CONSENT NUMBER FOUR. I BELIEVE THIS WAS YOU, COUNCILMAN STUBBS. YES. I PULLED THIS JUST SO WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT. AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT IT, SO IF YOU CAN, PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT THIS IS. SO I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THESE FUNDS WERE DONATED TO US FROM CHEVRON AND OXY TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE AVAILABLE. SO THIS IS A DRONE. IT WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF OUR EMS CAPTAIN WHO RESPONDS TO ALL MAJOR INCIDENTS.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO GIVE OUR CAPTAINS AND OUR INCIDENT COMMANDERS A SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, A BROADER PICTURE OF THE EVENT THAT'S GOING ON ANYTIME THEY NEED IT. IT JUST GOES UP IN THE AIR AND THEY CAN SEE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE HOUSE, OR IF IT'S A GRASS FIRE OR ANY OTHER MAJOR INCIDENT. WE CAN'T ALWAYS SEE EVERYTHING WHEN WE GET THERE. SOMETIMES WE HAVE ACCESS ISSUES, SO IT'S ALWAYS BETTER IF WE CAN GET A FULL BIRD'S EYE VIEW, AND THAT'S WHAT IT WILL BE USED FOR. JUST ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ON THE TECHNOLOGY. THERE'S A LOT OF KIND OF NO FLY AREAS IN MIDLAND. IS THAT REALLY INHIBITED TO WHAT Y'ALL ARE DOING? NO. NO. SO WE WILL HAVE CERTIFIED PILOTS AND THERE ARE RULES WITH THE AIRPORT, BUT THERE ARE CEILINGS. AND IF IT'S FOR EMERGENCY INCIDENTS AND IT'S BEING OPERATED BY A PILOT, WE'RE ALLOWED TO OPERATE. BUT WE WOULD BE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH THE TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER.

OKAY. AWESOME. CHIEF, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW LONG THAT THE DATA WILL BE STORED? AND YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ONLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE DATA. IT WILL ONLY IT'LL BE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE ACCESS TO. THE DATA IS STORED BASED ON OUR POLICIES, OUR RETENTION POLICIES. CITY OF MIDLAND AND MIDLAND FIRE. CERTAIN INCIDENTS.

WILL DICTATE HOW LONG WE HAVE TO KEEP THOSE. BUT WE'RE NOT. WE WON'T RECEIVE THIS PROBABLY UNTIL JUNE. SO IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL BE GETTING ALL THAT SQUARED AWAY WITH WITH THE COMPANY WHO'S PROVIDING THE DRONE AND, AND HOW THOSE ARE GOING TO WORK OUT. AND THEN ONCE IT MEETS THAT THRESHOLD, THE DATA GOES AWAY, BUT IT'S PROTECTED INFORMATION. SO AND YOU'RE JUST RECORDING VIDEO. ARE YOU RECORDING ANYTHING ELSE? I THINK THAT'S ALL I SAW. JUST VIDEO ON INCIDENT SCENES THAT WE CAN USE FOR TRAINING. AND AGAIN, IT ADDS A FIREFIGHTER SAFETY AND GIVE OUR INCIDENT COMMAND MORE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND A BIGGER PICTURE OF THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. WE GOOD? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM

[00:05:03]

COUNCIL? OKAY. I'VE GOT A FEW REQUESTS TO SPEAK. CARDS. PAULA MORRIS. PAULA MORRIS, ARE YOU HERE? OKAY, WE WILL MOVE ON TO LANCE WINKLER. GOOD MORNING COUNCIL. THANK YOU. THIS IS MY LUNCH HOUR. I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD MOVE THIS TO ANOTHER TIME, BECAUSE MEETING AT TEN IN THE MORNING IS. I THINK YOU'RE ALL AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE, OF THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY. I THINK THEY'RE AFRAID TO EVEN FACE THEM. OKAY. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR. OKAY. YES, IT'S A DRONE. OKAY. IF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT USES IT, THIS IS AN OPEN DOOR POLICY TO LET THE POLICE OFFICERS EVEN USE IT. MY OPINION, IF A POLICE OFFICER WANTS TO USE A SIMILAR SYSTEM SUCH AS THIS. GET A WARRANT, GET A JUDGE, GET A SIGNATURE OF USE THE SYSTEM. I SAY CHARGE THEM FOR THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW AND THEN POINT IT RIGHT AT THEIR PENSION FUND IF THEY WANT TO ABUSE THE SYSTEM. LET'S MAKE IT PUNITIVE. ALSO, IF THEY WANT TO ABUSE THEM, WHAT IS THE WHAT'S STOPPING THEM FROM VIOLATING THE COMPUTER FRAUD AND ABUSE ACT BY ABUSING THE SYSTEM? ONLY AN ATTORNEY CAN REALLY ANSWER THAT ONE. THANK YOU. OKAY, WE WILL MOVE ON TO SANDY WILLIAMS. MY GOSH, WHAT ARE WE DOING? FLIPPING THROUGH A SEARS CATALOG, GOING, WHERE'S OUR NEXT PURCHASE? THIS IS THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST ASININE PURCHASES I CAN POSSIBLY SEE. WE HAVE A FIELD TRAINING SERVICE THAT FOR THREE OF THE FOUR BUILDINGS ARE CONDEMNED. CAN WE NOT USE THOSE FUNDS TO ACTUALLY HAVE TRAINING? MY HUSBAND WENT THROUGH THE FIRE TRAINING ACADEMY SUCCESSFULLY. HE COULD NOT HAVE LEARNED TO ROPE AND REPEL OFF OF A DRONE FOOTAGE. ONE WE DO KNOW THAT EVERY ONE OF OUR FIREMEN. THEY DO NOT ATTACK.

THEY CONTAIN. IT IS THE SAFETY. WE'VE SEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES IN ODESSA WHERE ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN AND I KNOW THE FIREMEN VERY WELL, AND HE ENTERED INTO THE BUILDING AND HE COLLAPSED AND DIED DUE TO SMOKE INHALATION. SO I REALLY WANT TO ASK YOU GUYS, IS THIS LIKE A HOMELESS MAN GOING THROUGH A SEARS CATALOG LOOKING FOR APPLIANCES? WHERE'S OUR FOUNDATION AT? THAT TRAINING FIELD NEEDS TO BE FOUNDATION NUMBER ONE. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BRING NEW FIREMEN HERE, NOT SOME PROGRAM ON A DRONE. ONE, IT'S NOT FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.

AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OPERATIONAL REALITY. WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSAL OF AN ADVANCED DRONE SYSTEM FOR MIDLAND COUNTY. THE TECH DOES SOUND IMPRESSIVE. THE REALITY IN MIDLAND COUNTY DOES NOT NEED A DRONE PROGRAM, AND OUR TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT FOOT THE BILL FOR IT. FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER OUR TERRAIN THAT WE ACTUALLY FIGHT. MIDLAND COUNTY IS DEFINED BY FLAT, WIDE OPEN OIL PATCHES AND BRUSH. WE DO NOT HAVE HIGH RISE CONCRETE JUNGLES OR A DENSE CANOPY COVERED FOREST. IT'S NOT WHERE THE GROUND VISION IS BLOCKED.

WE CAN SEE FOR MILES AND FOR DAYS. WHEN A BRUSH FIRE BREAKS OUT, OUR FIREFIGHTERS CAN SEE THE SMOKE IN THE LINE OF FIRE FOR MILES AND THE CABS OF THEIR TRUCKS. A DRONE IN THE AIR TELLS US WHAT WE CAN ALREADY SEE CLEARLY FROM THE GROUND. SECOND, WE MUST LOOK AT THE HIDDEN COSTS. THE PRICE OF THE DRONE ISN'T JUST A RECEIPT AT CHECKOUT. IT REQUIRES A SPECIAL FAA PILOT CERTIFICATION. HOURS OF ONGOING TRAINING, MAINTENANCE, DATA STORAGE, AND SOFTWARE UPDATES. OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE ALREADY STRETCHED THIN AND PROTECTING OUR COUNTY, FORCING THEM TO BECOME PART OF A PART TIME DRONE PILOT TAKES THEIR FOCUS AWAY FROM HANDS ON TRAINING AND ACTIVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE. FINALLY, IT COMES DOWN TO THE SIMPLE QUESTION OF PRIORITIES. IF YOU HAVE EXTRA ROOM IN THE BUDGET, THAT MONEY IS JUST SITTING THERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. LET'S INVEST IN WHAT ACTUALLY COULD SAVE LIVES IN WEST TEXAS. UPDATING OUR AGING FLEET, BUYING BETTER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE GEAR, EXPANDING THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS, OR GETTING OUR FIELD UP TO DATE. A DRONE CANNOT CUT A FIRE LINE.

IT CANNOT HAUL WATER. IT CANNOT PULL A RESIDENT OUT OF A BURNING STRUCTURE. KEEP OUR FUNDING FOCUSED ON THE PROVEN TOOLS THAT THE BRAVE PERSONNEL WHO DO THE HEAVY LIFTING OF EVERY SINGLE DAY USE. GUYS, WE HAVE GOT TO GET MORE FIREMEN IN HERE. JUST LIKE WE NEED MORE POLICE OFFICERS IN HERE. THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO DO IT ADEQUATELY, BEING ABLE TO TRAIN THEM, WE CANNOT DO THAT RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. NEXT, I'LL CALL DEREK SMITH. GOOD MORNING COUNCIL. I JUST WANT TO SECOND EVERYTHING SANDY SAID. AND WHEN IT COMES TO THESE PROPOSALS LIKE THIS, WHAT I WOULD LIKE US TO MOVE

[00:10:01]

TOWARDS, I WANT EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FIREMEN, OUR POLICEMEN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DOING SOME KIND OF A SURVEY THAT IS COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS AND THAT WE ASK, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE THE BEST USE OF THESE FUNDS THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR JOB BETTER, SAFER? BECAUSE LIKE SHE SAID, SOMEBODY POINTED OUT THAT THE MAINTENANCE COSTS ON THIS THING IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $25,000 A YEAR. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP IT UP AND RUNNING OR IF THAT'S HOW MUCH, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THEY DOWNLOAD FOOTAGE, HAVING TO HAVE A SERVER. I MEAN, THIS IS THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH DISCUSSION AS TO WHAT THIS 109.

I MEAN, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME THAT THE FUNDS WERE DONATED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE OVERALL COST? I MEAN, IS THIS 109,000? IS IT GOING TO COVER THE DRONE, THE MAINTENANCE, THE SOFTWARE PAYING, WHOEVER'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE LICENSE TO FLY IT TO GO OFF TO TRAIN. I MEAN, IS IT GOING TO COVER EVERY SINGLE THING OR, YOU KNOW, IS THIS JUST SOME KIND OF REALLY BIG DRONE OR, OR MAYBE IT'S FOUR OF THEM, FIVE OF THEM, HOWEVER MANY, SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THEM AT DIFFERENT FIRE STATIONS WHEN THEY ROLL OUT. I MEAN, THERE'S JUST NOT A WHOLE LOT OF INFORMATION IN THIS PACKET AGENDA AS TO WHAT ALL THIS IS GOING TO COVER. AND LIKE I SAY, I, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE US START ASKING THE RANK AND FILE MEMBERS OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, CITY WORKS, ANY OF THESE DEPARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION, I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THE JOB, WHAT THEY NEED THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER, EASIER, SAFER BEFORE WE JUST FIND SOMETHING AND WE THROW MONEY AT IT. AND, AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL OR STAFF? JUST REAL QUICK. CHIEF, IF YOU COULD JUST KIND OF EXPOUND ON HOW THIS EVEN CAME ABOUT WITH CHEVRON AND EXXON AND, AND WHAT ALL IS ENTAILED WITH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. AND THE, THE RANK AND FILE ARE THE ONES WHO, WHEN WE DO, WE HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM EVERY YEAR, ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANT. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS ON THEIR LIST THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE US IMPLEMENT A DRONE PROGRAM. WE HAVE COMPETING PRIORITIES. SO WE THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROGRAM THAT WOULD BE BEST SUITED TO GO OUT AND FIND FUNDING FOR, OTHER THAN OUR OPERATING BUDGET, THE 109,000 IS THE TOTAL COST. IT COVERS FIVE YEARS, SO IT COVERS PARTS, THE DATABASE, IT COVERS EVERYTHING. AND, AND WHAT I'M GETTING AT TOO IS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CHEVRON AND EXXON SAID, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU MONEY, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO. WE WE WENT IN, WE WENT TO THEM WITH THIS PROPOSAL. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS MONEY CAN BE USED FOR. WE CAN'T TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. I'LL NOW LOOK FOR ACTION FROM COUNCIL. HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN STUBBS, SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN BURKHOLDER. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 0. OKAY. WE

WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER NINE. OH TO NUMBER FIVE. SORRY, I SKIPPED THAT ONE. MARCIA, DO I READ THIS? THE DESCRIPTION? OKAY. ITEM NUMBER FIVE. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT COMPACTOR ENGINE FROM WARREN POWER AND MACHINERY THROUGH BY BOARD FOR THE LANDFILL DIVISION AT A COST OF $130,955.41, APPROVING 14000 IN CONTINGENCIES AND AUTHORIZING PAYMENT. YEAH. SO I PULLED THIS. I KNOW WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT IT YESTERDAY. I TALKED TO TOMMY ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE PRIORITIZED, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THE BEST DEALS THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY CAN. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A TIGHT BUDGET. WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LOTS OF OTHER EXPENSES THAT COME UP ALL THE TIME. AND SO REALLY MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE BEST DEALS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A PRIORITY. I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING WE DID WITH SENSORS. WE'VE DONE WITH A CRM CONTRACT, WE'VE DONE WITH, YOU KNOW, CLEANING THINGS OUT AT OUR, OUR WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND RIGHT OF WAY AGREEMENT, SERVICES AGREEMENT. IT JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THE BEST DEALS. THIS IS ONE OF THEM THAT I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATION. I THINK THAT THERE IS A PATH TO BEING ABLE TO GET THIS DONE QUICKLY, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PARTICULAR ITEMS THAT I THINK THAT WE CAN SIT DOWN AND WE CAN PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY, BUT SAVE QUITE A BIT OF MONEY.

[00:15:02]

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DID GET AN ESTIMATE ON, COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING, APPLES TO APPLES. AND WE SAW THAT THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT PRICE SAVINGS. SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN WITH TAXPAYER MONEY. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO DEFER THIS. I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO COUNCILMAN STUBBS ABOUT THIS AS WELL. THIS IS HIS WORLD AS WELL. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS ONE WITH YOU GUYS. AND AGAIN, DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET IT EXPEDITED. BUT EVEN IF WE CAN SAVE, YOU KNOW, 40, 50, $60,000, THAT'S 40, 50, $60,000 THAT CAN BE USED FOR FIRE, POLICE, OTHER SERVICES AND SO FORTH AND SO ON. SO I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION TO DEFER THIS, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE. HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN STUBBS? OKAY. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. OKAY. THE MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 0. NOW WE CAN MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE.

[9. 084-2026 - MOTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MIDLAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. TO DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR THE WEST TEXAS AEROSPACE CORRIDOR (DISTRICT: ALL) (CITY MANAGER) (STRONG ECONOMY WITH MORE QUALITY JOBS)]

MOTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MIDLAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES TO DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR THE WEST TEXAS AEROSPACE CORRIDOR. I JUST PULLED THIS MOSTLY JUST FOR INFORMATION. THIS IS A PRETTY BIG STEP FOR THE MDC AND OUR SPACE INDUSTRY, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MRS. HARRIS TELL US MORE ABOUT IT.

YES, SIR. GOOD MORNING. COUNCIL. SO THIS AUTHORIZES KIMLEY-HORN TO PERFORM THE SCOPE OF WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEST TEXAS AEROSPACE CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN THAT WILL INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYSIS, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND REGIONAL COORDINATION, AS WELL AS ULTIMATELY STRATEGIC MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THE COST FOR THIS WILL NOT EXCEED $655,000. MDC IS CONTRACTING DIRECTLY WITH KIMLEY-HORN, BUT EL PASO COUNTY WILL REIMBURSE THE FULL COST TO THE MDC THROUGH FUNDS AVAILABLE THROUGH A GRANT AGREEMENT FROM THE TEXAS SPACE COMMISSION. SO, AS COUNCIL MEMBER, STUBBS SAID, THIS IS AN EXCITING STEP TO ADVANCE REGIONAL COORDINATION, TO EVALUATE THE ASSETS AND THE WORKFORCE THAT WE HAVE HERE IN WEST TEXAS, AND HOW WE CAN MORE STRATEGICALLY POSITION OURSELVES TO GROW THE AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE INDUSTRY HERE. THANK YOU. SARAH, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD LIKE THERE, THERE REALLY ARE GOING TO DO A DEEP DIVE INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN AND EXTENDING OVER TO EL PASO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ROADS THAT WE'RE DOING FOR INTERSTATES AND ROADWAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A REALLY NEAT DOCUMENT THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE FOR A LONG TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW ALL WE CAN GET, ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GREAT ABOUT THE PERMIAN BASIN INTO BOTH A NEW INDUSTRY AND TO BUILD OUR CITY MORE. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS WORK. WONDERFUL. THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION I'LL LOOK FOR. SORRY I SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS. OH THAT'S RIGHT, WE DO HAVE A REQUEST TO SPEAK. ROBIN CAMPBELL, IF YOU'LL JUST MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. HI. I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M OPPOSED TO ANY MORE SPACE DEVELOPMENT HERE.

I'M ESPECIALLY OPPOSED TO VERTICAL LAUNCH PAD IN REEVES COUNTY. IT'S NOT EVEN IN MIDLAND COUNTY. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY I'M OPPOSED TO IT. THE SPACE INDUSTRY IS AN UNKNOWN, RISKY INDUSTRY. WE'VE ALREADY INVESTED. MDC HAS ALREADY INVESTED A LOT. THEY'VE ALREADY LOST A LOT OF MONEY IN THE SPACE INDUSTRY. ALSO, THEY'VE BEEN INVESTING IN IT.

THEY CONTINUE TO INVEST IN IT. WE'VE YET TO SEE ANY RETURNS, AND THEY'RE NOT OPEN. THEY'RE MDC AND THE CITY OF MIDLAND IS NOT OPEN AND HONEST WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THE SPACE INDUSTRY. I WAS JUST READING FROM THE MAYOR'S LINKEDIN WHERE IT SAYS MDC.

THIS WAS THREE MONTHS AGO. MDC ALREADY HAS OR AST HAS ALREADY CREATED 600 JOBS. WELL, WHO ARE WE CREATING THOSE JOBS FOR? I MEAN, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE CITY OF MIDLAND.

THERE'S NO AUDIT DONE ON THOSE JOBS. IT'S NOT FACTUAL. IT'S NOT HONEST TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE CREATED ALL OF THOSE JOBS. MAYBE THEY HAVE, BUT NOT THAT NOBODY IS CHECKING TO SEE IF THEY ARE IN MIDLAND. AND A LOT OF THOSE JOBS FLY OUT EVERY ALMOST EVERY COMPANY OUT THERE EXCEPT FOR AST, THEY DON'T HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT LIVE HERE AND THAT MOST THE MAJORITY OF THOSE LITTLE COMPANIES THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE FLYING IN AND OUT. THEY'RE NOT BEING HONEST WITH US ABOUT THE JOBS THAT THEY'RE CREATING. MDC YOU CAN'T GET ANSWERS FROM THEM. I'VE ASKED MISS HARRIS ANSWERS. SHE WANTS ME TO SEND EVERYTHING THROUGH PUBLIC RECORDS AND THROUGH THE ATTORNEY. EVERYTHING. YOU CAN'T TALK TO HER. THEY DON'T RESPOND TO EMAILS. I'VE ASKED MR. BULLOCK TO EMAIL ME BACK. HE'S NOT DOING IT. THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES WITH TRANSPARENCY. AND.

[00:20:05]

LAST YEAR, WHEN LAUREN SAMS WAS THE CHAIRMAN, HE. THEY THE MDC BOARD ARGUED AND WON AN AGENDA ITEM TO BE ABLE TO GO CREATE A NON-BINDING AGREEMENT TO FIND A VERTICAL WITH THE LAND OUT THERE FOR A VERTICAL LAUNCH PAD. WE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. AND THEN THE MAYOR SAYS JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SITE IS. THEY'RE NOT FOR SURE.

WELL, I MEAN, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. WE'VE BEEN PAYING THIS CONSULTING COMPANY ALREADY TO LOOK INTO IT. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS NOW, AND WE GOT THE 5 MILLION FROM THE STATE. MDC DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO BE UP FRONT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT 5 MILLION. IF THAT WAS GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THIS. IT'S I MEAN, IT'S JUST A BIG MESS. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CONSULTING WILL BE PAID FOR WITH THE GRANT.

AND SO THAT'S GREAT. IT'S NOT OUR LOCAL TAX DOLLARS. IT'S STILL TAX DOLLARS, BUT IT'S NOT OUR LOCAL. AND I'M JUST HIGHLY OPPOSED TO ANY OF OUR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO SPACE DEVELOPMENT OF VERTICAL LAUNCH PAD. THAT IS GOING TO BE OVER 200 MILLION. THERE'S NO APPETITE FOR IT. WHERE'S THE PRIVATE MARKET FOR IT? THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL OR STAFF? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. GOT A MOTION. CAN I GET A SECOND?

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE THE GARAGE IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, ABUTTING THE ALLEYWAY TO THE BACK. AND AGAIN, THE REQUEST HERE IS TO REDUCE FROM FIVE FEET REAR YARD SETBACK TO ZERO. THE ZONING DOES ALLOW FOR THIS. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE AERIAL OF THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN SEE JUST TO THE SOUTH. THE NEIGHBORS JUST TO THE SOUTH HAVE A SIMILAR SETBACK FOR THEIR GARAGE ADDITION. YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHAT I'LL HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS A ZERO FOOT

[00:25:02]

SETBACK, THERE'S A THERE'S A CURB IN BETWEEN WHERE THE HOME IS AND WHERE THE THE ALLEY ACTUALLY IS, WHICH LEAVES A BIT OF SPACE FOR OVERHANG. AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT THERE'S A CORNER CLIP HERE. SO WE DID VERIFY THAT THERE'S NO ISSUES WITH SITE VISIBILITY WITH THIS PARTICULAR ADDITION. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE FRONT OF THE HOME.

FOR THE SIMILAR SITUATION THAT WE SEE IN THIS AREA WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXISTING LOTS THAT MEET THE SF THREE OR MORE CLOSE TO THOSE SF THREE STANDARDS. THIS SPECIAL EXCEPTION ASSUMES THAT THAT REZONING TAKES PLACE IN THE NEXT ITEM AND ALLOWS FOR. IT LEGALIZES THE EXISTING LOTS TO ALLOW FOR A SMALLER WIDTH AND DEPTH THAN WHAT'S REQUIRED BY CODE. BUT AGAIN, IT'S LEGALIZING THE TWO EXISTING LOTS. AND HERE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S IT'S ONE LOT, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY SPLIT INTO TWO.

REGIONAL RETAIL ALLOWS FOR DRIVE THRUS, AND THE INTENT HERE IS TO BUILD TWO NEW RESTAURANTS, ONE BEING A TACO BELL, THE OTHER BEING A SMALL SLIDERS.

THIS IS A REZONE FROM LR TO RR TO AGAIN ALLOW FOR A DRIVE THROUGH AT THE PROPERTY AT 902 ANDREWS. THIS IS THE SITE OF A FORMER WENDY'S. IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE ELAINE'S CHICKEN. AND SO TO RENOVATE THE BUILDING AND ALLOW FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH THIS REZONE IS NECESSARY. AGAIN, WE SEE NO ISSUE AS IT WAS AN EXISTING USE PREVIOUSLY. NO OBJECTIONS WERE RECEIVED AND WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. WONDERFUL. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTUALLY START WITH MY OWN COMMENTS THAT I'M VERY EXCITED FOR.

SO THIS IS FOR THE PROPERTY AT 911 EAST NEW YORK AND DISTRICT TWO PROPERTY EXPERIENCES SIMILAR SITUATIONS THAT WE SEE WHERE THE LOT IS MORE CONDUCIVE TO SF THREE. THERE IS, IN FACT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON IT.

[00:35:04]

THAT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IS LOOKING TO ADD AN ADDITION. IT ACTUALLY IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO LEGALIZE HERE BY REZONING THIS PROPERTY FROM THE REGIONAL RETAIL TO THE SF THREE ZONING, WHICH MATCHES THE ZONING TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY ITSELF. HERE'S A LOOK AT THAT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. AND THEN HERE'S A LOOK AT THE ADDITION THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

SO AGAIN THE REZONE IS NECESSARY TO LEGALIZE BOTH THE EXISTING USE AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED EXPANSION. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS THIS. ONE OBJECTION WAS RECEIVED FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER TO THE NORTH. AND THAT PROPERTY OWNER AGAIN IS LOOKING TO DEVELOP THE SITE INTO A CHURCH, WHICH IS ALLOWED IN ANY ZONING DISTRICT. AND THE OBJECTION DOESN'T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF TRIGGERING A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE. BUT THAT WAS RECEIVED. AND THE REASON CITED, WHICH YOU HAVE A COPY OF, IS JUST THAT IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THOSE FUTURE ON THOSE PROPERTIES. BUT AGAIN, A CHURCH IS ALLOWED IN ANY ZONING DISTRICT. SO WITH THAT, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONE REQUEST. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. ELIZABETH. YES, MA'AM. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR ANY DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL. YES.

MR. LV BROWN HERE. NOPE. OKAY. BECAUSE I JUST HAD A QUESTION LIKE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW REZONING THIS WOULD WOULD HURT BUILDING THE CHURCH. SO I DON'T THINK THAT IT WILL JUST FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHURCH BEING PERMITTED IN ANY, ANY ZONING DISTRICT, WE DON'T SEE A CONFLICT OF THE TWO LAND USES. SO. AND I DON'T THINK SO. SO YEAH, I'M I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS WONDERFUL I DON'T HAVE ANY REQUESTS TO SPEAK CARD, SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR ACTION.

MOVE ON TO ITEM 27, ORDINANCE NUMBER 10801, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MIDLAND TO REZONE A 20.00 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF SECTION 29, BLOCK 38, TOWNSHIP ONE SOUTH TMP RAILROAD COMPANY SURVEY. CITY AND COUNTY OF MIDLAND, TEXAS, FROM AGRICULTURAL ESTATE DISTRICT TO SEE COUNTY, COUNTRY, STATE DISTRICT GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF TODD DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY 600FT SOUTH OF MARY DRIVE, CONTAINING A COMMUTATIVE CLAUSE CONTAINING A SAVING AND SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING FOR A MAXIMUM PENALTY OR FINE OF $2,000 IN ORDERING PUBLICATION. SO THIS IS A REZONE REQUEST FOR A PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE EAST SIDE OF TODD DRIVE AND JUST SOUTH OF LINDA VISTA DRIVE. YOU HAD A RELATED ITEM ON CONSENT AGENDA ITEM TEN, WHICH WAS THE REPLAT THAT SUBDIVIDED, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM THAT SUBDIVIDED SEVERAL NEW LOTS INTO 21 NEW LOTS FOR FUTURE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS, EACH BEING ONE ACRE. TO MATCH THE SEE ZONING REQUEST, HERE'S A LOOK AT THE REZONE THAT REPLAT ON ITEM TEN INCLUDED A COUPLE OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH OF HERE, SUBDIVIDING THOSE, BUT THEY WERE ALREADY ZONED APPROPRIATELY. SO THIS JUST FOCUSES ON THE REZONE HERE. AND AGAIN, IF APPROVED, THIS WOULD RESULT IN 21 NEW ONE ACRE LOTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND JUST FIRST, WITH RESPECT TO THE ZONING, THE THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH ARE ALREADY ZONED C AND DEVELOPED SIMILARLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. SO THIS DOES MATCH THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AS WELL AS WELL AS SURROUNDING ZONING. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE VACANT LAND THAT WILL BE REDEVELOPED. AND THAT'S LINDA VISTA DRIVE. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THIS REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE WITH THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND WE DID SEND OUT NOTICE. NO OBJECTIONS WERE RECEIVED. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL, AS DOES STAFF. A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. THAT ITEM TEN WAS APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS. ONE OF THE CONDITIONS BEING THAT THESE PROPERTIES NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO CITY WATER. SO I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THAT THIS. LET ME GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO IT IS NOW OPEN. AND I LOOK FOR YOUR DISCUSSION, COUNCILMAN BURKHOLDER. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS A PARTICULAR AREA THAT IS OF GREAT INTEREST BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PRETTY NEW ON COUNCIL, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MISS POOL AND I WENT OUT THERE AND SPOKE WITH THE RESIDENTS, AND THEY WERE HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH WATER WHERE THERE WAS WATER ISSUES.

THE DEVELOPER DID NOT HAVE THE ADEQUATE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN

[00:40:05]

A LOT OF CONVERSATION WITH THAT DEVELOPER, A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THE RESIDENTS OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHO THAT THEY ARE MY PRIORITY. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BOUGHT HOMES THERE. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS. AND SO I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN CONCESSIONS MADE THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS MOVED FORWARD WITH DEVELOPING SOME OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE OR ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NECESSARY. I JUST WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS GOING THROUGH, AND THAT WE'RE NOT CREATING A SECONDARY PROBLEM WITH APPROVING THIS, THAT THIS IS GOING TO FLOW NICE AND SMOOTH WITH THE THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE OUT THERE. THAT WAS MY, MY QUESTION. EXACTLY. YES, YES. SO PRIOR TO BRINGING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FORWARD, THE DEVELOPER DID DEDICATE EASEMENTS ALONG LINDA VISTA DRIVE AND THE LOOP THAT RUNS THROUGH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. LET ME BRING UP A MAP SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT. AND SO THAT EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH, UTILITY EASEMENTS WERE DEDICATED. THOSE ROADS ARE PRIVATE, BUT THOSE UTILITY EASEMENTS GIVE US THE AUTHORITY TO MAINTAIN WHATEVER PUBLIC UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE IS PUT INTO THOSE ROADS, WHICH IS WHERE THE WATER LINES ARE INTENDED TO BE DEVELOPED. THE DEVELOPER HAS ALSO SECURED A BOND, AND THE CITY DOES HOLD THAT BOND, WHERE THE DEVELOPER HAS SECURED OVER JUST A LITTLE OVER $1 MILLION TO BUILD OUT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THAT'S THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH CANNOT BE DEVELOPED UNTIL THE WATER IS CONNECTED TO THE CITY'S WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO THE DEVELOPER IS LOOKING AT DOING ALL OF THESE, DEVELOP ALL OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT THEY COINCIDE, WILL BE BRINGING FORWARD OUR OWN ITEM IN OCTOBER THAT ALLOWS FOR THE FURTHER EXTENSION OF THE WATER LINE FROM LOOP 250 DOWN TO THE NORTH SIDE OF HIS SUBDIVISION. HE'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE FROM THE NORTH SIDE ALL THE WAY ALONG THE FRONTAGE, AS WELL AS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IN THE EVENT THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE DEVELOPER DOESN'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BUILDING OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD, WE HOLD THAT BOND AND WE CAN USE THOSE DOLLARS TO CONSTRUCT IT OURSELVES. AND JUST VERIFYING THAT THAT BOND IS SUFFICIENT TO BE ABLE TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. YES, SIR. IT IS. WE RECEIVED THE COST ESTIMATE TO BUILD OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO THE BOND COVERS THAT ESTIMATE. ELIZABETH, I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU AND YOUR STAFF OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS WORKING THROUGH THIS. YOU HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB MAKING THIS HAPPEN. BUT ALSO MORE THAN THAT, I THINK YOU ARE WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS THE WAY THAT YOU HAVE AND KEEPING THEM UPDATED AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING, HOW IT'S HAPPENING. I'VE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OF THEM OVER THIS LAST WEEK IN PREPARATION FOR THIS ITEM, AND THEY JUST HAVE SUCH GLOWING THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.

THANK YOU. IT'S A GROUP EFFORT. CARL'S DONE A LOT AS WELL AS JOSE TO GET IT DONE. AND WE'LL KEEP THE NEIGHBORS IN IN THE LOOP AS WE MOVE FORWARD. WONDERFUL. YES, MA'AM. AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT YOU SAID, COUNCILMAN BURKHOLDER. WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE GETTING DONE BECAUSE WE'VE MADE EXPEDITED PROVISIONS TO GET WATER OUT THERE, JUST, YOU KNOW, NORTH OF THE LOOP AND ALL THOSE THINGS. AND SO ALL OF THAT TIES IN TOGETHER. SO WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THOSE THINGS DONE AS THEY AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD. SO I WANTED TO UNDERSCORE THAT COUNCILWOMAN POLE, WITH RESPECT TO WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS DONE IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, THE SOUTHEAST DEVELOPMENT WAS A PRIORITY FOR ALL OF COUNCIL, NOT ONLY WITH THE PROGRAM WE HAVE WITH THE COMPASS TO FILL IN INFILL AND SOMETHING I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN AS WELL WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT INTERSECTED WITH THE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF A 50 YEAR OLD PROBLEM THAT THE COUNCIL TOOK CARE OF, IF YOU RECALL, THAT WAS ANNEXED IN THE 80S, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. AND SO THE WORK THAT COUNCIL DID IN THE $26 MILLION THAT WAS OBTAINED FOR TODD ROAD, AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO GET THE THE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE WATER SIDE UNDERNEATH AND TO DO IT AHEAD OF TIME. THAT SAVED US A COUPLE OF MILLION DOLLARS BY DOING THAT ALSO. BUT YOU'RE SOLVING THIS. THIS SOLVES A 50 YEAR OLD PROBLEM ON SOMETHING THAT WAS ANNEXED VERY, VERY LONG AGO. AND AGAIN, IT INTERSECTED WITH A HIGH PRIORITY THAT THE COUNCIL HAD IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTHEAST. THANK YOU FOR THAT, TOMMY. OKAY. WITH THAT, I DO NOT HAVE ANY REQUEST TO SPEAK CARDS, SO I WILL LOOK FOR THEM OR FOR ACTION FROM COUNCIL. COUNCIL. DO WHAT? OH, LET ME CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST.

NOW I'LL LOOK FOR ACTION. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN BURKHOLDER AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN NORMAN. THAT WE WILL VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 0. WONDERFUL. LET'S GO AHEAD AND

ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MIDLAND TO REZONE LOT ONE AND THE EAST 25TH FEET OF LOT TWO, BLOCK 86, WEST END ADDITION CITY AND COUNTY OF MIDLAND, TEXAS, FROM PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FROM A TRANSITION DISTRICT TO LR LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT. LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF WEST WALL STREET AND SOUTH M STREET, CONTAINING A COMMUTER CLAUSE CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE PROVIDING FOR A MAXIMUM PENALTY OR FINE $2,000 IN ORDERING PUBLICATION. SO THIS IS A ZONE CHANGE AT 2001 WEST WALL STREET, ACTUALLY TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A SIGN IT. IT'S THE SAME OFFICE USE, BUT THE NEW SIGN DOESN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CURRENT ZONING, WHICH IS A PD. AND IT'S IT'S NOT VERY FAR OFF. SO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE LARGER PD. IT'S BEEN DEVELOPED INDIVIDUALLY OVER TIME. SO DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THAT PD. AGAIN, THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED SIGNAGE WHICH YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM HERE. THE CURRENT PD HAS SIGNAGE LIMITS OF NO MORE THAN FOUR FEET IN HEIGHT AND 32FT■S MAXIMUM AREA. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A TALLER SIGN WHICH NECESSITATED THE REQUEST, AND AGAIN, THE AREA HAS DEVELOPED INDIVIDUALLY RATHER THAN AS A MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT. AND SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY ITSELF. AND THEN THERE'S A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AGAIN THE SIGNAGE. THE DIFFERENCE IS IT'S LIMITED TO FOUR FEET CURRENTLY. AND THEY'RE REQUESTING A 13 FOOT HIGH SIGN. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND NO OBJECTIONS WERE RECEIVED WHEN WE SENT OUT NOTICE. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. ELIZABETH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL. WITH NONE. I HAVE NO REQUEST TO SPEAK CARD, SO I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR ACTION. HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN NORMAN AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN STUBBS. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

ON THE REQUEST OF ONE OR MORE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS IN EXCHANGE FOR PAYMENT TO THE CITY. OF THE SUM OF 14,228, RETAINING A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT AND ORDERING RECORDATION BY THE CITY SECRETARY. SO THIS IS A VACATION REQUEST FOR A PORTION OF AN ALLEY THAT'S ABOUT 0.163 ACRES. YOU CAN SEE THAT ALLEY HERE ON THIS MAP. IT'S VERY SMALL, LOCATED NEAR BIG SPRING AND HUMBOLDT STREET. AND THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SHOPPING CENTER IN THE AREA. THE ALLEY IS NOT NEEDED AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. UTILITIES ARE BEING RELOCATED. THAT IS BEING DONE AT THE COST OF THE APPLICANT AND WILL NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY REPLAT THE PROPERTY ITSELF. HERE'S A LOOK AT THAT ALLEY.

AND THEN HERE'S THE AERIAL VIEW. AND THEN HERE'S THE LOOK AT THE ALLEY. SO AGAIN, THOSE UTILITIES WILL HAVE TO BE RELOCATED. IT IS AT THE COST OF THE APPLICANT. THE PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS APPROVED AGAIN SUBJECT TO THOSE UTILITIES BEING RELOCATED. AND THE STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL HOWEVER. AND THE COST THAT WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE PAID FOR COMPENSATION FOR THE VACATION IS $14,228, AND WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF THE SURROUNDING LAND VALUE PER SQUARE FOOT OR $2 PER SQUARE FOOT. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ELIZABETH, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR DISCUSSION. YEAH, I HAVE I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. SO I GUESS BY THEM VACATING THAT ALLEY OR WHATNOT, IS A SHOPPING CENTER GOING TO LIKE COVER THAT AREA? ALLEY IS GOING TO COVER THAT WHOLE AREA OR I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE THE SITE PLAN YET OF WHAT THE SHOPPING CENTER WILL LOOK LIKE. IT'S JUST CONVEYED THAT THAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA. AND SO WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT SO LONG AS THOSE UTILITIES ARE RELOCATED. HAVE THEY STATED, YOU KNOW, WHAT TYPE OF SHOPPING CENTER IT'LL BE? OR I BELIEVE IT'S JUST A COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER. IT'S NEW. I BELIEVE IT HAS A MCDONALD'S ASSOCIATED WITH IT. WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE, I BELIEVE, FROM THE ENGINEERING FIRM WORKING ON

[00:50:03]

THAT. ANDREW, WOULD YOU LIKE TO. TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, GIVE A LITTLE CONTEXT. WELCOME, WELCOME. I THOUGHT I WAS HIDING REALLY WELL BACK THERE. ANDREW MELLON, MAVERICK ENGINEERING, 1300 WEST ILLINOIS AVENUE. YEAH, THE SHOPPING CENTER IS GOING TO BE ON YOUR WEST SIDE. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THAT SITE PLAN RIGHT THERE. IT'S GOING TO BE A TIGHT FIT, BUT IT WORKS. MCDONALD'S IS ON THE NORTH. SEVEN BREW IS GOING RIGHT UNDERNEATH MCDONALD'S. THE LAUNDROMAT IS STAYING THERE UNTIL ITS LEASES UP, AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE WILL COME IN. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT FOR THE LAUNDROMAT. RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE GOING THROUGH DEMOLITION, OKAY. AND THE UTILITIES ARE ALREADY RELOCATED. GOTCHA. YOU DID SAY THEY'RE GOING TO REMOVE THE WHOLE PREEXISTING SHOPPING CENTER. THE WHOLE THING'S GOING EVENTUALLY. JUST THE LAUNDROMAT IS THE LAST ONE WITH THE LONGER LEASE. OKAY, SO I GOT YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN EYESORE, MAN, BECAUSE, LIKE, I KNOW THIS IS NOT MY DISTRICT, BUT I'VE BEEN I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN MIDLAND AND USED TO BE SOME APARTMENTS THERE CALLED NEW JACK CITY. AND I APPRECIATE US REDEVELOPING AND TEARING DOWN THE OLD THINGS AND GETTING SOME NEW THINGS IN THERE AND MAKING IT MORE APPEASING FOR PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH UP AND DOWN BIG SPRING AND ALL OF THAT. SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TAKING ON THAT TASK OF DEVELOPING THAT AREA. AND YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S MY THOUGHTS ON IT. WONDERFUL. I THINK THIS GOES BACK AGAIN TO THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AND THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT SEVERAL BUILDINGS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS IDENTIFIED THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. I KNOW A LOT OF IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY RELATED, A LOT OF POLICE CALLS. IF YOU RECALL, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS TAKEN INTO ONE OF THESE DIFFERENT PLACES, AND THERE'S BEEN OTHER STORIES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT THE VAUGHAN BUILDING. SO I KNOW THAT THE DANGEROUS BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN A BIG PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL. SO THERE'S SEVERAL BUILDINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. I KNOW THAT LEGAL HAS WORKED ON THAT WITH US, AND SO THAT'S THE PRODUCT OF A LOT OF THIS WORK.

WONDERFUL. I DON'T HAVE ANY REQUESTS TO SPEAK CARDS. SO IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, I WILL LOOK FOR ACTION. COUNCILMAN NORMAN WITH EMOTION. OH, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF MIDLAND TO TAKE ABATEMENT ACTION. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR A PRESENTATION FROM STAFF. GOOD MORNING. SEAN BAILEY, BIG SPRING SORRY, BUILDING SAFETY PROGRAM COORDINATOR. AS STATED, THIS IS TO SEEK AN ORDER FOR THE ABATEMENT OR DEMOLITION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2407 CAMP STREET. THIS DOES ALIGN WITH THE STRATEGIC GOALS. TWO OF THE. THE CITY'S STRATEGIC GOALS. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN DISTRICT TWO. THE. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE TEX DOT I-20 CORRIDOR AND WEST OF THE COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL PROPERTIES ALONG LINCOLN HIGHWAY. THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS COMPLETELY SURROUNDED WITH HOTELS AND APARTMENTS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS ACTUALLY ZONED AS REGIONAL RETAIL ALSO. THE. THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE AT LEAST 2022, RESULTING IN A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND SQUATTERS. THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CODE ENFORCEMENT CALLS SINCE THAT TIME. THIS IS THE NORTH SECTION OF THE OF THE STRUCTURE. IT. THEY BOTH STRUCTURES ARE UNINHABITABLE. THE MIDDLE SECTION THAT CONNECTS THE. THE ATTIC OF BOTH STRUCTURES HAS ALREADY BEGUN COLLAPSE, AND THIS IS THE SOUTH PART OF THE STRUCTURE. THE. THE CITY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE CLEANUPS OF THAT AREA,

[00:55:04]

SPECIFICALLY TO. SINCE 2024, AS A RESULT OF THE HIGH TRAFFIC TO THAT PROPERTY, THE STAFF HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE WITH CODE. THEY HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL RESOURCES TO TO TRY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. THEY ARE ACTUALLY IN AGREEANCE WITH THIS ORDER, AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY SEEKING CONSENT FOR THIS ITEM. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THESE DEMOLITIONS ARE. THEY.

THEY ARE KEPT IN HOUSE WITH USING THE CITY STAFF AND CITY EQUIPMENT AND WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF MR. GARNETT, THE. THE HAUL OFF AND LANDFILL ARE COVERED WITH CDBG GRANT FUNDS.

WONDERFUL. NO, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY OH, SORRY. GO AHEAD. AND SO STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE ORDER AS WELL AS THE. THE OWNER IS CONSENTING AS WELL. YEAH. I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR, FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. AND JUST TO REITERATE, LIKE, WE'RE NOT JUST GOING OUT THERE JUST TEARING DOWN PEOPLE'S HOUSES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE CONSENTING TO THESE DEMOLITIONS AND EVERYTHING. AND WE'RE JUST WORKING WITH EVERYBODY THAT'S INVOLVED ON IT. AND SO, AND IT'S A GOOD THING, LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, WE, WE'RE FILLING IN THESE AREAS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, BUILDING NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND EVERYTHING. AND THEN WE'RE DEMOING OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME MORE NEW THINGS PUT PUT IN THOSE PLACES AS WELL. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THIS. AND ISAAC, YOU AS WELL WITH CDBG FUNDING AND, AND EVERYTHING, LIKE WE'RE USING THE FUNDS FOR WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR. SO THANK YOU. I ALREADY MENTIONED THIS, BUT IT'S A VERY COST EFFECTIVE PROGRAM. IF COUNCIL REMEMBERS DOING EACH PROPERTY BY ITSELF AND OUTSOURCING IT, IT'S UPWARDS TO 40 OR $50,000 A PIECE. AND BY DOING IT IN-HOUSE, WE'RE SAVING QUITE A BIT OF MONEY, ABOUT 30 OR $40,000 PER UNIT THAT WE'RE SAVING BECAUSE WE'RE DOING IT IN-HOUSE. WELL, WELL, AND I'D LIKE TO REITERATE TO YOU THAT ULTIMATELY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE CITY WILL GET THEIR MONEY BACK ON THIS AS A LIEN WILL BE PUT ON THE PROPERTIES.

AND SO WE'RE CREATING A SAFER ENVIRONMENT. I KNOW AS A KID, BELIEVE ME, I FOUND LOTS OF ABANDONED THINGS TO RUN IN AND MESS AROUND IN, AND I'M SURPRISED I DIDN'T GET HURT OR WORSE. AND SO WE DON'T NEED KIDS GOING INTO THESE PLACES AND GETTING HURT. WE DON'T NEED ILLEGAL ACTIVITY IN THESE PLACES BECAUSE THEY'RE WIDE OPEN. AND SO CLEARING THESE THINGS OUT CREATES A WHOLE LOT SAFER ENVIRONMENT. AND AGAIN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE GET OUR MONEY BACK ON THIS. THEN IT'S A IT'S A WIN WIN. AND TO THAT POINT, COUNCILMAN BURKHOLDER, AND TO YOUR POINT AS WELL, STAFF HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE FRONT END. AND EVEN IN SOME CASES, THAT THAT MONEY THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT RETRIEVING, WE MAY GET THAT ON THE FRONT END. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE GOAL TO DO THAT. AND JUST TO GIVE THEM A MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAY OF ABATING AN ISSUE THAT NOT ONLY ARE WE SEEING THE COMMUNITY SEEING, BUT THAT PROPERTY OWNER IS SAYING, HEY, I'D LOVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS, AND I'M GLAD THEY'RE GLAD TO GET OUR HELP WITH THAT. I DO HAVE A REQUEST TO SPEAK COD FROM MORIAH STANDARD. WELCOME. IF YOU'D PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. I HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THAT. SORRY, MARSHA. YES, MA'AM.

MY NAME IS MORIAH STANDARD. AND MY HOME ADDRESS. YES. SORRY. 2502 REGENCY OAKS, MIDLAND, TEXAS, 79705. HI. I JUST WANTED TO COME OUT HERE AND SAY I AM ACTUALLY THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER OF THIS LAND. I INHERITED IT BACK IN 2022 WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY. AND SO LIKE OFFICER BAILEY WAS OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER BAILEY WAS JUST SAYING, WE HAVE TRIED REALLY, REALLY HARD TO KEEP THE PLACE BOARDED UP, KEEP IT CLEANED, GO OUT THERE. I'M ONLY 22 YEARS OLD. I CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING IT CLEAN AND KEEPING IT ORGANIZED AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND SO WE HAVE EVEN TRIED THINKING ABOUT COMING IN AND BRINGING OUR OWN DEMO TEAM AND TRY AND. BUT I PERSONALLY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND SO WHENEVER MR. BAILEY WAS TELLING ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE POSSIBLE, IT TRULY WAS LIKE A BLESSING TO ME, JUST IF WE COULD JUST COME IN AND GET IT CLEANED OUT AND JUST TO KEEP THE SPACE JUST CLEAN. SQUATTERS HAVE COME IN AND BROUGHT ALL OF THEIR THINGS. SO WE GO OUT THERE, WE CLEAN IT ALL UP, AND THEN IT SEEMS LIKE NOT EVEN FIVE DAYS LATER, THERE'S ALREADY TRASH, THERE'S MORE

[01:00:02]

PEOPLE. WE PUT THE BOARDS UP, THEY TAKE ALL THE BOARDS DOWN. AND SO IT'S LIKE ALL THE MONEY WE'RE PUTTING INTO IT JUST GOES RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO COME IN AND SAY THAT I AM ALL FOR THIS. AND LIKE Y'ALL WERE SAYING, Y'ALL ARE NOT TEARING DOWN ANYBODY'S ACTUAL HOME. IT IS COMPLETELY VACANT. IT'S NOT EVEN LIVABLE. AND SO YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS. AND I'M GLAD THAT THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A BLESSING TO YOU. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH THE CITY STAFF AND EVERYTHING ON ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T ALWAYS GET THAT COOPERATION, BUT THANK YOU FOR FOR DOING THAT. YES, SIR.

ORDER. FINDING THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON LOT FIVE, BLOCK 21. MOODY ADDITION. CITY AND COUNTY OF MIDLAND, TEXAS. GENERALLY LOCATED AT 203 NORTH CARVER STREET, MIDLAND, TEXAS,

[01:05:02]

79701. TO BE A SUBSTANDARD BUILDING AND ORDERING THE OWNERS OF SAID BUILDING AND LIEN HOLDERS AND MORTGAGEES HAVING AN INTEREST IN SAID BUILDING, IF ANY, TO TAKE ABATEMENT ACTION AS SPECIFIED IN THE ORDER, AND IF SAID ABATEMENT ACTION IS NOT TAKEN.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF MIDLAND TO TAKE ABATEMENT ACTION. AND THAT'S IT. OKAY. FOR YOUR REPORT? YES. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED IN THE IN THE PREVIOUS ITEMS, THIS IS TO SEEK AN ORDER FOR 203 NORTH CARVER. IT DOES ALIGN WITH THE NUMBER TWO GOAL OF THE STRATEGIC GOALS. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AGAIN IN DISTRICT TWO. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE CARVER CENTER. IT HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE 2018. IT HAS HAD A NUMBER OF CODE ENFORCEMENT CASES AND SOME LIMITED POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIONS. THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY HAS BEGUN COLLAPSE AND IT IS NO LONGER SECURE. IT IS VERY STRUCTURALLY UNSTABLE. WE WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL. HE WAS PRESENT THIS MORNING, BUT HE DID LEAVE. AND HE IS CONSENTING TO THIS THIS ORDER AS WELL. SO WE WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE THE APPROVAL OF THE ORDER. OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. LOOK FOR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL IF WE HAVE NONE. I DO HAVE A REQUEST TO SPEAK CARD ON THIS ITEM. ANDY WILLIAMS. YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE, MA'AM. SANDY WILLIAMS. SO MY CONCERN IS WE'VE GOT THREE PROPERTIES THAT WE ARE GRANTING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO DEMOLISH. JUST THREE MONTHS AGO, I WAS IN HERE AND THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN, A BLACK MAN. HE WAS STANDING UP HERE GOING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN. AND WE SAT HERE AND I BELIEVE IT WAS ISAAC THAT SAID THIS MONEY WAS GOING TO BE A LIEN ON THEIR PROPERTY. THAT POOR MAN DIDN'T HAVE A DOLLAR TO HIS NAME OR A WINDOW, LITERALLY, TO THROW IT OUT OF. HE INHERITED THE PROPERTY JUST AS THIS YOUNG LADY BACK HERE HAD. AND WE TOLD HIM THAT COST WAS ON HIM. SO IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO START TEARING ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS DOWN AND YOU HAVE CONSENT FROM THE OWNERS, EITHER THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROPERTY THAT THEY OWN. THIS PROPERTY IS ALSO SHOWING IMPROVEMENTS ON MID CAT. SO THE PROPERTY VALUE ACTUALLY WENT UP SINCE LAST YEAR AS IMPROVEMENTS NOT OF LAND INCREASE. SO WE'VE GOT A HUGE DISCREPANCY OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE FROM THE PICTURES THAT WE SEE FROM THE LANDS THAT WE ACTUALLY DRIVE BY.
