Consider the Consent Agenda A member of the City Council may ask for discussion or further information on an item posted as a consent agenda item on the next Regular Meeting of the City Council. The Council Member may also ask that an item on the posted consent agenda be pulled from the consent agenda and considered for a vote separate from consent agenda items on the regular agenda. All discussions or deliberations on this portion of the work session agenda are limited to posted agenda items and may not include a new or unposted subject matter.
Written Briefings: Wastewater New Wholesale Customer Contract Council is requested to authorize a new contract with the Kaufman County Fresh Water Supply District #1A (FWSD).
Annual Performance Update on the City of Garland Housing Agency 2015-2019 Five- Year Plan and Administrative Plan Approval Council is requested to consider approval of the Garland Housing Agency's Annual Performance Update and the Administrative Plan revisions in order for the City of Garland to continue to receive funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide rental assistance to low income families.

Verbal Briefings: Fire Department Presentation of Mechanical CPR Devices The Fire Department will provide a brief presentation and demonstration of the mechanical CPR devices that were authorized by City Council following the closing of Baylor Garland. These devices are performing a high level of CPR and allowing the firefighters to be safer during the longer transports to hospitals outside of Garland. The device provides compressions that are the right depth, the right rate, and without tiring . These devices have not only helped our firefighters but have also increased the effectiveness and efficiencies on scenes where CPR is called for.
Consideration and discussion regarding a 2019 Bond Program Staff will provide a presentation outlining the tax rate impacts of a bond program based on different funding levels and implementation schedules.

Amendments to the Garland Development Code (GDC) Regarding Institutionalized Care of Alcoholic, Drug Dependent or Psychiatric Patients The Garland Development Code (GDC) does not currently define or recognize the institutionalized care of psychiatric, alcoholic or drug dependent patients in the applicable list of land uses. The former development code [Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, No. 4647] defined these uses but it did not carry over into the adoption of the GDC in 2015. In order to address these types of uses consistently in the future, the proposed amendments formally define them, based on the previous code’s definition, and establish in which zoning districts to allow them--by Specific Use Provision (SUP).
Heritage Tourism Program Staff will provide a briefing to the City Council on proposed projects for the Heritage Tourism Program. In the FY18 Operating Budget, Council approved funding for the program with the goal of promoting Downtown as a tourist destination.
