LEGISLATIVE PRAYER AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE It is the custom and tradition of the members of the City Council to have an invocation and recital of the Pledge of Allegiance prior to the beginning of the meeting. Members of the audience are invited to participate. However, members of the audience are not required to participate. The decision to participate is strictly a matter of personal choice and has no bearing on matters to be considered by the City Council and will not affect the decisions to be made during the meeting.
Mayoral Proclamations, Recognitions and Announcements
The Mayor may present proclamations and recognize attendees or award winners, and may make announcements regarding upcoming City events and matters of interest to citizens. There will be no Council deliberations or votes on these matters.
All items under this section are recommended for approval by a single motion of Council, without discussion. Council has had the opportunity to review each of these items at a previous work session and approval of the consent agenda authorizes the City Manager to implement each item. The Mayor will announce the agenda and provide an opportunity for members of the audience and the City Council to request that an item be removed and considered separately. 1. Consider approval of the minutes of the December 8, 2018 Regular Meeting. 2. Consider approval of the following bids: a. TMPA McCree to Centerville TxDOT Project - Steel Structures and Anchor Bolts Bid No. 0063-19 Techline, Inc. $1,031,159.00 Optional Contingency 103, 115.90 TOTAL: $1,134,274.90 This request is for the purchase of two dead-end and two tangent transmission structures and anchor bolts needed for the relocation of a span of the TMPA McCree to Centerville 345kV Transmission Line. Due to the complex nature of the project, an Optional Contingency is included for any additional materials that may be required. b. Certified Power Train Rebuild for Caterpillar Motor Grader Bid No. 0325-19 Holt Cat $221,910.87 This request is to provide a manufacturer-specific power train rebuild on a Caterpillar 160H motor grader, Unit 160-182, for Hinton Landfill. c. Replacement Mowers for Parks Department Bid No. 0329-19 Zimmerer Kubota & Equipment, Inc. $168,801.50 This request is for the purchase of five replacement Trimax Snake 320 roller mowers for the Parks Department. 3. Adopt by minute action the attached rules of order, which are inclusive of the financial and investment policies and statements required by state law. The City Charter provides that, at the first regular meeting of the Council in January of each year, the Council shall adopt its rules of order (a document that also contains the Council's written policies). Additionally, state law requires the governing body of all cities to adopt certain investment and financial policies on an annual basis. Because the financial and investment policies are contained in and a part of the Council's general rules of order, they are usually adopted at the same time as the Council adopts its general rules of order. 4. Consider a resolution of the City of Garland, Texas, endorsing certain legislative changes to Texas law proposed by the Texas Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America and providing an effective date. At the December 17, 2018 Work Session, Council considered approving a resolution supporting the Texas Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America 2019 Legislation "Slow Down to Get Around" (SDTGA).
Hold a public hearing on: Consider the application of MMA, Inc., requesting approval of 1) an amendment to Planned Development (PD) 84-73 District and 2) an amended Concept Plan on a property (a portion of Tract 13) in Planned Development (PD) 84-73 District for Neighborhood Office Uses.
