THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. THANK YOU TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY EMPLOYEES FOR YOUR EFFORT AND HARD WORK. BEHALF OF OUR WONDERFUL CITY, OF WHICH I'M VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF. THANK YOU TO ALL THE CITIZENS THAT ARE HERE TODAY CAME TO SHARE YOUR VOICE AND PARTICIPATE IN TODAY'S MEETING. WE'RE GOING TO GUESS THAT IN A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, ONE THAT YOU'VE JUST CAME FROM, NOT EVERYBODY AGREES ON EVERYTHING. IS THAT TRUE? I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A JEWISH WISDOM AND THE TEACHING FROM SOMETHING CALLED THE MISHNAH REGARDING PRODUCTIVE DISPUTE. THIS COMES FROM SOMETHING CALLED PIRKEI AVOT ETHICS OF OUR FATHERS, CHAPTER 5 MISHNAH, LITTLE SECTION 17 READS AS FOLLOWS. "ANY DISPUTE THAT IS FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN IS DESTINED TO ENDURE. ONE THAT IS NOT FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN, IS NOT DESTINED TO ENDURE, WHICH IS A DISPUTE FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN. A DISPUTE BETWEEN TWO FAMOUS RABBIS CALLED HILLEL AND SHAMMY, WHICH IS A DISPUTE THAT IS NOT FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN. THIS IS A DISPUTE OF A BIBLICAL CHARACTER CALLED CORA AND HIS COMPANY. WHEN WE DISAGREE OR WE ARGUE, BUT IT IS FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN. THAT IS AN ARGUMENT. HOW TO MAKE OUR PORTION OF THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, A SAFER PLACE AND MORE GUARDED PLACE. THIS IS AN ARGUMENT THAT WOULD LEAD TO RESULTS. IF HOWEVER, WE ARGUE TO PROTECT OUR OWN EGO OR WE DISAGREE TO FURTHER OUR OWN PERSONAL CAREER AND AMBITION. THIS IS AN ARGUMENT OF CORA AND HIS COMPANY, WHICH WILL NOT BRING US THROUGH RESOLUTIONS AND RESULTS. I PRAY, MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, GIVE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO OUR CITY LEADERS. [00:05:03] FILL THEM WITH HUMILITY THAT THEIR MEETINGS AND DECISIONS WILL YIELD RESULTS THAT ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL FRISCO CITIZENS AFTER THE SANCTIFICATION OF YOUR NAME. MASTER OF THE WORLD, PLEASE KEEP ALL OF FRISCO SAFE AND HEALTHY. LET THERE BE FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE BETWEEN PEOPLE. MAY FRISCO BE A SHINING EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE WORKING TOWARDS A GOAL THAT IS GREATER THAN THEMSELVES, AND HOW THIS GOAL BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. WANT TO CONCLUDE WITH A SHORT HEBREW PRAYER [FOREIGN] THAT TRANSLATES AS "HE WHO MAKES PIECE ON HIGH, MAY HE BRING PEACE UPON ALL OF US AND UPON ALL OF MANKIND. LET US SAY, AMEN. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, OUR PLEDGES TONIGHT WILL BE LED BY A SCOUT, TROOP 51. [PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE] IF YOU GUYS WANT TO COME ON UP ON OUR STAGE, THE FLAGS ARE LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND US. >> YOU COME UP HERE. >> >> STAY RIGHT THERE REAL QUICK. I KNOW YOU ALL HANG OUT. Y'ALL DON'T GET OFF THE HOOK THAT EASY. WELCOME, REAL QUICKLY HERE YOU ALL CAN FACE THE AUDIENCE AND EVERYONE LIVE STREAMING YOU ON TV. HERE IN THE FIRST FEW ROWS WE ACTUALLY HAVE OUR MARRIAGE YOUTH COUNCIL. SOME JUNIORS AND SENIORS THROUGHOUT FRISCO AND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US A REALLY GREAT PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT THEY THINK SHOULD HAPPEN IN GRAND PARK, I BELIEVE, IS THAT RIGHT? FROM A TEAM'S PERSPECTIVE. GETTING THE YOUTH PERSPECTIVE IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US AS FAR AS DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES, BECAUSE AS PARENTS DON'T HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT. BUT I WOULD LOVE FOR EACH OF YOU TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS FAR AS SAY YOUR NAME, YOUR SCHOOL, YOUR AGE. THEN I WANT YOU TO KIND OF TELL US WHAT YOU HOPE IS IN GRAND PARK. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF GRAND PARK, IT'S A HUGE PARK IN THE CENTER PART OF OUR CITY.

ONE THING I HOPE TO SEEING GRAND PARK IS DEFINITELY MORE TRAILS SO WE CAN GO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE OUT THERE AND JUST HAVE FUN. >> MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] I GO TO NICHOLS ELEMENTARY AND I AM 11 YEARS OLD. I ALSO HOPE FROM MORE TRAIL SO WE COULD SEE WHAT'S NEW. >> HI, I'M LUCAS [INAUDIBLE] I GO TO IOWA IUNIVERSITY PREP.

[LAUGHTER] >> MY NAME IS TUCKER AND I GO TO [INAUDIBLE] ELEMENTARY. I'M 11 YEARS OLD.

MANY IN FRISCO WILL EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF BICYCLING THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, RACES, COMMUTING EVENTS, TRAIL WORKDAYS, HELMET PROMOTION. CHARITY EVENTS ARE JUST GETTING OUT AND GOING FOR A RIDE. WHEREAS RIDES AND CYCLING EVENTS ARE HOSTED IN FRISCO YEAR-ROUND, INCLUDING EVENTS AT THE NORTHWEST COMMUNITY MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL, AND MANY OTHERS THAT ATTRACT CYCLISTS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY EACH YEAR. THESE ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL TO POSITIVELY IMPACT FRISCO'S ECONOMY IN TOURISM, BY MAKING THE CITY ATTRACTIVE TO BUSINESSES AND CITIZENS WHO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. WHEREAS THE MONTH OF MAY HAS BEEN DECLARED NATIONAL BIKE MONTH EACH YEAR SINCE 1956, AND IS SO AGAIN IN 2022, THROUGHOUT THE CITY AREA BIKE CLUBS, THE FRISCO PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT. THE FRISCO BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE WILL PROMOTE BICYCLING, BOTH AS A LEISURE ACTIVITY IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO THE AUTOMOBILE. WHEREAS EDUCATING BICYCLISTS, AND MOTORISTS ON PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION OF BIKES IS KEY TO ENSURING THE SAFETY AND COMFORT FOR ALL BIKE TEXAS SHAWNEE TRAIL CYCLE CLUB, FRISCO CYCLING CLUB, PRESS ENTER BRIDGE CYCLING COMMUNITY, FRISCO TROUT AND LINK CLUB, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE CITY WILL PROMOTE BICYCLE SAFETY DURING THE BIKE MONTH. THEREFORE, IGF CHANGING WHERE THE CITY OF FRISCO, DO HEREBY RECOGNIZE THE MONTH OF MAY AS NATIONAL BIKE MONTH AND DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MAY 4TH, 2022, AS BIKE AND ROLL TO SCHOOL DAY, AND THE WEEK OF MAY 16TH THROUGH 2022, AS FRISCO BIKE WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW WHO KNEW THAT WE HAD A BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, BUT WE MEET ONCE A MONTH. WHO ELSE, WE GOT COUNCILMAN, LOTS OF STUFF GOING ON, FAMILY RIDES THIS SATURDAY. >> [BACKGROUND] >>IF YOU DO MISS. >> LET'S GO ISD. >> MY GOSH. LET'S GO ISD, THE HYMN WITH A MICROPHONE OF THEM.

I APPRECIATE YOU. >> [BACKGROUND]. >> 2012, WE GOT SOME DONATIONS, OF WHAT PART OF THEM APPEAR TODAY. >> [BACKGROUND] >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO BRING ALL [INAUDIBLE] [BACKGROUND]. >> [INAUDIBLE] >> YEAH. WE STARTED RIDES LAST YEAR. SOME OF THEM [INAUDIBLE] ON MAIN STREET, [BACKGROUND] HAD NO PLACE TO PUT BIKES. THESE ARE GOING TO BE INSTALLED. ROBERT TELLS ME HE'S GOING TO GET THESE INSTALLED UP RIGHT NEXT TO SUMMER MOON, BUT. >> NICE. I LOVE IT. >> WHEN THEY START WORKING ON THE STREET, STILL TAKE IT DOWN AND MOVE IT. BUT NICE LITTLE COFFEE WITH STEAM [LAUGHTER] COMING OUT. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT [NOISE] THESE THINGS ARE, THESE ARE ALL OVER THE CITY OF FRISCO, PRETTY MUCH ALL OVER NORTH TEXAS. THESE ARE REPAIR STANDS. THE CABLES YOU SEE GOING DOWN HAVE EIGHT OR 12 TOOLS. THERE'S ALSO A PUMP THAT GOES WITH THIS. EVERY FIRE STATION HAS ONE NOW, AND THIS IS ALSO GOING TO GO UP ON MAIN STREET. THE TWO BIKE RACKS YOU SEE IN THE BARRIER. [INAUDIBLE] IT WAS WITH US YOU NOTICE WHAT BUILDING THESE THREE AFTERWARDS, OUR VERY FIRST DONATION ARE IDENTICAL TO THAT EXCEPT THEY'RE GOING FROM A NEW RECORD, ALONG WITH THE PERSON. >> VERY NICE, >> MAYBE A SECOND [INAUDIBLE]. >> WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS. JUST THANK THEM FOR THEIR WORK AND EFFORTS. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. IN OUR NEXT PROCLAMATION IS TAIWANESE AMERICAN HERITAGE WEEK. [5. Taiwanese American Heritage Week] >> COME UP AND JOIN ME. >> [NOISE] WELCOME. YOU. >> WHEREAS AMERICA HAS BECOME RENEWED AND ENRICHED BY THE MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO COME HERE AND BECOME OUR FELLOW CITIZENS, EACH BRINGING A PART OF HIS OR HER OWN HERITAGE, WHICH OVER TIME BECOMES PART OF OUR COMMON HERITAGE, AND WHEREAS GENERATIONS OF ASIAN-AMERICANS HAVE HELPED MAKE AMERICA WHAT IT IS TODAY. THERE ARE MORE THAN 500,000 TAIWANESE AMERICANS IN THE UNITED STATES WITH A SIGNIFICANT TAIWANESE AMERICAN POPULATION IN TEXAS. TAIWANESE AMERICANS HAVE SUCCEEDED AS NOTABLE ARTIST, NOBEL LAUREATE SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, AND BUSINESS LEADERS, AND THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE DIVERSITY AND PROSPERITY OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY. WHEREAS TAIWAN AND THE UNITED STATES SHARE A COMMON COMMITMENT TO THE IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, AND HUMAN RIGHTS, THIS YEAR MARKS THE 43RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE ENACTMENT INTO LAW OF THE 1979 TAIWANESE RELATIONS ACT WHICH TOGETHER WITH THE 1982 SIX ASSURANCES, FORMS THE CORNERSTONE OF US-TAIWAN RELATIONS. WHEREAS UNITED STATES PROVIDES TAIWAN SAFETY AND SECURITY, GUARANTEES TO TALK TAIWAN FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ITS DEMOCRACY, AND DUE TO AMERICAN SUPPORT, TAIWAN'S VOICES HEARD WHILE IT STRIVES FOR PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND THE UNITED NATIONS. WHEREAS THIS WEEK RECOGNIZES THE LONGSTANDING FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND TAIWAN, DURING THIS SPECIAL WEEK, TAIWANESE AMERICANS ARE ABLE TO EMBRACE AMERICAN'S DIVERSITY AND CELEBRATE THE SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY THAT BINDS US TOGETHER AS ONE NATION. NOW THEREFORE, I JEFF CHENEY MAYOR THE CITY OF FRISCO DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MAY 8TH-MAY 15TH, 2022 AS TAIWANESE AMERICAN HERITAGE WEEK. LET'S GIVE THEM SOME LOUD SUPPORT. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS? >> MY NAME IS DR. JOAN SHEA. I CAME TO US FROM TAIWAN IN 1964. I CAME TO FRISCO IN 2007 AND THEN I QUICKLY REGISTERED WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS THE BROCK CAPTAIN. THEN IN 2015, DURING THE 50 YEARS ANNIVERSARY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, I SPENT SOME HOURS SEEING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND I ALSO WAS IN [00:20:03] THE CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY IN 2000, I THINK, AND IT'S EXCELLENT PROGRAM, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO ATTEND THAT. UNTIL I FINISH THE 12 WEEKS PROGRAM, THE SUB DISTRICT CONGRESSMEN, VENTERA PRESENT ME A SPECIAL RECOGNITION, SOME CERTIFICATE TO HONOR ME TO FINISH THAT PROGRAM. ANYWAY, FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO, ON BEHALF OF THE [INAUDIBLE] IN THE CITY TO EXPRESS OUR MOST SINCERE APPRECIATION TO CITY COUNCIL, ESPECIALLY THE MAYOR AND THEN ALSO HOLLY MCCALL, ALL THIS EFFORT TO MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN, WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN THE FRISCO CITY. AS I SAY, WE MOVED TO FRISCO IN 2007, AND WHY WE MOVED TO FRISCO. FRISCO IS JUST A WONDERFUL CITY BECAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL ALL HAVE A FORESIGHT TO PLAN ANYTHING AHEAD AND ALSO TO ATTRACT THE BUSINESS TO HERE AND ALSO ANTICIPATE THE GROWTH OF THE POPULATION AND THEN PLAN ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE AHEAD OF THE TIME. WITH EACH YEAR, THE POPULATION SHOOT UP FROM 1990 TO NOW IT'S LIKE ALMOST, I THINK 237,000 [BACKGROUND], BUT ALL DURING THAT GROWTH, WE DON'T REALLY FEEL IN OUR LIVING SOMEHOW, THAT HIT ME IN A BIG IMPACT, BECAUSE OF THE FORESIGHT OR THE PLANNING OF THE CITY AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE. I THINK I FEEL LIKE LIVING IN FRISCO WOULD HELP IN LIFE EXPECTANCY LONGER, YOU LIVE LONGER, THAT'S MY MESSAGE. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] >> I THINK MYSELF AND THE REST OF COUNCIL, WE'RE GOING TO CLAIM THAT ON A FUTURE POLITICAL MAILER [LAUGHTER] ONE QUICK QUESTION, DID YOU LIKE THE POLICE ACADEMY OR THE FIRE ACADEMY BETTER BECAUSE THEY'RE WAY COMPETITIVE? [LAUGHTER] YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT. [LAUGHTER] GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. [APPLAUSE]. [6. Mayor's Youth Council Project Presentation and Recognition.] >> NOW WE GET TO HEAR FROM OUR MAYORS YOUTH COUNCIL. NOT READY? [00:25:05] >> FRISCO IS SPENDING OVER $20 MILLION TO CREATE GRAND PARK AND OVER 1000 ACRE DEVELOPMENT BIGGER THAN CENTRAL PARK. THE FRISCO MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL DECIDED TO SURVEY THE TEENS OF FRISCO TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN GRAND PARK. WE SURVEYED TO TEENAGERS IN THE FRISCO AREA, AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET 1808 RESPONSES FROM THE SPANNING 12 HIGH SCHOOLS. TO ENSURE THAT ALL RESPONSES WERE FROM FRISCO RESIDENTS, WE ASKED THE RESPONDENTS TO STATE THEIR ZIP CODE. FROM OUR SURVEY, WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT AMENITIES WE BELIEVE SHOULD BE ADDED TO GRAND PARK IN ORDER TO ATTRACT TEENAGERS. >> ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS WE STARTED OFF BY ASKING WAS HOW MUCH TIME FRISCO RESIDENTS AND FRISCO TEENS IN PARTICULAR SPEND IN PARKS PER WEEK. WE FOUND IT REALLY PRESSING THAT 44 PERCENT, THE LARGEST POPULATION SEGMENT, SPENT LESS THAN AN HOUR OF WEEK. THE SECOND LARGEST SEGMENTS SPENT LESS THAN TWO HOURS A WEEK, 23.7 PERCENT. IN ONE WAY, WE CAN INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT TEENS ARE SPENDING AT PARKS OR BY BETTER CURATING OUR PARKS TO OUR NEEDS AND INTERESTS. WITH THAT, WITH MORE TEENS SPENDING MORE TIME AT PARKS, YOU HAVE PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS IN THAT, THE MORE PEOPLE THAT GO AND VISIT PARKS ON THE WAY THEY STOP AT RESTAURANTS, SMALL BUSINESSES SPEND MONEY AND SPUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN OUR SURVEY BESIDES FROM CHECKING HOW MUCH TIME OUR TEENS SPEND AT PARKS, WE ALSO ASKED THEM FOR INPUT ON WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN OUR PARKS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WAS START OFF BY COMPARING THE TEEN SURVEY RESULTS TO THE SURVEY SENT PARTICULARLY TO ADULTS BY PLAY FRISCO A FEW MONTHS AGO. ONE OF THE FIRST CATEGORIES WE LOOKED AT WAS ROCK CLIMBING, FOR EXAMPLE, AND IN SOME CATEGORIES LIKE ROCK CLIMBING, THE AMOUNT OF PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO SEE THE ACTIVITY IN TEENS WAS SIMILAR SO ADULT. BUT IN A LOT OF OTHER ACTIVITIES THERE WERE STRONG DIFFERENCES [LAUGHTER] SUCH AS ZIP LINING WHERE WE HAVE 52.3 PERCENT AND 19 PERCENT. SAME WITH BIKING WHERE WE HAVE A SHARP DISPARITY BETWEEN WHAT TEENS WANT, AND WHAT ADULTS WANT. NOW THIS ISN'T TO GO AND SHOW THAT ONE IS RIGHT OVER THE OTHER BUT RATHER TO ILLUSTRATE THE POINT THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SURVEY DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION, TEENS IN PARTICULAR, SO THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO CURATE THE PARKS TO THE NEEDS OF EVERYONE AND NOT JUST HAVE A LIMITED RANGE OF [NOISE] SURVEY DATA. ANOTHER SECTION WE HAD IN OUR SURVEY WAS WHAT ADDITIONAL COMMENTS PEOPLE HAD OPTIONS THAT WEREN'T GIVEN THAT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED HERE. A LOT OF THE ADULTS WANTED PICKLEBALL COURTS OR BIKING TRAILS, WHILE TEENS WERE MORE FOCUSED ON BASKETBALL COURTS AND SKATE PARKS. AGAIN, THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSIDERING TEEN INPUT WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING DATA AND ANALYZING THE NEEDS OF THE CITY. WHEN MOST OF OUR TEENS IN THE CITY, THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING TO STAY HERE FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS AND GO OUT AND LEAVE. WE HAVE MORE AND MORE TEENS STAYING IN THE DALLAS METROPLEX FOR COLLEGE, COMING BACK AFTER COLLEGE SAN FRISCO IS GROWING SO WELL. MANY OF THE TEENS WE SURVEYED ARE GOING TO STAY HERE FOR 3-4 YEARS. IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT AS THESE WILL BE THE FUTURE RESIDENTS AND LEADERS OF FRISCO. [NOISE] >> WHEN ANALYZING THE DATA FROM OUR OWN SURVEYS THAT ASK TEENAGERS IN FRISCO WHAT THEY WANTED TO BE ADDED TO THEIR CITY, THERE WERE THREE MAIN RESPONSES THAT DOMINATED THE SURVEY. IN FACT, THESE ADDITIONS WOULD ALLOW FOR INCREASED BENEFITS FOR ALL AGES, NOT JUST TEENS. WITH 63.9 PERCENT OF TEENS WANTING THIS FOOD TRUCKS ARE A GREAT WAY TO NOT ONLY BRING TEAMS TOGETHER FROM ALL OVER THE FRISCO COMMUNITY, BUT PARENTS, FAMILIES, YOUNG CHILDREN, AND SENIORS. WITH PEOPLE SPENDING MORE OF THEIR TIME AND MONEY AT PARKS, THEY NO LONGER HAVE TO LEAVE TO GO TO RESTAURANTS THAT MAY BE OUTSIDE OF FRISCO. THUS, THIS LEADS TO THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF FRISCO ITSELF, THROUGH GREATER SALES TAX REVENUE. THE SECOND MOST POPULAR CHOICE WAS ZIP LINING, WITH 52.3 PERCENT OF TEENS WANTING THIS ADDITION TO THE CITY OF FRISCO. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY BE SEEN AS JUST A SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT, ZIP LINING ALLOWS FOR TEENS TO INCREASE THEIR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN AN ENGAGING WAY THAT APPEALS THE YOUNGER GENERATION. FRISCO RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH IN A FUN WAY. ALONG WITH THIS ZIP LINING WILL ATTRACT TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER TEXAS, WHICH FURTHER LEADS TO ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH GREATER SALES TAX REVENUE AS BEFORE MENTIONED. [00:30:01] LASTLY, THE THIRD MOST POPULAR WAS LIVE MUSIC VENUES, WITH 47.2 PERCENT OF TEENS WANTING THIS ADDITION TO FRISCO. THE ARTS HAVE PROVEN TO LEAD TO BUSINESS RELOCATION AND GROWTH, SO ADDING MORE MUSIC VENUES COULD DO THE SAME FOR OUR CITY. PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF FRISCO MAY COME INTO FRISCO TO HELP OUT LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT DO RUN THESE LIVE MUSIC EVENTS, INCREASING ENGAGEMENT AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY. OF COURSE, MOST PEOPLE LIKE TO SPEND TIME OUTSIDE, PARTICULARLY IN PARKS. ADDING MUSIC WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO AID IN THAT AND ALLOW FRISCO RESIDENTS TO CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIMILAR INTERESTS. [NOISE] >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO YOUTHS TODAY. I THINK IT'S OBVIOUSLY AS MY OTHER CO-MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SAID, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION JUST WHAT YOUTH WANT. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT YOUNG PEOPLE NOT ONLY LIVE IN OUR CITY RIGHT NOW, BUT WILL BE LIVING IN FRISCO FOR A VERY LONG TIME. WE SUGGEST THAT THE CITY TAKE FEEDBACK FROM YOUTH SEMI-ANNUALLY THROUGH SURVEYS. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THAT ALMOST 2,000 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM EVERY FRISCO HIGH-SCHOOL RESPONDED TO THIS SURVEY. I REALLY HOPE THAT THE CITY CONTINUES THAT STREAK OF LISTENING TO YOUTH, JUST AS YOU GUYS ARE DOING RIGHT NOW WITH LISTENING TO THE MAYORS YOUTH COUNCIL. I WOULD ALSO HOPE THAT THE CITY GOES TO THE NEXT STEP AND ENGAGES YOU THROUGH GIVING US A SEAT AT THE TABLE DURING COMMISSION MEETINGS, COMMITTEE MEETINGS, I THINK WE OFFER A LOT OF PERSPECTIVE THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL AS WELL. IT'S GREAT THAT WE CAN FINALLY GIVE OUR FEEDBACK AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN GRAND PARK. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY FOR THE CITY TO GET TO THIS POINT. I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT JUST THE HISTORY THAT HAS LED US TO THIS POINT, SPECIFICALLY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. STARTING WITH THE '60S, WHEN WE LEARNED THAT THE CREEK WAS LINED WITH SLAG, THE EPA AND THE TCEQ HAVE BOTH INSPECTED AND GIVEN US THEIR REPORTS ON WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE FINALLY GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THE CITY IS READY TO THIS FALSE START WITH THE TRAILS. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THAT BACKGROUND BEFORE I TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE WITH ACKNOWLEDGING THE HISTORY AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY OF GRAND PARK. THERE WERE SO MANY FRISCO RESIDENTS THAT WERE SPEARHEADING THE EFFORT FOR CITY OWNERSHIP AND FOR CLEANUP OF THE LAND THAT GRAND PARK SITS ON. I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE RECOGNITION OF THOSE RESIDENTS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY GROUPS LIKE FRISCO AND LET IT IN OTHER LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS THAT WERE WORKING SO HARD TO GET GRAND PARK TO WHERE IT IS TODAY AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SAFE FOR ALL FAMILIES TO ENJOY. WE ALSO WANT TO SEE THE HISTORY OF THE LAND THAT GRAND PARK SITS ON IS HONORED. I THINK A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT IS BY PRIORITIZING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT THAT PARK. I ALSO KNOW THAT JUST SPEAKING WITH SHANNON COATES, IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR THAT THE CITY DOES WANT TO BUILD A NATURE EDUCATION CENTER, AND I THINK GRAND PARK IS THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE THAT. IT GOES INTO OUR THIRD ONE, WHICH IS CREATING SOME TYPE OF EDUCATIONAL SIGN, LANDMARK, OR PROGRAMMING FOR THE COMMUNITY. JUST THAT WE CAN HIGHLIGHT THESE EFFORTS FOR CLEAN AIR AND CLEAN WATER AND FIRST GO IN THE GREATER TFW AREA. WE CAN EVEN GO FURTHER AND EVEN HIGHLIGHT THE CONSERVATION EFFORTS AND PLUG OUR RESIDENTS IN TO CONSERVATION EFFORTS FOR THE BLACK WIN PRIMARIES, WHICH DOES EXTEND INTO THE EASTERN PART OF DENTON COUNTY. THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US TO DO THAT. THERE'S A LOT THAT WE CAN DO WITH SUSTAINABILITY AT THIS PARK, AND THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS THAT THE CITY STANDS TO BENEFIT FROM PRIORITIZING SUSTAINABILITY. FIRST IS WITH BUSINESSES ATTRACTED TO THE SUSTAINABILITY, ESPECIALLY INCREASINGLY TODAY. THE UN RECENTLY REALLY SUPPORT THAT SHOWS HOW SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT ONLY PROFITABLE, BUT IT IS A MOVE THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND CORPORATIONS NEED TO MAKE NOW. I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ALSO MAKE IT AN ATTRACTION FOR PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO ENJOY. THERE'S NOT MANY PLACES WHERE WE THINK OF A PARK OR WHERE WE THINK OF LANDMARK AND WE THINK OF SUSTAINABILITY. THAT COMES TO OUR MIND, SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US [00:35:03] TO DRAW IN EVEN A MORE INTERNATIONAL CROWD. ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE ARBORETUM, WHICH I KNOW IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT THE CITY IS CONSIDERING HAVING A GRAND PARK. THAT'S ANOTHER THING AS BRINGING IN TOURISM AND ATTRACTION, AND THIS ALSO WOULD HELP THE CITY BE INNOVATIVE AND HELP US MAKE THAT FIRST STEP. WE CAN BE THE FIRST TO BUILD A PARK OF THIS KIND THAT FOCUSES ON SUSTAINABILITY, THAT IS MADE UP OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS. I THINK IT IS THE MORAL THING TO DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I DO THINK THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WANT TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY TAKING THAT STEP FORWARD AND BEING INNOVATIVE IN THAT WAY. I THINK OUR FUTURE WITH GRAND PARK IS VERY BRIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS LONG HISTORY WITH XITE. I THINK THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR WHAT WE CAN DO HERE, AND I AM REALLY EXCITED AND VERY HONORED THAT THE MAYORS YOUTH COUNCIL CAN PRESENT ON THIS. I DO HOPE THAT THE SUSTAINABILITY PART OF IT IS A PRIORITY FOR THE CITY. >> THE FINAL THING WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS IN TERMS OF GRAND PARK IS THAT OUR COUNCIL'S SUGGESTION IS TO HAVE MORE ATTENTION GRABBING MORE EVENTS THAT BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AT THE PARK, SIMILAR TO FROSTY 5K. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS AT GEORGIA TECH AND I SAW THAT STUDENTS BUILT THE WORLD'S LARGEST HOPSCOTCH IN GEORGIA TECH. THEY SPENT LESS THAN $5,000 TO DO IT. IT WAS FOUR MILES LONG AND DOING SO BROUGHT IN TOURISTS. IT GOT GEORGIA TECH, A LOT OF PRESS, DOZENS AND DOZENS OF NEWS ARTICLES. SIMILARLY IN UCLA AND A COUPLE TALENTS IN CANADA, THEY HAVE A VERY SMALLER VERSION OF FRISCO FAIR, FOR EXAMPLE, CARNIVAL. BUT WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THE CARNIVAL IS THAT IT IS POWERED ENTIRELY BY SOLAR, WIND, OR RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND PLAYS A LARGE ROLE IN EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THESE RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND SUSTAINABILITY. OUR SUGGESTION IS TO HOLD MORE EVENTS LIKE THESE, WHETHER IT'D BE, SUSTAINABLE OR THE HOPSCOTCH EVENTS OF THIS NATURE THAT BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND ARE ABLE TO DRAW ATTENTION, BRINGING A LOT OF TOURISTS. ASIDES FROM OBVIOUSLY BRINGING IN TOURISM AND BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. A LARGE BENEFIT TO THIS IS THAT THE REVENUES OR PRESS GENERATED FROM THESE EVENTS CAN BE USEFUL IN EITHER DRAWING ATTENTION TO CAUSES IT'S A CITY SUPPORTS, FOR EXAMPLE, VOTER TURNOUT IS A PRESSING CONCERN. YOU CAN USE AN EVENT OF THIS SCALE, FOR EXAMPLE, TO ADVERTISE NOT FOR A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE, BUT JUST THE FACT THAT AN ELECTION IS UPCOMING. HERE YOU CAN VOTE AT THIS ELECTION, THE PRESS GENERATED OR THE TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THIS EVENT CAN BE USED TO GET THE WORD OUT FOR CAUSES LIKE THIS. THIS IS JUST ONE OF OUR SUGGESTIONS TO HAVE MORE EVENTS OF THIS NATURE. WITH THIS WE WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME AND TAKING ALL OF THIS INPUT INTO CONSIDERATION AND WE WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. >> WELL DONE. LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR [APPLAUSE] THEIR PRESENTATION. >> YURI WAS OUR PRESIDENT THIS YEAR. FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT KNOW, WE HAVE A MARRIAGE YOUTH COUNCIL, AND I THINK WE HAD 25 KIDS IN IT THIS YEAR FROM ACROSS HIGH SCHOOLS HERE IN FRISCO, DOING WHATEVER IT IS ON THE COMMITTEE WITH ME. IT'S A PRETTY INTENSIVE PROGRAM WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT EVERY PHASE OF THE CITY. WE TOOK THEM TO THE STAR AND SHOWED THEM AROUND, TAUGHT THEM ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE TOOK THEM TO THE FIRE TRAINING FACILITY AND THEY GOT TO SEE THE BURN HOUSE AND THE CAR AND LEARN ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY. THEY HAD LEARNED ABOUT BUDGETS AND WHAT THINGS COST AND HOW WE MANAGE ALL THOSE THINGS. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THEN EVERY YEAR THEY COME TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL WITH AN IDEA THAT THEY WANT TO SEE HAPPEN HERE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO. TO THE VERY POINT OF THIS IS, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND OUR TEENS AND ALMOST EVERY YEAR MARRIAGE YOUTH COUNCIL BRINGS FORTH AN IDEA THAT ULTIMATELY GETS IMPLEMENTED HERE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, BECOMES PART OF OUR PLANNING. THIS WAS VERY TIMELY. I WILL SAY THAT ZIP LINING WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIGH ON MY LIST OF THE SURVEY, BUT IT DOES PAINT THE PICTURE AS FAR AS WHEN WE'RE PLANNING THE ULTIMATE PARK THAT WE NEED TO TAKE ALL OF OUR USERS INTO ACCOUNT. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED SEEING THE DATA OF HOW FEW, HOW MANY HOURS OUR TEENS ARE SPENDING IN PARKS. THAT'S HONESTLY SHOCKING AND SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE NEED TO REALLY ADDRESS AS A COUNCIL AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY AND MAYBE WE WERE NOT DELIVERING [00:40:02] TO THE NEEDS THAT WOULD APPEAL TO OUR TEENS. VERY GREAT FEEDBACK, VERY IMPRESSIVE WE WERE ABLE TO GET 2,000 RESPONSES TO YOUR SURVEY. THIS IS VERY MEANINGFUL INFORMATION. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR HARD HITTING QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO ANSWER REGARDING YOUR PROJECT. COUNCIL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE. >> I'LL GO FIRST. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU ALL. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I GOT TO SIT IN ON MOST OF YOUR MEETINGS WHEN YOU MET EVERY MONTH AND SAW A LOT OF THE BEHIND THE SCENES BUT I WILL SAY VERY GOOD, VERY WELL DONE JOB ON THIS. I THINK THE LAST TIME THAT WE SAW YOU GUYS YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE 300 RESPONSES AND YOU'VE GOT IT UP TO ALMOST 2,000. EXCELLENT WORK THERE. GREAT PRESENTATION. I DON'T KNOW THAT I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE WHOLE BIKING THING. BUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS IN HERE, IT'S GREAT INFORMATION AND TOMORROW'S POINT, THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT THE TEENS ARE SPENDING AT THE PARKS IS SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE US TO LOOK INTO. BUT OVERALL, GREAT JOB GUYS. SERIOUSLY. >> I THINK THIS IS GREAT AND IT OPENED OUR EYES TO PROBABLY JUST CONSIDERING A BROADER RANGE OF PEOPLE WHEN WE'RE DOING THIS. I PROBABLY WON'T BE ON COUNCIL WHEN WE DO THIS, BUT I THINK ZIP LINING WITH COUNCIL WILL BE A GREAT IDEA. I LOOK FORWARD TO SOME OF MY NEWER COLLEAGUES BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT STUFF TO DO CLICKABLE THE COUNCIL, I'LL DO PICKLEBALL. >> I'LL TAKE YOU UP ON THAT COUNCIL. I WOULD SAY FIRST OF ALL, YOU GUYS DID AN AMAZING JOB. I KNOW SEVERAL OF YOU, WORK WITH YOU AND JUST REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ON THIS PROJECT. I KNOW WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE WORKING ON IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY THOSE RISING SENIORS TO BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME ON THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I REALLY LOVED THE WORK AND THE EFFORT THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS. I WILL SAY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE IS HOW YOU TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SOME OF YOUR IDEAS. SOMETIMES WE DON'T ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THAT, ESPECIALLY AS YOUTH. SOMETIMES WE HAVE GREAT IDEAS, BUT WE ALL THINK ABOUT HOW THEY GET FUNDED AND WHAT'S THE DOLLARS ATTACHED TO SOME OF YOUR IDEAS. I LOVED THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT YOU ADD IT TO THIS. I THINK THAT TO RUDY'S POINT EARLIER, IF WE AS A COUNCIL CAN TAKE FROM WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE SHARED WITH US BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS GOOD FEEDBACK AND IT'S EYE-OPENING. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE LEARNING A LOT ABOUT HOW TEENS THINK ABOUT THINGS SUCH AS OUR PARKS. BUT IF WE CAN TAKE THE SAME NOTION INTO EVERY OTHER AREA THAT WILL IMPACT OUR TEENS AND UTILIZE A SURVEY METHODOLOGY OF SOME SORT TO GET YOUR INPUT ONGOING, I THINK IS JUST ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND I THINK YOU HAVE PIQUED OUR INTEREST IN MAKING SURE THAT WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE AMENITIES AT THAT IMPACT OUR YOUTH, THAT WE USE A SURVEY OR SOME FORMAT TO GET YOUR INPUT. THANK YOU. >> I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD IS GREAT JOB GUYS. YOU HEARD THAT FROM ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES, BUT I JUST HAD A CURIOSITY WHEN YOU ASK THE QUESTION, ON AVERAGE, HOW MUCH TIME DID YOU CURRENTLY SPEND IN THE PARKS? DID YOU GET ANY FEEDBACK ON WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY DOING WHILE THEY WERE IN THE PARK AT THE TIME? IT'S OKAY TO SAY NO BECAUSE WE MIGHT TAP YOU GUYS FURTHER IN THE FUTURE. >> WE CAN SEND THE A FOLLOW UP FOR THAT. >> WE MIGHT TAP YOU FOR THAT. THIS DEFINITELY DOES POSE QUITE A FEW QUESTIONS AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE USING TODAY WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING FOR US TO FIGURE OUT WHERE DO WE HAVE THE GAPS. BUT THANK YOU, THIS IS INCREDIBLY EYE-OPENING. VERY, VERY HELPFUL. >> [BACKGROUND] GREAT WORK GUYS. THE TOP TWO FOOD TRUCKS AND ZIP LINES I'M ALL IN I'VE OFTEN SAID WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE ZIP LINES IN FRISCO? WE HAD THEM AT THE STORE. I THEN ZIP LINING BETWEEN DOUBLING AND MAYBE A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. HORSEBACK RIDING, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM. DID YOU GUYS GET ANY SENSE OF HOW BIG GRAND PARK IS? JUST THAT ONE SECTION. ANDREA, IF YOU DON'T MIND, CAN YOU SHARE WITH THEM? I THINK YOU SHARED IT. INTERESTING STAT WITH US. >> RUDY KNOWS THAT STAT. >> YEAH. >> I TEXTED YOU LAST NIGHT. >> ALL THE FOUR [NOISE] DISNEY PARKS COMBINED. >> WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. [LAUGHTER] SIR. PLEASE COME TO THE MIC. >> ALL THE FOUR DISNEY PARKS COMBINED AND THAT'S HOW BIG IT IS. >> COULD FIT IN SIGN GREG PARK. >> VERY BIG. >> IT'S HUGE. JUST GIVE OUR CITIZENS A SENSE THAT YOU COULD DO ALL THESE THINGS IN THERE AND STILL HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM LEFTOVER. BUT I THINK THE [LAUGHTER] METRIC YOU'RE NOT IN ON THAT [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER]. >> HE WAS CALCULATING THE COST OF [OVERLAPPING]. >> I THINK THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OBVIOUSLY IS, YOU HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL UNTOUCHED GREEN SPACE. [00:45:01] I THINK SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE BUFFALO GRASS AND JUST A LEGACY OF THE LAND, IF YOU WILL. I LOVED THAT YOU GUYS TOUCHED ON THAT AND THAT THE HISTORY GOES BEYOND THE HISTORY OF THE TIME THAT THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS BEEN HERE. BUT IT GOES BACK TO REALLY THE BEGINNING OF THIS LAND AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT YOU GUYS TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION. THAT WAS GREAT. WE'VE HEARD A GREAT IDEAS. HORSEBACK RIDING COULD FIT IN THERE. THAT COULD BE A LITTLE SUSTAINABLE. BUSINESSES SUSTAINS ITSELF THAT'S IN THERE, MAYBE SEASONALLY, THINGS LIKE THAT. I LOVE THE CREATIVITY AND THE FACT THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO, I THINK EVERYBODY HERE SAID THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO TAP INTO THIS HIDDEN RESOURCE HERE THAT WE HAVE OF THESE. YOU ALL ARE CONNECTED AND YOU LOVE DOING SURVEYS AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND BEING PART OF THE CONVERSATION. I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL AND THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND FOR SHARING ALL THIS INFORMATION WITH US. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US. WE REALLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL AND THANK YOU FOR THEM, MAYOR FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY. HOW WE GOT THE SURVEYS DONE WAS A LOT OF IT, WE WORKED WITH OUR SCHOOL LEADERS AND THE PRINCIPLES OR COUNSELORS, WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE ACTUALLY SENT IT OUT VIA SCHOOL MESSAGING SYSTEM NOTIFICATION. OUR SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU GUYS POTENTIALLY WORK WITH FIC SCHOOL BOARD AND MAKE IT A STANDARD WHERE ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR IF THERE IS A PROJECT LIKE GRAND PARK OR JUST THINGS IN GENERAL, YOU WOULD LIKE INPUT ON, JUST SEND IT OUT THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST WAY TO GET IMPACTS. A LOT OF RESPONSES WITHOUT PUTTING MUCH RESOURCES. >> SOLVE SCHOOL PICKUP AND DROP-OFF THAT WOULD BE PRICED. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. I WANT TO ALSO THANK HOLLY MACALL WHO SPENT A LOT OF LATE NIGHTS MANAGING THE PROGRAM AND THEN ALSO ALISON MILLER OVER FRISCO SD, WHO WAS PART OF THIS AS WELL. JUST ONE FINAL THOUGHT. I THINK YOUR PROJECT WILL LIVE ON PAST THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME IS X SIDE WAS FIRST GOES TO THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET FOR A LONG TIME, BEING JUST BATTERY RECYCLING PLANT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CITY. THEN JUST HOW WE COULD TURN THAT ON ITS HEAD ONE DAY AND IT BECOME AN ARBORETUM OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL THAT WE'VE RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION OR SOMETHING BETTER. BUT I THINK YOUR IDEA OF MAYBE TAKING THAT ONE STEP FURTHER. WHERE A THEME OF THE PARK IS VERY MUCH CENTERED AROUND SUSTAINABILITY TO TELL THAT STORY OF HOW IT WENT FROM SOMETHING VERY BAD IS SOMETHING REALLY GREAT, I THINK, IS A REALLY GREAT IDEA THAT I'LL HANG ONTO AND REMEMBER AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE FEEDBACK. I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU ALL TO ALL COME UP SO EVERYONE CAN SEE YOU AND BILL NYE COME TAKE A QUICK PICTURE WITH YOU ALL. IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR ACTUAL CERTIFICATES. [BACKGROUND] >> EMAI YOUR DAD WANTED ME TO GIVE YOU A SHOUT OUT BECAUSE HE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] WE ALL DID. [BACKGROUND] [NOISE] >> LET'S SEE. I'M GOING TO JUST LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES I THINK. [INAUDIBLE] SAY ANYTHING. >> RUDY OR COME ON.THANK YOU. CASHE'S BASTOLA. THANK YOU. MASON SHANI. I GOT THAT ONE. WELL DONE. MASON, TRISTAN FAIRGOOD. HEY TRISTAN. SOMALI JUDITH. THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. ASHLEY LOBO. THANK YOU. EUVEE. THANK YOU. MORELLA. THANK YOU SO MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS. PRISHA METTA. RIGHT BEHIND ME HOW ARE YOU? [00:50:04] I HOPE YOUR DAD'S WATCHING ONLINE TOO. IF NOT I'M GOING TO TEXT HIM LATER. MATTHEW MILLER, [BACKGROUND] TYLER MOORE. THANK YOU. HARSH PASWAN. CRITICA RAMESH. THANK YOU. PRANAVI REDY. JACOB ROGERS. CALEB SMITH, JAKE TREMBLE, AKSHITA, VINCA TYRAMINE. WAS LIKE CLOSE. [LAUGHTER] MADDIE BOWLES. THANK YOU MADDIE AND EMMA WILCOX. LET'S GIVE THEM ALL AROUND FOR PLAUSES. [BACKGROUND] [APPLAUSE] THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT. [CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)] I THINK WE HAVE A FEW SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. >> WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. WE HAVE ALISON DARRELL AND TIM LAMBERT. ALISON, IF YOU WANT TO COME UP AND SPEAK AND TIM, YOU CAN COME AND SIT UP FRONT TO BE READY AFTER HER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. WE'D APPRECIATE IT. [BACKGROUND] >> HELLO. MY NAME IS ALISON DARRELL. I LIVE AT 3876 WASHINGTON DRIVE IN FRISCO. MR PUREFOY, YOU MAY REMEMBER ME FROM CORNERSTONE RANCH. I WAS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THERE RECRUITED YOU TO OUR ADVISORY BOARD. MY DAD TOLD ME YOU'RE RETIRING THIS SUMMER. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO CORNERSTONE AND TO FRISCO, [APPLAUSE] 30 AMAZING. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. THIS MY DEAR FATHER, TIM LAMBERT. WE CHOSE TO SETTLE OUR FAMILY IN BELOVED FRISCO ABOUT 18 YEARS AGO. I RAISED MY SONS IN A LOCAL PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL BECAUSE I WANTED THEM NURTURED IN A WHOLESOME CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT. I MOVED ANDREW TO WAKELAND IN AUGUST 2021 TO HAVE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN PUBLIC EDUCATION AND FOR ANDREW TO PLAY DEFENSIVE END ON THE WOLVERINES VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM. WHEN ANDREW STARTED AT WAKELAND HIS JUNIOR YEAR, WE FIGURED THAT FRISCO ISD WOULD PROVIDE A SLIGHTLY LOWER MORELAND EDUCATIONAL CALIBER, BUT IT'S BEEN WORSE THAN I EXPECTED. THERE IS EXTENSIVE SEXUAL IMMORALITY, DRINKING, DRUGS, VAPING IN SCHOOL BRAWLS, WATERFALL GRADING, WHICH ALLOWS FOR RETESTING UNTIL A STUDENT ACHIEVES AN ACCEPTABLE GRADE. HOMEWORK IS OPTIONAL AND NOT GRADED, MIDDLE-SCHOOL AP ENGLISH CLASSES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED IN THE INTEREST OF MARXIST EQUITY. NO WRITTEN TEXTBOOKS, PORNOGRAPHY IN THE LIBRARIES AND THE ROLLOUT OF CONTROVERSIAL SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. [INAUDIBLE] HIGH SCHOOL ALSO HAS A WOKE GAY ACTIVIST LIBRARIAN WHO [00:55:06] STATED MISSION IS TO TEACH WOKENESS AND TO CREATE A LIBRARY WITH GAY CONTENT FOR FISD, GAY OR POSSIBLY GAY STUDENTS. THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED FOR THE GOOD OF OUR CHILDREN AND THE COMMUNITY. IT IS AGAINST STATE AND FEDERAL LAW FOR ADULTS TO PROVIDE PORNOGRAPHY TO MINORS. IT IS NOT PARENT'S JOB TO FIND AN OBJECT TO THESE BOOKS. IT IS THE ISD'S LAWFUL DUTY TO PREVENT ANY PORNOGRAPHY FROM GETTING INTO OUR LIBRARIES. THE FISB BOARD AND OTHER FRISCO OFFICIALS, INCLUDING MR. WOODARD, HAVE PUBLICLY MINIMIZED AND OR DENIED THE PRESENCE OF PORNOGRAPHY IN OUR LIBRARIES. TO QUOTE MR. WOODARD'S APRIL 25 2022 FACEBOOK POST, ''FISD IS NOT ALLOWING PORN IN THEIR LIBRARIES, THAT IS NOT HAPPENING IN FISD." THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I PROVIDED THE CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD WITH ACCESS TO A ONEDRIVE WITH OVER 25 SCREENSHOTS OF PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENT FROM THE BOOKS WE HAVE FOUND SO FAR. TO PROVE IT ONCE AND FOR ALL, I WAS GOING TO READ TO YOU FROM A TRANSGENDER PORNOGRAPHIC BOOK THAT ONE OF OUR MAMA BEARS FOUGHT TO HAVE REMOVED FROM MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIES. I'M GOING TO REFRAIN FROM DOING SO BECAUSE THE CONTENT IS SO VIAL. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO LOOK AT THE CONTENTS ON THE ONEDRIVE. THERE' A LOT THERE. WE HAVE FOUND OTHER PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS DEPICTING MINORS ENGAGED IN GAY AND HETEROSEXUAL SEX, GANG RAPE, BOTH GAY AND HETEROSEXUAL ADULTS RAPING CHILDREN, TRANSGENDER SEX, ETC. I ASK MR. WOODARD TO PUBLICLY RETRACT HIS DENIAL THAT PORNOGRAPHY IS IN OUR FISD LIBRARIES. THE BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PORNOGRAPHY FOR ALMOST A YEAR, YET HAS NOT PROACTIVELY PURGED IT, LEAVING OUR CHILDREN TO CONTINUE CONSUMING IT. IT IS EXCLUSIVELY THE PARENT'S ROLE TO SHEPHERD THEIR CHILDREN'S SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SEXUALITY OF OUR CHILDREN IS NONE OF THE SCHOOLS BUSINESS. IT NEVER HAS BEEN AND IT NEVER WILL BE. FISD MUST IMPLEMENT A ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY AGAINST ANYONE HYPERSEXUALIZING, HOMO SEXUALIZING, OR TRANSGENDERIZING OUR CHILDREN. THE BREACH OF WHICH MUST RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. MY FAMILY WORSHIPS AT GATEWAY FRISCO CHURCH, OUR SENIOR PASTOR, ROBERT MORRIS, HAS HIMSELF SEEN THE PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS IN ISD LIBRARIES. FROM HIS PULPIT, PASTOR ROBERT HAS CALLED ON ALL LOCAL ISDS TO PURGE ITS PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENT. MAY WE RETURN TO THE CONSERVATIVE MORALS THAT ENABLES SOCIETY TO FLOURISH AND ENSURE THE INNOCENCE OF OUR CHILDREN. [NOISE] MY FATHER, TIM LAMBERT IS HERE WITH ME. DAD IS A GOD-FEARING FRISCO ELDER WHO MANY OF YOU KNOW WELL, HIS VOICE MUST BE HEARD. OUR ELDERS TETHER US TO AGES OLD MORALITY AND PROVIDE US WITH A MUCH NEEDED REALITY CHECK AND AS SOCIETY THAT HAS BECOME INTOLERABLY DEPRAVED. DAD. [APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU ALISON. DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CITY COUNCIL. I'M TIM LAMBERT, A FRISCO RESIDENT. I WAS EDUCATED DURING THE PRESIDENCIES OF FDR, HARRY TRUMAN AND DWIGHT EISENHOWER. MY RECOLLECTION OF MY EDUCATION DURING THAT ERA WAS ESSENTIALLY ON THE THREE RS NOT GEARED TO THE MORALITY OF THE WORLD. I'M 85 YEARS OLD, AN OLD GUY AND I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD OF MY DAUGHTER, ALISON DARRELL, AS TO WHEN SHE CALLED ME AND MY WIFE ON APRIL 20 AND TOLD US THAT SHE ADDRESSED THIS COUNCIL ON APRIL 19, AND ALSO ON TO THE FISD ON 4,11 ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS. SHE'S ONE OF MANY PRESCHOOL MAMA BEARS. SHE JUST TOLD ME A FEW MINUTES HERE. THERE'S PROBABLY 50 OR MORE MAMA BEARS CIRCULATING AROUND THE 80 OR SO ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOLS, CHECKING OUT LIBRARIES. AUDREY MY WIFE OF 58 YEARS IS SITTING RIGHT HERE AND I'M GLAD SHE'S WITH ME. THE ISSUE THAT CONSUMES US IS PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS, E-BOOKS ABOUT SEXUAL GROOMING, HOMOSEXUALIZATION, TRANSGENDERIZATION, HYPER SEXUAL MATERIAL THAT OUR MINOR CHILDREN CAN ACCESS. THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR SCHOOLS, [01:00:02] LIBRARIES AT ALL THREE SCHOOL LEVELS. I BELIEVE THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS MATERIAL IS A PRODUCT OF A WOKEISM. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WOKEISM WILL BE THE SAME AS NAZISM, SOCIALISM, MARXISM AND COMMUNISM AND OTHER ISMS INTO THE SCRAPS OF HISTORY. THE MAMA BEARS AND THE SOCCER MOMS WILL SEE TO IT THAT WOKEISM IS REMOVED FROM OUR BOARDS OF EDUCATION. THEY WANT MORALS TO BE TAUGHT AT HOME AND TO HAVE AN EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS HOME INSTRUCTION. I KNOW THAT MOST OF YOU, IF NOT ALL ARE PARENTS WHO HAVE CHILDREN IN FISD SCHOOLS. YOUR CHILDREN THEREFORE HAVE ACCESS TO THESE BOOKS, WHICH WE ARE ALL AWARE EXIST IN OUR LIBRARIES. MANY MOTHERS AND MAMA BEARS ARE HUNTING DOWN THE BOOKS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARIES. THIS BECOMES THE PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THE TRUSTEES OR LIBRARIANS DO NOT DO DILIGENCE THEMSELVES, THE PARENTS WANT TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN FROM SEXUALIZATION AND NOT HAVE IT ENDORSED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION BY BEING AVAILABLE IN OUR LIBRARIES. THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS SHUT IT'S RESPONSIBILITIES THAT IS IMPOSED ON THEM BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATION AND LAW. I SUPPOSE SOME OF YOU ON THIS COUNSEL HAVE LITTLE OR NO INTEREST IN CONFRONTING THIS ISSUE WHEN IT'S EVIDENT THAT THE BOOKS ARE THERE. AS YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW, GOVERNOR ABBOTT SENT A LETTER TO DR. DAN TROXELL OF TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS, DATED 11,1 OF LAST YEAR, REMINDING THE ISD OR STATE ORGANIZATION THAT IT IS THE ISD TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITY AS TO WHAT BOOKS ARE TO BE PLACED UNDER THEIR AUTHORITY, NOT THE VENDORS. I'M APPALLED THAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS OF THIS FISD TRUSTEES ARE NOT EQUALLY APPALLED AS THESE MOTHERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THIS MATTER OUT OF SCHOOLS AND BE UNAVAILABLE TO THE CHILDREN. I BELIEVE IF THE TRUSTEES TOOK THE MATTER SERIOUSLY, THIS STUFF WOULD BE OUT OF OUR PUBLIC FACILITIES IN A NANOSECOND. INSTEAD, IT HIDES BEHIND LEGAL EASE, MUMBO JUMBO, OR IT'S TOO MUCH WORK. THEY SEEM TO WANT TO BLAME VENDORS OR LIBRARIANS OR ANYONE ELSE RATHER THAN ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY AS BOARD MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO PERFORM THE PURGING FUNCTION, PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN FROM HARM. I UNDERSTAND. IT'S EASY TO FIND ANY OF THIS PORNOGRAPHIC STUFF BY GOING TO [NOISE] THE CITY DATABASE. AM I DONE OR WHAT? [BACKGROUND] 27. MANY OF US CARE THAT THIS STUFF REDUCES LONG-TERM PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM TO THE YOUTH. WE KNOW THAT. WE CAN HIRE COUNSELORS TO STRAIGHTEN OUT OR KIDS BRAINS. I ASK YOU AS ELECTED OFFICIALS TO WORK WITH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND CLEAN UP THE OPERATION. I'M DELIGHTED THAT JARED PATTERSON, REPRESENTATIVE [NOISE] TEXAS HOUSE IS CARRYING THE TORCH [NOISE] TO CLEAN UP ISD SCHOOL LIBRARIES [NOISE]. I GUESS I'M DONE. >>THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU.[APPLAUSE] >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AND SHARE THEIR INPUT? THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO OUR REPORTS SECTION. I SEE. ITEMS 7 IS OUR LIBRARY REPORT. [7. Library Report on monthly statistics and activities.] >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. YOU HAVE THE LIBRARY REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU. I'D LIKE TO CALL OUT THAT WE HAVE SUMMER READING BEGINNING MAY 20TH. IT'S BEGINNING A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN IS TYPICAL THIS YEAR. IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS, SUMMER READING WILL START AND SO FAMILIES CAN COME AND REGISTER. WE'LL HAVE ACTIVITIES HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING ON WEDNESDAYS. YOU CAN REGISTER AND THEN LOGIN THE NUMBER OF HOURS YOU'VE READ WHEN YOU MEET CERTAIN GOALS. THERE ARE VERY GENEROUS VENDORS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT HAVE DONATED PRICES FOR FAMILIES. I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAD A WONDERFULLY PRODUCTIVE MEETING WITH THE KIDS WHO CAME LAST MONTH TO TALK ABOUT ROBOTICS. IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN HELP THEM AT A LIBRARY WITH SOME OF THEIR NEEDS AND WE'RE WORKING [01:05:03] WITH PARKS AND REC AND THE DISCOVERY CENTER TO SEE WHETHER THEY CAN HELP FILL A SLOT AS WELL. BUT THEY'RE GREAT KIDS. THEY REPRESENT ABOUT A 100 KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE WORKING ON ROBOTICS AND THEY COMPETE. THEY APPARENTLY GET THEIR CHALLENGE THE FIRST WEEKEND OF EVERY JANUARY. THEY HAVE SIX WEEKS TO BUILD THEIR ROBOTS AND HAVE THEM READY TO COMPETE. THEN THEY COMPETE FOR ABOUT SIX WEEKS AND THEN THE WHOLE THING IS OVER UNTIL THE NEXT YEAR. IT'S PRETTY FUN IN THE AMOUNT OF ENTHUSIASM THEY HAVE IS AMAZING. IT WAS GREAT TO MEET WITH THEM. WE ALSO HAVE OUR SURVEY OUT. THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY HAVE TRIED TO TAKE IT ON YOUR APPLE DEVICE AND USED SAFARI, MAY HAVE THOUGHT THE LIBRARY HAS A PROBLEM. [LAUGHTER] BUT IN FACT, FOR WHATEVER REASON THE SURVEY DOESN'T WORK ON SAFARI. SO YOU NEED TO USE ONE OF THE OTHER BROWSERS YOU MAY HAVE ON YOUR PHONE. BUT WE'RE GETTING SOME GREAT RESULTS. IT'S BEEN PRETTY SATISFYING TO FIND OUT THAT AS WE HAVE ASSIGNED TO SPACE IN THE NEW LIBRARY, IT'S LINING UP WITH THE PERCENTAGES THAT ARE COMING BACK ON THE RESULTS AND IN THE REPORT YOU'LL SEE HOW THE RESULTS ARE COMING BACK SO FAR. WE'RE PRETTY PLEASED WITH THAT AND WE'D LIKE TO INVITE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE IT OR IF YOU TRIED AND FOUND OUT THAT IT FAILED ON SAFARI ON YOUR IOS DEVICE TO GIVE IT A TRY IN ANOTHER BROWSER. CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES. IT'S VERY EXCITING. THEY'RE JUST STARTING TO PUT SOME OF THE GLAZING UP NOW OVER THIS WEEK, AND THEN NEXT WEEK THEY HOPE TO BE BEGINNING TO PUT UP THE WOOD PLANKING OR THE WOULD LOOK LIKE PLAIN KINK THAT GOES AROUND THE BOX ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDINGS. WE'RE STARTING TO SEE SOME REAL PROGRESS ON THE OUTSIDE. WE'RE EXCITED AT WHAT'S GOING ON. THE INTERIOR IMAGE YOU'RE SEEING IS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPACE AND LOOKING TO THE NORTH. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE MEZZANINE IS DIVIDING THE SPACE. BELOW IS THE ENTRANCE AND ABOVE IS WHAT WILL BE THE FORMAL READING ROOM WHEN THAT SPACE IS COMPLETE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? >> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT THAT I WANT TO MAKE AND JUST FOR ANYONE THAT MAY BE WATCHING THIS LIVE ARE SITTING HERE AND DOESN'T KNOW. MYSELF, I THINK A FEW OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY AND THAT WE WERE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. I APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET CREDIT FOR THAT, YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND THAT DON'T GET WRAPPED UP ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY BE GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> THANK YOU. >> ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL AND THE CITIZENS I APPRECIATE THAT, THE EFFORT AND QUALITY THAT YOU HAVE ON THE LIBRARY. >> WE WORK VERY HARD AND I MIGHT REFER PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT IS CERTAINLY A TOPIC OF THE DAY. YOU CAN GO TO THE LIBRARY'S WEBSITE, GO TO THE VERY BOTTOM IN THE FOOTER. THERE'S A LITTLE LINK CALLED SERVICE POLICY. CLICK ON THAT LINK, GO TO PAGE 15. RIGHT THERE, YOU CAN SEE THE COLLECTION POLICY. IT GIVES YOU THE INFORMATION ON HOW AND WHAT WE COLLECT. YOU CAN SCROLL FURTHER TO PAGES 34 AND 36, AND IF I'M OFF BY A PAGE OR TWO BE PATIENT WITH ME AND JUST SCROLL AHEAD OR BELOW AND YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE TWO FORMS THERE THAT GIVE ANY RESIDENT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET THE LIBRARY KNOW OF ANYTHING THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT. THEY CAN BE CONCERNED IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. ONE, WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING THEY EXPECTED TO SEE, SO THEY CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION THAT WE CONSIDER PURCHASING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN OUR COLLECTION THAT THEY HAD ANTICIPATED OR BELIEF SHOULD BE. IF THEY FIND SOMETHING IN THE COLLECTION, THEY BELIEVE SHOULD NOT BE IN THE COLLECTION OR THEY OBJECT TO, THEY CAN ALSO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION FORM OF MATERIALS THAT ARE IN THE COLLECTION. THOSE FORMS GO DIRECTLY TO ME. AS I NOTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I'VE RECEIVED ONE. I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK WITH ANYONE ABOUT MATERIALS IN THE LIBRARY, HOW THEY GET THERE, HOW WE CATALOG, WHERE WE PLACE THINGS, HOW SELECTION IS DONE, AND ANYTHING THAT IS CONCERNING TO ANYONE IN THE COLLECTION. WE ARE VERY OPEN ABOUT THAT. IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THE COLLECTION IS BUILT, HOW MATERIALS ARE PUT IN, THAT GIVES YOU THE NITTY-GRITTY ON SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE COLLECTION. PLEASE CHECK OUT. IT'S BORING READING, BUT THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT IN THE SERVICE POLICY. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. >> SHELLEY. WE MAY HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS, BUT I'M CURIOUS IN LIGHT OF THE PRESENTATION FROM THE MAYOR OF HYTHE COUNCIL [01:10:01] TONIGHT AND GETTING FEEDBACK FROM OUR TEAMS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF GRANT PARK, HAVE WE DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH THE LIBRARY? IS THAT AN OPPORTUNITY? IS IT TOO LATE TO DO? >> NOW, I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE DIDN'T DO AS MUCH THIS TIME IN THIS BUILD AS WE DID WITH THE BUILD WE'RE IN NOW WHEN I WAS A YOUTH LIBRARIAN, PREVIOUS TO MY CURRENT JOB. I WENT OUT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL. I'M GOING TO DATE MYSELF. THIS IS BACK WHEN FRISCO ONLY HAD ONE HIGH SCHOOL, SO IT ONLY TOOK ME A WEEK. WE DID SURVEYS WITH EVERY ENGLISH STUDENT IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND WE GOT A TON OF FEEDBACK FROM THEM ON WHAT THEY EXPECTED IN THE LIBRARY. THAT'S HOW WE BUILT THE TEEN AREA OF THE LIBRARY THAT WE HAVE TODAY. WE DO HAVE A VERY ACTIVE TEEN VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND TAB, TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, AND WE DO HAVE FEEDBACK FROM THEM. THAT WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE TEEN AREA IN THE NEW LIBRARY. THAT'S WHY THERE ARE SOME FEATURES IN THE NEW TEEN AREA LIKE THE GAMING COMPUTERS AND GAMING AREA. SOME OF THE TYPES OF FURNITURE THAT'S IN THERE THAT IS PLANNED FOR THAT SPACE AND HOW IT IS PLANNED FOR THAT SPACE. EVEN THE CREATIVITY COMMONS, WHICH IS A ROOM RIGHT AS YOU ENTER THE BUILDING, WHICH IS ONE WE'RE PARTICULARLY PROUD OF AND WE FEEL IS PRETTY IMAGINATIVE, HAS SOME SPECIAL ELEMENTS THAT WILL APPEAL TO TEENS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE FEEDBACK WE GET FROM OUR TEEN ADVISORY BOARD INTO CONSIDERATION. BUT WE DIDN'T DO THE KIND OF SERVING WE DID LAST TIME, SO I DO HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION AND WE CAN ALWAYS TRY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> MOVE US TO ITEM 8, [8. Parks & Recreation report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.] WHICH IS OUR PARKS AND REC REPORT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES TO GO THROUGH AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE THE REPORT THERE, SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THAT. JUST WANTED TO SHOWCASE. WE'VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF FUN, A LOT OF PLAY. [LAUGHTER] FESTIVAL OF COLORS IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE FAVORITES, AND NATURE EXPLORER'S IS ONE OF THE FAN FAVORITES AS WELL. WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT WAYS TO EXPAND THAT PROGRAM BECAUSE IT DREW SO MANY PEOPLE THIS YEAR. MAY OF COURSE IS BIKE MONTH. I KNOW THAT WE HAD OUR BIKE PROCLAMATION AND RECOGNITION UP HERE EARLIER. THE ROLE OF THE COUNCIL AS NOTED, IS ON MAY 21ST, SO THAT'S ABOUT A SEVEN MILE RIDE THAT'S COMING UP. THERE'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY ON MAY 7TH FOR THE FRISCO TOUR D4. THAT IS HOSTED BY SOME LOCAL BIKE CLUBS. IT'S BETWEEN 10:00-2:00 AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN MULTIPLE BIKE RIDES IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THAT. OF COURSE, NORTHWEST COMMUNITY PARK IN FRISCO AND THE GREEN IS MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I BRING THIS UP AGAIN BECAUSE THEY'LL BE ANOTHER COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE THAT'LL BECOMING. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HOST IT HERE. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SHELLEY SO THAT WE CAN POST THE TWO DESIGNS IN THE LIBRARY AS WE'VE DONE BEFORE, TO EVEN GATHER FEEDBACK FROM THE SMALLEST CITIZENS, WHICH IS ALWAYS FUN TO HEAR THE REALLY YOUNG ONES SHOW YOU WHAT THEY LIKE AND WHAT THEY DON'T. BUT WE'LL POST THOSE FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN WE PLAN TO DO A RECEPTION TOWARDS THE END OF MAY HERE IN THE ATRIUM AND PERHAPS EVEN USE THE CHAMBERS TO TRY AND DRAW IN SOME DIFFERENT FEEDBACK. OUR HERITAGE MUSEUM, I ALLUDED TO THIS EARLIER. IT'S CLEANED UP. IT IS VACANT, AND IT IS READY FOR THE NEW STORY OR THE UPDATED STORY OF FRISCO, WHICH WILL INVOLVE AN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE, SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT NOW. THEN THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY, AND I WISH ALL THE TEENAGERS WERE STILL HERE, ALTHOUGH I HEAR THE TREND IS TRULY NOW TO TRAIN AND HIRE SENIORS AND RETIRED PEOPLE TO BE LIFEGUARDS AND SWIM INSTRUCTORS. IF YOU KNOW ANY, [LAUGHTER] WE WILL TAKE ANYONE OF ANY AGE. WE HAVE QUITE A FEW POSITIONS TO FILL FOR SUMMER CAMP AND ALSO FOR HELP AT THE WATER PARK AND THE INDOOR POOL. WE ARE OUT THERE RECRUITING, SO PLEASE HELP US. WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION ON THE FOUR BIKE RIDES THAT ARE GOING OUT THIS WEEKEND I BELIEVE, THERE'S TWO LEAVING AT TEN O'CLOCK AND THEN THERE'S TWO LEAVING IT ONE O'CLOCK. [OVERLAPPING]. >> ONE O'CLOCK. YES. >> IT'S GOING TO BE THE FOUR QUADRANTS OF THE CITY. YOU WANT TO LEAVE AT TEN O'CLOCK ON THE EAST SIDE, ONE ON THE WEST SIDE, AND THEN AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY. >> YES. IT'S A LOT OF BICYCLING. IT'S BEEN GREAT. >> WELL, WE MENTIONED IT EARLIER BUT YOU GAVE US AN EXCITING UPDATE ON GRAND PARK. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE THAT AGAIN WITH THIS NEW AUDIENCE? [01:15:04] >> I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE THAT. AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, WE HAVE COMMITTED TO HAVING OUR FIRST TRIAL THROUGH, AND HAVE PEOPLE INVITED INTO GRAND PARK THE FOURTH QUARTER. WE'VE COMMITTED TO THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR. I UNDERSTAND, I PROBABLY NEED TO START RUNNING BECAUSE I'VE HEARD YOU INVITE PEOPLE TO YOUR THANKSGIVING RUN. [LAUGHTER] I'LL START WORKING ON THAT, BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. WE'VE HAD A TEAM THAT HAVE BEEN DOWN IN GRAND PARK SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK TO DO. WE VIEW IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE OUR RESIDENTS, REALLY OUR GUESTS IN TO HAVE A PHENOMENAL FIRST EXPERIENCE AND MANY MORE AFTER THAT. THERE'S A LOT OF PLANNING TO BE DONE. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET PEOPLE IN THERE. >> WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> I'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 9; [9. Public Works and Engineering report on activities related to roadways, traffic control and transportation, stormwater drainage, water and wastewater, and solid waste collection.] OUR PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING REPORT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS ALWAYS WE CONTINUE TO TRACK OUR CONSUMPTION. THIS IS A CUMULATIVE CONSUMPTION CHART HERE. THE THREE DIFFERENT COLORS ARE THE PAST TWO YEARS AND IN THE RED LINE IS ON TOP. AS YOU MOVE ACROSS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, IT'S THE ADVANCE IN THE WATER YEAR AND THEN IN THE VERTICAL AXIS IS THE TOTAL CONSUMPTION, AND SO WE JUST BUILD ON ITSELF MONTH OVER MONTH, AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET TO THE SAME ENDPOINTS THAT WE DID LAST YEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW. HOPEFULLY THIS RAIN WILL HELP US OUT. THERE'S SOME QUALIFIERS LISTED THERE ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL POPULATION, THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND INCLUDING DROUGHT AND RAINFALL. WE ARE MONITORING THIS. HOWEVER, ONE THING THAT'S INTERESTING AND ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THIS AS OUR GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY. IT'S FAIRLY CONSISTENT, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT ABOVE LAST YEAR. WE'RE STILL RUNNING AROUND A 162 GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY, WHICH IS ABOUT WHERE WE'VE BEEN. WE ARE A LITTLE BIT UP THIS YEAR AS OVER AS LAST YEAR. WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD EDUCATION TEAM IN PLACE RIGHT NOW THAT'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE AS OF LATE, AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME WAYS TO IMPROVE UPON PERHAPS STRENGTHEN OUR COMPLIANCE/ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS OUT IN THE FIELD. WE'VE GOT SOME PROPOSALS WERE KICKING AROUND AT A STAFF LEVEL RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TO BEGIN THINKING ABOUT HOW STRONGLY WE WANT TO PURSUE THOSE ACTIVITIES, TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT OUR WATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE STATES THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING, AND THAT'S MORE TO COME ON THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER, BUT THAT MIGHT HELP US KEEP THIS CONSUMPTION CUT.
