Council thanked the committee for their work. Mark Brown stated we just need to make sure we are consistent with the language. Benny Howard asked if cats would have free walk. Lynsey Ellison stated if someone has a complaint of nuisance animal it includes cats. Mark Brown stated any animal falls under the nuisance animal. Frank Mancuso asked if someone is allowed to keep cattle in a trailer. Mayor Guthrie stated that would definitely be a nuisance. Michael Coon asked if the committee included the requirement for all dogs and cats to be chipped. Lynsey Ellison stated there is no way to enforce the chipping without incurring additional expense on city, so the committee felt it best to leave it out. Lauren LaCount stated they could always add the requirement for two reasons: could possibly be anyone that’s asking for a variance of number of animals or someone who has frequent at large vaccinations. Mark Brown asked about dogs that have puppies. Lauren LaCount stated that dogs older than 6 months must be registered with the city. Mr. Howard asked about looking into feral cats. Council member LaCount stated the committee discussed going with the option that the Clute just recently adopted which was the trap, neuter and spayed, then release. Ms. Ellison stated the committee talked about it but stated it could be done at a later date. Mr. Coon stated a trap spayed neuter release program would require substantial investment from the city to pay for spay or neuter. Mike Firkens asked why the proposed changes are only specifying hens. Ms. Ellison stated it is to prohibit rosters or other fowl. Mayor Guthrie closed the public hearing at 8:01 pm. Appoint Flood Advisory Committee liaison Michael Coon summarized Mark Brown’s interest in becoming committee liaison. On motion by Lauren LaCount second by Sarah Reed with all present members Voting “aye’ Mark Brown was appointed as liaison. Update from Flood & Drainage Advisory Committee and consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with LJ Engineering not to exceed $24,700. Pat Wade, 1010 Mockingbird Lane, stated the committee is looking at three points of attack: one immediate course and two long-term. Benny Howard, 314 N Yaupon, stated the committee met last week and listened to an in depth program from LJA Engineering regarding the Bastrop Bayou for temporary solutions for flood mitigation. John Grounds, LJA Engineering, gave a presentation. He stated one long-term solution would be a study of the Bastrop Bayou at Brazosport Boulevard to ensure water is able to pass. With an immediate course being, can you put pumps there to pump from one side to the other. Another long-term solution would be a Gladys Polk Elementary area relief channel that drains to big slough. Mr. Grounds also reported that LJA has been involved with Lake Jackson, Brazoria County and the airport in correcting the FEMA flood rate maps. The area suffers from coastal flooding – water coming from the gulf. This will not be looked at. Other areas of flooding include rain water and flooding form rivers and streams. They will be looking at these and will also provide some GIS mapping. Pat Wade stated they will provide a quantitative amount of what these options will cost and gets us past the concept into something workable. Mark Brown stated last year he saw no water. This year he saw water and decided he needs to get involved. Immediately solutions are necessary. Mr. Howard stated before the city can do anything, the study has to be done. Cost is more than anticipated but less than what it could have been. The committee urges council to approve this budget to show the residents that the city is doing something. On motion by Lauren LaCount second by Chris Hardison with all present members voting “aye” approval was granted to the City Manager to enter into an agreement with LJA Engineering for a study on immediate and long term solutions of flood mitigation in an amount not to exceed $24,700.00. Council member LaCount asked if we were going to reach out to surrounding agencies to ask for pitching in. Mr. Coon stated the City of Richwood is currently getting the added benefit of piggy backing off of the County and Lake Jackson’s studies of Bayou and those agencies have not asked Richwood for any monies. This is saving the city a lot of money. Review of gun range and noise ordinances Michael Coon gave a presentation of comparison of noise ordinances. Recommendation is to remove the decibel from the gun range ordinance and to allow the noise ordinance to address the noise levels. Council member Brown asked about hours of operation Mr. Firkens stated they are open from 10a -8p on weekdays, 9a – 9p on Saturday and 12:30p – 7p on Sunday. Michael Coon stated he was not sure how the 50 caliber firearm sounded. Mr. Firkens stated he believed the decibel levels are low. In defense of the gun range, they are willing to set time limits on when they allow 50 caliber guns to be fired. Council member Brown stated it’s only fair for all businesses to have the same standard. Mr. Firkens stated there are other sounds that emit more noise than the gun range. Council member LaCount asked what other studies were done. Mr. Coon stated, for example, a diesel truck leaving the gas station made more noise above 60 decibels. Mike Firkens, read a letter from Mr. Kinear owner of Big Kountry Shooter Gun Range. Nancee Smith, 101 Austins Ct, neighbor of the gun range, read the current noise ordinance. Daryl Wilson, 109 Brazos CT, stated he is retired to Richwood three years ago, thoroughly enjoyed it. There have been a couple hiccups, one is the flooding. The other is the gun range. He is a gun supporter and was excited for the gun range. The last part of the current ordinance is what really hits him. It states a continued noise and that is what they hear. It’s not one reading whatever the decibel point will be. It’s a constant noise. No complaints that he knows of in regards to traffic but that’s because it’s occasional. It’s the constant repetitive nature of the bang that causes such a nuisance in our neighborhood. It’s unavoidable because it goes all day long. Day after day, month after month. If it was a dog that barked all day and night, someone would be calling on that. He encouraged council to think about the fact that this is not an occasional noise that you hear from road traffic and such. It is constant repetitive noise day after day. He appreciates the studies but encourages Council to revisit what the noise causes. Also consider the resale value for someone to come in and hear the pop pop pop. Glenn Patton, 102 Austin Ct, stated he supported the gun range in the beginning. He stills support the gun range. The option was then that there was a guarantee that there would be no noise outside of the range. He wishes that he could use the range but he cannot contribute to the nuisance in the neighborhood. He is a veteran that suffers from PTSD and at times it gets bad enough that he must leave his home. It’s not the pistols. It’s the larger guns. He believes the gun range causes more devalue to his home due to the noise being constant than the flooding does. He invited Council to, before taking action, come over and sit at one of the homes on a Saturday afternoon. Jason McMillan, 107 Austin’s Ct, stated he built in Richwood because there is not a lot of commercial and it is built for residents. He chose to pay a higher tax rate because of it. He disagrees with changing the rules after the fact and feels like the city is letting him down, if this is approved. Mr. Ferkins stated the gun range has met all the state laws and would like to know if the no noise was put in writing. Council member LaCount stated she asked for this to be on the agenda because she felt it was subjective to one business. While she is sensitive and empathizes with the complaints, the ordinance is subject to the interpretation of who is reading it. We have an ordinance where there is no measurable level of noise. However, when laws are written they have to be enforceable. She suggests that the noise ordinance be written to include a quantifiable amount and reduce the subjectiveness. Her suggestion is made in the effort of fairness. Council member Brown asked where the readings are being taken from. Mr. Ferkins stated readings have been taken from various locations and they have all the data. Mayor Guthrie suggested a consult with an environmental engineer to define the difference in a decibel reading and a repetitive reading. Daryl Wilson stated the difference is he did not choose to be next to the gun range. Ms. LaCount chose to be around dogs. It is an imposition on the residents. Their only choice is to sell. In the matter of fairness, this has been put in place after. Brian Corb stated Local Government Code specifically states that as long as the gun range is in compliance with the gun range laws it prohibits governments from taking any kind of action and there is a review of pending litigation. Mr. Patton stated it’s an excellent idea to have a sound engineer to come in to study the situation. It’ll avoid the he said she said. Council member Brown asked what the readings are at the homes? Mr. Patton stated from 40 to 60 decibels and that is not acceptable. Council member Brown asked does it make sense to spend money on something for that level of noise? Mr. Coon suggested to have residents come speak with City Manager and see if they can’t come to solution to present to council. Council member Hardison challenged the owner to look at other options and to get with the sound engineer that they consulted with in the initial design to see if there is anything that can be done. Mr. Ferkins asked at what level below the government requirements would be acceptable? Council member LaCount stated she doesn’t think it’s up to council to dictate how a business spends their money to appease a subjective matter. No further discussion was held. Sarah Reed left the meeting at 9:06 pm. Review and discussion of the solid waste collections contract with Waste Connections Ryan Skylar, site manager for Waste Connections based out of Angleton, was present. He stated he has met with Michael Coon and Council member Brown with certain concerns that the city had. He is open to discussing any concerns and does appreciate the cities business. Council member LaCount asked if the issues were straightened out. Mr. Coon stated that Ryan has been great at communicating and believes we are moving in a positive direction. Council member Hardison asked about the pickup schedule after holidays and how much notice is given. Mr. Skylar stated typically notice is given in advance of a month or so. There are only 2 holidays they don’t work: Christmas Day and New Year’s day. Review the Utility Fund's financial forecast and discuss potential rate increases and amendments to the FY 2018 Adopted Budget Michael Coon stated the rate increase was delayed due to Harvey. Taking into account projected revenues and reduced usage, it is projected the utility fund will come in under $314,401 of the projected revenue budget. There are things that can be cut to maintain current rates this year. We need to make sure the customers are being taken care of and as well make sure that the city is taking care of our failing utility system. In the future, we will also need to make sure we are charging appropriately for new constructions. Council member Brown asked if we can charge the impact fees now? Mr. Coon stated not without the impact fee study. Council member Brown stated so cutting will delay that. Coon stated, yes, some cuts to cover the shortage would be Sewer jetter is over 15 years old. It could last the year or could not lasts the week. Chlorine Room already has leaks it he room and cutting contingency fund. The following table shows some reductions that could be made to the adopted budget to cover the anticipated loss. Reductions to Adopted Budget Amount 2 New Personnel $99,809 New Diesel Truck $45,777 Impact Fee Study $75,000 Sewer Jetter Replacement $59,999 Chlorine Room Replacement $20,255 Transfer to Contingency Fund $13,561 Total Reductions $314,401 The table below summarizes some rate structure options and the reductions that would be included for each one. In the scenarios below, it is assumed that the rate increase would go into effect in March. However, that date is not set and new calculations can be completed for other dates.

Mr. Coon stated in the future there are still things that will need to happen. There are water problems at Oakwood Shores. Council member LaCount stated she likes option 1. Council member Brown stated we got to do something to get us out of the hole. Council member Hardison stated he believes it’s a good idea to split the impact fee study into two years. Mr. Coon stated in regards to notifying the public, it is not required and asked if council would like to have a public hearing. Council member LaCount stated all other cities raised rates without notifying. She just wants to make sure the residents get notified. Mayor Guthrie asked if we can publish something. Mr. Coon stated yes. We can publish it as public notice not public hearing. Council member LaCount stated she also would like to let the public to know that we were the only city that held off in lieu of Harvey. Council member Brown stated we just need to be clear on the notice. Council member Hardison stated we can do public hearing to get input and do action on the same agenda. Mr. Coon stated yes.

Patty Guthrie asked for clarification on the last two. Council member Brown stated he personally doesn’t see any issue with the mechanic as long as he is not being a nuisance. Mr. Coon stated the only issue would be to limit the number of cars, so residents wouldn’t have a collection of cars in the yard and driveway. Discussion was held on allowing mechanical business. This item will be brought back next month.
