City Council Regular Meeting December 4, 2014 Page 3 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. ORDINANCES 7.
