Rodd Huber, Assistant Fire Chief, stated that there would be two replacements of ambulances and one new ambulance. The ambulances were the hardest working vehicle as it covers all of Ector County. The cost was $1,030,308. Council member Sprawls asked if the vehicles had hour meters to show its performance. Chief Huber did not have that information. He reported that there were four ambulances out of service. Upon the recommendation of Fire Rescue and Equipment Services, the ambulances were changed from Freightliner to Ford F550. The parts were less expensive and there was a faster turnaround from the shop. Motion was made by Council member Thompson and seconded by Council member White to approve the purchase as recommended. The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye: Joven, Matta, Thompson, White, Sprawls, Willis, and Swanner Nay: None Tabled - Contract extension with Barron Service Parts Co. for on-site fleet parts management and supply.

The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye: Joven, Matta, Sprawls, and Swanner Nay: Thompson, White, and Willis Discuss and consider expanding the Odessa Development Corporation (ODC) board members from five members to seven members. Council member Sprawls presented expanding the ODC board over a year ago to the last Council. Prior to the 2018 election, each Council member had a representative on the ODC board. There was no reason not to have each Council member have a representative. Mayor Joven explained that the premise of the ODC reflected the voting council members and provided accountability. Most boards reflected the Council. He reported that the Council took action to expand the board from five to seven members but was later told that it was not allowed to expand. Council member Matta stated that the January 8, 2020 reflected that the board was expanded. Ms. Brooks stated that at that time, Council was directed that the board could not expand which was incorrect. The current ODC bylaws reflect that each council member appointed a representative. Ms. Brooks stated that the Council was incorrectly informed. Council member Thompson stated that with more people on the board it was harder to gather a quorum. He stated that Mayor serving as ex-officio was adequate. The five member ODC Council Minutes February 23, 2021 Page 4 board was a good decision-making board with good working relationships. Council member Willis was not opposed to adding two members but to be cautious to follow the guidelines, follow through with the projects, and be mindful that all boards were not equal. Mayor Joven supported that the ODC board mirror the City Council. The recommendation to appoint the Compliance Committee members to the ODD board did not adhere to the elected officials. The ODC board appointed the Compliance Committee members. There needed to be accountability and representation that reflected the Council. Council member Willis stated that there were different skills, knowledge needed to make the board diverse. Council member Thompson supported that the new ODC members be on Compliance Committee and moved into the ODC board. Mayor Joven disagreed as it took away the appointment from the Council. He stated that the ODC members serve at the pleasure of the City Council and the accountability sits with the Council. The Council recognized that the appointees must have a skill set to serve on the ODC board. Council member White endorsed the ODC board as it had great members serving. Mayor Joven stated that there were no issues or concerns with the ODC board as it was procedural. Council member Matta stated that ODC does a great job and applauded its efforts. Tim Edgmon, ODC President, stated that ODC members that served on Compliance Committee provided a smooth transition with a lesser learning curve. Melanie Hollmann, ODC board member, stated that the board majority served on the Compliance Committee. As former Compliance Committee members, the process was understood, and it worked well. Gene Collins, ODC board member, encouraged that the new board members attend the TML training and workshops on economic development with the ever changes in the statutes. Motion was made by Council member Matta and seconded by Council member Sprawls to expand the ODC board from five members to seven members. The board would be reflective of the City Council by having ODC members represented by the Mayor and each Council member. The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye: Joven, Matta, Sprawls, Willis, and Swanner Nay: Thompson and White MISCELLANEOUS To consider, discuss and take any necessary action regarding any and all issues related to COVID-19. Chief Huber reported that the vaccinations would be given Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday or until they run out. The booster would be provided at Ratliff Stadium with the City assisting the first week of March. Over 15,700 people have been vaccinated. He reported that the COVID testing by the State would be extended though March and possibly April. The Floyd Gwin site has been very successful. Council member Willis thanked the City staff for stepping up and providing professional service. Appointment of Boards. Discussion was held on the Council appointment of boards. Mrs. Grimaldo will resend the citizens’ applications from the boards that the terms expired. The Council will consider at the next meeting. Motion was made by Council member Thompson and seconded by Council member Matta to appoint the following: Paul Weaver reappointed to Board of Survey; Lonnie Lawrence reappointed to Downtown Odessa; Kris Crow appointed to the Odessa Development Corporation; Council Minutes February 23, 2021 Page 5 Melanie Hollmann reappointed to the Odessa Development Corporation; Blas Campos Jr. reappointed to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; Casey Hallmark reappointed to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; Gary Sims reappointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission; Mark Matta appointed to the Tax Incentive Committee; Craig Stoker reappointed to the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone; Rodney Hurt reappointed to the Traffic Advisory Committee; Brooke Harper reappointed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment; and Anthony Rios reappointed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Tom Kerr, Director of Public Works/Utilities, reported that Kimley Horn conducted an Impact Fee Study, and the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee was working on the study. He reviewed the study findings, and it was Council’s discretion of implementation. Jeff Whitacre, Kimley Horn, stated that there was an infrastructure need with the increase of growth. The stakeholders were the City Council, Advisory Committee, and the general public. The study was for potential adoption of impact fees. He reviewed the adoption process. The committee was halfway through the impact fee process that included planning, analysis, and policy steps. The committee approved the land use assumptions. He stated that the land use assumptions were based on a ten-year growth assumption. There was a projected growth rate 1.3% in the city. The water service, wastewater service, and the roadway service areas were assessed. He provided the history on the assumptions and the funding for the infrastructure. Mr. Whitacre explained the impact fees which was to recoup the cost of facility expansions to new development. He identified the benefits. The funding mechanisms included General Fund, bonds, water sewer rates, and impact fees. The impact fees allowed for Texas were roadway, water, wastewater, and drainage. Chapter 395 allowed a collected flexible fee for infrastructure. The benefits for the developers included that the fee was known and equitable, predictable, and ensured accountability to spend on the project. He reviewed the allowable items to be paid with the impact fees that included the cost of the construction, survey, and engineering fees. Mr. Whitacre explained the allowable uses for the impact fees. He reviewed the required schedule to implement the impact fees. He explained how the boundaries were established from the code requirements and the assistance from staff based on growth patterns. Most cities have impact fee requirements in Texas. John Landgraf, committee member, reported that the committee was discussing ways to fund the projects and impact fees was another tool. The committee would meet with the developers for feedback on the impact fees. The fee amount has not been discussed. Lines P and Q could be projects that can use impact fees.

Ellen Noel Art Museum I Renovation & Expansion Project As the Museum's current facility is 35 years old, several challenges exist. These challenges were identified during a feasibility study conducted in 2018. It was determined that upgrades of the current system and a moderate expansion of the facility are necessary to ensure the Museum continues to serve our community into the future. Challenges Maintaining Industry Standards: A key factor in ENAM retention of AAM accreditation and Smithsonian Affiliation is meeting industry standards in terms of mechanical systems. The building's mechanical systems have served the Museum well and many are original to the initial construction 35 years ago. The following systems have reached the end of their lifecycle and require replacement: . Environmental control system (HVAC) to meet humidity and temperature criteria. A more efficient system will also result in cost savings. . The current security system is original to the building and is an analog platform. A new digital system is required to meet current industry standards. . Replacement elements for the Museum's lighting system are no longer commercially available. A new LED lighting system will be more cost effective and meet industry standards. . Upgrade of the IT Infrastructure is necessary to support new mechanical systems, business and programming applications presented in the Museum. . Re-configuring space usage in collections will allow for a designated temporary hold for quarantine and acclimatization purposes. It will also provide much needed audio/visual storage. . Investment in an appropriate fire suppression system is integral to securing the loan of significant artwork and exhibitions. Why is this important? AAM Accreditation and Smithsonian Affiliate designation signifies to lenders and donors that the Ellen Nodl Art Museum operates at the caliber of a national museum service such as the National Gallery, MOMA, or any other first tier museum. The only major differences between these cultural organizations and ENAM is size and location. These designations attest that while ENAM may be small, it is also mighty. This gives confidence to potential lenders and donors. However, like all standards in any industry, as technology advances so do expectations. There is an expectation that certain systems be upgraded regularly and that new criteria addressed. For example, when ENAM was built almost 35 years ago, fire suppression was not an industry expectation. It is in today's environment. The lack of a fire suppression system has already impeded the Museum's ability to borrow artwork and present major exhibitions (Warhol, Rembrandt). The Ellen Nodl Art Museum is committed to bringing the highest level of programming to our community. It's ability to do so starts with its infrastructure. Barriers to Entry: When the Museum was designed almost 35 years ago, museums were perceived as stewards that safeguard our cultural legacy. Today, museums are gathering places for social and educational interaction. The Museum's solid brick faqade and hidden entrance ways are psychological and physical barriers to entry. There is constant confusion as to where to enter the Museum. Limited Capacity Deters Growth: Currently, the Museum does not have a dedicated event space or multi-media space thereby impeding the following: . Scale and scope of programming . Ability to serve expanding community . Ability to support other cultural organizations and corporate needs . Hinders collaboration Restricts Diversifying Earned Revenue. Sustainability: additional event space for rentals would contribute to the museum's sustainability -t PROJECT SNAPSHOT: Build a Little I Achieve A Lot lnvest I . New Museum Footprint: 35,689 sq. ft. . Area Added: 13,808 sq. ft. . Gallery Space: 9,700 sq. ft. . Multi-purpose Gallery I Theater: 2,000 sq. ft. . Event Space: 4,700 sq. ft. . Classrooms: 2 . Eliminate barriers to entry by establishing a single delineated entrance and by creating a glass fagade. . Bring the outside in by connecting people spaces with the Museum's Sensory Garden. . The consolidated 9,700 sq. ft. gallery space combined with 4,700 event space provides a maximum exhibition space of 14,000 sq. ft. . Multi-purpose New Media Gallery I Theater with 100 seat capacity . Configurable Multi-purposed Event Space (4,700 sq. ft): table seating capacity of up to 500 can be divided into one larger (2,700 sq. ft.) and two smaller (1,000 sq. ft) meeting rooms that serve double duty as classrooms. . The concentration of collections and exhibition activity to the west-end of the building, reduces the square footage that must be cooled and humidified to meet AAM standards resulting in increased efficiencies. Zoning also addresses storage problems. . Dedicated event space and proper kitchen facilities create an earned revenue opportunity for the Museum.

As the arts are a valuable tool for creating strong communities, the programs offered improve overall achievement for adults and children, create strong social networks, bring together diverse groups of people, foster a sense of community and build relationships. a Last year the Museum served nearly 35,000 people through art exhibits, opening receptions, classes, tours, lectures, movies, and free community events. a Continuing its mission of connecting people with art, the Museum partners with other organizations to develop and host additional community involvement projects. These partners include several area organizations like Ector County lSD, UTPB, Boys and Girls Club of Odessa, Ector and Midland County Libraries, United Way of Odessa, Texas Division of Blind Services, West Texas Food Bank and Basin PBS. Together we increase awareness and emphasize the importance of arts and culture, community service, and education and literacy. ECISD I The limitation of resources within the Ector County lndependent School District's (ECISD) often results in the complete elimination of fine arts from the classroom in our elementary schools. Growing up with limited access to art instruction and art education deprives students of a unique cultural experience as well as a valuable learning opportunity. According to several studies, exposure to the arts not only helps in the development of critical thinking skills it can also affect other areas of study such as math, science, and social studies. ENAM addresses this need by offering free admission and tours, low cost tuition for classes, and scholarship opportunities for children who are economically disadvantaged. As a non-profit organization, ENAM relies on support from memberships, local foundations, businesses, and donors which help us to fill the void of art education in the lives of thousands of children, teens, and adults. Art classes and field trips can provide students with "a window into a broader world filled with different people and ideas." (Natalie Wexler, Forbes Magazine article, February 28,z}tg) ART 2 GO I This is a comprehensive program that takes place during the school year throughout ECISD elementary schools. Participating schools have weekly visits to their second-grade classes where they learn about an artist, heara story relating to them and experience a hands-on studio activity. This program combines literacy, visual literacy and art education and is based on the Grade 2 curriculum. Currently, Art 2 Go is in every ECISD elementary school in Odessa that wishes to participate. Art 2 Go is also adapted and delivered throughout the summer, including 3 days per week at the 4 locations in Odessa, First 5 - Kindercamps, and High Sky Ranch. FINE ARTS CONNECTION I As most ECISD elementary schools no longer offer art classes, this 3O-year collaboration helps educators to meet the K-12 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards for art. This along with Art 2 Go are the Museum's largest educational programs and allows thousands of third grade students to tour the galleries and participate in hands on activities. This program is also made available to private schools and all schools in communities in the Permian Basin.
