Okay. [clears throat] Uh, next item is a report from our mission economic development corporation. Hello, Candace. Hello. Good afternoon, mayor, council, and city managers. Candace Rodriguez, communications manager for the mission EDC, here to do our economic activity update. So starting off, we were honored to welcome and to host Jesus Salvador Gonzalez Martinez, the secretary of economic development for the state of San Luis Potocei, Mexico to mission last Thursday. This visit reinforced our growing partnership with one of Mexico's most dynamic and fastest growing regions. It also marked a major milestone for the city of Mission as our CEO, Mr. Techlo Garcia was formerly appointed as a honorary representative of the state of San Luis Potosi. This partnership continues to create opportunity for both sides of the border and positions mission as a trusted bridge for global growth. Mission EDC has recently launched mission mind share which is a new entrepreneurship circle designed specifically for mission EDC program participants and awardees rather than a traditional workshop. Mission mindshare is designed as a collaborative working session where business owners can share insights, ask questions and leave with actionable takeaways. Our first Mission Mind Share session was held in January and focused on marketing and brand clarity. This session was led by myself along with Ya Sam, uh, CEO of Brand Genius, featured hands-on discussion around intentional content, messaging, and brand alignment. And Mission Mind Share will meet quarterly with the next session scheduled for April. Mission EDC continues to host the UTRGB market lab at the seed in partnership with the Utrdv Robert C. Vaker College of Business. Just a reminder, this is a free six-week uh initiative that provides business owners with practical tools to strengthen their brand, better understand their target audience, and make informed datadriven business decisions. Although we're sad to see them go, their final session will take

place this Friday, February 13th, in collaboration with the Veter Innovation Platform Idea Lab, focusing on customer discovery through design thinking in an interactive hands-on format. We're also looking forward to host market mix on March the 6 where the seed will be transformed into a focused study environment. Participants will pitch their business ideas in breakout rooms and receive realtime feedback. The mission EDC join our partners at the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Point Paddle Club. This project represents a $ 1.5 million private investment and includes a 19,000 square foot facility that brings more than 15 new jobs to the city of Mission. Beyond creation, Point Paddle Club contributes to Mission sports, recreation, and lifestyle economy, attracting residents and visitors while encouraging continued private investment here in the city of Mission. Mission EDC continues its ongoing collaboration with leadership mission providing support and resources for their program. Last month, leadership mission held their economic development class focus on intentional leadership that drives growth and opportunity here in the city of Mission. Participants heard directly from leaders shaping our local and regional economy such as our CEO, Mr. Techlo Garcia, as well as Mark Hannah of SVN Hannah Solutions, Rick Guerrera, the director of economic development at COEP, and Mr. Dr. Hector Sanchez, the vice chair of membership development for the greater mission chamber of commerce. These cont these conversations help cultivate the next generations of community and business leaders here in mission. And to end on a lighter note, the mission EDC was proud to participate in the Texas Citrus Fiesta Parade of Oranges on January 31st. Our entry featured a custommade float and a MCI [clears throat] MEEDC, excuse me, organizational vehicle themed to Citrus of the South. As you

can see, we have our board president, Mr. Richard Anand, our CEO, Mr. Techlo Garcia, as well as myself, our programs director, Brianna Gaseres, and Joe Salasad, our financial officer that participated. And it was a great opportunity to celebrate community tradition, connect with our residents, and remind the citizens of mission that their mission starts here. And that's my that's all I have for you all. Any questions?

Anybody have any questions? Thank you. Thank you. I love the stickers on the suburban. Thank you. Great job. Okay. Okay, up next we have the racial profiling and analysis report for 2025 by our chief Doris. Good evening uh council mayor. I'm here to uh talk about the racial profiling report that has been submitted to the state. The mission police department has adopted a detailed written policy on racial profiling. uh profiling. Our agency clearly defines acts of constituting racial profiling. Strictly prohibits peace officers from engaging in racial profiling. Uh implements the process of how to file a complaint. Provides public education relating to the agency's complaint process. Uh requires appropriate corrective action for officers who are engaging racial profiling. Public education as well. And it requires collective information regarding to ethnicity searches, consent to search, uh if the officer knew the ethnicity before the stop, uh whether we use uh physical force during the stop, location of the stop, and reason for the stop. The law also requires a chief administrator to submit an annual report, which this is to the Texas Commission Law Enforcement, which we have, and to the governing body, which I'm here for. The Mission Police Department has satisfied the statutory data audit requirements as prescribed in article 2.133 of the code of court procedures during the reporting period which was for 2025.

Second reading will be on February 24th, 2026 with a final approval of ordinance on March 10th, 2026, 30 days after the first reading. The ordinance will take effect on April 10th, 2026, which is 30 days after the final passage as per city charter section 10.02. Staff and interim city managers recommend approval.

Okay. And this is just a first reading. Is that correct? So there's no correct. We um the ordinance does require uh a motion and a second on their particular ordinance. So I guess just a motion in a second that approving the first reading, but we don't give it an ordinance number until

they they have a little addendum on the end. They have an addendum where every time it comes out, we've got to put uh who who who motioned and who seconded what the vote was. So the the item would be to um just approve the first reading. Approve the first reading of the ordinance, but not necessarily approving the ordinance.
