JUST SO PEOPLE WATCHING KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING WE ELECT EVERY SINGLE YEAR FOLLOWING THE ELECTION.
NOW, THIS YEAR, OUR ELECTION GOT MOVED TO NOVEMBER, BUT WE DID DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND DO THIS AS IF THAT ELECTION HAD TAKEN PLACE ON ITS NORMAL CYCLE.
THESE ARE POSITIONS THAT CARRY A GREAT DEAL OF IMPORTANCE.
THE MAYOR PRO TEM FILLS IN FOR THE MAYOR IN MANY EVENTS, AND HAS OTHER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES SHOULD I BE UNAVAILABLE, AND AS WELL AS HELPING WITH THE MEETING, AND THE DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM DOES AS WELL, AS FAR AS HELPING ME MANAGE AND RUN THIS MEETING.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF TIME THAT GOES INTO BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS, SO THAT'S WHY A LOT OF TIMES, THESE WILL SHIFT RESPONSIBILITIES FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
SO THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR THAT EXTRA WORK YOU PUT IN THIS YEAR.

>> THANK YOU, SHONA. THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO OUR REPORTS SECTION, ITEM 7 IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S
[6. Police Department's crime statistics and response times for the month of April 2020.]
CRIME STATISTICS AND RESPONSE TIMES FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL [INAUDIBLE] APRIL REPORT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IF I COULD JUST TAKE A MINUTE JUST RECAP, LAST WEEK, WE CELEBRATED POLICE WEEK, AND IT WAS GREAT WEEK FOR US.
WE HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AS WELL.
[00:10:04]
WE HAD A RALLY OUTSIDE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ON MONDAY.LOTS OF FOOD DONATIONS, GOODIE BAG DONATIONS FROM A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FACTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY WHICH IS ALWAYS GREAT.
WE HAD COOKOUT AND THEN WE KEPT IT OFF.
ON FRIDAY, WE RELEASED A VIDEO WITH THE HELP OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT.
A GOOD VIDEO WE PUSH THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA JUST TALKING ABOUT POLICE WEEK AND THE SIGNIFICANCE IN THAT.
SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT WE'VE HAD FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THE COUNCIL.
MAYOR, THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE VIDEO, APPRECIATE THAT.
I ALSO WANTED TO TALK REAL QUICK ABOUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE NOTICED SINCE THE COVID-19 CHALLENGES HAVE STARTED IS, OUR NUMBER OF CRASHES, TRAVEL CRASHES, HAVE BEEN WAY DOWN BECAUSE OF LACK OF TRAFFIC.
IT'S NOW TRAINING BACKUP AS WE OPEN THINGS AND WHAT I WANTED TO CAUTION THE CITIZENS ON IS, WE HAVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE OUT JOGGING, CYCLING, WALKING, WHICH IS A GREAT THING.
I JUST WANT TO CAUTION MOTORISTS JUST TO BE AWARE OF THE INCREASED PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE, CYCLISTS OUT THERE, JUST AS AN AWARENESS TO KEEP OUR ROADS SAFE.
SO IT'S ALSO MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH IN MAY AND SO JUST ANOTHER THING FOR MOTORS TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
>> I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CYCLISTS CAN'T MAKE THEIR ANNUAL VISIT TO US FOR THE MOTORCYCLE APPRECIATION MONTH, BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR DOING.
HAVE YOU SEEN AN UPTAKE IN INCIDENTS WITH PEDESTRIANS AS WELL AS THAT WHY YOU MENTIONED IT SPECIFICALLY OR?
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT REASONS OR THEORIES FOR IT.
IN THE URBAN AREAS, YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE TEXTING AND ON THEIR PHONES AS THEY'RE WALKING AND CROSSING IN SOME OF YOUR BUSIER URBAN AREAS.
BUT CERTAINLY WITH WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH COVID, YOU HAVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE.
IN OUR COMMUNITY, IT'S BEEN ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE OUT WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND WALKING THEIR PETS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
I THINK MY DOGS LOST SOME WEIGHT BECAUSE WE'VE EXERCISED HIM BETTER THAN WE TYPICALLY WOULD, SO JUST A CAUTION.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?
>> I JUST COMMENT, CHIEF, THE VIDEO YOU GUYS PUT OUT ON MAY 15TH WAS POWERFUL.
DEPUTY CHIEF, DARREN STEVENS, COMMENT ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH I THINK, AND YEAH, THAT WAS VERY WELL DONE.
>> APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHIEF. THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 8,
[7. Fire Department monthly report on incident responses and educational activities for the month of April 2020.]
WHICH IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT ON INSTANT RESPONSES AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, 2020.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
JUST INITIAL REPORT IS SOMETHING THAT WORTH MENTIONING TONIGHT IS THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS ISSUED A ORDER THAT ALL FIRE DEPARTMENTS WILL TEST NURSING HOMES IN THEIR CITY.
THE DEADLINE IS THIS FRIDAY AND WE ALSO BELIEVE, I WAS TALKING TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT THAT THAT ORDER IS GOING TO EXTEND TO CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITIES OR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES.
WHICH IN FIRST GO, WE HAVE ABOUT 18 TOTAL BETWEEN NURSING HOMES AND CONGREGATE FACILITIES.
ABOUT 1,300 RESIDENTS, ABOUT 750 STAFF MEMBERS, ABOUT OVER 2,000 FOLKS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY END UP TESTING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
IN TERMS OF THE SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES, LONG-TERM CARE, THAT IS OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATION IN THIS CITY AND ANY CITY.
IS THESE NURSING FACILITIES THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE PART OF THE INITIATIVE TO GO IN AND MAKE SURE THAT WE IDENTIFY POSITIVE CASES.
THE IDEA IS THAT WHEN THEY'RE IDENTIFIED, THAT THE MANAGEMENT STAFF, THE DIRECTORS OF THESE FACILITIES CAN SEGREGATE THE PATIENTS.
SO THEY SEPARATE SOME OF THE NON-SYMPTOMATIC POSITIVE PATIENTS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE NEGATIVE.
SO WE'LL BE GOING IN THOSE STARTING THURSDAY.
WE MAY HAVE A COUPLE TO DO, ONE IN THURSDAY AND ONE ON FRIDAY.
WITH ANYTHING ANYTIME YOU HAVE AN INCREASED TESTING, YOU HAVE INCREASED NUMBERS.
SO WE WILL PROBABLY SEE OUT MOST LIKELY SOME INCREASED POSITIVE CASES IN THE STATE, AND ALSO POSSIBLY IN OUR COUNTIES BECAUSE OF THIS INCREASED TESTING.
ALL FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE TESTING THEIR CITIES.
SO YOU MAY SEE AN UPTAKE IN THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, SOME OF THESE PATIENTS WILL BE NON-SYMPTOMATIC, BUT NEVERTHELESS, WILL POSSIBLY TEST POSITIVE.
HERE'S A PICTURE THERE, PART OF OUR TESTING TEAM.
SEE SOME OF THE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO WEAR.
ACTUALLY, TWO OF THOSE ON THE LEFT, THEY ARE BOTH MEMBERS OF OUR COVID TESTING TEAM,
[00:15:03]
AND THEY ACTUALLY TESTED ONE ANOTHER.SO ALL THE MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE A PCR TEST.
THEY WILL BE SCREENED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL NEGATIVE BEFORE WE GO INTO THESE FACILITIES, AND THAT, AGAIN, STARTS ON THURSDAY.
WELL, ANOTHER INITIATIVE THAT WE'RE PROUD TO REPORT IS THAT THE STATE HAS ALSO ASKED CITY OF FRISCO, ACTUALLY OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, TO BE THE HUB OF COLLECTING OF ALL OF THIS TESTING DATA.
SO ALL THE TESTING THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE IN SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES AND CONGREGATE LIVINGS BY ALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS WILL FUNNEL IN TO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE MEMBERS THERE, AND OUR EOC THAT WE'LL BE TAKING THESE CALLS AND THIS DATA INPUT.
I LIKE TO MENTION THAT THE TESTING THAT WE DO IN THE NURSING FACILITIES AND THE ADDITIONAL HEALTH THAT WE'RE GIVING THEM ALL DATA COLLECTION IS FUNDED BY THE STATE.
NO CITY DOLLARS ARE GOING TOWARD THIS.
THE STATE IS PAYING FOR THESE INITIATIVES.
I LIKE TO THANK THE IT DEPARTMENT HERE IN FRISCO.
ONCE THEY HEARD THAT WE WERE POSSIBLY BEING CONSIDERED TO COLLECT ALL THIS DATA, THEY JUMPED RIGHT IN.
PUT MANY HOURS ON THE WEEKEND TO DEVELOP A SPREADSHEET THAT IS BEING USED THROUGH THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS THROUGH EVERY FIRE DEPARTMENT IN TEXAS TO PUT THEIR DATA IN.
THEN, OF COURSE, WE TAKE THEIR DATA AND THEN WE APPLY IT TO A SPREADSHEET THE STATE HAS GIVEN US.
SO I FEEL REAL PROUD OF THE FACT THAT THEY HAD THE CONFIDENCE IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND OUR CITY TO TAKE ON THIS TASK.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO ON THAT, WE EXPECT THIS GO ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE TOLD US RIGHT NOW UNTIL THEY TELL US THAT WE'RE NO LONGER GOING TO CONTINUE, BUT I WOULD THINK YOU'D SEE THIS PROBABLY GOING ON TO THE SUMMER.
>> ANY PARTICULAR REASON WHY THEY CHOSE FRISCO TO LEAD THAT?
>> WELL, I BELIEVE THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR ABILITY.
I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT'S WHY THEY CHOSE US, COULD CHOSE ANYONE TO DO IT, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE THE EXPERTISE.
I THINK THAT WE HAVE SHOWN, IN THE PAST, THAT WHEN THEY'VE NEEDED OUR HELP WHETHER IT'S GOING TO CALIFORNIA, WHETHER IT'S GOING TO ALL THE PARTS OF TEXAS ON WILDLAND FIRES, WHETHER IT'S RESPONDING TO HURRICANE HARVEY DOWN IN HOUSTON AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITIES, WE'VE ANSWERED THE CALL.
WHEN THEY CALL UPON US, WE ANSWER THE CALL.
WE'RE GOOD PARTNERS WITH THE STATE IN TERMS OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY LEANED ON US GET THE JOB DONE.
>> OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
>> CHIEF, YOU GUYS HAD A DIFFICULT NIGHT COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WITH THREE STRUCTURE FIRES GOING CONCURRENTLY.
I THINK THAT STRIKES YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT.
COULD YOU MAYBE JUST TALK ABOUT THAT AND HOW YOU GUYS MANAGED THAT, SOME REGIONAL COOPERATION THERE AS WELL?
>> SURE. THAT WE DID HAVE THREE ACTUALLY WORKING FIRES IN ONE EVENING.
THE STORMS ROLLED IN, WHICH HAPPENS HERE WHEN WE GET LIGHTNING ESPECIALLY GROUND LIGHTNING.
ALL THREE FIRES WERE SIGNIFICANT.
THEY WENT OUT SMALL, TWO OF THEM HAD HEAVY FIRE SHOWING UPON ARRIVAL, AND THE THIRD ONE WAS FIRE INSIDE THE STRUCTURE HADN'T SHOWN TO ROOF YET.
THEY WERE GOING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY, TWO OF THEM AT A TIME, THE FIRST ONE CAME IN AND SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, WE HAD A SECOND ONE COME IN.
THE OTHER CITIES WERE EXPERIENCING SOME HEAVY CALLS AT THE SAME TIME.
A LOT OF TIMES, THEY'LL COME TO HELP BACK FILL OUR STATIONS.
SO THAT WAS THE TIME WHEN THEY REALLY COULD HELP US.
WHAT REALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE THERE IS THE FIRST FIRE WHICH JUST STARTING TO BECOME UNDER CONTROL, SO WHEN WE GOT THE SECOND FIRE, WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE SOME RESOURCES FROM THEIR FIRST FIRE TO THE SECOND FIRE.
WHEN THE THIRD FIRE CAME IN, THAT BASICALLY DID ALMOST DEPLETE MOST OF OUR RESOURCES EXCEPT ONE OR TWO HEAVY APPARATUS.
BUT AT THAT TIME, WE WERE ABLE TO GET HELP FROM PLANO, LITTLE ELM, AND THE COLONY TO BACKFILL OUR STATIONS.
SO IT WAS THE TIMING OF THAT ENABLED US TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE RESOURCE WE HAD, AND ALSO UTILIZE THE RESOURCES OF OUR NEIGHBORS.
BUT IT DOES STRETCHES, TWO WORKING FIRES AT THE SAME TIME.
ACTUALLY, FIRES TO THE ROOF OF TWO LARGE STRUCTURES WILL STRETCH ANY DEPARTMENT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE GOT SOME BACKUP FROM OUR FRIENDS NEXT DOOR TO HELP US THROUGH THAT.
>> WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 9 WHICH IS
[8. Financial Services April 2020 Budget Status Report.]
THE FINANCIAL SERVICES APRIL 2020 BUDGET STATUS REPORT.>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
WE HAVE OUR APRIL FINANCIAL REPORT.
I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I DID WANT TO POINT OUT, OF COURSE, WE GOT OUR MARCH SALES TAX NUMBERS, AND THEY WERE DOWN 12 PERCENT, AND SO WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE GET JUNE SALES TAX NUMBERS, THERE'S GOING TO BE A DECREASE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.
[00:20:01]
I THINK, DRIVING BY THE MALL, AND IKEA, AND ALL OF OUR SHOPPING CENTERS, AND THERE WAS NO CARS.SO WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO FEEL THE IMPACT OF THAT AND WE'RE PREPARING FOR IT.
WE'VE GONE THROUGH ABOUT PROBABLY A THIRD OF THE DEPARTMENT BUDGETS REQUESTS FOR NEXT YEAR AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS YEAR'S NUMBERS AS WELL.
THE DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB TRYING TO CUT EXPENSES WHERE THEY CAN.
WE HAD A TON OF STUFF ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT.
I HAVE A POWERPOINT, JUST ONE SLIDE.
ANDY, DID YOU HAVE THAT? SHE MUST NOT HAVE IT.
I WAS GOING TO JUST TALK TO YOU, TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT POTS OF MONEY.
I KNOW RON TALKED TO YOU, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED TO YOU BEFORE ABOUT THIS, BUT ONE OF THE AGENDA ITEMS TONIGHT IS FOR FEMA FUNDING, THAT IS 75 PERCENT THEY WOULD PAY AND 25 PERCENT WE WOULD HAVE TO MATCH WITH LOCAL FUNDS.
THERE'S AN ASSISTANCE FOR FIREFIGHTERS GRANT ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT AND THAT IS FOR $614,000, AND IT'S A 10 PERCENT MATCH WITH LOCAL FUNDS, AND THAT'S TO BUY PP&E.
IN THE END, THE CARES ACT, WHICH WE'VE ALL HEARD A LOT ABOUT, AND TRULY, THE ONLY GUIDANCE IS THE GUIDANCE THEY PUT OUT ON APRIL 22ND, AND THE GUIDANCE THAT THEY PUT OUT, A FAQ, ON MAY THE 4TH.
I'VE PROVIDED BOTH OF THOSE FOR YOU BACK IN THE AGENDA PACKET.
SO YOU HAVE THAT GUIDANCE IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET, BUT THE CARES ACT PUMPS AT A LOT OF MONEY INTO A LOT OF DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND SOME OF THE AGENCIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING MONEY FROM, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY'VE APPLIED AND RECEIVED ONE GRANT FOR 34,000 AND THEN THEY'VE GOT ANOTHER ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT FOR 70,000.
SOME OF THIS IS FOR SANITIZER FOR THE JAIL AND THEN PP&E FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES GAVE US $52,586 FOR LOST EMS REVENUE DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH AND APRIL.
OUR THIRD-PARTY COLLECTOR WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THE LOST REVENUE THAT WE HAD AND THEY GAVE US A PERCENTAGE OF THAT BACK, AND WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED THAT REVENUE.
OF COURSE, THE CARES ACT WITH COLLIN COUNTY, COLLIN CARES, WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE 6.7 MILLION FOR DIRECT EXPENSES AND THEN WE'LL RECEIVE ANOTHER 6.7 FOR HOUSING AND FOOD ASSISTANCE.
TONIGHT, THE ILAS ARE ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA AND IT'S ONLY FOR YOU TO APPROVE FOR US TO ENTER INTO THESE AGREEMENTS WITH COLLIN COUNTY.
WE'LL BE A SUB RECIPIENT OF THAT FEDERAL MONEY FROM COLLIN COUNTY, SO WE'LL HAVE TO REPORT EVERYTHING BACK TO THEM AND THEY'LL REPORT IT BACK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
SO THOSE PLANS ON HOW THOSE PROGRAMS WILL WORK, WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU PROBABLY IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, IT MIGHT BE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE.
DENTON COUNTY, THEY HAD A COMMISSIONERS COURT MEETING TODAY AND THEY'RE PLANNING TO ALLOCATE SOME OF THEIR CARES MONEY THAT THEY GOT, $55 PER CAPITA, TO US AND THAT WOULD BE FOR DIRECT EXPENSES FOR PP&E.
WHAT THEY SAID IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PLAN ON STOCKPILING A LARGE AMOUNT OF MASKS AND EQUIPMENT, AND THAT IF CITIES DIDN'T WANT TO BUY IT DIRECTLY, THEY WOULD JUST GET IT FROM DENTON COUNTY.
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SEVERAL WAYS THAT THAT ILA CAN BE WRITTEN AND WHEN WE GET THE DRAFTS, WE'LL WORK THROUGH THAT.
THE HERITAGE MUSEUM HAS APPLIED FOR A GRANT, AND IT'S ALSO ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT, FOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR HUMANITIES AND IT'S TO DO SOME VIRTUAL TOUR VIDEOS, BECAUSE THEIR MAIN BUSINESS LINE AT THE HERITAGE MUSEUM IS SCHOOL TOURS AND SINCE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY SINCE THE FIRST OF MARCH, THEY THINK THIS WILL BE A GOOD WAY THAT THEY COULD DO VIRTUAL TOURS WHEN SCHOOL STARTS BACK UP IN THE FALL.
THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY, THE LIBRARY IS APPLYING FOR A GRANT, WHICH IS ALSO ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, FOR SUPPLIES IN PROGRAMMING TO DO MORE VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING AT THE LIBRARY'S WELLNESS FOR 25,000.
THERE'S A US COMMERCE DEPARTMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT.
JASON, FORWARD TO RESEARCHING IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD APPLY TO USE SOME OF THAT FUNDING AND WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO RESEARCH THAT FULLY.
THEN AS CHIEF SAID, WE WILL BE GETTING THE STAFF FUNDING BACK FROM THE STATE TO COVER THE NURSING HOME TESTING.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S TONS OF STUFF.
MOST OF THEM ARE ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT, SOME OF THEM ARE ON CONSENT AND A LOT OF THEM YOU'LL HEAR FROM ME HERE IN A LITTLE BIT THAT ARE ON REGULAR AGENDA.
>> I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ON THOSE, BUT I'LL WAIT UNTIL THE AGENDA ITEM ON THOSE SPECIFIC ONES.
BUT, COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU HAVE DURING THIS POINT?
>> I HAVE ONE HERE. I KNOW THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD IN TRYING TO KEEP THE CITY AFLOAT AT THESE TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FULL IMPACTS ARE GOING TO BE.
[00:25:01]
SO WE KNOW THERE'S GOING TO NEED TO BE ADJUSTMENTS.I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK YOU'RE DOING IN THAT AREA.
I ALSO APPRECIATE THAT DURING THIS TIME, YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH AN ISM STUDENT THAT WAS VERY FOCUSED ON PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND SPECIFICALLY OUR BUDGET, AND THIS YOUNG ISM STUDENT, ALTHOUGH HE HAS AP EXAMS THIS WEEK, HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO COME ON JUNE 2ND TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL WITH HIS BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY OF FRISCO FOR 2021.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING SOME TIME TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
HE'S REALLY INTERESTED AND REALLY APPRECIATES ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO.
>> NO, HE HASN'T SHARED THAT WITH ME. [LAUGHTER]
>> HE WILL PROPOSE HIS BUDGET TO YOU IN NEXT MEETING
>> [LAUGHTER] NO, IT WAS A REAL JOY TO HELP HIM, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 10, WHICH IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ACTIVITY MONTHLY REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.
[9. Development Services Activity monthly updated report for the month of April 2020.]
>> JUST A FEW COMMENTS TO MAKE.
IN LIGHT OF DEALING WITH COVID-19, DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES, STAFF HAS STEPPED UP AS WELL AS THAT'S JUST NOT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, BUT FIRE, ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC, PARKS, EVERYBODY THAT'S INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW.
IN LIGHT OF DOING EVERYTHING ELSE AND BEING PART OF THE RECOVERY TEAM TO GET RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES BACK OPEN, STILL STAFF HAS STEPPED UP AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PERFORM.
THAT ALSO INCLUDES ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW, THAT'S STILL ON SCHEDULE.
WE'LL BEGIN TESTING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF PHASE 2.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S INVOLVED WITH ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW AND SUBMITTING THE PLANS.
WE DO HAVE A TEMPORARY PROCESS IN PLACE AS WE DEAL WITH THE SITUATION OF COVID-19, BUT THAT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY MEASURE.
THE ONE WE'LL GET LATER WILL BE MORE ROBUST.
THE LAST THING IS, GO FROM ONE VIRUS TO THE OTHER.
WEST NILE VIRUS, WE'VE STARTED TESTING.
SO THE FIRST TWO OR THREE TESTS HAVE COME OUT NEGATIVE.
BUT, AGAIN, JUST TO REMIND PEOPLE, TREAT STANDING WATER, TAKE CARE OF STANDING WATER.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. [LAUGHTER] APPRECIATE THAT.
>> THANKS, TRAVIS. THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 11, WHICH IS REVISIT FRISCO APRIL SALES AND MARKETING REPORT AND MARCH METRICS REPORT.
[10. Visit Frisco April sales and marketing report and March metrics report.]
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE COUNCIL AND CITY LEADERSHIP FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND RECOGNITION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF TOURISM TO FRISCO'S ECONOMY.
WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF JOBS HERE IN FRISCO THAT ARE RELATED TO TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY, AND A RECENT STUDY JUST SHOWED THAT TRAVEL-RELATED UNEMPLOYMENT HAS GONE TO 51 PERCENT.
SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET PEOPLE COME AND TRAVELING AGAIN FOR THE HEALTH OF THE NATIONWIDE ECONOMY AND FRISCO'S.
WE'RE STARTING TO SEE SOME SLIGHT POSITIVE INCREASES IN OCCUPANCY.
I THINK IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IN A WORK SESSION, ABOUT TWO PERCENT PER WEEK INCREASE, AND THAT COINCIDES WITH TRAVELER'S SENTIMENT INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN MOVING AROUND.
WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN INQUIRIES ABOUT POTENTIAL EVENTS IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS, MOSTLY EVENTS FOR LATE FALL, EARLY SPRING 2021.
BUT IN A COUPLE OF CASES, THEY SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S POSITION ON BEING HOSPITABLE TO EVENTS HAPPENING.
SO I WANT TO SAY THANKS THERE.
OUR SPORTS TEAM, OUR PARTNERS, HAVE CONTINUED TO PUT FRISCO IN LINE TO HOST EVENTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE STARTING OF SPORTS AGAIN IN OUR COUNTRY, AND THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB OF THAT.
SO POSITIVE NEWS, THE OMNI IS REOPENING ON THURSDAY, OUR HYATT REGENCY IS STILL ON TRACK TO OPEN ON JUNE 1ST, AND THE TEAM JUST CONTINUES TO WORK TOWARDS SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE WAYS TO BRING MONEY FROM OUTSIDE OF OUR ECONOMY BACK INTO IT THROUGH TOURISM.
WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU HAVE? THANK YOU.

>> MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY SHONA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE OUR SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA ITEM FIRST, WHICH IS CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2020-05-27, WHICH CONTINUED RENEWED AND EXTENDED THE AMENDED DECLARATION OF LOCAL DISASTER FOR PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ISSUED BY THE MAYOR ON MARCH 19TH, 2020, AND PRESCRIBED ORDERS TO HELP ABATE THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY AND ANY OTHER DECLARATIONS AND AMENDMENTS THERE TO.
YOU HAVE RECEIVED A DRAFT OF AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE THAT CONTINUES THE DISASTER DECLARATION AS YOU HAVE DONE THE LAST FEW MEETINGS, COOPERATES THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER GA-23, WHICH WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY, AND PROVIDES FOR ALL THE OTHER ORDERS THAT HAD BEEN IN PLACE UP TO THIS POINT.
WITH ONE EXCEPTION, AND THAT IS REMOVAL OF THE POSTPONEMENT OF BOARDING COMMISSION MEETINGS OTHER THAN THE EDC, CDC, AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, SO THAT THOSE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS CAN MEET AS THEY HAVE BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.
BUT OTHERWISE, THIS ORDINANCE KEEPS THINGS IN PLACE AS THEY HAD BEEN UP TO THIS POINT.
IT EXPIRES ON JUNE 2ND, AND SO YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT AGAIN AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALSO, WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE CALLING FEATURE FOR COUNCIL MEETINGS TEMPORARILY.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST MEETING WE ARE PLANNING TO DO THAT.
WE WILL ALWAYS POTENTIALLY CHANGE THAT, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
BUT GOING FORWARD, STARTING IN JUNE, WE'LL RETURN TO OUR NORMAL MEETING PROCESS.
I'LL TRY TO BRIEFLY GIVE AN UPDATE FOR THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING WHAT THE GOVERNOR PUT IN PLACE.
THIS WEEK, WHICH ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL OPENINGS FOR MAY 18TH THAT WE DIDN'T DISCUSS LAST MEETING, WHICH WAS MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS, PERSONAL CARE AND BEAUTY SERVICES, AND CHILD CARE SERVICES, AS WELL AS YOUTH CLUBS SUCH AS BOY SCOUTS, GIRL SCOUTS, FFA, ETC, WAS ALLOWED TO OPEN UNDER CERTAIN GUIDELINES STARTING MAY 18TH.
THEN MAY 22ND, DINE AND RESTAURANTS WILL BE MOVING TOWARD 50 PERCENT OCCUPANCY.
AGAIN, THAT'S 50 PERCENT OF THEIR STATED OCCUPANCY, NOT INCLUDED THE PATIO.
SO IF YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT, IT MAY LOOK LIKE MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE TABLES ARE FILLED.
I'VE BEEN OUT AND ABOUT AND LOOKING, THE RESTAURANTS HAVE BEEN DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB, AS ALL OF OUR BUSINESSES HAVE,
[00:35:01]
AS FAR AS ACTUALLY DOING STANDARDS AND PRECAUTIONS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT'S BEING ASKED OF THEM.SO WE LIKE TO SEE THAT CONTINUE.
ALSO, BARS AND SIMILAR ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE NOT RESTAURANTS ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO START OPENING UNDER WHAT THE RESTAURANTS YOU USED TO BE UNDER, WHICH IS THE 25 PERCENT OCCUPANCY, NOT INCLUDING PATIOS.
A FEW, THAT PROBABLY WON'T APPLY TO FRISCO, BUT BOWLING ALLEYS WERE ALLOWED TO START OPENING UNDER CERTAIN GUIDELINES.
THOSE ARE THE MAIN ONES THAT APPLY TO FRISCO.
THEN WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO PROBABLY A PHASE 2B OR MAYBE EVEN THREE AS FAR AS WHAT HAPPENS TOWARDS THE END OF THIS MONTH, WHICH IS GOING TO ALLOW PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH WE HAVE HERE IN FRISCO, TO START OPENING WITHOUT SPECTATORS.
YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS, THAT WAS ANNOUNCED AND CLARIFIED TODAY, THAT PRACTICE CAN BEGIN MAY 31ST WITH ACTUALLY GAMES JUNE 15.
SO IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE CAN HAVE SOME SUMMER SPORTS HERE IN FRISCO, AS WELL AS YOUTH CAMPS COMING ON MAY 31ST.
BUT I ANTICIPATE WE'LL HAVE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE GOVERNOR, JUST LIKE WE DID THIS TIME AS WE LEAD UP TO THOSE DATES WITH ADDITIONAL OPENINGS AS WE START OPENING TEXAS AND OPENING FRISCO.
SO WITH THAT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT, COUNCIL, YOU HAVE?
>> MOVE TO APPROVE SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA ITEM 2.
>> SECOND BY SHONA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
YOUR VOICE HAS TO TRAVEL FURTHER.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE QUICKER, JOHN.
>> IT'S LIKE THE SPEED OF SOUND.
>> JOHN HAS A TENDENCY TO BE A LITTLE BEHIND.
SO THAT'S OKAY. [NOISE] [LAUGHTER]
>> I'M JUST A HEAD OF THE NEXT THING. [LAUGHTER]
>> THAT WILL MOVE US BACK TO OUR NORMAL REGULAR AGENDA.
[35. Public Hearing: A request to rezone 2.6± acres from Planned Development-269-Original Town Commercial/Townhome to Planned Development-Original Town Commercial on the northeast corner of First Street and Elm Street, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoned Planned Development-269-Original Town Commercial/Townhome. Neighborhood #21. Zoning Case No. Z19-0020. TABLED 04/21/2020. (Development Services/JH)]
ITEM 36 IS A PUBLIC HEARING, A REQUEST TO RESOUND 2.6 ACRES FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO 69 ORIGINAL TOWN COMMERCIAL TOWN HOME TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT, ORIGINAL TOWN COMMERCIAL, ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 1ST STREET AND ELM STREET AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE IN THE SAME.ZONE PLAN DEVELOPMENT 269, ORIGINAL TOWN COMMERCIAL TOWNHOME NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER 21.
ZONING CASE NUMBER Z19-0020, WHICH WAS TABLED ON APRIL 21ST, 2020.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO REMOVE FROM [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE TABLE FIRST. FOR MOTION TO REMOVE FROM TABLE?
>> MOTION BY MOVED JOHN SECOND BY WILL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0. THE ITEM IS NOW REMOVED FROM THE TABLE.
>> YES. NACK DEVELOPMENT IS THE APPLICANT ON THIS CASE.
AS IT WAS THE PREVIOUS ZONING CASE ON THE PROPERTY.
THE PREVIOUS ZONING CASE INCLUDED AT FOUR-STOREY OFFICE BUILDING WITH RESTAURANT AND ABOUT 20 TOWN HOMES ON THE PROPERTY.
THIS ZONING REQUEST REMOVES THAT PLAN DEVELOPMENT, PROPOSES THAT NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
IT REMOVES ALL RESIDENTIAL ON THE PROPERTY, PROPOSING A FIVE-STOREY BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY.
ABOUT 124,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE, ABOUT 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF RESTAURANT SPACE ON THE PROPERTY.
THEY'RE PROVIDING THE REQUIRED SIDEWALK WIDTHS ALONG ELM STREET, 1ST STREET AND THEN A WATER SIDEWALK ALONG FRISCO SQUARE BOULEVARD.
FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE, WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY AND PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO ANCHOR THIS END OF THE DOWNTOWN.
THE APPLICANT IS WORKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ON A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ADD A EXTRA FLOOR OF PARKING TO THIS AND THEN THAT PARKING GARAGE COULD BE USED AFTER HOURS FOR PUBLIC PARKING IN THE DOWNTOWN.
SO THAT IS IN AN AGREEMENT THAT WILL BE BEFORE YOU AND WE WOULD TIME THAT SUCH THAT THE ORDINANCE FOR THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT, IF THAT'S DIRECTION OF COUNSEL, AND THAT AGREEMENT WILL BE ON THE SAME COUNCIL MEETING.
SO THIS ITEM HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION BY A VOTE OF 5-0.
COMMISSIONER MORGAN WAS ABSENT FROM THE MEETING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DONNY CHURCHMAN.
>> COUNCIL SAYS OF PUBLIC HEARING.
>> IF THERE HAVE BEEN PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> POST MOTION PASSES 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?
>> [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE] IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM [INAUDIBLE]
>> DONNY CHURCHMAN, OWNER, DEVELOPER, NACK DEVELOPMENT.
MYSELF AND CHRISTINE GREEN, ARE ENGINEER OF THIS PROPERTY ARE ON THE LINE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
>> OKAY. THE VOLUME NEEDS TO GO UP, BUT I THINK I DID CATCH THAT,
[00:40:02]
THAT THEY JUST ARE MAKING THEMSELVES AVAILABLE.IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? [NOISE]
>> SEEMED I MOVED TOO CLOSE. SEE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THERE'S THE MOTION TO CLOSE BY JOHN, SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
COUNCIL, WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE ON THIS ITEM?
>> YOU DID A GOOD JOB OF ANSWERING THE SETBACK QUESTIONS ON ELM STREET, 15 FEET SEEMS A LITTLE NARROW, AND THEN THE 15-19 FEET ON THE 1ST STREET SIGN.
CAN YOU JUST TALK THROUGH THAT A LITTLE BIT AGAIN, PLEASE, SIR?
>> OKAY. SO ALONG THE 15TH STREET IT'S IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE OR DOING A 15 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE BACK OF THE CURB.
THAT'S ALSO REINFORCED BY THE DOWNTOWN MASTERPLAN IN THE DESIGN OF ELM STREET.
ALONG 1ST STREET, DOING 15-19 FEET, MOST OF IT'S 19 FEET UNTIL YOU GET IN THIS PORTION OF THE SITE, YOU DO HAVE A RAMP AND STAIRWELL THAT COMES OUT AND THAT'S REQUIRED BY BUILDING CODES FOR EXTENDING PURPOSES.
I GET THAT'LL GO OFF NOW, BUT WE TRY TO DO THE WATER SIDEWALK ALONG FRISCO SQUARE BOULEVARD.
BECAUSE THAT IS THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, SO THAT'S WHAT WE WORKED OUT WITH THE APPLICANT ON.
>> COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE?
>> JOHN, IS IT POSSIBLE TO SHOW US SOME OF THE OTHER DRAWINGS AND THERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW.
THIS DOESN'T REALLY SHOW THE PUBLIC MUCH OF WHAT THIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE.
I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALWAYS THE FIRST ONE TO CAUTION US ON PRETTY PICTURES, AND WHAT WE APPROVE ISN'T ALWAYS WHAT COMES OUT OF THE GROUND.
BUT DONNY CHURCHMAN SOUNDED GREAT JOB ON A COUPLE OF THESE OTHER PROPERTIES HERE IN TOWN.
GONE VERTICAL, I KNOW IT'S A TIGHT BOX TO OPERATE IN THERE IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN FRISCO, HE'S DONE, I THINK A VERY GREAT JOB BRINGING SOME CHARACTER AND STYLE AND CREATIVITY TO AN OLD PART OF FRISCO.
SO THESE ARE JUST SOME ELEVATION, JUST FOR THE FOLKS AT HOME.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IN THIS AREA HERE.
IT'LL ADD OVER 200 PARKING SPACES.
>> YEAH, THIS ONE WILL ADD 272, I THINK ON THAT DEPENDING IF WE DID THE AGREEMENT, THERE'LL BE ADDITIONAL PARKING PROVIDED IN THE AREA.
>> THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. THAT'S A GREAT LOCATION FOR IT, AND HIDDEN AWAY, THE BUILDING WRAPPED AROUND IT, SO IT'S INSIDE.
THIS IS THE OPEN SPACE THAT'LL BE PROVIDED FOR THE TENANTS AND THOSE PATRONS TO THE RESTAURANTS.
>> YEAH. I'LL JUST ECHO MY EXCITEMENT FOR THIS PROJECT.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT JUST THE MOMENTUM THAT IT HAS, AND ADDITIONAL CITY INVESTMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING FROM MAIN STREET TO MAKE IT MORE PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY.
REALLY WHAT WE'RE LACKING DOWN THERE WAS A CONGLOMERATION OF OFFICE.
FOR THAT DAY TRAFFIC, THAT FOOT TRAFFIC, IT'S ONLY GOING TO HELP THE BUSINESSES DOWN THERE THRIVE AND SURVIVE EVEN MORE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF DAY TRAFFIC FLOWING THROUGH THIS AREA.
BUT TRULY, WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT THE ENTREPRENEURIAL NETWORK THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUILD HERE IN FRISCO.
LARGELY THIS KIND OF VIBE AND LOCATION IS SOMETHING THAT THEY ALL WANT TO BE AT.
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO BE AT A TRADITIONAL HALL OFFICE PARK OR THE STAR OR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
THEY WANT TO KIND OF BE IN THIS KIND OF DISTRICT LIKE THIS.
SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO HIT A LOT OF OUR KIND OF BULLSEYE AREAS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS FAR AS CONTINUING TO BUILD ON THE RAIL DISTRICT IN DOWNTOWN, CREATE THAT TRANSITION FROM KIND OF THE NEW DOWNTOWN WHICH WAS FRISCO SQUARE WITH FRISCO JUNCTION, PULL TRAFFIC THROUGH THE RAIL DISTRICT.
I'M EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE AGREEMENT WITH PARKING AS FAR AS HOW THAT CAN HELP WITH THAT PART OF DOWNTOWN WITH PARKING FOR NIGHTS.
THIS IS I THINK IS JUST GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE ANOTHER SHOT IN THE ARM FOR THE RAIL DISTRICT AS FAR AS THEY CONTINUE TO BE ON FIRE DOWN THERE AND IT'S GOING TO ONLY HELP THEM EVEN MORE.
SO THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS, I'M GOING TO APPRECIATE THE APPLICANT FOR THEIR CONTINUED INVESTMENTS IN FRISCO AND THE RAIL DISTRICT.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT ANY OF US WANTS TO MAKE? NOW I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.
>> SECOND BY WILL. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE MOTION PASSES 6-0, LOOK FORWARD TO GROUNDBREAKING.
THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO CITIZEN INPUT.
[CITIZEN INPUT (to begin approximately at 7:30 p.m.)]
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT, EITHER HERE IN PERSON OR ON THE PHONE?>> YES. I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE CITIZEN HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT.
[00:45:07]
>> MY NAME IS JEFF RENTALS, CITIZEN OF FRISCO, RESIDE AT 6267 SWEENEY TRAIL.
HAVE LIVED IN FRISCO FOR 20 YEARS NOW THIS YEAR.
I'VE BEEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS A LONG TIME AGO AND I KNOW THIS BOARD OR COUNCIL USUALLY HEARS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THIS IS NOT THAT.
IT'S ME RECOGNIZING SOME GREAT WORK BY THE FIRST RESPONDERS OF FRISCO, NAMELY STATION 4 AND STATION 3.
I'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE SITUATION.
AT 5:43 ON MAY 6TH, JUST TWO WEEKS AGO TOMORROW, THANK GOODNESS I WOKE UP AND MY WIFE DID, WITH SOME THREE GASPS, AND BASICALLY, HER HEART STOPPED.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY I STARTED CPR, BUT I DID, AND I CAN ONLY THANK MY HEALTH TEACHER FROM 40 YEARS AGO TEACHING ME CPR AND I SOMEHOW REMEMBERED IT.
STARTED TO GIVE HER CPR AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION AT 5:47, FOUR MINUTES LATER, THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY A VERY DIRE SITUATION AND DIALED 911 AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THE 911, OPERATOR INDICATED THAT FIRST RESPONDERS WOULD BE THERE AND HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO BE THERE.
THEY SHOWED UP AT APPROXIMATELY 5:53 AND TOOK OVER CPR FROM ME, AND THEN TRANSPORTED MY WIFE TO FRISCO MEDICAL CENTER HERE DOWNTOWN.
VERY FORTUNATE THAT AFTER SHE WAS DEFIBBED TWICE IN THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE, THAT HER HEART RESPONDED AND CAME BACK TOO.
THE REASON I'M HERE TONIGHT IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL BECAUSE MY SON AND I, LUCAS, WHO WITNESSED ALL OF THIS, UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THIS OCCURRED, WE WERE IN A STATE OF SHOCK, OBVIOUSLY, BUT WE WERE ALSO SHOCKED HOW QUICKLY THEY CAME AND TOOK OVER THE SITUATION IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER.
JOHN, WHO KNOWS ME FOR PROBABLY 15 YEARS, KNOWS I'M A PRETTY EMOTIONAL GUY, AND WHEN YOUR WIFE IS NOT WITHOUT LIFE AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET HER BACK, YOUR EMOTIONS RUN PRETTY HIGH.
I HAVE TO COMPLIMENT CAPTAIN JEFF WHITE, WHO'S A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN ME AND PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL AS I DID, AND KEPT ME IN LINE BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE WITH HER AND THEY NEEDED TO DO THEIR WORK.
IT WAS A VERY PROFESSIONAL, VERY COURTEOUS APPROACH IN A VERY EMOTIONALLY CHARGED SITUATION.
SO I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE HIM AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS HERE IN A SECOND.
BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW, I'VE BEEN PAYING TAXES TO THE CITY OF FRISCO FOR 20 YEARS AND COMPLAINED SOMETIMES, AS WE ALL DO.
I CAN TELL YOU, I CAN'T ADD UP THE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS THAT WOULD MEAN MY WIFE'S LIFE TO ME.
AFTER MY SON AND I WENT FRIDAY AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND SHE CAME TO, WE MET WITH STATION 4 AND CAPTAIN WHITE AND TALKED ABOUT THIS, AND THE FACT THAT THEY SAVE VERY FEW LIVES IN THIS SITUATION JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE PERCENTAGES, YOU'RE FIGHTING THE PERCENTAGES AND THIS WAS A VICTORY FOR THEM.
THEY WERE EXTREMELY MOTIVATED TO MEET US AND TO MEET HER, AND I WANT TO COMPLIMENT CAPTAIN, THE CHIEF, AND HIS TEAMS ACROSS THE CITY FOR ALL OF THE TRAINING, THE RESOURCES THAT YOU AS A COUNCIL ENABLED THEM TO HAVE.
THERE WERE SEVEN RESPONDENTS THAT MORNING IN OTHER CITIES, AND NORTH AND SOUTH ARE HERE, WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSER TO THREE, AND THAT COULD HAVE MEANT THE DIFFERENCE IN MY WIFE SHELLEY LIVING OR DYING.
SO I WANT TO COMPLIMENT STATION 4, CAPTAIN JEFF WHITE, BRIAN HALEY, MATT WALSH, SQUAD ONE LIEUTENANT KELLY WAFFLE, MATT BONNER.
THE WARREN STATION 3, RYAN HUGHES AND SHONE SANDERS FOR THEIR EXCELLENT PROFESSIONALISM AND RESPONSIVENESS TO THIS SITUATION.
I'M VERY PROUD TO BE A CITIZEN OF FRISCO FOR MANY REASONS, BUT EVEN PROUDER TODAY AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'LL HEAR THE BAD THINGS, AS YOU SHOULD, BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO HEAR THE GOOD THINGS AS THEY SHOULD.
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING THEM AT STATION 4 WITH MY WIFE, HOPEFULLY FRIDAY, AND HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CELEBRATION AND GET TO SEE A VICTORY ON THEIR BEHALF BECAUSE THEY DESERVE TO SHARE IN THAT AS WE WILL.
SO I APPRECIATE THIS TIME AND [NOISE] IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL ANSWER THEM.
BUT I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE FIRST RESPONDERS DID ON THIS AND DO EVERY DAY.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT STORY.
[00:50:01]
IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR. THAT'S A POSITIVE OUTCOME AND A POSITIVE STORY.I KNOW JOHN AND LESLIE WERE KEEPING DAN AND I UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE DAYS THAT IT DID SEEMED DIRE AT TIMES AND WE BREATHED A GASP OF RELIEF ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY WHEN HE SHARED THE NEWS THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND WE'RE PRAYING FOR SHELLEY, AND GLAD THAT THINGS TURNED OUT SO.
>> LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU MEETING THE PEOPLE THAT HELPED YOU THROUGH THAT SITUATION.
>> VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO GO TO THE PODIUM OR DO IT FROM HERE.
>>MR. REYNOLDS, IF YOU WOULD JUST TURN IN YOUR BLUE CARD?
>> YEAH. LET ME JUST VERIFY WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOLDING ON THE PHONE AND THEN WE'LL JUST CONFIRM THAT WE HAVE NONE ON THE PHONE.
TIM, I'LL LET YOU JUST, AT YOUR PLEASURE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> APPRECIATE IT. I JUST HAD AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND A THANKS THAT NEED TO BE PUT OUT.
THE FRISCO VFW AND THE GARDEN CLUB TRADITIONALLY HAD A MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY IN HONOR OF OUR FALLEN HEROES.
THAT CEREMONY WAS VERY MUCH IN QUESTION THIS YEAR DUE THE FACT OF THE CURRENT HEALTH SITUATION IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT WITH COVID-19.
A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WENT ON OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO AND HAVE IN ORDER TO HONOR OUR FALLEN HEROES.
SO BASICALLY, THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES TO ALLOW A MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY TO TAKE PLACE THIS YEAR.
IT'LL HAPPEN AT NINE O'CLOCK ON MONDAY, MAY 25TH ON MEMORIAL DAY.
BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A FIRST PUBLIC EVENT IN THE CITY SINCE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, WE'LL BE HIGHLY ENCOURAGING SOCIAL DISTANCING, ENCOURAGING THE WEARING OF MASKS, AS WELL AS THERE WILL BE SANITATION STATIONS ON SITE.
FOR THOSE THAT WOULD BE MORE AT RISK, WE'RE ENCOURAGING THOSE THAT FEEL THAT THEY'D BE PUTTING THEMSELVES AT RISK TO BE THERE, WE'D ENCOURAGE THEM TO STAY AT HOME.
THERE WILL BE OPTIONS FOR THEM VIA FACEBOOK LIVE AND WE'LL RECORD THE CEREMONY, AND THEY COULD GO AHEAD AND VIEW IT AT A LATER DATE.
IT'LL BE A SMALLER CEREMONY THAN NORMAL.
WE WON'T HAVE THE FULL FRISCO COMMUNITY BAND.
WE WILL HAVE THEIR BRASS SECTION AND WE WILL NOT HAVE OUR FULL FRISCO CHORAL, BUT WE WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL QUARTET, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THAT ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A SMALLER CEREMONY, IT WILL BE FITTING FOR OUR FALLEN HEROES.
WE'RE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT DICK BEASLEY WILL BE OUR GUEST SPEAKER.
HE'S A LOCAL HERO AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE HIM.
THE OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE WILL GO OUT TOMORROW, SO ALL THE DETAILS WILL BE IN THAT AND WE'LL SHARE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON, AND OF COURSE, INVITING THE PUBLIC.
ON THAT NOTE, THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT A LOT OF COOPERATION WITH THE CITY OF FRISCO, BECAUSE THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A CITY EVENT, BUT THE CITY IS INSTRUMENTAL IN NOT ONLY ALLOWING THIS, BUT FACILITATING THIS EVENT.
TO THAT NOTE, THE FRISCO VFW AND GARDEN CLUB WANTED TO RECOGNIZE SOME FOLKS IN FRISCO, SPECIFICALLY DIRECTOR SHONA COATES, [INAUDIBLE] , AND EDDY CAMACHO, OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, DANA BAIRD, AND OF COURSE, OUR SPECIAL EVENTS COORDINATOR, KARA HARDING, WHO COULD NOT BE MORE WILLING TO HELP AND BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS HAPPENS.
SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THE MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY, WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE THERE EARLY.
WE'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO SOCIAL DISTANCE.
WE WILL HAVE MASKS ON HAND FOR THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE MASKS THAT CHOOSE TO WEAR A MASK AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HONORING THOSE HEROES THAT HAVE ALLOWED US TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO HAVE.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON MAKING THAT HAPPEN TOO.
>> ANYONE ELSE THAT'D LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN INPUT? [NOISE] OKAY.
THAT WILL MOVE US BACK TO ITEM 37,
[36. Public Hearing: A request to amend the Comprehensive Plan and adopt the US 380 Overlay District Design Strategy, and to consider to direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance of the same. Zoning Case No. CA20-0001. TABLED 04/21/2020. (Development Services/JH)]
WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING, A REQUEST TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ADOPT THE US 380 OVERLAY DISTRICT DESIGN STRATEGY AND TO CONSIDER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE OF THE SAME, ZONING CASE NUMBER CA20-0001 [INAUDIBLE] APRIL 21ST, 2020.[NOISE] COUNCIL, WE NEED TO FIRST REMOVE THIS FROM THE TABLE.
I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. [NOISE]
>> SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
THIS ITEM IS NOW REMOVED FROM THE TABLE.
>> YES. THAT ITEM WAS TABLED TO ALLOW THE FIELDS TEAM TIME TO REVIEW THE 380 OVERLAY AND STUDY, AND THE STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDS TABLING TO THE JUNE 2ND.
I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THE JUNE 16TH MEETING.
THEY HAVE PROVIDED AS COMMENTS, THEY HAVE NOT FULLY REVIEWED ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS.
SO I'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM PROBABLY AN EXTRA WEEK TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENT, GET THEIR COMMENTS, SEE IF WE NEED TO ADDRESS ANYTHING.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU TONIGHT IS TO TABLE THIS TO THE JUNE 16TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
>> SO ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE WE LOOK FOR A MOTION TO TABLE?
[00:55:04]
>> ARE WE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT ALL TONIGHT?
>> ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING?
>> WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS IN PLACE.
>> SHALL WE GO AHEAD AND OPEN.
>> A MOTION BY WILL TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> CLOSED. THE MOTION PASSES 6-0.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? [NOISE]
>> MOVE TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> I'M SORRY. WAS THERE SOMEONE, CHRIS? I HEARD.
>> NO, I THINK HE'S JUST COUNTING.
>> MOVE TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL JUNE 16TH AND TABLE AGENDA ITEM 37 UNTIL JUNE 16TH.
>> MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 38 WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON
[37. Public Hearing: On the Substantial Amendment to the City of Frisco Citizen Participation Plan, PY 2019 Annual Action Plan. (Financial Services/JH)]
THE SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF FRISCO CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN, 2019 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.>> YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS IS AGENDA ITEM TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.
THIS IS THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR US TO AMEND OUR CURRENT CONSOLIDATED PLAN TO AMEND THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN.
IT'S BASICALLY JUST TO ADD SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE COVID-19.
SO I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM BUT INCLUSION OF VISUAL HEARINGS IS ALLOWED, METHOD FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
IT'S JUST VARIOUS CLEANUP ITEMS IN OUR CITIZEN'S PARTICIPATION PLAN, SO IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MOTION TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING?
>> MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
>> MOVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> MOTION BY WILL TO CLOSE. SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> POLLS, THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
SO WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE?
>> WE'RE NOT TAKING ANY ACTION ON THIS.
IT'S JUST A PUBLIC HEARING, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> YES. THAT ACTION ITEM IS THE NEXT AGENDA.
>> THAT WILL MOVE US TO ITEM 39 WHICH IS CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON A RESOLUTION TO AMEND
[38. Consider and act upon a Resolution to amend the Citizen Participation Plan of the Consolidated Plan 2015-2019, as required by the Community Development Block Grant, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. (Financial Services/JH)]
THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN AND THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015 THROUGH 2019 AS REQUIRED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT.THIS AGENDA ITEM, WE DID HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS AND WE PUBLISHED AS REQUIRED.
WE HAD A PUBLIC INPUT PERIOD AND ALL OF THAT WAS CONSIDERED.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN, A SECTION OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015-2019.
>> WHAT QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS DO YOU HAVE?
>> SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
THAT WILL NOW MOVE US TO ITEM 40 WHICH IS CONSIDER AN ACT UPON A RESOLUTION APPROVING
[39. Consider and act upon a Resolution approving a Substantial Amendment to the Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan Program Year 2019, amending the Consolidated Plan 2015-2019, and authorizing the submission, as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. (Financial Services/JH)]
A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PROGRAM YEAR 2019, AMENDING THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015 THROUGH 2019, AND AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSIONS AS REQUIRED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT.THIS SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, YOU HEAR THE S CALLING THEM CDBG, WAS APPROVED IN THE CARES ACT THAT WAS APPROVED ON MARCH 27TH, AND THE CITY OF FRISCO AS AN ENTITLEMENT CITY WAS AWARDED $374,362, PROGRAMMING DOLLARS FOR RELIEF TO OUR RESIDENCE FOR THIS PANDEMIC.
IT'S FUNDED THROUGH [INAUDIBLE] AND THE CARES ACT.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING YOU CAN TAKE UP TO A 20 PERCENT ADMIN ALLOWANCE, AND WE'RE ONLY RECOMMENDING 12, BUT WE DO RECOMMEND THAT WE TAKE THAT ADMINISTRATIVE ALLOWANCE BECAUSE WE WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY ADMINISTRATIVE ALLOWANCES ON THE CARES ACT MONEY THAT WE RECEIVE.
ALL THE NOTICES HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
PUBLIC NOTICES REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN WERE PRINTED IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS AND POSTED ONLINE.
WE HAD A FIVE-DAY COMMENT PERIOD FROM APRIL 20TH TO APRIL 24TH.
WE HAD THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON MAY THE 5TH AT THE CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING, AND THEN WE HAD THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING AT THE MAY 13TH SOCIAL SERVICE HOUSING BOARD MEETING.
SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING US TO GIVE, AND I'M SORRY THAT WE DIDN'T INCLUDE IT, IT'S IN THE PLAN THAT WE INCLUDED THE 110 PAGE PLAN,
[01:00:03]
BUT WE DID TRY TO SEND OUT TO YOU JUST THE SUMMARY DOCUMENT.>> THAT WAS HELPFUL. THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME. WE'RE RECOMMENDING $234,524 TO FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES, 18,018 TO MEALS ON WHEELS OF COLLIN COUNTY, 27,500 TO THE FAMILY PLACE, 16,500 TO CITY HOUSE, $3,000 TO THE TEXAS MUSLIM WOMEN'S FOUNDATION THAT IS A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER, 21,700 TO SAMARITAN INN WHICH IS A HOMELESS SHELTER IN MCKINNEY, THE ONLY ONE IN COLLIN COUNTY, HOPE'S DOOR BEGINNING CENTER WHICH IS ALSO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER OPERATION FOR 9,120, AND THEN OUR 12 PERCENT GRANT ADMINISTRATION.
THE WAY THAT WE SELECTED THIS RECOMMENDATION TO YOU IS THESE ARE OUR AGENCIES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH, THEY'VE ALREADY APPLIED FOR CITY CDBG OR CD PER CAPITA GRANTS IN THE PAST, AND THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO HANDLE ALL THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS AND THE REPORTING THAT'S REQUIRED WHEN YOU ACCEPT FEDERAL DOLLARS.
SOME SMALLER AGENCIES DO NOT WANT THE FEDERAL MONEY BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DO THE REPORTING THAT'S REQUIRED.
THEN ADDITIONALLY, TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED, YOU HAVE TO BE A 501(C)(3), YOU MUST HAVE A D-U-N-S NUMBER WHICH IS DUN & BRADSTREET NUMBER, AND YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE ACTIVE ON SAM.GOV, AND THEY CAN'T HAVE BEEN DEBARRED.
SO THEY HAVE TO BE ELIGIBLE TO EVEN DO BUSINESS WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF RULES AND RESTRICTIONS, AND THAT'S HOW WE SELECTED.
THE SOCIAL SERVICE HOUSING BOARD HAD INPUT, THE PUBLIC HAD INPUT, WE HAD THE PUBLIC COMMENTS, AND THAT'S HOW WE SELECTED THESE AGENCIES.
SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVING THIS SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO OUR CDBG FUNDING FOR 2019 DUE TO THE CARES ACT.
>> ANITA, I THINK THE FIRST QUESTION I HAVE IS, IT LOOKS LIKE ROUGHLY 270,000 OF THE 374,000 IS BEING ALLOCATED TO RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE, BULK OBVIOUSLY GOING TO FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES.
BUT I GUESS WHAT WAS THE RATIONALE BETWEEN SPLITTING THAT UP BETWEEN THREE DIFFERENT ENTITIES AND FOR THOSE THAT NEED THAT ASSISTANCE? DO THEY HAVE TO GO TO APPLY TO ALL THREE OR IS ONE GOING TO BE TALKING TO THE OTHER KNOWING THAT A RESIDENT GOT FUNDED FROM ENTITY B AND THEY'RE ALSO APPLYING FROM ENTITY A?
>> WELL, THE RATIONALE WAS SARAH CARROLL, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, REACHED OUT TO ALL THE AGENCIES TO SEE WHAT THEIR NEEDS WERE, AND THAT WAS PART OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
SO MOST COLLIN COUNTY CITY OF FRISCO RESIDENTS GO TO FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES FIRST.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, THIS IS ALL FOR LOW AND MEDIUM INCOME RESIDENTS.
WHEN THEY GO TO FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES OR TO ANY OF THESE OTHER AGENCIES, THEY DON'T GET THE CASH IN THEIR HAND.
THE MONEY IS PAID DIRECTLY TO THE LANDLORD, THE MORTGAGE COMPANY, THE UTILITY COMPANY, OR THEY'RE GIVEN FOOD VOUCHER.
>> SO THE FAMILY PLACE AND CITY HOUSE WHO WAS GIVEN MONEY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, ARE THEY SERVING A SEPARATE SUBSET OF OUR POPULATION?
>> CITY HOUSE SERVES CHILDREN AND TEENS, AND THE FAMILY PLACE IS AN EMERGENCY SHELTER.
IT'S AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR HOUSING BUT THIS IS SAYING THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE WRITTEN UTILITIES, BUT IT'S AN ALTERNATE TRANSITIONAL LIVING.
SO THEY DO HAVE DIFFERENT MISSIONS AND DIFFERENT GOALS.
>> OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THEN IS FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES ALREADY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS [NOISE] FOR THESE FUNDS?
>> FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES HAS ALREADY BEEN HELPING.
WE GOT A REPORT TODAY, AND THEY'VE BEEN HELPING FRISCO RESIDENTS FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS.
SO THEY PROBABLY AREN'T TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THESE FUNDS YET BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T AWARDED IT TO THEM.
>> OKAY. ASSUMING THAT IT PASSES HERE IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, IF WE'RE GIVING MESSAGING TO THE PUBLIC AND IF SOMEONE IS ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE FUNDS, THEY SHOULD PROBABLY CONTACT FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY?
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
GIVEN THAT THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN FUNDING FOR FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES AND THE NEED IS FAIRLY SHORT-TERM, AND JEFF JUST INFORMED ALL THE LMI RESIDENTS OF FRISCO THAT THEY SHOULD RUSH TO APPLY, IS FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES STAFFED AND PREPARED FOR THAT INFLUX OF APPLICATIONS?
[01:05:03]
>> THEY TELL US THAT THEY ARE.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR US FOR MANY YEARS SO WE FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THEY CAN HANDLE IT.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE, SARAH CARROLL IS OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, SO SHE'S ALL THINGS FEDERAL.
THEN, WE HAVE BEE YOUNGBLOOD IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT WHO'S OUR SENIOR, SHE'S FINANCIAL SERVICES MANAGER AND SHE'S HAD A LOT OF TRAINING FOR THIS VERY THING THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
IT'S PUT US IN A REALLY GOOD PLACE TO HAVE HAD THEM GO TO THESE SPECIAL TRAININGS BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY CLEAR ON WHAT CAN BE FUNDED AND WHAT CANNOT BE FUNDED.
SO I APPRECIATE SARAH, AND OF COURSE JENNY, ALWAYS HELPS ON THE CARES ACT.
[NOISE] THIS IS JUST THE CDBG.
>> I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD AND I ASKED THEM A COUPLE TIMES.
ONE THING WE TALKED ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION FEE AND LOWERING IT, AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS DOING THAT.
THAT'S A GOOD BECAUSE DOLLARS CAN BE REALLY USED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
ONE QUESTION I HAVE, JUST TO TOUCH ON THE DETAILS, IF THERE'S AN ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD WANT TO BE ON THIS LIST IN THE FUTURE, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO IT? I WAS HOPING THAT THIS WEEK [LAUGHTER] YOU HAVE OTHER STUFF GOING ON BUT-
>> THEY CAN REACH OUT TO US ANYTIME.
OUR SCHEDULE AND OUR CALENDAR IS USUALLY, IN THE FALL WE START REACHING OUT TO THE SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES AND COLLIN AND DIDN'T COUNTY THAT CAN SERVE OUR RESIDENTS.
IN JANUARY, WE HAVE A HUGE, IT'S USUALLY BEEN A HALF-DAY TRAINING CLASS WHERE WE TALK TO THEM ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS AND WHAT YOU ALSO ALLOCATE A DOLLAR PER CAPITA FOR SOCIAL SERVICES AND A LOT OF OUR MONEY GOES DIRECTLY FROM THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND.
IT'S CDBG FUNDING FOR SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES IS REALLY NOT THAT MUCH.
IT WAS ONLY, I THINK $83,000 FOR THIS YEAR.
THE REST OF IT IS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT WE TRY TO DO FOR THE CITY OR IT'S FOR REHAB HOUSING AND WE HAVE A REHAB SPECIALIST AND WE RENOVATE AND REHAB THE OLDER HOMES THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE QUALIFIED.
SO THAT'S A BIG PART OF OUR CDBG.
ONLY 15 PERCENT, I BELIEVE, CAN GO TO SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES.
SO THEY CAN CONTACT SARAH AT ANYTIME AND THEY CAN GET PUT ON OUR LIST AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE THAT TRAINING IN JANUARY AND THEN WRITES, VERY SOON AFTER THAT, SHE ROLLS OUT AND WE USE IT IN GRANTS RIGHT NOW WE'VE USED THAT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.
THEY CAN APPLY THROUGH ZOOM GRANTS FOR AGENCY FUNDS.
USUALLY, THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T HAVE OUR SOCIAL SERVICE HOUSING BOARD MEETINGS IN MARCH OR APRIL.
BUT USUALLY, WE SPLIT THOSE TWO MEETINGS WHERE ALL OF THE AGENCIES COME IN AND PRESENT TO THE SOCIAL SERVICE HOUSING BOARD, WHAT THEY DO AND WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR AND WHAT THEY COULD DO WITH THE MONEY AND THEN IN THE SUMMER, AND WHICH WE'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU ALL THIS SUMMER AND YOU ACTUALLY APPROVE THAT EVERY SUMMER, ALONG WITH OUR ACTION PLAN FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
>> JUST TO END, EVERY FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE TO DO A CONSOLIDATED PLAY AND SO THIS PLAN THAT WE'RE UNDER RIGHT NOW IS 2015 TO 2019, THIS SUMMER, SARAH AND HER STAFF WILL BE WRITING THE 2020-2024 PLAN AND THEN WE HAVE TO REPORT ON THAT PLAN WITH WHAT WE CALL A [INAUDIBLE] AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
SO IT'S A LOT OF REPORTING, IT'S A LOT OF FEDERAL STRINGS. SO-
>> JUST TO APPROVE ON ITEM 40.
>> MOTION BY WILL, SECOND BY SHONA, ALL IN FAVOR?
[40. Consider and act upon a Resolution approving terms and conditions, authorizing submission, account activation, direct deposit, and designating a subrecipient agent for a Grant Application to the Texas Division of Emergency Management. (Financial Services/JH)]
WHICH IS CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON A RESOLUTION, APPROVING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION, ACCOUNT ACTIVATION, DIRECT DEPOSIT, AND DESIGNATED A SUB RECIPIENT AGENT FOR A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.>> SO THIS AGENDA ITEM, WE CALL THAT TDEM.
YOU'D PROBABLY HEAR CHIEF TALKING ABOUT THAT.
WE DID APPLY BACK IN APRIL FOR A FEMA REIMBURSEMENT DISASTER, DR. 4485 AND WE DID GET APPROVAL ON THAT PORTAL.
THEN THEY SENT US ALL OF THIS PAPERWORK THAT GEORGE OR I HAVE TO APPROVE.
SO THIS RESOLUTION GIVES US THE AUTHORITY TO SIGN ALL THE PAPERWORK, THE BANK DEPOSIT INFORMATION AND WHO THE CERTIFYING OFFICIALS HERE AT THE CITY WILL BE FOR THIS FEMA REIMBURSEMENT AND FEMA, YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE A 25 PERCENT LOCAL MATCH.
>> THAT'S ONLY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE?
[01:10:01]
>> SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> OPPOSE? THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.
THAT WILL NOW MOVE US INTO ITEM 42,
[41. Consider and act upon approval of a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) Interlocal Agreements with Collin County for the Allocation of CARES Act Funding to the City of Frisco from the United States Department of the Treasury passed through Collin County (Financial Services/JH)]
WHICH IS CONSIDERED AN ACT UPON APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CORONAVIRUS AID RELIEF AND ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT, THE CARES ACT IN THE LOCAL AGREEMENTS WITH COLLIN COUNTY FOR THE ALLOCATION OF CARES ACT FUNDING, TO THE CITY OF FIRST GO FROM THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY, PASS-THROUGH COLLIN COUNTY>> MAYOR COUNCIL, THIS AGENDA ITEM IS FOR COLLIN CARES.
THE COLLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, A FEW WEEKS AGO AT THEIR COURT MEETING APPROVED TO ALLOCATE OUT AND HE'S BASICALLY A PER CAPITA, THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT TRANCHES OF MONEY.
THERE'S THE DIRECT EXPENSES AND THEN THERE'S THE EMERGENCY HOUSING AND LIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
FOR THE DIRECT EXPENSES, THEY BASICALLY GAVE US $55 PER CAPITA, WHICH IS WHAT THE WHOLE UNITED STATES IS BASICALLY GETTING WITH THE CARE SCHOLARS THAT SPIN THE RECOMMENDED PER CAPITA FORMULA.
THE REASON WE DIDN'T GET THE MONEY DIRECTLY, WHICH I'M SURE YOU KNOW, IS BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE DIRECTLY TO ALL COUNTIES AND CITIES THAT HAD A POPULATION GREATER THAN 500,000 AND THEN THOSE COUNTIES ARE TO ALLOCATE OUT THOSE FUNDS TO THE CITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY.
SINCE WE'RE IN TWO COUNTIES, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH TWO DIFFERENT ALLOCATIONS.
THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO GIVE US THE MONEY, BUT COLLIN COUNTY GOT ROD ON IT.
THEY'RE GIVING US BASICALLY $55 PER CAPITA FOR THE COLLIN COUNTY SIDE WHICH THEY'RE ESTIMATING TO BE AROUND A 124,000 OR A 128,000 AND THAT MONEY IS TO PAY OUR DIRECT EXPENSES HERE AT THE CITY, THERE'S NO MATCH.
WE ARE A SUB-RECIPIENT, AS I SAID BEFORE, SO WE'LL HAVE TO REPORT ALL OF THE EXPENSES AND SEND ALL THE BACK OVER TO COLLIN COUNTY AND ENABLE FILE IT WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO SPEND ANY MONEY BACK OR TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT DISALLOWED.
THE OTHER PART OF MONEY IS FOR THAT DIRECT EXPERIENCE.
THERE IS SOME PROVISIONS IN THERE FOR SOME OTHER ECONOMIC SUPPORT TO OTHER BUSINESSES WHICH WERE STILL RESEARCHING THAT AND WE'RE STILL TRYING TO GET MORE GUIDANCE.
SO WE HAVEN'T REALLY ROLLED ANYTHING OUT ON THAT.
THE OTHER ILA IS FOR THE EMERGENCY HOUSING AND LIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, COLLIN COUNTY CALLED THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE FOUR ENTITLEMENT CITIES IN COLLIN COUNTY, PLANO, MCKINNEY, FRISCO, AND ALLEN, BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN RECEIVE THAT MONEY AND SO WHAT WE ARE AGREEING TO IN THIS ILA IS THAT WE WILL ALSO HELP SERVICE AND WORK OUT THE POPULATION DISTRIBUTION OR ALLOCATION FOR PROSPER AND SALANA AS WELL.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE PORTAL AND ALL THE AGENCIES AND RFQ WENT OUT LAST FRIDAY IN ALL THE SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES IN COLLIN COUNTY WILL BE APPLYING BACK TO THIS RFQ AND THEN IF THEY'RE SELECTED AND CAN HANDLE ALL THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, THEN THEY'LL BE ALLOCATED FUNDING THAT WAY BASED ON OUR CITY ZIP CODE IS REALLY HOW THEY'RE DOING IT AT THE COUNTY LEVEL.
>> I'M STRUGGLING TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO WE'RE ALLOCATED ROUGHLY $6 MILLION AND ARE WE, THE CITY OF FRISCO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS LINE AND PROSPEROUS STUFF JUST FOR OUR RESONANCE.
ARE WE THEN ALLOCATING THAT MONEY DIRECT TO RESONANCE THAT $6 MILLION WHO APPLY ARE OR WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THAT $6 MILLION TO SOME GROUP OF NON-PROFITS WHO WOULD THEN ALLOCATE?
>> THEY WILL MAKE SURE ALL THE RULES ARE FOLLOWED BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME RULES AS CDBG FUNDS.
NOW, THEY MAKE INCOME LIMIT 200 PERCENT.
SO A FAMILY OF FOUR, I THINK THE INCOME LIMITS 172 OR SOMETHING, SO IT'S A LOT HIGHER.
THE MAXIMUM GRANT THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GET IS $10,000 OR 2500 A MONTH FOR MORTGAGE OR RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND THEN INCLUDING THAT 2500, I BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM GIFT CARDS OR SOME KIND OF VOUCHER CARD FOR FOOD.
>>THE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE HERE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, OBVIOUSLY THAN THE CBDG GRANTS. WHEN WE AWARD MONEY OR PASS THROUGH FEDERAL MONEY TO FRISCO AREA NON-PROFITS, DO WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN IS AND HOW MUCH OF THAT FEE,
[01:15:02]
I MEAN IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AWARDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.THIS IS BRIAN'S POINT THE PERCENT STARTS TO MATTER.
SO CAN WE AT LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT THAT? I MEAN, HYPOTHETICALLY, IF SOMEBODY WERE TAKING 10 PERCENT OF $300,000, I GET THAT MORE THAN IT TAKES 10 PERCENT FOR 6 MILLION.
>> ARE THE ELIGIBLE TO GET ADMIN FEES ON IT, [BACKGROUND] 10 PERCENT.
>> AS WE GO THROUGH THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING I WILL BE VERY PERSONALLY INTERESTED IN.
>> WE DO HAVE TO ALLOW FOR THAT BECAUSE, WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY FRONT THE MONEY AND THEY HAND IT OUT TO THE LANDLORD.
>> THEY DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE OPERATIONAL EXPENSES TO ADMINISTER.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT THE DOLLARS THAT THEY WOULD BE RECEIVING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FEES PASS OUR COMMON SENSE TEST OF WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO ADMINISTER THE FEES.
THAT'S, I THINK, ALL I'M ASKING MY GUEST AND HIS FRIENDS TO PUT INTO IT.
>> THEN ACTUALLY THEY FRONT THAT MONEY AND THEN USUALLY [NOISE] IT'S NOT THIS MUCH MONEY, SO THEY DO QUARTERLY REPORTING BACK TO US, AND THEN WE DON'T REIMBURSE THEM TILL IT GOES THROUGH OUR AUDITING OVER HERE AT THE CITY.
>> BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO GIVE SOMEONE [NOISE] A MILLION BUCKS, MY GUESS IS THEY DON'T HAVE A BALANCE SHEET TO FLOAT A MILLION BUCKS IN.
>> THERE'S CONSIDERATIONS ON WHAT PERCENTAGE WE'RE GOING TO FRONT THEM, BUT IT WON'T BE A LOT.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THE PROGRAM GOES.
IF IT'S A MONTHLY PROGRAM AND SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET $2500 A MONTH FOR THREE MONTHS, THEN THAT WILL BASE OUR DECISION ON WHAT TO ALLOCATE THEM.
WE'LL HAVE ALL THE DETAILS FOR YOU FOR THIS PROGRAM AND FOR IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE DIRECT EXPENSES FOR ANY BUSINESS, GRANTS, DEBT.
WE JUST HAVEN'T GOT TO THAT POINT YET BECAUSE WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING LINED UP, [NOISE] AND THAT'S WHAT THESE [INAUDIBLE] ARE FOR.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER IT, BUT WE LOOK AT THESE FOR THE FUNDING WE JUST DISCUSSED, IS IT GOING TO BE THE SAME ENTITIES PRETTY MUCH THAT WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN THE 374 TO?
IT COULD BE ANYONE IN COLLIN COUNTY, AND IT CAN BE FAITH-BASED AS WELL.
[NOISE] IT DOESN'T HAVE TO JUST BE 501.
>> IT HAS TO BE 501(C)(3) BUT IT CAN BE FAITH-BASED GROUPS AS WELL.
>> IN LOOKING AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, DO WE INCREASE THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WITH THE MORE WE SPREAD THE MONEY OUT.
IF WE HAVE THREE GROUPS THAT ALL DO BASICALLY THE SAME SERVICE, IS IT MORE EFFICIENT FOR US JUST TO PICK ONE AND GIVE IT TO THEM VERSUS SPREAD IT OUT OVER THREE? BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIG NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR HELP.
I THINK THE NEXT 90-120 DAYS ARE GOING TO BE ROUGH FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
SO THAT MONEY BEING SPENT FOR ADMIN, I THINK IT'D BE A LOT BETTER USE.
I'D LIKE US TO TAKE EVERY REASONABLE METHOD OR EFFORT TO KEEP THAT, NOT JUST A PERCENT, BUT THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT, AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT NEED MONEY, AND I WANT TO GET AS MUCH OF IT OUT AS WE CAN.
>> WE DO TOO. SO I THINK AS WE MEET BACK WITH THIS TASK, [NOISE] I'LL USE ONE OF CHIEF PILON'S TASKFORCE GROUP [LAUGHTER] STRIKE TASKFORCE. NO, IT'S NOT THAT.
BUT ANYWAY, AS WE MEET BACK WITH THEM, WE'LL BE SURE AND BRING UP THESE CONCERNS, AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE DOCUMENTED, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE LAID OUT TO YOU BEFORE WE SEND ANY MONEY ANYWHERE.
>> HOW QUICKLY DO WE THINK WE CAN GET THE MONEY INTO PEOPLE'S HANDS THAT NEED IT? WHAT'S THE PROCESS FROM HERE?
>> I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO ROLL IT OUT JUNE 1ST.
>> SO DID YOU ALL HEAR WHAT SHE SAID?
AGAIN, JUST BEING THE ANNOYING ONE ON THE END, IF WE CAN SPEED THAT UP, I'D REOPEN A MEETING, AND A SPECIAL MEETING.
WE GOT PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO NEED MONEY AND WAITING THREE, FOUR WEEKS.
I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A PROCESS, WE HAVE PROCEDURES, BUT WHEN YOUR FAMILY IS FACING THESE HARD TIMES AND YOU'RE YOU'RE STRESSED OUT ABOUT IT, THAT THREE WEEKS, TWO WEEKS WILL BE HUGE.
SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO, I'M WILLING TO DO TO SPEED IT UP.
IF WE NEED TO MEET WHENEVER, I'M GAME TO SHOW UP, AND I'M SURE MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES WILL BE TOO.
I'D LIKE TO SPEED IT UP AS MUCH AS WE CAN BECAUSE PEOPLE NEED IT.
>> TO THAT POINT, SINCE WE HAVE MULTIPLE BUCKETS, WE'VE GOT THE CARES FUNDING THAT WE JUST APPROVED [NOISE] WITH THE 200 AND SOME THOUSANDS GOING TO FRISCO FAMILY SERVICES.
[01:20:02]
MAYBE SINCE THAT MONEY IS AVAILABLE NOW, IT CAN BE PUSHED OUT FOR PEOPLE NEEDING THAT IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.MAYBE WE TELL THEM TO FOCUS ON THE IMMEDIATE NEED KNOWING THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GET SOME MORE ALLOCATION FOR THIS MONEY IN JUNE TO BACKFILL.
I WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO TAKE THE 220 AND SAY, I'M GOING TO SPREAD THIS OUT OVER FOUR MONTHS FOR THIS PERSON, WHEN THEY'VE GOT A MORE BACKFILL.
>> RIGHT.THAT 224, OR WHATEVER, THAT'S INCOME-BASED.
IT'S LIKE 83,000 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR.
SO WE UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY, AND WE'VE ALL BEEN PUSHING.
COLLIN COUNTY HAS DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB OF REACHING OUT TO US EARLY ON THE HOUSING SIDE BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY STRUCTURED.
BUT WE'LL BE BRINGING BACK, HOPEFULLY, THE FIRST MEETING OF JUNE.
WE HOPE TO BRING BACK AGREEMENTS.
OF COURSE, THEY'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH LEGAL, ALL FOUR CITIES LEGAL, AND THE COUNTY.
>> I'LL BRAG ON YOU, ANITA, AND [INAUDIBLE] AND THE WHOLE FINANCE TEAM, ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU-ALL BEEN PUTTING IN.
I KNOW THIS IS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO AS [LAUGHTER] FAR AS FIGURING OUT ALL THESE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, AND READING THROUGH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS, AND TRYING TO COME UP WITH STRUCTURE AND GET THIS ON THE FLY.
SO WE'RE ALL VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE OVERTIME YOU ALL ARE PUTTING IN TRYING TO HELP OUR RESIDENTS IN THIS REGARD.
IT'S EVEN CONFUSING FOR US SITTING UP HERE TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT BUCKETS OF MONEY.
MAYBE DANA AND COMMUNICATIONS, AND OUR TEAM, ONCE THE DUST SETTLES, WE CAN PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY EASY FOR PEOPLE, OR SOME RESOURCE OR TOOL TO SAY, HERE'S ALL THE PLACES YOU CAN GO FOR HELP AND DIRECT THEM TO ONE SPOT.
>> MOST DEFINITELY, AND WE'VE ALREADY TALKED TO HER ABOUT THAT.
SHE'S JUST WAITING ON US TO GIVE HER THE DETAILS.
[LAUGHTER] SO RON AND I TALKED TO HER ABOUT THAT REALLY STRAIGHT ON BECAUSE IT IS VERY CONFUSING.
I THINK OUR CHALLENGE, AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT IT'S JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE KNOW WHAT EXPENSES WE'RE SENDING TO WHICH GRANTS, AND NOT DOUBLE-DIPPING [NOISE] [LAUGHTER] IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
ANYTIME YOU GET FEDERAL MONEY, THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT IT.
ESPECIALLY NOW, IT'S SO MUCH MONEY THAT THEY'RE SENDING ALL OVER.
THERE'S TWO BILLS NOW IN CONGRESS, HEROES AND SMART.
I JUST HEARD ABOUT THOSE YESTERDAY, A VIRTUAL CONFERENCE I'M ATTENDING THIS WEEK.
SO THERE'S GOING TO PROBABLY [NOISE] BE EVEN MORE MONEY COMING TOWARDS US.
>> IS ALL THIS MONEY GOING TO BE ASSESSED? [INAUDIBLE] HAVE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE COUNTY, OR WILL IT ALL BE DONE THROUGH US?
>> SO COLLIN COUNTY, AND I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THEY GAVE MONEY TO THE FOOD PANTRIES IN THE WHOLE COUNTY, DIFFERENT FOOD.
THEY GAVE LIKE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, I BELIEVE, TO FOOD PANTRIES.
THEN THEY GAVE THE FOUR ENTITLEMENT CITIES MONEY FOR THE HOUSING.
I DON'T THINK THE CITIZENS WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO COLLIN COUNTY FOR ANYTHING.
>> I WAS TRYING TO HOPE IT'S NOT EVEN MORE CONFUSING BECAUSE, IT'S LIKE THEY SAID, WE'RE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH IT.
>> DIMMIT COUNTY MIGHT BE DIFFERENT.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY SEND US WHEN THEY SEND THE ILA.
>> COUNSELOR, WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? [NOISE] IF NONE, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.
>> SECOND BY JOHN. ALL IN FAVOR? [NOISE] OPPOSE.
GEORGE, I THINK WE NEEDED TO GO BACK AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
>> FOR, I THINK, BUSINESS AND PROPERTY.
>> [LAUGHTER] THAT WAS GOOD, JASON. THAT WAS AWESOME.
[42. City Council discussion with City Staff concerning any actions required by City Staff as a result of any item on tonight's agenda.]
>> THAT WILL THEN MOVE US TO ITEM 43, WHICH IS CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION WITH CITY STAFF CONCERNING ANY ACTIONS REQUIRED BY CITY STAFF AS A RESULT OF ANY ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.
ANYONE NOTE ANYTHING? WE'VE JUST TABLED A FEW ITEMS.
[43. Discussion on Governance Monitoring of present City Council Meeting.]
>> THEN 44 IS GOVERNANCE MONITORING.
>> THAT'S ME. I THINK WE HAD A GREAT MEETING GETTING OUT HERE PRETTY EARLY.
ELECTED NEW LEADERSHIP, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TWO.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE CARES ACT, AND COVID, AND WE ADDED WEST NILE VIRUS.
SO WE [LAUGHTER] COVERED A LOT OF STUFF.
>> WITH THAT. I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
>> SECOND BY JOHN. SECOND BY SHONA. ALL IN FAVOR? [NOISE] OPPOSE? MOTION PASSES 6-0.
[01:25:02]
WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 8:12 PM.* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
