COME ON UP, SIR. I'LL READ A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU.

PASTOR [INAUDIBLE] IS THE STUDENT PASTOR AT NEW LIFE COMMUNITY CHURCH IN FRISCO UNDER SENIOR PASTOR JAMES HUTCHINS.

PASTOR [INAUDIBLE] HAS BEEN IN MINISTRY SINCE 2012 AND LOCATED TO FRISCO FROM DALLAS THREE MONTHS AGO WHEN HE STARTED WITH NEW LIFE.

INSTEAD OF PASTOR JAMES HUTCHINS, HE SENDS HIS WARMEST REGARDS TO YOU ALL.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ACQUAINTED WITH HIM, I'M SORRY.

HE IS ABSOLUTELY ECCENTRIC, BUT HE SAYS THAT HE LOVES ALL OF YOU GUYS.

THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE ME STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU AND IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE SHOWS US HOW MUCH THAT WE APPRECIATE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN FRISCO.

YOU ARE PRESENT IN THIS BUILDING, YOU ARE PRESENT IN THIS SPACE.

WE JUST ASK THAT YOU TOUCH EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS IN THIS ROOM.

>> WOW CONGRATULATIONS.

[APPLAUSE] WE LOVE CELEBRATING OUR EMPLOYEES.

WE LOVE HEARING THE STORIES OF 5,10,15 AND 20 YEARS HERE AT THE CITY OF FRISCO, BUT YOU'VE SEEN A LOT CHANGE OVER THE YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, I THINK 20 YEARS AGO YOU'RE STILL USING ADVOCATES AND PAPER I THINK TO DO THE CITY BUDGET, MAYBE I DON'T KNOW, BUT MAYBE SHARE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED, WHAT YOU'VE SEEN OVER 20 YEARS AND WHAT YOU'VE LOVED ABOUT WORKING FOR THE CITY?

>> WELL, I CAN TELL YOU WHEN I STARTED AS A TEMP AND THAT NOVEMBER WHEN I WALKED IN THE DOOR, I SAW SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO WORK FOR IN OTHER CITY AND SHE WAS LIKE, ARE YOU HERE TO HELP NEIL? I'M LIKE, YES, AND I HAD WORKED WITH NEIL AT A PRIOR CITY AND THE VERY FIRST TASK I WORKED ON HERE WAS ESTABLISHING A DOCUMENT THAT WE BELIEVE,

[00:15:04]

THAT WAS FUN. NEXT, I WORKED FOR JOHN IN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.

JOHN TOOK A CHANCE ON ME.

I THINK WE WORKED OUT REAL WELL FOR BOTH OF US.

THEN I MOVED BACK TO FINANCE AFTER A BIT AND NOW MOVED ON TO ENGINEERING.

THE BEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT WORKING FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO IS IT'S YOUR SECOND FAMILY.

IT'S ANOTHER FAMILY.

THE DIRECTORS I'VE REPORTED TO HERE EVERY LATER THAT I'VE WORKED WITH HERE HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL,AND IT SHOWS FROM THE TOP DOWN, FROM THE BOTTOM UP.

MY FAMILY AT THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SOME OF THE DARKEST AND BEST TIMES OF THE LAST 20 YEARS THAT I'VE HAD.

>> THANKS VERY MUCH.

WHO'S THIS HANDSOME COWBOY YOU BROUGHT WITH YOU.

>> THIS IS MY HUSBAND.

>> THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET A PICTURE HERE.

[APPLAUSE] YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER 20 YEARS LEFT IN YOU? [LAUGHTER].

>> YEAH.

>> THANK YOU AGAIN.

THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT.

[CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)]

>> WE DO HAVE ONE CITIZEN SIGNED OUT, JESSE RINGNESS.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

>> HELLO EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS JESSE RINGNESS.

I'VE LIVED IN FRISCO SINCE 1994.

MY ADDRESS IS ON GOOGLE LIKE EVERYONE'S, SO ANYONE THAT WANTS IT FEEL FREE. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK AND GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY AND FOR EVERYONE THAT'S IN THE COMMUNITY WATCHING AT HOME.

MAYOR CHENEY, I ENJOYED THE COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR THE OTHER DAY WHERE YOU MENTIONED THAT ONE OF FRISCO'S TOP PRIORITIES FOR 2022, IS THE NEXT BIG THING.

TYPICALLY, IN THE PAST, WHEN WE THINK OF THE NEXT BIG THING, WE THINK OF PAST GRAND BALLPARKS.

WE THINK OF EVENTS CENTERS OR WE THINK OF SPORTING ARENAS THAT HAS MADE FRISCO THE SPORT CITY USA THAT IT IS TODAY.

MY CHALLENGE FOR YOU ALL IS GOING FORWARD TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

THE NEXT BIG THING COULD BE SOMETHING AS SMALL AS AN ANIMAL SHELTER TO COORDINATE WITH FRISCO ANIMAL SERVICES, FRISCO PD, AND ENTHUSIASTIC VOLUNTEERS AND PET OWNERS.

IT'S MY EXPERIENCE THAT OFTEN THOSE WHO WELCOME PETS AS LOVED FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ALSO OFTEN THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SPEND MANY HOURS VOLUNTEERING FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

I'M SPEAKING TODAY ON BEHALF OF FRISCO PETS.

IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, MANY OF YOU ON COUNCIL HAVE MULTIPLE DOGS OR PETS YOURSELVES.

I KNOW THAT AN ANIMAL SHELTER HAS BEEN THE TOPIC OF HEATED DISCUSSION FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND THAT DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, NON-PROFITS, AND RESCUES ALIKE HAVE ALL ADVOCATED FOR A SHELTER THAT FRISCO CAN CALL HOME AND BE PROUD OF.

NOW, I'M NOT HERE ON BEHALF OF ANY OF THOSE GROUPS OR NON-PROFITS, I'M JUST HERE REPRESENTING MYSELF AND MY THREE DOGS.

HOWEVER, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT MANY PEOPLE AT HOME WATCHING ARE GOING TO AGREE WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I MAY HAVE TO SAY TONIGHT.

I BELIEVE IT'S BEYOND PAST TIME THAT FRISCO HAS ITS OWN ANIMAL SHELTER.

PETS ESCAPE ON A DAILY BASIS IN EVERY CORNER OF FRISCO COSTING MORE TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND EMPLOYEE STAFF TIME TO DRIVE FOUND PETS TO THE COLLIN COUNTY SHELTER, WHICH I BELIEVE IS IN MCKINNEY.

LET'S SEE, TO BE HOUSED UNTIL AFTER THEIR FAMILY IS FOUND, INSTEAD OF A CLOSER FACILITY FOR OUR OWN.

FRISCO IS A LEADER IN NORTH TEXAS ON MANY GREAT THINGS, BUT WE HAVE YET TO LEAD WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FURRY FRIENDS AND PET FAMILY MEMBERS.

I KNOW THERE ARE DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES, HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES TO OPERATING A SHELTER LIKE STAFFING AND MAINTAINING A SOLID VOLUNTEER BASE TO HELP IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE, I DO THINK THERE ARE DOZENS OF FRISCO RESIDENTS READY TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SPEND TIME VOLUNTEERING OR GETTING COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS TO HELP CLEAN, SETUP, WALK, AND PLAY WITH THE CATS AND DOGS AT THE FRISCO SHELTER.

AN ANIMAL SHELTER WOULD BE

[00:20:01]

I'D LIKE TO SEE A FRISCO ANIMAL SHELTER THAT GETS INVOLVED WITH LOCAL ASSISTED LIVING HOMES, NURSING HOMES, AND PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS TO NOT JUST WALK DOGS IN THE GRASS AROUND THE SHELTER, BUT ORGANIZE EVENTS WHERE A FEW WELL-BEHAVED DOGS OR KITTENS CAN BE BROUGHT TO PARTICIPATING FACILITIES TO BRING CHEER TO THOSE WHO MIGHT BE STRUGGLING TO FIND SOME DURING THESE TOUGH TIMES.

OVERALL, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT A SHELTER WOULD BE AN ADDITION TO FRISCO.

I BELIEVE A SHELTER WOULD BE AN ASSET.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT FRISCO WOULD BE A BURDEN.

ONE THING I'LL TELL THE AUDIENCE AT HOME IS THAT FRISCO IS HIRING FOR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS, SO I THINK THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO GET THOSE POSITION FILLED FIRST TO EASE THE CURRENT DEMAND AND WORKLOAD ON ANIMAL SERVICES.

BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF THOSE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS HAD A CLOSER AND WELL-ORGANIZED SHELTER TO DROP THEM OFF AT, WE COULD BE THAT LEADER.

IF YOU'RE AT HOME LISTENING AND YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU CAN APPLY TODAY TO BECOME A FRISCO ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICER WITH THE PD.

THE WEBSITE, IF YOU'LL GRAB YOUR PEN, IS GOVERNMENTJOBS.COM/CAREERS/FRISCOTEXAS/JOBS/3033833/ANIMAL-SERVICES-OFFICER.

FRISCO HAS PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT REPURPOSING AN EXISTING BUILDING AND VENTURING INTO A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ARE TWO WAYS OF FRISCO SHELTER COULD BE CREATED ON A FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE BUDGET WITH FRISCO PETS AND TAXPAYER'S WALLETS IN MIND.

I'LL LEAVE YOU TONIGHT WITH MY REMINDER OF THIS AS WE SEARCHED FOR THE NEXT BIG THING FOR FRISCO, LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX THIS YEAR.

THE NEXT BIG THING COULD BE SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A COMMUNITY ANIMAL SHELTER.

I SEE I HAVE 50 SECONDS LEFT, SO I'M GOING TO READ A LITTLE BIT MORE.

THE FRISCO ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICER POSITION ONLINE SAYS THAT IT STARTS AT $20.66, IT GOES TO 28.93 AND A LITTLE BIT OF INFO SAYS THAT THE OFFICER WILL UPHOLD THE ORDINANCES AND LAWS REGARDING ANIMAL VIOLATIONS CONTROLS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, AND RESPONSE TO COMPLAINTS IN-POUNDS ANIMALS PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO THE PUBLIC, VERIFIES VACCINATION, SETS TRAPS, AND CATCHES WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS.

TWENTY SECONDS LEFT, I'LL SAY YESTERDAY IT WAS MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY AND IT WAS ALSO THE BETTY WHITE CHALLENGE.

MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE PETS AND LOVED PETS WENT ONLINE AND SHARED PICTURES AND ALSO DONATED TO LOCAL CHARITIES.

WHEN I WENT TO THE FRISCO WEBSITE, I HAVE EIGHT SECONDS.

I WASN'T ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING LOCAL.

I DID FIND PETS LISTED.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS FOR THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE US.

OTHER AMERICAN AS WELL AS TEXAS AND WILDLIFE.

BUT I DON'T SEE LOCAL, SO I KNOW AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT IF I COULD JUST SAY MAYBE WE COULD THINK OF HAVING LOCAL SHELTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT LISTED AS WELL SO THAT WITH OUR OTHER RESOURCES FOR THE COMMUNITY BESIDES JUST STATE AND GOVERNMENT.

THANK YOU ALL.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK AND WE APPRECIATE THE JOB OPENINGS PLUG. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WHILE CITIZEN INPUT IS FOR US TO ACTUALLY RECEIVE INFORMATION, IT'S NOT FOR US TO HAVE DIALOGUE AND DEBATE SINCE IT'S NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA.

THIS IS A GOOD POINT IN TIME FOR ME TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION COMING UP IN FEBRUARY.

THIS IS OUR BIG ANNUAL WORK SESSION WHERE WE ACTUALLY BRAINSTORM OUR IDEAS FOR THE YEAR.

WE ACTUALLY WILL SET OUR TOP 10 PRIORITIES FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND SO THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR THAT WE'RE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A CITIZEN INPUT FOR US.

ANYONE THAT HAS WHAT THEY THINK OUR NEXT GREAT IDEA SHOULD BE OR BIG IDEA SHOULD BE, OR SMALL IDEA AS WELL, CITY COUNCIL DEFINITELY WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU SO WE CAN USE IT IN OUR PLANNING.

SO THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP TONIGHT AND SHARING YOUR PASSION.

ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? THAT WILL MOVE US TO

[6. Budget and Financial Status Reports for November 2021 and December 2021.]

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

I'M STANDING IN FOR ANITA TONIGHT AND I BELIEVE YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED WITH REPORTS FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER FROM FINANCE, THE BUDGET STATUS REPORTS, AND OUR SALES TAX ARE UP.

OUR PROPERTY TAXES ARE COMING IN.

WE HAD QUITE A FEW COLLECTIONS IN DECEMBER.

I GUESS YOU KNOW THEY'RE DUE IN JANUARY.

WE'RE OPERATING WELL WITHIN OUR REVISED BUDGET.

WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON IN FINANCIAL SERVICES RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE OUR EXTERNAL AUDITORS HERE AND THERE NEW THIS TIME FOR A FIVE-YEAR TERM.

THAT'S A CHALLENGE SOMETIMES.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN PAYROLL FOR W2'S, TEENY-TINY NINES, THE BOND ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING, SO WE'RE VERY BUSY IN FINANCIAL SERVICES.

I DO HAVE A LITTLE BLURB THAT GINNY HUNT WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASKED ME TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT.

IF YOU BEAR WITH ME, I'M JUST GOING TO READ IT.

THE CITY OF FRISCO, THE FISCAL YEAR 2023,

[00:25:03]

FUNDS ARE AWARDED BY THE SOCIAL SERVICE AND HOUSING BOARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL THROUGH THIS ANNUAL APPLICATION PROCESS, THE MAJORITY OF THESE FUNDS WILL BE GRANTED TO AGENCIES THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO LOW AND MODERATE-INCOME RESIDENTS.

APPLICATION SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 11TH AND MORE INFORMATION AND THE APPLICATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE CITY OF FRISCO GRANTS WEBSITE.

HAVING SAID THAT, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM.

>> WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. MOVE US TO ITEM 7,

[7. Development Services monthly activity update report for the months of November 2021 and December 2021.]

>> JUST ONE THING TO MENTION IN JANUARY, NOT JANUARY BUT DECEMBER REPORT.

ONE OF OUR BALANCED SCORECARD MEASURES ABOUT GETTING COMMENTS OUT ON PLAN REVIEW 100 PERCENT IN 10 DAYS IS DOWN TO 65 PERCENT.

WE'D BEEN DOWN TWO STAFF MEMBERS BUT WERE FILLED ONE EARLIER THIS MONTH AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE FILLED A WEEK FROM FRIDAY, SO WE'RE GETTING THOSE POSITIONS FILLED.

BUT THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS.

IT'S MADE ONE SUBMISSION IN DECEMBER WE HAD 90 WE REJECTED ABOUT 40 OF THOSE BECAUSE THERE WERE INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS, BUT IT'S BUSY IN THE DEVELOPMENT WORLD AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

>> WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 8,

[8. Visit Frisco November and December 2021 Sales and Marketing Reports.]

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

IT'S BEEN A BUSY 30 DAYS BETWEEN TWO BALL GAMES.

THEN IN JANUARY, RIGHT ON JANUARY 2ND, WE HAD A LARGE 2,800 STUDENT GROUP CHECK-IN TO THE EMBASSY AND SOME OTHER HOTELS.

AND THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

THEN WE FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH SDS, WHICH WAS REALLY A WELL-ATTENDED GAME.

SO BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE GROUPS, OUR STAFF HAS BEEN PRETTY BUSY, PLUS A BOOKING PACE IS PICKING BACK UP.

YOU PROBABLY SAW OUR CHART THAT WE DID FOR BOOKINGS AND DECEMBER AND IT WAS HUGE.

IT WAS A BIG MONTH FOR US AND THAT'S ALL FUTURE BUSINESS AND IT'S SPREAD REALLY WELL ALONG WITH SOME CORPORATE GROUPS AND SPORTS GROUPS, EDUCATION.

IT HIT ALL OF OUR MARKET SEGMENTS.

THEN THE LAST THING I WAS GOING TO SHARE IS IN 2021, WE PUT SOME MONEY ASIDE TO DO SOME INCENTIVES TO TRY AND GET SOME SHORT-TERM BUSINESS AND WE BOOKED 11 GROUPS.

I'M USING THAT INCENTIVE MONEY.

SEVEN OF THEM HAPPENED IN 2021, WHICH WAS OUR GOAL TO TRY AND DRIVE SOME BUSINESS.

WE SPENT ABOUT $6,200 AND IT GENERATED ABOUT $2 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT.

THE ROOM REVENUE WAS LIKE 30-1 RETURN ON THAT, SO WE'RE REDOING THAT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR 2022 AND JUST TRYING TO GET SOME SHORT-TERM BUSINESS BACK INTO FRISCO ON THE CORPORATE SIDE.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON MY REPORT.

>> HOPEFULLY, YOUR TEAM GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK AFTER A BUSY SPRINT IN [LAUGHTER] DECEMBER AND JANUARY.

>> I NOW TRAVEL PICKED UP AGAIN.

>> I'M SURE THAT'S NOT THE CASE THOUGH.

BUT COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?

>> I JUST WANT TO APPLAUD THE EFFORT [NOISE] YOUR TEAM PUT TOGETHER AGAIN, THE ONLY CITY IN AMERICA WITH TWO BALL GAMES PLUS SO PROUD TO HAVE THE FCS CHAMPIONSHIP HERE.

ALSO MAYOR YOU SAID THIS IN THE PAST.

I'M GOING TO STEAL THIS FROM ME BEFORE YOU THINK OF IT AGAIN, BUT THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR CITIZENS FOR BEING SO WELCOMING AND SO GENEROUS AND SO PATIENT WITH ALL OF THE TRAFFIC AND ALL THE PEOPLE AND EVERYONE'S COMING HERE SO EXCITED FOR THEIR TEAM AND THEIR OPPORTUNITY THAT YEAH, THERE'D BE ON TV AND BE ON ESPN, BE HERE IN FRISCO AND IN OUR RESTAURANTS AND IN OUR HOTELS, AND IN OUR STADIUM HERE AND EVERYONE HAS JUST BEEN REALLY GREAT AND GRACIOUS AND WELCOMING.

THAT'S WHY WE GOT A SECOND BALL GAME.

>> VERY QUICKLY [LAUGHTER].

>> VERY QUICKLY THEY TURN TO FIRST GO AND SAY, CAN YOU GUYS PULL A RABBIT OUT OF YOUR HAT? WE SAID, YES, WE CAN.

THANK YOU TOO FOR A TEAM THAT DOES THAT ALL OF OUR CITY STAFF AND AGAIN, THANKS TO OUR PARTNERS AND PARTNERSHIP FOR BEING SUCH GRACIOUS HOSTS.

>> YEAH, I DO WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT, JOHN, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP, WHICH IS, I KNOW MORREL, YOU'LL NEVER PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK, BUT YOU AND YOUR TEAM, THE FACT THAT ESPN WANTED AN EXTRA BALL GAME, IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE.

THEY HAD A WEEK TO PREPARE.

THEY HAD A COUPLE OF DAYS TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO DO IT..

WHEN THEY DECIDED THEY WANTED TO DO IT, THE CITY THEY TURNED TO WAS FRISCO, TEXAS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT DURING COVID WHEN NCAA WAS LOOKING FOR VENUES TO HOST EVENTS AND EVERYONE WAS SAYING NO,

[00:30:04]

WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT YOUR EVENT ON AND WE BECOME KNOWN AS THAT CAN-DO CITY, WHICH HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME GIVE US MORE THAN 48 HOURS NOTICE.

BUT IF ALL OF YOU GIVE US THIS 48 HOURS NOTICE, WE'RE GOING TO TURN OUT A GREAT PRODUCT AND MAKE IT A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENT-ATHLETES AND FANS AND YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

ABSOLUTELY. DELIVERED ON THAT.

IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND OUR HOTELS HERE.

THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON THESE GAMES IS TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

>> 15.5 TO BE EXACT BETWEEN THREE TEAMS.

>> I'M GOING TO JOT THAT DOWN [LAUGHTER].

WHEN PEOPLE ASK US, WHAT ARE YOU AS A CITY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP THE SMALL BUSINESSES HERE IN FRISCO? WELL, IN A THREE-GAME PERIOD, BRINGING IN $15.5 MILLION OF ECONOMIC IMPACT, FILLING OUT THE RESTAURANTS, FILLING UP OUR HOTEL SHOPPING, AND DOWNTOWN FRISCO ARE STONE WHERE OUR MALL OR THROUGHOUT FRISCO AND THE ENTIRE REGION IS ABSOLUTELY A BIG PART OF IT.

THAT'S WHY OUR 6-7 MILLION VISITORS EVERY SINGLE YEAR THAT COME THROUGH FRISCO OUR BIG PART OF OUR ECONOMIC ENGINE.

FOR US TO HAVE THIS REPUTATION WE WERE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF FLASHBACK BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THIS GAME NOW FOR OVER 10 YEARS.

THE FIRST CONTRACT, I THINK IT WAS THREE OR FOUR YEARS THAT WE SIGNED AND WE WENT INTO IT SAYING WE JUST WANT TO HOPE THAT THEY RENEW IT.

THEY COME HERE AND THEY ARE HAPPY AND THEY'LL GIVE US AT LEAST ONE RENEWAL ON THIS CONTRACT.

ALL OF THE COUNCIL, WE WERE AT THE GAME AND WE WENT AND MET WITH THE NCAA AND THEY JUST COULDN'T BE HAPPIER AS FAR AS THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF FRISCO.

SO NOT ONLY IS THIS GOING TO BE A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP, BUT OTHER EVENTS NOW FROM OTHER SPORTS TO, HEY, WE NEED TO HOST A GAME NEXT WEEK FRISCO IS GOING TO BECOME KNOWN IN THAT.

PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TAKING NOTICE.

THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ARTICLES WRITTEN HERE IN THE LAST WEEK ABOUT HOW FRISCO BECAME SUPPORT CITY USA.

I KNOW THE WASHINGTON POST CALLED ME FOR THEIR ARTICLE.

THEY'RE LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.

HOW DID YOU ALL DO THIS? THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS WE JUST SAY YES.

WE FIND WAYS TO SAY YES AND KUDOS TO YOU KUDOS TO YOUR TEAM. WELL DONE.

>> THANK YOU. COULDN'T DO WITHOUT OUR PARTNERS.

OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART OF ALL OF THAT, AND THEN WE'VE GOT ANOTHER EVENT.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, AN E-SPORTS EVENT COMING SOON.

>> ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> TAKE US TO ITEM 9, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT, CHIEF TOP-DOWN ONE.

[9. Fire Department monthly reports on incident responses and educational activities for the months of November and December 2021.]

>> THAT WAS GOOD, DEFER TO CD, I THINK AFTER THAT.

THANKS, MAYOR OF THE COUNCIL. I APPRECIATE IT.

JUST RECOGNITIONS.

TONIGHT. ANYWAY, KING AND BREWER, JEREMY BREWER, AND LAUREN TIP IT ALL HAD PASSED A SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL RECOGNITION FROM MY CONGRESSMAN VAN TAYLOR.

THESE THREE FIREFIGHTERS WENT TO PARAMEDIC SCHOOL FOR SEVEN MONTHS AND THEY CAME BACK TO US AS PARAMEDICS ARE REALLY PROUD OF THEM AND APPRECIATE ALL THAT THEY'VE DONE THERE.

LOOKING BACK A LITTLE BIT DECEMBER IS A LONG TIME AGO.

WE JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH DEBBIE, FAA, AND PETE DELICATE 1,500 INDIVIDUAL GIFTS WERE DONATED BETWEEN THE DRIVE-THROUGH AND THE DROP-OFF AT OUR FIRE STAGE.

THAT'S 1,500 GIFTS THAT WERE GIVEN TO CHILDREN THAT WOULD NOT HAVE MAYBE NOT HAD A GIFT DURING CHRISTMAS.

SO JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THAT PARTNERSHIP.

WE HAD ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DONATED, 20-YEAR RECOGNITIONS.

APPRECIATE GEORGE AND HENRY COMING BY TO OUR SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR DEPUTY CHIEF, CLAY CARPENTER, CAPTAIN BRIAN MCCLOSKEY, AND LIEUTENANT KELLY WALTHALL CAME BY THE OTHER DAY AND VISITED WITH US MAYOR, YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO SEE THEM ON FRIDAY DURING THE AWARD LUNCHEON, IT'S A SPECIAL GIFT THAT GEORGIA HENRY BROUGHT BY TO THEM.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

THIS MONTH, THE FIRST WEEK IN FEBRUARY, I SHOULD SAY, IS BURN AWARENESS WEEK.

OVER ONE MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER BURNS THAT NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION EACH YEAR.

A LOT OF THESE BURNS OCCUR IN COOKING.

BE CAREFUL AROUND THE STOVE, EXCESS CLOTHING, NEVER LEAVE FOOD UNATTENDED AND ALSO WATCH FOR SPLATTERS AND ALSO WATCH WHEN CHILDREN ARE AROUND THE STOVE, THESE BURNS WILL ALL TIMES CAN BE PREVENTED.

OBVIOUSLY, WE TELL PEOPLE IF YOU DO HAVE A FIRE ON THE STOVE, PUT A LID ON IT.

DON'T EVER TRY TO PICK IT UP AND CARRY IT.

DON'T EVER DO THAT. PUT A LID ON IT AND SO THAT WILL GO OUT.

SO THAT'S THE FIRST WEEK IN FEBRUARY.

I KNOW THE OTHER AWARENESS IS THE AMERICAN HEART MONTH IS THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.

WE TEACH HANDS-ONLY CPR AND TEACH THE COMMUNITIES HOW TO DO CPR OR ELSE WE'LL HAVE OUR PULSE POINT APP THAT PEOPLE CAN SIGN UP FOR FRISCOFIRE.COM.

IT'S ALL PART OF A HEALTHY HEART COMMUNITY AND ALSO AMERICAN HEART MONTH.

SO JUST SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE'RE DOING COMING UP IN FEBRUARY.

SO BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE REPORT.

>> THANK YOU, CHIEF. THAT'S ALL.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JUST TO RECAP A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST MONTH.

OF COURSE, YESTERDAY WE HONORED THE LIFE OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING AND WE KICKED OFF MLK WEEKEND BY HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MLK ORATION CONTEST.

THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER PELHAM, FOR ALLOWING US TO BE A SPONSOR FOR THAT EVENT AND TAKE PART.

IT TRULY IS AN OUTSTANDING EVENT AND GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL STUDENTS HERE IN FRISCO.

IN ADDITION, BACK IN DECEMBER, WE HAD A PROMOTION AND SWEARING IN CEREMONY.

WE WANT TO BE A DEPARTMENT THAT'S A CAREER DESTINATION, JUST LIKE WE HAVE EVENTS THAT COME AND WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT BACK IN DECEMBER.

WE REALLY DELIVER ON BEING A DEPARTMENT OF OPPORTUNITY BOTH FOR SWORN AND CIVILIAN POSITIONS.

I APPRECIATE THE PLUG EARLIER AS WELL FOR SOME OF THE OPEN POSITIONS WE HAVE IN ANIMAL SERVICES, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ANIMAL SERVICES WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER OPEN POSITIONS.

WE DID A CIVILIAN PROMOTION AND A PROMOTION TO CORPORAL, AND THEN WE SWORE IN 11 NEW MEMBERS TO OUR DEPARTMENT WITH VARYING EXPERIENCE.

SOME BRAND NEW, SOME FROM OTHER TEXAS AGENCIES, AND THEN SOME FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OUTSIDE OF OUR STATE.

WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM HERE, EXCITED TO GET THEM TO WORK, AND HAPPY THAT THEY CHOSE OUR DEPARTMENT TO SERVE IN WHAT I CONSIDER THE BEST COMMUNITY IN THE NATION.

WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR DECEMBER CRIME REPORT.
