PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS a. Consider a resolution authorizing the publication of the Notice of Intent to issue Certificates of Obligation; approving the preparation of one or more preliminary official statements; and providing for the effective date thereof. Finance Director Teresa McKenzie provided an overview regarding a resolution authorizing the publication of the Notice of Intent to issue Certificates of Obligation(CO). (Exhibit A) Council Member Kenrick Griffith stated, "I don't recall at the February 27TH meeting or work session that we discussed the issuance for the fire station and the drainage in the amount of$17 million, which I see reflected at the top. I don't remember any conversations regarding any of these items that total $65 million. Why is that? Did I miss something?" City Manager Jason Reynolds stated, "From my recollection, all these things have been discussed. The Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Committee put everything forward. I believe I even drew it on a board, that water and sewer would be handled by Certificate of Obligation (CO) Bonds and General Fund for the Fire Station. This Garth portion of$4 million would be handled by this portion for this CO this year, because Fire Station 2 has been in play for about a year if not longer. Through all of our meetings we've discussed that these things were coming. I don't know if this was further discussed in the CIP Committee. I remember them being discussed. I don't know if there's any input on that. I'm trying to recollect myself on a lot of this. A lot has happened in the last few months, but I do remember this all being discussed at some point in time." Council Member Mike Lester stated, "The CIP was mainly focused on the General Obligation (GO) Bond and I'm looking at my colleague that's on the GO stuff. We did talk about water and sewer, but the discussions around water and sewer were separate and distinct. They were self- funding. That we didn't want to move them for the GO perspective, because of legality issues if they failed. I remember we touched on those. I don't know if we brought it to full Council for discussion. I believe that some of this was discussed in our retreat." Council Member Sarah Graham stated, "I do remember the stuff on the board, but we did talk about this in CIP. For me, the answer is, she just told us that it's self-funding. It was very separate in CIP. I think, maybe the reason it seems strange is because it's on this, but it was talked about in the library at the retreat." Mr. Lester stated, "Yes, we talked about it there and I agree with my colleague that the actual number for Fire Station 2 was originally higher. There was some rework and some working with the Fire Department that they were able to bring that cost down. That was good that they did that. Garth Road has always been around the$4 million. The A and B are the reason we pushed that to the CO. I think I remember the discussion was because we've already committed to those expenditures." City Council Regular Joint Meeting Minutes May 08,2025 Page 5 of 23 Council Member Laura Alvarado stated, "I think his question was, I think he was okay with the general fund items. It was mainly the water and sewer projects and it was discussed at our retreat." Mr. Lester stated, "They were separate and distinct, so we shifted from those to the GO conversation pretty quickly and concentrated on those items versus the water and sewer. I think we did discuss them. I think I remember some of that at the retreat. We just didn't emphasize it so in depth because they were self-funding. At least that's what I remember out of that." Ms. Graham stated, "I really think that,that's the issue with the recollection, is because it just wasn't brought to the forefront when we were dealing specifically with COs? Mr. Reynolds stated, "If we go back even further to last year when we decide, or maybe even 2 years ago at this point. That we would, when we move forward with debt, COs, anything general fund would go through a GO outside of this last issuance. Then, the legalities with water and sewer were going to stay on the CO process. That's been discussed, I'd say all the way back until the last year budget process, even at last year's budget meetings. They were self-sustaining. I probably do agree that the water and sewer conversations have probably been quick, because we know that they are needed projects and there's nothing extra in these pieces. When the CIP went through it, yes it was needed and they moved on. Outside of that, I don't recall all the other specifics,but I know it's been discussed." Mr. Griffith stated, "I have no doubt in my mind we need these projects. What I have a problem with is the funding mechanism for these. We need a fire station, and we need these infrastructure projects. I would personally like to see these on a GO. I just don't feel comfortable with that project sitting out there that we're doing to force a $82 million CO debt on the public. I'll just retire with that." Mayor Pro Tem Jacob Powell stated, "Yes, I've been consistent through the years that I would like to use GOs instead of COs; no need to beat a dead horse. Everybody knows where I stand on that and so that won't change tonight." Ms. Graham stated, "Could staff clarify what we're doing tonight because I'm under the impression that this was already voted on a 5 to 2 over a month ago. So, can you please tell me what we're doing right now, specifically?" Mr. Reynolds stated, "Yes, ma'am. I believe that's why Teresa started off the way that she did. That this has been the given direction by Council. That this is the way to move forward for the past year. When the last time that we spoke, we spoke on this at both budget retreats over the past few months, and then at the very last one. I believe in February maybe March, I don't know, I'm sorry Council. Recently, in the last few months Council did make a vote to move forward with the CO process. It wasn't an official vote, but it was a consensus of 5 to 2 to move forward with this debt issuance. There was a consensus of this group to move 5-2 with this debt issuance. It was work session item that was defined to move forward. I believe, I actually spoke over on that section to talk about Fire Station No. 2, and Mr. Lester talked about the timing and if it's going to be pushed into the summer. That he would like the Fire Station No. 2 be on the GO City Council Regular Joint Meeting Minutes May 08,2025 Page 6 of 23 process, but we understood that it was going to be starting around May. I still think it was February, that it was specific direction to move forward with this debt issuance." Ms. Alvarado stated, "Could we elaborate on the legalities in terms of the reason to move forward with these projects under the water sewer? The fact that they're self-funded. I heard that you mentioned the legalities." Mr. Lester stated, "If we go forward with the Bond election for water and sewers and the section of it failing for whatever reason, then we're stuck with 3 to 5 years before we can go back and address that. I-10 Lift Station No. 1 improvements, that are needed. If it happened to fail, we wouldn't be able to touch it for 3 to 5 years. We can't do that with water and sewer. It's not a road that you can deal with, the potholes you can deal with that. If sewer lines or lift stations need repair and go down, then we're in a real bind. Again, that's why the consensus was for water and sewer only, because they are such critical needed type expenditures. We wouldn't take the chances of putting them on a GO. We would continue with the cons for the time being. That's the way I understood the discussions went. There was a consensus; that made sense because there are no options or fluff in water and sewer issues. You either have a water line that works or a sewer line that works. Those are critical infrastructure issues for our citizens. If we can't provide them water and sewer, what else are we doing? Again, roads or other amenities and stuff like that, those are things we can deal with. If it fails, we could probably struggle through the next 3 to 5 years, depending on what the legislature does. That's what I meant by the legality issues. That was the discussion we had, and that's why it was a 5-2." Mr. Reynolds stated, "Just on the legalities of this as well. It's bringing back some memories here. Part of this was that these projects are part of our pre-action plan for the Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO), which is why that it was necessary to move forward with this. This is a plan that's already been in place. For the citizens asking the questions on the SSO, we've been doing this for a decade plus already. We've committed over 89 million already to address it. This is not something that just popped up last year or 2 years ago, but part of this is the plan that we agreed to. To address the SSO. Some of those things in there are part of that, and we couldn't take a risk on that not being approved." Ms. Alvarado stated, "That was my follow-up question, because that's what I remember us discussing in the fact that we are already investing into water and sewer. With issues on SSOs, we need to show that we are being proactive and that we have been proactive in fixing these items. I want to understand my colleagues in terms of them saying, my philosophy is I just don't want COs. I get it, but for this particular issue and the things that we're dealing with SSO, we're already hearing ramblings on social media, Bonds, no. We're already hearing it. Before we even said yes, we're going to go for Bonds, they were already saying, Bonds, no. As I mentioned before in my previous comments, I do want to trust our residents and the fact that we want them to be a part of the decision-making, but this the SSO issues are very critical for us right now. I feel that we don't need to wait that 3 or possibly 5 years, with the way the state has been moving right now. I don't want to get into a big drawn out explanation, but I think I would like to have a little further clarification on my colleagues who are against the CO for these particular issues. Not your general philosophy around COs,but what is your true hesitation on these?" City Council Regular Joint Meeting Minutes May 08,2025 Page 7 of 23 Mr. Griffith stated, "My colleague is philosophical. I'm not overly hard philosophically opposed to COs. What I am opposed to is my colleagues' point, I see that there are some immediate needs on the CO and I'm not opposed to a CO, that addresses some immediate emergency needs as PP g Y some like the lift station projects. What I'm opposed to is the add-ons of this and what exactly are the immediate needs that are on here versus some of the add-ons that really drive the cost. Can we put the Fire Station No. 2 on the GO? I think we can and I feel like we can. At the February 24TH meeting, all we talked about was the Fire Station No. 2 and the drainage, which was $17 million. I didn't see any of this itemized till tonight, actually yesterday in my meeting. I am not overly opposed to COs, but I want to make sure that those COs really go to emergency needs for the City that just can't wait for a GO." Mayor Johnson stated, "Talking about the Fire Station, going to tour the Fire Station. That was a need back when I was on Council. I toured the Fire Station then and I toured it here recently, back in February. Those Firefighters need and deserve better living quarters. That being said, if put on a GO Bond and it fails,they're going to have to be there 3 to 5 more years. I'm not looking forward to that. Looking at this here Transite Pipeline Replacement Program for Bayway. Can you elaborate on that? I don't want to speak on something and in the end,be inaccurate." Public Works and Engineering Director Frank Simoneaux responded, "Yes, sir. So, the transite Pipe is an asbestos cement pipe. It was common in the 70's. This is a line that runs the length of Bayway. It is a 16-inch line. It is made of asbestos cement, which as it ages becomes brittle and subject to catastrophic failure. As you try to fix it, it tends to break more. This is the issue. This same type of pipe we had off of Bayway that's busted and we had to issue the boil water notice. This project is to replace part of that transite pipe." Mayor Johnson, "That's where I was going with this. I went out there and saw Public Works employees in chest deep water and it was 40 degree weather? 40 degree weather and the pipe kept breaking as they fixed it. I wouldn't want to see something like this on the GO Bond, because our citizens could be without water. How long were they without water when this broke? Maybe 3, was it maybe 3 or 4 days? A good portion of a week." Mr. Simoneaux responded, "I think they were out of water maybe a day with low pressure, then the boil water notice, and we had to wait for the test to come back. It was about 3 days, I think." Mr. Griffith express, "And I hear what you're saying and I wouldn't be opposed to amending it to something like that would be on a CO bond. It's something immediate." Mr. Simoneaux stated, "The items on the water and sewer are all necessary. I-10 Lift Station is the lift station that serves San Jacinto Boulevard and areas north of I-10. The current I-10 Lift Station is at capacity. As that area along San Jacinto develops, that is going to be out of capacity. We will not be able to allow development, because we don't have wastewater capacity. Texas Avenue Lift station is SSO early action plan item. We have a lot of SSOs attributed to that Lift Station and this is one we felt would be a high impact to mitigating SSOs. We want to show good faith as we negotiate this consent decree. That we are showing progress in trying to mitigate our SSOs. This one is very critical to that. We talked about transite water lines. Lead service line is another requirement. A new legal requirement that we have to evaluate the whole City Council Regular Joint Meeting Minutes May 08,2025 Page 8 of 23 City for any lead in the water pipes. That is to finish that assessment and then there'll be another phase where we have to actually replace those lines." Mr. Powell stated, ": I can elaborate a little more just on my sense. The issue here is it all being combined. I understand it's for limiting the cost of issuance, which I'm all for saving money. I just don't agree with the entirety of the list. If we take just the water and sewer, which is all backed by revenue and we can use Revenue Bonds for that. I believe I've voted on that in the past and would again. The issue for me is the General Fund portion. I do think those items could be on the GO. I know Fire Station No. 2 we keep talking about how past due it is to be replaced. If we as a body have let it get to this point, then shame on us for letting it go so long. We kicked the can, and then all of a sudden, it's an emergency that we need to go out for a CO. We should have acted on this sooner. I don't think waiting an additional 6 or 8 months, whatever it may be for the GO at this point. I don't think it is that large of a difference. Like I said, the issue for me Councilwoman, is just with it all being combined into one." Ms. Graham stated, "The Fire Station No. 2 for me is, I wouldn't say is an emergency. For me, what it is, is that they have already told us they're ready to break ground. The blueprints are done. I can't speak for kicking the can down the road and all of that, but I'm not willing to kick the can down the road anymore. Shame on us, but I'm not going to shame on me. I am definitely going to be voting for that Fire Station to be completed no matter what happened in the past. As far as the water, sewer and the other items on the list, I agree that 6 months,probably wouldn't be a big deal for waiting. What I'm worried about is, what if it's not 6 months? What if it's 3 to 5 years? For me, that's where the problem comes in. I can't predict what's going to happen. I can just gather the same information everybody else up here can on what's going to go on with the GO, pray and keep my fingers crossed and hope it all works out. The other thing that I just wanted to say is. I am not understanding as a Council, we are saying the same things over and over again. We decided, and I accepted everybody's consensus vote, at 5-2. I thought Staff did a great job of presenting. I'm remembering all the little things and all the big things that took place just in the past 4 months dealing with every item on this list. So, for me tonight, I'm just not understanding why we're going into so much discussion again, on the same things. I think everybody up here already had made up their mind and had said their piece on this. I accepted that. I know exactly how all the Council people feel about it and I think we should vote and move on." Mr. Franco stated, "Just my thoughts. Thinking about it, looking at a lot of different things and in the past on Fire Station No. 2. I agree it needs to be replaced. I also agree it could be on the GO Bond and I've actually stated that to other members of the Fire Department. The thing that kind of got to me was you took some of the orders kicking the can. The $13.5 million is roughly 8% of our budget and we've been waiting on it. For at least 5 to 6 years. Why was it not taken before when there was a lot of needs needed? We did some wants around here and those wants shouldn't have been done. We should have done the needs, now it's coming back to us as a Council. This Council, to try and rectify the situation. I agree, the water and sewer are emergencies that need to be done. I'm okay with some of that,but my thing is everything feels like being kicked down the line for a long time. Now us as a Council and me as a Council Member are trying to rectify and fix those situations. It's getting annoying to keep seeing that. Not that I don't support the fire station being replaced, but I've been an advocate for the GO bonds too. I understand what I said City Council Regular Joint Meeting Minutes May 08,2025 Page 9 of 23 then, and I understand that part, but also now knowing that this wasn't an immediate that just happened. That this had been something that's been looked at and needed to be replaced for a long time. It was not done before and now it's on us, that annoys me. My thing is that, now it's why wasn't it done when it needed to be done in the past? We had needs and we did a bunch of wants. They are subjective, I'll tell you right now water, sewer, fire stations, police and fire are needs. The other things are wants." Ms. Alvarado stated, "Like Councilwoman Graham, I'm ready to just move forward with this, and I encourage you to continue. If you feel we should continue to kick the can, go stay a tour at Station 2." Mayor Johnson stated, "Should have done it in 2018. Should have done it in 2019. They go should in 2017." Ms. Graham stated, "I wasn't here for that, but listen, I'm telling you right now, if that GO fails and that Fire Station is not able to be rebuilt for possibly due to state law for up to 5 years, I am not willing to do that to this side of Baytown. It's not for me. It's not just about the Firefighters that are housed there. Their fire trucks do not fit in the building, that's an issue. We talk consistently and philosophically about how fire safety and infrastructure are the main things that we should worry about as a Council and a City. I get it; we kicked the can down the road. We meaning other people. I don't even think it was the people up here, but I'm not going to kick the can down the road. I ask you all to please come together and not kick the can down the road anymore for Fire station No. 2. You may not live on this side of town, and you may not need that Fire Station right there,but me and my family we do." Mr. Reynolds, informed the City Council, before they vote, if you don't mind, Mayor. We can issue this if we need to into 2."
