and Olmstead, a law firm out of Austin, Texas, and invited the City to join them in their proceedings to
oppose the granting of a permit to Dos Republicas, free-of-charge.

REPORTS
2.
Monthly Departmental
Mayor, English-Cantu asked HR Director, Isabel Perez about when the advertising for Police Dept. and
Fire Dept. vacancies closes. Mrs. Perez replied that they had recently re-advertised and that she is
waiting to see which applicants are selected but HR will continue to receive applications until positions
are filled. Councilman, Sifuentes asked if there were interviews conducted for the Library Director
position. Mrs. Perez advised there hadn’t been any. Mayor, English-Cantu went on to ask about
interviews for Library Director and Operation Manager at the library. Mrs. Perez advised there have
not been interviews but candidates had been selected. Councilman Sifuentes asked if applications were
screened for qualifications before being sent to a Departmental Director to which Mrs. Perez replied
that they are screened but ultimately they are all sent to the Director so they are informed of all those
who expressed an interest in a position. Councilman, Sifuentes expressed a concern that perhaps
screening for qualifications should be done prior to Director being informed, to ensure that the
candidate being chosen has the proper qualifications. Mayor, English-Cantu asked about the Finance
Director position to which Mrs. Perez replied there has not been any applications submitted, possibly
due to an Information Technology (IT) issue. Mayor, English-Cantu stated he would like a notice of some
sort to be put out, informing the Public of such, in order to maintain Equal Opportunity Employer status.

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
3.
Oversight Committee Status Report
City Manager, Gloria Barrientos informed Council that the Oversight Committee held a meeting on
November 19, 2014, where they agreed on rules and procedures, the frequency of meetings, which is
the first and second Wednesday of the month, at 4pm, inside the Adelina Roman Conference Room,
City Hall. Five members constitute a quorum, as this is a 9-member committee. On December 2, the
Committee held a workshop, where they toured the Armory with architects, where they discussed
architectural programs and discussion and development of schematic design. Architects are eager to
present information to Council as soon as they have it ready, possibly during the next Regular meeting.
4.
Plan of Action for Plastic Bag Ordinance
City Manager, Gloria Barrientos said that based on an Attorney General summary, made on August 29,
2014, stating that such an ordinance is prohibited by Sub Section 361.096a1 of the Health and Safety
Code, if adopted for solid waste purposes. Whether or not a City adopted such an ordinance for those
purposes would require a factual inquiry beyond the scope of an Attorney General (AG) opinion.
Ordinance should not be adopted based on solid waste but for the protection of animals, environment,
or other factors. Plan of actions/recommendation is to 1) wait and let Court and/or Legislature resolve
matter before adopting ordinance, 2) revise ordinance to fall within discussion of AG opinion, and 3)
consider other options, such as making it voluntary, and/or offering incentives, and encourage
recycling.
At this moment Councilwoman, Gloria Hernandez arrived at said meeting.
Legal Representative, Paul Fletcher stated that the Council will find that the third version of the
ordinance should be amended to comply with AG ruling, in order to present a draft.
5.
Update on Sentry Lane Information
City Manager, Barrientos stated that the cities of El Paso, Hidalgo, Brownsville, and Laredo were
contacted to request information on the number of individuals and vehicles that cross using the Sentry
Lane. The municipalities stated that they did not have that information but perhaps Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) or Capufe, a Mexican agency, might have those numbers. She further stated
that CBP is working on getting the information and that a contact at Capufe is still trying to be located
to see how/if they can help
6.
Update on 559 Program (CBP)
City Council Regular Meeting
December 4, 2014
Page 4
City Manager, Barrientos stated that there was a meeting with CBP, where they informed on additional
detail needed on how to bring about a plan-of-action for a donation agreement. There was a window
of 60 days to come up with a business plan to meet the criteria being requested. Funding sources need
to be located, as well as how much is the City willing to contribute. They have been meeting with CBP
to discuss details, such as peak hours, how much help they think is needed, etc. Expansion plan was
discussed, wherein with newer programs, this could be used as part of a donation agreement. She
further states that there have been no clear answers. They have been searching to see who could
provide a template to get this done, but as of right now, this is not something that can be done in 60
days. Mayor, English-Cantu stated that he would like to see the City utilize their resources, such as the
Border Trade Alliance so the City doesn’t miss out on services or opportunities.

Monthly Report
December 2014
Department Highlights:
The month of December started off with the traditional Tree Lighting Ceremony at the San Juan Plaza. The
following day, we had the 5K Jingle Bell Fun Run/Walk. We have also started the Boys & Girls Basketball
League with a total of 99 teams which, for us, is a new record.
The last “Oldies But Goodies” Dance of the year brought in over 120 attendees. We were able to obtain
sponsorships for both food and gifts that were raffled among the participants.
We look forward to the multiple activities we aspire to accomplish this New Year with renewed vigor and
optimism.

INTRODUCTION
The Texas Department of Public Safety is stocking certain forms, manuals, gunshot
residue kit, and supplies for the Intoxilyzer Breath Testing Program and the Laboratory
Alcohol and Drug Testing Program for all Texas cities, counties and state Department of
Public Safety operations. This is being done to control uniformity of procedures,
consistency of paper work and supplies of the Breath Testing Program and the
Laboratory Alcohol and Drug Testing Program thus strengthening our position in court
should the need arise. We will also be able to take advantage of volume buying thus
passing on the savings to you, the customer. Certain minimum quantities and packaging
will be required in order to be as efficient as possible. The prices will differ between
DPS and non-DPS users. The non-DPS agencies will be charged a slightly higher price
due to all administrative and handling expense and will be required by law to have an
Interlocal Cooperation Contract on file with Reprographics & Distribution Services for
any supply item such as mouthpieces, alcohol blood tests kits, gunshot residue kit and
urine specimen kit. An Interlocal Contract is not required for printed materials. We
strongly urge that all purchases be discussed and coordinated with your local Breath Test
Program Technical Supervisor and/or DPS Headquarters Laboratory Alcohol and Drug
Testing Program personnel. These individuals are familiar with the ordering procedure
and should be aware of any price changes. The Technical Supervisor or Laboratory
Alcohol and Drug Testing personnel will also be in a position to advise the purchaser of
the quantities of supplies that will be needed.
