You may know us as the organization that runs the Connect Florida route through the city. We're really excited.

In business, in B, consideration, discussion, and possible action to adopt Resolution 2026-016, authorizing the submission of a Texas part and wildlife local park grant program application and mayor to execute related uh certifications and assurance certifications and insurance do i have any uh that's is dr gonzalez
Hello, once again, this is for a resolution for the authorization of the application for TPWD. As I stated earlier, this is for the renovation of the city pool. We currently have $750,000 ready to be leveraged for this grant. And the goal would be to create a more inclusive and adaptable AD accessible pool for our community. So the goal would be to put that 750 in for a one-to-one match with the Fingers crossed, 1.5 million for renovation to the wall.
That's exciting. Do I have any questions from council or from our citizens?
I do have a question. On the memorandum that's attached, just so that we're clear, so is 500,000 coming from FEDC and the rest is coming from us or?
So currently, we have $350,000 that was provided to us from FEDC. We're going back in about five months for an additional amount. So when we first went, they accepted it for $350,000 with the understanding that there was an additional cost that we would be going forward for. Aside from that, the Parks and Recreation Department and Ms. Cindy can also speak to the remaining balance. Part of our original plan...
part of the original bonds we do have the 500 000 for the filtration which will be included it should also be noted that the request was prior to the end of the grant submission and so they didn't give us partial funding of our five-year cip that we presented that's what they wanted us to go back but we also have a joint workshop for budget This Saturday, so this will be one of the topics that we discuss with the BBC. So hopefully we can make that five month request a little bit shorter for this particular project for additional funding.
Okay, got it. Thank you.
With that said, do I have a motion to approve?
Mayor, I'll make a motion to approve. ADOPT THE RESOLUTION 2026-016, AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE LOCAL PARK GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION, AND FOR THE MAYOR, YOURSELF, TO EXECUTE RELATED SUBJECTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS.
THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. MOTION MADE BY MS. FLORES, SECOND BY MS. PARRERA-CANTE. ALL IN FAVOR? Motion passes five, four, zero, against. Thank you all. Item C, consideration, discussion, and possible action to approve the Children's Alliance Fund's request of $8,000.
Good evening, City and Council. My name is Christina Martinez. I am the Director of Children's Alliance in Texas. This is not my first time that I have presented to you guys. And every time I do present, I try to think, what haven't they heard? How can I speak to you guys? I am on the agenda today asking for $8,000. So it's heavy. As a citizen of Florida myself, I live on First Street. I know that our taxpayers' money needs to be safeguarded. And I believe... in council government and I believe in business and I believe in the nonprofit sector and we need to work together. And so I thought about it and I thought, okay, you all need to hear from me. I think you all need to hear that there are 72 child advocacy centers in Texas, but there are way more than 72 counties in Texas. Floresville is a city that has a child advocacy center. Before, if you do not have a child advocacy center, that means Anytime there's an allegation of abuse or neglect, the citizens of Floresville have no services. They do not have parental interviews. They do not have medical exams. They do not have trauma-based therapy. They do not have advocacy. The Floresville is leading in other cities, such as Corpus. Big city does not have a child advocacy center. Our child advocacy center, just in 10 months, I pulled the 10 months data, has done specifically 60% of its cases in Wilson County. That totals to about 90 cases just in 10 months. Shaking. I'm shaking because I'm passionate. It makes me angry that my daughter goes to school with lots of children being traumatized by sexual abuse and physical abuse. I'm angry that we don't have services that are the only one and that I'm asking for it. But I'm happy because y'all have always chosen to listen to me and to give, but y'all can't. Last year, y'all generously donated 8,000. In the previous year, y'all donated 5,000. In 10 months, we provided $9,000 worth of trauma-based therapy services for citizens in Floresville. That's just Floresville. We've got a much bigger number of people and children in the county. I'm saying that we had 13 children in 10 months from Floresville ISD in the city limits receiving trauma-based therapy because they have the worst of the worst happen to them. That's just one of my programs. I'm not telling you about all the medical exams that we provided for the citizens of New York as well. I'm not telling you about the forensic interview exams. I'm trying to give you a painted picture of what we do with the donations that we receive everywhere. Cities, businesses, non-profit. It takes all three to make a thriving community for me to send my daughters to. This is her living for us to build a park city. And I'm going to use the last part of my citizen comment, speaking as Christina Martinez. She loves the peanut bus. She loves the city pool. Please keep making me a city I'm so proud to live in, grow in. Go to college in San Antonio and return back to provide services for it right here. And I'll answer any questions you'll have.
First of all, I want to say thank you for doing what you do. I know it takes a lot to do the work that you do. So I really appreciate it.
I'm sure a lot of people do as well.
Do I have any comments or questions from you? Or questions, actually. Thank you. And again, just to reiterate what the mayor has already said, thank you for what you do. I know it's not for the faint heart. Um, thank you. I know it's tough to see it here, especially as a, as mom, you know, so, but I do want to just kind of reiterate what you use the funds for so that our citizens can kind of hear. So basically I gathered it was trauma based therapy. Some of the funds go to that. Some of the funds also go towards medical exams, just plain regular medical exams as well.
Great kids.
Thank you. And then last but not least, is forensic exams, are those different than rape kits?
Forensic interviewing is very interesting. So, yes, we are a nonprofit, but in 2020, Governor Abbott said, no child advocacy centers, you are first responders. So what people don't know about child advocacy centers is that it's built into Texas Family Code, which is CPS law. And it's also written into Texas criminal code. So when you go to the police academy, you learn criminal code. At any time in the United States that there is an allegation of abuse or neglect, you must seek a third party, forensically trained individual to speak with these children. It's a whole separate degree field. I can guarantee you these great officers and law enforcement in general do not join the police force to study child sexual abuse. So my crew comes in with criminal justice degrees and a whole extended year of training in forensic sciences, and it's exactly what it sounds like, the scientific method way of questioning children and asking very non-leading questions about sexual abuse and physical abuse and neglect in the household. It's a very niche field. And that's what I'm saying, is I have to bring in a lot of expensive professionals right here in Floresville to provide these services. You should be kind of happy to know if you ever see us on Trail Street, my team of fantastic women, they live right here in Floresville too, so they are probably all watching me live now and cheering me on, but very niche field. So forensic interviewing services, medical services, which is forensic nurse exams, and in layman's terms, yes, rape kids, trauma-based therapy, and then what I call multidisciplinary team coordination, basically case review, leading law enforcement, prosecutors, CPS in how to address these cases as a team instead of like through one individual lens. My team is also, you'll see us in court lots. We sit next to the victims and we do have to testify in court as well.
Thank you for that. And one last question. I think you might have already mentioned it. The number of, I guess, victims that you've helped in the city of Florida.
Yeah, I pulled the 10-month data for you. So we're not in the school year like you guys. And so in 10 months, so September 1 to June 30th, it's exactly 13 new cases of child sexual abuse and physical abuse within the city limits. So 13 criminal cases. 13 cases in what we've done in 10 months. The therapy that's taken us up on has been made for those cases.
Thank you. That's all for me.
Do I have any more questions or comments from anyone? If that's so, do I have a motion? I do.
Go ahead. Great work. Thank you. So in regards to that, I would like to discuss what y'all do with your taxpaying dollars. And with the work that the Children's Alliance Center seems to be doing, I think that would have been great to give them that $10,000 instead of to the officer who was reported for having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl. Well, that's not on the agenda. But this is in regards to the Alliance.
That's, no. Yes. Okay. Moving on, this is, She's asking for that. Okay, you're not on the agenda.
And I am referring to... I said no.
Moving on.
Mayor, I'll make a motion to approve the Children's Alliance funds requested $8,000.
Do I have a second?
I'll second, Mayor.
Motion made by Ms. Torres, second by Mr. Cantu. All in favor? motion passes five four zero against thank you moving on item d consideration discussion and possible action to approve ordinance 2026-022 manufacturer home ordinance
For approval, as I mentioned earlier, we have some of the home placements in the city limits. We're going through special permits now with this ordinance that will allow us to designate different areas for manufactured homes, placement only, and that throughout the entire city. This was brought into our Paying zoning for December 3rd was approved anonymously and then it was brought to you December 11th. It was based on a post bump. We're bringing it to you again so that we can get an approval for the ordinance for the placement of a .
IN ADDITION TO THIS, AT THE NEXT AGENDA, WE'LL BRING AN ITEM TO ACCEPT A GRANT FROM THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE FOR REVISIONS TO OUR LAND USE MAP. THE STAFF WAS SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING THAT GRANT. THIS WILL BE PART OF THAT LAND USE MAP DEVELOPMENT. SO THEY'LL WORK TO IT.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYONE?
Question. So just just to be clear, was brought today on our agenda is just to update the ordinance, right? And this is the ordinance. It's being updated in state home.
OK, thank you.
Hey, do I have any questions or comments from anyone? Do I have a motion?
Yes, Mary, I'd like a motion for consideration, discussion, and possible action to approve Ordinance 2026-022 from the Factory Home Ordinance.
I'll second. Motion made by Mr. Cantu, second by Ms. Flores. All in favor? Motion passes 5-4, 0 against. Moving on to item E. Do you want us to read that ordinance? No? No? Item E, consideration, discussion, and possible action to approve by board, quote number B585900 from Ferguson Water Works for the purchase of fire hydrants in an amount not to exceed $96,000.
this is actually for 30 fire hydrants for our hydrant replacement program we will be replacing throughout the city there's 30 identified fire hydrants that are 1975 or before and the parts for replacement on these is they're obviously we're not able to get parts anymore so that's the reason
It's 1975 and before.
The list I have, 1951, 1946, 1955, so they're very old. Okay, thank you. Do I have any citizens comments or questions?
Do I have a motion? Mayor, I actually have a comment. I just want to ensure that our public is aware. So I know that the total cost is not to exceed $96,000, but I do want to just give the estimated average cost per hydrant. So that's 30 hydrants. And what we have here is $31.97.42, correct? Correct. Just, I mean, I want everyone to know how expensive. So $3,197. Yes, how expensive one fire hydrant is. And again, it's for the safety of our community. So I just want to make that clear.
Do I have any more questions? I have a public comment. I'm going to first get a note.
This is related to finances and I'm having to do this because I have basically cried out to city hall, the police department, the city council. So this is in regards to finances, correct? In taxpayer dollars? No ma'am, this is about the hydrant, water hydrant. And this is what you do with those funds? That you probably should put towards hydrating, you know, like the Children Alliance Center.
Ma'am, if you have anything to say about the water hydrants, please do so.
About the funds for the water hydrants.
I'm sorry.
We can issue a warning that the topic has to be specifically for the expense of fire hydrants and that's it only. So this is the warning that we're issuing is this is coming out of, I'm sorry, the mayor has to issue that warning, I'm sorry. Thank you for the correction. It has to be directly for the purchase and the procurement of these fire hydrants. Use of funds and other funds is not a part of this agenda.
Only for fire hydrants.
So when should we talk about taxpayer funds and what y'all do with them? We're going to have a, go ahead.
I'll let you answer that. Now, ma'am, as the presiding officer, you can go ahead and provide a warning. And after that, you can have the person we need.
Well, I want, we will have a budget meeting and our funds are going to be out there during that budget meetings. So you're good.
All the funding that we're doing is going to be posted on our city website. I have two workshops.
i don't know if that's accurate because ma'am we already gave you a warning please i mean uh we already told you put it on the agenda for next time they already told you that they're gonna do it please you know thank you guys moving on do i have a motion for this um Consideration and discussion to approve by-board quotes.
I move to motion to approve by-board quote number B, 505-900 from Ferguson Water Works for the purchase of fire hydrants in an amount not to exceed 96 cents.
Okay, motion made by Ms. Barrera-Canto. Do I have a second? I'll second. SECOND BY MS. THORES. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES 5-4-0 AGAINST. THANK YOU. ITEM F, CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RECONSIDERATION OF AGENDA ITEM 7N FROM JUNE 25, 2026 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPOINT ONE NEW MEMBER to the Fresno Economic Development Board to include any reappointment of current members, appointments to fill vacancies or replace existing members.
Mayor Pro Tem Flores. Mayor, before I proceed, I'd like to just make a brief statement. The vote that I casted on this item did not reflect my intended position. So for accuracy of the record and proper council action, I requested reconsideration. So with that, I move to reconsider the vote on this item. Do you have a motion? That was my motion to reconsider the vote on the item.
Do I have a second?
I'll second, ma'am.
Motion made by Ms. Flores, second by Ms. Cantu Flores, I mean, Barrera Cantu. All in favor? I have a question. Go ahead.
What are we doing here?
She's re, she's re-appointing, whatever, I'm not re-appointing, I'm reconsidering, yes.
Are you taking someone out, or who are you taking out, or what?
and that was item seven from last.
What do we want? Because I'm a little confused now because we had these appointments out of courtesy or we had a policy. I couldn't understand if we did policy or courtesy or what it was, but everyone had a pick and Mr. Lambert picked Mr. Tejada And it should have been a courtesy, but I think we voted 3-2 on that. Which, I'm speaking, ma'am. Okay. And my thing is, if she's taking out Lambert's appointment, is that what you're doing?
The lawyer will answer that question. Mayor, I have a question.
You and I get a chance. Okay. Go ahead.
want me to answer that question with regard to um is it a courtesy sir well my understanding was when we were picking we had like i thought it was a policy we had even i think with florence had prior meetings to that had okay for us to to go by that way i'm not for sure i'm asking so it got kind of confusing it's just like myself with my appointment miss bernadette herrera resigned so as courtesy do i get that courtesy too i'm asking a few of uh persons that I know that want to be on the FADC and want to bring it back. I could appoint them now, but I'm still interviewing them, saying, okay, what do you think, or whatever. They still haven't gave me on my appointment because my appointment resigned. Now, I'm just asking, are we under the policy that we had that courtesy vote or no?
Okay. There is no courtesy vote. for edc members because the edc is set up by state statute and it's the governing board that appoints the board members of the edc so each person each council member selects someone that they would like to appoint but the council still needs to vote as a government body because of state statute i understand that but if one of the meetings got to go back from the meetings
uh and that and that we knew that the city uh uh manager had kind of stepped the boundaries of saying that these uh i'm talking right and that is it i'm talking here for the people my understanding i'm still not finished answering i'm still asking a question So my thing was it got confusing because in one of the meetings we said that we were going to pick members from the city of Fortville and we had no right to say that because of the statute of the FEDC saying that we can go actually 10 miles out of Wilson County to still put on these board members but we had come up with something a while back prior to you being here that we could, so we're making rules as we go and then we go back to the rule. So which one is it?
So sir, unless it was a policy in writing, it's again for the adc it cannot be a courtesy vote it is a vote that the body as a whole needs to agree to for the recommendation that's been made for the appointment from each council member so do we go back also and say okay uh we're taking the ones whoever they appointed i want to go back
and put it on the agenda next week and say okay we don't want to because it is not fair now is it fair to me that i put bernadette i read different the vote has not been rescinded all the item was was to reconsider um so now we know exactly what the mayor is doing so that makes sense uh right i thought since she she rescinded it said it was automatically out
You reconsidered it. No, it's the first agenda item was to reconsider the vote that was taking place at the last meeting. And my vote on that item is no. So then someone needs to vote on that. So you need to make a new motion under. We're going to make a motion for you.
Isn't the item already passed? We already made a motion on it?
YEAH, BUT IT'S BEING RECONSIDERED NOW UNDER FG, I MEAN, 10G. OKAY. 10F.
SO JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR, LET ME JUST MAKE SURE.
SO ITEM F WAS RECONSIDERATION
for the item seven in from the June 25th regular council meeting. There was a vote to appoint a member. I am reconsidering because my vote was originally yes, I want it to be no. So I made a motion. So you need to make the motion now under? Under F as well or under G. Because if I'm reconsidering my vote and I changed it,
First, the item on the agenda is just to reconsider for all of the council to reconsider. So now under this item, you can make a motion to not appoint. And so there needs to second that and then you all can appoint someone else.
Got it, okay. Well then I will make a motion to, I guess to not appoint. one member to the Floresville Economic Development Board. Daniel Cahala. Mayor, I have a question.
What?
Before the second, is there a reasoning why this item was voted as a yes and now it's being rescinded as a no? Is there explanation to that for the people of Floresville?
Can we get a second for discussion purposes?
Motion made by Ms. Flores. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Ms. Barrera-Cantu. Go ahead. Okay, we have a motion on the floor.
Go ahead.
My question still stands.
The motion to reconsider is procedural, correct? It doesn't involve debate on the merits of the item.
So, again, now you're on... AND A COUNCILMEMBER IS ASKING IF YOU HAVE A REASON FOR IT. AND IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE ONE, YES. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE ONE, YOU DON'T NEED TO. YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE ONE. OKAY.
ALL IN FAVOR? THREE ALL AGAINST. NOTHING. Okay, two.
I couldn't hear through the microphone, so whatever just happened, I apologize.
Okay, all in favor, and there was three all against.
Okay, I'm against.
Okay, three, two, motion passes. Okay, moving on to executive session.
Wait, is there going to be an important member, or are we going to do that next meeting?
Okay, we'll come back next meeting. The agenda item does state to include any reappointments of current members' appointment to fill vacancies and or replace existing members.
Do you want to, Mr. Councilmember Lambert, do you want to bring this back to the next meeting as well?
Yes, ma'am. Yeah, I would like to make my appointment next meeting. Thank you.
