[ City of Lubbock, Texas Regular City Council Meeting October 27, 2026]

[00:00:04]

ALL RIGHT. NOW OPEN THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE LUBBOCK CITY COUNCIL FOR OCTOBER 27TH, 2026.

DUE TO THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED MEETING TIME RELATING TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES COMING TO SPEAK IN LUBBOCK.

WE PLANNED ON RECESSING THIS MEETING UNTIL 5:30.

HOWEVER, THAT SCHEDULE HAS CHANGED NOW BECAUSE HE WILL BE SPEAKING LATER IN THE DAY.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY BE ATTENDING THAT SPEECH.

IN FACT, I BELIEVE THE MAJORITY OF US WILL, AND IN WHICH CASE WE WOULD NOT HAVE A QUORUM HERE.

SO LET ME JUST ASK EACH OF YOU IF YOU PLAN TO BE PRESENT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

NOT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE AT THE PRESENT HERE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. WILL YOU BE PRESENT AT THE CITY COUNCIL? MR. GORDON, WILL YOU BE HERE? OKAY. YOU WON'T BE HERE. I WON'T BE HERE.

WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM, MR. CITY MANAGER. CITY ATTORNEY.

WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT OF THAT? WELL, YOU CAN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A QUORUM, YOU CAN'T HAVE A MEETING.

SO AT THIS POINT, YOU CAN TAKE A MOTION TO CANCEL TODAY'S MEETING AND PLACE WHAT AGENDA ITEMS YOU CAN PLACE ON THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. AND THE CITY MANAGER CAN PROBABLY GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF WHAT THOSE AGENDA ITEMS WOULD BE.

I KNOW THE PLANNING AND ZONING HEARINGS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE POSTED SO WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THOSE AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

BUT THE OTHER AGENDA ITEMS I'LL DEFER TO THE CITY MANAGER IS WHAT WE CAN DO AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

MR. CITY MANAGER THANK YOU. MAYOR. TODAY'S AGENDA, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE POSTED FOR THE ZONING ITEMS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE4, EVERYTHING WILL CARRY OVER TO YOUR MEETING ON NOVEMBER 3RD.

REMEMBER, WE'RE IN THAT ONCE A WEEK PHASE RIGHT NOW, THE 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS.

SO THE FIRST READS ON THOSE ZONING CASES, THERE'S BASICALLY A 15 DAY PUBLICATION THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

THEY WILL COME BACK TO YOUR DECEMBER, THE 1ST COUNCIL MEETING.

SO THE 4 ZONING, DECEMBER 1ST, EVERYTHING ELSE, NOVEMBER THE 3RD DO NEED TO REMIND COUNCIL.

NOVEMBER THE 3RD. WE INTENDED TO START THE COUNCIL MEETING KIND OF LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN DO YOUR WORK SESSION AT 5:30 FOR THE CHARTER REVIEW. SO WITH CARRYING THESE ITEMS FORWARD GUESSING AT THE MOMENT, WE'LL PROBABLY WANT TO START EXECUTIVE SESSION SOMETIME AROUND 2:00 NEXT WEEK, COUNCIL MEETING ABOUT 3:00.

AND THEN WE'RE TENTATIVELY SET UP TO DO YOUR WORK SESSION AT 5:30.

AND WE WOULD DO THAT IN THE SECOND FLOOR SO THAT Y'ALL COULD HAVE A WORK TABLE TYPE ENVIRONMENT LIKE YOU DID IN JULY.

I'LL TAKE ANY, ANY INPUT ON ANY OF THAT THAT YOU'VE GOT.

ALL RIGHT. MR. COLLINS, MAYOR, I WOULD MOVE THAT WE CANCEL TODAY'S MEETING AND ALLOW THE CITY STAFF TO CREATE THE AGENDA AS APPROPRIATE TO THE RULES PROVIDED.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO CANCEL TODAY'S MEETING AND MOVE THOSE ITEMS. OKAY. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN GREEN. ALL IN FAVOR? LET ME KNOW BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED, SAY NAY.

I HEAR NONE, SO THAT MOTION PASSES. WE HAVE THE MEETING CANCELED THIS EVENING.

WE WILL BE BACK HERE ON NOVEMBER THE 3RD, AND THIS MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED.
