ITEM EIGHT IS OUR LIBRARY REPORT.
HOORAY! YAY! YAY! SHELLY HOLLEY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR.
YOU HAVE MY REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU, AND I THINK I WILL GO SO FAST.
WE HAD 12,500-ISH VISITORS OVER THE WEEKEND AS WE OPENED THE NEW LIBRARY.
THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ABLE TO ATTEND.
SO THERE'S SOME PEOPLE EXPLORING DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE LIBRARY AND OF COURSE, REXY THE STAR.
SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
WELL, SATURDAY WAS QUITE A CELEBRATION, SO CONGRATULATIONS FOR ALL YOUR LEADERSHIP AND HARD WORK.
I KNOW IT WAS PROBABLY AN EMOTIONAL DAY FOR YOU, BUT JUST SEEING JUST THE JOY OF ALL THE FAMILIES COMING THROUGH THE DOOR AND I THINK, WOW, WAS THE MOST USED WORD OF THE DAY AS PEOPLE KIND OF CAME IN AND TOOK IT ALL IN.
SO IT WAS, YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU WERE VERY PROUD THAT DAY.
IT WAS A PROUD DAY FOR COUNCIL IN THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.
THANK YOU. AND I WILL SAY, I CHALLENGED YOU IN THIS LIBRARY TO BUILD A LIBRARY THAT EVEN JEFF CHENEY WOULD USE, AND I HAVE USED IT FOR MEETINGS TWICE ALREADY THIS WEEK. OH, SO YOU'VE LIKE DOUBLED THE TIME YOU'VE BEEN IN THE FRISCO LIBRARY SINCE.
AND SO THIS LIBRARY, TRUTHFULLY, IS SO MANY THINGS TO SO MANY PEOPLE.
AND WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT THIS IS A TRUE ASSET, THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR MEETING ROOMS AND SPACES FOR THEIR TEAMS. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A REAL ASSET FOR SMALL BUSINESSES LIKE MINE THAT JUST NEED A PLACE FOR THE TEAM TO MEET.
YEP, GREAT. I APPRECIATE THAT.
WE WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BECOME A COMMUNITY LIVING ROOM AND WHETHER IT'S ENTREPRENEURS, STUDENTS, SMALL BUSINESS NEIGHBORS, WHATEVER IT IS, A COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE.
SO I'M SO GLAD YOU'VE USED IT.
THANK YOU, KELLY. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SUPER SPECIFIC ON THIS, BUT COMPARED TO A NORMAL WEEKEND, WOULD YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT YOU COULD GET 12,000-13,000 ALMOST PEOPLE THROUGH YOUR LIBRARY? NO, HONESTLY.
IT'S SUCH A GREAT BUILDING THAT IT ABSORBED THEM WITHOUT TOO MUCH PAIN.
THE BUILDING WE HAD LEFT COULD NEVER HAVE MANAGED THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS CONSIDERABLY SMALLER.
BUT THE I THINK THE DESIGN REALLY HELPS.
SO AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WE HAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THE SPACE.
IT SEEMS TO ABSORB THEM VERY WELL AND MAKE PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME.
CONGRATULATIONS. VERY WELL DONE.
AND I DARE SAY WE HAVE ONE WITHIN THE FOUR WALLS OF THE LIBRARY.
AND SO I THINK NOT ONLY DID YOU CONSTRUCT AN INCREDIBLE EDIFICE FOR US TO ALL ENJOY, BUT PULLING IN DIFFERENT THOUGHTS AND IDEAS AND TALENTS TO PULL THAT TOGETHER I THOUGHT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
THANK YOU. WE'D LIKE TO CALL IT EDUTAINMENT.
[00:10:01]
I LIKE THAT EDUTAINMENT, BUT THANK YOU.SO THANK YOU. DO YOU WANT TO SAY I WAS THERE FOR THREE HOURS IN THE MORNING, I COULDN'T LEAVE.
AND THEN WE CAME BACK BECAUSE I DRAGGED MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER.
I WAS LIKE, YOU HAVE TO SEE IT.
YOU CAN ALSO CHECK OUT TRAVEL BACKPACKS.
AND THE MAKERSPACE THAT IS ANOTHER SUCH A UNIQUE PIECE OF THE LIBRARY THAT YOU CAN IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT READING AND EVEN THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM PART OF IT, BUT YOU CAN CREATE AND AND ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS ETCHED WINE GLASSES, CHEESE BOARDS AND FOR FREE, YOU JUST BRING YOUR DESIGN AND YOU CAN PRINT IT OUT RIGHT THERE AND CREATE WHATEVER YOU WANT.
SO IT'S JUST REMARKABLE WHAT YOU'VE CREATED FOR US.
THE MAKERSPACE IS THEMED AROUND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, SO IT IS WE TAKE OUR MANDATE FOR COMPUTER LITERACY SERIOUSLY, AND SO WE OFFER CLASSES TO BE ABLE TO USE THE 3D PRINTERS, THE LASER CUTTER, THE BOOK PUBLISHING MACHINE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT.
SHELLEY. YOU HAVE SO MANY NEW PROGRAMS IN THAT NEW LIBRARY.
CAN YOU GIVE A SHAMELESS PLUG FOR WHERE PEOPLE CAN FIND ONLINE? WHAT WHEN YOU'RE HOSTING DIFFERENT THINGS FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN? SO WHEN YOU GO ON TO THE FRISCO LIBRARY.COM UP AT THE TOP, THERE'S A RIBBON AND ONE OF THEM SAYS EVENTS, CLICK ON EVENTS, YOU PICK THE AUDIENCE YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, AND IT COULD BE EVERYONE OR IT COULD BE CHILDREN OR ADULTS OR WHATEVER, AND THEN DATES AND THE CALENDAR COMES UP AND YOU'LL SEE EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE PLANNED. WE HAVE SOME FUN THINGS PLANNED FOR SPRING BREAK NEXT WEEK AND FOR FAMILIES, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL ON THE WEBSITE UNDER EVENTS. THANK YOU.
OKAY, THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM NINE, WHICH IS OUR PARKS AND REC REPORT.
GOOD EVENING. I'M JOHN CHALFANT, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION.
GOT TO PLAY FOR SCHOOL REPORT FOR YOU.
THE MAIN THING I WAS GOING TO SPIFF TONIGHT IT'S GREAT TO GO AFTER THE LIBRARY.
THESE TWO NEW ART PIECES ARTWORKS THAT ARE ON DISPLAY AT THE LIBRARY.
THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS CALLED STORY LANDSCAPES.
IT'S ON THE CEILING IN THE LOBBY HAS 43 DIFFERENT LINES OF TEXT FROM 43 DIFFERENT BOOKS, AND IT HAS KIND OF A WAVE TO IT TO REPRESENT A PRAIRIE, A PRAIRIE GRASS EXCUSE ME. THE SECOND ONE IS CALLED COMMUNITY OF EXPLORERS.
AND IT'S FROM IT'S THE RAILINGS FROM THE BASE OF THE STAIRCASE UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
DOZENS OF DIFFERENT IMAGES THAT YOU CAN SEE, INCLUDING CITY HALL.
GREAT THING ABOUT BOTH OF THEM IS THAT THERE'S SO MUCH TO THEM THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THEM IN ONE VISIT.
IT WILL TAKE MULTIPLE VISITS TO EXPLORE ALL OF IT.
SO WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
JOHN. I WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE, PAIGE AND MICHELLE, FOR THE FIRST FRISCO LISTENING ROOM IS ESSENTIALLY KIND OF LIKE AN OPEN MIC NIGHT, EXCEPT IT'S NOT. IT'S PRE-PLANNED.
SO PEOPLE SIGNED UP AHEAD OF TIME.
BUT WHAT WE SAW WAS SO MANY YOUNG KIDS THAT WANTED TO PERFORM.
SO WE MAY WANT TO HAVE TO DO HAVE A JUNIOR VERSION AND THEN THE ADULT SINGER SONGWRITER VERSION.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY REALLY WANTS.
IT WAS A HIT. 24 FOLKS WERE THERE.
AND WE HAVE TWO MORE COMING UP IN THE FUTURE AND I'LL DEFINITELY RELAY THOSE COMMENTS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT'LL TAKE US TO ITEM TEN.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
PAUL NIPPLE, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES.
SO WE'VE SEEN THIS MAP AND COUNCILMAN WOODARD POINTED OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS SPOT ON TONIGHT ABOUT THE WORK AT PANTHER CREEK PARKWAY AND AND FIELDS PARKWAY.
IT CAUSES DISRUPTION ALONG THE TOLL ROAD AND THE DALLAS PARKWAY, BUT THEN IT ALSO DISPLACES A LOT OF TRAFFIC OFF TO THE SIDE STREETS, WHICH GUMS THINGS UP IN THOSE AREAS AS WELL. SO OUT OF THOSE TWO PROJECTS, I HAD A NEAT SHOT.
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE SCALE OF THIS.
THIS IS AT FIELDS PARKWAY AND THE CITY INVESTED 5050 WITH THE NTTA ON THE EXPANSION OF THIS, THE ORIGINAL THE OLD BRIDGE ABUTMENTS. AND WHAT I'M REFERRING TO THERE IS THE THE LENGTH OF THE SPAN OF THE BRIDGE.
SO WE'VE GOT THE OLD AGAINST THE NEW.
AND NOW IT'S GOING TO A TEN LANE UNDERPASS PLUS TWO U-TURNS ON EITHER END.
[00:15:07]
SO IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL CROSSING HERE OF FIELDS PARKWAY AND EXPANSION.SO THAT'S JUST A SIGNIFICANT I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD SHOT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU.
WE CERTAINLY DID IN OUR OFFICE.
I BET THAT WAS A FUN PARTY, WASN'T IT? IT WAS GREAT. SO THAT'S THE END OF CONCLUDES MY REPORT FOR TONIGHT.

AND THEN FROM THE ANIMAL ADVISORY BOARD, WE DID HAVE A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION WITH ANIMAL SERVICES AND CHIEF CHILSON TO TALK ABOUT JUST HOW FROM AN ANIMAL SERVICES PERSPECTIVE, COULD WE IMPROVE THE PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT ALSO MANAGE RESPONSIBILITIES APPROPRIATELY? AND THEN HOW COULD POTENTIALLY THE FOLLOW UPS IS GOING TO BE NOW? HOW CAN THE BOARD BEST SUPPORT THEM? BECAUSE AS WE'VE TALKED, THEY'RE NOT OVERSEEING ANIMAL SERVICES.
THEY ARE HERE TO EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE IN COLLABORATION.
AND IT IS WITH SADNESS AND GREAT SADNESS THAT I SHARE THAT OUR CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER, BETH ANN UNGER, PASSED AWAY LATE LAST WEEK AFTER A SHORT BUT VALIANT BATTLE WITH CANCER.
