Jun 27, 2022 City Council

HERE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S BRING THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:08]

WELL. OH.

I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE WHAT YOU WOULD LEAD US ON THAT ONE.

MARK. ALL RIGHT.

[WORKSHOP]

SO THE FIRST DEPARTMENT UP TONIGHT'S FIRE.

SO, NATE, IT'S ALL YOURS.

THANK YOU, SIR. MAYOR COUNCIL.

MR. SHANNON, EVERYONE WATCHING AT HOME SINCE MY LAST REPORT TO YOU AS YOUR FIRE CHIEF.

SO LET'S GET STARTED.

HERE'S SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

THIS PHOTO WAS CAPTURED WHILE ON A TIFMAS DEPLOYMENT UP IN THE PANHANDLE.

THIS IS THE SAME DAY THAT OUR CREWS RESPONDED DIRECTLY TO AN ACTIVE FIRE.

THAT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.

IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER IN PERSON, ACCORDING TO MY TEAM THAT WENT SO.

CHIEF BENNETT, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

I ALWAYS LIKE TO START OUT WITH OUR CALL VOLUME BREAKDOWN.

SO THIS IS FROM JANUARY TO CURRENT.

WE'RE AT 1380 CALLS FOR THE YEAR RIGHT NOW ARE INCIDENTS.

THAT'S AN EIGHT INCIDENTS PER DAY.

AND IF WE KEEP THIS SAME PACE UP, WE'LL BE PUSHING 2800 AGAIN THIS YEAR.

LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE DID THAT IN OUR HISTORY AS AN ORGANIZED FIRE DEPARTMENT.

LAST YEAR, AT THE EXACT SAME TIME, WE WERE JUST SHY OF 1300, SO IT'S ABOUT A 7% INCREASE IN YOUR PACKET.

YOU HAVE A HISTORICAL CHART THAT TAKES US FROM 2012 TO 2022, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE CALL VOLUME IS CLIMBING STEADILY, FAIRLY STEADILY, YEAR TO YEAR.

SO FROM APRIL TO NOW, OUR TOTAL CALL VOLUME IS 613.

AND WE'RE WE'RE RIGHT AT THAT 200 MARK PER MONTH IN TERMS OF INCIDENTS AND PLUS OR MINUS A DOZEN OR SO EACH EACH MONTH AS WE TRACK THROUGH STILL A LOT OF RESCUE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL CALLS IN GENERAL.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE STILL HAVE A PRETTY DECENT AMOUNT OF FIRE CALLS.

A FAVORITE SLIDE OF MINE, AS ALWAYS, TO COMPARE THE CITY VERSUS COUNTY.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE TRACKING HIGHER IN THE CITY IN TERMS OF NEED AND CALLS FOR SERVICE, 453 COMPARED TO 160 FOR APRIL TO CURRENT.

AND THIS HAPPENS TO BE A PHOTO OF THE [INAUDIBLE] BAPTIST CHURCH FIRE, WHICH WE PARTICIPATED IN.

WE PROVIDED MUTUAL AID TO THOSE DEPARTMENTS WITH WATER, COOL TOWELS AND A FIRE INSPECTOR WHO ASSISTED THE COUNTY.

AND CHRIS, I THINK IS HERE TONIGHT.

YEP. WHEN WE BREAK DOWN OUR OUT OF CITY CALLS FOR SERVICE.

THAT 160 LOOKS LIKE 81 EMS RUNS AND THEN 79 FIRE RUNS.

AND REMEMBER, I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE, A LOT OF TIMES WE GET CALLED OUT OF THE CITY TO HELP OTHER FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND SOMETIMES WE GET CALLED AND GET TURNED AROUND.

SO A LARGE VOLUME OF THOSE TO INCLUDE A CANCELED IN ROUTE ELEMENT, IF YOU WILL.

A NEW PIECE OF INFORMATION I WANTED TO TOSS IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT IS THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE PAGE.

WE DON'T DO TRANSPORTS.

THAT'S THE AMBULANCES JOB.

BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING HERE, AND WE'VE STARTED TRACKING THIS PRETTY HEAVY THIS YEAR IS THAT NUMBER IN THE BOTTOM, RIGHT, 21.

SO OUT OF 160 CALLS FOR SERVICE, MORE SPECIFICALLY OUT OF 81 EMS INCIDENTS, 21 OF THEM PUT OUR EMTS AND PARAMEDICS ARRIVING AHEAD OF A TRANSPORT AMBULANCE.

SO 21 OR A QUARTER QUARTER OF THE EMS CALLS OUT OF THE CITY.

OUR EMTS AND PARAMEDICS WERE ARRIVING AHEAD OF AN AMBULANCE COMPANY.

THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.

THEY HAVE THE SAME OVERLAPPING CALL VOLUME ISSUES THAT WE DO, AND THAT'S JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE OF A GROWING AREA.

OUR END CITY CALLS FOR SERVICE.

THAT 453 RUNS IS SPLIT BETWEEN 313 EMS AND 145.

AND THEN WE CAN APPLY THAT SAME EMS STATISTIC DOWN THE BOTTOM RIGHT THERE.

OUT OF THE 300 PLUS EMS CALLS, 128 OF THEM PUT OUR EMTS AND PARAMEDICS ON SCENE AHEAD OF A TRANSPORTING AMBULANCE.

THAT'S CERTAINLY AS I PASS EVERYTHING OVER TO CHIEF BENNETT, THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I'LL WANT US TO PAY ATTENTION TO AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW.

[00:05:03]

SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO COMPLEMENT THEIR ABILITY TO KEEP AMBULANCES IN IN THE CITY OF DECATUR MORE EFFECTIVELY, A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENTLY.

SO WE JUST WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT AS WE GROW.

TRAINING TAKES ON A DIFFERENT LOOK THIS TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE WHEN IT'S 105 OUTSIDE, THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS ASK THE MEN AND WOMEN TO GO OUTSIDE AND GET THEMSELVES SPENT WHEN IT'S 105 KNOWING THAT THEY COULD IMMEDIATELY GO TO A RESCUE OR A HOUSE FIRE CALL.

SO WE MOVE THINGS INDOORS.

DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING UP HERE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, THEY'RE WORKING ON THEIR RESCUE SKILL SETS.

WE CALL IT SAVING OUR OWN WHILE THEY USE FIREMAN TOOLS TO RESCUE FIREMEN.

AND THEN WE ALSO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WORKING ON OUR EMT AND PARAMEDIC SKILLS, WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY THE SLIDE THAT SAYS DOCUMENTATION.

THAT'S A HUGE PART OF WHAT WE DO ONCE WE RUN THOSE CALLS.

INTERESTING LITTLE NOTE THERE.

THE FOUR GENTLEMEN UP TOP AND THE CENTER, THEY WENT TO AN INSTRUCTOR COURSE TO OBTAIN THEIR BASIC FIRE INSTRUCTOR CLASS.

THAT, OF COURSE, WAS PAID FOR 100% BY A GRANT FROM THE TEXAS A&M FOREST SERVICE.

YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THAT OUR HYDRANTS HAVE TAKEN ON A NEW LOOK.

WE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GREG HALL AND HIS TEAM IN PUBLIC WORKS, WE'VE STARTED PAINTING HYDRANTS.

GREG'S TEAM STARTED PAINTING HYDRANTS.

THIS FLINT COLOR, FLINT ALUMINUM PAINT IS THAT'S ACTUALLY A BRAND FLINT IT'S EASIER FOR US TO SEE.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT ALLOWS THAT HYDRANTS PAINT COAT TO TO HOLD UP QUITE A BIT LONGER IN THE TEXAS SUN.

TEXAS SUN IS BRUTAL ON EVERYTHING AND FIRE HYDRANT PAINT IS NO EXCEPTION.

SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT BETTER LIFE OUT OF THIS.

AND WHEN IT DOES START TO FADE, IT WILL NOT BE PINK.

IT'LL BE MORE OF A GRAY COLOR.

AND THIS WILL ALSO SET US UP NICELY.

IF YOU LOOK IN THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE SCREEN, IT'LL SET US UP NICELY TO BEGIN COLOR CODING OUR HYDRANTS.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO AS WE START ADDING HYDRANTS, AND WE'LL PROBABLY EXPLAIN THAT IN DETAIL LATER.

BUT THE BASICS ARE THE BLUE IS THE HIGHEST CAPACITY IN TERMS OF GALLONS PER MINUTE, AND THEN IT JUST GOES DOWN FROM THERE.

THAT'S A VALUABLE TOOL FOR OUR FIRE TRUCKS ARRIVING ON SCENE.

THEY KNOW HOW MUCH WATER THEY HAVE OUT OF ANY GIVEN HYDRANT.

IT'S A BIG DEAL IN TERMS OF THAT ON SCENE, THAT 60 TO 90 SECONDS SET UP TIME THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE ARRIVE AT AN INCIDENT.

YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.

YES, MA'AM. AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT GREG TALKS ABOUT AT SOME POINT.

AND ONE OF HIS PRESENTATIONS, THEY DO A COUPLE EACH YEAR, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, AND WE HAVE A LIST OF TROUBLE LOCATIONS THAT DEROY AND GREG ARE ALREADY WORKING THROUGH. AND I SUSPECT THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE AS FUNDS PERMIT.

IT'S A PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE JUST NEED TO CONTINUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK THROUGH THOSE WEAKNESSES IN THE MOST COST EFFICIENT WAY.

GOOD QUESTION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ALONG THOSE LINES? TO BE CLEAR, GREG AND HIS TEAM DO THE BULK OF THE WORK HERE.

WE ONLY NEED THEM WHEN SOMETHING'S BURNING.

A LOT OF PUBLIC EVENTS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

THESE TWO PHOTOS, THE ONE ON THE LEFT, REPRESENTS A JOINT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND THE CITY OF BRIDGEPORT.

THE POLICE CHIEFS ORGANIZED A TRAINING FOR EVERYONE TO ATTEND.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT, THERE IS THE HISTORICAL MARKER DEDICATION AT THE VISITOR'S CENTER.

I WANT TO SAY A QUICK THANK YOU TO OUR HONOR GUARD.

THEY WERE THEY'VE BEEN KEY IN A LOT OF EVENTS.

BUT SPECIFICALLY FRIDAY, THEY HELPED OUT SUBSTANTIALLY WITH CELEBRATING MR. SHANNON'S RETIREMENT.

AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I PUBLICLY THANK THEM.

AND THAT'S THE MOST RECENT CHANGE TO THE HONOR GUARD YOU SEE THERE ON THE RIGHT IS IT'S NOW POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT, HONOR GUARD.

IT MAKES SENSE THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WORK TOGETHER NOT ONLY IN THE STREETS, BUT TO CELEBRATE PEOPLE.

SO. IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR ME.

SO THIS IS MY LAST.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO CHIEF BENNETT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

WE TALK ABOUT SUCCESSION PLANNING.

WHEN I BECAME A DEPUTY CHIEF IN 2018, THERE WAS NO RULEBOOK FOR ME TO FOLLOW COMING INTO THAT POSITION.

I LEANED ON DEROY AND MIKE AT THE TIME AND THEY SHOWED ME THE ROPES AND THEY KIND OF GOT ME UP TO SPEED ON THINGS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DEROY AND I WERE VERY EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO IN 2020 WHEN I CAME ON BOARD AS THE FIRE CHIEF, WAS A PLAN FOR SUCCESSION, WHO DOES WHAT IN THE EVENT OF TRAGEDY.

THAT'S THAT WAS THE BASICS.

HOW DO WE MANAGE THROUGH LOSING ONE OF OUR TEAMMATES?

[00:10:01]

WE HAVE A PLAN.

LET'S USE IT. AND IN THIS SITUATION I GET TO PASS IT ON MINUS THE TRAGEDY PIECE.

SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IT'S AN HONOR TO PASS THE MIC AND THE PRESENTATION OVER TO CHIEF BENNETT, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR.

MAYOR COUNCIL, I BRING TO YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE AND THAT WOULD BE AGE GLASSES AND A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER WAISTLINE, BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU I WON'T BACK DOWN IN SPEED.

AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IS BECOMING THE ACTING CHIEF IN EARLY THIS MONTH.

I WENT TO NATE AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I'M READY TO ROLL, BUT JUST LET YOU KNOW.

NOW I'M MOVING FORWARD.

I'M GOING TO BE READY TO GO JULY ONE AND I AIN'T STOPPED DOWN YET.

MATTER OF FACT, HE EVEN QUIT CALLING ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

SO FIRST, NOT FIRST THING I WANT TO TOUCH ON TONIGHT IS OUR PREVENTION PROGRAM.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS MONTH I'VE BEEN MOST OF THE FIRE CHIEF DUTIES, THE ASSISTANT CHIEF DUTIES AND THE FIRE MARSHAL DUTIES.

BUT I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET OUR PREVENTION CAPTAIN CHRIS MERCER UP TO SPEED SO THAT I CAN WEAN A LITTLE BIT OF THIS OFF TO HIM AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CHIEF'S JOB.

BUT THIS IS HIS ACTIVITIES.

HE'S HAD 42 BUSINESS INSPECTIONS, 32 FOOD TRUCK INSPECTIONS, 79 PLAN REVIEWS COMPLETED, 77 APPROVED, 19 CEOS. WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN 17 STATION TOURS, 19 MEETINGS, NINE SPECIAL EVENTS AND 14 SMOKE ALARM SOLUTIONS.

THAT'S FROM OUR SMOKE ALARM PROGRAM.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE A QUICK NOTE ON THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IN ONE OF MY MEETINGS THAT HAS OCCURRED THIS MONTH WITH STAFF IS I'M HAVING THEM PUT TOGETHER AND CHRIS IS LEADING THAT A PROGRAM WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO ON THE WEEKENDS AND WE'RE GOING TO START HITTING TARGET AREAS TO GET SMOKE DETECTORS DOOR TO DOOR.

AND IN LIGHT OF THE FIRE IN FY21, WE ARE STARTING AT COCONUT AIR TRAILER PARK AND WE'LL HIT EVERY DOOR OVER A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS AND HOPEFULLY WORKING SIDE BY SIDE THE ROTARY CLUB TO DO THAT.

THE NEXT SLIDE HERE IS OUR TIFMAS.

PROGRAM. DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, WE DID DEPLOY WITH TIFMAS.

YEARS PAST, WE WERE INVOLVED WITH THAT KIND OF SLOWED UP BUDGET CONSTRAINTS AND STAFFING.

WE'VE GOTTEN TO GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN START DOING THAT SOME MORE.

DURING THIS DEPLOYMENT, WE SENT THEM OUT.

THEY WERE ON GONE FOR WEEKS WITH ONE OF OUR TRUCKS AND WE SWITCH STAFF OUT EVERY WEEK.

THAT IS A REIMBURSEMENT THAT WE GET BACK FROM FEMA.

IT IS UNDER TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

WE'RE WAITING THAT PAYMENT NOW.

AND NOT ONLY PAYS US IN REGARDS TO THE SALARIES THAT PAID OUT, BUT THEY PAY US FOR OUR EQUIPMENT TO.

AND WHAT WE HOPE IS THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN REPLACEMENT DOWN THE ROAD FOR BUDGET PURPOSES.

NOT TO MENTION THE FACT, THE EXPERIENCE THEY GET OUT OF THESE DEPLOYMENTS AND IT CAN BE HURRICANES, WILD LAND, A NUMBER OF THINGS.

SOMETHING SIMILAR TO CHIEF CAMPBELL MENTIONED ABOUT THE PROGRAM WITH THE DEA AND THE AIRPORT.

SAME THING, GETTING STAFF TRAINED.

SOME UPCOMING EVENTS.

CLEARLY, THIS FRIDAY IS FIREWORKS AT VICTORY.

HOPEFULLY, THAT'S ANOTHER SHOW THAT GOES WITHOUT ISSUES.

I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCERNED WITH THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

WE'RE OKAY THIS WEEK, BUT WE HAD SOME FIRES KICK UP IN PALO ALTO AREA.

I HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT IN A MINUTE.

AND IT'S STILL BURNING HARD THIS MORNING.

I HEARD IT WAS OVER 6000 ACRES.

SO JULY 22ND IS THE MAIN STREET CONCERT BETWEEN US AND PD.

THAT'S USUALLY PRETTY BUSY FOR MANY OF US.

THE FIRST TASK AFTER BEING ACTING IS THE EVERY OTHER YEAR INSPECTION WE TAKE FROM THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON FIRE PROTECTION.

THE NFPA STANDARDS THAT YOU SEE ON THE SIDE IS WHAT WE'RE GRADED ON, AND THEY COME AND ACTUALLY DO PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS.

OUR RECORD KEEPING A NUMBER OF THINGS.

I REACHED OUT TO THE TWO OF THEM TODAY AND ASK THEM.

I SAID, I'D LIKE TO KNOW A PERCENTAGE OF DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE THAT MAKE IT THROUGH THESE WITH NO VIOLATIONS.

WELL, THE CHIEF OF THAT DEPARTMENT IS A FRIEND OF MINE FROM A PREVIOUS RETIREMENT WHO'S ACTUALLY COME IN TO DO MY HEAD OF DEPARTMENT STUFF NEXT WEEK BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DO IT HIMSELF.

[00:15:01]

BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IT'S EXTREMELY LOW AND YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.

SO WE WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT, TO RECEIVE AND GET THROUGH THAT AUDIT AND NO VIOLATIONS NOTED AT ALL.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT'S JUST CLOSING THOUGHTS AND THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY IN OUR SUCCESSION MOVING FORWARD.

I DID A LITTLE MATH TODAY AND THIS IS 32 YEARS BETWEEN VOLUNTEER AND PAID THAT.

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH DECATUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE YEARS OR THE AGE MEAN NOTHING.

I HAVE A VISION.

I SHARE A LOT OF THE VISION.

NATE AND I HAVE BEEN CONNECTED AT THE HIP, AND THAT'S A LITTLE DISHEARTENING BECAUSE I'M AFRAID WE'RE GOING TO SEPARATE JUST A LITTLE.

NOT MUCH, I HOPE.

BUT WE'VE BEEN BEFORE SAID THAT WE TALKED TO EACH OTHER OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS MORE THAN WE DID OUR WIVES.

BUT I WILL PROMISE YOU, MY PHONE IS ALWAYS OPEN, MY DOOR IS OPEN AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

SO ANY QUESTIONS? NOT REALLY A QUESTION, BUT JUST A STATEMENT.

CHIEF BENNETT, WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THANK YOU. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THE PROCESS YOU'VE PUT IN SO THAT THIS IS A SEAMLESS TRANSITION.

AND WE'RE EXCITED WHAT THE CITY HAS IN THE FUTURE FOR ALL OF US.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO BOTH OF YOU ALL AND EVERYBODY.

THAT WAS PART OF IT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT REPORT IS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT.

SO IS DEAD WRONG.

OKAY. IT'S ALL YOURS.

ALL RIGHT. IF THE POWERPOINT COULD BE PUT UP.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND THE THING DEPARTMENT IS FAIRLY BUSY THIS PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WE'VE BEEN A LITTLE SLOW IN TERMS OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS, BUT WE DO THINK THAT THIS IS ONLY MAY.

THIS REPORT IS ON FOR ME.

WE WILL CATCH UP BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, ESPECIALLY GIVEN ALL OF THE CALLS WE'RE RECEIVING, PRE-APPLICATION MEETINGS, ET CETERA. NEXT SLIDE.

THIS JUST SHOWS WHAT OUR.

WHEN AN APPLICATION PASSES IN 2021, IN THIS TIME IN 2022, AND AGAIN, WE'RE SLIGHTLY DOWN, BUT WE DO EXPECT THAT TO CHANGE.

NEXT SLIDE. IN APRIL, WE PROCESSED ONE APPLICATION, WHICH WAS A GOOD PLAN AND A GOOD THING ABOUT OUR APPLICATIONS AND THE PROJECTS THAT WE WORK ON.

YOU GUYS SEE THESE, SO THIS ISN'T ANY SURPRISE.

IT'S JUST A RECAP.

IN THE PROCESS.

THREE APPLICATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO PLAN A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

NEXT SLIDE. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS. LAKESIDE REMAINS BUSY.

THEY DO SUPPORT ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS IN TERMS OF MAPPING, IN TERMS OF DATA.

RIGHT. THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF THE MAPS THAT HE CREATES IN THE DATA SETS.

NEXT SLIDE. WELL, NOW, NEXT SLIDE.

OH. AND HE ALSO PREPARES THE EXHIBITS FOR ALL OF OUR PLANNING APPLICATIONS.

THESE ARE PLANS DESIGNED FOR ZONING CHANGES.

ANNEXATIONS IN LIGHT.

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE, EVEN THOUGH OUR APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND PROCESS WERE DOWN, OUR REVIEWS ARE STILL FAIRLY STEADY.

IN APRIL, WE HAD 31 THAT WERE SOLELY RELATED TO PLANNING, AND THEN IN MAY 18, SLOWLY SOLELY RELATED TO PLANNING.

SO THE PROJECTS MAY NOT COME TO FRUITION IN THE SAME MONTH IN WHICH THE PLAN REVIEWS OCCUR.

NEXT SLIDE. WE DID HAVE SEVERAL PRE-APPLICATION MEETINGS AND THAT'S PICKING UP.

IN APRIL, WE HAD THREE IN IN MAY ONE.

I DO EXPECT A FEW MORE FOR THIS MONTH AND FOR JULY BASED ON CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE HAVING

[00:20:10]

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

WE DO HAVE SOME VACANCIES ON THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT THAT NEED TO BE FILLED.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VACANCY WAS FILLED AND WE DID RECEIVE CURTIS'S FORMAL RESIGNATION IN TERMS OF ZONING AMENDMENTS.

WE DO NEED TO LOOK AT EXPANDING THE REGULATIONS FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.

WE NEED TO EXTEND VOTING PRIVILEGES TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONER.

CHAIRMAN, AMEND OUR ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING AND SEE TO.

FOR ZONING DISTRICTS WITH AN IMPROVED SUP.

AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED IN THE C ONE.

A D CATERS FOR BUSINESS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR ZONING REGULATIONS MATCH THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PLAN.

WE HAVE A FEW I'M SORRY, A FEW APPLICATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW OR THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

AND THAT'S THE PRELIMINARY FINAL PLANS FOR MAIN STREET AND THEN CURRENTLY, WHICH WILL GO TO P&Z IN JULY.

THE REPLAT FOR 905 SOUTH PERRIN STREET.

THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

COMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE REWRITE.

WE DID RECEIVE A DRAFT OUTLINE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT I COMMENTED ON AND RETURNED BACK TO THE CONSULTANTS.

SIGNED ORDINANCE. THE REWRITE IS STILL ON THE WAY.

ATTORNEY, CITY ATTORNEY HEATHER PLANTER, WHO IS ALSO A CITY ATTORNEY, HELPING US WITH THE ORDINANCE.

AND SHE IS WORKING WITH FREDA RIGHT NOW FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT SIGN REGULATIONS.

AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO PUBLIC WORKS ON THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

NEXT SLIDE. SOME PROJECTS THAT WE'VE TALKED TO DEVELOPERS ABOUT INCLUDE ENCOURAGING TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT DOWNTOWN AND ALONG CHARLES STREET.

WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PANS OUT.

ENCOURAGING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG FORTENBERRY ROAD AND DEER PARK ROAD, ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROADS AVENUE APARTMENTS AND THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL ASSISTING IN THE CREATION OF THE MEADOW CREEK PID AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE CHISHOLM TRAIL MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

THEY ARE PROPOSING A PARKING VARIANCE TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

THIS NEXT MONTH WILL BE PROCESSING THAT AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FAST TRACKING OF EDC PROJECTS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NOW JUST WANTED TO COMMENT.

SOME OF THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE ABOUT TO GET TO THE FINISH LINE ARE PRETTY MAJOR IN NATURE AND WILL PROVIDE QUITE THE BOOST IN CONSTRUCTION.

SO HOPEFULLY THOSE ARE REALLY CLOSE TO FRUITION.

YES.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT DEPARTMENT IS INSPECTIONS AND WAYNE SMITH.

WAYNE, IT'S YOURS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL.

BRANT, HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT? UM, SO WE'VE GOT A WAS ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A REPORT.

ON WHERE WE'RE KIND OF AT WITH BUILDING INSPECTIONS RIGHT NOW BASED OFF OF WHERE WE WERE AT LAST YEAR ALSO.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS THAT I HAVE UP HERE WITH OUR PERMITTING, WITH APRIL BEING AT 59 PERMITS ISSUED IN MAY AT 64 FOR A TOTAL IN 2022 OF 247.

THAT'S VERSUS 2021.

WE HAD 184 PERMITS TOTAL.

[00:25:03]

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME MOVEMENT THAT'S GOING ON HERE AND IT'S CONTINUING TO RAMP UP.

AND SO WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO STAY PLENTY BUSY HERE.

THE VALUATIONS HAVE BEEN GREAT THAT HAVE BEEN COMING IN.

THIS 18,429,000 WAS THE 2022 TO DATE.

THAT'S FROM JANUARY 1ST THROUGH MAY 31ST AND THAT'S COMPARED TO 12.2 MILLION IN 2021.

SO IT'S A 50% INCREASE IN VALUATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD THERE.

FEES COLLECTED ON THAT.

THE 2022 NUMBERS HAVE COME IN AT ABOUT 11 AND A HALF PERCENT MORE THAN 2021.

SO THOSE OF COURSE, WHENEVER YOU HAVE THAT BUILDING AND IT STARTS RAMPING UP, IT BRINGS IN MORE FEES ALONG WITH THAT, THE THE INSPECTIONS, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ANOMALY IS HERE.

WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE PERMITS ISSUED AND LARGER PROJECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

BUT I'M SHOWING THAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS THAT WE DID LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME, WHICH AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE WERE AT 600.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT 596.

SO IT'S ABOUT THE SAME WITH THAT.

I THINK THAT THAT NUMBER SHOULD FOLLOW THOSE THOSE PERMIT NUMBERS, AND I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY HAVEN'T, BUT I EXPECT THAT THEY'LL BE GOING UP AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE REST OF THE YEAR. PLAN REVIEWS TO THIS TO DATE, SO FAR WE'VE DONE 106 PLAN REVIEWS ON PERMITS THAT HAVE COME IN.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS PORTION OF THE DIVISION OF OF OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS IS THAT WE'RE BRINGING OUR PLAN REVIEW BACK IN HOUSE. WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON PLAN REVIEW THAT'S NEEDED TO BE SPENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE THOROUGHLY REVIEWED BEFORE THEY GO TO CONSTRUCTION.

I HOLD ALL THOSE CERTIFICATIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PULL THAT BACK IN AND HERE WE'LL BE DOING THE PLAN REVIEWS IN-HOUSE.

AND SO HOPEFULLY I THINK WE'VE HAD A REALLY GOOD TURNAROUND ON OUR PLAN REVIEWS.

THEY'VE BEEN VERY THOROUGH.

I'VE LOOKED THROUGH THEM, BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT THAT MONETARY SAVINGS WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE BACK IN HOUSE.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING.

WITH THAT, WE WILL BE CONTINUING WITH OUR SAFE BUILT INSPECTIONS FOR THE TIME BEING.

I AM TAKING ON SOME OF THAT LOAD IS FOR INSPECTIONS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THEM WHENEVER WE DO THESE PLAN REVIEWS.

THAT COMES AS A PACKAGE DEAL.

IF THEY DID THE PLAN REVIEW, THOSE INSPECTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THAT PLAN REVIEW FEE.

SO IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING OUR FULL VALUE FOR OUR MONEY, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THOSE IN THERE.

WE WILL BE PULLING CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY INSPECTIONS BACK IN HOUSE.

ALL THOSE FINAL INSPECTIONS AND CERTIFICATE OCCUPANCIES WILL BE COMING BACK TO US.

AND THEN IN THE COMING MONTHS, WE'RE GOING TO ACTIVELY SEEK A FULL TIME BUILDING INSPECTOR TO BRING BACK IN HERE WITH THE INCREASED DUTIES AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD AND THE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION THAT WE'VE GOT.

I FEEL THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO BRING IN A FULL TIME INSPECTOR.

WE WILL WE'LL START ADVERTISING FOR THAT IN THE COMING MONTHS AND SEE WHERE WE CAN GO WITH THAT.

ALL RIGHT. SO OUR HEALTH DIVISION.

IN THERE. SOME OF THESE NUMBERS WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT THEM AND TRYING TO GET A GOOD NUMBER, A GOOD IDEA OF WHERE THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING. WE ARE SHOWING THAT WE'VE GOT LARGE AMOUNTS OF INCREASES IN HEALTH INSPECTIONS AND HEALTH RELATED FEES.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE ON THAT.

FOR THE PERMITS ISSUED TO DATE IS 103 LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME IS 58.

AND THEN ON THE FEES COLLECTED IN 2022 15,170 COMPARED TO 7290 LAST YEAR.

SOME OF THAT IS BASED OFF OF WHERE THOSE PERMITS LAND DURING THE YEAR AND WHEN THEY'RE BEING RENEWED FOR ANNUAL PERMITS.

WE ARE ACTUALLY THIRD PARTY IN OUR HEALTH INSPECTIONS AT THIS TIME.

WE DO HAVE JOB POSTINGS OUT THERE FOR OUR HEALTH INSPECTOR.

HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF RESPONSE ON THAT.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF CANDIDATES, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE CERTIFICATIONS THAT THE STATE'S LOOKING FOR FOR THOSE.

[00:30:01]

IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH BUREAU VERITAS.

BUREAU VERITAS HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE, DONE HEALTH INSPECTIONS FOR THE CITY BEFORE.

THEY'RE VERY GOOD.

THEY'VE GOT TEN INSPECTIONS THAT THEY'VE GOT SCHEDULED THIS WEEK THAT THEY'LL BE STARTING ON.

THE THE NUMBERS FOR INSPECTIONS ARE ALSO UP FOR THIS YEAR.

2022 HAS ROUTINE INSPECTIONS AT 90 COMPARED TO 73 FOR 2021.

AND THERE'S NOT ALWAYS A LOT OF COMPLAINT INSPECTIONS.

WE DO HAVE TWO THIS YEAR THAT HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH.

I'VE ACTUALLY GOT TWO ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON, AND THAT'S COMPARED TO NONE THAT WERE COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR OF 2021.

MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS OR INSPECTIONS.

THOSE ARE THOSE.

THOSE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT FALL INTO THAT FROM CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY INSPECTIONS FOR NEW RESTAURANTS TO GREASE TRAP REPORTS FOR EXISTING RESTAURANTS, DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE ARE ACTUALLY DOWN IN THAT NUMBER.

THE ONE A-2 COMPARED TO 233 LAST YEAR.

I WAS LOOKING AT THAT AND IT DID HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH GREASE TRAP INSPECTIONS.

AND SO WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE WHERE THAT SITUATION IS AT AND WHY WE DON'T SEE THAT ON THERE ANYMORE.

I WILL TELL YOU, THE ROUTINE INSPECTIONS WITH OUR OUR NUMBERS THAT ARE UP ON THAT, ALONG WITH THE PERMITS THAT ARE ISSUED, THAT'S REFLECTED WITH THE NUMBER OF TEMPORARY EVENTS THAT WE HAVE HERE.

ALSO, OF COURSE, EVERYBODY KNOWS DECATUR HAS A LOT OF TEMPORARY EVENTS OR SPECIAL EVENTS THAT GO ON.

THEY'VE ALWAYS GOT FOOD THAT'S INVOLVED WITH THOSE, AND SO WE'RE ALWAYS GOING OUT AND DOING THOSE.

WE DO HAVE THE MOBILE FOOD UNIT ORDINANCE THAT'S FULLY IN PLACE NOW AND PEOPLE ARE REALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF FOOD TRUCKS THAT ARE THAT HAVE ANNUAL PERMITS RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT'S A REAL GOOD THING.

THE PERMIT, HEALTH INSPECTIONS ALSO COVERS A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS POOLS AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMITS.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING SOME AUDITING ON THAT TO GET BACK IN LINE WITH WHERE WE NEED TO BE ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

AND I'LL HAVE SOME SOME BETTER NUMBERS FOR FOR YOU ON THOSE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THAT.

OUR NEWEST EXCUSE ME, OUR NEWS DIVISION IS THE CODE ENFORCEMENT ENFORCEMENT DIVISION.

WE BROUGHT CODE ENFORCEMENT BACK INTO THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS IN OCTOBER OF 21.

AND SO WE'VE JUST GOT A FEW MONTHS THAT'S UP AND UNDER US RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF OPEN CASES THAT WERE STARTED.

SO TOTAL TO DATE FOR 2022 62.

OF THOSE 62, WE'VE CLOSED 55 SO FAR.

THIS TIME OF YEAR, A LARGE VOLUME OF WEED AND GRASS CALLS.

AND SO HE'S DEALING WITH THOSE ON A DAILY BASIS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE GOT TO MEET RICK DENNY, WHO'S OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, DOES A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THIS.

IT HAS A VERY GOOD DEMEANOR FOR IT, AND IT IS VERY GOOD ABOUT WORKING WITH PEOPLE TO GET THIS THINGS BACK IN LINE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

OF COURSE, VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE DON'T WANT TO WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO CARRY THIS THROUGH THE COURTS OR ISSUE CITATIONS.

WE WANT TO TRY TO GET THESE PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS THEMSELVES.

AND HE'S GOT A GREAT METHOD FOR DOING THAT AND DOES THAT VERY WELL.

RICK. HE HAS BEEN WORKING AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR POSSIBILITIES ARE FOR NON VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

HE'S GOT THREE OR FOUR PROPERTIES RIGHT NOW THAT HE'S NOT ABLE TO CONTACT THE PROPERTY OWNER THERE.

ABSENTEE PROPERTY OWNERS MAY NOT EVEN BE LIVING ANYMORE, AND SO WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FIND THOSE PEOPLE.

BUT THESE THESE YARDS HAVE GROWN UP.

THEY'RE CREATING A NUISANCE.

AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR POSSIBILITIES ARE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

WE'LL SIT DOWN WITH LEGAL TO VERIFY SOME OF THOSE THINGS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

OUR ORDINANCES HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE.

STATE LAW HAS MOVED ON WITH SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT STATE LAW IS ON THAT, AND WE'RE NOT VIOLATING ANYTHING ON THERE.

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO WORK THROUGH THOSE THINGS.

BUT THIS FALL IS ONE OF THE TIMES THAT WE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT.

AS THE WEEDS AND GRASS SLOW DOWN AND WE CAN START LOOKING SOME OTHER THINGS.

I KNOW THAT RICK HAS BEEN REAL BIG AND HE SAID HE'S GOT A LOT OF JUNK VEHICLES THAT HE'S WANTING TO DO SOMETHING WITH.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ORDINANCE.

[00:35:02]

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE WITH WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT IS WE'VE STARTED WE'VE ALREADY STARTED ACROSS TRAINING PROGRAM.

I'VE TAKEN HIM ALONG ON SOME BUILDING INSPECTIONS AND I'VE WENT WITH HIM ON SOME CODE ENFORCEMENT.

I AM A REGISTERED CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, BUT I'VE BEEN OUT OF THAT FOR A WHILE.

AND AND SO I'M PICKING BACK UP ON THERE.

I'VE DONE THAT FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT I'VE BEEN OUT OF IT FOR A LITTLE BIT.

AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET BACK INTO THAT.

BUT HE'S BEEN WITH ME ON SOME INSPECTIONS.

SO EVEN THIS FALL, WHENEVER WE HAVE A TIME THAT WE HAVE A CATASTROPHE OR A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT OR OR WE JUST BECOME OVERLOADED IN BUILDING INSPECTIONS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WE CAN PULL FROM INTERNALLY TO GET THEM OVER THERE.

AND WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT PROCESS AND WE'LL CONTINUE ON WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT ON MY REPORT.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ON THE SAFE BILL, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH? DO WE PAY THEM OR ARE WE? WHAT'S OUR BUDGET FOR SAFE BILL? HOW MUCH DO WE PAY THEM A YEAR OR HOW MUCH HAVE WE PAID THEM SO FAR THIS YEAR? RIGHT NOW, MY BUDGET LINE ITEM FOR THEM, I LOOKED AT IT THE OTHER DAY.

I WANT TO THINK I'M AT 350,000 FOR THIS YEAR.

THE FULL YEAR OR JUST UP TO THIS POINT IN THIS YEAR? THAT'S JUST UP TO THIS POINT.

THAT'S THAT IS THIS FISCAL YEAR AND THAT IS FROM OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR THOUGH THE NEW INSPECTOR THAT YOU'RE TAKING ON WILL THAT.

WILL WE BE ABLE TO ELIMINATE SAFE BUILT OR AT LEAST PROBABLY HALF THAT OR.

WELL, WE WILL THE LARGEST PORTION OF THAT IS THE PLAN REVIEW PORTION OF IT.

THE INSPECTION PORTION OF IT.

THOSE ARE FAIRLY MINIMAL CHARGES THAT THEY GET IN THERE ON THAT.

BUT THE LARGEST PORTION OF THIS IS PLAN REVIEW, AND WE'RE ALREADY PULLING THAT BACK IN-HOUSE TO DO OUR PLAN REVIEWS HERE.

SO THOSE LARGE BILLS LIKE THAT WON'T WILL BE GOING AWAY.

THERE WAS A THE LAST INVOICE THAT WE GOT FOR MAY WAS $77,000.

AND SO IT'S A PRETTY EXPENSIVE ENDEAVOR, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING THAT.

ARE YOU LOBBYING FOR A BONUS OR.

NO, SIR, NOT AT ALL.

I'M VERY HAPPY WHERE I'M AT.

WAYNE, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK.

WE'VE HEARD NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ALREADY, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DOING SOME AWESOME THINGS OVER IN THE DEPARTMENT.

AND WE JUST WANT TO, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU AND THANKS FOR LOOKING FORWARD.

AND. WELL, I MEAN, I THINK WE GOT A LOT OF GREAT THINGS COMING.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK.

LOVE DECATUR AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WE HAVE A GOOD PLACE HERE.

AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

AND SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I THINK YOU ALL DOING IT.

IN THE LAST REPORT IS PUBLIC WORKS AND AIRPORT.

GREG IT'S ALL YOURS.

MAYOR. COUNCIL CITY MANAGER.

GOOD EVENING. I'M JUST GOING TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND AIRPORT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

I'LL START OFF WITH THE BOND FUNDS.

PROJECT UPDATE UNDER WATER SYSTEM PROJECTS.

FOR THE THOMPSON STREET WATER TOWER.

OF COURSE, CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN AWARDED.

THE CONTRACTS ARE BEING REVIEWED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.

HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE SIGNED SOMETIME THIS WEEK.

SO I TALKED TO ANDREW AT BRETT'S RETIREMENT AND HE'S HOPING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WE CAN HAVE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING.

SO THIS THING'S GOING TO GET STARTED HERE WITHIN A MONTH, I HOPE.

KIND OF BROKE IT DOWN FOR YOU GUYS.

HOW WE HAD THE MONEY SET ASIDE FOR EACH FOR WATER, WASTEWATER AND PARKS IMPROVEMENTS.

SO RIGHT NOW, UNDER THE WATER SYSTEM PROJECTS, WE HAVE A BALANCE OF 930,000 LEFT AFTER AWARDING THE THE WATER TANK PROJECT UNDER THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM PROJECTS.

YOU KNOW, THE WAL-MART SEWER LINE PROJECT.

WE HAD TO AWARD THAT BID TO THE SECOND BIDDER BECAUSE THE FIRST BIDDER COULDN'T GET BONDED.

SO STILL WAITING ON DOCUMENTS FROM THEM TO BE SIGNED.

THAT LEAVES ONCE THAT'S AWARDED.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A BALANCE OF ABOUT 2.8 MILLION, ALMOST $2.9 MILLION LEFT FOR THOSE WASTEWATER PROJECTS, WHICH IS A GAGE LIFT STATION UPGRADE AND FORCED MAIN. AND THEN THE STUDY FOR THE PLANT EXPANSIONS ONCE WE'RE READY FOR THAT.

[00:40:05]

ALMOST $1.6 MILLION FOR PARKS.

REASON I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL THIS.

I WANT TO DELVE INTO I GOT TO GET THIS MONEY SPENT.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN HAVE LEFT ON THIS PD.

SO IT'S A RACE FOR THE MONEY RIGHT NOW.

UM. ANYWAY, NO, THINGS ARE GOING GOOD ON THESE PROJECTS, AND ONCE THEY KICK OFF, IT'LL BE WE'LL BE GOING AND GOING.

SO, LIKE DEDRA REPORTED TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, WE'RE ABOUT 50% COMPLETE AND WE HAVEN'T MET IN A WHILE.

I'VE REACHED OUT TO MARK FROM KIMLEY-HORN AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET GET CRANKED BACK UP ON THAT.

THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A GOOD DRAFT PUT TOGETHER SO WE CAN REVIEW IT AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

AS YOU RECALL, KIMLEY-HORN REPORTED ON THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT STUDIES AND THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT STUDIES.

AND IF YOU REMEMBER, THAT WAS THE BIG TICKET ITEM THERE, ESTIMATING OVER $100 MILLION FOR THOSE TWO ONCE THOSE HAPPENED.

ON AS IT RELATES TO PUBLIC WORKS.

THESE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON THE ROSE AVENUE APARTMENTS, THE ON SITE SANITARY SEWER WORK IS APPROXIMATELY 90% COMPLETE.

I'VE GOT A FEW PICTURES UP THERE FOR YOU.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING HERE AS MUCH AS US AS THEY SHOULD BE HERE LATELY.

AND I THINK THEY'RE KIND OF TRYING TO TIME IT OUT.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUED THEIR BUILDING PERMIT YET.

SO I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO KIND OF GET ALL THIS COORDINATED UP.

SO. AN ALKALINE PROJECT.

THE ONSITE WATER IS ABOUT 90% COMPLETE.

THEY'LL BE STARTING TO LOAD THIS LINE AND GET THEIR TESTING DONE AND GET THAT PUT IN SERVICE.

SO IT'S MOVING ALONG GOOD.

ON OMEGA, THEY'RE STARTING THEY'RE WORKING ON THEIR STORM DRAIN, ON THEIR PROJECT FOR PUBLIC WORKS ITEMS. SO THEY SHOULD BE STARTING SANITARY SEWER, WHICH IS A SMALL AMOUNT.

IT'S BASICALLY THEIR SEWER SERVICE FROM THE BUILDING.

SO IT'S LIKE A HUNDRED FEET OF SEWER LINE, SO THAT WON'T TAKE LONG.

AND THEN THEY'LL BE STARTING ON WATER.

THIS IS A SLIDE YOU GUYS SEE EVERY MONTH.

IT'S GOT ALL OUR WORKHORSES, JUST A SNAPSHOT OF OF OUR MAIN STUFF THAT WE DO IN PUBLIC WORKS.

SO. AGAIN.

THE BAG LEAVES AND GRASS AND THE CHIP BRUSH AND POTHOLE REPAIRS FOR UTILITY BILL AND THE TURN OFF AND LOCKS AND AND THE TURN ONS. YOU CAN SEE THOSE ARE BIG NUMBERS FOR THE GUYS EVERY MONTH.

SO THE WATER QUALITY, THOSE AREN'T NECESSARILY BAD BECAUSE WE HAVE BAD WATER.

WHAT THAT IS TCQ REQUIRES US TO FLUSH THE DEAD END LINES EVERY MONTH.

SO THAT'S US OUT FLUSHING LINES TO KEEP GOOD WATER IN THE SYSTEM.

ON THE HOT MIX PAVING PROJECT.

THE COUNTY HELPED US DO HOLMAN AND LANE STREET AND TRITCHARD AND THOSE TURNED OUT NICE.

I GOT A PICTURE HERE COMING UP ON THAT JULY 11TH, THE STREET DEPARTMENT, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE BLUE STREETS, THOSE CROSS STREETS, THE EAST AND WEST STREETS, WEST PECAN WEST SHOEMAKER, WEST WARD, WEST BRADY AND WEST DANBURY.

SO THAT'LL KIND OF FIX UP THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FROM WHERE WE DID THE WATERLINE PROJECT.

SO. SURE.

CAN YOU? I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON.

HERE WE GO. SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF PICTURES FROM THE WHAT THE COUNTY HELPED US ON.

UM.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. I'LL JUST.

I'LL CONTINUE ON AT THE AIRPORT.

TO DATE, WE'VE SOLD 1446 GALLONS OF FUEL.

NO, I'M SORRY, ALMOST 29,000 GALLONS OF FUEL FOR A TOTAL OF YOU KNOW, WE GET TO $0.05 PER GALLON FOR

[00:45:09]

SO. THE AIRPORT ALSO HELD A FIELD TRIP FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HERE IN DECATUR.

I'LL GO BACK HERE. SO JUST A QUICK PICTURE OF THE STREETS, HOW THEY TURNED OUT, IF YOU HADN'T BEEN DOWN THEM, DRIVE DOWN THEM.

THEY'RE A BIG IMPROVEMENT FROM WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE.

THERE'S AIRPORT NUMBERS.

CONTINUE ON, PLEASE.

THERE'S THE FIELD TRIP THAT CAME OUT TO VISIT THE AIRPORT.

I'D LIKE TO THANK FABIO.

HE DOES A GREAT JOB OF HOSTING THESE THINGS FOR US.

AND JASON AND HEATH ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THESE AT THE AIRPORT FOR ME.

SO THEY DO A GREAT JOB WITH THE KIDS AND THEY REALLY ENJOY IT WHEN THEY GET TO COME OUT.

SO. I'LL LET YOU.

OKAY. THIS IS A GRANT THAT WE HAVE TURNED INTO APPLICATION FOR PARKS.

IT'S A NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN, AND THEY HAVE PARTNERED WITH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF TEXAS.

WHAT THIS IS, IS AN OUTDOOR WORKOUT FACILITY, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO POSSIBLY IF WE CAN GET THIS GRANT, IT'S NOT 100% GRANT, BUT IT'S A $50,000 GRANT TOWARDS THIS PROJECT AT RENSHAW PARK.

KIND OF AS YOU READ, WHEN YOU TURN IN RENSHAW ALL BEHIND THE SIGN, THERE'S AN OPEN AREA IN THE OUTFIELD OF THE SOFTBALL FIELDS.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT AREA.

THIS THING ONLY TAKES LIKE A 40 FOOT BY 40 FOOT AREA, SO IT'S PRETTY COMPACT AND IT'LL BE REAL VISIBLE FROM THE STREET AND FROM 51 AND WE'LL TIED IT INTO OUR WALKING TRAIL AND KIND OF MAKE A SPOT THERE TO WORK OUT.

WE'LL BE REACHING OUT. HEATH HAS ALREADY STARTED REACHING OUT TO THE HOSPITAL.

THEY HAVE SHOWN SOME INTEREST IN WANTING TO HELP WITH THAT COST.

AND WE'LL BE GETTING WITH THE EDC ALSO FOR SOME ASSISTANCE HOPEFULLY AND SEE WHERE WE GO, BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK YET.

SO HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO WE SHOULD BE HEARING SOMETHING ON THIS GRANT.

SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY.

GO TO THE NEXT ONE. OKAY.

AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT IN MAY, THOSE GUYS TREATED 24 MILLION GALLONS IN MAY.

YEAR TO DATE, 112 MILLION GALLONS.

AND AGAIN, THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBER IS THAT ANNUAL AVERAGE FLOW.

WE GO OVER THIS EVERY REPORT.

SO IT DOESN'T CHANGE A LOT.

IT WILL AS WE GROW.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT TAKES A LOT FOR THIS NUMBER TO CHANGE.

IT REALLY DOES. AND A LOT OF THESE BIG PROJECTS, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET BUILT OVERNIGHT.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT 150 HOMES, SUBDIVISIONS, 200 HOMES, WHATEVER, 300.

IT TAKES A WHILE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO GET THERE.

BUT WE KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS EVERY ALL THE TIME.

AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN MAY, WE TREATED BASICALLY 41 MILLION GALLONS YEAR TO DATE, 169 MILLION GALLONS.

SO EVERYTHING'S GOING GOOD OUT THERE.

TONY DOES A GOOD JOB MAKING WATER AND I'M PROUD OF OUR WASTEWATER AND WATER FACILITIES.

THEY'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

WE'LL JUST SEE HOW LONG THEY CAN HOLD UP.

HOLD UP IN SIZE.

SO. NEXT.

THEN IN RAINFALL.

2021 VERSUS 2022 WERE AT A DEFICIT OF 7.05 INCHES.

AND NEXT SLIDE, LAKE IS BASICALLY THREE FOOT LOW, WHICH ISN'T BAD COMPARED, YOU KNOW, BEING THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF RAIN.

SO. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

ARE YOU STILL THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO GET A OVERLAY MACHINE? WE ARE. I THINK I'VE DECIDED THAT IT'LL PAY OFF.

I THINK WE CAN DO MORE SMALLER AREAS.

THE COUNTY IS GREAT TO WORK WITH AND IT'S JUST WE HAVE TO WAIT ON THEM ONE TIME OF YEAR BASICALLY.

AND WITH THEIR SCHEDULE WE CAN BE DOING A LOT OF SMALL AREAS AND ONE OR TWO BLOCKS OR IF WE TEAR SOMETHING UP, WE HAVE JUST A BAD SECTION.

SO I THINK WE CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT.

ANY LUCK FINDING ONE YET OR? I'M SORRY? ANY LUCK ON FINDING ONE? NOT YET. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO RENT ONE HERE IN JULY FOR THOSE CROSS STREETS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

AWESOME. THANK YOU, GREG.

YES, SIR. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES TONIGHT'S REPORTS.

YOU WANT TO GO RIGHT INTO COUNCIL MEETING HERE?

[00:50:04]

WHAT IS IT 6:25? I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN I'M GOING TO LET THE MAYOR READ.

I'M A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

DO YOU. OKAY.

SO CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR RENAMING THE CITY O.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

[1. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR RENAMING THE CITY’S COUNCIL CHAMBERS AS THE “BRETT SHANNON COUNCIL CHAMBERS”; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.]

I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE A RESOLUTION ON THAT.

DO WE WANT TO VOTE ON THAT FIRST AND THEN READ THE RESOLUTION? I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE.

[2. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR AUTHORIZING THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME PREVENTION AUTHORITY AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.]

THAT'S THE ONE YOU STARTED OF THE CITY OF DECATUR AUTHORIZING THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME PREVENTION AUTHORITY, AUXILIARY AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ALL OF YOU SHOULD HAVE COPIES OF THAT RESOLUTION IN THE PACKAGE, TOO.

OTHER THAN WE'VE ALREADY BEEN AWARDED THIS GRANT.

SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF FORMALITIES OF THE PROCESS WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH.

THIS IS AN 80 20% GRANT, SO WE WOULD BE ON THE BOOKS FOR 20% OF IT, A MAX OF $20,000 TO GO TOWARDS THIS.

BASICALLY, WHAT OUR PLAN IS, IS TO IT'S FOR LICENSE PLATE READERS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO PURCHASE A MOBILE LICENSE PLATE READER TRAILER TO WHERE WE CAN MOVE IT AROUND TO CERTAIN STRATEGIC LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CITY.

SO GOOD, RIGHT? WELL, WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR? YES.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 2022-06-12.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION.

WOW. I THINK JAKE AGAIN.

BYE BYE. JUST AGAIN, MY RIGHT EAR.

WHO KNOWS? SO WE HAVE A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN. THAT PASSES.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

[3. CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON AN AGREEMENT AND RELATED DOCUMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND CASALLE, INC., A UTAH CORPORATION, FOR CITY FINANCE SOFTWARE, SUBJECT TO ATTORNEY REVIEW.]

AND IS THAT CASSEL OR CASSEL? CASSEL INCORPORATED UTAH CORPORATION FOR CITY FINANCE SOFTWARE SUBJECT TO ATTORNEY REVIEW OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS OR SO, I GUESS THEY HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWING SOFTWARE COMPANIES FOR NEW SOFTWARE FOR THE CITIES, MAINLY FINANCE, BUT ACROSS THE BOARD A LITTLE BIT

[01:00:10]

YES. GOOD EVENING.

I JUST WANT TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY CITYWIDE NEEDS, YOU KNOW, A FINANCE SOFTWARE, BUT ALSO FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT.

SO IN CONNECTION WITH THAT, WE, YOU KNOW, THE STAFF PREPARED THE RFP AND JENNIFER SUMMERS IS RIGHT HERE.

SHE HELPED US PUT THAT TOGETHER.

AT THE SAME THING WITH PUTTING TOGETHER A COMMITTEE THAT WILL GET THE FEEDBACK FROM EVERY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY ON HOW WE CAN WORK WITH A SOFTWARE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD.

YOU KNOW, OUR SOFTWARE WAS HAS 30 OR 33 YEARS OLD AND WE NO LONGER HAVE IN UPDATES.

SO WE NEEDED THE FEEDBACK NOT ONLY FROM THE COMMITTEE BUT ALSO FROM DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FROM.

SO HERE.

THIS WAS OUR BEST BIDDER AND WE GET EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.

AND COMPARED TO WHAT WE PURCHASED WE HAD PAID IN THE PAST IS VERY COMPARABLE.

I MEAN, IS REALLY CLOSE TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY PAYING, BUT IT'S A NEW SYSTEM.

AND IS THAT WHAT WE NEED, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.

SO IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT.

IT WAS JUST A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF HOURS.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY NEED.

SO ON. I HAVE A QUESTION.

IF I WANT TO PAY MY $81 OF LATE LIBRARY FINES THAT DON HAS BEFORE IT HITS MY CREDIT REPORT, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT.

OH, IT'S NOT IN THE LIBRARY.

YEAH, BUT IS THERE INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN WE COULD WORK SOMETHING? YES. THE FOCUS HERE IS BEING, YOU KNOW, UTILITY BILLING, PAYROLL ACCOUNTS PAYABLE.

WHAT ELSE COURT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS WHERE ALL THE OPERATING IS GOING THROUGH.

SO, I MEAN, THAT'S OUR MAIN FOCUS.

BUT WE KIND OF TOUCH ALMOST EVERYTHING.

AND EVEN WHEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE CAME IN, HE SAID FOR A COUPLE OF THOSE DEMOS AND UNFORTUNATELY NEITHER ONE HAD WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR. SO AGAIN, THIS WAS ALL CITYWIDE WHERE EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO, YOU KNOW, ASK QUESTIONS.

DO YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, HAVE WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? SO UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DIDN'T COVER EVERYTHING.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

WILL IT BE ABLE TO KIND OF BRING OUR WATER BILLING SYSTEM INTO THE 21ST CENTURY? YES, I'VE GOTTEN CALLS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GO ONLINE AND TRANSFER THEIR SERVICES AND HAVING TO PAY A DEPOSIT AGAIN.

SO WILL THAT WORK FOR THEM? YES, EXACTLY. AND THAT'S THE WORKFLOW THAT WE WANT.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST NOT INTERNALLY, BUT EXTERNALLY.

WE WANT TO REACH OUT TO THOSE CUSTOMERS AND TRY TO WORK EVERY SINGLE PIECE THAT WE HAVE TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. THAT'S MUCH NEEDED.

AND I APPRECIATE YOU BEING PROACTIVE AND GETTING THAT DONE.

ARE THERE OTHER CITIES MAYBE CLOSE TO US THAT USE THIS SOFTWARE? YES. YES, THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THEM THAT THEY PUT IT AS A REFERENCES.

SO THEY HAVE SEVERAL CITIES IN TEXAS OUT TO THEM.

OR IS THAT WHAT DID YOU REACH OUT TO THEM AND ASK THEM ABOUT THE SOFTWARE? NO, BUT PERSONALLY, I HAVE WORKED WITH GAZELLE.

OH, OKAY. JENNIFER HAS WORKED WITH GAZELLE AS WELL.

OKAY. YEAH. WE'RE SURPRISED THAT THEY ACTUALLY REFERENCE.

YES. JUST DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER SOFTWARE FIASCO, RIGHT? NO. AND ACTUALLY, WITH THIS I MEAN, FROM THE RAP, THE ATTORNEYS LOOK IT OVER, THEY REVIEW IT.

SO WE WERE LIKE SHOWING SOMETHING THAT IS UPDATED AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

OF COURSE, JV, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THINGS THAT ACCOUNTANTS DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SO THAT WAS REVIEW.

AND THE SAME THING WITH THE CONTRACT ITSELF IS BEING UNDER REVIEW BY THEIR ATTORNEYS.

ATTORNEY MARIE JOHNSON AT MY OFFICE IS REVIEWING IT AND SO SHE'S GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH ANNA I THINK ONCE SO FAR.

SO WE HAVE A FEW MORE OUTSTANDING THINGS AND EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID, COUNCILMAN HAYES.

WE JUST WANT TO COVER OUR BASES FOR THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM WE HAD.

SO IF THIS COULD BE IF YOU SO WISH TO APPROVE IT SUBJECT TO ATTORNEY REVIEW.

[01:05:01]

SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING TONIGHT IS CONSIDER A PROVEN.

PROVEN THE AGREEMENT AND RELATED DOCUMENTS SUBJECT TO THE TO THE LEGAL REVIEW.

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION TONIGHT AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE COST IS PRETTY COMPARABLE FROM THE U.S.

PERSPECTIVE, AND WE'RE ALSO ANTICIPATING THE WORKFLOW TO PROBABLY REDUCE TIME ON.

YES, YEAH.

DUPLICATING EFFORTS TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.

YES. BIG EFFICIENCY GAIN.

YES, DEFINITELY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BY COUNCIL? AND BLESS YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR. THANK GOD.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, PLEASE.

I LOVE THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE TO APPROVE.

THANK YOU, BRETT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THE.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO.

I WOULD LIKE TO. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE.

GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY YOU GOT ME.

OH, OKAY.

YOU GOT IT, MAN.

COME ON. WE GOT IT.

I HAVE FAITH IN YOU.

IT'S MY FIRST TIME. I'M SORRY.

MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH CASTILLE PENDING LEGAL APPROVAL.

THEY WERE PROVING THAT BRETT BRETT'S WRITTEN IT DOWN.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT SOUNDS GOOD.

I SECOND THAT. GOT A GREAT MOTION.

WE'VE GOT A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THIS MOTION SAY AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

HEY, WITH THAT PASSES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

HALTOM CITY. HASLETT KELLER.

RICHLAND HILLS. ROANOAK.

IT'S ALL YOURS. GOOD EVENING.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, SO WE REALLY JUST NEED THE AGREEMENT APPROVED AND ACCEPTED.

WELL, THAT'S SIMPLE.

ANY QUESTIONS? LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND. AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

AND IF ANY, DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[5. CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON A CONTRACT FOR SERVICES BETWEEN CITY OF DECATUR AND BYWATER SOLUTIONS LLC, OF SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA FOR INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF KOHA INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM.]

THIS IS RELATED TO THE CONSORTIUM.

SO YOU DON'T EXPLAIN THIS.

YES. SO THIS CONTRACT IS JUST CHANGING OUR ENTIRE LIBRARY SYSTEM.

WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT BEFORE.

IT'S THE SOFTWARE THAT PEOPLE WILL USE TO CHECK OUT OR, YOU KNOW, WE'LL CHECK PEOPLE OUT.

SO WE DID NOT HAVE GOOD TECH SUPPORT BEFORE, SO WE REALLY NEEDED THAT CHANGEOVER SO THAT WE HAVE GOOD SUPPORT.

IS THAT US TECH SUPPORT? YES. AND THIS DOES YOU SAY THIS DOES TIE IN WITH THE CONSORTIUM AS WELL? IT DOES, YES.

THEY'RE ALL SIGNING THESE.

BOTH OF THEM ARE SIGNING THE SAME AGREEMENTS AND EVERYTHING.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD CONTINUITY THERE.

YES, DEFINITELY.

ALL RIGHT. LIKE ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR, I MOVE WE APPROVE THE CONTRACT FOR SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND BYWATER.

SOLUTIONS OF SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA, FOR INSTALLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

MELINDA ABOUT HAD YOU, WILL.

BUT SECOND BY WILL.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT, THAT PASSES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. YOU.

[6. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING REVISIONS TO THE CITY OF DECATUR’S PERSONNEL POLICIES.]

MARIANNE, IT'S ALL YOURS.

[01:10:06]

I. TECHNOLOGICALLY.

TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED.

SORRY. OKAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WE MAKE A COUPLE OF MINOR CHANGES TO THE PTO SECTION OF OUR PERSONNEL POLICY.

I'VE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE DIRECTORS SAYING THAT IT'S BECOME A STRUGGLE FOR SOME OF THE NEWLY HIRED EMPLOYEES AND SOME OF OUR OTHER EMPLOYEES TO NOT HAVING THE SICK/VACATION TIME.

SO MY PROPOSAL IS THAT WE HAVE A TRANSITION PERIOD TO USE THE ACCRUED SICK TIME THAT WAS THAT WAS ACCRUED BEFORE THE NEW PERSONNEL POLICY AND ALSO TO ALLOW PERSONNEL TO USE PTO AS SOON AS IT'S ACCRUED.

ANY QUESTIONS? I MEAN, I GUESS IT'S ACCRUED.

SO THERE ISN'T REALLY IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GETTING IT PRIOR TO.

RIGHT. IT WOULD JUST BE FOR ONE YEAR TO HAVE A TRANSITION PERIOD.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, IT WOULD REVERT TO THE CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS ONLY BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A YEAR OF PTO ACCRUAL THAT FACTORED IN SICK TIME. AND AS YOU AND YOU SAID THAT THIS WAS A DISCUSSION WITH ALL DEPARTMENT HEADS FOR? AND I HAD FEEDBACK FROM DEPARTMENT HEADS AND I DID DISCUSS WITH SOME OF THEM.

I HAVEN'T WITH EVERY ONE OF THEM.

LOOKING AT DEPARTMENT HEADS.

OKAY. RIGHT.

GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE DO NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE MODIFICATIONS? THIS WAS ADOPTED VIA RESOLUTION.

SO THESE AMENDMENTS WILL ALSO BE VIA RESOLUTION.

SO IF YOU WANT TO APPROVE THEM THAT BE JUST SUBJECT TO US DRAFTING A RESOLUTION REGARDING SAME.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I FEEL AN IMPENDING QUESTION. OKAY.

WHY? I DON'T KNOW.

I'M READY. SO THIS IS NOT FOR NEW EMPLOYEES, THIS IS FOR THE EXISTING EMPLOYEES? WELL, THE PORTION THAT ALLOWS THEM TO USE THE PTO IMMEDIATELY RATHER THAN WAIT SIX MONTHS IS FOR NEW EMPLOYEES.

THERE IS SOME OF IT THAT IS.

YES, BUT THE ACCRUED VACATION TIME WOULD NO LONGER BE FOR NEW EMPLOYEES, THE PART THAT WAS ALREADY ACCRUED BEFORE THE NEW PERSONNEL POLICY WAS ADOPTED. AND WE CHANGED THE PTO.

SO JUST AS A RECOLLECTION FROM, IS THERE A PROBATION PERIOD THAT A PERSON HAS WHILE, FOR NEW HIRES? YES, THE FOR PTO.

THERE WAS A SIX MONTH PROBATION PERIOD.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT DISAPPEAR, SO TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANY OTHER PROBATION OUTSIDE OF THE PTO UTILIZATION? IS THERE OTHER PROBATION PERIODS FOR NEW HIRES? FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION, FOR PROMOTIONS? THERE'S STILL A PROBATIONARY PERIOD.

THAT IMPACTS THOSE THINGS.

MAYOR ALSO NOT TO STEAL YOUR THUNDER.

MARIANNE SOME OF THAT CARRIES THROUGH THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, POLICE AND FIRE HAVE A NEW HIRE PROBATIONARY PERIOD.

I KNOW A FEW OTHER FOLKS HAVE A SIMILAR PROBATIONARY PERIOD WHERE PEOPLE WORK THROUGH VARIOUS TASKS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO THEM AS A NEW EMPLOYEE.

SO THAT WOULD APPLY AND COMPLEMENT THIS.

WHAT I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS CLEAR THE WAY FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF SICK IN THEIR FIRST SIX MONTHS OF HIRE AND THEN ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO FOR EXISTING EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO TIME THEY ALREADY GAINED.

AND RIGHT NOW WE'VE RESTRICTED IT TO CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS ONLY.

YES. AND BE PAID WHAT? AN APPROVAL REQUIREMENT.

FOUR IS THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAD TO APPROVE THE.

YES, THERE IS.

MM HMM. IT STILL BE MONITORED AND NOT.

AND THERE'S A.

THEY WOULD THE DEPARTMENT HEAD WOULD MONITOR WHETHER THEY WOULD WANT THE EMPLOYEE TO TAKE OFF IF IF THERE WERE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT THAT PROHIBITED THAT OR IF SOMEONE WERE ABUSING SICK OR PTO.

THEN THEY COULD ALSO.

HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE EMPLOYEE ABOUT THAT.

[01:15:01]

SO HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THEM? BECAUSE THEY ARE TECHNICALLY A CITY EMPLOYEE AND THEY WOULD HAVE ACCRUED PTO.

WHAT STOPS THEM FROM USING PTO THAT'S NOT A CATASTROPHIC EVENT? . ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS.

ISN'T IT ALSO ACCORDING TO THE ACADEMY RULES THAT THAT THE ACADEMY RULES ARE THAT TO.

THEY DO NOT ALLOW YOU.

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT THEY WILL LOOK AT PER EVENT, AND IF YOU HAVE A DEATH IN THE FAMILY OR SOMETHING, THEY WILL ALLOW THAT.

BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO MISS ANY LENGTH.

THEY WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THE ACADEMY.

AND TO BE HONEST, WE HAVE HAD TWO EMPLOYEES IN THE PAST TOO WHERE THAT HAS HAPPENED.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY CAN NO LONGER BE EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT OR THE CITY.

SO IF THEY WERE TO END EMPLOYMENT DUE TO THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES THERE, WOULD THOSE ACCRUALS BE PAID OR NOT PAID? SICK TIME HAS NEVER BEEN PAID.

IF THEY HAD PTO ACCRUALS, THEN YES, THEY WOULD.

WELL, AFTER SIX MONTHS THEY WOULD BE PAID, SO PROBABLY NOT IN THE CASE OF ACADEMY.

CADETS.

EMILY, DOES THIS RUNNING, DOES THIS BECOME A CONFLICT THE WAY IT'S WORDED? COULD THIS BE DISPUTED BY AN EMPLOYEE? SO I DIDN'T DROP THIS ROBIN CROSS AT MY FIRM'S IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THE LEGAL DRAFTING THAT'S OCCURRED.

SO I HAVEN'T SPENT ANY TIME ON IT.

MARIANNE AND ROBIN WERE WORKING ON THIS TODAY, SO I CAN ASK HER AND GET YOU AN ANSWER VIA EMAIL TOMORROW.

DID THAT COME UP AT ALL IN CONVERSATION? WHICH PART ABOUT A CANDIDATE ATTENDING SCHOOL AND BEING ABLE TO USE A PTO POLICY THAT COULD PUT THE DEPARTMENT AT RISK.

THAT DID NOT COME UP.

BUT SHE DID READ THROUGH IT AND SUGGESTED THAT WE REFER TO AS FAR AS THE CATASTROPHIC SICK TIME THAT WE WOULD REFERENCE OUR OLD POLICY TO COVER THAT PORTION OF IT.

AND IT COVERS ABUSE.

IT COVERS THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE APPROVAL, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT A SICK POLICY NORMALLY DOES.

BUT IT DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS SOMEONE IN ACADEMY.

BUT JUST TRYING TO THINK THROUGH IF YOU ARE AN ACADEMY, THE ONLY YOU REALLY CAN'T TAKE TIME OFF UNLESS THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC EVENT.

AND THEN EVEN IF YOU DO TAKE TIME OFF DUE TO A CATASTROPHIC EVENT, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PASS THE ACADEMY.

THEREFORE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE YOUR EMPLOYMENT.

YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT THEN YOU.

BUT THE ACCRUAL, IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I GUESS I'M STILL KIND OF CONFUSED ABOUT IS THEN.

WITH. THE WAIVING OF THE SIX MONTHS, DOES THAT MEAN ANYBODY'S ALL THAT ACCRUED TIME WOULD STILL BE AVAILABLE TO AT TIME OF TERMINATION? YES, BUT IT IS NOT A PAID BENEFIT.

IF THAT'S PART OF THE QUESTION.

WELL, IF IT'S ACCRUED, WHAT DO YOU WHEN YOU TURN WHEN SOMEBODY TERMS. AS FAR AS SICK TIME WE'VE NEVER HAD PAID OUT FOR SICK TIME.

THIS IS PTO; RIGHT? YEAH RIGHT. PTO, YES WOULD BE.

PTO BEING ACCRUED MUST BE PAID OUT.

YES. AND IS THAT WHAT WE ACTUALLY AFTER SIX MONTHS.

RIGHT. BUT THEY DON'T GET OUT OF ACADEMY FOR 6 TO 9 MONTHS.

[01:20:03]

AND THEN THEY HAVE PTO.

SO WOULD WE WANT THERE TO BE SOMETHING IN THIS TO PROTECT THE CITY? BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT THROUGH ACADEMY, IT'S OUR LOSS.

WE CAN CERTAINLY ADD LANGUAGE IN IF THAT MAKES YOU MORE COMFORTABLE, INSTEAD OF DECIDING IF THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH ON ITS OWN AND GOING BACK AND FORTH.

GUYS, SO I'M PRETTY GOOD WITH THAT.

YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM. NO TAKE.

NO. WELL, I'LL ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE.

LET'S TAKE AN ACTION.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE GOT A QUESTION.

OKAY, SO. WELL, GIVEN THAT IF WE TAKE NO ACTION, THAT WILL.

WELL, AND IF IT GETS ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA, WE'LL REVIEW IT AT THAT TIME.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

THANK YOU. ITEM SEVEN IS A CONSENT AGENDA.

THERE ARE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR ITEMS ON TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA.

AND AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN PULL ANY OF THESE OFF AND ACT ON THEM SEPARATELY OR YOU CAN ACT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AS A WHOLE.

ITEM A IS EXTENDING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE CITY AND MS. KATHLEEN ASHLEY FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 206 WORKMAN AND SITUATED THE JB WILLIAM SURVEY ITEM B IS EXTENDING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND DOUBLECLICK CAPITAL FOR THEIR PROPERTY AT SOUTH COLLEGE AND WEST OF 287.

ITEM C IS CONSIDER TAKE ACTION ON APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.

THE MEETING HELD JUNE 13TH AND ITEM FOUR IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A REQUEST OF THE DECATUR MAIN STREET TO CLOSE MARKET STREET AND TRINITY STREET FOR THE RESTAURANT AND TRINITY STREET COFFEE BAR BARBECUE ON SATURDAY, JULY THE NINTH.

2022 FROM 6 P.M.

TO 9 P.M.

I'M ASSUMING YOU DIDN'T FIND ANY PAPERWORK ON THESE TWO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, SO THIS WAS JUST.

YES. AND SO FOR ALL INTENTS.

MS. ASHLEY IS STILL WITH US.

SO THEY HAD ASKED US AT THE TIME THAT IF WE COULD THAT THEY WOULD ANNEX, I THINK, WHENEVER SHE PASSED.

BUT SHE IS STILL WITH US.

SO AND THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH MARK AND THE DEVIL CREEK, BOTH OF THOSE THOSE ANNEXATIONS JUST WENT ON FOR FIRST READINGS.

AND SO THOSE ANNEXATIONS WEREN'T APPROVED.

AND SO FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, IT JUST TAKES COUNCIL ACTION TO EXTEND THOSE.

WE DON'T HAVE TO SEEK MUTUAL AGREEMENT, BUT PAPERING IT UP ALLOWS US TO PUT IT IN THE LAND RECORDS, WHICH IS BENEFICIAL FOR US.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING IT ON YOUR CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT.

VERY GOOD. SO WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS CONSENT AGENDA AS WRITTEN.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.

OPPOSED SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT.

AND THAT PASSES. BUT WE'RE GETTING NEAR THE END.

ALL RIGHT. WE SURE ARE.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS COUNCIL TO HEAR PUBLIC INPUT.

SUSIE, DID ANYBODY SIGN UP TO GIVE PUBLIC INPUT TONIGHT? NO, SIR. WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP.

OH, I LOVE THIS ONE.

COUNCIL MEMBER REQUEST FOR A FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS TALK TONIGHT, AND THAT'S ALL THE ITEMS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

WE'LL ADJOURN AT 6:56.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU, BRETT. YES, THANK YOU, BRETT.

OH.
