City Council - Regular Meeting

is all across this city for the work that you do and the quality and effort that you put into the job day in and day out. So I just I do want to thank you before I read this proclamation proclamation of the mayor of city of Periland. Whereas public works professionals focus on infrastructure facilities and services that are the vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities to public health quality of life and well-being of the people of the city of Perland. And whereas these infrastructure facilities and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public work professionals who are engineers, managers and employees at all levels of government who are responsible for rebuilding, improving and protecting our city's roadways, water supply, water treatment, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential for our citizens. And whereas it is in the public interest for the citizens, civic leaders and children in the city of Perland to gain knowledge and maintain an ongoing interest and understanding of the importance of public works and public works programs in their respective communities. And whereas the year 2026 marks the 66th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association. Be it now. Therefore, I, Quinton Wils, by the power vested in me as a mayor of the city of Perland, Texas, hereby proclaim May 17th to 20 to May 23rd, 2026 as National Public Works Week in Perland. I urge all citizens to join with representatives of the American Public Works Association and government agencies in activities, events, and ceremonies designed to pay tribute to our public works professionals,

Welcome to the city of Perland City Council regular meeting for May 18th. I'll call this meeting to order at 6:47 p.m. Um, if you you could you all stand. Uh we could have the invocation by uh Mayor Pro Tim Shvia followed by the pledge uh by council member Patel. See roll call and certification of quorum. Madam secretary, I do certify that we have a quorum present as all council members are present. Moving on to uh citizens comments. Um I believe we do have some. Okay. And I just want to kind of really reiterate this. Uh to comply with provisions of Texas Open Meetings Act, uh city council may not deliberate on any items listed on the agenda. However, city council will listen to public comment. During public comment, the public shall comply with the council's rules of the quorum. Everyone desiring to present uh I believe should have completed uh a comment card uh submitted to the city secretary and then your name provided.

Uh the rules for each person is three minutes uh to present the information and I would just encourage everyone to please be brief and to the point as possible and so uh Mayor Pro Tim Shabaria if you could help facilitate this portion. Uh thank you Mayor Abel Marino if you will please proceed to the podium and you have three minutes. Thank you for being here, sir.

And I'm representing uh Colony Park here in Periland. Colony Park. Just one second. Could you restate your name one time? Abel Marino. Perfect.

Yes. I'm here tonight representing Colony Park um residential area here in Periland, Texas. And I wanted to uh follow the a complaint. Uh we have a neighbor that uh has five pit bulls uh that that are adjacent to another uh home and the smell is really really bad and not to mention the loudness and uh and then of course what what dogs do by uh secretreting you know both both of I didn't want to say anything vulg or anything but uh you know we know what dogs do and that's why you have the smell And also an easement has been built adjacent to the the dividing uh wooden fence line. And we have gone to the code enforcement and the code enforcement says that up to five um five dogs are allowable at a residence and we've also gone to animal control. And so we're just out crying for our our resident and our neighborhood and me being the HOA president on a resolution, a better resolution for trying to um you know fix this issue and fix this problem that we have. And uh and not to mention last but these these folks can't even enjoy their backyard because of what is going on across uh the wooden fence. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. Uh Ted Brian Calvido Kavita is next, please. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Uh yeah, you can just call me Ted Brian. Last name is Calota. Um Starlight Bay Court over on the west side of Periland. It's great to be here. I'll try to keep this under 60 seconds. Couple years ago, there was a bond that was passed by about 130 votes and our soccer club, Parland Soccer and Shadow Creek Soccer was instrumental in getting that bond passed. We're very happy about that. I know a lot of the tension is toward the drainage side on east side, but I have to say if we can't get Hickory phase 2 done in the next 14 months, we're going to have to say no to about 300 players because we won't have any place to put them. So, whatever you can do, council, please just try to get the ball rolling, get the bid out there somehow, get it moving so we can get that park bill built. It's going to take about one year from the start of the bid in completion. Um, and then finally, I'll close by saying Sugarland has about 9% more single family houses than we do. Let's not make that 12%. Thank you.

Thank you, Victoria Horseberg. Thank you. You have three minutes. Thank you. Good evening, mayor, council, and staff. A few weeks ago, very late in the evening of April 29th, I came across a post on our Avalon Terrace Facebook page regarding a family who had been evicted from a rental home in our neighborhood. Sorry, I may get emotional. And had been living on the front lawn with all of their belongings for four days. The next morning, I drove to the residence. And honestly, I was overwhelmed by what I saw. Personal belongings scattered everywhere. A family sitting in uncertainty, exposed to the elements, exhausted, and simply trying to survive. In that moment, I did the only thing I knew to do. I started making calls to people I knew who would care and who I believed could help. What happened next reminded me exactly of why community matters. Neighbors began showing up. People brought tarps, food, water, supplies, most of all manpower. complete strangers, extended grace, dignity, compassion, and support without hesitation. Tonight, I want to publicly thank a few individuals and organizations in this room and throughout our community who stepped forward during a very difficult situation. Mayor Pro Tim Chavaria, Council Member Joseph Kosa,

city staff members Joel Hardy and Mr. Eper, the Periland Police Department, the Periland Neighborhood Center, and members of my community, including Miss Sunny Cherry, Miss Vanessa Bean, Mr. Brandon Childers, Dr. Chris Schoffler and their families along with several neighbors throughout Post Oak Court and Timberside Drive who quietly showed up and literally helped carry the burden. I also want to personally say that I was honored to assist Mona Chavaria's recent re-election campaign because she truly is a testament to what a civil servant should be. She genuinely loves this community and the residents of Periland, and I witnessed that firsthand during the campaign and throughout this situation. I apologize. Truthfully, any one of the individuals I mentioned tonight would come to my rescue at a moment's notice, and that's something I do not take for granted. There's a quote by Margaret me that says, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Over the past several years, our world has often felt divided, angry, and disconnected. But standing in the middle of that front yard, watching people come together simply because another human being needed help, I was reminded that compassion, kindness, and generosity still exist. And not only do they exist, they must continue to be cultivated, protected, and passed forward. We all have a responsibility for to care for one another, to lead with grateful hearts, and to extend grace whenever we are able. Communities are not built by buildings, roads, or meetings alone.

They are built by people willing to show up for one another in moments that matter most. And Perilyn showed that. Thank you all for reminding me what community truly looks like. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing. Uh thank you everyone for took the time to come out and make comments. Um seeing no no additional comments u moving on to consent agenda. Any items to be removed?

Council member Kosa. Uh can you present items A through E? Certainly. Mayor, consideration possible action consent agenda items A through E. So moved. Second. Second. Motion made by council member Kosa. Second by mayor prom Shavaria. Madam secretary, would you call for the vote? Member Kosa. Hi. Member Eckles. Hi. Mayor Pimm Chavaria. Hi. Member Byum. Hi. Member Cade. Hi. Member Fernandez. I. Member Patel. Hi.

Motion passes seven to zero. Uh now I'd like to uh open this public hearing uh on a request by Muhammad Darwish, Monumental Engineering Services applicant on behalf of Welcome Real Estate Services LLC and Belinda Bachl Trustee uh owners for approval of a zone change from Spectrum 3 S3 district and Spectrum 4 S4 district to plan development district incorporating approximately 9.143 acres of land into the existing Eleanor Clear Creek Plan Development. Uh staff, would you first uh provide any presentation on this item?

Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council. Um tonight's request, as was just read into the record, is for a um PD amendment to um essentially annex into the existing PD. It's located at 1402 Kirby Road as well as 1123, 1127, and 1414 Fujier Road and 14933 and 15041 Hooper Road. They are attempting to um have approval of a zone change to develop the 9.143 acres of land in conjunction with the existing 16.923 acres which were incorporated into the PD in 2023. We did notice the property and have not received any support or opposition to the request from those public notices which were sent out or otherwise. As you can see here, this is a little bit of a site plan showing that this is the existing area which was annexed into the PD in 2023 is this um T-shaped area and the portions which are being proposed to be added to this are the portions portion at the top of this parcel as well as the bottom two corners. Um, so there are several parcels which would be incorporated into the PD. Currently, it's surrounded by medical and research building as well as residential and undeveloped land. On the future land use map, which is a portion of our comprehensive plan, it identifies this area as professional services with manufacturing to the west. With this amendment, it would incorporate this land into the existing mixeduse industrial district, which is the LNR Clear Creek Planned Development. and would ensure that those design regulations are similar to those so that it could be a cohesive development. Um it would incorporate the Hooper Road as a part of the streetscape plan that would be required to meet the existing design guidelines as well. Staff has recommended approval of this zone change from the S3 and S4 zoning districts to the plan development and at planning and zoning commission it was

recommended 6 for approval to you all tonight. And that end staff's report. Thank you for that. Is there uh I think the applicant is there anyone like to speak on it or no? Okay. Please go to the podium and remember to state your name.

Hey, good evening everyone. This is Muhammad Darwish with the monumental engineering. Uh I'm here to represent welcome uh group. Uh I believe you know the staff really did cover uh all the items that you know we would like to discuss regarding the zone change request. Uh so we appreciate the help that the planning team uh provided during this process.

That's perfect. Okay. I don't think there's anyone that uh yeah sure if anyone want to speak for against it uh this is an opportunity to do so. Seeing none. Um, yep. I'd like to close, uh, this public hearing. Okay. Next, uh, Council, Council Member Eckles, uh, can you present, uh, new business item number one, consideration and possible action for first reading of ordinance number 2000M-283. So move.

Second. Uh motion was made by uh council member Eckle, second by council member Fernandez. Any questions? Council member Patel. Yeah, mayor. Uh thank you for that. Um real quick, u I guess north of this property, there's a residential house there. Uh do we know what welcome group is going to build on this track? Uh because I guess the house is getting squeezed on both sides. So just to clarify that there was a house to the north of this between there and Missabichi, but it that property has been everything there has been demolished. Okay. So north of that rectangle, that house that's showing here is no longer there.

Correct. Okay. So that piece has not been acquired. It's still I guess that's correct. It's still owned by who previously owned it. I think they're still potentially looking at developing that property. Okay. And there's I guess west of that there's not really any homes around there. So, okay. Correct. Thank you. Uh, does welcome group are you guys building warehouses or any idea of what you guys are going to put on there? I believe what they've shown us is flex buildings like we've seen elsewhere in that area. Built wall. Yes, sir. Okay. Thank you. Any further questions, discussions? Okay. Hearing seeing none. Madam Secretary, could you call for the vote? Member Eckles. Mayor

Potm Chaved. Hi. Member Byron. Hi. Member Kade. Hi. Member Fernandez. I. Member Patel. Hi. Member Kosa. Hi. Motion passes 7 to zero. Mayor Pro Tim Sharia, can you present uh new business item number two? Public hearing number two.

Sorry, got it. So, I'll open up another public hearing uh on a request from Renee Magcguire, applicant on behalf of Forgotten Angels Foundation, uh owner for approval of a conditional use permit for sheltered care facility use within the general business district on approximately 6.65 acres of land. Uh staff, do you have a report for this as well?

Do you, Mr. Mayor? Tonight's request is a conditional use permit which is required for a shelter care facility within the GB zoning district. Um a sheltered care facility is how it is designed. Um the definition by the applicant is a 5,355 foot residential respbit care environment. Um and the definition essentially translates to the same within that GB district. It does require the cup for the use which is why it is before you tonight. We noticed this as well um with notices and a sign. They were sent to all adjacent property owners with the exception of the property to the due west which does not have an owner listed in the BCAD information and so the sign was posted visibly on the site with adequate time. Um however that information as you saw in your packet um did not exist for that adjacent property owner. It is a largely undeveloped site so there is not a resident that is being affected by it on that location. This property is zoned to general business. You can see it in this slightly arrowheadshaped property here. Um and the future land use map identifies this as a split between several different place types. We have urban living, we have traditional residential, and we have professional services. Um the portion on which this is going to be developed is in this corner here at the norththeast corner. Um just south of the existing building here within the traditional residential place type. Although the split place type does make this a bit challenging to um distinguish between them as an institutional use, it does meet the uses for each of those place types though. This is a site plan showing the existing buildings. I have identified them in a little bit darker gray. It's a little hard to see on the screen, so I apologize in advance, but there are existing buildings here and at the front of the lot here. And this is where that proposed building is going to be. I've put an arrow. I've clouded it. I've done my best to make it visible on this site plan for you. It is pushed back from

industrial dive towards the rear of the property. It does meet the established criteria for the approval of a cup and staff has recommended approval of it. At planning and zoning commission, they recommended approval with a vote of 6 as well in staff report.

Thank you for that. Is there is anyone here to make a presentation? No. Sure. Okay. Mayor, council, my name is Tad Atkins. I'm representing Forgotten Angels Foundation. Um, and and Renee Maguire. Renee sends her apologies for not being here. She's on hospice duty for a very close friend. So um this is not a highintensity commercial use, not a treatment center, not a shelter and not a boarding house. It is a supervised limited occupants respit setting designed to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers. This property is compatible with the existing general business zone and with the property currently nonprofit service context. The operation will be supervised, low traffic, low noise and limited in occupancy. We are willing to accept reasonable conditions regarding occupancy, supervision, parking and operational limitations to asssure compatibility with surrounding areas. With respect, we request an approval. Thank you for those comments. Is there anyone in the audience uh that would like to speak? as well on behalf or against for our Okay, thank you for uh the comments and thank you everyone. And if there's no one else, I'll uh I'll close this public hearing.

Mayor Prom Shavaria, can you present new business item number two? Uh thank you, mayor. Consideration and possible action resolution number R2026-CU 20226-0156. So moved. Second. Motion made by Mayor Prom Shria, second by council member Kosa. Additional questions from council. I just I wanted to say um I appreciate Miss Magcguire and what she's done for our community through um forgotten angels all before this. Thank you. Perfect. Any other comments or discussion items? Seeing or hearing none, uh, Madam Secretary, would you please call for the vote? Mayor Prom Chavia.

Hi. Member Byron. Hi. Member Cade. Hi. Member Fernandez. I. Member Patel. Hi. Member Kosa. Hi. Member Eckles. I. Motion passes seven to zero. You're welcome. Thank you for coming. I'll now open uh this public hearing on a request by Harrison Baldwin of QT South LLC, applicant on behalf of Uluklu and Sunduk Chen, owners, for approval of a conditional use permit for convenience store use within the M1 district on approximately 7.173 acres of land. And staff, do you have a presentation on this as well?

I do. Thank you. This is to be located at 4213 Mard Road and is a request for a convenience store use within the M1 district as was just read into the record. Um the applicant is proposing a 6,445 square foot 24-hour convenience store which would be associated with 16 fuel po fuel pumps on a 7.173 acre parcel with a rear drive aisle for cross access to the adjacent northern property. As a reminder, fuel sales in this zoning district are permitted by Wright. So, it is the convenience store component that triggers the CUP requirement for this site. We noticed this property in accordance with the regulations as well and did not receive any public comment in support or opposition of this request. It is located here at the corner of Maine and Mard, the northwest corner. Um, and as you can see, this is where the flyover, you can see the shadow line of the flyover or the the raised road here. Um, so the access that is being discussed is to this parcel here, which would be um, essentially it has frontage, but it does not have frontage access, which is why that access easement is being requested there. Um, it is a warehouse. There are warehouse developments, self storage, and the Hickory Slooh surrounding this property. On the future land use map, it's identified as the professional services. Professional services is typically for manufacturing centers, office, medical offices, um technolog technology and data centers as well as flex offices and commercial serving primarily those industrial buildings as a secondary use. the site plan because of the the shape of this lot. We've got it split into two here, but you can see the main portion of the lot is here with this small triangle piece being shown on the side here. So that you can see that the detention does go um into the sharp

corner of that triangle with the trees lining the road. Um and then you can see the majority of the site plan is here. To make this easier to read on your screens, we've blown it up here so that you can see it a bit better. Um, so you've got the convenience store with those fueling stations here. This is Main Street and then Mard is on the left hand side of your screen there. So that detention is up at what would be the top of your screen here with the access easement to the property to the north. The applicant has provided us some renderings to get a better idea of what it will look like here. So, here is that um stubout access for the property to the north as well as the fuel station as well as and convenience store here. A few more renderings just so you have a better idea of what it will look like. And then this is a location map for gas stations within one mile of the property. There are six gas stations within the onem radius that was put on this map here. Five of them are within city limits. This one over here is just outside. Staff's found that the CUP meets the established criteria for approval and it's consistent with the the policies of the comprehensive plan including that future land use map and thoroughfare plan. With that, staff recommends approval with the following conditions. The first is that the owner of P165736 shall grant a shared access easement across the property to allow the owner of P 567025 and 567023 access to Mard Road by crossing that Hickory Slooh. And then the other two conditions are fairly standard for what staff has put on um convenience stores with fuel pumps in the past. The first being the exter exterior building facades shall be developed in substantial conformance with materials as depicted in the facade renderings. And the third would be that the columns supporting the fueling station canopy shall be wrapped with a masonary material that is consistent with an architectural element of the

principal building. Following staff's recommendation and the presentation to planning and zoning, PNZ voted 60 to recommend approval with the conditions as presented by staff. And that end staff's report. Perfect. Thank you. And I take it by the gentleman standing at the podium that there is a presentation. Sure.

Good afternoon, mayor and council members. My name is Harrison Baldwin. My address is 17175 Tomal Parkway, sweet 5B, uh, Houston, Texas 77064. I come here as a real estate project manager from QuickRip. I just want to give a very short overview of kind of what we're going to be bringing to the Pilland community. Um, I know your time is very valuable, so I will indeed make this short. Um, just a show of hands. Has anybody here ever been to one of our 1,237 stores by chance? Few people. I just want to go in and, like I mentioned, just kind of go in just quickly who we are, what we're bringing to the Periland community, and why I hope your experience was so great whenever you visited those stores. Our core values are here. I won't read them off to you. Um, one that I just particularly do want to highlight on as it just resonates with everything that we do first and foremost is just doing the right thing. Um, one thing that Quick Trip does, whether we have to or whether we're mandated, we do the right thing, whether it's our building design, uh, which is safe by design, our extra wide drive aisles for safe circulation of traffic, whatever have you, if we look at it and it needs to be done, it's the right thing, even if it costs us a bit extra, it's something we're going to do and a lot of thought goes into that. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for employees to grow and succeed. My part to play in that is finding us new locations where we could promote new managers from existing stores and hire members of the your community into our stores and welcome you into our family. So, we're um also part of your community as well. Few facts about Quick Trip and how we can benefit Perilin directly. Um each new store is going to generate about 20 to 25 new jobs per location. Um here our average store manager salary in the Houston area is about 112,000 up to 120,000 per year with full benefits. Average entry level assistant manager is going to be about $52,000 per year which is above the national average by quite a bit. Also having full benefits. Um if you're just part-time going to school wanting to work hourly where it fits into your schedule in between studying

you're going to be starting at $17 an hour which is pretty great. Um something we're particularly proud of though to get to the meat of it is we are also a national safe place which is a designation we're very proud of. Um we help endangered youth um with over 600 help just last year alone and that grows considerably as we establish a bigger presence in more communities and people understand that we're someone to be trusted for that. Um also QuickTrip contributes 5% of our profits to charitable organizations within the local communities here in which we operate. So it doesn't go back to a national accountant and distributed over large philanthropies nationally. It comes here and specifically reflects in your community. Specifically, here are a few that are on our radar right now, ones that we want to look into and learn more about as we believe that they align really well with our values as well. And we want to find out where needs can be met and how we can help meet those. So keep beautiful neighborhood resource center, the rise program, particularly uh EDC uh youth work program and the YMCA are all ones. If there's more that we'd like to learn about and if there's other needs that we can be met, we'd love to hear about them. Just a brief overview of where Whoops, back to the food too quick. Sorry. Uh brief overview of where we're at right now in the city or in the country and kind of where we're expanding. We're almost coast to coast. Uh our particularly uh new market and our biggest focus right now is the Houston area. We offer a wide variety in our kitchens which we're very proud of. very high quality um made from scratch in about the time it takes to fill up your car. So, you order and you uh and you can be on your way very quickly. Just some tweets that we've had of recent um are a little funny, but they're great. We tend to be pretty popular on social media. To get down to our store design, here's a rendering of our proposal. I believe you just saw it um in our introduction of what we're proposing here at Parland.

Here's our uh mature site as shown at Maine and Mard. Um one thing that's left out here that we would like to also include too is the row of trees along the frontage of Main Street. And just to make sure you all understand those will be preserved as well. We're here to add, not to take away. Here's a site plan um just in the general overview of what it's going to look like. Um, also north to orient yourself here is obviously to the right. I'd like to particularly highlight the area in green is something that as a good neighbor and bring into the community, we are uh willing to work with. We would like to grant an an easement for access to the industrial use behind us so they can access Mard. Um, think they're in a bit of a situation right now. We'd love to accommodate that for them. They're shown there's the access easement um that we would like to be granting them so they can come in and install a drive themselves. our building elevations as you'll see here. And then uh reflective of the planning and zoning uh meeting, we know that the brick wrap masonry is requested to match our building around the fuel canopies. We had that mocked up uh just to show exactly what that would look like. Um one of the things that we particularly adhere to is usually a safe by design. Um, typically those are left a little bare just because of visibility. Um, so we can see properly from the store. But again, that's something we reflected on and realized it still aderes to what we need to do. Something we'd just like to show. So here's just a very basic rendering of what that would look like. So the site looks so great. Y the current zoning M1 Light Industrial allows fuel sales but requires a conditional use permit for a convenience store. Our proposed gasoline station and convenience store represent a beneficial use of the property, providing necessary services and expanding the employment area. Um, also like to mention to this site brings several developmental challenges that would be very difficult for the layman. Um, we welcome those. We uh also we lean into those kind of

developmental challenges and one thing too is once this site was designated as any with uh by our by our uh company as one that we want to go after, it's really nothing's going to get in our way until we see it done. So that's something we're moving full with full steam ahead per approval here. Um and also the proposed use is consistent with the M1 zoning uh district, the Periland Unified Development Code, and the goals outlined in Periland's 2040 comprehensive plan. With that, we do request approval of this CUP. And I'm happy to take any questions. Thank you.

I just had uh does anyone in the audience uh speak for or against Seeing none, uh, only one small question, uh, or just a comment. You could cut the length of slides down by minimizing the clear pictures of the food. Not necessary. Okay. Understood. Sure. Yes. Uh, Council Member Bar,

uh, thank you for your presentation and for considering Parland. I think you got a great product here. And it looks like y'all are building one on 45 and Dixie Farm right now. And I will say I drive that a lot. And just your approach to construction has been excellent because the city of Houston is also tearing that entire intersection apart, putting in lights at the same time. Not sure why that all got done at the same time, but y'all maintained an excellent construction site. You've really paid attention to what's going on. So, I expect nonetheless nothing less for this development here in our community on your uh I don't think I've ever heard a developer come in and say we're going to give back to your community. So, I appreciate that that you don't take money out of our community and send it somewhere else that you contribute back. Um you asked for additional organizations to consider. I'll give you one. We were just earlier this month in May able to do the ribbon cutting on the Isaiah House here in Perland. uh which helps change the change the way foster care begins by bringing a a home to the forefront for these kids when they're taken by CPS out of a bad situation. So that's something you might want to look into. I can certainly help you look into that if you'd like. Otherwise, I appreciate it and I'll support you. Thank you,

Council Makosza. Thank you, mayor. Um yes, thank you for the presentation. Um also, I'd like to say thank you for working with your neighbors for granting access because they are in a hard hard spot to be able to develop that land. So without that um you know it would be a very difficult development. So I appreciate your your uh willing to work with your neighbor. Other comments concerns? Council member Fernandez. Thank you mayor. Um great presentation. Thank you for being here. Uh only question I have just to confirm 18 wheelers are not going to be fueling at this um project. Is that correct? Yes sir. That's correct. This is not a designated fuel stop. It will be fueling our tanks but not fueling their own vehicles.

Okay. Are 18-wheelers going to be allowed to drive onto the property or will there be signage that is not allowed with the exception of the fueling vehicle? I believe that's correct, sir. The 18 wheelers will not be permitted onto our site. Um, which was I believe the purpose of the access easement going across is to separate that traffic. Our supervisor here, Mike Wooten, actually knows more of the detail specifically to that.

Mike Wooten with Quick Trip, same address. I just wanted to clarify. I think you're speaking into what Buckyy's does for not allowing 18-wheers. We do not prohibit 18 wheelers. We just do not service or provide the accommodations for a truck diesel bay. Um, no accommodations for a large truck, but a Pepsi driver or the diesel truck that drops off our fuel. Uh, they're not prohibited on our lot like BISE would do. We just do not offer a separate diesel offer for them. So, just so that I'm clear, so with the exception of your fueling vehicles, 18-wheelers will be allowed to drive in if they want to stop and shop or their 18-wheers in general outside of y'all's zone are not allowed on the property. We do not specifically restrict 18-wheeler circumar lock. We do not provide 18-wheeler parking. We do not provide 18-wheeler services, uh, place for them to dump uh, anything, RV dump, anything like that. Uh, we are a, um, convenience store with auto fuels along the front. I just don't want to commit to you that an 18-wheeler couldn't accidentally come on our lot. We are not servicing them. We are not out to bring an 18-wheeler so they can fuel or park on our property.

Okay. And the reason I'm asking is we have developments that are in the near future coming to the area which will draw some 18-wheers. And so I just want to make sure that, you know, we're controlling the 18-wheers coming in or my concern is 18 wheelers coming in causing a little disruption um traffic flow, how you know because those things are obviously very large Yes, sir. vehicles. And so I just wanted to know kind of what y'all were thinking about how that was going to be handled. Yes, sir. All right. Thank you. Any additional comments, concerns? Uh, Council Member Kate. Yes. I wanted to um thank you for listing the things you don't sell. That was I I appreciated that. I also you had me when you said you were going to save trees. So, thank you,

Council Patel. Thank you, Mayor. Um, sir, your utilities that you're going to tie into Center Point, I'm assuming you're taking off 35. Are you going to bury everything or are you guys planning on putting any more poles down there? Sir, our current utility plan is to actually bury everything. So, you're not adding any more poles. You're going to bring your utility and your pad, uh, I guess your underground all the way to 35 utility, uh, where the poles are now.

The goal is to put them where they're at right now. That's pending on Centerpoint's confirmation that we're able to do. So, we they're very aware of the overlay district and the requirements there. They're working with us with us on that. Um, that's that's the goal as of right now. I would ask staff to make sure that we don't have any overhead um utilities going to this site. Um have you calculated the tree mitigation? I know there's a lot of trees on here. You guys are aware of that? Yes, sir. We are.

Okay. Um that road that you showed in the green that had to be built or I guess are you guys building it or are we putting the responsibility of building and maintaining on the lot that they're going to have an easement with? Do we know yet? You're asking who's responsible for building that? Yeah, that would be that would be the developer on the other side of Hickory Slooh. Okay. All right. Um and then I guess one last thing you guys on your drawings you rendering is all tile and is it stucco or is it all uh the finishing on that? Um is it all tile finish or brick or it's it's brick and and tile? Yes, sir. Okay. All right. Thank you so much.

Yes, sir. Additional comments, concerns. Appreciate you being here. And uh if there's no other concerns, I'm going to close this public hearing. Council member Byum, u would you mind presenting uh new business item number three?

Certainly, Mr. Mayor. Member Byum, I' I'd like to just remind you that there are three staff proposed conditions. If you wanted to accept those now, you might be able to limit the number of potential amendments uh on this item. And if there were any uh city council proposed conditions, you might want to add those as well. Okay. Um can we go back one so I can There we go. Thank you. Sorry. Consideration possible action resolution number R2026- CUP206-0161 with recommended conditions. So moved. Second.

Motion is made by Council Byum, second by Council Kosa. I would mayor like to add number four that there's no overhead power lines to this building. Everything has to be buried. Conditions noted. I was looking to see if somebody was moving to second that. I'm taking that as a proposed motion to amend. Uh member Patel. Yes, sir. Oh, I'll second it. So, there was a motion to amend that um power lines are buried. Correct. Second by I'm I'm trying to clarify if that's already required.

That is already a requirement as this property is located within the corridor overlay district on both Mard and Maine. So, it is going to be something that is reviewed during the building permit process with corridor overlay district review. Thank you so much. So, no motions needed. Correct. So, how do we handle that? Next, we have a motion and a second. Did we have a motion in a second? We did. Yes, sir. I think I heard me Patel with the motion and member Fernandez with the second. So, uh, would you be willing to consider withdrawing your motion? Yes, sir. I'll withdraw my motion. And I'll second that. Thank you.

Motion withdrawn and second by Council Fernandez. Any additional clarifications, amendments hearing? None. Uh, Madam Secretary, would you call for the vote? Member, I. Member Cade, I. Member Fernandez, I. Member Patel. Hi. Member Kosa. Hi. Member Eckles. I. Mayor Prom Chaved. Hi. The motion passes 7 to zero. Thank you. Um, Council Member Cade, can you present new business item number four, please? Yes, mayor. Thank you. Consideration and possible action resolution number R2026-82. So moved.

Second. Motion made by council Kade, second by Council Member Fernandez. Staff report. Thank you, mayor. Uh, this item is for an engineering design contract associated with the Harky Road drainage project, which is part of our 2023 bond program. The design includes the drainage improvements as well as the reconstruction of Harky Road between Broadway and Mary's Creek. Ark Engineers has a long history of successful projects here with us in the city of Perland and we recommend approval in the indicated amount that's just a bit over $1.56 million. Thank you, mayor. Thank you for that. Any questions, additional concerns, comments?

Yes, I do have a question. Mayor Mayor Prom Sharia. Uh, thank you. So, what is the proposed start date?

Typically, we would start just as soon as um you're talking design phase services, right? Yeah, we would start just as soon as we can get the proposal back. So, assuming it takes us two to three weeks to get the I'm sorry, to get the purchase order done. So, as soon as we can get the purchase order done, then they would we would kick them off to start design. Thank you. And then the design scheduled for about 16 months uh before we get to construction. I thought I heard I saw someone else with additional question. Okay. Right. Madam Secretary, would you call for the vote? Member Cade. Hi. Member Fernandez. I. Member Patel. Hi. Member Kosa. Hi.

Member Eckles. I prom. Member Broom I. The motion passes seven to zero. Thank you. Uh, council member Fernandez, can you present business item number five, please? Thank you, mayor. Consideration of possible action resolution number R2026-85. So moved. Second. Motion made by council member Fernandez, second by council Kade. Uh, could I have a staff report, please, on this particular item?

Thank you, mayor. This item is our annual insurance for wind, hail, and wind driven rain. Uh we work with our insurance broker McGriff to solicit proposals, review those proposals, and then review the renewal options um based on um you know going out to the market. Uh this recommendation actually adds uh new buildings uh that we didn't uh that we've completed since the last uh time we renewed. It also increases our total insured value as some of the as you know inflation has driven up the value of our buildings and then also increases our per incident coverage. um while also seeing a decrease in our overall annual premium of about $94,000. So more buildings insured, more value insured, and increased uh per incident coverage while a decrease in an actual premium. Uh so we recommend approval in the uh in amount indicated in the agenda request, which is just over 1.43 million. Thank you, mayor.

Thank you for that. Any questions? Council member Patel. Thank you, mayor. Um, I would I would ask the council to consider a trend. I think there was a proposal that said $75 million was the coverage that we could get. Correct. Is the insurance um broker here today? Sir, would you go mind at the podium? I appreciate it. Um, right above the I guess you have also provided a $75 million at cost of $1.5 million. Am I correct? 1.4. Please state your name. Oh, sorry. Well, my name is Johnny Fontno with McGriff Insurance Services. Thank you, Mr. Fontno. Thank you for coming. Um, and I guess one of the things that was interesting that Windro and Rain was covered.

Is that correct included in the 60 million or the 70 or both? It's included in both. Yeah. I I would I would tell um council to consider just taking the 75 million. You're getting a $15 million valuation increase. And in today's construction cost, I mean, the the the cost is very increal compared to it. I know you're looking at $94,000 savings to get a $10 million bump plus a savings, but I think that $75 million is worth it as you have seen what Hurricane Barl did. Um, again, I think we we'll be within budget. Um, and so again, I would strongly advise that we consider that 75 million coverage,

additional customer comments. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, Rich. So, I think the proposal is at $60 million coverage, right? and you're saving $94,000, but they're giving you an option to do it at $75 million coverage at almost the same cost as what you paid last year. And last year, you had a coverage of 50 million. Did I misspe? Where you see, that's correct. Last year, our coverage was 50, so we bumped it up to 60 this year. 12.

Um, we chose the 60, you know, based on historical um what we've seen during major events. um how how what the claims have been per uh per event. And so that was how we based our decision. Go ahead and take that cost savings uh be able to increase over what we had last year and um go from there. I think for $100,000 you're getting a $15 million additional coverage. I think it's just a piece of mind. As much as money we spend on a lot of other things, $100,000 is not as a drop in the bucket to get $15 million additional coverage. That's that's my point.

But so the the increased premium, if I'm reading this correctly, from 60 million to 75 million is 63,000. Is that correct? That is correct. It's not a hundred. It's even less. Yeah, you're right. But what I'm saying is if you're looking at the 94,000 that you would save, right, if you went with the 60 million or 60 million, you're saving 94,000 from last year. So you'd still be saving 31, but you'd have increased coverage. Is that correct? I'll second. That is correct. We're doing the numbers right math is always sounds correct. Our consultants tell us is correct.

Okay, so fair enough. So the I guess the question what was the rationale behind this proposal versus the other it's just based on historical you know per incident cost that we've seen in the past whenever we've had a barrel or a Harvey or Ike you know the amount of damage that we actually had and had to deal with. Um I think that's why you've seen that we've brought those um for incident uh totals down over the years um as we've seen insurance cost rise. So if I'm not mistaken as far as for um meeting purposes, we would have to either vote down, we'd have to amend it.

Amend it. Yeah. And I think the other thing that went into account is that, you know, we're looking at every penny moving forward because we do have a, you know, a we are going to present a no new revenue budget this fall and so we're scrutinizing everything. Okay.

And and I think that's a fair point, Trent. I really do. But look, the way I look at it, and council member Broom can probably shed some light. I have not seen costs come down. um if you wanted them to come down there yesterday. So I I would say for $64,000 as a cost of vehicle and just it's again my personal belief um in in our business we're saying hurricanes are getting more intense. We keep missing it and the day we have this for $15 million at a $63,000 additional cost. Is it not worth just getting a piece of mind? That that is my point. Uh, I certainly understand that historically we've been below 60 or million dollars, so why why insure it? But we've also put some serious um assets in the ground for starting out with a quarter of a billion dollar sewer plant out there um and again the water treatment plant and again we're investing in the public works uh $20 million. So I I think it's just the peace of mind for me. So I think for $63,000 it's just worth it. So

are the are the wastewater and water infrastructure buildings covered under this or are those under a different policy through the enterprise fund? Believe the uh like the occupied buildings are uh the the main structures. Um I don't know that we cover all of our basins and all of the main structures like that. Britney, you want to address that? Uh, no. We don't have all of the uh structures, just those like the administrative uh building, the membrane. Uh, there's one more building that I'm drawing a blank on.

The administrative buildings, the blower buildings, the the buildings that house some of the equipment, but the main structures and basins, those, you know, that they're built such that, you know, unless it's a direct hit by a probably a tornado, we're not. So, so just to be clear, we just need a motion to amend. I I'll make that motion, sir. I'll make a motion that we amend and uh get the $75 million coverage. Second. Motion was made by Council Patel. Second. I'm sorry.

I was going to say if I could phrase it differently because of the way that the language reads. Uh would you consider a motion to amend the 1,434,98944 uh in the resolution to be $1,528,99581? I assume that's what you meant by your motion. So moved. So where where' the new number wait where where' the new number come from? No, the 1.528 different. It's 1.498. I don't know where I got the 152. It's on page seven before once well when it goes through you have discussion question.

Yeah before yeah I would like to ask our our insurance agent a question prior to the exact number was um for the 75 million was 1.497 3823.27 27. But yes, you have it up here for the grand total uh combined.

So we have 1.35 million to the 1.498 million. I think we had other questions. I just want to ask a question before we vote on the motion. So, we're got line. I'm fine. That's fine. I just want to make sure we get this amendment correct and then I'll move to questions. Correct. Sorry. I make a motion that we uh so moved. Second.

One motion was made by council member Patel. Second by council member Cade. Questions? Council member Kosa. Um yes so from our insurance agent uh I understand you you know stand to gain from an increase which it's not huge but um looking at what we have what we're ensuring what is your advice on good bad or different. Yes. I was telling staff earlier. Yeah. So, we did a a modeling report in 23 and we're running one right now, but uh the one in 10,000 windstorm showed about $84 million potential maximum foreseeable loss. The one in 5,000 was like 62 million maximum foreseeable loss. Now, that's just modeling.

And so, we know the accuracy of modeling and you know, we've seen in the on the Gulf Coast with Houston, no one modeled a hurricane Harvey. So, yeah, it just depends on the storm you get that year. Correct. You could be in or out. I was just curious to kind of get your input since none of us up here are insurance experts. Yeah, I do agree with the the fact that the market has never been in a position where you can buy an extra $15 million limit for, you know, 60s something thousand. It's really inexpensive in this market right now. All right. Thank you, Council Member Kate.

Trent, you mentioned um new buildings added. What new buildings were added, please? I think the the buildings at the surface water plant. I not sure if there was any others but there was there definitely those. Thank you. I just question. So those rates that were posted and we talk about differentiation in these rates and tiers. Um are all of these rate tiers market?

So what we do is when we take your underwriting information, we go to the entire worldwide marketplace. And so we're talking to domestic carriers, London syndicates, London carrier carriers, European carriers, and Bermuda markets. So we build up your limits starting with the first five, the next five, and build a tower. And Britney has the tower. We call them mud maps, but it's basically a tower that shows each carrier on each layer. And then we designate an adjuster so that once you do have a claim, one adjuster is representing all the carriers and we have an adjuster that works with them. But your rates right now are very competitive in this marketplace for as close you are to the Gulf Coast.

I guess what I'm really just getting at is based on these tiers, we talk about differentiation. And I know we're going to go for the vote, but as a um someone presenting it, it could be presented in such that we're going to be steered towards the most profitable tier based on whatever the rates and ranges could be. So when we talk about differentiation and 63 63,000 less or more, if you're are the provider gearing us to make a certain decision, then you could influence us perhaps by making one rate more equitable to to to pursue versus another is what I'm saying. I'm not making any more money at 60 million limit. Just saying that it could be potentially that

forced to make a decision based on the presented to us. The carriers at that extra $15 million pretty much are saying you're never going to have a $75 million loss. That's the bet they're making, but they're making it all across the world. Got it. Thank you. Think at this point uh no further questions or concerns or comments? Uh, oh, I'm sorry. I apologize, Council Member Bar.

Thank you. I just want to say, you know, given the fact Trent, thank you for pointing out that because we gave a no new revenue, I appreciate staff hammering away trying to find savings, presenting savings, um, putting it back on us to be able to say, "Well, we'll spend some more money in that arena, but it's not often that you get increased coverages, increased buildings, and a decreased premium." So, I appreciate y'all's due diligence and your work to make that happen. Thank you. Thank you for that. So, uh, seeing no other comments or concerns, questions, I'd like to, uh, call for the vote. So, to be clear, we're going to call for the vote on the amendment first. Correct.

This is okay. Member Patel, hi. Member Kosa. Hi. Member Eckles. Hi, Mayor. Pro Tim Chavia. Hi, member Byum. Hi, member Cade. I member Fernandez. I motion passes 70 to zero. So there's still So now we're going to vote on the amended motion. Got it. Unless there's additional questions or concerns. Absolutely. That if there are no more uh let's call for the vote. Madam Secretary, member Fernandez. I. Member Patel. Hi. Member Kosa. Hi. Member Eckles. I prom. Member Byum. I member Kade

I the motion passes seven to zero.

Thank you. Moving forward in the agenda uh to other business. I don't believe there's any other business. And so um mayor council issue a city council discussion if there's no other issues for city council discussion. I believe there's executive session. Okay. Uh, so city council now recess uh the open portion of this meeting and move into executive session under the Texas government code which allows the city council to discuss the items listed on the agenda. But the council cannot make a decision or take action during executive session. After the executive session, council return to open session and then we will assess the open portion of our meeting at 7:48 p.m. and enter into executive session.

All right, let's see. Returning from uh executive session at 8:41. No action. And I think that's it. I think we'll adjourn this meeting also at 8:41.
