OH, MY GOODNESS. AS I WAS ALL LOOKING IN I WAS WATCHING THE BACK OF A YOUNG MAN'S HAT BACK THERE, AND IT HAD 1914 ON IT.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHEN THE ORGANIZATION STARTED FOR ALL THE FRATERNITIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND BUT THAT'S ALSO WHEN THE HAMILTON CHAPEL BAPTIST CHURCH WAS STARTED AS WELL IN 1914.

IT HAPPENED TO BE THE OLDEST AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH IN FRISCO.

AND JUST SEEING THE AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT, I'M LIKE, WOW, YOU KNOW, IT SAYS HOW FAR FRISCO HAS COME IN SINCE 1914 TO 2023.

IT'S JUST AMAZING.

[00:10:38]

ANNA. HI THERE.

HI. HOW ARE YOU? [INAUDIBLE].

CAN YOU HANG ON FOR JUST ONE SECOND? OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. NO, YOU. PERFECT.

THAT WAS ALL MY FAULT IN THE EXECUTION OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.

THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME.

THIS IS A REALLY SPECIAL PRESENTATION.

THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY GET TO HONOR SOMEONE WITH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

AND THIS IS FROM THE CAREER ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATED TO ANNA SOLIS HAS SATISFACTORILY MET THE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW AND STANDARDS FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AS PRESCRIBED BY THIS HIGH SCHOOL, AND IS HEREBY AWARDED THIS HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA ON THE SIXTH DAY OF JUNE, DECEMBER 2022.

LET'S GIVE HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

SO THERE'S A STORY, AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, AS TO WHY.

NO. YOU SAY, OH, YOU'RE NOT DONE YET, ANNA.

HANG IN THERE. SO I'M GOING TO READ A PROCLAMATION WHICH SHARES A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A STORY WHICH READS, WHEREAS THE FRISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY PROVIDES ACCESS TO CAREER ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL AND ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA PROGRAM FOR ADULTS.

AND. WHEREAS, THE PURPOSE OF THE CAREER ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL IS TO OFFER ADULTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA AND CAREER CERTIFICATE, EXPAND THEIR CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION.

AND. WHEREAS, THE NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES IN FRISCO IS HIGH, THOSE WITHOUT A DIPLOMA ARE A MUCH GREATER DISADVANTAGE FOR EMPLOYMENT AND WORKFORCE ADVANCEMENT.

AND. WHEREAS, THE DEMAND IS ENOUGH THAT ADDITIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS WERE NEEDED AND GENEROUSLY FUNDED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE FRISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY.

WHEREAS, ANNA SOLIS WANTED TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR HER FAMILY, A BETTER PROVIDER, AND INSPIRE AND ENCOURAGE OTHER ADULTS, SHE APPLIED FOR AND WAS AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP PROVIDED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY IN JUNE 2022.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, COMMEND ANNA SOLIS FOR HER RECENT GRADUATION FROM CAREER ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL AND THANK THE FRIENDS OF THE FRISCO LIBRARY FOR THEIR GENEROUS PROVISION OF THESE SCHOLARSHIPS TO QUALIFIED FRISCO RESIDENTS.

CONGRATULATIONS AND JOB WELL DONE.

AND YOU ALSO GET YOUR OFFICIAL FRISCO PIN HERE THAT YOU CAN WEAR AND BE PROUD, BUT YOU'RE PREPARED FOR YOUR GRADUATION SPEECH RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? OK WELL, LET'S DO IT.

FIRST, MOST I DO WANT TO THANK GOD FOR THIS HUGE OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME.

I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR ALSO THIS HUGE OPPORTUNITY, AS WELL AS MY FAMILY, MY HUSBAND, MY KIDS, AS WELL AS SHERRY, THOMAS, JOHN, FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY DID FOR ME.

TROOP 2060.

FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE PLEDGE.

BOTH OF THEM. BUT I WAS INVITED UP HERE TODAY, ONE FOR THE CADETS, TO PRESENT AND POST THE COLORS FOR TODAY.

HOPEFULLY IT'S A RELATIONSHIP FAR INTO THE FUTURE, BUT I WANTED TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT.

DON'T MISS A PR OPPORTUNITY.

WE'RE A NEW PROGRAM FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T GOT THE MEMO, BRAND NEW PROGRAM IN OUR SECOND YEAR.

FIRST YEAR LAST YEAR LEARNED HOW TO MARCH.

AND SO NOW WE CAN COME OUT AND LOOK THE PART, PUT THE UNIFORM ON CORRECTLY.

SO WE DO REPRESENT ALL 12 HIGH SCHOOLS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE JUST TWO TODAY, BUT ALL 12 HIGH SCHOOLS ARE ABLE TO COME TO LEBANON TRAIL FOR NAVY JUNIOR ROTC.

SO A LOT OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION.

THESE CADETS HERE HAVE DONE DOZENS OF FOOTBALL GAMES, INCLUDING THE DALLAS COWBOYS, WHERE I FIRST MET MAYOR CHENEY SEVEN, EIGHT MONTHS AGO, A COUPLE OF FOOTBALL SEASONS AGO AND JUST THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THE WARM WELCOME REALLY, FOR THE COMMUNITY, AMERICAN LEGION FOR WELCOMING US AND INVITING YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

WE'VE HAD A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF WITH THEM AND REALLY THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

SO I LOOK FORWARD TO A LONG FUTURE AS WELL.

AND I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO COUNCILMEMBER KEATING, WHO IS PART OF OUR FRISCO VETERANS ADVISORY COUNCIL.

THEY WERE THE ONES THAT WERE MEETING WITH FRISCO ISD TO BRING ROTC PROGRAMS INTO OUR SCHOOLS.

AND SO FINE WORK.

YES. AND SO IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS.

[INAUDIBLE] SO THAT'S A GREAT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE HAD A MISSION TO VALUE OUR VETERANS HERE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, AND THAT STARTED WITH OUR YOUTH AND THEY JUMPED ON BOARD RIGHT AWAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT, TAKE A QUICK PICTURE PHOTOS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO JUMP AHEAD REAL QUICK, WHICH IS ITEM 12.

COUNCIL COMMENT OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCLAMATIONS ISSUED BY THE MAYOR.

THIS IS ANOTHER PROCLAMATION WE HAVE WHICH WE'RE CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

AND I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A FEW PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME JOIN ME FOR THIS ONE.

SO COME ON UP.

[INAUDIBLE] .

ALL RIGHT. THE PROCLAMATION READS.

WHEREAS BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS AN ANNUAL OBSERVANCE TO CELEBRATE AFRICAN AMERICANS DIASPORA, TO HONOR THE RICH HERITAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR MANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR NATION.

AND. WHEREAS, IN 1926, CARTER G.

WILSON, A HARVARD EDUCATED HISTORIAN, CO FOUNDED THE GROUP ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LIFE AND LIBERTY AND HISTORY.

THEY CHOSE THE SECOND WEEK IN FEBRUARY TO HONOR THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS BECAUSE IT COINCIDED WITH THE BIRTHDAYS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND FREDERICK DOUGLASS, TWO MEN WHO PLAYED A PROMINENT ROLE IN ELIMINATING SLAVERY.

AND. WHEREAS, MAYORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ANNOUNCED PROCLAMATIONS YEARLY AND HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES CELEBRATED THE ENTIRE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.

IN 1976, PRESIDENT FORD OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED FEBRUARY AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND A COMMEMORATIVE SPEECH ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE TWO OFTEN NEGLECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF BLACK AMERICANS IN EVERY ENDEAVOR THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY.

AND. WHEREAS, FOR GENERATIONS, AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE STRENGTHENED OUR NATION BY URGING REFORMS, OVERCOMING OBSTACLES, AND BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS.

[00:20:07]

NOW, THEREFORE, I JEFF CHENEY MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2023 AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

OK TO MOVE US INTO OUR REPORT.

SECTION ITEM FIVE IS OUR VISIT.

FRISCO REPORT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THERE ARE A LOT OF EVENTS HAPPENING IN THE NEXT 4 TO 6 WEEKS, PROBABLY TOO MANY TO MENTION, BUT JUST A FEW THAT POP UP IS THE CONFERENCE USA CHAMPIONSHIP, FRISCO COLLEGE BASEBALL CLASSIC.

THERE'S A SEARCH SHOW AT THE MALL.

I MEAN, TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL'S COMING OUT.

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT. SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE OUR RESIDENTS TO FOLLOW OUR WEBSITE AND FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THOSE.

AND JUST REALLY ONE QUICK POINT ON MY REPORT TONIGHT IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CONVENTION BUSINESS IS THRIVING.

WE'RE AT WE'RE 50% OVER WHERE WE WERE A YEAR TO DATE LAST YEAR.

SO WE'RE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF BOOKINGS AND DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF PROSPECTIVE LEADS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH.

AND IT'S NOT SEEMING TO STOP.

SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON MY REPORT.

COUNCIL. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOVE US INTO OUR FINANCIAL SERVICES BUDGET STATUS REPORT.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, ANITA KATHERINE, CFO FOR THE CITY.

YOU HAVE OUR JANUARY FINANCIAL REPORT.

EVERYTHING IS BASICALLY TRACKING AS PROJECTED.

[00:30:01]

I THINK YOU JUST HEARD MALA TALKING ABOUT THE.

HER ACTIVITY AND HER FUNDS.

SO I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JANUARY FINANCIALS, THE WORDS WE LIKE TO HEAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED COUNCIL.

WHAT BUDGET QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? WE'LL HAVE SOME COMMENTS ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, OK.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND JUMP INTO CITIZEN INPUT.

I THINK WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CARDS.

DO WE HAVE A FEW CARDS TONIGHT FOR CITIZENS INPUT? CRAIG WAX.

GOOD EVENING. I WANTED TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT UNIVERSAL.

SO THANK YOU, FIRST OF ALL, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY POINT OF VIEW.

I SUPPORT THE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS THEME PARK PROJECT FOR SEVERAL REASONS, INCLUDING THESE THREE.

FIRST, IT'LL EXPAND THE DIVERSITY OF FRISCO'S ECONOMIC BASE, WHICH WILL FURTHER INSULATE US AGAINST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

SECOND, IT'LL INCREASE THE DIVERSITY I'M SORRY, IT'LL INCREASE TOURISM, WHICH GENERATES ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE, AND IT'S POSITIVE FOR FRISCO BASED BUSINESSES. AND THIRD, IT WILL PROVIDE FRISCO FAMILIES WITH A FUN NEARBY ENTERTAINMENT OPTION, ELIMINATING THE NEED TO TRAVEL FOR A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ELSEWHERE.

ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT HAS POTENTIAL RISKS.

HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE LAND BRING MANY OF THE SAME RISKS.

WHILE NOT NEARLY DELIVERING THE UPSIDE THAT COMES WITH THE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS PARK.

AND THAT'S WHY I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO SHARE A THOUGHT ABOUT TRAFFIC SINCE IT'S A CONCERN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE.

FRISCO WILL SOON BE ONE OF OUR COUNTRY'S 100 MOST POPULOUS CITIES, AND WE ARE VERY NEAR SIX CITIES WITH EVEN MORE PEOPLE.

WE WILL HAVE TRAFFIC CHALLENGES REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS BUILT ON THAT LAND.

I ENCOURAGE OUR CITY TO CONTINUE INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF POPULATION GROWTH ON THE TRAFFIC.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MAUREEN ANDERSON.

OKAY. HI.

I AM ALSO TALKING ABOUT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS.

SO ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO, DURING MAYOR CHENEY'S FIRST CAMPAIGN FOR MAYORAL ELECTION, HE HAD ASKED ME A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL WHAT WOULD BRING ME BACK TO FRISCO AFTER GRADUATION. I REPLIED IMMEDIATELY, ENTERTAINMENT THEATER.

I FIRST WAS BIG ON SPORTS AND I WAS AN ARTS KID, AND I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT HE TOOK MY ANSWER AND TOOK GREAT CONSIDERATION, CONSIDERING UNIVERSAL IS NOW COMING.

I THEN WENT OFF TO COLLEGE FOR THEATER, AND NOW AFTER GRADUATION, I HAVE MY SIGHTS SET ON THEME PARK ENTERTAINMENT.

LUCKY ME THAT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE BUILDING A NEW ONE OF A KIND PARK HERE.

IN 2018 2019.

I WORKED IN ORLANDO FOR SIX MONTHS WITH A CERTAIN COLLEGE PROGRAM AND LOVED IT THERE.

I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO GO TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ALL THE TIME.

I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF WORRY EVER SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE COMING, AND MOSTLY ABOUT NOISE AND TRAFFIC.

WHEN YOU GO TO A THEME PARK MULTIPLE TIMES AND WORK IN ANOTHER FOR SIX MONTHS, YOU TEND TO NOTICE THINGS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU PLAN TO WORK FOR SAID THEME PARK.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS IS SMART.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY BUILD A THEME PARK.

I, FOR ONE, WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM THRILLED.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS THEME PARKS ARE A MASTER AND EXPERIENCE.

WHEN YOU GO FROM ONE SECTION TO THE OTHER, THEMING CHANGES INCLUDING SOUND.

YOU CAN'T HEAR THE SOUNDS OF THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER WHEN YOU GO INTO THE INTO THE SECTION NEXT TO IT.

THEY USE FOLIAGE TO ABSORB SOUND TO KEEP IT FROM TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF THE PARK.

WHEN IT COMES TO TRAFFIC, THEY KNOW TO KEEP IT CONTAINED ON THEIR PROPERTY WHEN YOU LEAVE THE PARK.

THEY ARE STRATEGIC STRATEGICAL WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC TO KEEP IT MINIMAL.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS COMING TO FRISCO IS A GIFT.

IT BRINGS JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO THOSE NOT JUST IN THE ARTS LIKE ME, BUT THOSE IN BUSINESS AND ENGINEERING AND HOSPITALITY AND SO MANY OTHER CAREERS.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT STORY.

I DO REMEMBER HAVING THAT CONVERSATION AND GLAD TO HEAR YOU MADE IT BACK TO FRISCO.

JOSHUA MURRY.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

TO PROVIDE CLARITY.

JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, I DON'T LIVE IN ACTUALLY THE CITY OF FRISCO.

I'M ACTUALLY FROM THE LARGE CITY OF LAVON.

IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR EAST OF HERE FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW.

BUT I CAME TO SPEAK TO Y'ALL ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I THINK THAT WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON, AND THAT'S THE ANIMAL SHELTER THAT WE HAVE IN COLLIN COUNTY.

AND CAPACITY PROBLEM THAT THE COUNTY HAS WITHIN THE ANIMAL SHELTER THAT NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE CITY OF FRISCO, BUT IT ALSO AFFECTS THE CITY OF

[00:35:09]

AND IT REALLY AFFECTS PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN CITIES LIKE MYSELF.

I LIVE IN LAVON, SMALLER CITY, YOU KNOW, WE GOT COWS AND STUFF LIKE THAT OUT IN RURAL AREAS.

AND SO WHENEVER I MOVED OUT THERE FOUR YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A COW AND IT ENDED UP GETTING HIT.

AND WE CALLED AND THEY COULDN'T COME OUT AND NOT SAYING THAT HAVING ADDITIONAL CAPACITY WOULD CORRECT THAT.

BUT WHAT THAT CAN DO IS IT CAN ALLOW FOR BETTER RECRUITMENT, BETTER RETENTION OF EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE BY HAVING BETTER CAPACITY, YOU HAVE BETTER FACILITIES.

AND OF COURSE, FRISCO UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT FACILITIES ARE WHEN IT COMES TO MORALE FOR EMPLOYEES.

AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY, WE NEED A LARGER ANIMAL SHELTER.

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, FRISCO IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE LARGEST CUSTOMERS OF THE COUNTY'S ANIMAL SHELTER.

THE CITY OF FRISCO PAYS NEARLY I THINK IT'S AROUND 400,000 ANNUALLY TO COLLIN COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER.

I WAS SO EXCITED WHENEVER I SAW Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, COME ACROSS A BOND COMMITTEE AND YOU'LL ACTUALLY PUT IT UP.

AND I SAID, MAN, IF A BOND COMMITTEE IS GOING TO VOTE ON SOMETHING, THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR THE FACTS AND THEY'RE GOING TO SEE IT'S NEEDED AND THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE TO APPROVE IT.

AND THEN WHENEVER I HEARD IT WAS ONLY $5 MILLION, LIKE FRISCO IS DEFINITELY GOING TO APPROVE THIS.

AND THEN WHENEVER IT CAME TO BEING THE DAY AND I HEARD THAT THERE WAS SOME COMMOTION THAT IT MIGHT NOT GET APPROVED, EVEN THOUGH THE BOND COMMITTEE HAD SAID THAT IT SHOULD. I WAS LIKE, SURELY THIS ISN'T THE CASE BECAUSE FRISCO UNDERSTANDS AS SOMEBODY THAT'S BORROWED 216 OR CORRECTION SINCE 2016, BORROWED NEARLY $600 MILLION TO INVEST IN GROWTH, THEY UNDERSTAND YOU MUST HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THAT GROWTH.

AND BY Y'ALL NOT DOING YOUR PART TO OFFSET THAT BY INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE, THEN US OUT AND LAVON, OUR SERVICES START TO DWINDLE BECAUSE WE RELY ON THE COUNTY MORE THAN YOU ALL DO.

AND SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AND THAT Y'ALL HAVE DECIDED THAT MORE POLICIES ARE NEEDED AND OTHER ADDITIONAL THINGS ARE NEEDED.

BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT ANYTHING THAT'S IMPROVED WHEN IT COMES TO M AND O, YOU IMPROVE, YOU APPROVE.

AND SO IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME WHY YOU WOULD NOT APPROVE $5 MILLION TO GO TOWARDS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE SPENT AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN APPROVING IT.

YOU'RE PUTTING IT TO THE VOTERS TO APPROVE.

AND YOU'VE HEARD A BOND COMMITTEE ALREADY TELL YOU TO APPROVE IT.

THE NUMBERS SAY THAT WE NEED IT, AND IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY FRISCO WOULD NOT DO THEIR PART FOR THE COUNTY TO SUPPORT CAPACITY.

BUT YOU'VE MADE THAT DECISION.

AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE, WHAT I COME BEFORE YOU TO ASK IS THAT YOU, AS A CUSTOMER OF THE COUNTIES, YOU HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BONDS.

THEY BRING IT UP NOW BECAUSE THEY NEED TO FUND THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY'VE NEGLECTED AND THEY'VE ALL SAID ON TO YOU.

AND SO WHAT I'M ASKING YOU AS A CUSTOMER TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, TO TELL THEM I AM PAYING YOU MONEY, I FUND 30% OF YOUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET FOR THAT ANIMAL SHELTER, AND YOU WILL SPEND MY MONEY THE WAY THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SPENT, OR I WILL NOT GIVE IT TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE DECIDED NOT TO OFFLOAD THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE COUNTY AS A CUSTOMER.

BE A GOOD STEWARD OF YOUR CITY'S TAXPAYER DOLLARS, HOLD YOUR VENDORS ACCOUNTABLE, WHICH IS THE COUNTY, AND HAVE THEM INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE SO WE DON'T HAVE DOG CRATES THAT ARE STACKED TOO HIGH SO THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE FACILITIES THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH THAT IS COMING THIS SUPPORT THE GROWTH THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO GROW WHEN WE CAN'T SUPPORT WHAT WE HAVE NOW? I'M ASKING FRISCO TO HOLD THE COUNTY ACCOUNTABLE, TO TELL THEM TO SPEND YOUR MONEY THE WAY THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE SPENT IF YOU WERE SPENDING IT.

PLEASE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, DONNA SCHMIDTLER .

AND IF YOU CAN ENSURE THAT YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL DONNA SCHMIDTLER.

7037 WHITE ROCK COURT, FRISCO, TEXAS.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.

AND TONIGHT, I'M HERE TO SPEAK AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRIENDS OF THE FRISCO LIBRARY.

[00:40:05]

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? SARAH ROUSE, 6813 CONCORD DRIVE.

AN EMAIL DATED SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 AT 11:24 A.M.

TO JEFF CHENEY SUBJECT B AND B DINNER.

JEFF CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR CARVING OUT SOME TIME FOR US LAST NIGHT AND SHARING THE HISTORY AND VISION OF THIS SPECTACULAR PROJECT.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR PUTTING THIS AUDACIOUS PROJECT TOGETHER.

AS A SMALL TOKEN OF MY APPRECIATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DONATION TO A CHARITY THAT IS CONNECTED TO THIS PROJECT.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU'D SUGGEST.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET ON THE UNOFFICIAL LOT LIST.

LET ME KNOW HOW THAT'S INVOLVED.

I APOLOGIZE. LET ME KNOW WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THAT.

THANK YOU AGAIN. MAYBE WE CAN HOST ANOTHER EVENT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE NEXT PHASE BEING COMPLETED.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR PARTICIPATING.

MY GUESTS REALLY ENJOYED IT BASED UPON THE EARLY FEEDBACK.

SINCERELY, JOHN BAUMGARTEN.

ON 1013 OF 22, THE CHENEY GROUP ANNOUNCED THAT THEY'D BEEN WORKING ON A SPECIAL PROJECT FOR LAST YEAR WHERE THEIR TEAM WERE EXCITED THAT THE FIELD EXPERTS AND THE PRESERVE AT PGA WAS ABOUT TO TEE OFF.

MERRIAM WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY.

QUID PRO QUO.

SOMETHING GIVEN OR RECEIVED FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

JUST TO CLARIFY, THE FIELDS PROJECT WAS ANNOUNCED MANY YEARS AGO.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE I'D LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? OKAY, TAKE US BACK TO OUR REPORT.

SECTION SEVEN IS THE HUMAN RESOURCES QUARTERLY REPORT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL LAWRENCE AFRINIC, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES.

BEFORE YOU IS THE THIRD QUARTER REPORT OF I'M SORRY, THE FOURTH QUARTER REPORT FOR 2022.

I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO THANK MAYOR CHENEY AND ANGELIA PELHAM AND TAMMY MEINERSHAGEN FOR ATTENDING OUR EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM ON FEBRUARY THE NINTH.

WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THE EVENT THAT RECOGNIZED THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT HAD RECEIVED RECOGNITION AWARDS IN 2022 FOR THEIR EXEMPLARY.

SHOW OF OUR CORE VALUES.

DURING THE CELEBRATION, WE RECOGNIZE THOSE THAT WERE SELECTED AS EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR FOR 2022, INCLUDING BRIAN HARDY OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BRANT HEDGECOCK OF THE LIBRARY, BRANDON SMITH OF PUBLIC WORKS.

JORDAN REESE OF PUBLIC WORKS.

FRANKIE LEDESMA OF PUBLIC WORKS.

HECTOR ROJO OF PUBLIC WORKS SORRY ONCE PELION PONTES PARKS AND CASSANDRA GUZMAN OF PUBLIC WORKS.

ALSO IN THE REPORT IS INFORMATION REGARDING OUR TURNOVER FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FOR THE YEAR WE HAD BOTH 3% AND 11% TURNOVER RESPECTIVELY FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER, AND WE ALSO FILLED 98 POSITIONS.

AND THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL STATISTICS ABOUT THOSE POSITIONS THAT WE FILLED.

AND THEN WE ALSO INCLUDED SOME INFORMATION ON THE WELLNESS PROGRAM.

WE HAVE SLOWLY MOVED OVER THE POLICE AND FIRE PHYSICALS.

WE STARTED THE FIREFIGHTER PHYSICALS IN DECEMBER AND THE POLICE OFFICER PHYSICALS IN JANUARY.

AT OVER 23% OF OUR EMPLOYEES HAVE VISITED THE CLINIC AT LEAST ONE TIME BECAUSE OF THE SLOW PROGRESSION OF THE POLICE AND FIRE PHYSICALS.

WE HAVEN'T QUITE HAD THE MOVEMENT IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF PERSONAL HEALTH THAT WE'D HOPED THAT WE MIGHT SEE AT THIS TIME.

[00:45:02]

THAT'S NOT COUNTING THE OTHER SERVICES THAT THE CLINIC IS OFFERING WITH CONSULTATION, VIRTUAL VISITS THAT IS ALSO BEING PROVIDED.

BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE DIVERSION OF THE CLAIMS FROM THE COMMUNITY INTO THE WELLNESS CENTER.

SO THOSE ARE JUST A FEW HIGHLIGHTS, BUT I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THE REPORT.

OKAY. THAT'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

I LIKE THE DASHBOARD. I LIKE THE PRESENTATION.

I DID TAKE NOTE OF HOW YOU LAID OUT THE INFORMATION.

IT'S REALLY CLEAR.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

I AM CURIOUS JUST TO KIND OF HEAR.

SO I GUESS I DO HAVE A QUESTION I AM CURIOUS TO HEAR.

OUTSIDE OF THE POLICE AND FIRE PHYSICALS, ARE WE TRACKING TO THE PROJECTIONS THAT WE ANTICIPATED WITH LOCKTON RELATIVE TO THE ACTIVITY AT THE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS CENTER? AND ARE THERE OTHER REASONS OUTSIDE OF JUST THE PHYSICALS THAT THAT ARE CAUSING US NOT TO BE WHERE WE NEED TO BE? THE STATISTICS THAT WERE PROVIDED WHEN WE WOULD DISCUSS THE CLINIC WHEN WE WERE MAKING THAT DECISION WAS BASED ON VERBAL CLAIMS AND NOT AS MUCH ON THE VISITS BECAUSE IT IS THE COST OF THE CLAIMS AND SERVICES PROVIDED IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL SAVE THIS CITY MONEY ON ITS INSURANCE FUND.

SO TO THAT POINT, WE ARE STILL WE ARE SLOWER THAN ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME OF MOVING SOME OF THOSE CONVERTIBLE CLAIMS AND ARE STILL GATHERING ENOUGH DATA TO REALLY SPEAK TO IT WITH DELAYS IN HOW CLAIMS ARE PROCESSED.

WE PROBABLY REALLY ONLY HAVE ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OF CLAIMS DATA, WHICH IS JUST REALLY NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A STATISTICAL PREDICTION ABOUT HOW WELL WE'RE MEETING.

AT THIS TIME, I'M HOPING THAT BY THE SUMMER WORK SESSION, IF NOT SOONER, THAT WE WOULD HAVE CLOSE TO NINE MONTHS TO A YEAR OF CLAIMS THAT WE COULD PROVIDE A BETTER STORY AND SEE WHERE WE ARE MORE ACCURATELY COMPARED TO THE STATISTICS THAT WERE PROVIDED IN ANTICIPATION OF WHAT THE WELLNESS CENTER COULD PROVIDE TO US.

I DO THINK, THOUGH, THAT THE DELAY IN MOVING THE POLICE AND FIRE PHYSICALS OVER INTO THE CLINIC HAS KIND OF DELAYED IN HOW MANY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS, BECAUSE THAT IS ALMOST 500 EMPLOYEES, THAT FOR POLICE AND FIRE, THAT HAVE WELLNESS PHYSICALS THERE, THAT THEN BEGIN TO GO THERE FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL HEALTH.

WE KNOW FROM HISTORY, FROM OUR PREVIOUS CLINIC THAT WE USED, THAT WE HAD ABOUT 80% OF THOSE POLICE AND FIRE INDIVIDUALS THAT THEN ALSO USED THAT SAME FACILITY FOR THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH. SO BY GETTING THEM IN THERE AND GETTING THEM INTRODUCED TO THE STAFF AND THE PROCESSES, THAT'S WHEN WE'LL BEGIN TO HAVE THAT NATURAL PROGRESSION.

SINCE WE'VE ONLY BEEN DOING THAT FOR TWO MONTHS NOW, IT'S JUST SLOWED DOWN THAT PROCESS OF PEOPLE GOING THERE FOR THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH.

ON THE. I WILL SAY, THOUGH, THAT WE'VE HAD, AS THE STATS WILL SHOW, A LOT OF OUR OTHER EMPLOYEES GO THERE FREQUENTLY AND WE ARE RECEIVING REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK ON THE SERVICES THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN HOW MANY VISITS WE GET.

AND WE CERTAINLY WANT EMPLOYEES TO GO THERE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BENEFITS, BUT ALSO THE COST SAVINGS.

AND IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE WHAT IF FIVE PEOPLE GO IN FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS MAYBE A 50 TO $100 WORTH OF COST, AND SOMEBODY GOES IN THERE FOR SOMETHING THAT LITERALLY SAVES THEIR LIFE.

AND THAT YOU COULDN'T PUT A NUMBER ON.

BUT IT SAVED A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE WE GOT AHEAD OF IT.

WE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM EARLY THAT WOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.

AND I THINK WHATEVER THE CONDITION IS, IF WE CAN GET AHEAD OF IT AND PROVIDE EDUCATION ON PREVENTION AND BETTER HEALTH CARE AND HABITS AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT GO WITH IT, WHICH I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, BUT NOW WE HAVE A VENUE WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATE THAT AND PROVIDE THAT SERVICE.

I'M JUST APPLAUD THE EFFORT AND THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO IT.

AND THIS IS BEYOND HOW MANY TIMES THE DOOR OPEN AND CLOSES.

IT'S THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT THAN THAT.

IT IS A LOT ABOUT THE MONEY THAT WE'RE SAVING OUR HARDWORKING FRISCO TAXPAYERS AND HOW WE CAN THEN PUT THAT MONEY BACK INTO OUR BENEFITS PROGRAM AND CONTINUE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN SOME OF THE FINEST EMPLOYEES, NOT ONLY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT IN THIS GREAT STATE OF AMERICA.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT SUPPORT AND THOSE WORDS.

I WOULD AGREE. I WILL SAY THAT I'VE RECEIVED MANY COMMENTS FROM EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE SAID THAT THE CONVENIENCE OF HAVING IT AND THEIR ABILITY TO GET IN SO EASILY HAD HAS ALLOWED THEM TO GO SEE A DOCTOR WHEN THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE IN THE PAST.

AND I'VE HAD MORE THAN ONE EMPLOYEE COME BY AND TELL ME THAT IT WAS LIFE CHANGING, THAT THEY REALLY FOUND SOME SIGNIFICANT HEALTH ISSUES AND WAS A

[00:50:08]

YES. EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU, LAURIE.

AND I JUST I WANT TO NOW THIS IS REALLY PROBABLY NOT A QUESTION, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO KNOW THAT THIS PAST YEAR YOU GUYS HAVE STARTED TO DO ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS TO SEE HOW EMPLOYEES ARE FEELING ABOUT WORKING FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO.

AND IT'S ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS, BOTH CITY KIND OF YOUR YOUR TRADITIONAL MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENTS, BUT ALSO POLICE AND FIRE AND ALL DEPARTMENTS IN TERMS OF THEIR LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT AND HOW EMPLOYEES ARE FEELING.

AND SO I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GETTING READY TO RE SURVEY AND GET THAT DATA, BUT I THINK IT'S JUST FOR THE RESIDENTS TO KNOW THAT WE ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE A CITY THAT IS CONCERNED ABOUT HOW OUR EMPLOYEES ARE FEELING AND ENSURING THAT THEY'RE ENGAGED AND SATISFIED.

AND SO WE'RE SURVEYING THEM TO SEE HOW THEY'RE FEELING BY DEPARTMENT.

AND SO WE HAVE THAT DATA AVAILABLE AS WELL.

CORRECT. AND I WANT TO REALLY UNDERLINE HOW PRIVILEGED WE ARE AS EMPLOYEES THAT THE CITY IS INVESTING IN THAT.

I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL HUMAN RESOURCES CONFERENCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND IN SPEAKING WITH MANY OF MY PEERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, EVEN LARGER CITIES THAN FRISCO, THEY HAVE TRIED THIS EFFORT IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND IT'S GET DONE AND KIND OF SPOTTY WAYS.

AND THEY WERE REALLY JEALOUS OF THE FACT THAT WE WERE DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY AND WE WERE DOING IT ACROSS THE WHOLE CITY, AND WE'RE DOING IT ON AN ONGOING MANNER AND REPEATING IT AND REINFORCING IT WITH DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING.

SO WE I WAS REALLY PROUD TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT WE WERE DOING THAT AND THAT WE ARE INVESTING THAT TIME, MONEY AND RESOURCES INTO CONTINUALLY TRYING TO IMPROVE AND ENGAGE OUR EMPLOYEES SO THAT WE HAVE MORE OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT ARE MORE ACTIVELY TRYING TO FURTHER THE CITY AS OPPOSED TO JUST COASTING ALONG AND BEING PART OF THE LABOR FORCE.

ONCE THE SECOND SURVEY, WE HAD TO MOVE IT BACK A WEEK BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

AND SO STARTING ON MARCH THE FIRST.

BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE BASELINE PROGRESS UP OR DOWN BASED ON CHANGES.

YES, WE EXPECT TO BE DOING OUR TOWN HALL WITH OUR EMPLOYEES MID APRIL, I BELIEVE.

SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME INFORMATION TO YOU SHORTLY THEREAFTER THAT.

THANK YOU, LAUREN. YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'M FOLLOWING UP ON THOSE COMMENTS AND YOU'RE JUST DOING GREAT AND LOTS OF INSPIRATION ON OTHER THOUSAND IDEAS, ANCILLARY COMMENTS.

YOU KNOW, OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH EMPLOYEES IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS JUST OVER TIME AND TAKING THE SURVEY AND JUST KIND OF SOMETIMES THEY'RE WONDERING, AM I ANSWERING A QUESTION ABOUT MY DEPARTMENT OR I'M ANSWERING A QUESTION ABOUT THE CITY AND IF THERE'S A WAY TO MAYBE PERHAPS HAVE SOME CLARITY ON THAT, OR MAYBE WE DO TWO SURVEYS OR SPECIFICALLY ASK, YOU KNOW, WHEN THINKING OF YOUR DEPARTMENT, WHEN ASKING THIS QUESTION OR THINKING OF, YOU KNOW, CITY HALL, CITY LEADERSHIP, WHEN YOU'RE ANSWERING A DIFFERENT QUESTION, THEY WERE LIKE, I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE I'M ANSWERING.

SO WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THE VERBIAGE OF THE QUESTION TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME MORE SPECIFICITY TO THAT AND THEN ALSO PROVIDE SOME CLARITY TO OUR EMPLOYEES TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE INTENT, IS THAT MORE OF A DEPARTMENT LEVEL LEVEL LEADERSHIP THAT QUESTION IS POINTING TO OR A MORE ORGANIZATIONAL WIDE LEADERSHIP THAT THE QUESTION IS POINTING TO.

BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK.

DO YOU THINK? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY.

THEN MOVES TO ITEM EIGHT OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT.

JOHN LAWLER, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

YOU HAVE A MONTHLY REPORT HITTING MOST OF THE TARGETS THAT'S IDENTIFIED.

AND THEN WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING SOME CROSS TRAINING SINCE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF NEW EMPLOYEES.

SO THAT HELPS ON THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SIDE.

BUT BESIDES THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

OUR ANNUAL GROWTH RATE IS ACTUALLY ONE OF OUR LOWEST 4.96.9.

WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH GROWTH PACE FOR MY WHOLE CAREER.

IT'S NICE TO COME UP FOR A BREATH OF AIR.

SAY, JOHN, YOU FINALLY GET TO FEEL LIKE YOU BREATHE JUST A LITTLE BIT.

YES. SO WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU. IT WAS A GREAT REPORT.

THANKS. AND TO MOVE US TO ITEM NINE, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

LEE GLOVER, INTERIM FIRE CHIEF.

I'LL START OFF WITH WE HAD OUR TEAC SYMPOSIUM IN JANUARY.

WE ENDED UP WITH 1070 ATTENDEES THAT ACTUALLY CAME INTO FRISCO, ATTENDED THE CONFERENCE TWO AND ONE HALF DAY.

OUR TILLER LADDER TRUCK ARRIVED IN FEBRUARY.

IT'S GOING TO BE STATIONED AT STATION NINE TEMPORARILY, PROBABLY UNTIL JUNE.

WE GOT A LOT OF DRIVING WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'RE PUTTING IT IN SERVICE IN JUNE.

[00:55:07]

NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

AND THEN WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT WE DID START OUR CITIZENS CITYWIDE CPR AND STOP THE BLEED INITIATIVES AGAIN.

IN JANUARY. WE STARTED THE STOP THE BLEED.

IT'LL GO EVERY OTHER MONTH AND CPR STARTED IN FEBRUARY.

IT'LL GO EVERY OTHER MONTH TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE, SIGN UP AND COME LEARN BOTH.

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO JUST STARTING AN INITIATIVE WITH OUR OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS.

ANY OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT WANT TO DO STOP THE BLEED CPR, AND WE'RE OFFERING THOSE CLASSES ALSO.

OTHER THAN THAT, YOU HAVE OUR MONTHLY REPORT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? LOOK, CHIEF, WE WANT TO ITEM TEN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT.

IF YOU'RE LEAVING, THOUGH, I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE FIRE RECOGNITION THAT WE ALL ATTENDED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

IT WAS GREAT TO RECOGNIZE THE HEROIC EFFORTS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO THANK YOU FOR INVITING US.

IT WAS A GREAT CELEBRATION.

SO YOU JUST SET UP CHIEF CHILSON FOR.

I KNOW IT'S A SETUP.

I DON'T HAVE A VIDEO TO PLAY.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

DAVID CHILSON, CHIEF HERE AT FRISCO PD.

I'LL START WITH THIS IS A STATE REQUIRED REPORT.

MANY PEOPLE KNOW IT AS A RACIAL PROFILING REPORT.

WE REFER TO IT AS A BIAS BASED PROFILING REPORT BECAUSE WE DO A LITTLE BIT MORE HOLISTIC LOOK AT WE DON'T JUST FOCUS ON RACE.

WE FOCUS ON AGE, GENDER, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

SO JUST FOR SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY, THIS IS A REPORT THAT WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER FOR 19 YEARS NOW.

AND I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YEAR IT WAS REQUIRED BY LAW, BUT WE WERE DOING IT LONG BEFORE THE LAW REQUIRED IT.

SO WE JUST COMPLETED THIS REPORT AND SUBMITTED IT TO THE STATE.

THAT QR CODE WILL TAKE YOU TO THE COMPLETE REPORT, WHICH IS SEVERAL PAGES LONG, BUT IT PROVIDES A LOT MORE DETAIL.

AND THEN YOU SEE KIND OF A BRIEF SNAPSHOT COMPARISON OF OUR DATA THIS YEAR TO LAST YEAR.

AND TO SUMMARIZE IT, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN ANYTHING, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY ANY ANY ISSUES IDENTIFIED FROM THE REPORT.

ONE THING I WILL NOTE IS THE 41,540 CONTACTS WE HAD ARE THAT REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OF ALMOST 7000 TOTAL CONTACTS.

SO WE MADE A LOT MORE CONTACTS THIS YEAR AND ALSO HIGHLIGHT THAT OUT OF ALL OF THOSE CONTACTS, WE SAW ONLY SIX COMPLAINTS RELATED TO RACIAL PROFILING.

THEY WERE ALL UNFOUNDED.

AND THAT IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WE HAD AS LAST YEAR.

SO VERY LOW PERCENTAGE OF COMPLAINTS THAT WE GET RELATED TO RACIAL PROFILING IN THAT REPORT.

THE NEXT THING I'LL HIGHLIGHT IS WE'VE BEGUN OUR BUILDING EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT.

THIS IS EXPECTED TO TAKE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT INVOLVES EXPANDING OUR LOCKER ROOMS, DOING A LOT OF REHAB INSIDE OUR MAIN HEADQUARTERS BUILDING AS WELL AS THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN OUTLINE OF THE IMPACT FOR OUR SECOND FLOOR AS WELL AS ON OUR SITE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NEW 19,000 SQUARE FOOT AUXILIARY BUILDING.

AND THOSE ARE SOME RENDERINGS OF IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE A LOT MORE STORAGE, A NEW FITNESS AREA, ANOTHER TRAINING ROOM, AND MAINLY THE BUILDING IS FOR VEHICLE BASE TO WORK ON VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, STORAGE FOR SWAT AND THEN OUR RADIO OPS AND TECHNOLOGY GROUP AS WELL.

SO WE'LL BE EXCITED WHEN IT'S FINISHED.

IT'S GOING TO BE PAINFUL UNTIL WE GET THERE, BUT IT'S MUCH NEEDED EXPANSION TO OUR FACILITY.

WE MOVED INTO OUR BUILDING IN 2006 AND SO WE'VE RUN OUT OF SPACE, SO WE'RE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF MORE MORE SPACE.

AND THEN THE LAST THING I'LL MENTION IS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT WE WERE NAMED SAFEST CITY IN AMERICA BY SMART ASSET.

AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALLY JUST TALK ABOUT THE GREAT WORK OF NOT ONLY OUR MEN AND WOMEN AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT CERTAINLY AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

YOU SEE KIND OF THE METRICS THAT WERE USED RELATED TO THIS RANKING.

AND IT ALSO INVOLVES THOSE MORTALITY AND POISONING.

THAT SPEAKS TO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT'S INVOLVEMENT IN THIS AS WELL.

SO I'LL BRAG ON OUR FOLKS AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

I WANT TO GO ON RECORD AS SAYING THAT.

RIGHT. BUT IT DOES TAKE A TEAM EFFORT.

IT'S DEFINITELY A TEAM EFFORT AND IT'S DEFINITELY WE APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY'RE A BIG PART OF KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE AND

[01:00:07]

SO WITH THAT, I DO WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT WE'RE NUMBER ONE ON THE LIST, IT'S NOT LOST ON US THAT WE STILL DO HAVE CRIME VICTIMS. AND WE CERTAINLY ARE VERY COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT ARE STILL VICTIMIZED AT CRIME.

SO DESPITE BEING RANKED NUMBER ONE, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT WAYS TO GET BETTER AND IMPROVE.

SO THAT'S OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AND WE'LL CONTINUE FOCUSING ON GETTING BETTER AS WE GROW.

SO WITH THAT, YOU HAVE OUR JANUARY REPORT.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTION IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH P AND Z, LET US KNOW.

GET IN THE BUILDING. AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

CHIEF, I DID JUST HAVE A COMMENT.

WANTED TO THANK YOU. WE HAD A YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS INTERESTED IN LEARNING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT CITY GOVERNANCE AND ALSO TRAFFIC IN FRISCO AS SHE'S EARNING HER EAGLE SCOUT BADGE.

AND SO I SAID, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT, I CAN CONNECT YOU WITH OUR CHIEF OF POLICE.

AND SHE WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO YOU.

AND HE IMMEDIATELY WROTE BACK IN THE SAME DAY.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE SAFEST CITY IN THE US.

AND I THINK TO KNOW THAT IS ONE THING, BUT THEN ALSO TO FEEL IT AND TO FEEL SAFE IS ANOTHER LEVEL.

AND YOU HAVE PROVIDED THAT FOR US, THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT. CHIEF, RECENTLY I SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT VARIOUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS BEING UNDERSTAFFED AND STAFFING BEING AN ISSUE. I KNOW WE'VE COME A LONG WAY ON STAFFING, BUT CAN YOU JUST SPEAK SO THAT OUR RESIDENTS CAN HEAR WHERE YOU FEEL WE ARE RELATIVE TO STAFFING? YEAH. SO AS OF THIS MORNING, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SNAPSHOT, WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER 40 VACANCIES.

ABOUT HALF OF THOSE ARE CIVILIAN POSITIONS, SO THEY'RE NON SWORN POSITIONS.

SO THEY WOULD BE DISPATCH DETENTION.

WE HAVE SOME ADMIN POSITIONS AS WELL AND THEN THE OTHERS ARE SWORN POSITIONS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT SEVERAL IN BACKGROUND.

SO BUT TO SUM THAT ALL UP WE ARE DEFINITELY WE ARE ALWAYS HIRING AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY THAT'S INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR I'M NOT BIASED, BUT I THINK THE BEST POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTRY, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY.

AND SO YOU CAN GO TO JOIN FRISCO PD AND LEARN ALL ABOUT THE OPENINGS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO TO LOOK AT ALL APPLICATIONS FOR ALL THE POSITIONS THAT WE HAVE AND HOPEFULLY GET THOSE FILLED.

CHIEF, JUST TO CLARIFY, WE ARE HIRING, BUT WE'RE NOT HURTING.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THANK YOU. MOST OF THE NEW SWORN POSITIONS WERE NEW POSITIONS THAT WERE JUST AUTHORIZED IN THE FY 23 BUDGET. THANK YOU.

GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 11, WHICH IS OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.

COUNCIL. WHAT UPDATES DO YOU HAVE? GO AHEAD. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL LET YOU GO FIRST. YOU FIGURE IT OUT.

OKAY, WELL, THEN I'LL GO FIRST WHILE YOU'RE DIGGING THAT OUT.

BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE MET AGAIN TODAY, AND WE RECEIVED THE REPORT FROM OUR AUDITORS FOR THE CITY AUDIT.

AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT.

AND YOU WILL ALL GET MORE OF THIS ON THE SEVENTH WHEN STAFF PRESENTS IT.

BUT THE AUDIT WAS A CLEAN AUDIT WITH NO ADJUSTMENTS.

WE ALSO ONE OF THE FIRST AUDITS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITH GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES IN THIS AREA, THIS AUDIT CYCLE, WHICH IS A SPECTACULAR FEAT BY OUR STAFF BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING CHANGES THAT WERE MADE THIS YEAR.

SO AS ALWAYS, THEY DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB.

THEY'VE GOT ANOTHER HEAVY LIFT WITH SOME UPCOMING ACCOUNTING CHANGES NEXT YEAR.

AND THEY ALSO HAD SOME WHAT WE CALL WHAT ARE THEY? ONE, AUDITS, THE SINGLE AUDITS.

THANK YOU. WHICH ARE SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING THAT WE HAD BECAUSE OF COVID FUNDS AND WHATNOT.

AND ALL OF THOSE WERE DONE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, TOO.

[INVOCATION]

OUR MARCH 29TH WILL BE OUR VIETNAM VETERANS CEREMONY TO BE HOSTED BY THE FRISCO VFW.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL KERRY WILL BE OUR GUEST SPEAKER AND WE'LL HAVE MORE DETAILS, SUCH AS LOCATION AND TIME FOR THAT LATER.

BUT JUST WANT TO GET THAT OUT ON EVERYBODY'S CALENDAR NOW THAT'S BECOME THE VERY POPULAR EVENT, OUR PURPLE HEART EVENT AND OUR VIETNAM VETERANS EVENT.

WE'VE SEEN THE PARTICIPATION FROM THE COMMUNITY.

[01:05:02]

ANYTHING ELSE? LEGISLATING BRAIN.

I'LL LET YOU DO IT. ALL RIGHT.

SO A FEW OF US ARE GOING TO BE HEADED TO AUSTIN FOR ADVOCATING FOR FRISCO.

AND WE'VE GOT THIS GREAT INFORMATION ON WHAT WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR.

IT'S CREATED BY OUR LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, BUT THEN ALSO PUT TOGETHER BY A STAFF.

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THAT, I'M SURE YOU CAN GET A COPY.

BUT WE'RE EXCITED TO REPRESENT FRISCO THIS WEEK IN AUSTIN.

ANYTHING ELSE AND THEN MOVE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

ITEMS PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THE CONSENT AGENDA CANNOT BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FIRST DISCUSSION IN SEPARATE ACTION.

COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT AND MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD.

HAVE ITEMS 13 THROUGH 36 FOR CONSIDERATION.

IF YOU APPROVE ITEMS 13 THROUGH 36, SECOND.

MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY BILL ON FAVOR, MOTION PASSES, FIVE ZERO.

THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

ITEM 37 IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT IS PURSUING AN EXEMPTION FROM STATE REGULATION UNDER SECTION 42.41 B 14 OF THE TEXAS HUMAN RESOURCES CODE TO OFFER YOUTH RECREATION PROGRAMS AND CONSIDER AN ACT TO DIRECT STATE TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I HOPE YOU'RE ALL DOING WELL TONIGHT.

LAST YEAR WE SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT THIS ITEM.

WE RUN AN IN-HOUSE SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM, AND IN ORDER TO BECOME EXEMPT FROM THE STATE, WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING IN WHICH YOU ALL APPROVE AN ORDINANCE FOR OUR STANDARDS OF CARE.

WE HAVE TO REVIEW THIS ANNUALLY WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, WHICH WE HAVE DONE.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL PUBLIC HEARING.

THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM WILL BE THE CONSIDER AN ACT.

I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE NOW OR THE NEXT ITEM.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR. AYE.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE? MOVED BY BILL.

SECOND. SECOND.

MY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND JUST JUMP TO THE NEXT ONE AND TAKE QUESTIONS THERE.

ITEM 38 IS CONSIDER AN ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A STANDARD OF CARE TO CERTAIN YOUTH PROGRAMS. AND SO WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE. ITEM 38.

MOTION BY BILL. SECOND.

[PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE]

AYE. MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO. TAKE US TO ITEM 39.

DISCUSS AND SELECT MEMBERS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

OTHERWISE CALLED CPAC TO UPDATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

JOHN, YOU WANT TO GIVE SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS? YES, JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW.

OVERVIEW. SO IN THE LAST THREE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES, WE HAD A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISOR COMMITTEE MADE UP OF 23 MEMBERS, AND THAT INCLUDED MEMBERS FROM THE LIKE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

[INAUDIBLE] I MENTIONED THE CHAMBER, BUT PARKS AND REC BOARD AND SO FORTH, BEING INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

AND THEN FOR CITY COUNCIL SELECTING THE OTHER 17 MEMBERS FOR THE COMMITTEE AND WE'LL START MEETING PROBABLY AT THE END OF MARCH.

WE'LL BE BRINGING THE CONTRACT BEFORE COUNCIL AND THE SELECTION OF THE CONSULTANT TO UPDATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NEXT MONTH.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR YOU MAKE THE APPOINTMENT APPOINTMENTS AND WE PROVIDED THE ALL THE APPLICATIONS DIVIDED BY QUADRANTS IN THE CITY FOR YOU TO SELECT FROM.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, JOHN. AND COUNCIL DID HAVE THIS DISCUSSION IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO APPLIED FOR THIS.

WE HAD WE WERE OVERWHELMED BY THE VOLUME AND QUALITY OF THE RESUMES THAT WE RECEIVED TO BE ON THIS COMMITTEE, SO MUCH SO THAT WE COULD NOT, AS A COUNCIL, STAY WITHIN THE CONFINES THAT SHE LAID OUT FOR US AND NEEDED TO APPOINT MORE THAN 17.

I THINK WE ENDED UP WITH 20, INCLUDING FOUR PRIOR MEMBERS AND THEN 16 ADDITIONAL.

AND HOW IT KIND OF LAID OUT IS WE HAD TO NARROW IT DOWN TO FOUR ADDITIONAL MEMBERS FROM EACH QUADRANT OF THE CITY.

IT WAS NOT AN EASY TASK, BALANCING THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES, TRYING TO GET A GREAT CROSS-SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY FROM A THOUGHT PERSPECTIVE, FROM A DIVERSITY PERSPECTIVE, JUST REALLY TRY TO REPRESENT ALL THE DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS THAT MAKE UP THIS COMMUNITY.

[01:10:01]

AND I CAN TELL ANYONE WHO IS DISAPPOINTED THAT DID NOT MAKE THE FINAL LIST.

IT WAS A VERY CHALLENGING PROCESS FOR THE COUNCIL BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE EASILY PROBABLY PUT 40 PEOPLE ON THERE.

BUT AT SOME POINT, I KNOW, JOHN, YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THE GROUP.

SO MR. KEATING WAS OUR SCRIBE AND NOTE TAKER AND HE'S GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION OF THOSE CITIZENS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THIS LIST IS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

AND THIS IS BASED ON INPUT FROM ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE MAYOR, AND WHICH I'M GOING TO READ OFF THE NAMES OF THOSE.

JUST JUST MAKE A MOTION WITH ALL THE NAMES.

ALL RIGHT, CHAD BRUBAKER, ON BEHALF OF FRISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

YOU KNOW, ME, TOO. JUST FOR THE PUBLIC NOW'S STEPHANIE WAGNER ON BEHALF OF FRISCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, TODD FISH FROM FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

TONY FELKER OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, LISA KIRBY REPRESENTING PARKS AND REC, AND STEVE COHN FROM PLANNING AND ZONING, AND NOW OUR COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.

RICK FLETCHER, JANIE PATTERSON.

LYNN SALERNO.

DAVE WILCOX.

JUDY ADAMS. KAREN CUNNINGHAM.

CYNTHIA FLORES, MATT UPCHURCH, WARREN RUIZ, SANDRA SCHIRMER, RAGHU TOMETI, DAVID WANG AND ANDERSON.

KEN HOTIS.

MICHAEL LEVINSON, STEPHANIE SPIESS CUNNINGHAM AND.

VALERIE WOULD. BELIEVE THAT'S.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA ON FAVOR.

MOTION PASSES, FIVE ZERO.

ANYONE WHO WAS NOMINATED FOR THIS COMMITTEE THAT IS IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT.

AND I'LL STAND UP. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR SERVING.

OKAY. NOW TO MOVE US TO ITEM 40, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE.

AMENDING ORDINANCE 2023-02-08.

ORDERING A GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MAY SIX, 2023 FOR THE PURPOSES OF ELECTING THE MAYOR AND TWO MEMBERS OF THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL.

PLACES NUMBER FIVE AND SIX AND PROVIDING FOR UPDATED EARLY VOTING INFORMATION FOR VOTERS IN DENTON COUNTY.

YES. MAYOR COUNCIL. THIS IS JUST AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU PASSED AT YOUR LAST MEETING.

SO DURING THAT MEETING, WE WERE STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH BOTH DENTON COUNTY AND COLLIN COUNTY REGARDING THEIR EARLY VOTING HOURS.

DIDN'T COUNTY DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND DEVIATE FROM COLLIN COUNTY AND HAVE VOTING EARLY VOTING, ON SUNDAY, APRIL THE 30TH FROM 11 TO 5, AND COLLIN COUNTY WILL NOT BE HAVING THE SAME VOTING HOURS.

SO THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

COUNCIL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?

[4. Recognition for Anna Solis, Friends of the Frisco Public Library Scholarship Recipient]

A MOTION BY BILL SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR,AYE.

MOTION PASSES. FIVE ZERO.

ITEM 41 IS CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY SECRETARY TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR AND THE DENTON COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR FOR ELECTION SERVICES FOR THE MAY SIX, 2023 CITY OF FRISCO GENERAL ELECTION.

UM. TO LIKE TO SPEAK.

YES, WE DO HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO SPEAK.

DEBBIE LINDSTROM.

AND SHANNON AYERS. IF YOU CAN JUST MAKE YOUR WAY DOWN TO THE FRONT AFTERWARDS.

GOOD EVENING. DEBBIE LINDSTROM.

AND MY ADDRESS IS ON THE CARD.

ON FEBRUARY 7TH, I STOOD BEFORE THIS BODY AT ALMOST MIDNIGHT WITH A STORM RAGING OUTSIDE TO BRING YOU MY CONCERNS ABOUT OUR UPCOMING MAY ELECTION.

AFTER I SPOKE, MS. MOREAU ASKED ME TO TO GET BACK WITH HER AND TO EMAIL HER MY CONCERNS.

THE VERY NEXT DAY I SENT A SIX PAGE DOCUMENT OUTLINING THE ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS.

ALTHOUGH I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL TODAY AT 2:11 P.M., I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE WAS NEVER A DIALOG ABOUT THESE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES.

EVEN THOUGH MR. SHERBERT SENT AN EMAIL TO THE CITY ON FEBRUARY 15TH.

I WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO A COUPLE OF POINTS FROM THE EMAIL SENT THIS AFTERNOON.

NUMBER ONE, MR. SHERBERT INDICATES THAT THE TESTING BOARD DID SIGN AND SEALED THE TEST MATERIALS.

HOWEVER, I HAVE AN EMAIL FROM MR. SHERBERT APOLOGIZING TO ONE OF THE TESTING BOARD MEMBERS FOR NEGLECTING TO INCLUDE HIM IN SIGNING OFF ON THIS REQUIRED STEP.

I CAN GIVE THAT TO YOU AFTER SPEAKING.

NUMBER TWO, THE LAW IS THE SOURCE OF TRUTH AND CLEAR, AND IT DOESN'T NEED ANY ADVISORY ATTACHED TO IT TO EXPLAIN IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SAYS THAT THEY SHALL

[01:15:06]

MR. SHERBET INDICATES THAT COLLIN COUNTY WILL COMPLY WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE GUIDELINES IN HIS EMAIL, BUT IN ANOTHER EMAIL TO ME, THE ELECTIONS OFFICE SAID THOSE GUIDELINES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER, UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

THEREFORE, WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW FOR MAY.

AS A REMINDER, YOUR ORDINANCE SAYS THAT YOU WILL ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.

IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE SECRETARY OF STATE GUIDELINES.

I DID GIVE A RESPONSE TO MR. BRO'S DECEMBER 6TH, SIXTH EMAIL ON DECEMBER 15TH.

IT IS INTERESTING THAT MY RESPONSE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PACKET YOU RECEIVED FROM THE ELECTIONS OFFICE.

I WILL GIVE YOU A COPY OF BOTH OF THOSE EMAILS AFTER MY SPEECH.

ANOTHER ISSUE IN YOUR CONTRACT IS REGARDING THE PARTIAL HAND COUNT OUTLINED IN TECH 127.201.

THAT LAW SAYS TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE TABULATION OF ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM RESULTS, THE GENERAL CUSTODIAN OF ELECTION RECORDS SHALL CONDUCT A MANUAL COUNT OF ALL THE RACES IN AT LEAST 1% OF THE ELECTION PRECINCTS, OR IN THREE PRECINCTS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

THE ELECTIONS OFFICE MODIFIES THIS LAW BASED ON GUIDANCE BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE ADVISORIES, BUT THE LAW CLEARLY SAYS MANUAL COUNTS ON ALL RACES AND AT LEAST 1% OF THE PRECINCTS OR IN THREE PRECINCTS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER FOR COLLIN COUNTY, THAT WOULD BE THREE PRECINCTS.

SO WE EXPECT THE COUNT TO BE FOR ALL RACES IN THOSE THREE PRECINCTS, NOT POLLING PLACES.

AS A REMINDER, THE ORDINANCE AND CONTRACT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SIGN GIVES THE MAYOR AND CITY SECRETARY AND CONSULT WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY AUTHORITY TO TAKE ANY AND ALL ACTIONS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE.

THE CITIZENS ARE WATCHING AND THIS INCLUDES THIS BODY.

IF THE TEST AND COUNT ARE NOT LAWFULLY PERFORMED, THEN THIS ORDINANCE REQUIRES YOU TO FORCE COMPLIANCE.

ANY INACTION MIGHT RISE TO THE LEVEL OF MALADMINISTRATION ALL THE CITIZENS WANT IS FAIR ELECTIONS AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW IS IMPERATIVE.

TO THAT END.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SHANNON AYERS.

GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

MY NAME IS SHANNON AYERS, AND MY ADDRESS IS ON THE CARD.

SO GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

MY NAME IS SHANNON AYERS, AND I'VE BEEN A FRISCO RESIDENT FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, AND I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF AN ORGANIZATION CALLED COUNTY CITIZENS DEFENDING FREEDOM IN COLLIN COUNTY. OUR MISSION IS TO EQUIP AND EMPOWER CITIZENS TO PRESERVE FREEDOM FOR THEMSELVES AND FUTURE GENERATIONS AND TO RESOLVE BREACHES OF LIBERTY THROUGH LOCAL AWARENESS, LOCAL LIGHT AND LOCAL ACTION.

LAST NOVEMBER, I ATTENDED THE PUBLIC LOGIC AND ACCURACY TEST THAT WAS CONDUCTED BY THE COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICE, AND I WITNESSED THESE UNLAWFUL ACTIONS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT, OUR ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR BRUCE SHERBERT, BEGAN TO READ OFF A PIECE OF PAPER KICKING OFF THE LAB TESTING.

A CITIZEN WITH A COPY OF THE LAW STOPPED HIM AND ASKED, WHERE IS THE TESTING BOARD? BRUCE SAID, OH, YOU WANT A TESTING BOARD? WHO IN HERE WANTS TO BE ON THE TESTING BOARD? AND HE PROCEEDED TO CHOOSE FROM THOSE IN ATTENDANCE.

THESE CITIZENS WERE NOT PREPARED OR KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE DUTIES OF THE BOARD AND WERE NEVER GIVEN WRITTEN PROCEDURES ON THEIR DUTY.

BOTH THE CREATION OF THE BOARD AND WRITTEN PROCEDURES ARE REQUIRED BY LAW.

THAT'S TEXAS EDUCATION CODE 129.

023A. THE TESTING WAS CONDUCTED IN A VERY SMALL AND CROWDED HALLWAY WHERE CITIZENS COULD NOT EASILY VIEW THE TESTING.

THOSE WHO WERE CONDUCTING THE TEST WERE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED BY SS, SO IT WAS S AND S TESTING THEIR OWN MACHINES.

LET'S SEE, SEEING ONLY A HANDFUL OF MACHINES, I ASKED IF THERE WERE OTHER MACHINES BEING TESTED.

THE ELECTIONS OFFICE INDICATED THAT THEY WERE TESTING IN THE BACK OF THE WAREHOUSE, BUT THE CITIZENS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GO BACK THERE.

THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW.

THERE IS ONLY ONE LOGIC AND ACCURACY TEST, AND THE LAW SAYS THAT IT MUST BE PUBLIC.

THE TITLE OF THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE 129.023 IS PUBLIC TEST OF LOGIC AND ACCURACY.

SECTION C ONE OF THIS LAW ALSO REQUIRES THAT THE TESTING INCLUDE A PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION TO VALIDATE THAT THE SOFTWARE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED.

WHEN ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THIS, IF WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE VALIDATION, THE ELECTIONS OFFICE SAID THEY HAD ALREADY CONDUCTED THIS TEST EARLIER IN THE WEEK.

THIS DEMONSTRATION WAS NOT PUBLIC.

THE LOGIC AND ACCURACY TESTING WAS CONTINUED OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO MONDAY OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF THE PUBLIC.

IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT IN TARRANT COUNTY, THEIR LOGIC AND ACCURACY TESTING TAKES ABOUT A WEEK.

HOURS TOOK 2 HOURS.

[01:20:04]

THE LAW MUST BE FOLLOWED.

IF WE ARE TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM.

IT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE SAID THAT KDF IS NOT NEW TO THIS ISSUE.

WE'VE BEEN ACTIVELY PURSUING LEGAL ELECTIONS IN ALL OF COLLIN COUNTY, SPEAKING BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS COURT MANY TIMES, COMMUNICATING WITH MR. SHERBERT AND OTHERS, MANY TIMES WITH LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE.

SO I'M REQUESTING THAT YOU SEND REPRESENTATIVES FAMILIAR WITH THE LAW TO THE TO ATTEND THE NEXT LOGIC AND ACCURACY TEST AND ENSURE THAT THE MONEY THAT YOU ARE SPENDING FOR THIS ELECTION IS WELL SPENT AND THAT WITH YOUR SUPPORT, THE ELECTIONS CONDUCTED THIS MAY WILL BE LAWFUL.

THANK YOU. UM, KRISTI, I KNOW WE DON'T ADMINISTER OUR OWN ELECTIONS HERE IN FRISCO.

WE CONTRACT THROUGH THE COUNTIES, BUT I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR COUNCIL.

WE TAKE MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING STATE LAWS AND GUIDELINES.

YES, IT'S ACTUALLY OUTLINED IN OUR CONTRACTS THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE.

AND WHO OVERSEES THAT TEXAS ELECTION CODE IS THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

SO I APPLAUD YOU LADIES FOR COMING HERE.

I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE SOS AND THE AG BOTH.

I WOULD TELL YOU TO CONTINUE THOSE DIALOGS WITH THEM BECAUSE THOSE TYPE OF CHANGES TO THE LAW, WE HAVE TO COME FROM THOSE PARTICULAR OFFICES AND NOT FROM THE CITY OF FRISCO. I WAS REASSURED BY THE COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION THAT ALL OF OUR ELECTIONS ARE HELD IN ACCORDANCE TO THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND IN VIOLATION OF THAT CODE.

AND NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED FROM THE US OR THE AG AT THIS TIME.

SO I WOULD TELL YOU THANK YOU FOR COMING AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE DIALOGS IF YOU DO HAVE CONCERNS.

THANK YOU, CHRIS. AND FURTHERMORE, I WILL BE ON THE TESTING BOARD THIS GOING ROUND FOR THE MAY ELECTION AS WELL.

JUST AS AN ADDED LAYER.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

THIS ITEM MOVED TO APPROVE ITEM 41.

I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. MOTION BY BILL.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION PASSES. FIVE ZERO.

THEN IT MOVES ITEM 42 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE CANCELLATION OF THE SECOND CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN JULY, SETTING THE DATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION IN JULY AND SETTING THE DATES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION.

SO WE NORMALLY CANCEL A MEETING IN JULY AND DECEMBER MORE THAN ANYTHING, TO GIVE OUR STAFF A BREAK FROM US IN THE WORK.

AND USUALLY THINGS ARE SLOWING DOWN DURING THOSE MONTHS.

SO. DATES OF THE WORK SESSION.

THERE WAS A COUPLE THAT WERE PROPOSED.

THURSDAY, JUNE 22ND AND FRIDAY STARTING AT NOON AND FRIDAY, JUNE 23RD OR THE 29TH AND 30TH, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR CALENDARS.

I WILL BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY JUNE 22ND, JUNE 23RD.

HOW DOES THE NEXT WEEK LOOK FOR EVERYONE? WHICH WOULD BE THE 29TH AND THE 30TH.

BOTH. WEEKENDS. WORK FOR ME.

WORKS FOR ME. SO 20/30 WORK FOR ME.

IT'S LIKE WE'VE GOT THAT.

AND. THE COUNCIL MEETING WOULD FALL ON JULY 4TH IF WE KEPT THE FIRST ONE. SO WE COULD MOVE THAT.

YOUR OPTIONS ARE MONDAY, JULY 3RD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5TH, OR THURSDAY, JULY 6TH.

OR YOU GUYS COULD CHOOSE A DIFFERENT DATE IN THE MONTH IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MEETING IN JULY AND IT'S.

I WILL SPEAK FOR STAFF THAT WE PREFER NOT TO MAKE THEM COME IN FOR JULY 4TH.

SO WE'RE RUINING ANY LONG WEEKENDS BY PICKING THE THIRD.

YOU'RE RUINING THE ABILITY FOR A LONG WEEKEND.

YES. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LEAVING ON THE FIFTH OR THE 10TH.

UM, I'M FINE WITH THE THIRD.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT PREFERENTIAL FOR ME, BUT I'LL MAKE IT WORK.

IT'S THE THIRD WORK FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

YES, BUT OK SAID ALL WE NEEDED TO GET IT ALL DONE.

ALL RIGHT, SO IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT MOTION, I MOVE MAKE THE MOTION THAT HOLD THE SUMMER WORK SESSION ON JUNE 29 AND 30, AND WE MOVE OUR JULY 4TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO JULY 3RD.

[01:25:05]

SECOND, BY ANGELIA ON FAVOR, AYE.

THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MR. KEATING THAT HE DID LEAVE OFF THREE NAMES FROM OUR CPAC NOMINATIONS.

AND WHEN I TOOK THIS JOB THAT SAID THERE WOULD BE NO MATH.

SO DO WE NEED TO AMEND THE MOTION OR DID YOU JUST NOTE I DID NOTE THE ADDITIONS THAT HE HAD LEFT OFF.

BUT IF HE WANTS TO READ THEM NOW FOR THE OFFICIAL RECORD, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, PLEASE.

I WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT MY ERROR HERE.

SO YEAH, I DID A QUICK COUNT AND I ONLY HAVE 17 AND I AND CLEARLY WE SAID THAT THERE WERE 20.

SO THOSE OTHER THREE ARE [INAUDIBLE], DAVID BICKERSTAFF AND LORI MEDINA.

AND THAT GIVES US A TOTAL OF 20.

OR ANY OF THOSE THREE HERE TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. MAYOR COUNCIL. I RECOMMEND A MOTION IN VOTE JUST TO APPROVE.

SO JOHN JUST MADE A MOTION TO ADD THOSE ADDITIONAL THREE NAMES FOR ITEM 39 OF THE REGULAR AGENDA.

SECOND BY ANGELIA ON FAVOR PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU, JOHN. AND WE STILL HAVE SOME EXECUTIVE SESSION WORK TO DO.

SO I LOOK FOR A MOTION TO RECESS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION.

MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.

PASSES. FIVE ZERO. RECESS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 8:26 P.M..

IN MY FAVOR, AYE.

PASSES FIVE ZERO, RECONVENE AT 9:35 P.M., THEN MOVE US TO ITEM 43.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION WITH CITY STAFF CONCERNING ANY ACTIONS REQUIRED BY CITY STAFF AS A RESULT OF TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

DID ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING? WE NOW HAVE 20 PACK MEMBERS AND THEN 44 IS GOVERNANCE MONITORING.

I GAVE US A 25 OUT OF 25 FOR AN OVERALL MEETING RATING OF AN A PLUS.

AND THEN JUST ONE FOLLOW UP POINT.

DO WE SEND ANY RESPONSE TO THOSE THAT DID NOT GET NOMINATED LIKE PEOPLE WHO APPLIED? WE CAN DO THAT.

YEAH. WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FALLS THROUGH AND DOES THAT.

AND THEN MAYBE POINT THEM TO THAT NEW KIND OF VOLUNTEER PAGE FOR ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

ABSOLUTELY. SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS TAKE OUR NORMAL BOARDS AND COMMISSION LETTER THAT HAS ALL THAT INFORMATION IN THE LINKS AND GIVE THAT TO JOHN AND HIS GROUP AND HAVE THEM SEND IT OUT. SO WE'LL ADD THAT TO ITEM 43.

YES. AND I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

MOTION BY BRIAN, SECOND BY JOHN ON FAVOR PASSES FIVE ZERO ADJOURNED AT 9:36 P.M..
