Mar 02, 2021 City Council

>> NOW ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU HAVE?

>> YOU GUYS DID A FANTASTIC JOB.

I JUST PLAYED A TINY LITTLE ROLE.

BUT YOU GUYS WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS FROM 07:00 PM TO 07:00 AM, AND THE PHONES WERE PRETTY ACTIVE.

WE HAD A LOT OF PIPES BURSTING AND PEOPLE COULDN'T SHUT THE WATER OFF AND CEILINGS WERE COMING DOWN, AND A LOT OF VERY UPSET FOLKS, AND IT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE TO TAKE THOSE CALLS, SWITCHING OVER TO DISPATCH.

THEN HEAR THE CALL GO OUT OVER THE RADIO.

MY HATS OFF TO ALL OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, AND THE WORK THAT THEY DID DURING THIS TIME.

I WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL THAT I THINK EVERYBODY UP HERE WOULD SAY THAT, WE JUST DID A FANTASTIC JOB, AND THAT THE RESPONSE TIMES, EVEN WHEN AN ICE AND SNOW AND LATE AT NIGHT AND AFTER CALL, AFTER CALL, AFTER CALL.

IF YOU CALLED WEEKEND, AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE AND TO HAVE LIBRARY STAFF, THEY'RE VOLUNTEERING, SMILING, READY TO ROLL, ANSWERING THE PHONES AND HELPING THOSE FOLKS OUT.

IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE, AND I JUST HAPPEN TO STOP BY AND TOOK A COUPLE OF CALLS SO THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU GUYS DID AND ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING.

>> ALL THE OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS AS WELL? IT WAS BIG EFFORT WE JUST DID THE COORDINATING AND THE STAFFING SCHEDULE.

BUT IT REALLY WAS AN ALARMING OUT-POUR OF SUPPORT.

ALL THOSE STAFF THAT DID DO IT WERE VOLUNTEERS.

A LOT OF THEM COULDN'T EVEN VOLUNTEER, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IN, AND SO WE REALLY HARVESTED THE STAFF THAT WAS WILLING, AND ABLE TO COME IN AND WORK ALONG OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS AND THE LIBRARY.

IT REALLY WAS AN HONOR AND TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. IT WAS AWESOME.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAD A WINTER STORM THAT WAS BAD BUT WE'RE FRISCO AND WE'RE AWESOME.

>> WELL SAID, THANK YOU.

NOW MAY WE STATE ITEM 7 WHICH IS OUR PARKS AND LAKE REPORT.

[7. Parks and Recreation report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.]

[00:15:10]

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I WOULD AGREE WE'RE FRISCO AND WE'RE AWESOME, AND I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE TO EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY DID.

AS ALWAYS, WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED YOU SHOULD, BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE.

AS YOU HEARD EARLIER AND JUST TO CHECK BACK IN WITH THE COMMUNITY, WE DO CONTINUE TO WORK ON OUR PROGRAMMING FOR NORTHWEST COMMUNITY PARK AND FRISCO ON THE GREEN PARK, SO THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME.

WE'RE STILL IN THE BEGINNING PHASES IN TRYING TO REFINE SOME OF THE DESIGNS.

THERE ARE STILL SOME STAKEHOLDER GROUPS THAT WE NEED TO REACH OUT TO, TO CONNECT WITH, BUT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THOSE PROJECTS.

ALSO EXCITED THAT THE DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE IS ON, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LOOK THIS YEAR.

THE STARS AT NIGHT IS OUR THEME, WE'VE PARTNERED WITH TOYOTA STADIUM AND THERE WILL BE STARS AT NIGHT.

[LAUGHTER] TICKETS DO GO ON SALE TOMORROW MORNING AT 8 A.M, SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THIS ONE ALWAYS SELLS OUT.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER EVENTS COMING UP, I JUST WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE OF OUR AQUA EGG HUNT, IS ALSO ON FOR THIS YEAR ON SATURDAY, MARCH 11TH.

SO IF YOU PREFER THE WATER TO FIND YOUR EGGS, THAT'S THE PLACE TO GO, AND OUR NATURE EGGSPLORERS.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE OF A POP-UP STYLE.

WE'RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO JOIN US AND FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHERE WE WILL THEN ANNOUNCE THAT EGGS HAVE ARRIVED, THE EASTER BUNNY HAS BROUGHT THEM TO VARIOUS PARKS, AND THEN ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO GO OUT AND COLLECT ON THEIR OWN.

WE'VE BEEN VERY FOCUSED, OF COURSE, ON WATER CONSERVATION.

WILSON IS EXTREMELY TALENTED, HE'S ONE OF OUR WATER EDUCATORS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, AND HE HAS DUBBED HIMSELF WATER MAN WILSON, AND HAS STARTED A NEW SERIES OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS THAT INCLUDE A LOT OF WATERWISE TIPS.

AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IF YOU WOULD, WILSON IS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB, MAKING SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONSERVE WATER.

WITH THAT, IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE ME ONE SECOND, PLEASE. OKAY, THANK YOU.

I WANTED TO JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF THIS.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GIS TEAM, AS YOU ALL KNOW.

[LAUGHTER] ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, THAT'S BEEN A DREAM WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT IS, THIS IS FOR SPECIFICALLY THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS.

BUT REALLY WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR IS, WE'RE HOPING THAT WE WILL ALSO GET TO THE EXTENT WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THIS FOR ALL OF OUR PARKS.

THIS IS OUR FRISCO TRAILS STORY MAP, THIS HAS NOT GONE PUBLIC FACING YET, WE JUST WANTED TO SHOWCASE IT HERE SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

THERE IS A REGION THAT SHOWS WHERE YOU CAN PARK, WHERE THERE ARE RESTROOMS, TRAIL ENTRIES, TRAIL START AND END POINTS.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE FUTURE TRAIL PLANNING THAT WE'VE SHARED WITH YOU BEFORE.

THESE ARE TRAILS THAT ARE IN EXISTENCE, BECAUSE WE GET A LOT OF REQUESTS FROM PEOPLE TO KNOW, WHERE CAN I GET ON SOMETHING, HOW DO I GET OFF OF SOMETHING, WHERE DO I PARK? IF WE WERE TO LOOK, FOR EXAMPLE, AT BEAVERS BEND, YOU'LL SEE DOWN HERE ON THE BOTTOM, THERE'S AN OVERVIEW MAP THAT CAN BE LEFT UP OR CLOSED.

THAT'S A DIFFERENT WAY THAT YOU CAN ALSO NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO IT THAT WAY.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE AS YOU CLICK ON EACH OF THE PARKS IS THAT, THERE ARE PHOTOS OF THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT SEE WHEN YOU GET OUT THERE.

THEN EACH PARK, IT SHOWS HOW LONG IT IS, IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE IT IS.

AGAIN, DIFFERENT POINTS WHERE YOU COULD GET ON OR OFF, IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO TRAVEL THAT FAR.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A BEGINNING PHASE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE CAPITAL PLANNING TEAM AND THE GIS TEAM HAVE WORKED VERY, VERY HARD TO PULL THIS TOGETHER.

WHAT I WILL BE DOING IS ACTUALLY SENDING OUT, SINCE IT'S NOT PUBLIC FACING YET, WE'VE GIVEN YOU ALL ACCESS TO THIS.

I WILL SEND THIS LINK OUT THROUGH HOLLY TO YOU ALL, SO THAT YOU CAN CLICK ON IT, PLAY WITH IT, TELL US WHAT YOU LIKE, WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE, HOW CAN WE REFINE IT, AND THEN WE CAN MOVE FROM THERE.

SINCE I HAVE THIS UP AND IT'S WORKING, IF IT'LL SWITCH OVER VERY QUICKLY.

ANOTHER THING THAT WE ALSO HAVE, THAT IF THE LINK HASN'T GONE OUT TO YOU YET, I WILL BE SENDING, IS THAT WE ALSO HAVE A FIRST GO PUBLIC ART STORY MAP, THAT SHOWCASES WHERE ALL OF OUR PUBLIC ART IS.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE 63 PIECES IN THE COLLECTION.

>> I LIKE THAT.

>> I LIKE BOTH OF THOSE, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> I'VE NOTICED, MAINLY BECAUSE THEY'VE SHOWN UP AROUND MY AREA, IS THAT A COUPLE OF THE WAY-FINDING SIGNS HAVE GONE UP,

[00:20:01]

WHICH IS THE TRAILS TO CONNECT THE TRAILS ON THE STREETS.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND WE LOOK TO SEE MORE OF THOSE.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT MORE TO COME, BUT AS WE START TO SEE THAT IN BUILDING ART, WE'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE WAY-FINDING COMING UP AS WELL.

>> I WOULD ECHO THOSE SAME COMMENTS.

PAUL AND I STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS PROBABLY CLOSE TO A YEAR AGO, AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT START.

I KNOW YOU ALL ARE WORKING ON EXPANSION OF A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS, SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THOSE EXPANSIONS ADDED, AND I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

>> QUESTIONS? NO. THANKS, JOAN.

>> THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 8,

[8. Human Resources Quarterly Report for October 2020 - December 2020.]

[BACKGROUND] WHICH IS THE HUMAN RESOURCES QUARTERLY REPORT FOR OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2020.

[NOISE].

>> SORRY.

>> MINE IS NOT QUITE AS VISUALLY AWESOME AS THAT WAS, THAT WAS REALLY PRETTY NEAT.

I AM PRESENTING YOU THE QUARTERLY REPORT FOR OCTOBER-DECEMBER OF 2020.

OUR YEAR ENDED IN TURNOVER AT JUST A LITTLE OVER 10 PERCENT, WHICH IS OUR GOAL, AT 10.25 PERCENT, AND I'VE GIVEN YOU DIFFERENT REASONS THERE.

INSURANCE, WE HAVE FINISHED OUT OUR CALENDAR YEAR 2020, AND WE ENDED UNDER BUDGET BY ALMOST 10 PERCENT, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT WE DID HAVE THREE CLAIMS THAT HIT OUR STOP-LOSS INSURANCE FOR THE YEAR.

IN OUR WORKERS COMPENSATION, AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR CLAIMS EXPERIENCED WENT UP QUITE A BIT, THAT IS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY COVID, AS I INCLUDED SOME BEAUTIFUL CHARTS OUTLINING AND ILLUSTRATING THAT TO YOU.

I DO HAVE SOME INFORMATION THERE ABOUT THE COVID IMPACT ON THE CITY, AND PREDOMINANTLY ON WORKERS COMP, AND EVEN A LITTLE BIT ON OUR INSURANCE.

AS THE CHARTS ILLUSTRATE, AND AS THE INFORMATION SHOWS THAT WE HAD A SLIGHT DECREASE IN OUR NON-COVID CLAIMS, MORE THAN SUBSTANTIALLY MADE UP FOR THAT.

IN THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD, TIME OVER TIME FOUR MONTHS, OCTOBER 19-JANUARY 20 AND OCTOBER 20-JANUARY 21, OUR CLAIMS INCREASED BY 195 PERCENT.

FOR EVERY ONE DOLLAR DECREASE OF NON-COVID CLAIMS, WE HAD A $28 INCREASE AND CORRESPONDING INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS WHICH ENDED UP BEING ABOUT A $538,000 INCREASE IN WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS, DIRECTLY RELATED TO OUR COVID EXPENSES.

SOMETHING ELSE TO POINT OUT IS THAT, AS PART OF THE TML RISK POOL, TML TOOK THE POSITION EARLY ON THAT COVID EXPOSURES FOR FIRST RESPONDERS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER CHAPTER 607 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, COVERING PRESUMED PRESUMPTION FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.

THIS THOUGH, IS NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE FOR A LOT OF OUR OTHER ENTITIES INCLUDING COUNTIES, THE STATE, AND OTHER CITIES, THAT MAY HAVE COVERED THE EXPENSES 100 PERCENT UNDER THEIR MEDICAL INSURANCE.

AS COVERING THAT UNDER THE CHAPTER 607 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY COVID RELATED DEATHS FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, BUT THE POOL HAS HAD 11.

AS A RESULT OF THAT, THEN THOSE FIRST RESPONDERS BENEFICIARIES RECEIVE LIFE-LONG BENEFITS UNDER THE PRESUMED PRESUMPTION LAW.

THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT STANDING, THAT THE TML POOL TOOK, THAT REALLY ADDED THAT PROTECTION TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND TO THEIR DEPENDENTS.

ADDITIONALLY, WE DID HAVE ONE COVID CLAIM THAT HIT OUR STOP-LOSS ON OUR MEDICAL INSURANCE SIDE, SO WE DID SEE THAT IMPACT THERE.

OUR LEAN EFFORTS, WE'VE WORKED OVER THE LAST YEAR WITH CONSULTANTS AND WITH CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, FINANCE DEPARTMENT, AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, TO WORK ON AN INVESTMENT POLICY FOR OUR 457 INVESTMENT PLAN.

STREAMLINE THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS TO OUR EMPLOYEES, MAKING SURE THAT WHAT THEY HAD WAS A NICE OPTION OF VARIETIES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS, OR HIGH-PERFORMING INVESTMENT.

DEVELOPED A COMMITTEE THAT, LIKE I SAID, HAD REPRESENTATIVES FROM HR, FINANCE, CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, AND EMPLOYEES ON IT, THAT WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE 457 PLAN, IT'S OPTIONS, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS TO OUR EMPLOYEES.

SO THAT WE KNOW THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THEM THE BEST FOR THEIR ADDITIONAL RETIREMENT INVESTMENTS.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE?

[00:25:04]

>> THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT.

>> JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION, OF COURSE WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] PARDON ME.

ON THE LAST PART, PROVIDING SOME INVESTMENT, ARE WE PROVIDING INVESTMENT ADVICE, ARE WE BRINGING IN A THIRD PARTY PERSON IN, JUST FROM A LIABILITY PERSPECTIVE?

>> NO. THE CITY DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY INVESTMENT ADVICE, AND OUR CONSULTANTS, ONLY PROVIDE US ADVICE IN LOOKING AT THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND WHAT FUNDS WE SHOULDN'T MAKE AS PART OF THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO OUR EMPLOYEES FOR INVESTMENT OPTIONS.

THE RECORD KEEPER FOR OUR PLAN IS ICMA-RC RETIREMENT CORPORATION.

THEY DO HAVE ADVISERS AND THEY DO HAVE FINANCIAL PLANNERS, IF AN EMPLOYEE SHOULD CHOOSE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPTIONS THAT ICMA-RC PROVIDES TO OUR EMPLOYEES.

>> THEN IT'S PURELY A MUTUAL FUND BASED SELECTION PROCESS?

>> THERE ARE CASH INVESTMENT OPTIONS, BUT YES SIR.

>> RIGHT. THERE'S NOT A STOCK OPTION, I COULDN'T SHORT GAME. [OVERLAPPING]

>> NO, WE DON'T. [LAUGHTER] I WILL STILL STOCK IT. [LAUGHTER].

>> ALL RIGHT.

>>YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

>> THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM NINE,

[9. Fire Department monthly report on incident responses and educational activities for the month of January 2021.]

WHICH IS OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCILS, A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS.

THAT'S OUR NEW MEDIC UNIT THAT WE RECEIVED RECENTLY, JUST TO ADD SOME NEW PLATFORM FOR US, NEW CHASSIS.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, IT'S A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE.

SO IF WE HAVE ANY MORE WINTER STORMS AS OF LATE, WHICH IS, I WOULD ASSUME ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN, I GUESS SINCE ALL OF THE WEATHER PATTERNS WE'VE SEEN LATELY, THEY'LL BE READY TO GO.

SO WE'RE TESTING THAT OUT.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THAT AROUND IN ALL THE FIRE STATIONS AND LET THE FIREFIGHTERS SAY USE IT AND GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK.

IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN OUR TRADITIONAL MODEL, BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND WE'LL SEE WHAT FEEDBACK THAT WE GET ON IT.

ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, JUST FOR ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS, ALYSSA SANDERS, SHE'S A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, WE GOT HER OVER FROM THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO.

ALYSSA JUST RECENTLY CERTIFIED IN FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEER.

THERE'S ONLY 450 A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS THAT HAVE THE FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

ALYSSA IS JUST PAST THAT.

IT'S ABOUT A 55 % PASS RATE SO IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT CERTIFICATION TO ACHIEVE.

WE ARE FORTUNATE NOW THAT WE HAVE TWO.

ALYSSA IS CERTIFIED AND [INAUDIBLE] FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERS BOTH WORK IN OUR FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU.

JUST REALLY PROUD OF ALYSSA AND HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NOW WE'RE JUST REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE BOTH OF THOSE WHO HAVE THAT KIND OF TALENT ON OUR STAFF.

SURE A LOT ABOUT THE VACCINE CLINIC, WE WILL OPEN ONE DAY THIS WEEK, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THREE DAYS NEXT WEEK WHEN WE PLAN TO OPEN.

IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH OUR FIRST WEEK, A FEW ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO WITH ABOUT NINE THOUSAND VACCINATIONS.

WE GAVE THOSE SECOND SHOTS TO ALL THOSE FOLKS WHO GOT THEIR FIRST DOSE.

THEY'VE ALL BEEN VACCINATED A SECOND TIME.

SO THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SOME MORE OPEN DATES THERE SO WE CAN VACCINATE THE COMMUNITY.

APPRECIATE THE HELP OF MANY CITY DEPARTMENTS.

YOU'VE HEARD SOME AT THE LIBRARY TONIGHT.

THERE'S MANY OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE WORKED A VACCINE SIDE.

IT HAS PUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK IN THEIR REGISTRATION SOFTWARE OCCURRED.

BETH AND SUSAN, JUST ALL THEIR WHOLE TEAM HAS SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS IN THIS SITE.

JUST LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF [INAUDIBLE] KRAMER, WHO'S REALLY THE TEAM LEAD OUT THERE AT OUR VACCINE SIDE AMONGST MANY OTHERS SO JUST CAN'T THANK ENOUGH EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT THAT THEY'VE GIVEN THAT.

IT IS A GREAT SITE AND IT'S GOT A GREAT THROUGHPUT AND WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF THAT.

YOU'VE HEARD ALSO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WINTER STORM TO ST. PAUL AND PUBLIC WORKS ARE CERTAINLY A LOT OF WATER CUTOFFS.

AGAIN, OUR EOC ACTIVATED WITH ALL THE CITY DEPARTMENTS AND EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS FOR FOUR, FIVE DAYS.

JUST WANT TO THANK THEM TOO AND ALSO THE PEOPLE BEHIND THOSE EUC DESKS, WITH ALL THOSE EUC DESKS OUT THERE, THEY REPRESENT THE DIFFERENT EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS.

BEHIND THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE OUT THERE DOING THE WORK DURING THE WINTER STORM AND IN SOME REALLY DIFFICULT TEMPERATURES.

TEMPERATURES THAT HAVE RANDOM NOT BEEN SEEN HERE IN 70 TO 80 YEARS AND SAVE TEXAS.

ALONG WITH THAT WINTER STORM WAS OUR APARTMENT FIRE.

MULTILATERAL APARTMENT FIRE.

SO YOU TAKE EACH ONE OF THESE EVENTS IN AND OF ITSELF AS A CHALLENGE FOR ALL OF US.

YOU PUT BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER AND IT REALLY PRESSES TO OUR LIMITS SO I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT, PARTICULAR OUR FIREFIGHTERS WHO WERE WORKING 48-HOUR SHIFTS

[00:30:02]

SOMETIMES EVEN MORE AND OFTEN TIME WITH LITTLE OR NO SLEEP, RUNNING JUST CALL AFTER CALL, AFTER CALL.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE RAN 1542 CALLS AND FOUR DAYS.

THAT'S ABOUT WHAT WE RUN IN ONE MONTH'S TIME NORMALLY.

AND WE RAN THAT IN FOUR DAYS.

SO EXTREMELY BUSY.

JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THEIR DEDICATION AND PROFESSIONALISM TO THE CITY AND TO THE PROFESSION OF FIREFIGHTING.

WE GOT A LOT OF HELP FROM SOME OTHER CITIES TOO.

TOO MANY TO NAME HERE TONIGHT, BUT ALL AROUND US, LITTLE ELM, PROSPER, MCKINNEY, PLANO, CARROLLTON JUST CAME IN AND WHEN WE REALLY NEEDED THEIR HELP TO BACK-FILL OUR STATIONS AND TO HELP US AT THE FIRE AND IF I LEFT SOMEONE ELSE I APOLOGIZE BUT WE REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR HELP AND COULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT WITHOUT THEIR HELP AND WE'RE THERE FOR THEM AND WE'RE GLAD THAT THEY ARE ALSO THERE FOR US WHEN WE CERTAINLY NEEDED THEM.

SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE REPORT.

>>CHIEF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

>> THANKS TO WHOEVER WAS TAKING ALL THE PICTURES AND SHARING THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

I THINK THAT REALLY HELPED KIND OF SEND THE MESSAGE TO OUR CITIZENS.

THIS IS WHAT THESE GUYS ARE DOING FOR YOU 24/7.

IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE THAT WE'RE SOAKING WET AND THE WATER ON THEM WAS FROZEN.

THEY'RE VERY PROUD OF THEIR MUSTACHES.

MUSTACHES WERE FROZEN AND YES, 48-HOUR SHIFTS AND THE PHONES CONSTANTLY RINGING, THE ALARMS CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AND THAT THOSE GUYS DID NOT STOP IS INCREDIBLE.

SO JUST THANK THE LEADERSHIP AND TO THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. THANK YOU.

>> YEAH, THANKS FOR THAT. KNOW, IT WAS, - IT WAS A HUGE EFFORT.

LARGEST FIRE THIS CITY HAS EVER SEEN OR HAD IN OUR HISTORY.

FROM WHAT FOLKS HAVE BEEN AROUND HERE A LONG TIME.

IT WAS A VERY CHALLENGING FIRE BUT AS ALWAYS THEY STEPPED UP AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB AND I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DID.

>> I WOULD SAY AS WELL FROM SOMEONE WHO EXPERIENCED SOME OF THE PARAMEDICS AT THE END OF THEIR SHIFT, IN A PERSONAL SITUATION WITH MY OWN MOTHER, THAT THEY WERE JUST AS ATTENTIVE AND JUST AS POLITE AND JUST AS RESPECTFUL AND KIND.

AT THE LAST TWO HOURS OF THEIR SHIFT, THEY'D BEEN ON FOR 48 HOURS, EVEN BEGIN READY TO GO HOME AS THEY WERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR SHIFTS.

SO KUDOS TO THAT.

THAT AT THE END OF A LONG 48 HOURS THEY WERE STILL JUST AS PROFESSIONAL AS THEY WERE AT THE BEGINNING.

SO KUDOS TO THEM FOR THAT.

>> YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE IT.

>> BUT CHIEF LATER TIME ON JUNE [INAUDIBLE] , WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION ON A TILLER, MAYBE EXPLAIN TO THE RESIDENTS WHAT THEY'RE GETTING WITH A TILLER.

>> YEAH, SO THAT'S A, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

IT'S A PIERCE, 107-FOOT TILLER LADDER.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY A TRACTOR-TRAILER-DRAWN APPARATUS.

THE ADVANTAGE OF THAT IS IT HAS PROBABLY THE BEST MANEUVERABILITY OF ANY FIRE TRUCK THAT'S BUILT.

IT CAN GET IN REALLY TIGHT SPACES.

THE SETUP TIME IS VERY MINIMAL AS IT ONLY HAS TWO STABILIZE OR JACKS THAT COME OUT OF THE SIDE.

IT CAN DO A VARIETY OF THINGS BUT THE MANEUVERABILITY IS THE BIGGEST THING WITH IT AND AS WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THE CHALLENGES IN IT WHERE THERE WAS TIED OR STREETS OR PARKING OR JUST YOU KNOW THE CONGESTION THAT WE ENCOUNTER OFTENTIMES IN DIFFERENT AREAS.

THE TILLER CAN REALLY GET IN AND SOME REALLY TIGHT SPACES AND THAT'S THE BIG ADVANTAGE OF IT SO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ITS PROVE THIS EVENING AND REAL EXCITED ABOUT IT.

IT'S CERTAINLY WILL ADD ANOTHER DIMENSION TO OUR EQUIPMENT HERE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

>> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

I KNOW WE HAD SOME HOUSE FIRES AT NIGHT FROM LIGHTNING BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE SHARING MORE AND MORE PHOTOS OF HOUSE FIRES.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT'S COMMON, IS CAUSING THEM, OR IS IT JUST BEING SHARED MORE ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

>> YOU KNOW, WE GET THAT QUESTION A LOT.

IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE CONCENTRATED A LOT ON KIND OF THE NORTH/NORTHWEST PART OF THE CITY AND THE OTHER NIGHT ACTUALLY [OVERLAPPING].

>>I LIVE IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE CITY MAY BE WHY I'M SEEING IT SO MUCH.

>> YEAH, I DO TOO AND SO ENSUING THAT NIGHT, I MEAN, YOU'RE ON THE HEELS OF THE WINTER STORM AND APARTMENT FIRE RIGHT AFTER THAT, WE ACTUALLY HAVE FIVE WORKING FIRES AT EVENING.

WE HAD TWO IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, WE SIT WITH PROSPER WITH TWO AND LITTLE ELM WITH ONE BUT OTHER THAN ONE, I THINK IN A MOMENT ALL SEEM KIND OF CONCENTRATED IN THAT PROSPER KIND OF FRISCO NORTHWEST AREA.

THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED HERE FOR A WHILE TELL ME IT'S JUST A LOT OF IT AND I DON'T KNOW THIS TO BE, I SHOULDN'T SAY NOW THAT FACT BUT IT'S THAT HIGH RIDGE, PRESTON RIDGE AREA.

THAT'S KIND OF THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE CITY AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN AROUND HERE WHILE I ASK THEM ABOUT, FROM THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND THAT'S WHAT I GET.

MOST OFTEN SOME OF THE FIRES WERE RIGHT HERE, 25 OR 30 YEARS, SO YES IT'S THIS KIND OF A HIGH POINT THERE.

[00:35:03]

THAT HAS SEEMED TO HOLD TRUE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, A LOT OF IT.

WE DON'T GET A LOT OF IT ON THE EAST SIDE.

WE DO OCCASIONALLY GET SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CITY BUT IT DOES SEEM THAT MOST OF THEM ARE CONCENTRATED IN THAT AREA.

>> SOMETHING WE FINALLY WENT ON THE EASTSIDE.

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO LOOK UP [LAUGHTER].

>> WE STILL GET ON THOUGH.

WE'VE HAD A FEW OVER THERE SO I WON'T GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THERE.

IT CERTAINLY DOES AND HAS AND IT CAN.

>> THANK YOU, CHIEF.

>> THAT MOVES US TO ITEM 10, WHICH IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT AND MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE.

[10. Development Services annual report and monthly activity report for the month of January 2021.]

>> MARISSA COUNCIL ON UNRECOGNIZED CRYSTAL ENTER, AND WHO IS THE SENIOR PLANNER THAT OVERSEES THE PUBLICATION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT AS WELL AS THE MONTHLY REPORTS AND HOW THE ANNUAL REPORT SINGLE-FAMILY PERMITS OR APP COMMERCIAL FINISH ALTS FOR DOWN, WHICH I CONTRIBUTED THAT TO THE PANDEMIC AND LAW PEOPLE MAKE AND ADDING POOLS TO THEIR HOME.

IT SHOWS UP FIRST GOES DURING BURWELL FROM THE DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT.

WE HAVE OUR EPR, ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW.

PHASE THREE, WHICH IS THE LARGEST OF FOUR SECTIONS, WENT INTO EFFECT LAST MONTH.

VERY SUCCESSFUL IN A NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE BODY THAT'S INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FROM FAR DEPARTMENT ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC PARKS.

NIT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PUTTING THAT TOGETHER, SO IS GOING OFF VERY WELL.

I AM SURE OTHER BIT, A LITTLE HICCUPS EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT IT HAS BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION.

I HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

I SEE IT'S 7.30.

WE WILL GO AHEAD AND JUMP TO CITIZEN INPUT.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? THAT WILL MOVE TO ITEM 11,

[11. Police Department's crime statistics and response times for the month of January 2021.]

WHICH IS OUR LEAST DEPARTMENTS CRIMES TO STATISTICS AND RESPONSE TIMES FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I WILL START WITH WE CELEBRATED LAST WEEK OR SWEARING IN CEREMONY, RIGHT HEARING COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

WE SWORE IN TWO BRAND NEW OFFICERS, EXPERIENCED OFFICERS FROM OTHER NORTH TEXAS AGENCIES.

WE ALSO CELEBRATED THE PROMOTION OF THREE NEW CORPORALS AND NEW SERGEANT AND A NEW STRATEGIC SERVICES MANAGER WHO IS GOING TO HELP US WITH OUR BUDGET PROCESS.

ALL THOSE THINGS CERTAINLY HIGHLIGHTED THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND THAT IS WHAT WE PROMOTE OUR DEPARTMENT AS IS IT A DEPARTMENT OF OPPORTUNITY.

WE WERE EXCITED TO DO THAT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND APPRECIATE THOSE OF YOU THAT JOINED US FOR THAT.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK FOR SOME HELP FROM THE PUBLIC RELATED TO STOLEN FIREARMS. IN LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS FROM 2020, ONE OF THE THINGS WE SAW WAS WE SLIGHT UPTAKE IN THE NUMBER OF FIREARMS THAT WE HAD STOLEN.

77 PERCENT OF THOSE GUNS THAT WERE STOLEN WERE STOLEN FROM VEHICLES.

OVER 80 PERCENT OF THOSE VEHICLES THEY WERE STOLEN FROM WERE UNLOCKED.

THAT IS WHAT I WOULD ASK THE HELP FROM THE COMMUNITY IS TO SECURE YOUR FIREARMS. MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THEM IN YOUR VEHICLE, MAKE SURE THE VEHICLES LOCKED, BECAUSE LOCKING YOUR VEHICLE IS A TREMENDOUS DETERRENT TO CRIME.

JUST ASKING FOR SOME HELP RELATED TO THAT.

REAL QUICK, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE WINTER STORM EVENT THAT WE HAD LAST WEEK.

VERY THANKFUL TO MAYOR, YOU AND JOHN, WHO TOOK THE TIME TO COME IN AND RECOGNIZE OUR DISPATCH TEAM, WHO ANSWERED OVER 8,500 CALLS FOR SERVICE DURING THAT EVENT.

I THINK PAUL SPOKE TO THE WATER CUT-OFFS, THAT WAS A BIG PORTION OF IT.

FD BECAUSE WE DISPATCH FOR FB AS WELL.

THEY HAD THIS STRUCTURE FIRES GOING VERY, VERY BUSY TIME FOR OUR DISPATCH CREW IN THERE.

THEY ARE OFTEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT, I THINK BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE ON THE FRONT LINES, BUT THEY CERTAINLY ARE FIRST RESPONDERS AND DID A TREMENDOUS JOB DURING THAT EVENT, AND WE CERTAINLY COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM.

IT MEANT A LOT TO THEM TO SEE YOU MAYOR COME IN THERE AND LET THEIR SPIRITS, AND THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT.

WE ARE JUST EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT THEY DID.

ON THAT YOU HAVE THE MONTHLY REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

ONE THING THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THERE, WE DID A INSPECTION OF PET LAND LAST WEEK.

WE DID NOTE ONE VIOLATION AND THAT INSPECTION.

[00:40:02]

OTHER THAN THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU, CHIEF.

>> REGARDING AN EVENT, WE ACTUALLY HAD A LOCAL PIZZERIA TEST TO HEAR THAT, DECIDED TO DONATE WHAT, 60 PIZZAS TO FIRST RESPONDERS.

THE ENTIRE COUNCIL SHOWED UP TO PARTICIPATE THAT AND WE HAPPILY DELIVERED SOME TO FIREFIGHTERS, AND OF COURSE IT'S DISPATCHERS.

JUST TO DO OUR SMALL TOKEN TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK THAT YOU ALL ARE DOING THIS TOUGH TIME.

THANK YOU FOR THAT COUNCIL.

ANY EITHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS?

>> CHIEF AS WELL. I WANTED TO BRING UP THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE QUICKLY DISCUSS THIS ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION.

YOU MAY NOT NECESSARILY HAVE EVEN HEARD ABOUT THIS PART YET.

ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK, WE DO NOT OFTEN ENGAGE WITH OUR US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

WE TYPICALLY SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME ENGAGING WITH THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE, BUT ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK THEY ARE GOING TO BE VOTING ON A BILL THAT IS A VERY BROAD BILL, BUT A KEY SECTION OF THAT BILL IS SECTION 102, WOULD ACTUALLY ELIMINATE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

THAT WOULD BE DEVASTATING NOT ONLY TO OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS, BUT IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO THE CITY AS WELL FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

ONE, IT WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MARYLAND'S LAWSUITS THAT COULD BE FILED AGAINST POLICE OFFICERS.

IT WOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY THE LEGAL COSTS FOR BOTH THOSE OFFICERS AND THE CITIES THAT WOULD BE THERE.

IT WOULD MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN OFFICERS.

THERE IS A NUMBER OF HUGE HARMFUL IMPACTS WITH THIS BILL, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER PARTS OF THE BILL THAT MIGHT BE DESTINED FOR BETTER POLICING.

THIS TYPE OF THING THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY BRING GREAT HARM TO OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STANDING UP AND SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT OKAY.

WE ARE GOING TO BE SENDING A LETTER TO ALL OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES THAT REPRESENT US DIRECTLY, BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO ALSO SEND IT TO THE TEXAS DELEGATION, THEN BRISBANE AND I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN.

AS LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, WE WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO STAND BESIDE YOU ALL ON THIS AND SAY THAT THAT NEEDS TO NOT BE SOMETHING THAT IS PASSED AND IT WOULD DEVASTATE OUR CITY FOR THAT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. YES, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT RECRUITING INTO THIS PROFESSION RIGHT NOW WE ARE SEEING.

WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A SHRINKING NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR PROBABLY THE PAST 20 YEARS, AND IT IS ACCELERATED CERTAINLY WITHIN THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND TAKEN AWAY CALLED QUALIFIED IMMUNITY WOULD ONLY FURTHER DOWN THAT PATH.

ANYTHING THAT PROTECTS OUR OFFICERS, PROTECTS OUR CITY, CERTAINLY WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. [NOISE] THANK YOU.

>> I WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 12, WHICH IS OUR VISIT FRISCO OF WORK.

[12. Visit Frisco January sales and marketing reports and December metrics report.]

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JANUARY SAW THE RETURN OF SOME LARGE GROUP BUSINESS HERE, NOT A LOT OF IT.

MAYBE WE JUST HOSTED ABOUT FIVE GROUPS THAT WERE ON CVP-GENERATED LEADS, BUT WE HAD A LARGE STUDENT GROUP THAT HAD ALMOST 2000 PEOPLE LIKE AMERICA CENTER IN THE EMBASSY THAT WENT OFF VERY WELL AND A LARGE [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THIS JANUARY WE RECEIVED 22 LEADS FOR FUTURE BUSINESS, AND THAT WAS MORE THAN LAST JANUARY.

WE WERE A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED BY THAT.

WHAT WE ARE FINDING NOW IS THAT THE LEADS ARE BEING GENERATED, BUT PEOPLE AREN'T SIGNING CONTRACTS YET.

THEY ARE STILL HOLDING OFF.

WE ARE FINDING A LOT OF 22 AND BEYOND BUSINESS.

WE'VE GOT SOME INCENTIVE PROGRAMS OUT THERE, WHICH I THINK I MENTIONED LAST TIME TRYING TO CLOSE SOME SHORT-TERM BUSINESS FOR THE CITY.

THEN WE DID PICK UP ANOTHER COUPLE OF EVENTS.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THE NIT ANNOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY THAT NCAA AND CONFERENCE USA WILL BE WORKING ON TOGETHER.

WE ARE WORKING ON PLACING THOSE ROOMS. THEN WE GOT AN INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY EVENT IN APRIL THAT ACTUALLY BOUGHT OUT ONE OF OUR HOTELS FOR 16 DAYS.

THAT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE, AND THEY'VE STILL GOT SOME OTHER ROOM BLOCKS THAT WE HAVE TO PLACE.

THAT ONE HOCKEY EVENT WILL GENERATE OVER AROUND TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN ECONOMIC IMPACT TO THE CITY.

WE ARE STILL SEEING THIS LIGHT ROLLER COASTER OF OCCUPANCY WHEN WE HAVE KURDS IN THEIR STRONG WEEKENDS AND SPORTS SEEMS TO BE THE EXCEPTION.

THEY ARE CONTINUING TO UNBOOK BUSINESS, BUT WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME OF OUR ASSOCIATION AND FAITH-BASED GROUPS LOOK AT 22 AND BEYOND.

WE ARE PLUGGING AWAY AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

[NOISE].

>> QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

>> CONGRATS ON THE NIT, THAT WAS A BIG WIN.

>> THAT'S A HUGE WIN. [OVERLAPPING] THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

MAYBE WE WILL GET A FULL HOUSE THERE.

WHO KNOWS? [LAUGHTER]

>> I WOULD SAY I LOVED TO SEE MY TEXAS LONGHORNS PLAY ON IT, BUT I AM HOLDING OUT TO MAKE THE ACTUAL NCAA TOURNAMENT [LAUGHTER]. WE'LL SEE.

>> WE'LL SEE. [LAUGHTER]

>> OKAY. LET US MOVE INSIDE OF 13,

[13. Financial Budget Status Report for January 2021.]

WHICH IS OUR FINANCIAL BUDGET FOUR.

[00:45:03]

>> MAIN COUNCIL YOU HAVE OUR JANUARY REPORT.

EVERYTHING'S TRACKING IS PROJECTED.

OF COURSE PROPERTY TAXES WERE DUE ON JANUARY 31ST, SO WE HAD A HUGE FAN, WE GET MOST OF OUR REVENUE OUT OF THAT SOURCE IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY EVERY YEAR.

I HAVE TWO, MAYBE I CALL THEM PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS TO THAT.

ONE IS THE EMERGENCY RENTAL AGREEMENT THAT IS PART OF THE US TREASURIES, THEY ARE FUNDING THAT FOR US.

IT'S NUMBER 19 ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT, AND I JUST WANT TO LET CITIZENS KNOW WHO MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE.

THEY CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND IT IS INCOME LIMITED.

THEY CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND READ ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS.

WE'LL HAVE SOME LOCAL AGENCIES THAT WILL BE ADMINISTERING THAT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY.

IF PEOPLE ARE IN NEED OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE, THEY MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE AND THEY ARE WELCOMED TO GO AND APPLY.

THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT, AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN OUR BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY.

FROM THE WINTER STORM, IS LEAK ADJUSTMENTS FOR THOSE 2800 PEOPLE IF THEY GOT CALLS AND I AM SURE THERE WERE MORE THAN THAT, SOME PEOPLE PROBABLY COULD TURN THEIR OWN WATER OFF.

WE HAVE A LEAK POLICY THAT WE FOLLOW.

IT IS ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

YOU CAN JUST GO TO UTILITY BILLING DEPARTMENT AND IT'S OVERALL MOSSAD LEAK ADJUSTMENT.

THERE IS AN ONLINE FORM, AND YOU SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS FROM GETTING YOUR LEAK REPAIRED, AND THEN OUR STAFF WILL ANALYZE AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU A LEAK ADJUSTMENT WHERE WE CHARGED A WHOLESALE RIGHT ON THE WATER, BY THE FULL RETAIL RIGHT.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS SO WE WILL CONTINUE THAT.

THE SECOND CONCERN WE'VE HAD IS WE HAVE VERY SMART WATER CUSTOMERS IN FRISCO AND THEY KNOW THAT THEIR SEWER CHARGES FOR THE YEAR ARE BASED ON THEIR WINNER MEANT AVERAGE.

WE WILL BE ANALYZING THE DATA ON THE WATER CONSUMPTION.

WE USUALLY DO FORMATS WHICH WOULD BE IT'S DECEMBER THROUGH MARCH BILLING, IS NOVEMBER THROUGH FEBRUARY CONSUMPTION.

WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT.

IF FEBRUARY'S YOUR HARM MONTH WE CANNOT HARM YOU BY NOT DROPPING DECEMBER, WHICH IS USUALLY THE HARM MONTH.

THEN WE MAY GO AHEAD AND DO SEWER AVERAGING BUT THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO THIS YEAR.

ONE WOULD BE JUST TO NOT DO ANY SEWER AVERAGING THIS YEAR, AND JUST LIKE LAST YEAR'S SEWER AVERAGE BE FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

WE WILL MAKE THOSE DECISIONS, COMMUNICATE WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND THEN HE WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW.

THE OTHER THING THAT A LOT OF LOCAL CITIES ARE DOING IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING A DRIP ADJUSTMENT FOR PEOPLE BECAUSE WE TELL THEM TO LEAVE THEIR WATER RUNNING.

WE WANT TO ANALYZE THE DATA BEFORE WE CAN MAD AND SAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO JUST GIVE AN ACROSS-THE-BOARD DRIP ADJUSTMENT.

SOME OF THE CITIES ARE DOING 2000 GALLONS, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A LOT UNTIL YOU DO THE MATH AND IT ENDS UP BEING SEVEN DOLLARS AND 56 CENTS, OR RICHARDSON'S DOING $15, WHICH HERE OUR MINIMUM BILL IS, $18, WHICH IS THE FIRST 2000 GALLONS.

WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE DATA THOUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAD EXCESS WATER USAGE DURING THAT TIME THAT DIDN'T HAVE A LEAK, AND WE'LL COMMUNICATE BACK TO THE CITY MANAGER AND HE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.

IF WE DO SOMETHING, WE WOULD PROBABLY RECOMMEND THAT WE DO IT DURING THE APRIL BILLING CYCLES.

WE WILL LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW WHAT WE DECIDE ON THAT TO RECOMMEND.

WITH THAT, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. COUNCIL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

>> THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 14,

[14. Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.]

WHICH IS THE COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE GOVERNMENT'S BUDGET AND NOT AT FRISCO SQUARE MANAGEMENT, DALLAS REGIONAL MOBILITY, NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, FRISCO VETERANS ADVISORY AND THE NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION, AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL.

COUNCIL WHAT EVIDENCE DO WE HAVE?

>> IT DID HAVE A VERY LONG BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY.

WE ACCEPTED AN UNMODIFIED OPINION WITH NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES OR NO SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES FROM OUR AUDITORS.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE RFP FOR OUR NEXT AUDITORS, WE'RE DOWN TO TWO FOR THAT.

WE HAD A DISCUSSION AROUND THE BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WILL BE COMING BACK IN FRONT OF THE CITY COUNCIL SO THE BUDGET AMENDMENT 3, WHICH HAS ABOUT ROUGHLY A MILLION DOLLARS IN IT, IT'S OFFSET BY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS OF CARES FUNDING.

AS NEEDED, KIND OF SPOKE TO WE DISCUSSED THE WATER LEAK ADJUSTMENTS AND TALKED ABOUT THE LEAK ADJUSTMENT ITSELF.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE HIGHER MONTHS AND THE ONE THING WE COULD NOT REACH CONSENSUS ON,

[00:50:04]

AS ANITA MENTIONED, WAS THE DRIP RATE AND HOW WE DO THAT.

WE HAD THE INITIAL DISCUSSION ON HOW COMPETITIVE AND HOW WE WANT TO MEASURE OURSELVES FROM A BENCHMARK PERSPECTIVE REGARDING COMP AND BENEFITS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES.

>> THE OTHER [OVERLAPPING] THE OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES.

>> THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

IT DOES NOT REDUCE THE MULTIFAMILY NUMBER.

[39. Public Hearing: A request to amend the 2015 Comprehensive Plan with an updated Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) and consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Case No. CA20-0002. (Development Services/CL)]

A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST TO AMEND THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH AN UPDATED FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE TO THE SAME COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CASE NUMBER CA20-0002.

>> AS MARILYN CITY COUNCIL, WE HAD A WORK SESSION BACK IN NOVEMBER ON SEVERAL TRACKS ABOUT AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN TO IMPACT THE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS, AND SO WITHIN YOUR PACKET, IT BREAKS THEM DOWN ABOUT HOW MANY UNITS WOULD BE DECREASED IN EACH AREA.

WHAT WAS PRESENTING AT THE WORK SESSION WAS ABOUT A DECREASE OF 7,500 UNITS AFTER THIS WAS REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THAT MADE A COUPLE OF CHANGES AND ESSENTIALLY REDUCING THIS AROUND ABOUT 7,000 UNITS.

THAT'S POTENTIAL UNITS.

THOSE AREAS WHICH THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING WAS AREA NUMBER 6, THAT'S AROUND TOYOTA STADIUM.

JOHN WAGNER WITH HUNTS SPORTS GROUP CAME TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING AND STATED THEY

[01:00:01]

DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING AROUND THE PROPERTY BUT THEY WANT TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF DOING RESIDENTIAL, WHICH PROBABLY WILL MAKE SENSE SINCE THEY'LL HAVE A MIXED-USE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.

NO CHANGE FROM THAT WAS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION.

THEN THE AREA NUMBER 10, THAT'S WHERE APARTMENTS HAVE BEEN BUILT JUST TO THE EAST OF THE SCOTTISH RITE HOSPITAL THAT WAS BEING PROPOSED TO TAKE IT TO A NON-RESIDENTIAL USE.

MOST OF THE DISCUSSION WAS ON NUMBER 5 AND LET ME GO TO THE FIFTH ONE.

DOWN HERE ON THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER, ESSENTIALLY THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BNSF AND EL DORADO THAT HAD BEEN DESIGNATED FOR MIXED-USE, BUT THAT HAS DEVELOP AS SINGLE-FAMILY.

THAT WAS COVERED BY A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ON BAXTER BRINKMANN. NO ISSUE THERE.

BUT FOR THIS TRIP RIGHT HERE, A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT FOR MOVING THE MIXED-USE, THE PROPERTY OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE THOUGHT THEY HAD RIGHT TO RETAIL, AND RETAIL IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE INTERSECTION OF FRISCO STREET AND PANTHER CREEK.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY HAD ASKED THE STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT OTHER RESIDENTIAL USES COULD BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY, EXCLUDING URBAN LIVING.

URBAN LIVING REALLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ON THE PROPERTY, CONSIDERING YOU HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE WEST, AND SO THE EXHIBIT THAT STAFF DEVELOPERS AND THE ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN.

THAT'S BASICALLY TOWNHOMES THAT'S ABOUT SEVEN UNITS TO THE ACRE IS NOT ENGINEERED OR ANYTHING, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING POTENTIALLY COULD BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY OF MOST LIKELY THE HIGHEST DENSE DAY WITHOUT HAVING URBAN LIVING ON THE PROPERTY.

THE ONLY ONE TO VOTE AN OPPOSITION WAS COMMISSIONER COHN WHO FELT THAT IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE.

WITH THAT, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING THE PACK AND BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

>> A PUBLIC HEARING.

>> MOTION BY SHONA, [OVERLAPPING] SECOND BY WILL ALL IN FAVOR.

>> I.

>> MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO.

ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE? [NOISE].

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY SHONA ALL IN FAVOR?

>> I. [OVERLAPPING]

>> I.

>> MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO [NOISE] PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

[BACKGROUND] COUNCILOR, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? [NOISE] LIKE A PRETTY THOROUGH REVIEW, [NOISE] ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE SENSE AND BY THE POWER SEEING THINGS DEVELOP.

>> I THINK THE ONLY THING I WOULD WANT TO CLARIFY IS THIS IS NOT CHANGED OWNING THAT EITHER ALREADY EXISTS [OVERLAPPING] AND IT DOES NOT ESTABLISH A [INAUDIBLE].

IT IS JUST A GUIDELINE FOR US TO USE FOR PLANNING IN THE FUTURE AND IT'S [NOISE] WHERE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS COME FROM, BUT IT HAS NOT CHANGED.

IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE ZONING OR CHANGE WHAT'S ALREADY THERE?

>> THAT IS CORRECT AND ONE FOUNDER WANT TO ADD ONE THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE WORK SESSION BACK IN NOVEMBER, YOU HAD REQUESTED OF US TO NOTIFY ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

THAT WAS DONE EVEN THOUGH THAT WASN'T REQUIRED BY STATE LAW, THAT WAS DONE.

>> [BACKGROUND] THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN IS A LIVING [NOISE] BREATHING DOCUMENT TO SHONA'S, POINT [BACKGROUND].

THE FACT THAT REMINDED ME AT OUR WORK SESSION WHEN I THINK YOU WERE SHOWING US A REALLY OLD FUTURE LAND USE AND LAND THAT WERE [NOISE] STONE BROAD [INAUDIBLE] WAS, I THINK WHAT THEY CONTEMPLATED INDUSTRIAL USES.

>> WELL, I'LL THINK THERE WAS LIKE RETAIL AND SINGLE FAMILY [LAUGHTER] , BUT FOR THIS AREA WHEN THAT WE'RE AND RIGHT NOW WAS INDUSTRIAL.

>> AS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPS OBVIOUSLY THINGS CHANGE, BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A PLAN IN MIND AND A PLAN IN PLACE AND ALWAYS CONTINUE TO REVIEW IT LIKE WE'RE DOING [NOISE] TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT WORK, COUNCILOR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? [NOISE]

>> I THINK THE ONLY OTHER THING TO POINT OUT WAS THAT THE PLANNING OF IT DID REDUCE SOME OF THE MULTIFAMILY. [OVERLAPPING]

>> YES POTENTIAL. [OVERLAPPING]

>> BASED ON SOME OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SET UP AND ESTABLISHED IN SOME OTHER AREAS.

>> [NOISE] I DO WANT TO SHARE THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDED US WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS ABOUT OUR ANTICIPATED POPULATION BECAUSE I REMEMBER AT A WORK SESSION.

[BACKGROUND] SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AGO [NOISE] WHERE WE ARE STARTING HERE NUMBER [NOISE] THAT WE WERE TRACKING TOWARDS 500,000 AND HOT IN THE FALL IT WAS A BIG NUMBER.

[NOISE]

>> [OVERLAPPING] 475 I THINK [NOISE] IT WAS AROUND 475.

>> I THINK ALL OF US PANICKED A LITTLE BIT AND [NOISE] IT'S DECIDED THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AND SO BASED ON THE ANALYSIS YOU DID OF WHERE WE STAND [NOISE] , WE'RE LOOKING TO TRACK IN THAT 325,000.

>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S RIGHT.

>> [OVERLAPPING] KIND OF RANGE IT'S KIND OF THE PREDICTION THAT WE [NOISE] SEE SO I KNOW A LOT OF HARD WORK WENT IN TO TRY AND REDUCE [NOISE] THAT MEANS IN A LOT OF PEOPLE [NOISE] TALK ABOUT DENSITY, BUT IT'S THE HARD WORK ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES AND SAY OKAY.

TELL US 450 GET THAT DOWN TO WHAT WE WANT THIS COMMUNITY-BASED.

[01:05:04]

[NOISE]

>> FROM OUR [BACKGROUND] JANUARY WORK [NOISE] SESSION THERE'S ONLY 2%, IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY IF THE ENTIRE CITY [NOISE] THAT'S NOT PLANNED OR.

>> [OVERLAPPING] YEAH MID ZONE LIKE AGRICULTURE [OVERLAPPING] WAS 22% OF THE LAND'S VACANT AND THEN YOU TAKE OUT THE FLOOD PLAIN AND FLOOD ZONE BUT FLUXES OWN AGRICULTURAL, IS IT LIKE AROUND 2%?

>> THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE LEFT TO WORK ON.

[BACKGROUND] NOT MUCH.

>> THANK YOU JOHN.

>> LET'S SEE THAT WILL MOVE US TO.

[OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE] OH THANK YOU YES. WHERE? [NOISE].

>> 39.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> APPROVE THEM 39.

>> [OVERLAPPING] SECOND MOTION BY SHONA, SECOND BY WILL ALL IN FAVOR.

>> I. [OVERLAPPING]

>> I.

>> OPPOSE THAT MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO AND THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 40, [NOISE] WHICH IS A PRESENTATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF

[40. Presentation and acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), Auditor's Report, Single Audit Report, and Citizens Financial Report (CFR). (Financial Services/AC)]

THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT.

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS AN ACCEPTANCE AGENDA ITEM.

I HOPE YOU ALL GOT YOUR COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT IN YOUR POPULAR REPORT AND YOUR SINGLE AUDIT IN THE AUDITOR'S REPORT, AND THEY WERE ALL LEFT FOR YOU IN MCCALLUM ROOM.

THEY'RE ALSO ALL AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR OUR CITIZENS TO REVIEW AND, [NOISE] THIS IS OUR ANNUAL AUDIT.

[NOISE] OUR AUDITORS WAIVER AND TIDWELL WERE HERE GERRY GUNTHER OUR CONCURRING PARTNER, WAS HERE TODAY AND MET WITH THE BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE AS MR. SALE TOLD YOU.

WE GOT UNQUALIFIED OPINIONS, SO WE HAD A GOOD AUDIT, THERE [NOISE] WERE NO FINDINGS, THERE WERE NO AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS, THERE WERE NO DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT, AND THERE'S NO MANAGEMENT LETTER THIS YEAR.

THAT WAS THE FIFTH YEAR I KNOW IN A ROW THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD A MANAGEMENT LETTER WHICH IS A BIG DEAL IN THE AUDIT WORLD.

LIKE I SAID, THE ELECTRONIC VERSIONS ARE OUT THERE AND THERE WERE ALSO IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET.

IF YOU READ THE WHOLE THING AND WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS, I'M THINKING IT'S NOT MORE THAN THE 25 MINUTE READ.

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CITY AND HOW WE FINANCE OPERATIONS OR HOW WE FINANCE THE EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER OR THE POLICE, OR THE FIRE, OR THE LIBRARY, OR THE PARKS OR ALL THESE THINGS THAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT.

YOU CAN GET A CONDENSED STORY WITH THE CITIZENS FINANCIAL REPORT I THINK IT'S A REAL GOOD STORY TO TELL.

I ALWAYS WANT TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD I FEEL LIKE, BUT ALWAYS WANT TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN OUR FINANCIAL AND FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES.

OF COURSE, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE NAIL AND GEORGE AND HENRY AND BEN IN MY STAFF IN FINANCIAL SERVICES, ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND THEIR STAFF THAT HELP US PULL TOGETHER THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK.

THIS YEAR, I JUST REALLY WANT TO THANK KIM SINCLAIR'S HERE SHE'S OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND SHE'S ALWAYS OUR AUDIT MANAGER.

THEN THIS YEAR SHE HAD ONE OF HER STAFF, OUR CONTROLLER, DEREK COTTON STEPPED UP AND MANAGED THE AUDIT FOR HER AND HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND DIDN'T MISS A BIT EVEN WITH OUR PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME.

I THINK THE AUDIT PARTNER POINTED THAT OUT IN THE MEETING TODAY THAT THEY'VE GONE INTO SOME OTHER CLIENTS AND THEY WEREN'T READY AND WEREN'T PREPARED BECAUSE THEY HADN'T BEEN THERE MOST OF THE YEAR.

WE'RE VERY, VERY PROUD, BUT DIDN'T REALLY THIS YEAR THE TORCH WAS PASSED SINCE 1993 ANY WAY HAVE PRETTY WELL WROTE THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR WHATEVER AGENCY I WAS WORKING FOR WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM STAFF.

THIS YEAR I ACTUALLY TURNED IT OVER AND WE HAD MENTOR HOVLAND WHO'S ONE OF OUR SENIOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANTS AND SINCE SHE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT SHE'S ACTUALLY IN QUARANTINE.

SHE REALLY DID TAKE IT AND I HAD TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE I THINK AT A [NOISE] 10 YEAR SERVICE AWARD LUNCHEON THAT, SHE WAS GOING TO DO IT AND DO IT A LOT BETTER THAN ME AND SHE DID.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AND I'M VERY, VERY PROUD BECAUSE THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, WE HAVE A TEAM AND WHEN WE ASKED HIM TO STEP UP AND SHAM THEY DO AND SO I THINK IT'S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY TO HAVE THAT.

THEN THE OTHER PERSON THAT I WANT TO RECOGNIZE, ESPECIALLY IN FINANCIAL SERVICES IS BLINE MORRIS, AND HE'S NOT HERE EITHER BUT HE'S OUR SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST AND THERE'S A LOT OF THE BUDGET WORK FOR US.

IN THIS YEAR, HE DID THE CITIZENS FINANCIAL REPORT, HE WROTE THE WHOLE THING AND TIAN ANDERSON HIS MANAGER, OUR BUDGET MANAGER SHE EDITED IT.

LITERALLY THE TORCH WAS PASSED THIS YEAR.

KIM AND I STEP BACK AND OUR STAFF JUST REALLY SHOWED

[01:10:01]

US WHAT A GREAT JOB THAT THEY COULD DO SO WE'RE VERY, VERY PLEASED.

I HOPE YOU'RE PLEASED WITH THE REPORTS AND THE RESULTS OF THE AUDIT, THE ONLY THING THAT YOU NEED TO DO TO NOT IS ACCEPT THE REPORTS IN TWO WEEKS.

WE KICK OFF BUDGET FY 2022 SO, THAT'S OUR CIRCLE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES.

[NOISE]

>> RIGHT THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK, [NOISE] I KNOW WE'VE WON EVERY BUDGET AWARD FOR TRANSPARENCY AND THE AUDITOR IS ALWAYS RAVE ABOUT THE WORK YOU DO TO PREPARE AND MAKES US FEEL REAL GOOD AS A COUNCIL THAT FEELS LEADERSHIP, RUNNING OUR FINANCIAL SO THANK YOU AGAIN.

>> COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ON THE SIDE?

>> HAD THREE QUICK COMMENTS FROM THE BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE PERSPECTIVE.

ONE WAS THE AUDITOR DIDN'T NOTE AS AND HE DIDN'T MENTION THAT STAFF WAS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL PREPARED IN A COVID YEAR WHERE THEY'VE HAD CHALLENGES WITH ANY OTHER OR MANY OTHER [NOISE] CITIES OR MUNICIPALITIES AS WELL.

THE AUDIT ALSO INCLUDED THIS YEAR INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FEDERAL FINANCIAL PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE BUT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL TO COMMENT, I FOUND I DON'T KNOW, MOST SATISFYING IT WAS THIS ONE THAT NO DIFFICULTIES OR DISAGREEMENTS AROSE DURING THE COURSE OF OUR AUDIT.

WE CAN'T MAKE IT THROUGH AN EXECUTIVE SESSION WITHOUT DIFFICULTIES OR DISAGREEMENT [LAUGHTER] SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COMPELLING.

>> I DIDN'T MENTION IT, BUT WE DID ACCOUNT FOR OVER 13 MILLION DOLLARS IN FEDERAL MONEY WITH THE CARES.

WE DID THE BUSINESS GRANTS WHICH THOSE SAME STAFF I JUST MENTIONED WERE ALL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WORKING WITH BRAWN AND HIS TEAM, AND THEN WE DID THE HOUSING.

WE SPENT THE SUMMER GIVING OUT MONEY BASICALLY, SO IT'S A GOOD THING.

>> I'VE WORKED WITH A DIFFERENT FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT CAME OUT OF THAT CARES ACT, AND THE ONEROUSNESS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN SOME CASES IS PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL.

IT'S A CREDIT TO YOU ALL THAT YOU AND RON OVER THE ADC AND EVERYBODY THAT PARTICIPATED IN THOSE PROGRAMS GOT THOSE ROLLED OUT AS QUICKLY AS YOU DID.

GOT EVERYTHING, GOT THE MONEY OUT THE DOOR, AND THERE WERE NO AUDIT ISSUES.

KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THAT?

>> TO CLARIFY, IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE THAT SOUNDBITE.

YOU MANAGED THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT WERE COMING THROUGH.

WE WEREN'T HANDING OUT CITY MONEY.

>> EXACTLY.

>> CORRECT.

>> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY TOOK THAT SOUNDBITE.

>> [LAUGHTER] HI, [INAUDIBLE] WOULD HARDLY EVEN GIVE YOU A DRIP ADJUSTMENTS, SO [LAUGHTER] [NOISE] [BACKGROUND] IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAND OUT MANY.

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT [INAUDIBLE] MORE BORING, OR JUST GREAT.

WE DON'T WANT TO UPSET ANYONE. THAT'S NOT GOOD.

I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF RUNNING FIVE AUDITS MYSELF AND THEY'RE A MUCH SMALLER COMPANY AND DID NOT ESCAPE THAT CLEAN.

THERE'S ALWAYS COMMANDS, BUT YOU GUYS RUN AN AMAZING, REALLY TIGHT SHIP AND THAT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

>> I NOW THINK IT'S A TESTAMENT TO THE WHOLE CITY BECAUSE WE HELD THE DEPARTMENT TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD.

WE JUST FEEL LIKE WE'RE THE CUSTODIAN OF DEFENSE AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERY MONTH IS ALMOST LIKE A MINI CLAUSE SO WHEN YOU GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR, THERE'S NO SURPRISES.

YOU'VE ALREADY RECONCILED AND YOU DON'T HAVE MONTHS OF RECONCILIATIONS TODAY AND SUCH. THANK YOU ALL.

>> MOVE TO ACCEPT THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, AUTHORS REPORT, SINGLE AUDIT REPORT, AND CITIZENS FINANCIAL REPORT. SECOND.

>> I WILL SECOND BY BILL ON FAVOR?

I WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 41,

>> MOTION PASSES 60.

[41. Consider and act upon selecting a name for the First Street park site and reconsideration of changing the name Persimmon Park as recommended by the Park and Trail Naming Committee. (Parks and Recreation/RW)]

WHICH IS CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON SELECTING A NAME FOR THE FIRST STREET PARK SITE AND RECONSIDERATION OF CHANGING THE NAME FOR SIN AND PARK AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PARK AND TRAIL NAMING COMMITTEE.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

TONIGHT I AM EXCITED TO COME WITH YOU WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PARKS AND TRAILS NAMING COMMITTEE TO BE ABLE TO NAME NOT ONLY THE FIRST STREET PARK, WHICH HAS BEEN A LONG-TIME INVENTORY ITEM ON OUR LIST FOR OVER ALMOST 40 YEARS NOW.

AS WELL AS RECOMMENDING A CHANGE IN ONE OF OUR PARKS THAT WAS RECENTLY NAMED BACK IN DECEMBER.

REALLY WHAT I'D LIKE TO START OUT BY SAYING IS, HOW EXCITED WE ARE ABOUT THE PROCESS AND HOW WELL THE COMMUNITY RESPONDED TO IT.

THE PARK AND TRAIL NAMING COMMITTEE IS NOT OFTEN MET WITH A NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED THIS YEAR.

ESPECIALLY FOR THIS SITE, FOR A SITE THAT IS LESS THAN AN ACRE IN SIZE, LITTLE OVER AN ACRE NOW.

TO GET 37 DIFFERENT NOMINATIONS AND TO BE ABLE TO GET 12 SEPARATE NAMES TO PROVIDE FOR IT, IS AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT AND ALL HAD VALUE.

[01:15:03]

WE'RE EXCITED BY ALL THE NAMES THAT WERE SUBMITTED, AND I KNOW THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED THOSE AND GAVE EACH ONE VALUE.

BUT WITHOUT A DOUBT, I THINK THE TWO THAT TOLD THE STORY OF FRISCO AND ITS EARLY HISTORY, AS WELL AS ITS CURRENT HISTORY, WERE TWO NAMES AND SPECIFICS.

THAT WOULD BE JACK HAMILTON AND JANE JIMMY AND CLARA JONES.

BOTH OF THOSE NAMES CAME UP OFTENTIMES WITH DIFFERENT SUBMISSIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT TELLS YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY ABOUT FRISCO BECAUSE JACK HAMILTON WAS NOT ONLY A LEGEND IN HIS OWN WAVE WHEN COMING TO FRISCO AND ESTABLISHING HAMILTON BAPTIST CHURCH, BUT THAT WAS DONE BACK IN 1914 WHEN HE BROUGHT HIS CONGREGATION.

THEN HE STARTED AT HIS HOUSE AND BROUGHT IT TOWARDS CURRENT LOCATION AS HAMILTON CHAPEL BAPTIST CHURCHES TODAY, WHICH IS AT FIRST STREET AND ASH STREET.

THAT CHURCH HAS BEEN HERE ALMOST 107 YEARS, AND IT IS AMAZING HOW THAT HISTORY CONTINUED ON.

NOT ONLY IS THE CITY'S FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHURCH, BUT IT ALSO WAS THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN SCHOOL.

IT FUNCTIONED AS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR YEARS UP UNTIL 1964, AND IT WAS KNOWN AS HAMILTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

JACK HAMILTON, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WAS A NAME THAT HAD QUITE A BIT OF VALUE, I THINK TO THE COMMITTEE, AND TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT AND SAY THAT TRULY HAD VALUE.

THE OTHER NAME THAT I MENTIONED WAS THE FAMILY NAME OF JIMMY AND CLARA JONES, AND THE JONESES FAMILY HAS BEEN INTEGRAL IN FRISCO FOR SEVERAL DECADES.

THEIR FAMILY HAS NOT ONLY LIVED WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF DOORS DOWN FROM THE CHURCH BUT ACTUALLY, MR. JONES AND JIMMY IS ACTUALLY THE GREAT-NEPHEW OF JACK HAMILTON'S.

THERE'S A CONNECTION IN THAT WAY, THEIR CONNECTION TO THE CHURCH AND TO THE COMMUNITY IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY THERE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA HAS BEEN WELL-KNOWN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WAS OBVIOUS WHEN WE HAD PEOPLE COMMENT ON BOTH OF THOSE NOMINATIONS.

HOW WELL THEY HAD BEEN RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS AND HOW MUCH THEY POTENTIALLY SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED.

THE COMMITTEE WAS SOMEWHAT FACED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT WERE THERE TOOK THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE HAD JUST NAMED WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAD NAMED AS PERSIMMON PARK, WHICH IS IN FRISCO SQUARE JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE EAST OF WHERE CITY HALL IS TODAY.

I THINK THERE WAS SOME THOUGHT AT THE TIME THAT, THAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE A PLACEHOLDER FOR POSSIBLY ANOTHER NAME THAT MIGHT COME AT SOME POINT.

LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT ONE WAY THAT POTENTIALLY THAT COULD HAPPEN IS TO RECOGNIZE ONE OF THESE TWO NAMES FOR THAT.

I THINK THE COMMITTEE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, JACK HAMILTON WITHOUT A DOUBT, IS TIED DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH AND THE LOCATION OF THE PARK IS DIRECTLY CATTY-CORNER FROM THAT CORNER WHERE THE CHURCH IS LOCATED.

THEY FELT LIKE THAT WAS VALUE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO RECOMMEND TO YOU THAT THE PARK BE NAMED JACK HAMILTON PARK.

THE OTHER THING THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A HIGH VALUE WAS TO RECOGNIZE JONES'S FAMILY.

WHAT BETTER WAY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT THAN TO FIND A PARK THAT WE HAVE, THAT IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF FIRST STREET PARK, AS WELL AS HAMILTON CHAPEL, BAPTIST CHURCH, AND STILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THIS WONDERFUL FAMILY.

THE PARK THAT WE HAVE THERE ONCE IT'S DEVELOPED LATER THIS YEAR, WILL BE ONE THAT PROBABLY IS MORE GEARED TOWARDS FAMILY USE, LITTLE MORE MULTI-USE IN ITS WAY.

I THINK IT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF DOING THAT, SO THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO USE TO CONSIDER CHANGING THE NAME OF PERSIMMON PARK TO JIMMY AND CLARA JONES PARK AND TO NAME THE FIRST STREET PARK SITE WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS IS THE JACK HAMILTON PARK.

WITH THAT, I KNOW WE'VE GOT, I KNOW CHRIS FIELD IS HERE, SEAN IS HERE.

IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANYONE FROM THE COMMITTEE, OBVIOUSLY, BILL AND DAN WERE ON THAT AS WELL, FEEL FREE TO ASK AND I'LL TRY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE.

>> NICE PRESENTATION. WELL SAID.

I KNOW WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC CARD.

>> [LAUGHTER] ARE WE GOING TO LIMIT HIS TIME? [LAUGHTER]

>> YES, WE ARE. [LAUGHTER]

>> WE'RE GOING TO PUT A TIMER ON HIM?

>> JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER RESIDENT.

>> YEAH. YOU GET 60 SECONDS, SORRY.

[LAUGHTER] WE HAVE TIM NELSON.

IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, AS YOU COME FORWARD TO SPEAK ON THIS, STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS, AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIMER.

[LAUGHTER]

>> YES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TIM NELSON, 6624 WAVERLY LANE, FRISCO, TEXAS.

I'M JUST ONE MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE THAT'S HERE TONIGHT AND WAS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE ITSELF AS WELL.

I DIDN'T BRING ANY PRE-PREPARED REMARKS.

IN MY MIND, THIS IS REALLY AN EASY DECISION FOR THE COUNCIL TO MAKE.

[01:20:02]

BUT I THOUGHT THAT APROPOS THAT THE CITY TAKE THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, A COMMUNITY THAT IN THE PAST, WAS NOT AS WELL TREATED WITHIN THE CITY OF FRISCO BACK IN THE DAY.

WHEN WE WORKED WITH PARKS AND REC, WE REALIZED THAT AT THIS POINT, WE HADN'T REALIZED ANY PARKS THAT WERE NAMED AFTER AFRICAN AMERICAN RESIDENTS, THAT WE FELT NO BETTER WAY THAN TO RECOGNIZE JACK HAMILTON AND JIMMY AND CLARA JONES.

I KNOW THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY ALREADY HEARD FROM DR. REEDY, I KNOW YOU MAY HAVE HEARD FROM ISABEL SEM AS WELL.

SHE'S OBVIOUSLY A VERY PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY.

THIS WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT IF WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LAST MONTH, BEING AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, BUT I JUST WANT TO SHOW THAT IF IT WAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BRING ME OUT OF RETIREMENT TO [LAUGHTER] COME HERE TONIGHT AND SPEAK ON, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING FOR NOT ONLY TO RECOGNIZE THESE FORMER RESIDENTS BUT FOR THE CITY TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. APPRECIATE IT.

>> FOR SOME REASON, I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME.

[LAUGHTER] BILL, ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD AS PART OF THE COMMITTEE?

>> THE COMMITTEE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THIS AND I THINK GOING INTO THIS ONE, DID YOU MEAN CLARA HAD COME UP AS A NAME POTENTIALLY FOR FIRST STREET PARK? ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS GREAT ABOUT THIS PROCESS IS THROUGH THE PROCESS, THE JACK HAMILTON NAME CAME UP TOO, AND TO HEAR FROM THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH THAT WAS THERE WAS VERY POIGNANT.

FRANKLY, I THINK SOME OF THE BEST HISTORY I WISH EVERYBODY COULD HAVE HEARD IT WAS TO HEAR DR. REEDY TALK ABOUT JIMMY AND CLARA AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY AND WHEN HE WAS A PRINCIPAL AND TEACHING THEIR KIDS AS THEY WERE GROWING UP AND HOW INVOLVED THAT FAMILY STILL IS.

PERSIMMON PARK WAS DEFINITELY A PLACEHOLDER WE HAD TALKED ABOUT.

IT JUST HAPPENS THAT IT MIGHT BE THE SHORTEST-LIVED NAME FOR A PARK IN THE CITY OF FRISCO AT THIS POINT.

I THINK THE COMMITTEE DID A GREAT WORK ON THIS.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING PART OF THAT, AND I THINK IT'S GREAT RECOMMENDATION.

>> THANK YOU, BILL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

I KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS LATE LAST YEAR ABOUT SOME OF THESE NAMING RIGHTS AND WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO USE OUR ASSETS, AND WE'VE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO USE THEM TO TELL THE STORY OF FRISCO AND TELL THE STORY OF THE FABRIC OF THIS COMMUNITY.

I THINK THE NAMING COMMITTEE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB IN THIS ONE.

I MEAN, THIS WAS A HOME RUN, I THINK, TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE HAMILTON FAMILY AND THE JONES FAMILY IN THIS WAY, FOR IT TO BE THE FIRST PARKS THAT WE NAME AFTER AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THIS COMMUNITY.

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING BUT THAT ENDS NOW TONIGHT, AND WE'LL CELEBRATE MANY MORE FAMILIES HERE IN THE COMING FUTURE.

BUT AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOU-ALL'S WORK AND YOUR RESEARCH AND A LOT GOES INTO IT WHEN YOU NAME SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY WELL, AND YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB HERE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

>> I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 41.

>> MOTION BY BILL.

>> SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> UNOPPOSED. THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. THANK YOU, BILL.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

[42. Consider and act upon the approval of the January 19, 2021 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes. TABLED 2/2/2021 (CSO/KM)]

>> BY WILL, SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR?

THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 43,

[43. Consider and approve the City Council's Top Ten Priorities for Fiscal Year 2021.]

WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL'S TOP 10 PRIORITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021.

>> YES. MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, IT HAS BEEN THE CITY'S PRACTICE FOLLOWING THE WINTER WORK SESSION TO FORMALLY ADOPT THE TOP PRIORITIES AS SET BY COUNSEL DURING THAT WORK SESSION, AND SO IT'S HERE FOR YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT.

>> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU, HENRY.

AS HENRY MENTIONED, WE MAKE THIS AN ANNUAL TRADITION.

WE'LL RESET PRIORITIES FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR AND I'LL JUST READ THERE REAL QUICK.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH DETAILED EXPLANATIONS BECAUSE WE SPENT SEVERAL DAYS WORKING THROUGH THESE AT OUR WORK SESSION, BUT IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER OF PRIORITY.

IT'S MASTER PLANNING OF GRAND PARK.

YES, WE ARE FINALLY WORKING ON THIS TO BRING A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER TO OUR COMMUNITY.

OUR FRISCO REINVESTMENT STRATEGY FOR SOME OF THE AGING PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

VENTURE CAPITAL GROWTH, WITH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

[01:25:02]

BEING A PLAYER FOR THE WORLD CUP IN 2026.

TRAFFIC INVESTMENTS SO WHEN PEOPLE START GOING BACK TO WORK, OUR TRAFFIC CONGESTION WILL BE RELIEVED.

OF COURSE, TRAIL CONNECTIVITY, MANY OF YOU ARE USING MORE TRAILS THAN EVER POST-COVID.

THE STATE LEGISLATIVE STRATEGY THAT'S IN SESSION NOW, SHONA MENTIONED ABOUT SOME OF THAT WORK EARLIER TONIGHT.

TOURISM, AS MANY OF YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAD OVER 6 MILLION VISITORS HERE IN FRISCO IN 2019.

WE DID NOT HAVE THAT MANY IN 2020, BUT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO WELCOMING THEM BACK AND MAKING FRISCO A SAFE DESTINATION.

SPEAKING OF DESTINATIONS, THE LAST ONE WAS ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATION, WHICH IS A QUESTION THAT I ASKED MANY TIMES, MANY OF YOU'VE HEARD, WHICH IS ASKING OUR RESIDENTS, WHAT DO YOU LEAVE FRISCO FOR? I THINK MANY OF US WOULD SAY THE MOST COMMON ANSWER WE GET TODAY IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT, LIVE MUSIC, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

GOING TO LEGACY WEST, GOING TO WHAT'S HAPPENING AT GRANDSCAPE.

THEY'VE DONE SOME GREAT JOBS.

WE'VE DONE SOME PHENOMENAL WORK WITH THE BIGGER SCALE ENTERTAINMENT, WITH OUR VENUES AND SPORTS, AND SO FORTH.

BUT WE REALLY WANT TO WORK ON SOME OF THOSE SMALLER SCALE ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATIONS AND FAMILY DESTINATIONS.

THAT IS OUR TOP 10 LIST FOR 2021.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ADD?

>> JUST TO EMPHASIZE THAT THOSE ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE ALL GET QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY IS THAT ONE FIRST OR WHY IS THAT ONE LAST, BUT WE PUT OUT 10 BUT WE DON'T PUT THEM IN AN ORDER.

>> IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENT, THEN LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 43.

>> MOTION BY WILL.

>> SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR?
