>> WELL, THANK YOU. [BACKGROUND]
[5. Recognition for Boys State 2022 (American Legion)]
YEAH. [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND]>> I DO HAVE A SPECIAL PROCLAMATION WHICH READS, "WHEREAS AMERICAN LEGION BOYS STATE IS AMONG THE MOST RESPECTED AND SELECTIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF GOVERNMENT INSTRUCTION FOR HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS, IT IS A PARTICIPATORY AND OBJECTIVE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE EACH STUDENT BECOMES A PART OF THE OPERATION OF ITS LOCAL COUNTY AND STATE GOVERNMENT.
WHEREAS AN AMERICAN LEGION BOYS STATE PARTICIPANTS LEARN THE RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF FRANCHISE CITIZENS OPERATED BY STUDENTS ELECTED TO VARIOUS OFFICES, BOYS STATE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS, COURT PROCEEDINGS, LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENTATIONS, ASSEMBLIES, BANDS, COURSES, AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS." I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU ALL INTRODUCE YOURSELVES.
BUT IT ALSO SAYS, "WHEREAS THESE DRIVEN YOUNG MAN REPRESENTED FRISCO EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DURING THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN LEGION BOYS STATE IN AUSTIN, NOW THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM AUGUST 16TH AS FRISCO BOYS STATESMAN'S DAY." LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
[APPLAUSE] I'M JUST GOING TO PASS IT DOWN THE LINE AND HAVE YOU ALL INTRODUCE YOURSELVES.
THEN MAYBE JUST SAY SOMETHING QUICK THAT YOU LEARNED FROM PARTICIPATING.
>> I'M RUDY AND I'M FROM CENTENNIAL AND I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW STATE GOVERNMENT IS DIFFERENT FROM CITY GOVERNMENT.
IT SEEMS WEIRD, BUT I LEARNED HOW TO GIVE A GOOD HANDSHAKE, BECAUSE ANY GUY WILL TELL YOU ON THAT FIRST DAY YOU SHAKE PROBABLY 200 PEOPLE'S HANDS AND YOU ALL MET THEM.
WHAT I LEARNED WAS HAVING A SHARED COMMON EXPERIENCE WITH PEOPLE ALL ACROSS TEXAS AND ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
I THINK THE MAIN THING THAT I LEARNED WAS ABOUT THE ELECTION PROCESS AND WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN FOR A POSITION IN THE STATE.
>> I'M IAN. I GO TO WAKELAND AND I LEARNED HOW TO NOT EMBARRASS MYSELF IN FRONT OF A REALLY BIG CROWD. [LAUGHTER]
>> HI, MY NAME IS SAM HECT. I GO TO WAKELAND.
I LEARNED THAT OUR COUNTRY IS IN GOOD HANDS.
WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD FUTURE AHEAD OF US.
>> HI, MY NAME IS MATTHEW. I GO TO LONE STAR AND I LEARNED JUST HOW DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE THAT PEOPLE HAVE AND THEIR DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES CAN AFFECT THEIR OUTCOMES AND OPINIONS.
I'M FROM MEMORIAL AND THE THING I LEARNED THE MOST ABOUT IS HOW MUCH WORK ACTUALLY GOES INTO LEGISLATION GETTING PAST.
IT'S NOT JUST RUNNING A BILL AND JUST READING IT OUT.
>> MY NAME IS WESTERN COOK. I GO TO REEDY.
ONE THING I LEARNED FROM BOYS STATE IS HOW UNDER PRESSURE A LOT OF US CAN COME TOGETHER AND WE'RE ALL LEADERS.
TOGETHER WE MADE PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST BOYS STATE IN THE BOOKS AND WE ALL LEARNED AND WE MADE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS.
I GO TO LONE STAR HIGH SCHOOL AND I ACTUALLY LOST MY OFFICE TO A COIN TOSS DUE TO A TIE VOTES SO IT REALLY DROVE HOME THAT EVERY VOTE MATTERS. [LAUGHTER]
>> MY NAME IS MAX SINAKAM FROM FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL.
I LEARNED THAT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES FROM ALL ACROSS TEXAS MAKE IT REALLY HARD TO COME TO A COMMON GROUND ON THINGS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU WORK HARD AND FIGHT FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU BELIEVE IN AND CARE FOR ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
HI, I'M LARRY WILHELM, [INAUDIBLE] POST 178 THE BOYS STATE CHAIR.
THESE ARE THE 2022 BOYS STATEMEN.
WELL, WE'RE GETTING READY TO START THE 2023 CLASS DOMINATION PROCESS SOON SO IF YOU HAVE ANY JUNIORS OUT THERE, THAT YOU CONTACT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELOR AND WE WILL BE GETTING IN CONTACT WITH THEM HOPEFULLY, AND G? TTING THINGS ROLLING FOR THE 2023 BOYS STATE DOWN IN AUSTIN. COMMANDER?
>> THANK YOU, EVERYONE. I'M JON STAMMERICK.
I'M HONORED TO BE THIS YEAR'S AMERICAN LEGION POST 178 POST COMMANDER.
[00:10:01]
THANK YOU TO LARRY WILHELM AND HIS COMMITTEE THAT HAS DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB.I THINK WE'VE HAD A GREAT GROUP OF YOUNG MEN THAT ARE GOING TO REPRESENT US WELL, BOTH IN THEIR SENIOR YEARS HERE IN FRISCO AND THEN WHERE THEY'RE HEADED OFF TO NEXT.
WE'RE JUST HONORED AND PRIVILEGED THAT YOU GUYS HAVE STEPPED UP AND MADE FRISCO PROUD SO WELL DONE, GENTLEMEN. [APPLAUSE]
>> IT HAS NOW BECOME AN ANNUAL TRADITION BECAUSE I NOW KNOW YOU SING A SONG AS PART OF THIS COMPETITION.
YOU HAVE TO INDULGE OUR AUDIENCE HERE.
I'LL TURN THE FLOOR TO YOU GUYS.
>> ARE YOU READY? [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE]
>> [BACKGROUND] OUR NEXT PROCLAMATION
[4. Forgiveness Day (Glory House Frisco)]
IS FOR FORGIVENESS DAY.THE PROCLAMATION READS, WHEREAS FORGIVENESS PROMOTES FREEDOM THROUGH THE RELEASING OF BITTERNESS, ANGER, RESENTMENT, HURT AND OFFENSE.
WHEREAS FORGIVENESS PROMOTES UNITY THROUGH EXTENSION OF GRACE, MERCY AND KINDNESS.
FORGIVENESS DOES NOT CONDONE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US OR BY US INSTEAD IT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAL BY MAKING THE CHOICE TO BECOME BETTER AND NOT BITTER.
WHEREAS SCIENTIFIC, SOCIAL AND MEDICAL STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT FORGIVENESS YIELDS HEALTH REWARDS, INCLUDING REDUCING LEVELS OF ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, STRESS, AND THE RISK OF HEART ATTACK.
RESULTS ALSO SUPPORT FORGIVENESS, EDUCATION AS A PROTECTIVE FACTOR AGAINST THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF BELIEVE.
WHEREAS, THROUGH THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS, THE FORGIVENESS CAMPAIGN ENDEAVORS TO SEE FAMILIES RESTORED, FRIENDSHIPS REPAIRED, COMMUNITY STRENGTHEN AND PEOPLE EMPOWERED.
THE FORGIVENESS CAMPAIGN AIMS TO PROMOTE THE AWARENESS OF NATIONAL FORGIVENESS DAYS, WHICH ARE TIME SET ASIDE TO REMIND US TO CONSIDER FORGIVING, ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS AND RECEIVING FORGIVENESS THAT IS OFFERED TO US.
SUCH DAYS INCLUDE THE WORLD FORGIVENESS DAY IN JULY, AND INTERNATIONAL FORGIVENESS DAY, WHICH IS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST AND WHEREAS WE LOVE BY BUILDING A COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE INSPIRE EACH OTHER TO HAVE A HEART THAT FORGIVES.
NOW, THEREFORE, IGF CHAINING WHERE THE CITY OF FRISCO DO HEREBY PROCLAIM AUGUST 16TH, 2022 AS FORGIVENESS DAY IN FRISCO.
[APPLAUSE] CONGRATULATION, I THINK YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, DON'T YOU?
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR CHENEY, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL IN OUR NEW CITY MANAGER AS WELL.
THIS IS MY HUSBAND KEVIN I'LL LET HIM SPEAK IN JUST A MINUTE AND WE ARE PASTORS OF THE GLORY HOUSE OF FRISCO, WHERE WE ARE ALSO FOUNDERS OF THE FORGIVENESS CAMPAIGN, WHICH IS A CAMPAIGN TO INSPIRE ONE MILLION ACTS OF FORGIVENESS.
OUR CAMPAIGN HAS FOUR GOALS AND THAT'S TO SEE FAMILIES RESTORED, FRIENDSHIPS REPAIRED, COMMUNITY STRENGTHEN, AND PEOPLE EMPOWERED.
[00:15:05]
THIS CAMPAIGN CAME ABOUT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WROTE A SONG CALLED A HEART THAT FORGIVES, AND THE RESPONSE THAT WE GOT WAS JUST OVERWHELMING.WE HAD A WOMAN THAT CAME UP TO US AND TOLD US THAT HER FATHER IMPREGNATED HER TWICE AND NEVER APOLOGIZED AND WHEN SHE HEARD THE SONG, SHE SAID GOD GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO LET GO OF ALL OF THE PAIN AND RESENTMENT THAT SHE HAD BEEN CARRYING.
WE HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT CAME UP TO US AND SAID HIS ONLY SON WAS MURDERED.
IT WAS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
BUT WHEN HE HEARD THE SONG, GOD GAVE HIM THE STRENGTH TO FORGIVE THE MAN THAT MURDERED HIS SON.
IT'S THESE TYPES OF RESPONSES THAT CAUSE US TO REALIZE THAT EVERY BODY AT SOME POINT IN LIFE IS GOING TO BE HURT OR HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME LEVEL OF OFFENSE.
WHEREAS IT MIGHT NOT BE AT THAT LEVEL OF TRAGEDY AS THE ONES THAT I JUST MENTIONED WE DO STILL AT SOME POINT HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION OF IF WE ARE GOING TO BECOME BITTER OR IF WE ARE GOING TO BECOME BETTER.
THIS DAY IS JUST SO AMAZING TO ME.
YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME.
BECAUSE OUR HEART REALLY IS FOR SEEING PEOPLE FREE FROM HURT AND OFFENSE.
I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT BY FRISCO TAKING A LEAD AND STANDING FOR UNITY AND FROM STANDING FOR FORGIVENESS, I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME MORE NUMBER ONES FOR FRISCO.
FRISCO IS THE NUMBER ONE CITY FOR SAFETY.
I JUST LEARNED IN COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR, NUMBER ONE CITY TO RAISE ATHLETE, AND SO I BELIEVE THAT WITH THIS DAY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LEAD IN A LOT OF THINGS.
I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE THE CITY WITH THE LOWEST DIVORCE RATES.
I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE THE CITY WITH THE LOWEST LEVEL OF BULLYING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO RAISE A GENERATION THAT KNOWS HOW TO LET GO OFFENSE.
I REALLY BELIEVED THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE AN AMAZING, AMAZING CHANGE AND WE WILL BE KNOWN AS A CITY THAT LOVES AND SO I JUST THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS PROCLAMATION AND FOR THIS DAY AND I AM HONORED TO BE THE FIRST TO SAY, HAPPY FORGIVENESS DAY, IN FRISCO, TEXAS.
>> MAYOR CHENEY ASKED ME TO JUST SHARE, SO I'LL DO THAT SO LONG AS YOU SPEAKING OUT, I'LL JUST SING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IS IT SAYS.
>> MY SON WANTS TO MEET THE MAYOR.
>> WHAT'S UP BUDDY. [LAUGHTER] HERE, YOU WANT TO YOU WANT TO HOLD? DO THE HONORS? OKAY.
>> IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE OF THEIR YELLOW RIBBONS TO SHOW SUPPORT, YOU CAN GRAB ONE AS YOU GO OUT, RIGHT BY THE DOOR, IS THAT RIGHT? THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING HERE AND INSPIRING. VERY WELL DONE.
[6. Overdose Awareness Day (Grace to Change and Lifepath Systems)]
NOW WE HAVE OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY.WE HAVE A TRAIN GOING IN, SO I'M ASKING YOU TO SING HERE IN A MINUTE OR TWO.
[00:20:01]
[LAUGHTER] I BET EARNEST COULD HAVE.>> ALL RIGHT. IT READS, WHEREAS THE CITY OF FRISCO AFFIRMS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE HARM AND HARDSHIP CAUSED BY DRUG OVERDOSE.
WHEREAS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IN 2021, OVERDOSE CLAIMED THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 4813 RESIDENTS AND AFFECTED COUNTLESS MORE LIVES FOREVER.
WHEREAS IN COLLIN COUNTY FROM JANUARY OF 2021 TO OCTOBER OF 2021, THE OVERDOSE RATE ROSE 387 PERCENT, WITH 70 PERCENT BEING ONETIME USERS.
WHEREAS INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY ON AUGUST 31ST IS A DAY TO REMEMBER THOSE LOVED ONES LOST TO OVERDOSE, IT ALSO AIMS TO REDUCE THE STIGMA OF DRUG-RELATED DEATHS.
WHEREAS THE MISSION OF GRACETOCHANGE IS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF ADDICTION FOR ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS BY PROVIDING THE TOOLS, SUPPORT, AND HOPE FOR A LIFETIME OF RECOVERY.
BOTH GRACETOCHANGE AND LIFEPATH SYSTEMS ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THOSE IMPACTED BY SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND BUILD A STRONGER COMMUNITY.
WHEREAS WE JOINED TOGETHER AND RESOLVE TO PLAY OUR PART IN REDUCING ITS TOLL OF OVERDOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE GRIEF FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS AFFECTED BY OVERDOSE.
THEY ARE SONS, DAUGHTERS, MOTHERS AND FATHERS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND ARE DESERVING OF LOVE, COMPASSION, AND SUPPORT.
NOW THEREFORE, I JEFF CHENEY BY THE CITY OF FRISCO DO HEREBY PROCLAIM AUGUST 31ST, 2022 AS OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR FOR READING THAT PROCLAMATION.
OUR PURPOSES TONIGHT WAS TO BRING AWARENESS TO OUR COMMUNITY, OUR CITY OF FRISCO, TO PARENTS AND TO THE KIDS, MIDDLE-SCHOOL ON UP TO COLLEGE AGE.
THE FENTANYL USE TODAY IS SO VERY DANGEROUS AND KIDS ARE NOT AWARE OF IT, EVEN PARENTS AREN'T AWARE OF IT.
IT ONLY TAKES THE AMOUNT OF FENTANYL, ONE GRAIN OF SALT IN A PILL THAT THESE VERY CREATIVE DRUG DEALERS ARE DOING NOW THAT ARE VERY CHEAP AND INEXPENSIVE TO BUY, TO KILL YOU.
WE NEED TO HAVE OUR KIDS AWARE OF THIS.
WE NEED TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM TO TEACH THEM THAT, TO TEACH THE PARENTS THAT, TO TEACH EVERYBODY THAT.
WITH ME TONIGHT IS SHANNON WHITE FROM GRACETOCHANGE.
SHE WORKS WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND TREATMENT.
I'M GOING TO HAND THIS OVER TO HER.
>> I THINK IT'S TOTALLY POINTING THAT FORGIVENESS DAY IS THE SAME DAY AS THE GRACETOCHANGE'S OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY, AND IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES.
WHAT WE WANTED TO DO TONIGHT IS JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S HELP IN COLLIN COUNTY.
MANY PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TREATMENT.
GRACETOCHANGE IS A NON-PROFIT AND WE HAVE COUNTY FUNDS WHICH PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS IT.
IF YOU GET ANYBODY TO MY DOOR IN MCKINNEY, THEY WILL GET TREATMENT.
BUT WE HAVE FUNDS AND WE WANT TO BE A VOICE TO MAKE THIS A BIGGER ISSUE.
WE DON'T WANT TO SCARE PEOPLE BECAUSE SCARING PEOPLE DOESN'T WORK.
WHAT WE WANT TO PROVIDE IS HOPE AND A RESOURCE.
ON AUGUST 31ST IN MCKINNEY AT THE GUITAR SANCTUARY, WE'RE HAVING AN OVERDOSE AWARENESS NIGHT WHERE WE'LL BE PASSING OUT $12,000 WORTH OF NARCAN, WHICH IS THE DRUG REVERSAL, SO ANYBODY THAT COMES, ANYBODY'S WELCOME.
YOU CAN COME AND TAKE HOME SOME NARCAN WITH YOU.
>> LET'S GIVE THEM ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
>> I MIGHT ADD THAT OUR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF COMBATING THIS DANGER THAT WE HAVE HERE IN FRISCO AND COLLIN COUNTY.
>> THANK YOU. I KNOW BETTER TO TAKE THE MIC AWAY FROM THE MAYOR.
GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU.
[CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)]
>> WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE INTO CITIZEN INPUT.
IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ANY ITEM NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.
I KNOW WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SIGNED-UP ALREADY.
>> YES, WE HAVE MELINDA AND TED PRESTON.
>> GOOD EVENING, GUYS. MEN AND WOMEN.
[00:25:01]
THIS WEEK, SOMETHING WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THE FRISCO ATHLETIC CENTER HAD SOME PLAQUES THAT WERE PUT UP FOR GENDER.I'LL UTTER. YOU CAN BE ANY GENDER GO INTO THE BATHROOMS AND ALSO INTO THE FITTING OR INTO THE DRESSING ROOM.
YOU ALL TOOK IT DOWN PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE THAT WAS HUGE.
I HAD SOME THINGS THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU GUYS, JUST FOR ONE SECOND I WAS BRINGING THEM.
LESS THAN 0.6 PERCENT IDENTIFY AS TRANSGENDER.
THAT IS SUCH A SMALL MINORITY COMPARED TO THE REST OF US.
TO TAKE A BATHROOM AND A DRESSING ROOM, AND TO TAKE THE RISK OF SOMEBODY, WE ALL WANT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND OUR WOMEN, AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT, FOR TAKING IT DOWN.
I'M LEARNING A LOT BECAUSE I STARTED RESEARCHING.
SIXTY EIGHT DIFFERENT GENDERS, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A BATHROOM FOR EVERY GENDER, RIGHT? THE WHOLE BUILDING WOULD BE NOTHING BUT A BATHROOM.
I'M BRINGING THAT UP, SAYING THAT RIGHT NOW SO THAT WHEN THESE THINGS COME UP, WE KIND OF SEE THE BIG PICTURE AND SAY IF WE NEED ANOTHER BATHROOM, HAVE IT BE JUST A SINGLE STALL THAT ANYBODY CAN USE.
DOESN'T MATTER YOUR GENDER. YOU CAN GO IN THERE AND FEEL SAFE.
BUT I DID WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ALL DID.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE BOARD.
I HEARD THAT IT WAS AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING DOWN THOSE PLAQUES.
>> TED PRESTON? YES, THAT WAS MY WIFE.
I TOO WANT TO JUST ECHO WHAT SHE SAID.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR ACTION ON THIS.
I READ COUNCILMAN LIVINGSTON'S POST ON FACEBOOK, AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT.
FROM HIS POST IT SAID THAT YOU WEREN'T AWARE THAT IT WAS MADE, SO THEY BROUGHT UP A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IN MY MIND ABOUT THAT.
WHAT'S THE OVERSIGHT ON? IS THERE A CITYWIDE POLICY ON BATHROOM USE? IF THERE'S NOT, I WILL SUGGEST THAT YOU MAY COME UP WITH ONE.
I'M AGAINST TRANSGENDER BATHROOMS. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A MALE OR A FEMALE.
YOU GO INTO THE MEN'S ROOM OR THE LADIES ROOM.
WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN.
WE HAVE TO PROTECT THOSE THAT WE LOVE.
BY ALLOWING A MAN THAT DECIDES TO DRESS UP LIKE A WOMAN TO GO INTO A LADIES BATHROOM IS UNACCEPTABLE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
>> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? OKAY. THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 7,
[7. Battle of the Badges Blood Drive Plaque Presentation]
WHICH IS THE, BATTLE OF THE BADGES, BLOOD DRIVE PLAQUE PRESENTATION.OUR POLICE AND FIRE AREN'T VERY COMPETITIVE.
WE ARE EXCITED TO HEAR THE RESULTS.
>> HELLO EVERYBODY. I'M SUSAN HOLT WITH CARTER BLOODCARE, AND I AM THE DONOR RECRUITER CONSULTANT FOR FRISCO.
WE DO AN ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE EVERY YEAR HERE WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF FRISCO AND THE SUPPORT OF BOTH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I ALSO WANTED TO BRING SOME VOLUNTEERS BECAUSE THESE KIDS ARE ALSO FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THERE.
THEY REPRESENT EMERSON HIGH SCHOOL AND ALSO CENTENNIAL.
THEY'RE OUT THERE SWEATING WITH ME AS WE'RE RECRUITING DONORS, IN THE HEAT.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORT AND HELP.
THEY ARE IN HOSA AND STUDENT COUNCIL SO I JUST WANTED THIS TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY VOLUNTEERS.
BUT FOREMOST, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WINNING DEPARTMENT.
BY SEVEN VOTES THIS HAS BEEN THE CLOSEST RACE EVER FOR THE COMPETITION.
IT IS WITH GREAT HONOR THAT I GIVE THIS PLAQUE TO THE FRISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT [APPLAUSE].
I DO WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BLOOD DRIVE.
WE DO IT EVERY YEAR IN JULY, WHICH IS THE HOTTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR, TYPICALLY.
IT IS THE MOST URGENT TIME OF NEED FOR BLOOD DONATION.
IT COMES AT SUCH A GREAT TIME.
WE COLLECTED 201 PINTS OF BLOOD, YOU TIMES THAT BY THREE.
THAT'S HOW MANY LIVES THAT THESE BLOOD DRIVES HAS HAD AN EFFECT IN SAVING.
[00:30:04]
WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SUPPORT THAT WE RECEIVE.I COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT BOTH CHIEFS BEING INVOLVED.
CHIEF PILAND IS NOT UP HERE TONIGHT, BUT ANYWAYS, I REALLY CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE SUPPORT THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE ENTIRE CITY OF FRISCO.
CHENEY, MAYOR AT THE CITY, JENNIFER TRAMEL AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
WE ALSO HAVE THE FRISCO ATHLETIC CENTER THAT IS GREAT SUPPORT, AND OF COURSE, EVERYBODY AT THE PD.
THANK YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.
CARTER BLOODCARE REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> WELL, SUSAN, JUST AGAIN, MY NAME IS KYLE MILLS.
I'M THE DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CHIEF PILAND REGRETTED HE COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY TO ACCEPT THIS, BUT HE DID GIVE ME VERY DIRECT ORDERS ON WHAT TO SAY TO CHIEF SHILSON.
I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT AT THIS POINT, BUT EVIDENTLY THERE WAS A TWEET SENT OUT BY A CERTAIN POLICE CHIEF THAT SAID THAT HE WAS PRETTY CONFIDENT HE WAS GOING TO WIN.
HE SENT HIS TWEET THAT HE WOULD OWE US A DINNER IF THEY LOST.
CHIEF SHILSON, I'M NOT SURE WHAT STEAK LOOKS LIKE IN YOUR AREA THERE, BUT NOW ON ALL SERIOUS KNOWS WHEN CHIEF SHILSON AND I WERE TALKING BEFORE WE CAME UP HERE, THE MAIN POINT OF WHAT WE DO IS TO SAVE LIVES.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PROJECT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS.
FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE COULDN'T PULL IT OFF WITHOUT JENNIFER TRAMEL.
SHE REALLY RUNS THAT WHOLE PROGRAM FOR US.
BUT SUSAN, ON BEHALF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE PARTNERSHIPS AND I'M SO GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE SOME LIVES TOGETHER.
>> THANKS, KYLE. IT WAS TOUGH SEEING OUR TWO YEAR STREAK COME TO AN END THIS YEAR BUT IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN AT SOME POINT.
BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THANK YOU, SUSAN, FOR ALLOWING US TO BE PART OF THIS.
IT IS, LIKE KYLE SAID, ALL ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS AND REALLY ALL ABOUT THE LIVES THAT WE CAN SAVE THROUGH THE BLOOD DONATION.
WE APPRECIATE BEING PART OF IT AND EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN'T BEAT US IN CORN HOLE, THEY CAN BEAT US ON A BLOOD DRIVE APPARENTLY.
>> THANK YOU ALL AGAIN. GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
[8. Budget Status Report for July 2022.]
THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 8, WHICH IS THE BUDGET STATUS REPORT FOR JULY.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
YOU HAVE OUR JULY OF FINANCIAL REPORT AND I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> I KNOW WE'RE KNEE DEEP IN BUDGET TALKS RIGHT NOW SO I THINK COUNCIL IS IN GOOD SHAPE THERE BUT ANY QUESTIONS [OVERLAPPING]
>> I'LL YIELD MY TIME TO GINNY [LAUGHTER]
>> ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR THIS DEPARTMENT? THANK YOU.
[9. Human Resources Quarterly Report for the months of April 2022 through June 2022.]
>>THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 9, THE HUMAN RESOURCES QUARTERLY REPORT.
>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, GOOD EVENING. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I'VE GIVEN YOU MY SECOND QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR, COMPARING APRIL THROUGH JUNE OF '21 THROUGH '22.
WE'RE VERY BUSY WITH OUR SUMMER HIRES.
OVER 100 JUST ON SUMMER HIRES, KEPT OUR STAFF GOING.
WE ALSO DID ANOTHER SALARY ADJUSTMENT.
THIS FISCAL YEAR HAS BEEN A VERY INTERESTING YEAR TO BE COMPETITIVE.
WE DID SOME EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS AS A RESULT OF SOME OTHER ADJUSTMENTS THAT HAD CREATED COMPRESSION.
EVALUATED OVER 900 OF OUR POSITIONS AND ABOUT OVER 400 OF OUR EMPLOYEES DID RECEIVE SOME EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PAYING, AGAIN, FAIRLY AND REALLY FOCUSING ON OUR EMPLOYEES MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE BEING FAIR ABOUT THE COMPENSATION ACROSS THE BOARD FOR BOTH NEW AND LONG-TERM EMPLOYEES.
WE OPENED UP OUR WELLNESS CENTER AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE ABLE TO COME.
I KNOW IT WAS A BUSY DAY WITH THE STATE OF THE CITY, BUT ON JUNE THE 28TH, WE DID OPEN THE WELLNESS CENTER.
THANK YOU FOR COMING. THEN WE STARTED APPOINTMENTS THE NEXT DAY ON THE 29TH.
BY THE END OF JUNE, WE'D ONLY SEEN A FEW NUMBER.
I HOPE THAT, IN MY NEXT REPORT I HAVE SOME MORE SPECIFIC DATA FROM YOU [NOISE].
BUT WE HAVE SELECTED A DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR WILL BE COMING ON BOARD THIS MONTH.
HOWEVER, THERE IS A TRAINING PROCESS AND THERE'S ALSO SOME CERTIFICATIONS
[00:35:02]
THAT NEED TO BE ACQUIRED SO THAT THEY CAN CONDUCT ALL THE TESTS NECESSARY FOR POLICE AND FIRE PHYSICALS.WE'RE LOOKING AT TRANSITIONING OUR POLICE AND FIRE PHYSICALS TO THE WELLNESS CENTER BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER.
I DID ATTACH A LINK TO THE VIDEO THAT THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT HAS DONE.
IT'S REALLY A NICE VIDEO ABOUT THE WELLNESS CENTER.
WE'RE STILL A LITTLE ON THE HIGH SIDE OVER 10 PERCENT.
THIS LAST ROLLING 12 MONTHS WAS ALMOST 13 PERCENT, BUT DOWN JUST SLIGHTLY FROM THE PREVIOUS ROLLING 12 MONTHS.
BUT WE'RE STILL HIGHER THAN WE'D LIKE.
AGAIN, SALARIES DOES SEEM TO BE A BIT AN ISSUE FOR ABOUT A THIRD OF THE PEOPLE THAT LEFT OUR EMPLOYMENT OVER THE LAST QUARTER.
INSURANCE IS STAYING GOOD, SPECIALTY DRUGS ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF OUR INCREASE IN PRESCRIPTION COSTS.
WE ALSO HAD A MEETING WITH TML ABOUT A WORKERS COMP RE-RATE.
THE TML BOARD IS NO LONGER PULLING OUT COVID CLAIMS IN LOOKING AT THE RATE FOR THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTIONS.
HOWEVER, THEY DID DO A SMOOTHING CALCULATION.
WE ARE SEEING A SLIGHT INCREASE NEXT YEAR ON THAT.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE.
>>COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?
>> WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND YOU WITH THE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS CENTER.
WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE THERE AT THE RIBBON CUTTING AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY.
HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL START TO SEE MORE FLOW IN THAT FACILITY.
I KNOW THAT YOU WORKED REALLY HARD ON THAT AND IT WAS A MULTIYEAR PROJECT.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING THAT OPEN AND HOPEFULLY OUR EMPLOYEES WILL BENEFIT FROM NOW.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ACTUALLY, WE'VE BEEN BOOKED ON ALL OF OUR APPOINTMENTS ALMOST EVERY DAY [NOISE] WHEN WE'D CALL THEM, PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO FIT IN WALK-INS WHENEVER THEY'VE NEEDED IF IT'S BEEN REALLY URGENT, BUT IF IT'S AN APPOINTMENT THAT COULD BE MADE, IT IS A COUPLE OF DAYS IF IT'S A BIOMETRICS OR A WELLNESS.
BUT THAT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH AND A GOOD SITUATION TO BE IN RIGHT NOW WHERE WE'RE HAVING VERY POSITIVE UTILIZATION.
>> LAUREN, TO THAT END, AND SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SENT THIS AHEAD OF TIME.
WHEN DO YOU THINK WE'LL START SEEING UPDATES IN THE QUARTERLY REPORT AS FAR AS NUMBERS AND TRACKING TO PROJECTIONS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT? DO YOU THINK FOURTH QUARTER, THIRD QUARTER?
>> THIS IS MY REPORT IN JUNE, WE JUST OPENED THE 29TH OF JUNE, SO OF COURSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING THERE.
I'M HOPING THAT FOR THE NEXT QUARTER, I COULD HAVE AT LEAST UTILIZATION NUMBERS TO REALLY SEE SOME TRENDING.
HOPEFULLY, BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT TELLS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PICTURE.
BUT I THINK I PROBABLY COULD GIVE YOU SOME UTILIZATION NUMBERS IN THE THIRD QUARTER REPORT.
>> THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 10,
[10. Development Services monthly activity update report for the months of June 2022 and July 2022.]
THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
UNFORTUNATELY, JOHN IS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE WITH US TONIGHT, BUT HE ASKED THAT I SHARE WITH YOU ALL THAT THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS RECENTLY DID AN EDITORIAL ON THE STR ORDINANCE THAT RECENTLY WENT INTO EFFECT.
FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR, STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE CONSULTANT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT STR SOFTWARE IS UP AND RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
THIS TIME, NEXT YEAR, AUGUST 2023, WE WILL BE BACK HERE IN FRONT OF YOU ALL TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON HOW THAT SOFTWARE IS RUNNING, WHERE OUR NUMBERS ARE.
ASIDE FROM THAT, YOU HAVE OUR REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

I'LL START OFF WITH OUR AUGUST PRESENTATION.
WE'RE GOING TO BE THE HOST OF THE 149TH ANNUAL STATE FIREMEN'S AND FIRE MARSHALS CONFERENCE.
THEY ACTUALLY CAME DOWN AND VISITED.
THIS WAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH MARLA AND HER GROUP THAT VISIT FRISCO.
WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT TO BEAUMONT.
LISA AND A COUPLE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND WE'RE ABLE TO SECURE THAT VENUE COMING TO FRISCO IN 2025.
AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S GOT A PRETTY GOOD PROJECTED IMPACT TO OUR ECONOMY.
THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN, AND AGAIN, A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH VISIT FRISCO.
JUST SOME RECOGNITIONS. THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY NEAT.
MATT GRAHAM AND BO CROSS GET THEIR 20-YEAR, ACTUALLY THE DAY BEFORE GEORGE'S LAST DAY.
THAT WAS PRETTY SPECIAL, AND THEN THE NEXT MONTH,
[00:40:03]
DARON HERTZ BURGER AND CHARLIE MARTS RECEIVES FROM RECOGNITIONS AS WELL.BIG THANKS TO MR. HILL WHO CAME OVER AND GAVE CHARLIE MARTS HIS 20-YEAR PRESENTATION IN OUR SMALLER MEETING.
OF COURSE, THE MAYOR RECOGNIZED HIM AT THE CITY LAUNCH IN TOO.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITING NEWS OF THE NIGHT.
THIS WHOLE PROJECT, WE'RE CALLING IT THE PUBLIC SAFETY, DIVERSITY SERIES WAS ACTUALLY DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM POEMS IDEA SPAWNED OUT OF SOME CREATIVE THINKING BETWEEN HER, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OTHER MEMBERS ON COUNCIL.
WHAT THIS IS IS A REALLY REACH OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO TRY TO INCREASE DIVERSITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE FIRST SESSION IS GOING TO BE SATURDAY, AUGUST 20TH.
THE CORE CONFERENCE CENTER, WHICH WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.
THE FUTURE SESSIONS ARE ACTUALLY LOCATED ON THE FLIER AS WELL AND THOSE DATES AND TIMES WILL BE UPCOMING.
BUT POLICE AND FIRE WILL MEET AND OPEN UP AND DO A Q&A WITH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, AND WILL HAVE SOME GUEST SPEAKERS THERE, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO ATTRACT SOME DIVERSITY INTO OUR STAFF THAT RECOGNIZES THE MAKEUP OF OUR CITY, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING.
CRANE TRAINING. SO THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WHERE THE HALL GROUPS REALLY STEPPED UP AND HELPED OUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THIS TRAINING WAS SPUN UP AT THE STATION LEVEL, AND THEY CAME TO ADMINISTRATION AND RECOGNIZE, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A TON OF CRANES IN AND AROUND THE CITY.
OUR SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP WANTED TO GET OUT AND TRAIN WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE GOES DOWN AT THE TOP OF THAT? WE WORKED WITH AUSTIN COMMERCIAL WITH THE HALL GROUP, OF COURSE, WITH CITY ATTORNEY AND RISK MANAGEMENT TO MAKE SURE WE WERE COVERED THERE.
BUT WE REALLY HAD A GREAT DAY OF TRAINING THAT REALLY PREPARED OUR TEAMS IF THIS TYPE OF EMERGENCY WAS EVER TO HAPPEN.
>> I DRIVE BY THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN GET ME HALFWAY [LAUGHTER] OF THAT LADDER TO GET UP THERE.
THE LAST THING I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS OUR UPCOMING EVENTS.
WE HAD AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FOR CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY AS WE DO EACH TIME.
CLASS NUMBER 42 BEGINS SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2022, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
THEN SEPTEMBER 17TH, YOU SHOULD SAVE THE DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PUBLIC WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR 15-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SAFETY TOWN.
THERE'S BEEN SOME REALLY COOL PROJECTS GOING ON AT SAFETY TOWN WITH LEADERSHIP FRISCO.
IT'S GOING TO END UP PROBABLY GREAT TIMING THAT THOSE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE DONE, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOWCASE THOSE ON OUR 15-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
WITH THAT, YOU HAVE THE JUNE AND JULY REPORTS IN FRONT OF YOU AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> I JUST WANT TO THANK AND RECOGNIZE ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT FOUGHT THAT GRASSFIRE THAT WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE, SO I DROVE BY IT AND I THINK I HAVE A WHOLE NEW APPRECIATION FOR HOW FAST THAT CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL.
I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WORKED HARD AND IT TOOK A LOT LONGER THAN PROBABLY WE ALL REALIZE YOU GUYS WERE OUT THERE FOR HOURS AFTERWARDS.
I WAS DRIVING BY LATER AND SAW YOU GUYS OUT THERE LOOKING FOR HOTSPOTS, BUT THAT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE EFFORTS THAT YOU GUYS DID, I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY THAT FOUGHT THAT.
>> I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT, BE SURE TO DO A GREAT JOB ON THAT FIRE AND WE HAD SOME HELP FROM SURROUNDING CITIES, WHICH WE GO HEALTH OCCASIONALLY TO, SO IT ALL PAYS OFF IN THE END.
BUT THOSE ARE VERY HOT, FAST-MOVING FIRES AND LUCKILY WE HAD THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES THAT TICKED IT TO GET ON TOP OF IT. THANK YOU.
>> AS A MEMBER OF THAT LEADERSHIP FRISCO CLASS THAT REDID, THE STORM ROOM.
IF ANYBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT THE CURTAINS BEING CROOKED SORRY, THAT'S MY FAULT.
>> I THOUGHT THEY WERE PERFECT.
THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO SUPPORT YOU GUYS AND MAKE THAT ROOM ADA COMPLIANT NOW.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SEE THAT COME TO FRUITION AND LAUNCHED.
[12. Police Department Monthly Crime Report for June and July 2022.]
>> NOW I MOVE US TO ITEM 12, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT.
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
ON THURSDAY WE KICK OFF CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY NUMBER 51.
TECHNICALLY IT'S PAST THE DEADLINE, BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME SPACE AVAILABLE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.
PEOPLE CAN E-MAIL OUR SERVICES DIVISION AT SERVICES@FRISCOTEXAS.GOV.
THAT FEATURES DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT EACH WEEK AND IT IS FREE, SO NO COST TO BE A PART OF IT.
I ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED TO SIGN UP OR CONTACT OUR SERVICES DIVISION.
I WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THIS,
[00:45:02]
CAL COVERED THIS IN HIS REPORT, BUT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS ON THIS COMING SATURDAY.IT'S GOOD CHANCE TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
WE'RE CALLING THIS OUR AMBASSADORS OR APPLICANTS SERIES AND THIS ONE IS FOCUSED ON DIVERSITY AND WE'LL FOCUS ON FEMALES AND YOUTH IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'S THE SERIES THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON.
LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT KICKED OFF ON SATURDAY, AND IT'S BACK-TO-SCHOOL TIME.
I LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY A FEW THINGS.
SCHOOL SAFETY HAS BEEN A POINT OF FOCUS FOR A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE WAKE OF THE VIVALDI TRAGEDY, BUT I TRY AND REMIND PARENTS HERE IN FRISCO, THE SCHOOL SAFETY IS ALWAYS BEEN A PRIORITY OF OURS.
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON TRYING TO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE AND IT WAS GREAT.
OUR OFFICERS HAD A GOOD TIME THIS LAST FEW DAYS, FIRST FEW DAYS OF SCHOOL, WELCOMING THE KIDS BACK AND SO WE'VE DEFINITELY HAD A VERY INCREASED PRESENCE WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS AND HAD SOME FUN DOING IT.
JUST SOME REMINDERS FOR PEOPLE THOUGH, IN THE SCHOOL ZONES AND THE ACTIVE SCHOOL ZONES TO SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG RISK THAT OCCURS DURING SCHOOL WHEN IT STARTS BACK IS TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS IN SCHOOL ZONES, WATCH OUT FOR OUR CROSSING GUARDS AND THEN JUST BE MINDFUL OF THE BUSES THAT ARE LOADING AND UNLOADING.
WITH THAT, YOU HAVE OUR JULY AND JUNE REPORT.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?
>> NO QUESTION, STEVE, BUT EXCITING ACTUALLY, ON BEHALF OF BOTH FIRE AND POLICE TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU GUYS OUT IN THE FIELD AT OUR COMMUNITY AWARENESS NIGHT, IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE COMMUNITY RESPOND TO BOTH POLICE AND FIRE THE WAY THAT THEY DID AND GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US AND COUNCIL TO GET AN APPRECIATION FOR WHAT YOU DO OUT THERE EVERY DAY.
THANK YOU. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SEE EXACTLY HOW BOTH DEPARTMENTS IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY.
[13. Visit Frisco July 2022 Sales and Marketing Reports and June 2022 metrics report.]
>> ITEM 13, OUR VISIT FRISCO REPORT.
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT LAST FRIDAY WE RECEIVED OUR BUXTON REPORT THAT WE'D BEEN WAITING ON THAT SURVEY THE RAIL DISTRICT AND FRISCO SQUARE AND SOME OTHER AREAS HERE IN FRISCO.
WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH THEM TOMORROW AND DO A DEEP DIVE ON THAT RESEARCH.
THEN OUR GOAL IS TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU AT A WORK SESSION WITH BUXTON PRESENTING AND GOING THROUGH IT SO THAT YOU CAN ASK WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT IT.
THEN WE ALSO AWARDED OUR TOURISM ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY LAST WEEK AS WELL.
THE LAST ONE, AS YOU REMEMBER, WAS 2019.
WE'RE REALLY ANXIOUS TO GET GOING WITH A NEW STEADY AND BENCHMARK AND BASELINE WHERE WE ARE POST PANDEMIC SO THAT WE CAN TRACK OUR FUTURE RESULTS.
THAT WILL PROBABLY TAKE PROBABLY ABOUT TWO MONTHS TO GET THAT COMPLETED.
OUR GOAL IS MAYBE TO PRESENT THAT AT THE YEARLY MEETING THAT WE DO JOINTLY WITH OUR BOARD, I THINK YOU'VE GOT TO SAVE THE DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR NOVEMBER.
REGARDING MY REPORTS, I JUST THOUGHT ON THE BOARD AND COUNCIL REPORT.
YOU PROBABLY SAW THAT WE HAD SO MANY BOOKINGS LAST JULY COMPARED TO THIS JULY.
THERE WAS ABOUT EIGHT SIGNIFICANT GROUPS THAT WE BOOKED LAST YEAR FOR THE FUTURE.
ONE OF THEM BEING A THREE-YEAR MULTIYEAR EVENT THAT HAD ABOUT 4500 ROOM NIGHTS OUT OF THAT.
WE TOOK A LOOK AT THAT. THEN ALSO YOU MIGHT NOTE ON THE MONTHLY MEDIA VALUE AND YEAR-TO-DATE QUERY JUST GOT BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE.
SHE'S GOT A LOT OF STUFF RESEARCH TO GO BACK AND DO, BUT WE'LL HAVE THOSE NUMBERS BY THE END OF THE FISCAL.
THEN FINALLY, I SENT YOU A POWERPOINT AS WELL.
THAT SIMPLE VIEW IS OUR CMS AND OUR CRM PROVIDER.
I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT SOME OF THE TRENDS ARE IN THE INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW IT'S THEIR QUARTERLY REPORT AND IT'S ONLY PEOPLE, THE CITIES THAT USE SIMPLE VIEW AS A PROVIDER.
BUT WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THE SAME TRENDS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED IN THERE WITH A LOT OF RFPS COMING THROUGH, SLOW TO BOOK, ATTENDANCE DOWN, BUT STILL STRONG ON THE BOOKINGS.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
>> WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?
>> ARE YOU ANTICIPATING CORPORATE BOOKINGS TO START TO SHIFT BACK UP IN 2023? WHAT TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING WITH THEM?
>> I ACTUALLY JUST MET WITH LIKE FIVE OF OUR GMS FOR A BIGGER HOTELS LAST WEEK.
THEY'RE SHOWING REALLY SOLID AND STRONG DURING 2023.
IN FACT, SOME OF THEM ARE SAYING THEY'RE HAVING TO RE FORECAST QUARTERLY BECAUSE THE BUSINESS IS SO STRONG.
BUT THE BUSINESS TRANSIENT, THE INDIVIDUAL TRAVELER IS THE ONE THAT'S NOT COMING BACK SO QUICK, BUT THE GROUP IS.
[00:50:02]
COMPRESSION IN THE MARKET WHERE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF AVAILABLE DATES RIGHT NOW.[14. Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.]
>> I MOVE TO SIDE 14, WHICH IS OUR COUNCIL'S SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.
COUNCIL WHAT UPDATES DO YOU HAVE?
>> MAYOR I HEARD YOUR RISK OF VETERANS ADVISORY COMMITTEE HOSTED THE MAYOR'S PURPLE HEART EVENT AND IF I COULD PASS THE MIC TO A COUPLE OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WERE THERE; I THINK TAMMY AND LAURA WERE THERE.
WOULD INVITE YOU GUYS TO SHARE IF YOU COULD, YOUR EXPERIENCE OF THE EVENT.
>> SURE. THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME ATTENDING THE PURPLE HEART EVENT.
LAST YEAR WE HAD ONLY A HANDFUL, THIS YEAR WE HAD PROBABLY 12, 14 THAT LIVE IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES THAT WERE HONORED AT THIS.
THAT DOESN'T COUNT THE ONES THAT HAVE OBVIOUSLY PASSED ON FROM FRISCO'S HERITAGE, BUT JUST TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF OUR MILITARY THAT HAVE COME OUT AND SUPPORTED THEM.
AS A MILITARY BRAT MYSELF, I'M INCREDIBLY PASSIONATE ABOUT SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY AND SEEING THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT CONTINUE TO SERVE, CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY EVEN AFTER THEY'VE LEFT THE MILITARY IS INCREDIBLY INSPIRING.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT VERY FREQUENTLY IS THAT FRISCO IS NOT JUST A VETERAN FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, WE ARE A VETERAN READY COMMUNITY.
WE WANT TO ENGAGE THEM AND HELP THEM.
WE KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SUPPORT THEM AS A CITY AS WELL.
>> I ALSO WAS THERE AND WAS JUST SO HONORED TO MEET SO MANY DIFFERENT VETERANS.
THERE WERE ABOUT 180 THAT CAME AND IT WAS MY HEART FOR VETERANS.
I WOULDN'T EVEN BE ON COUNCIL, I WOULDN'T BE IN THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT VETERANS.
SO, IT'S VERY MEANINGFUL TO ME TO MEET THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY.
THEN TALKING WITH MANY OF THEM FROM ALL OVER THE AREA AND NOT JUST FRISCO; THEY SAID THAT THEY REALLY FEEL WELCOMED, THEY REALLY FEEL VALUED IN OUR CITY, AND THAT'S THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO KEEP GIVING.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.
WE HAD SOME GREAT PARTNERS WITH BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE WHO SPONSORED THE EVENT AND DIDI'S DOWNTOWN WAS A GREAT VENUE FOR IT.
SO, IT WAS A REALLY GREAT NIGHT.
THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING.
OF COURSE, JOHN KEATING, HE'S OUR LEAD LIAISON WITH OUR VETERANS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
SO JOHN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.
I KNOW AS MUCH AS YOU LOVED BEING IN TAHOE, IT WOULD HURT YOU TO HAVE MISSED.
>> I'LL MAKE A PERSONAL COMMITMENT HERE TO TWO INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUALS, BOTH VETERANS, SHENNA LAWLESS, WHO'S OUR VFW POST COMMANDER AND TO DAVID SEALS WHO IS THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE WORK THEY DID, THE TEAM THEY PUT TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS EVENT, PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PURPLE HEART EVENTS WE'VE HAD IN THE CITY.
I JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT AND I WOULD MAKE A PERSONAL COMMITMENT THAT I WILL NEVER MISS ANOTHER ONE AGAIN.
SO, WE MADE OUR PLANS A LONG TIME AGO AND WE DID HAVE A LOT OF FUN AT THE TAHOE WITH FAMILY BUT DEEPLY REGRET MISSING THIS EVENT.
BUT I'M ALSO VERY PLEASED THAT IT WENT AS WELL AS IT DID.
>> COUNCIL WHAT OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES YOU HAVE?

ITEM 32 IS A PUBLIC HEARING, A REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR PRIVATE STREETS ON 62.9 ACRES ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HILLCREST AND ELDORADO PARKWAY TRACT ONE AND ON 35.5 ACRES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CHARISMATIC PARKWAY, 110 FEET WEST OF GREY HAIR DRIVE, TRACT TWO CONSISTING OF 98.4 ACRES IN THE AGGREGATE.AND TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 AS AMENDED, ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT THREE MIXED NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 13, ZONING CASE NUMBER SUP22-0001, APPLICANT VR 637, LLC AND LEXINGTON INVESTMENTS, LTD.
[00:55:04]
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A PRIVATE STRAIGHT DEVELOPMENT ON TWO TRACKS WITHIN A SINGLE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT.
THOSE TWO TRACTS ARE THE TRACTS SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT WAS LAID OUT, IT WAS LAID OUT IN A WAY SO THAT THE SUBDIVISIONS OR THE TRACTS THAT ARE NOT TO BE GUIDED STILL HAVE COMPLETE ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC STREETS, ANY FUTURE PARKS OR SCHOOLS.
SO, I'LL SHOW ON AN EXHIBIT HERE.
SO, COMING FROM COIT ROAD, YOU HAVE A ROAD THAT COMES THROUGH HERE, COMES AROUND AND THEN GOES UP TO ELDORADO.
SO, EVERYTHING THAT I JUST DREW IN YELLOW THERE WILL REMAIN OPEN TO GIVE ACCESS TO THESE UNGATED PORTIONS.
AGAIN, IT IS THESE AREAS HERE AND HERE THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE SUP REQUEST THIS EVENING.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE AREA THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE 2002 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND BAXTER BRINKMANN.
THERE'S A PROVISION IN THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT LIMITS THE NUMBER OF GATED SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN THE BRINKMANN RANCH AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO NO MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE PROPERTY DEVELOPED AS A RESIDENTIAL.
SO, THE APPLICANT HAS CONFIRMED COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PROVISION SO THAT'S JUST OVER 38 PERCENT THAT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT IS ALREADY GATED, THE LEXINGTON SUBDIVISIONS ON THE EAST SIDE OF COIT AND THEN THE TWO TRACTS HERE AND HERE THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE SUP REQUEST THIS EVENING.
IN ADDITION, THIS REQUEST MEETS ALL THE STANDARDS PLACED ON PRIVATE STREET DEVELOPMENTS BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS REVIEWED THIS REQUEST AND IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING.
AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>> COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
>> NEW TIME IN PUBLIC HEARING.
>> SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> THAT MOTION PASSES SIX, ZERO.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO CARES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? WE'VE GOT ONE, REAL QUICK.
>> MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, MY NAME IS JOHN PAPAGOLOS, 5225 VILLAGE CREEK DRIVE, SUITE 300, PLANE 075093.
PAPAGOLOS DEVELOPMENTS SERVES AS THE DEVELOPER FOR BR 637, LLC AND LEXINGTON INVESTMENT, LTD. WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE AGREE WITH ALL THE STAFF'S COMMENTS AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT PROVIDING THIS ASPECT INTO THE LEXINGTON PARKS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
>> ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
>> SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR?
COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE?
I KNOW I HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT I GET ASKED IT ALL THE TIME; ANYTIME WE DO A GATED COMMUNITY IS, THE TRAIL SYSTEM THROUGH THIS AREA WILL REMAIN A PUBLIC TRAIL SYSTEM, CORRECT?
>> WILL STILL CONNECT ALL THE OTHER AREAS?
>> I ALWAYS HAVE MY FAVORITE GATED COMMUNITY QUESTION ABOUT PRIVATE ROADS, AND WILL THESE BE BUILT TO CURRENT CODE.
SO, WE COULD HAVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, FIRE, FRISCO PD.
>> THAT IS CORRECT. ALL STREETS WILL OBEY MAYOR'S CITY STANDARDS, CURRENT CITY STANDARDS.
>> HAVE THEY FILED A REQUEST FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT?
SO, THEY HAVE THEIR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVED AND THERE WAS A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS DONE AS PART OF THE SUP REQUEST THAT IS TIED TO THE SUP REQUEST.
>> I'M JUST SEEING A LOT OF STRAIGHT, LONG ROADS.
>> YES. IT'S ALL BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED THROUGH TRAFFIC ENGINEERING.
>> OF COURSE. I KNOW ONCE YOU FILL IT WITH RESIDENTS THAT THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE RUNNING STOP SIGNS AND DRIVING TOO FAST.
THAT WHOLE CONVERSATION ABOUT SPEED BUMPS AND WHERE THE POLICE AND WE'RE GATED COMMUNITY, THE POLICE WON'T COME IF YOU CALL THEM AND WE GET THOSE EMAILS.
SO, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL CLEAR THAT THE STREETS ARE BUILT TO CODE, AND THERE IS A PROVISION WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR THEM TO HAVE THOSE STREETS PATROLLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.
[01:00:03]
THEY ARE PAYING FOR THAT BENEFIT WITH THEIR TAXES BUT THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT, IF THEY DON'T FILE FOR IT.>> YES, I'M NOT AWARE IF THEY HAVE FILED FOR IT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> FIRST OF ALL, WE DO BUILD ALL THE STREETS TO CODE WITHIN FRISCO.
WE CONDUCT A CITY FINAL WITH THE INSPECTORS AT THE END OF THE JOB.
AT THE END OF THE PROJECT, THERE IS A FINAL LETTER ISSUED BY THE CITY SAYING WE'VE MET ALL STANDARDS.
SECOND OF ALL, THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE IN FRISCO THAT ARE GATED, WE REQUEST AND ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT AND I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NAME OF THE AGREEMENT, BUT WE WILL INSTALL STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS TO THE STATE STANDARD SO THAT OUR STREETS CAN BE PATROLLED AS A NORMAL STREET AND NOT AS A PRIVATE STREET.
IT WILL BE FULL ACCESS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ENFORCING TRAFFIC CONTROL.
I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE AGREEMENT.
MR. ABERNATHY I THINK MAY KNOW THE NAME OF THE AGREEMENT THAT GETS SIGNED WITH THE CITY REQUESTING THAT.
>> YOU'RE PLANNING ON DOING THAT FOR THIS ONE TOO, AT SOME POINT, CORRECT?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR AS IF YOU'RE GOING TO PETITION FOR OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
I'M CERTAINLY NOT HERE TO SPEAK FOR OUR POLICE CHIEF, BUT I KNOW IT'S BEEN A TRADITION HERE THAT IF ANYBODY DID FILE FOR THAT, WE WOULD CERTAINLY APPROVE IT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING WHICH ARE IN COMPLIANCE.
I JUST TRIED TO HAVE THIS OFF OF THE PAST.
>> COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LOOK FOR A MOTION.
>> TO APPROVE AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE.

Zoned Agricultural. Neighborhood #46. Zoning Case No. Z22-0014. Applicant: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Development Services/JH)]
THAT'LL MOVE US INTO ITEM 33, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING, A REQUEST TO REZONE 75.8 ACRES IN THE WEST SIDE OF FRISCO STREET, 550 FEET NORTH OF ALL STARS AVENUE FROM AG TO HIGHWAY TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 AS AMENDED AND TO CONSIDER TO KNOW EXTENT OF PREPARING ORDINANCE OF THE SAME ZONE AG NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 46 ON CASE NUMBER Z22-0014.APPLICANT KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO RAISE OWN THE PROPERTY SHOWN HERE FROM AGRICULTURAL TO HIGHWAY.
HIGHWAY ZONING IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE PROPERTY DUE TO ITS LOCATION ALONG THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, HIGHWAY ZONING IS APPROPRIATE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NON-RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, AS WELL AS THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION OF THIS PROPERTY.
AS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS DECLINED TO ENTER INTO THE VOLUNTARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH BUILDING MATERIAL STANDARDS AND CODES, BUT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST AS HIGHWAY.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
>> SECOND BY ANGELA. ON FAVOR?
IS THERE ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? THEN WE HAVE ONE THAT IS REGISTERED, MR. NEWMAN.
>> YES. JIM NEWMAN COMING DOWN.
>> MAYOR COUNCIL. JIM NEWMAN, 9801 CANFIELD AVENUE, FRISCO, TEXAS.
I REPRESENT THE 165 TOTALLY PARTNERSHIP THAT IS REQUESTING THE ZONING TONIGHT.
WE ARE REQUESTING THE HIGHWAY ZONING BECAUSE THAT WILL ALLOW US TO DO A MIXED-USE WITHOUT APARTMENTS ON THERE.
AS THE QUESTION OF QUALITY, IN ADDITION TO THIS PROPERTY, YOU HAVE THE TOW WAY, OVERLAY DISTRICT WHICH IS VERY HIGHLY RESTRICTIVE OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND USES THAT CAN OCCUR.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, YOU ALSO HAVE THE OLD TOWN CENTER ZONE OF OVERLAY DISTRICT, WHICH IS ANOTHER LAYER OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND STANDARDS TO BE BUILT.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST HIGHLY REGULATED PIECE OF PROPERTY OTHER THAN THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES THAT'S OUT THERE.
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER THIS AND WE'LL BE EXCITED TO HAVE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT IN FRISCO.
THANK YOU, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
>> ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
>> I THINK I'LL MOVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
[01:05:02]
>> SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR?
WE DID HAVE THIS ITEM ON OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION PORTION OF OUR COUNCIL MEETING AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS COUNCIL HAD THAT STAFF STILL NEEDS SOME TIME TO FOLLOW UP ON.
COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE TO TABLE THIS ITEM? I THINK PRIOR TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING TO GET THOSE QUESTIONS ITEMS.
>> THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. YES, SIR.
>> LET ME CANCEL. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.
>> ARE WE GOING TO WANT TO TABLE THE PUBLIC INPUT AS WELL? BECAUSE IF WE DO NEED TO REOPEN THAT AND TABLE IT THAT WAY.
>> WE DON'T HAVE TO, I'M JUST ASKING YOU IF YOU WANT TO.
I THINK WE CAN JUST TABLE AND GET A NOD.
>> THEN I MOVED TO TABLE ITEM 33 TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
>> SECONDED BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR.
[34. Public Hearing: First public hearing on the City of Frisco Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Budget, including Frisco Economic Development Corporation Fiscal Year 2023 Budget and the Frisco Community Development Corporation Fiscal Year 2023 Budget. (Budget/JH)]
THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 34, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING, THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CITY OF FRISCO, FISCAL YEAR 2023 ANNUAL BUDGET INCLUDING FRISCO EDC ANNUAL BUDGET AND FRISCO CDC ANNUAL BUDGET.>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
BEFORE YOU OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING, WE DO HAVE THE BUDGET VIDEO THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU TONIGHT, AS WELL AS JUST A FEW SLIDES THAT IF I COULD SHOW JUST BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THE LATEST REPORT SHOWS INSTEAD OF GROWING, THE ECONOMY LOST NEARLY ONE PERCENT IN THE SECOND QUARTER.
IN A WORD, CHANGE MAY BEST DESCRIBE THE CITY OF FRISCO'S NEW BUDGET YEAR.
THE SAME CHANGES IMPACTING YOUR HOUSEHOLD BUDGET ARE AFFECTING FRISCO'S NEW BUDGET TOO.
CHANGES LIKE RISING COSTS FOR FUEL.
>> WE'RE ALSO DEALING WITH SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.
>> LIKE LOCAL BUSINESSES, RECRUITING EMPLOYEES HASN'T BEEN EASY EITHER.
>> THIS YEAR'S BUDGET WAS CHALLENGING.
>> DESPITE CHANGE, FRISCO IS EMBRACING IT AND INVITING POSSIBILITIES.
>> THAT REALLY IS A COMBINATION OF THE YEARS THAT WE'VE COME OUT OF, THE YEAR WE'RE IN AND THE YEAR WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO.
BECAUSE THOSE NUMBERS AREN'T IN ISOLATION.
THERE'S ONE PARTICULAR SET OF FINANCES FOR THE YEAR.
>> FRISCO'S FISCAL YEAR 23, PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX RATE IS 0.4466.
THAT'S THE SAME RATE WE'VE HAD SINCE 2018.
FISCO'S TOTAL PROPERTY VALUES CLIMBED MORE THAN 15 PERCENT.
NEW PROPERTIES ADDED OVER THE LAST YEAR ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT A THIRD OF THE INCREASE.
FRISCO'S AVERAGE TAXABLE HOME VALUE, WHICH IS LESS ANY TAX EXEMPTIONS, IS ABOUT $470,000 AND COMES WITH A TAX BILL OF ABOUT $2,100.
>> THAT MOTION PASSES 6,0. THANK YOU ALL.
>> IN JUNE, THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO GIVE HOMEOWNERS A BIGGER BREAK ON THEIR TAX BILL.
COUNCIL MEMBERS RAISED THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION BY TWO AND A HALF PERCENT, BRINGING THE CITY'S TOTAL EXEMPTION TO 12.5 PERCENT.
I THINK IT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP HOMEOWNERS TO HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.
THEY ALSO APPROVED A SENIOR PHRASE, WHICH SETS A CEILING FOR SENIOR CITIZENS OVER 65.
>> RAISING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION TO 12.5 PERCENT TRANSLATES TO MORE THAN $15 MILLION IN SAVINGS TO HOMEOWNERS.
THE SENIOR TAX FREEZE IMPACTS MORE THAN 8,500 HOMEOWNERS AND WILL BENEFIT THEM IN THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
WATER WILL CAUSE MORE IN THE NEW BUDGET YEAR.
THE CITY'S WHOLESALE WATER SUPPLIER IS INCREASING RATES BY MORE THAN 13 PERCENT.
>> INFLATIONARY COSTS FOR CHEMICALS, FUEL, CONTRACTORS, IT'S ALL IMPACTED SERVICES.
WE ARE PASSING ON THE INCREASES FROM THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.
>> CITY RATES MAY INCREASE BY AS MUCH AS 10 PERCENT FOR WATER AND BY ABOUT THREE PERCENT FOR SEWER SERVICES.
STORMWATER RATES WILL NOT CHANGE.
WATER CONSERVATION IS ENCOURAGED YEAR-ROUND AND EMPHASIZED DURING DROUGHTS.
RISING CONSUMPTION MEANS A HIGHER TAKER PAY THRESHOLD.
BEING WATER-WISE IS MONEY-WISE TOO.
>> TAKER PAY SEEMS COMPLICATED, BUT REALLY WHAT IT MEANS IS THE MOST WATER WAKE UP DURING THE YEAR, THAT'S OUR NEW WHAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
EVEN IF WE DON'T USE THAT, WE STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
THAT'S THE TYPE OF HIGH CONCEPT.
>> RESIDENTS WILL ALSO PAY FOUR DOLLARS MORE PER MONTH
[01:10:03]
PER CARD FOR TRASH AND RECYCLING SERVICES.>> GOOD MORNING. THE CITY OF FRISCO.
>> FRISCO PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET INCLUDES A GENERAL FUND OF MORE THAN $229 MILLION.
AS ONE OF THE CITY'S FIVE CORE VALUES, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ARE ENHANCED WITH THE NEW BUDGET.
>> OUR EFFORT IS REALLY TO SHOW HOW WE VALUE THEM, NOT JUST IN GIVING THEM A PAYCHECK, BUT THEN THE LITTLE THINGS THAT AFFECT THEIR LIFE.
FRISCO OPENED A HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER THIS YEAR, OFFERING FREE HEALTH CARE TO EMPLOYEES AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES.
THE NEW BUDGET ALSO PROVIDES EMPLOYEES OF FREE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP TO THE FRISCO ATHLETIC CENTER.
LONGEVITY PAY WOULD DOUBLE FROM FOUR DOLLARS PER MONTH TO EIGHT, WHICH IS PAYING NEAR THE END OF THE YEAR.
TWO ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE HOLIDAYS ARE PROPOSED AND ANY HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASES WOULD BE ABSORBED BY THE CITY.
>> WE'VE INCREASED OUR MERIT POOL FROM THREE PERCENT TO FOUR PERCENT.
EMPLOYEES CAN GET MERIT INCREASES AS HIGH AS FIVE PERCENT.
BUT THE DEPARTMENT AVERAGE MEANS IS AT FOUR PERCENT.
>> WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FEND SOME THINGS FOR OUR EMPLOYEES THAT WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD IF WE HADN'T HAD THAT EXTRA SALES TAX THAN COMING INTO THE GENERAL FUND.
>> HI. YOU FIND EVERYTHING OKAY.
>> STATEWIDE SALES COLLECTIONS ARE REACHING RECORD HIGHS.
FRISCO'S COLLECTION CLIMBED BY ABOUT 24 PERCENT SINCE LAST AUGUST.
>> WE'RE VERY CAREFUL WE WANT TO SEE A TREND BEFORE WE APPROPRIATE THAT MONEY TO ONGOING OPERATIONS.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT FLORIDA IS.
>> UNTIL THEN, A FIVE PERCENT SALES TAX INCREASE IS BUDGETED FOR THE NEW YEAR.
[MUSIC] FORTY-SEVEN NEW POSITIONS ARE PROPOSED, THREE FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND 19 FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
>> THE NEW POSITIONS ARE GOING TO STAFF, TWO NEW PATROL DISTRICTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CREATING BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH IN FRISCO.
WE'VE ALSO INCREASE THE POWER SHIFT POSITIONS AND THAT'S THE SWING SHIFT THAT OF OFFICERS THAT WE PUT OUT THERE AT THE BUSIEST CALL LOAD TIMES AND THAT'S TO HELP OUR RESPONSE TIMES HERE.
THEN WE HAVE SOME SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER POSITIONS THAT SOME ELEMENTARY ROVERS AND ONE FOR PANTHER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
>> NOTHING BETTER THAN FEELING SAFE WHERE YOU LIVE EVERY DAY, AND THREE NORTH TEXAS CITIES TOPPED THE LIST OF THE SAFEST IN THE UNITED STATES.
LOOK AT FRISCO TAKING THE NUMBER ONE SPOT ON A LIST PUT OUT BY INVESTMENT COMPANY SMART ASSET.
>> IN FACT, NEARLY HALF OF THE CITY'S BUDGET IS DEDICATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE PROPOSED TOTAL CAPITAL COSTS FOR FY23 IS $9 MILLION.
THE NEW 2023 BUDGET PROVIDES FUNDING TO REMODEL AND EXPAND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ADDING AN ANNEX BUILDING TO SERVICE ITS FLEET, AND PROVIDES STORAGE FOR THE SWAT TEAM.
THE ANNEX WOULD HOUSE THE TRAFFIC DIVISION PLUS LARGER TRAINING AND FITNESS ROOMS. RENOVATIONS AT THE MAIN BUILDING WOULD PROVIDE MORE ROOM FOR LOCKERS AND A NEW WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM.
THE PROPOSED BUDGET ALSO SUPPORTS RENOVATING OUR PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY, MAKING ROOM FOR A GROWING FLEET.
>> LITERALLY GOING TO A SPACE THAT'S THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF THE ONE WE'VE HAD BEFORE.
>> THE NEW BUDGET SUPPORTS COMPLETING CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPPING THE NEW LIBRARY AS WE PREPARE TO OPEN THE DOORS IN THE EARLY 2023.
>> WE ARE WATCHING THE MARKET ON AND WE'RE TRYING TO JUST GET THE TIMING EXACTLY RIGHT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO START A PROJECT AND THEN HAVE COST ESCALATE.
WE WERE ABLE TO ISSUE THE LIBRARY BONDS AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION JUST BEFORE COST STARTED TO INCREASE.
>> AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND INVITE POSSIBILITIES, THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL WILL NAME A CITIZEN'S BOND COMMITTEE THIS SUMMER.
THE GROUP WILL CONSIDER BOND REQUESTS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
>> WE WILL BE SHOWING WHAT IFS AND HOW IT'LL IMPACT THE TAX RATE AND WHAT AMENITIES WE MAY ADD OR WHAT ROADS WE'RE GOING TO ADD.
>> THE CITY HAS ALWAYS DONE A GOOD JOB OF PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE LOOKING TO BE CAUTIOUS AND PRUDENT WITH THE RESOURCES THAT IT HAS [INAUDIBLE] NEEDS ARE GOING TO COME.
>> AS THE CITY TACKLES TRANSITION AND CHANGE, STAFF REMAINS FOCUSED ON DELIVERING THE HIGHEST QUALITY SERVICES MOST EFFICIENTLY FOR RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND VISITORS, ALL WHILE EMBRACING CHANGE AND INVITING POSSIBILITIES.
>> WITH THAT, IT IS AN $844 MILLION PROPOSED APPROPRIATION.
IT MAINTAINS RESERVE FUNDS AND OUR FUND BALANCES ACCORDING TO OUR FINANCIAL POLICIES.
AS YOU HEARD IN THE VIDEO, THE PROPOSED TAX RATE IS 0.4466 AND THERE'S 47 NEW POSITIONS.
[01:15:01]
WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OUR MERIT-BASED PERFORMANCE PROGRAM.WE WILL CONTINUE OUR WORK ON OUR BOND PROGRAM.
THERE'S A $113 MILLION AUTHORIZED VOTER APPROVED BONDS INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET, AS WELL AS 44 MILLION IN CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.
AS STATED IN THE VIDEO, WE ARE PLANNING TO BRING FORWARD THAT CITIZEN BOND COMMITTEE TO YOU ALL.
WE ARE PROPOSING FEE INCREASES IN RATES TO THE UTILITY FUND AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FUND, AND ADJUSTMENTS TO LIBRARY FEES AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THE APPLICATION FEES.
THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOCUMENT IN THE VIDEO IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AND AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW.
SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZEN INPUT INCLUDE SEPTEMBER 6TH WILL BE OUR SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET AND SEPTEMBER 20TH WILL BE OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE, AS WELL AS WE'LL ADOPT THE BUDGET, THE TAX RATE AND THE FEE ORDINANCE THAT NIGHT.
THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS MY DYNAMIC COMMUNICATIONS TO YOU.
WE APPRECIATE THAT WORKS SO WE CAN PUT A CONCISE MESSAGE ONTO OUR RESIDENTS.
BUT COUNCIL THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
>> [INAUDIBLE] PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR?
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
>> SEEING NONE, MOVE TO CLOSE.
>> BY JOHN, SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR.
COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? I'LL JUST SAY THIS IS JUST ANOTHER STEP IN THE PROCESS UNDER THE BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE.
IT WORKS ON THIS YEAR ROUND EFFECTIVELY WITH THE BUDGET TEAM.
WE'VE ALREADY HAD ONE LARGE WORK SESSION WITH COUNCIL WHERE WE SPENT A GOOD COUPLE OF HOURS TAKING A DEEP DIVE INTO THE BUDGET AND GETTING QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
BUT ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE?
>> NO. I WOULD JUST ADD, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT THEME OR A DIFFERENT FOCUS IN THE BUDGET AND THIS YEAR, THE ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT TO ME THE MOST IS WHAT WE'RE INVESTING IN OUR EMPLOYEES.
NOT ONLY WITH THE ADDITIONAL STAFF, BUT WITH THE WELLNESS CENTER, WITH A LOT OF THE OTHER CHANGES THAT WE DID AS FAR AS HOW VACATION TIME IS COUNTED.
JUST A LOT OF DIFFERENT BENEFITS THAT I THINK WILL HELP US ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE BEST EMPLOYEES.
I NOTICED THAT ALMOST HALF OF OUR NEW POSITIONS ARE ALLOCATED TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, WHICH I THINK IS AWESOME.
CONTINUES TO SHOW WHAT A SUPPORTIVE CITY WE ARE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS, BUT I DO NOTICE OBVIOUSLY A DISPARITY.
THERE'S 19 NEW POLICE POSITIONS AND THREE FIRE POSITIONS.
CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TOO? I KNOW WE WERE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY GETTING SOME FUNDING FROM ANOTHER SOURCE FOR FIRE, BUT CAN YOU JUST SPEAK TO THAT?
>> YEAH. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS APPLIED FOR A GRANT AND WE SHOULD HAVE ANSWERS WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS ON WHETHER THEY'LL GET THOSE POSITIONS.
IT'S THE SAFER GRANT THAT THEY'VE APPLIED FOR BEFORE.
WE HAVE A GOOD TRACK RECORD WITH THAT GRANT.
I BELIEVE THEY'RE HOPEFUL FOR THOSE POSITIONS.
>> I BELIEVE IT'S 15 POSITIONS.
