REGULAR AGENDA

Agreement Between the Sanger Texas Development Corporation and the City of
Sanger Providing for the Construction of a 3,200 Square Feet Picnic Pavilion at
the John Porter Park at a Cost Not to Exceed $85,000.
Jim Berman, Director of Parks and Recreation was recognized. He summarized that
Tatum Whitewood came to the 4B Development Corporation and made her presentation
for the Pavilion. The only way we could do the project is if it became a city project. The
reason why the amount is different than her funding request is that in the event that she
walked away from the project, we would have to finish it. There was a Public Hearing
Held on April 17th and there was no opposition to the project. The 4B Development
Corporation approved the project and forwarded it to Council. According to Section 505
of the Texas Local Government Code we have to have two readings of the Resolution
and tonight would be the first reading. Councilman Bilyeu noted for the record that
Tatum Whitewood, through her hard work and donations, was able to get the amount
for the Pavilion to just under $56,000.
Mayor Muir read Resolution #06-06-18 in its entirety as the required first reading:

RESOLUTION #06-07-18
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANGER, TEXAS,
APPROVING CONSIDERATION OF GRANT GUIDELINES AND GRANT
APPLICATION FOR THE SANGER TEXAS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Jim Berman, Director of Parks and Recreation was recognized. He advised that when
Tatum Whitewood went before the 4B Development Corporation with her project, it was
discovered that the 4B Development Corporation did not have a procedure to do
community grants. The Board wanted to establish a grant program so this Resolution
is to establish grant guidelines and an application process. The 4B Development
Corporation approved this resolution at the April 17th meeting. Once the Resolution is
in place, the Board will have to budget for it and also advertise that it is available. He
advised that the guidelines note the types of projects, scheduling and review process
for grants and the 4B Board will set priorities. Acting City Manager, Alina Ciocan noted
that the 4B Board is very conservative with the direction they want to take with their
funding. Tatum Whitewood’s project opened their eyes that there may be an opportunity
for such grants; and, that they did not have a process in place. This will set up the
process. It was noted that $10,000 is their threshold. Councilman Bilyeu noted that the
there were some discrepancies in the Sanger Texas Development Corporation name
and acronyms (STDC) the Grant Agreement and staff noted the Scribner’s errors would
be corrected.

RESOLUTION #06-8-18
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANGER, TEXAS
APPOINTING MEMBERS TO THE FIRE CODE BOARD OF APPEALS; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Acting City Manager, Alina Ciocan advised that when we adopted the 2012 International
Fire Code, we in essence created a board. To this point we have not appointed anyone
to the board; however, we recently have been challenged on an interpretation of the
code for one of our projects. We are appointing members to the board and per the
International Fire Code the members have to have knowledge, training and expertise to
issue on matters related to fire. Board members would not have to live in the city limits
because they are required to have the knowledge and expertise to rule on the matters ;
and, they cannot be employees of the jurisdiction. Mayor Muir noted the experience that
was on the applications for the board members. Councilman Clark questioned how long
the board members would hold the position on the board. Ms. Ciocan noted that she
initially had a term limit on the resolution and after review by the City Attorney he stated
that based on the Fire Code that the board members serve at the pleasure of Council.
Council may appoint them on a two-year basis like any other board. The same rules
apply as any other board. They will meet as needed.
A motion was made by Councilman Bilyeu to approve Resolution # 06 -08-18 –
Appointing Members to the Fire Code Board of Appeals and Providing for an Effective
