Holmes, Sr. Councilmembers David K. Leigh and Guy O'Banion were absent. Staff present included Sam Listi, Gene Ellis, John Messer, Amy Casey, Susan Allamon , Chris Brown , Matt Bates, Paul Romer, Bob van Til, Angellia Points, Charlotte Walker, Bruce Pritchard , Judy Garrett, Cynthia Hernandez and Cheryl Maxwell.

Julia Ruiz, 602 Sundown Drive, spoke on street maintenance. She said the chip seal maintenance applied to her street in October 2017 has prevented her children from being able to ride their bikes or scooters. She was told it would be seven years before their street was up for maintenance again. She would like maintenance of her street (HMAC instead of chip seal) moved up sooner in the schedule if possible. Mayor Pro Tern Wayne Carpenter thanked City Staff and Chamber Staff for a very successful 100th Anniversary 4th of July Parade and Celebration. 3. Consider minutes of June 25, 2019, City Council meeting. Upon a motion by Councilmember Holmes, and a second by Mayor Pro Tern Carpenter, Item #3 was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0. 4. Hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending Chapter 22, Article VI, Section 22-106, Schedule A of the Code of Ordinances regarding traffic schedules and speed limit regulations. Director of Public Works Angellia Points explained that after the installation of traffic control devices, an ordinance needs to be passed in order to enforce penalties. Staff will propose an ordinance every six months to keep the list updated. Mrs. Points said the November 18, 2018 adoption of Ordinance 2018-37, Chapter 22 , Article VI , Section 22-106 of the Code of Ordinances states the following : All traffic schedules of the City indicating through, stop and yield signs, one-way streets and speed limits shall be on file in the City Clerk's office and/or listed in the following schedule. Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019- Page 2 Schedule A - lists the traffic signage. The following will be added to the sign list: • Highland Estates Phase I & II and Dawson Ranch Phase V - 30 mph speed limit signs • Southwood Hills Phase I & II signage • Liberty Valley Phase IV signage • Garden Heights - N Beal & E 22nd stop signs • E Central Ave & East Street stop signs • Sparta Road between N Loop 121 & Legacy Lane signage from Sparta Road Project Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing. Julia Ruiz, 602 Sundown Drive, said she is in favor of these changes. She loves the roundabout and the stop signs at Central Avenue and East Street. Seeing no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Grayson closed the public hearing. Councilmember Pearson asked about the last paragraph of Part 1 in the Ordinance stating that it seems like something Staff copied and used from another ordinance. Mrs. Points explained that she intentionally put that paragraph in the ordinance so that future changes to list will have a standard format to follow. Upon a motion by Councilmember Holmes, and a second by Councilmember Pearson, Item #4, including the following captioned ordinance, was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0. ORDINANCE NO. 2019-33 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 22, ARTICLE VI, SECTION 22 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, AMENDING SCHEDULE A REGARDING TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS IN CITY STREETS; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 5. Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Kasberg, Patrick & Associates Engineers for preliminary engineering services for the East 6th Avenue Beautification Proiect. Director of Public Works Angellia Points said the purpose of the East 6th Avenue Beautification project is to enhance East 6th Avenue as a gateway into Belton similar to Central Avenue. The project is identified in the Strategic Plan and funding is available in the FY2019 TIRZ Fund budget. She added that a preliminary engineering contract was originally presented to Council in December 2017 but was Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019- Page 3 tabled due to the lack of a clear scope and the potential cost of the project. However, the desire for the project continues. Mrs. Points said Staff is proposing a preliminary engineering contract that includes the following scope: • Survey for available ROW and easements. • Create typical sections and strip map to clarify the scope of the project. Include proposed sidewalks/trails, pocket parks, lighting, and landscape features. • Develop a plan to relocate dry utilities underground and to relocate water and sewer to outside of the pavement, as needed. • Determine ROW/easement needs for the project. • Develop opinions of probable costs for the utility relocations, proposed street- scape infrastructure, associated professional fees, etc. Kasberg, Patrick and Associates Engineers has proposed a cost for the preliminary engineering services of $77,900. Mrs. Points said Staff will discuss the project scope and estimated construction cost with the Council following the preliminary engineering. Additionally, Staff will begin working on ROW/easement acquisition at that time as well. Councilmember Holmes asked if this is a FY2019 budgeted expenditure. Interim Director of Finance Susan Allamon replied that it is identified in the FY2019 TIRZ Capital Projects List. Mayor Pro Tern Carpenter asked what the timeline is for completion . KPA Engineers representative John Simcik estimated that it will take approximately 6 months to complete the preliminary engineering . Mayor Grayson asked if 6th Avenue is a TxDOT roadway. City Manager Sam Listi replied, "Yes, it is FM 93 ." Mrs. Grayson asked if TxDOT is responsible for obtaining easements. Mrs. Points replied that TxDOT generally has a 70-foot ROW in the area. Mr. Listi added that the City will be required to coordinate the project with TxDOT. Councilmember Pearson said when the City began the Central Avenue beautification project, the City had to take ownership of Central Avenue. Mr. Listi said, "That's because we wanted to do it according to our design concept rather than theirs." He added that as a part of this study, a determination will be made whether or not the City will ask TxDOT to convey the 6th Avenue property to the City. Mr. Listi said that this is truly an investigatory process to determine what exists and what the City ultimately wants to do in that area . · Upon a motion by Councilmember Pearson and a second by Mayor Pro Tern Carpenter, Item 5 was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0. 6. Consider ordinances amending the Code of Ordinances to include standards for mobile food vendors, including: Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019- Page 4 A. Chapter 11 - Licenses and Business Regulations B. Chapter 6 - Fire Code Director of Planning Cheryl Maxwell presented amendments to the Code of Ordinances regulating mobile food vendors as shown in Exhibit "A. " Councilmember Holmes asked if temporary mobile food vendors are required to provide restrooms or seating . Mrs. Maxwell said mobile food vendors are only required to provide restrooms and seating if they are located in a mobile food vendor park. Mayor Pro Tern Carpenter thanked Mrs. Maxwell for her work on this item, stating "I think this is a great start. Hopefully we will attract some more food trucks in the near future. " Upon a motion by Mayor Pro Tern Carpenter, and a second by Councilmember Pearson , Item #6, including the following captioned ordinances , was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0. ORDINANCE 2019-27 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEL TON, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING CHAPTER 11, ARTICLE VIII, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF DEALING WITH "LICENSES AND BUSINESS REGULATIONS;" PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN OPEN MEETINGS CLAUSE. ORDINANCE NO. 2019-28 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 6, ARTICLE II OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES DEALING WITH _ THE FIRE CODE; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN OPEN MEETINGS CLAUSE. FY 2020 Budget 7. Conduct a workshop for the following: A. Drainage Fund Operations Director of Public Works Angellia Points reviewed the Drainage Fund Operations as shown in Exhibit "B." Councilmember Pearson asked if the projects identified in the CTCOG study on the Nolan Creek basin include taking out the low water crossing at Shirttail Bend . Mrs. Points said that it did not. She explained that hydraulically, it passes the Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019 - Page 5 flow. The problem is caused by a buildup of brush which increases the flooding . She added Staff concurs that the low water crossing needs to go. Councilmember Pearson asked if the City has any recourse against the Contractor and/or the Engineer for the problems with the Liberty Hill drainage. Mr. Listi said it has been ten years since the subdivision plat was originally approved , so he is not sure what is legally possible and practical. He said now the approval process includes a double review by Staff and by KPA Engineers to help prevent the issues from occurring in other subdivisions. He added that KPA did an analysis of the drainage basin in this area, which included discussion with the original engineer, but Mr. Listi feels that too much time has passed for recourse. Mayor Pro Tern Carpenter said he is in favor of a 50-cent increase in the drainage fee in order to support the Drainage Department with some of the needed future projects. He said last year the thought was to increase from $4.50 to $5.00 during this year's budget, which will still put Belton approximately $1 .50 below neighboring cities. Mayor Grayson said that the $32,500 revenue a 50-cent increase would generate isn't even "a drop in the bucket" considering the estimated costs of the needed drainage projects. She added that funding will need to come from other sources for the larger projects. Mr. Carpenter said , "It's not a big help, but it's a start. If we don't get started then we are that much further behind next year." Councilmember Holmes said if the City isn't ready to spend the funds , he is not in favor of collecting the additional fee. He also expressed his interest in finding a different project for the City's match on the Central Avenue Bridge Replacement Project since the Mesquite Road project is so costly. Councilmember Pearson said he would be in favor of an increase in the Drainage Fee in order to help save money for funding some of the larger drainage projects in the future . City Manager Listi said he recognizes that the Mesquite Road project is a large project, and Staff will recommend the highest priority project at the time the City is ready to fund a project. He added that the Mesquite Road project has been identified to TxDOT as the matching project for the Central Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. No action was required of the Council on this item. B. Water and Sewer Fund Operations Director of Public Works Angellia Points reviewed the Water and Sewer Operations as shown in Exhibit "C." Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019 - Page 6 Mrs. Points said the City installed a Grinder Station at the downtown Bell County jail. Mayor Grayson responded , "Another one?" Mrs. Points explained that the original one was removed, and the City replaced it. Mr. Listi said that it was removed about three years ago for unknown reasons. Mrs. Grayson asked if the County paid for the replacement. Mr. Listi said, "No, we paid for this one. The previous one was paid for by the County, but was very difficult to maintain, and we had problems with the outflow from the jail." Councilmember Pearson asked the cost. Mr. Listi said he believed it cost $35,000. Councilmember Holmes asked if the City receives a lot of calls for sewer backups. Mrs. Points said the s·ewer backups have significantly decreased with the introduction of the City's Fats, Oils and Grease Program. Mayor Pro Tem Carpenter asked when the Old Waco Sewer Line project will be completed . Mrs. Points said it will begin in August and should be completed in 6- 8 months. The Contractor is McLean Construction. Mayor Grayson applauded Mrs. Points and her Staff on everything they accomplished throughout the year. Mr. Listi concurred in this well-deserved recognition of the Public Works Department. No action was required of the Council on this item. 8. Discuss Council Priorities in the development of the FY2020-FY2024 Strategic Plan. City Manager Sam Listi said that in May 2019 Council was asked to identify their priorities for management to begin the annual update to the Strategic Plan. He reminded Council that the Strategic Plan is divided into six (6) Goal categories: • Governance • Public Safety • Quality of Life • Economic Development • Connectivity • Parks/Natural Beauty Mr. Listi summarized goals that were identified that are not currently addressed in the FY2019-2023 Strategic Plan, including: • Customer Service • Board Member Training/Communication • Citizen Engagement • Growth Plan Review (2019 Legislature) • Internal Development and Infrastructure Focus • Charter Review (shown in FY2023) Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019 - Page 7 Short Term Goals identified by the Council as priorities for the FY2020-2024 Strategic Plan in addition to those identified previously include: • Fire Department: o Central Fire Station o EMS Provision o Operations o Staffing • City Employee Compensation • Customer Service • Citizen Engagement • Board Member Training/Council Engagement • Review Development Standards for Transparency/2019 Legislature • Internal Infrastructure Focus: o Capital Equipment Replacement o Water/Sewer o Drainage o Parks (Heritage/Standpipe Park) o Street Maintenance o ath Avenue o Central Avenue Bridge (Yettie Polk Park) • Continue planning for: o IH-14/IH-35 Utilities o Loop 121 o FM 93 o L2LR Project Medium Term Goals identified include: • Growth Plan Review (2019 Legislature) • TIRZ Assessment for Future • Continue Partnerships with BEDC • Downtown Redevelopment o Library Enhancements o Increase Private Ownership o Central Avenue Bridge (Yettie Polk) o Sidewalks • Retail Development/Tourism • Infrastructure in vicinity of future BISD sites - Loop 121/Shanklin • Update and fund Infrastructure Plans Belton City Council Meeting July 9, 2019 - Page 8 Long Term Goals include: • Strong Towns Approach o Internal Development and Infrastructure Focus • Establish New TIRZ • BEDC Partnerships • Communication Mapping • Parking/Mobility in CBD Mr. Listi said a draft of the proposed FY2020-2024 Strategic Plan will be presented to the Council at the August 13, 2019, City Council meeting.

There being no further business, the Mayor adjourned the meeting at 6:44 p.m. Exhibit "A" Background  Currently no standards for regulating food trucks in the City limits.  Food trucks have been allowed in the City limits with a one year permit, until earlier this year--moratorium placed on new food trucks, pending development of standards.  Currently, there are three in operation. Food Trucks with Permits Los Compadres 1228 N.
