City Manager Bo McDaniel reported on the Friendswood Rotary Club that recognized Friendswood Police Department Officer Archie Mizell as Officer of the Year for 2006 at their December luncheon. This award was made in recognition of Officer Mizell's exemplary service above and beyond the call of duty. Officer Mizell demonstrates the commitment and selfless actions that Texas law enforcement officers are faced with each and every day. Officer Mizell is a 1999 graduate of Friendswood High School. He began his law enforcement career in December 2002 as a Friendswood Police Officer shortly after graduating from the Alvin Community College Law Enforcement Academy. In May 2004, he became a certified SWAT officer. In April 2005, Mizell received his Intermediate Peace Officer Certification and became a Field Training Officer. In March 2006, he earned his certification as a police instructor. In October 2006, he became certified as a sniper. Officer Mizell is a valuable member of the Friendswood Police Department and continues to demonstrate leadership qualities. Officer Mizell is recognized for his actions in response to several critical incidents as a SWAT team member, his response to dangerous calls for service, which resulted in felony arrests, and his recognized skills in the detection of DWI drivers and suspects involved in illegal narcotics activity. Officer Mizell has demonstrated tremendous bravery and courage throughout his career as a Friendswood Police Officer. The City proudly recognizes Officer Mizell as a dedicated professional who represents the highest model of what a police officer should be. City Manager Bo McDaniel reported on the State designated advanced level of preparedness. State law requires that each city and county in Texas be covered by an emergency management plan and update the plan every five years. The State of Texas maintains a jurisdictional preparedness profile that rates each city and county's emergency planning efforts. For the past five years the City of Friendswood has maintained the City's Emergency Management Plans at the Advanced Level. The latest profile received last month has rated Friendswood as having met the requirements for the Advanced Level of Preparedness once again. The City's Emergency Management Plan and all 22 annexes have been updated to meet all state and federal requirements. These plans provide the framework for operations in the event of a major emergency. By meeting the advanced level of preparedness, the City is eligible for consideration for the Emergency Management Performance Grant program in 2007. The City has been receiving funding from this program for the past eight years and last year received $42,600. After 01/15/07 2610 Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, the City of Friendswood found itself eligible for several funding opportunities because the Emergency Management Plans were in place and they were rated as having met the advanced level of preparedness. The advanced level rating will also assist in getting a better ranking for any future pre-disaster mitigation projects that the City may be interested in. City Manager Thanked Fire Marshal and Emergency Management Terry Byrd for his good work. City Manager Bo McDaniel reported on the status of a joint use facility with Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District (GCCDD) for soccer fields, presented information to Council for consideration, fields would be used at least 95% of the time, need to make some determination, safety is the main issue on ingress and egress, parking, report is based on the status and what the next step is, recommendation for the next step would be for Council to direct the City Manager to pursue further to develop implementation plan for Council to consider, get input from the Parks and Recreation Board regarding use. Council appreciates City Manager's work on the feasibility of this, help to respond to Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District (GCCDD) if interested in use, thinks should express if City is interested, does not want to spend funds on this and not be able to use, City has other sports clubs that are in dire need, more so than soccer, appreciates work that has been done, another issue would be restroom facilities, could be a win/win situation, all coming out of the same pocket, anytime there is a partnership it is a win for both parties, parking is going to be a problem, may need to look at parking on some of the retention area, need to make it handicap accessible, suggests turning it over to the Parks and Recreation Board to look at and bring back with associated costs and recommendation, could have jogging trails, agrees this is something to pursue and get into schedule to consider later on, suggested not send to the Parks and Recreation Board without a budget, needs to be done with quality, not halfway, how can the Parks and Recreation Board give us the best bang for our buck, does not do citizens good to have athletic fields if they have water in their living room, important issue is drainage, if going to build, then build quality, should not commit funds right now, ask the Parks and Recreation Board to get feedback as to what fields are most important at this time, not to plan it just to advise next critical need, GCCDD has already designed and put in pilot channels for soccer fields and will be available if needed, look at applying grant in varying options to help fund development and would have to look at management cost to maintain facility, possibly check with local sports groups to participate and check with National Soccer Organization for a grant match, consensus of Council is to bring back with more detail and then consider commitment, consensus of Council is that the City does want the use of this property and thanked GCCDD for this offer and joint participation, this area would meet the Parks Master Plan for a park in this area, funds are available through Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC), plan to flush out more potential opportunities that exists for resources such as volunteering and grants, rough implementation plan, proposal for consultant to help with grant program and bring back in a couple of months with this information, thanked GCCDD for this proposal.

Seconded by Councilmember Peden. The motion was approved 4-3, with Mayor Smith, Councilmember Ewing, and Councilmember Measeles opposed. Councilmember Horecky placed this item on the agenda, the contract with Friendswood independent School District (FISD) expires in March with a prior 30 day notice, after meeting with FISD, need to have an answer by the end of January, would be a savings to the City, Galveston County Judge James D. Yarbrough stated he would like to see the County collect all taxes and provide free of charge. Councilmember Peden stated it would be a savings to the City, was in a meeting and heard Judge Yarbrough state that he would like the County to collect taxes for FISD and for the City of Friendswood. Councilmember Measeles asked who collects taxes for Harris County with Councilmember Peden stating that FISD currently collects taxes for Harris County. Mayor Smith stated this would be a savings to the City but not to the citizens, FISD is not going to use Galveston County, over 70% of taxpayers will have to pay for both collection services, school taxes may go up to pay for Staff and to collect for the school district. Councilmember Peden stated people on the Harris County side of City of Friendswood would be saving money. Mayor Smith stated the real cost savings is when we have one entity collecting taxes for everybody. Councilmember Ewing stated she talked to Judge Yarbrough who expressed concerns about the new computer system and getting the bugs out, would recommend to wait at least one year, would like to correct that FISD deposits daily not weekly, it is a big deal to have a local office open every day, citizens get accustomed to this kind of service. Councilmember LeCour stated he heard the rate of deposits weekly or daily saves or gains this City money, would like to see the numbers, could not be produced at the FISD meeting. Director of Administrative Services Roger Roecker stated the City gains money from interests by depositing daily. Councilmember Horecky stated the Galveston County proposal would deposit daily, Councilmember LeCour stated another issue is having a tax office here, Judge Yarbrough stated he would entertain the idea of putting an office here, how do you pay Galveston County taxes without leaving the City of Friendswood, sees a potential positive, would like to work with Judge Yarbrough to get an office here and work with FISD to save $100,000 to put back into the classroom, it is a win, win, win. Councilmember Hill stated he has always mailed his check to the County and has had no problems, uses annex off of Calder Road, if want to pay in person could go to Calder Road, did not 01/15/07 2612 appreciate FISD meeting thought it was bogus, FISD should let County collect taxes and hire two new teachers. Councilmember Measeles stated he would like to get a written proposal from Galveston County and FISD to compare apples to apples. Councilmember Peden stated it was mentioned there was a meeting with Judge Yarbrough, requested if the meeting had been done in writing, not in a recording. Mayor Smith stated there was a difference in collection rate between FISD and Galveston County. Councilmember Peden stated he was appalled at the FISD meeting, their mind had already been made up, they were not interested in savings for their school children, hopes the School Board does the right thing and goes with Galveston County for the cost savings. Councilmember Horecky stated he would like to clarify the motion to change to Galveston County, negotiate with Galveston County and see what is offered. Mayor Smith stated we are not saving money until FISD changes too.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS Councilmember Ewing had requested to speak on Builder without Borders Sister City Program and presented a brief PowerPoint presentation, did research and found Sister City International is a partner in the congressional campaign for citizen diplomacy, is good for economic development, membership would be $509, would like to partner with Builders without Borders of Texas in Carboneras, Mexico, with Friendswood Community Church and Methodist Church taking groups, presented photos of City located on Gulf of Mexico, it is a fishing village, the goal would be to have some conversation with their City Council, there is only one Councilmember in the Village, it is a neighboring community of San Fernando. Mayor Smith had requested to speak on the tax appraisal approval process. Mayor Smith questioned the process, only 15% of property owners in Texas protest value, what would ramification be if not approve. Councilmember Peden mentioned getting a legal opinion, thinks it may be illegal if do not accept individually, state law says you cannot look at them. Mayor Smith stated he will continue to research to see if doing the correct thing, check to see what would ramification be if City does not approve, Councilmember LeCour stated his experience was that he was treated rudely, would like the City to offer training sessions on how to protest, learned this by attending a training at the library last year held by Tax Assessor Collector Cheryl Johnson, would like to see input from citizens, build a complaint file, gather up input letters and then get Mr. Ken Wright with the Galveston Appraisal District to attend meeting to address, City should not be paying to have citizens treated like garbage. Councilmember Horecky stated he agreed, went there a couple of years ago with a professional, was treated awful, when spoke to Chief Appraiser and Deputy they took care of the problem, some are rude. Councilmember Peden stated he protests when taxes go up and for clients, has never been mistreated by anyone, thinks should allow Mr. Wright to correct, should invite Mr. Wright annually and let him know if not treated right and let him correct it. Mayor Smith stated he had no complaints about the people, Council concur to investigate how to do this with help from City Attorney John Olson, what would be the step legally if want to not approve process and how to do it. Councilmember Horecky had requested to speak on amending the City Codes, Ordinances, procedures, etc., such that Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and/or Galveston County Consolidated 01/15/07 2613 Drainage District (GCCDD) approvals are no longer required in the building or platting application process. This shall apply to all parcels of five acres or less, regardless of location within the City, so long as they are not divided into more than two lots. Parcels of fives acres or less shall not require on or off- site detention/retention. Councilmember Horecky stated we have got to do something to stop destroying the town, it is time we do something, there are a whole lot of little lots that nothing can be done with. Councilmember Hill prepared a pie chart and presented to Council and to the public, has heard over the last couple of months about a property owner that is trying to build in Friendswood, we are forcing them to destroy property, tear down trees, engineering for plans run $20,000 to $50,000 to prepare, why do we require TxDOT and GCCDD to approve plans for property less than five acres, pie charts show that the City did not cause the flooding in Friendswood, others upstream and Harris County did, Harris County Flood Control District has done absolutely nothing, they continue to let their people flood Friendswood and have yet to move the first shovel of dirt to improve the flow of water in Clear Creek, the Corp of Engineers has done nothing but spend millions on studies over the last four years and allowing others to flood us while stopping our local drainage district every time they try to help the flooding problem in Friendswood. The proposal of Councilmember Horecky is a small step in the right direction, exempting five acres and smaller lots will have no effect on Clear Creek. The total amount of land is probably less than 250 acres if we exempt five acre lots and less, would not have a problem exempting 500 acres because it is still insignificant to the level of the water in the creek, 250 acres is fifteen hundredths of one percent of the Clear Creek watershed, this will not effect flood insurance, Insurance Service Office (ISO) ratings is overdue, we have spent millions relocating our citizens, destroyed both residential and commercial land and trees, not to mention the City's tax base over a problem we did not create nor can we solve. The situation is critical and it demands immediate action. This Council has an obligation to the citizens of Friendswood to take action at the next Council meeting, let us stop destroying Friendswood now. Mayor Smith mentioned the effect it has on people, touching the floodway it may still have to go to the Corp of Engineers for approval. Councilmember Peden stated to give Council's questions to Staff to get answers and schedule a workshop for January 22, 2007. City Manager Bo McDaniel with consensus of Council as to legality of removing Corp of Engineers and Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District (GCCDD) from this project. Harold Whitaker, board member of GCCDD, responded that GCCDD is chartered by the state law, will be glad to dialogue with Council, but cannot exclude GCCDD from the process nor can be removed, need to look at the best interest of the community, we are looking at a criteria plan and cannot have completed by next week. Councilmember Measeles reported on the Clear Creek Environment Foundation and if we are going to assist financially in any way may need to place it on the next agenda for action, clean up on Clear Creek. There was a recent report from Dannenbaum Engineering on rain received on October 06, 2006, an impact of overall rainfall, throughout watershed the rain does not fall consistently, provided map of floodplain and showed houses that are impacted showing 18 or 19 homes that are in the floodplain and had water in their homes, need to consider to look at the possibility of another buyout at another time and look at funding for this type of project. Councilmember Peden stated he hopes everyone had a good holiday and happy New Year, enjoyed the New Years party at Councilmember Horecky's home and really enjoyed it, was invited to Washington to attend the Whitehouse briefing on the President's agenda for next year, was honored leaving this evening for Austin for Governor Perry's inauguration and ball, was excited to serve as Mayor for three days. Councilmember Hill stated over the holidays Kaz Hamidian, Public Works Director, was Acting City Manager and there were no incidents, lost two town treasures, longtime resident and election helper, Pat Hart and Jack Jeter who came to Friendswood in 1936, highlight of holidays was getting together to give Steven Shultz, an injured Iraq soldier, a Subaru Golf Cart. Councilmember Ewing stated there will be a tree giveaway on January 20, 2007 starting at 8:OOAM and will end when they run out of trees. 01/15/07 2614 Mayor Smith wished everyone a Happy New Year.
