SUBJECT/PROCEEDING:
Discussion and Possible Action to Approve Additional Funding & Term Change to the City Hall Building Security &
Infrastructure Refresh Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff Recommends Council Approve the Additional Funding & Contract Term Change as Presented in Option 1
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
BACKGROUND:
Council approved the City Hall Building Security & Infrastructure Refresh Project for a total project cost of $240,000,
with a 5-year amortization payment term of $48,000 in the 2026-2027 fiscal budget.
PROPOSAL:
The Verkada software and hardware maintenance and service licenses were based on a 3-year term in the original
quote; staff renegotiated the contract to include 5 years of maintenance and service licenses, for a total project cost of
$246,598.77. Datavox noted a 12% increase in these licenses this year alone; the 5-year term will lock us at a much
lower rate than we would see in year 3 of the project, when we would need to extend the licenses.
To take advantage of these savings, we would need to extend the licenses from 3 to 5 years. The payment for the
entire project would be made as a single purchase in this fiscal year, and we would forgo the annual amortized
payments and their finance charges. This decision needs to be made prior to October 31 to avoid price increases.

benefits:
o Add 2 years of additional licensing and lock-in rate at current cost (projected savings of approx.
$23,000)
o Eliminate finance charges, saving $46,209 compared to Option 2, and $33,572 compared to Option 3.

ASSUMPTIONS AND CONDITIONS
This section lists DataVox’s standard assumptions and exclusions for this Physical Security proposal.

ACCESS CONTROL PERMITTING (IF APPLICABLE)
Texas Security License: DataVox is a Class B licensed (B16503) and certified private security company by the Texas Department of Public
Safety. DataVox is required to abide by Texas Administrative Code and Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1702 for access control and alarm
related services.
Access Control Permitting: Access control will require a standalone access control permit (separate from Certificate of Occupancy permit).
Access control permitting and code requirements vary slightly between the AHJ of the project location. Once the project is approved by
Customer, DataVox will gather the required documentation and submit for lock permitting with the AHJ based on specific code requirements.
Timeline for permitting approval is subject to AHJ resources and typically takes 4-8 weeks. Once plans are submitted to the AHJ, any changes
will require re-submission and additional costs.
Access Control Inspection & Other Trades: The AHJ may require an onsite lock inspection for electronic access control devices prior to

2026 CITY STAFF

The city performs weekly street sweeping to reduce the amount of organic and inorganic debris
entering the city’s stormwater system and downstream waterbodies.
Ambassador Services performs weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and quarterly cuts to irrigated and nonirrigated areas throughout the city. Their staff also checks these areas and picks up any litter found.
As a member of Texas811, the city receives numerous requests from contractors to locate and mark
our water and sewer lines before they dig. This helps protect the city’s water, sewer, and storm lines
from damage by contractors.
Each year, the city removes dead trees from public areas, prunes vegetation in the parks and ROW,
and plants additional trees to maintain our status as a Tree City. The city is currently in its 18 th year
as a Tree City.

Water and sewer data are reported in monthly reports as calendar months, except for average
residential water use and water loss data, which are reported for the billing month because these
data points are based on use data, which is only available on a billing-month cycle.
The next chart shows the average residential water use for each month compared to previous
months.

FY 2021-22
Annual Report

CVB September 2026 Monthly Report
Highlighting August Hotel Performance &
HOT Collections

Other Items of Note:
- This month’s report shows the tenth consecutive month that we’ve seen an increase in our HOT collections – up 13.3%
YOY (for the same month in the previous year, or Aug. ‘26 vs. Aug. ’25), and are up 3.3% YOY for our entire FY with one month
of reporting remaining prior to the end of our FY. Additionally, as you can see from our Tourism Economics Momentum Index
chart on the previous page, we continue to outperform our peers across categories.
As we receive this monthly report, we will begin pulling together this past year’s data, do our analysis, and work on producing
our annual report.

- Another item of note is that initial indications show that all our efforts and work on our new website build, marketing and social
media campaigns continue to see strong results. As you can see in Slides 5 and 6 of this report, and in the Executive
Summary, our website sessions are up significantly (70.2% YOY for Aug.) alongside an increased engagement rate, and our
time on site (session duration), more than doubled YOY.
Additionally, our marketing campaigns appear to be working very well.
- In August, Billy and I both attended conferences: Billy attended our annual Texas Travel Alliance (TTA) Travel Summit
Conference in Fort Worth, and we had a 4th Tourism Advisory Board meeting on October 8th, and an Around Houston meeting
on October 15th. John also participated in a DI Marketing Committee meeting in October 8th as well.
- John and Billy have also been hard at work, working with Lisa and her team, to close out FY 2025-26, and have numerous
vendor calls to finalize new contracts and insertion orders, and get them input into our accounting system for FY 2026-27.
