UH, BY THE WAY OF, UH WHERE THAT SKILL LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY AND THE OTHER SCHOOLS OF, UH, LIFE SCHOOLS AND THEN THE SECOND ONE.

UH, IS A MASTER PLAN THAT SHOWS THE ULTIMATE BUILD OUT OF A HIGH SCHOOL AND A MIDDLE SCHOOL. UH, ON THIS SITE, THERE'S A, UM, DRIVEWAY. FROM THE NORTH, THAT'LL DANIEL DALE THAT'LL SERVE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE ONE ON COAL HILL TO SERVE THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THERE'LL BE A MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL IN THIS, UH, STADIUM WITH THE TRACK AND FIELD RIGHT NOW, PARKING AND PARKING UH, THE SECOND. THE THIRD DRAWING IS THE INITIAL PHASE PHASE ONE THAT WE, UH, ARE COMING IN WITH UM, FOR PLANS, UH, TO BUILD INITIALLY. THE SCHOOLS AROUND, UM. AND 50,000 SQUARE FEET AROUND 1200 STUDENTS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL. UH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR A LOT WITH THE CITY. UM WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CONSULTANTS ABOUT SOME CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE STADIUM LIGHTNING AND LOOKING AT NO OVERFLOW INTO THE NEIGHBORS, PROVIDING A BUFFER BETWEEN US AND THE NEIGHBORS. MORE SEVERAL TIMES WITH NATHAN AND, UH, EVERYONE ELSE. UH, THE UTILITIES ARE ON THERE TO SERVE THE SCHOOL ALREADY, UM WITH THAT, SO THERE'S NOT UTILITY. WE'LL HAVE UM YOU KNOW, WE'LL PROVIDING, UM DECELERATION LANES OR TRAFFIC ENGINEER IS ALMOST COMPLETE WITH THEIR REPORT AND READY TO SUBMIT IT. AND, UM KIND OF THE ONE OTHER THING I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THAT WE'RE UH, WHERE WE CITED THE BUILDINGS AND EVERYTHING WAS TO KEEP AS MANY TREES AND TO KEEP THAT AREA AS NATURAL AS POSSIBLE. AND TO, UM UH, NOT TEAR DOWN OR NOT REMOVE UH, MANY TREES AGAIN. KEEP IT VERY NATURAL. AND, UM, OPEN THEIR AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. SO. SO, WHAT IS YOUR ENTRY EXIT? PLAY ON ON THIS, UH, THE ENTRY EXIT. UH, IF YOU SEE ON THE, UH MAYBE THE OTHER. THAT PLAN IS A ONE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN UM, ACTUALLY, 01 OF THE ON DANIEL DALE WOULD BE FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND THEN ON THE IS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL. WE ARE ALSO WE'RE JUST, UH I KNOW A BIG CONCERN IS CAR QUEUING WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS. WE HAVE WENT AND STUDIED WHAT THEIR CURRENT IS, AND THEN THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND THOSE AND ARE EXCEEDING THAT AMOUNT ON OUR CAR KEYING THAT WE HAVE SHOWN ON THIS. WELL, WE'LL BE SUBMITTING. SO WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE. AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT CAN'T HAPPEN OF CARS QUEUING OUT ON THE ROAD WAITING FOR THEIR KIDS. WE UNDERSTAND THE GREAT CONCERN WITH THAT, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF LAND HERE TO ACCOMPANY THAT. AND UH, COUNCILWOMAN TERRY BROWN HAS A QUESTION AS A SO I'M NOT THE BEST WITH DRAWINGS, BUT I'M LOOKING AT, UM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA THE STADIUM SO IN THEORY, HOW FAR IS THE STADIUM FROM? RESIDENTIAL AREA TO SPEAK TO THE DETAILS, AND THEN I'LL ADD SOMETHING IF THAT'S PROBABLY AROUND, UM, AT LEAST 100 FT. AND THEN WHAT WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED IS A SOLID BUFFER OF CEDAR TREES THAT WILL GROW THAT NOT INITIALLY DAY ONE, BUT THEY'LL GROW VERY FAST TO COME IN TOGETHER, WHICH IS PART OF THE CODE ALLOWANCE THERE. AND THEN JUST ONE. IT'S A TECHNICAL ITEM, BUT WE WORK WITH THE LIGHTING COMPANY, UH, FROM THE LIGHTING, AND THEY THEY'LL HAVE A SIX POLE SYSTEM, WHICH IS MORE THAN A NORMAL. BECAUSE WE TOLD THEM WE CAN'T HAVE ANY LIGHT. OVERFLOW THE NEIGHBORS, SO THEY'VE ALREADY DONE A, UH A, UH, STUDY. UH, FIGHTING STUDY AND THE LIGHT. AS IT'S ARRANGED RIGHT NOW, WITH THEM WOULD BE ZERO AT THE AT THE, UH, NEIGHBORS. F. NOW YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS, BUT YOU WILL HAVE NO INCREASE OF ACTUAL LIGHT. IN THE BACKYARDS THERE. AND IF I MIGHT ADD, UH

[00:30:02]

THAT'S WHAT IT SHOULD BE ABOUT. AND UH, HE SAID, ANY SCHOOL THAT SERVING KIDS WELL NEED TO BE A FAN OF SO FOR US. OUR ROLE IS TO COMPLEMENT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY ALREADY. OK, I'VE GOT, UM, JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS MYSELF. UM, ONE IS GOING BACK TO THE STADIUM. UM WELL THAT INCLUDE A LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM FOR EVENTS THAT GO ON THERE. UH, PROBABLY WE CAN UH, DISCUSS DISCUSS THAT? YEAH. I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR THAT WE'VE GOT LIGHTS AND LOUDSPEAKERS AND, UH, BACKED UP AGAINST SOME RESIDENTS. UM, THE OTHER THING I JUST THE LAST THING I WANNA MENTION IS I. I OVER IN, UH, LANCASTER, WHERE THEY HAVE A STRETCH OF EACH PLEASANT ROAD ROAD WHERE THEY BUILT A SIDEWALK THAT WIDEN UP AND SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CARRYING PEDESTRIANS AS WELL AS BICYCLE RIDERS. SO UH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT IF IT FITS, MAYBE A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP, UH MIS OFF THE STREET AND GET THEM UP ON THE SIDEWALK WITH THEY'LL BE SAYING IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT. I DID HAVE ONE MORE SHIRT, OK? UH I KNOW THIS IS PRELIMINARY. UH BUT I DON'T SEE ANY SOFTBALL OR BASEBALL FIELDS. AND I KNOW HARRINGTON PARK IS ACROSS THE STREET DOWN THE WAY. SO IS YOUR PLAN TO UTILIZE THOSE FACILITIES WITH OUR PARTS THAT THAT WOULD BE OUR HOPE. THAT WOULD BE OUR HOPE. UH, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, ONE THING WE'VE DONE IS COMPARE OUR CURRENT USAGE AND NEEDS, UH AND THEN LOOKED AT THIS PROPERTY AND SAID, OK, WHAT'S WHAT'S PRIORITY

[00:35:03]

YOUR CASE IS LOOKING FOR IT. MY GREAT GRAND ME FOR YEARS. PEOPLE WHO. I. I IS GONNA OF COURSE.

ITEM THREE B. ON THE PROGRESS OF THE FY 22, A TO FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND MCCONNELL JONES.

MR KEYS. I SEE THE JS. HE'S SAID , OR HE'S IN. UH MR JACKSON IS HERE WHO I THINK WILL LEAD US.

AND THEN, UH, MCCONNELL JONES IS YEAH. JACKSON DONE AS FAR AS YOUR YEAH. MAYOR REMEMBERS THE COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING, MR JACKSON AND CFO. IN TERMS OF THE UPDATE. AS YOU KNOW. PREVIOUSLY, I HAD BEEN THE ONE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE. UH, FOR THIS UPDATE, WE THOUGHT IT'D BE A BETTER, UH, FOR THAT UPDATE TO COME. UH, FROM OUR AUDIT GROUP, SO JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE UH, THE LEAD FROM MCCONNELL JONES ON THIS, UH 2022. AUDIT, MR CHUCK COS UH, CHUCK, IF YOU CAN HEAR US, I'M

[00:40:05]

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA WORK WITH RICHARD AND HIS TEAM TO COMPILE THE ACT FOR UH, I WOULD ESTIMATE BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK WE SHOULD BE COMPLETED. SO IT'S MY HOPE THAT EVERYTHING FROM HERE ON OUT GOES SMOOTHLY. BUT UM AGAIN, I THINK RICHARD AND HIS TEAM FOR WE KIND OF HELPING US GET THIS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. UM IT'S BEEN. IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS, OBVIOUSLY, BUT, UH, HOPEFULLY IT'S GONNA BE BROUGHT TO A CLOSE HERE. UH, IN THE NEXT WEEK. THERE. I COULD, MR JACKSON. I'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS. WE WANTED TO HAVE EXCUSE ME. WE WANTED TO HAVE THIS BRIEFING FOR YOU TONIGHT. BECAUSE OUR PLAN IS THAT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING BRING AN ACTION ITEM. THEY'RE GONNA PRESENT THE FINAL AUDIT FOR YOU TO ACCEPT ON THE 19TH. SO THAT FINAL AUDIT WILL BE THE COMPLETE PICTURE, NOT JUST AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE ON 22. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT IT.

NO. SO, UH, YEAH. SO NOW, UH, THIS COUNCIL, UH, MAYOR CITY MANAGER REFERRED ON BOTH SIDES CERTAINLY FROM THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT SIDE WELL, THE AUDIT SIDE AND WE REALLY ARE. UH UH.

IT'S CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING THERE. UH AS WE CAN BEWARE APPROACHING THE LEVELS OF REVIEW AND ACTUALLY PACKAGING. REPORTED ITSELF TOGETHER AND SO YOU KNOW, SR.

IT'S OUR HOPE AND SLASH EXPECTATION. UH, THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE HOLDERS, AND WE'RE ABLE TO YOU KNOW, TURN CHUCK LOOSE IF YOU WILL AND HIS TEAM IN TERMS OF DOING THE FULL PRESENTATION OF GOD. THE ONLY COMMENT I WOULD HAVE TO Y'ALL IS THAT IN OUR NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS THE 19TH. AND MR COS JUST SAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE COMPLETED. WE SHOULD HAVE IT.

NEXT WEEK. IT'S A COMPLETE AUDIT, WHICH MEANS IT'S GONNA BE VOLUMINOUS. IS WHATEVER TIME BETWEEN ITS RECEIPT, AND OUR NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS THAT ENOUGH TIME FOR US AS COUNSEL TO REALLY READ IT, DIGEST AND UNDERSTAND IT, EVEN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY BRIEFED THE COUNCIL ON THE 19TH. MAY. THE ANSWER IS YEAH, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT FIRST, THAT THAT'S YOUR REQUIREMENT, SO AND THEN THEY MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO YOU. BASED ON THEIR SO THEN THE TIMING MADE US WE YEARS AGO. WE AS A COUNCIL MAY NOT SEE IT ON THE 19TH. THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT'S PUTTING PUTTING IT THAT THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF THE TIMING OF THE OF THIS INFORMATION. SO I THINK BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION, WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE IT. BUT NEXT WEDNESDAY THURSDAY THAT WOULD COINCIDE WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PUT IT OUT FOR THE AGENDA. UM OR AT LEAST SHARE IT WITH THE COUNCIL. BUT IF WE NEED TO HAVE AN AUDIT MEETING PRIOR TO I UNDERSTAND THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT. SO AND SO MY APOLOGIES. NO THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. SO THE COMMITTEE HAS TO CALL FOR A SPECIAL AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING TO RECEIVE THAT, AND THEY USUALLY INTERVIEW THE AUDITOR AND RECEIVE THE REPORT AND MANAGEMENT LETTER, ETCETERA, ETCETERA, AND THEN THEY GO AND THEN MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL BASED ON THEIR REVIEW. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THAT IT'S A LITTLE ODD. THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE HERE IN DUN AND BUILD. I DO NOT SO LIKE THE THINKING IS THAT WE WANNA EXPEDITE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE WANNA GIVE NOW THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AMPLIFY. DIGEST AND UNDERSTAND AND ASK QUESTIONS. AND THEN ONCE IT'S THERE DONE, THEN WE NEED TO RECEIVE IT.

WELL, WE CAN WE RECEIVE A COPY OF TO EVEN LOOK AT BEFORE THE AUDIT COMMITTEE HAS A MEETING TO LOOK AT IT. I GUESS YOU NEVER COPIED PAID FOR IT. SO WELL, WHAT DO YOU, UM WE HAVE THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE HERE. MR. MACK. WHAT'S YOUR FEELINGS ON THIS? I DON'T I DON'T MIND EITHER WAY. IT IS WE CAN RIGHT, EVERYBODY WITH THE COMMITTEE. HAVE ITS MEETING.

YOU'RE GONNA GET THE INFORMATION. AND STUFF AS WELL. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE

[00:45:08]

MAYBE WE SHOULD HOLD OFF ON THAT. LET THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MEET. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY I'M PUTTING THIS ON THE TABLE. JUST A DISCUSSION MAKES YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID 19, I'M LIKE SURE, YEAH, AND? AND UH, I APOLOGIZE. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY BEING NEW. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE STEPS. UH BUT CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN LISTENING. UH, DURING THIS TWO MONTH PROCESS, UH, SO FAR IN TERMS OF TRYING TO GET SOMETHING IN THE HANDS OF THIS COUNCIL. UH, UH, AS SOON AS YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS SOON AS WE CAN, WHILE DOING THE DUE DILIGENCE OF THE AUDIT, BOTH ON OUR SIDE AND CERTAINLY ON THE AUDIT SIDE, AUDITOR SIDE AS WELL. SO YEAH. SO I OFFER MY APOLOGIES, SO MAYBE NO, NO, NO. A LITTLE AHEAD OF IT. YOU KNOW, I JUST THAT'S ON THE TABLE. THAT SNOWBALL WAS ROLLING DOWN HERE, SO YEAH, YEAH. YEAH. SO MAYBE WE SHOULD BREAK AND THAT IS PROBABLY SO.

YEAH, AND THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS BECAUSE THIS IS COMING TOGETHER. SO MR COSIC I WANT I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR GROUP AS WELL. AND MR JACKSON. YOU'RE YOUR GROUP AS WELL BECAUSE AND THIS IS FINALLY SO PROGRESS THAT WE NEED NOW. UH, MR MR COS LIKE WITH WITH THAT SAID I I'M GONNA ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT THE 21. MANAGEMENT LETTER. YOU KNOW, AND OR IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THAT AS WELL. SO WE YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THE FISCAL YEAR 21 MANAGEMENT LETTER, SIR.

WE? I BELIEVE YOU HAD A COPY OF IT, DIDN'T YOU? BECAUSE NOT CLEAR WHAT YOUR HAS 22. IT'S THE 22 AUDIT. YOU'RE ASKING. HE'S TALKING ABOUT? NO, NO, NO, NO, UH, IN TERMS OF 21, BECAUSE I KNOW, UH FROM A SEPARATE CONVERSATION WITH, UH COUNCILMAN MAC BURNETT. UH, THE QUESTION CAME UP IN TERMS OF WHAT WHAT THE FINDINGS WERE IN THE MANAGEMENT COMMENTS WERE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S AUDIT. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S A DIFFERENT SUBJECT FOR A DIFFERENT TIME.

THERE IS SOMETHING FOR DIFFERENT TIME, OK? THANK THANK YOU. CITY ATTORNEY. AND SO, UH, AND I GUESS THE OTHER QUESTION IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A ARDUOUS PROCESS. REALLY? WHAT'S THIS GONNA COST US? AND IT'S NOT FOR ME KNOW WE WITHIN BUDGET. ARE WE OVER BUDGET OR WHERE? WHERE ARE WE? UM THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION I WOULD SAY FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, UH, WE WILL HAVE TO APPROACH THIS BODY. UH, WITH UH, ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT. UH I KNOW FROM FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER FROM THE 2024 BUDGET. THE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE WAS NOT INCLUDED. AS PART OF THE, UH AS PART OF THE 24 BUDGET. HOWEVER. UH I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT IN SAYING THAT THOSE EXPENDITURES MORE THAN LIKELY. UH BE, UH, EXPECTED UM, IN TERMS OF BUILDINGS AND DIFFERENT THINGS COMING IN TO US. FROM THE FARM SO UH, I GUESS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES, I FORESEE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES. AND UH, WOULD REQUIRE AGAIN MORE DISCUSSION WITH THIS BODY. FOR WE'VE ALREADY HAD ONE AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT. I RECALL WHAT IT SOMEWHERE AROUND $90,000. OFF ON THAT, BUT I KNOW WE DID WANT THEM. LIKE 19 $96,000 WAS AN AM THAT CONTRACT. WITH MCDONNELL JONES. SO THEY THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING THERE'S AN OUTSTANDING UH UH, INVOICE. UM, ON THE TABLE FROM MCCONNELL JONES. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO REVIEW ANY AGREEMENTS OR AMENDMENTS TO SET AGREEMENT. SO IF THERE WAS THAT ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION THAT WAS OUT THERE.

AND SOMEONE CAN POINT ME IN THAT DIRECTION JUST FOR EDUCATION. THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. OF MEMORY HALL. UH, BECAUSE CERTAINLY SO THE, UH THERE'S BEEN ONE AMENDMENT THAT I KNOW

[00:50:09]

THE COUNCIL HAD HIGHER HEWITT. SO TO DO A FACILITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. A LOT OF THE INFORMATION IS PERTINENT, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED AS I'VE BEEN SHARING WITH YOU THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS INSTEAD OF GOING BACK AND STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN. I THINK WE CAN TAKE THIS DOCUMENT TO AN UPDATE ON THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, IS, UH, NOT INCLUDING PUBLIC SAFETY WITH THIS THAT WOULD DO A SEPARATE OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS FOR POLICE AND FIRE AND OUR NEEDS THERE.

UM I DON'T SEE ANYBODY IN THE CROWD, SO NO RESIDENTS HERE FOR THOSE WORDS. THANK YOU. OK, THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE FOR CITIZENS INPUT.

[3. CITIZENS' INPUT]

UM CAN BE HEARD OBVIOUSLY, BY THE PEOPLE HERE BUT NOT BROADCAST. LET ME GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT ON THE RECORDS FOR OUR TECH TEAM. UH, WE DO HAVE A POLICY IN OUR CITY THAT DURING THE ELECTION PERIOD, WE DO NOT BROADCAST CITIZEN COMMENTS. UH, YOU WILL HEAR THEM HERE WHILE YOU'RE HERE, BUT WE DON'T RECORD THEM. WE DON'T BROADCAST THEM SO TECH TEAM IF YOU WOULD GIVE ME AN AFFIRMATION MIND, SO I'M AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT WE HAD DISCUSSED THAT AND WE ACTUALLY REVIEWED THE POLICY AND WE ACTUALLY COULD NOT FIND WHERE THAT WAS ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED. I KNOW IT HAD BEEN A CUSTOMARY PRACTICE, SO IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, BUT WE WERE PLANNING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BROADCASTING. OKAY LET'S LET'S REWIND JUST A LITTLE BIT, AND IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE AN OPEN DISCUSSION WITH COUNSEL. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS IN IN THE BRIEFING SESSIONS THREE OR FOUR TIMES. AND THE CONSENSUS WAS TO LEAVE THE POLICY, AND I KNOW THAT IS NOT CODIFIED INSTEAD OF THAT, IN A BRIEFING SESSION TWO OR THREE TIMES WE DO NOT HAVE THIS IN WRITING IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR POLICY IS. IT IS OUR PRACTICE THAT WE DO NOT BROADCAST DURING CITIZEN. UH, CITIZEN COMMENTS DURING THE ELECTION PERIOD, WHICH IS WE ARE NOW IN THAT PARTICULAR PERIOD, SO IT HAS BEEN OUR PRACTICE TO CONTINUE THAT IN TERMS OF WHAT I'VE RECEIVED, THERE HAS BEEN NO OPPOSITION TO NOT DOING IT. AND SO IF THERE'S ANY DESIRE ON THIS

[01:15:01]

THANK YOU. UM I'D LIKE TO ASK THE ATTORNEY SINCE WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD LEGALLY UH, CAUSE US TO NOT BROADCAST THIS IT WOULD IT BE YOUR OPINION THAT WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND BROADCAST THERE. THIS IS YOUR MEETING. THESE ARE YOUR RULES. THAT'S BEEN YOUR CUSTOM AND PRACTICE. FOR A LONG TIME. SO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE POLICY WHENEVER YOU DEEM IT APPROPRIATE. OKAY. WOULD THIS BE A CONSENSUS LOOKING FOR BUT LET ME LET ME LET ME INTERJECT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN OF THE OPINION THAT WE SHOULD BROADCAST. FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES, HOWEVER, NOTING THAT THE PERSON SITTING IN THIS CHAIR IS PRESIDING OVER THIS MEETING.

AND KNOWING HOW WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTIONEERING. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS. IF THERE IS ELECTIONEERING THAT THE PERSON PRESIDING OVER THIS MEETING HAS THE AUTHORITY TO STOP SOMEONE FROM ELECTION DOING ELECTIONEERING. SO THAT HAS BEEN MY OPINION FROM THE VERY OUTSET THAT WE OUGHT TO GO AHEAD AND GO BROADCAST AND RECORD BUT ALLOW THE MAYOR PRESIDING OVER THE MEETING. IF ELECTIONEERING DOES TAKE PLACE TO ASK THAT PERSON, IF NOT DEMAND THAT PERSON TO SEE SELECTION THAT'S MY OPINION. WE CAN'T TAKE A VOTE. ABOUT IT LIKE HERE. HERE HE IS, WITH THE CONSENSUS THING AGAIN. UM I AM WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND ALLOW IT. YES. INSTEAD OF DOING A CONSENSUS, YOU CAN ANNOUNCE WHAT YOU WANNA DO AND HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE THIS. AND THEN IF SOMEONE WANTS TO CHALLENGE YOU, THEY CAN CALL A POINT OF ORDER AND PUT IT TO A VOTE DOESN'T REQUIRE AN AGENDA ITEM. BECAUSE IT'S JUST A RULING BY THE MAYOR. OK, SO THAT'S CAPITULATE THIS AS BEST AS I CAN. WE HAVE A POLICY THAT IS UNWRITTEN THAT THE CITY CAN'T DURING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS DURING THE ELECTION PERIOD, WHICH WE ARE NOW IN. THAT WE DO NOT BROADCAST OR RECORD CITIZEN COMMENTS FOR FEAR OF ELECTIONEERING. THAT HAS BEEN IN PRACTICE FOR LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN IN THIS CHAIR. I HAVE BEEN OF THE OPINION PUBLICLY AND VOCALLY IN CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING SESSIONS THAT I BELIEVE WE OUGHT TO ALLOW IT. BUT THAT THIS. THE MAYOR DOES PRESIDE OVER THE MEETING. AND IF ELECTIONEERING DOES OCCUR, THEN THE MAYOR HAS THE AUTHORITY TO STOP THAT PERSON FROM DOING ELECTIONEERING. SO UNLESS THERE IS A POINT OF ORDER. AND OPPOSITION TO WHAT I WISH TO PROCEED. AS ALLOWING IT TO BE RECORDED AND BROADCAST. IT DOES ANYONE HAVE A POINT OF ORDER THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE? BEING NONE. THEN WE WILL NOT PRECLUDE. THE BROADCASTING AND THE RECORDING OF CITIZEN COMMENTS DURING THE ELECTION PERIOD. AND I WILL TAKE THAT AS TO BE IN EFFECT FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE ELECTION PERIOD.

THANK YOU. CITY ATTORNEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND COUNSEL ON THAT. SO TECH TEAM WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS UP AND ROLLING. VERY GOOD, OK? SO CITIZENS, YOU HAVE HEARD THIS DISCUSSION. AND I WOULD REQUEST IF YOU HAD IN MIND TO DO ANY ELECTIONEERING. PLEASE DON'T DO SO. BECAUSE IT WILL SAVE ME HAVING TO STOP YOU AND IT WILL SAVE YOU HAVING TO BE CALLED UPON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO UH, THE CITIZEN COMMENTS CARDS THAT I HAVE IN THE ORDER. I'VE RECEIVED THEM, JUDY SMITHY. IF I MAY I INTERRUPT, UH, BEF. DON'T START THE TIMER. JUST I THINK CITY MANAGER AND CITY SECRETARY. WHAT WHAT JUST OCCURRED WITH THIS? I THINK NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED IN OUR MINUTES AS WELL. AND THAT WILL SERVE AS AN ARCHIVE FOR WHAT WE'LL BE DOING.

SO JUST, HOWEVER, THAT NEEDS TO BE ARTICULATED AND CHARACTERIZED IN THE MINUTES I THINK WOULD BE WORTHWHILE. ALL RIGHT THERE AS WELL. YEAH YEAH. DO OK. ALL RIGHT, VERY M, SMITHY. MY NAME IS JUDY SMITHY. I LIVE AT 1806 CEDAR HILL ROAD AND I DID NOT GROW UP IN DUNCANVILLE. BUT I GOT HERE AS SOON AS I COULD. AH! THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. WE HAVE DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK FOR THE CITY. OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DO OUTSTANDING JOBS FOR US, AND I'M PROUD OF THEM. RIGHT NOW. THE REASON I'VE COME IS BECAUSE IN DRIVING AROUND, ESPECIALLY AROUND CITY HALL, THERE ARE TULIPS AND THERE ARE BRIGHT

[01:20:01]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ERICA BROWNING. ERICA BROWNING 442 EAST CHERRY STREET. UH, I WANNA SAY FIRST OF ALL THAT. I'M VERY GLAD THAT YOU'VE REVERSED THAT, UH, PRACTICE OF YOURS. UM BECAUSE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD, UM THE LAD PRESERVATION ADVOCACY HAD OVER 200 PEOPLE IN THIS BUILDING AND OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF OF PUBLIC COMMENTS. NONE OF THAT WAS RECORDED, AND THAT WAS A HISTORIC MOMENT IN OUR CITY. SO I'M GLAD THAT THAT KIND OF THING WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. UM I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT, UM, THE NATURE PRESERVE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN EIGHT MONTHS AND THERE'S NOTHING VISIBLE THAT IS HAPPENING OVER THERE. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES WORKING VERY HARD TO GET A MASTER PLAN GOING, BUT, UM, WE'RE NOT BEING UPDATED AND OUR, UM, NATURE CONSERVANCY IS FIELDING QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS ALL THE TIME ASKING WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON, AND WE DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. AND SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT THERE BE A STAFF LIAISON WHO CAN GIVE? UM A MEMBER OF OUR BOARD REGULAR UPDATES SO THAT WE HAVE ANSWERS FOR THE PEOPLE AND, UM SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND MAYBE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BE OF SERVICE AS WELL. SO I JUST WANTED TO SUGGEST THAT THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CINDY JOHNSON.

I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN TALKED DOWN TO AND TREATED AS AN UNVALUED HUMAN BEING. MY HANDS ARE TIED. I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. WHAT IT APPEARS IS THAT I JUST KEEP SPENDING MONEY PAYING THIS RENT BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA LOSE MY SPACE. BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. SO I REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

[02:10:04]

MISTER A THANK YOU, MAYOR. MR BROWN MY QUESTION PRETTY SIMPLE WHEN YOU. YOU MENTIONED THE NEIGHBORS. DID YOU TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU PLAN WAS TO DO? WE WENT AT THE TIME WHEN WE PURCHASED WE WASN'T WE WASN'T SURE WHETHER WE WAS GONNA MAKE IT AN AIRBNB OR JUST RENT IT UNTIL WE STARTED. WE STARTED RESEARCHING. WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE BETWEEN AIR BNB INCOME VERSUS JUST REGULAR RENTAL INCOME. AND THEY AIRBNB INCOME. IT'S LIKE 2 TO 1. SO YEAH, I STARTED TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORS AND YEAH, THEY THEY'RE INTERESTED IN DOING IT, TOO.

SOME OF THEM WERE OLDER AND THEY WANNA GET OUT OF THEIR PLACE, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY WANT TO RENT IT. WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING. THEY MIGHT FOLLOW SUIT. I DON'T KNOW.

BUT SOME OF THEM WAS HERE WHEN WE WAS IN THE FIRST MEETING. TO SEE HOW THIS PROCESS ACTUALLY DEVELOPS AND HOW IT DOES. BUT YEAH, I DID. I TALKED TO. SO AROUND THAT BLOCK. HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU TALKED TO THREE. THREE BECAUSE THEY WAS EVEN APPROACHING ME BECAUSE WE WAS FIXING. WE HAD SPRINKLER LEAKS. WE HAD ALL KINDS OF STUFF THAT WAS HAPPENING. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, WE STARTED COMING ACROSS DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. SO HE WAS TAKING CARE OF ALL OF THAT PAINTING AND ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF. JUST GETTING IT READY.

AND PUTTING SMOKE DETECTORS IN ALL THEIR BEDROOMS. DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IF WE'RE GONNA RENT IT OUT. AND HAVE HAVE HAVE YOU, UM EXPERIENCE OR OR OR DO YOU? YOU UNDERSTAND THE GUIDELINES? THAT THAT THEY ASK YOU TO FOLLOW. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. I'M A MASTER ELECTRICIAN, BEN. BEEN IN CONSTRUCTION FOR OVER 30 YEARS. UM SO, YEAH, I DO UNDERSTAND THE GUIDELINES. WE OWN OTHER RENTAL PROPERTIES AROUND THE METROPLEX. WE DON'T OWN OTHER AIR BN BS, BUT WE OWN OTHER RENTAL PROPERTIES. SOME I'M USED TO KEEPING EVERYTHING UP FOR SECTION EIGHT. FOR DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT ARE RENT FROM US, SO I'M KINDA I'M KINDA USED TO FOLLOWING THEIR GUIDELINES. THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM, SIR. MR CONTRERAS. MAKE SURE THAT AN APPROPRIATE TIME I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE ATTORNEY. NOW IT'S TIME. THANK YOU, UM MR HAGER. NO WE HAVE, UM, AS THE MAYOR ALLUDED TO IN THE PAST. UM WELL, JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO THAT WE HAVE, UM KIND OF LEAN TOWARDS OWNER OCCUPIED, UM AIR BN BS. BUT TO BE, UH CERTAIN THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING ANY STATE MANDATES THAT PROTECT THE RIGHTS FOR AIRBNBS, ARE WE, UH LEGALLY. ON SOUND GROUND TO, UM THE SAME TO REQUIRE THAT THERE IS A CASE OUT OF SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA. UH, WAS CHALLENGED ON THAT REQUIRES DOESN'T REQUIRE OWNER OCCUPANT BUT REQUIRED A MANAGER TO BE ON SITE WITH PROPERTY WHEN I WAS RENTED THAT'S BEEN UPHELD AS BEING CONSTITUTIONAL. REQUIRING THE OWNER TO LIVE. THERE IS NOT THAT'S THAT CALIFORNIA CASE. SO IT REQUIRES THAT THERE BE AN ON PREMISE. MANAGER OR SUPERVISOR OR SOMEONE. I MEAN, I GUESS MANAGER BEST WAY OF SAYING IT ON THE PREMISE WHILE IT'S BEING RENTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING THE DECISION TONIGHT IS THAT SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE TO ADOPT IN ORDER TO ENFORCE THAT YOU YOU WOULD HAVE TO MAKE IT A CONDITION. OF YOUR YOUR INQUIRED TO YOU ARE. ALLOWED TO MAKE

[02:15:01]

YOU COULD ADD ANOTHER ONE. IF YOU CHOSE TO. YEAH, THANK YOU. QUESTION AGAIN FOR CITY ATTORNEY THAT THEY MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE STATE LAW. IN TERMS OF SHORT TERM RENTALS. THE STATE LAW SAYS ITS SHORT TERM RENTALS MAY NOT GENERALLY BE PROHIBITED. THEY'RE NOT GENERALLY PROHIBITED ALLOWED WHAT I'M SAYING SO STATE LAW STATE LAW DOESN'T DOES NOT PERMIT PROHIBITING CERTAIN TERM RENTALS MY READING OF THE LAW ITSELF, BUT WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT AT TIMES WE HAVE DISAPPROVED SHORT TERM RENTALS. FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. WHICH WOULD IN THE PAST, NOT BEEN A PROBLEM IN TERMS OF YOU EXAMINING THAT, AND SAYING THAT WE CORRELATION OF ANYTHING AND THEY, UH, ONE OF THE OWNERS LIVED IN CALIFORNIA. ONE WAS ANOTHER ONE OUT OF STATE, ANOTHER ONE NOT IN THE AREA. I AT THE SAME TIME, THIS COUNCIL HAS ALSO DISAPPROVED SPECIAL USE PERMITS FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS BASED ON CONDITIONS OR COMMENTS MADE DURING DURING PUBLIC HEARINGS AND QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT. SO WE AS A COUNCIL DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY I BELIEVE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT WITHOUT BEING IN VIOLATION OF TEXAS STATE LAW.

YES, WE'VE DONE SO IN THE PAST WITH ANY VIOLATION. SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS THAT WHILE THE LOSSES GENERATED, YOU KNOW SOME CITIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO TASK BY ATTORNEYS BY BY AN OVERALL CITY, SAYING YOU WILL NOT HAVE A SHORT TERM MENTAL IN THE CITY PERIOD. THAT IS A VIOLATION OF THE LAW. WHAT WE ARE DOING IN TERMS OF IN INDIVIDUALLY LOOKING AT HIS SUP IS NOT IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW YOU'RE REFERRING TO STATE LAW IS ACTUALLY CASE LAW STATUTE, RIGHT? SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION HAS BEEN OVERTURNED BY A COURT. RIGHT BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE CASE BY CASE REVIEW YOU'VE GRANTED SOME.

YOU'VE DENIED SOME RIGHT AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR TO THE COUNSEL THAT UNDERSTANDING MY I'VE DONE SOME READING ON THE CASE, LAW AND UNDERSTANDING IN TERMS OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OTHER CITIES IN THE STATE, SO WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE AN SUP WITHOUT LOOKING TOWARD AN OVERALL GENERAL PROHIBITION OF SHORT TERM RENTALS WITHIN THE CITY BOUNDARIES WOULD THAT BE, UM, A MOTION? IF WE WERE MAKING A MOTION THAT WOULD BE A MOTION TO APPROVE ON THE CONDITION THAT A MANAGER, UM LIVE ON SITE. THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT THE ENTIRE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO LIVE THERE. THEY HAVE TO BE PRESENT DURING THE RENTAL PERIOD. THERE HAS TO BE AN ON SITE MANAGER PRESENT DURING THE RENTAL PERIOD. SO THAT'S HOW THEY THAT'S HOW THE MOTION SHOULD BE ORDERED. IF YOU WERE TO MAKE THAT IF YOU WERE TO ADD THAT CONDITION IS THAT THERE A MANAGER HAS TO BE PRESENT ON SITE DURING THE RENTAL PERIOD.

WELL, IS THAT ALL NIGHT? WELL THAT'S JUST PRESENT SO THEY CAN GET A HOLD OF US AND WE COME OUT. THEY HAVE TO BE PRESENT DURING ON SITE ON SITE ON SITE, SO I'LL HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE OUT THERE. ON SITE MANAGING IF THAT CONDITION IS ADOPTED AND IT HAS NOT. IT'S ONLY BEEN DISCUSSED.

AS YET. SO, UH, MISS CHERRY. JERRY BROWN. I'M SORRY. YEAH, I'M TOTALLY CONFUSED. SO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT CALIFORNIA? SO IT'S A US CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE. SO WHEN YOU SAID ON SITE THAT'S LIKE THEY HAVE TO GO CHECK OUT THE PROPERTY. WHILE A RENT IS THERE THEY HAVE TO PHYSICALLY. STAY ON THE PROPERTY. SANTA MONICA, UH, ADOPTED A REGULATION THAT SAID THERE HAS TO BE AN ON SITE. PRESENT MANAGER DURING THE RENTAL PERIOD. SO IF YOU RENTED IT FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, THE MANAGER HAS TO BE PRESENT. OK? AND THAT IT WAS UPHELD AS BEING CONSTITUTIONAL. SOME OTHER CITIES HAVE ADOPTED OWNER OCCUPANT ONLY THAT'S BEEN STRUCK DOWN THAT WAS BEEN STRUCK DOWN IN TEXAS AS A MATTER OF FACT, IN AN ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION THAT GRAPEVINE ADOPTED, HAS BEEN STRUCK DOWN. THE TIER SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWED CERTAIN AREAS OF TOWN THAT ARLINGTON HAD TO HAVE ZONES WHERE THERE WAS NO UH UM STR IS ALLOWED AND THEN ZONES WHERE THEY WERE ALLOWED. THAT IS AT LEAST TO THIS POINT BEEN UPHELD. SO WHAT WE RECOMMENDED TO YOU ALL WAS DO IT ON A SUP BASIS. LOOK AT EACH PROPERTY INDIVIDUALLY, LOOK AT EACH OWNER INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN MAKE A DETERMINATION ON WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ON CRITERIA THAT NATHAN HAS DISCUSSED AND THE CONDITIONS THAT YOU PUT IN PLACE, AND AS I SAID, NO REITERATE, HISTORICALLY, WE AS A COUNCIL HAVE APPROVED SUPS WHERE

[02:20:05]

IF THERE IS A MOTION TO APPROVE, THAT IS WHAT WE WILL APPROVE THE MOTION, OR WE WILL REJECT THAT MOTION AND DISAPPROVE THE SP. SOMETIMES WE GET CONFUSED ON THAT. BUT BASICALLY WE ALWAYS TAKE WHAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT. THAT'S BEST FOR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE ALWAYS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE AND THEN WE THEN WE VOTE ON WHETHER WE APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE. SO WE GOT CONFUSED IN THAT GOT WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE A FEW TIMES, BUT WE'VE STOPPED THAT NOW. SO YOU KNOW, SO RIGHT? WE DON'T UNDERSTAND. I KNOW THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE NOW KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. SO THE CHAIR. I'M GLAD THIS IS BEING RECORDED. UH, SO THE CHAIR I SEE NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM FIVE DNS UP FOR A SHORT TERM RENTAL AT 235 GREENSTONE COURT. WE HAVE MOST TO IMPROVE MR VERA CRUZ MOTION TO APPROVE. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

THEY'RE A SECOND. SECOND. THE WAY IT IS. WE ARE MAKING A MOTION TO APPROVE EXACTLY WHAT WE SAY WITH NO CHANGE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR OF THIS ITEM, AS STATED, AS INDICATED, WITH NO CHANGES, PLEASE VOTE IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION. THE ITEM IS DISAPPROVED OF A VOTE OF 6 TO 1.

MR VERACRUZ, DISSENTING. THANK YOU. UH, WE ARE NOW MOVING ON TO ITEM. FIVE E, WHICH IN THE PAST

[4.K. Consider a Resolution authorizing the approval of a Earnest Money contract agreement be for the purchase of real property at 200 W. Center Street, Duncanville, Texas 75116.]

THE CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDS DOWNTOWN LAND BANKING. AS A STRATEGY TO ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT. LOCAL DEVELOPER. LOCAL DEVELOPER IS INTERESTED IN THE NEARBY PROPERTY, WHICH IS A LATER ITEM ON TONIGHT IS THE NEXT ITEM. UM IS INTERESTED IN WHAT HAPPENS.

WITH THE PROPERTY AND THE OWNERS ARE LOOKING TO SELL IN THEIR OTHER ACTIONS BEING TAKEN. ON THE PROPERTY AND AROUND IT. LAND BANKING WILL ALLOW THE CITY IN THE D CD CDC AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAFEGUARD A PRIME DOWNTOWN PROPERTY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS PROPERTY IS THE 200 WEST CENTER STREET. UM SELLER IS SC FUNERAL HOMES OF TEXAS INCORPORATED. THE BAR BEING THE

[02:25:04]

RIGHT. BUT THE RESOLUTION DOESN'T SAY THAT. SAYS A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF DUNCANVILLE AUTHORIZE AUTHORIZING THE DU DUNKAN COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO PURCHASE THE REAL PROPERTY 200 WEST CENTER STREET AND AN EXPENDITURE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 100 AND $50,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

AND IT SAYS NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED. THE DUNCANVILLE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IS HERE BY AUTHORIZED TO PURCHASE THE REAL PROPERTY LOCATED 200 WEST CENTER . THERE IS NO MENTION OF PRESENTATION OF EARNEST MONEY, WHICH IS WHAT IS, UH, AGENDA ITEM. PARDON ME. SORRY I THOUGHT THAT WAS ON THE EARNEST MONEY CONTRACTS ATTACHED TO THE RESOLUTION. IT'S PART OF THE AGENDA PACKET. IS THERE ANY QUESTION THAT THE COUNCIL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE AUTHORIZING THE E DC TO PURCHASE THIS LAND? I KNOW I'M ON A VERY TECHNICAL ISSUE HERE. YOU'VE ALL YOU'VE TAUGHT US TO READ THINGS VERY CAREFULLY AND TO MAKE SURE WHAT WE ARE READING IS UNDERSTOOD IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE VOTING UPON. THE CONTRACT.

THE EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT IS EXHIBIT B, AS MR BREWER CORRECTLY STATED IN PARAGRAPH NUMBER TWO, SAYS ACU TO OF THIS CONTRACT WITH $10,000 LEADS TO ITEM NUMBER ONE. THE CONTRACT SALES PRICE OF $650,000. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING OTHER THAN THE TECHNICALITY OF THE RESOLUTION AS READ. AND IN THE DOCUMENT THAT I'M GONNA PUT MY NAME ON OR

[02:30:07]

FOR YOU TO VOTE ON. I UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY, I GET THAT I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT THE AGENDA ITEM THAT WE HAVE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. ONLY THE CONTRACT IS AN EXHIBIT TO THE ITEM AND THE RESOLUTION DOES NOW I'M SAYING IF YOU AS OUR LEGAL ADVISER ON THIS A RE OKAY WITH HOW THE WORDING OF THE AGENDA READS AND THE ROOTING OF THE RESOLUTION, WHICH IS NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH EARNEST MONEY, BUT THE CONTRACT ATTACHED TO THE RESOLUTION THERE IN THIS MONEY CONTRACT DOES LEAD TO THE EVENTUAL PURCHASE. I'M OK. BUT I'M JUST SAYING, YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME PERSONALLY TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE WORDING OF THE RESOLUTION. THE WORDING OF WHAT WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA MATCH AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY DON'T IN YOUR OPINION. YEAH, OK, WE CAN VOTE. I'M SORRY WE CAN VOTE. OK? I JUST WANNA MAKE CLEAR IN TERMS OF A AND B AND C SOMETIMES END UP IN QR AND Z. ALL RIGHT. OK, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO CITY ATTORNEY HAS PUT ME AT EASE. IN TERMS OF MY UNDERSTANDING HOW WE PUT THINGS TOGETHER. NO FAULT OF YOURS, MR BREWER. ABSOLUTELY OK. UH, MR CONTRERAS. UM, WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON? WE ARE VOTING ON A CONTRACT TO PUT $10,000 DOWN ON HIS EARNEST MONEY ON 200 WEST CENTER STREET, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY AT $650,000 BY THE DUNCANVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL. CORPORATION CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE EXHIBIT B IS ATTACHED TO THE RESOLUTION.

AS EXPLAINED TO US BY THE ESQUIRE, HAGER. SO IS MY, UH QUESTION, WHICH IS GONNA BE REGARDING HOW WE CAME TO THE VALUE OF $650,000 ON THIS PROPERTY. IS IT PERTINENT NOW OR IN THE NEXT? IT IS NOT PERTINENT. AT THIS POINT. IT IS NOT PERTINENT. WE ARE WE ARE VOTING ON APPROVING WHAT THE D CE DC HAS SAID THAT THEY WISH TO DO HAS NOTHING. THAT QUESTION IS NOT PERTINENT TO WHAT WE HAVE TO VOTE. OK, MR. THANK YOU, MA. BECAUSE THIS ORIGINALLY HAD BEEN ON A AND I HAD REQUESTED TO HAVE IT MOVED OVER. UM AND SO I'M VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THIS AND SOME CITIZENS NOTICED THAT THERE'S TWO PROPERTIES HERE THAT WE'RE MAKING SOME DECISIONS ON THAT A RE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. AND I. I THINK QUESTION. I'VE BEEN ASKED SEVERAL TIMES, AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME PUBLIC DISCUSSION AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE THIS PRESENTATION. IS THE BIG QUESTION IS WHY PEOPLE ARE ASKING, WHY ARE WE PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY AND SO UH, MR BREWER, COULD YOU SPEAK TO THAT AND I'VE GOT SOME THOUGHTS AS WELL. YES, SIR. UM AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE PRESENTATION FOR THE NEXT ITEM. IT'S UM THIS. YOU USE TWO PARCELS WILL BE A PART OF THE CREATE A PROJECT THAT IS, UH AH! HEADED BY NIE. DEVELOPMENT LLC OR AND TIM MAIDEN AND THIS PROJECT IS, UH THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS THESE TWO PARCELS. AS A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. PRIMARILY IS A FOR RETAIL AND, UH A RESTAURANT AS WELL, AS, UH, USING THE ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR UM OR THE COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO PARCELS. FOR THE GREATER INTENT FOR THE FOR THAT GREATER PROJECT, WHICH IS, UH, AS WE SEE IN THE NEXT PRESENTATION, A PICKLE BALL. UH DEVELOP MENT. AND OF RESTAURANTS. BREWER WE NEED TO BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL. I KNOW WE'RE MISTER KOONTZ IS GOING WITH THIS QUESTION. BUT

[02:35:02]

I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE VISION OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. IT'S A GOOD QUESTION IN TERMS OF ANSWERING IT AS WELL. BUT YOU CAN'T GO INTO WHAT THE NEXT ITEM IS IT GOING TO BE PROPOSING? WE GOTTA TAKE THAT AS A SEPARATE PIECE. YEAH. SO IT IT'S IF MI MI. WELL IF MR FINCH CAN YOU HELP, MR BROWN, IF YOU DON'T MIND IF I COULD JUST SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT, SO, UM, UH, MR BREWER AND I DID MEET WITH THE DUNKEL COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND WENT THROUGH THIS, UM, SO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION AT 200 SOUTH MAIN STREET. IT'S A 7500 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY, UH, THAT THAT'S OBVIOUSLY EXISTED FOR SOME TIME NOW, UM, IT'S IN DECENT SHAPE. WHAT I WOULD SAY I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK THROUGH THE BUILDING. UH, IT DOES NEED SOME ROOF WORK. THERE IS SOME STUFF ON THE INSIDE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY SOME LEAKING IN THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WERE ON THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING, BUT, UH, IT'S CERTAINLY UH THOSE TYPES OF MATTERS CAN BE CORRECTED. IN TERMS OF, UH, THE BUILDING AND FUTURE OF THAT BUILDING. I THINK THAT, UH, THE CONVERSATION THAT I WOULD TELL YOU THAT I HAVE WITH THE D CE DC WAS WHILE THERE MAY BE A POTENTIAL TEMPORARY USE FOR THAT EXISTING 7500 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THE REAL OPPORTUNITY IN HERE. IS THE FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT PARCEL. WHETHER OR NOT IT COMBINES WITH A SEPARATE PARCEL AND ADJACENT PARCEL IN THE FUTURE IS SOMETHING TO FIGURE OUT. UM I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL PHASING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE TO REALLY DEVELOP A MIXED USE, UH, FACILITY THAT WOULD INVOLVE RESIDENTIAL RETAIL, A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT. AS WE START TO TALK ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL AS THE DOWNTOWN VISION PLAN AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PURCHASE, THE D CDC WANTED TO GO AND ACQUIRE THIS PARCEL SO THAT IT COULD HELP WITH CONTROLLING THE DESTINY OF THAT VISION FOR THAT SPECIFIC AREA AND WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF THE ADJACENT PARCELS AND, ADDITIONALLY, A POSSIBLE REUSE OF THAT BUILDING FOR THE SHORT TERM, WHILE THOSE LONGER TERM PLANS ARE, UH ENVISIONED AND FIGURED OUT THAT HELPS A LOT. THANKS. UH, MISTER COATES.

UH, THANK YOU, MR FINCH, I. I COULDN'T COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER MYSELF, AND THAT'S A AGAIN YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT, AND THAT IS IN THE DOWNTOWN DUNCANVILLE DISTRICT. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN, RATHER PASSIVE ABOUT EXECUTING SOME OF OUR PLANS FOR REDEVELOPING THAT AREA. A. AND THIS IS, UH, YOU KNOW, MORE AGGRESSIVE MOVE. UM AND SO UH, BUT AGAIN ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO START TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER PROJECT AS WELL, I BELIEVE THE PUBLIC WILL ALSO SEE UM, HOW THESE THINGS WORK TOGETHER, AND I WANTED TO AGAIN. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE WE'D HAD THIS CONVERSATION. MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE. AMONG COUNCIL AND I SAW A LOT OF STUFF HERE THAT I HADN'T SEEN BEFORE. SO I APPRECIATE AGAIN. THE PRESENTATION. BUT JUST FOR THE BUZZWORD THESE DAYS IS TRANSPARENCY, RIGHT? AND SO YOU KNOW? FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAKE TO KNOW WHY IS THE CITY PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY? I THINK, UH, MR FINCH SUMMED IT UP, I. I JUST HAD ONE BRIEF QUESTION. UH, SO THE DEED RESTRICTION IS THAT IT CAN'T BE USED FOR CRE CRE CREMATORIUM OR FUNERAL HOME. SO YES, THAT'S CORRECT, SIR. THANK YOU. OK, MR MC BURNETT. MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND WE HAVE MOST TO PROVE IT AND THE SECOND WHO, UH, WHO WAS THE SECOND MISTER KOONTZ. UH I SEE THAT MR CONTRERAS HAD ANOTHER LIGHT ON SO, UH, BUT I AM PERMITTED TO ALLOW DISCUSSION AFTER A MOTION AND A SECOND. I AM GOING TO DO THAT. MR. CONTRERAS, YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT IS JUST A COMMENT. UH UH, BECAUSE I I'M I'M NOT, UM, IN DISFAVOR OF THIS, BUT I THINK IN THE FUTURE, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION. PUBLIC CONVERSATION ABOUT ARE, UM REASONS WHY WE WANT TO GET INTO LAND ACQUISITION. YOU TOUCHED ON IT LIGHTLY, BUT I THINK IN THE FUTURE WE SHOULD HAVE A BROADER DISCUSSION WITH THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THE BENEFIT OF THAT FROM OUR STANDPOINT, SINCE THAT LOOKS LIKE A PATH WE MAY BE GOING IN. THAT'S ALL THAT COULD BE A BRIEFING TOPIC. OK THANK YOU, COUNSEL. PLEASE VOTE. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. THANK YOU. WE ARE MOVING ON TO ITEM FIVE F, WHICH FORMERLY WAS ITEM. FOUR L.

[4.L. Consider a resolution authorizing approval of incentive grants by the Duncanville Community & Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) to Tim Maiden in an amount not to exceed $246,450.00 for a building located at 202 West Center Street, Duncanville, Texas, 75137.]

[02:40:08]

AS WELL AS WITH THE BUILDING. AND THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE WOULD BE 11,900. AND, UM, THIS IS AN INITIAL SITE. AN INITIAL SITE MAP. AND THEN THE IMPACT EVALUATION. THE DECCA APPRAISE VALUE IS A 802 AND $824,980 PROPOSED INVESTMENT OR THE INCENTIVE WOULD BE THE $246,450.

THE ESTIMATED PROPERTY TAX FROM THAT WOULD BE 5000. YOU'RE ON $29.65. AT 100 AND 25 SALES. PER SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WOULD GENERATE 1,000,487. 1005 $100, AS YOU KNOW, SINCE IT WAS FORMERLY A FUNERAL HOMES THAT WAS A FORMERLY, UH UH, DAYCARE HE WAS GENERATING $0 IN SALES TAX. SO THE CITY SALES TAX REVENUE FROM THAT ESTIMATE WOULD BE $29,750. THE SALES PROJECTIONS, AND THAT'S FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE 11,100 SQUARE FOOT OF RETAIL AND RESTAURANT.

IF THAT WAS IT'S BEING USED IN ITS ENTIRETY, HOWEVER. THE PROJECTIONS. UM 100 25 SALES. UH SALES GENERATED PER SQUARE FOOT. THAT'S MORE CLOSER. I'M SORRY. IS MORE CLOSER TO THE AVERAGE.

OF DUNCANVILLE, THOUGH IN DALLAS, THAT NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 200. UM, DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT, BUT THIS IS A MORE UH, IT'S REASONABLE. NUMBER AND THEN THE TAX REVENUE OVER 10 YEARS WOULD BE $297,500.

FOR THIS PARTICULAR EVENT BECAUSE OF THE INFLUX. I THINK THE CITY IS WHAT 3000 PEOPLE AND THEY'RE EXPECTING. ABOUT 100 AND SOMETHING 1000 PEOPLE TO BE. ENGAGING BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT IN THE PATH. DOES OUR POLICE FORCE OR YOU IN PARKS AND REC THINKING? WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANY KIND OF? I KNOW OUR HOTELS ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.

HE UNDERSTANDS WHERE, UM WHY? I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION BECAUSE OF SOME CONCERNS THAT WERE, UM FROM THE YOUNGER KIDS LAST YEAR. SO HAVE WE ADDRESSED THOSE FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT? I'M NOT FAMILIAR SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, BUT I DO KNOW THAT, UH, THEY DO PLAN ON HAVING A LARGE NUMBER OF A WE HAVE PURCHASED A LARGE NUMBER OF FILLED EGGS.

OK, I WILL SAY THAT, UH, IN MY TENURE AS A AS A PARKS AND RECREATION PROFESSIONAL.

THAT IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE.

[03:05:01]

ANY OTHER COMMENTS. THANK YOU. OUR FINAL ITEM IS TO RECEIVE THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT AS OF

[6.C. Receive the Monthly Financial Report as of January 31, 2024.]

IT'S NOT PAST DUE UNTIL AFTER FEBRUARY. I BELIEVE, AND THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN PENALTIES THAT ARE ASSESSED. I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHICH LINEBARGER SPECIFICALLY COMES ON. BUT I DO KNOW AFTER FEBRUARY IS WHEN PENALTIES START GETTING AS ASSESSED. SO AGAIN, THE BEST SOUTHWEST CITIES JUST SEEING HOW, UM WE ALL COMPARE, UM FOR AGAIN TWO MONTHS INTO SALES TAX COLLECTION. SO IN GENERAL FUND, UM AGAIN AS OF JANUARY, 3RD OF THE YEAR IS GONE. WE HAVE RECEIVED FIRST.

OUR FIRST QUARTER, UH, ELECTRIC FRANCHISE PAYMENT, SO THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE REVENUES. UM WE'RE TRENDING AHEAD IN PERMITS AND LICENSES, UM, YEAR TO DATE AND CHARGES FOR SERVICE. THAT'S PRIMARILY, UM, TAKING IN, YOU KNOW, BUILDING AND HEALTH AND, UM, RENTAL REGISTRATION TYPE.

UM, FEES AS THOSE, UH, ARE USUALLY BILLED AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AT THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. SO WE'RE SEEING AN INFLUX OF THOSE PAYMENTS COMING IN, UH, CHARGES. SERVICES PRIMARILY EMS. WE'RE SEEING HIGHER AMOUNTS COMING IN FOR EMS AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR AGAIN.

THE BENCHMARK IS THAT 33% BUT WE'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED 56% OF OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUE AT THIS POINT. AND WE'VE RECEIVED 798,000 IN INTEREST INCOME YEAR TO DATE. ON THE EXPENSIVE SIDE.

UM AGAIN. THE THAT BENCHMARK IS AT 33% WE'VE EXPENDED 25% MAINLY, THAT IS, UM YOU KNOW, SALARY BENEFITS AND PAYROLL. AND HERE'S THE TABLE. THAT'S IN THE, UM THE PACKET THERE, BUT JUST SO YOU CAN SEE BY CATEGORY. WHAT? UM HOW WE'RE TRENDING AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, UM, WERE VERY SIMILAR TO HOW WE DID THIS AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, SO 50% THIS YEAR 52% LAST YEAR, UM, AND THE EXPENSES ARE ABOUT IN LINE. 25 24. WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK. AND SHOWING YOU JUST AGAIN. THE FUND BALANCE SUMMARY. THAT NUMBER ACTUALLY IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADJUST AS SOON UM AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE 23 AUDIT, AND THEN OUR REVENUES ARE TRENDING HIGHER AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR, UM, OUR EXPENSES WILL START CATCHING UP. SO THAT ENDING FUND BALANCE WILL, OF COURSE, GO DOWN.

GETTING INTO THE UTILITY FUND SUMMARY. UM, WE ARE ONE MONTH BEHIND WHEN IT COMES TO REVENUE COLLECTIONS. SO UM, OUR REVENUES RECEIVED TO DATE ARE 26% OUR EXPENDITURES YEAR TO DATE, WE'VE EXPENDED FIVE POINT 4,000,003 0.4 MILLION OF THAT IT ACTUALLY GOES TO DALLAS WATER UTILITIES AND THE TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY FOR OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT. THE UH, ROLLING 12 MONTH AVERAGE THERE FOR WATER LOSSES. IT'S AT 18.4. AND AGAIN JUST THE TABLE VIEW HERE AS YOU

[03:10:07]

AND JUST, UH, THE KIND OF THE FUN BALANCE WITH UTILITY FUND AGAIN. WE WERE TARGETING 10 MILLION AS A STARTING FUND BALANCE. UM, FROM 23. BUT AGAIN, UH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE PROJECTING 12 PER 12 MILLION AND ENDING FUND BALANCE OF 12 MILLION. SO WE'RE DOING GOOD, UM, IN THE UTILITY FUND. SO OTHER FUNDS HIGHLIGHTS HOTEL MOTEL. UM THE EXPENSES ARE AT 50% YEAR TO DATE , AND THAT'S PRIMARILY DUE TO THE GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID OUT. WE'VE PAID OUT 334,000 SO FAR, UM AS OF THE END OF JANUARY FOR A HOTEL MOTEL GRANTS. FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE PAID OUT 100 AND 77,000 IN INCENTIVES PAID AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS FIRE STATION UM WE'VE SPENT 9.3 MILLION TO DATE WE STILL HAVE ABOUT 2 MILLION REMAINING IN THAT INCLUDES THE REMAINING OBLIGATIONS TO OUR ARCHITECT AND TO CORPS AND FOR, UH, GEOTECHNICAL TESTING, UM AT 1 MILLION IN IT ITEMS SUCH AS FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE, SECURITY CAMERAS, COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, ALL OF THAT, UM, AS WELL AS DOING AN IN HOUSE INSTALLATION OF FENCING. AND ARMSTRONG PARK AS YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD, UM, WE'VE SPENT 2.4 MILLION TO DATE AND WE SOLD ABOUT HAVE ABOUT 663,000 REMAINING, UM, OBLIGATED FOR THAT PROJECT. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST QUICK QUESTION I'M THINKING IS GOING THROUGH EACH ONE OF THE FUNDS. THEY HAVE A LINE FOR SALARY AND BENEFITS, KNOWING THE WEEKLY REPORT THAT WE SEE WE'RE PRETTY SHORT ON SOME PERSONNEL. WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE LOOKING TO HIRE. IS THERE? I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THERE'S SOME SENSE OF THINKING THAT BECAUSE WE MAY BE BELOW WHAT'S BUDGETED FOR PERSONNEL COSTS. SOME OF THAT COULD BE BECAUSE OF VACANCIES AND AS INDIVIDUALS ARE HIRED, THEN THAT'S GONNA BE PUSHING CLOSER TO THE BUDGET. SO EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE AN ARTIFICIAL COMFORT FACTOR, LOOKING AT PERSONNEL COSTS OR SALARIES AND BENEFITS BEING BELOW OUR BUDGET, FOR SOME OF THAT COULD BE DUE TO VACANCIES. NOT ACTUALLY EXPENDITURE.

SAVINGS UH, JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT IN TERMS OF AN AWARENESS ISSUE, OK? AND OTHER COMMENTS FOR FROM Y'ALL. YEAH MR FINCH. IF I COULD, JENNIFER, IF YOU COULD JUST GO BACK FOR ME ONE QUICK SLIDE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COUNCIL KNOWS ON THE ARMSTRONG PARK. UM SHE SHE HAD SHOWED THERE THAT THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT $3 MILLION. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY AS AS WE PREPARE FOR OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN MEETING, UH, IN APRIL, BUT THE TOTAL PROJECT THERE IS ABOUT 3 MILLION WITH ABOUT 2.2 ROUGHLY COMING FROM THE BOND. BUT GOOD NEWS IS PARKS WAS ABLE TO SECURE ABOUT A 700. AND $50,000 GRANT TO MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENCE, SO THAT ONE IS ESSENTIALLY NEUTRAL ON THAT THE OTHER THING IS THIS REPORT. I JUST WANNA SHARE. THIS IS, UH, ANOTHER CHANGE THAT WE MADE. THIS IS A GOOD NEWS THING, I THINK, UH, WORKING WITH, UM MR JACKSON, CFO AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR, UM, O. THE PLAN HERE IS THIS IS THE VERY FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH AT THE 1ST MAY OF THE MONTH. WE'LL DO THIS FINANCIAL PRESENTATION TO YOU FOR THE MONTH THAT HAD JUST CONCLUDED NOT THE PREVIOUS BECAUSE WE CAN'T GIVE YOU FEBRUARY QUITE THAT QUICK, BUT THIS WILL BE THE FIRST IN THE CYCLE YOU GET JANUARY THE FIRST MEETING IN APRIL, YOU GET FEBRUARY THE FIRST MEETING SO FORTH, AND SO ON. SO VERY GOOD.

WE APPRECIATE THAT, AND, UH, IT'S GOOD FORESIGHT AND BEING ABLE TO PULL THAT TOGETHER AND KEEPING US INFORMED AS CITIZENS AS WELL. THANK YOU. CITY MANAGER, OK? OTHER COMMENTS.
