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

AND THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT.

CITIZEN INPUT TODAY WE'VE GOT A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS AND A FEW FOLKS TONIGHT.

MAYOR OUR FIRST IS HILLIS DAVIS.

MISTER DAVIS, IF YOU CAN COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

GREETINGS, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS HILLIS DAVIS AND I LIVE IN FRISCO.

AND JOINING ME TONIGHT ARE JAMES TALLEY AND AINSWORTH COMBS.

AND I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT AN EVENT THAT WE'RE HOSTING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SO GREETINGS, MAYOR CHENEY COUNCILMAN AND WOMEN GUESTS IN THE CHAMBER AND ANYONE WATCHING ON TV.

AS I MENTIONED, MY NAME IS HILLIS DAVIS AND I'M ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE SOUL PATROL, AND WE'RE A CYCLING COMMUNITY BASED IN FRISCO, TEXAS.

AS I MENTIONED TO YOU, I INTRODUCED JOINING ME TODAY IS JAMES TALLEY AND ALSO AINSWORTH.

AND I BROUGHT AINSWORTH UP HERE BECAUSE HE'S THE PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF AN ORGANIZATION CALLED MAJOR TAYLOR.

AND MAJOR TAYLOR WAS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL CYCLIST.

EVEN BY MODERN CYCLING STANDARDS.

TODAY, TAYLOR WOULD BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN CYCLISTS THAT EVER LIVED.

AND HE RUNS A GREAT CYCLING GROUP IN THE COMMUNITY AND DOES SOME AMAZING THINGS AS WELL.

BUT THE REASON I'M HERE, WE LIKE TO INVITE YOU GUYS TO JOIN US JUNE 17TH AS WE KICK OFF OUR FOURTH ANNUAL BICYCLE RALLY.

THE EVENT WILL BE HELD AT KUYKENDAHL STADIUM.

THAT'S OUR BASE CAMP AND IT'S LOCATED AT 6950 STADIUM LANE, FRISCO, TEXAS, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF HISTORIC DOWNTOWN FRISCO.

WE HAVE ROUTES FOR BEGINNERS TO THE MORE EXPERIENCED ENDURANCE RIDERS AND WHEELS DOWN AT 7:30.

THIS IS OUR FOURTH YEAR AND IT'S GOING TO BE BETTER THAN EVER AS WE SUPPORT AND PROMOTE SMALL BUSINESSES.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MORE THAN 25 SMALL BUSINESSES REGISTERED.

WE ALSO ARE INTERESTED IN BUILDING VERY, VERY IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR FRISCO POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

YOU CAN COME OUT AND ENJOY SOME AMAZING FOOD.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN WE RIDE AFTER OUR RIDES, WE ALWAYS JAM TO OLD SCHOOL R&B.

THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT, SO PLEASE, PLEASE COME OUT AND SUPPORT US.

JOIN IN ON THE FORUM AS WE CELEBRATE FRISCO AND SHOWCASE EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT OUR AMAZING CITY.

AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HOST THIS EVENT.

LAST YEAR WE HAD MORE THAN 344 CYCLISTS AND WE PROBABLY HAD ANOTHER 200 FOLKS THAT CAME OUT, 2 TO 300 FOLKS THAT CAME OUT AND JUST WERE JUST THERE IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS YEAR, OUR CURRENT FORECAST IS RUNNING CLOSE TO 400, MAYBE 450, AND WE EXPECT EVEN MORE PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY TO COME OUT.

AND I THINK THE THING THAT THE ICING ON THE CAKE IS LAST YEAR WE RAISED ABOUT $10,000 FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED IN PURSUING THEIR THEIR EDUCATION AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

AND WE AWARDED SEVERAL SCHOLARSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE FRISCO COMMUNITY.

AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT.

AND WE PLAN TO DO THE SAME IF WE CAN.

WE WANT TO DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT AND WE'RE ON TRACK TO DO THAT.

SO THANK YOU.

YOU GUYS ARE ALL INVITED AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH [APPLAUSE]. CARMEN SHACKMAN.

MISS SHACKMAN, IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

MY NAME IS CARMEN SHACKMAN AND I LIVE ON GARRISON DRIVE IN FRISCO.

75033. I SENT YOU ALL AN EMAIL YESTERDAY, BUT I WANTED TO ALSO SPEAK TO YOU IN PERSON.

AND SO THIS IS WHAT I WROTE.

DEAR MAYOR CHENEY AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, I WAS DELIGHTED LAST YEAR WHEN FRISCO ISSUED ITS FIRST PRIDE PROCLAMATION.

I ATTENDED THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN WHICH THE PROCLAMATION WAS PRESENTED, SHARED IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY LET MY CHILDREN KNOW THAT THEIR HOMETOWN IS FINALLY BECOMING A WELCOMING PLACE FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

[00:25:04]

IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I BEGAN WATCHING FOR NOTICE OF THE MEETING IN WHICH THE PROCLAMATION WOULD BE ISSUED THIS YEAR.

I HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT THE CITY HAS DECLINED TO ISSUE A PRIDE PROCLAMATION THIS YEAR.

LAST YEAR I STAYED FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION OF THE MEETING AND HEARD SOME SPEAKERS SPEWING VITRIOL AT THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND AT YOU ALL FOR CELEBRATING THEM.

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY UNPLEASANT FOR YOU.

IT CERTAINLY WAS PAINFUL FOR ME.

IMAGINE IF THE HATRED AND FEAR MONGERING YOU HEARD THAT NIGHT WAS DIRECTED AT YOUR OWN CHILDREN.

BUT I STAYED BECAUSE OUR LGBTQ COMMUNITY FACES THAT VITRIOL EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES.

SURELY WE CAN FACE IT ONE EVENING PER YEAR.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CITY EXPLICITLY STATES ITS SUPPORT FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO COME FROM OTHER AREAS TO SPEW HATRED LIKE TO CLAIM THAT THEY SPEAK FOR THE SILENT MAJORITY.

THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR FRISCO, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE MAY ELECTIONS.

VOTERS IN FRISCO, PROSPER, MCKINNEY, PLANO AND ALLEN REJECTED SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES BACKED BY A HATEFUL PACK.

WE NEED OUR CITY LEADERS TO SPEAK UP FOR THE WILL OF THE VOTERS.

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL RECONSIDER ISSUING A PRIDE PROCLAMATION THIS YEAR.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

IF THERE IS ANY LEGITIMATE REASON WHY THE REQUEST WAS DECLINED, PLEASE BE FORTHRIGHT ABOUT THAT SO THAT CITIZENS CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A REQUEST APPROVED. AND I'D LIKE TO ADD ONE THING THAT WAS NOT IN MY EMAIL.

I LOOKED AT THE ONLINE GUIDELINES FOR REQUESTING A PROCLAMATION, AND I SAW THAT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS WHY IS IT SPECIFIC TO FRISCO? NOT JUST GENERALLY IMPORTANT? MY ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE THIS.

WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH FRISCO HAS GROWN IN THE LAST 30 YEARS, AND THERE ARE NOW TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO GREW UP IN FRISCO, ATTENDED FRISCO SCHOOLS, K THROUGH 12, AND ARE OF THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS, THOUSANDS ARE PART OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT THEIR HOMETOWN ACCEPTS AND WELCOMES THEM.

THANK YOU. JESSE RINGNESS.

JESSE, IF YOU CAN COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING. SO I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY JUST START OFF BY APPRECIATING THAT LAST COMMENT THE LAST SPEAKER.

MY NAME IS JESSE RINGNIS.

I AM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR THE VISUAL ARTS GUILD OF FRISCO, AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE EVERYONE TO THE UPCOMING ARTIST RECEPTION FOR THE VISUAL ART GUILD OF FRISCO SUMMER SHOW ARTRAGEOUS 2023.

IT WILL BE HELD AT THE FRISCO DISCOVERY CENTER, SO COME MEET LOCAL, TALENTED ARTISTS.

THE MAIN ARTISTIC JUROR IS BRANDON OLDENBURG, WHO IS OSCAR WINNER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND AN ARTIST.

AND THE ART THAT SPEAKS TO ME JUROR IS TONY FELKER, PRESIDENT OF THE FRISCO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

BOTH WILL ANNOUNCE AWARD WINNING PIECES AT THE SHOW.

SIPS AND BITES WILL BE PROVIDED AND THE EVENT IS OPEN TO EVERYONE.

SO BRING FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ANY ART LOVERS.

SO THAT IS THE ARTRAGEUOS 2023 ARTIST RECEPTION SUNDAY, JUNE 18TH 6:30 TO 8:30.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU, JESSE.

KIMBERLY CHENEY.

KIMBERLY CHENEY 2020 GRIFFITH AVENUE, TERRELL, TEXAS.

I'M SURE EVERYONE IS WONDERING WHY SOMEONE FROM TERRELL IS SPEAKING IN FRISCO TODAY.

IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE FAMILY HERE.

MY SIBLINGS ARE HERE.

MY PARENTS ARE HERE.

MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS ARE HERE.

AND SO, MAYOR, AS I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY, AS YOU EMBARK ON YOUR FINAL JOURNEY AS MAYOR, I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOLUNTEERING.

IT'S NOT EASY TO GET UP THERE AND DO THE BEST THAT YOU CAN WITH THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE.

IT'S NOT EASY TO BE JUDGED BY PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.

BUT YOU'VE CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE PROUD OF WHERE THEY LIVE.

YOU'VE CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE MY SIBLINGS CAN THRIVE.

YOU'VE CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS ARE HAPPY AND HAVE JOY.

AND YOU HAVE CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE MY PARENTS WILL LIVE OUT THEIR FINAL DAYS.

AND SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THAT'S IT. [APPLAUSE] UM YEAH.

[00:30:08]

CAMERON CRAMER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO READ THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS.

REALLY STRUGGLED WHETHER OR NOT TO EVEN COME UP HERE TONIGHT AND TALK.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE AN APPEALS PROCESS GOING ON.

THERE'S STILL AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE IMPACT ON WHERE THIS GOES MOVING FORWARD AND AND REALLY SHOW A SUPPORT FUNCTION TO THE EMPLOYEES OF FRISCO.

8635 COUNTY ROAD 172.

AS AN EMPLOYEE WHO HAS BEEN WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF THE FRISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT SINCE 1996.

I ASK THAT YOU RESPECT THE MANY CHALLENGES MYSELF AND OTHERS HAVE FACED.

DURING LAST NIGHT'S TOWN HALL MEETING THE MAYOR, YOU AND WES HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE YOUR SUPPORT FOR FRISCO FIRST RESPONDERS WITH PTSD, AND THE QUESTION WAS JUST IGNORED.

YOU REMAINED SILENT, CHOSE TO REMAIN SILENT, IGNORE THE DUTY TO TAKE ACTION, AND COMMIT TO SUPPORT THE EMPLOYEES WITH THIS DEBILITATING WORK RELATED ILLNESS.

I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE COMPLETELY AWARE OF HOW THE CITY CONTINUES TO ABANDON ME AS ONE OF YOUR FIRST RESPONDERS FOR 27 YEARS.

I REMAIN IN THE APPEALS PROCESS WITH THE CITY THAT WOULD LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S HOPE FOR A HEALTHY RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWS HEALING.

BUT YET YOU'VE COLLECTED MY UNIFORMS DOWN TO MY SHOES, PACKED MY OFFICE, SENT IT TO MY HOUSE, AND STRIPPED ME OF MY MEDICAL COVERAGE AS OF JUNE 1ST.

SO ANYTHING TO DO WITH PTSD OR ANY OF THOSE TREATMENTS RIGHT NOW, I HAVE NO MEDICAL COVERAGE FOR.

AND WE'RE STILL IN THE APPEALS PROCESS.

RIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO.

NOT TO MENTION THAT STRIPS THE MEDICAL COVERAGE FOR MY FAMILY ALSO.

THESE DECISIONS AND LACK OF CARE FOR THE EMPLOYEES ARE CATASTROPHIC AND ONLY CAUSE EXPONENTIAL SETBACKS IN THE HEALING PROCESS.

I WANT TO REMIND YOU OF A NAME, CAPTAIN TONY WOODS OF THE FRISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT.

TONY WAS AN AMAZING MAN.

HE HAD UNRELENTING TRAUMA MEMORIES THAT LEFT HIM HOPELESS AS A RESULT OF BEING A FIRST RESPONDER IN FRISCO, TEXAS.

TONY DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP OR HOW TO EFFECTIVELY ASK FOR IT.

BEFORE HE COULD FIGURE IT OUT IT WAS TOO LATE.

WE, ALL OF US, MYSELF INCLUDED, HAVE A DUTY TO LEARN FROM TONY WOODS.

I SIMPLY ASK THAT YOU REFLECT ON THESE THREE STATEMENTS TONIGHT.

SEARCH YOUR HEART AND ASK YOURSELF THESE THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS.

WHAT HAS THE CITY AND OUR CITY COUNCIL DONE TO SUPPORT EMPLOYEES DIAGNOSED WITH WORK RELATED PTSD IN THE PAST? WHAT STEPS CAN WE TAKE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR NOW, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE? AND IS THE CITY DOING THE RIGHT THING? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.

DONNA SCHMIDTLER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

DONNA SCHMIDTLER. 7037 WHITE ROCK COURT, FRISCO, TEXAS, 75036.

I'M ACTUALLY NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT HERITAGE TONIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE FRISCO GARDEN CLUB, WE'RE 91 YEARS OLD, THE OLDEST CIVIC ORGANIZATION IN FRISCO.

AND THIS IS NATIONAL GARDEN WEEK.

AND AS IS OUR CUSTOM, I GUESS ABOUT THE PAST SEVEN YEARS OR SO, WE CELEBRATE NATIONAL GARDEN WEEK BY THANKING THE PARK AND REC DEPARTMENT STAFF AND WORKERS WHO HELP US TO BEAUTIFY OUR CITY AND WHO HELP US AT THE DIFFERENT PARKS THAT WE DO OVER AT THE HERITAGE VILLAGE BICENTENNIAL PARK.

AND I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ALL THAT.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LUNCH AND SNACKS FOR THEM AT THE GROVE TOMORROW, AND THEY COME ON THEIR BREAKS.

THEY DON'T MISS WORK.

THEY COME ON THEIR BREAKS AND WE VISIT WITH THEM AND WE THANK THEM.

SO WE ARE THIS IS A WONDERFUL CITY AND YOU HAVE SOME WONDERFUL EMPLOYEES AND THE PARK AND REC DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED.

AND IF I MAY ADD JUST ONE LITTLE THING, I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A NEW POLICY WITH REGARD TO PROCLAMATIONS.

AND IF WE HAD A PROCLAMATION DONE LAST YEAR FOR VARIOUS THINGS, YOU'RE NOT DOING ANOTHER ONE THIS YEAR.

SO I THINK I KNOW YOU CAN'T SPEAK TO US, BUT I'M JUST MENTIONING THAT FOR THE LADY WHO SPOKE EARLIER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DONNA.

OKAY. THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REPORT SECTION.

ITEM 11 IS OUR LIBRARY MONTHLY REPORT.

[11. Library Monthly Report on statistics and activities.]

[00:35:12]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS SHELLEY HOLLEY AND I'M THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR.

A COUPLE OF THINGS DONNA JUST MENTIONED THE GARDEN CLUB AND THE [INAUDIBLE] I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THEM.

THEY ARE GOING TO BE DOING A PROGRAM FOR US IN JULY.

WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THEM FOR THE LANDSCAPING IN FRONT OF THE NEW LIBRARY.

IT'S ALL NATIVE BLACKLAND PRAIRIE PLANTS AND THEY WILL BE OFFERING TOURS ON THE 8TH OF JULY.

WE ALSO WILL BE PUTTING PLANT TAGS NEXT TO EVERYTHING WITH QR CODES.

SO THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT NATIVE PLANTS CAN WALK THROUGH THE AREA AT ANY TIME AND FIND OUT INFORMATION.

YOU KNOW, OUR MAYOR SUMMER READING PROGRAM HAS JUST BEGUN FOR THIS SUMMER.

SO FAR, KIDS HAVE REPORTED READING HALF A MILLION MINUTES AND WE HAVE ABOUT NEARLY 4000 KIDS PARTICIPATING.

THE PROGRAMS BEGIN IN EARNEST TOMORROW.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE DATES THERE AND SEE THAT WE OFFER FOUR PROGRAMS DURING THE DAY AND ONE EVENING PROGRAM TO TRY AND ACCOMMODATE AS MANY FAMILIES AS POSSIBLE. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT WE MADE TEMPORARY PARKING WHERE WE ARE HAVING STAFF PARK, WEATHER PERMITTING, AND THAT FREES UP AN ADDITIONAL 50 PARKING SPACES IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE LIBRARY.

IF IN FACT YOU COME AND YOU STILL MAY FIND OR STRUGGLE WITH PARKING.

THERE IS PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE PARKING GARAGE HERE AT CITY HALL.

IT'S A QUARTER OF A MILE WALK.

IT TAKES ABOUT SIX MINUTES.

AND THE PARKING AT THE COURTHOUSE IS ABOUT A SIMILAR DISTANCE.

THAT'S I'VE BEEN USING THAT LOT ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST LITTLE WHILE AND IT IN A RAMBLE SLOW WALK.

IT ONLY TAKES SEVEN MINUTES.

SO IT'S LIKE WALKING FROM YOUR CAR TO THE MALL TO THE STORE YOU WANT IN THE MALL.

BUT SO WE HAVE BACKUP PARKING FOR THOSE WHO MAY FIND THEY NEED IT.

ALSO, WE JUST DID OUR FAMILY SCIENCE NIGHT.

WE HAD JUST OVER A THOUSAND KIDS PARTICIPATE AND 20 ORGANIZATIONS THAT PARTICIPATED.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THEY DID.

WE TRY TO KICK OFF SUMMER READING WITH SOME WITH FAMILY SCIENCE NIGHT, AND THEN WE USUALLY WRAP IT UP WITH FAMILY TECH NIGHTS SOMETIME IN AUGUST.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

IT'S IN THE EVENINGS AND NOW WITH OUR NICE NEW LARGE LOCATION, WE CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE MORE EASILY.

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

[INAUDIBLE] HAVE YOU STILL BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME LEVEL OF PARKING? I DID HAVE A MEETING AT THE LIBRARY THIS AFTERNOON AND IT SEEMED TO BE.

IT WAS OKAY. YEAH.

YOU KNOW, WE.

YES, SINCE TODAY WAS A DAY WITHOUT PROGRAMING.

WE'RE. WE KNOW WE'RE GOOD.

THE WHAT I HAVE NOTICED ON THE DAYS WITH WITH STORY TIMES FOR THE LITTLE THE LITTLES AND THAT KIND OF THING IS BY HAVING THE STAFF PARK IN THAT ADDITIONAL LOT, WE TEND TO HAVE 2 OR 3 PARKING SPACES KIND OF ALWAYS AVAILABLE, SOMETIMES MORE.

BUT ONCE THINGS REALLY GET CHURNING, IT'S THAT GETTING THE, THE STAFF OFF THE LOT AND TO A SEPARATE LOT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN FREEING UP SPACE.

SO WE FEEL LIKE WE BY THE WAY, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO DANIEL FORD'S TEAM WITH ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND GABE'S TEAM WITH PUBLIC SERVICE [INAUDIBLE] AND JASON COOLEY, WHO HELPED COORDINATE MAKING THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE IT IT'S THE FASTEST, FASTEST GOVERNMENTAL RESPONSE I'VE EVER SEEN.

IT WAS AMAZING.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE SAID WE NEEDED IT.

AND WITH A WEEK, WITHIN A WEEK WE HAD IT.

SO IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING.

SO KUDOS TO ALL OF THEM FOR A LOT OF WORK THAT THEY PUT IN TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

CHARLIE, I DO YOU HAVE ONE THING FOR YOU QUICK.

YOU HAD RESPONDED AND HELPED US.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME QUESTIONS AROUND IF PEOPLE WANTED TO RENT THE ROOMS. YES. WOULD YOU JUST SHARE WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE NOW THAT THAT'S AVAILABLE? YES. SO THE AFTER HOURS, THE TERRACE LOBBY AND THEN THE FOUR DIFFERENT MEETING ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RENT WHILE THE LIBRARY IS OPEN, THE MEETING ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN'T CLOSE OFF THE LOBBY OR THE TERRACE BECAUSE THOSE ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC WHILE WE'RE OPEN, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO THE LIBRARY VIA EMAIL OR PHONE.

OUR RENTAL COORDINATOR'S NAME IS AMY ADAMS AND SHE IS BOOKING THOSE NOW, THERE IS A MINIMUM LENGTH OF TIME.

[00:40:04]

A BOOKING NEEDS TO BE THREE HOURS UNLESS IT'S A NON PROFIT, AND THEN THE MINIMUM BOOKING LENGTH IS TWO HOURS.

PRICES ARE SET BY HOW LONG YOU BOOK AND HOW MANY ROOMS WE HAVE ONE VERY LARGE ROOM THAT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO SMALLER ONES, AND SO THE SMALLER ROOMS OBVIOUSLY HAVE LESS COST.

WE ARE HAPPY TO HELP ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN USING ANY OF THE SPACES.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL SPACES AND THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME TO USE THEM.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SHELLY.

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

THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT'LL MOVE US TO ITEM 12, WHICH IS OUR PARKS REPORT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SHANNON COATS, DIRECTOR OF PLAY FRISCO.

THE ADVICE THAT I WOULD GIVE YOU NOW WE WANT TO HEAR IT.

THE ADVICE I WOULD GIVE YOU IS NEVER TO STOP PLAYING AND ALSO TO HIRE THE YOUNG MAN.

I NEED AN INTERN, SO I'LL TAKE HIM [LAUGHTER].

THE ONE THAT SAID BUILD GRAND PARK FASTER.

MAYBE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT.

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, IT IS IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD FROM SO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THE IMPACT OF PLAY AND HOW THEY'RE ABLE TO FIND MULTIPLE THINGS TO DO IN THE CITY OF FRISCO, WHICH WE STRIVE TO OFFER THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR PARKS, INCLUDING GRAND PARK, WHICH IS COMING.

ALONG THOSE LINES OF PLAY.

WE JUST WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

JULY IS PARK AND RECREATION MONTH NATIONALLY, SO WE USUALLY TRY TO DO 30 OR 31 DAYS OF PLAY IN JULY.

EVERYONE'S VERY WORN OUT AFTER THAT.

SO BUT ROLL WITH THE COUNCIL'S COMING UP.

YOU HEARD THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS UP HERE SPEAKING EARLIER ABOUT THE SOUL PATROL AND THAT RIDE ON SATURDAY, JUNE 17TH.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, I THINK THEY DO A REALLY LONG RIDE FOR EXPERIENCED PEOPLE, BUT MAYBE YOU COULD JOIN THEM FOR PART OF THAT AND THEN SKIRT OVER TO JIMMY AND CLARA JONES PARK AT 9:30 AND JOIN US FOR THE OFFICIAL RIBBON CUTTING THERE.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED. THE FAMILY'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

SO PLEASE DO COME OUT AND JOIN US.

WHAT'S THE IF YOU GO BACK, I RECOGNIZE ALL OF THEM OTHER THAN THE FRISCO LISTENING ROOM.

WHAT IS THAT? SO THAT'S AN OPEN MIC SESSION.

SO THAT'S A PRETTY NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'VE STARTED.

SO FROM 5 TO 6 P.M., IT'S FOR THOSE 12 AND UNDER.

IT'S ATTRACTED MUSICIANS, BUT IT'S OPEN, OPEN TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COME DO POETRY OR DO LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

IT'S REALLY A PUSH BY OUR CULTURAL AFFAIRS DIVISION TO TO BROADEN AND EXPAND WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE ARTS HERE IN FRISCO.

SO 5 TO 6 P.M.

IS FOR THOSE 12 AND UNDER 6:30 TO 8:30 P.M.

IS TEENS AND ADULTS.

GRAND PARK VISION OF COURSE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AUDIO.

THE NEXT MAJOR LANDMARK THAT WE'LL HAVE WITH THEM, OR MILESTONE, WILL BE FRIDAY, JUNE 16TH.

AND THE LIBRARY, I CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT IT'S EASY TO BOOK A ROOM BECAUSE WE'VE BOOKED A ROOM AND WE WILL BE HOSTING THEM THERE.

SO THERE'LL BE MORE INFORMATION TO COME.

BUT THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE BRINGING BACK, THE VISION FOR GRAND PARK, WE WILL HAVE DISPLAYED THANKS TO SHELLEY'S KINDNESS IN THE LOBBY OF THE LIBRARY FOR APPROXIMATELY A WEEK. SO AFTER AUDIO DOES ROLL OUT THEIR INFORMATION, WE'LL CONTINUE TO GATHER MORE FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC.

THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO, EVEN IF IT'S ON A TRIP AROUND THE HERITAGE VILLAGE, MAYBE PASS BABES OR SOMETHING, IS PLEASED TO GO LOOK AT WAITING ON THE RAILS. SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT USED TO BE OUT ON PRESTON ROAD, ONE OF THE ART PIECES AND ONE OF OUR GOALS IS REALLY TO GET THOSE ART PIECES OFF OF PRESTON ROAD BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING SO QUICKLY, THEY USUALLY DON'T SEE THEM.

THIS PARTICULAR ONE HAD BEEN HIT BY A CAR, AND SO THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL, VERY AMAZING RESTORATION THAT TOOK PLACE.

AND NOW IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S IN ITS NATURAL HOME.

SO PLEASE GO LOOK.

WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AND I JUST APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? SHANNON YOU MENTIONED THE GRAND PARK FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

IF PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK TO THAT SURVEY, WHERE CAN THEY FIND IT? SO IF THEY VISIT PLAYFRISCO.ORG, THEY CAN FIND IT THERE.

THEY CAN ALSO FIND IT THROUGH ANY OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS AND WE ARE LEAVING THAT PUBLIC FEEDBACK BOX OPEN.

IDO HAS COMMITTED TO US.

THEY SAID IT'S YOUR DATA, IT'S YOUR INFORMATION.

THEY'LL LEAVE IT OPEN AS LONG AS WE WANT.

SO WE DO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PLEASE GO ON AND GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK.

WE DO NEED REPRESENTATION FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU, SHANNON. THANKS.

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

AND MOVE US TO ITEM 13, OUR ENGINEERING MONTHLY REPORT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

PAUL KNIPPEL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING.

MY REPORT TONIGHT IS JUST A GUIDELINE OF HOW TO FIND OUT ABOUT OUR ROADWAY PROJECTS AROUND THE CITY.

[00:45:04]

WHEN A ROAD IS GOING TO BE DONE, WHEN IT'S GOING TO START, AND HOW THE PUBLIC CAN ACCESS THAT INFORMATION, AS WELL AS INFORMATION ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS THAT ARE UNDER DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION.

SO FROM THE CITY'S HOME PAGE, IF YOU LOOK UNDER DEPARTMENTS UP HERE AND THEN GO TO GIS, YOU'LL SEE AND THEN CLICK ON THE MAPPING PORTAL WILL TAKE YOU TO.

TAKE YOU TO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS IN THE MAPPING PORTAL.

AND THEN IF YOU'RE A LOCAL, YOU WOULD TAP ON THAT AND THEN IT TAKES YOU TO TO THIS MENU HERE.

AND IF I COULD, IF THIS WAS LIVE, I COULD SCROLL DOWN AND THERE'S A LOT OF ICONS ON HERE, A LOT OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY.

BUT UP IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER, THERE IS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

THAT'S OUR ROAD WATER AND SEWER JOBS.

AND THEN ALSO THE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR PARKS AND TRAILS.

SO WE WORK WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT TO EXECUTE THESE PROJECTS.

AND THEN IF YOU SCROLL DOWN FURTHER, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE ON ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND TRAFFIC VOLUMES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AS WELL AS ANOTHER ICON FOR SCHOOL ZONES. AND THEN ANOTHER ONE UP IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER HERE FOR JUST GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT.

SO THAT'S SUBDIVISIONS AND INDIVIDUAL SITES THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT JOHN'S OFFICE HELPS KEEP POPULATED.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE ABOUT ABOUT THINGS.

CERTAINLY RESIDENTS ARE WELCOME TO CALL, CALL ENGINEERING TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON OR THIS IS AVAILABLE AND KEPT UP TO DATE.

SO THAT WAS REALLY THE PURPOSE OF MY REPORT TONIGHT.

WE HIGHLIGHTED A COUPLE OF PROJECTS IF YOU CLICK IN THE REPORT ITSELF, BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD AVENUE INTO ALL OF THEM.

SO IF YOU CLICK ON ONE OF THOSE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, IT'LL COME UP LIKE THIS, AND THEN YOU CAN ZOOM IN THROUGHOUT THE MAP AND CLICK ON ONE OF THE GREEN OR YELLOW COLORS PROJECTS, AND THEN IT'LL GIVE YOU INFORMATION ABOUT THE ABOUT THAT PROJECT.

AND THIS IS THE SAME ONE FOR THE PARKS PROGRAM.

A LOT OF TRAILS ON THERE, YOU CAN SEE.

SO I WILL SAY, SINCE THIS HAS BEEN ADDED, I ACTUALLY KEEP THE ROAD MAP ON MY PHONE AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE I GET SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ROAD PROJECTS.

SO I ALWAYS HAVE IT RIGHT AT MY FINGERTIPS.

SO IT'S BEEN A GREAT VALUE ADD FOR ME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

THANKS TO THE FOLKS IN GIS AND SUSAN TOGETHER.

THANK YOU FOR THAT TOOL AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT YOU SPENT LAST NIGHT AT THE TOWN HALL.

I KNOW THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME WERE ROAD RELATED, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

THANK YOU, PAUL. OKAY.

OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS.

ANY UPDATES? WE DID HAVE AN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS REGIONAL COMMITTEE MEETING.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT MAKE QUORUM THAT DAY, SO NOT ALL OF OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS SHOWED UP.

SO WENT ALL THE WAY TO ARLINGTON FOR NOT A WHOLE LOT, BUT WE DID GET SOME VERY INTERESTING UPDATES.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON IS THE UPCOMING ECLIPSE THAT'S HAPPENING NEXT YEAR.

DID NOT REALIZE THIS, BUT WE ARE APPARENTLY DIRECTLY IN THE PATH AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY STARTING TO BOOK OUT HOTELS.

AND THERE'S EVEN A PROGRAM FOR OUR LIBRARIES THAT IF WE WANT TO REQUEST ECLIPSE GLASSES THAT WE CAN, THEY WILL PROVIDE THOSE FOR US.

SO VERY INTERESTING.

YOU KNOW, HEADS UP THAT'S COMING.

VISIT FRISCO. LITERALLY.

HEADS UP. SHELLEY.

HAVE WE REQUESTED THE ECLIPSE GLASSES YET? [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

ANY OTHER UPDATES? OKAY.

THAT'LL 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 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 ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT, MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD.

WE HAVE ITEMS 16 THROUGH 30 FOR CONSIDERATION.

[00:50:03]

KNOTTS IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR ADDRESS, YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS WAYNE KNOTTS.

I LIVE AT 802 LAKESIDE DRIVE IN ATHENS, TEXAS.

I'M SORT OF A FOREIGNER HERE.

ALTHOUGH I LIVED IN THE COLONY IN THE 80S AND MY DAD RAN BUSINESS HERE IN TOWN IN THE 90S.

SO COMING BACK HOME A LITTLE BIT.

BUT I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A WORD HERE TONIGHT.

SO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET STARTED WITH SOMETHING, YOU PICK UP THE WRONG PAPER.

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I DID. MAY I GO PICK UP MY RIGHT PAPER? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AND APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
