CITY OF ODESSA, TEXAS
May 18, 2021
On May 18, 2021, a work session meeting of the Odessa City Council was held at 3:00 p.m.,
Odessa, Texas. Due to the COVID-19, the meeting was teleconferenced, as allowed by the
Governor’s executive order. City Council was present through teleconference.

Steven P. Thompson, District Two; Detra White, District Three; Tom Sprawls, District Four;
Mari Willis, District Five; and Denise Swanner, At-Large.
Others present: Michael Marrero, City Manager; Norma Aguilar-Grimaldo, City Secretary;
Natasha Brooks, City Attorney; Cindy Muncy, Assistant City Manager; Phillip Urrutia,
Assistant City Manager; and other members of City staff.
A quorum being present, Mayor Joven called the meeting to order, and the following
proceedings were held:
Council member Sprawls gave the invocation.
Police Department Crime Statistics. Mike Gerke, Police Chief, reported crime statistics for
2019 through April 2020. There was no change with the murder statistics but the rape,
robberies were down. There was a property increase in burglary. He reported a five-year
comparison on Part I Crimes. In 2020, the crimes had lowered. The crimes were related to
the populations inside the city limits. The population was higher than represented. Chief
Gerke reviewed the violent crime rates and property rates five-year history. He explained the
rape category which included child molestations, family issues and date rape. The sexual
assaults were in the rape category. Chief Gerke stated that the police focused on the violent
crime as it caused the most social harm. There were procedural changes in reports with the
patrol officers following up.
Animal Shelter construction contract award. Chief Gerke recommended the contract
award be to Onyx Contractors to construct the Animal Shelter for $8,308,472. The cost was
underbudget. The animal shelter’s problems included concrete issues, inadequate sewer line
slope, chain link issues, evaporative cooling, shared ventilation issues, and no fire
suppression. The proposed shelter would be a modern facility that included a vet clinic. The
new shelter would include dog rooms, cat rooms, playrooms and a secured sallyport. There
would be a partial tear down of the current facility once the new shelter was constructed.
The cost included the construction and the bulk of the equipment for the facility. He provided
the capacity for animals in the new shelter. In the future, one or two staff additional
personnel would be needed. There was no interest for a vet staff to be onsite. Chief Gerke
stated that citizens requested a different philosophy from an euthanized shelter to a live
release shelter. The new shelter provided the capabilities of 100% live release rate. He
reported that the loose animals caused population growth, and many were not vaccinated
which could spread diseases to domesticated animals.
Mayor Joven asked if the unspent funds could be redirected. Mr. Marrero stated that the
uncommitted funds could be reprogrammed under the intent from the issuance of the debt
which included infrastructure. Mrs. Muncy clarified that the funds could be used for identified
categories and must fall in the criteria established in the ordinance but could be redirected to

uncommitted funds. It must stay within the capacity issued in the Certificates of Obligation
(CO). Mrs. Muncy explained the use and the spending of the 2019 CO funds. Council
member White asked that Council be cautious in finding creative financing on redirecting the
CO funds as it was borrowed for specific purposes. Council member Thompson stated that
the purpose of the COs was clear, and it was specific.
Discuss professional services agreement for outside audit services. Mrs. Muncy stated
that the audit service was based on qualifications and competence. She recommended that
the current auditor contract with Weaver be extended two more years then have a request
for proposals. She stated that there was a change in software systems and the auditor was
familiar with the transitions. She reviewed the request for proposals process. Council
member Thompson agreed. Council member White was good with staff’s recommendation.
