[LAUGHTER] >> LET'S GET A QUICK PICTURE HERE. >> THAT'S ALL YOU GET. >> LET'S THANK WALKER ONE MORE TIME. TAKE US TO ITEM 5, WHICH IS COUNCIL COMMODORE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OTHER PROCLAMATIONS. COUNCIL, ANYTHING OF NOTE. >> MAYOR, I WANTED TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE CITY HELD AN EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION LUNCHEON FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IT WAS JUST AN INCREDIBLE RECOGNITION OF ALL OF THE EFFORTS THAT OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS PUT IN TO MAKE FRISCO ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO LIVE. JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE WES AND THE CORE TEAM THAT PUT TOGETHER THAT LUNCH, AND THEN JUST SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF THE TEAMS THAT WERE RECOGNIZED FOR INCREDIBLE WORK TO THE CITY OF FRISCO. THANK YOU, WES, FOR RECOGNIZING YOUR TEAM AND [NOISE] THESE WERE GIVEN OUT AT THE RECOGNITION, AND MUCH TO MY DISMAY. COUNCIL MEMBER KEATING, GRABBED ONE FOR EACH OF US, AND SOME OF US ENJOY USING THESE MORE THAN OTHERS. WE WILL USE THESE FROM TIME TO TIME TONIGHT. I'M SURE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, ANGELIA.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TAKE THOSE AT THIS TIME. >> WELL, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAD SOME CUPCAKES DELIVERED FOR OUR COUNCIL DINNER IN OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION, THAT IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WERE OPENED. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT. >> YES. THAT'S A PERFECT SEGUE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WHICH SHOWS TO YOU WHAT HAPPENS IS WE'VE OPENED. THIS IS CLEARLY JUST A LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING, BUT LOOK AT THE OF VISITORS AND THOSE ARE NOT MILES. THOSE ARE MILLIONS, RIGHT THERE. 2.25 MILLION VISITS, 6.8 MILLION CHECKOUTS, 84,000 ROOM RESERVATIONS. THEN WE OPENED UP THE VIVIAN MCCALLUM TERRACE AND HONOR VIVIAN MCCALLUM, AND THE FRIENDS DONATED ALL THE LANDSCAPING. THEN WE OPENED THE PRODUCTION STUDIO THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AMONGST THE COMMUNITY. IT'S IN CONSTANT USE. IT'S VERY EXCITING. IT'S ALL DIY. WE PROVIDE THE MATERIALS, AND PEOPLE COME, AND THEN A BIG SHOUT OUT TO PUBLIC WORKS THAT MADE THE ADDITIONAL PARKING A REAL IMPROVEMENT TO THE FACILITY. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A BIT OF A FRICTION POINT FOR OUR RESIDENTS BECAUSE WE'RE THAT POPULAR, AND PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO THE LIBRARY, AND SO WE ADDED MORE PARKING, THANKS TO OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION DEPARTMENT. THEN WE ALSO INCREASED OUR HOURS BY FOUR ON SUNDAYS. WE'VE HAD A SUCCESSFUL TWO YEARS. I JUST COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. >> COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE? >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ITEM 7 IS OUR PARKS AND REC REPORT. [Parks and Recreation report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.] I THINK WE NEED TO OFFICIALLY CHANGE THIS AGENDA ITEM TO OUR PLAY FRISCO REPORT THAT THROWS ME OFF EVERY TIME. >> IF I HAD THE CLAPPER, I'D BE CLAPPING RIGHT NOW. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU FOR THAT. I FEEL LIKE THAT WAS A MAJOR WIN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M SHANNON COATES. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PLAY FRISCO. THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPPORT. I HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES FOR YOU. IF YOU DID NOT MAKE IT OUT TO TRICK OR TROUT, AND YOU HAVE NOT HEARD, WE HAD OVER 750 PEOPLE COME OUT FISHING. WE ALMOST NEEDED A BIGGER POND. [00:15:01] YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE ELSE THEY MAY BE FISHING. OF COURSE, HAVE YOU PLAYED TODAY? I CAN SEE THAT YOU HAVE, BUT I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING. IT IS A PRIORITY. WHETHER IT'S CLAPPING WITH VERY FUNNY THINGS IN YOUR HAND OR WALKING YOUR DOG, WE'LL TAKE IT, WE JUST WANT YOU TO GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR WELL-BEING. WE DO HAVE SOME UPCOMING EVENTS. I WILL SAY, MAYOR CHENEY, I CAME ACROSS A REALLY FUN PICTURE OF YOU, AS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THINGS TO SUBMIT TO OUR NATIONAL PARK AND REC ASSOCIATION FOR RECOGNITION, WHERE IT APPEARED ONE OF OUR CITIZENS HAD CAPTURED A NICE PHOTO OF SOMEONE SMASHING COLOR ALL OVER YOUR FACE LAST YEAR, SO YOU MAY MAKE THE MAGAZINE COVER. WE DON'T KNOW. BUT THE FESTIVAL OF COLORS IS COMING UP AGAIN. SO IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ENJOY DOING, IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY COME OUT AND THINK, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS, AND YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THE EVENT. WE ALSO HAVE NOCTURNE, SO THAT'S OUR ART TRAIL AT GRAND PARK. AS EVERYONE'S AWARE, WE DID GET SOME RAIN, AND SO WE'RE DOING SOME EVALUATION. WE'LL GO BACK AGAIN TOMORROW AND MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE DRY ENOUGH. WORST CASE SCENARIO, IT WOULDN'T BE CANCELED. WE MAY JUST HAVE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO IT. THEN COFFEE AND CULTURE ARE TEEN ADDITION. SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE KIDS BEING ON SPRING BREAK AND INVITE OUR TEENS TO COME AND GIVE US FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OVER TO THE HERITAGE MUSEUM RECENTLY, ONE OF THE VERY COOL THINGS THAT'S ON DISPLAY IS BUZZ ALDRIN'S SPACE SUIT. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO STOP BY AND SEE THAT. OF COURSE, WALNUT OUR MASCOT, IS READY TO HEAD INTO SPACE. IT WENT UP FEBRUARY 20. IT WILL BE UP AND AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE 21. AS WAS ALREADY MENTIONED HERE TONIGHT, SO I CAN NEVER SAY ENOUGH, AND I'M ALWAYS SO TOUCHED BY THE HARD WORK THAT THE TEAM DOES ON A REGULAR BASIS. IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE SO MANY PLAY FRISCO EMPLOYEES RECOGNIZED FOR THE CORE VALUES. THE CATEGORIES COVERED THAT THEY TOOK HOME AWARDS IN OUR OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, OUR EMPLOYEES, AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE ALSO HAD SOME WINNERS, SECOND PLACE, AND ALSO FOURTH PLACE AT THE TRAPS. THAT'S OUR STATE PARK AND REC AGENCY. OUR CONFERENCE WAS LAST WEEK OVER IN ALLEN, TEXAS, AND WE DID HAVE SOME OF OUR PARK OPS GUYS THAT DID AN AMAZING JOB. I WILL SAY I'VE BEEN LOBBYING. I'M NOT SURE WHO USES NAILS ANYMORE. I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE SCREW GUNS, BUT THEY WON'T BUDGE, SO WE WERE VERY PROUD TO TAKE THAT. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU. [Engineering Services Monthly Report on planning, design, and construction of roadways, traffic control, water utilities, parks, and trails.] >> THANK YOU. ITEM 8 IS OUR ENGINEERING REPORT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JASON BRODIGAN, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES. JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP TO DATE ON A FEW BIG PROJECTS WE'VE GOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW. PJ PARKWAY, WHERE WE'RE RECONSTRUCTING THE TWO LANE ASPHALT ROADWAY BETWEEN PRESTON AND COIT TO SIX LANES HAS REALLY STARTED GOING. IF YOU'VE DRIVEN OUT THAT WAY, THERE'S A LOT OF DIRT MOVING. EXPECTING A LOT OF PROGRESS HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. THAT'S A BIG PROJECT FOR US. MARCH IS GOING TO ALSO BE THE MONTH WHERE WE START PAINTING PANTHER CREEK PARKWAY BETWEEN D&T AND PRESTON. YOU'LL START SEEING ACTUAL, THERE YOU GO, CONCRETE PAVING GOING DOWN. THAT'S ALWAYS A BIG MILESTONE FOR A PROJECT. THEN OBVIOUSLY, THE RAIL DISTRICT PROJECTS ARE GOING WELL. WE HOPE TO OPEN THE TEMPORARY PARKING LOTS THAT ARE BEING BUILT NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE, WE'RE LOOKING AT TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH, 1ST OF APRIL FOR A TRAFFIC SWITCH ONTO THE NEW CONCRETE BETWEEN FIRST AND FIFTH, AND THAT WILL ALLOW US TO START WORK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHORTLY AFTER, PROBABLY ABOUT TWO MONTHS, WE'LL FINISH THE FIFTH TO SEVENTH AND MAKE THAT TRAFFIC SWITCH. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? >> I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF IT'S EASY TO PUT THE INFORMATION TOGETHER JUST OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THE TOTAL MILES OF ROADWAY PROJECTS THAT THE CITY'S BEEN IN THE DOLLAR VALUE OF CAPITAL PROJECTS. >> IT'S SUBSTANTIAL. >> WE SHOW THAT CIP MAP, AND I THINK IT'S EYE OPENING FOR PEOPLE, BUT JUST FOR US TO BE ABLE TO JUST ARTICULATE THOSE NUMBERS, I THINK, WE WANT TO COMMUNICATE ALL THE HARD WORK YOUR DEPARTMENT'S DOING ACROSS THE CITY OF FRISCO BECAUSE IT'S MY BELIEF THAT WE'VE PROBABLY NEVER HAD AS MANY ROAD PROJECTS IN OUR CONSTRUCTION AT ONE TIME IN OUR CITY'S HISTORY. >> ESPECIALLY THE SIZE THAT WE'RE BUILDING NOW, YES, SIR. >> I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE THAT. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO EASILY PUT IT TOGETHER. >> NO PROBLEM. YES, SIR. >> THANK YOU. [00:20:01] >> YES, SIR. [Public Works Monthly Report on water production, service requests, and storm water updates.] >> ITEM NINE IS OUR PUBLIC WORKS' REPORT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GABE JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. I DID WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A BRIEF UPDATE OF THE STORM CALLS WE RECEIVED TODAY. AS OF 5:00 O'CLOCK WE HAD 79 TOTAL SERVICE REQUEST. THE MAJORITY OF THE CALLS WERE SIGNAL, SIGNS AND DEBRIS. AT 4:00 O'CLOCK WE WERE SHUTTING DOWN 5TH STREET. NEAR THE EXIT SITE THERE WAS A ENCORE HEAD POLE LEANING UNSAFELY INTO THE STREET. THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT REPAIR. HOPEFULLY, I WAS HOPING TO BE OPEN BACK UP BY NOW, BUT HAVEN'T GOT A TEXT. HOPEFULLY, BY THE TIME WE GET OUT OF THIS MEETING, IT'LL BE BACK OPEN. WE DID HAVE A FEW PUMP STATION SITES, RUNNING ON GENERATOR POWER THIS MORNING FOR THREE OR FOUR HOURS. BUT SO FAR, EVERYTHING'S BACK UP. RIGHT NOW JUST DEALING WITH THE HIGH WINDS. WE STILL HAVE NINE GUYS OUT PICKING UP DEBRIS AS THE CALLS COME IN. AS OF 5:30 WE'RE STILL GETTING CALLS. BUT SO FAR, PRETTY MINOR STUFF. HOPEFULLY, EVERYBODY SURVIVED ANY DAMAGE AT THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY. BUT THAT'S THE REPORT FOR THE STORM REPORT. >> COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE REPORT? THANK YOU.

[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.] COUNCIL, WHAT UPDATES DO YOU HAVE? >> THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL DID MEET A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND IT WAS AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DART. ALTHOUGH FRISCO IS NOT A DART MEMBER CITY, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW DART NEEDS TO INNOVATE SO THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME FORM OF MICROTRANSIT, MICROMOBILITY THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY USE. THAT WAS A VOTE THAT HAPPENED, AND IT WAS A CONTENTIOUS VOTE, BUT IT DID GO FORWARD THAT WE'RE ASKING DART TO INNOVATE. YOU SHOULD BE STARTING TO SEE SOME THINGS POPULATING ON TRANSPORTATION, BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC IS A VERY DIFFICULT TOPIC IN FRISCO, AND WE REALLY WANT TO HELP FIGURE THAT ONE OUT. >> THANK YOU, TAMMY.

I JUST WANT TO INVITE THE PUBLIC OUT TOMORROW NIGHT TO OUR BOARD MEETING. IT'S 6:30 HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS, WHERE WE WILL START THE PROCESS OF HEARING FROM THE DIFFERENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE APPLYING FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS. THAT IS THE CDBG GRANTS. I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN FRISCO TO UNDERSTAND HOW A LOT OF OUR NONPROFITS GET FUNDED AND TO SEE THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH THE BOARD GOES THROUGH TO LEARN ABOUT THIS. AGAIN, I INVITE THE PUBLIC OUT TO LEARN MORE, AND IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING TOMORROW NIGHT. IT IS WEDNESDAY AT 6:30 PM. HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT, WE'LL HAVE MR. LEE. >> THIS TIME, WHEREFORE, COME THESE THINGS UPON ME. JEREMIAH CHAPTER 13:22 SAYS LIKE THAT. IF THOU SAY IN THY HEART, WHEREFORE, [00:25:05] COME THESE THINGS UPON ME FOR THE GREATNESS OF THY SIN, GREATNESS OF THINE INIQUITY ARE THY SKIRTS UNCOVERED AND THY HEELS MADE A BARE. THE REASON WHY THE BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME, THEN FIRST REASON IS BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BELOVED CHILD OF GOD. MY SON, DESPISE NOT THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN THOU ART REBUKED OF HIM, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVETH, HE CHASTENS AND SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH, HEBREW CHAPTER 12: 5 - 6. JEREMIAH AGAIN. LAMENTATION CHAPTER 32:33 SAYS, BUT THOUGH HE CAUSES GRIEF, YET WILL HAVE COMPASSION ACCORDING TO THE MULTITUDE OF HIS MERCIES. FOR HE DOTH NOT AFFLICT OF WILLING NOR GRIEVE THE CHILDREN OF MEN. JAMES CHAPTER 1:17, EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE. THAT COMES DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF THE LIGHT WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER SHADOW OF THE TURNING. THIS IS THE FIRST REASON GODS SO LOVED YOU. SECOND REASON IS THEIR IS SATAN, THE ORIGINATOR OF ALL UNHAPPY THINGS. JOHN 8:44 SAYS, THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. SPEAKETH A LIAR. HE LIE. HE SPEAKETH HIS OWN. HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT. HE WAS THE MURDER FROM THE BEGINNING. HIS NAME, IS THE SATAN, DEVIL, AND THE DECEIVER OF THE WORLD. IN THE BIBLE, THE RED DRAGON AND THE GREAT RED DRAGON, OR THE SERPENT. HE WAS CAST OUT FROM HEAVEN INTO THIS EARTH WITH HIS ANGELS, CAST WITH HIM. WHY DIDN'T GOD DESTROY HIM WHEN HE REBELLED AGAINST GOD AND HIS KINGDOM? >> THANK YOU, MR. LEE. >> THANK YOU. NEXT TIME. >> SEE YOU NEXT TIME. THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL THIS IS ALMOST A TWO YEAR PROCESS. COUNCIL APPROVED THE CONTRACT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS ON APRIL THE 4 OF 2023. IN THAT TIME OF PREPARING THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE'VE HAD OVER 30 MEETINGS, OUTREACH TO PUBLIC LIKE AT STREETS FESTIVAL, JOINT MEETINGS BETWEEN COUNCIL, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, PRESENTING TO DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS MADE UP OF 27 MEMBERS, 22 OF WHICH COUNCIL APPOINTED. THE OTHERS WERE THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, PARKS BOARD, EDC, CDC, AND AS WELL AS THE FRISCO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. ONE THING I DO WANT TO ADD IN THIS. WE'RE DOING THE SAME AS WE DID WITH THE 2006 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE GOT A LITTLE DERAILED WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT. BUT EVERY YEAR WITH THAT 2006 PLAN, WE RECONVENED THE COMPREHENSIVE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. IN THAT, STAFF SELECTED SEVERAL TASKS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR AND TO GET CPAC'S INPUT ON IT AND ALSO GAUGE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN. WE WOULD START DOING THAT IN THE FALL, TAKE THAT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND PRESENT TO CITY COUNCIL AND DO THAT BEFORE WE START ON THE BUDGET PROCESS, ESPECIALLY, IF ANY OF THOSE PROJECTS WOULD REQUIRE ANY FUNDING AT ALL. WE WILL PICK THAT BACK UP. BUT WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DAN SEFKO AT FREESE AND NICHOLS TO PRESENT. >> THANK YOU MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

ERICA CRAIG KRAFT WAS ON THE PROJECT ALSO, BUT SHE'S NOT HERE THIS EVENING. JUST BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT'S MEETING IS FOR YOU TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND HOPEFUL EVENTUAL ADOPTION OF THE PLAN. WE ARE HONORED, PRIVILEGED TO PRESENT THE PLAN TO YOU TONIGHT, AS MR. LETLER SAID, IT'S BEEN A PROCESSED. THE PROCESS, AS HE MENTIONED, HAS BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE WORKED WITH WHAT WE FINALLY REFERRED TO AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE CPAC. THEY HAVE DONE MUCH OF THE HEAVY LIFTING. WE'VE WORKED WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE'VE WORKED WITH THE CITY COUNCIL TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE BUILT THE CONSENSUS THAT FRISCO CITIZENS APPRECIATE AND WANT IN THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS, BUT THAT'S THE VALUE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE HAVE BUILT IN THE LONGEVITY THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS. WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU TONIGHT. DANIEL HARRISON IS GOING TO GO THROUGH AND ACTUALLY HE HAS ABOUT A 10 OR SO MINUTE PRESENTATION TO SUMMARIZE ALL OF THE INPUT THAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. THEN WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO, THEN, MAYOR IS TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND OF COURSE, ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE OF US. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. WELL, AS MR. LETLER MENTIONED, WE COULDN'T REALLY DO THIS PLAN WITHOUT OUR CONFERENCE OF PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THE CITIZENS INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS TO REALLY DIVE INTO THE ISSUES AND TALK ABOUT ALL THE IMPORTANT THINGS AT THE LEVEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT. OF COURSE, WITH THE P&Z MEMBERS, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, PARKS BOARD, ISD MEMBERS, AND OTHER INTERESTED CITIZENS. AND WHEN WE HAD OUR MEETINGS, WE HAD INTERACTIVE MEETINGS WHERE WE HAD SMALL GROUP EXERCISES. WE ALSO HAD LARGE GROUP EXERCISES, WHERE WE WERE REALLY ABLE TO DIVE INTO THE KEY ISSUES. WE ALSO HAD OUR WORKSHOPS THAT WE MET WITH, OF COURSE, STARTING THE PROJECT. WE MET WITH THE COUNCIL TO HELP DEFINE SOME OF THOSE KEY ISSUES. WE WORKED WITH STAFF, AND WE HAD A STAFF WORKSHOP TO GO THROUGH THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. WE MET WITH THE EDC, AND THEN, OF COURSE, THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT, WE'D HAVE DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS WITH YOU TO HELP GET YOUR INPUT AS WE WENT THROUGH THE PROJECT. WE DID HAVE OPEN HOUSES AS WELL, SO ONE TO KICK OFF THE PROJECT. HERE'S JUST A PICTURE THAT WE CAN SEE OF SOME OF THE CITIZEN HANDWRITTEN COMMENTS THAT WERE ON THE BOARD TO HELP US REALLY START OFF THE PROJECT AND HELP ONCE AGAIN GET INPUT ON THE ISSUES. AT THE END OF THE PROJECT, WHAT WE DID, WE HAD ANOTHER OPEN HOUSE SO PEOPLE COULD SEE THE RESULTS OF ALL THE CPAC WORK AND TO GET ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. HERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF PICTURES THAT WE HAVE FROM OUR DIFFERENT OPEN HOUSES, WHICH WERE WELL ATTENDED. WIDE RANGE OF AGES AND PEOPLE ATTENDING THE DIFFERENT MEETINGS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE REALLY WANTED TO DO WITH THE PLAN WAS TO TELL THE STORY OF FRISCO. WE HAVE GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN THE DOCUMENT THAT REALLY FOCUS ON OUR CULTURE AND PEOPLE, DEVELOPMENT AND SIGN, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY, JOBS AND FINANCE, AND REALLY REGIONALISM AND INFLUENCE THAT FRISCO HAS IN THE REGION. WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS TO HELP TELL THAT STORY. SO, OF COURSE, WE CAN'T TELL THAT STORY WITHOUT TELLING GROWTH IN THE CITY AND WHAT AMAZING CHANGE CITIZENS HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER THE YEARS. WE ALSO FOCUSED IN ON OUR LOCAL CONTEXT, SO WE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF PROJECTS, EXCITING THINGS, AMAZING THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING INSIDE THE CITY, AND WE COULD TALK ABOUT THAT. THEN WE START TO ZOOM OUT AND WE LOOK AT OUR REGION, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC AND GROWING REGIONS IN THE COUNTRY, SO WE CAN SEE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS ABOUT THAT, BUT THEN ALSO WE CAN LOOK AT OUR STATE, WHICH OUR STATE ONCE AGAIN IS ONE OF THE TOP STATES IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITH JOBS MOVING HERE, BUSINESSES MOVING HERE. WE ADDRESS THAT CONTEXT BECAUSE IF WE LOOK AT OUR TEXAS TRIANGLE HERE, WE HAVE HOUSTON AND THE AUSTIN SAN ANTONIO REGION, WHICH IS ALSO HAVING AND EXPERIENCING PHENOMENAL GROWTH AS WELL. THEN WHEN WE GOT INTO THE CHAPTERS, WE REALLY WANTED TO CONTINUE THE STORYTELLING ELEMENT. SO THIS IS JUST HOW WE DO A FOR PARADE SPREAD AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH CHAPTER TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE TO THIS WOULD BE THE LAND USE CHAPTER. YOU CAN SEE THE CITIZENS HANDWRITTEN COMMENTS IN THERE. THESE WERE TAKEN FROM THE OPEN HOUSE. THEN WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS HIGHLIGHT ALL THE KEY THINGS THAT WE GOT OUT OF THE CITIZEN INPUT AND HOW THAT WAS PUT INTO ACTION. WE DETAIL DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE ELEMENTS [00:40:03] HERE SO YOU TAKE JUST A FEW SECONDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, AND WE HAVE THESE ICONS ON THE TOP OF THESE LITTLE DESCRIPTIONS, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE DIFFERENT THINGS, WHERE THESE ARE HAPPENING ARE BEING RECOMMENDED INSIDE THE CITY. THEN, OF COURSE, LOOKING FORWARD, HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE KEY ELEMENTS. WE DO THAT FOR EACH CHAPTER, AND IF YOU ZOOM OUT AND YOU CAN REALLY JUST SEE THIS IS A FOUR PAGE SPREAD THAT YOU REALLY GET A GOOD PICTURE OF LIKE, HOW ARE WE REALLY DOING THIS? YES, WE CAN DIVE INTO THE 276 ACTION ITEMS AND LOOK AT ALL THE DETAIL, BUT WE REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE JUST TO GET A QUICK GLIMPSE AND REALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'RE GOING AS A CITY. DIFFERENT CHAPTERS WE HAVE IN THERE, OF COURSE, WE TALK ABOUT LAND USE, IS VERY IMPORTANT. COURSE FOR OUR ZONING AND DEFINING THE FUTURE ELEMENTS OF THE CITY, TRANSPORTATION AVAILABILITY. WE LOOKED AT PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES, HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS, OR HOW THOSE ARE DEVELOPING OVER TIME. THEN, OF COURSE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AS JOHN MENTIONED, HAD DIFFERENT MEETINGS, MET WITH THE EDC AS WELL TO BRING THEM UP TO SPEED AND TO GET THEIR INPUT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WAS WE HAD A WORKSHOP WITH YOU ON DECEMBER 5TH, AND THAT WAS A JOINT WORKSHOP WITH THE PNC AND THE CPAC TO DISCUSS KEY ITEMS AND GET CONSENSUS ON THE PLAN. AT THAT MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT JUST A FEW THINGS. WE HAD FROM OUR JUNE WORKSHOP, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE STORYTELLING AND ENHANCING THAT. THEN AT OUR LAST WORKSHOP, WE DECIDED TO TALK ABOUT EMPHASIZING THE WHY. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS MORE? WHAT WE'VE DONE IS ADDRESS THOSE, AND SO WE REALLY FOCUSING ON EXPLAINING THE WHY SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND THEN ADDING THE HOW, AND HOW ARE WE DOING THAT AND WHERE ARE WE GOING? WE HAD A TEXT TO EXPLAIN THIS SO PEOPLE COULD SEE THAT IN DIFFERENT CHAPTERS, BUT ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT YOU COULD SEE HERE IS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY INPUT, THIS IS THE WHY. THIS IS WHAT WE HEARD. THE CHAPTER OBJECTIVE IS, HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING THIS IN DIFFERENT ELEMENTS? OTHER THINGS THAT WE TOUCHED ON WAS 3D MAPPING, ADDING A 3D MAP IN THERE SO WE COULD GET A LITTLE BIT MORE VISUAL ABOUT SOME OF THE DENSITIES OF DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY. WE ALSO WORKED ON OUR PLACE TYPES, OUR FUTURE LANE USE CATEGORIES. WE DID UPDATE SOME OF THE NAMES BASED UPON OUR DECEMBER 5TH WORKSHOP. WE ADDED THE NEW BUSINESS PARK DESCRIPTION. THINK ABOUT THE STAR BUSINESS PARK. THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT WE WERE MODIFYING THAT TO BE BASED UPON OUR CONVERSATION. WE TALKED ABOUT MODERN INDUSTRIES AS NOT SAYING INDUSTRIAL NON RESIDENTIAL USES, LOOKING AT MORE MODERN INDUSTRIES LIKE WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN STAR BUSINESS PARK. HERE'S JUST A DESCRIPTION THAT WE HAD UPDATED. YOU CAN SEE THAT MODERN INDUSTRIES AT THE VERY BOTTOM NEXT TO THAT PIE CHART, TAKING ABOUT 30% OF THAT NON RESIDENTIAL LAND USE. OTHER MINOR AMENDMENTS THAT WE MADE IN THERE, TALKING ABOUT THE PROJECTIONS, POPULATION PROJECTIONS FOR THE CITY. WE HAVE THOSE ENTITLED AS OUR TITLED AS REGULATORY AND VISIONARY, JUST UPDATING THOSE TO ENTITLED. WHAT WOULD ZONING ALLOW? THEN THEORETICALLY, IF THESE LANE USES REDEVELOP AND DEVELOP AS WE'VE SEEN ON THE FUTURE LANE USE PLAN, WHAT COULD THAT LOOK LIKE? THEN WE DID ADD, AT THE END OF THAT MEETING, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT, WE HAVE THE MIXED USE CENTER CONCEPT, THAT PURPLE THAT WE SEE ON THE FUTURE LANE USE PLAN, KNOWING THAT ALONG 121, THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME ADDITIONAL STUDY THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE DONE TO ADD MORE CLARITY TO HOW THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. WE DID ON THE FINAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS, JUST STATING SOME OF THE FACTS AND FIGURES THERE THAT IF THE FUTURE LANE USE DEVELOPS AS SHOWN ON THE FUTURE LANE USE PLAN, THERE WOULD BE A $360 MILLION NET FISCAL IMPACT. THAT WOULD BE A POSITIVE IMPACT RATHER THAN A NEGATIVE IMPACT WOULD BE, SPENDING MORE IN EXPENSES THAN WHAT THE TAX REVENUE WOULD BE BRINGING IN. THEN ALSO, JUST FOLLOWING UP ON SOME OF THE CPAC RECOMMENDATIONS. WHAT WE DID WAS, WE ADDED HERE THIS WAS TALKING ABOUT THE HEADING WENT AWAY, BUT THE TRANSIT STATIONS, THOSE LOCATIONS. THAT'S REALLY JUST ALIGNING WITH WHAT THE REGIONAL PLANNING IS AS FAR AS WHERE THOSE POTENTIALLY COULD BE, JUST ALIGNING WITH THAT STUDY. WE OUTLINED THE CITY'S CURRENT MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT HISTORY AND HOW THAT HAS ALL TRANSITIONED OVER TIME. SO JUST THAT PROVIDES THE READER ADDITIONAL CONTEXT WITH THAT INFORMATION. AND THEN DOCUMENTING OUR LANE USE POLICIES. THAT WAS ONE ADDITIONAL APENDENCIES, WE ADD SO WE CAN DOCUMENT THE LONGSTANDING LANE USE POLICIES THAT HAVE SERVED THE CITY VERY WELL OVER OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE SEEN TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THOSE FORWARD AND TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THOSE LIKE WE DO IN ZONING CASES AND THOSE ELEMENTS. WITH THAT, NEXT STEPS, AS WE MENTIONED, IS JUST THE PUBLIC HEARING, [00:45:01] AND THEN WE'LL BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. COUNCIL THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOVED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOTION BY BILL. >> SECOND. >> SECOND, BY TAMMY ON FAVOR. >> AYE. >> THIS IS 50, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. >> WE DO HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. WE'LL START FIRST WITH RICK FLETCHER. >> HI. RICK FLETCHER, CHAIR OF THE FRISCO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE REFERRED TO AS CPAC. I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF AGENDA ITEM 33, AND TO SHARE THE RESIDENTS PERSPECTIVE IN THE PROCESS OF COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING. WE CAN ATTEST THAT THERE WAS A VERY HIGH DEGREE OF RESIDENT INPUT IN DEVELOPING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT INCLUDED VAST AND WIDE INPUT FROM RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE FRISCO COMMUNITY. RESIDENTS, WE HAVE HEARD YOUR VOICES. THIS PLAN IS BASED ON YOUR INPUT. IN 2023, CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED 27 FRISCO RESIDENTS TO SERVE ON THE CPAC TEAM. THANK YOU. THESE RESIDENTS ARE SPREAD ACROSS FOUR GEOGRAPHIC QUADRANTS OF OUR CITY, INCLUDING RESIDENTS FROM CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND FROM FISD AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE II, IN ORDER TO HAVE A BALANCED RESIDENT REPRESENTATION. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS IS NOT NEW TO FRISCO, AS DANIEL AND JOHN HAVE POINTED OUT. OUR FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED IN 1982, FOLLOWED BY 1991, 2000, 2006, 2015, AND NOW 2025 IS OUR SIXTH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. EACH NEW KNOWLEDGE GAINED THROUGH OUR EXPERIENCE, IMPLEMENTING THE PRIOR PLAN, AS WELL AS ADDRESSING OUR CITY'S CHANGING NEEDS WITH NEW POLICIES, GUIDELINES, AND STRATEGIES. HOW MANY OF OUR CITY ANCESTORS COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT FRISCO WITH HAVING A MASSIVE 69 SQUARE MILES OF LAND WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES, THAT LAND WOULD BECOME SUCH A SCARCE COMMODITY IN 2025 WITH ONLY 13% OF OUR CITY'S LAND STILL AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. BEGINNING ON MAY 1, 2023, WE HAVE HELD 22 CPAC TEAM MEETINGS AND OPEN HOUSES. SOME OF THESE MEETINGS WERE HELD AS JOINT SESSIONS WITH CITY COUNCIL, P&Z, EDC, CDC, AND PLAY FRISCO. OTHER THAN THE CPAC OPEN HOUSES AND HOA ROUND TABLES, WE ALSO COLLECTED CITIZEN INPUT FROM APPROXIMATELY 500 ADDITIONAL FRISCO RESIDENTS THROUGH OUR VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES AS WELL. WE BUILT OUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHAPTERS THROUGH DOZENS OF GROUP BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS. WE WERE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, OR YOU HAVE HEARD IT REFERRED TO AS THE FLUP TO REPLACE THE PREVIOUS 2015 FLUP. WE COLLECTIVELY REDEFINED THE EXISTING FRISCO DEVELOPMENT PLACE TYPES AND THEIR SPECIFIC COMPOSITIONS. THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTCOME OF THE FLUP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WAS TO DETERMINE WHAT ARE THE BEST USES FOR THE REMAINING 13% OF FRISCO'S UNDEVELOPED LAND. ALSO FOR THE NOW EMERGING REDEVELOPMENT OF FRISCO'S PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED LAND TOO, HALL PARK'S CURRENT REDEVELOPMENT IS A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE OF THIS. BASED ON THESE PLACE TYPE REVISIONS, ONE OF THE OUTCOMES THAT THE CITIZENS ASKED THE MOST ABOUT IS THE UPDATED FRISCO BUILD OUT POPULATION PROJECTIONS. THE CORE FLUP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TOOK A YEAR OUT OF OUR 22 MONTH TIMELINE. WE, FOR THE LONGEST TIME, HAD TWO WORKING MODEL VERSIONS OF THE FLUP. WE HAD, ON ONE HAND, THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDED FLUP AND ALSO THE CPAC RECOMMENDED FLUP PRESENTED AT EACH MEETING. FINALLY, A FEW MONTHS AGO AT A CPAC WORK SESSION, WE CAME TO A CONSENSUS OF A SINGULAR FINAL FLUP THAT WAS BEST FOR FRISCO'S OVERALL DEVELOPMENT. A TRUE BALANCE IN PARTNERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL PLANNING ADVICE FROM THE CONSULTANTS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND CPAC RESIDENT INPUT. WE HAVE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE FRISCO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE FROM DIRECTOR JOHN LETLER, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF JONATHAN HUBBARD, AND PLANNING MANAGER CHRIS LARD WERE PARAMOUNT TO OUR SUCCESS. WE THANK CHRIS FOR HIS ADAPT PROJECT MANAGEMENT, KEEPING THE CPAC TIMELINE ON TRACK AND THANKS TO THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF INVOLVED, AS WELL FROM OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS, SUCH AS TRAFFIC ENGINEERING. THANK YOU ALSO TO FREESE AND NICHOLS CONSULTANTS, WHO SO WELL ILLUSTRATED THE FRISCO STORY, MAKING THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOCUMENT MORE READABLE BY A MUCH LARGER SWATH OF FRISCO RESIDENTS. WE APPRECIATE THEIR PROJECT MANAGER DANIEL HARRISON, ALONG WITH CONNOR ROBERTS, FOR TAKING THE LEAD IN BUILDING OUT THE 180 PAGE PLAN DOCUMENTED ON OUR TEAM'S DECISIONS. THE CONSULTANTS HELPED LIFT THE PRESENCE OF THIS DOCUMENT FROM NOT BEING JUST VIEWED AS A LAND PLANNING GUIDELINES USED PRIMARILY BY CITY STAFF AND INCOMING DEVELOPERS, BUT TO ALSO BECOMING AN INTERESTING, EASY TO READ DOCUMENT FOR OUR MANY RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTION OF FRISCO. IN THE ENSUING YEARS, THE CPAC TEAM AND DEVELOPMENT STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO MEET ON OCCASION TO REVIEW THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WE MOVE FORWARD. [00:50:02] ADJUSTING PRIORITIES AS NEEDED. WE'VE HAD TWO WE'VE HAD OTHER DFAA CITIES REACH OUT TO US FOR ADVICE AS THEY ARE NOW EMBARKING ON THEIR OWN COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. FRISCO HAS SET AN ADMIRABLE MODEL FOR OTHER CITIES ACROSS TEXAS TO FOLLOW, SOMETHING FOR ALL OF US TO BE PROUD OF. THE CPAC TEAM IS ASKING CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TONIGHT. THANK YOU, MAYOR CHENEY AND COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >> THANK YOU, RICK. NEXT, WE'LL HAVE LYNN SEGERO. >> I'M LYNN SANEY SEGERO. I LIVE AT 46 19 PINE VALLEY, FRISCO, TEXAS. AND I HAD THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS VICE CHAIR OF OUR CPAC. OF COURSE, THE PLEASURE WORKING WITH RICK FLETCHER, OUR LOCAL HISTORIAN, ALSO AN EAGLE SCOUT. HE'S REALLY A GO TO PERSON FOR EVERYTHING IN FRISCO. I REALLY HAVE TO THANK OF COURSE, FRISCO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. MAYOR, COUNCIL, AND LEADERSHIP IN GENERAL. [NOISE] EXCUSE ME. AS IN MY RESEARCH, I WOULD LOOK AT OTHER CITIES, AND WHAT I RECOGNIZED IS MANY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS WERE INTERNAL. THEY DIDN'T REINVEST IN THE PUBLIC TO JOIN WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING SO I THINK THAT'S A BIG PLUS FOR US INVOLVING, YOU KNOW, THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO. OF COURSE, I SERVED IN THE 2015 AND SO I DID A THEN AND NOW, SO BACK THEN IN 2015, WE HAD 22 CPAC MEMBERS. HOWEVER, ONLY TWO WERE WOMEN. >> JUST A LITTLE POINT OUT. BUT NOW IN 2025, WE HAVE 24 CPAC MEMBERS, MUCH MORE BALANCED WITH 12 WOMEN SERVING. BACK THEN, WE WERE REALLY KNOWN AS SPORTS CITY, AND STILL ARE. BUT NOW, I THINK WE'RE MUCH MORE WELL-ROUNDED WITH SOME WONDERFUL ARTS AND PARKS DESIGN. I THINK THE POPULATION BACK THEN WAS 152, NOW WE'RE AT 237, SO IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. BACK THEN WE HAD 64% LAND TO BE DEVELOPED. THIS SEA PACK, IT STARTED WHAT? AT 16, AND NOW IT'S 13. I ASKED MYSELF, I SAID, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO. THERE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LAND LEFT, AND PRETTY MUCH ALL OF IT'S ALREADY OWNED AND ALREADY ZONED AND I CAN HEAR JONGLIN. REMEMBER THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING DOESN'T CHANGE ZONING, BUT IT PREDICTS THE FUTURE USAGE TO A CERTAIN POINT. I JUST HAVE TO SAY THE FIRST MEETING, I THINK WAS PRETTY PIVOTAL BECAUSE FREESE AND NICHOLS, FIRST THING THEY DID WAS HAVE THIS SWOT, THE STRENGTH, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITY. THEY RIPPED THE BAND AID, BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE, HERE'S EVERYBODY JUST THROWING OUT, WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S RIGHT? THERE WAS A LOT MORE RIGHT THAN WRONG, NO DOUBT. BUT THEY WERE AMAZING AND JUST CULMINATING ALL THE INFORMATION, ALL THE COMMENTS, AND HAVING THESE WONDERFUL REPORTS. THEN I THINK OUR SECOND MEETING WAS ACTUALLY A JOINT MEETING WITH MAYOR, COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER. IT WAS WONDERFUL LISTENING TO THEIR POINT OF VIEW, AS WELL AS CREATING THE ASPIRATION. THAT WAS SOMETHING REALLY DIFFERENT THAT REALLY KICKED OFF OUR MEETING FROM THE BEGINNING. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE AFTER. THIS WAS AN AMAZING TWO YEARS OF COLLABORATION, AND WE HAVE OTHER MEMBERS FROM OUR CPAC HERE THAT WANT TO SPEAK. I GUESS ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. WE'RE ASKING CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT OUR 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, LYNN. NEXT, WE'LL HAVE WARREN RUIZ. >> I AM WARREN RUIZ. 11333 [INAUDIBLE] FRISCO, TEXAS. MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR APPOINTING ME TO CPAC. THANK YOU FOR APPOINTING ME TO P&Z. THIS IS A WELL-PUT TOGETHER PLAN. WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING ON THIS PLAN. MANY HOURS. IT WAS ARDUOUS AT TIMES, LITTLE HEATED, MAYBE, EVEN. BUT IT TURNED OUT WELL. I THINK RICK MENTIONED CHRIS, THAT'S THE MAN RIGHT THERE. [00:55:05] JOHN, CHRIS IS THE MAN. [LAUGHTER] WE'RE ASKING COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR TO ADOPT THE NEW CPAC. THANK YOU ALL. >> THANK YOU, WARREN. NEXT, WE HAVE JEANNE PATTERSON. >> GOOD EVENING. FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON CPAC THIS YEAR. THIS IS MY THIRD CPAC. MY FIRST ONE WAS IN 2000, 25 YEARS AGO. FRISCO ONLY HAD 25% OF ITS LANDMASS DEVELOPED AT THAT TIME SO WE REALLY HAD AN OPEN CANVAS TO BEGIN WITH. TO SEE 25 YEARS LATER WE ONLY HAVE 13% LEFT, IT'S JUST AMAZING. BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, BY TOUR OF DUTY, SO TO SAY, IN 2000 AND BEING SUCH A LONG-TERM RESIDENT, I'VE REALLY SEEN THE VALUE OF HAVING A PLAN LIKE THIS. I WITNESSED BRISCOE GROW, AND IT'S JUST BEEN AMAZING. WE'VE BEEN SO BLESSED TO HAVE GREAT COUNCILS, CITY STAFF. GEORGE WAS AMAZING. WEST ARE FILLING BIG SHOES, I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT. THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE JOHN AND HIS TEAM, AND WE'VE JUST BEEN VERY BLESSED. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS 2040 PLAN, I THINK THE CPAC GROUP WAS REALLY GOOD. WE WORKED WELL TOGETHER, AND I'M EXCITED FOR WHAT WE HAVE CREATED. I HOPE YOU'LL ADOPT THIS LATEST PLAN. THIS PLAN IS TRULY INSPIRATIONAL FOR OUR FUTURE. THANK YOU AGAIN, AND I HOPE YOU'LL PASS IT. >> THANK YOU, JEANNE. LASTLY, WE HAVE STEPHANIE WAGNER. >> GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS STEPHANIE WAGNER. I AM THE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION FOR THE FRISCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING THE EDC AS OUR ORGANIZATION'S REPRESENTATIVE ON THE COMMITTEE, AND I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE DO SUPPORT THIS PLAN AS PRESENTED TO YOU THIS EVENING. I DO WANT TO COMMEND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM AND THE CONSULTANTS THAT PUT THIS PLAN TOGETHER. EARLY IN THE PROCESS, THEY REACHED OUT TO OUR TEAM AND TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE STRATEGIES THAT WE HAD AS AN ORGANIZATION AS THEY WERE PUTTING TOGETHER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT'S STRATEGY AND COMPONENTS OF THIS PLAN. WE FEEL THAT THIS PLAN PAIRS VERY WELL WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY. WE FEEL THERE ARE COMPONENTS IN THIS PLAN THAT WILL HELP US WITH INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL BUSINESS ATTRACTION, BUSINESS RETENTION AND GROWTH, INNOVATION, MARKETING, AND REDEVELOPMENT OF ASSETS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY THAT ARE AGING. WE DO FEEL THAT THIS WILL GIVE FRISCO A COMPETITIVE EDGE, AND A VERY SHARP COMPETITIVE EDGE FOR YEARS TO COME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CONSIDERATION. >> COUNCIL, THAT WAS THE LAST CARD WE HAD. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION, PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOTION BY BILL. >> SECOND. >> SECOND BY TAMMY. ALL IN FAVOR. >> AYE. >> THAT PASSES, 5:0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS. I'LL JUST KIND OF BEGIN WITH A FEW COMMENTS. THE FIRST IS A BIG GIANT THANK YOU FOR OUR CITIZEN-LED COMMITTEE THAT SPENT TWO YEARS OF PERSONAL TIME. THIS IS A BIG PROJECT, IT'S A BIG TASK, AND IT'S A HEAVY LIFT. I KNOW I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL THAT WE APPRECIATE THE INVESTMENT THAT ALL OF YOU MADE. IT WAS A LOT OF HOURS. BUT IT'S A GREAT STORY BECAUSE THIS IS HOW REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. IT'S NOT JUST THE SEVEN OF US TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT WE WANT THE CITY OF FRISCO TO BE. THE FRISCO STORY HAS BEEN BUILT ON GENERATIONS OF CITIZEN-DRIVEN CPAC COMMITTEES, WORKING WITH CITY STAFF, ALIGNING WITH THE EXISTING COUNCIL AND SPEAKING TO THE PUBLIC AND GETTING 500 RESPONSES FROM THE PUBLIC. THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THIS PLAN IS A SHARED OWNERSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS NOT OUR VISION OF WHAT WE WANT FRISCO TO BE AND BECOME, IT'S YOUR VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT FRISCO TO BE AND BECOME. THAT HASN'T WAVERED OVER THE TWO DECADES THAT I'VE BEEN SEEING THESE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. [01:00:04] THE 2000 PLAN WAS AN ASPIRATIONAL PLAN, I HOPE WE CAN GET THERE. THEN THE 2009 WAS LIKE, WE'RE STARTING TO GET THERE, AND THIS LAST ONE IS, HOW DO WE FINISH? HOW DO WE SPRINT TO THE END? MAKE SURE THAT WE ROUND OUT AS A CITY? LEN, I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS AS FAR AS JUST THE REPRESENTATIVE NATURE OF HOW THE CONVERSATIONS WERE DIFFERENT. I REMEMBER YOU TELLING ME WHEN I ASKED YOU SPECIFICALLY, DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THIS, YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, WHAT'S LEFT TO DO? I'M LIKE, THERE'S A LOT LEFT TO DO. HOW DO WE WANT TO ROUND OUT AS A CITY? IT'S LEANING INTO THE ARTS OF CULTURE. IT'S LEANING INTO THE DIFFERENT DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS OF THIS COMMUNITY. THIS COMMUNITY HAS CHANGED A LOT JUST IN THE LAST DECADE. THIS IS CASTING THE DIE AND CASTING THE VISION FOR WHAT FRISCO WILL BE IN 2040. I KNOW, AGAIN, I SPEAK FOR MY COLLEAGUES THAT IT'S JUST AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF IT. IT WILL LIVE WELL BEYOND ALL OF US IN OUR TENURE SITTING UP HERE, AND A LOT OF CITY STAFFS HAS WORKED ON IT, BUT IT'S GOING TO SET THE TONE FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. I KNOW I HAD EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE MY VOICE HEARD AND SHARED IN THE DOCUMENT AND SHARED THROUGH THE VARIOUS MEETINGS. BUT, FOR THE MOST PART, EVEN BY THE TIME IT GOT TO CITY COUNCIL, WE WERE JUST FINE-TUNING THINGS AS FAR AS THE BIG HEAVY LIFTING THAT YOU ALL HAD ALREADY DONE ON OUR BEHALF. I WISH WE COULD MAKE THIS REQUIRED READING BEFORE ANYONE'S ALLOWED TO FILE FOR OFFICE TO RUN FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CANNOT, BUT FOR ANY CANDIDATES THAT MAY BE LISTENING, PLEASE GO READ EVERY SINGLE PAGE OF THIS DOCUMENT. IT'S NOT JUST THIS DOCUMENT. THIS DOCUMENT WILL ALSO REFERENCE EVERY SUB-MASTER PLAN THAT EXISTS THROUGH THE CITY OF FRISCO THAT WAS ALSO PRODUCED IN THE SAME CITIZEN-DRIVEN MANNER. FROM A PARK AND TRAIL MASTER PLAN TO A DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, YOU NAME IT. EVERY SINGLE INCH OF THIS CITY HAS BEEN MASTER PLAN, HAS BEEN THOUGHT OF, HAS BEEN STUDIED BY DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE. ULTIMATELY, TO GUIDE THE DECISION MAKERS ON INDIVIDUAL NIGHTS WHEN WE'RE CASTING VOTES, TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALWAYS ALIGNING WITH THE VISION OF THIS COMMUNITY. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK, THANK YOU FOR CASTING THE VISION, AND I'M HONORED TO PUT MY NAME ON IT. WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES. >> I THINK THAT WAS WELL SAID, MAYOR. HAVING SAT ON ONE OF THESE IN THE PAST, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH WORK IT IS. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU SPENT ON ALL OF THESE THINGS. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I THINK IT CAME TOGETHER WELL. I THINK WE'RE IN A GOOD SPOT, AND JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR TIME. >> I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE 27 RESIDENTS WHO SERVED ON THE CPAC AS WELL. TAKING THIS TIME OUT OF YOUR LIFE TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE GROWTH AND TRAJECTORY OF THE CITY, I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT, SO IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. AGAIN, THIS TYPE OF PROACTIVE STRATEGIC PLANNING IS WHAT ENABLES FRISCO TO GROW. NOT JUST TO GROW, BUT TO GROW HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE AND BE BALANCED. IT'S NEEDED FOR THE GROWTH THAT WE HAVE YET TO COME. I THINK IT GIVES US A VERY CLEAR BLUEPRINT OF THE WHY AND THE HOW OR FRISCO AND I THINK IT REALLY HELPS TO TELL THE FRISCO STORY. I'LL TELL YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE IS YOU HAVE TACKLED THIS FROM MULTIPLE LENSES WITH MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. I LIKE THE WAY THAT YOU TOOK A VERY STRATEGIC APPROACH TO LOOKING AT THE CITY, USING THINGS LIKE THE SWOT. BECAUSE OFTENTIMES, WE TEND TO EITHER LOOK AT STRENGTHS ONLY OR WE LOOK AT WEAKNESSES ONLY, BUT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO REALLY FORCE US TO LOOK AT BOTH THE STRENGTHS, THE WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND EVEN THREATS THAT COULD HINDER OUR GROWTH. I LOVE THAT YOU WERE STRATEGIC IN THAT WAY. ALSO THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T LOOK JUST INTERNALLY, BUT WE LOOKED AT WHERE WE ARE IN THE NORTH METROPLEX, WE LOOKED AT WHERE WE ARE REGIONALLY, WE LOOKED AT WHERE WE FIT STATEWIDE. WE TOOK A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO JUST LOOKING AT WHERE WE STAND TODAY, NOT IN ISOLATION, BUT IN TOTALITY. ONE OF MY FAVORITE ASPIRATIONAL THEMES THAT YOU PUT IN THE REPORT, AND I LOVED READING THROUGH THIS, WAS GROW TOGETHER AND GROW WISELY. I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO, IS ENSURE THAT WE'RE GROWING COHESIVELY, BUT WE'RE BEING VERY WISE ABOUT HOW WE GROW AS A CITY. AGAIN, I THOUGHT THAT YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OVERALL WITH THE PLAN. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK THAT IT'S ONLY 13% THAT'S LEFT, AND WE CAN SLEEP ON THAT, BUT THE REALITY IS WE CAN'T SLEEP ON THAT 13% THAT'S LEFT. I THINK YOU GUYS PROJECTED AND YOU SHARED A LITTLE BIT THAT, IF WE DEVELOP THE CITY WISELY USING THE PRINCIPLES THAT ARE LAID OUT IN THIS PLAN, WE COULD EXPECT TO SEE ANYWHERE BETWEEN A $900 MILLION INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAX, [01:05:06] A $250 MILLION INCREASE IN SALES TAX, AND APPROXIMATELY 29,000 JOBS. THAT TELLS ME WE CAN'T SLEEP ON THIS 13% THAT WE HAVE LEFT. BUT OVERALL, VERY WELL DONE, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GET INPUT FROM THE CITIZENS, GET INPUT FROM THE CITY STAFF, GET INPUT FROM THE COUNCIL, TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE GROWING, AND AGAIN, THAT WE'RE GROWING TOGETHER AND WE'RE GROWING [NOISE] THANK YOU. >> I WANTED TO JUST THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PROCESS OF LISTENING TO THE RESIDENTS. I THINK YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT STAGES, AND ALSO TO COUNCIL, AS WELL AS YOU WERE TAKING DIRECTION ON THE THINGS THAT WE FELT NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED. IT'S HARD TO GET SEVEN PEOPLE TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT, SO TO GET OVER 20 PEOPLE TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT PLUS STAFF, IT'S MONUMENTAL. THE PRODUCT THAT YOU CREATED IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON A SHELF. WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT IT, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. JEANNE, HOW INCREDIBLE THAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO THIS SINCE 2000. THAT LONGEVITY OF THE VISION OF WHAT FRISCO HAS BECOME. I JUST THINK IT'S SPECIAL THAT YOU AND LYNN, YOU GET TO HAVE YOUR SECOND GO AROUND, AND I THINK STEVE COHEN TOO, SEVERAL PEOPLE, RICK. JUST THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT OF OUR CITIZENS IN OUR CITY, THAT SPEAKS THROUGH THIS DOCUMENT AS WELL. THANK YOU ALL. >> JUST AN AMAZING PIECE OF WORK. LOVE THE GRANULAR DETAIL, THE INTERACTION THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HAD WITH, AS HAS BEEN SAID, WITH STAFF, WITH COUNCIL, WITH OUR CITIZENS, AND EVEN WITH DEVELOPERS. SOME OF OUR DEVELOPERS, MORE PROMINENT DEVELOPERS HERE SAY, WOW, HOW REFRESHING TO BE IN A CITY WHERE I CAN PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL SOMEONE WHO'S ON A BOARD OR WHO'S ON A COUNCIL OR A STAFF MEMBER AND HAVE A REAL LIVE PERSON ANSWER THE PHONE, AND THEN BE ABLE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS AND HEAR WHAT MY CONCERNS ARE, AND THEN SEE THEM MANIFEST IN THIS DOCUMENT OVER TIME? EVERYONE FROM FOLKS THAT ARE HERE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THEIR LIFE, FRISCO LAKES TO STARWOOD TO PLANTATION TO STONE BRIER TO BROOKSIDE TO THE PRESERVE TO ALL FOUR CORNERS OF FRISCO, AS WE LIKE TO SAY, WE WERE ABLE TO TOUCH ON THAT. OF WHAT'S OLD, WHAT'S NEW, WHAT WORKED, WHAT DIDN'T, AND BE ABLE TO HAVE A DIALOGUE ON THAT WITH THE IDEA OF BEING ON THIS CURVE OF CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT, AND HOW CAN WE STILL MAKE THINGS BETTER, EVEN THOUGH THERE MIGHT ONLY BE JUST A TINY LITTLE PIECE LEFT? THE TIME AND THE TALENT THAT EVERYONE POURED INTO THIS IS TRULY REMARKABLE, IT'S GOTTEN BETTER. AS THE MAYOR SAID, EVERY YEAR, WE'VE DONE THESE. THEY'VE JUST MULTIPLIED IN A QUANTITATIVE WAY ON THEMSELVES. YES, MA'AM, I APPLAUD THAT YOU HUNG IN THERE. I TURNED TO TAMMY AND I SAID, WAIT, DID I HEAR THIS RIGHT? HAS SHE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 25 YEARS? THAT'S REMARKABLE, AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ANYONE WHO IS BRAND NEW TO THIS PROCESS AND HAS NEVER SERVED ON A BOARD OR COMMISSION BEFORE IN ANY CAPACITY AND FOUND THEMSELVES ON THE COMP PLAN. BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF YOU REACHED OUT TO THOSE OF US HERE ON COUNCIL AND SAID, WOW, THANK YOU, WE HAD NO IDEA. NOW YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER BATCH OF CITIZENS THAT ARE OUT THERE AS ADVOCATES FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO WITH A FAR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS WORK. THANK YOU AGAIN VERY MUCH. >> I GET TO GO LAST. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID, I APPRECIATE IT. I THINK IT'S REALLY REMARKABLE THAT FRISCO IS A CITY WHERE WE CAN GET 27 PEOPLE TO DEDICATE TWO YEARS OF THEIR LIVES TO PUT TOGETHER A DOCUMENT THIS DETAILED AND THIS HIGH QUALITY. I THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING THAT. I KNOW THAT YOU PROBABLY HAD SOME LONG DAYS AND MAY HAVE SEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS WHILE YOU WERE PUTTING IT TOGETHER, BUT IT'S A GREAT DOCUMENT. I APPRECIATE THE COMMITMENT TO THE CITY OF FRISCO. >> ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. >> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> MOTION BY BILL. >> SECOND. >> SECOND BY TAMMY. >> ALL IN FAVOR. >> AYE. >> PASSES 5:0. >> WE'LL CLOSE THAT. I FAILED TO MENTION, BUT I'M GLAD RICK AND LEN DID IN RECOGNIZING CHRIS LEONARD, PLANNING MANAGER. HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB IN COORDINATING AND MAKING SURE THE PROJECT STAYED ON TIME. HE DID GOOD. [APPLAUSE] >> RICK AND LYNN, THEIR LEADERSHIP, THAT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HELPING TO MOVE THIS ALONG AS WELL AS THE CONSULTANTS. BUT THIS PLAN IS ONLY AS GOOD AS IF THE STATE INTRUDES ON OUR ABILITY SINCE THERE IS A COUPLE OF BILLS IN AUSTIN NOW THAT WOULD ALLOW TINY LOTS THAT WOULD PREVENT [01:10:04] US FROM ENFORCING OUR ORDINANCE OR COMING UP WITH NEW ONES, AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON A RESPONSE TO THAT. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT. ONE THING WAS IT SENT ME A TAX FLOP, THAT'S FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU ALL. >> THANK YOU, JOHN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. ITEM 34 IS PRESENTATION, [Presentation and acceptance of Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), Auditor's Report, Single Audit Report, and Citizens Financial Report. (Financial Services/MH)] ACCEPTANCE OF FISCAL YEAR 2024 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT, AUDITORS REPORT, SINGLE AUDIT REPORT, AND CITIZENS' FINANCIAL REPORT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MINTA HOVLAND, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES. I AM EXCITED TO PRESENT TO YOU THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AND RELATED REPORTS. OUR AUDITORS, FORVIS MAZARS, MET WITH THE BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE ON FEBRUARY 18TH AND PROVIDED THE REQUIRED AUDITOR COMMUNICATIONS. THIS YEAR SAW CHALLENGES RELATED TO THE GRAND AWARD, WHICH HAS A CORRESPONDING ACTION PLAN BEING IMPLEMENTED IN FISCAL YEAR 2025. THERE WERE NO DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT, AND THE AUDIT WAS OVERALL SUCCESSFUL. FORVIS ISSUED AN UNQUALIFIED OR CLEAN OPINION. THIS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OPINION YOU CAN RECEIVE. IT MEANS THAT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PRESENTED FAIRLY IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS, AND THERE WERE NO ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED BY THE AUDITORS. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2024, WE CAN REPORT THAT ALL CITY FUNDS HAVE A POSITIVE FUND BALANCE, ARE WITHIN BUDGET PROJECTIONS, AND ARE IN OVERALL GOOD FISCAL HEALTH. THE COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AND THE CITIZENS' FINANCIAL REPORT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE UNDER THE FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT PAGE. I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO THANK OUR AUDIT FIRM, FORVIS MAZARS, SPECIFICALLY DAN BARRON AND MEAGAN HOLYFIELD, FOR THEIR WORK TO COMPLETE THIS YEAR'S AUDIT. THEY ARE AN OUTSTANDING TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS WHO PROVIDE EXTENSIVE EXPERTISE AND IMPECCABLE SERVICE. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR OUTSTANDING FINANCE TEAM WITH SPECIAL RECOGNITION TO OUR RECENTLY PROMOTED CONTROLLER, MARY ANNE GALANG, WHO IS HERE WITH US TONIGHT, AND FOR HER WORK ON THE AUDIT, AND THEN BLAINE MORRIS, ACCOUNTING MANAGER, FOR HIS WORK ON THE CITIZENS' FINANCIAL REPORT. WE HAVE AN AMAZING TEAM OF DEDICATED STAFF, WHOSE DAILY COMMITMENT TO THE CITY'S CORE VALUES, POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND INTERNAL CONTROLS ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL AUDIT LIKE THIS EACH YEAR. FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK DERRICK COTTEN AND TANYA ANDERSON FOR THEIR GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP. YOU HAVE THE REPORT, AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR BUDGET AUDIT HAVE ANY COMMENT FOR THE COMMENTS? >> I THINK I MENTIONED IT AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. IT'S AGAIN, JUST INCREDIBLE WORK BY OUR STAFF TO HAVE THIS MANY YEARS OF CLEAN AUDITS COME THROUGH AND ALL OF THE DETAILS BEING DONE RIGHT. THERE WAS ONE ITEM MENTIONED IN THIS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE UPON, BUT THAT'S WHAT AUDITS ARE FOR; IS TO FIND THOSE LITTLE AREAS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE UPON AND MAKE OURSELVES BETTER. BUT OTHERWISE, KUDOS TO THE STAFF, AGAIN. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

(Parks and Recreation/SC)] >> ITEM 38 IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ADOPTING A MASTER PLAN FOR CULTURAL AFFAIRS. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, MAYOR, MICHELLE NORRIS, CULTURAL AFFAIRS MANAGER, PLAY FRISCO. WITH ME TONIGHT IS DR. LYNN OSGOOD FROM CIVIC ARTS, OUR CONSULTANT ON THE CULTURAL AFFAIRS MASTER PLAN. BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO LYNN, I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORY AND HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT. AT THE END OF 2021, STAFF FINALIZED A FIVE-YEAR STAFF-DRIVEN CULTURAL AFFAIRS ROADMAP. THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME IN MARCH OF 2022, AND WE GOT TO WORK VERY QUICKLY ON THAT. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, WE PARTNERED WITH THE AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS TO LAUNCH THE FIRST-EVER ARTS AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY STUDY HERE FOR THE CITY. AS THESE TWO INITIATIVES WERE WRAPPING UP, WE REALIZED THERE WAS A NEED FOR A MORE ROBUST CULTURAL AFFAIRS MASTER PLAN, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PLACED INTO THE BUDGET FOR THE FY 24 YEAR, AND WHICH YOU ALL APPROVED. WE WERE ABLE TO BRING ON CIVIC ARTS IN DECEMBER OF 2023 AND AS WE GOT INTO JANUARY OF 2024, WE LAUNCHED THIS MASTER PLAN WITH A FURY. WE WORKED ON IT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED. [01:20:01] STAFF IS VERY PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE OUTCOME, ESPECIALLY HOW THEY DOVETAIL AND COMPLEMENT THE COMP PLAN, AS WELL AS COUNCIL'S PROGRESS AND MOTION PRIORITIES AND THE PLAN YOUR PLAY MASTER PLAN THAT'S UNDERWAY AS WELL. STAFF WAS VERY APPRECIATIVE OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND GET THEIR ENGAGEMENT IN THIS PROCESS. MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR ARTS AND CULTURE HERE IN THE CITY. LYNN. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. WHAT I WANT TO DO IS JUST GIVE SOME OVERVIEW SLIDES FOR YOURSELF AND FOR THE PUBLIC HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS OF HOW WE CREATED THIS DOCUMENT. AS MICHELLE SAID, THERE WERE NUMEROUS EFFORTS THAT WENT BEFORE THAT LED THEN TO OUR EFFORTS TO CREATE A MASTER PLAN. THIS COMES IN THE CONTEXT OF TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR THE CULTURAL SECTOR WITHIN TEXAS. A RECENT STUDY DONE BY THE TEXAS CULTURAL TRUST SHOWS THAT THERE'S BEEN OVER 63% GROWTH IN THE CULTURAL ECONOMY OF TEXAS OVER THE PAST DECADE, THAT ONE IN 14 JOBS IS CULTURALLY RELATED, AND THAT ONE IN FOUR TOURISTS WHO VISIT DIFFERENT PLACES IN TEXAS DOES SO FOR CULTURAL TOURISM. WE KNOW IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO THE ECONOMY OF TEXAS. WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE ECONOMY OF FRISCO. THERE WERE THREE MAJOR EFFORTS THAT WE TOOK FOR INPUT FOR THE PLAN. THE FIRST ONE WAS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THEN WE DID A SERIES OF MAPS, AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE DOVE A LITTLE DEEPER INTO ECONOMIC DATA. I'LL GO THROUGH THOSE. WE HAD SOME WONDERFUL PUBLIC MEETINGS. TWO BLENDED EVENTS WHICH ARE ALWAYS JOYOUS. WE HAD A NUMBER OF EVENTS AT THE LIBRARY, INCLUDING ONE, WHICH WAS A TWO-DAY EVENT FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN. WE BAITED THE CHILDREN WITH STICKERS AND HAD WONDERFUL CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR PARENTS WHILE THEY MADE ALL SORTS OF COLLAGES. WE HEARD THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER THAT PEOPLE HAD RECENTLY ARRIVED IN FRISCO, THAT THEY LOVE FRISCO, THAT THEY LOVE THE SCHOOLS, THAT THEY ARE SO GLAD TO BE HERE IN SUCH A DIVERSE AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY. THEY FEEL DISCONNECTED AND THEY WANT TO CONNECT TO EACH OTHER THROUGH THE ARTS. THAT'S WHAT WE HEARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I ALSO WANT TO THANK MICHELLE AND STEVEN AND THE STAFF, BECAUSE ONE OF THE ENGAGEMENT THINGS THAT WE DID WAS WE ALSO HAD A HALF-DAY PLANNING EVENT WITH STAFF THEMSELVES, AND THAT WAS A TREMENDOUS MOMENT OF INPUT AND INSIGHT, I THINK FOR ALL OF US, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AS WE WERE GETTING INPUT THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND SURVEYS AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, WE ALSO DID A SET OF MAPS. THIS IS A TRADITIONAL TOOL THAT WE DO TO JUST UNDERSTAND HOW DOES THE CREATIVE ECONOMY PLAY OUT ACROSS THE CITY. AS WE DID THAT, WE LOOKED FOR TRENDS AND TRIED TO MATCH THEM WITH ECONOMIC DATA AND THEN WE WANTED TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER. WE ACTUALLY HIRED A NUMBER OF LOCAL ARTISTS OR PEOPLE THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH THE CULTURAL SECTOR AND WE ASKED THEM, GO OUT AND DO SOME COMMUNITY MAPPING. GO OUT, ASK PEOPLE WHERE AND HOW DO YOU ENGAGE IN CULTURE OR CREATIVITY. IT WAS WONDERFUL AND WE GOT ALL SORTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT I CONSIDER THE SOIL OF THE CREATIVE ECONOMY. WHAT IS IT THAT'S AT THE BASE? MAYBE IT'S NOT YET A THEATER, IT'S NOT YET A NONPROFIT, BUT PEOPLE HAVE BAKING CLUBS, THEY SING IN CHOIRS, THEY HAVE HENNA CLUBS, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, AND WHAT WE FOUND IS THERE IS A TREMENDOUSLY VIBRANT BASE OF CREATIVITY HAPPENING WITHIN THE CITY. WE ALSO FOUND SOMETHING, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I REALLY LOVED. WHEN WE ASKED PEOPLE, WHERE DO YOU ENGAGE IN CULTURE AND CREATIVITY, WHAT WE FOUND WAS THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, PEOPLE IDENTIFIED CITY-SUPPORTED FACILITIES. THAT'S RARE. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY OF FRISCO SHOULD REALLY TAKE PRIDE IN BECAUSE IN MOST CITIES WHERE WE ASKED THIS QUESTION, PEOPLE ARE IN THEIR KITCHEN, THEY'RE IN A RESTAURANT, [NOISE] BUT HERE IN FRISCO, PEOPLE IDENTIFY THE THING THAT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THEIR LIVES WITH PLACES THAT YOU ALL SUPPORT AND STAFF THROUGHOUT EVERY DAY. THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK THAT'S VERY SPECIAL AND SURPRISED NO ONE. WE ALSO DID SOME ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, WHERE WE LOOKED AT JOBS AND OCCUPATIONS, AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SAW VERY STRONG GROWTH WITHIN FRISCO. [01:25:01] ONE STATISTIC THAT STOOD OUT THAT I THINK IS ILLUSTRATIVE IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT JOBS AND OCCUPATIONS, JUST [NOISE] USHERS AND TICKET TAKERS, YOU SAW A 200% GROWTH IN 2022. THAT'S REALLY TREMENDOUS. THAT SAYS THAT SOMETHING IS MOVING WITHIN THE CULTURAL ECONOMY. EVERYTHING LOOKED GREAT. THERE WAS ONE RED FLAG. THE RED FLAG THAT WE SAW WAS THAT WHEN YOU LOOKED AT NONPROFIT SECTOR REVENUE, AND WE LOOKED AT COMPARISON CITIES. THIS WAS GALVESTON, CORPUS CHRISTI, DENTON, MCKINNEY, THE CITY OF FRISCO WAS LOWER. THAT WAS A RED FLAG. WE SAID, LET'S HOLD THAT. I ASK YOU, JUST HOLD THAT BECAUSE WE CAN EXPLAIN THAT. WE'LL EXPLAIN THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. >> FROM ALL THE INPUT, WE CREATED A VISION AND VALUES AND GOALS THAT REALLY FED THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE PLAN. THE VISION TO CULTIVATE A DYNAMIC, INCLUSIVE, RESILIENT CULTURAL LANDSCAPE FOR FRISCO, THAT AND THROUGH STRATEGIC SUPPORT BY THE CITY, BY STAFF, AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, SHOW A COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY. I THINK MICHELLE AND I ALSO HAD ANOTHER MOMENT WHERE WE LOOKED AT THE VISIONS AND THE VALUES THAT WE HEARD THROUGH ALL THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. THEN WE LOOKED AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE LOOKED AT THE PRIORITIES OF CITY, AND WE SAW A BEAUTIFUL ALIGNMENT. IT WAS ALIGNMENT AROUND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND INNOVATION AND REINVESTMENT AND BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT AND HERITAGE. ALL OF THAT CAME TOGETHER IN WHAT WE WERE HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC, WHAT WE WERE SEEING IN BEST PRACTICES NATIONALLY, AND HOW IT CAME TOGETHER IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS. THE KEY THEMES THAT WE SAW EMERGE WERE ARTS AND HEALTH. THIS IDEA THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE ARTS OVER HERE AND THE HEALTH SECTOR OVER HERE, BUT THAT ARTS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR WELL BEING. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HEARD PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HERE, BUT WE ALSO KNOW NATIONALLY THAT THIS IS THE WAY THAT THE ART SECTOR IS BEGINNING TO TALK ABOUT ITSELF. THAT CAN REALLY BE DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS. PEOPLE HERE IN FRISCO TALKED ABOUT ARTS AS SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY WANT TO CONNECT TO EACH OTHER THROUGH THE ARTS, THROUGH FESTIVALS, THROUGH MUSIC, THROUGH DANCE. THIS IS HOW THEY WANT TO MEET EACH OTHER. THIS IS HOW THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO KNOW EACH OTHER. THIS IS HOW THEY WANT TO GROW AS A COMMUNITY. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE IDEA OF THE MISSING MIDDLE. YOU KNOW THIS TERM THROUGH HOUSING. YOU KNOW THAT IN HOUSING, AS CITIES TRY TO DEVELOP HOUSES OR HOUSING STOCK FOR RESIDENTS THAT VERY OFTEN THERE'S LARGE TOWERS, AND THERE'S SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES. IT'S REALLY HARD TO BUILD OUT THAT FULL STOCK OF DUPLEXES AND TRIPLEXES AND QUADS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR SO MANY PEOPLE. FRISCO IS VERY SIMILAR IN THEIR CULTURAL ECONOMY. IT'S THAT NONPROFIT SECTOR. USUALLY, IN A CULTURAL ECONOMY, YOU HAVE A FEW LARGE INSTITUTIONS, A LOT OF LITTLE GUYS, AND THEN A ROBUST NONPROFIT SECTOR THAT CAN REALLY HELP WITH THE DAILY LIFE OF GIVING CLASSES TO KIDS, OF HAVING SMALL THEATER PERFORMANCES, OF HAVING GALLERY EXHIBITS, OF FOSTERING BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING. THAT DOESN'T EXIST SO MUCH IN FRISCO. AS I SEE IT, AND AS WE LOOKED AND HEARD FROM PEOPLE AND TALKED WITH PEOPLE, WE CAN REALLY SAY IT'S BECAUSE FRISCO HAS GROWN SO FAST. IT'S NORMAL. IT'S NATURAL. BUT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM ALSO HELPED US TO REALLY DIRECT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STAFF, BECAUSE STAFF DOES A HUGE AND TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INCREDIBLE PROGRAMMING. NOW WHAT'S NEEDED FOR THE CULTURAL SECTOR IS NOT JUST TO GIVE A FISH, SO TO SPEAK, METAPHORICALLY, BUT TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF FRISCO, THE CREATIVES IN FRISCO, DEVELOP THAT MIDDLE NONPROFIT SECTOR AND TEACH THEM HOW TO FISH. THAT BECAME A REAL FUNDAMENTAL BASE FOR WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS BECAME. IN THIS ROADMAP, YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE PAGES OF RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEY COVER ALL TOPICS OF PLACE COMPETITIVENESS, THE CREATIVE ECONOMY, CREATIVE PLACEMENT, [NOISE] DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF BELONGING, [01:30:01] WHETHER THAT'S FOR VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES, CREATING INCUBATOR ART SPACES, DOING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES. MANY IDEAS THAT WE'VE HEARD DIRECTLY FROM CITIZENS AND THAT WE ALSO MATCHED WITH NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MISSING MIDDLE? THERE ARE MANY RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE PLAN, BUT IT COMES DOWN TO SOME BASIC THINGS LIKE DOING WORKSHOPS, SO THAT SMALL GROUPS CAN LEARN EVEN BETTER BUSINESS SKILLS AND BRING IN STATE LEVEL FUNDING, NATIONAL FUNDING, OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN GROW THE CULTURAL ECONOMY. TO DO MICRO GRANTS, TO INCENTIVIZE ENTREPRENEURSHIP, TO HELP DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS WITH DEVELOPERS, SAY IN THE RAIL DISTRICT, SO THAT DEVELOPING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS CAN HAVE A PRESENCE THERE, GROW THEIR OWN BUSINESS, AND REALLY BRING VITALITY TO THAT AREA. FOSTER CONNECTIONS BETWEEN EMERGING NONPROFITS THAT ARE JUST GETTING THEIR WHEELS GONE AND ESTABLISHED ARTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THE INS AND OUTS. WITH THAT, I'D LOVE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. THE ARTS AND FRISCO HAVE COME A LONG WAY. CERTAINLY, THE TERM CREATIVE ECONOMY WAS NOT EVEN IN MY VERNACULAR, I'D SAY SEVEN YEARS AGO. NOW IT'S INTERWOVEN IN ALMOST EVERY CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE AND PLANNING ITEM THAT WE HAVE. WE'VE GONE FROM HAVING HEALTHY DEBATES ON A COUNCIL, WHETHER WE EVEN WANTED TO FUND AT A MINIMAL LEVEL ARTS. NOW WE'RE LEANING INTO THAT NEXT ITERATION AS FAR AS, AS YOU SAID, NOT ONLY DO WE FIND WAYS TO HELP FUND, BUT WE HELP THEM GROW AND BECOME BETTER ORGANIZATIONS. THANK YOU FOR THE, WHAT DO YOU MENTIONED, THREE YEARS OF WORK LEANING INTO THIS TO GET HERE TODAY, AND EXCITED TO SEE WHERE IT GOES AND HOW IT FLOURISHES IN FRISCO. >> THANK YOU. >> MY COLLEAGUE HERE. I'LL TURN IT TO HER. I KNOW SHE HAS A BOOT TO SAY. >> NOW, I'LL KEEP UP REAL SHORT BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE AS LOZENGES AS I CAN, AS I SPEAK. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS STUDY BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER HAD ONE, MASTER PLAN, CULTURAL AFFAIRS FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. IT REALLY IS A JOURNEY, THIS NEXT CHAPTER OF THE FRISCO RENAISSANCE. THE FACT THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY NOW HAVE SOME DATA TO SHOW WHAT WE'RE MISSING, WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO ATTACK IT AND HELP IT TO GROW AND FILL IN THE TOTAL CREATIVE ECONOMY AND THE CREATIVE PLACEMAKING. IT'S REALLY FASCINATING BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT OUR CITY AND THE DEMOGRAPHICS CHANGING SO MUCH AS WELL, THAT THE ARTS CAN SERVE AS A WAY TO UNIFY OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE NOW A MAJORITY-MINORITY CITY. WE HAVE 32% ASIAN AMERICAN. WE HAVE ACTIVITIES LIKE THE FESTIVAL OF COLORS, WHERE IT'S PRIMARILY SOUTH ASIAN, BUT WE SHOULD REALLY BE INVOLVING EVERYBODY IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EVERYONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE WHAT THAT'S LIKE, AND IN CONTRAST, OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING, FOR INSTANCE, AT KALEIDOSCOPE PARK. THE MORE WE CAN INTEGRATE OUR COMMUNITY, WE'RE GROWING INTO A BIG CITY, BUT WE CAN STILL HAVE THAT SMALL CITY FEEL IF WE INCLUDE THE ARTS AS A BASIC FUNDAMENTAL PART OF OUR EXPERIENCE OF FRISCO. THAT'S WHAT I REALLY SAW THROUGH THIS REPORT AND THROUGH THE ROADMAP THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT TO CREATE OUR IDENTITY AS AN ARTS CITY. THANK YOU. >> TIMMY. COUNSEL, ANY OTHER COMMENTS. >> NO QUESTIONS, BUT, AGAIN, MICHELLE, I WANT TO JUST THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN PLACE, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THE PROGRESS OF THE CITY, NOT ONLY IN THE ARTS, BUT ALSO IN CULTURAL AFFAIRS. I WANT TO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE BLEND THEM TOGETHER, AND WHAT COMES OUT IS JUST THE FOCUS ON THE ARTS. BUT YOU'VE DONE A LOT TO ENSURE THAT WE CONNECT ALL OF THE CULTURES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY, AND THAT EVERYONE HAS THIS SENSE OF BELONGING. I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE THERE. I THINK THAT YOU REPORT, MUCH LIKE OUR CIPAC WAS VERY COMPREHENSIVE. YOU GOT A GOOD PERSPECTIVE, NOT ONLY FROM THOSE OF US ON COUNCIL, BUT GETTING RESIDENT INPUT AS WELL. TO MAYOR'S POINT, JUST REALLY HELPING US FOCUS ON THE CREATIVE ECONOMY THAT I THINK WE ALL KNOW IS HERE AND HOW WE CAN FURTHER TAP INTO IT. AGAIN, JUST GREAT WORK. THE OTHER THING THAT I JUST WANT TO ECHO, AND I THINK YOU HIT ON IT IN THE REPORT, BUT IF WE CAN JUST CONTINUE TO FLESH OUT THE IMPACT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND ARTS ON OVERALL WELL BEING IN THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN WHERE MENTAL HEALTH IS SO IMPORTANT, HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT CONNECTIVE TISSUE BE MORE PART OF YOUR STRATEGY AS WELL. BUT GREAT WORK, AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN PARTICULAR TOWARDS NOT ONLY BRINGING OUT THE ARTS, [01:35:01] BUT ALSO THE CULTURAL AFFAIRS ASPECT OF OUR CITY. >> THANK YOU. >> ANY COMMENTS? I'LL LIKE FOR MOTION. I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE, TAMMY? >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE, WHICH NUMBER ARE WE ON? >> THIRTY EIGHT. >> THIRTY EIGHT. MOVE TO VOTE ON 38. >> MOTION BY TAMMY. >> SECOND. >> SECOND BY BILL ON FAVOR. PASSES 5:0. THANK YOU SO MUCH. [Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to finalize and execute a First Amended and Restated Master Development Agreement - Parking Garage and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #6, for a public parking garage and related improvements for Hall Park, by and between the City of Frisco, Texas, Frisco Economic Development Corporation, and HP Frisco Holdings, LLC.

THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS ADDRESSED BY ITEMS 39 AND 40 REFLECT AN EVOLUTION OF A MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED FOR HALL PARK IN JUNE OF 2021. THAT AGREEMENT INCLUDED FOUR PARTIES. CITY OF FRISCO, FRISCO ISD, THE CDC, AND THE HALL GROUP, AND IT HAD THREE PROJECT COMPONENTS, THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, A PUBLIC PARK, A PARKING GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE. THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER COMPONENT OF THAT AGREEMENT HAS SINCE BEEN VACATED. THE PUBLIC PARK WAS ADDRESSED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, AND THE PARKING GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING WILL BE CONSIDERED TONIGHT. THAT AGREEMENT WAS ALSO FURTHER AMENDED IN FEBRUARY 2022, AND WITH THAT AMENDMENT, IT ADDRESSED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NONPROFIT PARTNER, NOW KNOWN AS THE KALEIDOSCOPE PARK FOUNDATION TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, AND THEN IT ALSO SET THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THAT PARK. WITH THESE TWO ITEMS, THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE BUT RELATED AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS. THE FIRST IS BETWEEN THE FRISCO EDC, THE CITY, AND HALL GROUP. IT DOES REMOVE THE ISD AND CDC FROM FURTHER CONSIDERATION, AND IT ADDRESSES A PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING, SPECIFICALLY, QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH OF THOSE ELEMENTS, AS WELL AS TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE 6 FUNDING FOR THE PUBLIC PARKING STRUCTURE. THE SECOND AGREEMENT AMENDMENT ADDRESSES AN EXPANSION OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK THAT INCLUDES THE FRISCO CDC, THE CITY OF FRISCO, HALL GROUP, AND THE KALEIDOSCOPE PARK FOUNDATION. FIRST, WE'LL START WITH THE PROPOSED PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING. THE SITE FOR BOTH OF THESE ELEMENTS AS WELL AS THE PARK EXPANSION IS AT THE SOUTHERN TERMINUS OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A TWO STORY PARKING GARAGE THAT WOULD BE REDEVELOPED TO FACILITATE THESE ACTIONS. WITH THAT, THE PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING WOULD BE DEVELOPED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT SITE, OCCUPYING 2.7 ACRES. FOR THE GARAGE, IT WOULD INCLUDE 1,100 PUBLIC PARKING SPACES, 100 OF THOSE WOULD BE RESERVED FOR KALEIDOSCOPE PARK VISITORS, AND THEN IT WOULD PROVIDE AIR RIGHT GRANTS FOR HALL TO CONSTRUCT A PODIUM CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING THAT WOULD BE INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN OF THAT STRUCTURE. WITH THAT CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING, HALL GROUP WOULD HAVE TO ACHIEVE A MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 100,000 SQUARE FEET, AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 12 STORIES THAT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE HEIGHT. WITH THAT, IT WOULD BE A UNIQUE OFFICE OFFERING, AND THAT, IN LIEU OF IT, JUST BEING SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE FINISHED OUT GRADUALLY BY EACH TENANT AS IT'S LEASED. IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE FINISHED OUT TO START WITH EXECUTIVE LEVEL OFFICE SUITES. THE FIRST PUBLIC PARTICIPATION COMPONENT OF THE PUBLIC PARKING STRUCTURE AND TIRZ 6 CONSIDERATION IS A FRISCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT OF UP TO $7 MILLION FOR QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE SERVING THE GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR HALL GROUP ASSOCIATED WITH THAT GRANT WOULD BE [01:40:03] THE COMPLETION OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE, AS WELL AS THE CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING, AND ESTABLISHING PERMANENT OCCUPANCY NO LATER THAN JUNE 30, 2028. THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONFIRM ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS OF AT LEAST 40 MILLION FOR THE PARKING GARAGE AND 50 MILLION FOR THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PRIMARILY REPRESENTED BY THE OFFICE BUILDING FOR A TOTAL VALUE OF 90 MILLION. THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THAT THEY COMPLETED AT LEAST 7 MILLION IN QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE TO SERVE THE GARAGE AND OFFICE CONDO PROPERTY. THE CITY WOULD PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONSIDERATION THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF $40 MILLION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC PARKING STRUCTURE. THIS WOULD BE DONE THROUGH THE AMENDMENT OF TIRZ 6 PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HALL GROUP ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TIRZ 6 FUNDING. INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONDO REGIME THAT SEPARATED OUT THE GARAGE FROM THE PRIVATE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE OWNED BY HALL. THE GARAGE WOULD BE OWNED BY THE CITY OF FRISCO. THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND COMPLETE THE CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING ONCE AGAIN BY JUNE 30, 2028. HALL GROUP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS FOR THE PARKING GARAGE IN EXCESS OF 40 MILLION, AND THEN ANY STRUCTURAL UPGRADES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AS WELL TO CREATE THE OFFICE PODIUM. AT THE ONSET OF THIS CONSIDERATION, AS THE TIRZS REVENUES GROW AND STABILIZE, HALL WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKS STOP PAYMENTS TO ENSURE THAT OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS ARE BEING APPROPRIATELY FUNDED. >> CITY'S OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TIRZ 6 PARTICIPATION INCLUDES A 15-YEAR EXTENSION OF THAT TIRZ, AND THEN ISSUANCE OF DEBT AND PAYMENT OF DEBT AND PRINCIPAL FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 73 MILLION. WE WOULD ALSO THROUGH THE TIRZ FUND, ALL FUTURE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR THE PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE, AND THEN ALSO INCLUDE A ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION FOR KALEIDOSCOPE PARK FUNDING THROUGH TIRZ 6, IF NEEDED. THERE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENTS TO HALL GROUP FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIRZ BACKSTOP. THE SECOND AGREEMENT ONCE AGAIN ADDRESSES THE KALEIDOSCOPE PARK EXPANSION, THAT WOULD OCCUR IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF EXISTING KALEIDOSCOPE PARK. IT WOULD EXPAND BY 1.44 ACRES IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF THE PROPOSED PARKING GARAGE AND OFFICE BUILDING. THE LANDSCAPE PROVIDED WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE CHARACTER AND QUALITY THAT EXISTS IN THE EXISTING KALEIDOSCOPE PARK. REALLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS EXPANSION WOULD BE THE INCLUSION OF THREE PROMINENT AMENITIES, A WATER FEATURE, A STAGE FOR PERFORMANCES, AND THEN AN OUTDOOR VIDEO SCREEN. WITH THESE AGREEMENTS, ALLOWANCES ARE MADE TO ALLOW THE VIDEO SCREEN AND STAGE TO BE ACCOMMODATED ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE VIDEO SCREEN COULD BE ACCOMMODATED ON THE FACADE OF THE PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE, PROVIDING BOTH A SCREENING ELEMENT, BUT ALSO A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF THE LAND. WITH THIS, THERE IS CITY PARTICIPATION PROPOSED THROUGH THE CONSIDERATION OF A FRISCO CDC PARK EXPANSION GRANT. THE CDC WOULD CONTRIBUTE UP TO $7 MILLION OR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARK, WITH THE TOTAL ANTICIPATED PARK CONSTRUCTION COST OF 14 MILLION. ANYTHING OVER 14 MILLION WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HALL GROUP. THEY WOULD ALSO CONVEY THE PARK MUCH LIKE THE REST OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK TO THE CITY. WITH THIS, THE KALEIDOSCOPE PARK FOUNDATION WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND ULTIMATE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EXPANDED PARK. THE FOUNDATION WOULD NEED TO INITIATE CONSTRUCTION WITHIN 90 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE AND THEN COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION WITHIN TWO YEARS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE. HERE'S A ILLUSTRATIVE RENDERING. DESIGN WILL KICK OFF, PENDING APPROVAL OF THESE ITEMS, FOLLOWING THIS. BUT HERE AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THE EXISTING PARK, WHICH IS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU'D SEE THE PARK EXPANSION CIRCLED IN RED, AND TO ITS WEST, TO THE NORTH OF THE SCREEN, YOU'D SEE THE PARKING GARAGE AND CLASS A OFFICE BUILDING. [01:45:02] IN THEIR INITIAL THOUGHTS ON DESIGN FOR THE PARK ELEMENTS, THE HALL GROUP HAS LOOKED AT PARK PRECEDENTS, NOT JUST HERE IN TEXAS, NOT JUST IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT AROUND THE WORLD, PARTICULARLY FOCUSING ON THOSE MAJOR AMENITIES THAT WOULD BE PART OF THIS PARK EXPANSION. THERE'S NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE TWO AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS. FIRST, KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, CERTAINLY JUST OPENED ON OCTOBER, BUT IT'S ALREADY A VERY POPULAR, NOT ONLY COMMUNITY AMENITY, BUT REGIONAL AMENITY. THIS WOULD BUILD ON THAT AND ENHANCE IT. ALSO, WITH THE PUBLIC PARKING, WHEN YOU HAVE A POPULAR AMENITY LIKE THIS, THERE'S EXISTING DEMAND, BUT FUTURE DEMAND FOR PARKING. THAT WILL BETTER SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION AND CITY'S ABILITY TO HOST SPECIAL EVENTS AT THE PARK LOCATION. I'D ALSO, GIVEN THAT IT'S SUCH AN AMENITY, PEOPLE ARE SPENDING TIME THERE, WE SEE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED RETAIL SPENDING IN AND AROUND HALL PARK. WITH THE OFFICE SPACE, WE HEAR ALL THE TIME THAT WE NEED IN FRISCO MORE CLASS A OFFICE SPACE. THIS CERTAINLY ADDS TO THAT. THEN ALSO IT PROVIDES A UNIQUE DIFFERENTIATED OFFICE PRODUCT TYPE. IT COULD SERVE TENANTS OF VARYING SCALE, BUT IT COULD ALSO SERVE AS A FOOTHOLD, IF YOU WILL, FOR A LARGER CORPORATE RELOCATION. THEN I'D CONCLUDE THAT MUCH LIKE CLYDE WARREN PARK HAD A HALO EFFECT IN TOWN, THIS HAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A HALO EFFECT AT HALL PARK. GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO THE OFFICE. I THINK THIS WILL CERTAINLY SERVE THAT DYNAMIC. THESE TWO AGREEMENTS WERE PREVIOUSLY ACTED ON BY THE FEDC AT THEIR FEBRUARY 19TH MEETING. THEY ACTED ON THE PARKING GARAGE AND TIRZ 6 AGREEMENT, APPROVED IT BY A VOTE OF SIX, ZERO, AND THEN THE CDC ACTED ON THE PARK EXPANSION AGREEMENT AT THEIR FEBRUARY 20TH MEETING BY A VOTE OF SIX, ZERO. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND THAT YOU APPROVE THESE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS AND BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. WE DO ALSO HAVE A LARGE CONTINGENT FROM THE HALL GROUP TO MY LEFT. >> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION AND PRESENTATION COVERS BOTH ITEMS 39 AND 40. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND JUST TAKE OUR COMMENTS ALONG WITH THIS ITEM. WE JUST FINISHED TALKING ABOUT LEANING INTO THE CREATIVE ECONOMY, AND CERTAINLY MR. HALL WAS A PIONEER IN FRISCO, AS FAR AS LEANING INTO THE CREATIVE ECONOMY HERE BEFORE ANY OF US KNEW THAT EXISTED. KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, I KNOW ALL OF US THAT'S HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THAT PROJECT, OR CERTAINLY PROUD OF THE END RESULT. WE'D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PROJECTS IN FRISCO, THAT THE REALITY HAS BECOME BETTER THAN THE DREAM EVER WAS. THE FACT THAT AFTER ONLY CUTTING A RIBBON A FEW SHORT MONTHS AGO, WE REALIZED THAT WE'RE ONTO SOMETHING HERE AND CONTINUED TO BUILD IT OUT INTO SOMETHING, REALLY SPECIAL AND I LOVE. CERTAINLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, WE INVITE YOU TO GO EXPERIENCE IT. I THINK IT'S PROGRAMMED OVER 300 DAYS A YEAR, I BELIEVE. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER. I KNOW I GET IT EVERY SINGLE WEEK, SEEING ALL THE GREAT ACTIVITIES, BUT ADDING THESE ELEMENTS, A STAGE, WATER ELEMENTS, OF COURSE, AND THEN CERTAINLY THE BIG SCREEN TV, WE'LL JUST ADD TO THE CREATIVE TYPE OF PERFORMANCE AND ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HAPPEN THERE. ON TOP OF THAT, CONTINUING TO BUILD OUT THE BUSINESS PARK AND BEING ABLE TO BRING CLASS A TYPE PRODUCT TO OUR COMMUNITY IS GREATLY IMPORTANT. VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS EXPANSION PROJECT, AND LOVE TO SEE WHAT COMES NEXT. COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU MAY HAVE AS WELL. >> I WANTED TO JUST PUBLICLY THANK CRAIG HALL FOR HIS VISION AND CHOOSING FRISCO TO INVEST THAT MANY YEARS AGO, PUTTING ART IN PLACES WHERE THERE WERE COWS, AND NOTHING THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ART AND INSPIRATION TO GO. BUT THAT'S WHAT HE DID. HE TRANSFORMED OUR CITY AND REALLY PAVED THE WAY FOR THE FUTURE. THIS CULTURAL AFFAIRS, MASTER PLAN THAT WE SAW, I DON'T THINK WOULD EVEN BE HAPPENING HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR CRAIG'S VISION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. I JUST WANT TO THANK MR. HALL FOR THAT. ALSO, HIS PERSEVERANCE AND HIS DEDICATION TO PHILANTHROPY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, ALWAYS GIVING BACK THIS TEXAS SCULPTURE GARDEN WITHIN HALL PARK, OVER 200 PIECES OF ART THAT IS OWNED BY HIM AND AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. [01:50:01] WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GIFT TO OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. THE FACT THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE FEATURED WITH THIS EXPANSION AT KALEIDOSCOPE, THAT'S EXCITING. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETIMES WHEN WE WALK AROUND KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY IN FRISCO. IT FEELS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. NOTHING LIKE ANYTHING WE'VE GOT IN OUR CITY, AND THE PIECE OF ART BY JANET ACKMAN IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN EVERYBODY USES THE JAGUAR, THE RED SCULPTURE, AS LIKE THE ENTRANCE TO FRISCO. NOW, PEOPLE ARE USING THAT AS ICONIC SCULPTURE OF FRISCO. YOU CAN FEEL HIS FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER OUR CITY ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR MR. HALL, AND WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO NOW FOR KALEIDOSCOPE. >> I WOULD JUST AGAIN, ECHO SOME OF WHAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID. I THINK THIS IS THE DEAL THAT HAS MADE FRISCO. YOU HAVE A PROVEN PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED THEIR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND ENHANCE THE CITY OF FRISCO, AND HERE YET AGAIN, IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT, WHETHER IT'S OFFERING CLASS A OFFICE. WE CLEARLY KNOW WITH EMPLOYEES RETURNING TO THE WORKPLACE THAT THE NEED FOR CLASS A OFFICE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW HERE IN OUR CITY, AND WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THE SUPPLY FALLS SHORT OF THE DEMAND. TO BE ABLE TO ADD QUALITY HALL LIKE CLASS A OFFICE, I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. THE PARKING GARAGE CERTAINLY IS NEEDED TO FACILITATE THAT GROWTH, AS WELL AS THE KALEIDOSCOPE PARK GROWTH, AND THEN EXTENSION OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK WITH ALL OF THE AMENITIES THAT WILL BE ADDED TO IT. AGAIN, PROVEN PARTNERSHIP AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS, I THINK MAKE FOR A GREAT DEAL IN FRISCO. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS. >> I WOULD ALSO ECHO THE VISION OF CRAIG HALL AND JUST IN FRISCO HERE, JUST HOW THE STORY STARTED, IT WASN'T ALWAYS HOW IT ENDED. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE HE WAS CRAZY WHEN HE FIRST CAME UP HERE TO FRISCO AND WAS NOT ONLY GOING TO BUILD AN OFFICE PARK, BUT WAS GOING TO SURROUND IT WITH ART AND SCULPTURE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PRAIRIE. THEN LATER, IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS, AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT, IT'S HALL PARK IN CORRECT HALL, HE'S A GENIUS. THEN HE STARTED TEARING BUILDINGS DOWN AND STRUCTURED PARKING. AGAIN, IN THE CONVERSATION, HE'S GONE CRAZY. WHO WOULD DO THAT IN FRISCO WHEN WE NEED CLASS A OFFICE SPACE? NOW WHAT EMERGES OUT OF THAT, LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES, IS THIS INCREDIBLE PARK, MORE ART, AND THEN TRUE MIXED USE IN WAYS THAT WE HAD NOT REALLY IMAGINED IN NEW AND BETTER USES OF SPACE AND HOW YOU GO VERTICAL AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND HOW YOU SURROUND IT, NOT JUST WITH GREEN SPACE, BUT WITH SPACE THAT PEOPLE CAN MOVE AND GATHER AND BE CONNECTED, AND YET STILL HAVE THEIR OWN THEIR OWN SPACE TO HAVE LUNCH OR TO JUST GET OUT OF THE OFFICE FOR A MINUTE OR OUT OF THEIR APARTMENT OR WHEREVER THEY'RE LIVING. THAT'S THE NICE THING IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE THERE OR EVEN WORK THERE TO VISIT THERE. ALL THE DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY SEEN IN KALEIDOSCOPE PARK HAVE JUST BEEN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE WHERE PEOPLE HAVE SAID, I'VE LIVED IN FRISCO FOR 20 SOMETHING YEARS, AND I'VE NEVER BEEN TO HALL PARK. NOW WE'RE THERE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK PARK AND THE DIFFERENT EVENTS, AND WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE THERE AND ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS. ABSOLUTELY APPLAUD THE EFFORT. TAMMY SAID ALSO A REALLY POWERFUL THING ABOUT THE HALL FAMILY AND NOT JUST HERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT ALSO IN CALIFORNIA AND REALLY NUMBER OF PLACES AROUND THE WORLD, THE LIVES THAT THEY'VE IMPACTED BY THEIR GENEROUS GIFT GIVING. I WOULD SAY THAT WE RECENTLY RECEIVED A DONATION FROM CRAIG AND KATHERINE HALL FOR OUR PURPLE HEART MONUMENT HERE IN FRISCO AT OUR VETERANS MEMORIAL. THAT WAS VERY TOUCHING. HE SAID, JOHN, I'M NOT A VETERAN. I'M AN ART LOVER AND A BUSINESSMAN, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WHAT YOU'RE CREATING IS ART, BUT IT IS A WONDERFUL THING. HE SAYS IS JUST A SMALL WAY OF ME SAYING, THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY AND GAVE US THE FREEDOMS THAT WE ENJOY HERE IN FRISCO, AND HIS OPPORTUNITY TO CAST HIS VISION AND BUILD A DREAM. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION ON ITEM 39. >> MOVE TO ROOF ITEM 39. >> MOTION BY BILL. SECOND BY TAMMY IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> THAT PASSES FOUR, ZERO, AND ITEM 40. CONSIDER AN ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO FINALIZE AND EXECUTE A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER AGREEMENT. FOR THE EXPANSION OF KALEIDOSCOPE PARK BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO, [01:55:02] FRISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, KALEIDOSCOPE PARK FOUNDATION, HP FRISCO HOLDINGS, LLC. >> MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 40. >> MOTION BY BILL. >> SECOND. >> SECOND BY TAMMY, ALL IN FAVOR. >> AYE. >> THAT PASSES FOUR, ZERO. THANK YOU ALL. THANKS FOR STAYING LATE WITH US. [LAUGHTER] >> THAT'S RIGHT. WE GOT TO DO THIS. [NOISE] [LAUGHTER] >> WE NEED TO BRING THIS BACK IN TWO WEEKS. JOHN, BRING THEM BACK IN TWO WEEKS. [OVERLAPPING] >> HE STARTED IT. [Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to finalize and execute a Ground Lease and Guaranty Agreement for the Stix Icehouse, by and between the City of Frisco, Texas and Stix Frisco, LLC. (CMO/KS)] >> ITEM 41. LET CONSIDER AN ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO FINALIZE AND EXECUTE A GROUND LEASE AND GUARANTEE AGREEMENT FOR THE STIX ICE HOUSE BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND STIX FRISCO LLC. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. THE STIX ICE HOUSE IS A HILL COUNTRY INSPIRED BAR AND RESTAURANT CONCEPT WITH A FULL KITCHEN AND BAR. THEY HAVE AN EVENT ROOM, AND AN EXPANSIVE PATIO AREA THAT FRONTS ON 10 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE AT THEIR EXISTING LOCATION IN EAST MCKINNEY. THE STIX BRAND FOCUSES ON FAMILY AND DOG FRIENDLY, COMMUNITY-ORIENTED BUSINESS. IT EMBRACES THE CONCEPT 'OL' OLD-FASHIONED FUN AND THE POWER OF PLAY, AND THAT'S REALLY MOST EXEMPLIFIED BY HOW THEY EMBRACE THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, THAT'S ADJACENT TO THEIR EXISTING LOCATION. THAT LOCATION WAS OPENED BY MIKE AND RAY LUTHER AND THEIR BUSINESS PARTNER, DON DAY, BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2021, THAT IS THEIR ONLY STIX ICE HOUSE LOCATION. NOW AS THEY LOOK TO EXPAND, THEY SAW FRISCO AS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE THAT. WITH THAT, WHEN THEY FIRST PROPOSED THIS CONCEPT, THEY IMMEDIATELY FOCUSED IN ON THE GRAND PARK AREA OF FRISCO. AS THAT DISCUSSION WITH STAFF EVOLVED, THEY SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT NORTH JUST OUTSIDE OF GRAND PARK TO ANOTHER CITY-OWNED PROPERTY ON 14.7 ACRES THAT IS HEAVILY WOODED ON ITS EAST SIDE, BUT HAS SOME DEVELOPMENT AREA ON ITS WEST SIDE. WITH THAT SITE IN THE PROPOSED ZARKY DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF COTTONIN, THEY'VE PROPOSED A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF FRISCO, AS WELL AS THE FRISCO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO SUPPORT THE SECOND STIX ICE HOUSE ON THAT SITE. WITH THAT, THEY'VE PROPOSED CONSIDERATION OF CDC PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, SPECIFICALLY A PUBLIC SURFACE PARKING LOT, AS WELL AS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEN CITY PARTICIPATION THROUGH A GROUND LEASE AND GUARANTEE AGREEMENT. THE AERIAL TO THE LEFT, THE YELLOW BOX AREA IS THE EXISTING CONDITION FOR THE SITE. IT'S 14.7 ACRES. PROBABLY ABOUT 10 ACRES OF THAT IS HEAVILY COVERED IN TREES. MOST NOTABLY, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW VERY MATURE PECAN TREES THAT REALLY WAS THE DRIVER FOR THE CITY FIRST ACQUIRING THAT SITE. THEN ON THE IMAGE TO THE EAST, YOU SEE THE ILLUSTRATIVE BUILDOUT OF THE ZONING FOR THE ZARKY DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S A 100 PLUS ACRE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS DUE TO KICK OFF CONSTRUCTION THIS SUMMER, END OF SUMMER, WITH THEIR FIRST PHASE. THAT FIRST PHASE IS WHAT YOU SEE CIRCLED IN RED. THAT WILL INCLUDE THE INITIAL STREET NETWORK, STARTING AT THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THE SITE WITH THE FIRST SEGMENT OF GRAND PARK BOULEVARD, THAT WILL BE A MAJOR COLLECTOR THROUGH THAT SITE, AND THEN A CONNECTION OVER TO LEGACY DRIVE, AND THEN THREE MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS COMPRISING ABOUT 1,000 DWELLING UNITS AND THEN THAT MAJOR RETENTION POND AT THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE SITE. WHEN THIS IS BUILT OUT, THE ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR OVER 3,000 MULTIFAMILY UNITS AND SEVERAL MILLION SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE. IT IS A INTENSE ASPIRATIONAL MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. >> WITH THEIR VISION, THE LUTHERS AND MR. DAY PROPOSE TO PROVIDE THE RESTAURANT ON THE SITE AND TO AMENITIZE THAT OPEN SPACE AREA THROUGH ACTIVE OPEN SPACE ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS PASSIVE ACTIVITIES. YOU'LL HAVE OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DISC GOLF, CORNHOLE, PING PONG, TREE HOUSES, VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, BUT THEN ALSO PASSIVE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SOFT SURFACE, NATURE TRAILS, AND DISC GOLF. WITH THAT, THEY ALSO WANT TO PARTNER WITH [02:00:02] THE CDC AND CITY ON COMMUNITY EVENTS AT THE SITE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY CURRENTLY DO IN MCKINNEY, AND THEY WANT TO EXTEND THAT TRADITION OVER TO FRISCO. HERE'S SOME IMAGERY FROM THEIR EXISTING LOCATION, THAT ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT, THAT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING FOR FRISCO. ALSO ON THIS SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE THEIR EMBRACE OF ART, BUT ALSO IT'S INTEGRATED IN THEIR BRAND. THAT'S LUCKY THE DONKEY THAT FRONTS ELDORADO PARKWAY AT THEIR SITE IN MCKINNEY. HERE YOU SEE THE VERY CASUAL DINING ENVIRONMENT AND HIGHLIGHTED BY THE VERY EXPANSIVE PATIO THAT PROVIDES GOOD SHADE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS AS WELL. THEN HERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, GAMES, BUT ALSO THE TREE HOUSE. HERE'S THE ILLUSTRATIVE SITE PLAN. I'LL EMPHASIZE THAT THEY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, ZONING REVIEW. CIVIL ENGINEERING, SITE DESIGN, AND THEN ULTIMATELY CONSTRUCTION. THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGE TO THIS CONCEPT AS THAT PROCESS OCCURS, BUT JUST IN CONCEPT AT THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE SITE, IT INCLUDES A SURFACE PARKING LOT WITH 200 PUBLIC PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED IN EXCESS OF WHAT THEIR USE WOULD DEMAND IN ORDER TO SUPPORT GRAND PARK USERS. THIS IS ONLY 500 FEET FROM THE FIRST PHASE OF GRAND PARK, AND SO THE EXCESS SUPPLY AS WELL AS WHEN DEMAND FROM STICKS IS LOWER WOULD REALLY BE BENEFICIAL TO SERVE GRAND PARK VISITORS, PARTICULARLY AS IT'S IN ITS INFANCY OF DEVELOPMENT. AS YOU GET INTO THE SITE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY PROVIDE 9,000 SQUARE FEET OF AIR CONDITIONED SPACE FOR THE RESTAURANT AND BAR AND THEN 4,000 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR PATIO AREA AND THEN AS GET TO THE OPEN SPACE, THE WESTERN EDGE OF WHERE IT ENGAGES THE RESTAURANT IS GOING TO BE MORE ACTIVE. THEN AS YOU GO FURTHER EAST TOWARDS DALLAS PARKWAY, IT'S MUCH MORE PASSIVE. WITH THE PASSIVE OPEN SPACE, THERE WILL BE VERY SELECTIVE THINNING OF THE TREE COVER, PRESERVING HIGH QUALITY TREES, PARTICULARLY THE PECANS, BUT REALLY DOING THAT IN ORDER TO MAKE IT MORE VIABLE AND USABLE SPACE FOR PUBLIC USE. THEN HERE'S A CONCEPTUAL RENDERING. ONE THING THAT WE'LL FOCUS ON IN THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, THAT EASTERN EDGE IN FRONT OF THE SURFACE PARKING LOT. WE'LL BE SURE TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S A GOOD LANDSCAPE EDGE THERE TO MUTE THE IMPACT OF THAT PAVING. THEN HERE YOU SEE THE PATIO AREA, VERY EXTENSIVE OPEN SEATING, CASUAL SEATING IN THE OPEN SPACE AND THEN COVERED AREA AS WELL. HERE IN THIS IMAGE OF THE PATIO, YOU ALSO SEE THERE'S PERFORMANCE SPACE FOR LIVE MUSIC. THEY DO DO THAT AT THE EXISTING STICKS IN MCKINNEY. THEN HERE YOU SEE A BETTER VIEW OF THE OUTDOOR DINING AREA. HERE'S THE ACTIVE OPEN SPACE AREA WHERE IT'S MORE GAME ORIENTED. THEN HERE'S WHERE IT STARTS TO TRANSITION TO MORE PASSIVE OPEN SPACE. FOR THE PARTNERSHIP TERMS, THERE'S THREE ELEMENTS. THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WAS ACTED ON BY THE CDC AT THEIR LAST MEETING. THAT CALLS FOR A TOTAL INVESTMENT, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OF AT LEAST 3.8 MILLION. STIX WOULD HAVE TO COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE PERIMETER INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE SITE, SO THE STREET AND UTILITY NETWORK. THEN FROM COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION, THEY MUST BE OPEN WITHIN 12 MONTHS. THE CDC WOULD FUND THE LESSER OF 50% OF THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION VALUE OR 2.5 MILLION REIMBURSEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC SURFACE PARKING LOT AND THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS. ALL PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS AND ANY EXCESS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF STIX. THEN STATES WOULD HOLD THEIR ANNUAL COMMUNITY EVENT AND PROMOTE THE CITY POSITIVELY IN THEIR NETWORKS. FOR THE GROUND LEASE, THIS IS WHERE THE CITY OF FRISCO COMES IN AND IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO ACT ON TONIGHT. THAT WOULD ESTABLISH A 20 YEAR INITIAL TERM WITH 210 YEAR STIX OPTIONS TO RENEW. IT WOULD SET THE BASE RENT AT 6,500 PER MONTH AND IT WOULD ADJUST ANNUALLY BY CPI. THE CITY WOULD TRANSFER THAT LEASE REVENUE BACK TO THE CDC TO ADDRESS THE CDC'S INVESTMENT IN THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. THE CITY WOULD OWN THE BUILDING AND THE SITE IMPROVEMENTS, [02:05:04] STIX WOULD OWN THE BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS TO INCLUDE THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE. THE GUARANTEE AGREEMENT SIMPLY PROVIDES A BACKSTOP IN THE EVENT THAT STIX DEFAULTS ON THE LEASE, AND THE CITY IS LEFT WITH A VACANT BUILDING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT. FIRST, THE ZARKY DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE AN INTENSE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT LEADS WITH RESIDENTIAL. THIS PROVIDES A GREAT AMENITY FOR THAT EARLY PHASE OF THE PROJECT. IT ALSO PROVIDES PARKING SUPPLY TO GRAND PARK VISITORS. THAT FIRST PHASE WILL BE VERY POPULAR. THIS WILL SUPPORT THAT. WITH THIS OPEN SPACE BEING MAINTAINED, BUT STILL PUBLIC, BEING MAINTAINED BY STIX, IT ULTIMATELY SAVES THE CITY OPERATIONAL COSTS AND ALLOWS US TO GET THAT OPEN SPACE WITH THIS PROJECT OPEN EARLIER THAN WE WOULD OTHERWISE. OF COURSE, PROVIDING LINK TRAIL LINKAGE OPPORTUNITIES AND ANOTHER FAMILY FRIENDLY OPPORTUNITY IN FRISCO, PARTICULARLY IN THIS GRAND PARK AREA IS A BIG WIN. I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE IMAGES THAT WE FREQUENTLY USE IN THESE PRESENTATIONS, IT'S HARD TO RELATE SCALE, PARTICULARLY SITES AS LARGE AS THIS. WHAT I WOULD EMPHASIZE IN THIS COMMUNITY BENEFITS IS THE WALKING DISTANCE TO THE FIRST PHASE OF GRAND PARK. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THIS PARKING LOT AND GRAND PARK IS EQUIVALENT TO A WALK FROM THIS BUILDING TO PIZZERIA TESTA. IT'S REALLY SHORT. IT'S VERY CONVENIENT. IT'S GOING TO SERVE THE GRAND PARK VISITORS. CDC, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, DID APPROVE THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE AT THEIR FEBRUARY 20 MEETING. WE DO RECOMMEND THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE GROUND LEASE AND GUARANTEE AGREEMENT, AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. WE DO HAVE MIKE LUTHER AND DON DAY WITH THE STIX TEAM HERE AS WELL. >> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATIONS. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO SAY ON THIS. FIRST, I THINK IT WAS FITTING TONIGHT THAT OUR COMP PLAN 2040 WAS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA BECAUSE YOU GO THROUGH THIS AGENDA, AND WE'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE MAP, AS FAR AS THINGS HAPPENING HERE IN FRISCO WAS A REALLY BUSY AGENDA, BUT ALSO A LOT OF AGENDA ITEMS THAT SHOWED THE EVOLUTION OF THIS COMMUNITY. SOME PROJECTS YOU APPROVE THAT ARE REALLY BIG PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE, OF COURSE, PROUD OF, BUT SOMETIMES THE ONES YOU'RE MOST PROUD OF ARE THE SMALLER DEALS. THIS ONE IS REALLY SPECIAL TO ME FOR A FEW REASONS. ONE BEING I WAS THE ONE THAT ALWAYS VOICED ABOUT HOW DISAPPOINTED I WAS THAT WE HAD NO GREAT PATIOS IN FRISCO. FOR YEARS, WE WOULD SAY, IF YOU WANTED TO SIT ON A PATIO IN FRISCO AND ENJOY A MEAL AND LOOK AT ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PARKING LOT, YOU HAD ONE OPTION IN OUR CITY AND THAT WAS TO GO TO GLORIOUS AND LOOK AT THEIR DETAINAGE DITCH. THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE THAT KIDS COULD GO AROUND. I GREW UP WITH THREE ACTIVE KIDS, AND WE WOULD HAVE SOCCER SATURDAYS, AND THERE WOULD BE NO PLACE FOR OUR TEAMS TO GO AFTERWARDS, WHERE THEY COULD STILL RUN AROUND AND PLAY, AND THE PARENTS COULD UNWIND. THAT BECAME A MISSION OF THE COUNCIL TO CHANGE THAT, AND IT EVENTUALLY EVOLVED INTO OUR COMMERCIAL PUBLIC SPACE ORDINANCE, WHERE NOW IT'S A REQUIREMENT THAT'S EVOLVED INTO DOING THINGS LIKE CLASCO PARK, AND ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE COME SINCE THAT NOW THAT'S JUST WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY. THE 15, 20 YEARS AGO, IT WAS A REAL WEAKNESS OF WHO WE WERE AS A COMMUNITY. IT WAS REALLY LACKING AND NOW THAT'S BECOMING A STRENGTH, AND WE DO IT BETTER THAN ANYONE. I GOT TO TOUR RAY AROUND WHEN SHE HAD MENTIONED, SHE WAS THINKING OF INTERESTED IN FRISCO. WHEN SHE TOLD ME THE PROJECT, I'LL GIVE YOU A PERSONAL TOUR. WE SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS AND I SHOWED FIVE OR SIX SITES, AND THEN INTENTIONALLY TOOK HER TO GRAND PARK LAST BECAUSE I EXPECTED WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IS I NEED TO SOMEHOW TOUCH THAT PROJECT. WE LOOKED AT IS THERE SOMEWHERE ON GRAND PARK WHERE IT BELONGS, BUT I THINK THIS IS HONESTLY EVEN BETTER THAN THAT BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUR MISSION TO FIND A WAY TO PULL GRAND PARK ALL THE WAY TO MAIN STREET, TO PULL IT THROUGH THE DEZARKY DEVELOPMENT, TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT'S CONNECTED. I THINK THIS PROJECT REALLY HELPS DO THAT, WHERE IT'S GOING TO REALLY MAKE THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT FEEL LIKE IT'S INTENTIONAL AND PART OF WHAT THE EXPERIENCE IS AT GRAND PARK, AND THEN JUST HAVING A PLACE WHERE IT'S FAMILY FRIENDLY. THAT PLACE IS GOING TO BE FILLED WITH THOUSANDS OF KIDS ON [02:10:02] SOCCER SATURDAYS AND THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE MUSIC, AND YOU NAME IT. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A REALLY REALLY COOL PLACE, BUT THE OTHER STORY THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WAS ABOUT THE MENTIONED PECAN TREES. THE PECAN TREE STORY IS AT LEAST 15 YEARS AGO, MAYBE EVEN LONGER, WE WERE AT A COUNCIL MEETING, WE WERE BEING ASKED TO EXTEND AN OPTION AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER WHO HAD A CONTRACT. OUR CITY MANAGER AT THE TIME, GEORGE PUREFOY MADE THE MISTAKE OF TELLING US THAT THERE'S THIS GROVE OF PECAN TREES. I EVEN RECALL THE PICTURE HE SHOWED US WHERE HE GAVE A RENDERING OF A PECAN TREE, AND SAID THEY'RE AS TALL AS CITY HALL AND HAD A PICTURE OF CITY HALL AND THESE TREES AND SHOWING THOSE. ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER AT THE TIME, SCOTT JOHNSON, HIM AND I THEN DECIDED WE WERE GOING IN THAT MEETING, AND THERE'S NO WAYS GETTING HIS EXTENSION, UNLESS YOU PUT IN WRITING THAT YOU'LL PRESERVE THOSE PECAN TREES. HE LEFT SPITTING MAD, WE TABLED IT, AND THEN HE CAME BACK THE NEXT MEETING AFTER, I GUESS HE HAD SEEN THE TREES AND BASICALLY SAID, THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME DO THAT. THANKFULLY, FOR US, HE NEVER CLOSED ON HIS OPTION. NOW WE HAVE THIS PROPERTY AND THIS OPPORTUNITY, BUT SCOTT AND I JOKED THAT NIGHT THAT WERE, WHATEVER ENDS UP HERE ONE DAY, WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH OUR FAMILIES AND HAVE A PICNIC AND HAVE LUNCH. WHEN YOU OPEN, I GUESS HIM AND I STILL OWE EACH OTHER THAT. I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY PERSONALLY SEEN THE TREES MYSELF. IF YOU DRIVE DOWN COTTON GIN, YOU'LL SEE THAT STUBBED OUT ROAD, THAT'S A BIG DENSE FOREST AND HIDDEN BACK IN THERE SOMEWHERE, IF YOU GET YOUR SNAKE BOOTS OUT AND CRAWL BACK IN THERE, APPARENTLY, THEY'RE IN THERE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH THEM. IN THE FINISHED RESULTS. IF SOMEONE HAPPENS TO CARVE CHENEY IN THE TREE, I'M JUST KIDDING THAT WON'T HAPPEN. WHILE A LOT OF THINGS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY OVERLOOK THIS ITEM, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD OVERLOOK THIS ITEM BECAUSE I THINK IT'S VERY MUCH GOING TO BE IN ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY, IS GOING TO BE A GREAT ASSET. I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU OPEN. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN FRISCO. >> COUNCIL. >> MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 41. I THINK YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL TAMMY RETURNS. >> WE HAVE ENOUGH. WE HAVE A QUORUM. MOTION BY BILL, A SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> THAT PASSES 4-0. WELCOME TO FRISCO. I'LL DO IT FOR THAT ONE [LAUGHTER] [NOISE] ITEM 2.

WHETHER IT'S BIG STUFF LIKE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR CULTURAL AFFAIRS MASTER PLAN OR THE BUDGET OR THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCE REPORT, OR IT'S A DIRECTOR THAT'S ACTUALLY OUT SWEEPING THE GARAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT STUFF IS TAKEN CARE OF. BIG OR SMALL. IT TAKES US ALL, AND THEY'RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB. I WANTED TO SAY [NOISE] >> THANK YOU. A MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOTION MY BILL. >> A SECOND. >> SECOND BY TAMMY.
