POPULAR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR CITY COUNCIL. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS IS OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON THE 2024 PROPOSED HIPPIE. WE ARE SCHEDULED FOR A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE REGULAR WORK THE REGULAR SESSION. THERE IS RECEIVED TODAY S STAFF PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE SIP. THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE. I'VE BEEN A MADE OF AWARE OF TO DATE. UM STAFF IS REQUESTING THE REMOVAL OF THE JUPITER ROAD FLOW REVERSAL UNAPPROVED PROJECT UNDER THE WASTEWATER. C I P SECTION, THERE IS NO IMPACT TO THE 2024 PROJECTED PROJECT COSTS OR THE 2024 DEBT ISSUANCE. IS THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS IN THERE JUST REALLY TO INFORM THE COUNCIL OF THE FIVE YEAR PLAN AND A PROJECT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GANNON 2025. BUT UM, STAFF NEEDS SOME FURTHER TIME TO DETERMINE THE EXACT SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT. HOPEFULLY AWAY FOR THE CITY OF RICHARDSON TO PAY FOR IT. HMM THAT IS THE ONLY SLIDE I HAVE TONIGHT. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR ANY DISCUSSION AND FINAL DIRECTION. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. UM, AS WE ALL KNOW, WE'VE BEEN THIS IS OUR USUAL PROCESS HERE OF GOING THROUGH. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCUSS IT. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY PENDING QUESTIONS STILL LEFT OUT. YOU KNOW, STAFF RESPONSE. I THINK ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN FILED. UM IS THERE ANY THING ELSE BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD FOR TOMORROW NIGHT? OBVIOUSLY PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. SO WITH THE PROVE A LITTLE PENDING APPROVAL WILL THE MOTION NEED TO INCLUDE WITH THE WOOD? WELL WE NEED TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THAT ITEM OR OR WOULD BE NO, SIR. UM BY ORDINANCE COUNCILS ACTING ON THE 2024 YEAR OF THE C I P. WE COULD INCLUDE LANGUAGE TO BE SAFE, BUT AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, IT'S NOT REQUIRED BY STATE. THOSE POTENTIAL HEADS UP TO WHOEVER WOULD BE MAKING THAT MOTION TOMORROW NIGHT IF WE NEEDED TO INCLUDE THAT THE LANGUAGE AT THEIR SPOT. VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I HAVE NO ONE IN THE CUBE. SO THANK YOU. AND WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT. THANK YOU. NEXT UP ITEM FOUR. IS CHARTER REVIEW COUNCIL[4. Charter Review Council Discussion]
DISCUSSION. HELLO. GET IT. OH, DON'T STOP. RIGHT HELLO, MAYOR COUNCIL. LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE MORE THAN THREE SLIDES. I THINK I'VE GOT FIVE. SO WE'VE TRIED TO. WE TRIED TO KEEP IT SHORT.UM JUST A COUPLE OF LESS, UM, ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION BEFORE WE BRING THIS. THIS IS ON TOMORROW NIGHT'S REGULAR REGULAR AGENDA FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THE IDEA WOULD BE TOMORROW NIGHT. YOU WOULD CALL THE REGULAR ELECTION AND THEN YOU WOULD CALL A SPECIAL ELECTION FOR THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS. SO WE HAVE INCORPORATED ALL OF THE FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION THAT COUNCIL GAVE US AT THE LAST WORK SESSION. WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, UM, THAT WAS HANDED OUT AS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AS WELL AS THE EXHIBIT TO BE ATTACHED THAT INCLUDES LANGUAGE FOR DISCUSSION TONIGHT AND AGAIN. WE WILL FINALIZE THIS IN THE MORNING BASED ON THE DIRECTION YOU GIVE US RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE ARE BASICALLY THREE TOPICS THAT WE WANT TO DISCUSS. REAL QUICK ONE. WE DON'T HAVE A SLIDE FOR BECAUSE IT JUST CAME UP TODAY.
BUT IF YOU ON THE ORDINANCE YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IF YOU FLIP TO PAGE. SIX PROPOSITION THREE HAD A TYPO AND IT WAS EXCLUDING THE ANTI, UM SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION AND TO AVOID THE TYPE OF ALL TOGETHER WE CHANGE THAT TO ADD PROTECTIONS AGAINST GERRYMANDERING, SO THAT'S ON PROPOSITION THREE. SO THAT'S THE TYPE OF THAT'S BEEN CORRECTED THERE AND THEN THE OTHER TWO TOPICS. OUR IT WAS REQUESTED THAT Y'ALL DISCUSS POTENTIALLY ADDING A INCREASE BY C I. P FOR THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER EVERY X NUMBER OF YEARS. SO THIS IS WHAT WAS CONSIDERED AT THE JANUARY 22ND WORK SESSION AGENDA. IF YOU WERE GOING TO ADD LANGUAGE LIKE THAT, I HAVE ANY DARKER COLOR THAT DOES NOT SHOW UP QUITE AS WELL ON THE SCREEN, BUT THE LAST SENTENCE THAT IS UNDERLINED WOULD BE FOR DISCUSSION TONIGHT IF YOU WANT TO ADD AN AUTOMATIC INCREASE BASED ON CPI I EVERY X NUMBER OF YEARS AND BASED ON HOW MANY YEARS WHEN THAT WOULD START
[00:10:04]
FOLLOWING WHEN THE CURRENT INCREASE GOES INTO EFFECT, AND SO WE PRESENT THAT TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION. OKAY? MORRIS EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM YEAH, I SAW THAT IN OUR IN OUR PACKET THAT THIS HAS BEEN ADDED AND I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT BEHIND IT IN THAT MAKES IT MAKING THINGS AUTOMATIC . INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL EVERY SO MANY YEARS.THIS IS ALL A NICE THOUGHT. BUT I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF MAKING US HAVE AUTOMATIC INCREASES. IT ALSO SAYS UM. IF I WERE TO BE IN FAVOR OF THIS, THE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MOST RECENT 12 MONTH CONSUMER PRICE INDEX RATE INCREASE, THERE ARE DECREASES. UM SO THIS WOULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE US ONLY GETTING THE UPSIDE . NEVER THE DOWNSIDE. ANYWAY. I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS. I WOULD RATHER LEAVE THIS TO THE CITIZENS AS A COUNCIL. WE KIND OF RISE AND FALL TOGETHER. UM IF WE MAKE THE CITIZENS, UM, HAPPY WITH OUR WORK, THEY TEND TO WANT TO SUPPORT UM THINGS LIKE THIS SMALL RAISE. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THEM HELPLESS TO SEE US IN A YEAR THAT PERHAPS WE MISBEHAVE AND MAKE THEM ANGRY AND WE GET RAISES ANYWAY. I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO INDIVIDUALLY VOTE. IF WE WANTED TO HAVE ANY INCREASES IN THE FUTURE. I WANT THEM TO PUSH A BUTTON TO GET US THERE. SO I WOULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF AUTOMATIC INCREASES.
THANK YOU. YEAH AND COUNCIL MEMBER GOT WELL, I GUESS I SINCE I'M THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP THIS THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF IT. AND THAT WOULD LARGELY BE I THOUGHT ABOUT OUR DISCUSSION FROM BEFORE AND WHILE IT'S WELL MEANING, AND I UNDERSTAND BE ABLE TO HAVE A MORAL STANDING TO BE ABLE TO SAY WE DON'T GET PAID ANYTHING. GET PAID ZERO I LOOK AT THE MONTHS THAT I'VE BEEN IN OFFICE AND PRIOR TO TAKING THIS THIS SEAT. UM. MY DRY CLEANING BILL WAS ZERO. IT IS NOT ZERO ANY LONGER. I HAVE TO HAVE A SEPARATE PHONE LINE THAT'S REQUIRED. I HAVE TO HAVE ALSO, I HAD TO UPGRADE MY TECHNOLOGY. I BOUGHT $1000 CELL PHONE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE ANY OF THESE THINGS. AND SO AH. THE HOUR. WE HAD A COMMITTEE STUDY COMPENSATION AND WE FELT THAT AFTER FIVE YEARS THAT IT WAS, IT WAS AMPLE TIME TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT. WE AGREED TO WHAT THAT WAS, AND THAT WAS BASED ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX. AND SO I THOUGHT THAT HAVING THAT WHERE WE HAVE IT EVERY FIVE YEARS THAT IT MAKE AN AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S ASKING TOO MUCH. I DON'T THINK IT'S TOO MUCH TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO THE CITIZENS. THEY JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT WE SPEND IN THIS ROLE. AND SO THERE ARE PLENTY THAT THAT HAVE SERVED IN THIS IN THIS CAPACITY AND WILL SERVE IN THIS CAPACITY THAT WILL HAVE THESE EXPENSES AND THEY DO NOT CHANGE AND THEY ONLY GREW UP WITH TIME. SO I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S UNREASONABLE. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THOUGHTS BEFORE WE MOVE FOR CONSENSUS COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M AGAINST THIS AS WELL. I THINK THAT WE HAVE CHARTER REVIEW FREQUENTLY ENOUGH. IT'S GONNA BE EVERY FIVE YEARS OR SO, LIKE COUNCILMAN ART SAID THEN THIS CAN BE PART OF THE COUNCIL OR THE CHARTER REVIEW AT THAT TIME AND DECIDE ON ANY INCREASE AND GIVE IT TO THE VOTERS AND LET THEM DECIDE AS FAR AS THE C I P C P I GOING UP. C I P C P I, THAT'S ALL THE IT'S ONLY GONE DOWN ONE TIME SINCE 1950. SO IT'S NOT I DON'T THINK IT'S ANY RATE. YOU KNOW, OR IN DANGER OF GOING DOWN, BUT I'M AGAINST IT ANYWAY, AND I JUST BELIEVE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITIZENS COULD DECIDE ON AS WELL. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. UH DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MORE. THANK YOU. MR MAYOR TO M AND SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURES. YOU MAY RECALL I ACTUALLY BROUGHT FORTH A LOT MORE FOR THE REQUEST WAS CONCERNED. I JUST FEEL THAT IF NOTHING ELSE WE CAN STILL GIVE IT TO THEM VOTERS AT THE END OF EVERY FIVE YEARS. WITH THE INCREASE ALREADY THERE, BUT BY THE INCREASED BEING THERE WE DON'T HAVE TO, ACTUALLY. GO THROUGH THE RIGMAROLE UP GIVING IT TO THEM, BUT I THINK EVEN MORE THAN THAT AGAIN, I STILL THINK THAT THIS SAD THIS INCREASE. IT'S OKAY. IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO GO ANY FURTHER THAN WHAT WE'VE GOT THERE, BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT WE COULD DO A LOT BETTER LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA RESPONSES TO THIS MOST OF THE CITIZENS THAT I'VE HEARD HAVE
[00:15:05]
SAID, YOU GUYS REALLY OUGHT TO DO BETTER BY OUR CITY COUNCILOR AND MAYOR. I THINK THE OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY DOES NOT HAVE AN INCOME WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BUSINESS. ARE YOU RETIRED, OR YOU NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY COMPENSATION? EVERYBODY DOES NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY. SOME PEOPLE REALLY DO. THIS WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THEM. SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, YES, I FEEL WE NEED THAT AND MORE, BUT I WOULD BE CERTAINLY IN FAVOR OF INCLUDING THE LANGUAGE.THAT IS YOUR PRESENTLY IN THE LANGUAGE THAT GOES FORWARD. THANK YOU, MR BEAR. VERY GOOD.
AND MAYOR PRO TEM BASS. THANK YOU, MARY. UM YEAH, I OPPOSED THIS WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT FORTH AS A RAISE, AND I OPPOSE DEFINITELY OPPOSED AUTOMATIC RAISE. IF ANY ADJUSTMENTS MADE IT ALL IT NEEDS TO BE UP TO THE TO THE UP TO OUR VOTING PUBLIC TO DECIDE. UM SO, YEAH, I'LL BE DEFINITELY AGAINST THIS. THANK YOU. OOPS. SORRY. ALRIGHT AS IT STANDS AT THIS POINT, I HAVE COUNCIL MEMBERS OUGHT AND MORE IN FAVOR OF THE LANGUAGE. UH ADDITION EXCUSE ME AND AGAINST, UH COUNCIL MEMBERS MORRIS HEDRICK AND MAYOR PRO TEM BASS. I WILL ADD MY NAME TO THAT AS WELL. I AM NOT IN FAVOR. UM SO I WAS LOOK TO MY OUR TWO REMAINING COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE WITH US THIS EVENING. COUNCILOR DUTTON IN FAVOR. AND COUNSELOR AND LUCK. IN OUR POSITION. THAT MAKES FIVE SO PROPOSITION FIVE WILL NOT INCLUDE THAT LANGUAGE. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT ONE TOMORROW NIGHT DOES NOT INCLUDE IT. THANK YOU. THE LAST CHANGE TO TALK ABOUT WAS, UH ALL DECIDED, GAVE US DIRECTION LAST TIME TO ADD A DEADLINE FOR THE GOVERNOR TO RESPOND FOR US TO CALL AN ELECTION. AND SO THIS WAS HONESTLY ONE OF THE EASIER CHANGES TO MAKE JUST TEXTUALLY.
BUT SINCE WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOU WANT TO WORK SESSION WAR, I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND THROW IT UP ON THE SCREEN SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WOULD LOOK. SO WE BASED ON YOUR DIRECTION WE PUT IN 30 DAYS OF BEING REQUESTED TO CALL SUCH AN ELECTION. 48. AH! 30 DAYS. YOU KNOW, OKAY. AND THAT IS ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT. WE WILL BRING THIS FORWARD TOMORROW NIGHT AS AN ACTION ITEM. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. NEXT UP ITEM. FIVE IMPACTS OF LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
[5. Impacts of Legislative Changes on Health Revenue]
ON HEALTH REVENUE. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. YOU ONLY HAVE THREE SLIDES. THE THEME FOR THE EVENING, RIGHT? OKAY SO AS A REMINDER IN DECEMBER ON DECEMBER 4TH THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH BROUGHT FORTH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW, THE IDEA THAT POTENTIALLY GETTING RID OF THE FOOD EXCELLENCE AWARD PROGRAM THROUGH AN ORDINANCE ADJUSTMENT OR CHANGE IN YOUR WITH YOUR DIRECTION ON DECEMBER 4TH. WE DID CONTINUE THE FOOD EXCELLENCE AWARDS PROGRAM AND THOSE WERE AWARDED IN LATE DECEMBER OF 2023. SO THERE WERE 63 FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS THAT DID NOT HAVE TO PAY PERMITS FOR THIS YEAR THROUGH THAT AWARD PROGRAM, SO WE DID CONTINUE THAT AT YOUR DIRECTION. UM AT THAT TIME YOU REQUESTED THAT WE COME BACK WITH A SUMMARY OF ALL THE REVENUES THAT WERE, UM, THE REVENUE LOSSES THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH LEGISLATIVE CHANGES. SO THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION. SO THIS IS A TABLE THAT SHOWS ALL THE REVENUE LOSSES THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH IS DEALING WITH BECAUSE OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATIVE CHANGES. THE FIRST ONE, THE BIGGEST ONE FOR THE YEARS. THE MOBILE FOOD PERMIT FEES THAT WE DISCUSSED ON THE FOURTH AS WELL, UH, THIS IS A TOTAL ABOUT 35,000 JUST A LITTLE OVER. THAT ALSO IS THE REGISTERED MANAGER CERTIFICATE. SO THE FOOD MANAGER CERTIFICATE 13,003 80, THEN THE FOOD PREPARATION CARTS AND CATERING TRUCKS. UH, FAIRLY NOMINAL AMOUNT BETWEEN THE TWO OF THOSE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE FIVE OF THOSE REGISTERED IN THE CITY. IT'S JUST OVER $1000 NOT THIS DID NOT OCCUR JUST ONLY THIS YEAR, BUT THE FOOD HANDLER CARDS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS WE'RE STILL GETTING THE INITIAL IMPACTS FROM. BUT NOW THAT IS ABOUT $46,000 REVENUE LOSS. SO WHEN YOU ADD THAT TO THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENT PERMITS THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING IN DECEMBER, THE TOTAL REVENUE LOST FOR THE YEARS ABOUT 124,000. WITHOUT THAT. IT'S ABOUT 95. SO, BELIEVING[00:20:04]
THAT PROGRAM IN SO, LIKE I SAID, WE AT YOUR DIRECTION, WE CONTINUED THE FOOD EXCELLENCE AWARDS PROGRAM. UM WE WILL BE BRINGING A REVISION FOR THE FOOD AND FOOD ESTABLISHMENT ORDINANCE TO YOU. BUT THAT IS GOING TO ONLY FOCUS ON THE CHANGES. WE NEED TO UPDATE AND REALIGN WITH THE TEXAS FOOD ESTABLISHMENT RULES. THEY'VE HAD THREE CHANGES SINCE OUR LAST CHANGE, WHICH IS THAT WAS IN 2015. SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THOSE TO YOU. UM MOST OF THOSE CHANGES ARE BECAUSE THEY ALIGNED WITH THE FDA, AND BY DOING THAT WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR INTERNAL PROCESSES. SO PROBABLY THIS SUMMER WILL BE BRINGING THOSE BACK. SO WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SIDE OF. I SEE NONE. YOU SHOULD MOVE QUICKLY.FRIEND, FRIEND FRIEND USED TO THAT IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR QUESTIONS, THEY WILL SHOW UP.
ALRIGHT WELL, GUESS WHAT? THAT WAS OUR LAST VERBAL BRIEFING FOR THE EVENING. NEXT WE MOVE ON TO
