Conservation Code, including removing several commercial energy provisions that have
created development hurdles and adding clarity to shading and efficiency calculations.
The presentation also outlined the City's required adoption of the 2026 National Electrical
Code to remain aligned with state law and maintain uninterrupted plan review processes.
Ms. Martinez reviewed next steps, including ordinance preparation, City Council
consideration, and subsequent updates to public-facing guidance and development
portals.
3. DISCUSS ADOPTION OF THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY
MAINTENANCE CODE AND AMENDMENTS
Managing Director of Community Services Stefanie Martinez provided an overview of
staffs proposal to adopt the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC),
which establishes minimum building and maintenance standards to protect public health,
safety, and property values. The presentation highlighted that the IPMC is widely used
nationally and can be customized to meet local needs, helping ensure consistency
across nuisance, solid waste, minimum standards, and graffiti ordinances. Core
standards include structural safety, sanitation, fire protection, pest control, and uniform
expectations for both exterior and interior property conditions, many of which align with
existing city codes. Ms. Martinez outlined proposed updates within relevant ordinance
chapters and emphasized that adoption would not create new fees or penalties, as
enforcement would continue through existing administrative processes. She reviewed a
phased implementation roadmap and next steps, including legal review, public education,
stakeholder engagement, and final adoption procedures.
4. DISCUSS LEGAL GUIDELINES FOR GOVERNMENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN
BOND ELECTION ADVOCACY.
City Attorney Bradley Anderle outlined state requirements governing how the City, staff,
and City Council may communicate about the bond election, emphasizing that public
funds cannot be used for political advertising. City Council was reminded that
communications may only provide factual information about the measures and must not
advocate for or against their passage. Examples of statements previously deemed
advocacy by the Texas Ethics Commission were reviewed to clarify prohibited language.
The presentation also noted that individual advocacy by staff or City Council members is
permitted only when no City resources are used. Finally, Mr. Anderle highlighted that
City Council meeting discussions must remain strictly factual because meetings are
broadcast using public funds.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEM(S)
There were no requests from City Council for future agenda items.

APPROVED
Assistant City Manager Trudy Lewis presented an overview of the City's current payment
processing structure, noting that nine processors are used across eight departments and
that fees for card and electronic payments total approximately $666,200 annually, most of
which is currently absorbed by the City. The presentation included comparisons with
neighboring cities and detailed the rising costs driven primarily by Utility Billing, which
processes the highest volume of electronic payments. Staff outlined a proposed cost
recovery approach that would allow the City to recoup electronic payment processing
fees-up to a maximum of 5%-without generating surplus revenue and while still offering
fee-free payment alternatives. The updated Resolution 2026-051 expands cost recovery
to include all electronic payment methods, preventing an additional $92,000 expense to
the Utility Billing budget in FY2027. City Council was informed of upcoming customer
notifications, new online forms to streamline bank draft enrollment, and instances where
certain processing fees will still be absorbed due to vendor limitations. The
implementation timeline includes City Council consideration tonight, customer
notifications through early September, departmental coordination during September, and
full program activation on October 1.
