AND IF YOU WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING REAL QUICK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE OR WHAT YOU LEARN, [00:15:01] WE'D LOVE TO HEAR IT. SO WE'RE GOING TO START DOWN HERE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ETHAN REINHART. I ATTEND HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL. AND ONE THING I LEARNED FROM TEXAS BOYS STATE IS THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION AND MAKE CONNECTIONS BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT LATER AND IN LIFE. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE]. I'M A STUDENT AT INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL AND I'D SAY THE BIGGEST THING I LEARNED FROM BOYS STATE IS DEFINITELY HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT SOMEONE CAN MAKE IF THEY'RE COMMITTED TO THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND, YOU KNOW, SEEKING A POSITION OF POLITICAL OFFICE. SO I REALLY DO THINK THAT WHEN YOU'RE IN THOSE OFFICES, YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF CHANGE FOR PEOPLE. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE], I AM ALSO COMING FROM INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM BOYS STATE IS THAT IN TODAY'S WORLD, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS, ESPECIALLY IN GOVERNMENT. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF AND SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY NEED TO JUST KIND OF TAKE IN AND REALIZE THAT HAVING OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN LEAD TO A BETTER SOLUTION OVERALL, BECAUSE WE CAN GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING FROM EVERYONE AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM AND JUST BECOME A MORE UNIFIED OVERALL AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, MY NAME IS COOPER [INAUDIBLE], I ATTEND LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL, SOMETHING I LEARNED AT BOYS STATE IS HOW MUCH YOU CAN TRULY DISCOVER AND ACHIEVE WHEN YOU DON'T LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER FOR YOUR DIFFERENCES, BUT RATHER FOR YOUR SIMILARITIES. [APPLAUSE] GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS CHARLIE ZANG. AND LIKE COOPER, I ALSO ATTEND LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL. I THINK THE BIGGEST THING I LEARNED FROM BOYS STATE IS THE IMPORTANCE OF CONFIDENCE AND PUBLIC SPEAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TALKING TO SO MANY PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW AND ALSO FINDING THE MIDDLE GROUND WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] HEY, EVERYONE, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE]AND I'M ALSO A STUDENT AT INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THE BIGGEST THING THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM TEXAS BOYS STATE WAS THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPROMISING WITH EACH OTHER AS A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE. WE OFTEN DISCUSSED AND DEBATED DIFFERENT POLICIES AND BILLS THAT WE WROTE. AND IN ORDER TO KIND OF ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING AND HAVE AN END RESULT, WE HAD TO KIND OF COMPROMISE WITH EACH OTHER AND TALK TO EACH OTHER TO FIGURE OUT A GOOD SOLUTION. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE BIGGEST THING THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM BOYS STATE. HI, GUYS, MY NAME IS RUSH MCCOWEN, I GO TO LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, AND WHAT I MOST ENJOYED FROM BOYS STATE THIS YEAR WAS GETTING TO MEET SO MANY AWESOME AND DRIVEN YOUNG MEN FROM ALL ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS. WE WERE ABLE TO FORM SUCH A VERY CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITY. AND I KNOW I'LL CONTINUE TO TALK TO THESE GUYS LATER ON IN LIFE. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, MY NAME IS ASHTON [INAUDIBLE], I ATTEND MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL, AND ONE THING I LEARNED ABOUT DURING MY EXPERIENCE WAS JUST IN GENERAL COMMUNICATION, SPEAKING WITH GROUPS OF PEOPLE LARGER THAN I WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE AND WITH PEOPLE WHOSE OPINIONS I MIGHT NOT HAVE COMPLETELY AGREED WITH. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS GRAND MARSHAL. I GO TO FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL AND IN MY TIME AT BOYS STATE, I LEARNED ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION THAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT INTO AND MAINTAIN OFFICE. SO GREAT JOB TO THE COUNCIL. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, EVERYONE, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE], AND THE BIGGEST THING I TOOK AWAY FROM BOYS STATE WAS REALLY THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS. WE'RE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH MORE WHEN WE WORK WITH EACH OTHER AS OPPOSED TO WORKING BY OURSELVES. SO MAKING SURE WE BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS IS SO IMPORTANT TO MAKING POSITIVE CHANGE. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, EVERYONE, I'M THOMAS DAVIES FROM WAKELAND HIGH SCHOOL, AND THE THING THAT I LEARNED IS THAT IT'S IT'S OK TO FAIL AND IT'S OK TO FAIL AS LONG AS YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES AND YOU CAN GET BACK UP STRONGER AND SUCCEED BETTER FROM THOSE LESSONS. [APPLAUSE] HI THERE MY NAME IS JACOB [INAUDIBLE], I GO TO [INAUDIBLE] HIGH SCHOOL, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS I HAD WAS WE HAD A EX-CIA UNDERCOVER OPERATIVE WHO CAME TO TALK WITH US AND HE SPOKE ON HOW TEXAS IN THE UNITED STATES WILL FACE MANY CHALLENGES IN THE COMING YEARS, DECADES. AND AS TIME GOES ON, HE KNOWS THAT PEOPLE LIKE US ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES TO COME UP TO THOSE CHALLENGES AND TAKE THEM ON AND BEAT THEM. AND I'M VERY, VERY GRATEFUL THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH ALL THESE MEN RIGHT HERE. SO THANK Y'ALL. THANK Y'ALL. [APPLAUSE] MY NAME IS COLLIN [INAUDIBLE]. I GO TO WAKELAND HIGH SCHOOL, AND WHAT I LEARNED IN BOYS STATE IS JUST ABOUT THE VALUE THAT CAN BE FOUND IN SPEAKING YOUR MIND, EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR OPINIONS ARE GOING TO BE UNPOPULAR, AND ESPECIALLY WHENEVER YOU KNOW YOUR OPINIONS ARE GOING TO BE UNPOPULAR, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THE WAY THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND FIND NEW SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS THAT WE FACE EVERY DAY. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, EVERYONE, MY NAME IS TY [INAUDIBLE]AND I ATTEND [INAUDIBLE] HIGH [00:20:04] SCHOOL. THE BIGGEST THING I TOOK AWAY FROM BOYS STATE IS THAT CIVIL DISCOURSE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF OUR GOVERNMENT. WITHOUT CIVIL DISCOURSE, WE REALLY DON'T LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER. WE DON'T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER'S EXPERIENCES. AND IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER EXPERIENCES AND LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS, THEN IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE FORWARD AS A SUCCESSFUL SOCIETY. [APPLAUSE] HEY, GUYS, MY NAME IS JERRY [INAUDIBLE] I ALSO GO TO WAKELAND HIGH SCHOOL, AND I THINK THE MOST VALUABLE LESSON I GOT OUT OF BOYS STATE WAS IT'S BEEN STATED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T AGREE WITH YOU AND WHO HAVE DIFFERING VIEWS THAN YOU. IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT. SO YOU CAN EXPLORE OTHER FIELDS OF LIFE AND. YEAH.[APPLAUSE] MY NAME IS TYLER YEARWOOD, I'M THE LAST OF THE THREE FROM [INAUDIBLE] HIGH SCHOOL AND AN IMPORTANT QUOTE I HEARD THROUGHOUT THE WEEK WAS TO DIG A WELL BEFORE YOU'RE THIRSTY AND I'LL LET YOU I'LL MAKE WHAT YOU WANT OF THAT. BUT IT HAS DEFINITELY HELPED ME IN TIMES AFTER OF BEING DESPERATE AND ET CETERA. [APPLAUSE] HI, GUYS, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE], AND THE BIGGEST THING I LEARNED FROM BOYS STATE IS PROBABLY THAT HOW MUCH DEDICATION AND WORK AND COLLABORATION IT TAKES TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. ALSO, I'M FROM CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL. SORRY, I FORGOT TO SAY THAT. [APPLAUSE] SO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THERE'S A SONG THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO LEARN AND SING AS PART OF BOYS STATE, AND IT'S BECOME AN ANNUAL TRADITION THAT YOU SHARE WITH OUR GUESTS THE SONG. SO YOU GUYS READY? ALL RIGHT, LET'S HEAR IT. THAT WE LOVE. [APPLAUSE] WE DO HAVE ONE MORE SPECIAL PROCLAMATION HERE, WHICH READS. [6.

AND I PERSONALLY, I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER. AND I KNOW THAT GROUP OF 100 BOYS WILL NEVER BE IN THE SAME ROOM AGAIN. IT WAS THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL, AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE YOU CAN LEARN SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE. HANDS DOWN. [APPLAUSE] GOOD EVENING, I'M LARRY WILHELM, I'M THE BOYS STATE CHAIR FOR PETER DE [INAUDIBLE], POST 178 AMERICAN LEGION.

HE IS THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY ADMINISTERED MY VACCINE AND MY FAMILY'S VACCINE. AND LITERALLY, I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT. I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL THE SHOT. AND HE SAID, I'M DONE. AND I THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING. I WAS LIKE, NO, YOU REALLY DONE. I WAS LIKE, YOU MUST BE THE MOST SKILLED SHOT GIVER LIKE IN THE WORLD. I DON'T KNOW. WOULD LOVE TO JUST HEAR FROM YOU AS FAR AS WHAT WORKING FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO HAS MEANT TO YOU. SO IN 20 YEARS, YOU SEE YOU SEE A LOT OF CHANGE, ESPECIALLY IN THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE NATION. ONE THING THAT HASN'T CHANGED IS THE LEVEL OF TALENT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DEPARTMENT. THE FRISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT'S BEEN AWESOME. THE MEN AND WOMEN I WORK WITH, I'M HUMBLED EVERY DAY BY THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE WITH THEM AND SERVE THIS GREAT COMMUNITY. IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN. AND ALSO, IF I COULD BE ANY SUPERHERO, I'D BE THE INCREDIBLE HULK. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND JUMP INTO CITIZEN INPUT IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT, I THINK WE HAVE SOME CARDS THAT HAVE BEEN FILLED OUT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE OUR CITY COUNCIL TO INVESTIGATE, DESIGN AND FIND AN ANIMAL SHELTER TO TAKE CARE OF THESE POOR BABIES UNTIL THEY CAN BE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES, WE'RE A MODERN CITY. AND WE CERTAINLY CAN DO BETTER, I THINK, IN TAKING CARE OF OUR ANIMALS. SO THANK YOU. AND THAT'S ALL I LIKE TO SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GALE STEVENS. HELLO, GOOD EVENING, NICE TO SEE ALL OF YOU, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU AGAIN, AS ALWAYS, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, WHICH IS SO CRUCIAL. AND IT WAS REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THOSE KIDS, THE SMALL ONES FIRST AND THE OLDER ONES, BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT. AND COMING TOGETHER, LISTENING TO THOSE MESSAGES WAS REALLY IMPORTANT. WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT AN UPDATE ON COVID HERE IN FRISCO, IN COLLIN COUNTY, ESPECIALLY THE HOSPITALS. AND I JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GET VACCINATED BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND. WE REALLY HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY INTENTIONAL IN HOW WE ARE TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER. THANK YOU. SO CAN I CAN WE GET AN UPDATE? YES. I MEAN, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIALS ARE MONITORING THE SITUATION WITH REGARDS TO COVID, ALONG WITH OUR HOSPITALS, OUR REGIONAL HOSPITALS. YOU KNOW, IT IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY WE'RE KEEPING A MINDFUL EYE ON AND SHARE THE CONCERNS THAT MANY IN THE PUBLIC HAVE AS FAR AS THOSE RAPIDLY SPREADING [00:35:03] DELTA VARIANT. YOU KNOW, WE AGREE THAT WE HOPE AS MANY CITIZENS AS POSSIBLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR VACCINATION OPPORTUNITIES. AND WE'RE LOOKING AS A CITY AS FAR AS FUTURE EVENTS, JUST DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS CONTINUE TO GO, WHETHER WE START SCALING SOME OF THOSE BACK. BUT WE'LL BE HAVING KIND OF MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT PRECAUTIONS THE CITY'S TAKING AS WE MOVE FORWARD HERE IN THE COMING WEEKS. OK, AND DO WE KNOW IN TERMS OF HOSPITAL BEDS, ESPECIALLY AMONG CHILDREN, WHAT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR BOTH FRISCO AND COLLIN COUNTY? BECAUSE WE HAVE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. SO ON OUR WEBSITE, WE ACTUALLY DO POST THAT INFORMATION. AND SO WE HAVE A PAGE DEDICATED TO IT. IT'S FRISCOTEXAS.GOV/CORONAVIRUS, I THINK. OR IF YOU JUST GO TO THE HOMEPAGE, IT'S THE FIRST THING ON THE HOMEPAGE. AND IN THAT IT DOES HAVE LINKS TO ALL THE DATA THAT IS BEING TRACKED, INCLUDING THE HOSPITALIZATION BED RIGHT HERE IN THE REGION. I BELIEVE TODAY IT WAS SITTING AT AROUND 19 OR JUST UNDER 20 PERCENT, YOU KNOW, SO IT IS CERTAINLY A NUMBER WE'RE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON. BUT THOSE WILL BE HELPFUL LINKS. AND WE POST ALL THAT INFORMATION AND OF COURSE, ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A CITY. WE ALSO POST RELEVANT UPDATES TO KEEP OUR CITIZENS UPDATED. SO. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU AGAIN TO EACH OF YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE ONE LAST CARD FOR PAUL RIDDLE. COME ON DOWN. THERE WE GO, AND I BROKE IT. ANYWAY, AND I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT THE FIRST LADY SAYS, BUT I MIGHT BE ECHOING THAT A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN MAYOR CHENEY, ACTUALLY, OUR KIDS ARE FRIENDS, BLAKE RIDDLE. I THINK YOU KNOW HIM AS WELL. YEAH, OF COURSE. AND EVERYBODY ELSE TO RECOGNIZE FACES. BUT AS A 20 YEAR RESIDENT. THIS IS MY FIRST TRIP HERE. SO ANYWAY, GLAD TO BE HERE. LIKE TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. BUT AS I SAID, 20 YEAR RESIDENT, ALL MY KIDS HAVE GONE TO IFSD. THE YOUNGEST IS A JUNIOR AT MEMORIAL. MY WIFE WORKS [INAUDIBLE] ISD. WHEN WE GOT HERE 20 YEARS AGO, WE HAD THE ONE HIGH SCHOOL. NOW WE'RE AT 12, HEADING TO 13. I BELIEVE WE HAD THIS KIND OF BAD JOKE. BUT WHAT WE HAVE THREE APARTMENT COMPLEXES NOW. WE HAVE A FEW MORE. ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE JOKE. SO WE HAVE A FEW MORE. BUT ANYWAY, MY MAIN POINT HERE IS I OWN [INAUDIBLE] MAGAZINE INNOVATIVE DIRECT MEDIA. AND I HAD A STORY COME TO ME BACK EARLIER THIS YEAR FROM YEAH. I'M SURE YOU RECOGNIZE THE LADY'S NAME MARLA FIELDS WITH FRISCO'S PET PROJECT. AND IT KIND OF IS A PET OWNER MYSELF AND A DAD AND COACH AND YOU NAME IT. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST STUCK TO ME A LITTLE BIT. SO I THOUGHT ONE THING WE DON'T HAVE WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE, WE HAD, WHAT, 40000 PEOPLE? NOW WE'RE ZEROING IN ON A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND, BUT WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CITY RUN ANIMAL SHELTER AND ADOPTION CENTER. SO THAT WAS THE MAIN THING IS JUST I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT WITH ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF ADVISORY BOARD THAT IS IN ACTION, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GREAT. IF NOT, MAYBE THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED. AND I GUESS IN CLOSING AS WELL, [INAUDIBLE] PETLAND. I'M PRO-BUSINESS, BUT PUPPY MILLS SALES IS BAD BUSINESS IN MY OPINION. SO THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY. AND JUST MAYBE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PET SITUATION AND WHAT WE CAN DO FROM THERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DOING CITIZEN INPUT? OK, THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REPORT SECTION ITEM EIGHT IS A BIKE PRESENTATION [8. Bike Presentation to Frisco Police Department from Frisco Bicycle Advisory Committee.] TO FRISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT FROM THE FRISCO BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO YOU WANT TO BRING IT UP? I THINK SOME OF US HAVE CHIP IN TO DONATE TO CHARITY TO SEE THEM RIDE IT DOWN THE STEPS. OUR INSURANCE POLICY DOESN'T COVER THAT. ALL RIGHT, JOE, YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN TO EVERYONE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? I AM. I'M WITH [INAUDIBLE] TRAIL CYCLING CLUB, WE'RE BASED HERE IN FRISCO, TEXAS, ONE OF THE LARGEST CYCLING ORGANIZATIONS IN NORTH TEXAS. AND WE STARTED ABOUT NINE, TEN YEARS AGO TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. IT'S NICE TO ALWAYS GET THE PROCLAMATIONS AND THINGS, BUT IT'S ALSO GOOD TO SAY THANK YOU THAT WE'VE DONE THAT THROUGH SOME DONATIONS, REPAIR STANDS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND ACTUALLY, THANKS TO THIS OFFICER HERE, ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, WE WERE MADE AWARE THAT A LOT OF THE POLICE BIKE PATROLS HAD BIKES IN DISREPAIR. YOU KNOW, THEY WEREN'T SUPPLIED WITH ENOUGH BIKES. SO WE KIND OF TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES AS PART OF THE DONATION PROGRAM TO GIVE BACK AND SAY [00:40:01] THANKS IN A VERY, VERY SMALL WAY FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS DO FOR US. AND IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED. SO THIS YEAR, WE DONATE ACTUALLY SIX OF THESE ONE OF THESE GOING TO FRISCO. BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH WHAT YOU DO. [INAUDIBLE] [APPLAUSE] WELL, WE'RE WE ARE IN BUDGET TIME RIGHT NOW, SO EVERY AMOUNT IS APPRECIATED. BUT, CHIEF, ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD OR? I'LL JUST SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON BEHALF OF THE FRISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT THE USE OF OFFICERS ON BIKES HAS CERTAINLY BEEN ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE'VE EXPANDED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. WE CAN WE CAN CERTAINLY BE VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE IN AREAS LIKE THE STORE AROUND THE MALL. WE'VE BEEN VERY PROACTIVE ON THE BIKE. SO THIS CERTAINLY WILL HELP IN THAT ENDEAVOR. AND WE APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE DONATION OF THE BIKE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHIEF. THANK YOU, JOE. APPRECIATE IT. YEAH. NOW, WHO'S RIDING IT OFF?

I'LL START WITH JUST KIND OF A BRIEF OVERVIEW WHERE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE PROGRESS IN MOTION VIDEO THAT THE CITY PUT OUT RELATED TO OUR URBAN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PLAN. THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY NEEDED AS WE'VE GROWN INTO THE HABITAT OF A LOT OF OUR WILDLIFE HERE IN FRISCO. AND SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW. REALLY, THE GOAL OF THIS PLAN IS TO PROVIDE A BALANCE BECAUSE WE'RE MOVING IN AND DEVELOPING SOME OF THOSE HABITATS OF SOME OF THE THE NATIVE ANIMALS HERE. AND WE PUT THIS PLAN TOGETHER WITH A VARIETY OF TRUSTED SOURCES. AND SOME OF THOSE ARE LISTED THERE. YOU KNOW, REALLY SOME OF THE THE BIG THING IS, IS JUST REALLY TO KIND OF GIVE AN UNDERSTANDING AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, MAY SEEM LIKE YOU MIGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ANIMAL THAT YOU FEEL LIKE NEEDS TO BE TRAPPED. BUT SOMETIMES IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMIND FOLKS THAT TRAPPING ISN'T ALWAYS HUMANE. AND THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS WHY. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE HEAT IN TEXAS, AN ANIMAL PUT IN A TRAP OR STUCK IN A TRAP WILL PROBABLY DIE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. RELOCATING THEM ISN'T A LONG TERM SOLUTION BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL JUST COME BACK. OR, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU GET RID OF THINGS LIKE RAT SNAKES, YOU CAN PROBABLY EXPECT RATS. SO THAT DOESN'T TRADING ONE PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO JUST LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THIS NEW PLAN WILL WE WILL CONTINUE ANIMAL SERVICES WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT THEM WHEN THERE'S DANGEROUS ANIMALS OR ANIMALS THAT POSE A THREAT. AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO ALL THE THINGS RELATED TO COYOTES AND TRACKING THEM. AND THAT'S DETAILED IN THE PLAN AS WELL, IT'S VERY DETAILED, COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. SO IF THE PUBLIC HAS ANY ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, FEEL FREE TO CALL OUR ANIMAL SERVICES DIVISION. THEY'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE. I ALSO WANTED TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT FRISCO CAN. SINCE THAT WAS THIS PAST WEEKEND. IT WAS A SUCCESS. WE HAD OVER 30 BLOCK PARTIES AND IT WAS GOOD JUST TO TO TO SEE ALL THE THE NEIGHBORS INTERACTING AND GETTING OUT OF THEIR HOUSE. AND WE HAD GREAT WEATHER FOR IT. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS. IT'S, YOU KNOW, JUST GETTING NEIGHBORS TO MEET EACH OTHER SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. AND THAT'S VERY EFFECTIVE TOOL IN FIGHTING CRIME IS JUST HAVING NEIGHBORS THAT THAT PAY ATTENTION. AND IF SOMETHING LOOKS OUT OF PLACE, BEING ABLE TO REPORT THOSE THINGS OR SHOW CONCERN. SO ALSO A GREAT WAY TO WELCOME PEOPLE THAT ARE NEW TO FRISCO. WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW RESIDENTS. AND SO THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO TO INTRODUCE THEM TO OUR COMMUNITY AND GET TO KNOW SOME PEOPLE. I'LL SHARE THAT. YOU KNOW, THIS WAS AN EFFORT THAT WAS NOT JUST US VERY THANKFUL TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY'RE ALWAYS A GREAT PARTNER AND MAKING THE ROUNDS. THE LIBRARY HAD STAFF AND A LOT OF OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS AS WELL. SO APPRECIATE THE COOPERATIVE EFFORT. APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT. IF YOU DIDN'T, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T TAKE PART THIS YEAR. CERTAINLY TALK TO YOUR HOA AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOW TO PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR'S EVENT. AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GROWING AS AS THE YEARS GO ON. SO WITH THAT, YOU HAVE OUR MONTHLY REPORT FOR THE CRIME STATS FOR THE MONTH OF JULY. [00:45:06] I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE? THANK YOU CHIEF. THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE US TO ITEM TEN, WHICH IS THE BUDGET STATUS REPORT FOR JULY. [10. Budget Status Report for July 2021.] WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING A LOT ABOUT BUDGET, BUT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL THIS IS JUST OUR ANNUAL FINDING, OUR MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT. I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SALES TAX WAS UP AROUND 20 PERCENT, STATE WAS AT SIXTEEN POINT NINE, I THINK. SO WE'RE WE'RE ALL STILL SEEING THE RECOVERY EFFORTS, AND I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, DO YOU HAVE? JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT A LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY ON THE SALES TAX, BECAUSE YOU AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT THAT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT'S CAUSING IT. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME INFLATIONARY REASONS WHY IT'S UP SO MUCH, BECAUSE THE PRICES OF EVERYTHING ARE UP SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MOVE US TO ITEM 11, WHICH IS THE VISIT FRISCO JULY REPORT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. OH, GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD, YOU'RE ON THE NEXT. YEAH, WE'LL GO AHEAD TO 12, WHICH IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT. [12. Fire Department monthly reports on incident responses and educational activities for the months of June 2021 and July 2021.] HERE TO DISCUSS. WE HIRED A NEW FIRE MARSHAL JULY 1ST OF THIS YEAR, HE COMES TO US FROM SAN MARCOS FIRE DEPARTMENT. BEFORE THAT, HE WAS ASSISTANT FIRE STATE FIRE MARSHAL FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS, HAS A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN URBAN PLANNING FROM TEXAS STATE. AND HE ALSO HAS A MASTER'S DEGREE IN FORENSIC SCIENCE FROM OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY. SECOND THING WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS HURRICANE SEASON. THEY'RE EXPECTING QUITE A FEW MORE STORMS THIS YEAR. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, WE'VE HAD THREE. WE'VE HAD FRED WHO ENTERED FLORIDA JUST THIS MORNING. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT GRACE. LOOKS LIKE SHE'S GOING TO CUT ACROSS THE GULF AND HIT MEXICO. AND THEN HENRY WAS REPORTED THIS MORNING THAT'S IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN RIGHT NOW. SO WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE OR JULY? QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OF JEFF? OK, THANK YOU. SO WE'LL GO BACK TO ITEM 11, WHICH IS VISIT FRISCO REPORT. [11. Visit Frisco July 2021 sales and marketing reports.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'LL BE BRIEF, I JUST WE HAD OUR FOURTH MONTH IN A ROW THAT WE'VE HAD NUMBERS EXCEEDING 2019, SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT TREND. OUR OCCUPANCIES CREEPING UP, STILL DOING PRETTY GOOD ON THE WEEKEND. BUT OF COURSE, THE SCHOOL IS STARTING IN THE SUMMER KIND OF ENDING. IT SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN AUGUST. BUT WE CONTINUE TO GET A LOT OF OUR PS. WE'VE HAD SOME GREAT SIDE INSPECTIONS RECENTLY AND SOME GOOD WINDS FROM THAT. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A GOOD FALL. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OK, COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR MARLA? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MARLA. AND THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM THIRTEEN, WHICH IS THE [13. Development Services monthly activity update report for the month of June 2021 and July 2021.] DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT. JUST TWO THINGS TO MENTION. ONE, WEST NILE VIRUS. WE'RE IN THAT SEASON AND I THINK THIS YEAR, WELL, I THINK WE'RE OVER WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR, WHAT HAPPENED THIS MONTH. SO EVERYBODY NEEDS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND APPRECIATE COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR THAT WE'RE USED TO TO DO THE SPRAYING. SO WE'RE MORE REACTIVE. THE SECOND POINT, I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS IN MY CAREER, BUT OUR LOT INNOVATORY IS THAT FIVE MONTHS, EQUILIBRIUM IS 24 MONTHS. AND THAT STEADILY HAS BEEN GOING DOWN SINCE MARCH OF 2020 SO. WE'RE DOWN TO FIVE MONTHS, MEANING THAT'S A VERY TIGHT LOT SUPPLY. AND SO. THAT'S A. WE'VE BEEN HOVERING AROUND, IT HAS VARIED, THE LOWEST I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IS MAYBE AROUND ABOUT 11 MONTHS AND THEN IT JUMPS UP AND COMES DOWN. AND SO, YOU KNOW, BESIDES THE RECESSION, WHEN WE GOT UP A LITTLE HIGH, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN IT THIS LOW. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO BE HERE ON JUST A LIMITED SUPPLY. AND OF COURSE, WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH THE PANDEMIC AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN HAS BEEN IMPACTED. SO FROM POOL CONTRACTORS TO BUILDING HOMES, I MEAN, THEY'RE FACING, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND TRYING TO BUILD NEW HOMES. I KNOW WE HAVE FIELDS OBVIOUSLY COMING ONLINE AND SOME OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. I MEAN, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP EXPEDITE SOME OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS, GETTING TO MARKET OR GETTING COMPLETED? THERE'S NOTHING FOR THE CITY TO DO BECAUSE, I MEAN, WE'RE PROCESSING THE CASES. [00:50:01] AND AS YOU RECALL FROM TWO YEARS AGO, THE STATE LEGISLATURE ABOUT PROCESSING CASES. AND SO THOSE ARE GOING THROUGH MORE QUICKLY THAN BEFORE. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S UP TO THE DEVELOPER TO BE ABLE TO GET CONTRACTORS OUT THERE, HOME BUILDERS TO GET THE SUPPLIES AND LABOR IN ORDER TO DELIVER. THANK YOU JOHN. THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 14, WHICH IS OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND [14. Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.] WHAT UPDATES DO WE HAVE. THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE MET THIS AFTERNOON. WE BEGAN THE REVIEW OF OUR ETHICS ORDINANCE. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING PROBABLY MORE OFTEN THAN WE HAVE BEEN IN ORDER TO TRY AND BRING SOMETHING TO COUNCIL SOONER THAN LATER. SO. WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH RICHARD FOR IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS TO GET A DRAFT DONE, AND WE HAD PRETTY GOOD ATTENDANCE AND I THINK WE'LL GET SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM THE VISITORS WE HAD. OK, WHAT OTHER UPDATES DO WE HAVE. FROM [INAUDIBLE]. WE HAVE OUR PURPLE HEART SOCIAL. COMING UP ON THURSDAY NIGHT, EVERYONE IS INVITED TO THAT, NOT JUST VETERANS OR PURPLE HEART RECIPIENTS. IT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO MEET YOUR HEROES AND HEAR THEIR STORIES. THERE'S GOING TO BE A CITY WORKS AT THE STAR AGAIN THIS THURSDAY AT 6:30. AND AGAIN, EVERYONE IS INVITED. OH, ANY OTHER UPDATES, COUNCIL? THAT'LL TAKE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. ITEMS PLACED IN THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE [CONSENT AGENDA] CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL, THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. 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 SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. WE HAVE ITEMS FIFTEEN THROUGH TWENTY THREE FOR CONSIDERATION.

[LEGISLATIVE AGENDA] THESE ITEMS MAY LEGALLY REQUIRE COUNCIL ACTION, BUT BY COUNCIL POLICY SHOULD BE THE CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION, THE CONCURRENCE OF TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE ANY ITEM FOR A SEPARATE DISCUSSION AND ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY IN ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT, MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. COUNCIL WE HAVE ITEMS TWENTY FOURTH THROUGH TWENTY SIX.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS TWENTY FOUR AND TWENTY SIX. SECOND. MOTION BY JOHN SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSE. [25. Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance amending Frisco’s Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 06-03-31, Chapter 18 (Buildings and Building Regulations) by adding Article VIII (Requirements for Owners of Residential Properties Used as Short-term Rentals); establishing requirements and regulations for use of a residential property as a Short-term Rental; and defining terms. (Development Services/PC)] THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. ITEM TWENTY FIVE CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING FRISCO'S CODE OF ORDINANCES NUMBER 06-03-31 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS BY ADDING ARTICLE EIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR OWNERS OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES USED AS SHORT TERM RENTALS ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS FOR USE OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL AND DEFINING TERMS. WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT. WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS. OK, JEANNIE WISE. THANK YOU. IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. SURE, MY NAME IS JEAN WISE RESIDENT HERE FRISCO 16 YEARS. MY ADDRESS IS 11170 CORSICANA DRIVE, FRISCO. OK, SORRY, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. ANYWAY, REGARDING ARTICLE 25, I AM SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION. I OPPOSE HAVING THE CITY MANAGE PRIVATE PROPERTY. THAT'S MY IMPRESSION. THIS PROPOSAL ESSENTIALLY PLACES HOMEOWNERS IN A CATEGORY WITH HOTELS. I MEAN, WHAT REALLY IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHORT TERM RENTALS AND LONG TERM RENTALS? NOW, AS I READ THE ARTICLE, IT SAYS THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. WELL, ANYWAY, MY OPPOSITION IS BECAUSE HOME OWNERSHIP IS NOT THE SAME AS THE HOTEL. HOMEOWNERS PAY THEIR TAXES, THEIR MORTGAGES, MAINTENANCE FEES, AND. ALL OTHER THINGS REGARDING THEIR PROPERTY, AND I FEEL BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO MANAGE YOUR PROPERTY. IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY. I REALIZE THERE ARE THINGS COMING UP AND PEOPLE HAVE OPPOSITION TO HAVING SHORT [00:55:02] TERM RENTALS NEXT DOOR. PEOPLE ALSO OPPOSE HAVING RENTAL HOMES NEXT DOOR AND LONG TERM RENTALS. THERE IS ALWAYS SOME OPPOSITION. AND HOWEVER, WHEN YOU OWN YOUR PROPERTY, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MANAGE IT YOURSELF AND NOT BE PENALIZED OR NICKEL AND DIME AND TAXED ON EVERYTHING. I, I AM IMPRESSED THAT THIS IS AN OVERREACH BY OUR CITY MANAGEMENT. WHY? BECAUSE. BECAUSE I FEEL IT WILL JUST BE THE BEGINNING OF ONEROUS FEES BEING ATTACHED TO HOMEOWNERS, THE CITY DOES NOT TO BE NEED TO BE INSIDE OF OUR HOMES. MANY OF US HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM HOME DURING THIS PANDEMIC AND WE HAVE OFFICES AT HOME. WHAT IS GOING TO BE NEXT? TAXING OUR OFFICES. I'M TOTALLY AGAINST THIS. IT'S AN OVERREACH, AND I THINK IT WILL LEAD TO THE HOMEOWNERS LOSING MORE OF THEIR PRIVACY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I THINK MR. ARMISTEAD IS GOING TO BE SPEAKING ON ITEM TWENTY FIVE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MICHAEL ARMISTEAD. I AM OH A RESIDENT HERE NOW, ABOUT SIX YEARS SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW MY SON DONOVAN, WHO HAS WORKED IN FAVOR OF OUR LOCAL CITY COUNCIL, NO MATTER WHAT AISLE SIDE OF THE AISLE OR THE SPECTRUM THEY SIT ON. AND I'M ALSO REPRESENTING WATERSTONE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION HERE IN FRISCO. SO I'VE READ THROUGH THE INFORMATION IN THIS PARTICULAR ARTICLE AND I SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR ARTICLE. AS SOMEONE WHO SERVES ON THEIR HOA AND SEES THE GOOD AND THE BAD AND THE UGLY OF HOMEOWNERSHIP AND THE STRUGGLES IT TAKES SOMETIMES TO GET THINGS TAKEN CARE OF IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST SELFISHLY IN MY INTEREST, IS SOMETHING ALONG THIS LINE OF GUIDELINES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SOME STRUCTURE I DON'T BELIEVE IS AN OVERREACH OF THE CITY COUNCIL'S. I GUESS POWER SO AS FAR AS THIS IS CONCERNED, PROVIDING THAT STRUCTURE WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO HAVE A SHORT TERM RENTAL, BUT PUTTING SOME GUIDELINES AROUND IT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, SAFETY MEASURES, YOU KNOW, TO PREVENT SITUATIONS THAT MAY OCCUR AND THEN NOT HAVE THE ABILITY, SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, SHORT TERM RENTALS WHERE SOMEBODY COMING INTO TOWN TO SEE SOMETHING RELATIVE TO THE FUTURE PGA OR WITH THE SOCCER TOURNAMENTS UNRULY, GET UP, THEY LEAVE, AND THEN THE COMMUNITY IS LEFT STANDING WITH THE MESS. I DON'T THINK IS A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR TO ASK THE HOMEOWNER TO PROVIDE SOME BASIC INFORMATION AND FOLLOW SOME BASIC GUIDELINES SO THAT THERE ARE RECOURSES THAT CAN BE TAKEN BY THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF AFTER THE FACT. SO WITH THAT, I. I WELCOME THIS AGENDA ITEM AND THIS ARTICLE AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT PASSED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK DURING THIS ITEM? OK, COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? WE'VE PUT ABOUT, I THINK, FIVE YEARS WORTH OF WORK INTO THIS. I THINK WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC WORKS SESSIONS. WE GOT AN UPDATE IN 2020 WINTER WORK SESSION. I THINK WE TAPPED THE BRAKES ON THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE TEXAS LEGISLATION DURING 2017 AND 2019 WHEN WE THOUGHT SOME STATE ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN, AND I THINK THAT GOT THAT WAS DEFERRED BASICALLY BACK TO LOCAL CONTROL BACK HERE TO AT THE CITY COUNCIL OR MUNICIPAL LEVEL. SO I ACTUALLY HAVE A RENTAL PROPERTY IN ANOTHER STATE. SO SO SOMETHING I'M I'M FAMILIAR WITH KIND OF ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES, WE JUST HAVE ONE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE MIGHT RENT OUT THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND MIGHT PURCHASE SECOND HOMES FOR RENTAL, [01:00:01] MIGHT HAVE MULTIPLE HOMES AS A AS A AS A BUSINESS MODEL. SO I THINK HERE WITH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS OUR FIRST ATTEMPT AT CREATING SOME GUIDELINES OR BOUNDARIES AND SOME CLARITY, NOT JUST FOR THE HOAS, BUT FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS THAT THAT ARE EITHER LIVING NEAR A SRT, SHORT TERM RENT, STR SHORT TERM RENTAL OR ARE CONSIDERING RENTING ONE OUT. IT PROVIDES FOR THOSE GUIDELINES FROM THE CITY. IT HELPS, I THINK, COMMUNICATE TO EVERYONE THAT WHETHER YOU OWN RENT OR ARE RENTING ALL OF THOSE, ALL OF OUR CITY RULES, ALL OF OUR CITY ORDINANCES WOULD APPLY. AND THAT IN THIS CASE, IT HELPS US ENFORCE THOSE RULES WHEN THERE'S AN ABSENTEE OWNER IN THE CASE OF A SHORT TERM RENTAL. SO I THINK THAT'S JUST A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITHOUT BEING TOO ONEROUS, CERTAINLY WITHOUT ANY MUNICIPAL OVERREACH HERE. I KNOW I'VE BEEN ACTIVE WITH THIS FOR ABOUT JUST OVER TWO YEARS NOW, AND I APPLAUD THE WORK IS DONE, I PLAN ON SUPPORTING THE ORDINANCE, BUT I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE, GIVE SOME OUTLINE, SOME BACKGROUND. THANK YOU. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY DURING THE DISCUSSION. SORRY, NO. I WAS JUST GOING TO STAFF A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. DURING THESE DISCUSSIONS. I THINK, YOU KNOW, NONE OF US, INCLUDING MYSELF, WANT TO BE IN YOUR HOME AND MONITOR WHAT YOU DO. BUT WE HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS AND DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY TO CONTACT. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT NOW. WE'RE GOING TO KNOW WHO'S IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE GOING TO KNOW HOW TO REACH PEOPLE. AND I THINK IT WAS A PRETTY LIGHT MEASURE GIVEN SOME OF THE FEELINGS THAT WE HAD, INCLUDING MY OWN ON SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND NOTHING'S PERFECT. BUT I DO PLAN ON SUPPORTING THIS TONIGHT AS WELL. SO I SERVED ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR MY HOA. THANK YOU, MICHAEL ARMISTEAD, FOR COMING OUT HERE. MIKE, IS MY NEIGHBOR AND SPEAKING FOR OUR COMMUNITY, WE'RE AT 423 IN LEBANON AS A VICE PRESIDENT AND THEN A PRESIDENT OF HOA, SHORT TERM RENTALS WERE SOMETHING THAT CAME UP FROM TIME TO TIME AND SOMETHING THAT WE HAD TO CONTINUALLY WORK WITH AND EVEN RENTAL PROPERTIES TO AS WELL. I THINK THIS REALLY CREATES AND ESTABLISHES A COMMUNICATION LINK BETWEEN THE OWNER AND THE CITY IN CASE THERE'S AN EMERGENCY. WE DO HAVE PROPERTIES EVEN IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT THE OWNER IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. AND SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL PROVIDE US AS A CITY AN EASIER WAY TO GET A HOLD OF THEM IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS. SO I DO PLAN ON VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS AS WELL. I ASK A FEW QUESTIONS OF STAFF JUST TO CLARIFY A COUPLE THINGS. SO THIS ORDINANCE, DOES IT STOP ANYONE FROM DOING IF THEY WANT TO DO A SHORT TERM RENTAL ON THEIR HOME, DOES IT STOP THEM FROM DOING SO? SO THEY JUST FILE FOR THE PERMIT AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. IT DOESN'T CHANGE IF THEY WANT TO, WHATEVER PRICING THEY WANT TO DO, WHATEVER METHOD THEY WANT TO DO OUT OF IT, WE'RE NOT. ARE WE DOING ANYTHING TO LIMIT THE ABILITY FOR THE HOMEOWNER TO DO SO? NO MA'AM. OK. IF WE DON'T HAVE THIS ORDINANCE IN PLACE AND THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A SHORT TERM RENTAL, BECAUSE IT'S WE'RE NOT TYPICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ONES THAT ARE LEASED OUT FOR SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT ARE AT LEAST OUT FOR A WEEKEND. LESS THAN 30 DAYS. AN AIRBNB CONCEPT. BUT NOT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WE'RE IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON THE ONES THAT ARE THE SHORT TERM CONVERSATION. SO IF IF SOMETHING WERE TO BE WRONG, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH TRASH BEING PICKED UP OR NAY OR PEOPLE PARKING, IF THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ONLY HAVE 10 PEOPLE STAYING AT HOME, BUT THEY HAVE 20 PEOPLE STAYING IN THAT HOME INSTEAD, AND THE CARS ARE EVERYWHERE AND BLOCKING NEIGHBORS AND BLOCKING. IS THERE ANY REAL RECOURSE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN HANDLING THAT OTHER THAN CALLING THE POLICE OUT AND HOPING THE POLICE CAN FIX IT? AND IS THERE ANY REAL RECOURSE THAT WE HAVE BEFORE THIS ORDINANCE? WE DO. WE DO HAVE SOME ORDINANCES CURRENTLY THAT ADDRESS HOW SOMEONE MAINTAINS THEIR PROPERTY, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, IS INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE. AND SOME OF THAT STUFF WOULD CARRY FORWARD WITHIN THIS ORDINANCE. IT WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER AVENUE TO BE ABLE TO REACH PEOPLE QUICKER. IT'S A MORE PROACTIVE APPROACH THAN THAN A REACTIVE APPROACH. WELL, THERE'S THERE'S RULES IN HERE THAT THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNER MUST MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TENANTS AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE COMPLAINT IS. RIGHT NOW, IT WOULD BE STRICTLY UP TO, IN MANY CASES, PD TO BE DISPATCHED [01:05:01] AND TO SORT OUT WITH THE WITH THE NOT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, BUT WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY RENTING THE PROPERTY AT THAT TIME. WHAT THE WHAT THE VIOLATIONS. SO THIS WOULD GIVE US SOME MORE OF AN AVENUE TO KNOW PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY WHO THE PROPERTY OWNER IS AND USE THAT AVENUE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO APPROACH SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY OWN THE PROPERTY. SO IF THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE RULES AND FOLLOWING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND THERE'S NO ISSUES, THEN THIS BUSINESS GOES ALONG AS NORMAL FOR THE HOMEOWNER WHO WANTS TO RENT OUT THEIR HOME. THAT IS CORRECT. WHAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS NOW, THE ORDINANCES THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS NOW CAN STILL BE USED SINCE THEY'RE NOT IN THIS ORDINANCE. THE ORDINANCE THAT WE HAVE NOW IS JUST PERMITTING, TRYING TO GET THEM REGULATED TO WHERE WE KNOW WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT IF A VIOLATION IS OCCURRING, LIKE YOU SAID, THE PARKING, THE HIGH VEGETATION, THE GRASS, WE GET A COMPLAINT. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND INSPECT IT JUST LIKE WE WOULD IF IT WAS A LONG TERM PROPERTY. YOUR PROPERTY, MY PROPERTY. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND INSPECT THOSE AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM RIGHT THEN. IF THERE'S IMMEDIATE PROBLEM, THOUGH, IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY PD IS GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HANDLE IT WITH THE PEOPLE ON SITE BEFORE YOU MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF THE OWNER, THOUGH, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. AND ALSO, PD AND I CAN WORK TOGETHER AND WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER BEFORE IN THE PAST. AIRBNB NOW HAS A VRBO HAS A WEBSITE WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT PORTAL THAT THEY ALSO LET CODE ENFORCEMENT USE WHERE THEY CAN REPORT THE POLICE OFFICER CAN REPORT IMMEDIATELY. IF THERE IS A MAJOR INCIDENT GOING ON. AT THAT TIME, THEY'RE GOING TO REPORT IT TO THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT PORTAL THAT PUTS THEM IN CONTACT WITHIN WHAT DID THEY SAY? TWENTY FOUR LESS THAN. AND IT WAS PRETTY IMMEDIATE, RIGHT? THE RESPONSE FOR THAT IS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAD TO TAKE ACTION AT THAT TIME, THAT RESPONSE FROM THEM WAS PRETTY IMMEDIATE. AIRBNB HAS 24/7 COVERAGE. EXPEDIA, WHICH COVERS A LOT OF THE OTHER SHORT TERM RENTAL ENTITIES. THEY PICKED UP A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT ONES. THEY HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT YOU CAN WRITE IT TO, AND THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH A MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY OPERATION, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, OR THEY'LL GET BACK WITH YOU FAIRLY QUICKLY. SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT? IF YOU'RE DOING YOUR SHORT TERM RENTAL AS AN OWNER AND YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT AND YOU'RE NOT BOTHERING YOUR NEIGHBORS ALL THE TIME, THAT YOU JUST KEEP GOING ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. BUT IF YOU'RE NOT AND YOU'RE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOU'RE NOW ENCROACHING UPON MY ABILITY TO LIVE IN MY HOUSE AND BE COMFORTABLE IN MY YARD, AND BECAUSE THERE'S 25 PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY IN YOUR YARD EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT, IT'S NOW COVERED UNDER SOME OF THESE OTHER NUISANCE THINGS THAT WE COULD THEN AT LEAST START TO ENFORCE SOME OF THOSE THINGS. THAT IS CORRECT. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE IS SOME PROCESS FOR REVOCATION OF A PERMIT. SO CURRENTLY WE COULD JUST CONTINUE TO ISSUE CITATIONS, BUT BRINGING IN A PERMIT PROCESS, A PERMIT COULD BE REVOKED. BUT THERE'S ALSO DUE PROCESS THROUGH A PROCESS OF HEARINGS, BOTH WITH OUR DIRECTOR AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE TO HAVE THAT REINSTATED. SO THERE'S SOME DUE PROCESS IN THERE, BUT THERE'S ALSO A STOP GAP TO SAY WE'VE HAD 12 VIOLATIONS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO PUT AN END TO THIS AT SOME POINT. IN ESSENCE THIS MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A PROTECTION FOR ALL THE OTHER LANDOWNERS AND HOMEOWNERS SURROUNDING IT. OK. ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION, COULD A PERMIT REQUEST BE DENIED? ONLY ON THE BASIS OF PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS SO IT WOULD BE A REVOCATION WITH THERE IS NO THERE'S NO AUTHORITY WITHIN THIS TO DENY A PERMIT WHERE THERE'S NO PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS, A PERMIT WOULD BE ISSUED BY RIGHT. TO THAT POINT, THE RESEARCH THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US IS THAT A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF OUR COMPLAINTS ARE LIMITED TO JUST A HANDFUL OF PROPERTIES. THAT IS CORRECT. SO IT'S A MECHANISM FOR THE REPEAT OFFENDERS, FOR US TO. GET THEM TO BE GOOD, GOOD NEIGHBORS. THAT IS CORRECT TO YOUR POINT, THE NUMBER OF SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT WE CURRENTLY SHOW TO HAVE HAD ACTIVE AT SOME POINT IN TIME IN OUR CITY IS ABOUT 28. AND LOOKING AT THE DATA, THERE IS TWO, MAYBE THREE THAT HAVE BEEN SOURCES OF ONGOING ISSUES. THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE HAD TYPICALLY BEEN MORE ORDER MAINTENANCE TYPE ISSUES, PARKING, NOISE, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. PARKING, AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT YARD, IF THEY'RE ON THE STREETS OR THE DRIVEWAYS. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ANYWAY. AND IF THEY HAVE 10 CARS THERE, WE WE REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS MAINTAIN THE FRONT YARDS AND SET BACK. EVERYBODY ELSE DONE WITH QUESTIONS, BECAUSE ALL I'VE GOT IS COMMENTS. [01:10:04] SO I THINK MY COMMENTS ON THIS. I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THIS SINCE WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT. ON THE ONE HAND, IN REGARDS TO THESE SHORT TERM RENTALS BEING OPERATED AS HOTELS, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THAT'S PART OF THE CHALLENGE IS YOU HAVE A RESIDENCE THAT'S BEING OPERATED AS A HOTEL. AND IN MY OPINION, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, YOU SHOULD BE PAYING THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX, JUST LIKE THE HOTELS. THIS ORDINANCE HELPS US WITH THAT. THE CHALLENGE THAT I HAVE, THOUGH, IS. REALLY, THIS MIGHT HELP US OUT WITH, AS CHIEF STEVENS SAID, A HANDFUL OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE PROBLEMATIC. AND. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE BURDEN OF THE PERMIT PROCESS. OUTWEIGHS THE FACT THAT IT'S ONLY A HANDFUL OF PROPERTIES. WE HAVEN'T EVEN GIVEN A TRIAL TO SOME OF THOSE OTHER AVENUES THAT ARE MORE RECENTLY AVAILABLE. I DO SEE BENEFIT IN ONCE WE GET SOMEBODY PERMITTED AND WE HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO RESOLVE SOME THINGS OVER A LONGER TERM. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET THOSE PEOPLE ON BOARD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THEIR THEIR ACTIONS. WE COULD END UP REVOKING THE PERMIT AND THEN HAVING TO TAKE THEM TO COURT TO GET AN INJUNCTION TO GET THEM TO STOP RENTING IT IF THEY DON'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. SO THE ORDINANCE DOESN'T DO MUCH OTHER THAN WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR POWER EXCEPT FOR PERMIT PROCESS. THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT IS WE DON'T REQUIRE ANY OF THIS ON LONG TERM RENTALS. AND I KNOW WE HAVE JUST AS MANY PROBLEMS WITH LONG TERM RENTALS AS WE DO WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS, PROBABLY EVEN MORE SO. I'VE HAD THEM IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE HAD, YOU KNOW, THE HOUSE NEXT TO ME. WHILE THEY'RE GREAT RENTERS THERE NOW, THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN IS A PAIN IN THE NECK TO GET A HOLD OF THE OWNER WITH SOME CHALLENGES WITH PRIOR PEOPLE. AND WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO SOLVE THAT, SO FOR ME, I'M SITTING HERE LOOKING AT THIS GOING, OK, WE GET THE BENEFIT OF MAYBE FIXING FIVE OR A DOZEN HOMES THAT ARE PROBLEMATIC WHEN I THINK WE HAVE OTHER AVENUES TO TRY. AND SITTING HERE AND SAYING THIS, I WAS. I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO SUPPORT THIS WITH THE REQUEST THAT WE REVIEW THIS IN A YEAR, BUT THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, AN ORDINANCE TO SOLVE FOR ONLY A HANDFUL OF PROPERTIES, I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE BEST USE OF OUR TIME RIGHT NOW. I'D RATHER TRY SOME OF THOSE OTHER AVENUES TO CORRECT THAT HANDFUL OF BAD ACTORS AND SEE IF THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. FIRST, IT DOESN'T FIX THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX PROBLEM, BUT WE ALSO DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN FROM THAT ANYWAY. THERE'S NO GUARANTEES THERE. I ASKED THAT QUESTION AND NOBODY KNOWS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE OUT THERE. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE GOING TO KEEP DOING IT AFTER THIS. WE JUST THERE'S TOO MANY UNKNOWNS THERE. SO FOR ME, AT LEAST ON THIS ONE, I HAVE TO BE A NO ON THAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I'D RATHER TRY SOME OF THOSE OTHER OPTIONS FIRST. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I MEAN, I JUST SHARE MY MY PERSONAL OPINION, I PROBABLY ALIGN CLOSER TO TO BILL ON THIS ONE THAT I'VE NEVER BEEN A PARTICULAR FAN ABOUT RENTAL REGISTRATIONS PERSONALLY, I THINK WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THEM. WE SAW THAT WHEN WE HAD THE LONG TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION, WHICH WE EVENTUALLY JUST KIND OF GAVE UP ON JUST BECAUSE WE WEREN'T GETTING ANY COMPLIANCE, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, ALSO EACH ONE OF THESE IS A SMALL BUSINESS. I MEAN, EVERYONE THAT HAS A SHORT TERM RENTAL, THEY ARE OPERATING A SMALL BUSINESS. AND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS DOESN'T SOUND MAYBE LIKE A LOT ON PAPER, BUT FOR SMALL BUSINESS, THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS IS A LOT OF MONEY, YOU KNOW. SO I THINK I WOULD BE MORE IN LINE WITH WITH BILL AS FAR AS TRYING TO LOOK AT OTHER SOLUTIONS, BECAUSE THIS IS AN EMERGING INDUSTRY THAT WE'RE ALL TRYING TO GET OUR HANDS AROUND. I AM CONCERNED. I THINK FRISCO IS GOING TO BECOME MORE PROMINENT FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS AS THE PGA GETS HERE. SO WE DO NEED TO HAVE A PLAN, CERTAINLY AS FAR AS TO ADDRESS IT. I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE NEXT TO THEM AND ARE BEGGING THE CITY FOR HELP. YOU KNOW, I THINK COUNCIL'S DONE A GOOD JOB AS FAR AS TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUATION THAT LIVES NEXT TO THEM, THAT ARE SENDING US EMAILS AND BEGGING US TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM TO TRY TO AT LEAST TAKE A FIRST STEP, YOU KNOW, IN A WAY THAT HELPS SOLVE IT AND HAVE THE GOOD ACTORS AND THE GOOD OPERATORS WORK HERE THROUGH THROUGH THE CITY. SO, YOU KNOW, I'D SAY IT'S NOT ONE I'M SUPER PASSIONATE ABOUT EITHER [01:15:01] WAY, BUT PROBABLY WOULD KIND OF LEAN ON THE SIDE OF STILL TRYING TO DO OTHER SOLUTIONS. BUT WITH. [APPLAUSE] WITH THAT COUNCIL, THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 25. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY DAN. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. GO AHEAD AND RAISE YOUR HAND ON THAT ONE. OPPOSED? NAY. AND THE MOTION PASSES FIVE ONE. THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. [27. Public Hearing: First Hearing on the City of Frisco Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Budget, including Frisco Economic Development Corporation Fiscal Year 2022 Budget, and the Frisco Community Development Corporation Fiscal Year 2022 Budget. (Budget/JH)] ITEM TWENTY SEVEN IS A PUBLIC HEARING, THE FIRST HEARING ON THE CITY OF FRISCO FISCAL YEAR 2022 ANNUAL BUDGET, INCLUDING FRISCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET IN THE FRISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, IF I COULD JUST GO OVER A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BUDGET AND I'D LOVE TO SHOW YOU THE BUDGET VIDEO AS WELL. SO THIS FISCAL YEAR 22 PROPOSED BUDGET IS SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE MILLION IN PROPOSED APPROPRIATION IS A FLAT TAX RATE WITH THE PROPOSED TAX RATE OF POINT FOUR FOUR SIX SIX, AND THAT IS WITH THIRTY SIX POINT SIX BILLION IN PROPERTY TAX VALUE. IT DOES PLAN FOR OUR THIRD YEAR OF OUR 2019 BOND AUTHORIZATION FOR ONE HUNDRED MILLION IN VOTER APPROVED BONDS FOR ROADS, PARKS AND PUBLIC SAFETY, AS WELL AS 43 MILLION IN CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. IT CONTINUES OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR EMPLOYEES THROUGH OUR MERIT AND MARKET PROGRAM AND THE ADDITION OF 47 NEW FTE POSITIONS, WITH TWENTY SEVEN OF THOSE BEING IN PUBLIC SAFETY. OUR REVISED FISCAL YEAR 2001 BUDGET WILL CONTINUE OUR RESERVE FUNDING WITH MOVING FUNDS TO BOTH OUR INSURANCE RESERVE FUND AND OUR CAPITAL RESERVE FUND. AND WE DO HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS OF POLICY CHANGES TO OUR INSURANCE RESERVE AND CAPITAL RESERVE FUND IN THE OVER 65 EXEMPTION POLICY. SOME UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZEN INPUT INCLUDE TONIGHT'S PUBLIC HEARING. BUT THEN ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, WE'LL HAVE THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET. AND ON SEPTEMBER 21ST, WE'LL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. ALSO ON SEPTEMBER 21ST, WE WILL ADOPT THE BUDGET, THE TAX RATE AND THE FEE ORDINANCE. AND IF I COULD NOW SHOW YOU ALL THE FISCAL YEAR, 22 PROPOSED BUDGET AND JUST TAKE THIS SECOND TO COMPLEMENT OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR DANA AND HER STAFF, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO ENJOY THE VIDEO. THIS YEAR'S BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO IS ABOUT RECOVERING. THIS EXTRAORDINARY TIME IN HISTORY REQUIRED CREATIVE MEASURES. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. PLUS, LOTS OF TEAMWORK FOR A SECOND BUDGET CYCLE. WE MESSED UP AND KEPT OUR DISTANCE. BUSINESSES CLOSED AND CLINICS OPENED. WE QUICKLY LEARNED TO WORK AND STUDY REMOTELY, VIRTUALLY IMPACTING ALL OF US. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT OUR PROPERTY VALUES WERE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND ALONGSIDE THE PANDEMIC, WE WEATHERED A STORM. FRISCO'S FISCAL YEAR 2022 BALANCED BUDGET, INCLUDING A 198 MILLION DOLLAR GENERAL FUND, FOCUSES ON RECOVERY AND MAINTENANCE. THE PROPOSED BUDGET INCLUDES ADDING POSITIONS. REPLACING EQUIPMENT AND EMPHASIZING OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE OF FRISCO, HALLMARK AND THE PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX RATE WILL STAY THE SAME TOO AT POINT FOUR FOUR SIX SIX FOR THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S BELOW THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE. BUT FOR FY 22 ABOVE THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE. FRISCO HOMEOWNERS STILL GET A 10 PERCENT HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, WHICH SAVES THEM A COLLECTIVE NINE MILLION DOLLARS OVER THE FISCAL YEAR. HOMEOWNERS OVER 65 ALSO GET THE EIGHTY THOUSAND SENIOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, AND COUNCIL IS COMMITTED TO RAISING THE SENIOR EXEMPTION TO NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE NEXT TAX YEAR. THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE HERE IS ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED FORTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. THAT'S UP ALMOST SIX PERCENT OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THAT MEANS THE AVERAGE CITY TAX BILL WILL BE ABOUT NINETEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS NEXT YEAR. CITYWIDE FRISCO PROPERTY VALUES HAVE INCREASED NEARLY THREE BILLION DOLLARS. THAT'S ONE POINT FIVE BILLION IN NEW VALUE AND ONE POINT FOUR BILLION IN REVALUE OF EXISTING PROPERTIES, BECAUSE INCREASED VALUES REALLY HELPED TO SHOW THE GROWTH [01:20:04] AND RECOVERY THAT FRISCO HAS MAINTAINED. MAINTAINING OUR WORKFORCE IS A PRIORITY. THE FY 22 BUDGET PROVIDES MERIT INCREASES AND FUNDS MARKET ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE OUR CITY IS COMPETITIVE WHEN RECRUITING AND RETAINING EMPLOYEES WHO ARE PART OF OUR TEAM FRISCO. NEARLY 70 PERCENT OF THE CITY'S BUDGET IS DEDICATED TO EMPLOYEE WAGES, AND ALMOST HALF IS SPENT ON PUBLIC SAFETY. FORTY SEVEN NEW FULL TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS ARE PROPOSED, INCLUDING 27 ASSIGNED TO THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. WE ESTIMATE THAT IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE YEARS, FIRE STATION 10 WILL BE BUILT AND GO INTO OPERATION. USUALLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 30 FIREFIGHTERS ARE NEEDED FOR A NEW STATION. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FUNDS TO DO THAT ALL AT ONCE. SO ONE THOUGHT WAS TO START HIRING SOME OF THESE FIREFIGHTERS NOW THEY'RE NEEDED TO HELP THE CURRENT OPERATIONS AND TRY TO DO THAT THE NEXT TWO BUDGET YEARS TO HOPEFULLY PROVIDE THE STAFFING NEEDS FOR THE NEW FIRE STATION 10. YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT FRISCO IS EVERY YEAR WE JUST FINISHED ONE PROJECT AND WE GET IT GO AND THEN NEW PROJECTS COME ALONG. ONGOING PROJECTS LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION OF FRISCO MUNICIPAL COURT AND THE FRISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY ARE SUPPORTED BY THIS BUDGET. BOTH ARE ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECTS. OUR LATEST PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE NEW BUDGET TOO. DESIGN WILL BEGIN FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER TO BE BUILT AT HALL PARK. ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES ON LEGACY DRIVE, FIELDS PARKWAY AND PANTHER CREEK. THESE MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF PGA FRISCO, FIELDS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS BRANCH CAMPUS. THE BUDGET WILL ALSO PAY FOR A REFRESHED DESIGN FOR GRAND PARK. YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE ALL THE EXPERIENCES WE WANT TO CREATE? AS WE TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT DESIGNING THE PARK, OUR CITY WILL BEGIN THE PROCESS FOR CLEANING UP STEWART CREEK AND THE NOW CITY OWNED PROPERTY ONCE OCCUPIED BY EXIDE. IN OCTOBER 2020, THE CITY OF FRISCO TOOK OVER OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE DEFUNCT BATTERY RECYCLING PLANT SITE. THE CITY WILL NOW BEGIN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE REMEDIATION ACTION PLAN COMPLETED [INAUDIBLE] TCEQ AND BEGIN THE CLEANUP. THE CLEANUP IS ESTIMATED TO TAKE UP TO SEVEN YEARS. A 25 MILLION DOLLAR PERFORMANCE FUND FUNDED BY EXIDE WITH FUNDS FROM THE SURROUNDING LAND SALE IS EARMARKED FOR THE CLEANUP. THE FORMER PLANT POLLUTION CONTROLS HAVE TO BE OPERATED AND MAINTAINED UNTIL THE CLEANUP IS COMPLETE. HOWEVER, THE ACTUAL COST TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK IS DOUBLE THE ORIGINAL COST ESTIMATE. SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ONE MORE ONE DOLLAR INCREASE TO THE [INAUDIBLE] WASTE FEE. COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE WILL INCREASE TWO PERCENT AS WELL. THE PROPOSED BUDGET ALSO INCREASES WATER AND SEWER RATES BY THREE PERCENT. ADDITIONAL WATER AND SEWER REVENUE IS GOING TO HELP US ADDRESS SOME REPLACEMENT CAPITAL ITEMS THAT ARE NEEDED. SALES TAX COLLECTIONS ARE BUDGETED AT FIVE PERCENT FOR THE COMING YEAR. THAT'S BECAUSE DESPITE THE PANDEMIC, SALES TAX RECEIPTS INCREASED. WE'VE BEEN TOTALLY SHOCKED ABOUT SALES TAX COLLECTIONS. EVEN WHEN WE LOOK AT 2019 COLLECTIONS COMPARED TO THIS YEAR'S COLLECTIONS, IT'S JUST IT'S UNPRECEDENTED. ALL RIGHT, THERE YOU GO. SUCH FINANCIAL HEALTH PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THE CITY'S CAPITAL RESERVE FUND TO 13 MILLION AND THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE TO THIRTY FOUR PERCENT, WHICH IS ABOVE THE TWENTY FIVE PERCENT POLICY. THAT IS YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT, IF YOU WILL. THAT'S YOUR MONEY TO GO TO IF YOU HAVE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. RESERVE FUNDS IMPACT BOND RATINGS. FRISCO HAS THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE, TRIPLE-A BOND RATINGS. THIS MEANS OUR CITY PAYS LOWER INTEREST RATES WHEN ISSUING DEBT, WHICH SAVES MONEY. WE DON'T SEE THINGS SLOWING DOWN. WE'RE STILL BUILDING. TURNS OUT WE DIDN'T SLOW DOWN MUCH DESPITE TWO CHALLENGING YEARS FILLED WITH SO MANY UNKNOWNS. OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, CITY LEADERS AND EMPLOYEES PROVED OUR RESILIENCE, REDEFINING ONCE AGAIN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PART OF TEAM FRISCO. WE BELIEVE THAT WE'VE DONE THE BEST WE COULD TO HOLD THE RATE DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE WANT TO GET THE FUNDS WE TO DO THE BEST JOB FOR [01:25:07] EVERYONE. GREAT JOB WITH THE PRESENTATION. THE PROPOSED BUDGET, THE VIDEO, EVERYTHING IS OUT ON THE WEBSITE. SO OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY BILL. SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES SIX 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 TO CLOSE. SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSED? NONE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. I KNOW NOT EVERYONE LIKES TO SPEAK IN A PUBLIC SETTING. AND WE RECEIVED SOME EMAILS FROM PEOPLE WITH COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS REGARDING THE BUDGET. AND SOME PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS DURING COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR. SO THERE'S OTHER AVENUES FOR YOU TO SHARE YOUR COMMENTS IN REGARDS TO THE BUDGET WITH CITY COUNCIL IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK AT A MEETING. SO WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE? OK, I WOULD LIKE JUST FOR, YOU KNOW, A REAL BRIEF COMMENT ABOUT IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT OR SEEN IT AND HAVE BEEN MENTIONED TO ME DIRECTLY, BUT WE'RE INCREASING TAXES BECAUSE WE'RE ABOVE THE NO NEW TAX RATE. BUT WHEN WE WERE MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT THE HIRING OF THE 27 FIRST RESPONDERS WAS ACTUALLY THAT WAS MORE THAN THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE, CAN YOU JUST SPEAK TO THAT AND GIVE THE [INAUDIBLE] ASKING THAT QUESTION? BUT I HOPE YOU PICKED IT UP. ALL RIGHT. I'LL TRY TO DELINEATE SOME OF THAT OFF MEMORY. SO, YES, OUR NEW VALUE COMING ONTO THE TAX ROLL IS ABOUT ONE POINT FOUR, ONE POINT FIVE BILLION IN NEW VALUE. SO THAT WOULD BE ABOUT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. AND THEN OUR REVALUE IS ABOUT ONE POINT FOUR BILLION. SO, AGAIN, RIGHT ABOUT THAT SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. WELL, OUR CAPITAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL. SO OUR NEW CAPITAL AND NEW SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS FOR THE GENERAL FUND TOTALS TEN AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. SO WITH THAT 10 AND A HALF MILLION, THE NEW VALUE ALONE DOESN'T GET YOU THERE. IT DOESN'T COVER THAT 10 AND A HALF MILLION THAT YOU WOULD NEED IN THIS THE LEGISLATURE. THAT'S WHY YOU DO HAVE A NO NEW REVENUE RATE AND A VOTER APPROVAL RATE BUT IF YOU CAN BE UNDER THAT VOTER APPROVAL RATE WHILE, YES, YOU'RE RAISING YOUR REVENUE, THE WORDING TO RAISING THE TAX RATE, YOU ARE RAISING MORE REVENUE THAN YOU RAISED LAST YEAR, BUT YOU'RE WITHIN A MANAGEABLE RANGE THAT THEY HAD GUIDED, THAT THE STATE HAD GUIDED MUNICIPALITIES TO STAY UNDER. IF THAT HELPS. YOU DID A BETTER JOB OF ANSWERING THAT QUESTION THAN I DID ASKING IT. WELL, ONE COMMENT I'LL JUST PIGGYBACK ON BRIAN WITH REGARDS TO THE NEW REVENUE RATE. SO IN THE VIDEO YOU MENTIONED, I THINK OUR MEDIAN VALUE INCREASE IS WHAT THIS YEAR WAS, FOUR PERCENT, THREE, FOUR PERCENT? SO OUR AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE DID INCREASE, RIGHT ABOUT SIX PERCENT. SO THAT VALUE IS GOING UP, WHICH IS WHY KIND OF WE PROPOSE THAT MAYBE THE WAY TO ADDRESS THAT WOULD BE THROUGH DOING A HIGHER SENIOR EXEMPTION FOR THE OVER 65 EXEMPTION. AND WE ALSO DO OFFER THE 10 PERCENT HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE COULD RUN SOME NUMBERS ON AND SEE IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU ALL WOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH. BUT THAT IS ONE WAY. WE DO HAVE A POLICY OUR OVER 65 POLICY IS TO STAY RIGHT AROUND 33 PERCENT OF THE MEDIAN SENIOR EXEMPTION OF THOSE ACCEPTING THAT EXEMPTION. SO CURRENTLY THAT WAS WHY TO RAISE TO THE 90000 THAT MIGHT HELP WITH THAT OVER 65 EXEMPTION. SO WITH A MEDIAN VALUE INCREASE OF SIX PERCENT. SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN INFLATION IS SETTING IN AND PRICES ARE GOING UP, COSTS TO THE CITY ALSO GO UP. SO JUST TO BE MAINTAIN COMPETITIVENESS, WE HAVE A THREE PERCENT MERIT INCREASE ON SALARIES AND SALARIES REPRESENT ROUGHLY 70 PERCENT OF OUR BUDGET. AND SO, YOU KNOW, JUST TO KEEP THE EXISTING STAFF, YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN INCREASE IN THE COST, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, THE COST OF EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, GOING UP. SO THE I GUESS THE ONE CONFUSION WHEN PEOPLE SAY WHEN THEY'RE JUST LOOKING AT NO NEW REVENUE RATE, IT'S NOT ALSO COMPARING THAT TO, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD A NO NEW EXPENSE WITH IT AS WELL. YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU COULD COMPARE THOSE TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT PART OF THE CONVERSATION, I THINK GETS FORGOTTEN WHEN ANALYZING THAT. [01:30:03] SO ANOTHER POINT ABOUT THE HOMESTEAD AND SENIOR EXEMPTION SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT OUT THERE RIGHT NOW IS IN ORDER FOR US TO CHANGE THOSE FOR THIS BUDGET, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE PASSED THOSE PRIOR TO JULY 1ST. SO WHAT WE WILL BE DOING ON BUDGET AND AUDIT AND WHATNOT IS OVER THE COMING MONTHS, LOOKING AT THOSE FOR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND THE CHANGES FOR NEXT YEAR, SINCE WE'RE PAST THAT TIME. AND A LOT OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE PANDEMIC AND COVID AND SALES TAX WAS ALL OVER THE MAP FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. AND THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER UNCERTAINTIES IN THAT REGARD. SO WE LEFT THOSE ALONE FOR THE TIME BEING. ONE OF THE THINGS IS YOU WERE TALKING--I WROTE THIS DOWN IN MY NOTES WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY AND MAYBE THIS IS NOT A BUDGET FOR NON BUDGET PEOPLE EXPLANATION FOR EVERY ONE CENTS IN A DECREASE TO THE RATE. SO IF WE WANTED TO GET DOWN TO THE THREE AND A HALF PERCENT MARK THAT WOULD THIS YEAR RESULT IN SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS HIT TO THE BUDGET. OUR PUBLIC SAFETY INCREASE ALONE IS TEN MILLION DOLLARS TO THE BUDGET. AND ONE OF THE KEY NUMBERS THAT I THINK WAS VERY IMPACTFUL WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HIRING THE TWENTY SEVEN PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS, IS THAT FOR EVERY POLICE OFFICER THAT WE HIRE NEW IS A TWO HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS COST TO US THAT FIRST YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE TRAINING, BECAUSE OF THE SALARY, BECAUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT, BECAUSE OF THE CAR, BECAUSE OF ALL THAT WE HAVE TO ADD TO IT. SO AS WE GROW AND AS WE NEED MORE POLICE OFFICERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS, THERE'S NOT JUST THE COST OF THE SALARY THAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT. SO THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THAT COST COMES IN. SO AS I THINK WE'VE ALL COMMITTED I KNOW WE'VE ALL COMMITTED IN OUR CAMPAIGNS AND EVERYONE ASKS FOR IT TO BE OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AS FIRST RESPONDERS. IF THAT'S TRULY THE CASE, THEN WE HAVE TO THERE'S A COST TO THAT. AND THIS YEAR, THE COST IS A TEN DOLLARS MILLION INCREASE TO JUST GET TO THAT LEVEL OF 27. YEAH, I THINK TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT TO SHONA, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST REMINDED OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S MONTHLY REPORT THAT SHOWED THAT YEAR TO DATE, BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED IN OUR CITY, WE'VE HAD ABOUT A 28 PERCENT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS, WHETHER IT'S RESCUE OR E.M.S. AND THAT NUMBER WAS REALLY SHOCKING TO ME BECAUSE THAT'S ALMOST TWELVE HUNDRED INCIDENTS THAT HAVE INCREASED YEAR TO DATE IN OUR CITY. SO IF WE ARE TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH RATE OF OUR CITY, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO INVEST IN HEADCOUNT AND PUBLIC SAFETY. WE DO STILL HAVE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHER INPUT, SO WE ENCOURAGE FEEDBACK FROM OUR CITIZENS. SO WITH THAT, THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 28, WHICH IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON [28. Consider and act upon approval of a Resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2022 Certified Appraisal Roll for Tax Year 2021. (Budget/JH)] APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 CERTIFIED APPRAISAL ROLL FOR THE TAX YEAR 2021. SO THE CITY HAS RECEIVED THE FISCAL YEAR 22 CERTIFIED ROLL AS APPROVED BY THE APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARDS. WITH THE TAXABLE VALUE OF THE THIRTY SIX POINT SIX DOLLARS BILLION. THE CERTIFIED VALUES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND THEY ARE USED TO CALCULATE OUR NO NEW REVENUE RATE AND OUR VOTER APPROVAL RATE TAX CALCULATIONS. AND THIS IS A CONSIDERED AND ACT. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 CERTIFIED APPRAISAL ROLL FOR THE TAX YEAR 2021, SECOND MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY DAN ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM TWENTY NINE. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE IN SUPPORT OF A MUNICIPAL [29. Consider and act upon approval of an Ordinance in support of a Municipal Setting Designation (MSD) application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for the former Hutson Industries located at 1000 Hutson Drive, Frisco, Texas. (Engineering/TF)] SETTING DESIGNATION APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ON THE FORMER HUDSON INDUSTRIES LOCATED AT 1000 HUDSON DRIVE. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM HAS TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY REFERENCE THERE. THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN THE TCEQS VOLUNTEER CLEANUP PROGRAM FOR OVER TWO DECADES AND THERE'S BEEN SOIL EXCAVATION. THERE'S BEEN MONITORING WELL, GROUNDWATER WELLS INSTALLED. AND SO THE THIS CLEANUP AND MONITORING PROCESS IS CULMINATED AND THE APPLICANT SEEKING TO OBTAIN A DESIGNATION ON THE PROPERTY THROUGH THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THE USE OF ANY GROUNDWATER FOR POTABLE OR NON POTABLE USE. HOWEVER, FOR THE STATE TO EXECUTE THAT DESIGNATION ON THIS PROPERTY, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ORDINANCE APPROVED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT THAT PROVIDES WATER SERVICE TO THE TO THE PROPERTY. AND SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM. TONIGHT, THE APPLICANT HAS A PROFESSIONAL GEOLOGIST, MS. VALERIE HONEYCUTTT, WHO'S BEEN WORKING ON THE SITE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. SHE HAS A BRIEF TECHNICAL PRESENTATION WITH SOME NUMBERS AND SOME DIAGRAMS IN THERE JUST TO ACQUAINT YOU WITH THE PROPERTY. SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MS. HONEYCUTTT. HI THERE. [01:35:08] AS HE SAID, MY NAME IS VALERIE HONEYCUTTT. I WORK FOR A COMPANY CALLED COMPLIANCE PARTNERS AND IT'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING FIRM REPRESENTING THE OWNERS OF PROPERTY. AND WE'RE HERE TO REQUEST MUNICIPAL SETTING DESIGNATION FROM THE CITY OF FRISCO. SO I SHOULD PROBABLY TURN MY SLIDE ON, SHOULDN'T I? LET'S SEE LET'S PICK A BUTTON. THAT WASN'T IT. MAYBE THIS BUTTON. OK, SO THERE'S A LOVELY VIEW OF THE BUILDING. PROPERTY'S LOCATED AT 1000 HUDSON DRIVE, THAT'S FORMER MANUFACTURING FACILITY THAT BEGAN OPERATIONS IN 1977, CLOSED IN 2014. AN ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED IN 1996 THAT IDENTIFIED VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, ABBR. VOCS, SPECIFICALLY CHLORINATED SOLVENTS IN THE SOIL AND GROUNDWATER. AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ EVERYTHING ON THE SLIDE. I'M KIND OF GIVING AN OVERVIEW. SO THE RELEASE IS HISTORIC. THE MOST LIKELY IDENTIFIED ON-SITE SOURCE WAS A FORMER DRUM STORAGE AREA USED FOR THE ABOVE GROUND, NOT BURIED STORAGE OF DRUMS THAT CONTAIN SOLVENTS. AND THAT WAS BETWEEN ABOUT 1983 AND 88. DRUMS WERE REMOVED IN 1988 FOR A PROPER OFFSITE DISPOSAL. APPROXIMATELY 120 CUBIC YARDS OF AFFECTED SOIL WAS EXCAVATED FROM THAT SOURCE AREA IN 1997, SO NO OTHER CONTINUED SOURCE RELEASE WAS DISCOVERED. THAT WAS THE BIG ONE FOR THIS. THE EPA DELEGATES REGULATORY AUTHORITY TO THE STATE OF TEXAS THROUGH THE TCEQ TO ADMINISTER ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS. SO THIS PROPERTY ENTERED THE TCEQ VOLUNTARY CLEANUP PROGRAM, OR VCP, IN JULY OF 1999 BASED ON THE ELEVATED, CHLORINATED SOLVENT CONCENTRATIONS IN THE SOIL AND GROUNDWATER. TCEQ HAS PROVIDED OVERSIGHT AND APPROVAL OF ALL ONSITE ACTIVITIES. SO LET'S SEE, HOPE I'M ON SLIDE NUMBER FOUR. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM. SO INVESTIGATION AND CLEANUP ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR 25 YEARS SINCE 1996, INCLUDING COLLECTION OF SAMPLES FROM SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE SOIL, SEDIMENT, SURFACE WATER, GROUNDWATER. NOTE THAT AFTER THE DRUMS AND CONTAMINATED SOIL REMOVED FROM THE SOURCE AREA, THE GROUNDWATER CLEANUP AND TREATMENT OPTIONS WERE CONSIDERED BY THE OWNER, INCLUDING PUMPING TREATS OR SLURRY TRENCHES. THOSE WERE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE SUBSURFACE OF THE PROPERTY. HOWEVER, IT'S A VERY FRACTURED AND WEATHERED LIMESTONE IT'S LOCATED WITHIN FIVE TO 12 FEET OF THE GROUND SURFACE THERE, THOSE OPTIONS WERE DISQUALIFIED BY THE CONSULTING ENGINEERS AT THAT TIME AS INEFFECTIVE FOR CLEANING UP GROUNDWATER IN FRACTURED LIMESTONE; JUST DOESN'T WORK ALL THAT GREAT. SO 44 GROUNDWATER MONITORING WELLS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BETWEEN 1997 AND 2019. THE ONGOING COLLECTION OF GROUNDWATER SAMPLES IS USED TO DETERMINE THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF THE SHALLOW CONTAMINANT GROUNDWATER PLUME. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT SAYS 28 ON IT, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT TO MONITOR NATURAL ATTENUATION OR M&A WAS CHOSEN AND APPROVE BY THE TCEQ TO ENSURE THAT CRITICAL GROUNDWATER PCLS OR PROTECTIVE CONCENTRATION LEVELS, JUST THEIR ABBREVIATION FOR THE NUMBER THAT THEY WANT TO REACH, ARE NOT EXCEEDED DOWN GRADIENT OF THE PLUME THAT WE'VE GOT. YOU SEE, THE PLUME IS I'M NOT SURE WHICH BUTTON. THIS BUTTON, I THINK SHOWS THERE'S OUR PLUME RIGHT THERE. THE M&A IS THE PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN OF THESE CONTAMINANTS OVER TIME, AND M&A IS WORKING TO REDUCE THE CONTAINMENT CONCENTRATIONS TO THE TCEQ'S CRITICAL GROUNDWATER PCLS. SO THE TCEQ APPROVED M&A IN 2008, AND FOR 13 YEARS, GROUNDWATER SAMPLES HAVE BEEN OBTAINED TWICE A YEAR FROM IN AND AROUND THE PLUME WITH A YEARLY REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE TCEQ. AND YOU CAN SEE THIS FIGURE SHOWS ALL THE WELLS THAT WERE INSTALLED. WE HAVE HAD SOME DOWN HERE. WE GOT THEM OVER HERE AND WE INSTALLED WELLS ALL OVER THE PLACE. BUT THE PLUME IS DEFINED RIGHT THERE AND IT'S BEEN RECEDING AND THE CONTAMINANT CONCENTRATION HAS BEEN DIMINISHING OVER TIME. SO THE AFFECTED GROUNDWATER IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY THREE AND A HALF TO EIGHTEEN FEET BELOW GROUND SURFACE IN A WEATHERED AND FRACTURED LIMESTONE, LIKE I SAID, A SOLID LIMESTONE GROUNDWATER'S SHALLOW, AND THE GROUNDWATER GRADIENT IS GENERALLY TO THE SOUTHWEST. AND THE GROUNDWATER GRADIENT IS GOING THIS WAY. AND PRESTON DRIVE, JUST IN CASE ANYONE CARES, IS RIGHT HERE. AND THIS IS HICKORY. SO MOVING ON TO THE GEOLOGY, THE BEDROCK IN THIS AREA IS CALLED THE AUSTIN CHALK, AND IT'S UNDERNEATH THE SOIL WITHIN FIVE TO 10 FEET OF GROUND SURFACE, HENCE THE FRACTURED LIMESTONE REALLY CLOSE TO THE SURFACE, AND THAT'S WITHIN FIVE TO 12 FEET. THAT'S WHERE THE CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER IS FOUND. AND BELOW ABOUT 10 TO 12 FEET IS A MORE COMPETENT OR SOLID LIMESTONE. SO THESE ARE JUST LOVELY GEOLOGIC PICTURES THAT YOU CAN GET OFF OF THE TEXAS STUFF. AND THIS ONE IS THE SURFACE BEDROCK. THIS IS AN AQUITARD AND THIS IS AN UNDERLYING AQUIFER. AND I'M GOING TO IDENTIFY THAT IN JUST A SECOND. [01:40:04] LET'S SEE, WE HAVE A 55 FOOT WELL MW14S INSTALLED AT THE SOURCE AREA WHERE THE DRUMS WERE. THE WELLS ONLY SCREEN FROM FORTY FIVE TO FIFTY FIVE FEET, WHICH MEANS ONLY WATER FROM THAT DEPTH WILL ENTER THE WELL. THAT WELL IS CLEAN AND CONTAMINATION AT THE SOURCE AREA DIDN'T MAKE IT DOWN THROUGH THE ROCK INTO THAT WELL. SO THE AUSTIN CHALK IS ABOUT 200 FEET THICK. THE UNDERLYING EAGLE FORD, WHICH IS THE ONE THAT'S AQUITARD, IS ABOUT THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED FEET THICK AN AQUITARD, IS A GEOLOGIC FORMATION THAT ALLOWS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID TO PASS THROUGH. SO THE AQUIFER'S UNDERNEATH THAT. SO QUICKLY MOVING ON. THERE WE GO. THE THREE REGISTERED WATER WELLS LOCATED WITHIN A HALF MILE, ALL OF THEM ARE PLUGGED. NO LOCAL WELLS ARE THREATENED OR AFFECTED. AND ONE OF THE THREE IS OWNED ACTUALLY BY THE HUDSON'S. IT'S PLUGGED. THE OTHER TWO ARE CITY OF FRISCO WELLS THAT, AS FAR AS I KNOW, WERE NOT IN OPERATION EITHER. THEY'RE HERE, SITES HERE. OK, LET'S SEE, PLUME MANAGEMENT ZONE WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE APPROVED BY THE TCEQ IN 2008. THE PLUME MANAGEMENT ZONE IS THIS OUTLINE HERE AND IT ENCOMPASSES THE PLUME. GROUNDWATER'S TESTED TWICE A YEAR TO MONITOR THE PLUME PROGRESS, WHICH, LIKE I SAID, IS RECEDING. AND THIS TABLE, WHICH I KNOW EVERYONE'S GOING TO LOOK AT VERY INTENTLY, SHOWS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS, ALL ARE BELOW THE CRITICAL PCLS WHEN WE APPLY THE MSD. THAT MEANS THE SOIL CONTAINMENT AT CONCENTRATIONS ARE PROTECTIVE OF HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL SOIL EXPOSURE PATHWAYS. AND THE NUMBER, YEAH, HERE'S THE PCL, THE ONLY EXCEEDANCES THIS WAS DUG UP AND I THINK THIS WAS AS WELL. SO, NEXT ONE. SO THIS TABLE SHOWS THE HIGHEST GROUNDWATER CONCENTRATIONS, ALL ARE BELOW THE CRITICAL PCLS WHEN WE APPLY THE MSD AS BEFORE MEANS THE GROUNDWATER CONTAMINANT CONCENTRATIONS ARE PROTECTIVE OF HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL EXPOSURE PATHWAYS EXCEPT DRINKING THE GROUNDWATER THAT IS PROHIBITED BY THE MSD. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S FOR. AND AGAIN, I'VE GOT THE CRITICAL PCLS MARKED. ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT IS AN MSD? IT'S AN ORDINANCE OR A DEED RESTRICTION AFFECTING ONLY THE DESIGNATED PROPERTY FOR WHICH THE MSD IS REQUESTED, IT RESTRICTS THE USE OF GROUNDWATER FROM THE PROPERTY FOR POTABLE OR DRINKING PURPOSES. IT RECOGNIZES THAT SHALLOW GROUNDWATER IN MOST URBAN AREAS IS NOT USED AND ELIMINATES THE NEED TO CLEAN UP THAT SHALLOW GROUNDWATER TO POTABLE STANDARDS. IT IS A TOOL USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE VOLUNTARY CLEANUP PROGRAM TO ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION. AND THIS PROPERTY DOES MEET CITY AND STATE CRITERIA FOR AN MSD. SO WHY USE AN MSD? WELL, ASIDE FROM ALLOWING PROPERTIES TO BE DEVELOPED, MORE IMPORTANTLY, MSDS PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT BY RESTRICTING THE USE OF THE GROUNDWATER FROM THE PROPERTY. THE TCEQ RECOMMENDS THAT THE BEST WAY TO LIMIT RISK AND LIMIT EXPOSURE IS BY REMOVING THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT RISK FOR EXPOSURE. SO MSD DOES THAT BY REMOVING THE POSSIBILITY OF DRINKING THAT GROUNDWATER. THE NEXT STEP INCLUDES SUBMITTAL OF A REPORT TO THE TCEQ ALONG WITH THE ORDINANCE IF IT'S APPROVED. THE TCEQ WILL DO A VERY THOROUGH REVIEW BEFORE MAKING THEIR DECISION. HOWEVER, AS I MENTIONED, THIS PROPERTY DOES MEET THE CITY AND STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN MSD. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? JUST REAL QUICK. IN SUMMARY, WHAT I HEARD WAS THE PLUME IS SHRINKING AND. IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS, THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL CONTAMINATION THAT'S EXPECTED. THAT'S CORRECT. THE EXISTING CONTAMINATION IS THERE. IT IS RECEDING AND LEVELS ARE GOING DOWN OVER TIME. IT'S A SLOW PROCESS, BUT IT DOES GO DOWN OVER TIME. AND IT IS CONFINED TO THE PROPERTY, THE PLUME WAS COMPLETELY ON THAT PROPERTY. HAD SOMEONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. ASK ANOTHER QUESTION. SURE. BUT IN SUMMARY ON THIS AS WELL, IT ALLOWS YOU TO CLEAN UP THE GROUNDWATER, BUT YOU'RE STILL NOT GOING TO BE USING IT FOR POTABLE WATER. THE GROUNDWATER, THE CLEANUP IS MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION, WHICH IS THAT, LIKE I SAID, BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, PHYSICAL BREAKDOWN OF THE CHEMICALS. AND NO ONE IS DRINKING THE GROUNDWATER. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE IS FOR, TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM IN THE FUTURE PUTTING A WELL ON THE PROPERTY AND DRINKING THE SHALLOW GROUNDWATER. I HAVE A DEEPER WELL AND IT'S CLEAN, THE 55 FOOT WELL, BUT JUST WELLS ARE PROHIBITED. AND THAT WAY YOU ELIMINATE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE. TCEQ LIKES TO MANAGE RISK. AND WE MANAGE THE RISK IN THESE CASES BY THE PROBLEM IS DRINKING THE GROUNDWATER SO DON'T DRINK THE GROUNDWATER. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT THIS WILL HELP PREVENT SOMEBODY IN [01:45:01] THE FUTURE, MAYBE IF THEY ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY TO NOT DRINK SHALLOW GROUNDWATER. YES, YEAH, IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED UNLESS YOU ALL PASS AN ORDINANCE THEN OR PASS I GUESS SOMETHING PULLING THE ORDINANCE OR WHATEVER THE PROCESS IS FOR REVOKING IT, I THINK THAT'S--USING THE WATER FOR ANYTHING ELSE? COULD THEY STILL TAKE THE WATER OFF-SITE AND USE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE? AS IT MEETS CITY REQUIREMENTS, WELLS CAN BE DRILLED ANYWHERE OFF-SITE. FRANKLY, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRILLING ANY WELLS INTO THE VERY SHALLOW WATER ANYWHERE OR DRINKING IT ANYWHERE, ANY TIME NOW. I'VE NEVER HAD A DESIRE TO DO IT. [LAUGHTER] I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT. AS WE'RE BUILT OUT AND WE HAVE POTABLE WATER COMING FROM THE WATER DISTRICT, LIKELIHOOD OF NEEDING A WELL--I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF IT COULD BE USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE. ARE WE COVERING ALL OF OUR BASES BASICALLY. OK. OK, THANK YOU. SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER HEALTH ISSUES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED IF WE DID NOT DESIGNATE. I'M NOT REALLY BECAUSE NO ONE'S DRINKING THE GROUNDWATER ANYWAY. I MEAN, THIS JUST ALLOWS US TO PROCESS THROUGH THE TCEQ AND GET CLOSURE FROM THE STATE ON THIS. BUT THE WATER IS NOT HURTING ANYONE AS IT STANDS. THIS JUST KEEPS ANYONE IN THE FUTURE, SAY, 10, 15, 20 YEARS FROM NOW, DRILLING A WELL, DIGGING A WELL AND DRINKING THAT WATER. IT JUST WON'T BE ALLOWED. AND SO, OK, THANK YOU, BECAUSE THAT ANSWER BROUGHT UP SOMETHING. SO THIS IS BASICALLY SO THEY CAN GET CLOSURE FROM TCEQ? CORRECT. SO THAT THEY CAN CLOSE ALL THOSE WELLS AND THEY CAN STOP MONITORING IT OR ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE WELLS GOING FORWARD? WE'LL STOP MONITORING BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE TREND IS DOWN. WE HAVE OVER 20 YEARS WORTH OF DATA SHOWING THAT THE CONCENTRATIONS ARE GOING DOWN AND THE PLUME IS RECEDING. I HAVE DATA THAT I COULD SHOW YOU IF NEEDED. I BELIEVE YOU ON THAT. [CHUCKLING] YEAH, I HAVE LOTS OF DATA. THIS ALLOWS THE PROPERTY OWNER TO CLOSE THE WELLS, GET CLOSURE WITH TCEQ, WHICH WOULD CONCEIVABLY THEN ALLOW THE PROPERTY TO BE DEVELOPED AS SOMETHING ELSE, ASSUMING IT MEETS ALL OF OUR ZONING REGULATIONS. YES, THAT IS CORRECT. IT ALLOWS IT TO MOVE ON AND BE A USEFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR THE FUTURE. AND PAUL, YOU SAID WE RESTRICT THE ANY WELLS EVEN IF IT'S TO DRINK IT. OK, THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER. MR. JOHN M. THANK YOU, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. IT TOOK ME 20 YEARS TO LEARN TO PRONOUNCE MCGILLIVRAY, SO I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOUR HESITATION THERE. I'M JOHN MCGILLIVRAY, RESIDENT OF 8483 SANTA CLARA IN FRISCO, 75033. I'M HERE BECAUSE I GOT A LETTER FROM THE CITY ASKING ME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, ALONG WITH 800 OTHER PEOPLE. AND I GUESS I'M ABOUT THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWED UP AND TOOK AN INTEREST IN IT. I WOULD LIKE TO PREFACE MY REMARKS BY SAYING, UNLIKE MS. HONEYCUTTT, I HAVE NO QUALIFICATIONS AS A GEOLOGIST, A CHEMIST OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS. BUT WHEN THEY ASK ME TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BECAUSE I'M VERY ACQUAINTED WITH TECHNICAL MATTERS, EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR NASA, ENGINEERING COMPANIES, I OWN THE MAJOR PART OF AN ENGINEERING DESIGN FIRM, SO I'M NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF MY ELEMENT HERE. SO THE FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THAT I ATTENDED MS. HONEYCUTTT'S, EXCELLENT TECHNICAL PRESENTATION AND. IT APPEARED TO ME THAT HER BASIS FOR THE CONCLUSIONS THAT SHE'S MADE WERE BASED ON TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE, THAT BECAUSE OF THE ROADWAYS AND ALL THAT SURROUND THE PROPERTY, WE'VE PRETTY MUCH GOT THIS THIS THING DAMMED UP AND THAT THE POLLUTION AND THE GROUNDWATER IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I WOULD HASTEN TO POINT OUT THAT THE ROADWAYS THERE PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE A FIVE FOOT BED. MS. HONEYCUTT'S FIGURES FOR THE GROUNDWATER LEVELS THE WATER TABLE IS FIVE TO 20 FEET, SO ANY WATER THAT'S THERE IS QUITE CAPABLE OF FLOWING BENEATH THE ROADWAY SYSTEM. [01:50:01] THE SECOND ASSUMPTION THAT THE GEOLOGIST MADE WAS THAT THESE CHEMICALS DO NOT PENETRATE AQUITARDS. EVEN IN A CURSORY A VERY CASUAL EXAMINATION OF THE FACTS SURROUNDING THESE TYPES OF CHEMICALS, THE FIRST THING THAT I SAW WAS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, HOMELAND SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY TELL US THAT THESE CHEMICALS CAN AND DO PENETRATE AQUITARDS OF LIMESTONE, PARTICULARLY WEATHERED LIMESTONE LIKE WE HAVE HERE. THAT MEANS FRACTURED AND ALSO CLAY. SO ALL KINDS OF RED FLAGS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO I RANG THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND HAD VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS WITH HER. I HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT, LIKE MYSELF, SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SITE CLEANED UP. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT AT ALL. THE HUDSON FAMILY HAS BEEN SACKED WITH THIS FOR DECADES. THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THESE GUYS WERE CHILDREN WHEN THIS OCCURRED. SO IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME THAT AS THE CITY OF FRISCO, WE NEED TO GIVE THIS FAMILY AND THEIR EMPLOYEE GEOLOGISTS SOME GUIDANCE IN THESE MATTERS. AND IN THAT EFFORT, I CONTACTED ALAN [INAUDIBLE], WHO IS THE POLLUTION PREVENTION SPECIALIST. HE'S BASED AT KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY. I KNOW THAT'S A FOREIGN PLACE, BUT I I SPOKE WITH HIM BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CLEANUP OF MULTIPLE SITES WHEN THE AIR FORCE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAD TO CLEAN UP MISSILE SITES AND AIR FORCE BASES OF THESE SAME CHEMICALS. SO MR. [INAUDIBLE] HAS VOLUNTEERED HIS ASSISTANCE. AND HE ALSO TELLS ME THAT THERE IS FEDERAL MONEY AVAILABLE TO HELP CLEAN UP THIS SITE. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO TAKE PITY ON THE HUDSON'S WHO HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THIS FOR DECADES TO SEE IF WE CAN'T FIND A WAY TO GET THIS THING SETTLED. LET'S DON'T KICK THIS CAN DOWN THE ROAD ANOTHER 35 YEARS. LET'S GET IT OVER WITH. LET'S CLEAN IT UP AND BE DONE WITH IT. THANK YOU, SIR. [APPLAUSE] DO THE RIGHT THINK. ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OK, COUNCIL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? JUST REALLY QUICK, YOU KNOW, WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THIS WITH EXIDE, AND I THINK THAT SOME OF [INAUDIBLE] AROUND DURING THAT TIME ARE KIND OF HEARING SOME OF THESE SAME CONCERNS, NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THE AIR, BUT ABOUT THE SOIL AND THE AND THE WATER. AND JUST LOOKING AT THIS LAST SLIDE UP HERE, IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO CLEAN IT UP TO A LESSER STANDARD. WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT TO CLEAN IT UP TO A HIGHER STANDARD? AND I'LL KIND OF DEFER TO THE ENGINEER ON THAT, IF YOU DON'T MIND, MA'AM, IF YOU COULD JUST TOUCH ON THAT QUICKLY. BUT I ALSO WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE RESPOND TO SOME OF THE OTHER GENTLEMAN'S COMMENTS, IF YOU'RE SO INCLINED TO. THE LESSER STANDARD IS ALLOWED BY THE TCEQ BECAUSE THE STANDARD THAT YOU START WITH WHEN YOU START DOING AN INVESTIGATION IS THE POTABLE WATER STANDARD, YOU ALWAYS ASSUME YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP TO THE POTABLE WATER STANDARD. IF YOU'RE NOT DRINKING THE WATER, YOU DON'T NEED TO CLEAN UP TO THAT STANDARD. THE WATER IS NOT GOING TO BE CONSUMED. SO YOU CAN CLEAN UP TO ANOTHER STANDARD. IT IS STILL PROTECTIVE OF HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IT'S SAFE TO, YOU KNOW, FOR A CONSTRUCTION WORKER TO BE IF YOU'RE DIG IN AND YOU ENCOUNTER THE GROUNDWATER, THAT'S SAFE. IT'S SAFE FOR EVERYTHING BUT DRINKING. AND SO THE MSD ALLOWS US TO GET TO THIS POINT, BUT NOT HAVE TO GET TO A POINT THAT MAY BE UNOBTAINABLE FOR, YOU KNOW, QUITE SOME TIME. THE M&A IS WHAT'S AND WE'RE NOT DOING ACTIVE CLEANUP. WE'RE MONITORING THE NATURAL ATTENUATION OF THE PROPERTY. AS I SAID, IT'S BREAKING DOWN OVER TIME AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL CLEAN UP. [01:55:05] IT'LL BE PROBABLY 50 YEARS, BUT IT WILL CLEAN UP. IT'S NOT REALLY A SITE THAT IS DIRTY ENOUGH, IF YOU WILL, TO WANT TO INVOLVE, YOU KNOW, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR ANYTHING. EPA REALLY COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THE SITE, TO BE HONEST. IT JUST ISN'T THAT DIRTY. THEY CLEANED UP THE SOURCE. THEY DUG UP THE SOIL AND THAT WAS THE SOURCE THAT WAS CONTAMINATING THE GROUNDWATER. SO NOW WHAT WE HAVE IS RESIDUAL GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION. AND IF YOU'RE NOT DRINKING IT, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. IT JUST YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. IT'S STAYING CONFINED. CHLORINATED SOLVENTS DO PENETRATE. THEY DO GO DOWN THROUGH VARIOUS STUFF. BUT AS I SAID, I HAVE A DEEP WELL, THE 55 FOOTER THAT'S A SCREEN THAT FROM FORTY FIVE FIFTY FIVE FEET, WHICH BASICALLY MEANS THE WATER GOES IN, DOESN'T GO IN THROUGH THE WHOLE DEPTH OF THE WELL IT JUST GOES IN DOWN AT THAT FORTY FIVE FIFTY FIVE FOOT DEPTH AND THAT WELL IS ALWAYS CLEAN. I DO THE GROUNDWATER MONITORING AND TWICE A YEAR OUT THERE AND HAVE BEEN SINCE 2008 OR SOMEWHERE IN THERE AND THAT WELL IS CLEAN. SO, CONTAMINATION IN THE SOURCE AREA HAS NEVER MADE IT DOWN INTO THAT DEEPER WELL. SO IT DOES PENETRATE THROUGH LIMESTONE STUFF BUT IT HAS NOT. IT CAN BUT IT HAS NOT. THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD DEPTH FOR IT TO COME DOWN. AND ALSO I NEVER SAID THAT THE ROADS STOPPED THE PLUME, IT JUST THEY'RE THERE AND THEY PROBABLY HAVE AFFECTED IT SOME, BUT HICKORY WAS PUT IN AFTER ALL THIS STARTED AND SO IT PROBABLY CHANGED THE WAY THE GROUNDWATER PLUME FLOWED, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT AFFECTS IT OR NOT. I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT I KNOW THE PLUME IS ALL CONFINED TO THE NORTH SIDE OF HICKORY NOW BECAUSE I HAVE WELLS ALL AROUND THE PLUME. LET'S SEE THE LESSER STANDARD. SO MAYBE PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE THAT WE BETTER UNDERSTAND SO THE TERM NON POTABLE WATER, SO THE CITY USES REUSED WATER LINES, WE USE NON POTABLE WATER FOR IRRIGATION, GOLF COURSE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PGA OUT AT THE STAR. YOU KNOW, IT'S USED IN MANY DIFFERENT PLACES. HOW DOES I GUESS THIS RISK FACTOR COMPARED TO THINGS LIKE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY? NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND, DO YOU MEAN THIS, NON POTABLE WATER VERSUS THAT NON POTABLE WATER? YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK WHEN PEOPLE JUST HEAR THE TERM IN GENERAL, NON POTABLE WATER, MAYBE IT'S SCARY TO THEM OR I THINK, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THERE CAN BE VARYING LEVELS OF RISK. RIGHT. YOU KNOW, WHILE YOU'RE SLIDE'S, I'M SURE IT MADE PERFECT SENSE TO THE ENGINEERS IN THE AUDIENCE. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BRING IT DOWN TO A LAYMAN'S LEVEL. I APOLOGIZE. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS, YOU KNOW, TO MAYBE PUT IT MORE IN THAT IF YOU'RE EXPLAINING TO A GROUP OF FIFTH GRADERS, HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN IT? YOU MAKE IT HARD ON ME. [CHUCKLING] ONE QUESTION I GET A LOT. THIS IS AN ODD ONE, BUT PEOPLE SEE ME SAMPLING THE GROUNDWATER IN A WELL AND THEY SAY, IS THAT THE WATER I'M DRINKING? IS THAT MY CITY WATER? NO, IT'S NOT. YOUR CITY WATER IS IN PIPES. THIS IS IN THE GROUND. YOU KNOW, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WATER YOU'RE DRINKING. SO YOU DON'T DRINK NON POTABLE WATER BECAUSE THERE'S MAYBE STUFF IN IT THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR US. IT'S AT LEVELS THAT JUST ARE NOT CONSIDERED HEALTHY. AND IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO KILL YOU OR ANYTHING. IT JUST ISN'T HEALTHY TO DRINK. WE HAVE CERTAIN STANDARDS THAT TCEQ AND THE EPA AND WHOEVER OUR CLEAN WATER ACT, WHATEVER, SET CERTAIN STANDARDS FOR DIFFERENT CHEMICALS AND WHATEVER MINERALS IN THE WATER. AND YOU DON'T WANT TOO MUCH OF ANY ONE THING. OR IT CAN START CAUSING ISSUES. ANY WATER [INAUDIBLE] VERY HIGH STANDARD. [INAUDIBLE] THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT [INAUDIBLE] WATER [INAUDIBLE]. SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT CREEK RUNOFF, TOO THEN. OH, DEFINITELY. YEAH, DON'T GO DRINKING THE WATER. IT PROBABLY WON'T HURT YOU IF YOU STEP IN IT KIND OF THING. YEAH. I MEAN, CREEK WATER HAS RUNOFF AND STUFF. DID I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY? YOU SAID TIME IS GOING TO CURE IT ANYWAY. YES. THE PASSAGE OF TIME. IS THAT THE ONLY REMEDY THAT IS GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER. THIS SITE JUST ISN'T CONDUCIVE TO DOING IT WOULD BE PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE AND IT REALLY WOULDN'T ACCOMPLISH MUCH TO DIG UP AND PUMP AND TREAT BECAUSE THE LEVELS JUST [02:00:01] AREN'T ALL THAT HORRIBLY HIGH. SO TIME IS THE GREATEST REMEDY. TIME IS THE GREATEST REMEDY. AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT DRINKING THE WATER, YOU KNOW, KEEP PEOPLE FROM DRINKING IT, TIME DOES HELP. I MEAN, WE APPEAR TO HAVE IT, IT APPEARS TO BE CONFINED TO THE PROPERTY. AND WHEN I SAY CONFINED, I DON'T MEAN THERE'S PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES KEEPING IT ON THE PROPERTY. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT. BUT THAT MAY BE WHERE THE CONFUSION CAME IN. I DID NOT MEAN IT THAT WAY. CONFINED TO THE PROPERTY MEANS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE CONFINED TO THE HOUSE, YOU'RE JUST IN THE HOUSE. YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THE BOUNDARY OF THE HOUSE. IT JUST ISN'T LEAVING. IT WAS A BIGGER PLUME AND TIME HAS CAUSED IT TO SHRINK IN AND DISSIPATE/DEGRADE. TIME SHOWS US IT'S NOT GETTING ANY DEEPER. TIME SHOWS US SHRINKING. YES. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR ANIMALS OR OBVIOUSLY, THE WATER THERE IS NOT POTABLE FOR HUMANS, BUT ANIMALS ON THIS PROPERTY WITH THIS DESIGNATION. WELL, ANIMALS AREN'T DRILLING WELLS. SO IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. I MEAN, IF WE HAD ANIMALS ON THIS PROPERTY, I MEAN, WHAT ARE THE. AGAIN, IT'S GROUND WATER. SO IT'S NOT THE SURFACE WATER. SO, IT HASN'T MADE IT TO THE SURFACE AT THIS POINT? IT HAD AT ONE TIME AFFECTED THE SURFACE WATER AND IT DOES NOT NOW; THAT HAS ALL RECEDED. AS I SAID, OVER TIME, IT HAS RECEDED, IT'S DRAWN IN AND THE SURFACE WATER WAS A VERY MINIMAL CONTAMINATION, AND THAT WENT AWAY OVER TIME AND THEN. IT NO LONGER IS A PROBLEM, THE SURFACE WATER BASICALLY GOT ABSORBED INTO THE GROUND, SO THERE'S NO SURFACE WATER CONCERN AT THIS TIME? NO, THERE IS NOT. YOU SAID, COST PROHIBITIVE. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO CLEAN IT UP? I WOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO TELL YOU BECAUSE THE EQUIPMENT COSTS AND THEN THE LABOR TO SIT THERE AND SET UP A PUMP SYSTEM, I DON'T USUALLY RUN THOSE NUMBERS, THEY DON'T DO PUMP AND TREAT MUCH ANYMORE UNLESS IT'S A REALLY BADLY CONTAMINATED SITE. IN THE YEARS I'VE BEEN DOING THIS, WE'VE HAD ONE FACILITY AND IT ACTUALLY HAD--IT WAS A DRY CLEANER--AND IT HAD HAD ACTUAL DRY CLEANING FLUID IN THE GROUND. AND THEY PUT IN A SLURRY WALL AND THEY WERE PUMPING ACTUAL THE DRY CLEANING FLUID OUT, NOT JUST WATER, THEY WERE PUMPING ACTUAL PERC OUT OF THE GROUND. SO THIS ISN'T TO THAT LEVEL. WE DON'T HAVE WHAT THEY CALL DNAPL DENSE NON AQUEOUS PHASE LIQUID [CHUCKLING], THE CHLORINATED SOLVENT. WE DON'T HAVE THAT. I KNOW, NOT A FIFTH GRADER THING. SORRY. AND WE DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL CHEMICAL, IT'S JUST DISSOLVED AT SMALL CONCENTRATIONS IN THE GROUNDWATER. AND PROBABLY IF YOU WERE TO DRINK IT, IF YOU DRANK ENOUGH OF IT, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ALL THAT GREAT FOR YOU. BUT YOU WOULDN'T LIKE KEEL OVER AND DIE. SO LIKE IF A DOG WERE TO IF I WERE TO DUMP SOMETHING IN A BUCKET AND A DOG CAME UP AND DRINK IT, THEY'D BE FINE. YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS AT THE LEVEL THAT'S GOING TO REALLY, SERIOUSLY INJURED PEOPLE UNLESS THEY'RE DOING IT OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. BUT THE PROBLEM, YOU DO THIS THING FOR THE WELLS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM DOING IT OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, PROHIBIT GROUNDWATER CONSUMPTION, ELIMINATE THE RISK, SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M HOPING I'M ANSWERING THANK YOU FOR THOSE EXPLANATIONS. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ARE YOU DONE WITH ME? MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 29. MAY I HAVE A WORD, SIR? WE'VE ALREADY HAD CITIZEN INPUT, SIR, SO WE DON'T DO REPEATED CITIZEN INPUT. SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AND YOUR COMMENTS. MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM TWENTY NINE, SECOND. MOTION BY DAN, SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR: AYE. OPPOSE THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR CONCERNS. THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 30, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON APPROVAL THE FRISCO MUNICIPAL COURT FACILITY NAMING RECOMMENDATIONS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M PRESENTING THIS ITEM FOR OUR PRESIDING JUDGE. [30. Consider and act upon approval of the Frisco Municipal Court Facility naming recommendation. (Financial Services/AM)] AS YOU KNOW, WE TOURED THE NEW COURT FACILITY LAST COUNCIL MEETING. AND I HOPE YOU WERE ALL PLEASED WITH WHAT YOU SAW THERE. AND IN DOING THE RIBBON CUTTING ON AUGUST 26, AT AROUND 10:00 AM, A JUDGE IS ASKING IF YOU WILL CONSIDER NAMING THE MUNICIPAL COURT BUILDING IN HONOR OF JUDGE EDMUND BURKE WITH THE NAME BEING THE JUDGE EDMUND BURKE FRISCO MUNICIPAL COURTHOUSE AND [02:05:02] JUDGE WROTE FOR YOU, JUDGE BURKE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE WE EVEN HAD RECORDS. APPARENTLY, WE CAN'T REALLY DETERMINE EXACTLY WHEN HE BECAME THE FIRST MUNICIPAL JUDGE FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. BUT HE HAS MANY, MANY INTERESTING STORIES ABOUT HOLDING COURT IN CHURCHES AND OTHER FACILITIES JUST ANYWHERE THAT THEY COULD HOLD COURT. SO HE HAS A LONG RESUME. HE'S BEEN ILL THE LAST FEW YEARS, HE'S ELDERLY. HE STILL DOES WORK FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HE HAS BEEN RELIABLE, DOING BLOOD WARRANTS AND OTHER OFF-HOURS DUTIES REQUIRE A JUDGE, SO WE THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT HONOR FOR JUDGE BURKE. HE AND HIS FAMILY WILL BE THERE THAT DAY, WHETHER YOU DECIDE TO APPROVE THIS NAMING OR NOT. BUT WE WANTED TO BRING THIS FORWARD TO YOU FORMALLY. WELL, IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY. SO I'M COMMITTED TO THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO, SO IT SEEMS LIKE QUITE A WELL-DESERVED HONOR FOR MR. BURKE, BUT COUNCIL ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS RECOMMENDATION? I THINK THE BACKGROUND WORK WAS WAS GREAT. IT MADE IT A LOT EASIER TO JUST HAVING A NAME PUT IN FRONT OF US TO GIVE SOME BACKGROUND ON THAT. IT WAS REALLY QUITE AN AMAZING LIFE AND A GREAT LEGACY FOR THIS FRISCO CITIZEN. TO THE RIBBON CUTTING THE FACILITY IS PHENOMENAL, SO ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE IT AND SEE THE NEW COURTHOUSE AND IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN ADAPTIVE REUSE, AS YOU SAID IN THE BUDGET VIDEO, TURNED OUT REALLY EXTRAORDINARY. YES, WE'RE VERY, VERY PLEASED. AND UNDER BUDGET. AND THE COURT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD MODULE FURNITURE THAT WE'RE HAVING TO TEAR DOWN AT THE OLD FACILITY, BRING TO THE NEW FACILITY. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE TWENTY SIXTH. SO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THERE IS LIKELY NOBODY MORE QUALIFIED TO HAVE BUILDING THIS BUILDING NAMED AFTER THEM. BUT I HAVE A PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCE IN THE NAMING OF FACILITIES. SO I WOULD ONLY SAY THAT MY VOTE IN THIS MATTER SHOULD NOT BE A REFLECTION OF THE JUDGE HIMSELF OR THE GREAT WORK THAT HE'S DONE WITH THE CITY. I JUST HAVE THAT DIFFERENCE. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 30 AND NAME THE NEW FRISCO MUNICIPAL COURT FACILITY THE JUDGE EDMUND BURKE MUNICIPAL COURTHOUSE. SECOND. MOTION BY DAN, SECOND BY JOHN, ALL IN FAVOR AYE. OPPOSED? NAY. THE MOTION PASSES FIVE ONE. THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM THIRTY ONE, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE ADOPTION OF [31. Consider and act upon the adoption of an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 19-10-86, modifying certain rules of procedure for the conduct of public testimony at meetings of the City Council. (City Secretary's Office/JD)] AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 19-10-86, MODIFYING CERTAIN RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC TESTIMONY MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. IF WE HAVE ANYONE PRESENTING ON THIS OR I DON'T KNOW, WE HAVE FIVE SPEAKERS. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY PRESENTING. NO ONE PRESENTING. OK, YEAH GO INTO CITIZEN INPUT. OK, WE HAVE SEVERAL CARDS. WE'RE GOING TO CALL MICHELLE AUSTIN. YOU WANT TO COME ON DOWN, FOLLOWED BY MELINDA PRESTON AND SARAH ROUSSE. AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE, BUT. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. HELLO, MICHELLE AUSTIN, 1012 NAPA VALLEY DRIVE, FRISCO, TEXAS, 75035. HELLO. OK, SO I'M GOING TO START WITH MY THOUGHTS ON THIS IMMEDIATELY. OUR TIME IS A GIFT AND THE GIFT OF TIME, FIVE MINUTES, THREE MINUTES, ANYTHING BUT ONE MINUTE IS DUE US CITIZENS. WE DON'T GET TO MEET YOU GUYS FOR COFFEE EVERY SINGLE TIME. MOST OF THE TIME, REALLY, SILENCE IS GOLDEN. THINGS ARE GOING WELL. YOU DON'T HEAR FROM US, RIGHT? THINGS ARE CUSH. BUT WHEN THINGS ARE GOING ASKEW, WE DESERVE THEIR TIME TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THAT TO THE COUNCIL, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS THAT RIGHT THERE? IT'S NOT A LUXURY. ASK ANYBODY IN THEIR 80S OR 90S THEY ALWAYS WANT WHAT IS IT THEY WANT? THEY WANT MORE TIME. THAT'S WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAY. SO WE'RE ASKING THAT DOES NOT CHANGE AND THAT WE, TOO, CAN HAVE THE LUXURY OF TIME TO SPEAK TO YOU GUYS WHEN WE NEED TO, WHEN WE WANT TO, IF WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO. BUT NORMALLY YOU GUYS ARE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY GOOD. YOU RESPOND VIA E-MAIL, YOU TALK TO US, WE GO TO COFFEE, WE DO STUFF. BUT DON'T TAKE IT AWAY, PLEASE. I'D SAY, YEAH, THAT'S THE VALUE AND THE VALUE FOR US CITIZENS IS TO GIVE US THE [02:10:06] TIME TO HAVE THE CIVIL DISCOURSE, THE CONVERSATIONS AS WE NEED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. MELINDA PRESTON, 13370 BAYFIELD DRIVE, FRISCO, TEXAS, 75033. SIR, YOU'RE AMAZING. WHAT YOU JUST SAID WAS AMAZING AND YOU PROVED MY POINT, HE SPENT A LITTLE OVER FIVE MINUTES, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FRUSTRATED AT WATCHING YOU GUYS TAKE A VOTE, NOT LETTING THIS GENTLEMAN SPEAK WHEN YOU'VE SENT OUT AN EMAIL AND SAID, HEY, WE WANT YOUR OPINION. HE GATHERED THE INFORMATION. HE CAME IN AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO HIM AND YOU JUST TOTALLY BLEW HIM OFF AND YOU VOTED. WHAT IF OUR CHILDREN ARE ON THAT PROPERTY, ANIMALS, WHATEVER ARE ON THAT PROPERTY? WE COULD HAVE AT LEAST TAKEN A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS GENTLEMAN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO, FIRST OF ALL, GET RESOURCES. HE CALLED AROUND AND FOUND INFORMATION FOR YOU. YOU COULD CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY. HE'S GOT THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND I WANT TO HONOR YOU TONIGHT, BECAUSE WHAT YOU DID FOR US IS AMAZING. [APPLAUSE] I AM ASKING THAT WE DO NOT CHANGE THIS IF WE GET FIVE MINUTES AS CITIZENS. I AM FRUSTRATED. I WAS REAL' EXCITED ABOUT COMING IN. TODAY, WE HAD A GREAT MEETING. BRIAN, THANK YOU FOR THIS AFTERNOON. IT WAS GREAT. BUT I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU GUYS. I'VE BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR EIGHT YEARS. I HAVE SEVEN CHILDREN. WE MOVED HERE TO BE IN FRISCO. I'M DISAPPOINTED TONIGHT. VERY SAD. BUT I DO WANT TO THANK YOU. HOW MANY MINUTES DID I USE? HALF SO FAR. A MINUTE AND A HALF, MOST PEOPLE, THAT'S HOW MUCH THEY WILL USE, THERE WILL BE THE OCCASION FOR A GENTLEMAN LIKE THIS WITH THAT KIND OF INFORMATION WHO CAN COME UP AND SHARE. WE SHOULD NEVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM OR ANYONE ELSE. YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT EVENING. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] HELLO, SARAH ROUSSE, 6813 CONCORDE DRIVE, I WANT TO SAY THAT OBVIOUSLY I HAVE STOOD UP HERE AND SPOKE BEFORE YOU AND EXCEEDED MY TIME LIMIT. AND I THOUGHT ALSO THAT THIS EVENING IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY CITIZENS WITH DIFFERING OPINIONS NEED THIS OPPORTUNITY. IN FACT, NEED TO HAVE THE RESPECTED AMOUNT OF YOUR TIME, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH US OR NOT, TO HEAR WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID. AND TAKING FIVE MINUTES AND REDUCING IT TO THREE MINUTES MIGHT NOT GET US THROUGH WHAT WE NEED TO CONVEY TO YOU. SO TO REDUCE THAT TIME FURTHER. RIGHT NOW, IT'S KIND OF A SLAP IN THE FACE. AND QUITE HONESTLY, OPTICALLY BASED UPON HOW PREVIOUS MEETING HAS GONE, BEING TOLD THAT I WASN'T GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK REGARDING THE COUNCIL, THE TIMING OF THIS ORDINANCE AND THE CHANGING FROM FIVE MINUTES TO THREE MINUTES, QUITE FRANKLY, RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK IS APPROPRIATE. IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN DISCUSSING, BUT PROBABLY RIGHT AT THIS POINT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE. AND FURTHERMORE, I THINK THAT GOING FORWARD, YOU NEED TO ASSESS THAT FIVE MINUTES IS MAYBE NOT EVEN ENOUGH TIME FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO TALK TO YOU. IT'S OUR CITY, AND SO OUR INPUT IS ABSOLUTELY VALID AND IT NEEDS TO BE HEARD. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] NEXT, WE HAVE MARK EISENMANN AND THEN CRAIG DOUGLAS. EVERYBODY PRETTY MUCH KNOW ALMOST EVERYONE OF YOU ALL, SAY A FEW, MAYBE MARK EISEMANN 3882 WEST CRESCENT WAY HERE IN FRISCO, A 20 YEAR RESIDENT. LOVE TO ARGUE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE LEFT WING PARTY. GOT NO PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE IT'S MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, LOOK, IF I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO ARGUE WITH YOU ALL ABOUT, SUCH AS THIS RIGHT HERE, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW. TAKING AWAY TIME FROM THE CITIZENS, THINK ABOUT THIS, GUYS, THIRTY FIVE YEARS, THIS RULE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR FIVE MINUTES. SINCE NINETEEN EIGHTY SIX, REALLY? NOW? WHEN PEOPLE ARE MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR CITY? MOST DIVISIVE IN OUR CITY? WE'RE TRYING TO GO FORWARD WITH OUR CITY. [02:15:01] I WANT OUR CITY TO GO FORWARD. I DON'T CARE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, TO DO IT, BUT WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND GO FORWARD AND KEEP GOING FORWARD. I MEAN, YOU GUYS REPRESENT US. PERIOD. YOU WORK FOR US. I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR US TO HEAR THAT RATHER YOU ALL JUST HEAR IT, BUT YOU DO, GUYS. AND IF YOU DON'T GIVE US THE TIME THAT WE NEED AND AGAIN, RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO REALLY TRY TO CHANGE THIS? RIGHT NOW? I GUARANTEE YOU, ALL THE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES, THE PARTIES, ANY PARTY, WE WANT OUR VOICES HEARD WHEN WE'VE GOT AN ISSUE. AND YOU CAN'T JUST STRIP THAT FROM US. IF WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, AGAIN, PRIME EXAMPLE, IF WE'VE DONE OUR HOMEWORK, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, DOGGONE IT, LISTEN TO US. DON'T ACT LIKE WE'RE A BUNCH OF MORONS. I MEAN, IT JUST DRIVES ME NUTS. ABSOLUTELY NUTS. ALL RIGHT. THINK ABOUT IT, TABLE IT, WHATEVER YOU' GOT TO DO, I DON'T CARE. TO DO THIS IS JUST GOING TO BRING MORE DIVISION, MORE ANGER, MORE PASSION, MORE FRUSTRATION FROM US, FRISCONIANS. IT WILL FOR ME, I PROMISE YOU THAT. I'M SICK OF THE SILENCE, THE CANCEL CULTURE. LOOK, GUYS, YOU GUYS ARE RUNNING OUR CITY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE, YOU. YOU HAVE GOT TO LISTEN TO US. FIRST AMENDMENT, YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN TO US GUYS, I DON'T CARE WHAT PARTY WE'RE FROM, YOU'VE GOT TO AT LEAST BE WILLING TO LISTEN TO US AND TO DO THIS CRAP. I MEAN, COME ON. IT'S JUST NOT COOL. IT'S NOT. I COULD GO TO [INAUDIBLE], I COULD GO UP TO HIS OFFICE ANY TIME I WANT, AND HE'LL GIVE ME ALL THE TIME I NEED. WE'VE GOT THE GREATEST POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTRY, IN MY OPINION. I LOVE OUR POLICE. I LOVE THEM DEARLY. AND THEY'LL GIVE ME ALL THE TIME I NEED BECAUSE THEY CARE ENOUGH TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN OUR CITY. YOU KNOW, LOOK WHAT THEY DID LAST WEEK. THAT BOY'S IN JAIL, GOOD. WE'VE GOT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN SOLID OFFICERS, MEN AND WOMEN WHO LOVE OUR CITY AND WILL SIT THERE AND TALK WITH YOU ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET AS LONG AS YOU WANT, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW WE FEEL AS CITIZENS. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. THEY SERVE AND THEY PROTECT. YOU GUYS SERVE, BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO US. YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR EARS AND LISTEN AND DON'T IGNORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS MAN. I MEAN, MY GOSH, HE WORKED FOR NASA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. HE DID HIS HOMEWORK. I MEAN, Y'ALL WERE LIKE, SERIOUSLY, I'M NOT GOING TO CALL YOU OUT. YOU CAN GO LOOK AT THE VIDEO, ONE OF YOU ALL WERE YAWNING UP THERE WHILE HE'S TALKING. HOW RUDE IS THAT? COME ON, GUYS, GET IT TOGETHER. LET'S GO FORWARD WITH THE CITY AND PLEASE DON'T CONSIDER THIS, PLEASE JUST KILL IT. I'M DONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] AND CRAIG DOUGLAS, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. CRAIG DOUGLAS, 8104 GALLEY STREET, FRISCO, TEXAS. EVERYBODY'S KIND OF MENTIONED WHAT I WAS GOING TO MENTION. SO, I'LL JUST MENTION ONE LAST THING. WITH THE MEETING TODAY, THE GOVERNANCE MEETING WAS GREAT, BROUGHT TOGETHER BOTH SIDES, LEFT AND RIGHT, CAME TOGETHER FOR A COMMON CAUSE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING. THAT KIND OF GOES AGAINST THE FRAME THAT YOU WOULD USE AS A POLITICAL WEAPON. SO A QUESTION WAS ASKED AT THAT MEETING TODAY, AND I THOUGHT THE ANSWER WAS VERY INTERESTING IS HOW MANY TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED? THE ANSWER IS LESS THAN 10, HE WENT BY MR. ABERNATHY. CAN YOU KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO THIS AGENDA ITEM, PLEASE. I'M SORRY? CAN YOU KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO THIS AGENDA ITEM, PLEASE? OK. IT'S IN REGARDS TO THIS, BUT THIS THE WHOLE POINT IS YOU MENTIONED TO ME, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE GOVERNANCE MEETING. AND YOUR WHOLE POINT FOR THAT WAS TO DISCUSS. OUR DISCUSSION IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FIVE MINUTES TO TALK. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THAT GENTLEMAN, HE COULD HAVE USED 10, 15. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS THE OPTICS OF THIS TO THE PEOPLE OF FRISCO DOING THIS NOW AFTER THE LAST MEETING THAT WE HAD WHERE IT WAS STATED THIS WAS USED AS A POLITICAL WEAPON, IN THE LAST 10 YEARS THERE'S BEEN LESS THAN 10 BROUGHT, 10 COMPLAINTS. SO LIMITING THIS TO LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES DOWN TO THREE, AND IF MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE TO A MINUTE AND A HALF DOES LOOK LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO ACTUALLY SHUT PEOPLE LIKE ME AND SARAH UP. SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION. THE OPTICS OF THIS AFTER HEARING THAT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS WE'VE HAD LESS THAN 10 [02:20:02] LOOKS JUST LIKE, OK, WELL, NOW WE'RE TAKING A STEP TO SHUT PEOPLE UP. AND I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HADN'T BEEN COVERED BY WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SPOKE ABOUT. BUT THAT'S MY VIEW OF IT. I THINK GOING BACK TO THREE MINUTES IS A MISTAKE. AND WITH THAT, I'M DONE. THANK YOU, SIR. [APPLAUSE] IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? WELL, I THINK JUST SOME QUICK COMMENTS ON ON BACKGROUND, YOU KNOW, QUITE FRANKLY, I WAS SURPRISED MYSELF TO SEE THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA. I THINK IT WAS KIND OF BORNE OUT OF A DISCUSSION WE HAD A FEW MONTHS AGO REGARDING EQUITY WHEN THERE'S MORE THAN 10 SPEAKERS. SO WHEN THERE'S MORE THAN 10 SPEAKERS, THE COUNCIL HAS THE RIGHT TO MOVE IT FROM, I THINK, FIVE TO THE THREE MINUTES. AND I THINK THERE WAS DISCUSSION SURROUNDING THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SHOULDN'T GET LESS TIME JUST BECAUSE THERE'S MORE SPEAKERS AND JUST KEEP EVERYONE AT A FLAT THREE MINUTES. AND I DON'T THINK WE'VE HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE IT ON THE AGENDA. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I PERSONALLY SUPPORT. YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT YOU'VE SEEN FROM THIS COUNCIL IS AS LONG AS PEOPLE ARE PRESENTING TO US IN A RESPECTFUL WAY, THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A HISTORY OF HEARING ALL OF OUR CITIZENS OUT AND OUR CITIZENS DO A GOOD JOB OF PRESENTING TO US IN A RESPECTFUL WAY, JUST LIKE YOU DID THIS EVENING, AS FAR AS SHARING YOUR CONCERNS, WE TRY TO HAVE MULTIPLE VENUES FOR US TO GET CITIZEN FEEDBACK. I MEAN, HAVING TOWN HALLS THAT WE HOST ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, COFFEES WITH THE MAYOR, PEOPLE MEETING YOU PRIVATELY. I THINK EVERYONE ON THIS COUNCIL HAS SHOWN A WILLINGNESS TO SIT DOWN AND HEAR THE RESIDENTS' CONCERNS. AND QUITE FRANKLY, WE GET FRUSTRATED BECAUSE WE ASK FOR MORE INPUT. AND, YOU KNOW, MANY OF THE RESIDENTS IN FRISCO ARE HAPPY AND ARE GOING ABOUT THEIR DAILY LIVES AND DON'T PROVIDE THAT INPUT. YOU KNOW, TONIGHT DURING A BUDGET MEETING, WE HAD HARDLY ANYONE SHOW UP. AND THAT'S USUALLY THE CASE IN EVERY SINGLE CYCLE. AND SO THE EXPEDIENTS OF HOW WE RUN MEETINGS, IF YOU DO WANT TO HAVE A 15 MINUTE CONVERSATION ON AN ISSUE OR REALLY DEEP DOVE, THERE PROBABLY IS A BETTER MECHANISM TO DO THAT. AND IT'S WHERE YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE DIRECT CONTACT OR DIRECT CONVERSATION, USUALLY DURING CITIZEN INPUT, WE CAN'T EVEN RESPOND TO CITIZEN INPUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A POSTED AGENDA ITEM. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS. I THINK THEY'RE ALL VALID POINTS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DON'T USE MORE THAN THREE MINUTES. BUT I'M CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE OF GIVING PEOPLE FLEXIBILITY TO THE FIVE MINUTES. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A CHANGE THAT I PERSONALLY SUPPORT. SO WITH THAT COUNCIL, IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR. YEAH, I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. ONE, TWO GENTLEMEN, EARLIER TODAY, I THINK WERE VERY POWERFUL AND SOME OF THE THINGS I SAID FROM OUR BOYS STATE. ONE OF THEM SAID WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS. AND THE OTHER ONE SAID CIVIL DISCOURSE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF OUR GOVERNMENT. AND I WROTE THOSE DOWN BECAUSE I FIND THEM VERY IMPACTFUL. WE CONSISTENTLY SAY THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS THE BEST PLACE FOR YOU TO GET INVOLVED, AND IT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO YOU HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT ADDRESSING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT YOU. AND I DO NOT SUPPORT IN ANY WAY LIMITING THAT ENGAGEMENT. I THINK THAT. THERE'S A PROCESS TO FOLLOW AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE PROCESSES APPROPRIATELY BECAUSE WE WANT EVERYBODY TO GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK AND STILL HAVE THE MEET THE MEETING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ON. BUT I DO NOT SUPPORT LIMITING THE TIME ANY FURTHER THAN THAT FIVE MINUTES THAT'S ALREADY THERE. I THINK IT'S JUST IT SETS THE TONE THAT CIVIL DISCOURSE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AND I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT LIMITS PARTICIPATION IN OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT, PERIOD. WELL SAID, I WOULD ECHO THOSE SAME COMMENTS. YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY VENUE. I THINK OUR EMAILS ARE ON THE CITY WEBSITE. YOU CAN CERTAINLY CONTACT US. WE HAVE CITY PHONE NUMBERS. MY CELL PHONE IS 214-587-0827. THAT'S MY PERSONAL CELL. YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE NUMBER THAT IS ON THE WEBSITE THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO MY PHONE. TO YOUR CREDIT, SIR, YOU DID REACH OUT TO US. YOU AND I, I THINK, HAD A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION, I THINK ALMOST AN HOUR LONG. AND THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT AT A FIFTH GRADE LEVEL FOR ME [CHUCKLING] THAT WAS MY JOKE. BUT AND YOU ALSO SENT AN EMAIL FOLLOWED UP THAT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE DETAILED WITH ATTACHMENTS THAT I DID FOR THE CITY STAFF AND FOLLOWED UP WITH QUESTIONS. SO I HAD A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS ALREADY ANSWERED. NOW, IT DIDN'T NECESSARILY PLAY OUT HERE IN THE IN THE MEETING, BUT YOU DID, I THINK, HEAR US ASK QUESTIONS AND HAVE A CONCERN, CERTAINLY FOR THE GROUNDWATER, FOR THE [02:25:04] CLEANUP. WAS THIS AN ACTIVE CLEANUP OR PASSIVE? I THINK SO OF MY COLLEAGUES COMMENTED TO THAT. AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO FOLLOW UP WITH US AND WELL, WE WOULD LOVE YOUR HELP WITH THAT, BUT BY ALL MEANS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE MORE DAY IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TOMORROW TO CALL ME OR ANY OF THESE FOLKS UP HERE. NONE OF US WOULD EVER PRESUME TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL OR FOR THE MAYOR OR FOR THE CITY MANAGER, FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT ANYBODY UP HERE'LL TAKE YOUR CALL, TAKE YOUR E-MAIL. LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ANYBODY HERE. THE NOTION THAT WE WOULDN'T, I THINK THAT'S THE SCARY PART. SO FIVE MINUTES TO THREE MINUTES. YOU KNOW, THERE'S OTHER VENUES THAN WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE. YOU KNOW THAT, YOU EXERCISE THAT. AND I APPLAUD THAT EFFORT. I KNOW YOU HAVE MORE TO SAY, AND I LOVE TO HEAR IT. SO ON THAT NOTE, I'LL PASS THE MIC. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE WHOLE CONVERSATION ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO THREE MINUTES WAS AN ACADEMIC ONE. I THINK MOST OF US ARE SURPRISED TO SEE THIS ON THE AGENDA. AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I SUPPORT. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT TOO. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER COMMENTS. I'LL MAKE A COMMENT. SO, AS JOHN STATED, OUR PHONE NUMBERS AND OUR EMAIL ADDRESSES ARE ON THE WEBSITE. PLEASE CALL US. EMAIL US. I DON'T KNOW OF A COUNCIL MEMBER WHO DOESN'T TAKE TIME TO RETURN CALLS OR TO REPLY TO E-MAILS OR EVEN MEET IN PERSON FOR COFFEE OR A LUNCH. BEFORE I WAS ON THE DAIS, I TALKED TO MULTIPLE COUNCIL MEMBERS. NOT ONLY WOULD THEY RETURN CALLS OR, YOU KNOW, MEET FOR LUNCH, THEY WOULD ALSO COME OUT TO EVENTS SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY. SO I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE THAT ISSUE HERE IN FRISCO. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AND TALK, THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS REACHING OUT DIRECTLY TO THAT SPECIFIC COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU KNOW, OR THE MAYOR, IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE AND SPEAK, YOU KNOW, WE OBVIOUSLY WANT YOU TO SPEAK, SO I BELIEVE IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK, I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AND I'M FINE WITH THE FIVE MINUTES AND THE WAY THAT IT'S BEEN, BUT I DO IMPLORE EVERYBODY TO REACH OUT TO US, COMMUNICATE WITH US. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD. AND I WOULD ECHO WHAT YOU'VE HEARD A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT, WHETHER IT'S THREE TO FIVE MINUTES. HONESTLY, I HAVE NO CONCERN IF WE LEFT IT AT FIVE MINUTES. WHAT I WILL SAY IS RESPECT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TWO-WAY DIALOG, ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. BUT TONALITY AND RESPECT WHEN WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS, I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EACH OTHER AND TO SEEK RESOLUTION. I THINK WHERE THINGS GO SOUR, WHETHER IT'S THREE MINUTES OR FIVE MINUTES, IS WHEN THE CONVERSATION BECOMES ANTAGONISTIC AND THAT'S WHEN COMMUNICATION SHUTS DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE ALL HUMAN AND NO ONE WANTS TO BE ATTACKED. SO I WOULD SAY ABSOLUTELY SUPPORTIVE OF FIVE MINUTES, BUT LET'S JUST MAINTAIN CIVILITY. LET'S ENSURE THAT THERE IS MUTUAL RESPECT. AND REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL ON ONE TEAM, AND THAT'S TEAM FRISCO. I GUESS I'M LAST. IN THE INTEREST OF KEEPING IT SHORT AND SWEET, I AGREE THAT IT SHOULD BE LEFT AT THE FIVE MINUTES AND MR. MAYOR, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE JUST SIMPLY TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS AND MOVE ON. I DO HAVE A QUESTION, RICHARD, WOULD THAT BE THE APPROPRIATE, JUST TAKE NO ACTION? OK. OK, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OK, WELL, ITEM THIRTY ONE, THERE'LL BE NO ACTION TAKEN. THAT'LL TAKE US TO THIRTY TWO CITY COUNCIL. [APPLAUSE] ITEM THIRTY TWO CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION WITH CITY STAFF CONCERNING ANY [32. City Council discussion with City Staff concerning any actions required by City Staff as a result of any item on tonight's agenda.] ACTIONS REQUIRED BY CITY STAFF AS A RESULT OF TONIGHT'S AGENDA. DID WE NOTE ANYTHING AS FOLLOW UP? THIRTY THREE IS GOVERNANCE MONITORING. [33. Discussion on Governance Monitoring of present City Council Meeting.] GOVERNANCE MONITORING TONIGHT, ACTUALLY A LONGER AGENDA THAN WHAT I THINK SOME OF US ANTICIPATED. BUT EVERYBODY GOT TO SPEAK. THE MEETING WAS MANAGED WELL. SO I WILL GIVE US AN A FOR TONIGHT. WITH THAT, I LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SO MOVED. SECOND. MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY BRIAN, ALL IN FAVOR: AYE. OPPOSED? [02:30:01] THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 9:33 P.M.. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
