(Mohamed Bireima, Director of Planning) ]

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE, REVIEW AND DISCUSS.

REVIEW AND DISCUSSES, UH, ANOTHER SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CALLED AMINA BAD COLONY CONSISTING, UH, NOT OF 680 SOMETHING, BUT OF ONLY 72.

SINGLE FAMILY LOTS LOCATED ON 23.425 ACRES LOCATED SOUTH OF ROHAN ROAD AND EAST OF MINUTE MENNONITE ROAD.

EXCUSE ME.

UH, THIS IS AGAIN, NOT IN THE CITY LIMIT.

THIS IS IN THE EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

MUHAMMAD.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

UH, JIM CALLOWAY REPRESENTING AMBA INVESTMENT GROUP.

LLC.

UH, OWNER HAS SUBMITTED CORRESPONDENCE

[00:15:01]

TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION REGARDING A PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CALL AMBA COLONY.

UH, JUST KEEP IN MIND, THIS NAME IS JUST A PLACEHOLDER AND MAY CHANGE.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS APPROXIMATELY 23, UH, AND A HALF ACRES LOCATED SOUTH OF ROHAN ROAD WITHIN THE EX EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE CITY.

AND THE FOLLOWING, THE CITY MAP DEPICTS THE LOCATION OF THAT SUBJECT TRACK.

A CONCEPTUAL LAND USE PLAN HAS BEEN SUBMITTED ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS SUMMARY FOR A PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION CONSISTING OF 72, 72 60 FOOT WHITE LOTS WITH ACCESS POINT TO ROHAN ROAD.

UH, HIS, UH, SUMMARY OF WHAT IS BEING SUBMITTED.

UH, PRIMARY EXTERIOR, UH, FINISHES ARE LIMITED TO BRICK AND STONE AND SHALL COMPRISE AT LEAST 65% OF THE FRONT FACADE AND 50% OF THE REMAINING FACADES PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CONSISTS OF DECORATIVE SUBDIVISION FENCES ALONG, UH, CONSISTING OF, UH, MASONRY CONSTRUCTION OR PRECAST, UH, PRECAST CONCRETE TO SCREEN RESIDENTIAL LOTS ADJACENT TO UND ROAD.

AND THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION WILL MAINTAIN THESE, UM, UH, SUBDIVISION FENCES.

UH, THE PROPERTY OR THE TRACK IS LOCATED ALSO WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF MUD TWO 18.

THE CITY CONSENTED TO THE ADDITION OF THIS TRACK INTO MUD TWO 18 ON MARCH 5TH, 2024, AND ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE OWNER THROUGH RESOLUTION NUMBER R 36 23 ON THE SAME DATE.

IN ADDITION, UH, A WATER SUPPLY AND WITH WATER DRAINAGE SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND MUD TWO 18 WAS ALSO APPROVED TO SERVE THE TRACK, UH, THROUGH RESOLUTION NUMBER R 36 24 PROVIDING WATER AND, AND, AND SEWER CONNECTIONS TO THIS TRACK.

THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED THIS REQUEST TO PRESENT THE COUNCIL A REVISED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHICH WOULD SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR A NEW DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

UH, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THE SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2026, REGULAR MEETING, AND THE STAFF AND THE APPLICANT WAS HERE, UH, ARE SEEKING DIRECTION FROM COUNSEL ON WHAT CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED, UH, TO CREATE THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT DO THEY NEED FROM US? THEY NEED, UM, NEW DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO, UH, THE, THE OWNER WHO CAME IN, UH, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ENTERED INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, BUT THAT DEVELOPMENT WAS INCLUDING PRIVATE STREETS AND, UH, THE CITY AGREED TO THAT AGREEMENT.

AND ALSO, UH, THIS LAND WAS ADDED INTO MUD 18, WHICH IS A MUD THAT THE CITY PROVIDE WITH WATER AND SEWER.

SO WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR NOW IS JUST A NEW AGREEMENT WHERE THEY CAN CHANGE THE LAND PLAN.

IT'S ONLY 72 LOTS.

IT'S A 60 FOOT WHITE LOTS.

AND, AND, AND HERE'S THE LAND PLAN.

IT'S JUST NEW AGREEMENT WITH A NEW LAND PLAN.

THAT'S IT.

BUT IT'LL BE PUBLIC STREETS.

HOW WIDE IS, ARE THE STREETS, UH, 60 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY WITH 36, UH, PAVEMENT, CORRECT? YES.

SO IT'S, IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY REQUIREMENTS.

WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THE VALUES OF THESE HOUSES? HE CAN ADDRESS THAT.

WHILE HE'S ADDRESSING THAT, YOU SAID THERE'S 60 FOOT, HOW, WHAT'S THE FROM CURB TO CURB IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

30 HILL STREET, THE PAVEMENT.

36.

THE ROAD 36.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN SO MUCH AS THE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT AWAY.

36.

SO THAT IS, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

THAT IS IN COMPLIANCE IF IT WERE HERE.

UM, AND UH, THE ONLY THING IS IT'S NOT 70 FOOT LOTS, BUT, UM, IT IS 60 FOOT AND NOT 40 FEET, WHICH IS WHAT THE LAST, IT'S FAR AWAY FROM 40.

IT, IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, WHICH WAS WITH THE LAST FOLKS THAT OBVIOUSLY GOT UPSET WITH THIS LEFT.

SO FIRST OF ALL, SIR, I WANT TO COMMEND YOU ON NOT TRYING TO TALK US INTO APPROVING 40 FOOT LOTS.

I, I'LL BEGIN WITH THAT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH AND FOR 36 FOOT STREETS, I THINK YOUR CUSTOMERS, YOUR FUTURE CUSTOMERS WILL BE VERY PLEASED.

AND TAKING OVER THIS DEVELOPMENT, CHANGING THE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT.

AND, AND GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNSELORS.

I'M JIM CALLOWAY, 7 22 TYLER RUN SUGARLAND.

UM, I AM REPRESENTING THIS GROUP WHO IS IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING THIS, UH, ORIGINAL LLC

[00:20:01]

TOTALLY.

UH, WE WANT TO WORK ON A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BEFORE WE SPEND ANY MORE FEES ON LEGAL FEES.

PREPARE THAT FOR THE, UH, STAFF AND COUNSEL REVIEW.

UH, WE WANT TO GET SOME FEEDBACK AND, UH, ONLY GIVE YOU JUST A REAL BRIEF OVERVIEW OF, OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO.

23 ACRES, 72 LOTS.

AND, AND THIS, THIS MAY BE 70, IT MAY BE 71.

I DOUBT IT WILL GO UP.

IT WOULD MAKE THE OWNERS HAPPY, BUT I DOUBT THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

UH, WE'RE GOING TO A PUBLIC STREET, PUBLIC FACILITIES, ALL CITY STANDARDS, EXCEPT FOR THE 60 FOOT LOTS.

YOU LOOK AT THE TRACK, UM, TO YOUR RIGHT OR TO THE NORTH, YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF 50 FOOT LOTS TO THE SOUTH.

THE DEVELOPMENT IMMEDIATELY SOUTH, PRIMARILY 60 FOOT LOTS.

AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S KIND OF THE CONTEXT THAT'S BEEN SET BY THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OUT THERE.

WE, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF, WELL, THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CONCEPTS THAT THE OWNERS HAVE LOOKED AT.

THE ONE THAT YOU JUST SEEN EARLIER IS KIND OF WHERE WE GOT THE NUMBER 72.

WE LOOKED AT ANOTHER CONCEPT WHERE WE MIGHT COULD MOVE THAT, UH, DETENTION AROUND AND GET SOME, UM, WATTS THAT BACKED UP TO IT AND HAVE A WET DETENTION.

UM, THAT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE OF CUL-DE-SAC LINKS.

I THINK WHAT WE'RE GONNA BRING BACK FOR A FINAL EXHIBIT IN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS GOING TO BE PERHAPS A BLEND OF THESE TWO, WHERE THAT DETENTION POND STILL IS MOVED TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY BACK.

BUT WE DO HAVE TO MEET YOUR CUL-DE-SAC LINKS AND, UM, NUMBER OF LOTS THAT CAN BE SERVED BY CUL-DE-SAC.

AND THAT CONCEPT WE LOOKED AT AFTER OUR MAIN CONCEPT OR INITIAL CONCEPT JUST DOESN'T MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

SO MEETING, MEETING YOUR REQUIREMENTS IS IMPORTANT TO US.

WE HAVE A SINGLE ENTRY ON ROHAN ROAD.

IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE A BOULEVARD ENTRANCE SO THAT WE MEET YOUR EMERGENCY ACCESS REQUIREMENTS.

FORT BEND MUD TWO 18 IS THE WATER PROVIDER.

UM, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE ONSET DETENTION.

WE WILL HAVE PARK AMENITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

I, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MEET OUR FULL PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENT ON SITE.

WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, MONEY DEDICATION TO THE CITY.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

I THINK THE IMPORTANT PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TERMS, WE'RE LOOKING FOR PRETTY STRAIGHT UP SUBDIVISION.

WE CONSTRUCT THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE DISTRICT MAY REIMBURSE US FOR THOSE THINGS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR DISTRICT REIMBURSEMENT.

ALL, UM, PUBLIC RE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRE CITY APPROVAL, COUNTY APPROVAL, CITY INSPECTION, UM, JUST LIKE A SUBDIVISION WITHIN THE CITY.

WE UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T REGULATE OUR LOT SIZE, UM, OR OUR WIDTH, BUT WE'RE PROPOSING A MINIMUM WIDTH OF 60 FEET AND AN AVERAGE LOT SIZE OF 7,200 SQUARE FEET, WHICH I THINK PUTS US AT OR EVEN A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THE DENSITIES THAT, THAT WE COULD GET ON A SUBDIVISION INSIDE THE CITY.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I THINK YOUR MINIMUM IS 70 AVERAGE.

CORRECT.

SO WE'RE A LITTLE OVER YOUR MINIMUM AVERAGE.

WE'LL PROBABLY WANNA PUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS SOME NUMBER ABOVE 72 FOR THE MAXIMUM.

I DON'T THINK WE'LL GET TO A NUMBER ABOVE THAT THOUGH.

WE, TONIGHT YOU'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL.

DOES IT SPECIFICALLY SAY THE NUMBER OF LOTS? AND WE, WE, WE ARE STATING 80 IN, IN THESE TERMS, BUT IF THERE'S A NIGHT OF STATE, SO THE NUMBER WE NEED TO PUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE ARE 72 80 SOMETHING IN BETWEEN.

WE'RE FINE WITH THAT.

WE PREFER 72.

YOU GOT IT.

SO IF YOU'LL DO 72, 'CAUSE YOU'RE, YOU'RE 60 FOOT LOT, SIR.

65.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THESE? WHAT ARE THE, WHAT ARE THE, THE VALUES START AT SAID ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE.

BUT THE GOOD THING IS YOU'RE NOT 40 FOOT.

SO IT'S PROGRESS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO MEET A A, A MARKET.

UM, I HEARD THE QUESTION, WHAT ARE THE, UM, TARGET HOME PRICES THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE, WHAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR? ONE OF OUR DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS SUGGESTED 500,000.

WE'VE LOOKED AT RIVERA, WHICH ON THEIR, UH, SMALLER LOTS, I THINK STARTS AT 4 90, 400 90,000 GOES UP ON THEIR 60 FOOT LOT.

SIX 60.

I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU WHERE I MAY MEET THAT AND NOT MEET IT, BUT THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE KIND OF THE RANGES THAT I THINK THIS MARKET WILL BEAR.

HOW MANY SQUARE FEET DOES THAT MAKE? THE HOMES AROUND 2000 AND UP, I THINK.

[00:25:01]

UH, TARGET FIVE, 500,000.

I AM NOT GOING TO, UH, THAT, THAT'S HOME ON THE LOT.

I'M NOT.

YEAH.

WHAT, UM, WE DON'T, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MARKET WILL BURY YET BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO INVEST IN MARKET ANALYSIS UNTIL WE KNOW WE, WE CAN GET A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND GO TO WORK ON A PRELIMINARY PLANT.

WHAT IS, UM, IS IT POSSIBLE IT'S NOT TOUCHING CITY? I GUESS THIS IS AN ATTORNEY QUESTION.

IT'S NOT TOUCHING CITY, PROPERTY CITY, UH, ACTUALLY CITY LIMITS.

CAN IT BE ANNEXED? POTENTIALLY.

SO IT'S THE DOES NOT HAVE A REQUIREMENT OF CONTINGENT.

IT'S, UH, ADJACENT IS THE TERM OF ART, WHICH IT IS, IT IS SUBJECT TO THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT AND ANNEXED NATION TERMS IN THAT AGREEMENT YOU HAVE WITH MUD TWO 18.

UM, UM, UH, WOULD YOU, WOULD THEY CONSIDER, UH, BEING ANNEXED? WE CERTAINLY CONSIDER IT.

I'M, I'M, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'VE DISCUSSED AND I CAN'T RESPOND TO IT TONIGHT, BUT WE'LL CERTAINLY CONSIDER IT.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO ANNEX THEM? WELL, BECAUSE THEY, WE HAVE A 70 HALF MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES.

THAT'S WHY, THAT'S ONLY WHY ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT'S GONNA BE AROUND THAT MUCH.

UH, YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE REASON THAN THAT.

THAT'S A NOT A BAD ARGUMENT .

UH, BUT I'M SURE, I'M SURE THESE FOLKS WOULD PREFER NOT TO HAVE THE RESTRICTIONS OF LIVING IN THE CITY.

WELL, THEY MEET ALL OUR, THEY MEET EVERYTHING.

THERE'S A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS.

YOU CAN'T, CAN'T POP FIREWORKS.

YOU CAN'T SHOOT YOUR GUNS.

PERSONALLY.

I'M MORE ACCUSTOMED TO BEING ON YOUR SIDE OF THE TABLE AND ASKING THAT SAME QUESTION.

BUT THAT'S, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH A CLIENT.

AND WE ARE WILLING TO CONSIDER SOME OTHER AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANNEXATION.

UM, I WOULD BE MORE, YEAH, I WOULD BE MORE, UM, INCLINED TO GO ALONG.

WELL, I'D BE MORE INCLINED TO GO ALONG WITH WHAT YOU, UH, WANT TO DO IS IF YOU WOULD, UH, TALK WITH THE OWNERS AND, AND OUR STAFF AND SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN BEING ANNEXED.

WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO TALK TO THE DISTRICT TOO, BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE DISTRICT AND YOU HAVE AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT IN THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE DISTRICT.

BUT THE HOMES ARE UNDER OUR ORDINANCE WITH THE CITY THAT THE 1665 AREN'T TERRIBLE.

BUT THEY ARE UNDER OUR, I THINK, I THINK THE BUILDERS WOULD PREFER TO NOT BE, I THINK WHEN THEY, WHEN THE OWNERS GO BACK AND TALK TO THE CONTRACT.

UH, LET'S SEE IF ANY OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I'M GONNA, UH, GET THROUGH A COUPLE MORE SLIDES.

SURE.

'CAUSE I MAY ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS.

YEP.

THERE YOU GO.

UH, IDEA, WE, WE INTEND THAT THE, UH, DETENTION FACILITY WILL, WILL BE PUBLIC MUD FACILITY, BUT THAT IF THE PROPERTY IS EVER ANNEXED, THAT IT WOULD NOT BE ANNEX, UM, MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF ROSENBERG.

I'M ACTUALLY PROUD OF MYSELF FOR SAYING THAT BECAUSE AT TNZI SAID ANOTHER CITY'S NAME.

UM, BUT THAT'S 'CAUSE I WORKED FOR THAT OTHER CITY FOR A LONG TIME.

UM, BUT, BUT THAT THEY WOULD BE, UM, MAINTAINED BY THE HOA ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

I, I WON'T DWELL ON THAT.

UM, MOHAMMAD COVERED THAT PRETTY WELL.

UM, WE PROBABLY, UM, IN OUR MINDS, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CASTOR CULTURED TEXTURED STONE, WE, WE, WE ARE THINKING STUCCO TWO.

I MAY NEED TO SPECIFY THAT IN THE AGREEMENT BECAUSE I THINK SOME HOME BUILDERS JUST IN THIS AREA, LIKE TO USE SOME STUCCO FOR ACCENT.

WE'RE SUBJECT TO THE, UH, DISTRICT FIRE PROTECTION AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.

SO THE, THE RESIDENTS WILL PAY FIRE PROTECTIONS FEE TO THE DISTRICT, WHICH WILL THEN COME TO THE CITY.

WE, WE THINK WE'RE BRINGING BENEFITS TO YOU FOR THIS ETJ DEVELOPMENT THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BECAUSE WE'RE AGREEING TO SOME, UM, RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS THAT YOU WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO IMPOSE IN THE ETJ.

WE THINK THAT OUR LOT SIZES ARE COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE ADJOINING SUBDIVISIONS.

UH, WE THINK THAT OUR, OUR MINIMUM AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR CITY REQUIREMENTS FOR IN CITY DEVELOPMENT.

UH, WE WILL DESIGN, IF WE, IF WE GO FORWARD AND WE'RE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE WILL, WE'LL DESIGN AMENITIES AS PART OF THAT, UM, DETENTION AREA AND ANY OTHER GREEN AREAS THAT WE MAY END UP WITH.

AND THOSE WILL BE BUILT AND MAINTAINED WITHOUT COST TO THE CITY.

UM, I, I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE RESIDENTS SHOPPING THAT LIVE IN THIS SUBDIVISION ARE GONNA SHOP IN THE NEARBY ROSENBERG BUSINESSES AND BRING SALES TAX TO THE CITY.

AND, UM, ANNEXATION IS AN AGREEMENT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.

WE'RE SUBJECT TO THE MUDS AGREEMENT

[00:30:01]

SO WITH THAT, HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

UM, REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS AND DIRECTION THOUGH.

SO JUST TO SHORTEN IT UP, 'CAUSE I WAS DRIFTING AROUND, WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU ASKING FOR? ARE YOU WILLING TO CONSIDER A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT'S BASED ON THE TERMS THAT WE SHOWED YOU TONIGHT? SO, SO TONIGHT'S NOT AN ACTION ITEM, IT'S A DISCUSSION.

AND THIS IS WHERE COUNSEL NEEDS TO GIVE US OUR FEEDBACK TO LET US KNOW IF Y'ALL ARE FOR THE PROJECT OR NOT FOR THE PROJECT.

WELL, IS THIS ANOTHER ONE THAT NEEDS US? IF WE DON'T, UH, WHY, IF THEY'RE IN THE ETJ, THAT LAST ONE NEEDED WATER AND SEWER.

SO JUST FOR, UH, OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR FYI HERE, WHY DO WE HAVE TO APPROVE THIS IF, WHY DO THEY NEED IT? HE'S ASKING FOR OUR FEEDBACK MM-HMM.

TO FURTHER PURSUE THE PROJECT.

ANY WATER? THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S ASKING.

NO.

DOES HE NEED WATER? THERE'S SOMETHING WEAK.

HE WOULD NOT BE HERE.

I MEAN, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, CERTAINLY THEY'RE NOT COMING HERE JUST TO FYIS.

THERE'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO, TO, TO DO FOR THEM TO MAKE THEIR DEAL HAPPEN.

WHAT IS OUR WATER? AND WASTEWATER COMES FROM THE DISTRICT, BUT IT COMES THROUGH THE DISTRICT.

FROM THE CITY.

SO YOU NEED ALL SAME THING CON SIMILAR IS THE LAST PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE.

THERE, THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE NOW.

UM, IT HAS A, A, A TERM FOR EXPIRATION THAT'S BEEN REACHED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE CITY NOR AMEN NEVADA HAS DECLARED IT EXPIRED OR TERMINATED.

BUT THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ON THIS PROPERTY RUNS WITH A PROPERTY.

WE ARE ESSENTIALLY ASKING TO AMEND THAT TO ALLOW FOR PUBLIC STREETS RATHER THAN PRIVATE STREETS.

RIGHT.

UM, SINCE THIS IS, UH, SO YOU'RE, SO SIR, THEY'RE ASKING US WHAT OUR VIEW IS.

AND I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MILE AHEAD FROM THAT LAST ONE.

IT'S NOT IN THE CITY.

UM, YOU HAVE THE LAST FOLKS THAT WERE HERE DID HAD 32 FOOT STREETS.

THESE HAVE 36 FOOT STREETS, WHICH IS WHAT WE WON.

SO IN THIS CASE, I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT IN MY VIEW, BUT WE WANT, WE WANT TO GET EVERYBODY ELSE'S VIEW.

RICHARD, WHAT, WHAT DO YOU, WHAT'S YOUR VIEW? I, I, UM, I'M OKAY WITH IT.

NOT, UH, UH.

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SIT DOWN WITH OUR STAFF AND I'M ONLY OKAY WITH IT.

IF YOU TALK ABOUT ANNEXATION, I'M TIRED OF ALL THESE DEVELOPERS COMING THROUGH HERE AND SKATING ON, SKATING ON THE EDGES OF TOWN AND, YOU KNOW, AND IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE I, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S, WHO OWNS THE REST OF THAT PROPERTY? THERE ARE, DO THEY, DO THEY OWN THE, UH, OUR GROUP OWNS THE 23.4 ACRES AND THAT'S IT TO THE, UH, EAST OF US.

THERE'S A LARGE AREA THAT IS OWNED BY FORT BEND COUNTY.

IT IS GOING TO BE A REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY TO THE WEST OF US IS A, UH, TRACK THAT IS OWNED BY AN INDIVIDUAL THAT LIVES THERE.

BUT IT'S NOT THE CITY LIMITS EITHER.

NO.

THAT'S NOT IN THE SAME CITY.

BUT I WAS JUST WANT, IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE THEY MAY BE GOING IN STAGES, BUT, UM, I, I'M, I'M ONLY IN FAVOR OF THIS.

IF YOU FIRST SIT DOWN AND WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

AND THEN OTHER THAN THAT, IF, IF IT DOESN'T, IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT, THEN I'LL, I'LL BE OKAY WITH EVERYTHING.

GEORGE, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH.

WHO'S GONNA, ARE YOU GONNA STILL GET THE, UH, THE FACILITIES OF POLICE AND FIRE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS? UM, FIRE WILL COME THROUGH THE FIRE SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH THE TWO 18.

SO I BELIEVE THAT IS CITY OF ROSENBERG FIRE SERVICES THAT WE WILL PAY FOR.

AND, UM, POLICE SERVICES WILL STILL COME FROM FORT BEND COUNTY.

SO THE CITY POLICE WOULD NOT GO 'CAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE IN THE CITY.

THE ASSISTANCE THEY'VE GIVEN US TOO.

AMANDA? NO.

AND I REMEMBER DISCUSSING THIS, I THINK THAT IN MAY, UM, AND I, AS LONG AS THE, YOU KNOW, MOST OF OUR CITIZENS DON'T WANT ALL THESE LITTLE NEIGHBORHOODS POPPING UP, I UNDERSTAND IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

SO I LIKE THE LOT SIZES A LOT BETTER THAN THE 40 FOOTS, WHICH ARE DISASTROUS TO ME.

BUT, UM, BUT I REMEMBER THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD AND Y'ALL ANSWERED ME SOME QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

SO I'M OKAY WITH THE, TO UPDATE THE AGREEMENT AS LONG AS WE STAY WITH THESE SIZE LOTS AND AROUND THE 72 TO RANGE.

SCOTT, NO QUESTIONS? I'M GOOD.

STEVE.

NO QUESTIONS? I'M GOOD, FELIX.

UH, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

JUST LIKE, UM, COUNCILOR OLSON SAID, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT ANNEXED IN THE FUTURE.

I'M, I'M, I'M FOR THAT AS WELL.

SO, ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

AND, UH, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CITY STAFF FOR ALL

[00:35:01]

[2. Review and discuss the Animal Control and Shelter monthly report for August 2026, and take action as necessary to direct staff. (Omar Polio, Director of Animal Control) ]

TWO, REVIEW AND DISCUSS ANIMAL SHELTER REPORT FOR AUGUST, 2026.

OMAR, HE'S HERE.

HE'S WAITED PATIENTLY.

OMAR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

ALL RIGHTY.

WE GOTTA HURRY BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING MORE AND MORE AND MORE OF OUR AUDIENCE .

SO YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DRAG IT OUT? DON'T DRAG IT OUT.

SURE.

WE GOOD? OKAY.

YOU, YOU, YOU NEVER DRAG IT OUT.

ALRIGHTY.

GOOD EVENING COUNSEL.

UM, TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE REVIEWING THE AUGUST, 2026 MONTHLY REPORT FOR THE ANIMAL CONTROL AND SHELTER DEPARTMENT.

REAL QUICK, A COUPLE OF STORIES.

UM, ONE OF OUR BIG STORIES FROM AUGUST WAS A RESCUE THAT WE HAD TO DO FOR A PACK OF ABANDONED OR DUMPED SHIHTZU AND KINESE PUPS THAT WERE DROPPED OFF AT LOCAL APARTMENT COMPLEX.

UM, THEY WERE IN RE REALLY BAD SHAPE AND THANKFULLY WITH THE HELP OF A LOCAL RESCUE, WE WERE ABLE TO GET 'EM ALL HOUSED WITH THEM.

WHERE, WHERE THEY'LL BE RECEIVING ALL THE MEDICAL ATTENTION THEY NEED.

IT IS A CASE THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY STILL WORKING ON, I BELIEVE, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET TO A GOOD RESOLUTION AND PROSECUTE THOSE THAT GOOD.

DID THIS NEXT, YOU WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT OUR PLAYGROUPS.

UM, ABOUT ONCE A WEEK WITH OUR STAFF.

WE DO HOST PLAYGROUPS WITH OUR DOGS, WHICH IS AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO GET OUR DOGS ACCUSTOMED TO OTHER ANIMALS, OTHER DOGS.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY GREAT WAY TO GET THEM INTO HOMES BECAUSE IT SHOWS OUR POSS UH, POTENTIAL ADOPTERS THAT THESE DOGS ARE DOG FRIENDLY, ABLE TO INTERACT WITH OTHER ANIMALS IN THEIR HOMES.

AND IT'S A GREAT SOURCE OF ENRICHMENT FOR OUR, FOR OUR PETS.

AS FAR AS INTAKES GOES, FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST, WE DID HAVE A TOTAL OF 68 INTAKES, 23 DOGS, 38 CATS, AND SEVEN OTHER.

AND OUR OUTCOMES WAS 65 TOTAL OUTCOMES.

SO 29 DOGS, 30 CATS, AND SIX OTHER ANIMALS WERE ABLE TO LEAVE THE SHELTER.

THERE WERE A NUMBER OF DEATHS AND EUTHANASIA THIS MONTH.

UM, WHICH WE'LL YOU'LL, YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A LITTLE BIT HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR NUMBERS.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A LOT OF THESE DEATHS OR THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF OUR REACH, FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF THESE WERE, YOU KNOW, ANIMALS THAT COME IN SUPER SICK OR HAVE SEVERE ORGAN FAILURE, WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, WE CAN STOP.

UM, ONE OF THE OTHER ONES IS SOME ANIMALS DO PERISH DURING THEIR SURGERIES.

SO DURING SPAY NEUTER, SOMETHING THAT'S AGAIN, OUT OF OUR CONTROL, THAT WHICH CAN AFFECT OUR NUMBERS, UH, DID HAPPEN AS WELL FOR A COUPLE OF CATS.

UH, ONE DOG WAS EUTHANIZED AS WELL FOR PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURES.

AND TWO DOGS WERE EUTHANIZED DUE TO THE MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

SO AGAIN, ORGAN FAILURE, DIFFERENT, UM, ILLNESSES THAT THEY MAY ENCOUNTER THAT WE CANNOT, CANNOT FIX.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT PUT OUR LIVE RELEASE RATE FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST AT AN 89%.

90% OF OUR DOGS DID LEAVE AT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DID HAVE A LIVE RELEASE OF 90% FOR OUR DOGS, 87% FOR OUR CATS DUE TO THOSE, UH, COUPLE OF DEATHS.

AND THEN A HUNDRED PERCENT FOR ALL OF OUR OTHER ANIMALS THAT LEFT THE SHELTER.

WE DID 87 DISPATCH ASSIGNMENTS.

THREE BIKE CASES WERE INVESTIGATED ALL AGAIN IN PUBLIC.

NONE OF OUR STAFF ARE BEING INVOLVED WITH THOSE.

AND, UM, A COUPLE CRUELTY CASES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT STILL.

AND, UH, SEVERAL ADOPTION EVENTS THAT WE HOSTED THROUGHOUT THE MONTH AS WELL.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, HOW MANY ANIMALS? UH, I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT I'M GOING TO ASK IT ANYWAY.

HOW MANY ANIMALS THAT WERE NOT SICK OR INJURED THAT WERE EUTHANIZED? ZERO.

ZERO.

AND THAT'S WHAT, UH, I'D LIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PRESS ON THAT BECAUSE TO ME THAT'S A HUNDRED PERCENT NO KILL.

ANYWAY, WE'LL SEE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS.

UH, FELIX, JUST, UH, GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU AROUND.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, STEVE.

THANKS FOR YOUR UPDATES.

BUT WE'RE HOPEFULLY WORKING WITH OTHER PARTNERS TO BRING SOME KIND OF SPAY NEW OPPORTUNITIES BACK TO THE, TO THE CITY SOON.

YEAH, I THINK THE NUMBER'S STILL GOOD DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES, SO YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

THANK YOU RICHARD.

UM, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

UM, DO YOU KNOW ANY, ANY MORE EVENTS OF ANY MORE NEUTERING EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP? UH, ANY OF THE LARGE SCALE NEUTERING EVENTS? UM, THOSE AREN'T NECESSARILY PLANNED BY US.

UM, I KNOW THE COUNTY HAS A BIG PULL ON THOSE BECAUSE IT IS A LARGE ORGANIZATION, SO WE KIND OF FALL IN WITH THEM IF THEY DO HOST THOSE EVENTS.

I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY COMING UP ANYTIME SOON,

[00:40:01]

GEORGE, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I I DID HAVE ONE THING.

YES SIR.

UM, A COUPLE RESIDENTS ASKED ME IF YOU, ARE YOU GONNA HAVE ADOPTIONS THERE AT THE BOOGEYMAN BASH? I DON'T.

DID YOU HAVE THAT LAST YEAR? NO.

BOOGIEMAN BASH, WE DON'T NORMALLY ATTEND.

THAT'S AN INDOOR EVENT, IS IT NOT? OH, THAT'S OUTDOOR, RIGHT? RIGHT THERE AT DOWNTOWN.

OH, NO, NO, NO.

WE DO NOT.

BUT WE WILL BE AT THE TRUNK OR TREAT.

SO TRUNK TREAT.

AND THEN I KNOW THEY, THEY ASKED ME WOULD YOU DRESS EM UP IF WE GET COSTUMES AVAILABLE FOR 'EM? YES.

WE, WE, WE DO HAVE A STOCK OF COSTUMES.

SO YOU'LL BE SEEING A LOT OF ANIMALS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA POST.

IT WASN'T MY QUESTION.

IT WAS THEIR QUESTION.

THREE, HOLD EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DELIBERATE THE POTENTIAL PURCHASE EXCHANGE, LEASE OR VALUE OF REAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 5 1 0.072 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE TO DELIBERATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEGOTIATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 5 1 0.07, I'M SORRY, 0.087 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.

WE WE WILL DRESS THEM UP IF THAT'S WHAT THE CROWD WOULD LOVE.

WELL I THINK THE IDEA IS DRESS THEM UP.

MAYBE SOMEONE WILL ADOPT .

RIGHT.

WE GOT PLENTY OF THEM.

MM-HMM .

SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE, THE BIG AUGUST EVENT DOWNTOWN HOUSTON? THEY DIDN'T DO IT THIS YEAR.
