WE HAD A LOT OF EXECUTIVE MATERIAL AND WITH THAT, [INVOCATION (to begin approximately at 6:30 p.m.)] THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR INVOCATION AND OUR PLEDGE. MAYOR CHENEY I. OH, THERE HE IS. I DO SEE OUR SCOUTS. SO WE HAVE A ROW FROM TROOP 178. INVOCATION FIRST. OH. YES. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. I, WE HAVE THE INVOCATION FIRST FROM RABBI MENDY KESSELMAN FROM THE SHABBAT OF FRISCO. RABBI KESSELMAN IS ORIGINALLY FROM JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. GRADUATED FROM THE RABBINICAL COLLEGE OF QUEBEC. HE THEN WENT ON TO TEACH AND DIRECT THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES AT THE RABBINICAL COLLEGE OF AUSTRALIA. WHILE IN AUSTRALIA. HE BECAME VERY INVOLVED IN THE COMMAND OUTREACH. HE SPENT HIS FREE TIME TRAVELING TO THE OUTBACK OF AUSTRALIA TO CATER TO THE SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES. HE THEN MOVED TO NEW YORK, WHERE HE MET HIS LOVELY WIFE MUSHKIE, AS WELL AS EARNED HIS RABBINCAL ORDINATION FROM THE. I'M GOING TO BUTCHER THIS AND I'M REALLY SORRY. SKIP THE REST. DON'T WORRY. THIS IS WHO I AM. THANK YOU. OKAY. WELCOME BACK. RABBI. WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I MUST SAY, I'VE HEARD OF JEWISH TIME, BUT FRISCO CITY COUNCIL TIME. THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. ANYWAY, SO I WALKED IN, AND ASSISTANT CHIEF STEVENS SAID TO ME. YOU'RE HERE FOR INVOCATION. I SAID, NO, I'M JUST HERE FOR SUPPORT. HE SAID, WELL, YOU BETTER GET SOMETHING IN YOUR BACK POCKET BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYBODY ELSE. SO HERE WE ARE. TWO DAYS AGO, ON THE HEBREW CALENDAR WAS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSING OF MY MENTOR, KNOWN AS THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE, RABBI MENACHEM MENDEL SCHNEERSON. AND I WANT TO SAY TWO THINGS THAT HE WOULD TEACH AND WITH THAT INTENTION, GO INTO A PRAYER. SO HE WOULD SAY THAT WHEN TWO PEOPLE MEET, A THIRD HAS TO BENEFIT. ANYTIME THERE'S A MEETING BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, A THIRD HAS TO BENEFIT. HE ALSO WOULD SAY THAT THE WORLD IS GOD'S GARDEN. WE ARE IN LIVING IN GOD'S GARDEN AND WE ARE THE GARDENERS AND THE PROTECTORS OF THIS GARDEN. SO WITH THOSE TWO WE PRAY GOD ALMIGHTY, MASTER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, CREATOR OF THE WORLD, GIVE GUIDANCE AND WISDOM AND STRENGTH TO THE CITY LEADERS THAT EVERY MEETING THAT THEY HAVE SHOULD BENEFIT A THIRD. THAT SHOULD BE THE INTENTION OF EVERY MEETING. THAT SHOULD BE THE OUTCOME OF EVERY MEETING. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE WISDOM THAT THEY NEED TO GOVERN AND TO DECIDE CORRECTLY. GOD, PLEASE PROTECT ALL THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO. EVERYBODY SHOULD BE HAPPY. EVERYBODY SHOULD BE HEALTHY. WE SHOULD ALL GET ALONG. AND THERE SHOULD BE CONTINUE TO BE THE GREAT CITY THAT IT IS AND CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND WITH HEALTH, WITH WEALTH, WITH HAPPINESS, WITH PROSPERITY, AND THAT IT BECOMES A BEACON OF LIGHT FOR ALL CITIES AROUND THE WORLD. AND EVERY MEETING THAT WE HAVE, IT ALWAYS BENEFITS A THIRD. [00:05:01] AND MAY WE ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE ARE THE GUARDIANS. WE ARE THE GARDENERS OF THIS WONDERFUL GARDEN, SO MAY WE BE SUCCESSFUL IN PRODUCING WONDERFUL FRUIT, AND MAY THIS CONTINUE TO BE THE GREAT CITY THAT IT IS. AMEN. AMEN. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

[Library Report on monthly statistics and activities.] ITEM NINE IS OUR LIBRARY REPORT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS SHELLEY HOLLY AND I'M THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR. YOU HAVE MY REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. OKAY, COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ON THE REPORT? SHELLEY, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE YOU AND MYRA AND THE TEAM FOR YOUR SUPPORT DURING OUR JUNETEENTH EXHIBIT OVER THE COURSE OF THREE DAYS. I THINK WE HAD OVER 10,000 PEOPLE WHO CAME, AND MANY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AT THAT EXHIBIT. WE ALSO HAD ONE OF OUR TEEN ORATORS WHO TOLD THE STORY OF JUNETEENTH THERE AT THE LIBRARY, AND WE HAD A LOT OF RESIDENTS WHO ATTENDED THAT STORYTELLING AS WELL. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND ALLOWING THAT ORGANIZATION TO EXHIBIT A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY HERE IN FRISCO. WE WERE DELIGHTED. IT WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED. IT WAS VERY NICE. AND THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF US FOR THE PARTNERSHIP. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ITEM TEN IS OUR PLAY FRISCO REPORT. [Play Frisco report on activities related to arts, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.] OKAY. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, SHANNON COATES, DIRECTOR OF PLAY, FRISCO. THANK YOU FOR THAT PROCLAMATION. THE STAFF IS GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED. SO THIS IS JUST A QUICK PICTURE. I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES. SINCE IT IS PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CELEBRATE EVERYBODY. THIS WAS OUR FIRST FAMILY FLOAT NIGHT AT THE FRC, WHICH WAS SO WELL RECEIVED. WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING ADDITIONAL ONES. AND OF COURSE, I WOULD BE REMISS TO NOT ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE PLAYED TODAY. THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY GOING ON, SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE'S HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. IF NOT, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE BECAUSE THERE ARE TONS OF WAYS TO PLAY. AS ANGELIA SAID, THIS IS PARKS AND REC MONTH, SO WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE GOT PLANNED FOR THE COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE WITH THEM AND THEN ALSO WITH OUR STAFF. WE HAVE EVERYTHING FROM ART EXHIBITS TO THE TOUCH OF TRUCK, WHICH IS ALWAYS HUGELY POPULAR, TO A PRINCESS TEA. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PRINCESS TEA, THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR THIS YEAR. OH, AND THEN ALSO SORRY, ONE MORE THING. EVERY WEDNESDAY IN JULY WE ACTUALLY HAD AN ARTIST WHO PAINTED OUR MASCOT WALNUT THE SQUIRREL, ON SOME SOME ROCKS OR STONES. AND SO EVERY WEDNESDAY A NEW CLUE IS RELEASED AND YOU HAVE TO GO FIND WALNUT THROUGHOUT FRISCO. SO PLEASE PLAY ALONG WITH US. FRISCO FREEDOM FEST, IF YOU DIDN'T REMEMBER. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THIS WEEK, SO WE'RE ALREADY STARTING TO STAGE OUTSIDE NEW LOCATION THIS YEAR, SO JULY 3RD. THE EVENTS WILL TAKE PLACE AT KALEIDOSCOPE PARK. EVERYTHING FROM PAWS AND STRIPES TO A CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT TO PARTY IN THE USA. FIVE K. ALSO NEW FOR THIS YEAR. THERE'S A DRONE SHOW, SO THAT SHOULD BE REALLY EXCITING. JULY 4TH IS OF COURSE STILL HERE IN SIMPSON PLAZA. THERE'S A FC DALLAS GAME THAT EVENING. AND SO WHEN THAT CONCLUDES, THAT'S WHEN THE FIREWORKS GO OFF. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 9:50 P.M.. ALSO FOR JULY 4TH, WE KNOW THE TRAFFIC CAN BE A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING. SO WE ARE USING FRISCO HIGH SCHOOL AND STARTING SHUTTLES AT 5 P.M. TO HELP PEOPLE GET IN AND OUT OF THIS AREA. I ALSO WANTED TO TO MENTION THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT AS WE'RE LOOKING MORE INTO TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. WE'VE USED AI TECHNOLOGY TO HAVE AN ACTUAL TRAVELER IN OUR WAGON. SO THIS IS THE WAGON THAT USED TO JUST CLUCK AT YOU WITH CRAZY CHICKENS. IT STILL DOES THAT, BUT NOW YOU CAN INTERACT WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL SHARE THE HISTORY OF EARLY FRISCO, THE PIONEERS AND FAMOUS FRISCO FAMILIES. LASTLY, WE HAVE OUR COMMUNITY KEYS PROGRAM, WHICH IS REALLY TAKING OFF. SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE CONTACT US TO DONATE PIANOS RECENTLY. WE'VE GOT LOCAL ARTISTS WHO ARE MAKING THEM LOOK EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THEY WERE BEFORE, AND PUTTING THEM OUT IN VARIOUS PLACES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO PLAY, WHETHER YOU CAN PLAY OR NOT, IT STILL COUNTS. HAVE YOU PLAYED TODAY? AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SHANNON I LIKE THE IDEA OF SPLITTING UP FREEDOM FEST WITH KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, SO I HOPE IT BRINGS A NEW AUDIENCE TO THAT NEW ASSET. YEAH. BE NICE. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I DO HAVE TWO QUICK COMMENTS THOUGH. SO ONE ON THE PAWS AND STRIPES. WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY DONE THE WEENIE DOG RACES. WE'VE ADDED CORGI RACES THIS YEAR. AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE MIGHT BE A COUPLE OF SPOTS LEFT ON THE CORGI RACES. SO IF YOU HAVE A CORGI AND YOU WANT TO TRY YOUR BEST, TAKE A LOOK AT THE PAWS AND STRIPES WEBSITE FOR FREEDOM FEST. [00:25:01] BY THE WAY, ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO COLLIN COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. SO IT'S ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE TOO. SO COME OUT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FASHION SHOW. IT'S GOING TO BE HYSTERICAL AND A LOT OF FUN. SHANNON, I DID SEE THAT YOU GUYS WERE DOING CALLING ALL HEROES AGAIN THIS YEAR AT THE WATER PARK. AND SO WOULD YOU JUST GIVE A PLUG TO THAT? BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH, NOT JUST OUR PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT OUR MILITARY. ABSOLUTELY. SO CALLING ALL HEROES IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE FAVORITE EVENTS, NOT ONLY, I THINK FOR THE COMMUNITY, BUT FOR THE STAFF. IT'S CONTINUED TO GROW. SO WE DO INCLUDE, OF COURSE, OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND INVITE THEM TO COME OUT WITH THEIR FAMILIES TO ENJOY THE WATER PARK SO THEY GET TO EXPERIENCE IT FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE IT OPENS TO EVERYBODY ELSE. AND THEN WE USUALLY HAVE CONCESSIONS AND DIFFERENT SNACKS AND THINGS THAT WE DO FOR THEM. IS THAT AVAILABLE FOR VETERANS AS WELL? YES. OKAY. YES. SHANNON, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE PIANO DONATION. CAN YOU TELL PEOPLE WHERE THEY NEED TO CALL FOR TO DONATE THE PIANO? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW. I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE THAT WE'D LIKE TO DONATE FROM OUR CHURCH, SO WE WERE HOPING TO DONATE IT. AND AT SOME POINT WHEN WE FINISHED DOWNTOWN, IF WE COULD HAVE A PREFERENCE IN TERMS OF LOCATION, WE'D LOVE TO PUT IT IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND HAVE PEOPLE PLAY THEIR FAVORITE HYMN. SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO, BUT WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TO GET THAT DONATED. SO AND THERE MAY BE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE THAT SAME QUESTION. CAN YOU JUST TELL US WHERE TO CALL? SURE, ABSOLUTELY. YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL OUR MAIN LINE. SO I WILL TELL YOU, OUR PUBLIC ART ADMINISTRATOR, STEPHEN ROSS, IS THE ONE WHO REALLY IS CURATING THE PROGRAM. BUT IF YOU CALL US AT 292-6500, YOU CAN CALL ME DIRECTLY IF YOU'D LIKE, AT 292-6510 . AND WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE THOSE DONATIONS. IT'S JUST IT'S SUCH A GREAT CONCEPT AND I HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET A CHANCE TO SEE PIANOS ALL AROUND FRISCO THAT ARE BEAUTIFULLY PAINTED AND PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE AND MAKE MUSIC IN THE CITY. THAT'S OUR PLAN. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S 972-292. YES, NINE. SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. 972-292. I ONLY HEARD SEVEN DIGITS. I APOLOGIZE. YES 972-292-6500 OR 972-292-6510. THAT'S MY LINE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. ITEM 11 IS OUR ENGINEERING REPORT. [Engineering Services Monthly Report on planning, design, and construction of roadways, traffic control, water utilities, parks, and trails.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JASON BRODIGAN, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES. I'M JUST GOING TO QUICKLY HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF ROADWAY PROJECTS THAT WE DON'T TALK AS MUCH ABOUT. PANTHER CREEK PARKWAY. PAVING IS UNDERWAY. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM LEFT PICTURE, THAT PAVEMENT IS PAVING ALL 36FT WIDE IN THAT DIRECTION. THAT'S AN IMPRESSIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. WE OUGHT TO BE DOING WE OUGHT TO BE PAVING OPERATIONS FOR MOST OF JULY AND AUGUST, WITH THE INTENT OF OPENING THE FIRST LANES OF TRAFFIC IN SEPTEMBER FOR LANES, PROBABLY AT FIRST. AND THEN WE WOULD SPEND THE REST OF THE REST OF THE YEAR FINISHING OUT MEDIANS AND LANDSCAPING, ETC. THE OTHER ONE IS PGA PARKWAY. TWO LANES HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAVED THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE PROJECT. AND NOW THAT WE'RE IN JULY, I CAN SAY AT SOME POINT THIS MONTH WE WILL SWITCH TO THOSE TWO NEW LANES AND GET ON WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECT, WHICH IS PROBABLY ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE WE ARE DONE. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU. JASON. COUNCIL. WHAT QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. ITEM 12 IS OUR PUBLIC WORKS MONTHLY REPORT. [Public Works Monthly Report on water production, service requests, and stormwater updates.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GABE JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. I'VE GOT A FEW SLIDES I WANT TO TOUCH ON. IN MAY, WE CELEBRATED NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK. WE ALSO DID A COORDINATED EVENT WITH THE LIBRARY, AND WE HAD 400 ATTENDEES. WE HAD TRUCKS OUT. WE HAD THE BUCKET TRUCK. A LOT OF FUN. A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THE FOYER. SO WE APPRECIATE THE LIBRARY SPONSORING US FOR THAT. JUST FOR THE MONTH, THIS IS ACTUALLY MAY'S NUMBERS. 14,000 SERVICE REQUESTS, WHICH WORKED INTO ABOUT 3700 WORK ORDERS. TCEQ DOES INSPECTIONS WITH OUR STORMWATER TEAM AND CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. THEY WERE DOING ALL THE ALL FOLLOWING ALL THE PROTOCOLS FROM THE MS4. SO, GOOD JOB AND KUDOS TO PERRY HART'S GROUP. AND THEN OUR MAINTENANCE GUYS ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS DOING IMPROVEMENTS ON TEEL PARKWAY AND THE SAHALLEE DRIVE AND COMMONWEALTH DRIVE. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT BRAD WOOLLEY AND HIS GROUP ARE WORKING ON. WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GABE. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. BUT I DID SEE IN OUR REPORT A VERY POPULAR EVENT IS COMING UP RIGHT BEFORE OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SO DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT JUNK OR JUNK? I WOULD SO SAME, IT'S A WITH THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON, SO PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE MAP. I HOPE THAT WAS IN THERE. AND WE'LL BE POSTING IT ON THE WEBSITE. WITH THE DOWNTOWN. [00:30:01] THE QUEUING IS STILL AS MUCH. JUST BE WITH THE CHANGEOVER. IT'S A LITTLE COMPLICATED, BUT THE MAP SHOULD BE UPDATED. AND REMIND ME AGAIN OF THE MONTH OR THE THE WEEKEND OF THAT. SORRY. IT'S AUGUST 2ND. THANK YOU. MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ITEM 13 IS OUR COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS OR ANY UPDATES. ANY OF THOSE? PROBABLY NOT. NOPE. OKAY. AND THAT WILL TAKE US TO CITIZEN INPUT. [CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)] WE HAVE A FEW COMMENT CARDS TO SPEAK. YES. FOR PUBLIC INPUT. WE'VE GOT SEVERAL CARDS HERE, AND LET ME CALL UP ERIC HANSON AND MELINDA PRESTON, IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN AS WELL. AND THEN DAN ELMER AND JENNIFER LOONEY, AND THEN I'LL READ THROUGH THE REST OF THESE AS WE MOVE THROUGH OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT. WE'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES FOR CITIZEN INPUT, AND WE ASK THAT YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. NOT MY FIRST RODEO. HONORABLE MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL . MY NAME IS ERIC HANSON. I LIVE AT 8195 SHACKLEFORD DRIVE IN LAWLER PARK. I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO WELCOME OUR TWO NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND ALSO TAKE A MINUTE TO REVIEW THE JOURNEY THAT WE'VE TAKEN ON THE PROPOSED DOG PARK IN BACCHUS PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE. OUR DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY STARTED NOVEMBER OF 2023, WHEN A $500,000 PLUS DESIGN CONTRACT WAS APPROVED FOR A $5 MILLION DOG PARK THERE IN BACCHUS PARK. OVER THE NEXT SEVEN COUNCIL MEETINGS, THE RESIDENTS OF LAWLER PARK, EDGEWOOD AND CYPRESS CREEK EXPRESSED OUR OPPOSITION. IN ADDITION, WE INVITED COUNCIL MEMBERS TO WALK THE SITE TO UNDERSTAND OUR CONCERNS BETTER. MANY OF YOU TOOK US UP ON THAT INVITATION. TONIGHT, I'D LIKE TO EXTEND THAT INVITATION TO OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL. AFTER HEARING FROM THE RESIDENTS, THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO PAUSE THE PROJECT AND ASK PARKS TO LOOK FOR AN ALTERNATE LOCATION. WE ARE STILL HOPEFUL THAT AN ALTERNATE LOCATION CAN BE FOUND EITHER ANOTHER PART OF BACCHUS PARK OR IN A LESS FORESTED AREA OR ANOTHER PARK. TO DATE, IT IS STILL ON PAUSE. FURTHER, WE UNDERSTAND THAT PARKS HAS NOT RULED OUT THIS LOCATION. THIS COMES AS A DISAPPOINTMENT AS WE HAVE NOT SEEN OR HEARD ANYONE TAKE THE TIME TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS LOCATION AT A COUNCIL MEETING. AS WE'VE SAID MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO DOG PARKS. ONLY THE LOCATION OF THIS FORESTED AREA IN THE PARK. OUR VIEW ALSO ALIGNS WITH THE NEW PARKS PLANS AND THEIR STATED GOALS TO MINIMIZE RESOURCE DISTURBANCE BY PRESERVING NATURAL RESOURCES AND TREE CANOPY. WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH OUR NEW MEMBERS. WE'D LOVE TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE SITE SO YOU UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT OUR FRAME OF REFERENCE IS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MELINDA PRESTON. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MEN AND WOMEN. AND I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME OUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, BURT THAKUR AND JARED ELAD. WE'RE SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE. SO FRIDAY, SEVERAL OF US WENT OUT TO THE MUSIC IN THE PARK. IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT. INCREDIBLE BAND. BUT, GUYS, WE HAD NO BATHROOMS, AND SO WE HAD TO GO TO THE RESTAURANTS. AND THE RESTAURANTS WERE NOT VERY HAPPY. AND SO THEY PUT OUT A SIGN SAYING IN ORDER TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, YOU HAD TO BUY A BEER. TOTALLY GET IT. BUT NEXT TIME WHEN WE'RE HAVING EVENTS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PORTA POTTY OR SOMETHING. THIS BUILDING OPENED SOMETHING. I HAD FOUR GRANDKIDS THAT WERE CROSSING THEIR LEGS TRYING TO MAKE IT. SO IF WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING FOR THE PUBLIC, IT'S JUST VERY IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE HAVING SUCH A HUGE EVENT. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE DOWNTOWN. I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN A HUGE TOPIC. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL BUSINESSES DOWN THERE. GUYS THEY'RE HURTING. I WOULD REALLY LOVE FOR US TO TAKE SOME OF THE MONEY FROM THE BUCKETS AND GIVE SOME MONEY TO THE BUSINESSES IN DOWNTOWN TO HELP THEM OUT. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS. THEY HAVE REALLY SUFFERED GOING TO SUMMER MOON AND SEEING HOW IT WAS, SEEING HOW IT IS TODAY. WE DEFINITELY NEED TO TO HELP OUT OUR OWN. [00:35:04] THESE ARE OUR OWN BUSINESSES, OUR OWN NEIGHBORS, THE PEOPLE FROM OUR OWN CITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DAN ELMER AND THEN JENNIFER LOONEY AND JESSE RIGGINS AND MARK [INAUDIBLE]. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS DAN ELMER. I LIVE AT FIVE, FIVE, EIGHT NINE BROOKVILLE LANE IN LONE STAR RANCH. YOU'VE SEEN ME SPEAK BEFORE, IF YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ME, I'VE LOST ABOUT 40 POUNDS. AND I DON'T QUITE LOOK LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER KEATING QUITE YET. BUT I DO HOPE TO CHALLENGE HIM TO AN ARM WRESTLING MATCH HERE AT A LATER COUNCIL MEETING. BUT I JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STATE OF THINGS IN THE CITY. I'VE SPOKEN SEVERAL TIMES AT THESE MEETINGS ABOUT MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE TONE IN THE LEADERSHIP AND CITY COUNCIL , AND SINCE THE LAST TIME I SPOKE, I'VE BECOME MORE DISAPPOINTED. THERE'S A POPULAR WEST WING EPISODE WHERE THE CHIEF OF STAFF USES A LATIN PHRASE WHICH I'M GOING TO BUTCHER. BUT IT'S VOX POPULI, VOX DEI, AND IT'S THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE VOICE OF THE VOICE OF GOD. THIS COUNCIL IN THIS CITY, INCLUDING OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AT TIMES HAS BEHAVED WITH CONDUCT THAT DOES NOT RESPECT THE VOTERS. AND WHEN I LOOK AT THIS LAST, LAST ELECTION, IT'S BEEN THE MOST VICIOUS ELECTION I'VE SEEN IN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT IN MY LIFE. I'VE LIVED IN MILWAUKEE, I'VE LIVED IN CHICAGO, I'VE LIVED IN OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS, WHICH IS EXACTLY LIKE FRISCO. AND I'VE LIVED HERE. WE'VE. IT'S BEEN SAID THAT PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS WERE HIRED TO TRY AND DO OPPOSITION RESEARCH AND OUT ANYTHING THEY COULD FIND ABOUT CANDIDATES IN THIS LAST ELECTION. I'VE HAD BOARD MEMBERS, COMMISSION MEMBERS, TALK TO ME ABOUT THE OPPOSITION RESEARCH THAT THEY DID, TRYING TO UNDERMINE A CANDIDATE SEARCHING FOR EVIDENCE THAT ONE OF THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS MAYBE ISN'T ACTUALLY MARRIED AS HE SAYS THAT HE IS. IT'S LOW. WE'VE HAD FORMER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ORGANIZE A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE THAT SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT A CANDIDATE IN THIS LAST RACE. WE'VE HAD A VERY INSENSITIVE SIGN SHOW UP AT A POLLING PLACE, AND MULTIPLE ELECTED OFFICIALS WERE THERE, AND NOBODY DID ANYTHING OTHER THAN, TO MY UNDERSTANDING, MISTER KEATING SENT SOMEONE INTO THE BUILDING WHILE HE WAS WEARING AN ELECTION SHIRT. IT WASN'T ALLOWED UNDER THE BUILDING TO GET THE ELECTION JUDGE, BUT HE'S THE ONLY ONE IN MR. THAKUR. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THERE, AND HE SAID SOMETHING. OTHER PEOPLE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. ANOTHER CANDIDATE IS ALLEGED TO HAVE LAUGHED AT THE SITUATION. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREE SPEECH AND RESPECTING YOUR PRIVILEGE TO BE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, OR TO BE A BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBER. WHEN A BOARD OR COMMISSION MEMBERS CONDUCT RISES TO THE LEVEL THAT AT A JOB THEY WOULD GET FIRED FOR HARASSMENT. THEY ARE NOT FIT TO SERVE ON A BOARD OF COMMISSION IN THE CITY OF FRISCO. IN OUR LAST MEETING, MAYOR CHENEY, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE IDEA THAT WE NEEDED TO GET ALONG AND WE NEEDED TO BE PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS TO EACH OTHER, AND THAT THIS CHAMBER WAS SACRED. AND MY COMMENT WAS THAT THE CITY IS SACRED AND NOT EVERYONE IS BEHAVING LIKE IT. THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE CONDEMNED THE IMAGERY THAT WAS SHOWN AT FIRE STATION EIGHT THIS YEAR. THEY WERE SILENT. THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE CONDEMNED THE TONE IN THE COMMENTS FROM FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER MEINERSHAGEN. WE CAN ACKNOWLEDGE BOTH THAT IT'S TERRIBLE TO HAVE PRIVATE COMMENTS THAT YOU WERE MADE BE RELEASED INTO THE WORLD, BUT ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENTIMENT CAN TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT WHERE THE CITY IS AT. MY GRANDFATHER USED TO SAY, AND I USE THIS PHRASE A LOT, THAT THE FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD. THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I USED TO REMEMBER THE TITAN'S QUOTE. ATTITUDE REFLECTS LEADERSHIP, CAPTAIN. IF I WAS ON CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT, I'D BE CALLING FOR A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN MAYOR CHENEY'S LEADERSHIP. AND IT'S NOT JUST AGAINST YOU, MR. MAYOR, BUT IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE THE LEADER AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SET THE TONE. I WAS AT POLLING PLACES. I WATCHED FAMILY MEMBERS OF PEOPLE ON THIS DAIS TRY TO MOBILIZE CODE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T LIKE. WE'VE WATCHED ALL KINDS OF JUST ABHORRENT BEHAVIOR. THERE'S AN OLD SCRIPTURE IN PSALM 30. IT SAYS THAT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. AND THE REALITY IS THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MORNING, THERE'S DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN. AND WHEN THE LIGHT COMES, IT ALMOST PUSHES OUT THE DARKNESS. BUT YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THE DARKNESS. I KNOW EVERYONE'S EAGER TO MOVE FORWARD. EVERYONE'S EAGER TO PROJECT UNITY. WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE VOTERS TONIGHT THAT WE RESPECTED THEM. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE APPOINTED COUNCILMAN LIVINGSTON TO OFFICE A LEADERSHIP ROLE ON THE COUNCIL THIS EVENING. WE DIDN'T DO THAT. I'M LOOKING FOR THE TONE TO CHANGE, AND THE CITIZENS ARE OWED THAT. [00:40:01] AND IT'S TIME THAT THIS BODY AND THAT THOSE WHO SERVE ON BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES START TO RESPECT THE VOTERS. AND I THINK THAT IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THE DARKNESS AND TO BRING IN THE LIGHT, YOU ALL NEED TO EVALUATE THE CONDUCT OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON A BOARD OF COMMISSION. AND IF THEY PARTICIPATED IN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOR THAT I HAD DESCRIBED IN THIS LAST ELECTION, THEY NEED TO GO. THANK YOU. JENNIFER LOONEY. I'M JENNIFER LOONEY, AND I LIVE AT 6012 PS ELAINE IN FRISCO, TEXAS IN THE COMMUNITY. AND I WOULD LOVE TO WELCOME AND CONGRATULATE OUR NEW MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, ESPECIALLY MY FORMER COLLEAGUE JARED. IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU UP THERE. SO I'M ALL ABOUT THE ARTS AND I'M ALL ABOUT THE PARKS, SO I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON THE PARKS AND REC BOARD.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TWO NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS JESSE. I'M AT 11201 ALEXANDRIA DRIVE, FRISCO. I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT ABOUT PAWS AND STRIPES, WHICH I DON'T NEED TO BE HERE BECAUSE LAURA AND SHANNON DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION. FROM 6 TO 8:30 AT KALEIDOSCOPE PARK, WHICH TWO DAYS AGO WAS ONE YEAR SINCE KALEIDOSCOPE PARK INSTALLED THEIR BUTTERFLY NET. SO LET'S CONGRATULATE THEM AS WELL FOR A BEAUTIFUL ART PIECE TO FRISCO.

AND THEN ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO PLAY FRISCO FOR THEIR MONTH OF PARKS. THEY DO SO MUCH FOR FRISCO AND WE ALL APPRECIATE THEM. SO THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT GUYS. MARK [INAUDIBLE] I KNOW YOU'RE WELL AWARE OF WHO I AM. TONIGHT IS REALLY HARD TO BE HERE BECAUSE I'M WATCHING THIS COUNCIL SWEAR IN MEMBERS AND PROMISE OATHS TO THE CONSTITUTION. AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT MY STORY EXPOSES YOUR CORRUPTION. YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, I EMAILED YOU ALL THE MY BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE PGA. AND I SAID, HEY, COME BY AND SAY HI. AND YOU GUYS SENT THAT TO THE POLICE AND THE PGA. YOU HAD ME CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED FROM PROPERTY THAT I NEVER STEPPED FOOT ON. [00:45:04] ON TOP OF THAT, YOU CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED ME FROM MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT, WHEN YOU PROTECTED THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT OF 2 JANUARY SIX INSURRECTIONISTS AT THE PROTECT WHITE AMERICANS PROTEST. SO YOU'RE SPENDING $50,000 TO PROTECT THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT, RIGHT? BUT YET YOU COLLUDED WITH THE PGA TO HAVE ME CRIMINALLY TRESPASS FOR MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT? YOU KNOW, AND THE WORST THING IS I'M OUT THERE GOING TO SPEAK UP FOR WOMEN. I'M OUT THERE GOING TO SPEAK UP HOW T-MOBILE HATES WOMEN, HOW T-MOBILE PROVIDES UNLIMITED MONEY FOR TRANSGENDER SURGERIES WHILE THEY LIMIT BENEFITS FOR IN VITRO. LIKE YOU COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A WORST TOPIC TO SIT THERE AND HAVE ME CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED ON BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST EXPOSING YOUR CORRUPTION AND YOU CAN ALL SIT UP THERE AND YOU CAN ALL DO THIS OVER AND OVER, BECAUSE CORRUPTION IS JUST NORMAL NOW. AND IT'S JUST IT'S IT'S SAD. I MEAN, LOOK AT LOOK AT HOW THE CARMELO ANTHONY SITUATION. I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE DONE YOUR DAMN JOB AND COLLIN COUNTY WOULD HAVE DONE THEIR JOB. THIS KID AND HIS FAMILY WOULDN'T HAVE RAISED $540,000 AFTER STABBING ANOTHER KID AT A TRACK MEET. IT'S THIS. IT HURTS TO KNOW THAT I'M HERE TELLING YOU THAT I'M A WHISTLEBLOWER. I'M EXPOSING CORPORATE CORRUPTION FROM T-MOBILE, AND YOU GUYS ARE WORKING AGAINST ME. YOU SHOULD BE HELPING ME. YOU SHOULD BE. YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME. YOU SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO HOLD T-MOBILE ACCOUNTABLE FOR CENSORING CUSTOMER TEXT MESSAGES, OR HOW THEY VIOLATED MY RIGHTS BY LOCKING ME OUT OF THE OFFICE FOR TEN MONTHS. I'M JUST I'M DISGUSTED AND IT MAKES MY IT MAKES MY STOMACH HURT BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE HERE THAT HAVE HOPE IN Y'ALL, AND I KNOW YOU'RE CORRUPTED. I KNOW THERE'S NO HOPE. AND POOR JARED AND BURT, YOU KNOW. CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS. BUT YOU'VE JOINED A TEAM THAT'S FULL OF CORRUPTION, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY BECAUSE IT JUST KEEPS FALLING ON DEAF EARS. THIS SHIT'S HARD, DUDE. YOU THOUGHT IT WAS NERVE. TAKES A LOT OF NERVES TO GET UP THERE AND ACCEPT YOUR. YOU'RE WINNING. YOU SHOULD SEE THE NERVES THAT IT TAKES FOR ME TO COME UP HERE AND SPEAK, AND THEN KNOW THAT Y'ALL ARE TURNING THE CAMERA TO MY BACK. YOU GUYS WON'T EVEN SHOW MY FACE. LAST MEETING, I CAME AND SAT IN THIS SEAT. YOU MOVED THE CAMERA OVER THERE? I SAT IN THAT ONE. YOU MOVE IT OVER THERE. YOU GUYS ARE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. I'M SURE ALL OF YOU ARE WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, WHICH IS GREAT TOO, RIGHT? LIKE, I'M SURE YOU HAVE BUSINESSES THAT GET INTERTWINED INTO THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND YOU MAKE MONEY DOING IT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW ALL OF THIS WORKS. I'VE REACHED OUT TO TEXAS, YOU KNOW, ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON. HE WON'T HELP ME. YOU KNOW, I'VE REACHED OUT TO GOVERNOR ABBOTT. HE WON'T HELP ME. PAM BONDI. SHE WON'T HELP ME. PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE WON'T HELP ME. I REACH OUT TO THE NATIONAL WHISTLEBLOWER PROGRAM. I'M 22 MONTHS INTO BEING A WHISTLEBLOWER, AND I HAVE TO COME HERE AND SPEAK BECAUSE T-MOBILE HAS WORKED WITH BIG TECH TO CENSOR ME ON EVERY DAMN PLATFORM I'VE USED. BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW ME AND MY STORY. PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW T-MOBILE IS VIOLATING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND HOW THEY'RE THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT REALLY OPERATING THE MOST VALUABLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY IN THE WORLD. PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT. AND I HAVE THE COURAGE TO COME UP HERE AND TALK ABOUT IT. AND I'M GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK EVERY MEETING. WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT. AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD ME CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED FROM THE PGA, BECAUSE YOU REALLY TEED ME UP FOR MY LAWSUIT THAT IT WILL BE AGAINST THE STATE OF TEXAS, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ALREADY KNOW THAT COLLIN COUNTY IS COLLUDING WITH T-MOBILE TO VIOLATE MY RIGHTS. AND NOW YOU GUYS HAD ME CRIMINALLY TRESPASS FOR USING MY FIRST AMENDMENT, RIGHT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW, LIKE I HAD I HAD A WHOLE PLAN ON MY SPEECH, ON WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WHEN I CAME UP HERE. AND THEN WHEN I SAT BACK THERE AND I WATCHED THE WHOLE CHARADES GO DOWN. AND I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS DON'T CARE ABOUT THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. THAT'S WHAT HURTS. AND KNOWING THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW MY FACE. I HAVE TO DO THIS. I HAVE TO LOOK BACK HERE IF I WANT ANYONE TO SEE MY FACE. WHY DO THEY NOT SHOW MY FACE? BUT THEY SHOW EVERYBODY ELSE'S FACE? BECAUSE T-MOBILE PROBABLY TOLD YOU TO DO IT. BECAUSE YOU'RE COLLUDING WITH A CORPORATION TO SILENCE A WHISTLEBLOWER. OKAY. CAMERON KRAMER AND DONNA SCHMIDT AND THEN MR. LEE.

IT'S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. I'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE HERITAGE ASSOCIATION. AS YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF PARTIAL TO IT, AND HISTORY IS MY THING. AND I WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN THE CITY AND THE PARK AND REC DECIDED TO ANIMATE AN AI, THE WAGON THAT THE HERITAGE ASSOCIATION BOUGHT. IT'S REALLY VERY INTERESTING. I SAW SOME CHILDREN LISTENING TO IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT'S REALLY VERY INFORMATIVE. SHAWNEE TRAIL COWBOY DAY IS COMING UP SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH FROM 11 TO 4, AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL ALL BE ABLE TO JOIN US FOR A LOT OF FUN AND DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE'VE ORGANIZED FOR YOU, AND WE ARE STILL WORKING ON FRISCO 125 2727, THAT WILL BE FRISCO'S 125TH BIRTHDAY. SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON.

I CAME HERE TO THE CITY FOR A NEW LIFE, AND FRISCO HAS GIVEN ME A GOOD LIFE AND I HOPE THAT I CONTINUE TO SERVE IN SOME WAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THE LAST BLUE CARD I HAVE FOR THIS EVENING IS FOR MR. LEE, MR. LEE. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY WHO ATTENDED ATTEND HERE. TODAY I WANT TO TELL YOU. THE SUBJECT MY TALKING IS THE. WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH? THERE IS SEVERAL REASON. MAIN REASON IS THE MEMORIAL DAY OF CREATION AND MEMORIAL DAY OF REDEMPTION. AND THAT IS THE TENTH COMMANDMENT OF GOD. THE MIDDLE PART OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. THAT IS IMPORTANT. AND. I WANT TO INTRODUCE FROM THE BIBLE. GENESIS IS THE FIRST BIBLE. REVELATION IS THE LAST BIBLE. FROM REVELATION TWO TEXT, I WANT TO READ IT. AND THE GENESIS ONE, EXODUS ONE, I WILL READ IT. LISTEN. THE OTHER ARE THAT TO HIS COMMANDMENTS THAT.

HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE FAITH IN JESUS. THAT IS TWO TEXTS IN LAST BIBLE. AND FIRST, THE BIBLE TEXT IS GENESIS CHAPTER TWO. ONE, TWO, THREE. GENESIS CHAPTER TWO ONE, TWO, THREE. THUS THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOSTS OF THE HOST OF THEM. AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY, GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE, AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH. HE HAD MADE. GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT, BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORKS, WORK WHICH GOD HAD CREATED AND MADE. REVELATION. THE SECOND BOOK. REVELATION.

HEADS UP. THAT MOVES TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM 32 IS A PUBLIC HEARING . [Public Hearing: A request for a Specific Use Permit for an Office/Warehouse/Distribution Center on one lot on 16.2± acres on the north side of SH 121, 1,060± feet west of Custer Road, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Highway. Neighborhood #27. Specific Use Permit Case No. SUP25-0003. Applicant: Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, LLC. (Development Services/JH)] REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE, DISTRIBUTION CENTER ON ONE LOT ON 16.2 ACRES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF STATE HIGHWAY 121, 1060FT WEST OF CUSTER ROAD, AND TO CONSIDER DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME ZONED HIGHWAY NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 27, SPECIFIC USE PERMIT CASE NUMBER SUP 25-0003 APPLICANT LANGAN ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES. YES, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL . AND AT LEAST FOR JARED AND BURT, WHO WERE NOT ON COUNCIL AT THE TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS CASE HAS APPEARED BEFORE CITY COUNCIL . THE FIRST TIME IT WAS DENIED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 3. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WAS TO WAIT UNTIL THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS UPDATED. AND THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS BEEN UPDATED AND PREVIOUSLY ON THAT CASE, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE CASE BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 2. COMMISSIONER COHEN AND MAYOR WERE IN OPPOSITION TO IT. THIS TIME AROUND, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A 4 TO 1. COMMISSIONER MARA WAS ABSENT. STEVE COHEN VOTED IN OPPOSITION, WHO FELT THAT LONG TERM, THIS MAY NOT BE THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LONG TERM WILL BE. WHAT'S AROUND THE PROPERTY IS TO THE EAST. YOU HAVE THE NORTH TEXAS WATER MUNICIPAL DISTRICT CONTRACTOR'S YARD. TO THE NORTH IS PARKLAND AND AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND TO THE EAST IS THE WALMART CENTER. SO ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY'RE ASKING FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO DO THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION CENTER ON THE PROPERTY. STAFF WORKED WITH THEM ON THE ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDINGS. THE BAY DOORS ARE INTERNAL TO THE SITE, AND SO THEY'RE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, CLOSEST TO 121, AND THEY'RE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING IN THE BACK. THE BUILDING IN THE BACK HAS 29 BAY DOORS. THE BUILDING ON THE SOUTH SIDE HAS 28 MORE DOORS ON THE LARGER BUILDING, WHICH IS THE NORTHERN BUILDING OF THE SITE. ALSO, WHEN WE WERE PLANNING AND WORKING WITH THEM ON THEIR OPEN SPACE, THEY'RE PROVIDING MORE OPEN SPACE THAN REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE, BY THE ORDINANCE THAT COMES OUT OF LIKE 1.6 ACRES OR ROUGHLY ABOUT TWO. AND THIS IS THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL THAT RUNS PART OF THE SIX CITY HIKING BIKE TRAIL THAT WILL EVENTUALLY TRANSVERSE ALL THE WAY ACROSS FRISCO AND LEAD DOWN TO WHITE ROCK LAKE. SO WE WERE SENSITIVE AND WORKING WITH THEM. THE APPLICANT WAS GOOD ABOUT WORKING WITH US AND I'LL GO INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER. BUT ALSO IN THESE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDINGS, THEY WORKED WITH US TO BEEF UP THE LANDSCAPING. SO THE TRAIL'S LOCATED AT A LOWER ELEVATION. THERE'S ROUGHLY ABOUT 30 FOOT ELEVATION FROM THIS GOING DOWN TO THE TRAIL. YOU GOT THE CREEK DOWN THERE, SO THERE'S AN ELEVATION CHANGE. SO BY THE TIME YOU SEE THE TERRACING OF THE LANDSCAPING ALONG THERE, ALONG WITH THESE, IT WILL BE SOMEWHAT CHALLENGING IN SEEING THE TRUCKS IN THOSE AREAS. SO THIS IS A COMBINATION OF NATIVE VEGETATION DROUGHT TOLERANT SPECIES. THESE EXHIBITS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SGP ORDINANCE, IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF CITY COUNCIL AND PART OF THE MAJOR CREEK ORDINANCE THAT WE APPLY TO ALL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS ALONG A MAJOR CREEK. THEY GOT TO PICK AT LEAST THREE MINIMUM FACTORS, AND THEY'RE MEETING MORE THAN THREE. THEY'RE DOING BRICK AND STONE VENEER WALLS ON THIS. THEY'RE MAKING CONNECTIONS TO THE HIKING BIKE TRAIL. GOT COMPLIMENTARY LANDSCAPING IN THESE AREAS AND WORKING ON SCREENING. BUT ALL OF THIS, WHAT YOU SEE HERE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE TRAILS ARE AT A LOWER ELEVATION. AND THEN THE OFFICE WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS UP ON THE HIGHER GROUND. SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE, THESE WILL BE THE MINIMUM STANDARDS. SO FOR JARED AND BURT WHEN WE DO THESE STEPS, WHEN WE DO PLAN DEVELOPMENTS, WE INCORPORATE THESE EXHIBITS INTO THE ORDINANCE. [01:05:07] AND THE REASON FOR THAT IN CASE THEY DON'T BUILD AND SOMEBODY ELSE COMES ALONG, IT'S DECIDED THIS IS THE ORDINANCE THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET ON THE PROPERTY. SO AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS 4 TO 1. AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL. JOHN, CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST SUBMISSION THAT WE SAW? I WOULD SAY THE LANDSCAPE TREATMENT THAT THEY'RE DOING ALONG THE TRAIL IS AT A HIGHER FINISH, AND THE BUILDINGS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME AS THEY WERE LAST TIME. AND THEY GO BACK TO THOSE OTHER. I'M SORRY. SORRY ABOUT JUMPING AROUND AND ALL OF THIS. OKAY. THERE'S THE ELEVATIONS. SO YOU GOT THE WATER COURSE ON THE BUILDING. THAT'S THE AREA JUST BELOW THE GLASS THERE, EXCEPT AT THE ENTRANCES. THEY'RE DOING A THICKER GLASS THERE. AND SO IF YOU DO A ONE INCH THICK GLASS OR THICKER, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THE WATER COURSE. BUT THESE ARE THE MAIN ENTRANCES. THIS IS CONCRETE TILT WALL. THEY HAVE A COMBINATION OF BROWN AND LIGHT BEIGE COLORS THAT BE APPLIED TO THE WALL, SO THEY'RE GIVING THEM A HIGH FINISH LOOK ALONG THE 121. AND THIS GROUP HAS DEVELOPED SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTS ALONG IN ALLEN AND LEWISVILLE. OKAY. AND THEN THE CONNECTION TO THE TRAIL AND THE OVERLOOKS WERE THE THE BOARDWALK OR WHATEVER OVERLOOK THAT THEY HAVE ON THER WAS THAT IN THE LAST CASE ? THAT WAS IN THE LAST CASE. YES. OKAY. COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THAT'S 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS TARA WARREN. I'M WITH EAST GROUP PROPERTIES. I UNDERSTAND IT'S LATE THIS EVENING, SO I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE, AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE FOR US. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. MOVE TO CLOSE. MOTION TO CLOSE BY. JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES SIX ZERO. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. COUNCIL. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? JOHN, IN THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION OF THIS WERE THE BAY DOORS ALWAYS LOCATED INTERNALLY? WAS THAT A CHANGE IN TERMS OF WHERE THE BAY DOORS LOCATED? YES. THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALWAYS ASKED THAT THEY BE INTERNAL, NOT FACING 121 OR FACING TOWARDS THE TRAIL. AND JUST LIKE THE LAST ONE, WE BEEFED UP THOSE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS. AS I POINTED OUT ON THE SITE PLAN TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL SCREENING OF THAT. SO NOW IF YOU GET UP AND THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE BAY DOORS. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE. FROM ANY DIRECTION THAT YOU'RE FACING 121 OR THE OTHER. IF YOU'RE DRIVING ME TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK, YOU'D BE ABLE TO SAY, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DOMINATE. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE APPLICANT BECAUSE THEY TOOK THE FEEDBACK THAT WE DID HAVE AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE LANDSCAPING AND MADE IT BETTER. I WAS FOR THIS INITIALLY, BUT I THINK THIS MADE THE PROJECT EVEN BETTER FROM WHAT YOU GUYS DID, TO TRY AND INCORPORATE THE TRAIL AND KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL AND SEPARATE FROM THE SPACE, BUT ALSO AMENITIES IT IN A REALLY BEAUTIFUL WAY ACTUALLY. JOHN, I ATTENDED THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING 1 OR 2 TIMES AGO ABOUT THIS PROJECT. I UNDERSTAND WE'RE SPENDING OR THEY'RE SPENDING A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE ON THE LANDSCAPING, RIGHT? I CAN'T CONFIRM THAT FOR YOU. OKAY. HOW DO WE CONFIRM THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT AND NOT GO WITH AN OLDER PLAN? WELL, WHAT'S, AS I WAS POINTED OUT ON THOSE CONCEPT EXHIBITS, HAVE SHOWN THAT, OKAY, THAT'S THE MINIMUM STANDARDS. THEY WILL HAVE TO COMPLY. AND AS WE SPOKE THE OTHER DAY. THERE'S TIMES THAT SOMEBODY GETS ONE OF THESE APPROVED AND THEN THEY TRY TO LOWBALL IT LATER. AND TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO OPEN UP THAT SGP AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO THAT IS THE MINIMUM STANDARD FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. GOT IT. AND THE OTHER PROJECTS THEY DO AND WHAT YOU SAID LEWISVILLE AND. WELL LEWISVILLE ALLEN ANYBODY ANYPLACE ELSE. THEY HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT GOING IN FRISCO. FLOWER MOUND. AND YOU'VE SEEN THOSE PROJECTS THERE. MY STAFF, HAVE THEY VISITED THOSE. AND YOU FEEL LIKE THAT? THOSE ARE THIS IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THOSE. IT'S JUST AS GOOD. I MEAN, THEY DO A HIGH CLASS PROJECT. YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL IF THEY LIKE AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION BECAUSE THEY GET IT LIKE A OFFICE AND RETAIL FINISH ON THE FRONT. [01:10:04] THANK YOU. SO I WANT TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON JARED'S QUESTION. YOU KNOW, THE THE RENDERING SHOWS SOME REALLY NICE MATURE TREES OR THOSE LIKE MATURE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE 30 YEARS FROM NOW OR LIKE, IS THERE A MINIMUM CALIPER REQUIREMENT OR. WELL, THERE'S A MINIMUM CALIPER THAT'S REQUIRED. IS IS SIX INCHES. ONE THING THAT DID COME UP, I DIDN'T MENTION EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION ALONG THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE, AND LET ME JUMP BACK TO THE SITE. AERIAL, YOU HAVE A TREE GROVE BACK HERE. AND SO ORIGINALLY THEY WERE PROPOSING A MASONRY WALL. AND SO IN THE DISCUSSIONS THAT P&Z, IT MAKES BETTER SENSE TO DO A LIVING SCREEN. AND THIS IS PERMITTED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE. AND A LIVING SCREEN IS A DOUBLE ROW OF TREES OR EVERGREENS. AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO DO A DOUBLE ROW OF EVERGREENS EASTERN RED CEDARS. AND THEY HAVE TO BE A MINIMUM HEIGHT OF EIGHT FEET AT PLANTING. SO IT MUST BE 6 TO 8FT. BUT WE'RE AMENDED THE ORDINANCE TO SPECIFY EIGHT FEET TO BEGIN WITH. BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING COMPLAINTS, BECAUSE SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING WAS NOT GETTING TO EIGHT FEET AS QUICKLY AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD. AND SO WE TOOK CARE OF THAT. SO THIS BLENDS THEM BETTER THAN IF THEY HAD DONE A MASONRY WALL. ONE THING THAT WAS DISCUSSED AT P&Z, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE DOING A FIVE INCH TREES ON SOME OF THIS, AND UNLESS WE CAME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER, THAT WAS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS PROPERTY ALONG THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE. SO THE LIVING SCREEN DOES A LOT BETTER. IT'S COMPLIMENTARY OF WHAT'S TO THE NORTH OFF SITE. OKAY COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? NO. NO QUESTIONS. BUT I WILL SAY TO LAURA'S POINT EARLIER I ACTUALLY VOTED AGAINST THIS INITIALLY, JOHN FOR SOME OF THE REASONS YOU TALKED ABOUT, WE HAD NOT COMPLETED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I HONESTLY WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT, AGAIN, THE LOOK AND FEEL OF 121 AND NOT LOADING THAT WITH A BUNCH OF OFFICES OR WAREHOUSE HEAVY FACILITIES THAT HAD TRUCKS COMING AND GOING. AND SO I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY LOOK AT THIS. HAVING THE BAYS BE INWARD FACING, I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT SO THAT WE DON'T SEE THE 18 WHEELER TRUCKS COMING AND GOING OFF OF 121. THE WORK THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS PUT INTO THE CREEK LANDSCAPE, THE THE TRAIL LANDSCAPE ENHANCEMENTS, I THINK, SHOW THEIR COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THAT A QUALITY PRODUCT IS PUT INTO THIS LOCATION. AND, YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY AS AS A CITY, AS WE GROW, WE NEED HIGH END INDUSTRIAL OFFICE AND DISTRIBUTION LOCATIONS IN THE CITY. AND I COULD PROBABLY HAVE, YOU KNOW, EDC VALIDATE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT TYPE B AND THOSE TYPES OF OFFICE LOCATIONS AS WELL. SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS WILL BE HIGH IN INDUSTRIAL, AS I'VE BEEN TOLD. AND SO WE WON'T HAVE THE TRADITIONAL WAREHOUSE LOOK THAT WE HAVE FURTHER DOWN 121 IN OTHER CITIES, BUT THIS WILL BE A HIGH END PRODUCT. SO WITH THAT, I'M EXCITED TO SHIFT MY VOTE IN SUPPORT OF THIS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT COUNCIL, ANYTHING ELSE? I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE. ITEM 32. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. TAKE US TO ITEM 33. CONSIDER AN ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION IN MULTIPLE SERIES. [Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance authorizing the issuance of Certificates of Obligation in multiple series; delegating the authority to certain city officials to execute certain documents relating to the sale of the certificates; approving and authorizing an official statement, instruments, and procedures relating to said certificates; and enacting other provisions relating to the subject. (Financial Services/DC)] DELEGATING THE AUTHORITY TO CERTAIN CITY OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE CERTAIN DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE CERTIFICATES. APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT, INSTRUMENTS AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO SAID CERTIFICATES, AND ENACTING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR COUNCIL. DERRICK COTTEN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER TONIGHT, WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF A PARAMETERS ORDINANCE TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION FOR TWO MAIN USES. THE FIRST $70 MILLION FOR VARIOUS WATER AND SEWER PROJECTS. THE MAIN PROJECT IN THAT $70 MILLION IS $50 MILLION FOR A WATER TANK AND PUMP STATION, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL $20 MILLION FOR THE PHASE ONE OF GRANT PARK. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS OR USES ARE SELF-SUPPORTING, MEANING THEY'RE FUNDED FROM OTHER REVENUE SOURCES, OTHER REVENUE SOURCES, THAN PROPERTY TAXES. THE WATER AND SEWER BONDS WOULD BE FUNDED THROUGH THE RATES AND THE GRAND PARK. PHASE ONE WOULD BE FUNDED BY CDC. THE PARAMETERS FOR THE DEBT THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 92 MILLION TRUE INTEREST COSTS NOT TO EXCEED 5%, 20 YEAR BONDS AND THEY'D HAVE TO BE ISSUED WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THIS APPROVAL. [01:15:05] THIS PARAMETERS ORDINANCE AUTHORIZES MYSELF AS THE CFO, THE CITY MANAGER , AND THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SALE. IT ALSO REQUIRES THE CITY TO BE RATED BY TWO RATING AGENCIES. WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS. WE WERE RATED BY S&P AND MOODY'S, AND THEY REAFFIRMED THE CITY'S TRIPLE-A CREDIT RATING. SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? HOW MANY, HOW MANY MORE GALLONS OF WATER CAN WE PUMP TO THE CITY AS A RESULT OF THIS? I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DEFER THAT QUESTION TO OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. R OUGH, LIKE A ROUGH. I CAN'T EVEN. MORE THAN ONE. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE ASTUTE ANSWER. APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 15 MILLION GALLONS PER YEAR. YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE THAT YOU KNEW THAT BY THE WAY. WE HAVE THE BEST ENGINEERS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 33. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THAT PASSES SIX ZERO. ITEM 34 IS CONSIDERING ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. [Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance authorizing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds; delegating the authority to certain city officials to execute certain documents relating to the sale of the Bonds; approving and authorizing an official statement, instruments, and procedures relating to the Bonds; and enacting other provisions relating to the subject. (Financial Services/DC)] DELEGATING THE AUTHORITY TO CERTAIN CITY OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE CERTAIN DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE BONDS. APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT, INSTRUMENTS AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO THE BONDS, AND ENACTING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT. GOOD EVENING. THIS IS A SECOND PARAMETER'S ORDINANCE FOR OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION, OUR GO BONDS. THESE ARE VOTER APPROVED BONDS. THESE BONDS ARE FUNDED BY THE INS OR DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE. WE'RE ASKING FOR $182.9 MILLION. THIS IS 121.1 MILLION IN NEW MONEY THAT WAS APPROVED THROUGH THE BOND COMMITTEE IN 2023 AND $61.8 MILLION IN REFUNDING OF THE SERIES 2015 DEBT ISSUANCES. WITH THAT REFUNDING, WE WOULD SAVE A PRESENT VALUE OF APPROXIMATELY $2.3 MILLION. WE DO GO THROUGH THE REFUNDING EVALUATION ON ANNUAL BASIS. ANYTIME WE'RE ABLE TO SAVE THE TAXPAYERS DOLLARS, WE LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. THE PROJECTS ON THE NEW MONEY PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES AND PUBLIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT 39.8 MILLION. STREETS AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS 53.3 MILLION. AND A PARKS, OPERATIONS AND LOGISTICS BUILDING AT $28 MILLION. THE PARAMETERS FOR THIS DEBT THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 182.9 MILLION. THE TRUE INTEREST COST NOT TO EXCEED 5%. THESE TWO ARE 20 YEAR BONDS. AND THESE BONDS HAVE TO BE SOLD AND EXECUTED WITHIN ONE YEAR OF APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SIR. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? NONE. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE. ITEM 34. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND. SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES SIX ZERO. ITEM 35 IS CONSIDER AN ACT UPON ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. [Consider and act upon adoption of a Resolution approving the fourth amended and restated bylaws of the Economic Development Corporation. (EDC/JF)] GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. WELCOME NEW MEMBERS. TONIGHT, STAFF FROM THE EDC, ALONG WITH SUPPORT FROM OUR EDC BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION, APPROVING THE AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF THE FRISCO EDC. REALLY, IT SERVES TWO PURPOSES. THE FIRST ONE IS JUST SOME GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS, WHICH I'LL GO THROUGH HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. AND THE SECOND ITEM IS TO CONSIDER ACTUALLY CREATING AN EX-OFFICIO ROLE WHICH WOULD GIVE CITY COUNCIL FLEXIBILITY ON FUTURE BOARD APPOINTMENTS AS WELL. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A HIGH LEVEL LEADER WHO COULD SERVE ON THE EDC BOARD, PERHAPS AS AN ADVISOR OR SOMEONE WHO COULD ALSO SERVE AS A CHAMPION TO HELP SELL FRISCO. WHAT WE'VE NOTICED IS THAT IN THE PAST, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REALLY HIGHLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES WHO COULD POTENTIALLY SERVE ON THE EDC BOARD. CANDIDATES, FOR INSTANCE, WHO SERVED IN WORKING CAPACITIES HERE IN FRISCO WORKING FOR SOME OF OUR MAJOR EMPLOYERS, BUT DID NOT MEET THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT. SO CREATING THIS NEW EIGHTH POSITION AS AN EX OFFICIO ROLE AS A NONVOTING POSITION WOULD THEN ALLOW FOR COUNCIL TO APPOINT SOMEONE TO SERVE ON THE EDC BOARD WITHOUT HAVING TO SERVE, WITHOUT HAVING TO MEET THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT. SO WITH THAT, THIS IS NOT A COMPENSATED POSITION. THIS POSITION WOULD HAVE MOST OF THE SAME BENEFITS OF A REGULAR EDC BOARD MEMBER. HOWEVER, THIS POSITION, BECAUSE IT'S A NON-VOTING MEMBER, ALSO WOULD NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE QUORUM EITHER. WE SEE THIS AS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT STAGGERED TERMS THAN OUR TRADITIONAL EDC BOARD MEMBERS. TWO YEAR TERMS FOR THREE TERMS, MAXIMUM OR SIX CONTIGUOUS YEARS, AND COUNCIL CAN APPOINT, [01:20:06] FILL, OR CHANGE THIS APPOINTEE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. SO IF THERE'S A QUALIFIED CANDIDATE THAT YOU FEEL MEETS THOSE QUALIFICATIONS, AND WE'VE OUTLINED SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE'RE SHARING WITH YOU AS A SUBSEQUENT TO TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION, THEN CERTAINLY YOU COULD APPOINT IT DURING THE APPOINTMENT CYCLE OR ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SO THAT THAT'S AN OPTIONAL POSITION THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO APPOINT SOMEONE. ON THE HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS. THIS ESSENTIALLY UPDATES SOME OF THE LANGUAGE REFERRING TO SOME OF THE STATE STATUTES. SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE CHANGES FROM ONE LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO THE NEXT. AND SO WE'RE JUST DOING SOME HOUSEKEEPING WITH THAT. SECOND OF ALL, IT ALSO UPDATES SOME OF THE LANGUAGE AUTHORIZING EDC PRESIDENT TO HAVE THE SAME SPENDING AUTHORITY AS THE CITY MANAGER . BRINGS THAT BACK UP TO THE SAME LEVEL AS WHAT IS CURRENT PRACTICE AND POLICY. NEXT WE ARE UPDATING THE USE OF GENDER PRONOUNS. HE/SHE JUST BRINGING IT IN ACCORDANCE LIKE WE HAVE FOR ALL THE OTHER CITIES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR THEIR BYLAWS AND SUCH, AND THEN REMOVING OUTDATED LANGUAGE FOR THE BOARD TRANSITION. YOU MAY RECALL BACK IN 2017-18 TIMEFRAME, SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS WERE APPOINTED IN STAGGERED TERMS. ALL OF THOSE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ESSENTIALLY EITHER TERMED OUT OR THAT TRANSITION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. SO REALLY WE'RE JUST REMOVING SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE FROM THE BYLAWS IN ORDER TO CLEAN IT UP. AND THEN FINALLY, AS COUNCIL GAVE US A DIRECTION LAST YEAR, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FIS BOARD TRUSTEE AS AN ACTIVE TRUSTEE. SO THAT'S ALSO REFLECTED IN THESE CHANGES. WITH THAT, STAFF MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT THESE, TO APPROVE THE THE RESOLUTION AND CERTAINLY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU JASON. COUNCIL WE WERE REVIEWED THIS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. BUT WHAT FURTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE. I HAVE A QUESTION ON NUMBER TWO. THE HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS I THINK THOSE ARE ALL GREAT. NUMBER ONE, I KNOW WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS WITH THIS BOARD MEMBER BEING LIKE THE REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS, THOUGH. YES, I'LL BE THERE. THIS PERSON WOULD HAVE THE SAME RESPONSIBILITY TO COME TO ALL THE BOARD MEETINGS. THEY WOULD BE INVITED TO DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT THE BOARD IS INVITED TO, ETC. AND SO THEY WOULD BE LIKE WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING AN INCENTIVE OR SOMETHING, THEY'D BE ABLE TO GIVE THEIR INPUT AND SPEAK TO THIS. THAT'S CORRECT. THEY HAVE PRIVILEGES TO DELIBERATE AND TO PROVIDE THEIR INPUT. THEY JUST WOULD NOT HAVE A VOTE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO IT, AND I JUST WANT TO BE A NO VOTE TONIGHT. I GUESS I HAVE TO VOTE NO ON BOTH OF THEM. IT'S ONE. IS IT ONE? ONE ITEM. I BELIEVE ONE ITEM IS ONE ITEM. YES. I JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION IS, AFTER THINKING IT THROUGH THAT IF SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE DISCUSSING AND HELPING MAKE A DECISION TO SPEND FRISCO TAXPAYER DOLLARS, THEY SHOULD BE A FRISCO TAXPAYER. I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS IS, BUT I THINK THE THE PERSON THAT'S HELPING SWAY THAT DECISION SHOULD ALSO BE AS WELL. SO I UNDERSTOOD. I HEAR YOU FIRST OF ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRESENTING THIS. I'M GOING TO ASK A QUESTION REGARDING THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT AS WELL. AS IT FOLLOWS WITH ITEM ONE, HOW IN YOUR HISTORICAL DEALING WITH THE EDC BOARD, ESSENTIALLY, HOW MUCH INFLUENCE WOULD A PERSON LIKE THAT HAVE ON THE REST OF THE BOARD? I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S A DIFFICULT THING TO QUANTIFY INFLUENCE, BUT HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME? WELL, I WILL SAY THIS. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO BRING IN, LET'S SAY, A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY, FORTUNE 1000, THERE ARE SOME HIGH LEVEL LEADERS. SOMETIME UNDERSTANDING HOW SOMEONE IN THAT WORLD OPERATES, HOW THEY THINK IT INFORMS THE BOARD AS THEY LOOK AT MAYBE WHAT'S THE THE PRESENTATION WE'RE PUTTING FORWARD. MAYBE IT'S A PROPOSAL. AGAIN, IT COULD BE AN INCENTIVE CONTRACT. IT MAY JUST BE HOW WE'RE PREPARING THE RIGHT TEAM, PERHAPS TO WELCOME DURING A HOSTING EVENT. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS OF WHAT WE THINK OF WHAT THIS ROLE COULD PROVIDE. WE PREVIOUSLY HAD SOMEONE WHO WAS A VERY HIGH LEVEL LEADER, NOT A FORTUNE 500, AND AS A BOARD MEMBER, SHE WAS MARRIED TO A FORTUNE 500 CEO. SO WE SOMETIMES GOT THE BENEFIT OF SOME OF THAT AS WELL. AS YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CHARGES OF THE EDC IS TO NOT JUST TO BRING GREAT COMPANIES TO FRISCO, BUT TO BE VERY PROACTIVE AND REACH OUT TO THOSE CORPORATE EXECUTIVES NOT JUST WORKING THROUGH THE REAL ESTATE BROKERS AND CONSULTANTS, WHICH IS AN INTERMEDIARY. SO REALLY INPUT WE RECEIVED FROM THE BOARD AND FROM STAFF WAS THAT HAVING SOMEONE WHO KIND OF LIVES IN THAT WORLD SPEAKS THAT LANGUAGE, WHO CAN HELP INFORM THE REST OF THE BOARD? I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HOW MUCH INFLUENCE THAT PERSON WOULD HAVE ON A DECISION, BUT CERTAINLY ADVISING ON KIND OF HOW WE PREPARE OR HOW WE CERTAINLY APPROACH DIFFERENT MATTERS OF BUSINESS. WE DO FEEL LIKE IT IS IMPORTANT, BUT YEAH. WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU EXPLAINING THAT. I AM FULLY IN LINE WITH ITEM NUMBER TWO. HOWEVER, I AM PRETTY RESOLUTE IN MY COMMITMENT TO ENSURE THAT FISCAL RESIDENTS SERVE ON FRISCO BOARDS AND DON'T HAVE TO COMPETE WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF FRISCO FOR OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY WANT, AND ADDING TO THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WITH EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE. [01:25:02] YOU KNOW, WE HAD A MEMBER OF A FORTUNE 100 COMPANY C-SUITE HERE TONIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE THING IS THAT THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR ME AS A NON-VOTING MEMBER, EVEN IN AN EX OFFICIO POSITION, I'D BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT. SO FOR ME, IT'S A NO, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. I HAVE A QUESTION. SO WHEN YOU CAME UP WITH THIS PARTICULAR POSITION, IS IT USED IN OTHER CITIES. AND AND IT'S BEEN EFFECTIVE FOR RECRUITING COMPANIES. YEAH. SO I'VE WORKED ON BOTH THE PRIVATE SIDE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE PUBLIC SIDE FOR THE BETTER PART OF 25 YEARS. AND SO I'VE SEEN EXECUTIVES SERVE IN THESE ADVISORY CAPACITIES. I'VE SEEN THEM SERVED WITHIN BOARDS, IN VOTING ROLES AND IN NONVOTING ROLES AS WELL. I'VE PERSONALLY SEEN IT AS BEEN BENEFIT FOR THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO OPEN DOORS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE THOSE NETWORKS. IT CREATES A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS, AND HAVING THAT ADVISOR ALSO CREATES A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY IF THEY'RE INVITED TO ALL THE MEETINGS. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ALL ARE ON SOME OF THESE POSITIONS. WE DID HAVE THE CITY COUNCIL GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE AND THE EDC BOARD GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE TALK THROUGH THESE OPTIONS. SO WE HAVE HAD SOME INPUT REVIEWED BY SOME OF THE MEMBERS HERE OF THE BODY, BUT CERTAINLY NOT ALL OF THEM. SO HAVE WE LOST DEALS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE SOMEONE LIKE THIS ON THE ON THE BOARD? I WOULDN'T SAY THAT WE'VE LOST DEALS, BUT CERTAINLY JUST IMPROVES OUR COMPETITIVENESS, USUALLY FROM ONE DEAL TO THE NEXT. YEAH. AND ONE THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT ALL BOARD MEMBERS, EVEN EX-OFFICIO, SERVES OUT THE WILL OF COUNCIL AND ARE ADDED WITH A VOTE OF OF DUE DILIGENCE BY CITY COUNCIL AND CAN BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME BY CITY COUNCIL IF THEY'RE NOT PERFORMING IN THE IN THE MATTER THAT CITY COUNCIL WISHES, SO THAT IS A SAFEGUARD, YOU KNOW, PUT IN PLACE, I WOULD SAY. TO YOUR QUESTION, JARED. YES. I MEAN, THIS IS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WE OFTEN LOOK FOR TO HELP WITH THE EDC. THE CHALLENGE IS THAT A LOT OF TIMES, THESE C-SUITE EXECUTIVES ARE BUSY RUNNING THEIR COMPANIES. AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY CHALLENGING AT TIMES TO RECRUIT THEM TO SERVE ON A VOLUNTEER BOARD. AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE NOTION OF BEING A TAXPAYER CITIZEN YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE C-SUITE PEOPLE ARE HEAVILY INVESTED, INVESTED IN FRISCO THROUGH THEIR BUSINESS, WHERE THEIR BUSINESS IS PAYING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE CITY, AND THEY WANT TO FIND A WAY TO GIVE BACK TO THE CITY THAT EMPLOYS, YOU KNOW, ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES AND ARE WILLING TO DONATE THEIR TIME. AND SO ALL THIS DOES IS GIVE COUNCIL THE OPTION AND THE OPPORTUNITY. SHOULD A REALLY GREAT CANDIDATE SURFACE THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO HAVE AN ADDRESS WITH THE CITY OF FRISCO, BUT IS VESTED IN OTHER WAYS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THEIR CANDIDACY. CAN WE REMOVE SOMEONE IF IT STARTS TO BE AN ISSUE, THAT EGO OR SOMETHING THAT GETS IN THE WAY OF BEING AN EFFECTIVE TEAM MEMBER? YES, COUNCIL HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO REPLACE THIS PERSON AT ANY GIVEN TIME. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE NEXT NOMINATION CYCLE. I WILL SAY TO THE MAYOR'S POINT WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS CANDIDATE, WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY FOR SOMEONE WHO WORKS IN FRISCO THAT PERHAPS DOESN'T LIVE HERE. IF WE FIND SOMEONE FROM FRISCO WHO YOU KNOW REPRESENTS US GREAT, WE'RE VERY MUCH OPEN TO THAT AS WELL. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO FORCE THE HAND FOR A NONRESIDENT TO SERVE. WE'RE CERTAINLY JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR COUNCIL. ONE CASE IN POINT, YOU KNOW, BARBARA FASHOLA, WHO YOU REFERENCED WAS A C-SUITE IN FRISCO FOR SEVERAL DECADES WITH CARRINGTON INTERNATIONAL, AND SHE SO GENEROUSLY GAVE HER TIME TO OUR FRISCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND THEY DECIDED THEY WANTED TO DOWNSIZE AND MOVED ACROSS THE STREET TO THE WINDROWS TOWER. AND SHE SUDDENLY WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO SERVE ON OUR EDC, YOU KNOW, AND SO THIS PROVISION WOULD ALLOW THAT KIND OF SCENARIO FOR HER TO CONTINUE HER WORK FOR THE EDC. MR. FORD, WOULD AN EX-OFFICIO ROLE POSSIBLY. I MEAN, JUST AS A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE, COULD IT BE FOR SOMEONE WHO POTENTIALLY TERMS OUT OF THE EDC? WOULD THIS BE ROLE POTENTIALLY BE OPEN FOR THEM AS WELL? IF SOMEONE WERE TO SERVE ON THE BOARD IN A REGULAR ROLE AND THEN COME BACK AS AN EX-OFFICIO? WE DO HAVE SOME TERM LIMITS LIMITED IN HERE, SO I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND DOUBLE CHECK THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IN THE BYLAWS. I SEEM TO RECALL THAT THEY COULDN'T JUST TURN OUT AND COME IMMEDIATELY BACK ON. I BELIEVE THERE'S AT LEAST A ONE YEAR TERM IN WHICH THEY COULD POTENTIALLY COME BACK IF COUNCIL DECIDED TO APPOINT THEM, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO APPLY. AND AS YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOT TO BE VETTED BY THE ENTIRE COUNCIL AS WELL. RIGHT. UNDERSTOOD. YEAH. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS PROCESS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS THIS HAS BEEN A NEED THAT WE'VE HAD IS WANTING TO FIND THAT C-SUITE PERSON. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN FROM TIA, BUT THEY LIVE IN PLANO OR EVEN TOYOTA, BUT THEY'RE JUST DOWN THE ROAD. WE WOULD LOVE AND WELCOME, I THINK, A FRISCO RESIDENT TO BE IN THIS ROLE. BUT AND I LIKE THE FACT I THINK WE'VE STRUCK A GOOD BALANCE HERE, THAT WE'RE NOT TAKING AWAY ONE OF OUR EXISTING POSITIONS AND GIVING IT TO A WAY TO WHERE [01:30:09] IT'S OPENING UP TO A BROADER AUDIENCE. BUT I DO THINK THIS GIVES US A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY FOR BRINGING IN POTENTIALLY VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS THAT WE MAY HAVE. LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW WE'VE GOT NEEDS FOR BANKERS ARE ALL ROLLING OFF OF OUR EDC, SO IF WE DON'T FIND AN EDC BANKER, THEN MAYBE WE CAN FIND ONE FROM A HIGH LEVEL EXECUTIVE IN ONE OF THESE AREAS THAT COULD HELP CONTRIBUTE THAT SKILL SET THAT WE NEED. SO I DO APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HAVE COME TOGETHER WITH TRYING TO BRING THIS TOGETHER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK. ANOTHER EXAMPLE JUST, YOU KNOW, WILEY ACTS MOVE THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE BUSINESS HERE. THEY SUPPORT THE MILITARY FIRST RESPONDERS WITH THEIR PRODUCTS PLUS SPORTSMEN AROUND THE WORLD. AND IT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE TO HAVE MILES FREEMAN ON SERVING ON AN EDC BOARD. BUT HE DOESN'T LIVE IN THE CITY OF FRISCO. BUT HIS BUSINESS IS HERE. AND THEY MOVED ALL OF IT FROM CALIFORNIA TO BE HERE IN FRISCO. SO IT'S JUST ANOTHER REAL WORLD EXAMPLE OF SOMEBODY WHO, YOU KNOW, WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HELP SELL FRISCO AND HAS AN INCREDIBLE STORY AND WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, NOT SAYING THAT HE'S APPLYING OR ANYTHING, BUT TO SOMEBODY WHO I KNOW THAT WOULD WOULD FILL THIS ROLE IN A GREAT WAY. SO IT'S JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF. BUT CONVERSELY, TO OFFER A COUNTERPOINT TO THAT, WE HAVE COLONELS. WE HAVE GENERALS HERE WHO WANT TO ACTIVELY SERVE ON BOARDS. WE HAVE, LIKE I SAID, C-SUITE MEMBERS WHO ARE NO LONGER EMPLOYED IN THE C-SUITE, WHO ACTIVELY WANT TO SERVE HERE IN FRISCO. AND I THINK THAT WHILE IT'S NOT EX CATHEDRA, IT'S EX OFFICIO, RIGHT. IT'S STILL AN ENORMOUSLY INFLUENTIAL ROLE. AND I THINK THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO, WE HAVE, OUR GREATEST RESOURCE HERE IS HUMAN CAPITAL. AND I WOULD LOVE FOR MEMBERS OF RESIDENTS OF FRISCO TO, TO EVEN BE IN THIS ROLE. SO THANK YOU, JASON. I WILL SAY THAT THIS, THIS CONVERSATION I REMEMBER WHEN THIS ORIGINATED AND THIS WAS BORN OUT OF A NEED FOR FLEXIBILITY FOR COUNCIL. I REMEMBER HAVING AN EXECUTIVE IN MIND WHO WE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE ON OUR EDC, BUT SHE AGAIN WAS NOT LOCATED HERE, BUT HAD A VESTED INTEREST WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT SHE WORKED WITH. SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GO BACK TO WHY THIS BYLAW UPDATE WAS EVEN NEEDED, IT WAS BORN OUT OF A NEED THAT OUR HANDS WERE TIED. WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CERTAIN PROFILES BE INTERESTED IN BEING ON OUR BOARD, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT. SO I'M SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE, AGAIN, WE'RE NOT LOCKED IN TO HAVING TO CHOOSE SOMEONE IF THERE'S A GREAT EXECUTIVE THAT IS A FRISCO RESIDENT AND AND WE HAVE THAT NEED ON OUR BOARD, WE CAN CERTAINLY AS A COUNCIL CHOOSE TO SELECT THAT INDIVIDUAL. BUT WHAT THIS DOES FOR MY PERSPECTIVE IS SIMPLY GIVE US THE FLEXIBILITY TO CHOOSE A GREAT CANDIDATE TO MEET A NEED THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ON THE BOARD WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE RESIDENCY. SO I'M SUPPORTIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND TO NOTE THAT WE STARTED THIS PROCESS ABOUT A YEAR AGO DURING THE LAST NOMINATION CYCLE, I RECALL IT WAS RIGHT. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GIVE SOMEONE THAT. OH, I THOUGHT YOU SAID SOMETHING. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GIVE FRISCO RESIDENTS FIRST ROUND OF REFUSAL. TYPE OF THING. THEY GET TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. THAT IF, HYPOTHETICALLY, WE HAVE THREE FRISCO RESIDENTS, THEY GET CONSIDERATION. AND IF AND THEN IF THERE'S NONE OF THAT AVAILABLE, THEN WE CAN GO TO SOMEONE THAT'S A NONRESIDENT. THAT THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS FROM CITY COUNCIL . AND I WOULD IMAGINE CITY COUNCIL WOULD. ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, IF THERE WAS A FRISCO RESIDENT WOULD CHOOSE THAT. THAT'S CORRECT. IF I MAY OFFER A CLARIFYING COMMENT AS WELL. THE EDC BOARD MAKES A RECOMMENDATION, USUALLY THROUGH SOME FORM OF A WRITTEN COMMUNICATION OR A MEMO TO THE COUNCIL ABOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS, THE SKILLS, THE BACKGROUNDS AND EXPERIENCES WE'RE SEEKING TO SERVE. THE BOARD DOES NOT TAKE AN OFFICIAL POSITION ON SPECIFIC CANDIDATES AS A BODY, AND PRESENT THOSE SO THAT DELIBERATION PROCESS TRULY IS LIES WITH THE COUNCIL. AND COUNCIL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO FILL THIS POSITION. THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S JUST AVAILABLE AS A TOOL AS IT MAY BE FILLED BY THE COUNCIL, AS SHOULD COUNCIL SEE A CANDIDATE THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE INPUT INTO THE ECONOMIC BE PART OF THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IT COULD SIT EMPTY FOREVER. THEORETICALLY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE. ITEM 35. SECOND. MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND BY WAS.
