[00:00:01] WELCOME TO THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING OF THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL, WHERE FRISCO CITY HALL, [CALL TO ORDER] THE GEORGE A. PUREFOY MUNICIPAL CENTER AND COUNCIL'S CHAMBER. 6101 FRISCO SQUARE BOULEVARD IN FRISCO, TEXAS. IT IS 5:03 P.M. ON TUESDAY, JUNE. 22ND, 2021. AND I WILL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER. WE ARE JOINED BY THE ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL AND THE FIRST ITEM WOULD BE FOR CITIZEN INPUT. IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ANY ITEM NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA? [2. Consider and act upon the approval of a Master Development Agreement for Facilities (Performing Arts Center, Parking Garage, and Park) by and between City of Frisco, Frisco Independent School District, Frisco Community Development Corporation, and H.P. Frisco Holdings, LLC and authorize the City Manager to execute associated documents referenced in the Master Development Agreement. (CMO/RKP)] SEEING NONE, THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REGULAR SESSION. OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEM TWO IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE APPROVAL OF A MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR FACILITIES, A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, PARKING GARAGE AND PARK BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO, THE FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE FRISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND H.P. FRISCO HOLDINGS LLC, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS REFERENCED IN THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. YES, SIR. THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING, ESPECIALLY ON A SPECIAL MEETING FOR A VERY SPECIAL AGENDA ITEM. SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THAT. ALSO, JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE DO HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD HERE WITH US AND THE ADMINISTRATION AS WELL AS MR. HALL IS IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL. SO I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING. THAT'S IT. I'LL JUMP RIGHT INTO THE PRESENTATION. SO THE PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT ARE THE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, FRISCO CITY OF FRISCO, THE FRISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND MR. HALL. JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, ALL OF THE OTHER ENTITIES HAVE ALREADY MET AND HAVE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED THEIR VARIOUS ITEMS. THE GOALS FOR THIS AGREEMENT ARE TO CREATE A PERFORMING ARTS VENUE THAT IS AT LEAST TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEATS, UP TO FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND A MAIN VENUE AND 250 SEATS UP TO THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY IN THE COMMUNITY VENUE, AND THEN ALSO A PARKING GARAGE OF ELEVEN HUNDRED CAR PARKS. THOSE ELEVEN HUNDRED CAR PARKS WILL BE USED FOR THE PUBLIC EXCUSE ME, FOR THE PUBLIC, THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AS WELL AS PARKING FOR THE PARK AS WELL FOR FUTURE OFFICE BUILDING THAT POTENTIALLY COULD SIT ON TOP OF THAT DUE TO THE AIR RIGHTS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FIVE ACRE PARK. AND WE'RE STILL WORKING ON HOW EXACTLY BIG THAT WILL BE. BUT AGAIN, THAT IS IN THE WORKS AT THIS TIME. SO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, MR. HALL WOULD, THROUGH A FOUNDATION, BUILD A FIVE ACRE PARK, WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT IS KLYDE WARREN-ISH IN TERMS OF THE SCOPE AND AS WELL AS THE PROGRAMING. AS FAR AS THE INVESTMENT THAT HE'S MAKING, IN ADDITION TO THE FIVE ACRES THAT HE IS PROVIDING, HE'S ALSO PROVIDING 15 MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS THE INVESTMENT OF THE ENHANCEMENTS IN THE PARK. HE WOULD ALSO DEDICATE FIVE ACRES FOR THE PAC, PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AND THE GARAGE. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, HE IS WILLING TO PROVIDE TEN MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. THERE IS A NOTE THERE THAT IF HE WERE TO BRING ADDITIONAL BENEFACTORS TO THE TABLE, HE COULD RECEIVE UP TO FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN CREDIT TOWARDS THAT. ALSO, THE OUR LEAD PARTNER ON THIS, THE FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, THE ISD WILL PROVIDE 43 MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS THE MAIN PERFORMANCE HALL. THE 14 MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY TOWARDS THE PAC COMMUNITY VENUE. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE CITY AND THE CDC WILL PROVIDE THIRTY THREE DOLLARS MILLION TOWARDS THE PARKING GARAGE, WHICH, AS I DESCRIBED EARLIER, FOR THOSE VARIOUS USES . 200 OF THOSE SPACES WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR THE PAC 24/7. THE REMAINDER OF THOSE CAN BE USED BY THE OFFICE BUILDING DURING THE DAY. AND THEN AFTER 6:00 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS THE PAC AND THEN ON WEEKENDS AS WELL AS ALL FEDERAL HOLIDAYS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE CITY WILL BE PROVIDING 15 MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK. THAT MEANS THAT THIS PARK WILL BE A LITTLE OVER FIVE ACRES AND WILL BE A 30 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN TERMS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THAT IS A GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE PARK. THE TIMING ON THAT IS OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT. THE JANUARY 3RD, 2022 IS THE DATE BY WHICH WE HAVE AGREED THAT WE WOULD BEGIN DESIGN OF THE FACILITY. AND THAT DESIGN THEN WOULD BE BASED ON WHATEVER DOLLARS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE TIME THAT WE BEGIN THE DESIGN. SO IF THERE ARE OTHER DOLLARS BROUGHT TO THE TABLE FOR ENHANCEMENTS, WHETHER THAT'S FACADE OR OTHER THINGS, THEN THAT WOULD BE UTILIZED. THIS GIVES YOU A BREAKDOWN OF THE FUNDING, A SUMMARY YOU CAN SEE THERE, THE PAC IS AT SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS MILLION. THIRTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE GARAGE FOR A TOTAL OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS MILLION FOR THE FACILITY. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE PARK WITH [00:05:04] THE CONTRIBUTION FROM MR. HALL AS WELL. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOX THERE, THAT MEANS THIS IS ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT OVERALL, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE VALUE OF THE LAND THAT MR. HALL WOULD BE PROVIDING AS WELL, WHICH YOU CAN SEE THERE. THAT'S A SUBSTANTIAL VALUE THERE. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT. THIS JUST GIVES A GRAPHIC OF WHERE THIS WILL BE LAID OUT. THE TWO PURPLE BOXES SHOW WHERE THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, THE MR. HALL, IS GOING TO BE DOING AND THE ADDITIONAL OFFICE BUILDING CLASS, AAA OFFICE BUILDING, AS WELL AS A RESIDENTIAL TOWER AND TWO HOTELS. ALSO, THE PARK HERE THAT WE'VE ALREADY DESCRIBED, YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE SHOWN AND THEN THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER WILL ANCHOR ONE END OF THE PARK. LOOKING DOWN THAT PARK, YOU'LL SEE THE FORD CENTER ACROSS THE OTHER END ALONG WITH THE GARAGE. WITH THAT SAID, I'LL STOP AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. AND SO THIS IS SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME AGREEMENT AS WHAT WE VOTED ON EARLIER IN THE MONTH ? YES, SIR, IT'S SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE MODIFIED RELATED TO HOW WE ARE GOING TO HANDLE CONDOMINIUM REGIME, THOSE TYPE THINGS. WE'VE, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE THE LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF SEATING, YOU KNOW, SOME DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT OVERALL, IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME. I WILL ALSO SAY THAT IT'S BEEN A GREAT JOURNEY WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MR. HALL TO GET HERE AND BRING THIS TO YOU TODAY. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY TO YOU THAT THE PREVIOUS AGREEMENT WILL JUST SIT IDLE AND WILL AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITH THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER EXECUTED. SO THIS WILL REPLACE THAT. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. WELL, BEFORE MAYBE WE HAVE COMMENTS. WAS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. NOT ALL AT ONCE. ALL RIGHT, I THANK YOU ALL HAVE HAD YOUR COMMENTS AND MANY OF YOUR OWN SESSIONS AND MEETINGS THAT YOU ALREADY HAD. I'LL JUST, YOU KNOW, QUICKLY START AND CERTAINLY THANK ALL OF OUR GREAT PARTNERS. YOU KNOW, WE SPEAK OF A CITY, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE CITY THAT HAS MASTERED THE ART OF PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. THERE'S NO ONE IN THE COUNTRY THAT DOES IT BETTER THAN FRISCO, TEXAS. AND TODAY WE'RE CELEBRATING JUST ANOTHER GREAT PARTNERSHIP ALONG THOSE LINES. THE OUTCOMES ARE BETTER VALUE TO OUR CITIZENS AND BETTER PROJECTS AND FACILITIES. AND SO WE'VE DONE IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND HAVE PROVEN IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WANT TO THANK OUR PARTNERS WITH FRISCO ISD. CERTAINLY THEY GOT THIS PROJECT STARTED WITH THE BOND PACKAGE THAT THEY PUT OUT TO OUR CITIZENS THAT WERE VOTED ON OVERWHELMINGLY IN SUPPORT OF, OF COURSE, THOSE SAME CITIZENS SUPPORTED OUR BOND PACKAGE AS A CITY. I WANT TO THANK OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR THE INVESTMENTS YOU'RE MAKING IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THIS PROJECT AS WELL. SO THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT. BUT CERTAINLY ALSO OUR PRIVATE PARTNER, MR. CRAIG HALL, SOMEONE WHO STARTED INVESTING IN FRISCO, TEXAS, BEFORE I THINK FRISCO EXISTED HARDLY A LONG TIME AGO WITH A LONG RANGE VISION, PROBABLY NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BECOME EVEN THIS WITH HIS VISION THAT HE HAD FOR THE CITY, BUT ALSO HIS COMMITMENT TO ARTS HERE IN FRISCO. AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PROJECT AND HELPING IT BECOME A REALITY. THE FINAL OUTCOME, IN MY OPINION, IS GOING TO BE A PROJECT UNRIVALED AS FAR AS HAVING A FACILITY LIKE THIS IN A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS HALL PARK ATTACHED TO THE STAR AND THE FORD CENTER, AND REALLY, TRULY BLENDING SPORTS WITH ART, WHERE TWO VENUES WILL LOOK ACROSS AN INCREDIBLE BOARDWALK AND PARK SPACE AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR PARK FACILITY. YOU SAY KLYDE WARREN, LIKE, I'D LIKE TO THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN BETTER THAN KLYDE WARREN AND CERTAINLY HAVING THIS FACILITY ATTACHED TO IT, THAT'S GOING TO CREATE SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL FROM A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE. BUT WHAT I'M MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT'S GOING TO GIVE OUR STUDENTS HERE IN FRISCO, TEXAS. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SPEAK ABOUT AND I SPEAK ABOUT ALL THE TIME IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CEILING OF THIS COMMUNITY IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE DEFINED BY WHAT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES, BECAUSE THAT IS WHY PEOPLE MOVE HERE. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT'S BEEN THE REASON, FRISCO'S SECRET FORMULA FOR SUCCESS IS THE FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND REALLY ALL OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS NOW THAT WE HAVE IN THIS CITY AND, YOU KNOW, MANY OF OUR ATHLETES HAVE HAD OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE ALL COULD HAVE ONLY DREAMED OF HAVING GROWING UP AS KIDS TO BE ABLE TO WATCH MY TWO SONS PLAY IN FACILITIES LIKE THE STAR AND TOYOTA STADIUM. YOU KNOW, I COULD HAVE ONLY DREAMED OF THAT AS A KID, YOU KNOW, AND NOW ARE OUR ARTISTS, OUR MUSICIANS, YOU KNOW, ALL OF OUR ARTS PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO HAVE THOSE SAME [00:10:02] OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO DEFINE THEIR CRAFTS AND THEIR SKILLS IN A WORLD CLASS FACILITIES RIGHT HERE IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. SO I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT. THIS FACILITY IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT I KNOW IS GOING BE PROUD OF. THE STUDENTS THAT ARE ABLE TO USE IT AND LEARN ARE GOING TO BE PROUD OF. IT'S GOING TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THIS COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, MANY OF THE COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL SPEAK ON THAT WE WERE TRYING TO FILL THIS NEED THROUGH OUR BOND PROGRAM WILL BE MET AND CERTAINLY THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND WHAT IT CAN BRING TO OUR PROGRAMS HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO IT IS A TRUE WIN WIN WIN FOR THE PUBLIC HERE IN FRISCO, TEXAS. OUR TAXPAYERS HERE, NOT JUST FROM THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT IT'S GOING TO BRING, BUT CERTAINLY THE HALO EFFECT THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO CREATE AROUND THIS AREA. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. THE ARTS IN FRISCO HAS HAD A LONG AND WINDING ROAD. AND I SAID IT AT THE LAST MEETING THAT I WAS SITTING ON THIS DAIS, YOU KNOW, THE NIGHT THAT THE ARTS OF COLLIN COUNTY BONDS WERE REVOKED AND THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE UPSET. IT WAS A VOTE THAT WAS LIKE FIFTY ONE TO FORTY NINE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WANTED ARTS IN FRISCO. BUT WHAT THAT VOTE TOLD US IS THEY WANTED THE ARTS CENTER TO BE IN FRISCO. AND SO IT TOOK ANOTHER DECADE FOR US TO DELIVER ON THAT PROMISE. BUT TODAY IS A CELEBRATION OF A DECADES LONG, HARD WORK FROM THIS ENTIRE TEAM, FROM OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM, FROM GEORGE RYAN AND OTHERS, AND OF COURSE, OUR PARTNERS ARE ALREADY MENTIONED. SO, AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING GREAT PARTNERS. THANK YOU FOR THE TRUSTEES AND DR. WALTER FOR BEING HERE TO SUPPORT US. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR COUNCIL FOR ANY OTHER COMMENTS. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT, BUT I THINK MY BIGGEST THING IS I'D LIKE TO THANK THE PARTNERS THAT WE DO HAVE IN THIS MR. HALL FOR BEING ONE OF THE FIRST IN FRISCO WITH OFFICE PARK TO BEGIN WITH, AND THEN YOUR WILLINGNESS AND DESIRE TO REINVENT YOURSELF AND IMPROVE THAT AND MAKE IT THAT MUCH BETTER, BUT ESPECIALLY TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUR TRUSTEES THAT ARE IN THE AUDIENCE WITH US TONIGHT. TRULY, THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE IS WITH YOU GUYS. AND WE'VE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT FRISCO HAS BECAUSE OF THAT PARTNERSHIP. SO THANK YOU. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS GETTING BUILT. SO THANK YOU, MR. HALL, FOR CONTINUING TO INVEST IN FRISCO. AND I'VE SAID IT BEFORE. I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. FRISCO ISD IS THE CROWN JEWEL OF FRISCO. THEY'RE A WONDERFUL PARTNER. AND NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE INCREDIBLE SPORTS FACILITIES, WE WILL NOW HAVE A WORLD CLASS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER BECAUSE OF OUR PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. THIS INVESTMENT IN PERFORMING ARTS SHOWCASES WHY FRISCO IS THE BEST CITY TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES AND RAISE A FAMILY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING THIS FOR US. I'M EQUALLY AS EXCITED ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS, HAVING SAT ON THE BOARD OF THE FRISCO YOUTH THEATER MANY YEARS AGO, FINDING SPACE FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO PERFORM THEIR CRAFT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. AND IN MANY CASES, THE STUDENTS WHO ENGAGED IN PERFORMING ARTS FELT LIKE THE STEPCHILDREN OF THE CITY SINCE OUR CITY WAS SO FOCUSED ON SPORTS. AND NOW TO HAVE THIS FACILITY IN OUR BACKYARD IS JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AND NOT ONLY IS IT EXCITING FOR OUR STUDENTS, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO ENGAGE IN PERFORMING ARTS IN A WAY THAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE CITY TO ENGAGE IN IS ALSO JUST INCREDIBLE. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS PARTNERSHIP AND MR. HALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY. I THINK IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO HAVE SUCH A PHILANTHROPIC PARTNER IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OUR CRYSTALIZED PARTNERSHIPS. IT'S AMAZING. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW VENTURE. I WENT TO THE LUNCH, I WENT TO LUNCH TODAY WITH GEORGE AT THE STAR, AND AT THE END OF IT HE WALKED ME TO THE CURB. THEY ACTUALLY TRIED TO WALK ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, BUT I REFUSED. WE WERE LOOKING DOWN INTO WHERE THIS IS GOING TO BE. AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN AMAZING DEVELOPMENT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE STAR IN THIS TOGETHER AND ALL THE ENERGY AND ACTIVITY WILL HAVE THERE. SO THAT WAS IT WAS FUN TO LOOK AT THAT RIGHT BEFORE WE CAME IN TO VOTE. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THINK FISD FOR DOING THIS, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I KNOW I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT IF IT WAS ALL PUT ON THE CITY. THANK YOU, MR. HALL, FOR HELPING THIS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY AND WELL. I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST EXAMPLE I'VE SEEN OF A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FISD, BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T THINK IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. [00:15:01] I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE FIGURED IT OUT WITHOUT THESE PARTNERS. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. MY DAUGHTERS APPRECIATE IT. THERE WILL BE BIG USERS OF THIS. SO I THINK WE ARE A BETTER AND MORE COMPLETE CITY BECAUSE OF THIS. AND I'M EXCITED TO BE A SMALL PART OF IT. RON, I CAN BARELY SEE YOU THERE. TWO QUICK QUESTIONS. ARE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SEATING CAPACITY? I THINK I'VE ALWAYS KIND OF HEARD IT AS A SEATING MINIMUM OF ABOUT TWELVE FIFTY. CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT? YES, SIR. AS WE, AS I BRIEFED IN SOME EXECUTIVE SESSIONS THAT THERE IS A DESIRE THAT IT NOT BE GO BEYOND THE FIFTEEN HUNDRED. AND SO THAT IS NOW CAPTURED IN THIS AGREEMENT. OK, AND THAT IN THAT SAME SPIRIT THERE WAS ALSO DISCUSSION ABOUT FUNDRAISING AND BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL PRIVATE MONEY. AND I THINK THERE WERE AT LEAST ONE GROUP THAT WAS INTERESTED IN RAISING FUNDS TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND LITERALLY TENS OF MILLIONS WITH A HOPE OF RAISING OR INCREASING THE SEATING SIZE. SO HAS, IS THERE ANY NEW LANGUAGE ABOUT FUNDRAISING OR HOW FUNDRAISING WOULD BE THOSE PRIVATE DOLLARS, IF ANY, WERE COLLECTED IN THAT AMOUNT OR IN ANY AMOUNT? HOW WOULD THOSE BE APPLIED? SO THE THERE IS LANGUAGE THAT TALKS ABOUT THAT RELATED TO BEING A DEADLINE THAT JANUARY 3RD DATE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE KNOW THAT BASED ON WHERE WE ARE TODAY, IT IS GOING TO BE AN EFFORT TO GET BEYOND THE TWELVE FIFTY BUDGETARILY. AND SO ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS COULD COME IN TO HELP PUSH THAT BEYOND THAT 1250 UP TOWARDS THAT 1500 AS WELL AS PERHAPS OTHER ENHANCEMENTS FACADE, THOSE TYPE THINGS. TYPE OF EQUIPMENT USED SOUND, LIGHT. YES, SIR. OR THE ABILITY TO MOVE SETS AROUND AND CREATE SMALLER SPACES, ADJUST SEATING THE MORE INTIMATE ENVIRONMENT OR FULL THROTTLE WITH A CAP OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED ON THE SEATING? YES ON THE SEATING. OK. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT I HAD SOME QUESTIONS, I THINK COMING OUT OF THE FISD MEETING THIS MORNING THAT THOSE WERE THE I THINK THE TWO MAIN POINTS THAT WERE CHANGED LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SORT OF ANCILLARY AND IN LINE WITH WHAT COUNCIL'S VISION, CDC'S VISION, WHAT THE PUBLIC'S VISION IS. SO I APPLAUD THE EFFORT. AND A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THIS. I THINK, YOU KNOW, JEFF ALWAYS SCOLDS ME ANY TIME I BRING UP THE ACC. AND HE CERTAINLY BROUGHT IT UP TONIGHT. I THINK IT WAS SITTING IN THIS SEAT ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO WHEN WE AND IT WAS MARCH 1ST OF 2011 WHEN WE VOTED ON THAT. AND THAT WAS ON THE MAY BALLOT. I THINK THIS IS A ALLOW ME, IF YOU WILL, TO SAY THIS IS A FAR BETTER FAR SUPERIOR PRODUCT, FUNDED THE RIGHT WAY WITH THE RIGHT PARTNERS, WITH A WORLD CLASS OUTCOME HAS BEEN MENTIONED ALREADY. TO MR. HALL, I WOULD THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I APPLAUD YOUR VISION AND CERTAINLY YOUR PATIENCE. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PERHAPS WOULD NOT ALWAYS BE ACCUSED OF MOVING AT THE SPEED OF GOVERNMENT, BUT WE DO. I KNOW YOU MOVE AT A MUCH FASTER PACE, CERTAINLY WITH SOME OF THE SAME NUMBERS AND CHALLENGES WE HAVE. AND THE DISTRICT HAS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN AMERICA. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I WILL CERTAINLY LEND MY SUPPORT TONIGHT TO IT, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ARTS AND HOW THIS FACILITY WILL BE USED. SO I ALSO APPLAUD THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO OPEN THOSE DOORS LITERALLY TO THE COMMUNITY AND, YOU KNOW, THE RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET, NOT JUST FOR OUR KIDS, BUT AS ADULTS AS WELL AS WE GO IN TO WATCH THEM PERFORM AND THEN, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY WATCH SOME OF THESE WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCES COMING TO TOWN AND EVERYONE DISCOVERS SORT OF THE RICH DIVERSITY OF CULTURE AND THINKING AND ARCHITECTURE AND MUSIC AND THEATER AND CERTAINLY WITH SPORTS. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY YOUR HARD WORK, YOUR PATIENCE, YOUR VISION. I THINK IT'S GOING TO COME TOGETHER RIGHT HERE IN FRISCO AND NOT IN SOME OTHER TOWN. I THINK MAYOR HIT SO MUCH ABOUT THE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, AND FRISCO HAS DONE THAT SO WELL FOR SO LONG THAT I DON'T THINK WE TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT A GIFT THAT IS AND REALLY WHAT IT TAKES TO GET HERE. AND SO THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS. I KNOW WE'VE MENTIONED IT AND WE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MR. HALL AND JUST THE WAY YOU'VE INVESTED IN FRISCO OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT ALSO TO [00:20:05] THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. I'M ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES THAT MOVED HERE 20 YEARS AGO FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND I HAVE NEVER DOUBTED THAT DECISION ONCE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT YOU ALL HAVE CONTINUED TO GROW THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE RIGHT WAY. AND SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BENEFIT. I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO COME AND FOR OUR STUDENTS OVER THE YEARS, AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AND SAY WE DID IT AND WE DID IT WELL, BECAUSE WE DID IT WHERE IT BENEFITED EACH OF THE IMPORTANT PARTNERS IN THIS. AND I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE COMMUNITY GROUPS WHO DESPERATELY SPOKE OUT IN 2015 FOR THESE BOND DOLLARS THAT ARE NOW BEING USED. AND BILL AND I HEARD OVER AND OVER AND OVER FROM THOSE COMMUNITY GROUPS ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT HAVING A COMMUNITY PLACE FOR THEM TO AFFORD TO PERFORM WAS NEEDED RIGHT HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND SO I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO NOT ONLY HAVE JUST A GREAT PLACE WHERE THEY CAN AFFORD, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM THAT'S GOING TO JUST BLOW THEM OUT OF THE WATER. SO I'M EXCITED FOR THAT AS WELL. EACH OF OUR SMALLER COMMUNITY GROUPS. THANK YOU FOR THE PATIENCE AND GETTING HERE, AND LET'S ROLL. LET'S DO IT. IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. SO MOVED. SECOND MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY BILL, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU AGAIN. AND WITH THAT, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SO MOVED. MOTION BY JOHN SECONDED BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSED 6-0. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 5:25 P.M. MR. MAYOR. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
