Jeremy Carter, Traffic Engineer, explained the police department brought the request from the Ken Rock Community Center, which runs programs for up to 100 children crossing the street to the park. The Traffic Commission is also considering a mid-block crossing. Aldermen Torina and Bell asked clarifying questions. 3. 23rd Street / 9th Avenue / 10th Avenue – Residential Parking Permits Repeal (Item 26-01168) - Approved: Repeal the “Residential Parking Permits Zone” on 23rd Street from 9th Avenue to 10th Avenue. 4.

Ald. Prunty noted she requested this based on constituent concerns. 5. 910 20th Avenue – Impervious Surface Variation (Item 26-01080) - Approved: Grant a variation to increase the maximum impervious surface ratio from 50% to 64% (from 1,450 sq ft to 1,613 sq ft) to allow a 168 sq ft house addition on a 2,900 sq ft lot in an R-2 district. Ald. Bonne noted staff recommended denial because the request exceeded the allowance by 13 sq ft, but the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval. The committee approved unanimously. 6. 1810 and 1818 Morgan Street – Zoning Map Amendment and Special Use Permit for Trucking (Item 26-01082) - Approved: Rezone from R-1 to I-1 and grant a special use permit for a trucking company with outdoor storage for ten semi-trucks and trailers.

Ald. Torina expressed excitement about the business expanding in the 5th Ward and noted the owners run the “best tacos in Rockford.” 8. 310 North Alpine Road – Denial of Package Liquor and Tobacco Sales (Item 26-01088) - Sustained the Liquor and Tobacco Advisory Board’s recommendation to deny a convenience store’s applications for package liquor (Class PKG) and tobacco sales. Scott Capovilla, Planning and Zoning Manager, stated the proposed use was inappropriate for a family-oriented shopping center and the business plan appeared to be a liquor store. Ald. Bonne noted the revised application still indicated large liquor sales.

Key Outcomes - All nine committee reports were approved or sustained by unanimous votes. - Conditions were attached to items 6 and 9 as noted above. - The committee took formal positions supporting the Traffic Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Liquor and Tobacco Advisory Board recommendations.

Police District Capital Improvements Update (Leopardo) - Heather Garay, Eric Betts, Drake Wallers, and Mark Dulick presented a quarterly update on a 10-month, roughly $21 million program to upgrade all five police district buildings. Construction was reported near completion and scheduled to finish in October 2026. - Work was performed on all districts simultaneously. It included new boilers, HVAC equipment, LED lighting, solar panels, locker room and bathroom renovations, ceilings, floors, exterior facades, tuck-pointing, windows, doors, and a new District 5 roof with a 30-year warranty. - The project reportedly came in under budget in some areas, allowing additional scope. The team reported 376 local jobs created and said OEO participation requirements were exceeded. - Procurement savings included conversion of copper telecom lines to VoIP, saving over $6.8 million annually; police shooting target and apparel savings; and $1.1 million in further identified savings targets such as fuel, tire disposal, rental vehicles, and disposal supplies. - Energy savings were projected at 1.2 million kWh annually, about $120,000 per year, with a projected $435,000 solar tax credit and estimated annual CO2 reduction of 1.2 million pounds. - The police director said the improved facilities would help officer retention and hiring. Council members praised the work; Councilman Casey reported rust reappearing on repainted lockers, and Leopardo agreed to evaluate and clean up the issue. Ordinance 688-2026 as amended - NEORSD Big Creek Storage Tunnel Easements - Representatives from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District described the Big Creek Storage Tunnel, the seventh CSO storage tunnel in Project Clean Lake: more than four miles of 20-foot diameter tunnel 50 to 100 feet below ground, expected to reduce combined sewer overflows to Big Creek by 550 million gallons per year. - The ordinance granted easements at Emory and Estherbrook Parks and added amendments allocating $220,400 in Emory easement proceeds and $56,400 in Estherbrook proceeds to park improvements, and authorizing acceptance of a $450,000 cash gift from NEORSD to fund Emory Park improvements. - Councilman Casey raised concerns about 27 new utility poles along West 130th Street and stated the bill would not pass in the utilities committee unless pole placement and removal commitments were resolved. Councilman Jones asked about methane and other gas releases from tunneling and requested data plus review by the city's air quality officials. Ordinance 1033-2026 as amended - Public Works Vehicle and Equipment Purchases - The annual purchase authorization covered on-road vehicles, off-road equipment, cabs, bodies, and accessories for the Department of Public Works, largely for the streets/asphalt program and recreation operations, including a Zamboni.

The ordinance was approved as amended. Ordinance 1043-2026 as amended - Temporary and Seasonal Personnel Contracts - This annual authorization would allow Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Finance to use an RFP to select temporary employment agencies for seasonal and temporary personnel.

Councilman Casey's amendment requiring selection of any vendor with legislative authority, meaning return to council before selection, was adopted.

Ordinance 931-2026 - Cleveland Browns Stadium Emergency Repairs - The legislation sought reimbursement of about $1.12 million to the Cleveland Browns Stadium Company for emergency capital repairs already completed at Huntington Bank Field, including sanitary pipe repair, sewer ejector pump failures, failed pipe insulation, overhead door repair, concrete and joint repairs, and arc flash device replacement. - Administration staff said the repairs were required under the 1998 stadium lease and were confirmed by Osborne Engineering and city inspections. - Councilman Harsh called the repairs essential for a city-owned facility open to the public. Councilwoman Hudson opposed reimbursement, citing the relocation clause and the Browns' and Jimmy Haslam's wealth. A council member called the stadium deal the worst in city history and requested a full stadium tour. Councilman Shaw opposed, questioned why billionaire owners should receive taxpayer funds, and requested the law director's advice on consequences of refusal. - Haslam Sports Group representatives Phil Dangerfield and Greg Rush declined to answer questions outside the capital repair request. - The chair held the ordinance without a vote. Councilman Jones requested a legal analysis of an allegedly broken contract, a projection of ongoing stadium maintenance costs, and a timeline for the stadium transition. Key Outcomes - Leopardo's police district construction is expected to be completed by October 2026; locker rust concern is to be addressed and tours of completed facilities were offered. - Ordinance 688-2026 as amended was approved.

The meeting included a work session on the Commercial Drone Delivery Ordinance with a live Zipline demonstration at the H-E-B drone operations site, an executive session, a consent agenda, two public hearings, citizen comments, and council and staff comments. Recognition - Bernadette McCranie, Director of Communications and Outreach, recognized the Communications team for winning four awards from the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMIO) and the City-County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA), including the Award of Honor for best program in video for "Road Scholars," TAMIO's highest level and a national Silver Circle for the "Behind the Desk" photography campaign, and the Savvy Award—the highest national award—for "Council Chat." Work Session: Commercial Drone Delivery Ordinance - The Council relocated to the H-E-B drone operations site (1670 E. Broad Street) for a live Zipline demonstration, touring the staging area and kiosk with Zipline representative Hector Soliman-Valdez, then reconvened at City Hall at 1:54 p.m. (The meeting adjourned for the field trip at 1:11 p.m.) - Clayton Comstock, Executive Director of Planning and Development, reviewed the ordinance history: City Council direction in April, three Planning and Zoning Commission sessions, and a first reading on July 27. - Zipline's Mansfield site operates approximately 36 drones at capacity, with about one-third currently active; average delivery time is about 15 minutes, with roughly four deliveries per hour per drone, and a range of about five miles out (10 miles round trip), suggesting two to three hubs could cover Mansfield. - Zipline representatives stated operations are automated, with two air traffic control centers (North Carolina and South San Francisco) and deconfliction devices on all drones, and that drone delivery eliminates traditional delivery vehicles and associated traffic. - Council Member Bounds asked about generator noise buffering; staff noted no current ordinance language on sound buffers for ground equipment, and she suggested reviewing the city's gas well ordinance standards for temporary generators. - Council members requested volume and trip data from Zipline to estimate traffic reductions; Zipline representatives said they would provide follow-up data. - Council directed staff to require Specific Use Permit (SUP) approval for all Commercial Drone Delivery Hubs and Kiosks, including facilities otherwise considered accessory to an existing use; increase the allowable kiosk area to approximately the size of one parking space (about 160 square feet, up from 64 square feet); incorporate maximum noise standards and a sound study as part of SUP review; and further address temporary generator noise. The proposed separation distances of 300 feet for hubs and 150 feet for kiosks from noise-sensitive uses were discussed as baseline standards to be considered through the SUP process. - The City Manager summarized the direction as SUP-only for both hubs and kiosks until more operational data is available, and staff was directed to incorporate the Council's direction into the ordinance for consideration at second reading. Consent Agenda Discussion (Work Session) - Luke Goralski, Assistant Director of Engineering Services – Capital Projects, presented three utility items. The 48-inch water line condition assessment (26-2733, $86,500 with Kimley-Horn and Associates) addresses a roughly 40-year-old critical pipe that has never been inspected and is nearing its assumed 50-year lifespan. The 30-inch Transmission Main Phase 2 (26-2746, $5,322,799.69 with L.G. Spades Construction, LLC and Raba Kistner, Inc.) extends capacity for future growth and wholesale customers, including Johnson County Special Utility District (currently about 9 million gallons per day, increasing to over 20 million) and Mountain Peak Special Utility District (about 2 million gallons per day). The OSHG (On Site Hypochlorite Generation) Building and Equipment design amendment (26-2759, $315,608 with Plummer and Associates) supports a new modular system using three 2,400-pound units to meet the same production threshold previously served by four 1,500-pound units. - Troy Lestina, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer, presented the Bloomfield Homes Chapter 380 renewal (26-2750). Over the past four and a half years, the agreement generated $400,000 in sales tax, with the builder receiving 80 percent of the 1 percent general fund share (about $150,000), leaving a net of about $250,000 to the city. Bloomfield has roughly 100 remaining lots (36 Somerset, 10 Rockwell, 68 Lone Star Phase 3), and mortgage rates near 7 percent have slowed homebuilding. - Casey Lewis, Executive Project Manager, presented: - 26-2763: Second Amendment to the High Five Mansfield PropCo, LLC agreement—an administrative amendment clarifying timelines and acreage after a Small Business Administration audit took 182 days; the building is 80 percent complete; certificate of occupancy required by June 30, 2027; base tax year set at 2028; a parking agreement to be executed before the end of 2026; no financial terms changed. - 26-2770: Go ECM, Inc. incentive—a computer chip module manufacturer and remanufacturer relocating its corporate headquarters from Grand Prairie to 2401 N. Highway 287 (former Mauser headquarters); 60 full-time employees by December 2027, increasing to 70 by 2028 and 90 by 2029; average salary $70,000 with several over $120,000; a $300,000 reimbursable Mansfield Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) grant for fire suppression, fire lanes, facade, and landscaping improvements, payable only after improvements are completed (expected 2028). - 26-2774: Housing Channel Chapter 380 agreement—not a cash grant; provides up to 50 percent fee waivers for eligible impact and building fees at Hunt Street and 2nd Street, south of downtown, similar to the prior Habitat for Humanity project. Executive Session - The Council recessed into executive session at 3:35 p.m. (called to order at 3:42 p.m., recessed at 6:00 p.m.) under Texas Government Code Sections 551.071, 551.072, 551.074, and 551.087 to discuss attorney advice on zoning and land use regulations related to alcoholic beverage sales and the November 2024 special election, due-diligence and background-check standards for economic development incentives, legal issues pertaining to economic development projects, land acquisitions (including Project 26-06), City Attorney employment and duties, board appointments, and Economic Development Projects 21-33, 22-24, 26-05, and 26-07. Public Comments & Testimony - Ambika Sharma (7736 Whisterwheel Way, Fort Worth) discussed Tarrant County Appraisal District property tax calculations, stating that the August 12 chief appraiser report showed homes up to $200,000 were appraised at 106 percent while homes above $1 million were appraised at 71 percent, calling this a constitutional violation. She noted that more than 50 percent of Tarrant County taxing entities have had to increase tax rates, praised Mansfield for not increasing the rate and for adopting the maximum 20 percent homestead exemption, and announced her candidacy for Tarrant Appraisal District Place 2. - Cheryl Litke (1331 Breckenridge Road) expressed concerns about the Parkside townhome community, comparing the approved renderings to the finished product and citing a lack of articulation, minimal facade variety, single building materials, painted aluminum garage doors, and a "trash-filled detention pond" instead of the planned water feature. She urged the Council to hold developers accountable, referencing a prior lot-split approval that she said caused neighbor flooding. - Dr. Elizabeth Eb nchenge (2906 Woodleigh Drive), speaking as an individual, announced that the Czechia National Football Team donated an autographed 2026 FIFA World Cup soccer ball and an autographed team photograph to the Mansfield Historic Museum, commemorating the team's stay at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium. Council Comments - Council Member Vaszauskas expressed strong opposition to moving the Mansfield Independent School District Board of Trustees to single-member districts, citing three reasons: the division it has brought to the board, a shift in trustee accountability from the entire district to a single district, and Mansfield's status as a high-performing district (all A-rated high schools with 93 or higher rankings). He requested that the City Council create a Resolution opposing single-member districts. - Council Member Simmons requested updates from the city's public-private partnerships (Stadium 063, Field House, Star Center, Mansfield National Golf Course, and Hawaiian Falls) at an upcoming City Council meeting. - Mayor Evans expressed strong opposition to single-member districts, stating that "we are better together," and voiced support for a Resolution opposing the change. Staff Comments - Raymond Coffman, Director of Engineering Services, provided construction updates. Heritage Parkway Improvements: most new eastbound main lane pavement is complete; a traffic switch is planned in about two weeks (weather permitting) to open two eastbound lanes, with two westbound lanes expected in November, followed by sidewalks, utilities, median lighting, and final restoration. E. Broad Street Improvements: Phase 1 (one lane eastbound, two lanes westbound) is anticipated through December; Phase 2 will open two lanes in each direction beginning in early 2027, with the current traffic pattern and schedules posted on the city website. Council Member Fresquez raised driver-safety concerns about red-light running and lane blocking; Coffman said police have been assisting with speeding enforcement.

The Council voted 7-0 to table the item. (Note: the transcript indicates Council Member Bounds made the motion, while the minutes record Council Member Vaszauskas as the mover; both show the motion passed 7-0.) Public Hearing and Second Reading: ZC26-002 – Trez Shops at Broad Package Store (Approved) - The Council considered a request by Trez Shops at Broad, LP to rezone 15.8 acres at 1741 and 1755 E. Broad Street and 101 Carlin Road from PD and C-2 Community Business District to PD for commercial uses and a package store. The applicant proposed a 22,000-square-foot package store and 53,000 square feet of additional retail across four out-parcel buildings (Building 1: 8,400 sq ft; Building 2: 8,800 sq ft along Carlin; Building 3: 8,100 sq ft along Broad; Building 4: 8,400 sq ft). - Clayton Comstock noted the October 2024 package store ordinance requires package stores to be within a PD district with a minimum floor area of 25,000 square feet, with deviations subject to City Council approval, and that voters approved Proposition A in the November 2024 special election with 65 percent support for the legal sale of all alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0, and the first reading passed 5-2 on September 14. - Applicant representative John Weber stated the prospective tenant's new prototype is 22,000 square feet and that the tenant very much wants to be in Mansfield; Weber said he is "stuck in a hard place" between the tenant's requirement and the ordinance. He committed to constructing a 37-foot-wide Carlin Road segment, adding two or three speed bumps (subject to fire marshal approval), and including "no trucks" language in tenant leases. - Matt Jones, Assistant City Manager, clarified that Carlin Road is not designated as a truck route per ordinance, so truck deliveries must use Highway 287 (a truck route) or E. Broad Street (a commercial delivery route). - Council Member Newsom said his vote was based on respect for the 65 percent voter approval but expressed displeasure with reducing the square footage from 25,000 to 22,000 and suggested the Council consider aligning the ordinance with 22,000 if approved. Council Members Fresquez and Vaszauskas also supported the item while expressing reservations about the smaller store size. - Motion by Council Member Simmons, seconded by Council Member Vaszauskas, to approve the ordinance (OR-2455-26)—passed 6-1, with Mayor Evans voting no. The public hearing opened and closed at 7:16 p.m. with no speakers. Key Outcomes - Council directed staff to revise the Commercial Drone Delivery Ordinance to require SUP approval for all hubs and kiosks, increase kiosk area to approximately one parking space, add maximum noise standards and sound study requirements, and address temporary generator noise, with 300-foot (hub) and 150-foot (kiosk) separations as baseline standards. - ZC26-001 (Seeton Road townhomes) was tabled 7-0 to the second City Council meeting in October (October 26, 2026, per staff). - ZC26-002 (Trez Shops at Broad) was approved 6-1 (OR-2455-26). - The Chapter 380 Development Agreement for ED Project 26-07 (Dr. Sheppard medical office building at 2881 FM 157) was authorized 7-0, not to exceed $25,000 for eligible reimbursable infrastructure expenses. - Victor Flores's City Attorney service extension was approved 7-0. - All eight consent agenda items were approved 7-0. - The Council requested a Resolution opposing MISD single-member districts and an update on public-private partnerships at a future meeting.

The Olathe Planning Commission held a regular meeting on September 28, 2026, with seven of nine commissioners present (Chair Janner and Commissioner Corcoran absent). The agenda included approval of three consent items, a clarification on a final plat, and three public hearings for special use permits—all of which passed unanimously 7-0. Consent Calendar - Items A (SU26-0008 – Pet Ranch renewal) and B (SU26-0011 – Centerfire Shooting Sports renewal) were approved together on a 7-0 vote as routine consent items. - Item C (FP26-0018 – Woodland Hills Eighth Plat final plat) was removed from the consent agenda for separate consideration due to a staff update on a pool construction stipulation. Public Comments & Testimony - Centerfire Shooting Sports (SU26-0011): JW Larrick (18870 W 153 Ct, Olathe) spoke in support of the renewal. He stated he has been a member for several years, called the operation “very professional,” noted it is the only indoor shooting facility in Johnson County (since the Bullet Hole closed), and highlighted its value for police retiree re‑qualification and community training (e.g., trauma and first aid courses). He expressed full support for the continued operation. Discussion Items - Woodland Hills Eighth Plat (FP26-0018): Chet Belcher, Chief Community Development Officer, provided a clarification. A previous stipulation required the pool and amenities to be in place before the plat could be recorded. Due to weather and a newly adopted sanitary code (with county water‑quality monitoring), the city is working with the applicant. Plans are expected this week; the stipulation has been changed to tie the pool to building occupancy – no new residents will move in until the pool is complete. No infrastructure construction has begun on the eighth plat. The applicant plans to break ground on the pool this year and may proceed with winter sewers later. The commission approved the plat 7-0 with all staff stipulations and recommendations. Key Outcomes - SU26-0008 (Pet Ranch special use permit renewal): Approved 7-0. Original permit from 2008; last renewed in 2013. Staff found continued conformance with criteria; no public hearing speakers. - SU26-0011 (Centerfire Shooting Sports special use permit renewal): Approved 7-0 after public comment. Original permit from 2011; last renewed in 2016. Staff found continued conformance. - SU26-0013 (Nice Digs Volleyball new special use permit and preliminary site plan): Approved 7-0. This first‑time permit is for an outdoor sand volleyball facility (five courts, up to 60 participants at a time, operating April–October, hours Sunday–Friday with potential Saturday tournaments 4 p.m.–11 p.m., 61 parking spaces, extensive landscaping and fencing). The permit is valid for five years. The item is scheduled for the October 20, 2026 City Council meeting. Staff noted no opposition letters; only an inquiry from an adjacent property owner. - Announcement: A planning commission workshop is planned for November 9, 2026, ahead of that month’s regular meeting.

He identified the Old Sonoma Road overpass as a dangerous spot and said his initial focus would be the most dangerous intersections, with pedestrian safety as the immediate priority. - Donald O'Brien: A civil engineer with six years on the commission, including one year as chair.
