7.B

Discussion and possible action regarding amendment to the FY2026-2027 budget
to eliminate the Assistant City Manager position and associated funding. (King)
Overview
Council considered a proposed amendment to the FY 2026-2027 budget to
eliminate the Assistant City Manager position and its associated funding. The item
was placed on the agenda by Council Member Don King for formal consideration
during budget deliberations.
Public Comment
Chris Miller addressed Council and requested that no immediate action be taken
until a formal review of the position could be completed. He suggested
evaluating: The Assistant City Manager's responsibilities and workload, Duties
that could potentially be reassigned, The total compensation cost of the position,
Impacts on ongoing projects and organizational continuity, Whether maintaining
or eliminating the position provides the best value to taxpayers. Mr. Miller
recommended postponing the decision until a study could be performed and
reported back to Council
Council Discussion
Council Member Edmonds opposed eliminating the position, stating that the
Assistant City Manager serves a critical role in organizational continuity and
succession planning. He noted that if the City Manager is unavailable, the
Assistant City Manager is the employee most familiar with city operations and
can provide leadership with minimal disruption. He further stated that the position
assists with departmental oversight and operational demands that arise when the
City Manager is attending regional meetings and other obligations.

August 25, 2026 City Council Regular Meeting City Council Meeting Minutes

Council Member Holt expressed concern that the proposal was premature and
lacked a formal feasibility study. He stated that the Council had not reviewed
objective performance data and believed the decision should be based on
documented analysis rather than assumptions.
Council Member King explained that she placed the item on the agenda because
similar discussions had occurred during budget workshops without a definitive
action. She stated that he did not believe a city the size of Dickinson required an
Assistant City Manager position and referenced discussions comparing
organizational structures in peer cities. She emphasized that the proposal was not
directed at the individual holding the position, whom he described as hardworking
and respected, but instead focused on whether the position itself was necessary.
King argued that the position represented approximately $200,000 in expenditures
that could be redirected to improve the City's financial position and fund balance.
City Manager Cary advised against the elimination of the position. He stated that
the Assistant City Manager role provides executive-level leadership capacity
needed to support operations, major infrastructure projects, intergovernmental
coordination, and organizational responsiveness. Carey noted that the City
Manager's Office had already undergone significant staff reductions and
expressed concern that removing the position would negatively impact operations
and employee morale. He characterized the proposal as a setback rather than
progress for the organization.
Mayor Magliolo questioned whether replacing the position with an executive
assistant would provide the same operational capability. He highlighted the
Assistant City Manager's involvement in major projects, coordination with
department directors, and ability to act on behalf of the City Manager. The Mayor
expressed concern about increasing the workload on the City Manager and the
potential for organizational burnout if executive-level support were removed.
Council Member Townsend supported the proposal, noting that he had served
both with and without an Assistant City Manager position during his time on
Council. He stated that Dickinson had historically managed without the role and
that Council had successfully designated interim leadership during previous
transitions. Townsend indicated support for providing the City Manager with
administrative support but questioned whether an Assistant City Manager position
was necessary.
Additional Discussion
Discussion also included:
Concerns about the City's overall payroll and administrative costs.
The need to maintain adequate fund balance reserves.
Whether savings from the position should be redirected toward administrative
support for the City Manager.
The impact of the City's growing responsibilities, including Economic
Development Corporation management and major capital projects.
A staff member also addressed Council, noting that staff had not been consulted
regarding operational needs and how the organization functions on a daily basis

Consideration and possible action to approve the DEDC Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Budget. (DEDC)
Council considered approval of the Dickinson Economic Development
Corporation's proposed FY 2026-2027 Budget. Discussion focused primarily on
legal expenses, communications services, facility maintenance costs, fund balance
allocations, and maintenance responsibilities for EDC-owned properties.
Budget Discussion
Legal Services
Council questioned the increase in the legal services budget from approximately
$50,000 to $300,000. Staff explained the increase was intended to cover outside
legal counsel and provide funding for potential litigation-related settlements
associated with ongoing legal matters.
Contractual Services
Questions were raised regarding the increase in contractual services funding. Staff
explained that the amount included communication and marketing services that
were previously budgeted elsewhere and would now be handled through a
professional services contract rather than an employee position.
Administrative Services
Council discussed the administrative services allocation paid to the City for
overhead and management support. Staff clarified that while certain EDC
personnel positions had been eliminated, the administrative services charge
continued to support executive and administrative functions provided by City
staff.
Engineering Services
Council reviewed a proposed engineering budget of $150,000. Staff explained

August 25, 2026 City Council Regular Meeting City Council Meeting Minutes

that the funding was intended to support development agreements and engineering
review services associated with economic development projects currently under
consideration.
Building and Property Maintenance
Substantial discussion centered on the proposed maintenance budget, particularly
costs associated with the rail district parking garage and other EDC-owned
properties.
Staff advised that maintenance expenditures included:
- Parking garage utilities and lighting.
- Routine maintenance and repairs.
- Landscaping and mowing.
- Security and operational expenses.
- Maintenance of additional EDC-owned properties.
Council Members expressed concern regarding property upkeep and whether
sufficient resources were allocated to maintain EDC-owned properties at an
acceptable standard. Questions were also raised regarding mowing
responsibilities and existing arrangements between the City and the EDC for
maintaining those sites.
Fund Balance
Council reviewed the proposed transfer of $200,000 from the EDC to the City,
while retaining approximately $193,000 in EDC reserves for contingency and
fund balance purposes. Staff also reminded Council that approximately $1 million
in Economic Development Administration grant reimbursement remained
outstanding for the rail district parking garage project.
Amendment
Council discussed directing additional resources toward maintenance of EDCowned properties.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the DEDC budget with an
amendment transferring $90,000 from the projected surplus/fund balance
allocation to the Building and Property Maintenance budget. The purpose was to
ensure adequate funding for mowing, maintenance, and upkeep of EDC
properties.
Scott E Shrader motioned to Approve for discussion , and Joe Wilburn seconded
the motion.

Kevin D Edmonds motioned to Approve the DEDC FY 2026-2027 Budget,
as amended, with an additional $90,000 allocated to Building and Property
Maintenance from available surplus funds., and Marston S Holt seconded
the motion.

Discussion regarding the regulation of Short-Term Rentals in the City of
Dickinson. (Shrader)
Council Discussion
Council Member Schrader raised concerns regarding short-term rentals operating
in residential neighborhoods and asked whether additional restrictions could be
considered. He specifically referenced complaints from residents regarding:
Excessive noise.
Increased traffic.
Parking issues.
Impacts on surrounding property owners.
Schrader also inquired whether the City could legally prohibit short-term rentals
within platted residential subdivisions.
City Attorney Response
The City Attorney advised that an outright prohibition of short-term rentals in
residential neighborhoods would likely be legally challenging. He explained that
Dickinson had previously defended its STR ordinance in court and was successful
on appeal because the City's regulations focused on operational requirements
rather than a complete ban. He indicated that a prohibition could be vulnerable to
constitutional challenges because short-term rentals primarily occur within
residential properties.
Enforcement and Compliance Update
Staff reported that:
- The City has contracted with a service provider through its Hotel Occupancy
Tax administration platform to help identify short-term rental properties.
- Notices were sent to 15 identified STR properties.
- Seven property owners had responded and registered with the City.
- Significant challenges remain in identifying and bringing all short-term rentals
into compliance.
- Staff further noted that the City's Unified Development Code currently requires
a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for short-term rentals, but historically only a
small number of permit applications have been submitted, with only one having
been approved.
Additional Discussion
Council members discussed:
The importance of enforcing existing regulations before considering additional
restrictions.
Ensuring short-term rental operators pay applicable Hotel Occupancy Taxes and
comply with city requirements.
Potential registration, insurance, and compliance requirements utilized by other
cities.

The difficulty and expense associated with identifying unregistered STR
properties.
Staff explained that previous discussions regarding third-party STR monitoring
services did not move forward largely because of the associated costs. Instead, the
City has been using existing resources and self-identification efforts to locate
non-compliant operators.
Conclusion
Council generally agreed that the City's existing ordinance provides a regulatory
framework for short-term rentals and that the primary challenge is enforcement
and identification of non-compliant properties rather than a lack of regulations.
No action was taken, and the item concluded following discussion.

RESOLUTION NUMBER XXX-2026 - Consideration and possible action to
approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an interlocal
agreement with the Dickinson Independent School District to provide standby
ambulance services at Dickinson High School football games. (EMS)
Council considered a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an
Interlocal Agreement with the Dickinson Independent School District (DISD) for
standby ambulance services at Dickinson High School football games. The
agreement provides for EMS personnel and an ambulance to be present during
home football games to ensure rapid emergency medical response if needed.
Staff Presentation
EMS staff explained that the primary purpose of the agreement was to update
service rates. The City has charged DISD $75 per hour for standby ambulance
services since approximately 2013. Following a review of operational costs, EMS
determined that the actual cost of staffing and operating an ambulance is closer to
$120 to $130 per hour. As a result, the proposed agreement increased the rate to
$125 per hour to more accurately reflect the City's costs.
Council Discussion
Concern was raised regarding the contract requirement that the ambulance remain
onsite 30 minutes before kickoff and 30 minutes after the game concludes. He
noted that, in his observation, ambulances often appeared to leave shortly after the
game ended rather than remaining for the full post-game period outlined in the
agreement. Schrader stated that his concern was not about charging additional
overtime expenses but rather ensuring emergency coverage remains available in
the event an injury or medical emergency occurs immediately following a game.
EMS Response
EMS staff acknowledged the concern and noted that the agreement provides for
additional billing if services extend beyond the contracted time frame. Staff also
indicated they would review operations to ensure compliance with the agreement's
coverage requirements.
Mayor Magliolo commented that, based on experience at athletic events,
emergencies are generally more likely to occur before or during games rather than
after completion. However, he acknowledged the importance of maintaining

August 25, 2026 City Council Regular Meeting City Council Meeting Minutes

adequate medical coverage and supported the overall agreement.
Key Points:
EMS contract rate increased from $75/hour to $125/hour to reflect current
operational costs.
Agreement provides ambulance coverage 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after
football games.
Council discussed ensuring post-game EMS coverage remains consistent with
contractual requirements.

Notes:
*The City’s fund balance policy requires the General Fund (Fund 01) to maintain an unassigned fund balance between 25% and 33%
of budgeted General Fund expenditures. Based on the current budget, a minimum unassigned fund balance of $4,778,199 is required
to comply with the policy.
**PID funds do not maintain ending fund balances. All expenditures are recognized as accrued obligations, resulting in total
expenditures equaling total revenues.
***The Street Maintenance Fund (Fund 08) requires a $500,000 minimum fund balance.
****The Disaster Contingency Fund (Fund 05) was previously reported within Miscellaneous Grants Fund (Fund 03) in the First
Quarter FY2026 and Second Quarter FY2026 financial reports. Fund 05 consists solely of a Texas CLASS investment account, with
all interest earnings retained within the fund.
City Charter Section 7.07 establishes the Disaster Contingency Fund and requires that the fund balance be maintained at not less than
seven percent (7%) of the total current annual budget. Any balance in excess of the required amount is to be transferred to the General
Fund at the end of the fiscal year. The annual budget may include appropriations to this fund not to exceed two percent (2%) of the
total current annual budget.
The fund may be used only in the event of a disaster declared by the Mayor, and all expenditures from the fund must be approved by
the City Council. The fund balance is carried forward from year to year and is not considered an unencumbered fund balance as
defined in City Charter Section 7.06.

Investment schedules
presented per the provisions of the Texas Code Chapter 2256 (Public Funds
Investment Act) and the City of Dickinson Investment Policy
The City requires its depository banks to provide collateral for all deposits in excess of Federal Deposit
Insurance. As of June 30, 2026, the market value of collateral pledged to the City was $6,324,971.72 by
Texas First.
Unrealized gain/loss is the difference between the market value of the City's securities and what it paid
for them. Gains and losses are realized only when a security is sold prior to maturity. Since it is the
City's practice to hold all securities to maturity, it is unlikely that unrealized gains and losses will be
realized. As of the end of the quarter, the City had no unrealized gains or losses.
In view of historically low interest rates, the recommended investment strategy for the next fiscal
quarter is to invest primarily in shorter term Certificates, Bonds and Investment Pools. The
recommended strategy is currently being implemented.
