[WORK SESSION / BRIEFING]

[00:00:07]

NOW SIX O'CLOCK DATE IS FEBRUARY, THE SIXTH OF 2024. LOOKING FOR A CITY COUNCIL MEETING FROM BRIEFING SESSION TO BEGIN WITH, SO THAT'S GOING TO TURN OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER.

MR FINCH. MR. FINCH YOU PLEASE DISCUSS THE CONSENT. YES SIR. THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO THE FIRST ONE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR. A IS THE MINUTES I DON'T KNOW. SORRY TO GET THAT PERFECT.

ALRIGHT MOVING RIGHT ALONG. WE GOT THAT ONE ON THE WAY QUICK CONSENT ITEM AGENDA FOR TO BE CONSIDER A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT. MATTHEW STOCKMAN AS THE INTERIM POINTS, UM. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CHANGE DISCUSSION ON IT, BUT I WOULD JUST SAY THAT WE'RE SUPER EXCITED SYSTEM. POLICE CHIEF STAGNER BRINGS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT FIRST STARTED CONTROL OFFICER IN 1998 BEFORE RISING THROUGH THE RANKS.

DETECTIVE PATROL SERGEANT SPECIAL SERVICES SERGEANT LIEUTENANT OPERATIONS, LIEUTENANT ADMINISTRATIVE LIEUTENANT, AND THEN HIS STUFF. RUSHING TO THE ASSISTANT. SHE 2021. SO PURSUING HIS POSITION OF CHIEF OF POLICE. PERMANENTLY IS THE STAFF IS YOUR INTENTION TO CITY MANAGER RESEARCH FIRM OR CONSIDER, MR STOCK. WE HAVE PUT OUT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FROM DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT COULD HELP US WITH RESEARCH. WE HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES TO THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO WORK WITH STAFF ON IS THE SCOPE OF WORK OF THE SERVICES OF THAT. TO REALLY TRY TO HOLD DOWN THE COST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OF DOING THAT SEARCH AND THEN OPEN IT UP SO THAT ANYBODY WHO IS INTERESTED IN APPLYING, INCLUDING THE ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF OF THE UNITED POLICE CHIEF, IF HE'S INTERESTED IN FINDING YOU COULD DO SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR PROPER BACKGROUND CHECKS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS SO IN THE CONSIDERATION OF DO DILIGENCE IS NECESSARY. YOU FEEL IT'S NECESSARY DO THAT, JUST OKAY.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? I DON'T FORESEE CONSIDERED RESOLUTION APPROVING A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT WITH LEXAPRO FOR THE ANNUAL POLICY MANAGEMENT, DAILY TRAINING BULLETINS AND ACCREDITATION WORKBENCH. AND THE ONLINE POLICE ONE ACADEMY TRAINING PLATFORM IN THE MOUNTAIN NOT TO EXCEED $124,960. JUST SCANNING THE ROOM HERE REAL QUICK. I DO NOT SEE THE INTERIM POLICE CHIEF YET, BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS OUT BECAUSE OUTSIDE, UM IN TERMS OF ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ALEXA POLL CONTRACT. HE IS PART OF OR MAYBE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER THERE.

THERE HE IS, HMM. ANY QUESTIONS, MR PETRUS? WE HAVE EXHIBIT A. YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF, BUT IT IS A LISTING TOP DESCRIPTION OF DIFFERENT EXPENDITURES, EQUALING THE 21,004 OR SIX ANNUAL LAW ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND D TV SUBSCRIPTION. THEN YOU BELONG ENFORCEMENT, SUPPLEMENTAL MANUALS AND SO ON. IT'S UNFAIR TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS, BUT I KIND OF WANTED TO NO, BUT BUT THESE ARE BECAUSE THEY'RE REPEATED OVER THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD. SO WHAT LEXAPRO DOES. AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING MEXICO IS THEY HAVE LOOK AT THESE THINGS THROUGH BEST PRACTICES. LEGAL EXPERTS HAVE ADVENTURE. CHECK OUR POLICIES. BEST PRACTICES TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE. THEY'RE ALSO WORKING TO BECOME COMPLIANT WITH TPC A WERE ACCREDITED WHEN SO A LOT OF THAT IS JUST ENSURING ITS CHECKS AND BALANCES ESSENTIALLY THAT OUR POLICIES ARE WITHIN THE BEST PRACTICES THAT THEY WILL GET THROUGH. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

YES MR MARK BURNETT. AND SO HOW LONG IS DUNCANVILLE BEEN DOING BUSINESS WOULD LIKE TO CALL UM, SO WE STARTED LAST YEAR. WE ACTUALLY REQUESTED YEAR ONE BE FUNDED THROUGH OUR FIVE SO THAT WAS OUR IMPLEMENTATION WITH OR POLICIES, SO IT'S A LONG, ARDUOUS PROCESS. WE HAVE A LIEUTENANT WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THIS, AND SHE MEETS WITH OUR REPRESENTATIVE WITH LIKE SUPPOSE WEEKLY TO ENSURE THAT OUR POLICIES THAT WE'RE REVIEWING THEM OBVIOUSLY, ARE SUBJECT MATTER. EXPERTS IN THE STATION OR REVIEW UNION AND THEN THEY GO THROUGH A PROCESS. AS I SAID, WITH BEST PRACTICES TO ENSURE THAT THEY GO THROUGH THE CRANK PROCESS, SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE STARTED LAST YEAR. NOW THE POLL IS OWNED BY PRAETORIAN. PRAETORIAN IS A PARENT COMPANY FOR SEVERAL OTHER LOWER. I GUESS OTHER SOFTWARE ITEMS THAT WE USE, WHICH

[00:05:07]

INCLUDES THE POLICE WANT ACADEMY. AND WHAT POLICE WANT. ACADEMY DOES ALLOWS US.

ADMINISTRATION OR THE LIEUTENANT WHOEVER TO ASSIGN SPECIFIC TRAINING TO OUR OFFICERS TO ALL PERSONNEL, FOR THAT MATTER. AND IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO EFFECTIVELY EFFICIENTLY AND COST EFFECTIVELY TO DO OUR ANNUAL RACIAL PROFILING TRAINING THAT THAT WERE REQUIRED TO STATUTORILY.

PRAETORIAN OWNS BOTH OF THOSE WERE ESSENTIALLY PUTTING THEM BOTH TOGETHER IN ONE CONTRACT.

INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO SEPARATE AND YOU CONSIDER POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CITY MANAGER CONSIDERED MORE EFFICIENT TO DO A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT, EVEN THOUGH THE AMOUNTS ARE $20,000 ROUGHLY PER YEAR. IT MAKES US MORE EFFICIENT IN THE LONG RUN TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE THAT IN FIVE YEARS, BUT WE CAN STILL GO YEAR BY YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THE CONTRACTORS. YES SIR. SO ELTON WORKED ON THE CONTRACT WITH US. UM SINCE WE'RE PUTTING SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS, IT'S IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME AND INEFFICIENT FOR US TO DO THIS ONLY FOR A YEAR AND THE NEXT YEAR WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE TO DO SO. YES. SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE DID.

THE FIVE OF US SOMETHING GOES. SOUTH COUNCIL WON'T SEE THIS AGAIN FOR FIVE YEARS. THAT'S CORRECT. YES, SIR. IN THE CITY HAS A 30 DAY OUTLAWS. NEVER CONTRACT ABSOLUTELY SAYING, YEAH, WE CAN ESCAPE CLAUSES IN THERE. SO IF WE NEED YES. MISTER PANTS OR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

[00:35:01]

MAYOR, MR CITY MANAGER. UH, ENGLISH COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME MY NAME IS FRED WU. I'M WITH HIGH CHOOSER. WE'RE A PRIVATE COMPANY THAT FOCUSES ON RESIDENTIAL GROUP PURCHASING PROGRAMS. WE'D LIKE TO TALK TO Y'ALL ABOUT TO RESIDENTIAL GROUP PURCHASING PROGRAMS THAT WE CAN MAKE AVAILABLE TO DUNCANVILLE RESIDENTS. BUT IN ORDER TO DO SO, WE'D LOVE YOUR SUPPORT FROM THE CITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR RESIDENTS KNOW ABOUT IT AND CAN PARTICIPATE IN THESE PROGRAMS. UH YOU DON'T MIND ADVANCING THE SLIDES. THANK YOU. JUST KIND OF LIKE TRYING TO TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GROUP BUYING PROGRAMS AND HOW WE SET THEM UP. UH, THIS IS WHAT OUR COMPANY HAS DONE FOR OVER 15 YEARS NOW. WE'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT TEXAS PARIS SWITCHES THAT'S FOR ENERGY RATES IN PLANS FOR EVERYBODY WHO HAS AN OPTION TO SELECT THEIR RETAIL LIKE PROVIDER. ALSO TELL YOU ABOUT SOLAR SWITCH THAT IS FOR ROOFTOP SOLAR FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GOING SOLAR AT HOME. SO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE DO. WE ARE CITIES IN OTHER PARTNERS THAT WE WORK WITH THE DO AND THEN HAVE A FEW SLIDES TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE COMPANY. YOU ARE INTERESTED. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BENEFITS. WE THINK THIS CAN BRING TO YOUR RESIDENCE, AND THIS GOES FOR BOTH POWER SWITCH AS WELL AS SOLAR SWITCH. WE THINK THAT WHICHEVER THOSE PRODUCTS IN A LOT OF CASES IN OTHER PRODUCTS AS WELL BY COMING TOGETHER, THEY CAN GET A BETTER PRICE. UM IT'S ABOUT SCALE AND PURCHASING. WE TRY TO REALLY SET UP A HASSLE FREE. PROCESS FOR FOLKS TO FIND OUT INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR PURCHASING DECISION. THERE'S NO OBLIGATION TO PROCEED TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE PROGRAM.

BUT IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR THEM TO FIND OUT. HEY, HOW MUCH DO I THINK I COULD SAY IF I SWITCHED ENERGY PROVIDERS OR IF I INSTALLED SOLAR AT MY HOUSE? UH ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR COMPANY DOES ON A PROFESSIONAL BASIS IS WE'VE MET THE SERVICE PROVIDERS. SO WHETHER IT'S THE RETAIL ELECTRIC PROVIDERS OFFERING TO PROVIDE AN ELECTRIC PLAN TO YOU. OR SOLAR INSTALLATION COMPANY WHO'S WILLING TO WORK ON YOUR ROOF. WE'RE GOING TO GET ALL THOSE COMPANIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE QUALIFIED. CREDIBLE AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS. WE PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ALL STAGES, SO WE HAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BASED IN HOUSTON FOR A LONG TIME. WE ACTUALLY JUST MOVED IT. S CENTRAL AMERICA. SAME TIME ZONE GREAT SERVICE BILINGUAL BUT WILL HELP CUSTOMERS. UH THEY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RATE PLAN THAT'S OFFERED, OR THERE'S SOLAR INSTALLER THAT'S ASSIGNED TO THEM, ETCETERA. AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT ALREADY MENTIONED THIS, BUT WE REALLY ONLY WORK ON THIS PROGRAM AND BRING IT TO RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES WHERE WE HAVE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT. SO I CHOOSE THERE'S ACTUALLY FACED OVERSEAS IN THE NETHERLANDS. WE WORK IN FIVE DIFFERENT COUNTRY MARKETS, INCLUDING THE U. S ON THE STEPS PROGRAMS AND CURRENTLY WE WORK WITH OVER 100 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ACROSS THE WORLD. THE CONSUMER JOURNEY IS REALLY PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD IN TERMS OF BOTH PRODUCTS, SO I THINK THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS I'M TALKING TO YOU ABOUT TONIGHT, BUT THE PROCESS IS FAIRLY SIMILAR IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ASKED, TRY TO OFFER TO CONSUMERS OR RESIDENTS, SO WE PUT UP A REGISTRATION WEBSITE. IT'S AN EASY PLACE FOR YOU TO SIGN UP AND SAY YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SWITCHING YOUR ENERGY PLAN AND WE'RE INSTALLING SOLAR. IT'S FREE. IT JUST TAKES A FEW MINUTES. THERE'S NO OBLIGATION. OUT OF THAT WE ACTUALLY COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POTENTIAL SWITCH OR YOUR HOME ENERGY. YOUR HOME SOLAR INSTALLATION AND WILL PROVIDE YOU A PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION. AND SO AT THE VERY LEAST, BY SIGNING UP FOR THE PROGRAM, YOUR RESIDENTS WOULD FIND OUT. HEY, WE THINK YOU COULD SAVE $300 PER YEAR BY SWITCHING TO THIS ENERGY PROVIDER OR YOU KNOW YOUR ELECTRIC BILLS COULD GO DOWN, NOT ZERO, BUT MAYBE A LOT LOWER THAN WHAT THEY ARE NOW, OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 20 PLUS YEARS OF PRODUCING SOLAR ENERGY. WE GIVE FOLKS SOME TIME TO DECIDE.

IT'S NOT A FOREVER OFFER, BUT WE'LL HAVE THOSE SERVICE PROVIDERS MAINTAIN THAT DEAL.

FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX WEEKS. THAT'S IN BOTH. PROGRAMS RESIDENTS WILL HAVE ABOUT SIX WEEKS TO DECIDE. HEY, DO I WANT TO SWITCH? UH MY INTERESTED IN TALKING TO A SOLAR COMPANY ABOUT GOING SOLAR IF THEY DO DECIDE THEY WANT TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. THAT'S WHEN WE MOVE THEM INTO WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE FULFILLMENT STAGE. WE'RE REALLY ON THE BACK END WORKING WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE HANDLING ALL THE CUSTOMERS. I THINK THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES, I HAVE TWO SLIDES EACH I THINK ON THE ENERGY SWITCHING PROGRAM AND THE SOLAR PROGRAM, SO WE'LL TRY TO TELL YOU WHAT THE OFFERS LOOK LIKE. SO FOR TEXAS POWER SWITCH, REALLY THE OFFER TO RESIDENTS AS A FIXED RATE, IT'S ALWAYS FIXED GREAT. 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY ELECTRIC PLAN AT THE MOMENT WE'RE OFFERING TYPICALLY 12 AND 36 MONTH PLANS. SO WHAT WE DO IS WE GO OUT AND AGGREGATE A BUNCH OF PRESIDENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SWITCHING IN TEXAS. WE GO OUT TO THE RETAIL ELECTRIC PROVIDER MARKIT QUALIFY THEM. THEY CAN ONLY BID FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS IF

[00:40:05]

THEY MEET CERTAIN EXPERIENCE, AND, UH SERVICE LEVEL RATINGS. BUT IF THEY DO MAKE THOSE RATINGS THAT BIT FOR THE RIGHT TO SERVE AND OFFER THOSE CUSTOMERS SO TYPICALLY BASED ON THAT AUCTION PROCESS IN THE BULK PURCHASING POWER, ABLE TO DELIVER VERY NICE SAVINGS, SO TYPICALLY 20% LOWER RATES IF YOU GO WITH THE TEXAS POWER SWITCH RE PLAN VERSUS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE MARKET ON YOUR OWN. I LIKE A POWER TO CHOOSE WEBSITE. I THINK THAT YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS. WE SAY AVERAGE SAVINGS DEPENDS ON THE AUCTION. SO LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE MARKET'S GOING UP AND DOWN, BUT EVERY TIME WE AUCTION WE EXPECT TO GET A LOWER RATE THAN MARKET AND YOU KNOW THE AVERAGE SAVINGS PER YEAR. THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT WE PROMOTE TO YOUR RESIDENCE. SO OUT OF THIS CURRENT AUCTION, WE MIGHT SAY, HEY, WE THINK YOU COULD SAVE ON AVERAGE 3 TO $400 A YEAR IF YOU SWITCHED. OF COURSE, IT'S UP FOR UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCES, DECIDE AND SEE IF THAT REALLY IS GOING TO SAVE THE MONEY. WILL SUPPORT THEM THROUGH LIKE A VERY CLOSE ANALYSIS OF THEIR BILLS. IF THEY'D LIKE AT THE BEGINNING. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE RECOMMENDING. HEY, IF YOU SWITCHED, WE THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY AT A RATE THAT'S YOU KNOW, A BIT HIGHER. THIS RATE WOULD SAY TO YOU, YOU KNOW, 1.5 CENTS PER KWH OR WHATEVER. WE THINK THE ANNUAL SAVINGS WILL BE X. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN AVERAGE NUMBER. AND WE'D, UH FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CASE. IT WILL DO IT WILL VERY SOME OF WHOM WERE WORKING WITH IN TEXAS POWER SWITCH, SO WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING ON TEXAS POWER SWITCH AND IN THE STATE FOR WE'RE ON OUR 20TH PROGRAM PERIOD. SO WE USUALLY DO THREE AUCTIONS A YEAR . AND SO WE'RE ON OUR 20TH SLASH 21 WHERE WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN YEARS NOW. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS WERE PARTNERED WITH ALREADY IN THE IN THE STATE OF HERE IN THE METROPLEX. LANCASTER MANSFIELD.

I SEE. IT'S NOT TOO FAR. YOU GUYS CAN SEE MOST OF THE NAMES AND PROBABLY RECOGNIZE HIM BETTER THAN I DO. WE'RE NOT WORKING WITH A WHOLE LOT OF BIG CITIES ON THIS. WE ARE ON SOLAR.

SO Y'ALL IN A MINUTE. WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO'VE ALREADY SIGNED UP. 52,000 HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS TEXAS HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP THAT'S REGISTERING FOR FREE TO SEE IF THEY COULD SAVE HAVING ALL SWITCHED, BUT OUT OF THOSE THAT HAVE SWITCHED, WE THINK THEY'VE SAVED YEAH, OVER $10 MILLION ON THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS OVER THE COURSE OF THE SEVEN YEARS. THIS IS WHAT OUR NEXT TEXAS POWER SWITCH PROGRAM IS UP . UH WE'RE GONNA BE LAUNCHING IT AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. I WILL DO THE RETAIL ELECTRIC PROVIDER AUCTION IN APRIL. PERSONAL OFFERS WILL GO OUT TO EVERYBODY WHO REGISTERED MAY 7TH. THEY HAVE SIX WEEKS THEN TO DECIDE. DO YOU WANT TO SWITCH OR NOT SO HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU'LL HAVE THOSE ON THE ENERGY SWITCHING PROGRAM. UM IF NOT ALL , GO QUICKLY TO SOLAR SWITCH, AND, UH, SO VERY SIMILAR PROCESS . EXCEPT FOR IN THIS CASE, IT'S FOR ROOFTOP SOLAR, AS WELL AS BETTER BATTERY STORAGE. AND EVEN IF YOU WANT TO REVIEW CHARGER UPGRADE FOR YOUR GARAGE, FOR EXAMPLE, SOMETHING THAT'S PROGRAM WILL HELP HOUSEHOLD DO.

THE OTHER GROUP DISCOUNT MODEL, SO WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS. I THINK WE'RE ON OUR FOURTH OR FIFTH AUCTION IN TEXAS. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT THESE 15 TO 20% AVERAGE SAVINGS MARKS EACH TIME. OF COURSE, EVERY TIME WE GO TO AUCTION, WE GOT TO SEE WHAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR AND WHAT PEOPLE CAN BID. AH DIDN'T PART WITH THIS BECAUSE THIS IS HARDWARE ON YOUR ROOF THAT'S SUPPOSED TO STAY AND LAST FOR 20. 30 YEARS. WE DO A LOT OF BETTING ON ON THE HARDWARE, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT PANELS INVERTERS THE BATTERIES IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THAT, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WORKMANSHIP AND WARRANT, UH WORKMANSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE LEVELS. SO UM, SAME AS WITH THE OTHER PRODUCT. WHAT WE DO IS WE VET LIKE A MINIMUM QUALITY PACKAGE THAT WE THINK ALL CONSUMERS COULD BENEFIT FROM. AND THEN WE BASICALLY GET THE SERVICE PROVIDERS TO BID THE BEST PRICE. THEY CAN NOT SERVICE ONE CUSTOMER, BUT MULTIPLE UM, EXPERIENCED LICENSED LOCAL CONTRACTORS. I THINK IN THE TEXAS PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE RUN SO FAR WE'VE AWARDED 2 TO 3 INSTALLERS EACH TIME I CAN TELL YOU ALL THE NAMES OF THEM. I THINK THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE A BIT AND DEFINITELY LOCAL. TEXAS COMPANIES. I'LL GO AHEAD AND SKIP OVER THIS ONE SO WE CAN GET TO A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE MARKETING AND PROMOTION LOOKS LIKE FOR THIS. SO I'LL SHOW YOU A COUPLE EXAMPLES FROM THE CITY OF CORINTH OF HOW WE REALLY PROMOTE AND EDUCATE RESIDENTS ABOUT THE PROGRAM. ONE OF THE MAIN WAYS WE GET FOLKS TO REGISTER FOR THE PROGRAMS BY SENDING OUT A DIRECT MAIL LETTER. AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PROGRAM OFFERS TO PAY FOR. IF WE CAN GET THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT. AH IN THIS EXAMPLE WITH PRINCE WE WERE ABLE TO SEND OUT, YOU KNOW, X THOUSANDS OF LETTERS AND WITH THEIR LOGO AND SUPPORT OF THE LETTER. WE GET LOTS OF RESIDENTS TO OPEN IT UP AND LOOK AT IT AND

[00:45:08]

THEN IDEALLY SIGN UP FOR THE PROGRAM. WE'RE GETTING, YOU KNOW , LIKE 1 TO 2% OF FOLKS THAT GET THE LETTER. WE'LL END UP REGISTERING FOR OUR PROGRAM. PRETTY COST EFFECTIVE CONVERSION RATE FOR US, SO THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH MORE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. UM NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY ABOUT IT PRETTY SIMPLE, ONE PAGE LETTER. IT'S GOT A CALL TO ACTION AND GO TO THE WEBSITE.

PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE PROGRAM. FOR EACH OF YOU THAT ARE FORMAL PARTNERS WITH US ON THE PROGRAMS LIKE CITY OF KOREAN WE SET UP BASICALLY LIKE A LOCALIZED LEARNING PAGE FOR YOU, SO THEY'VE GOT A SOLAR SWITCH CORINTH LOOKING PAGE FOR PEOPLE THAT COME FROM DR UH AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE SENDING THEM TO FROM THE LETTER. UM SERVICE PROVIDER MANAGEMENT. I'M ACTUALLY GONNA LEAVE THIS FOR Y'ALL IN THE DECK. BUT WE DO A LOT ON THE SERVICE PROVIDERS SIDE TO TRY TO VET AND QUALIFIED FOLKS BEFORE THEY CAN EVEN ENGAGE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS. SO SINCE WE DO THIS WITH THE CITY OF TOKYO IN THE CITY OF AMSTERDAM. IN PLACES LIKE THAT WE WE'RE IN THIS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS, AND WE'RE ABOUT DELIVERING QUALITY RESULTS THAT ARE GONNA LAST SO THAT FOR US IS ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT SERVICE PROVIDERS TO WORK WITH YOUR LETTERS. SO A COUPLE ONLINE EXAMPLES OF HOW WE PROMOTE THE PROGRAM. THIS IS THE REGISTRATION SITE THAT I DESCRIBED. THIS IS FOR SOLAR SWITCH. THERE'D BE A SIMILAR VERSION FOR TEXAS POWER SWITCH. DIFFERENT PICTURE. UM IN DIFFERENT LOGOS, ETCETERA, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN CUSTOMIZE FOR YOU. ALL OF YOU DO DECIDE TO PARTICIPATE. WE LIKE TO HAVE A CITY SPLASH PAGES POSSIBLE. SO THIS IS CURRENT SOLAR SWITCH ON THEIR DOG PAGE? WE CREATE A WHOLE TOOL KIT OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS NEWSLETTER BLURBS, ETCETERA, SO THERE'S AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU AND, UH, NEXT SOLAR PROGRAMS AND LAUNCH YOUR IT'S LAUNCHING RIGHT NOW WE'RE GONNA COME UP TO THE AUCTION BY MARCH, AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE IF YOU ALL WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING THE PROGRAM BY THAT POINT. WITH THAT I'M GETTING SOME SIGNS AND SOME OF THE ORCHESTRA MUSIC SO I WILL LEAVE IT ON THIS WHICH IS ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SIDE. WE NEED YOUR KIND OF BUY IN AND SUPPORT THE PROMOTE PROGRAM AND PROMOTED COMMUNICATED TO YOUR RESIDENCE DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING BUT WE DO HAVE AN MOU SET OUT THERE AND THEN YOU CAN REVIEW IF YOU ALL ARE GOING TO TAKE ACTION IN THE FUTURE MEETING. I THINK YOU MOVE MANAGER HOUSE. CONCERNED THAT SUPPORT. I THINK THERE'S A EUPHEMISM FOR ENDORSEMENT. OKAY MY QUESTION. I'M NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING WHERE OUR CITY IS GOING TO SUPPORT THE CONTRACTOR WHERE THERE'S GOT TO BE MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BUSINESS. AND FOR US TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO ENDORSE. I CHOOSE REVERSES. HOW MANY MULTIPLE OTHERS ARE THERE OUT THERE AND THIS ONE? I WOULD SUGGEST ANYMORE LOOKING AT THIS BE DONE. INTROSPECTIVELY BY MR BROCK AND SERVICE OR WHO ELSE? 20 NOT WILLING TO PUT MY NAME ON AN ENDORSEMENT ON THIS BECAUSE TO ME, IT'S DANGEROUS IN TERMS OF I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE OTHER CITIES DID. I REALLY DON'T CARE. BUT WE AS A CITY HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CIRCUMSPECT. WE ENDORSED SOMETHING LIKE THIS, MR MCMILLAN, THANK YOU FOR DOING PRESENTATION BECAUSE I AM ABOUT SAVING PEOPLE. MONEY AND OPPORTUNISM HAVE TO COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE MAYOR. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I THINK IT SHOULD BE DOING PERIOD. MEXICO WELL. NOT TO COMPARE EXACTLY BUT MANY YEARS AGO. WE GOT INVOLVED WITH A GROUP THAT WAS DOING? UH, SEWER WEREN'T USED, SHOWED UP ON THE LADDER. YEAH, WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG. WE WERE CONSIDERED TO BE A PARTNER OF THE CITIZENS BROUGHT US INTO THE ISSUE, SO IT IS. OH PROCEED WITH CAUTION BECAUSE BECAUSE OF THAT THE NATURE OF THE PEOPLE CAN SEE YOUR NAME ON THERE. THEY'RE GONNA SAY WELL, I'M NOT GETTING SATISFACTION FROM THE COMPANY. SO WE'RE COMING TO THE CITY TO GET SATISFACTION. THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM. EVEN IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT ALL THE OTHERS IN THIS BUSINESS AND PUT OUR NAME ON. IT STILL PUTS US IN A POSITION OF POTENTIAL VIABILITY. I JUST I HAVE DEEP DEEP CONCERN OVER YOU THINK ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING. MR LIU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. UM, WE ARE RUNNING 10 MINUTES BEFORE WE HAVE TO GET OUT THERE LOOKING AT PROCEDURES FOR OUR NUMBER B. UM MY SUGGESTION IS THAT WE TABLED THIS ONCE AGAIN FROM MY INFORMATION. THERE APPEARS TO BE ONLY ONE JUDICIAL COUNCIL CHOSE TO GIVE ANY INPUT ON CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PROCEDURE. YOU'VE JUST BEEN PROVIDED THOSE LAKE TODAY. I DON'T THINK YOU'VE HAD AMPLE TIME TO REVIEW THOSE CONSIDER THOSE SO MY SUGGESTION. UNFORTUNATELY WE TABLE THIS ONCE AGAIN SET ANOTHER SUSPENSE.

STATE COUNCIL BRING THIS UP ONCE AGAIN. THE DISCUSSION. ANY MARYLAND THE SAME LIFE REALLY

[00:50:01]

GOOD SCHOOL TOWARDS THE COUNCIL. YEAH SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME AND YOU KNOW TO LOOK OVER WHAT BUT I SUBMITTED IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE WHAT I SUBMITTED UP SO LATE TODAY, IF MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT LATER TODAY, VERY SUB SUBSTANTIVE INFORMATION PROVIDED SOME INFORMATION, SO I TEND TO AGREE WITH MR MCBURNETT PROCEDURE SO DIFFICULT. LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY. TAKE A LOOK. BUT IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED. AND MAYBE WE CAN DISCUSS THIS NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR THIS ALL THE WAY UNTIL JUNE. OR IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS THING AND THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL YOUR CALL. WE HAVE POSSIBLE FOR TREAT THAT WAS DISCUSSED. UH MAYBE WE CAN PUT IT TO HIM. NOT UNTIL JUNE. EITHER WAY. I'M OKAY WITH TABLES. BECAUSE I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT WHAT YOU SUGGESTED. YEAH THAT'S MY BODY.

YEAH. MM UPDATE ON ISLAND C UPDATE ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 AUDITS, MR JACKSON. THANK YOU, SIR. MR MAYOR REMEMBERS OF COUNCIL GOOD EVENING. RICHARD JACKSON. UH I WILL DEFINITELY BE RESPECTFUL AT THE TIME. UPCOMING MEETING IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES OF FIRST OF ALL, I'M COVERING YOU WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE, AND IT'S NOT TO COVER UP ANY TEARS. WE ARE CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD. WITH RESPECT TO THE ART, UM JUST YESTERDAY, WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED OUR FIRST DRAFT COPY OF ACTUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM OUR ORDINARY FIRM, MCCONNELL JONES. SO WE NOW TANGIBLY HAVE. SOMETHING INTERNALLY FOR OUR AH, ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION WITH THEM. WE NOW HAVE SOMETHING TANGIBLE TO GO ALONG WITH ALL OF THE WORLD DISCUSSION. SO AGAIN, I'M PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO REPORT THAT WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IN TERMS OF THINGS THAT THE AUDITING FIRM IS AWAITING FROM THE CITY. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS OUTSTANDING. NOW IS ALL IN THE PROCESS OF THE STATEMENTS. AND UH, THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS THAT FLOW FROM THE STATEMENTS AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, OUR MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. DID I HAD MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY IN REPORTING TO THIS BODY ARE FOOTNOTES THAT GO WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE STATISTICAL SECTION TWO GOALS WITH THOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

THOSE HAVE ALREADY UH, THOSE PROCESSES HAVE ALREADY BEGUN BY OUR INTERNAL FINANCE TEAM. UM AND SO SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS WE WERE WAITING FOR IT AT LEAST TO GET STATEMENTS IN DRAFT FORM. WE NOW HAVE SO WHILE MCCONNELL JONES IS WORKING ON THEIR IN IN TERMS OF FINAL INJURIES, DIFFERENT FINAL THINGS THAT THEY'RE TAKING A LOOK AT THAT WILL AFFECT THE BOTTOM LINE TO THE FUND BALANCES FOR RESPECT TO THOSE STATEMENTS. WE ARE WORKING PARALLEL, SO THERE IS NO OTHER OUTSTANDING ITEMS IN RELATION TO THE TESTING. THAT THE AUDIT FIRMS IS DOING ONLY IN RELATION TO FINALIZATION OF THOSE STATEMENTS AND AGAIN. THOSE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. UM AND SO, UH, SOME OF THE ENTRIES THAT THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE TOUCHING BASE ON AGAIN, ACTUALLY TOMORROW , SO WE HAVE KEPT WITH OUR WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH MCCONNELL JONES. AND AGAIN. I KNOW THERE'S CERTAIN THERE ARE SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS IN THE ROOM WHO PARTICIPATED, UH, IN THOSE WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS, AND SO, UM WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TRANSPARENT BOTH TO THE CITY MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS ARE THE COMMITTEE REPRESENTATION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, UM AGAIN, I THINK THERE ARE THEY ARE AS INVESTED AS WE ARE TOWARDS REACHING THAT FINISH LINE AND SO WE ARE CLOSER TO THE FINISH LINE, UH, WITH EACH PASSING PASSING DAY, REALLY ? AND SO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED DRAFT AND NATIONAL STATEMENTS. I THINK IT'S AN INDICATION OF THAT PROGRESS, AND SO, UM, AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO BE LEANING ON THEM TO GET A HARDLINE DATES. AH! OR WHEN THE AUDIT IS GOING TO BE COMPLETE. A LOT OF IT WAS GOING TO BE TIED INTO THOSE DRAFT STATEMENTS. AND SO NOW THAT WE'VE RECEIVED THAT I KNOW NOW WE'RE IN THE FINAL

[00:55:01]

STAGES, SO I'M HOPING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET AT LEAST A FIRM TARGET DATE FROM THEM.

RECOGNIZING THAT THEY STILL HAVE SOME THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO COMPLETE AS PART OF THEIR DUE DILIGENCE OF THE AUDIT PROCESS. SO WITH THAT, UH, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE DEFINITELY ENTERTAIN THEM AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU, MR JACKSON. FOR BRIGHT LIGHT. YES, SIR. EXPLAIN IF YOU WOULD VERY OUTSET. I THINK I HEARD YOU SAID DRAFT COURT. THEN YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DRAFT STATEMENTS. SO IS THE FOR THIS NOT AS INVOLVED IN THIS KIND OF STUFF. MHM. THE DRAFT REPORT CONTAINED DRAFT STATEMENTS OR ALL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR DRAFT STATEMENTS OR HAVE YOU RECEIVED A DRAFT REPORT AND DRAFT STATEMENTS? GREAT QUESTION. SO IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL REPORT, MR MAYOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF WHAT THE FULL REPORT. WILL BE ONE IS THE DNA, WHICH IS THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. THAT IS WORKED ON BY THE CITY. SO IN THE IN THIS CASE, OUR FINANCE TEAM A LOT OF THE NUMBERS THAT GO INTO WHAT IS PRESENTED. IN THAT SECTION OF THE REPORT COME FROM THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, SO THEY RECOGNIZED THAT WE COULD NOT SUBMIT A DRAFT. OF THAT TO THEM TO BE COMPILED INTO THE REPORT UNTIL WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMBERS, AND ALL YOU HAVE IS DRESSED DRAFT STATEMENTS AND SO THE OTHER COMPONENTS IN TERMS OF DIRTY THEY HAVEN'T SAID ANY MATERIAL FINDINGS HAVE NOT, AND SO THAT THAT WILL COME UP AS PART OF THE EXIT OF THE EXIT MEETING WANTS TO REPORT IS COMPLETE. AND SO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CERTAINLY ARE LARGE PORTION OF THE OVERALL FINANCIAL REPORT THAT THAT WILL BE DONE AFTER HIM. AND SO THAT WAS REALLY A BIG CAVEAT THAT WE WERE WAITING ON THIS SAYING, OKAY, WE CAN'T COMPLETE CERTAIN AREAS OF THE FOOTNOTES BECAUSE THEY'RE REFERENCING. NUMBERS AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YET, SO NOW WE HAVE AND SO WILL BE WORKING PARALLEL AT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY'RE FINALIZED ME THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO GO FROM DRAFT STATEMENTS TO FINAL STATEMENTS ON THE CITY SIDE WE WILL BE WORKING ON THE FOOTNOTES STATISTICAL SECTION. AND THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS TO ALL BE COMBINED INTO THE PRESENTATION OF THE REPORT. THAT MAKES SENSE. REMEMBER THAT COMMENTS. JUST THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB RIGHT NOW. AND IT'S IT IS COMING TOGETHER, AND JUST I MEAN, YOU'RE MEETING WEEKLY.

WEAPONS AS WELL GOING TO SEE ME, ANDREWS AND ALL. IT'S COMING TOGETHER. VERY GOOD. GLAD TO HEAR THAT. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY.

[1.A. Mayor's Report.]

WILL MAKE YOU SOME INFORMATION ON THAT. SO THE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS A REPORT AND FOR THE MAYOR'S REPORT, THERE'S TWO THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO COVER FOR THE MAYOR'S REPORT. I SIT ON THE DALLAS REGIONAL MOBILITY COALITION. THIS IS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS REPRESENTING BOTH THE 16 STATE OR 16 COUNTIES IN THE NORTH TEXAS REGION. TECH STARTERS ON IT THE NORTH TTMT TO IS ON THIS BOARD. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING AS A BOARD AS A COALITION BOARD IS ELECTRONIC VEHICLES ARE ELECTRIC VEHICLES. WE'RE LOOKING AT CHARGING STATIONS. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE VIABILITY. THE FEASIBILITY THE PROBLEMS WITH FIRE. IN FACT, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE EXAMINING STATEMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW TO DETERMINE HOW THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE COPED WITH. ONE OF THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND OUT THE WINDOW AND AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE HAS A LITHIUM ION BATTERY FIRE RIGHT NOW, THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION BEING RECOMMENDED ACROSS ALL SPECTRUMS OF CONTROL. LET IT BURN ITSELF OUT. THERE IS NO WAY TO EXTINGUISH A LITHIUM ION BATTERY FIRE THAT WE KNOW OF AT THIS TIME BEFORE SITES, PUTTING 10,000 TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WATER ON IT TO COOL IT DOWN. SO WE'RE EXAMINING THAT AT THE DEPARTMENT. IT IS A CITY IN ADDITION TO WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE RMC. SECOND ITEM THAT I'M INVOLVED IN IS THE NORTH STATE OF TEXAS CONSTABLE, GOVERNMENTS, REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL AND PART OF THAT I'M ON THE COMMITTEE FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS. THAT'S A FANCY NAME FOR DRONES. AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THE DELIVERY SYSTEMS. THERE IS A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN SIGNED ON WITH THE COG IN THE RTC THAT IS DELIVERING PACKAGES FROM WALMART. IN FRISCO AND LEWISVILLE. I TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SAY WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH US IN SOUTH SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY? SO THERE'S I HAVE AN INITIATIVE WORKING RIGHT NOW WITH CALLED WING SYSTEMS AND AIR SYSTEMS OR AIRLINK SYSTEMS ARE LOOKING AT WHY WE'RE GONNA NOT BEING INCLUDED IN SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY FOR DELIVERY SYSTEMS BY DRONES. JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT WE HAVE THAT ONGOING DISCUSSIONS

UM THEY HAD A MEETING LAST MONTH, AND I WON'T GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT WHAT ALL THEY HAVE PLANNED. I WILL SAY THAT THEY HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO. UM I SUPPORT THE ARTS COMMISSION, NOT ONLY BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE THE ARTS, BUT I FEEL IT IS A WAY THAT THEY UTILIZED TO BRING OUR CULTURES, ALL BACKGROUNDS, ALL PEOPLE TOGETHER HERE IN OUR CITY, AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL WORKING TOWARDS.

SHE DID SOME RESEARCH INTO THE CODE, AND SHE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH AH, A COUPLE OF OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THE CODE OF ENFORCEMENT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT. AND THAT ALL KIND OF RESOLVED AND I THINK IT WORKED OUT WELL FOR HER THAT SHE LEARNED SOME THINGS, AND I BELIEVE EVEN MAYBE THE OFFICER OFFICER LEARNED SOME THINGS AS WELL. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT AH, CITIZENS EXPERIENCE OFTEN. WE'RE I MEAN, NOBODY LIKES TO GET NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND YOU KNOW, WE LOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES OFFICER AND CODE ENFORCEMENT. WHEN THEY'RE ENFORCING THE PROPERTIES AROUND US, RIGHT BUT NOT NECESSARILY ON OUR PROPERTY. BUT I DO WANT TO THANK THOSE CITIZENS WHO DO REACH OUT.

WITH OUR NEW CITY MANAGER THAT I BELIEVE WILL SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE AS WELL. AND THEN JUST REAL QUICK. LAST TUESDAY, WE HAD MEETING OF THERE'S A GROUP OF CITIZENS. AND WE'RE ORGANIZING A CITYWIDE ANTI LITTER CAMPAIGN. AND SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING BEYOND DOING CLEANUPS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE THE CULTURE AND THE MINDSET OF THE CITY.

UM IF THE COUNCIL SO CHOOSES AS A CONDITION OF THE INCENTIVES BEING AWARDED AFTER RECEIVING A BONAFIDE LEAST FOR A REGIONAL RESTAURANT. UH, OCCUPANT. 17 3 MAIN RELATIVE BEFORE YOU. IT'S IN YOUR PACKET OR THE BIDS. ONE WAS TL R FOR 810,000. SARAH DEVELOPMENT FOR 878,004 AND $18 M, A DESIGNED FOR $845,257. NOW. THOSE, UM.

THOSE BIDS ARE BASICALLY A REQUIREMENT BY POLICY AT THE D. C. D. C. THE APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE TO USE THOSE BIDS. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO USE THOSE CONTRACTORS. THAT'S MERELY FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES TO VERIFY THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WILL BE NEEDED AT THE SITE. THE APPLICANT AS PART OF OUR POLICY CAN USE ANY CONTRACTOR THEY WANT . AT THE END OF THE DAY. THEY HAVE TO VERIFY THAT THE MONEY WAS SPENT AND PAID OUT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THOSE BIDS ARE AND GO HIGHER OR LOWER AS LONG AS WE CAN VERIFY THE MONEY WAS SPENT. CANCELED CHECKS OR SOME SORT OF VERIFICATION, AND THEY WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE INCENTIVE ALONG WITH ANYTHING. ANY STIPULATIONS YOU REQUIRE. OF THE AGREEMENT. BEFORE HE WAS ALSO THE IMPACT EVALUATION, SO THAT CURRENTLY THE DECAF APPRAISED VALUE IS 304,000. THE PROPOSED INVESTMENT IS 844,000. THE APPLICANT HAS ALREADY INVESTED APPROXIMATELY 455,007 19 $85, WHICH IS ALSO IN YOUR PACKET HAS EXHIBIT A PHASE ONE. UM I'LL MAKE SURE I HAVE THAT RIGHT. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEY'RE PROPOSING ADDITIONAL 507,000 AND ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS AS YOU SEE GENERAL CONDITIONS, CITY AND PERMIT FEES DESIGN. TWICE PANS, PLANS ON COURT FEES. LANDSCAPING STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM, DIRT

[02:00:02]

WORK, CONCRETE PAVING LIGHTS, POLES AND ELECTRICAL DUMPSTER BLOCK WALL GATE PIPES, PARKING LOT STRIPING IN POWER, WASH PLUMBING AND, OF COURSE, SUPERVISION ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT FEES. THE BOARD MET. THEY LOOKED AT SOME OF THE EXPENSES AND THEY CHOSE TO, UH, PUT SOME CONDITIONS ON THE RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE AWARDING INCENTIVES FOR WAS LANDSCAPING. APPROXIMATELY $15,000 STORM DRAIN SYSTEM APPROXIMATELY $37,000 CONCRETE PAVING IN THE AMOUNT OF 100 28,000. AND DUMPSTER BLOCK WALL GATES AND PIPES FOR APPROXIMATELY 29,000 AND THAT EQUATES TO $209,500 ON EXHIBIT A WHERE IT SAYS HE BUT INC BY ALI ABBASI. AH AS YOU CAN LOOK BASED ON THE D CAD APPRAISED VALUE. THE PROPOSED INVESTMENTS APPROXIMATELY $844,852. THE ESTIMATED PROPERTY TAX BASED ON THAT NEW VALUATION IS APPROXIMATELY $7425.59, BASED ON THE CITY OF DUNCAN'S CURRENT TAX RATE. WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT THE EARLY SALES AND BASED ON THE APPLICATION THAT THE INCREASE WOULD BE ON AVERAGE OF $200 AND SALES PER SQUARE FOOT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE APPLICATION IN YOUR PACKET, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE APPLICANT IS ESTIMATING THAT THERE'LL BE APPROXIMATELY 840,000 IN INCREASED REVENUE AND SALES $937,500 A YEAR TO 1,068,007 $50 IN YEAR THREE, WE TOOK THE LOWER AMOUNT OF 846.

$1000 THAT'S BASED LIKE I SAID ON $200 SQUARE FOOT. THE PREVAILING AVERAGE IN DFW BASED ON CO STAR, WHICH IS SOFTWARE THAT WE USE TO DETERMINE THOSE TYPES OF SALES NUMBERS IS $240 A SQUARE FOOT. SO WE'RE USING AN ESTIMATE OF $200 SQUARE FOOT, WHICH IS WE FEEL CONSERVATIVE NUMBER. SO IT'S TOTAL CITY SALES TAX REVENUE THAT WILL BE GENERATED ADDITION TO WHAT WE'RE ALREADY GETTING. APPROXIMATELY 16,920 IF YOU COMBINE THAT WITH THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAX, WE WOULD GET WHAT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY. GIVE YOU I WROTE THAT NUMBER DOWN TO GIVE ME A SECOND. IT WAS ABOUT $5400 IN ADDITIONAL TAXES THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING ON TOP. OF WHAT WE'RE ALREADY RECEIVING. WHICH IS QUITE SO ABOUT 22,000. AND CHANGE PER YEAR, WHICH IS ABOUT 9.6. YEAR RETURN ON INVESTMENT ON $209 IF THAT AMOUNT WAS AWARDED, ALONG WITH ANY STIPULATIONS, YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE SECURING AH RESTAURANT TENANT FOR THE SITE. WHICH I WOULD RECOMMEND. UH, THAT YOU DID. THANK YOU. TURN IT OVER TO MR KOONTZ. MR CONCEPT WAS YOUR REQUEST TO PUT THIS ON INDIVIDUAL CONSENT. SO I TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO YOU, SIR.

THANK THANK YOU, MARY. SO I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE ABOUT FIVE OR SIX DIFFERENT QUESTIONS. I THINK YOU ANSWERED PRETTY MUCH, ALL OF THEM. I KNOW THAT THERE'S MULTIPLE GRANTS HERE, RIGHT? AND I KNOW FOR EACH GRANT OR REQUIREMENTS. PHOTOS AND SCHEMATICS AND DESIGNS FOR EACH EACH GRANT. RIGHT. THANK YOU. COVERED MOST OF THAT. YEP THERE IT IS. AND THEN COULD YOU. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BUSINESS RETENTION GRANT AND WHAT THAT IS, AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT. SO THEY'RE I THINK THEY'RE , UH, ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 10 EMPLOYEES, SO BUSINESS RETENTION GRANT IS TYPICALLY SOMETHING WE USE TO TALK TO BUSINESSES. UH, TO EXPAND AND SO BRND IS WHAT IT'S CALLED INDUSTRY AND STANDS FOR BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION. AND SO IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, THE TENANT IS EXPANDING THEIR BUSINESS AND ADDING THAT RESTAURANT SITE THAT YOU SEE AND HAVING PAVING SO THAT THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT RESTAURANT. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ASKING AND RECOMMENDING. I SHOULD SAY. THAT THE RESTAURANT OCCUPANT, UH WE RE REQUIREMENT OF THE RESOLUTION , WHICH I BELIEVE AND I WON'T SPEAK FOR MR HAGAR, I BELIEVE CAN BE ADDED THIS AT THIS POINT.

UM THAT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE BUILDING GET EXPANDED, IT WOULD ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A NEW RESTAURANT ADJACENT TO THE FIELD HOUSE. UM IT WOULD ALSO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ADDITIONAL 10 EMPLOYEES, SO NOT ONLY ARE YOU EXPANDING THE BUSINESS? THAT WOULD BE AN HONOR BRND PROGRAM, BUT YOU'RE AT EMPLOYEES, WHICH IS JOBS THE COMMUNITY, ALTHOUGH ALBEIT THEY'RE NOT. HIGH PAYING JOBS ARE STILL JOBS THAT ARE NEEDED. AND SO IT DOES EXPAND THAT AND UNDER THE PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS SAYS TO QUALIFY FOR THE BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION GRANT. QUALIFY THE BUSINESS MUST PROVE THROUGH A BONAFIDE INCENTIVE OFFER PENDING LEASE AGREEMENT. BUT THEY ARE SEEKING RELOCATION OR EXPANSION OUTSIDE OF DUNCANVILLE, SO AND A NOTARIZED THAT TO SAY AT THE STATION MAY SUBSTITUTE THE LEASE OR INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS OR HAS THAT BEEN PROVIDED SO THIS IS ACTUALLY AN EXPANSION GRANT. THIS WOULDN'T BE A BUSINESS RETENTION GRANT. SO UNDER THAT, UNDER THAT AH, LANGUAGE THAT WOULD BE IF THEY'RE LEAVING IN THIS CASE THEY WOULDN'T BE LEAVING WOULD BE ADDING, SO THIS WOULD BE AN EXPANSION GRANT AS PART OF THAT. AND WE'RE NOT

[02:05:03]

OFFERING ACTUALLY AN EXPANSION GRANT. THIS IS MORE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S ATTACHED TO THIS. THIS EXPANSION. IT IS CHECKED OFF HERE FOR 12,000 FOR RETENTION AND EXPANSION. RETIREMENT ON THE APPLICATION. YES, SIR. YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY JUST SOMETHING THAT WE GET THE APPLICATION AND WE SUBMITTED AS TO YOU AS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT, SO THEY PROBABLY JUST PUT THAT ON THERE THINKING THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING. AND THEN JUST SOMETHING. I GUESS YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN THIS. I'M LOOKING AT THE RENDERING SERIOUS SO BECAUSE AND, UH, APPLICATION. THE BUSINESS DESCRIPTION WAS GAS STATION. AND THEN IT SAID THAT THEY WERE ADDING JOBS CREATED RESTAURANT MANAGERS, KITCHEN STAFF SO IT'S NOT A RESTAURANT THERE NOW, AND THEY'RE GUARANTEEING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO ADD A RESTAURANT LATER ON.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO THEY'RE ADDING A RESTAURANT? YES. BUT THERE'S NOT A RESTAURANT THERE NOW. BUT WE HAVE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OR SAY OVER WHAT WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO WITH THAT, RIGHT? UH YOU COULD ACTUALLY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, AND I'LL DEFER TO MR HOW ARE YOU COULD PUT IN TYPES OF REGIONAL CHAIN NATIONAL CHAIN. SORRY YEAH, NOT NOT AS FAR AS WHAT ACTUALLY GOES IN THERE. BUT AS FAR AS I MEAN, THEY DON'T END UP END UP PUTTING A RESTAURANT IF THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE GRANT, SUBJECT TO A CONDITION PRECEDING TO ADD THE EXPANSION, THE RESTAURANT AND THAT'S HOW THE GRANT WILL BE WRITTEN. CORRECT. SO AND IT'S REIMBURSEMENT GRANT. SO THEY HAVE TO PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY CAN I'M SORRY. AH, UM THEY HAVE TO PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY COMPLIED WITH THE GRANT TERMS, AND IF THE GRANT TERMS THEY HAVE TO ADD X NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET OF RESTAURANT THEY DON'T THINK AND GET THE MONEY. YOU'RE NOT ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT. THANK YOU. AH, MR CONTRERAS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. DO WE KNOW WHAT THE D C D C VOTE WAS ON THIS ISSUE. UM YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GONNA ASK MISS CARTER, OUR NEWEST ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MINISTER REITER DO YOU RECALL WHAT THE WHAT THE VOTE WAS. MR GARCIA, WOULD YOU REPEAT FOR THE RECORD SAID IT WAS A UNANIMOUS DECISION, AND THE BOARD HAD RECOMMENDED A BONAFIDE LEASE FOR THE RESTAURANT EXPANSION. OKAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. GO AHEAD. VIA CARTER. SO THE DUNCANVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE INCENTIVE GRANT WITH THE PROVISION IF APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL THAT A BONA FIDE LEASE FOR A REGIONAL RESTAURANTS, UM GO INTO SPACE. MR CONTRERAS? UM, LAST QUESTION, UM. YOU KNOW, WE SEE WHAT THE BREAKDOWN IS WHAT WE'RE WHAT THE D C D GETS C HAS DECIDED TO GIVE TOWARDS THIS PROJECT, AND WE SEE WHAT THE BIDS ARE FOR THIS PROJECT. WHAT ARE THE GUARANTEES AS THIS GOES ALONG? THAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT REMAINING. THE OWNER, CHERYL, CALL IT IS ACTUALLY PUT TO WORK OUT THERE. BECAUSE THEY'RE ASKING US FOR A PORTION OF THIS OVERALL COST MINIMUM BID $810,000 HOW DO WE GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL SPEND THEIR SHARE? IN THE IMPROVEMENTS OUT THERE. SO CURRENTLY YOU DON'T HAVE A GUARANTEE THE ONLY THING THAT THE INCENTIVE WOULD REQUIRE DEPENDING ON WHAT THIS THIS COUNCIL STIPULATES, UM WOULD BE THAT THE RESTAURANT IS OBVIOUSLY EXECUTED TO A BONAFIDE LEASE. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU SO CHOOSE. AND OF COURSE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF IMPROVEMENTS WAS PERFORMED AND THROUGH CANCELED CHECKS OR SOME SORT OF PROOF, HOWEVER. I BELIEVE YOU COULD MAKE A REQUIREMENT AS ADDITIONAL STIPULATION THAT THE AMOUNT THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED IS ACTUALLY SPENT, AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE PROOF OF THAT EXPENDITURE. WHICH I THINK THAT WAS IN AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

THANK YOU. BEST, MISS GOODEN. THANK YOU, MAYOR, UM, ALONG THE LINES OF OUR START WITH COUNCIL MEMBER. CONTRARY COUNCIL MEMBER COONS AND THE COMMENT ABOUT THE RESTAURANT AND REQUIRING THAT IT BE REGIONAL. UM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A REGIONAL RESTAURANT IF THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WOULD AGREE, UM INCLUDED IN THIS BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE FIELD HOUSE. WE HAVE CHICK FIL A OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE. THEN WE HAVE, UM POPPER BROTHERS, SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MORE REPUTABLE

[02:10:04]

REGIONAL RESTAURANT OPTION IN THERE. I WON'T SPECIFY WHICH ONE BUT IF WE COULD HAVE WON IF THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WOULD AGREE WITH THAT, IN ORDER FOR THIS TO GO FORWARD ALSO, UM I SUPPORT PROVIDING EXPENDITURES, SO THAT WAY WE CAN VERIFY AND BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WITH THE AMOUNT THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING, AND THAT WAS APPROVED BY, UM THE BOARD. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

QUESTION IS GOING BACK TO THIS. MM. BETTER REGIONAL RESTAURANT. DO WE REALLY WANT TO? POSSIBLY LIMIT THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACTOR THIS INDIVIDUAL TO REGIONAL IF THEY COULD POSSIBLY PROVIDE NATIONAL. LET'S START AT REGIONAL AND THEN EXPAND TO NATIONAL IF AVAILABLE WITHIN THE WORDING. IF WE HAVE HOW WE APPROVE, THIS HAS TO BE CAREFULLY WORDED. JUST SAY THAT HE WOULD IMMEDIATELY START AS REGIONAL BUT WOULD NOT PRECLUDE NATIONAL. I MEAN, WHY WOULD SHOULD WE PUT THE SHACKLES ON THIS PERSON TO SAY MAYBE THEY WANT TO GO TO JACK IN THE BOX RIGHT AWAY. SO IT'S JUST I'M SAYING, ARE WE. ARE WE HAMPERING THE INITIATIVE OF THIS INDIVIDUAL TO START OUT, SAYING YOU HAVE TO DO A REGIONAL VERSUS JUST SAYING A REGIONAL AND OR NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDED RESTAURANT? MAYBE THAT'S THE LANGUAGE TO GIVE THAT INDIVIDUAL THE FLEXIBILITY AND LIBERTY TO CONTRACT WITH SOMEBODY WHO WERE VERY WELL KNOWN. I THINK THAT'S THE KEY THAT'S ACROSS FROM THE FIELD HOUSE AND IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT. JERRY'S IN THERE, YOU KNOW. THAT INJURES, I NEVER MIND. I SCREAM. I PICKED ME, YOU KNOW, LIKE BOBBY'S BOBBY'S BURGERS. I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING THE SENSE OF IT IS AND I THINK IT'S CORRECT. WE WANT SOMETHING IN REGIONAL AND OR NATIONALS TO SAY THOSE TERMS RATHER THAN PRECLUDING HIM FROM GOING NATIONAL, MAYBE FIRST. SO YOU KNOW, I'M PROPOSING THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE TO YOU OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT. MR CONTRERAS. OKAY ON MY POINT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR THAT IF WE CAN. UM STIPULATE THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT PROVIDING, UM RECEIPTS ONLY.

FROM THEIR VENDORS TO COVER THEIR SHARE OF THE $810,000. BUT IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THEY ACTUALLY. SPEND INVEST THAT MUCH INTO THE IMPROVEMENTS. OUT OF THEIR OWN CHAIR. AND THE QUESTION WOULD BE TO THE ATTORNEY. UM AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DO THAT WHERE WE STIPULATE THAT BY SOME PENALTY, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WE STIPULATE THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY. BECAUSE IF THEY'RE GETTING A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE FROM US OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND, AND THEY TURN AROUND, AND I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THESE PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FOLKS THAT OWN IT. I KNEW THE PREVIOUS OWNER, BUT I DON'T KNOW THESE FOLKS. BUT THE SAFEGUARD IS THAT THEY MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THESE DRAWINGS. AND HERE WE GO. PUT SOME PLANTS IN AND DO SOME SIGNS AND A FEW OTHER THINGS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT THE END OF THE PROJECT UM, THAT'S NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT ON OUR PART. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE POINTED DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT'S REIMBURSABLE. WE STILL WANT IT DONE. BUT THEY'RE COMMITTING TO BRINGING IN A RESTAURANT. BY GOLLY, YOU'RE GOING TO DO A RESTAURANT AND YESTERDAY'S REIMBURSABLE. SO MR CONTRERAS IS TRYING TO SURMISE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO. AND WE UNDERSTAND IT'S REIMBURSABLE, BUT YOU CAN'T ALL OF A SUDDEN, A YEAR AND A HALF FROM NOW SAYING, OH, I DON'T WANT TO DO A RESTAURANT. WELL WE ARE COMMITTING TO AND APPROVING THIS. THIS THIS GRANT AND HOW IT'S BEEN STIPULATED IS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO A RESTAURANT. TO BE CLEAR. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE RESTAURANT. IT'S THE OVERALL PROJECT TOTAL EXECUTION OF WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH. MR CITY ATTORNEY. YOU FOLLOW WHERE WE'RE GOING ON THIS, I THINK, OKAY. SO IN ORDER TO IS THERE ANOTHER SLIDE, MR GARCIA? THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT. SO, UM. WHAT WOULD BE LOOKING AT IS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

AS IT'S BEEN PROVIDED TO US WITH ADDITIONAL WORDING. TO SAY THAT THE RESTAURANT WOULD BE A REGIONAL AND OR NATIONAL BRAND. AND THAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY DOES COMMIT INTENTIONALLY. TO EXECUTE THE OVERALL PLAN THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED TO OUR COUNCIL. THAT LANGUAGE. OKAY WITH Y'ALL. SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. MR CITY ATTORNEY THE OVERALL PLAN.

THE OVERALL PLAN GOES BACK TO WHAT'S BEEN DESCRIBED IN TERMS OF THOSE CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS. WE

[02:15:07]

HAVE A DETAIL. WE EXCUSE ME IF I MAY. YES, PLEASE. WE DO HAVE A ITEMIZED LIST OF ALL THE EXPENDITURES THEY INTEND TO SPEND WHAT THEY HAVE SPENT. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SCHEMATIC ON WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. WE ACTUALLY DO. WE HAVE THEM IN OUR OFFICE. WE AREN'T HERE ON THIS PRESENTATION TODAY. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK IS JUST TO DEFINE REGIONAL. TYPICALLY REGIONAL IS MULTIPLE LOCATIONS IN A AREA OR ZONE THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS. TYPICALLY, WHAT REGIONAL WOULD BE IT CAN BE IN THE DFW METROPLEX WITH TWO COUNTIES DALLAS COUNTY AND ANY OF ITS CONTINUOUS COUNTIES. RESTAURANT THAT SERVES DALLAS COUNTY IN ANY CONTINUOUS COUNTY. UM, TERRENCE COUNTY. COLLIN COUNTY, DENTON COUNTY, ELLIS COUNTY, JOHNSON COUNTY AND KAUFMAN COUNTY.

THAT'S CONFUSING TO ME. UH I THOUGHT WE HAD EASIER LANGUAGE YOU LIVE IN DALLAS COUNTY.

CONTINUOUS MEANS TOUCHES. SO I JUST TOLD YOU WHICH ONES THEY WERE. DALLAS. HOW? HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE IT? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEFINE IT. WHICH IS A PROBLEM WE GET INTO AND WE DO STUFF UP HERE ON THE DIET, SOMEONE SAYS REGIONAL. EVERYONE SAYS OKAY, AND THEN I GET BACK TO MY OFFICE AND I SAY THEN WHAT'S REGIONAL DALLAS COUNTY AND ITS CONTINUOUS COUNTIES AND THEY GET MY BUTT DOWN HERE NOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE. NOW I'M FOLLOWING DO YOU JUST DEFINE WHAT A REGION IS VERSUS US, SAYING REGIONAL AND OR NATIONAL SO IT REALLY GETS COMPLICATED BY SAYING THE CITY ATTORNEY NOW HAS TO IDENTIFY WHAT CONTIGUOUS MEANS. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST DID VERBAL. I'M SAYING I DON'T I WANT YOU TO DO WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO DO, BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT THE SEVEN OF YOU WANT, SO I WRITE IT CORRECTLY. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. WORKS FOR ME. I GOT THREE LIGHTS LIT UP HERE. HOW ABOUT MR BEAR CRUISE? THANK YOU, MAYOR. I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF THE REGIONAL. NATIONALS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THEY REQUIRE. WE DON'T KNOW ALL THAT STUFF. THAT'S NOT SO. I THINK WE'RE HAMSTRING IN THE APPLICANT . IF WE DO THAT BIG IS THE RESTAURANT GONNA BE? THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I'VE WRITTEN DOWN. BECAUSE I HAVE QUESTIONS, TOO. YOU KNOW, MR GARCIA? IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE SCHEMATIC THAT SHOWS HOW MANY SQUARE FOOT HE'S ALLOCATED FOR THE RESTAURANT? I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU AN INCORRECT ANSWER. I DON'T RECALL FROM MY MEMORY. LET ME SEE IF I CAN. I DON'T RECALL THIS TIME WITH THE EXACT SQUARE FOOTAGE WAS, I DO KNOW OBVIOUSLY, THE 4200 SQUARE FEET WAS TOTAL. I DON'T WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD WITHOUT BEING PERCENT. SURE UNDERSTOOD. YEAH SO MY LAST POINT IS THAT SAY IT. JACK IN THE BOX. THEY REQUIRE SO MANY SQUARE FEET, SO DOES AND IF THEY DON'T MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS WILL NEVER GET ANYONE IN THERE. SO WE'RE BUT IF THE IF THE IF THE INDIVIDUAL ASKING FOR THIS MONEY HAS COMMITTED TO BRING IN A RESTAURANT. AND WE STIPULATE AS A COUNCIL THAT WOULD BE REGIONAL AND OR NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDED RESTAURANT. THEN THAT INDIVIDUAL IS GOING TO HAVE THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND SEEK ONE OF THOSE BRANDS. THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH IT, OR WHATEVER THAT BRAND IS. THAT'S OUT OF OUR PURVIEW. BUT I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. IF I IF I'M A MARE, THE APPLICANT HAS COMMUNICATED. THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THE REGIONAL REQUIREMENT. WE DIDN'T DISCUSS NATIONAL UM, DURING THOSE CONVERSATIONS REGIONAL WOULD MEAN TO MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DFW, AND IT COULD BE TEXAS AS WELL BUT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT BASICALLY TAXES, SO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS GOING TO BE WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE WHATEVER BRAND HE HAS AN AGREEMENT WITH YOU COULD WRITE THE 4200 SQUARE FOOT. SO IF THE CURRENT GAS STATION IS WHATEVER IT IS, THEY'VE COMMITTED TO 4200. OR 230 SQUARE FEET. THAT'S WHAT THE BUILDING WOULD HAVE TO BE A MINIMUM. THE ENTIRE NEW FACILITY WOULD HAVE TO BE THAT BIG. OKAY, MR MCBURNETT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. MR VERA CRUZ, WHERE YOU FINISHED, MR MCBURNETT? I MEAN, THE DISCUSSION IS GOOD. THE THING ALSO, I'M GOING TO SAY ABOUT THIS AREA. IT'S ONE OF OUR GATEWAYS, SO WE REALLY NEED THIS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S APPEALING ON TOP OF IT, TOO. ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW, I'M WATCHING THIS, MR GARCIA, WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING AND THEN I'M I'M ALMOST WONDERING IF WE NEED TO TABLE THIS AS WELL, TOO. SO I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION. SECOND.

WE HAVE A LET ME LET ME JUST ASK YOU QUIT BEFORE WE VOTE ON ON THE TABLE. MR MR MCBURNETT, THE

[02:20:03]

DID YOU JUST GIVE IT A LITTLE IN INFORMATION ON WHAT YOU FEEL IS INADEQUATE FOR OUR INFORMATION RIGHT NOW TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT FURTHER, EVEN JUST TO TALK ABOUT. I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE SCHEMATICS WITH ON ALMOST STUFF. THE ATTORNEY HAS QUESTIONS. UM. I MEAN, WE'VE GOT A THINK WE'VE GOT IT CLOSED. BUT . UH, WE'RE ALREADY IT BE IT BE NICE TO IF THE APPLICANT WAS HERE TO ASK QUESTIONS, OKAY? OKAY. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND. I THINK YOU'RE ON A GOOD TRACK THERE, THEN I TAKE IT AS WELL. SO WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY MR MCBURNETT TABLE. THIS AND THE SECOND, MR KOONTZ, IF I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY SO BEFORE WE VOTE IN UNDERSTANDING, REALLY CITY MANAGER IN TABLING THIS WE'RE GIVING DIRECTION. WITH THIS DISCUSSION TO CITY MANAGER AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO PURSUE THESE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS AND COME BACK TO US WITH THESE ANSWERS. OKAY. PLEASE VOTE. UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED TO THE TABLE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOING ON TO ITEM. OH, CONSIDER A RESOLUTION.

[4.Q. Consider a Resolution authorizing the approval of a professional services contract agreement with Placer.ai for the location tracking data analytics software via professional services procurement.]

I'M SORRY. THAT'S A CUE. CUTE. ADAM Q. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH PLACER DOT AI. FOR THE LOCATION. TRACKING DATA ANALYTICS SOFTWARE BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROCUREMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS YOURS AGAIN, MR GARCIA. YES THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL, MR CITY MANAGER. PLACE YOUR EYE AS YOU'RE AWARE WE'VE HAD THIS PARTICULAR SOFTWARE. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD YEAR. PLACE YOUR I AS A CONSUMER LOCATION IN FOOT TRAFFIC PROGRAM THAT WILL ENABLE THE ET TEAM TO UNDERSTAND WHERE PEOPLE COME AND GO IN DUNCANVILLE. I THINK WE'VE DONE A PRESENTATION. MAYBE NOT TO THE FULL BOARD. FULL COUNCIL. SORRY. AH UM, BUT BASICALLY, THIS IS THE GEOLOCATION TRACKING RETAIL TRAFFIC. WHEN WE HAVE EVENTS WITHIN THE CITY. WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHERE INDIVIDUALS ARE WHAT THEY'RE VISITING. WE ALSO USE IT AS A PROSPECTING TOOLS. WE SEND IT OUT TO MULTIPLE RESTAURANTS, RETAIL CENTERS. IT IS AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE THAT THEY RECOGNIZE IN OUR INDUSTRY.

SO WHENEVER WE'RE, UH. TALKING TO POTENTIAL RETAIL SITES. WE GIVE THEM INFORMATION. THIS IS ONE OF THE TOOLS WE UTILIZE TO DO THAT. SO AS YOU MAY BE AWARE OF THIS IS VERY VALUABLE SOFTWARE FOR THE DC IT WAS IN OUR BUDGET. IT WAS IDENTIFIED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD, AND HE WAS ALSO APPROVED IN OUR BUDGET. BY THIS COUNCIL AS WELL. SO, UM. PREVIOUS TRANSACTION HISTORY IN FY 2022 $22,400 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE SECOND YEAR AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT INCREASE.

UM AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY IS AH! UNDER THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION, ANYTHING THAT IS IN THE AGGREGATE OF $50,000. IT'S BEING ASKED TO BE BROUGHT TO YOU. SO WE HEARD TODAY BEFORE YOU ASK FOR APPROVAL. JUST A COMMENT THAT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO PLACE A RADAR. I'M AWARE OF OUR USE OF PLACE RAISE. I THINK EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT KNOW IT, WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN THE RESULTS OF PLACE OR A I THAT HAVE BEEN BRIEFED TO THIS COUNCIL BEFORE.

AND AT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TML. I STOPPED IN TO TALK TO FOLKS THAT PLACE RATES A PLACE OR A I UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT THEY DO FOR US AND WHAT THEY DO IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL BUSINESS ITSELF. TO ME, IT'S STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY. WE IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO COMPETE, AS WE DO NOW WITH OTHER CONTIGUOUS CITIES. REGIONAL CITIES. THEN WE CANNOT DO WITHOUT THIS SOFTWARE. IT GIVES OUR FOLKS WITH THEY NEED IN ORDER TO BE COMPETITIVE.

AND WHEN SPEAKING WITH DEVELOPERS TO PRESENT THIS DATA TO SHOW THAT WE ARE WHO WE ARE, AND WE ARE STRONG IN THE DEVELOPMENT ASPECT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT. SO TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO WHO ASKED FOR THIS ONE. IT WAS MR MCBURNETT. YOU ASKED FOR THIS OR MR COOK, WHO MR KOONTZ. MR. COHEN'S YESTERDAY, PLEASE. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE PRESENTATION. SO ONCE AGAIN, I THINK SOME OF THE WELL YOU JUST SHOWED US ANSWERED MOST OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD. I GUESS YOU KNOW MY MIND AND I DO UNDERSTAND RECOGNIZE. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS AND JUST THAT THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE, AND I MEAN THIS THIS KIND OF RAW DATA. HOW THIS CAN TRANSLATE TO ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR THE CITY. I JUST HAD ONE OTHER JUST YOU KNOW, AS WE THINK ABOUT IT, AND PRACTICAL TERMS. SO COULD YOU GIVE US ONE EXAMPLE OF WHERE WE TOOK THE DATA. BETWEEN. HOWEVER WE APPLY THAT DATA AND WE MADE SOME DECISIONS, RIGHT? AND HERE'S THE

[02:25:07]

RESULT ON THIS SIDE OF YOU'RE MAKING USE OF THAT DATA. HERE, UM. SO THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE.

OBVIOUSLY, AS PART OF OUR PROSPECTING EFFORTS. WE HAVE A FEW RETAIL CORRIDORS WITHIN THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, ONE OF THEM BEING COCKLE HILL. COCHRAN HOOD IS ONE OF OUR AH HIGHEST TRAFFICKED AREAS. UM, IT'S WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE GO TO UM. SO I WOULD SAY IN 2020 TO 1 OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ASKED US TO REACH OUT TO A PARTICULAR RESTAURANT. UM WHAT THEY CALL IN THE INDUSTRY QSR QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT. UM WE HAD SENT OUT AN EMAIL AND ATTACHED PLACER AI INFORMATION. UM. AND THEN A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, THIS PARTICULAR RESTAURANT AH MADE A PHONE CALL AND CALLED OUR OFFICE A WEEK AGO AND WE HELD A MEETING WITH THEM. WE'RE CURRENTLY IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THAT PARTICULAR RESTAURANT. UM WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT TO YOU AND THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, BUT THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE JUST OF RECENT MEMORY THAT OCCURRED. ANOTHER UH , WAY THAT WE'VE USED IT AS WHENEVER WE HAVE EVENTS AT THE AT THE PARK. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU USE TIMES WHEN UM, THE TEAM COMES AND TALKS TO YOU ABOUT. WE HAD 4000 VISITORS. WE HAD 8000 VISITORS COME TO LET'S SAY THE FOURTH OF JULY EVENT SOME OF IT IS THROUGH TICKET COUNTS. OTHER REPORTS ARE THROUGH THE PLACER REPORT THAT SHOWS FOOT TRAFFIC AND HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME HERE.

SO WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE NUMBERS THAT A LOT A LOT OF THAT IS COMING FROM PLACE TO RISE SO WE CAN GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION. AND UNDERSTANDING. THINK AT SOME POINT YOU EXPLAINING THAT WE HAVE EVENTS LIKE THAT THAT WE CAN ALSO TRACE. WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO EAT AFTERWARDS OR THAT'S CORRECT. HOTELS ARE STAYING IN AT YOUR WIN AND THAT THAT IS CORRECT. THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL US A SPIDER REPORT AND WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT YOU GEO FENCE, THE LOCATION WHERE THE EVENT TOOK PLACE. AND THEN IT'LL LOOK. IT LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER, LITERALLY WHERE IT SHOWS EVERYBODY WENT AFTER AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM, SO WE'RE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND PINPOINT WHERE THOSE PEOPLE CAME FROM. WE'VE GIVEN THIS REPORT TO THE DUNCANVILLE THEATER. SO THAT THEY CAN SEE WHERE THEIR PATRONS ARE COMING FROM. SO THEN YOU'RE ALLOWED TO EITHER MARKET OR TARGET THOSE AREAS AS WELL. WE'VE ALSO BEEN TO IDENTIFY, BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT EVENTS LIKE THE STRAWBERRY FEST, OR WE WILL LOOK AT DRONE SHOWS. AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE THOSE ATTRACT. AND WITH THAT INFORMATION, WE'RE ABLE TO JUSTIFY SPENDING HOT TAX MONEY TO BE ABLE TO DO AN EVENT THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE FROM A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE THAT STAY IN HOTELS, LOCAL HOTELS. SO THE RECENT DRONE SHOW THAT WE HAD WE HAD. WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 AND HUNT TAX MONEY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO JUSTIFY WHY WE DID THAT ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AS YOU KNOW. IS THAT IT MEETS ONE OF THE NINE ELEMENTS OF THE HOT TAX STATUTE. AND THEN THE OTHER IS IT THAT IT PROMOTED TOURISM AND HEADS AND BEDS IN OUR HOTELS? SO WE GRABBED THAT REPORT, AND IT SHOWS THAT WE HAD PEOPLE THAT STAYED AND ATTENDED THE EVENT. SO THAT'S SOME OF THE USE IS WE USE IT, SO IT'S NOT ONLY A USEFUL TOOL FOR US TO PROSPECT, BUT IT'S ALSO USEFUL TOOL TO PROVIDE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT WE'RE HELPING OUT WHEREVER AUDITED. UH BY THE STATE THAT WE PROVIDED INFORMATION. SO THAT WE CAN JUSTIFY SPENDING THE MONEY.

THANK YOU FOR THE. THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE PRESENTATION AND NOT FOR ME. IT JUST HELPS TO BE BRIEFED. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY MIGHT HAVE TO BRIEF SOMEBODY WHO ASKED HOW COME Y'ALL SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. GOT SOME VERY GOOD IN THANK YOU, UM. EXACTLY HOW DETAILED IS THE TRACKING SYSTEM.

UM ARE WE VENTURING ON ANY TYPE OF PRIVACY ISSUES OR ANY CONCERNS THAT, UM 1 MAY HAVE AS FAR AS THEIR IDENTITY. SO I'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION AND SO UH, THE WAY THEY GATHER THE DETAIL IS THEY SUBSCRIBE TO APPROXIMATELY 300 DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS, THE MOST POPULAR ONES, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE IT, BUT AS AN EXAMPLE AH, YOU WOULD HAVE FACEBOOK OR SOCIAL MEDIA. AND SO WHEN YOU CLICK ON IT, AND YOU ACCEPT IT AS AN APP ON YOUR PHONE TYPICALLY, PEOPLE DON'T READ THE FINE PRINT. BUT YOU'RE GIVING PERMISSION TO BASICALLY TRACK YOUR PHONE. YOU PROBABLY HAD TIMES WHEN IT SAYS YOUR LOCATION TURNING ON OR THIS PARTICULAR APP HAS TRACKED YOUR LOCATION OVER THE LAST, YOU KNOW, THREE DAYS, 26 TIMES. THAT INFORMATION IS UPLOADED SOMEWHERE AND THAT SOUL TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. UNLESS YOU TURN OFF LOCATION TRACKING, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. THAT INFORMATION IS THEN ANONYMIZED.

SO THAT IT'S NOT THE PERSON'S PERSONAL INFORMATION. IT'S ANONYMOUS. AND THEY BUY THAT ANONYMOUS OR NOT DEMISED INFORMATION. AND SO WHEN A PERSON STAYS AT A SPOT FOR MORE

[02:30:06]

THAN SEVEN MINUTES THEN THAT INFORMATION IS UPLOADED, AND IT'S CONSIDERED A BLIP ON THEIR YOU KNOW, ON THEIR RADAR, IF YOU WILL. AND SO BY PEOPLE'S TRAFFIC , AND THE SEVEN MINUTE TIME FRAME IS WHAT THEY UTILIZE. THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES FOR PERSON. THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES A PERSON TO GO THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THEY USE AS A BLIP IF YOU WILL. AND FROM THAT BLIP, THEY CAN IDENTIFY DEMOGRAPHICS. THEY CAN IDENTIFY IMPRESSIONS. THEY CAN IDENTIFY WHAT YOU SEARCH ON THE INTERNET. THEY CAN IDENTIFY WHAT YOUR LIKES ARE. WE CAN ACTUALLY GET WHAT THEY CALL A TAPESTRY. AND WE CAN IDENTIFY PEOPLE THAT ARE ATTENDING. LET'S SAY A RESTAURANT. HERE OR ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. SUPPOSE WE WANT TO TRAFFIC SUPPOSE WE WANT TO GO AFTER. LET'S JUST SAY, CHICK FIL A. WE USED CHICK FIL A. WE USE THIS AS, UH, INFORMATION THAT WE SENT THE CHICK FIL A TO SHOW HOW MUCH TRAFFIC WAS GOING TO THE DISORDER LOCATION AND HOW MUCH WAS GOING TO CEDAR HILL. UH SORRY. I WANT TO JUST BRING THEM BACK UP. UM. AND SO THAT INFORMATION WHEN WE GET IT OBVIOUSLY WERE ABLE TO AH, SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND WHAT THEIR BEHAVIOR PATTERNS ON WHAT THEY SPEND. WE CAN ALSO TELL YOU WHAT THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES ARE AND THEN WE'LL COMPARE IT TO ANOTHER SOFTWARE THAT WE GET IS CALLED EZRI. EZRI IS GOING TO GIVE US A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE SPEND WHAT TYPE OF HOUSE THEY BUY. UM WHAT TYPE OF INCOME RANGER IN WHAT THEIR EDUCATION LEVELS ARE. THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION THAT YOU GIVE AWAY WHEN YOU'RE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET OR WHEN YOU'RE SEARCHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHAT YOUR LIKES AND DISLIKES ARE UM, BUT IT'S ALL ANONYMIZED TO ANSWER. YOUR QUESTION IS NO MORE EXPOSURE THAN WE ALREADY ARE. THAT SAME LEVEL OF EXPOSURE AND IT'S ANONYMOUS. THAT'S CORRECT.

COMING BACK TO MONICA GOODEN DA DA DA DA DA, THEY HAVE TESTED IT AND IT IT COMES BACK TO ABOUT 95 TO 98% ACCURACY ON THE PERSON THAT ATTENDED THAT EVENT, AND I WILL SAY THIS THAT SOME EVENTS DON'T COME UP ON THE RADAR. IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S SIGNIFICANT IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GET THAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU. 2048 HOURS TYPICALLY MR MCBURNETT.

THANK YOU. MAYOR MR. GARCIA HAS THIS PAID FOR DC FUNDS. OKAY MAYBE I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. MUSTN'T IMPROVEMENTS RACK. MONETTE SECOND, PLEASE. SECOND ONE, MR VERA CRUZ. PLEASE VOTE. ENORMOUSLY APPROVED. THANK YOU JUST WANT TO ADD ONE COMMENT TO THIS LOOKING AT THEIR NAME.

PLACER DOT AI. THAT AI IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. AND I HAVE A PREVIOUSLY EXPLAINED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS TO THIS COUNCIL AND TWO CITIZENRY. AND WHAT MR GARCIA MENTIONED THAT THEY SUBSCRIBED OVER 300. PLACES THAT THEY COULD GATHER INFORMATION. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ONLY OPERATES ON WHAT'S AVAILABLE. IT DOES NOT CREATE ANYTHING THAT GENERATES.

THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. SO THEY'RE SUBSCRIBING TO 300 SOURCES OF INFORMATION. THEY'RE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS BUILD ON WHAT'S THERE AND PRODUCE RESULTS BASED ON A EYES UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT'S SEEING AND WHAT IT'S WORKING ON. SO I WANTED TO JUST MAKE A NOTE FOR EVERYBODY THAT THAT'S USUALLY WHEN WE SEE A WEBSITE LIKE THAT AI IS A COUNTRY IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEIR NAME IS PLACER DOT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. I JUST WANTED OUT THAT PARTICULAR COMMENT. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO

[4.R. Consider a Resolution authorizing the approval of a professional services contract agreement with Create Atelier for the architectural and interior design services via professional services procurement, contingent on the drafting of a contract; as to form by the City Attorney.]

ITEM ARE CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH CREATE IS THAT ATELIER? EIGHT, THE YEAR. I'LL JUST READ IT. YOU FIGURE IT OUT. OKAY FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES VIA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROCUREMENT CONTINGENT ON THE DRAFTING OF THE CONTRACT ASKED TO FORM BY THE CITY ATTORNEY, MR GARCIA, THIS IS YOURS AS WELL. THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL, MR CITY MANAGER. SO IF THE COUNCIL RECALLS, UM THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNCIL, AS YOU KNOW. UM WE HAVE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WITHIN OUR CITY. THERE WAS ONE PROJECT IN PARTICULAR THAT WE BROUGHT TO THE COUNCIL. WHICH WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR TO CITY HALL. THERE'S SEVERAL APARTMENTS THAT ARE QUITE FRANKLY, AND I SOAR TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. THERE'S LOTS OF IMPROVEMENTS WE HAVE FOUND THERE TO BE TRASH. AH, THERE'S IT'S THERE'S JUST NEFARIOUS ACTIVITY TAKING PLACE. APPROXIMATELY 2.5. MAYBE THREE YEARS AGO, WE APPROACHED THE OWNER AND AFTER A SERIES OF DISCUSSIONS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT OWNER UM TRYING TO GET HIM TO DO SOMETHING IN THE RENOVATED OR IMPROVE THE HOUSING CONDITIONS OR DO SOMETHING WITH THE LANDSCAPING. UM TO NO AVAIL. UM AS YOU RECALL, THIS COUNCIL APPROVED THE WHEATON PLAZA PROJECT. WHEN THE WEAVING PRIVATE PRODUCTS PLAZA PROJECT TOOK PLACE THE OWNER CALLED US

[02:35:04]

AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO SEE IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING. HE WAS VERY CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITHIN PLAZA. HE FELT THAT UM IT WAS A GREAT PROJECT, AND IT WAS GOING TO ENHANCE THE OVERALL AREA AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE WITH THAT. HE VISITED WITH THAT DEVELOPER REVISITED WITH US, WE START HAVING DISCUSSIONS. ABOUT POTENTIALLY IMPROVING THAT PROPERTY THE ENTIRE THING? WHAT'S WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY AND JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT AND WHY IT'S CREATIVE ALTAIR AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS MAYBE THE COUNCIL NOT TO BE PRESUMPTUOUS, BUT WHY ARE WE GOING WITH GRATED ALTIERI? AH, UM AND SO HE HAD ASKED WHO WAS THE ARCHITECT THAT DID THE DESIGN OVER THERE? NO RELATION, NO AFFILIATION WITH THEM, BUT JUST CURIOUS WHO IT WAS. WE MADE THE INTRODUCTION BECAUSE WE ASKED, WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS HE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM. YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE DONE. HE LIKED WHAT HE WAS SEEING. HE HAD FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, AND THAT BECAME AN I DON'T KNOW. I WANT TO SAY A RELATIONSHIP, BUT HE HAD HE LIKED WHAT HE HEARD FROM THEM AND WHAT THEY DID. AFTER HAVING FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM, HE SAID. WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE MY SIDE IS THEIR INCENTIVES AVAILABLE. WE BROUGHT THAT TO THE COUNCIL. IF YOU RECALL. IT'S A CONCEPT CALLED WARNER, WHICH ARE NOW SEEING IN THE PACKET. THE WONDER IF WOULD BE A COMPLETE STREET. DUTCH WORD. WHERE WE WOULD IMPROVE AND MAKE ALL OF THOSE APARTMENTS. AH MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ENTIRE STREET AND MAKING AN END A NICE ENTRYWAY BECAUSE IT WOULD ENHANCE WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITHIN PLAZA. UH DR RIKI FAIN, WHO AND HIS FAMILY ARE THE ONES THAT OWN IT? WHAT'S UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR STREET? IS THAT MR FAN AND HIS FAMILY THEY OWN ALL THE PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS OF THIS STREET. AND AS YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ASK OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT OR ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S DEALT WITH RIGHT AWAY. ACQUISITION THAT'S THAT'S UNUSUAL TO GET EVERYBODY AGREED TO DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY OR PUBLIC STREETS. OR PUBLIC PROPERTY, ETCETERA. SO AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH THIS THIS COUNCIL I'M DISCUSSING WHAT WE COULD DO TO IMPROVE THAT. QUOTE UNQUOTE EYESORE, WHICH MR FAIN SAYS HIMSELF. IT IS AN EYESORE.

AND HE FEELS LIKE THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE IT. AH HE REALLY LIKED WORKING WITH GREAT ALTIERI FELT THEY WERE THE RIGHT FIRM FOR HIM. AS YOU KNOW, THIS COUNCIL APPROVED BUDGET OF $80,000 TO HIRE ARCHITECTS. UM. FOR VARIOUS SERVICES AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE ARCHITECTS AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE CONTRACT, IT SAYS ADDITIONAL SERVICES. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS GOING TO COST. IF YOU LOOK AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ALL 10 AREAS, ALL BUT ITEMS SEVEN AND EIGHT, IT SAYS DEVELOP AN AREA PLAN. WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS COUNCIL ABOUT DEVELOPING AREA PLANS ON DIFFERENT SITES WITHIN THE CITY. BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT. AND WE CAN'T DIVISION PLANNING. WE CAN'T DO. DISCUSSIONS ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND REALLY GET FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. WHAT WORKING PART LOOKS GO PART. LET'S GET PARK. LET'S GO. WHAT ISSUES ARE THERE WITH THE BUILDING? WHAT THINGS? CAN WE LOOK FOR IDEAS AND BECOME MORE FOCUSED ON WHAT WE WANT TO DO? SO IN DISCUSSIONS WITH CREATIVE CREATE LTS WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A WORKING RELATIONSHIP THE E D. C USING THAT MONEY. AND STARTING TO WORK ON SOME OF THOSE VISION. UH IDEAS AND WORKING WITH OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE SO THAT WE CAN BRING THEM TO THE BOARD AND BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WORK ON THIS WOUND OF PROJECT AND SO, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE READING YOUR PACKET, THE HAS A PURVIEW. TO HIRE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. WITHOUT GOING THROUGH AN R F Q, OR R F P R F Q. IN FACT, STATE STATUTE ACTUALLY EMPLOYS YOU NOT TO DO IT AND AH! IF THAT'S THE QUESTION BEFORE THIS COUNCIL AS TO WHY WE'RE GOING TO CREATE ALL TR THAT'S THE THAT WAS THE REASON THAT WAS THE CONTEXT. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID SORRY FOR THE LONG WINDED EXPLANATION IN CONTEXT. DEDUCTIBLE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS COMMITTED, ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS AND FOSTERING ECONOMIC GROWTH WITHIN OUR CITY. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS AT THE CDC IS EMBARKING ON VARIOUS DEVELOPED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE LEGALIZATION OF WHEATLAND PLAZA, WHICH CREATIVE ALTIERI WHERE THE ARCHITECTS FOR THE DEVELOPER THAT THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE IN DC DC, PROVIDED GRANT AT 1.5 MILLION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED CREATIVITY AS A HIGHLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR THIS ROLE. THIS FIRM BOASTS IMPRESSIVE TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL PROJECT AND AROUND THE DUNCANVILLE AREA IN SOUTHERN SECTOR OF DALLAS COUNTY. NOTABLY THEY HAVE COMPLETED SIGNIFICANT WORK ON WHEATLAND PLAZA AND GROW DE SOTO MARKETPLACE PROVIDE UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS THAT ALIGN WITH OUR COMMUNITIES VISION. WE PRESENTED A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE VISION PLANNING, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP. LEFT FROM MY VANTAGE POINT. THAT IS THE NEW COLLAPSE SPACE AT WHEATLAND PLAZA. THAT'S ONE OF THE PROJECTS IF YOU RECALL THAT IT IS CDC ENTERED INTO WITH MR. UH MONTE. ANDERSON. AH I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME. I APOLOGIZE. I KNOW A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I WAS TRYING TO GET THAT RIGHT. UM SO THAT'S GONNA BE AN EXCELLENT CLASSMATES THAT WE GET. WE HAVE FREE ACCESS TO AN UNMITIGATED IF I WILL ACCESS TO A BASED ON

[02:40:02]

DISCUSSIONS WITH MR ANDERSON. AND YOU CAN SEE IT THERE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT ITS ADDITIONAL RENDERING OF WHAT THAT WILL BE. IT WILL BE ONE OF THE NEWEST AREAS THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME OF OUR PROJECTS ANYWAY. THAT WAS, WE'RE REALLY LIKE THE SPACE. WE THOUGHT IT WAS. CREATIVE AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD UTILIZE AS A WAY TO START DOING SOME VISIONING, ETCETERA. AND THE OTHER TWO PROJECTS ARE JUST PROJECTS THEY'VE DONE THAT I PULLED DIRECTLY FROM THEIR WEBSITE. ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? SO, UM WHY IS THERE NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS? THE ANSWER THAT MARRIES WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT COST IS GOING TO BE. THIS WOULD BE VERY MUCH LIKE A LAWYER'S CONTRACT. IF YOU WILL, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO CHARGE BY. HE'S GOING TO CHARGES BY THE HOUR BASED ON WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GO FROM HERE. WE ANTICIPATE THERE WILL BE SEVERAL VISION DISCUSSIONS ON WHAT WE NEED. THIS WON'T BE THE FINAL PROJECT BUT IN ORDER TO GET TO A PROJECT WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY GO OUT FOR OUR FQ AND IDENTIFY ARCHITECTS TO DO THE PROJECT. WE NEED SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO BE FOCUSED AND IDENTIFY ISSUES WHAT WE WANT WITH THE DEVELOPER. WITHOUT HAVING SOME SORT OF RENDERING. AND FIND OURSELVES KIND OF CHICKEN SCRATCHING SOME PICTURES OF WHAT WE LIKE. BUT WITHOUT IT'S HARD TO BRING THAT TO THE BOARD TO THE COUNCIL. IS IT AS EVIDENCED BY SOME OF DISCUSSION WE HAD EARLIER TODAY ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE HOW MANY SQUARE FOOT WE HAVE? SO WE KIND OF HAVE TO DO THAT FOR CAPACITY AND AN ARCHITECT IS QUITE HONESTLY THE MOST QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO DO THAT. AND THIS THIS COUNCIL HAS ASKED US TO DO SEVERAL OF THESE AREA PLANS TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ASK US TO DO THAT. AH AND SEVERAL VISIONING PLANS TO BE ABLE TO BRING TO YOU. AND SO THIS JUST GIVES US THE TOOLS TO ENHANCE ABILITY TO DO THAT. SO YOU'VE PRETTY WELL EXPLAINED THE PRESTIGE OF THIS COMPANY. BUT THEN THERE'S ANOTHER POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD BE A FIVE OR A SIX FIGURE INCOME. RINSE. AS THINGS MOVE ALONG, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT A ZERO IN FRONT OF US.

THAT'S I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. BUT WITHIN THE PACKAGE THAT WE HAVE. THERE'S NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH OUR APPROVING THIS RESOLUTION. RIGHT NOW. THIS WOULD BE TIED TO OUR ANNUAL BUDGET OR ANNUAL BUDGET IS $80,000 FOR, UH, AREA PLANS CURRENTLY, SO THAT WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT WE COULD SPEND. AH WE COULD CERTAINLY MAKE IT 80,000, BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. COULD WE COULD WE PUT IN THERE NOT TO EXCEED 80,000 BASED ON BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS. I MEAN, THAT WOULD MAKE ME MORE COMFORTABLE THAN THE SAME. WE'RE APPROVING A RESOLUTION WITH ZERO, BUT NO ONE IS GOING TO COST. I THINK I THINK WE'VE GOT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THERE JUST FOR OUR OWN PROTECTION. REALLY. DO THAT AS WELL. YEAH, YEAH, OKAY. UH, JUST SOMETHING FOR YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE WE MOVE ON WITH THIS ONE, MR COONS? YES, SIR. HMM. ACTUALLY SO I THINK GREG HAS WANTED TO ASK TO HAVE THE SMOOTHED OVER SO I'LL DEFER TO HIM FIRST. OKAY, FOLLOW MR CONTRERAS. YEAH, WELL, I LEARNED A LOT FROM WHAT I READ.

BY YOUR PRESENTATION, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. UM. THE REASON I ASKED FOR IT TO COME OUT OF CONSENT, SO WE COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION. AS IT TURNS OUT, IT'S MORE EYE OPENING THAN I THOUGHT. BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED WHEN WE HEARD THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY FROM DAY ONE THAT SOMETHING COULD BE DONE WITH THE FAINT PROPERTIES. UM THOSE HAVE BEEN AN EYESORE AND ANY OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE. WE WILL. WE CERTAINLY WANT TO LOOK AT IT. MY CONCERN IS THAT I'M NOT. I'M NOT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, SO I'M GONNA THROW OUT TERMS, BUT YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M OFF TRACK IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WE'VE DONE ANY KIND OF FEASIBILITY STUDY. TO UNDERSTAND. THAT WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO INVEST IN IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA WORK. IT'S LIKE WE'RE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE AND THE WAY I THINK, AND THAT COULD BE WRONG. UM FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT, SO HELP ME WITH THAT, BECAUSE I THINK RIGHT NOW YOU DID ANSWER ONE BIG QUESTION FOR ME BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE THE MONEY WAS COMING FROM. BECAUSE OF OUR STRAIGHTENING OUT OUR FINANCES.

I CERTAINLY DIDN'T WANT TO BE SPENDING ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT WAS GOING TO BE UNBUDGETED.

SO THAT WE COULD WORK ON A PROJECT THAT WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHERE IT'S GOING TO END UP. HAVING SAID THAT YOU JUST SAID THAT THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF MONEY YOU ALREADY HAVE. SO THIS IS NOT COMING OUT OF WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ANOTHER, UM PLACE TO GET THIS MONEY FROM THIS IS IN YOUR BUDGET. IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY? SO BUT I STILL HAVE A FEELING THAT THAT I'M NOT SURE WE'RE READY FOR THIS PROJECT YET. I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO. THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER HERE, BUT IT'S A VISION RIGHT NOW. IT'S A VISION AND I KNOW YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. BUT I'M JUST NOT SURE WE KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT

[02:45:03]

TO EVEN START TO INVEST IN IT. AND SUPPORT THE INVESTMENT IN IT. WITHOUT KNOWING. WHERE.

WHETHER THIS IS FEASIBLE AND THIS IS GOING TO END UP BEING WHAT WE WANT. SO FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU CAN PUT IN MY DIRECTION. TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW I MAY NOT BE THINKING CORRECTLY ABOUT THIS HAPPY TO IF YOU HUMOR ME, JUST SO THEY FOR THE AUDIENCES BENEFIT. SO OBVIOUSLY IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORLD, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. YOU SAID THE RIGHT WORDS FEASIBILITY STUDY IN ORDER TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY. WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE CAPACITY OF THE PROJECT IS. AS I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF MY PRESENTATION, WE APPROACHED HIM. THREE YEARS AGO ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO. AND I WANT TO SAY WE NAGGED HIM, JUST LIKE WE NAGGED WHEATLAND PLAZA. AH HE'S NOT THE SEASON DEVELOPER THAT MR ANDERSON IS OBVIOUSLY PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE HESITATION ON GETTING IT REDEVELOPED AND REDESIGNED. WE PROBABLY HAVE MULTIPLE OWNERS OF PROPERTIES THAT AREN'T ACTIVE DEVELOPERS, AS EVIDENCED BY SOME OF THE BLIGHT AND SOME OF THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE IF YOU WILL. THEIR INVESTORS IN PROPERTY, AND THAT'S FOR THE MOST PART. WHAT MR DOCTOR FAN IS AND SO IF WE'RE GOING TO SPUR DEVELOPMENT IF WE'RE GOING TO INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY AND DO THOSE FEASIBILITY STUDIES THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND SOME MONEY. AND SO IN ORDER FOR US TO GET FOCUSED AND HAVE A VISION PLAN FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EITHER PARTNER IN THE IN THE WAY OF A P THREE. AND THAT REQUIRES AN INVESTMENT. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE 80,000 FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE DOING TO ESTABLISH PART OF THAT FEASIBILITY. DR. FEIGN NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT THE FINISH WHAT FINISHES WE EXPECT. WHAT TYPE OF PROJECT WE EXPECT BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONE DRIVING THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT'S AN EYESORE, AND HE AGREES. NOW HE HAS GONE TO HIS BANK, AND HE HAS SECURED FINANCING FOR SOME OF IT. BUT THERE'S A PROCESS THROUGH THAT OF MAKING SURE THAT THIS WHOLE THING WORKS. BUT IF WE'RE THE ONE APPROACHING HIM, AND WE'RE THE ONES WHO WANT TO GET THIS DONE, AS EVIDENCED BY MY DISCUSSION WITH YOU IF YOU RECALL IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING AND I WANT TO BE CAREFUL HOW I SAY, BECAUSE SOME OF THIS OCCURRED IN EXECUTIVE I WAS GIVEN THE DIRECTION BY OUR PREVIOUS INTERIM CITY MANAGER TO MOVE FORWARD. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS A. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY. UM, THIS STARTED 1011 MONTHS AGO. AH WHEN WE ACTUALLY SAT DOWN AND SAID, OK, LET'S MOVE FORWARD. I BROUGHT IT TO YOU. AH AND I'M HERE TODAY. NEEDING TO START THAT VISIBILITY PERIOD WITH. A MINIMAL INVESTMENT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS IN THAT VISION. AS PART OF THESE ARCHITECTURAL, UH, SERVICES WERE ALSO GOING TO DO THE DOWNTOWN, ENVISIONING THROUGH THE AH TOWN HALL MEETINGS TO TALK WITH THE COMMUNITY WILL BE PROVIDING SOME ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THAT AS WELL. WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE CONTRACT. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT STUFF THAT GOES WAY OUTSIDE THE CONTRACT, ALTHOUGH IT'S RELATED TO THE CONTRACT. SO WE NEED I UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THAT MR CITY ATTORNEY, I THINK BUT MR GARCIA IS ATTEMPTING TO DO IS GIVE SOME CONCERNED OR TO ALLAY SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF MS GUTIERREZ IS HIS VOICE, AND I THINK HE'S PRETTY WELL ON TRACK DOING THAT BECAUSE IT LEADS TO OUR HOPEFUL EVENTUAL APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION, INCLUDING SOMETHING THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO. IT'S GOING TO BE BUDGETED AT AROUND 80,000 AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT MR GARCIA SAID AS WELL. THAT THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN WOULD BE PRIOR TO THE SUBSEQUENT FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT MR CONTRERAS. SO RIGHT, AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE WE'RE KIND OF WE'RE STILL ON THE I SEE IT. I UNDERSTAND MR CITY ATTORNEY. WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT HOW WE AS A COUNTER CAN MOVE TOWARD APPROVING THIS RESOLUTION AS IT STANDS BEFORE US, WITH SOME OF THE CONCERNS DETECT. SORRY WHAT THE PROJECT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE YOU'RE HIRING AN ARCHITECT, RIGHT? ARCHITECT. I THINK I THINK I GOT MY ANSWER. ONE LAST QUESTION, THOUGH. UM YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR SLIDE SHOW THAT THERE WAS YOU SAID AN ARCHITECT AND DEVELOPER. IS THAT ONE AND THE SAME? NO. THERE IS NO DEVELOPER ON THIS PROJECT JUST YET ONLY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND HOW TELL ME IF I'M OUT OF BALANCE? HOW DO HOW DO WE HOW DO WE CAN PASS THEM ON? IT'S JUST LIKE YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE HEARING ATTORNEY DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO USE THEM AND JUST MEANS YOU CAN USE THEM AND THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE YOU THIS BE SO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS WHAT I WOULD THINK IS IF YOU LIKE THE PICTURES THAT YOU SEE IN THE DESCRIPTION THAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY MR GARCIA. AND THIS IS SOMEONE YOU THINK IS GONNA ADD VALUE BASED ON WHAT GUS IS. YOU CAN IMPROVE THE CONTRACTS SUBJECT TO I STILL HAVE TO WRITE THE AGREEMENT. I WANT TO FEED SCHEDULE AS YOUR LAWYER. YOU DON'T I DON'T HAVE ONE. AND THEN SOMEONE HAS TO ISSUE A WORK ORDER. WHICH I

[02:50:04]

ASSUME IS THE CITY MANAGER. AND THEN YOU CAP THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU WANT US THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO SPEND TONIGHT YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND AMEND IT. JUST GUS DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER HE'S GOING TO USE $80,000 WORTH OF TIME OR $10,000. YOU DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. SO YOU NEED A FEE SCHEDULE. YOU IF YOU WANT TO CAP PUT A CAP ON IT SO YOU GOT MONEY TO DO SOMETHING ELSE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MR GARCIA'S IN ARLINGTON AND MISS CARTER'S HERE . IT'S JUST LIKE THE NIGHT YOU HIRED ME. GAVE ME A YOU HIRED MY SERVICES. I GAVE YOU A FEE SCHEDULE. AND HERE WE ARE. SO I DON'T VIEW THIS AS ANY DIFFERENT YEAH. I'VE GOT SEVERAL LIGHTS LIT UP HERE. BUT MR FINCH CITY MANAGER HAS SOME IMPORTANT I THINK IT GOES BACK TO I CAN'T CONCERN KNOWING THAT WE ALREADY $1000 IN THE BUDGET UNTIL NOT TO EXCEED. WE CAN CAP THAT WITH THE LANGUAGE GIVEN TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DO AS WELL. AND IN THE PACKAGE. WHAT MR FINCH IS JUST SHOWING ME IS THAT THERE'S WAS 202 100 EVEN DOLLARS AN HOUR ? NOT IN $40. WAS IT? I'M SEE. JUST JUST READ IT. READ IT. SO IT SAYS THE CONSULTANTS. COMPENSATION FOR BASIC SERVICES SHALL BE BASED ON AN HOURLY FEE OF $200 PER HOUR NOT TO EXCEED 40 HOURS PER WEEK, 160 HOURS PER MONTH. BUT IN THE SPIRIT OF THE CONVERSATION, MAYBE YOU SAID, A THRESHOLD AND NOT TO EXCEED JUST TO HELP MOVE IT FORWARD, AND THEN YOU COULD REVISIT IT AND THAT COMES FROM THE BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS HAVE BEEN SET ALREADY BY THE D. C. D. C. OKAY, SO, UM FOLLOWING WHAT I SAW, MR KOONTZ. YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO POINT OUT, BUT THAT THAT'S FINE. YES. SO, YEAH, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND I'M CITY ATTORNEY. I AM LOOKING AT THE CONTRACT, BY THE WAY, SO THAT'S MY COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM BUT SO YEAH, THE BUT THIS KIND OF GETS BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED AS THAT, BUT THERE'S A $0 BUDGET AMOUNT. THEY'RE HERE IN THE CONTRACT. THERE'S YOUR TALKS ABOUT $200 AN HOUR AND NOT TO EXCEED 40 HOURS. PER WEEK. AS WELL AS SAYS BUT YOU KNOW? REMEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. PERSONALLY I DON'T REMEMBER THIS BODY. EVER MAKING A DECISION THAT BECAUSE I DO REMEMBER IT. THERE WAS. MAYBE IT WAS AT A RETREAT OR WORKSHOP. THERE WERE DIFFERENT PROJECTS PRESENTED TO US. AND OF COURSE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SMALL AREA PLANS AND THIS AREA AND BY THE WAY I SUPPORT CONCEPT BECAUSE THAT'S IN MY DISTRICT. UM BUT THAT WAS JUST ONE OF DIFFERENT POTENTIAL AREAS THAT WE WERE CONSIDERING. MAYBE. GETTING A SMALL AREA PLAN DONE, AND THEN THIS WAS ONE OF THEM. BUT I IN PARTICULAR, I DON'T REMEMBER EVEN A CONSENSUS SAYING, OKAY, THIS LET'S LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PARTICULAR IDEA, AND SO I MEAN, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS CONCEPT IN ANY SORT OF DETAIL WHATSOEVER. IT'S JUST BEEN IN PRESENTATIONS. AND I GUESS I'M. KIND OF MARRIAGE IS KIND OF WHERE YOU STARTED. KIND OF CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT WHAT OUR DECISION IS WHAT THE ACTION IS. UM, I MEAN, IS THIS WHERE WE'RE GIVING THEM EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO THIS PROJECT, OR ONCE WE DECIDE MAKE THIS DECISION IF LATER ON, WE ACTUALLY START TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS AND RESEARCH IT. WE DECIDED THERE'S ANOTHER. ARCHITECT, OR WE HANDCUFFED TO THIS ONE. ASKING ME? YES, SIR. YEAH. YEAH AND I CAN START. MR CITY ATTORNEY. DO YOU HAVE A IT'S A VALID QUESTION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THIS IS AN ARCHITECT CONTRACT. HE'S GOING TO DROP SOME CONCEPTS OF WHAT MIGHT GO IN THERE AND THEN BASED ON I ASSUME THEY'LL BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU ALL AND GOING LIKE THIS AND HATE THAT. MR GOSS OR MISS CARTER GO TO A FEASIBILITY STUDY BECAUSE WE REALLY LIKE THAT, AND THEN YOU GO OUT AND DO THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. COME BACK AND GO. THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA GO GANGBUSTERS, AND I GOT THREE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN NOW YOU'RE TALKING THIS IS JUST AN ARCHITECTURAL KIND OF CONCEPT DEVELOPER. CONTRACT. THIS IS NOT A DEVELOPMENT COUNTRY. IT'S JUST A HIRE AN ARCHITECT. TO COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS FOR YOU ALL TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH REVITAL. IT SAYING THE SAME PROPERTY. JUST IF I MAY ADD SOME COLOR TO THAT. SO ONCE WE HAVE SOME SORT OF CONCEPT, WE WOULD TYPICALLY GO OUT FOR AN R F Q FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AND LET DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS SEND US WHAT THEIR YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR

[02:55:03]

PROJECTS ARE THE SCHEDULES PERCENTAGE BECAUSE TYPICALLY LARGER PROJECTS ARE DONE ON A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL PROJECT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT PROJECT IS GONNA BE YET. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. UM SO NO, WE WERE NOT. WE'RE NOT REACHING THAT STAGE YET. THIS IS JUST FOR VISIONING PLANNING, HAVING SOMEBODY TO DRAW SOME NICE PICTURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS. AND IDENTIFY SOME OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE. DR PHINEAS.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IS GONNA HAVE TO COME UP COME UP WITH AND SO HE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT THE CAPACITY IS. WHAT TYPE OF FINISHES WE WOULD REQUIRE. THAT'S GOING TO BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT JUST FOR ENVISIONING STANDPOINT, BUT WE WOULD NOT BE EXECUTING. WELL FIRST OFF, WE COULDN'T EXECUTE ANY TYPE OF PROJECT WITHOUT BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD AND INTO THIS BODY ANYWAY. SO THIS IS STRICTLY FOR DRAWINGS AND ELEVATIONS AND JUST KIND OF ENVISIONING THINGS FOR THE BOARD AND THE COUNCIL TO GET TO THAT FEASIBILITY POINT LIKE THAT. MR HAGAR MENTIONED WHAT'S A. $0 BUDGET AMOUNT OR MAKING A DECISION ON BUT AGAIN, I KIND OF COME BACK TO THE FACT THAT I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF AREAS OF TOWN. THAT WE NEED TO DO SOME ENVISIONING AND SOME OF THIS KIND OF STUFF ON AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHICH ONE WE WANT TO FOCUS ON. BUT WE CAN'T AMEND THIS RESOLUTION TO PUT AN $80,000 CAP ON IT BASED ON THE BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS EARLY, ARTICULATED IN THE D. C. D C.

I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED. I BELIEVE THE E. D. C IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THOSE AH! THOSE DESIGNS AND VISIONS AND ATTRACTING THOSE THINGS. AM I? MAYBE I'M GONNA MISS ON THAT.

ARE YOU? ARE YOU ASKING IS THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD BE DOING THAT OR NO, IT GOES BACK. WE REALLY GOT TO FOCUS ON WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S TELLING WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR TONIGHT IS TO APPROVE.

HIRING AN ARCHITECT. AND WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS, WE GOT CONCERN OVER $0 BEING SHOWN. SO MY THINKING IS, WE AMENDED THIS RESOLUTION WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S LANGUAGE TO SAY.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND MORE THAN $80,000 ON THIS PARTICULAR ARCHITECTS CONTRACT. BASED ON THE BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS BECAUSE OF THE CDC IS GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THE CONTRACT. MR CURRENTS. SO IF WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT? THE FIRST THING THAT WILL DO IS CONTACT CREATED LT R AND MR FAN AND WE'LL HAVE A MEETING AND DISCUSS OKAY. THESE ARE THE FINISHES. THESE ARE THE EXPECTATIONS. THIS IS KIND OF A VISIONING IDEA IF YOU WILL TO BRAINSTORM. ON THE WINNERS. AH THAT'LL GIVE US THE ABILITY TO SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY AND COME BACK WITH SOME KIND OF IDEA. AH, UM, AT THAT POINT WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A FOLLOW UP MEETING WITH THE BOARD AND THE COUNCIL ON WHAT THIS PROJECT IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE WHERE EVERYONE'S INPUT WILL COME IN. IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY LARGE PROJECT AS I MENTIONED, UH, IN MY DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU, AND SO IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF COLLABORATION WITH NOT JUST THE D. C. BUT THE COUNCIL AND WHAT THAT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT. THAT WILL REQUIRE CITY. AND A D. C AND SO AS YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T AND THEN ON THAT THAT'S ONE PROJECT.

THE OTHER PROJECT IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE DOWNTOWN RE VISIONING SO THEY'LL BE AT THAT MEETING TO SAY, OKAY, WHAT ARE THE INPUTS FROM THE COUNCIL FROM THE COMMUNITY AT THE TOWN HALL.

ANOTHER ONE IS THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING BEFORE YOU IS A PROJECT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PURCHASING AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO INCORPORATE INTO THE DOWNTOWN. THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT WILL BE LOOKING AT AND HAVING DISCUSSIONS ON MY WITNESS . I WOULD NEVER ASK YOU A QUESTION BECAUSE YOU THE ANSWERED IT ABOUT 10 MINUTES. YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION.

WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW IS I'M GOING TO SEE THE CONTRACT. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO MR FINCH SENTENCE SIGNS THAT SO THE. WE DO WHAT IT IS YOU WANT DONE, AND SO WHAT? I WHAT I HEARD WAS SO THE NEXT STEP IS OKAY. YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THEM WITH SOME ENVISIONING AND EXPECTATIONS IS WHAT I HEARD RIGHT? IS THE NEXT STEP SO I GUESS WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE PART OF THAT. ENVISIONING PROCESS OR THE EXPECTATIONS. SO WHO'S WHO'S GENERATING THAT VISION AND THOSE EXPECTATIONS THAT YOU'RE TAKING TO THEM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HAVING THAT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT CONVERSATION INITIALLY. YES THAT'S WHAT THE D CDCS RESPONSIBILITY IS TO COME UP WITH THOSE INITIAL DISCUSSIONS. AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE THAT WE TAKE IT TO THE BOARD BECAUSE THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF INVOLVEMENT. AND COME UP JUST LIKE WE BROUGHT INCENTIVE PACKAGE. IS THIS SOMETHING THEY WANT? AND ULTIMATELY, THIS BODY HAS THE CONTROLLING, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE GOVERNING BODY THEY CAN DENY ACCEPT IT. YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A JOINT MEETING. I MEAN IT JUST BUT THERE HAS TO BE A PROCESS STARTED. AH WE TYPICALLY WOULD NOT HAVE THE COUNCIL COME IN AND START ENGAGING WITH THEM. WE JUST WOULDN'T DO THAT. THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT ORTHODOX. IF YOU WILL. WE COULD CERTAINLY DO IT IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT. BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT IN THE IN THE WEEDS. SO TO SPEAK. BUT I MEAN, CERTAINLY IF THIS COUNCIL WANTED TO DO THAT, WE'RE THE CITY MANAGER DIRECTS ME. I'M GONNA DO IT. AT LEAST FOR THE FEW DAYS ON THE LEFT HERE. AND I GUESS AND I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS. I'M JUST TRYING TO HAVE A CLEAR

[03:00:05]

UNDERSTANDING. PROVE THIS. LIKE WHAT? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT'S THE ACTION? WHAT'S THE RESULTING ACTION GOING TO BE AND BUT AGAIN WHAT WE'RE PROVING IT'S GOT $0 AMOUNT, SO I'M STILL KIND OF CONFUSED ABOUT GOING TO CHANGE THAT. WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THAT. YES SO I'M LOOKING AT HOW THESE POPULAR MR MCBURNETT NEXT AND THEN MISS GOOD AND THEN GOING BACK TO MR CONTRERAS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AH! HEY IS THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID THIS IS JUST A CONTRACT FOR ARCHITECT. WHY DOES THE FOUR BE ASKED FOR THIS? UH BECAUSE PART OF OUR PURVIEW BASED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TO STIMULATE AND INITIATED PROJECTS . SO WOULD YOU ALSO SAY THAT IT'S BECAUSE FOR BEES ARE DESIGNED TO BE CUT THROUGH RED TAPE AND ACTUALLY GET THINGS MOVING. I MEAN, THAT'S AN ADVANTAGE OF A FOUR B VERY NICE SENIOR, BUT IT DOES HAVE THAT POWER TO CUT THROUGH RED TAPE. AND SO IT'S SIMPLY THAT SO MAYBE I'M MAKING THE MOTION TO APPROVE IT. WE DO HAVE EMOTION TO APPROVE THEIR SECOND. WHO WAS THAT? BROWN SECOND BY COUNCILOR CHERRY BROWN. UM SO WE CAN WE DO HAVE THAT MOTION. AND THERE IS OPTIONS WITHIN MY PURVIEW AS HOW TO RUN THESE THINGS IN TERMS OF NOT CONFIRMING TO ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDERS. BUT EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A MOTION WE CAN STILL HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE TAKE THE VOTE. HOWEVER BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD HOW I'M PERSONALLY FEELING, UM BEFORE WE TAKE THE VOTE. I'M GOING TO TURN TO MISS GORDON AND MR COMPARISON, SAY, ARE YOUR ARE YOUR FOLLOWING QUESTIONS SO SUBSTANTIVE THAT YOU CAN'T VOTE AT THIS TIME. MR MR WAS GOOD. YOU COULD MR CONTROLS COULD YOU VOTE WELL, I'D RATHER NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION LIKE THAT. I'D RATHER ASK MY QUESTION MY FINAL QUESTION. AND THEN GO FORWARD WITH THE BOAT. I'M NOT TRYING TO DERAIL THE MOTION. I JUST I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE TABLE. ANOTHER COUNCIL PERSON MADE EMOTION WELL TO COUNCIL MEMBERS STILL HAD QUESTIONS TO ASK. THERE ARE STILL DISCUSSION GOING ON. THERE'S ONE ACQUIESCENCE THAT JUST COULDN'T SAYS SHE'S SHE'S ABLE TO VOTE AND UM WELL, I'D LIKE I'D LIKE TO ASK MY QUESTION. IF YOU'RE OKAY IF. PUTS ME IN A PRETTY DIFFICULT SITUATION HERE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE DON'T HAVE ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER TO CONFORM TO BUT MAYOR LET HIM ANSWER TO HELP ME OUT HERE BECAUSE, SAYS POINT OF ORDER.

[6.A. Receive the Monthly Financial Report as of November 30, 2023.]

TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER SIX. WHICH IS TO RECEIVE THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT AS NOVEMBER 30TH 2023 AND IT'S GOING TO BE MISS OD OR MISS JACKSON. MISS ODY, OKAY? WELL GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL GET RIGHT TO IT. SO THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF GIVING TO UNITE AS OF THE END OF NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER BEING THE SECOND MONTH IN THE FISCAL YEAR, SO THAT PUTS US AT A PACE OF 16.7% OF THE BUDGET. GIVING YOU AN ALL FUN SUMMERY HERE SNAPSHOT AGAIN. THIS IS AS OF THE END OF NOVEMBER. THE CHART YOU SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS, UM, THE REVENUES THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AS OF NOVEMBER 30TH FOR ALL FUNDS. UM SO WE'VE RECEIVED 7.3 MILLION THAT WAS COLLECTED YEAR TO DATE. UM JUST A REMINDER OF AN FY 23. WE HAD RECEIVED THE SECOND BATCH OF THE RP FUNDING AND $4.6 MILLION. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT ANOMALY IN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR 10 MILLION, SO OTHERWISE WE ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. HISTORICALLY UM, YEAR TODAY, INTEREST AND WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, UM THE INTEREST THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF 503,000. THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR US AS WE HAVE BEEN, UH, JUST TO MR HICKMAN AND WORKING WITH OUR INVESTMENT CONSULTANTS BEING ABLE TO AGGRESSIVELY GO AFTER, UM DIFFERENT INVESTMENTS AND DOING PUTTING HIGH YIELDING RATES AT USE, AND SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START EARNING SOME INTEREST INCOME THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SINCE COVID. SO AGAIN. THE BENCHMARK IS ABOUT 16.7% BUT OUR ACTUAL REVENUE TO DATE IS 8.8% ON THE EXPENSE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, AND WE HAVE EXPENDED 10.8 MILLION TO DATE AGAIN. THAT BENCHMARK IS 16.7% BUT THE ACTUAL EXPENSES MADE COMES TO 9.8. PROPERTY AND SALES TAXES, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY TAX ACCOUNTS FOR OVER 50% OF OUR TOTAL GENERAL FUND BUDGET IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, WE RECEIVED OVER 842,000 THAT PUTS US A YEAR TO DATE 1.34 MILLION. SO FAR, THAT'S 5.71% OF THE PROPERTY BUDGET. SO AGAIN, UM PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THEIR, UH THEIR PAYMENTS TO FOR THEIR PROPERTY TAXES AT THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. SO DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY IS WHEN WE START SEEING THE BULK OF THOSE PAYMENTS COMING IN ON THE SALES TAX. THIS WAS THE LAST MONTH OUT OF THE YEAR THAT COMPLETED OUR SALES TAX. UM YEAR TO DATE, UH, PAYMENTS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. SO WHAT WE RECEIVED IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER ACTUALLY WAS FOR THE COLLECTION MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. SO THAT GETS CHARGED BACK TO YOU, UM, FISCAL YEAR, 23. BUT OVERALL, UM OUR SALES TAX HAD TENDED TO 0.17% OVER THE 22 FISCAL YEAR. SO WE'VE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 13 MILLION IN TOTAL SALES TAX. JUST TO GIVE YOU PERSPECTIVE OF THE REGION SO YOU CAN SEE HOW WE COMPARED TO THE BEST SOUTHWEST CITIES AGAIN. AS OF THE END OF SEPTEMBER. WE RECEIVED AGAIN THE PAYMENT IN NOVEMBER. SO CEDAR HILLS ABOUT 2.61% WERE AT 2.17 SOTO, NEGATIVE. 12% AND LINCOLN. STIR AT 12% INCREASE OVER THE

[03:10:05]

PREVIOUS YEAR. YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE GENERAL FUND SUBMARINE. AGAIN AS I SAID, PROPERTY TAX.

WE GET THE BULK OF THAT IN DECEMBER, JANUARY FEBRUARY, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, UM OVERALL IN REVENUE THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AS AN IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE PREVIOUS, UH, FIVE YEARS, UM, AGAINST ALL TAXES COLLECTED TWO MONTHS BEHIND. SO DECEMBER IS WHEN WE'LL SEE THE FIRST. UH REVENUE FOR SALES TAX FRANCHISE TAX THAT'S RECEIVED ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, SO WE WON'T SEE THAT REVENUE UNTIL JANUARY. MM. AGAIN, UM, THE BENCHMARKS ABOUT 16.7. BUT OUR ACTUAL REVENUE IS 5.4% TO DATE AND AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTING THE INTEREST THAT WE'VE EARNED YEAR TO DATE JUST IN THE GENERAL FUND ALONE IS 219,000. ON THE EXPENSE SIDE. UM NOT MUCH IN TERMS OF EXPENDITURES, PAYROLL SALARY BENEFITS. THAT'S THE BULK OF THE EXPENSES THAT ARE GOING OUT THE DOOR AS OF THIS POINT IN TIME. UM ARE ACTUAL EXPENSES YEAR TO DATE 12. SO THAT'S UNDER THAT BENCHMARK? AND JUST FROM A TABULAR VIEW. THIS IS IN YOUR PACKET HERE. FOR THOSE THAT LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE TABLE. IT'S THE SAME INFORMATION, BUT IT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND, UM, EXPENSE CATEGORIES. FOR JUST A FUN SUMMERY IN THE BALANCE YEARS OWED, UM, THE ACTUAL BEGINNING FUND BALANCE RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S A 14 MILLION, BUT THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE AS SOON AS WE GET THE FY 23 AUDIT COMPLETE, UM THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE. UM BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE TARGETED, UM, ARE ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. 24 IS ABOUT 16 MILLION. GOING INTO THE UTILITY FUND. THE REVENUES THAT WE'VE RECEIVED YEAR TO DATE, UM ABOUT 3.56 MILLION, BUT THIS ALSO INCLUDES FUNDS THAT WILL BE CRUDE BACK TO SEPTEMBER. THAT WERE, UM WE RECEIVED IN FISCAL 24. BUT IT WAS 1ST SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER CYCLES, SO THAT WILL BE ADJUSTED WHEN YOU SEE THE DECEMBER REPORT. ON THE EXPENSE SIDE AGAIN, NOT MUCH EXPENDITURES OTHER THAN SALARY AND BENEFITS AT THIS POINT UM, SO THE EXPENDITURES ARE AT 7.6% OF THE BUDGET. AND TO SHOW YOU OUR WATER LOSS AT THIS POINT FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS, AND ON AVERAGE IS ABOUT 27.5. BASED ON WHAT'S BEEN PUMPED VERSUS WHAT'S BEEN BILLED. AND AGAIN JUST SHOWING YOU THE TABLE FORMAT HERE. SAME INFORMATION BROKEN DOWN IN THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES HAVE A QUESTION TO THE WATER, OKAY? OH EXPLAIN HOW THERE'S A GAP AND THEN THEN THERE'S TWO AREAS LIKE IN FEBRUARY AND SEPTEMBER WERE. THOSE ARE RIGHT UPON EACH OTHER. SURE. NOW YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO BE EXACT. IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, DAY TO DAY. UM YOU KNOW, MATCH UP, BUT SO THE INFORMATION OR GATHERING ON A MONTHLY BASIS? UM SO THERE'S THE PUMPED. SO WHAT WE KNOW WE'VE PUMPED INTO THE CITY WHAT WE'VE PUMPED INTO THE TANKS, UM, IS COMPARING WHAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN BILLED IN THE CYCLES, UM, TO THE CUSTOMERS, THE, UH RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THE COMMERCIAL ALL OF THE CUSTOMERS, AND SO YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO KIND OF SEE THAT GAP AS YOU AS YOU GO ALONG, AND SOMETIMES YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, CLOSER IN NATURE, BUT ON ON AVERAGE WHITE KIND OF LOOKED AT A 12 MONTH TIME PERIOD. JUST SHOW YOU THAT WE CONSISTENTLY YOU KNOW, LOSING ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE WATER BASED ON WHAT WE PUMPED VERSUS WHAT WE ACTUALLY BUILD, AND THAT COULD BE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. YOU KNOW THERE'S VARIOUS REPAIRS AND THINGS THAT WE'RE MAKING. UM AND OLDER INFRASTRUCTURE OLDER, YOU KNOW ME OR THAT SORT OF THING, SO I MEAN, IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE ZERO. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING, BUT IT JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT WE SHOW WE PUMPED. VERSUS WHAT WE SHOW WE BUILD. AND I DON'T KNOW IT'S HARD BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD RECORDS AND STUFF.

SO WHAT? WHAT WOULD YOU THINK THE AVERAGE WOULD BE WITHIN THE LAST LAST YEAR FOR THE YEAR BEFORE LAST? ASK YOUR QUESTION AGAIN. I'M SORRY. WHAT THE AVERAGE IS BETWEEN MIGHT BE MORE OF A MATT BRYANT QUESTION. BUT BUT WHAT'S THE AVERAGE WILD AND WE WEREN'T 27.5 BASED UPON THIS.

WHERE WERE WE LAST YEAR WERE THE YEAR BEFORE. IS THERE ANY TREND. ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THAT SPECIFIC INFORMATION AS I DO NOT KNOW THAT. UM SO AGAIN ON UTILITY FIND, YOU KNOW WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD WITH KEEPING UP WITH OUR TARGET. UM, FUN BALANCE. AND JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF SOME OF THE OTHER FUNDS. SO IN THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX FUND, UM WE ARE OVER THAT 16.7%

[03:15:04]

BENCHMARK, AND IT'S MAINLY BECAUSE IF WE DID PAY OUT SOME GRANTS IN NOVEMBER, WE PAID TO EXPOSURE. WE PAID THE FINAL PERFORMANCE GRANT, UM TO THE HAMPTON INN AND AS WELL AS THE A L. W FOR THE DUNCANVILLE FOOTBALL CLASSIC. ON THE COMPREHENSIVE LIABILITY INSURANCE WE DID MAKE THE OCTOBER PREMIUM. SO WE PAY THAT UPFRONT. SO MOST OF THE EXPENSES YOU'LL SEE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. UM PERFECT FLEET REPLACEMENT. WE'VE EXPENDED 50% OF THE BUDGET. AT THIS POINT. WE PURCHASED SEVEN POLICE TAHOES AND AN AMBULANCE.

AND THEN JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS . AS YOU KNOW, AS YOU HEARD EARLIER THAT WE DID GET THAT TEMPORARY, UM, OPERA, UM, PERMIT FOR THE FIRE STATION ONE. SO, UM WE HAVE SPENT 8.8 MILLION TO DATE ON THAT, UM, ON SWAN RIDGE THAT'S ON TARGET AND WERE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE THAT IN MARCH. UM DANIEL DALE ROAD RECONSTRUCTION IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE. UM JUST SOME LANDSCAPING STILL REMAINS AGAIN. THIS IS AS OF THE END OF NOVEMBER. AND THEN, UM, HIGHLIGHTING CHERRY STREET CENTER STREET ALLEY THAT WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE SPRING. EXCUSE ME FOR INTERRUPTING. I SAW THAT IT WAS COLTON HAS COME FORWARD.

I THINK SHE MAY HAVE AN ANSWER TO MR MACK BURNETT'S QUESTION. OKAY, PERFECT. GOOD EVENING, UM JACQUELINE COLTON, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. UM THERE WAS A QUESTION RAISED REGARDING THE AVERAGE WATER LOSS. CURRENTLY THERE IS AROUND 20. YEAH, THANK YOU. AND THEN AND THEN. SO IT RELATES TO BUILDING SO WE'VE GOT TO STILL KIND OF A DIFFERENCE, WHICH I THINK IS KIND OF SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF THAT. ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE, UM FEBRUARY, UM PURCHASES AND. AND CONSUMPTION BEING NEARLY THE SAME IS UM, WHEN THERE IS, UH FREEZE. AND THERE IS WATER LOSS SUCH AS WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LAST TWO YEARS. THERE ARE OFTEN, UM, ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO BUILDING TO, UM DELETE. YOU KNOW SOME OF THAT? WATER CONSUMPTION FROM THE CUSTOMER'S BILLS. SO. THAT WOULD TEND TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON WHAT WAS BILL VERSUS YOU KNOW THE WATER USED. DID THAT. ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I JUST THINK WE NEED TO MOVE ON. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY, MR KOONTZ. THANK YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE FLEET REPLACEMENT. SO 50% IS THAT WE ON ON TRACK MEANS THAT ABOUT WHERE WE SHOULD BE THIS TIME OF YEAR. YOU KNOW FOR SOMETHING LIKE FLEET REPLACEMENT THAT CAN VARY DEPENDING ON OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE ORDERS ARE MADE, AND WHEN YOU KNOW WE PAY THE INVOICES, THAT SORT OF THING, SO THAT ONE IS NOT GOING TO BE COMPLETELY SMOOTH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO IT JUST AGAIN. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT'S BEING REPLACED WHEN IS BEING REPLACED. AND THEN, UM, WHEN WE ACTUALLY PAID THE BILL SO WE CAN BURY HAD QUITE A FEW.

PURCHASES AND EMERGENCY PURCHASES. WE GOT SOMETHING COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE, AND SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GETTING BEYOND YOU KNOW WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR AROUND UH, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS OUR SCHEDULE FOR THE YEAR, SO ABSOLUTELY. WE ARE BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE TRYING TO GET THOSE REPLACED AT A QUICKER PACE. SO YES, UM, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S EXPENSES AND IF WE HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU. WE DO HAVE THE FUND. YOU KNOW THAT'S BEEN SITTING IN THE FLEET REPLACEMENT FUND FOR THINGS THAT HADN'T BEEN, YOU KNOW, DONE ON THE TIMELY BASIS. SO, UM WE HAVE THE FUNDING. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S REALLY IT FROM A HIGH LEVEL. UM VIEW HERE. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, I JUST COULDN'T QUICKLY. UM I NOTICED THAT THIS WAS NOVEMBER. SO, UM, WE'VE NORMALLY DONE A MONTH BACK . SO IS THERE A REASON WHY WE WERE REPORTING TWO MONTHS BEHIND IN IN JANUARY, BUT WE CANCELED THAT MEETING. SO WE'RE TARGETING 45 DAYS AFTER THE CLOSING OF THE MONTH AND THE TIMING OF BEING ABLE TO PREPARE THE AGENDA IN THE IN THE REPORT AND EVERYTHING. IT'S ABOUT THE SECOND MEETING AFTER OKAY, PRESENTING IT TO YOU, BUT WE HAD PLANNED TO DO THIS IN JANUARY, BUT BECAUSE THAT MEETING WAS CANCELED, SO WE'LL BE DOING DECEMBER NEXT NEXT FEEDING PERFECT.
