No persons were present to speak.
Public Hearing closed at 6:35 PM
H Public Hearing for the voluntary annexation into the city limits of 10.304 acres, more or less, in the William
Roberts Survey, located at the intersection of Shell Road and Bellaire Drive -- Jordan J. Maddox, AICP,
Principal Planner and Elizabeth A. Cook, Community Development Director

No persons were present to speak.
Public Hearing was closed at 6:36 PM
1 Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance Rezoning approximately 37.21 acres in the Stubblefield
Survey, from the Residential Single -Family (RS) District, as recorded in Document Number 2009090679, to the
General Commercial (C-3) and Local Commercial (C-1) Districts -- Mike Elabarger, Planner III and Elizabeth
Cook, Community Development Director
Elabarger introduced himself and showed Council a map of the request for rezoning. He said this area is located
at the southeast corner of 1-35 and University Avenue. He showed Council an aerial view of the site. He said
along 29 there is an electrical utility complex and a small retail center called copper ridge. He said the existing
zoning of the property is RS- Residential. He described what the applicant is requesting in terms of rezoning to
C-1 and C3 districts. He said they took this application to the Planing and Zoning Commission and added it was
approved it 6-1. He said the applicant spoke at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting regarding the
landowners access. He said there could be connectivity between the existing retail and this site but noted the
applicant said he would prefer not to have connectivity. He said all of those decisions are to be made in the
future and added staff would have to determine where the access to this property would be from. He said none
of this is set in stone. He said there is staff here tonight if council has questions about transportation in the area.
He said staff is in support of this application. Elabarger read only the caption of the Ordinance on first reading
after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter.
Public Hearing was opened at 6:41 PM
No persons were present to speak.
Public Hearing was closed at 6:41 PM
Motion by Hellmann, Berryman to approve the Ordinance on first reading.
Jonrowe asked about the potential traffic impacts of this on University Avenue. She said there are people in her
district that are already concerned about the traffic around the HEB. Berryman agreed with Jonrowe and added
the solution may be to move the light at that intersection to a different location. She said there is a problem with
the light at HEB and added the light should be back away from 35 and farther up 29. She noted this may be a
good opportunity to add a light at this intersection. Polasek said there is two solutions to this intersection.
Polasek said the light at HEB was a commission decision straight through TXDOT. He said moving the light
would meet the separation requirements much better. Berryman said she would like to explore that option
because she would like to address the mobility in that area. Polasek said that area consistently is on the Top 20
list for congestion in the TXDOT region. Sattler agreed with Berryman and said it is a terrible intersection. He
noted, if you move that traffic light, it would it impede the traffic coming out of copper ridge. Polasek said if you
move the light, there would have to be connectiivty. Sattler asked and Elabarger said there have been no site
submittals for this area as of yet. .

J Discussion and possible action on recommendations from the Ethics Commission on amendments to the
City's Ethics Ordinance and Hearing Procedures -- Walt Herbert, Chair, Ethics Commission
Herbert brought forward the recommended changes from the Ethics Commission. He said a list of the proposed
changes have been provided to the Council. He spoke about how serious the Ethics Commission takes these
matters. He noted the Commission wants to make sure there are no ambiguities and uncertainties in this
Ordinance and the Hearing Process. He gave one example of where the Commission made a change in order to
take away any ambiguities in the complaint process. Brettle spoke about how these recommended changes, if
approved, would be brought forward in an Ordinance making those changes official. Mayor asked and Herbert
continued to describe the recommended changes to the Ethics Ordinance.
Berryman spoke about the issue of the term properly filed being replaced by "received." She disagreed with that
change. She said this is a serious matter and added someone going through the trouble filing a complaint
should be held to a certain standard and there should be a filing standard. Berryman spoke about the term
commanded be replaced by "requested" on a filing form. She said she feels the term needs to be more harsh
than requested. Herbert asked and Mayor said the Council should concentrate on the Ordinance changes first
and then Hearing Procedures. Jonrowe thanked Mr. Herbert and the Commission that has worked on this
Ordinance. She said she appreciates the time and dedication that has been spent on this.
Motion by Jonrowe, second by Berryman to approve the proposed changes to the Ethics Ordinance. Approved
7-0
Herbert spoke regarding the change to the term "properly filed" in the Hearing Procedures. He said it is certainly
not their desire to regard this is a casual matter or to lighten the load on people bringing a complaint. He said
they wished to make this language clear in the absence of any description of what is a "proper filing." He noted,
after the complaints are received, the Commission goes through a considerable deliberation to determine
whether or not that complaint is proper. He said there are no particular provisions that surround the moment of
filing. He said the language of the hearing procedures refers to the receipt of a complaint. Berryman said the
Commission needs to have some specifics much the way they do in a court of law. Berryman said she thinks the
Commission needs to determine what "properly filed" means. She said she has a problem with the idea that
anyone can come in with an accusation. She continued to describe her issues with the filing requirements.
Herbert said there are standards that allow the Commission to make a distinction between what are valid
complaints and what are not. Berryman said she believes the initial complaint should have requirements. Eason
said she believes that the first section of the Ordinance called Initial Matters deals with the requirements a
person must meet when filing. She noted she thinks all of Berryman's issues are defined and this is just a
semantic matter. Herbert referred to a section in the Ordinance that lays out a detailed account of what needs
to be brought before the Commission. He noted the act of filing is different than what is filed. Hellmann asked
about adding the word "received" to the end and make it "properly filed and received." Herbert said it is good we
are having the discussion now so that the question of what is property filed does not come up in the future.
Hellmann asked what would happen if someone turned in a complaint that is incomplete. Herbert said the
Ordinance addresses the fact that incomplete complaints would be thrown out. Meigs asked and Herbert said he
is just referring to a time when the clock starts after a complaint is "properly filed." Sattler asked and Herbert
said their Commission does not have the power to sanction anything or impose repercussions on anyone that
files a frivolous complaint.
Herbert described the rest of the recommended changes to the Hearing Procedures. He spoke about how the
Commission takes this whole matter very seriously. He said if there is a hearing, at certain stage of the game, a
party will feel it better to attack the process and make the City look like fools. Herbert said the Commission
would like to avoid that. Berryman asked about the use of the term requested instead of commanded in the
form. She suggested that Council use the term "required" instead. Eason agreed with Berryman about the word
"required." Meigs said he thinks required is just as strong as commanded. He asked who is going to enforce
that issue. Berryman said the failure of someone to follow the request would become part of the material in
making the determination. Gonzalez asked if it is proper to asked the Commission to review some of these
concerns based on the language or have a Workshop to discuss these recommendations. Herbert said he
would much rather have the one word change done right now instead of convening the Commission. He said
that would be asking a lot of his colleagues. Jonrowe asked if there is wording regarding if there are less than
eight people on the Commission sometime in the future. Herbert said there may come a day where the
Commission has more members but noted there are other things that will happen in the future that will require
changes. He said members tend to be very faithful in attending the meetings but noted a majority of the people
on the Commission should be required to act on something like this. He spoke about the rational that lies
behind the number that is chosen. There was much discussion regarding the amount of people attending the
City Council Meeting Minutes/

meetings and Commission attendance. Brettle spoke about how when the Commission meets again in March,
they are required to review the Ordinance once more. Jonrowe said she thinks this is something that is very
important and she noted it would be worth it to make this part of a Workshop the next time the Commission
comes back with future recommendations. Berryman asked and Herbert said the Commission would love for
people to attend their meetings.
Motion by Berryman, second by Sattler to accept all of the revisions to the hearing procedures with the change
that the word commanded be changed to required. Approved 7-0
K Consideration and possible action for the selection of a construction cost option for the Public Safety
Operations and Training Facility -- Terry Jones, Support Services Director and Micki Rundell Chief Financial
Officer
Rundell provided a summary of what has been discussed regarding moving forward with the construction of the
public safety facility. She said Council has asked staff to come back with Options 1, 2, or a hybrid phased in
facility, to discuss costs. She said staff went back to match the sizing to the current needs. She spoke about
Option 1 and how it is for the full facility at 70,000 square feet and up to $20 million. She noted this includes the
tactical building and the furniture and fixtures. She said it has net operations of a little less than half of a cent.
She said on a 20 year bond, the tax impact would be about 5 cents. She said, if the City did a 25 year bond
which she would recommend, it is less than 5 cents and around 4.87. She described Option 1.5, which is a
phased facility. She described how this would work. She said under this option they would build 54,225 sq ft.
and build a shell of 15,775 sq ft. She said the cost of that is around $17,500. She said the total estimated tax
impact of this option on a 20 year bond would be 4.64 cents or 4.17 cents on the recommended 25 year bond.
She said these are conservative costs. She spoke about option two, a smaller facility with a total of 54,225 sq ft.
She said the tax impact of that would 4.16 cents on a 20 year bond and 3.6 cents on a 25 year bond. She said
the next steps are to determine the size option, determine the architectural selection committee and begin
design work. She said everyone is here to answer questions Council may have. Mayor asked and Rundell
reviewed and summarized the cost and the effect on the tax rate of each of the options.
Gonzalez said he has looked at these options and noted, at this point, he will be supporting option for the full
building. He said the difference in cost savings in minimal. He said, based on the total cost and it being voter
approved, he does not think it is worth doing something less. He said it is better to give police and fire the
facilities they deserve. Jonrowe asked what the chiefs think of options 1.5. Nero said he would take the position
of Gonzalez' opinion. He said they can live with that but noted the 15,000 square feet of shell space is not in all
one place. He noted it does not need to be finished out, but there will be a cost to that when it happens. He
noted, operationally, it will not make a difference to them right now. He spoke about why he would prefer Option
1 to Option 1.5. Berryman said and Nero agreed that the police department would not be using the shell of the
space. Berryman asked and Nero said the department would need to increase the use of the space
incrementally over the course of a few years. Berryman asked about Option 1.5 and how the expansion would
work with that option. Gonzalez said construction costs today are the lowest they have been in a long time and
the realized savings may not be there if the City waits to finish the facility. Berryman said she disagrees with
Gonzalez and she explained why that is so. Brandenburg said the square footage cost of a public safety facility
as compared to a house is very different. Nero said the real question is if there is really going to be a cost
savings in waiting to finish out the facility. Sattler asked and Rundell said the first phase of these bonds will be
issued next year. She said the next phase will probably be 2013. She said market conditions will determine
whether the City does two or three issues or more. She noted the full tax impact will probably be three years
from now. Sattler asked and Nero spoke about how the shelled space would be used incrementally over time.
Nero said all of that space would be pocketed in the different sections of the building. Sattler asked and staff
said they do not know the schedule yet. Sattler spoke about his concerns. He said he is interested in either
option one or option 1.5. Sattler said the cost between Options 1 and 1.5 is about $87,000 per year. Rundell
said that is the differential between what they currently pay on their facilities and what they would pay for a new
facility. There was much discussion on the cost difference between option one and option 1.5. Meigs said he
appreciates staff putting these numbers together because when we left hear last meeting he said he was
convinced that option 1.5 would be a significant savings. He noted it is now seen that that is not the case. He
said he is willing to move forward with Option 1. Hellmann said he likes Option 1.5, but hearing that the space
will not be contiguous, it will be hard to not heat or cool it or have lights for those spaces. He noted it would be
hard to segregate it out. He said all of this is unknown until the architect starts to look at it. He said the architect
can find ways to save the city money. He said he does know that now is the time to build buildings. He added
construction costs and interest rates are at historic lows. He said he is trying to see if there is some sort of
solution to mitigate the tax rate now. He said he leans to Option 1 or 1.5. Eason said she is agreeing with
Gonzalez that she is just not seeing the benefit of choosing Option 1.5. She said she will only be repeating
things that have already been said and added she is leaning toward Option 1.
City Council Meeting Minutes/
Page 5 of 8 Pages
Speaker, Ron Greene, said he was sitting in the audience listening to the Council debate this thing. He said he
is happy this came down to between Options 1 and 1.5. He said he was reading the other day a document he
hasn't seen in many years called the Constitution and added it starts off with "We the People." He said we the
people, voted for this facility and knew it would be a higher tax. He said "we the people" want the facility. He
said if he were, as a business man, looking at this plan he would definitely head toward Option 1 for a lot of
reasons. He said what is today won't be tomorrow. He said we do not know what tomorrow will be. He said
that space will end up getting used quick. He said if the space is there, we all know realistically that the
department will find a good use for it. He said "we the people" would like for Council to go with Option 1.
Speaker, Joe Pondrum, said he was the co-chair of the public safety complex task force. He said his son just
got out of the construction industry because there is no money in it right now He said if you are going to build
something, do it now, because things will not be getting better anytime soon. He said you can not estimate what
your property tax value will be next year. He said we are at the rock bottom economically and we have no place
to go but up. He said this nickel to the tax rate is based on property tax rate values right now. He said if the
values go up, the tax rate goes down. He said the people in this town voted for a 70,000 sq ft building and $29
million to do it. He said the voters knew that the worst cast scenario would be a 5 cent tax increase. He said
cops are like marines and, if they have the space, they will use it. Berryman asked and Jones spoke about how
the operations and maintenance is cheaper on Option 1.5 because they will not be maintaining the shelled
space. Berryman asked and Jones said there is not a cost with the shelled space.
Motion by Eason, second by Meigs to approve Option 1.
Meigs said he agrees with what has been said that the time has never been better with interest rates and
construction costs to move on Option 1. Sattler asked and Jones said it is estimated that the City will save
$87,000 a year with option 1.5. Sattler asked and Jones said there will be no operational savings at all with
option 1. Sattler asked and Nero said if you give the police department the space, it will be used. Sattler said
his concern is with`the operational costs. He asked and Nero said there is an opportunity to turn off all lights
and cutting off air. Nero added they can do that but what that would equate to in savings he does not know.
Brandenburg said, once you move out, the old police station and part of the communications building will be
empty which will result in savings as well. Berryman said she inclined to say not to use the space if the City
does not need it right now. She added she likes the idea of planning and adding space incrementally as needed.
Gonzalez said weighing all the current cost and future costs, it seems Option one is the best option.
Vote on the motion: Approved 6-1 (Berryman opposed)
L Consideration and possible action to appoint a selection committee to review architectural services
qualifications for the design of Public Safety Operations and Training Facility -- Terry Jones, Support

He said the next step of the process would to be appoint a selection committee. He said Mayor Garver is

committee.
Motion by Eason, second by Jonrowe to approve the appointment of the committee. Approved 7-0

Manager
Brewer said this is a project that has been kicked around as staff members and is being forwarded to Council by
the Downtown TIRZ Board. She said this project would expand the width of sidewalk and remove the parking
spaced on that area on Austin Avenue between 7th and 8th streets. She said this would allow for enhanced
pedestrian access, opportunity for additions) seating and increase visibility. She said staff spoke to all of the
business owners and they were in agreement with this. She said the money would come from the Downtown
TIRZ budget. She said this would include engineering, the sidewalk improvements, drainage improvements,
barriers in the form of planters that would have vegetation in them.
Motion by Hellmann, second by Eason to approve.
Eason said and Brewer confirmed that there was only one businessperson who was concerned about this is
safety. Brewer said safety is going to be incorporated into the design work. Brandenburg said because of EI
Monumento and other development, there will be more signals that will slow down traffic. Berryman said she is
concerned with the amount of traffic and the speed of the traffic. She said she there was supposed to be a light
in front of the Monument and she spoke about how dangerous that is for people to cross the street there. She
continued to speak about that crosswalk and how it is dangerous. Staff spoke to Council about the pedestrian
