Feb 25, 2025 Regular Meetings

WE GOTTA HOLD THAT TROPHY HIGH.

THEM READY? LOOK HERE.

1, 2, 3.

THIS WAY AS WELL.

EVERYBODY ELSE, NOT THE TWO.

ALL ITEM NUMBER

[5. PUBLIC COMMENTS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL]

FIVE, PUBLIC COMMENTS.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE INVITED TO GIVE COMMENTS AT THIS TIME LASTING NO LONGER THAN THREE MINUTES.

COMMENTS MAY BE GENERAL NATURE OR MAY ADDRESS A SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEM.

UH, FIRST PERSON, ONLY PERSON.

LORD TEITSWORTH.

WANT WANT US TO BRING YOU A MIC? OKAY, THIS IS FOR THAT PUBLIC HEARING.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON.

TO WAIT AND LET'S GET SOME PLANS IN PLACE.

NUMBER SEVEN.

UH, HERE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I'M COMING TODAY TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT NINE B 25 0 1 25.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THE, UM, THE RESOLUTION TO RENAME BAY COLONY PARK ON IRVIN STREET TO THE PAT HOLSEY PARK.

I THINK WE'RE PULLING THE, THE CART IN FRONT OF THE HORSE ON THIS ONE.

UM, AND I, I SINCERELY APPRECIATE NAMING A PARK AFTER PAT HALLEY.

HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS TOO SOON.

YOU NEED TO PLAN FOR THIS PARK FIRST.

AND, UM, IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK IN GOOD FAVOR HERE.

UM, IT'S NOT A MEMORIAL PARK 'CAUSE HE IS STILL LIVING AND, UH, WE NEED TO WAIT.

WE NEED TO WAIT ALSO.

UM, I RECOMMEND INSTEAD OF MEMORIAL PARK, MAYBE A LEGACY PARK OR A REMEMBRANCE PARK INSTEAD.

WHY? BECAUSE MEMORIAL PARK IS ALREADY NAMED IN HOUSTON.

AND LEGACY AND, AND OR REMEMBRANCE PARK MIGHT BE A GREAT NAME BECAUSE THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE PARK.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF RENAMING THIS AREA DIFFERENT THAN CALLING IT THE KILLING FIELDS.

I THINK IT'S A VERY POSITIVE MOVE.

UM, BUT I THINK WE'RE PULLING THE HORSE, THE, THE, THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE ON THIS ONE.

AND I, I ASK AND URGE YOU

[00:10:01]

FIRST ABOUT THE PARK.

IS THIS GONNA BE A PARK WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE SOCCER FIELDS? IS THIS GONNA BE A PARK WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE A PLAYGROUND AND CHILDREN ARE RUNNING OVER AN AREA WHERE THERE WERE DECOMPOSING BODIES? LET'S REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS FIRST.

UM, IT, IT REALLY STIRS UP A COUPLE OF FEELINGS HERE THAT IT, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WE ARE THINKING ABOUT IT FIRST, WHERE WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT FOCUSED ON ON THE RIGHT IDEA HERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE DOING CAMPAIGN FAVORS AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU'RE WANTING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE.

I THINK THE IDEA IS GREAT.

I THINK, UM, HE IS WORTHY OF BEING NAMED.

UM, I WOULD PREFER HIM TO BE NAMED AFTER SOMETHING LIKE A SWIMMING POOL 'CAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE APPROPRIATE.

MAYBE A LEAGUE CITY AUDITORIUM.

UM, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO PAUSE AND HOLD ON THIS ISSUE.

THANKS FOR HEARING ME.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE UP, UH, NINE B AT THIS TIME.

SECOND MOTION IS TO MOVE UP.

NINE B PLEASE VOTE.

OH, MR. SAUNDERS.

EIGHT FOUR, NONE AGAINST NINE

[9B. 25-0125 Consider and take action on a resolution to rename the Bay Colony Park on Ervin Street to the Pat Hallisey Park (Mayor Long, Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones, Council Member Justin Hicks)]

CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION TO RENAME BAY COLONY PARK ON IRVIN STREET TO PAT HALLEY PARK MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RENAME THE BAY COLONY PARK TO THE PAT HALSEY PARK, WHICH WILL INCLUDE A MEMORIAL, A TRAIL SYSTEM, AND GARDEN FOR THE THREE GIRLS THAT WERE MURDERED NEAR AL ROAD.

THE DESIGN OF THE MEMORIAL TRAIL SYSTEM AND GARDEN WILL BE SUBMITTED TO COUNSEL FOR FINAL APPROVAL AT A LATER DATE.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO GIVE THE PERMISSION TO THE CITY MANAGER TO START THE DESIGN NOW TO BRING BACK TO COUNCIL SECOND POINT OF ORDER.

UM, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE CAN'T ADD THINGS TO A MOTION THAT AREN'T ADDRESSED IN THE AGENDA ITEM.

IS THAT CORRECT? IT GOES TO THE ISSUE OF DID WE GIVE THE PUBLIC PROPER NOTICE? AND SO WHENEVER WE HAVE, UH, MOTIONS TO AMEND THAT ADD THINGS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY OUT OF IT, OPENS US UP TO CRITICISM THAT WE DIDN'T GIVE PUBLIC THE NOTICE THAT THEY WERE, THIS WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS VOTED ON.

SO CERTAINLY WE CAN ADD IT ONTO A FUTURE AGENDA IF THE COUNCIL DESIRES, WHICH IS I THINK WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER OR MAYOR PRO TIM COS IS MAYBE ASKING, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO RENAME THIS, UH, PART FROM THE BAY COLONY PARK TO THE MAYOR OR TO, UH, PAT HALSEY PARK, PLEASE TONIGHT WE'LL BRING BACK THE OTHER INFORMATION AND I'LL UPDATE MY SECOND.

DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS MR. TRE? SORRY, I THOUGHT IT WAS CLICKED.

I WAS UNCLICKING.

SO JUST SO I'M CLEAR, TOMMY'S MOVED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL, THE ORIGINAL MOTION, THE ORIGINAL ITEM.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, BRING THE OTHER UP LATER.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND RENAME THE PARK MEMORIAL PARK AND HONOR THE VICTIMS. I'LL SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO AMEND TO RENAME THE PARK MEMORIAL PARK.

WE'RE VOTING ON THE MOTION TO AMEND.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK.

TO THOSE FOUR GIRLS, HEIDI FI, LAURA MILLER, AUDREY COOK, AND DONNA POME.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

SO I'LL HAVE MORE TO SAY ANOTHER TIME, UM, ABOUT MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE PROCESS THAT WAS FOLLOWED WHERE WE GOT THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

UH, THE PRIMARY ISSUE AT THE MOMENT IS THAT IF WE HAD FOLLOWED A BETTER PROCESS, WE WOULDN'T BE LEFT WITH THE CHOICE THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE RIGHT NOW.

UM, THE CHOICE THAT WE'RE BEING FORCED TO MAKE AS NOW PRESENTED, UM, WAS A RESULT OF A FLAWED PROCESS.

AND WE'RE BEING TOLD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HONORING THE FORMER MAYOR OR GIVING PROPER SIGNIFICANCE TO A MEMORIAL FOR THE VICTIMS WHOSE BODIES WERE FOUND IN THAT AREA.

IT'S GOING TO BE ARGUED BY THOSE WHO PUT THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA, UM, THAT ASKING TO NAME THIS AS A MEMORIAL FOR THOSE VICTIMS IS AN EFFORT TO JAM UP THE HONOR INTENDED FOR

[00:15:01]

THE FORMER MAYOR.

THAT'S NOT MY INTENTION.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S COUNCILMAN CHAD WELL'S INTENTION.

AND IT'S SAD THAT WE'RE GOING TO PLAY POLITICS WITH THIS WHEN IF WE HAD FOLLOWED A BETTER PROCESS, WE COULD HAVE WORKED OUT A SOLUTION WHEREIN THE FORMER MAYOR IS HONORED IN A WAY ACCEPTABLE TO, UH, HIS FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS.

AND YET WE WOULDN'T MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROPERLY KEEP THE MEMORY OF THOSE VICTIMS ALIVE.

SOME WILL SAY THAT DOING SOMETHING EXTRA LATER AT THE PARK, SUCH AS A PLAQUE OR DESIGNATING A PORTION OF THE PARK TO A MEMORIAL GARDEN WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR MEMORIALIZING THE GIRLS.

I SAY THAT TAKES AWAY FROM BOTH THEIR MEMORY AND THE HONOR FOR THE FORMER MAYOR.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF RESOURCES AND AMENITIES IN THIS CITY, WHICH AREN'T NAMED AFTER ANYONE.

WHY SPLIT THE HONOR AT THIS ONE LOCATION? AND I CAN'T COME UP WITH ANY LOGICAL REASON OTHER THAN THE PRIDE OF THE MAIN PROPONENT WHO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING TO SAY, THIS WAS MY IDEA AND I GOT THIS DONE.

WHEN WE CONSIDER NAMING THINGS AFTER FOLKS, THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS THAT SHOULD PLAY INTO THE DECISION.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, THERE SHOULD BE A TIE BETWEEN THE RESOURCE AND THE PERSON, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THEY DONATE THE LAND.

WAS THERE A SPECIFIC TIE TO THE FUNCTION? PRIME EXAMPLE OF GETTING THAT RIGHT HAPPENED WHEN WE NAMED A BALL FIELD AFTER MALCOLM DAILEY AT OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

A MAN WHO SPENT DECADES VOLUNTEERING AS A COACH FOR THE BOYS PLAYING ON THAT BALL FIELD.

WHEN WE APPLY THAT MEASURE TO BAY COLLEEN PARK, THERE'S NO SPECIAL TIE TO THE FORMER MAYOR.

WHILE HE VOTED TO APPROVE THE DESIGN WHILE HE WAS MAYOR, SO DID THE REST OF THE COUNCIL.

BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN THIS CITY THAT DO HAVE SPECIAL TIES TO MAYOR HALLEY.

I KNOW I AND SOME OTHERS UP HERE SAT THROUGH HOURS OF LECTURES FROM PAT HALLEY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF REMEMBERING OUR TOWN'S HISTORY.

HE FOUGHT MANY TIMES FOR FUNDING PROJECTS TO IMPROVE HERITAGE PARK.

IT MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE TO NAME THAT HALLEY HERITAGE PARK.

HE ALSO SPENT YEARS COACHING SWIM TEAMS IN TOWN, SO IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE MORE SENSE TO NAME WHEN THE SWIMMING POOL'S AFTER.

I'M SURE THERE'S OTHER OPTIONS.

THOSE ARE JUST TWO THAT I THOUGHT OF.

AND THOSE ARE TWO WHERE THERE'S SPECIAL TIES THAT WOULD MAKE AN AN HONORARY NAME THAT MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL.

AND WE COULD HAVE HAD THAT IF WE HAD FOLLOWED A BETTER PROCESS HERE.

BUT BECAUSE THE WAY THIS WAS PRESENTED AS A SOLUTION DEVELOPED IN A VACUUM AND THE WAY THE PROPONENTS ARE MAKING ANY CONCEPT OF A DIFFERENT SOLUTION NOW TO BE AN ATTACK ON THE LEGACY OF THE FORMER MAYOR, IT'S A CONVERSATION WE DIDN'T GET TO HAVE.

MEANWHILE, THIS PARK IS BEING BUILT RIGHT NEXT TO THE SPOT WHERE FOUR VICTIMS WERE FOUND, WHICH MEANS THERE IS A SPECIAL TIE FOR A NAME SUCH AS MEMORIAL PARK OR REMEMBRANCE PARK.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S A SPOT THAT MANY OUTSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND IN OUR COMMUNITY IDENTIFY AS THE KILLING FIELDS.

I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK WITH TIM MILLER, FOUNDER OF EQU SEARCH, AN ORGANIZATION THAT LOOKS FOR MISSING PEOPLE AND KIDS THAT SPRUNG OUT OF TIM MILLER'S EXPERIENCE AS THE PARENT OF ONE OF THE GIRLS THAT WAS FOUND AT THIS LOCATION.

WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A CHANCE TO HONOR THEM AND TO MEMORIALIZE THEM, HE GOT EMOTIONAL.

AND HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THAT HAVING SOMETHING WHICH TAKES AWAY THE NAME KILLING FIELDS AND TURNS THIS PLACE INTO A POSITIVE FOR MANY FAMILIES IN OUR AREA WHERE THEY CAN GO AND ENJOY WATCHING A BALL GAME WITH THEIR FAMILY AND REMEMBER THESE GIRLS AND NOT JUST WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, BUT THE GOOD THINGS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN AND NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO BE.

I DON'T WANT TO JUST BUILD OVER THE PAST AND FORGET IT'S THERE.

AND I FEEL IF WE JUST STICK A, A GARDEN IN THE BACK OF THE PARK, BUT NAME THE PARK AFTER MAYOR HALSY, THAT'S LETTING THEM BE FORGOTTEN.

SO I ENCOURAGE MY PEERS UP HERE ON THE DIOCESE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT FOR THIS UNIQUE CHANCE TO TURN SOMETHING TRAGIC THAT HAPPENED IN THIS CITY INTO A POSITIVE WAY TO REMEMBER AND HONOR THOSE VICTIMS. WE CAN STILL DO SOMETHING JUST AS MEANINGFUL OR MORE TO HONOR THE MAYOR AND OTHER FOLKS AT THE MANY OTHER PLACES IN THIS TOWN, BUT THIS IS OUR ONE CHANCE TO HAVE SOMETHING WITH A MEANINGFUL TIE

[00:20:01]

LET'S DO THAT WHILE WE HAVE THE CHANCE.

MS. GOMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

LET ME, LET ME TELL EVERYBODY HOW THIS CAME ABOUT.

AND IT WASN'T A POLITICAL FAVOR, IT WASN'T JUST 'CAUSE I WANTED TO PUT IT UP THERE.

PAT HALSEY.

I PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AND I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE POLICY OF THE CITY.

LET ME READ IT TO YOU JUST REAL, REAL QUICKLY.

UH, IT WAS ADOPTED MARCH THE 24TH, 2009, NUMBER 12 B.

SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT IF YOU LIKE.

PART OF THE POLICY SAYS VERY CLEARLY WHEN RENAMING A PARK, IT SAYS, THE CITY COUNCIL MAY UPON ITS OWN INITIATIVE AND AT ITS OWN DIRECTION, NAME OR RENAME A CITY FACILITY WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES.

AND THESE GUIDELINES ARE THE CRITERIA FOR NAMING A PARK, LIKE BEING A CIVIC LEADER HERE IN THE CITY, UH, DONATING THE LAND AND SO FORTH.

BUT IT SAYS THE COUNCIL CAN BYPASS THAT, THAT, UH, GUIDELINE, WHICH I DID.

I CONTACTED THE MAYOR AND I CONTACTED, UH, UM, COUNCILMAN HICKS TO BE A SPONSOR ON IT.

THEY BOTH AGREED, THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA.

THE REASON I'M PICKING PAT HALAS, HE IS, HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 50 YEARS IN THIS CITY.

DURING HURRICANE HARVEY, THE MAN LOST A LEG, HAD A HEART ATTACK, AND ALMOST DIED FOR THIS CITY BECAUSE OF HIS ACTIONS TRYING TO OPEN A COMMUNITY CENTER AND BEING HERE.

NOT ONLY THAT, HE WAS THE FIRST PARKS DIRECTOR FOR LEAGUE CITY.

UM, HE STARTED MANY OF THE SWIM PROGRAMS IN THE CITY AND HE CONTINUED THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

HE STARTED LEAGUE CITY PROUD, AN ORGANIZATION THAT WASN'T STARTED BY THE CITY.

IT WAS STARTED BY THREE MEMBERS AND HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS HOLIDAY IN THE PARK.

I CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON, TALK ABOUT THE CIVIC, UH, RESPONSIBILITIES AND HIS LOVE FOR THIS CITY.

THAT'S WHY I NAMED THE PARK AFTER PAT HALAS HERE, REQUESTED THE NAME OF IT.

ONCE I HEARD ABOUT, UH, MR. MILLER, WHO I, I CERTAINLY DO ADMIRE, UM, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEAL TO MAYBE TRY TO COMPROMISE AND TO PUT A MEMORIAL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES SAID.

THEY WANTED, UH, TO PUT A MEMORIAL IN THE PARK ITSELF AND PUT A TRAIL, A GARDEN TO HONOR THE, THE YOUNG WOMEN WHO WERE MURDERED.

UH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT COMPROMISE, BUT APPARENTLY IT'S NOT TONIGHT.

AND I UNDERSTAND.

UM, BUT PAT HALLEY DESERVES A PARK IN THIS CITY.

AND JUST LIKE WE DID WITH MALCOLM LAST COUNCIL MEETING, WE NAMED, UH, A PHIL AFTER HIM.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS AFTER HE DIED.

AND, YOU KNOW, I HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF COMMENTS UP HERE TONIGHT ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HONOR OUR MAYORS, OUR, OUR CIVIC LEADERS WHO HAVE DONE GREAT THINGS FOR THIS CITY AND WENT BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY.

NOW, UH, PAT HAS DONE THAT.

I DON'T THINK, UH, THERE'S ANYBODY IN THIS CITY THAT WOULD SAY THAT PAT WAS NEVER, UH, A CIVIC LEADER FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND HAS DONE EVERYTHING FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

I AGREE THAT MR. MILLER'S, UH, UH, CHILD NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED, AND THAT'S WHY I PLACED IN THE MOTION TONIGHT TO LET'S DO A NICE GARDEN.

I NEVER SET A SMALL GARDEN IN THE BACK OF THE PARK.

THAT'S MY COLLEAGUE OVER HERE WHO'S TRYING TO DRESS DOWN THE, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE, UH, THE PARK ITSELF.

UM, YOU KNOW, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FRIENDSHIP OR ANYTHING ELSE.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY SPURRED FROM MALCOLM DAILEY THE OTHER NIGHT, AND MR. HARRIS, AFTER, AFTER WE NAMED THE PARK OVER THERE, NOW, MY COLLEAGUES HAD THE SAME, THE SAME IDENTICAL TIME-WISE AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO PUT STUFF ON THE AGENDA, AND THEY NEVER DID.

ONCE I PLACED IT ON THE AGENDA, THEN THEY STARTED PLAYING GAMES, CALLING MR. MILLER, TRYING TO GET HIM INVOLVED.

AND I APOLOGIZED DEEPLY, MR. MILLER, THAT, UH, YOU WERE CALLED AND, AND BROUGHT INTO THIS SITUATION.

I EVEN CALLED YOU TRYING TO GET A, UH, A CONVERSATION WITH YOU, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MILLER FAMILY AND THEIR DEDICATION, UH, TO THEIR DAUGHTER.

BUT THE REASON I'M SUPPORTING PAT HALLEY AND TRYING TO NAME A, UH, A PARK AFTER HIM IS HE HAS DONE TREMENDOUS THINGS FOR THIS CITY.

HE'S BEEN THE MAYOR THREE TIMES IN THIS CITY.

UM, I, I CAN'T THINK OF A ANOTHER PERSON TO RECOGNIZE AND, UH, I'M NOT GONNA WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO DIE OF THEIR NAME, THINGS AFTER HIM.

LIKE TO START OFF SAYING THIS, THIS MOTION WA WAS MADE IN NO WAY TO, IT WAS, WAS NOT INTENDED TO DISRESPECT FORMER MAYOR PAT EY DISCREDIT ANY OF HIS CONTRIBU TO THE COMMUNITY.

I'D

[00:25:01]

HE HAS DONE SOME GREAT THINGS.

YOU KNOW, 50 YEARS IS A LONG TIME, EXCUSE ME.

UH, ALSO HOLD NO ILL FEELINGS TOWARDS COUNCILMAN CONES OR THE CO-SPONSORS SUPPORTING THE ORIGINAL AGENDA ITEM.

WE JUST SIMPLY DISAGREE ON WHAT THE BAY CONLEY PARK SHOULD BE CALLED.

LIKE ANY OTHER AGENDA ITEM, WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR POSITION.

WE'LL VOTE ON IT.

THERE'S REALLY NO MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

UM, SHORTLY AFTER I READ THIS ITEM WAS COMING UP ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

I DID REALIZE WE COULD BE MISSING OUT ON A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL BECAUSE BAY CONLEY PARK IS BEING BUILT ON AND AROUND THE KILLING FIELDS, WE COULD PIVOT FOREVER, MEMORIALIZED VICTIMS OF THOSE HORRIBLE CRIMES BY NAMING THE PARK AND THEIR HONOR.

I REACHED OUT TO A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS TO SEE IF THERE'D BE ANY SUPPORT FOR IT, AND THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO CONNECT WITH TIM MILLER, GET HIS THOUGHTS.

TIM'S DAUGHTER, HER KNIGHT, WAS ONE OF THE FOUR VICTIMS. HER BODY WAS DISCOVERED MERE YARDS FROM WHERE THIS PARK'S GONNA BE BUILT.

I WORKED A SEARCH WITH TIM IN TEXAS, EQU SEARCH ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO.

3-YEAR-OLD BOY NAMED KENDRICK JACKSON.

TIM DIDN'T REMEMBER ME WHEN I CALLED AND INTRODUCED MYSELF, BUT HE REMEMBERED EVERY DETAIL OF THAT KENDRICK JACKSON SEARCH.

AND THAT IMPRESSED ME.

EXPLAINED TO TIM THAT THERE WAS AN IDEA OUT THERE TO TRY TO NAME THE PARK AFTER THE GIRLS AND LET HIM KNOW THERE'S ALREADY ANOTHER NAME BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE PARK.

JUST TO GAUGE HIS INTEREST.

AND I, I ASKED HIM IF, UH, HE WOULD, IF I COULD HAVE HIS PERMISSION TO PROCEED.

THE PHONE WENT QUIET.

AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, TIM BEGAN TO SPEAK MOTION IN HIS VOICE, TOLD ME IT MEANS SO MUCH TO THESE FAMILIES, IF WE COULD NAME IT MEMORIAL PARK IN THEIR HONOR.

I ADVISED HIM IT WOULD BE TOUGH TO PICK UP THE VOTES, BUT I WOULD CERTAINLY GO TO WORK.

NEXT CALL I MADE WAS TO COUNCILMAN CONES TO DISCUSS MY THOUGHTS WITH HIM WHILE HE AGREED WE SHOULD HONOR THE VICTIMS IN SOME WAY.

WE SIMPLY COULDN'T FIND A COMPROMISE THAT WE WERE BOTH SATISFIED WITH.

AND IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG DO THE MATH, REALIZED I WASN'T GETTING THE VOTES NECESSARY FOR THE MOTION TO PASS.

A COUPLE DAYS WENT BY AND I WAS STILL WORKING UP THE COURAGE TO TELL TIM IT WASN'T LOOKING GOOD WHEN MY PHONE RANG, IT WAS TIM.

HE WANTED TO MEET UP THE NEXT DAY FOR LUNCH.

I, I EXPLAINED TO HIM, UH, I DIDN'T THINK I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SUPPORT WE NEEDED, BUT, UH, TIM BEING NO STRANGER TO DISAPPOINTMENT, SAID, LET'S JUST GO TO LUNCH TOMORROW.

SO WE SAT THERE AT RED RIVER, LISTENED TO TIM RECOUNT SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT THE CRIMES AGAINST HIS 16-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

HORRIBLE THINGS NO FATHER SHOULD EVER HAVE TO VERBALIZE.

HE EXPLAINED HOW LORD HAD BEEN DRUGGED, RAPED, BRUTALLY MURDERED, AND TOSSING A FIELD.

I LISTENED TO THE HEARTBREAK IN HIS VOICE.

I COULD SEE THE PAIN IN HIS EYES, PAIN THAT HE LIVES WITH EVERY DAY.

TIM GOT QUIET AND HE LOOKED ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE, SAID THESE GIRLS DESERVE TO HAVE THIS PARK NAMED THEIR HONOR.

HE ASKED ME TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR HIM.

THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT TIM MILLER, IT'S NOT ABOUT PAT HOLSEY.

IT'S ABOUT THESE VICTIMS KEEPING HER MEMORY ALIVE.

IT'S ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF.

SO I'M APPEALING TO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO FIND THE COURAGE, DO WHAT'S RIGHT TONIGHT, JOIN ME BEING A VOICE FOR THESE VICTIMS WHO NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE.

LAURA, AUDREY, HEIDI, DONNA.

LET THIS PART BE NAMED IN A WAY THAT HONORS THEM AND ALSO SERVES AS A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL FEMALE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE.

OKAY, PLEASE VOTE.

THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE MOTION TO AMEND, THE MOTION TO AMEND TO, TO CHANGE THE NAME TO MEMORIAL.

THIS IS COURTNEY'S AMENDMENT.

THIS IS COURTNEY'S AMENDMENT RIGHT.

UH, MOTION FAILS.

THREE TO FIVE.

ALRIGHT, THE MOTION, THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE MAYOR AND THAT WE, I THINK WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

A MOTION TO POSTPONE THE PRECEDENT.

PRECEDENT MOTION.

I MOVE TO POSTPONE UNTIL WE HAVE SUCH TIME AS IT GATHERS SUFFICIENT COMMUNITY INPUT.

THIS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE.

THIS IS NOT THE COUNCIL'S PARK.

THIS WILL BE THE CITY'S PARK.

I PUT A POLL ON FACEBOOK TO SEE WHAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST WOULD BE.

92% OF RESPONDENTS, BUT WE SHOULD HONOR THESE VICTIMS. LET'S JUST MAKE THE MOTION.

SO THE MOTION IS TO POSTPONE UNTIL WE GET SUFFICIENT CITIZEN INPUT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALRIGHT, THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

[00:30:08]

[6. CONSENT AGENDA]

GO BACK TO NUMBER SIX.

ANYONE PULLING ANYTHING? IF NOT, PLEASE VOTE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED EVERYBODY TO COME UP THOUGH BEHIND, SO IT'S FABE BUENO.

EIGHT FOUR.

PUBLIC HEARING.

SEVEN.

A HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

SUP DASH 24 DASH 0 0 0 6.

LAWRENCE ROAD OFFICE BUILDING FOR AN OFFICE USE ON APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE ZONED RSF DASH 10, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 10.

GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST INTERSECTION OF LAWRENCE ROAD AND DALLAS ANDRE LANE.

WITH THE ADDRESS OF 2106 LAWRENCE ROAD.

WE'LL OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 31.

UH, FIRST PERSON IS MICHAEL PATRON, AND THEN IT'LL BE JUDY PALMER IF YOU WANNA COME UP NEXT.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL.

MY NAME IS MICHAEL PETRON JR.

AND I'M A RESIDENT AT 2126 LAWRENCE ROAD, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES 36 12 DEANDRE LANE.

BOTH OF THESE COULD BE FOUND UNDER THE PROPERTY TAX ID 3 8 3 8 4 4.

I'M NOT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, BUT I DO HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY.

WHO IS MY GRANDMOTHER? JUDY PALMER.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR HEARING OUR VOICES.

AS OWNERS OF THE PROPERTIES IN THE 200 FOOT ZONE OF THE PROPOSED SUP AREA, I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE THE MOST SAY IN THIS SITUATION AS OUR PROPERTY FULLY SURROUNDS 2106 LAWRENCE, I AM IN FULL OPPOSITION OF A BUSINESS BEING RAN AT THIS SITE.

IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ARE A TIGHT KNIT GROUP AND ALL KNOW EACH OTHER.

HAVING A BUSINESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WOULD RUIN THAT, OR HAVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WOULD RUIN THAT THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE UNKNOWN INDIVIDUALS ACCOMMODATING A BUSINESS SURROUNDING MY PROPERTY.

I JUST, I, I JUST DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE A BUSINESS IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING A STATEMENT BY A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE, UH, STUCK WITH ME.

THEY STATED THAT THERE ARE BUSINESSES UP AND DOWN LAWRENCE ROAD.

THIS IS NOT TOTALLY TRUE.

AND OUR DISTINCT AREA, THE BUSINESSES ARE ON THE KEA SIDE OF THE ROAD, NOT LAKE CITY.

WHILE THERE ARE BUSINESS ON OUR SIDE, THERE ARE FARTHER DOWN.

LAWRENCE HEADING TOWARDS FIVE 18 AND ACROSS FIVE 18 TOWARDS 2094.

THE ONLY BUSINESS ON OUR SIDE IS, UH, UH, WEST COAST VALVE, I BELIEVE.

OTHER THAN THAT, THERE ARE NO, UH, BUSINESSES ON OUR SIDE OF LAWRENCE ROAD.

UH, SO, UH, WITH THAT, UH, THANK YOU FOR, UH, CONSIDERATION AND HEARING OUR STATEMENTS AND, UH, HOPE YOU, UH, VOTE IN OUR FAVOR.

THANKS, JUDY PALMER.

AND THEN IT'S FAVE WAY NOW, SO IF YOU GUYS CAN COME UP, UH, BEHIND, SO WE, BECAUSE WE HAVE A, A BIG LIST OF PEOPLE TO GET THROUGH TOO SHORT.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR, UM, REQUEST THIS EVENING.

MY NAME IS JUDY PALMER AND I HAVE LIVED IN LEAGUE CITY FOR NEARLY FOUR DECADES.

I OWN THE PROPERTY AT 2126 LAWRENCE ROAD, WHICH IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND I ALSO OWN THE PROPERTY AT 36 12 DANDRE LANE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

UM, PRETTY MUCH FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT ALL THE BUSINESSES.

THERE ARE NO BUSINESSES ON LAWRENCE'S SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THERE ARE ON THE KEA SIDE, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR PROPERTY.

SO THE, UM, FURTHERMORE, WHAT IS THE, THE KEA SIDE IS BESIDE THE POINT AND SHOULD HAVE NO BEARING ON THE GRANT, ON THE DECISION TO GRANT A SUP IN LEAGUE CITY.

THAT BEING SAID, I AM ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO ISSUING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT 2106.

EXCUSE ME, LAWRENCE ROAD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

FABE BUENO.

[00:35:02]

THEN DON BUENO.

SO THAT'S LINE.

LET'S LINE UP IN ORDER.

HELLO, MY NAME'S FAYE BUENO.

I LIVE AT 35 27 DEANDRE LANE, AND I'VE LIVED THERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

20 YEARS.

I'M STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, DON BUENO.

AND THEN ARMANDO BUENO.

MY NAME'S AIDEN BUENO.

I'VE BEEN A LIFELONG RESIDENT AT 35 27 DANDRE LANE.

I'M STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE USE OF A SPECIAL PERMIT.

THEY'RE FANTASTIC NEIGHBORS.

IT'S ARMANDO BUENO, AND THEN PATRICK KURBO.

GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, LONG AND DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ARMANDO BUENO.

I HAVE LIVED AT 35 27 DEANDRE LANE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

LIKE THE MAJORITY OF MY NEIGHBORS WE'RE LONG STANDING CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT CITY WHO HAVE RAISED OUR KIDS HERE AND SOON WILL RAISE OUR GRANDKIDS AS WELL.

WE GATHER HERE AS A UNITED FRONT AGAINST THIS APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST.

WE ARE HERE TO PROTEST THIS SUP FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.

BY ALLOWING THIS APPLICANT TO CONVERT THIS RESIDENTIAL HOME TO A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR PROPERTY VALUES.

ADDITIONALLY, THIS WILL ALTER THE FABRIC OF OUR SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD LANDSCAPE WHILE UNFAIRLY BENEFITING ONE PROPERTY OWNER AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL OTHERS.

IN ADDITION, THIS APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS COUNCIL TO UNFAIRLY EXEMPT HIM FROM THE BUILDING CODES THAT APPLY TO ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL APPLICANTS.

SOME OF THE REQUESTED VARIANTS ARE LIFE SAFETY CODES SUCH AS DEAD END DRIVEWAYS, WHICH ARE PROHIBITED AT LAKE CITY AND THE REDUCTION OF FIRE LANE SIZE.

THIS WAS, THIS WOULD MOST CERTAINLY IMPAIR OUR FIREFIGHTER'S MOBILITY IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

NOT TO MENTION THE ALLOWED USE OF GRAVEL PAVING, WHICH IS NOT CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING 75,000 POUNDS OR THE EQUIVALENT WEIGHT OF A FIRE TRUCK.

THE 10 REQUEST FROM THIS APPLICANT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY CANNOT SUSTAIN THE CITY ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS.

WE WOULD HOPE THAT THIS COUNCIL DOES.

WE WOULD HOPE THAT IF THIS COUNCIL DOES RULE IN THE APPLICANT'S FAVOR THAT THEY ENFORCE ALL BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCES REQUESTED, AND WILL HOPE THAT THIS WILL NOT SET A PRECEDENCE THAT THIS WILL CONVEY TO FUTURE APPLICANTS TO ALLOW UNBRIDLED ZONING CHANGES THROUGHOUT OUR CITY.

IN CLOSING, WE VOTED FOR MANY OF YOU ON THIS COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTED VALUES YOU PLEDGE TO UPHOLD.

NOW WE ASK FOR YOUR VOTE RETURN.

THE PROPER VOTE IS NO TO THE SUP 24 0 0 6.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

PATRICK KURBO AND THEN CONNIE CARPET.

GOOD EVENING.

MY WIFE'S A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER TODAY, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE.

SO I'M GONNA TALK FOR BOTH OF US.

UH, WE LIVE AT 36 20 DANDRE LANE, WHICH IS ON THE CORNER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SAID PROPERTY.

I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT.

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, THERE'S A WAREHOUSE ACROSS THE STREET.

ON ONE SIDE OF ME, THERE'S A DENTIST OFFICE, AND THEN THERE'S THIS GENTLEMAN'S BUSINESS.

ALL THREE HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONAL NEIGHBORS.

THEY KEEP THEIR PROPERTIES CLEAN, THEY'RE NEAT.

THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS.

THEY'VE DONE UPGRADES TO THE BUILDING, WHICH IMPROVED THE, THE AESTHETICS OF THE BUILDING.

THEY'VE APPROVED THE AESTHETICS OF THE LANDSCAPE, UM, AND WE'RE VERY PLEASED THAT THEY'RE THERE.

WE LOVE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE SAFE.

THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO NOISE.

UH, THEY PROMISED US ON DAY ONE THEY'D BE OUT THERE BY 5:00 PM THEY'VE HELD THEIR WORD TO THAT.

SO I SEE NO, NO REASON WHY WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM CHANGE THIS.

CHANGE THIS PERMIT.

UH, TAMMY PHILLIPS AND THEN MARK PHILLIPS.

NO, I'M SORRY ABOUT THE, OKAY.

AND THEN IT'S ARMANDO BUENO, BUT I ASSUME YOU GOOD MR. BUENO? OKAY.

I LIVE ON 3 3 4, 4 LANE.

CAN I, I'LL GO THROUGH THE LIST, THE WHOLE LIST AND I'LL PUT YOU AT THE END.

YEP.

AND THEN, SORRY, IT'S, I'M HAVING TROUBLE READING THIS, BUT IT'S GUSS

[00:40:01]

I BELIEVE.

MAYOR, I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF A NOW OR HAVE TO WAIT, UH, FOR THE ITEMS. I JUST SIGN UP.

YOU ON THE LIST.

YOU CAN DO IT NOW.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAR COUNSEL.

MY NAME IS GUS ABEL AND I'M HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF ONSITE CONCRETE SOLUTIONS.

WITH ME ARE MIKE PEAK.

HE'S THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS, ALSO BRUCE HENDERSON AND JEFF CART, WHO ARE PROJECT MANAGERS FOR THE FOR ONSITE.

FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE THANK Y'ALL FOR CONSIDERING THIS TONIGHT.

UM, WITH ANY SUP, WE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT, THAT IT, IT REQUIRES A LOT.

UH, THE REASON WITH ONSITE IS HERE TO REQUEST THE SUP IS TO OPERATE A OFFICE.

THAT'S WHY THE COMMERCIAL ZONING WAS NOT PROPOSED.

THIS, THE SUP WAS PART OF A DELIBERATIVE PROCESS TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF AN OFFICE THAT WILL PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES TO ONSITE CONCRETE SOLUTIONS.

ONSITE IS A LARGE SCALE CONCRETE MIXING COMPANY, BUT THAT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING AT THIS PROPERTY.

THAT IS NOT PROPOSED.

THAT IS NOT PERMITTED THAT WHAT YOU VOTE ON TONIGHT WOULD NOT, WILL NOT PERMIT THAT.

I WANNA BE CLEAR WITH EVERYONE.

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY.

PRIOR TO ONSITE'S PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, I REQUEST, OR THIS BEST I CAN TELL, WAS AN AIRBNB PARTY HOUSE.

I REQUESTED CALLS INFORMATION ABOUT CALLS FOR SERVICE.

THERE WERE CALLS FOR NOISE VIOLATIONS AND OTHER ISSUES THAT WOULD, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, NOT GOOD NEIGHBORS.

YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBORS TONIGHT WHO LIVE RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

THEY HAVE TOLD YOU ABOUT HOW THESE ARE, IN FACT, GOOD NEIGHBORS.

MOVING FURTHER, THE, UH, HIGHEST AND BEST USE ON SITE IS A LAR.

AS I SAID, THEY'RE A LARGE CONCRETE MIXING COMPANY.

THIS WILL BE THE OFFICE AND FINANCES WILL PROV FINANCIAL SERVICES WILL BE THE ON ONSITE, OR WILL BE THE SITE OF A LO OF A MAJORITY OF THE APPROXIMATELY $450 MILLION WORTH OF SALES MAKING LEAGUE CITY.

THE TAXABLE SIDE IS FOR THAT, UH, THOSE SALES TAXES WITH THUS COME HERE.

FURTHERMORE, ONSITE HEARD THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEIGHBORS AND THE TRAFFIC.

THAT IS, THAT IS WHY THE, UH, PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE DRIVEWAYS IS A LONG LAWRENCE TO TRY TO KEEP.

I MEAN, THESE, THIS IS AN EIGHT TO FIVE BUSINESS, BUT IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO LAWRENCE STREET TO ADDRESS CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC.

AND THEN ALSO YOU'LL HEAR MORE FROM ONSITE.

BUT THEY, THERE ARE OTHER BUSINESSES IN THIS AREA.

THIS IS NOT GONNA BE ONE SINGLE, UH, THE PROVERBIAL BUSINESS IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE ARE BUSINESSES ON DEANDRE.

THERE ARE BUSINESSES UP AND DOWN LAWRENCE STREET, AND THUS WE BELIEVE THAT THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND WE ASK THAT YOU ALL VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE SUP.

THIS, UH, THESE COMPANIES THAT MOVE IN HERE, UH, SHOULD HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE FROM LEAGUE CITY AND THE WATER SEWER, ET CETERA.

UH, THE PLUMS. UH, I'M ROBERT BLUM.

I'M AT 3,600 DEANDRE.

UH, THE SLIDE THAT WAS UP THERE EARLIER THAT SHOWED, UH, THE, YOU COULD SEE RIGHT THERE THAT, UH, THE PROPERTY HAS NO SPACE FOR FIRE TRUCKS TO GET ALL THE WAY AROUND IT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE'S A POOL BLOCKING IT TO GET ALL THE WAY AROUND IT.

I'VE BEEN AT, UH, BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

I'VE WORKED FOR MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, JOHNSON SPACE FLIGHT CENTER.

WE ALL HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO MEET.

UM, WE DON'T TRY TO GET PAST THOSE RULES AND REGULATIONS.

THEY KNOW FULL WELL THIS ONSITE, UH, CONCRETE SOLUTIONS KNOWS FULL WELL THAT THEY CANNOT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, ALL THE VARIANCE REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE SIZE OF THAT CHART RIGHT THERE.

YOU CAN'T GET 18 VEHICLES, UH, PARKING SPACES IN THERE.

AND FROM MY HOUSE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY, UH, NEXT TO THAT, UH, I SEE ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM.

I BOUGHT THAT LARGE PIECE OF PROPERTY SO I WOULDN'T SEE THEM.

UH, SO I WOULD, UH, HOPE THAT YOU DON'T APPROVE THIS.

UH, SUP UM,

[00:45:02]

LEAGUE CITY IS NOT PROVIDING ANY OF THAT.

THEY'RE RELYING ON KEA.

THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT, OR THE ORIGINAL HOUSE WAS BUILT AS A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE.

THERE IS NOT THE PIPING SIZE TO HAVE A 15 OFFICE BUILDING AT THAT POINT.

AND THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM WOULDN'T SUFFICE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE IN PLACE.

UH, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE EXCESSIVE TRUCK PARKING.

IT MAY NOT BE A HUGE CONCRETE TRUCK, BUT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE HUGE TRUCKS PARKED OUT THERE AS THEY DO RIGHT NOW.

UH, I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL OF THEIR TRUCKS.

THEY'VE BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2024.

UM, THEY, AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, POINTED OUT, THEY CAN'T MEET ALL THE VARIANCES.

IF YOU APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, YOU'RE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT AT RISK.

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT AT JOHNSON SPACE FLIGHT CENTER.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT AT, UH, MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT HERE.

PLEASE VOTE NO, I COVERED IT ALL.

AND PLEASE, JUST PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE SETTING PRECEDENTS FOR SO MANY OTHERS.

IT'S, THEY CAN'T MEET THE VARIANCE.

IT WAS SET IN THE LAST MEETING.

THEY CAN'T DO IT.

THEY CAN'T GET IT.

THEY CAN'T FIX THEM.

SO I LIVE AT 3, 3 4, 4 DEANDRE LANE.

UM, THEY ARE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM US.

THEY ARE MY NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET.

THEY'RE, I'VE TALKED TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION.

I THINK THEY'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB AT REDOING THE BUILDING.

UH, I WASN'T TOO MUCH FOR THE RENTAL OF A PARTYING PLACE TO COME UP, BUT THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN CONVERTED.

IT WILL NEVER MAKE A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AGAIN.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

IF YOU'VE EVER WALKED INSIDE OF IT, YOU CAN LOOK AT IT.

IT DOES NOT HAVE A KITCHEN.

IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING.

IT'S BASICALLY A COMMERCIAL BUILDING NOW THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO THAT AT, AT ONE POINT OR WHATEVER.

I KNEW THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE BEFORE THERE.

UH, THE TRAFFIC, I'VE NEVER NOTICED ANYTHING.

I'M RETIRED, SO I COME AND GO ALL DAY LONG AND I'VE TALKED TO THE PEOPLE.

THEY SEEM TO BE VERY NICE.

UH, WE HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS.

IT'S BASICALLY THREE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET, SAY, OR FOUR OF THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET SAY, NO, I DON'T WANT IT.

AND FOUR OF THOSE PEOPLE ON THE STREET SAY, YEAH, IT'S FINE.

IT'S JUST HOW Y'ALL ARE GONNA CHOOSE TO DECIDE IF THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WORKING OR IF THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A JOB TOMORROW IN THAT BUILDING, OR IF THEY'RE NOT, NOW WE GONNA HAVE THE TAX BASE TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVE LEAGUE CITY.

IT'S A HUGE TAX BASE.

ANOTHER THING IS THAT BUILDING IS GONNA BE DEEDED AS COMMERCIAL.

IF IT IS DEEDED AT RESIDENTIAL, I THINK THEY PAY, AND I'M GUESSING LIKE $1.6 MILLION FOR IT.

OUR PROPERTY TAXES WILL SPIKE BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA SELL IT AND THEY'RE GONNA AT LEAST SELL IT FOR WHAT THEY BOUGHT IT FOR OR THEY'RE GONNA FIGURE OUT ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT.

TO ME, I SEE THAT IT WOULD WORK OUT AS A COMMERCIAL BUILDING, AS A LIGHT COMMERCIAL.

THEY DO NOT HAVE HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC.

THEY DO HAVE F TWO 50 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS.

THAT IS NOT HEAVY DUTY.

THEY DID HAVE A BACKHOE THERE, BUT THEY'RE PUTTING BIG, HUGE ROCKS AROUND THEIR PLACE TO DO LANDSCAPING.

THEY'VE GOT IDEAS TO LANDSCAPE THE REST OF THE PROPERTY AS SOON AS Y'ALL VOTE, EITHER TO APPROVE THEM OR NOT TO APPROVE THEM EVERYWHERE ON DANDRE IS COMMERCIAL.

I'VE GOT A NEIGHBOR THAT FIXES TRAILERS.

WE WAIT FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO BACK A TRAILER IN.

WE'RE NEIGHBORS.

THIS IS WHAT NEIGHBORS DO.

I HAVE A GUY RIGHT HERE THAT, THAT'S MY NEIGHBOR AND HE'S GOT TRAILERS OVER THERE.

I DO WHAT I CAN FOR MY NEIGHBORS.

UM, THEY LIVE, UH, COMPLETELY RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ME.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO 'EM MUCH.

I WAVE AT 'EM.

IF I SEE 'EM.

UM,

[00:50:01]

THEIR SON WAVES AT ME ALL THE TIME.

SO, UM, I DON'T SEE THE HARM IN THIS BUILDING, BUT WHAT IT COULD BE, IF YOU DON'T APPROVE IT, IF YOU DON'T APPROVE IT, THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT IT'S GONNA BE.

AND SIR, WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? JUST FOR THE BRIAN HARRIS.

CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SUP DASH 24 DASH 0 0 0 6.

CAN I JUST GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? DOREEN, AND I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER, JUNE TAL, WHICH OWNS PROPERTY ON LAWRENCE ROAD.

ON THE KEA SIDE.

HOWEVER, IT'S A FEW FEET AWAY FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND WE ARE OPPOSED.

UM, SHE HAS OWNED THE PROPERTY, THEREFORE PROBABLY IN 20 PLUS YEARS.

AND IT, IT'S AS WHOOPS AS THE OTHER RESIDENTS SAID.

UM, THE ONLY BUSINESSES ON LAWRENCE ROAD ARE FURTHER UP.

FIVE 18 FROM DALLAS, ANDRE FURTHER UP, EVEN, EVEN ON THE KEA SIDE, OKAY.

OF LAWRENCE ROAD.

NO BUSINESSES GOING HERE TO LEAGUE CITY PARKWAY AND IT'S ALL OF RESIDENTIAL.

THE HOMES THAT ARE GOING UP ON UM, LAWRENCE ROAD ARE A MILLION PLUS DOLLAR HOMES.

SO LEAGUE CITY IS ALREADY BENEFITING FROM PROPERTY VALUES.

UM, THERE'S FIVE ACRE LOTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON LAWRENCE ROAD TOO.

THAT'S SINGLE FAMILY AS WELL.

I KNOW THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SELL IT BECAUSE OF THAT, BUT WE'RE OPPOSED FOR A BUSINESS THERE.

I MEAN, THERE'S ALREADY ENOUGH TRAFFIC AS IT IS.

MY ELDERLY MOTHER CAN BARELY BACK OUT AS IT IS.

UM, THE TRUCKS THAT ARE GOING UP AND DOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, I MEAN, IT'S FULL, IT'S FULL OF TRUCKS THERE.

SO I MEAN IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A LOT.

SO, AND YOU KNOW, LIKE THE LANDSCAPE, AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S NOT BUSINESSES, IT'S RESIDENTIAL, IT'S, IT'S A COMMUNITY.

IT'S, UM, NICE PIECES OF PROPERTY, UM, WITH HOMES, WITH LAND.

AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE PURCHASED OVER THERE IS TO NOT NOT BE NEAR BUSINESSES, JUST TO, YOU KNOW, BE IN A AREA WHERE THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE.

HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, NICE NEIGHBORS AND YOU KNOW, OAK TREES.

THERE'S OAK TREES.

PROBABLY ON MY MOM'S PROPERTY THERE'S A 200 YEAR OLD OLD OAK TREE, UM, THAT LEAGUE CITY LIKES.

IT'S ON THE KEEM SIDE, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

SO, UM, WE WOULD ASK.

AND I'M ALSO A LEAGUE CITY RESIDENT, SO I VOTED FOR MOST OF YOU AS WELL.

AND I WOULD ASK YOU TO PLEASE DENY THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

MY NAME'S JERRY KIKER.

I LIVE AT 34 70 DANDRE LANE, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.

I SEE NO REASON NOT TO REZONE IT.

AND THAT'S ALL I GOT.

THANK YOU, .

ALRIGHT, WE WILL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 53.

UH,

[7B. 25-0114 Consider and take action on an ordinance adopting a Special Use Permit, SUP-24-0006 (Lawrence Road Office Building), for an "Office" use on approximately one acre zoned "RSF-10" (Single-Family Residential 10), generally located at the southwest intersection of Lawrence Road and Delesandri Lane, with the address of 2106 Lawrence Road (Planning Director)]

LAWRENCE ROAD OFFICE BUILDING FOR AN OFFICE USE ON APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE ZONE RSF 10, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 10, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST INTERSECTION OF LAWRENCE ROAD IN DALLAS, ANDRE, WITH THE ADDRESS OF 2106 LAWRENCE ROAD PLANNING AND ZONING.

MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF AT THE P AND C SECOND.

ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MR. CAN, CAN I JUST GET INFORMED OF WHAT THE ADDITIONAL THINGS STAFF RECOMMENDED? SURE.

IT WAS IN THE PACKET ABOUT, IT'S A LENGTHY LIST.

WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU RATHER, UH, HE'S GOT IT.

OH, HE'S GOT IT.

MR. CRUZ.

IT'S UP ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW.

IT'S JUST STANDARD SUP CONDITION, UM, THAT IT'LL EXPIRE AFTER 24 MONTHS.

THE ONLY USE PERMITTED ON SITE WILL BE THIS SPECIFIC OFFICE ON SITE CONCRETE SOLUTIONS.

UM, SITE LAYOUT AND LANDSCAPE PLAN WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT, UM, WAS PRESENTED IN YOUR PACKET AND, UM, THAT YOU GRANT EIGHT VARIANCES, UM, WITH THE REQUEST AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT THE FIRE TRUCKS.

IS THERE ANY, UM, THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT.

YES, SIR.

UH, JUST SINCE THERE'S BEEN, IT SEEMS THAT MOST OF THE CONCERNS, UH, FOR THE CITIZENS ARE THE ABILITY TO GET

[00:55:01]

THE FIRE TRUCKS THERE OR TO JUST HAVE THEIR SAFETY CONCERNS.

SO I JUST WANTED TO HEAR YOUR, YOUR SIDE OF IT.

CERTAINLY.

SO THE CODE ACTUALLY REQUIRES, DOES NOT REQUIRE THE FIRETRUCK TO DO A 360 DEGREES ROUND.

IT REQUIRES US TO GET WITHIN CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE BUILDING TO DO A HOSE LAY 150 FEET FROM EITHER SIDE.

UH, ON THAT SOUTHERN ENTRANCE, YOU CAN DRIVE A FIRETRUCK STRAIGHT IN.

IT'S LESS THAN 150 FEET, SO IT CAN BE A DEAD END.

UH, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE 20 FEET, IT'S 18 FEET, SO IT WOULD BE A TWO FOOT VARIANCE.

SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT? YES.

THANK YOU, MISTRESS.

YEAH, I WANNA ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THE POINTS THAT PEOPLE SPOKE ABOUT.

UM, ONE WAS, UM, ABOUT THE IMPACT TO PROPERTY VALUES.

UM, THAT'S OFTEN AN ARGUMENT THAT PEOPLE MAKE WHEN WE'RE CONSIDERING, UM, ZONING CHANGES OR, OR VARIANCES OR WAIVERS OR ANYTHING OF THAT MATTER.

UM, THE, THE TRUTH IS WHAT CARRIES PROPERTY VALUES AROUND HERE, UM, IS NOT OFTEN DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY WHAT'S NEXT TO YOU.

UM, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING COMPLETELY OUTLANDISH TO REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR PROPERTY VALUES.

UM, I THINK THE TILT WALL WAREHOUSE DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WOULD HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT, UM, JUST BASED ON THE AESTHETICS OF IT COMPARED TO THIS FACILITY.

UM, SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP REALLY ADDRESS FEARS OF WHAT, WHAT WOULD FALL UNDER GENERAL COMMERCIAL, UM, PER OUR ZONING.

UM, HEAVY EQUIPMENT NOISE, UM, HIGH AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC.

UH, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT FROM AN OFFICE HEADQUARTERS.

UM, AND AS FOR THE TRAFFIC, LAWRENCE ROAD AT THIS POINT IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY CUT THROUGHS FOR ALL OF THE FOLKS WHO LIVE SOUTH OF 96 AND EAST OF TWO 70 TO GET TO THE SHOPPING IN, UH, KEA, UM, AND OFF OF FIVE 18 IN MARINA BAY.

UM, I DOUBT THIS OFFICE IS GONNA HAVE AN EVEN MEASURABLE IMPACT ON THAT TRAFFIC SINCE THEY'VE MOVED THE DRIVEWAYS TO TO ONLY BE LAWRENCE ROAD.

UM, IT SHOULDN'T IMPACT ALESSANDRA AT ALL EXCEPT MAYBE THE, THE FEW ERR FOLKS WHO MISS THEIR TURN AND TURN AROUND THERE.

UM, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT, WHAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY AND WHAT FOLKS CONTINUALLY ASK FOR, ONE OF THE THE CONSTANT THINGS IS THAT WE DON'T DO ENOUGH AS A COUNCIL TO ATTRACT BUSINESS.

THAT WE, WE ARE, UM, DIFFICULT TO, TO BUILD IN, DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH.

AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO JOBS HERE.

THAT'S WHY, UM, THE, THE TAX BURDEN IS TOO HEAVY ON THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS.

HERE'S A CHANCE TO GET SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND IT'S WHAT I WOULD CALL QUALITY COMMERCIAL.

THIS ISN'T A STREP MALL WITH A VAPE SHOP AND A NAIL SALON.

UM, WE'VE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE FIRE TRUCK THING NOT BEING AN ISSUE.

AS FOR WHETHER OR NOT WE PROVIDE WATER TO THE ADDRESS THAT'S IMMATERIAL TO THIS DISCUSSION.

UM, THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES IN THIS CITY WHERE WE DON'T PROVIDE WATER JUST BECAUSE OF HISTORICALLY WHERE THE WATER LINES ARE RUN.

UM, THAT IS WHAT IT IS AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER THIS IS IN OFFICE OR WHAT AT THIS POINT WOULD BE POORLY FITTED RESIDENTIAL.

UM, AS FOR THE ARGUMENT THAT THERE'S NO BUSINESSES BETWEEN THERE AND 96 ON LAWRENCE, THAT'S ALSO NOT THE CASE.

THERE'S A, UH, OFFSHORE RIG MOVERS, THERE'S A WINDSHIELD REPAIR PLACE AND AS FOR A TRAFFIC IMPACT AND COMMERCIAL BETWEEN THERE AND 96, THE DRIVEWAY FOR THE CLEAR CREE COMMUNITY CHURCH EAST 96 CAMPUS, IT'S GONNA COME OUT BY THERE.

UM, THAT'S GONNA BE WAY MORE TRAFFIC THAN THIS OFFICE IS.

UM, SO GIVEN ALL THAT, I, I SEE NO REASON TO, TO SAY NO TONIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

PLEASE VOTE.

I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE.

ALRIGHT, MR. CHADWELL.

YEAH, SO JUST THE NEXT QUESTION I WANT WITNESS IS, UM, EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW IT'S A VOLUNTEER, YOU KNOW, UH, POSITION, UM, IN YOUR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER STATE, TEXAS, YOU CAN STILL RECEIVE CERTAIN LEVEL COMPENSATION, UH, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR THROUGH SOME CALCULATIONS THAT ESTABLISHED FEDERAL LIMITS BETWEEN 2,800 ROUGHLY.

UM, THERE'S SOME DISCREPANCY BETWEEN WHAT THE STATE GOVERNMENT CODE HAS.

UH, SO IF THAT LIMIT FOR THE STATE IS ROUGHLY 15,000, THAT $7,000 DELTA, IF WE CAN GET IT IN LINE WITH WHAT THE, UH, FEDERAL STANDARDS ARE, THAT'LL ALLOW OUR FIREFIGHTERS TO WORK EACH ONE OF THEM TO WORK ANOTHER 40 STIPEND SHIFTS TO START AT THE TOP.

CAN WE START OVER? .

ALL RIGHT.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

ANYWAY, SO, UH, YEAH, WE HOPE TO GET THIS THING DONE.

THANKS, .

GOOD.

THAT WAS GOODS.

MY, MY ONLY CONCERN IS AGAIN, I'M, I'M GONNA VOTE FOR IT AND I THINK IT'S A, A WISE THING TO DO TO, UH, SUPPORT THE, UH, RESOLUTION.

BUT, UM, I DID INQUIRE IN TRYING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT WE HAD CLOSE TO THE 15,000.

I THINK WE ONLY HAD TWO THAT WENT OVER IN ONE CLOSE.

SO JUST TO ENCOURAGE 'EM THAT IF WE RAISE IT, THEN MAYBE WE COULD WORK, WORK A LITTLE BIT MORE.

DO YOU WANNA GIVE US A LITTLE BIT? ABSOLUTELY.

[01:05:03]

THIS IS THE FIRST QUARTER BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FY 2025.

IT INCLUDES MERIT INCREASES WHERE WE MOVE THE FUNDS FROM NON-DEPARTMENTAL TO THE DEPARTMENTS AS NEEDED BASED ON OUR JANUARY MERIT.

IT'S NOT AN INCREASE TO THE APPROPRIATION OR TO THE BUDGET FOR THE FUND.

IT'S JUST SIMPLY MOVING IT FROM NON-DEPARTMENTAL TO THE DEPARTMENTS, UM, BASED ON HOW THE MERIT ACTUALLY WAS IMPLEMENTED.

UM, IT ALSO INCREASES EXPENSES THAT ARE OFFSET BY REVENUE, INCLUDING ITEMS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

AND IT INCLUDES, UM, THE 2024 ROLLOVERS.

THIS IS ALSO PART OF OUR 25 BUDGET, UM, ORDINANCE.

SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

IT'S JUST REFLECTED.

THIS IS FOR ITEMS THAT WERE PURCHASED IN 2024 BUT DID NOT ARRIVE BY NINE 30.

UH, YOU HAVE MY TIME REPORTS FROM

[13. COUNCIL MEMBERS COMMENTS/REPORTS ]

YEAH, I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE UP HERE.

COLLEAGUES, UH, VOTING FOR PAT'S, UH, PARK I THINK IS WELL DESERVED.

UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT THAT WE CAN DO THIS.

UH, I LOOK FORWARD TO TRYING TO HELP COURTNEY WITH, UH, TIM'S MEMORIAL OR WHATEVER HE THINKS THAT, UH, UM, IS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S VOTE.

JUDGE RESLER, I APOLOGIZE.

I'M GONNA BE LONG-WINDED TONIGHT.

SORRY.

SO, UM, I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT POLITICIANS TONIGHT.

DOING POLITICIAN THINGS.

START WITH, I CALLED IT OUT EARLIER.

UM, I SAID A BAD PROCESS WAS FOLLOWED REGARDING THE NAMING OF THE PARK.

SPONSORS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN, DEVISE A NAME TO HONOR A FRIEND.

THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU EXCLUDE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE REST OF THIS BODY TO POSSIBLY COME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION.

WHERE EVERYONE WINS THE RIGHT THING TO DO WOULD'VE BEEN TO SUGGEST.

I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO HONOR WHOEVER YOU WANNA HONOR OR HAVE SAY A STATEMENT LIKE, I'D LIKE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE NAME CITY PLACES.

COULD HAVE HAD A WORKSHOP, COULD HAVE FLESHED OUT SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD'VE LED TO A COMPLETE CONSENSUS DECISION.

BUT SOME MEMBERS OF THIS BODY PREFER TO MAKE POLITICAL GAMES OUT OF EVERYTHING THEY DO.

SOMETIMES THE MOTIVATIONS TO ENSURE THAT THEY GET THE CREDIT FOR WHAT HAPPENS.

OTHER TIMES IT'S SO THEY CAN ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL VOTE FOR THEIR PLAN, OFTEN WITH PRE-DISCUSSION, AND CERTAINLY HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF VIOLATING THE TEXAS OPEN MEETING ACT BY A ROLLING QUORUM OR SOME OTHER METHOD.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAPPENED HERE, BUT I DO KNOW WE DID NOT FOLLOW A GOOD PROCESS SINCE WE HAVEN'T FOLLOWED A BETTER PROCESS.

WE HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO DISCUSS HOW WE GO ABOUT NAMING THINGS AND SELECTING WHICH FOLKS HONOR IN THIS WAY.

PERSONALLY, I'D LIKE TO SEE A BETTER PROCESS DEVELOP, OR WE ESTABLISH MORE THOROUGH CRITERIA FOR MEASURING THE IMPACT OF THE FOLKS TO BE HONORED.

COMING UP WITH A LIST OF CANDIDATES AND THEN COMING UP WITH A LIST OF CANDIDATE PROJECTS THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR EACH OF THOSE FOLKS.

[01:10:02]

I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE COMMUNITY INPUT ON THESE TOPICS.

AS MY COLLEAGUE POINTED OUT, IT'S COUNCIL PREROGATIVE TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO NAME AND NOT FOLLOW THE PROCESS THAT'S TOTALLY VALID.

DOESN'T MAKE IT A GOOD THING TO DO OR THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE SEEING IS A BODY OF EIGHT FOLKS REWARDING THEIR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS.

IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THEY'RE SETTING UP TO HAVE THINGS NAMED AFTER THEMSELVES LATER.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS ALL DEPOLITICIZED, BUT AS I SAID, PERHAPS THAT POLITICA POLITICIZATION IS WHAT SOME SEE.

AND SINCE IT WAS PUSHED THAT WAY TONIGHT AND SINCE THEY CHOSE TO ARGUE AGAINST THE CONSIDERATION, A MORE MEANINGFUL NAMES FOR THIS PART AND A MORE MEANINGFUL LOCATION TO HONOR MAYOR HALLEY, THEY'VE DECIDED TO MAKE THIS A REFERENDUM ON THEIR FRIEND, THE FORMER MAYOR.

SO WHILE I WOULD PREFER TO NOT SPEAK NEGATIVELY ABOUT HIM, IT BEARS TALKING ABOUT WHO HE REALLY WAS AND WHAT HIS LEGACY TRULY IS.

SINCE WE MADE A REFERENDUM, MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE FORMER MAYOR AND THAT WHO OF MANY FOLKS WHO'VE REACHED OUT TO ME SINCE THIS AGENDA WAS PUBLISHED IS NOT THE SAME AS THOSE WHO VOTED TO NAME THE PARK AFTER HIM TONIGHT.

THIS IS A MAN WHO CURSED WITH AN OPEN MIC THE ENTIRE REST OF THE CITY COUNCIL AS THE RUDEST BUNCH OF EXPLETIVE PEOPLE SIMPLY BECAUSE WE A VOTE DIDN'T GO HIS WAY.

THIS IS A MAN WHO IMPLIED RACISM ON BEHALF OF THE REST OF THE COUNCIL AS TO THE REASON WHY THE COUNCIL CHOSE TO NAME ONE ROAD AFTER A FAMILY INSTEAD OF A PORTION OF ANOTHER ROAD.

THIS IS A MAN WHO THREATENED TO COME AFTER FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBER WITH BOTH BARRELS BECAUSE HE FELT LIGHTED ON A DIFFERENT BOAT.

THIS IS A MAN WHO TRIED TO INITIATE NEEDLESS BATTLES BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY TO FURTHER A PERSONAL GRUDGE WITH COUNTY ELECTED OFFICIALS.

THIS IS A MAN WHO ACCUSED ME OF A COUP WHEN WHAT I WAS DOING WAS THE OPPOSITE, AND I ASKED STAFF TO SCHEDULE AND ANNOUNCE A SPECIAL MEETING TO FORGIVE HIS ABSENCES SO HE WOULDN'T BE DECLARED AS HAVING VACATED THE POSITION.

THIS IS A MAN THAT AN ATTORNEY HIRED BY OUR ETHICS COMMITTEE FOUND USED, FOUND TO MEAN LANGUAGE TO REFER TO FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS AND HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING HIS TEMPER.

FINALLY, THIS IS A MAN THAT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DEGRADED AND INSULTED OUR HOMETOWN HEROES IN THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WHILE IN GENERAL, I DON'T BELIEVE IN NAMING THINGS AFTER LIVING FOLKS, AS THEY MAY YET DISAPPOINT US WITH THE REST OF THEIR LIFE AND THEIR REMAIN ACTIONS.

I REALIZE NOT I'LL SHARE THAT POSITION, BUT I WOULD HOPE ONE CRITERIA WE COULD USE WHEN TO SIGN TO NAME SOMETHING AFTER FOLKS IS IF THIS IS SOMEONE WE WOULD WANT OUR KIDS TO MODEL THEIR BEHAVIOR AFTER.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO FORMER MAYOR HALLEY, I CAN'T SAY THAT I WOULD'VE PREFERRED TO NOT SPEAK NEGATIVELY ABOUT HIM AS HE'S NO LONGER IN OFFICE AND NOT OF CONSEQUENCE, BUT SINCE WE MADE IT A REFERENDUM ON THE MAN, THIS NEEDED TO BE SET.

I ALSO FIND IT SHAMEFUL THAT WE HAD TO DO THIS WITH AN ITEM SPONSORED BY A COUNCIL MEMBER WHO COWARDLY CHOSE TO PUNCH OUT FROM THIS MEETING AND NOT STAYED TIED IN FOR THE REST OF THE MEETING AFTER HE GOT THAT VOTE THROUGH.

THIS IS A COUNCIL MEMBER WHO DID SOMETHING SO EGREGIOUS OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS THAT OUR POLICE CHIEF HAD TO IDENTIFY THIS ABUSE OF HIS POSITION.

AND I'M GOING TO READ AND EMAIL SUMMARIZING THAT ACTION FROM OUR POLICE CHIEF TO OUR CITY MANAGER, SIR, ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH, 2025.

AT APPROXIMATELY 9:41 AM I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM COUNCILMAN JUSTIN HICKS.

HE REQUESTED ACCESS TO ALL CALL NOTES OR DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO RELATED TO SERVICE CALLS AT HIS RESIDENCE DURING THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND.

I'M AWARE THAT MRS. HICKS CONTACTED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DURING THAT TIME AND FILED TWO REPORTS IN WHICH COUNCILMAN HICKS WAS IDENTIFIED AS A SUSPECT.

ADDITIONALLY, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT COUNCILMAN HICKS IS NOT CURRENTLY RESIDING AT THAT ADDRESS.

I INFORMED COUNCILMAN HICKS THAT HE WOULD NEED TO SUBMIT A PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST AND ASSURED HIM THAT ANY PERMISSIBLE INFORMATION WOULD BE PROVIDED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.

HE EXPRESSED A PREFERENCE NOT TO PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING, BUT REQUESTED TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENTATION.

[01:15:01]

I REITERATED THAT PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST WAS NECESSARY.

HE THEN ASKED WHETHER I WAS IN MY OFFICE AND IF HE COULD MEET WITH ME IN PERSON.

UPON HIS ARRIVAL IN MY OFFICE, COUNCILMAN HICKS AGAIN REQUESTED ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION AT WHICH POINT I REITERATED THAT PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST WAS REQUIRED.

HE SHIFTED HIS APPROACH INDICATING THAT HE WOULD PREFER TO VIEW THE DOCUMENTS RATHER THAN RECEIVE PHYSICAL COPIES, AND HE ALSO INQUIRED ABOUT BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE ASSERTING THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN GRANTED ACCESS.

I CLARIFIED THAT AS AN INVOLVED PARTY TO A POLICE CALL, A PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST WOULD STILL BE NECESSARY AT THIS JUNCTURE.

COUNCILMAN HICKS APPEARED VISIBLY UPSET BUT REMAINED RESPECTFUL.

I ADVISED HIM TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND CONCLUDED OUR DISCUSSION.

FOLLOWING OUR MEETING, I LEARNED FROM OUR RECORDS MANAGER THAT COUNCILMAN HICKS HAD CONTACTED THE RECORDS DEPARTMENT SHORTLY BEFORE OUR PHONE CONVERSATION.

WHEN ASKED TO SUBMIT A PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST, HE INDICATED THAT HE WAS A COUNCILMAN AND DID NOT WISH TO PROVIDE ANYTHING IN WRITING.

THE STAFF MEMBER INFORMED HIM THAT A WRITTEN REQUEST WAS MANDATORY FOR PROCESSING.

HE RESPONDED BY STATING HE WOULD CONTACT THE CHIEF TO RESOLVE THE MATTER.

WHILE I WOULD LIKE TO ATTRIBUTE COUNCILMAN HICKS BEHAVIOR AND REQUEST TO A MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS, I BELIEVE HE WAS FULLY AWARE OF WHAT HE WAS SEEKING.

ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22ND, 2025 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:54 PM COUNCILMAN HICKS REACHED OUT TO INFORM ME THAT HE AND HIS WIFE WERE CURRENTLY SEPARATED AND THAT HE ANTICIPATED SHE WOULD REACH OUT TO ME WITH FALSE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM.

HE REQUESTED THAT IN MY CAPACITY AS CHIEF OF POLICE, I DISREGARD HER INQUIRIES AND REMAIN UNINVOLVED IN THEIR PERSONAL MATTERS.

I CLARIFIED THAT NEITHER I NOR THE AGENCY HAD AN INTEREST IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE OR CIVIL MATTERS.

HOWEVER, I EMPHASIZED THAT IF HIS WIFE CONTACTED ME WITH ANY CREDIBLE ALLEGATIONS OF A CRIMINAL NATURE, IT WOULD BE MY DUTY TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION TREATING HER AS ANY OTHER CITIZEN IN NEED OF POLICE SERVICES.

HE SEEMED FRUSTRATED WITH MY RESPONSE IN LAY OF THESE EVENTS IS MY BELIEF THAT COUNCILMAN HICKS ASSUMED HIS STATUS AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL AND ENTITLED HIM TO MAKE DEMANDS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT COULD COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC TRUST IN THE ORGANIZATION.

I FIND IT DEEPLY TROUBLING THAT A COUNCILMAN WOULD BELIEVE HIS POSITION GRANTS HIM THE AUTHORITY TO DEMAND ACTIONS THAT VIOLATE THE LAW.

FURTHERMORE, HIS SUGGESTION MADE IN THE PRESENCE OF A MEMBER OF MY TEAM THAT HE WOULD CALL TO ENLIST MY ASSISTANCE IN CONTRAVE LEGAL PROTOCOLS IS CONCERNING.

COUNCILMAN HICKS CONDUCT TODAY WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND RAISED SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT HIS SELF-AWARENESS AND JUDGMENT.

HIS APPARENT DISREGARD FOR HOW HIS ACTIONS COULD IMPACT THE REPUTATION OF THE CITY AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ALARMING.

I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN UNETHICAL OR ILLEGAL BEHAVIORS AT THE REQUEST OF COUNCILMAN HICKS, PEOPLE LEAGUE CITY FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

I WANT TO THANK OUR CHIEF FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND THE CONVICTION TO ALWAYS DO THAT EVEN IN THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS SHOWN THAT HE TAKES OUT PETTY REVENGE ON MEMBERS OF OUR STAFF.

I APPLAUD YOUR INTEGRITY AND I CALL ON THE REST OF THIS COUNCIL TO HAVE THAT SAME LEVEL INTEGRITY AND JOIN ME IN CALLING FOR COUNCILMAN HICKS RESIGNATION.

ALL RIGHT, UH, MR. SAUNDERS, I YIELD MY TIME, MR. MAYOR, MR. MAN, YIELD MY TIME, TOM MY TIME.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

I, I JUST WANNA SAY I HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON.

SEAN, YOU'RE LOOKING GREAT, MAN.

APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT.

THANK YOU COUNCILMAN CHAPO.

ABSOLUTELY.

I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY THE LAST THING YOU WANNA DO RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE EFFORT IN.

UH, GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, CITY COUNCIL HAS COMPLETED EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THIS 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2025.

I'M IN NO WAY EXCUSING WHAT, WHAT JUSTIN DID, AND THAT WAS PUBLIC RECORD AND IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH, OR IT'S GOING TO BE PUBLIC RECORD AND IT WAS CERTAINLY, UH, GONNA BE OUT THERE, UH, PROBABLY A LITTLE LONG TO READ AND PROBABLY BE BETTER IF YOU READ IT YOURSELF.

UH, BUT I DO, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING OUT THERE.

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, LIKE MOST OF THIS IS, IS JUST PETTY POLITICAL ONE UPSMANSHIP THE SAME GRAND STANDING YOU JUST ACCUSED US OF MAKING TO TO NAME THE PAT THE PARK AFTER PAT.

THIS IS REALLY ABOUT TAKING A POUND OF FLESH OUT OF PAT.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, AND THAT'S WHY YOU JUST WENT

[01:20:01]

AFTER, UH, MAYOR HALLEY.

PAT AND I WERE CERTAINLY NOT BEST FRIENDS AND CERTAINLY HAD NUMEROUS DISAGREEMENTS OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, BUT THE TRUTH IS HE HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE PARK SYSTEM IN LEAGUE CITY.

HE SPENT 50 YEARS DOING A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND I THINK IT WAS PRETTY DISGUSTING TO AT THE LAST MINUTE JOIN WITH, YOU KNOW, GET TIM MILLER INVOLVED IN THIS.

AND YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE.

BE JUST TO EMBARRASS PAT.

I HAD BEEN MENTIONING FOR SEVEN YEARS TO NAME THIS PARK THAT VERY SAME THING.

NOBODY MOVED ON IT, NOBODY CARED TO MOVE ON IT, BUT WHEN YOU KNEW YOU COULD GIVE PAT A BLACK EYE AND KIND OF JUST MESS WITH HIM A LITTLE BIT, THAT'S WHEN IT CAME OUT.

AND I DON'T LIKE, I DON'T APPRECIATE ESPECIALLY LIKE INSINUATING THAT IT'S SOME KIND OF POLITICAL FAVOR FOR ME FOR PAT .

WE, WE RARELY EVER AGREED ON ANYTHING.

AND IT WAS NOT A POLITICAL FAVOR AT ALL.

IT WAS RAISED AGAINST ME.

YEAH, YEAH, HE RAN, HE LITERALLY RAN A PERSON AGAINST ME NUMEROUS TIMES.

SO IT, IT WAS, IT WAS BECAUSE I FELT HE DESERVED IT.

AND I DO THINK IT WAS TERRIBLE TO TRY TO PIT THE TWO PIECES AGAINST EACH OTHER.

I HOPE WE CAN COME BACK NEXT WEEK, FIND A GREAT WAY TO DO A, A MEMORIAL GARDEN, FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A GARDEN.

IT CAN BE WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO DO, BUT IT DOES DESERVE TO BE REMEMBERED.

DOES DESERVE TO NOT BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN COME BACK AND CREATE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WELL.

ALRIGHT, AND NOW,

[14. EXECUTIVE(CLOSED) SESSION(S)]

UH, WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED.

CITY COUNCIL WILL NOW GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO SUB CHAPTER D, THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT, SECTION 5 5 1 AT ALL OF TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
