It's been a while, but time demands as well as staying within the laws of the Open Meetings Act make it difficult to write this blog. It's also less fun when professionalism and respect for other councilmen limit my "snarkiness".
However, Monday evening's events were important enough to write a quick post about the bond election.
Council was considering calling for a bond election in November for a bond package in the neighborhood of $60,000,000. That's about triple our current operating budget just for a point of reference.
Americans Cut Spending for First Time in 20 Months
10 Signs the Double-Dip Recession Has Begun
Rhode Island's Central Falls Files for Bankruptcy
Is Rockwall about to file bankruptcy? No.
Is Rockwall in financial trouble? No.
Are we meeting our debt service and other bills? Yes.
Do we want to continue on a path of sound financial stewardship? Enfer Oui. Pardon my French.
Our unanimous vote of council said now is not the time, not that never is not the time.
We voted to delay holding the vote to call for the election until January. We will also conduct a financial review to see if it makes sense to call for a May election on this bond package.
A lot can happen. We hope it will get better, but if it doesn't?
It is also important to note that if the bond election passes, we would not be responsible for any debt - immediately.
We only start paying on debt service when we issue the bonds to pay for the individual projects.
None of these issues are dead, merely delayed.

Rockwall City Council 1 November
The World Series kept the meeting short, luckily preventing the amount of damage our council could do.
Too bad we don't have a World Series more often.
Note. Certain thin-skinned folk had their feelings hurt from comments on my last blog. To prevent that happening this time, I will omit their name in this blog. I will not mention which councilman in order to prevent embarrassment.
Mayor Bill Cecil and Councilman Mark Russo absent.
III. Proclamations.
1. Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.
Councilman David Sweet presented the proclamation to a couple citizens who have lost family to pancreatic cancer. Both are involved with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
3. Animal Shelter Appreciation Week.
Councilman Cliff Sevier presented the city's proclamation to the city to let all citizens in the city know what a great job the city does. The city gracefully accepted it's own proclamation.
2. Herb Moltzan Appreciation Week.
Mayor Pro Tem ____ _____ presented the proclamation to Herb Moltzan who served on the Parks Board for 10 years. Mayor Pro Tem ____ _____ served with Mr Moltzan for 3 years on the Parks Board.
IV. Open Forum.
Nothing.
V. Consent Agenda.
None Pulled.
VI. Appointments.
1. Rockwall County Committee on Aging. Gave the annual report showing lots of meal on wheels were handed out. They also need the city to give them $21,500. Councilwoman Margo Nielsen made the motion, which passed 5-0.
VII. Action Items.
1. Continued discussion of directional signs for downtown. The city staff rejected Councilman Sevier's suggestion of teaming with National Sign Plazas as the free signs now cost $3500 each. The city staff proposes to do signs in-house at a cost of about $500 each.
A brief discussion as how more signs will improve the city, contradicting previous statements by council that "sign pollution" was the 2nd greatest blight on the city of Rockwall. (Lake Rockwall Estates being the first, of course), led to a motion to have the Main Street committee look into sign needs for downtown.
Surprisingly, Mayor Pro Tem ____ _____, who normally hates sign pollution more than he hated being mocked in a previous blog, was silent on the issue of more pole signs in the city.
I guess it's ok to clutter the city with signs, so long as the city is the one doing it.
2. Rockwall Kennel Club is a new PR program by the city that automatically enrolls you as a member when you adopt an animal from the city pound.
3. Council got to spend some money to plan and promote the upcoming $60,000,000 (my estimate) bond election. During a recession. With 10% unemployment. And predicted inflation. And record high foreclosures.
Wat coud posibly go wrond?
4. A Christmas Market will be held on San Jacinto during the Christmas Parade on Dec 4, permit needed to close the road.
5. Cranky guy who complained about a wall between his house and the new apartments on Yellow Jacket got a compromise. The wall will be masonry, then tubular steel - by the trees he didn't want destroyed- then masonry again.
Adjourned just shy of 7pm! Short meetings are possible, but only because Rangers trump talking to hear one's own voice.

Rockwall City Council 17 May
Only action from Executive Session was to appoint someone to North Texas Water District Board.
III. Proclamations.
1. Safe Boating Week. Our city emblem is a boat. We live next to a lake full of boats. There are tons of private docks on the lake for boats. We invested in the boat launch at 66. We have several private marinas. Rockwall seems to be boat friendly, right?
Did you know if you have a boat the city government doesn't want to see it?
C. Storage of Vehicles. On lots less than five (5) acres, trailers, motor homes,
trucks (greater than 1.5-ton capacity), camper cabins, non-street legal
motorcycles (including all-terrain vehicles, dirt or moto-cross bikes , or similar
type vehicles) boats, farm machinery, or similar equipment, excluding golf
carts, shall not be parked or stored on any residential or agricultural lot or the
adjacent street except when in conformance with the following provisions:
1. Such equipment shall be located beside or behind the primary structure
and back from the nearest corner of the front façade of the house a
minimum of 10 feet, (if such equipment is 6 feet or less in height, the 10
feet minimum setback shall not apply), and
2. On lots less than one and one/half (1.5) acres shall be screened from
view of public street rights-of-way with a minimum 6-foot solid fence or
equivalent landscaping, and
3. On lots less than one and one/half (1.5) acres, equipment taller than 8
feet above grade shall respect a 3 foot setback from all side and rear
property lines; and
4. If located on a lot which is less than one and one/half (1.5) acres, it shall
be parked on an approved surface of concrete, asphalt or stabilized
gravel.
You can have a boat, but don't let anyone see it (except on the water)!
Anyways, the US Coast Guard Auxiliary was present to talk about boating safety. Lake Ray Hubbard is one accident away from becoming Lake Lewisville!
IV. Consent Agenda. No items pulled. All pass 7-0.
V. Appointments.
1. P&Z Chairman Michael Hunter noted that the upcoming Public Hearing item passed with P&Z approval 7-0.
2. Stephen Straughn the new head of Rockwall Boys and Girls club wants a rental fee waiver for an upcoming event at the Harbor. (This came up at last meeting to waive fees for civic group events. It was also mentioned by Mr Straughn that it was an issue brought to council when he was on council a few years ago, and noted that Margo Nielsen supported the idea. I am guessing that the idea did not pass, or he would not be here asking now. What was his vote then? Just wondering.)
The amount being asked to have waived is $800.
Margo Nielsen made a motion to approve.
Passes unanimously 7-0. A few points to consider.
Quote from Glen Farris November 26, 2009: "I am appalled at The Rockwall News and the Boys and Girls Club of Rockwall for implying that the City of Rockwall should give up economic development opportunities and bail out a nonprofit organization. It is not the responsibility of any City to ensure that non-profits thrive or even survive. The Rockwall County Kiwanis (of which I am a member) just gave the B&G club $1,500.00. I have supported the organization in the past through Leadership Rockwall and attending their functions. Other Council members have been board members in the past. As a reward the Rockwall City Council and the City of Rockwall gets slammed by a website and others for not bailing them out. My support ends here."
Well maybe it ends after he votes to waive (read: give) $800 to the Boys and Girls Club.
Second point, alcohol will be sold at this event for children that will be attended by children at this park (and a park by another name is still a park, don't shovel that "Outdoor Entertainment Area" stuff this way.)
Why didn't councilmen Sweet and Scott voice disapproval at alcohol sales at this park as they did to a 7-11 which will only be selling alcohol near a park? Not even one peep about alcohol possibly contributing to the delinquency of minors in attendance.
3. Presentation of the Parks and Open Space Plan aka World Is In Financial Crisis, But To Hell With That, Let's Spend Some Money Plan.
City has a good number of parks. People like parks. Heck, I like parks. People want parks. But, a few folks want a Sports Complex. In fact they go so far as to say we need a Sports Complex. Kinda like the way I need a 1956 Porche 550 Spyder.
Data from the 2008 citizen survey was presented. The wants of the citizens don't seem to match the needs stated by some council and the consultant.
What citizens want:
1. Jogging Trails 91%
2. More Parks 81%
3. Performing Arts Center 80%
4. Nature Center 78%
5. More Big Parks 77%
6. Dalton Road Park 76%
7. Sports Complex 69%
8. Spray Grounds 64%
9. Water Park 63%
10. Dog Park 63%
11. Pool 58%
The claim was made that many of those priorities would be met with #6 being built and implying that the Sports Complex should be our focus.
The oft-interrupted power point presentation ended with a summary of the priorities and costs (of which I am only showing high end of estimates given because this is government):
1. Northshore Park - $200,000
2. Acquire land (200 acres) for Sports Complex - $15,000,000
3. Acquire 50 acres for a south Rockwall Park
4. Caruth Lake - $3,250,000
5. Trails and linking trails - $550,000 per mile
Lots of questions by council during and after the presentation.
I suspect much of the presentation and many questions were prepared by these guys:

Motion to approve the plan passed 6-1, Mayor Cecil opposed.
The Mayor then tried to move on to the next item, but was asked by Councilman Scott "if he (Mr Scott) missed something" to explain the Mayor's vote. Mayor Cecil stated he voted the way he voted. After being pressed again by Councilman Scott, the Mayor stated he did not have to justify his vote to Mr Scott.
VI. Public Hearings.
1. A Honda dealership wants to open in Rockwall, but is having difficulties with the franchise process. The developer needs an extension on an SUP, so that when the issue is resolved, construction can begin.
The staff recommendation is to add language to force the dealership to do that which they had planned to do voluntarily, namely construct a LEED Gold building.
Some council considered not extending the SUP because this "valuable real estate" is being tied up and it could be used for something else. I am sure that if any of those council members made a reasonable offer to personally purchase that land, the developer might consider selling it to them. Of course, none did.
SUP approved for another year 7-0.
VII. Action Items.
2. Fella from last time that wants all his land in one ETJ or the other, preferably McClendom-Chishom's than Rocwkall's.
Glen Farris asked if any land swap negotiations were done or if the land was just outright being removed from Rockwall ETJ and given to McClendom-Chisholm; none were and yes to the latter.
3. Sign covers from last meeting brought up. Last time everyone voted to approve, this time everyone opposed.
No one from council was yelled at by other council members for changing their vote due to not being smart enough or diligent enough to investigate the issue before hand. (It's happened before!!)
4. Changes to the Youth Advisory Council. Glen's idea: If kids from cities that go to RISD schools want to participate in City of Rockwall sponsored YAC, the other cities will pay for their residents' involvement.
Motion was made and passed to have Glen talk to other mayor's in RISD to talk about paying for their residents to participate in City of Rockwall YAC.
(Off note: Matt Scott noted his property evaluation being down, David Sweet made a joke Matt's mere presence in the neighborhood was the reason. This got a great chuckle, but all I could think was, "Mayor's race starting early!"
From this point it should be considered that the property evaluations are down city-wide. This means less tax money for the city. Combine that thought with the expensive park plan when you vote on the multi-million dollar luxury bonds next year.)
1. Last item was to schedule some work sessions. Many conflicts, no resolutions. Stay tuned.
