YOU HAVE A QUORUM MAYOR.

MOVE TO, UH, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS.

SO KINDLY ON PROCLAMATIONS.

I DON'T HAVE ANY BEFORE ME AND THERE AREN'T ANY.

OKAY, WELL NOW I'LL

[III.A.1. Joan Jones Regarding Taxes Paid By Motiva And Other Companies And How It Is Utilized]

FIRST WE HAVE MS. JOANNE JONES REGARDING TAXES PAID BY MOTIVA AND OTHER COMPANIES AND HOW IT IS UTILIZED, BUT YOU APPROACH PLEASE, MS. JONES, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND BEGIN YOUR PRESENTATION.

YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.

GOOD MORNING, MS. JONES JONES, SIX 40 EAST STREET.

UH, UH, I'M GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE PURCHASE, THE ATTORNEY AND BUSINESS MANAGER.

AND, UH, BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU HAVE WENT OVER OVER THIS AND WHAT I WANT TO KNOW THE COMPANIES THAT'S HERE, MOTIVA AND TOTAL.

ARE THEY PAYING ANY MONEY TO THE CITY OF PORT ARTHUR? DO THEY PAY ANY MONEY TO THE CITY OF PORT ARTHUR? OKAY.

WE'LL JUST GO UP WITH YOUR PRESENTATION.

WE'LL GET YOUR NAME.

HE WASN'T PAYING ANY MONEY.

SHOULD THE CITY OF PORT ARTHUR IN REVENUES, WHATEVER REVENUE AND HOW IS IT,

[00:05:01]

WHERE IS IT? PUT IT? WHERE IS THE MONEY? PUT IT IF THEY HAVE PAY PAID ANY END IN THE LAST THREE YEARS OR EVEN BEFORE WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THAT PROCEDURE, UH, WORKING WITH THE CITY AND, AND WHATEVER.

AND THE REASON WHY I'M CONCERNED, UH, ABOUT IT IT'S BECAUSE THE REVENUE FROM THE COMPETENCIES, UH, THAT FALL DON'T KNOW, BUT HOUSES, CARS, HOUSES, CARS, AND WHATEVER, AND THEN, OKAY, THAT'S A PRETTY HEAVY EXPENSE ON THE COMMUNITY AND HOMEOWNERS.

AND THEN WE PAY TAX HERE AT THE CITY.

THEN WE PAY A PERSONAL TAX AT THE CITY.

THE PAINT CANNOT STAY, DO NOT STAY ON THE HOUSES AT ALL.

I'VE SEEN IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND SO LONG.

I WATCHED IT EVEN THE, UH, THE, UH, ROOFS ON HOUSES DO NOT REACH THE POTENTIAL OF, UH IT'S.

UM, IT'S, UH, WHAT'S THE WORD, UH, THE POTENTIAL OF IT, UH, FOR THE GUARANTEE ON IT, ON THE ROOFS AND EVERYTHING.

SO I WAS TRYING TO PRINT OF, UM, IF THEY, I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE UPKEEP OF, UM, JUST SO MUCH IS GOING ON AND THE REVENUE IT'S SO BAD AND BEEN LIKE THAT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND WHATEVER THEY PAY INTO THE CITY.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, LIKE ONE, THIS IS MY THOUGHT, NO ONE ELSE, ONE FULL AT THE BANK MONEY SHOULD BE HOLD HELD IN A REVENUE IN A REVENUE THAT WHENEVER THE STATE GO UP ON TAXES, WE COULD USE THAT, UH, THAT THOUGHT OF A REVENUE TO KEEP TAXES OUT OF THE COMMUNITY, HANDS AND OUT OF THE COMMUNITY, YOUR HANDS AND TEXTS, UH, THE HOUSES THAT WE OWN, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD, UM, LACK OF FOURTH OF WHATEVER THAT MONEY.

AND I'M, I'M HEARING THAT IT'S $3 MILLION IN WHATEVER I'M HERE.

NET IS TAX.

AND I JUST WANT TO CLEAR A VERIFICATION OF WHAT DO THEY DO.

AND THIS DEPARTMENT, UH, IN PUT OUT THE TEXAS, UH, TWAT THE UPKEEP OF THIS CITY AND WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, UH, THEY ARE A PART OF, A LOT OF, UH, DOWNFALL OF THE, OF THE COMMUNITY ITSELF.

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE AND COULD GIVE US SOME HELP, SOME HELP, SOME KIND OF WAY.

AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M COMING TO THE CITY.

AND MAYBE YOU ALL HAVE NOT REALIZED, YOU KNOW, UH, IS SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT, BUT IN THE BUDGET, IT IT'S MONEY.

UH, AND THEN I'M HEARING THAT THEY DON'T GIVE MONEY IS CONTRACTED.

YOU ARE, HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, UH, IF IT'S A CONTRACT WITH THEM AND WHAT'S TELLING ME WHAT IS IN THAT CONTRACT, BECAUSE THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT IS IN THAT CONTRACT, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU ALL MAY AGREE WITH WITH THEM.

COULD I GET SOME OUNCES, PLEASE? ARE YOU THROUGH? I THINK THAT'S IT.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR COMING BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND WHAT I'VE DONE.

I'VE LISTENED TO WHAT SHE WAS SAYING.

I TELL YOU I'VE COME UP WITH FOUR BULLET POINTS THAT I THINK, AND LET ME KNOW, AND THEN I'LL PASS THAT ON CHILD PROFESSIONALS.

I'VE COME UP WITH FOUR BULLET POINTS FROM WHAT YOU'VE SAID, AND I THINK SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED WITH THE MIC SYSTEM.

CAN YOU HEAR ME WELL? I THINK SO.

THAT I'VE COME UP WITH, AND SHE'S AGREED THAT WE CAN RESEARCH THIS AND GIVE HER ANSWERS TO THIS AT A LATER DATE.

FIRST I THINK YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TOTAL PAID BY INDUSTRY, NOT JUST MOTIVA, BUT ALL INDUSTRY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TOTAL PAY BY ALL INDUSTRY.

NEXT.

YOU WANT TO SEE IF THERE IS LEGALLY, UH, IF, IF A DEDUCTION OF PROPERTY TAXES WITH, UH, HELP OF INDUSTRIAL PAYMENTS, IF SOMETHING CAN BE WORKED OUT WHERE, WHEN, UH, AT BALLOON TAXES OR THE ACTUAL TAX AMOUNT FOR CITIZENS WITHIN THE CITY OF PORT, ARTHUR CAN BE REDUCED BECAUSE OF THEY ARE IN LIEU OF TAX PAYMENT.

UH, THE THIRD THING I THINK I'VE COME UP WITH ONCE YOU WERE SAYING THAT YOU JUST WANT TO SEE HOW THEY CAN HELP CITIZENS AND ASSIST CITIZENS WITH A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE AND FOURTHLY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE TENANTS OF THE AGREEMENT, LIKE, WHAT ARE THE ARTICLES IN THE AGREEMENT, OR WHAT ARE THOSE POINTS IN THAT PARTICULAR AGREEMENT? NOW ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGER, ARE WE PREPARED TO ANSWER THIS NOW OR WITH THESE FOUR THINGS

[00:10:01]

IF YOU WANT US TO GIVE IT AT A LATER DATE, SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE ON OUR WEBSITE AND WE CAN TELL YOU IT'S WHATEVER YOU PREFER US TO DO.

NOW, MS. JONES, SHE SAID ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE, COMPUTER SAVVY TO GO THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND LOOK FOR IT.

I UNDERSTAND.

AND I WAS TOLD THAT, BUT I PREFER COMING TO THE BOARD.

OKAY, THEN THAT YOU COULD EXPLAIN IT TO ME.

AND I WOULD HEAR FROM YOU ALL.

LET ME TRY TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS.

UH, YOU MAY HAVE TO GO BACK OVER THE, SOME OF THEM.

I THINK THE INDUSTRIAL REVENUE, THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT REALLY THE FINANCE DIRECTOR COULD TELL YOU.

BUT, UH, IF YOU ALL WANT ME TO ANSWER THE QUESTION FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S IN THE BUDGET, THE BUDGET HAS WHAT OUR PROJECTED REVENUES ARE.

AND I THINK IT'S SOMEWHERE ABOUT 33, SHE SAID 33.2 33 PER 2,000,033, PRINT TWO.

YES.

MA'AM 33.2 MILLION.

AND THEN I THINK YOUR NEXT QUESTION WAS, WHAT TYPE OF AGREEMENTS DO WE HAVE? SO WOULD A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW UNTIL I CAME BACK TO PORT OFFICE, THE REFINERIES ARE NOT IN THE CITY LIMITS.

THEY ARE NOT WITHIN THE CITY OF PORT ARTHUR.

SO WE CAN'T TAX THEM.

YOU CAN'T CHARGE SOMEONE PROPERTY TAX, BUT PROPERTY, THAT'S NOT IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE TALK A LOT, YOU HEAR A LOT, WE TALK ABOUT ANNEXATION.

SO WE HAVE SOMETHING CALLED IN, IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION AGREEMENT.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE LAW WE FOUGHT FOR THE LAW TO ALLOW US WHERE YOU CAN ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOMEONE RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR TERRITORY.

UM, IT'S CALLED AN EXTRA, UM, IT'S CALLED ETJ.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY IT WRONG.

IT WAS CALLED ETJ, EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, NOT LIKE THE MOVIE, EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

AND IT'S SO MANY MILES, UH, THREE AND A HALF MILES OUTSIDE YOUR CITY LIMITS.

YOU CAN STILL, UM, YOU KNOW, ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT SO YOU WON'T ANNEX THEM.

SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED? I THINK IT'S ABOUT 23 OR 27 AGREEMENTS.

I USED TO KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT THEY'RE ABOUT TO IN THE TWENTIES, ABOUT 27 DIFFERENT AGREEMENTS WE HAVE WITH INDUSTRY THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS AND WE ENTERED THOSE AGREEMENTS.

SO THEY WON'T BE ANNEXED.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE SERVICES.

SO THESE AGREEMENTS THAT YOU'RE HEARING ABOUT ARE CALLED IN LIEU OF TAX AGREEMENTS, AND IT'S BASED UPON THEM PAYING A PERCENTAGE OF VALUE.

SOME PEOPLE PAY, UH, 95% OF THEIR VALUE.

SOME PEOPLE PAY A, WE HAVE A SCALE WHERE IT ACTUALLY GRADUATES UP AND THEY ONLY GET A DISCOUNT IF THEY DO CERTAIN TYPES OF THINGS, BUT THEY BASICALLY PAY A SET PAYMENT.

AND, UM, YOU'D HAVE TO, WHEN THEY SAY YOU OWN THE LOOK AT THE AGREEMENTS, SOME OF THE AGREEMENTS ARE IN UNIFORM, UH, BUT YOU BASICALLY HAVE FOUR TYPES OF AGREEMENTS.

YOU HAVE ONE WHERE WE DON'T, UM, WHERE THEY PAY 95% OF VALUE, AND WE DON'T PROVIDE ANYTHING TO THEM.

AND THEY DON'T.

UM, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE VEOLIA PAYS 95%.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE WHERE IT STARTS AT 80% AND OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD GRADUATES UP.

SO THE NEXT ONE YEAR 80, THE NEXT YEAR 81, AND THEY ONLY GET A DISCOUNT IF THEY PERFORM CERTAIN WAYS.

UM, WE HAVE INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS IF THEY, UM, I'LL START UP A NEW PROJECT.

SO YOU MAY HAVE A REFINERY THAT HAS TWO PROJECTS, TWO, TWO, UH, TWO CONTRACTS.

ONE IS FOR THE BASE REFINERY OR IN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

AND ONE IS FOR A NEW PROJECT.

AND WE HAVE CERTAIN INCENTIVES THAT THE COUNCIL HAS WORKED VERY HARD ON.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE BASICS OF IT AND, UH, THOSE AGREEMENTS.

SO THEY TOTAL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL WHAT YOU PROJECT TO GET, UM, MS. DANIEL AND HER TEAM LOOKED PROJECT, WHEN THEY DO THE BUDGET, THEY LOOK AT WHAT'S PROJECTED BASED UPON THE VALUE.

SO THEY STILL PAY A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT THEIR TAXABLE VALUE IS.

SO THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

OVERALL, IT LOOKS TO THIS TIME ABOUT 33.2 MILLION.

UM, 32 PER TWO MILLIONS.

THAT ROUGHLY, THAT YOU ARE RECEIVING.

I'VE SEEN THEM PAINT TWICE A YEAR.

BACK TO BACK TO THE ONE BULLET THAT I FEEL THAT THE TEXTS ARE NOT THE TAGS THAT THE COMMUNITY, THE HOMEOWNERS COULD SHARE IN THE BUDGET, WHEN THEY GET READY TO DO THE BOOK THAT THE HOMEOWNERS COULD SHARE, AT LEAST ONE FOURTH OF THE 33 PER TWO, THAT, I MEAN, THE ENTRANCE OF THIS MONEY, JUST TO INTEREST OUT THIS MONEY WOULD HELP US, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, UH, AF GOT THREE 90 YEAR OLD PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND

[00:15:01]

I GET OUT OF MY CAR.

THE RESIDUE ON THE CAR IS, IS, IS RIDICULOUS.

AND, AND, UM, IT'S JUST SINCE THEY ARE CAUSING A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE SENDING YOU OUT AT 33.2, I WISH IN THE BUDGET, SOME KIND OF WAY THAT YOU WOULD THINK OF US AS HOMEOWNERS.

AND WHEN A STATE GO UP ON AVATAX, YOU ALL WOULD HAVE, I MEAN, HAVE SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON TO KEEP US FROM PAYING OUT, OUT OF POCKETS DIRECT, AM I MAKING ANY SENSE TO YOU? YES, MA'AM OH, CAUGHT RIGHT AT ME.

AND SHE, IF SHE, IT, UM, THERE IS A PROGRAM WITH THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT ON THE GUIDANCE OF MS. BEVERLY FREEMAN, WHERE THE CITY PROVIDES PINS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO APPLY TO BECOME PART OF THE PROGRAM.

UM, THAT PROGRAM HAS BEEN ON FOR A NUMBER OF USE FROM THE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THE LAST 16 YEARS.

SO ANY CITIZEN WHO IS WILLING TO APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM, UM, THEY COULD CON CONTACT MS. BEVERLY FREEMAN AND HER DEPARTMENT, THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT, BUT FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE.

EXCUSE ME, FUNDS ARE MADE AVAILABLE EVERY YEAR UNDER THE HOUSING.

UH, AND THIS DAY I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S VERY, IT IS NOT PUPPERS THAT PUBLICIZE TO THE COMMUNITY AS, AS, UH, YOU KNOW, AS MUCH AS YOU THINK IT IS, YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT BEING UTILIZED TO THE COMMUNITY AND LETTING THESE PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY CAN GET HELP FROM THAT DEPARTMENT.

I EVEN FILED FOR SOME HELP TO THEM.

AND THERE, IT WAS, UH, IT WAS KIND OF A RAT RACE RUNNING TO, UH, GET THAT TYPE OF HELP.

AND I STILL SAY 33 PRANK TO, YOU KNOW, UH, THE TAX ON THIS MONEY CAN BE IN THE BUDGET SOME KIND OF WAY, BUT, UH, TO KEEP ALL THE TEXTS FROM GOING UP SO MUCH, BECAUSE THEY, UH, WORKING AGAINST US, YOU KNOW, THE HOMEOWNERS AND THESE COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THEY'RE GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER TWICE TO US, YOU KNOW, CAUSE WE PAY HIM, UH, PERSONAL TAX TAX AND ALL THIS.

AND IT'S HIGH.

IT'S RARELY, EVERY GEAR IS GOING UP.

ALL YOU EVER SIX MONTHS IS GOING UP AND HIS RESIDUE THAT'S COMING DOWN.

I MEAN, IF I WANT TO GO AND FIGHT THEM, I'M ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT WOULD SEND ME AROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND IN CIRCUS.

SO THIS IS THE REASON WHY I CAME TO THE BOARD TO SEEK A, YOU ALL REMEMBER ANY, WHEN YOU KNEW THE BUDGET, COULD YOU ALL FIT IN SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS MONEY TO HELP US, WE LIVE IN A COMMUNITY, WE LOVE THE COMMUNITY, BUT THAT TYPE OF MONEY COMING IN, IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE, WITH THE, UH, TAXPAYERS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT IT.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE A, I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE A PROPERTY TOO, AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW, HOW IT HAD HILLS AND WHATEVER, JUST COMING OUT YOUR POCKETS AND YOU LOOK AT THESE COMPANIES.

I THINK THEY'RE GETTING AWAY WITH A LOT.

SO I THINK I'VE EXPRESSED MYSELF AND I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM AND KNEW THAT YOU ALL ARE LOOKING TO TRY TO FEEL WHERE I'M COMING FROM.

FUCK THE COMMUNITY TO HELP BECAUSE I WOULD, PEOPLE HAVE, UH, THEY, THEY SUFFER SOLIDLY.

SO MAY AND I, IF NOBODY BRING IT TO YOU ALL, I KNOW YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, BUT THIS IS THE REASON WHY I'M HERE.

AND SO WHEN THEY DO THE BUDGET, I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO AT 33.2, HEY, JUST TO INTEREST OF THIS, IT WOULD BE A BIG HILL.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THANKS.

Y'ALL OKAY.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR MS. JONES FROM COUNSELING? I DON'T GET THAT.

THERE AREN'T ANY MS. JONES AND HOPE, HOPEFULLY WE'VE ANSWERED, BUT TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES ON THE DATE, WHAT YOU NEEDED ANSWERED.

AND, UH, IN THE FUTURE COUNCIL, I MEAN THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY COULD EVEN FURTHER RESEARCH SOME OF THIS.

AND IF THEY COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW FOR YOU, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.

AND I CALLED HER DEPARTMENT AND SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING TO, UH, FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, SOME PAPERS OUT TO SEE ME.

AND, UH, SO I COULD REALLY, YOU KNOW, GO DOWN INTO IT AND MAYBE TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT.

YES, MA'AM UH, I JUST, I I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE, DIDN'T HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT I WISH IT WOULD BE ON THE TABLE THAT YOU ALL THINK ABOUT HOW YOU COULD USE THIS TYPE OF MONEY TO HELP US.

UH, AT THE SEAT OF MAN, JUST SIT THERE, THAT'S A TIGHT PROGRAM, BUT YOU'LL LOOK INTO THAT'S WHERE THESE PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND GET HELP, LIKE THEY SHOULD.

WELL, IF IT'S POSSIBLE,

[00:20:01]

W W WE'LL LOOK INTO IT AND BE SURE TO IT, THE WAIT IS OVER, UH, OVER THE AREA, OVER THAT AREA.

UM, I THINK THEY SHOULD WALK THAT AREA AND LOOK AT THINGS AND COME IN AND ASK HIM, HOW CAN WE HELP YOU? WHICH OF THESE COUNCILPERSONS WOULD BE THE COUNCILPERSON IN YOUR AREA? WHAT THE COUNCIL PERSON HERE OUT OF THE FOUR DISTRICTS WOULD BE YOUR, YOUR COUNCIL PERSON.

I THINK SHE IS MS. HALL.

WELL, W IN, IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU WOULD, AND I KNOW, UH, SHE WOULD BE MORE THAN PEACE TO, UH, ACCOMMODATE YOU, UH, AND YOU CAN CALL MY OFFICE AND, UH, MS. WHITNEY ON THE NET CAN CONTACT BE A COUCH PERSON FOR YOU, AND WE CAN SET UP SOMETHING WHERE SHE CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU, AND YOU CAN HAVE PERSONNEL PRESENT TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT THE FINDINGS ON.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND, SIR.

AND, BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED NOBODY TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING ELSE TO ME.

I JUST WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY TO THINK ABOUT IT AND DO AN ACTION WITH IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU ALL COME AND THINK ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, 33, PROBABLY TWO US TEST TAX MONEY.

NOPE.

I LET THEM SPEAK TO YOUR PURSE.

KEVIN IS HOME AND SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

MS. JOHNS, ANYTIME, JUST GIVE ME A CALL NOW.

I'LL GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU THIS WEEK.

UH, WE ARE PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER ONE, UH, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEGAN AT 10:00 AM A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE TO CONSIDER AND RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING A PROPOSED CHANGE Z 22 DASH ZERO TWO D AND T UH, INTEREST LLC.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK, I JUST WANT ACTIONS BE DONE.

WE WOULD TAKE ON A BABY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION TODAY, MS. JONES.

NEXT WE HAVE, UH, PRESENTATIONS AND WE HAVE THE FIRST PRESENTATION BY LIP KIT.

WE'RE BEHIND ON THE PUPPET.

[00:25:01]

BASED UPON THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE MEETING ON APRIL 26TH, 2022 CITY COUNCIL APPROVED RESOLUTION TWO, TWO DASH 2, 2 7, CALLING FOR A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE PREPARED AND MAILED NOTIFICATION FOR TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING, AS WELL AS PUBLISHED NOTICE IN THE NEWS POURED OUT THE NEWSPAPER.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ON A SINGLE FAMILY ZONE DISTRICT.

THIS DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO CREATE PROTECTED NEIGHBORHOODS FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, WHICH PRECLUDE CRUDES USES, WHICH ADVERSELY AFFECT RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ARE GENERALLY LOCATED ON LOCAL STREETS.

IT IS BEING PROPOSED TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WHICH MEANS A DEVELOPMENT IN WHICH THE APPLICABLE CODE RESTRICTIONS, OTHER DENSITY REQUIREMENTS MAY BE MODIFIED OR APPLIED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AS A WHOLE, RATHER THAN TO EACH INDIVIDUAL.

LOT.

THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT PATIO HOMES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE SITE IS LOCATED.

THE SITE IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY, A THING, A FAMILY DISTRICT, AS WELL AS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, UH, PD 35 BEING LOCATED SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS JIMMY JOHNSON.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED NORTH OF JIMMY JOHNSON BOULEVARD AND EAST OF US HIGHWAY 69.

THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING APPROXIMATELY 70 ZERO LOT LINES WITH TWO RESERVE TRACKS, AVERAGING 30 FEET IN WIDTH AND 55 FEET IN DEPTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND 50 FEET IN DEPTH.

ON THE NORTH SIDE, THERE IS A PROPOSED 26 FEET WIDE STREET, RIGHT OF WAY, DESIGNED TO MEET CITY SPECIFICATIONS, WHICH WOULD BE NAMED KYLER GILBERT WAY.

THE STREET WOULD BE MAINTAINED AS PRIVATE AND ONLY BE ACCESSIBLE BY PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION AND GRASS EGRESS TO THE SUBDIVISION WOULD BE AT THE EAST AND WEST INTERSECTION OF COLLARD GILBERT WAY.

AND JIMMY JOHNSON BOULEVARD, A PRE-DEVELOPMENT MEETING WAS CONDUCTED WITH CITY OFFICIALS ON NOVEMBER 17TH, 2021.

THE NEXT SLIDES ARE CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS.

THAT WAS A, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS, UH, PROVIDED FOR YOUR REVIEW CAN JUST RUN THROUGH THEM.

UH, PUBLIC NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT TO 13 PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN A 200 FEET RADIUS OF THE PROPOSED SITE AND PUBLISHED IN THE PORT ARTHUR NEWSPAPER ON THE FOLLOWING DATES FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

IT WAS APRIL 30TH, 2022.

WE HAD THREE WRITTEN OPPOSITIONS AND TWO VERBAL OPPOSITIONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.

UH, IT WAS POSTED ON JUNE 4TH, 2022 AND MAIL OUTS WERE ON JUNE, 2010, 2022, NO ADDITIONAL WRITTEN OR VERBAL OPPOSITIONS WAS PROVIDED TO THE CITY STAFF.

I WOULD LIKE TO READ IN RECORDS.

THE FI THREE LETTERS OF OPPOSITION, A COPY OF THESE LETTERS WERE GIVEN TO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AS WELL.

THE FIRST LETTER AS A RESIDENT OF FAIRWAY AS STATES, CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS.

I WISH TO GO ON RECORD AS OPPOSING THE REQUEST TO CHANGE ZONING FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO BE DISCUSSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THE APRIL 18TH, 2022 MEETING.

I WISH ALSO TO GO ON RECORD AS BEING OPPOSED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF ANY STRUCTURES ON THE TRACT OF LAND.

IN QUESTION, I REALIZE THIS IS A SEPARATE CONCERN FROM THE AGENDA OF THE MEETING ON APRIL 18TH, BUT I'M WILLING TO SHARE REASONS OF THIS CONCERN AT ANOTHER APPROPRIATE TIME.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING MY CONCERNS, WHICH ALSO REFLECT THE CONCERNS OF MY HUSBAND OF THIS MATTER.

SECOND LETTER STATES, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I AM AGAINST THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE TO THIS PROPERTY FROM SINGLE-FAMILY TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATIO HOMES.

THIS CHANGE WILL TEND TO LOWER HOME VALUES IN OUR AREA WITH SOMEONE, PLEASE REMOVE THE PLYWOOD SIZE IN POSTED ON THE PROPERTY.

THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS AND THEY ARE AN EYESORE.

THE THIRD LETTER A TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

I AM COMPLETELY OPPOSED TO THE CHANGING OF THE ZONING FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT OF A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION NEAR MY HOME, WHICH IS LOCATED IN NORTH OF JIMMY JOHNSON BOULEVARD AND EAST OF GULF HILL DRIVE.

WHEN I BROUGHT MY HOME IN 20 18, 1 REASON I WANTED MY HOME IS BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE AREA.

I LOVE TO SIT IN MY BACKYARD AND WATCH THE SURROUNDING SITES IN MY AREA.

IF YOU WILL ALL BUILD, IF YOU ALL BUILD, BUILD ANY RESIDENTIAL

[00:30:01]

SUBDIVISIONS ALONG JIMMY JOHNSON, THIS WILL COMPLETELY TAKE AWAY FROM THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY HOME.

THIS WILL ALSO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR MY LAWN GUY TO ACCESS MY BACKYARD WITH HIS RIDING LAWNMOWER, WHICH HELPS IN KEEPING THE LANDSCAPING AND BEAUTIFICATION OF MY HOME.

I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS WILL GREATLY TAKE AWAY FROM THE GOLF COURSE, THE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE AND THE GOLFERS USE THAT AREA FOR ACCESS TO AND FROM THE COURSE AND GOLF IS SLICED BALLS THAT WOULD HIT THOSE HOMES IF THEY WERE THERE ALL THE TIME.

THIS COULD CAUSE CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES TO SOMEONE WHO RESIDES THERE.

ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS IS RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS WILL CAUSE MAJOR TRAFFICS ALONG JIMMY JOHNSON.

JIMMY JOHNSON IS ALREADY A HIGH VOLUME AREA WITH TRAFFIC FLOWING CONSTANTLY.

THIS ONE, NOT ONLY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THOSE OF US TO SEE WHEN EXITING GOLF HE'LL DRIVE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THOSE LIVING IN THOSE RESIDENTIAL HOMES TO GET IN AND OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS.

I DO NOT SEE THEM HAVING MUCH DRIVEWAY BY THE WAY, BECAUSE THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH PROPERTY FOR THEM TO BUILD ON THAT WILL LEAVE VERY LIMITED PARKING SPACES FOR THE RESIDENCES OF ANY VISITORS.

THEY MAY HAVE SPEAKING FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD RESIDE THERE.

I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE VERY HAPPY OR COMFORTABLE LIVING ACROSS FROM THE STREET FROM THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN OPERATION ACROSS THE STREET.

UH, THE, THE RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN LATE AT NIGHT AND THE CLUB MUSIC IS RATHER LOUD.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

I CAN HEAR IT FROM MY BEDROOM SO THAT I KNOW PEOPLE LIVING RIGHT ON JIMMY JOHNSON.

WE'RE HERE AS, RATHER AS WELL.

ALSO ANYONE WITH KIDS WHO LIVED THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL DUE TO THE TRAFFIC AND THE EXCESSIVE SPEEDING THAT GOES ON AROUND JIMMY JOHNSON.

LASTLY, I'M AFRAID THAT FOR WHAT PEOPLE ARE ACTIVITIES MAY RESIDE IN THOSE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS, THE SURROUNDING APARTMENTS IN THAT AREA ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH CRIME AND VIOLENCE VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT THE AREA.

AND WE DON'T NEED ANY ADDITIONAL CRIME OR VIOLENCE ADDED TO IT.

AS I STATED EARLIER, WITH THE CLUB ACROSS THE STREET ON JIMMY JOHNSON, THESE RESIDENTS MAY GET UPSET WITH THE NOISE, SPEAK UP TO A DRUNKEN CROWD AND VIOLENCE MAY RUB FROM THERE.

WE JUST DON'T NEED THAT POSSIBILITY BROUGHT INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

MY PROPERTY TAXES HAVE INCREASED ENORMOUSLY ENORMOUSLY OVER THE YEARS.

I HAVE, I HAVE HAD MY HOME.

I HAVE PAID THEM RIGHTFULLY AND I'M AS I'M SUPPOSED TO.

UH, I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK UP ABOUT ANYTHING THAT MAY TAKE AWAY FROM MY INVESTMENT AND PURPOSE FOR BUYING MY HOME AND MY NEIGHBORS WHO HAPPENED TO BE OUT OF THE, AT THE TIME, FULLY AGREE WITH ME.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY THE END OF THE, THE LETTERS.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU AT THIS TIME.

UH, ANY, BEFORE WE HAVE COUNCIL, ANY, UH, COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, IF YOU MAY APPROACH YOU MAY APPROACH BEGIN STATING YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.

YES.

MY NAME IS DALLAS SMITH.

MY ADDRESS IS 79 0 1 GOLF HILL DRIVE.

AND MY CONCERN, UH, FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THE 3.8 CAUSE OF THE LAND IS TO BE A GOD AND HOMES.

AND, UH, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M IN HOMES.

THEY GONNA BUILD ALL 3.8 BECAUSE OF LANG THAT'S MY CONCERN.

AND IF Y'ALL CHANGE THE ZONING AND CHANGE IT FROM WHAT IT'S ALREADY IS, THEY CAN BUILD ANYTHING THEY WANT.

IT COULD BE APARTMENTS.

THEY CAN CHANGE IT TO SECTION EIGHT.

SO I'M TOTALLY AGAINST IT.

THAT'S MY CONCERN.

3.8 ACRES OF LAND.

HOW MANY HOMES CAN YOU BUILD ON 3.8? SO THAT'S MY CONCERN.

COMPLEX THAT WENT UP ON THAT SIDE.

ANY ANYONE ELSE? DID YOU APPROACH, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? GOOD MORNING.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR.

MY NAME IS JIMMY OR, AND I LIVE AT 7, 7 37 GULF HALE DRIVE.

UH, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MR. SMITH THAT, UM, THERE ARE ALREADY APARTMENTS.

WE LIVE ON THE BACKSIDE OF RON GOLF COURSE.

AND SO IN ESSENCE, THERE WAS ALREADY A NEW APARTMENT

[00:35:01]

AND THEN AS HE WAS STATED IN HIS LETTER, THERE'S ALREADY BUSINESSES ACROSS THE STREET WITH EXTREME TRAFFIC.

THE RESTAURANT IS CONSTANTLY BUSY IN ADDITION TO THE CLUB WHERE IN, SINCE THE MUSIC IS RATHER LOUD.

AND SO THE TRAFFIC THERE IS ENORMOUS.

AND ALSO WHEN IT RAINS, THE FLOODING THERE THAT OCCURS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM THERE FOR YEARS, EVEN PRIOR TO US MOVING THERE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE LADY THAT IT IS, THERE ARE ALSO APARTMENTS DOWN THE ROAD.

THERE ARE THREE CHURCHES IN THAT VICINITY, SO THE TRAFFIC IS ALREADY THERE.

AND SO TO, TO FLOOD THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS SHE STATED, WE MOVED THERE BECAUSE OF IT BEING A QUIET AREA OF, UH, HE ISSUES, HEALTH ISSUES THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE COMFORT AND BE ABLE TO, TO ENJOY THE, THE DURATION OF THEIR LIVES.

AND SO I DO AGREE TO BE, BUT TO KEEP IT AS IT IS QUIET AND SO THAT WE CAN ENJOY.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE TAXES DO GO UP AND HAVE GONE UP AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT EVEN NOW.

AND SO I WOULD PREFER THAT IT REMAINED AS IT IS WITH ALREADY, LIKE I SAID, ONE FACILITY IN THE BANK, BRAND NEW FACILITY.

THEY HAVEN'T EVEN MOVED PEOPLE IN THERE YET.

AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER FACILITY GOING UP RIGHT ON THE FRONT, IN ADDITION TO, AND SO I WOULD ASK THAT IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED TO LEAVE IT AS IT IS.

AND THE OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THOSE WHO HADN'T CHAMBERS? OKAY.

WE'RE READY FOR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL COSMIN MARKS.

I HAVE A QUESTION, MR. BED ON, UH, LOOKING AT THE RENDERINGS THAT, UH, YOU SHOWED US HERE, UH, THE NUMBER OF HOMES OR FACILITIES THAT WOULD BE BUILT THERE, TOLD LOUDER AS I COUNTED THEM LAST NIGHT, I THINK THERE'S 30, 60, NO, 65 OR 65.

UH, IT, IT TURNED OUT THE, UH, UH, THIS CONSUMMATE, THE, UH, DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING, AS I STATED EARLIER, 70 ZERO LOT LINES LINES, 70 ZERO LOT LINE.

I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T GO THROUGH THAT, BUT LOOKING AT THE DRAWINGS, THEY WEREN'T TO SCALE.

THEY WEREN'T THE SCALE.

SO CAUSE WHEN I COUNTED THOSE OUT, THERE WERE 65, 65 PIECES OF PROPERTY OR HOMES IN THAT, IN THAT SPOT.

THE ONE THING THAT CONCERNS ME ABOUT THE, UH, UH, GOING FORWARD, THE LETTERS THAT WERE SENT OUT TO THE RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA, UH, WE RECEIVED, YOU RECEIVED OPPOSITION TO THE, UH, PLANNING, I MEAN, TO THE ZONING CHANGE, YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING IN FAVOR OF, AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTUALLY VOTED THREE TO ONE, NOT TO APPROVE IT NOW, AM I CORRECT? CORRECT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLEAR ON THOSE, ON THOSE THINGS.

WERE MOSES? THANK YOU.

MA'AM UM, MR. BARON, THANK YOU.

OH, THE, UM, INTO THE HOMES, THE PATIO HOMES WE SOLD INDIVIDUALLY AS HOMES, THEY'RE GOING TO BE SOLD INDIVIDUALLY.

UM, THE THAT'S MY QUESTION.

YES.

CORRECT.

AND THEN, UM, CAN THEY UP THE ONCE CHANGE THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, AN APPLICATION, CAN THE OWNERS AT THAT POINT WHERE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO, TO APPLY FOR SECTION EIGHT, FOR THOSE THAT DON'T WILL THAT I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

COULD THEY APPLY FOR IT ONCE WE CHANGED THE ZONING, IF IT'S DONE, OR IF IT'S THAT, THAT THAT'S THE REASON FOR HAVING A PLAN DEVELOPMENT? UH, ANYTIME THAT THEY WANT TO PUT SOMETHING IN, THEY HAVE TO COME, UH, PROBABLY IN A SITE PLAN AND COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

SO A SECTION EIGHT APPLICATIONS.

I MEAN, I DON'T, THEY CAN PUT AN APPLICATION OUT, BUT THEY CANNOT BUILD IT FOR, UH, UH, IT IS ONLY FOR WHAT THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT ALLOWS AND THAT'S IF THEY BUILD IT FOR THESE, UH, SPECIFIC HOMES, UH, I DON'T THINK THAT, UH, I'M NOT AN EXPERT AT THE LAW, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THEY CAN APPLY FOR SECTION EIGHT HOMES AT THAT TIME.

AND IF SOMEONE CAN COME IN AND CHANGE THAT, AND THEN I JUST WANT CLARITY FOR THE PUBLIC.

CAN YOU ANSWER THAT, UM, CITY, SECRETARY, CITY ATTORNEY? I THINK I LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S WANT, FIRST OF ALL, IF THEY'RE SOLD AS HOMES WITH A MARKET, A MARKET VALUE RATE, 70 HOMES,

[00:40:01]

CORRECT? FAIR GUARDSMEN, FRANK.

SO I WOULD NEED TO GET A COPY OF THE PD.

I HAVE NOT READ THE PD.

SO I'D LIKE TO GET A COPY OF THAT, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IF YOU'RE A PROPERTY OWNER AND YOU CHOOSE TO LEASE YOUR PROPERTY, YOU CAN LEASE IT IN ANY MANNER THAT YOU SO CHOOSE.

BUT I DON'T HAVE THE BACKGROUND ON THE PD TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE, BUT NORMALLY IT'S JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY YOU OWN, YOU CAN RENT IT, YOU CAN LIVE IN IT.

UH, AND YOU, I, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY PROHIBITION.

I WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH THAT ISSUE.

I'M NOT AWARE OF A PROHIBITION WITH THE INFORMATION I HAVE NOW, BUT THAT'S THE HOMEOWNER, THE DEVELOPER CAN'T SELL AND THEN APPLY.

LET'S CLARIFY A DEVELOPER.

IF IT GOES INTO AN AREA TO BUILD HOMES, HE CAN NOT GO IN AND BUILD HOMES AND THEN CHANGE IT SOMEHOW TO SAY, I'M GOING TO APPLY FOR SECTION EIGHT HOMES.

THAT'S NOT THAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE SHE'S BUILDING, HE'S BUILDING HOMES AS A DEVELOPER, HE'S BUILDING HOMES AS SPECIFIED BY THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

SO, NO, HE WOULDN'T, I DON'T THINK HE WOULD, BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN LAW.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

LET ME JUST SHARE THIS.

I MEAN, FROM, FROM A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, AS A PLANNER, IF A DEVELOPER COMES FOR A PD, A PD, YOU'RE MOVING IT FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO PD, IT MAKES IT MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE, CORRECT.

IT MAKES IT MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE.

NOW, IF, UH, IF IT'S LEFT AS A SINGLE FAMILY ZONE DEVELOPMENT, A DEVELOPER CAN DEVELOP IT, PUT IN SINGLE FAMILY AND WILL DO WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH IT.

BUT THE INTENTION OF CHANGING IT FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO PD IS TO MAKE IT MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE.

YES, SIR.

I, I, I HEAR THE SECRETARY AND I HEAR YOU, MR. BATON AS WELL, ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.

AND I THINK THAT WHAT WE WOULD WANT TO DO IS TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS FROM THE PARTICULAR STANDPOINT OF, UH, SOMEONE PERHAPS, UH, UH, BUYING ONE OF THESE, UM, PATIO HOMES.

AND THEN AFTER, UH, OWNING IT, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO THEN SWITCH OVER TO, UM, YOU KNOW, SECTION EIGHT OR RELEASE IT, HOWEVER THEY WOULD CHOOSE TO ALLOW SOMEBODY ELSE TO LIVE THERE, UH, TO SUBLEASE IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR REALTOR.

THAT'S WHY YOU SO SMART, BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT TO SUB LEASE IT AND THEN THEREBY EXPOSING CITIZENS AND EXPOSING OTHER INDIVIDUALS.

AND SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY AS A COUNCIL, UH, TO LOOK AT THAT PARTICULAR, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, POSSIBILITY OF THAT HAPPENING AS WELL, AND A STRONG, A VERY STRONG, UH, RECOMMENDATION FROM PLANNING AND ZONING.

WHEN YOU HAVE THREE INDIVIDUALS SAYING NO AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, AS OPPOSED TO BEING ON BOARD WITH IT HAS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

YEAH, MAYOR.

UH, THANK YOU.

AND I, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH, UH, COUNCILMAN FRANK AND, AND I, I WANT TO JUST BE CLEAR WITH IT BECAUSE I, I HEAR WHERE COUNCILMAN MOSES HAS GONE WITH THIS PARTICULAR THING.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE A CHANGE, YOU KNOW, HOW WOULD IT AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS? AND I'M NOT REALLY GETTING A CLEAR ANSWER ON THAT.

SO UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR PARTICULAR BOARD WAS FREE TO ONE, UNDERSTAND THE CITY MANAGER SAID IT'S MORE RESTRICTIVE, BUT WE HAVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS UP HERE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ALL GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE.

IF WE MAKE A CHANGE THAT DOESN'T AFFECT OUR CITIZENS IN A POSITIVE WAY, UH, I LOVE DEVELOPMENT.

UH, EVERYONE KNOWS ON THIS COUNCIL AND MOST OF US ON THIS COUNCIL, WE DO NOT WANT ANY MORE SECTION EIGHT OPPORTUNITIES HERE IN PORT ARTHUR.

WE ARE SATURATED WITH IT AND WE ARE SICK OF IT.

AND WE GET SO MANY PEOPLE COME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL AND SAY ONE THING, AND THEN IT END UP BEING ANOTHER.

SO THIS COUNCIL HAS TAKEN A STRONG STANCE ON PREVENTING THOSE TYPES OF THINGS FROM HAPPENING.

SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE JUST SO DETAILED AND WANTING TO GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION, UH, ATTORNEY, WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON TODAY.

AM I UNDERSTANDING RIGHT? YOU DON'T HAVE TO, THE ITEM IS ON THE AGENDA AND IT'S UP TO YOU ALL, IF YOU WANT TO ACT TODAY OR ACT LATER.

SO THE ITEM IS PO 772 AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE COUNCIL.

SO THAT LETS YOU KNOW, MR B, THAT WE HAD TAKEN A STRONG STANCE IN UNDERSTANDING HOW DEVELOPING, UH, OPPORTUNITIES ARE ON THE COUNCIL.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO GET THESE QUESTIONS ANSWERED, UH, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE A COLLECTIVE COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS DECISION.

WE CAN GET TO ALL THE ANSWERS YOU WANT TO ANY QUESTIONS.

THAT'S FINE.

[00:45:01]

APPRECIATE IT.

MA'AM UH, COUNCILMAN JONES.

MA'AM IF WE HAVE TIME, CAN WE GET A VEIL RESEARCH? JUST IT'S QUESTIONS.

THEY DON'T DO A JOB, YOU KNOW, SO WE HAVE A GOOD ANSWER SIDE ANNOUNCEMENT.

I WOULD SAY THE ATTORNEY GET BACK WITH WAIT.

BAIL.

YEAH, WE CAN ALL WORK ON IT AND IT GIVES A GOOD ALPHA REHOUSE.

AND, AND EXACTLY.

WE WANT TO DO THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SO DO WE, ARE WE AGAINST ANY TYPE OF TIMEFRAME OR TIME CRUNCH AND IN APPROVING THIS IT'S ON THE AGENDA.

IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO WORK ON IT TODAY, UM, YOU CAN ALWAYS TABLE IT TILL THE NEXT MEETING.

AND THAT WAY YOU'LL KNOW A DATE.

CERTAIN YOU WANT TO PUT IT ON THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING, WHATEVER WOULD I BE APPROPRIATE AT MAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION.

NOW WE GOT TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN WHEN WE GET TO THAT ITEM, WHATEVER DATES YOU CAN PUT A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THAT TIME COMES AFTER WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MR. MAYOR, MAY I SAY ONE MORE THING PLEASE, SIR.

MR. RAY, I WANT TO SAY PUBLICLY WHILE WE'RE IN THIS PUBLIC SESSION, THAT OF COURSE I WANT TO CONTINUE TO ADD ON TO THAT, THAT HERE IN THE CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, I THINK THAT AS A COUNCIL AND AS CITIZENS, WE WANT DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE, WE KNOW WE WANT PEOPLE.

WE WANT OUR CITY TO GROW.

IT ADDS TO OUR TAX BASE.

IT ADDS TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR CITY.

SO I WANT US TO WANT DEVELOPMENT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE WANT TO LISTEN TO OUR CITIZENS.

WE WANT TO MAKE PORT ARTHUR A PLACE WHERE INDIVIDUALS WILL WANT TO STAY AND WHERE INDIVIDUALS WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR VOICE IS BEING HEARD AND THAT THEIR DESIRES ARE BEING, UH, AT LEAST LISTENED TO.

SO I WANTED TO ADD THAT TO THE, TO THE, TO THE PUBLIC RECORD.

AND WE'LL GET YOU ALL THE ANSWERS YOU NEED.
