Solid-waste staff informed the council that three of the trucks were at the end of their useful lives and one unit required a repair estimated at about $90,000. Staff said the trucks are available via a cooperative contract (TIPS) and an expected vendor, Vanguard, already has the chassis at a local can dealer; procurement would proceed immediately if council approved so the trucks could be outfitted and delivered quickly.

Council discussed whether the purchase had been previously budgeted; staff confirmed it was outside the adopted budget and requested authorization to use fund balance. Council approved the purchase by voice vote.

Staff said the purchases would allow the department to replace aging equipment and avoid higher repair costs; delivery timelines were described as short because the chassis and body are already staged at the supplier.","Council approved purchase of four side‑loader solid‑waste trucks for $1,361,286.92 from the equipment services fund balance after staff said three of the city’s existing trucks had reached end of useful life and one required a major repair.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6104570,"Council authorizes three‑month Motorola CAD maintenance extension while new system is finalized",211,242000,453000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2790496-f917d8fb8907871403ccd80c274f50d6&start=242&end=453","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2790496-f917d8fb8907871403ccd80c274f50d6/thumbnail_242000.jpg","/articles/6104570/Odessa/Ector-County/Texas/Council-authorizes-threemonth-Motorola-CAD-maintenance-extension-while-new-system-is-finalized","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6104570-04c0d13e1794318987d1bd3de8477d68/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143793&Signature=mhsom0ag-qtQgNL4tBJ2oEpYVo4U~a77g4uYUk13qR0xuy~dXzGCr4H6WI6iQubxCMFJpxcG7v2ZYNFGrAntOstctcb9o21QjK0GCDGUOmdOT0IdylyzLLVNBitFScQTmSYvcAdzJRMr6CrEx1J1qN5rCvfqo-P6T-DJGPvrpDVPO5h3-aB6e8zJUACIsQCpBWG~T9wUI3M33FYh6Clko4HiS0WiCLcGyXDU4XtKIPRZUY4xbluXwvkxIhC0-TGDGK~vlHZn31hUzPpilUMy1jQ3~fMV56SdwtTl0mPS75BbliIaxFNaurHDfvJPXRjTVLhnktpKJ0r~rS8be10q~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Odessa City Council on March 25 authorized the interim city manager to execute a contract extension and purchase order with Motorola Solutions for maintenance and support of the Premier 1 Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and mobile records system at a cost of $78,369.

Staff told council the city has used the current CAD since March 2014 and began procuring a replacement system after recurring outages and service issues. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds were used toward the new CAD purchase; staff said the new contract price rose by $166,809 between award and signature, and that the IT department had budgeted $370,000 for the year for CAD. The $78,369 represents a three‑month maintenance extension to cover the city until the new system is fully implemented.

Staff said delays in configuring the new system to the city's specifications and a recent network outage delayed the go‑live date. The current Motorola maintenance agreement was set to expire April 1, and the extension will ensure vendor technical support remains available during cutover.

Council approved the extension unanimously and staff said the extension contract paperwork would be routed to the city manager's office the next day.","Council approved a three‑month extension and payment of $78,369 to Motorola for continued maintenance and support of the city's Premier 1 Computer-Aided Dispatch and mobile records system while the new CAD system is completed and brought live.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6104575,"Council approves traffic analytics software and connected-vehicle data subscriptions to guide traffic safety work",378,378000,756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2790496-f917d8fb8907871403ccd80c274f50d6&start=378&end=756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2790496-f917d8fb8907871403ccd80c274f50d6/thumbnail_378000.jpg","/articles/6104575/Odessa/Ector-County/Texas/Council-approves-traffic-analytics-software-and-connected-vehicle-data-subscriptions-to-guide-traffic-safety-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6104575-5c2f84ae143a32fe3eea5ad6817b4ab7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143793&Signature=TFDmdOsAzo2e0fDPyFIggbakSHyS4k0kuZYh~f1wZp9vmnMRSTFB9RPid-Y8WpJWEsQjT9AHsnTMbYYl8Qr6ML4lkEUIXmWnQiIWoe4TZKQqUm91RRZuSY4g5ile9unXm2vWR04PhjdheadBG3IPHS-X8R3SHel4eiOmPHr70HIq4dN-RjljPM4~U88gHjVHKlAaihWc3UrfEkvbbkx3-Qtaf0ZHarsQZkAeyOflefZGlxv5l5vdQw4T8u-HrTJYCmQsmWAvY3UnefgxFkknEi1oG16CQga2KmCXgbAWOTjr8Iwtqah3M~jzMmgMtVKWtrxIFe0yajzAHvkV1rjapQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Odessa City Council approved two items March 25 to give police and engineering staff data tools for identifying crash hotspots and traffic patterns.

The council approved a five‑year license for a crash analytics product (referred to in staff materials as City and Crash) at $311,238 that will ingest crash reports, map collisions by latitude/longitude, apply natural-language processing to officer narratives and produce budgeted, real‑time mitigation options. Staff said the vendor will backfill three years of historical data to provide a baseline.

Council also approved a three‑year subscription to a connected‑vehicle data product (referred to as UrbanSTK) that uses aggregated telematics from connected vehicles and GPS sources to provide speed and flow data across the city. Staff said the connected‑vehicle product does not collect personally identifying information and provides travel‑time and speed heat maps the city can use for traffic calming, signal timing and planning.

Police and engineering staff described operational uses including quicker routing for first responders, identifying low‑cost engineering countermeasures and providing objective evidence when residents complain about speeding. Matt Davidson, presenting the City and Crash product, said, “It reads the officer's narrative through our AI algorithm and gives us real time solutions to our crash problems in Odessa.”

Councilmembers asked whether the connected-vehicle data identifies individual drivers and whether the products can integrate with signal timing systems; staff said the data is proprietary third‑party telematics from connected vehicles and that the supplier estimates connected‑vehicle coverage will grow from roughly 43% to a much higher share in coming years, and that the system can help analyze travel time between points though direct integration with signal controllers was not certain.

Some councilmembers voiced concerns about privacy and wanted assurance that no personally identifying driver data would be handed to the city; staff repeatedly affirmed that the vendor supplies aggregated speed and location information rather than driver identities.

Both purchases passed unanimously. Staff said the City and Crash purchase is budgeted and that the UrbanSTK subscription includes a 3% annual price escalator for usage.","Council approved two technology purchases — a five‑year City and Crash analytics license and a three‑year UrbanSTK connected-vehicle data subscription — intended to help police and traffic engineers target crash reduction and traffic-calming projects; council raised privacy and integration questions.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6104580,"Council approves additional work and replacement venturi for water treatment plant rehab",452,924000,1376000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2790496-f917d8fb8907871403ccd80c274f50d6&start=924&end=1376","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2790496-f917d8fb8907871403ccd80c274f50d6/thumbnail_924000.jpg","/articles/6104580/Odessa/Ector-County/Texas/Council-approves-additional-work-and-replacement-venturi-for-water-treatment-plant-rehab","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6104580-f64ab8522d9b438cfd7d137460287cec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143793&Signature=XsNNmZ9eTq2HWDsS9CnmNc~rTMGbdnA8mzm9PVlfYyze0azU7pcYMCSiqNMIbV6SduWmfK0Ujx-J1nA2DnutvAztrFrUJPFApGKyRxcTgx2u0dcxG22B7qhFdk2ahmmAnYNmTuTIdHo8r1Hh2hMPfHFgf3O2xVriGiqFStAQvTHoRWqHSQS7s8iZ0AJRM41ZiXy17MQfMN5DUrFgYeAsioLdSuOowXd7j2S19izq70cGANETt7KHcwXF4Wfe0YafD7vBhrqNx1q-Qbv3rLo3zLd0Ruur0lCu-nWGAuRZHaoy8GessNuqBQnCeQ7vHHephZNNAocStj81xBUlTpr4Fg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Odessa City Council on March 25 approved additional work on the city's water treatment plant rehabilitation and separately authorized purchase of a replacement venturi and valve setup for a main backwash line.

Council voted after staff described an unforeseen need to install a hydraulic relief T between Clear Wells 2 and 3 and to add a bypass so all three clear wells remain in service while the work is performed. Utilities staff said the city can fund the change from the current project purchase order (PO) and contingency balance.

Utilities staff said the contractor's change will be covered from contingency funds already moved into the PO; $626,782 remained in the PO and the city would retain about $3,704,000 in the overall contingency fund after the transfer. The staff presentation said the work will allow the plant to increase capacity from 40 million gallons per day to 55 million gallons per day when complete.

The utilities presenter told the council that several valves that would allow isolation of the clear wells cannot be obtained quickly — new valves were estimated at 20 to 30 weeks out — so the contractor will install line stops and a bypass now and the city will replace the valves later as a separate effort funded in the valve replacement program.

On the venturi purchase, staff said the valve dates to 1986 and, while currently operable, is showing wear; the replacement is budgeted and intended as a precaution so backwashing of filters is not interrupted if the old valve fails.

Council members asked for clarification of the cost documents (a misprint in the packet was corrected on the record) and pressed for completion dates. Staff said the contractor’s projected completion date in its CPM schedule is Sept. 23 (year as provided by contractor). Council approved the additional work and the venturi purchase unanimously.

Council and staff framed these votes as moves to keep the project on schedule without forcing the plant to operate with fewer clear wells than state requirements permit; staff emphasized the valve lead times as the reason for the temporary bypass approach.","City council approved additional construction and a replacement venturi valve for the ongoing water treatment plant rehabilitation project, using contingency funds and existing project budgets; council discussed timelines and supply delays for replacement valves.","actionData","errors"]
