YOU KNOW, WE'VE SUPPORTED, YOU KNOW, ALL OF HIS IDEAS. YOU KNOW, ONE, WHEN DRIVE AI CAME TO OUR COMMUNITY. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN ANECDOTAL STORY, THEY WERE TRYING TO GET PERMISSION IN CALIFORNIA. THEY WERE CALIFORNIA BASED COMPANY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING PERMISSION TO GO ON THE ROADS OF CALIFORNIA FOR YEARS AND THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE YEARS AWAY. I MET WITH THEM AT COWBOYS CLUB BECAUSE THEY HEARD OF FRISCO'S REPUTATION AS BEING INNOVATIVE AND WILLING TO TRY NEW THINGS. AND I BELIEVE I MAY BE SLIGHTLY EXAGGERATING, BUT I DON'T THINK BY MUCH THAT LIKE THREE WEEKS LATER, THEY WERE ON OUR ROADS IN FRISCO. AND SO WE HAVE STARTED TO BECOME KNOWN AS A CITY THAT'S WILLING TO THIS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY BAD WORD, BE BETA TESTERS. BUT SO FAR IT'S GONE WELL, AND WE LIKE THAT REPUTATION AND JUST VERY PROUD OF ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. SO, BRIAN, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. GREAT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO BEGIN FIRST BY THANKING EVERYONE FOR ALL THE SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS. THANK GOD FOR BRINGING OUR FAMILY HERE AND ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT HE'S PROVIDED US. YOU KNOW WE MOVED TO FRISCO IN 1996. WE WERE HERE FIVE YEARS BEFORE I STARTED WORKING HERE. BUT JUST REMEMBER, WHEN WE CAME, WASN'T THERE WAS THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN FRISCO, BUT WE ALWAYS WANTED OUR FIRST CHANCE WAS GOING TO TRY TO MOVE BACK HOME. AND, YOU KNOW, HERE WE ARE TWENTY SIX YEARS LATER, I WANT TO THANK MY WIFE, CHRIS HAS BEEN MY BIGGEST CHEERLEADER. YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN TOUGH DAYS. AND WHEN YOU GET HOME TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SUPPORT THAT SHE'S PROVIDED ME AND TO CHEER ON DURING THOSE GOOD DAYS AND CELEBRATE THE GOOD TIMES AS WELL. I WANT TO THANK MY KIDS. THEY'VE ALL GROWN UP HERE IN FRISCO, GOT ONE ON THE EAST COAST, [00:15:03] ONE ON THE WEST COAST NOW AND ONE HERE IN TOWN. YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S KIDS. THEY GO AROUND AND THE THINGS THEY SEE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. AND IT'S LIKE, WELL, WE DIDN'T DO THAT. OR SO IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT THEY APPRECIATE THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO AROUND HERE AND SEE THAT. I WANNA THANK MY MOM AND DAD, I KNOW THEY'RE WATCHING TONIGHT ONLINE, COULDN'T BE HERE IN PERSON. JUST, YOU KNOW, THE UPBRINGING THAT WE'VE HAD TO GET HERE AND JUST ALL THEIR SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS. MY BROTHER AND HIS FAMILY, YOU KNOW, AND WHOEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWO KIDS IN THE MIDDLE OF NEBRASKA GROWING UP 20 SOME YEARS LATER WOULD BE 700 MILES FROM HOME IN THE SAME COMMUNITY, WORKING TO TRY AND DO THINGS AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER REALLY THOUGHT OF. WANT TO THANK GEORGE, HIS LEADERSHIP AND THINGS THAT HE'S DONE AND ALWAYS SUPPORTED US, AND YOU KNOW, GET A STORY. IT'S FUNNY THING WHEN WHENEVER THE ENGINEERS AND WE GO MEET UP IN GEORGE'S OFFICE, WHEN HE TELLS YOU I'M NO ENGINEER, BUT IT'S LIKE YOU MISSED SOMETHING THAT WAS PROBABLY PRETTY THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT. BUT HE'S ALWAYS SUPPORTED US, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK HIS LEADERSHIP AND CONSISTENCY SPEAKS TO YOU. GO AROUND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN NORTH TEXAS AND EVEN ELSEWHERE, AND YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE DEPARTMENTS AND THE COHESIVENESS THAT WE HAVE AND HOW WE ALL WORK TOGETHER. CHIEF STEPHENS AND CHIEF SHILSON, WHEN WE WERE TALKING HERE BEFORE THE MEETING, YOU KNOW, THOSE THINGS THAT COME ABOUT, YOU JUST DON'T SEE THOSE THINGS HAPPEN. IT'S NOT BY ACCIDENT. I WANT TO THANK PAUL WHERE IS, OVER THERE,[INAUDIBLE]. I'M SURE HE'S LEARNED MORE ABOUT TRAFFIC ENGINEERING THAN HE'S EVER DREAMT WHEN HE CAME HERE TO START THIS JOB. BUT HE DOES REALLY WELL. IN WORKING WITH US. I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR, YOU AND COUNCIL FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THESE YEARS. AND WE TALK AS A STAFF THAT, YOU KNOW, TALK TO THEM, THAT YOU JUST YOU KNOW, WE HAVE COUNCIL'S TRUST AND THE RESIDENTS TRUST AND WE HAVE TO WORK ALWAYS KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE CAN'T LOSE THAT, BECAUSE ONCE YOU DO, YOU PROBABLY WON'T GET IT BACK IF EVER, BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. SO IT'S ALWAYS TOP OF MIND, YOU KNOW, JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF MY STAFF AND THE SUPPORT. [INAUDIBLE] AND I'VE BEEN TOGETHER AT THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS NOW WORKING TOGETHER, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, CONSULTING AND HERE. KNOWING EACH OTHER NEARLY 30 YEARS AND WORKING TOGETHER 20 SOMETHING YEARS THAT ENTIRE TIME. AND THEN SPECIAL CALL OUT TRACY NICHOLS, THE FIRST PERSON THAT I HIRED HERE, HE GETS HIS 20 YEARS NEXT YEAR, I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING. AND WE HAD LOTS OF DAYS WHERE WE DREAM ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE COULD DO AND GET THIS TO BECOME. AND IT'S WE'VE EXCEEDED THAT BY FAR. SO I'VE JUST BEEN BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH ALL THAT AND JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE IN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS AND ESPECIALLY ON MY STAFF, EVERYBODY WHO WORKS WITH US IN OUR DEPARTMENT. IT'S BEEN A GREAT RIDE AND I HOPE IT CONTINUES. SO WHILE I HAVE YOU, CAN I ASK YOU ABOUT THE LIGHT AT [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE MY WIFE USED TO COMPLAIN TO ME ABOUT THAT LIGHT EVERY DAY AND I WOULD ALWAYS TEXT BRIAN OR EMAIL BRIAN, AND IT'S LIKE IT'S WORKING EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED. YOUR WIFE JUST NEEDS TO BE PATIENT THERE. BUT THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, FRISCO IS VERY FORWARD LOOKING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRANSPORTATION. WE TALKED ABOUT DRIVE AI. WHAT WERE THE LITTLE ROBOTS THAT WE HAD ON THE ROADS FOR A WHILE THAT WAS DELIVERING FOOD ? STARSHIP, THOSE LITTLE THINGS. IF YOU LIVED IN WEST FRISCO OR THE FEDEX ROBOTS TO BEING THE FIRST COMMUNITY THAT'S GOING TO BE TESTING OUT UBER ELEVATE AND WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR STOPLIGHTS. I MEAN, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. WE'RE PLANNING TRANSPORTATION FOR THE FUTURE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF BRIAN, HIS LEADERSHIP. AND SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LEAVING US IN GOOD HANDS FOR TRANSPORTATION. LET'S GIVE HIM ONE MORE ROUND OF APPLAUSE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO OUR REPORT, SECTION ITEM SIX IS THE FINANCIAL SERVICES MARCH [6. Financial Services Department Budget Status Report for March 2021.] REPORTS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS IS THE SIXTH MONTH OF OUR FINANCIAL YEAR ALREADY. TIME FLIES. WE JUST RECEIVED OUR FIRST DEPARTMENT BUDGET SUBMITTALS LAST WEEK FROM THE SMALLER DEPARTMENTS. SO WE'RE GEARING IT TO DO FY TWENTY TWO BUDGET DEVELOPMENT. I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR MONTH END REPORT. EVERYTHING'S TRACKING AS PROJECTED. [00:20:01] SALES TAX WAS A LITTLE BIT LOW THIS LAST TIME. LIKE BY LESS, YOU KNOW, IS 0.18 PERCENT. SO WE'RE STILL A LITTLE OVER SIX AND A HALF PERCENT FOR THE YEAR, WHICH IS VERY, VERY POSITIVE. BUT NOW THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY EXPLAIN THE NUMBERS, BECAUSE LAST YEAR WHEN IT WENT DOWN SO. TONIGHT I HOPE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE FISCAL ARTS ASSOCIATION REPORT. I KNOW IT WAS A LONG REPORT. THERE WERE SOME SUMMARY PAGES THERE, JEN'S HERE TONIGHT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER, IF YOU WANT HER TO PRESENT ANYTHING, I KNOW THAT WAS A REQUIREMENT THAT WE DID BACK IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER WHEN YOU APPROVED THEIR FUNDING AND THEY'VE DONE THEIR REPORTING. WE'VE ACTUALLY PROCESSED THEIR PAYMENT FOR THIS YEAR AND THEY'VE RECEIVED IT. SO THEY DID HAVE A SUMMARY PAGE IN THERE, MR. WOODARD, THAT TOLD YOU THAT MOST ALL OF THEIR EVENTS WERE IN FRISCO THIS YEAR. AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU ASKED FOR. SO THAT'S LIKE ON PAGE THREE, FOUR OF THE RECAP. SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD REPORT. IT'S LONG, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED THAT INFORMATION. SO I JUST WENT AHEAD AND SHARED IT WITH YOU AS WELL. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER, FOR ME. COUNCIL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR [INAUDIBLE]? THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU. THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM SEVEN, WHICH IS THE POLICE REPORT FOR MARCH. [7. Police Department's crime statistics and response times for the month of March 2021.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'LL START BY JUST EXPRESSING MY THANKS TO BRIAN MOEN AS WELL FOR HIS 20 YEARS OF SERVICE. HE'S BEEN A CHAMPION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AS WELL. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SHARE WITH PEOPLE IS HE HELPED SECURE THE FUNDING FOR OUR CLOSEST TWO DISPATCHING GRANT, WHICH HAS IMPROVED OUR RESPONSE TIMES SINCE WE'VE IMPLEMENTED IT. SO KUDOS TO BRIAN, WE'RE THANKFUL FOR HIS SERVICE. I'LL START WITH JUST KIND OF SOME UPDATES RELATED TO FOUR TWENTY THREE. I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FATALITY CRASH THAT WE HAD, AND I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO OUTLINE SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN RESPONSE TO THAT. SO PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO TRYING ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE CHARGED THE TWO SUSPECTS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THAT FATALITY CRASH WITH TWO COUNTS OF MANSLAUGHTER EACH. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL OFFICERS OUT THERE WORKING EXTRA HOURS JUST SOLELY FOCUSED ON THAT PARTICULAR AREA. WE'VE HAD OUR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT UNIT OUT THERE BECAUSE TRUCK TRAFFIC IS HIGH ON THAT ROAD AS WELL. AND SO COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES CERTAINLY POSE A DANGER TO THE MOTORING PUBLIC AS WELL. THE SPEED WARD THAT WE PUT OUT THERE CAPTURES INFORMATION FOR US TO ANALYZE AND LOOK AT KIND OF WHAT IMPACT WE'RE HAVING AND WHEN WE MIGHT WANT TO PUT OFFICERS OUT THERE AND WHEN OUR PROBLEM TIMES ARE. AND THEN TXDOT HAS CORRECTED THE SPEED LIMIT SIGNAGE, THANKFUL TO ENGINEERING FOR HELPING FACILITATE THAT DOWN TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THE CRASH DATA THAT YOU KNOW NOT JUST FOR THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION, BUT ALONG THAT WHOLE CORRIDOR. THIS IS JUST SOME NUMBERS AS OF FRIDAY RELATED TO OUR ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS THERE. YOU CAN SEE WE'VE DEDICATED QUITE A BIT OF RESOURCES AND, YOU KNOW, FOCUSED ON FOUR TWENTY THREE AND THE SPEED. SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, I KNOW THE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE GET IS ABOUT THE FLASHING TURN ARROW. YEAH, I THINK I WOULD DEFER TO THE ENGINEERS ON THAT, BUT THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE ALWAYS DIALOG WITH THEM ON. WE CERTAINLY WANT TO DIG INTO, YOU KNOW, VOLUMES OF TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC THAT MOVES THROUGH THERE VERSUS THE THE NUMBER OF CRASHES THAT WE HAVE. SO I WOULD DEFER TO ENGINEERS ON THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY DO LOOK AT THAT. WHEN YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE ARRESTED, THEY WERE SPEEDING EXCESSIVELY. ROAD RACING. YES SIR. IS RACING A BROADER ISSUE IN THE CITY THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT OR TACKLING? OR MAYBE YOU GUYS ARE AND COULD YOU PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND ON WHAT WE'RE DOING IN REGARDS TO THAT? YEAH. SO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO DO IF THEY IF THEY BELIEVE THAT [00:25:01] RACING IS GOING ON, CERTAINLY REPORT IT TO US SO WE CAN DISPATCH OFFICERS TO LOOK INTO IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S ONE OF THOSE FRUSTRATING PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE WHERE THE VEHICLES CAN BE GONE BY THE TIME WE GET THERE. BUT WE HAVE BEEN GETTING REPORTS OF RACING AND WE'RE NOT JUST FOCUSING ON THAT ISSUE ON THIS ROADWAY. WE ARE LOOKING AT WHERE WE'RE GETTING OTHER COMPLAINTS AS WELL. WE'RE INCREASING OUR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. WE HAD A COVID PERIOD THIS PAST YEAR. AND SO TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PUT OUR OFFICERS AT RISK. AND SO IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE JUST HAD TO SET ASIDE EXCEPT FOR THOSE MORE SERIOUS VIOLATIONS. SO I THINK WE'RE NOW WITH VACCINATIONS AND MORE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE ARE WITH COVID. AND WE'LL CERTAINLY BE FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS ON TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND PUTTING IT HIGH ON THE PRIORITY LIST AS WELL. SO, CHIEF, I HAPPEN TO LIVE AT 423 AND LEBANON AND MY COMMUNITY HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LOSS OF THOSE LIVES. AND WE HAVE REALLY NOTICED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INCREASED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE COMMUNITY FEELS IT AND THEY WANTED ME TO COMMEND YOU PUBLICLY TONIGHT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PD'S HARD WORK AND DOING THAT. THANK YOU, SIR. WITH THAT, I'LL JUST MAKE MENTION OF SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS RECOGNITION THAT WE GOT THIS PAST WEEK AS THE SAFEST CITY IN TEXAS AND SECOND SAFEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. AND I'LL JUST SAY THAT I'LL GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO THE GREAT PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE WORKING IN OUR DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE GREAT CITIZENS HERE THAT ARE VERY ENGAGED IN HELPING KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE, WHICH IS CERTAINLY MUCH APPRECIATED AND HELPFUL TO US. AND THEN I APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT FROM COUNCIL AND OUR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE IN HELPING HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO OUR JOBS AS WELL. AND WITH THAT, YOU HAVE THE MARCH MONTHLY REPORT. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? THANK YOU, CHIEF. COUNCIL, ARE THERE QUESTIONS? OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM EIGHT, WHICH IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT. [8. Fire Department monthly report on incident responses and educational activities for the month of March 2021.] GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JUST TO ECHO CHIEF SHILSON'S COMMENTS ON BRYAN, THAT CLOSE TO DISPATCH, OBVIOUSLY, FOR FIRE AND RESCUE MEANT A WHOLE LOT, THAT PROJECT HE WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE GRANT FOR THAT. AND WE LEARNED THIS WEEK THAT THERE COULD EVEN BE SOME ENHANCEMENTS TO THAT. SO THAT'LL BE FORTHCOMING POSSIBLY AS TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. SO I THINK IT GOES TO SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT RESTING ON THAT PROGRAM OR LOOKING TO EVEN MAKE IT BETTER. SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. SO THE CLOSEST UNITS, BOTH PUBLIC SAFETY, GET TO THE CALLS. SO THAT SAVES THE LAST SECOND. SO WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS OF OUR CITIZENS. A COUPLE OF QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS. WE HAD AN APPRECIATION DAY AT MEDICAL CITY FRISCO HELPING THEM DURING THE STORM. THEY HAD SEVERAL CHALLENGES DURING THE WINTER STORM THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THEM THROUGH. SO THEY HAD LITTLE APPRECIATION FOR US OUT FRONT. SO WE THANK THEM FOR RECOGNIZING OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND THOSE FOLKS THAT HELPED THEM THERE . SAFETY TOWN. HAPPY TO REPORT WILL BE OPEN THIS SUMMER FOR PROGRAMS. LOOK FOR THE WEBSITE AND WE'LL MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON WHAT PROGRAMS THOSE ARE GOING TO BE. SAFETY TOWN IS READY TO GO AND WE'LL HAVE PROGRAMS THAT'LL BE SAFE FOR ALL ADULTS AND CHILDREN WHEN THEY COME TO THE VILLAGE. WE LIKE TO WELCOME A NEW SPONSOR. AGAIN, THIS IS SAFETY TOWN WHICH IS PRESENTED BY OUR TITLE SPONSOR, WHICH IS TEXAS HEALTH HOSPITAL FRISCO. AS OUR TITLE SPONSOR, WE HAVE OTHER SPONSORS IN THE VILLAGE. YOU CAN SEE MARKET STREET IS OUR NEWEST ONE. SO WELCOME MARKET STREET TO SAFETY TOWN AND LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE PROGRAMS AS WE ANNOUNCE MENT IS COMING UP THIS SUMMER. A LOT OF BIKES AND JEEPS THAT NEED TO BE RIDDEN AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THOSE OUT THERE AND GETTING THOSE GOING. A LOT OF QUESTIONS AFTER SEVERE WEATHER. WE'VE HAD RECENTLY WATCH WARNINGS, SIRENS GOING OFF. OBVIOUSLY, WE ASK PEOPLE TO TUNE INTO THEIR WEATHER. A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK ON THEIR PHONES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. WE ALWAYS ADVOCATE CODE RED, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR CODE RED. YOU CAN PUT YOUR ADDRESS IN, YOU CAN NOTIFY A VARIETY OF WAYS OF INCLEMENT WEATHER THAT'S COMING YOUR WAY IN REAL TIME, WHICH IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. WATCH AND WARNINGS, OBVIOUSLY, WITH WATCHES AS THE SLIDE TALKS ABOUT YOU JUST GET PREPARE YOURSELF, KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE OUT AND JUST ANTICIPATE THAT THINGS WILL GET WORSE WHEN YOU GET A WARNING. THAT IS THE TIME TO SEEK SHELTER. LOOKING FOR THEIR INFORMATION ON THE TELEVISION OR YOUR PHONE OR RADIO, WHAT HAVE YOU, AND THEN CHECK FOR LOCAL FORECAST, WHETHER IT'S A PATH OF A STORM MIGHT BE COMING YOUR WAY, COULD BE HAIL. WE HAVE A LOT OF REPORTS LAST WEEK OF LARGE HAIL. FORTUNATELY, WE ARE ABLE TO BE OUT OF THE PATH OF THAT, BUT PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO [00:30:01] WATCHES AND WARNINGS. OUR SIRENS WHEN THEY GO OFF. GET THIS QUESTION A LOT, TOO. IS THERE OUTDOOR WARNING SIRENS? THERE ARE NOT TORNADO SIRENS AND SOME PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THOSE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THAT'S NOT WHAT THESE ARE. THEY ARE TO WARN YOU, IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE TO TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. NOW, YOU MAY HEAR THEM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE, AT TIMES THE WAY SOUND TRAVELS. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE IN YOUR HOME ONE NIGHT THE WEATHER WAS RIGHT. YOU DO HEAR THE SOUND, MAYBE OTHER TIMES YOU DON'T. DON'T BE ALARMED AT THAT. AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT DESIGNED TO WARN YOU IN YOUR HOME IF YOU'RE IN YOUR HOME, YOUR SAFE SPOT THEY'RE TO WARN PEOPLE THAT ARE OUTSIDE. WE HAVE A LOT OF OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, A LOT OF PARKS, A LOT OF GAMES, A LOT OF THINGS ARE OUTSIDE. SO WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW IF IMPENDING WEATHER IS COMING, IF THEY'RE OUTSIDE TO TAKE SHELTER. SO JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT. VACCINATION UPDATE. AS MANY OF YOU SAW, WE WERE SHUTTING DOWN THE VACCINATION SITE FOR NOW. IT'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. SIXTY NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE VACCINATIONS WERE GIVEN AT OUR LOCATION. WE HAD SEVERAL HUNDRED MORE THAT WE DID IN SEVERAL FACILITIES HERE IN OUR CITY WORKING WITH SOME MEMORY CARE CENTERS AND SOME ALSO LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES. SO JUST A TEAM EFFORT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WHOLE CITY. SOMETHING TO BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF, I THINK AT THE TIME THAT THIS VACCINE CLINIC KICKED OFF, WE WERE IN SOME REALLY DIRE CONDITIONS HERE IN TERMS OF THE SPREAD OF COVID AND WHAT IT WAS DOING TO OUR NOT JUST OUR COMMUNITY, BUT THE WHOLE STATE OF THE NATION. AND I REALLY THINK THAT WE PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN HELPING US GET BACK TO NORMAL. EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER YOU DEFINE THAT. AND I CAN TRULY SAY THAT I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. WE TOOK CARE OF HIGH RISK POPULATIONS, THE 1A, WHICH ARE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, THAT 1BS AND 1CS, WHICH ARE AT RISK POPULATIONS IN TERMS OF HEALTH AND DISEASE PROCESSES. SO JUST HATS OFF TO EVERYBODY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THAT. YOU CAN SEE THAT WAS OUR LAST SHOT THAT PARTICULAR DAY AND YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS THERE. SO JUST AGAIN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT THAT EVERYBODY GAVE TO THE CLINIC. JUST REALLY PROUD OF THOSE EFFORTS. AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU, CHIEF FOR THAT UPDATE. COUNCIL ANY THE OTHER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. THANK YOU, SIR. AND I'LL MOVE US TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MONTHLY [9. Development Services monthly activity update report for the month of March 2021.] REPORT. AS I MENTIONED LAST MONTH, OR ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW CONTINUES TO GO VERY WELL AND SO. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT FOR THAT. SECOND ON THE HOUSING SUPPLY, AS NOTED ON PAGE TWO, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN SUCH A TIGHT HOUSING MARKET IN ANY CITY THAT I'VE WORKED IN. SO WE HAVE LIKE ABOUT A 10 MONTH SUPPLY OF LOT INVENTORY. GENERALLY, TWENTY FOUR MONTHS IS EQUILIBRIUM AND THEN ONCE YOU LOCK IN THE LOT IN THE PIPELINE. AND THOSE ARE LOTS THAT'S NOT READY TO BE PERMITTED. YEP. IF YOU ADD THOSE TWO TOGETHER, IT'S TWENTY FIVE MONTHS. AND AGAIN, THAT'S A VERY TIGHT HOUSING SUPPLY. AND SO IT'S VERY CHALLENGING IN THE HOUSING MARKET. AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THE 380 OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT'S GOT PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BIT, A COUPLE OTHER PROJECTS, BUT PROBABLY BRINGING THAT FORWARD SOMETIME IN JUNE. AND THAT'S IT. SO WHEN YOU SAY LIKE PIPELINE, DOES THAT INCLUDE FIELDS IN THAT OR? NO, THAT ONLY INCLUDES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED THE PLIMMER PLANT JUST TO START THE PROCESS. AND SO UNTIL LIKE IT'S APPROVED, LIKE FIELDS THAT HAVE [INAUDIBLE] AND ONCE THAT'S APPROVED, THEN THAT GETS ADDED TO THE PIPELINE. OK, OK. COUNCIL WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU. OK, THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM TEN, WHICH IS THE VISIT FRISCO MONTHLY REPORT. [10. Visit Frisco March sales and marketing reports and February metrics report.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I'M HAPPY TO FINALLY GET TO THE MARCH REPORT BECAUSE FROM APRIL ON, IT'S GOING TO START LOOKING MUCH BETTER IN COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR, WE'VE STARTED TO SEE OUR WEEKEND BUSINESS REALLY INCREASED. IN FACT, NOT THIS PAST WEEKEND, BUT THE ONE PRIOR WE GOT UP TO 90 PERCENT OCCUPANCY. AND WHEN TALKING TO THE HOTELS, A LOT OF IT WAS JUST TRANSIENT. SO IT WAS JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THEIR HOUSE AND DO SOME SHORT VACATION. SO MIDWEEK STILL CONTINUES TO BE SLOW, BUT WE'RE SEEING A LOT MORE RFPS COME THROUGH. JUST LAST WEEK, WE GOT 11 IN ONE WEEK. SO IT'S BEEN A REALLY GOOD MONTH OF APRIL SO FAR. AND WE'RE STARTING TO TRACK, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO COMPARE OUR OCCUPANCY, THAT AT 19 AND THERE SO WE CAN LOOK AND SEE WHEN WE START TRENDING TO GETTING BACK TO 2019, FROM A RECOVERY STANDPOINT. OTHER THAN THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. [INAUDIBLE] TELL US ABOUT FOOTBALL. TELL US ABOUT FOOTBALL. SO LET'S SEE, SUNDAY, MAY 16TH, FCS WILL BE RETURNING AND I THINK THE BRACKET IS OUT ALREADY SO YOU CAN START FOLLOWING THAT. [00:35:02] IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWING TWENTY FIVE PERCENT CAPACITY INTO THE STADIUM FROM THE NCAA RULES. AND SO MOST LIKELY THERE PROBABLY WON'T BE TICKETS FOR SALE UNLESS SOME OF THE SCHOOLS TURN DOWN. I THINK THE GOAL RIGHT NOW IS TO GIVE EACH SCHOOL AROUND TWO THOUSAND TICKETS AND THAT'LL BE PRETTY MUCH CAPACITY IN THERE, BUT THE GAME WILL BE GREAT. AND NOT AS, WE WON'T BE DOING ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE DID BEFORE. THERE WILL BE NO BARBECUE BOWL. AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WE DID. THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH COME INTO TOWN PRACTICE FOR A DAY AND PLAY AND THEN LEAVE. IS IT? DO WE KNOW IF NDSU IS COMING? THEY MADE IT, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE BRACKET. YEAH, THEY MADE IT. YEAH, THEY MADE IT. ALL RIGHT. BUT THEY'RE NOT IN THE TOP SEED. I THINK SOUTH DAKOTA MIGHT BE. SOUTH DAKOTA'S THE ONE SEED. THEY JUST BEAT. I ACTUALLY WATCHED THE GAME ON ESPN. THEY BEAT NORTH DAKOTA PRETTY HANDILY THIS WEEKEND. SO. BE A CHANGE FOR THEM. OF COURSE. JAMES MADISON. JAMES MADISON, AND THEN SAY I'M USED TO THE LOCAL IS THE TWO SEED. SO I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF WE SEE PEOPLE FROM FARGO REGARDLESS. RIGHT. YOU KNOW, ONE THING WE HEARD IS THAT IN FARGO RIGHT NOW, IT'S PLANTING SEASON FOR THE FARMERS. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED, YOU KNOW, HAD THEY ALLOWED MORE PEOPLE IN OR NOT. ANYTHING ELSE? NO, THANKS, [INAUDIBLE]. THANK YOU. WE WILL GET TWO COWBOY HATS. OH, THANK YOU. OK, THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT. [11. 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.] COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES ON SUBCOMMITTEES MET THIS AFTERNOON? AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 87TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND FOR THE STATE. AND SO WE DISCUSSED SOME BILLS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON AND WORKING WITH OUR REPRESENTATIVES. I KNOW THAT BEN BREZINA GOES DOWN EVERY WEEK TO AUSTIN AS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR US FROM STAFF AND IS MEETING WITH THOSE THAT ARE NECESSARY. THERE'S A LOT OF BILLS THAT ARE STILL IN COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW AND SOME OF THEM WE'RE HOPING TO STAY IN COMMITTEE. SO THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY THE MOST POSITIVE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT SOME OF THEM. BUT WE ARE WORKING ON THEM. WE HAVE BEEN DOING ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK I'M MOST PROUD OF IS THAT THERE IS A BILL THAT'S WORKING ITS WAY THROUGH THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A VERY STRONG HAND IN HELPING SHAPE THAT BILL IN A WAY THAT WOULD BE MORE SUPPORTIVE AND BENEFICIAL FOR FRISCO. SO INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING NO TO SOMETHING, WE ACTUALLY ARE HELPING SHAPE THE BILL. AND THEY TOOK EVERY ONE OF OUR CONSIDERATIONS AND PUT IT INTO THE BILL. SO IF IT ACTUALLY DOES GO FORWARD, I'M VERY PROUD THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE HAD A DIRECT HAND IN. SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THOSE BILLS AND CONTINUE TO MONITOR THEM AND SPEAK WHERE NECESSARY. AND SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT OUR RESIDENTS TO KNOW IS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO BE PROTECTED. IN SO MANY OF THESE PLACES. THERE ARE THINGS THAT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT EITHER THE ABILITY OF THE CITY TO GENERATE REVENUE FROM OTHER SOURCES OR THEY WOULD BE THEY WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT YOUR TAX RATES IN THE END OR THE ABILITY TO GROW BUSINESSES. AND SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY AS WELL AS TODAY, THAT THEY NEED TO BE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON. SO THANK YOU TO BEN FOR ALL OF HIS EFFORTS IN WORKING AND LEADING THAT CHARGE WITH OUR TEAM. ANY THE OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES? I JUST [INAUDIBLE], REALLY QUICK, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH PARKS AND REC, VETERAN COMMUNITY AND LEADERSHIP FRISCO 24 ON THE REFRESH AT THE VETERANS MEMORIAL AT COLLINS PARK. IF YOU GO UP THERE NOW, YOU'LL NOTICE A COUPLE OF CHANGES HAVE ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE THINGS COMING IN THE WORKS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A I THINK, A VERY EXCITING AND MOVING MEMORIAL DAY ON MAY 31ST. AND OF COURSE, WE INVITE EVERYBODY OUT THERE, NOT JUST OUR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, BUT ALL OUR CITIZENS. TO TAKE PART IN THAT EVENT, IT'S A REALLY GREAT ANNUAL EVENT, AND WE WILL HAVE A UPDATE ON ANOTHER PROJECT FOR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE LATER TONIGHT. AND THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS, BUT HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE AND WE WILL HAVE A TRULY INCREDIBLE MEMORIAL DAY THIS YEAR. THANK YOU, JOHN, ANY OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE AT LEAST. AND THIS IS AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY. I KNOW WE HAVE AN ELECTION GOING ON AND EARLY VOTING IS HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK AND GOES THROUGH, WHAT DATE? WHO KNOWS? COME ON, JOHN.I BELIEVE IT'S THE 27TH. EARLY VOTING GOES THROUGH THE 27TH AND THAT DAY OF VOTING IS 7:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M. IN BOTH DENTON AND COLLIN COUNTY. OK, AND THEN ELECTION DAY IS MAY 1ST? AND FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M., MAY 1ST. OK, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THAT IN THERE. SOME OF US ARE MORE EXCITED, LIKE CHRISTIE TO GET IT DONE THAN OTHERS. I'M PRETTY EXCITED TO GET IT DONE. [00:40:03] SO YOU VOTE ON THAT. JOHN, AND WE'LL FIND OUT. OK, THAT WILL MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT. IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN CITIZEN INPUT? SEEING NONE, THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. [CONSENT AGENDA] ITEMS PLACED IN THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL. THE [INAUDIBLE] CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. A MAJORITY OF COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT. MADE SOME WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. COUNCIL. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A BLUE CARD ON ITEM TWENTY TWO. YES. GO AHEAD, JOHN. WELL, I'LL DEFER TO THE MARINE IN THE AUDIENCE. AS YOU GENERALLY SHOULD. [LAUGHTER] SPEAKING OF MARINES, AS WE PULL ITEM AND HAVE A SPEAKER ADDRESS US ON ITEM TWENTY TWO. IN MOTION [INAUDIBLE] WE'LL PULL ITEM 22. I WILL SECOND THAT. SECOND BY DAN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PROPOSE THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. ITEM 22 HAS BEEN PULLED TO LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THE REMAINING CONSENT ITEMS. I MOVED TO APPROVE ITEMS 12 THROUGH 21 AND 23 THROUGH 29. MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. ITEM TWENTY TWO IS CONSIDER AN ACT UPON APPROVAL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE [22. Consider and act upon approval authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Hershel “Woody” Williams Foundation for the installation and dedication of a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument at Frisco Commons Park. (Parks & Recreation/DF)] AN AGREEMENT WITH THE HERSHEL WOODY WILLIAMS FOUNDATION FOR THE INSTALLATION AND DEDICATION OF A GOLD STAR FAMILIES MEMORIAL MONUMENT AT FRISCO COMMONS PARK. OUR FIRST AND ONLY SPEAKER THAT I HAVE IS CHUCK WRIGHT. NOW, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND IF YOU WOULD GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. CHUCK WRIGHT, 2967 HANCOCK DRIVE, FRISCO, TEXAS, 75033. WHAT IS A GOLD STAR FAMILY? WE DEFINE IT AS ANY FAMILY WHO HAS HAD A FAMILY MEMBER GIVE THEIR LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION IN MILITARY SERVICE TO OUR NATION. THE FOUNDATION WAS CREATED BY HERSCHEL WOODY WILLIAMS 14 YEARS AGO. WOODY WILLIAMS IS THE OLDEST SURVIVING MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT IN AMERICA TODAY. SADLY, WE LOST CHARLES AND I FORGOT CHARLES'S LAST NAME. I'M EMBARRASSED, TWO WEEKS AGO. WOODY WAS A MARINE WHO EARNED THE MEDAL OF HONOR ON IWO JIMA. AFTER HE RETIRED FROM THE MARINE CORPS, HE WORKED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS. BUT HE DEVELOPED AN INCREDIBLE PASSION FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO HAD LOST LOVED ONES. TWO YEARS AGO, WE PUT TOGETHER A COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF SEVERAL GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMBERS AND SEVERAL VETERANS AND SEVERAL PATRIOTS TO BRING A GOLD STAR FAMILY MONUMENT TO FRISCO. FRISCO IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN AMERICA TO RAISE A FAMILY. FRISCO ALSO LOVES OUR VETERANS. WHAT BETTER WAY TO HONOR? WHAT BETTER WAY TO CREATE A PLACE OF REMEMBRANCE FOR OUR GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMBERS? AND WHAT BETTER WAY FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS TO EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN ON THE SACRIFICES THAT OUR VETERANS MAKE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR VETERAN FAMILIES. SO WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO ASK COUNCIL FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE OUR PROJECT. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE FOR ME TO THANK, BUT THERE ARE TWO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SINGLE OUT. FIRST, THE CITY'S PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN A PARTNER OF OURS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. AND THEN THE SECOND WE HAVE THE FOUR KEY GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMITTEE. AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO STAND, IF I MAY HIJACK THE MEETING. [APPLAUSE]. SOME OF THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT I KNEW BEFORE WE BEGAN, SOME OF THEM ARE PEOPLE I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW AND LOVE. WOODY'S QUOTE, "THE CAUSE IS GREATER THAN I." SO I WILL LEAVE IT WITH, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. WE HOPE YOU APPROVE THIS. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE MEMORIAL DAY REALLY SPECIAL THIS YEAR. THANK YOU. AND I REMEMBER MEETING YOU A FEW YEARS AGO TALKING ABOUT THIS IDEA. SO IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU SEE IT THROUGH AND SEE IT TO THE FINISH LINE. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO FOR VETERANS IN THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING THAT. GO AHEAD. SURE, JUST CHARLES COOLIDGE WAS THE MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT THAT YOU WERE [00:45:03] THINKING OF. AND THAT ACTUALLY RAISES A GREAT POINT IN LINE WITH THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A TRAGEDY WHEN THESE GREAT AMERICAN HEROES DIE, BUT THE BIGGER TRAGEDY IS IF THEY'RE FORGOTTEN. EXACTLY. AND SO I APPLAUD YOUR EFFORTS HERE TONIGHT. AND THANK YOU KNOW, AND I'LL AGAIN, DEFER TO MY MARINE CORPS COLLEAGUES TO MOTION AND SECOND, BUT I APPLAUD THE WORK. CONGRATULATIONS. I KNOW YOU PUT IN A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY INTO THIS. AND THE FINISH LINE IS RIGHT HERE. I HOPE SO, SIR. SO FOR THE ATTENDEES IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO CHUCK WRIGHT IS, HE'S A FELLOW MARINE CORPS VETERAN AND HE'S A SUPERSTAR ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS HERE IN FRISCO. AND I'M SO PROUD OF ALL THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS. THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR FRISCO AND TO HONOR OUR FALLEN HEROES. SO I WAS GLAD TO SEE EVERYBODY INVOLVED, OUR WHOLE VETERAN COMMUNITY, FROM THE AMERICAN LEGION TO THE VFW, FROM FFAC AND EVERYBODY COMING TOGETHER AND GET THIS DONE. THIS IS EXCITING. THANK YOU. CHUCK, I APPRECIATE YOUR VISION. I APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION IN GETTING IT DONE. OK, EVELYN MADE ME CRY LAST NIGHT. YOU GUYS ARE ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN. BUT BEFORE WE LET CHUCK MESS IT UP, WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 22. MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY DAN ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. LOOK FORWARD TO THE MEMORIAL DAY.[APPLAUSE] OK, THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA.

SO HE'S VERY, VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE CITY OF FRISCO AND WITH GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. AND JUST LIKE WITH THE BANK, I THINK IT'S VERY, VERY REFLECTIVE ON THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE CITY OF FRISCO WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY BANKS BID ON OUR SERVICES. AND IT WAS THE SAME WAY WITH THE AUDIT, RFP OR WHATEVER, RFQ, WE HAD SEVEN OR EIGHT AUDIT FIRMS BID ON OUR SERVICE. AND SO THAT'S REALLY A GOOD SIGN THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT A GOOD AGENCY, WORD GETS AROUND AND AUDIT FIRMS DON'T WANT TO DO THE JOB BECAUSE IT'S A LOT MORE WORK, RIGHT?
