[2. PRESENTATION AND RECOGNITION BY RETIRED CHIEF MONTY STANLEY OF THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEF’S ASSOCIATION ACCREDITATION PROGRAM TO THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THE 5TH TIME AS AN ACCREDITED AGENCY.]

[00:10:07]

EXCUSE ME. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, COUNCIL, BEFORE I GET MR. STANLEY UP HERE, I WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT MONTE FOR JUST A SECOND.

SO, MONTE IS ONE OF THE STAPLES OF THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.

MONTE IS DEDICATED JUST A LITTLE OVER 50 YEARS NOW TO LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND HE IS SET TO RETIRE AT THE END OF JUNE OR 1ST OF JUNE, I BELIEVE.

AND IT WAS VERY PURPOSEFUL OF ME HAVING MONTE COME UP TONIGHT AND TO PRESENT OUR FIFTH RECOGNITION THROUGH THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.

MONTE HAS BEEN SOMEONE WHO ME PERSONALLY, I RESPECT A LOT.

MONTE TRAINED ME AS A LEAD ASSESSOR FOR THE POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION.

AND I THINK THE WORLD OF MONTE. I THINK A WORLD OF THE THINGS THAT HE HAS DONE IN HIS 50 YEAR CAREER IN BETTERING LAW ENFORCEMENT.

AND BECAUSE OF A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HE BELIEVES IN AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT HE HAS PUT INTO THIS PROGRAM.

WE ARE VERY PROUD TO BE A RECOGNIZED AGENCY. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO INTRODUCE RETIRED CHIEF MONTE STANLEY.

OH. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER AND MEMBERS OF THE DECATUR COMMUNITY.

MY NAME IS MONTY STANLEY. I AM CURRENTLY THE COMPLIANCE COORDINATOR FOR THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS BEST PRACTICES PROGRAM, AND I'M HONORED TO BE HERE THIS EVENING AND TO REPRESENT THE TPCA ACCREDITATION COMMITTEE.

THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION IS MADE UP OF OVER ABOUT 1100 POLICE CHIEFS ACROSS THE STATE WHO ARE DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE DELIVERY OF QUALITY POLICE SERVICE LIKE THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT DECATUR PD WITH A CERTIFICATE OF RE-ACCREDITATION FOR CONTINUING TO MAINTAIN THAT LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE WITH OUR BEST PRACTICES PROGRAM. SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS CREATED THIS PROGRAM, AND YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS AS THEY STAND WITH UNIVERSITIES AND HOSPITALS AND DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ALL THE PROGRAMS, INCLUDING OURS, ARE PROFESSIONAL OF PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE AND REQUIRE PROOF OF COMPLIANCE WITH A SET OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS.

OUR STANDARDS ARE 173, AND THEY'RE SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT STANDARDS IN SOME CASES.

THEY'RE BASED ON TEXAS LAW, TEXAS COURT DECISIONS AND CONTEMPORARY BEST PRACTICES.

THEY ADDRESS THE FULL RANGE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY COVER, THERE'S 12 CHAPTERS AND THEY'RE ALL DIVIDED UP, BUT THEY COVER THINGS LIKE USE OF FORCE, PROTECTION OF CITIZENS RIGHTS, VEHICLE PURSUITS, INTERNAL AFFAIRS, PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT, PATROL AND INVESTIGATIVE OPERATIONS. NOW, APPROXIMATELY 16 YEARS AGO, THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FIRST ATTAINED ACCREDITED STATUS WITH TPCA, AND THEY HAD TO CONDUCT A COMPLETE AUDIT WITHIN THEIR DEPARTMENT, GOING THROUGH ALL THEIR POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND OPERATIONS AND MATCHING THEM AGAINST THE STANDARDS.

AND THEN WE COME IN AND WE SPEND TIME MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE CORRECT.

SINCE THAT TIME, THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO BE INVOLVED.

THEY SUBMIT ANNUAL REPORTS TO US, AND WE CHECK THOSE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE MAINTAINING THINGS.

WE COME BACK EVERY FOUR YEARS AND DO AN ON SITE INSPECTION AGAIN.

AND THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED, CONTINUED TO PROVIDE THE CITIZENS HERE WITH PROPER AND EFFECTIVE POLICE SERVICE.

IN DECEMBER OF 2024, TRAINED ASSESSORS FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE SPENT TWO DAYS ASSESSING THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THEY INTERVIEWED STAFF AND LINE PERSONNEL, INSPECTED FACILITIES, INSPECTED OPERATIONS, MET WITH FIELD OFFICERS, AND ENSURED COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE STANDARDS THEN THE REPORTS CREATED.

IT GOES TO THE ACCREDITATION COMMITTEE, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF NINE ACTIVE POLICE CHIEFS WITHIN THE STATE WHO REVIEW THE REPORT AND THEY VOTE TO AWARD ACCREDITED STATUS. AND THE VOTE FOR DECATUR, BY THE WAY, WAS UNANIMOUS.

[00:15:06]

SO THAT TELLS YOU THAT YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE STATE.

AND THIS EVENING, WE'RE GOING TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR ITS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.

BUT YOU'RE SITTING THERE, OKAY THAT'S FINE. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE COMMUNITY? AND WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS CONTINUALLY STRIVING FOR PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE, AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO SINCE 2008.

IT MEANS THE DEPARTMENT HAS ONCE AGAIN PROVEN IT MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE BEST PRACTICES.

AND THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO REFLECT THAT THE CURRENT BEST PRACTICES OF TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT IS FULFILLED IN THEIR OPERATIONS.

WHILE THE CERTIFICATE THAT WE PRESENT THIS EVENING IS CLEARLY A MARK OF THE PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE, THE REAL VALUE IN THE PROGRAM IS THE PROCESS THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO OBTAIN IT AND MAINTAIN IT.

AND OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE PROCESS.

THEY'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SUBMIT THE ANNUAL REPORTS.

THEY'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK, OR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK IN FOUR YEARS, AND THEY WON'T BE HAPPY TO SEE US, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AGAIN.

BUT SO THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS A LEADER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN TEXAS, AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

AND, CHIEF CAMPBELL, IF YOU WOULD. AND MR. MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER, IF YOU WANT TO STAND UP HERE YOU CAN.

OTHER THAN THE CONTENT OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE EVALUATING THAT REQUIRES THAT.

SO THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. SO THIS CERTIFICATE.

THIS CERTIFICATE SAYS THAT THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION INCORPORATED.

TO ALL THAT SEETHE CERTIFICATE KNOW THAT THE DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, HAVING FULFILLED THE NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS AND MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT BEST PRACTICES ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.

WE SHOULD HAVE HAD A SHORTER NAME, SHOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, BY VOLUNTARILY PROVING THAT THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT BEST PRACTICES, THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DOES HEREBY AWARD THIS CERTIFICATE OF ACCREDITATION, EFFECTIVE THE 12TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2025 THROUGH 2029.

AND IT'S SIGNED BY THE ACCREDITATION COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN AND THE FOUNDATION BOARD CHAIRPERSON.

AND THEY HAVE A LITTLE PLAQUE AT THE BOTTOM THAT SAYS ACCREDITED AGENCY SINCE 2008.

VERY NICE. SO THERE YOU GO. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

OKAY. ONE, TWO, THREE. I THINK IT LOOKS. AWESOME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR.

WE APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. AND BEST WISHES.

NO. THAT'S OKAY. I KNOW. AND I WOULD HATE TO LEAVE OUT CAPTAIN GASTINEAU AS OUR PROGRAM MANAGER, WHO OVERSEES THE ENTIRE ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.

SO, IT FALLS ON CAPTAIN GASTINEAU EVERY DAY TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE STANDARDS OF THE BEST PRACTICE PROGRAM.

BUT THEN FROM THERE, IT REALLY TRICKLES DOWN TO THE OTHER GUYS AS WELL, FROM COMMAND STAFF TO PATROL TO OUR FIRST LINE SUPERVISORS.

SO KUDOS TO ALL OF THEM FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE FOR US.

AGAIN, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'RE ALL VERY PROUD THAT OUR DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS CHOSEN TO GET AN ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.

THOSE ARE NOT EASY TO FULFILL. AND JUST LIKE CHIEF CAMPBELL WAS SAYING, IT'S A 24 OVER SEVEN PROCESS AND IT REQUIRES EVERY STAFF MEMBER TO BE INVOLVED WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S GREAT WORK. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOU ALL.

[00:20:03]

ITEM NINE, CONSIDER TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS,

[9. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS AND ROYAL AUCTION GROUP, INC. FOR GOVERNMENT SURPLUS AUCTION SERVICES.]

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ITEM NINE IS A CONTRACT FOR THE CITY TO ENTER IN WITH ROYAL AUCTION GROUP.

WE HAVE VARIOUS PIECES OF BROKEN DOWN FURNITURE, HEAVY EQUIPMENT CERTAIN ELECTRONICS, THINGS THAT JUST ARE KIND OF END OF LIFE.

AND THEY'RE SITTING AROUND OCCUPYING RANDOM SPACES AND SEVERAL OF THE DEPARTMENTS.

SO GREG HALL, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ENTERED INTO COMMUNICATION WITH ROYAL.

AND THE ASK TONIGHT IS TO ALLOW US TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THEIR SERVICES TO RID OURSELVES OF THE CLUTTER THAT WOULD BE JUST SURPLUS ITEMS AND THERE IS NO COST. YOU'LL SEE THAT ON LINE TWO OF THE AGREEMENT, WHICH I BELIEVE IS ON PAGE 55.

THERE'S NO COST TO THE MUNICIPALITY UNTIL THE ITEMS ARE SOLD, AND THEN THE BUYER PAYS A FEE TO ROYAL.

THAT'S HOW THEY RECEIVE THEIR COMPENSATION. THIS IS A SIMPLE AGREEMENT.

LEGAL HAS VALIDATED IT. WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR YOUR PERMISSION TO ENTER.

[00:30:01]

WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND ROYAL AUCTION GROUP FOR GOVERNMENT SURPLUS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES ITEM TEN.

[10. CONSIDER FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE 2025 ANNUAL SERVICE PLAN UPDATE FOR THE VISTA PARK PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 INCLUDING THE COLLECTION OF THE 2025 ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS. ORDINANCE 2025-03-15]

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ITEM TEN IS AROUND THE SERVICE PLAN FOR VISTA PARK, AND WE'RE GOING TO INVITE MARY PETTY OF P3 WORKS, WHO'S STANDING BY ONLINE TO HELP WALK THROUGH THAT.

AND ALSO HERE IN PERSON, JORDAN SAWYER REPRESENTING NORTON ROSE & FULBRIGHT.

SO MARY AND OR JORDAN WILL TURN THAT OVER TO YOU.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MARY PETTY WITH P3 WORKS. WE ARE YOUR PID ADMINISTRATOR.

THE PID WAS CREATED APPROPRIATELY UNDER CHAPTER 372 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND REQUIRES AN ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN UPDATE.

THAT UPDATE IS DONE EVERY YEAR. IT INCLUDES UPDATES RELATIVE TO ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN PLATTED, ANY NEW TAX IDS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE DISTRICT BECAUSE OF THE PLANNING PROCESS, BUT ALSO ANY BUDGET CHANGES THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN BY THE DEVELOPER. IT DOES NOT CHANGE AT ALL THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE OUTSTANDING.

NOR DOES IT CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS THAT WERE ALLOCATED TO EACH OF THE PARCELS.

NOW, IN THIS SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN UPDATE, THERE WAS A MODIFICATION AND THERE WAS A REDUCTION IN THE TRAILING REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION, WHICH IS A PORTION OF THE ASSESSMENTS, SO YOU DO SEE A REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL ASSESSMENTS PER LOT.

AND SO THAT WAS DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LANDOWNER, THE BUILDER AND YOUR BOND COUNSEL AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS AND US WALKING THROUGH THAT ENTIRE PROCESS, MAKING SURE IT WAS DOCUMENTED CORRECTLY.

AND SO THERE WILL BE A LATER AMENDMENT TO AN AGREEMENT THAT IS PART OF THAT REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION, HOW THOSE DOLLARS GET REIMBURSED TO THE DEVELOPER.

IT DOES NOT IMPACT THE OUTSTANDING BONDS. THOSE ASSESSMENTS ARE STILL ON THE PROPERTY.

AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS AN UPDATE THAT REFLECTS THE NORMAL ANNUAL UPDATE.

IT HAS THIS ONE COMPONENT TIED TO WHAT IS AN AGREED TO REDUCTION OF THAT REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION TO THE DEVELOPER, AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU APPROVE THIS ON THE FIRST READING.

IT DOES NEED THE SECOND READING IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE, AND THEN IT WILL BE FILED IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS, WHICH IS ALSO COMPLIANT WITH VARIOUS STATUTE REQUIREMENTS.

AND THEN THAT ASSESSMENT ROLE WILL BE FINALIZED AND SENT TO THE COUNTY TO BE PLACED ON THE PROPERTY TAX ROLLS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1ST.

SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. AND THEN JUST PROCEDURALLY, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE VOTED ON, ON THIS APPROVAL? OR ARE WE JUST, THIS IS OUR FIRST READING.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST READING. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CONVENE A MEETING AFTER THE CLOSE OF THIS MEETING, AND WE'LL HAVE THE SECOND READING AND ADOPTION, AND THEN THERE WILL BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IF YOU SO APPROVE. GOTCHA. BUT NO ACTION FOR THIS.

NO ACTION RIGHT NOW. JUST A READING ON THIS ITEM TEN.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL REGARDING TEN? QUESTIONS? THAT SEEMS MORE LIKE A COMMENT THAN A QUESTION, BUT HEARING NONE

[11. CONSENT AGENDA – ALL CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS LISTED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND WILL BE RECOMMENDED IN ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS A COUNCIL MEMBER SO REQUESTS, IN WHICH EVENT THE ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED IN ITS NORMAL SEQUENCE ON THE AGENDA. ]

I KNOW THAT WE WILL BE PULLING ITEM A FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WISH TO PULL ANY OTHER ITEMS FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? AND IF NOT, WE'LL GO FOR A MOTION. LOOK FOR A MOTION.
