WAS THERE ANY OTHER NOTES OR PROCLAMATIONS SINCE OUR LAST MEETING YOU WANT TO RECOGNIZE? [Visit Frisco December sales and marketing report and World Cup update.] OKAY. THAT TAKES US TO OUR REPORTS SECTION. ITEM 6 IS OUR VISIT FRISCO REPORT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN UP HERE WITH THE NEW SPACE. IT'S AWESOME. WE CONTINUE TO BUCK THE TRENDS, AND NOVEMBER WAS A REALLY GREAT MONTH. AND PRELIMINARY NUMBERS FOR DECEMBER ARE LOOKING EQUALLY AS STRONG. WE'VE GOT OUR MARKETING TEAM OUT IN FLORIDA RIGHT NOW AT THE PGA SHOW, WORKING WITH MEDIA AND HOSTING A MEDIA BREAKFAST DURING THAT EVENT. I DID INCLUDE OUR DECEMBER NOTES FROM THE WORLD CUP INTERNAL MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE'VE GOT ANOTHER WORLD CUP DEPARTMENTAL MEETING THIS THURSDAY. OTHER THAN THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE IN MY REPORT. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE? I DO WANT TO SAY I DID WANT TO MENTION, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL JUST DID OUR ANNUAL WORK SESSION. WE SPENT A DAY KIND OF DEVELOPING OUR PROGRESS IN MOTION LIST AND THINGS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. AND THROUGH THAT DISCUSSION, IT WAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT JUST HOW BUSY OF A YEAR THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR THE VISIT FRISCO TEAM. SO FROM PLANNING FOR THE WORLD CUP AND EXECUTING THE WORLD CUP, TO ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2027 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP TO OPENING A BRAND NEW MAJOR ATTRACTION IN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS KIDS TO, YOU KNOW, STARTING TO PROGRAM THE RAIL DISTRICT PLAZA. AND IT'S GOING TO BE A MONUMENTAL YEAR. SO HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT REST UP DURING THE HOLIDAYS. AND. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ITEM 7 IS OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT. [Development Services activity monthly update report for the months of November 2025 and December 2025.] JOHN LETELLEIR, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. YOU HAVE TWO REPORTS. YOU HAVE OUR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. REASON YOU HAVE TWO REPORTS IS, SINCE YOU CANCELED THE SECOND MEETING IN DECEMBER, WE'RE BRINGING BOTH OF THESE TO YOU IN JANUARY. TWO THINGS TO POINT OUT. LAST MONTH, CHRIS, LEONARD AND MYSELF, WE LED A TOUR OF GRAPEVINE. JUST SHOWING THAT TO THE DOWNTOWN OR I SHOULD SAY RURAL DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD OF WHAT GRAPEVINE DOES AT CHRISTMAS TIME. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, IS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN DECORATING UP FOR CHRISTMAS. GRAPEVINE HAD A PROBLEM IN TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE. AND SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO GET OTHER PEOPLE TO ENCOURAGE THE BUSINESSES TO DECORATE UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS. I'M IN CONTACT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT DECORATING UP FOR BOTH HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS THIS COMING YEAR. AND SO PRIMARILY LOOKING BETWEEN THIRD AND FIFTH STREET ALONG MAIN. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING. SO DETAILS TO BE WORKED OUT. THE SECOND THING TO POINT OUT IS REGARDING WEST NILE VIRUS. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT IN THE SEASON YET, WHICH GOES FROM MAY 1ST UNTIL NOVEMBER 15TH, THIS IS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS OF THE NUMBER OF POSITIVE CASES THAT WE HAVE HAD, BUT REALLY IS TRANSMITTING THE VIRUS ARE BIRDS AND NOT. THE MOSQUITOES GET IT FROM THE BIRDS WHICH TRANSMIT THOSE TO THE HUMANS. AND SO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF TESTS THAT WE HAVE, WE CONTRACT OUT, WHERE THE TEAM WILL GO OUT AND INSPECT AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO TURN THAT AROUND IN A DAY'S TIME. WHEREAS BEFORE WE USED TO SHIP THEM DOWN TO AUSTIN, BY THE TIME WE GET THE RESULTS BACK, THAT BREED OF MOSQUITOES PROBABLY HAVE LONG SINCE PASSED. BUT JANE WANG WITHIN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES. SHE LEADS THE EFFORTS, MONITORS THIS AND SENDS OUT UPDATES. BUT THIS HAS SHOWN THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. STARWOOD HAD THREE POSITIVES. THEN YOU GET UP IN DOMINION OF PANTHER CREEK AND SO FORTH. THEY HAD THREE POSITIVE CASES, BUT THESE ARE SPREAD ABOUT. AND SO IF WE GET A NUMBER OF THAT, JANE WILL COORDINATE WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOR SPRAYING. AND THEN WHAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CODE STAFF WILL DO UNDER AMY MOORE, STARTING IN MARCH, WE SEND OUT LETTERS TO ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE LIKE RETENTION PONDS AND SO FORTH TO GET THEM TREATING [00:25:03] THOSE SOURCES OF WATER BEFORE THE BREEDING STARTS. AND SO BUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN DO IS MAKE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE STANDING WATER AROUND THEIR HOMES, THIS GOES A LONG WAY IN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. SO THAT'S IT. I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU SEE IN THE REPORT. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. OKAY. ITEM 8 IS OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT. [Fire Department monthly reports on incident responses and educational activities for the months of November and December 2025.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. LEE GLOVER, FIRE CHIEF. IN DECEMBER, CREW 7 FROM OUR STATION 7 A SHIFT, THEY WERE RECOGNIZED BY TEXAS HEALTH'S FRISCO FOR A LIFE SAVING MEASURE. SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR, OUR CREWS RESPONDED TO A PREGNANT PATIENT SHOWING SEVERE SIGNS OF SHOCK. THE PATIENT RECEIVED BLOOD DURING TREATMENT AND WAS TAKEN TO TEXAS HEALTH FRISCO, WHERE SHE DELIVERED A HEALTHY BABY BOY. AND SHORTLY AFTER, THEY BOTH WENT HOME. IN 2025, WE ADMINISTERED BLOOD TO 16 PATIENTS IN THE FIELD. THIS IS ONE OF MANY SUCCESS STORIES THAT WE HAVE CELEBRATED SINCE WE IMPLEMENTED OUR BLOOD PROGRAM. SINCE IN FIRE ACADEMY CLASS 49, WE ARE NOW TAKING APPLICATIONS UNTIL FEBRUARY 9TH. CLASSES WILL BEGIN ON MARCH 5TH AND RUN THROUGH APRIL 30TH. CLASSES WILL BE EVERY THURSDAY EVENING FROM 6:30 TO 8:30 AND ONE SATURDAY MORNING. THIS GIVES A CHANCE FOR OUR CITIZENS TO COME TO CLASS AND GET TO RIDE OUT WITH US AND WATCH US GO ON EMERGENCIES AND DIFFERENT INCIDENTS THAT WE DO, AND ALSO REALLY FIND OUT THE INSIDE WORKINGS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WE ENCOURAGE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GO TO COME TO OUR WEBSITE AT FRISCOFIRE.COM TO THE COMMUNITY EDUCATION SECTION, AND YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR THE CITIZEN´S FIRE ACADEMY CLASS. IN JANUARY, WE DID A BURN AT FRISCO COMMONS. IT WAS A PRESCRIBED BURN. WE DID THIS WITH OUR WILDLAND TEAM IN PARTICIPATION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FRISCO. THE BURN WAS PREDICTED AT FRISCO COMMONS PARK ON JANUARY 13TH. THESE BURNS ALLOW US TO IMPROVE THE ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND REDUCE WILDLAND FIRE RISK ON OUR PARK SPACE IN FRISCO, AS WELL AS PROVIDES GREAT TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR WILDLAND PERSONNEL. WE'RE PLANNING TO DO A SIMILAR PRESCRIBED BURN AT GRANT PARK IN FEBRUARY DEPENDING ON WEATHER CONDITIONS. WE WILL SHARE THAT INFORMATION AS WE GET CLOSER AND IT'S DETERMINED. ALSO, THE MAYOR KIND OF TOUCHED ON IT. WE WE ARE UNDER A WINTER WEATHER WARNING RIGHT NOW. IT'S SCHEDULED FROM FRIDAY TILL SUNDAY, BUT I WAS PRIOR TO COMING. I BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO EXTEND THAT INTO MONDAY. THEY'RE EVEN SAYING POSSIBLY TUESDAY. WHAT I WOULD TELL OUR CITIZENS AND VISITORS, BE WEATHER AWARE. THE FORECAST IS CHANGING RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. I MEAN, IT'S ANYWHERE FROM REALLY, REALLY BAD TO WE'LL SEE. BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY WEATHER EVENT. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE READY AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL BE READY TO GO. WITH THAT, YOU HAVE MY NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER REPORT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF? CHIEF, DO YOU WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT IF THEY DO HAVE WATER BREAKS, WHAT THEY DO? SO THAT THAT WAY IF IT. BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE ONE OF THE ONES THAT ARE ANSWERING THAT SO. AND IT'LL BE US, OUR PUBLIC WORKS THAT COMES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING THEM OUT WHEN WE HAVE THESE EVENTS. HEY, CHIEF, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. IF YOU COULD TELL THE PEOPLE OF FRISCO, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH PETS WHAT TO DO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS THE STORM ROLLS IN? WELL, NUMBER ONE, MAKE SURE YOUR PIPES ARE PROTECTED OUTSIDE. THAT YOUR WATER FAUCETS GOT COVERS. IF YOU HAVE PETS, BRING THEM INSIDE. THANK YOU. MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR PETS INSIDE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHIEF. ITEM 9 IS OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT. [Police Department's crime and statistics reports for the month of November 2025.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. DAVID SHILSON, CHIEF OF POLICE. I'LL START BY HIGHLIGHTING. YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOME UPDATES ON OUR RIDE SHARE GRANT THAT WE HAVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TXDOT. SO FAR WE'VE PROVIDED 200 SAFE RIDES HOME FROM SOME OF OUR ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS. THIS IS A FREE UBER VOUCHER, IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO NOT DRIVE HOME INTOXICATED. DWIS WAS UP LAST YEAR. WE CERTAINLY WANT TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO PREVENT DRUNK DRIVERS. [00:30:01] AND SO THIS IS JUST ONE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING THAT. THERE'S PLENTY MORE OF THOSE VOUCHERS AVAILABLE. AND SO I JUST ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO UTILIZE THE FREE UBER VOUCHER. SEEMED LIKE JUST YESTERDAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR FIRST BASIC PEACE OFFICER ACADEMY GRADUATION, AND NOW WE'RE ALREADY TO OUR SECOND. AND SO CERTAINLY WE WANT TO CELEBRATE OUR UPCOMING GRADUATES THEIR GRADUATION CEREMONY WILL BE ON THE SIXTH AT 2 P.M. CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND CELEBRATE THEM. YOU KNOW, HAVING OUR OWN PEACE OFFICER ACADEMY CERTAINLY STREAMLINES OUR ONBOARDING PROCESS, HELPS US GET OFFICERS ON THE STREET QUICKER. AND IT'S A HUGE BONUS FOR THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO AND OUR DEPARTMENT. AND SO WE JUST WANT TO CELEBRATE THEM, AND WE WON'T CELEBRATE FOR VERY LONG BEFORE WE START CLASS NUMBER THREE, WHICH WILL BE STARTING IN MARCH. SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. YOU HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT AT THE WINTER WORK SESSION. SOME OF THE SUCCESS STORIES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH OUR FLOCK LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SYSTEM. AND THERE'S CERTAINLY A LOT OF PUBLICITY SURROUNDING LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION. BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO REALLY JUST HIGHLIGHT THE TOOL THAT IT IS FOR US. AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY SOME OF THE MAJOR SUCCESSES IS WE'VE MADE A LOT OF ARRESTS. THANKS TO THIS SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, FELONY ARRESTS, PEOPLE THAT ARE WANTED ON FELONY WARRANTS THANKS TO THIS SYSTEM. PEOPLE THAT WE CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT HERE LOOSE ON THE STREETS OF FRISCO. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF RECENT ONES. IN DECEMBER, FLOCK HELPED US CATCH A SERIAL BURGLAR SUSPECT. I MEAN, THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL VEHICLE BURGLARIES IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT APARTMENT COMPLEXES. AND FORTUNATELY, THANKS TO THE FLOCK SYSTEM, WE WERE ABLE TO GET HIM IN CUSTODY AND SOLVE SEVERAL BURGLARY CASES. AND THEN WE DID A RELEASE IN THE END OF DECEMBER ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS TRAVELING IN A STOLEN VEHICLE AND TURNED IT INTO A BARRICADED PERSON SITUATION. WE WERE ABLE TO PEACEFULLY RESOLVE THAT AND GET HIM IN CUSTODY, YOU KNOW, FOR STEALING A VEHICLE. AND SO THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF STORIES. THERE'S SEVERAL MORE CASES ATTACHED TO SUCCESS WITH THE FLOCK SYSTEM. SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS TOOL IN PLACE AND YOU KNOW, VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT, YOU KNOW, IT CAN CONTINUE TO DO TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE. AND LAST, I REALLY JUST WANTED TO KIND OF ADDRESS SOME OF THE INCIDENTS FROM LAST WEEK RELATED TO THE SCHOOL THREATS, BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS VERY CONCERNING TO PARENTS IN OUR CITY, PARENTS OF STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT. AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAFETY OF OUR SCHOOLS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US. I'D LIKE TO FIRST JUST SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE IN FRISCO TO HAVE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH FRISCO ISD. WE COMMUNICATE WITH THEM DAILY, AND THAT COMMUNICATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TRAGICALLY IN SOME OTHER CITIES WHERE COMMUNICATION WASN'T PRESENT. WE HAVE GREAT COMMUNICATION WITH OUR DISTRICT AND THAT OCCURS DAILY, NOT JUST WHEN SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO STRESS IS THAT WE TAKE THESE THREATS VERY SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES FOCUSED ON THESE RECENT CASES THAT WE SAW LAST WEEK. WE HAVE ENGAGED THE FBI. AND FOR THOSE THAT DIDN'T KNOW, WE HAVE A FRISCO DETECTIVE EMBEDDED WITH THE FBI. SO WE HAVE REGULAR COMMUNICATION WITH OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS DO OCCUR. AND SO I SAY THAT JUST TO HIGHLIGHT TO PEOPLE THAT WE ARE ENGAGED WITH A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES FOCUSED ON THE THREATS THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK. WE'VE DEMONSTRATED THAT WE WILL HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE THREATS. YOU SEE UP THERE IN 2025, WE MADE 17 ARRESTS FOR DIFFERENT CASES RELATED TO SCHOOL THREATS. AND SO I SAY THAT JUST TO DEMONSTRATE THAT WE TAKE THESE SERIOUSLY AND WE WILL MAKE ARRESTS WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE. YOU KNOW, PROTECTING OUR SCHOOLS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER LOSE FOCUS ON. IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, AMONG THE LARGEST MUNICIPAL SRO PROGRAM IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WE HAVE A LOT OF OFFICERS DESIGNATED TO PROTECTING OUR SCHOOLS. WE'VE INVESTED A LOT. AND I KNOW FISD HAS INVESTED A LOT IN TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS. WE'VE INVESTED A LOT IN TRAINING TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS. DONE JOINT TRAINING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, OTHER AGENCIES, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. [00:35:02] AND SO I SAY ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, DESPITE ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WE DON'T EVER STOP FOCUSING ON WAYS TO CONTINUE TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS AND GET BETTER. AND SO I'LL JUST SAY THAT THIS IS PERSONAL TO US, TOO, RIGHT? AS A PARENT OF A STUDENT IN FISD, A SPOUSE OF A TEACHER IN FISD. AND WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS VERY PERSONAL TO US, SO WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY, AND I JUST WANT TO CONVEY THE MESSAGE TO PARENTS TODAY THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY ON THIS SITUATION FROM LAST WEEK. WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO CATCH THOSE RESPONSIBLE AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. AND WE CERTAINLY HAVE A LOT OF TOOLS, TECHNOLOGY AND GOOD PEOPLE IN PLACE THAT ARE GOING TO SEE TO THAT. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO OFFER THAT REASSURANCE. AND I'VE INCLUDED SOME OF THE LAWS UP THERE THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WILL UTILIZE RELATED TO SCHOOL THREAT CASES. AND SO WITH THAT YOU HAVE OUR NOVEMBER REPORT. OUR DECEMBER REPORT, WE'RE STILL IN THE TRANSITION PHASE WITH TYLER MRS. WE SHOULD BE CAUGHT UP THE NEXT TIME I GIVE A REPORT. BUT YOU HAVE OUR NOVEMBER REPORT, SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, CHIEF. COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT. THANK YOU. ITEM 10 IS OUR FRISCO RAIL DISTRICT UPDATE. [Frisco Rail District update.] GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MATT DUBOIS. I'M ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING. I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A CONSTRUCTION UPDATE ON THE DOWNTOWN RAIL DISTRICT PROJECTS. OH, THERE WE GO. LET'S GO TO NEXT SLIDE. SO OUR FOCUS ON MAIN STREET, I'LL START WITH MAIN STREET IS REALLY TO GET ACCESS BACK TO BOTH THE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET IN AND AROUND THE RAIL DISTRICT. WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED THAT WITH THE TRAFFIC. AT THE END OF DECEMBER LAST YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO OPEN UP MAIN STREET BACK TO TWO WAY TRAFFIC AND ITS PERMANENT CONDITION. THIS MONTH WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON PROVIDING ACCESSIBILITY TO THE PEDESTRIANS THROUGH THE SIDEWALKS. WE ARE NEAR COMPLETION OF THAT WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE BRICK PAVERS, WE´LL ACCOMPLISH THE ACCESSIBILITY ON MAIN STREET FOR PEDESTRIANS. WE'RE NEARLY COMPLETE WITH THE BRICK INSTALLATION ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE. THE LAST BLOCKS ARE BETWEEN THIRD AND FIFTH STREET. WE ANTICIPATE THAT BEING COMPLETED THIS WEEK AND THEN NEXT WEEK DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER, WE WILL WRAP UP THE LAST BIT OF BRICK PAVERS ON THE NORTH SIDE, WHICH IS BETWEEN FOURTH AND FIFTH STREET. WE STILL HAVE A FEW THINGS TO DO THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WRAP UP THIS MONTH AS WELL, WHICH INCLUDES ACTIVATING THE PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON AT FOURTH AND MAIN, INSTALLING LANDSCAPING, HARDSCAPING AND SOME OF THE PEDESTRIAN FURNISHINGS. SOME OF THOSE, AFTER AN UPDATE I'VE RECEIVED TODAY, WILL NOT BE COMPLETED NEXT WEEK. BUT THEY WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE COMING MONTHS. WORK. SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WILL NOT BE COMPLETED AS PART OF THE PROJECT WAS TO REMOVE ALL THE OVERHEAD LINES ON MAIN STREET. WE HAVE CONSTRUCTED THE DUCT BANK, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE FRANCHISE UTILITIES. BUT AS OF TODAY, THE LINES ARE STILL ON THE POLES. WE NEED TO GET THOSE REMOVED FROM THE POLES AND THEN THE POLES REMOVED AND THEN THE SIDEWALKS WHERE THOSE POLES EXIST. WE WILL STILL NEED TO COME BACK AND RECONSTRUCT THOSE AREAS AROUND THE POLE. WE STILL NEED TO ADD SOME OF THOSE PEDESTRIAN FURNISHINGS, INCLUDING THE MEDIAN RAILS. THERE'S FIVE LOCATIONS ALONG THE MEDIAN WHERE WE STILL NEED TO INSTALL THE RAIL. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WHILE WE'RE WAITING ON THE RAILS AND THOSE ELEMENTS TO BE FINISHED BEING MANUFACTURED IS OUR CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PREP THOSE AREAS SO THAT WHEN THOSE ITEMS ARE READY, IT BECOMES LESS OF AN EFFORT FOR US TO JUST BRING THOSE IN AND INSTALL THEM. AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE MEETINGS, IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWN THERE, THE MEETINGS THAT ARE RAISED RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A WHOLE THESE ARE GOING TO BE FILLED TO THE LEVEL AND THE FOUNDATIONS POURED IN PREPARATION FOR THOSE ELEMENTS. SOME OF THE REASONS FOR THOSE DELAYS IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT GETS WE GET IT RIGHT. WE'VE GOT THE WIDER SIDEWALKS FOR ACCESSIBILITY, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT TO MAKE DOWNTOWN A DESTINATION, IT'S GOT TO LOOK GOOD. AND WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING BOTH WITH THE PLAZA TEAM AND THE MAIN STREET TEAM TO MAKE SURE IT'S A SEAMLESS PROJECT. IT LOOKS AS IF ONE PROJECT AND SOME OF THOSE ELEMENTS HAVE TAKEN A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO MAKE SURE WE GET THOSE RIGHT, SUCH AS THE MEDIAN RAIL, WE WANT THAT TO FEEL LIKE IT'S THE SAME THING AS YOU SEE WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE PLAZA. [00:40:02] SO WITH THAT, I WILL. THE PLAZA. I'VE BEEN SO FOCUSED ON MAIN STREET LATELY. THE PLAZA, WE ARE STILL ON SCHEDULE TO HAVE THAT FINISHED AROUND THE END OF MAY. AND THE GARAGE, I BELIEVE, IS STILL ON THAT END OF MAY, JUNE TIME FRAME. THE PLAZA TODAY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH TO THE AVERAGE PASSERBY. IT'S A LOT OF DIRT. WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING A LOT ON GETTING THE UNDERGROUND WORK COMPLETED THERE. WE'VE PRETTY MUCH HAD TO REDO THE WHOLE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM IN THAT AREA. WE ARE NEARING COMPLETION OF THAT. AND SO NEXT MONTH, WE'LL START VISIBLY SEEING A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING. WE'VE ALREADY GOT FOUNDATIONS COMING OUT OF THE GROUND. THE PUBLIC RESTROOM BUILDING, THEY'RE PUTTING THE ROOF ON IT, FINISHING THAT UP, THE STAGE IS ALREADY FRAMED UP. NEXT THING YOU'LL START SEEING IS THE PLAZA AREA. ONCE YOU SEE CONCRETE POURED, THAT'S GOING TO BE COVERED WITH BRICKS, AND THEN WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO WRAPPING THAT UP. SO WE ANTICIPATE SEEING THAT HAPPENING BY THE END OF FEBRUARY. SEEING THAT HAPPENING IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH LIVING ROOM. OKAY. SO WITH THAT, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER. IT'S LOOKING GOOD. YEAH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND THE PUBLIC'S PATIENCE AS WE GET THROUGH THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 11 IS COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS. [Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.] ANY SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES? THE FIRST FVET MEETING OF THE YEAR IS COMING UP. AT THE LIBRARY ON MONDAY, JANUARY 26TH AT 6:30 P.M. W INVITE ALL OF OUR VETERANS AND VETERANS SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO JOIN US. DO SOME VISION PLANNING, AS WE JUST DID RECENTLY AT OUR COUNCIL WORK SESSION. SO THAT RESONATED WITH SOME OF OUR VETERANS. WE THOUGHT WE'D TAKE A LOOK AT THE CALENDAR AND LOOK AT THE YEAR AND PROJECT AHEAD, SOME OF THE DIFFERENT EVENTS AND PROJECTS THAT GOT IN OUR NOTEBOOKS. ANYTHING ELSE? NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION, WE'RE HAVING OUR QUARTERLY MEETING IN MARCH, AND ALSO WE'RE PLANNING ANOTHER MEETING TO DC, SO I'LL PROBABLY BE ATTENDING THAT. I HAVE A COUPLE UPDATES. SO FROM THE DRMC, THE FOCUS NOW IS FUNDING FOR OUR COUNTY ROADS AND FARM TO MARKET ROADS. TXDOT REDUCED THE FUNDING. SO THIS HAS BECOME MORE OF A COUNTY ISSUE. SO WE ARE DEFINITELY ADVOCATING FOR THAT BUCKET OF FUNDING FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE KIND OF ROADS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, FROM THE RTC SIDE, VERY PROUD TO BE PART OF THE TEAM THAT ENDED UP APPROVING OVER $150,000 FOR CHARGING STATIONS HERE IN FRISCO, AS WELL AS OPENING THE DOOR FOR THE FUNDING OF MORE CHARGING STATIONS COMING FROM UTILIZING FEDERAL FUNDS. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO BASICALLY APPROVE THE PLAN FOR THE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION FOR SUBMITTING FOR PROJECTS THROUGH 2030. AND AS PART OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THE RTC TRANSIT VISION FRISCO AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY STAFF AND THE ENGINEERS, IS HELPING TO DEFINE WHAT THAT TRANSPORTATION 2.0 LOOKS LIKE THROUGH 2050. AND AS A PROPOSAL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS ABLE TO SUBMIT WAS AN IDEA, A WHITE PAPER TO SHORE UP OUR GRID BY OVER FIVE GIGAWATTS USING SMRS, YOU KNOW, NATURAL GAS POWER PLANTS AS AN AUGMENTED TRANSPORTATION, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY KEEP YOU APPRIZED. WE'VE GOT SOME PRETTY COOL THINGS COMING UP IN 26. [CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)] ALL RIGHT. THAT'LL TAKE US TO CITIZEN INPUT. OKAY. SO CITIZEN´S INPUT IN THIS SECTION OF THE MEETING IS GOING TO BE FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. SO WE HAVE FOUR THIS EVENING. I WILL BE CALLING YOUR NAME. I WILL ALSO CALL THE NEXT PERSON WHO WILL BE AFTER THAT. SO WE CAN TRY TO GET THROUGH THESE IN A TIMELY FASHION. YOU WILL HAVE FIVE MINUTES. IF YOU COME UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. THERE IS A TIMER UP THERE THAT WILL HELP TO KEEP YOU ON TRACK. SO THE FIRST PERSON THAT I HAVE IS KAITLYN ERNETTE, AND THEN NEXT WILL BE PAUL JESSON. HELLO. YOU ALREADY SAID MY NAME, KAITLYN ERNETTE. I LIVE IN FRISCO ON CARDIFF LANE. HELLO, MY NAME IS KAITLYN. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF FRISCO FOR 14 YEARS. I GREW UP HERE, AND IT IS BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR THESE SPRAWLING SUBURBAN STREETS THAT I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY TO ADDRESS A BURGEONING ISSUE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. ICE. WE DO NOT WANT ICE HERE. WE DO NOT WANT OUR CITY OFFICIALS OR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO COOPERATE WITH ICE. ICE STANDS FOR EVERYTHING THAT FRISCO IS NOT. THEY PREY UPON THE VERY DIVERSITY THAT MAKES THIS CITY SO GREAT. [00:45:04] FRISCO HAS TOPPED LISTS FOR THE PAST DECADE AS ONE OF THE SAFEST, FASTEST GROWING SUBURBS IN THE US, LAUDED FOR ITS BOOMING LOCAL ECONOMY. THIS EXPANSION IN POPULATION AND CAPITAL WAS, AND IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF FRISCO'S ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND CULTIVATE DIVERSITY. FOSTERING A SENSE OF BELONGING AND COMMUNITY DESPITE ITS CONSTITUENTS VAST DIFFERENCES, IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING, AND SHOULD BE CELEBRATED, ALONG WITH THE PHENOMENAL EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. PEOPLE MOVE HERE FOR THE QUIET, SLOW PACE OF LIFE AND SAFETY. THAT'S WHY FRISCO IS A PRIMO SPOT TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN, BECAUSE OF HOW SAFE AND NICE IT IS. BUT NOW, WITH UNMARKED ICE AGENTS RANSACKING OUR STREETS, FAMILIES ARE AT RISK IN THEIR DAY TO DAY LIVES. A SIMPLE DINNER DINING OUT AT CHICK FIL A CAN LEAD TO KIDNAPING. FAMILIES CAN NO LONGER SHOP AT THE MALL FOR BACK TO SCHOOL CLOTHES WITHOUT FEAR OF NEVER SEEING THEIR LOVED ONES AGAIN. YOUNG LOVERS NO LONGER CAN BUY AN ENGAGEMENT RING OR EVEN MARRY THE ONE THAT THEY LOVE BECAUSE AGENTS ARE LURKING, WAITING, PROFILING ANYONE THEY DEEM FIT AND SNATCHING THEM UP IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE AND POCKETING WHATEVER THEY CAN. I GREW UP FEMALE. I GREW UP AS A GIRL, A WOMAN. I'M WELL AWARE HOW SEX TRAFFICKING OPERATES IN PUBLIC CONDITIONS, AND WHEN YOU LAY THEIR ACTIONS SIDE BY SIDE ON PAPER, IS ICE REALLY THAT DIFFERENT? SCHOOLS HAVEN'T BEEN SAFE BECAUSE OF ACTIVE SHOOTINGS, BUT NOW ICE AGENTS ARE BREAKING IN, PULLING FIRE ALARMS TO FUNNEL PEOPLE OUT AND LOCK THEM UP. TEACHERS INCARCERATED IN FRONT OF TODDLERS AND KIDS NO OLDER THAN 12 YEARS OLD. NO PAPER STATUS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A CHILD'S SAFETY AND SENSE OF WELL-BEING. THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF THERAPY THAT CAN HEAL OR EVEN BEGIN TO QUELL THE DAMAGE BEING DEALT TO THEIR YOUNG PSYCHES. IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. WE WANT SAFETY ON THESE STREETS, NOT INDISCRIMINATE KIDNAPING THAT RESULTS IN LAW ABIDING CITIZENS BEING ARRESTED AND SHIPPED OFF TO WHO KNOWS WHERE, NEVER TO BE SEEN OR HEARD FROM AGAIN. WE WANT FREEDOM, NOT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. THIS PAST SUNDAY MORNING, IN LESS THAN A TEN MINUTE DRIVE TO MY JOB AT 9 A.M. I SAW TEN POLICE VEHICLES ACTIVELY INDEPENDENTLY PATROLLING STREETS. THAT IS NOT NORMAL OR INDICATIVE OF SAFETY. IF ANYTHING, THAT MUCH FIREPOWER AND HEATED GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE FEELS A LOT LIKE THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS WE GREW UP HEARING ABOUT RUSSIA. WE ARE THE ONLY FIRST WORLD DEVELOPED NATION TO HAVE SUCH HEAVILY ARMED OFFICERS ROAM OUR STREETS. ARE WE REALLY THAT ADVANCED, IF WE'RE RESORTING TO THE SAME LOWBROW TACTICS AS OUR NATION'S PERCEIVED ENEMIES? THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS MUCH ARTILLERY IN THE SUBURBS. FRISCO HAS SOME OF THE LOWEST CRIME RATES IN TEXAS. LET'S FOCUS ON THE REAL PROBLEMS AND NOT THE ONES BASED ON SKIN COLOR BIAS. WE ARE NEIGHBORS. LET'S ACT LIKE IT AND SHOW SOME SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF. SERVE AND PROTECT ALL. WE DO NOT WANT ICE HERE. PROTECT FRISCO'S DIVERSITY. PROTECT YOUR CONSTITUENTS SAFETY. PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU. OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE PAUL JESSON, AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE HAVE MARK PALASCIANO. OH, HE'S HERE? GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF. MY NAME IS PAUL JESSON. I LIVE AT 5857 LEGACY DRIVE. I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 2005 AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT I RECENTLY HEARD WHAT CITY THAT WAS. IT CERTAINLY ISN'T THE ONE I WANTED HER AROUND, WHICH WAS IN FRISCO. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AS A CITY COUNCIL FOR ALL THE GOOD WORK YOU DO. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES, AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES IN KEEPING THE CITY THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. SO I'M SAFE ON ANY STREET I GO TO. I JUST WANT TO DO SOME REVIEW. SOMETIMES WE TALKED ABOUT THE IDEA OF YOU ONLY HAVE TO TELL A MAN ONCE, AND SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO TELL HIM, BUT ACTUALLY YOU GOT TO TELL HIM. REMIND HIM MANY TIMES. SO I JUST WANT TO DO SOME QUICK REVIEW ON MAIN STREET IN TERMS OF THE RAIL DISTRICT. AND I GOT MY RAIL HAT ON, AND I HAD SOME REQUESTS FOR A LITTLE [INAUDIBLE]. THAT'S STILL THERE. IF THE LIGHTS GO OUT, I HAVE EXTRA LIGHT. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP IN TERMS OF BATTERY POWER TO WORK WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. NOW YOU BEHAVE. SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL THINGS. I THINK MOST OF US ARE AWARE OF THE REAL SITUATION [00:50:09] AND THE MAIN STREET. AND JUST TO REVIEW IN TERMS THAT IT'S REALLY BEEN KIND OF MISERABLE FOR THE POOR BUSINESSES, THESE ARE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 10, 15, 20 YEARS. THEIR MAINSTAY IN THE COMMUNITY. SEVERAL HAVE CLOSED. SOME ARE ABOUT TO CLOSE, SOME HAVE HAD TO BORROW. AND THE DIFFICULTY THEY GOT INTO FINANCIALLY WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. NOT THAT THEY WERE BAD BUSINESSES. WE MAKE MISTAKES AND SOMETIMES PROJECTS GO THROUGH LIKE THE RAIL DISTRICT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, OOPS, COSTS THEM A LOT OF MONEY. SO I THINK IT'S BEEN AGREED TO THAT THEY NEED TO BE REIMBURSED. THE QUESTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN HOW MUCH? WE GOT A GOOD START. THERE WAS THE CARDS. THEN THERE WAS, I HEARD ABOUT $500,000, AND IT WAS THE LAST TIME SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT 1.5 MILLION. IS THAT TRUE? OKAY. AND WE ALL APPLAUDED THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS A GREAT. REMEMBER THE KEY WORD? START. AND BY THE WAY THE 1300 HAS PRETTY MUCH THAT I COLLECT. THAT HAS PRETTY MUCH BEEN DISTRIBUTED. TEN DOWN, THREE TO GO. THAT WILL BE FINISHED BY NEXT MEETING. SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS FIND OUT WHAT IS THE ACTUAL AMOUNT THAT SHOULD BE REIMBURSED? AND IT'S BEEN MY HOME. GOT SOME FRIENDS WHO ARE SOMEWHAT EXPERT. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE TO THE POINT ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO HEAR, BUT BASICALLY WHAT THE BUSINESSES NEED FROM THE CITY BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF BUSINESS IS ABOUT 8 TO $9 MILLION. SO WE'VE GOT A GOOD START IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE ALREADY. AND I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, AND I HOPE I GET TO ASK, SO TO SPEAK, ONE, WE'VE KIND OF ASSUMED IT'S BEEN YOU GUYS FAULT, AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BLAME ANYBODY, BUT IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE WHERE IT IS. DO YOU FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT? NUMBER ONE. AND NUMBER TWO, WHAT IS YOUR NUMBER FOR REIMBURSEMENT THAT THE CITY REALLY DOES OWE THESE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN ALMOST RUINED THE WAY THEY HAVE? IS YOUR NUMBER 3 MILLION? IS IT 5 MILLION? IS IT 9 MILLION? IS THERE A NUMBER THAT YOU HAVE LANDED ON, OR ARE WE DONE WITH THIS AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ISSUE? AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE I'M A CITIZEN. AND AS WE POINTED OUT LAST TIME, THESE ARE FAMILY AND FAMILIES WHO HAVE FAMILIES. THEY'RE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE, YOU KNOW, DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU'D WANT THEM TO DO UNTO YOU. HOW WOULD WE WANT TO BE TREATED IF WE WERE THE BUSINESSES WHO WERE GOING THROUGH WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH AND WHAT IT HAS COST THEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN THEIR FAULT. SO I WANT TO IMPLORE AND ASK THE CITY COUNCIL TO BUILD ON THAT GREAT START YOU'VE GIVEN US, AND GET UP INTO THE HIGHER SINGLE NUMBER MILLIONS. 07, 8, 9 MILLION, WHATEVER IT IS, FOR THAT PURPOSE. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL DO THAT. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. AND REMEMBER, THE RAIL DISTRICT IS COUNTING ON YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE HE GETS HIS EXERCISE. THANK YOU FOR THAT, BY THE WAY. IF ANYBODY WANTS ONE OF THESE IT'S BIG ALEX ON AMAZON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NEXT WE HAVE MARK PALASCIANO. AND THEN AFTER THAT WE WILL HAVE MR. LEE. ALL RIGHT GUYS I'M BACK. DID YOU GUYS MISS THE T-MOBILE WHISTLEBLOWER? I BET YOU DIDN'T. I SPENT THREE AND A HALF MONTHS IN THE COLLIN COUNTY JAIL, BECAUSE THE STATE OF TEXAS IN COLLIN COUNTY SAID I WEAPONIZED FREE SPEECH IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT. WHAT A JOKE MY CORRUPT TRIAL WAS. THEY EVEN CHANGED OUT MY CONSTITUTIONAL JUDGE FROM COLLIN COUNTY WITH A RETIRED LIBERAL JUDGE FROM DALLAS, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU WEAPONIZE THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM TO GO AFTER SOMEONE SPEAKING UP. BUT DON'T WORRY, I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT ME AND MY STORY TODAY. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE INDIAN TAKEOVER IN FRISCO AND H-1B FRAUD. I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THE SOMALIAN FRAUD IN MINNESOTA, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT FRISCO BEING TAKEN OVER BY INDIANS AND BEING THE LARGEST HUB FOR H-1B EMPLOYMENT IN AMERICA. OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, FRISCO'S INDIAN POPULATION HAS EXPLODED BY 4,510%, FROM 2% OF THE POPULATION TO 33% OF THE POPULATION. AS A REMINDER, FROM THE LAST TIME I SPOKE IN JUNE AND JULY, LET ME REMIND YOU OF THE MAYOR'S DONATIONS. IN 2021, 10% OF DONATIONS ABOVE $1,000 WERE FROM PEOPLE WITH INDIAN LAST NAMES, AND 2023, 55% OF DONATIONS ABOVE $1,000 WERE FROM PEOPLE WITH INDIAN LAST NAMES. [00:55:05] A 450% INCREASE IN DONATIONS ABOVE $1,000 FROM PEOPLE WITH INDIAN LAST NAMES. THAT SEEMS LIKE A RED FLAG TO ME. NOW LET ME ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL THAT I DON'T EXPECT YOU GUYS TO ANSWER, BUT I'M GOING TO ASK THEM ANYWAY. MAYOR CHENEY FOR 2023, WHY WERE FOUR OF YOUR TOP DONORS INDIAN PEOPLE NOT LIVING IN FRISCO OR EVEN COLLIN COUNTY, AND DONATING $5,000 TO YOU? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE WOULD DONATE TO A MAYOR THAT DOESN'T REPRESENT THEM, UNLESS THAT MAYOR REPRESENTS BUSINESS INTERESTS THAT MAKE THEM MONEY. I'M SURE IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT ALL OF YOU ARE IN REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, AND THOSE FOUR DONORS HAVE OVER 158 BUSINESSES REGISTERED IN THEIR NAME. BURT, FRISCO'S FIRST INDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, I GOT A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU TOO. WHY DID YOU USE A CONSULTING FIRM WHERE THE CEO WAS CONVICTED OF FRAUD? WHY IS ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST DONORS AN INDIAN IN THE NORTH TEXAS REAL ESTATE BUSINESS THAT DOESN'T LIVE IN FRISCO? WHY IS ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST DONORS A WHITE RESIDENT IN DALLAS IN REAL ESTATE? WHY DOES ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST DONORS HAVE FOUR COMPANIES HIRING H-1B EMPLOYEES? AND WHY DOES ONE OF YOUR DONORS HAVE 23 H-1B COMPANIES REGISTERED TO ONE ADDRESS? ALL IN MY QUESTIONS THERE. WE'LL SEE IF YOUR CONSTITUENTS OR ANY NEWS OUTLETS APPLY PRESSURE AND FORCE YOU GUYS TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. AS A REMINDER, I STARTED SPEAKING AT FRISCO CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL 2025 TO EXPOSE T-MOBILE AS A WHISTLEBLOWER BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR HEADQUARTERS IS RIGHT HERE IN FRISCO, TEXAS, THE ONE I WORKED OUT OF. ALL OF YOU SHOULD HAVE HELPED ME, BUT ALL OF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO SUPPORT A CORPORATION OVER YOUR OATH TO THE TEXAS AND UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. AND LET'S NOT FORGET, IN JULY OF LAST YEAR WHEN YOU PARTNERED WITH THE PGA, TAMMY CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED FOR EXERCISING MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT. I POSTED THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE TO MY YOUTUBE, IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I'M A 42 YEAR OLD LIFELONG TEXAN, AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY SAD WHAT'S GOING ON IN TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, AND THE CORRUPTION GOES DEEPER THAN PEOPLE CAN IMAGINE. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MY STORY OR WANT TO SUPPORT ME, CHECK OUT MY SUBSTACK WEBSITE OR FIND ME ON X, INSTAGRAM OR YOUTUBE. IT'S HARD TO FIND ME BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SEVERELY SHADOWBANNED. MAKE SURE YOU SPELL MY NAME CORRECTLY. MARKPALASCIANO.COM. I WOULD ALSO BE ON TIKTOK, BUT T-MOBILE GOT ME BANNED THE SAME DAY I HAD MY FIRST COURT DATE. AND BEFORE I GO, I GOT ONE MORE QUESTION. DID FRISCO DROP THE CHARGES FOR JANUARY 6TH INSURRECTIONIST JAKE LANG TRESPASSING ON FRISCO ISD PROPERTY? FRISCO SPENT $50,000 ON POLICE OVERTIME FOR HIS PROTECT WHITE AMERICANS PROTEST THAT 15 PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO. AND THEN HE RECORDED HIMSELF BREAKING INTO THE STADIUM WHERE CARMELO ANTHONY STABBED AUSTIN METCALF. FRISCO ANNOUNCED CHARGES BEING FILED, BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN COLLIN COUNTY´S COURT SYSTEM. HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT, AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW TEXANS HOW CORRUPTED THE CITY OF FRISCO IS. I'LL SEE YOU GUYS FEBRUARY 3RD AT THE NEXT MEETING. THANK YOU. OKAY, THEN FINALLY THIS EVENING, WE HAVE MR. LEE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. ALL OF YOU. TODAY, MY SUBJECT IS ETERNAL LIFE AND DEATH. PRESENT DEATH AND ETERNAL LIFE. BIBLE SAYS MATTHEW CHAPTER FIVE, VERSE 1011. BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE. FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL REVILE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU, YOU SHALL ALL MANNER OF. THEY SHALL SAY. ALL MANNER OF THE. AGAINST YOU. FALSELY, THEN. FOR MY SAKE REJOICE, AND [01:00:04] ARE EXCEEDING GLAD. FOR FEAR IS YOUR REWARD. FOR GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN FOR SO PERSECUTED. THE PROPHETS WHICH ARE BEFORE YOU. APOSTLE PAUL, HE WAS CAPTURED BECAUSE HE PREACHED JESUS CHRIST. SO HE WAS CAPTURED BY JEWISH PEOPLE. SO DELIVERED TO ROMAN. SO UNDER THE NARROW HE IS FAMOUS IN ROMAN EMPEROR. HE IS NOT A. THEY REPORTED TO THE NARROW. THE APOSTLE PAUL IS NOT CRIMINAL. WE EVEN THE TERRORISTS IN THE JUDEA. IF NOT, THEN WE KEEP HIM. BUT ALL ARE WE? THE KING AGRIPPA IS THE SYRIAN AND THE PALESTINE AT THAT TIME. HE WAS CAPTURED AND THEY JUDGED HIM. BUT NO CRIMINAL SINS, ONLY PREACHING JESUS. THAT IS THE. BECAUSE OF JESUS HE WAS CAPTURED AND THE PRISON AND REMOVED TO THE ROMAN UNDER THE NERO. AT THAT TIME, NERO BELIEVED THEY ARE SAYING AND AND MAKE COMFORTABLE FOR JAIL. ONE RENTAL HOUSE. THE HOUSE IS THE PRISONER. BUT HE WAS KEPT THERE. BUT HE BRAVELY PREACHING IN THE PALACE PEOPLE. THANK YOU. AND THERE WAS FAMILY PEOPLE. ALL OR ALMOST ALL BELIEVED JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU, MR. LEE. THAT IS STRANGE. THANK YOU, MR. LEE. BY THE HELP OF GOD, HE WAS A PRISONER. BUT IN THE PRISON, PHILIPPIAN. AND SECOND TIMOTHY. THANK YOU, MR. LEE. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. THANK YOU. TIME'S UP TONIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. THANK YOU. MY. YEAH, YOUR TIME'S UP. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME, MR. LEE. THANK YOU. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. THAT WILL MOVE US INTO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. [CONSENT AGENDA] ITEMS PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL. THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON ANY SINGLE ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT. MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, ITEMS 12 THROUGH 16 FOR CONSIDERATION. HANG ON. YES. OKAY. CAN WE GET A LITTLE HEADS UP LIKE EITHER AN EXECUTIVE SESSION OR BEFORE THE MEETING [01:05:08] STARTS, SO THAT WE DON'T GET IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A MOTION AND THEN HAVE TO SUDDENLY STOP IT? YEAH, WELL, I HAD TO SEND AN EMAIL OUT TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL BEFORE YOUR WORK SESSION STARTED AT 4:30. AND SO WHAT I HAD MENTIONED YESTERDAY IN AN EMAIL WAS GO AHEAD AND ACT ON ITEM NUMBER 13. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO PULL THIS ITEM AND DEFER THAT TO A LATER COUNCIL DATE. THIS IS IN RELATION TO ITEM NUMBER 18 ON THE AGENDA, WHICH I WILL BE RECOMMENDING TO YOU TO REMAND IT BACK, AND I'LL GO INTO THE DETAILS ON THAT. BUT I DID MENTION THAT IN AN EMAIL TO PULL THAT, TAKE NO ACTION ON IT, AND THEN WE'LL ADD IT TO A FUTURE COUNCIL MEETING. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, LOOK FOR A MOTION TO PULL ITEM 13. MAKE A MOTION TO PULL ITEM 13. I SECOND. MOTION BY BURT. SECOND BY JARED. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES 6-0. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THE REMAINING ITEMS. MOVE TO APPROVE 12, 14 THROUGH 16. MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES 6-0. [Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute a Development Agreement by and between the City of Frisco and Main and Independence 5, LLC., on 6.9± acres on the southwest corner of Independence Parkway and Main Street. (Development Services/RR)] ITEM 13 WAS CONSIDERED AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND MAIN AND INDEPENDENCE 5, LLC ON 6.9 ACRES ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY AND MAIN STREET, AND LOOK FOR A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM TO JUST. WAIT. JUST DON'T TAKE ANY ACTION ON IT. SO YOU DON'T NEED TO TABLE IT AND WE'LL PUT THAT ON WHEN THE CASE COMES BACK BEFORE. SO NO ACTION IS NECESSARY. SO I DO HAVE ONE CITIZEN INPUT TOO. IT IS. DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT I DO HAVE THAT FOR THE RECORD, FOR WHEN IT COMES BACK AS WELL. WE CAN BRING THAT BACK UP. LEGISLATIVE AGENDA. [Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance for a voluntary annexation consisting of 122.5± acres in William G. Barnes Survey, Abstract No. 59 and John R. Hague Survey, Abstract No. 405, Collin County, Texas, at the northwest corner of Coit Road and PGA Road. Neighborhood #1. Annexation Case No. A25-0001. Applicant: First Texas Homes, Inc. (Development Services/RR)] THESE ITEMS MAY LEGALLY REQUIRE COUNCIL ACTION, BUT BY COUNCIL POLICY SHOULD BE THE CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION, THE THE CONCURRENCE OF TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT AND SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS ON THE OFFICIAL RECORD. WE HAVE ONE ITEM. ITEM 17. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 17. MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND. SECOND BY JARED. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THAT PASSES 6-0. NOW WE'LL MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM 18 IS A PUBLIC HEARING. [Public Hearing: A request to rezone 6.9± acres on the southwest corner of Independence Parkway and Main Street ("Property") from Agricultural to Planned Development-Retail, to amend the Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-04-09, as amended), and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Agricultural. Neighborhood #17. Zoning Case No. Z25-0009. Applicant: Spiars Engineering, Inc. (Development Services/RR)] A REQUEST TO REZONE 6.9 ACRES ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY AND MAIN STREET, FROM AGRICULTURAL TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT RETAIL, TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE NUMBER 11-04-09, AS AMENDED, AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME. ZONE AGRICULTURAL NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 17, ZONING CASE NUMBER Z25-0009. APPLICANT IS SPIARS ENGINEERING, INC. YES. JOHN LETTELLEIR, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. ON THIS ONE, SEVERAL OF YOU WERE GETTING EMAILS REGARDING THE PUBLIC NOTICES ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE. I WILL SAY, NUMBER ONE, WE COMPLIED WITH THE STATE LAW. WE DID NOTIFY PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT. WE ACTUALLY GO OUT AN EXTRA 25FT JUST TO MAKE SURE WE COVER EVERYBODY. SO EVERYTHING'S CORRECT ON THAT. ON HOA, WE NOTIFY HOA'S WITHIN 1500 FEET. WE DO THAT AS A COURTESY TO FIND ONE THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED, THE HOA CONTACT, AND THAT WAS FOR LIBERTY CROSSING. I DID NOTICE THAT TURNBRIDGE MANOR, WHICH IS OVER A MILE AWAY, DID RECEIVE A NOTICE. AND SO WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT THAT. BUT ONE THING I DO WANT TO MENTION ABOUT OUR CONTACTS COMES FROM THE HOA DIRECTORY THAT WE MAINTAIN. WE SEND OUT EMAIL BLASTS TWICE A YEAR TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE UPDATED INFORMATION. NOW, THE ONE THING THAT I´M GOING TO BE REQUESTING THAT YOU SEND THIS BACK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS BECAUSE OF THE ZONING SIGNS IN WHICH THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE POSTED ON THE PROPERTY. THEY HAD A PREVIOUS ZONING CASE. THAT CASE WAS DENIED. AND SO THEY RESUBMITTED A NEW CASE, BUT THEY USED THAT SAME NUMBER THAT WAS DENIED THE FIRST TIME. MY STAFF DID NOT CATCH THAT UNTIL AFTER THE 14 DAYS BEFORE THIS WENT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE CONSULTED WITH RYAN PITTMAN, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO AHEAD AND SEND THIS BACK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT NUMBER THAT WE POST ON THE ZONING SIDE, OR I SHOULD SAY THE APPLICANT, IS THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE CAN USE A QR CODE, GO TO THE WEBSITE AND GET THE INFORMATION FOR THIS, AND LEAVE ANY COMMENTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE REGARDING THE CASE. SO WITH THAT, MY RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL IS GO AHEAD AND SEND THIS BACK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ASKING THE APPLICANT TO DO IS SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SENT EMAILS IN TO DISCUSS THE ZONING CASE BEFORE GOING TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE CAN'T FORCE IT, BUT THAT WILL BE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPLICANT. [01:10:04] SO AGAIN, THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO REMAND IT BACK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. OKAY. SO TO EXECUTE THAT, IS IT TECHNICALLY A DENIAL OR IS IT JUST TO MAKE A MOTION TO REMAND IT? TO REMAND IT BACK, YOU'RE NOT DENYING IT. NOT APPROVING IT. YOU'RE JUST SENDING IT BACK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN ORDER SO FOR THE APPLICANT, WHICH THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE ZONING SIGN BUT GO THROUGH THE PROPER PROCESS OF NOTIFICATION. OKAY. DO WE OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TODAY OR DO WE WAIT UNTIL. NO. GO AHEAD AND JUST SEND IT BACK. YEAH, I WANT HIM OPEN. SO LIKE I MENTIONED, ANYBODY THAT'S HERE, WE WILL BE TAKING THE EMAILS. IF ANYONE LEFT BLUE CARDS, WE'LL USE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL TO REACH OUT TO THEM TO SCHEDULE A MEETING. SO I DON'T DISAGREE WITH JOHN, BUT THIS IS GOING TO END UP BEING A NEW CASE, RIGHT, JOHN? NO, IT'S THE SAME CASE. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE SENT BACK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. OKAY. WELL, I THINK SINCE YOU'VE CALLED THE PUBLIC HEARING, I THINK YOU NEED AT LEAST OPEN IT. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T WANT TO SPEAK BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK AT THE MEETING. IF THERE'S A MEETING, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK AT THE P&Z, AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK AGAIN AT CITY COUNCIL. BUT SINCE WE POSTED IT, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO AT LEAST OPEN IT. LET THEM. IF THEY WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, THEY CAN SAY SOMETHING, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY'LL WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE REAL ISSUES ARE AS IT EVOLVES IN THE MEETINGS THAT ARE GOING TO COME FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. OKAY. COUNCIL, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED. MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. AND AS WAS MENTIONED BY OUR CITY ATTORNEY, WE DID HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. YOU'RE STILL FREE TO SPEAK IF YOU WANT TO SHARE, YOU KNOW, COMMENTS. BUT THERE WILL BE POTENTIALLY FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES IF THIS CASE COMES BACK BEFORE COUNCIL. OKAY. THEN FOR PUBLIC THE PUBLIC HEARING, I DO HAVE SIX BLUE CARDS THAT DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK BUT ARE IN OPPOSITION OF THIS ITEM. AND THEN WE HAVE I THINK WE WERE UP TO EIGHT. WE ARE AT NINE. SO WE WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE SPEAK, JUST AS YOU HEARD EARLIER, WITH CITIZEN´S INPUT, I'LL CALL THE NEXT TWO PEOPLE SO THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING, YOU CAN BE PREPARED AND MAKE YOUR WAY DOWN TOWARDS THE PODIUM. SO WE'LL START WITH JORDAN PUJOL. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE'LL HAVE SHWETA TARAMI. HELLO, MY NAME IS JORDAN PUJOL. I LIVE ON WHIPPOORWILL LANE, WHICH IS THE CLOSEST COURT TO THIS PROPERTY AREA YOU GUYS ARE DISCUSSING. TONIGHT I COME TO SPEAK TO YOU NOT JUST AS A MEMBER OF THE GROVE, BUT AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET IN AN OPEN ENDED CUL DE SAC FACING THIS PROPERTY. MYSELF, AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER FAMILY I HAVE SPOKEN TO IN THIS AREA, IS VERY CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBLE REZONING OF THIS LAND FOR COMMERCIAL SPACE. MANY OF US, LIKE MYSELF, HAVE SPENT OUR LIFE SAVINGS IN ORDER TO BUILD A DREAM HOME, TO GROW OUR FAMILIES. ONE OF THE GREATEST ASPECTS OF OUR STREET IS HAVING A CLOSED LOOP WITH LESS TRAFFIC, IN ORDER TO LET ALL THE CHILDREN RIDE BIKES, PLAY AND LEARN OUTSIDE, AS WELL AS DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PARK THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. THIS IS A FAMILY AREA THAT ALREADY HAS MULTIPLE AMAZING GROCERY STORES, RESTAURANTS, CHURCHES, NAIL SALONS, AND SO MUCH MORE WITHIN ONE MILE OF OUR HOMES. NOT ONLY IS ADDING COMMERCIAL SPACE NOT NEEDED IN THIS AREA, BUT IT WILL COMPLETELY CHANGE THE ESTHETIC FEEL AND SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN. ON TOP OF THAT, IT WILL AFFECT PROPERTY VALUE, TRAFFIC, NOISE AND THE CHARACTER OF THE WHOLE AREA. WHEN DRIVING AROUND FRISCO, THERE IS NOT ONE CORNER I COULD FIND THAT HAS HOUSES DIRECTLY LOOKING AT A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. MANY ENCLOSED BACKYARDS, BUT NEVER A FRONT YARD LIKE MY OWN. PICTURE WALKING YOUR KIDS OUTSIDE IN THE MORNING TO LOOK DIRECTLY AT A LAUNDROMAT OR SMOKE SHOP, OR TAKE YOUR KIDS TO PLAY OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING AND NOW HAVE A BAR AND GRILL CROWD DIRECTLY WALKING DOWN YOUR STREET ON A PATH THAT WAS ORIGINALLY OPENED TO GIVE AN EASY ACCESS TO THE FAMILY PARK. WE WANT TO KEEP THIS AS A FAMILY THRIVING AREA THAT IS SAFE FOR OUR KIDS TO PLAY AND GROW. LASTLY, NONE OF US RECEIVED, INCLUDING MYSELF, A LETTER FROM THE CITY OR NOTICE ABOUT THIS REZONING. I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MAKING ANY DECISIONS FOR THIS LAND. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. OKAY. NEXT WE HAVE SHWETA TARAMI, AND THEN AFTER THAT WE HAVE JAGS MALHOTRA. [01:15:07] OKAY, WE CAN MOVE ON. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JAHID MALHOTRA, I GO BY JAGS AND I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF RESIDENTS OF GROVE, FRISCO. IT'S A MASTER COMMUNITY, 735 ACRES. AND RIGHT NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 2000 RESIDENTS. I'M HERE TO RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE ZONING CASE Z25-0009, WHICH SEEKS TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 6.9 ACRES OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF INDEPENDENCE AND MAIN STREET FROM AGRICULTURE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT RETAIL. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO MENTION THAT OUR HOA, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE AND NEITHER THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE VERY CLOSE TO THIS REZONING LAND. THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY NOTICE. AND THAT'S NUMBER ONE. AND NUMBER TWO, THIS SITE IS SURROUNDED BY ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, GROVE FREE SCHOOL, LIBERTY CROSSING. THE PROPERTY VALUES IN THIS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 800K TO ALMOST ABOUT $2 MILLION. SO IT IS ALSO ADJACENT TO HAROLD BECKER'S PARK, PRESIDENT TRAIL COMMUNITY CHURCH AND FUTURE FRISCO ISD SCHOOL LAND. RETAIL ZONING AT THIS LOCATION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL AND CIVIC USES. NUMBER THREE, RETAIL DEVELOPMENT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE TRAFFIC DELIVERY TRUCK CONGESTION AT THIS INTERSECTION, CREATING SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY FOR FUTURE SCHOOL CHILDREN, PARK VISITORS AND FAMILY. IT WILL ALSO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE VISUAL CHARACTER OF THE AREA. NUMBER FOUR. THE RETAIL SERVICES ALREADY EXIST ON THE MAIN STREET. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RESTAURANTS ABOUT 0.4 MILES WEST OF THIS SITE. SO THESE FOUR POINTS I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL DENY THIS REZONING REQUEST AND INSTEAD RECONSIDER LAND USES THAT BETTER ALIGN WITH THE FRISCO FAMILY FOCUSED VALUES SUCH AS PARK EXPANSION, COMMUNITY RECREATION, FACILITY, OR CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY SPACES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND LISTENING TO THE VOICES OF THE RESIDENTS. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. OKAY. THEN I GUESS WE HAD TWO AT THAT SAME TIME. LET'S DO SELVA. AND I CAN'T READ YOUR WRITING, BUT I KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT BECAUSE YOU'RE IN MY PHONE. SELVA, YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING TO? SIVASANKARAN. THANK YOU. COULDN'T READ YOUR WRITING TO SAY IT, THOUGH. I'M PRETTY CLOSE. THANK YOU. AND THEN NEXT WE WILL HAVE VITUI GEULA WILL BE THE NEXT ONE. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. I'M GOING TO REPEAT WHAT JAGS MENTIONED. YOU KNOW, WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS REZONING FOR THE SAME REASON. ONE IS THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS LIVING NEARBY THOSE COMMUNITIES. SECONDLY, THE ADJACENT PARK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PARK. IT HAS YOU KNOW, BASEBALL DIAMOND, FOOTBALL, SOCCER FIELDS, BUT DOESN'T HAVE A BASKETBALL OR A TENNIS COURT OR ANYTHING. SO I KNOW IT'S A LONG SHOT, BUT I WILL RECOMMEND CITY TO CONSIDER THAT AND DO SOME STUDY AND SEE WHETHER, YOU KNOW, IT'S WORTH BUYING A PIECE OF PROPERTY FROM THE PRIVATE RESIDENT AND ANNEXED TO THIS PARK. SECONDLY, WHEN YOU SEE THE CITY OFFICIAL´S REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY MENTIONED THAT SINCE THIS PROJECT IS NOT SO BIG, WE DON'T NEED TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH IS, I THINK, MAYBE A WRONG DECISION THERE BECAUSE THE PROJECT MIGHT BE A SMALL NOT DOES NOT REQUIRE BASED ON CITY ORDINANCE OR RULES. BUT IF YOU THINK 5 OR 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, THERE WILL BE A. I'M PRETTY SURE ONCE THE RETAIL COMES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE MAIN STREET AND INDEPENDENCE JUNCTION, PRETTY SURE THERE ARE 20 PLUS 26 PLUS ACRES NORTH OF MAIN STREET AND INDEPENDENCE. THAT PRIVATE OWNER MAY ALSO COME TO YOU GUYS AND ASK FOR A RETAIL REZONING. IF YOU IMAGINE THAT 26 ACRES OF RETAIL, SIX PLUS ACRES OF RETAIL SURROUNDED BY WELL ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY, IT'S GOING TO BE A DISASTER FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE. AND I'M NOT SURE I NEVER SEE A SINGLE STATEMENT TALKS ABOUT THE CITY OFFICIAL, NOR THE LANDLORD REACHES TO ISD AND ASK THEIR INPUT. I REACHED OUT TO ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES, I DIDN'T GET ANY RESPONSE BACK, BUT I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CITY OFFICIALS OR FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, WHETHER WE HAVE A PROCEDURE IN PLACE THAT IF ANY PROPERTY NEXT TO THE ISD FOR A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, DO WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE OR RULES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD REACH OUT TO ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES OR THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SCHOOL TO ASK THEIR INPUT, [01:20:10] TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY IS NOT AFFECTED BY REZONING. THAT'S MY NEXT CONCERN. THE THIRD ONE IS AGAIN YOU KNOW, WE DEFINITELY SHOULD CONSIDER TO SEE. TWO THINGS I WANT TO INSIST. ONE IS TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY. SECONDLY, AND ALSO A STUDY TO SEE WHETHER IT'S USEFUL TO BUY THE PIECE OF PROPERTY FROM THE CITY AND ANNEX TO THE PARK. SO THOSE TWO CONCERNED AND ALSO, OF COURSE, SAFETY OF THE KIDS SURROUNDING BY AND THE PROPERTY VALUE OF THE HOUSES NEARBY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE VIDHUSHI GULA. I'M PROBABLY WAY OFF ON THAT. A LITTLE BIT. SORRY. PLEASE, CAN YOU PLEASE SAY IT CORRECTLY? SURE. YEAH. THANKS FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY. MY NAME IS VIDHUSHI GULA. AND I TALKED TODAY AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN OF LIBERTY CROSSING COMMUNITY ON THE INDEPENDENCE BETWEEN ROTATOR AND MAIN. AND OF COURSE, BEING VERY CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO THIS DEVELOPMENT IN QUESTION. WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS NOW AND HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVELY INVOLVED. AND WE WANT TO RAISE A CONCERN AND OF COURSE, OPPOSE THIS PROPOSAL AND WANT TO POINT OUT, LIKE EVERYONE ALREADY DID, THAT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMMUNICATION FOR OUR HOA BECAUSE WE WERE AT THE CITY OFFICE RECENTLY, AND WE REALIZED THAT THE HOA ADDRESS WAS OLD AND OBSOLETE, WHICH JUST CALLS FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION IN THIS DAY OF TECHNOLOGY AND TRANSPARENCY, BOTH FROM THE BUILDER AND THE COUNCIL. WE THANK SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR ACTUALLY HAVING MET WITH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS RECENTLY AND HEARING OUR CONCERNS. SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE AT THIS POINT IS LACK OF COMMUNICATION, WHICH I TALKED ABOUT AND THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION THAT WE ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT. I WANT TO JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY SPEED ROADWAY AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A DOCUMENTED SAFETY HISTORY. IN 2025 ALONE, THERE HAVE BEEN 42 REPORTED ACCIDENTS AT THIS INTERSECTION, WHICH EQUATES TO APPROXIMATELY ONE ACCIDENT EVERY EIGHT DAYS BEFORE ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS AGAIN INTRODUCED. THIS IS A THROUGHPUT FOR A LOT OF SCHOOLS IN THAT AREA. AND THERE'S ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND TWO DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS FOR THE KIDS TO PASS THROUGH IF THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS SAME NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE PROPOSED. SO, OF COURSE, A LOT OF US TALKED ABOUT THE CONCERN FOR OUR PROPERTY VALUES AND OVERALL RESIDENTIAL AREA AND CHARACTER. SO WE REALLY JUST REQUEST THE COUNCIL TO REEVALUATE AND SUBMIT THIS PROJECT BACK AND HAVE A BETTER COMMUNICATION AND DIALOG WITH THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES AS TO WHAT TO ACTUALLY EXPECT FOR THIS PROJECT IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. NEXT WE HAVE SAI KRISHNA AND AFTER THAT WE WILL HAVE MALIK SHAH. GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TEAM AND ALSO CITY OFFICIALS. AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO MR. RICHARD ABERNATHY, CITY ATTORNEY, FOR GIVING US A CHANCE TODAY TO TALK. MY NAME IS SAI KRISHNA AND I'M A RESIDENT AT 13059 AZRA TRAIL, FRISCO, TEXAS. THE GURU COMMUNITY IS MY NEIGHBOR COMMUNITY. AND RECENTLY PEOPLE ARE MOVING HERE AND MAKING THEIR HOUSE AS THEIR DESTINY IN FRISCO. AND I'M GREAT. BUT TONIGHT WHAT CONCERNS ME IS AROUND OUR COMMUNITY, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SMALL BUSINESSES OR WHATEVER THAT STRIP DISTRICTS HAS BEEN RISING LIKE ANYTHING. RECENTLY, BLAZE PIZZA, WHICH IS ON THE COIT, WAS OPENED RECENTLY AND ALREADY CLOSED. WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO? IS IT MAKING LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE INVESTING SO MUCH MONEY. WE ARE PAYING MORTGAGE. WE ARE INVESTING LIKE WE ARE PAYING AN INTEREST SO MUCH AND OUR VALUES ARE GOING DOWN, WHICH IS NOT CORRECT. AND THIS ZONING REQUEST WAS PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED AND REJECTED UNDER A DIFFERENT PROJECT NUMBER. RENUMBERING THE PROJECT DOES NOT CHANGE THE UNDERLYING LAND USE CONCERNS OR THE IMPACTS ON SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. [01:25:02] MY CONCERN IS LIKE WHEN IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REJECTED JUST BECAUSE CHANGING A NUMBER, HOW DID IT BECOME LIKE APPROVED? I'M VERY SERIOUS ABOUT IT AND I FEEL REALLY CONCERNED. IS THERE ANY LOBBY GOING ON IN THE LOWER LEVEL AND OR IN THE HIGHER LEVEL TO APPROVE THESE PROJECTS LIKE THIS? WE TRUST YOU GUYS. WE TRUST ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. HONORABLE MAYOR, WE TRUST YOU. WHERE ARE WE HEADING? THIS IS NOT CORRECT. HOMEOWNERS INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY BASED ON THE CITY'S LONG TERM LAND USE PLANS AND EXPECTATIONS. CHANGING ZONING AT THIS SCALE UNDERMINES THOSE COMMUNITIES AND SETS A CONCERNING PRECEDENT FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I REQUEST CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THIS REZONING REQUEST AND PRIORITIZE THE THOUGHTFUL GROWTH THAT PROTECTS EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALIGNS WITH THE FRISCO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, I APPRECIATE IT. [APPLAUSE]. OKAY. NEXT WE HAVE MANLIK SHAW. AND THEN AFTER THAT WE WILL HAVE KIM STONE. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. AT THE RISK OF REPEATING WHAT PREVIOUS SPEAKERS ALREADY SAID, WE ALREADY HAVE RETAIL LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM THIS PROPOSED REZONING AREA. THIS REZONING CASE HAS ALREADY BEEN REJECTED PREVIOUSLY AND IT THREATENS PROPERTY VALUES. IT THREATENS THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS. NO INPUT HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE FRISCO ISD. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. SO I REQUEST PLEASE VOTE NO FOR Z25-0009. THANKS. [APPLAUSE]. OKAY. KIM STONE. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE HAVE RUCHIKA MITTAL. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, FOR ALLOWING US TO COME AND OPPOSE THE Z25-009. MY NAME IS KIM STONE. I LIVE AT LIBERTY CROSSING ON REVERE LANE. AND WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO THIS CORNER. SO I'M NOT GOING TO REITERATE EVERYTHING SAID EXCEPT TO JUST NOTE THAT I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HAS SAID. BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVEN'T MENTIONED. AND ONE IS ACTUALLY, IF YOU GO LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER PARKS IN FRISCO, IF THE COMMONS, THE WARREN SPORTS COMPLEX, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS AROUND ANY OF THOSE PARKS. AND SO I THINK I QUESTION WHY, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LONG TERM PLAN FOR FRISCO, PLAY FRISCO, BEING REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING SURE WE'RE HAVING WALKABILITY AND USABILITY, WHY IS THIS PARTICULAR CORNER RIGHT NEXT TO A PARK BEING OPEN FOR THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT? AND I REALLY HOPE THAT THE ZONING AND THE PLANNING AND YOU ALL REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, GOING BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. AND ALSO JUST REALLY THINKING ABOUT THE USE OF RETAIL SPACE HERE. THERE ARE SO MANY VACANT PLACES. THERE'S SO MUCH CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. THERE'S SO MANY PLANNED THINGS WHERE YOU SEE. AVAILABLE, AVAILABLE, AVAILABLE. AND I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHERE THOSE ARE GOING. AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE. BECAUSE THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALL HERE IS BECAUSE WE LIVE IN FRISCO, BECAUSE WE LOVE FRISCO, AND WE WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE IT SERVE OUR NEEDS FOR THE FUTURE. SO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I AM OPPOSING THIS, AND I REALLY HOPE WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIALOG ABOUT THIS. THANKS. [APPLAUSE]. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS RUCHIKA AND I AM THE HOA PRESIDENT OF LIBERTY CROSSING. I HAVE SERVED ON THE HOA BOARD FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY WE DID NOT GET ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS ZONING REQUEST AT ALL. ALL THE POINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TALKED ABOUT MAJORLY BEING THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS. TEXAS DOT CLEARLY STATES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 42 ACCIDENTS AT THAT CROSSING ITSELF. BECAUSE OF THESE TRAFFIC HAZARDS AND EVERYTHING, I WOULD LIKE TO OPPOSE THE ZONING REQUEST AND SEND IT BACK. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]. THAT IS WE MOVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY LAURA TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES 6-0. THANK YOU ALL FOR. MAYOR, I'M SORRY. DO WE NEED TO CONTINUE THIS HEARING? SO IT'S GOING TO COME BACK UP. IT'S NOT UNDER THE SAME NUMBER? JOHN, ARE YOU GOING TO POST IT AGAIN? WE'RE GOING TO BE POSTING IT AGAIN WHEN WE TAKE IT BACK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. [01:30:09] SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE SAME ZONING CASE NUMBER. BUT WE WILL BE ADVERTISING JUST LIKE IT'S A NEW CASE. SORRY, MAYOR. NO. NO WORRIES. AND FOR THOSE THAT SPOKE AGAIN, THE PROCESS WILL BE IT WILL COME BEFORE A FUTURE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. AND IF PLANNING AND ZONING PASSES IT, THEN IT WOULD COME BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AGAIN. AND I'M SURE CITY STAFF WILL BE IN COMMUNICATION AS FAR AS WHEN IT WILL BE ON THE NEXT PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. SO WITH THAT, COUNCIL, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO REMAND THIS ITEM BACK TO PLANNING AND ZONING. MAKE A MOTION TO REMAND ZONING CASE NUMBER Z25-0009 BACK TO PLANNING AND ZONING. SECOND. OKAY, WE GOT A MOTION BY BURT. SECOND BY JOHN. [APPLAUSE]. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. OKAY. THAT'LL TAKE US TO ITEM 19, WHICH IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON 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 and instruments and procedures relating to said certificates; and enacting other provisions relating to the subject. (Budget/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, AND INSTRUMENTS AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO SAID CERTIFICATES, AND ENACTING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE PROJECT. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL. DERRICK COTTEN, CFO. TONIGHT'S ORDINANCE ALLOWS THE CITY OFFICIALS TO GO AHEAD AND EXECUTE A BOND SALE FOR 1100 SPACE STRUCTURED PARKING FACILITY IN HALL BUSINESS PARK. WHAT THIS ORDINANCE DOES IS SET THE PARAMETERS IN WHICH THAT DEBT COULD BE SOLD. THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT CANNOT EXCEED $38 MILLION. THE TRUE INTEREST COST NOT TO EXCEED 7%. IN THE FINAL MATURITY, NOT TO EXCEED FEBRUARY 15TH OF 2048. AND THE SALE MUST OCCUR WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE ORDINANCE BEING APPROVED. WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 19. MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND. SECOND BY JARED. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. ITEM 20 IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FRISCO REPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024-02-06 AND DESIGNATING EIGHT ELECTION PRECINCTS [Consider and act upon adoption of an Ordinance of the City of Frisco, Texas repealing Ordinance No. 2024-02-06 and designating eight (8) election precincts for the January 31, 2026, Special Election and each election to be held in the City of Frisco, Texas, thereafter, as ordered by the City Council; authorizing all necessary actions relating thereto. (CSO/KM)] FOR THE JANUARY 31ST, 2026 SPECIAL ELECTION AND EACH ELECTION TO BE HELD IN THE CITY OF FRISCO THEREAFTER, AS ORDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, AUTHORIZING ALL NECESSARY ACTIONS RELATED THERETO. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO ITEM 20 AND 21 ARE CONSIDERED CLEAN-UP ITEMS. AND WHY THAT IS, IS BECAUSE PRECINCTS IN COLLIN COUNTY AND DENTON COUNTY HAVE CHANGED AFTER WE CALLED THE SPECIAL ELECTION. AND SO TO GET THOSE CHANGES ACCOUNTED FOR, WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND CLEAN UP OUR PRECINCT ORDINANCE. AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM WILL BE TO CLEAN UP OUR ELECTION ORDINANCE FOR THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN JANUARY. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, THESE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, BUT ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE?

ALSO A NAVY SUBMARINE VETERAN AS WELL AS HE HAD INTEREST ON SERVING IN OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS SPECIFICALLY AROUND PLANNING AND ZONING.

MAYOR, I WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO SUPPORT MR. HOGAN AS WELL. IT'S TIME WE HAD A NUKE ON THOSE BOARDS, MR. HOGAN.

[Discussion on Governance Monitoring of present City Council Meeting.] SO I HAD WRITTEN A COMMENT THAT I'M JUST SO PROUD OF, THE WAY THAT THIS COUNCIL HANDLED THEMSELVES TONIGHT, AS WELL AS THE STAFF.
