CONSENT AGENDA: CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION

Page 9: City of Alvin, Texas council packet.pdfConsider a separation agreement with the City Attorney; and/or B. Settlement offer pertaining to the City Attorney’s employment agreement

MINUTES - 2 - April 6, 2017

A. Approve minutes of the March 9, 2017 City Council workshop meeting. B. Approve minutes of the March 16, 2017 City Council regular meeting. C. Consider authorizing the City Manager to send a letter to the Brazoria County Mosquito Control

District for the continuation of aerial spraying services for the 2017 season. This is an annual request for authorization from the Brazoria County Mosquito Control District for the continuance of aerial spraying over the City of Alvin. The spraying is performed during massive outbreaks of mosquitoes (typically in summer and fall months) by the contracted aerial sprayer. The County will put out notifications through their respective social media accounts and other means available. The flying schedule depends heavily upon the landing rate counts, weather and wind conditions. As a result of the variables listed, the County is unable to give notice of the specific flying time in advance. Aerial spraying has proven to be an effective measure for mosquito control in Brazoria County.

D. Consider Resolution 17-R-09; finding that CenterPoint Energy Resources d/b/a CenterPoint Energy Entex and CenterPoint Energy Texas Gas’ (“CenterPoint” or “Company”) Statement of Intent to Increase Rates filing within the City should be denied; finding that the City’s reasonable rate case expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company; finding that the meeting at which this resolution is passed is open to the public as required by law; requiring notice of this resolution to the company and legal counsel. The City, along with 32 other cities served by CenterPoint Energy Resources d/b/a CenterPoint Energy Entex and CenterPoint Energy Texas Gas (“CenterPoint” or “Company”) is a member of the Gulf Coast Coalition of Cities (“GCCC”). The coalition has been in existence since the early 1990s. GCCC has been the primary public interest advocate before the Railroad Commission, the Courts, and the Legislature on gas utility regulation matters for nearly 30 years, and seeks to protect the interest of the City and CenterPoint customers residing in the City. The City is a gas utility customer of CenterPoint and a regulatory authority with an interest in the rates and charges of CenterPoint. The City retains its rights as a city with original jurisdiction including the right to suspend a rate increase application filed by CenterPoint. On November 16, 2016, CenterPoint Energy Resources d/b/a CenterPoint Energy Entex and CenterPoint Energy Texas Gas (“CenterPoint”) filed a Statement of Intent seeking to increase natural gas rates to all customers residing in its Houston and Texas Coast Divisions. CenterPoint also proposed consolidating the Houston and Texas Coast Divisions into one Texas Gulf Division. In its filing, CenterPoint asserts that it is entitled to a $31 million increase in the Cities, or a 10.4% increase over current adjusted revenues, excluding gas costs. Council previously passed Resolution 16-R-29 which suspended the December 21, 2016, effective date of CenterPoint’s rate increase for the maximum period permitted by law, to allow the City to evaluate the filing, determine whether the filing complies with the law, and if lawful, to determine what further strategy to pursue, including settlement and ultimately to approve reasonable rates. In November, the Gulf Coast Coalition of Cities (GCCC) engaged the services of two consultants, Ms. Connie Cannady and Mr. Karl Nalepa, to review the Company’s filing. The consultants identified numerous unreasonable expenses and proposed significant reductions to the Company’s request. Accordingly, GCCC’s attorney recommends that all GCCC members adopt the Resolution denying the rate change. Once the Resolution is adopted, CenterPoint will have 30 days to appeal the decision to the Railroad Commission where the appeal will be consolidated with CenterPoint’s filing for the environs and those cities that have relinquished their original jurisdiction (i.e. Gas Utility Docket No. 10567) currently pending at the Commission. Under the law, cities with original jurisdiction over this matter have 125 days from the initial filing to take final action on the application. By the agreement of the parties, this deadline was suspended until April 7, 2017. As such, all cities with original jurisdiction will need to adopt the resolution no later than April 7, 2017.

E. Consider bid award for the replacement of two (2) 14-yard dump trucks to Houston Freightliner Inc., in an amount not to exceed $192,838. On February 13, 2017, the City advertised a notice to bidders for the purchase of two 14-yard dump trucks. Those bids were publicly opened on February 28, 2017. All of the bids received met the requirements set forth in the City’s invitation to bid for the dump trucks. Houston Freightliner Inc. was the lowest bidder and showed a savings of $1,000 vs a HGAC contract. The results of the bids received are as follows:

Page 10: City of Alvin, Texas council packet.pdfConsider a separation agreement with the City Attorney; and/or B. Settlement offer pertaining to the City Attorney’s employment agreement

MINUTES - 3 - April 6, 2017

Bidder Bid Proposal

Houston Freightliner Inc. $192,838

Vanguard Truck Center of Houston $218,546

Southwest International Trucks $218,800

Southwest International Trucks $225,920

The acquisition of two new dump trucks was approved and adopted by city council in the FY17 budget. The two new Freightliner dump trucks will replace two International dump trucks (1999 and 2000 models) with comparable features, that have exceeded the 15-year replacement cycle. The current dump trucks will be auctioned in a public sale, once the new trucks arrive. Dump trucks are used in the daily operations of Streets and Drainage to haul spoil to and from various projects.

Council member Sanger asked to remove Item E - Consider bid award for the replacement of two (2) 14-yard dump trucks to Houston Freightliner Inc., in an amount not to exceed $192,838 from the consent agenda.

Council member Adame moved to approve the consent agenda excluding Item E as presented. Seconded by Council member Arendell; motion carried on a vote of 7 Ayes. OTHER BUSINESS: Consider bid award for the replacement of two (2) 14-yard dump trucks to Houston Freightliner Inc., in an amount not to exceed $192,838. This item was removed from the consent agenda by Council member Sanger for discussion. Discussion had. Council member Adame moved to award bid for the replacement of two (2) 14-yard dump trucks to Houston Freightliner Inc., in an amount not to exceed $192,838. Seconded by Council member Starkey; motion carried on a vote of 7 Ayes. Consider a Final Plat of Briscoe Building Complex (1410 S. Gordon St.), being a subdivision of 2.785 acres of land, situated in block “E” of the subdivision of the H.T. & B.R.R. Company Survey, Section 14, Abstract 449, Brazoria County, Texas, and being out of that certain tract described in a deed to Briscoe Building Corporation recorded in volume 631, page 538, deed records of Brazoria County, Texas. On March 1, 2017, the Engineering Department received the final plat of the Briscoe Building Complex for review. The property is located at 1410 S. Gordon St. and is being subdivided to sell vacant lots 2 and 3 for possible future development. This plat complies with all requirements of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the plat comply with the adopted Thoroughfare Plan which is the reason for the right-of-way dedication across vacant Lot 2. Acquiring right-of-way via donation during the platting and development process saves the City money in the future when roadways are widened and require additional right-of-way. A prime example of acquiring right-of-way during the platting process would be the 120’ wide right-of-way that was donated when the Midtown Park Subdivision was platted, in preparation for the FM 528 extension. The City Planning Commission did not send a recommendation forward regarding this plat since two separate motions that were made, at the meeting on March 21, 2017, ended in a tie (three (3) commission members were absent) and therefore failed. The first motion, made by Commission Member Reed, was to approve the plat without the required right-of-way dedication across Lot 2. The second motion, made by Commission Member Starkey, was to approve the plat as presented. Staff recommends approval. Council member moved to approve a Final Plat of Briscoe Building Complex (1410 S. Gordon St.), being a subdivision of 2.785 acres of land, situated in block “E” of the subdivision of the H.T. & B.R.R. Company Survey, Section 14, Abstract 449, Brazoria County, Texas, and being out of that certain tract described in a deed to Briscoe Building Corporation recorded in volume 631, page 538,

MINUTES - 4 - April 6, 2017

deed records of Brazoria County, Texas. Seconded by Council member Richards; motion carried on a vote of 4 Ayes with Council member’s Sanger and Arendell voting No.

Consider a Master Preliminary Plat of Huntington Place (located in the City of Alvin’s ETJ at the northeast corner of FM 521 and Juliff Manvel Road), being a subdivision of 231.520 acres of land situated in the William Pettus League Survey, Abstract 68, Fort Bend County, Texas, being out of and part of lots 1-9, 39, 40 and 41, Emigration Land Company, a subdivision recorded in volume 618, page 725, deed records of Fort Bend County, Texas and with consideration of a variance to the City’s Code of Ordinances Section 21-110 (b)(4) regarding lot size and Section 21-110 (b)(5) regarding lot width. On March 1, 2017, the Engineering Department received the Master Preliminary Plat of Huntington Place for review. This subdivision is in the City of Alvin’s ETJ at the northeast corner of FM 521 and Juliff-Manvel Road. This Preliminary Plat consists of 940 lots, 31 reserves and 21 blocks. Master Preliminary Plats of Huntington Place were originally approved by the City in 2007 and 2010 but have since expired since they are only valid for a period of five years. Both plats had lots that were a minimum of 50 feet wide and 5,500 square feet in area, meeting the current ordinance. LJA Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the Developer, Woodmere Development Co. has requested two variances to the City Code of Ordinances. The variances being requested are as follows: 1. A variance to Section 21-110(b)(5) which states that all lots within planned unit development subdivisions are

required to have a minimum front lot width of fifty (50) feet. Woodmere Development Co. has requested to be permitted to construct lots with a minimum width of forty-five (45) feet for reasons outlined in the attached letter.

2. A variance to Section 21-110(b)(4) which states that all lots within planned unit development subdivisions are required to have lots with a minimum area of five thousand five hundred (5,500) square feet. Woodmere Development Co. has requested to be permitted to construct lots with a minimum area of five thousand four hundred (5,400) square feet for reasons outlined in the attached letter.

The City Planning Commission voted by a margin of five (5) votes to three (3) votes (three (3) commission members were absent) to deny approval of the plat and the two (2) variance requests, at their meeting on March 21, 2017. The five commission members that voted to deny the plat did not give a reason for their no votes, however from the discussion it was apparent that they were not in favor of the reduced lot sizes and that little attempt was made on the Developer’s part to try and meet the required lot size. Staff recommends denial. This item was removed from consideration by the requestor. No action was taken. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER Review preliminary list of items for next Council meeting. Ms. Breland reviewed the preliminary list of items for the next Council meeting.

Items of Community Interest. Mrs. Roberts reviewed items of community interest. REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS Announcements and Items of Community Interest. Council member Thompson thanked the City’s volunteers and congratulated police staff on their promotions. Council member Arendell thanked all the City’s volunteers and congratulated Milton Morgan on receiving the Volunteer of the Year award.

 This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is being executed by the Alvin Independent School District (ISD) Police Department and the City of Alvin Police Department pursuant to provisions of the Texas Education Code, 37.081(g). Said provision requires that "a school  district  police  department  and  the  law  enforcement  agencies with which  it  has  overlapping  jurisdiction  shall  enter  into  a memorandum of understanding that outlines reasonable communications and coordination efforts between the departments and the agencies."  The herein‐named departments agree to the terms and provisions of this MOU throughout the duration of the agreement and further agree to work in partnership for the protection, safety and security of its schools, students, faculty, staff and citizens.  

PURPOSE:   The purpose of this MOU is to set out a common understanding of the practices and procedures that the Alvin ISD Police Department and law enforcement agencies with overlapping jurisdictions (Agencies/Departments) will follow in providing police services to the citizens and inhabitants of their respective and overlapping jurisdictions. This MOU is not a contract, but is an agreement to establish a spirit of cooperation between the Alvin ISD Police Department and the Alvin Police Department. It is a continuing effort to provide a more efficient delivery of law enforcement services to the schools, citizens and inhabitants of the district and communities of Alvin ISD. These guidelines are established to better serve and protect the common interest of the public school system and the school community at‐large from crime and the threat of crime and violence.  

MISSION:   WHEREAS, the growth and complexity of crime and violence knows no boundaries: criminal conduct, organized gang activity, youth violence, the threat of terrorism, and other criminal activity are not limited to specific jurisdictions; and  WHEREAS, the chief law enforcement administrators for the Alvin ISD Police Department and Alvin Police Department have agreed to enter into this MOU for the purpose of enforcing traffic and criminal laws, deterrence and prevention of crime, as well as the efficient management of crime reporting, investigation of criminal offenses and utilization of resources.  We jointly resolve that cooperation between departments serves to eliminate duplication of services and the waste of public resources,  results  in  the  improved  accumulation  of  crime  data,  a  more  proactive  response  strategy  and  ultimately  in  the reduction of crime within the jurisdictions served.   

AGREEMENT TERMS:  

I.         Mutual Assistance  The  parties  hereto  recognize  the  vulnerability  of  the  people,  communities  and  schools  located  within  respective jurisdictions and the Alvin Independent School District to damage, injury, and loss of life and property resulting from criminal acts, natural or man‐made catastrophes, riots, or hostile military or paramilitary actions; and 

 The full effective utilization of the resources available to the police departments with overlapping jurisdiction for the City of Alvin and  the Alvin  Independent School District may be necessary  for  the prompt and efficient  rescue,  care and treatment of persons victimized or threatened by crime or disaster, and the law enforcement agencies agree to provide mutual assistance consistent with mutual aid plans developed by the chief law enforcement officials of the hereto signed MOU.
