BY NIGHT, WELL, I'M STILL AN ADVOCATE FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE PREVENTION JUST WITH MORE SPARKLES. THINK WELL GUYS. [LAUGHTER] BASICALLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU GUYS IS ONE MONTH AGO I WAS CROWNED MISS FRISCO. I MADE A COMMITMENT ON THAT DAY, TWO ACTUALLY, FIRST, TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND ITS HEALTH. SECOND TO UPLIFT THE POLICIES AND CURRICULUM THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, PREPARING AND PUTTING TOGETHER. I'VE ALREADY BEGAN THIS JOURNEY DOING A COUPLE OF REALLY COOL THINGS. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND THE HEART LOCK FOR TERMINAL CHILDREN. WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND GRIEF PROGRAMS. I'VE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO JOIN THE FRISCO ISD SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER REAL POLICIES AND CURRICULUM TO HELP CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR YOUTH. THAT UPLIFTS THE CONCEPTS OF BUILDING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AT THE FOUNDATION, AT THEIR AGE WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST AND THEY CAN CREATE HEALTHY HABITS. THEN LASTLY, I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR. WE BRIEFLY GOT TO MEET MAYOR CHENEY. WHAT I LEARNED THERE THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT IS THAT THE CITY OF FRISCO IS A CITY THAT SAYS YES. THAT BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT, HEART OF GOLD, THAT IS MY SOCIAL IMPACT BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF FOUR ESSENTIAL PILLARS. PHYSICAL HEALTH, NUTRITION, SELF-CARE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, SELF-LOVE. YES, I SAY THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE A HEALTHY HEART IF YOU DO NOT LOVE AND RESPECT YOUR BODY TO THE UPMOST POTENTIAL. THAT BRINGS ME INTO THE LAST PAGE OF MY PACKET. IF YOU'LL FLIP THERE AND I HAVE MY THREE POINTS, AND THAT'S THE THREE POINTS OF MY BUSINESS PLAN ARE SUPPOSED TO GO. THIS IS WHERE I'LL APPROACH AWARENESS, FUNDRAISING, AND PROGRAMMING. SPECIFICALLY WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT TODAY IS HEART OF GOLD DAY. THIS IS MY REQUEST TO YOU, THE CITY COUNCIL, TO CREATE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND I, MISS FRISCO 2022, WHERE WE CAN RALLY AROUND THIS CONCEPT OF HEART OF GOLD THAT CAN BRING OUR YOUTH TOGETHER, OUR OLD. WE CAN CREATE AN IMPACT, CREATE FUNDRAISING, AND REALLY CREATE BUZZING CONVERSATIONS. I ASKS [NOISE] THE CITY THAT SAYS YES, ARE YOU GUYS READY TO APPROACH AND ACHIEVE A TRUE HEART OF GOLD? I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND I DID WANT TO LEAVE IF I HAVE A MINUTE OR TWO LEFT, SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT ABNORMAL. SEE IF YOU GUYS HAD ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? >> NO, TAYLOR WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND CITIZEN INPUT IS HERE REALLY MORE FOR US TO RECEIVE INFORMATION. I'M SURE ALL COUNCIL WOULD LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR INITIATIVES AND THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR AND DIVING RIGHT IN FRISCO.

I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THIS AMAZING EVENT AND HAVING MORE PARTICIPATION. I'LL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR, MAYOR. >> ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. WELL, I THINK [APPLAUSE] [00:20:05] THE ONLY THING TERRY HASN'T WON IS GETTING A CROWN ON HER HEAD [LAUGHTER] CITIZEN OF THE YEAR, VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR, AND I HATE TO SAY A TWO-TIME CHAMPION, BACK TO BACK OF THE 5-STAR CHALLENGE, ALTHOUGH THE CHAINING GROUP IS ON THE PLAQUE. WE'LL ALL LOOK FORWARD TO [BACKGROUND] COMING BACK AND TRYING TO WIN IT BACK FROM YOU. >> TAKE CARE. >> I WILL REITERATE THE COMMENTS. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS, NOT JUST THE CHAMBER DOES WELL, ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS OF THE ENTIRE YEAR, WHICH IS SUCH A GREAT WAY FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, COME TOGETHER AND HAVE GOOD SPIRITED COMPETITION. SOME OF US MAY BE MORE COMPETITIVE THAN OTHERS. BUT IT WAS A GREAT JOB, SO WELL DONE TO THE CHAMBER. I KNOW BILL RELIGIOUS CALLED YOU HERE SO HE COULD GLOW THAT HIS [LAUGHTER] TEAM WON.

IT'S A GREAT COMMUNITY EVENT, IT BRINGS A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE TOGETHER, EVEN IF, LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, IS AN ADULT FIELD DAY WITH A LOT OF HIGHLY AND OVERLY COMPETITIVE INDIVIDUALS [LAUGHTER]. >> I HEARD YOU MENTIONED THAT TERRY MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE INTENSE? >> YEAH.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. THERE'S PROBABLY VIDEOS OUT THERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF ALL THE TEAMS WITH THE LIP-SYNC CONTEST. BOTTOM LINE IT'S JUST A GREAT EVENT. >> WE'LL GET TO HEAR HOW THE POLICE AND FIRE FAIRED DURING THE REPORT SECTION TO SEE YOU? [LAUGHTER]. >> YEAH. WE DIDN'T THINK WE'D LET YOU GUYS OFF THE HOOK, DID YOU? [LAUGHTER] THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REPORTS SECTION. [5.

THEN I ALSO INCLUDED OUR OCTOBER FINANCIALS, WHICH THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR IS ALWAYS PRETTY LOT ON TRANSACTIONS BECAUSE WE ACCRUE MOST EVERYTHING THAT WE PAY IN OCTOBER. SALES TAX CONTINUES TO IMPRESS US, I GUESS THIS IS THE RIGHT WORD. WE ENDED THE YEAR AT A 21 PERCENT INCREASE OVER FY 20, WHICH WAS THE COVID YEAR, BUT STILL VERY POSITIVE. THEN WE LEFT FOR YOU TONIGHT OUR BUDGET DOCUMENTS. YOU'VE GOT THE BIG BOOK, YOU'VE GOT THE BUDGET-IN-BRIEF, WHICH IS THE BEST BOOK TO READ.

WITH THAT, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> ASSUMES WE DON'T HAVE. >> RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE SOME COMMENTS UNDER COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS. >> THANK YOU. [6.

NUMBER 1, A SMALL UPTAKE ON THE NUMBER OF WATSON, THE INVENTORY FROM 5-7 MONTHS, BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY GO UP BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR AS OTHER MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS COME ON, SUCH AS THE BREADTH AND RANCH IN THE FIELDS DEVELOPMENT. SECOND, WE'RE DOING CROSS-TRAINING WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, PHILIP CLIMER OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL IS LEADING THAT. [00:25:01] THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE FOR A WHILE.

WE DID THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TEXAS WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS. WE PROBABLY HAD OVER 100 ACTIVE PEOPLE THAT WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH, CONDUCTED MANY ON-SITE INTERVIEWS. WE EXTENDED 11 CONDITIONAL JOB OFFERS AND WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE ABOUT 17 OR 15 SOLID LEADS FOR ADDITIONAL FOLLOW-UP AND JOB PROSPECTS. THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR US, THOUGH IT SEEMED TO BE CHALLENGED. WE WERE TRYING TO FILL ABOUT 62 POSITIONS AND SO WE GOT 11FILLED. IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL DAY AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT. I'VE GOT INFORMATION ON OUR TURNOVER. ALSO WANTED TO INCLUDE INFORMATION ON OUR HOPEFULLY MAYBE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE LINKS I PUT IN THERE WITH OUR BENEFIT SHOWCASE ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUT TO EMPLOYEES BOTH THE VIDEO ON WORKERS COMP AND THEN THE CHANGES TO OUR BENEFITS.

THAT'S CONTINUES TO BE VERY GOOD MANAGEMENT ON THE CITY'S PART. THE WORKERS COMPENSATION INITIATIVES, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CONTINUE COMMUNICATION AND ENHANCEMENT. I INCLUDED A FLYER THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED WITH MY QUARTERLY REPORT THIS TIME AS ONE OF THE ITEMS IN ADDITION TO THE VIDEO, IN ADDITION TO OTHER INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO TRY TO WORK ON THE IMPLEMENT TO MAKE THE WORKERS COMPENSATION PROCESS SMOOTHER. EMPLOYEES KNOW HOW THE PROCESS WORKS. WE DO HAVE A DEDICATED INDIVIDUAL AND I'VE GOTTEN SOME VERY GOOD FEEDBACK FROM EMPLOYEES THAT HAS HELPED CARE SITUATIONS GO MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY. THAT'S BEEN VERY POSITIVE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> IT'S GOOD TO HEAR ABOUT THE SUCCESSFUL JOB FAIR. I WAS READING THE REPORT THAT FRISCO ISN'T IMMUNE TO THE CHALLENGES OF [INAUDIBLE] LABOR SUPPLY. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE THAT YOU GAVE US OF OUR 143 POSITIONS IN OUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT WE HAD TO TAKE NEARLY A14 PERCENT RATE INCREASE JUST TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE AND ADD ADDITIONAL, I GUESS, BONUSES FOR CERTIFICATIONS AND SO FORTH. >> YEAH. >> IT'S A TIGHT SUPPLY AND SOME THINGS CERTAINLY WE'RE KEEP AN EYE OUT FROM A BUDGET PERSPECTIVE. >> SOMETHING THAT I PASS ON THAT WE ALSO HAD REINFORCED AT THE JOB FAIR IS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO WORK FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. THAT IS VERY GOOD FOR US AS AN EMPLOYER. THANK YOU. >> MOVE US TO ITEM 8, WHICH IS OUR FRISCO OCTOBER 2021 REPORT. [8.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON MY REPORT. >> JUST A FEW NOTES THAT I WANTED TO SHARE FROM THAT MEETING, THE WORK SESSION WE DID WE SET THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WHICH CAME OUT OF IT, A NEW VISION STATEMENT FOR VISIT FRESCO AND WENT FROM THE OLD ARCHAIC WHERE IT WAS LIKE THREE [00:30:01] PARAGRAPHS LONG [LAUGHTER] AND TRY TO GET EVERYTHING IN THERE LIKE MOST DO I THINK AND JUST AS SIMPLE BUT MORE EFFECTIVE STATEMENT THAT FRESCO IS THE CITY THAT EVERYONE COMES TO PLAY AND INSPIRES YOU TO STAY. LOVE THAT AND DIRECTIONS SHOULD GO WITH THAT. BUT I ALSO WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU UNCOVERED FROM A TOURISM PERSPECTIVE AND REALLY A RESIDENT PERSPECTIVE AS WELL. WHICH I THINK WE AS A COUNCIL TALK ABOUT A LOT, BUT IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE IT COME IN YOUR NOTES, WHICH WAS A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AND HIGH-QUALITY PERFORMING ARTS WAS HIGH ON THE LIST. LIVE MUSIC WAS REALLY HIGH ON THE LIST, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT AND THEN, OF COURSE, WALKABILITY AND BIKING SO ALL THOSE THINGS THAT YOUR COUNCIL TALKING ABOUT PRETTY OFTEN, BUT IT'S NOW GOING TO BE PART OF YOUR AGENDA AS WELL AS TRYING TO SOLVE SOME OF THOSE GAPS FOR US. >> THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? >> NO, SIR [BACKGROUND] >> VERY INFORMATIVE. >> THANK YOU. >> VERY WELL DONE [OVERLAPPING]. >> THANKS.

NEXT YEAR WE'LL HAVE OUR TOURISM ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY [LAUGHTER]. WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT OUR VISITATION IS NOW COMPARED TO 2018. >> MARLA. >> THANKS. >> THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 9, [9. Fire Department monthly report on incident responses and educational activities for the month of October 2021.] WHICH IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL JUST A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS. FIRST OF ALL, JUST LIKE CONGRATULATE ASSISTANT CHIEF LEE GLOVER ON 30 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY. CELEBRATED THIS YEAR, LEE WAS THE SEVENTH FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC HIRED HERE IN FRESCO, DATED BA K 30 YEARS AGO. AS THE SLIDE SAYS, HE'S FILLED EVERY POSITION IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND IS JUST REALLY AN ANCHOR ON OUR TEAM THERE IN FRESCO SO REALLY CONGRATULATE LEE ON HIS SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO THE CITY. GET A LOT OF CALLS OFTEN ON NIGHT BURNS AND WE DO TRAINING AT NIGHT. WE UTILIZE A TRAINING CENTER. I THINK THAT'S THE BEAUTY PART ABOUT HAVING A PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER IS THAT WE CAN USE IT DAY OR NIGHT AND THAT FACILITY REALLY HAS SERVED US WELL, YOU CAN SEE WE DO ANNUAL BURNS AT NIGHTTIME, FIREFIGHTERS GO OUT THERE. WE SPEND MULTIPLE HOURS OUT THERE IN THE EVENING TRAINING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FIRES COME AT NIGHT TOO SO WE GET TO OWN NEW SKILLS IN TERMS OF LEADING LINES, LADDERING, FIGHTING FIRE WHATNOT IN THE EVENING SO THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD TRAINING OPPORTUNITY THUS PROVIDED BY THE TRAINING CENTER. WE HAD PUSHED INTO OUR SPEC OPS 1, THAT'S OUR BRAND NEW LIGHT AIR TRUNK ALSO WAS A SPECIAL OPERATIONS TRUCK. IT'S THE THEME OF THE DALLAS STARS, WHICH GOES ALONG WITH SPORTS CITY, USA. THE PUSHING CEREMONY, WHICH IS A TIME-HONORED TRADITION WHERE YOU PUSH IN NEW APPARATUS INTO THE FIRE STATION. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE WAS SOME STAR PERSONNEL. WE HAD THE MASCOT WHICH WAS VICTORY GREEN. COUNCIL MEMBER PALIN WAS THERE AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS TO CELEBRATE THAT PUSH-IN. THE STARS RAN THIS PUSH-IN ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY HAVE 486,000 MEMBERS ON THEIR FACEBOOK AND ONE MILLION TWITTER FOLLOWERS. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, THE NHL RAN IT ON NHL.COM. THEY HAVE 6.3 MILLION TWITTER FOLLOWERS AND THAT RAN ON THE NHL.COM WITH A PUSH AND CEREMONY IN FRESCO, TEXAS HERE FOR THE NEW TRUCK SO WE'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT AND US BEING ABLE TO GET THAT NEW APPARATUS IN SERVICE. HALGLOWEEN AS WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MORE PRESENTED BY TEXAS HEALTH HOSPITAL FRESCO IN FRESCO FIRE SAFETY TOWN SO YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS THERE, 445 CARS, 846 ADULTS, 876 KIDS, AND 19 DOGS. NO STONE LEFT UNTURNED IN DATA COLLECTION. WAS A GREAT NIGHT. LOTS OF CANDY GIVEN OUT, A LOT OF FUN FOR HALLOWEEN THERE FOR HALGLOWEEN SO REALLY APPRECIATE THE SPONSORSHIP TOO BY TEXAS SELF HOSPITAL FRESCO IS OUR TITLE SPONSOR ON THAT. THIS IS ON OUR WEBSITE. HARD TO READ HERE, BUT THIS GOING IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON FOLLOWING HALLOWEEN, WE HAVE THANKSGIVING. WON'T BE RIGHT WITHOUT ME MENTIONING TO THE MAYOR ABOUT FRIED TURKEYS AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS [LAUGHTER] DURING HALLOWEEN, TALKING ABOUT THAT EVERY YEAR, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IN A BIG POT OF OIL. DON'T OVERFILL THAT POT. WE DO GET CALLS OFTENTIMES WHEN PEOPLE WILL OVERFILL THAT, THE TURKEY GOES IN AND DISPLACES THE OIL, IT SPILLS OUT AND WE HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT FIRE. BE CAREFUL ON THAT. UNATTENDED COOKING IS WHAT LEADS TO THE MAJORITY OF STRUCTURAL FIRES DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. IF YOU ARE COOKING SOMETHING ON THE STOVE PLEASE MONITOR THAT, KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. DON'T LEAVE THINGS COOKING ON THE STOVE UNATTENDED BECAUSE THAT'S THE LEADING CAUSE OF KITCHEN FIRES ON THE HOLIDAY SEASON. [00:35:01] A LOT OF SAFETY TIPS. LOOK ON OUR WEBSITE, YOU'LL SEE ALL THESE COOKING TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS. YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BE CAREFUL WITH THE KNIVES TOO. WE ALSO RUN EMS CALLS WHERE PEOPLE GET SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CUTS AND WHATNOTS IN THE KITCHEN. JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. IF WE MOVE INTO THE HOLIDAYS AND A LOT OF CHRISTMAS, A LOT OF OTHER WINTER HOLIDAYS. WE WANT TO WATCH YOUR LIGHTS, INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIGHTS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE USING THE RIGHT LIGHTS. SOME LIGHTS WERE NOT MADE FOR OUTDOORS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OUTDOOR LIGHTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CERTIFIED FOR THAT. MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT FRAYED. A LOT OF TIMES YOU TAKE THEM DOWN IN THE YEAR, YOU PUT THEM IN A BIG TUPPERWARE BOX, SOMETHING CONTAINER YOU NORMALLY LOOK THEM TO BRING THEM OUT NEXT YEAR. THEY SHOULD BE REALLY CHECKED TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE FRAYED LINES, MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. ALSO WATCH THOSE CANDLES, A LOT OF FIRES BY CANDLES IN THE HOME. BE CAREFUL WITH PETS TOO OFTENTIMES WILL RUN ON FIRES. WHERE A CANDLE IS SAFELY PLACED IN A CANISTER, BUT A PET HAS GONE AND KNOCKED IT OVER AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSED THE FIRE. BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THOSE OPEN FIRES IN THE HOME. THOSE HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS ARE ON OUR WEBSITE, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE. WE WANT TO HAVE A SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON AND [NOISE] A HAPPY ONE AS WELL. SPEAKING OF CHRISTMAS AND WINTER HOLIDAYS, AGAIN, OUR TOY DRIVE. YOU CAN SEE THE 15TH TO THE SIXTH OF DECEMBER, SANTA'S HELPERS WILL BE THERE ON DECEMBER SECOND, ALONG WITH PETE DELKUS. PETE WILL BE THERE AT THE CENTRAL FIRE STATION FROM FIVE TO EIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S BENEFITING FRESCO FAMILY SERVICES AND THE ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT. A LOT OF LOCATIONS THAT YOU CAN DROP OFF YOUR TOYS, UNWRAPPED TOYS, THERE IS. IT'S A GREAT EVENT. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE BEFORE, PLEASE COME OUT. YOU SEE THE LOCATIONS, ANY STATION FOR SKY ATHLETIC CENTER, PUBLIC LIBRARY, MARGARET STREET POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE GROVE, TAYLOR FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC, AND FRESCO WINES. THEY ARE ALL LOCATIONS YOU CAN DROP OFF UNWRAPPED TOYS. REALLY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU THERE AND MEET PETE AND ALL THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT ARE THERE AT THE FIRE STATION. NOW, IN TERMS OF THE CORPORATE CHALLENGE [LAUGHTER], THERE WERE, FIRST OF ALL, FIRE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T WIN THE TROPHY. BUT WE DID GET A MEDAL AS WE WERE THE OVERALL RELAY WINNER, WHICH WE BEAT EVERY TEAM THAT WAS ONSITE THERE IN THE RELAY. WE DID TAKE THAT PRIZE WITH US. WE ALSO BEAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE TUG OF WAR. THIS REALLY WAS TURNING OUT TO BE THE BATTLE OF THE BADGES. THAT REALLY WAS NO BATTLE [LAUGHTER]. FEED HIM IN THE RELAY, THE TUG OF WAR, DODGE BALL, AND BASKETBALL. NOT SURE THERE WERE ANY EVENTS LEFT THAT WE DIDN'T WIN OVER THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT IT WAS A GOOD DAY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEIR NEW CHIEF [INAUDIBLE] HAS ONE EVENT THAT THEY DIDN'T WIN THAT I'LL LET HIM DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU. HE'S VERY PROUD OF THAT EVENT, SO WE'LL LET HIM DO THAT. BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME. OUR TEAM DID REALLY WELL. IT'S A GREAT EVENT AND REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATED. IT IS CONCERNING THAT WE BEAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TAG OF WAR BUT LOSE TO THE MAYOR'S TEAM [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] I LACK WORDS [OVERLAPPING]. >> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT UP BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO - [OVERLAPPING]. .>> THAT WAS COMING ON, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER [OVERLAPPING] >> BUT HOW WE DO THAT? I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE WILL HAVE TO RE-EVALUATE THAT. [OVERLAPPING] >> I STILL HAVE A BRUISE ON THE SIDE OF MY BODY TO PAY FOR IT.[LAUGHTER] WORTH IT. >> THANK YOU. >> I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE REPORT. THANK YOU. >> I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN THE MAYOR HAPPIER. [LAUGHTER] WHEN THEY WANT THAT TYPE OF WORK ON. >> [OVERLAPPING] IT'S UNEXPLAINABLE, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT. [OVERLAPPING] >> I STILL CAN'T EXPLAIN IT EITHER.[LAUGHTER] >> I WILL SAY THAT RELAY RACE WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I'VE EVER DONE. I LITERALLY WAS GLAD, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS THERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO NEED A MEDIC. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE JUST HOW IN SHAPE OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT IS. [OVERLAPPING] I WILL SAY IF YOU'VE EVER OFFERED TO PLAY DODGE BALL AGAINST THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, RUN THE OTHER WAY BECAUSE THE BALL HAD FINALLY HIT ME; I DON'T THINK I EVER SAW IT. IT WAS LIKE A GUNSHOT. THEY WOULD HAVE DESTROYED EVERYONE, BUT THEY TOOK NO MERCY ON THE MAYOR WHICH IS WHAT I EXPECT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. [LAUGHTER] >> COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >>THE [INAUDIBLE] WAS FANTASTIC AND FIRES INVOLVEMENT, TALKING ABOUT RUNNING BACK AND FORTH. WE WERE RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO GET CANDY AND TRYING TO KEEP THE PARADE TO MOVE ALONG AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DID ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND I KNOW EVERYBODY THERE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. >> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. >> I ALSO ENJOY THE PUSH IN CEREMONY COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND TO YOUR POINT, IT WAS JUST AMAZING TO SEE THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR BRANDED DOWN STARS TRUCK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT TOOK TWO YEARS FOR THAT TRUCK [00:40:01] TO ACTUALLY BE DELIVERED TO US SO HATS OFF TO YOU AND THE TEAM FOR THAT. WAS JUST A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK. >> THANK YOU. AS FOR THE CITY USA THEME AND WE CONTINUE ON WITH THAT. THERE IS A FEW MORE IN STORE I THINK, IT'S A LOT OF FUN AND IT'S A GREAT PROJECT TOO. THANK YOU. >> IT'S IN THE REPORT THAT YOU RECOMMEND TWO UPCOMING FIRE STATIONS. I KNOW WE'LL HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT AND DID NOTICE THAT YOUR CALLS WERE UP 21 PERCENT THIS MONTH. SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT'S A TREND WE'RE SEEING JUST WITH THE GROWTH HERE IN FRISCO? >> YES, SIR. THAT HAS BEEN WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THIS PAST YEAR. >> AFTER WITNESSING THE FIRE BEHIND MY HOUSE, IN ALL OF YOUR LEADERSHIP OUT THERE SAYING, SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES OVER AND OVER TO ME, THAT MOTIVATED ME AND I'LL JUST MENTION TO EVERYBODY TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES AND IF THE UNIT SHOT, THEY'RE PRETTY CHEAP. YOU CAN BUY THEM QUICK AND REPLACE THEM. THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER REALLY PAID ATTENTION TO THAT BUT YOU GUYS SAID IT ENOUGH TO ME OVER ABOUT A 45 MINUTE PERIOD THAT I TOOK IT TO HEART. >> [INAUDIBLE] TYPE TO STATISTICS TO WHAT THEY REPORT; THERE ARE SO MANY FIRES THAT THEY ALERT PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT REPORTED BECAUSE THEY SEE THE FIRE, THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT, WE NEVER GET CALLED. THERE ARE MANY FIRES AND THEY DO ALERT PEOPLE AHEAD OF TIME THAT WE CAN'T GATHER ANY STATISTICS ON. THANKS FOR DOING THAT. YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM IN YOUR HOME FOR SURE. THEY'RE DEFINITELY LIFESAVERS. THANK YOU. >> FOR THE REBUTTAL OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ITEM 10.[LAUGHTER] [10. Police Department's crime statistics and response times for the month of October 2021.] >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCILS. I'LL START WITH JUST REITERATING WHAT CHIEF PILON SAID ABOUT THE TOY DRIVE KICKED OFF YESTERDAY. I KNOW FRISCO, I ALWAYS SAY IT'S ONE OF THE MOST CHARITABLE PLACES ON THE PLANET AND THE CITY, THE COMMUNITY COMES THROUGH. THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE THAT WE'VE SEEN. IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN CERTAINLY SCAN THAT QR CODE. IT'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION BUT BENEFITS: FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES; LOCAL CHARITY HERE AND THE ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY. A LOT OF DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AS CHIEF PILON MENTIONED, I WON'T GO THROUGH THEM ALL BUT GREAT EVENT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WORK WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON FOR A GREAT CAUSE. THIS WEEK WE ALSO CELEBRATED THE GRADUATES OF CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY 49. THERE'S A GREAT PROGRAM THAT WE OFFER EVERY SPRING AND FALL. A 10 -WEEK PROGRAM THAT REALLY ALLOWS RESIDENTS HERE TO LEARN A LOT MORE ABOUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I THINK IT OPENS A LOT OF EYES, GIVES A LOT BETTER UNDERSTANDING TO THE CHALLENGES OF THE JOB THAT WE DO AND HIGHLIGHTS THE GREAT STAFF THAT WE HAVE HERE. WE WERE HAPPY TO SEE THEM GRADUATE AND BIG THANKS TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT FOR ALLOWING US TO USE THE GROVE TO SPREAD EVERYBODY OUT JUST TO KEEP WITH THE COVID PRECAUTIONS. IT WAS A GREAT GROUP AND EXCITING TO SEE THEM GRADUATE. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OFF OF OUR MONTHLY REPORT. I GUESS BEFORE I'LL GIVE MY REBUTTAL TO THE FIVE-STAR CHALLENGE. WE ACTUALLY WON THREE AGAIN, EVENTS AGAINST THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WE WON THE FOOTBALL EVENT WHICH WE KNOW FOOTBALL IS KING IN TEXAS SO THAT REALLY IS WHAT MATTERS. WE WON THE SPIKE-BALL CHALLENGE WHICH I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SPIKE BALL WAS UNTIL THE OTHER DAY. WE QUICKLY LEARNED AND WE WERE ABLE TO BEAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUT THE ONE WE'RE GOING TO HANG OUR HAT ON, THAT WE BEAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON, WAS THE COGNITIVE CHALLENGE AND I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT WHERE IT IS.[LAUGHTER] SO YOU-ALL CAN JUST TAKE THAT AND DO WHATEVER WITH IT BUT IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. CONGRATULATIONS BILL, ON YOU-ALL'S TEAM WINNING. ENJOY THE TROPHY THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE WILL TAKE IT FROM YOU NEXT YEAR. [OVERLAPPING] >> GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. >> WE'LL DO OUR BEST, BUT NO, IT'S A LOT OF FUN. WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD LAUGHS OUT OF IT. I THINK THE SORENESS IS JUST WEARING OFF. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE PLAYED DODGE-BALL. I WILL CONCUR WITH WHAT THE MAYOR SAID. WE WATCHED A COUPLE OF THE OTHER TEAMS PLAY DODGE BALL AGAINST EACH OTHER AND I MADE THE REMARK TO SOMEBODY. THAT'S NOT WHAT OUR MATCH AGAINST THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LOOKED LIKE. IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPETITIVE, SO GOOD TIME, AND WE ENJOYED IT. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. I NOTICED THAT YEAR OVER YEAR WE CONTINUE TO SEE MORE AND MORE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ON THE ROAD. ARE YOU GUYS SEEING ANY TRENDS, ANYTHING THAT THE RESIDENTS SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF, EITHER ALCOHOL-RELATED, CELL PHONE RELATED. ANYTHING, ANY INSIGHT THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT ARE TRENDS WITH THESE ACCIDENTS? [00:45:01] >> YES. OUR MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES ARE TRENDING UP THIS YEAR COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT A THREE-YEAR SNAPSHOT BECAUSE 2020 HAD A LOT FEWER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF ALL THE COVID LOCK-DOWNS BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOWN FROM 2019 CRASH NUMBER SO THAT'S ENCOURAGING. AS FAR AS TRENDS, TWO LEADING CAUSES OF CRASHES ARE TYPICALLY SPEED AND DISTRACTIONS. I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE MOTORISTS, BE MINDFUL OF YOUR SPEED. THAT INCLUDES SPEED FOR THE CONDITIONS. IF IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE, OBVIOUSLY, THE SPEED LIMIT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE, YOU MAY NEED TO GO A LITTLE BIT SLOWER AND THEN THE DISTRACTIONS ARE EVER-PRESENT AS WE HAVE CELL PHONES; THERE'S JUST ENDLESS THINGS TO BE DISTRACTED WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. JUST BE MINDFUL OF THOSE TWO THINGS AND THAT'S WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE AS THE LEADING CAUSES OF CRASHES. OUR DWI NUMBERS ARE ALSO UP. INTOXICATED DRIVERS ARE SOMETHING TO BE MINDFUL OF AND DESIGNATED DRIVER, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND THERE'S KINDS OF RIDESHARE OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE THAT. >> THANK YOU. >> I'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 11, [11. Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.] WHICH IS OUR COUNCIL'S SUB COMMITTEE REPORTS. I KNOW WE HAD A BUDGET NOT A COMMITTEE MEETING. >> YES, WE HAD A BUDGET ON A COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY. A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE END OF LAST YEAR. WE HAD ANTICIPATED REVENUE OF ABOUT A $187 MILLION. THE ACTUAL REVENUE WAS ABOUT 192 MILLION. BIG DIFFERENCE THERE WAS THE AMOUNT OF SALES TAX THAT WE HAD COME IN AND PART OF THAT IS DUE TO INFLATION. OBVIOUSLY, IF THINGS COST MORE, WE BRING IN MORE SALES TAX. IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS CAME IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE PERCENT BELOW THEIR BUDGETED EXPENSES. I THINK THAT GOES TO SHOW HOW WELL OUR STAFF NOT ONLY HELPS PLAN THE BUDGET UPFRONT WITH BEING CONSERVATIVE ON THE REVENUE SIDE, BUT THEN HOW THEY MANAGE IT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND ALMOST ALWAYS COME IN A LITTLE BIT UNDER WHAT WE PLAN FOR THEM TO DO. KUDOS TO THE STAFF BECAUSE CONTROLLING THE EXPENSES IS REALLY ON ALL OF THOSE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND EVERYBODY IN THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS. ALL IN ALL, IT LEAVES US WITH SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER INTO OUR CAPITAL RESERVE FUNDS. STAFF WILL BE BRINGING US THAT AT THE MID-YEAR BUDGET UPDATE. I WROTE THIS NUMBER DOWN, BUT WHERE DID I WRITE IT DOWN? IS ANITA STILL HERE? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> EIGHTEEN. IT'LL TAKE US UP TO ABOUT $18 MILLION IN OUR CAPITAL RESERVE FUND, WHICH IS ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF OUR ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES. PUTS US IN A SOLID POSITION THERE SHOULD THERE BE ANY EMERGENCIES OR ANYTHING THAT WE MAY NEED TO TAP THAT FOR. >> THANK YOU BILL. ANY OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT UPDATES? >> JUST FROM THE FRISCO VETERANS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, I'D SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY, THE CITY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND EVERYONE THAT HOSTED A VETERANS DAY EVENT AND THANK OUR VETERANS FOR THEIR SERVICE. IT WAS A GREAT DAY. I WAS DEEPLY TOUCHED THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THE AMERICAN LEGION HAD A GREAT EVENT, HAD FIRST YEAR COMMONS PARK WITH VETERANS MEMORIAL IS AT 11:00 A.M ON NOVEMBER 11TH, WHICH TRADITIONALLY IS THE TIME THAT THE ARMISTICE WAS SIGNED IN WORLD WAR 1. I ALSO ATTEND A GREAT LUNCHEON TODAY. RECOGNIZING VETERANS AND WAS REMINDED OF READS ACROSS AMERICA. YOU'VE HEARD POLICE AND FIRE TALK ABOUT TOYS FOR TALKS. THESE READS ARE FOR FALLEN SOLDIERS. THEY DECORATE IN OUR AREA, THE DFW NATIONAL CEMETERY. YOU CAN GO TO WWW.DFWREADS.COM IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A DONATION OR LEARN MORE. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THAT. THANK YOU MATT. >> IN LAST WEEK, THE MARINE CORPS OF COLLIN COUNTY HAD THE MARINE CORPS BALL ON THE 13TH. FRISCO RESIDENTS SHOCK RIGHT LEAD THAT. IF YOU'RE A VETERAN HERE AND FRISCO JACK REID, DID A FANTASTIC JOB AND IT WAS A BIG SUCCESS. I JUST WANT TO SAY SIMPLIFY TO ALL MY FELLOW MARINES OUT THERE. >> I'LL MOVE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

THIS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT IS JUST STATING WHAT WAS IN THERE PREVIOUSLY. RESTAURANTS AND AN OFFICE TOO ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A DRIVE-THROUGH. THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE IS PUTTING THAT BACK IN.

AS YOU REMEMBER FROM LAST WEEK AND THEN IN OUR EARLIER MEETING RELATED TO THE TIRZ ONE BOARD, WE ARE ADVANCING THE BALL TO BE ABLE TO AMEND THE TEXT INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE. BEFORE I START, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ANITA, CATHERINE, AND GINNY HUNT FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE AND HELP IN THIS PROCESS. THEY'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE CALENDAR OF ITEMS HERE, THAT THE ITEMS THAT ARE REQUIRED, THE LAST ITEM IS THIS ACTION THAT YOU'LL BE TAKING THIS EVENING, HOLDING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS AND THE PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN AMENDMENTS AS WELL. THE BOUNDARY AMENDMENT THAT IS BEING RECOMMENDED IS TO ADD 585.28 ACRES. THIS ENCOMPASSES THE THREE GOLF COURSES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE PGA AND THE OMNI RESORT. THIS PARTICULAR OUTLINE THAT YOU SEE HERE ENCOMPASSES ALL THREE OF THE GOLF COURSES, THE 218 WHOLE, AS WELL AS THE 10 WHOLE EXECUTIVE COURSE. THE PROPOSED PROJECTS UNDER THIS ARE TO CONSTRUCT THOSE THREE GOLF COURSES. THE ADDITIONAL ITEM IS FOR THE CITY OWNED CONFERENCE CENTER AT THE MALL. THEN THE LAST ITEM IS THE PARKING STRUCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MALL AND SOME OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THERE. THE PROPOSED FINANCING INCLUDES 35 MILLION TOTAL, WITH 19.1 MILLION BEING PAID OUT OF TIRZ NUMBER 1, ALSO THE CONFERENCE CENTER, IT'S A $16.5 MILLION TOTAL, 6.3 MILLION OF THAT BEING PAID FROM TIRZ NUMBER 1, AND THEN THE PARKING STRUCTURE THAT WAS REFERENCED EARLIER, 18 MILLION, ALL OF THAT BEING FUNDED THROUGH TIRZ NUMBER 1. BEING SAID ALL THAT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU, RON, WILL THOSE THAT MAYBE DIDN'T SEE PRIOR MEETINGS, WE DISCUSS THESE ITEMS AT NUMEROUS MEETINGS AND THESE ARE VERY COMPLICATED DEALS AND THIS IS THE FINAL LEG AND THEY ADMINISTER ADMINISTRATIVE PART OF THIS PROCESS. YOU MAY SEE COUNCIL GO THROUGH THESE NEXT AGENDA ITEMS, BUT THEY'VE BEEN DISCUSSED AT LENGTH FOR CASH MULTIPLE YEARS, I GUESS AT THIS POINT, BUT CERTAINLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS TO THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, I'LL GIVE ONE REPORT FOR THREE ITEMS, THE PUBLIC HEARING AGAIN TO BE HELD THIS EVENING AND THEN CONSIDER AN ACT UPON THE PRELIMINARY PROJECT PLAN, THE FINANCING PLAN FOR REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER 7 AND THEN ALSO ACTING ON THE ORDINANCE TO ACTUALLY CREATE TOURS NUMBER 7. REMEMBER YOU WILL ALSO HAVE ONE MORE ACTION ITEM AT YOUR NEXT MEETING RELATED TO THIS AFTER THIS EVENING'S ACTIONS. THIS DOES NOT FINALIZE IT WHILE YOU FINALIZE TAX NUMBER 1 ACTIONS, YOU HAVE ONE MORE HERE, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE. YOU HAVE THE MEETING ON TONIGHT AND THEN THESE ON THE SEVENTH YOU'LL HAVE ONE MORE ZONE BOARD MEETING THAT WILL BE TIRZ BOARD NUMBER 7, AND THEN ALSO THE COUNCIL MEETING TO DO THE FINAL APPROVAL OF THE TWO PROJECT AND FINANCING PLANS. THIS PARTICULAR MAP SHOWS YOU THE BOUNDARY, IT'S A 889 ACRES FOR THE BOUNDARY, JUST TO PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS FOR THE FIELDS DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF THAT MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. [NOISE] I DO WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU THAT YOU'LL NOTICE THERE ARE SOME HOLES IN THIS DESCRIPTION, YOU'LL NOTICE THOSE HOLES ARE CARVE-OUTS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THIS IS PRIMARILY GOING TO BE IN THAT MIXED USE COMMERCIAL AREA THAT THIS WILL ACTUALLY ENCOMPASS. YOU'LL ALSO NOTE THAT THE ROADWAY THROUGH THERE, THE TOLL WAY IS CARVED OUT AS WELL, THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T ENCOMPASS ALL THE ACREAGE OF THE FIELDS PROPERTIES. ON THIS PARTICULAR AGREEMENT THAT WE ENTERED INTO, AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO WITH THESE TIRZ FUNDS IS FOR PUBLIC ROADWAYS, PUBLIC UTILITIES, AND OTHER PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY TO SERVE THE PROPERTY ITSELF THAT IS WITHIN THE TIRZ. ALSO TO DO ENHANCE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PUBLIC STREETS, FOR EXAMPLE, ENHANCED LANDSCAPING, PAVING, ETC. ALSO HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS AND OTHER PUBLIC WAYS, REGIONAL DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE, WE MIGHT ALSO RECALL THAT IN THEIR PLANS THEY SHOWED A CHAIN OF LAKES THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE REGIONAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM. FINALLY, ALSO DEBT SERVICE FOR THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE LISTED, ALSO INTEREST ON THE COST OF THOSE PROJECTS, AND YOU SEE THAT THOSE PROJECTS ARE LISTED THERE IN TERMS OF THE STREETS THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED. THE CURRENT PROJECT VALUE, THE DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED TO ACTUALLY OCCUR OVER THE NEXT 20-30 YEARS. THE BASE VALUE OR THE CAPTURED VALUE, AS WE ESTABLISH THIS TIRZ IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER $41 MILLION. WHAT WE'RE PROJECTING AS WE LOOK AT THE BUILD-OUT IS THAT WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL BE AN EXCESS OF $10.7 BILLION AT BUILDOUT, THAT'LL BE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF VALUE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE IN TIRZ NUMBER 7. THE TIRZ FINANCING PLAN INCLUDES THAT WE WOULD INCLUDE 50 PERCENT OF THE AD VALOREM TAXES WITHIN THE TIRZ BOUNDARIES, AND THIS WOULD GO TOWARDS INITIALLY A $30 MILLION BOND INDEBTEDNESS THAT WOULD BE ISSUED AS CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR EAST AND WEST PORTIONS OF FIELDS PARKWAY, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROJECT THAT WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THIS, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST PROJECT. AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE WILL HAVE TO ADD PROJECTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND PROJECTS ARE DELIVERED OVER TIME. ALSO, FUTURE DEBT WILL BE ISSUED, AS I JUST SAID, FOR THIS, AND THAT WILL ALSO INCLUDE NOT ONLY ADDITIONAL STREETS, BUT OTHER HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS, AND OTHER PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. WITH THAT SAID, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE? >> WE'VE OPENED PUBLIC HEARING. >> SECOND. >> [INAUDIBLE] ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> OPPOSED? AND MOTION PASSES 6-0, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN, IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? >> SEEN AND MOVED TO CLOSE. >> MOTION BY BILL. >> SECOND. >> SECOND BY JOHN, ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> OPPOSE?

(CSO/KM)] CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON A COMPLAINT FILED BY TONG LI ON OCTOBER 29TH, 2021 AS AUTHORIZED BY THE ETHICS ORDINANCE. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. AS YOU INDICATE, FRISCO HOMEOWNER TONG LI FILE A ATHEIST COMPLAINT, ON OCTOBER 29TH, THAT COMPLAINT WAS AGAINST A FORMER CITY EMPLOYEE AND A CURRENT CITY EMPLOYEE. PURSUANT TO THAT, ETHICS ORDINANCE TO SEE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS CONDUCTED AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THAT COMPLAINT, AND ASSUMED ALL ALLEGATIONS IN THE COMPLAINT ARE TRUE FOR THE PURPOSE OF THAT ASSESSMENT. WE DELIVERED OUR ASSESSMENT TO YOU AND EXECUTIVE SESSION EARLIER THIS EVENING, AS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE ETHICS ORDINANCE, THE RESULTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEYS INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THAT COMPLAINT IS THAT IT DOES NOT STATE A VIOLATION OF THE ETHICS ORDINANCE, AND SHOULD BE DISMISSED. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> WE HAVE A TONG LI, IF YOU WANT TO COME INTO THE PODIUM AND SPEAK, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. [NOISE] >> GOOD EVENING. MAYOR CHENEY, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS TANG LEE, AND I'VE BEEN LIVING IN THE CITY OF FRISCO FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS. BEFORE I MOVE IN TO THE PHILIPS CREEK RANCH, I WAS LIVING IN WATERSTONE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH I LOVE VERY MUCH. FIRST, I WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I'M THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER TO PURCHASE A NEW BUILT HOME, THAT'S WHY WE, MY FAMILY HAD PLACING ALL OUR FAITH IN, SORRY. THE CITY, THE GOVERNMENT TO DELIVER US INHABITABLE PLACE TO LIVE, TO ENJOY OUR LIFE. THINGS DIDN'T GO WELL AS WE HAD EXPECTED BY THE TIME WHEN ALL MY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE SICK AND OUR HOME, IS NOT CONSIDERED AS A PLACE FOR US TO LIVE IN. I CHECKED BACK TO MY DEVICE AND TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT DO MY PROPERTY LOOK LIKE BY THE TIME WHEN IT PASS THE INSPECTION. THE FINDINGS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. WE'RE VISUALIZING ALL FIBERGLASS INSTALLATIONS WERE SOAKED WET, IS JUST UNETHICAL TO PASS THE INSTALLATION INSPECTION. SAYING, WELL, VISUALIZING, WHAT DOES THINGS ON DRY WALL IN THE PROPERTY? IT IS UNETHICAL TO PASS THE DRYWALL INSPECTION. THE INSPECTORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH KNOWLEDGE OF CITY ORDINANCE, BUILDING CODE, AND INSPECTION STANDARDS. THEY'RE KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH TO FORESEE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THESE BAD PRACTICES. ALL THE EVIDENCE ARE PROVIDED TO THE CITY ARE TWO, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. [01:05:01] I WANT YOU GUYS TO GIVE US A RECONSIDERATION ON THIS CASE. I DON'T WANT THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ANOTHER FAMILY. HENCE, I WANT TO COOPERATE WITH ALL YOUR INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS CASE. WHATEVER EVIDENCE YOU NEED, I HAVE, AND THEY'RE ALL TRUE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK UP ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY. THANK YOU. >> I CAN'T SAY THAT, I KNOW ALL OF COUNSEL CERTAINLY SYMPATHETIC, WE DON'T WANT ANY HOMEOWNER OR ANY BUILDER TO DELIVER A PRODUCT THAT THE END PURCHASER ISN'T SATISFIED WITH. I WILL SAY THAT ON THIS ETHICS ORDINATES HAS COME UP BEFORE COUNCIL, BEFORE OUR CITY ATTORNEY CERTAINLY WARNED US ABOUT A DECADE AGO WHEN WE PUT IT IN PLACE, THAT IT WOULD BE USED FOR REASONS THAT WASN'T INTENDED AND I WAS [INAUDIBLE] BASE AND THERE WAS GOOD INTENTIONS OF COUNSEL AT THE TIME AND DIDN'T PROBABLY FORESEE WAYS THAT IT WOULD BE USED. THE REASON THAT THE COMPLAINT IS BEING OFFICIALLY DISMISSED TONIGHT IS BECAUSE THE ETHICS ORDINANCE ISN'T RELATED TO CITY EMPLOYEES. THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE IS WORKING ON RE-WRITING OUR ETHICS ORDINANCE FOR SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN HERE IN RECENT MONTHS, AS FAR AS IT BEING USED AS POLITICAL WEAPONS. CERTAINLY THIS ISN'T A NEW REASON AGAINST [INAUDIBLE] A REASON TO BRING A COMPLAINT THROUGH THIS ORDINATES AND WE HOPE TO HAVE [INAUDIBLE] ANYWHERE BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, WHAT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST THREE TO FOUR MONTHS IS THESE ACTIONS HAVE REALLY DELEGITIMIZED THE WHOLE ETHICS ORDINATES ALTOGETHER. I THINK IT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE TO DO SO NOW. I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THE WORK THAT THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO DO TO CONSTRUCT THE NUT AND TIGHTEN IT TO SEE THAT REALLY ONLY VALID SUBSTANTIATED COMPLAINTS REACH THIS LEVEL. NOW, WHILE THAT WAS THE REASON [NOISE] THAT IT IS BEING DISMISSED, I CAN'T SAY THAT THE CITY DID REVIEW THE COMPLIANT AND ADVISE COUNCIL THAT THEY FOUND NO WRONG DOING BY THE EMPLOYEE, AND STANDBY THE EMPLOYEES EFFORTS AND THEIR WORK PRODUCT AS WELL AS THE DEPARTMENT'S WORK PRODUCT. I WILL TELL YOU THAT BEING IN THE BUSINESS AND KNOWING THE INDUSTRY AND COUNSEL HERE IS THIS THAT'S NOT IN THE BUSINESS THAT OUR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM ARE WIDELY KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY AS BEING THE TOUGHEST IN THE COMMUNITY, AND WE AS A COUNCIL WILL ALWAYS SAY, THAT'S A GOOD THING. WHEN I GO TO THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION, I'M HEARING NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS AND I TAKE THOSE AS COMPLIMENTS, BECAUSE I WANT THAT LEVEL OF STANDARD AND THAT LEVEL OF CARE. NOW THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THEIR JOB TO FULLY INSPECT THE HOME, BUT THEY ARE THERE AS SAFE GUARDS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND LETTING BUILDERS KNOW THAT THERE WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A WATCHFUL EYE ON EVERYTHING THAT'S CERTAINLY DELIVERED AND BUILT IN THIS COMMUNITY. THAT BEING SAID, WE KNOW NOT ALL BUILDERS DELIVER ON THEIR PROMISES. AGAIN, I'M IN THE BUSINESS, I SEE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY. I WILL SAY THAT THE STANDARDS PUT IN PLACE BY COUNCIL OVER THE YEARS HAS HELPED MITIGATE OUT OF SCENARIOS, BUT WE'VE GONE THROUGH MANY CYCLES. I REMEMBER THE 2008 BUST WHERE HOUSES WERE HALF FINISHED AND BROUGHT ON BY OTHER BUILDERS, SO THERE'S DEFINITELY NO FOOLPROOF PLAN. THAT'S WHY EVEN OUR CITY STAFF RECOMMENDS TO PEOPLE TO GET THEIR OWN THIRD-PARTY INSPECTORS ON ANYTHING. WITH THAT COUNCIL, LOOK FOR OTHER COMMENTS, BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT, CERTAINLY, ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORK HERE AT THE CITY OF FRISCO. IT IS OUR JOB AS A COUNCIL, IF WE FIND HOLES IN AREAS THAT WE CORRECT THEM AND WE ROUTINELY DO THAT. IT IS OUR JOB THAT IF WE FIND AN EMPLOYEE THAT MAYBE DIDN'T [01:10:02] SERVICE IN THE MANNER THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED [INAUDIBLE] ACTIVE ACTION OR FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN DO BETTER. BUT BASED ON OUR FINDINGS, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE IN THIS SCENARIO AND THAT THIS EMPLOYEE DID THEIR JOB. [INAUDIBLE] CLEAR SO THAT WHEN COUNCIL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY TAKE A VOTE, BUT IF COUNCIL DISMISSES IT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOUR COMPLAINT WASN'T AT LEAST HEARD OR RESEARCHED BECAUSE IT WAS. BECAUSE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THEY COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY, WE WOULD WANT THEM TO DO. COUNCIL, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ON THAT, I'LL CERTAINLY TAKE IT OR OTHERWISE I'LL. RICHARD, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? >> TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT FILED BY TONY LEE ON OCTOBER 29, 2021. [NOISE] >> SECOND BY BILL, SECOND BY BRIAN. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> AYE. >> OPPOSED THAT MOTION PASSES 60. THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 32, [32. Consider and act upon award of Request for Proposal #1901-031 Onsite or Near-Site Health Clinic to Premise Health and authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement for these services. (Human Resources/DF)] CONSIDER AN ACT UPON A WARD OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NUMBER OF 1901-031 ON-SITE OR NEAR SITE HEALTH CLINIC TO PREMISE HEALTH AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR THE SERVICES. >> MAYOR COUNCIL, I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES TO GO OVER, THE RFP AND THE ON-SITE CLINIC PROCESS IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE ME A FEW MOMENTS. AS A SELF-INSURED PROVIDER, THE CITY PAYS FOR THE MEDICAL COSTS OF OUR EMPLOYEES IN OUR DEPENDENCE. ON-SITE CLINIC OFFERS ANOTHER METHOD TO PROVIDE SERVICES THAT THE CITY ALREADY PAYS FOR THROUGH THE HEALTH INSURANCE, WORKERS COMPENSATION OR BUDGETED EXPENSES. BUT THROUGH THE ON-SITE CLINIC, WE WILL HAVE A PROVIDER THAT IS COMMITTED TO CONSISTENT QUALITY CARE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND HELPING US TO CONTAIN COST. ON-SITE CLINIC ACHIEVES TWO GOALS, CONTINUES TO KEEP COSTS DOWN TO TAXPAYERS AND INCREASES SERVICES TO EMPLOYEES. THE HEALTH OF OUR EMPLOYEES IS A TOTAL PACKAGE. THEIR HEALTH AND WELLNESS AFFECTS ALL OPERATIONS AT THE CITY OF FRISCO. IT AFFECTS INSURANCE COSTS ON THE JOB INJURIES, PRODUCTIVITY, AND ABSENTEEISM. TO HELP MANAGE THIS IMPACT, THE STAFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING WE HIRE DOCTORS OR NURSES, BUT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO AWARD THE RFP FOR AN ON-SITE CLINIC TO PREMISE HEALTH, WHO CAN PROVIDE EXPERTISE, DEPTH, AND BREADTH OF EXPERIENCE TO INTEGRATE A WHOLE PERSON APPROACH TOWARDS THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT WILL HELP PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT FOR OUR CITY EMPLOYEES, DELIVER INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS TO THE CITY AND HELP THE CITY SAVE MONEY BY CONTAINING COST. PREMISE'S INTEGRATED APPROACH TO PRIMARY CARE INCLUDES BOTH DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL ACCESS POINTS, COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY CARE AND CARE COORDINATION TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES THAT CITY EMPLOYEES EXPERIENCE WITH TRADITIONAL HEALTH CARE. UNLIKE A TRADITIONAL COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN, AN ON-SITE CLINIC FOCUSES ON INTEGRATING EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELLNESS NEEDS WITH THE OTHER BENEFITS AND SERVICES THE CITY PROVIDES, MAXIMIZING THE VALUE OUR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE FROM THOSE BENEFITS. FOR BOTH PERSONAL HEALTH NEEDS AND ON-THE-JOB INJURIES, PREMISE WORKS WITH CITY STAFF AND VENDORS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND OUR GOALS, NEEDS AND CHALLENGES AND PARTNERS TO CREATE AN OPTIMAL PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES AND THE CITY. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN THE HEALTH OF EMPLOYEES AND WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS FREQUENCY, SEVERITY, AND COST. FOR THIS REASON, AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT. THIS APPROACH THROUGH AN ON-SITE CLINIC, PROVIDES EMPLOYEES THROUGH MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES THAT WORK TO IMPROVE EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND PREVENT THE FUTURE OF ON-THE-JOB INJURIES. HOWEVER, WHEN AN INJURY OCCURS, PREMISE HAS EXPERTISE TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CARE OUR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE FROM THE INITIAL INJURY REPORT AND INJURY INTAKE THROUGH INJURY CARE, RECOVERY, AND RESOLUTION. AN ON-SITE CLINIC CAN BECOME THE HUB OF INTEGRATED EMPLOYEE FOCUS ACTIVITIES. THIS INCLUDES THE COORDINATION OF ON-SITE SPECIALTY CARE, COORDINATION WITH WORKERS COMPENSATION, INSURANCE AND EXTERNAL CASE MANAGERS AND EFFECTIVE INTEGRATED RETURN TO WORK PROCESSES INVOLVING HR, EMPLOYEE MANAGERS, AND THE INSURANCE PROVIDER. THIS FIVE-YEAR PROFORMA IS THE SAME ONE THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE PACKET. WHILE IT ILLUSTRATES THE INSURANCE FUNDS SAVINGS FOR A COST DIVERGENCE, [01:15:02] WHAT IS NOT CONSIDERED AS PART OF THOSE COST SAVINGS IS INFLATION OF HEALTH CARE OVER TIME. ALSO, THE PROFORMA DOES NOT INCLUDE OTHER SAVINGS FOUND THROUGH SOFT DOLLAR SAVINGS, SUCH AS THE REDUCTION IN ABSENTEEISM OR LOST WORK HOURS. ON A CONSERVATIVE LEVEL IT'S EXPECTED TO SAVE US OVER 2,000 HOURS OF LOST TIME FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THROUGH THE ON-SITE CLINIC, THE CITY CAN SAVE MONEY THROUGH DIVERGENT CLAIMS, REDUCING EMPLOYEES TIME AWAY FROM WORK, REDUCTION IN ABSENTEEISM AND MORE EFFECTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT FOR ON-THE-JOB INJURIES. FUNDS ALREADY PART OF THE CITY'S BUDGET FOR BIO-METRIC SCREENINGS, ANNUAL PHYSICALS, DRUG TESTING, FLU SHOTS, AND COVID TESTING WILL BE USED TO OFFSET THE CLINIC EXPENSES. AS REPRESENTED, WE EXPECT THE CLINIC TO START SAVING MONEY A YEAR FORE. [NOISE] AN ON-SITE CLINIC IS THE NEXT STEP TO PROVIDING HEALTH CARE TO OUR EMPLOYEES AND MANAGING COSTS. JUST AS THE CITY HAS CHANGED FROM BEING A FULLY INSURED PLAN, TO PARTICIPATE IN A CO-OP TO NOW BEING A SELF-INSURED PROVIDER. AN ON-SITE CLINIC WILL PROVIDE FRISCO EMPLOYEES AND THEIR DEPENDENCE, A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTH CARE THAT IS INCLUSIVE OF PRIMARY CARE, WELLNESS, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, AND BEYOND. PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT FOR EMPLOYEES TO DELIVER INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS TO THE CITY AND CONTAIN INSURANCE COSTS. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE REGARDING THIS RFP. >> WELL, I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR, I GUESS OVER A YEAR NOW AT LEAST I THINK IN REVIEWING. YOU HAD MENTIONED OUR DECISION WE DID YEARS AGO TO GO SELF-INSURED AND I THINK WE HAD SOME OF THE SAME DISCUSSIONS BACK THEN, WHICH IS, IS GOVERNMENT GETTING INTO THE INSURANCE BUSINESS SUDDENLY? OF COURSE WE WEREN'T. IT WAS MORE OF A FINANCIAL DECISION AS WE CAN IN A RISK MITIGATING DECISION AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AS A CITY AND [INAUDIBLE] 1300 EMPLOYEES HERE FROM CITY OF FRISCO. WOULD YOU SAY REFLECTING BACK ON THAT DECISION THAT IT'S BEEN A NET WIN AND IT'S WORKED OUT AS WE THOUGHT IT WOULD OR HOPED IT WOULD AT THAT TIME? >> DEFINITELY. IT HAS GIVEN US THE ABILITY, LIKE I SAID DURING MY REPORT TO KEEP PREMIUMS DOWN FOR OUR EMPLOYEES FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. WE HAVE AN INCREASE AS TO EMPLOYEES. WE ARE ABLE TO MORE SPECIFICALLY CUSTOMIZE OUR PLAN TO WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES NEED AND WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE THE LITTLE TWEAKS NECESSARY TO CONTROL THE COSTS, CONTAIN COST. >> I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY DURING THAT DISCUSSION WE RECEIVED E-MAILS AND COMMENTS FROM OUR CITIZENS BASICALLY SAYING THAT YOU'RE GETTING IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS AND BECOMING BIG GOVERNMENT. A LOT OF TIMES THAT'S JUST PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING ANYTIME YOU'RE DOING SELF-INSURANCE AND NOW ADDING THE CLINIC, WE'RE GETTING SOME OF THOSE SAME COMMENTS, WHICH IS NOW THE CITY OF FRISCO IS GETTING INTO THE HEALTH CARE BUSINESS BUT YOU ALREADY STATED IN YOUR COMMENTS THAT THIS IS A THIRD-PARTY CONTRACT. AGAIN, TAKING A LONG-TERM APPROACH WHERE YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE DELTA IN YEAR ONE WITH THE HOPES THAT LONG-TERM, IT'S A NET WIN FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO NOT JUST FROM A FINANCIAL IMPACT, BUT FROM A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSPECTIVE TO OUR EMPLOYEES. NO ONE LIKES TO GO TO THE DOCTOR, BUT HOPEFULLY THIS PROVIDES EASIER ACCESS TO SOME OF THESE ROUTINE PROCEDURES. BUT AS OUR COMMITMENT TO THIS, LET'S JUST SAY WE ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS BACK IN SELF-INSURANCE. IF WE GET INTO IT AND IT'S NOT A WIN, WHAT'S AN EXIT STRATEGY? >> IDEALLY, THE CONTRACT IS IN PLACE FOR FIVE YEARS. WE DO HAVE SOME CONTINGENCIES IN PLACE IF COUNCIL SHOULD FEEL OTHERWISE. BUT BEFORE, THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, IT IS INITIALLY A FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT. >> COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR? >> WE ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE SOME COMMENTS. >> I THINK WE HAVE A FEW PEOPLE WHO'VE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FROM GROUND CORNERS. >> WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT FILLED OUT BLUE CARDS. PHYLLIS MASON DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT IS RECORDING HER OPPOSITION TO THIS. THEN WE HAVE CINDY HAWK WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. CINDY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME ON UP TO THE PODIUM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. [NOISE]. >> MY NAME IS CINDY HAWK. I LIVE AT 2651 APRIL SOUND, AND I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT AT FRISCO SINCE 1999. SENIOR GROW, I WANTED TO SAY THAT I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE CITY HEALTH CLINIC. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO OPEN ONE IN FRISCO, WE HAVE CLINICS ON EVERY CORNER, INCLUDING NCVS. [01:20:01] WE HAVE MINCLINICS. THE CITY DOES NOT BELONG IN THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE TRAFFIC, THE PUBLIC SAFETY, AND WAYS TO CUT SPINNING INSTEAD OF INCREASING IT. THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT ARE ON PLACE, ARE NOT WORKING AND IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT. YOU HAVE TWO MEDICAL TREATMENT PROVIDERS THAT YOU RECOMMEND. THE CITY PREMIUMS HAVEN'T INCREASED IN FIVE-YEARS. WHY DO WE NEED A HEALTHCARE BUILDING? WE WANT OUR HEALTHCARE FOR OUR GOVERNMENT IN PLACE TO BE GOOD. THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE IN THE CITY. MR. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, WOULD YOU USE THE CITY HEALTH CLINIC OR WOULD YOU CONTINUE TO USE YOUR PRIVATE PHYSICIANS? THIS ISSUE NEEDS MORE INPUT. AT THE VERY LEAST, PLEASE CONSIDER TABLING THIS VOTE AND TELL MORE CITIZENS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND CAN SHARE THEIR INPUT. FAIR ENOUGH? >> OKAY. COUNCIL ALL THE QUESTIONS COMES HERE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO START IF YOU DON'T MIND. I THINK THERE'S TRY NO SURPRISINGLY WENT UP HERE OR OUT HERE THAT'S BEEN TO THESE MEETINGS THAT I'M AGAINST US AND WILL BE A NO VOTE. JUST WANT TO SHARE MY REASONS WHY LOOKING AT THE PROJECTIONS AT YEAR 5 WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE INVESTMENT OF OUR NET INVESTMENT OF $638,000. JUST TURNING SLIGHTLY POSITIVE IN YEAR 4. I BELIEVE IT'LL TAKE US CLOSE TO 8-9 YEARS, IF NOT LONGER THAN A DECADE TO BREAK-EVEN. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY PRIVATE INDUSTRY WOULD MAKE THAT CHOICE. I'M VERY AFRAID THAT THE LOSSES WILL BE MUCH LARGER DUE TO LOWER UTILIZATION OF THIS CLINIC THAT WE'RE EXPECTING. THEN OUR ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THAT. THE REASON WHY I BELIEVE THAT THE CLINIC IN CURRENT IF I'M WRONG, IS OPEN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8:00 TO 5:00 AND IS CLOSED FOR AN HOUR 12:00 TO 1:00 DURING LUNCH WHEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ON THEIR LUNCH BREAK TO GET OUT AND GO. ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK I MENTIONED EARLY ON, I THINK WE DID A LITTLE BIT OF IT WAS TO COME UP WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO DECREASE THEIR INSURANCE COST. I KNOW WE'VE DONE SOME OF THAT BUT I BELIEVE WE COULD PROBABLY PUSH THE ENVELOPE AND DO MORE. ONE THING I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, AND I'LL END WITH THIS IS MY VOTE AGAINST THIS TONIGHT IS NOT A VOTE AGAINST OUR EMPLOYEES. I THINK IT'S ON THE VERGE OF GOVERNMENT OVERREACH IS CORRECT, UNNECESSARY SPENDING. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THIS PROVIDES THE BEST LONG-TERM BENEFITS TO OUR EMPLOYEES AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW. IT IS MY CORE BELIEF THAT WE DON'T BELONG IN THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS. I KNOW WE MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY DOING IT, BUT WE ARE PAYING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO RUN IT UNDER A CONTRACT AND THEY WILL REPORT TO US. I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLOSE AND I WOULD JUST RATHER USE THE EXCESS MONEY IN OUR INSURANCE RESERVES TO FIND A WAY TO PROVIDE BETTER BENEFITS AND LOWER COST OR POTENTIALLY BOTH. THOSE ARE THE REASONS WHY I'M AGAINST IT AND I WILL LET MY COUNCIL MEMBERS SPEAK. THANK YOU. >> THERE'S ALREADY COMMENTS HERE. >> I'LL GO NEXT. I'VE SAID ON THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE A WHILE AND AGAIN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A LOT. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT AND AND I'VE REALLY TRIED TO GET THERE. I'VE HAD SOME OF THE SAME CONCERNS THAT COMES FROM MEMBER LIVINGSTON HAS HAD. A COUPLE OF THOSE COME DOWN TO THE CONVERSATION OF YES, BY YEAR 5, WE START TO SEE THAT IT'S EXPENSES ARE MEETING THE COSTS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE STILL HAD OUR GOING TAKE AT LEAST ANOTHER 3-5 YEARS TO RECOVER THE STARTUP COSTS. THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE MOST BUSINESSES ARE NOT ABLE TO PRESENT A PROPOSAL WHERE IT TAKES THEM UP TO 10 YEARS TO RECOVER COSTS AND TOO MANY VARIABLES CAN CHANGE IN THAT PROCESS. THE LAWS CAN CHANGE, HEALTHCARE LAWS CAN CHANGE. WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. WE'VE SEEN ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT COME INTO PLAY THERE THAT THEN CHANGE THE COST. BECAUSE OF THAT, I THINK WE'RE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS JUST ON THOSE EXPENSES ALONE THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD USE THE CLINIC. IF WE DON'T MEET THOSE ASSUMPTIONS AND ALL OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE OFF COMPLETELY. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. BUT THEN I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF WE DON'T MAKE THOSE ASSUMPTIONS IN ORDER THEN JUSTIFY THE DECISION, THEN WE WOULD START TO THEN FEEL THE NEED TO TAKE AWAY THE CHOICE OF THE EMPLOYEES OF WHERE THEY GO. I REALIZED THAT WE COULD SAY, WELL, WE WON'T DO THAT. BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT GOING DOWN THAT SLOPE. I FEEL THAT BEING ABLE TO HAVE THOSE CHOICES IS VERY PERSONAL. I WORK IN HEALTHCARE AND WHILE I WOULD RECOMMEND MY FACILITY TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE, [01:25:03] I WOULD ALSO WHEN I CHOOSE PERSONALLY TO HAVE MY CARE, THEN I GO TO A DIFFERENT FACILITY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY EMPLOYER TO BE THAT MUCH IN MY PERSONAL HEALTHCARE BUSINESS. I HAVE A STRUGGLE WITH THAT AND I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO KEEP AT LEAST SOME DIFFERENT DISTANCE BETWEEN THEIR EMPLOYER AND THEIR HEALTHCARE. JUST THERE'S SO MUCH OF THAT YOUR EMPLOYER ALREADY KNOWS WHAT THE INSURANCE I THINK THERE'S JUST SOME OTHERS THAT THEY JUST WANT TO KEEP PRIVATE. THE TIMES OF THE CLINIC, AND OBVIOUSLY IN ORDER TO RUN IT EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY, YOU'D HAVE TO KEEP THE TIMES MINIMUM IN ORDER TO MAKE IT COST EFFECTIVE. BUT YET, AS A MOM, EVERY TIME MY KIDS GOT SICK, IT WAS AFTER 6:00 P.M AND I FOUND MYSELF NOT RUNNING TO THE PEDIATRICIAN. I FOUND MYSELF RUNNING TO THE MINUTECLINIC OR SOMETHING DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION TO GET THEM ON ANTIBIOTICS FRANKLY, SO THEY COULD GET BACK TO SCHOOL QUICKER. I FEEL LIKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS BECOME ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE JUST TOO DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. FOR ME, THIS IS A DECISION THAT WHILE I WILL STAND WITH OUR EMPLOYEES EVERY SINGLE TIME AND WORK TO PROVIDE OTHER SALARY BENEFITS AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD DO, I'M NOT SURE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE TRULY CLANGING FOR. I JUST HAVEN'T HEARD THAT FROM THE EMPLOYEES. THEREFORE, I FEEL LIKE IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE SOMETHING THAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE STILL GOING TO GO OTHER PLACES AND THESE ASSUMPTIONS AND JUST WON'T BE MET. FOR THOSE REASONS, I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THE COST OF THIS IS GOING TO BE RECOVERED WITH WHAT BENEFITS WE MIGHT THINK OF. SO I THINK THAT THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE TOO HIGH AND IT'S A RISK I'M JUST NOT WILLING TO TAKE. WE DON'T ALWAYS RUN THE CITY LIKE A BUSINESS. BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT GOVERNMENT'S JUST NOT GOOD AT. THERE ARE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOCUSING ON. THAT'S JUST WHERE I'M LANDING ON THIS ISSUE TONIGHT, AND I'D LOVE TO BE MOVED OFF OF IT, BUT I'VE TRIED FOR A YEAR TO GET OFF THAT AND I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THERE YET. >> SHAUNA. >> LAURINE, WHEN I THINK ABOUT THIS HUGE CHANGE THAT YOU'RE UNDERTAKING, THE FIRST QUESTION I ALWAYS ASK IS WHY CHANGE? BECAUSE THIS IS NOT ONLY A HUGE FINANCIAL CHANGE FOR THE CITY, BUT IT'S ALSO WHEN ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES. FOR ME, IT GOES BACK TO WHAT'S THE BURNING PLATFORM. AS I THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE PRESENTED AND I'M OBVIOUSLY LATE TO THE PARTY. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS FOR A WHILE, BUT AS I THINK ABOUT TWO REASONS THAT YOU WOULD JUSTIFY THIS CHANGE. THE FIRST ONE IS COST SAVINGS, AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO REACH SOME SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS BY DOING THIS. IF WE CONTINUE WITH THE WAY THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING, IT'S COST-PROHIBITIVE. BASED ON THE FIVE-YEAR PERFORMER, AGAIN, IT'S YOUR FOUR BEFORE WE EVEN START TO SEE ANY SAVINGS. THAT TO ME IS A RED FLAG AS I THINK ABOUT THIS. SO IS IT TRULY A COST SAVINGS IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE REAPING THAT INTO YEAR 4 AND THEN CERTAINLY MUCH LATER. THE SECOND ONE IS THERE AN EMPLOYEE OUTCRY FOR IT? TO ME, IF IT'S NOT NECESSARILY AN IMMEDIATE COST-PROHIBITIVE ACTION. THE SECOND THING THAT I FALL BACK ON IS ARE YOU HEARING JUST INCREDIBLE FEEDBACK FROM THE EMPLOYEES, ESPECIALLY OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS IN TERMS OF THE QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE THAT THEY'RE GETTING? I WOULD AGREE WITH SHAUNA. I AGAIN, I'VE NOT SEEN ANY DATA THAT SAYS, WE'RE LOSING PEOPLE. TURNOVER IS HIGH BECAUSE OF QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE. PEOPLE ARE CLAMORING THAT WE'RE NOT PROVIDING HEALTHCARE SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THIRD PARTY RESOURCES TO LOBBY INTERNALLY FOR THEM. I JUST DON'T HEAR THAT KIND OF FEEDBACK FEEDBACK AND IT MAYBE OUT THERE AND MAYBE SOMETHING I COMPLETELY MISSED IN TERMS OF SURVEY DATA, BUT I'M NOT SEEING IT. THOSE ARE THE TWO BIG PIECES FOR ME IS THAT IT'S NOT SHOWING AN IMMEDIATE COST SAVINGS ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE NOR HAVE I SEEN JUST IN TERMS OF THE JUSTIFICATION THAT YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE FOUR YEARS OUT BEFORE WE START TO SEE SOME SAVINGS, BUT WE'RE LOSING EMPLOYEES OR CULTURALLY, WE'RE HAVING SOME TYPE OF ISSUES WITH HOW EMPLOYEES ARE PERFORMING. THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS THAT REALLY CONCERNED ME IS THAT I'M HESITANT ABOUT SEEING THE BURNING PLATFORM FOR THIS CHANGE. FOR ME, IT'S NOT A NO, IT'S MORE OF A NOT NOW, THAT IS WHERE I STAND AT THIS POINT. >> LAURINE I DID HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, FOR THE RECORD, THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL WOULD SAY IS APPROVED. WOULD WE BE ABLE TO USE THIS FACILITY? >> NO. NOT AS THE AGREEMENT IS WRITTEN TODAY BECAUSE IT'S [01:30:04] ONLY ELIGIBLE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR OUR BENEFITS. >> OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DO WANT TO APPLAUD THE CITY'S FOCUS ON THE EMPLOYEES WELLNESS, AND MY BIG CONCERNS ARE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE THE FINANCES HERE. I THINK THAT THE MEMBERS ARE BASED ON FAR TOO MANY ASSUMPTIONS. IT'S UNCLEAR TO ME HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK IN THE FUTURE FINANCIALLY, AND HOW IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT EVERYBODY IN FRISCO. I WOULD SUPPORT PROGRAMS LIKE MEDICAL PREMIUM CREDITS FOR ACTIVE WELLNESS. >>WHICH WE DO. >> IN THE OTHER TYPE OF LIKE WE REDUCE COST OF MEMBERSHIPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OR EMPLOYEES ACTIVELY TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO GO ON AND DO THAT. I THINK A THIRD THING TOO, AND WHAT'S REALLY BIG FOR ME IN THIS DECISION IS A LOT OF OUR EMPLOYEES DON'T LIVE IN FRISCO. IN FACT, WE HAVE QUITE A FEW THAT THEY WORK ODD HOURS. THEY DO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHIFT WORK AND MAYBE THEY HAVE TO WORK ON SHIFTS AND ODD TIMES AND MAYBE THEY HAVE TO GO TO A PLACE BY WHERE THEY LIVE OR MAYBE IT'S JUST OUT OF THE WAY FOR THEM TO COME TO FRESCO TO USE AS CLINIC. SO I'M GOING TO BE A NO ON THIS TONIGHT. >> I WANT TO GIVE [INAUDIBLE] A CHANCE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE OR? >> I WOULDN'T MIND ADDRESSING A COUPLE OF THESE POINTS ON COST-SAVINGS. IT REALLY IS ABOUT, LIKE I SAID IN THE PRESENTATION, THE NEXT STEP TO COST CONTAINMENT. WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WHEN WE WENT SELF-INSURED. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TWEAK OUR BENEFITS TO MEET OUR EMPLOYEE NEEDS. THIS IS ONE MORE OF THESE THINGS THAT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE QUALITY CARE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND A COST CONTAIN MANNER. THE CLINIC ALSO PROVIDES THE QUALITY CARE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. WELL, WE'D HAVE DONE A SURVEY, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS, I WAS JUST TALKING WITH THE CONSULTANTS ABOUT THAT. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. WE DID HAVE A LOT OF EMPLOYEES THAT DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT FEATURE WHERE WE DO SEE IT, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN CONTEMPLATING THIS CITY, AND GEORGE AND I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS LITERALLY FOR 10 YEARS ABOUT A CLINIC. IT'S BEEN ON THE AGENDA, BUT IT'S BEEN A NOT NOW, NOT NOW, WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE THE POPULATION AND THE EXPENSES TO SUPPORT IT. WHEN WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE POSSIBLY THERE, WE REALLY DOVE INTO WHERE OUR EXPENSES ARE IN OUR PLAN. AS MANY OF THESE EXPENSES THAT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE BETTER CONTAINED IF THEY'RE TREATED AT THE RIGHT LEVEL, THE PRIMARY CARE AS OPPOSED TO THE URGENT CARE DEALING WITH DISEASE MANAGEMENT IN A MORE COMPLETE MANNER AS OPPOSED TO DEALING WITH THE SYMPTOMS, TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE DISEASE MANAGEMENT TO KEEP EMPLOYEES OUT OF EMERGENCY ROOMS AND AT A PRIMARY CARE BEFORE THEY HAVE TO GO TO A SPECIALIST, BECAUSE IT'S GONE OUT OF CONTROL. THERE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A LOUD CRY, BUT WHAT WE'VE SEEN IT FROM IS THE DATA OF OUR ACTUAL CLAIMS EXPENSES. THE OTHER THING THAT'S NOT REPRESENTED HERE, AND I KNOW THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO REALLY PUT AN ACTUAL SPECIFIC DOLLAR FIGURE TO, WHICH IS WHY IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRO FORMA, BUT THERE IS SOFT DOLLAR SAVINGS. THERE ARE SOFT DOLLAR SAVINGS TO BE HAD WITH THE REDUCTION IN THE TIME EMPLOYEES SPEND GOING TO THE DOCTOR, SITTING IN A WAITING ROOM, WAITING FOR TEST RESULTS, ALSO IN TIME OF LOOKING FOR PROPER CARE FOR WHAT THEY NEED, AND IN COORDINATING WITH PROPER SPECIALISTS. WE DO FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS AND COST SAVINGS. THE OTHER THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT THIS IS ALSO TAKING CARE OF OUR OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH NEEDS, THAT WE ALREADY SPENT OVER $300,000 AND IT CONTINUES TO GO UP. I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON ANOTHER PART OF THEIR ANNUAL PHYSICALS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO ADD ONTO IT, BUT WE COULD PROBABLY TAKE CARE OF IT AT THE CLINIC AT A MUCH LOWER COST. WE GO OUT FOR AN RFP EVERY FIVE YEARS, AND WHOEVER WANTS TO RESPOND TO IT IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN A SINGLE PROVIDER THAT WE USE TODAY, AND BEFORE THAT WE USED TO GET MAYBE ONE OR TWO THAT REALLY COULD NOT PROVIDE SERVICES AT THE LEVEL THAT WE NEED THEM TO PROVIDE. WE ARE VERY DEPENDENT UPON ONE PROVIDER, AND THE TALENTS AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THAT STAFF WHICH ARE WORKING FOR US NOW, BUT THEY'RE VERY DEPENDENT UPON THEM, AND THERE'S NOT REALLY REDUNDANCIES OR BACKUP IF THEY DECIDE TO [01:35:03] RETIRE OR IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE THE CARE. AS IT IS, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE CHALLENGED WITH THEIR HOURS, WHEN THEY ARE NOT OPENED, THE DAYS THAT THERE ARE OFTEN LUNCH HOURS. WE'RE TRYING ACTUALLY TO PROVIDE A SERVICE THAT BETTER MEETS THE NEEDS OF OUR EMPLOYEES. HOURS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, AND LOCATION HAS BEEN MENTIONED. VIRTUAL VISITS ARE AVAILABLE. IT IS DURING CLINIC TIMES AT THIS TIME. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPANSION. WHAT WE ARE PRESENTING IS A PLAN THAT WE THINK BEST MEETS OUR NEEDS NOW, AND LET'S SEE HOW IT GROWS AND GOES. BUT OUR EMPLOYEES THAT LIVE FURTHER AWAY, THEY DON'T LIVE HERE, OR THEY'RE FIREFIGHTERS THAT ARE OFF AND DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK INTO FRISCO, OR OTHERS THAT OFTEN DON'T WANT TO DRIVE BACK INTO FRISCO, THEY CAN HAVE A VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT WITH THE CLINIC PROVIDERS, AND THEN THAT CONTINUES TO BE PART OF THEIR RECORD FOR CONTINUED TREATMENT AND FOLLOW-UP. REGARDING HOURS, WE ARE LOOKING AT NOT NECESSARILY BEING 8:00-5:00, BUT SOME EARLY AND SOME LATE HOURS BECAUSE WE NEED THOSE FOR OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR EMPLOYEES. PREDOMINANTLY AT THIS TIME, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, BUT OUR OWN STATISTICS SHOW THAT EVEN TODAY WITH FLEXIBLE CHOICE AND OUR EMPLOYEES ABILITIES TO GO TO MANY CLINICS OR URGENT CARE FACILITIES, WHICH THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE OPTIONS, OUR PREDOMINANT DOCTORS VISITS OF THIS NATURE STILL HAPPEN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND OUR SPECIFIC DATA SHOWS THAT. WE'VE REALLY LOOKED AT THIS WITH A VERY INTENTIONAL PURPOSE OF WHAT OUR CITY NEEDS, WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES NEEDS, WHAT WE NEED FOR OPERATIONS, WHAT WE NEED FOR CONTINUITY, WHAT WE NEED FOR COST CONTAINMENT, AND HOW WE'RE BUILDING FORWARD FOR THE FUTURE. THERE'S JUST A FEW COMMENTS TO FOLLOW UP ON [INAUDIBLE] >> A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FOR ME. I ACTUALLY SPENT PROBABLY TWO OR THREE HOURS ONE DAY ALONE WITH LAUREN AND NOLAN, SHE WAS STILL HERE, AND WHAT SOME OF THE ANALYTICS PROVIDERS AND THE DATA THAT THEY HAD GONE THROUGH, BECAUSE I HAD A LOT OF THOSE SAME CONCERNS ABOUT CAN WE HIT THESE NUMBERS, CAN BE NOT HIT THESE NUMBERS, BECAUSE WITH WHAT I DO ON A DAILY BASIS OF UNDERWRITTEN AND APPROVED LOANS FOR DOZENS OR HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT MEDICAL CLINICS. WHILE I COULDN'T RUN ONE, I'M PRETTY GOOD AT LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS ON THEM. THAT REALLY HELPED GET ME TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. I DO SHARE SOME CONCERNS WITH MY COLLEAGUES, BUT WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS I'M LOOKING AT THE LONG-TERM FOR THE CITY RIGHT NOW. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I WOULD POINT OUT. FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS NOT MANDATORY. WE'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL EMAILS ON THIS THAT WE SHOULD NOT FORCE OUR EMPLOYEES TO GO HERE. THEY'RE NOT BEING FORCED TO GO HERE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD EVER FORCE OUR EMPLOYEES TO GO HERE, OUTSIDE OF CERTAIN ANNUAL PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE TO HAVE THEM GO TO CERTAIN PROVIDERS FOR OTHER REASONS. I'M NOT SO CONCERNED WITH THAT. WE ARE SELF-INSURED, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO REMEMBER. THE CITY IS ALREADY PAYING THIS MONEY OUT TO MEDICAL PROVIDERS. ULTIMATELY, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH A SET-UP LIKE THIS IS TO TAKE WHAT RIGHT NOW IS A 100 PERCENT COMPLETELY VARIABLE COST THAT IS AT THE WHIMS OF THE MARKET, AND LOCK THAT COST IN, SO THAT IF WE HAVE THE NUMBERS OF EMPLOYEES THAT WE EXPECT TO GO THROUGH THIS CLINIC, IT ACTUALLY REDUCES THE CITY'S OVERALL COSTS. OVER THE LONG-TERM, AS THE CITY EMPLOYEE BASE GROWS, THE CLINIC HOURS WOULD PROBABLY GROW TOO. IT HELPS KEEP THOSE COSTS IN CHECK. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE WE HAVEN'T HAD TO ADD TO RAISE PREMIUMS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, BUT IT'S A TOPIC THAT'S COME UP IN OUR BUDGET, AND AUDIT DISCUSSIONS. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT WAY FOREVER. THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES THAT HAVE TO BE MADE. OVER THE LONG TERM, THIS IS A WAY TO TRY TO TAKE THOSE VARIABLE COSTS AND LOCK THEM IN MORE OF A FIXED COST. TO THAT END, I DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT THAT WE TRACK THE PROGRESS OF THIS. LAUREN KNOWS EVERY TIME I'VE SEEN HER I'VE ASKED HER, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THE METRICS? SHE SENT THOSE OUT TODAY. I DO WANT TO SEE A LITTLE MORE FINITE DETAIL ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE ON A QUARTER BY QUARTER BASIS. BUT THEY'RE THERE. WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, WE KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ON TRACK TO HIT THOSE NUMBERS, AND WE'LL KNOW THAT PRETTY QUICK, THE FIRST QUARTER OR TWO THAT WE OPERATE, ASSUMING THIS GETS PROVED. YOU MENTIONED ABOUT ADJUSTING THE HOURS. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. I WOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WE TRY TO FIND PROVIDERS TO [01:40:01] DO THIS FOR US, AND THERE WERE NOT ANY. THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER CLINICS OUT THERE. NONE OF THEM WANTED TO HELP OUT WITH THIS. THIS VENDOR DOES THIS. A LOT OF THE ANALYTICS THAT I LOOKED AT INITIALLY WITH OUR VENDOR, SIMILAR CITIES THAT HAVE DONE THIS SEE THOSE COST SAVINGS. I THINK SOMEBODY ASKED A QUESTION, IF WOULD I USE THIS CLINIC? IF I COULD USE THIS CLINIC FOR THE COST THAT OUR EMPLOYEES COULD USE IT, YES, ABSOLUTELY IN A HEARTBEAT. BECAUSE OUR EMPLOYEES HAVE BETTER INSURANCE COVERAGE THAN I DO. EVERYBODY ELSE HAS MADE THEIR COMMENTS. I THINK, PRETTY GOOD IDEA HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO, EXCEPT FOR JOHN AND WE'RE GOING TO WRAP UP. YOU GET TO GO LAST TODAY. I THINK WE AS A CITY NEED TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO FIND WAYS, NOT JUST TO SAY, WE DON'T NEED IT NOW, IT'S NOT FIXED OR IT'S NOT BROKEN. DON'T TRY TO FIX IT, BUT LOOK AT WHAT'S COMING. WE KNOW HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE ONLY GOING TO GO UP IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S A GIVEN. I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO FIND INNOVATIVE WAYS, OR IN THIS CASE, PRETTY STANDARD WAYS BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT BE THE ONLY CITY OR MUNICIPALITY DOING THIS. THESE ARE DONE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY HAVE THE RESULTS THAT LAUREN'S TALKING ABOUT. I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE LOOKING AT THAT APPROACH. YES, IT TAKES LONGER BASED ON CURRENT PROJECTIONS TO SHOW A BREAK-EVEN. HOWEVER, IF MORE EMPLOYEES USE THIS THAN WE EXPECT, THEN THAT TIME-FRAME SHRINKS. OUTSIDE OF THE INITIAL SETUP COSTS, YOU LOOK AT THAT AND WE'RE ALMOST AT A BREAK-EVEN IN YEAR TWO OR THREE, NOT YEAR FOUR. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU DO HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE BIT TO GET EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING. WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AS LONG AS WE HAVE THOSE QUARTERLY TRACKING FIGURES IN PLACE. I KNOW YOU'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF REFINING SOME OF THOSE, BUT THE DATA THAT I SAW TODAY IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF IT AT THIS POINT. >> JUST REAL QUICKLY ON THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES, JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR, THERE IS A PERFORMANCE AND MONETARY PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE IN WITH THE CONTRACT. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY SPECIFIC, INTENTIONAL. IT IS PART OF THE STANDARD OPERATIONS. THERE'S 30 PERCENT OF THE MANAGEMENT FEE FROM PREMISE HEALTH THAT IS ON THE TABLE, SHOULD THEY NOT MEET THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES. IT'S A CONTINUED WAY FOR US TO DEFINITELY PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT WE ALREADY PAY FOR TODAY AT A REDUCED COST. ONE OF THE EXAMPLES IN THE MEMO WAS EVEN JUST COVID TESTING. WE SPENT, I THINK IT WAS A $156,000 JUST FROM JANUARY THROUGH AUGUST WITH COVID TESTING FOR A LITTLE OVER 1,000 EMPLOYEES. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE AT A FRACTION OF THE COST, LESS THAN HALF OF THE COST, IF IT HAD BEEN DONE FOR THE ACTUAL EXPENSES AT THE CLINIC, IS JUST ONE REALLY QUICK CURRENT EXAMPLE. >> IN UTILIZATION PROJECTIONS, THAT'S THE BIG UNKNOWN. BILL REFERENCED OTHER CITIES THAT CURRENTLY HAVE THIS STRUCTURE, DO WE HAVE ANY AVERAGE UTILIZATION RATES FROM SOME OF THESE OTHER CITIES? >> NOT SPECIFICALLY THAT I HAVE HANDY AT THIS TIME, BUT I WILL SAY THAT TO THAT POINT, THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FACTORS THAT MAKES THIS A SUCCESS IS THE ACTUAL UTILIZATION. LOCKED IN OUR CONSULTANTS, THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME. THEY HAVE A WHOLE UNIT THAT IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH CLINICS AND UTILIZATION OF CLINICS. THEY BASE THIS ON THEIR REAL EXPERIENCE OF HOW CLINICS ARE USED IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION TO OUR ACTUAL CLAIM STATUS, THEY DIDN'T LOOK AT JUST INDUSTRY AVERAGE, AND THIS IS JUST AN AVERAGE OF WHAT IT IS THE NORM IN OTHER BUSINESSES. THEY LOOKED AT OUR CLAIMS DATA, OUR HISTORY, WHAT OUR ABILITY TO DIVERT THOSE CLAIMS ARE, AND WHERE WE FELT THAT WE REALLY HAD AN IMPACT OF PROVIDING BETTER CARE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AT THE LOWER COST LEVEL. OUR COSTS FOR A AVERAGE PRIMARY CARE VISIT IS OVER THE NORM. WE HAVE HIGH UTILIZATION, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT THE COST IS ALMOST $50 MORE IN THE COMMUNITY THAN JUST THE NORM OF WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES USE. [01:45:02] THE COST OF THE DOCTORS IN THE METROPLEX ARE EXPENSIVE AND THEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO THEM, WHEN YOU'VE WAITED FOR DISEASES TO GET OUT OF CONTROL, THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE HIGHER COST DOCTORS TO DO THAT. LIKE I SAID, WE'VE BEEN VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT OUR CLAIMS DIVERGENT, WHAT WE FEEL IS REALISTIC, EVEN DOWN TO DRILLING DOWN TO THE POPULATION OF THE DEPENDENCE THAT WE FEEL IS A REALISTIC REPRESENTATION OF DEPENDENCE AND SEPARATING THEM FROM THE EMPLOYEES. IT'S NOT JUST WE ASSUME EVERYBODY IN THIS CATEGORY IS GOING TO USE THIS. I DON'T HAVE IT FROM OTHER CLINICS, BUT I DO HAVE LIKE I SAID, OURS WAS LOOKED AT VERY INTENTIONALLY AND VERY SPECIFICALLY. [NOISE] >> LAUREN, I THINK EVERYONE UP HERE WOULD SAY, AND I'VE HEARD YOU FOR LONG ENOUGH AND KNOW THESE GOOD PEOPLE AS CHAMPIONS FOR THE HARDWORKING TAXPAYER. I'M A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR TRACK AND RETAIN BEST EMPLOYEES. THOSE TAX DOLLARS ARE PUT TO THE BEST POSSIBLE USE AND THAT INCLUDES COMPETITIVE PAY AND BENEFITS. AS YOU SAID THE DISCUSSION'S BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER THREE YEARS. WE'VE ROLLED UP OUR SLEEVES AND WORKED ON THIS FOR ABOUT THE LAST THREE YEARS INCLUDING PUBLIC MEETINGS. THE TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY INSPIRED US TO GAIN MORE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OVER OUR COSTS. AS YOU DESCRIBED EARLIER, WE WENT FROM FULLY INSURED AND PAYING A FORTUNE TO JOINING A [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN FINALLY BECOMING SELF-INSURED. THIS IS THE NEXT NATURAL PROGRESSION. IF WE WEREN'T DOING THIS, I THINK WE'D HAVE CITIZENS COMING IN AND SAYING, WHY AREN'T YOU CONSIDERING AN ALTERNATIVE TO THESE DOCS IN THE BOX AND TO THESE OUT-OF-NETWORK FACILITIES AND THE OUT OF POCKET COSTS THAT ARE INCURRED UPON OUR EMPLOYEES AND THE INFLATED COSTS THAT ARE THEN PASSED BACK TO THE CITY THAT ARE PAID FOR ULTIMATELY BY THE TAXPAYER. THIS IS PART OF RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT. THIS IS PART OF BEING A GOOD STEWARD OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS, IS TO CONSIDER THIS OPPORTUNITY. WE'RE NOT FORCING ANYONE TO GET HERE. YOU STILL HAVE OPTIONS AND I BELIEVE THIS IS OPEN TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF EMPLOYEES AS WELL. YOUR USAGE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE JUST FINE. AS COSTS AND TRENDS IMPACT THE INDUSTRY, THEY IMPACT ALL PROVIDERS. WHETHER THEY'RE COMING TO OUR CLINIC OR GOING ANYWHERE ELSE. THOSE COSTS ARE INHERENT. WE PROVIDE CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP IS WE CAN DETERMINE THOSE FIXED COSTS AND WHAT THOSE CEILINGS ARE. WE CAN DETERMINE. WHAT THE INDUSTRY CALLS UCR, USUAL CUSTOMARY REASONABLE CHARGES, AND THEN CONTROL THOSE COSTS. I THINK THESE NUMBERS ARE QUITE FRANKLY CONSERVATIVE. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE A QUICKER, FASTER RATE OF RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT. THEN TO THE CONCERN THAT THE EMPLOYEE OUTCRY ISN'T NECESSARILY THERE YET. WE HAVE GREAT BENEFITS, VERY COMPETITIVE FOR THE AREA. THE PAY IS COMPETITIVE FOR THE AREA DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU'RE POLICE, FIRE, WHETHER YOU WORK IN PARKS AND REC PLANNING AND ZONING, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. I THINK WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY COMES IN IS WHERE YOU TAP THAT EMPLOYEE ON THE SHOULDER AND SAY," HEY, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO NOT HAVE TO PAY A COPAY AND TO NOT HEAVIER DEDUCTIBLE IMPACTED AND TO PROTECT YOUR WALLET AT THE SAME TIME. " THEN THOSE COSTS TRANSLATE BACK INTO OUR BOTTOM LINE AND WE CAN SAVE THE TAXPAYER MONEY AS WELL. I THINK WE CAN TURN THIS AROUND AND LOOK AT THIS THE OTHER WAY THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. WITH 1,700 EMPLOYEES, ANY CORPORATION OUT THERE WITH OVER 1,000 IS GOING TO CONSIDER THIS OPPORTUNITY, AND THERE CLINICS ARE OUT THERE IN CORPORATE AMERICA? THEY'RE OUT THERE AND, OTHER FAST-GROWING CITIES. WE'VE GROWN SO FAST. THIS PERHAPS HASN'T OCCURRED TO US OR TO OUR CITIZENS IN AN OVERLY MANNER. NOW HERE IT IS UPON US AND I'VE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH. I'VE HEARD THE, "NOT NOW, NOT NOW. NOT NOW." IF NOT NOW WHEN? ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF COVID, COMING OUT OF A PANDEMIC. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A BETTER TIME OR A BETTER ADVERTISEMENT TO DO THIS THAN NOW. I'M A YES VOTE ON THIS. I'VE BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME. I THINK YOU'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB. I COMMUNICATED NOT ONLY TO COUNSEL, BUT ALSO TO OUR STAFF AND EMPLOYEES AND HOPEFULLY, THOSE MESSAGES HAVE REACHED TO OUR COMMUNITY. I KNOW WE'VE ALL RECEIVED SOME EMAILS AND DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION, PERHAPS MISUNDERSTANDING OUT THERE. I KNOW WE ALL GOT TO WORK ON HELPING THAT LINE OF COMMUNICATION. [01:50:02] BUT QUITE FRANKLY, I'M ALL FOR THIS. I'M SURPRISED IT DOESN'T HAVE MORE SUPPORT GIVEN THE INPUT COUNSELS PROVIDED TO YOU OVER THE YEARS, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY MORE CONVERSATIONAL TURN IT BACK OVER TO MAYOR, BUT I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR THIS. >> I'D LIKE TO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS. I DID ASK LAUREN TO LOOK INTO THIS OVER 10 YEARS AGO. I'VE GOT A LOT OF REASONS FOR IT. ONE WHICH MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IS IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN TODAY, AND I DON'T THINK GOING INTO RANDOM CORNERS IS HEALTHY CARES. I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOOD QUALITY LONG-TERM CARE. IT MAY HELP YOU TO GET THROUGH A SORE THROAT, FLU, OR SOMETHING. BUT I THINK FOR LONG-TERM CARE, IT REALLY WOULD HELP TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOKING AND WORKING WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT WE SPENT $20 MILLION A YEAR ON HEALTH CARE. THIS IS THE PERCENTAGES ON THAT. THIS COULD DO WHAT? NEVER GETTING BETTER AND WHAT IT SAYS THERE AND STILL POSSIBLY BE A VERY GOOD PROGRAM FOR THE CITY. ESPECIALLY FOR SOME OF THE TOUGHEST WORKERS WE CAN GET TODAY, WHICH ARE THE LOWER PAID WORKERS WHO HAVE THE WORST HEALTH CARE AVAILABLE TO THEM AT ALL. THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT WAY TO INTRODUCE THOSE FOLKS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS TO SOME QUALITY HEALTHCARE. FRANKLY, I'VE BEEN DISAPPOINTED LAWRENCE TAKING SO LONG TO GET HERE. OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE TIMELINE, I'LL NEVER USE IT. I'VE GOTTEN NO VESTED INTEREST HERE, OTHER THAN MY 34 YEARS OF OBSERVATION OF THE EMPLOYEES IN THE CITY, AND 34 YEARS I HAVE SEEN THE INSURANCE PREMIUMS. THAT'S ALL THROUGH THOSE YEARS. AS YOU ALL HAVE NOTED AND SEEN AND HEARD ABOUT THE PROGRESSION THAT WE MADE. I MAY UNDERSTAND PEOPLE SAYING THAT IT'S A LIBERAL OR A DEMOCRAT THING. I WON'T TELL YOU MY POLITICAL BELIEFS, BUT THAT'S NOT IT. I CARE VERY MUCH ABOUT THE TAXPAYERS MONEY. I SPENT MY WHOLE CAREER TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT TAXPAYERS MONEY IS NOT WASTED. IF I THOUGHT THIS WAS A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY, LAUREN WOULD NOT EVEN BE UP TO THE PODIUM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T AND NEVER GOT ON THE AGENDA. LOOK, I COUNT VOTES, I UNDERSTAND, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHERE I STOOD, WHAT I FEEL ABOUT IT. WE KEEP GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WE'RE GOING AND NOT TRYING TO DO BETTER. BUT I THINK THIS IS A BETTER WAY. WE ACTUALLY HAVE EMPLOYEES HERE WHO HAVE INSURANCE THROUGH THEIR SPOUSES. WHO HAVE ASKED ME SAID, "WELL, WE DON'T HAVE ANSWERS TO THE CITY, BUT COULD WE POSSIBLY IF WE HAVE A COLD OR NEED TO GO THE DOCTOR WITH A SORE THROAT OR SOMETHING CAN WE JUST RUN OVER TO GET TO THIS PLANNING? " I SAID, I DON'T KNOW ONE REASON WHY NOT, BECOMES BASICALLY THE EMPLOYEES' INSURANCE IS BASICALLY GIVEN TO YOU. THEY'RE SAVING US A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY BY NOT BEING ON OUR INSURANCE. ANOTHER THING IS, WE HAVE SO MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT THEY'RE OFF THEIR JOB. WE HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE IN AT OVER TIME, WE COME IN AND WORK FOR. ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THEIR LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE, DOES NOTHING BUT HAVE TO LOWER TAX NOT RAISE TAXES. OVER 70 PERCENT OF WHAT WE SPEND ON THE GENERAL FUND IS FOR PERSONNEL. THAT IS OUR LARGEST EXPENSE. OUR LARGEST EXPENSE IN THE CITY IS PAYING ABOUT $60 MILLION A YEAR TO NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. OUR NEXT LARGEST EXPENDITURES, $20 MILLION PAID FOR THE HEALTH CARE EMPLOYEES. I GET IT. I UNDERSTAND. IF YOU'RE AGAINST IT, I RESPECT YOU AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS ABOUT IT AND WHERE I'M COMING [01:55:02] FROM AND WHY I ASKED LAURENCE A DECADE AGO TO LOOK INTO THIS. DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WOULD BE DONE, BUT AT LEAST YOU'RE BROUGHT IT TO YOU. YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT AND DECIDE WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST FOR THE LONG-TERM GOALS. THANKS. >> BRITISH COUNCIL, I LOOK FOR HOW YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AT YOUR PLEASURE. WE CAN TAKE EMOTION IF COUNCIL MEMBERS FEEL LIKE THEY NEED MORE TIME, AS WAS ASKED, WE CAN CERTAINLY TABLE OR IF EVERYONE'S READY TO MAKE THE DECISIONS TONIGHT WE CAN DO THAT TOO. LOOK TO YOU FOR THAT, EVERYONE DECIDE. >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO, I GUESS THE CREDIT TERMS DECLINE ITEM NUMBER 32. >> SECOND. >> JUST POINT OF ORDER. I'D LIKE MY QUESTION ANSWERED FIRST BEFORE. [OVERLAPPING] NO AM SORRY. MY QUESTION THE COUNCIL IS WE HEARD GEORGE GIVE HIS OPINION, HE DOESN'T DO IT VERY OFTEN. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER FEELS COMFORTABLE CASTING THEIR VOTE TONIGHT OR IF THERE'S OTHERS THAT WOULD LOOK TO TABLE. >> MIRACLE FIRST, FIRST OF ALL, IT IS RARE THAT YOU HEAR OUR CITY MANAGER MAKE SUCH A PLEA AND I HAVE YET MOST RESPECT FOR CITY MANAGER GEORGE PUREFOY IN HIS PERSPECTIVE. I WILL ASK IF I COULD HAVE MORE TIME TO SPEND IN DISCUSSION WITH LAURA. I ADMITTEDLY DON'T HAVE THE HISTORY THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE HERE, HAVING DISCUSSES FOR MANY YEARS. I'VE LOOKED AT THE DATA. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A DEEPER DISCUSSION WITH YOU. I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY SEE JUST THE EMPLOYEE DATA. BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE COST CONTAINMENT COMPONENTS OF THIS AND I GET THAT. BUT WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO TALK FURTHER ABOUT JUST THE SERVICE ENHANCEMENT. WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM OUR EMPLOYEES ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS, IN PARTICULAR POLICE AND FIRE IN TERMS OF THEIR OVERALL HEALTH CARE SERVICE. I WOULD LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME BEFORE I MAKE A DECISION. >> THAT PATH BECAUSE THERE WERE ODDS THAT, THIS IS A NIGHT AND MY MAIN AND VOTING ON, AND I WOULD SAY THAT GEORGE'S COMMENTS ARE CERTAINLY COMMENTS THAT I NEED. I DON'T KNOW ANYWAY, CERTAINLY. I THINK WE HAD SOME INPUT FROM RESIDENTS THAT THOUGHT MAYBE WE SHOULD GET MORE FEEDBACK. IF THERE'S NO TIME URGENCY ON THIS ITEM. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS THE LEASE AND WE MIGHT [OVERLAPPING] HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH SPACE. PART ME? >> I WILL HAVE TO GET TYPING. >> YEAH. WE'LL TALK SPACE. >> I CERTAINLY RESPECT ALL MY COLLEAGUES AND IF THEY FOR MORE TIME, I THINK IT'S MORE OF A SITUATION OF, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY VOTES ARE GOING TO CHANGE ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE STANDS LIKE. AS MUCH AS I RESPECT GEORGE MORE THAN PROBABLY ANY OTHER HUMAN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO GET THERE. BUT IF OTHER PEOPLE STILL FEEL LIKE THEY NEED TIME, I CAN RESPECT THAT. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE ANYBODY'S POSITIONS OR VOTES ON THAT. I KNOW COMES FROM PELHAM, SHE'S ASKING FOR THAT. WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS PUT US THROUGH MORE MONTHS OF THIS AND JUST BE RIGHT BACK HERE AGAIN. IF THE VOTES NOT GOING TO GET ANY DIFFERENCE FROM THAT POINT REALLY, THEN MAYOR I RESPECT THAT THERE MAY BE A TIE. I MEAN, YOU MAYBE CASTING A VOTE, SO I RESPECT THAT. I DON'T WANT US TO GO DOWN TO THIS ANOTHER THREE TO SIX MONTHS AND STILL BE RIGHT BACK HERE AGAIN. >> JUST READING TEA LEAVES. I THINK THAT WHILE SOME INDIVIDUAL VOTES MAY CHANGE, THERE MAY BE ENOUGH PERHAPS WAY THAT IT COULD CHANGE THE OUTCOME. GIVEN THIS HAS BEEN A 10-YEAR PROCESS WITH THREE YEARS INVESTED. I JUST HAD RESPECT FOR CITY STAFF AND REALLY THE DIRECTION IT'S ONE WAY TO GET RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF VALLEY COMMENTS ON BOTH SIDES. I'LL BE PERFECTLY HONEST. THIS IS A TOPIC THAT I HAVE VERY LITTLE EXPERTISE IN. IN FACT, IF ANYTHING, WE TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE IS PROBABLY THE THING AND THE LEAST ABOUT. THIS LITERALLY ONE THAT I'M ON THE FENCE AND DEPENDING ON WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER WE'RE SPEAKING PROBABLY FELT DIFFERENT ABOUT IT AFTER EACH COMMENTS ON IT BECAUSE THERE'S DEFINITELY PROS AND CONS TO THE APPROACH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE THOUGHTFUL AND WE'RE GETTING IT RIGHT AND WE'RE BEING RESPECTFUL OF ALL THE WORK THAT CITY STAFF HAS PUT INTO THIS. [02:00:01] IN THE END, WHEREVER THE OUTCOME FALLS, YOU KNOW THAT EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER DID THEIR HOMEWORK AND VOTED WITH THEIR HEART AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. MY RECOMMENDATION IS WE JUST PERHAPS TABLE IT TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, [INAUDIBLE] BUT AN EVERYTHING UP KIND OF WAY, THE COMMENTS AND THEN EVERYONE BE PREPARED TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION. AT THAT POINT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY AS WAS REQUESTED FOR FURTHER FEEDBACK FROM OUR CITIZENS TO WEIGH AND THEN I THINK WE CAN GO FROM THERE. >> OUT OF RESPECT TO AS COLLEAGUES, WE TEND TO, SOMEBODY SAYS THAT THEY'RE IN THAT PLACE. WE TEND TO THEN OFFER THAT AS A COURTESY TO EACH OTHER TO HAVE THAT EXTRA TIME. I WILL THEN MOVE TO TABLE ITEM 32. >> I CAN START REMOVE MY MOTION FIRST AS IT WAS MADE AND SECONDED. >> THERE'S A MOTION PENDING. >> EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T CALL FOR MOTIONS. >> YEAH. >> THERE IS [NOISE] [NOISE] [OVERLAPPING] >> IT'S BEEN MADE. WE DON'T HAVE RULES ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER. TYPICALLY, WE ALLOW MOTIONS TO GO FORWARD. THERE'S NOT A RULE ABOUT IT THOUGH. >> I REMOVE IT SINCE WE DON'T WANT US I'M ROBERT RULES OF ORDERS WITH OKAY. WELL, I WITHDRAW MY MOTION. [BACKGROUND] I MOVE TO TABLE TO PUBLIC MEETING. >>YEAH, FIRST BEING DECEMBER >> DECEMBER 7TH. >> MOVE THE TABLE ITEM 32 UNTIL DECEMBER 7TH [OVERLAPPING]. BRIAN'S. SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MOTION PASSES 60, SO WE'LL DO THE SAME THING WITH THE NEXT ITEM. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL. [33. Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with Preston MOB Partners for the lease of medical office space for the employee health clinic. (Human Resources/DF)] >> WHICH IS ITEM 33, CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER EXECUTE COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT WITH [INAUDIBLE] BE PARTNERS TO FOR THE LEASE OF MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE FOR THE EMPLOYEE HEALTH CLINIC. BRIAN, YOU WILL MAKE SAME MOTION. >> MOVE TO TABLE ITEM 33 UNTIL DECEMBER 7TH MEETING. >> [INAUDIBLE] SHONA, ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> [INAUDIBLE] MOTION PASSES 60 OUT AND 34 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION, [34.

OBVIOUSLY, THE ONE WE JUST FINISHED IS A BIG ONE. THE OTHER ITEMS OF NOTE. THIRTY FIVE IS GOVERNMENT'S MONITORING. [35. Discussion on Governance Monitoring of present City Council Meeting.] >> OBVIOUS, WE'VE GOT THAT TONIGHT. [LAUGHTER] I THINK WE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB. ESPECIALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT WE HAD SOME DIFFERENT OPINIONS, BUT WE SHOWED EACH OTHER RESPECT AND LISTEN TO IT AND CAME TO THE BEST SOLUTION FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. >> THAT'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> [INAUDIBLE] MOTION PASSES 60. WE'RE ADJOURNED AT 9:18 PM. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
