UM PURPOSES WITH OUR OTHER PARTNER AGENCIES THAT ARE TIED TO THE GRANT THAT ONE OF THEM ALL THE SAME. IT'S NOT GREAT NEWS. MEANINGFUL CHANGE IN THERE AND WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T SEE IT BEING AN ISSUE. HOW MANY OTHER CITIES HAVE SUCH A PARAGRAPH? SO, UH, SOTO CARRIES THE GRANT THROUGH DALLAS COUNTY , ALONG WITH US IN CEDAR HILL CORN, OKAY. PROBLEMS QUESTIONS ALRIGHT BEFORE BE CONSIDER A RESOLUTION THAT CLEARING THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY AS SAVAGE AND AUTHORIZING THE INTER CITY MANAGER TO DONATE TO THE SWAT TEAM AND CEDAR HILL REGIONAL PARK TRAINING ACADEMY CENTER TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP. THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE IS IN POSSESSION OF FIVE VEHICLES THAT ARE NO LONGER NEEDED FOR PUBLIC USE. FINANCIAL SERVICES DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLES ARE MINIMAL VALUE. THE CITY POUND NEEDS SPACE IN THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE WOULD LIKE TO DONATE THEIR VEHICLES TO THE SWAT TEAM AND A CEDAR HILL REGIONAL TRAINING ACADEMY CENTER. AND AGAIN, CHIEFLY BITTEN ISSUE AND THE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT I LOOKED AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THEY LIKE TO PICK UP TRUCKS. THE WEDDING. BUT DOING THEM EXCEPT USING FOR TARGET PRACTICE IS THAT WHY ARE THEY IS THAT WHAT THEY BEAT FOR SWAP BUT BUT FOR ASTRO PHYSICALLY, WELL, SWAT TO WORK AROUND, UM AND ALSO TO EXTRACT PEOPLE THAT MAKE PRACTICE. EXTRACTING PEOPLE NEED TO BE ATTRACTIVE DEPARTMENT JAWS ALIVE . UM IN THESE VEHICLES, THEY NEVER WERE THE NECESSARILY THE CITY'S PER SE. THEY CAME TO US CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE, AND THE POUND HAS JUST BEEN ON US. HEY, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE SPACE BACK AND THERE IS THE VALUE. NO, THEY COULDN'T PUT THESE CARS ON THE STREET. NO MORE. UH, WE'RE JUST BE SCRAPPED. SO YEAH, AS I SAID , I LOOKED AT THESE ARE LIKE, WELL, CERTAINLY WE'RE NOT LOOKING SO I'M THINKING THAT IT HAD TO BE ANOTHER USE FOR, UM DURING PRACTICE SESSIONS OR SOMETHING SO THAT THAT'S THE PURPOSE PART. OKAY? ALRIGHT I DON'T FORESEE. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION, UM, APPROVING OF CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VALKENBURG STRATEGIC GOVERNMENT RESOURCES. STR CONSULTANT SERVICES ON THIS PIER SENSE OF SERVICE, THE INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR ANTICIPATED TERM OF THE CONTRACT FOR SIX MONTHS, INCLUDING THREE REMAINING MUCH THE YEAR 2023. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS REALLY A CRITICAL POSITION. UM IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET A FINANCE DIRECTORY AND TO ASSIST WITH OUR PRODUCT. AS WELL AS HELPING US PREPARE OUR 24 PROPOSED YOUR BUDGET. AND I'VE ASKED MR SIEGEL TO ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THEY I THINK THAT THERE'S TWO POINTS FROM MY OWN READING OF THE DOCUMENT. MY TALK, MR BROWN . I HAD TO READ IT THREE TIMES BEFORE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS. BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. WHY S GR WITH CHARGES THAT $136,000 FIND SOMEBODY. BUT FIRST TWO READINGS. THAT'S WHAT IT CAME ABOUT. FINALLY ON MY THIRD READING ON PAGE THREE OF SIX OF THE ATTACHMENT ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT'S WHERE IT CAME CLEAR TO ME IS THAT WE ARE PAYING S GR PAY THE CONSULTANT WHO IS GOING TO SERVE THE INTERIM FINANCE, JUST GO SERVICES DIRECTOR. SO I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT THREE TIMES, SO IT'S NOT STR IS CHARGING US TO FIND SOMEBODY. IT'S THAT THEY ARE USING HER. I GUESS SHE'S LIKE A 10 99 MSGR TERMS UNDER THE TERMS OF A 10 99 FOR BEING MSGR, WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING US YOUR $112 AN HOUR FOR HER CONSULTANT SERVICES LAST YARD. SHE'S GOING TO BE SITTING IN OUR SEATS AS INTERIM PHYSICAL SERVICES DIRECTOR. THAT'S CORRECT. MR CONTRERAS? YES, SIR.
TWO WAS CONFUSED BY THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THIS ITEM THAT MAY HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS. I'D LIKE TO ASK THAT THIS BE MOVED TO INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. SO WE HAVE TO SPEND MORE TIME ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONTRACT ITSELF. OKAY SURE. YES GOOD BEFORE WE. ESPECIALLY POSSIBLE FORCE TO DO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. UM. THE
[00:05:12]
WORDING THAT WE HAVE FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM NUMBER ONE VERY GOOD COVER THAT I THINK WE HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SEPARATE , BUT WE COULD MAKE THAT PART OF OUR SPECIAL. EXECUTIVE SESSION NUMBER. OKAY, SO WITH THAT CONCURRENCE IN THAT REQUEST, WE NEED TO HAVE TIME FOR US TO HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION PRIOR TO GOING INTO THE CITY COUNCIL SESSION. SO THOSE QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED, AND WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION BEFORE WE ACTUALLY MOVED FROM THE SIDE. BUT AS MR CONTRERAS HAS REQUESTED, REMOVED THIS AS WELL FROM CONCERN FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.CONSENSUS ON THAT, MR MCBURNETT CONSIDERABLE THAT AND THEN ALSO WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, I AM SURE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS, BUT I LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO THANK FOR WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BUDGET . YEAH, THERE'S A DEFICIT OF 200 DEFICIT. COMRADE $200,000 IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET. THE ISLAND THAT WE HAVE MEMORY SERVES IN TERMS OF DOLLARS, SO THAT WE'VE GOT SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THAT. SO LET ME MAKE A NOTE HERE. THIS IS GOING TO BE MOVED TO INDIVIDUALS AERATION. AND WE WILL COVER THAT. UM. WE MAKE FOUR C, WHICH ACTUALLY WILL FOLLOW THAT FIVE G. ANOTHER HERE FOR C. CHEF. YOU CAN FOLLOW. IT WILL FOLLOW. FIVE G. HMM. AND CONSEQUENTLY. ALMOST CERTAIN THAT ITEM FIVE A TAKE ANY NECESSARY ACTIONS. CONCESSIONAL MOVED AFTER THAT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. SO ITEM FIVE. A IS PROBABLY GONNA BE PROBABLY MOST LIKELY IS GOING TO FOLLOW, FORESEE UNBRIDLED FRIEND OF CONSIDERATION. I'LL MAKE A NOTE OF THAT HERE. EXECUTIVE SESSION ACTION.

MR RON THOMPSON THOMPSON, THE FORAGERS, SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THE COUNCIL. THIS IS AN HONOR FOR ME AS A HOMETOWN BOY, I GET TO BE THE VERY FIRST CHAIR OF THE VERY FIRST ARTS COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. WE'RE FRESH OUT OF THE PACKAGE. THIS IS ART FUTURE THIS WEEKEND AT JUNE TEAM.COMMISSIONER ARE SARAH MESSIAHS. AND PERRY. OUR VICE CHAIR, TIM PERRY. ANGELA THORNE, HARRIS AND TIFFANY WYATT. SHE COULDN'T BE WITH US TODAY, BUT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW HER. OUR CURRENT CAT WRANGLER IS I REFER TO HIM AS THAT WAS HANDY. WE WERE CONVENED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME ON JANUARY 20/4 OF THIS YEAR. AT THE TIME FOR THE SEVEN COMMISSIONERS WERE APPOINTED.
EVENTUALLY, TWO MORE JOIN THE PARTY. AND WE STILL HAVE ONE SEAT THAT REMAINS VACANT. SINCE JANUARY. WE'VE HAD ONE REGULAR MEETING AT LEAST ONE WORKSHOP EVERY SINGLE MONTH. AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE'VE HAD 100% COMMISSIONER PARTICIPATION AT EVERY MEETING, AND EVERY WORKSHOP. WE'RE SMALL, BUT WE'RE MIGHTY AND ONLY SIX MONTHS WE'VE JUMPED IN. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE MOST RECENT 2023 BEST SOUTHWEST JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION HERE. UH, WE HOSTED AN ARTIST PERCEPTION. THE JURY, THE VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITION. UM IF YOU GET A CHANCE, AND YOU SEE THE ART WORKING ALL OVER CITY HALL THIS IS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VISUAL ARTS COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND FROM ACROSS THE REGION TO COME TOGETHER. THE WINNER. THE JURY WAS IT'S CALLED HALLOWEEN ANYHOW, CURTIS FERGUSON, HE'S VERY POPULAR ARTIST. I HAVE TO LOOK AT HIS NAME BECAUSE I ALWAYS FORGET NAMES. A SECOND HAVE TO SAY THAT HE WON THE COMMISSIONER'S FAVORITE. IT ALSO GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY. WE'VE BEEN LIAISING WITH HER FELLOW COMMISSIONERS AND BEST UP WITH COMMUNITY. WE'RE THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. SO IT WAS SUCH A THRILL WHEN SODA WHO STARTED THERE WAS 20 YEARS AGO DECIDED TO SHOW UP LENDER SUPPORT AND LINDA EXPERTISE TO US. ADDITION TO JUNETEENTH, WE OPEN DISCUSSIONS FOR SUPPORT OF THE NEW YEAR OLD TUCKER BILL FILLED HOUSE. I TOOK THIS PICTURE OF THIS WEEKEND. YOU CAN SEE THE MURAL IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF REPLACEMENT. UH WE HAVE ACTIVELY INVITED CITY STAFF TO COME AND LEND THEIR EXPERTISE TO US AND EVERY SINGLE REGULAR MEETING WE'VE HAD PEOPLE FROM THE STAFF GARCIA, BROWNSVILLE, JENNIFER OD AND ANGELA OPENS UH, INDIVIDUALLY. WE GO OUT. WE SCOUR THE COMMUNITY. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TALKING TO PEOPLE. GALLERY OWNERS BUSINESS, UH, BUILDING OWNERS, EXHIBITION AND PERFORMANCE VENUES. CITY FACILITIES. AND WE'VE ALSO STARTED TALKING TO PEOPLE YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S A LOVELY CONTINGENCY FROM THE DUCK EVIL COMMUNITY THEATER. GALLERY OWNERS, PATRONS, ARTISTS, NONPROFIT LEADERS, BUSINESS OWNERS. WHAT DOES THIS ARTS COMMISSION MEANS TO YOU? WE'VE DIRECTED 17 POLICIES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS TO MEASURE THE IMPORTANCE OF INVESTMENTS IN THE ARTS. THAT'S THE 40 PAGE DOCUMENT. I CAN'T BE RIGHT. READ. THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IS JUST ENOUGH TO START TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO FOCUS. EVEN STARTED MAKING A LOGO FOR OURSELVES.
THIS WAS CREATED BY OUR VICE CHAIR. UH AND SORRY. AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WAS USED MOST EFFECTIVELY INCORPORATING INTO THE EXISTING BRANDING, SO WE HAVE A VERY BUSY AGENDA PLAN.
FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR PLAN FOR ROBUST PUBLIC FUNDING FOR THE ARTS. UH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LANDMARK HOME FOR THE ARTISTS AND DUNCANVILLE POP UP ART EXPERIENCES RELATED FESTIVALS
[00:25:01]
AND EVENTS. WE HAVE PLANS TO BOLSTER LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THE ECONOMY THROUGH PROGRAMMING PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH THE ARTS ARTS PLACE, MAKING IT UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTY. ARTS TOURISM CAMPAIGN. UM AND SUPPORTING THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN, SPECIFICALLY THE ARTS AND CULTURE PRIORITY AND THEN OH, MISS, SO YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE WEREN'T STARTED FILLING OF THOSE BLANKS. UM THIS ALL LEADS TO ON DOWN THE ROAD AS WE START TO THINK ABOUT A COMPREHENSIVE CULTURAL PLAN. THAT'S OSTENSIBLY WHAT WE WANT THE CITY TO SEE IS THEY WANT US TO IMMEDIATELY SEE THERE'S MORE THINGS HAPPENING, AND IT FEELS LIKE THINGS ARE HAPPENING. IT'S EXCITING, BUT ALSO THE PLANNING THAT NOBODY SEES. BUT WE WANT EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE IS HOW DO WE PLAN FOR CULTURAL PROGRAMMING IN THE FUTURE? WHAT'S PLANNED? I THINK IN SIX MONTHS WE'VE DONE WELL. AND I THINK THAT WE CAN CONTINUE WHEN NEED SOME HELP FROM THE COUNCIL. WE WOULD LIKE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION FROM HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUNDS ON ELIGIBLE PRODUCTS PROJECTS RIGHT NOW, WE ALREADY HAVE PEOPLE COMING TO US AND LOOKING FOR WAYS THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER. AUTHORITY AND ENDORSEMENT TO COORDINATE COMMITTEES, COLLABORATIONS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. ARTS BRING PEOPLE TO THE TABLE. UM WHETHER YOU'RE LISTENING TO IT, WHETHER YOU'RE SEEING IT WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING AT. PEOPLE WANT TO TALK ABOUT ART, AND THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE. UM AUTHORITY AND ENDORSEMENT TO ACCEPT PROPOSALS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF OUTDOOR ART, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE PURVIEW OF ANOTHER CITY COMMISSION. THAT'S A PARTICULAR RELEVANCE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT A NEW MURAL FOR THE FILLED HOUSE. YET ANOTHER COMMISSION DECIDES WHAT GETS APPROVED. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR US, UM, AUTHORITY AND ENDORSEMENT FOR CREATING INTERCOM. YOU MENTIONED COMMUNICATIONS, COORDINATION OF SHARE INTERESTS OF THE ARTS PROGRAM AND COMMISSIONS, BOARDS AND DEPARTMENTS. UM IT'S EVIDENT TO ME THAT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTS PROGRAM TO SOLVE OR BEING PART OF THE SOLUTION. PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY AND WE WANT TO PARTICIPATE AND BE COMMUNICATIVE WITH OTHER FOLKS ADDRESSING THOSE PROBLEMS. OKAY, MR MAYOR, SIX MONTHS, 4.5 MINUTES. SO I WOULD LIKE TO. I PROMISED MAYOR I FORGOT TO SET THE TIMER, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE IN YOUR IN YOUR PACKAGE. THERE'S A 40 PAGE DOCUMENT WITH OUR POLICIES THAT WERE DRAFTING. WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON THE DRAFT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME CITY STAFF. YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IT. THOSE ARE ON GIRAFFES IN THE WAY THAT WE BEGIN TO DECIDE WHO WE ARE. THERE'S ALSO A DOCUMENT THAT COMMISSIONER AND PERRY HAS PUT TOGETHER AND START TO CREATE A RUNNING LIST. UM WHAT THE RESOURCES WE HAVE AND THE ARTS COMMUNITY ARTS SECTOR HERE IN DUNCANVILLE, AND ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A ONE PAGER IN SEPTEMBER, UM THERE AS A STATISTICAL REPORT THAT COMES OUT ABOUT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE ARTS AND HOW IT AFFECTS PEOPLE AT MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS. WE'LL DEFINITELY FOLLOW UP.COUNT IN SEPTEMBER. SO WHAT? YOU JUST PRESENTED TO US, RON. YOU HAD AUTHORITY AND ENDORSEMENT.
DOES THAT UM YES, IN ADDITION TO YOU WHAT WE WANT THAT I COULDN'T SEE THAT WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CREATE COMMITTEES. THEORETICALLY IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD PARTICIPATE WITH OTHER CITY COMMISSIONS OR INVITED THE CITY COMMISSIONERS. I GUESS WE COULD JUST INVITE THEM TO, UM IT WORKED VERY EFFECTIVELY. MS ODIO WAS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND I STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN. SHE GOT TO ARTS AND CULTURE AND SHE SAID, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD THE DEFINITIONS OF METRICS YET. WELL WE STARTED AT WORK AND THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S CLEAR.
THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY. I THINK JUST A SUGGESTION RATHER THAN ALREADY AN ENDORSEMENT, WHICH IS GOING TO REQUIRE GOING THROUGH. THANK YOU. CHANGES THE BYLAWS AND SO FORTH. I JUST WORKED WITH STAFF LIAISONS TO SAY, WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THINGS WORK AND JUST MAKE NOTES ON THEM AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN? TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY OFF OF IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU USE THAT THOSE TERMS OF AUTHORITY AND ENDORSEMENT THAT PUTS A WHOLE NEW PICTURE I WANT YOU ASKING FOR. OKAY, OKAY. SO RATHER THAN THAT, WHEN IT'S JUST EXPAND YOUR OPPORTUNITIES AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO INFORMALLY RATHER THAN COMING TO US WITH A CHANGE IN BYLAWS, NORTH PERCENT STAFF AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT 100% AGREE WITH CAMARO. RONALDO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS. WELL DONE. THANK YOU STUFF THAT I HAVE A BIG BELIEVER IN THE ARTS AND HOW IT ECONOMIC IMPACT EXPLOSIVE. THE COMMUNITY. BUT I WILL SEND THE AMERICA EVEN SUGGESTED I AM BOTTOM. I LIKE IT. IT'S GOING TO IT, UM THE ARTWORK THAT'S OUT HERE IS JUST FABULOUS. WHEN I WAS FRIDAY NIGHT, WHEN I LOOKED AT BEST OF IT WAS IT REALLY WORKS ON YOUR HEART AND YOUR SPIRIT TO SEE WHY THE ARTIST DREW WHAT THEY DID UNDERSTANDING THAT ONE PICTURE THAT'S OUT THERE. IT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND IT HAS ITS THREE DIMENSIONAL PERSPECTIVE. AND I TALKED TO THE
[00:30:07]
ARTIST AND ON THE BACK OF HER FRAME, SHE WROTE OUT WHY SHE WROTE WHAT SHE DID THAT PICTURE.SO IT ADDS PROBLEMS TO THAT PARTICULAR PICTURE. WHY SHE PAINTED IT AND I SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ALL THESE PEOPLE, SHE SAID. IT'S ACTUALLY A COMPILATION OF 45 TO 50 PICTURES OF PEOPLE SHE TOOK WHILE SHE WAS IN GOD. AND SHE USED THOSE PICTURES TO MAKE THIS THIS AGGREGATION OF VILLAGE. AND IT REALLY REALLY TOUCHES YOU. AND THEN WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND, MR FERGUSON, MR FERGUSON, BY THE WAY, HELPED DESIGN THE MURAL THAT'S ON THE WALL, THEN ODELL AND COPPERHILL. SO HE'S VERY DEEPLY INVOLVED ARE CITY AND THEN WHEN HE DISCUSSED HIS PICTURE, I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE DETAILS, BUT THOSE THE IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRIPS OF PAINT.
THE RED WHITE DRIPS. EACH OF THOSE HAVE A MEANING TO HIM. IT'S NOT JUST STUFF TO START, HE EXPLAINED. WHY THOSE. UH PARTICULAR COLORS MEANS SOMETHING SO TO UNDERSTAND AND TALK TO THE ARTIST. IT WAS FANTASTIC TO BE THERE AND LISTEN TO THE ARTISTS WHO THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT DRAWS THERE. BUT THEIR HEART AND SPIRIT IS, UM SO THE START SOME COMMISSIONERS, I THINK IS A WONDERFUL ADDITION AND HAVING RISOTTO STEP UP. WHO WAS IT? I THINK IT WAS WAS ANSWERED. WE'RE GONNA SIT AT THEIR FEET, MAYBE SOMEBODY SAID TO SIT AT THE FEET OF THE SOTO COMMISSION TO LEARN FROM THEM. I THINK IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT MR CONSUL HAD THERE'S ACTUALLY 40. A MANAGER BROWN. ABOUT LAST YEAR HAD OF DOING INTERVIEWS WAS KIND OF A SPECIAL MEETING THAT WE WENT OVER. BOYS AND COMMISSIONS. JUST COMPREHENSIVELY. SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WANT TO CHANGE. UM AND I KNOW THAT THERE WERE SOME SOME REQUESTS, RIGHT? I FEEL LIKE IT. MIGHT WANT TO DISCUSS. THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPECIAL MEETINGS. WE COULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE YOU COORDINATED THAT LAST YEAR, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT UM, IF WE COULD SCHEDULE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AHEAD OF OUR INTERVIEWS JUST SO WE CAN KIND OF JUST DISCUSS POISON CONDITIONS IN GENERAL. ABSOLUTELY DIRECTION WE'RE GOING IN. ANY ISSUES THAT WERE SAYING, ETCETERA. AND THEN THAT QUESTION SO ON OUR AGENDA, THIS IS REFERRED TO AS AN ANNUAL REPORT.
WE'RE GETTING FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION. I GUESS WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT, TOO. WE HAVE THAT MEETING WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE REPORTS. AT LEAST ANNUALLY. THIS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD DIRECTLY FROM ANY OF OUR BOYS COMMISSIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING SO THAT THAT DISCUSSION MY THIRD QUESTIONS. FUN YOU, MR THOMPSON. THERE'S A SLIDE IN THERE. YOU KNOW IF YOU HAD ANY EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS. WHAT Y'ALL ARE DOING, BUT YOU COULD BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THAT BRIEF, SO THE ARTS ARE MOLDING BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY PARTICIPATING IN CAPACITY THAT WE CAN IN THIS COMMUNITY. UH ARTS THE WAY THAT AREN'T HITS THE ECONOMY HITS AND ONE OR TWO WORDS. I'LL MAKE THIS BRIEF. TRANS. ACTUALLY YOU BUY A PIECE OF OCCUPIED TICKET THAT IS SOME ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. UM THE RIPPLE EFFECT. I'M GOING TO GO TO A PLAY GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE A BABYSITTER. I'M GOING TO BUY SOME NEW CLOTHES. I'M GOING TO GO OUT TO EAT. I'M GONNA GO HAVE A DRINK. AND THEN I'M GONNA GO HIT THIS THING OVER HERE. AND THEN I'M GOING TO GO PICK UP THE WRITING UBER BACK BECAUSE I HAD TOO MANY DRINKS, AND THEN I'M GONNA SEND IT. UH, BABYSITTER HUNG. SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE REALLY STRATEGIC ABOUT DOING OUR DEVELOPMENT IS IT'S NOT JUST SO MUCH THAT WE CREATE OUR EXPERIENCES THAT WE CREATE PATHWAYS FROM CULTURE TO COMMERCE AND BACK AGAIN, SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING ON THIS PART OF MAINSTREAM ALL ALONG THE WAY, WE NEED TO CREATE A PATH THAT SOMEONE STOPS. THEY HAVE A DRINK. THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT. SAME THING WITH TOURISM, SO THERE'S THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO BRING PEOPLE HERE TO STAY IN HOTELS. BUT THERE'S ALSO THINGS THAT WE CAN DO WHEN PEOPLE IN HOTELS KEEP THEM HERE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT IT, WE HAVE THESE REALLY AMAZING EXPERIENCES THAT CAN TOUCH A PERSON WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT'S HAPPENING. WHAT CAUSES A PERSON TO CREATE SOMETHING, BUT WE KNOW WHAT THAT REALLY MAKES THAT AS WELL AS A VIBRANT ECONOMY BEHIND IT, SO THERE'S ALWAYS RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTISTS TO MAKE ART AND FOR US TO EXPERIENCE ART, SO THAT IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 12 AND THREE WAYS TO CREATE IT AND TRACK IT. CHRIST, YOU SAID. FIVE MINUTES AGO. YOU NEEDED OUR HELP, AND I ASSUMED YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE COUNCIL AND I THINK MAYOR, YOU MAY RESPONDED TO THAT. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH WAS SO WE COULD HELP YOU BY THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY MANAGER.
THE ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY SO OSTENSIBLY. I LIKE AUTHORITY ENDORSEMENT BECAUSE IT MAKES IT
[00:35:01]
SOUND VERY IMPORTANT WHEN I SAY, THE MAYOR SAID. UM BUT AT THIS POINT WAS WELL TAKEN, AND WE ABSOLUTELY CAN DO IT, AND IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO FOLKS WITNESS. I HEARD IT. THE FIRST THE FIRST PART IS I WANT, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING OUR HOMEWORK. AND SO WHEN YOU RECEIVE A PROPOSAL RECOMMENDATION THAT'S ELIGIBLE FOR HOT TAX I WANT YOU TO SAY WE GOT. WE GOT TO SUPPORT THE ARTS COMMISSION BECAUSE ANY OTHER COMMENTS. VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME COMMISSION AND THEATER HERE PART OF ARTS. BIG UMBRELLA TERM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE VIBRANT.

I WANTED TO SHOW YOU TONIGHT. WAS THE OTHER CITIES AROUND US OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO OUR PROPERTIES ARE OLDER. PROPERTIES AND THEY HAVE PARTIAL FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS IN THEM, AND IF YOU'LL NOTICE ON THE SECOND PAGE. ONCE IN DESOTO.
WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH VERY QUICKLY. YOU'LL SEE A HASH MARK . THAT'S THAT'S A PART OF A BUILDING. THAT'S FIRE SPRINKLED THE BIGGER PARTS OVER OVER LIKE 10 12,000 SQUARE FEET. AND ALL THE OTHER SPACES AND ALL THE LINES THAT YOU SEE ARE ALL FIREWALLS. THERE ARE I WON'T CALL THEM THE FIREWALLS. I'M GOING TO CALL THEM BARRIER WALLS . THERE THERE. SHEETROCK WALLS ON METAL STUDS UP UNDERNEATH THE DECK. NONE OF THEM ARE BREAK. THEY'RE DONE AND CURRENT.
THEY'RE DONE WITH CURRENT BUILDING PERMITS. CURRENT CODE CURRENCY O S. AND THAT'S THE ONE STUNNING THE SOULS OF THE SODAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO THIS IN A WAY THAT'S REASONABLE FOR THESE OLD SHOPPING CENTER. THE NEXT ONE IS ONE IN DALLAS. THE PULP IN 67. IF YOU NOTICE THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THOSE BUILDINGS THAT'S FIRE SPRINKLED. THE REST OF THEM ARE ALL SHEETROCK FAR RATED SHEETROCK ON METAL STUDS. UH WE GOT MANY NEW CEOS JUST APPROVED JUST RECENTLY. UM NONE OF THESE HAVE EVER HAD THAT. I THAT I KNOW OF IT. I'VE NEVER HAD A FATALITY. THE 35 YEARS OR EVER ANYONE EVER HURT IN ANY OF MY PROPERTY. DUE TO FIRE. THE NEXT PAGE THAT YOU SEE, AS IS THE LIST OF SWEETS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A WAITLIST PLAZA AND YOU'LL SEE WE'VE BEEN ISSUED BUILDING PERMITS. YOU'LL SEE A LIST OF BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. THEN OVER TWO ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU'LL SEE THIS CERTAIN CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY THAT WE'VE BEEN ISSUED ALSO ON SOME OF THESE SPACES. AND SOME OF THEM ARE BEING HELD UP RIGHT NOW, AS YOU KNOW. THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE HERE TONIGHT. THE WANT TO SHOW YOU ITS FINANCIALS FROM WHEATON PLAZA SINCE WE WORKED ON THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP TO YOU EVERY MONTH.

YOU CAN SEE IT VERY CLEARLY WHAT THE TENANTS ARE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME. THANK YOU.
THE NEXT CARD I HAVE IS ERICA BROWNING. ERICA BROWNING FOR FOUR TO EAST CHERRY STREET. I'M SPEAKING ON ITEM. FIVE C. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLAY SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGES IN FIRE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN DUNCANVILLE. NUMBER ONE. WHAT ARE THE FIRE MARSHALS AND FIRE CHIEFS CONCERNS AND EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS. IT SEEMS TO ME THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS DURING A RECENT BRIEFING SESSION. NUMBER TWO. HOW MANY BUILDINGS IN THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE? WILL THIS POTENTIALLY IMPACT HOW MANY PEOPLE ACCESS THOSE BUILDINGS ON A DAILY BASIS WHO WILL POTENTIALLY BE AT RISK BY RELAXED STANDARDS? NUMBER THREE IN EACH OF THESE CASES. IS THAT THE COMMERCIAL TENANT OR IS THAT THE LANDLORD WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THE BUILDINGS MEET FIRE SAFETY STANDARDS? IN FACT, IT IS COMMON FOR A COMMERCIAL LEASE TO REQUIRE THE LANDLORD TO ENSURE THE PREMISES ARE FIRE COMPLIANT AND HAVE THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. THIS IS PART OF COUNTING THE COST OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP. I'M ASSUMING THERE IS ONE OR A SMALL NUMBER OF LANDLORDS WHO HAVE REQUESTED THESE CHANGES. IF THESE ARE ADOPTED WHAT IS TO STOP OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS FIVE
[01:05:04]
YEARS DOWN THE ROAD FROM REQUESTING FURTHER RELAXATION OF THE STANDARDS. AND WHERE DOES IT STOP? I'M CONCERNED THAT DUNCANVILLE IS SACRIFICING THE SAFETY OF BUSINESS OWNERS AND PATRONS. COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. I HOPE YOU WILL SERIOUSLY SEEK THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS AND CONSIDER THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE VOTING ON RELAXING SAFETY STANDARDS IN OUR CITY. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MR TENNANT AND THE FIRE CHIEF. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT TO CONSIDER, AND IT IS COMPLICATED. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE HARD DECISIONS ON OUR BEHALF. THANK YOU. MY FINAL CARD IS FROM MR PATRICK HARVIE. THANK YOU, MA'AM. UM PATRICK, HARVIE 10 10, HUNTINGTON'S IN DUNCANVILLE. THE REASON WHY I HAVE COME BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. HE IS ON BEHALF OF MY WIFE AND I THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL. FOR GRACING US WITH THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS MR AND MRS JUNETEENTH IN THE RECENTLY CELEBRATED JUNETEENTH EVENT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THAT'S MY COMMENT. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES ITEM NUMBER THREE ON OUR AGENDA. MOVING ON TO ITEM[4. CONSENT AGENDA]
NUMBER FOUR. THE CONSENT AGENDA CITY SECRETARY KNOW BEFORE WE PROCEED WITH THIS FOR THE CITIZENS INFORMATION WE HAVE GOT TO CHANGE IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL IS GOING TO PROCEED FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. I DON'T FORESEE. HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO BE CHANGED TO AN INDIVIDUAL FOR CONSIDERATION ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. THEREFORE IT WILL NOW MOVE UNDER PARAGRAPH FIVE AND BECOME ITEM FIVE E AS A FOUR C ITEM UNDER ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. FURTHER THE ITEMS UP FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION , PARTICULARLY I DON'T FORESEE, AND SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE RELEVANT TO WHAT'S GOING TO BE OCCURRING IN TERMS OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO HERE'S THE ROADMAP. WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH ITEM FOUR A AND FOUR B CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE AN APPROVAL OF THOSE TWO ITEMS AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE WEREN'T EXECUTIVE SESSION THROUGH THE BRIEFING SESSION. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE OUR BUSINESS. WE HAVE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY IN A RECESS OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO ONCE WE COMPLETE ITEM FOR RAIN FOUR B. WE'RE GOING TO RECESS. THE OPEN PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL IS GOING TO GO BACK INTO THE BRIEFING ROOM INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE WILL COVER EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEMS AND WE WILL NOT COME OUT OF THAT UNTIL WE HAVE EVERYTHING RESOLVED. WE WILL THEN COME BACK INTO OPEN IN OPEN SESSION HERE. WE WILL COME BACK INTO THIS ROOM AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. AND THEN WE WILL CONCLUDE WITH ANY ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AS A RESULT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION AND CONCLUDED STAFF AND BOARD REPORTS, WHICH IS ITEM NUMBER SIX. I KNOW THAT'S A DIFFICULT ROAD MAP AND WE DISCUSSED THAT ROADMAP IN CITY COUNCIL IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AS WELL TO DETERMINE WHAT IS THE MOST DILIGENT AND EXPEDIENT MEANS FOR US TO CONCLUDE OUR BUSINESS TONIGHT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO, AND WE ALSO CONSIDERED IN DEFERENCE TO YOU CITIZENS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT TO HEAR OUR CITY COUNCIL. WE KNOW THAT GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. WE CANNOT TELL YOU HOW LONG THAT'S GOING TO BE, UH, IF YOU WISH TO STAY, WE CERTAINLY WELCOME YOU TO STAY. BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG WE'RE GOING TO BE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO WITH THAT CITY SECRETARY, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FOR A AND FOUR B. ITEM FOR A CONSIDERABLE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF RISOTTO, THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE TO PARTNER IN THE CRISIS ASSESSMENT OF RESOURCE ENGAGEMENT CARE TEAM TO PROVIDE PREVENTION AND FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES IN RESPONSE TO INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES SLASH SUPPORT SYSTEMS EXPERIENCING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS IN ORDER TO LESSEN THE FREQUENCY OF CRISIS INTERVENTIONS THAT REQUIRE POLICE PATROL.
