[Council Subcommittee reports for current activities of the Legislative Committee, Governance Committee, Budget and Audit Committee, Frisco Square Management District, Dallas Regional Mobility Commission, North Central Texas Emergency Preparedness Committee, Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee, North Texas Commission, and Regional Transportation Council.]

COUNCIL. ANY UPDATES? WE HAD THE BUDGET AND AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING EARLIER TODAY.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR STAFF. THEY WENT THROUGH ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL AUDIT WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS.

THE ONE THING THAT WE WILL SEE ON THAT WILL PROBABLY RAISE SOME EYEBROWS IS THERE IS A RULE CHANGE IN HOW WE TREAT OUR EXPECTED SPEND FOR THE EXIDE PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY. SO WE WILL SEE AN ADJUSTMENT.

NOW, LOOKING AT THE MOST CURRENT AMOUNT THAT WE ARE EXPECTING FOR THE EXIDE CLEANUP.

SO OTHER THAN THAT, THAT IS THE ONLY MAJOR CHANGE THAT WE HAVE SEEN.

OUR STAFF WAS PREPARED FOR THAT. AND SO WE HAD A CLEAN AUDIT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS STAFF FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

GREAT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER UPDATES? YES. NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION.

WE'RE IN MARCH. COUNCILMAN THAKUR AND I ARE GOING TO WASHINGTON WITH BEN BREZINA.

IT'S A IT'S A ONCE A YEAR TRIP. AND ALSO THEY ANNOUNCED THE NORTH TEXAS INFRASTRUCTURE SUMMIT AHMET AND AUGUST.

END OF AUGUST, BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, THEY'VE ANNOUNCED THAT, SO I'LL BE ATTENDING THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU.

AND I'D LIKE TO UPDATE FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL.

VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THIS. SO JUDGE ANDY EADS WHO'S THE DENTON COUNTY JUDGE, LED A MOTION TO GET $65 MILLION FOR DENTON COUNTY TO IMPROVE MOBILITY FOR TRANSPORTATION.

AND VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT I WAS PART OF THAT VOTE.

AND AS A RESULT OF THAT IN FRISCO AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING AREAS, WE SHOULD SEE INCREASED ACTIVITY FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER UPDATES? ON OUR FRISCO VETERAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING IS ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD.

THE ONE IN JANUARY WAS CANCELED BECAUSE OF THE ICE STORM.

SO THIS WILL ACTUALLY BE OUR FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR AT THE FRISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY STARTING AT 6:30 P.M..

THANK YOU. JOHN. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'LL GO TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA CONSIDER ROUTINE IN NATURE AND ARE CONSIDERED NON-CONTROVERSIAL. THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. THE MAJORITY OF THE

[CONSENT AGENDA]

COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO MOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION. COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY VOTE NAY ON ANY ITEM WITHOUT COMMENT AND SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. AND WE NEED TO PULL ONE ITEM.

ITEM NUMBER 23. OKAY. MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND BY BURT.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THAT PASSES SIX ZERO. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THE REMAINING ITEMS. MOVE TO APPROVE 17 THROUGH 22 AND 24 THROUGH 29.

MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND. SECOND BY ANGELIA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THAT PASSES SIX ZERO. ITEM 23 WAS CONSIDERED AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A QUOTE WITH AMSYS INNOVATION SYSTEMS FOR CLOUD BASED AI DATA WAREHOUSE.

[Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute a Quote with AMSYS Innovation Solutions for a cloud-based AI data warehouse. (Information Technology/DF)]

I BELIEVE WE'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM BECAUSE WE'RE STILL SEEKING SOME COUNCIL QUESTIONS.

IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. THERE WAS A QUESTION THAT WE THINK WE KNOW THE ANSWER TO, BUT WE'RE DOUBLE CHECKING.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE DOUBLE CHECK ANSWER YET.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING THIS TO BE POSTPONED.

WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION ON THAT ITEM. THAT WILL MOVE US INTO CITIZEN INPUT.

OKAY. WELL GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. FOR CITIZENS INPUT I WILL BE CALLING YOUR NAME AND THEN THE PERSON AFTER YOU.

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

SO IF YOU ARE THE PERSON AFTER, PLEASE START MAKING YOUR WAY TOWARDS THE FRONT.

WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW TONIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE, ON A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TOPICS.

SO YOU WILL HAVE FIVE MINUTES. THERE IS A TIMER UP THERE AT THE FRONT.

WE WILL BE STRICT ON THE TIMING GUIDELINES JUST TO BE RESPECTFUL OF EVERYBODY'S TIME HERE TONIGHT.

AND I DO WANT TO SAY ONE THING BEFORE WE START. SO COUNCIL DID HAVE A WORK SESSION PRIOR TO THIS MEETING WHERE WE DISCUSSED OUR CITIZEN INPUT PROCEDURES.

AND WE'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF CITIZEN FEEDBACK OVER THE LAST WEEKS.

AND SO COUNCIL IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THESE PROCEDURES, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, TIMING AND CITIZEN PRIORITY AND OTHER MEASURES THAT COUNCIL WANT TO LOOK AT.

SO JUST BE AWARE THAT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MEETINGS AND PROBABLY IMPLEMENTING SOME CHANGES HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THEN FINALLY WHEN YOU GET UP TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. AND WE'RE GOING TO START WITH DONNA SCHMIDTLER.

THE NEXT PERSON WHO WILL BE UP IS BLAKE SEAVER.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD AFTERNOON OR EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I GUESS I'M HAVING A LONG DAY, BUT THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE HERITAGE ASSOCIATION.

A WEEK FROM TONIGHT, NEXT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, WE WILL BE HAVING A LECTURE IN A SERIES OF THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT ALL

[00:30:07]

THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN FRISCO IN THE LAST 25 YEARS, IN ANTICIPATION OF OUR 125TH BIRTHDAY NEXT YEAR, SO WE WILL HAVE FIZZED YESTERDAY'S ROOTS, TODAY'S SUCCESSES.

WE WILL HAVE DOCTOR RICK AND DOCTOR MIKE WALDROP AND THEY WILL BE SHARING SOME OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS.

RICK HAS BEEN WAS SUPERVISOR FOR 17 YEARS AND MIKE IS ON HIS WAY TO TO TO RESIGN AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

SO THEY'LL HAVE A LOT TO TELL US. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THIS INFORMATION OUT.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON OUR BOOK FOR FOR FRISCO'S 125TH BIRTHDAY, THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY WILL BE CELEBRATING THEIR 35TH ANNIVERSARY FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AND THAT IS ON TUESDAY.

I'M SORRY. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5TH, FROM 2 TO 4 ON THE ON THE MCCALLUM TERRACE.

SO WE HAVE ALSO SOME HISTORY THERE. SO I'D LIKE TO AND I WILL MENTION YOU CAN GO ON EVENTBRITE FOR THE TICKETS FOR OUR LECTURE.

THERE'S NO COST, BUT WE NEED TO KEEP BE MINDFUL OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM, SO WE DON'T BREAK ANY LAWS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU.

DONNA. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE BLAKE SEAVER. AND FOLLOWING.

AFTER THAT, WE WILL HAVE CHRIS WOOD.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS BLAKE SEAVER, AND I LIVE HERE IN FRISCO AT COURTLAND PRESTON.

AFTER THE FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETING THIS MONTH, PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY WERE CALLED RACIST, HATEFUL, FEAR MONGERS, CLOUT CHASERS AND MANY OTHER BUZZWORD INSULTS.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THERE WAS A MESSAGE VOICED BY CONCERNED CITIZENS THAT WENT IGNORED.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING ANTI-INDIAN OR TARGETING A CERTAIN ETHNIC GROUP.

HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TEXANS LIVING IN UNAFFORDABLE, CONGESTED, COMMERCIALIZED AND RAPIDLY CHANGING COMMUNITIES THAT DO NOT FEEL LIKE THEIR HOME ANYMORE. VISAS ARE A FEDERAL ISSUE. SO WHY ARE OUR CITY OFFICIALS FLYING TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN 2024? GOVERNOR ABBOTT, WITH THE TEXAS DELEGATE INCLUDING EX FRISCO DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HENRY WHALEN, FLEW TO MUMBAI, INDIA, WHERE THEY LOBBIED TECH CONSULTING COMPANIES INFOSYS AND COGNIZANT TO EXPAND IN TEXAS.

IT WORKED, BUT NOT FOR TEXANS. THE EXACT SAME COMPANIES THAT TEXAS OFFICIALS MET WITH ARE NOW LEADING THE LEADING H-1B SPONSORS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND HAVE FILED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VISAS IN DFW ALONE.

ACCORDING TO AT LEAST 80,000 JOBS AND $6 BILLION IN WAGES ARE HELD BY TEMPORARY FOREIGN VISA WORKERS IN TEXAS.

NOW, IMAGINE FLYING TO A FOREIGN NATION TO ASK COMPANIES TO REPLACE YOUR CITIZENS AND PAD YOUR NUMBERS, AND THEN CALLING THOSE SAME CITIZENS NAMES AFTER FINDING OUT YOUR SCHEME.

RESIDENTS DID NOT VOTE FOR FOREIGN BUSINESS INTERESTS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT RESULT IN AN IMPORTED CULTURE.

YOU CANNOT HAVE A COHESIVE SOCIETY IF GROUPS IMPORT THEIR SOCIAL STRUCTURE, LIVE IN ISOLATED NEIGHBORHOODS, OPERATE INSIDE CLOSED BUSINESS CIRCLES, AND LARGELY EXCLUDE ANYONE WHO'S NOT FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRY THAT'S HALFWAY ACROSS THE WORLD.

TEXAS CULTURE IS NOT IMAGINARY. WE HAVE OUR OWN SOCIETAL NORMS, NEIGHBORHOODS, HISTORY, FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS, AND WE DO NOT EXCLUDE OR ISOLATE BASED ON SHALLOW CHARACTERISTICS.

IN FACT, IT'S QUITE THE OPPOSITE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT UNITE US, SUCH AS OUR VALUES, BELIEFS, AND BEHAVIORS. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A UNITED COMMUNITY IS OUR COMMITMENT TO THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE IT UP.

DON'T BELIEVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE FIXING PROBLEMS THAT THEY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CAUSED, AND DON'T BELIEVE THAT UNITY IS THEIR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AFTER THEY CALL YOU NAMES FOR RECOGNIZING WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU.

THAT'S NOT UNITY OR #ONEFRISCO. A COMMUNITY IS NOT ONLY BUILT ON INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND CORPORATE RELOCATIONS, OR WE COULD ALL VOTE FOR A BULLDOZER AND CALL IT A DAY.

PROGRESS THAT FORGETS ITS PEOPLE IS NOT PROGRESS AND GROWTH THAT ERODES YOUR HOME IS NOT SUCCESS.

THE REAL TASK AHEAD IS NOT CHOOSING BETWEEN PROSPERITY OR IDENTITY.

IT'S HAVING THE WISDOM TO SECURE BOTH. THAT'S IT [APPLAUSE].

MR. SEAVER, MR. SEAVER, BEFORE YOU LEAVE, YOU DIDN'T FINISH FILLING OUT YOUR BLUE CARD WITH YOUR ADDRESS.

COULD YOU PLEASE FINISH THAT BEFORE YOU LEAVE? THANK YOU. WOULD YOU PASS THAT BACK TO CHRISTIE? ALL RIGHT.

NEXT, WE HAVE CHRIS WOOD AGAIN. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

AFTER THAT, WE WILL HAVE CHRISTIE HERNDON. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS CHRIS WOOD. I LIVE AT 5001 MARINA CLUB BOULEVARD IN FORT WORTH.

I'M HERE BECAUSE THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS INVESTED APPROXIMATELY $30 MILLION IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DALLAS COWBOYS,

[00:35:03]

INCLUDING OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE FORD CENTER AND RELATED FACILITIES.

WITH THAT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT COMES A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO PERFORM AT THESE VENUES.

I'M ASKING YOU TO USE THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS A SPECIFIC AND PREVENTABLE SAFETY RISK.

THE DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS JUMP SPLITS. THE JUMP SPLITS ARE A MANEUVER WHERE CHEERLEADERS LOCK ARMS, JUMP, AND LAND IN THE FULL SPLITS, OFTEN ON UNFORGIVING SURFACES SUCH AS TURF OR CONCRETE.

BECAUSE THEIR ARMS ARE LINKED. OPTING OUT IS TRULY NOT AN OPTION.

REFUSING TO PARTICIPATE WOULD ENDANGER FELLOW PERFORMERS.

THIS MOVE HAS CAUSED SERIOUS HARM, INCLUDING TORN ACLS, JOINT DAMAGE, BACK IN HIP INJURIES AND LONG TERM CHRONIC PAIN BEYOND THE IMMEDIATE RISK TO THE PERFORMERS.

YOUNG GIRLS LOOK UP TO THESE CHEERLEADERS AS ROLE MODELS AND FREQUENTLY ADD THIS DANGEROUS MOVE TO THEIR OWN DANCE ROUTINES, MULTIPLYING THE RISK FAR BEYOND THE STADIUM. I'VE MADE REPEATED GOOD FAITH EFFORTS TO RAISE THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY WITH THE COWBOYS ORGANIZATION. I'VE WRITTEN LETTERS TO TEAM LEADERSHIP, ATTENDED GAMES AND PERFORMANCES WEARING A SHIRT CALLING FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE JUMP SPLITS.

I'VE PUBLICLY COMMENTED ON CHEERLEADERS SOCIAL MEDIA.

THOSE EFFORTS WERE MET WITH POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM FANS, CHEERLEADERS, AND EVEN INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION.

BUT THE JUMP SPLITS REMAIN AT THIS POINT. THE ISSUE IS NO LONGER WHETHER THE RISK IS KNOWN, IT IS WHETHER THE CITY OF FRISCO, AS THE STEWARD OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND A PARTNER IN THESE FACILITIES, IS WILLING TO ASK THAT A KNOWN HIGH RISK MANEUVER BE REMOVED WHEN SAFER ALTERNATIVES EXIST.

I HAVE PERSONALLY CHOSEN TO STOP ATTENDING COWBOYS GAMES AND INSTEAD SUPPORT OTHER TEAMS, SUCH AS THE FORT WORTH VAQUEROS.

IF MORE FANS MAKE SIMILAR DECISIONS, THIS SHIFT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT FRISCO'S ENTERTAINMENT REVENUE, AN OUTCOME NO ONE HERE WANTS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU REQUEST THE DALLAS COWBOYS REMOVE THE JUMP SPLITS FROM PERFORMANCES. THIS IS A REASONABLE, TARGETED REQUEST THAT PRIORITIZES PERFORMER SAFETY, PROTECTS YOUNG FANS WHO EMULATE WHAT, EMULATE WHAT THEY SEE, AND REFLECTS RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION [APPLAUSE]. OKAY.

WE HAVE CHRISTIE HERNDON, AND NEXT WE'LL HAVE KELLY SMITH.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRISTIE HERNDON. I RESIDE AT 8417 CASITA DRIVE, MCKINNEY, TEXAS, 75071 COLLIN COUNTY. MY NAME IS IN. GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS CHRISTIE HERNDON, AND I'M HERE TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LONG LIST OF PET LAND FRISCO VICTIMS AND ADDRESS FRISCO'S ALLEGED ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY WHEN VIOLATING FRISCO PET STORE ORDINANCES.

ON JANUARY 19TH, LESS THAN ONE MONTH AGO, I PURCHASED TWO PUPPIES FROM PETLAND FRISCO.

ONE PUPPY WAS FOR ME AND HER NAME IS NALA AND ONE PUPPY WAS FOR A FRIEND.

I PURCHASED BOTH PUPPIES AT PETLAND BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS PURCHASING HEALTHY PUPPIES.

THE PUPPY I PURCHASED FOR MY FRIEND DIED SIX DAYS AND 21 HOURS LATER AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH COCCIDIA AND GIARDIA, WHICH ARE PARASITES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS.

WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH PETLAND WARRANTIES DEPARTMENT AND THEY STATED THE DEATH OF HER DOG WAS DUE TO THE TREATMENT, DECISIONS OF DOSING AND CARE ISSUES PROVIDED BY THE ATTENDING VETERINARIAN, AND THEREFORE FALL OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF PETLAND'S COVERAGE. WHAT IS SO UNBELIEVABLE IS THAT IT WAS PETLAND'S CONTRACTED VETERINARIAN.

[00:40:01]

I TOOK MY PUPPY NALA TO THE OTHER PET VET FOR HER VISIT, AND THE VET DIAGNOSED NALA WITH TWO PARASITES, GIARDIA AND COCCIDIA AND AN UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION.

UPON LEAVING THE VET, I SAW A WOMAN CARRYING A SHIH TZU PUPPY THAT I RECOGNIZED FROM THE PETLAND FRISCO STORE, AND SHE MENTIONED SHE HAD JUST PURCHASED HER PUPPY THE DAY BEFORE.

THE PUPPY HAD THE SAME COUGH AS NALA. MY PUPPY DID.

THEN THE RECEPTIONIST AT THE VET STATED TO ME, QUOTE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ANIMALS FROM PETLAND FRISCO.

THEY ALL COME IN HERE SO SICK. END QUOTE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD LOST ALL TRUST IN PETLAND VET, I TOOK MY PUPPY NALA TO MY PERSONAL VET AND SHE WAS ADDITIONALLY DIAGNOSED WITH TWO INCURABLE VIRUSES.

CANINE CIRCOVIRUS AND CANINE ENTERIC CORONAVIRUS.

BEFORE I PURCHASED NALA, I HAD TWO HEALTHY DOGS AT HOME, BUT THEY BECAME INFECTED WITH GIARDIA AS WELL FROM NALA'S SICKNESS.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ALSO TREATED FOR GIARDIA BY MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, AND MY HUSBAND IS STILL SICK TO THIS DAY. I LEARNED NALA HAD RECEIVED SIX DOSES OF MEDICATION THAT TREAT PARASITE INFECTIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. I HAVE ALL EMAILS BEGGING THE PETLAND WARRANTY DEPARTMENT TO RELEASE MY PUPPY'S QUOTE PROGRAM OF VETERINARY CARE END QUOTE FORM AS PROMISED ON THEIR WEBSITE, WHICH THEY REFUSE TO DO. PETLAND CONTINUES TO VIOLATE THIS ORDINANCE AND CONTINUES TO SELL SICK PUPPIES.

SIX YEARS AGO, AFTER THE PETLAND FRISCO UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION THAT REVEALED FRAIL AND AILING PUPPIES TOO SICK TO EAT.

THE INVESTIGATION HAD TO COME TO A HALT WHEN THE UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATOR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH [INAUDIBLE] FROM THE PUPPIES, THE CITY OF FRISCO ADOPTED NEW REGULATIONS FOR PET STORES DESIGNED TO PROTECT DOGS, CATS, AND PROSPECTIVE OWNERS. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR REVISED ANIMAL ORDINANCE IS NOT WORKING, BECAUSE PETLAND CONTINUES TO SELL SICK PUPPIES, AND YOU CONTINUE TO ALLOW THEM TO SELL SICK PUPPIES.

DOES ANYONE ON THIS CITY COUNCIL UNDERSTAND HOW DANGEROUS THESE PARASITES ARE, NOT ONLY TO THE PUPPIES, BUT IT IS A COMMUNICABLE DISEASE SPREAD TO HUMANS.

THANK YOU. OUR NEXT PERSON IS KELLY SMITH. AND THEN AFTER THAT IAN JYOTI.

HEY, GUYS. I'M KELLY, I LIVE IN AUBREY. I'M A FORMAL FRISCO RESIDENT, BUT MY KIDS STILL LIVE IN FRISCO AND WORK IN FRISCO AS WELL.

THE RAPID DEMOGRAPHICS CHANGE IN FRISCO IS THE RESULT OF STEERING THE INDIAN COMMUNITY FOR TAX BENEFITS AT THE EXPENSE OF LOCALS, LOSING JOBS AND MASSIVE CULTURE CHANGE. I HOLD A TEXAS REAL ESTATE LICENSE, AND I WAS AN ASSISTANT PROPERTY MANAGER FOR A COMPANY THAT OWNS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES IN FRISCO AND IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS IN THE APARTMENTS.

A PERSON FROM INDIA WILL COME IN, FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AND THEY WILL GET APPROVED.

AND THEN ON MOVE IN DAY, THE QUALIFYING PERSON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, BUT A FRIEND WILL BE PICKING UP THE KEYS AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL LEASEHOLDER IS BACK IN INDIA AND IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AHOLD OF.

THAT MEANS THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY MOVED IN DID NOT HAVE TO QUALIFY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

THAT IS A FAIR HOUSING ISSUE. LET ONE APPLICANT WHO GOT DENIED FIND OUT AND THAT IS A MASSIVE LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S HAPPENING ON SUCH A LARGE SCALE IN FRISCO AND PLANO THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO POLICE.

ONCE AN APARTMENT GETS IN INDIAN HANDS, IT'S OVER.

IF THEY WANT TO MOVE OUT, THEY DON'T HONESTLY LET THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY KNOW.

THEY ADVERTISE IT ON VARIOUS INDIAN FACEBOOK GROUPS AND APPS AND MAKE SURE THEY DO AN APARTMENT CHANGE TO ANOTHER PERSON FROM INDIA.

NO OTHER RACE OR NATIONALITY HAS A CHANCE, AND THAT'S ONLY COUNTING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THE CHANGES THROUGH THE OFFICE STAFF.

I ALSO SEE PEOPLE WHO WERE EVICTED BECAUSE THEIR JOB WAS REPLACED BY H1-B WORKERS, AND THAT CAN KEEP YOU FROM RENTING FOR 4 TO 7 YEARS DEPENDING.

MEANWHILE, PEOPLE FROM INDIA ARE WALKING IN, NOT EVEN GOING THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS TO APPLY WHILE TEXANS ARE GOING HOMELESS.

PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS A BACKGROUND CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO FELONIES AND TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE LEGALLY HERE.

WHEN THEY DON'T GO THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS TO APPLY, WE DON'T KNOW WHO OUR NEIGHBORS ARE.

THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF CRIME ON TOP OF THE FAIR HOUSING STUFF.

[00:45:01]

ONE APARTMENT IN PARTICULAR HAD MANY COMPLAINTS THAT PEOPLE FROM INDIA WERE ROTATING THROUGH IT LIKE IT WAS A HOTEL ROOM.

ONCE THE APARTMENT WAS BACK IN OUR HANDS, I HAD TO DO A MOVE OUT INSPECTION AND I FOUND THIS.

IT HAS A NAME, A PASSPORT NUMBER AND AN ADDRESS.

YOU CAN FORGE DOCUMENTS SUCH AS VISAS WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S PASSPORT NUMBER.

THIS INFORMATION WAS ON DISPLAY FOR ANYBODY COMING IN TO USE FOR WHATEVER REASON.

I'VE ALSO WITNESSED FAKE TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES HIRING ENTRY LEVEL H-1BS AND PAYING FOR TEN APARTMENTS AT A TIME, WHILE ALSO SUPPLYING THEM WITH ALL OF THEIR GROCERIES THAT THEY NEED.

I HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IN FIVE MINUTES.

I HAVE WITNESSED AMERICANS BEING LAID OFF IN FRISCO BECAUSE THEIR TEAM WENT TO INDIAN WORKERS, SO THEY HAD TO MOVE BACK TO THE STATE THAT THEY CAME FROM.

THE SAME SCAMMERS IN THE APARTMENTS ARE THE ONES MOVING ON TO BUY THE HOUSES.

THE GROVE IN FRISCO BOOSTS THIS REALTOR NAMED ROM ON THEIR WEBSITE AS BEING AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THEIR TEAM BECAUSE 75% PROBABLY MORE OF HIS CLIENT BASE IS SOUTH ASIANS BOOSTING REAL ESTATE AGENT BECAUSE HE CAN BRING YOU A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF A CERTAIN NATIONALITY OF BUYERS, GOES DIRECTLY AGAINST RULE NUMBER 531.19 DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES.

NO LICENSE HOLDER SHALL MAKE A DISCLOSURE OF THE OWNER OR POTENTIAL PURCHASER BASED ON RACE, COLOR, RELIGION OR SEX OR NATIONAL ORIGIN THAT IS GOING ON ALL OVER INDIAN FACEBOOK GROUPS AND AN ONGOING BASIS.

I HAD A LOCAL DOCTOR IN FRISCO ON A FRISCO FORUM TELL ME THAT A LOT OF HIS HIGH INCOME EARNING CLIENTELE ARE ALSO RECEIVING FULL SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY.

H-1B HOLDERS FOUND A WAY TO GET FHA GOVERNMENT BACKED LOANS.

AND LET'S NOT TOUCH ON THE FACT THAT INDIA RECENTLY DISCOVERED THOUSANDS OF FAKE MEDICAL DEGREES AND CERTIFICATIONS USED TO GET JOBS IN MEDICINE, NURSING AND ENGINEERING. THE LIES, SCAM AND CORRUPTION JUST KEEPS COMING TO LIGHT.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE INDIAN COMMUNITY IS COMING HERE, LIVING ABOVE THE RULES, TAKING JOBS AND NOT ASSIMILATING.

SO SOMEBODY LIKE ME WHO SEES THE SCAMS AND THE LIES AND ABSOLUTELY TRASH, HOW ABSOLUTELY TRASHED THESE APARTMENT COMMUNITIES ARE BECOMING, ISN'T IMPRESSED THAT THEY CAN BUY A MASSIVE HOUSE BECAUSE, LIKE THE APARTMENTS, THE HOUSES WILL EVENTUALLY BE TRASHED AS WELL.

ONCE FRISCO BECAME MORE DEVELOPED AFTER THE MALL OPENED BACK IN THE 90S, IT WAS ALWAYS AN AFFLUENT AREA WITH HIGH INCOME EARNERS.

WE ALREADY HAD DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND WHATNOT.

SO WHEN WE GET TOLD THAT THESE ARE OUR DOCTORS AND OUR ENGINEERS, IT'S INSULTING TO SOMEBODY LIKE ME WHO HAS HAD TO HAND AN ENGINEER OR A PROJECT MANAGER A TISSUE AFTER EVICTION COURT BECAUSE SOMEBODY FROM INDIA CAME IN AND TOOK THEIR JOB.

IT'S SAD TO SEE THE CITY OF FRISCO USED TO BE BEAUTIFUL FARMLAND AND FRESH AIR, AND NOW IT'S NOTHING BUT STUDENT DRIVING STICKERS.

I HAD I HAD A MUSLIM MAN SPIT IN MY FACE WHEN I WAS WALKING TO WORK IN FRISCO.

AND LET ME TELL YOU GUYS, HE. HE YELLED RACIAL SLURS IN MY EAR.

AND I WILL SAY THIS IT'S RUDE TO COME INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S COUNTRY AND TELL THEM HOW TO LIVE.

THIS IS AMERICA, WOMEN HAVE RIGHTS AND WE ARE DONE SITTING BACK AND BEING QUIET ABOUT THIS.

I HOPE MORE PEOPLE START SPEAKING UP. SAVE OUR AMERICAN DAUGHTERS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

ALSO, IF KNOWING THAT AMERICAN WORKERS ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS AND BEING DISPLACED AT THE HANDS OF FOREIGN WORKERS DOESN'T BOTHER YOU, YOU SHOULDN'T HOLD ANY POLITICAL OFFICE IN THIS COUNTRY.

THE EDUCATION, SAFETY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH OF TEXANS SHOULD BE PRIORITY NUMBER ONE.

SO WE NEED TO STOP PANDERING TO FOREIGN WORKERS AND START PUTTING TEXANS FIRST.

THANK YOU [APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT, IAN JYOTI. NEXT WE HAVE PAUL JESSON.

MR. MAYOR, ESTEEMED COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING FEW WEEKS HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, AND I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO VALUE TRANSPARENCY IN OUR POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS, SPECIFICALLY OUR LOCAL INSTITUTIONS, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING.

DIALOG HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN THE BEST PATH TO CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

I'M A JOURNALIST FOR A CHRISTIAN NEWS OUTLET, AND EARLIER THIS MONTH, WE COVERED A DESPICABLE ATTACK THAT OCCURRED IN JANUARY IN NEW DELHI, IN WHICH A HINDU NATIONALIST MOB SUBJECTED A CHRISTIAN PASTOR TO DEHUMANIZING BRUTALITY, DAMAGING HIS HEARING AS THEY TRIED TO FORCE HIM TO WORSHIP A HINDU DEITY.

THEY STRUNG SANDALS AROUND HIS NECK, MADE HIM WALK ON THORNS, ASSAULTED HIM, TIED HIM TO A HINDU TEMPLE, FORCED HIM TO CHANT HINDU SLOGANS, AND MADE HIM DRINK WATER MIXED WITH COW DUNG.

SADLY, SUCH CASES OF RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION AND DISCRIMINATION ARE NOT INFREQUENT.

THE EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP OF INDIA AND UNITED CHRISTIAN FORUM REPORTED AS MANY AS 900 INCIDENTS AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN 2025, INCLUDING DISRUPTIONS, ASSAULTS, THREATS, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND CHURCH ATTACKS.

THIS IS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN INDIA. AND YET, AT OUR LAST MEETING, COUNCILMAN THAKUR, AN INDIAN BY BIRTH, SOUGHT TO LECTURE TEXANS ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN.

IN THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MR. THAKUR TOLD THE PEOPLE OF FRISCO THAT, QUOTE, AMERICA IS AN IDEA THAT LIVES IN THE HEARTS OF ALL OF US.

MR. THAKUR HAS ALSO SHOWN SUPPORT FOR THE GLOBAL HINDU HERITAGE FOUNDATION, A HINDU SUPREMACIST GROUP BASED RIGHT HERE IN FRISCO.

FOUNDED IN 2006, LED BY FRISCO RESIDENT PRAKASH VELAGAPUDI, WHO ALSO HELPED BUILD FRISCO'S SIDDHA

[00:50:09]

SIDDHI HANUMAN TEMPLE. EXCUSE ME GHHF ADVOCATES AN IDEOLOGY KNOWN AS HINDUTVA.

ACCORDING TO THEIR WEBSITE OR EXTREMIST HINDU SUPREMACISM, WHICH HOLDS THAT INDIA BELONGS SOLELY TO HINDUS TO THE EXCLUSION OF AN ESTIMATED 220 MILLION INDIAN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS. BUT AMERICA IS JUST AN IDEA.

ON NOVEMBER 27TH, 2022, JUST OUTSIDE THESE DOORS.

OH EXCUSE ME. ON NOVEMBER 27TH, 2022, GHHF HELD A FUNDRAISER IN FRISCO FOR FORCED RELIGIOUS CONVERSIONS OF CHRISTIANS AND DEMOLISHING CHURCHES IN TIRUPATI, DRAWING CONDEMNATION FROM INDIAN, CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM GROUPS ALIKE.

AN INVITATION TO THAT EVENT, WHICH INCLUDED THE GHHF LOGO AND CONTACT INFO FOR ITS CHAIRMAN, DOCTOR VELAGAPUDI, STATED THAT THE EVENT'S AGENDA INCLUDED [INAUDIBLE], WHICH IS THE FORCED RELIGIOUS CONVERSION OF INDIAN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS TO HINDUISM AND SIKHISM. AND IT'S NOT JUST CHRISTIANS WHO ARE MAKING THESE CLAIMS, ACCORDING TO THE INDIAN AMERICAN MUSLIM COUNCIL.

GHHF ALSO HAS REPEATEDLY CLAIMED THAT CHRISTIANS ARE A DANGER TO HINDUS, AND THAT CONVERTING CHRISTIANS CHRISTIANS TO HINDUISM IS THE QUOTE WRITING OF A WRONG.

AT A GHHF EVENT IN NOVEMBER 2025, MR. THAKUR STOOD ALONGSIDE VELAGAPUDI AND FRISCO ISD BOARD MEMBER SURESH MANDUVA AT THE ANNUAL APPRECIATION DINNER AT RADHA KRISHNA HINDU TEMPLE IN ALLEN ON OR AROUND NOVEMBER 8TH, 2025. APPEARING ON STAGE WITH THE WORDS THE SPIRIT OF SANATANA DHARMA, WHICH IS A PHRASE DEFINED AS, QUOTE, ABSOLUTE SET OF DUTIES OR RELIGIOUSLY ORDAINED PRACTICES INCUMBENT UPON ALL HINDUS, REGARDLESS OF CLASS, CASTE OR SECT. BUT AMERICA IS JUST AN IDEA.

THE HANUMAN TEMPLE IN FRISCO, BY THE WAY, IS NAMED AFTER THE SAME HINDU DEITY WHICH NOW HAS A 90 FOOT STATUE, OR WHAT CHRISTIANS WOULD CALL AN IDOL IN SUGAR LAND, TEXAS, THE THIRD TALLEST STATUE IN THE UNITED STATES.

THIS IS NO INSIGNIFICANT DEITY. IT IS A SYMBOL OF HINDUISM ITSELF.

OF COURSE, HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOU ARE FREE TO PEACEFULLY PRACTICE OR NOT PRACTICE WHATEVER RELIGION YOU CHOOSE.

I'M LESS INTERESTED IN MR. THAKUR'S RELIGIOUS PRACTICES AS I AM HIS CHOICE OF COMPANY.

COUNCILMAN THAKUR, MR. MAYOR, ESTEEMED COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AMERICA IS NOT AN IDEA. I'VE TRAVELED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND WHEREVER I VISITED.

THE PEOPLE OF THESE FOREIGN LANDS DIDN'T STARE AND POINT AT ME AND SAY, LOOK, THERE GOES AN IDEA.

THEY SAID, LOOK, THERE GOES AN AMERICAN, AND I'M PROUD OF THAT.

WE ARE A PEOPLE, NOT AN IDEA. WE ARE A NATION, NOT AN ECONOMIC ZONE.

ANY SUCCESS AND GOOD FORTUNE YOU MAY HAVE FOUND IN YOUR TIME HERE AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, IS BECAUSE OF THE SINGULAR GREATNESS AND LEGACY OF THE AMERICAN NATION, NOT IN SPITE OF IT. AND IT'S TIME THAT FRISCO STARTS TO RECOGNIZE THAT FACT.

IN FACT, IT IS THE STATUS OF BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

THAT IS THE IDEA. IT IS AN IDEA, NAMELY NATURALIZATION, WHICH MANY OF US ARE NOW FORCED TO RETHINK IN THE IN THE FACE OF A WAVE OF HISTORICAL REVISIONISM BY THOSE WE'VE INVITED TO LIVE IN OUR HOMES.

THANK YOU [APPLAUSE] NEXT WE HAVE PAUL JESSON, AND THEN AFTER THAT WE'LL HAVE NOAH WEISS.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MEN AND WOMEN.

AND MY NAME IS PAUL JESSON, LIVE IN FRISCO, 5857 LEGACY DRIVE.

AND I'M GLAD I SIT WHERE I SIT AND DON'T SIT WHERE YOU SIT.

AND I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT ONE OF MY COMMENTS THIS EVENING ARE MORE AS THE ROGER BRODERICK PUT IT, MORE REASONABLE THAN NONSENSE. SO WE'LL SEE. HAVE A QUOTE THAT I THINK IS VERY USEFUL FOR ALL OF US. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HEARING ABOUT THE RECOUNT AND SOME OTHER THINGS GOING ON IN TERMS OF HOW WE DISCUSS THINGS HERE, BECAUSE WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL BACKGROUND IN HISTORY OF HOW WE DO THINGS IN AMERICA.

AND IT'S BY A GUY WHO WAS CALLED THE PRINCE OF PREACHERS.

HIS NAME WAS CHARLES SPURGEON FROM ENGLAND, AND HE WAS ONE OF THE LEADING VOICES THAT ENDED SLAVERY IN ENGLAND WHO PRECEDED US.

SO WE APPRECIATE HIS INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD. BUT HE HAD THIS COMMENT TO MAKE.

[00:55:02]

AND IT'S AND I USE THE COMMENT BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING TOLD, HEY PAUL, STOP IT.

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT RELIGION AND WE DON'T TALK ABOUT POLITICS.

SO WHAT SPURGEON SAID IS, ONLY FOOLS SAY WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT POLITICS AND RELIGION. WHY? BECAUSE THEN WE DON'T. THEN THE THIEVES KEEP THEIR POWER AND THE FALSE TEACHERS KEEP PREACHING. I'M NOT CALLING YOU FOOLS, THOUGH.

WELL, UNLESS IT'S FITS, I DON'T KNOW. BUT THAT'S BASIC PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY, IS WE TALK ABOUT THINGS AND RELIGION, AND POLITICS IS PART OF WHAT WE TALK ABOUT. BUT THE WAY WE LOOKED AT POLITICS AND RELIGION BACK IN THE EARLY PART OF THIS COUNTRY IS DIFFERENT THAN IT IS NOW.

BACK WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, AND I ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE I GREW UP IN AMERICA, WHICH YOU WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE IN MY MIND, A LOT OF PEOPLE NOW ARE NOT GROWING UP IN THE AMERICA I GREW UP IN.

AND I THINK I SAID THIS ONCE BEFORE, MY KID SAYS, DAD, WHEN THEY'RE THIS YOUNG, WHY ARE YOU SO INVOLVED IN POLITICS? I SAYS, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU SPITTING ON MY GRAVE.

AND WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME THINGS HAPPENING TO THIS CITY THAT ARE NOT PLEASANT IF WE DON'T WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE COUNTRY.

SO THE TWO THINGS THAT I WANT TO PIECE TOGETHER HERE.

AND I ONLY GOT FIVE MINUTES, SO I HAVE TO GET MOVING HERE.

THE RAIL DISTRICT, THE BUSINESSES THAT DID NOTHING TO SEE THEIR BUSINESSES COLLAPSE, DID NOTHING TO HAVE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS EXCEPT FOR THE DECISION THAT WAS MADE IN SUCH A WAY THAT, OOPS, THEY NEED THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ENOUGH COMPENSATION.

THEY REALLY NEED ABOUT 8 OR $9 MILLION INSTEAD OF A COUPLE MILLION THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED.

AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE YOU TO CONTINUE TO CONSIDER THAT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

AND THAT'S WHY I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE MADE OTHERWISE.

PEOPLE WHO KEEP IN POWER BECOME THIEVES. NOT THERE YET, BUT IF WE DON'T COMPENSATE THEM CORRECTLY, IT COULD HAPPEN. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE WAS THE ELECTION TALKING ABOUT THE POLITICS PART.

WOW. MARK WAS AHEAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNTIL THE VERY, VERY END.

OOH, LOOK AT THESE NICE VOTES AT THE END. WHAT'S HAPPENING? OH, AND THEY'RE ALL FROM PRETTY MUCH FOR ANNA.

AND WOW THAT'S PRETTY COOL. EXCEPT WAS THERE A PRO QUO? AY AY AY AY. WHAT'S THE PRO? SOMEBODY KNOWS WHAT IT IS.

QUID PRO QUO. I'LL DO THIS IF YOU'LL DO THAT.

AND WE KNOW THAT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY, AT LEAST THE LEADERSHIP, WANTS TO BUILD THIS NICE, BIG, FANCY ISLAMIC THING OVER IN EAST FRISCO.

AND THEY'RE ALREADY THREATENING RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA TO MOVE SO THEY CAN HAVE THE HOUSES AND HAVE THAT AREA BECOME WHAT THEY WANT IT TO BE.

AND THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO THINGS IN AMERICA. AND SO I WAS GLAD THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE A RECOUNT, BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY LOOKS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER WHAT THE OTHER PART WAS.

WHOEVER WAS BEHIND IT GOT THE ELECTION, BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY THEY WERE GOING TO LET MARK WIN.

AND THEN THEY GET THEIR STUFF FOR THEIR MOSQUE.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY DEALS WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT KIND OF THING IS HAPPENING.

IT'S OPENING AS THEY DO THEIR RECOUNT. WE LOOK AT THAT KIND OF A THING AND NOT LET THAT PROCEED IN FRISCO.

SO WE WANT TO TALK POLITICS AND WE WANT TO TALK RELIGION.

POLITICS. AND I THINK ALL OF US ARE LOOKING AROUND, ESPECIALLY WHAT'S GOING ON IN WASHINGTON.

PLENTY OF THIEVING GOING ON. WE KNOW WHAT THAT KIND OF THING HERE.

AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT RELIGION. OTHERWISE WE'RE FACING WHAT'S GOING ON IN.

THANK YOU SIR. NEW MUSLIM CITIES IN AMERICA MOVING TOWARD FRISCO.

YEAH. THANK YOU. WITH THEIR INTOLERANCE. [APPLAUSE] AND BUT BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I WANT TO KIND OF GIVE A FACT CHECK ON ONE OF THOSE COMMENTS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULDN'T ALWAYS BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. AND SO THE ZONING FOR THE MOSQUE WAS APPROVED IN WHAT, 2002? REALLY, THERE'S NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE MOSQUE AND AN ELECTION THAT WAS DEBUNKED. AND ESSENTIALLY, YES, I MEAN A MOSQUE WAS TREATED LIKE ANY OTHER CHURCH THERE ARE PERMITTED BY RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE RLUIFA WHICH IS RELIGIOUS LAND USE INFORMATION FREEDOM ACT, THAT WE CAN'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY OF THE CHURCHES.

WE HAVE TO TREAT THEM EQUALLY AS ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PROPERTY.

SO AND WE FOLLOW THAT LAW. BUT THAT ZONING HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE EARLY 2000.

[01:00:04]

AND SO BY THE TIME IT COMES THROUGH NOW, IT'S JUST AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS THAT REALLY THE COUNCIL AND EVEN PLANNING AND ZONING REALLY HAS NO INPUT OVER.

SO THAT WAS JUST KIND OF A FALSE STORY THAT WAS MADE UP.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT. I'D ALSO LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE ELECTION INTEGRITY COMMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR CITY STAFF AND WHO WE OUTSOURCE OUR ELECTIONS TO OUR PROFESSIONAL BEYOND [INAUDIBLE] AND ANDERSON WON THE ELECTION BECAUSE SHE EARNED IT QUITE SIMPLY.

AND HER ELECTION WAS UNIQUE BECAUSE YOU RARELY SEE THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES DURING EARLY VOTING AS YOU DO ON ELECTION DAY.

THERE WERE 4000 VOTES DURING EARLY VOTING, 4000 VOTES ON ELECTION DAY.

AND JUST THOSE THAT FOLLOW POLITICS. USUALLY ONE SIDE COMES OUT DURING EARLY VOTING AND ONE SIDE COMES OUT ON ELECTION DAY.

AND SO THOSE THOSE OUTCOMES WERE NOT SURPRISING FOR THOSE THAT FOLLOWED THEM VERY CLOSELY.

SO THANK YOU. NOAH, PLEASE GO AHEAD. OF COURSE, HI CITY COUNCIL.

AFTER NOAH WE HAVE SCOTT CHENEY. HI, CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS NOAH WEISS. I LIVE AT 7604 OAK STREET.

SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE MIC. I'VE SPOKEN AT SEVERAL CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS BEFORE. USUALLY I'M TALKING ABOUT SIDEWALKS OR PUBLIC TRANSIT.

BUT AFTER THE COMMENTS MADE AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING, AND APPARENTLY TONIGHT, I FIGURED THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD WAIT A COUPLE WEEKS AND THAT RESPONDING TO THE RACISM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO MY CITY IS INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT.

THE CITIZENS INPUT LAST PREVIOUS MEETING BEGAN WITH AN ELDERLY MAN WHO WAS PROUDLY WAVING A TRADER'S FLAG.

JENNA. THE GENTLEMAN SPEWED HATEFUL NONSENSE LIKE CLAIMING THAT IMMIGRANTS ARE TEARING AMERICA DOWN PLANK BY PLANK, OR THAT 20 MILLION PEOPLE WALKED ACROSS THE BORDER. HE RANTED AND RAVED ABOUT HOW THIS IS AN INSURRECTION AND AN OVERTHROW OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, WITH THE APPARENT IRONY OF THE REBEL FLAG ON HIS WALKER BEING LOST UPON HIM.

NEXT WE HAD A MAN IN A TIE COME AND SPEW HIS RACIST RHETORIC.

HE WAS QUOTING NIETZSCHE WHILE TRYING HIS HARDEST NOT TO REFER TO HIMSELF AS AN UBERMENSCH. HE LAMENTED THAT HE WAS BEING LABELED A BIGOT FOR HIS COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW ROADS WERE CLOGGED, SCHOOLS WERE OVERCROWDED, AND PUBLIC SPACE WAS, QUOTE, UNFAMILIAR. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE UBERMENSCH LEVEL INTELLIGENCE HE POSSESSED, HE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT HE WAS NOT BEING CALLED A BIGOT FOR HIS COMPLAINTS, BUT RATHER BECAUSE HE PLACED BLAME SOLELY ON IMMIGRANTS.

HE FOLLOWED THE SAME GAME PLAN THAT MOST RACES DO. THEY ATTEMPT TO HIDE THEIR RACISM WITH THINLY VEILED ARGUMENTS AND DOG WHISTLES. THEY MAKE DEMONSTRABLY FALSE CLAIMS AND PARROT IDEOLOGIES TO CREATE A SOCIAL WAR BETWEEN US AND THEM.

THEY CONCOCT COMICAL COMICAL PHRASES SUCH AS GENERATIONAL AMERICAN IN AN ATTEMPT TO LEGITIMIZE THEIR RIGHT TO BE RACIST TOWARDS PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THING THAT THEIR FAMILY WAS DOING JUST A FEW GENERATIONS AGO. ANYONE CLAIMING AS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN DID, THAT UNQUALIFIED INDIAN AND MUSLIM WORKERS ARE SCAMMING AMERICANS OUT OF JOBS, STEALING TAX DOLLARS AND DESTROYING OUR NATION IN TEXAS QUOTE SHOULD BE LAUGHED AT FOR BEING BOTH A RACIST AND A LIAR.

THE FUNNIEST PART ABOUT THAT GENTLEMAN'S STATEMENT WAS THAT HE WASN'T EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO BE A RACIST. HE'S SEEMINGLY UNAWARE THAT MUSLIMS IS A RELIGIOUS CATEGORY AND INDIAN IS A NATIONALITY. IN FACT, AS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN MENTIONED HERE, INDIA HAS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION MUSLIMS LIVING THERE.

HE EVEN TRIED USING A TACTIC OF REFERRING TO THE IMMIGRANTS AS POLISH OR GERMAN BEFORE THE GOTCHA REVEAL THAT EVERYTHING HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS ACTUALLY INDIANS AND MUSLIMS. HE WENT SO FAR AS TO SAY, IF THESE WERE TRULY HIGH SKILLED GERMANS OR POLES, WE'D WELCOME THE NET POSITIVES. HE SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD.

HE THEN BLATANTLY LIED ABOUT THE SKILLS OF IMMIGRANTS SO THAT HE COULD BELIEVE HIS FALSE TRUTH. IF PEOPLE WANT TO SCRUTINIZE THE VISA SYSTEM, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE DOING IT AT A LOCAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING, BUT IF THEY WANT TO SCRUTINIZE THE VISA SYSTEM OR ANALYZE CAMPAIGN FINANCING, THAT'S FINE. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE.

INSTEAD, THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO BLAME ALL OF SOCIETY'S WOES ON IMMIGRANTS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE'VE LET A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN FRISCO USE THIS PUBLIC FORUM AS A WAY TO SPEW FALSE, DEROGATORY, AND OUTRIGHT RACIST RHETORIC, THE MAYOR BEGAN THE CITIZENS INPUT AT THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING, WITH A STATEMENT THAT SPEAKERS WERE EXPECTED TO SPEAK KINDLY AND PROFESSIONALLY, AND INSTEAD WE GOT A ROWDY GROUP OF RACISTS SPORTING A REBEL FLAG WHO LABELED IMMIGRANTS AS INVADERS AND THIEVES. I'VE KNOWN SO MANY PEOPLE HERE IN MY TIME IN FRISCO 16 YEARS THAT ARE EITHER FIRST, SECOND, OR THIRD GENERATION IMMIGRANTS. MY NEIGHBORS, MY CLASSMATES AT GRIFFIN AND WAKELAND, MY COWORKERS AND MY FRIENDS. BUT I'M BEGGING YOU ALL, PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THE RACISTS.

DON'T LISTEN TO THE GUY WITH THE CONFEDERATE FLAG. DON'T LISTEN TO THE GUY WHO'S QUOTING NIETZSCHE AND THINKS HIMSELF AN UBERMENSCH. DON'T LISTEN TO THE GUY WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSLIMS AS A RELIGIOUS GROUPS OR INDIANS AS NATIONALITY.

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, THAT REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU'RE FROM OR WHAT YOUR SKIN COLOR IS, AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE THAT CORE TENET OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR YOURSELF, THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT AND THE COMMUNITY YOU LIVE IN, THAT YOU BELONG HERE. SO TO ALL THE SOUTH ASIANS AND MIDDLE EASTERNERS THAT CALL FOR US, GO HOME. I WANT TO SAY YOU ALL ARE WELCOME HERE.

SO. NAMASTE. NAMASKARAM. ASSALAMU ALAIKUM. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYONE OUT.

PEACE BE WITH YOU. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, COUNCIL.

AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE, IMMIGRANTS OR OTHERWISE, THAT MAKE FRISCO A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE. THANK YOU [APPLAUSE].

OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE SCOTT CHENEY. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE HAVE PATEEK PARIM.

[01:05:04]

HELLO, EVERYBODY. SO WE DEFINITELY HAVE A DIFFERENT SPELLING OF OUR LAST NAME.

NO RELATION, AS FAR AS I KNOW [LAUGHS]. THAT'S THE FIRST THING I SAID.

SO I DO WANT TO I DO WANT TO POINT SOMETHING OUT ON THE PERMITS.

IT DOES SEEM THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF PERMITS THAT WERE DENIED IN 2023, 2024 AND 2025 THAT YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT STARTED IN 2002, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS THEN.

BUT MORE RECENTLY, A LOT OF THEM WERE DENIED.

SO AND I AM HERE TO SPEAK OF JUST WHAT I SEE IN FRISCO AS A TEN YEAR RESIDENT.

BUT JUST BEFORE I EVEN START THERE, I'M, I'M POSITIVE THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS ROOM THAT CAN PROUDLY SAY I AM A SEVENTH GENERATION TEXAN.

MY ANCESTORS MOVED TO GONZALES, TEXAS IN 1838 DURING THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS.

TEXAS HAS ALWAYS WELCOMED IMMIGRANTS OVER THE CENTURIES, SUCH AS GERMANS, CZECHS, POLISH AND HISPANICS.

BUT TEXANS HAVE ALWAYS HAD COMMON GROUND WITH THESE GROUPS LIKE RELIGION AND CULTURE.

HOWEVER, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CULTURAL SIMILARITIES AND RELIGIOUS SIMILARITIES WITH INDIANS AND MUSLIMS. SO WHY ARE WE HERE? WHY AM I HERE? I AM HERE TO SPEAK TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE MASS MIGRATION.

I AM HERE TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER. AND THE POSSIBLE CORRUPTION IN COLLIN COUNTY AND THE CITY OF FRISCO. I AM NOT HERE TO POINT FINGERS AT ANY COMMUNITY.

ONLY ALLEGED CORRUPTION FROM OUR ELECTED LEADERS TO THE INDIAN COMMUNITY.

YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THIS. YOU HAVE HELPED THE MAYOR, POSSIBLY PROBABLY THE RICHEST MAN IN FRISCO, GET RICHER. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP. UNDER THIS MAYOR, TEXANS HAVE BECOME SECOND CLASS CITIZENS BASED ON HIS MAYORAL POLICIES THAT PUT MUSLIM FIRST GENERATION IMMIGRANTS OVER LONG STANDING TEXANS.

YOU SAY YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HB-1 VISAS MAYOR, WHICH IS THE ONLY TRUTH.

I'VE REALLY HEARD YOU SPEAK IN THIS ROOM. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICIES HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE MASS MIGRATION TO FRISCO, TEXAS. YOU'VE TURNED THIS PLACE, THIS ONCE GREAT PLACE, INTO SOMETHING TEXAS NOW HATES.

I'VE SEEN MORE HOMELESS AND DRIFTERS IN THE RECENT YEARS THAN EVER BEFORE.

IT WAS YOUR OPEN DOOR POLICIES THAT LED THESE CORPORATIONS WHO ABUSED THE VISA PROGRAM, TO MOVE HERE, JUST TO EXPAND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, PERHAPS. NO ONE ASKED TO LIVE IN THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN AMERICA, BECAUSE WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN. BUT YOU'LL PROBABLY BE LONG GONE BY THEN.

MAYOR, YOU AND YOUR FACTION ARE THE ONLY ONES TRULY BENEFITING.

IN FACT, I WONDER IF YOU WOULD HAVE IMPLEMENTED THE SAME POLICIES IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A PERSONAL FINANCIAL GAIN THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTED YOUR BUSINESS.

HOW MANY HOMES DO YOU HAVE TO SELL IN FRISCO TO HAVE 2 TO $3 BILLION IN REVENUE WITH YOUR COMPANY? IS THAT 80-90% OF THE MARKET OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET? THAT'S CALLED A MONOPOLY. SO WHY DOES THE SITTING MAYOR OF A THE CITY MAYOR HAVE A MONOPOLY ON REAL ESTATE IN THIS CITY? HE DICTATES GOVERNMENT POLICY. WE HAVE ALL BEEN LIED TO BY DEMOCRATS OVER THE DECADES.

THERE WAS NEVER A POLITICAL GREAT SWITCH. IN THE 60S DEMOCRATS JUST GOT BETTER AT LYING AND SHAPING THE NARRATIVE OVER THE DECADES TO SIMPLY BY SIMPLY USING REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY. CALLING SOMEONE A RACIST OR SOME KIND OF PHOBIC WHEN THEY'RE THEY'RE TRUE RACISTS AT HEART.

AND WE SEE THAT WITH THIS COUNCIL TODAY, THEY HAVE USED THE SAME EXHAUSTED LIBERAL PLAYBOOK, USE ANOTHER MINORITY GROUP TO BENEFIT FROM FINANCIALLY WHILE DISPLACING THEIR FELLOW WHITE MEN, ALL FOR PROFIT. I WOULD NEVER QUOTE A MAN SUCH AS MALCOLM X, AS OUR POLITICAL VIEWS DO NOT ALIGN.

HOWEVER, HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING THE WHITE LIBERAL IS THE WORST THING FOR AMERICA AND THE BLACK MAN.

THEY USE ANY GROUP THEY CAN, JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH BLACKS, HISPANICS, JEWS, THE GAY COMMUNITY EXPLOITING VULNERABLE CHILDREN.

AND NOW THEY HAVE NO ONE ELSE THEY TURN TO THE INDIAN AND MUSLIM COMMUNITIES TO STAY IN POWER.

THEY USE THEM, THEN THROW THEM TO THE SIDE. YET GREEDY LIBERALS CONTROL ALL THESE GROUPS SIMPLY BY OFFERING QUID PRO QUO BACKROOM DEALS AND OFFERING INCENTIVES AT THE TAXPAYER EXPENSE.

OUR MAYOR HAS USED THE INDIAN AND MUSLIM COMMUNITIES TO PERSONALLY ENRICH HIMSELF.

THE MAYOR'S BUSINESS PLAN IS SIMPLE. OPEN A REAL ESTATE COMPANY, GET ELECTED INTO LOCAL GOVERNMENT WITH HELP FROM THE PREVIOUS MAYOR BY PUTTING UP ADVERTISING AND BILLBOARDS IN INDIA SAYING MOVED TO FRISCO, TEXAS.

BY THE WAY. SORRY. I LOVE HOW YOU TOUT YOUR SUCCESS IN THE MONTHLY LOCAL FRISCO PAPER.

[01:10:08]

IS IT 2 OR $3 BILLION IN REVENUE? MAYOR. THANK YOU.

TIME'S UP.

[APPLAUSE] SIR, I THINK YOU WROTE YOUR ADDRESS INCORRECTLY AS WELL. IF YOU WANT TO COME, CORRECT IT. NEXT WE HAVE PATEEK PARIM, AND THEN NEXT WE'LL HAVE RAYMOND O'HERRON. I'M SORRY I CANNOT READ YOUR LAST NAME, BUT I THINK IT'S O'HERRON.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS PRATEEK PARAM, AND I'M A SOPHOMORE HERE AT HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL IN FRISCO.

I WAS BORN IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND TODAY FRISCO IS THE PLACE I PROUDLY CALL HOME.

AND BEFORE I START, FIRST I WANT TO CONGRATULATE OUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBER, MRS. ANN ANDERSON. AND I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST AS YOU BEGIN YOUR SERVICE.

I'M STANDING HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO GROW UP IN A FRISCO THAT DOESN'T FLINCH WHEN THINGS GET HARD.

A FRISCO THAT DOESN'T POINT FINGERS WHEN IT FEELS AFRAID, AND A FRISCO THAT REMEMBERS WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE STAND FOR.

I WATCHED THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WITH MY PARENTS.

ON ONE SIDE, A FEW PEOPLE, MANY FROM OUTSIDE OF FRISCO, RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT JOB LOSSES, CULTURAL DISRUPTIONS, AND BROADER ISSUES AROUND ASSIMILATION AND INTEGRATION.

ON THE OTHER SIDE, PEOPLE QUESTIONED THE SPREAD OF HATEFUL MESSAGES, FEAR BASED NARRATIVES, AND STEREOTYPING PROPAGANDA. I'D LIKE TO OFFER A PERSPECTIVE THAT FOCUSES ON SOLUTIONS RATHER THAN DIVISION.

FIRST OF ALL, EMPLOYMENT AND VISA RELATED CONCERNS.

THESE ARE CHALLENGES THAT AFFECT PEOPLE DEEPLY EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THESE ISSUES DESERVE ATTENTION, BUT THEY FALL OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WHAT THIS CITY COUNCIL CAN DIRECTLY CONTROL.

MY HUMBLE REQUEST IS THAT WE FOCUS OUR CITY'S TIME, RESOURCES, LOCAL POLICY EFFORTS ON ISSUES THAT THE CITY CAN ACTUALLY INFLUENCE AT THE CITY LEVEL. NUMBER TWO, FRAUD CONCERNS.

IF SOMEONE COMMITS FRAUD, THE PROPER AUTHORITIES SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND TAKE ACTION.

BUT THE ACTIONS OF FEW INDIVIDUALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO STEREOTYPE AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AS EVERY COMMUNITY HAS SOME BAD APPLES INSIDE OF THEM.

SHARING SELECTIVE CLIPS, INCLUDING PORTIONS OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO PUSH A NARRATIVE ONLY HARMS FRISCO.

IT DIVIDES US. INSTEAD OF HELPING US SOLVE PROBLEMS. WHEN FEAR SPREADS, IT DOESN'T JUST STAY ONLINE.

IT SHOWS UP IN OUR SCHOOLS, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND OUR FRIENDSHIP.

NUMBER THREE COMMUNITY INTEGRATION. AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID BEFORE, WE NEED TO TALK TO EACH OTHER AND INTEGRATE MORE ACTIVELY.

THE CITY HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB ORGANIZING INCLUSIVE EVENTS LIKE THE FRISCO FESTIVAL OF COLORS AND MANY OTHERS.

I ENCOURAGE ALL RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE EVENTS.

THEY HELP US UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER AND STRENGTHEN THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE ARE MOVING HERE FOR THE SAME REASONS MANY OF US DID.

OPPORTUNITY, SAFETY AND A BETTER LIFE. THAT'S NOT A THREAT.

THAT'S THE AMERICAN STORY. THAT'S THE AMERICAN DREAM.

I'M PROUD TO CALL FRISCO HOME. AND LET'S MAKE SURE EVERY FAMILY WHO LIVES HERE CAN FEEL THAT VERY SAME PRIDE.

THANK YOU [APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT. RAYMOND O'HERRON.

AND THEN WE HAVE JUDY MORRISON.

HELLO, THIS IS RAYMOND O'HAGEN. I LIVE AT SIX 604 WATERBURY DRIVE IN FRISCO.

COULD I HAVE THAT YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S NAME? THAT'S A NAME.

JUST FOR A MINUTE. PATEEK PARIM. WELL DONE MATE.

[APPLAUSE] WELL DONE. I AM A PROUD FRISCONIAN.

I'M ONLY BEING. I'M ONLY HERE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO FIX FRISCO.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE WHO'VE BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS IN FRISCO? I'M HERE TONIGHT FOR YOU. OKAY. I GREW UP IN THE WORKING CLASS CITY OF LIVERPOOL WHERE TIMES WERE TOUGH.

[01:15:09]

I CAME TO NEW JERSEY IN 1984 AFTER A YEAR IN SAUDI ARABIA.

FOR 20 YEARS WORKED FOR THE TWO OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED COMPANIES IN THE WORLD, IN NEW JERSEY AND NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK, RETIRED AND CAME TO FRISCO TO BE WITH OUR DAUGHTER'S FAMILY SEVEN YEARS AGO.

ALL I WANTED WAS A HAPPY EARLY RETIREMENT AND TO ENSURE MY FAMILY ARE SAFE.

RETIREMENT ACHIEVED 20 YEARS AGO. NOT TOO BAD FOR SOMEONE WITH NO COLLEGE DEGREE.

FOR A FOR FAMILY SAFELY. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER AND THANKFUL FOR THE EFFORTS OF THE FRISCO POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS.

LET ME APOLOGIZE NOW BEFORE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE UPSET FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.

MY FIRST ISSUE IS THE MASSIVE RESTAURANT ON MAIN STREET AND ON MAIN INCLUDE AND THE SMELL OF CURRY THAT IS AFFECTING LIVES IN EXTREMELY NEAR NEIGHBORHOOD.

NOW, I'M NOT A RACIST ON THIS, ALL RIGHT. THAT RESTAURANT, ALL RIGHT, CAN HOLD 300 TO 400 PEOPLE, AND IT BACKS ON TO A COMMUNITY, RIGHT? I'VE WRITTEN FOUR COMPLAINTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

SMELL DOESN'T HAVE AN ORDINANCE CODE, WHICH IS CRAZY WHEN YOU SEE HOW CLOSE THE RESIDENTS ARE.

I WOULD SAY MY DAUGHTER LIVES ABOUT, I'D SAY ABOUT 50 YARDS AWAY AND ON A SUNDAY THE THE SMELL IS STRONG. ALL RIGHT. I SPOKE TO AN ANDERSON WHO I CAN'T THANK ENOUGH, WHO RECOMMENDED I SHOULD GO AND SPEAK TO THE OWNER.

I WENT LAST FRIDAY. NO CONTACT. NO CONTACT WITH HIM, LEFT MY CONTACT INFORMATION AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR A CALL.

THIS SUNDAY, THE SMELL WAS EXCEPTIONALLY BAD AND TO BE TRUTHFUL, RESIDENTS DO FEEL IT RIGHT ACROSS THE COMMUNITY IN THAT WHOLE COMMUNITY IN THERE IN CYPRESS CREEK. I WAS FORTUNATE I DM'ED AND ARRANGED A MEETING WITH SONIA SOWELL, WHO AGREED WITH ME THAT THERE ISN'T A CODE FOR SMELL, BUT MENTIONED THE COUNCIL COULD LOOK INTO A LARGER HVAC FACTOR FOR ALL LARGE RESTAURANTS.

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED THAT SHE DID HER HOMEWORK, AND I SHOULD SAY THAT THAT WHOLE AREA IS BOOMING AND IT'S JUST NOT THAT SIDE.

IT'S NOW THE OTHER SIDE. OKAY SO WHOEVER APPROVES RESTAURANTS, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT TO SEE HOW CLOSE IT IS. RIGHT? I'M NOT SAYING IT'S BAD. I'M. I LIVE BY A CURRY PLACE ON KOYCZAN COLLEGE.

NO SMELL THERE. ALL RIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU GO TO A PLACE WHICH IS 300 TO 400 PEOPLE, AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT, IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING RESTAURANT. ALL RIGHT.

BUT THERE'S A THERE'S THERE'S EXTREMES. AND WHEN IT COMES TO MY GRANDCHILDREN, THAT'S ENOUGH SAID.

MY SECOND ISSUE. I'M FULLY AWARE OF THE ISLAMIC INVASION I'VE SEEN IN THE UK, THE ISLAMIC INVASION.

AND THERE'S TWO AND THE TWO TIERED JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT EXISTS THERE.

OVER SEVEN CITIES NOW HAVE MUSLIM MAYORS. LONDON IS ONE OF THEM, AND IT DOESN'T LOOK OR SOUND BRITISH.

WE ALL SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN NEW YORK CITY AND THE FEAR FOR EVERYONE HERE.

I'D BE SURPRISED IF IT'S NOT. IS FRISCO BECOMING A DEARBORN? LET'S FACE IT, MUSLIMS ARE HERE TO STAY. GET OVER IT.

ALL RIGHT. THE MOSQUE ON LEBANON, LEBANON ROAD IS BEING BUILT.

BUT WHERE ARE THE GUIDELINES? HAVE YOU WRITTEN UP GUIDELINES FOR THIS? RIGHT. WHO? FROM THE CITY COUNCIL. WHO'S GOING TO WORK WITH STATE? THANK YOU. SIR, YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. OKAY.

YOU CAN FOLLOW UP AND SEND COUNCIL AN EMAIL WITH YOUR REMAINING REMARKS.

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU UP ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SMELL. THANK YOU. SIR. YOUR TIME IS UP. COME BACK TO ME, SIR.

JUDY MORRISON, AND THEN NEXT, WE'LL HAVE VINNY PATEL.

[01:20:02]

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. HI, ANGELIA.

INITIALLY I WASN'T GOING TO SPEAK, BUT MY ISSUE IS ABOUT TRAFFIC AND SPEEDERS.

LEBANON AND 423, THE NEW CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED AND EVERYONE IS LIKE MANIACS AS THEY DRIVE RIGHT ON, ON YOUR TAIL.

AND MOST OF YOU KNOW, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF MY HOA, AND WE HAVE CHILDREN THAT LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY ACROSS THE STREET.

WE'RE ON LEBANON, ONE IS ON THE NORTH SIDE AND ONE IS ON THE SOUTH.

THERE'S A LIGHT. THEY COME TO THE AMENITY CENTER TO PLAY IN THE PARK AREA.

WHEN I TELL YOU THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING DOWN THERE 60 AND 70 MILES AN HOUR, AS SOON AS THEY CLEAR 423 AND THEY DON'T SEE THE POLICE ANYMORE, THEY ARE JUST BEATING IT DOWN WEST AS FAST AS THEY CAN GO.

I CAN BARELY TURN INTO DEERWOOD LANE WHEN I'M TURNING INTO MY COMMUNITY, GOING WEST NORTHWEST ON LEBANON. AND NOW THAT THE CONSTRUCTION IS THERE, AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY'RE DOING ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING, WIDENING THE LANES AND MAKING 423 BEAUTIFUL SO WE CAN COMPETE WITH COLONY.

BUT. BUT Y'ALL HAVE TO SEND SOME POLICE OVER THERE AND HELP US.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE. I KNOW THAT WE JUST GOT AN ACADEMY THROUGH, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE FRISCO POLICE BE AS PROACTIVE AS THE COLONY POLICE BECAUSE I OBSERVE, I'M VERY OBSERVANT AND THEY THEY HAVE THEM STATIONED AND THEY'RE DOING LIKE REALLY GOOD WORK.

AND I JUST LOVE IT WHEN I SEE SOMEONE GET IT BECAUSE THEY RUN THE LIGHTS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'M A PARTICULAR AGE AND IF I COULD, I WOULD STOP DRIVING.

THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS. AND THEY GET RIGHT ON, ON THE BACK OF YOU.

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE, DO YOU WANT TO GET IN MY BACK SEAT? I MEAN, IT'S HORRIBLE. SO I'M BEGGING Y'ALL TO HELP US OUT OVER THERE WHILE THIS CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON AND ASSIGN US SOME POLICE ON DEERWOOD LANE, ON CRIMSON, ON ASPEN, CRIMSON AND DEERWOOD IS ON LEBANON. ASPEN IS ON 423.

THE KIDS CANNOT GET A BREAK. THERE'S SO MANY BLIND AREAS SOMEBODY GOING TO GET HURT.

PLEASE HELP US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE VINNY PATEL, AND THEN FINALLY, WE'LL HAVE MARK PALASCIANO.

GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS VINNY PATEL.

I WILL NOT BE STATING MY ADDRESS BECAUSE I DON'T GET A MARK ON MYSELF.

BUT CHRISTIE HAS ALL THAT INFORMATION. I WANT TO BEGIN BY THANKING ALL OF YOU FOR BUILDING THIS FANTASTIC CITY OF FRISCO, WHICH I'VE PROUDLY CALLED HOME FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

YOU'VE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB THAT I REALLY JUST HAVE ONE COMPLAINT.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT SO GOOD? SO GOOD THAT I HAD TO PAY $100,000 EXTRA TO GET THE HOUSE THAT I'M IN.

MY BANK ACCOUNT IS STILL PROCESSING THAT. AT THE LAST MEETING, AND APPARENTLY ON THIS ONE TOO, WE'VE HEARD SEVERAL PEOPLE EXPRESS CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MUCH THE CITY HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST TEN, 20 YEARS. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE CONCERNS.

FRISCO HAS CHANGED THE WAY THEY DESCRIBE IT. IT'S NO LONGER A SMALL SUBURBAN TOWN, AND CHANGE CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN IT GROW OVER TIME.

I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE WORRIES ABOUT RAPID GROWTH AND ABOUT PARTICULAR COMMUNITIES MOVING IN LARGE NUMBERS.

WHAT I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND IS THE EXPECTATION EXPECTATION OF POLICY CHANGES BASED ON WHO SHOULD LIVE HERE.

AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE ARE NO LAWS, NO QUOTAS ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM ANY ONE COMMUNITY CAN LIVE IN A CITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS INTENTIONAL. SO MY REQUEST TONIGHT IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE, MUCH SIMPLER THAN SOME REQUESTS

[01:25:04]

ABOUT HAVING ROTTING YOUR SOULS IN HELL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S VERY, VERY SIMPLE. MY REQUEST IS JUST ABOUT A PROCESS, NOT POLICY.

I WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO CONSIDER A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS ONLY VERIFIED FRISCO RESIDENTS TO SPEAK AT THESE MEETINGS, SIMILAR TO THE FRISCO ISD ELECTRONIC SIGN IN SYSTEM WITH A BUILT IN VERIFICATION LAYER FOR NAME AND ADDRESS.

THIS WOULD HELP ENSURE THAT THE VOICES BEING HEARD BELONG TO THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIVE HERE, AND ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE CITY'S DECISIONS.

IT COULD EVEN BE A GREAT CITY PROJECT FOR A CTE STUDENT.

SOMETHING TO DESIGN A SOLUTION LIKE THAT. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU ARE BUILDING IN THIS CITY.

THANK YOU. OKAY, FINALLY WE HAVE MARK PALASCIANO.

I SEE WE'RE BACK TO MAKING ME GO LAST AND I AM FLATTERED.

SO DEAR DANG FRISCO, Y'ALL HAD AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER ARRESTED TODAY FOR INVASIVE VIDEO RECORDING.

ADD THAT TO CARMELO ANTHONY'S STABBING, AUSTIN METCALF AND THE INDIAN TAKEOVER.

AND THIS IS A FRISCO THAT NO TEXAN RECOGNIZES.

AND I'M NOT SURPRISED TO HEAR YOU'RE LOOKING INTO CHANGING THE CITIZEN INPUT PROCESS IN THESE MEETINGS, BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A TYRANT WOULD DO WHEN THEY'RE AFRAID OF FREE SPEECH.

I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR NOW HERE IN THE CITY COUNCIL THAT FRISCO IS TURNING INTO CALIFORNIA, AND I CONTINUE TO BE PROVEN RIGHT WHILE YOU GUYS ALL DEFLECT THE H-1B ISSUE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND CALL ME RACIST.

YOUR RESIDENTS ARE LEARNING ABOUT YOUR TYRANNY.

YOU GUYS ARE ACTING EXACTLY LIKE WOKE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS FROM CALIFORNIA.

YOU CAN CALL ME RACIST ALL YOU WANT. I'D RATHER BE CALLED A RACIST THAN A TYRANT, BECAUSE ONE IS BASED ON FEELINGS AND THE OTHER IS BASED ON A FACT.

YOU ARE VIOLATING YOUR OATH TO THE TEXAS AND UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

MAYOR CHENEY, I STARTED A PETITION TO DEMAND AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY ETHICS REVIEW INTO YOU AND YOUR REAL ESTATE BUSINESS.

AS OF TODAY, IT HAS 360 SIGNATURES AND CLIMBING.

FRISCO CITY COUNCIL, I'M LOOKING AT ALL OF YOU RIGHT NOW AND ASKING FOR YOU TO OPEN UP THIS ETHICS REVIEW.

IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO OPEN UP THIS REVIEW, THEN IT IS OBVIOUS YOU'RE HELPING MAYOR CHENEY COVER UP HIS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH HIS REAL ESTATE BUSINESS.

AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN ALL OF YOU SHOULD RESIGN BECAUSE NONE OF YOU WILL BE TRANSPARENT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

YOU SHOULD ALSO BE REACHING OUT TO FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES TO ASK FOR HELP WITH INVESTIGATING H1-B IN FRISCO.

YOU WOULD DO THE SAME IF YOU HAD A NATURAL DISASTER HERE AND YOU NEEDED TO REACH OUT TO FEMA.

THE RESIDENTS OF FRISCO ELECTED YOU TO REPRESENT THEM, AND PART OF YOUR JOB IS LISTENING TO THEIR CONCERNS AND ACTING ON IT.

YOU ARE THE PEOPLE IN THE POSITION TO ENGAGE THOSE STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES.

I WILL KEEP COMING BACK TO EVERY MEETING DEMANDING THIS UNTIL THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION.

JOHN KEATING. WHY DID FRISCO 380 PARTNERS DONATE $100,000 TO YOU BETWEEN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER? WHAT DO YOU GIVE RONALD FEFFERMAN IN RETURN? LET ME GUESS.

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT FOR REAL ESTATE BILLS IN FRISCO.

FRISCO'S CORRUPTION IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF CONTROL.

FRISCO HAS A GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB, AND YOU GUYS JUST THINK YOU'RE UNTOUCHABLE.

YOU SELL OUT THE CITY YOU RUN TO BENEFIT MILLIONAIRES, BILLIONAIRES AND CORPORATIONS WHILE THE AVERAGE FRISCO RESIDENT GETS WRECKED WITH A DECLINING ECONOMY, LAYOFFS AND AN INDIAN TAKEOVER.

WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY MOST TEXAS CONSERVATIVE NEWS SOURCES WON'T REPORT ON THIS GRASSROOT MOVEMENT IN FRISCO.

I'M WILLING TO BET THOSE SAME PEOPLE Y'ALL ARE HELPING MAKE MONEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE FUNDING THOSE NEW SOURCES, AND THEY'RE HELPING TO PROTECT YOU AND THEIR BUSINESS INTERESTS. ALL OF YOU HAVE REFERRED TO ME AS AN OUTSIDE AGITATOR BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN FRISCO.

BUT ALL OF YOU KNOW WHY I'M HERE IN FRISCO? BECAUSE I'M A T-MOBILE WHISTLEBLOWER.

WHY IS IT OKAY FOR YOU TO ACCEPT DONATIONS FROM PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF FRISCO, BUT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME SPEAKING UP HERE? I'M USING MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT, PROTECTED UNDER THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT TO ASK QUESTIONS.

YOU SHOULD BE SUPPORTING MY RIGHT TO DO THAT.

BUT YOU DON'T BECAUSE MY FREE SPEECH IS THREATENING TO YOU AND YOUR TYRANNY.

I TOLD Y'ALL LAST YEAR WHEN YOU DISRESPECTED ME BY TURNING THE CAMERA TO MY BACK, THAT I WOULD KEEP COMING BACK TO EVERY MEETING SPEAKING UP.

NOW LOOK AT WHAT I'VE DONE. I HAVE THE FRISCO.

I HAVE THE CITY OF FRISCO TRENDING ONLINE BECAUSE OF THE INDIAN TAKEOVER THAT ALSO HAS A LOT OF RED FLAGS WITH H1-B VISAS.

AND THERE'S MULTIPLE PEOPLE NOW COMING HERE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THE ISSUES IN YOUR CITY.

AS THE SAYING GOES, DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS. YOU GUYS MESSED WITH THE WRONG TEXAN BECAUSE I WON'T GIVE UP FIGHTING FOR WHAT'S RIGHT.

AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS IS YOU ALL CAN THANK T-MOBILE FOR IT.

I NEVER WOULD BE EXPOSING FRISCO IF T-MOBILE DIDN'T VIOLATE MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THIS CITY.

I'LL BE BACK ON MARCH 3RD, AND I HOPE YOU'LL HAVE OPENED UP AN ETHICS REVIEW INTO MAYOR CHENEY AND ENGAGED STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES BY THEN.

[01:30:04]

SEE YOU MARCH 3RD [APPLAUSE]. SO THAT IS THE END OF OUR CITIZENS COMMENTS TONIGHT. ONCE AGAIN, WE HAD SIX DIFFERENT CARDS FROM OUTSIDE OF FRISCO OR GAVE FAKE ADDRESSES.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'LL MOVE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM 30 IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND REQUEST TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE SUBSECTION 4.04.08 PARKING

[Public Hearing: A request to consider possible amendments to Zoning Ordinance Subsection 4.04.08, Parking Requirements Based on Use, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoning Case No. ZA25-0007. Applicant: City of Frisco. (Development Services/JH)]

REQUIREMENTS BASED ON USE AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME ZONING CASE NUMBER ZA25-0007 APPLICANT IS CITY OF FRISCO.

YES. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

YOU MIGHT REMEMBER WE HAD A SITE PLAN THAT CAME BEFORE.

WHAT? OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. IS IT WORKING NOW? OKAY. OKAY, SO MIGHT REMEMBER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WE HAD A SITE PLAN THAT AN APPLICANT WAS APPEALING HERE THAT WAS OVER AT INDEPENDENCE AND ROHLEDER. THEY WERE APPLYING WHAT? WE HAVE THIS RULE FOR INLINE RESTAURANTS. PARKING THAT AT 1 TO 200, LIKE A RETAIL STORE INSTEAD OF 1 TO 100.

WE FIND THAT RATIO DOES NOT WORK AND HAS BEEN MISAPPLIED IN THE PAST.

IT'S WHEN THEY TRY TO HAVE THESE OUTLYING BUILDINGS AND THEN TRY TO PARK IT AT 1 TO 200, THAT CREATES A PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEMS CREATED BY THE RESTAURANT THAT GENERALLY HAVE MORE PEOPLE, EMPLOYEES.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT STAY LONGER, THAT COME AT PEAK TIMES CREATING A PARKING PROBLEM.

SO AND WE HAD ANOTHER CASE THAT CAME BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AFTER THAT, THE SAME THING. WE GOT THAT ONE WORKED OUT. BUT WHAT THE PROPOSAL FOR YOU HERE IS TO TAKE AWAY THAT INLINE PARKING, WHICH IS 1 TO 200 FOR A RESTAURANT. JUST PARK IT AT 1 TO 100.

WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING. WE HAVE STARTED THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT OUR PARKING STANDARDS AND AMENDING OR DEVELOPING PARKING STANDARDS.

THERE ARE SEVERAL VARIABLES THAT IMPACTS PARKING SIZE OF THE MARKET AREA WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM, FREQUENCY, HOW LONG DO THEY STAY THERE, AND SO FORTH.

BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE, IT'S JUST TO REMOVE THE INLINE PARKING RATIO AT ONE OR 1 TO 200 AND JUST PARK IT AT 1 TO 100, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER RESTAURANT. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS AND AND APPROVED OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION 6 TO 0.

BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION BY LAURA. SECOND.

SECOND. BY ANGELIA. IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES SIX ZERO.
