HI, I'M JULIANA.

I'M THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM SUPERINTENDENT OVER AT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES.

AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GREAT PROGRAMS THAT REALLY ADDRESS THE WASTED FOODS BOTH IN OUR HOMES AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT SAVES US MONEY AND ALSO HELPS WITH PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, IT'S FRISCO, TEXAS.GOV/COMPOST AND YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT WAYS THAT YOU CAN SIGN UP TODAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. AND I THINK NOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO A SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR FRISCO BECOMING

[7. Recognition for the City of Frisco - "Music Friendly Texas Designation" (Office of the Governor's Texas Music Office, Visit Frisco, and City Council.)]

HUH? YEAH.

ARE WE GOING TO START OUR SHOW? ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? WE'LL DO THE.

WE'LL INTRODUCE YOU. OKAY.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT, SIR.

TAKE IT AWAY. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU.

HEY, EVERYBODY. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I DO THESE THINGS AND I HAVE PREPARED REMARKS, BUT I THINK WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO OFF THE CUFF AND SEE SEE WHERE THIS GOES, SO.

MY NAME IS CHIP ADAMS, AND I WORK FOR THE TEXAS MUSIC OFFICE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO.

WE ARE A DIVISION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

SO BASICALLY WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE HELP ATTRACT NEW MUSIC BUSINESSES TO OUR STATE WHILE SUPPORTING OUR EXISTING MUSIC BUSINESSES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR MUSICIANS.

WE DO THAT THROUGH A NUMBER OF WAYS.

MY WAY TO DO THAT IS THROUGH OUR MUSIC FRIENDLY COMMUNITY PROGRAM, WHICH WE'RE CERTIFYING IN FRISCO TODAY AS OUR 42ND CERTIFIED MUSIC FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS FRISCO HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK, AND I HAVE TO TIP MY HAT TO LISA AND THE ENTIRE TEAM AT VISIT FRISCO FOR ROCKING THROUGH THIS.

A LOT OF STEPS ARE INVOLVED.

YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, ANY CITY CAN SAY THAT THEY LOVE MUSIC.

WE ALL LOVE MUSIC.

I LOVE MUSIC. I'M AN OKAY MUSICIAN, BUT I'M MUCH BETTER BEHIND THE SCENES.

I'VE DONE RADIO AND RAN A LABEL AND THEN ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

BUT THIS HAS BEEN BY FAR THE MOST GRATIFYING BECAUSE I GET TO TRAVEL AROUND MEETING WITH OUR CITIES, HELPING THEM LEARN ABOUT THEIR LOCAL MUSIC INDUSTRIES, HELPING THEM FIND BETTER WAYS TO SUPPORT IT.

THOSE CITIES WHO GO THROUGH OUR CERTIFICATION PROCESS ARE THE ONES THAT BECOME CERTIFIED IN OUR PROGRAM.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EACH CITY HAS TO IDENTIFY SOMEBODY AS THEIR LIAISON, BASICALLY RUNNING YOUR LOCAL MUSIC OFFICE.

THAT'S THE KEY COMPONENT, BECAUSE WITHOUT THE RIGHT PERSON STEERING THE SHIP, THEN THIS THING GOES ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE.

EACH CITY HAS TO HOST A WORKSHOP.

AND I KNOW I MET A FEW OF YOU AT OUR WORKSHOP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND THAT'S AGAIN, TO BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER, TO LEARN, TO START COLLABORATING, TO START COMMUNICATING.

AND THAT, TO ME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS, IS BRINGING OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER AT THE CITY LEVEL YOU TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, BUT ALSO THEN FOR THE CITY TO LEARN FROM YOU, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THEIR VENUES AND MUSICIANS AND MUSIC BUSINESSES.

EACH CITY THEN ALSO HAS TO DEVELOP AN ADVISORY BOARD THAT MEETS ON A REGULAR BASIS TO GUESS WHAT, TALK ABOUT YOUR LOCAL MUSIC INDUSTRY.

EACH CITY HAS TO DEVELOP A LOCAL MUSIC INDUSTRY DATABASE THAT'S SHARED WITH US AT THE STATE.

AND ONCE THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, IT'S MORE THAN JUST A CERTIFICATE.

WE HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH EACH CITY TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN FRISCO.

WE ALSO CONNECT ALL OF OUR CITIES.

WHAT WE'VE BUILT IS A FIRST OF ITS KIND, CONNECTED NETWORK OF MUSIC CITIES.

THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

AND SO THIS WAY OUR CITIES CAN SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

ONE LITTLE NUGGET I LOVE TO MENTION THAT I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING, BUT WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT OUR OFFICE, WE ARE THE ONLY STATE IN THE NATION THAT HAS A GOVERNMENT RUN MUSIC OFFICE.

THERE'S NOT ONE IN CALIFORNIA, NOT ONE IN NEW YORK, NOT ONE IN TENNESSEE.

SO IT SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH WE AS TEXANS VALUE MUSIC, HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO US.

IT'S INGRAINED IN OUR DNA AS TEXANS.

SO IT'S OUR JOB TO SUPPORT IT AND TO HELP FIND THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUPERSTARS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING OUT OF TEXAS.

SO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A CERTIFICATE.

[00:20:01]

THANK YOU, SIR. YOU CAN JUST CHUNK THOSE.

SO WITH A CERTIFICATE WHICH IS SIGNED BY OUR DIRECTOR BRENDAN ANTHONY AND GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT OFFICIALLY CERTIFIES FRISCO AS OUR 42ND MUSIC FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.

CONGRATULATIONS, FRISCO. [APPLAUSE] JUST REAL QUICK, WANTED TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, A CITY BECOMES WHAT WE TALK ABOUT AND WE HAVE STARTED AS SPORTS CITY, USA AND WE'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB.

OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS STRONG.

OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS VERY STRONG.

BUT NOW WE ARE OPENING THE DOOR TO THE RENAISSANCE ERA IN FRISCO.

AND THIS DESIGNATION OF BEING A MUSIC FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.

I KNOW THAT MEANS A LOT TO OUR LOCAL MUSICIANS WHO HAVE BEEN IN OUR CITY FOR A VERY LONG TIME DOING WHAT YOU DO, CHANGING THE WORLD IN YOUR WAY.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE GROW.

AND IT'S GOING TO GET EVEN BIGGER AND BIGGER.

BUT THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT WORKED ON THIS TO BRAND OUR CITY IN THE ARTS NOW.

SO I JUST I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE AND MORE GROW FROM THIS.

AND REALLY, ALL OF THIS MEANS WE SEE YOU, WE VALUE YOU.

WE HEAR YOU AND YOU ARE FRISCO.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

WELL, TAMMY IS BEING HUMBLE.

SHE WAS A BIG PART OF THIS HAPPENING, AND THIS IS HER VISION AND HER LEADERSHIP.

SO. ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR TAMMY MEINERTZHAGEN.

[APPLAUSE] AND WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? WE CAN'T ACTUALLY CELEBRATE THIS DESIGNATION OF BEING A LIVE MUSIC CITY MUSIC CITY WITHOUT STARTING RIGHT HERE TONIGHT.

SO LET'S DO IT. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

APPRECIATE IT. MY NAME IS KATHY ANDERSON.

IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE.

LISA, TAMMY, CHIP, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR OUR CITY AND SPORTS USA IS GREAT, BUT WHAT WOULD SPORTS BE WITHOUT GOOD MUSIC? AND WE ALL KNOW THAT.

SO. I'LL BE PLAYING AT THE NFL DRAFT AT THE STAR ON THE 27TH.

SO WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE THAT WITH THE NFL AS WELL.

AND SO THIS SONG IS CALLED TACOS AND MARGARITAS.

IT'S IT'S ABOUT HAVING THAT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU JUST FIT WITH.

YOU GOT TO HAVE THAT. YOU BE THE TACO.

[8. Parks and Recreation Recognition of Awards - TRAPS Rodeo Winners and CAPRA Re-accreditation Awarded.]

THIS IS FRAGILE. I KNOW.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO I DEFINITELY THINK AFTER HEARING THAT SONG THAT THAT HE SHOULD BE PART OF PLAY FRISCO, WE DO PLAY MUSICALLY AND THAT TOTALLY SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WE WOULD SUPPORT.

SO TACOS AND MARGARITAS, IT IS.

SO WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED.

I'VE GOT ACTUALLY TWO PEOPLE HERE.

I'M GOING TO STEP ASIDE FOR JUST A SECOND.

ONE TO SPEAK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE TRAPS RODEO AND THE THE RECOGNITION DESERVED THERE AND THE OTHER FOR ACCREDITATION.

SO WHICHEVER THEY CHOOSE, THEY WILL SPEAK TO.

I'LL BE THE MARGARITA. I'LL GO FIRST.

HI, MAYOR COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. MY NAME IS JOANETTE CRAWFORD.

I AM THE NEWLY TITLED BUSINESS SERVICES PARTNER OVER AT PARKS AND RECREATION, PLAY FRISCO, AND WE WERE RECENTLY REACCREDITED FOR OUR SECOND TIME, SO WE WERE FIRST ACCREDITED IN 2012, REACCREDITED IN 2017 AND THEN TO 2022.

RECENTLY RECOGNIZED IN PHOENIX.

WE HAVE TO MEET 154 STANDARDS.

IT'S NOT EASY. IT IS A TEAM EFFORT AND WE WANT TO LIVE BY THAT AND THEN MEET THOSE STANDARDS BY BEING PROACTIVE IN DOCUMENTING THAT.

SO WE ARE ONLY ONE OF 26 TEXAS CITIES THAT HAVE THAT QUALIFICATION, AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING US.

DON'T DROP THE AWARD.

IT'S VERY FRAGILE. YES, I ALMOST DID IT ALREADY.

I KNOW. I KNOW. THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF IT.

AND NOW I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE EDDIE CAMACHO TO TALK ABOUT THE TRAPS RODEO.

GREAT. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT OUR MAIN RODEO COMPETITION THAT WE WE HOSTED HERE EARLIER THIS MONTH.

WE HOSTED THE STATE COMPETITION WHERE WE HAD SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THESE EVENTS.

SOME OF THE EVENTS INCLUDED THE TRUCK AND TRAILER PULLING, THE BACKPACK BLOWER COMPETITION, THE BACKHOE COMPETITION AND ZERO TURN OPERATION.

TONIGHT, WE HAVE JOAQUIN ROBLES HERE, STAFF MEMBER WHO WHO CAME IN THIRD PLACE HERE IN THE LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS CORRECT CAME IN FOURTH PLACE I'M SORRY IN THE ZERO TURN OPERATION SO RIGHT ZERO TURN OPERATION ENTAILS BEING ABLE TO OPERATE THE THE MOWER THROUGH AN OBSTACLE COURSE AND TENNIS BALLS ON THE CONES. SO YOU CAN'T HIT THOSE OR YOU I BELIEVE YOU GET DISQUALIFIED, YOU GET POINTS TAKEN AWAY.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR TIRELESSLY WORKING FOR OUR CITY 24 SEVEN.

I KNOW THIS IS A ROLE THAT RECEIVES MUCH SCRUTINY AND THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF THANKS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MY NAME IS CHARLIE WENDELL AND I'M THE FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MELODY OF HOPE.

WHAT AN EXCITING DAY FOR OUR CITY IN THE ARTS HERE IN FRISCO.

I COULDN'T THINK OF A BETTER DAY THAN THIS DAY TO SHARE SOME OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING OVER THE PAST NINE YEARS AND SPECIFICALLY LAST YEAR TO AID IN OUR CITY, GETTING OUR CERTIFICATION AS A MUSIC FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.

LAST YEAR ALONE, THANKS TO THE CITY OF FRISCO AND COUNCIL, THE FRISCO ARTS FOUNDATION GRACIOUSLY AWARDED US A GRANT OF $6,500 TO SUPPORT OUR INNOVATIVE ARTS PROGRAMING. THIS GENEROUS AWARD AFFORDED MELODY OF HOPE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW OUR PROGRAMING AND POSITIVELY IMPACT THE ARTS.

WE ARE PROUD TO SHARE THAT WE PROVIDED LIVE MUSIC FOR 110 NONPROFIT AND COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE EVENTS IN FRISCO LAST YEAR IMPACTED OVER 50,000 PEOPLE WITH THE ARTS, AND WE SAVED OUR PARTNER NONPROFITS OVER $90,000 BY BUILDING THESE HIGH QUALITY LIVE MUSIC PROGRAMS AT NO COST TO THEM.

LAST MAY, WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF FRISCO IN DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS, WE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED OUR MONTHLY MUSIC ON MAIN STREET PROJECT PRESENTED BY TUMBLEWEED TEXTILES.

MUSIC ON MAIN IS A MONTHLY WALKABLE EVENT WITH OUR ARTISTS STRATEGICALLY PLACED IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET TO ENTICE THE COMMUNITY TO NOT ONLY HAVE A SPECIFIC DATE, SPECIFIC TIME AND EVENT FOR WHICH TO EXPLORE THE HEART OF OUR CITY, BUT ALSO TO CREATE AN ECONOMICALLY IMPACTFUL EVENT THAT RIVALS OTHER TOURISM EFFORTS.

WE ARE CREATING A DOWNTOWN WHERE THE ARTS NOT ONLY THRIVE BUT ALSO BRAND OUR CITY AS ONE WHERE THE ARTS ARE ACTIVE AND ALL ENCOMPASSING.

WE BELIEVE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER WILL RECOGNIZE FRISCO, NOT ONLY AS SPORTS CITY, USA, BUT ALSO ART CITY, USA.

THIS PROJECT HAS GROWN AND BEEN EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL WITH MANY SPONSORS, INCLUDING MANY OF Y'ALL.

BUT WHAT WE ARE MOST PROUD OF IS THE ADDITION TO OVER 20 DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS THAT ARE WILLING TO FULLY FUND THEIR ARTISTS FOR THIS PROJECT.

THESE MERCHANTS HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FOOT TRAFFIC AND REVENUE AND FIRSTHAND HOW THE ARTS CAN POWER OUR ECONOMY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, MELODY OF HOPE CONTINUES TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ECONOMIC IMPACT IN FRISCO.

THROUGH ALL PROGRAMING, WE AIM TO ENCOURAGE STRONG RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CITIZENS, OUR CITY COUNCIL, TOURIST BUSINESSES, MUSICIANS, CHURCHES AND NONPROFITS. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS THAT HAVE GOTTEN US TO THIS POINT OF GETTING OUR CERTIFICATION.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PAST YEARS OF ART SUPPORT.

I CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU ALL AS YOU LEAD OUR GREAT CITY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT HAS ALREADY BECOME A FAVORITE SPOT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS I LIKE THE MODERN STUDY AREAS.

AND MY BROTHER ABSOLUTELY LOVES REXY.

BUT WHAT'S IMPRESSIVE TO ME IS THE EXTERIOR DESIGN OF THE BUILDING.

MANY MAY NOT REALIZE IT, BUT IT'S VERY BIRD FRIENDLY, WITH MINIMAL REFLECTIVE GLASSES AND TEXTURED STRUCTURES, WHICH ARE GREAT FOR PREVENTING BIRD COLLISIONS.

IT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW BUILDINGS CAN BE BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE.

ON THE TOPIC OF BEING BIRD FRIENDLY, I'M HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS AN IMPORTANT INITIATIVE THAT I BELIEVE OUR CITY SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN.

IT'S CALLED LIGHTS OUT NIGHTS, AND IT HELPS PROTECT MIGRATORY BIRDS DURING PEAK SPRING MIGRATION, WHICH IS APRIL 20TH THROUGH MAY 12TH.

TO START OFF, SPRING MIGRATION IS AN INCREDIBLE NATURAL EVENT WHERE 2 BILLION BIRDS TRAVEL THROUGH TEXAS FROM SOUTH AMERICA ALL THE WAY UP TO NORTHERN STATES AND CANADA. BRIGHT CITY LIGHTS CAN DISORIENT THESE MIGRATORY BIRDS, CAUSING THEM TO FLY OFF COURSE AND PUTTING THEM AT RISK FROM COLLISIONS WITH BUILDINGS FROM DEATH.

LIGHTS OUT NIGHTS IS A STATE INITIATIVE COORDINATED BY TEXAN BY NATURE AUDUBON, TEXAS, THE PEROT MUSEUM AND THE CORNELL LAB OF ORNITHOLOGY.

TO PARTICIPATE, ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TURN OFF OR DIM NONESSENTIAL LIGHTS FROM 11 P.M.

TO 6 A.M. FOR THREE WEEKS DURING PEAK MIGRATION TIMES.

THIS TASK DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY EXTRA SPENDING OF MONEY.

IT'S ALSO A SIMPLE THING TO DO JUST TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS.

BY COMPLETING THIS, WE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE BIRDS ABILITY TO NAVIGATE AND COMPLETE THEIR JOURNEY.

MANY CITIES IN TEXAS, INCLUDING BIG CITIES AND SUBURBS LIKE US, HAVE ALREADY JOINED THIS EFFORT, AND IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE DO TOO.

AS FRISCO IS LOCATED IN A PRIME AREA FOR BIRD MIGRATION, WE ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT BIRD MIGRATION ROUTES AND HAVE MANY AREAS THAT SERVE AS IMPORTANT VESTING HABITATS FOR BIRDS.

THE BORTLE SCALE IS A NIGHTTIME BRIGHTNESS SCALE THAT RANGES FROM CLASS ONE AS DARK AS SKY TO CLASS NINE AS THE BRIGHTEST SKY.

AND CURRENTLY FRISCO IS A CLASS EIGHT.

TO COMBAT THIS LAST FALL, I AND I AND MY CLUB PASSED OUT FLIERS AND SPOKE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF TURNING OFF LIGHTS.

AND WE REACHED ABOUT 100 HOUSES.

WE SAW GREAT SUCCESS AS MOST OF THE HOUSES TURNED THEIR LIGHTS OFF.

AND WE ARE HOPING TO IMPLEMENT THIS ACROSS THE CITY BY PARTICIPATING IN LIGHTS OUT NIGHTS.

WE CAN HELP REDUCE LIGHT POLLUTION AND PROVIDE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR MIGRATING BIRDS.

I'M REACHING OUT TODAY TO REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR LIGHTS OUT PROGRAM IN OUR CITY.

AS A REMINDER, WE ONLY HAVE TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS FOR THREE WEEKS DURING NIGHTTIME, WHICH COSTS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO.

THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT FRISCO COUNCIL CAN DO TO SUPPORT THE MIGRATORY BIRDS IN TEXAS.

FIRST, A PROCLAMATION CAN BE MADE RECOGNIZING TO GO LIGHTS OUT NIGHTS FROM APRIL 20TH TO MAY 12TH.

THIS WILL ENCOURAGE ALL BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS AND BUILDING MANAGERS TO TURN OFF NON-ESSENTIAL EXTERIOR LIGHTING FROM 11 P.M.

TO 6 A.M.

FOR THREE WEEKS OF MIGRATION IN OR ONLY FOR FISCAL MANAGED FACILITIES WE CAN DIM OR TURN OFF THE LIGHTS DURING THIS TIME.

I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER MY REQUEST AND TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS WE ARE QUICKLY APPROACHING THE PEAK MIGRATION PERIOD, MANY OF THE MAJOR CITIES AND COUNTIES ACROSS TEXAS HAVE SEEN THE BENEFITS OF A LIGHTS OUT NIGHTS PROGRAM, AND I'M READY TO PROVIDE MORE DETAILS IF NEEDED.

THROUGH THESE SIMPLE CHANGES, YOUR SUPPORT WILL MAKE SURE MILLIONS OF BIRDS CAN COMPLETE THEIR SPRINGTIME MIGRATION BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, SMALL CHANGES CAN BRING BIG DIFFERENCES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. WELL DONE, THANK YOU.

DONNA SCHMIDTLER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL DONNA SCHMIDTLER 7037 WHITE ROCK COURT, FRISCO, TEXAS.

[00:45:02]

BUT LAST NIGHT WAS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST ROUGHRIDERS BALL GAME.

SO THEY ARE CELEBRATING THEIR 20TH ANNIVERSARY.

AND WE HAVE IN THE HERITAGE MUSEUM IN THE PINK GALLERY, THE STORY OF THE FRISCO ROUGHRIDERS.

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

ITEM NINE IS OUR PARKS AND REC REPORT.

[9. Parks and Recreation report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.]

SHANNON COATES, PLAY FRISCO.

I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES.

OKAY. I WAS GOING TO SAY YOU SAID TECHNOLOGY, SO I WASN'T SURE IF THEY WERE REALLY THERE OR NOT.

SO OF COURSE WE ALWAYS START WITH HAVE YOU PLAY TODAY? AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS OVERWHELMINGLY YES.

WE'VE HAD LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES EVEN DURING THIS MEETING, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL.

JUST A FEW QUICK UPDATES, SO ROLL WITH THE COUNCIL.

THE FIRST ONE IS ON APRIL 8TH.

IT'S 7.9 MILES.

AND IS IT TEJAS TRAIL STARTING AT BACKUS PARK? CORRECT. CORRECT. THANK YOU.

I WANTED TO GO WITH THAT PRONUNCIATION BECAUSE I HEAR IT DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY, BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING.

I'VE HEARD TEJAS TAKES TEJAS.

IS THAT THE. OKAY, THAT'S OKAY.

THE SENTIMENT OF THE ROOM WE'LL GO WITH TEJAS TEJAS TRAIL SO BUT WE'RE GOING TO START IT BACK AS PARKS OF 7.9 MILES PLEASE COME OUT AND ROLL.

IT'S ALWAYS AN AMAZING EVENT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL GET TO SEE OUT THERE, YOU'LL SEE A PICTURE OF HERE IN A SECOND.

WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL NEW SIGNAGE THAT'S OUT THERE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.

WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL SPEAKER, A SPEAKER UP HERE SPEAKING BEAUTIFULLY ABOUT IN PLEIN AIR.

SO PLEASE DO COME OUT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND HOPE THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL FIND ART THAT THEY LIKE AND WILL PURCHASE.

WE ALSO HAVE TO IF YOU'RE MORE ON THE NATURAL SIDE OF PLAY, NATURALLY WE HAVE A BIOBLITZ COMING UP AT GRAND PARK AND ALSO A MOTHING EVENT.

SO THIS IS NOT AN EVENT WHERE YOU'RE MAKING SOMETHING.

IT'S AN EVENT WHERE YOU'RE ENCOURAGING MOTHS TO COME SO THAT WE CAN KEEP TRACK OF THE SPECIES THAT ARE HERE.

SO IF THAT SOUNDS EXCITING, COME JOIN US AND FIND SOME MOTHS.

WE HELD A COMMUNITY MEETING RECENTLY ABOUT DAVIS PARK, THE CLOSEST CROSSROADS FOR THIS, OUR RESEARCH ROAD IN EL DORADO.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING PARK, THE WAY THAT IT'S TUCKED IN AND WILL BE A MAJOR CONNECTION FOR OUR HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL SYSTEM.

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME MORE DOG FACILITIES PROGRAMED INTO THIS.

SO IF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE WAYS TO GO OUT AND PLAY WITH THEIR DOGS, WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

WE ALSO HAVE LAUNCHED A PARK PROJECT DASHBOARD.

SO THIS IS A REALLY NEAT, OUTWARDLY FACING DASHBOARD THAT THE COMMUNITY OR ANY OF YOU CAN ACCESS.

IT SHOWS HOW MANY CAPITAL PROJECTS WE HAVE UNDERWAY IN PARKS.

YOU'RE ABLE TO CLICK ON SPECIFIC LINKS OR PARKS AND FIND MORE INFORMATION.

AS I SAID, WE'VE GOT NEW TRAILS OUT AT TEJAS TRAIL, SO PLEASE DO GO OUT ON THE RIDE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THESE FIRST HAND.

VERY PROUD OF THE STAFF.

THE EDUCATION TEAM ACTUALLY WROTE THEM.

THE MARKETING TEAM LED THE CREATION.

SO THAT WAS A BIG WIN.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE ARE LEAN PRACTITIONERS ACROSS THE CITY.

OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE 100% OF OUR DEPARTMENT EVENTUALLY CERTIFIED AS BRONZE LEAN PRACTITIONERS, AND THIS IS OUR LATEST GROUP THAT CAME THROUGH.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME TODAY.

SO WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? NOT A QUESTION, BUT I KNOW IT WAS AFTER YOUR REPORT WAS CREATED, BUT I DID WANT TO SAY YOUR TEAM DID A PHENOMENAL JOB AT THE POP UP AT THE DOG PARK THIS WEEKEND.

THAT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL SURPRISE FOR THE DOG PARK GOERS TO GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN WITH THEIR DOG AND COFFEE.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN AND EVERYBODY REALLY ENJOYED IT.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT SURPRISE.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT.

YES. APPARENTLY THE PUPPUCCINOS WERE A HUGE HIT, SO WE'LL HAVE TO WORK ON PLANNING THE NEXT EVENT.

THE PICTURES ARE GREAT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.

DEFINITELY LOOK AT THE PLAY FRISCO SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE.

WE'LL BE SURE TO STOP ALONG THE TEJAS TRAIL TO TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE SIGNS BECAUSE GLAD TO SEE THOSE COME BACK.

THANK YOU.

[00:50:01]

IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE UNLESS YOU'VE ACTUALLY BEEN THERE.

AND SO WE ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES JUST TO STOP BY AND EXPLORE THAT ROOM.

IT'S A GREAT MERGER OF TECHNOLOGY AND HISTORY AND SO JUST A GREAT JOB WITH CREATING THAT EXPERIENCE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT FROM ALL OF YOU.

AND LAST THING, SHANNON, I KNOW WE HAD AN EXCITING MEETING THIS AFTERNOON TALKING ABOUT GRAND PARK AND YOU GAVE US AN UPDATE, MAYBE JUST A QUICK KIND OF OVERVIEW OF NEXT STEPS.

SO NEXT STEPS FOR GRAND PARK.

WOO! YAY! ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT ON CONSENT, WHICH ACTUALLY SHOULD HAPPEN HERE IN JUST A MINUTE.

WE HAVE SELECTED A FIRM CALLED IDEO I-D-E-O, WHO SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF.

THEY ARE A NONTRADITIONAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT FIRM MEANING THEY'RE NOT.

THEY'RE VERY WELL KNOWN FOR BEING ON THE EDGE OF DESIGN AND REALLY WORKING THROUGH USER EXPERIENCE.

WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED TO HAVE THEM COME IN.

THEIR OFFICIAL WORK WILL KICK OFF ON MAY 1ST, SO WE'LL USE THE MONTH OF APRIL TO REALLY GET PEOPLE ACCUSTOMED AND ACCLIMATED TO WHO IDEO IS AND WHAT THAT PROCESS WILL LOOK LIKE. WE'RE EXCITED TO GET STARTED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY, THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM TEN, OUR LIBRARY REPORT.

[10. Library Report on monthly statistics and activities.]

MY NAME IS SHELLEY HOLLY.

I'M THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR.

YOU HAVE THE REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU.

IT'S BEEN A BUSY MONTH AT THE LIBRARY.

YOU MAY BE AWARE WE HAVE OUR END OF MONTH NUMBERS, AND THE LIBRARY HAD 102,000 VISITORS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH. SO SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED WHEN YOU WERE LOOKING FOR PARKING, WHICH HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE.

BUT WE ALSO HAD 108,000 RETURNS AND 137 I'M SORRY, 132,000 CHECKOUTS. SOME PARTS OF OUR COLLECTION ARE DECIMATED AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON BUILDING THOSE UP BECAUSE THERE'S LITERALLY NOTHING LEFT ON THE SHELVES IN SOME AREAS.

BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY THE PUBLIC AND WE FEEL VERY PROUD TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE IN FRISCO. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

SO THE 102,000 YOU SAID THAT WAS SINCE OPENING DAY.

YEAH. SO THAT'S MARCH 4TH THROUGH MARCH 31ST.

YES. AND NOW BEFORE THAT, OUR BUSIEST MARCH EVER WAS MARCH OF 2019, AND THAT WAS 59,000 PEOPLE.

SO THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF SCALE.

SO IN DOING THAT, YEAH, THANK YOU.

WELL, THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THIS WAS DONE MIDWAY THROUGH THE MONTH, SO IT ONLY GIVES YOU THE TRAFFIC BETWEEN THE FOURTH AND THE 19TH.

SO THAT 102 IS THROUGH THE WHOLE MONTH.

BUT YOU CAN SEE 2019 AT 59.8.

SO THAT WAS OUR BUSIEST MARCH PRIOR TO THAT.

SO I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT OUR NUMBERS FROM WHEN WE MOVED FROM THE MCKINNEY LOCATION TO HERE BECAUSE WE SAW THAT SAME KIND OF INCREASE.

IT NEVER DID DIE DOWN.

THAT IS, IN FACT, IT CONTINUED TO INCREASE BY ABOUT 10% FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS AFTER THAT.

SO IF PAST IS PROLOG, THAT MAY BE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WE JUST WANTED TO REVIEW SOME OF THE GREAT SPACES.

SO WE'VE GOT THE ART SPACE.

AS YOU WALK IN, WE'VE GOT THE POND FOR TODDLERS AND BABIES, WE'VE GOT THE SOCIAL STAIRS.

THE SOCIAL STAIRS ARE NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRETCH YOUR LEGS AND RACE UP AND DOWN THEM.

THEY ARE INSTEAD INTENDED TO BE SEATING FOR PROGRAMS, VISITING WITH OTHER PEOPLE, CHARGING YOUR DEVICES, THAT KIND OF THING.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT OUR LIT BOOKSHELVES AND A TEEN AREA.

SO WHERE YOU SEE THE STRIPES, THE HORIZONTAL STRIPES ON THE WALL, THAT'S THE AREA FOR TEENS.

OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE KIDS CLUB, WHICH IS FOR ELEMENTARY AGED KIDS.

AND THEN WE HAVE TINY TOWN, WHICH IS FOR 0 TO 5 YEAR OLDS.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, REXY, WHO SEEMS TO BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

AND SHE'S GREAT.

SHE HAS DRAWN A LOT OF INTEREST AND SHE FITS IN THE SPACE PERFECTLY.

SO WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE HER.

THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANTED TO SHOW REAL QUICKLY, FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AT THE LIBRARY YET, WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU COME AND VISIT US.

PLEASE BE PATIENT ABOUT PARKING.

IT IS A LITTLE CHALLENGING.

COMING EARLIER IN THE DAY IS IS BETTER ON THE WEEKENDS AND LATER IN THE DAY IS BETTER DURING THE WEEK BECAUSE OF HOW OUR

[00:55:04]

I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WELL, I HAVE BECOME A REGULAR NOW AT THE LIBRARY AND IN FACT TWICE THERE THIS WEEK, JUST NOW.

AND I WAS GOING TO REPORT TO COUNCIL THAT WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE A PARKING GARAGE IN THE NEAR TERM DISCUSSION, BUT THAT'S A GOOD SIGN TO SEE JUST THE GREAT USAGE OF THE LIBRARY.

SO COUNCIL, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? NO I WAS GOING TO SAY I'VE ONLY SAW THE LIBRARY HERE WHEN I WAS HERE ON TUESDAYS, AND NOW I'M CHECKING OUT THINGS ELECTRONICALLY TOO.

SO PERFECT.

I'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ONLINE WHO USES THE LIBRARY? BUT IN ONE MONTH, 102,000 PEOPLE.

SO YEAH, THAT'D BE ABOUT HALF THE POPULATION.

YEAH. IT'S THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.

YEAH. YOU ALL HAVE DONE A GREAT WORK.

YEAH. I FEEL LIKE FRISCO HAS INVESTED WELL, THAT 62 MILLION IS BRINGING IN RETURNS, AND WE HAVE THE KIND OF COMMUNITY THAT IS VERY INTERESTED IN LIBRARY SERVICES AND CONTINUE TO USE THEM.

SO THANK YOU.

KELLY, ANY TALK OF EXTENDING HOURS OR CHANGING HOURS JUST BECAUSE OF DEMAND? WE ADDED AN HOUR WITH OUR CURRENT STAFFING LEVELS.

WE DID ADD ONE HOUR.

SO ON SATURDAYS WE OPEN AT NINE INSTEAD OF TEN.

BUT RIGHT NOW, BASED ON STAFFING LEVELS, WE ARE OPEN 72 HOURS A WEEK, I BELIEVE 9 TO 9, MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 9 TO 6, AND THEN SUNDAYS, THE AFTERNOONS, 1 TO 6.

AS WE LOOK AT WHAT WE'LL DO TO DETERMINE ARE WE OPEN THE OPTIMAL NUMBER OF HOURS AND THE OPTIMAL TIMES IS WE'LL DO A HEAT TRAFFIC STUDY TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, WHEN ARE OUR BUSIEST TIMES, WHEN OUR LIGHTEST TIMES DO WE WANT TO SHIFT SOME OF OUR HOURS AWAY FROM LIGHT TIMES TO EXTENDING AROUND THE BUSY TIMES? BUT THINGS WILL NEED TO SETTLE IN A LITTLE BIT BEFORE WE FEEL LIKE WE'D HAVE GOOD DATA.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT'LL TAKE US TO ITEM 11 OR ENGINEERING SERVICES MONTHLY REPORT.

[11. Engineering Services Monthly Report on planning, design, and construction of roadways, traffic control, water utilities, parks, and trails.]

PAUL KNIPPEL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES.

THE COUNCIL, ONE OF THE TOP TEN COUNCIL PRIORITIES WAS ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND WITH THAT, TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT.

AND SO WE KNOW THAT MAY IS GOING TO BE A BIG MONTH.

AND SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF QUICK NOTES ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT, WE HAVE MANY EVENTS EVERY YEAR.

IT'S A COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN ENGINEERING, PUBLIC WORKS, FIRE, PD.

WE DEVELOP TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS, WHICH IS ALL THE STUFF THAT WE PUT OUT AND THE ROAD CLOSURES AND SUCH.

AND THEN THERE'S LIVE EVENT MONITORING THAT GOES ON BOTH ON THE GROUND AND THEN REMOTELY THROUGH OUR CAMERA SYSTEM, THROUGH OUR SAFER SYSTEM, THROUGH WAZE. WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH WAZE AND THEN OTHER EVENTS, SOME OF THE EVENTS, LOCATIONS AT TOYOTA STADIUM AND THE FORD CENTER WORK MORE DIRECTLY WITH FIRE AND POLICE AND TRANSPORTATION, AND THEY COORDINATE ON A ROUTINE BASIS WITH SOME OF THOSE MAY IN EARLY JUNE.

HERE'S JUST KIND OF A RUNDOWN OF SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE.

WE'VE GOT FOR FC DALLAS HOME GAMES.

AND TWO OF THOSE WILL BE SIMULTANEOUS WITH EVENTS GOING ON AT THE FORD CENTER.

WE'VE GOT 15 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS BETWEEN FRISCO, PROSPER AND PLANO, THREE EVENTS DOWNTOWN ON ONE DAY WE HAVE AND THEN TWO NEW MAJOR EVENTS, THE SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP AND THEN THE AMERICAN COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS.

AND OUR STAFF JUST REALLY ENCOURAGES THE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO UTILIZE WAYS JUST EVEN FOR ERRAND RUNNING AROUND TOWN.

WE'RE WE'RE VERY ACTIVE WITH THAT.

WE PUT IN PLAN CLOSURES AND THEN ALSO UNPLANNED CLOSURES, AN ACCIDENT OR A DISRUPTION ON THE ROADWAY.

THE DISPATCHERS WILL PUT IN THE ROAD CLOSURES AND IT AUTOMATICALLY GETS FED INTO WAZE.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO REPORT SOMETHING.

IT'S ALREADY IN THERE. SO PLEASE USE WAZE.

AND THIS IS A VISUAL OF KIND OF THE SPREAD AND YOU CAN SORT OF SEE THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.

THIS IS IN THE REPORT THAT'S IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO IT SOMETIME.

BUT. THAT'S OUR REPORT.

COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOVE US TO ITEM 12.

[12. Public Works Monthly Report on water production, service requests, and storm water updates.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY INFORMATION IS IN THE PACKET.

ONE THING I DID WANT TO NOTE IS THE 28 DAY CONVERSION BACK TO CHLORAMINES STARTED ON MONDAY, SO NORTH TEXAS WILL BE STARTING THAT.

HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK THEY'LL BE CONVERTED BACK.

[01:00:03]

IF THEY HAVE, THAT SHOULD DISSIPATE OVER THE NEXT WEEK.

SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW WE HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS, BUT MOST PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HERE AROUND FOR A WHILE ARE LIKE, YEAH, THAT'S NORMAL.

JUST GIVE IT A FEW WEEKS. IT'LL GO BACK.

SO VERY GOOD.

I WAS GOING TO SAY, MOST PEOPLE TOOK CARE OF IT FOR US.

VERY GOOD. IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN A FEW YEARS THAT I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN CITIZENS ANSWERING OTHER CITIZENS IN THAT REGARD.

SO THE EDUCATION EVERY YEAR SEEMS TO BE HELPING.

WELL, KEEP THAT UP. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[13. Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.]

ANY UPDATES COUNCIL? LET'S SEE, FRISCO VFW POST 8273 HOSTED THE VIETNAM VETERANS WELCOME HOME CEREMONY IN FRISCO ON MARCH 29TH.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL RICHARD CAREY WAS THE GUEST SPEAKER.

HE COMMANDED THE EVACUATION OF SAIGON IN APRIL OF 1975 AND IS CREDITED WITH RESCUING OVER 100,000 VIETNAMESE REFUGEES.

THE MAYOR'S SOCIAL IS APRIL 25TH AT FRISCO RAILYARD.

THE TIME WILL BE DETERMINED AND WE WILL HAVE THE WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA EXHIBIT AT THE NEW LIBRARY ON MAY 25TH, AND WE'LL GET THOSE TIMES OUT AS WELL.

I THINK WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE DISPLAY IN THE LIBRARY A COUPLE OF DAYS AHEAD OF TIME AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

IT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY A NEW EXHIBIT AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT HAVING IT HERE IN FRISCO.

OKAY. THANK YOU, JOHN. ANY OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES? WE HAVE HAD NOT ONE, BUT TWO LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS SINCE THE LAST TIME WE MET TOGETHER.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, OUR STATE LEGISLATORS ARE MEETING RIGHT NOW THAT DECIDE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT BILLS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE CITY.

A COUPLE THAT ARE WE'RE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY AND WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR LEGISLATORS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS MOST AS BENEFICIAL AS POSSIBLE FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO.

ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE WE WORK WITH OUR LEGISLATORS IS GETTING FUNDING FOR THE CLEANUP OF THE EXIDE PROPERTY.

THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG ONES THAT WE'RE TALKING TO THEM ABOUT.

SO IF YOU THINK THAT THEY SHOULD HELP YOU AND HELP GET US FUNDING TO DO THAT CLEANUP, PLEASE WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU SUPPORT FUNDING TO HELP CLEAN UP THE EXIDE PROPERTY.

PUREFOY. ANY OTHER UPDATES? OKAY. THAT'LL MOVE US INTO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION.

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

ITEMS 14 THROUGH 32.

FOR CONSIDERATION, I WOULD LIKE TO PULL ITEM 25 BILL TO PULL 25 SECOND SECOND BY JOHN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THE REMAINING ITEMS. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS 14 TO 24 AND ITEMS 26 TO 32.

JOHN, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU JUST PROCEDURALLY.

SO IF YOU ALL COULD BEAR WITH ME BECAUSE I'M STILL CONFUSED.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE IT STRAIGHT EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO THE CALL FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING IS ON THE SUP, WHICH RELATES TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A GATED COMMUNITY.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT, THERE'S THE PD, WHICH IS ALL OF THE ZONING AND THE LAYOUT.

SO IF WE CALL FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE SUP, WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS? WHO DO WE HEAR THAT? AND THEN PLANNING AND ZONING IS GOING TO DEAL WITH THE CHANGES TO THE TO THE PD OR ARE THEY HEARING BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME? WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? YEAH, IT'S NOT A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S AN SUP, SUP WAS APPROVED FOR THE PROPERTY FOR A GATED SUBDIVISION, AS YOU NOTED.

AND WHEN THIS CASE ORIGINALLY CAME FORWARD, STAFF HAD RECOMMENDED DENIAL.

COUNCIL ULTIMATELY APPROVED THE REQUEST, BUT THEY HAD A LIST OF CONDITIONS IN THAT, SUCH AS INCLUDING THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL BEING OPEN ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE, AS WELL AS MAKING CONNECTIONS.

AND IN THE DISCUSSIONS WITH ART DICKERSON.

WITH THE KINGSWOOD ASSOCIATION, HE HAS ASKED FOR POSSIBLE CHANGES.

ALL THIS DOES TONIGHT IS TO TRIGGER THE BEGINNING OF A ZONING CASE.

AND JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ZONING CASES, THEY'LL GET A NUMBER AND THEN IT'LL BE REVIEWED, STAFF WILL, AND THAT WILL ALSO INCLUDE PARKS.

[01:05:05]

OKAY, SO P AND Z WILL REVIEW..

YES. THE EXPANSION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE TRAIL CONNECTIVITY.

THEY'RE GOING TO REVIEW EVERYTHING AND THEN IT'S COMING TO US.

WE'RE NOT WE AS A COUNCIL AREN'T LOOKING AT A PIECE OF THIS AND THEN P AND Z LOOKING AT ANOTHER PIECE.

THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING, NO BE THE WHOLE THING.

AND PER THE ZONING ORDINANCE, ONLY THREE ENTITIES CAN INITIATE A ZONING CHANGE.

THAT'S THE PROPERTY OWNER, THAT'S THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL.

SINCE THEY APPEARED AT CITY COUNCIL REQUESTING THIS, THIS IS WHY I HAVE IT ON BEFORE CITY COUNCIL.

OKAY, PERFECT. I UNDERSTAND NOW.

THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY.

I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 25.

MOTION BY BILL. SECOND BY JOHN.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES.

SIX ZERO. THAT MOVES TO OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA.

THESE ITEMS MAY LEGALLY REQUIRE COUNCIL ACTION, BUT BY COUNCIL POLICY SHOULD BE THE CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

Public Hearing: A request for a Specific Use Permit for a Mini-Warehouse/Self-Storage facility on one lot on 6.3± acres on the east side of FM 423, 330± feet south of Old Newman Road ("Property"), and to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended) and to consider and act to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Commercial-1 with a Specific Use Permit (S-171) for a Self-Storage Facility. Neighborhood #42. Zoning Case No. SUP22-0002. Applicant: Simply Storage Stonebrook, LLC. (Development Services/SP)]

A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A MINI WAREHOUSE SELF STORAGE FACILITY ON ONE LOT ON 6.3 ACRES ON THE EAST SIDE OF FM 423, 330FT SOUTH OF OLD NEWMAN ROAD AND TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 AS AMENDED, AND TO CONSIDER AN ACT TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

ZONED COMMERCIAL ONE WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, S 171 FOR A SELF STORAGE FACILITY.

NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 42 ZONING CASE NUMBER SUP 22-0002 APPLICANT SIMPLY STORAGE STONEBROOK LLC.

YES. CURRENTLY THERE'S A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ON THE PROPERTY, AND WITHIN THAT SHOP IS AN EXHIBIT THAT SHOWS THE LAYOUT OF THE PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO AMEND THAT, THEREFORE BRINGING FORWARD A REPEAL AND REPLACE OF AN SUP.

THERE'S CURRENTLY THIS THIN BUILDING UP AT THE TOP OF THE PROPERTY, ROUGHLY ABOUT 5000FT².

THEY'RE PROPOSING TO TEAR THAT DOWN AND REPLACE IT WITH A LARGER BUILDING OF AROUND ABOUT 64,000FT².

THERE'S SOME RENDERINGS TO BE ADOPTED.

IT'S FOLLOWING THE SAME PATH THAT ON THE BUILDINGS, ON THE PROPERTY.

SO THIS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

COMMISSIONER MERRILL RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THIS.

SO P AND Z IS RECOMMENDING THIS FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS ATTACHED.

COUNCIL THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY JOHN SECOND.

SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE MOVE TO CLOSE BY.

SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELINA ON FAVOR.

THAT MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

COUNCIL WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? JUST A COMMENT.

I'M NOT REALLY BEEN A FAN OF MINI STORAGE OVER THE YEARS UNLESS IT'S TUCKED BACK AND AWAY FROM THINGS.

THIS ONE FITS THAT DESCRIPTION, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE INCREASING THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, GIVEN THE RESIDENTS AROUND IT, FITS WITH THE AREA.

SO UNFORTUNATELY, I'M I'M A NON SUPPORTER OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

THAT WAS MY ONLY CONCERN AND QUESTION AS WELL.

DOES THE INCREASED HEIGHT IS HOW IS THAT GOING TO IMPACT THOSE 4 OR 5 HOMES RIGHT BEHIND IT, VISIBILITY INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, INTO THEIR HOUSES, LIGHTS? I MEAN, I KNOW I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT NOISE AT A STORAGE UNIT, HOPEFULLY, BUT WELL THOUGHT REGARDING THE LIGHTS, LIGHT POLES, ANYTIME THEY'RE WITHIN 100FT OF THE PROPERTY, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE, THEY'RE LIMITED HEIGHT OF 20FT.

THEY HAVE TO BE FULLY SHIELDED.

THERE'LL BE SCREENING WALL THERE AND LIGHT OVER SPILLAGE IS LIMITED TO A QUARTER FOOT CANDLE.

SO LIGHTING IS GOING TO BE MUCH OF A CONCERN.

AND THEY'RE STAYING WITHIN THE HEIGHT.

YES, THEY'RE INCREASING THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, BUT THEY'RE NOT EXCEEDING WHAT'S PERMITTED BY THE BASE ZONING.

BUT IT'S JUST A TWO STORY BUILDING, CORRECT? THAT'S WHAT I'M READING. OKAY.

TWO STORIES. IS THAT IS THAT ACCURATE, THOUGH? LIKE WHEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, I'M LIKE, WHAT? DID I MISS SOMETHING? IT SAYS THAT IT'S TWO STORIES.

IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE TWO STORIES. IT SAYS TWO STORIES AND MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 40FT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 34.

[01:10:01]

SECOND BY ANGELIA.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED. NAY.

MOTION PASSES, FIVE ONE.

THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 35, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

YES, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ON THIS ONE IS STRAIGHTFORWARD.

WHY THEY'RE REQUESTED TO DO IS TO REMOVE THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING ALCOHOL.

WHEN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT REQUEST WAS APPROVED FOR THIS, WE HAD THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND DURING THE PANDEMIC, THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO REMOVE THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS.

SO THEY WANT TO BE TREATED.
