SO IT WILL BE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THE TOTAL PRICE $897,762.50. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? STILL TAKING THAT LONG TO GET EQUIPMENT. UNBELIEVABLE. OKAY. WE'LL HAVE THE BOXES ON THIS AGENDA. BUT WE WON'T HAVE THE TRUCKS UNTIL NEXT BUDGETARY YEAR. RIGHT. WELL, THAT THE PRICE INCLUDES EVERYTHING. OKAY. SO WE'RE PLANNING ON THAT. WE WILL BE BUDGETING FOR THAT. 
          OKAY. YES, SIR. FANTASTIC. ANY QUESTIONS GUYS. IF NOT, ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOVE APPROVAL. SECOND MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN THOMPSON. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MITCHELL. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. LET'S GO TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. CONSIDER AWARDING A CONTRACT TO OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY FOR THE MODERNIZATION OF ELEVATORS AT CITY HALL AND MUNICIPAL PLAZA. THE AMOUNT OF $446,000. SCOTT. 
          YES, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL AND MAYOR. THIS AGENDA ITEM AUTHORIZES OTIS ELEVATOR TO PERFORM MODERNIZATION SERVICES TO TWO ELEVATORS HERE AT CITY HALL AND ONE ELEVATOR AT MUNICIPAL PLAZA. THESE ELEVATORS WERE INSTALLED IN 1969, SO THEY'RE ALMOST AS OLD AS I AM. SO? SO THEY'VE REACHED THEIR USEFUL SERVICEABILITY, LIFE EXPECTANCY. THE MODERNIZATION WILL IMPROVE SAFETY, RELIABILITY, AND LONG TERM OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY. 
          THE TOTAL COST, AS YOU SAID MAYOR, IS $446,625.31. THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET ITEM THAT YOU DID APPROVE AT THE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2526. OTIS, I WILL SAY THAT OTIS DID MODERNIZE THE TWO ELEVATORS AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK THAT THEY DID THERE. SO I'LL HAVE I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. IS THE ELEVATOR PLAZA EVEN OLDER THAN THESE ELEVATORS? IT'S A MUCH OLDER BUILDING. IT'S PROBABLY A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN THAT. YES. OKAY. HEY, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THEM TO DO AN ELEVATOR TO MODERNIZE THIS ONE? ARE THESE GETTING IN AND OUT? BY THE TIME WE WE GET THE CONTRACT SIGNED AND THEY GET ALL THE MATERIALS ORDERED BECAUSE THE CAB INTERIORS ARE SPECIAL ORDER. SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A LEAD TIME TO GET THOSE IN. BUT WE WON'T TAKE MUNICIPAL PLAZA DOWN UNTIL ALL THE PARTS ARE HERE AND READY TO GO. NOW WE CAN DO THE ELEVATORS HERE AT CITY HALL ONE AT A TIME. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 120 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE JOB, AS LONG AS THEY IN A YEAR OR SOMETHING. NO, THAT'S STARTING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM. ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION? I THINK WE JUST NEED TO SHUT DOWN ALL THE ELEVATORS. EVERYBODY TAKE STAIRS. LET'S GET INTO THE EXERCISE PROGRAM. GOOD EXERCISE, WOULDN'T IT, COTTON TO HAUL THEM UP AND DOWN? I THINK WE OUGHT TO. SOUNDS A GOOD IDEA. UNLESS YOU WORK IN THAT BUILDING. I DON'T WORK IN THAT BUILDING. SO THEREFORE, DID YOU SEE ALEX LOOK AT YOU WHEN YOU SAID THAT? YEAH. IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA UNTIL YOU WORK IN THE BUILDING AND YOU GOT TO CARRY A DESK UP AND DOWN. JUST JUST ONE THING TO ADD, MAYOR. WE ARE DOING. WE'RE ON THE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING BASICALLY A STUDY FOR ALL OF OUR FACILITIES ASSESSMENTS AND 
          [00:10:03]
WHETHER THERE IS A NEED TO EVENTUALLY REPLACE THIS BUILDING OR THE OTHER BUILDING. 
          AND I THINK EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE. BUT REALISTICALLY, JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, THAT'S PROBABLY FIVE, TEN YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, MAYBE EVEN LONGER. SO EVEN THOUGH WE WE MAY GET A STUDY THAT SAYS THAT THIS BUILDING HAS REACHED KIND OF THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME THINGS TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR WHILE WE HAVE IT. AND SO EVEN THOUGH THIS IS EXPENSIVE, IT IS REALLY JUST THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR FOLKS ARE SAFE. ABSOLUTELY. THAT WILL THAT WAS SHUT DOWN FOR A WHILE, WASN'T IT? THAT ELEVATOR? YES, SIR. SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE GETTING SO OBSOLETE. THEY HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THEM SO. AND FOR THAT ONE WE WILL WORK WITH STAFF. SO IF THERE ARE FOLKS THAT HAVE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE'LL KNOW WELL AHEAD OF TIME AND WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THEM ELSEWHERE. 
          GOTCHA. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SO MOVED MOTION BY COUNCILMAN HANEY. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND BY COUNCILMAN VAZQUEZ. 
          ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. THANKS, SCOTT. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM. MISCELLANEOUS. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ALL CITY OF ODESSA COMMISSIONS AND BOARD APPOINTMENTS, INCLUDING APPOINTMENT, REAPPOINTMENT, REVIEWING, AND MODIFICATION, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING. THE BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS. NORM. IS IT NORMA? YES. SO YES. THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL. SO THIS BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS, THEY HAVE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE TO FIND SOME CITIZENS TO SERVE BECAUSE AS IT REQUIRES AN ARCHITECT, ENGINEER, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, A PLUMBER, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL AND TWO ALTERNATES AS WELL AS A CITIZEN. SO WE ARE I'M WORKING WITH GARY OWENS BUILDING OFFICIAL TO HELP ME TO HELP US FIND. TO HELP US AND TO HELP US FIND POSSIBLE MEMBERS TO SERVE ON THE BOARD CANDIDATES. THERE'S SOME HAVE BEEN SOME CANDIDATES THAT APPLIED, BUT ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS TO LIVE INSIDE CITY LIMITS. SO IT KICKS TWO OF THE APPLICANTS THAT SUBMITTED THEIR APPLICATIONS IN. RIGHT NOW I HAVE CRUZ CASTILLO, WHO HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION AND COULD FILL IN THE ROLE AS AN ARCHITECT ARCHITECT. RIGHT. 
          DETROIT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION, AND SHE COULD FILL IN THE ROLE AS AN ALTERNATE OR AS A CITIZEN. OKAY, SO. THIS DISCUSSION CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THE ABILITY TO WRITE TICKETS OR NOT. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS WE CAN'T ISSUE THE TICKETS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE BOARD OF APPEALS APPEAL TO. RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S HOW THIS KIND OF RE-ACTIVATED THIS CONVERSATION. AND IN STUDYING THE BOARD OF APPEALS AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO POPULATE THIS BOARD, MY DISCUSSION WITH MISTER PARKER AND UNDERSTANDING THIS, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ONLY REASON IT IS THIS DIFFICULT IS BECAUSE OF OUR OWN ORDINANCE. AND THAT IS NOT IN STATE LAW, THAT THESE POSITIONS REQUIRE THE THE LICENSURE THAT THAT OUR ORDINANCE IS REQUIRING. AND MISTER PARKER AND I HAD A DISCUSSION THIS WEEK ABOUT PERHAPS PUTTING ON THE WORK SESSION. LOOKING INTO OUR ORDINANCE SURROUNDING NOT ONLY THIS COMMITTEE, BUT LOOKING AT OUR ORDINANCES, PERIOD. AND SOMETHING THAT HE AND I DISCUSSED WERE, WERE PERHAPS CREATING LIKE WE DID THE HOT FUND AND THE CDBG FUND, AN ORDINANCE AND A POLICY COMMITTEE WITH ALL OF US TO TO START GOING THROUGH THESE THINGS. BUT, YOU KNOW, SINCE SINCE THIS IS ABOUT THE BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS, SOMETHING THAT THE IPMC A LOT OF CITIES HAVE ADOPTED THEIR CODE. A LOT OF OUR CODE COMES FROM THAT. BUT THERE IS AN APPENDIX IN THERE THAT SAYS AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS STUFF, THEY QUALIFY. BECAUSE IF YOU GO LOOK AT A TOWN LIKE COLEMAN, TEXAS, YOU'RE NOT EVER GOING TO FIND AN ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER, PLUMBER AND ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR AND ALL THESE ALTERNATES. SO THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. THAT'S SOMETHING HE AND I VISITED ABOUT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO NOT NECESSARILY TABLE THIS, BUT TO PUT ON THE WORK SESSION FOR NEXT TIME, AMENDING OUR ORDINANCE FOR THE BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS SO THAT WE CAN NOT DO AWAY WITH THE PROFESSIONALS, BUT TO GET OUT OF OUR OWN WAY. WE HAVE MADE IT DIFFICULT ON OURSELVES THROUGH THIS ORDINANCE. SO LOOKING AT OUR ORDINANCE TO TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT EASIER. MAYOR, 
          [00:15:07]
IF I CAN. SURE. OKAY. WHAT THIS WHAT WE SEE ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE IS ACTUALLY JUST COMING OUT OF THE OUT OF THE STANDARD INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE AND THE APPENDIX. THAT'S WHAT THEY GO WITH. SO WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE CITY OF ODESSA ADOPTED THAT CODE IN THE 2018 THEY ADOPTED, WHEN THEY ADOPTED THE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE, THAT AMENDMENT PORTION, THEY JUST BROUGHT ALL OF THAT FORWARD, AS IT STANDS IN THE DEFAULT FORM, INTERNATIONAL CODE. AND SO WHAT MANY CITIES DO IS THEY AMEND THAT PART WHEN THEY DO AMENDMENTS AND THEY JUST THEY SET THEIR OWN CRITERIA. THEY GET RID OF THEY DON'T NECESSARILY ADOPT ALL THOSE CRITERIA. THEY MAY EVEN CHANGE THE NAME OF THE BOARD. A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL GO WITH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. THEY'LL CHANGE THE BOARD OF APPEALS. THAT BOARD OF BUILDING, BOARD OF APPEALS IS THE IBC LANGUAGE, INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE LANGUAGE. SOME CITIES CALL IT BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, SOME CITIES CALL IT CITY OF WHATEVER HOUSING COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, OR BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION. THAT'S WHEN THEY CHANGE AND THEY MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT FOR THEMSELVES. AND THEN THEY AMEND ALL THESE, THESE PARTICULAR PROFESSIONS, AND THEY AMEND IT TO WHAT FITS THAT PARTICULAR CITY. SO CITY OF ODESSA CAN, IF THEY BY ADOPTING AMENDMENTS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY REVISE THE, THE THE MEMBERSHIP MAKEUP HOWEVER COUNCIL WANTS TO. SO THERE'S THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT'S THERE BECAUSE THAT'S THE DEFAULT. AND WHAT'S THE IBC. IBC PUTS THAT THERE AS A AS A GUIDE. YOU CAN. IT'S PERFECTLY NOTHING WRONG WITH ADOPTING THAT. THE CITY DID NOTHING WRONG. IT'S JUST SOMETIMES YOU RUN INTO WHEN YOU ADOPT IT STRAIGHT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE, YOU MAY HAVE A LITTLE TROUBLE FINDING THOSE PROFESSIONS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW. CAN I ASK YOU, SINCE IT WAS AMENDED IN 2018, HAS THIS COMMITTEE FUNCTION? SINCE THEN THERE HAS NOT BEEN THEY HAVE NOT MET, THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN APPEAL. SO SEEMS TO ME THE REQUIREMENTS ARE ALTHOUGH. WELL, WELL UNDERSTOOD, MAYBE DIFFICULT TO FEEL, AND A LOT OF CITIES THAT AREN'T THE SIZE OF A DALLAS OR HOUSTON, I MEAN, AND EVEN DALLAS AND HOUSTON DOESN'T EVEN SOMETIMES GO WITH THESE. THEY THEY SET THEIR OWN CRITERIA. SO SOMETIMES THEY JUST GO WITH, YOU KNOW, WHAT FITS THEM BEST. SO I MEAN, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE, IS THAT WHEN COUNCIL COMES BACK AND DOES AN AMENDMENT OR YOU COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE ORDINANCE AND THROUGH AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE, BECAUSE IT WAS ADOPTED AS PART OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE 2018 CODE. BUT IF COUNCIL WISHES, THEY CAN ADOPT AMENDMENTS AND CHANGE THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD IF YOU'RE NOT, IF THE IF THE CITY IS NOT ABLE TO FILL, FIND PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL AND ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERS AND ALL THOSE PARTICULAR PROFESSIONS, COUNCIL CAN JUST AMEND THOSE REGULATIONS TO DICTATE AND SET THE SET THE SET THE MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BOARD, WHAT THEY USUALLY DO. I'LL JUST REAL QUICK WHAT THEY USUALLY DO, WHAT I'VE USUALLY SEEN IS THEY WILL JUST USUALLY AMEND THE LANGUAGE TO REQUIRE MEMBERS TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN PLUMBING EXPERIENCE AS A BUILDER EXPERIENCE AND MECHANICAL OR CONSTRUCTION TRADES. AND SO THEY GET. BUT THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE LICENSED PLUMBERS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE A LICENSED ENGINEER. IT'S JUST MAKES IT A LITTLE EASIER TO FILL THOSE VACANCIES. OKAY. DO WE NEED A MOTION TO PUT THAT ON THE NEXT WORKSHOP OR I CAN I CAN JUST IF THERE'S ANY ACTION TO TAKE TONIGHT, WE CAN'T FILL IT IN. I MEAN, WE COULD FILL, BUT I MEAN, MY THOUGHT IS JUST WAIT UNTIL WE REDO, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MOTION TO TABLE THEN OR YOU DON'T. 
          THERE'S NO ACTION, NO ACTIONS NEEDED. I WILL REQUEST THE ITEM TO BE PLACED ON THE WORKSHOP. 
          FANTASTIC. ALL RIGHT. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TEN PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551 .101, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HOLD EXECUTIVE SESSION, WHICH IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING MATTERS AS PERMITTED UNDER THE FOLLOWING SECTION OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. SUBSECTION A, SECTION 551 .074 PERSONNEL MATTERS TO DELIBERATE THE APPOINTMENT, EMPLOYMENT EVALUATION, REASSIGNMENT DUTIES, AND DISCIPLINE OF THE PRESIDING MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE AND ASSOCIATE MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE. DO I NEED A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION? SO MOVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VAZQUEZ THERE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN HANEY SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE AND JUST, THEY JUST LEFT YOU LITTLE MESSAGES ALL THROUGHOUT GETTING A MOTION TO COME OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. I'LL MOVE. 
          SO MOVE MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VAZQUEZ THERE A SECOND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN HANEY. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. BACK IN GENERAL SESSION AT 6:41 P.M. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION. THREE MOTIONS. GENTLEMEN, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT, PROMOTE JUDGE RODRIGUEZ UP TO. ELDERLY JUDGE TO PRESIDING JUDGE, AND THAT WE RAISE THE SALARY TO 155. 
          [00:20:02]
THERE'S A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN THOMPSON? ANY DISCUSSION? IF NOT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
