6:15 PM - City Council Work Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/39907/2-3-2020_City_Council_Worksession_Agenda.pdf
This public meeting will be to discuss appointing the P&Z Commission, plus three additional Ad Hoc Members, as the City's Impact Fee Capital Improvements Advisory Committee.
Without more information, I'm not sure whether this is a new board or not, but I'm suspecting it is. We currently have an Investment Advisory Committee and an Impact Fee Advisory Committee, but not one Impact Fee Capital Improvements Advisory Committee. Also, we normally make appointments in August/September, so appointing folks now, lends to my belief that this may be a new board. If you're interested, please come to the meeting. It will not be live-streamed by the City.
==============================
6:30 PM - City Council Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/39906/2-3-2020_City_Council__Briefing_Agenda.pdf
This public meeting is simply to conduct a briefing to discuss agenda items for the 7:00 PM regular Council meeting. It is a great way to get details and hear brief discussion between staff and Council in a more informal setting. It will not be live-streamed by the City
==============================
7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/39904/2-3-2020_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf
Various items of note include:
5c - Approval of Supplemental Appropriation for Administration - City Council Election. According to the memo, the original budget for our May 2020 Election was $8,000 and $10,200 was used for the Charter Election. Now, the estimated cost of contracting the May 2nd election with Ellis County is $7000 and that is the amount that is being requested from the General fund at this time.
7 - Hear presentation on "Shop with a Cop" - This should be a fun presentation about how our police department is forming bonds within the community.
8 - Employee Recognition for earning professional licenses - I think it's great when our staff improve their skills and we have a moment to recognize them for their hard work.
14 & 15 - Consider action plan or action to require the substandard structure located at 712 Givens St. to be secured, repaired, removed, and/or demolished.
18 - Consider proposed Ordinance ordering the election to be held for the purpose of election At-Large Council Member Places 1,2, & 3 and contracting with Ellis County Elections for their services.
19 - Discussion related to potential revision to the Sub Division Ordinance platting process. We recently made changes to our platting process which allows P&Z final authority on some plats. We also just had a replat which had over 35 protests, but was still approved by P&Z. This does not mean that if the replat had gone to Council, it would've been denied, but Council is usually able to take things into account that the P&Z commission cannot. I requested this item to be on the agenda so we could discuss our procedure in greater detail to make sure we want to continue with these recent changes or not.

Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/39908/2-5-2020_TIRZ_Agenda_Packet.pdf
This is a really interesting meeting because there are two requests for help from the TIRZ funds.
4 - Consider funding for the Historical Freight Depot located at 421 S. College St., who is, according to the Secretary of State, owned by DAJP Holdings (Dusty Autry and Jim Phillips). They are requesting TIRZ funds in the amount of $138,484. As a member of the Board of Directors of the TIRZ, I'm sure Mr. Autry will or already has filled out a form to recuse himself from voting.
5 - Consider funding to repair Glenn's Carpet property located at 301 N. College St. - There are no details given regarding this request.
This is a public meeting and therefore residents are welcome and encouraged to attend. The city will not live-stream this meeting.
