OF ALLEGIANCE]. YOU CAN HANG OUT RIGHT THERE REAL QUICK, AND I'M GOING TO...

[PROCLAMATIONS]

[00:05:03]

SO NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL RECOGNITION THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE [INAUDIBLE], AND IT READS, WHEREAS THIS IS A CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION TO [INAUDIBLE] OF FRISCO, TEXAS.

[INAUDIBLE] IS A JUNIOR AT REEDY HIGH SCHOOL.

SHE IS THE WINNER OF BOTH A LOCAL ORATORICAL CONTEST HELD BY FRISCO'S AMERICAN LEGION POST 178 IN DECEMBER OF 2020 IN THE 4TH DISTRICT ORATORICAL CONTEST HELD IN JANUARY 2021.

THE AMERICAN LEGION ORATORICAL CONTEST EXISTS TO DEVELOP DEEPER KNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATION FOR THE US CONSTITUTION AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

SINCE 1938, THE PROGRAM HAS CHALLENGED STUDENTS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION'S LAWS AND THE DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES, RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

IN ATTAINMENT OF THIS AWARD, [INAUDIBLE] HAS DEMONSTRATED OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, AND WE WISH HER CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

[APPLAUSE] I GUESS REQUIREMENT NUMBER 1 TO COMPETE IS TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PRONOUNCE ORATORICAL OUT LOUD.

[LAUGHTER] SO I STRUGGLED WITH THAT TONIGHT.

I'M SURE YOU HAD GOOD SUCCESS WITH IT, BUT WOULD JUST LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE AND WHAT YOU LEARNED ON THE JOURNEY.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SINCERELY THANK MY POST POST ONE SEVEN EIGHT PETER DECOURCY.

EACH AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN OF UTMOST SUPPORT.

IT'S BEEN MY PRIVILEGE EVERY STEP ALONG THE WAY TO DO WHAT I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

WRITING AND SPEAKING IS MY FORTE.

BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, ATTAINABLE WITHOUT THE HELP OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY OFFICERS. AND MOST ESPECIALLY, ED REED THE VICE COMMANDER AND FRED ROGERS, POST COMMANDER AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.

SECONDLY, I WOULD REALLY, REALLY WANT TO THANK MY COACH, SIDNEY H..

MRS. H., SHE IS THE SPEECH AND DEBATE COACH AT MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL.

AND, YOU KNOW, I STARTED THIS FALL AS A JUNIOR AT REEDY AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING IN HER CLASS. AND EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, SHE WAS THERE TO SUPPORT ME CONTINUOUSLY.

AND I HAVE NOTHING BUT UTMOST RESPECT FOR THE AMERICAN LEGION ORATORICAL CONTEST.

AND IT'S BEEN MY PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT FRISCO.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WANT TO THANK MY GRANDPARENTS AND MY MOM WHO ARE SITTING HERE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO HAVE BELIEVED IN ME.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU SO GREATLY. AND THAT'S BEEN MY MOM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

SO I HAVE I HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN LEGION, AND I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, MARY CHENEY. [APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATIONS, [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU OK, AND...

LET'S SEE... NEXT, WE HAVE GRANT COTTINGHAM GOING TO CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF SERVICE.

[4. Recognition for Grant Cottingham - 20 Years of Service]

YOU GET A STANDING OVATION, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD THEM HOW GREAT YOU ARE YET; THAT'S A GOOD START.

[LAUGHTER] AND IT READS, WHEREAS GRANT COTTINGHAM BEGAN HIS SERVICE WITH THE FRISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT 20 YEARS AGO ON MARCH SEVEN, 2001.

AND WHEREAS GRANT STARTED HIS CAREER AS A PUBLIC SERVICE OFFICER, HE BECAME A POLICE OFFICER TWO YEARS LATER, IN A SENSE, SERVED AS A PATROL OFFICER, A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER AND AS A COMMUNITY SERVICES OFFICER.

AND WHEREAS GRANT HOLDS A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE IN CRIME AND JUSTICE STUDIES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS, AND GRANT HAS OBTAINED SEVERAL CERTIFICATES DURING HIS TENURE WITH FRISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING MASTERPIECE OFFICER CERTIFICATE, TCOLE INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATE AND SCHOOL BASED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

[00:10:03]

HE SERVES AS A DEDICATED MEMBER OF THE FRISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S HONOR GUARD AND WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ACQUIRING TWO HONOR CHAIRS IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE DEPARTMENT'S TWO FALLEN OFFICERS. AND WHEREAS GRANT IS A DEDICATED FATHER TO HIS TWO DAUGHTERS, CAMERON AND PEYTON, AND GRANT TAKES PRIDE IN HIS CAREER AS A POLICE OFFICER AND HIS SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS IN THE CITY OF FRISCO IS A BETTER PLACE, THANKS TO HIS SKILLS AND DEDICATION.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZENS OF FRISCO, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 16, 2021 AS GRANT COTTINGHAM DAY.

[APPLAUSE] SO WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE SOME OF YOUR HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE SERVING THIS COMMUNITY FOR 20 YEARS, BUT I ALSO HEAR THERE'S A RUMOR I MAY GET IT WRONG, BUT I HEARD THERE WAS A RUMOR THAT PERHAPS ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER WAS A STUDENT OF YOURS WHILE YOU WERE AN SRO.

THAT MAY HAVE TO WEAVE ITS WAY INTO THE STORY BECAUSE I HEAR HE'S KIND OF A TROUBLEMAKER AND SOMEHOW YOU PULLED HIM OUT AND-- IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN THE AUDIENCE, TOO.

I WAS THE RESOURCE OFFICER FRISCO HIGH BACK IN '03-04.

AND BRAD, WHERE ARE YOU? [LAUGHTER] HE WAS A STUDENT THERE AND HE REMINDS ME DAILY THAT I WAS HIS S.R.O..

THE ONLY REDEEMING VALUE QUALITY THAT HE HAS IS HIS WIFE WAS ONE OF MY STUDENTS TOO, AND SHE'S AWESOME. [LAUGHTER] BUT REALLY WATCHING THE CITY GROW OVER 20 YEARS HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

I THINK BACK TO THE NUMBER OF OFFICERS THAT WE HAD ON THE STREET WAY BACK, I THINK WE MAY HAVE HAD FIVE OR SEVEN AND I WOULD LITERALLY BE THE ONLY OFFICER WORKING IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF TOWN. AND MOST OF OUR CALLS INVOLVE CATTLE GETTING LOOSE AND EATING PEOPLE'S NEW GRASS FOR THEIR NEWLY BUILT HOUSE, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT WATCHING THE CITY GROW HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE YEARS.

IF I COULD, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY GIRLS AND TO EVERYBODY THAT SHOWED UP TONIGHT TO SUPPORT ME; I APPRECIATE IT.

AND OUR LAST PROCLAMATION, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE VIETNAM

[5. Vietnam Veterans Day]

WHO'S GOING TO COME UP? ANYONE WANT TO COME DOWN OR IF YOU ALL ARE COMFORTABLE, ALL OF OUR AMERICAN LEGION VISITORS TONIGHT CAN COME UP ON THE STAGE IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE.

NOPE. [LAUGHTER] DON'T ALL STAND UP AT ONCE.

ALL RIGHT, IT READS, WHEREAS THE VIETNAM WAR VETERANS RECOGNITION ACT OF 2017 DESIGNATED MARCH 29TH OF EACH YEAR AS NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY, AND WHEREAS THE COMMEMORATIVES CELEBRATES THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY FROM NOVEMBER 1ST, 1955 TO MAY 15TH, 1975, TO HONOR THE SACRIFICES OF U.S.

ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL WHO WERE ON ACTIVE DUTY REGARDLESS OF LOCATION AND SERVICE.

AND WHEREAS MORE THAN NINE MILLION AMERICANS SERVED DURING THAT TIME AND TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION SERVED IN VIETNAM, OF THOSE TWO POINT SEVEN, THREE HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND AMERICANS WERE WOUNDED.

TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE ARE MISSING IN ACTION HEROES WHO HAVE NOT YET BEEN RETURNED TO AMERICAN SOIL.

TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED WERE PRISONERS OF WAR, AND MORE THAN 58000 NAMES ARE MEMORIALIZED ON A BLACK GRANITE WALL IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, HONORING THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES.

AND WHEREAS THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN TEXANS ARE AMONG THOSE WHO DID NOT

[00:15:03]

AND WHEREAS THE NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY IS OBSERVED EVERY YEAR ON MARCH 29TH AS A DAY TO THANK AND HONOR OUR NATION'S VIETNAM VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR THEIR SERVICE AND SACRIFICES.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHANEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 29TH, 2021 AS NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY.

GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

[LAUGHTER] I DON'T WANT TO STEAL JOHN KEATING'S THUNDER, JOHN, BUT YOU HAVE A QUICK LINE FOR THEM.

OH, GOSH, THESE ARE GREAT AMERICANS [INAUDIBLE].

AND, YOU KNOW, A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN LEGION MYSELF, I'M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THEY DO.

OH, I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.

YES, BECAUSE IT IS VIETNAM DAY.

YEAH, IT'S JUST SOMETHING I LEARNED FROM ANOTHER SOLDIER AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE PASS ON FROM SOLDIER TO SOLDIER AND ALSO TO OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ALWAYS WELCOME OUR VETERANS HOME, BUT--SORRY, WE ALWAYS THANK OUR VETERANS FOR THEIR SERVICE. BUT I ALWAYS REMIND EVERYONE TO PLEASE WELCOME OUR VIETNAM VETERANS HOME.

THEY DID NOT GET THE WELCOME HOME THAT I CERTAINLY RECEIVED AFTER THE GULF WAR.

AND THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT I WOULD PASS ON TO YOU TONIGHT IS ALWAYS THANK YOUR VETERANS FOR THEIR SERVICE. BUT TO REMEMBER TO THANK AND WELCOME VIETNAM VETERANS.

THANK YOU, JOHN. WELCOME HOME.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ED REED [INAUDIBLE] FOR POST 178.

WE APPRECIATE THE HONOR THIS EVENING.

WE WILL ACCEPT IT ON BEHALF OF ALL VIETNAM VETERANS.

IN FACT, THE MAJORITY OF OUR MEMBERSHIP OF AROUND 700 VETERANS, HALF OF THEM ARE VIETNAM VETERANS. SO IT MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO OUR POST AND IT MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ALL OF VIETNAM VETERANS IN THE CITY OF FRISCO.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU COUNCIL.

DO Y'ALL WANT TO DO QUICK PICTURE? YEAH.

[6. Recognition for Parks and Recreation staff "Overall Team Champion" for the 2021 Texas Recreation and Park Society State Maintenance Rodeo.]

HOW DO YOU ALL WANT TO PRESENT THIS? Y'ALL WANT TO COME UP? I LIKE TROPHIES.

OK, WHO'S GOING TO BE NOMINATED TO SPEAK AND SAY WHAT WE'RE CELEBRATING? WE DON'T HAVE A [INAUDIBLE]. LOOKS LIKE YOU GET THE HONOR.

SO THE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN STANDING HERE NEXT TO ME WON

[00:20:01]

AND THIS YEAR WE GOT TO HOST THE STATE CONFERENCE AND THE STATE RODEO.

AND THEY WERE THE WINNERS IN EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EVENTS.

AND BECAUSE OF THEIR WINS, WE ACTUALLY WON THE OVERALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

LAST YEAR, WE GOT OUR VERY FIRST POINTS IN STATE HISTORY.

WE HAD TWO PEOPLE COMPETE IN TWO EVENTS AND GOT TWO POINTS.

THIS YEAR, WE HAD SIX PEOPLE COMPETE IN FOUR EVENTS, GOT TWENTY TWO POINTS AND WON THE STATE TITLE. SO WE WILL BE HOSTING IT AGAIN IN TWO YEARS AND EXPECT TO DOUBLE THOSE POINTS. WHAT WERE THE EVENTS THAT WE WON? SO MOLLY KINSON WAS [INAUDIBLE].

JOAQUIN ROBLES WAS THE ZERO TURN.

EMERSON NAVARRO AND TIM WATTS, WERE THE TRUCK AND TRAILER, BLAKE HICKS WAS BACKPACK BLOWER AND ZERO TURN, AND HE ACTUALLY BEAT HIS BROTHER, WHO WAS SO ASHAMED HE WOULDN'T SHOW UP.

[LAUGHTER] BRANT HICKS WAS THE FINAL MEMBER WHO COULDN'T MAKE IT HERE.

WELL, I GOT TO GO OUT TO THIS EVENT.

SO IT'S A LARGE CONFERENCE.

I DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE THE COMPETITION, BUT I HEARD ABOUT IT HAPPENING THE NEXT DAY.

SO WHAT I WAS TOLD, IT WAS BASICALLY LIKE THE OLYMPICS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION.

SO LIKE, WHO COULD DO THE ZERO TURN THE FASTEST ON THE LAWNMOWER? CLEARLY WE HAD THAT SKILL HERE IN FRISCO AND THAT GIFT.

AND, YOU KNOW, SO, HEY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMPETE, YOU'RE GOING TO WIN, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S JUST HOW WE ROLL HERE IN FRISCO, IN SPORTS CITY, USA.

WHO KNEW THIS WAS A SPORT.

SO IT'S LIKE ANOTHER SPORT WE'RE ADDING TO OUR TOWN.

BUT IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

AND I KNOW THIS YEAR IT WAS A LARGE CONFERENCE THAT WERE HOSTING HERE IN FRISCO.

AND A LOT OF IT HAD TO BE VIRTUAL LIKE MANY OF THE CONFERENCES RIGHT NOW.

BUT BECAUSE OF THAT EXPERIENCE, ARE WE ALLOWED TO ANNOUNCE IT? WELL, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK YOU ALREADY DID IT, THAT THEY AGREED TO COME BACK AGAIN IN TWO YEARS.

OK, WELL, THANK THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WHY DON'T WE JUST MAKE IT A THING AND FIRST GO EVERY TWO YEARS AND JUST KIND OF IN THIS KIND OF THING? NO, BUT CONGRATULATIONS, I KNOW YOU HAD A LOT OF FUN, AND THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING FRISCO WELL.

[APPLAUSE] OK, THAT WILL MOVE US RIGHT INTO CITIZEN INPUT, IF THERE IS ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? OK, SEEING NONE, THAT WILL MOVE US BACK TO A REPORT, SECTION ITEM SEVEN IS THE FINANCIAL

[7. Financial Budget Status Report for February 2021.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

YOU HAVE OUR FEBRUARY FINANCIAL REPORT, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE REPORT? WE HAD A LENGTHY BUDGET UPDATE LENGTH BUDGET UPDATE HERE LAST MEETING.

SO I THINK YOU'RE GOOD THIS WEEK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM EIGHT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S REPORT.

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

BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.

ALSO, I WOULD LIKE WE'RE EXCITED TONIGHT TO KIND OF UNVEIL THE PREMIER OF OUR NEW RECRUITING VIDEO THAT OUR COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION HELPED PUT TOGETHER.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT PUT TOGETHER.

DANA AND HER TEAM, AND SO, HAPPY TO SHOW THAT TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK.

COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.

WE'RE ALWAYS HERE; WE'RE THE CONSTANT OF FRISCO.

SERVICE THE COUNTRY AND COMMUNITY WAS INSTILLED IN ME FROM A YOUNG AGE.

I BECAME A POLICE OFFICER TO IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES.

BEEN THE BEST YEARS OF MY CAREER HERE.

THE BEST PART OF THE JOB IS JUST THE CONSTANT CHANGE, THAT NO TWO DAYS ARE THE SAME.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS GOING ON HERE, SO MANY DIFFERENT DIVISIONS YOU CAN GO TO.

THERE'S ALWAYS SPOTS OPENING BECAUSE THE CITY IS GROWING SO MUCH AND IT'S JUST A GREAT

[00:25:03]

AND USUALLY WHEN YOU LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITY, YOU WANT TO FIND SOMEWHERE THAT HAS GROWTH.

AND I KNEW COMING HERE WOULD GRANT ME A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE AROUND WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT. [INAUDIBLE] EMERGENCY.

FRISCO PD IS UNIQUE BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WE HAVE.

WE HAVE A GOOD TEAMWORK MINDSET AND THE TEAMWORK, IT'S EVERYWHERE.

IT'S NOT JUST WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WITHIN THE DIFFERENT UNITS AND DIVISIONS AND BUREAUS; IT'S ALSO WITHIN THE CITY.

DID YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE THE CAR? THE CITIZENS HERE ARE FANTASTIC TO US.

THEY ALL LOVE US. WE HAVE EXCELLENT COMMUNITY RELATIONS.

IT'S A VERY HEARTWARMING FEELING.

IF YOU WANT TO SERVE IN A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY AT A POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT OFFERS YOU MANY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES, JOIN OUR TEAM.

AT FRISCO PD, YOU'LL BE SERVING ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE BEST THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS TO OFFER. BECOME PART OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN A CITY WITH A GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT'S HOME TO THE DALLAS COWBOYS, FC DALLAS, THE FRISCO ROUGHRIDERS AND THE PGA OF AMERICA BECOME PART OF OUR FAMILY, BECOME PART OF OUR FUTURE, BECOME PART OF OUR FRISCO PD.

SO WE HAVE APPLICATIONS IN THE BACK IF ANY OF YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED.

[LAUGHTER] I THINK YOU HAVE A FUTURE IN ACTING THERE, WELL, DELIVERED.

SO, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT UNVEILING THAT AND UTILIZING THAT VIDEO IN OUR RECRUITING EFFORTS.

I ALSO WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRAG ON OUR K-9 UNIT.

YOU MENTIONED WE ARE A LITTLE BIT COMPETITIVE AS A CITY AND WE ARE WE ENJOY SETTING THE BAR AND EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT RECENTLY OUR K-9 UNIT PARTICIPATED IN A NEXT GENERATION K-9 TRAINING SEMINAR WHERE THERE WAS OVER 40 K-9 TEAMS AS PART OF THIS TRAINING AND K-9 AMIGO AND OFFICER CHANDLER WERE THE TOP OVERALL TEAM OUT OF THE 40 PLUS.

I DON'T KNOW IF-- WE'RE HERE YEAH, COME ON UP. SO WE CERTAINLY WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEM.

I'LL LET OFFICER CHANDLER BRIEFLY KIND OF TELL YOU WHAT THE TRAINING ENTAILED.

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO HIM, NOT ME.

SO THAT'S PERFECT [LAUGHTER] THIS IS MY PARTNER, AMIGO.

I'M OFFICER CHANDLER, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS CHIEF SAID, THIS PAST WEEK, WE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SEMINAR WITH OVER 40 K-9 TEAMS FROM ACROSS 9 OR 10 STATES, I BELIEVE.

SO IT WAS QUITE A PLEASURE.

WE STARTED THE WEEK OUT WITH SOME FUNDAMENTALS OF K-9 BASED ON NARCOTICS DETECTION OR EXPLOSIVE DETECTION, AS YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A MINUTE, AS WELL AS OUR APPREHENSION WORK SPECIFIC TO ABIDING, ALL THE COOL STUFF THAT EVERYBODY LIKES TO SEE.

SO WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING SELECTED AS THE BEST OVERALL TEAM FROM THE WEEK.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

[APPLAUSE] AND I'LL LET CHIEF PILAND BRAG ON HCATHEIR TEAM, THEIR EXPLOSIVE DETECTION TEAM, BUT CERTAINLY OUR K-9 UNIT HAS COME A LONG WAY.

IT'S AMAZING AND EXCEPTIONAL WHEN THEY'RE TRAINING AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

SO AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE HE WOULD RELEASE THE DOG ON ME IF I DIDN'T.

[LAUGHTER] SO, VERY PROUD OF THEM.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANKS CHIEF. COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS, COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. MOVES US TO ITEM NINE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT.

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

FIRST CARTER BLOOD.

STILL IN NEED OF BLOOD, AND I'M PROUD TO SAY ON FEBRUARY 12, 19 PINTS OF BLOOD WERE DONATED. REMEMBER, THAT WAS A REALLY COLD TIME IN OUR COMMUNITY.

FIFTY SEVEN LIVES SAVED.

SO THAT'S A GREAT THING.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OUR CITIZENS WHO CAME OUT AND DONATED.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO BATTLE OF THE BADGES IN JULY, JULY 16TH AND 17TH, BUT WE WILL RECLAIM THE TITLE OF BATTLE OF THE BADGES IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO KEEP THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR.

CARTER BLOOD IS OBVIOUSLY IN NEED OF A LOT OF BLOOD, SO WE'RE GLAD TO SUPPORT THEM AS WELL. THIS IS JACOB SAMPLE AND ELLIE; WE'LL GET TO THEM IN JUST A SECOND, LET YOU MEET JACOB. AND LET YOU MEET ELLIE, WHO'S OUR EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE K-9.

AND JACOB SAMPLE IS THEIR HANDLER.

COVID-19 VACCINES, AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, OUR VACCINE CLINIC IS STILL OPEN.

WE WILL GIVE OUT IN THE NEXT THREE DAYS, TWELVE THOUSAND VACCINATIONS THAT WILL PUT US

[00:30:04]

SO REALLY PROUD OF THAT.

OVER FORTY THOUSAND FOLKS VACCINATED.

SO WE'RE JUST REALLY PROUD OF THAT EFFORT.

THANKS TO ALL THE FOLKS IN THE CITY, OUR PERSONNEL FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT.

IT DOES TAKE A TEAM EFFORT AND IT JUST CAN'T THANK EVERYBODY ENOUGH.

AND JUST THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO GET US BACK TO WHAT WE WANT TO BE NORMAL AS FAST AS GETTING THE PUBLIC VACCINATED AND GETTING THAT HERD IMMUNITY GOING.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORTS THERE.

ONE MORE ITEM, WE MENTIONED THIS AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT OVER TWENTY SEVEN HUNDRED CALLS IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. THAT'S DOUBLE WHAT WE NORMALLY RUN.

WE COMPLETED AN AFTER ACTION REPORT ON THE WINTER STORM URI.

WE'LL FINISH THAT UP IN APRIL WITH SOME GREAT LESSONS LEARNED AND HOW TO OPERATE IN MINUS TEN DEGREE WEATHER IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO VERY DIFFICULT TIME, BUT WE LEARNED A TREMENDOUS LOT.

AND THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THE CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT HELPED IN THE U.S.

GETTING THE CITY THROUGH, WHICH WAS REALLY A VERY COLD TIME AND SOME REALLY CHALLENGES WHEN WE CAME THROUGH THERE REALLY WELL.

SO, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO LET ME BRING UP JACOB AND ELLIE.

IS CHIEF SHILSON MENTIONED THEY WERE PART OF THE COMPETITION.

THERE WERE TEN STATES THAT COMPETED TEN TEAMS AND AGAIN, AS CHIEF SHILSON SAID VERY COMPETITIVE. THEY WERE THE NUMBER ONE TEAM AND THE ONLY TEAM TO GET ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ON THE K-9 EXPLOSIVE ORDINANCE.

I'LL LET JACOB COME ON AND TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ELLIE AND WHAT HE DOES.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

LIKE CHIEF PILAND SAID, WE'RE ALSO IN THE WORKING K-9 SEMINAR LAST WEEK, SORRY SHE'S ALWAYS CONSTANTLY WORKING.

IF YOU SAW SHE WAS WORKING THIS WHOLE AISLE A SECOND AGO.

SO, YOU'RE CLEAR, NO EXPLOSIVES IN HERE.

SHE SEEMS WORRIED ABOUT COUNCILMAN WOODARD. [LAUGHTER] YEAH. SO THERE WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 10 EXPLOSIVE TEAMS AT THE SEMINAR FROM PRIVATE SECTOR TO FEDERAL TO SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

AND LIKE CHIEF SAID, WE WON BEST OVERALL.

WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM, THE EXPLOSIVE K-9 PROGRAM, ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO NOW.

AND OBVIOUSLY OUR MAIN FUNCTION WAS WORKING MAJOR EVENTS AT THE STAR.

AND WITH PGA COMING UP AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, COVID KIND OF PUT A HOLD ON US.

WE ARE ATTACHED TO THE PLANO BOMB SQUAD ALSO AS A REGIONAL ASSET.

SO WE DO COVER ABOUT, I BELIEVE, A 14 COUNTY REGION THAT LEADS ALL THE WAY UP TO TEXARKANA. WE WERE ACTUALLY IN TEXARKANA NOT TOO LONG AGO HELPING THE BOMB SQUAD WITH FBI SERVE A SEARCH WARRANT UP THERE.

SO WE STILL GET TO GO DO SOME PRETTY COOL THINGS AROUND THE REGION ANY QUESTIONS? [LAUGHTER] SHE LOVES TO WORK YEAH, YEAH, SO TO ADD ON A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT SHE DOES.

NOT ONLY DOES SHE DO STATIC DETECTION, WHICH WOULD MEAN SEARCHING A BAG OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SITTING ON THE GROUND, SHE ALSO DOES A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLEX THING OF WHAT WE CALL PERSON-BORNE DETECTION, SO SHE ACTUALLY CAN WORK THE CROWD IF SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO MOVE IN WITH A PERSON BORN IED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THROUGH A CROWD.

SHE CAN ACTUALLY PINPOINT THAT PERSON OUT OF A HUGE CROWD AND TRAIL THEM THROUGH THE CROWD. YOU MIGHT WANT TO OPEN THOSE DOORS UNDERNEATH THERE.

IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMETHING TO SNIFF, SHE'S GOING TO SNIFF IT.

SO WE THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND GETTING TO START THIS PROGRAM FOR SURE.

IT'S BEEN A IT'S BEEN A HARD JOURNEY, A LOT OF TRAINING, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING TO KEEP FRISCO SECURE.

WELL, THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOU SOFTENING UP THE CROWD WITH DOGS BEFORE WE GET INTO THE MEAT OF THE AGENDA. [LAUGHTER] COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE FOR CHIEF? CHIEF, IS THAT THE END OF YOUR REPORT? YES, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS, WE'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS. THANK YOU ALL. YES, SIR.

THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 10, THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MONTHLY REPORT.

[10. Development Services monthly activity update report for the month of February 2021.]

WE'VE HAD TWO SUBMISSIONS AND IT'S GOING REALLY WELL.

SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 11, THE VISIT FRISCO REPORT.

[11. Visit Frisco February 2021 sales and marketing reports and January 2021 metrics report.]

[00:35:04]

FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE HIT 75 PERCENT AND 80 PERCENT OCCUPANCY.

AND IT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE FRISCO BASEBALL CLASSIC.

COUNCIL MEMBER KEATING PARTICIPATED IN A MOVIE FILMING OVER AT THE STAR, WHICH GENERATED CLOSE TO A THOUSAND ROOM NIGHTS.

AND WE HAD A COUPLE OF GROUPS IN-HOUSE.

SO WHILE IT'S STILL KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER, IT'S NICE TO SEE THOSE STRONG WEEKENDS AGAIN.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANYTHING ON MY REPORT.

AND JOHN OWES YOU, WHAT, 20 BUCKS FOR THAT MENTION OF HIS MOVIE STAR ROLE? [LAUGHTER] CUP OF COFFEE.

I WOULD SAY THAT THE HOTELS ARE BEING GREAT SUPPORT FOR OUR RESIDENTS BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS, INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE HAD TO STAY IN A HOTEL IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF HOME REPAIRS THAT ARE BEING DONE FROM THE ICE STORM.

AND THE HOTELS HAVE BEEN ALL I SEE ON FACEBOOK IS THAT THEY ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO WORK WITH OUR RESIDENTS WHO ARE OUT OF THEIR HOMES RIGHT NOW.

SO I THINK, WHILE IT'S BEEN A DIFFICULT YEAR FOR OUR HOTEL INDUSTRY, HOPEFULLY THEY'RE GETTING AT LEAST A CHANCE TO KIND OF RECOUP A LITTLE BIT OF THAT WITH OUR OWN RESIDENTS AND TAKE CARE OF OUR RESIDENTS, BECAUSE ALL I SEE IS THAT THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

I'LL SHARE THAT WITH THEM. THANK YOU. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A ROOM RIGHT NOW-- WITH A KITCHEN.

WITH A KITCHEN OR A COUCH.

YEAH. OF COURSE, IT'S MARCH MADNESS.

AND WE'RE FOR THE FIRST TIME HOSTING THE NIT.

YOU WANNA TOUCH ON THAT? YEAH, SURE. THEY'RE PLAYING AT COMERICA CENTER AND UNT FOR THE FIRST ROUNDS AND THEN THERE'LL BE A BREAK IN THERE AND THEN ALL THE FINAL ROUND TO COME BACK TO COMERICA CENTER. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

IT'S A GREAT EVENT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH CONFERENCE USA.

SO NCAA WANTED THEM TO AWARDED THEM AS HOST CONFERENCE.

SO THEY'VE HAD A BUSY TWO WEEKS OR WILL HAVE A BUSY TWO WEEKS.

WILL BE FANS IN THESE GAMES OR I THINK, YES, THEY ARE SELLING SOME TICKETS.

IT'S GOING TO BE LIMITED. I WANT TO SAY MAYBE TWELVE HUNDRED AT THE MOST JUST SO THEY CAN SOCIAL DISTANCE. OK, THAT WAS A BIG WIN, SO CONGRATS.

IT WAS HUGE. COUNCIL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'LL TAKE US TO ITEM TWELVE, WHICH IS THE COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE

[12. 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.]

WHAT SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES DO YOU HAVE? SO THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AND THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE FOR MAINLY OUR RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND BASED ON SOME CONVERSATIONS FROM OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION TONIGHT, JUST THAT THERE IS PROPOSED LEGISLATION THAT WILL BE GOING FORWARD AT THE STATE LEVEL.

WE DON'T KNOW YET AT THIS POINT WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO AND HOW FAR IT WILL GO CONCERNING THE RETAIL SALE OF PETS IN MUNICIPALITIES.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING THAT AND PERHAPS WORKING ON A VERSION OF THAT WITH THEM AT THE STATE LEVEL TO THEN TRY TO DEAL WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE SEE THAT SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE BROUGHT FORWARD WITHIN OUR OWN COMMUNITY ABOUT THE RETAIL SALE OF PETS. SO STAY TUNED FOR THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVE ON THAT.

AND WE WILL BE COMING FORTH PROBABLY WITH SOME VERSIONS OF THAT, EITHER AT THE STATE LEVEL OR HERE LOCALLY.

JOHN? GOVERNANCE ALSO MET TODAY.

WE SPENT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TYING UP SOME LOOSE ENDS ON THE GOVERNANCE MONITORING FORM AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

THOSE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WE HAD A WORK SESSION ON LATE LAST YEAR.

AND BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS AND THEN THE ICE STORM AND WHATNOT, THE MEETING GOT DELAYED UNTIL TODAY AND THEN TALKING ABOUT LAYING OUT PLANS FOR REVIEWING THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS PROCESS IN THE COMING MONTHS SINCE THAT PROCESS WILL KICK OFF IN THE SUMMER.

SO WE'VE GOT A LOT GOING ON THIS YEAR FOR GOVERNANCE.

THANK YOU, BILL.

ANY OTHER UPDATES? SURE HAD AN RTC MEETING NOT A LOT TO REPORT THERE.

WE'RE JUST SEEING TRAFFIC COUNT KIND OF COME BACK AFTER COVID.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WE'RE NOT SEEING IT NECESSARILY IN THE MORNING OR THE EVENING WHEN WE ANTICIPATE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BUT MORE IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT MEANS OR [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S FOLKS LEAVING HOME LATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO GO PERHAPS LOOK FOR NEW JOBS.

SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT ALL THOSE DIFFERENT TRAFFIC COUNTS AND TRYING TO SEE WHAT THAT'S TRYING TO TELL US.

FOR [INAUDIBLE], MAYOR, YOU GAVE ME GREAT OPPORTUNITY HERE EARLIER WHEN WE HAD THE AMERICAN LEGION HERE AND TALKED ABOUT NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY.

AND I KIND OF BLEW THAT.

SO I'D LIKE TO TRY AND HAVE A SECOND BITE AT THAT APPLE AND HAVE A SECOND CHANCE HERE.

SO TWO THINGS MARCH 29TH IS OUR NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY, MARCH 29TH REPRESENTS

[00:40:02]

PERSONNEL WERE EVACUATED FROM VIETNAM.

WE DO HAVE HOSTED BY OUR FRISCO VFW POST 8273 ON MARCH TWENTY NINE AT THE EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER, A WELCOME HOME FOR OUR VIETNAM VETERANS CEREMONY.

AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY OPEN TO THE ENTIRE PUBLIC.

AND I WILL END BY SAYING THAT I THINK WHAT THE MAYOR WAS LOOKING FOR AND I STRUGGLED THROUGH THIS, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE TO THANK OUR VETERANS FOR THEIR SERVICE.

AND WHAT I THINK WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AND WHAT I LIKE TO REMIND PEOPLE IS WHEN YOU FIND A VIETNAM VETERAN, NOT ONLY THANK THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE, BUT ALSO WELCOME THEM HOME. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER UPDATES? THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION.

COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT AND MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD.

COUNCIL, YOU HAVE ITEMS THIRTEEN THROUGH TWENTY TWO FOR CONSIDERATION.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS THIRTEEN THROUGH TWENTY TWO.

MOTION BY SHONA. SECOND. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR:. AYE OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA BEFORE I GET STARTED, THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING RECENT MEETINGS, WE'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND DOING A LOT OF ORDINANCE CLEANUP.

ORDINANCES THAT ARE JUST NOT NEEDED OR SUPS THAT NEED TO BE RESCINDED THAT ARE OLD.

AND SO WE'VE BEEN USING SOME LIGHTER AGENDAS TO KNOCK SOME OF THESE OUT.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE US BLOW THROUGH THESE REALLY FAST.

SO THAT'LL TAKE US TO THE FIRST ONE, WHICH IS ITEM TWENTY THREE, A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST

[23. Public Hearing: A request to rescind Specific Use Permit (S-288) for a Self-Storage Facility and to grant a request for a Specific Use Permit for a Self-Storage Facility on a portion of one lot on 0.3± acre on the east side of Clarence Drive, 235± feet north of All Stars Avenue, and consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Planned Development-97-Commercial-2 with a Specific Use Permit (S-288) for a Self-Storage Facility. Neighborhood #11. Specific Use Case No. SUP20-0019. (Development Services/AS)]

YES, ON THIS ITEM, AND I'M ALSO GOING TOUCH BASE ON THE OTHER THREE ITEMS BECAUSE WE'RE ALL DEALING WITH THE SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY.

BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE SEPARATE ACTION ON EACH ONE OF THESE.

BUT ON THIS FIRST ONE THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED, MAYOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT WAS ISSUED AND NOW THE APPLICANT HAS COME BACK AND THEY DON'T NEED AS LARGE OF A SPACE FOR THE STORAGE.

SO THE GRAPHIC UP HERE JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY'RE DECREASING THE SPACE.

SO THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

WHAT'S ALSO IN PLAY, WHICH IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWENTY FIVE, IS AN SUP FOR A CONTRACTOR SHOP ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS PERMITTED WITH YOUR APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, BUT HAS TAKEN OVER THE SPACE THAT WAS HELD BY THE SELF-STORAGE.

ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE INCLUDED THE AUDIENCES FOR TONIGHT.

THE REASON FOR THAT, SINCE THE FEBRUARY 16TH COUNCIL MEETING WAS CANCELED, WE HAD TO RE-ADVERTISE THESE CASES.

AND NORMALLY, IF THEY HAD BEEN TAKEN ACTION ON THE 16TH, THE ORDINANCE WOULD BE ON TONIGHT. SO TO BE FAIR WITH THE APPLICANT, WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDE THE ORDINANCE AFTER SEVERAL OF THESE ITEMS TONIGHT.

SO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

[INAUDIBLE].

THAT'LL TAKE US TO ITEM THIRTY ONE. A PUBLIC HEARING.

A REQUEST TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 3.02 USE CHART SECTION 3.0201 CONDITIONAL

[31. Public Hearing: A request to amend Zoning Ordinance Section 3.02 Use Chart; Section 3.02.01, Conditional Development Standards; Subsection 4.04.08 Parking Requirements Based on Use; and Subsection 7.01 Terms and Words Defined, concerning the addition of Food Trucks uses of non-residential property with continuous and temporary operations, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. (Development Services/PC)]

CITY COUNCIL CALLED A PUBLIC HEARING ON DECEMBER 1ST 2020 TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE ADDITION OF FOOD TRUCK USE STANDARDS.

CURRENTLY, FOOD TRUCKS ARE ONLY ALLOWED WHEN ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIAL, SEASONAL OR PARKING LOT EVENTS. LIMITED OPERATIONS AT TEMPORARY SITES SUCH AS HALL OFFICE PARK AND COLLIN COLLEGE HAVE BEEN ALLOWED ON A TRIAL BASIS SO THAT STAFF COULD OBSERVE THESE OPERATIONS LOCALLY, WHICH PROVIDED FOR USEFUL INFORMATION IN DRAFTING THE ATTACHED STANDARDS.

STAFF ALSO SOUGHT INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS' INPUT TO DEVELOP THESE STANDARDS AS PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY SITES.

SO WHAT WE HAVE IS ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, WE HAVE A ZONING AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THE ZONING USE OF FOOD TRUCK COURT AND A SECOND ONE FOR TEMPORARY FOOD TRUCK SITE.

FOOD TRUCK COURTS MAY BE CREATED AS A PORTION OF THE SITE DEVELOPMENT, WITH PERMANENT FACILITIES NOT LIMITED IN TIME AND DURATION.

FOOD TRUCK TEMPORARY SITES WOULD BE ALLOWED FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS IN CONJUNCTION WITH BUSINESSES. THAT IS, THEY ALREADY HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WITH BUILDING INSPECTIONS. IT WOULD JUST BE EXTENDED AS A CONDITION TO ALLOW THAT TEMPORARY FOOD TRUCK SITE REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMITTING PARKING, SANITATION FACILITIES, SANITATION SEPARATION FROM ADJACENT USES AND OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS WOULD BE PROVIDED BY AN ADDITIONAL FOOD TRUCK VENDOR STANDARDS IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.

SO WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING WE'RE HAVING TONIGHT FOR THE AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE. AS A COMPANION, WE WOULD ALSO HAVE AN AMENDING ORDINANCE TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO ADD THE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS TO A FOOD TRUCK COURT IN A FOOD TRUCK TEMPORARY SITE. THE OPERATIONS OF FOOD TRUCKS ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIAL EVENTS OR OTHER CITY ACTIVITIES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY WOULD CONTINUE TO BE AT THE CITY'S DISCRETION AND NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ORDINANCE.

THESE ADDITIONS DO NOT APPLY AT-LARGE TO MOBILE VENDOR OPERATIONS.

AT-LARGE OPERATIONS WILL BE CONTINUED TO BE EVALUATED UNDER THE HEALTH ORDINANCE THAT WILL BE COMING THIS YEAR SOMETIME.

STAFF SENT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND PREVIOUSLY PERMITTED FOOD TRUCK VENDORS. NO COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED THAT WERE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ORDINANCE. WE ALSO ADDRESSED SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AT PREVIOUS COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS, INCLUDING BETTER DEFINING WHAT THE NET AREA OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS ARE, THE SEPARATION OF TRUCKS FROM OUTDOOR SEATING, AND A COMMENT FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RELATED TO EXCEPTIONS FOR EXTENSIONS OF TEMPORARY HOURS RELATED TO SPECTATOR EVENTS.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON FEBRUARY TWENTY THIRD AND VOTED UNANIMOUSLY FIVE ZERO TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS, AS REFLECTED IN THE ATTACHED STANDARDS, BE APPROVED.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND MOTION BY SHONA, SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR: AYE. OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, MOVE TO CLOSE. MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY SHONA.

ALL IN FAVOR: AYE.

OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WILL, OF ALL MEETINGS FOR HIM TO MISS, ISN'T HERE [LAUGHTER] HE MISSES THE ONE ABOUT FOOD TRUCKS.

BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ONE OF HIS PASSIONS TO MAKE IT EASIER IN THE CITY FOR FOOD, TRUCK COURTS AND OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS TO TAKE PLACE.

SO I KNOW STAFF WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET COMFORTABLE AND USE SOME TESTING SITES TO MAKE SURE WE'RE KEEPING THE PUBLIC SAFE AND DOING SO IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER.

SO I KNOW ALL OF COUNCIL, APPRECIATE YOUR DILIGENCE IN THE MATTER.

WITH THAT, I'LL LOOK FOR ANY COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE.

ACTUALLY, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT MAYBE YOU CAN HELP REFRESH MY MEMORY.

IF THE FOOD TRUCK IS NOT A TRUCK, BUT A TRAILER, FOR INSTANCE, A BARBECUE TRAILER, WOULD THOSE BE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ORDINANCE OR ARE THOSE COVERED UNDER SOME OTHER ORDINANCE? THEY WILL BE COVERED UNDER THE HEALTH ORDINANCE FOR THE AT-LARGE TRAILERS BECAUSE THERE ARE SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A FOOD TRUCK AND A FOOD TRAILER WITHIN FRISCO.

FOOD TRUCKS HAVE TO GO BACK TO A COMMISSARY EVERY NIGHT AND BE SERVICED AND ALSO RECEIVE

[00:55:06]

SO IT'S MORE REGULATED.

THE FOOD TRAILERS ARE LESS REGULATED AND WOULD BE ADDRESSED DIRECTLY UNDER THE FOOD TRUCK EXCUSE ME, THE HEALTH ORDINANCE WHEN THAT COMES ABOUT.

OK, SO A MORE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE.

IF THE RAIL YARD, FOR INSTANCE, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET, WANTED TO BRING IN A TRAILER OF SOME SORT THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE UPCOMING ORDINANCE, THEN? THAT'S CORRECT. OK, AND I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOWING THOSE ON A ON A LIMITED TEMPORARY BASIS. WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS? IS THERE EVER A SCENARIO LIKE ON THE EXAMPLE ON THE RIGHT WHERE THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED OR INFORMED, OR IS THAT NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN? NO, WITH THIS ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, IT WOULD BE ALLOWED, BUT WITH CERTAIN PERMITS AND APPROVALS WITHOUT ANY ADJACENT CONSENT.

WE DID HAVE THAT ONE AMENDMENT THAT YOU REQUIRED FOR PATIO SEATING ON RESTAURANTS.

AND WHAT WE HAD DETERMINED THAT WE WOULD NEED EITHER THE CONSENT OF THE ADJACENT RESTAURANT PATIO OWNER OR SEPARATION OF 20 FEET.

I KNOW, TIM NELSON WAS A BIG ADVOCATE OF FOOD TRUCKS AS WELL AS [INAUDIBLE], AND WE ALWAYS ASK, YOU KNOW, HOW DOES THIS IMPACT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS IF A RESIDENT OF A HOA OR A COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD WANT TO HAVE THEIR OWN FOOD TRUCK COME IN FOR AN EVENT? THIS DOESN'T IMPACT THAT DECISION? THE SCOPE OF THIS ORDINANCE IS NOT RESIDENTIAL AT THIS TIME.

WE'RE GOING TO EVALUATE THOSE UNDER THE HEALTH ORDINANCE AND MORE AT-LARGE TYPE PERMITTING IF THAT MOVES FORWARD.

BUT IT'S ALLOWED NOW. WE CAN DO IT NOW.

IF A HOA HAS A REQUEST FOR A FOOD TRUCK, A PRIVATE EVENT THAT RESIDENTS ARE COMING TO BEING, AND IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, IT'S NOT REGULATED AND LIKELY WOULD NOT BE IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S LIKE HAVING A CATERING PARTY OR A WEDDING.

WE'RE NOT ISSUING HEALTH PERMITS FOR THOSE ACTIONS.

WHENEVER WE DO THIS, THE FACEBOOK BLOWS UP THAT NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, COUNCIL TOOK AWAY OUR CHANCE TO HAVE OUR HOA THING AND THAT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

RIGHT, IT'S NOT APPLICABLE. AND WE'VE ADDED MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOOD TRUCKS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE DONE.

KUDOS TO STAFF FOR GETTING THIS DONE.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

YEAH, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY THAT FRISCO'S SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES TOO.

SO THIS IS GOOD TO HEAR.

AND I'M A BIG FAN OF FOOD TRUCKS.

OUR HOA, I'M IN WATERSTONE ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF FRISCO.

AND WE NOW HAVE A FOOD TRUCK EVERY WEEK THAT COMES TO OUR COMMON AREA THERE IN OUR HOA AND IT'S A BIG HIT. COUNCIL, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 31

[32. Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2020-09-60 adopting the City of Frisco Fiscal Year 2021 Budget. (Financial Services/JH)]

ALL IN FAVOR: AYE. OPPOSE.

THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0 WHICH WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 32.

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2020-09-60 ADOPTING THE CITY OF FRISCO FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET.

YES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS OUR THIRD BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FY 2021.

WE MET WITH BUDGET AND AUDIT ON MARCH 2ND AND DISCUSSED THAT WERE GOING TO DO THIS.

IT'S BASICALLY SINCE WE HAD TO CANCEL THE ELECTION IN MAY, WE HAD A NOVEMBER ELECTION AND THEN WE HAD A DECEMBER RUNOFF AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A MAY ELECTION.

AND USUALLY WE ONLY HAVE ONE ELECTION A YEAR.

SO WE HAD TO ADD SOME MONEY FOR THAT.

WE ACTUALLY TOOK AWAY THE CARES CREDIT THAT WE GOT FROM COLLIN COUNTY IN DECEMBER, THE EXTRA MONEY WE GOT AND THAT WAS FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.

SO WE REDUCED THE BUDGET FOR THAT.

AND THEN WE'RE GIVING STREETS AND PARKS ABOUT NINE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR SOME REPAIRS THAT THEY NEEDED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINTER STORM.

SO WITH THESE CHANGES, IT'LL BRING OUR NEW GENERAL FUND IS JUST IN THE GENERAL FUND, IT WILL BRING OUR NEW GENERAL FUND REVISED EXPENDITURES TO ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SIX MILLION SIX SEVENTY SEVEN AND WE'RE STILL MAINTAINING AROUND A THIRTY NINE PERCENT FUND BALANCE BUDGETED WITHIN OUR POLICIES.

AND I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND IT'S JUST THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE IS THE ACTION WE NEED TONIGHT.

IF I RECALL CORRECTLY FROM THAT MEETING, THERE WAS SOME FUNDS THAT I'M GOING TO USE THE WRONG TERM HERE, BECAUSE IT JUST COMPLETELY SLIPPED MY MIND.

BUT SOME UNALLOCATED FUNDS THAT WERE LEFT OVER.

AND I THINK OUR DISCUSSION WAS AT THE TIME THAT WE WOULD LET THOSE FUNDS BE WHERE THEY ARE AND SEE HOW THE BUDGET PROGRESSES THROUGH THE REST OF THE YEAR AND THEN MAKE A DETERMINATION LATER ON IN THE YEAR AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE WANTED TO MOVE THEM TO THE CAPITAL RESERVE FUND OR NOT.

[01:00:01]

IT'S UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE, UNALLOCATED, UNASSIGNED.

AND, YES, THEY MADE THE DECISION TO NOT BRING A RECOMMENDATION FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

WE JUST KIND OF NEED TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

THE OTHER THING I NOTED, AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN THE REPORT FROM EARLIER, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE OF THE ITEMS IT WAS IN, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SALES TAX AND HOW FAR DOWN WE ARE.

BUT ACTUALLY, IF YOU SAW THE REPORT THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ABOVE WHERE WERE CERTAINLY LAST YEAR AT THIS POINT, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY AHEAD OF WHERE WERE THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS AS WELL. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN SOME GROWTH IN THAT.

AND IT'S FOLLOWED THE TYPICAL PATTERN THAT IT DOES THROUGH THE YEAR.

BUT WE'RE STILL AHEAD.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S GOOD FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR SALES IN RETAIL ARE HOLDING STRONG EVEN THOUGH WE'VE COME THROUGH COVID AND THEY'RE THEY'RE HOLDING STRONG. SO KUDOS TO OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR DOING THAT.

AND KUDOS FOR OUR RESIDENTS FOR CONTINUING TO BUY IN OUR RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS.

SO KEEP ORDERING ONLINE AND GO TO THE MALL.

THAT'S OUR PLUG.

SALES TAX, WE GOT OUR MARCH COLLECTIONS THIS WEEK AND THEY WERE UP FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH NOW I DID WARN WE TALKED ABOUT IT, I THINK AT THE BUDGET AND AUDIT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WE HAD DOUBLE DIGIT DECREASES LAST YEAR.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO REALLY LOOK AT THAT AND ADJUST FOR THAT.

WE'LL PROBABLY COMPARE TO TWENTY EIGHTEEN, BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T BE A FAIR ASSESSMENT TO SAY, OH, WE HAD A TWENTY PERCENT INCREASE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'LL BE, BUT WE DON'T EXPECT IT TO DO ANYTHING BUT CONTINUE TO BE AS IT HAS BEEN.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 32. SECOND. MOTION BY SHONA, SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR: AYE OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT'LL TAKE US TO ITEM THIRTY THREE CONSIDER AND ACT UPON APPROVAL AUTHORIZING THE CITY

[33. Consider and act upon approval authorizing the City Manager to execute a Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment with Thos. S. Byrne, Inc., d/b/a Byrne Construction Services, for the Frisco Public Library adaptive reuse construction project. (CMO/DF)]

DOING BUSINESS AS BYRNE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE FRISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY ADAPTIVE REUSE CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TYPICALLY WE TAKE GMP'S THAT GUARANTEE MAXIMUM MAXIMUM PRICE ON CONSENT.

BUT WE WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS PROJECT WHERE WE ARE IN THIS PROJECT.

IF YOU RECALL, WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING IS AN APPROVAL OF THIS GMP FOR CONSTRUCTION WITH THOMAS S. BYRNE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING LOCATED AT THE BEAL BUILDING. IF YOU RECALL, ABOUT TWENTY EIGHTEEN SUMMER WORK SESSION.

WE CAME TO YOU WITH THE IDEA.

WE HAD A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND WE CAME BACK WITH THE IDEA OF PUTTING THIS LIBRARY IN THE [INAUDIBLE] WAREHOUSE BUILDING. AND SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF THAT AND THE EFFICIENCIES THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY GAIN.

AND YOU GUYS APPROVED THAT AND GAVE US THE GREEN LIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

AND WE HAD TO BUY AND SELL.

AND WE STARTED THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PHASE IN THE FALL OF TWENTY NINETEEN AND WE LOST A FEW MONTHS DUE TO COVID.

BUT WE'RE AT THE PHASE NOW WHERE YOU'VE SEEN THE RENDERINGS THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

GOING TO SEE IF I HAVE HERE--SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO START THIS PRESENTATION WITH THIS PICTURE AS YOU KNOW.

[LAUGHTER] IT WILL BE TRADITION. SO OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 15 MONTHS, YOU'LL SEE THIS PICTURE A LOT. BUT THE IDEA IS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS WE HAVE WE PUT TOGETHER WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST ARCHITECTURAL TEAM THAT WE HAVE THAT WE COULD.

AND NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ON WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

AND WE HAVE WITH US SOME INDIVIDUALS FROM BYRNE CONSTRUCTION AND HLM, WHICH WE CAN INTRODUCE THEM IN A MOMENT.

BUT WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE PUT TOGETHER A GREAT TEAM AND THAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT WE CAN HAVE THIS APPROVED AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE PROJECT.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE ANTICIPATE.

AND ALSO SHELLEY HOLLEY, OUR LIBRARY DIRECTOR, IS HERE AS WELL, IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS TRANSFORMATION, CERTAINLY.

AND SPEAKING OF LIBRARY PROJECTS, I DID WANT TO TAKE A QUICK MINUTE TO NOTE THAT WE OPENED THE SATELLITE OFFICE AT STONEBRIAR MALL AT THE RIBBON CUTTING TODAY, WHICH IS A LOCATION... THANK YOU.

THAT IS A CHILDREN'S COLLECTION AT STONEBRIAR MALL.

SO THE MOON FAMILY WHO DID THE HYATT HOTEL THERE AT THE MALL, THEY GAVE THE CITY A VERY ATTRACTIVE LEASE RATE FOR THE SPACE, WHICH IS A DOLLAR A YEAR FOR US TO HAVE A CHILDREN'S COLLECTION THERE. BUT IT IS ALSO WHERE WE DO OUR PASSPORTS OR PASSPORTS.

SO, OUR PASSPORT CENTER WILL BE THERE. SO I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE HIT, HAVE THAT PROGRAMING. SO IF YOU'RE AT THE MALL, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY AND SEE THEIR WORK.

BUT WITH THAT COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE LIBRARY? GIVE A TIMELINE SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, AS FAR AS WHEN WE'RE OPENING THE DOORS.

AND I CAN INTRODUCE OUR INDIVIDUALS.

THIS IS MARTIN LEHMAN, NORTH TEXAS PRESIDENT WITH THOMAS S.

BYRNE..

J.R. EVANS WILL BE OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER FOR THE JOB AND THEN NICK LINK WITH HLM

[01:05:04]

WE ANTICIPATE ABOUT A 15 MONTH PROJECT FOR THIS BUILD, KNOWING THAT TOWARDS THE END OF THAT WE STILL WOULD HAVE A FOUR TO SIX WEEK MOVING PROCESS TO MOVE EVERYTHING FROM THIS LIBRARY OVER TO THE NEW LIBRARY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AUGUST OF THAT YEAR 2022.

I'M JUST LOOKING REALLY FORWARD TO THIS, BECAUSE I WENT ON TO SOME OF THOSE FIRST TRIPS THAT WE DID TO GO AND SEEK INFORMATION FROM OTHER LIBRARIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND JUST WHAT THOSE LOOK LIKE. SO BACK FROM THOSE ORIGINAL VISITS, WAY BACK WHEN TO KIND OF THIS POINT RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THESE THINGS COMING TO FRUITION.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING TO SEE THAT HERE.

YES. IT'S BEEN, WOULD SAY ABOUT A FOUR YEAR PROJECT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TO LOOKING AT WHETHER OR NOT WERE GOING TO EXPAND THIS BUILDING TO ACTUALLY VIEWING SOME OTHER LIBRARIES AROUND THE COUNTRY, REALLY.

AND WE DO FEEL THAT WHAT YOU HAVE HERE WILL BE ONE, STATE OF THE ART, TWO, IT WILL REPRESENT FRISCO, FOR SURE, BUT IT WILL ALSO MEET THE NEEDS OF A GROWING FRISCO AS WELL.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

COUNCIL, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM THIRTY THREE.

MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY SHONA.

ALL IN FAVOR: AYE. OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.
