I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYBODY HERE TO ACCEPT THE PROCLAMATION, SO I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE PRESENTATION BY LEGACY COMMUNITY GROUP FOR THE HOME HOMEOWNERS ASSISTANCE FUND PROVIDED THROUGH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS.
UH, MY NAME IS FROM ROCO AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF LEGACY CDC.
UH, WE ARE A LOCAL NONPROFIT BASED OUT OF LAPORT BEAUMONT AREA AND WE'RE STARTING TO MOVE OUT INTO OTHER COMMUNITIES.
I'M WORKING FOR BRAZORIA COUNTY AND SO WE'RE JUST KIND OF STARTING WITH ONE PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE HALF PROGRAM.
IT'S THE HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE FUND.
IT WORKS VERY MUCH LIKE THE PREVIOUS RENTER PROGRAMS AND THINGS THAT WERE AROUND, BUT NOT A LOT OF TRACTION HAS HAPPENED WITH IT.
SO WE'RE JUST REACHING OUT TO OUR CITY COUNCILS AND THINGS, UH, MEETINGS LIKE THIS AND PRESENTING IT THIS WAY, LEAVING SOME FLYERS FOR ANYBODY THAT MAY BE HERE OR IF Y'ALL COULD KIND OF POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND HELP EXTEND, YOU KNOW, THE INFORMATION TO YOUR, YOUR COMMUNITY, UH, AS WELL.
UH, THERE IS A LOT OF FUNDING THAT MAY BE RETRACTED IF WE DON'T START USING IT SOON.
IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF ITS KIND FOR HOMEOWNERS.
IF THEY WERE AFFECTED BY COVID 19 IN ANY WAY, WHICH EVERYBODY WAS, WHETHER YOU LOST TIME AT WORK OR YOU JUST HAD TO STAY HOME SICK WITH FAMILY MEMBERS OR ANYTHING, SOMEBODY THERE WAS SOME WAY, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE AFFECTED.
SO IT'S VERY, YOU KNOW, SIMPLE QUALIFICATIONS IF YOU'RE IN NEED.
SO, UM, I DO HAVE MY CARD AND MY FLYER.
I'VE BEEN MEETING A LOT OF CLIENTS, UH, AT LOCAL LIBRARIES, AT LOCAL, HER BOOKS, WHEREVER, YOU KNOW, THERE'S WIFI AND I CAN ASSIST THEM WITH ANYTHING.
UH, JUST FINDING THE INFORMATION, HELPING THEM GET ONLINE TO GET THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED AND THEN SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION.
I CAN HELP THEM THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS.
I, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT I WAS, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE YOU COME.
UH, WE HAD TALKED WITH, UH, NANCY A WHILE BACK ABOUT A SIMILAR PROGRAM.
I GUESS IT WAS THE OLD HOME PROGRAM THAT HELPED OUT.
YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF UNDERUTILIZED.
UH, MR. HAYSLIP, OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL WAS ALSO VERY EXCITED CUZ HE SEES A LOT OF FOLKS IN NEED.
SO IF YOU CAN LEAVE THE INFORMATION, SOME INFORMATION WITH HIM.
AND THEN ALSO I WOULD RECOMMEND, HAVE YOU MET TERRY AT THE DREAM CENTER? I, UH, I HAVEN'T MET HER.
I ACTUALLY, UH, KNOW MISS, UH, NANETTE.
UH, FREELON THAT DOES THE RIVER HOPE VERY WELL.
AND SO I'M, I'M KIND OF STARTING TO MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH ALL OF THEM AND JUST TRYING TO GET IT OUT THERE.
CUZ THE MORE THAT YOU KNOW, IT GETS KNOWN AND THE MORE WE CAN HELP AND IT, RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST, THEY'RE KIND OF STARTING TO MAKE US A LITTLE NERVOUS THAT THEY WANT TO PULL THE FUNDING BACK CUZ WE'RE NOT UTILIZING IT AND RIGHT.
I'M LIKE, OKAY, NO, WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT.
WE JUST, THEY NEED TO KNOW WE HAVE IT, SO.
AND THESE ARE FOR HOMEOWNER? YES.
NOT JUST, NOT JUST NOT RENTAL COMPANIES.
THIS, WE CAN'T HELP RENTERS AT ALL WITH THIS ONE.
THERE HAS BEEN MANY, MANY PROGRAMS THAT HAVE HELPED RENTERS, BUT THIS ONE IS
[00:10:01]
ONLY FOR HOME.NEXT ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA IS BY NATURAL REPORT FOR QUARTER ENDING 31ST DECEMBER, 2022.
AND UNFORTUNATELY CHRIS WON'T BE HERE TO GIVE IT SO Y'ALL ARE GONNA HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ME.
UH, SHE HAD SOME OTHER BUS BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.
UH, OVERALL THINGS LOOK VERY, VERY GOOD.
WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK IN TERMS OF EXPENDITURE, WHERE WE EXPECT IT TO BE IN TERMS OF REVENUE.
WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF WHERE WE EXPECT IT TO BE TO CLOSE OUT THE YEAR.
UH, I WILL SAY THAT THE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE SALES TAX FIGURES ARE THE REAL SALES TAX FIGURES FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.
SO, UH, WE FINISHED MUCH STRONGER IN DECEMBER THAN WE EXPECT IT TO AND THEN WE HAVE IT HISTORICALLY.
SO VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
UH, IN TERMS OF PROJECT OR CASH ON HAND, UH, WE'RE STILL EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG.
WE HAVE, UH, AS WE TALKED DURING OUR BUDGET PROCESS ABOUT PAYING THE MORTGAGE, WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT YET.
PENDING SETTLEMENT OF SOME ISSUES RELATED TO THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE.
UM, SO WE'LL SETTLE THE MORTGAGE ONCE WE GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF.
UH, BUT CASH ON HAND WE'RE DOWN SLIGHTLY A YEAR FROM WHERE WE WERE AT THIS POINT, BUT ONLY MARGINALLY.
AND WE STILL HAVE MORE THAN, UH, $26 MILLION SITTING IN RESERVE, UH, PROJECT WISE.
UH, CAPITAL PROJECT EXPENDITURES, AND I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE CUZ WHEN WE REFORMATTED IT, IT KNOCKED SOME STUFF OFF.
UH, BUT WHERE, WHERE WE'RE AT, UH, WE'VE GOT THE STREET PROJECTS, UH, WHICH SHOWS UP AS STRIPING ENGINEERING, WHICH IS ACTUALLY DRAINAGE.
AND THEN PLANTATION IS THE PLANTATION PROPERTY PURCHASE THAT GOT KNOCKED OFF.
UH, BUT WE'RE ALL WITHIN BUDGET ON THOSE.
UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME ENTERPRISE FUND EXPENDITURES, UH, THAT WE'LL NEED TO MAKE A CALIBRATION FOR.
BUT OTHERWISE WE'RE VERY, VERY HEALTHY.
AND I WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
JUST AS FAR AS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE STRIP.
YEAH, THAT'S, UH, THEY'VE HAD TO COME BACK AND DO SOME HELP.
UH, WE REALIZED THAT THE BEADS WEREN'T IN PLACE, SO THAT'S WHY THEY WERE BACK OUT ON, UH, PLANTATION THIS WEEK.
DID HAVE THEY DONE STRATON RIDGE YET? THEY WERE ON STRATON RIDGE AS OF YESTERDAY.
YEAH, WE, UH, WE NOTICED THE REFLECTIVITY WASN'T WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE AND SO THEY CAME BACK OUT AT NO COST AND HONORED THE AGREEMENT AS IT WAS AND TRIED TO RESOLVE THAT.
SO, AND I KNOW THIS IS A FAR REACH AND IT MAY SEEM A LITTLE BIASED ON MY PART, BUT WITH THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC HANDLE THING IS LAZY LANE ANYWHERE IN FUTURE? YES.
AND WE'VE ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR GRANTS ALSO TO HELP WITH THE CROSSINGS THERE AT LAZY AND HAR AND BY YOU SHARE PEOPLE DEPENDING ON WHEN ALL OF OUR STREET LIGHTS WORK.
UM, THAT FIND IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT ROAD FOR ALL THE TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE IT AT THAT HOUR IS A LITTLE TOUGH.
WELL, IT'S JUST DRAWING A LOT OF ATTENTION.
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ON THE FINANCIALS? NEXT ITEM WILL BE RACIAL PROFILING REPORT PRESENTED BY POLICE CHIEF
UM, THIS IS OUR YEARLY REPORT THAT WE'RE, UM, STATE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW, UH, TO NOT ONLY TO SUBMIT TO THE STATE, BUT ALSO TO PRESENT THE COUNCIL BEFORE MARCH 1ST.
UM, BASICALLY WE CONTINUE TO GATHER THE DATA THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO ON EVERY SINGLE TRAFFIC STOP THAT WE DO.
UM, WE ARE STILL OUTSOURCING WITH AN INDEPENDENT, UH, COMPANY THAT ASSESSES OUR NUMBERS, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING AND HANDLING THINGS, UH, LIKE WE DO.
UM, JUST TO KIND OF A FEW HIGHLIGHTS, UM, LAST YEAR WE DID 6,492 TRAFFIC STOPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
SO, UH, GETTING CLOSER TO FULL STAFF AND WE'RE ABLE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE AND, AND OUT
[00:15:01]
THERE ACTUALLY ENFORCING, UH, THE TRAFFIC LAWS.AND I MEAN, IT'S A RATHER IN-DEPTH REPORT AS WELL WITH, UH, DR.
BUT I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I SPENT A LOT MORE TIME READING THIS THAN I EVER HAVE AND I'M AMAZED AT THE REQUIREMENT I SAID I WAS GONNA DO THIS POLITICALLY CORRECT.
UH, I GUESS TO KEEP EVERYBODY'S INFORMATION AT HAND THROUGH IT.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE, TEXAS I WILL SAY TEXAS KIND OF LED THE NATION IN REQUIRING THIS REPORT.
THERE WERE A LOT OF STATES THAT WEREN'T, UH, DOING THESE TYPE OF THINGS AND, AND WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS.
AND IT, IT SHOWS IF YOU'RE DOING THINGS RIGHT AND HONESTLY SOME DEPARTMENTS, IF THEY'RE DOING THINGS WRONG AND YOU KNOW, UM, IT, IT BREAKS, IT BREAKS IT COMPLETELY DOWN BY RACE, BY MALE, FEMALE, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.
AND, AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S INTERESTING IS BEFORE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE, IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE CAMERA SYSTEMS, YOU'RE REQUIRED TO BASICALLY GATHER DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THEN WHAT'S REQUIRED IF YOU HAVE THE CAMERAS.
SO, UM, IT'S EVEN MORE INTENSE IF YOU, IF YOU DON'T HAVE CAMERAS.
MOST EVERYBODY HAS 'EM NOW, BUT YEAH, HOPEFULLY IT'S JUST BOX CHECKING AND NOT ALL RIGHT, WELL, EVERYTHING, LIKE FOR US, AND, AND LIKE IF, IF YOU LOOK THROUGH, WE DON'T DO VERBAL WARNINGS, WE ONLY DO WRITTEN WARNINGS THAT WAY.
WE ARE FOR SURE DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING THAT WE DOCUMENT.
EVERY PERSON THAT IS ARRESTED OFF OF A TRAFFIC STOP IS ACTUALLY EITHER ISSUED A CITATION FOR THE REASON THAT THEY WERE STOPPED OR AT LEAST A WARNING.
SO AGAIN, THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE'RE DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING.
SO IT'S THROUGH THAT SYSTEM AND IT IS MUCH EASIER THAN IT USED TO BE BECAUSE IT IS ALL ON THE, THE HANDHELD COMPUTERS BASICALLY.
BUT IF I READ THIS CORRECTLY, EVEN IF Y'ALL STOP FOR WHATEVER REASON AND SPEAK TO SOMEONE SITTING ON THE BENCH, ON THE SIDEWALK, THESE ARE TRAFFIC STOPS.
IT IT, IT ONLY APPLIES TO MOBILE.
I READ SOMETHING HERE ABOUT VERBAL.
I GUESS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT VERBAL TRAFFIC.
SO VERBAL WARNINGS, WE DON'T DO VERBAL WARNINGS BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE A WAY TO TRACK ALL THAT INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GOTTA TRACK.
NEXT ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERATION.
IS IT POSSIBLE ACTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2023 DASH OH FOUR.
APPROVE YOUR REVISION OF SENIOR DISCOUNTS ON UTILITY BILLING AND THERE WOULD BE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2023 DASH OH FOUR.
AN ORDINANCE OF CITY OF FLUTE TEXAS CONTAINING A PREAMBLE AMENDING SECTION 1 1 4 0.42 A ONE A AND 1 1 4 0.43 A AND TWO A HAVE SAID CHAPTER THAT PROVIDE THAT EACH ELIGIBLE CUSTOMER AGE 65 OR OLDER SHALL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT OF 40% ON THE CITY'S BASE TEAR BILLING FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE, RATIFYING AND CONFIRMING ANY AND ALL ACTIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE OF THE CITY MANAGER IN GIVING OF SUCH CREDITS IN THE PAST.
FURTHER AMENDING THE LANGUAGE OF THIS CODE TO CLARIFY THE TERM OF A APPLICABILITY FOR SUCH CREDIT CONTAINING A SEVERANCE CLAUSE WILL PROVIDE THIS ORDER, SHALL TAKE A FORCE, SHALL THIS ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT OF BEING FORCED FROM AN AFTER ITS PASSAGE AND ADOPTION.
I WANNA THANK MR. WILKINSON FOR CATCHING MY MATH ERROR.
I HAD, UH, CALCULATED THE PERCENTAGE BASED ON THE TOTAL BILL, NOT THE BASE TIER.
SO HAD HE NOT ACTED, WE WOULD'VE, UH, BEEN BACK ASKING AGAIN FOR A CHANGE CUZ WE WERE SHORT.
SO, UH, THIS IS ACTUALLY A SLIGHT INCREASE.
UH, IT AMOUNTS TO ABOUT $5 AND 60 CENTS OFF, OFF THE BASE TIER FOR THOSE SENIORS, UH, UP FROM ABOUT $5.
BUT WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S A FAIR TRADE.
THE ACTUAL PREVIOUS PERCENTAGE WAS 38.6, SO WE ROUNDED UP TO 40 TO KEEP US THERE.
AND THIS WILL ALLOW US AS WE RAISE RATES IN THE FUTURE, THAT 40% TILE WILL FLOAT UP WITH IT SO THAT THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC DOLLAR FIGURE, WHICH IS HOW WE GOT CAUGHT WITH THE JANUARY BILLING.
SHORT SHRIFTING SOME OF OUR FOLKS, OR NOT SHORT SHRIFTING,
[00:20:01]
THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT WORD, BUT FOLKS FELT LIKE THEY HAD BEEN SHORT SHRIFTED, SO OH, I WAS GONNA SAY 65 AND ORDER.MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MCCRESS TO ACCEPT ORDINANCE, UH, 2023 DASH OH OH FOUR AS WRITTEN, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MCGUINN DISCUSSION.
AS YOU KNOW, THE DAY WHEN I CALLED YOU, IT'S AMAZING Y'ALL $5 OR $10 CATCHES SOMEBODY, BUT THEY CALLED ME AND SAID, HEY, UH, THEY DIDN'T GIMME MY DISCOUNT AND UM, WE FOUND OUT THAT YOU DID GET THE DISCOUNT.
IT'S JUST THAT IT WAS ABSORBED WITH THE, UH, PAY RAISE OR, OR THE WATER RATE RAISE.
HE STILL WASN'T HAPPY, BUT HE, HER DISTRICT.
AND ONCE AGAIN, NOT TO, BUT EVEN SATISFIED, THIS IS FOR ALL RESIDENTS AS FAR AS AGE GROUP, AND THAT'S CORRECT.
HOW DOES THAT AFFECT OUR APARTMENTS OR OUR LIVING CENTERS? IS THAT JUST IF THEY PAY THEIR OWN WATER BILL? IF THEY PAY THEIR OWN WATER BILL, THAT GETS IMPACTED.
OTHERWISE WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING BECAUSE, BECAUSE OF THE MASTER OF WATER BILLING.
YEAH, IF THEY HAVE A, IF THE, IF THEY PAY, IF, IF THEY PAY THE APARTMENT OF WATER BILL AND, AND THE APARTMENT PAYS THE CITY OF WATER BILL, THEN GOTCHA.
WE'RE NOT CHARGING THE, THE TENANT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENT? YOU'RE A LITTLE WAYS AWAY.
