[00:10:03]

MUCH. MEMBERS. ALL I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT. THE I C SC NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SHOPPING CENTERS THAT WAS HELD IN DALLAS SOME DAYS AGO. AND I WAS THERE ON THAT THURSDAY, AND IT WAS FULL OF CITIES AND PUBLIC BODIES ON THIS ENTIRE AREA. I WILL MENTION THAT THE DUNCANVILLE STAFF WAS THERE, AND I'LL JUST ALLOW SPACE FOR FURTHER REMARKS FROM THEM AS TO THEIR IMPRESSIONS OF IT. BUT PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE WAS THERE, BOTH CITIES, PUBLIC BODIES AND VENDORS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES WERE THERE, SO IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR ME TO BE THERE AND TO WITNESS FIRST HAND. THIS WORLD OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AT LEAST IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS UPDATE? MR. TO FOLLOW MR. HARVEY'S COMMENTS. THE ICSC WAS AMAZING. TIP OF THE HAT TO MR. BERRERA FOR ORGANIZING THAT AND GETTING HIS STAFF TOGETHER FOR THAT. MISS HANLEY. MISS LEWIS WERE THERE TO SET IT UP AND THEY KNOCKED IT OUT AND GOT IT DONE PRETTY PROMPTLY. AND IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EVENT. I WAS THERE THURSDAY AS WELL, AND THE INTERACTION BETWEEN OTHER CITIES DEVELOPERS AND. VISITORS COMING BY. I HEARD A LOT OF EXCELLENT COMMENTS ABOUT US BEING PRESENT AND BEING AT THE TABLE, AND I THINK THAT WAS SIGNIFICANT. AND AGAIN, A HUGE TIP OF THE HAT TO MR. FERRERA FOR THAT PARTICIPATION. HUGE EVENT. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR SHARING THAT.

[3.b. DIRECTOR’S REPORTS]

OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WE'LL GO TO ITEM NUMBER B UNDER REPORTS AND THAT WILL BE THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I'LL SHARE WITH THE BOARD.

ONE, THE PURCHASE SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE TOYOTA PROPERTY WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL AT THE LAST MEETING. WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE ENTERING INTO OUR 180 DAY INVESTIGATION PERIOD, WHICH AT THE END, THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE US WITH A MASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE SITE, WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL WILL REVIEW AND HAS TO APPROVE BEFORE THERE IS A SALE OF THE PROPERTY. ON TOP OF THAT, THERE WAS A DESIRE FOR FROM CITY COUNCIL TO RESTRICT CERTAIN USES ON THE PROPERTY. THOSE USES WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE APPROVED AGREEMENT, WHICH THE DEVELOPER HAD REVIEWED AND APPROVED AND ACCEPTED THOSE RESTRICTIONS PRIOR TO THE PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL. SO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I RECEIVED THE EXECUTED PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE DEVELOPER, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET IT SIGNED BY CITY MANAGER MR. FINCH, AND WE WILL PROCEED WITH WITH THOSE DEVELOPMENT PLANS. SO THAT'S OUT THERE. BOARD TRAINING. I WANTED TO SCHEDULE A SPECIAL MEETING, AN OFF MEETING NIGHT, IF YOU WILL, TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH SOME TRAINING. WE RECENTLY HAD APPOINTMENT OF NEW MEMBERS, APPOINTMENT OF NEW MEMBERS TO CERTAIN POSITIONS. I MR. GOLF TO THE ROLE OF PRESIDENT. AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH TRAINING ABOUT THE CORPORATION, WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT RESPONSIBILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, FUNDING SOURCES, ETCETERA. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MR. SHELBY EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, AND WE WILL BE COORDINATING THOSE SCHEDULES, BUT I'VE ASKED MR. SHELBY TO LEAD THE CHARGE ON PROVIDING THAT TRAINING TO THE BOARD HERE. WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, BUT I'LL I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED. BUT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT AS PART OF THAT ON THAT SAME EVENING. WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS ALSO HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP AND HAVE OUR BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR COME AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE BUDGET, WHAT IT MEANS, WHERE THE FUNDS ARE COMING FROM, WHAT WE'RE DOING TO PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR.

[00:15:02]

AND AGAIN, THAT'S JUST ON AN OFF MEETING. I DON'T INTEND TO HAVE THAT ON A REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING, AS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THE MEETING FOR GRANTS AND OTHER BUSINESS. BUT AGAIN, WE CERTAINLY FIND IT A BENEFIT AND A NEED TO HAVE TRAINING AND A BUDGET WORKSHOP.

AND ALONG THOSE LINES, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON A RULES OF PROCEDURE OR A MEETING SCRIPT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR ATTORNEY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION ABOUT WHEN TO MAKE THE MOTION TO SECOND WITHDRAWING AND YOU KNOW, WHEN TO WITHDRAW, WHEN TO TAKE ATTENDANCE, WHEN IS IT NOT WHEN DO YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER AND WHAT I'LL CALL OR DEFINE AS A MEETING SCRIPT. I WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR WITH OUR ATTORNEY ON THAT SCRIPT. AND ONCE IT'S BEEN FINALIZED, I WILL SHARE THAT WITH YOU. AND WHAT I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW IS THAT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH THAT. RULES OF PROCEDURES AT THE BOARD ON THE EVENING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING THE BOARD TRAINING IS JUST, YOU KNOW, A THOUGHT THAT COMES TO MIND, CONFLICT OF INTEREST FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE IS A THERE MAY BE A GRANT APPLICATION OR SPONSORSHIP REQUESTS THAT MAY BE DEEMED AS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BY A BOARD MEMBER AND IN WHICH AND WHEN THOSE INSTANCES HAPPEN AND THEY DO COME, WE ASK THAT THE BOARD MEMBER ABSTAIN FROM TAKING ANY ACTION ON THAT MATTER AND FILL OUT THE AFFIDAVIT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST. I WILL BE SHARING THIS WITH YOU VIA EMAIL. I HAVE A FEW PAPER COPIES IF YOU'D LIKE THAT YOU CAN SEE IT, BUT I WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOU AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM. AND I HAD SHARED WITH YOU PREVIOUSLY THAT WE WERE WORKING ON TAKING A LOOK AT THE RECENTLY APPROVED GRANTS AND WHERE THEY WERE AT. YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE COMPLETION STATUS, SOME GRANTS WERE HAVE BEEN THE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THE APPLICANTS HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED. OTHERS HAVE NOT. AS OF LAST WEEK, WE SENT OUT, THERE WERE A TOTAL OF WAS IT 6 OR 7 LETTERS, SEVEN LETTERS THAT WERE SENT OUT TO PREVIOUS, PREVIOUSLY AWARDED GRANTEES INQUIRING ABOUT THE STATUS OF THEIR OF THEIR PROJECT BECAUSE THEY WERE DEEMED TO BE WAY BEYOND THE COMPLETION DEADLINE THAT THEY WERE GIVEN. WE'D ASK THEM TO PROVIDE US WITH AN UPDATE. DEPENDING ON WHAT INFORMATION GET BACK FROM THESE APPLICANTS, WE MAY NEED TO COME TO YOU SEEKING AN EXTENSION OR FOR THAT MATTER, SEEKING A REPEAL OF THOSE ORIGINAL GRANTS AS THE PROJECT MAY NOT BE MOVING FORWARD ANYMORE. BUT IN THOSE LETTERS WE HAVE, WE'VE ESTIMATED THAT THE TOTAL GRANT VALUE IS OF APPROXIMATELY 600,000. SIX $600,000, 606,000 $606,000 TOTAL GRANTS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT WE'RE SEEKING TO GET AN UPDATE ON. AND LIKE I SAID, WE ARE EITHER GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH REPEALING THOSE OR PROVIDING AN EXTENSION. WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING THIS BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING, OR FOR THAT MATTER, WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM NOW. MR. BURTON. YES. IF THERE'S AN EXTENSION, THEY'LL COME BACK TO THE BOARD, CORRECT TO THE BOARD. AND I'M THINKING ULTIMATELY THROUGH CITY COUNCIL, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO WORK OUT THOSE DETAILS. THERE WAS ONE THAT WE HEARD BACK FROM THIS AFTERNOON THAT HIS REQUESTING A 90 DAY EXTENSION, THAT WE WOULD TRY TO GET READY FOR YOU HERE SOON TO PRESENT THE REQUEST AND THE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES BEHIND THE COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND WORK THROUGH THAT. ALL RIGHT. I SEE A GOOD TURNOUT, A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TEAM, FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO NETWORK WITH A NUMBER OF REAL ESTATE BROKERS, END USERS.

WE HAVE SOME PRODUCTIVE MEETINGS. WE WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH THE REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATIVE THERE. WE WERE ACTUALLY ALMOST NEIGHBORS, IF YOU WILL, AT THE AT THE SHOW.

AND REALLY, WE COULDN'T HAVE PULLED OUT. THIS WAS REALLY A TEAM EFFORT. THE ENTIRE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM JUST GOT IT TOGETHER. AND SO I REALLY CAN'T TAKE ALL THE CREDIT. IT WAS REALLY AND TRULY A TEAM EFFORT. AND RIGHT AROUND THAT TIME, WE HAD A FEW TEAM MEMBERS THAT WERE OUT SICK. AND SO WE DID THE BEST WE COULD WITH WHAT WE HAD, AND WE STILL MANAGED TO BE THERE AND BE BACK HERE FOR OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS. SO IT WAS IT WAS AN EVENTFUL WEEK, TO SAY THE LEAST, BUT CERTAINLY A GOOD EXPERIENCE, GOOD CONVERSATIONS. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, TOMORROW WE HAVE A COMMUNITY TOUR THAT WE'RE PROVIDING TO A DEVELOPER THAT, YOU KNOW, TRUTH BE TOLD, WE HAD ACTUALLY HAD A MEETING BEFORE THE CONFERENCE, BUT WE MET WITH MEMBERS OF THEIR TEAM AT THE SHOW, AND WE'VE KEPT IN COMMUNICATION, AND WE WERE GOING TO BE TAKING THEM OUT

[00:20:06]

TOMORROW. TOMORROW MORNING, ON A TOUR OF AVAILABLE SITES AND OPPORTUNITIES. SO THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOR THE TIME BEING. OKAY. SO FOR BASED ON THE ITEMS AND UPDATE, I KNOW WE HAD SOME INITIAL COMMENTS BEFORE WE REPORT ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF OR GENERAL COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION. I HAVE ONE COMMENT WITH RESPECT OR I GUESS A QUESTION WITH RESPECT TO THE. I GUESS, WHAT WE'RE DESCRIBING AS THE TOYOTA PROPERTY, WHERE THERE'S THE PROPOSED MASTER DEVELOPER BEING A HOTEL AND THE PROPOSED PURCHASE SALE AGREEMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED LAST COUNCIL MEETING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S MOVING TOWARDS EXECUTION. THE QUESTION WAS, CURRENT TITLE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS THE CITY OF GLEN HEIGHTS OR CDC? CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. SORRY. CITY OF DUNCAN. YEAH, YEAH, THE CITY IS THE CURRENT. SO HOW DO WE, WITH RESPECT TO THAT TRANSACTION, COMPLY WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE THAT REQUIRES THAT SPEAKS TO DISPOSITION OF REAL PROPERTY. IF IT'S NOT PUT UP FOR COMPETITIVE BID? OR IS IT BECAUSE IT'S PART OF A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL? MAYBE. I KNOW THAT PROPERTY HAS BEEN BEFORE THIS BOARD FOR WE PAY FOR PHASE ONE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD REGULAR UPDATES, BUT I WAS CURIOUS BECAUSE IN OTHER DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WE NEEDED TO KEEP TITLE TO CORPORATION TO EXECUTE THAT. MAYBE YOU CAN JUST SHARE THAT FOR THE BOARD. HOW WE WE'RE STILL ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT. YEAH. SO GOOD QUESTION. SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT BACK ALMOST A YEAR AGO, BACK IN MARCH 2024, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED BY WAY OF RESOLUTION, THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP FROM THE CITY TO THE CDC OF TWO PROPERTIES, ONE BEING THE TOYOTA PROPERTY AND THE OTHER PROPERTY BEING THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY SELLING TO, SELLING TO AND FOR THE PROJECT. SO THAT RESOLUTION AND THAT TRANSFER WAS APPROVED. BUT IN OUR RESEARCH, THE ACTUAL DEED, THE QUITCLAIM DEED WAS NOT PREPARED. AND THAT OFFICIAL TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP DIDN'T HAPPEN AND WASN'T RECORDED WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE COUNTY. OKAY. SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS A SITUATION THAT WHILE IT HAD BEEN APPROVED BY WAY OF RESOLUTION, THE OFFICIAL TRANSFER HAS NOT TAKEN, TAKEN PLACE. AND SO THE REALITY IS, IS THAT IT'S CITY COUNCIL, EXCUSE ME, NOT CITY COUNCIL, BUT THE CITY CONTINUES TO HOLD OWNERSHIP UNTIL WE HAVE THAT TRANSFER. WE'VE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR CITY ATTORNEY, MR. HAGER, AND HE'S SUGGESTED THAT AT THE CLOSING, WE COULD DO A DOUBLE CLOSING AND HAVE IT TRANSFER FROM THE CITY TO THE CORPORATION AND THE CORPORATION, THEN TO THE TO THE ENTITY, BUT DO IT WITHIN THAT TRANSACTION. OKAY. THE REASON WHY I ASK IS I CLEARLY BEEN LOOKING AT THE AGENDA DOCUMENTS, THE PROPERTY STILL IN THE OWNERSHIP CITY. AND DUSTIN BEEN WITH THAT GOVERNING BODY AND NOT. THE CDC. AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS. I KNOW LIKE I SAID, WE'VE HAD SOME UPDATES, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL WE ACTUALLY HAD THE CITY COUNCIL SESSION THAT WE LEARNED MORE OF THE DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT TERMS. AND SO I WAS CURIOUS, BECAUSE I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION I KNOW WE HAD THAT THAT ACTION, THAT COUNCIL ACTION, THAT THE PROPERTY WOULD BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE CORPORATION AND WITH IT, THAT EXPECTATION THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT STAFF, WITH THE GUIDANCE, SUPPORT FROM THE FROM THE BOARD THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'D ADVANCE OUR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. BUT NONETHELESS, I'M EXCITED. OFFERED MY CONGRATULATIONS TO A FEW OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO I'LL DO THE SAME WITH THE STAFF. THANK YOU. AND IT IS STILL THE DESIRE FOR THESE PROPERTIES TO BE IN THE HANDS OF THE CORPORATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS ONE THAT JUST IT DIDN'T ALL HAPPEN ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST SO MUCH CHANGE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT AND THE ORGANIZATION THAT WHEN I DID THE RESEARCH, YOU KNOW, I JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT WASN'T FULLY COMPLETED AND HENCE WHAT WE HAD, THE SITUATION THAT WE HAD. BUT MOVING FORWARD, THESE PROPERTIES WILL REMAIN UNDER THE CORPORATION'S AUTHORITY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANY OTHER COMMENTS. SO THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM FOUR ON OUR

[4.a. DCEDC GRANTS AND HOT FUNDS REPORT YTD THRU DECEMBER 31, 2024]

AGENDA. AND IT WILL BE TO RECEIVE AND DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING REPORTS. RIGHT. SO

[00:25:03]

ITEM A IS CDC GRANTS AND HOT FUNDS REPORT YEAR TO DATE THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2024. SO REALLY I'VE TAKEN THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THE BOARD A CHANCE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY MAY HAVE REGARDING ANY OF THE REPORTS THAT WE'VE PROVIDED HERE. IN THE RECENT PAST, WE HAD DONE AWAY WITH PROVIDING THEM IN YOUR PACKET, AND AS PART OF INCLUDING THEM AS PART OF THE AGENDA. WE HAVE BEEN SENDING THEM OUT TO YOU THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS VIA EMAIL AS PART OF THE REGULAR DIRECTOR'S UPDATES, AND PROVIDING THE BOARD WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK STAFF ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE HAVE HAD REGARDING THE REVIEW OF ANY OF THOSE SPECIFIC REPORTS, ANY SPECIFIC LINE ITEMS, AND WE HAD NOT. WE RECEIVED SOME COMMENTS. WE'VE SEEN SOME QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD ADDRESSED. BUT AGAIN, REALLY THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING ANY OF THE SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY SENT VIA EMAIL TO YOU IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, AS WELL. QUESTION. CAN WE FOLLOW UP WITH YOU WITH QUESTIONS? I PERSONALLY AM STILL GOING TO DO THE MATERIAL, SO ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHAT WE FOUND, THAT AT LEAST WE FOUND THAT IT WAS BEST TO GIVE THE REPORT VIA EMAIL AND GIVE THE BOARD MEMBERS AMPLE TIME TO REVIEW IT AND NOT FEEL THAT THEY WERE LIMITED, OR THERE WAS A TIME LIMIT AS TO WHEN THE REPORTS HAD TO BE REVIEWED AND QUESTIONS ASKED. BUT NO, ABSOLUTELY YOU CAN. YOU CAN ASK WHENEVER YOU'RE READY AND WHENEVER YOU FINISH COMPLETING THE REVIEW OF ALL THE REPORTS. I KNOW THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THERE THAT WERE PROVIDED TO YOU. JUST AS A BIT OF BACKGROUND, THESE REPORTS I KNOW PREVIOUSLY THESE TYPE OF REPORTS WERE INCLUDED ON EVERY MONTHLY AGENDA, AND THEY WERE REMOVED A FEW MONTHS AGO IN AN EFFORT TO STREAMLINE THE MEETINGS. BECAUSE THESE THESE REPORTS ARE INFORMATIVE IN NATURE AND DON'T REQUIRE. ANY ACTION. BUT THE MR. BARRERA AND THE STAFF FELT IT WOULD BE MORE IT WOULD STREAMLINE MEETINGS A LITTLE MORE AND MORE PRODUCTIVE FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS TO RECEIVE THEM VIA EMAIL AND GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THE QUESTIONS. THEN HE ASKED ME IF THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE THESE THESE REPORTS ON THE MONTHLY AGENDA. I LOOKED INTO IT AND NO, THERE, NO, THERE IS NOT BECAUSE THERE'S NO ACTION REQUIRED. AND SO IF IT'S THE BOARD'S DESIRE, THERE WAS ALSO SOME QUESTIONS, I BELIEVE, FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE REPORTS.

THESE REPORTS ARE PUBLIC INFORMATION. THEY ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT AND THE TEXAS OPEN RECORDS ACT. THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ON MAYBE FIGURING OUT A WAY TO MAKE THEM READILY AVAILABLE VIA THE WEBSITE, AND WE'RE LOOKING INTO WHETHER THERE IS ANY CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUES WITH THAT. BUT JUST FOR THE BOARD'S INFORMATION AND FOR THE PUBLIC'S INFORMATION, THESE, THESE ALL THESE REPORTS ARE, ARE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IF REQUESTED. IF IT'S THE BOARD'S DESIRE TO HAVE THEM IN YOUR IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET AND LISTED AS AN AGENDA ITEM ON THE MONTHLY MEETINGS, THAT CERTAINLY ALLOWED. AND SINCE ITS AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT, IF THE BOARD SO WISHES, WE COULD HAVE THAT DISCUSSION, HAVE THE BOARD KIND OF DECIDE BE A MOTION ORDER IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE INCLUDED IN THE MONTHLY AGENDA AND LISTED AS AN AGENDA ITEM, OR IF THEY WOULD PREFER RECEIVING THEM VIA EMAIL AND GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO COMMENT AND ASK QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO THE DIRECTOR OR STAFF. OKAY, TO THE BOARD. THIS IS RIGHT. THIS IS AN AGENDA ITEM. SO ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS, COMMENTS, PREFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO THIS? PROCEDURE ITEM? I GUESS I WOULD HAVE A QUESTION.

I LIKE GETTING THEM ELECTRONIC. I ALSO LIKE THEM IN PAPER FORM TOO, SO YOU KNOW IT GIVES YOU THE CHANCE TO LOOK AT BOTH OF THEM. CAN WE HAVE A COPY AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC IF THEY WANT? WOULD LIKE A COPY THAT THEY COULD TAKE ONE WITH THEM. AND. SO THAT WAY THERE, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THESE IS PUBLIC INFORMATION. SO YES, IF STAFF IS ALREADY DEVELOPING A BUDGET OR A COPY OF THESE FOR US, THAT THEY HAVE A PRINTED COPY AVAILABLE, THEY NEED TO MAKE ADDITIONAL COPIES OR TAKE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THEY CAN GET THEM A COPY. THE QUICK ANSWER IS YES, BUT BECAUSE VICTOR ASKED THAT QUESTION OF ME AND I, MY QUESTION TO HIM WAS,

[00:30:04]

WELL, IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE THAT'S THAT'S CONFIDENTIAL AND WOULD NEED TO BE REDACTED? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WOULD BE. AND IF NOT, THEN YES, OF COURSE THEY COULD BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC. BUT I DO LIKE THE ELECTRONIC AND TRYING TO GET BETTER AT THAT. THANKS. GREAT, GREAT. I LIKE TO USE WE CAN GO BOTH WAYS. AND I SPENT SO MUCH OF MY CAREER JUST PUSHING PAPER, WORKING WITH PAPER. I GUESS I, FOR THE SAKE OF HABIT. I'M OLD SCHOOL AND JUST LIKE HAVING THE PAPER IN MY HAND, BUT I THINK MINE IS RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD IN THAT ONCE YOU ALL, YOU KNOW, HAVE THIS MATERIAL IN ELECTRONIC FORM, YOU CAN SEND IT TO ME AND I CAN PRINT OUT WHAT I NEED TO SAY. AND I GUESS THE QUESTION FOR THE BOARD FROM STAFF IS, DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE SEEING THEM AS A LISTED AGENDA ITEM, OR DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THE PAPER COPIES AVAILABLE TO YOU OR GIVEN TO YOU? AND THEN YOU CAN ASK YOUR QUESTIONS? DIRECTLY TO THE STAFF? OH, GO AHEAD, I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. I VOTE TO HAVE ONLY MANDATORY THINGS ON THE AGENDA SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REVIEW IT HERE. I'D RATHER JUST HAVE IT ELECTRONIC OR PEOPLE TAKE THE COPIES. SO IT COULD REALLY TAKE THE TIME DURING THESE MEETINGS TO FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS THAT ARE MANDATORY FOR THE BOARD TO FOCUS ON. GREAT. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STAFF AND IF I MAY, JUST TO PROVIDE A BIT MORE CONTEXT, WE FOUNDED A BENEFIT TO PROVIDING YOU THE BOARD. YOU THE BOARD, THE REPORTS ELECTRONICALLY BECAUSE AS I STATED, IT GAVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE REPORTS AND GIVE ASK THE QUESTIONS THAT WE MAY ASK, QUESTIONS THAT IN SOME CASES WE MAY HAVE THE ANSWER, BUT IN SOME CASES WE NOT AND GET THE ANSWERS FROM OUR BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR AND REPORT, AS OPPOSED TO BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE WE'RE DISCUSSING IT. AND YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS, HAVE QUESTIONS OF ITEMS THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE ANSWER TO AND THEN HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ANY ANYWAYS, THAT THERE IS THAT LIBERTY AND THAT FREEDOM, IF YOU WILL, TO ASK, ASK AWAY AND WE'D GET IT TO YOU WITHIN SHORT ORDER THOSE QUESTIONS AND SHARE THE ANSWER WITH EVERYONE SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THE COMMUNICATION. THE OTHER PART REALLY IS, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IS TO STREAMLINE THE FLOW OF THE STRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, OF THE MEETING HERE. HERE. WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WHERE THEY'VE BEEN NO MORE THAN TWO HOURS, IF NOT LESS AND NOT LESS THAN THAT.

AND I'M JUST LOOKING AT MY CLOCK. WE ARE AT 641 AND WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT OTHER BUSINESS, AND WE REALLY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS ON THERE. SO OFTENTIMES YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE APPLICANTS AND WAITING 30, 45 MINUTES FOR THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THEIR ITEM. AND I IT WAS MY DESIRE TO HAVE THEM SPEAK EARLIER IN THE MEETING AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT AS LONG. SO YOU TO PRESENT, PRESENT THE CASE. I WOULD I WOULD THEN AGREE WITH BOARD MEMBER MISS PAYNE AND JUST TAKE IT OFF THE AGENDA AND IS AS LONG AS THEY ARE SUBMITTED TO US ON A TIMELY BASIS. THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN. AND I KNOW DURING THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE FISCAL YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE A DELAY BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE AUDITORS. SO OUTSIDE OF THAT, IF WE CAN, IF YOU ALL CAN KEEP A TIMELY LINE OF COMMUNICATION, I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH TAKING IT OFF THE AGENDA. OKAY, I APPRECIATE THAT AND I DO MY BEST TO PROVIDE THEM TO YOU AS SOON AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE TO ME. BUT OFTENTIMES, I'M ALSO KEEPING IN MIND THE FACT THAT YOU'RE BUSY AND WANT TO MAYBE KEEP THE EMAILS TO A MINIMUM AND USE THE OPPORTUNITY. IF I SEND AN EMAIL TO PROVIDE OTHER UPDATES AND INCLUDE THE MONTHLY REPORTS. SO SOMETIMES I'LL DELAY A LITTLE BIT IN THE DELIVERY OF THE REPORTS TO GIVE YOU OTHER MATERIAL AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, OTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, GRANT UPDATES, ETC. TO JUST MAKE THAT EMAIL, YOU KNOW, OF GREATER SUBSTANCE. BUT I THINK THERE'S A WAY WHERE IT'S REMOVED FROM ITEM FOUR, BUT IT STILL WOULD FIT UNDER ITEM THREE, B DIRECTOR'S REPORTS LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY SENDING THE REPORTS ELECTRONICALLY, AND WE HAVE A STANDING ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR DIRECTOR'S REPORT. THESE ARE REPORTS THAT THE

[00:35:02]

DIRECTOR AND THE STAFF OF THE PARENT. SO IF THERE NEED TO BE A QUESTION ABOUT MAIN STATION, MONTHLY FINANCIALS OR GRANTS OR HIGH FUNDS, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE IT COULD BE COVERED STILL DURING THAT SECTION, AND WE CAN FREE UP AN ENTIRE AGENDA ITEM SO WE'D BE REMOVING IT. BUT WE POINT TO WHERE IT COULD STILL BE DISCUSSED AND FIT AS AN ITEM OF THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, THIS DOESN'T NEED TO BE A MOTION. FOR DISCUSSION. IT'S FOR DISCUSSION. AND WE HAVE THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD. AND IF SOMEONE ON THE BOARD DECIDES THAT THEY WANT THEM BACK ON THE AGENDA, THEY CAN ALWAYS TELL US YOURSELF OR OKAY, MR. MORALE. OKAY. THANK

[5.a. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2025-2-4 APPROVING A SPONSORSHIP FOR THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (PIP) IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000.00 AND AUTHORIZE THE PRESIDENT TO EXECUTE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.]

YOU. OKAY. MOVING ON. WE'RE AT NUMBER FIVE ON OUR AGENDA. THAT'S PUBLIC HEARINGS. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME AND I'LL READ. WE HAVE TWO ITEMS, A AND B, I'LL READ THEM EACH SEPARATELY. OKAY. SO PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN. AND AFTER I READ THE ITEMS, I'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYONE IN ATTENDANCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM IN FAVOR OF OR IN OPPOSITION OR JUST THE GENERAL COMMENT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS A CONDUCT, A PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2020 5-2- FOR APPROVING A SPONSORSHIP FOR THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. PIP IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000 AND AUTHORIZE THE PRESIDENT TO EXECUTE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. OKAY, IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS ITEM? IF YOU DO SO, YOU CAN STAND AT EITHER END OF THE ROOM. JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND IT COULD BE YOUR BUSINESS ADDRESS. IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE GIVING THE PHYSICAL ADDRESS. YOU KNOW OKAY. AND WE'LL ASK PRESIDENT GOFF IF WE CAN JUST REFRAIN FROM UNTIL THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. IS THAT OKAY TO DO THE PUBLIC COMMENT AFTER THE PRESENTATION. YES. YES OKAY. PARDON ME. RIGHT. WE WILL STILL RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO SHOWED UP TO SPEAK OKAY. ALL RIGHT STAFF THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. BOARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. SO OF COURSE FIVE A IS SPONSORSHIP REQUESTS FOR THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BETTER KNOWN AS PIP. AND THE AMOUNT OF $5,000. SO THIS PROGRAM IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH HERE IN DUNCANVILLE AND THE CITY'S NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY COMMISSION. THIS PARTNERSHIP WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2016. AND WHAT THIS IS, IT RESULTS IN TWICE A YEAR. THEY HAVE WHAT'S KNOWN AS A PIP DAYS, WHICH SERVE RESIDENTS IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE EXTERIOR OF THEIR HOMES OR FENCE REPAIRS OR YARD WORK. AND THESE APPLICATIONS ARE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, WHICH THEY VET THEM AND REVIEW THEM BASED ON THE LEVEL OF NEED OR THE RESIDENTS INABILITY TO CARRY OUT THESE PROJECTS ON THEIR OWN, WHETHER THAT BE FINANCIALLY, A FINANCIAL REASON, A PHYSICALLY LIMITING REASON OR OTHERWISE. AND OVERALL, THE PROGRAM IS CARRIED OUT WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM VOLUNTEERS WHO ASSIST ON THIS DAY, THEIR GRANT REQUEST IS IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000, WHICH WOULD COVER BOTH DAYS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

SO THIS WOULD BE $5,000 TECHNICALLY FOR TWO DIFFERENT DAYS WORTH OF SERVICE PROJECTS.

AND JUST TO GIVE A VISUAL, THEY'VE PROVIDED PHOTOS OF BEFORE AND AFTER ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS, WHICH I'M GOING OVER ONE IN SPECIFIC IN SPECIFICALLY, THESE ARE SOME BEFORE IMAGES OF THE EXTERIOR WHICH THEY COMPLETED WORK ON. AND THEN THESE ARE PHOTOS OF THE WORK BEING COMPLETED IN PROGRESS. AND THE WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE COMPLETING THESE PROJECTS FOR THESE RESIDENTS IN NEED. AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THESE ARE VERY WORTHWHILE, WORTHWHILE PROJECTS. AND THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT THE CITY IS VERY BLESSED AND HONORED TO HAVE. AND NOW, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD AT THIS TIME. MY NAME IS SUE CLARK AND

[00:40:02]

I'M PART OF THE PIP PROGRAM. THERE WAS ONE. CHANGE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. IT WAS ACTUALLY STARTED BY THE METHODIST CHURCH. BUT WE HAVE BROKEN OFF AND WE ARE A 500 AND 1C3 THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THE PEOPLE AT THE METHODIST CHURCH, ME BEING ONE OF THEM, AND GEORGE. BUT WE ALSO ON OUR BOARD HAVE PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, FROM SEVERAL OTHER CHURCHES, NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE THEY'RE CHURCHES, BUT BUT WE HAVE A BOARD THAT IS A IS MORE VERSATILE THAN JUST THE METHODIST. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. WE USE THEIR THEIR FACILITIES. BUT BUT WE'RE BASICALLY A SEPARATE ORGANIZATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CLARIFYING THAT. NO, I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? OKAY. WE'LL TAKE A SECOND. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS OR STAFF BASED ON THE PRESENTATION OF THE ITEMS DISCUSSED? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE I BELIEVE WE HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. THE GENTLEMAN JUST REAL QUICK WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AND GEORGE QUINN. COME UP HERE. YES, SIR.

I'M TAKING OVER AS A POINT OF CONTACT. SUE IS ACTUALLY LISTED. PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. I GUESS I'M THE PRESIDENT. AND WE ARE? WE HAVE A SEPARATE BOARD. 500 1C3. I WANTED TO JUST PERSONALLY THANK THIS GROUP FOR THE SPONSORSHIP LAST YEAR. THE MONEY CAME IN. IT WAS VERY USEFUL. AND WE DID 4 OR 5 PROPERTIES ACTUALLY. THAT WAS ONE OF THEM. THAT WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING ONE. THIS TIME. WE'VE GOT FOUR APPLICATIONS THIS TIME ALREADY AND I EXPECT A COUPLE MORE COMING IN. SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THOSE FOR OUR SPRING PICK DAYS. AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE FUNDS. ALMOST ALL THE MONEY WE SPEND GOES TOWARDS SUPPLIES OR TOOL RENTAL. WE HAVE TO WE ARE LOOKING AT HAVING A BANQUET TO THANK OUR SPONSORS AND VOLUNTEERS, WHICH WE'VE GOT OUT OF THE HABIT AFTER COVID, SO WE'RE STARTING THAT UP AGAIN.

REALLY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. THANKS, MA'AM. PATRICIA EBERT 115 SOUTH GREEN STONE 75116I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION. ONE OF THE SLIDES STATED THAT ITS INCORPORATION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY COMMISSION. I'M NOT SURE THAT COMMISSION IS STILL CURRENT. I KNOW IT WAS, BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT TODAY THAT COMMISSION IS STILL VIABLE. OKAY. THANK YOU.

MR. CARD. ANY ANY ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR THOUGHTS FOR, FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING PORTION, THIS ITEM, MR. HARVEY THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. DUFF. I, I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. I HAVE LOVED THIS PROGRAM SINCE IT BEGAN AND I JUST BELIEVE THAT THIS THIS IS AN INITIATIVE THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS, YOU HAVE PEOPLE GOING IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER AND BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. SO I HAVE BEEN A SUPPORTER. I AM A SUPPORTER AND WILL PROBABLY ALWAYS BE A SUPPORTER. AND IF I IF I COULD PAINT, I'D GO OUT THERE WITH.
