Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Kilpatrick to approve RS-18-092. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Nash-King. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-100 Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing the Solid Waste Division to purchase containers for the City of Killeen’s solid waste collection systems.
Staff Comments: David Olson, Executive Director of Public Works.
Mr. Olson gave a historical overview of purchasing solid waste containers, advising that this type of purchase occurs annually. The Solid Waste Division is required to have an inventory of containers in stock in order to accommodate the normal growth of the city and replace lost or damaged containers. Funds are allocated in the FY 2018/2019 solid waste budget in the amount of $168,091 for the purchase of residential and commercial containers. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to procure residential solid waste containers and parts from Toter, Inc. through Texas Smart Buy using the full allocation of funds in the amount authorized in the FY 2018/2019 Solid Waste Annual Budget. Staff further recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to procure commercial containers and parts through Roll Offs USA using the full allocation of funds authorized in the FY 2018/2019 Solid Waste Annual Budget.
Motion was made by Councilmember Rivera to approve RS-18-100. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Fleming. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-101 Consider a memorandum/resolution adopting the Bell County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Staff Comments: Peter Perez, Emergency Management Coordinator.
Mr. Perez summarized the Bell County Hazard Mitigation Plan and further explained that the City of Killeen partnered with CTCOG and Bell County to complete the County Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan demonstrates the community’s commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serves as a tool to help decision makers direct mitigation activities and resources. This plan was also developed to make CTCOG, Bell County, and its participating jurisdictions eligible for certain federal disaster assistance, specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation program, as well as earning credits for the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the plan via Resolution.
Motion was made by Councilmember Menking to approve RS-18-101. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Rivera. Motion carried unanimously.
RS-18-102 Consider a memorandum/resolution rescheduling the City Council meetings for December 2018 and January 2019.
Mayor Segarra advised that Section 34 of the City Charter provides that the City Council shall meet regularly, but not less frequently than twice a month. Historically, the City Council has scheduled these two meetings for the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. The fourth Tuesday of December falls on Christmas Day and the first Tuesday of January falls on the New Year’s Day holiday. It is recommended that the City Council meeting scheduled for December 25, 2018 be rescheduled to December 18, 2018. It is also recommended that all January meetings move back one week since there are five Tuesdays in the month. This move would schedule the first regular City Council meeting of January to January 15, 2019 and the second meeting to January 29, 2019.
Motion was made by Councilmember Fleming to approve RS-18-102. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Nash-King. Motion carried unanimously.
Adjournment
With no further business, upon motion being made by Councilmember Rivera, seconded by Councilmember Menking, and unanimously approved, the meeting was adjourned at 5:11 p.m.
