OKAY, NEXT ITEM WOULD BE THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2022.
AND, UH, MS. KNOX PASSES HER APOLOGIES
[00:20:01]
FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO BE HERE.UH, HER PART WILL BE PLAYED BY ME.
I KNOW I'M NOT AS, UH, AS ATTRACTIVE, BUT IT'LL BE OKAY.
UH, AS WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, OUR REVENUES FROM THE PAST TWO YEARS OF COVID YEARS WAS ARTIFICIALLY INFLATED THROUGH ALL THE APA MONEY.
AND THAT'S REFLECTED IN THE NEARLY 3.8 MILLION DECREASE IN MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR.
SO, UH, WE GOT ABOUT 2.8 IN APA PLUS THE CRF FUNDS.
THOSE HAVE GONE AWAY NOW, SO WE'RE BACK TO LIVING WITHIN OUR OWN MEANS WITHOUT THE FEDERAL DOLLARS.
LOOKING AT EXPENDITURES, WE ARE ON PACE, UH, TO FINISH EVERYWHERE.
AND I WOULD ALSO NOTE THESE ARE ALL PRELIMINARY NUMBERS.
WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TRUE UP WHEN IT COMES, COMES TO PROJECTS.
WE'RE STILL WAITING ON SOME BILLING TO COME IN, UH, FOR A COUPLE OF ITEMS. AND WE'RE ALSO STILL WAITING ON DELIVERY FOR A COUPLE OF VEHICLES THAT WERE PURCHASED IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR THAT WE MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT SEE THIS FISCAL YEAR DEPENDING ON PARTS.
UH, WE ALSO, UH, FINISHED VERY HEALTHY, UH, ON THE CASH FRONT.
AND THAT'S DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FINISH AS MANY PROJECTS AS WE HAD SLATED.
UH, WE DID, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO PUT THE ORDERS IN ON SOME FIRE EQUIPMENT AND A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL PIECES OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT.
UNFORTUNATELY WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THOSE IN.
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THOSE ARE COMING.
UH, WE DO REFLECT THE CHANGE IN THE THREE 80 AGREEMENT, ALTHOUGH THOSE FUNDS HAVE NOT BEEN PAID YET.
UH, AND THEN WE ALSO HAD SOME PROJECTS IN THE EDC FINALLY COME TO FRUITION.
UH, THE LAND SALE, UH, FIRE STATION ONE REPAIRS AND SOME THREE 80 RETIREMENT, UH, SIDEWALK PROJECTS ARE ON PACE.
UH, WE ACTUALLY ARE, WERE WITH THE CITY CONTRACTED WITH OUR CONTRACTOR.
WE FINISHED WELL BELOW WHAT WE EXPECTED IN TERMS OF EXPENDITURE, WHICH MEANS THERE'S MORE MONEY IN THE TILL FOR FUTURE PROJECTS GOING FORWARD.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
UH, AND THEN, UH, AS NOTED IN THE, IN THE, UH, CASH ANALYSIS FOR THE ENTERPRISE FUNNEL RATE INCREASES DUE, UH, WE DO HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS ON THE REVENUES RELATED TO SALES TAX YEAR OVER YEAR.
WE'RE AT ABOUT 13% UP 12.9, UH, WHICH IS VERY, VERY GOOD COMPARED TO THE PRE COVID AVERAGE.
SO WE HAD AN, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A WEIRD, A WEIRD YEAR OR A WEIRD YEAR AND A HALF, UH, FROM 2020 TO 20 GOING INTO 2021.
SO WE TOOK A LOOK BACK AT THE FIVE YEARS BEFORE AND WE'RE UP ALMOST 24%, UH, COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE PRE COVID.
AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH, UH, THE LOCAL COMMERCIAL GROWTH.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MOM AND POP RETAIL STARTUPS.
WE'VE GOT OLLIES THAT CAME IN.
BUT A LOT OF IT IS ALSO DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE STATE CHANGED RULES ON DISPOSITION OF SALES TAX TO POINT OF DELIVERY FROM POINT OF SALE, WHICH HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD TO US.
SO, UH, WE ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO SHOP LOCAL AND SHOPPING LOCAL NOW MEANS SHOPPING ON THE INTERNET AS WELL.
UH, WITH THAT UNDER THE CAPITAL PROJECTS IS LAID OUT, WE ARE WOEFULLY BEHIND ON WHAT WE ACTUALLY TRIED TO, WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR AND WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET DONE IN THE YEAR.
BUT A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH SUPPLY DEMAND, SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES IN PARTS.
SO, UH, WITH THAT I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS AND WE WILL HAVE MORE DETAIL AND A FINAL, FINAL TRUE UP ON THE 2322 NUMBERS, HOPEFULLY AT THE FIRST MEETING IN DECEMBER ONCE WE GET THOSE REMAINING INVOICES IN ON THE PROJECTS.
OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENT KINDA EARLY OF THE YEAR ANYWAY.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE TO OUT OF B AND IT WILL BE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 54 20 22.
AND IT WOULD BE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF TEXAS APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND RANDALL SCOTT ARCHITECTS FOR THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES NEEDS ASSESSMENT RELATED TO A FUTURE POLICE JUSTICE FACILITY.
WHEREAS THE CURRENT FACILITY USED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS RAPIDLY, RAPIDLY AGING AND HAS ALREADY REACHED A POINT THAT REQUIRED THE INITIATION OF PLANNING FOR A REPLACEMENT.
AND WHEREAS ROUND SCOTT ARCHITECTS AMONG HIGHLY, HIGHLY REGARDED AND RECOMMENDED FIRMS SPECIALIZING IN POLICE AND JAIL FACILITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WHEREAS THE CITY WISHES TO AVAIL THEMSELVES HAVE SAID SERVICES NOW THEREFORE BE RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY INCLUDE TEXAS HEREBY APPROVES THE PROPOSED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH RANDALL SCOTT ARCHITECT FOR THE PROVISION THE FACILITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT RELATED TO A FUTURE POLICE JUSTICE FACILITY AS ATTACHED.
FURTHER, THIS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZES THE MAYOR'S SIGNATURE FOR THIS AGREEMENT PATH ADOPTED THIS 10TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2022.
AND IT WOULD BE APPROVED BY MYSELF AND AST TESTED BY ROSIE POINT AT CITY CLERK.
YOU CARE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 54 20 22.
[00:25:02]
THIS IS JUST TO JUST START LOOKING AT WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE.CORRECT? SO THIS IS YES, WE, OR CHIEF IF YOU WANNA EXPLAIN.
SO, SO THIS IS BASICALLY A NEEDS ASSESSMENT ONLY.
THIS IS NOT HIRING THEM TO ARCHITECT TO, TO COME ANYTHING THIS WHO IS LOOKING AT SITE LOCATIONS, POTENTIAL OF A NEW BUILDING VERSUS REPURPOSING WHAT ALL WE WOULD NEED AS FAR AS ROOM, SPACE, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
AND I MEAN, REALISTICALLY THIS IS JUST GETTING THE BALL ROLLING.
WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING, IF WE START TONIGHT, WE MIGHT MOVE IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.
SO THIS IS JUST GETTING THAT FIRST STEP OF FIGURING OUT WHAT WE NEED BEFORE WE MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP.
YEAH, THIS IS, THIS IS KIND OF SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT.
IF RICHWOOD DON'T BUILD A SEWER PLANT, WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT.
WE'RE, WE'RE AT A PLACE NOW WHERE THIS BUILDING IS IN NEED OF A EITHER A MAJOR INNOVATION, EXPANSION OR REPLACEMENT.
AND SO THIS IS GONNA HELP US MAKE THAT DECISION.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO FORWARD? HOW MUCH SPACE DO WE ACTUALLY NEED? AND TAKING A LOOK AT THAT NOW, THEY HAD, UH, WHEN WE NEGOTIATED THIS AGREEMENT, UH, THEY HAD TALKED ABOUT A THREE DEGREE RENDERING.
WE DID NOT WANT TO GET TO THAT FAR, THAT POINT IN THE PROCESS.
THIS IS TO KIND OF SYSTEMATICALLY LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
AND THEN CHIEF IS GONNA ATTEND TO CONFERENCE.
IS IT? I I'M, I'M SIGNED UP TO GO TO A, UM, STATION DESIGN CONFERENCE IN MAY TO HELP.
AND WHAT THAT WILL DO IS NOT ONLY HELP TEACH ME HOW TO WORK WITH ARCHITECTS AND, AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO, UM, YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL WE NEED FOR DEPARTMENTS, BUT ALSO THIS IS GONNA BE BIG ENOUGH.
WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A BOND ELECTION.
SO THIS WILL HELP ME IN HELPING SELL IT TO OUR COMMUNITY AND, AND GETTING THAT INFORMATION KIND OF, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL SIDES OF WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE FOR A NEW, UH, FACILITY.
HOW MUCH IS THIS ASSESSMENT GONNA COST? SO I THINK THE CONTRACT LAYS OUT A TOTAL FEE 32.
AND WE HAVE BUDGETED 40, UH, FOR THE PROCESS, UH, IN LINE IN THE PD BUDGET UNDER, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE CODE.
I WAS IN THAT BUILDING AS A CITY COUNCILMAN.
SO I'M I'M FOR ANY KIND OF IMPROVEMENT.
YEAH, IT DEFINITELY DOES NEED, YOU'RE MAKING THE MOTION.
MAKING THE MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 54 NATIONAL E 42.
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN AGUILAR.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST HAD A QUESTION.
SO THERE'S A CHANCE THAT IT MAY NOT EVEN BE ON THE SAME PIECE OF LAND.
THEY COULD LIKE START GETTING INTO THIS AND GO, WE NEED A BIGGER PIECE OF LAND FOR WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED.
AND AND WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TALKING TO THEM TO KIND OF LOOK, THEY, THEY GOT OUR INITIAL, AND YOU'LL SEE, UH, IN THAT TO WHERE ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO REPURPOSE THE OLD SAFEWAY? WELL SINCE THEN THEY'VE STARTED ACTUALLY DOING WORK OVER THERE.
SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH OFF THE TABLE.
BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA, NOTHING IS OFF THE TABLE IF IT TALKS ABOUT A BRAND NEW BUILDING OR TAKING SOMETHING, REPURPOSING IT, THAT'S SOMETHING IN GOOD CONDITION, REPURPOSING IT THAT WOULD SERVE, YOU KNOW, SO YES MA'AM.
IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE HERE, IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.
OH, THIS IS GONNA BE KIND IN AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE, THE GROWTH, THE, THE GROWTH PATTERN OF THE CITY WHERE THE CITY CAN GO.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH LANDLOCKED AS FAR AS AS THE CITY GOES.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, A LOT OF WHAT'S GONNA BE DEVELOPED IN THE CITY OF CLETE FROM FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS WILL BE REDEVELOPMENT INSTEAD OF NEW DEVELOPMENT MOST LIKELY.
UH, THERE'S STILL A, A FEW PIECES, BUT A FEW PIECES, BUT THE MAJORITY OF IT WILL PROBABLY BE REDEVELOPMENT.
SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE, THEY'LL TAKE ALL THAT IN CONSIDERATION IN, INTO THIS AND TELL US IF WE NEED ANOTHER 1000 SQUARE FEET OR 10,000 SQUARE FEET OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER THEY THINK WE NEED, THEY'LL LET US KNOW.
THIS'LL, THIS'LL, YOU KNOW, THIS'LL LOOK AT NOT ONLY THE POLICE SIDE BUT THE DISPATCH, THE JAIL.
AND THERE IS, UH, THE OPPORTUNITY, IF WE WANTED TO MOVE THE COURT AND THE, UH, MUNICIPAL COURT IN WITH US, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT AT, IF THAT'S A FEASIBLE OPTION OR NOT, IF THAT WOULD WORK.
UM, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS TO LOOK INTO THOSE TYPE OF
[00:30:01]
THINGS, INCLUDING IF WE DID RELOCATE THEN WE'D HAVE TO MOVE THE TOWER AS WELL.SO THERE'S SO MANY WORKING PARTS AND WE JUST WANT TO GET THAT GET STARTED EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW WE'RE SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE WAY.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR YEARS.
SO BE A LITTLE PROACTIVE INSTEAD OF REACTIVE.
THANK YOU CHIEF, I KNOW YOU DID SOME LEG WORK ON THIS.
AND THE NEXT ITEM WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 55 DASH 2022.
AND IT WOULD BE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY INCLUDE TEXAS REJECTING PRIOR RFQ SUBMITTALS FOR LACK OF COMPETITION AND APPROVING REISSUE OF REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION FOR SERVICES RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF REGIONAL FLOOD RISK REDUCTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FUNDED THROUGH THE TEXAS GLO ADMINISTER ADMINISTERED CDBG HAZMAT GRANT PROGRAM.
WHEREAS THE CITY OF INCLUDE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON AND THE VELA DRAINAGE DISTRICT WAS AWARDED APPROXIMATELY 9.6 MILLION IN CDBG HAZARD MITIGATION HAZMAT GRANT FUND BY THE TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE FOR THE MITIGATION OF FLOOD RISK ALONG THE FLAG, THE LAKE PLANTATION DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND THE PIN MONEY DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND THE DIXIE DITCH A DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
WHEREAS FEDERAL, STATE, AND CITY PROCUREMENT POLICIES REQUIRE THE SOLICITATION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR A COMPETITIVE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION RFQ PROCESS.
WHEREAS UNDER THOSE RULES, THE CITY DID ISSUE SUCH AN RFQ ON AUGUST 26TH, 22, 20 22, WHICH CLOSED ON OCTOBER THE 10TH, 2022.
AND WHEREAS THERE WAS ONLY ONE RESPONDING FIRM TO THE RFQ, WHEREAS STAFF AND CITIES CONTRACTED PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT FEELS THAT THE PROCESS SHOULD BE REOPENED TO BETTER INSURED COMPETITION.
NOW THEREFORE BE RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY INCLUDE TEXAS TO HAVE PRIOR SUBMITTALS OF THE CITY'S RFQ FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE REGIONAL FLOOD RISK REDUCTION PROJECT FUNDED THROUGH THE TEXAS F O ADMINISTERED CDBG HAZMAT GRANT PROGRAM ARE HEREBY REJECTED FOR LACK OF COMPETITION FURTHER TO ENSURE FAIR AND OPEN COMPETITION.
IN THE CASE OF THE PRIOR RESPONDENT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED A STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATION, THE CITY WILL CONSIDER THE ORIGINAL RESPONSE AS IT WERE SUBMITTED, AS PART OF THE SECOND POSTING OF THIS PROCUREMENT WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL ACTION BY THE RESPONDENT UNLESS THE RESPONDENT SUBMITS A NEW STATEMENT AND MARKED UPDATED STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATION, IN WHICH CASE THE UPDATED RESPONSE WILL BE CONSIDERED AND THE ORIGINAL RESPONSE REPLACED IN THE REVIEW PROCESS.
FINALLY, THE STAFF IS DIRECTED TO ISSUE A REVISED RFQ TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE COMPETITION FOR SAID SERVICES GOING FORWARD.
AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS, RED PATH HAS ADOPTED THIS 10TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2022 AND IT'LL BE SIGNED BY MYSELF AND HAVE TESTED BY ROAD APPOINTMENT CITY CLERK.
Y'ALL REMEMBER AT THE LAST MEETING WE TABLED THIS PARTICULAR ITEM BECAUSE WE HAD ONLY RECEIVED ONE BID.
UH, THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE GRANT PROGRAM HAVE CAME BACK TO US AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE US GET MORE THAN ONE BID.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO REISSUE THE RFQ AND
SO MY UNDERSTANDING, WE CANNOT LIKE FIND ENGINEERING GROUPS OR WHATEVER AND GO TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS PROJECT, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT.
WE WE'RE NOT WHAT? WE CAN'T GO TO 'EM AND SAY, HEY, WE WANT YOU TO COME DO THIS PROJECT, BUT WE CAN, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS LET FOLKS KNOW IN OUR ENGINEERING POOL AND BEYOND, THIS RFQ IS AVAILABLE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, COME CHECK IT OUT, SUBMIT SOMETHING.
UH, WE WERE HONESTLY, WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FIRMS RELATED TO THIS PROJECT.
SO WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN ONLY ONE FIRM TURNED IN A NOTICE.
THAT FIRM IS GREAT I THINK, BUT WE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE, WE'VE
[00:35:01]
OPENED TO BACKUP AND I WILL BEG FORGIVENESS NOW, WE WILL BE ASKING Y'ALL FOR PROBABLY A SPECIAL MEETING, UH, SHORTLY FOLLOWING THE SUBMITTALS RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS TO KEEP US ON TRACK BECAUSE THE IDEA IS THAT WE WOULD BE STARTING DESIGN IN JANUARY, UH, MOVING FORWARD.SO TO KEEP THE PROJECT ON TRACK, WE'RE GONNA ASK A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OF YOU GUYS.
AND I APOLOGIZE ON THE FRONT SIDE CAUSE I KNOW IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, SO, SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS BACK OUT FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS OR WHAT? IT'S ACTUALLY GOTTA BE OPEN FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 DAYS.
SO WE WILL POST IT ON MONDAY AND IT WILL CLOSE ON DECEMBER 16TH.
WE WILL EVALUATE AND BRING IT BACK TO Y'ALL SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

ALL THE, ALL THE, ALL THE UPFRONT LEG WORK IS COMPLETED? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND I WOULD NOTE AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ABOUT COST.
WE AREN'T ALLOWED UNDER THE TEXAS, UH, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, UH, REGULATIONS TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS, BUT THEY WANTED TO SEE DIFFERENT FIRMS WITH DIFFERENT QUALIFICATION LEVELS.
SO, AND WE CARE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 55 DASH 2022.
