MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY STAFF, IT'S A PLEASURE TO COME BEFORE YOU FOR PRAYER TONIGHT. AND IT'S AN HONOR, SO I WOULD ASK EVERYBODY IN CHAMBERS TO PLEASE JUST BOW YOUR HEADS AND LET'S PRAY WHEREVER YOU ARE. LORD, WE COME BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU ALONE ARE SOVEREIGN OVER ALL THINGS. YOUR WORD REMINDS US THAT THERE IS NO AUTHORITY EXCEPT FROM GOD. AND THOSE WHICH EXIST ARE ESTABLISHED BY GOD. ROMANS 13:1. SO TONIGHT, GOD, WE PAUSE AS A COMMUNITY, AS A FAMILY, NOT MERELY FOR A TRANSITION OF LEADERSHIP, BUT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR HAND OVER OUR CITY, YOUR HAND OVER OUR LEADERS AND OVER OUR COMMUNITY. LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR OUR OUTGOING MAYOR, MAYOR CHENEY, FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SERVE, HIS SACRIFICES MADE, AND FOR EVERY DECISION MADE WITH A DESIRE TO STRENGTHEN AND BLESS THIS GREAT CITY. WE PRAY YOUR BLESSINGS, OH GREAT

[00:05:01]

WE ALSO LIFT UP TONIGHT, GOD, OUR INCOMING MAYOR, MARK HILL. YOUR WORD TELLS US THAT IF ANYONE LACKS WISDOM, HE SHOULD ASK OF GOD, WHO GIVES LIBERALLY. JAMES 1:5. SO WE ASK THAT YOU GRANT MARK HILL WISDOM. GRANT HIM HUMILITY, GRANT HIM DISCERNMENT, GRANT HIM COURAGE, OH GOD, AND GRANT HIM COMPASSION. MAKE EVERY DECISION. BE GUIDED NOT BY PERSONAL AMBITION, BUT BY DESIRE TO SERVE. FIRST YOU AND THEN ALL OF THE PEOPLE OF THE GREAT CITY OF FRISCO, AND FINALLY, GOD. WE PRAY FOR EVERY MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL AND ESPECIALLY PRAY FOR OUR COMMUNITY, GOD, OUR FRISCO, IN THIS MOMENT OF OUR HISTORY, OH GOD, WHERE THERE HAS BEEN TENSION, BRING UNDERSTANDING. WHERE THERE HAS BEEN DIVISION, OH, GREAT GOD, HELP US PURSUE UNITY. WHERE THERE HAS BEEN HURT, BEGIN THE WORK OF HEALING. TEACH US, O GOD, HOW TO DISAGREE WITHOUT HATRED, HOW TO LISTEN WITHOUT ASSUMING THE WORST, HOW TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE NEIGHBORS WHO SHARE OPINIONS.

BUT BEFORE THAT, WE ARE NEIGHBORS WHO SHARE FRISCO. BLESS THOSE WHO LEAD.

BLESS THOSE WHO SERVE. BLESS EVERY FAMILY IN THIS COMMUNITY.

I PRAY THIS PRAYER IN THE NAME OF MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. LET FRISCO SAY AMEN.

ALWAYS A BLESSING, PASTOR.

THANK YOU. NEXT, EVERYONE, WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL TREAT TONIGHT. WE HAVE. MICHELLE WILKINS IS GOING TO BE PERFORMING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.

AND IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD HER SING BEFORE, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT.

LET US STAND FOR THE SINGING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE DAWN'S EARLY DAYS LIGHT WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HATH THE TWILIGHT LAST GLEAMING WHO BUT STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS THROUGH THE PERILOUS FIGHT OH, THE RAMPARTS WE WATCH WERE SO GALLANTLY STREAMING AND THE ROCK HAS REGULAR BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR.

[00:10:08]

THAT WAS.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. ALL OF THESE GENTLEMEN ARE FRISCO'S DISTINGUISHED VETERANS, AN AWARD THAT WAS CREATED UNDER MAYOR CHENEY AND COUNCIL MEMBER JOHN KEATING'S LEADERSHIP BACK IN 2018. THESE ARE FIVE OF THE EIGHT WHO HAVE RECEIVED THAT AWARD, WITH DWAYNE LANDA BEING THE FIRST AND MIKE MARTIN BEING THE MOST RECENT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INVITE OUR SCOUT TROOP 216 TO THE STAGE TO JOIN OUR DISTINGUISHED VETERANS FOR OUR PLEDGES THIS EVENING.

TWO OF MY FAVORITE TRADITIONS AS MAYOR COLLIDING IN ONE EVENT. ONE BEING SCOUTS LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE EVERY SINGLE MEETING AND THEN ASKING THEM A BURNING QUESTION. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU OFF THE HOOK, BUT I FIRST WANT TO START WITH OUR DISTINGUISHED VETERANS BECAUSE AS LAURA MENTIONED, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO IS FRISCO IS TO BECOME A CITY THAT IS KNOWN FOR CELEBRATING AND TELLING THE STORIES OF OUR VETERAN COMMUNITY. AND WE STARTED THIS NINE YEARS AGO.

I SAW JOHN KEATING IN THE BACK WHO RAN THE FRISCO MAYOR'S VETERAN COMMITTEE. AND SO WE'VE TOLD NINE AMAZING STORIES AND THEY'VE BEEN OUR GRAND MARSHAL IN OUR COMMUNITY PARADE. SO I WANTED TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.

THANK YOU, MAYOR CHENEY.

NOW REMEMBER, THE FIFTH PLANK WAS TO BE A FRIENDLY CITY FOR THE VETERANS, AND HE CERTAINLY DELIVERED THAT. AND I THANK YOU, JEFF, FOR YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU, SIR. DWAYNE LANDA, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE IT WAS VERY MUCH OF A PLEASURE AND AN HONOR TO BE SELECTED AS A VETERAN OF THE YEAR IN FRISCO TO REPRESENT ALL THE VETERANS IN FRISCO.

I THINK MOST OF YOU PROBABLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN WITH HIM AND SHARE YOUR

[00:15:01]

AND IF HE WAS, HE'D ALSO LET YOU KNOW THEN.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR MILITARY COMMUNITY AND FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN OUR CITY. THANK YOU. I AM DON FINK, UNITED STATES ARMY, CURRENTLY THE CHAPLAIN FOR A VFW POST HERE IN FRISCO.

JEFF.

AND NOW. OUR MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS TEAM HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE JUST A LITTLE BIT. I MEAN, YOU CAN'T CAPTURE 19 YEARS IN A FIVE MINUTE VIDEO, BUT THEY'VE ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE IMPACT THAT THIS MAN HAS HAD ON THIS INCREDIBLE CITY.

HI. JEFF CHENEY. DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF MAYOR. WHAT AN EXCITING DAY. WE CAN'T EVEN KEEP THE KIDS OFF THE STATE PARK. THE CITY OF FRISCO IS COMMITTED TO PUBLIC SAFETY. NEARLY HALF OF OUR BUDGET GOES TOWARDS THAT. IT TOOK EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT IN THIS CITY TO MAKE THIS PROJECT A REALITY.

THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT FOR YOU. THIS WAS BUILT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME ONE.

SO, BILL, I'LL GIVE YOU THE HONORS AS THE BUDGET, NOT A CHAIR, MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 30 ESTABLISHING A FREEZE ON ABALONE PROPERTY TAXES FOR RESIDENT HOMESTEADS OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED INDIVIDUALS IN THE CITY OF FRISCO. MOTION BY BILL.

SECOND.

SECOND BY BRIAN. ALL IN FAVOR, OPPOSE THAT. MOTION PASSES.

[00:45:01]

THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO US. FRISCO, TEXAS IS THE COUNTRY MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. THIS WEEK, GET READY FOR THE GREATEST FIFA WORLD CUP EVER.

BEING A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION, YOU KNOW, FOR THE REGION, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE A DESTINATION FOR MANY PEOPLE. INNOVATION HERE IN FRISCO HAS A LONG HISTORY TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AS A CITY. WE KNEW WE HAD TO GO FIND THE RIGHT PARTNERS.

PLUG AND PLAY WAS A PERFECT FIT FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO. MONEY MAGAZINE NAMED FRISCO THE NUMBER ONE PLACE IN AMERICA TO LIVE. BUT LET'S OFFICIALLY WELCOME THE DALLAS POLL TO SPORTS CITY USA HERE IN FRISCO, TEXAS TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON A JOB WELL DONE THIS YEAR.

GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. I WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN YOU ALL STARTED THIS ENDEAVOR. IT TAKES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO MAKE FRISCO THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE. WELCOME TO FRISCO, TEXAS. MAYOR JEFF CHENEY WITH OUR CITY COUNCIL HERE IN SPORTS CITY USA. AND TODAY IS THE DAY THAT WE FINALLY OPEN MAIN STREET TO BOTH FLIGHT OF TRAFFIC. IT'S BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE FOR OUR STAFF. YOU KNOW, BEING ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IS NO EASY TASK BETWEEN MAYOR SIMPSON AND MYSELF. I THINK WE'VE BEEN A PART OF ALMOST EVERY FIRE STATION OPENING. MY NAME IS JEFF CHENEY , MAYOR OF THE FRISCO FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST TOWN HALL MEETING.

PATREON UNDERHAND. I DID MY LAST COMMUNITY PARADE AS THE MAYOR. SO IT WAS REALLY SPECIAL TO BE ABLE TO LEAD THE PARADE THIS WAY.

WE MADE IT FINALLY.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? WE ARE FINALLY HERE. YOU KNOW, TODAY IS MORE THAN A GRAND GROUNDBREAKING. TODAY IS A TRUE MILESTONE IN THE FUTURE OF FRISCO. I WAS REALLY PUSHING THAT. WE NEED TO CONSIDER OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AS PART OF OUR PARK AND OPEN SPACE PLAN. AS CRAIG MENTIONED, WE'VE DONE MANY OF THESE OVER THE YEARS. I HOPE I GET INVITED BACK TO THE NEXT FEW AS YOU CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE MILESTONES.

TO HAVE THE NATIONAL SOCCER HALL OF FAME IS QUITE AN HONOR FOR THE CITY. WE THINK PEOPLE WILL COME NOT ONLY FROM ALL, ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES, BUT THE WORLD IS HERE IN FRISCO, TEXAS. TO LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SOCCER.

THE JONES FAMILY AND THE COWBOYS HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING TEAM PARTNER FOR US. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THEY'VE BEEN HERE NINE YEARS HERE IN FRISCO. AND I LOVE LIGHTING THE CHRISTMAS TREE EVERY YEAR. IT'S MY LAST ONE, SO IT'S EXTRA SPECIAL THIS YEAR. BUT THIS IS THE BIGGEST AND BEST WE'VE EVER DONE. I THINK THE BIGGEST LESSON EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER I'VE EVER SERVED WITH, THEY'VE EVER THEY LEARNED ALONG THE WAY IS JUST HOW INCREDIBLE AND TALENTED OUR CITY STAFF IS.

EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT. THEY MAKE IT EASY FOR US, THEY MAKE US LOOK GOOD. WE ALL MORE CREDIT THAN WE DESERVE.

WHEN THINGS GO RIGHT, WE CAST A VISION, WE MAKE THEM BELIEVE. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THEM. YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT THEM TO GO AND REACH FOR INCREDIBLE THINGS, YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO ACCEPT WHEN THEY SCRAPE A KNEE AND AN ELBOW, YOU KNOW, AND SAY, HEY, WE SUPPORT YOU. WE WANT YOU TO CONTINUE. IF YOU'RE NOT FAILING, THEN YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH. MY NAME IS JEFF CHENEY . PROUD TO BE YOUR MAYOR, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY FOR NINE YEARS AS YOUR MAYOR AND ANOTHER NINE YEARS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER. I'VE BEEN ATTENDING THESE FREEDOM FEST FOR TWO DECADES NOW. THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST FREEDOM FEST AS MAYOR. SO I'VE ENJOYED THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR. AND CELEBRATING WITH THE COMMUNITY, IT'S JUST SUCH A MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY EVENT WHERE, YOU KNOW, FRISCO RESIDENTS COME TOGETHER, CELEBRATE OUR COUNTRY, CELEBRATE OUR FREEDOM, HONOR OUR VETERANS, HAVE A GREAT SHOW, GREAT TIME, AND IT'S REALLY WHAT COMMUNITY IS ALL ABOUT. AND OF COURSE, THIS ONE IS A REALLY SPECIAL MILESTONE YEAR, AS WE ALL KNOW. LET'S HEAR A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR AMERICA'S 250TH BIRTHDAY. IT'S BEEN A NINE YEAR PROCESS, INVOLVED ALMOST EVERY CITY DEPARTMENT. SO IT'S EXCITING THAT WE'RE FINALLY KICKING IT OFF. WE'RE SO HAPPY

[00:50:01]

MRS. MALLORY KNEW WHAT I NEEDED. I WAS GOING TO KNOW THE CURRICULUM, I WAS GOING TO GET A'S.

I WAS GOING TO DO VERY WELL.

BUT FOR ME TO GROW INTO THE PERSON SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHO I COULD BE. SHE KNEW I NEEDED TO GROW OUTSIDE OF MY COMFORT LEVEL. AND MAYOR JUST, I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. THIS IS YOUR LAST ONE. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE BY THAT, BUT YOU'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB.

I TALKED ABOUT TODAY A LITTLE BIT THAT I'M GOING TO MISS BEING IN THE ARENA AND WORKING WITH THE TEAM AND HELP SHAPE WHAT FRISCO BECOMES. BUT I'LL DEFINITELY BE CELEBRATING FROM THE SIDELINES, PROVIDING ANY INPUT I CAN.

BUT I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS AND THE FUTURE OF FRISCO IS BRIGHT. REMEMBER THAT FRISCO'S HEART IS THE GREATEST STRENGTH. THANK YOU, FRISCO, FOR ENTRUSTING ME WITH THIS ROLE. LET'S KEEP MAKING FRISCO EXTRAORDINARY TOGETHER.

WELL, THIS IS A SURPRISE.

I HAD TO WRITE THIS OUT.

OTHERWISE, IF YOU KNOW ME, I WOULDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH IT.

WELL, GOOD EVENING. I'M JOHN KEATING, AND TONIGHT MARKS THE END OF AN ERA FOR OUR CITY.

FOR NEARLY 16 YEARS, I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING ALONGSIDE MAYOR JEFF CHENEY.

DURING THAT TIME, I'VE WATCHED FIRSTHAND HIS COMMITMENT TO FRISCO AND HIS UNWAVERING BELIEF THIS CITY COULD BECOME SOMETHING TRULY EXTRAORDINARY.

TOGETHER, WE'VE MADE DIFFICULT DECISIONS, CELEBRATED INCREDIBLE MILESTONES, AND WORKED TO BUILD A CITY OUR RESIDENTS ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME. WE DIDN'T ALWAYS AGREE, BUT WE ALWAYS SHARED THE SAME GOAL, DOING WHAT WE BELIEVED WAS BEST FOR FRISCO. ONE THING PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT JEFF IS THAT NO MATTER HOW LONG A MEETING LASTED, HE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO KEEP HIS SENSE OF HUMOR.

AFTER ONE PARTICULARLY LONG COUNCIL MEETING THAT STRETCHED WELL PAST MIDNIGHT, WE ALL LOOKED COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED.

JEFF LOOKED AROUND THE DAIS AND SAID, WELL, AT LEAST TRAFFIC WILL BE LIGHT GOING HOME. IT WASN'T MUCH, BUT IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED.

WE ALL LAUGHED AND SOMEHOW FOUND THE ENERGY TO FINISH THE JOB. THAT'S JEFF. HE KNOWS HOW TO LEAD, BUT HE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS APPRECIATE MOST WAS OUR WORK ON BEHALF OF FRISCO VETERANS.

TOGETHER, WE HELPED MAKE FRISCO A PURPLE HEART CITY, RECOGNIZED OUR FRISCO DISTINGUISHED VETERANS, HONORED OUR POWMAI COMMUNITY, AND ASSURED THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY WOULD ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED HERE AT HOME. AS A VETERAN, THOSE MOMENTS WILL ALWAYS MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO ME. AND I'M GRATEFUL, JEFF, THAT YOU SHARED THAT COMMITMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR SERVICE TO OUR CITY. THANK YOU TO DANA AND YOUR FAMILY FOR THE SACRIFICES YOU'VE MADE ALONG THE WAY. PUBLIC SERVICE IS NEVER A JOURNEY TAKEN ALONE.

TONIGHT, WE ALSO WELCOME A NEW CHAPTER FOR FRISCO. I CONGRATULATE OUR NEW MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND WISH THEM EVERY SUCCESS. BECAUSE WHEN FRISCO'S LEADERS SUCCEED, OUR CITY SUCCEEDS. JEFF, YOUR VISION AND IDEAS ARE ALL OVER THIS CITY. YOUR LEGACY ISN'T MEASURED ONLY BY THE BUILDINGS, PARKS, OR PARTNERSHIPS YOU'VE HELPED CREATE. IT'S MEASURED BY THE LIVES YOU TOUCHED AND THE COMMUNITY YOU'VE HELPED TO BUILD. CONGRATULATIONS, MY FRIEND. IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS FRISCO, AND GOD BLESS THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.

WELL, HOW DO I FOLLOW THAT? BUT I'M GOING TO TRY. YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ASKED ME RECENTLY, WHAT'S IT LIKE YOUR FIRST YEAR ON CITY COUNCIL? AND I SAID, IT'S KIND OF LIKE DOG YEARS.

ONE YEAR EQUALS SEVEN YEARS.

IT'S DEFINITELY AGED ME. SO, JEFF, YOU'VE DONE 18 YEARS.

YEAH. YOU'RE 126. YOU LOOK PRETTY DARN GOOD FOR 126. SO I HOPE I LOOK AS GOOD AS WHEN.

IF I'M HERE FOR 18 YEARS, I HOPE I LOOK NEAR AS GOOD AS YOU.

BUT ANYWAY, JEFF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

[00:55:01]

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T CALL UP SOMEBODY WHO ALSO DESERVES TO BE UP HERE.

MIRAMASO, WOULD YOU MIND JOINING US UP HERE ON STAGE AND SAY A FEW WORDS? YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME THERE.

WELL, THIS IS UNPLANNED. I WAS TRYING TO STAY IN THE BACK THERE. BUT, JEFF, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE UP HERE WITH YOU. I'VE BEEN AROUND YOU A LONG TIME, AND YOU'VE PUT IN A LOT OF HOURS LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE. AND WHEN YOU HIT THE GROUND RUNNING, YOU REALLY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. I MEAN, YOU MADE SOME COMMITMENTS TO THE CITIZENS, AND YOU PROMISED THEM YOU WOULD COMMUNICATE WITH THEM. AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU COMMUNICATE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WELL. SO ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, I KNOW MAYOR SIMPSON IS OUT HERE. MIKE, RIGHT THERE. THERE WE GO.

YEAH, SO. AND IT'S ALWAYS A MISTAKE TO GIVE ME A MIC BECAUSE I CAN GO ON A LONG TIME. BUT I'M GOING TO KEEP IT SHORT BECAUSE.

BECAUSE IT'S WARM IN HERE. I KNOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET TO THE SWEARING END, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS HERE, AND I THINK THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO REGIONALISM, TO BRING IN GROUPS TOGETHER, BRINGING CITIES TOGETHER. THE FOUNDATION OF TEXAS IS REALLY BUILT AMONG A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES, ALONG WITH OUR COMMUNITY SO THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. I KNOW MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE THOSE OF US THAT HAVE DONE IT UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT IT HAS ON YOUR SPOUSE, ON YOUR CHILDREN. MANY TIMES THEY GROW WITH YOU AND THEY LEARN WITH YOU, BUT THE REALITY IS IT TAKES TIME AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE YOU'VE ALSO COMMITTED TO THE CITIZEN THAT'S YOUR OTHER FAMILY. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING US YOUR DAD AND HUSBAND FOR SO LONG. AND BERT, I'M GOING TO REMEMBER THIS. I'M GOING TO BRING YOU ON STAGE SOMETIME TO EMBARRASS YOU, BUT THANKS FOR DOING THAT. SO I'LL PASS THAT ON.

MAYOR SIMPSON, THERE YOU GO, MIKE. I'M SURPRISED HE GAVE ME THE MIC, BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT. WE'VE ALREADY, WE'VE ALREADY HAD A LOT OF PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS AS A FAMILY, BOTH JEFF, DANA, SANDY AND I. SANDY WISHES SHE COULD BE HERE TONIGHT, BUT SHE'S RECOVERING FROM HER HOSPITAL TOUR.

BUT I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES, I WAS A MAYOR WHEN YOU, YOU WERE ON COUNCIL. GOT TO SWEAR YOU IN. AND PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND DO NOT KNOW UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES AND THE MAYOR'S SHOES, WHAT THE MAYOR AND THE FAMILY GO THROUGH. SO THANK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR YOUR DEDICATION, YOUR HARD WORK, YOUR INSPIRATION. YOUR NAME IS ON THIS CITY FOREVER, AND YOU SHOULD BE DAGGONE PROUD OF IT. AND WE'RE PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SO THANK YOU.

GET COMFORTABLE, FOLKS.

MAYOR CHENEY, THERE'S A LINE.

THERE'S A LINE IN A REALLY GOOD BOOK THAT I LIKE.

IT SAYS, AS IRON SHARPENS, IRON MEN SHARPEN MEN. AND I THINK IT IS SO APPROPRIATE.

THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HERE WHO SERVE IN GOVERNMENT. A LOT OF YOU I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO KNOW AND LEARN FROM. AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE SHARPEST BLADE AS THE WHETSTONE. AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS MUCH, TO BE ABLE TO SIT NEXT TO YOU AND TO LEARN FROM YOU, I KNEW I HAD TO SHOW UP PREPARED EVERY SINGLE TIME, BECAUSE IF I WASN'T, JEFF CHENEY WAS GOING TO EVISCERATE ME.

BUT WHEN WE DID AGREE, BOY, IT WAS LIKE THE SKIES OPENED UP, THERE WERE ANGELS THAT WERE SINGING.

AND I KNEW I WAS ONTO SOMETHING GOOD BECAUSE IT WOULD PASS HIS LITMUS TEST. AND I THINK FOR EVERYONE WHO SERVES, EVERYONE WHO HAS SERVED, WHETHER YOU WERE IN THE MILITARY OR WHETHER YOU'RE A PARENT, WHETHER YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, A BOY SCOUT OR AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, THE THING ABOUT IT IS, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S ABOUT SERVICE. JEFF, YOU'VE SERVED FOR 18 YEARS.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST BEEN YOU.

IT'S BEEN DANA. IT'S BEEN MICHELLE. IT'S BEEN THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY. AND TO THE CHENEY AND TO CHENEY SENIOR.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE. OH, YOU'RE BACK THERE.

HI, SIR. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING UP WITH JEFF'S AMBITION TO TURN THIS CITY INTO SOMETHING BETTER. WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS.

THREE OF THEM UP HERE. MAYOR SIMPSON, MAYOR MASSO, MAYOR CHENEY, AND NOW MAYOR HILL.

AND THAT UNBROKEN CHAIN, THAT LEGACY TO MAKE FRISCO EVEN BETTER IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. SO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, SIR.

SO, JEFF, WHEN I FIRST RAN FOR COUNCIL, YOU AND I HAD NEVER EVEN MET.

WE HAD NEVER SPOKEN A SINGLE WORD.

[01:00:02]

BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE DONE IT WITH GRACE AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TALK TRUTH AND HELP TEACH US HOW TO TALK TRUTH. AND FOR THAT, I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL.

AND IF YOU THINK I'M STOPPING CALLING YOU, YOU ARE VERY INCORRECT.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT. DAD, I LOVE YOU.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, AND I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER ROLE MODEL.

MY NAME IS CAITLIN, AND MY DAD HAS BEEN ON CITY COUNCIL SINCE I WAS FOUR WEEKS OLD.

AND I AM NOW 19 AND A SOPHOMORE IN COLLEGE, IF THAT SAYS ANYTHING AT ALL.

BUT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR PUTTING EVERYONE ELSE BEFORE YOURSELF.

AND I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER FATHER.

I LOVE YOU.

MY NAME IS MASON. I WASN'T PREPARED TO SAY ANYTHING TONIGHT, BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY DAD AND MARK HILL. GET READY FOR THE 1AM MORNINGS AND THE WAIT NIGHTS.

WELL, NOBODY WANTS ME TO TALK BECAUSE I CAN TALK FOREVER, BUT I WILL BE BRIEF.

MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF JEFF AS MAYOR HAPPENED THIS FEBRUARY WHEN A CITY COUNCIL MEETING BECAME A VERY DARK MOMENT. AND AT THE END OF THAT, MY BROTHER HAD THE COURAGE TO STAND UP AND SAY WHAT HE BELIEVED AND WHAT HE VALUED.

AND HE SAID THAT IN THIS CITY, OUR NEIGHBOR SHOULD FEEL SAFE.

LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. AND THAT WAS THE THING, PROBABLY THE MOST POIGNANT, POWERFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN MY BROTHER SAY. AND THAT WAS THE MOMENT AT WHICH I HAVE BEEN. I WAS THE MOST PROUD OF YOU THAT I'VE EVER BEEN IN OUR LIVES TOGETHER. AND I JUST. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, YOU NEED TO WATCH IT.

FIRST OF ALL, JEFF DID NOT GET HIS SPEAKING SKILLS FROM ME, BUT I HAVE BEEN AS PROUD OF HIM AS YOU ALLARE SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BITTY BOY. HE EXCELLED IN EVERYTHING THAT HE DID. I REMEMBER ONE TIME WE HAD A BUNCH OF LITTLE KIDS AT OUR HOUSE AND THEY WERE ALL RUNNING OUT AND JEFF WAS THE LAST ONE OUT. AND I SAID, JEFF, I SAID, YOU KNOW YOU'RE MY FAVORITE LITTLE BOY. HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS THE DUMBEST PERSON IN THE WORLD AND SAID, DAD, I'M YOUR ONLY LITTLE BOY.

AND I SAID, NO, NO.

I MEAN, OF ALL THE LITTLE BOYS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU'RE MY FAVORITE. AND HE HAS MADE ME PROUD. AND I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED, BUT HE WAS LITTLE, I CAN GUARANTEE THAT. AND HIS MOTHER WAS VERY PROUD OF HIM, TOO.

JEFF, I'M SORRY WE HAVEN'T HAD MORE TIME TO WORK TOGETHER.

I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT RUNNING

[01:05:01]

I KNOW THAT LEADERSHIP ISN'T JUST THE INDIVIDUAL LEADING, BUT IT'S ALL OF THOSE THAT SUPPORT.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT YOU DON'T JUST LEAD. YOU ENCOURAGE OTHER LEADERS TO STEP UP AND FOLLOW THEIR PASSION AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALLS AND TEXTS AT WEIRD TIMES AND FOR MEETING ME FOR COFFEE AND SAYING, HOW CAN I HELP? AND THANK YOU FOR LEADING ME IN THE PATH AND ENCOURAGING ME IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS AS I STARTED MY COUNCIL CAREER.

AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST KNOW THAT THIS IS A WELL DESERVED REST FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR FRISCO. EVERY TIME I WALK INTO A PARK OR I SEE A PARK ON A PLAN, I THINK, OH, THAT'S JEFF AND HIS PARKS. SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. I'VE ALWAYS SAID FRISCO IS A VERY PLANNED COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE MOVE HERE FOR A REASON. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF LEADERS LIKE YOURSELF AND THOSE WHO'VE COME BEFORE. THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THAT CHAIN.

JEFF, I HAVE SERVED THE SHORTEST TIME WITH YOU, BUT I DO REMEMBER WAY BACK IN THE DAY WHEN ERIC WOULD BE ON FRISCO ONLINE AND YOU AND DANA'S PICTURE SHOWED UP AND I WAS LIKE, OH, WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE? AND HERE WE ARE. AND LOOK AT THIS CROWD. AND TO HEAR YOUR KIDS. WHAT A BLESSED MAN. RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT EVERY FATHER WANTS TO HEAR.

NUMBER ONE, I JUST WANT TO SAY, WHEN YOU TOLD ME MONTHS AGO TO DREAM BIG, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DREAMING BIG AND THAT WE ARE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF YOU BEING A VISIONARY AND YOUR BIG IDEAS.

SO THANK YOU. NUMBER TWO, YOU ARE A WALKING JUKEBOX OF FRISCO FACTS. I WANT TO PUT YOU AND JOHN LETLER NEXT TO EACH OTHER TO SEE WHO REMEMBERS MORE STORIES. BUT YOU REALLY COULD PLAY NAME THAT TUNE WITH A PROJECT AND YOU'D BE ABLE TO NAME IT ANY PROJECT IN FRISCO. AND THAT'S AMAZING.

AND YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF SO MANY OF THEM FOR 18 YEARS. BUT I KNOW THAT POLITICAL SERVICE IS NOT JUST AN INDEPENDENT COMMITMENT, BUT IT'S A FAMILY COMMITMENT.

AND DANA AND MASON AND CAITLIN AND ZACH, I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE HAD SACRIFICES TOO. AND I ALSO WANT TO CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO FOLLOW YOUR FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS IN LEADERSHIP AND IN SERVICE AND BEING SERVANT HEARTED LEADERS. YOU'VE HAD SUCH A GREAT ROLE MODEL IN THAT, AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO TAKE THAT BATON AND RUN WITH IT. SO THANK YOU FOR DREAMING BIG. THANK YOU, DANA, FOR BEING SUCH AN AMAZING WIFE.

I'M ACTUALLY THE. I WOULD SAY THE SHY TWIN, THE INTROVERT OF THE TWO OF US. I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK, BUT I DID HAVE A TWIN MOMENT, ACTUALLY. INTERESTING THAT MICHELLE'S COMMENT WAS ABOUT FEBRUARY, BECAUSE TODAY, FOR SOME RANDOM REASON IN MY OFFICE, I FELT COMPELLED TO SHARE MY. MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF JEFF. AND OF ALL THE THINGS. BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS. THE ONE PIECE THAT STRUCK ME WAS TWO HOURS INTO A PRETTY HEATED DEBATE, HE SPOKE HIS PIECE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY AND THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL SAFE, YOU KNOW, AND OF ALL THE THINGS, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS YOU CAN. YOU CAN LIST THE STATISTICS OF WHAT SOMEBODY DOES.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET TO SEE WHAT WE SEE, WHICH IS THE PERSON THAT THEY ARE. AND I THINK THAT MOMENT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY TO ACTUALLY SEE THE KIND OF PERSON JEFF REALLY IS AS A PERSON. THERE'S A REASON THAT HIS THREE SISTERS SHOW UP AND HAVE SHOWN UP YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR. YOU FIGHT FOR THE THINGS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN.

YOU FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CARE ABOUT. YOU FIGHT FOR THE THINGS THAT THEY CARE ABOUT. AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S ALWAYS CARED ABOUT THE CITY. I THINK I REMEMBER HIM RUNNING. HE'S AN INTROVERT, BY THE WAY, IN CASE YOU GUYS DIDN'T NOTICE.

AND HE SAID, I'M THINKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL. AND WE WERE LIKE, WHY? AND HE SAID, I WANT TO COMMIT. I REMEMBER IT SO VIVIDLY. HE SAYS, I WANT TO CREATE A COMMUNITY WHERE MY CHILDREN WANT TO COME BACK TO. THOSE ARE THE WORDS HE USED. THEY WANT TO COME BACK. AND KUDOS TO YOU. THEY'RE STANDING HERE TONIGHT, BUT THEY WON'T LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.

CONGRATULATIONS, JEFF. WE LOVE YOU. CHRIS IS GONNA CRY.

NO, I'M NOT IT. I LITERALLY WAS EMAILING JEFF TO THE MAYOR.

[01:10:03]

YEAH.

AND IT'S LOSE YOURSELF. AND HE WOULD LISTEN TO THAT AND USE THAT TO HELP GET HIM THROUGH ALL THE CHALLENGES. SO MANY CHALLENGES. AND I THINK HE STILL LISTENS TO IT TODAY.

BUT ANYWAY, I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF YOU, AND THE HARDEST JOB EVER FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND JUST EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN THROUGH. YOU ARE SO STRONG, AND I LOVE YOU, AND I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN THE STUDIO AND TO HAVE A PLANK CHALLENGE WITH YOU, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN, AND I LOVE YOU.

NO, I'M NOT.

WELL, I FIRST MET JEFF IN MY LIVING ROOM. I KNEW HE WAS ON COUNCIL, AND I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS, AND HE. I WAS A TRANSPLANT FROM CHICAGO, AND I'M LIKE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CITY? WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ARTS? SO HE WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. WE HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF DISCUSSION.

AND THEN HE CHALLENGED ME TO APPLY FOR THE CITIZEN BOND COMMITTEE.

AND AT THAT POINT, THAT BEGAN MY JOURNEY OF PUBLIC SERVICE TO FRISCO.

AND I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IN MYSELF HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR JEFF AND HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH ME. TAKING THE TIME OUT AS A COUNCIL MEMBER TO DO THAT, SERVING WITH YOU, JEFF, WAS SUCH AN HONOR.

IT'S INCREDIBLE TO WATCH SOMEBODY WHO IS ABLE TO NOT ONLY UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF EVERY PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, BUT THEN ALSO HAVE THAT 30,000 FOOT VIEW TO UNDERSTAND THE BIG, BIG PICTURE AND THEN ALSO SEE THE GOAL AT THE END THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO, WHICH IS A FRISCO OF UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE. AND HE DID THAT EVERY SINGLE PROJECT. AND WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT HIS 18 YEARS AND YOU DRIVE AROUND OUR CITY, EVERYTHING WILL POINT TO JEFF. TRULY, WE CAN THANK HIM FOR HAVING THE BIG VISION AND THE WILLINGNESS TO PUT HIMSELF OUT THERE AND LEAD US THROUGH.

SO THANK YOU, JEFF, FOR EVERYTHING. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. PROUD TO CALL YOU A FRIEND.

GOOD THING I GET TO GO LAST BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS THE SHORTEST.

COMMENTS.

JEFF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME SERVING THE CITY.

IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PRIVILEGE IN THE TIME THAT WE GOT TO SERVE TOGETHER TO WATCH YOU, TO LEARN FROM YOU. YOU MANAGED TO ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO BRING ALL OF OUR DIFFERING OPINIONS INTO TWO PROJECTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ALL HEARD. AND THAT MADE EVERY PROJECT BETTER.

ABSOLUTELY. DANA, ZACH, MASON.

CAITLIN, THANK YOU FOR LOANING US YOUR DAD FOR LITERALLY YOUR ENTIRE LIVES.

I'VE WATCHED THEM GROW UP SINCE CAITLIN WAS IN A BABY CARRIER. AND IT'S.

IT'S AN HONOR TO CALL ALL OF YOU FRIENDS, FRIENDS OF OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS OF THE CITY. AND TONIGHT THE CITIZENS GIVE YOU YOUR DAD AND YOUR HUSBAND BACK. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS. 19 YEARS.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE SHORT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY HOT AND I'M ALREADY SICK OF MYSELF, BUT IT'S. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR HONORING MY FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING TRIBUTE AND THE KIND WORDS THAT EVERYONE SHARED.

THIS HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY.

WHEN I STARTED IN 2007, LIKE CAITLIN SAID IT WAS, WE WERE IN THE HOSPITAL. SHE WAS JUST A FEW DAYS OLD WHEN I. I DECIDED THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR ME TO RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL. THREE KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF FOUR AT THE TIME, BUT I HAD READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A PROJECT CALLED GRANT PARK, AND IT WAS SO ASPIRATIONAL FOR HOW IT WAS GOING TO SHAPE THE CITY. AND IT MOTIVATED ME SO MUCH. I WAS LIKE, I WANT TO WORK ON THAT PROJECT. I WANT IT TO BE A PARK THAT MY KIDS GROW UP IN, THAT IT'S MEANINGFUL. AND WE FINALLY BROKE GROUND A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME WE WERE PLANNING IT FOR MY GRANDKIDS,

[01:15:01]

THERE'S AN ENERGY. YOU SEE PEOPLE COME THROUGH A LEADERSHIP FRISCO CLASS AND THEY JUST, ONCE THEY STICK THEIR TOE IN THE WATER. THEY JUST WANT TO FIND OTHER WAYS THAT THEY CAN PLUG IN. AND THAT'S HOW WE, YOU KNOW, MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. I'M GOING TO MISS. SO THEY LEARN ABOUT THE MAYOR IN SECOND GRADE. SO I VISITED OVER 100 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS OVER THE YEARS, AND I HAD MY BIT DOWN. YOU CAN STEAL IT, MARK. I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. MOCK ELECTIONS. CHICK FIL A ALWAYS WONDERFUL. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DID A MOCK ZONING CASE, BUT, YOU KNOW, AT THE END, I WOULD ASK THEM, I WOULD SAY, WELL, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THE MAYOR GETS PAID? AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ONE KID WOULD SCREAM, A MILLION DOLLARS. AND ANOTHER WOULD SAY, LIKE, $200,000.

AND, YOU KNOW, SO THOSE WERE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE IN THE AUDIENCE AND THEN I WOULD TELL THEM, WELL, THE MAYOR DOESN'T MAKE ANYTHING.

WHAT. WHY DO YOU DO IT? AND SO I USE THAT TO TEACH THEM THE LESSON OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A VOLUNTEER. AND SO A COMMUNITY IS BUILT ON VOLUNTEERS. AND I HAVE THEM RAISE THEIR HAND AND TELL THEM, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOUR PARENTS COACH YOUR TEAM, YOU KNOW, OR COACH YOUR, YOU KNOW, TEACH YOU PIANO LESSONS OR HELP OUT AT CHURCH ON SUNDAYS, OR COME HERE AND HELP THE TEACHERS OF THE PTA. AND BY THE TIME I KIND OF GET THROUGH IT, EVERY KID HAS RISEN THEIR HAND THAT THEIR PARENT IS SOMEHOW VOLUNTEERING IN A WAY TO HELP BETTER AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY. AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY HOW YOU BUILD A COMMUNITY. THAT BECOMES THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IS EVERYONE IS SEEKING OUT WHERE THEY FIT IN AND WHERE THEY CAN DO THEIR PART. AND NOT EVERYONE WANTS OR CAN BE THE MAYOR OR A COUNCIL MEMBER. IT JUST HAPPENED THAT MY UNIQUE SKILL SET PROBABLY ALIGNED, AND I WAS CRAZY ENOUGH TO DO IT, YOU KNOW, AT THE.

AT THE RIGHT TIME.

BUT THAT WAS MY CALLING FOR WHERE I WAS GOING TO VOLUNTEER MY HOURS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN ASKED HERE RECENTLY, YOU KNOW, IF I KNOW NOW WHAT I KNEW THEN, WOULD I DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN? AND THE ANSWER IS UNEQUIVOCALLY, YES. IT WAS A HIGHLIGHT OF MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER. IT CHALLENGED ME. IT MADE ME GROW AS A PERSON, MADE ME GROW AS A LEADER, MADE ME THINK DIFFERENTLY. YOU KNOW, IT'S COMPLETELY CHANGED THE LIFE OF OUR FAMILY. AND TO BE ABLE TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT YOU HELPED BUILD AND GROW IS A PRETTY. PRETTY SPECIAL FEELING. AND WHEN I SAID. I DID SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, PART OF MY MISSION IS I WANTED A PLACE WHERE MY KIDS WANTED TO MOVE BACK TO. I DIDN'T NECESSARILY KNOW THAT WAS GOING TO BE OUR HOUSE FOREVER. ONE DAY THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE IN A DIFFERENT HOUSE.

BUT. BEFORE.

BEFORE I CONCLUDE, BECAUSE I DO WANT TO READ ONE LAST PROCLAMATION, BUT BEFORE I DO, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU ALL FOR TRUSTING ME, FOR BELIEVING IN OUR FAMILIES, FOR SUPPORTING OUR FAMILY

[01:20:02]

YOU ALLWERE PART OF CARRYING THE CHENEY FAMILY ON YOUR SHOULDERS. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT FOR 18 YEARS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU FOR ENTRUSTING THAT. I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK MY FAMILY.

IN FACT, I'VE WRITTEN A PROCLAMATION FOR EACH OF THEM. I'M NOT GOING TO READ THEM ALL, BUT I AM GOING TO READ ONE AS ANGELIA HANDS THOSE TO THE REST OF MY FAMILY. AND DANA, IF YOU'LL COME, JOIN ME. MY OFFICIAL, LAST SIGNED PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS. PUBLIC SERVICE IS OFTEN MEASURED BY ELECTIONS WON, MEETINGS ATTENDED, AND DECISIONS MADE.

BUT BEHIND EVERY PUBLIC SERVANT STANDS A FAMILY WHOSE QUIET SACRIFICES MAKE THAT SERVICE POSSIBLE. AND WHEREAS. FOR 18 YEARS OF SERVICE ON THE FRISCO CITY COUNCIL AND AS MAYOR, DANA CHENEY GRACIOUSLY SHARED HER HUSBAND WITH THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO, ACCEPTING COUNTLESS EVENINGS, WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, FAMILY CELEBRATIONS AND UNEXPECTED INTERRUPTIONS SO THAT THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY COULD COME FIRST.

AND WHEREAS.

AS FRISCO'S FIRST LADY, DANA CARRIED HERSELF WITH HUMILITY, KINDNESS, UNWAVERING GRACE AND QUIET STRENGTH, NEVER SEEKING RECOGNITION FOR HERSELF, BUT CONSISTENTLY ELEVATING OTHERS AND REPRESENTING THE CITY OF FRISCO WITH DIGNITY, COMPASSION AND AUTHENTICITY.

WHEREAS. DANA UNDERSTOOD THAT LEADERSHIP EXTENDS FAR BEYOND ELECTED OFFICE. OPENING HER HOME, WELCOMING NEIGHBORS, ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTING CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, COMFORTING FAMILIES DURING DIFFICULT MOMENTS, AND CELEBRATING THE MILESTONES THAT TRANSFORMED FRISCO INTO ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT COMMUNITIES.

AND WHEREAS. WHILE RAISING THREE REMARKABLE CHILDREN, DANA EMBRACED THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF PUBLIC LIFE, PROVIDING STEADFAST ENCOURAGEMENT THROUGH SEASONS OF EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH, DIFFICULT DECISIONS, PUBLIC SCRUTINY AND HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY, SERVING AS A TRUSTED CONFIDANT, WISE COUNSELOR, AND CONSTANT SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND PERSPECTIVE.

AND WHEREAS. DANA'S GREATEST LEGACY HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND IN PUBLIC RECOGNITION, BUT IN THE STRENGTH OF HER CHARACTER, THE FAITH SHE LIVES, THE FAMILY SHE NURTURED, THE FRIENDSHIP SHE CULTIVATED, AND THE COUNTLESS ACTS OF KINDNESS THAT QUIETLY TOUCH LIVES THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS. THE CITY OF FRISCO HAS BEEN IMMEASURABLY BLESSED BY THE FIRST LADY OF FRISCO. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME A BETTER HUSBAND, FATHER, LEADER AND MAN.

EVERYTHING WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER HAS BEEN BECAUSE YOU WALKED EVERY STEP OF THIS JOURNEY BESIDE ME.

NOW, THEREFORE, JEFF CHENEY, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FRISCO, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITIZENS OF FRISCO, WITH PROFOUND PERSONAL GRATITUDE, DO HEREBY RECOGNIZE AND HONOR MY WIFE, DANA CHENEY, WHOSE LOVE, SACRIFICE, GRACE AND UNWAVERING SUPPORT MADE 18 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE POSSIBLE.

HER LEGACY WILL FOREVER BE WOVEN INTO THE STORY OF FRISCO.

AND WHERE ARE MY. WHERE'S DANETTE AND KEITH AND EVERYBODY? IT'S SO MANY PEOPLE HERE. OKAY, THERE YOU ALL BACK THERE. SERVING ON FRISCO ISD WAS THE PRIVILEGE OF MY LIFE.

IT'S SUCH A TERRIFIC INSTITUTION. IT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO LEAVE THEM. I KNOW THEY'RE IN VERY, VERY COMPETENT HANDS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRISCO AND FRISCO ISD. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO MR. MERRILL AND THE BOY SCOUTS.

THIS IS A GOOD SEGUE TO THAT BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT ON THE SCHOOL BOARD ALL THE TIME IS HOW INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND ARTICULATE OUR STUDENTS AT FRISCO ISD ARE. AND THEY ARE.

THEY ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ME. YOU GUYS ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ME. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO WHAT I HOPE THIS LITTLE ONE EVENTUALLY TURNS INTO. AND KUDOS TO YOU GUYS AND PLEASE KEEP IT UP AND KNOW THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF EACH OF YOU ALL. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT HAVE JOINED US TONIGHT.

REPRESENTATIVE RICHARDSON, REPRESENTATIVE SHAHEEN, COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE MAYORS OFF FOR A SECOND BECAUSE I'VE GOT YOU IN A SECOND. MAYOR OMAR.

THERE'S A LOT HERE. I SAW REPRESENTATIVE PLACEA HERE. SO MANY HERE THAT I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO PROBABLY MISS THEM ALL. I SAW JUDGE EADS HERE.

THANK YOU, SIR. FRISCO IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE AND I VERY MUCH INTEND TO WORK AND COLLABORATE WITH YOU ALL FOR US TO SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE. AND Y' ALL ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF THAT, AND SO KNOW THAT. AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT, NOT JUST FOR JEFF'S LAST MEETING, BUT FOR MY FIRST ONE, I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

SO THANK YOU ALL. AND I KNOW I MISSED SOME. SO I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. I HAVE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE PRIOR MAYORS OF THIS CITY. THEY ARE A MAJOR MOTIVATION FOR WHY TIFFANY AND I DISCUSSED A IT AT DAY ONE.

AND SO MAYOR MIKE SIMPSON.

MR. SIMPSON, WHERE ARE YOU? MIKE, AGAIN, SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING, YOU HAVE BEEN. YOU AND SANDY BOTH HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE INSPIRATIONS TO ME. I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR THIS CITY. I APPRECIATE YOU BEING DIRECT WITH ME,

BUT NUMBER TWO, FOR YOUR WISDOM AND FOR YOUR VISION THAT PRECEDED JEFF HERE AND ALL THE GREAT THINGS YOU'VE BROUGHT TO THIS CITY, I FIND MYSELF AT TIMES, BECAUSE OF THE THREE OF YOU, WONDERING HOW IN THE HECK DID I END UP RIGHT HERE WHERE I'M STANDING? THIS CITY IS REMARKABLE. THIS CITY IS. I AM BEYOND HUMBLED. I AM BEYOND PRIVILEGED TO THINK THAT I HAVE THE ABILITY TO HELP LEAD WITH THIS COUNCIL, THIS WONDERFUL CITY. AND SO IT'S BECAUSE OF THE THREE OF YOU AND THE PREDECESSORS THAT PRECEDED YOU GUYS. AND SO THANK ALL OF YOU, MAYOR MASSO AND JEFF. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT VERY MUCH.

TO EVERYBODY IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND JUST LOOKING IN THIS ROOM, I CAN SEE INDIVIDUALS THAT I GOT TO MEET BEFORE. OH, I FORGOT ONE. MY LAW FIRM PARTNERS, BYRON HENRY AND TEAM.

YES, I ALMOST GOT IN TROUBLE FOR THAT ONE. SO I HAVE. I HAVE LIVED. WE HAVE LIVED IN FRISCO FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I'VE WORKED FOR 15 YEARS. BYRON AND I HAVE WORKED TOGETHER FOR 20 OUT OF THE 22 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN PRACTICING LAW. AND WE HAD THIS BEAUTIFUL THING GOING TOGETHER.

SO MUCH OF MY TEAM IS HERE. SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE HERE.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TONIGHT TO SUPPORT ME. SO THANK YOU ALL. ONE THING I GOT TO SEE UP FRONT AND CENTER IS JUST HOW BIG AND DIVERSE AND DYNAMIC AND UNIQUE THIS COMMUNITY IS. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCES OF RUNNING FOR A POSITION THAT I RAN FOR.

IT'S HARD. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO WITH IT, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS TO GET TO SEE THE DIFFERENT FAMILIES, THE DIFFERENT HOMES, THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES THAT MAKE UP THE CITY OF FRISCO IN 2026.

AND THAT IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE FROM ME.

AND FOR THAT, I'M VERY GRATEFUL. AND SO THANK ALL OF Y', ALL, FOR COMING HERE TONIGHT TO SUPPORT ME. ONE OF THE THINGS I USED TO SAY, AND I'LL KEEP THIS QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW IT. IT IS HOT, BY THE WAY, THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN WORK ON HERE. LET'S WORK ON THE AC SYSTEM HERE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SAID ON THE CAMPAIGN, AND I'LL SAY IT HERE, IS STRONG FAMILIES ARE WHAT MAKE A STRONG FRISCO. AND PART OF MY JOB AND OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THE NEXT STRONG FAMILY AND THE NEXT STRONG BUSINESS CHOOSES FRISCO, TEXAS. AND THAT'S GOING TO GUIDE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I DO, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND SO THANK ALL OF Y' ALL FOR HELPING MAKE US AND MAKE JEFF AND MEHER AND MIKE LOOK GOOD FOR ALL THESE YEARS. SO THANK YOU ALL. LET ME JUST GIVE YOU ALL ONE MORE ROUND OF APPLAUSE, AND I WILL WRAP UP. I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT RECESS AND TAKE SOME PICTURES AND STUFF, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THIS. I AM GOING TO DREAM BIG IN THIS ROLE, AND I ASK ALL OF MY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO JOIN ME IN THAT. WE ARE A COMMUNITY THAT HAS A LOT AHEAD OF US, A LOT. AND SO I'M GOING TO ASK EACH OF Y' ALL TO PUSH ME, TO PUSH THESE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO THINK BIGGER, TO DO BIGGER THINGS, TO DO BETTER THINGS. WE'RE A VERY DYNAMIC COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A LOT OF FAMILIES HERE, A LOT OF GRADE SCHOOL KIDS HERE. WE GOT A LOT OF LITTLE ONES. WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO THINK BIG. ONE OF THE REASONS I, IN ADDITION TO DICK TEXTING ME TO RUN FOR THIS POSITION, ONE OF THE REASONS I WANTED TO RUN FOR THIS POSITION IS BECAUSE ONE OF THE CHENEY SISTERS SAID IT PERFECTLY RIGHT. IT'S LIKE, I WANT THIS PLACE TO BE A COMMUNITY WHEN THIS ONE GROWS UP AND CAN COME BACK TO. AND SO I WANT EACH OF YOU IN HERE, MANY OF YOU, WHICH ARE PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS, TO KNOW THAT'S WHAT'S MOTIVATING ME AS WELL.

OKAY? AND SO PLEASE HELP US DREAM BIG. HELP US THINK BIG, HELP PUSH US. IF THERE IS AN ISSUE, COME WITH A SOLUTION.

BUT I WANT YOU TO BE. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO CONTINUE TO DREAM BIG, AND I WANT TO CONTINUE TO INNOVATE, AND I WANT TO THINK BIG. AND I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP US ALL WORK TOGETHER TO GET THE CITY GOING IN A BIG WAY. AND SO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT AGAIN.

LET'S HAVE A SHORT RECESS IF WE CAN. YEAH.

[Play Frisco report on activities related to art, culture, events, park development and operations, natural resources, and recreation services.]

ITEM 17, PLAY FRISCO REPORT.

EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SHANNON COATES, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FILLING IN FOR THE INTERIM PLAY FRISCO DIRECTOR MYRA DIAZ. TONIGHT HAVE JUST A FEW SLIDES BECAUSE JULY IS PARK AND REC MONTH AND SO WE ALWAYS DO WANT TO REMIND YOU AND ASK YOU, HAVE YOU PLAYED TODAY? WE DID HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A RECESS AND SOME CAKE, SO I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT FOR HAVE YOU PLAYED? YES, WE HAVE. SO 30 YEARS AGO, THE DEPARTMENT WAS FORMED HAVING ONLY TWO DIRECTORS UP TO THIS POINT, PREPARING NOW TO ADD A THIRD. IT'S REALLY AN EXCITING TIME FOR US AND I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO OUT AND EXPLORE OUR PARKS. WE HAVE MORE THAN 70 NOW FOR YOU TO GO OUT AND VISIT AND JUST MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELVES. THIS IS ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR EVENTS.

I KNOW THAT THERE WERE SOME VETERANS HERE EARLIER THAT WERE HONORED. WE DO A CALLING ALL HEROES EVENT AT THE FRISCO ATHLETIC CENTER EVERY YEAR.

IT'S BECOME ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR EVENTS, AS I MENTIONED, AND WE ARE GEARING UP FOR THAT ON SATURDAY, JULY 25. THE MARKETING TEAM, I ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS. THEY WON AN AWARD OF EXCELLENCE, SO SECOND PLACE FROM TAMIO, THAT'S THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL INFORMATION OFFICERS. THESE ARE PHOTOS THAT THEY TOOK OF A PRESCRIBED BURN. THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY OUT AT FRISCO COMMONS PARK EARLIER THIS YEAR.

THIS IS ONE OF THE PROGRAMS WE'RE MOST PROUD OF HERE. AND THEN FINALLY, PUBLIC ART CONSERVATION. SO I ALWAYS WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE OUR PUBLIC ART PROGRAM, WHICH IS VERY ROBUST HERE IN FRISCO. AND WE'RE SUPER EXCITED THAT SOMEONE, I WOULD SAY VOLUNTEERED, BUT NOT FOR FREE, WAS ABLE TO COME IN AND WORK ON 10,000 INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF GLASS TO BRING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM. SORRY, ONE MORE THING. ALSO WANTED TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT AND A THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY. WE HAD WANTED TO START AND ADOPT A PARK PROGRAM FOR A LONG TIME AND IT'S TAKEN OFF SO, SO WELL. WE'VE GOT SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE ARE JUST WANTING TO ADOPT PARKS THAT I'M REALLY PROUD OF THEIR INVESTMENT AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. THIS IS THE LATEST ADOPTION OF IRON HORSE TRAIL. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

SHANNON, THANK YOU FOR.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMOTION TO ASSISTANT MANAGER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE RESTORATION OF WAVES OF LIGHT WHEN I WAS CHAIR OF PUBLIC ART BOARD. THAT WAS SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS. SO IT'S SO NICE TO SEE IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL HOW IT WAS WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED. SO THANKS. I KNOW IT'S A HARD PIECE TO GET TO, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE PLAY FRISCO TEAM.

Y' ALL HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY THESE LAST FEW DAYS BETWEEN ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY AND ACTIVITIES AROUND IT. SO THANK YOU ALL. Y' ALL PULLED SOME CRAZY HOURS OVER THE LAST FEW FEW DAYS AND THE EVENTS WENT OFF AMAZING. SO FANTASTIC JOB.

[Public Works monthly report on water production, stormwater updates, and service requests.]

THANK YOU.

NOW WE NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM 18, PUBLIC WORKS MONTHLY REPORT.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GABE JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. JUST HAVE A FEW SLIDES. I'LL KEEP IT SHORT IN YOUR PACKETS THE FULL REPORT BUT I'LL GO OVER. THESE ARE MAY HIGHLIGHTS. NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK HAPPENS EVERY MAY, SO MAY 17TH THROUGH THE 23RD. WE CELEBRATED OUR STAFF WITH MULTIPLE EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. THIS IS OUR BURGER COOKOUT DAY AND WE HAD A BIG PHOTO FOR ALL OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS. WE ALSO COORDINATED WITH LIBRARY AND DID A TOUCH A TRUCK EVENT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. A LOT OF DIFFERENT TRUCKS, A LOT OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC. THEY GAVE OUT HATS, THEY GAVE OUT STICKERS. VERY WELL ATTENDED. THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR TO DO IT. HOPEFULLY DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR. JUST ANOTHER PHOTO OF IT AND THEN THE TREE PLANTINGS. WE DID 20 TREES AROUND FC DALLAS AS PART OF THE FIFA EVENT. WE HAD VOLUNTEERS OUT AND JUST A GREAT COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. VERY LITTLE IN THE VERY LEFT HAND CORNER YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT THE TOTALS ARE.

BUT JUST A REMINDER, OUR WATER YEAR IS THE FROM BASICALLY AUGUST 1ST TO THE JULY 31ST EVERY YEAR AS OF MAY WE'RE ABOUT 78% USED OUT OF OUR 15.36 BILLION GALLONS THEIR TOTAL TAKE OR PAY AMOUNT. SO WE ARE TRACKING TO BE ABOUT RIGHT AT THAT BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE END THE OF OF THIS MONTH. SO WE'LL SEE HOW WELL WE DO. AND THEN WE HAVE PUBLISHED OUR ANNUAL DRINKING WATER REPORT THAT'S ON THE WEBSITE TODAY SO YOU CAN CHECK THAT OUT AND THEN A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS FOR UPCOMING EVENTS. JUST A REMINDER SECOND DAY YOU CAN WATER YOUR SECOND DAY THROUGH AUGUST 31ST. WE HAVE AN IRRIGATION STATION JULY 16TH

[01:50:01]

COUNCILOR WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY

[Engineering Services Monthly Report on planning, design, and construction of roadways, traffic control, water utilities, parks, and trails.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MATT DUBOIS, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES. I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF OUR ENGINEERING REPORT. WE DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE OF OUR ACTIVE PROJECTS, PGA PARKWAY, WHICH IS FROM PRESTON ROAD TO COIT ROAD. WE RECENTLY SHIFTED TRAFFIC TO ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION ON THE NEW PAVEMENT. AND AS THE CONTRACTOR IS WRAPPING UP, THEY'RE WORKING ON THE MEDIAN NOW AND WE ANTICIPATE HAVING ALL LANES, ALL SIX LANES OPEN BY EARLY AUGUST AHEAD OF THE SCHOOL. ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT, IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE, ALL OF OUR PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTIVE CAN BE VIEWED ON OUR CIP DASHBOARD, WHICH IS@FRISCOTEXAS.GOV CIPMAP AND IT'S A GOOD WAY FOR YOU OR THE PUBLIC JUST TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR DEPARTMENT. WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANKS, SIR. NOW MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 20, RAIL DISTRICT UPDATE.

AGAIN, MATT DUBOIS, ENGINEERING SERVICES ASSISTANT DIRECTOR. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS OF TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION DOWNTOWN. WE ARE DOWN TO ONE FINAL PROJECT, WHICH IS THE 4TH STREET PLAZA. THEY'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THAT, GETTING ALL THE CUSTOM SHADE STRUCTURES AND THINGS INSTALLED. WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IS, IF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN, WE RECENTLY INSTALLED THE REL DISTRICT BRANDED SIGNAGE ON OUR TWO GATEWAY STRUCTURES AT THE INTERSECTION OF 4TH AND MAIN. THE STEEL FRAMING WHICH YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE WILL BE FOR OUR SHADED RIBBON STRUCTURE IS NEARLY COMPLETE. IT'S COMPLETED ON THE NORTH SIDE AND THE SOUTH SIDE, AND THEY WERE INSTALLING THE LAST TWO PIECES DOWN BY ELM STREET THIS MORNING. ONCE THAT'S HAPPENING, THAT WILL BE WRAPPED IN RIBBON AND LOTS OF SPECIALTY LIGHTS HANGING FROM THERE AS WELL THROUGHOUT THE PLAZA. SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE HARDSCAPE AND THE PAVERS AND THE FURNISHINGS FOR THE PLAZA AND THEY SHOULD BE STARTING THIS WEEK WITH POURING CONCRETE IN. THE REMAINING PIECE OF THE BOXCAR ALLEY, WHICH IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN 3RD STREET AND 5TH STREET, RUNS THROUGH THE PLAZA EAST AND WEST. THIS LAST PIECE IS THE PIECE OF THE ALLEY ADJACENT TO THE NEW GARAGE. WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT A COMPLETION DATE OF THE PLAZA BY THE END OF AUGUST OF NEXT MONTH. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PROVIDED US. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE MOST EASY PROJECT AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS THROUGH THE LAST TWO YEARS AND FROM THE STAFF THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON IT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF US ON THESE PROJECTS.

WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT THE RAIL DISTRICT PARKING GARAGE, IF A PARKING GARAGE COULD BE BEAUTIFUL, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT IS FABULOUS AND SO SECRET.

IF YOU'RE A PHOTOGRAPHER AND YOU GO TO THE VERY TOP, YOU GET A BEAUTIFUL PANORAMIC VIEW OF FRISCO IN THE WATER TOWER. SO ANYWAY, BUT IT IS FABULOUS AND JOB WELL DONE.

IT IS A GREAT PARKING GARAGE AND I'VE TAKEN A FEW OF THOSE PANORAMIC PICTURES MYSELF.

IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO ALSO LOOK DOWN AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PLAZA WITHOUT HAVING TO GO INTO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M GOING

[Rail District Update.]

GOOD EVENING, KEN SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PROJECTS FOR THE CITY. SO A FEW QUICK UPDATES REGARDING OUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE ACTIVITY AND INVESTMENT IN THE RAIL DISTRICT. AND WE'LL START WITH GOOD NEWS REGARDING OUR GIFT CARDS. SO OVER THE LAST MONTH WE SOLD OUT ON THE BONUS GIFT CARDS THAT WERE FUNDED BY OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. SO THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF A $500,000 MATCH TO $500,000 IN GIFT CARD PURCHASES

[01:55:05]

SO THOSE BONUS GIFT CARDS FOR THOSE WHO DID PURCHASE THEM, THOSE DO NEED TO BE SPENT BY SEPTEMBER 29TH. THE PRIVATELY PURCHASED PORTION OF THE DIGITAL GIFT CARD, THAT'S NOT THE BONUS. THOSE DO NOT EXPIRE. AND THEN SO FAR WITH THE SPEND ON THAT BONUS GIFT CARD PLUS THE DIGITAL GIFT CARD IN TOTAL THROUGH FROM JUNE 1ST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN $360,000 IN SPENDING REFLECTING A 36% REDEMPTION RATE. SO IN TOTAL OF ALL THE GIFT CARD PROGRAMS THAT THAT WE HAVE RUN OVER THE COURSE OF THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE'VE SEEN 1.3 MILLION IN PUBLIC SPENDING THROUGH THE BONUS CARD PLUS PRIVATE SPENDING. SO COMBINED. SO YOU CAN STILL PURCHASE DIGITAL GIFT CARDS. IT WON'T HAVE THE BONUS.

YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE LISTED HERE, FRISCORAIL DISTRICT.YIFTY.COM USE THE QR CODE AND ALSO JUST GOOGLE RAIL DISTRICT GIFT CARD AND IT WILL GET YOU TO THE SITE. ALSO HAVE GREAT NEWS TO SHARE REGARDING OUR CDC RAIL DISTRICT REINVESTMENT GRANT PROGRAM. NINE MONTHS INTO THE FISCAL YEAR, WE FULLY ENCUMBERED FUNDING FOR THAT PROGRAM THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF 1.53 MILLION IN MATCHING GRANTS FROM THE CDC THAT ADDRESSES FIVE $300,000 GRANTS AWARDED TO SUPPORT TWO BUSINESS EXPANSIONS AND THREE NEW BUSINESSES. EACH OF THOSE $500,000 GRANTS REFLECT EITHER A MAJOR UPGRADE TO THE INTERIOR OR WITH FOUR OF THOSE FIVE SUBSTANTIAL UPGRADES TO BOTH THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF EXISTING BUILDINGS.

CDC IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON REFINING THE GRANT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR AND ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE AVAILABLE OCTOBER 1ST. SO WITH THAT PROGRAM TO DATE, THROUGH THAT MATCHING GRANT, WE'VE SEEN IN TOTAL 4.13 MILLION IN REINVESTMENT IN THE DISTRICT. SO ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MILLION IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT ON TOP OF A LITTLE OVER ONE AND A HALF MILLION OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT. SO IT'S BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR THAT PROGRAM AND IT'S BEST ILLUSTRATED WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS BEGINNING WITH SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT FRONT 4TH STREET PLAZA. SO THIS IS PRISCO BOOKSELLERS. THAT WILL BE A TOTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THAT FACADE, BRINGING IT UP TO MATCH THE SETBACK OF THE ADJACENT BUILDING AND THEN PROVIDING FOR A NEW STOREFRONT. AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE A NEW PATIO ON THE BACKSIDE ACTIVATING 4TH STREET PLAZA. AND THEN SUMMER MOON RECENTLY RECEIVED GRANT FUNDING FOR A TWO STORY BUILDING EXPANSION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THEIR BUILDING FRONTING TOWARDS 4TH STREET PLAZA. THEY'LL ALSO PROVIDE FOR A NICE PATIO ADJACENT TO THE PLAZA. REALLY ACHIEVING OUR GOAL OF ACTIVATING THE DISTRICT AND SPECIFICALLY FOURTH STREET PLAZA. SO GREAT OUTCOMES FOR THAT PROGRAM. AND THEN I'LL CONCLUDE WITH AN UPDATE ON OUR ADVERTISING GRANT. WE ALSO HAVE SEEN GREAT SUCCESS THERE. WE RECENTLY COMPLETED FUNDING 48 $8,000 ADVERTISING GRANTS TO RAIL DISTRICT BUSINESSES.

SO THAT ALSO WITH PREVIOUS ADVERTISING GRANT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, IN TOTAL THAT REFLECTS JUST OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT BACK IN PROMOTING THE RAIL DISTRICT.

AND THEN OUR MARKETING TEAMS WITH THE CITY EDC VISIT FRISCO, THE CHAMBER CONTINUE TO DO DIGITAL AND PRINT ADVERTISING AND THEN A WHOLE GROUP OF STAFF MEMBERS CONTINUE TO ENGAGE AND WORK WITH THE VARIOUS RAIL DISTRICT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS TO BEGIN THAT GREAT PIVOT FROM FINISHING CAPITAL PROJECTS TO ACTIVATING THE DISTRICT AND GETTING READY TO HAND HAVE SOME GREAT EVENTS HERE STARTING THIS FALL. SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

I HAVE A QUESTION, KIM, ANY QUESTIONS? OH, SO SORRY.

HOW LONG DOES THE BOXCAR PILOT PROGRAM LAST FOR? SO I WILL HAVE TO DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE MATT. I'M SORRY ON THAT.

IT POPPED TO MY MIND, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IT WAS A MAT QUESTION.

SO THEY CAN WE, WE CAN, WE CAN GET A DATE FOR THAT.

I'M JUST CURIOUS AND I'M EXCITED AND HOPEFUL THAT IT WILL LAST LONGER BECAUSE WHEN 4TH STREET PLAZA OPENS AND THAT ENGAGEMENT REALLY FIRES UP, THAT'S WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE, I THINK, UTILIZED A LOT MORE.

SO.

ABSOLUTELY. AND AS THAT PILOT CONTINUES, CERTAINLY POST

[02:00:02]

THANK YOU, KEN.

HAVE WE STARTED THE. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE CALL IT, BUT IT'S THE VAN. THE CIRCULATOR I THINK IS WHAT WE'VE CALLED IT IN DOWNTOWN YET. HAVE WE STARTED THAT AND IF SO, WHAT ARE THE HOURS THAT IT'S OPERATING? SO THAT RELATES TO WHAT BRITTANY JUST REFERENCED. IT HAS STARTED. GENERALLY IT'S A WEEKEND OPERATION. YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE SEVERAL VEHICLES.

THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR PRIMARY VEHICLE QUITE YET, BUT THEY DO HAVE SOME WHITE TRANSIT VEHICLES THAT YOU'LL SEE GOING AROUND ON THE ROUTE.

CURRENTLY, RIDERSHIP IS LIGHT, BUT ONCE AGAIN, ONCE THE PLAZA OPENS UP, ONCE WE GET OUT OF OUR HOT SUMMER WEATHER, I THINK WE'LL SEE A LOT MORE PEOPLE DOWN ON THE RAIL DISTRICT AND A LOT MORE DEMAND FOR THAT SERVICE.

ARE WE GOING TO WRAP THOSE? DO WE KNOW? ARE THEY GOING TO BE BRANDED IN SOME FORM? WE HAVE SOME BRANDING ON THE TRANSIT VEHICLES. I WILL SAY WHEN WE GET THE PRIMARY VEHICLE, THE EGEST VEHICLE, THE WRAPPING AND BRANDING ON THAT AS WELL AS THE STATURE, THAT VEHICLE IS A BIT MORE GRAND AND CERTAINLY WILL STICK OUT A BIT MORE THAN THE TRANSIT VEHICLES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT WITH THE BOXCAR GO ZONE IS ALSO LIVE IN DOWNTOWN AS WELL.

RIGHT.

SO THAT'S ALSO GOING TO BE SERVICING RIDERS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BOXCAR STUFF.

RIGHT.

SO THE GOZONE IS. IS LIVE THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA THAT IT SERVES IN THE CITY.

YES, SIR.

FOLLOW ON QUESTION TO THAT REGARDING THE GRANTS, I'VE HAD SEVERAL RESIDENTS REACH OUT WANTING TO KNOW OR GET INFO ON WHAT THE BUSINESSES ARE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE GRANTS.

YOU SAID THERE WERE FIVE SO FAR. WHAT ARE THOSE BUT BUSINESSES? SURE.

SO TWO OF THEM I MENTIONED HERE, FRISCO BOOKSELLERS, THAT'S A NEW BOOKSTORE THAT WILL BE COMING TO THE RAIL DISTRICT.

SUMMER MOON, OF COURSE, IS A LONG STANDING BUSINESS IN THE DISTRICT. ELAINE'S COCKTAIL KITCHEN. THEY RECEIVED A GRANT FOR A MAJOR INTERIOR IMPROVEMENT. AND THEN WE HAVE TWO NEW BUSINESSES THAT ALSO RECEIVE MAJOR GRANTS. THEY'RE BOTH SITUATED IN EXISTING BUILDINGS WITHIN THE BLOCK BACKING TO 4TH STREET PLAZA. ONE IS A PIZZA RESTAURANT AND THEN ANOTHER IS A HOT DOG RESTAURANT. SO THEY'RE DOING MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS TO BOTH THE INTERIOR, THE FACADE AND PATIO IMPROVEMENTS.

EXCELLENT.

AND THEN JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN STILL APPLYING TO THESE GRANTS, HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GRANT PROGRAM AVAILABLE? THROUGH WHAT FISCAL YEAR? SO IT WILL AT LEAST BE AVAILABLE THROUGH NEXT FISCAL YEAR. IT IS IN THE PROPOSED CDC BUDGET. SO WE WILL HAVE 1.5 MILLION IN FUNDING. AND I DO NEED TO SAY OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM AS WELL AS THE CDC HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE PROGRAM AND FOLKS THAT ARE INTERESTED SHOULD REACH OUT TO OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE.

THANK YOU.

THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON UPON IN ONE MOTION. MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND SEPARATE ACTION.

COMMENTS FOR CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 22. WE DO HAVE THE UPDATED MINUTES FOR THE JUNE 16TH SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO APPROVE. SO I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER

[02:05:01]

MOTION BY MS. RUMMEL.

SECOND BY MR. ALLOTTE THACKER. MR. THACKER ALL.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

MOTION PASSES. SIX ZERO.

NOW, AS TO THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

YES, MAYOR, WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON NUMEROUS OF THE CONSENT AGENDAS FOR ITEM NUMBER 23. MARK PALACIANO.

YEP.

MR. PALACIANO, BEFORE WE BEGIN, LET ME JUST READ THE READOUT.

BEFORE WE START PUBLIC COMMENT AGENDA ITEMS, I WANT TO BRIEFLY REVIEW EXPECTATIONS FOR SPEAKERS.

SPEAKERS.

WE WELCOME EVERY VIEWPOINT.

ENCOURAGE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

PUBLIC COMMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE AGENDA ITEM UNDER DISCUSSION.

TO ENSURE A FAIR AND PRODUCTIVE MEETING. SPEAKERS SHOULD DIRECT THEIR COMMENTS TO THE AGENDA ITEM, AVOID REPETITIVE REMARKS, CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S RULES OF DECORUM. THE PURPOSE OF PUBLIC COMMENT IS TO PROVIDE INPUT TO COUNCIL ON THE MATTER BEFORE US. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO DISRUPT THE MEETING OR ADDRESS UNRELEASED RELATED TOPICS. IF A SPEAKERS DEPARTS FROM THIS EXPECTATION, I WILL ASK THEM TO RETURN THIS TO THE AGENDA ITEM. FURTHER VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN

>>ORFEITING THEIR TIME OR BEING ESCORTED OUT OF THE BUILDING.

YOU MAY PROCEED, SIR.

HELLO, TYRANTS. AND AS A REMINDER, I'M ALLOTTED FIVE MINUTES PER AGENDA ITEM BASED ON FRISCO'S OWN LAW WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT.

SO.

NUMBER 23, ANN ANDERSON, EXPENSES. I'M IN SUPPORT OF APPROVING THIS, BUT I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

WHY DOES FRISCO ALLOW CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO USE THEIR OWN PERSONAL CREDIT CARDS? I DO NOT BELIEVE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD BE ABLE TO BENEFIT BY EARNING CREDIT CARD POINTS FROM TAXPAYER MONEY. I KNOW THIS ISN'T A LAW OR A RULE, BUT IT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SHADY STAFF IN THIS CITY COUNCIL. AND WHAT DID YOU LEARN AT THE PROPERTY TAX WORKSHOP? AND DO YOU PLAN ON SHARING THOSE LEARNINGS WITH FRISCO RESIDENTS? I CAN PERSONALLY TELL YOU TEXAS PROPERTY TAXES ARE OUT OF CONTROL, SO I HOPE YOU'RE ADVOCATING TO REDUCE THEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT BENEFIT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS GOING TO THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP WAS. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING THE EVENT AND YOU PROVIDE ZERO VALUE TO THE OPERATIONS. THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR A CORPORATION WHINING AND DINING CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HELP INFLUENCE YOUR DECISIONS. WAS STAYING AT A CASINO REALLY NECESSARY? I DON'T THINK SO.

AND WHY WAS WES PEARSON'S AMEX USED TO BOOK THE HOTEL FOR THE PGA BUT NOT FOR YOUR AUSTIN HOTEL? WES, WAS THIS ON YOUR CITY AMEX OR WAS IT A PERSONAL CARD WHERE YOU BENEFITED BY RECEIVING CREDIT CARD POINTS? NO COMMENT.

AND I NOTICED YOU ONLY HAD ONE RECEIPT FOR MEALS FOR THIS DAY, FOR THIS THREE DAY TRAVEL TO THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP. DID THE PGA COVER ALL OF YOUR EXPENSES ALONG WITH YOUR FREE TICKET? THIS SEEMS LIKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FREE STUFF FROM A CORPORATION. DID YOU REALLY NEED AN APPETIZER WITH YOUR DINNER AT PAPACITOS? NOW, ALL JOKES ASIDE, YOU ACTUALLY SEEM LIKE AN EMPLOYEE WHO ISN'T ABUSING EXPENSES. SO GOOD FOR YOU. IT JUST SUCKS THAT YOU'RE A TYRANT WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT. NUMBER 24 TOWER SITE LEASE WITH ANTHEM.

NET.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM. I WONDER WHO DETERMINED THE $4,595 MONTHLY RENT PRICE PRICE. I'M SURE T MOBILE WILL LOVE PUTTING THEIR 5G NETWORK ON THIS TOWER. DID YOU KNOW T MOBILE USA IS OWNED BY DEUTSCHE TELEKOM, WHICH IS PARTLY OWNED BY THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT. THEY CREATED VACCINE PASSPORTS FOR THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, DIGITAL IDS FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND THEY HAVE ALL THE TECHNOLOGY TO TURN CITIES INTO 15 MINUTE SMART CITIES THAT TRACK EVERY MOVEMENT OF CITIZENS. ON TOP OF THAT, THAT T MOBILE TRIED FORCING ME TO USE A VACCINE PASSPORT AT THE STONEBRIAR COUNTRY CLUB AT A HOLIDAY PARTY IN 2021.

MR. PALACIANO, PLEASE STAY ON THE AGENDA ITEM 20.

T MOBILE, I THINK WILL HAVE A LEASE ON THIS.

ON THIS TOWER. SO I THINK IT'S VERY RELEVANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CORPORATION. BUT I HAD ENOUGH COMMON SENSE AND COURAGE TO NOT ALLOW T MOBILE.

WE'RE NOT ON ITEM NUMBER 24.

WE'RE ON ITEM NUMBER 23.

I WENT FROM 23 TO 24.

WE'RE NOT ON 24.

I WENT.

OKAY, SO WE WANT ME SIT DOWN.

YOU WANT TO MAKE IT GO EVEN LONGER? I MEAN, I CAN.

I WAS JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE AGENDA ITEMS THAT I HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FOR.

WE CAN DO THIS HOWEVER YOU WANT, SIR.

MR. POSSE, I KNOW. IS YOUR COMMENT. ARE YOU DONE ON 23? YEAH, YEAH, I WENT TO 24

[02:10:01]

OKAY, THEN GO AHEAD AND JUST TAKE A SEAT FOR 23 IF YOU'RE DONE.

I'M ALSO COMPLETED 24, SO TOO.

OKAY, THANK YOU, SIR. NOW MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM ON CONSENT.

AGENDA ITEM 25.

MS. RUMBLE.

YES. AND MARK PALACIANO HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FOR THIS ITEM AS WELL.

OKAY, SIR, TRY SAVING YOU TIME. TOWERS SITE LEASE WITH SKYWAY TOWERS.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM EITHER. WHO DETERMINED THE $5,700 MONTHLY RENT PRICE? WHY IS THIS LEASE 5 YEARS WHEN THE PREVIOUS ONE WAS 30 YEARS? THIS SITE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL BECAUSE IT'S A STEALTH SITE REPLACING A LIGHT POLE.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE CARRIERS COULD POTENTIALLY BE ON THIS ONE. T MOBILE, AT&T AND VERIZON WILL LOVE PUTTING THEIR 5G NETWORKS HERE. DID YOU GUYS HEAR ABOUT T MOBILE RAISING THE PRICES ON CUSTOMERS? LAST WEEK THEY CANCELED GRANDFATHERED PLANS THAT WERE COVERED UNDER THE PRICE LOCK GUARANTEE.

IT'S ALSO CRAZY HOW T MOBILE IS LAYING OFF TEXANS AND AMERICANS.

YEAH, PLEASE STAY ON AGENDA ITEM 25.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT T MOBILE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE ON THIS TOWER. SITE LEASE AGREEMENT.

THAT'S YOUR FIRST WARNING AS TO AGENDA.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SAD THAT T MOBILE IS LAYING OFF TEXANS AND AMERICANS WHILE EMPLOYING FOREIGNERS ON H1B.

MR. PALACIANO, THIS IS WARNING NUMBER TWO.

ALL RIGHT, COOL.

A THIRD ONE WILL FORFEIT THE REMAINDER OF YOUR TIME.

OKAY, COOL.

WE'RE DONE ON NUMBER 25.

FIVE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. NOW CALL UP AGENDA ITEM 26.

MS. RUMMEL, WE HAVE MARK PACANO AS WELL.

NUMBER 26, ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT WITH ENCORE. I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS AGENDA ITEM. IT MAKES SENSE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BREVITY.

THANK YOU, SIR. AGENDA ITEM 27. MS. RUMMEL.

YES. WE HAVE MARK CLAUSIANO AGAIN.

ENCROACHMENT AND LICENSE WITH FENTON DALLAS. I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM. I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT FENTON DALLAS IS OWNED BY A GUY OUT OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. THIS COMPANY WAS CREATED IN 2022 AND IT SOMEHOW INKED SOME BIG REAL ESTATE DEALS IN NORTH TEXAS.

I'D RATHER SEE A COMPANY AND OWN IT FROM TEXAS. TEXAS BENEFIT RATHER THAN A GUY FROM CALIFORNIA.

DONE.

THANK YOU, SIR. AGENDA ITEM 28.

MS. RUMMEL, WE HAVE MARK PALACIANO AGAIN.

GUYS WANT THIS TO STOP.

THEY SHOULD PUT CITIZEN INPUT BACK ON 28, THE CHANGE ORDER FOR THE CONTRACT BETWEEN FRISCO AND ROADWAYS SOLUTIONS.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM. I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE LIMITS THE MAXIMUM CHANGE TO A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO 25% OF THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT. AND THIS CHANGE IS EXACTLY 25%.

THIS CONTRACT IS GOING FROM 1.5 MILLION TO 1.9 MILLION.

WHY ARE YOU GUYS APPROVING BIDS THAT END UP COSTING 25% MORE LATER? IT SEEMS LIKE Y' ALL DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

DONE ON 28.

THANK YOU, SIR. NOW MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 29.

MS. RUMMEL, WE HAVE MARK PALACIANO.

WELL, THEN TELL THEM TO TURN SYSTEM INPUT BACK ON 29. CHANGE ORDER OF THE STANDARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH FLOAT LINE CONSTRUCTION. I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM.

SERIOUSLY, GUYS, ANOTHER CONTRACT WHERE YOU'RE HAVING TO PAY OUT MORE? THIS ONE INCREASES THE CONTRACT 18% FROM 2 MILLION TO 2.15 MILLION.

THANK YOU, SIR. NOW MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 30.

MS. RUMMEL, WE HAVE MARK PALACIANO, 30. A FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE SPORTS FACILITY LEASE WITH FIELD HOUSE USA. I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM.

RAISE THE LEASE PRICE. THESE COMPANIES ARE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY OFF FRISCO AND SO CALLED SPORTS TOURISM. THEY DIDN'T BUILD A NEW PICKLEBALL COURT BECAUSE THEY'RE LOSING MONEY. THEY BUILT IT TO GENERATE MORE MONEY. SO FRISCO RESIDENTS SHOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS EXTENSION.

THANK YOU, SIR. MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 31. MS. RUMMEL.

GRANT FROM FEMA FOR STAFFING FOR ADEQUATE FIRE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE. I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM BECAUSE IT HELPS THE FIREFIGHTERS.

HOWEVER, I FIND IT INTERESTING FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,

[02:15:01]

THANK YOU, SIR. MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 32. MS. RUMBLE, WE HAVE MARK PALACIANO.

OOPS. EASIER.

2026 COLLIN COUNTY PROJECT FUNDING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. I SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM.

HOWEVER, I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT TAXPAYERS WILL PAY FOR PARKS WHILE CORPORATIONS RECEIVE KICKBACKS.

CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THESE PARKS TO DO BUSINESS IN FRISCO AND COLLIN COUNTY.

$2 MILLION FOR A PLAYGROUND AND SPLASH PAD SEEMS A BIT EXCESSIVE FOR ME, BUT I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN CONSTRUCTION. I JUST KNOW ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE CORRUPT.

AND I DON'T TRUST YOU GUYS ARE FOCUSED ON THE BEST INTERESTS FOR YOUR CITIZENS. YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF WEALTHIER WITH THE POSITION. AND EVERYONE SAW THAT WITH MAYOR CHENEY.

THANK YOU, SIR. MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 33.

MS. RUMMEL, WE HAVE MARK PALACIANO.

SO THIS WILL BE.

I SIGNED UP FOR 33 AND 34.

WE'LL JUST COMBINE IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME THING.

PROPERTY SALE TO DOMINION AT PANTHER CREEK.

MR. BLACIANO, IT'S NOT THE SAME THING. THEY'RE SEPARATE.

OKAY, COOL.

WELL, THEN I'LL SAY THE SAME THING TWICE. WES, I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS AGENDA ITEM. I KNOW I'M IGNORANT, BUT I'M READING.

BUT AM I READING THIS RIGHT? THAT THE HOA PURCHASED 17 ACRES FROM THE CITY FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS? NO COMMENT. WES. OKAY.

I COULD HAVE BID ON THIS FOR A THOUSAND AND ONE DOLLARS AND OWN THIS PROPERTY. I UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT DATES BACK TO 2004, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE HOA GETS TO PURCHASE THIS LAND FOR $1,000. I GOT TO START PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO HOW THESE CITY LEVEL LAND DEALS WORK, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY. OPPORTUNITY FOR MONEY TO BE MADE.

THANK YOU, SIR. MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 34, WHICH I JUST. WHICH I BELIEVE YOU'VE SIGNED UP FOR, SO YOU MAY PROCEED.

DO NOT HAVE A CARD FOR 34 OR ANY OF THE FUTURE.

OH, I WROTE 33 AND 34.

WE'RE GOOD.

THANK YOU, GUYS. I'LL SEE YOU NEXT MEETING.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ENTERTAINMENT MOTION.

MAYOR, IF YOU'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION, I'D LIKE TO APPROVE ITEMS 23 THROUGH 37 IN THE CONSENT AGENDA.

YES.

NOW, AS TO ITEM 42. MS. RUMMEL.

YES. WE HAVE PAUL JESSEN TO COME SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 42.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

I'M MR. JESSEN.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I AM GOOD.

NOW, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS, MR. HILL. MY NAME IS PAUL JEFFERSON. I LIVE ON 5857 AND LEGACY DRIVE. MY QUESTION IS I PUT DOWN 42 FOR A REASON. AND I REALLY HAVE JUST A QUICK QUESTION. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPECIAL USE PERMIT REZONING AND AMENDING ZONING, SO I WASN'T ABLE TO KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS THESE. AND IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE THREE? AND NOW

[02:20:02]

MR. JESSEN, PAUL JOHN LETLER.

EXCUSE ME.

WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

SO WHAT THIS REQUEST IS. SO IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST.

THEY'RE REQUESTING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. SO SOME USES REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS.

AND SO THIS IS REQUIRING A REQUEST TO. REQUESTING A CELL TOWER TO BE LOCATED WHERE THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT IS LOCATED. SO THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE A GREAT LOCATION. THE COUNCIL APPROVED THIS. 5 TO 0 TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE THEIR ORDINANCE.

MY QUESTION. I'M SORRY, WHEN I SEE THE WORD SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND ZONING. REZONING RATHER.

AND ZONING. I DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE THREE.

SO THE BASE ZONING IS REMAINING THE SAME. THE BASE ZONING DOESN'T CHANGE. THE REQUEST IS ACTUALLY FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CELL TOWER ON THE PROPERTY. THAT'S IT.

OKAY. SO THE. SO THE ZONING TODAY DOESN'T ALLOW A CELL TOWER.

MR. JESS.

AND I'M. I'M SPEAKING. BUT IN ORDER TO HAVE A CELL TOWER, THEY NEED A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

THE COUNCIL'S ALREADY APPROVED THIS, AND THIS ITEM IS JUST BEING RATIFIED BASED ON THE DIRECTION.

DIRECTION THAT COUNCIL GAVE STAFF.

YES, SIR. HAPPY TO DO THAT.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR. LETLER.

THANK YOU, MR. JESSEN.

WITH THAT, MAYOR, I'D MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 42.

STILL MOVED.

MOTION PASSES. SIX. ZERO.

AND. MAYOR, WE DO HAVE FOUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. WE WILL START WITH ARADIA SHARMA.

HI. MY NAME IS ARADIA SHARMA AND I LIVE IN GREYHAW IN A HOUSE THAT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE BUSINESS IN QUESTION.

ME AND MY FRIENDS ALWAYS PLAY OUTSIDE TOGETHER. WE FEEL SAFE, WORRY LESS, AND MOST IMPORTANT, SECURE. WITHOUT A BARRIER BETWEEN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BUSINESS, WE WILL NEVER FEEL THAT SECURITY AGAIN.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

MARIANNE HOUSTON.

I'M A LITTLE TALLER. GOOD EVENING. I'M MIRIAM HOUSTON. I LIVE ON BURR OAK DRIVE, JUST DOWN FROM ARADIA. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 13 YEARS.

YEARS.

WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THIS REZONING OR THE CHANGE TO THE CORRIDOR. WE'VE WATCHED IT DEVELOP OVER THAT TIME. OUR CONCERNS ARE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE SITE CONDITIONS. I ATTENDED THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HEARING SPECIFICALLY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROPOSAL. THE MEETING MOVED QUICKLY, SO TONIGHT I WANT TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR CONCERNS AND ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON A FEW POINTS. I'M HAPPY TO BE CORRECTED IF I'VE MISUNDERSTOOD ANYTHING FROM THE EARLIER DISCUSSION.

TO BE CLEAR, WE HAVE NO COMPLAINT ABOUT THE BUSINESS. EUROTECH AUTO HOUSE SPECIFICALLY. I PERSONALLY HAD ONE OF MY FOUR PREVIOUS CARS. I TRADED IN SERVICE THERE. THIS AREA HAS HAD SOME ONGOING ISSUES, BUT THINGS HAVE NOTICEABLY INCREASED AS THE EUROTECH HAS EXPANDED ITS BUSINESS. FIRST, THE FENCE PLOT ONE, WHERE THE SHOP OPERATES OUT OF THE METAL BUILDING, IS NOW GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN EIGHT FOOT MASONRY FENCE AS WE UNDERSTOOD IT FROM EARLIER.

BUT IT CANNOT BE BUILT BEHIND

[02:25:02]

THIRD, PARKING. WE UNDERSTAND BUSINESS PARKING. VILLA IS SET UP TO STOP AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WE DO APPRECIATE THAT. WE ASKED IT TO BE PAIRED WITH REAL ENFORCEMENT SINCE IT'S ALREADY SPREAD WELL BEYOND THE STREET ITSELF. THIS ISN'T A HYPOTHETICAL CONCERN ABOUT FOLLOW THROUGH. THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY A SENSE ON THE PROPERTY THAT BLOCKED THE VIEW AND THE NOISE FROM 423. OUR UNDERSTANDING IT WAS REMOVED AFTER THE OWNERS WERE CITED BY THE CITY FOR FAILING TO MAINTAIN IT RATHER THAN REPAIR IT. BETWEEN THAT AND THE CUT CHAIN LINK FENCE BEHIND THE METAL BUILDING, THIS PROPERTY HAS A TRACK RECORD OF FENCING BEING REMOVED OR BYPASSED RATHER THAN MAINTAINED. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY WE'RE ASKING THESE COMMITMENTS BE WRITTEN INTO TONIGHT'S ORDINANCE AS ORDINANCE AS BINDING CONDITIONS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MA'.

AM.

NEXT WE HAVE STACY RODRIGUEZ IS.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS STACEY RODRIGUEZ AND I LIVE IN GREYHAWK. I'M ACTUALLY IN THE HOUSE THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE BUSINESS IN QUESTION.

AND SO I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED SOLUTION, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A SUGGESTION TO ADD A CONDITION TO THAT. SO JUST TO PROVIDE YOU GUYS SOME BACKGROUND, AND I DON'T WANT TO DUPLICATE WHAT MIRIAM HAD ALREADY WENT OVER, BUT I MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD EIGHT YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A FENCE BARRIER BETWEEN THE BUSINESS AND MY HOME. HOME IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AT SOME POINT, LIKE SHE SAID, THAT GOT TORN DOWN MY SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. IS USED FOR PEOPLE CUTTING THROUGH TO THE BUSINESS SIDE. IT'S MY VIEW OUT MY FRONT DOOR IS A LOVELY SINGLE WIDE TRAILER THAT I GET TO LOOK AT EVERY TIME I STEP OUT OF MY FRONT DOOR. SO IT'S NOT PLEASANT. ALSO TO THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. I WAS TOLD BY THE, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE WIFE OF THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT TO NOT LET MY CHILDREN PLAY OUTSIDE IN MY FRONT YARD. THAT WAS INITIALLY THERE WAS A SMALL GAP THAT I ENDED UP COMING TO THE CITY AND GETTING THAT CLOSED.

BUT SO WHENEVER BEFORE THAT GAP WAS CLOSED, SHE TOLD ME, DON'T LET YOUR KIDS OUT IN THE FRONT YARD BECAUSE IF MY DOG GETS OUT, IT MIGHT KILL YOUR CHILD. SO IT'S LIKE THAT'S A HUGE ISSUE.

I CAME STRAIGHT TO THE CITY OF FRISCO AND WE GOT THE GAP CLOSED. BUT THEN THE BARRIER FENCE WENT DOWN. NOT THE GAP THAT I PAID FOR TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT THE REST OF THE FENCE GOT TORN DOWN BECAUSE THEY KEPT GETTING SITED. THE INTERESTING PART IS THEN I WENT TO MY HOA TRYING TO FIGHT IT THAT WAY TO GET MY HOA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, I LEARNED THAT THE HOA DOESN'T OWN THE LITTLE TINY SLIVER OF LAND BETWEEN THE CURB AND THE BUSINESS. THERE IS THE ORIGINAL BUILDER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD OWNS THAT LAND. SO UNFORTUNATELY MY HOA CAN'T LEGALLY DO ANYTHING FOR A BARRIER SITUATION. SO EVERYBODY IN THE GREYHAWK THAT LIVES ON THAT WING OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS STUCK.

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO. AND SO I WANTED TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN LIKE IT'S REALLY OUR ONLY, OUR ONLY CHANCE TO GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THAT. AND SO THEN THAT

[02:30:01]

CURRENTLY THE BUSINESS IS USING OUR RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO PARK VEHICLES AS WELL AS THEY HAVE.

IF YOU GO LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL SEE TRASH JUST VISUALLY STACKED UP ON THE CURB. THERE IS METAL ROOFING THAT HAS FALLEN OFF AND IS DEBRIS. THAT'S WHAT WE GET TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

SO THE PROPOSED EIGHT FOOT MASONRY BARRIER WALL IS VERY ATTRACTIVE TO ME. THE ISSUE IS IT'S ONLY FOR LONG LOT ONE AND NOT LOT TWO, BUT IT DOES EXTEND ALL THE WAY.

SO IF WE'RE ONLY GOING TO PUT UP A BARRIER WALL FOR LOT ONE, IT REALLY DOESN'T DO MUCH. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, LOT ONE VERSUS LOT TWO, LIKE IT STILL IS GOING TO LEAVE A LARGE GAP AND A LARGE LACK OF SECURITY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO KEEP OUR FAMILIES SAFE. SO MY ASK IS, IS THAT RATHER THAN WAITING FOR THE WHAT IF OR IF THE PROPERTY CAN. CAN SELL OR WHAT HAVE YOU, LIKE, LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND EXTEND WITH THE CONDITION THAT THEY HAVE TO BUILD THE BARRIER WALL, THE COMPLETE LOT ONE AND LOT TWO, THAT WOULD COMPLETELY PROVIDE A BARRIER FOR THE GREYHAWK NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN SEPARATE THE RESIDENTIAL FROM THE COMMERCIAL. SO WHILE THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE A SMALL ISSUE TO SOME PEOPLE, IT AFFECTS US ON A DAILY CADENCE. AND SO I KIND OF LOST MY SPOT HERE, BUT I THINK I'M OUT OF TIME.

BUT THE WALL, IT WOULD JUST HELP US IN SO MANY WAYS FOR NOT ONLY THE SAFETY, BUT ALSO JUST TO HELP WITH PRIVACY, REDUCE NOISE, AND IMPORTANTLY, KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MA'.

AM.

AND THE LAST CARD WE HAD IS JOSEPH HOUSTON. MRS. HOUSTON, WAS THAT YOUR HUSBAND YOU MENTIONED EARLIER? HAD TO LEAVE. OKAY, SO THEN, MAYOR HILL, WE ARE COMPLETE WITH THE CITIZENS INPUT.

THANK YOU. NOW FOR STAFF PRESENTATION. MR. LETTLER, GOING DOWN THE LINE, WE GOT HAVE MOST OF THAT ADDRESS WHAT THE SPEAKERS HAVE MENTIONED. JOHN LETLER, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. IF I HAVE THE. OKAY, SO THIS IS THE PROP DAY.

DID WE NOT ALREADY CLOSE THE.

OKAY, HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

OKAY.

AND I'LL MOVE TO ASK CALL FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVE.

SECOND MOTION BY MS. R.

SECOND BY MR. ALLAD. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

MOTION PASSES. SIX, ZERO.

OKAY, NOW PROCEED, SIR.

SO THIS PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED BACK IN 1999. AND SO THERE'S BEEN A VARIETY OF USES ON THE PROPERTY. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THE CITY'S BEEN DEALING WITH FOR ABOUT 19 YEARS. AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH MEDIATION, AND WE'VE GOT TO THIS POINT WHERE THERE APPEARS TO BE RESOLUTION. THEY HAVE SIGNED THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. BUT WITH THIS, THE CITY IS THE APPLICANT ON THIS ZONING CASE. THE REQUESTED ZONING IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BASE ZONING OF OFFICE ONE AND TOWNHOME. SO EITHER USES COULD APPLY ON THIS PROPERTY, AND THAT MAY CHANGE OVER THE FUTURE. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW ON LOT 1, LOT 1 CAN BE EXPANDED UP TO 0.8 ACRES ON THE SITE. AND SO THEIR SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTH, APPROXIMATELY ABOUT RIGHT HERE. LOT ONE WILL BE EXPANDED. THE. THE FINAL PLATFORM FOR THAT WILL BE ON THE AUGUST 11TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THE WHAT? DO IT AGAIN. OKAY, SO IT'S RIGHT ABOUT THIS LOCATION TO EXPAND IT. RIGHT NOW, LOT ONE IS THIS, AND THEN LOT TWO IS THE REST.

SO LOT ONE WILL BE EXPANDED.

THE AUTOMOTIVE USE, WHICH IS DEFINED WITHIN THIS ORDINANCE, THAT'S WHAT'S PERMITTED ONLY ON THAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT VEHICLES BEING PARKED ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, THAT'S A CONCERN. WITHIN THIS ORDINANCE WE SPECIFY THAT ANY WORKER FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE, ANY CAR BEING WORKED ON OR WHATNOT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY STORED ON LOT 1. CARS CANNOT BE KEPT OUTSIDE LONGER THAN SEVEN DAYS. THEY NEED TO BE INDOORS OR THEY NEED TO BE OUT THE PROPERTY. SO WE'RE TAKING CARE

[02:35:01]

SO PUTTING IN THE SCREENING WALL NOW WOULD BE PREMATURE.

THIS IS WHAT OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS REQUIRE IS WHEN THAT LOT IS DEVELOPED, THAT'S WHEN THE SCREENING WALL GOES IN.

THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES, AS THE SPEAKERS HAD NOTED, AN 8 FOOT MASONRY WALL WILL BE INSTALLED ALONG WITH A 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE EDGE WITH TREES 30FT ON CENTER. IT WILL ALSO REQUIRE THE 25 FOOT LANDSCAPE EDGE ALONG 423 WITH TREES INSTALLED AND A 6 FOOT SIDEWALK. AND ALL OF THAT WILL BE DONE BY AUGUST 18TH OF 2027 AT THE LATEST. SO THAT IS TIED DOWN INTO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.

SOME OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED ABOUT THE MOBILE HOME OUT THERE, THE THREE SHEDS, THOSE ARE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED WITHIN ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO WITH THE APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE GOING STATED IN AUGUST. SO THAT SITE IS GETTING CLEANED UP COMPARED TO WHAT'S OUT THERE TODAY. SO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS REQUIRED TO BE REMOVING THOSE STRUCTURES OFF THE SITE. AND THEN ON THE METAL BUILDING THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE, YOU CAN'T PUT A MASONRY WALL THERE ON THE TIME BEING. SO WE AGREED TO SAY NO MASONRY WALL.

HOWEVER, IF THEY WANT TO, THEY CAN NEVER EXPAND BUILDING TWO.

THAT'S THE MIDDLE BUILDING ON THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE.

IF THEY WANT TO EXPAND BUILDING ONE, AND THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT'S CLOSEST TO 423, BUILDING TWO MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE THEY'RE ISSUED A BILLING PERMIT TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND THAT BUILDING OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO PUT UP A NEW BUILDING FOR THE USE, THEN THEY HAVE TO REMOVE BOTH BUILDINGS BEFORE THEY CAN START CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY. SO THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN NEGOTIATING CITY ATTORNEYS AND BEING INVOLVED. AND SO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID MEET ON IT EARLIER TODAY, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS. AND THE NEXT ITEM SHOULD YOU GO TO, THAT WILL BE APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE. I'M JUST SAYING I'M ADDRESSING MOST OF THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE MENTIONED.

NOW.

ONE TIME, YOU KNOW, THEY TALKED ABOUT THE WOODEN FENCE.

FROM WHAT I RECALL, THAT WOODEN FENCE WAS GETTING HELD UP BY BOARDS BEING STUCK UP BECAUSE IT WAS LEANING HEAVILY AND SO TRYING TO GET THE PROPERTY OWNER TO CLEAN IT. IT WAS BECOMING A NUISANCE. AND SO I DON'T REMEMBER THE PARTICULARS AT THAT, BUT IT GOT REMOVED.

THERE WAS NO REQUIREMENT THAT WE COULD SAY YOU HAD TO PUT IN A PRIVACY FENCE.

ONE THING THAT SHE HIGHLIGHTED THAT WITHOUT PUTTING SOMETHING IN LOT NUMBER TWO, IT REALLY DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO DO LOT NUMBER ONE. DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY FROM HER? WELL, SHE, BECAUSE OF THE TRASH IS GOING TO STILL COME THROUGH OR WHATEVER. SHE I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

I'M GOING OUT THERE IF THERE'S TRASH AND THEN THAT'S SOMETHING I WILL SEND CODE ENFORCEMENT OUT TO.

BUT LOT TWO IS GOING TO BE CLEANED UP COMPARED TO WHAT'S OUT THERE TODAY.

WITH APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE AND WHAT'S IN THE AGREEMENT, THEY GOT TO CLEAN THIS SITE UP UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

HAVE YOU WORKED WITH THE HOA ON THIS ISSUE? NO, WE WERE MOVING QUICKLY ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER.

OH, BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR LIKE 19 YEARS.

IT'S BEEN GOING ON, IT'S BEEN A SERIES. BUT IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS WE'VE BEEN IN MEDIATION AND THINGS HAVE MOVED QUICKLY TO, WE'VE GOT TO A POINT THAT WE CONSIDER TO BE A VERY GOOD POSITION.

SO WHAT, OH, GO AHEAD.

MR. SO WHAT IS THE, WHAT IS THE, I GUESS THE RETICENCE IN FINISHING OUT THAT WALL? WELL, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU'RE PUTTING IN A WELL, IT'S NOT PART OF THE AGREEMENT. SECOND, WE DON'T REQUIRE THE WALL TO GO IN UNTIL THERE'S DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE SITE WILL BE GRADED AND SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GRADES WILL ACTUALLY BE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS WILL BE. AND SECOND, AND YOU'RE THERE'S A BASE ZONING OF TOWNHOMES AND THIS COULD DEVELOP AS TOWNHOMES.

THAT WOULD BE FRONTING ONTO VIOLA.

SO TO GO AHEAD, I WAS GOING TO CLARIFY. OKAY, SO, SO YOU MAY HAVE SAID THIS AND I MISSED

[02:40:03]

THERE'S A TREE RIGHT THERE THAT YOU CAN'T SEE. ALL THOSE ARE BEING REMOVED OR HAVE BEEN REMOVED. THESE OTHER BUILDINGS THAT ARE ON THIS PHOTOGRAPH EXIST TODAY.

AND THEY'RE REMOVING ALL THE FIREWOOD EQUIPMENT.

NOW.

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELL FIREWOOD SO SOMEBODY ELSE COULD COME BACK LATER ON. BUT THE OWNER HAS TOLD ME TODAY THEY'RE REMOVING THE FIREWOOD AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SELL IT.

SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT FOR UP TO FOUR YEARS. SO THERE IS GOING TO. AND THEN LOT TWO WILL HAVE THE SAME TYPES OF PERIMETER WORK WHEN THE LAND IS DEVELOPED, WHICH IS WHAT THE ORDINANCE CALLS FOR.

BEFORE YOU DEVELOP IT. YOU DON'T TYPICALLY BUILD YOUR WALLS AND YOUR SIDEWALKS AND YOUR LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. SO IF THIS. IF THE PROPERTY IN LOT TWO, WHICH IS THE SOUTHERN PORTION, DEVELOPS, THEN AT THAT POINT THAT LANDOWNER WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO BUILD THOSE. AND THAT'S IN THE CONTRACT. I THINK WE'VE.

AS BEST I COULD UNDERSTAND HER QUESTION. WE ANSWERED THEM. WE DIDN'T ANSWER ALL OF THEM. I CAN TELL YOU MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR IT, BUT I DO THINK WE DID ANSWER THEM.

JOHN, WHAT WAS THE ONE YOU SAID THERE WERE A COUPLE THINGS THAT BOTH LOVELY LADIES SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T ADDRESS WAS THERE.

YOU SAID THERE WAS A COUPLE THINGS.

MAYBE.

WELL, THE ONE IS REQUESTING THE WALL TO BE EXTENDED ACROSS LOT TWO.

OKAY.

I MEAN, NO. I MEAN, WE DON'T.

YEAH. BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE OTHER ONE WAS? I. I DO.

SO, MR. LETTLER, A COUPLE THINGS ABOUT IT. ARE THERE ANY MITIGATIONS THAT WE CAN.

MITIGATIONS.

ARE THERE ANY BUFFERS THAT WE CAN PUT INTO PLACE? ARE THERE ANY MECHANISMS WE CAN PUT IN, WHICH ADDRESSES SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE TRASH BEING, YOU KNOW.

WELL. WELL, THERE'S TRASH BLOWN. YEAH. I'LL HAVE CODE INVOLVED MONITORING THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS A HISTORY OF THE.

OF THE CITY FOLLOWING UP ON BEING TRASH AND THEY'LL GO OUT AND THEY'LL REMEDY IT. SO THERE'S A HISTORY OF THIS HISTORY. THE OWNER HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CLEAN UP THIS AREA AROUND WHERE THE AUTOMOTIVE USE IS GOING TO BE. AND ON THE CARS.

HE TOLD ME TODAY THAT SOME OF THE. THOSE CARS ARE NOT CARS THAT RELATE TO THE AUTOMOTIVE, BUT THEY RELATE TO A LANDOWNER WHO IS TO THE NORTH. AND I HAVEN'T INVESTIGATED. I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THAT TODAY. SO WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT. IN REGARD TO THE LAND THAT IS TO THE EAST THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT, IT IS ACCURATE THAT IT'S NOT OWNED BY GREYHAWK AND IT'S NOT OWNED BY THE RIDGELIES. THE CITY IS ATTEMPTING TO EMBED INVESTIGATE THAT FURTHER. WE.

IT'S MORE THAN THAT, BUT THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN THERE? SO THAT'S NOT PART OF THE.

THIS SPECIAL ORDINANCE.

NO. BECAUSE, MR. THE RIDGELEYS DON'T OWN IT. WE DON'T.

YEAH.

OKAY.

BUT ALONG WITH THAT, I THINK IT'S ALREADY BEEN REMEDIED. BUT MY EARS PERK UP WHENEVER I HEAR THAT, HEY, DON'T LET YOUR KIDS GO OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE ANIMAL I OWN MIGHT ATTACK YOUR KIDS.

THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO PUT IT, BUT IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN OR PROVIDE A POINT OF ESCALATION FOR THE FAMILIES THAT LIVE THERE, IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPENS AGAIN, THAT THEY HAVE A MECHANISM TO CONTACT THE CITY.

YOU CAN CONTACT THE CITY.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITHIN THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS ONE, MAKING SURE THE AUTOMOTIVE USE IS NOT PARKING CARS ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. YES, THAT WILL GO A BIG STEP FORWARD. NUMBER TWO, THAT NEEDS TO BE CONTAINED ON LOT ONE, THE OPERATION OF THE AUTOMOTIVE. THREE, THEY CANNOT HAVE CARS STORED OUTSIDE FOR MORE THAN SEVEN DAYS. SO A QUICK TURNAROUND.

[02:45:17]

OH, I'M SORRY, NO, IT'S IN THE.

IT'S IN THE PD IT IS IN THE AGREEMENT.

SO, COUNCILMAN THACKER, I THINK THE. THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION WAS IF THEY DO HAVE AN ESCALATION WHERE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DOG GETS OUT THE PATH FOR THAT IS 911.

ABSOLUTELY.

THAT BE ANIMAL SERVICES ENFORCEMENT OR WHATEVER, THEY WOULD PROBABLY PUSH IT OVER TO ANIMAL SERVICES. BUT IF THERE'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION, IT BECOMES A 911 CALL.

SO PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN UTILIZING THAT SERVICE.

YES. YEAH.

SO JOHN, COULD YOU JUST CLARIFY FOR ME REAL QUICK EXACTLY WHERE THE MASONARY WALL WILL BE? I THINK THAT WILL BE HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND.

SO THE MASONRY WALL ON LOT 1 WILL BE COMING DOWN TO THE SOUTHERN POINT OF OF LOT 1.

IS THERE ANY CONNECTION THAT'S GOING TO GO BACK TOWARDS 423 TO KEEP THAT ONE AREA CONTAINED? NO, THERE'S NOT. NOT REQUIRED.

THE ONLY TIME THE WALL IS REQUIRED IS SUBJECT TO THE ZONING. WHEN YOU GOT COMMERCIAL USE NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL, WE REQUIRE THAT.

I WOULD NOT WANT TO VENTURE INTO THAT WITH SINCE THE MEDIATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITH THEM FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS.

BUT IT WOULD BE UP FOR DISCUSSION WHEN THEY COME FORWARD.

NOW, ONE THING THEY MAY, MAY DO ON THEIR OWN, WHICH THEY COULD, THEY COULD PUT UP SOME TYPE OF ORNAMENTAL FENCING TO SECURE THE CARS. THEY COULD DO THAT ON THEIR OWN. THEY JUST HAVE TO MEET THE CITY'S ORDINANCES FOR THAT.

THANK YOU.

YOU.

EXCELLENT QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS, JOHN, BUT I THINK YOU'VE ADDRESSED HOLISTICALLY THE ISSUES THAT WERE SURFACED.

IF I'M TRACKING CORRECTLY. I KNOW THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF THE WALL BARRIERS FOR LOT 2. YOU ADDRESSED THE PARKED CARS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE STREET. YOU ADDRESS THE DEBRIS AND HOW TO ENSURE THAT THAT'S HANDLED THROUGH ENFORCEMENT. SO I THINK YOU COVERED ALL OF THE BASES HERE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AGAIN WITH THE RESIDENTS HERE.

IF THEY DO HAVE THINGS WITH THE DEBRIS, THEY CAN CONTACT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND THEN WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH THAT. YES. NO.

HAVE YOU RECEIVED.

WHOA.

YOU SEE ROOT COMPLAINTS ON WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DEBRIS? YEAH, NO, I HAVEN'T.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT? I WENT BY THERE ON SUNDAY JUST LOOKING AT IT NOW. THERE IS SOME TRASH THAT'S PILED UP, BUT THAT'S ON THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY, BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WAS BLOWN ACROSS THE STREET. NOT TO SAY IT MAY HAVE BEEN THERE EARLIER AND SOMEBODY PICKED IT UP, BUT I DIDN'T WITNESS THAT.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? SO THE LACE SAID SHE HAD A PHOTOGRAPH. IF THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF TRASH ON THE PERSON'S PROPERTY, PLEASE CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT.

OKAY.

JOHN WILL FOLLOW UP WITH HER CODE.

CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR THERE FOR.

ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? MR. A LOT.

I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK HER QUESTION, QUESTION WHO SHE COMPLAINED TO AND SHE SAID NO ONE. NO ONE RESPONDED.

SO I.

THAT'S ALL I HAD.

WELL, I WILL CHECK WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT IN THE MORNING BECAUSE WE DO KEEP RECORDS OF EMAILS, CALLS THAT COME IN. BUT I WILL SAY THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FENCE. IT WAS LEANING BOARDS WERE HOLDING IT UP. IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I WOULD ONLY THEN FOLLOW UP WITH JUST ONE FINAL COMMENT, THAT THIS IS A PROPERTY THAT WE'VE WANTED TO DO MORE WITH.

WE'VE WANTED TO CLEAN UP AND WE'VE WANTED TO MAKE. MAKE IT BETTER FOR NOT JUST THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT FOR THIS ENTIRE AREA.
