The council cited deliberations held under Texas Government Code provisions related to purchase/exchange/lease of real property and pending condemnation proceedings; the meeting record references Sections 551.072 and 551.071 as the basis for the closed deliberations.

A motion to authorize negotiation and execution of settlement documents for case No. 25-CCV-076286 was made and seconded; the motion passed with an affirmative vote. Later, the council moved to terminate the employment agreement of John Marsh for cause; that motion also carried unanimously. Council then voted to appoint Joyce Fasuit as acting interim city manager.

The meeting record did not provide public details of the settlement terms, the basis for termination beyond the language \"for cause,\" or an effective date for the termination beyond the council action taken in open session. The council recorded the votes as unanimous among members present for each motion.

Votes at a glance:
- Authorize negotiation/execution of settlement documents for case No. 25-CCV-076286 — approved (unanimous of those present).

The council provided no further public explanation in open session about the facts underlying the termination or the terms of the authorized settlement; staff and counsel may provide follow-up information consistent with Texas open-meeting and legal requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Rosenberg - City Council Meetings - Mar 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Following an executive session, the Rosenberg City Council authorized settlement negotiations in case No. 25-CCV-076286, voted to terminate the employment agreement of John Marsh for cause, and appointed Joyce Fasuit as interim city manager; all motions passed unanimously among those present.","taxTitle","Rosenberg, Fort Bend County, Texas","taxId",54260,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6631657,"Council awards recoating contract for downtown elevated water tank to LTA Group LLC",451,1717000,2168000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2679709-9221e5b4891959119849e148852b694a&start=1717&end=2168","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2679709-9221e5b4891959119849e148852b694a/thumbnail_1717000.jpg","/articles/6631657/Rosenberg/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Council-awards-recoating-contract-for-downtown-elevated-water-tank-to-LTA-Group-LLC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6631657-a8d319d374f68ad7f0170c4313abb179/orig.mp4?Expires=1775669364&Signature=JVeKmnBAgMQ2JRb8F0HlpNTXICrW3q7o6dDAjn1BPrdIMcjc-uWmkGMRiI-G1~Qoxf6SW0jBIU232jn1HPNrlmXowagLBhQ749TlFVinC1R7AjhqzcO2hcABwUjKI6mWSrrzgj7ArQIkOwkmPuVOBunSZeN7tYUcpFjl0Rwue7HwyszM8KxD-Bg2bXInTWwhfg1jir64eDfR1cgFQoL6CeBcvENkPTWeBkL63Skd0Nf~1uadxBWKTCMpUFIBMhS9sFUuDJrBCzZqzFvfzI3Vu5--pFlVNIw6ssGmafwQLEiPXroOWktGPBtGNiq6ExCv7wdIVz0wCM58FZjNn7E50g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rosenberg City Council on March 18 awarded Bid No. 2025-47B to LTA Group LLC for $199,596 to recoat Elevated Water Storage Tank No. 1, a downtown project. The council also voted to waive a minor bid informality after staff reported the contractor originally submitted a copy rather than an original bid bond and subsequently provided the original.

Staff said the contractor submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $199,596 with a completion term of 75 calendar days. The project is included in the FY 2025 Capital Improvement Plan and budget. Kalusa Inc., serving as construction manager, recommended award and will perform on-site inspection during the recoating process.

Councilors asked how interior coatings are verified and whether paint could be thinned to cut costs. Staff responded that Kaluza (Kalusa Inc.) will conduct construction inspection and that the city files an annual report to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Council members discussed the possibility of unannounced checks to confirm coating thickness and compliance with specifications.

An alternate bid included relocation of existing radio antennas on the tank so meter-reading equipment remains functional after recoating. Council voted to approve the resolution awarding the bid and authorizing the city manager to execute associated documents; the vote was unanimous among members present (6 yes, 0 no).

Crowe LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the city's financial statements.

Ben Cohen, director with Crowe LLP, summarized the audit findings and told the council the firm provided \"the highest level of assurance\" for the financial statements. Cohen noted there were no changes between the draft and final report and that the single audit produced no findings.

Key financial figures presented to the council included a general fund balance in the neighborhood of $20,000,000 and total general fund expenditures of roughly $35,000,000, which Cohen said equates to about 65% of expenditures (approximately six to seven months of reserves). The city's net position has increased since 2015; the auditors' notes show outstanding debt related to capital projects and a total debt level discussed in the presentation of about $85,000,000 for fiscal year 2024. Council members emphasized that the current council had not approved any new debt since taking office.

The presentation also noted capital projects funded through a mix of grants, contributions and some debt issuance; pages cited by auditors included management discussion and analysis, the fund-level statements, notes to the financial statements and the debt schedule. Because the city spent more than $750,000 in federal funds, a single audit was required; the auditor reported no single-audit findings.

Councilor Hector moved to accept the report; Councilor Jessica seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous among those present.

Council members asked about the audit rotation; staff confirmed the current audit engagement was the final year of a contract cycle and the city will go out for proposals for the next engagement.

The ordinance clarifies Section 3-58a of the UDC after residents received enforcement warnings and tickets related to utility connections for RVs parked on private property. City staff told council the amendment will state that water and sewer utilities are not allowed to be connected while an RV is parked outside an RV park.

City staff presented a redline and clean copy of the ordinance and recommended approval. A council member summarized the change by saying staff \"recommends approval of ordinance number 2025-09 as presented.\" During discussion, council members said the change seeks to balance enforcement with practical needs, such as keeping RV batteries charged for short-term use or emergency readiness.

Councilors raised concerns about people living long-term in RVs and illegal sewage discharges. One council member noted past incidents of residents connecting RV sewer lines improperly and emphasized the amendment is intended to bar water and wastewater hookups while allowing electrical connections for battery maintenance.

Council members also noted that homeowners association rules remain in effect: a city ordinance cannot override HOA restrictions. After discussion, a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-09 carried unanimously among those present (6 yes, 0 no).

The ordinance text amends chapter 3, article 2, division 3, section 3-58a of the Unified Development Code, titled \"Recreational Vehicles Outside Parks,\" and provides for severability and an effective date. The ordinance clarifies prohibited utility connections and does not specify additional enforcement thresholds beyond existing city parking and public-health rules.

Implementation details, including any enforcement guidance or timelines, were not specified during the meeting.
