ALL THAT SHE DOES AT HOPE REVOLVES AROUND HELPING EVERYONE TAKE A STEP CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF GOD'S PURPOSE FOR THEIR LIVES. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING, IF YOU WOULD JOIN US AT THE PODIUM. >> WELL, HI GUYS. WOW. [LAUGHTER] I FEEL EMOTIONAL AND I SWEAR I'M NOT EMOTIONAL PERSON, THAT'S A LIE. BUT [LAUGHTER] TRULY I FEEL SO HUMBLED AND HONORED JUST TO BE RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS COMING TO A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS COMING TO A CHURCH LOBBY AFTER SERVICE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THAT FELT LIKE. [LAUGHTER] I'M SITTING OVER THERE, I DON'T KNOW ANYONE, BUT I'M SMILING. [LAUGHTER] I GUESS FEELING REALLY GOOD, BECAUSE I THINK THAT JUST SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT YOU AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU, BUT I FEEL THAT IN THIS ROOM, JUST YOU CAN SEE YOU'RE SO SUPPORTED. I WOULD HAVE WORN RED IF I HAD KNOWN, BECAUSE [LAUGHTER] WOW. YOU'RE REALLY PAVING THE WAY AND I AM SO HUMBLED JUST TO BE PRAYING FOR YOU GUYS TODAY. AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT, AND I WAS SITTING OVER THERE AND I WAS PREPARING, AND I HAD THIS ONE THING PLANNED AND I'M ALL ABOUT PLANS AND EVERYTHING. BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, AND I DON'T KNOW YOU, BUT I IMAGINE THAT IT'S NOT ALWAYS BEEN A CELEBRATION. THAT BEING HERE TODAY AND SITTING UP THERE VERY SOON, PEOPLE WILL CELEBRATE YOU TODAY. YOU GUYS UP HERE, YOU PROBABLY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AS WELL. YOU GET CELEBRATED ONE DAY BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE STRUGGLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW THE HARDSHIP, [00:05:01] THEY DON'T KNOW THE CRITICISM THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY EVEN FACED JUST GETTING TO THIS SEAT RIGHT HERE. >> AMEN. >> [APPLAUSE] THAT'S WHY I FEEL HONORED. BUT TRULY LEADERSHIP IS REALLY HARD. I KNOW THAT THERE IS SO MUCH THAT I PERSONALLY, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT ME, YOU'RE LIKE, HOW OLD ARE YOU? [LAUGHTER] I FACE SOME LEADERSHIP DECISIONS MYSELF AND I KNOW THAT I HAVEN'T FACED ALL OF THEM, AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE STRUGGLE AND THE DIFFICULT MOMENTS OR THE MOMENTS WHERE MAYBE YOU DO QUESTION YOURSELF. I'M BELIEVING THAT EVERYONE UP HERE AND YOU AS WELL, YOU HAVE THESE HEARTS TO SERVE, THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE UP THERE IF YOU WEREN'T FOR THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM AND THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT [APPLAUSE]. USUALLY, WE TEND TO JUST NOTICE LIKE TODAY WE CELEBRATE, TOMORROW WILL CRITICIZE. THERE WILL BE THINGS THAT YOU DO AND YOU'LL MAKE MISTAKES AND WE'LL REMEMBER THAT, BUT WE WON'T REMEMBER THE VICTORIES. YOU'LL SAY SOMETHING AND TAKE A MISSTEP, BUT WE WON'T REMEMBER THE TIMES THAT YOU DID WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR US AND YOU HELPED US AND YOU SERVED US. LEADERSHIP IS JUST A THANKLESS JOB FOR THE MOST PART, MOST DAYS. I KNOW I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR. REALLY, I HAD ONE MISSION, TO COME UP HERE TODAY IS ONE TO PRAY FOR YOU, BUT WANTED JUST TO SAY THANK YOU. TRULY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE. THANK YOU FOR SERVING. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MAYBE THE MENIAL TASKS. THE ONES THAT'S YOU DO THIS, I HEARD IT'S NOT LIKE THIS EVERY TIME. I'M SURE THERE'S LIKE FIVE, SIX, AND YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THOSE. THANK YOU FOR PLANNING, AND STRATEGY AND DECISION-MAKING, IN CONFRONTATION AND SERVING IN GIVING. THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANTED TO SAY WAS THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU GUYS AND I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU AS YOU'RE STEPPING IN, THAT WE WOULD JUST BE LED BY THE LORD TODAY AND ENCOURAGED. I THINK I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO BE ENCOURAGED AND KNOW THAT YOU'RE WELL-EQUIPPED AND THAT GOD IS GOING TO STRENGTHEN YOU TO DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO AND YOU'RE WELL SUPPLIED. LET'S PRAY TOGETHER. LORD, I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PEOPLE THAT SIT ON THIS COUNCIL. GOD THAT YOU PUT THEM THERE ON PURPOSE, AND THAT THE MOMENTS WHERE MAYBE THEY HAVE FELT UNSURE, OR EXHAUSTED, OR TIRED, OR UNSEEN, OR UNHEARD, GOD THAT YOU HAVE PUT THEM IN THIS PLACE FOR NOW ON PURPOSE. I PRAY LORD, THAT THEY WOULD BE ENCOURAGED TODAY THAT YOU WILL LEAD EVERY CONVERSATION, EVERY DECISION, EVERY INTERACTION, AND THAT WE WOULD LOVE EACH OTHER AND SERVE AND GIVE. WHEN WE WANT TO GIVE UP, THAT WE WOULD REMEMBER THE SIMPLE ENCOURAGEMENT. THANK YOU. DON'T STOP GIVING, DON'T STOP SERVING, DON'T STOP LOVING. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN THIS CITY. IN JESUS NAME, I PRAY. AMEN. >> AMEN. WOW [APPLAUSE] >> IF YOU WOULD PLEASE RISE FOR OUR PLEDGES. [PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE] [NOISE] OF ALLEGIANCE] >> ALL RIGHT. MR. SAL, THE OWNER, GRAB A BOX. [LAUGHTER]. >> WOULD YOU HAVE THE VIDEO FIRST? PUT THE VIDEO FIRST. >> OH, YES. WE HAVE IT. I THINK WE HAVE A NICE VIDEO. [4. Recognition of Service for Council Member Will Sowell.] OUR NEXT IS WE WANT TO CELEBRATE COUNCIL MEMBER WILL SAL FOR HIS NINE YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO [APPLAUSE]. I THINK WE HAVE A QUICK VIDEO THAT WE'RE GOING TO PLAY SHOWING SOME MEMORIES OF MR. SOWELL ON COUNCIL, AND MAYBE LOOKING AT A LITTLE YOUNGER THAN HE DOES TODAY. I DON'T KNOW LET'S SEE. [LAUGHTER] [MUSIC]. [00:10:08] >> I WILLIAM SOWELL. >> DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM. >> DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM. >> THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER PLACE 3. >> THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER PLACE 3. [APPLAUSE] IN 2005, WE DEDICATED THIS PART TO HAROLD BACCHUS, AND A DECADE SINCE THEN FRISCO HAS GROWN A LOT. >> THREE, TWO, ONE. >> RACERS ARE YOU READY? ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, AND GO. [APPLAUSE] THE VISION AND PASSION BOUGHT BY THE JONES FAMILY AND THE DALLAS COWBOYS, WILL NOT ONLY TRANSFORM FRISCO BUT ALSO, THE MANY STUDENTS THAT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY HERE. [APPLAUSE] IN 2040, IT'S NOT TEXAS THAT'S GOING TO LEARN ABOUT FRISCO, AND IT'S NOT THE US THAT'S GOING TO LEARN ABOUT FRISCO, THE WORLD IS GOING TO LEARN ABOUT FRISCO. NO PRESSURE THERE. [MUSIC] IT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE HONOR TO BE HERE THE PAST NINE YEARS, AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT. I'VE LEARNED JUST SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO EFFECTIVELY RUN A CITY, HOW TO PARTNER, I'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE TALENT OF CITY STAFF. ALL I WOULD SAY IS I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED. FRISCO IS TRULY BLESSED WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WE HAVE HERE, THAT KNOW SUCCESS, AND KNOW HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I WOULD HAVE ASKED THEM JUST GET INVOLVED, MAKE SURE WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW OUR CITY FOR THE FUTURE. [APPLAUSE] >> MOVE TO ADJOURN. [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] >> [INAUDIBLE]. >> DOESN'T MATTER. >> I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO BE THE ONE TONIGHT TO GET EMOTIONAL BUT MAN, AFTER HEARING THAT SERMON, [LAUGHTER] THAT WAS THE RIGHT MESSAGE AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND THOSE ARE WORDS WE NEEDED TO HEAR. BUT SEEING ALL THESE MEMORIES WITH WILL, SOME OF WHICH I HAD FORGOTTEN ALREADY SEEING THEM UP THERE, BUT NINE YEARS IS A LONG TIME. YOU BECOME PARTNER IN A LAW FIRM AFTER NINE YEARS I THINK. WILL WAS GIVING TO THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO LONG BEFORE HE WAS EVER ELECTED AS A CITY COUNCIL PERSON. IN FACT, I MADE A REFERENCE TONIGHT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION OF A FOND MEMORY I HAVE OF HIM CALLING ME, AND YELLING AT ME WHEN I WAS ON CITY COUNCIL OVER AN ISSUE. BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED, I REMEMBER DISTINCTFULLY I WAS STANDING AT A GAS STATION TRYING TO GET GAS. I'M LIKE, WILL, CAN I CALL YOU BACK? [LAUGHTER] YOU CAN YELL AT ME LATER BUT HE WAS RIGHT ON THAT ISSUE. WE'VE LEANED ON HIM FOR LEADERSHIP LONG BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED, OF COURSE. NINE YEARS OF SERVICE HE'S SEEN MANY THINGS AND I KNOW THE PROJECTS THAT HE'S WORKED ON ARE NOT THE THINGS THAT HE'LL SPEAK OF IN A FEW MINUTES. BUT HE'S WORKED ON SOME AMAZING PROJECTS AND THIS TRANSFORMED A LOT IN THE CITY. WORKING ON BRINGING THE DALLAS COWBOYS, THE BIG PROJECTS THAT YOU HEAR OF. I TALK ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE PGA OF AMERICA. WHEN WE MADE THAT FIRST TRIP, IT WAS WILL AND I, THAT WENT OUT THERE AND RIDING THAT BUS AND SAYING WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. HE'S LIKE I WANT TO TAKE THE LEAD ON MAKING IT HAPPEN, AND HE DID TAKE THE LEAD. THERE'S A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE THAT THE PGA OF AMERICA WOULD NOT BE HERE BUT FOR, AND WILL IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THOSE BUT FOR THE AND LEADERSHIP THERE. BUT THEN IT'S ALL THE SMALL DECISIONS OVER THE YEARS. WE TALK ALL THE TIME. PEOPLE COMPLAIN, THEY SAY COUNCIL ALWAYS VOTE 6, 0 THAT MEANS YOU ALL AGREE ON EVERYTHING. OF COURSE, ALL OF YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT, BUT WHAT WE TALK ABOUT IS THE REASON THAT WE LOVE 6, 0 VOTES. IS BECAUSE WE WORK AS A TEAM COLLECTIVELY TO REMOVE OBJECTIONS. THAT VOTE MAY HAVE STARTED AS A 4-3 VOTE, AND WE COULD HAVE JUST BEEN DONE AS A CITY, AND THAT'S HOW MOST COUNCILS OPERATE. AS THEY SAY, IT'S 4, 3 TIME TO MOVE ON. BUT THAT'S NOT HOW WE'VE OPERATED AND HOW WILL OPERATED. IT'S ALWAYS IF WE CAN OVERCOME WILL'S OBJECTION AND SHAWNER'S AND BRIAN'S, THEN SUDDENLY WE'VE GOTTEN TO A 6, 0 VOTE, AND WE HAVE A BETTER OUTCOME. WILL, I CAN SAY ALMOST EVERY SINGLE VOTE THAT HE'S TAKEN IN HIS NINE YEARS HAS MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THAT DECISION TO GETTING TO A BETTER OUTCOME. [00:15:04] YOU'LL HEAR ALL THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS SPEAK AS WELL BUT WHEN WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER WE BECOME, AS WE DESCRIBE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WHICH IS SOMETIMES WE LOVE EACH OTHER, AND SOMETIMES WE JUST WANT TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER. [LAUGHTER] BUT TONIGHT WE'RE DEFINITELY BROTHERS AND SISTERS UP HERE JUST CELEBRATING YOU WILL AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU BOYS, YOU WANT TO COME UP HERE OR YOU GOT TO COME? I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO, BUT WILL SAID, [LAUGHTER] I NEED TO MAKE YOU COME UP HERE. YOU LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SINCE THE INITIAL SWEARING IN DAY BACKGROUND] BUT WHEN YOU RUN AND YOU SERVE IT IS A FAMILY DECISION, SO LET'S GIVE THESE BOYS AROUND OF A APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE] YOU'RE GOING TO NEED HELP GETTING ALL THESE GIFTS OUT TO THE CAR TONIGHT. I'M GOING TO PASS IT ON TO MY COLLEAGUE SO THAT HE CAN DESCRIBE IT AND SAY A FEW WORDS. BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY PERSONALLY ON BEHALF OF DANA AND I AND OUR FAMILY THAT THANK YOU FOR, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE, [LAUGHTER] FOR BEING A LEADER IN THIS COMMUNITY, FOR MAKING US BETTER AS A CITY, AND FOR BEING MY FRIEND. CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] >> I AM GOING TO MAKE A SHORT JOKE BEFORE THIS IS OVER. [LAUGHTER] I WANT TO START OFF BY THANKING YOU FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. OUR RELATIONSHIPS COME FULL CIRCLE. WILL HAS BEEN A GREAT MENTOR TO ME FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. HE HAS CALLED AND YELLED AT ME AS WELL. I WAS IN THE MEDIA ROOM WATCHING TV. [LAUGHTER] I THINK HE WAS RIGHT AS WELL, BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT. BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOUR MENTORSHIP. YOU'RE WELCOMED. [LAUGHTER] YOUR MENTORSHIP, YOUR GUIDANCE, YOUR CHALLENGING ME WHEN I HAD A VIEW THAT YOU MAY HAVE DISAGREED WITH. WE OBVIOUSLY JOKE ABOUT THE HEIGHT, THERE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENCE. WE DON'T GET CONFUSED FOR EACH OTHER A LOT. [BACKGROUND] NO MATTER HOW TALL I AM, I HAVE LOOKED UP TO YOU. WE HAVEN'T ALWAYS SEEN EYE TO EYE ON EVERYTHING, BUT WE'VE [LAUGHTER] BECOME FRIENDS AND I WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS AND SURE WE WILL RELY ON YOUR GUIDANCE IN OTHER AREAS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. BEST OF LUCK. >> THANKS BROTHER, I APPRECIATE IT. >> YEAH. SHAWN [APPLAUSE] >> WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE OVER THERE. MY FIRST MEMORY OF WILL WAS WHEN HE WALKED INTO THE ROOM FOR THE 2010 CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE. HE HAD JUST COME OFF OF SERVING ON UPDATING OUR ETHICS POLICIES. IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF MEETINGS IN CHARTER REVIEW AND I SAID, "WILL, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RUN FOR COUNCIL?" BECAUSE I KNEW. HE LOOKED AT ME, HE GOES, " IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN." HERE WE ARE NINE YEARS LATER. TRULY IT'S 11 YEARS LATER NOW, YES. NINE YEARS ON COUNCIL BUT 11 YEARS LATER. I HAVE ALWAYS APPRECIATED YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS ON EVERYTHING. SOMEHOW WE CAN BE DISCUSSING AND GOING BACK AND FORTH ON PGA OR ANY A NUMBER OF OTHER SUBJECTS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL WILL SAY SOMETHING AND EVERYBODY JUST GOES, OH, YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE, AND IT JUST CLICKS. WE'RE GOING TO MISS THAT WITH YOU GONE. AS BRIAN SAID ALSO, I'VE LOOKED UP TO YOU, LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU AND I APPRECIATE ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO. THANK YOU, SIR. [APPLAUSE] >> IT'S BEEN MY PLEASURE TO SERVE WITH YOU WILL, YOU'VE DONE SUCH AN AMAZING JOB HERE FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT WILL THE MOST IS HE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT, HE'S VERY PRAGMATIC, AND IT'S TRUTH, IT'S HONESTY, AND IT'S FACT BASED. WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT WILL IS HE REALLY IS A TEAM PLAYER, HE'LL WILL WORK WITH YOU AND THOUGH WE MAY NOT AGREE ALL THE TIME, HIS INPUTS, HIS RESEARCH IS ALWAYS EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO FOR THESE NINE YEARS. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. >> OH MY GOSH. [LAUGHTER] WHEN WILL FIRST RAN, I HAD ENDORSED HIS OPPONENT, [LAUGHTER] AND I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET ON THE WAY TO HIS HOUSE THE NEXT DAY [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE I WAS READY TO PUT POLITICS ASIDE. >> WAIT, WAS IT A FRISCO COP WHO GAVE YOU THE TICKET? [LAUGHTER]. >> WELL, YES. [LAUGHTER] IT WAS A WARNING. I GOT PULLED OVER. IT WAS A WARNING. [00:20:02] DON'T ASK ANY MORE QUESTIONS. [LAUGHTER] HE'S STILL IN FRISCO, AND I THINK HE MAY BE IN THIS ROOM [LAUGHTER]. IT WASN'T THE CHIEF. [LAUGHTER] WILL WELCOMED ME INTO HIS HOUSE AND WAS READY TO GO TO WORK AND HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I WAS SHOCKED, AND THERE WERE A COUPLE I COULDN'T ANSWER, AND SAID, ''WELL, LET'S FIGURE THAT OUT TOGETHER.'' [NOISE] FROM THEN FORWARD, THE LEADERSHIP HE PROVIDED, THE FRIENDSHIP, THE GUIDANCE, THE WORDS OF WISDOM, SOME I'LL CARRY WITH ME. ONE OF MY FAVORITES, "JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD", FROM YOUR FATHER. ANOTHER ONE, "NEVER NEGOTIATE PAST YES." WISE WORDS. [LAUGHTER] WILL, IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE, AND I KNOW YOU'RE REALLY NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I KNOW YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING SPECIAL, NO? OFF TO THE BEACH FOR WILL, OKAY. [LAUGHTER] SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A BEACH HERE YET., [LAUGHTER] GIVE IT A YEAR OR TWO AND WE'LL HAVE A FRISCO SKI TEAM HERE, EVENTUALLY. [LAUGHTER] BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH. AS MAYOR CHENEY SAID, WHEN THE PGA CAME, WE WERE ON PINS AND NEEDLES. WE WERE NOT THE ONLY CITY. IT STARTED OFF WITH I THINK 50 DIFFERENT CITIES. EVERYBODY WANTED, WHY WOULDN'T YOU? EVERYBODY WANTED THE PGA HEADQUARTERS IN THEIR TOWN. IT WAS A TOUGH FIGHT. JEFF SAID, ''WELL, I REALLY NEED YOU TO BE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT ON THIS. AS MAYOR, I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF THINGS I HAVE TO FOCUS ON, AND WE REALLY NEED A DEDICATED MEMBER OF COUNCIL ON THIS.'' WE ALL AGREED WILL WAS THE RIGHT GUY. BUT I'LL TELL YOU HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL; HE JUST DOESN'T GIVE ALL IN ON THE BIG PROJECTS, AND WE LIKE TO GIVE HIM A HARD TIME BECAUSE HE WILL ALSO CHALLENGE US ON SIMPLE THINGS LIKE MEDIANS AND HOW THEY LOOK AND WHAT WE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY, AND WHY ARE THERE FIRE ANTS AND WHY ARE THERE WEEDS, AND WHY AREN'T THEY TRIMMED PROPERLY? WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO DIFFERENTLY? WE'RE LIKE, WILL, ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO TAKE US THROUGH THIS ON MEDIANS? [LAUGHTER] AM I RIGHT, GUYS? >> YEAH. >> [INAUDIBLE] >> DO WE HAVE THAT READY? >> WE DID. >> GO AHEAD. >> DO YOU HAVE IT HANDY? [LAUGHTER] WE DON'T HAVE A PGA DEDICATION FOR YOU BOTH. BUT WE DO HAVE A MEDIAN DEDICATION FOR YOU. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE]. I'M TOLD IT IS THE PRETTIEST MEDIAN ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN. [APPLAUSE] YES. THERE IT IS. [LAUGHTER] CORNER OF PAINT HORSE AND STONEBROOK. CONGRATULATIONS. [LAUGHTER] >> THANK YOU. >> WOW. I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER DONE THAT BEFORE. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE]. WILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, YOUR LEADERSHIP, AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. I KNOW YOU'LL HAVE WORDS LATER FOR US ALL, BUT I KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU DO THIS NOT FOR PERSONAL GAIN, NOT FOR SELF-PROMOTION; YOU DO THIS BECAUSE ALL OF THESE GOOD PEOPLE ARE WORTH IT. THANK YOU, SIR. [APPLAUSE] >> WE FIRST MET IN 2012 WHEN YOU WERE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT OFTEN THAT WHAT INSPIRED ME WITH YOU WAS THAT WHEN ASKED A REALLY HARD QUESTION, [NOISE] THAT YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN A REALLY EASY POLITICAL ANSWER TO THAT WOULD HAVE MADE EVERYBODY HAPPY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY POPULAR IN THE ROOM, AND YOU CHOSE THE HARD, UNPOPULAR ANSWER BECAUSE OF THE COURAGE OF YOUR CONVICTIONS. YOU WERE NEVER WILLING TO SAY SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE IT WAS POPULAR. YOU WERE ALWAYS WILLING TO SAY SOMETHING EVEN WHEN IT WAS HARD BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT. AT THAT MOMENT I WENT, "HE'S GETTING MY VOTE BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN TRUST WHAT HE SAYS AT THAT POINT." I THINK YOU'VE CHALLENGED US TO ALL CONTINUALLY TO PUSH FOR THE COURAGE OF OUR CONVICTIONS. [NOISE] SOMETIMES IT WASN'T POPULAR. SOMETIMES IT WAS HARD. SOMETIMES WE COULDN'T GET THERE IN AN AGREEMENT OF A WAY THAT WAS EASY, BUT YOU'VE PUSHED US FOR THE CHALLENGE OF OUR CONVICTIONS. BUT THE OTHER THING YOU ALWAYS PUSHED US WAS FOR A HIGHER STANDARD. I THINK THAT THE STANDARD THAT WILL SOWELL HAS SET AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, AND I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE ON THIS, IT'S UNPARALLELED. [00:25:02] THERE IS NO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER THAT HAS SET THE STANDARD OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL FOR THE RESIDENTS, ATTENTION TO DETAIL FOR WHAT MATTERS, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL FOR HOW WE WERE GOING TO GET THERE AND FINISH THE PROJECT. FOR THAT STANDARD, WE THANK YOU. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE SET A STANDARD WITH APPRECIATING OUR STAFF, AND I THINK IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD WILL SPEAK, YOU WILL HEAR HIM SAY CONSISTENTLY, ''WE HAVE THE BEST STAFF IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. '' WE REALLY DO. WE HAVE THE BEST STAFF HERE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, AND THAT'S NOT ON ACCIDENT. [APPLAUSE] IT WOULD BE REALLY EASY FOR YOU TO SIT ON YOUR LAURELS TO TAKE THE ACCOLADES FOR THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE BEEN PART OF AND THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE, BUT YOU HUMBLY ALWAYS PASSED IT ON THE STAFF, AND YOU HUMBLY ALWAYS PASSED IT ON TO THE TEAM. FOR US AS A COUNCIL, IT WILL BE IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE THAT CHALLENGE IN A VERY POLITICAL WORLD THAT WE ALWAYS ACCEPTED AS A TEAM, AND WE ALWAYS PASS ON THE ACCOLADES TO THE TEAM AND TO THE STAFF THAT'S PART OF THAT TEAM. YOU'VE CREATED A STANDARD THAT IT'LL BE VERY HARD FOR ANY OF US TO BEAT. ANGELIA, I KNOW, YOU KNOW THIS, THAT YOU HAVE VERY BIG SHOES TO FILL, BUT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS SHOES THAT YOU ARE GOING TO STEP IN AND CREATE YOUR OWN. >> GIRL WILL MATCH IT. >> GIRL WILL MATCH. WILL GO GOOD. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE STANDARD THAT YOU'VE SET. YOU'VE ALSO CREATED A LEGACY IN OTHER PLACES BESIDES THE CITY OF FRISCO, AND THAT'S AT THE STATE LEVEL AS WELL. YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT, BUT THEY ALSO RECOGNIZE YOUR DEDICATION TO THE RESIDENTS OF ALWAYS WANTING TO PUSH FOR WHAT WAS BEST AND ALWAYS WANTING TO PUSH FOR WHAT WAS RIGHT WITH THE STATE LEGISLATURE, AND SO A COUPLE OF THEM WANTED TO COME TOGETHER. REPRESENTATIVE HOLLAND FLEW A FLAG OVER THE STATE CAPITAL ON APRIL 15TH OF THIS YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE WILL SOWELL'S BIRTHDAY. BUT THE GIFT IS NOT JUST FROM JUSTIN HOLLAND, FROM REPRESENTATIVE HOLLAND; IT IS ALSO FROM TWO GENTLEMEN IN THE CITY CAPITAL THAT YOU'VE WORKED WITH FOR YEARS AND YEARS WHO HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FROM YOU, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT. BOTH EDDIE CELICE AND BETTY JONES, WHO'VE WORKED WITH YOU TO PROTECT THE CITY OF FRISCO FOR YEARS, WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT RECOGNIZED YOUR SERVICE. THEREFORE, THEY HAD THIS FLAG FLOWN IN YOUR HONOR. [APPLAUSE] THE ONLY OTHER THING I'LL SAY IS, YOU'RE THE BEST DEBATE PARTNER I'VE EVER HAD. IT'S THE BEST ARGUMENTS WE'VE EVER HAD AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE US ALL TO KEEP PUSHING THOSE ARGUMENTS TO THE PLACE THAT GETS US TO A BETTER PLACE FOR FRISCO BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT FRISCO DESERVES. [APPLAUSE]. >> SPEAKING OF STAFF HAS PUT TOGETHER SOME REALLY NICE AWARDS RECOGNIZING YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE. I'M AFRAID TO TAKE IT OUT BECAUSE I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO DROP IT. BUT IT IS REALLY NICE. [LAUGHTER] YOU HAVE SOME OTHER GIFTS FROM COUNCIL AND STAFF BEHIND HERE. HE MAY NEED HELP GETTING IT ALL TO HIS CAR, BUT WILL SOWELL, THE FLOOR IS YOURS, MY FRIEND. >> JEFF IT'S SEVEN MINUTES. ANGELIA, I'M SORRY. [LAUGHTER] FIRST, I WOULD SAY THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE, ALL YOU GUYS, LADY, STAFF THAT MADE THIS REALLY A SPECIAL EVENING. THE CALLS AND TEXTS, E-MAILS I'VE GOTTEN HAVE BEEN VERY MEANINGFUL OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS IS A ROLE THAT I SERVED IN THAT I JUST NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WHAT IT WAS. I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH. MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED IF THIS IS A BITTERSWEET TIME OR A SAD TIME, AND IT REALLY ISN'T. I'M HAPPY TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY JUST LIKE ANGELIA WILL SOON HAVE, AND SHE WILL BE HAPPY TO HAVE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY. I WANT TO SPEND MOST OF MY TIME TONIGHT JUST THANKING A BROAD GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED OR SUPPORTED ME ALONG THE WAY. THE FIRST, I WOULD SAY IS GEORGE PUREFOY. HE IS A MAN THAT IS UNWAVERING IN HIS INTEGRITY. UNWAVERING. A GREAT EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL NEVER CALL YOURSELF, AND THAT IS A SERVANT LEADER. THOSE THAT KNOW ME KNOW I LOVE MOVIES, AND I LOVE QUOTES IN MOVIES, AND THERE IS A QUOTE IN A MOVIE CALLED THE KNIGHT'S TALE, WHERE THERE'S A LOW BORN PERSON, AND HE'S BEING ADDRESSED BY A PRINCE. THE PRINCE SAYS TO HIM, ''YOUR MEN LOVE YOU, AND IF I KNEW NOTHING ELSE ABOUT YOU, THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH.'' THAT IS GEORGE PUREFOY. [APPLAUSE] [00:30:06] RICHARD ABERNATHY IS SOMEONE I WOULD CALL A REAL FRIEND. IF YOU DON'T KNOW RICHARD, HE IS TRULY ONE OF THE FEW RENAISSANCE MEN THAT ARE LEFT. HE'S SMART AND SHARP IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE USED TO BE BEFORE THEY GOT A LITTLE SOCIAL MEDIA APP. [LAUGHTER] SO SMART THAT EVEN EVERY NOW AND THEN HE WILL ACTUALLY CONCEDE A POINT. [LAUGHTER]. HE'S ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME TO DREAM BIG. CHIEF GILSON IN THE BACK, HE'S A GREAT POLICE CHIEF, HE HAS LED IN SOME DIFFICULT TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I THINK HE'S GOT SO MUCH LEFT TO GIVE BOTH TO HIS DEPARTMENT AND HIS CITY. BUT IN MY LIFE, WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS I'M NOT QUITE SURE I WOULD HAVE HAD THIS AGI RIGHT HERE, IF NOT FOR BARBECUE LUNCH WITH HIM. CHIEF WHEREVER YOU ARE BACK THERE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEIL WINE WE CELEBRATED HER RETIREMENT YESTERDAY, BUT THE WOMAN HAS THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT. SHE HAS DEVELOPED A GREAT TEAM AND A GREAT SET OF PEOPLE. THERE'S A SAYING THAT AS A LEADER, THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU'VE ACHIEVED SUCCESS IS REACHED BACK AND PULL THE NEXT PERSON UP AND NEIL IS A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR THAT. HENRY HILL, WHEREVER HE IS, I'VE GOT TWO THINGS TO THANK HIM FOR ONE NOW, ONE LATER, BUT FOR NOW, TAKING ALL MY REALLY CRAZY QUESTIONS, MARK PILAND, HE'S IN THE BACK. MARK PILAND, I'LL JUST SAY THIS, HE'S THE GUY THAT'S BEEN THERE DONE THAT GOT THE T-SHIRT TOOK IT TO THE DEPARTMENT STORE, THE RESALE STORE SOLD IT WHEN DONE SOMETHING ELSE, GOT THAT T-SHIRT, AND NOW HE'S AT THE CITY OF FRISCO. WE ARE INCREDIBLY BLESSED TO HAVE LEADERS LIKE THAT. RON PATTERSON, HE'S AROUND SOMEWHERE, THE FATE THE MAN HAS, THE INSPIRATION HE IS AND THE JOB HE DOES. KRISTI MORROW USUALLY SITS RIGHT OVER HERE. GOD BLESS THAT WOMAN FOR KEEPING US ALL IN LINE. [LAUGHTER]. PEMBERS INA, HE'S A STAND-UP GO-TO GUY, WHATEVER IS ASKED TO DO, HE JUMPS IN. TIMBER WARN IS IN THE BACK ROW. WHEN YOU GO THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES IN YOUR LIFE AND YOU'VE GOT A PAST OF YOUR CHURCH, IT DOESN'T JUDGE YOU. THAT IS A STAND-UP GUY. DEBBIE AND DOUGLAS WE AREN'T HERE TONIGHT. A LOT OF HOW I'VE SERVED, I'VE NEVER SAID THIS TO DEBBIE. I MODELED AFTER HER. SHE'S SOMEONE THAT DIGS IN, GETS THE DETAILS AND VOTES FOR CONSCIENCE. THREE GUYS THAT AREN'T HERE TONIGHT AS WELL, MIKE CILLER, JAD SPRINGER AND COLBY HILL, THREE GUYS THAT I JUST RESPECT THE HELL OUT OF. TIM NELSON'S RIGHT HERE. TIM NELSON GAVE ME THE BEST PIECE OF POLITICAL ADVICE I EVER RECEIVED. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL NOBODY WHAT THAT IS. [LAUGHTER]. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PIECE OF POLITICAL ADVICE I EVER RECEIVED. [LAUGHTER]. CHAB RUDDY AND JOHN CREASY COUPLE OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AROUND TO GIVE ME GOOD ADVICE AND TALK TO ME ABOUT DIFFERENT ISSUES. MY SISTER, PAM OBVIOUSLY ISN'T HERE, BUT I BELIEVE SHE'S ACTUALLY WATCHING, ALTHOUGH SHE GETS UP AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING AND SHE'S ON THE EAST COAST SO MAY BE PASSED HER BEDTIME. BUT SOMEONE THAT HAS STOOD BY ME AND COULD ALWAYS BE COUNTED ON TO HELP. DANA BAIRD HERE SOMEWHERE AS WELL. I WOULD THANK HER JUST FOR ALL THAT SHE'S DONE AND BEING FUNNY WHILE SHE'S DOING IT TOO. KELLY CATER ISN'T HERE TONIGHT, BUT THOSE WHO KNOW HER KNOW THAT SHE'S A FANTASTIC PERSON. SHE'S REALLY SHOWN ME WHAT GRACE IS. A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE I WOULD WANT TO THANK AS WELL, [INAUDIBLE] THE NORTH, THEY'RE PART OF OUR SUNDAY BRANCH GROUP THEY'RE RIGHT HERE. ERIC AND BRITTANY KOHLBERG, ERIC'S THE MOST FRIENDLY ANARCHIST YOU'VE EVER MET. [LAUGHTER] THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE, BUT INA LAUGH ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME. FATHERS DAY IS THIS WEEKEND AND MY DAD, I DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM MUCH. HE HAD A NINTH GRADE EDUCATION AND THAT WAS REALLY IT. HE DIED WHEN I WAS RELATIVELY YOUNG. HE NEVER SAW ME GET A MASTER'S DEGREE AND HE NEVER SAW ME SERVE IN OFFICE. HE NEVER SAW THOSE THINGS. IT'S MEANINGFUL TO ME THAT MY SONS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THAT FOR ME. [APPLAUSE]. MOST OF THE TIME I'LL TALK TO THEM ABOUT STUFF AND I JUST GET THIS KIND OF GLAZE EVER LOOK IN THEIR EYES. BUT AFTER NINE YEARS, I THINK THIS SATURDAY I DID SOMETHING MEANINGFUL IN THE CITY OF FRISCO THAT MADE JOSH PROUD. IT TOOK NINE YEARS. [LAUGHTER]. [00:35:02] ME AND HENRY HILL SAVED A SWARM OF BEES. [LAUGHTER]. RICHARD ABERNATHY THAT IS DREAMING BIG MY FRIEND. SEAN ALLUDED TO THIS, BUT I AM OFTEN ASKED, WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST SURPRISE ABOUT SERVING? IT IS THE QUALITY OF OUR CITY STAFF. THEY ARE JUST AN EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED GROUP OF INDIVIDUAL AND ANGELIA, YOU'VE GOT A GREAT NUMBER OF SUPPORTERS HERE. I JUST HOPE THAT OVER TIME THEY CAN GO OUT AND BE ADVOCATES OF HOW STRONG OUR CITY STAFF IS. THEY LIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT, IF YOU WILL. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOU'RE IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN YOUR JOB, YOU COME UP WITH THESE IDEAS YOU THINK THEY'RE THE GREATEST IDEAS IN THE WORLD AND THEN EVERY TWO WEEKS, SEVEN PEOPLE WALK INTO A ROOM THAT DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN A CITY AND TELL YOU WHETHER THAT'S A GOOD IDEA OR NOT. [LAUGHTER]. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PATIENCE THAT IT TAKES TO DO THAT? [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER]. I'M JUST GOING TO SKIP THROUGH ALL THESE. AGAIN FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE, I WOULD SAY THESE SEVEN ELECTED OFFICIALS, THEY NEED YOUR HELP. THEY TRULY DO. WHEN WE DO WORK SESSIONS AND THERE'S A WORK SESSION THIS FRIDAY AND WE DO THE TOP 10 PART, WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE WANT FRISCO TO BE AND WHAT ARE THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN FRISCO? THOSE ARE THE THINGS THESE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOCUS ON. BUT I'M GOING TO TURN THE TABLES JUST A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT AND SAY THE ONE THING WHERE THIS COUNCIL NEEDS YOUR HELP IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST RISK TO FRISCO TODAY. THE SINGLE BIGGEST RISK TO FRISCO TODAY REALLY IS WHAT I WOULD CALL EXTREMIST POLITICS THAT TAKE THE PLACE OF SOUND POLICY. [APPLAUSE]. ANGELIA AND THE SIX OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS UP HERE ARE VERY FOCUSED ON DOING WHAT'S IN THE BEST LONG-TERM INTEREST OF YOUR CITY. BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP TO GATHER AROUND THEM AND HELP INSULATE THEM FROM THOSE THAT WOULD TRY TO BE DIVISIVE. THIS GROUP IS VERY FOCUSED NOT ON WHAT I WANT, BUT THEIR FOCUS IS ON WHAT WE NEED AND THEY NEED YOUR HELP IN DOING THAT. THE EXPECTATIONS ARE ALWAYS HALF FOR A LEADER. THERE ARE ALWAYS ARE. THESE SEVEN PEOPLE, THEY'RE GOING TO STAND IN THE GAP WHEN THINGS GO WRONG. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN THINGS GO WRONG. THEY'RE GOING TO HAND OUT THE PRAISE TO OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THINGS GO WELL. BUT THEY NEED YOU TO GET THEIR BACK. PEOPLE WILL TRY TO DIVIDE US IN THE CITY. BUT AS LONG AS THE SEVEN ELECTED OFFICIALS REMAIN UNITED, AS LONG AS YOU STAND BEHIND THEM, WE CAN COMBAT THOSE EFFECTS AND WE MUST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY THAN THAT, OTHER THAN, FRISCO REMAINS A GREAT CITY. THERE'S SO MUCH PROMISE LEFT IN THE CITY. BUT TO QUOTE THAT IMMORTAL TEXT IN GEORGE STRAIT [LAUGHTER]. AFTER NINE YEARS, IT'S HARD NOT TO THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE. THAT'S WHERE MY HEART IS TONIGHT. I'D SET AND THINK ABOUT THE THINGS I WISH I HAD DONE AND THE LAST GOODBYES ARE ALWAYS THE HARDEST TO SAY. THANKS FRISCO. WELCOME ANGELIA. ENJOY YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE]. WELL-DONE.
