[PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE]

[4. Recognition of the Hebron High School Marching Band - 2021 State UIL 6A Marching Band Champion]

[5. Health for Humanity Yogathon Month (HSS Organization)]

IS THERE SOMEONE HERE TO JOIN ME FOR THIS? ALL RIGHT.

[00:05:12]

HELP ME OUT HERE. SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH ALL RIGHT, YOU NAILED IT.

OR SUN SALUTATION--I KNOW THAT ONE--IS A TRADITIONAL YOGA PRACTICE, COMBINING A SEQUENCE OF POSTURES WITH BREATHING EXERCISES AND WHEREAS HINDU SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH OR HSS, IS A NONPROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WITH OVER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY BRANCHES IN ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE CITIES AND THIRTY FOUR STATES, INCLUDING TWENTY FIVE BRANCHES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, HSS CONDUCTS IN HINDU VALUES, EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR HINDU FAMILIES AND VARIOUS COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS CONDUCTING FOOD DRIVES AND PROVIDING HOT MEALS TO SHELTERS IN LOCAL CITIES ACROSS TEXAS AND WHEREAS HSS IS AN ORGANIZATION, ITS ANNUAL HEALTH FOR HUMANITY YOGATHON WITH A GOAL OF HAVING 20000 INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS PRACTICE.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO DO HEREBY PROCLAIM JANUARY 2022 AS HEALTH FOR HUMANITY YOGATHON MONTH.

LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO TELL US MORE? JUST TAKE MORE THAN ONE MINUTE.

THAT'S IT. LESS THAN ONE MINUTE, SORRY.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS DR.

[INAUDIBLE]. I'M A FRISCO RESIDENT.

I'M A PRACTICING NEUROLOGIST, YOGA INSTRUCTOR, AND I'M A [INAUDIBLE] PRACTITIONER OF YOGA AND I SEE THE BENEFITS OF YOGA IN PERSONALLY MYSELF AND WHEN I DISCUSS WITH MY PATIENTS, I DISCUSS ABOUT YOGA ALL THE TIME.

IT IS SAFEST, COST EFFECTIVE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A PENNY.

YOU JUST HAVE TO SPEND 15 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND IT WILL GIVE YOU TREMENDOUS BENEFITS, BOTH IN PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S VERY UNDERUTILIZED BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH AWARENESS.

THE GOAL OF ACCESS IS TO IMPROVE THE AWARENESS AND IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED, ANY ORGANIZATION, ANY AGENCY, INCLUDING IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, IF INTERESTED, WE ARE HAPPY TO COME BY AND DEMONSTRATE AND I WILL GUARANTEE YOU THAT IF YOU ARE TAKING ANY PILLS, YOU'LL BE OFF PILLS IN ONE YEAR.

SO DO YOGA 15 MINUTES A DAY, YOU WILL KEEP DOCTOR AWAY.

[CHUCKLING] THANK YOU. I LIKE THAT.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD OR? WELL, YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS, BUT I'M ACTUALLY A YOGI AS WELL.

SO I HAVE DONE YOGA ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH WILL BE MY SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF STARTING TO DO IT AND SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT I ALMOST CAN'T GET A DAY WITHOUT GOING FOR ALL THE REASONS I READ MY PROCLAMATION, SO MUCH SO THAT I ACTUALLY OWN A YOGA STUDIO HERE IN FRISCO.

I DO.

THE STUDIO THAT I WENT TO WAS GOING TO CLOSE BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTOR WAS GOING TO RETIRE AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO CLOSE AND SO I BOUGHT IT WITH MY SISTER.

SO MY SISTER ACTUALLY RUNS THE YOGA STUDIO.

SO I'M A BIG ADVOCATE FOR YOGA AND PEOPLE'S LIVES.

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING IT.

SO ESPECIALLY YOUNG ATHLETES.

I'M A BIG ADVOCATE FOR YOUNG ATHLETES TO PUT IT INTO THEIR PRACTICE, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'RE DOING AND THANK YOU FOR COMING AND SHARING YOUR VISION HERE AT THE CITY OF FRISCO.

SO I'D LOVE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU ALL WITH THE PROCLAMATION.

SO ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW US A QUICK HANDSTAND REALLY QUICK? I'M KIDDING. [CHUCKLING] THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE WAS WORTH THE JOKE.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOU.

LET'S GIVE THEM ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

THANK YOU AGAIN. [APPLAUSE] I APPRECIATE YOU.

MAYOR, JUST ON THE FIRST ITEM, I KNOW THAT WE WERE ASKED TO POSTPONE THAT BY LEWISVILLE ISD, BUT I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS FROM LEWISVILLE ISD HERE IN THE ROOM THIS EVENING.

WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE CITIZEN INPUT.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT?

[00:10:07]

OK.

ONE THING I DID WANT TO RECOGNIZE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, FRISCO LOST A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON IN OUR HISTORY, MR. SAM ROACH THIS WEEK AND THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE COME TO KNOW SAM OVER THE YEARS, YOU KNOW, NONE OF US WOULD EVER GET TIRED OF HEARING HIS STORIES OF FRISCO AND HE WOULD LOVE TO TELL THE STORIES OF FRISCO, AND I THOUGHT THE FRISCO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DID A GREAT WRITE-UP OF HIM AND I JUST WANTED TO CELEBRATE HIM BY KIND OF SHARING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY PUT OUT.

THE ROACH FAMILY, THEIR ROOTS RUN DEEP IN FRISCO, DATING BACK TO THE LATE EIGHTEEN HUNDREDS. VERY FEW PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY WERE BORN AND RAISED IN FRISCO, AND EVEN FEWER HAVE MADE THE IMPACT THAT SAM ROACH HAS MADE IN FRISCO.

SAM NOT ONLY LIVED AND WORKED IN FRISCO FOR MOST OF HIS LIFE, BUT ALSO GRADUATED AS VALEDICTORIAN IN HIS FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL CLASS AND IS BEST KNOWN FOR HELPING SHAPE FRIST GO INTO THE CITY IT IS TODAY.

HE LEFT A LESS LASTING LEGACY AND CLEARLY LEFT A MARK ON FRISCO.

HE LOVED THE CITY AND HIS STORIES ABOUT FRISCO'S GROWTH OVER THE YEARS MAKE PEOPLE SMILE.

HE OFTEN TOLD THE STORY, WHICH WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF THE BULLDOZER MANY TIMES AN EFFORT THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT AS HOPED, BUT SHOWS THAT OUR LEADERS WERE INNOVATIVE THINKERS AS THEY ARE TODAY AND I'LL LET COMMUNITY IMPACT UP THERE MAYBE SHARE THAT BULLDOZER STORY WITH Y'ALL, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT, IT'S WORTH TELLING.

HE WAS AS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION IN THE FRISCO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SAM ROACH AND HIS BUSINESS, THE SAM ROACH BUSINESS PARK, WAS RECOGNIZED FOR BEING ITS LONGEST FRISCO CHAMBER MEMBER TO DATE OVER 35 YEARS.

HE DIDN'T SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN FRISCO.

IN HIS EARLY DAYS AT THE FRISCO CHAMBER, HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WHICH LED TO THE CREATION OF THE FRISCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IN 1991, WHERE MR. ROACH SERVED AS THE EDCS FIRST BOARD PRESIDENT.

HE HAS OVER THE YEARS SHARED STORIES OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION'S FIRST TWO PROJECTS A SIDEWALK ON FISH STREET AND A FIRE HYDRANT FOR THE LA HACIENDA RANCH RESTAURANT ON FRISCO ROAD.

THE PROJECTS HAVE GROWN LARGER, CERTAINLY OVER THE YEARS.

I FIRST MET SAM ROACH WHEN I SERVED ON THE FRISCO EDUCATION FOUNDATION MANY YEARS AGO, AND THE EDUCATION WAS IMPORTANT TO SAM, AS WAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

HE GRADUATED FROM FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL IN NINETEEN FIFTY THREE AND ALWAYS DESIRED TO GIVE BACK. HE SERVED FOUR TERMS IN THE FRISCO ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SERVING 13 YEARS ON THE COLLEN COLLEGE COMMUNITY, COLLIN DISTRICT BOARD.

HE WAS A COLLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER COLLIN COLLEGE FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBER FOR 15 YEARS.

IN 2005, ROACH BECAME THE FIRST NAMESAKE OF A FRISCO ISD MIDDLE SCHOOL.

OBVIOUSLY, HE WAS AWARDED MANY TIMES FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO FRISCO IN 1988.

THE CHAMBER RECOGNIZED ROACH AS A CITIZEN OF THE YEAR.

IN 2015, HE RECEIVED THE CHAMBER'S SILVER CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY OVER TWENTY FIVE YEARS.

HE WAS NAMED THE FRISCO STYLE MAGAZINE PERSON OF THE YEAR IN [INAUDIBLE].

HE'S KNOWN FOR HIS QUIET DEMEANOR, HIS AW SHUCKS PERSONALITY AND EVERYONE THAT EVER CAME TO MEET HIM KNEW HIM AS A FRIEND.

SO ON BEHALF OF OUR COUNCIL AND RESIDENTS OF FRISCO, I KNOW THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SADNESS IN HIS LOSS, BUT THIS IS TRULY KIND OF A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HE'S MADE TO NOT JUST THE PEOPLE HERE IN FRISCO, BUT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. SO JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE RECOGNIZE HIM TODAY.

MAYOR, BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO REPORTS, THE CITIZEN, YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ITEM TWENTY SEVEN; THAT IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, SO WE MAY WANT TO TAKE THAT INPUT NOW OR WE'D HAVE TO PULL THAT ITEM FROM CONSENT AGENDA SO SHE CAN SPEAK ON IT BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT. WE CAN PULL IT JUST SO IT'S ATTACHED TO THAT ITEM.

THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR REPORT SECTION.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A PUBLIC WORKS REPORT TONIGHT AND SO ITEM SEVEN IS OUR LIBRARY

[7. Library Report on monthly statistics and activities.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS EVENING, THE ONE THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS, AS YOU MAY BE AWARE, WE HAVE A FULL SIZED T. REX SKELETON MODEL OF A T.

REX SKELETON GOING INTO THE NEW LIBRARY AND IT NEEDS A NAME.

SHE NEEDS A NAME.

SO WE'RE HAVING A CONTEST OR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO SUBMIT NAME

[00:15:02]

YOU CAN GO TO THE LIBRARY'S WEBSITE AND PUTTING YOUR SUGGESTIONS, AND PERHAPS YOUR SUGGESTION WILL BE THE ONE THAT'S SELECTED.

THE REASON THAT OUR T.

REX IS A SHE JUST FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING, IS BECAUSE THE FIRST COMPLETE T.

REX SKELETON EVER DUG UP WAS A SHE.

HER NAME IS SUE, BY THE WAY.

SO WE'RE PROBABLY NOT LOOKING FOR SUE AS A NAME, BUT IN ANY CASE, WE JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE CONTEST STARTS NEXT MONDAY AND IT RUNS THROUGH THE MONTH.

SO WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU AND EVERYBODY IN TOWN TO GIVE US SUGGESTIONS SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS WONDERFUL BEAST NAMED IN TIME FOR THE NEW LIBRARY.

WE'LL MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS JUST SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS NOT JUST ANY ORDINARY DINOSAUR.

DO YOU WANT TO GIVE A QUICK DEPICTION? WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HOLD SOME SECRETS BACK, BUT YOU ARE CORRECT.

IT IS NOT AN ORDINARY DINOSAUR.

THIS DINOSAUR WILL DO SOME SURPRISING THINGS.

SO I SUSPECT THIS DINOSAUR WILL END UP KIND OF BEING THE.

.. I'M SORRY, MY VOCABULARY JUST LEFT ME.

MASCOT. KIND OF THE MASCOT, THANK YOU, FOR THE LIBRARY.

SHE CAN TRACK YOU AND SHE CAN TALK TO YOU AND SO THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS AFOOT, BUT SHE IS REMARKABLE AND WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT SOME OF THE EASTER EGGS THAT WE HAVE PLANTED IN THE LIBRARY TIED TO THE DINOSAUR.

SO SHE NEEDS A NAME.

OTHER THAN THAT, THE STANDARD REPORT IS THERE WITH YOU.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DECK ON THE MEETING AREA OF THE MEETING ROOM EXPANSION TO THE NEW LIBRARY IS NOW UP AND WALLS.

THE STUDS FOR WALLS ARE GOING UP, SO PROGRESS IS MOVING ALONG AS INTENDED.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, YOU HAVE? EXPECT EVERYONE TO SUBMIT A NAME FOR THE DINOSAUR, AND IT CANNOT BE YOUR OWN.

[CHUCKLING] WHATEVER YOU WANT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

[8. Parks & Recreation report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES.

OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO START OFF THE NEW YEAR, RIGHT? AND WE HAVE TO ASK, HAVE YOU PLAYED TODAY? IF YOU HAVE NOT, THERE IS STILL TIME, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO SOMETHING FUN.

IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY YET, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO STOP ON ALL FIVE FLOORS OF CITY HALL TO SEE ART IN THE ATRIUM.

IT WILL BE UP UNTIL MARCH 1ST.

THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE 73 PIECES HUNG AND THEY BELONG TO 73 DIFFERENT ARTISTS.

SO EVERYBODY HAS REPRESENTATION OF ONE PIECE THIS TIME.

ALSO, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE TICKETS, THEME IS ENDLESS SUMMER AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

SO PLEASE DON'T WAIT.

THIS ALWAYS DOES SELL OUT, AND IT'S ALWAYS A BIG HIT.

HOW DO PEOPLE GET THOSE TICKETS? IF THEY GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO PLAY FRISCO, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET TICKETS.

THEN I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, EVEN IF YOU DON'T TYPICALLY SEE ME, I'M SORRY. SEE OR RECEIVED THE PLAY FRISCO MAGAZINE.

THIS IS A SPECIAL ISSUE FOR US.

SO YOU'LL NOTE ON THE COVER IS RICK WIELAND.

HE'S RETIRING, OF COURSE, AFTER 25 YEARS OF SERVICE AND HIS LAST DAY IS ON FRIDAY.

SO WE'RE SAD BUT HAPPY TO SEE HIM MOVE ON TO HIS NEXT BIG ADVENTURES.

IF YOU DO HAPPEN TO GET A COPY OF THE MAGAZINE OR LOOK ONLINE, YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT DIGITALLY. HE DID A VERY NICE SYNOPSIS OF I'M NOT SURE HOW HE CRAMMED TWENTY FIVE YEARS INTO THE PART OF THE PAGE WE GAVE HIM, BUT IT'S A VERY NICE RECOUNT OF HIS TIME HERE IN FRISCO. WITH THAT, THE REST OF THE REPORT IS THERE IN FRONT OF YOU.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU, SHANNON, THANK YOU.

OK, THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.

[9. 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.]

IT WAS A WELL-ATTENDED MEETING BY CITIZENS.

A LOT OF FEEDBACK AND CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. ABERNATHY AND I THINK WE'LL BE LOOKING AT AGAIN AT OUR WINTER WORK SESSION TO GET YOU GUYS UPDATED AND GET SOME ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK, BUT WE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON IT, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP, RICHARD AND JOHN.

BILLY, ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?

[00:20:01]

IT WAS A VERY ROBUST CONVERSATION.

BRIAN, YOU HANDLED THE MEETING WELL, I THOUGHT, GIVEN THE ROBUSTNESS OF THE MEETING THAT YOU YOU HANDLED THAT VERY WELL, VERY PROFESSIONALLY AND GOOD [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU. OK, THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

A MAJORITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON A SINGLE ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT.

MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD.

WE HAVE A CITIZEN WANTING TO SPEAK ON TWENTY SEVEN.

SO IF WE GET A MOTION TO PULL THAT ITEM.

MOVED. SECOND.

MOTION BY BRIAN, SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THE OTHER ITEMS. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS TEN THROUGH TWENTY SIX AND TWENTY EIGHT.

MOTION BY BILL.

SECOND. SECOND BY BRIAN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

[27. Consider and act upon rejection of all bids for the 2.5 Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tank (Bid No. 2111-027), Preston Road at PGA Parkway. (Engineering/SH)]

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON REJECTION OF ALL BIDS FOR THE TWO POINT FIVE MILLION GALLON ELEVATED STORAGE TANK. BID NUMBER 2111-027 PRESTON ROAD AT PGA PARKWAY.

GLENDA CURRY, IF YOU'D COME TO THE PODIUM AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU, I'M GLENDA CURRY.

ADDRESS IS 1665 HARMON ROAD, FORT WORTH, TEXAS, 76177.

THAT'S THE OFFICE ADDRESS.

VERY GOOD.

MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND WELCOME IN THE NEW YEAR. AS STATED, MY COMMENTS TONIGHT RELATE TO THE 2.5 MILLION GALLON ELEVATED STORAGE TANK PROPOSED FOR PRESTON ROAD AND PGA PARKWAY.

ON NOVEMBER 12TH IN GOOD FAITH, LANDMARK STRUCTURES PROVIDED A FAIR AND COMPETITIVE BID PRICE FOR THIS PROJECT, WITH THE EXPECTATION AND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY INTENDED TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT IN THE TIMEFRAME SPECIFIED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE REJECTION OF LANDMARK'S RESPONSIVE BID IS ITEM NUMBER TWENTY SEVEN ON TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA.

THIS PROPOSED CHANGE IN DIRECTION UNDERMINES THE SPIRIT OF THE COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS AND FURTHER CAUSES SPECIFIC HARM TO LANDMARK AS OUR BID PROCESS IS NOW EXPOSED IN THE MARKETPLACE BASED ON VERY LIMITED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY STAFF AND THE CONSULTING ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT.

WE UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT IS OVERBUDGET.

LANDMARK HAS IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT ARE ADDING COST TO THE PROJECT, AND WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE OVERALL PROJECT COST CAN BE VALUE ENGINEERED TO ADDRESS YOUR BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. IT'S NO SECRET THAT 2021 WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR, NOT JUST FOR FRISCO, BUT FOR OTHER ENTITIES AS WELL.

LANDMARK HAS SUCCESSFULLY WORKED WITH SEVERAL LARGE LOCAL ENTITIES DALLAS FORT WORTH, LUBBOCK, TO NAME A FEW TO BRING PROJECT COSTS INTO LINE WITH BUDGETS AND KEEP IMPORTANT PROJECTS LIKE THIS PGA PARKWAY ELEVATED TANK MOVING AHEAD WITHOUT REBIDDING.

THIS TYPE OF VALUE ENGINEERING IS COMMON IN OUR INDUSTRY.

HISTORICALLY, A REBID DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE CITY A LOWER COST AND IN LIGHT OF UNPRECEDENTED MARKET VOLATILITY ACROSS MULTIPLE COST AREAS.

INSTEAD, THERE IS INDEED A VERY HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF AN INCREASED PROJECT COST.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS REQUEST WAS PROVIDED VIA EMAIL LAST WEEK TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, TO THE CONSULTING ENGINEER, AND ALSO TO FRISCO STAFF FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION.

LANDMARK IS A LOCAL VENDOR THAT HAS WORKED SUCCESSFULLY IN THE PAST WITH FRISCO ON MULTIPLE PROJECTS.

LANDMARK'S BID WAS RESPONSIVE AND CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO THIS PROJECT.

DISCUSSIONS ON BUDGET RESOLUTIONS THUS FAR HAVE BEEN ABBREVIATED, AND WE ARE RESPECTFULLY ASKING FOR A SINCERE ENGAGEMENT FROM THE CITY AND YOUR CONSULTANT TO ALLOW US TO SHARE VALUE ENGINEERING INFORMATION THAT CAN KEEP THIS PROJECT MOVING FORWARD.

IN SUMMARY, LANDMARK IS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTING REMOVAL OF ITEM TWENTY SEVEN FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA, WHICH YOU'VE DONE TO FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES, I UNDERSTAND, BUT THIS ACTION WOULD POSTPONE THE REJECTION OF ALL BIDS AND ALLOW FOR AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF OPTIONS BETWEEN LANDMARK, THE CITY OF FRISCO AND THE CONSULTING ENGINEER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THE REMARKS AND CONSIDERATION, AND I KNOW ALL OF COUNCIL DID RECEIVE THE COMMENTS AND THE LETTER, AND WE RECEIVED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM STAFF AS WELL AS FAR AS THEIR DESIRES TO KIND OF REEVALUATE THIS PROJECT AND KIND OF IN LIGHT OF THESE

[00:25:03]

RICHARD, ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S WORTH NOTING OR? OK, COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU HAVE.

I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO ACCEPT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND REJECTION OF THE BIDS LISTED IN ITEM 27.

SECOND.

MOVED BY BILL.

SECOND BY DAN. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

[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 ON ANY SINGLE ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT.

MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD.

WE HAVE ITEM TWENTY NINE FOR CONSIDERATION.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM TWENTY NINE.

MOTION BY BILL. SECOND, BY BRIAN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THIS WILL MOVE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

[30. Public Hearing: A request to rezone 157.6± acres on the southeast corner of FM 423 and Rockhill Parkway (“Property”) from Agricultural to Planned Development-Patio Home/Townhome, to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Agricultural. Neighborhood #50. Zoning Case No. Z21-0015. Applicant: Kimley-Horn. (Development Services/JH)]

FROM AG TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PATIO HOME TOWNHOME TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 AS AMENDED AND TO CONSIDER DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

ZONED AGRICULTURAL NEIGHBORHOOD NO.

50 ZONING CASE NO.

Z21-0015 KIMLEY-HORN.

SO THE REQUEST DOES COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE PLAN FOR A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMPLIES WITH THE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS.

THE TOWNHOMES THAT'S PROPOSED IN THE AREAS WHERE YOU SEE THE DARK GRAY ON THE ZONING EXHIBIT, THERE'S BILLING ELEVATIONS FOR THOSE FIVE DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS NO TWO ARE TO BE NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER.

WE DO THIS FOR ANY TIME SOMEBODY IS PROPOSING A HIGHER DENSITY PRODUCT SIMILAR TO LIKE GRAND PARK, PARK VISTA ARE RECENT EXAMPLES.

THIS REQUEST EXCEEDS A MINIMUM 15 PERCENT OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT, HAS INTERNAL ACCESS TO THE OPEN SPACE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SIDE, AS WELL AS DIRECT ACCESS DOWN TO THE FLOODPLAIN. THE OUTCOME WILL BE DEDICATING THE FLOODPLAIN TO THE CITY.

THIS CAN BE AN EXTENSION OF THE FRISCO ON THE GREEN PARK TO THE EAST OF THE SITE.

A HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL IS SHOWN.

THIS IS REFLECTED ON THE 2015 HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL MASTER PLAN, SO IT'S IN CONFORMANCE WITH THAT, AND THE APPLICANT HAS ENTERED INTO A VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS ITEM NUMBER 16 ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT.

THE APPLICANT DID MEET WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS TO DISCUSS, AND THERE WERE GENERALLY IN SUPPORT.

WE DID MAIL OUT NOTICES TO PEOPLE AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OBJECTIONS TO THIS REQUEST.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FIVE TO ZERO.

BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY SHONA.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I THINK WE HAVE ONE CARD.

ONE CARD FOR STEVE SCHERMERHORN--WAS I CLOSE? YES. I'VE PRACTICED SINCE I GOT UP HERE.

[CHUCKLING] PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, FOR THE RECORD.

STEVE SCHERMERHORN, 8430 FAIR OAKS FRISCO, TEXAS 75033.

THE APPLICANT, JUST HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, SO APPRECIATE THE TIME.

ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING THEN MOVED CLOSE.

SECOND. MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY DAN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX YEAR PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

COUNCIL WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? I ASKED ONE QUESTION EARLIER AND I GOT THE ANSWER.

PRIOR TO THIS MEETING THE CALCULATION, I APPRECIATE YOUR DOING THAT, BUT JUST SO EVERYONE LISTENING KNOWS THIS IS ROUGHLY THE SAME DENSITY AS JUST A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT'S RIGHT, THE DENSITY ON THIS IS FOUR POINT THREE AND SINGLE FAMILY SEVEN IS AROUND FOUR POINT ONE AND SO WHAT WAS FORWARDED TO YOU IS WHAT STAFF PULLED TOGETHER SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND SO--I APPRECIATE THAT JUST BECAUSE IT'S JUST GREAT TO COMPARE BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO ALWAYS GET A GOOD FEELING FOR THAT, AND I DO APPRECIATE IT.

I THINK THE ONLY THING I'D ADD IS JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS PART OF OUR CITY, KIND OF NORTH AND NORTHWEST PART OF OUR CITY.

YOU KNOW, I JUST REALLY LOVE HOW IT WAS DEVELOPED AROUND THIS FLOODPLAIN AND USING THE TRAIL SYSTEM, IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY SPECIAL.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS ONE PLAT, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE ALL OF THE GREEN SPACE TO THE SOUTH, BUT IT REALLY KIND OF INTEGRATES INTO WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE PGA AND THE PUBLIC TRAIL.

THE FRISCO ON THE GREEN PARK NORTHWEST COMMUNITY PARK.

I MEAN, WHEN THIS WHOLE PART OF THE CITY IS GOING TO BE BUILT OUT, IT'S GOING TO BE KNOWN FOR THAT, ITS TRAIL NETWORK AND OPEN SPACE AND YOU KNOW, SO, YOU KNOW, THANKFUL FOR

[00:30:05]

SO, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 30 AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.

MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY SHONA.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

[31. Consider and act upon changing the dates of the City Council Winter Work Session currently scheduled for January 27, 2022 and January 28, 2022. (CSO/KM)]

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON CHANGING THE DATES OF THE CITY COUNCIL WHEN A WORK SESSION CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 27 AND JANUARY 28TH AND COUNCIL, I RECEIVED SOME COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE SET THOSE DATES, WE HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION FOR A COUNCIL MEMBER SEAT AND THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE HAVING THIS A DAY BEFORE THAT CITY COUNCIL ELECTION.

SO LOOK FOR YOU ALL'S PREFERENCE.

THERE IS AVAILABLE DATES FROM OUR CONSULTANT THAT HELPS US WITH THESE FOR FEBRUARY AND JUST WANTED TO GET FEEDBACK ON YOUR PLEASURE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE DATES AS IS OR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MAYBE PUSHING IT TO FEBRUARY.

SO IF THIS ELECTION GOES TO A RUNOFF, ONE IS THE RUNOFF DATE.

THE RUNOFF EARLY VOTING WOULD START MARCH 9TH THROUGH THE 22ND, AND AN ACTUAL ELECTION DAY WOULD BE MARCH 26TH.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

IT'S PROPOSED, AGAIN, I KNOW YOU SENT THEM IN THE EMAIL, BUT JUST, WELL, I'M GOING TO HAVE IT OUT ON MY CALENDAR AGAIN.

NO, SO PROPOSED RIGHT NOW.

SO THEY WON'T BE CONFIRMED UNTIL AFTER THE OTHER ELECTION IS OVER, BUT CONFIRMED WITH BOTH COUNTIES IS MARCH 9TH.

I WAS TALKING THE PROPOSED DATES OF MOVING WORK SESSION.

FEBRUARY 10TH AND 11TH, OR FEBRUARY 24TH AND 25TH ALTERNATIVE DATES.

FEBRUARY 10TH AND 11TH WORK FOR ME, THE 24TH AND 25TH DAY NOT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT MOVED OFF THE JANUARY SCHEDULE.

I AGREE WITH THAT. THEY BOTH WORK FOR ME.

THE DATES IN FEBRUARY WORK FOR ME, BUT I'M OK, LEAVING IT IN JANUARY AS WELL, SO NO PREFERENCE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

I'D PREFER FEBRUARY; FEBRUARY 10TH AND 11TH WORK FOR ME.

I NEED A MOTION.

10TH AND 11TH OF FEBRUARY IS KIND OF SOUNDS.

GO AHEAD, JOHN. SECOND.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY, LET'S MAKE THIS MORE FORMAL MOVE THAT WE MOVE OUR WINTER WORK SESSION TO FEBRUARY 10TH AND 11TH.

MOTION MY BILL. SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

[32. City Council discussion with City Staff concerning any actions required by City Staff as a result of any item on tonight's agenda.]

OBVIOUSLY, THE LAST ONE MOVING THAT WORK SESSION AND NOTIFYING OUR CONSULTANT THERE.

ANYTHING ELSE NOTED? WITH THAT, ITEM THIRTY THREE IS DISCUSSIONS ON GOVERNANCE MONITORING AND KIND OF WITH

[33. Discussion on Governance Monitoring of present City Council Meeting.]

SO GEORGE PUREFOY, WHO HAS BEEN OUR CITY MANAGER FOR THIRTY FOUR YEARS, IS THAT RIGHT? THIRTY FOUR YEARS DID INFORM US EARLIER IN THE YEARS DESIRE TO RETIRE EFFECTIVE JUNE 30TH. HE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN BURYING THAT LEAD AND INSERTING THAT IN THE RESIGNATION, THE RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NELL LANGE.

SO SOME PEOPLE KIND OF PICKED UP ON THAT AND OTHERS DIDN'T, BUT WE DID KIND OF WANT TO JUST BRING THAT ATTENTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO START THIS PROCESS, FILLING THE ENORMOUS SHOES THAT WILL BE FELT BY GEORGE PUREFOY.

SO THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE END.

SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, BUT DID WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE THAT THOSE ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE COMING OUT THIS WEEK AND FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM CITY COUNCIL WILL BE HAPPENING IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

WITH THAT, WHO HAD GOVERNANCE MONITORING? GOVERNANCE MONITORING, MONITORING TONIGHT, COUNCIL MEETING WAS PRETTY SHORT AND EFFECTIVE.

NO OVERALL GOVERNANCE ISSUES.

SO GOOD MEETING TONIGHT.

WITH THAT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

SO MOVED. MOTION BY BRIAN, SECOND BY JOHN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
