I WANT TO WELCOME EVERYONE OUT OFFICIALLY TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. TODAY IS MONDAY, AUGUST 4TH,

[A. Meeting Opening]

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM 2. INVOCATIONS AND PLEDGES OF ALLEGIANCE.

I'VE ASKED MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS TO OFFER THE INVOCATION AND MISS BUEHLER TO LEAD THE PLEDGES. IF YOU WILL PLEASE RISE. PLEASE PRAY WITH ME.

DEAR LORD, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO MEET TONIGHT.

I DON'T NEED THAT. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO MEET TONIGHT.

AS WE PLAN FOR THE CITY'S FUTURE AND IN PLAN.

MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR OUR FUTURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PLEASE ALLOW US TO CONSIDER EACH OTHER'S ARGUMENTS AND THE CITIZENS ARGUMENTS AS THEY PROVIDE THE INPUT FOR OUR FUTURE. I ALWAYS ASK THAT YOU LOOK OUT FOR ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES AND SACHSE AS THEY KEEP OUR CITY RUNNING DAY TO DAY, AND I ALWAYS ASK THAT YOU LOOK OUT FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AS THEY ALWAYS CANNOT BE WITH THEIR FAMILIES. THANK YOU FOR US ALLOWING.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO GATHER TONIGHT AND PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE.

AMEN.

ALLEGIANCE] PLEDGE] THANK YOU, MAY BE SEATED.

AGAIN, THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS ITEM B.

[B. Public Comment]

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, IT WILL TAKE COMMENTS UNDER ADVISEMENT. WE DID OKAY.

I HAVE ONE SPEAKERS CARD. MARTY HOBART.

MARTY HOBART, 511 OAK RIDGE CIRCLE, SACHSE TEXAS, TOP OF THE HILL.

ONCE AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ABILITY TO SPEAK WHEN Y'ALL ARE HIDING BEHIND PUBLIC COMMENT, CONSENT AGENDAS, AND DISCUSSION ITEMS WHERE YOU CAN ONLY REALLY ASK ABOUT THREE MINUTES WORTH OF THINGS ON A MULTITUDE OF ITEMS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LIE ABOUT ANYWAYS. TOUGH BUDGET YEAR THIS YEAR, AND I GUESS THERE'S A LOT OF NO SUPPLEMENTAL THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR. SO IT'S PRETTY WELL GOING TO BE A FLAT BUDGET.

A LOT OF IMPORTANT PEOPLE ARE SAYING HOUSING PRICES ARE GOING TO GO DOWN.

SO I'M JUST REALLY THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE A QUARTER MILLION-DOLLAR DISCO BALL DOWN AT THE 5TH STREET OR THE STATION, $1 MILLION WALL THAT REALLY DIDN'T HELP ANYBODY.

A $5 MILLION BOONDOGGLE UP HERE THAT WE CALL THE 5TH STREET DISTRICT.

AN EDC WHERE THEY THINK BUYING A CAR IS A MASSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE YEAR.

AND THAT GETS YOU A $40,000 A YEAR RAISE. I'M ALSO KIND OF FED UP WITH THE FACT THAT Y'ALL HIDE BEHIND A $30,000 COMPENSATION STUDY WHEN THE CITY MANAGER SHOULD JUST STEP OUT HERE AND SAY, I MAKE $250,000 A YEAR, I GOT MINE, AND IT'S JUST TOO BAD FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.

GO DOWN THERE AND SIT UNDERNEATH THE DISCO BALL AND SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE WE'VE SHOWED.

MY TAXES ARE TOO HIGH, AND THE RATE OF RETURN THAT Y'ALL GIVE ME IS NOT VERY GOOD.

STREETS ARE CRAP. THEY'RE NOT GETTING MUCH BETTER.

YOU DID AN OVERLAY ON ANTHONY LANE. YOU NEED TO GO LOOK AT IT, BECAUSE THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY, IT'S FALLING APART, AND IT DOESN'T SEE ANY TRAFFIC.

STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE IS COLLAPSING. BUT WE GOT A DISCO BALL.

Y'ALL GOT A $5 MILLION BOONDOGGLE UP HERE, AND IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER, AND WE CAN'T EVEN PAY PEOPLE.

Y'ALL REALLY OUGHT TO BE PROUD OF YOURSELF. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. HOBART. I DO HAVE OTHER SPEAKER CARD.

JANE REED.

IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

OKAY. JANE. JANE REED, 2204 CORNWALL LANE. I.

[00:05:04]

I JUST HAVE SOME CONCERNS. BACK IN AUGUST, 21ST OF 2024.

I HAD LAUREN ROSE, LOGAN THATCHER AND COREY NESBIT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, AND WE WERE DISCUSSING THE SACHSE SOUTH ESTATES STREETS AND CURBS. AND BECAUSE THERE'S A BIG ISSUE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WITH THE CURBS, AND I ASKED AT THAT TIME, I ASKED LOGAN, I SAID, WELL, WHAT, I MEAN, I ASKED COREY, I SAID, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO REDO OUR SACHSE SOUTH ESTATES? AND AT THAT TIME, ON AUGUST 21ST, 2024, HE SAID 1.5 MILLION.

SO THIS PAST MEETING, LAST MONDAY WHEN I HEARD MISS COREY SPEAK, HE MENTIONED THAT THERE IT'S 2.1 MILLION PER MILE FOR RIGHT NOW TO REPLACE 2.1 MILLION PER MILE TO REPLACE THE STREET IN ASPHALT.

SO I'M THINKING, OKAY, HERE HE TOLD ME LAST AUGUST IT WAS 1.5 MILLION.

AND NOW A YEAR, ALMOST A YEAR LATER, NOW IT'S 2.1 MILLION.

AND TO DO OUR STREET I EMAILED LOGAN THATCHER AND HE SAID OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS 1.79 MILES.

AND TO DO THE CHEAPEST, LIKE THE OVERLAY AND THE CURBS, IT WOULD BE $2,894,704. THAT'S AN INCREASE OF 93%. SO WHAT MY CONCERN IS.

SO, IS THIS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO UP 93% EVERY YEAR UNTIL OUR NEIGHBORHOOD GETS FIXED? AND ALSO I DID NOT SEE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, CORNWALL LANE BEING ON A LIST OF STREETS THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED. BUT I BELIEVE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE A BOND FUND IN 2028, BUT I DO NOT SEE CORNWALL, SO I'M JUST WONDERING HOW MANY MORE YEARS IS IT GOING TO BE TILL I CAN GET MY STREET FIXED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE? BUT THEN IS IT GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, $8 MILLION TO FIX THE STREETS NOW AND THEN. I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION WHY IS THERE NOT A HANDICAP BUTTON TO OPEN THE DOOR INTO THIS BUILDING? THERE IS NOT A HANDICAP. THAT DOOR IS HEAVY. YOU SHOULD HAVE A HANDICAP BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR, THEY WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY OPENING THAT DOOR BY THEMSELVES.

THANKS. THANK YOU, MR. REED. I HAVE ANOTHER CARD FROM.

AND I APOLOGIZE IF IT'S YOUR NAME WRONG. JASON.

EDMONTON. OKAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. IF YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

YES, MY NAME IS JASON EDDINGTON. I AM FROM PAWNEE, TEXAS.

AND GOOD EVENING TO MAYOR BICKERSTAFF, COUNCIL MEMBER, CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER, OFFICERS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CITIZENS OF SACHSE.

MY NAME IS JASON EDDINGTON. I'M A NATIVE TEXAN CURRENT RESIDENT OF PAWNEE, TEXAS, AND A 2026 CANDIDATE FOR THE DISTRICT 2 TEXAS SENATE SEAT RUNNING AS A LIBERTY FIRST CONSERVATIVE. I WON'T GO INTO THE SPECIFICS OF MY PLATFORM.

YOU CAN FIND THAT INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE OR SOCIAL MEDIA. WHETHER I WANT TO TAKE THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES TO REAFFIRM ONE THING THAT THE PROMISE OF JEFFERSON, ADAMS AND WASHINGTON AND FRANKLIN THAT EVERY MAN IS ENTITLED TO LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS IS NOT JUST A PART OF WHO WE ARE.

IT'S EXACTLY WHO WE ARE. AND IF WE TRULY LEGISLATE ON THIS BASIS, THEN ONLY ONE THING CAN BE CONCLUDED.

GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION AND LEGISLATION AT THE NATIONAL STATE LEVEL SHOULD BE USED AS A LAST RESORT, NOT AS A FIRST OPTION. TO THE CITY LEADERSHIP, THE CAPITOL IN AUSTIN IS EXACTLY 219 MILES FROM THIS VERY SPOT.

WHILE I DON'T KNOW YOU PERSONALLY, I'M PRETTY CERTAIN THAT THERE ISN'T A PERSON AMONG YOU WHO WOULD BE OKAY WITH SOMEONE COMING INTO YOUR HOME DICTATING HOW YOU SHOULD RAISE YOUR KIDS, OR HOW YOU SHOULD REARRANGE YOUR FURNITURE, OR WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

THERE IS NO ONE BETTER POSITION TO LEGISLATE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS GOOD AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE CITY OF SACHSE THAN YOU.

TO THE CITIZENS OF SACHSE. WHILE I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE SOME ISSUES THAT YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, IT'S A MATTER OF MATH. ONE VOTE OUT OF TEN WILL MEAN AND MATTER MORE THAN ONE VOTE OUT OF 100, 1000 OR 10,000. THE ONLY WAY FOR YOUR VOTE AND YOUR VOICE TO TRULY MATTER.

THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO HAVE ACTUAL INPUT INTO ISSUES THAT IMPACT YOU.

[00:10:03]

HOW YOUR CHILD IS EDUCATED, IS TO ENSURE EVERY YEAR THAT THE ISSUES THAT MATTER THE MOST TO YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY ARE ON THE BALLOT THROUGH THE ELECTION OF YOUR LOCAL LEADERS. MY CANDIDACY, MY GOAL, IF ELECTED AS YOUR STATE SENATOR, IS NOT JUST TO BE FOR THE PEOPLE.

THAT CLAUSE BY ITSELF IS INCOMPLETE. LINCOLN'S TESTAMENT DURING THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS, WHEN HE SPOKE ON THE REBIRTH OF A NATION, WAS THAT GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE BEGIN FIRST WITH BEING BY THE PEOPLE.

AND WHEN WE MOVED TO NULLIFY YOUR ABILITY TO DICTATE AND DETERMINE WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR COMMUNITY, WE FALL SHORT IN PROTECTING YOUR INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES TO THE VERY ONES CONCEPTUALIZED IN THE DECLARATION AND EXPLICITLY FRAMED IN THE CONSTITUTION.

SO AS WE INCH CLOSER TO THE PRIMARIES NEXT MARCH, I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THIS.

IF YOU'RE NOT 100% CONVINCED THAT YOUR VOTE TRULY MATTERS, THAT YOUR LOCAL LEADERS ARE TRULY EMPOWERED TO LEGISLATE FOR SACHSE, OR THAT THEY EXPERIENCE HURDLES WHEN DOING SO? I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH YOU, TO HEAR YOU AND TO CONVINCE YOU.

HOW AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE, I WILL ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FOREVER AND ALWAYS HEARD.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. EDDINGTON. AND I DID.

WE DID HAVE A MEETING SPEAKER FORM EMAILED PRIOR TO THE MEETING BY MR. JAMES KENNEDY. IS HE HAPPENED TO BE HERE TONIGHT? OH, THERE YOU GO. OKAY. IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

YEAH, JAMES KENNEDY, 6230 CREEKHAVEN COURT, SACHSE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I JUST HAD A GENERAL QUESTION REGARDING THE ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE CITY.

I SEE, AND I PULLED THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET. AND I SEE IN THE STREETS THAT 73% OF THIS YEAR'S ACTUAL BUDGET HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO STREETS. BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED MOVING FORWARD AS FAR AS IS THERE ANY PLANS, BONDS, PUBLIC HEARING THAT'S BEEN SET FOR TO IMPROVE THE ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CARNEY. THAT'S ALL THE SPEAKERS CARDS I HAVE.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON A DISCUSSION ITEM OR A CONSENT AGENDA? YES, SIR. COME ON DOWN. IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. MY NAME IS BOB. MY NAME IS BOB COUCH.

I'M A SACHSE RESIDENT FOR 20 YEARS AT 3312 WILLOW CREEK COURT.

AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME FROM THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL.

A VERY SMALL ITEM, BUT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IT WAS IMPORTANT.

WE HAD A SENIOR ADULT LADY WHO HAD A TREE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

IT GOT BROKEN UP BY HER LANDSCAPER PUT ON THE STREET TO BE HAULED AWAY, AND CWD BYPASSED HER. DID NOT PICK IT UP EVEN THOUGH OTHERS ON THE STREET HAD SIMILAR DEBRIS PILES.

AND THAT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THE JULY 4TH WEEKEND.

WITHIN 48 HOURS, SHE HAD A NOTICE ON HER DOOR FROM THE CITY THAT IT WAS TOO EARLY TO PUT OUT DEBRIS FOR THE JULY BULK PICKUP, AND IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE IT CLEARED OUT BY JULY THE 8TH, SHE WOULD BE SIGHTED AND THERE WOULD BE A FINE.

SHE REACHED OUT TO THE NUMBER ON THERE, BEGIN THE PROCESS, AND OF COURSE, STILL CONFUSED WHY IT WASN'T PICKED UP INITIALLY.

SO NEIGHBORS BEGAN TO TALK. WE WERE TRYING TO HELP HER OUT.

WHAT SHE LEARNED WAS THAT SHE COULD CALL A NUMBER CW, CWC, WHATEVER WOULD COME MAKE A SPECIAL PICKUP AT A COST OF $253, WHICH WAS NOT AN OPTION FOR HER. SO WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HELP HER OUT, WHAT WE MIGHT COULD DO. I'D REACHED OUT AND SPOKE WITH COUNCILMAN FRANKS JUST TO MAKE HIM AWARE AND AGAIN TRYING TO HELP OUR NEIGHBOR OUT.

AND WHAT SHE ENDED UP DOING WAS CALLING THE FOLKS AT CWD, AND THEY TOLD HER THAT IF THEY, IF SHE WOULD GIVE THEM A DEPOSIT OVER THE PHONE, THEY WOULD GET HER ON THE SCHEDULE TO PICK IT UP ON TUESDAY THE 8TH AND BEAT THE DEADLINE FOR THE CITATION AND THE FINE. AND IF SHE GOT IT MOVED, IF THEY KNOW, IF SHE NOTIFIED THEM BY NOON ON MONDAY THE 7TH, THEY'D GIVE HER A REFUND AND SHE'D BE FINE. WELL, SHE GAVE THEM THE MONEY.

THE DEBRIS GOT PICKED UP ON FRIDAY MORNING, JULY THE 4TH.

I DON'T KNOW WHO'S WORKING ON JULY THE 4TH, BUT IT GOT PICKED UP EARLY IN THE MORNING.

SHE CONTACTED HIM. THEY SAID, YEAH, WE CAME AND GOT IT BECAUSE YOU PAID US TO COME GET IT.

SHE SAID I HAD FRIENDS THAT WERE GOING TO TRY TO GET IT MOVED SO I COULD CALL YOU ON MONDAY.

SHE WAS OUT THE MONEY. IT'S A MESS. WE FEEL BAD FOR HER.

NUMBER ONE, IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WITH CWD OR THE CITY OR ANYTHING TO GET HER REIMBURSED? NUMBER TWO, AND THIS IS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WHY ARE WE SO QUICK TO DO A WARNING AND A CITATION FOR SOMEONE IN THAT SITUATION, WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PROPERTIES IN

[00:15:08]

SO NOT ONLY CONCERNED FOR HER, BUT CONCERNED FOR THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PROCESS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MISTER COUCH AND MR. THATCHER CAN GET WITH YOU AND ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, LOGAN THATCHER.

MR. THATCHER CAN GET WITH YOU AND ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I SAW SPEAKERS CARDS I HAVE.

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? YES, SIR. COME ON DOWN.

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

MY NAME IS SCOTT BOSWELL, SACHSE. I LIVE AT 6308 BAILEY ROAD.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW, IS THERE SOMEBODY THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO TO GET SOME IDEA OF A COMPLETION TIME ON BAILEY? AND IF THE CITY HAS GIVEN ANY THOUGHT INTO THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FROM HOME THAT HAVE HAD THEIR INTERNET CUT FIVE, SIX, SEVEN TIMES. NEVER BEEN REPORTED BY THE STREET CREW.

SO YOU START A TROUBLE TICKET AND YOU'RE FOUR DAYS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT GETS REPAIRED.

THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN OFFERED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THEIR LAND, AND THEN OTHER NEIGHBORS ARE BASICALLY PAID PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT'S DISAPPEARING IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE.

AND I CONTINUE TO CALL THE PROJECT MANAGER, WHO'S BEEN VERY GOOD TO ANSWER MY CALLS, BUT NEVER ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

AND THERE'S 5 OR 6 PEOPLE ON THAT STREET. WE KNOW THERE'S GETTING MEDIANS PUT IN.

WE LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY. I HAVE A 35 FOOT HORSE TRAILER THAT COMES IN AND OUT OF THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS.

MY NEIGHBOR HAD TO USE MY DRIVEWAY TO GET A LOAD OF HAY ON SUNDAY, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ACCESS HIS DRIVEWAY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY'RE PARKING EQUIPMENT. THEY HAVE A LAY DOWN YARD AT THE END OF THE STREET.

THEY DON'T USE THE LAY DOWN YARD AT 4:00 OR 5 WHEN THEY STOP THE TRACTORS, THE EXCAVATORS, THEY'RE ALL STOCKED ON THE ROAD. SO GOD FORBID IF THERE'S EVER A FIRE OR SOMEBODY NEEDS AN AMBULANCE DOWN THAT STREET, THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD GET EMERGENCY SERVICES DOWN.

BECAUSE IF THEY HAD TO SWING WIDE TO PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY, THEY CAN'T.

I'VE LEFT ALL OF THESE CONCERNS ON HIS VOICEMAIL AND I HAVE GOTTEN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BACK.

IF THEY COULD JUST DO THAT 40, 60-FOOT SPOT TO ANTHONY TO WHERE WE COULD AS RESIDENTS COULD TURN LEFT, AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WILLIFORD, OR I NOTICED THE GENTLEMAN FROM ANTHONY ROAD.

I KNOW HE'S GOT TO BE TIRED OF THAT TRAFFIC CUTTING THROUGH, BUT WE CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS FROM A SOUL.

WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE DONE SOMETIME JULY OR AUGUST, AND I LIVE THERE, AND I LISTENED TO MY WIFE TALK ABOUT A DIRTY CAR EVERY TIME SHE COMES DOWN THAT STREET. I MEAN, IT'S BAD. AND WHEN SCHOOL STARTS AND YOU GOT PEOPLE DROPPING OFF KIDS, IF YOU'RE BEHIND A GARBAGE TRUCK, THEY'RE STOPPING AT EVERY HOUSE AND IT'S ONE LANE.

YOU GET BEHIND A POSTAGE VEHICLE. IT'S THE SAME WAY.

AND THEN YOU HAD AMAZON AND UPS. IT COULD TAKE YOU 15 20 MINUTES TO GO NINE HOUSES.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY GUY THAT'S GOD'S MIND OFF OF BAILEY OR NOT.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT VERY HAPPY AND NOT GETTING ANSWERS.

AND I KNOW I TURNED DOWN THE FIRST OFFER ON MY HOUSE FOR THE PROPERTY, BECAUSE I THINK I GOT OFFERED $220 FOR THE, YOU KNOW, THE 18FT THAT ARE TAKEN FROM ME. AND I KNOW THAT THE GUY RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD OFF THE WHEEL GOT ALMOST $8000 FOR LESS SQUARE FOOTAGE THAN I HAD. SO I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY GUY. I HOPE TO GOD THERE'S MORE OF ME THAT COMES TO.

MR. BOSWELL YOUR TIME, YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED. OKAY. THANK YOU.

I CAN TALK TO HIM. OKAY. MR. BOSWELL. MISS ROSE CAN SPEAK WITH YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE? YES, SIR. COME ON DOWN. IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. MY NAME IS STEPHEN PETERS. I LIVE AT 7602 VISTA CREEK.

SIR, IF I COULD JUST GIVE YOU A SCOOT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT. SURE. DO YOU NEED ME TO REPEAT IT? YEAH, YEAH. NO. YOU'RE FINE. ALL RIGHT. PERFECT.

I'M JUST CURIOUS. I SEE THE POSTED SIGNS OUT FRONT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PUBLIC NOTICE HEARINGS FOR THE PROPOSED MCDONALD'S IS GOING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, WELL BEHIND MY HOUSE.

NOBODY SAID ANYTHING. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A NOTICE MAILED TO US.

[00:20:01]

I DON'T THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD LOOK, PERSONALLY.

YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD BE GETTING MORE AND BETTER COMMUNICATION FROM WHOMEVER IT IS THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING THAT STUFF DONE.

LIKE, I DON'T THINK THAT'S. I DON'T THINK FINDING OUT ON FACEBOOK IS HOW WE SHOULD BE DOING THESE THINGS.

WE NEVER REALLY GOT A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON ADDITIONAL GAS STATIONS GOING IN.

WE ALSO HAVE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS UP AND DOWN 78 THAT ARE COMPLETELY VACANT, THAT WE COULD BE UTILIZING, INSTEAD OF TEARING UP MORE FIELDS FOR MORE CONCRETE.

CONCRETE DOES NOT ABSORB WATER VERY WELL. ONLY THING THAT DOES GRASS, TREES.

YOU KNOW, ALL WE'RE DOING, WE'VE GOT MULTIPLE CAR WASHES.

THEY KEEP GETTING TORN DOWN AND REBUILT. THE EXACT SAME.

WHY ARE WE USING UP ALL THAT MATERIAL AND RESOURCES FOR THE EXACT SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER? THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE FINANCIALLY FOR EVERYONE.

SO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ON THIS. YOU KNOW? I KNOW. I'M ONE PERSON TO SPEAK ON IT. I DON'T FIND IT ACCEPTABLE.

AND I WOULDN'T THINK ANYBODY ELSE WHO IS COMPETENT ON DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD FIND THAT TO BE ACCEPTABLE, EITHER. THANK YOU, MR. PETERS. OKAY. NO MORE SPEAKERS CARDS.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA ITEM D.

THE CONSENT AGENDA. I'M SORRY. MY BAD. THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM C.

OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS LIKE TO ADDRESS THE AUDIENCE AT THIS TIME. IF NOT, MISS NASH.

SEE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I HAVE SEVERAL THINGS.

ONE IS I WANT TO WELCOME A LIST OF GOOD LIST OF NEW HIRES TO THE TEAM.

BRADY DAVIS, PARKS MAINTENANCE TECH I. AIDAN PHILLIPS, WATER MAINTENANCE TECH I.

HENRY DONCASTER, POLICE RECRUIT. LUIS OLIVARES, ANOTHER PARK MAINTENANCE TECH I.

JIMMY GRANBERRY, STREET MAINTENANCE TECH II. JEFF SON, OUR FINANCE AND PURCHASING MANAGER.

ELENA GUTIERREZ, ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICER. AND HUGO ESPINOZA, OUR NEW ANIMAL SERVICES MANAGER.

SO A COUPLE OF PROMOTIONS. ROBERT YOUNG WAS PROMOTED FROM POLICE RECRUIT TO POLICE OFFICER, AND MARK SIMONEAU WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE PARKS MAINTENANCE TEAM AND HE IS NOW A POLICE RECRUIT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF THEM. AND THEN FINALLY, JUST SOME RECOGNITIONS OF EMPLOYEES FOR EXHIBITING OUR CORE VALUES.

ONE IN SERVICE. I WANT TO GIVE A SINCERE THANK YOU TO SEVERAL EMPLOYEES FROM AROUND THE CITY WHO HAVE HELPED US OUT WITH, AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER. SO WHEN OUR ANIMAL SHELTER NEEDED EXTRA HANDS OVER THE LAST MONTH.

THESE CITY TEAM MEMBERS DO NOT HESITATE TO JUMP IN.

THEY HELPED WITH FEEDING, CLEANING, ANSWERING PHONES AND MAY HAVE HAD SOME NEW FURRY FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY COME HOME WITH THEM.

BUT THEIR HELP SHOWS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT OUR TEAM IS DEDICATED TO, PROVIDING THE COMMUNITY BOTH TWO LEGGED AND FOUR LEGGED.

I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE THANK YOU SPECIFICALLY TO JILL HERNANDEZ IN RECORDS, BELINDA DECKER IN PUBLIC WORKS, KELLY DENNIS IN MUNICIPAL COURT, MICHELLE MATTICE IN FINANCE, JAMES BURNS IN IT, VICTORIA ALDRETE IN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, AND BRENDA MCINTOSH FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES.

ALL OF THESE EMPLOYEES STEPPED UP WHILE WE WORKED TO WELCOME OUR NEW ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICERS, AS WELL AS OUR NEW MANAGER, WHO STARTED TODAY.

SO A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR WORK.

AND LASTLY, OUR CORE VALUES RECOGNITION REALLY IS OUR NEIGHBORLY CORE VALUES.

SO AS MAYOR AND COUNCIL, YOU'RE AWARE OUR NEIGHBORS IN THE HILL COUNTRY SUFFERED FROM CATASTROPHIC FLOODING IN ON JULY 4TH.

AND AS TEXANS DO SO, MANY INDIVIDUALS RALLIED TOGETHER TO GIVE THEIR TIME AND RESOURCES TO ASSIST IN THE RECOVERY AND RESCUE OPERATIONS.

AND I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT TWO OF OUR EMPLOYEES GAVE THEIR TIME AND WERE RECENTLY DEPLOYED TO THE HILL COUNTRY.

ESTHER WEAVER IN COMMUNICATIONS, WAS DEPLOYED TO THE JOINT INFORMATION CENTER IN KERRVILLE TO HELP WITH COMMUNICATIONS FOLLOWING THE EVENT.

AND WHILE THERE, SHE RESPONDED TO MEDIA INQUIRIES, HELP MAINTAIN A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS DOCUMENT FOR THE MEDIA, LOGGED INQUIRIES, AND HELPED DRAFT MESSAGING AND GRAPHICS AS NEW SITUATIONS UNFOLDED.

IN THE FEW DAYS THAT SHE WAS THERE, AND OUR VERY OWN CHIEF WADE WAS DEPLOYED TO TRAVIS COUNTY AS A MEMBER OF THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT'S INCIDENT SUPPORT TASK FORCE. CHIEF WADE SERVED ON A TEN DAY DEPLOYMENT AND OCCUPIED A VARIETY OF ROLES, INCLUDING HANDLING THE PLANNING AND LOGISTICS FUNCTIONS OF THE AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. HE WAS ALSO OUT IN THE FIELD HELPING WITH VOLUNTEER AND DONATIONS MANAGEMENT SUPPORT.

SO THE CITY OF SACHSE IS FULL OF COMMITTED PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO WORK TIRELESSLY FOR THIS COMMUNITY EVERY DAY.

AND WHILE CHIEF WADE AND ESTHER RESPONDED TO THE CALL, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LINE OF EMPLOYEES FROM SACHSE OFFERING TO HELP THEIR NEIGHBORS DOWN IN CENTRAL TEXAS IF NEEDED.

TO CHIEF WADE AND TO ESTHER. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP TO HELP BRING YOUR EXPERTISE IN A TIME OF CRISIS IN CENTRAL TEXAS.

AND WHILE WE CANNOT TAKE AWAY THE HEARTACHE THAT HAS OCCURRED DOWN THERE, WE CAN LEND A HAND TO MANAGING A HORRIFIC SITUATION A LITTLE EASIER.

SO THANK YOU TO BOTH ESTHER AND TO CHIEF WADE.

THANK YOU, MISS NASH. AND YES, I WOULD EXTEND MY THANKS TO BOTH ESTHER AND CHIEF WADE.

THAT WAS A HORRIBLE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED. AND WE APPRECIATE YOU LENDING YOUR HAND TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE OUT DOWN THERE.

[00:30:04]

SAMMY IS STILL IN NEED OF A GOOD HOME. SAMMY IS ONE OF OUR LONGTIME RESIDENTS AT THIS ANIMAL SHELTER.

HE IS READY FOR A FAMILY. SO THERE HE IS RIGHT THERE.

HE'S AROUND EIGHT YEARS OLD, AND SO HE'S VERY AFFECTIONATE AND GENTLE.

ALWAYS HAPPY TO SPEND TIME AROUND PEOPLE. SO I GET ALONG PRETTY MUCH WITH EVERYBODY.

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, HE'S NEUTERED, HAS HIS VACCINATIONS, OR HE'S ALREADY NEUTERED, HIS VACCINATIONS WILL BE COVERED BY THE SHELTER AND HIS ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN WAIVED. SO PLEASE COME MEET SAMMY AND HIS FRIENDS AT THE SACHSE ANIMAL SHELTER. AND THEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT, WE HAVE $0 FREE PET ADOPTIONS THAT ARE EXTENDED AS IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE.

AND WE'VE HAD A VERY MILD SUMMER SO FAR. BUT WE DO HAVE OUR RESIDENTS AT SACHSE ANIMAL SHELTER DO INCREASE.

SO WE EXTENDED THE $0 PET ADOPTIONS. IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING OPENING YOUR HEART HOME TO A LOYAL COMPANION, NOW'S THE TIME. AND PLEASE HELP MAKE SPACE FOR AN ANIMAL IN NEED.

AND THEN ALSO TWO WE HAVE THE AUGUST IS RECYCLING FOR TEXAS HILL COUNTRY RELIEF MONTH.

YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO RECYCLE MORE THIS AUGUST.

IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RELIEF TO THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY THAT WAS DEVASTATED BY THE FLOOD JULY 4TH.

IT'S JUST BASICALLY JUST A Q&A DISCUSSION. SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THAT AGAIN THIS THURSDAY, 6 TO 7:30 P.M. AT CONNIE ROSSO HERE IN SACHSE.

EXCUSE ME. AND LASTLY, BUT NOT LEAST, OF COURSE AND MISS BUHLER TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT.

OUR RED, WHITE & BLUE BLAST WAS THIS PAST JULY 3RD.

AWESOME. AWESOME. IT GETS BETTER EVERY YEAR AND THIS YEAR IS NO EXCEPTION.

AND WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE AND PUT A CAP, IF YOU WILL, ON THAT GREAT EVENT WITH THE SHORT VIDEO SUMMARIZING WHAT THE EVENT WAS ALL ABOUT.

AND WITH THAT, MR. GRANGER, JUST A SECOND. DID YOU DID YOU WANT TO WAIT? DID YOU HAVE SOME OKAY WITH THAT? MR.. GRANGER, IF YOU CAN ROLL THE TAPE.

THIS EVENT REPRESENTS THE BEST OF SACHSE. IT BRINGS OUT OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP AND A LOT OF FUN.

ALL NIGHT, DRIVING TILL THE SUNRISE, WISHING WE COULD FREEZE TIME.

NO BETTER PLACE FOR US TO GO. BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES.

IT'S DEEPER THAN A THOUSAND MILES. NOBODY BUT YOU I DON'T WANNA KNOW.

SHADOWS DANCE ON THE CELLING. YOUR HEART KEEPS MINE BEATING.

I CAN'T SLOW THIS FEELING. IT'S NEVER GET IT ON, YOU AND ME.

WELL, THE RED, WHITE & BLUE BLAST HAS EVOLVED TREMENDOUSLY OVER THE YEARS.

I REMEMBER WHEN THIS WAS JUST A QUICK FIREWORK SHOW FOR AN HOUR, AND THAT WAS IT.

AND TODAY, WHAT YOU SEE IS A BIG CELEBRATION OF WHAT SACHSE IS ALL ABOUT, COMMUNITY AND FAMILY.

DON'T BE SCARED. I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE. I DON'T CARE WHERE WE ARE.

IT DON'T MATTER WHEN. I WANT YOU GO. I WANT IT ALL NIGHT, SHOTGUN! SHOTGUN! SHOTGUN.

WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO MOST ABOUT THIS EVENT IS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE LIVE MUSIC.

IT'S GOING TO BE FAMILY FRIENDLY, AND IT'S GOING TO JUST BE A LOT OF FAMILIES AND PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO ARE SMILING AND ENJOYING THEMSELVES.

SHOTGUN, SHOTGUN. YOU SUPPORT OUR LONG TERM GOALS BECAUSE THIS BRINGS THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AS A WHOLE.

[1. Receive the quarterly 2021 Bond update.]

MISS NASH. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, LEAH IS GOING TO CONTROL THE PRESENTATION FROM HER WORKSTATION.

AND SO I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN GET EYE CONTACT WITHOUT WEARING GLASSES AND PUT THEM ON AND I'LL WINK.

ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS OUR QUARTERLY BOND UPDATE.

THAT WE DO OBVIOUSLY PROVIDE EVERY QUARTER. AND SO JUST IN THE DISCUSSION OF WHERE WE ARE ON THE BOND PROJECTS, GIVING YOU SOME UPDATES ON THE PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTIVE.

BAILEY-HOOPER, SACHSE ROAD PHASE 2, WILLIFORD ROAD AND WEST CREEK LANE.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PACKAGES AND THEN AGAIN TALKING ABOUT FUTURE PROJECTS TIMELINES MOVING FORWARD.

SO THIS IS JUST THE GENERAL LANGUAGE I HAVE ON HERE EVERY TIME MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN KIND OF FOR THE PUBLIC SO THEY CAN SEE.

THESE ARE THE FOUR PROPOSITIONS THAT WERE INCLUDED ON THE NOVEMBER 2021 BOND ELECTION BALLOT.

AGAIN SACHSE ROAD, FROM MILES ROAD TO THE CITY LIMITS, UPGRADING SEVERAL OF OUR SACHSE STREETS AND ROADS.

SPECIFICALLY, YOU CAN SEE THEIR BAILEY ROAD, BAILEY-HOOPER ROAD TO HIGHWAY 78, WILLIFORD ROAD, AND OF COURSE, WEST CREEK LANE IS THE OTHER PROJECT.

AND THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND RESIDENTIAL PACKAGES AGAIN THAT WE EVERY YEAR COME BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE THE SPECIFIC ONES THAT WE WANT TO DO THAT WERE INCLUDED FINANCIALLY IN THIS PACKAGE. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER, WHICH HAS BEEN COMPLETED. SO BAILEY-HOOPER ROAD.

THE PROJECT IS ABOUT 25% COMPLETED, SO WE HAVE WATER AND SANITARY SEWER INSTALLED FROM SACHSE ROAD TO WILLIFORD ROAD.

[00:40:01]

WE STILL DO ANTICIPATE COMPLETION IN THE FALL OF 2025, BUT AS YOU KNOW THIS, WE'RE ABOUT TO APPROACH RAINY WEATHER SEASON.

SO IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL, WE STILL ANTICIPATE THE ROAD BEING SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

WITH SOME OF THE THINGS ON, ON OUTSIDE OF THE ROADWAY NECESSARILY NOT NECESSARILY BEING FINISHED, BUT THE ROADWAY BEING SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE BY THE FALL.

BUT AGAIN, THAT IS ALL DEPENDENT ON OUR FRIENDLY WEATHER, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS FRIENDLY, WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS.

SO HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE. OBVIOUSLY VERY SIGNIFICANT WORK THAT WE'VE HAD TO DO IN ADDITION TO JUST BUILDING A ROAD.

IT'S ALL OF THE WATER SEWER DRAINAGE WORK THAT'S HAD TO BE DONE FOR THAT PROJECT.

SACHSE ROAD PHASE 2, AGAIN THAT'S FOR MILES TO MERRITT THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND LAYOUT IS DONE.

WE ARE REVIEWING THE 90% SET OF PLANS, BUT WE ARE STILL WORKING ON EASEMENT AND RIGHT AWAY DOCUMENTS FOR THAT PROJECT.

AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CONSULTANTS TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF ACQUISITION OF PARCELS.

BUT WE HAVE NOT STARTED THAT YET. WE'RE WRAPPING UP THE DOCUMENT REVIEW FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY, BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION IN THE SUMMER OF 2026 FOR THAT PROJECT.

WILLIFORD FROM 78 TO BAILEY ROAD, WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS A 60% SET OF PLANS FOR THAT PROJECT, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IMPORTANT THAT PROJECT IS RELATIVE TO DRAINAGE ISSUES AND ALL THE RAIN THAT WE'VE HAD AND HOW CHALLENGING THAT CAN BE. AND SO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THOSE PLANS AND HOPEFULLY GETTING A FINAL SET HERE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS.

WEST CREEK FROM SACHSE ROAD TO TIMBERCREEK CAUGHT THAT ONE.

WE'RE VERY CLOSE, AND WE'RE ALMOST TO A 90% SET OF DESIGN PLANS ON THAT PROJECT.

AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD PACKAGES AGAIN, AS COUNCIL DECIDED TO ACCELERATE SOME OF THE FUNDING ON THIS.

WE HAVE PREPARED PROJECTS, OBVIOUSLY, FOR CONSTRUCTION IN 24-25.

AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER SET OF PROJECTS FOR 25-26.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE LIST HERE, THAT THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO EACH CONTRACTOR AND THE ONES THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

SO INDUSTRIAL DRIVE AND PARK LANE IS UNDER DESIGN.

CREEK CROSSING, WE HAVE THOSE PANELS REMOVED AND THE SUBGRADE IS BEING PREPARED.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE ALBERTA CIRCLE, CEDAR CREEK LANE ALLEY AND CEDAR BROOK COURT, THOSE PANELS ARE REMOVED AND THE SUBGRADE IS BEING PREPARED.

SEVENTH STREET, WE PLAN TO START THAT WORK LATER IN THE SUMMER, AS WELL AS THE JEWELL STREET ALLEY AND THE RUSTIC STREET AND ALLEY AGAIN LATER THIS SUMMER, AND MAPLE SHADE AVENUE ALLEY AND RIDGEVIEW DRIVE AGAIN, ALL LATE SUMMER PROJECTS.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE WORK THAT HAS STARTED TO THE FAR RIGHT AND WORK THAT THE STATE OF THOSE ROADS AND WHY THOSE NEED TO BE DONE, ROADS AND ALLEYS. SO THESE ARE OUR INFOGRAPHICS THAT WE PUT OUT ON THE WEBSITE.

AND ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT IS OUT ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

AND THAT INFORMATION ACTUALLY IS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. BUT YOU CAN SEE WE'VE DONE UPDATED GRAPHICS TO REFLECT ALL THE STEPS THAT WE'VE TAKEN ON BAYLEE HOOPER ROAD TO THIS POINT, AS WELL AS SACHSE ROAD PHASE TWO AND WHERE WE ARE WITH THE DESIGN THERE.

WILLIFORD ROAD, AS I SAID, JUST REALLY GETTING THAT PART STARTED.

SAME WITH WEST CREEK LANE. ALMOST DONE THOUGH WITH THE PLANS AND SO OUR FUTURE BOND SCHEDULE.

SACHSE ROAD PHASE THREE. WE TALKED ABOUT STARTING THE DESIGN ON THAT THIS FALL TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE 2627 YEAR.

AND OF COURSE, WE'VE COMPLETED THE SACHSE ANIMAL SHELTER.

BUT ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYBODY HAS ON THE BOND AND ALL OF THOSE INFOGRAPHICS AND INFORMATION IS ON OUR WEBSITE AT CITYOFSACHSE.COM/BOND2021. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS ON ANY OF THESE PROJECTS.

THANK YOU, MISS NASH. QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL OR COMMENTS? YOU MUST HAVE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB, MISS NASH. OKAY, YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

YES. WE ALL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. OKAY. IF NOT, THANK YOU, MISS NASH.

APPRECIATE THAT. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. ITEM 2.

[2. Receive an update on the 89th Regular Legislative Session and the 89th (1) Special Legislative Session.]

HELLO, MR. THATCHER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE LEAH DRIVE FOR ME HERE. I HOPE SHE KNOWS YOUR BODY LANGUAGE.

YEAH, WELL, I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT EVERYONE'S FAVORITE SUBJECT OF THE EVENING.

[00:45:07]

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON.

WE'LL TOUCH ON GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S PRIORITIES, AND THEN WE'LL DISCUSS SOME OF THE LEGISLATION THAT'S IMPACTING SACHSE.

AND GO ON TO NEXT STEPS. SO WITH THE 89TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION THIS WAS ANOTHER RECORD SETTING SESSION IN TERMS OF VOLUME. OVER 9000 BILLS WERE FILED. OF THOSE ARE CITY TRACKED.

2100 WITH 262 HAVING A DIRECT OR POTENTIAL IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

A SPECIAL SESSION, AS I MENTIONED, DID BEGIN ON JULY 21ST AND CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON ADDITIONAL KEY ISSUES, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON NEXT. SO THERE ARE 18 ITEMS THAT WERE ON THE GOVERNOR'S AGENDA FOR THE SPECIAL SESSION COVERING A BROAD RANGE OF POLICY TOPICS INCLUDING DISASTER RECOVERY, EDUCATION REFORM, PUBLIC SAFETY AND PROPERTY TAXES. SPEAKING OF PROPERTY TAXES, THERE ARE TWO BILLS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION HERE.

IS SENATE BILL 9 AND HOUSE BILL 63. SENATE BILL 9 BY SENATOR BETTENCOURT WOULD LOWER THE REVENUE MULTIPLIER AND THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE CALCULATION FOR A CITY OR COUNTY WITH A POPULATION OF 30,000 OR GREATER, FROM 3.5% TO 2.5%.

THIS MEANS THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE CALCULATION WOULD BE LOWERED IN AN AUTOMATIC ELECTION ON THE NOVEMBER UNIFORM ELECTION DATE WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ANY ADOPTED TAX RATE EXCEEDING THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE. THEN HOUSE BILL 63 WOULD IMPOSE AN ARBITRARY SPENDING CAP ON MUNICIPALITIES BY LIMITING ANNUAL EXPENDITURES TO THE PRIOR YEAR'S TOTAL, OR ADJUSTING ONLY FOR POPULATION GROWTH AND INFLATION.

I WANTED TO MENTION THOSE, AS THOSE WOULD INHIBIT GREATLY ON FUTURE, THE FUTURE OF SACHSE IN OUR BUDGETARY RESTRAINTS. AS I MENTIONED, THE SPECIAL SESSION IS STILL ONGOING AND STAFF IS TRACKING IT CLOSELY.

I KNOW THERE IS SOME COUNCIL INTEREST IN SENDING LETTERS TO OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES IN OPPOSITION OF THOSE TWO BILLS.

IF ANYONE ON COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN ALSO DOING SO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I CAN HELP ASSIST WITH THAT.

ALSO THAT IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY AGAINST THESE, I WILL LET COUNCIL KNOW IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THAT AS WELL.

GOING ON TO GOVERNOR ABBOTT PRIORITIES, AS YOU MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LEGISLATION, PROPERTY TAX RELIEF, WATER INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT, TEACHER PAY RAISE, EXPANDED CAREER TRAINING, SCHOOL CHOICE, BAIL REFORM AND TEXAS CYBER COMMAND.

ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY ON SOME OF THESE BILLS THAT WE TRACK THAT AFFECT LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AND SOME OF THESE THAT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT THE CITY OF SACHSE. SENATE BILL 1851 IS PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE AUDIT, ESTABLISHES PENALTIES FOR MUNICIPALITIES THAT FAIL TO COMPLETE SUBMIT THEIR REQUIRED ANNUAL PHYSICAL AUDIT IN A TIMELY MANNER.

THANKFULLY, WE HAVE A GREAT FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND WE'VE NOT EVER BEEN IN THAT CASE.

HOUSE BILL 198 REQUIRES PERIODIC CANCER SCREENINGS FOR FIREFIGHTERS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO ALREADY DO, BUT WE WILL MONITOR THIS AND COORDINATE WITH OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

GOING ON TO LAND USE. HOUSE BILL 24 MODIFIES THE PROCESS BY WHICH ZONING PROTEST CAN TRIGGER A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

HOUSE BILL 2559 AMENDS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TO SET OUR STRICTER PROCEDURES, SET OUT STRICTER PROCEDURES AND LIMITS FOR CITIES WHEN ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.

SENATE BILL 1883 MAKES SEVERAL CHANGES TO HOW CITIES ADOPT AND UPDATE IMPACT FEES.

WE DID JUST UPDATE OURS LAST YEAR, AND SO WE WILL LOOK AT THIS BILL IN THE FUTURE WHENEVER WE NEED TO UPDATE THEM AGAIN IN FUTURE YEARS.

ONE QUICK THING TO NOTE ON THAT, SINCE I'M DEALING WITH THAT WITH ANOTHER CITY, ONE OF THE OTHER CHANGES IN THERE IS YOU CAN NO LONGER USE YOUR ENTIRE PNZ AS BEING THE BOARD TO OVERSEE THAT. YOU COULD USE PROBABLY MAYBE HALF OF THEM, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE BOARD.

REGARDING THE IMPACT FEE CHANGES? YES. OF COURSE.

YEAH. SENATE BILL 2835. EXCUSE ME. GIVE CITIES THE OPTION TO ALLOW CERTAIN MID-RISE APARTMENT BUILDINGS TO BE BUILT WITH ONLY ONE STAIRWAY, RATHER THAN THE TWO REQUIRED UNDER STANDARD INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE.

[00:50:04]

AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS ONE HAS AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2026.

MOVING ON TO OPEN GOVERNMENT AND ELECTIONS. HOUSE BILL 1522 CHANGES THE PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE REQUIREMENT FROM 72 HOURS TO THREE BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED MEETING DATE.

HOUSE BILL 3112 CLARIFIES THAT CITIES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DISCUSS CYBERSECURITY POLICIES OR CONTRACTS IN PUBLIC MEETINGS.

HOUSE BILL 4310 COUNCILMEMBER RIGHT OF ACCESS TO PUBLIC INFORMATION GIVES EACH CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND THE MAYOR LEGAL RIGHT TO INSPECT AND COPY PUBLIC DOCUMENTS FROM THE CITY WHEN SERVING IN THEIR OFFICIAL ROLE.

SENATE BILL 1025 REQUIRES ANY BALLOT MEASURE THAT ASKS VOTERS TO APPROVE A NEW TAX OR TAX INCREASE TO CLEARLY STATE THE EXACT OR MAXIMUM TAX RATE INVOLVED. IN ADDITION, THE MEASURE MUST INCLUDE THE PHRASE "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE" IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS USING THE SAME FONT SIZE AS THE REST OF THE PROPOSITION.

MOVING ON REALLY QUICK TO CITY ADMINISTRATION.

HOUSE BILL 149 ESTABLISHES A STATEWIDE FRAMEWORK REGULATING THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS. HOUSE BILL 3512 REQUIRES THAT STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO USE COMPUTERS FOR AT LEAST 25% OF THEIR WORK, COMPLETE ANNUAL STATE CERTIFIED AI TRAINING. HOUSE BILL 223 REQUIRES COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR LOBBYING OVER 100,000 REQUIRES ANY CONTRACT FOR LOBBYING ADVOCACY GROUPS MUST GO THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT PROCESS.

HOUSE BILL 1173 RAISES THE MANDATORY COMPETITIVE BIDDING THRESHOLD FROM $50,000 TO $100,000 FOR MUNICIPAL PURCHASES OR CONTRACTS.

HOUSE BILL 2464 DEFINES NO IMPACT BUSINESSES.

OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES ADDRESSES THIS ALREADY, SO WE ARE IN IN LINE WITH THIS BILL, AS IS.

HOUSE BILL 2844 SIMPLIFIES MOBILE FOOD VENDOR LICENSING ACROSS TEXAS BY CREATING A SINGLE STATEWIDE HEALTH PERMIT EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, 2026. AND THEN HOUSE BILL 5057. SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT LIMITATIONS REQUIRES CITIES TO PUBLISH A PUBLIC NOTICE BEFORE ENTERING OR RENEWING THEIR SOLID WASTE AGREEMENT.

AND THEN SENATE BILL 541 PROHIBITS CITIES FROM REQUIRING PERMITS, FEES, OR INSPECTIONS FOR COMPLIANT COTTAGE FOOD OPERATIONS, WHICH WE DO FALL IN LINE WITH AS WELL. AND LASTLY THE 89TH LEGISLATIVE SPECIAL SESSION, LIKE I MENTIONED, BEGIN JULY 21ST. IT CAN RUN UP TO LAST UP TO 30 DAYS.

THEY COULD CALL A SECOND SPECIAL SESSION JUST DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS.

ONLY THE GOVERNOR CAN CALL A SPECIAL SESSION AND SET THE AGENDA.

THE LEGISLATURE MAY ONLY CONSIDER ITEMS DESIGNATED BY THE GOVERNOR, AND UPDATES WILL BE PROVIDED ONCE THE SESSION CONCLUDES.

WE'LL CONTINUE MONITORING THE SESSION, AND ONCE IT OFFICIALLY CONCLUDES, WE WILL RETURN TO COUNCIL WITH A FOLLOW UP UPDATE ON ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OF LEGISLATION THAT IMPACTS THE CITY OPERATIONS.

THANK YOU, MISTER THATCHER. APPRECIATE THAT PRESENTATION. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. MR. MILLSAP. I GUESS I HAVE MAYBE TWO. ON THE ONE THAT YOU MENTIONED CYBERSECURITY THAT WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO DISCUSS CITY POLICIES IN PUBLIC MEETINGS. DOES IT ALSO STATE THAT WE CAN'T DISCUSS PUBLIC POLICY IN PUBLIC MEETINGS? ARE YOU SAYING IF WE HAVE THE OPTION TO IF WE WANT TO? DO WE NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO DISCUSS IT IF WE SO DECIDE TO MAKE IT PUBLIC INFORMATION? YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION TO DISCUSS IT IN PUBLIC.

THAT JUST GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO DISCUSS IT IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE UP FRONT, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MULTI-STORY HOUSING, THERE A POSSIBILITY OF ALLOWING ONLY ONE STAIRWELL.

DOES THAT HAVE TO BE WIDER THAN THE CURRENT REQUIREMENT TO ALLOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO DO, OR THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A SAFETY PROBLEM. IT GIVES THE CITY THE OPTION TO PUT THAT IN THEIR CODE.

[00:55:02]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MR. THATCHER I APPRECIATE THAT UPDATE. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM F.
