Aug 05, 2025 City Council

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

>> SUAD, AND THEN AFTER HIM, WE WILL HAVE DANIEL ELMER.

>> HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND ALL THE GUESTS HERE.

MY NAME IS SUAD BEJTOVIC.

I LIVE IN FRISCO ON PISA LANE.

I'M SPEAKING THIS EVENING AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE VISUAL ARTS GUILD OF FRISCO, LOCAL NONPROFIT SUPPORTING AND ADVOCATING FOR LOCAL VISUAL ARTISTS.

I'M HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS IN A MEANINGFUL WAY, MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS SHOWING UP FOR ART EVENTS.

IN JUST OVER TWO WEEKS, FROM AUGUST 22-24TH, VISUAL ARTS GUILD IS PRESENTING THE SECOND ANNUAL ART IN THE ARENA FESTIVAL, AN INDOOR FINE ART FESTIVAL.

OVER 50 ARTISTS WILL DISPLAY THEIR ARTWORKS AND THEIR BOOTS ON THE FLOOR OF THE COMERICA CENTER IN FRISCO.

EVENT IS OPEN AND FREE FOR THE PUBLIC ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, AND PARKING IS FREE AS WELL.

YOU MAY WANT TO BUY PASSES FOR THE FRIDAY NIGHT VIP RECEPTION, WHICH WILL INCLUDE A BUFFET DINNER AND AN AWARD CEREMONY FOR THE COMPETITIVE ART GALLERY.

THE JURORS WILL BE GALLERY OWNER DISHA BOARD AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF VISIT FRISCO MARLA ROE.

WE DESIGNED THIS EVENT IN TRUE FRISCO FASHION BY CREATING MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIPS.

WE COULDN'T PULL IT OFF WITHOUT A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE FRISCO ARTS FOUNDATION.

THANK YOU, DONNA, AND SIMILAR GENEROSITY FROM DALLAS STARS.

TO CREATE A TRULY MEMORABLE EVENT, WE ARE, AGAIN, PARTNERING WITH MUSICIANS FROM MELODY OF HOPE, WHO WILL BE PLAYING LIVE IN THE ARENA THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EVENT, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH FRISCO ISD ON AN ART GALLERY FOR HIGH SCHOOL ART STUDENTS.

MAIN JUROR FOR THAT GALLERY WILL BE JEB MATULICH, OF TUMBLEWEED TEXTILES, AND A SPECIAL JUROR WILL AGAIN BE MARLA ROE.

THE TWO OF THEM WILL ANNOUNCE THE PRIZES IN A CEREMONY ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

MANY MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE VAGF.ORG.

FRISCO CITY COUNCIL HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF VISUAL ARTS.

MAYOR CHENEY SHOWED OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP BY HELPING US CREATE A PRESTIGIOUS ART IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE PROGRAM, WHICH WE HOPE WILL CONTINUE EVEN AFTER HE LEAVES OFFICE.

HE WAS ALSO A SPECIAL JUROR AT ONE OF OUR SHOWS, AND SO WERE COUNCILMAN KEATING AND COUNCILWOMAN PELHAM, AS WELL AS CITY MANAGER PEARSON.

IN ADDITION, COUNCILWOMAN RUMMEL IS A FREQUENT VISITOR TO OUR EVENTS, WHICH WE GREATLY APPRECIATE.

I ALSO INVITE THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL TO FOLLOW THESE EXAMPLES AND DEMONSTRATE TO

[00:45:02]

THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO THAT WE HAVE A THRIVING ARTS COMMUNITY, AND THAT OUR EVENTS ARE INSPIRING, INTERESTING, AND ENTERTAINING, NOT TO MENTION GOOD FOR THE CITY ECONOMY, AND IF A PIECE OF ART CATCHES YOUR EYE, CONSIDER PURCHASING IT FURTHER SUPPORTING A LOCAL BUSINESS.

BECAUSE REMEMBER, YOU SHOULD BUY ART FROM LIVING ARTISTS BECAUSE THE DEAD ONES DON'T NEED THE MONEY.

>> THANK YOU. DANIEL ELMER, AND THEN FOLLOWING UP WILL BE AUSTIN STIGLITZ.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DAN ELMER.

I LIVE IN LONESTAR RANCH.

MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO FRISCO IN 2019, AND WHEN WE WERE DECIDING WHERE WE WERE GOING TO LIVE, FRISCO WASN'T THE FIRST PLACE THAT WE HAD ON OUR RADAR, AND ONE OF THE REASONS WAS BECAUSE OF THE PACE OF DEVELOPMENT AND OUR CONCERN ABOUT THE CITY THAT WE WERE MOVING FROM BECAME OVERDEVELOPED WITH APARTMENTS, AND THE DENSITY GOT TO THIS POINT WHERE IT WAS UNMANAGEABLE, AND WHAT WE HAD HEARD WAS THAT FRISCO WAS TRENDING IN THAT DIRECTION, AND SO WHEN WE MOVED HERE IN 2019, IT WASN'T A SURPRISE WHEN THE FIRST SERIES OF ELECTIONS OCCURRED THAT DENSITY TRAFFIC AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT WAS TOP OF PRIORITY FOR RESIDENTS IN THE CITY.

TONIGHT, I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE THAT HAS FAR REACHING IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE ALL DEBATING AND FOCUSING OUR FULL CITY ATTENTION ON THE PERFORMING ART CENTER PROJECT.

SENATE BILL 840 WAS QUIETLY PASSED BY THE TEXAS STATE LEGISLATOR, AND THIS HAS FAR REACHING AND RADICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR CITIES LIKE FRISCO.

WHAT SENATE BILL 840 DOES IS IT ALLOWS PROPERTY OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS TO PREEMPT LOCAL AND MUNICIPAL REGULATIONS, INCLUDING ZONING LAWS, THAT MIGHT RESTRICT OR HINDER THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIXED USE OR MULTI FAMILY HOUSING IN COMMERCIALLY ZONED AREAS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IT CREATES THE RIGHT TO BUILD MULTI FAMILY ON ANY COMMERCIALLY ZONED PROPERTY, SO LONG AS YOU MEET THE STANDARDS SET BY THE STATE AND THE CITY HAS NO POWER TO SET STANDARDS THAT ARE MORE CONSERVATIVE.

FOR EXAMPLE, A COMMERCIALLY ZONED PROPERTY COULD PUT A MULTI FAMILY A NEW DEVELOPMENT OR A REDEVELOPMENT OF MULTIFAMILY USE FOR UP TO 36 UNITS PER ACRE AND NOT HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE MUNICIPALITY.

THEY CAN BUILD A BUILDING THAT'S 45 FEET IN HEIGHT OR THE HEIGHT OF THE HIGHEST HEIGHT ALLOWED FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL ZONED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY WITHOUT HAVING TO COME TO THE MUNICIPALITY FOR APPROVAL.

I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME OVER THE LAST ELECTION CYCLE OF THE LAST FEW MONTHS GETTING TO KNOW SOME OF YOU ON CITY COUNCIL.

I'VE SPENT TIME WITH CURRENT AND FORMER MAYORS IN OTHER CITIES, CURRENT CITY COUNCILMEN, AND WOMEN IN OTHER CITIES IN NORTH TEXAS, AND THERE'S A MIRACULOUS THING THAT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE DEBATING AND FIGHTING ABOUT A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

THEY WERE ENGAGING WITH THEIR REGIONAL AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND INFLUENCING THE DIRECTION OF THIS BILL.

WHEN THIS BILL HIT THE LEGISLATURE, IT WAS GOING TO APPLY TO THE STATE OF TEXAS.

COMMUNITIES LIKE FLOWER MOUND, NORTH LAKE, WEST LAKE, SOUTH LAKE.

THOSE OFFICIALS GOT TOGETHER WITH THEIR STATE REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEY HAD INFLUENCE.

THEY GOT THE BILL BRACKETED, WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS LIMITED TO COMMUNITIES OF 150,000 OR MORE IN COUNTIES OF 300,000 OR MORE.

THE INTENTION OF A BILL LIKE THIS IS TO SPUR ON HOUSING, BUT ALSO THE BRACKETING THE INTENTION WAS TO PUSH THE REQUIREMENTS ONTO LARGE CITIES WHEN THE SMALLER ONES OBJECTED.

MY FAMILY AND I MOVED TO FRISCO TO LIVE IN A FAMILY FRIENDLY SUBURB.

WE'RE VERY CONCERNED THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS NOW SIGNED INTO LAW, THE GOVERNOR SIGNED INTO LAW A BILL THAT COULD ALLOW A FIVE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE STREET MALL PROPERTY RIGHT OUTSIDE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

MY POINT IS THIS.

YOU'VE HEARD ME SPEAK A LOT ABOUT DESIRES AND HOPES AND WISHES FOR THE CITY IN RECENT MONTHS.

YOU'VE HEARD ME PROVIDE CRITICAL FEEDBACK.

I'VE BEEN TOLD TO BE QUIET BY CITY OFFICIALS.

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT MY WILLINGNESS TO BE VOCAL UNDERMINES MY CREDIBILITY.

OTHER CITIZENS HAVE BEEN TOLD SIMILAR THINGS.

THEY MISSED A HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND AND ADVOCATE FOR THE THINGS THAT MATTER TO FRISCO RESIDENTS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE OUT DOING THINGS LIKE A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, WHICH WE SAID WAS CRITICAL TO RETAINING AND ATTRACTING CITIZENS TO THIS CITY.

I THINK TRAFFIC DENSITY, CRIME, THOSE THINGS ARE CRITICAL TO RETAINING PEOPLE IN OUR CITY, AND MY HOPE IS THAT WE HAVEN'T FULLY MISSED THE BOAT.

[00:50:01]

THIS LEGISLATION HAS LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES FOR THE CITY.

MY HOPE IS THAT THIS COUNCIL, AND I BELIEVE IT'S AT LEAST TAKING UP THESE DISCUSSIONS, BUT MY HOPE IS THAT WE AVAIL OURSELVES OF EVERY SINGLE LEGAL AVENUE AND THAT WE START FOCUSING NOT JUST ON FRISCO'S GREATNESS, BUT IN EMPLOYING A LEADERSHIP STYLE THAT'S ROOTED IN HUMILITY AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE NEED RELATIONSHIPS WITH REGIONAL PARTNERS IN THE WAY THAT OTHER CITIES AROUND US HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST DECADE. THANK YOU.

>> JUST AS A FACTUAL CORRECTION, CITY STAFF DID WORK DILIGENTLY IN FIGHTING THIS LEGISLATION WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE WITH THAT AS WERE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> THIS IS NOT A DEBATE.

I RESPOND TO FACTUALLY TO YOUR COMMENTS.

>> I APPRECIATE IT. THIS IS OUT OF TIME FOR RESPONSE.

>> NOW, AUSTIN STIGLITZ, AND FOLLOWING THAT WILL BE DONNA SCHMITTLER.

>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL AND MAYOR CHENEY.

MY NAME IS AUSTIN STIGLITZ.

MY FAMILY OWNS SOCCER CITY FRISCO, RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE.

I DO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS VERY VALUABLE, AND I HOPE TO USE IT EFFICIENTLY HERE TONIGHT.

MY DAD IS IN ATTENDANCE HERE TONIGHT, JAMIE STIGLITZ.

HE IS THE OWNER OF SOCCER CITY FRISCO.

MY REASON FOR SPEAKING TONIGHT IS JUST TO SHARE SOME OF THE EFFECTS THAT THE REAL DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION HAS HAD ON OUR BUSINESS, ON US PERSONALLY, THE EMPLOYEES WE HAVE AND MANY MORE.

A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON SOCCER CITY FRISCO IS THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE TOP SOCCER SPECIALTY STORES IN THE COUNTRY.

WE HAVE BEEN OPEN IN THE CITY OF FRISCO FOR AROUND 20 YEARS NOW, AND MY FATHER TOOK OVER AROUND 10 YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE BEEN A STAPLE IN THE REAL DISTRICT, AND HAVE SERVED SOCCER PLAYERS, PARENTS, FANS, COACHES, CLUBS, AND SCHOOLS ACROSS FRISCO, NORTH TEXAS, FW, TEXAS, THE UNITED STATES, AND EVEN INTERNATIONALLY.

>> I WILL SAY THAT I ONLY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT SOCCER CITY FRISCO HAS FACED IN THE FACE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION.

I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES THAT EACH BUSINESS HAS FACED, BUT I DO REPRESENT THE FACT THAT EACH BUSINESS HAS BEEN DEVASTATED BY THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

UP UNTIL RECENTLY, SOCCER CITY FRISCO HAS NEVER TAKEN A LOSS YEAR-TO-YEAR ON SALES, AND HAVE ONLY INCREASED IN SALES, EXCLUDING COVID 2020.

OUR BEST YEAR TO DATE WAS 2022, AND OUR SECOND BEST YEAR TO DATE WAS 2023.

THE ONLY REASON THERE'S A DIFFERENCE THERE IS IF YOU REALIZE IT'S ALMOST FOUR YEARS AGO, WHICH WAS THE LAST TIME THE WORLD CUP HAPPENED, WE USUALLY SEE A SPIKE IN SALES DURING THE WORLD CUP YEARS.

IF WE TAKE THE WORLD CUP OUT OF THINGS, 2023 WOULD HAVE BEEN OUR BEST YEAR TO DATE.

WITH CONSTRUCTION BEGINNING IN JULY OF 2024, I CAN TELL YOU THAT SOCCER CITY FRISCO HAS LOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS AS A RESULT OF THIS PROJECT, $500,000 BETWEEN 2023-2024.

BETWEEN JULY 2023 AND JULY 2024, WHICH IS OUR BUSIEST MONTH, WE'RE DOWN 40%.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT JULY 2025 JUST WRAPPED UP, AND WE'RE EVEN WORSE.

WE DO LOOK AT REGISTER RINGS AS AN IDEA OF HOW MANY CUSTOMERS ARE COMING INTO OUR STORE, AND BETWEEN JULY 23RD AND JULY OF 2025, WE'RE DOWN 50%.

IF THE TREND CONTINUES FOR 2025 BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE FIRST SEVEN MONTHS, WE WILL FINISH THE YEAR WORSE OFF THAN WE DID COVID 2020, WHICH IS WHEN WE LOCKED OUR DOORS FOR THREE MONTHS.

THIS CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN DEVASTATING.

I WILL TELL YOU THE IMPLEMENTED SOLUTIONS WHILE I RECOGNIZE THE CREATIVITY AND THE EFFORT, I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE PEOPLE WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT WORKED FOR OUR BUSINESS.

THE RECEIPTS RACE, WHILE WE PUT UP POSTERS, MAKE POSTS ON WEBSITES, AND ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, WE'VE NEVER BEEN ASKED BY A SINGLE CUSTOMER WITHIN THE LAST YEAR ABOUT THE RACE.

THE GIFT CARD PROGRAM HAS BROUGHT NO SUCCESS TO SOCCER CITY FRISCO.

IN JULY, WE RECEIVED THREE GIFT CARDS.

ONE OF THEM WAS FROM OUR OWN EMPLOYEE.

WHEN WE'RE DOWN $100,000 JULY 2024 TO JULY 2023, $150 IS ALMOST NOT WORTH THE HASSLE FOR US TO GO AND CHASE RECEIPTS AND TO GO AND TRACK DOWN THE MONEY.

WHAT I'LL SAY IS THAT WE ALSO ARE CONCERNED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS AN INCREASED CONCENTRATION OF PEOPLE IN THE RAIL DISTRICT, WHICH AS A BUSINESS, IS A GOOD THING.

WE HAVE A NEW APARTMENT BUILDING BEING BUILT RIGHT BEHIND OUR STORE, AND WITH THE WORLD CUP COMING, YOU THINK WE WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY.

I UNDERSTAND THERE NEEDS TO BE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUT THE FACT THAT BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT TOOK PLACE,

[00:55:01]

THERE WAS TWO LANES.

DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, THERE'S TWO LANES.

POST CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, THERE WILL BE TWO LANES TO MY UNDERSTANDING, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG THERE.

THE WHITEN SIDEWALKS WHILE IT MAY BRING SOME BUSINESS, WILL NEVER MATCH THE AMOUNT OF COST THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR BUSINESS SINCE THE PROJECT STARTED.

ASIDE FROM THE BUSINESS LOSSES, THERE'S ALSO BEEN A PERSONAL PRICE TO PAY.

ANY BUSINESS WITH A LOAN THAT HAS A COVENANTS ATTACHED TO IT CANNOT SURVIVE DURING THESE TIMES.

I CAN TELL YOU WE'VE BEEN FORCED BY THE BANK WHO DOESN'T CARE WHEN WE SEND PICTURES OF TRACTORS, EXCAVATORS, BROKEN PIPES WHO ARE SPEWING WATER ALL OVER OUR WINDOWS.

THEY'LL FORCE US OUT. WE'VE HAD TO REFINANCE $100,000 IN LOAN FEES, $200,000 IN WORKING CAPITAL.

PLUS HIGH INTEREST RATES WILL COST US OVER $400,000 THERE ALONE.

WE HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR OVER 10 YEARS, AND WE WANT TO KEEP THEM EMPLOYED, EXCLUDING A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS, ONE OF WHO HAD BRAIN SURGERY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

THIS IS OUR STORY.

WE GIVE THE BALL IN YOUR HANDS AND HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP BUSINESSES. THANK YOU.

THEN FOLLOWING AFTER HER, WE HAVE JUDY MORRISON.

>> NEXT, WE HAVE DONNA.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

DONNA SCHMITTLER, 7037 WHITE ROCK COURT FRISCO, TEXAS.

HAPPY TO SEE YOU ALL.

I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE HERITAGE ASSOCIATION AND SHAWNEE TRAIL COWBOY DAY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH, 11:00-4:00, AND IT'LL BE A FUN FAMILY EVENT, AS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

THE WILD WEST SHOWS, PETTING ZOO, STAGECOACH RIDES, PONY RIDES, SO WE HOPE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL JOIN US, AND I WILL BE ASKING LATER ON FOR A PROCLAMATION.

BUT AS IT'S A CUSTOM OF THE HERITAGE ASSOCIATION, WE'D LIKE TO GIVE EVERYONE ON COUNCIL, AND ALL THE CITY MANAGERS, FRISCO, THE FIRST 100 YEARS.

WE CELEBRATED THAT IN 2002, SO I'D LIKE TO GIVE OUR TWO NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS EACH A COPY OF THIS BOOK FOR THEM, AND TO ALSO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT FRISCO IS GOING TO BE 125 YEARS OLD IN FEBRUARY OF 2027.

WE HAVE SEVERAL COMMITTEES WORKING ON.

WE'RE WORKING WITH PLAY FRISCO.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE MUSEUM.

WE'RE WORKING TO WORK ON EVENTS AND PLANNING FOR 125, BUT WE ARE WRITING ANOTHER BOOK.

AT MY AGE, I'M ONLY WORRYING ABOUT THE NEXT 25 YEARS.

BUT SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN FRISCO FROM 2002 TO WHAT'S GOING TO BE 2027.

IT'S MORE THAN HAPPENED IN THE FIRST 100 YEARS.

THE FIRST 100 YEARS WAS THE PEOPLE, THE PIONEERS THAT BUILT THE TOWN.

WE ARE ALL THE PIONEERS THAT ARE BUILDING THE CITY, SO I HOPE THAT MR. ELAD AND MR. THAKUR ENJOY THEIR BOOKS AND LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR HISTORY.

HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL ALL SUPPORT SHAWNEE TRAIL COWBOY DAY. THANK YOU.

>> NEXT IS JUDY MORRISON, AND THEN FOLLOWING AFTER HER WILL BE DOMINIC PARKS JR.

>> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE BURT AND JARED FOR GETTING ON CITY COUNCIL.

I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU GUYS UP THERE.

SECONDLY, I WANTED TO SAY THAT IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO SEE THE POLICE PULLING PEOPLE OVER AND GIVING THEM SPEEDING TICKETS AND FOR RUNNING RED LIGHTS AND DRIVING AGGRESSIVELY.

THE POLICE ARE NOW BEING ALLOWED TO POLICE, TO DO THEIR JOBS, AND I'M JUST REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

THIRD, I HAVE STILL AN ISSUE WITH PUBLIC WORKS, AND I REALIZE THAT IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE ONGOING WHEN YOU MANAGE A COMMUNITY.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF OUR HOA.

RECENTLY, A HOMEOWNER CONTACTED ME REGARDING WATER THAT IS BEING FLUSHED BY THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.

MY COMMUNITY, WATERSTONE, IS THE FURTHEST WEST COMMUNITY IN FRISCO.

IT'S ON 423 IN LEBANON.

IF YOU GO ANY FURTHER BACK, YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE COLONY.

I WANT TO SAY, ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF LEBANON, THAT COMMUNITY IS CONSIDERED THE VISTAS ON VENTANA ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK TOWARDS THE LAKE, LOUISVILLE.

[01:00:03]

THERE'S A FIRE HYDRANT, AND IT'S FLUSHING WATER.

I'M JUST NOW FINDING OUT ABOUT IT, REALIZING THAT IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.

WHEN THOSE HOMES WERE BUILT AND THOSE RETAINING WALLS WERE BUILT THERE IN THE STREETS, THAT WAS NOT THERE.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR FOUNDATIONS.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT THAT'S GOING TO RAISE AT SOME TIME.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT OUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY, WHICH I DID CONFIRM, HAD NOT BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT, AND MYSELF AS WELL.

I'M ALWAYS AROUND, AND EVERYONE KNOWS WHO I AM.

NO ONE MADE CONTACT WITH US AT ALL TO TELL US THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE EMPTYING, FLUSHING FIRE HYDRANTS OUT THERE.

MY REQUEST, BECAUSE WE USED TO HAVE THE FIELD MOWER, BECAUSE THERE'S WILDLIFE OUT THERE, SO WE'RE HAVING ISSUES OF MOUNTAIN LIONS COMING ON PEOPLE'S PORCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BECAUSE WE CAN'T MOW ANYMORE IN THAT AREA, BECAUSE THE TREES HAVE OVERGROWN SO MUCH, AND IT'S FULL OF WATER, AND IT'S DEEP, AND THERE'S SNAKES IN THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OURSELVES, AND I FEEL LIKE YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE LET US KNOW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

THAT WAS A PUBLIC WORKS ISSUE.

I THINK THE ONLY WAY THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE RESOLVED, WHICH I'VE SPOKEN TO OUR FIELD MOWER.

I'VE SPOKEN TO OUR LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR, AND I'VE SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE.

THE ONLY WAY THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE RESOLVED IS TO TRENCH IT SO THAT WATER WILL GO DOWN INTO THE LAKE.

THEN ONCE IT DRIES OUT, BECAUSE IT NEVER DRIES OUT.

WE'RE NEVER ABLE TO DO IT, AND THE HOMEOWNERS ARE JUST AT THE MERCY OF ALL OF THE MOSQUITOES AND THE BUGS RIGHT THERE IN THEIR BACKYARD, WEST NILE VIRUS.

THERE'S JUST A LOT OF ISSUES THAT I SEE IF WE DON'T START TO DEAL WITH THAT.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE, THEY ARE GOING TO START WORKING ON THE RETAINING WALL IN MY COMMUNITY THIS MONTH.

THAT'S WITH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AND I REALLY THANK JASON FOR KEEPING US INFORMED AND LETTING MY MANAGEMENT COMPANY KNOW AND MYSELF WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO DO THAT.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR YOU GUYS.

YOU MAY NOT TAKE IT, BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD.

I'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME SINCE 2006, AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED WITH CITY BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND THIS IS LIKE MY SECOND TIME AS PRESIDENT OF MY COMMUNITY.

I'M THE LANDSCAPE CHAIRPERSON.

I JUST TRY TO STAY BUSY.

WHEN Y'ALL HAD PAUL KNIPPEL HERE, AND HE WAS IN CHARGE OF BOTH DEPARTMENTS OF ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS, THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE MISSED, NOTHING TO BE DROPPED, BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO HANDLE EVERYTHING.

I THINK YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THAT, AND JASON, BRADOGAN, WAS WITH PAUL WHEN I FIRST MET HIM.

I THINK Y'ALL NEED TO CONSIDER THAT.

>> THANK YOU. NEXT, WE HAVE DOMINIC PARKS JR, AND THEN FOLLOWING AFTER HIM, WE HAVE SURYA NYER.

>> GOOD EVENING. SORRY IF IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND ME I HAD VISAGE LINE PUT IT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, SO I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A LISS.

MY NAME IS DOMINIC PARKS JUNIOR.

I'M A RESIDENT OF KINGS RIDGE AND RECENT GRADUATE OF THE FRISCO CHAMBER LEADERSHIP FRISCO CLASS 28 OFFICIAL BEST CLASS EVER.

I'M THANKFUL TO YOU AND THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY.

>> THANK YOU. CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESS.

>> NEXT, WE HAVE SURYA NYER, AND THEN NEXT, WE'LL HAVE KALYANI TELMETI.

>> NAMASTE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

>> HEY, SWEETIE, CAN YOU PULL THE MICE DOWN? THERE YOU GO.

>> NAMASTE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN YOU TODAY AS WE CELEBRATE THE BEAUTIFUL TRADITION KNOWN AS RAKSHA BANDHAN, OR AS WE CALL IT IN THE COMMUNITY, UNIVERSAL ONENESS DAY.

MY NAME IS SURYA NYER, AND I REPRESENT THE FRISCO CHAPTER OF HSS. I RESIDE IN MCKINNEY.

RAKSHA BANDHAN IS A HINDU FESTIVAL WHOSE NAME COMES FROM TWO SANSKRIT WORDS.

RAKSHA MEANING PROTECTION, AND BANDHAN, MEANING BOND OR OBLIGATION.

TRADITIONALLY, THIS DAY COMMEMORATES THE SACRED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

IN ANCIENT INDIA, ESPECIALLY DURING TIMES OF WAR AND INVASION, SISTERS WOULD TIE A SIMPLE THREAD KNOWN AS RAKHI, ON THEIR BROTHER'S WRIST.

THIS SYMBOLIC ACT REMINDED THE BROTHER OF HIS LIFELONG DUTY TO STAND BY AND PROTECT HER.

BUT OVER THE CENTURIES, RAKSHA BANDHAN HAS BEAUTIFULLY EVOLVED.

IT IS NO LONGER JUST ABOUT THE BOND BETWEEN SIBLINGS.

IT NOW SYMBOLIZES THE DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY WE ALL CARRY TO PROTECT AND SERVE ONE ANOTHER, EXPANDING FROM FAMILY TO THE BROTHER SOCIETY.

IN THAT SPIRIT, SINCE 2004, HINDU SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH OR HSS, HAS BEEN CELEBRATING THIS DAY AS UNIVERSAL ONENESS DAY.

THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE, WE SHARE THE MESSAGE THAT WE ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED AS NEIGHBORS, AS CITIZENS, AND AS MEMBERS OF ONE HUMAN FAMILY.

WE VISIT CIVIC LEADERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HONOR THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE AND TO STRENGTHEN THE BONDS OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND UNITY.

TRADITIONALLY, WE TIE RAKHI ON THE RIGHT WRIST.

BEFORE DOING SO, WE APPLY A SMALL DIKKAA OR A RED MARK ON THE FOREHEAD AS A SYMBOL OF BLESSING.

WE ALSO PERFORM A SHORT ARTI, A PRAYER OFFERING WITH LIGHT FOR YOUR WELL-BEING, SAFETY, AND PROSPERITY.

HERE WE WILL KEEP ALL THESE IN OUR PRAYERS IN TYING THE RAKHI.

[01:10:02]

THIS IS OUR WAY OF EXPRESSING GRATITUDE AND SEEKING DIVINE BLESSINGS FOR THOSE WHO PROTECT AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES.

>> THIS IS THE RAKHI AND THIS IS THE AARTI PLATE.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SHARE THIS TRADITION WITH YOU.

MAY THE SPIRIT OF RAKSHA BANDHAN INSPIRE US ALL TO BUILD A MORE COMPASSIONATE, INCLUSIVE, AND UNIFIED COMMUNITY. [FOREIGN] [APPLAUSE].

>> KALYANI, AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE'LL HAVE MR. LEE.

>> NICE JOB.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS.

CONGRATULATIONS, [INAUDIBLE].

NAMASTE. THIS IS KALYANI [INAUDIBLE], A RESIDENCE OF FRISCO FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS, I LIVE ON BEGONIA LANE.

I'M HERE TODAY TO INVITE THE MAYOR, ALONG WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND ALL PRESENT HERE TODAY EVENING TO KARYA SIDDHI HANUMAN TEMPLE FOR THE INAUGURATION OF LORD [INAUDIBLE] IN THE EXISTING PREMISES OF THE TEMPLE ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 9TH, 2025 MORNING AT KARYA SIDDHI HANUMAN TEMPLE.

THIS AUSPICIOUS AND HOLY SHRINE WILL BE INAUGURATED BY SRI GANAPATHY SACHCHIDANANDA SWAMIJI IN THE PRESENCE OF THOUSANDS OF DEVOTES.

I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK FRISCO POLICE CHIEF AND HIS TEAM FOR THEIR TREMENDOUS SUPPORT TO THE TEMPLE. THANK YOU.

>> NOW, WE'LL HAVE MR. LEE.

THEN, FOLLOWING THAT, WE'LL HAVE MARK PALASCIANO.

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

EVERYBODY. WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH? MAY I ASK YOU, WHICH DAY IS THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH?

>> IT'S ON SATURDAY.

>> WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH? BECAUSE YOU AND I, WE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

GOD'S CREATION.

WE ARE CREATURE.

THAT'S WHY GOD COMMAND US TO THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY.

BY HIS GRACE, WE ARE SAVED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, SO WE CAN BE TWICE GOD'S PROPERTY, CREATION AND RECREATION.

WE HAVE TO KEEP THE SABBATH ACCORDING TO GOD'S COMMAND.

ISAIAH 33:22, I'M READING.

"FOR THE LORD IS OUR JUDGE.

THE LORD IS OUR LOW GIVER.

THE LORD IS OUR KING.

HE WILL SAVE US." OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OUR JUDGE, THE LORD IS OUR LAW GIVER, THE LORD IS OUR KING, HE WILL SAVE US.

HE IS OUR SAVIOR.

THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH IS THE MEMORIAL DAY OF THE CREATION.

[01:15:09]

I'M READING THE BIBLE.

GENESIS IS CHAPTER 2:1-3, "THUS THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM.

VERSE 2, AND 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.

VERSE 3, AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT BECAUSE IN IT, HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." IN THE 10 COMMANDMENT, LAW GIVER IS JESUS.

TEN COMMANDMENT EXODUS 20:08, I READ IT AGAIN, EXODUS 20:8-11, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY AND KEEP IT HOLY.

SIXTH DAY, SHALT THOU LABOR AND DO ALL THY WORK, BUT SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD.

IN IT, THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK.

THOU AND THY SON, THY DAUGHTER, THY MAIDSERVANT."

>> THANK YOU, MR. LEE.

>> "AND MALESERVANT, MAIDSERVANT, NOR CATTLE OR ANY OTHER STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES."

>> THANK YOU, MR. LEE. MR. LEE. THANK YOU.

>> YEAH. ONE VERSE, PLEASE.

>> NO, MR. LEE, NEXT TIME. NEXT TIME. THANK YOU.

>> FINALLY, MARK PALASCIANO.

>> HEY, FRISCO, YOUR FAVORITE T-MOBILE WHISTLEBLOWER IS BACK.

BEFORE I BEGIN, LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR, I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH INDIAN PEOPLE OR ANY OTHER RACE, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS IN AMERICA NOT SERVING THEIR OATH TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

THE CONSTITUTION IS JUST A WORTHLESS PIECE OF PAPER IF THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE AN OATH TO IT DON'T PROTECT IT.

FRISCO IS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION ONLINE RIGHT NOW FOR H-1B VISAS BECAUSE FRISCO LOOKS MORE LIKE INDIA THAN TEXAS.

A LOT OF AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF THEIR GOVERNMENT HELPING FOREIGNERS MORE THAN AMERICANS.

EVERY ONE OF THESE FORTUNE 100 COMPANIES HIRING FOREIGNERS ON H-1B VISAS ARE LAYING OFF AMERICANS WHILE THE C-LEVEL EXECUTIVES ARE MAKING MILLIONS AND DUMPING STOCKS.

AMERICANS GRADUATING COLLEGE CAN'T FIND JOBS, THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A HOME, AND THE RATE OF MARRIED 30-YEAR-OLDS OWNING A HOME HAS HIT AN ALL-TIME LOW, FROM 50% IN 1950 TO 22% IN 2010, TO LESS THAN 10% IN 2025.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT A COLLAPSING COUNTRY LOOKS LIKE, AND IT'S BECAUSE OF A CORRUPTED SYSTEM AND GOVERNMENT THAT'S SOLD OUT TO CORPORATIONS OWNED BY FOREIGN INTERESTS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME STATS.

INDIAN POPULATION IN FRISCO ALONE HAS SURGED 4,510% OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS FROM 2.5% TO ONE-THIRD OF THE CITY.

NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT A FEW OF THE BIG COMPANIES IN FRISCO WITH H-1B.

IBM, THEY HAVE 3,254 H-1B EMPLOYEES.

THEY LAID OFF AN ESTIMATE OF 25,000 AMERICANS SINCE 2024, AND THE CEO HAS SHARED PLANS OF REPLACING 07,800 ROLES WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BY 2030.

ORACLE HAS 834 H-1B EMPLOYEES.

THEY'VE LAID OFF AN ESTIMATE OF 20,000 AMERICANS, AND ORACLE'S CEO JUST SOLD OVER $1.8 BILLION IN STOCK IN JUNE ALONE.

YOU KNOW MY FAVORITE COMPANY, T-MOBILE HAS 472 H-1B EMPLOYEES.

[01:20:02]

THEY'VE LAID OFF AT MINIMUM 25,000 AMERICANS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.

T-MOBILE INSIDERS DUMPED $5.4 BILLION IN STOCK IN 2024 ALONE.

MY FAVORITE CEO, T-MOBILE CEO MIKE SIEVERT, HAS SOLD OVER $144 MILLION IN STOCK JUST OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.

LET ME REMIND EVERYONE OF THE MAYOR'S DONATIONS.

IN 2021, 10% OF DONATIONS ABOVE $1,000 WERE FROM PEOPLE WITH INDIAN LAST NAMES.

IN 2023, 55% OF DONATIONS ABOVE $1,000 WERE FROM PEOPLE WITH INDIAN LAST NAMES.

TEXAS AND AMERICA IS ABSOLUTELY COOKED WELL DONE, AND MY STORY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS PROVES IT.

TEXAS IS PROVING IT'S BEEN CALIFORNIA-ED WITH OUR NEW POLITICAL THEATER OF DEMOCRATS FLEEING THE STATE AND GREG ABBOTT AND KEN PAXTON ISSUING WARRANTS.

TEXAS HAS JUST TURNED INTO AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.

TRUMP IS WITHHOLDING FEMA FUNDS FROM STATES AND CITIES IF THEY DON'T SUPPORT ISRAEL, HIS GOLF SCORES ARE SOUNDING LIKE NORTH KOREA PROPAGANDA, AND HE'S CREATING A DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM FOR OUR HEALTH INFORMATION WITH BIG TECH AND AI COMPANIES THAT HATE HUMANITY.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE DIGGING INTO A QUID PRO QUO BETWEEN T-MOBILE AND TRUMP OVER TRUMP MOBILE.

LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT FRISCO CITY COUNCIL WORKING WITH THE PGA TO VIOLATE MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT BY COLLUDING WITH THEM TO TRESPASS ME.

I'M THE ONLY PERSON HERE THAT THEY PURPOSELY TURN THE CAMERA TO MY BACK AND REFUSE TO SHOW MY FACE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT VOTE IN THIS RIGGED SYSTEM, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO TAKE AN OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION.

MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT AND MY SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT ARE BEING STOMPED ON BY A CORRUPTED GOVERNMENT.

YOU ALL SHOULD BE CARING AND SUPPORTING ME.

I KNOW I SOUND CRAZY, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO TELL THE TRUTH IN A WORLD FULL LIES.

MY NAME IS MARK PALASCIANO, M-A-R-K P-A-L-A-S-C-I-A-N-O.

FIND ME ON YOUTUBE, SUBSTACK, INSTAGRAM, OR X.

THE REASON WHY I HAVE TO SPELL THAT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TYPE IN MY FULL NAME, EXACTLY HOW I SPELL IT TO FIND ME BECAUSE OF MY SEVERE SHADOW-BANNING AND CENSORSHIP.

YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

>> THAT'S IT.

>> TAKE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

THE ITEMS PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED A ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

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

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

COUNCIL WE HAVE ONE ITEM, WE NEED TO PULL FROM THE AGENDA, ITEM 14. [INAUDIBLE] MOTION.

>> MAYOR, I MOVE TO PULL ITEM 14.

>> MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR.

I'LL LOOK FOR ACTION ON THE REMAINING ITEMS.

>> THAT PASSES 6-0.

>> I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEMS 12 AND 13 AND ITEMS 15-30.

ITEM 14: CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE

[Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute a Development Agreement by and between the City of Frisco and PGA 76, LP., on 80.1± acres on the southwest corner of Mahard Parkway and University Drive (US 380). (Development Services/JH)]

A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND PGA 76, LP., ON 80.1 ACRES ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MAHARD PARKWAY AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

COUNCIL HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, WHICH THEY NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE APPLICANT, AND SO LOOK TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

>> I MOVE TO TABLE ITEM 14 UNTIL THE.

>> I'M GOING TO SUGGEST IT'LL BE IN SEPTEMBER.

THE REASON BEING IS THE DISCUSSION WITH THE HOUSE BILLS AND GETTING READY FOR THE ORDINANCE ON THE 19TH, WE'RE GOING TO BE SWAMPED WITH THAT.

SO I'D PREFER TO GO TO EITHER THE FIRST OR SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.

>> SEPTEMBER 2ND IS THE FIRST MEETING RIGHT AFTER LABOR DAY WEEKEND, AND THEN NEXT MEETING IS SEPTEMBER 16TH.

>> THE 2ND OR THE 16TH WILL BE FINE.

>> 16TH.

I MOVE TO TABLE AGENDA ITEM 14 UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER 16TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

>> BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

SAY IT'S READY TO BE VOTED ON PRIOR TO THAT, COULD IT BE PLACED ON AN EARLIER AGENDA?

>> ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPECIFY DATE.

IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM, SO THAT CAN BE ADDED.

HOWEVER, THE ZONING CASE, YOU WOULD NEED A TABLE TO A PARTICULAR DATE.

>> OKAY.

>> WE CAN SIMPLY TABLE UNTIL A FUTURE COUNSEL?

>> WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS SAY NO ACTION AND DEFER TO A FUTURE DATE TO RUN CONCURRENT WITH THE ZONING CASE.

>> LET ME DO THAT.

>> SO IT'S STILL A TABLE ITEM? IS IT STILL TABLING?

>> NO, YOU JUST DON'T TAKE ANY ACTION.

>> NO ACTION. TILL NEXT ACTION.

[01:25:05]

[LAUGHTER] WE ARE TAKING NO ACTION ON THIS [OVERLAPPING].

>> CLEAR FOR EVERYBODY.

COULD COME UP AGAIN IN FUTURE COUNCIL MEETING.

WE'LL WAIT FOR PLANNING AND ZONING THEN TO DIRECT US AND STAFF FURTHER IN THE FUTURE.

>> PLANNING.

>> I THINK WE GOT IT.

>> YEAH, WE GOT IT.

>> WE GOT IT. I WOULD JUST STOP RIGHT THERE.

>> OKAY. [LAUGHTER]

>> THOSE MOTIONS WERE WITHDRAWN, AND WE'RE TAKING NO ACTION.

OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, THESE ITEMS MAY LEGALLY REQUIRE COUNCIL ACTION,

[Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance 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. Zoned Highway. Neighborhood #27. Specific Use Permit Case No. SUP25-0003. Applicant: Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, LLC. (Development Services/JH)]

BUT BY COUNCIL POLICIES SHOULD BE THE CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

THE CONCURRENCE OF TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON ANY SINGLE ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT, MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS FOR THE OFFICIAL RECORD.

WE HAVE ONE ITEM, ITEM 31. [INAUDIBLE] MOTION.

>> I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 31.

>> MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> THE MOTION PASSES 6-0.

OUR REGULAR AGENDA, ITEM 32 IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

[Public Hearing: A request to consider possible amendments to Zoning Ordinance Subsection 9.06, Downtown Architectural Design Standards; OTC & OTR, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoning Case No. ZA25-0002. Applicant: City of Frisco. (Development Services/JH)]

A REQUEST TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE SUBSECTION 9.06, DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS, OTC AND OTR, AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

ZONING CASE NUMBER ZA25-0002.

APPLICANT CITY OF FRISCO.

>> YES, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, JOHN LETTELLEIR, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THE FIRST TIME WE ADOPTED THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS FOR THE DOWNTOWN WAS BACK IN 2002.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF THE 1998 DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.

WHEN WE CREATED THAT DOCUMENT, IT'S ABOUT 78 PAGES.

>> WE INCLUDED OTHER ITEMS IN THAT THAT'S NOW FOUND IN OTHER ORDINANCES.

TALKING ABOUT STREET TREES, STREETSCAPE, BENCHES AND SO FORTH.

OVER THE YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN INSERTED IN DIFFERENT ORDINANCES.

WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS JUST FOCUSING ON THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

NOW, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF WORK SESSIONS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE'VE DONE THE SAME THING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE FRISCO OLD TOWN GROUP, THE REAL DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD.

THEN WE MAILED OUT POSTCARDS TO PROPERTY OWNERS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE UPDATING THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

BASICALLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE'RE STRIPPING IT DOWN TO THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, AND REALLY, EVERYTHING REMAINS THE SAME, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE.

THIS IS TRIPARTITE ARCHITECTURE, WHAT YOU SEE UP THERE.

BASICALLY, YOU GOT A BASE, YOU GOT A MIDDLE, AND YOU GOT A TOP.

YOU CAN DO THAT IN 1, 2, 4 STORY, UP TO 20 STORY BUILDINGS.

BUT THAT'S TRIPARTITE ARCHITECTURE THAT YOU WILL FIND IN MOST DOWNTOWNS.

IT'S NOT A NEW CONCEPT.

IT'S BEEN WITH CIVILIZATION GOING BACK A COUPLE OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

THAT'S WHAT OUR DOWNTOWN WAS BUILT ON AS HAVING THAT TRIPARTITE ARCHITECTURE.

WE'RE CONTINUING THAT FORWARD.

BUT HERE'S THE DISTRICTS.

THIS COMES OUT OF THE 2018 PLAN.

YOU HAVE THE CENTRAL DISTRICT WHICH IS THE TAN AREA.

WE HAVE THE NORTH DISTRICT, THAT'S RESIDENTIAL, THAT'S IN GREEN.

WE HAVE THE EAST DISTRICT, THAT IS IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, LIGHT BLUE.

THEN WE HAVE THE BROWN AREA.

WHERE YOU SEE CROSS HATCHED, THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT ZONE EITHER OTC OR OTR.

THESE STANDARDS WOULD NOT APPLY UNTIL THOSE PROPERTIES COME IN FOR DEVELOPMENT.

IT ONLY APPLIES TO A PROPERTY ZONE ORIGINAL TOWN COMMERCIAL AND ALL ORIGINAL TOWN RESIDENTIAL.

WE STARTED THIS PROJECT ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING IN 2022.

WE WERE WALKING THE DOWNTOWN, WALKED ALL THE STREETS.

FINALLY SETTLED. IN THIS BROWN AREA, IT MAKES SENSE.

DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAT WAS NOT ANTICIPATED WITH OUR CURRENT ONE.

THAT IS GO WITH A MORE OF A METAL LOOK.

YOU STILL HAVE THE TRIPARTITE ARCHITECTURE, BUT GIVES YOU SOME TYPE OF IDEA.

THEY HAVE LISTS OVER IN LIKE FORT WORTH WHERE THEY TOOK THE QUONSET HUT.

THOSE ARE THE ALUMINUM HUTS THAT WERE CREATED BY THE NAVY DURING WORLD WAR II.

THEY EXPANDED ON THAT.

WE THOUGHT, WITH EVERYTHING LOOKING OLD, MAYBE WE HAVE AN AREA THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THE DOWNTOWN TO CATER TO MORE PEOPLE.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ACCEPTED WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT WE HAVE MET WITH.

INSTEAD OF DOING A BRICK IN THIS AREA, IT WILL BE MORE OF A METAL LOOK.

BUT YOU CAN ALSO DO A BAD DESIGN.

THAT'S WHY WE GO WITH A TRIPARTITE ARCHITECTURE AND THEY HAVE A BUILDING WHERE THEY JUST

[01:30:02]

START TOSSING UP MATERIALS AND THEN IT GETS MESSY FROM AN ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVE.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT, POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT'S BEEN HERE.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPROVED.

WE DO HAVE PAINT COLORS IN HERE.

PINK IS ALLOWED.

FOR BURT AND JARED, THERE'S A DISCUSSION ON THAT.

BUT PEOPLE CAN SELECT PAINT COLORS, SHARON WILLIAMS. JONATHAN HUBBARD HAS DONE RESEARCH ON THIS.

YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE AND THEN FIND OTHER BRANDS THAT'S SIMILAR IN COLORS THAT COULD BE USED.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO REGULATE COLORS, BUT WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT MAKING POLITICAL STATEMENTS.

I'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN IN OTHER HISTORICAL DISTRICTS, AND SO TRYING TO KEEP TRUE TO THE ROOTS IN WHICH FRISCO HAS DEVELOPED.

AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. COUNCIL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

>> MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.

>> MOTION BY JOHN.

>> SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> THAT'S 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?

>> SEEING NONE, MOVE TO CLOSE.

>> MOTION BY JOHN, CLOSE.

>> SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> THAT'S 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE?

>> I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND IT ALMOST PARALLEL WITH THE IDEA OF REDOING MAIN STREET, AND THEN HOW THAT WOULD PERHAPS INFLUENCE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION AND THINGS IN THESE DIFFERENT AREAS.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE THIS COME FORWARD.

THE PINK PAINT IS A GOOD STORY, I THINK FOR THE FUTURE FOR OUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS AND JUST WHAT DRIVES SOME OF THIS DESIGN IDEA AND HOW WE CAN DO THIS IN THE ORIGINAL TOWN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS.

I THINK IT'S ALSO HELPFUL WITH 150 ANNIVERSARY COMING UP THAT WE CAN REMEMBER THE HERITAGE OF THIS AREA AND HOW THIS HAS SOME SPECIAL ZONING TO IT.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I THINK THIS IS TIMELY AND WELL DONE.

>> THANK YOU, JOHN. THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

>> I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 32.

>> MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> PASSES 6-0, ITEM 33 IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

[Public Hearing: A request to repeal Ordinance No. 18-10-56 consisting of 80.1± acres on the southwest corner of Mahard Parkway and University Drive (US 380) (“Property”), to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), to rezone the Property as Planned Development-271-Office-2/Retail/Residential, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Planned Development-271-Office-2/Retail/Residential. Neighborhood #53. Zoning Case No. Z24-0002. Applicant: LMIF Real Estate, LLC. (Development Services/JH)]

REQUEST TO APPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 18-10-56 CONSISTING OF 8.1 ACRES ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MAHARD PARKWAY AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE, TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09 AS AMENDED.

TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AS PLAN DEVELOPMENT 271, OFFICE 2 RETAIL RESIDENTIAL AND TO CONSIDER DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME.

ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT TWO SEPARATE ONE.

OFFICE 2 RETAIL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 53, ZONING CASE NUMBER Z24-0002, APPLICANT LMIF REAL ESTATE.

NO STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED TABLING THIS ITEM, BUT WE WANT TO GO AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONTINUE.

LOOK FOR A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> SO MOVED.

>> MOTION BY JOHN.

>> SECOND BY LAURA. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE.

>> IS 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK?

>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, JAKE PATRIS 2774 BANDOLIER LANE, FRISCO, TEXAS. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I HAD A REALLY LOVELY PRESENTATION FOR YOU GUYS THAT I WORKED SO HARD ON ALL AFTERNOON.

HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT THAT MAY BE IRRELEVANT, AT LEAST FOR THIS MEETING.

I AM CONFUSED THOUGH, FROM THE TABLE MAYBE ONCE YOU CLOSE, IF YOU COULD SHED ANY LIGHT ON THAT.

I KNOW SB 840 WAS ON THE EXECUTIVE AGENDA AND DISCUSSION.

I COULD SEE MAYBE SOME CORRELATIONS.

AGAIN, OUR INTENT IS TO NOT HAVE ANY COMPLIANCE WHATSOEVER WITH SB 840, WHATSOEVER.

BUT OUR INTENT IS TO CRAFT A ZONING THAT IS APPLICABLE AND LAWFUL.

I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED ON THAT MATTER.

IN REGARD TO WHEN WE TABLE IT, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY LONG AND VERY TIRESOME PROJECT, ALMOST TO THE TUNE OF TWO YEARS.

I KNOW JOHN WILL NOT LIKE ME, BUT IF WE COULD TABLE TO THE NEXT MEETING, THAT WOULD BE PREFERABLE FROM OUR CAMP, CONSIDERING WE WERE HOPING TO CELEBRATE TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?

>> I THINK WE HAVE ONE MORE PERSON.

[01:35:01]

NO. SEEING NONE, MOVE TO CLOSE.

>> WOULD WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?

>> NO. YOU WOULD KEEP THAT OPEN MAYOR AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL THE DATE YOU SPECIFY.

>> I WITHDRAW THE MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> IF THE APPLICANT THINKS THEY CAN RESOLVE COUNCIL'S QUESTIONS BY NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, THEN PERSONALLY I WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT.

>> IS THIS PERHAPS A NO ACTION OR A TABLE?

>> TABLE.

>> NO. IT WOULD BE A TABLE AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT MY STAFF IS GOING TO BE SPENDING TIME OR ADDRESSING THOSE ITEMS FOR THE AUGUST 19TH MEETING.

THAT WILL BE TAKEN PRECEDENT.

BY THE TIME WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS, THERE MAY BE DISCUSSIONS THAT INVOLVE THE ATTORNEYS AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE STARTING OUR NEW PROCESS OF PUTTING THE PACKET TOGETHER EARLIER BECAUSE STATE LAW CHANGES ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, WHERE WE HAVE TO POST THE AGENDA EARLIER.

THIS IS GOING TO PUT US IN A BIND ON FUTURE CASES WHERE TABLING FOR TWO WEEKS IS NOT REALLY GOING TO BE AN OPTION.

I'M DOUBTFUL IF WE'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING RESOLVED IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND STILL DO THE WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO BY THE 19TH.

>> MAYBE THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.

>> THEN I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE UNTIL THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.

>> CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING?

>> CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> MOTION BY JOHN. SECOND BY,

WAS THAT BURT? ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSE? MOTION PASSES 6-0. I MOVE TO 34.

>> AGAIN, THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT.

IT'S JUST DIRECTING THE PUBLIC NOTICE AND THE 45 DAY WAIT PERIOD BEFORE WE COULD COME BACK AND BRING A PARAMETERS ORDINANCE TO COUNCIL TO ACTUALLY DEFINE THE TERMS OF THE DEBT AND DIRECT COUNCIL TO ISSUE THE DEBT.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MR. ANDERSON HAS RESIGNED FROM PLACE 3 ON THE BOARD AND PER CITY CHARTER, WE HAVE TO PLACE THIS ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FOR ACCEPTANCE.

>> I'LL JUST SAY THAT MR. ANDERSON TOOK A JOB IN HIS PASSION, WHICH IS TEACHING, WHICH IS PROHIBITING HIM FROM CONTINUING TO SERVE ON THE BOARD, BUT WE APPRECIATE THOR'S SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY OF FRISCO.
