NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO ON BEHALF OF THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM JANUARY 5TH 2021 AS TIM H. NELSON DAY. [APPLAUSE] I THINK YOUR COUNCIL PROBABLY WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, BUT LET ME GIVE YOU THE FIRST WORD. THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY DID WRITE SOMETHING, BUT THERE'S NO WAY, THERE'S NO WAY I'LL MAKE IT THROUGH IT. SO MAYBE READ A COUPLE OF EXCERPTS OF KIND OF WHAT WAS ON MY MIND AS I PUT THIS TOGETHER AND REFLECTED UPON BEING HERE FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. I KIND OF STARTED IT OFF BY SAYING THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR DAYS AGO, ON MAY 14, 2011, I WAS ELECTED TO THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL. ON THAT SAME DAY, MY SON WAS SEVEN. MY DAUGHTER CLAIRE WAS FIVE AND MY LITTLEST HERE WAS ONLY ONE. THEY SAY TIME FLIES ULTIMATELY WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN AND THERE WAS A LOT OF FUN TO BE HAD ON THE CITY COUNCIL, A LOT OF GOOD TIMES, A LOT OF ENJOYMENT. BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE THAT HAD TO BE SPENT ALONG THE WAY TO GET US HERE. THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU THINK THAT TIME GOES BY ALMOST IN AN INSTANT, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY AS AN ADULT, YOU KNOW, YOU GO THROUGH YOUR DAILY ROUTINES AND YOU FIGURE, HEY, IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS. BUT ALL IT TAKES ME IS A FEW MINUTES TO LOOK BACK AT WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS AND REALIZING THAT AT AGES SEVEN, FIVE AND ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE THREE KIDS THAT HAVE NEVER KNOWN A DAD, NOT ON THE COUNCIL. SO I OWE THEM A LOT OF TIME. I OWE THEM A LOT OF TIME. AND SO THAT'S MY FIRST COMMITMENT IS TO GIVE THAT TIME BACK TO YOU GUYS. THAT'S IMPORTANT. WHEN I MOVED TO FRISCO IN 1999, THE ENTIRE TWENTY SIX THOUSAND FOLKS [00:15:04] HERE, TWENTY SIX THOUSAND. WHEN I FIRST RAN FOR CITY COUNCIL IN 2008, THERE WERE LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND. AND IT'S JUST FASCINATING TO REALIZE HOW MANY FOLKS ARE HERE NOW. WE'RE RIGHT OVER TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE. AND DURING MY TERM ON THE COUNCIL, WE WENT FROM APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE TO ABOUT TWO HUNDRED FIVE, TWO HUNDRED AND SIX NOW. AND ON THAT NOTE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S TWO FOLKS HERE THAT HAVE BEEN JUST REAL CLOSE ALLIES, MY GREAT FRIENDS, FRATERNITY BROTHERS OF MINE. I HAD DOMINIC LACASSE HERE AND DAVE PAUL, WHO HAS SERVED AS MY TREASURER SINCE 2008. AND I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR BEING THERE FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY WE'RE SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM. I SAID, YOU KNOW, LET'S DO THIS AND GOT SOME SHAKES OF THE HEAD. AND THEY'RE LIKE, DUDE WE'LL BACK YOU 100 PERCENT. AND THEY'VE BEEN THERE. THEY'VE BEEN THERE THE ENTIRE 13 YEARS OR SO. AND I COULDN'T THANK YOU MORE. GOT CLOSE FRIENDS HERE FROM THE COMMUNITY. I GET THE KNOX'S AND WE'VE SEEN OUR KIDS GROW UP TOGETHER. VALERIE AND ELISE AND THEIR SON AND JONATHAN JUST IT'S AMAZING TO REMEMBER THEM AS LITTLE ONES AND GETTING SO MUCH OLDER. AND IT'S HARD TO FIND, YOU KNOW, GREAT FRIENDS THAT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T ALWAYS AGREE. IT'S GOOD TO BE THERE. AND MY VFW BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT AND OTHER FRIENDS THAT I'VE MET ALONG THE WAY RUNNING FOR COUNCIL, I SEE JOSH AND I SEE MANY OTHERS THAT I THINK I SAW [INAUDIBLE] IN HERE. AND THERE'S TOO MANY TO MENTION ALL BY NAME. BUT I THANK YOU ALL. I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I THANK YOU ALL FOR SPENDING THE TIME TO TWIST ME, YOU KNOW, TAKE ME BY THE EAR AND SAY, HEY, I GOT SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH YOU. MAYBE YOU'RE NOT ON TRACK ON THIS. MAYBE YOU NEED TO HEAR ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. AND I TOOK THOSE WORDS. I TOOK THOSE WORDS TO HEART. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME WHILE I WAS ON THE COUNCIL WAS ALWAYS TRY AND KEEP THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE AVERAGE PERSON THAT LIVES HERE IN FRISCO. THE PERSON THAT'S LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY, THE PERSON THAT GOES TO WORK, YOU KNOW, EARLY IN THE MORNING, COMES HOME, HAS DINNER, MAYBE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME WITH THEIR KIDS, RINSES AND REPEATS THE NEXT DAY. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE EVERY DAY. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THAT. AND SO WHEN WE HAD THE LARGER PROJECTS, THOSE WERE THE THINGS I'D BRING UP. WHAT'S IN IT? WHAT WOULD-- I KNOW WE'RE DOING THIS GREAT THING FOR THE CITY. BUT, YOU KNOW, IF I'M LIVING IN HILLCREST, LEBANON, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME? AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS ALWAYS IMPORTANT. AND ON THAT NOTE, I NEVER GOT TOO CLOSE TO DEVELOPERS, NEVER WANTED TO. THESE GUYS ARE SMART. THEY'RE TALENTED. THEY'RE CHARISMATIC AND THEY'LL MAKE YOU SEE THINGS THEIR WAY. AND I NEVER-- I ALWAYS MADE SURE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, ALWAYS WITH MULTIPLE FOLKS, ALWAYS IN A PUBLIC PLACE AND NEVER USUALLY MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE OTHER THAN A PHONE CALL, I JUST I FELT THAT THAT WAS IMPORTANT SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF BIAS. TO CITY COUNCIL, I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO SERVE WITH A GREAT GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN . YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST SERVED, THERE ARE THREE OTHERS THAT AREN'T KNOWN HERE TONIGHT, ONES BUSY IN WASHINGTON, D.C., YOU KNOW, AND ONE ANOTHER ONE RAN FOR MAYOR. ANOTHER ONE SERVED FOR NINE YEARS WITH ME. THAT'S PAT FALLON. THAT'S BOB ALLEN. AND THAT'S SCOTT JOHNSON. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT FROM EACH ONE OF THEM, I LEARNED SOMETHING AND SOMETIMES WHAT TO DO, SOMETIMES WHAT NOT TO DO. AND OFTENTIMES THE WHAT NOT TO DO IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WHAT TO DO. FROM THOSE THAT ARE ON THE COUNCIL HERE TODAY, I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED FROM THEM ALONG THE WAY. YOU KNOW, WITH BRIAN LIVINGSTON. I THINK THE THING THAT I GOT FROM HIM, ESPECIALLY IN HIS THREE YEARS ON COUNCIL, WAS REALLY HIS ABILITY TO CHALLENGE HIS OWN PERCEPTIONS, HIS COMING IN AND SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, I BELIEVE X, Y AND Z, BUT DIGGING IN AND WILLING TO QUESTION AND LEARN MORE. AND SOMETIMES WHAT HE PERCEIVED WAS RIGHT AND HE WAS ABLE TO VALIDATE THAT. AND OTHER TIMES HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE COURAGEOUS STEP TO SAY, WHOA, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I DIDN'T SEE THAT THE WHOLE WAY. AND NOW I'M GOING TO REEVALUATE AND COME UP WITH ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE. JOHN, YOU KNOW, HE KEEPS IT AS REAL AS ANYONE. HIS LEVEL OF HUMOR. HE WILL BREAK THINGS DOWN WHEN THINGS START GETTING TENSE AND HE WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT GUYS, YOU KNOW, ALTHOUGH THIS IS SERIOUS, THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE MORE SERIOUS. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU GET SOMEONE SHOOTING AT YOU AND, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY THAT THIS IS NOT SO BAD THAT GUYS, THERE'S SOME LEVITY AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET ALONG. SHONA, BY FAR, THE THING THAT I GOT FROM HER IS JUST TENACITY, JUST TENACITY, JUST GOING AT THINGS, MAKING SURE PUSHING. OTHER PEOPLE STARTED THINKING, NO, WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. AND SHE'S LIKE, WELL, HOLD ON NOW. WELL, WE'RE NO LEAVING THIS ITEM, THIS TOPIC TODAY. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE ON. WILL. WILL IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE ON ALMOST ANY ISSUE THAT COMES FOR THE COUNCIL. YOU KNOW, HE DELIBERATES. HE THINKS IF YOU SPEND ANY TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU'LL SEE THAT HE WILL SHARE HIS [00:20:01] THOUGHTS IN THAT WAY. OFTENTIMES, I CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE BOTTOM. BUT AND HONESTLY, THAT'S THAT'S AN ADD THING ON MY END, OK? IT'S NOT ON YOURS. BU IT REALLY ALLOWED ME TO THINK, WOW, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND REALLY THINK THROUGH IT. AND OF COURSE, BILL. BILL IS ONE OF THE GUY THAT WAS BACK THERE AT THE VERY BEGINNING AS WELL, YOU KNOW, IN 2008, SITTING AROUND A TABLE AND SAYING, HEY, LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN. YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN HE WAS ON PLANNING AND ZONING, ET CETERA. BILL IS YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO THINK SOMETIMES THAT I HAVE ATTENTION DETAIL, BUT BILL IS ANALYTICAL AS YOU CAN GET. I MEAN, HE'S WONDERING WHY THE COMMAS IN THE WRONG SPOT AND SHOULD THAT REALLY BE A COLON OR A SEMICOLON? AND THIS READS DIFFERENTLY THIS WAY. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND I APPRECIATE BILL FOR THAT BECAUSE IT MATTERS. AND JEFF, THERE'S NO QUESTION FROM BEING OF MY EARLY SUPPORTERS, ONE, THAT WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG GUY STILL IN MY 30S THINKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR COUNCIL, HE WAS ONE OF TWO, THE VERY FIRST ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT EVER SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, TIM, I SEE SOMETHING IN YOU, MAN. I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT I'M GOING TO LET'S GET TOGETHER. LET'S BREAK BREAD. LET'S TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE GOING. AND THAT'S A GUY WHO WAS ONLY ONE YEAR IN AS A CITY COUNCILMAN. I CAN'T THANK JEFF AND DANA AND HIS FAMILY MORE ANY MORE THAN-- THERE'S NO WAY TO THANK ENOUGH FOR ALL OF THAT. AND SO HE'S JUST THE BIGGEST CHAMPION OF FRISCO. HE IS WEARING THAT FLAG. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO GRAPHIC, BUT IF ANYONE HAS FRISCO BOXER BRIEFS, IT'S PROBABLY JEFF CHENEY AND THAT-- NOT TONIGHT. AND SO FOR THAT, I APPRECIATE THAT IT'S INSPIRED BY THE DAYS WHEN I'VE HAD CHALLENGES. AND, YOU KNOW, LASTLY AND DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, MY FAMILY. THIS IS THE PART WHERE I GET EMOTIONAL, BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT-- I REALLY DO THINK ABOUT THE NIGHT THAT I WASN'T AT A FAMILY EVENT. OR I COULDN'T BE THERE AND I NEVER WANTED THE IMPRESSION TO BE THAT YOU GUYS WERE SECOND. THAT SOMETHING WAS EVER MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU, AND THAT'S A STRUGGLE, THAT'S A STRUGGLE. I'M SURE EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL FEELS AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN THERE'S A THERE'S AN IMPORTANT LIFE A MILESTONE GOING ON. AND FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, YOU CAN'T BE THERE BECAUSE OF A COMMITMENT THAT YOU MADE TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO TO INCLUDE YOUR FAMILY. AND I THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE DON'T GO. YOU'VE NEVER-- YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN SUPPORTIVE. AND THAT'S TOUGH. THAT'S THAT IS DEFINITELY--. AN UNDYING LOVE THAT I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. AND IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GIVING BACK SOME TIME TO YOU AS FAMILY. TO DAN, AS PEOPLE PROBABLY KNOW, I'M THE HUGEST SUPPORTER OF TERM LIMITS. LOVE THEM. I THINK THAT A GREAT THING. I THINK THEY'RE A GREAT THING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL. I THINK THEY'RE A GREAT THING FOR THE ORGANIZATION. THEY'RE GOOD FOR THE INDIVIDUAL. BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN GET COMPLACENT OVER TIME. SOMETIMES THEY JUST DO IT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR SO LONG. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION BECAUSE YOU GET FRESH PERSPECTIVE AND FRESH BLOOD. AND I'M SO EXCITED THAT DAN'S GOING TO BE ON THE COUNCIL AND CAN BE CONTINUED TO PUSH ON. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE THINGS THAT HE WILL SEE IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAT I DIDN'T SEE AND WILL BRING ADDITIONAL VALUE TO THE COUNCIL AND TO ME AS A FUTURE RESIDENT, ONLY IF YOU WILL. SO I'M SO EXCITED. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WHEN HE'S DOING SOMETHING I LIKE, I'LL LET HIM KNOW AS WELL. BUT AND THEN LASTLY, I'M GOING TO TAKE IT, I GUESS, A LITTLE POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE. THIS IS DEFINITELY UNORTHODOX, BUT I SEE WE HAVE CHIEF PILAND AND CHIEF SHILSON HERE. AND I WOULD LIKE YOU TWO TO COME UP, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, JUST FOR A MOMENT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW, AND I THINK AS I LOOK AROUND, EVERYONE IN THE ROOM PROBABLY ALREADY KNOWS THIS, YOU ONLY SPEND ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF OUR BUDGET, OUR CITY BUDGET ON PUBLIC SAFETY. WHY DO WE DO THAT? SO WE CAN KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN A WONDERFUL AND A SAFE PLACE WHERE WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT. YOU WANT TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE NIGHT, GO FOR A WALK IN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A HEALTH ISSUE WITHIN THE HOUSE, YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE THERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE PROMPTLY. AND IT'S ONE OF THE MANY, MANY REASONS PEOPLE COME TO FRISCO, OBVIOUSLY [00:25:01] ONE OF THE REASONS AS WELL AS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. BUT GENTLEMEN, THE WORK THAT YOUR DEPARTMENTS DO, NOT JUST YOU AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT I REALLY WANTED TO TALK TO THE DEPARTMENTS, IS SOMETHING THAT I'M FOREVER THANKFUL FOR. YOU'VE RESPONDED TO MY FATHER BEING IN A BAD PLACE AND WERE THERE TO HELP HIM. AND THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. SO I DO HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING THAT I'M ACTUALLY GIVING TO YOU AND THE DEPARTMENTS THAT IS, AGAIN, A LITTLE UNORTHODOX. SO WOULD YOU MIND HOLDING THIS FOR A SECOND? I HAVE A TENDENCY TO OVERCOMMIT. I WILL DO A LOT OF THINGS BECAUSE I LOVE GIVING BACK AND I GOT THESE TWO PRINTS HONESTLY PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO. AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO PRESENT TO BOTH DEPARTMENTS FOR THE WORK THAT YOU WERE DOING. AND, YOU KNOW, NOW I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO THEM LIKE, WOW, I HAPPEN TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FREE MORE TIME AS I'M NOT PREPARING FOR AN AGENDA THIS WEEK. WHY DON'T I GET THESE FRAMED? SO I WANTED TO PRESENT THESE TWO, ONE TO BOTH POLICE AND FIRE. AND I'LL JUST READ WHAT IT SAYS FIRST. AND WHAT IT SAYS IS, AS THIS ONE'S FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE OTHER IS VERY SIMILAR FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, IT SAYS IN HONOR OF FRISCO'S FINEST OR IN THAT CASE, FRISCO'S BRAVEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. I APPRECIATE IT. AND WHAT IT IS, IS KIND OF A HISTORY OF FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS THROUGH THE AGES. AND I WANTED TO PRESENT THIS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR ALL [INAUDIBLE]. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, JEFF. AND CHIEF ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW MORE OF THOSE. WE'LL MAKE SURE WE'LL GET ONE IN EACH DEPARTMENT IN EACH STATION, SO WE GET TO GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. THANKS. [APPLAUSE] SO, LOOK, I THANK YOU, I KNOW A LOT OF YOU HERE FOR DAN, A LOT OF YOU HERE FOR ME, A LOT OF YOU HERE FOR BOTH. IT'S AN EXCITING NIGHT. I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I LOOK FORWARD TO STILL BEING AN ENGAGED CITIZEN. AND, YOU KNOW, I SAID SOMETHING TO SCOTT JOHNSON WHEN HE WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE, STANDING RIGHT HERE AFTER HE HAD FINISHED NINE YEARS AND WE WERE DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR. AND I TOLD SCOTT AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS, AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A TITLE TO BE A LEADER. AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL FOR SURE BE A LEADER. I KNOW I WON'T HAVE A TITLE, BUT WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO CONTINUE CARRYING THE FRISCO FLAG AND CHAMPION WHAT WE'RE DOING, SUPPORTING YOU GUYS AND GALS WHEN I CAN. AND IF I DON'T, FOR ONE OTHER CRAZY REASON, MAYBE I'LL STAND UP THERE AND LET YOU KNOW. BUT I'LL PROBABLY JUST GIVE YOU A CALL AND THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT. I JUST THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A GREAT 10 YEARS. I'VE LEARNED A LOT. AND I THANK THE CITIZENS AND THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY. THERE'S NOTHING MORE HUMBLING THAN BEING ASKED BY YOUR PEERS TO SERVE. AND I THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT TRUST IN ME OVER THE YEARS. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] WELL, THAT WAS THE BEST SPEECH YOU'VE EVER GIVEN IN NINE AND A HALF YEARS OR SOMETHING. SO, YEAH, WE JOKE, YOU GIVE A POLITICIAN A MIC, YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT BACK. AND IT'S YOUR LAST NIGHT TO BE A POLITICIAN, I SUPPOSE. SO, TIM, I THINK YOUR COLLEAGUES WANT TO COME UP AND I'M SURE SHARE A FEW WORDS AS WELL SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WAY UP IF YOU LIKE. BUT I'LL JUST KIND OF START BRIEFLY. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL AND DAN YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN THIS IS THAT YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH ONE ANOTHER. SOMETIMES WE FEEL LIKE TOO MUCH TIME. BUT WE KIND OF WE DISCUSS THAT WE'RE LIKE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THAT SOME DAYS WE FIGHT, SOME DAYS WE AGREE. SOME DAYS WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE TO EAT, YOU KNOW? BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER AND WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER. AND LOTS OF MEMORIES OVER NINE AND A HALF YEARS. WELL, REALLY, FOR-- I REMEMBER YOUR FIRST ELECTION, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN 12 AND A HALF YEARS AGO. SO TIM DID NOT WIN HIS FIRST ELECTION AND BUT HE CAME BACK THREE YEARS LATER AND WON THAT SEAT OVER THE INCUMBENT. SO I THINK THE CITY OF FRISCO REALIZED WE WERE MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING THAT FIRST GO ROUND AND HE STUCK TO IT. AND SO OBVIOUSLY SEEN YOU GROW THROUGHOUT THESE YEARS. YOU'VE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO, SERVING THE COUNTRY, BEING A GREAT LEADER FOR THE CITY, YOU KNOW, BUT WE SAY WE ACTUALLY AS A COUNCIL AFTER I WAS ELECTED, WE ALL TOOK PERSONALITY PROFILES AND THAT WAS INTERESTING. BUT, TIM, REALLY, EVERYONE ON THIS COUNCIL SERVED A ROLE. AND I MEAN, HE WAS ONE OF HIS LINES. SO EVERY TIME WE WOULD DO BOARD APPOINTMENTS AND I'LL USE THIS LINE EVERY YEAR THAT WE DO BOARD APPOINTMENTS AND I'LL CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU CREDIT, HE WOULD EXPLAIN. HE WOULD SAY, AS WE'RE FILLING PLANNING AND ZONING OR EC OR ALL THESE DIFFERENT BOARDS, WE [00:30:04] NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FILLING OUT A GREAT TEAM, THAT YOU AS AN APPLICANT MAY BE A GREAT SHORTSTOP, BUT WE MAY ALREADY HAVE A GREAT SHORTSTOP AND WE NEED A SECOND BASEMAN. AND SO TIM DEFINITELY FILLED AN INCREDIBLE ROLE FOR THIS CITY COUNCIL. HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL, HE WOULD ALWAYS JOKE, I'M DREAMING UP IN THE, YOU KNOW, SEEING UNICORNS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO. AND HE WAS ALWAYS THE ONE LIKE, WELL, JEFF, HOW DO WE ACTUALLY EXECUTE THAT? HOW DO WE DO IT? HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT? AND SO I'M JUST REALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOU. YOU'RE GOING TO BE MISSED, YOUR LEADERSHIP IS GOING TO BE MISSED. VERY THOUGHTFUL. SO THE LAST THING I'LL SAY ABOUT TIM THAT I ALWAYS ADMIRED WATCHING HIM OVER THE YEARS IS HE WOULD LISTEN BEFORE HE WOULD SPEAK. AND SO EVERY MEETING WHEN I'M GOING AROUND KIND OF POLLING THE COUNCIL, TIM WAS USUALLY ALWAYS THE LAST PERSON TO SPEAK ON ANY TOPIC WE HAD. AND THAT'S BECAUSE HE WANTED TO ABSORB THE INFORMATION. HE WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND REALLY BE THOUGHTFUL. AND WHEN WE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO SPEAK, THEN WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO PAY ATTENTION. SO, TIM, I'M GOING TO MISS YOU, BUDDY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO CITIZENS OF FRISCO. TIM, MADELINE, KIDS. YOU KNOW, TIM, SERIOUSLY, YOU'VE BEEN THAT GUY, AT LEAST IN MY TIME, THAT WHENEVER WE GET TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING, YOU PROBABLY MORE THAN ANY OF US ARE VERY FOCUSED ON WHAT IS IN IT FOR THE RESIDENT OF FRISCO? WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE AVERAGE RESIDENT? WHAT DO THEY GET OUT OF THIS? AND WHILE WE ALL MAY BE TALKING ABOUT GROWTH AND HOW WE DO THIS, YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT JUST BRINGING IT BACK TO HOW DOES THAT WORK? WHY DOES THAT MATTER TO THE REGULAR FRISCO RESIDENT? I THINK THAT'S ADMIRABLE FOR ALL OF US. AND THEN TO ECHO THE MAYOR'S POINT JUST NOW, ALWAYS STUDIOUS, ALWAYS LISTENING, ALWAYS SEEING WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY AND THEN SPEAKING AND TAKING THAT AND SAYING, OK, HOW CAN WE REALLY DO WHAT WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT DOING? YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE EGO. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE SERVICE. AND THAT IS JUST SUCH A GREAT CREDIT ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TIM, WHEN I DECIDED TO RUN FIVE YEARS AGO, YOU WERE ONE OF THE ONES THAT SHOWED UP TO ALL MY EVENTS AND SOME OF MY EVENTS WERE PRETTY MUCH JUST YOU, ME AND MY WIFE. [LAUGHTER] AND I APPRECIATE THAT. NOW, I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT. YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW IT'S ROUGH START. BUT YOU TOOK TIME TO GET TO KNOW ME EARLY ON. YOU GAVE ME ADVICE AND I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT JUST THAT STICKS OUT WITH ME AND I'LL ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU FOR THAT. AND I HOPE I CAN RETURN THAT FAVOR TO OTHERS IN THE FUTURE. MY BEST STORY IS HE'S TALKED ABOUT HOW COMMITTED HE HAS BEEN AND OVERCOMMITTED AND STUFF. AND I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME TIME WITH HIM TO TALK ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN AND GET SOME WISDOM AND SOME ADVICE. AND HE WAS IGNORING ME, I THINK AND THREE AM ON A I THINK A THURSDAY MORNING, I GET A TEXT. ARE YOU FREE TO TALK? [LAUGHTER] I WAS LIKE, YES. AND WE TALKED FOR LIKE PROBABLY AN HOUR AND A HALF. AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU GAVE ME AS AN EARLY COUNCILMAN, AS AN EARLY CANDIDATE. I APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU'VE GIVEN TO FRISCO AND THE PASSION THAT YOU SERVED AND JUST THE APPROACH YOU TAKE TO EVERYTHING. IT'S BEEN NOTICED BY MANY. IT'S BEEN RESPECTED BY US. AND I HOPE WE CAN STAY IN TOUCH AND FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ANY TIME AT THREE O'CLOCK. I MET YOU FIVE YEARS AGO AND I TOLD MY WIFE I SAID THIS. I DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEONE COULD NOT LIKE HIM. AND FIVE YEARS LATER, I STILL CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. SO CONGRATULATIONS, SIR. TIM, OH, I WAS HERE WHEN YOU GOT HERE AND I'M HERE WHEN YOU LEFT. [LAUGHTER] YEAH, I GUESS YOU COULD ALL SAY THAT FOR A MOMENT. I JUST KEEP CHANGING SEATS, CHANGING SEATS. WE'VE HAD SOME GREAT ADVENTURES AND SOME REALLY GREAT TIMES. AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES WAS GOING TO SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, WITH YOU AND HOW YOU SAID HOW YOU KIND OF PLANNED OUT THE WHOLE DAY AND SAID, WE'RE GOING TO THE BOEING FACTORY. WE'RE GOING TO GO LOOK AT SOME COIN SHOPS. WE'RE GOING TO TRY THE LOCAL CRAFT BEER AND THE SMOKED SALMON. WE'RE GOING TO GO UP IN THE SPACE NEEDLE. WE'RE GOING TO DO ALL THIS STUFF. AND I SAID, WELL, I DON'T USUALLY GET UP UNTIL LIKE TEN OR ELEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO FIT ALL THAT STUFF IN. AND YOU WERE LIKE, NO WE'RE GETTING UP. WE'RE DOING ALL THIS STUFF. SO THAT WAS THE JOKE, BY THE WAY. BUT TIM IS A FANTASTIC GUY. AND WHATEVER HE'S DOING, WHEREVER HE'S GOING, HE'S GOT A PLAN AND HE'S GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OUT EVERY DAY. AND THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND THAT'S BEEN MY ONE BIG TAKEAWAY IS YOU LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. YOU TAKE IT BY THE HORNS AND YOU GO FULL THROTTLE. AND EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND YOUR PASSION FOR THE HARD WORKING FRISCO TAXPAYER. AND THOSE ARE ALL TRUE. [00:35:01] BUT I THINK YOUR ZEST FOR LIFE AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO GO DOWNRANGE AND ON BEHALF OF OTHERS AND TO TAKE A YEAR OFF OF COUNSELING. I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY REMEMBERS THIS, TIM DEPLOYED WHILE HE WAS A COUNCIL MEMBER FOR ONE YEAR IN AFGHANISTAN. AND THAT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY SUCH A FANTASTIC LEADERSHIP EXAMPLE. IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE. SO, TIM, I'LL KEEP IT SHORT. WE TALKED THIS MORNING AND HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I'LL SIMPLY SAY, AS I ALWAYS SAY TO ALL MY VETERAN FRIENDS, YOU HAVE PROVEN TIME AND AGAIN-- NOT TRYING TO GET EMOTIONAL HERE, TOO. YOU CAN SERVE YOUR COUNTRY BY SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND WELCOME HOME. [APPLAUSE] TIM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT YOU MOST IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE SO THOUGHTFUL IN THE DETAILS AND IN COMING UP WITH WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON SOMETHING THAT WE'RE PURSUING OR LOOKING AT, IT'S NEVER PERSONAL. IT IS ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL. AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT IN OUR DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE WE CAN HAVE SOME HEATED DISCUSSIONS AND WE CAN REALLY GET FRUSTRATED AT TIMES WITH EACH OTHER, WITH BOGGED DOWN IN THOSE DETAILS OF WHERE WE'RE GOING. BUT IT WAS NEVER PERSONAL. WE COULD TURN AROUND. AND THEN THE NEXT THING WAS, HOW IS YOUR FAMILY? HOW ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU DOING? AND I APPRECIATE THAT THAT'S WHERE YOU REPRESENT YOURSELF AS A HUMAN BEING. AND I THINK WE HAVE LOST A LOT OF THAT IN EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO THAT WE'RE STILL JUST HUMAN BEINGS. AND SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU CONSISTENTLY HAD THAT IS WHO YOU WERE. AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM, THERE'S TWO DISTINCT MEMORIES I HAVE OF YOU. AND THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT IN THE SPECTRUM. THEY'RE ON BOTH ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM. ONE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL THINGS IS WHEN WE DO OUR MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE. HOW YOU STARTED THE PROCESS OF THE ROLL CALL BASICALLY OF THOSE WHO PEOPLE HAD LOST. AND AS YOU WOULD GO AROUND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND ALLOW PEOPLE THE CHANCE TO VOICE THE NAME OF SOMEONE THAT THEY WERE REMEMBERING SO THAT IT WAS STILL SPOKEN OUT FOR US ALL TO REMEMBER IS SUCH A POWERFUL MOMENT THAT ALWAYS WILL RESIDE WITH ME. AND I HOPE AND PRAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT AS A TRADITION THAT YOU'VE CREATED, NUMBER ONE. AND THE SECOND THING NOT AT ALL AS SERIOUS. I THINK YOU WILL FOREVER HOLD THE WINNING TITLE OF BEST USE OF WORD OF THE NIGHT. WHEN YOU WERE THE CAT WHISPERER. SO I APPRECIATE THAT WHEN WE HAVE OUR MOMENTS OF FRIENDLINESS AND OUR THE WAY THAT WE STAND TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS BEHIND THE DAIS, THAT YOU WERE WILLING TO JUMP IN AND ENJOY IT AND HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH THAT. AND SO YOU WILL FOREVER HOLD THAT TITLE AS THE BEST USE OF THE SECRET WORD. SO CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SERVICE. AND I DO HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY THIS TIME OF STEPPING BACK AND ENJOYING YOUR FAMILY IN THIS NEXT PHASE THAT YOU'RE GOING INTO. SO THANKS TIM FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US. [APPLAUSE] WELL, THEY GIVE ME THE MIC LAST BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS THE SHORTEST ON SPEAKING TIME ANYWAY, AND I GET TO SAY, YEAH, WHAT THEY SAID. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, TIM, I REMEMBER SITTING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM BACK IN 2008 AND THAT FIRST ELECTION AND YOU MISSING THAT WIN BY JUST THAT MUCH. AND I REMEMBER-- 63. AND I REMEMBER THREE YEARS LATER WHEN YOU ANNOUNCED YOU'RE RUNNING AGAIN AND I SAID, I'M IN. I'M ABSOLUTELY IN BECAUSE THIS IS A GUY WHEN HE RAN THE FIRST TIME TO BRIAN'S POINT, I MET HIM AND I WAS LIKE, NO, THAT'S THE GUY. THAT'S THE GUY THAT NEEDS TO BE SITTING UP HERE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE ADMIRED MOST ABOUT YOU OVER THE YEARS IS YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SIT DOWN WITH LITERALLY ANYBODY THAT WANTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY TOPIC. NOTHING WAS OFF LIMITS AND YOU NEVER TURNED ANYBODY AWAY. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE TRIED TO CARRY WITH ME BECAUSE OF THAT EXAMPLE THAT YOU SET WHEN YOU FIRST RAN. IT'S ALWAYS IMPRESSED ME. YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS, LIKE EVERYBODY SAID, AND SERIOUSLY, YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR. OH, MY GOD. SOMETIMES YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN HE'S JOKING. AND YOU HAVE TO REALLY KIND OF THINK ABOUT IT AND LOOK AT HIM. AND, YEAH, LIKE SHONA SAID, THE FUNNIEST MOMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOSE OUR CAT WHISPERER NOW. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP OVER THE YEARS, YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR MENTORSHIP IN SOME CASES. AND WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] I KNOW OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS TO CELEBRATE DAN'S VICTORY, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. I DID FORGET ONE THING. AND FOR ANYONE THAT'S HERE, YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THIS. ANYONE THAT MAY BE WATCHING ONLINE PROBABLY KNOWS THIS AS WELL. [00:40:04] BUT I CAN'T JUST REST ON YOU PROBABLY KNOWING. YOU NEED TO KNOW. AND THAT IS THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS THE FINEST STAFF OF ANY CITY ANYWHERE. HANDS DOWN. WE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE MEETINGS WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WE'VE GONE TO NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITY MEETINGS, WHICH INCLUDE CITY STAFF, DEPARTMENT HEADS, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MAYORS, ET CETERA, ON A NATIONWIDE BASIS. YOU KNOW, [INAUDIBLE] THIS CITY STAFF LED BY GEORGE PUREFOY, OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, YOU KNOW, HENRY HILL NOW LAYING BEN BREZINA FABULOUS AND ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, AS WE ALREADY MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, FIRE AND POLICE HERE. AND IT CAN'T GO WITHOUT BEING SAID THAT WITHOUT THEM, AND ALL DUE PRAISE TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, ALL DUE PRAISE WITHOUT THEM, WE WOULD NOT BE THE CITY THAT WE ARE TODAY. SO IT REALLY IS A COHESIVE EFFORT, A COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN GREAT CITY STAFF AND LEADERS THAT ARE WILLING TO TAKE RISK. AND I JUST WANTED TO NOT LEAVE HERE TONIGHT WITHOUT PAYING THE PRAISES TO GEORGE AND THE REST OF THE CITY STAFF THAT WORKS LONG HOURS. THEY'RE GONE EVERY TIME WE HAVE A MEETING, THEY'RE HERE TONIGHT, YOU KNOW, FABULOUS. AND WHEN YOU SEE THOSE GUYS, YOU KNOW, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN A UTILITY TRUCK OR YOU SEE SOMEONE EMPTYING A TRASH CAN, PARKS AND REGULAR REALLY THANK THEM. THEY ARE DOING IT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN THE BEST CITY POSSIBLE. AND I'M FOREVER, FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR NOT ONLY THE MENTORSHIP THAT THEY GAVE ME AS A YOUNG COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT ALSO THE WORK THAT THEY CONTINUE TO DO IN THEIR DEDICATION. SO THANKS. [APPLAUSE] AND I GUESS WITH THAT, PLEASE JOIN ME WITH ONE FINAL THANK YOU AND SEND OFF TO COUNCIL MEMBER TIM H NELSON. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, BONNIE. OK, WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH ITEM SEVEN, WHICH IS THE ISSUANCE OF THE STATEMENT OF ELECTED OFFICE, THE OATH OF OFFICE AND THE CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION TO DAN STRICKLIN FOR CITY COUNCIL PLACE FIVE. [APPLAUSE] AND I DO HAVE TO NOTE THAT THE OFFICIAL OATH HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN AND I HAVE ALREADY SIGNED OFF ON THE CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION, BUT WE WILL GIVE OUR OFFICIAL CEREMONY. OK, DON'T BE ALARMED. WE'RE GOING TO READ A LOT OF WORDS REALLY QUICKLY, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS. SO DON'T BE SHOCKED. OK, SO REPEAT AFTER ME. I DAN STRICKLIN DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL PLACE FIVE OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, TEXAS. I DAN STRICKLAND DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL PLACE FIVE OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, TEXAS. AND I WILL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE. AND WILL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE. AND COMPLY WITH THE FRISCO CITY CHARTER RELATIVE TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW, THE MISUSE OF OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS. SO HELP ME GOD. AND COMPLY WITH THE FRISCO'S CITY CHARTER RELATIVE TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND OPEN MEETING LAW, THE MISUSE OF OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS. SO HELP ME GOD. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] SO I'M GOING TO BE BRIEF IN MY COMMENTS, I'VE GOT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE I WANT TO THANK. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS MY WIFE, CARA, FOR BEING WITH ME FOR THE PAST 14 MONTHS. [APPLAUSE] MY DAUGHTER, CATHERINE. [00:45:05] YEAH, WELL, IN THIS ELECTION AND WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 17 YEARS, OUR 16 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IS IN FEBRUARY. SO MY DAUGHTER CATHERINE. YES. MY SON JACK, THANK YOU FOR LETTING YOUR DADDY GO DO THIS. I KNOW IT WAS TOUGH ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN THE KNOCKING TEAM WOULD COME OVER EARLIER IN THE MORNING AND WE'D GO OUT AND, YOU KNOW, WE'D GO KNOCK AND THE BOYS WOULD [INAUDIBLE] THROUGH THE HOUSE. AND I APPRECIATE YOU ALLOWING THEM TO COME IN OUR LIVES AND HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN. WHERE IS [INAUDIBLE]? IS [INAUDIBLE] HERE? OR [INAUDIBLE]? I KNOW [INAUDIBLE], I SAW [INAUDIBLE] AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO MY GOOD FRIEND [INAUDIBLE]. [INAUDIBLE] HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HE'S BEEN MY ROCK. HE'S BEEN SOMEBODY THAT I CAN ALWAYS DEPEND ON, SOUND MIND AND JUST AN AMAZING FRIEND. THANK YOU SO MUCH, [INAUDIBLE]. AND HE DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN I TALK ABOUT HIM IN PUBLIC, BUT THAT'S OK. FRISCO CONSERVATIVES ARE HERE, BRANDON BIRD AND JASON [INAUDIBLE] [APPLAUSE] AND SO MANY OF YOU, PATRICK [INAUDIBLE], SO MANY OF YOU HELPED OUT WITH MY CAMPAIGN HOURS AND HOURS, RAIN, SHINE. I MEAN, JUST THE WORST WEATHER YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. AND, YOU KNOW, I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN IT WAS ELECTION DAY AND I WAS READY TO GO HOME. AND PATRICK'S LIKE, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. HE'S LIKE, I'M OUT HERE TO THE BITTER END. AND I'M LIKE, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE YOU KNOW, IT'S DARK NOW AND THE OTHER CANDIDATE IS GONE. AND HE'S LIKE, NO. AND SO HE STOOD OUT THERE WITH ME. AND THERE'S ALSO OTHER GREAT PEOPLE IN THIS AUDIENCE, LIKE THE HOWARD AKINS OF THE WORLD AND JUST WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL MICHELLE AUSTIN. DANA, I SEE YOU, DANA, JUDY ADAMS, JUST WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT HELPED OUT MY CAMPAIGN. MY MOM AND MY DAD ARE HERE. WE DID IT RIGHT? [APPLAUSE] SO SAY THE PAST 14 MONTHS HAS REALLY BROUGHT A LOT OF CHALLENGES, OBVIOUSLY COVID HAS BEEN A BIG DEAL. BUT MY FATHER HAD A TRIPLE BYPASS SURGERY LAST DECEMBER, AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL THAT HE'S UP. HE'S WALKING AROUND AND HE CAN BE HERE WITH US TONIGHT. [APPLAUSE] AND MY SISTER [INAUDIBLE] IS HERE, SHE'S MY OLDER SISTER. MY YOUNGER SISTER REBECCA IS HERE AND HER HUSBAND-- IS AARON AROUND HERE? THERE HE IS. AND WITH MY LITTLE NEPHEW, LIAM. SO HE'S ENJOYING THIS, TOO, AS WELL. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH, FRISCO. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE. AND EVERYBODY THAT VOTED FOR ME AND ALL MY SUPPORTERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ROLLING UP MY SLEEVES AND GETTING TO WORK. I APPRECIATE IT. [APPLAUSE] YEAH, I'LL LET DAN I'LL LET YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST OFFICIAL MOTION TO RECESS INTO RECEPTION [5. Recess for Reception.] IF YOU'D LIKE. MOTION TO THE RECESS. GOT A MOTION BY DAN. SECOND BY WILL. OPPOSE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. RECESS FOR RECEPTION. THANK YOU. GOOD POINT. CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECONVENE? [6. Reconvene in Regular Session.] MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED. THE MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. WE'RE RECONVENED INTO REGULAR SESSION AT SEVEN THIRTY FIVE P.M. THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT. [CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)] IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT, NOW IS THE TIME. MAYOR. WE DO HAVE TWO WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. I HAVE JOHN [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN I ALSO HAVE MATTHEW [INAUDIBLE]. IS THAT CORRECT? IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND FILL OUT A BLUE CARD. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. YES. GOOD EVENING. JOHN [INAUDIBLE]. I RESIDE AT 11187 SILVERHORN DRIVE IN FRISCO, TEXAS. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND TO ALL THE RESIDENTS IN FRISCO. COMPLETING MY FIRST FULL YEAR AS A RESIDENT OF FRISCO. AND I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S BEEN A EDUCATIONAL YEAR. IT'S BEEN A GREAT YEAR TO LEARN ABOUT HOW I WOULD SAY THE BETTER HALF OPERATES FACILITIES, YOU KNOW, WHERE I CAME FROM AND AND HAD TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER. BUT TWENTY TWENTY WAS ALSO A BIG YEAR OF A LOT OF CONTENTIOUS STUFF I LEARNED. PEOPLE HAVE TAUGHT ME ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO LEARN ABOUT FRISCO [00:50:02] POLITICS. AND A LOT OF THE POLITICS I LEARNED WAS GOOD. BUT I ALSO HAD SOME DIFFICULTIES BECAUSE I GUESS WHERE I CAME FROM AS A NEIGHBOR COUNCIL MEMBER, I HAD TO TALK TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DEFINITELY DID NOT SHARE MY POLITICAL BELIEFS. I WAS ONE OF THE FEW CONSERVATIVES ON THE BOARD THAT I WAS ON, BUT THAT DID NOT STOP ME FROM MY DUTIES TO HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND GET THINGS DONE FOR THAT SMALL AREA THAT I WAS ELECTED FOR. AND I'M HOPING THAT THIS YEAR WE CAN KIND OF TAKE SOME HEART FROM THAT, BECAUSE EACH OF YOU, I THINK I'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH, IF I HAVEN'T I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT MAKES FRISCO GREAT. [INAUDIBLE] ONE ON ONE. GOT MY DIPLOMA I GUESS HERE IN DECEMBER. TOOK A LITTLE LONGER TO DO SO, BUT IN A WAY THAT WAS GOOD BECAUSE IT STRETCHED OUT. I GOT TO ATTEND A COUPLE OF THE ACTIVITIES TWICE AND GET SECOND LOOKS AT THINGS LIKE PUBLIC WORKS AND OTHER THINGS. BUT THIS YEAR, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE DEALING WITH COVID AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES GOING ON. WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING LATER. BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS I'M REALLY HOPING THAT THIS YEAR IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO, AS WE'RE GETTING INTO THIS NEXT ELECTION PERIOD AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT DONE IN MAY AND MOVE FORWARD THAT WHILE WE MAY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES THAT WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER THAT THAT DOESN'T STOP THE DIALOG. IT DOESN'T STOP THE POSITIVE DIALOG. IT DOESN'T STOP THE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK ON THINGS THAT ARE COMMON GROUND THINGS. I'M SURE I'M GOING TO FIND SOMETHING ON THAT YOU AND I WILL HAVE A DISAGREEMENT ON. BRIAN, DAN, I'VE ALREADY FIGURED OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT MAYBE WE DON'T TOTALLY AGREE ON STUFF, BUT I'D PUT IT TODAY. OK, GOOD. I OWE THEM A COFFEE TALK AND TO LEARN A BIT ABOUT THAT. AND I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT THE OTHER ONES, TOO. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT TO EVERYBODY. I'M AN OLD NAVY SAILOR. I LOVE COFFEE. BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS, IS AS YOU ROLL INTO THIS YEAR, I THINK WE HAVE SOME THINGS WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOCUSED ON. THE BIGGEST THING IS, AS WE'VE SEEN WITH THIS PANDEMIC HAS DONE TO OTHER CITIES, NOT JUST HERE IN TEXAS, BUT BUT IN OTHER STATES, ESPECIALLY STATES THAT REALLY ARE GETTING INTO THE MASK SHAMING AND PUTTING RESTRICTIONS ON OUR BUSINESSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU FOR RESISTING A LOT OF THAT AND DOING WHAT YOU CAN TO KEEP BUSINESSES OPEN, TO KEEP THE SCHOOLS OPEN, TO PUT WHATEVER PRESSURE YOU CAN ON WHETHER IT'S PRESSURE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD OR POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT OR WHATEVER IT TAKES TO TO KEEP THAT GOING. WE'RE SEEING MORE OF THE STUDENTS OPTING TO WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. THEY MISS THEIR FRIENDS. I THINK THE BUSINESSES MISS THEIR CUSTOMERS A LOT. YOU KNOW, WE MISS THOSE BUSINESSES. WE ALSO MISS BEING AROUND OUR NEIGHBORS. AND SO I WANT TO CONCLUDE BY GIVING A MESSAGE TO THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO TRY TO RUN FOR THE OPEN SEATS AS WE HAVE A COUPLE UP, WHATEVER. THEY NEED TO FOCUS ON DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO KEEP FRISCO MOVING FORWARD, TO KEEP THE POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT FRISCO GOING, BUT ALSO TO BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE IT. THEY'RE GETTING UP THERE JUST TO BE EITHER A PUPPET VOTE AND NOT BRING ANY NEW IDEAS. I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE THEM ON THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME CANDIDATES THAT HAVE THOSE KIND OF THINGS. I THINK THE REASON WHY BOTH BRIAN AND DAN DID VERY WELL AND I THINK THAT IN THE RUNOFF, LAURA VERY WELL IS BECAUSE THOSE THREE ARE THE ONES I THINK HAD THE MOST PRIORITIES THAT WERE OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT. THE MOST OF THE CANDIDATES, NICE PEOPLE. BUT IF YOU ASK ME WHAT SOME OF THEM WERE WITH THEIR THREE PRIORITIES WHERE I COULDN'T TELL YOU. I COULD TELL EXACTLY WHAT DAN'S WAS, I COULD ACTUALLY TELL YOU WHAT LAURA'S WAS. I THINK THE TOP TWO PEOPLE WHO PUT THAT OUT THERE, THEY MADE THE RUNOFF AND CANDIDATES COMING FORWARD. YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT. YOU NEED TO HAVE WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO UP THERE? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY NEED TO INCLUDE HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE OF OUR BUSINESSES OPEN? WHAT RESOURCES CAN THE CITY PROVIDE? WHAT CAN WE REQUEST FROM THE STATE TO GET THOSE BUSINESSES OPEN? AND IF WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR HOW ARE WE GOING TO KEEP THINGS CLOSED? BECAUSE WE ALL GOT TO STAY MASKED UP, BECAUSE WE ALL GOT TO STAY IN OUR HOUSES AND NOT BE SOCIAL. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE'RE A SOCIAL FAMILY. WE'RE SOCIAL COMMUNITY. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING PART OF THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOU ALL. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GOD BLESS. [APPLAUSE] MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL. MATTHEW [INAUDIBLE]. 6735 [INAUDIBLE] WAY, THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRISCO FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION. JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS REAL QUICK A POLICY DRAFT THAT IS [INAUDIBLE] DURING YOUR WORK SESSION TONIGHT. AND JUST LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU SOME INFORMATION, HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK. WE'LL ALSO SEND IT TO THE CITY ON OUR ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE SUMMARY DATA THAT WAS GIVEN THAT WE FELT WAS EITHER INFORMATION WAS LEFT OUT OR JUST MISLED. A NUMBER OF THE ISSUES WITH THAT DRAFT, WHICH WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IN GENERAL, BECAUSE [00:55:06] IT'S THE SAME POLICY THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING AFTER FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. JUST NOW, IT'S IN A WRITTEN FORM. BUT WE WILL GET YOU THAT INFORMATION. WE'LL GET IT TO YOU IN A SPREADSHEET AND GET YOU THE COMPARABLE FOR THE NINE CITIES THAT WE COMPARE WITH THAT YOU GUYS JUST GOT A 60 DAY SUMMARY BACK FOR THE OTHER BENEFITS. WE JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT TONIGHT THAT YOU GUYS KNEW WHAT WAS COMING AND THE CITY KNEW IT WAS COMING. AND JUST UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE COME UP HERE AND TALK, IT'S USUALLY ABOUT BENEFITS. IT'S USUALLY ABOUT WORKER'S COMP. WE DON'T COME UP HERE ASKING FOR MORE PAY AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WE'RE ASKING FOR PROTECTION, FOR BENEFITS. WE GOT FOUR OF YOU GUYS HAVE GONE OUT WITH COVID IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I WORKED ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT HOURS IN THE LAST 13 DAYS. OVER TWO TO PAY CYCLE SIDE AND MEET EXERTIONAL RULES. SO WE'RE GOOD ON THAT. BUT AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT WITH YOU GUYS, LET YOU KNOW IT'S COMING AND I WON'T TAKE UP ANY MORE YOUR TIME SINCE TONIGHT'S BEEN A BIG NIGHT. THANK YOU. SO ANYONE ELSE I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO ANY CITIZEN INPUT? MAYOR, COUNCIL. CITIZENS. MY NAME IS ROB ALTMAN THE SECOND, UNITED STATES ARMY MAJOR RETIRED. [INAUDIBLE] STATED THAT FEAR, HONOR AND INTEREST, ARE POLITICAL IMPULSES FELT BY ALL PEOPLE. THE ETHICS COMPLAINT REFERENCED ON AGENDA FORTY FOUR TONIGHT IS AN EXAMPLE OF INTEREST. HEY, ROB, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK DURING THAT ACTUAL AGENDA ITEM OR WOULD YOU PREFER TO DO IT NOW? OK, I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO MISS THE SHOT. SO WE CALL THIS A GREAT AGGIE JOKE. UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE. [LAUGHTER] IF YOU HAVE TIME TO HANG OUT UNTIL THAT ITEM THEN THAT WOULD BE OK. IF THAT'S PREFERRED, FORGIVE ME. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. BIG, BIG, GOOD. OPEN UP. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DOING CITIZEN INPUT? OK, THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR REPORTS. ITEM EIGHT IS THE PARKS AND REC REPORT ON ACTIVITIES RELATED TO ARTS, CULTURE EVENTS, PARK DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS, NATURAL RESOURCES AND RECREATIONAL SERVICES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I HAVE JUST A FEW THINGS, MY REPORT IS THERE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. BUT WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY, AS ALWAYS, TO ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE PLAYED TODAY. I THINK THERE WAS SOME GOOD PLAY HERE TONIGHT. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I'M GOING TO SKIP OVER AND GO BACKWARDS. I APOLOGIZE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS WE'RE INVITING THE COMMUNITY TO COME OUT AND PLAY WITH US. AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THE VERY, VERY BEGINNING PHASES OF PLANNING FOR NORTHWEST COMMUNITY PARK AND ALSO THE HOLLYHOCK AREA, WHICH HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RENAMED AS FRISCO ON THE GREEN PARK. AND SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS WE ARE ASKING FOR THE PUBLIC TO COME OUT AND HELP SHAPE YOUR PLAY. SO PLAY AGAIN BEING THE THEME. WE'RE HOLDING AN ONLINE COMMUNITY MEETING ON MONDAY, JANUARY 11, FROM SIX TO SEVEN P.M. THERE'S A ZOOM LINK AVAILABLE AT PLAYFRISCO.ORG/FUTUREPARKS. AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT THE COMMUNITY'S VISION IS FOR THOSE TWO AREAS. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? OK, THANK YOU. OK, THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING REPORT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. IN LIEU OF OUR NORMAL MONTHLY REPORT I AND BEING THE FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR, I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT OUR PUBLIC WORKS IN ENGINEERING YEAR END REPORT FOR TWENTY TWENTY. AND THEN OUR LOOK AHEAD, OUR WORK PLAN FOR TWENTY TWENTY ONE. THESE ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR ELECTRONIC VERSION. WE ALSO HAVE THEM ON THE WEBSITE AND THEN I'VE GOT SOME PRINTED COPIES AS WELL. THE YEAR END REPORT FOR TWENTY TWENTY JUST HAS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT THAT TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN EMPLOYEES AND THE BUDGET AND ALL THE ASSETS THAT WE HAVE, THE ACTIVITIES, PROJECTS, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND THEN THE LOOK AHEAD IS JUST REALLY A LISTING OF ALL THE GOALS AND THINGS THAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS NEXT YEAR. SO HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING THAT WE BRING FORWARD TO YOU AND WE PRESENT TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WILL BE IN A LINE WITH THIS PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR. AND HOPEFULLY THAT PLAN IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE DESIRE OF THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. I LIKE TO THANK JOYCE WARREN FOR HER EFFORT IN ASSEMBLING THIS DOCUMENT AND ALL OF THE STAFF THAT CONTRIBUTED TO IT. SO I JUST WANT TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THAT. IT'S IN YOUR AGENDA AND I'M NOT GOING TO RUN THROUGH THESE BOOKS RIGHT NOW. BUT YOU HAVE THEM. SO WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? OK, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT REPORT TOGETHER. ITEM TEN IS THE LIBRARY REPORT FOR JANUARY TWENTY ONE. [01:00:09] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. YOU HAVE MY REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU. I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF SLIDES. I CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS. SO RIGHT NOW, WE'RE FINALIZING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND THE GMP. AS IT STANDS NOW, OF COURSE, THE PROJECT REMAINS ON TIME AND ON BUDGET. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH OF A TRANSFORMATION THAT SPACE WILL TAKE. AND SO SHOWING THOSE TWO PICTURES HELPS. CONNECTION IS NOW OPEN, WHICH IS THE MICRO LIBRARY IN THE MALL. TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY. IT WAS A SOFT OPENING. WE ARE UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S RESTRICTIONS FOR OCCUPANCY. SO OCCUPANCY IS BEING HELD TO 16 AT A TIME. WE HAVEN'T DONE ANY PUBLICITY WITH IT YET BECAUSE NOT ALL THE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. WE INTEND TO MOVE OUR PASSPORT APPLICATION SERVICE TO THIS LOCATION. BUT STATE DEPARTMENT HAS A COUPLE OF REQUIREMENTS WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH. BUT THE CHILDREN'S COLLECTION, THERE'S A SIZABLE CHILDREN'S COLLECTION IN THE SPACE THAT'S BROWSABLE, UNLIKE HERE WHERE THE CHILDREN'S COLLECTION FLOOR IS CLOSED. SO FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOKING TO LET THEIR KIDS PICK OUT WHAT THEY WANT, I WOULD SUGGEST THEY TRY CONNECTION AS A SECONDARY LOCATION. THERE'S FREE WI-FI, THERE'S PUBLIC COMPUTERS AND SPECIALTY COMPUTERS FOR CHILDREN. AND OF COURSE, LIBRARY EXPERTISE. WE WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ONE OF OUR WONDER WOMEN AT THE LIBRARY, AND THAT'S ADELLA ARTIAGA. SHE'S BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR 20 YEARS. AND SHE JUST RECENTLY GOT A CORE VALUE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE. SHE'S BEHIND THE REMARKABLE CURBSIDE SERVICE THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO STAND UP AND KEEP RUNNING. AND IT'S GETTING GREAT REVIEWS. AND THOUGH THE PICTURE WITH HER IN THE BLUE COLLAR IS PROBABLY HOW MOST PEOPLE SEE HER, THE PICTURE WITH HER DRESSED UP AS WONDER WOMAN IS HOW WE SEE HER AT THE LIBRARY BECAUSE SHE DOES SO MANY REMARKABLE THINGS. AND THEN WE GOT A REALLY NICE PIECE OF FAN MAIL FROM FRISCO A FAMILY AND WE WANTED TO LET YOU SEE. IT'S GOT ARTWORK FROM THE KIDS IN THE FAMILY AND A NOTE FROM THE MOM TELLING US HOW MUCH SHE APPRECIATES THE FACT THAT WE'VE MOVED OUR STORY TIME SERVICES ONLINE SO THAT THEY STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THEM. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU FOR THAT. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING PROGRESS IN THE LIBRARY. GREAT, SO DO I. THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM ELEVEN, WHICH IS THE COUNCIL'S SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE GOVERNANCE, BUDGET AND AUDIT. FRISCO SQUARE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. DALLAS REGIONAL MOBILITY COMMISSION, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, FRISCO VETERANS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL. ANY SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES? THE FISCAL VETERANS ADVISORY HOSTED A FANTASTIC MAYOR SOCIAL THIS YEAR, CHRISTMAS SOCIAL, AND HAD A GREAT TURNOUT. IT WAS HOSTED [INAUDIBLE] AND SO SHOUT OUT TO THEM FOR HELPING US HOST A WONDERFUL, SAFE AND FUN EVENT FOR OUR VETERANS. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE ABLE TO ATTEND A GREAT EVENT. THANK YOU, JOHN. ANY OTHER UPDATES? I THINK WE HAVE MANY. OK, THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. [CONSENT AGENDA] ITEMS PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL. THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION IN SEPARATE ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NO ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT, AND THEY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. COUNCIL, YOU HAVE ITEMS TWELVE THROUGH THIRTY FOR CONSIDERATION. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS TWELVE TO THIRTY. MOTION BY SHONA, SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA. [LEGISLATIVE AGENDA] THESE ITEMS MAY LEGALLY REQUIRE COUNCIL ACTION, BUT BY COUNCIL POLICY SHOULD BE THE CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. THE CONCURRENCE OF TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT AND MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. COUNCIL YOU HAVE ITEMS THIRTY ONE THROUGH THIRTY SIX FOR CONSIDERATION. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS THIRTY ONE THROUGH THIRTY SIX. MOTION BY SHONA, SECONDED BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM THIRTY SEVEN AND OUR REGULAR AGENDA, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING. [37. Public Hearing: A request to repeal Ordinance No. 18-08-39 consisting of 73.9± acres on the southeast corner of Coit Road and Eldorado Parkway (“Property”), and to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended) to update the City park layout shown on Exhibit G-3, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same.

[01:05:01] YES, WHEN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED A COUPLE OF YEARS OR THREE YEARS AGO, THE CENTER OPEN SPACE AS A PARK AREA THAT WAS WORKED ON WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THERE WAS AN EXHIBIT IN THERE SHOWING THE PROPOSED LAYOUT OF THE PARK. AND SINCE THEN THAT HAS BEEN REVISED AND THERE WAS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE DESIGN OF THE PARK THAT COUNCIL APPROVED BACK IN FEBRUARY OF TWENTY TWENTY. SO PART OF THAT AGREEMENT IS THIS WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO INITIATE THE ZONING CHANGE ON THE PROPERTY TO HAVE THE EXHIBITS LINE UP WITH ONE ANOTHER. SO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPROVED THIS SIX ZERO. SO IT'S RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL. COUNCIL. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY SHONA TO OPEN, SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED.

KRISTI, DO YOU HAVE ANY NAMES FOR US OR ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE OR DO WE NEED TO TABLE THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING? IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. THERE WAS A SPREADSHEET THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA ITEM WITH A LIST OF POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR THIS PARTICULAR POSITION. IF YOU GUYS WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO REVIEW THAT AND WE CAN TABLE IT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. NOBODY HERE HAS A STRONG SUGGESTION. I'D LIKE TO TABLE IT. JUST GIVE ME SOME MORE TIME TO LOOK THROUGH IT. MOTION BY BILL TO TABLE, SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. THAT ITEM WILL BE TABLED TO OUR NEXT MEETING. THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 44, WHICH IS RECEIVE THE REPORT FROM CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING [44. Receive report from City Attorney regarding Complaint against Jeff Cheney, John Keating, Brian Livingston, and Dan Stricklin filed by Martin Woodward on December 14, 2020.] COMPLAINT AGAINST JEFF CHENEY, JOHN KEATING, BRIAN LIVINGSTON AND DAN STRICKLIN, FILED BY MARTIN WOODARD ON DECEMBER 14TH, 2020. [01:15:03] AND JUST BY WAY OF QUICK INFORMATION, WE AS A COUNCIL CERTAINLY WELCOME CRITICISM AND WE CERTAINLY WELCOME FEEDBACK ON THE SERVICE WE'RE DOING TO THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO. WE HAVE WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE US THEIR CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. THEY CAN CALL US PERSONALLY, THEY CAN EMAIL US, THEY CAN POST TO FACEBOOK, OR WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS THAT THEY CAN FILE. AND SO WE HAVE A PROCESS WE GO TO ANY TIME SOMEONE WANTS TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. AND SO WE DID THAT THIS EVENING IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. WHILE THE ORDINANCE IS UNCLEAR WHETHER WE SHOULD STEP DOWN, I THINK THE FOUR OF US HAVE CHOSEN TO DO SO. SO WE'LL GO AND SIT DOWN AND TURN THE MEETING OVER TO MR. SOWELL. RICHARD, I BELIEVE YOU WERE AT THIS POINT GOING TO PROVIDE THIS CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT THAT IS REQUIRED AS PART OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE OR THE ETHICS POLICY. COMMENT, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT. HAVE ANYBODY TO SPEAK FOR? ONE, TWO, THREE. I'D LIKE TO HEAR RICHARD FIRST REGARDLESS. I THINK I WOULD LIKE HERE I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE ATTORNEY SPEAK. WE HAVE SIX PEOPLE THAT ARE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU. WE GOT ONE MORE RIGHT HERE. SO CAN YOU GIVE IT TO THE CITY SECRETARY RIGHT OVER HERE? KRISTI. IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC, IF YOU COULD FILL OUT A BLUE CARD AND GIVE IT TO MS. MORROW OVER HERE, THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. RICHARD THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU. I'M HERE, ALONG WITH MR. PITTMAN, TO PRESENT OUR ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPLAINT THAT WAS FILED ON DECEMBER 14TH, 2021 BY MARTIN WOODARD AGAINST JEFF CHENEY, JOHN KEATING, BRIAN LIVINGSTON AND DAN STRICKLIN. UNDER THE ETHICS ORDINANCE, WHICH IS ORDINANCES NUMBERS 09 04 25 AND 09 10 62, REQUIRES THAT UPON THE FILING OF A COMPLAINT TO THE ISD SECRETARY SHOULD BE TURNED OVER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY. THE OBLIGATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY IS TO MAKE AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT. THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT IS TO DETERMINE THAT IF YOU ASSUME ALL THE FACTS IN THE COMPLAINT ARE TRUE, WOULD IT CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE ETHICS ORDINANCE? SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT OCCURS IN THIS PROCESS. WE HAVE SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS IN WHICH TO PERFORM THAT ASSESSMENT. AS I INDICATED, WE RECEIVED IT ON DECEMBER 14TH OF TWENTY TWENTY. WE COMPLETED THE ASSESSMENT AND THE MEMORANDUM ON DECEMBER THE TWENTY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY. AND IT WAS NOT SHARED WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN IN MY OFFICE. THAT REPORT HAS SAT THERE UNTIL TONIGHT AND THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT ON THE FIRST REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING AFTER THE FILING OF THE COMPLAINT, THEN THE CITY ATTORNEY IS SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND PROVIDE A REPORT ON THE ASSESSMENT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE DONE. THE COMPLAINT ALLEGES THAT THE FAILURE OF JEFF CHENEY AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS JOHN KEATING, BRIAN LIVINGSTON AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ELECT DAN STRICKLIN ON ONE OR MORE PUBLIC GATHERINGS, FAILED TO WEAR A MASK AND MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING IN PUBLIC FOR SO LONG AS THE COVID-19 CONTINUES TO THREATEN PUBLIC HEALTH. THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. SPECIFICALLY, THE COMPLAINT ALLEGES THAT AT TWO PUBLIC EVENTS, ONE AT STONEBRIAR COUNTRY CLUB IN FRISCO ON DECEMBER 4TH, 2020, WHICH WAS ATTENDED BY MR. KEATING, MR. LIVINGSTON, MR. STRICKLIN AND ANOTHER PUBLIC EVENT AT VERONA VILLA ON DECEMBER 10TH, 2020 WAS ATTENDED BY MR. CHENEY, MR. KEATING, MR. LIVINGSTON AND MR. STRICKLIN. BOTH OF THOSE, MR. WOODARD ALLEGES THAT THE OFFICIALS PRESENT, QUOTE, PURPOSELY FAILED TO WEAR A MASK AND THEY PURPOSELY FAILED TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED SIX FOOT DISTANCE SOCIAL DISTANCE WHILE IN ATTENDANCE. SO BASED ON THAT, WE DID AN EVALUATION OF THE ORDINANCE AND APPLIED THE FACTS AS IF THEY WERE TRUE AND DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A VIOLATION. INITIALLY, WE DETERMINED IF THESE FOUR INDIVIDUALS WERE SUBJECT TO THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. WE FOUND THAT MAYOR CHENEY, JOHN KEATING AND BRIAN LIVINGSTON WERE SUBJECT TO THE ETHICS ORDINANCE BECAUSE THEY WERE WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF CITY OFFICIAL AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. WE ALSO FOUND THAT DAN STRICKLIN WAS SUBJECT TO THE ETHICS ORDINANCE BECAUSE HE WAS A, QUOTE, CANDIDATE FOR PUBLIC OFFICE AT THE TIME OF THE INSTANCE AND THAT IS ALSO A [01:20:03] POTENTIAL VIOLATION UNDER THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. SO IF YOU'RE A CANDIDATE OR YOU RUN, YOU CAN POTENTIALLY BE-- YOU ARE SUBJECT TO THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. NEXT, WE TRY TO EVALUATE WHETHER IF THE FACTS ALLEGED AS TRUE WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. I'M GOING TO CONSIDER THESE ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE THE OPINION ARE THE SAME. IT IS OUR OPINION THAT THE COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST THESE FOUR INDIVIDUALS FAILS TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO STATE A VIOLATION OF ANY ACTUAL PROVISION OF THE ETHICS CODE. [APPLAUSE] THE COMPLAINT FAILS TO STATE FACTS OR IDENTIFY A VIOLATION OF ETHICS LAW AS DEFINED BY THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. THOSE SECTIONS ARE PARTS A SECTION TWO PART E SECTION ONE ETHICS ORDINANCE, AND THEY INCLUDE PART B, SECTIONS 1 THROUGH 10 AND PART C AND D. PART B AND SECTIONS ONE THROUGH TEN AND PART C AND D OF THE ETHICS LAWS REGULATE OFFICIAL ACTION. THAT IS ACTION TAKEN BY CITY OFFICIAL AND OTHER ACTIONS BY CITY OFFICIALS. THESE REGULATIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE FACTS ALLEGED IN THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE NONE OF THE ETHICS LAWS REFERENCE OR RELATE TO VIOLATIONS OF ORDINANCES REGULATING WEARING MASKS AND MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCE. THE ETHICS LAWS ALSO INCLUDE CHAPTER 14 OF THE CITY CHARTER. THAT'S THE SECTION THAT REFERS TO GIFTS. AND SECTIONS 171 AND 176 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE. THOSE PRIMARILY RELATE TO CONFLICTS. THE CITY CHARTER AND SECTIONS 171 AND 176 OF THE LOCAL CODE ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE FACTS ALLEGED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT REFERENCE OR RELATE TO VIOLATIONS OF ORDINANCES REGULATING WEARING MASKS AND MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCE. AND IN SOME, A CITY OFFICIAL MERELY BEING PRESENT AT A PUBLIC GATHERING WITHOUT A MASK AND WITHIN SIX FEET OF OTHERS IN VIOLATION OF AN EXISTING CITY ORDINANCE WITHOUT MORE, FAILS TO STATE A VIOLATION OF AN ACTIONABLE PROVISION OF THE ETHICS CODE. ACCORDINGLY, WE FIND THAT THE ALLEGATIONS OF THE COMPLAINT AGAINST EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, EVEN IF TRUE, WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. [APPLAUSE] DO YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY BEFORE WE LISTEN IN? I DO NOT. I DO NOT. STAY HERE IN CASE YOU WANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS. OK, SO WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. SO WHILE SHE'S ORGANIZING THAT, FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO SPEAK, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS SOMEONE ELSE, IF YOU WOULD JUST EXPEDITE THAT, THEN WE COULD GET TO THE END OF THIS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE QUICKER THAN WE OTHERWISE WOULD. WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, I'LL CALL THE FIRST COUPLE OF PEOPLE. AND IF YOU WOULD GATHER DOWN FRONT AND SIT IN THE SEATS DOWN FRONT FOR THE NEXT SPEAKER SO THAT YOU'RE READY. AND THEN ALSO, IF YOU WOULD, MAKE SURE THAT YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE, WHEN YOU START TO SPEAK. ROB [INAUDIBLE] WILL BE FIRST, JOHN [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN RASHEEDA HOBBS JONES. CLEARLY, I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT PROCESS. SO GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS ROB [INAUDIBLE] THE SECOND, UNITED STATES ARMY MAJOR RETIRED, 3472 DELFORD DRIVE, FRISCO, TEXAS, 75033. [INAUDIBLE] STATED THAT FEAR, HONOR AND INTEREST ARE POLITICAL IMPULSES FELT BY ALL PEOPLE . THE ETHICS COMPLAINT THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT, AGENDA FORTY FOUR IS AN EXAMPLE OF INTEREST. AND MORE TO THE POINT, IT IS A PARTISAN POLITICAL STUNT AND NOTHING MORE. THE CITY ORDINANCE, ABBOTT'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS, TWENTY NINE AND THIRTY TWO WERE NOT VIOLATED. THOSE MAKING THESE CLAIMS WERE NOT THERE. AND AT THE VETERANS EVENT I WAS. THEY DID NOT SEE THE ONE HUNDRED PLUS BOTTLES OF INDIVIDUAL HAND SANITIZER AND INDIVIDUAL MASKS PROVIDED AS A SAFETY MEASURE. THEY DID NOT SEE OUR WONDERFUL VFW AUXILIARY VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND EVENT PROTOCOLS TO EVERY ATTENDEE UPON ARRIVAL. THEY CERTAINLY DID NOT SEE SEVERAL CATERING STAFF MEMBERS WHO ABLE TO WORK THAT NIGHT AND MAKE A LIVING. THEY CERTAINLY DID NOT SEE THE PERMANENTLY DISABLED COMBAT VETERAN ATTENDING HIS FIRST FRISCO VETERANS EVENT, A VETERAN RECENTLY IN A TOUGH SPOT WHO WAS ABLE TO NETWORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HIS FAMILY. NO, THEY DID NOT SEE THESE WONDERFUL THINGS, AND I WOULD ARGUE THEY DID NOT WANT TO SEE [01:25:03] THESE WONDERFUL THINGS. TWO DAYS BEFORE THE VETERANS EVENT ON DECEMBER 8TH, I WAS ENGAGED ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY WHAT I WILL REFER TO TONIGHT AS THE LEFT. THEY CALLED FOR US TO CANCEL THIS EVENT. AS A COMBAT LEADER, I EXPLAINED OUR PLAN FOR MITIGATION. I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD SEEK THE ADVICE OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, WHICH I DID. I TOLD THEM WE WOULD FOLLOW ALL PROTOCOLS, WHICH WE DID. BUT I SOON REALIZED THERE WAS NO INTENT FOR INTELLECTUAL HONESTY. AND SO I LEFT THE CONVERSATION. I LEARNED A LOT THAT WEEK ABOUT POLITICS. THIS GROUP FROM THE LEFT DID NOT WANT TO ENGAGE IN AN HONEST CONVERSATION. THEY WANTED US TO HOST A DRIVE THROUGH EVENT OR CANCEL IT ENTIRELY. IT IS OUT THERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU CAN FIND IT. THOMAS JEFFERSON WROTE A LETTER TO BENJAMIN RUSH IN SEPTEMBER OF EIGHTEEN HUNDRED, AND HE ANSWERED MR. RUSH'S QUESTION ON A STRUGGLE FOR POWER AMONG CHRISTIAN LEADERS AT THE TIME . JEFFERSON COMMENTED THAT THERE WAS A REASON FOR OUR EXPERIMENT AND IT INCLUDED THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION. AND I WOULD ADD FOR THIS CASE THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT TONIGHT, THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE. JEFFERSON FURTHER STATED, I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD, ETERNAL HOSTILITY AGAINST EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN. THIS ETHICS COMPLAINT IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ATTEMPT OF TYRANNY BY THOSE WHO WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF COVID. [APPLAUSE] GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S EXECUTIVE ORDER REFERENCING WHEN THE FACE COVERING DOES NOT APPLY IN POINT SIX IN ORDER TWENTY NINE, ANY PERSON OBTAINING SERVICE THAT REQUIRES TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF THE FACE COVERING FOR SECURITY SURVEILLANCE, SCREENING, OR A NEED FOR SPECIFIC ACCESS TO THE FACE, SUCH AS WHILE VISITING A BANK OR WHILE OBTAINING A PERSONAL CARE SERVICE INVOLVING THE FACE. I WOULD ARGUE THAT PICTURES TAKEN THAT NIGHT WITHOUT MASK WAS A PERSONAL SERVICE TO OUR VETERANS AND GUESTS WHERE THEIR CITY LEADERS. THERE WAS NO VIOLATION OF THE ORDER THIRTY TWO WITH RESPECT TO CAPACITY AND AS MENTIONED BEFORE, I AM AN AGGIE AND EVEN I CAN TELL YOU THAT NINETY TWO PEOPLE IN AN EVENT CAPACITY OF SIX HUNDRED THIRTY IS LESS THAN 50 PERCENT. [LAUGHTER] THAT TRANSITIONING VETERAN I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THANKS TO THE FRISCO VFW EIGHTY TO SEVENTY THREE AND MARINE CORPS LEAGUE OF COLLIN COUNTY, HIS CHILDREN HAD MORE PRESENTS UNDER THEIR TREE CHRISTMAS MORNING THAN EVER PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED. AND HE TOLD ME OVER COFFEE AFTER CHRISTMAS THAT HE WAS AMAZED TO SEE OUR CITY LEADERS THERE, AND HE WAS THANKFUL THAT HE WAS MOVING TO A COMMUNITY THAT TRULY VALUED AND SUPPORTED ITS VETERANS. ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE LEFT THAT ENGAGED ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA ALSO SPOKE TO A REPORTER FROM THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS AND THE SECOND ARTICLE. AND REGARDING OUR EVENT AND ETHICS COMPLAINT. THAT PERSON STATED THAT THEY EMPATHIZED WITH THOSE OF US CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. AND AGAIN, I RAISED THE ISSUE OF FREEDOM TO ASSEMBLE AND FURTHER STATE THERE WERE NO VIOLATIONS OF EXISTING ORDERS. SO IN THE WORDS OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., I SAY TO THESE WHO ARE ATTACKING OUR LEADERSHIP AND THE POSITIVE EFFORTS IN FRISCO TO BE TRUE TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ON PAPER, BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAID IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS IS NOT THE SAME THING THAT YOU SAID ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE. YOU ATTACK THE MAYOR AND OUR COUNCIL BECAUSE THINGS DID NOT GO YOUR WAY. LEADERSHIP IN A PANDEMIC NOT ONLY REQUIRES CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH OF OUR CITIZENS, BUT ALSO ECONOMY AND SMALL BUSINESS. THIS COMPLAINT IS A PARTISAN SHAM. AND SO I'M GLAD THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THEY HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS NO WAY IN VIOLATION OF OUR ETHICS. AND FURTHERMORE, I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT WE DISMISS IT ANYWAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. [APPLAUSE] THANKS, ROB. GIVE YOU A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW. JOHN [INAUDIBLE], 11187 [INAUDIBLE] DRIVE, FRISCO, TEXAS. I'M SPEAKING AS AN ATTENDEE OF THE VETERAN SOCIAL. LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT, THIS IS COMPLETE MY FIRST YEAR HERE. AND AS A VETERAN WHO DOES A LOT OF WORK WITH THE NAVAL ACADEMY, I'M THE NAVAL ACADEMY MISSION'S DEPUTY AREA COORDINATOR FOR NORTH TEXAS. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ARE PURSUING AN APPOINTMENT TO THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY. BUT I ALSO HELP THE OTHERS THAT ARE PURSUING THE OTHER SERVICE ACADEMIES WITH THEIR [INAUDIBLE] ASSESSMENT AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT THE BIGGEST THING FOR ME HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR A COMMUNITY THAT REALLY DID TREASURE VETERANS. AND I DID MY HOMEWORK AND NOTHING BAD TO MCKINNEY, ALLEN, PLANO AND EVERYTHING ELSE, MY JOBS IN PLANO. BUT WHEN IT CAME RIGHT DOWN TO IT, WE SAW WHAT FRISCO WAS ABOUT. WE SAW ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON. I SAW WHAT TIM NELSON HAD BEEN DOING PRIOR TO AND ALL THE OTHERS. [01:30:01] AND THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTED ME HERE. AND THIS EVENT REALLY DID CEMENT THAT. OUT OF THE FOUR COMPLAINANTS, TWO OF THEM WERE THOSE THAT I HAD GOTTEN TO KNOW AND PROBABLY VOTED FOR THE WAY THEY WANT TO POLITICALLY THIS ELECTION CYCLE. THE OTHER TWO, WE HAD SOME DISAGREEMENTS ABOUT WHICH CANDIDATES WE LIKED, BUT WE DID KEEP IT CORDIAL. AND THIS EVENT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. IF, AS MY FRIEND ROB HAD STATED, IF THE LEFT HAD DECIDED THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND SHOW SOME KIND OF COMMON GROUND ABOUT SUPPORTING THE LOCAL VETERAN COMMUNITY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IT. THEY COULD HAVE ALSO CAME IF THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO WEAR MASKS THERE. I WITNESSED ALSO WHAT ROB AULTMAN WENT THROUGH AND GAVE SOME OF MY OWN COMMENTS TO BOTH MR. WOODARD AND THE OTHER FRISCO DEMOCRAT CLUB LEADERS THAT HAD DECIDED THAT THIS EVENT COULDN'T GO ON WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION AND WITHOUT ALL OF THEIR RESTRICTIONS. THE FISCAL DEMOCRAT CLUB HAS BASICALLY DECIDED TO WAGE WAR ON THOSE OF US HERE IN FRISCO WHO WANT TO MOVE FORWARD, WHO WANT TO GET THINGS TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON THE COMMON GROUND ISSUES. AND I AM GLAD THAT I APPRECIATE THE CITY ATTORNEY DOING THEIR JOB TO LOOK THROUGH AND DOING, I GUESS, WHAT'S CALLED A SUMMARY JUDGMENT. IS THAT RIGHT? OR BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS. THIS EVENT WAS A REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY TO COME TOGETHER UNDER A COMMON SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD AGREE ON. I MEAN, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYBODY SAY I'M ANTI-VETERAN, I HATE VETERANS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, EVER SINCE THE MOVIE RAMBO CAME OUT, I MEAN, I THINK PEOPLE HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE GOTTA BE TREATING OUR VETERANS BETTER. MY UNCLE WAS A VIETNAM VET WHO CAME BACK TO NOT SUCH GOOD CONDITIONS WHEN HE WENT TO NEW YORK AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT THE BAD TREATMENT HE HAD. AND I'VE TOLD HIM I'VE SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT A IF YOU COME TO FRISCO, UNCLE VIC, YOU WILL SEE A COMMUNITY WHERE I KNOW THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN HERE. AND EVERYBODY COMES BACK, EVERYBODY GOES OFF TO WAR. EVERYBODY DOES OUR THING. THEY COME BACK. AND THIS IS A GREAT COMMUNITY WHEN IT COMES TO VETERANS SUPPORT. AND I REALLY THANK THE MAYOR, I THANK NEW COUNCILMAN DAN STRICKLIN. I THANK THE OTHER ONES, BRIAN LIVINGSTON AND JOHN KEATING FOR BEING THERE, BEING PART OF IT. AND I I KNOW YOU ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE AS WELL IF THIS WAS GOING ON. THIS ENTIRE COUNCIL HAS SHOWN THEIR COMPLETE SUPPORT FOR THE VETERAN COMMUNITY, AND I'M A PROUD MEMBER OF IT. AND FINALLY, TO THE FRISCO DEMOCRAT CLUB AND ALL THE OTHER LEFTISTS THAT ARE TRYING TO HAVE THIS DEBATE ON FACEBOOK. I JUST GOT ONE THING. THIS IS FRISCO, NOT FACE CO. YOU WANT TO HAVE A DEBATE, COME HERE, BRING IT TO US LIVE. DON'T HIDE ONLINE. WE'RE HERE. AND THE REASON WHY YOU'RE NOT. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] IS RASHEEDA HOBBS JONES? OK, MICHELLE ENGLES. AND SO ARE THEY NOT HERE, OK? AND THEN KATIE SINGLETON. SORRY I CAN'T READ THIS. DAVID [INAUDIBLE]. IS THAT CLOSE ENOUGH? AND THEN MARK [INAUDIBLE]. COULD LOWER THIS DOWN A LITTLE BIT. OK, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE AND CONGRATULATIONS, DAN AND BRIAN. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, FRISCO'S A GOOD AND GREAT COMMUNITY AND IT'S BECAUSE OF LEADERSHIP. WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW, COVID IS REAL. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN THE SHAMING AND THE RIGGING AND THE ABUSE OF COVID. I MEAN, EVEN THOUGH WOODARD IS THE FRISCO RESIDENT BULLY AND, YOU KNOW, APPLICABLY COINED PMS, [INAUDIBLE] SYNDROME--. LET'S NOT DO THE NAME CALLING, OK? IT'S NOT IT'S JUST I WASN'T NAME CALLING. ALL RIGHT. EVEN THOUGH HE IS ALL THAT ABOVE, HE DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN. AND WE ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD SO THAT ALL VIEWS CAN BE ON THE TABLE AND HAVE A FULL SCOPE. BASED ON MARTIN'S TRACK RECORD OF HARASSING BOTH OUR CITY LEADERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, HIS COMPLAINT DOES NOT COME FROM A GOOD PLACE. HE IS POLITICALIZING, PEOPLE'S HEALTH AND PERSONAL ASSESSMENT. MARTIN'S COMPLAINT ENCOURAGED OUR NEIGHBORS TO SNITCH ON ONE ANOTHER. AND IT ALSO ENCOURAGES A BULLY MENTALITY. AND IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT OUR LEADERS HAVE STEPPED OUT, STEPPED UP AND PUSHED BACK ON HIM AND KIND OF GET A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE. THE COMPLAINT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT LIKE AN EVENT. THESE ARE GROWN ADULTS WHO DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF SOMETHING, SPENT THEIR TIME AND WASTE [01:35:06] THEIR EFFORT AND ENERGY TO FILE A COMPLAINT, GO ON SOCIAL MEDIA, DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR ABILITY TO WASTE THEIR TIME INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR OWN HAPPINESS. AND IT'S JUST IT'S LIKE TAKING A HAMMER TO YOUR HEAD. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE ONLY LOGIC I CAN THINK OF BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. OUR ELECTED LEADERS DO NOT AND SHOULD NOT SPEND ONE MORE MINUTE WASTING THIS EFFORT ON THIS AT ALL. THEY NEED TO BE FOCUSING ON INFRASTRUCTURE, THE NEED OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, EDUCATION, SMALL BUSINESS, CYBERSECURITY, AND ALSO LET'S ALSO BRIDGE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND POSSIBLY DO A TAX INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE BUSINESSES TO TEACH AT OUR SCHOOLS, THINGS LIKE THAT. OTHER THAN PETTY COMPLAINTS. YOU KNOW, AND SADLY, NO, DEATH IS REAL. I'VE EXPERIENCED A REAL DEATH RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. MY BIRTH MOTHER PASSED AWAY. SHE, YOU KNOW, SHE COULDN'T HAVE KIDS OF HER OWN. SHE ADOPTED AND TOOK IN A LOT OF FOSTER KIDS AND PEOPLE, KIDS WHO DIDN'T HAVE A HOME. AND SO SHE WAS A VERY STRONG, YOU KNOW, WOMAN, LADY, MOM. SHE SURVIVED WORLD WAR TWO. SHE SURVIVED THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT ST. HELENS, AIDS, EVERY NEARLY EVERY DISEASE. BUT ONE THING THAT SHE'S TAUGHT ME IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT GO LIVE A LIFE WORTH LIVING, GO AND WASTE YOUR TIME WISELY, THAT, YOU KNOW, LIFE IS NOT GUARANTEED, TOMORROW IS NOT GUARANTEED. BUT WASTING ON IT AND BEING HATEFUL, PETTY IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE. OUR CITY COUNCILMAN, THEY DIDN'T BREAK ANY LAWS, WHICH I'M GLAD IT'S BEEN DISMISSED. IF ANYTHING, THEY GAVE PEOPLE HOPE FOR NORMALCY. THEY GAVE PEOPLE OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, POLITICALIZING, OTHER THAN FEELING AND CONSUMING THEIR TIME WITH DIVIDE, THEY GAVE US A SENSE OF REAL LIFE, A TASTE OF REAL LIFE USED TO BE WHAT IT SHOULD BE ABOUT. AND AFTER ALL THEY ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT ALL VIEWS AND AND PUSH ON THE SAME ROCK. AND THAT IS TO MAKE FRISCO A GOOD PLACE, A PLACE WHERE ALL VIEWS ARE WELCOMED. EVEN THOSE WE DON'T DISAGREE WITH, LIKE MARTIN AND THE LEFT OR RIGHT IN BETWEEN. YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL WELCOMED HERE. BUT LET'S PUSH ON THE SAME ROCK AND THAT ROCK IS MAKING A BETTER PLACE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] THE FINAL TWO SPEAKERS, I WOULD ASK, JUST AS A MEASURE OF DECORUM, AND AS A MEASURE OF THE PROCESS OF THIS, OF WHAT WE'VE JUST HELD AS A STANDARD AND FRISCO, THAT WE WOULD DISCUSS THE MERITS, THAT SHE WOULD LIMIT YOUR REMARKS TO THE MERITS OF THE COMPLAINT AS OPPOSED TO INDIVIDUAL CONCERNS ABOUT THAT INDIVIDUAL. ABSOLUTELY. MY NAME IS DAVID [INAUDIBLE]. I'M AT 8256 SHORT STREET. AND I WANTED TO FIRST ADDRESS SOMETHING I HAVEN'T HEARD ADDRESSED, WHICH IS TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RIGHTS. AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS DISCUSSION OF SAFETY IN THE COVID ERA ASSUMES THAT SAFETY TRUMPS RIGHTS AND IT SIMPLY DOESN'T. I WOULD BE SAFER, FOR EXAMPLE, IF NONE OF YOU DROVE. BUT I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORCE YOU ALL TO NOT DRIVE BECAUSE MY RIGHTS END WHERE YOUR RIGHTS BEGIN. RIGHTS ARE INHERENT TO YOU AND THEY CAN'T BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE'S A LAW OR A GOVERNOR'S ORDER OR ANYTHING ELSE, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE. THAT'S A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT AND IT'S IMPORTANT. AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE PRESERVE THOSE. SO I'VE COME FORTH IN SUPPORT OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, INCLUDING THE MAYOR. THE OTHER PART THAT I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS GETS BACK TO SOMETHING THAT KATIE TALKED ABOUT, WHICH IS THAT MASK SHAME IS SIMPLY BULLYING. AND WE'VE GONE ALONG. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN OUR SOCIETY TO FIGHT AGAINST BULLYING IN THE STAND AGAINST BULLYING. AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S A SEGMENT OF SOCIETY THAT IS USING THE HEALTH CRISIS AS A PLATFORM FOR BULLYING. BUT BULLYING IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO STOP IT. AND SO I SUPPORT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO DESIRES TO ASSOCIATE USING THEIR RIGHT OF ASSOCIATION. AND I DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE SHAMED FOR THAT. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, MARK [INAUDIBLE], 3882 WEST CRESCENT WAY, FRISCO, TEXAS. I'M NOT GOING TO BE NEAR AS ELOQUENT AS THE PRIOR SPEAKERS. BY NO MEANS THE TEXAS STATE SECRETARY, THREE PERCENT REPUBLIC OF TEXAS AND I'VE BEEN [01:40:10] SURROUNDED WITH VETS FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND A LOT OF VETS. I'VE BEEN SURROUNDED BY ACTIVE MILITARY LAW ENFORCEMENT, RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH THAT GOES DOWN THE ROAD. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, THE HUMAN BEING THAT WANTS TO STEP OUT AND WASTE OUR COUNCIL'S TIME ON SUCH A RIDICULOUS POLITICAL COMPLAINT, MY OPINION OF MASK SHAMING, WHY IS THERE MASK SHAMING, AND WHY IS THERE BULLYING? IT IS JUST GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF JUST RIDICULOUS. YOU KNOW, I WAS MY GOD GAVE ME FREE WILL TO THINK AND HAVE COMMON SENSE AS A HUMAN BEING, AND SO DID EACH AND EVERY ONE OF Y'ALL. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. IF YOUR COMMON SENSE TELLS YOU DON'T GO TO A EVENT SOMEWHERE. THEN DON'T GO TO THE EVENT. BUT KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT THOSE WHO DO, BECAUSE IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, AND QUIT WASTING THE CITY OF FRISCO'S TIME, MONEY, EFFORTS. IT'S RIDICULOUS, WE'VE GOT TOO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO. WE'RE ABOUT THE FUTURE CITY OF FRISCO. I'VE LIVED HERE 20 YEARS. I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN. YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK. KEEP KNOCKING OUT OF THE PARK AND KEEP PUSHING BACK ON PEOPLE LIKE WOODARD, WHATEVER HIS NAME IS, THAT FILED A COMPLAINT. WHERE DID HE EVEN SHOW UP? NO, BECAUSE HE'S WASTING OUR TIME. THE SOCIAL MEDIA GARBAGE HAS TO STOP. THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP. THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER. THEY HAVE WASTED OUR POLICEMAN'S TIME HERE, THE FRISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE GREATEST POLICE DEPARTMENT I'VE EVER KNOWN. I'VE GOT GREAT PERSONAL FRIENDS ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEY'RE WASTING THEIR TIME CHASING THE CABAL LEFT'S AGENDA, AND I'M SORRY, I'M NOT PART OF THAT CABAL. I'M PART OF FRISCO MOVING FORWARD AND I'M DONE WITH THIS GARBAGE AND FRISCO NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO WASTE OUR TIME. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE] IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WITH A BLUE CARD? OK, WELL. SEAN, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO MAKE AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT? SO YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS, SIR. IF I MAY, THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES THAT YOU USE TO FIND THAT THE COMPLAINT BE DISMISSED ON ONE OF FOUR GROUNDS OR YOU CAN FIND THAT THE COMPLAINT DOES STATE IF THE TRUE FACTS ARE TRUE WITHOUT DETERMINING THE FACTS, THE FACTS WERE TRUE, THAT IT WOULD VIOLATE AN ORDINANCE, THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. YOU CAN REFER TO THE INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE AND I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THAT'S ABOUT, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW. BUT THOSE ARE TWO PATHS. YOU HAVE FOUR BASES TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT, WHICH I WENT OVER WITH YOU IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION WERE THOSE. BUT JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FROM ME. YOU TWO DON'T MIND BEFORE? OK. YOU GO FIRST. THANK YOU. IN 2009, I HAD THE PLEASURE OF PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMITTEE THAT WROTE THE ETHICS POLICY FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO THAT'S AT THE CENTER OF THIS DISCUSSION TONIGHT. AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT POLICY IS TO ENSURE THE MAJOR PURPOSE OF THAT POLICY IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE AREN'T CONFLICTS THAT EXIST WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS WHEN THEY'RE VOTING ON ITEMS. I THINK WE ALL WOULD AGREE THAT THAT'S A NOBLE CAUSE. NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN THEY'RE VOTING ON SOMETHING. IN 2010, I HAD THE PLEASURE TO CHAIR THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE THAT INCORPORATED THAT POLICY INTO THE CHARTER OF THIS, AT LEAST THE GIFTS PORTION INTO THE CHARTER. SO I CONSIDER MYSELF A PRETTY GOOD EXPERT, ALMOST, OF THE ETHICS POLICY OF THE CITY OF FRISCO. WHAT THAT ETHICS POLICY WAS NOT MEANT TO DO WAS TO FACILITATE POLITICAL ATTACKS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO ETHICS IN THE CITY OF FRISCO. [APPLAUSE] [01:45:03] THESE ARE SENSITIVE TIMES, AND I DO THINK WE'VE BECOME A VERY DIVIDED COUNTRY AND I DON'T WANT US TO BECOME A DIVIDED COMMUNITY. AND CERTAINLY IF ANYONE KNOWS ME, THEY KNOW THAT I HAVE THE COURAGE OF MY CONVICTIONS. AND IF I HAD AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING, I WOULD CERTAINLY STAND UP FOR THAT. I THINK IT SAYS A LOT THAT THERE'S A CHARGE THAT WAS MADE AGAINST FOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT THE PERSON MAKING THE CHARGE DID NOT HAVE THE COURAGE OF THEIR CONVICTIONS TO SHOW UP THIS EVENING. SO THAT'S THE END OF MY COMMENTS. AND I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS MY COLLEAGUES MAY HAVE. SO AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO DISMISS UNDER THE REASONING THAT IT DOES NOT ALLEGE FACTS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE ETHICS ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FRISCO. SECOND THE MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED. THE MOTION PASSES. [APPLAUSE] WE NEED TO CONTINUE OUR COUNCIL MEETING, SO IF YOU WOULD ALLOW US TO PLEASE DO SO SO THAT WE CAN FINISH AND MOVE ON TO THE REST OF OUR DISCUSSION AFTERWARDS. WE'RE ABOUT TO WRAP UP. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LITTLE LIBERTY TO DISCUSS JUST IN GENERAL THE CITY'S COVID RESPONSE, JUST SO IT'S CLEAR THAT OUR POSITION AS A CITY THAT WE HAVE TAKEN THE POSITION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, GOING BACK TO MARCH AS FAR AS FOLLOWING A VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE MODEL, IT'S THE MODEL THAT'S WORKED WELL FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. AND THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB AS FAR AS COMPLYING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S ORDERS. THERE'S ALSO BEEN OUR POSITION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO ASK OUR RESIDENTS TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE GOVERNOR'S ORDERS. AND ME BEING AROUND THESE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS EVERY SINGLE WEEK AT HUNDREDS OF EVENTS, THEY HAVE BEEN VERY DILIGENT. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WALK BACK UPSTAIRS TO GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE'LL ALL PUT OUR MASKS ON WHEN WE'RE OUT IN PUBLIC. EVERYONE HAS BEEN VERY DILIGENT. OVER THE COURSE OF NINE MONTHS, HAVE WE ALL BEEN PERFECT? PROBABLY NOT. I'M SURE THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHERE ANYONE COULD HAVE SNAPPED A QUICK PHOTO OF US WHERE MAYBE WE WEREN'T PERFECT. BUT IN THESE TIMES, IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR EVERYBODY. WE ALL KNOW THAT. THAT ANXIETY IS HIGH AND THERE'S A LOT OF FEAR AND ANXIETY. AND SO WE HAVE WORKED VERY HARD AS A CITY TO ADDRESS THAT. ALSO, THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT BUSINESSES THAT WE WANT TO REMAIN OPEN. THERE'S THE MENTAL HEALTH ASPECTS. THERE'S REALLY MAKING SURE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THE ENTIRE CITIZEN AND NOT JUST LOOKING AT THIS PANDEMIC IN A SILO. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF DECISIONS THAT COME IN PLACE. AND IT HASN'T BEEN AN EASY TIME FOR CITY COUNCIL. I CAN TELL YOU THAT OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS WE'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH HUNDREDS OF VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS WITH REGARDS TO THE PANDEMIC WITH UNCERTAIN OUTCOMES. I'M PROUD TO HAVE SERVED ALONGSIDE OF THEM THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. YOU KNOW, I DO THINK THAT THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. IN FACT, THIS EVENING WE'VE BEEN HAVING CONVERSATIONS IN OUR FIRST EXECUTIVE SESSION ABOUT VACCINE DISTRIBUTION AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT THE VACCINE OUT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS IT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE THAT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE END IS NEAR TO START BEGINNING TO RETURN TO NORMALCY. BUT WE DO ASK THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE IN FRISCO SHOW EACH OTHER GRACE AND SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, AS WE WORK TO GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. AND I KNOW THERE'S DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY ON THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO. WE ASK FOR EVERYONE TO BE RESPECTFUL OF ANOTHER OF EACH OTHER AND AGAIN, SHOW GRACE. I DO WANT TO WE HAVE NOT DONE THIS YET. AND THIS AGENDA ITEM HAS MADE ME REMISS FOR NOT THANKING ENOUGH OUR CITY STAFF OF HOW THEY'VE HANDLED THE PANDEMIC. AND SO, YOU KNOW, OUR CHIEF PILAND AND DR. GAMBER HAVE BEEN JUST ROCKS FOR US. ALL OF OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM HAS REALLY STEPPED UP BECAUSE WE HAVE TRIED REALLY HARD TO TRY TO FIND WAYS TO CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE THINGS. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED IN JULY THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO BE A CITY COUNCIL THAT CANCELS THE FOURTH OF JULY. WE DON'T WANT TO CANCEL OUR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. WE FOUND NEW WAYS TO DO THEM AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. AND EACH ONE OF OUR CITY STAFF HAD TO PIVOT AND FIND NEW WAYS AND, YOU KNOW, CELEBRATING MERRY MAIN STREET THAT HAD TO COME TOGETHER IN TWO WEEKS. AND WE'VE BEEN VERY EASY FOR US TO JUST SAY, HEY, LET'S CANCEL MERRY MAIN STREET THIS YEAR. BUT THAT'S NOT THE ATTITUDE THAT WE'VE TAKEN AS A CITY. AND SO WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD TO FIND A BALANCE IN THIS COMMUNITY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS COUNCIL IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS TO KEEP THE RESIDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY SAFE. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WITH CERTAINTY THAT WE WOULD NEVER APPROVE ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING THAT DR. GAMBER THAT CHIEF PILAND, THAT OUR ENTIRE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM HAS NOT SIGNED OFF ON, THAT WE DON'T HAVE A PLAN FOR. [01:50:01] THIS COUNCIL HAS WORKED VERY HARD ON THAT. WE'VE ALSO WORKED VERY HARD TO KEEP OUR BUSINESSES IN FRISCO OPEN AND THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF WORKING WITH THE FRISCO CHAMBER AND OUR EDC TEAM. I MEAN, REALLY PUTTING BOOTS ON THE GROUND, PUTTING BOOTS ON THE GROUND, GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO BUSINESSES, GIVING THEM TOOLS FOR HOW THEY CAN STAY OPEN AND REMAIN COMPLIANCE. WE'VE GOTTEN DONATIONS FOR THERMOMETERS AND HAND SANITIZING STATIONS AND PARTITIONS BETWEEN RESTAURANT TABLES AND EVERYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM STAY SUCCESSFUL. WE'VE CHANGED OUR ORDINANCES SO RESTAURANTS CAN HAVE PATIOS OUTSIDE, AND WE'VE WORKED WITH OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM TO MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO GET CHANGES, YOU KNOW, SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN. THAT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. SO, YOU KNOW, CAN I SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN PERFECT? NO, I WON'T SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN PERFECT. BUT I KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING REALLY HARD AS A CITY AND A LEADERSHIP TEAM TO SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY THE BEST WAY WE CAN. WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO CRITICISM. WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO FEEDBACK ON HOW WE CAN DO THINGS BETTER. ALL OF US ARE EASILY APPROACHABLE VIA OUR PHONE NUMBER, BEING OUT IN PUBLIC VIA EMAILS, YOU WILL GET RESPONSES AND WE'RE GLAD TO ACCEPT CRITICISM BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, NONE OF US HAVE DEALT WITH A PANDEMIC BEFORE, BUT WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO DO THE BEST WE CAN. SO, AGAIN, HOPEFULLY THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS NEAR AND LET'S JUST WORK REALLY HARD TO SHOW EACH OTHER GRACE. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF SUPPORT TONIGHT. THAT WAS REALLY GREAT AND HEARTFELT. THANK YOU. UM, AND WITH THAT, LET'S SEE THAT MOVE US TO ITEM 45, WHICH IS CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION WITH CITY STAFF CONCERNING ANY ACTIONS REQUIRED BY--.
