[WORK SESSION - 6:30 PM]
[00:00:03]
PROSECUTE? YEAH. CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER. THIS IS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD OF 2026 AT 6:30 P.M. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT, AND THIS IS THE WORK SESSION. ITEM NUMBER TWO WILL BE PRESENTED BY MR. NEAL. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, YOU ALL MAY RECALL THAT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026, WE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE FLEET MANAGEMENT TO ESTABLISH OUR FLEET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. AND TONIGHT WE HAVE OUR SENIOR CLIENT STRATEGY MANAGER, WHO WILL GIVE YOU ALL A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH THE PROGRAM.
KAYLA, CAN YOU HEAR US? YES. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING ME. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A QUICK UPDATE ON WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE FLEET SINCE WE HAVE PARTNERED. SO WHEN WE STARTED OUT, WE PLACED AN ORDER FOR 32 VEHICLES.
OF THOSE 32 VEHICLES, WE'VE HAD TEN DELIVERED TO THE CITY ALREADY. WE HAVE A REMAINING 22.
OF THOSE 22, 20 OF THEM ARE AT THE UPFIT RIGHT NOW GETTING THEIR EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AND WILL BE WORKING THROUGH BEING DELIVERED TO THE CITY AS WELL. AND THEN THE REMAINING TWO ARE STILL IN ORDER RECEIVE STATUS. SO THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER PROCESS. RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE SOLD NOT COMPLETELY SOLD, BUT WE'VE PICKED UP TO SELL TWO VEHICLES FOR YOU ALL.
SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING YOUR FIRST TWO VEHICLES. WE HAVE ANOTHER THREE TITLES THAT HAVE BEEN ON THEIR WAY TO US IN A FEW MORE THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AS WELL, SO WE CAN GET SOME RESALE FIGURES FOR ■YOU ALL AS WELL. PRIOR TO PARTNERING WITH US, YOU ALL ALREADY HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH WEX, THE FUEL PROGRAM. WE HAVE TRANSFERRED THAT OVER TO THE WEX ENTERPRISE. SO STILL SAME PROGRAM. IT'S JUST NOW INTEGRATED INTO THE FLEETS WEBSITE. SO THE CITY HAS ACCESS TO SEE THEIR FUEL INFORMATION AT THE SAME PLACE THEY'RE SEEING THE VEHICLE INFORMATION. WE HAVE A HAD THE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ROLL OUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE FLEET FOR THE CITY. 33% OF THE FLEET HAS ALREADY USED THAT PROGRAM AS TAKING THE VEHICLE IN AND SEEING THE BENEFITS OF THAT. SO AS WE CONTINUE TO GO ALONG AND THESE VEHICLES ARE IN SERVICE LONGER, WE'LL HAVE THE WHOLE FLEET GOING THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND USING IT. OUTSIDE OF THAT, THE CITY. AND I'LL BE MEETING LATER ON THIS WEEK TO BEGIN THE PROCESS TO START PLANNING FOR FISCAL YEAR 27. WE KNOW Y'ALL START BUDGETING EARLY, SO WE'LL BE MEETING TO START THAT. PLANNING TO BE READY TO GO ONCE YOUR FISCAL YEAR 27 IMPLEMENTS THAT. WE COULD PLACE ORDERS FOR THOSE VEHICLES AS WELL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WE HAVE QUESTIONS. IS THERE A BACKLOG WITH VEHICLES LIKE THERE WAS 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO RECEIVING FROM MANUFACTURERS? SORRY. IS THERE A MAJOR BACKLOG FROM MANUFACTURERS ON RECEIVING VEHICLES? IT WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. COULD HARDLY GET A VEHICLE. NO, WE WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT ANYMORE. WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING THE VEHICLES PRODUCED MUCH QUICKER THAN WE'VE SEEN SINCE COVID HAPPENED. SO WE ARE FINALLY BACK TO THE TIMES PRE-COVID WHERE WE WERE AT A PLACE ORDERS AND GET VEHICLES IN WITHIN MONTHS. SO WE'RE WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT ISSUE RIGHT NOW. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE. MAMATA WILL PRESENT THIS. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER, CITY MANAGER. I'M HERE TO RECEIVE A DIRECTION ON A COUNCILMAN REQUEST FOR AMENDING THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS AMENDED BACK IN SEPTEMBER 8TH ON CHAPTER 19 RELATED TO SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE. I THINK JOJO HAD REQUESTED TO AMEND IT. OR WE WANT TO GET A DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. DURING THE ORIGINAL PASSAGE OF THE ORDINANCE THAT JUST RECENTLY WENT, WE WANTED THE ITEM TO COME. THE ITEM WAS REQUESTED TO COME BACK TO TALK ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THOSE BINS AS IT RELATES TO PROPERTIES THAT HAVE DOUBLE FRONTAGES. YES. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SHOPPING CENTER ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. SO.
THEY DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH ROOM IN THE BACK. BUT DO WE WANT TO ALLOW HOWEVER MANY BUSINESSES ARE ON THERE THAT MANY DUMPSTERS CLOSURES. SO IN ESSENCE THERE COULD BE 12 DUMPSTERS. EACH BUSINESS COULD HAVE A DUMPSTER. HOW DO WE WANT TO MANAGE THAT? CURRENTLY?
[00:05:06]
THAT'S THE WAY THE ORDINANCE WOULD READ THOSE TYPE OF. SO WHEN YOU SAY ENCLOSURE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE. THE FENCE, THAT'D BE KIND OF HARD TO DO ACROSS THE STREET OVER THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SO COMPACTED. CORRECT. THEY'RE ALL REAL SMALL, NOT VERY MUCH SPACE.DO WE WANT TO ALLOW 12 DIFFERENT DUMPSTERS? WHEN YOU SAY DUMPSTERS, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ACTUAL DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES. YEAH, THERE'S THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH ROOM OVER THERE WOULD IT. 2 OR 3 BUSINESSES FOR DUMPSTER. VERY SMALL OVER THERE IN THE BACK. THERE'S A THERE'S A ALLEYWAY IN THE BACK. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM BEHIND EACH EACH ESTABLISHMENT. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A LARGE ENOUGH AREA THAT YOU COULD PUT MORE THAN I DON'T KNOW. HOW MANY BUSINESSES. ARE THERE MULTIPLE DUMPSTERS AT ONE TIME. THERE'S NOT A LARGE ENOUGH AIR TO EVEN DO THAT. DUMPSTERS BACK THERE FOR THAT MEAN. I DON'T THINK THERE'S EVEN A LARGE ENOUGH SPACE BEHIND THOSE TO PUT, SAY, MULTIPLE DUMPSTERS. RIGHT. SO I'M JUST SAYING THAT THAT TO ME IS AN AREA WE NEED TO ADDRESS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I MEAN, EVEN IN THE EDC, WHERE THE BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN, I SHOULD SAY WHERE THE BUILDINGS ARE ALL TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT TO ALLOW DUMPSTERS THERE? MAYBE. I THINK THE WAY IT'S DOWNTOWN HAS WORKED REAL WELL. YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S SHARING THAT ONE, RIGHT? THE EDC. YEAH. RIGHT. BUT LIKE THE OTHER BUILDINGS ACROSS CATTY CORNER FROM FRISCO'S OR ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY EAST COAST, RIGHT. YOU KNOW, BUILDINGS THAT WE DON'T KNOW, WE DON'T OWN AS EDC, I UNDERSTAND, COULD BE A PROBLEM.
YEAH. SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO Y'ALL'S ATTENTION. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO ADDRESS. I'M NOT SURE HOW IT CAN BE ADDRESSED, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT OVER THERE LIKE BY THE LAUNDROMAT AND DOLLAR GENERAL AND ALL THAT. YEAH. RIGHT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I THINK THERE'S ONE ACROSS. I THINK YELLOW HAS A DUMPSTER. SO JUST THINK WHERE THAT'S AT.
YEAH. TIMES. HOWEVER MANY BUSINESSES WANT TO PUT IN A DUMPSTER. SO IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA IF WE CAN DESIGNATE CERTAIN ONES FOR CERTAIN TRASH CANS, MAYBE FOR BIG DUMPSTERS BACK THERE. AND THEY ALL CAN. I MEAN, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY CONGESTED BACK THERE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD DO THAT WOULD BE TO DO A SHARED DUMPSTER SITUATION FOR ONE FOR EVERY BUSINESS. AND ALSO ON THAT PROPERTY, EACH INDIVIDUAL SECTION IS A BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNER FOR THEM. SO SOME SMALL BUSINESS HAS A LITTLE TRASH CART LIKE RESIDENTIAL TRASH CART. AND THE BIG BUSINESS HAS A DUMPSTER. SO IT IS HARD TO ENFORCE ON HAVING AND I WOULD THINK YOU'D WANT TO GET SOME INFORMATION FROM REPUBLIC OR WHO'S WHO'S OUR SOLID WASTE FROM FRONTIER. SORRY. FROM FRONTIER BEFORE YOU, YOU KNOW, START TELLING BUSINESSES THAT THEY HAVE TO CONSOLIDATE AND USE, YOU KNOW, COMBINED TO USE ONE DUMPSTER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD JUST BE SWITCHING OUT ONE PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER IF YOU THEN HAVE GOT OVERFLOW AND THAT SORT OF THING. YEAH, I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT STAFF TO TALK WITH FRONTIER, TALK WITH THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS, HAVE THAT THAT PROBLEM, THAT ISSUE, AND SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH SOLUTION THAT WE CAN ALSO ADDRESS THE OKAY, RATHER THAN TRYING TO THINK IT'S GOING TO WORK. AND LIKE COUNCIL SAID, WE'RE CREATING ANOTHER PROBLEM.
I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS READ TODAY AND LOOKING AT THAT SHOPPING CENTER AND LOOKING AT DOWNTOWN, YOU, IN ESSENCE, COULD HAVE MORE THAN ONE DUMPSTER WITH ENCLOSURE ON THE FRONT FACING PART OF THE PROPERTY. RIGHT? AND I MEAN, ME AS A BUSINESS OWNER, I WOULDN'T WANT A DUMPSTER IN THE FRONT TO BE SEEN. BUT, YOU KNOW. SOMETHING I WANT I WOULD LIKE STAFF TO LOOK AT AND TALK TALK TO FRONTIER BUSINESS OWNERS, SEE IF THERE'S A. THE BACK IS AN OPTION I DON'T KNOW OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE IF WE TRY TO DO IT ON THE FRONT THEN IT'S GOING TO TAKE UP A LOT OF THIS PARKING SPACES OVER THERE. SO IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING IN THE BACK I'D PROBABLY BE GOOD. AND IF IT'S PARKING LOT IS FULL, IT COULD PROHIBIT THE DUMPSTER FROM BEING EMPTY. BLOCKAGE. YEAH. IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS OTHER THAN THEM? DO YOU HAVE CONCERN OF THE ONLY ONES I CAN THINK OF IS SOME SOME IN DOWNTOWN AND THEN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, MR. EAGAN. RULES AND PROCEDURES.
[00:10:02]
YOU'RE ALL ABOUT RULES. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. WE TOUCHED ON THIS TOPIC AT THE LAST MEETING. AND IN FRONT OF YOU YOU HAVE FOUR VERSIONS OF HOW THE FINAL CAME TO TO FRUITION. SO YOU HAVE THE CURRENT EXISTING RULES OF PROCEDURE. YOU HAVE THE RED LINE WHICH SHOWS WHERE THINGS CHANGED AS FAR AS OPERATIONAL CHANGES, INCLUDING SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS RECEIVED FROM CITY COUNCIL LAST TIME, AND THEN A CLEAN, AMENDED VERSION SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, AMENDED. THE REFORMATTED IT'S JUST SIMPLY PROVIDES GIVES IT A LITTLE BIT OF BEAUTIFICATION PRESENTATION AS FAR AS PROFESSIONALISM, AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OF THE CONTENT PER SE. I DO WANT TO BRING ATTENTION TO PAGE FOUR.WHICH TALKS ABOUT BUSINESS ORDER, BUSINESS AND OUTLINES PUBLIC REQUESTS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEARER THAN WHAT IT WAS BEFORE REGARDING ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR A FUTURE AGENDA AS A REQUEST FROM A CITIZEN OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC AND THEN PUBLIC SPEAKERS OUTLINED A LITTLE BIT BETTER, AND DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN PUBLIC COMMENTS AND PUBLIC HEARING, AS WELL AS YOUR FEEDBACK, TO REDUCE OR LIMIT THE TIME FROM 6 MINUTES TO 3 MINUTES. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THERE, OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WAS MISINTERPRETED FROM YOUR FEEDBACK, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND WE CAN KEEP THAT IN MIND.
THIS WASN'T IN OUR PRIVATE RIGHT? NOT THE RED LINE BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY HARD TO READ THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY FORMATTED. IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO CONFUSE ANYONE.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT ONES. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON IT DURING THE REGULAR SESSION, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TABLE IT FOR THE NEXT MEETING, IT IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU. AND THE OTHER PAGE I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WASN'T THERE. IT'S A SECTION UNDER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, A COMMENT MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER EPPS. AND I THINK JUST GENERAL INQUIRY OF THE COUNCIL REGARDING WHAT DO BOARDS DO, LIKE WHAT ARE THEIR RULES. AND SO LIKE I MENTIONED, THEY GENERALLY FOLLOW WHATEVER THE CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHES FOR ITSELF. AND SO THIS KIND OF MAKES IT MORE CONCRETE STATING THAT THEY WILL FOLLOW WHAT YOU ALL DO AS WELL, MEANING YOU WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OMA. YOU'LL STILL HAVE THE SAME PUBLIC SPEAKING COMMENT LIMITS, AND THAT THE CHAIR WILL HAVE THAT DISCRETIONARY ABILITY AS A MAYOR REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENTS AND OR GROUPING PEOPLE DEPENDING ON WHAT THE TOPIC IS.
BUT ON ON BOARD MEETINGS. PUBLIC COMMENT. CAN IT BE LIMITED TO JUST COMMENTS OF ITEMS ON THE AGENDA? YES. AND THAT WAS INTENTIONAL ON THERE. IF YOU SEE REGISTERED SPEAKERS SHALL BE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON ITEMS LISTED ON THE AGENDA. THANK YOU. I SAID.
THAT'S ALL THAT STATE LAW REQUIRES IS PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. THE COUNCIL GENERALLY, YOU KNOW, EXPANDS THAT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HEAR OTHER CONCERNS FROM CITIZENS. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. AND LIKE I SAID, IT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE REGULAR SESSION FOR CONSIDERATION. BUT IT IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU ALL IF YOU DECIDE TO ADOPT OR IF YOU NEED MORE TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANKS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR TONIGHT? I HAVE NONE, MAYOR. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 6:44 P.M.
WE'LL I'M READY. YOU SURE YOU'RE READY? ALRIGHT. GOOD. CALL THIS MEETING TO

THIS ITEM CONCERNS THE KAUFMAN CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT'S PROPOSED PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR A FUTURE KAUFMAN CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT OFFICE BUILDING UNDER TEXAS TAX CODE SECTION 6.0 51B, WHEN THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT INTENDS TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY, IT MUST NOTIFY ALL PARTICIPATING TAXING UNITS OR ENTITIES, WHICH INCLUDES THE CITY OF SEAGOVILLE, AND REQUEST APPROVAL. IF THE CITY TAKES NO ACTION, THE PURCHASE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONSIDERED APPROVED. IF THE CITY WISHES TO OBJECT, COUNCIL MUST ADOPT A FORMAL RESOLUTION OF DISAPPROVAL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIVING NOTICE. THE KAUFMAN CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT'S BOARD HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE PROPOSED PURCHASE ON THEIR END, AND THE MAXIMUM PRICE THAT THEY HAVE SET IS APPROXIMATELY $92,894 PER ACRE.
THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THE ACQUISITION WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH THEIR EXISTING FUNDS, AND THAT NO ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS BEING REQUESTED FROM PARTICIPATING TAXING UNITS AT THIS TIME. THE RESOLUTION, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, WOULD FORMALLY DISAPPROVE THE PURCHASE. SO TONIGHT, COUNCIL HAS TWO OPTIONS. IT'S TO TAKE NO ACTION,
[00:20:03]
WHICH WILL RESULT IN APPROVAL BY DEFAULT, OR TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND FORMALLY DISAPPROVE THE PURCHASE. THIS ACTION DOES NOT COMMIT THE CITY TO ANY FUNDS OR ALTER OUR OPERATIONS. IT SIMPLY COMMUNICATES THE CITY'S POSITION ON THE PROPOSED PROPERTY ACQUISITION. THAT CONCLUDES STAFF COMMENTS, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU ALL HAVE THEM AT THIS TIME. COUNCIL. HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HAVE A MOTION. YEAH. IF THERE'S NO OPPOSITION, THEN YOU CAN JUST MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM. YEAH.SOMEBODY SHOULD AT LEAST MAKE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. THIS BEING DENIED.

NUMBER 14, MISS GAIL FINCH, YOU FEEL LIKE GETTING UP OR YOU WANT TO. WE CAN LISTEN FROM YOUR CHAIR IF YOU WANT TO. I GOT IT. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER AND EVERYONE PRESENT. EVERY FIVE YEARS, THE CITY ADVERTISES AND REQUESTS THE PROPOSAL FOR FINANCIAL BANKING SERVICES. THIS YEAR, OUR CONTRACT IS UP. SO WE DID. WE DID ADVERTISE. WE HAD ONE RESPONSE AND THAT WAS AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK. THEY ARE CURRENTLY WHO WE BANK WITH. WE'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK. THEY'VE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE TO US. THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED THINGS TO MAKE OUR ACCOUNTS SAFER, LIKE POSITIVE PAY AND A SECOND APPROVER FOR WIRES AND ACH.
THEY ALSO OFFER FREE BANK BAGS AND DEPOSIT SLIPS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THIS YEAR THEY'RE ALSO OFFERING A NO FEE BANKING. THE FEES THAT WE HAD LISTED IN THE PACKET. THEY'RE NOT CHARGING US FEES ANY FOR THOSE THINGS ANYMORE. THE ACCOUNT THAT WE WILL GET INTEREST ON IS OUR MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT, WHICH WE'RE ALREADY GETTING INTEREST IN. THAT'S AT 3.5% INTEREST. SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING AND ASKING THAT YOU APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO APPROVE BANKING, A BANKING CONTRACT WITH THEM FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS WITH TWO ONE YEAR OPTIONS AT THE END OF THAT THREE, THREE YEAR TERM.
