First Reading of Ordinance 2014-15. Possible action. (Public Hearings held July 28 and 29, 2014; Staffed by Planning and Code Enforcement Department.) Attachment. The City Manager stated there are eight tracts proposed for annexation with less than

Weslaco City Commission Regular Meeting

Page 16 September 16, 2014

100 properties per tract. He explained that the City is not required to annex all eight tracts, but upon annexation, soft services must be made available immediately and hard services within two-and-a-half years; staff’s recommendation is to annex only tracts 1-6. Tracts 1-3, located south of Mile 10 North, would fill the lollipops; Tract 4 is located just west of Westgate Drive; and Tracts 5 and 6 are just north of Mile 12. He noted tracts 7 and 8 could be annexed as well, but response times would need to be further considered for that area. In response to the City Manager, Mr. Mardoqueo Hinojosa stated that assumptions on the return on investment include a 2% population growth with a multiplier of 3.5 people per home. Tract 4 incurs the cost of a new lift station, of approximately $2 million; Tracts 4-8 would share the cost for providing a new public safety station in that area to ultimately provide better response times. Commissioner Fox recommended creating a memorandum of understanding with the Sheriff’s Department in that area to provide services to the residents within tracts 7 and 8. Commissioner Pena requested the costs of hard services for all tracts. Commissioner Tafolla, seconded Commissioner Rivera, moved to approve Ordinance 2014-15 annexing a maximum of 1,253.74 acres of land, identified as Tracts 1-8, into the City of Weslaco, located in Hidalgo County, Texas, which is contiguous to the city limits and hereinafter described; as shown in the attached exhibit; making findings of fact; providing a severability clause; providing an effective date; and providing for open meetings and other related matters.

To Whom It May Concern: The 3rd annual Journey of Faith 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run event will raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer. The funds will benefit the Hope in Joy Foundation. The event will take place on Sunday, November 9, 2014 at 7:30 am at Harlon Block Sports Complex in Weslaco, Texas. The event will end no later than 11 am. Hope in Joy was created by Aryanna Joy Rodriguez to bring HOPE to children and their families battling cancer through the JOY of receiving blankets, toys, snacks, crafts, playtime and encouragement. Aryanna Joy is a spunky, loving 4 year old that was diagnosed with a rare Myxoid Sarcoma tumor in her nasal cavity and upper palate in March of 2012. We want this to be an event that gives the community of Weslaco an opportunity to be part of. Our city has many children who are battling this disease and this is a chance to show our support, to become aware and to help our families. We will need support from our city, our police department and our paramedics. Come for exercise and be aware that kids get cancer too! We look forward to seeing you there! Thank you, Myra Hough Heroes of Faith

Agenda Item No. (to be assigned by CSO): IV.G From (name, title, department and who submitting on behalf of, if any): Arnoldo Becho, Library Director Subject: Request for permission to reapply and renew the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) grant for FY 2014-2015, to accept funds upon award throughout the year, to provide local matching funds so long as these funds do not exceed 25% of the total granted amount in each instance and do not exceed $700 total annually, and to allow the Mayor to execute any associated documents throughout the year. Discussion: Reading is Fundamental was massively recently and the application process is now drastically different. Instead of their being a standard annual application process, RIF is now much more subject to the whims of donors. The window to accept funds is very small and institutions must react quickly to attain funding. The above proposed standards would allow the library to react quickly and accept grant funds throughout the year, but the proposed standards will also limit expenditures associated to $700 annually and would not authorize participation if the match required was greater than 25% of the total granted amount. RIF is a beneficial grant for community kids, these measures create a regulated way to ensure we continue to receive funding.
