[00:20:10]
EVENING. MY NAME IS RAINBOW, AND I'VE LIVED IN ODESSA ABOUT SIX YEARS. I LIKE LIVING HERE.AND I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY. MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE SCARED RIGHT NOW. THEY FEAR THAT SOMETHING ABOUT THEM MIGHT MAKE SOME CRUEL AUTHORITY TAKE NOTICE OF THEM AND HARM THEM.
THIS IS A VALID FEAR. THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED LAST YEAR THAT SKIN COLOR, APPEARANCE, LANGUAGE, AND EVEN LOW WAGE JOBS ARE GOOD REASONS FOR EYES TO HARASS AND DETAIN ANYONE. AS OF 2023, AROUND 70,000 OF THE RESIDENTS OF ODESSA, TEXAS ARE HISPANIC. OVER 40% SPEAK A SECOND LANGUAGE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT LOW WAGE WORK MEANS EXACTLY, BUT AROUND 14% OF ODESSANS SURVIVE ON POVERTY WAGES. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS YOUR DUTY AS ELECTED OFFICIALS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE FROM ANY FORCE THAT THREATENS THEM. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE YOUR STANCES AND POSITIONS KNOWN TO THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE, AND YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ACT IN THIS SITUATION. YOU SHOULD MAKE CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC WHAT ACTIONS ICE AND OTHER AGENCIES ARE AND ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO HERE. WHAT OUR LOCAL POLICE ARE ALLOWED TO DO WITH THEM, AND WHAT WE AS A CITY PLAN TO DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS HERE. LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO RENE NICOLE GOOD IN MINNEAPOLIS LAST WEEK. OR WHAT HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 32 PEOPLE IN ICE CUSTODY LAST YEAR. I BELIEVE THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY PERSON.
TO LOOK OUT FOR AND CARE FOR THOSE AROUND THEM. OUR CITY COUNCIL HAS MANY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AT ITS DISPOSAL TO HELP FIND SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS, FROM TRAFFIC SAFETY TO GOLF COURSE PLANNING, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO FORM A CITIZEN OVERSIGHT BOARD TO DECIDE WHAT INTERACTIONS OUR CITY HAS WITH ICE AND OTHER AGENCIES, AND TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY WITH THE PUBLIC WHAT THIS CITY'S POLICIES AND POSITIONS ARE, AND TO KEEP ODESSANS SAFE ABOVE ALL.
MAYBE THE UNITED STATES WILL CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH FOR A WHILE, BUT NOT FOREVER. AND HISTORY WILL JUDGE YOUR NAMES MAY NOT REACH HISTORY BOOKS, BUT THEY WILL BE KNOWN TO THE FUTURE LEADERS OF THIS CITY AND TO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN. THOSE LEADERS DOWN THE ROAD WILL EITHER CELEBRATE YOU OR CHISEL YOUR NAMES OFF. ANYTHING YOU TOUCHED IN SHAME. MY DESCENDANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND WHAT EXACTLY I STOOD FOR AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT IN HISTORY, BUT YOURS WILL TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU, THANK YOU MA'AM. LOUIS FIVE. SORRY. HELLO AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY OF ODESSA. AND I LOVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
THIS IS GREAT. HERE WE GO. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE MUCH POSITIVE TO SPEAK ABOUT. A WOMAN NAMED RENEE NICOLE GOODE WAS MURDERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN MINNEAPOLIS.
AFTER VIEWING A VIDEO OF IT, ONE CANNOT HELP BUT USE THE WORD MURDER BECAUSE IT'S ACCURATE. I PERSONALLY, I AM PERSONALLY NOT SURE WHY EVERYONE IN TEXAS IS NOT SEEING THIS RIGHT. AND THE RAIDS AND THE VIOLENCE, NOT SEEING ALL OF IT AS A COMPLETE OVERSTEP OF FEDERAL AUTHORITY. IN OTHER WORDS, A VIOLATION OF THE 10TH AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
SO WEIRD. MAYBE YOU ARE. I HOPE YOU ARE. BUT WHY ARE THEY NOT DEFERRING TO THE STATES IN THESE MATTERS? WHY IS THIS USURPATION OF STATES RIGHTS OKAY WHEN OTHER USURPATIONS ARE NOT? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE 10TH AMENDMENT WAS WRITTEN FOR. IT'S NOT THAT HARD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SLOGANS LIKE DON'T TREAD ON ME ARE ALL ABOUT. WHO'S ME? THAT'S ALL OF US. WHO
[00:25:03]
ARE WE SPEAKING TO? THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. RIGHT. BUT AS TRUMP AND COMPANY CONTINUE TO GASLIGHT THE POPULATION IN THEIR FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO HIDE THE REALITY WE ALL SEE WITH OUR OWN NAKED EYES, AND AS SIX PEOPLE IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SO FAR TODAY HAVE RESIGNED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS HANDLING THIS MURDER IN MINNEAPOLIS, IT MAKES ME FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE HERE IN ODESSA, INCLUDING A LOT OF MY FRIENDS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CITY POLICY IS WHEN ICE VISITS US. THEY VISITED MIDLAND DECEMBER 16TH, RIGHT BEHIND THE COSTCO, AND WITH THE AID OF THE MIDLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY ROUNDED UP APPROXIMATELY 20 PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM WHOSE FAMILIES HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM SINCE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T DO OFTEN IS WE DON'T PUT OURSELVES IN THE SHOES OF PEOPLE, RIGHT. PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF SOMEBODY TAKEN BY ICE FOR A SECOND. I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE FOR A MINUTE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR FAMILY IF YOU SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED? WHAT CHAOS WOULD BE CAUSED? I BET IT WOULD BE A LOT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY OF ODESSA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT SIGNED ON TO HELP ICE, AND I HOPE THEY NEVER DO. BUT THE REALITY IS, IS THAT ICE HAS TURNED DEADLY. THEY KILLED A MOTHER. THEY KILLED A WIFE. THEY COULD KILL ANYONE HERE AND GET AWAY WITH IT. IF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DOESN'T INVESTIGATE IT. I WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I DON'T WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DO THIS IN ODESSA. I WOULD MUCH PREFER THAT THEY LEAVE US ALONE AS OUR FOUNDERS INTENDED. I WANT TO SECOND THE PROPOSAL BY MY FRIEND RAINBOW. A CITIZENS OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE CITY'S INTERACTIONS WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ICE. THIS WOULD BE COMPOSED OF ORDINARY CITIZENS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS. IT WILL HELP PROTECT PEOPLE, AND IT WILL ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE. SO THE PEOPLE OF ODESSA KNOW THEIR RIGHTS. WHEN ACCOSTED BY AN UNTRAINED ICE OFFICER, IF NOT ONE OF OUR CITIZENS COULD END UP DEAD. WE NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE IS SHOT BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HERE.SO I URGE YOU GUYS, AND I'D LOVE TO SPEAK TO ALL OF YOU, CREATE THAT COMMISSION AND LET'S PROTECT EACH OTHER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. JACKIE BETTIS. JACKIE BETTIS. HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU? HI. MY NAME IS JACKIE. I'M ALSO HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ODESSA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HOW THEY ARE OR MAY RESPOND TO ICE. THERE'S A LOT OF BIG NEWS OUT THERE ABOUT THE THINGS ICE HAS BEEN OUT THERE HAS BEEN UP TO THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. BUT ODESSA IS MY HOME. AND THAT'S WHY I WANT TO KNOW. ODESSA POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PLAN ON HOW TO HANDLE ICE. I'LL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU. I DON'T WANT TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FEDS.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BUSY RAISING A FAMILY AND MAINTAINING A HOME. WE HAVE LIVES THAT WE WANT TO LIVE. WE DON'T WANT THOSE LIVES TO BE INTERRUPTED BY ICE. BUT IT'S NO SECRET TO ANYBODY WHO LIVES IN OUR CITY THAT IT'S FULL OF THE PEOPLE THAT ISIS TARGETING, OR JUST MAYBE PEOPLE THAT ICE DOESN'T RESPECT. SOONER OR LATER THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR TARGETS HERE. SO. SO HOW WILL THE POLICE RESPOND IF FEDERAL AGENTS THREATEN ODESSANS? WHAT IF THEY ACT OVER HERE, THE WAY THAT THEY'VE ACTED IN OTHER PLACES? WILL ODESSA PD BE THERE FOR ALL ODESSANS, EVEN THE ODESSANS THAT ICE DOESN'T RESPECT? SHOULD THE PEOPLE OF ODESSA EXPECT ODESSA POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PROTECT THEM IF THEY'RE EXERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PROTEST, OR THEIR RIGHT AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE, WILL THE ODESSA POLICE ARREST ICE AGENTS WHO THREATEN OR WHO HARM ODESSANS? ODESSA POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN THERE FOR MY FAMILY AND SOME SCARY MOMENTS. THEY'VE DONE A LOT TO KEEP ME AND MINE SAFE. AND I'LL I'LL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACE THAT THEY'VE PROVIDED IN SOME CHAOTIC SITUATIONS. I'VE LIVED IN ODESSA FOR TEN YEARS. ODESSA IS MY FAMILY'S HOME. AS ODESSA CITIZEN, I'M INTERESTED IN AN ADVISORY BOARD FOR OPD WITH REGULAR ODESSANS IN IT TO BE A PART OF THE PLANS TO KEEP ODESSA SAFE FROM ICE. THANK YOU COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I DID. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, LET'S MOVE TO OUR

MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE. OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY MAVERICK ENGINEERING FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING IN LOT ONE, BLOCK ONE, REDSTONE RIDGE ADDITION, ODESSA, ECTOR COUNTY, TEXAS. ELIZABETH. THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR. AS YOU MENTIONED THIS, THE REPRESENTATIVES MAVERICK ENGINEERING FOR CACI HOSPITALITY. THIS IS LOCATED IN. 2206 EAST PEARL STREET AND THEY'RE REQUESTING FOR AN SCP FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING. BUT THE THE ZONING WOULD BE THE ZONING SL S L I LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHICH WOULD ALLOW WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE AN SCP. SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE THE PROJECT ITSELF. SO THE PROJECT WOULD BE THEY ON THEIR LOT.
THEY'LL HAVE ONE OFFICE SPACE. THEY WILL HAVE 21 UNITS WILL GO INTO DETAILS OF WHAT THAT ENTITLES FOR EACH UNIT. AND THEY'RE SHOWING THAT THEY'RE HAVING 21 PARKING SPACES. THE ENTRANCE WILL BE ON EAST PEARL STREET. NOW, WHEN WE GO INTO THE DETAILS OF EACH OF THOSE UNITS, WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS FIVE SLEEPING QUARTERS, KIND OF LIKE A STUDIO THERE. EACH WILL HAVE A KITCHEN, A KITCHENETTE, PRETTY MUCH THEIR OWN RESTROOM. AND LIKE A BEDROOM BECOMES LIKE A BEDROOM. SO AND THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE WHOLE UNIT IS GOING TO BE 26FT BY 15. AND THE EACH ROOM WILL BE AROUND 152FTā !S. WE DON'T TYPICALLY SEE THIS, ESPECIALLY LIKE WE WERE TALKING EARLIER IN A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREA. YOU DON'T TEND TO SEE LANDSCAPING, BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THIS INTO A NICE ENVIRONMENT. SO THEY ARE INCORPORATING A LANDSCAPING PLAN WITH THIS. EXHIBIT B IS JUST OUR ORDINANCE AND WHERE IT STATES WHAT ARE ALL THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A WORKFORCE HOUSING. THIS IS A PERMANENT WORKFORCE HOUSING. SO IF IT IS APPROVED, THEY'RE ASKING FOR INDEFINITE, I GUESS USE OF THAT LOT TO BE THAT TO BE DEDICATED FOR THAT. SO IN PART OF THOSE REGULATIONS, THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN STANDARDS. THEY HAVE TO LIKE INFORM US OF
[00:35:02]
WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE DOOR, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF MANAGING THE PROPERTY. THEY HAVE TO LIVE ON THE FACILITY. IN THIS CASE, THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THE UNITS BE DEDICATED TO THEM. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE ALL OF THE CONTROL OF WHO IS COMING AND GOING. AND I'M GOING TO KIND OF SKIP TO THE OPERATIONS ASPECT. THEY THEY ARE EVEN GOING INTO LOOKING AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE COMPLIANT WITHIN THAT THEY'RE NOT ABUSING ANY KINDS OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE ON THAT. THEY'RE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH NOISE REGULATIONS. SO BY BETWEEN 10 TO 6 A.M. THEY'RE THERE SHOULD BE NO NOISE IN THIS AREA. IF THEY HAVE VISITORS, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE LEAVE AT A REASONABLE TIME. AND NO WEAPONS ON THE PROPERTY EITHER. THEREFORE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS AS IT'S ALLOWED, AND THEY HAVE COMPLIED WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS THAT WE REQUIRE THEM TO DO THIS. WE'RE TELLING THEM, PLEASE COMPLY TO ALL OF THIS. MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY PLAN THAT GETS RECORDED WITH OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A CONTACT INFORMATION AS WELL OF WHO IS THE PROPERTY MANAGER THERE. IN CASE WE HAVE ANY DISRUPTIONS OR ANYTHING IN THERE. SO I'M NOT OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE. OKAY. LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. SURE. I'LL OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING.YOU MAY WISH TO SPEAK. MAY DO SO AT THIS TIME. PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES.
ANY SPEAKERS? IF NOT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. GENTLEMEN. ANY QUESTIONS? GEOGRAPHICALLY, WHERE DOES THIS PROPERTY? PARALLEL TO THE I-20. THE PEARL. GEOGRAPHIC PEARL. OH, IT'S ON PEARL STREET. YEAH, WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
OKAY. AND THAT'S IN YOUR DISTRICT. AREA? COUNCILMAN PEARL, IS THE STREET RIGHT THERE BY. IS THIS BALL SYMBOLS? RIGHT. THERE WAS CIVIL. THERE'S A STREET. YOU TURN RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE RAILROAD. SO IT PARALLELS SECOND STREET THEN. YEAH. OH, GOTCHA. OKAY. IT'S JUST SOUTH OF THAT LITTLE STACK. OKAY. I BELIEVE THERE'S ONE UNIT ON THE NORTH SIDE. CORRECT? CORRECT. AND THAT'S CONSIDERED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. CORRECT. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. SO THERE'S EXACTLY THE SAME WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING THERE FROM RESEARCH THAT I DID, I DIDN'T SEE THAT THERE'S ANYTHING NEGATIVE WITH IT. SO THEY'VE ALL BEEN COMPLIANT. AND THEY WERE ESTABLISHED BEFORE WE ACTUALLY HAD AN ORDINANCE. SO OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS ONE THAT THEY'RE GIVING A LOT OF INFORMATION. THEY PUT A LOT OF EFFORT TO MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE COMPLIANT WITH EVERYTHING. ANY MAILING NOTIFICATIONS, SORRY, MAILING NOTIFICATIONS SENT OUT SEVEN, BUT WE DIDN'T GET ANY ZERO. NOBODY DID THAT. THAT'S ALL. NOBODY OUT THERE INDUSTRIAL. SO YEAH. SO HOW MANY UNITS. SO SO THERE ARE 21 UNITS. IT'S GOING TO BE 105 SUITES. SUITES, 105 SUITES. SO HOW ARE THESE LEASED. LIKE HOW ARE HOW ARE THEY RENTED. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. AND I WISH ANDREW WAS OH. CAMERON BRINK MAVERICK ENGINEERING. YEAH. THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE LEASED SIMILARLY TO I GUESS KIND OF LIKE A HOTEL IN A SENSE, WHERE THEY'LL HAVE KEY CARDS, ACCESS TO THEIR ROOMS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, AND THEY HAVE TO CHECK IN UP FRONT FOR THEIR THING, AND THEY'LL HAVE A REGISTER OF EVERYONE THAT'S THERE THAT GOES THROUGH BACKGROUND CHECK, EVERYTHING AS WELL. SO IS THIS CONSIDERED KIND OF LIKE THE ARMADILLO HOTEL, WHERE WE WILL BE COLLECTING HOT FUNDS, OR IS IT A HOTEL OR IS IT IS IT? THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED WORKFORCE HOUSING, SO IT DOES NOT BECOME STR. WHY IT SHOULD? IT SHOULD IF PEOPLE ARE CHECKING IN BECAUSE THERE I. I'LL DEFER TO YOU IN REGARDS TO THAT. BUT FROM THERE LEASING VERSUS THAT WAS MY QUESTION. SO IF IT'S I MEAN IF THE IF THE GUESTS YOU KNOW AS IT READS IN HERE, THE GUESTS CHECK IN AND OUT FOR LESS FEWER THAN 29 DAYS SO WE CAN PUT, I GUESS, IF WE WANT TO ADD SOMETHING IN THERE THAT IF IT'S LESS THAN 30 DAYS, THEN IT HAS TO BECOME A SHORT TERM RENTAL. BUT WE DON'T GET INTO THE DETAILS OF HOW LONG THEIR STAYS ARE IN THERE. WORKFORCE
[00:40:03]
HOUSING DOESN'T GIVE US THAT DEFINITION OF HOW LONG THEY HAVE TO BE IN A SPECIFIC UNIT.SO IS HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO FINALLY SET A STANDARD FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING, FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING. AND IF IT'S TONIGHT, THEN TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. WE NEED TO DO IT.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, AS I'M SEEING THIS AS GUYS COMING IN FOR TWO WEEKS AND GOING HOME, AND THEN ANOTHER GROUP COMES IN FOR TWO WEEKS AND GOES HOME, THAT'S LESS THAN THAN WHAT WE WE REQUIRE FOR MOTEL CHECK IN. AND SO THEREFORE THIS BECOMES A RENTAL PROPERTY, A BASICALLY TO ME IT'S A YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY IT'S A MOTEL HOTEL. IT SHOULD FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY. SO WE YOU HAVE THE OR. I DON'T KNOW, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THIS REALLY IS HOWEVER YOU WANT TO PAINT THE PICTURE, RIGHT. HOWEVER YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. WHAT LIZ IS DOING IS BASICALLY AN INDIVIDUAL CAME TO THEM AND SAID, HEY, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS PROJECT IN THIS LOCATION. AND IS IT? AND STAFF'S POSITION IS DOES IT COMPLY WITH THE ORDINANCE? NO, IT DOES THROUGH AN SUV. AND SO IF WE WANT TO CHANGE HOW WE MOVE FORWARD, RIGHT NOW'S THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT. BUT FROM STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, WE JUST LOOK AT IT.
IS IT LEGAL AND IT IS LEGAL. THEREFORE, NOW IT'S UP TO THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. SO THAT'S OUR POSITION. THAT'S STAFF'S POSITION. AND YOU CAN ALSO POSITION OR THE COUNCIL'S NOW RESPONSIBILITY. HOW DO YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. AND DO THESE TYPES OF THINGS EVEN NEED TO BE ALLOWED IN THESE IN THESE ZONES? IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, WHAT'S ALLOWED IN A ZONE, WHAT ISN'T ALLOWED IN A ZONE THAT'S UP TO THE COUNCIL AS WELL TO DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. THAT MIGHT TAKE A WHOLE OTHER MEETING TO TALK ABOUT, AND THAT GETS BACK INTO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HERE'S A BUILDING ON A CHASSIS BEING ALLOWED INTO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THAT IS, AGAIN, A WHOLE NOTHER CONVERSATION. BUT IT'S A MANUFACTURED HOME. YEP. YEAH, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IT BE PUT ON AN EXECUTIVE SESSION DISCUSSION SO THAT OUR LEGAL COUNSEL CAN GUIDE US THROUGH IT, AS WELL AS OUR CITY MANAGER AT A FUTURE TIME, A FUTURE MEETING, BECAUSE I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS LIKE THE TABLE, THE ITEMS. YES. YES, SIR. TABLE FOR TONIGHT. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE IT FOR TONIGHT I'LL SECOND MOTION. THERE'S A MOTION FOR A TABLE BY COUNCILMAN VAZQUEZ, IN A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN THOMPSON. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT? IF NOT, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION IS UNANIMOUS. IS TABLED. YEP. LIZ, MY ONE QUESTION, JUST WHILE YOU'RE DOING ALL THIS OTHER STUFF IS THAT THERE'S 300. AND THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS YOU GOT TWO.
THREE. WHAT'D YOU SAY, 200 AND 105, 105 UNITS, 105 ROOMS. YES. AND 221 UNITS. ONE PERSON, TWO ONE PERSON TO A ROOM, NOT TWO. THERE IS EFFICIENCY. YEAH. SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ONE. YOU FIGURE TWO SPACES PER UNIT. THAT'S 310 PARKING SPACES, NOT 221. IT'S JUST IT'S DESIGNED FOR ONE. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE FIGHTING ANOTHER ONE OVER HERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN.
THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. I'M JUST PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE HERE. YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S A PROBLEM.
YES. AND THAT'S WHERE WE. IF WE WANT IT LIKE THAT'S WHY IT'S AN SCP. SO IF YOU WANT TO PUT THOSE TERMS IN THERE, ONLY ONE PERSON CAN BE IT HAS TO BE RENTED FOR A WHOLE YEAR. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN PUT IN. AND I GUESS WE PROBABLY NEED A DEFINITION OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN APARTMENT OR A LESS THAN 30 DAYS, IT SEEMS TO ME, IS JUST A HOTEL MOTEL LEASING IT FOR SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR. THAT'S THAT'S DIFFERENT. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LEGAL DEFINITION IS. SO MAYBE WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT. WE GO BACK ON THE AGENDA. YES, SIR. SO I DO KNOW ORAL COMPANIES RENT THESE OUT ALL THE TIME. SO IF THAT OIL COMPANY WANTS TO PUT THEIR NAME ON A WHOLE YEAR LEASE AND BOOK ALL THOSE ROOMS, THEN NOW IT DOESN'T BECOME THAT. NOW IT'S A A HOME. NOW IT'S REALLY OIL FILLED HOUSING. OKAY. SO I'M OKAY WITH THAT PART OF IT.
AND HOWEVER WE WRITE THAT UP. BUT RIGHT NOW IS I CAN GO RENT ONE OF THESE ROOMS BECAUSE MY WIFE'S MAD AT ME AND I CAN SPEND THE NIGHT THERE. SO NOW IT'S AGAIN. BUT I DON'T HAVE TO PAY TAXES. HIGH TAXES ON YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? UNDERSTANDABLE. ALRIGHT, THAT'S
[00:45:01]
WHAT I'M SAYING. SO WE NEED THIS COUNCIL NEEDS TO CLARIFY WHAT REALLY OILFIELD HOUSING IS.AND THAT'S USUALLY WITH A COMPANY THAT THAT NEEDS THE HOUSING. YEAH. SO BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IS THERE'S OILFIELD GUYS THAT ARE BOOKED IN ALL OF THESE APARTMENTS AROUND HERE. I CAN TAKE YOU TO A WHOLE GROUP OF THEM. SO WHEN DOES THAT QUALIFY AS THE SAME DEAL? THOSE GUYS ARE ONLY HERE TWO WEEKS AND GONE HERE TWO WEEKS AND GONE. SO IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN WE NEED THAT OILFIELD COMPANY NEEDS TO PICK THESE SPACES UP AND RENT THEM AS A COMPANY.
OKAY. FAIR ENOUGH, FAIR ENOUGH. LET'S MOVE ON. ALRIGHT. THAT THAT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE IS TABLED. NUMBER TEN, OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL AND REQUEST BY LEE COVE PROPERTIES, INC.

AGAIN. THIS IS WHEN WE BRING IN ANNEXATIONS INTO THE CITY. THEY COME IN AS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. SO THEY ARE PROPOSED OR THEY'RE REQUESTING FOR LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
WE DID. YES. SEND OUR REPORTS INTERNALLY. WE GOT NO OBJECTIONS. WE DID SEND OUT NOTIFICATION NOTIFICATIONS. AND WE ALSO DID NOT GET ANY OBJECTIONS. WE ONLY HAD TWO THAT WE HAD TO SEND OUT. AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE OF WHERE IT'S LOCATED AT. THEREFORE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE ZONE CHANGE FROM A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO LIGHT COMMERCIAL.

THREE, ALTHOUGH IT'S FOR CHURCH, THEY CAN GO IN ANY ZONING. SO THEY'RE JUST MATCHING THE ZONING THAT IS ADJACENT TO THEM. THAT'S HOW THAT ZONING CAME TO BE. IT WILL BE FOR AN EXPANSION OF THEIR ORGANIZATION. WE DID SEND OUT A TOTAL OF 51 PUBLIC NOTICES WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE GOT SIX DENIALS. WE GOT TWO APPROVAL AND SEVEN THAT JUST CAME BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE THEY WERE RETURNED TO US. AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAVEN'T SAID WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING TO BE GOING THERE, BUT IT MIGHT BE. I'VE HEARD THROUGH OUR PREDEVELOPMENT MEETINGS THAT MAYBE IT CAN BE AN EXPANSION FOR LIKE A SCHOOL FOR JUST MAYBE ADDITIONAL FOR RIGHT NOW PARKING THAT THEY WANT. THEY WERE VERY NICE WHEN WE WERE WORKING ON OUR WILDCATTER TRAIL, THAT THEY ACTUALLY GAVE US A DEDICATION OF PART OF
[00:50:02]
THEIR EASEMENT IN HERE. SO THAT ALSO RUNS THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR, THAT LONGER PORTION THAT'S THERE. WE DID ROUTE THIS INTERNALLY. WE GOT NO OBJECTIONS. THEREFORE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS ZONE CHANGE FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO SF THREE. SO SHOULD YOU SAY YOU HAD SIX DENIALS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE? YES. WHAT WERE THE DENIALS FOR? WHAT WERE THEY SAYING? SO THEY LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THEM HERE. WHAT WOULD THEY OBJECT INTO? THEY DON'T WANT THE THEY JUST SAID NO PROTEST.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE GOING TO YOU UNDERSTAND, THEY'RE GOING TO ADD ON TO THE CHURCH OR DO A SCHOOL OR SOMETHING. THEY WEREN'T SPECIFIC AT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO AT THIS TIME. I KNOW FOR THIS TIME THEY'RE JUST GOING TO EXPAND FOR PARKING.
OKAY. SO THEY'RE YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO THEIR ACCESS THAT'S WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IS THIS THE CHURCH? THIS IS THE CHURCH RIGHT HERE. THERE'S AN EASEMENT RIGHT HERE. WHAT'S WHAT IS THEIR ACCESS LOOK LIKE. HOW SO THEY'LL END UP USING THAT EASEMENT AS THEIR ACCESS TO GET TO THERE'S A ROAD HOUSING BUILT THERE LIKE SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD THEIR THERE'S NO THEY'LL BE USING THEIR EASEMENTS TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE OTHER PROPERTY. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A AROUND THAT TRIANGLE. THIS THE SQUARE. SORRY. THAT'S ALL STRAIGHT. SO IT GOES INTO THE RESIDENTIAL. YEAH. BUT THAT'S THIS PICTURE RIGHT HERE. THIS ONE YOU CAN ONLY GO TO BILLY HEX. I CAN'T SEE THEM GOING ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO. RIGHT. BECAUSE HERE'S THE CHURCH I'M CHRISTIAN. THEY CAN ALSO GO TO THE END OF THE OTHER STREET. I FORGOT THE NAME OF THAT ONE, BASTROP AVENUE. I'M JUST TRYING TO IMAGINE WHERE THIS BIG INCREASE OF TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE. IF THEY FOLLOW. THAT EASEMENT ENDS UP ON BASTROP AVENUE. YEAH, WHICH THEY ALREADY ARE ALREADY USED. BUT ANYWAY. RIGHT. THEY ARE. IT'S BEHIND IT. SORRY. ARE THEY USING THAT EASEMENT? YES THEY DO. IT'S THERE. SO THEY THEY USE IT JUST GOES JUST TO BASTROP. I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING PAVED UP THROUGH THERE? WELL, THIS IS I CAN'T RECALL RIGHT HERE. THEY'RE JUST AN ALLEY. JUST A PORTION OF IT IS PAVED NOW FOR THE BACK DON'T YOU. YEAH. YEAH. BUT DOWN THERE. YEAH, YEAH. THAT'S WHAT LET ME SEE A PROBLEM. I THINK IT'S JUST ACROSS THE STREET. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. IT'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING ON ON THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS GENTLEMEN. THAT'S A BETTER PICTURE. IF THEY COME OUT OF THAT CHAIR.
ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? OKAY, STEVE. WELL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. UNLESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING. I'M SEEING LOW IMPACT. I'M NOT SEEING. THANK YOU. BROTHER, I'M WITH YOU. IT'S A CHURCH. IT'S LOW IMPACT. IT'S PARKING. YEAH. IT'S JUST. I JUST DON'T SEE UNLESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING. YEAH, WELL, THAT'S JUST A VACANT LOT RIGHT NEXT TO CORRECT DENTIST OFFICE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THAT'S. YEAH, BUT THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO MAKE.
IT'S GOING TO FACE THE ALLEYWAY OF THE HOUSES. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE SIX ARE, BUT IT'S THERE. IT'S THERE. ALLEY. THAT'S A STREET. THAT'S A STREET THAT'S OUT. YEAH IT'S ALLEY SALLY. ONLY PART OF IT. SO THIS IS THE ALLEY. BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE THE EASEMENT. THIS IS THEIR PROPERTY ALREADY. YEAH, YEAH, BUT IT'S THEIR ALLEYS IN THAT BLUE MARK. THEIR ALLEYS RIGHT THERE. THIS YOUR PICTURE? NOT MINE. PASS THAT DOWN. IT LOOKS
[00:55:04]
LIKE ALLEY FROM THIS PICTURE. THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU. LOOK AT THAT PICTURE. IT SAYS FACING NORTH. THE NEXT ONE OR THE ONE BEFORE IT? I'M NOT THAT ONE. MINE SAYS FACE. THAT'S. THAT'S CENTERED, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SORRY. I'LL HAVE MARIA COME IN. THIS THE ONE I'M LOOKING. IT SAYS FACING NORTH CENTER. IF YOU CAN FIND THAT ONE. SO GOOD EVENING. MOST OF THE HOUSING IS THE PROPERTY IS BACKING IN 2000 HOUSING OR THE. YOU'RE CORRECT. THERE'S ALLEYS AROUND THAT PROPERTY. RIGHT. THIS ROAD RIGHT HERE IS A DIRT ROAD. THERE IS A PORTION FROM THE APEX THAT'S ALREADY PAVED, SO THAT THEY CAN USE THAT AS AN ACCESS TO THAT PROPERTY. OKAY.BUT ALL THIS WILL BE FACING IS ALL ALLEY FOR THE FOR THE RESIDENTS. THAT'S RIGHT. SO YEAH, GREG, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT THAT IS PART OF THEIR EASEMENT. DO THIS. MY QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE UTILITIES IN THIS ALLEY? I CAN'T TELL FROM THESE PICTURES.
CORRECT. BECAUSE I DON'T SEE A FIRE HYDRANT. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING. YEAH. THERE'S USUALLY MOST OF OUR ALLIES HAVE. YEAH. SEWER LINES OR SOMETHING IN THERE. SO WHEN WE ROUTED IT OUT INTERNALLY, THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT DIDN'T GIVE US AN OBJECTION FOR SOMETHING THEY WOULD HAVE IF IT WAS INTERFERING WITH THEIR LINES. WELL, IT WOULDN'T BE INTERFERING WITH IT IF PEOPLE COULD DRIVE ON IT. BUT THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU PAVE IT NOW, IT BECOMES RESPONSIBILITY OF US TO FIND MANHOLES, PUT MANHOLES IN HERE AND DO ALL OF THAT.
RIGHT NOW, IT PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE MANHOLES IN THERE. SO IF THEY'RE GOING TO PAVE THIS, THEN NOW THAT BECOMES THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PUT ALL, ALL THE MANHOLE COVERS AND EVERYTHING. IF THAT'S A SEWER, SO THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO ROUTE AND CLEAN THE SEWER OUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. CORRECT. BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THEIR PROPERTY.
IT SHOULD BE ON THE ALLEY. IN THE ALLEY. IT'S NOT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PAY THE ALLEY. THEY'RE GOING TO PAY. THE PLANNING AND ZONING WAS 6 TO 0 ON THIS. OKAY. IN FAVOR? YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, ENTERTAIN A MOTION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER OR TABLE IT. DO WE WANT TO DO I.
SO MOVE. THERE'S A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CANAL. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN STOKER. PRESSURE. ELSE IN FAVOR? SAY I. I LS OPPOSED THE SAME SIGNAL A A A CAN I GET A HAND? VOTE, PLEASE. IT'LL BE 4 TO 3. EVERYBODY SAYS FOR IT. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE FOR IT. THANK YOU. OH, I TAKE THAT BACK AGAINST IT. RAISE YOUR HAND. ONE TO 4 TO 3 AGAINST. DIRECTLY REFLECT AGAINST. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT BY IN BETWEEN ODC AND TINY FOOTPRINTS INC FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING A FACADE AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO BUILDING AT THREE TENNESSEE AVENUE, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A DOCUMENT NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE RESOLUTION. COME ON UP HERE, TIM. I'M COMING. ALL RIGHT. COMING IN. HOT. COMING IN. HOT. COMING IN HOT. OKAY. WHAT YOU WHAT WE DID HERE ORIGINALLY. WE PRESENTED THIS TO YOU, THE COUNCIL IN NOVEMBER, AND WE APPROVED A FACADE STRUCTURE. AND I THINK THERE WAS A TOTAL OF $91,312.50. OUR COMPLIANCE REALIZED THAT THEY ACTUALLY QUALIFIED FOR A TOTAL OF 90 410 OR 6905 .55. SO WE SHORTED THEM $2,797.05. WE'RE ASKING YOU TO ALLOW US TO MAKE THAT CORRECTION AND GIVE THEM THAT MONEY. BUT Y'ALL, ALL THE STUFF WAS VOTED ON BACK IN NOVEMBER OKAY. THANKS, JIM. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THE MOTION IS THAT THE ISSUE IS THAT ADDRESS THAT NEW PEDIATRIC CLINIC? YES. IT'S IT'S CALLED TINY GILBERT. IT'S OLD EVANS PHARMACY. EVANS PHARMACY. YEAH OKAY. I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO IN HERE IT DOES SAY ODC WILL MAKE THE PAYMENT. YES. WHERE DOES. BECAUSE WE MAKE THAT CHANGE. WE'RE MAKING SURE THE COUNCIL'S AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. IT NEEDS YOUR APPROVAL FOR THAT. SO ODC WRITES THEM THE CHECK CITY DOESN'T WRITE THEM A CHECK. WELL THE WELL IT'LL BE PROCESSED. THE CITY WILL WRITE THE CHECK ON OUT OF OUR ACCOUNT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. YEAH, I'LL BE RIGHT. AND THE ODYSSEY.
AND THAT'S THROUGH THE BUDGET DEPARTMENT FOR THE CITY. YES. YEAH. ON OUR FACADE. OKAY.
[01:00:04]
FACADE. GRANT. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. MR. MAYOR, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I MOVE. WE APPROVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN. OH, I NEED A LITTLE CLARITY ON WHAT'S THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR? THE AGREEMENT IS SPECIFIC AS TO DOLLAR AMOUNTS. IF THEY'RE MAKING A CHANGE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE THE AGREEMENT. WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT YOU SAID YOU SHORTED THEM? 2000, $2,797.05 WAS WHAT THE OKAY. THANK YOU TIM. THE RESOLUTION TO MAKE IT RIGHT.AND THEN ALSO MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND GET YOUR. AND IS THAT ON THE FACADE OR THE INFRASTRUCTURE. IT'S ON THE FACADE I BELIEVE I WAS I WASN'T ON THE BOARD AT THAT TIME. MAYBE YOU CAN CLARIFY THE TOTAL AMOUNT. CAN MR. MANSKY SPEAK TO IT? I WONDER, CAN MR. IS HE HERE? YES, SIR. MR. YEAH, HE'S BEEN FLOATING AROUND IN THE BACK TRYING TO STAY LOW PROFILE. HE'S TRYING TO HIDE EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING. I HIT HIM LAST TIME. HE HIT WITH HIS CANE, I HIT HIM AND HE'S SO HE'S IF HE'S A LITTLE GUN SHY. GOOD EVENING. YES. THAT NUMBER YOU'RE LOOKING AT, THE 94,000 IS COMBINED BETWEEN THE THE FACADE AND INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THE NUMBER THAT WAS APPROVED BY COMPLIANCE DIDN'T MATCH THE NUMBER ON THE WORKSHEET THAT WE UTILIZE. WE GOT THE BOY BACK IN THE DAY, THE TIME WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO MATCH. WE FOUND OUT LATER THEY NEEDED TO MATCH. AND WE BROUGHT THE THE ATTENTION TO THE BOARD, THE ODC BOARD, AND THEN THEY REVIEWED IT, APPROVED THE NEW NUMBER.
NOW THEY'RE BRINGING IT PER POLICY TO CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THAT NUMBER ALSO. BUT THEN THAT CHECK SHOULD COME FROM YOU. RIGHT. WELL, I MEAN IN THE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT THE CITY HAS WITH ODC, THEY DO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING AND CHECK WRITING AND THAT STUFF ON BEHALF OF THE ODC. IT'S CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO COME FROM THE PERSON BECAUSE OF THE BALANCE. I SEE RIGHT HERE. WE'RE HERE. IT'S COMING TO THIS ACCOUNT. ALL RIGHT. AND THAT'S BEEN THE AGREEMENT AS LONG AS I KNOW. YEAH, YEAH. THE WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I MEAN, I HEARD YOU TALKING. I COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT Y'ALL ARE. SO WHAT'S THE. I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR. WHAT'S THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT DOLLAR AMOUNT. BECAUSE RIGHT HERE UNDER OUR CONTRACT, IT'S. $69,109.55 FOR BUILDING FACADE GRANT. AND UP TO 25 AFTER THE 2025 PORTION OF THE 69 WOULD BE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO IT'S THE TOTAL IS 94 155. CORRECT? OKAY. THAT'S THE ONLY THING I NEED TO BE CLEAR OF THAT. THAT FINAL NUMBER IS CORRECT. THAT'S IN OUR AGREEMENT. RIGHT. OKAY. AND COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ HAS MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN THOMPSON? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION TO ANIMUS. THANK YOU. TOM. THANKS, TOM. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13. CONSIDER AND DISCUSS RESOLUTION FOR THE ADOPTION OF A HAZARDOUS MITIGATION ACTION PLAN UPDATE. CHIEF OSCAR O. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO WE'RE HERE TO TAKE THE NEXT STEPS IN GETTING THE APPROVAL OF THE HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION PLAN UPDATE. IT'S A COMBINED, COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN ECTOR COUNTY, THE CITY OF ODESSA, AND THE H2O. H2O PARTNER SOLUTIONS THAT WE DEVELOPED THIS LAST YEAR. IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND APPROVED BY THEM. IT'S ALSO BEEN SUBMITTED TO FEMA, AND IT HAS BEEN APPROVED AND IT'S PENDING APPROVED, PENDING ADOPTION. SO WE'RE JUST TAKING THE NEXT STEP IN THAT PROCESS. PROCESS, GENTLEMEN. ANY QUESTIONS? IS THIS SO YOU CAN GET THE GRANT FUNDS RIGHT.
CORRECT. THERE ARE THERE ARE CERTAIN GRANTS THAT FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS THAT WE'D HAVE TO HAVE A HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION PLAN IN PLACE IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THOSE GENTLEMEN. NO OTHER QUESTIONS. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SO MOVED MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HAYNES THERE. A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MITCHELL. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. STEVE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEM 14.
CONSIDER ACCEPTANCE OF A PETITION FOR THE CREATION OF DEER MEADOW PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, A BID IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 372 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, AND SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JANUARY 27TH, 2026. THAT'S BETH. HELLO. THANK YOU. THIS MORNING.
SO WE ARE HERE. THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF BRINGING THE PIT. SO THEY DR. HORTON ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THE PETITION TO BRING IN THIS PIT. WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY START AT WHAT IS A PIT?
[01:05:02]
I THINK MOST OF Y'ALL CAME IN WHEN WE WERE FINISHING THE VERY FIRST PIT. SO A PIT IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IS A TOOL FOR MUNICIPALITIES LIKE THE CITY OF ODESSA TO ENHANCE THE COMMUNITY SERVICES OF THAT IN THIS PIT THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING. THEY'RE TELLING US THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE APPROXIMATELY 552 RESIDENTIAL HOMES. THERE'S GOING TO BE ONE COMMUNITY PARK AND TWO DETENTION BASINS, AND SOME OF THOSE DETENTION BASINS WOULD ACTUALLY PLAY IN LIKE A DOG PARK AS WELL. NOW, THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT IS THAT IT BRINGS IN THE BEAUTIFICATION.IT'S THE UTILITY ASSISTANCE AND IT'S LONG TERM MAINTENANCE. SO WE'RE FEEDING INTO A FUND THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUNDS SO THAT WE CAN USE IT FOR ALL THESE AS IT GOES THROUGH. ALL WE'RE ASKING TODAY IS FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THE PETITION, AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK AGAIN WITH THE LATER DATE FOR THE PETITION ITSELF. THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN. ANY QUESTIONS? NOT A GREAT IDEA TO ME, MAYOR. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE THAT I DIDN'T HEAR IS, HAS THE NOTICE FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE BEEN PUBLISHED FOR THE HEARING? BECAUSE THE THE RESOLUTION PROVIDES THAT IN THE STATE LAW PROVIDES THAT THE NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING OR TRYING TO SCHEDULE THAT THAT NOTICE HAS TO BE PUBLISHED AT LEAST 15TH DAY BEFORE THE DATE OF THE HEARING. SO WE'RE ALREADY PAST THAT. HAS THAT ALREADY BEEN DONE? NO, THAT WAS NOT DONE. YOU CAN'T CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING YET. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO GET THAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE IT OUT. CAN WE AM I ABLE TO BRING THAT IN IN FEBRUARY 10TH? YEAH, FEBRUARY. YOU JUST HAVE TO BECAUSE OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE TWO WEEKS APART. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUBLISH THE NOTICE OF THE HEARING BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING IN ORDER TO REACH THE SATISFY THE STATUTE. OKAY. OKAY. WE CAN HANDLE THAT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S VOTE TO TABLE THAT FOR NOW. HOW DOES THAT SOUND. WOULD WE HAVE THE TABLE THAT. WELL I GUESS THAT'S CAN WE JUST CHANGE THE DATE. YEAH YOU MIGHT AS WELL BECAUSE. BECAUSE YOUR AGENDA ITEM INCLUDES CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR JANUARY 27TH. SO REALLY, I MEAN, THE WHOLE PURPOSE HERE IS TO CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING, OKAY. SO YOU JUST NEED TO YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE NOTICE PUBLISHED BEFORE YOU CALL PUBLIC HEARING. THESE PITS ARE VERY NEW AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. NO PROBLEM. THESE PADS ARE NEW. WE'RE LEARNING ALL THE TIME. HOW ABOUT A MOTION TO TABLE? I'M MOVE THAT. WE TABLE THIS AGENDA ITEM 14. ALL RIGHT.
IT'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VAZQUEZ THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN THOMPSON. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. MOTION UNANIMOUS. WE'LL TABLE THAT IN THIS TIME. THANK YOU. ELIZABETH. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 15. CONSIDER AMENDING THE HOTEL MOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX ORDINANCE TO UPDATE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX PROVISIONS BY ADDING DEFINITIONS AND TAX ADMINISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS AND SHORT TERM RENTAL PLATFORMS. ELIZABETH, YOU THOUGHT YOU GOT RID OF ME. THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO THIS ITEM IS TO PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 11, ARTICLE 11 TWO OF THE CITY CODE, WHICH GOVERNS THE CITY HOTEL MOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. THE PURPOSE FOR THIS AMENDMENT IS TO UPDATE THE ORDINANCE TO CLARIFY THE CLEARLY INCLUDE SHORT TERM RENTALS AND SHORT TERM RENTALS PLATFORMS TO OUR TAX FOR TAX PURPOSES. WHAT WOULD IT REALLY ENTITLE OR WHAT IS THIS ORDINANCE REALLY DOING? IT WILL DEFINE A SHORT TERM RENTALS AS AS TO STAY FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS AND FOR TAX PURPOSE ONLY TREAT SHORT TERM RENTALS THE SAME WAY AS HOTELS FOR HOTEL OCCUPANCY, TAX COLLECTION, AND APPLIES THE EXISTING 7% FOR THE OCCUPANCY OCCUPANCY TAX, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY FEE, SUCH AS A CLEANING OR FOR PET FEES. SO. SORRY. ADMINISTRATIVELY, WHAT WILL THIS DO? THAT MEANS THAT WE WILL BE HAVING A QUARTERLY REPORT IN REGARDS TO THIS, THE CITY IS AUTHORIZING TO REVIEW RECORDS AND CONDUCT AUDITS AND PENALTIES, APPLY TO FAILURE TO COLLECT, REPORT OR TO REMIT THE TAX. MR. MAYOR. YES, SIR. THIS THIS ORDINANCE WOULD FIT WHAT WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING. I HAVE TO JUST THINKING THE SAME THING. SO THIS THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD APPLY THIS TO MAVERICKS DEAL OVER HERE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS.
IT'S YEAH, IT'S DEAL LESS THAN 30. IT'S JUST YOUR IT'S SHORT TERM RENTAL. WHAT ABOUT DO WE CAPTURE THE AIRBNBS AND ALL THE OTHER. THIS IS WHAT THIS CAPTURES ALL OF THAT OKAY. YEAH.
THE THE APARTMENTS OVER HERE. THE SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT THAT WE KEEP MISSING OUT ON.
SORRY. YES WE DID I WOULD SAY WE DON'T. WELL WE DON'T NOW. WE DON'T NOW THAT'S THE THIS WAS
[01:10:05]
THE CURE TO THAT. YEAH. AS WELL AS THE CURE TO HELPING US DEFINE WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS EITHER MORE. SHORT TERM APARTMENT. I MEAN, APARTMENT STAYS LONG TERM VERSUS, YOU KNOW, HOTEL MOTEL SO WE CAN GET OUR TAX. OKAY. SO MY QUESTION IS, CAN WE BRING MAVERICK BACK UP NOW THAT WE TABLED IT. NO. TABLED. THIS IS THIS IS AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD REQUIRE TWO READINGS READINGS READINGS. RIGHT. SO WE COULD DO BASICALLY MAVERICK RIGHT AFTER THAT. AND THERE'S ALSO AND YOU KNOW THIS THIS WOULD TAKE TWO READINGS. BUT WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT WE ALSO NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP AS WELL. AND THAT IS MY IS WE NEED TO DETERMINE WHERE THESE THINGS CAN EVEN BE. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IN OUR ORDINANCE, WE DON'T SAY WHERE STRS CAN BE LOCATED AND CANNOT BE LOCATED, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY AT ANY GIVEN TIME ABOUT WHAT IS IT? FIVE IS THERE'S 500. THERE'S LIKE 500 STRS OPERATING AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN THE CITY OF ODESSA, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY IN PLACE YET THAT AUTHORIZES WHERE THEY CAN EVEN BE. SO THAT'S ANOTHER COMPONENT TO THIS AS WELL. WE CERTAINLY NEED TO DEFINE WHAT AN STR IS, AND WE CERTAINLY NEED TO DEFINE THE SHORT TERM RENTAL PLATFORM, BECAUSE THAT PLATFORM IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO USE TO MONITOR AND TO COLLECT THE TAX OF ALL THE STARS WHEN, WHEN WE GET THERE. BUT THERE'S ANOTHER COMPONENT, AND I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE THIS, MAYBE NOT AT THE NEXT MEETING, BUT AT LEAST IN FEBRUARY INTO THE ZONING AUTHORIZING WHERE THEY CAN BE LOCATED. OKAY. AND HOW IS THE FINE DETERMINED ZERO FORMULA? THE THE FINE FOR THIS? I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT AT THIS POINT, BUT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN A HOTEL THAT DOESN'T THAT DOESN'T PAY FOR IT. THAT'S CORRECT. RIGHT NOW HOTELS ARE COLLECTING AT 7%. AND IN THE ORDINANCE WE HAVE IT ALSO AS 7%. OKAY. I THINK THAT'S SO SEVEN STEP ONE TONIGHT. THAT'S STEP ONE. YES, SIR. STEP ONE. STEP ONE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.SO OTHER THOUGHTS. MY COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW HOW A HOW DO WE TRACK THEM. HOW ARE WE GOING TO TRACK. WE WOULD TRACK THEM THROUGH THAT THIRD PARTY. THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. BECAUSE THAT'S THE SIMPLEST WAY TO DO IT. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPANIES THAT CAN DO THAT FOR US. WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH GRANICUS AS A WAY TO DO THAT, AND SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER STEP. ACTUALLY. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PROPOSAL IN PLACE. AND SO TO GO IN TANDEM WITH ALL OF THESE PROCESSES, ALL OF THESE APPROVALS FOR SECOND READING, WE WOULD ALSO HAVE ON THAT AGENDA A PROPOSAL FROM GRANICUS TO ACTUALLY CARRY IT THIS OUT AND ADMINISTER THIS FOR US. AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WOULD COLLECT IT AND THEN SEND US THE MONEY BACK. THAT'S WHAT I THAT WAS MY SECOND QUESTION. I THOUGHT THAT GRANICUS DID ALL THE LEGWORK ON IT. GRANICUS DOES A LOT OF THINGS. AND YOU KNOW, FROM FROM HOW WE VIEW OUR, OUR MEETINGS ONLINE TO ANOTHER THING, WHICH IS HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX ADMINISTRATION FOR STRS. OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SO MOVED. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HANEY. IS THERE A SECOND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MCCONNELL? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTIONS. UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 16. CONSIDER APPOINTMENT ONE OR MORE. MAYOR PRO TEM. NORMA. YES. MAYOR. COUNCIL. THE CITY CHARTER PROVIDES IN SECTION 53 PROVIDES THAT ONE OR MORE MAYOR PRO TEM BE APPOINTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO PERFORM THE DUTIES AND THE ABSENCE OF YOU, MAYOR. SO IT'S FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION FOR MAYOR PRO TEM. ALL RIGHT, JIM, IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? I WILL MAKE A MOTION. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. ONE MAN WRAPPED IN MY MY RIGHT OVER HERE, MR. VASQUEZ.
HERE AS BEING THE SECOND MAYOR PRO TEM TO HELP US OUT, BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S GOT FREE TIME TO GO DO THE REST OF US DO ANYTHING ELSE? HE AIN'T DOING NOTHING ELSE. BUT IN OTHER WORDS, HE AIN'T GOT NOTHING ELSE TO. BUT I THINK HE WOULD BE A GREAT REPRESENTATIVE FOR ALL OF US.
HE'S FAIR, ACCURATE, AND AND HE DOES A DISTINGUISHED. OH YEAH. AND AND THAT TO BE TALKING ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY IS HE WAS A PRETTY GOOD HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, A PRETTY GOOD
[01:15:01]
BASEBALL COACH. BUT HE WAS OLD THEN, SO I DON'T KNOW. AND HE NEEDS TO KEEP YOU IN LINE TO MAKE. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S A MOTION. THAT'S THE ONE REASON WHY WE'RE PICKING IT. NO, WE'RE AT THE DISCUSSION LEVEL RIGHT NOW. YES, SIR. FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT BROUGHT IT ON, BUT THAT WAS VERY COMPLIMENTARY OF ALL OF YOU. HOW MUCH EXTRA DOES IT PAY? YEAH. OH, WE'LL PASS THE BOWL OF CANDY DOWN. I'M ALL THE TRICKS YOU CAN EAT UP. I FEEL HONORED AND PRIVILEGED. I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO BE CALLED ON BY THE MAYOR OR THE CITY SECRETARY IN THE ABSENCE OF THE MAYOR. SO I ACCEPT THE THE NOMINATION. NOW. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN THOMPSON.ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOST UNANIMOUS. NO. IT WAS I SAID NO. 6 TO 1. YEAH.
