FRISCO GARDEN CLUB IS ESPECIALLY PROUD OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT WE GIVE EVERY YEAR TO FRISCO ISD SENIORS.
I MUST SAY, THIS YEAR, OUR PRESIDENT'S PROJECT, OUR BIRD NESTING BOXES FOR OUR [INAUDIBLE] AND OUR CHICKADEES TO NEST.
SO LATE FEBRUARY THROUGH JUNE, LOOK AROUND THE CITY OF FRISCO FOR OUR NESTING BOXES, AS THAT IS WHEN THE CHICKADEES AND THE [INAUDIBLE] NEST.

PROCLAMATION READS; WHEREAS OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED UPON
[5. Pride Month]
THE DECLARATION THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS ARE AMONG THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF EVERY PERSON, AND THAT EVERY PERSON SHALL BE AFFORDED EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW, AND WHEREAS LGBTQ PRIDE CELEBRATIONS INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AS WELL AS SUPPORTERS, AND WHEREAS THE STONEWALL INN, A NEW YORK CITY ESTABLISHMENT THAT CATERED TO THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY WAS RAIDED ON JUNE 28TH, 1969, THE INCIDENT SPARKED PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS THAT LASTED FOR SIX DAYS AND LATER SERVED AS A CATALYST FOR THE LGBTQ RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD, AND WHEREAS PRIDE CELEBRATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE AROUND THE UNITED STATES EVERY JUNE TO COMMEMORATE THE HISTORICAL EVENT, TO COMMIT TO ACHIEVING EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND TO EDUCATE OTHERS, AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS A DIVERSE COMMUNITY THAT INCLUDES MANY RESIDENTS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS SUPPORTERS, AND IS COMMITTED TO BEING INCLUSIVE OF ALL RESIDENTS, NOW, THEREFORE, I JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF FRISCO, DO HEREBY RECOGNIZE THAT PRIDE MONTH OCCURS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE AND CALL THIS OBSERVANCE TO THE ATTENTION OF ALL OF OUR CITIZENS.[00:15:03]
[APPLAUSE]>> THANK YOU ALL. WITH THIS PROCLAMATION, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WE AFFIRM THE DIGNITY AND VALUE OF EVERY LGBTQ PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY; THOSE WHO CAN BE VISIBLE, THOSE WHO CANNOT OR CHOOSE NOT TO BE VISIBLE FOR SAFETY OR OTHER VARIOUS REASONS, AND THOSE ALSO WHO STAND WITH US AS SUPPORTERS AND ALLIES.
WE CALL ON OUR NEIGHBORS TO RESPECT AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER HARD STOP.
WE CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES, WE EMBRACE THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES THAT WE ALL HOLD IN COMMON, AND WE REAFFIRM OUR COMMITMENT TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH LGBTQ PEOPLE WHO ARE OUR COWORKERS, OUR COLLEAGUES, OUR CLASSMATES, OUR FRIENDS, AND OUR NEIGHBORS.
THE TREVOR PROJECT ESTIMATES THAT AT LEAST ONE LGBTQ PLUS PERSON BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 AND 24, ATTEMPTS SUICIDE EVERY 45 SECONDS IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE SOLUTION, IT'S NOT DIFFICULT, LGBTQ YOUTH WHO HAVE ACCESS TO AFFIRMING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES ATTEMPT SUICIDE AT HALF THE RATE.
TONIGHT, WE SEND A POWERFUL MESSAGE TO EVERY LGBTQ PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY; YOU'RE LOVED, YOU'RE WELCOMED, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
TO ALL THE LGBTQ YOUTH KNOW THAT IT DOES GET BETTER, IT WILL GET BETTER, PROGRESS IS HERE.
>> WE'D LIKE TO OPEN NOW THE PODIUM FOR
[CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)]
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC OF PRIDE MONTH.THE FIRST PERSON I WOULD LIKE TO CALL IF YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WAY UP TO THE FRONT IS JESSE RINGNESS.
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT MY UNCLE.
MY UNCLE GLENN WAS A GAY MAN AND HE DID TAKE HIS LIFE IN 2000.
AS A 10-YEAR-OLD KID, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND.
SO I LOVED THAT FRISCO IS INCLUSIVE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AT HOME WATCHING UNDERSTAND THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WITH YOUR RACE, IT DOES NOT MATTER YOUR ORIENTATION.
THOSE THINGS DO NOT MATTER WHAT POLITICAL PARTY YOU COME FROM.
FRISCO IS AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY AND FRISCO WELCOMES ALL.
AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING LIKE TONIGHT'S PROCLAMATION.
>> THANK YOU MR. KHANG. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME [OVERLAPPING] AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.
I'M HERE TO STOP FRISCO FROM BECOMING SAN FRANCISCO.
>> YEAH. WHY IS TAXPAYER MONEY SUPPORTING THE SICK POLITICAL AGENDA? IS THAT WHY THE PROPERTY TAXES ARE SO HIGH HERE? BECAUSE IT'S WASTED ON SICK STUPID STUFF LIKE THIS AND WASTING TIME.
THOSE WHO BROUGHT KIDS HERE SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
IN REALITY, THIS IS A SATANIC DEPOPULATION AGENDA FUNDED BY THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.
SOUNDS CRAZY. THEY WANT ALL Y'ALL OF YOU TO STOP HAVING KIDS.
THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
Y'ALL ARE TURNING TEXAS INTO SAN FRANCISCO.
THIS $5 GASES, ALL Y'ALL'S FAULT.
[00:20:02]
YOU ALL HAVE TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD SO YOU CAN GET YOUR EYES OPEN AND SEE WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.WOE ONTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL THAT PUT DARKNESS FOR LIGHT AND LIGHT FOR DARKNESS.
THAT PUT BITTER FOR SWEET AND SWEET FOR BITTER.
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS.
>> THANKS. NICE GO. [APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER]
>> JENA, I'M SORRY, I MAY MISPRONOUNCE THIS, JENA MASQUELIER. [NOISE]
IF YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU PRONOUNCE THAT FOR US AND GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE. THANK YOU.
>> IT'S REALLY JUST LIKE IT'S SPELLED, BUT NO ONE GETS IT RIGHT.
IT'S COOL. I DID NOT PLAN TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
I CAME TO LEARN AND DEFINITELY NOT TO BE CALLED HOMOPHOBIC OR TRANSPHOBIC.
I DO CELEBRATE WINS AND I LOVE THE HUMAN SPIRIT.
AND ALL OF US THAT COME HERE WITH DIFFERENT VALUES AND FAITH, I THINK THAT'S CALLED BASIC RESPECT.
BUT I DO EXPECT BALANCE AND BOUNDARIES AND A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
AND THIS PROCLAMATION OF AN ENTIRE MONTH FEELS IMBALANCED.
TO WHAT ELSE HAS FRISCO PROCLAIMED AN ENTIRE MONTH, 1/12 OF THE YEAR DEDICATED TO SEXUAL CHOICE AND GARDENS ONLY GET A WEEK.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE END GOAL HERE AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS OPEN DOORS TO ROOMS THAT ARE UNSAFE FOR OUR CHILDREN, AND THAT'S MY FOCUS.
I WOULD PREFER THAT OUR CHILDREN NOT BE DIRECTED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN TO THE TOPIC OF SEX OR GENDER FLUIDITY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
LOVE DOES WIN, BUT I'M JUST NOT SURE DEDICATING A MONTH TO THIS MAKES SENSE.
I WANT TO KNOW WHICH OF YOU VOTED FOR THIS AND ALSO WHO VOTED AGAINST IT.
YOU ARE THE ELECTED LEADERS OF OUR CITY AND TRUSTED TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT BETTER OUR CITY.
[NOISE] MR. LA FUENTE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.
>> YES. MY NAME IS ANDREW LA FUENTE.
I'M A LIFELONG RESIDENT OF FRISCO, TEXAS.
I COME FROM PRESSMONT JUST SHORT OF HERE, 9403 SUGARLAND LANE, THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN FIND ME.
SO I'LL JUST PREFACE THIS REALLY QUICKLY AND ASK A QUESTION LATER ON.
AND THAT IS, AGAIN, I'VE BEEN HERE IN FRISCO ALL MY LIFE.
JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, I ATTENDED AS A TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC, A ROSARY RALLY DOWN IN DALLAS AGAINST WHAT MANY OF YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD BY NOW WAS A DRAG QUEEN GROOMING EVENT TARGETING CHILDREN AT A HOMOSEXUAL BAR.
AND WE WERE PRAYING PEACEFULLY.
AND AGAIN, I SAY ALL THESE THINGS OUT OF LOVE AND NOT HATE, SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY.
BUT I DO WANT TO ASK THE PEOPLE HERE TODAY WHO MAY DISAGREE WITH ME AND ALL THE COUNSELOR MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE HERE, WHAT DOES PROMOTING SODOMY AND PROMOTING AN ACTUAL WOUND TO YOUR SON'S GENITALS AND GROOMING DO TO HELP OUR PEOPLE HERE IN FRISCO, AND HOW DO THESE REPRESENT TEXAS VALUES AND FRISCO VALUES BECAUSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, Y'ALL MAY BE CELEBRATING PRIDE MONTH, BUT IN REALITY, IT IS THE SACRED HEART OF OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST.
CHRIST IS KING AND PRIDE IS A SIN.
I DON'T CARE WHAT ANY OF Y'ALL SAY COPE AND SEETHE.
AND THAT BEING SAID, I HOPE YOU CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS IN MY REMARKS VERY SERIOUSLY.
AND ALSO, IF Y'ALL ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD GROUP IN PLACE TO JOIN NEW COLUMBIA MOVEMENT, FAITH, FAMILY, FRATERNITY, WE CAN DO KNOW OTHERWISE.
>> CHRIST IS KING. CHRIST IS KING.
>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE IF YOU CONTINUE, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL.
EVERYONE'S GOING TO GET THERE TIME TO SPEAK THEIR COMMENTS. THANK YOU.
MS. BROOKS, IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR DRESS, PLEASE.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NEIGHBORS. I LOVE YOU AND I AGREE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN LIFESTYLE AND SEXUAL IDENTITY.
GREETINGS, MY NAME IS EVELYN BROOKS.
I RESIDE IN THIS BLESSED CITY.
[00:25:03]
I'M A PROUD WIFE, MOTHER, AND FOLLOWER OF JESUS.I DO NOT SUPPORT THE PROCLAMATION BY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, TEXAS IN HONOR OF FRISCO LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH.
I AND MANY OTHER AMERICANS HOLD STEADFAST AND REMAIN UNMOVED IN OUR CONVICTION THAT HOMOSEXUALITY AND TRANSGENDERISM ARE IMMORAL BEHAVIORS.
AND IT IS A DIRECT ATTACK AGAINST OUR TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES.
AS A PARENT, I WORK HARD TO TEACH MY CHILDREN TO FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLES OF THE WORD OF GOD.
I TEACH MY CHILDREN THE OPPOSITE OF PRIDE.
I TEACH THEM HUMILITY AND TO BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, I WILL NOT TOLERATE THE OVER SEXUALIZATION OF OUR CHILDREN.
RISKY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR MUST NOT BE VIEWED AS PRIDE TO OUR CHILDREN.
THESE ARE PRIVATE ADULT CHOICES.
AMERICAN EDUCATION HAS BECOME MORE ABOUT ADULTS RATHER THAN CHILDREN.
THEREFORE, I WANT TO REQUEST A FRISCO PROCLAMATION DEDICATED TO TRADITIONAL FAMILIES WITH TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN VALUES AND A LOVE FOR ALL PEOPLE DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE.
AM I PRONOUNCING IT CORRECTLY, KELLY?
>> HELLO. MY NAME IS KELLY NYDER.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF A GROUP CALLED PROTECT TEXAS KIDS.
I ORGANIZE THE PROTESTS AGAINST THIS GAY BAR EVENT THAT WE SAW LAST SATURDAY IN DALLAS.
I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN.
PRIDE MONTH IS INHERENTLY SEXUAL.
YOU CAN GO TO FESTIVALS AND PARADES AND EVENTS LIKE THIS PAST SATURDAY AND YOU CAN SEE THAT.
CHILDREN HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING AROUND IT, SO WHY ARE WE PROMOTING IT IN A SPACE WHERE CHILDREN ARE PRESENT? NOT JUST PHYSICALLY IN HERE, BUT WHY ARE WE ALL GIVING THE ENTIRE TOWN A MONTH OF IT.
OUR CHILDREN HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING INVOLVED IN THIS.
AND I SEE LOOKING AROUND THIS ROOM AND EVEN IN MY EXPERIENCES PROTESTING THESE EVENTS AND EVEN JUST WATCHING THE NEWS, I SEE SO MANY KIDS WHO SEEM TO BE FORCED INTO THIS LIFESTYLE.
YOUNG CHILDREN, THEY DON'T LOOK HAPPY AND YOU CAN TELL, IT'S EVEN JUST IN THIS ROOM, I CAN SEE SOME.
I DON T THINK WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING THIS AT ALL.
AND I THINK THAT TRADITIONAL FAMILIES ARE THE WAY TO GO AND WE SEE SO MUCH HARM IN FAMILIES THAT ARE NON-TRADITIONAL, THESE KIDS GROW UP AND THEY HAVE A LOAD OF ISSUES AND TRADITIONAL FAMILIES FIX THAT.
I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CELEBRATED.
WE SHOULD NOT BE IN HERE CLAPPING AND CHEERING THIS ON.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE IDENTIFIED AS LGBTQ+, INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD GET THEM MENTAL HEALTH.
YOU MAY LOOK AT THOSE OF US SPEAKING OUT RIGHT NOW AND THINK THAT IT'S FUNNY AND THAT WERE JUST CRAZY CONSERVATIVES, YOU'RE GOING TO PROBABLY IGNORE IT AND YOU'RE GOING TO BRUSH IT OFF.
BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT BRUSHED OFF.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS AND THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVER HAPPENED.
I ALREADY LIKE YOU. YOU'RE FAIRER MORE THAN OTHERS.
I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND SO MY GO-TO SOURCE FOR INFORMATION IS THE BIBLE AND THAT'S WHAT I TALK ABOUT.
I'M EVANGELIST, RIGHT? THAT'S THE WAY I SPEAK.
I WAS AN EVANGELIST, WAS IT 2016, I BELIEVE.
THE FIVE POLICEMEN WERE KILLED IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS AND I WENT AROUND PLAYING MY GUITAR, SAYING THE PRAYER OF SALVATION.
I WAS CALLED EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF BY THOSE PEOPLE THAT KILLED THE POLICE.
[00:30:05]
AFTER THAT, I SAW THAT WALMART SAID THEY WOULD BAN THE CONFEDERATE FLAG AND THEY WOULD START SELLING THE ANTIFA COP KILLER T-SHIRT SO THERE WOULD BE FREE SPEECH.OTHER DAY, I WENT IN WALMART, AND WALMART SELLING RAINBOW COLORED FLAG.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT FREE SPEECH? YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT INCLUSION? YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT EVERYBODY GETTING THE SAME CHANCE? THAT FLAG RIGHT THERE, IT MEANS TO ME, IT'S THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT.
LIKE COMMANDMENT THOU SHALT HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER, YOUR ANCESTORS, IF YOU WILL LIVE LONG IN THE LAND THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU.
AS WE'RE LOOKING AT $5 GASOLINE AND THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, WE LOOK LIKE WE'RE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
WE MAINTAIN OUR STATUES FOR TWO YEARS, I GUESS.
IF YOU WANT TO TEAR THAT DOWN AND EVERY STATUE AND EVERYTHING ELSE, GOD SAYS, WELL, I WON'T TO BE HERE.
THAT EVEN THE GROUND WOULD VOMIT US OUT.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY ANYBODY WOULD BE NOT AFRAID OF GOD BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE.
WHAT WALMART HAS DONE, IS THEY'VE TRADED COMMANDMENT NUMBER 5 FOR SODOM AND GOMORRAH LITERALLY.
THEY'VE TURNED AWAY FROM GOD, UTTERLY.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO DO.
THERE'S A CURSE THAT COMES FROM TEARING THOSE STATUES DOWN.
IT CAN'T BE ARGUED, COMMANDMENT NUMBER 5 IS BEFORE COMMANDMENT NUMBER 6.
THAT'S THE WORST SIN, TO TEAR THAT DOWN AND THE STATUES, STATUES OF MARRIAGE, CHOPPING THE HEADS OFF THEM, BURNING DOWN THE CHURCHES, WHATEVER.
IT CAN BE ARGUED THAT'S WORSE THAN ABORTION AND GOD [INAUDIBLE] KILL EVEN THEIR LIVESTOCK, EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD.
THERE'S A CURSE THAT COMES FROM THAT.
WATCHMAN ON THE WALL, THAT'S WHAT I AM.
YOU MIGHT SAY I'M BRINGING AWARENESS OF THESE ISSUES, USING FLAGS AND SIGNS AND PROMPTS TO SPEAK THE MESSAGE.
YOU COULD SAY, I'M BRINGING AWARENESS TO THE ISSUES, OR YOU CAN SAY I'M A WATCHMAN ON THE WALL, AND THAT GOD SENT ME.
THEY MIGHT NOT BELIEVE YOU, BUT YOU GO TELL THEM ANYWAY".
YOU GO TELL THEM AND YOU PRESERVE YOUR OWN LIFE OR YOUR OWN SOUL.
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, NOT TIKI TAKI, NOT STAR WARS, NOT SOME OTHER WAY OF GETTING INFORMATION OR HAVING FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS.
THE BIBLE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU ANYWAY.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE LISTENING TO ME, AREN'T YOU? I JUST KEEP SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S VERY GOOD.
I THINK YOU'RE A CUT ABOVE, YOU'RE BETTER THAN WALMART.
I'LL PUT IT THAT WAY. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I SALUTE YOU FOR THAT, ACTUALLY.
I WISH I COULD SAY STUFF THAT DOESN'T OFFEND PEOPLE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CAN'T COME ACROSS UNLESS YOU ARE OFFENDED, UNLESS THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL CONVICT YOUR HEART.
I'M SORRY, THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT WORKS.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO STAND FORWARD TO SPEAK THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THE DEVIL MAD.
THAT'S THE WAY THE GAME IS PLAYED.
JESUS SAID, I WAS PERSECUTED AND GUESS WHAT? SO ARE YOU GOING TO BE.
I'VE ENJOYED MY TIME HERE VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU, I'LL SAY THAT. [APPLAUSE]
>> IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN FILLING OUT A CARD, PLEASE DO SO NOW.
BUT THE LAST PART THAT WE HAVE THAT SPEAKS ON THIS ITEM, ITEM NUMBER 5 IS KEVIN WIT.
>> MY NAME IS KEVIN WIT. I LIVE IN FRISCO.
NO, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE GIVING MY ADDRESS.
PRIDE COMES BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND AN ARROGANT SPIRIT BEFORE THE FALL, PROVERBS 16:8.
SEE? WHERE I DIFFER FOR MOST PEOPLE IS, I LIVED IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY FOR 20 YEARS.
[NOISE] I WAS A TRANSSEXUAL IN '95 WHEN IT WASN'T COOL, IT WASN'T TRENDY AND I WAS BULLIED, AND MADE FUN OF.
IN THAT DAY, PEOPLE WERE TRULY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
YOU SEE THE HISTORY OF PRIDE IS,
[00:35:03]
GAY PRIDE STARTED IN JUNE 27TH IN 1970 TO COMMEMORATE THE STONEWALL RIOTS OF 1969 AS A GAY LIBERATION MOVEMENT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WERE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.BUT IN 2022, THE DAY THAT WE LIVE IN TODAY, THE LGBT PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
IN FACT, THE LGBT COMMUNITY IS CELEBRATED.
IT IS CELEBRATED TO THE FACT THAT IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM OR SAY ANYTHING AGAINST THE LGBT COMMUNITY, AND I HAVE PLENTY OF FRIENDS WHO ARE GAY AND DO NOT AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE ACTIONS OF TODAY, YOU WILL BE MARGINALIZED, DOXED, YOU CAN LOSE YOUR CAREER.
THE MOST MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY OF TODAY ARE THE FORMER HOMOSEXUALS, SUCH AS MYSELF, STRAIGHT PEOPLE AND CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.
WHEN YOU DEDICATE AN ENTIRE MONTH TO WHAT A PERSON DOES IN THE BEDROOM, IT IS DISCRIMINATORY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT PRACTICE THAT SEXUAL ACT.
ARE WE GOING TO START HAVING MONTHS DEDICATED TO OTHER SEXUAL ACTS SUCH AS BESTIALITY, AND PEDOPHILIA, OR ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE PROCLAMATIONS FOR BESTIALITY MONTH OR PEDOPHILIA MONTH? BECAUSE YOU HAVE ONE FOR ANOTHER SEXUAL ACT, THE ACT OF HOMOSEXUALITY.
WHEN WILL THERE BE A STRAIGHT PRIDE PROCLAMATION OR A NUCLEAR FAMILY PROCLAMATION? WE LIVE IN FRISCO.
WE LIVE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
TEXAS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE CONSERVATIVE MECCA OF THE COUNTRY.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE BEEN INUNDATED BY PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA WHO HAVE COME HERE AND TAKEN OVER OUR STATE, TAKEN OVER OUR CITIES AND HAVE BROUGHT THEIR LIBERAL POLITICS TO OUR CITIES.
LOVE IS LOVE AND LOVE DOES LOVE ALL, BUT SOME LOVE HURTS.
SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS AND LOVE IS TOUGH.
THE TRUTH IS THAT HOMOSEXUALITY ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THAT I LIVE MY LIFE BY, IS A SIN.
THANK YOU AND YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT DAY.
>> THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REGULAR CITIZEN INPUT, SO WE'VE GOT ONE MORE.
>> IT'S LIKE WE'VE GOT ONE MORE CARD FOR US SPEAKING ON ITEM 5.
>> HOW'S IT GOING? IF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW, THE MAYOR HERE, HE VIRTUE SIGNALS TO LITERALLY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.
HE WAS TAKING A KNEE IN 2020 FOR GEORGE FLOYD, MARCHING WITH THE BLM PROTESTERS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE WIDEST THING AND HISTORY IS? A BLM RALLY. IT'S JUST WHAT A COINCIDENCE? YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? IT'S AN ORGANIZATION FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS.
IT DOESN'T HELP BLACK PEOPLE AT ALL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO YOUR RESEARCH ON MAYOR CHENEY.
THEN ON TOP OF THAT, HE'S CELEBRATING THIS HOMOSEXUAL ACT FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH.
LAST TIME, I WASN'T EVEN FILMED; THAT THE CAMERA WASN'T EVEN FACING ME, IT WAS FACING MY BACK BECAUSE THE MAYOR IS SO SCARED OF ME BECAUSE I PUT HIM TO SHAME.
HE DID DISGRACE, AND I CALL HIM OUT WHEN HE DOES SOMETHING STUPID AS ALWAYS.
LET ME START OFF BY SAYING, HAPPY MENTAL ILLNESS MONTH, EVERYONE.
LET ME START OFF, GOD'S LAW IS PERFECT.
THE BIBLE SAYS IN PSALM 19: 7, "THE WICKED SHALL BE TURNED INTO HELL AND THE NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD." THE REASON THIS COUNTRY IS A COMPLETE JOKE IS BECAUSE IT HAS FORGOTTEN GOD; SODOMITES ARE BEING CELEBRATED WITH THINGS LIKE PRIDE PARADES AND DRAG QUEEN EVENTS FOR KIDS, SUCH AS A DRAG THE KIDS TO PRIDE EVENT THAT JUST HAPPENED IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS WHERE PARENTS BROUGHT THEIR LITTLE CHILDREN TO WATCH GROWN MEN WEAR LINGERIE AND FLAUNT THEMSELVES WHILE THINKING THEY'RE A WOMAN AND TIPPING THEM JUST LIKE AT A STRIP CLUB.
MEANWHILE, NUMEROUS POLICE OFFICERS WERE THERE.
HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF ARRESTING THESE PEDOPHILES, THESE SICK PERVERTS, WHAT THEY DID WAS PROTECT THEM, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SIT HERE AND PROTECT THE SICK PERVERTS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? AM I THE ONLY ONE IN THIS ROOM WHO ACTUALLY CARES? [BACKGROUND] LOOK AT THEM HISSING AND BOOING, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE.
THEY ARE DEMONS. THEY HISS AND BOO.
>> YEAH. YOU'RE GOING TO BE SAYING THAT IN THE PITS OF HELL.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE WISHING THAT YOU CALLED ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
>> ANYWAYS, THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS POSITION TO BEGIN WITH IS BECAUSE WE ALLOWED SODOMY AND WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED IT TO BEGIN WITH.
IT WENT FROM LEGALIZING SODOMY TO NOW CELEBRATING IT FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH,
[00:40:04]
FOR YEARS, THEY KEPT SAYING TO NORMALIZE IT, JUST MAKE IT NORMAL, WE WANT TO BE GAY.WELL, LET ME TELL YOU. IF YOU NEED TO NORMALIZE SOMETHING THAT'S PROBABLY NOT NORMAL FOR A GOOD, REASON. IT'S NOT NORMAL.
IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE END GOAL OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY IS TO NORMALIZE PEDOPHILIA, WHICH THE MEDIA AND HOLLYWOOD HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR YEARS, WHICH IS WHY IT HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL.
WHY DO YOU THINK THEY PUT IT IN SHOWS, LIKE WILL & GRACE, TO MAKE THE GAY GUY LOOKS FUN AND COOL. IT'S DISGUSTING.
IF THAT WASN'T THE GOAL, THEN WHY IS IT BEING TAUGHT IN K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS EVENTS INVOLVING CHILDREN AS WELL AS CHILDREN'S TV SHOWS.
THE ONLY ANSWER IS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE PEDOPHILES.
WHY DID THEY WANT TO BE AROUND KIDS SO BAD? WHY DO THEY WANT TO TEACH KIDS SO BAD? BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK PEDOPHILES.
WE NEED CHRIS HANSEN WITH DATELINE NBC RIGHT NOW, HONESTLY.
THE CDC SAYS THAT IN 2018, 86 PERCENT OF NEW DIAGNOSES AMONG MEN WHO CONTRACTED HIV WERE ATTRIBUTED TO MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN, SO GAY MEN, NOT TO MENTION, THEIR AVERAGE LIFESPAN ISN'T EVEN 60 YEARS, AND YOU WONDER WHY NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY.
SODOMITES LOVE TO QUOTE, ONE BIBLE VERSE.
WELL, IF I LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, I WOULDN'T TOLERATE YOU SICK PERVERTS, AND I DON'T LOVE ANYBODY THAT HATES GOD.
THE BIBLE CONDEMNS HOMOSEXUALITY OVER AND OVER IN THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT BECAUSE I LOVE HOW THEY SAY, WELL, IT'S OLD TESTAMENT.
WELL IT'S THE NEW TESTAMENT TOO CLOWNS.
ROMANS CHAPTER 1 OF THE NEW TESTAMENT VERSES 27 AND 28, AND IT SAYS, "AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMAN BURNED IN THEIR LUST, ONE TOWARD ANOTHER.
MEN WITH MEN WORKING WHICH IS UNSEEMLY AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECUMBENTS OF THEIR ERROR, WHICH WAS MEAT.
AND EVEN AS THEY DID NOT LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND TO DO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT." GO BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT 1ST KINGS 14: 24.
"AND THERE WERE ALSO SODOMITES IN THE LAND AND THEY DID ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE NATIONS." IT SAYS, ABOMINATIONS.
ARE YOU STUPID, MAYOR? IT SAYS ABOMINATIONS.
AMEN. "IF A MAN ALSO LIE WITH MANKIND AS HE LIED WITH A WOMAN, BOTH OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED AN ABOMINATION.
THEY SHALL SURELY BE PUT TO DEATH.
THEIR BLOOD SHALL BE UPON THEM." DO YOU HEAR THAT? THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S AN ABOMINATION.
DO IT OLD TESTAMENT, GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL.
LOOK, I SUPPORT UKRAINE, OH, LOOK.
>> THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR CITIZEN INPUT.

>> I'M JUST SAYING. [LAUGHTER]
>> I'LL BE LISTENING TO THE R&B.
>> MR. MAYOR, I THINK WE HAVE ONE MORE PERSON THAT WANTS TO SPEAK BEFORE WE GO. MR. DAVIS.
I AM SUPER EXCITED THAT ALL HAS HAPPENED IN FRESCO SINCE JULIAN I MOVED HERE IN 2003.
THE ISD IS MAKING MOST OF MY FOUR KIDS PRETTY SMART.
THEN THERE'S THAT FANCY STUFF THAT WELL, IT'S NOT MY CUP OF TEA, BUT IT'S KEEPING MY PROPERTY TAXES LOW, SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE FANCY STUFF YOU DO.
THIS GROUNDBREAKING NEWS I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU IS TO NOT FORGET SLOWER FRESCO.
JR. NEWMAN PARK, IT'S AN 11 ACRE PARK AND HAS A FEW BENCHES RIGHT BY THE PLAYGROUND AREA.
TO ME, I MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR BENCHES OR PICNIC TABLES TO BE PLACED ALL AROUND ALLOWING US RANDOM CITIZENS A PLACE TO SIT AND UNWIND.
I WANT COUNSEL TO GIVE PARKS AND REC BAGS AND BAGS OF MONEY.
I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME STUDIES OF OTHER CITIES AND LOOK TO PLACE BIKE RACKS, BENCHES, PICNIC TABLES, AND POSSIBLY SHADE ALL OF OUR FRESCO.
WE CAN LOOK AT THE FIELDS PROJECT FOR WHAT GREAT THINGS IS COMING FROM THIS.
YOU CAN TELL IT I GET NERVOUS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, SO I WILL LET YOU GO. [APPLAUSE].
>> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT?
>> WELL, TAMMY GETS APPLAUSE TO TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS AND JOSH SPEAKS AT TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS CONSECUTIVELY.
MY NAME IS JOSH MIKA, RESIDE AT 8625 HICKORY STREET, UNIT 2229 FRISCO, TEXAS 75034.
I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF SPEAKING TONIGHT, AND I THINK MY ONLY REGRET IS ACTUALLY PROBABLY NOT SAYING SOMETHING SOONER.
WE WERE RAISED. THERE'S FIVE KIDS IN MY FAMILY.
I'M A FIFTH GENERATION TEXAN, REPUBLICAN, VOTED FOR THE LAST PROBABLY 14 YEARS OF MY LIFE AS A REPUBLICAN.
WE WERE TAUGHT AND BROUGHT UP WITH THE PRINCIPLE THAT BAD PROSPERS WHEN GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING.
I THINK BACK TO A TIME AND SOME OF THE STORIES THAT MY DAD TOLD ME ABOUT SEGREGATION THAT WAS NOT LONG AGO IN A CERTAIN PARTICULAR RACE WAS PERSECUTED FOR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
IT USED TO BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A WHITE MAN TO WALK WITH A BLACK WOMAN AND A BLACK WOMAN TO WALK WITH A WHITE MAN THAT WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT QUITE EVOLVED IN UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLE OF WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY SO GREAT.
[00:50:05]
I WAS BACK THERE STANDING AND HEARING COMMENTS FROM BOTH SIDES TONIGHT.HOW GREAT IS IT THAT MEN AND WOMEN HAVE LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES SO THAT EVERYBODY COULD STAND HERE AND SPEAK REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY STOOD AND WHAT THEIR OPINION WAS.
[NOISE] BUT THE HEARTBREAKING PIECE AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES COMES FROM GANDHI.
THE QUOTE GOES, I LOVE YOUR CHRIST, BUT I HATE YOUR CHRISTIANS.
FROM SOMEONE THAT HAS STUDIED PSYCHOLOGY, HAS STUDIED WORLD RELIGION, READ AND STUDIED DIFFERENT RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD, AND UNDERSTANDING AND BEING BROUGHT UP WITH A CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND, THE CHRIST THAT I WAS TAUGHT ABOUT, WHAT WOULD HE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE REPRESENTING HIS RELIGION, OF LOVE, OF ACCEPTANCE? I GO BACK TO THE STORY OF WHERE HE'S AT THE WELL.
THERE'S A PROSTITUTE, SHE SELLS HERSELF AND SHE BECOMES A FRIEND OF CHRIST AND CHRIST EMBRACE HER.
IT'S JUST A REALLY HARD STRUGGLE TONIGHT.
THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE REPRIMANDING ANOTHER PIECE OF OUR GROUP IN SOCIETY WHO HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO STAND HERE BECAUSE IN THEIR PRIVATE HOMES, PEOPLE HAVE DIED, PEOPLE HAS SACRIFICED FOR THEM TO HAVE THAT RIGHT.
IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S PLACE TO COME IN AND TELL YOU WHICH RELIGION IS CORRECT.
IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S PLACE TO COME IN AND TELL YOU WHICH SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS CORRECT.
THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY AND THIS COMMUNITY SO BEAUTIFUL.
BUT SO MUCH TONIGHT HAS BEEN THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I THINK, "CHRIST MESSAGE IS" VERSUS CONDEMNATION.
IT SHOULD BE MORE FROM A PLACE OF LOVE AND TRYING TO EMBRACE AND CORRECT, DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF THE TOPIC YOU ARE TAKING.
BUT SO MUCH HATE FROM THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND THIS COUNCIL MEETING.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND AS A REPUBLICAN, A REGISTER VOTED REPUBLICAN, THAT'S BEEN INVOLVED AS A PRECINCT CHAIR AS THE ASSISTANT TREASURER FOR REPUBLICAN COLLIN COUNTY PARTY, HOW SO MUCH HATE INSTEAD OF LEADING THE WAY WITH LOVE AND BY EXAMPLE, WE'RE DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU'RE CHRIST TELLS YOU TO DO AND WHAT A PARTY TECHNICALLY AT THE CORE PRINCIPLE WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN, TELLS YOU TO DO.
I JUST WISH THAT I WOULD'VE SPOKE UP SOONER WHEN THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE HERE EARLIER.
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS.
WE ALL HAVE FREEDOMS, WE HAVE RIGHTS.
THANK GOODNESS THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND SACRIFICED, PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST SONS, DAUGHTERS, BROTHERS, SISTERS SO WE CAN ALL STAND UP HERE AND VOICE OUR OPINION REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE OF THE AISLE THAT WE'RE ON.
THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY. [APPLAUSE]
>> ANYONE ELSE I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REPORTS SECTION.
[6. Library Report on monthly statistics and activities.]
ITEM FIVE OR SIX IS OUR LIBRARY REPORT.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
YOU HAVE A REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT I DO HAVE ONE SLIDE AND THAT IS TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT SUMMER READING HAS STARTED AND THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US.
ACTIVITIES ARE CONTINUING AS A LIBRARY FOR ALL AGES AND IF YOU WANT TO REGISTER, YOU CAN GO TO THE LIBRARY'S WEBSITE, CLICK ON THE LINK THAT WE'RE SHOWING IN THE SLIDE HERE, AND YOU CAN START REGISTERING WHAT YOU READ AND EARN PRIZES AND THE GREAT SATISFACTION OF HELPING YOUR CHILDREN NOT LOSE THEIR READING LEVELS DURING THE SUMMER, IT'S CALLED THE SUMMER SLIDE.
WHEN READING LEVELS RETRACT DURING THE SUMMER AS KIDS STOP READING AND START DOING OTHER THINGS.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAM IS KEEP KIDS READING SKILLS UP AND RUNNING SO THEY'RE READY FOR SCHOOL IN THE NEW YEAR.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>> BUT I DID WANT TO SHARE A CUTE STORY REGARDING THE SUMMER READING CHALLENGE, WHICH I WAS ACTUALLY VISITING A CLIENT IN THEIR HOME AND BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WELL-BEHAVED, SITTING ON THE COUCH READING THE ENTIRE TIME THAT WE WERE VISITING.
AT THE END, THE MOTHER BASICALLY SAID, HEY, DO YOU KNOW THIS IS MAYOR CHENEY? THEY WERE LIKE, YES, WE'VE BEEN HERE READING TO GET OUR POINTS [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] CHILD.
[00:55:01]
THEY WERE CLEARLY SHOWING OFF. [LAUGHTER]>> BUT NO, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
COUNCIL, WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, DO YOU HAVE?
>> ACTUALLY, I DO HAVE A REAL QUICK QUESTION.
I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL, BUT IT WAS LATE YESTERDAY AND YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GET TO IT.
IF SOMEBODY HAD A BUNCH OF BOOKS THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO DONATE TO THE LIBRARY, HOW WOULD THEY GO ABOUT DOING IT?
>> ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BRING THEM DURING LIBRARY HOURS.
THEY GO TO THE FRIENDS, THE FRIENDS GO THROUGH THEM, AND WE'LL LOOK THROUGH THEM, THOSE THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE LIBRARY COLLECTION WE ADD, THOSE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE DUPLICATES OF OR FOR WHATEVER ANY OTHER REASON WE MIGHT NOT ADD, THE FRIENDS TAKE AND SELL IN THEIR USE BOOK SALE.
EITHER WAY IT BENEFITS THE LIBRARY, THE FUNDS RAISED FROM THE FRIEND'S BOOK SALES THEN GO TO ENHANCEMENTS IN THE LIBRARY COLLECTION.
YOU CAN WALK THROUGH LIBRARY AND POINT TO DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THE FRIENDS HAVE BOUGHT FOR US OVER THE YEARS BASED ON THE FUNDS THEY'VE RAISED FROM THE BOOK BOOK SALE.
>> YOU MIGHT GET A TRUCKLOAD DELIVERY SOON.
>> SOUNDS GREAT. PLEASE BRING THEM IN BOXES OR BAGS, NOT JUST ONE AT A TIME.
>> NO. I'LL BRING THEM IN BOXES. THANK YOU.
>> SHELLY, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEENS TO GET INVOLVED DURING THE SUMMER IN THE LIBRARY?
>> THERE ARE. I DO HAVE TO TELL YOU IT'S A LITTLE LATE, BUT YES, PLEASE, TEENS CAN GO ONLINE AND REGISTER FOR OUR TEEN ADVISORY PANEL OR THEY CAN GO ONLINE TO REGISTER AS VOLUNTEENS.
YOU CAN GO ONTO THE LIBRARY'S WEBSITE AND GO TO THE VOLUNTEEN PAGE.
IN FACT, YOU MAY NOTICE OVER THE YEARS THAT WHEN THE CITY DOES THE VOLUNTEER CELEBRATION THERE'S QUITE A NUMBER OF TEENS THAT ARE ACKNOWLEDGED FOR THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT THEY DO BECAUSE OF THE VOLUNTEER WORK THEY DO WITH THE LIBRARY.
WE HAVE THEM HELP US WITH OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS AND THEN OTHER ACTIVITIES.
THEN WE HAVE THE TAB, WHICH IS THE TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, WHICH ARE ALSO TEEN VOLUNTEERS, WHO HELPED ORGANIZE ACTIVITIES FOR TEENS AND ADVISE THE LIBRARY ON INTERESTS THAT TEENS HAVE THAT HELP US PROVIDE ACTIVITIES AND COLLECTIONS THAT ARE RELATABLE FOR TEENS.
>> THEN WE'LL MOVE US INTO ITEM SEVEN,
[7. 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.
LEGACY DRIVE THEY'RE GOING SWITCH TRAFFIC ONTO THE NEW PAVEMENT ON JUNE 8TH, WHICH IS TOMORROW.
AT LEAST THAT'S THE PLAN. THERE'LL BE MESSAGE BOARDS OUT AND IT'S A MILESTONE IN THE PROGRESS OF THAT PROJECT.
THEN WE'LL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.
THEN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE SPECIAL EVENTS AT OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STAFF HAS BEEN HELPING WITH.
THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS CHART, BUT IN MAY THERE WAS A PERIOD WE HAD ABOUT 14 EVENTS AND A COUPLE OF DAYS AND MANY GRADUATIONS.
WE HAD ABOUT 83,000 PEOPLE THAT WENT TO THESE DIFFERENT EVENTS AND MANY MET THE STAR.
WE HAD THE FC DALLAS AND THEN ANOTHER CONCERT.
ABOUT 230 HOURS OF OUR STAFF TIME WORKING WITH POLICE AND FIRE AND COORDINATING.
BUT WE'VE GOT FOLKS THAT ARE MANNING OUR CAMERAS AND OUR SIGNAL SYSTEM OPERATIONS SO THAT WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS WE WERE EMPTYING THESE EVENTS OUT AND YOU CAN SEE THE CLEAR TIME THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WATCH IS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CLEAR AN EVENT.
PEOPLE WILL ARRIVE SLOWLY, BUT THEY ALL WANT TO LEAVE AT THE SAME TIME.
WE USE THAT AS A PERFORMANCE METRIC.
A LOT OF THANKS TO OUR STAFF FOR BEING ON HAND TO HELP THOSE EVENTS.
THEN WE HAD SOME FOLKS FROM PUBLIC WORKS WHO WERE RECIPIENTS OF THE CITY'S QUARTERLY CORE VALUES AWARDS.
WE HAVE SOME FOLKS FROM OUR STORMWATER TEAM, THERE BRANDON AND HECTOR, JORDAN AND FRANKIE FOR SOME OF THEIR WORK WITH BEAVER DAMS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THEY CAME UP WITH INNOVATIVE WAY TO WORK WITH THE BEAVERS TO DISCOURAGE THEM AND ASK THEM TO MOVE ON.
IT WAS HUMANE PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE.
THEN ALSO WITH THANIA TREVINO, CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.
WE'VE GONE TO ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW AND THAT GOES FOR, SO IT'S NOT JUST THE LEARNING CURVE ON THE CITY STAFF PART, BUT ALSO THE CONTRACTORS THAT YOU USE THESE SYSTEMS.
[01:00:03]
THANIA HELPED OUT OUR IRRIGATORS OVER THERE AND SPOKE TO LARGE GROUP AND TOOK THEIR QUESTIONS.IT'S NOT REALLY IN HER WORK AREA, BUT SHE TOOK AN INTEREST IN HELPING THAT.
ALL OF THESE FOLKS WERE NOMINATED BY THEIR PEERS.
THEY DIDN'T TURN THEMSELVES IN, SO I JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE WORTH RECOGNIZING THEM.
THEN ALSO FROM OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, JUST A REMINDER, EMPTY, CLEAN AND DRY IS WHAT GOES INTO THE RECYCLE BINS AND THEN BAG YOUR TRASH, AND THEN BAG YOUR RECYCLE MATERIAL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST POUR IT INTO THE CANS AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF WIND THIS YEAR.
ON TRASH COLLECTION DAYS YOU WILL SEE STUFF STREWN ABOUT THIS TREE BECAUSE THERE'S A POINT IN TIME WHEN THEY'RE DUMPING INTO THE TRUCKS THAT WIND CATCHES FLYWAYS AND THROWS IT OUT.
THIS IS JUST A REMINDER TO FOLKS TO BAG THEIR TRASH AND THEIR RECYCLE ITEMS. THEN LASTLY, OUR TEXAS PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION STATEWIDE IS HAVING THEIR ANNUAL CONFERENCE HERE NEXT WEEK, I BELIEVE MAYOR CHENEY IS GOING TO HAVE A COUPLE OF OPENING REMARKS FOR US ON MONDAY MORNING.
PEOPLE WILL START ROLLING IN ON SUNDAY AND IT WILL GO THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ROUGH RIDERS BALLGAME.
THERE'S SOME BOWLING IT STRIKES.
THEN SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THERE WE'VE GOT OVER 60 DIFFERENT TECHNICAL SESSIONS.
THERE'LL BE ABOUT 500 ATTENDEES AT THE EMBASSY SUITES FROM ALL OVER THE STATE OF TEXAS.
IT'S A GOOD FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO AND YOU CAN SEE THE LOGO THAT CAME UP THERE FROM THE PLANNING COMMITTEE WITH THAT.
>> THANK YOU, PAUL. I WILL SAY THE BEAVER PROGRESS AND MOTION VIDEO MAY BE MY FAVORITE VIDEO WE'VE EVER MADE.
AT OUR LUNCHEON, THEY SHARED THE STORY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS THAT THEY HAD TO GO TO YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO GET RID OF THESE VIDEOS.
BUT THEY'RE CONTRAPTION THAT CAME UP WITH THEY HAD A NAME FOR IT. DO YOU REMEMBER THE NAME?
>> BEAVER DECEIVER, IS WHAT IT WAS.
>> I JUST WANTED YOU TO HAVE TO SAY IT, BEAVER DECEIVER. [LAUGHTER]
>> WELL, AND THEN WE GET A WEEKLY REPORT FROM OUR STORMWATER TEAM AND THEY PUT SOME HUMOROUS THINGS IN THERE FROM TIME TO TIME.
AT ONE POINT THEY INSTALLED IT AND THEN THE BEAVERS CAME BACK TO WORK THE NEXT NIGHT.
THEY KEPT A SCORE BEAVERS 1, STORMWATER 2, 0.
[LAUGHTER] AS THEY WENT ON, WE SHOWED PROGRESS AND IT WAS WORKING.
THE COMMENT WAS THAT THE BEAVERS DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A COMMENT AFTER THE GAME.
SORE LOSERS AND WENT ON SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I DO KNOW A LOT OF PROGRESS ON LEGACY DRIVE, NEAR 121, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO SWITCH TRAFFIC OR HAS THAT ALREADY HAPPENED?
>> IT SHOULD. THE SCHEDULE'S TOMORROW.
>> THEN TOWN AND COUNTRY IS THE SAME.
NOT SURE EXACTLY THE DATE THAT TOWN AND COUNTRY, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING PEOPLE ON THE NEW PAYMENT ON THAT STRETCH ALSO.
>> WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE?
>> THANK YOU, SIR. THAT WILL 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.]
ON PARKS AND REC REPORT.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT I MISS THE BEAVER VIDEO.
I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH THAT.
SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN INVOLVED WITH.
[LAUGHTER] YOU HAVE A COPY OF OUR REPORT THERE.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES, OUR RADICAL EVENTS, SO WE'LL PLAY RADICALLY OR BACKUP.
WE'RE REALLY EXTREMELY EXCITED TO HOST OUR NEXT BMX COMPETITION, WHICH OF COURSE BMX IS BICYCLES, WHICH WILL BE THE SUMMER JAM, AND IT'S ON JUNE 18TH.
IF YOU'RE NOT INTO SKATEBOARDING, BUT YOU'RE INTO BMX, PLEASE COME OUT AND JOIN US.
WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON NORTHWEST AND FRISCO AND THE GREEN COMMUNITY PARKS.
ACTUALLY THIS THURSDAY HERE IN THE ATRIUM AT CITY HALL, WE'LL BE HOSTING YET ANOTHER COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE US FEEDBACK ON THE DESIGNS THAT WE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH ITERATIONS ON.
IT'LL BE HERE THURSDAY FROM 06:00-7:00 PM.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME EXCITING THINGS COMING.
CANNADAY RECREATION AREA, WE'RE GETTING VERY CLOSE.
OUR COMPLETION DATE IS ACTUALLY SCHEDULED TO BE NEXT MONTH, YES JULY, I DIDN'T THINK WHAT MONTH WE WERE IN, JULY OF 2022.
THIS ONE IS REALLY A UNIQUE REINVESTMENT AND A PLAYGROUND.
OF COURSE, CLARK MIDDLE SCHOOL IS NEARBY.
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE REALLY COLLABORATED TO MAKE BASICALLY A FITNESS PARK FOR THE KIDS TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY.
PUBLIC ART, OF COURSE, REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY SO AS WE HAVE
[01:05:02]
OUR CONSERVATORS AND THEY CONTINUE TO DO GREAT WORK FOR US.THESE ARE THE THREE MOST RECENT PIECES THAT HAVE BEEN REDONE WITH FIVE MORE TO COME IN JULY.
THEN OF COURSE, THE PARK OPERATIONS STAFF ARE ALWAYS QUITE BUSY AND SO THEY'VE BEEN SPENDING QUITE A BIT OF TIME, OF COURSE NOW IS MOWING SEASON.
BUT IN ADDITION TO MOWING, THEY'VE ALSO DONE SOME IMPROVEMENTS HERE AROUND CITY HALL AND ALSO AT THE HERITAGE TO HELP WITH DRAINAGE AND SOME DIFFERENT THINGS IN PARTNERSHIP ACTUALLY WITH THE GARDEN CLUB.
THEN THE LAST THING IS WE ALWAYS LIKE TO CATCH PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING GOOD.
WHENEVER WE HOLD MEETINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OUR BREAK IS ALWAYS, MAKE GOOD CHOICES.
AS THE STAFF ARE OUT, WE'RE ALWAYS ENCOURAGING THEM TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES AND PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE.
JOSEPH BROWN OUR CERTIFIED APPLICATOR ACTUALLY WASN'T MADE IN TEAL AND REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A DOWN TRAIL AND JUMPED OUT OF HIS TRUCK TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T A PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE IN THE ROADWAY.
WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>> I'LL DO MY MONTHLY PLUG FOR ROLL WITH COUNCIL, WHICH IS THE SATURDAY, WE'LL BE LEAVING FROM THE NORTHEAST COMMUNITY PARK.
LOTS OF COOL ARTWORK ON THIS ONE.
IF ANYBODY WANTS TO COME OUT AND LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT YOU MAY NOT NORMALLY SEE COME OUT AND RIDE WITH US.
>> ALSO NOT A QUESTION, BUT I DID GET A CHALLENGE FROM THE PARKS AND REC BOARD THAT THEIR COMMUNITY GARDEN LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN OURS.
>> AS IN THEY'VE STARTED? [LAUGHTER] I WAS GOING TO SAY, AS IF THEY'VE DONE SOMETHING AND WE'VE DONE NOTHING?
>> THERE'S A WEED STICKING OUT OF ART. THAT'S IT.
>> I THINK THE TWO PEOPLE THAT VOLUNTEERED FOR THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD.
>> YEAH, I AGREE, MAYOR CHENEY.
>> I CAN TELL YOU ON THE BACKSIDE THAT THE PARK AND REC BOARD IS VERY ACTIVE AT THE COMMUNITY GARDEN.
IN FACT, 87 PERCENT OF THE BEDS THERE ARE LEASED.
THE PARK AND REC BOARD HAS RECENTLY APPROACHED ME TO MAKE THEM A LITTLE SIGN SO IT CAN BECOME APPARENT THAT IS THEIRS AND SO CHALLENGE ON.
>> WE WILL GET TO THAT BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER.
>> WHAT IS THE BEST HARVEST SEASON IF WE'RE GOING TO PICK UP MONTHS, IS THAT [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU SHOULD HAVE PLANTED A MONTH AGO.
>> WE'LL HELP THE PEOPLE IN THE GARDEN CLUB.
>> WELL, THAT'S THE HALF THE BOARD, THE PARKS AND REC TEAM IS IN THE GARDEN CLUB, SO THEY DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADVANTAGE.
>> IS AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, A GOOD MONTH.
>> YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAN HERE ALMOST YEAR ROUND SO WE CAN, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO TALK OFFLINE, WE CAN HELP YOU WITH WHAT YOU MIGHT PUT IT IN THERE.
>> I WILL MAKE OUR PUBLIC COMMITMENT THAT AS PART OF QUESTION, I THINK IT'S EITHER AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER.
WE WILL DO A TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY DURING THAT, WHERE WE START OUR GARDENS.
>> WE WILL PUT THAT IN WRITING AND WE WILL MAKE YOU ASSIGN AS WELL IF YOU'D LIKE.
>> YOU HEARD IT HERE. [LAUGHTER]
>> HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE TO DO?
>> HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE TO BUDGET FOR THAT? LIKE 20 MINUTES? [LAUGHTER]
>> MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.
THERE WILL BE WATERING RESPONSIBILITIES.
I WILL GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT TOO.
THE DISCUSSION AT THE PARK AND REC BOARD HAS NOT BEEN NECESSARILY THAT THEY ARE WATERING, BUT THEY HAVE CHILDREN.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT THERE AND TO PULL WEEDS AND TO GIVE IT WATER AND ALL THOSE WONDERFUL THINGS TO MAKE THINGS WELL.
>> WE'LL GET ON IT. WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 9,

ITEM 33 IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST TO APPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 82-05-07 AND REZONE
[33. Public Hearing: A request to repeal Ordinance No. 82-05-07 and rezone 327.4± acres on the northwest corner of Custer Road and Main Street ("Property"), from Commercial-1, Multifamily-15, Two Family, and Single Family-7 to Planned Development-Single Family-12.5/Single Family-8.5/Single Family-7/Patio Home (Subarea 1), Planned Development-Multifamily (Subarea 2), and Planned Development-Retail (Subarea 3), to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), and to consider to direct Staff to prepare Ordinances of the same. Zoned Commercial-1, Multifamily-15, Two Family, and Single Family-7. Neighborhood #15. Zoning Case No. Z21-0022. Applicant: Kimley-Horn and Associates. (Development Services/JH)]
327.4 ACRES ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CUSTER ROAD AND MAIN STREET FROM COMMERCIAL ONE, MULTI-FAMILY 15, 2 FAMILIES, SINGLE-FAMILY 7, TO PLAN THE DEVELOPMENT SINGLE-FAMILY 12.5, SINGLE-FAMILY 8.5, SINGLE-FAMILY 7, PATIO HOME, SUB AREA, ONE.PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIFAMILY SUB AREA 2, AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT PF RETAIL SUBAREA 3 TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 HAS AMENDED AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE ORDINANCES OF THE SAME, ZONE COMMERCIAL; ONE, MULTIFAMILY; 15, 2 FAMILY, AND SINGLE-FAMILY; 7, NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 15, ZONING CASE NUMBER Z21-0022, APPLICANT KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES.
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, THIS ZONING CASE WAS APPROVED BEFORE THE CITY BECAME A HOME RURAL CITY.
SO [LAUGHTER] 1982 TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW LONG AGO THIS ZONING HAD BEEN APPROVED.
MAYOR, JOHN, BILL, YOU'D BE FAMILIAR WITH THE HISTORY ON THIS PROPERTY AS WE HAD WORKED WITH NEWLAND OVER SEVERAL YEARS.
TIM JERRY, WHO IS NOW HEADING THIS PROJECT, HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH AS WE CAME TO THIS ZONING REQUEST COMPARED TO WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE.
THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY, IT HAS A POTENTIAL TO ALLOW ABOUT JUST OVER A 1,000 GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS.
THAT'S BASED ON THE GARTNER AGREEMENT.
ORIGINALLY, WHEN THIS PROPERTY WAS ZONED, IT WOULD ALLOW ALMOST 3,000 UNITS.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS DONE BACK IN 2002 THAT REDUCED IT TO 1,439 AND THEN WHEN THE ZONING OCCURRED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN WHERE THEY HAVE SOME MULTIFAMILY, WHICH THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THE SAME THING ON THIS ONE, MEETING THE SAME STANDARDS, THAT WAS FURTHER REDUCED.
SO THE APPROVAL OF THIS ZONING CASE WOULD GRANT THEM 425 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, BUT THEY BUILT AT AN URBAN STYLE IN THE PARK AND BE LOCATED IN THE BACK.
IF THIS IS APPROVED AND THE AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS DONE, IT ELIMINATES 590 POTENTIAL APARTMENTS FROM THE PROPERTY.
A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT ON THE LOCATOR MAP THAT EXIST ON THE PROPERTY, THEY'RE ALONG INDEPENDENCE.
IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, THERE'S A LOT OF TREES LOCATED ALONG THERE.
THERE'S A SIDEWALK THAT WAS PUT IN SOME TIME AGO.
NEWLAND HAS AGREED TO TAKE OUT THAT SIDEWALK AND WEAVE A TRAIL UP THROUGH THE TREES, SIMILAR TO THE HIGH COMEBACK TRAIL THAT RUNS THROUGH HUNTER'S CREEK JUST SOUTH OF OLIVER ROAD.
THE DEVELOPER HAS SIGNED THE VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF TRAILS STOPS THERE.
IT WAS BUILT WHEN SHATTUCK DEVELOPED THE PROPERTY.
THEY WILL EXTEND THE TRAIL THROUGH HERE.
THERE'S A TRAIL ALONG HERE ALONG CUSTER AND MAIN STREET AND INDEPENDENCE THAT THEY'LL BE WORKING ON.
THE LOTS THERE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED ARE THE PATTI HOME 40-FOOT WIDE LOTS, 125 MAX.
THE PATTI HOME 50-FOOT WIDE LOTS, A 100 MAX, AND THE 55 IS 215 MAX.
BUT ON THE SINGLE-FAMILY SEVEN, A MINIMUM OF 201.
SINGLE FAMILY 8.5, 8,500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, THAT'D BE 110, THAT'S THE MINIMUM, AND IN THE SINGLE-FAMILY 12, A MINIMUM OF 21, SO TOTAL OF 745 BLOCKS ON THE PROPERTY.
THIS COMES OUT TO BE ABOUT A DENSITY OF ABOUT THREE UNITS TO THE ACRE.
I MENTIONED ABOUT THE MULTIFAMILY.
THE MINIMUM OPEN SPACE THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED BASED ON THE PROPOSED ZONING WOULD BE AROUND 21 ACRES.
THEY'RE PROPOSING 37 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE.
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PARKS.
REGARDING THE PARKS, I WORKED WITH SHANNON.
ORIGINALLY AN EARLIER PLAN WAS SHOWN AN EIGHT-ACRE PARK.
SHANNON WAS AGREEABLE TO SPLIT THAT INTO TWO,
[01:15:04]
SO I'LL BRING UP THE LAND USE PLAN.THIS IS ONE PARK HERE, APPROXIMATELY FOUR ACRES, AND THEN ANOTHER PARK LOCATED HERE.
WHAT THIS PLAN DOES, PUTS MORE PARK SPACE OR OPEN SPACE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FUTURE RESIDENTS ON THIS PROPERLY.
HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS, ONE RUNS ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS ONE TIES INTO THE ONE THAT I'VE JUST MENTIONED COMES DOWN HERE.
YOU HAVE HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS THAT RUN ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE SIDE.
SO VERY WELL CONNECTED, EVERYTHING'S INTERCONNECTED ON THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE MULTIFAMILY FAMILY IS NOT SEPARATED FROM THE RETAIL OR SINGLE-FAMILY, IT'S INTEGRATED JUST AS IT WAS DONE TO THE SOUTH.
[NOISE] PRESERVING MORE OF THE TRIG ROW THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED BACK IN 2016 WHEN WE HAD A JOINT WORK SESSION BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DISCUSS THIS SITE.
THOSE ARE THE MAIN POINTS ON THIS ZONING CASE, SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND THAT'S IT.
COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING? MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
SECOND? SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
MOTION PASSES 5-0, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I THINK THEN MOVED CLOSE.
SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
JOHN, I JUST WANT TO, ON BEHALF OF COUNCIL, JUST THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR THE MANY YEARS AND MANY HOURS ON THESE PROJECTS.
THIS PROJECT ITSELF I THINK COULD'VE MADE A CAREER FOR A LOT OF PLANNING DIRECTORS.
THOSE OF US THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR FIVE PLUS MORE YEARS KNOW THIS WAS BAD ZONING.
IT WAS TERRIBLE ZONING IN THE CITY OF FRISCO THAT WAS DONE A LONG TIME AGO.
COUNCIL COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO JUST THROW UP OUR HANDS AND SAY, SORRY, IT WASN'T OUR FAULT, IT WAS BAD ZONING 30, 40 YEARS AGO AND WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT COUNCIL DID, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DID.
IT WAS CONTINUE TO WORK AND WORK AND WORK, AND YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED AMAZING FEAT.
WHAT TURNED INTO A MASSIVE PARCEL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY UNINSPIRING AND QUITE FRANKLY, A DETRIMENTAL PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE AREA HAS TURNED INTO SOMETHING REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
I THANK THE APPLICANT, KIMLEY-HORN, OF COURSE, OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER FOR WORKING WITH US FOR THE LAB.
THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SINCE BEFORE I WAS MARRIED.
I REMEMBER THAT SITTING IN THE MEETINGS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, SO SEVEN PLUS YEARS WORKING THROUGH THE ZONING CASES TO GET IT HERE.
THERE COULD HAVE BEEN 3,000 GARDEN STYLE APARTMENTS ON THIS TRACK, AND NOW IT WAS REDUCED IN HALF MANY YEARS AGO, AND THEN IN HALF AGAIN, AND THEN JUST WORKING FOR BETTER OUTCOMES.
I PERSONALLY APPRECIATE YOUR DILIGENCE, STAFF DILIGENCE FOR PUTTING UP THE GOOD FIGHT FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THIS AREA. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
WELL, I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK ON TIM'S PART AND HIS TEAM TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE, AND THEN FOR SHANNON TO AGREE TO SPLIT UP THE TWO PARKS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, I THINK IN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES, THE TERM DEVELOPER IS A NEGATIVE TERM, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
IF YOU'RE A CITY THAT ATTRACTS THE BEST OF THE BEST, THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO LEGACY PROJECTS THAT WANT TO BE PROUD OF THEIR WORK AND HAVE PLACE-MAKING, THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO BUSINESS IN FRISCO, THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO THE HARD WORK.
THOSE THAT DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, THAT WANT TO PULL OFF A PLAN OFF THE TOP SHELF AND DO THE SAME THING THEY'VE DONE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES AND GET IN AND OUT AND MAKE A BUGGY AND LEAVE TOWN, THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN DOING BUSINESS IN FRISCO, AND WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT.
I KNOW WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PLANNING AND ZONING MEMBERS HERE, I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THE HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK THEY'VE PUT INTO THIS CASE, HELPING GET THIS TO THE FINISH LINE.
AGAIN, JUST THANK OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER FOR WORKING WITH THE CITY IN CREATING SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SAY WE'RE PROUD OF AS A COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU AGAIN. COUNCIL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I'LL ADD TO THAT BECAUSE I DO REMEMBER THIS CASE BACK IN 2016 OR '17 OR WHATEVER IT WAS, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THIS LAYOUT IS SIMILAR IN SOME RESPECTS YET DIFFERENT IN OTHERS TO SOME OF WHAT WE SAW BACK THEN BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME OF THE IN-BETWEEN ONES THAT WERE NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS THIS.
[01:20:01]
I ALSO WANT TO THANK ANYBODY THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH SPLITTING UP THOSE PARKS. IS SHANNON STILL HERE? I'D LIKE TO THANK HER FOR THAT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN PREACHING THAT SINCE I WAS APPOINTED TO PLANNING AND ZONING IN 2010 BECAUSE THE TWO PARKS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I WISHED WOULD HAVE BEEN SPLIT UP SOME MORE, PARK SPACE COULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO MORE RESIDENTS.I LOVE THE FACT THAT THAT GOT SPLIT UP A LITTLE BIT HERE AND WE GET TO GET MORE PEOPLE CLOSER TO THAT PARK AND OPEN SPACE.
TO JEFF'S POINT, THIS HAS BEEN AROUND SO LONG THAT WE ACTUALLY SQUEEZED THE FIELDS OF STATE REZONING IN-BETWEEN, SEEING THIS ORIGINALLY AND SEEING IT NOW.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S BEEN AROUND QUITE THAT LONG.
ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S HARD WORK ON THIS.
I THINK THE PLANNING LOOKS GREAT, I THINK THE CONNECTIONS LOOK GREAT.
I LIKED THE WAY THE TRAILS ARE GOING TO WEAVE IN AND OUT AMONGST THE TREES AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP AS MANY OF THOSE AS POSSIBLE.
I THINK THAT WILL BE A HUGE BENEFIT TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M SUPPORTIVE.
WE'VE [NOISE] KNOWN THIS BY MANY NAMES.
[LAUGHTER] THE GROVE, THE GARDENER TRACT, AND SEVERAL OTHERS.
YEAH. I'M LOOKING AT IT THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS, BILL.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON PNC, BEEN ON COUNCIL PROLONGED TIME.
PASSIONATE ABOUT THESE NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGNS, WHICH I LOVE, HELPS ME A LOT.
I JUST KIND LOOK AT IT A DIFFERENT WAY.
I THINK MORE TO THE TEAMWORK, THE TIME AND EFFORT EVERYONE PUT INTO IT.
JUST REALLY SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THINKING WAS IN 1982, BUT WHERE WE ARE NOW IN 2022 AND HOW WE'VE INCORPORATED THE GREEN SPACE, THE TRAILS, ROUNDABOUTS, THE RETAIL, DIVERSE HOUSING PROJECT, THE PRODUCT, IT'S JUST SO MUCH BETTER.
JUST SO DIFFERENT FROM THE DIFFERENT EVOLUTIONS THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER TIME.
THANK YOU ALL FOR HANGING IN THERE AND WORKING WITH JAVA AND HIS TEAM AND HIS STAFF AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH US LITERALLY OVER THE YEARS AND JUST COME BACK ONE MORE TIME AND COMING BACK ONE MORE TIME AND ONE MORE CHANGE, ONE MORE DETAIL.
WE'RE FINALLY AT A GOOD PLACE TONIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS.
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING WITH US TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF APARTMENTS.
THAT'S BEEN AN INITIATIVE BY MANY COUNCILS FOR MANY YEARS.
SEEING THAT ACTUALLY COME TO FRUITION AND WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF FRISCO LONG TERM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING PARTNERS WITH US ON THIS.
IN MANY OF THE DIFFERENT CASES WE'VE TALKED ABOUT LIKE PHASING.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO ANY OF HOW THIS IS GOING BE DEVELOPED FROM A PHASE PERSPECTIVE, I ASSUME NOT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BREAK AROUND AT ONCE?
>> YES, IT'S NOT ALL GOING BREAK IT AT ONCE.
SINGLE-FAMILY IS MORE LIKELY TO GO FIRST, BUT WE HAVEN'T GOT TO THE FACING UP.
BUT WHEN THEY SUBMIT, WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT COMPLIES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, HAVE A MINIMUM OF TWO POINTS OF ACCESS, THAT'S GENERAL CIRCULATION AND FARM.
>> ONLY MY SECOND COUNCIL MEETING.
BUT THE ZONING ISSUES THAT WE HAD AT THE LAST ONE.
CLEARLY WERE A BIG PROBLEM FOR RESIDENTS IN FRISCO AND HAD TO DO WITH, I THINK, DEVELOPER COMMUNICATION AND THAT THING.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS ONE SHOWS THAT YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK TO COMMUNICATE AND TO WORK WELL WITH THE COUNCIL.
IT LOOKS REALLY GREAT, SO VERY EXCITING. CONGRATULATIONS.
>> I GUESS IN CLOSING, I AM A 100% SUPPORTIVE.
AS I SPOKE WITH A DEVELOPER, I WAS WAITING FOR THE NEXT SHOE TO DROP BECAUSE IT SEEMED ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
YOU MEAN YOU'RE REDUCING DENSITY, YOU'RE ADDING VARIETY OF DWELLINGS, YOU'RE ADDING GREEN SPACE IN EXCESS OF OUR REQUIREMENTS.
WE'RE GETTING PARKS AND WE'RE GETTING HIKING, BIKING TRAILS.
KUDOS TO THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AND KUDOS TO JOHN AND TEAM AS HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED.
I DON'T HAVE A HISTORY OF WHAT YOU GUYS DID TO GET TO THIS POINT, BUT AMAZING THE UNEXCITED ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT.
>> MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 33 AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.
>> SECOND, WAS THAT ANGELA, SIGMA ANGELA ON FAVOR.
>> OPPOSE THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE, ZERO. THANK YOU.

SOME HAVE TALKED ABOUT MIX-USE, BUT I JUST DON'T SEE MIXED-USE HAPPENING HERE WHERE YOU HAVE URBAN WRAP APARTMENTS, EVEN ON TOP OF COMMERCIAL, CONSIDERING THE ADJACENCY TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY.
