locking the rate would be one week after July 27. Mrs. Muncy stated that the impact on rates
was 5 ½% depending on the final bid. She stated that the financing could be less than $95
million and a short call could be an option for a portion of financing. Mr. Williford explained
that a decision to pay down the debt could be made. Council member Willis stated that if it

Presentation regarding CIAC’s recommendations on Impact Fees. Tom Kerr, Director of
Public Works/Utilities stated that a hearing date would be set at the June 8 Council meeting.
John Landgraf, CIAC Chair, acknowledged the members of the committee. He reported that
input was gathered from the members and stakeholders. The board based its
recommendation on making Odessa competitive. The impact fees were another tool for
Odessa to grow. John Adkins, Kimley Horn, stated that the consultant provided the analysis
for the impact fees. He provided detail on the impact fee study with regards to the service
units, calculations and comparisons for the water, wastewater infrastructure, and roadway.
The Capital Improvement Plan identified 25 years of projects for the three areas. Mr. Adkins
compared the study with Midland. Odessa had a reduction of fees. He reviewed the CIAC’s
recommendation for total impact fee. There was a recommendation to provide a two-year
grace period for previous approved final plats. He provided a comparison chart on land use
for single family residential on its calculations. Odessa would be competitive as it was below
Midland’s highest value. He explained a shopping center that the builder could recover the
value from the impact fees. If there was a submeter the cost could be recouped. Mr. Adkins
reviewed the generating revenues for projects identified from the Master Plan. The impact
fees would not conflict with Midland’s fees. He stated that the funds collected must be spent
in the same area. With three areas, it provided flexibility to use its funds. Filiberto Gonzales,
1424 Alameda, stated that the members worked hard on this recommendation. He stated,
with the City’s growing pains, it would generate funds for the needs of the community. Mr.
Adkins stated that the impact fees could be changed as many times as long that it did not
exceed maximum value. Mr. Landgraf stated that the Council could set the vote at zero and
implement later.
Discuss setting a public hearing on the adoption of impact fees. Mr. Kerr stated that a
public hearing would be set at the June 8 Council meeting for the public hearing to be on
July 13 at the Council meeting. There would be no action on the impact fees at the June 8
meeting. The parks were not eligible for the use of impact fees.
Public Works CIP update. Mr. Kerr provided an update on public works projects. He
reviewed the design and construction projects’ status that was funded from the 2019
Certificates of Obligation in the amount of $42,925,000. There was a line item for TxDOT
road participation of funds of $4 million. The funds would be to improve project standings
and time frame. The Transportation Master Plan recommendations were reviewed. Projects
were identified based out of the plan. Mr. Kerr identified those projects in design, geotech
evaluation, construction and TxDOT improvements. He displayed the maps for the projects.
He reviewed the funding planning from the maintenance fund regarding performance
conditions. Mr. Kerr identified the road classifications including the arterial, collectors and
locals and its conditions. Future roadway reconstruction needs were identified which
included: Tanglewood (42nd to 52nd St) at $1.8 million; 52nd St (Dixie to JBS) at $20 million;
University (Grandview to Loop 338) at $7.4 million; Murphy (W. Loop 338 to Grandview) at
$8.8 million; Eastridge (E. Loop 338 to Faudree) at $5.5 million; Billy Hext at $2.1 million and
Yukon at $22 million which would expand to a five-lane.
Consider rejecting bids for the install of a new concession/restroom building at Floyd
Gwin. Steve Patton, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that four bids were received for
the concession/restroom building for Floyd Gwin Park. The bids were over budget. He
recommended to reject the bids as the plans would be reworked for a single-story building.
He reported that the cost of materials were high.
Consider resolution to accept and appropriate funds to OPD from Bustin for Badges.
Mike Gerke, Police Chief, recommended to accept $105,000 from the Bustin for Badges

Consider changes to modify Section 12-2-7 (School Zones) of City Code of Ordinance.
Hal Feldman, Traffic Engineer, stated that City Management Services, the private crossing
guard company, requested a list of school zones and crossing guard changes. Traffic
Engineering evaluated the requests. He reviewed the following proposed changes: Clover &
52nd - propose to remove the existing school zone and crossing guard; Reagan (in front of
school) - propose to install a new school zone on 21 st; Grandview & 21st - propose to
remove existing school zone; Dixie & 13th - propose to remove the existing school zone and

Consider ordinance for temporary speed limit for TxDOT construction project. Mr.

Consider resolution supporting application to TxDOT’s 2021 Transportation
Alternatives call for projects. Mr. Feldman stated that Traffic Engineering submitted a
project for the Faudree Road Sidewalk project. It involved building a sidewalk on Faudree
Road for the Parks Senior Living community to walk to the retail area from Eastridge. The
application was accepted, and it required a resolution of support for the project. The project
was a reimbursement project. The City would pay the cost of $331,0000 and be reimbursed
minus the 20% required match of $66,200. Mr. Marrero stated that the funds may be used
from the maintenance fund.
Discuss Boards and Commissions. Mrs. Grimaldo provided a boards and commissions
chart that identified the boards that Council served and the type of board. With the six pick
cities, most of its Council did not serve and if they served it was in the capacity of liaison or
ex-officio. She stated that it was Council’s discretion to consider discussing a policy on
Council serving on boards whether its voting, liaison, or ex-officio. Ms. Brooks passed out
the State statute on Chapter 171 and Chapter 176 for conflict of interest. She stated that
avoiding the conflict of interest was to not serve on boards. She stated that abstentions,
moving forward, would fall under Chapter 171 and 176. She stated that the Council could
abstain based on public perception. She suggested that Council could serve on boards or
committees as a liaison. She suggested that reporting on boards should be made to the City
Council. Ms. Brooks stated serving as an elected official should not conflict as a board
member. Council member Willis requested that any research requested be sent to all on the
Council. Ms. Brooks stated that the composition of the boards could be reviewed. Mayor
Joven stated that the Design Committee’s purpose was redundant. Mr. Marrero stated that
the Design Committee could be eliminated and have staff review for final Council approval.
Some board needed a Council member vote on boards such as the MPO. Ms. Brooks
stated that some boards, such as MPO and MOTRAN, required elected representatives with
their vote. Mayor Joven supported a policy to implement as City Council serving as liaison

except for those boards that required elected officials. Ms. Brooks stated that advisory
committees were only advisory in nature and not a conflict. The Firemen’s Pension board
was a separate board. Council member White stated to keep it simple and agreed to non-
voting. Council member Sprawls would like to see if the six pick cities have a policy on
conflict of interest. Research will be done and sent to Council.

Consider a resolution supporting the application to TxDOT's 2021 Transportation Alternatives call for
projects. (Resolution)
SUMMARY
Traffic Engineering has submitted a project to the TxDOT call - the Faudree Road Sidewalk project. This
involves building a sidewalk on Faudree Road between The Parks Senior Living community south to
Eastridge Road, so that residents can walk to the commercial/retail businesses in the area.
This TxDOT process involves a two-step application process. The Preliminary Application was submitted
in February 2021. TxDOT notified the City to proceed to the Detailed Application stage. This step of the
process requires a resolution of support from the City acknowledging the required funding for the project.
This Transportation Alternatives Program is a reimbursement program, meaning the City will have to
provide the entire cost of the project and then be reimbursed its costs, minus the 20% required Local
match, at the completion of the project. The estimated construction cost of the project is $331,000. The
20% Local match works out to $66,200 - the final cost to the City.
The project selection and/or award will likely happen during the next fiscal year.
