ALLEGIANCE] GOT THERE REAL QUICK.

WELL, WELCOME. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

SO LATER TONIGHT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS WE'RE GOING TO BE NOMINATING A WHOLE SET OF VOLUNTEERS AND PEOPLE THAT ARE CHOOSING TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY ON DIFFERENT BONDS, I MEAN, IN DIFFERENT COMMITTEES, DIFFERENT BOARDS, AND EVEN OUR CITIZEN BOND COMMITTEE, AMONG OTHERS.

SO WE HAVE, GOSH, I GUESS, OVER 100 VOLUNTEERS HERE IN FRISCO THAT SERVE ON THESE DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMITTEES.

SO I KNOW YOU LEARN A LOT IN SCOUTS ABOUT SERVICE AND VOLUNTEERISM, SO INTRODUCE YOURSELF, WHAT GRADE, NAME, SCHOOL, AND THEN JUST WHAT VOLUNTEERING AND SERVICE MEANS TO YOU.

YOU READY? IT'S ALWAYS THE FIRST PERSON THAT'S LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE I STOOD HERE.

[LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT. YOU THINK YOU CAN GO FIRST? ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT. I'M [INAUDIBLE].

I'M IN SEVENTH GRADE, AND I THINK SERVICE MEANS THAT YOU HELP OTHERS WITHOUT GETTING PAID.

[LAUGHTER] MY NAME IS JOSIAH. I'M CURRENTLY A JUNIOR OVER AT LEBANON TRAIL HIGH SCHOOL.

I THINK SERVICE, ESPECIALLY IN BOY SCOUTS, IS GETTING TO HELP A YOUNGER GENERATION.

JUST PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP.

HI, I'M CARSON.

I GO TO TRENT MIDDLE SCHOOL.

I'M IN EIGHTH GRADE, AND I THINK SERVICE MEANS TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T GET SOMETHING FROM IT.

HI, I'M RYAN HUDSPETH.

I'M A SEVENTH GRADER AT TRENT MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND I BELIEVE THAT SERVICE MEANS TO HELP A GROUP OR A PERSON WITHOUT GETTING SOMETHING IN RETURN.

HI, I'M [INAUDIBLE].

AND I AM A SIXTH GRADER AT PIERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.

I THINK HELPING OTHERS IS GOOD, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES HELPING OTHERS IS GOOD.

AND I THINK IT MAKES ME, MYSELF FEEL GREAT.

ALL RIGHT. HELLO. I'M ELIAS [INAUDIBLE].

I'M IN EIGHTH GRADE, AND I THINK SERVICE MEANS JUST HELPING PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

WELL DONE. [APPLASE] GOOD JOB.

HOLD ON. THANK YOU. HERE, LET'S GET A QUICK PICTURE HERE [INAUDIBLE].

ALL RIGHT. LET'S WELCOME THEM.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU.

[4. Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day]

THE FIRST ONE.

THE FIRST ONE IS GOLD STAR MOTHERS AND FAMILIES TODAY.

OK.

HEY THERE. HOW ARE YOU? HI THERE. AND THE PROCLAMATION READS, WHEREAS THE CITY OF FRISCO DEMONSTRATES THAT IT IS VETERAN READY BY VALUING, WELCOMING, ENGAGING AND SUPPORTING ALL VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

AND. WHEREAS, THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR ARMED FORCES REPRESENT THE VERY BEST OF OUR GREAT NATION, MATCHED ONLY BY THE FAMILIES WHO WALK BESIDE THEM IN THEIR SERVICE.

IT IS OUR SACRED DUTY TO RECOGNIZE THE UNENDING AND IMMEASURABLE SACRIFICES GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMBERS MAKE, WHEN A FATHER, MOTHER, BROTHER, SISTER, SON, DAUGHTER OR OTHER LOVED ONE DIES IN SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.

AND. WHEREAS, SINCE 1936, OUR NATION HAS OBSERVED GOLD STAR MOTHERS DAY ON THE LAST SUNDAY OF SEPTEMBER.

IN 2009, BY PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION, IT WAS EXPANDED TO GOLD STAR MOTHERS AND FAMILIES DAY IN HONOR OF BOTH THE MOTHERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHOSE LOVED ONES SERVED AND DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY AND THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ITS ALLIES, OR DIED AS A RESULT OF INJURIES SUSTAINED IN SUCH SERVICE.

[00:10:01]

AND WHEREAS, DEDICATED ON MAY 13, 2021, NEXT TO THE VETERANS MEMORIAL AT FRISCO COMMONS PARK, THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES MEMORIAL MONUMENT STANDS AS A DEMONSTRATION OF SUPPORT FROM THE FRISCO COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS, THE GOLD STAR MOTHERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE EARNED AND DESERVE THE UTMOST GRATITUDE AND RESPECT FROM THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS FOR THEIR INSPIRING STRENGTH, RESILIENCY, AND FOR THE WORK THEY DO IN PRESERVING THE MEMORY OF THEIR FALLEN HEROES.

NOW, THEREFORE, I JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2022, AS GOLD STAR MOTHERS AND FAMILIES DAY.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. BEING A GOLD STAR MOTHER, IT IS A TITLE THAT WE GRAPPLE WITH.

NO MOTHER WANTS TO BECOME A GOLD STAR MOTHER BECAUSE WE KNOW THE COST AND THE SUFFERING AND THE SACRIFICE THAT WE MUST MAKE.

BUT IN THE SAME BREATH, WE ARE SO PROUD TO BECOME A GOLD STAR MOTHER.

BECAUSE EVELYN AND I SON, THROUGH THEIR BRAVERY AND COURAGE, THEY NEVER LET THE THOUGHT OF DEATH HINDER THEIR NEED TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY AND TO PRESERVE THE AMERICAN VALUES.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REMEMBERING THEM.

EVERY TIME YOU REMEMBER OUR SONS, YOU ACTUALLY HELP US TO LEARN TO MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE.

THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

THIS IS OVERWHELMING, BUT I'M GRATEFUL.

I HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE FOR ALL THOSE THAT SERVE, ALL THOSE THAT SERVE AND LOST THEIR LIVES.

FOR US AS GOLD STAR MOMS, WHAT WE DO IS WE PICK UP THE TORCH WHERE THEY LEFT OFF AND WE CONTINUE SERVICE.

AND FOR THAT, WE'RE GRATEFUL.

AND WHEN WE BREATHE, THEY'RE BREATHING THROUGH US.

SO THANK YOU.

YOUR SON'S NAMES.

I AM THE PROUD MOTHER OF FIRST LIEUTENANT LATERREN QUINTEZ LEE.

JUNE 12, 2014.

AND I AM THE MOTHER OF CORPORAL PETER JOHN COURCY, WHO GAVE HIS LIFE IN AFGHANISTAN ON FEBRUARY 10TH, 2009.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

HE IS NATIONALLY RANKED NUMBER THREE, NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER ONE IN THOSE CATEGORIES.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO IN SINGLES, JUST SAYING.

[LAUGHTER] AND.

HE PLAYED AGAINST 15 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND BROUGHT HOME BRONZE AND GOLD MEDALS.

AND. WHEREAS, ARYA IS COACHED BY ABHISHEK KARRI REDDY. ARYA AND HIS FAMILY ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE INVALUABLE SUPPORT THE ACADEMY AND COACH HAVE PROVIDED.

[00:15:01]

CONGRATULATIONS AND JOB WELL DONE.

[APPLAUSE] DO YOU WANT TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND WHAT MADE YOU GET INTO, I KNOW WE'RE SPORTS CITY USA, BUT WHAT GOT YOU INTO BADMINTON? SO IN 2017, I WAS BORED IN THE HOUSE IN SUMMER AND ON FACEBOOK WE FOUND SOMETHING LIKE A BADMINTON CAMP, SO WE DECIDED TO JOIN THAT AND THINGS JUST HELPED OR JUST SKYROCKETED FROM THERE.

AND I JUST FOUND THE INTEREST AND THAT'S WHAT LED ME HERE TODAY.

[APPLAUSE] CAN YOU BEAT YOUR DAD AT BADMINTON? I CAN. [LAUGHTER] THAT WAS PRETTY QUICK.

HE ANSWERED THAT PRETTY QUICK. DAD, WHAT DO YOU THINK? THAT'S JUST GOOD COACHING FOR ME, I THINK.

[LAUGHTER] WHAT'S THAT? HERE, LET'S TAKE A PICTURE. HERE, YOU HOLD THIS HERE.

WE'RE GONNA LOOK RIGHT OVER HERE.

[LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS.

WELL DONE. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

I'M DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[6. Constitution Week]

I GET THE HONOR OF HAVING A COUNCIL MEMBER JOIN ME FOR THIS, WELCOME.

AND IT READS WHEREAS SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 MARKS THE 235TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DRAFTING OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, BY AMERICA, BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

AND. WHEREAS, IT IS FITTING AND PROPER TO ACCORD OFFICIAL RECOGNITION TO THIS MAGNIFICENT DOCUMENT AND ITS MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY INTO THE PATRIOTIC CELEBRATIONS WHICH WILL COMMEMORATE THE OCCASION.

AND. WHEREAS, PUBLIC LAW 915 GUARANTEES THE ISSUING OF A PROCLAMATION EACH YEAR BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 17 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 23RD AS CONSTITUTION WEEK.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR, THE CITY OF FRISCO, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17TH THROUGH SEPTEMBER 23RD AS CONSTITUTION WEEK IN FRISCO, AND ASK ALL CITIZENS TO REAFFIRM THE IDEALS THE FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION HAD IN 1787 BY VIGILANTLY PROTECTING THE FREEDOMS GUARANTEED TO US THROUGH THE GUARDIAN OF OUR LIBERTIES, REMEMBERING THAT LOST RIGHTS MAY NEVER BE REGAINED.

WELL SAID. YOU WANT TO SHARE ANY WORDS? SO IN ADDITION TO MY CITY COUNCIL RESPONSIBILITIES, I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION HERE AT THE PRESTON RIDGE CHAPTER HERE IN FRISCO.

AND SINCE THEY FIGURED I WAS HERE ANYWAYS, I WOULD GO AHEAD AND ACCEPT THE PROCLAMATION ON BEHALF OF [INAUDIBLE].

ON ONE SIDE OF MY FAMILY, I HAVE IMMIGRANTS THAT CAME OVER JUST A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS.

ON THE OTHER SIDE, I'M ABLE TO TRACE ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A PREREQUISITE FOR THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

BUT TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO, WE ARE A NONPOLITICAL ORGANIZATION THAT IS REALLY FOCUSED ON PRESERVING OUR HISTORY, SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY, AND ALSO WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND GIVING BACK.

SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE THAT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO DO, PLEASE CONTACT US.

WE'D LOVE TO HELP AND SERVE YOU.

FROM CONSTITUTION WEEK, SPECIFICALLY SOME OF THE THINGS THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON EMPHASIZING THE CITIZEN'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTING AND DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION, TO INFORM PEOPLE THAT THE CONSTITUTION IS THE BASIS FOR AMERICA'S GREAT HERITAGE AND THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR WAY OF LIFE.

AND LASTLY, TO ENCOURAGE THE STUDY OF HISTORICAL EVENTS WHICH LED TO THE FRAMING OF THE CONSTITUTION IN SEPTEMBER 1787.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T BEFORE, TAKE SOME TIME TO READ THE CONSTITUTION AND KNOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THERE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, LAURA.

AND OUR LAST PROCLAMATION IS VOTER REGISTRATION DAY, AND OUR CITY SECRETARY IS GOING TO JOIN US FOR THIS ONE, AS WELL AS WE HAVE

[7. Voter Registration Day]

COME ON UP. OKAY.

IT READS, WHEREAS NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION DAY IS A NONPARTISAN CIVIC HOLIDAY, FIRST OBSERVED IN 2012 TO CELEBRATE DEMOCRACY AND CREATE A BROAD AWARENESS OF VOTER REGISTRATION OPPORTUNITIES.

AND. WHEREAS, THE CITY OF FRISCO IS COMMITTED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF ELECTION INTEGRITY AND ALSO TO ENCOURAGING VOTER REGISTRATION ACCESS AND CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN

[00:20:09]

AND. WHEREAS, THE CITY OF FRISCO RECOGNIZES THAT MANY AMERICANS ARE NOT ABLE TO VOTE BECAUSE THEY MISS A REGISTRATION DEADLINE, DO NOT UPDATE THE REGISTRATION INFORMATION OR UNFAMILIAR WITH HOW TO REGISTER.

WHEREAS THE CITY OF FRISCO RECOGNIZES THE NEED TO INCREASE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND VOTER PARTICIPATION FOR GREATER REPRESENTATION FROM OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY.

AND. WHEREAS, THE NEED FOR RELIABLE AND TRUSTED PUBLIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ON VOTER REGISTRATION IS CRITICAL TO AMERICANS ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN ELECTIONS AND TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTORAL PROCESSES.

NOW, THEREFORE, I JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2022, AS VOTER REGISTRATION DAY IN FRISCO AND URGE ALL CITIZENS TO REGISTER TO VOTE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO ACTUALLY VOTE.

[APPLAUSE] YOU WANT TO SHARE A FEW WORDS? YES.

SO I WOULD LIKE JUST TO TAKE THIS QUICK MOMENT AS A EDUCATION POINT TO KIND OF JUMP OFF FROM THIS PROCLAMATION AND SAY THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS ACTUALLY A REALLY GREAT VOTER REGISTRATION NUMBER.

CURRENTLY, WE'RE AT 127,000 REGISTERED VOTERS, WHICH CONSIDERING OUR POPULATION, THAT'S AN OUTSTANDING NUMBER IN COMPARISON TO OUR OTHER COMMUNITIES.

BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT IS THAT IN OUR LAST CITY ELECTION, WE HAD OVER 119,000 REGISTERED VOTERS THAT DID NOT VOTE. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO HELP HIGHLIGHT AND EDUCATE PEOPLE AND GET THEM TO THE POLLS SO THAT WE CAN INCREASE THAT. AND THIS IS JUST ONE METHOD TO HELP WITH THAT AS WELL.

SO I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN THOSE SIGNS ARE OUT THERE.

I KNOW THEY'RE ANNOYING, BUT THAT MEANS AN ELECTION IS COMING AND WE NEED YOU TO SHOW UP AND VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU MAYOR CHENEY, FOR RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTER REGISTRATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK COUNCILWOMAN MEINERSHAGEN FOR HER LEADERSHIP AND CHAMPIONING THIS PROCLAMATION.

SO THANK YOU. MY NAME IS JENNY SCOTT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO MEET.

I'VE LIVED IN FRISCO FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AND I'M VERY HONORED TO BE INVITED TO ACCEPT THIS PROCLAMATION WITH MY FRIEND JUDY THIS EVENING.

I STARTED WORKING ELECTIONS FOR DENTON COUNTY ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO AND BECAME A VOLUNTEER DEPUTY VOTER REGISTRAR SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

WHAT WAS MOST INTERESTING TO ME WHEN I STARTED RESEARCHING THE NUMBERS WAS TO DISCOVER THAT FRISCO HAD SUCH A LOW VOTER TURNOUT.

SO I THINK BACK THEN IT WAS HOVERING AROUND 9%.

I THINK WE'RE UP TO 10, 11%.

IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY. YIKES.

SO LIKE MAYOR CHENEY HAS STATED, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO REGISTER TO VOTE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACTUALLY VOTE, YOU GUYS.

SO JUDY AND I ARE CHAMPIONS OF THIS WITH COUNCILWOMAN MEINERSHAGEN.

SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE.

I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF ELECTIONS GOING ON YEAR AFTER YEAR, BUT WE HAVE TO TURN OUT.

EVERY SINGLE VOTE TRULY MATTERS.

MY GOAL, I GUESS OUR GOAL, I SHOULD SAY WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VOTER TURNOUT PERCENTAGE OF AT LEAST 20%.

CAN WE REACH THAT? HOPEFULLY. LET'S FOCUS THERE.

AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER DATES THAT I WANT TO WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE, IN ORDER TO VOTE IN THE MIDTERMS IS COMING UP VERY QUICKLY.

IT'S ON OCTOBER THE 11TH.

SO IF YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED, MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER BY THAT DATE.

AND THEN EARLY VOTING STARTS IN A SHORT 35 DAYS.

IT STARTS ON OCTOBER THE 24TH.

LASTLY, BUT NOT LEAST LIKE, SHE MENTIONED HERE, THE SECRETARY, YOUR WEBSITE ACTUALLY HAS REALLY GREAT INFORMATION.

SO THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR UPDATING THAT.

I NOTICED THAT PROBABLY A YEAR AGO, SO THAT'S SUPER HELPFUL.

FRISCO IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T RESIDE IN TWO COUNTIES AND THE COUNTIES DO THINGS VERY DIFFERENTLY.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY BEFORE I HAND IT OVER TO JUDY IS THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE A VOTING PLAN.

SO GO HOME TONIGHT.

MAKE YOUR VOTING PLAN THAT INCLUDES WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE, WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE, WHO YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR.

DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE CANDIDATES.

BE AN INFORMED VOTER AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT THE POLLS.

I'M SORRY.

I WROTE A NOVEL.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS JUDY ADAMS. I AM A DENTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PRECINCT CHAIR AS WELL AS I HOLD A LEADERSHIP POSITION WITHIN THE DENTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY AS CHAIR OF OUTREACH.

SINCE TODAY IS NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION DAY, A NON PARTIZAN CIVIC HOLIDAY CELEBRATING OUR DEMOCRACY, I'M ALSO A VDR VOLUNTEER DEPUTY REGISTRAR, A NONPARTISAN ROLE, AND OUR JOB IS TO REGISTER VOTERS AND GET CONSTITUENTS OUT TO EXERCISE THEIR CIVIC DUTY.

IT TRULY IS AN HONOR TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU TO OUR LEADERS, ESPECIALLY COUNCILWOMAN TAMMY MEINERSHAGEN AGAIN FOR HAVING ME HERE AND MAYOR CHENEY FOR DOING THE PROCLAMATION.

[00:25:07]

THE ASIAN POPULATION IN FRISCO IS 26%.

TAMMY ALSO WANTED A BALANCED, NONPARTISAN TEAM THAT CONSISTED OF BOTH A REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRAT TO HELP REGISTER VOTERS WITHIN OUR CITY.

I WAS ASKED TO REPRESENT THE REPUBLICAN SIDE AND JENNY WAS ASKED TO REPRESENT THE DEMOCRAT SIDE.

ACCORDING TO US CENSUS DATA FROM 2020, AS MANY AS ONE IN FOUR ELIGIBLE AMERICANS ARE NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE.

EVERY YEAR, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FIND THEMSELVES UNABLE TO VOTE BECAUSE IT'S REPETITIVE.

MAYOR CHENEY SAID THIS EARLIER.

THEY MISS A REGISTRATION DEADLINE, DON'T UPDATE THE REGISTRATION OR AREN'T SURE HOW TO REGISTER.

WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS A VOICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE.

VOTING IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO HELP MAKE KEY DECISIONS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT YOU WANT FOR YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR COMMUNITY.

VOTING IS YOUR CHANCE TO STAND UP FOR THE ISSUES YOU CARE ABOUT.

WHILE PRESIDENTIAL OR OTHER NATIONAL ELECTIONS DRAW SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION, MIDTERM AND LOCAL ELECTIONS TYPICALLY SEE LESS VOTER TURNOUT.

AND GUESS WHAT? LOCAL ELECTIONS IMPACT US THE MOST AND DIRECTLY.

LOW TURNOUT MEANS THAT IMPORTANT LOCAL ISSUES ARE DETERMINED BY A SMALL OR LIMITED GROUP OF VOTERS MAKING A SINGLE VOTE EVEN MORE STATISTICALLY MEANINGFUL.

WHILE CERTAIN PROPOSITIONS MAY BE POPULAR AND THEREFORE SEEM LIKE A SURE THING, THEY CAN FAIL IF PEOPLE STAY AT HOME AND DON'T GET OUT AND VOTE.

WHILE WORKING WITH TAMMY AND JENNY, W ALL AGREE THAT THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER IN OUR GREAT CITY, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL VIEWS.

MY CONSERVATIVE VALUES INCLUDE RESPECTING OTHERS AND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A CIVIL CONVERSATION WITH EVERYONE, EVEN THOSE WHO I DISAGREE WITH.

AND MANY TIMES HAVING AN OPEN CONVERSATION IS VERY MUCH NEEDED.

AND YOU MAY REALIZE WE ALL HAVE MORE THINGS IN COMMON THAN NOT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND HOPE TO GET MORE VOTERS OUT AT THE POLLS THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER ELECTION AND OUR LOCAL ELECTIONS COMING UP IN MAY.

THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

[APPLAUSE] Y'ALL WANT TO HOLD THESE TOGETHER? [LAUGHTER] THANK YALL.

OKAY. THAT WILL MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT.

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

OUR FIRST PERSON.

SO PURSUANT TO OUR POLICIES AND OUR PUBLIC COMMENT ORDINANCES, I MOVE THAT WE REDUCE THE COMMENT TIME FROM 5 MINUTES DOWN TO 3 MINUTES.

QUESTION BY BILL. SECOND.

SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. MOTION PASSES 6-0 AND JUST BEFORE ANGELIA STARTS CALLING NAMES.

SO WE WE THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.

WE CERTAINLY WANT TO HEAR INPUT.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, AS CITIZEN INPUT IS FOR COUNCIL TO RECEIVE INFORMATION.

AND SINCE IT'S NOT POSTED AGENDA ITEMS, WE CAN'T NECESSARILY COMMENT OR GIVE OPINIONS TO THAT, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY DIRECT YOU IN WAYS TO GET THOSE ANSWERED.

I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK ON A SPECIFIC ITEM.

IF YOU AGREE WITH COMMENTS THAT A PREVIOUS SPEAKER HAS GIVEN, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY FOR YOU TO REPEAT THOSE.

YOU CAN SAY I AGREE ON THE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE REGARDING A CERTAIN ITEM AS WELL, JUST SO WE CAN GET ALL OF YOU HOME AND HEARD AT A REASONABLE TIME.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. OUR FIRST RESIDENT TO SPEAK IS GAIL STEVENS.

AND THEN AFTER GAIL WILL BE KAMAL BANSI.

SO IF YOU CAN STAGE UP FRONT AT THE PODIUM.

GOOD EVENING TO ALL OF YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR CITY SO WELL.

AND CITY MANAGER PIERSON, WE WELCOME YOU.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO GIVE GRATITUDE TO FIRE CHIEF MARK PILAND, WHO IS RETIRING.

AND HE'S SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN.

AND I JUST AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT AND A GREAT CITY.

AND THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.

AND THE SECOND ITEM IS TO WELCOME H-E-B TO FRISCO.

IT'S REALLY A WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE STORE AND EXPERIENCE AND I KNOW IT'S JUST GOING TO STRENGTHEN US AND ENLIVEN US

[00:30:10]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. KAMAL BANSI.

HELLO EVERYONE. I'M KAMAL BASNSI, MEMBERSHIP CHAIR FOR THE BOARD OF HERITAGE ASSOCIATION OF FRISCO AND I HAVE TRACIE SHIPMAN WITH ME.

OUR 13TH ANNUAL SHAWNEE TRAIL COWBOY DAY IS ON 24TH OF SEPTEMBER, THIS SATURDAY FROM NOON TO FIVE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES AND EXHIBITS FOR THE CITIZENS, FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND WE CELEBRATE THE RICH HISTORY OF FRISCO DURING THAT TIME, AND WE WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO JOIN US.

AND TRACIE IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW YOU GUYS CAN BE THERE.

GREAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANKS, KAMAL. WE WEREN'T SURE HOW MUCH TIME IT WOULD TAKE.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY LOVES TO COME AND VISIT.

YOU CAN WALK AROUND FOR FREE AT THE EVENT AND SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE ACTUALLY FREE LIKE OUR OUR SHOOT OUT THAT WE HAVE AND ALL KINDS OF FUN THINGS, OLD FASHIONED COWBOYS, THAT'S FREE.

SOME OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ARMADILLO RACES, WHICH ARE A CROWD FAVORITE AND RIDING ON THE STAGECOACH, YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE A WRISTBAND FOR THAT.

AND SO THE WRISTBANDS ARE $5 EACH OR FOR A FAMILY, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER, $15.

SO IT MAKES IT WORTHWHILE TO COME OUT AND COME HAVE SOME FUN, HANG OUT WITH US THIS SATURDAY FROM 12 TO 5 AT THE FRISCO HERITAGE CENTER, SHAWNEE TRAIL, COWBOY DAYS.

AND WE HOPE TO SEE EVERY ONE OF YOU OUT THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. DONNA.

DONNA SCHMITTLER. HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. DONNA SCHMITTLER.

7037 WHITE ROCK, FORT FRISCO, TEXAS.

I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE HERITAGE TODAY, BUT I AM HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT ANOTHER WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.

FRISCO ARTS 2021.

YOU CAN WALK AROUND ON OCTOBER 1ST AT HALL PARK FROM OCTOBER, FROM 830 TO 1030.

YOU CAN SEE PERFORMERS SING AND PERFORMERS DANCE.

YOU CAN WATCH PEOPLE PAINT AND YOU CAN JUST ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL DAY.

AND IF YOU DO THAT, THIS IS THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF FRISCO ARTS.

THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL MEDAL WITH A 25 IN, WHICH I WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING TONIGHT, BUT I LEFT IT IN THE OTHER CAR.

SO I STAND CORRECTED.

BUT HERE, FRISCO ARTS, WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU ALL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DONNA.

SUNIT AND PARDON ME IF I'M MISPRONOUNCING YOUR NAME.

SUNIT RIKHI? THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT? AWESOME. AND THEN AFTER MR. RIKHI IS [INAUDIBLE], IF YOU COULD COME TOWARDS THE FRONT SO WE CAN STAGE YOU AS WELL.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

SO TODAY I'M REPRESENTING OUR RESIDENTS ON THE ROCK HILL ROAD.

WE ALREADY MAILED YOU GUYS A FEW TIMES ABOUT IT, BUT WE CAME HERE ALL TOGETHER HERE JUST TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SERIOUS ISSUE WE ARE HAVING.

SO FEW DAYS BACK, WE STARTED SEEING THE CONSTRUCTION BY THE DELFIN CONSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WAREHOUSE ON THE ROCK HILL.

IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA AND NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S VERY CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREA.

IT HAS THREE SCHOOLS IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY.

SO IT'S POSING A VERY, VERY GRAVE DANGER FOR THE STUDENTS WHO GO TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING AND OTHER RESIDENTS, BECAUSE AS PER THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, THERE WILL BE AROUND 800 SEMI TRUCKS ENTERING INTO THAT COMPLEX EVERY DAY AND THEY'LL BE ENTERING FROM THE ROCK HILL, WHICH IS VERY, VERY NARROW ROAD.

AND WE KIND OF LIVE ON THE PENINSULA BECAUSE THE LAST PART OF THE ROAD IT ENDS AT THE LAKE.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE FOR THE EXIT AND ENTRY INTO FOUR OR FIVE NEIGHBORHOODS OF THAT PLACE.

SO FIRST OF ALL, IT WILL CAUSE A LOT OF TRAFFIC ISSUES AND THE GRAVE ISSUES FOR THE STUDENTS GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING AND EVENING.

AND THEN IT WILL CAUSE A LOT OF NOISE POLLUTION OVER THERE IF THERE ARE 800 TRUCKS AND THEY WILL BE EVEN STANDING THERE OVERNIGHT.

AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR HOUSES JUST NEXT TO THE THIS WAREHOUSE, IT WILL BE A VERY BIG TROUBLE FOR THEM IF THERE'S LIGHTING FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT OR, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF COMMOTION.

AND SO WE REQUEST YOU, WE TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE BUILDER, BUT WE DIDN'T GET ANY RESPONSE.

SO WE REQUEST YOU TO HELP ON THIS MATTER.

[00:35:01]

SO I'LL REALLY REQUEST THAT YOU PLEASE GUIDE US AND HELP US TALK TO THE BUILDER OVER THERE SO THAT WE CAN OVERCOME THIS SITUATION.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

MR. [INAUDIBLE], PLEASE.

HELLO. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I CAME HERE TO REGISTER MY OPPOSITION TOWARDS THE WAREHOUSES, WHICH IS BUILDING NEXT TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER SUNIT.

THE MAJORITY HE MENTIONED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A LITTLE MORE ON THE SAME ISSUE.

ONE IS WE RECENTLY MOVED TO FRISCO AND WE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE FRISCO, ABOUT THE NUMBER ONE PLACE TO LIVE IN THE US.

AND THE BIGGEST THE SHOCK IS THERE WAS LIKE 800 TRUCKS EVERY DAY COMING TO THE NARROWED ROCK HILL AND IT WILL INCREASE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. AND IT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE TO GO INTO THE HOUSES ITSELF AND WALKING WITH THE KIDS NEXT TO THE TRUCK.

EVEN I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NEXT TO THE TRUCK.

BUT WE NEED TO WALK WITH OUR KIDS WHO ARE YOUNGER, NEXT TO THE TRUCKS.

AND IT HAS BEEN APPROVED WITH WAREHOUSES APPROVED BY THE FRISCO CITY, WHICH IS THE BIGGEST SHOCK.

AND THERE ARE A DEAD END ROAD, WHICH IS LIKE A VALENCIA AND OTHER COMMUNITIES FRISCO HILLS.

THEY NEED TO TAKE THAT ONLY FROM OUR CITY THAT IS A FRISCO CITY.

I MEAN, FRISCO CITY APPROVED.

BUT THE NEXT CITY IS I MEAN, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.

BUT WE WANT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR CITIES.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A FULL RIGHT TO UPLOAD ALL THIS, I MEAN, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THEIR SITUATION AS WELL.

YEAH. AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE THREE SCHOOLS I'VE MENTIONED, THERE'S ONE MORE SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL ALSO COMING.

IT'S LIKE FOUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS WITHIN TWO MILES AND THERE IS NO BUSES, ALWAYS WORK THAT IS APPROVED BY THE CITY.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST ALL OF THE MEMBERS TO CONSIDER 50 AND OUR NIGHTMARE. YOU ARE REQUESTING TO THINK IN OUR SHOES HOW WE CAN LIVE NEXT TO THE WAREHOUSES AND ALL THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. JUST ONE QUICK POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

THIS WILL NOT BE AN ITEM THAT COMES BEFORE A CITY COUNCIL AS THIS ZONING WAS APPROVED, I THINK 30 YEARS AGO.

SO IT WON'T BE AN ACTION THAT COMES BEFORE CITY COUNCIL.

CERTAINLY OUR STAFF WILL LISTEN TO ALL YOUR FEEDBACK TONIGHT AND DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN.

EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE LIMITED GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY TO AFFECT ANY CHANGE, WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE CONVERSATIONS TO HOPEFULLY TRY TO CONVINCE THEM TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

SO THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE].

AND WHILE MR. [INAUDIBLE] IS COMING FORWARD, [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT OUR CASE.

AND AS SUNIT AND [INAUDIBLE] ALREADY POINTED OUT, I AGREE WITH ALL THE POINTS THAT THEY HAVE MENTIONED.

I WANT TO ADD ON SOME MORE POINTS.

WE STAY [INAUDIBLE] LANE.

IT'S LIKE RIGHT BEHIND [INAUDIBLE] LANE THE CONSTRUCTION OF ARROWS IS HAPPENING.

SO IT'S LIKE NOT ONLY THE NOISE POLLUTION, AIR POLLUTION, I MEAN, AND THE BUILDER IS NOT TAKING ANY CARE WHILE DOING THE CONSTRUCTION.

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE PUTTING THE BIG SOIL PILE RIGHT BEHIND OUR BACKYARD.

IT'S LIKE ANYONE CAN JUMP IN.

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE NOT TAKING ANY PRECAUTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO, I MEAN, IT'S LIKE VERY SCARY AT NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE CAN INTRUDE INTO THE HOUSE.

SO I HAVE THESE CONCERNS.

AND APART FROM THAT, I AGREE WITH ALL THE POINTS THAT MY FRIENDS HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED.

YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

JOHN, IF THERE ARE ISSUES THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES NEED TO LOOK INTO, IS THAT IN THE MY FRISCO APP FOR THEM TO REPORT? IS THAT AN OPTION IN THERE OR SHOULD THEY JUST CALL? IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COMES UP, JUST CONTACT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND SOMETIMES IT'S ENGINEERING OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

[00:40:05]

ONCE IN A WHILE SOMEBODY GOES ROGUE AND WE BRING THEM IN.

WE WORK WITH THE POLICE ON THAT.

BUT AS FAR AS THE DIRT PILE, I THINK THAT HAS BEEN MOVED.

I WAS TOLD BY ENGINEERING THAT THAT WAS BEING MOVED.

THE DEVELOPER ADMITTED THAT WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE RESIDENTIAL.

SO MAYBE JUST TO PREEMPT SOME OTHER THINGS WE MAY HEAR FROM SPEAKERS.

YOU HAD SENT OUT A VERY LENGTHY KIND OF RESPONSE TO Q&A.

IF SOMEONE WANTS THAT DOCUMENT SO THEY COULD READ IT, WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY FOR THEM TO GET IT? THEY CAN REACH OUT TO ME OR MILLIE RHOADES AND THAT'S THE PERSON THAT WE MET WITH THAT SHE SENT IN THE QUESTIONS THAT SHE OBTAINED FROM HER NEIGHBORS.

SO EITHER MYSELF OR MILLIE RHOADES.

AND IF THERE'S A CONSTRUCTION CONDITION LIKE THE PRIOR SPEAKER SAID, HOW DO THEY CONTACT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO MAKE THEM AWARE? JUST CONTACT MY OFFICE AND SO THE NUMBER IS 972-292-5300 AND THEN WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH THAT AND DIRECT IT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. OKAY.

AND THAT INFORMATION IS ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.

SO. HI.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER THE SAME POSITION TO THE WAREHOUSE.

I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT ALL THE POINTS THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS VOICED, BUT TWO MAJOR THINGS.

ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY AND THE TRAFFIC STUDY? BECAUSE THE STUDY BASED ON WHICH WAS DONE, IS QUITE A WHILE BACK.

AND WE KNOW THIS WORK IS COMING IN AND WITH SO MUCH OF TRAFFIC COMING IN.

ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO A STUDY AND SEE? ARE YOU PLANNING TO INCLUDE ANY ROAD MAP TO IMPROVE THIS CONGESTION, TRAFFIC AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATION AT THAT POINT? BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO BUILD MY HOUSE IN FRISCO.

LOOKING AT THE PROGRESS, YOUR APPROACH OF THE FRISCO CITY.

RIGHT. I DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO GO THROUGH THESE ENVIRONMENTAL AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS EVERY DAY OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS IF I PLAN TO LIVE MY LIFE HERE.

I DO NOT WANT MY KIDS TO GO THROUGH THIS ENVIRONMENT AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

SO I REQUEST YOU TO DO A REEVALUATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND TRAFFIC STUDY AND HELP THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE THE FAMILIES THAT ARE GOING TO AFFECTED IS NOT ONE OR TWO.

IT'S MORE THAN 2000 FAMILIES WITH KIDS WHO ARE GOING TO THESE SCHOOLS THROUGH THIS POINT.

SO I REQUEST ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IF LET'S SEE IF WE CAN INFLUENCE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR THE BUILDER TO CONSIDER ANY APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO TAKE IS THE SITUATION WOULD BE GREATLY HELPFUL FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

KIRAN GUPTA.

WHILE HE'S COMING UP, MR. MAYOR, I BELIEVE THE QUESTION ABOUT THE TRAFFIC WAS IN THE DOCUMENT THAT JOHN HAD SENT OUT ALSO.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF THAT INFORMATION MAY BE IN THERE FOR YOU.

AND WHILE MR. GUPTA IS COMING FORWARD, VINOD KUMAR, IF YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WAY TOWARDS THE FRONT.

HI COUNSELOR. THANKS FOR GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK.

I AM ALSO HERE FOR THE SAME ALL THE SPEAKERS WHO SPOKE BEFORE.

ON ONE POINT YOU GUYS MENTIONED IT WAS ABOUT 36 YEARS BACK.

WE TOTALLY AGREE.

BUT 36 YEARS BACK THERE WAS NO RESIDENTS THERE.

RIGHT? SO WHEN IT WAS ZONED 36 YEARS BACK, IT WAS GIVEN FOR INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY.

BUT NOW THERE IS LITTLE ELM, THE THREE FRISCO HILLS [INAUDIBLE] UNDER THE ROCK HILL, WHICH IS PART OF FRISCO.

SO THERE IS LIKE IF I DRIVE DOWN UNDER ROCK HILL, WHICH IS A DEAD END, LIKE 3000 HOUSES MIGHT COME IN THE FUTURE AND THERE IS ALREADY 2500 HOUSES AND ONLY ONE ENTRY POINT.

SO JUST REQUESTING YOU TO HELP US BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO.

YEAH. JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT ONE.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AGAIN.

I'M PART OF THE SAME COMMUNITY ADJOINING THIS WAREHOUSE.

WE MOVED IN FROM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, AGAIN, FOR REASONS THAT THE CITY IS GROWING, AND WE'LL HAVE A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR KIDS TO GROW UP AS WELL.

BUT THIS WAS A PRETTY BIG SURPRISE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT WE SEE A WAREHOUSE COMING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE COMMUNITY HERE.

RIGHT. I MEAN, IT'S HOUSING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

IF YOU JUST LOOK AT IT FROM AN AERIAL VIEW, THERE'S HOUSES AND HOUSES AND HOUSES AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS BIG POCKET OF LAND WHICH IS BEING CONVERTED INTO A WAREHOUSE.

[00:45:05]

I'M SURE YOU HAVE GONE BY THIS ROAD RIGHT NOW.

TURNING FROM 423 INTO ROCKVILLE ITSELF TAKES US 15 MINUTES EASILY AT PEAK TRAFFIC TIME.

SO WITH ANOTHER 800 TRUCKS COMING IN, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WILL ALL GO HOME.

WE'LL BE JUST STAYING ON THE ROAD FOR QUITE A NUMBER OF TIME, RIGHT? THAT'S ONE. THE OTHER IS THERE ARE SCHOOLS LIKE THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS MENTIONED, THERE IS A MIDDLE SCHOOL OF LITTLE ELM THIS MINUTE THAT'S JUST STARTED THIS YEAR.

THEN THERE'S A MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL COMING UP NEXT YEAR JUST ON ROCK HILL.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT OUR KIDS TO GO THERE WHEN THERE'S NO BUS? AS LIKE THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS MENTIONED, THEY HAVE TO WALK, THEY HAVE TO CROSS THIS ROAD AND THEY HAVE TO TAKE EITHER WALK OR CYCLE AROUND.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE.

SO, AGAIN, OUR HUMBLE REQUEST, WE'RE ALL NEW TO THIS PLACE, NEW TO THIS KIND OF A SITUATION HERE, BECAUSE YOUR GUIDANCE AND THEN PLEASE HELP US IN WHATEVER WAY YOU CAN HELP US.

THANK YOU. AND OUR FINAL PERSON TO SPEAK TONIGHT IS MILLIE RHOADES.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR CHENEY.

AS YOU STATED, MY NAME IS MILLIE RHOADES AND YOU'VE HEARD FROM SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE NEARBY RESIDENTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF ROCK HILL AND 423.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW, AT THAT INTERSECTION, WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO WHERE THE PGA IS BEING DEVELOPED, THE CITY'S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE HAS APPROVED THREE MASSIVE AMAZON TYPE DELIVERY LAST MILE WAREHOUSES.

AND AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM OTHERS, THERE'S MANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.

I WON'T GO OVER THOSE AGAIN.

BUT I WILL SAY ONE WEEK AGO, I CREATED A FACEBOOK GROUP SIMPLY FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THAT GROUP ALREADY HAS 760 MEMBERS.

ON FRIDAY, A PETITION WAS CREATED IN OPPOSITION TO THESE WAREHOUSES THAT ALREADY HAS 1200 SIGNATURES.

EARLIER TONIGHT, WE HEARD THE PHRASE WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION WEEK, THAT LOST RIGHTS WILL NEVER BE REGAINED.

AND I WANT TO APPLY THAT STATEMENT TO THE SITUATION AT HAND.

IF WE ALLOW THESE HOMEOWNERS TO LOSE THEIR RIGHTS, THEY WILL NEVER BE REGAINED.

AS A RESULT, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE WAREHOUSES NEEDS TO BE SCRUTINIZED AND POTENTIALLY PREVENTED BEFORE THESE HOMEOWNERS AND THEIR RIGHTS ARE LOST AND NEVER REGAINED. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS BEEN NAMED ON MULTIPLE LISTS OF TOP PLACES TO LIVE.

I THINK WE ALL CELEBRATE THAT.

AS A AS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY AND IT PROBABLY HELPS OUR PROPERTY VALUES.

IF THE CITY CONTINUES DOWN THE PATH OF ALLOWING MASSIVE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS SAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE LARGEST DEVELOPMENTS OF ITS TYPE IN THIS REGION.

THE CITY IS NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE NAMED ON THESE LISTS.

RATHER, FRISCO WILL END UP ON LISTS SUCH AS THE WORST 50 PLACES TO LIVE IN AMERICA.

AND I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT WE DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

TODAY, I WANT YOU TO PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF THESE HOMEOWNERS, AND I AM ALSO ONE OF THE HOMEOWNERS.

THERE'S A LARGE GROUP AT THE BACK THAT CHOSE NOT TO SPEAK BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT YOU ALL TO HAVE TO HEAR THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER.

WE ALL HAVE VERY SIMILAR CONCERNS.

I WANT YOU TO THINK IF THESE WAREHOUSES WERE BEING BUILT IN YOUR BACKYARD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING HAS ALREADY APPROVED THESE WAREHOUSES.

BUT IF IT WERE YOU WOULD YOU SIMPLY STOP THERE AND SAY, WELL, IT WAS ZONED FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, GUESS I SHOULD JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH IT HAPPEN, OR WOULD YOU LOOK AT IT FURTHER AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU CAN DO DESPITE THE ZONING.

I THINK THAT THERE ARE ORDINANCES THE CITY CAN PUT INTO PLACE.

THERE ARE PRESSURES THAT THE CITY CAN PUT INTO PLACE THAT CAN HELP THESE HOMEOWNERS BEFORE THEY LOSE THEIR RIGHTS.

IN CLOSING, I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU A STORY.

I ONCE WORKED FOR A CEO THAT I WOULD TELL HIM, LOOK, SIR, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

AND HE WOULD SAY, I WANT YOU TO GET CREATIVE.

SO I BEG YOU, OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, TO GET CREATIVE, LOOK PAST THE ZONING AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP THESE CITIZENS.

LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED.

AND SO WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[00:50:07]

AS MAYOR CHENEY SAID EARLIER, THIS ITEM IS NOT ON OUR COUNCIL AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

BUT WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS, AS HAS BEEN INDICATED, THAT ARE IN THE BACK WHO ARE NOT WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, BUT WANT TO HAVE ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THEY DO NOT SUPPORT THIS MATTER.

AND SO I'M GOING TO CALL OFF THEIR NAMES PRETTY QUICKLY.

I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY WELL OVER ABOUT 20.

WE WILL RECORD ALL OF THESE NAMES THAT HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ITEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE NAMES ARE RECORDED IN OUR RECORD.

SO FOR TONIGHT, WE'LL PASS ON THAT.

AND I'LL JUST ADD ONE MORE COMMENT TO THIS ITEM.

I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS SYMPATHETIC TO THE RESIDENTS WHO CAME HERE AND SPOKE HERE TODAY.

I THINK WE SPEND 90% OF OUR ENERGIES FIGHTING BAD HISTORICAL ZONING.

QUITE HONESTLY, IT'S WHY WE WERE LATE COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WHY WE'RE LATE COMING OUT OF MOST EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, IS THAT WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BE CREATIVE.

THE STANDARD WE SET FOR DEVELOPMENT IN FRISCO IS NOT JUST HIGH.

IT'S PROBABLY THE HIGHEST IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.

IT'S WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DO BUSINESS HERE.

IT'S WHY PEOPLE, THE BEST DEVELOPERS CHOOSE TO COME BUILD HERE.

IT'S QUITE FRANKLY WHY PEOPLE LIKE Y'ALL CHOOSE TO MOVE HERE.

AND SO PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENTS AND PROTECTING ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU SAID IS SOMETHING WE HOLD DEAR.

AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY FUNDAMENTAL TO ALL OF US, JUST BEING COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT.

THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS A LOT OF CONTROL OVER ZONING LAWS AND WHAT CITIES CAN DO.

THE CITY OF FRISCO IS PROBABLY THE MOST AGGRESSIVE CITY IN TEXAS IN FIGHTING THOSE.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT BECAUSE THE STANDARD IS, AGAIN, VERY HIGH HERE.

AND SO I DON'T WANT TO SET ANY FALSE EXPECTATIONS.

TEXAS IS VERY MUCH A PROPERTY RIGHTS STATE.

AND SO THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS ALSO HAVE RIGHTS THAT OWN THE LAND WHERE ALL YOUR HOMES ARE BUILT, CURRENTLY USED TO ALSO BE ZONED INDUSTRIAL AND CAME THROUGH THE PROCESSES OF CHANGING TO BE RESIDENTIAL ZONING.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU, AND I THINK I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF CITY COUNCIL, IS THAT WE WILL WORK WITH CITY STAFF AND COMMUNICATE WITH THAT DEVELOPER TO SHARE THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HEARD TONIGHT AND TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP ADDRESS ANY AND ALL CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP OR HOW WE CAN MAKE THAT DEVELOPMENT THE BEST CASE SITUATION.

REGARDING THE BUSING AND THE CHILDREN ACCESS TO THE SCHOOLS, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO REACH OUT TO YOUR TRUSTEES AS WELL AND JUST LET THEM KNOW YOUR CONCERNS WITH THAT SITUATION IS HOW YOUR CHILDREN WILL GET SAFELY TO THE SCHOOLS AND THEY WILL HAVE AN ACTIVE EAR TO LISTEN TO YOU AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL.

THIS IS WHAT CITIZEN INPUT IS FOR, FOR US TO HEAR FROM YOU AND FOR US TO KIND OF GO BACK AND ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO WORK WITH STAFF TO HELP.

SO THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO OUR REPORT SECTION.

ITEM 8 IS OUR BUDGET STATUS REPORT.

[8. Budget Status Report for August 2022.]

YOU HAVE OUR AUGUST FINANCIAL REPORT.

IN JUST TEN SHORT DAYS, IT'LL BE THE NEW FINANCIAL YEAR.

YAY. ONLY ACCOUNTANTS LIKE THAT, I GUESS.

ANYWAY, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

EVERYTHING'S TRACKING AS WE PROJECTED BACK IN THE SUMMER.

SO WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR END.

COUNCIL WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? I THINK WE SPEND ENOUGH TIME BEATING YOU UP OVER THE BUDGET PROCESS.

YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO SAY, JENNY WILL BE PRESENTING THE BUDGET ITEMS HERE SOON.

AND WE'VE GOT BRETT PETERSON HERE TO PRESENT THE RIGHT INCREASE FEE ORDINANCE.

AND THE STAFF, JENNY AND HER STAFF, TANYA AND BRETT AND HER STAFF HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB THIS YEAR.

I THINK IT WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR AND I'M REAL PROUD OF THE WORK THEY'VE DONE ON OUR BUDGET FOR YOU ALL.

SO. WE AGREE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

LET'S MOVE TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT.

[9. Development Services monthly activity update report for the month of August 2022.]

AND SO AS IT CAME OUT IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, WE'RE GOING TO BE REPORTING TO YOU ALL HOW THAT STR PROGRAM IS WORKING NEXT AUGUST.

[00:55:04]

AND IF ANY ISSUES, ISSUES COME UP BEFORE THEN, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE REPORT.

WE ESTIMATED THERE WAS WELL OVER 250.

YES. SO WE'RE SCRATCHING THE SURFACE AT THIS POINT.

YEAH. JUST FOLLOW UP FROM THE CITIZEN INPUT, JOHN, THAT WE JUST HAD.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO MAYBE KIND OF MEET ONE ON ONE WITH A PERSON DOING BUSINESS THERE JUST TO SEE WHAT WHAT THEY CAN DO OR OFFER TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

WELL, ACTUALLY, I MET WITH THE DEVELOPER ON FRIDAY.

WE HAD A MEETING SET UP PRIOR TO THE PHONE CALL THAT WE HAD WITH MILLIE AND MADE HIM AWARE, YOU KNOW, FOLLOW THE, DON'T START TOO EARLY, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR SITE CLEAN, THE TYPICAL STUFF.

AND AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE MEETING THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND MEETING OUR STANDARDS.

AND SO AND THEN ALSO WITHIN THAT RESPONSE THAT I SENT OUT, WORKING WITH JOEL FITTS LIKE THE WAREHOUSE IS GOING TO GENERATE FAR LESS TRIPS THAN IF IT DEVELOPED EITHER AS OFFICE OR RETAIL.

I KNOW THEY'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO NECESSARILY HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS, BUT IS THAT AN OPTION? BECAUSE IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE, AGAIN, COMMUNICATION JUST CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE DEVELOPERS SOMETIMES COMMUNICATING TO THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE NEARBY.

WELL, I'LL BE VERY CLEAR. IF WE HAVE THE MEETING, IT'S AND DON'T WANT TO SET THE WRONG EXPECTATIONS, BECAUSE I'VE RUN INTO THIS IN THE PAST WHERE YOU SET UP A MEETING AND AND ONE SIDE MAY BE EXPECTING CHANGE AND SAY, HERE'S THE LETTER OF THE LAW.

THEY'RE VESTED IN THE PROPERTY.

THEY'RE MEETING THE STANDARDS.

AND YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPER HAS THEIR RIGHT TO GO FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT AS APPROVED.

SO WE CAN HAVE THE MEETING.

BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARRIVE WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE MAJOR CHANGES AND YOU'VE GOT TO MANAGE THOSE EXPECTATIONS.

I COMPLETELY GET IT. I JUST THINK THAT IF THERE IS A WAY THAT THEY COULD AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN POSED, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF LAYING THAT OUT IN AN EMAIL FORMAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HELP IF THE DEVELOPER IS ABLE TO JUST KIND OF DO A Q&A JUST TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS IF THEY'RE AMIABLE TO DO THAT.

I THINK I WOULD BE OPEN TO IT.

I'LL VISIT WITH THEM AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING SET UP IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.

THANK YOU. HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. NEWS ITEM 10, THE VISIT FRISCO REPORT.

[10. Visit Frisco August Sales and marketing reports and July metrics report.]

I'M CHRISTINA DECKER.

I'M HERE FOR MALA ROE WITH VISIT FRISCO.

SHE WANTED ME TO POINT OUT THAT THE BUXTON WILL REPORT AT YOUR NEXT WORK SESSION, WHICH IS OCTOBER 4TH ON THE RAIL DISTRICT.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THOSE RESULTS.

AND THEN MARLA WILL BE REPORTING IN NOVEMBER ON OUR STAFF THAT WE'RE REBUILDING POST-COVID.

SO WE'LL HAVE THREE NEW EMPLOYEES THAT SHE'LL REPORT ON.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REPORTS? QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GET THAT BUXTON STUDY BACK.

SO THOSE ARE ALWAYS FASCINATING.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. WE MOVE THIS TO ITEM 11, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT.

[11. Fire Department monthly report on incident responses and educational activities for the month of August 2022.]

SEPTEMBER WAS QUITE A BUSY MONTH.

ON SEPTEMBER 11TH OR SEPTEMBER 10TH, SATURDAY, ACTUALLY, WE HAD 15 OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS, SOME COMPANY OFFICERS AND BATTALION CHIEF GO TO DALLAS TO 110 STAIR CLIMB.

AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, WE HELD OUR 911 REMEMBRANCE THIS YEAR.

AND THIS YEAR WE COMBINED IT WITH THE CITY AND THE FRISCO GARDEN CLUB TOGETHER.

IT'S QUITE A BEAUTIFUL EVENT AND WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT HELPED US.

WE HAD REPRESENTATION FROM THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BOTH THE POLICE AND FIRE, OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT, PARKS DEPARTMENT, FRISCO GARDEN CLUB, HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL, FRISCO ISD CHORAL STUDIES.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAD TWO SPONSORS THAT HELPED PROVIDE THE REEFS AND THE BROCHURES, AND BOTH OF THAT WAS TURRENTINE JACKSON FUNERAL HOME AND NORTH DALLAS BANK AND TRUST.

AND THEN THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE HAD OUR 15 YEAR CELEBRATION.

THIS WAS FOR FRISCO FIRE SAFETY TOWN, PRESENTED BY TEXAS HEALTH'S HOSPITAL OF FRISCO.

THE BIGGEST THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IS ON FRIDAY, WE HAD A GROUP OF PEOPLE CAME TO SAFETY TOWN AND BECAUSE OF LEADERSHIP FRISCO, CLASS 25, WE

[01:00:02]

THIS IS VERY HUGE BECAUSE THIS WAS ALL DONATED BETWEEN.

THEY HAD THREE MAJOR SPONSORS.

THEY HAD IKEA CORE AND TECH LEADERS.

OVER $100,000 WAS DONATED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

AND ON SATURDAY, WE CELEBRATED THE 15 YEAR CELEBRATION.

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THE RENOVATIONS, WE REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME BY AND SEE IT.

BUT IT'S REALLY A NICE THING.

IN OCTOBER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.

REALLY IN FRISCO IT'S FIRE PREVENTION MONTH.

WE'RE IN THOSE SCHOOLS PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

THE SAYING THIS YEAR IS FIRE WON'T WAIT.

PLAN YOUR ESCAPE.

AND WITH THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON OUR MONTHLY REPORT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.

I REALLY ENJOYED THE SEPTEMBER 11TH COMBINED CEREMONY THIS YEAR.

THAT WAS WELL DONE.

WE DID CERTAINLY LEARN THIS YEAR THAT WE NEED TO CHECK THE WIND DIRECTION BEFORE WE FIRE OFF THE FIRE HOSES.

[LAUGHTER] YES, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, IT WAS PERFECTLY EXECUTED.

THE OTHER THING I WILL SAY IS WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS OR I LEARNED SOME THINGS AT THE 15 YEAR CELEBRATION OF SAFETY TOWN.

AND PART OF THE COMMENTS WERE, OF COURSE, FRISCO WAS NAMED THE NUMBER ONE SAFEST COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

THAT'S DECADES OF COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

IT'S NOT JUST INVESTMENTS WITH OUR BUDGET GIVING THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES, IT'S ALSO THE TRAINING, BUT ALSO INVESTMENTS IN EDUCATION.

AND THE SAFETY TOWN IS ONE OF THOSE PILLARS FOR THAT.

AND THE STATS THAT I LEARNED, WHICH IS I MAY BUTCHER THEM AND THEN YOU CAN CORRECT ME, BUT I THOUGHT I REMEMBER THEM SAYING SOMETHING LIKE 70 TO 75% OF ALL FIRES ARE PREVENTABLE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NATIONAL AVERAGES, I THINK FRISCO WAS SOMETHING LIKE 40% UNDER THE NATIONAL AVERAGES FOR FIRES.

AND A LOT OF THAT I THINK IS FROM EDUCATION RESULTS ALONG THOSE LINES.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

COUNCIL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? SO I'M A PROUD MEMBER OF THAT LEADERSHIP 25.

SO YES, PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T GET TO MAKE IT TO THE MOST RECENT 15 YEAR CELEBRATION, I DO WANT TO SHAMELESSLY PLUG THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY COMING UP IN OCTOBER WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FALL FESTIVAL AT SAFETY TOWN.

SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS OCTOBER 28TH FROM 6 TO 9 P.M.

THAT NIGHT IS GOING TO BE THE FALL FESTIVAL AND HOPEFULLY IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE BEFORE, THEN YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET TO CHECK IT OUT THEN.

QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 12, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S REPORT.

[12. Police Department's crime statistics and response times for the month of August 2022.]

I'LL START WITH RECENTLY WE HAD OUR WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT EVENT AND WE ALWAYS ENJOY HIGHLIGHTING THE AMAZING WOMEN FROM ACROSS OUR DEPARTMENT.

WE HAD, YOU KNOW, ANIMAL SERVICES PATROL DETECTIVES.

WE HAD OUR YOUNG EXPLORERS THERE, DISPATCH TRAFFIC VICTIMS ADVOCATES AND OUR CSI PEOPLE.

I'LL DO A PLUG FOR THEM.

IT'S FORENSIC SCIENCE WEEK.

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, WE PUT SOMETHING OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY.

SO BUT CERTAINLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT ALL THE AMAZING WOMEN THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND GIVE THE PUBLIC A CHANCE TO MEET AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS THAT THOSE AMAZING WOMEN PERFORM DAY TO DAY.

SO GREAT EVENT.

AND IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT THIS YEAR, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME NEXT YEAR WHEN WE HAVE THIS EVENT AGAIN.

WE ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SWEARING IN CEREMONY WHERE WE SWORE IN 13 BRAND NEW OFFICERS.

AND THAT'S KIND OF A BREAKDOWN OF HOW THE 13 WERE MADE UP.

BUT ALSO, I WILL HIGHLIGHT THAT TEN OF OUR 13 OFFICERS CAME TO US FROM, WITH EXPERIENCE FROM OUT OF STATE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO IT REALLY DOES UNDERSCORE THE FACT THAT WE'RE BECOMING A DESTINATION DEPARTMENT AND WE'RE RECRUITING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, WHICH IS ONLY GOING TO BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY LIKE TO POINT OUT.

ALSO, THOSE FOUR INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE WITH ME THERE IN THAT BOTTOM MIDDLE PICTURE, REPRESENT THE FIRST GRADUATES OF OUR LATERAL FAST TRACK ACADEMY.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN CITY COMMUNICATIONS JUST RECENTLY DID A PROGRESS AND MOTION VIDEO ON THAT.

AND ONCE AGAIN, ANOTHER WAY THAT WE CAN GET THIS VALUABLE LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE ON THE STREET QUICKER AND THEY REPRESENT THE FIRST GRADUATES OF THAT.

AND THEN LASTLY, WE HAD ONE FIC GRADUATE THAT CAME TO US FROM, WITH EXPERIENCE FROM ANOTHER NORTH TEXAS DEPARTMENT.

[01:05:09]

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST MONDAY TO TALK TO THE SCHOOL BOARD ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AND SCHOOL THREATS.

WE HAVE AT THE TIME WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM, WE HAD SEEN FIVE ARRESTS ALREADY THIS EARLY IN THE SCHOOL YEAR RELATED TO STUDENTS BEING ARRESTED FOR SCHOOL THREATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

SADLY, SINCE THEN, WE'RE UP TO SIX.

SO THE MOST RECENT ARREST WAS A FORMER STUDENT.

IT WASN'T A CURRENT STUDENT, BUT SIX YOUNG PEOPLE ARRESTED THIS EARLY IN THE SCHOOL YEAR IS CERTAINLY NOT WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

AND SO TONIGHT, I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUST HIGHLIGHT THE STATUTES INVOLVED WITH WITH THESE THREATS AND WHAT THE PENALTIES ARE.

SO THE FIRST IS TERRORISTIC THREAT.

AND REALLY, I JUST DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION REALLY TO ABOUT THE MIDDLE THERE WHERE IT MENTIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED WHEN YOU PLACE THE PUBLIC OR A SUBSTANTIAL GROUP OF THE PUBLIC IN FEAR OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.

AND CERTAINLY THAT'S HOW SOCIAL MEDIA SPREADS THESE THINGS.

AND THAT IS A THIRD DEGREE FELONY.

THE OTHER STATUTE THAT'S FREQUENTLY USED IS UNDER THE EDUCATION CODE, AND IT CAN BE A THIRD DEGREE FELONY OR A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR.

AND THIS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE THREATENING OR EXHIBITION OF A FIREARM.

SO BOTH OF THOSE, A THIRD DEGREE FELONY IS PUNISHABLE BY 2 TO 10 YEARS OF CONFINEMENT, AND THE CLASS A MISDEMEANOR IS PUNISHABLE BY UP TO ONE YEAR CONFINEMENT OR A $4,000 FINE OR BOTH.

SO THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THESE ACTIONS BY OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE SERIOUS.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE CONSEQUENCES AND REALLY JUST TRY AND REINFORCE THE MESSAGE THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A JOKE.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD, YOU KNOW TRY AND DO BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET MORE LIKES OR FOLLOWERS OR THEY THINK IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THERE IS NO FREE PASSES WHEN IT COMES TO THESE OFFENSES.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OUR YOUNG FOLKS KNOW THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE EACH OF THESE THREATS SERIOUSLY.

WE'RE GOING TO UTILIZE AS MANY RESOURCES AS WE NEED TO TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SOURCE AND MAKE AN ARREST WHEN APPROPRIATE.

SO IT'S LIKE I SAID, NOT PROUD OF WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN IMPROVE AS A COMMUNITY.

I THINK THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT.

AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, TONIGHT, I GUESS I WOULD CHALLENGE PARENTS TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR WITH THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR CHILDREN IN THEIR HOMES ABOUT RESPONSIBLE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA.

DON'T BE COMPLACENT AND TUNING OUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THE DIGITAL WORLD, BECAUSE THE DIGITAL WORLD IS SOMETHING THAT THEY NEED TO BE AWARE OF AND WHAT THEIR KIDS ARE DOING BECAUSE KIDS CAN JUST AS EASILY BE VICTIMIZED IN A LOT OF THESE ONLINE FORMS AND APPS.

AND SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF CHILD VICTIMS AS WELL.

BUT ALSO TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE REALLY TRY AND CHANGE, YOU KNOW, TURN THIS AROUND WITHIN.

AND IT'S REALLY TIME FOR THEM TO START THINKING ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT COULD COME OF A POST, THINKING BEFORE THEY POST. AND THE LEADERSHIP WITHIN OUR YOUNG COMMUNITY REALLY RISING UP AND TRYING TO AFFECT SOME POSITIVE CHANGE FROM WITHIN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE I SAID, IT'S A TEAM EFFORT, BOTH PARENTS, YOUNG PEOPLE AND US AS COMMUNITY LEADERS TO REALLY JUST REINFORCE THOSE MESSAGES AND JUST TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO FREE PASSES.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.

I WILL SAY AS A SILVER LINING, I'M EXTREMELY PROUD OF THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THESE THREATS TO US.

AND I DO WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR BECAUSE BECAUSE OF THEIR COURAGE, WE'RE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THOSE THINGS AND RESOLVE THEM PRETTY QUICKLY.

SO AND I'M ALSO VERY PROUD OF OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, OUR INVESTIGATORS, OUR PATROL OFFICERS THAT CERTAINLY GIVE THIS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AS IT SHOULD.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR MONTHLY REPORT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TOPICS.

THANK YOU, CHIEF, AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FRONT AND CENTER AND CERTAINLY TAKING A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY TO IT.

[01:10:05]

SO CAN WE GET THOSE SLIDES SO THAT WE CAN SHARE THEM TO HOPEFULLY LET OTHER PARENTS KNOW, SO THEY CAN USE THEM TO TALK TO THEIR KIDS? BECAUSE I THINK YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE, I'M JUST AFRAID THAT A LOT OF PARENTS AREN'T HAVING THIS CONVERSATION, YOU KNOW, NOT MY KID, UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.

SO I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT AND SHARE IT.

AND I'M SURE I SEE A LOT OF BOBBLEHEADS OUT THERE.

SO. ABSOLUTELY.

AND I FAILED TO MENTION, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DISTRICT.

THEY'RE WORKING ON SOME PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THIS WITHIN THE ISD SIDE, AND WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON OUR SIDE.

SO FROM BOTH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUR DEPARTMENT, WE INTEND ON PUSHING A LOT OF STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA OUT TO EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY ON THIS. CHIEF I NOTICED THAT COMPARED TO LAST YEAR THIS TIME, OUR INCREASE IN ARRESTS, JUVENILE ARRESTS HAVE GONE UP 73%. SO ARE THERE OTHER AREAS IN ADDITION TO THE THREATS THAT WE'RE SEEING WITH OUR JUVENILES? YEAH. SO THE JUVENILE ARRESTS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THE INCREASES WE'RE SEEING JUST IN OUR GENERAL OFFENSES.

SO WE ARE SEEING AN UPTICK IN THEFTS AND WE ARE SEEING AN UPTICK IN SIMPLE ASSAULT.

SO THESE ARE YOUR LESS SERIOUS ASSAULTS, BUT THOSE ARE THE TWO PRIMARY DRIVERS BEHIND THE INCREASE IN JUVENILE ARRESTS.

SOME OF THEM ARE DRUG RELATED, BUT THE PRIMARY TWO ARE THE SIMPLE ASSAULTS AND THEFTS.

THANK YOU, CHIEF. I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE THING FROM WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, FROM THE CHARGES THAT ARE COMING FORTH, BECAUSE, AGAIN, ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY, WE'RE ALL TAKING THIS EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY.

SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO GET TRIED AS ADULTS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO GET A FELONY AS AN ADULT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A LATE TEENAGER THAT WILL WRECK THEIR LIVES.

SO THIS HAS TO STOP.

AND I THINK ALL THE PARENTS IN HERE AGREE.

AND HOPEFULLY WE TAKE AN INITIATIVE AS A COMMUNITY TO TRY AND CONVINCE THE TEENAGERS IN OUR LIVES TO NOT PULL THESE KINDS OF PRANKS.

BECAUSE, OF COURSE, WE DON'T KNOW THEIR TRUE INTENTIONS.

SO THEY HAVE TO BE TREATED AS IF THEY WERE GOING TO CARRY IT OUT.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE. YES.

CHIEF TO END ON A POSITIVE NOTE, I DO WANT TO COMMENT ON YOUR WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT EVENT THAT YOU HAD A FEW WEEKS AGO.

IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE NUMBER OF WOMEN THAT WE HAVE IN OUR OWN LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY AT THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

YOU TYPICALLY THINK OF PATROL OFFICERS, BUT TO YOUR POINT, YOU'VE GOT CSI, YOU'VE GOT DISPATCH AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT I WAS PERSONALLY EDUCATED ON. SO AGAIN, KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR HAVING SUCH A DIVERSE ARRAY OF TALENT.

IT'S POWERFUL WOMEN THAT I THINK THAT HELPED MAKE US ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR SHOWCASING THOSE WOMEN AND THEN CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER WOMEN TO FIND OUT HOW THEY CAN BECOME A PART OF YOUR TEAM.

THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU TO YOU AND BOTH ASSISTANT CHIEF CLAY FOR BEING GOOD SPORTS IN THE DUNKING BOOTH.

SO I THINK MY FAVORITE WAS WATCHING K9 AMIGO DUNK YOU, THOUGH? OH, YES. I GOT DUNKED BY THE K-9.

THAT'S RIGHT. I ALSO WANT TO JUST ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, TOTALLY LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, TEXTING 911 DOES WORK IN FRISCO.

WE HAD A BURGLAR ALARM MALFUNCTION IN MY HOUSE AND MY WIFE AND I DID NOT HEAR IT, BUT OUR KIDS DID.

AND WE DIDN'T ANSWER OUR PHONES BECAUSE WE WERE WATCHING YELLOWSTONE.

THEY WERE CONVINCED THAT WE WERE DEAD AND THEY WENT IN THEIR CLOSETS AND STARTED TEXTING 911.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE VERY COURTEOUS PEOPLE ON THE OTHER END OF THAT.

MY RINGER IS ON AND ADT HAS BEEN CONTACTED, BUT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THAT FOR YEARS AND JUST TO SEE IT IN THE COMMUNICATION AND IT WAS JUST AN AMAZING FEAT OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WE CAN DO THAT.

SO JUST MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE YOU CAN.

I TOLD MY BOSS, HE GOES, YOU CAN TEXT 911.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

THAT'S THAT'S ONE WAY YOU CAN CONTACT US.

YOU CAN ALSO, WE HAVE TIP 411 AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A WAY THAT YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH OUR DISPATCHERS ANONYMOUSLY, WHETHER IT'S REPORTING A SCHOOL THREAT OR SOMETHING ELSE.

IT'S A WAY YOU CAN REPORT THINGS ANONYMOUSLY IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR IDENTITY SECRET.

THE FRISCO PD APP OFFERS YOU THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR DISPATCH, EITHER ANONYMOUSLY OR BY LEAVING YOUR INFORMATION, AND YOU CAN EVEN SEND PICTURES THROUGH THAT AS WELL. SO A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN COMMUNICATE AND REPORT THINGS.

THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 13, WHICH IS OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS UPDATES.

[31. Consider and act upon approval of the First Amendment to the Chapter 380 Agreement and Performance Agreement by and between the City of Frisco, TX and John Hickman, LLC. (EDC/JF)]

JASON FORD, PRESIDENT OF THE FRISCO EDC.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT.

I'VE GOT SOME SLIDES HERE.

ALL RIGHT, COOL. SO REALLY JUST WANTED TO KIND OF BRING YOU UP TO SPEED.

ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE HAD ASSOCIATED WITH THE GATE IS THE JOHN HICKMAN LLC.

WE HAVE A CONTRACT FOR THAT ONE THAT WE'RE SEEKING YOUR GUIDANCE IN ORDER TO POTENTIALLY GRANT THE PROJECT AN EXTENSION, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT HERE IN A MOMENT.

THE PROJECT, AS YOU KNOW, IS A 30,000 SQUARE FOOT MIXED USE PROJECT.

IT'S A RESTAURANT AND A RETAIL PROJECT, TWO STORIES HEAVILY ON INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT'S HEAVILY PARKED WITH 175 PARKING SPACES, INCLUDING THREE FOURTHS OF THOSE WHICH ARE UNDERGROUND.

SO THE TOTAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT JUST FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THIS PROJECT WAS ABOUT $7 MILLION.

THIS PROJECT IS A PART OF THE MIXED USE MASTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT THE GATE [INAUDIBLE] IGO.

AND THIS WAS A PART OF VERY LARGE, KIND OF A COMPLICATED AGREEMENT THAT COUNCIL APPROVED, I THINK LAST TIME WAS BACK IN 2020.

AND WHEN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY WAS SOLD FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT BY IGO OVER TO JOHN HICKMAN, LLC, ALL THESE INCENTIVES KIND OF WATERFALLED OVER TO THIS AGREEMENT HERE THAT WE'VE GOT TODAY.

UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF COVID AND THE IMPACT RELATED TO SUPPLY CHAINS AND CHANGES IN CONTRACTS AND DESIGN ISSUES, THE PROJECT'S BEEN DELAYED.

IT'S VERTICAL RIGHT NOW.

IT'S A SHELL STATUS.

BUT THEY ARE SEEKING AN EXTENSION IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO MEET THE PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE LAID OUT IN THE CONTRACT.

SO WE'VE GOT SOMETHING ELSE HERE.

REALLY THE COMPONENTS OF THIS AS AN EDC SALES AND USE TAX REBATE TO HELP PAY FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THERE'S ALSO A CDC SALES AND USE TAX SHARING AGREEMENT ALSO FOR 50% AS WELL AS THE CITY SALES AND USE TAX.

THE CITY'S PORTION IS 1.9% OF THE CAP OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE 50% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

SO AT THIS POINT, THE COMPANY HAS MET THEIR OBLIGATIONS IN ORDER TO GET THE PROJECT PERMITTED.

THEY'VE STARTED CONSTRUCTION.

AGAIN THEY'VE BEEN DELAYED.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO OPEN BY MAY OF 2022.

AND AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE FORECASTING THAT THEY WOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

WE'RE LOOKING AND JUST THINKING AHEAD ABOUT MAYBE GIVING THEM A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA CUSHION THAT IF COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PROPOSE TO AMEND THE AGREEMENT, WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM AN EXTENSION TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, WHICH WOULD BE AGAIN COMPLETING THE SHELL STRUCTURE FOR THE RESTAURANT AND THE JEWELRY STORE, GIVING THEM UNTIL MARCH OF 2023, THE END OF MARCH 30, 31.

I'M TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE HERE.

THESE ARE PERFORMANCE BASED INCENTIVES.

SO AGAIN, ALL THE INCENTIVES THAT WERE COMMITTED TO THIS ARE ALL PERFORMANCE BASED.

SO AS THE PROJECT PERFORMS OVER A 25 YEAR PERIOD, THE SALES AND USE TAXES ARE THEN REBATED BACK TO THE COMPANY EACH YEAR UNTIL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS REIMBURSED BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.

SO THE DEVELOPER TAKES THE RISK TO PUT ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN UPFRONT AND THEN YOU RECEIVE THE PAYMENT BACK EACH YEAR FOR UP TO 25 YEARS UNTIL OUR PORTION OF THE PROJECT IS REPAID. WE PLAN ON BRINGING THIS BACK TO THE EDC BOARD AS WELL.

CDC HAS ALREADY REVIEWED IT AND APPROVED IT.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TONIGHT.

AND JASON, THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT AS FAR AS DOING AN EXTENSION OF THEIR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AS A RESULT OF COVID IN SUPPLY CHAIN.

IT WAS PART OF AN INTENTIONAL STRATEGY DURING THAT PERIOD TO BE BUSINESS FRIENDLY AND KEEP PROJECTS ON TRACK.

THAT'S CORRECT. WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS AND AMENDMENTS FOR OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL, SO THAT'S GREAT.

AND SO WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? NOW LOOK FOR A MOTION.

I VOTE TO APPROVE ITEM 31.

A MOTION BY JOHN.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THE REVISED FISCAL YEAR 22 BUDGET AND THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET WERE REVIEWED AND DISCUSSED AT PUBLIC MEETINGS ON AUGUST 8TH, AUGUST 16TH AND SEPTEMBER 6TH.

THE PROPOSED GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS BASED ON A TAX RATE OF 0.4466 FOR 2023.

THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS JUST OVER $229 MILLION.

THE FISCAL YEAR 22 REVISED BUDGET IS JUST OVER $214 MILLION.

ALL THE FUND SUMMARIES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR YOUR REVIEW.

THE DRAFT BUDGET DOCUMENT IS ONLINE AND WE'LL HAVE THE FINAL VERSION UP IN NOVEMBER.

THIS IS A CONSIDER AND ACT, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS WERE HELD TO ALLOW FOR CITIZEN INPUT.

THE ORDINANCE AND THE SUMMARY IS PROVIDED FOR YOUR REVIEW.

QUESTIONS. OR IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 34.

MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND.

SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM 35, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AND RECORD THE VOTE TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE LEVYING THE TAX RATE FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO, TEXAS, FOR THE TAX YEAR 2022, FISCAL YEAR 2023.

AND IF I COULD JUST SHOW YOU A FEW SLIDES BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO THE TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE IS JUST OVER $42 BILLION.

WHEN YOU REMOVE THE TIRZ VALUES OF $2.5 BILLION AND ADJUST FOR THE VALUE OF PROPERTIES THAT WERE STILL UNDER REVIEW.

OUR NET TAXABLE VALUE FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 IS $38.9 BILLION.

OUR PROPOSED TAX RATE IS FLAT AT 0.4466, WITH A 0.00428 INCREASE IN THE DEBT RATE AND A DECREASE TO OUR M & O RATE. THIS SHIFT IS IN LINE WITH OUR FINANCIAL POLICY GOAL TO ALLOCATE A MINIMUM OF 65% OF THE TAX RATE TO THE GENERAL FUND.

THE PROPOSED M & O RATE OF 0.290928 IS AT 65.14%.

AND THAT DOES ACHIEVE OUR POLICY GOAL.

THIS CHART REPRESENTS OUR HISTORIC TAX RATE INFORMATION.

THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE, WHICH IS THE GREEN LINE, IS 0.399647.

THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, THE BLUE LINE IS 0.447544 AND THE ORANGE LINE IS OUR TAX.

THE AVERAGE TAXABLE HOME VALUE.

WITH THE OVER 65 EXEMPTION OF 80,000 AND THE 12 AND A HALF PERCENT GENERAL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IS $470,000 AT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE OF 0.4466.

THE CITY TAXES DUE ARE $2,100.

THIS CHARGES REPRESENTS THAT WE ARE BELOW THE AVERAGE FOR THE TAX RATE OF SOME OF OUR COMPARISON CITIES.

AS WELL AS OUR M & O RATE IS BELOW THE AVERAGE FOR THOSE COMPARISON CITIES.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND ACT TO ADOPT THE TAX RATE AND THE REQUIRED LANGUAGE FOR THE MOTIONS IS INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA MEMO.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

DO THE MOTIONS HAVE TO BE DONE SEPARATELY WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT, OR CAN THEY ALL BE READ BOTH OF THEM AT ONCE?

[01:25:04]

I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF 0.4466, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 11.75% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

AND JUST THAT, THE FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET WILL RAISE MORE REVENUE FROM PROPERTY TAXES THAN LAST YEAR.

THEREFORE, THIS RESOLUTION IS REQUIRED TO RATIFY THE INCREASED PROPERTY TAX REVENUE.

THERE'S NOT ANY SPECIFIC LANGUAGE, BUT THIS IS A CONSIDER AND ACT AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND SO WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 36.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 37.

[37. Consider and act upon an amendment to the Master Fee Ordinance setting new rates for water, sanitary sewer, reclaimed water, solid waste collection fees, and development services fees. (Budget/BP)]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS BRETT PETERSON.

I AM THE TREASURY MANAGER IN THE BUDGET AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

TONIGHT I WILL BE PRESENTING PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE CITY'S MASTER FEE ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO WATER, SEWER, SOLID WASTE AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEES.

PART OF MY COMMENTS WILL BE REFERENCING THE RECENT NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THAT WAS PASSED OUT TO YOU.

LIKE MANY WHO ARE OPERATING IN THIS MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, THE WATER DISTRICT IS FACING SIGNIFICANT PRESSURES IN COMMODITY PRICES, SUPPLY CHAINS, STAFFING AND VENDOR COSTS. IN ADDITION, CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND INTEREST RATES ARE INCREASING, THEREBY ADDING TO THE COST OF DEBT SERVICE EXPENSE AS MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED IN THE REGIONAL WATER SYSTEM.

AND EVENTUALLY STEWART CREEK AND PANTHER CREEK AND STEWART CREEK, NEW WATER DISTRICT FACILITIES WILL BE OPERATIONAL IN FY 23, WHICH INCLUDE BOIS D'ARC LAKE, A NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND A REGIONAL WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY.

AS A RESULT, THE WATER DISTRICT WILL BE INCREASING THEIR WHOLESALE GALLON WATER RATE BY 13.4% AND A 7% INCREASE IN THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM RATE.

THE NORTH TEXAS REGION HAS FACED ITS MOST SIGNIFICANT DROUGHT SINCE 2015, ALTHOUGH CONSERVATION EFFORTS BY MANY WATER DISTRICT MEMBER CITIES AND RECENT MILD WEATHER IN AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER HAVE HELPED.

SEVEN MEMBER CITIES EXCEEDED THEIR ANNUAL MINIMUMS DURING THIS PAST YEAR, WHICH ENDED JULY 31, THE END OF THE WATER YEAR.

FRISCO SET A NEW MINIMUM TAKE OR PAY OF APPROXIMATELY 14.146 BILLION GALLONS OF WATER INCREASE OF 16% OVER THE PRIOR WATER YEAR.

[01:30:04]

THE PROPOSED INCREASE TO SEWER IS 3%.

THE WATER SEWER INCREASES WILL REFLECT THE PASS THROUGH RATE INCREASE FROM THE WATER DISTRICT AND THE UPDATED CITY TRANSMISSION COST.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FUND ALSO HAS BUDGETED REVENUE INCREASES FOR RESIDENTIAL, A PROPOSED RATE INCREASE OF $4 PER RESIDENTIAL CARD PER MONTH IN VARIOUS PERCENTAGES FOR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS TO ALIGN WITH THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AVERAGE RATES.

THESE RATE ADJUSTMENTS WILL HELP ENSURE THE FUND'S FINANCIAL STABILITY AND THE CONTINUED OPERATING EXPENSE OF THE EXIDE PLANT CLOSURE.

THE BUDGET AND PLANNING TEAM WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES STAFF FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS AND ANALYSIS THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

THEIR TEAM TOOK A VERY PRAGMATIC AND HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE REGIONAL DATA TO HELP DEFINE THESE PROPOSED RATES.

AND FINALLY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF IS PROPOSING TO UPDATE THE ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FEES FOR CERTAIN PROJECT TYPES TO BETTER ALIGN WITH THE ACTUAL COST OF ASSOCIATED WITH PROCESSING SUCH PROJECTS.

THESE SPECIFIC ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FEES WERE LAST UPDATED IN 1999.

WE ASKED FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THESE ACTS.

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

COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? AS YOU REITERATED, A LOT OF THESE ARE PASS THROUGH COSTS THAT WE REVIEW EVERY SINGLE YEAR FROM THE DISTRICT.

AS A MEMBER CITY, THAT THEN GETS PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMER? THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL TAKE THIS TIME TO EMPHASIZE ALSO THAT IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO REDUCE YOUR SEWER RATE SOME, DON'T WATER DURING THE MONTHS OF, WHAT IS IT, DECEMBER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH.

CORRECT. BECAUSE WE BASE YOUR SEWER CHARGE ON THE AMOUNT OF WATER YOU USE DURING THOSE MONTHS, DROPPING ONE OF THE FOUR.

SO. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOTION BY BILL.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

MAYOR, IF I MAY, I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING, BUT I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT FRISCO'S REPUTATION FOR FISCAL HEALTH AND RESPONSIBILITY.

IT'S A LONG HISTORY OF THAT, AND THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO COUNCIL'S DISCIPLINE, TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS AND MAKE POLICIES, AND FOR STAFF'S COMMITMENT TO BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AND CONSERVATIVE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO SAY HOW GRATIFYING IT IS TO ME TO BE ABLE TO COME INTO A CITY IN THAT KIND OF A SITUATION.

BUT SPECIFICALLY, I WANT TO THANK THE TEAM FOR MANAGING THE TRANSITION, BECAUSE WHEN A CITY MANAGER, A LONG TIME CITY MANAGER WAS RETIRING, HENRY SERVED AS INTERIM AND CONTINUED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BUDGET STAYED ON TRACK AND DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO PRESENT WHAT YOU'VE VOTED ON TONIGHT.

AND THAT'S NOT JUST HENRY, BUT IT'S A REFLECTION ON THE EXCELLENT WORK OF AN AMAZING TEAM COMING TOGETHER AND DOING EVERYTHING THE RIGHT WAY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL, BUT ALSO THANK YOU TO STAFF FOR THE EXCELLENT WORK YOU'VE DONE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

38, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE VACATION, HOLIDAY, TIMEKEEPING AND LONGEVITY POLICIES.

[38. Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance revising the Vacation, Holiday, Timekeeping, and Longevity policies. (Human Resources/LS)]

THE VACATION POLICY IS BEING AMENDED TO COUNT VACATION AS HOURS WORKED, WHICH IS ALSO TIED INTO THE TIME KEEPING POLICY THAT CHANGES LANGUAGE TO ADDRESS THAT.

HOLIDAY POLICY IS AMENDED TO ADD TWO HOLIDAYS TO BRING THE CITY OF FRISCO IN LINE WITH MOST OF THE OTHER CITIES AROUND US, FROM 8 TO 10 HOLIDAYS, ADDING BOTH THE MLK HOLIDAY AND A SPRING HOLIDAY.

AND THEN LONGEVITY IS BEING INCREASED FROM $4 A MONTH TO $8 A MONTH.

IN ANOTHER EFFORT BY THE CITY OF FRISCO TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS BENEFITS AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND REWARD THE LONGEVITY OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

AND AGAIN, IN AN EFFORT TO ADDRESS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.

I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON THESE POLICY CHANGES.

THANK YOU, LAUREN. AND OF COURSE, VALUING OUR EMPLOYEES IS ONE OF OUR CORE MISSION STATEMENTS AND VALUES THAT WE PROMOTE HERE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND CERTAINLY IN THIS MARKETPLACE WHERE, AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU'RE COMPETING FOR TALENT AT ALL LEVELS.

YOU KNOW THAT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW EMPLOYEES HOW MUCH WE CARE ABOUT THEM.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? [INAUDIBLE] I JUST WANT TO ECHO WHAT MAYOR CHENEY JUST MENTIONED.

[01:35:04]

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT INVESTMENT.

AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO JUST SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOW ALIGNING WITH THE FEDERAL HOLIDAY DESIGNATIONS AND HONORING DR.

MARTIN LUTHER KING'S BIRTHDAY, WHICH I THINK IS ALSO A TESTAMENT TO THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVENESS OF OUR CITY.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. YES, THANK YOU.

LET'S ALL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 38.

MOTION BY ANGELIA.

SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THANK YOU. THAT MOVES TO ITEM 39 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023.

[39. Consider and act upon adoption of a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2023 City of Frisco General Fund Social Services Grant Allocations. (Budget/RB)]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

REBECCA BARDEN, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.

I'M HERE TODAY, THE SOCIAL SERVICE AND HOUSING BOARD HAS RECOMMENDED THE FUNDING THAT IS LISTED IN YOUR PACKET FOR LOCAL SERVICE AGENCIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2023.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? NO QUESTIONS, REBECCA.

BUT JUST AGAIN, TO COMMEND THE CITY FOR THE DESIGNATION OF, WHAT, $278,000 TOWARDS THESE SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUT THERE? HAVING SAT ON THE BOARD OF HOPE STORE NEW BEGINNINGS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, I KNOW THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE PUT TO GREAT USE AND I SEE THAT HOPE STORE IS ONE OF MANY THAT WE'RE MAKING THESE DONATIONS TOWARDS.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND HELPING TO FUND SOME OF THESE PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES.

THANK YOU, GUYS. YEAH.

HAVING SERVED ON THAT BOARD, I KNOW IT'S NO SMALL TASK TO TAKE ALL OF [INAUDIBLE] THAT ARE GIVEN FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND COME TO WHERE WE CAN PUT OUR MONEY TOWARDS IT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WONDERFUL ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE WILL BE GIVING FUNDING TO.

SO IF ANYBODY IS LOOKING AT WAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO VOLUNTEER, SOME OF THESE ARE SOME OF THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY HAVE.

AND I'LL JUST MENTION THAT THIS IS FUNDED THROUGH AN ALLOCATION OF $1.25 PER CAPITA HERE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO.

SO THESE ARE YOUR TAX DOLLARS THAT ARE GOING TO GREAT CAUSES.

YOU KNOW, WE SPEAK OFTEN AS CITY LEADERS, AS YOUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

WE WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO TAKE CARE OF EVERY SINGLE NEED OF EVERY RESIDENT IN OUR COMMUNITY, IN OUR REGION.

BUT GOVERNMENT CAN ONLY GO SO FAR.

AND SO WE HAVE TO RELY ON THE HARD WORK BY MANY OF OUR AGENCIES THAT SERVE THIS COMMUNITY.

THERE ARE PROBABLY 15 DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE GETTING FUNDING FROM THIS GRANT, AND I'M NOT GOING TO NAME THEM ALL.

BUT THERE ARE SOME THAT YOU'VE LIKELY HEARD OF, LIKE THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES, HOPE STORE, OR VETERAN'S CENTER OF NORTH TEXAS, AND MANY, MANY MORE.

SO THESE ARE YOUR TAX DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

WITH THAT, I WILL LOOK FOR MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 39.

MOTION BY ANGELIA.

SECOND. SECOND BY JOHN.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THAT MOVES TO ITEM 40.

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND THE FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO A SCHOOL RESOURCE

[40. Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Contract between the City of Frisco and the Frisco Independent School District Related to a School Resource Officer Program for school year 2022-2023. (Police/LT)]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS THE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE WITH FRISCO ISD THAT WAS RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD.

IT'S A PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THEM TO FUND OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM.

AND THIS YEAR WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, WHICH IS WHY WE DO AN AGREEMENT EVERY YEAR TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ADDITIONAL POSITIONS. CHEIF WE MENTIONED EARLIER IN THIS MEETING THAT PUBLIC SAFETY IS A VERY MUCH LED BY TAKING A PROACTIVE MEASURE, INVESTING IN THE RESOURCES THAT YOU NEED.

AND THAT'S PART OF A BIG PART OF WHY WE WERE NAMED THE SAFEST COMMUNITY IN THE COUNTRY.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM.

I KNOW COUNCIL AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT VALUES THIS PROGRAM GREATLY AND IS A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT.

AND I JUST WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK YOUR TEAM, OUR SRO OFFICERS, THEY LOVE THEIR JOBS.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE IT ON THEIR FACE.

YOU HEAR FROM THEM.

AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR PARTNERS AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR BEING GREAT PARTNERS WITH THIS PROGRAM.

THANK YOU MAYOR. COUNCIL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? JUST JUST ONE QUESTION IN LIGHT OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER WITH JUST THE JUVENILE ARRESTS GOING UP 73%.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING BUILT INTO THIS CLAUSE, WHEREAS IF WE NEED IT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SROS, WE COULD DO IT MID CONTRACT OR ANY THOUGHTS ON JUST ENSURING THAT WE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SROS IN LINE WITH THE INCREASE OF JUVENILE ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE CITY?

[01:40:05]

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT.

I WILL SAY THIS, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE'RE DOING SRO ROVERS THAT ARE FOCUSED SOLELY ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

AND SO THERE'S BEEN AN INCREASED SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE PRESENCE ON OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WERE A LOT OF PARENTS THAT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL EVALUATE, SINCE THAT'S A NEW COMPONENT OF THIS PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

WE'LL EVALUATE THE NUMBER OF VISITS THEY'RE ABLE TO MAKE TO THEIR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES A WEEK.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SROS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FEEDER ELEMENTARIES AS WELL.

SO THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT ROLE AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE.

AND THEN PATROL WILL ALSO HAVE A MORE REGULAR PRESENCE.

WE'RE MONITORING THAT AS WELL ON THE ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES TO AND SO, INTERESTING BENEFIT I'VE HEARD FROM A COUPLE OF PATROL OFFICERS AS THEY VISIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. IT KIND OF BRIGHTENS THEIR DAY.

I MEAN, IT'S, THEY'RE LIKE ROCK STARS WHEN THEY WALK ON THE CAMPUS.

AND WE DON'T ALWAYS GET GREETED LIKE THAT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SO. SO IT IS A NICE BENEFIT.

AND SO I HOPE THAT CONTINUES.

THANK YOU. JOHN.

MOTION TO APPROVE. JOHN. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

THE NEXT SECTION WILL BE OUR BOARD APPOINTMENTS, WHICH WILL GO FAST AND FURIOUS.

BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK WE DIDN'T PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO IT.

SO COUNCIL MET EARLIER TODAY.

WE SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF TALKING THROUGH EACH OF THESE POSITIONS AND MAKING SURE WE GET THE RIGHT CITIZEN IN THE RIGHT POSITION TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, I WILL SAY THAT WE'RE BLESSED HERE IN FRISCO THAT WHEN WE DO THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR, OFTENTIMES WE HAVE OVER 100 APPLICATIONS.

AND EACH TIME THERE MAY BE ONLY A HANDFUL OF POSITIONS THAT DON'T HAVE SOMEONE RETURNING.

SO I KNOW A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE TO BEG PEOPLE TO APPLY FOR OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

AND WE'RE CERTAINLY BLESSED HERE TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO RAISE THEIR HAND AND SERVE.
