WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THOSE. NO. UH, ITEM NUMBER THREE ON THE AGENDA BRIEFINGS AND PRESENTATIONS. FIRST ITEM IS DAY[3.a. DAY DRINK WINE & COCKTAIL LOUNGE SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION PRESENTATION — LOLECIA DAY]
DRINK WINE AND COCKTAIL LOUNGE SPOT YOUR SIP APPLICATION PRESENTATION. UH, ALICIA DAY.HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS LILY . I'M DAY DRINK WINE AND COCKTAIL LOUNGE. NO I DID NOT BRING SAMPLES. UH, IN WALMART. WHY NOT? UH, TODAY I AM. WANT TO YOU A QUICK PRESENTATION.
IT IS SUCH. SO, BASICALLY, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE DO WHO WE ARE. SO DAY DRINK ONE COCKTAIL LOUNGE. WE CAME TO DUNCANVILLE. UH, LAST, UH, 2022.
WE'VE BEEN THERE A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR. UH, WE HAVE FOOD. WE HAVE BEVERAGE, OF COURSE, AND , UH, WE HAVE ENTERTAINMENT. WE ALSO HAVE ART. OH, THAT'S JUST A LOOK ON THE INSIDE. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE ART ON THE WALLS FROM, UH HARD AS FERGUSON, WHO IS AN EDUCATOR HERE IN DUNCANVILLE, AND ALSO WON SOME AWARDS FROM THE CITY. UM SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF IS THAT WE ARE REALLY CULTURING THE ARTS AND WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY FOSTER THE ART.
SO WE HAVE LOTS OF PERFORMING ARTISTS COMING IN AND THIS NOW. OK? SO WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A WELCOMING SPACE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. WE WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THERE. UH,
[00:05:04]
WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME AND ENJOY THE VISUAL AND THE PERFORMING ARTIST. AND WE WANNA HAVE A LOT OF SOCIALIZATION ACROSS THE BOARD AND ONE BY DIVERSITY IN THERE WHEN WE WALK IN, WE WANNA SEE A REPRESENTATION OF DUNCANVILLE. SO UM, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF GREAT MUSICIANS COMING IN SOME THAT ARE VERY WORLD RENOWNED ERIC WILLIS, FOR EXAMPLE, CURRY FERTILE. THEY ARE REALLY WELL KNOWN JOHN P FISHER FROM UM, EAST DALLAS, AND HE TRAVELS THE WORLD. UM NANDI, WHO'S ALSO WELL KNOWN. ALL THESE ARTISTS HAVE BEEN AT DAY DRINK LOUNGE. I KNOW YOU AND WE'VE HAD SUCH A POSITIVE RESPONSE. UM THE THING THAT I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW IS THAT IF WE PROBABLY KNOW THIS, BUT EVERY SINGLE ARTIST REQUIRES A FEE. AND UH, AS A NEW BUSINESS WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THAT WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF ALL OF OUR ARTISTS AND ALL THE ALL THE THINGS THAT COME WITH IT, AND WE OFFER THESE, UM THESE PERFORMANCES FREE OF CHARGE.THERE'S NO CHARGE TO COME IN TODAY. DRINK NEVER HAS BEEN, AND I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
I REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO COME IN AND TO ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE TO. SO WE ACTUALLY DECIDED TO DO, UH, JAZZ NIGHT SERIES. WE'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH HALF OF IT ALREADY, AND WE'VE HAD A REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK ABOUT IT. REALLY PEOPLE JUST REALLY ENJOY COMING IN AND HEARING SOME GREAT ARTIST. OUR NEXT ARTIST IS ACTUALLY, UH, AUDRA SCOTT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW HER, BUT SHE IS A VERY FAMOUS SHE WORKS WITH THE ARTIST AT A BOOK T WASHINGTON. DALLAS AND SHE'S BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK, UM IN HER IN HER FIELD, AND SHE'S PRETTY WELL KNOWN. AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER ARTISTS AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN OPEN JAZZ BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING TO COME IN AND JUST THEY JUST WANNA PLAY, YOU KNOW, AND SO WE FOUND A NICHE THAT A LOT OF ARTISTS THOSE SINGLE DO, UH, DUOS OR TRIOS DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO PLAY. UM THE BIG BANDS THEY CAN GO TO LIKE, UH, OTHER PLACES IN DALLAS AND PLAY BUT THEY DON'T WANNA HIRE JUST SINGLES. SO WE WANT TO CREATE THAT SPACE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. WE WANNA BE KNOWN AS THAT JAZZY SPOT IN DUNCANVILLE. UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALSO FOUND OUT IS THAT ALL THE PEOPLE AT THE HOTEL IS RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY THERE. THEY WANNA COME, TOO, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION. THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WALKING. THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING. SO WE WANT TO ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND RENT THAT SPA RENT THAT BUS AND GO GET THEM. WE TALKED TO THE HOTEL ALREADY. AND THEY SAID, HEY, YES. JUST LET US KNOW WHEN LET US KNOW WHERE SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE MONEY FOR TO RENT THE SPACE TO BRING IN THE ADDITIONAL ARTIST AND TO TAKE CARE OF THE EXPENSE THAT THAT THAT COMES WITH THAT. UM AGAIN. ALL OF THESE PERFORMANCES ARE FREE. THEY'RE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A DRINK TO COME IN. UM YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COME IN AND SIT AND ENJOY THE ART AND ENJOY THE VIBE. AND, UM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
SO THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? YES YOU MENTIONED THE HOTEL WHICH HOTEL? THE ONES RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM US. THE HILTON GARDEN INN AND THE YEAH. HAMPTON IN THAT AREA, OK, THANK YOU. HOWEVER, UM UH, IF WE CAN. WE'LL PROBABLY GO TO ALL THE ONES IN DUNCANVILLE. I KNOW WE HAVE FIVE. BUT WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ONLY TALKED ABOUT THOSE TWO RIGHT NOW. WE WANNA KIND OF TEST IT OUT FIRST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA WORK OUT AND EVERYBODY IS GONNA BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME. I CAN TELL YOU THAT I MAY OR MAY NOT BEEN HAVING A GLASS OF WINE, BUT AT LEAST THERE IS, UH AT, UH, DAY DRINK LOUNGE AND A NUMBER OF, UH, FOLKS. GUESTS COME IN FROM THE HOTELS THEY REALLY DO. BECAUSE ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE LIKE AT A HOTEL, RIGHT? AND YOU'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIKE WHERE CAN I GO? WHERE CAN I JUST GO? RELAX AT THE END OF THE NIGHT? WHERE IS DAY DRINK? GOOD QUESTION. SO IF YOU ARE STANDING IN OUR DOOR AND LOOKING OUT THE FRONT DOOR, YOU'LL SEE THE KROGER'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. WE'RE ON CAMP WISDOM, UM, IN THE KNICKKNACK SHOPPING. YEAH AND WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO DUB THAT AS THE ENTERTAINMENT SQUARE BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE, UM SOME OTHER RESTAURANTS OVER THERE. AND WE ALSO PARTNER WITH, UH, LOTS OF BUSINESS WE'VE BROUGHT IN, UM, THE INTO IT COMPANY FROM, UM, NORTH DALLAS. THEY HAD A TOUR AND THEY CAME TO DAY DRINK LOUNGE AND WE HAD A NICE LITTLE EVENT THERE. THEY'VE COME TWICE NOW, SO WE'VE BEEN PARTNERING WITH A LOT OF BUSINESSES. TRYING TO BRING PEOPLE IN AND KNOW WE'RE HERE. YEAH. SO AND WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WE HAVE ABOUT. I'D SAY ABOUT FIVE REGULARS WHO, WHENEVER THEY'RE IN TOWN, THEY GO TO THE HOTEL OVER THERE THEY COME THE DAY DRINK BECAUSE THEY KNOW BUT IT'S THE REST OF THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW YET, AND WE'D LIKE TO OFFER THAT SHUTTLE SERVICE QUESTION. WHERE YOU CAN PUT THE STAGE. THERE IS NO STAGE SO DING IS A VERY SMALL, INTIMATE SPOT. IT'S JUST A LITTLE AREA, RIGHT. JUST LIKE WHEN YOU WALK IN. IT'S JUST A SMALL AREA. IT'S JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR WE'VE HAD UP TO FOUR MUSICIANS AT ONE TIME. IS WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE RIGHT. I THINK NOT AN OUTSIDE STATE OR NOT, YET WE'RE PLANNING ON SOMETHING ELSE. THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER CONVERSATION. BUT WE ARE PLANNING ON SOMETHING FOR THE WHOLE SQUARE. BUT NO. WHEN YOU
[00:10:04]
WALK INTO YOUR RIGHT, THERE'S A MICROPHONES CAMERA. THERE'S ALL THE HOOK UP. THERE'S THE SPEAKER. UH, MOST PEOPLE BRING THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT, THOUGH. EVERYBODY THAT WE HAVE COME OF THEIR PROFESSIONALS, AND THEY BRING THEM MOST OF THEM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD. THANK YOU. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS I HAVE THREE B, A PRESENTATION[3.b. THE NATIONAL BLACK TRANS ADVOCACY COALITION SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION PRESENTATION — ANGELA OWENS, CITY EVENTS PLANNER]
FROM THE NATIONAL BLACK TRANS ADVOCACY COALITION SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION PRESENTATION ANGELA OWENS CITY EVENT.UP THERE. UM SO FOR THOSE OF YOU GUYS WHO DON'T KNOW ME? UM MY NAME IS ANGELA OWENS. I AM THE CITY EVENT PLANNER. UM, I'M ALSO THE HIDDEN MEMBER OF ED AC. UM TECHNICALLY, I WORK WITH YOU GUYS. UM, BUT I'M HOUSED IN PARKS AND REC. SO UH, ONE OF MY JOBS IS TO HELP PEOPLE WHEN THEY DO HOT A HOT TAX APPLICATIONS DEVELOP THEM. WHAT ARE THEY ALLOWED TO USE THEM FOR? WHEN DOES SOMETHING QUALIFY? WHEN DOES SOMETHING NOT? UM, AND HOPEFULLY THAT THE MOTHER DOESN'T QUALIFY. AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LOT OF CHANGES RECENTLY AND ONE OF THE THINGS IS, UM, WE'RE MOVING THE HOT TAX. UM APPROVAL PROCESS. UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT MORE SO, UM, WE'RE BRINGING THE BLACK TRANS ADVOCACY GROUP. UH, IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF THIS GROUP, THIS IS A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION. IT'S A 501 C. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION. BUT THE PAPER I GAVE YOU IS KIND OF A SUMMARY OF ALL OF IT. BECAUSE THEY HATE ME. THEY HATE ME. I THINK IT'S NEVER WORKED. IT, DOESN'T IT EVERY TIME. THERE WE GO. SO 2024. IS THERE A CONFERENCE AND THEY'RE HOSTING IT IN DUNCANVILLE AT THE HILTON. KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS. UM I GOT OFFICIAL NUMBERS AT LIKE. 20 TODAY. THEY HAVE RESERVED 723 ROOMS AT THE HILTON. THEY HAVE RESERVED 100 AND 20 PLUS AT THE HAMPTONS. EVERY BALL ROOM. MEETING ROOM. HILTON HAS IS BOOKED BY THEM.
CARRY OVER THERE, SAYS SHE EXPECTS THE BALLROOMS AND THE MEETING ROOMS ALONE. IS $60,000 OF PROFIT. MM. FOR FOUR DAYS. YES. I JUST TELL YOU IT'S NOT. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. AH! SO COST OF ATTENDANCE FOR THIS EVENT IS BETWEEN 100 AND 50. 1500 DEPENDING ON THE PACKAGE YOU CHOOSE. I GAVE YOU A COUPLE OF THE PACKAGES BEHIND. THEY'VE ALMOST GOT 15 DIFFERENT PACKAGES . A PERSON CAN CHOOSE FROM EVERYTHING FROM BEING A PARENT TO BEING A CHILD. UM BUSINESSES.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. SOME OF THE ONES THAT REALLY INTERESTED ME WERE THE EMPOWERMENT CONFERENCE. WHERE THEY GET A GENERAL WORKSHOP, THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER LUNCHEON. UM, SUMMITS GALA. IT'S $250. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE HOTEL ROOM. BUT IF YOU'LL NOTICE DOWN THE COUPLE'S CONFERENCE AND THE TEAM CONFERENCE. THOSE ARE SOLD OUT. COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. THEY CANNOT MOVE ANYMORE IN THERE. THEY'VE TRIED. UM THE ONES THAT INCLUDED THE HOTEL, SHE SAID, SOLD OUT WITHIN A WEEK. SHE SAID. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE GONNA CHANGE FOR NEXT YEAR IS THEY'RE GONNA START INCLUDING THAT MORE. THEY'RE GONNA START OFFERING MORE OF THEM. SO WHAT THEY WANNA DO? AND THIS IS A COMPLAINT. I HEAR FROM ALL OF OUR HOTELS. THERE IS NO TRANSPORTATION. FOR CONFERENCES BETWEEN THE AIRPORTS. IN THE HOTELS. SO THEY MISS OUT ON A LOT OF
[00:15:04]
CONFERENCES, CONVENTIONS. BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A HASSLE WHEN YOU'RE YOU'VE GOT 700 PEOPLE COMING AND THEY EACH HAVE TO TAKE AN UBER. SO WHAT? THEY DID KNOW, UH AND I'VE LEARNED IN STUDYING THIS HOT TEXT. IS TRANSPORTATION IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS COVERED AS LONG AS IT BEGINS. OR ENDS. AT THE HOTEL. DOESN'T MATTER WHERE ELSE IT GOES AS LONG AS IT STARTS OR ENDS AT THE HOTEL. SO WHAT WE WANNA DO IS WE WANNA START A SHUTTLE SYSTEM FOR THE TWO DAYS THAT THEY'RE LOADING IN AND OUT. THE 708 100 PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING INTO TOWN. WE WANT FOR FIVE HOURS, THEY'RE GOING TO RUN A SHUTTLE BACK AND FORTH. FROM THE HOTEL. TO THE AIRPORT AND FROM THE AIRPORT BACK. THIS WILL ALLOW TRANSPORTATION OF LUGGAGE. IT'LL TRANS, UH, THE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY. UM I HELPED FIND THEIR BIDS. AND IT WAS THE MOST WE ASKED FOR 15,000. BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIKE LITTLE THINGS THAT POP UP THAT I CAN, IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR EVENT PLANNING, I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT MY BUDGET ALWAYS STARTS OUT WITH AND THEN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, SO I ALWAYS GIVE MYSELF ABOUT A 30% CUSHION. UH WHICH IS WHAT I DID THERE ABOUT AVERAGE IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 25,000 FOR BOTH DAYS. SO I AM OPEN TO QUESTIONS. SO, UH, BOARD MEMBERS. ANY QUESTION. SO WHAT IS I DIDN'T CATCH IT. OR MAYBE I JUST MAYBE I JUST MISSED IT.WHAT IS THE ASK FOR THE BOARD? UH, APPROVAL. FOR TO BE ABLE TO USE THE HOT TEXT FOR THIS. YES.
12,000 RIGHT. UH, 15 IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS ON THE APP. OK, I LIKE 12,000. I HAVE A LOT OF I HAVE FIVE APPS IN THE SO AND THEY ALL HAVE VERY SMALL BUT FIVE DIGITS. SO I GET THEM MIXED UP. THIS MAY BE HYPER TECHNICAL, BUT JUST CONFIRMING THAT, UM CAUSE WE'RE USING HILTON GARDEN AND THEN WE'RE USING HILTON. ARE WE USING THAT INTERCHANGEABLY? SO ALL ARE THE HILTON GUARDIAN IN DUNCANVILLE, AND YOU MENTIONED THE HAMPTON UH, ALL OF THIS. WE'LL GO WITH THEIR PARTNERING WITH THE HILTON. UM, BUT THE HILTON RAN OUT OF ROOTS. SO THEY HAD MADE AN AGREEMENT THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH HAMPTON IS THAT IF THEY EVER RUN OUT OF ROOMS DURING A CONFERENCE, WHETHER IT'S THIS CONFERENCE OR THE REFEREE CONFERENCE THAT COMES EVERY YEAR THE COACHES CONFERENCE. UM THEY WILL ROLL INTO THAT THEM BEFORE THEY GO TO ANY OTHER HOTEL. I'M JUST CONFIRMING BECAUSE, YES, THEY'RE ALL HAMPTON IS THE HILLS AND BRAND. SO THAT MAKES SENSE.
I'M JUST CONFIRMING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HILTON PROPERTIES IN D SOLELY SOLELY GOTCHA. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW MANY YEARS THIS HAS BEEN HERE? THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST YEAR BUT THEY HAVE HAD SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE. UM THEY ALREADY KNOW THEY'RE COMING BACK. SHE'S ALREADY SAID BETWEEN WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH THE CITY. BECAUSE WHEN KIM GOT, UH, CARRIE GOT THE CALL THAT THEY WANTED TO DO IT. SHE CALLED ME AND SAID, HEY, UM THEY'RE GONNA NEED HELP WITH TRANSPORTATION. CAN YOU HELP THEM OUT? AND I SAID, YEAH. SO I MET WITH THEM LIKE TWO OR THREE TIMES TO REALLY WORK ON THEIR APPLICATION AND EXPLAIN THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DO. THIS IS WHAT WHAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO. BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO ASK FOR LIKE MARKET AND IT WAS LIKE, WELL, IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO FOR MARKETING MONEY. THAT'S A PRE SO IN JUNE, YOU'LL SEE ME AGAIN. BECAUSE I TOLD HIM I WAS LIKE, NO, NO, NO, WE HAVE TO DO THAT EARLY. DID YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ENTIRE MARKETING PLAN? UH, BUT SAID THE TRANSPORTATION ABSOLUTELY MEETS THE GOALS. MEANS ALL THE LETTERS OF THE RULES. HOW MANY YEARS HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON? THIS IS THEIR 11TH CONFERENCE. 11 YEARS I'VE BEEN GOING AND THEN I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED. WHEN I LOOKED AT THIS. IT'S SOME OF THE BIDS AVERAGED OUT AT $2000 A DAY. BUT HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE 12,000? UM BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, IT'S 12,000 AN HOUR. I MEAN, IT'S A 2000 AND OUT. UM, AND THERE'S TWO OF THEM. THAT ARE RUNNING SO LIKE 1 MAY BE AT THE HOTEL. THE OTHER ONE WILL BE AT THE UM, HE'LL PUT AND THEY'LL BE EXCHANGING SO THAT THERE'S A CONSTANT FLOW. NOBODY STANDING AT THE AIRPORT FOR ON A GOOD DAY AN HOUR BETWEEN TRAFFIC UM ARE THEY GONNA SHUTTLE TO LIKE THE SOUTH REMOTE PARKING LOT WHERE THEY COULD BE PICKED UP LIKE THEY DO FOR THE TRINITY RAILWAY EXPRESS. NO, THEY'LL BE PARKED UP AT THE ACTUAL, UM AIRPORT. HOWEVER ARE THEY GOING TO KNOW TO GET THEM FROM THE AIRPORT? IT'S VERY CONFUSING UP THERE. OH, NO, NO, I GET THAT, UM, THAT'S THE COMMUNICATION PART. THAT, UM SO I TRIED TO. I HAVE TO KEEP SAYING NOT THEIR NAMES.
UH, THE COMPANY THE, UH, ADVOCACY WILL BE HAVING WITH THEIR CONSTITUENTS. THEY MEMBERS
[00:20:06]
THAT ARE HAVING DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PROMISE SOMETHING AND NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER. AND SO THEY HAVE THEIR FLIGHT SCHEDULES AND KIND OF THAT PART OF IT IS THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN IN YOUR FLIGHT SCHEDULE LIKE YOU HAVE TO TELL US WHEN YOU'RE COMING. HOW MANY WILL BE IN YOUR PARTY? WHO YOU'RE FLYING IN WITH. UM, WHEN YOU'RE FLYING OUT, ALL OF THAT WILL HAVE THEY HAVE TO GATHER THAT. TO BE ABLE TO GET ON THE SHUTTLE BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A LIST OF APPROVED PEOPLE TO GET ON THE SHUTTLE. UM FOR A COUPLE REASONS. SAFETY IS THE NUMBER ONE, THOUGH. WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE RANDOMLY GETTING ON OUR BUS AND ENDING UP IN DANVILLE WHEN THEY NEED TO BE IN DALLAS. I GUESS THAT'S MY QUESTION, CAUSE I'M UP THERE SO MUCH. I KNOW THAT THE REMOTE SOUTH PARKING LOT IS WHERE THEY SHUTTLE FOLKS TO GO TO THE TRINITY RAILWAY EXPRESS. AND THEN THE TRINITY PICKS THEM UP THERE, SO THEY ALLEVIATE DRIVING ALL THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE AIRPORT AND GETTING LOST AND TAKING THE WRONG RAMPS AND GET ALL THAT WHEN YOU'RE REFERENCING DRIVING. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE BUS DRIVERS? OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE BUS SYSTEM? THEY SHUTTLE BACK AND FORTH. THEY TAKE THEM OVER TO THE IRVING. UM WELL, IT'S THE FORT WORTH. TRINITY RAIL STATION, WHICH IS NEAR TRINITY BOULEVARD IN 360.SO THEY'RE NOT DRIVING THROUGH THE AIRPORT. THEY GOING SPECIFICALLY TO THAT STOP. THEY PICK UP WHOEVER'S THERE AND THEN THEY GO TO THE OTHER TRAIN STATION. THEY JUST DO A LOOP THERE. I BELIEVE THAT'S AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THEM AND THI. UM WE DON'T HAVE THAT AGREEMENT.
NO, I UNDERSTAND. BUT I'M SAYING, WHY CAN'T THESE FOLKS GO TO THAT SPOT BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WILL GET ON THE WRONG SHUTTLE. UM, AND END UP AT THE TRAIN STATION. UM I TRY IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN AT A CONFERENCE, WHERE THERE'S MULTIPLE CONFERENCES GOING ON AT ONCE. UM EVERYBODY STARTS LOOKING THE SAME AFTER A WHILE. AND WHILE WE HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF HAVING BIG BANNERS ACROSS THE BUS SO THAT THEY DON'T GET LOST UM WE'RE HOPING THAT IF WE HAVE THEM, WE'RE GONNA MEET THEM AT THE FRONT DOOR. JUST LIKE IF YOU'RE SIGNIFICANT OTHER WAS DROPPING YOU OFF AT THE HOTEL SH I MEAN AT THE AIRPORT, THEY WOULD DO IT AT THE FRONT DOOR. BAD INTEND IS THAT THEY WILL AS WELL. CAN MAKE A COMMENT. UNRELATED TO WHAT I'M HERE. UM, I OWN A TRANSPORTATION COMPANY. BUSES AND EVERYTHING. SO WE THIS IS ALL WE DO IS TRANSPORTATION LIKE THAT. UM, WE TELL EVERYBODY TO GO TO A CENTRAL TERMINAL TERMINAL C LOWER LEVEL, AND THEN THE BUS JUST PULLS UP THERE. AND THEN WE'LL GO THERE AND THEN DROP THEM OFF. COME BACK TO TERMINAL C LOWER LEVEL AND WE JUST PUT A SIGN ON THE BUS. EVERYBODY KNOWS IN THE BUS DRIVE. YOU CHECK THE LIST. AND UM, TO SAVE SOME MONEY. I'D LOVE TO PROVIDE A BIT IF I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RUN MY COMPANY OR NOT, BUT AFTERWARDS, WE CAN DISCUSS IT. TALK TO ME.
OK, UH, I JUST SEE MY PERSONAL OPINION. I JUST SEE TRYING TO GET NAVIGATE THE AIRPORT. IT'S VERY CONFUSING ALL THE OFF RAMPS AND TRYING TO GET THE BUSES THROUGH THERE. JUST SEE THAT THERE COULD BE A DISASTER OF THE NUMBER OF SHUTTLES BEING IN THERE AND PEOPLE WAITING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. FOR THEM TO MAKE SURE WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY MISS THAT TERMINAL E PICK UP AND THEN THAT PERSON HAS TO WAIT A WHOLE HOUR. THAT'S WHY WE'RE RUNNING, TOO. IS THAT HOPEFULLY, THE OUR THE LONGEST THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT IS AN HOUR AND THAT'S AT FIVE O'CLOCK TRAFFIC. UM BUT IN THE INTENT IS THAT THEY'LL BE DONE, UH, THINKING EVERYBODY UP BY FOUR O'CLOCK. CAUSE I SAID YOU DO NOT WANNA BE IN A BUS. ON NOW COMING HERE FROM DALLAS. JUST TRUST ME ON THAT ONE. I GET STUCK ON 8020 ALL THE TIME. SO THE SHEET HERE WHERE YOU GET THE BIDS. THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS PER HOUR AND NOT PER DAY. CORRECT. ANY QUESTIONS? JUST IF I COULD HAVE A REAL QUICK CONVERSATION WITH THE ANGEL. I MENTIONED THIS AT THE BEGINNING SO HOT TAX PREVIOUSLY WAS JUST AN INTERNAL APPROVAL. MORE OR LESS. IT FLEXED. YEAH, SO ONE OF THE REASONS THIS IS BEFORE YOU IS ANGELA AND I HAD A CONVERSATION. AND I'M STILL DIGGING INTO THIS.
BUT THE ONLY VAGUE REFERENCE I CAN FIND TO WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE HIGH TAX MONEY AS THERE WAS A RESOLUTION PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL IN 1974. UM AND I CAN'T FIND ANY CLEAR POLICY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY MANAGER IS AUTHORIZED THEIR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, OTHER THAN THIS RESOLUTION FROM 1974, SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO GET CLEANED UP. BUT IN THE MEANTIME. SINCE IT'S MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DO FIGURED WE'D BRING IT TO YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. WILL

FIVE OF 26 THE DAY THE DAY YEAH, I SEE THAT. IT WAS A SPECIAL MEETING THAT WE HAD 26 OK, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING THAT THIS IS THAT WE WENT INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE DISCUSSED THE PROPERTY AND THEN DEGREE. MOVE IT TO COUNCIL. RIGHT? BUT THE WAY IT'S WORKED IS THAT REVIEW OF EXHIBIT A IS PART OF THE ONGOING GOING TO COUNCIL FOR OH, I SEE. SO HOW YOU'RE SAYING OUR APPROVAL IS NOT REFLECTED IN CORRECT THAT IT'S NOT THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPERTY PURCHASE GOING TO THE COUNCIL, IF APPEARS THAT IT'S THE APPROVAL OF EXHIBIT A WHICH WAS THE QUESTION I BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE SURVEY BEING ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURVEY EXPERTS. MAKE SURE THAT WAS COVERED IN THERE. SO I BELIEVE TECHNICALLY, YOU'RE WAS ON AUTHORIZATION OF THE EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT. WHICH EFFECTUATES THE SALE. ESSENTIALLY, YES, THAT'S SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN CORRECT. SO CAN YOU BRING THIS BACK FOR OUR NEXT MEETING FOR US TO ADAPT? PLEASE. I TAKE A MOTION TO TABLE OUT OF FIVE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. MAKE THAT MOTION. OK? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SO I WAS SAYING THAT THEY BOTH. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. TAKE A MOMENT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.

WHEN YOU APPROVE A GRANT REQUEST. WE ARE NOW TAKING THAT WE'VE JUST STARTED THIS SO I DON'T EVEN HAVE GOOD NUMBERS YET TO SHARE WITH YOU, BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY TAKING THAT GRANT. APPLICATION ONCE THAT'S APPROVED , AND WE'RE PUTTING THAT AGAINST YOUR FUNDS AS WHAT'S CALLED A REQUISITION. WHICH THEN GENERATES A PURCHASE ORDER SO THAT BASICALLY WE'RE ENCUMBERING THOSE FUNDS FOR THAT GRANT APPLICATION THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE PREVIOUSLY. AND SO I DON'T HAVE A CLEAR NUMBER TO GIVE YOU OF EXACTLY WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO SPEND THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN COMMITTED. SO WE'RE JUST BEGINNING THAT PROCESS. UM AND THEN WE'LL HAVE WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE YOU KNOW A LOT CLEANER MONSTER MONTH NUMBER TO BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU. UM THE FIELD HOUSES THAT THE VERY NEXT PAGE THERE, UH, YOUR SHOWING A NEGATIVE FUND BALANCE THERE BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING DEBT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIELD HOUSE.I BELIEVE THE LEAVE THE, UH THE AMORTIZATION. THE WAY THAT WORKS OUT IS THAT SHOULD BE PAID OFF IN 2025, HOWEVER, THAT I WILL SHARE WITH YOU DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE OPERATIONS OF THE FIELD HOUSE. UH, WHICH THE NUMBER THERE ACTUALLY IS A POSITIVE NUMBER OVERALL. UM WITH THAT SAID WITHOUT GOING INTO AND THEN WE HAVE THE MAIN STATION REPORTS AND THEN EVERYTHING THERE FOR YOU. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE AND THEN I'LL LET MB DO THEIR OWN UPDATE. ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE FINANCIAL WITH FIRST OF ALL THE QUESTIONS SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT OUR LAST MEETING.

JUST THEN THE LAST THING JUST WITH RESPECT TO, UH WELL, IT JUST SOUND RELATED TO MANY STATION REGARDS THE SAME. IF WE HAVE ANY UPDATES ON THE WE ACTIVITY. YEAH YOU KNOW, UM, I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN , UH, UP TO WHEATLAND PLAZA. I THINK IT WAS JUST LAST THURSDAY. I BELIEVE, AND I WENT THROUGH AND TO THE ENTIRE PLAZA WITH THE DEVELOPER. UM I KNOW THAT, UH, THERE'S BEEN A REQUEST WHEN THE CITY COUNCIL MEETS JOINTLY WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR A FULL UPDATE. ON WHEATLAND PLAZA. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD SOME INTERNAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IS WAITING UNTIL THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE THE MB REPORTS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE D CDC BOARD AND DO THAT MORE DETAIL. BUT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU, THOUGH, IS OTHER THAN ONE. I BELIEVE LARGER SPACE WHERE THERE'S TRYING TO ATTRACT, UM LIKE A RESTAURANT OR SLASH SOME SORT OF CONVENIENCE GROCERY . OTHER THAN THAT, ALMOST ALL THE SPOTS NOW ARE FULL. AND THE COLLAPSE. SPACE IS GETTING VERY, VERY CLOSE. I JUST WENT THROUGH THAT AGAIN. THEY'RE THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT TO BRING IN A BUNCH OF SMALLER BUSINESSES INSIDE OF THAT COLLAPSE SPACE, SO THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING ON THE INSIDE. AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I JUST HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH WITH THE DEVELOPER AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DOING SO MANY GREAT THINGS ON THE INSIDE, BUT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT WHEN THEY DRIVE BY, RIGHT, AND SO I'M LIKE YOU REALLY NEED TO START PAYING ATTENTION TO SOME OF THE OUTSIDE STUFF. SO PEOPLE SEE SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES AND EVERYTHING SO AND THEN DO YOU WANNA HAVE MRV DO THEIR THAT'S THERE SOUNDS.
GREAT. THANK YOU GUYS. UH, WE KNOW YOU HAVE A ACT AGENDA, SO WE WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. BUT WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT. UH, I'M MICHAEL NDOLO. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR MRB GROUP. AND MATT H. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN. OK? UM WE WERE ASKED TO DO AN ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT.

[00:35:03]
OF PLANS OUT THERE. THERE'S THIS BIG THING STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH IS SORT OF OUTWARD FACING INTO THE WORLD. WHAT DO WE WANT TO BE? AND WHO DO WE WANT TO ATTRACT AND WHAT'S THE MARKETING STRATEGY AND ALL THAT? THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS AN ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN, RIGHT? WHICH MEANS HOW ARE YOU STAFFED? HOW SHOULD YOU BE STAFFED? WHAT YOUR BUDGET LOOK LIKE. WHAT SHOULD THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION BEING RIGHT? THE CITY THE E, DC AND ANY OF YOUR PARTNERS IN THAT SPACE, RIGHT? SO IT'S MORE ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF HOW THINGS OPERATE MORE THAN OUR STRATEGY, RIGHT? SO UH, THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE TALKING TO YOUR STAKEHOLDERS. MANY OF YOU ARE ON THIS TABLE HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED MANY OTHER ONES. WE HAVE TWO DAYS. MATT AND I ARE SITTING IN DIFFERENT CONFERENCE ROOMS.

UM WE'RE OBVIOUSLY MEETING WITH YOU NOW, BUT OUR MAIN DELIVERABLE IS THIS KIND OF MEMO, WHICH OUTLINES SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. UM WHAT WE WANTED TO DO. TONIGHT WAS JUST GIVE YOU A VERY FIRST.QUICK LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM YOUR STAKEHOLDERS RIGHT OVERALL. JUST SOME VERY BASIC THINGS. NOW WE ALSO HAVE A VERY SMALL DATA REPORT. I KINDA I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU THE DATA REPORT RIGHT NOW. JUST BECAUSE IT'S UH, YOU HAVE ENOUGH ON YOUR AGENDA. YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH IT AT AT AT YOUR OWN LEISURE. BUT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I CAN TALK ABOUT IT. UM BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE HEARING ABOUT, SO THAT IF YOU HAVE SOME IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK AND SAY, HEY, THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR WE THINK SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY. LET US KNOW OK. UM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOUND OUT FROM A LOT OF FOLKS IS THAT THE CITY AND THE DC OWN A FAIR AMOUNT OF LAND. IN THE CITY. WHICH IS A GREAT ASSET. RIGHT NOW. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NOT A VERY SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR THE CITY AND THE DC TO DIVEST OF THAT LAND, RIGHT? WHAT? WHAT'S THE PROCESS BY WHICH YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT? HOW OFTEN YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT? WHAT ARE THE TERMS THAT YOU RIGHT? SO THAT'S ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT AS KIND OF LIKE AN ACTIVITY OF THE EDC. NUMBER TWO EDC. YOU HAVE MONEY AND YOU HAVE PROGRAMS AND THEIR FUNCTIONING. AS ANTICIPATED. JUST ONE THING WE DID HEAR FROM STAKEHOLDERS IS THEY'RE NOT. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY VERY, VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE'S SOME FOLKS THAT BASICALLY AS AN ORGANIZATION. WE COULD DO BETTER AT MARKETING THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE. RAISE AWARENESS AROUND THAT. NUMBER THREE. YOU NEED A STRATEGY. RIGHT. WE'VE WE'VE HEARD THAT FROM A LOT OF FOLKS.
UM, FORTUNATELY, THE CITY IS DOING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. UH, IT'S GONNA START. AN UPDATE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHORTLY. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT KIND OF WHAT IS THAT BIG THING STRATEGY, RIGHT? WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE? WHO DO YOU WANNA GO AFTER? HOW ARE YOU GONNA GO AFTER THEM? AND HOW ARE YOU GONNA DELIVER ON THAT RIGHT? UM, SO THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE HAD. WE THINK THE COMP PLAN IS GONNA GET YOU PART OF THE WAY THERE. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANNA UH, SAY FROM JUST FROM AGAIN FROM WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS GONNA BE GREAT. IF ONE OR MORE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD. PARTICIPATED IN A FORMAL WAY IN THE COMP PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS FULLY REPRESENTED IN THAT COMPLEX PROCESS, RIGHT? SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE'RE HEARING FROM, FOLKS. AND I DON'T. I DON'T MEAN TO POKE ANYBODY IN THE EYE. UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID HERE IS THAT WE HAVE A BIT OF A REPUTATIONAL PROBLEM. IN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. AS BEING NOT BUSINESS FRIENDLY. AND AGAIN. THIS IS NOT TO POINT FINGERS. WE'RE JUST REPORTING WHAT WE HEAR. UH, SOME THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP IS THE FIRE MARSHAL AND, YOU KNOW, DELAYING PROJECTS OR GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING WHERE IT'S CAUSED AN ISSUE, RIGHT? CODE ENFORCEMENT. YOU KNOW? MAYBE NOT AS BUSINESS FRIENDLY AS WE WANNA BE TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND THEN OCCASIONALLY HEARING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL. INSTEAD OF BEING REALLY PROACTIVE ABOUT SAYING WHAT THEY WANT. THAT THEY'LL WAIT FOR FOLKS TO COME.
AND THEN SOMETIMES THE ANSWER IS WE DON'T WANT THAT RIGHT. BUT THE MORE EFFECTIVE STRATEGY IF YOU WANT TO BRING DOLLARS IN YOUR COMMUNITY TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. THIS IS WHAT WE DON'T WANT. COME TO US IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN THIS COLUMN, RIGHT? SO KIND OF UNDERSTANDING THAT AND THEN WE, UH WE HEARD THE KIND OF THE NEED FOR SOME SHORT TERM WINS TO HELP KIND OF TURN THAT REPUTATION. ISSUE AROUND RIGHT SHORT TERM WIN ONE OF THE THINGS IS HE MAYBE ONE OF THESE PARCELS OF LAND THAT THE CITY OWNS OR THE E DC OWNS. MAYBE YOU COULD PUT THAT OUT.
AND GET A DEVELOPER INTEREST. RIGHT? DO WE DEVELOPER RFP? UH AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET TE. TELL
[00:40:08]
THEM WHAT? WHAT THE PROJECT IS THAT YOU WANT TELL THEM LOCATION WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND SELECT SOMEBODY AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE WE'RE WORKING WITH YOU, RIGHT? WE'RE PROACTIVELY GOING OUT THERE. I'M ANOTHER ONE IS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIFFERENT AREAS IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY AS OPPORTUNITY AREAS OR REDEVELOPMENT AREAS, OR WHATEVER THE NAME IS GONNA BE IN THE NEW COM PLAN. MAYBE PICK ONE. OR TWO AND FOCUS ATTENTION ON THOSE TWO THINGS JUST SO WE CAN GET A COUPLE OF QUICK WINS IN SUCCESSION, RIGHT TO KIND OF KEEP THAT MOMENTUM GOING. AND THEN FINALLY, YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW , UH, HOPEFULLY AT THIS PLAN, WE HOPE TO DEVELOP THIS PLAN IN A 30 DAYS DELIVER THE MEM THE SORT OF MEMO OF RECOMMENDATIONS AT A JOINT MEETING. WE RECOMMEND CONTINUING JOINT MEETINGS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. WE'VE WE HAVE HEARD, AND THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL.THIS IS VERY TYPICAL, UH, THAT THAT COMMUNICATION COULD ALWAYS BE IMPROVED. THE TWO BODIES RIGHT SO THAT CITY COUNCIL KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE DOING. AND YOU KNOW WHAT CITY COUNCIL IS DOING.
THOSE ARE ARE JUST INITIAL FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE REPORTING BACK TO YOU. AND CERTAINLY WE INVITE YOUR YOU KNOW YOUR COMMENT OR FEEDBACK ON WHAT WE HEARD, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU RESONATE WITH OR NOT. OK, THE BOARD ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS? ABOUT THE REPORT. REAL TIME. I.
I KNOW I GAVE YOU A LOT HERE. SO THAT IS A LOT TO DIGEST YOU. YOU'LL HAVE IT ALL IN WRITING.
YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO CONTEMPLATE, BUT JUST, YOU KNOW. SO I, I I'LL I'LL START SO DO YOU FIND ANY OF THIS TO BE SURPRISE AND WERE GIVEN. SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATIONAL CHALLENGES WITH FT IN CRITICAL POSITION. I YOU ADD THAT TO SOME KIND OF THE OPERATIONAL CAUSE.
THAT'S KINDA WHAT I HEAR. INITIALLY, NOT NECESSARILY THAT. THEY DISCONNECT. FOUR MONTH WE KNOW THAT THIS BOARD EXISTS UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF CITY OPERATIONS AND SO, YOU KNOW. YOU MENTIONED A FEW DEPARTMENTS WHEN IT PLANNING. WHETHER IS CO COMPLIANCE WHETHER IT'S OUR MARSH INSPECTION. THEY TEND TO BE THE FRONT FACE. OF THE PUBLIC OR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, WHEREAS YOU KNOW WE'RE JUST HERE AROUND THE TABLE, MAKING POLICY FUNDING DECISIONS. YEAH, UM BUT YOU KNOW? HAVING WORK WITH CITIES BEFORE, LIKE, I DON'T FIND ANY OF THAT TO BE SURPRISING. MHM MHM. I THINK YOUR POINT ABOUT HEAD COUNT. TURNOVER IS A GOOD ONE. WHAT WE WHAT WE HEARD FROM AND I AND A LOT OF THE FOLKS THAT WE SPOKE WITH, ARE ARE HERE TONIGHT. WHAT WE HEARD FROM AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF PEOPLE. IT'S JUST THIS IDEA OF PREDICTABILITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND WHAT WE HELP COMMUNITIES. A LOT IS. DON'T COMPROMISE YOUR VISION.
DON'T COMPROMISE YOUR RULES OR THERE'S NO NEED TO DO FAVORS OR BEND JUST TO GET IT DEVELOPED.
THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE DEVELOPERS. YOU DON'T WANT THE FOLKS WHO ARE ASKING YOU TO BEND THE RULES, BUT YOU DO NEED SOME PREDICTABILITY. AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE TURNOVER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT PREDICTABILITY GOES AWAY. SOMEBODY TODAY SAID SYSTEMATIZE, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT CAME OUT OF THIS CONVERSATION. IF IT'S A SYSTEM THEN YOU PLUCK. ONE PERSON OUT OR ONE PERSON MOVES ON TO THE TO THEIR NEXT, UH, JOB. AND THE NEXT PERSON STEPS IN AND INHERITS A SYSTEM. UM, SO THERE IS PREDICTABILITY AND RELIABILITY. UM AND THAT'S JUST MISSING IN IN THIS INSTANCE. AND THAT THAT WILL DAMAGE YOUR REPUTATION. AND RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE HEARING FROM STAKEHOLDERS ARE IN THE DOMAIN REALLY OF THE CITY, NOT NECESSARILY THE P DC BOARD. THAT'S RIGHT. UM I. I KNOW OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS, YOU KNOW IT'S HAD SOME YEARS BEHIND IT. UM ME. BUT EVEN CONSIDERING YOU KNOW WHAT THAT BEING KIND OF A VISION AND DOCUMENT AT LEAST IN YOUR INITIAL RESEARCH. IF YOU FOUND THAT TO BE AT LEAST CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. YOU KNOW A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PARCELS. ZONE FOR CERTAIN IN USE. AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN MATCH WITH WHAT YOU'RE VISIONING, DOCUMENTS SAY. UM UH, YEAH. THE FRUSTRATION THEN THAT MET WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT INVESTMENT, RIGHT? JOBS, S VALUE SALES, ET CETERA. ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS. UH, ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT IT'S AN OLD DOCUMENT THAT MEANS TO BE UPDATED. THE THING THAT I'M ALWAYS ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, CONCERNED ABOUT IT A LOT OF THE SMALLER SUBURBAN TIER CITIES WE TEND TO TRY TO DO DEVELOPMENT THE SAME WAY AS SOME OF OUR LARGER PEERS LIKE
[00:45:03]
OBVIOUSLY DALLAS, BUT EVEN ARLINGTON AND GRAND PRAIRIE WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, FOUR TIME THE POPULATION AND SQUARE MILES. YOU EXPERIENCE WITH CITIES THAT ARE BOTH KINDA HAVE AT THE PLACE WHERE WE'RE BUILT OUT. I ALWAYS THINK OF DUNCANVILLE AS MORE IN THE IN THE REDEVELOPMENT PATTERN , AS OPPOSED TO TRADITIONAL ECONOMIC GREENFIELD FROM BUT THEN YOU TALK TO THE PUBLIC. I MEAN, THEY STILL ASSOCIATE THAT WITH BRAND NEW, SHINY BUILDINGS AND YOU KNOW YOUR NATIONAL TENANTS. ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS ON THOSE THINGS. I THINK THAT'S THING WHERE BOTH THE CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY IS THIS THIS COMMUNITY. YEAH, WELL, WELL, I SPENT A LOT OF TIME I WAS IN THIS ROOM DOING MOST OF MY INTERVIEWS TODAY. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT THIS MAP WITH PEOPLE RIGHT AND YOU CAN SEE WE ARE AND THAT'S A COMMON THEME THAT CAME OUT. WE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON REDEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS WHERE YOU CAN DO SOME NEW BUILD SOME INTERESTING NEW BUILD. SOME OF THEM ARE OWNED BY THE CITY OR THE C, WHICH IS GREAT, RIGHT? BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THE 200 ACRE, YOU KNOW? LOGISTICS CENTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? THAT'S THAT'S NOT THE AREA YOU'RE PLANNING IN. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHAT I'M HEARING FROM FOLKS IS THOSE REDEVELOPMENTS. AND ADD SIGNIFICANTLY. TO YOUR ASSESSED VALUE RIGHT AND THEREFORE THE TAX YIELD. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE NEXT BIG FACTORY. IF YOU TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE, AND YOU INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR EXISTING ASSETS, THAT'S ENOUGH, RIGHT? AND WITH RESPECT TO THE QUESTION ABOUT FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE AND THE RELEVANCY OF THE OF THE EXISTING COTTON PLAN. YOU KNOW OUT WE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE WE STOLE THIS QUOTE FROM BUT IT'S WE ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN IS SOMETHING FROM WHICH TO MEASURE DEVIATION, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S A PLAN. IT'S A FORECAST OF SOMETHING THAT WE HOPE FOR. BUT WHAT YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT IN TERMS OF CONFIDENCE IN THE PLANNING PROCESS AND CONFIDENCE IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS, SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR CURRENT LAND USE AS THIS LINE. AND YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP SAYS WE WANT TO BE OVER HERE. WE WANT TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT DRIVE US TOWARD THIS. AND THEN CITY COUNCIL GETS A ZONING REQUEST OVER HERE AND SAYS, YEAH, YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD. IT HAPPENS RIGHT 11 OR TWO TIMES OR OVER THE COURSE OF A IT'S BEEN SEVEN YEARS SINCE THE COMP PLAN WAS A WAS LAST LOOKED AT OVER THE COURSE OF SEVEN YEARS. MAYBE IT HAPPENS. ONCE A YEAR IS TOO MUCH IF IT'S RECURRING, AND IF IT'S EVERY TIME AND IF IT'S EVERY TIME FOR A CERTAIN GROUP OF DEVELOPERS OR TYPE OF DEVELOPERS. THEN THE CONFIDENCE IN THE PLANNING DOCUMENT GOES AWAY AND THE FOLKS WHO BOUGHT INTO IT AT THE BEGINNING KIND OF WALK AWAY FROM THE PROCESS. SO JUST BEING CAREFUL ABOUT THAT, YEAH. I WILL SAY, TOO, THAT FROM A COMP PLAN. POINT OF VIEW. I THINK THE BIGGEST VALUE THAT YOU GUYS CAN HAVE IS NOT THAT YOU'RE NOT UPDATING YOUR COMP PLAN AND CHANGING IT AS NEEDED. BUT AT LEAST YOUR DECISIONS ARE CONSISTENT. THEY RIGHT AGAIN. WHAT MATT WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT CONSISTENCY IF I'M A DEVELOPER, AND I WANNA COME TO DUNCANVILLE AND INVEST MONEY I WANNA KNOW IF CAN I TRUST WHAT'S IN THE LAND USE MAP? I TRUST WHAT'S IN THE CAR PLAN? OR AM I GONNA HIT CITY COUNCIL AND NOW I GET A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANSWER, RIGHT? IT IS IT. I THINK IT'S VERY WORTHWHILE THAT YOU'RE UPDATING YOUR ACCOUNT PLAN. I THINK THAT'S GREAT. I, YOU KNOW. THE IDEAL COMP PLAN DOCUMENT IS A DOCUMENT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY THE CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT TOO. WHEN YOU GET REQUESTS FOR YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT FUNDS IS THIS CONSISTENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY VISION? I. WE HAVE A DOG. WELL, WILL THERE BE RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO ALIGN THE DEPARTMENT? YEAH, THAT THAT WOULD BE A PIECE OF THIS. THAT'S OUR OUR LAST DELIVERABLE IS REALLY SO. SO WHAT RIGHT IS THAT? WE FOUND OUT ALL THIS INFORMATION. WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT? THERE'LL BE SOME. THERE'LL BE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS IN THAT YOU'RE ALREADY TAKING SOME STEPS, THOUGH, I'LL I'LL ACKNOWLEDGE. I MEAN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT THAT WE KNOW TO BE CONCERNING WAS THE ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION WHERE YOU HAD A SINGLE DIRECTOR FOR PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. UH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S A TENDENCY AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD. TO UM, WANNA SUPPORT YOUR PEOPLE WHEN THEY MAKE DECISIONS? WELL THERE'S A NATURAL 10. THERE'S A NATURAL TENSION OR THERE SHOULD BE A NATURAL TENSION BETWEEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CODE ENFORCEMENT. RIGHT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS TRYING TO PUSH THE SHOULD BE TRYING TO PUSH THE BORDER AND CODE ENFORCEMENT IS TRYING TO HOLD THE BORDER. RIGHT. THEY'RE BOTH RIGHT. THEY'RE BOTH TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. UM AND SO A IN THAT ROLE AS A DIRECTOR, YOU END UP REFEREEING YOUR OWN PEOPLE. AND IF IT GETS AWKWARD, UH AND B, YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN PLANNING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT, AND THAT DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH TIME FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO JUST THAT REALIGNMENT ALONE IS[00:50:03]
GONNA OPEN UP A LOT. UH A LOT OF HEADWAY FOR YOU, UM THINGS LIKE AND, UM, THE CITY MANAGER REFERENCE AT THE BEGINNING INVOLVING YOU ALL YOU YOU REFERENCED YOURSELF AS A POLICY BOARD, AND I LOVE THAT THAT THAT'S THAT'S YOUR ROLE. INVOLVING YOU IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INVOLVING YOU IN THE SELECTION OF THE OF THE OF THE UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPER.THOSE ARE CRITICAL, UH, POINTS. THAT UH, THAT NOW WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO RECOMMEND BECAUSE THE CITY MANAGER IS TWO STEPS AHEAD OF US. UM, BUT, UH, BUT WE'LL, BUT WE WILL HAVE SOME ORGANIZATIONAL, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS THAT FALL IN LINE WITH THAT KIND OF STUFF.
I'LL. I'LL JUST GIVE ONE QUICK EXAMPLE. YOU KNOW? THERE SHOULD NEVER BE AN EXAM. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A CASE. WHERE A FIRE MARSHAL HAS TO DEAL WITH THE FIRE CODE PROBLEM. AFTER PROJECT HAS COMMENCED CONSTRUCTION, RIGHT? ALL OF THOSE ISSUES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT, RIGHT? AND THERE'S DIFFERENT SYSTEM GOING ON RIGHT NOW, AND IT ALLOWS FOR THESE THINGS. BUT YOU GET REALLY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE BACK END. IF YOU DO IT THE WAY YOU'RE CURRENTLY DOING IT. RIGHT, SO WE'LL MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND THAT.
GONNA BE GOOD. ULTIMATELY IT'S THE CITY COUNCIL'S GOT TO MAKE THAT CALL, RIGHT. YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT CALL, BUT YOU CAN SUPPORT IT. YOU'LL ALSO SEE JUST A SPOILER ALERT. I MEAN, YOU'LL SEE SOME NOTES ABOUT PRIORITIZATION, RIGHT? UM DOUG, DOUG AND MICHAEL AND I COME FROM A PLACE WHERE WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY RESOURCES AS YOU HAVE HERE, BUT IT'S AMAZING HOW QUICKLY THOSE RESOURCES GO RIGHT. AND, UH, IF YOU IF THE TENDENCY IS LET'S LET'S YOU KNOW, REVIEW THINGS EVERY MONTH AND JU JUST KIND OF, UH, ASSESS. WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US? THEN VERY QUICKLY THOSE THINGS CAN LOSE THEIR IMPACT. AND SO WE'RE GONNA TALK TO YOU, OR WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT ABOUT HOW YOU ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING IS IN LINE WITH THAT STRATEGY IS IN LINE WITH THAT PLAN, AND SO THAT YOU HAVE A FAIR REASON TO SAY, HEY, THANKS FOR THE APPLICATION. IT'S REALLY WELL WRITTEN, BUT WE REALLY HAVE TO FOCUS ON THESE FOUR KEY AREAS. UM AND PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND AND EVEN MORE, THEY'LL READ THE KEY AREAS AND KNOW THIS REALLY DOESN'T ALIGN. THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT SPOT FOR ME. SO YOU KNOW, I PUT MY UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION, SAYING NO. SO, ANYWAY. SPOILER ALERT. LET'S LOOK FOR THAT. ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS AND QUESTIONS. I'M JUST GONNA MAKE A QUICK COMMENT. UH, UM ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SEE IS LIKE MAYBE OUR KEEP TO FROM REAL BEAUTIFUL BOARD OR TIFF BOARDS. SOME OF OUR OTHER BOARDS COME TO THIS MEETING, MAYBE ONCE A YEAR OR SOMETHING, WHATEVER IS APPROPRIATE. AND COMMUNICATE WHAT THEY'RE DOING ON THESE BOARDS, SO WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA SO THAT WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT THEY WANT TO DO A PROJECT IN THE TIFF ZONE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE TIP ZONE WITH THEY'RE WORKING ON TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE PROMOTING A PROJECT IN THAT TIP ZONE. WE'RE NOT COUNTERACTING WITH THE TIP BOARDS DOING BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. BUT MAYBE THAT'S BAD ON ME, AND I SHOULD KNOW, BUT I DON'T BUT I. I THINK THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PROMOTE THE ARTS BOARD CAME HERE AND THEY PROMOTED SOME STUFF THAT THEY WANT TO DO. AND WE GOT SOME EXPOSURE TO THEM, WHICH IS NEW TO US. SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU GUYS ALSO HAVE A UNIQUE POSITION WHERE YOU MAY BE ANOTHER BOARD. MAYBE MAYBE YOU'RE NOT CITY COUNCIL. BUT YOU HAVE SO MUCH FINANCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU. THAT PUTS YOU IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AS A LEADING BOARD IS WHAT I WOULD CALL YOU AND YOU GUYS CAN MAKE SOME DECISIONS. SOME POLICY ON WHAT THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT YOU WANNA DO. AND THEN THOSE OTHER BOARDS LIKE KEEP DANVILLE BEAUTIFUL. THEY CAN COME TO YOU WHETHER OR NOT THAT THEY'RE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THAT, RIGHT? AND IF NOT, THEN MAYBE THEY NEED TO REVISIT THAT OR EVEN GO DIRECTLY TO COUNCIL AND ASK FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, RIGHT? SO I WOULDN'T BE HESITANT ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF VACANCIES ON SOME OF THE BOARDS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER. GOOD AND I WERE JUST HAVING THAT CONVERSATION RIGHT BEFORE. UH, THIS MEETING AND, UM, CITY SECRET JUST CONFIRMED FOR ME. SHE'S GONNA DO A BRIEFING UPDATE FOR THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. JUST FY I ON THAT, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I. I CERTAINLY HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN MEETING UH, WITH SOME OF THOSE COMMITTEES AND EVERYTHING IN A JOINT MEETING. I KNOW THEY WANNA MEET JOINTLY WITH YOU, UM BUT I ALSO THINK THAT YOU HAVE A UNIQUE ROLE IN THIS WHERE YOU GUYS AS A BOARD CAN REALLY BE A LEADER. IN WHAT DIRECTION THIS GOES BECAUSE YOUR FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND THE OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. THANKS NOW I CAN I I'M D TO OFF FROM WHAT GREG SAID IT. I FEEL THE VACANCY ON THE TACTICAL REFINANCE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. AND UH, I CAN SAY THAT THERE IS A DISCONNECT. YOU KNOW, IN TALKING WITH THE CHAIR AND JUST HIS ABILITY. YOU KNOW THAT FOR ABILITY TO GAIN AN AUDIENCE WITH STAFF. BUT I'M ALSO USED TO BEING A TOOL AS PART OF THAT
[00:55:09]
TOOLBOX OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW WE GOT SEVERAL BOARD AND THEN MRE SAID.YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD IS NOT ALWAYS AWARE OF WHAT LITTLE WAS GOING ON WITH THAT BOARD BECAUSE IT'S A VERY SMALL TO FIND HISTORY. BUT I THINK THERE'S JUST KNOWING WHAT WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT TOOL AND SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND CHALLENGES THAT WE COULD PROBABLY BETTER LEVERAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE THAT BE INCLUDED. I SEE. IN TERMS OF RECOMMENDING THE STRATEGY OF HOW WE COULD BETTER ALIVE. COMBINE THOSE TWO REALLY POWERFUL TOOLS. IT'S A GOOD IDEA. NO. WE CONTINUE OUR INTERVIEWS TOMORROW. WE HAVE A FULL DAY. BOTH OF US, UH AND WE CONTINUE TO GATHER THAT THAT STAKE OF INPUT AND LIKE YOU SAID, 30 DAYS FROM NOW WE HOPE TO HAVE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS. FOR YOUR REVIEW. THANK YOU ALL. THANKS. THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO I APPRECIATE EMOTION. TO RIGHT. OK? NEXT ITEM IS FOR TEARS. I NUMBER SEVEN. THE PUBLIC HEARING
