delivered by July 31, 2021. There were low responses in rural areas with no contact for

focus on concentrating on high risk for young children. There was social media posts. She
had two successful radio virtual programs for the census. The two programs provided good
results. The focus for the count will be on schools as literature was provided in meal boxes.
There was also a focus on the food bank and senior citizens centers. The Census was
committing the necessary resource to get the numbers in the low response areas. Different
methods would be used to reach out as the deadline was October 31. Mr. Marrero stated

REQUEST: Original Zoning of Light Industrial (LI)
PROPERTY INVOLVED: approximately 38 ac. tract in Section 45, Block 42, T-1-S,
T&P Ry. Co. Survey, Ector Co., Texas (southwest of the
intersection of Golder Ave. and Oregon St.)
The property involved in this request is located southwest of the intersection of Golder Ave. and
Oregon St. The site is currently designated Future Development (FD) and is vacant. Land uses
in the area consists of industrial development to the north, residential development to the east
and vacant land to the west and south.

on the site.
Using the City’s identified priorities contained in the City of Odessa’s Comprehensive Plan to
evaluate zoning amendments the following comments are offered:
Comprehensiveness: The proposed original zoning is not contrary to the established land uses
in the general area or the land use plan of the City of Odessa’s Master Plan.
Livability: The proposed original zoning would not have a negative impact on this site or
surrounding properties. The existing development and proposed future development in the area
will be similar industrial type uses.
Reasonableness: The proposed zoning district would be consistent with surrounding zoning
districts in the area, and the existing development is an allowed use in this zoning district.
Based upon the preceding analysis, Staff recommends approval of the request.

Real Time Intelligence Center - Proposal to Council.docx
Goal
To provide a state of the art, Real‐Time Intelligence
Center (RTIC) which will position the Odessa Police Department for the ongoing growth of the City and
immerging technology that effectively equips law enforcement to respond safely, quickly, and effectively
to crimes that occur throughout our jurisdiction and even as a regional resource for West Texas. The
Odessa Police Department will take an immense leap forward in our ability to effectively deter and
apprehend crime and take a proactive approach away from being a reactive agency that’s frequently
limited by low staffing and a per capita violent crime rate that mirrors large metropolitan areas. This
center will provide the City of Odessa with a true foundation for an Intelligence driven model of police
work. It was abundantly clear that on August 31st, 2019, as a Police Department, we could have better
exploited technology to effectively respond, manage, and efficiently investigate a major incident with
numerous law enforcement agencies.
Moreover, as we encounter on going critical incidents and disasters, the ability to have a central location
for our city as a whole is absolutely imperative. Whether that be a pipeline or plant explosion, or major
flooding, maintaining a central location that all city departments can come together at to provide a
unified leadership and decision making group will ultimately allow for a safer and more productive local
government for our citizens. Activu provides the foundation to integrate its technology to multiple users
throughout not only the Police Department, but should the city desire, multiple locations in the city (i.e.,
Public Safety Communications, City Hall, etc.). What is displayed in the system is solely limited by the
imagination of the users. The RTIC is specifically designed with growth in mind so that it’s a focal point of
modern policing in the Permian Basin for decades to come.
The secondary goal of the design and planned phases of development, is so that the RTIC can serve as an
Emergency Command Center and maintains the needed room for rapid and emergent ability to stand up
the necessary infrastructure to support multi agency responses to major incidents on a short notice.
Simply put, the ultimate goal for the implementation of a Real Time Intelligence Center is to improve the
quality of life for the citizens of Odessa. We strive everyday so that those who live, work, and visit the
City of Odessa, feel safe and recognize, that Odessa is The Right Place in Texas to call home.
Scope
The initial phase of this program will provide the Odessa Police Department with an Intelligence Center
and an Emergency Command Center. With efficiency in mind, these two stations will provide the
Intelligence Division with a space to ingest information from the streets of Odessa and disseminate the
information to those who need it. From the command standpoint, this program will provide real‐time
mission critical information so that decisions may be made effectively and efficiently.
Furthermore, by preparing this space, our agency will be better fitted for a unified command structure
for large scale incidents and events. This is an essential need so that those decision making individuals
can have all sources of information available to them in one location and enables them to rapidly
disseminate information to personnel.
The RTIC will be in use each and every day and the return on the investment will be seen on a regular
basis. This will not be a project that funds are allocated for and it’s only utilized on a handful of events
throughout the year. The RTIC would be available to immediately assist and serve as a resource for city
events such as; Firecracker Fandango on July 4th, on‐going Downtown Odessa Events (which continue to
grow in size each year), Major City and UTPB sporting events, and the Permian Basin Oil Show, the
possibilities are endless
Project Phases
The first phase of the project will accomplish the following:
A functioning Real Time Crime Center with a video wall and all associated
software within the Intelligence Center.
o Organized center of all information dissemination;
o Provides a foundation for future phases (live surveillance feeds, active
monitoring of hot spots, etc.);
o Audio integration for monitoring of real time priority calls for service.
Active screens in the Command Center ‐ Technology update and integration
o Provides a “show‐and‐tell" for the command that can be altered, based
on command need, within the Intelligence Center.
o Additional space to accommodate large scale events and the associated
staff and equipment.
