[00:10:01]

ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED. AS YOU REMEMBER THIS ITEM CAME BEFORE YOU AT THE LAST DC EDC MEETING AND WAS PRESENTED AS A BRIEFING. SO THAT BACKGROUND INFORMATION, AGAIN, THE ACADEMY WAS ESTABLISHED HERE IN DUNCANVILLE IN 2019 AT 1210 SOUTH MAIN STREET, AND IT FOLLOWED THE SUCCESS OF THE DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS FADES BARBERSHOP LOCATION AT 212 NORTH MAIN STREET, WHICH OPENED IN 2015 AND WAS ALSO A PRECURSOR TO THE SECOND TEXAS FADES LOCATION AT 1206 SOUTH MAIN STREET, WHICH OPENED IN 2023. MR. TREJO HAS BEEN A LICENSED BARBER, BUSINESS OWNER AND INDUSTRY LEADER FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES. SO JUST REITERATING AGAIN FROM LAST TIME, MR. TREJO IS PROPERTY OWNER AT 212 NORTH MAIN STREET AND DID RECRUIT A BUSINESS THROUGH DE.LUCA TO BE A TENANT THERE, AND ALSO ASSISTED WITH THE RECRUITMENT OF DUMMY FRESH HATS AND APPAREL TO WHEATLAND PLAZA. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. TEXAS FADES IN THEIR TIME. SINCE 2019, HAVE GRADUATED OVER 500 STUDENTS. APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THE STUDENT POPULATION IS MADE UP OF STUDENTS LIVING HERE IN DUNCANVILLE, HAVING GRADUATED FROM EITHER VILLAGE TECH OR DUNCANVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, AND OVER 20 STUDENTS HAVE GONE ON TO OPEN THEIR OWN BARBER SHOPS, WITH TWO HERE IN THE DUNCANVILLE CITY LIMITS AND TEXAS FADES IS ALSO A CERTIFIED TEXAS WORKFORCE VENDOR FOR THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION. THESE ARE THE COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT THEY HOST ANNUALLY FOR LOCAL STUDENTS, AND THEY ARE DELIVERED BY STUDENTS AT THE ACADEMY. SO THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT THEY GIVE BACK DIRECTLY TO THE COMMUNITY IN SEVERAL WAYS. THE PROJECT OVERVIEW. THIS IS A BUSINESS EXPANSION PROJECT AND IT WILL INCLUDE ACQUISITION AND RENOVATION OF A CURRENT VACANT COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 1014 SOUTH MAIN, AND IT WILL REESTABLISH THE PROPERTY AS AN ATTRACTIVE, ACTIVE BUSINESS ON OUR SOUTH MAIN CORRIDOR, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY HELP TO INSPIRE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS TO REDEVELOP IN THIS AREA. THE ACQUISITION COST COMES IN AT 380,000, TOGETHER WITH DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS ESTIMATED AT ANOTHER 380,000, EQUALING A TOTAL PROJECT OF $760,000. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THAT PROPERTY, 1014 SOUTH MAIN STREET. IT IS ADJACENT TO THE COX FARMS MARKET. AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE IS FAMILY DOLLAR. THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AS PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE LANDSCAPING, NEW PAVED PARKING, EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS, ADDITIONS OF WINDOWS, AND OF COURSE, UPDATING THE FACADE. AND THIS PROJECT, IN ADDITION TO THE EXPANSION OF THE BARBER ACADEMY, IT WILL INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF THE GROWTH OF THE RETAIL, BARBER AND COSMETOLOGY SUPPLY STORE. MIDAS TOUCH. AS I MENTIONED, THE TWO GENTLEMEN HERE REPRESENTING THE PROJECT AND THEY ALSO SERVE. THEY WILL BE RUNNING THE THE RETAIL STORE, BUT THEY WILL ALSO SERVE AS INSTRUCTORS IN THE BARBER ACADEMY. AND THEY ARE GRADUATES OF TEXAS FADES BARBER ACADEMY.

SO THIS WILL HELP TO CREATE A MULTI REVENUE STREAM FOR THAT BUSINESS. FISCAL IMPACT TO THE CITY. THESE ARE THE SALES PROJECTIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED FOR FROM THE RETAIL SALES COMPONENT PROJECTING OUT FOR THREE YEARS. AND THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED FROM THE APPLICANTS. THEY'VE BEEN THEY'VE STARTED THE RETAIL CONCEPT IN JUNE OF 2025. SO IT'S AN ESTIMATED AS OF FEBRUARY 2026, THEY HAVE AN ESTIMATED 60,000 IN SALES, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING IN A SMALL OFFICE. IN THE BACK OF THE CURRENT TEXAS FADES BARBER SCHOOL. AND THEN, OF COURSE, BEYOND THE DIRECT FISCAL REVENUE, THE ACADEMY IS ESTIMATED TO GENERATE APPROXIMATELY 213 $200 IN ANNUAL LOCAL TRADE AREA SPENDING, WITH WITHIN DUNCANVILLE FROM STUDENTS, EMPLOYEES AND WALKING CUSTOMERS.

AND WITH THAT SECONDARY SALES TAX AT LOCAL RETAILERS. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF THEIR PROJECT.

THE TOP LINE UNDER SOURCE FOR THE OWNER'S PERSONAL INVESTMENT. AS YOU'LL SEE THERE, TOGETHER

[00:15:07]

WITH THE DEBT, THE CONSTRUCTION LOAN, WHICH THOSE TWO ITEMS ARE PRIVATELY, WOULD BE TAKEN ON DIRECTLY BY THE APPLICANT. THOSE TWO TOTALS 73, ALMOST 74% OF THE PROJECT SCOPE. WITH THE DC EDC, THE REQUEST IS 200,000 FROM THE APPLICANT FOR FROM THE DC EDC, AND THAT COMES IN AT 23%. IN ADDITION, WE ARE PRESENTING OPTIONS TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVING THIS AWARD INCENTIVE AS A FORGIVABLE LOAN, AND FOR EACH YEAR THE BUSINESS IS OPEN, A PERCENTAGE OF THE GRANT WOULD BE FORGIVEN. THIS IS AN OPTION THAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING. THE FIRST OPTION IS FOR TEN YEARS AND IT HAS THAT BREAKDOWN THAT EXECUTE WITH AN EXECUTION DATE OF APPROXIMATELY MAY 1ST OF THIS YEAR. THEN OF COURSE, TEN YEARS FROM THAT DATE WOULD BE MAY 1ST, 2036. THAT WOULD BE FORGIVING 20,000 ANNUALLY. AND THEN THE SECOND OPTION IS FOR FORGIVABLE LOAN SCHEDULE FOR FIVE YEARS. AND THAT WOULD BE FOR GIVING AN AN ANNUAL AMOUNT OF 40,000 WITH A MATURITY EXPIRATION DATE OF MAY 1ST, 2031. THANK YOU. STAFF, DOES ANY BOARD MEMBER HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF AT THIS TIME? IF NOT, THEN. COUNCILOR, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO IS TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND GIVE THE PUBLIC AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR MATTER. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE WILL HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP AND THE BOARD WILL ASK QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:26 P.M. AND. DO WE HAVE CARDS? NO, SIR. NO, SIR. NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR. OKAY. WELL, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO MUDDLE THROUGH. OKAY. SO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK FOR IN FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR INITIATIVE, WILL YOU COME FORWARD? YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU. NO MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WANTS TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE. OH, OKAY. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? OH, OKAY. NO. WILL YOU SPEAK, SIR? I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT TONIGHT BECAUSE HE'S IN TOWN. ALRIGHT. SO DO YOU WANT ME TO WAIT? NO NO NO, NO, I CAN GO AHEAD. OKAY. GO AHEAD. OKAY. I'M MARNIE ANDERSON AT 1210 GREENLEAF HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. AND. EXCUSE ME, MARNIE, HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE.

CAN CAN EVERYONE HEAR MONTY? BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HAVING A BIT OF A SOUND PROBLEM.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH. BETTER. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. HI. I'M MONTY ANDERSON HERE AT 1210 GREENLEAF HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. AND TONIGHT I'M HERE REPRESENTING MR. JUAN TREJO TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. BECAUSE HE HAD A PLAN, A TRIP PLANNED THAT HE COULD NOT GET OUT OF. AND SO I AM HELPING HIM PUT THE DEAL TOGETHER. I DON'T OWN ANY PART OF IT OR ANYTHING. I'M JUST HERE TONIGHT TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I'M ALSO HERE WITH THE MIDAS TOUCH. GUYS ARE HERE.

ANGEL PEREZ AND CHRISTINA. CHRISTIAN RIVERA, YOU KNOW, 20 AND A 21 YEAR OLD ENTREPRENEURS, WHICH IS COMMON OF MR. TREJO. WHAT HE DOES, WHAT HE DEVELOPS OUT OF THAT THAT PROPERTY. I WANTED TO MENTION THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE RENDERING OF THAT PROPERTY, SOME OF THOSE THOSE OLD BUILDINGS BACK, YOU KNOW, THAT WERE BUILT BACK A LONG TIME AGO, THEY'RE BUILT WAY BACK OFF THE ROAD. NOT LIKE WE'RE DOING NOW, YOU KNOW, WITH THE NEW MAIN STREET, WE'RE NOT LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING. MR. GOFF AND I GOT TOGETHER NOT TOO LONG AGO AND ACTUALLY DID THESE DRAWINGS ACROSS THE STREET FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO, YOU KNOW,

[00:20:03]

FIX THEIR BUILDINGS UP. AND THEY DIDN'T DO IT. THEY DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T COME ALONG. BUT WHEN HE SAW THOSE DRAWINGS, HE SAID, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. AND IT'S GOT TO MAKE THE BUILDING FEEL LIKE IT'S CLOSER TO THE ROAD, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S GOT A I THINK IT'S GOT TO GIVE IT A WHOLE NEW LOOK. I THINK MORE I THINK MORE PEOPLE WILL SEE THIS AND THEY'LL COME ALONG. EVEN THE LIGHTS OUT FRONT ARE ON ON CABLES. THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT CHEAP CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S IT'S DONE TO LOOK REAL WELL. AND IN FACT, MR. TREJO, ANOTHER THING, YOU KNOW, HE, HE PURCHASED 212 NORTH MAIN. MR. HARVEY, YOU'LL REMEMBER THIS BACK IN THE DAY. 212 NORTH MAIN WAS DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR, MY COMPANY AND THE CITY TO GET THE IMPROVEMENTS ON, ON NORTH MAIN. SO ALL THOSE IMPROVEMENTS IN THOSE FIRST THREE BLOCKS, THEY WERE AN 80% GRANT FROM THE NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS DEVELOPMENT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GRANTS. AND THE CITY GOT 80% MONEY BACK ON THOSE THREE STREETS BECAUSE OF TWO BUILDINGS. ONE OF THEM IS HIS BUILDING AT 212 NORTH MAIN, AND THE OTHER ONE'S AT 111 EAST DAVIS. AND SO HE ENDED UP BEING THE OWNER OF THAT, WHICH WAS THE INTENT ALL ALONG THAT WE WOULD HAVE AN ENTREPRENEUR WHO OWNED, YOU KNOW, PROPERTIES WITH ALSO RENTAL UNITS IN THERE. SO WITH THAT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE NUMBERS. I KNOW THEM PRETTY WELL. OR WHAT HE'S DOING WITH HIS BANK. BANCO DE SOTO IS HIS LENDER. YOU DO HAVE A SOMEWHERE. THEY YOU DO HAVE A LETTER OF COMMITMENT FOR THAT LOAN OF 400,000. AND THE BIGGEST GAP IN THIS PROPERTY HERE IS THE GAP OF OF APPRAISAL.

SO IT'S 500,000 OR SO IS WHAT IT WILL APPRAISE FOR, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S STILL $200 A SQUARE FOOT ON MAIN STREET. AND WE HADN'T HAD ANY, ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THAT EVER PRAISED FOR THAT. AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE, THAT'S SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS. THAT'S WHAT IT'S TAKEN TO GET THEM, YOU KNOW, GET THEM UP TO, TO STUFF THIS ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY, IF YOU DON'T GO, NONE OF Y'ALL GO BACK THIS FAR PROBABLY, BUT THIS ACTUALLY USED TO BE A 7-ELEVEN MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. THIS BUILDING WAS. SO ANYWAY, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AND AND ALSO RECOGNIZE MR. ANGEL, MR. PEREZ AND MR. RIVERA BACK HERE. THEY MAY WANT TO SPEAK, BUT THESE ARE TWO VERY IMPRESSIVE YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS. I'M TELLING YOU, YOU GUYS HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING. YOU KNOW, JUST TALK TO THEM FOR A FEW MINUTES. THEY'RE VERY IMPRESSIVE, VERY MATURE. THEY'RE A LOT MORE MATURE THAN I WAS AT 21, I CAN TELL YOU THAT. I MEAN, SO ALRIGHT, I TELL YOU WHAT, MONTY. LET'S HEAR FROM THEM. AND THEN SINCE YOU'RE REPRESENTING MR. TREJO. THANK YOU. I WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL. TREJO. THEN WE'LL BRING YOU BACK UP. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BOARD HAS ANY. AND YOU KNOW, THESE TWO ARE RENTING SPACE INSIDE OF THE THE ACADEMY. SO THEY'RE RENTERS FROM FROM THE OWNER THERE. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? NAME, NAME AND ADDRESS.

TWO MINUTES. MY NAME IS RAYMOND RIVIERA. I LIVE AT 106 TUCSON, DUNCANVILLE. AND I'M HERE TO REPRESENT MY GRANDSON, CRISTIAN RIVERA. HE STARTED WITH MR. TRUJILLO IN 2021, GOING TO SCHOOL THERE HE IS. GRADUATED. NOW HE'S TRYING TO FAN OUT AND GET MORE IMPROVED. AND MR. RIVERA HAS BEEN A GOOD MENTOR AND TRYING TO MAKE HIM A BETTER. SELLER AT HIS PRODUCT. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. HELLO. MY NAME IS CRISTIAN RIVERA, RESIDENT AT 653 PARKWOOD CIRCLE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. AND BACK IN 2021 IS WHEN I STARTED THE AT TEXAS BARBER COLLEGE, AND IT OPENED UP SO MANY DOORS FOR ME AND ANGEL HERE, NOT ONLY AS TO GROW AS MEN, BUT AS ENTREPRENEURS. WHAT WHAT MR. TREJO HAS DONE FOR US IS NOT ONLY OPENED SO MANY DOORS, BUT OPEN OUR EYES AS TO LEADING US AND INSPIRING US TO OPEN THE SUPPLY STORE, WHICH I THINK WOULD DO. WHICH I THINK WOULD DO HERE GOOD ON THE MAIN STREET LOCATION. HAVING US THERE WILL NOT ONLY BRING ATTENTION TO US BECAUSE OF THE MANY SALONS AND BARBERSHOPS HERE ON MAIN STREET ALONE, BUT ALSO ADDITIONAL RECOGNITION TO

[00:25:04]

SURROUNDING CITIES. HELLO EVERYBODY. I'M ANGEL PEREZ AND I AM ONE OF THE OWNERS OF MIDAS TOUCH BARBER SUPPLY. AND HERE TODAY WE'RE HERE TO SEEK Y'ALL FOR TO TRY TO HELP US BUILD A BETTER. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT HOW A BETTER GROWTH MEANT FOR THE YOUNG. OKAY.

ANGEL PEREZ, 11 ZERO NINE, SOUTH BRIGHTON. AND I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK TO Y'ALL TO HELP US TRY TO GROW DUNCANVILLE CITY AND OUR BUSINESS AS WELL, AND HELP THE YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS IN THIS INDUSTRY. AND YES, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. OKAY, MONTY, IF YOU WILL COME BACK UP.

IS ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ANDERSON AS IT RELATES TO THE NUMBERS FOR THE PROJECT? MR. ANDERSON, CAN YOU CONFIRM YOUR STATEMENT? YOU JUST STATED THAT THE BUILDING APPRAISED FOR $500,000. IS THAT CORRECT? AS WHAT I HEARD, YES. THE BUILDING, THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE BUILDING WILL BE JUST JUST OVER $500,000. THANK YOU. SO HE'LL HAVE HE'LL HAVE THE CAPITAL STACK. HE'LL HAVE 160,000 IN IT. THEN $400,000 LOAN. AND THEN THERE'S THE GAP THERE. THAT'S WHAT HE'S ASKING YOU. ACTUALLY THE GAP IS 260,000. SO HE'S HE'S PUTTING 100,000 DOWN ON THE 560. AND THEN ASKING YOU FOR THE REST. YEAH. I HAVE A QUESTION. SO WITH THE I THINK THE IDEA BEHIND THE WHOLE DEAL, LIKE I'M A FAN, BUT WOULD IT WORK IN AN INCENTIVE TYPE SETUP WHERE BECAUSE THE CONCERN FOR ME IS IT'S KIND OF PUT IN THE CITY, THE DC, DC AND KIND OF A, A PARTNERSHIP KIND OF THING WITH IN THE SITUATION VERSUS PROVIDING THE INCENTIVES. AND SO WOULD THIS DEAL WORK WITH MR. TREJO USING HIS FUNDS TO PURCHASE TO ACQUIRE THE BUILDING? AND THEN WE COME IN AND WORK WITH HIM ON INCENTIVES IN THE LIKE A REIMBURSEMENT TYPE OF FASHION TO KIND OF ROLL THROUGH AND KIND OF POSITION THE CITY BETTER TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROTECTED. AND THE WHOLE THING. AND THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE IT REALLY PUTS THE DC EDC COMING TO THE TABLE FOR THE DEAL AS PRESENTED, AND I DON'T. OH YEAH, THEY SEE, BUT IT'S SMALL. BUT IT'S PUTTING THE DC EDC COMING TO THE TABLE WITH MORE CAPITAL THAN THE APPLICANT. YEAH. AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOAN, BUT A LOAN IS NOT AN ASSET. IT'S A DEBT. SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF LEVEL THAT, THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE CASH IS UP HERE. AND THEN THAT LOAN. SO COULD, COULD THIS DEAL WORK FOR HIM WITH JUST ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY AND THEN ROLLING IT OUT AND ALLOWING THE DC EDC TO SUPPORT IN THAT FASHION? WELL, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS HE CAN'T USE THE PROPERTY WITHOUT COMPLETELY REMODELING IT, SO HE HAS TO USE ALL THE MONEY UP FRONT BEFORE HE CAN OCCUPY THE PROPERTY. SO THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THAT. HE HAS TO DO THAT RIGHT UP FRONT, AND HE HAS TO HAVE ALL THAT CAPITAL GATHERED BEFORE THE BANK WILL GIVE HIM THAT LOAN. SO HE HAS TO HAVE ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, UP FOR. IT HAS TO BE UP FRONT. SO YOU SEE, HE CAN'T THE BUILDING'S GOT TO BE COMPLETELY GUTTED, YOU KNOW, ALL NEW SEWER AND EVERYTHING IN IT. SO HE'LL USE ALL THE 760,000. HE'LL ■USE IT ALL TO GET IT OPEN. OTHERWISE HE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO GET IT OPEN.

YEAH, I I'LL LET SOMEBODY ELSE ASK BECAUSE I'M NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING. I'M MISSING SOMETHING ON THAT PART. SO HOW CAN I HELP YOU THERE? LET ME, LET ME, LET ME TAKE A STAB AT IT. OKAY. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE VARIOUS PARTIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE FINANCING OF THIS INITIATIVE, THE BANK IS INVOLVED. THEY HAVE A LOAN FOR $400,000, AND I'M SURE AND

[00:30:03]

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE BANK HAS AS COLLATERAL THE LAND. SO IF THE BUSINESS VENTURE FAILS, THEN THE BANK WILL JUST TAKE HOLD OF THE PROPERTY. THEN NUMBER TWO, IN TERMS OF AMOUNT GIVEN IS THE EDC. SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE $200,000. SO WHAT DO THE TAXPAYERS GET IN TERMS OF PROTECTION. SHOULD THE BUSINESS FAIL. SO YOU GET WELL YOU GET A YOU GET A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A SECOND LIEN ON THE PROPERTY. SO BEHIND THE BANK. SO THE BANK AND THEN THE BANK IS ALSO AGREED. THEY TOLD ME TODAY, THE BANK HAS ALSO AGREED THAT IF HE DID FAIL, WHICH I YOU KNOW, I MEAN, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. AND I ASSUME WE GOT TO LOOK AT WORST CASE, RIGHT? SO IF HE DID FAIL, THEN THE BANK HAS AGREED TO PUT YOU IN A NOTICE POSITION. IT'S CALLED AN ESTOPPEL WHERE THEY NOTICE YOU AND ACTUALLY GIVING YOU THE RIGHT, THEY CAN ASSIGN THAT A LOAN TO YOU. SO YOU CAN, YOU CAN JUST COME IN AND RESELL IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU COULD COME IN AND RESELL IT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROTECTED. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN FRONT OF THEIR FIRST LIEN OF 400,000. THAT'S GOING TO BE IN FIRST POSITION. THEN YOU'RE 200, YOUR 200,000 WILL BE IN SECOND POSITION, YOU KNOW, IN A SECOND. SO YOU'LL HAVE YOU'LL HAVE, YOU'LL, YOU'LL HAVE A YOU KNOW, YOU'LL HAVE A LEGAL, YOU KNOW, NOTICE, I MEAN, YOU'LL HAVE A LEGAL POSITION IN, IN THE, IN THE CAPITAL. DOES THAT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT'S THE SECOND LIEN. YOU KNOW, IT MEANS THAT THE BANK'S GOT A FIRST LIEN. THEY'RE IN FIRST POSITION. THE FIRST THING THAT GETS PAID IS THEM. AND THEN SECONDLY, THEY'LL THEY'LL PAY YOU. YOU'LL GET. AND IF AND IF HE DOES FAIL, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE BUILDING. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO START TAKING UP THAT THAT FIRST LANE. THAT'S GETTING A LITTLE COMPLICATED. I HOPE I DON'T WANT TO GET YOU, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO, BUT THEY'LL, THEY'LL, YOU'LL BE IN A POSITION THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR, YOUR LOSS. YOU KNOW THAT IF THERE IS IF THAT OCCURS. SO COUNSELOR. YES. SO BASED ON WHAT MONTY JUST SAID, WHAT WHAT'S THE PLAIN TALK COMMON SENSE VERSION OF WHERE WE WILL BE, AS I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING IS WE WE'LL HAVE A SECOND LIEN. SO IT'S SUBJECT TO THE FIRST. SO WHOEVER OWNS FIRST GETS PAID FIRST, UNLESS THE BANK SUBJUGATES THEIR RIGHTS TO US. SO YOU COULD MAKE THE LOAN UP FRONT, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE SUBROGATION OF THE BANK'S NOTE TO US TO HAVE A FIRST POSITION.

ALL RIGHT. AND I DON'T I DON'T THINK ANY BANK WILL DO THAT. THAT'S IN THE REAL WORLD. THEY WANT TO. IT'D BE GOOD IF THEY WOULD. THEY WANT TO DO THEN. THEN I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING IF THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO SUBJUGATE THEIR POSITION, YOU'RE STILL SECOND. YEAH. SO IF THE BANK FORECLOSES ON IT, YOU'RE CUT OFF. UNLESS THEY GET MORE MONEY THAN IS OWED ON THE FACILITY. SO YOU YOU HAVE RISK FOR YOUR POSITION. AS YOU'VE ALREADY NOTED. AND AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO. YES, IF I MAY, WE ALSO HAVE ADDED INTO THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT THAT MR. TREJO WOULD BE THE PERSONAL GUARANTOR FOR THIS ENTIRE AMOUNT. SO ULTIMATELY, HE WOULD BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY DEFAULT. LET ME GO BACK TO THE ATTORNEY. ATTORNEY? YES. SO BASED ON WHAT SHE JUST SAID, SUPPOSE THE BUSINESS FAILS AND THE OWNER DECLARES LIKE PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY. SO HOW DOES THAT IMPACT OUR POSITION? IT COULD BE DISCHARGED IN BANKRUPTCY. IT WOULD BE DISCHARGED IN BANKRUPTCY MEANS YOU DON'T DISCHARGE THE GUARANTEE. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. WELL, SO THE BANK KEEP IN MIND THOUGH, THOUGH, IF THE WORST CASE HAPPENS HERE, YOU GOT A GUY WITH WITH PERFECT CREDIT, VERY LITTLE DEBT. I MEAN, YOU

[00:35:03]

GOT FINANCIALS. YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT, YOU KNOW, JUST A PERFECT RECORD. IF THE WORST CASE HAPPENED, THE BANK IS SAYING TO YOU, THEY'LL LET YOU COME IN AND TAKE OVER THE LOAN UNTIL YOU GET TILL YOU SELL IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. THEY'RE GOING TO LET THEY'RE GOING TO LET YOU DO THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A 30 DAY NOTICE. THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM AN ESTOPPEL OF 30 DAYS SO THEY CAN COME IN. AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PROBABLY AS GOOD AS YOU CAN. IT'S PROBABLY AS GOOD AS YOU CAN GET FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. NOW, WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU HAVE TO PAY OFF THE BANK. THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS. IT WOULD BE REAL GOOD IF IT COULD BE AN INCENTIVE THAT WOULD BE AS GOOD AS IT GETS. AND THEN WE COULD BE DOING EVERYTHING WE NEED TO TO HELP CITIZENS WHO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE WANT TO LIKE WE WANT TO DO THIS. WE WANT TO DO THIS, BUT JUST NEED TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. WE WANT MIDAS TOUCH UP FRONT, YOU KNOW, BUT IS THERE A LEASE FOR MIDAS TOUCH? THERE WILL BE, YES. YEAH. SO I DIDN'T SEE THAT. AND THEN THE TEN YEAR DEAL. THAT'S A YOU KNOW, THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE. BECAUSE HE HADN'T HADN'T EVEN BEEN TEN. SO THEY GOT TO DO ANOTHER TEN YOU KNOW TO I THINK THE TEN YEAR FORGIVENESS.

WELL IT'S THAT'S JUST EVERY YEAR IT FORGIVES ONE TENTH. SO IF HE'S THERE FOR ONE YEAR, THEN HE ONLY OWES 90%. IF HE'S THERE FOR TWO YEARS, HE OWNS, HE OWES 80%. RIGHT. SO IT FORGIVES ITSELF OVER TIME. IF YOU YOU'RE SAYING YOU'D RATHER GIVE HIM JUST A PURE INCENTIVE, JUST THE OH, REIMBURSABLE. WELL, THE REIMBURSABLE, THE THE REASON THAT IT WON'T WORK IS HE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FINISH IT OUT TO GET OPEN. THERE WON'T BE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH MONEY. HE HAS TO BUY THE BUILDING AND HE HAS TO IMPROVE IT WITH THIS MONEY. IF HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, HE CAN'T GET OPEN. THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THAT. IT WOULD BE UNDERSTOOD. I JUST HAD A QUICK POINT AGAIN, MARLON GOUGH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ANSWER, MAKE SURE WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, BOARD MEMBER ABNEY, ABOUT EITHER THE 5 OR 10 YEAR. WE PRESENTED TWO OPTIONS.

EXCUSE ME. YEAH, I THINK WE'RE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THAT MICROPHONE. YEAH. GOT IT, GOT IT. SPEAK INTO IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. A LITTLE BIT BETTER. YEAH. A LOT A LOT OF IT'S ME.

THAT'S OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I ANSWERED. BOARD MEMBER AVNI'S QUESTION ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN. SO IN THE PACKET, MISS PEREZ PRESENTED ACTUALLY TWO SCENARIOS, STARTING WITH THIS IS AN INCENTIVE GRANT IN THE FORM OF A FORGIVABLE LOAN, AND THE REASON BEING BECAUSE AS YOU GUYS ARE TALKING RIGHT NOW, IT'S A DEPARTURE FROM THE NORMAL PROCESS OF AWARDING AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE, RIGHT? IN THE FORM OF A REIMBURSABLE GRANT, AS OUTLINED IN THE DESIGN INCENTIVE PROGRAM. BUT I REALLY WANTED TO. SO I WANTED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. RIGHT. AND SO THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY A PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT UPON THE APPLICANT, RIGHT? WHAT IT SPEAKS TO IS THE RISK MITIGATION, RIGHT? THAT'S INVOLVED WITH AN INVESTMENT BY THIS CORPORATION IN THE FORM OF A GRANT OR FORGIVABLE LOAN, RIGHT, WITH THE REIMBURSABLE GRANT, RIGHT? IF A BUSINESS OWNER HAS THE CASH BASED ON THE SCOPE OF THE WORK TO DO THE PROJECT, AND THEN THEY CERTIFY THOSE COSTS AND THEY REIMBURSE US IF THAT BUSINESS STILL FAILS OR FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY OR CLOSES OR SELLS IN TWO YEARS, THE PUBLIC DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE ANY RECOURSE, RIGHT? IT'S JUST THAT OUR TOOL IS YOU CARRY OUT THE PROJECT, WE REIMBURSE YOU. OKAY. THIS ATTEMPT IS LIKE A FEW OTHER PROJECTS THAT'S BEEN BEFORE THIS BOARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL, WHERE THE CAPITAL STACK REQUIRED ON THE FRONT SIDE IS WHERE THE GAP AS OPPOSED TO RIGHT ON THE PRO FORMA SIDE, WHERE I CAN RECAPTURE THAT. SOME PROJECTS DON'T HAVE. WE'LL SAY THAT THE CAPITAL STACK, THE SPREAD TO NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY FINANCE THE DEAL, THEY CAN'T GET THE DEAL DONE AND THEN WAIT FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT, RIGHT? THEY NEED THAT INVESTMENT TO GET THE PROJECT DONE. RIGHT. AND THEN WE AGREE TO PERFORM, TO STAY OPEN FIRST TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT. AND IF WE DON'T, WE'LL PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THE LOAN. WE'LL EVEN PLACE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY FOR YOUR BEHALF. WHAT

[00:40:04]

THAT DOES IS LET'S SAY THE PROJECT DOES REALLY WELL. THEY ACTUALLY DO BUILD IT, AND IT'S APPRAISING WELL ABOVE ITS VALUE IN THREE YEARS. WELL, THEN STILL, IF THEY CHOOSE TO SELL AND LIQUIDATE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, THEY STILL HAVE TO SATISFY THAT FORGIVABLE AMOUNT RIGHT AFTER 5 OR 10 YEARS. SO REALLY THIS FOR US, THE STAFF IS MORE ABOUT HOW PHILOSOPHICALLY IN TERMS OF OUR STRATEGY, WE WANT TO ADVANCE AND EVALUATE PROJECTS AS MUCH AS IT IS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL. RIGHT? BECAUSE AGAIN, ALL PROJECTS ARE NOT THE SAME, RIGHT? WE'RE EVALUATING THEM AS THEY'RE PRESENTED OR AS THEY'RE CULTIVATED. AND IT'S JUST BEEN MY EXPERIENCE. A LOT OF THE WELL CAPITALIZED PROJECTS THINK MULTINATIONAL BRANDS OR CHAINS, THEY MAY HAVE THE INVESTOR POOL EQUITY TO FINANCE IT ALL UPFRONT, ASSUME ALL THAT RISK AND THEN WAIT FOR OUR INCENTIVE ON THE BACKSIDE. EITHER REIMBURSEMENT GRANT, SALES TAX SHARING, PROPERTY TAX REBATE, ETC. BUT THE SMALLER PROJECTS, SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY IN OUR COMMUNITY, UNDERSTANDING THIS APPRAISAL SPACE WE'RE IN, THAT IS WHY WE'RE HAVING TO BE FLEXIBLE AND CREATIVE IN PRESENTING THESE PROJECTS. SO THAT'S A LONG WINDED COMMENT TO REQUEST FEEDBACK FOR US BEYOND THIS PROJECT, BUT JUST STRATEGICALLY HOW BEST TO ADVANCE PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION, KNOWING THOSE THOSE DIFFERENCES. SO I'LL DEFER BACK TO THE APPLICANT IN CASE THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. I WOULD ADD, I DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE, BUT IF IT WOULD APPRAISE FOR SEVEN, LET'S SAY IT'LL APPRAISE FOR $760,000. THEN ALL HIS BANKS GOT A REQUIRE HIM TO HAVE HIS 20% DOWN. SO AT THAT POINT HE'S GOT ENOUGH MONEY IF IT WERE TO APPRAISE. BUT HE WON'T APPRAISE.

SO HE'S HAVING TO PUT MORE MONEY IN IT THAN IT'LL APPRAISAL. HE'S ACTUALLY UPSIDE DOWN IN IT WHEN HE WHEN HE BUYS IT. AND I MEAN UNTIL WE GET UNTIL MAIN STREET, UNTIL WE GET GOING MORE UNTIL WE GET GOING MORE. YOU GOT TO YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THIS. YOU GOT TO GET APPRAISALS UP. BUT WITH ENCINA, WITH ENCINA BEING AT, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR SITUATION WITH ENCINA WITH THEM COMING IN AND HIGHER COSTS AT ITS HIGHER PRICE WITH THIS ONE COMING IN, THE NEXT ONE THAT COMES UP IS GOT TO GET A HIGHER APPRAISAL BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY BOUGHT THIS.

HE'S ACTUALLY BUYING THIS BUILDING FOR $760,000. AND SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT THAT IT'S THERE. AND AGAIN, I HE CAN'T THE, THE BANK WON'T GIVE HIM THE 400 IF HE DOESN'T HAVE THE REST OF IT TO FINISH. SO THEY WON'T GIVE HIM THAT. THAT'S A CONDITION OF THEIR LOAN. THAT'S LIKE A CONDITION OF THE DOWN OF THE DOWN PAYMENT. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON THAT THIS HERE HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, HERE'S, HERE'S THE HOPE, HERE'S THE HOPE THAT YOU GAVE A BIG AND SEEN AN INCENTIVE, YOU GAVE A DECENT SIZED INCENTIVE TO ENCINA THAT THAT. AND THEN YOU GIVE ANOTHER ONE TO HIM AND THEN THE NEXT ONE WILL BE LESS AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE LESS. AND THEN FINALLY WE'LL GET TO ZERO. SO WHEN PEOPLE SEE, YOU KNOW, SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE KIND OF YOU'RE PRIMING THE PUMP, IF YOU WILL, YOU KNOW, GETTING SOME OF THESE COMPS UP. YOU'RE HELPING, YOU ARE HELPING THAT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE THAT, THAT'S, BUT THAT IS, IT'S GOT A, THAT'S A LOT OF CAPITAL FOR A SMALL BUSINESS TO COME UP WITH. AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE HERE. AND THAT'S WHY YOU WERE. THAT'S WHY THESE FUNDS WERE VOTED IN, YOU KNOW, BY THE, BY THE PEOPLE TO DO THIS KIND OF WORK. AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S, I HOPE I DIDN'T JUST CONFUSE YOU THERE. I'M JUST TRYING TO, TO WHAT'S THAT? WHAT'S THAT? WE APPRECIATE IT.

YOU'RE YOU'RE BEING VERY CLEAR. I'M TRYING APPRECIATE. I MEAN I DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE TRYING.

YOU'RE NOT SCARING US. WE APPRECIATE, WE APPRECIATE. BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE CAN'T. HE CAN'T. IT WON'T. HE CAN'T DO IT WITH WITH WITHOUT IT. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY AND THE BANK WON'T GIVE HIM. THEY WON'T EVEN GIVE HIM THE 400,000 IF HE DOESN'T HAVE ALL OF THAT MONEY, THE 160 HE HAS, PLUS YOUR YOUR 200, THEY WON'T GIVE HIM THE FOUR WITHOUT THOSE TWO. IT'S A CONDITION OF THE OF THE LOAN. SO I THINK WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE IN ANOTHER ARENA THAT BANKS, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, HAVE A DIFFERENT STANDARD OF LOOKING AT BUSINESSES IN THIS AREA IN TERMS OF COLLATERAL REQUIREMENTS AND, AND WHAT HAVE YOU, WHERE AS LET'S SAY, IF THE GENTLEMAN WAS IN FRISCO OR DALLAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

[00:45:11]

SOME PLACE LIKE THAT. HE WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO GET MORE AMENABLE TONE, AMENABLE ARRANGEMENTS, FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS ON HIS PART. LIKE YOU SAID, IF IF THE APPRAISED VALUE WAS WAS HIGHER, HE'D HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. WELL, WHERE IS THAT AT? YEAH. OTHER PLACES IN THE METROPLEX. YEAH. THE APPRAISED VALUES ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE HIGHER THERE, BUT THE SAME FOR THE SAME TERMS, THE SAME REGULATIONS FROM THE, YOU KNOW, THE FEDS WHO GOVERN THESE LITTLE BANKS IS THE SAME HERE IN DUNCANVILLE AS IT IS IN FRISCO. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THERE THE, YOU KNOW, THE THE PRICE HAS GOT TO BE HIGH, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THE GAP. I DON'T THINK THE GAP IS GOING TO BE AS BIG. AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY IT WON'T BE FOR US HERE. MY HOPE REALLY IS THAT THEY ALL RISE. YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING RISES AND WE DON'T HAVE THE GAP.

BUT YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU YOU ARE RIGHT, MR. HARVEY WITH THAT. BUT SO SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE COULD LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR TRANSACTION MORE LONG TERM, THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY INVESTING IN MAKING DUNCANVILLE A MORE AMENABLE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS. BECAUSE ACCORDING TO WHAT I HEARD FROM YOU, EVERY TIME WE DO THIS, EACH AND EVERY SUBSEQUENT TERM WOULD BE MORE AND MORE FAVORABLE. BECAUSE THERE IS A TRACK RECORD, THERE WILL BE A TRACK RECORD OF THESE BUSINESSES THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED. THAT'S NOT THERE RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT ENCINA. NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS ONE, AND AS YOU SAY, THE NEXT ONE, THE NEXT ONE, THE NEXT ONE, THE NEXT ONE. SO THAT IS CORRECT. AND IT'S IT'LL GET BETTER THE MORE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE MORE THINGS THAT WE HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE MORE WE HAVE TO RAISE THOSE PRICES AND IT'LL RAISE OUR TAXES, IT'LL RAISE THE TAXES. YOU KNOW, IN THESE, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE AT WHEATLAND PLAZA, IT WAS ON THE TAX ROLLS FOR $3 MILLION WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, YOU KNOW, AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN APPRAISE FOR THE ASKING PRICE OVER THERE. AND TODAY IT JUST GOT AN APPRAISAL IN AT $19 MILLION. WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS BASED ON RENTS AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE. YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ALL HELPING.

EVERY TIME WE DO A DEAL, IT HELPS. AND AND I'LL SAY WITH STAFF HERE, BELIEVE ME, WE HAD LOTS OF DISCUSSION WITH THE BANK BECAUSE I WAS HELPING WITH THE BANK AND STAFF HAS DONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY WAS PROTECTED WITH THAT, THAT LEAN THE BEST THEY CAN. THE ONLY THE ONLY THING THAT COULD BE BETTER IS, LIKE THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID, IS YOU HAD A FIRST POSITION. THAT'S THE ONLY THING. BUT THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN, I PROMISE YOU, WE HAD LOTS OF A LOT OF ARGUMENTS AND DISCUSSIONS BACK AND FORTH ON THAT TO PROTECT THE CITY AND THE SO. AND IN FACT, IT'S NOT JUST THE BANK HAS AGREED NOT TO MAKE YOU PAY THAT LOAN OFF. THEY'VE AGREED TO LET YOU JUST KEEP PAYING THOSE PAYMENTS. THE BANK HAS GOT TO LET YOU JUST KEEP PAYING THOSE PAYMENTS. IF HE DEFAULTS, THEY'RE GOING TO BASICALLY AGREE TO DO THAT. SO I JUST FOUND OUT OUT TODAY. SO THAT'S WHAT THEY. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH $400,000 AND GO PAY IT OFF. YOU CAN JUST PAY THE PAYMENTS UNTIL YOU SELL IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. WORST CASE. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISTER ANDERSON? JUST A QUESTION. THE LOAN TERMS, WOULD IT BE A 5 OR 10 YEAR FOR HIS LOAN. YES. HE'S GOT TO GET I THINK HE'S GOT TO GET A 20 YEAR AMORTIZATION. AND HE'S GOT TO GET A TEN YEAR TERM, 20 YEAR AMORTIZATION, TEN YEAR. NORMALLY IN YOUR YOU FAMILIAR WITH COMMERCIAL LOANS, YOU ONLY GET LIKE A FIVE YEAR OR THREE YEAR UNLESS YOU GET AN SBA LOAN, THEN IT'S A 30 AND THEN YOU CAN GET A 30 YEAR SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION LOAN. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WHOLE TRANSACTION. THE CURRENT SITES THAT THE BUSINESS IS OPERATING IN NOW, ARE THOSE LEASED OR DOES HE OWN ANY OF THOSE PROPERTIES? HE DOESN'T OWN THE PROPERTY WHERE HE'S AT RIGHT NOW AND HE NEEDS MORE SPACE. RIGHT. AND HE WANTS TO OWN A ON HIS PROPERTY, NOT NOT LEASE. SO BUT HE DOESN'T OWN. BUT I THINK I THINK HE'S GOT AN IDEA OF SOMETHING HE'S PUTTING BACK IN THERE THOUGH, THAT HE'S WORKING WITH THE LANDLORD TO GO

[00:50:02]

BACK IN WHERE HE'S AT. BUT YEAH, HE, HE DOES NOT OWN THAT PROPERTY. SO HE'LL CONSOLIDATE ALL OF HIS OPERATIONS INTO THE NEW SITE, INTO THE NO. HE'S GOT TWO OTHER SHOPS ON MAIN STREET, ONE AT 212 NORTH MAIN, AND THE OTHER ONE IS NEXT DOOR TO THIS ONE. AND SO JUST, JUST THIS JUST THE THE MIDAS TOUCH IS ACTUALLY IN THE BACK OF ONE OF THE OTHER BARBER SHOPS, NOT IN THIS BARBER SCHOOL. AND THE, THE MIDAS TOUCH HAS GOT TO MOVE. THE ONLY THING HE'S GOT TO THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE TOGETHER. SO THE SCHOOL AND THE MIDAS TOUCH WILL MOVE TOGETHER. OKAY.

THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MY QUESTION. IT MAY HAVE BEEN FOR STAFF, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT THE RESOLUTION. IS THIS TIME FOR THAT NOW OR IS THAT FOR LATER? LIKE THE TERMS THAT ARE LISTED IN THERE? IS THAT FOR NOW OR LATER? WELL, IF IF WE DO THE GRANT, I'LL DO A GRANT AGREEMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE A QUESTION IS WHAT SAYS HE HAS TO BE OPEN THAT PART TEN YEARS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? YEAH. NOW, IF THEY WERE GENERATING SALES TAX, I HAVE A MEASURE TO MAKE SURE IT'S PERFORMING. AND ONE, YOU'RE RECOUPING MONEY BECAUSE YOU GET SALES TAX. SO TO ME IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU HAD A PERFORMANCE STANDARD. THEY HAVE TO DO $50,000 WORTH OF TAXABLE SALES, TAXABLE INCOME EVERY QUARTER OR EVERY YEAR, WHATEVER THE STANDARD IS, BECAUSE WE'LL GET THE REPORT FROM THE CONTROLLER, WHICH WE CAN RELY ON TO SAY, THIS BUSINESS IS OPEN, IT'S GENERATING, IT'S SUCCESSFUL. IF WE'RE GOING TO RIDE THIS OUT FOR TEN YEARS ON A FORGIVABLE LOAN, THEN YOU CAN JUSTIFY, WELL, WE'RE GETTING PAID BACK THROUGH SALES TAX GENERATED. RIGHT. AND THAT WAS THAT WAS WHY I KIND OF HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US, BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT LIKE PERFORMANCE MEASURES. IT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT IT DIDN'T ADDRESS THE SALES TAX. THEY COULD CHANGE WHAT THEY'RE DOING THERE. THERE WAS NOTHING TO RESTRICT IT TO JUST BEING A SCHOOL. THERE WAS NOTHING TO RESTRICT THAT. AND. IT WAS.

WHAT ELSE WAS MISSING. SO THERE WERE SOME THINGS IN THE. OH, IT ALSO KIND OF INTERCHANGES LOAN GRANT INCENTIVE LOAN GRANT INCENTIVE THROUGHOUT. AND SO I DON'T I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WAS THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT OR DO WE NOT BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME. YES. THIS IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IF YOU APPROVE IT, THEN WE HAVE TO WRITE THE GRANT AGREEMENT. YEAH. SO THOSE WERE SOME OF THE. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT I HAD. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE. AND SO WERE THEY QUESTIONS OR DID YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR EDITS, IMPROVEMENTS, REVISIONS TO THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT? BECAUSE WE DID PROVIDE THE. THERE WERE SOME ADDITIONAL. I WILL MAKE THAT NOTE. THERE WERE SOME ADDITIONAL EDITS THAT WERE MADE TO THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT AFTER IT WENT TO PACKET, JUST AGAIN, SO THAT THE LENDER. IT WAS CLEAR TO THE LENDER ABOUT WHAT OUR POSITION IS, AND IT DID HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DRAWN OUT. I WILL TELL YOU TO BEGIN WITH, AS STAFF, WE DON'T EVEN APPROACH ANY TYPE OF INCENTIVE AGREEMENT UNLESS THEY HAVE PROVIDED SALES PROJECTIONS. AND WE CAN DO THE MEASUREMENTS OF WHAT THOSE PROJECTED THE REVENUE WOULD BE IN SALES TAX. SO THAT'S A GIVEN. OF COURSE, WE CAN DEFINITELY WRITE THAT IN.

AND, YOU KNOW, IN THE YEAR AND A HALF THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE EVER PUT SPECIFIC SALES TAX MEASUREMENTS IN AN INCENTIVE AGREEMENT. BUT AGAIN, AS WE NORMALLY GET A REIMBURSABLE GRANT AGREEMENT. YES, EXACTLY. THAT'S WHY. YES, SIR. BUT OF COURSE. BUT FROM THE FRONT END, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DID DISCUSS WITH THE APPLICANT. AND THAT'S WHY THIS DEAL EVEN CAME TOGETHER THE WAY IT DID, AND HIM REALLY INCORPORATING AND GROWING AND BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT GROWING THE RETAIL SUPPLY STORE ASPECT OF THIS BUSINESS, THE PROPOSITION, BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, WE WEREN'T WILLING TO CONSIDER IT. SO I WILL TELL YOU, YOU'RE AWARE THAT STAFF, AGAIN, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT FOLLOWS THE POLICY AND THAT WE ARE TRYING TO RECAPTURE THE SAME SALES TAX THAT'S BEING GIVEN GRANTED FOR THESE INCENTIVES, THAT IT'S BEING GENERATED BACK INTO THE THE SALES TAX REVENUE AND TO FUNDS REALLY OVERALL REVENUE FOR THE COMMUNITY. CAN YOU GO TO THE SLIDE WHERE Y'ALL

[00:55:03]

HAD THE PROJECTED MIDAS TOUCH? SO HOW DID HOW DID WE COME UP WITH THAT? WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY OF 2025 TO DECEMBER OF 2026 THAT GAVE YOU THIS? SO THIS IS AND THIS IS STANDARD WITH EVERY APPLICANT. THEY GIVE US PROJECTIONS JUST THE SAME WITH ANY OTHER INCENTIVE APPLICATION. WE GO BASED OFF PROJECTIONS JUST LIKE EARLIER. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE SPECIFIC REFERENCE, BUT THERE'S OTHER DEALS WHERE THEY MOVED INTO A NEW SPACE. IT WAS A BUSINESS EXPANSION. SO AGAIN, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ACTUALS, THEY HAVE NOT PHYSICALLY MOVED INTO THAT SPACE. THEY GO BASED OFF PROJECTIONS. SAME THING WITH THE PROJECTIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED HERE. RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE OPERATING IN A SMALL SPACE IN THE BACK OF THE OF ONE OF THE THE SHOPS. SO AGAIN, WITH THE ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO HAVE A RETAIL STOREFRONT, WHICH ONE IMMEDIATELY WILL BE VISIBLE TO ALL VISITORS TO THAT ACADEMY. AND ALSO GROWING THE CAPACITY FOR THE AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SELL THE, THE INVENTORY. SO THAT IMMEDIATELY WILL BE AN IMMEDIATE GROWTH. DO WE HAVE DID THEY REPORT SALES TAX IN THE LAST QUARTER? STAFF. SO OUR CEO'S ARE CONSULTING, RIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE, WE RELY ON THEM IN OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT AS WE'RE TRACKING THE SALES TAX. RIGHT. I MENTIONED DURING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT EARLIER ABOUT THE SALES TAX ACTIVITY IN THE CITY WILL BE COMING FORWARD LATER THIS WEEK AND YOUR PACKET OF MONTHLY REPORTS. BUT OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 100 FIRMS, YOU REALLY YOU REALLY ARE MAKING A SEPARATE REQUEST TO THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE TO REALLY SEE. BUT ULTIMATELY, AGAIN, HOW I BUILD MODELS FOR FORECASTS OF SALES TAX REVENUE. YEAH. IF IT'S IF IT'S, IF IT'S AN EXISTING BUSINESS, IT'S EASIER TO DO RIGHT WHEN IT'S ESSENTIALLY A STARTUP, WHICH THIS WOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS. THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS LESS THAN A YEAR THOUGH, RIGHT. AND SO, BUT I'M ABLE TO USE INDUSTRY DATA, RIGHT? I KNOW WHAT SALES PER FOOT LOOK LIKE BASED ON THAT PARTICULAR CATEGORY OF BUSINESS, RIGHT? IF WE'RE IN THE RESTAURANT SPACE, IF IT'S LIMITED SEATING, FULL SERVICE, OR IF IT'S AUTO PARTS SALES OR PICK A CATEGORY WE CAN FORECAST AND AT LEAST TRY TO SCIENTIFICALLY ESTIMATE WHAT A BUSINESS BASED ON THIS SQUARE FOOT SHOULD FORECAST, AND THEN USE THAT TO COMPARE WITH WHAT THE APPLICANT IS SUBMITTING THEMSELVES BASED ON WHAT THEY'RE SEEING. AND ALSO ALWAYS DOING THAT DELICATELY BECAUSE THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. SO EVEN THE SALES TAX DATA THAT WE RECEIVE INTERNALLY FROM OUR STAFF, WE CAN'T JUST SHARE IT PUBLICLY, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S THE, THE, THE BENCHMARK IS THE ACTUAL SALES AND WE'RE JUST APPLYING OUR RATES. SO WE DO THAT DELICATELY. BUT THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF HOW WE ARRIVE AT A LOT OF WHAT WE'LL SEE IN OUR MODELS FOR SALES TAX, FOR PROPERTY TAXES, WE'RE USING SOME RELIABLE INDUSTRY METRIC, RIGHT? AND THEN APPLYING IT TO THIS SITE SPECIFIC LOCATION OR BUSINESS. SO SOME OF YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS, BUT I WORKED IN FINANCE FOR CITIES FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE REPORT THAT MR. GOLF IS TALKING ABOUT. AND THE WAY THAT IT WORKS IS THAT THERE IS A COMMUNICATION THAT'S SENT TO THE STATE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE FROM EITHER THE FINANCE DIRECTOR OR THE CITY MANAGER TO GET THAT INFORMATION. AND WHAT YOU RECEIVE BACK IS AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET WITH ALL OF THE SALES TAX PAYERS LISTED THERE.

YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH IT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE TEXT FORMAT, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE IT FROM A TEXT FORMAT TO AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET. SO IF THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING PRODUCTS FOR FOR A YEAR, THEN THEY HAVE A NAME AND A SALES TAX NUMBER THAT THEY REPORT UNDER. AND SO BASICALLY, WE, WE ARE NOT, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THEIR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. IF WE

[01:00:03]

CAN GET THE CITY MANAGER TO CERTIFY THAT HE LOOKED AT IT, HE PUT A PENCIL TO IT AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S TRENDING IN THIS DIRECTION. AND THAT'S ALL WE NEED. SO IF THAT WILL HELP MOVE THE NEEDLE OR THE BAR, I'LL OFFER THAT AS A POSSIBLE SUGGESTION. COULD YOU BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR ON YOU WERE SAYING THAT YOU WOULD WANT SOMEBODY TO LOOK AT OUR SALES TAX. I'M, I'M I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED ON WHAT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. OKAY. ACCORDING TO TO WHAT MR. GOUGH WAS SAYING AND WHAT HE'S SAYING IS TRUE, I COULDN'T LOOK AT IT. SO WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT? THE CITY MANAGER OR IN SOME CASES THE FINANCE DIRECTOR. SO WE WOULD IT WOULD IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR US IF ONE OF THOSE GENTLEMEN WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT, WHICH THEY COULD. AND SAY, WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SALES TAX REVENUE IS TRENDING IN THIS DIRECTION, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE PROJECTIONS AND WE'RE NOT QUESTIONING THE SKILLS, ABILITIES OF THE CHARACTERS OF THE PEOPLE THAT DID IT. IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE GOOD IF WE COULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF CONFIRMATION THAT. THAT THE THE NUMBERS DO SEEM TO SUPPORT THAT.

WHAT THE THAT THERE IS A REVENUE COMPONENT THERE. SO AND, AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I WOULDN'T ASK YOU OR YOUR, YOUR COPARTNER TO DO IT BECAUSE IT'S AS THEY SAID, IT'S, IT'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND YOU'RE A COMPETITOR TO WHOEVER ELSE IS, IS SELLING THAT SAME PRODUCT. SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE CITY THAT DOES IT. WOULD WE NEED TO SUBMIT THAT TO ANYBODY OR WHO WOULD WE NEED TO SUBMIT THAT TO? WELL, LET'S SEE, WE HAVE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER SITTING RIGHT THERE. AND NO. YEAH, IT IT'S ON THE COMPTROLLER'S REPORT. IF IT'S SUCH A LOW AMOUNT. AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE A SPECIFIC REQUEST FOR A. PERSON WHO HAS TO PAY SALES TAX, A RETAILER. WHAT INSTEAD OF I THINK IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS, ALL WE WOULD NEED IS IF THERE'S A THRESHOLD THAT YOU WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE FORGIVING $200,000 WORTH OF, YOU'RE MAKING THAT, QUOTE, UN FORGETTABLE LOAN AND YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT AT 20,000 A YEAR, THEN YOU KNOW WHAT THE SALES TAX PERCENTAGE IS. YOU WOULD WANT A MINIMUM OF X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS AND RETAIL SALES SO THAT YOU ARE GETTING THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT THAT YOU EXPECT, AND NOT SUGGESTING YOU HAVE TO GET ALL OF IT, BUT YOU WANT THE BUSINESS. I MEAN, I CAN PUT A SIGN UP AND SAY I'M OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND NEVER SELL A DIME. SO WHAT WE WANT THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S AN OCCUPANT FOR THE SPACE THAT WE'RE BUYING. SO WHAT YOU WOULD WANT TO DO IS SET A MINIMUM LEVEL OF RETAIL SALES AND THAT CAN FLUCTUATE. OR YOU CAN DO A RANGE, BUT THAT'S TO ME AN INDICATOR THAT THE BUSINESS IS OPEN AND THEY'RE TRYING IS THEY'RE GENERATING SALES TAX.

AND AS WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, AS STAFF, I WILL ASK THAT YOU JUST PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS SPEAKING BEHIND THE SCENES, AND THERE ARE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO US, AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE APPROACH ALL OF THE INCENTIVES WITH FAIRNESS AND WITH THE SAME CONSISTENCY. SO I WOULD ASK AS STAFF TO PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, THAT IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR SOMETHING THAT HASN'T NECESSARILY BEEN ASKED OF EVERY SINGLE APPLICANT BEFORE THEM, THAT YOU JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE SENDING THE RIGHT MESSAGE TO OUR ENTIRE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FROM INDIVIDUALS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS, OF MANY DIVERSE HISTORIES THAT HAVE COME TO DUNCANVILLE AND ARE TRYING EAGERLY TO REALLY ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES. AND AS STAFF, IT DOES GET DIFFICULT. AS YOU HAVE ALREADY SAID, WE DON'T WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR THE

[01:05:03]

CITY. WE NO LONGER WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR A CITY THAT IS DIFFICULT TO DO BUSINESS WITH AND DOES NOT SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURS AND LOCAL STARTUPS. SO I JUST ADD THAT COMMENT AND PLEAD THAT WE JUST APPROACH EVERYTHING WITH THE SAME CONSISTENCY THAT WE HAVE EVERY OTHER APPLICANT. I HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH, TOO. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY BECAUSE OUR AGREEMENT WOULD BE WITH FADES. REALLY, I'M SORRY, IT WOULD BE WITH J T F, WHICH IS MR. TREJO'S REAL ESTATE COMPANY. AND I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE TENANT COULD MOVE OUT, BUT OUR AGREEMENT WOULD STILL BE WITH THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

YES, BUT IT IS. I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THEM THROUGH UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP. THAT WAS MY REASON FOR ASKING BECAUSE AND WITH HIM BEING A NEW BUSINESS, I'M IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT. I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT DOING PUTTING THEM THROUGH UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF BUSINESS. YEAH. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. AND WE, AGAIN, WE COULD DEFINITELY ADD WHATEVER SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE TO THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD SPECIFY THAT THERE WOULD BE THAT NECESSITY TO MAINTAIN THAT RETAIL ASPECT IN THE CASE THAT THE RETAIL STORE BRAND CHANGED OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. HI, GOOD EVENING, DC, DC BOARD MEMBERS MARK RAUSCHER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WITH THE CITY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TO VIEW ANY SALES TAX REPORTS YET. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE NORMALLY GET IS I BELIEVE IT'S THE TOP ONE 5100. BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, REQUEST THAT. BUT I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT ALSO THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS INVESTMENT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY WOULD BE RECEIVING PROPERTY TAX REVENUE AS WELL AS BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE FROM FROM THIS INVESTMENT HERE AS WELL. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT DIDN'T GET LOST IN THE IN THE EQUATION. NO, IT'S TOP OF MIND. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT. SO. LET'S SEE AT THIS POINT. AT THIS POINT, IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS THEN WE CAN TAKE A VOTE UP OR DOWN. WELL, THE THE WAY THE AGENDA IS SET UP, YOU WOULD HAVE TO ACTUALLY MOVE TO SEVEN A TO ACTUALLY CONSIDER THE GRANT AGREEMENT. OR YOU CAN CONDUCT THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING.

THAT IS RIGHT, I AM I AM SO SORRY. I APOLOGIZE TO THE PUBLIC. SO THEN WE CLOSE THE WE CAN WE CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN UP ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING? ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REQUEST AND WE WILL COME BACK TO IT A LITTLE LATER IN THE MEETING. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS AND

[6.B. Conduct a public hearing to discuss and consider approval of a sponsorship for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office & Duncanville Police Department's 17th Annual Fire Truck Pull.]

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A SPONSORSHIP FOR THE DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND DUNCANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 17TH ANNUAL FIRE TRUCK POOL. I SEE A FAMILIAR FACE IN THE BACK.

SO WHY DON'T WE LET STAFF PRESENT AND THEN IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE HAVE A GENTLEMAN THAT'S WELL PREPARED TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. SO YES. MARCELO PEREZ, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR AND PRESENTING THE SPONSORSHIP REQUESTS RECEIVED FROM DALLAS, THE DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE FROM FOR THE FIRE TRUCK POOL EVENT, WHICH IS A JOINT JOINTLY HOSTED EVENT BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

I DO HAVE THE APPLICANT, MR. DOUGLAS SISK, HERE, WHO WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THE.

THE EVENT IS THE 17TH ANNUAL DUNCANVILLE FIRE TRUCK POOL, WHICH, AS I'VE ALREADY STATED, IS CO-HOSTED BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT WILL BE LOCATED AT ARMSTRONG PARK, AS IT HAS IN ALL ITS YEARS, 1515 OF THE YEAR. THE DATE OF THE EVENT IS SATURDAY, MAY 30TH, 2026. THE FIRE TRUCK POOL IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN EVENT RECOGNIZED REGIONALLY ACROSS THE STATE. I'M SORRY. OF COURSE, NORTH TEXAS PARTICIPANTS AND

[01:10:06]

TEAMS COME FROM CITIES AROUND DALLAS COUNTY, AS WELL AS NEIGHBORING COUNTIES, WITH ATTENDANCE AVERAGING 5 TO 600 PEOPLE WITH FAMILIES, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, AND IT IS ESTIMATED BASED ON IF THE EVENT MEETS ITS GOALS, THAT APPROXIMATELY 180 DUNCANVILLE SPECIAL OLYMPIC ATHLETES WILL BENEFIT FROM SCHOLARSHIP MONEY RAISED FROM THE EVENT. SO THE SPONSORSHIP REQUESTS. MY APOLOGIES. IT SAYS GRANT. IT'S SPONSORSHIP FOR 7500 FOR PRESENTING SPONSORSHIP. AND THESE ARE THE INCLUSIONS. AS PART OF THAT, SPONSORSHIP IS THE PRESENTING SPONSOR, WHICH WILL ALLOW THE DCC TO BE INVOLVED IN PRESS RELEASES AND PRINT MATERIALS, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER NOTABLE RECOGNITION AND THEN RECOGNITION ON THE TEAM T SHIRTS AT THE EVENT AND SPOKESPERSON IS WELCOME IF, IF APPLICABLE, FROM THE DC EDC. IF ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THE OPENING CEREMONIES AND THE AWARD PRESENTATION AND THE AWARD PRESENTATION AT. I'M SORRY, I THINK THAT WAS A. YES, THE SAME AWARDS AND OPENING. AND THIS IS AN EVENT PHOTO THAT SHOWS THE SETUP THERE. ARMSTRONG PARK.

AND YES, MR. SISK IS HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE. THANK YOU. I'M DOUG SISK, 246 WEST DAVIS STREET, DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS. SO THIS IS OUR 17TH ANNUAL EVENT. THE FIRST YEAR WE DID IT, WE HAD FIVE TEAMS AND RAISED A LITTLE OVER $5,000. LAST YEAR. WE RAISED OVER 20 TEAMS AND RAISED OVER $58,000 FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS. EVERY YEAR WE TRY TO GROW IT BY SPONSORS AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO MAKE IT A BIGGER EVENT. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN BEING A SPONSOR THAT SHE DIDN'T MENTION IN THIS IS WE ACTUALLY HAVE FLAG BANNERS THAT WILL HAVE SPECIAL OLYMPICS LOGO AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOGO ON THE SAME BANNER TO BE OUT AT THE EVENT, AND ALSO WILL BE PLACED OUT AT THE SUMMER GAMES EVENT THAT'S GOING TO BE UP IN LUCAS BY ALLEN IN MAY. ALSO, THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A BREAKFAST WITH CHAMPIONS. THEY HAVE A BREAKFAST FOR BUSINESSES EVERY YEAR AND INVITE INDIVIDUALS TO SPONSOR TABLES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT BEING A SPONSOR FOR LIKE A PRESENTING SPONSOR FOR THIS, YOU ACTUALLY GET INVITED TO THAT EVENT JUST AS A GUEST. SO. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY I HAD TO STEP AWAY FOR A MOMENT. THAT'S OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR. NO, I WOULD JUST SAY I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW THE EVENT HAS PROGRESSED OVER THE YEARS AND HAS GOTTEN BIGGER AND BIGGER, AND JUST THE IMPACT THAT THE CONSISTENCY HAS MADE ON SPECIAL OLYMPICS. SO WE THANK YOU AND APPLAUD YOU ALL FOR BEING CONSISTENT AND FOCUSED ON THE CAUSE. AND ONE OF THE FIRST YEARS WE ARE THE I THINK IT WAS LIKE YEAR THREE THAT WE DID THIS W AND B WAS JUST BUILDING UP ON MAIN STREET AND WE APPROACHED THEM. I SENT A LETTER TO THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE OVER IN DALLAS AND SAID, HEY, I KNOW Y'ALL ARE GOING TO BE NEW TO THE COMMUNITY. THINK Y'ALL MIGHT WANT TO PUT A TEAM IN IT? SO THE OWNER, TRACY MAYNARD, GOT AHOLD OF ME, SAYS, YEAH, WE WANT TO BE A SPONSOR, BUT I CAN'T FILL THE FOUR TEAMS WE'D BE SPONSORING. SO THEY CAME ON AS A PRESENTING SPONSOR THAT YEAR AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THEN. SO LAST YEAR WE ANNOUNCED AT THE OPENING CEREMONIES THAT AT THAT POINT, THEY DONATED OVER $90,000 TO SPECIAL OLYMPICS THROUGH THE FIRE TRUCK POOL. AND TRACY CAME UP BEHIND ME AND HE SAID HIM AND HIS WIFE WERE GOING TO GIVE US ANOTHER $10,000 TO MAKE IT, TO MAKE IT $100,000. SO AND SO WE'RE STILL, LIKE I SAID, STILL REACHING OUT, TRYING TO FIND SPONSORS. THAT'S HOW WE ALWAYS GROW IT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO AT THE DUNCANVILLE LEVEL IS WE DO WHAT WE CALL OUR LOCAL SPONSOR, WHICH IS A $500 SPONSOR, AND WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO PUT A TEAM IN IT AND ALSO SHOW UP AND HAVE A BOOTH THERE TO PASS OUT LITERATURE ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? OR WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO OUR ATTENDEES. IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM, YOU ARE FREE TO APPROACH THE MIC AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. IF YOU DO HAVE ANY COMMENTS. AND I'M ASSUMING WE DIDN'T RECEIVE

[01:15:11]

ANY COMMENTS BY EMAIL IN REGARDS TO THIS ITEM. OKAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO OUR CHAIR. WE HAVE JUST OPENED UP THE FLOOR TO COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOOD. IF I COULD TOUCH ON THIS FOR A MINUTE. SPECIAL OLYMPICS IS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. I HAVE A SON THAT HAS ASPERGER'S SYNDROME. HE WAS NOT A PARTICIPANT IN SPECIAL OLYMPICS, BUT I KNOW SEVERAL THAT ARE. SO I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE TO DOUG FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE. AND WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR IN WORKING WITH THEM. WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM FOR 15 YEARS. AND SO WE KNOW YOU, YOU KNOW US. SO WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER ONCE MORE AND AGAIN. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WITH NO OTHER QUESTIONS, LET'S SEE. OUR

[6.C. Conduct a public hearing to discuss and consider approval of a sponsorship for the Property Improvement Program (PIP). ]

THIRD PUBLIC HEARING IS TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A SPONSORSHIP FOR THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. PIP. MR. CHAIR, WOULD YOU CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CURRENT ITEM FIRST? YOU ARE CORRECT, MR. LOFFLER. AGAIN.

725 WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON NUMBER B, AND WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AT 725. COMING TO YOU FOR OUR LAST PUBLIC HEARING ITEM OF THE EVENING FOR THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. THEY ARE REQUESTING A SPONSORSHIP FROM THE DC EDC. AND BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WILL MENTION MR. GEORGE MONTICONE IS HERE TO HELP REPRESENT THE PIP NONPROFIT AND HE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. SO THE PIP IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS A STANDALONE 500 AND 1C3 NONPROFIT THAT EXISTS TO PROVIDE NO COST HOME REPAIRS TO DUNCANVILLE HOMEOWNERS IN NEED TWO TIMES PER YEAR THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS AND INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY. 4 TO 5 RESIDENTS ARE SELECTED BY THE PIP BOARD COMMITTEE. PROJECTS ARE SELECTED BASED ON THE LEVEL OF NEED TO PROVIDE A SAFE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, ALONG WITH THE RESIDENTS INABILITY TO COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS DUE TO LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. VOLUNTEERS FROM LOCAL CHURCHES, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER GROUPS WORK ON TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKENDS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS, AND THIS SPONSORSHIP REQUEST IS FOR $5,000. AND THESE ARE SOME PHOTOS FROM PIP DAYS PAST ON SOME OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE HOMES THAT THE VOLUNTEERS ARE WORKING ON, AND SOME OF THE COMPLETED. PROJECTS AND THOSE WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS AT WORK. SO AGAIN, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, THE APPLICANT IS HERE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU. I'M GEORGE QUINN, 1904 WOODDALE CIRCLE IN CEDAR HILL. THIS IS OUR 10TH YEAR NOW DOING THIS IN DUNCANVILLE. WE'VE COMPLETED 87 HOMES IN THAT TIME. SO WE'VE HELPED 87 HOMEOWNERS WITH REPAIRS, DOING FENCES, HOUSES. YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THE PICTURES UP THERE, AND ALMOST OUR ENTIRE BUDGET GOES TO SUPPLIES. ALL OUR LABOR IS FREE. WE REPLACE TOOLS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT LOCAL BUSINESSES HELP US WITH FEEDING OUR VOLUNTEERS.

REPUBLIC DONATES ITS TIME TO PICK UP ALL THE TRASH THAT WE GENERATE AND ACTUALLY PROVIDES VOLUNTEERS TOO. SO THERE'S A LOT OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THIS. SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING, I'M OPEN TO THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH THE PIP PROGRAM? I GUESS I'VE BEEN DOING IT ABOUT FIVE YEARS. THIS IS MY SECOND YEAR ACTUALLY TAKING OVER FOR BETTY DUNN. BETTY DUNN WAS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND IT FOR MANY YEARS, AND SHE MOVED DOWN TO HOUSTON TO BE CLOSER TO THE FAMILY. OH, OKAY. SO SHE'S NOT IN THE AREA RIGHT NOW. SO I'M, I'M KIND OF HEADING IT UP. SUE CLARK AND BOB TALBERT ARE ALSO ON OUR BOARD. THEY'RE HERE TO SUPPORT ALSO AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I DID HAVE ONE

[01:20:05]

QUESTION. YEAH. JUST HOW ARE YOUR APPLICANTS? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY'RE SELECTED, BUT HOW ARE THEY IDENTIFIED? IS IT JUST PRIMARILY BY WORD OF MOUTH OR HOW DO YOU HOW DO HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING? THERE'S A FORM, AN APPLICATION FORM, AND IT'S ACTUALLY ON THE CITY WEBSITE. OKAY. THEY APPLY, THEY TURN IT IN AND THEN WE GATHER THEM UP AND DO INSPECTIONS. AND THEN IN FACT, ABOUT A WEEK AWAY FROM HAVING OUR BOARD MEETING TO LOOK AT THE APPLICANTS FOR THIS TIME, WE HAVE EIGHT APPLICANTS. WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS TIME.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE PROGRAM. I'M SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE GET TO A PLACE THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. SO WE JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT OVER THE YEARS WITH THE PROGRAM. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO WE'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 729, AND WE WILL ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PROGRAM. YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. OKAY. ANYONE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. OKAY. SO WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 730. THANK YOU. MR. CHAIRMAN. AS A RESULT OF YOUR EARLIER ACTION ON AGENDA ITEM SEVEN, YOU MOVED NINE B TO SEVEN A. SO THAT WOULD BE TO CONSIDER A

[9.B. Consider a resolution approving a Second Amendment to the incentive agreement by the Duncanville Community and Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) with BCVCR Holdings, LLC and Pegasus Bank for the Project located at 220 N. Main Street (Project Encina); Extending the project completion and reimbursement deadline to July 31, 2026.]

RESOLUTION APPROVING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT BY THE DUNCANVILLE COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WITH BK, VCR HOLDINGS, LLC AND PEGASUS BANK FOR PROJECT LOCATED AT 220 NORTH MAIN STREET. THE ENCINA PROJECT AND EXTENDING THE PROJECT COMPLETION AND REIMBURSEMENT DEADLINE TO JULY 31ST, 2026. OKAY. THE STAFF HAVE A PRESENTATION THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS.

I UNDERSTAND WE ALREADY READ THE CAPTION FOR THIS ITEM. MARLON GOUGH AGAIN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO THIS ITEM WE REFER TO AS PROJECT ENCINA. BUT IT IS ESSENTIALLY A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER. RIGHT. SO THIS AGREEMENT WAS FIRST ADOPTED CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION BACK IN MAY OF LAST YEAR. AND IT'S ALSO AN INCENTIVE GRANT THAT HAS SOME PERFORMANCE CLAUSES THAT THE BANK IS A PARTY TO. AND ONE OF THOSE IS THERE'S A MILESTONE DATE BY WHICH THE COMPANY, IN THIS CASE, THE RESTAURANT AND CENA WILL HAVE TO HAVE OBTAINED THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY RIGHT BY THIS DATE. WHAT THAT DOES IS UNLOCK THE FINAL INCENTIVE PAYMENT $75,000. AND SO THE REQUEST IS TO EXTEND THAT MILESTONE STONE CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE TO JULY THE 31ST OF THIS YEAR. SO ESSENTIALLY THAT'S 60 DAYS. SOME OF THE REASONS SUPPORTING THE REQUEST CUSTOMARY WITH MANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS PERMITTING ASBESTOS REMOVAL. EXCUSE ME. YOU CAN ANTICIPATE SOME OF IT THAT'S VISIBLE AND WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE PROPERTIES. BUT AS THE DEVELOPERS DISCOVERING SOME OF THOSE UNKNOWNS HAVE TO BE MITIGATED. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. WE LIVE IN THE WORLD OF TARIFFS AND VOLATILE LABOR CONSTRAINTS. AND THEN LASTLY, WE HAD A PRETTY SEVERE WINTER THAT CAUSED SOME CONSTRUCTION DELAYS. ALL THESE THINGS NOTED IN THE FORMAL LETTER THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PACKET. WE TALKED ABOUT THE FINAL

[01:25:04]

INCENTIVE PAYMENT IN TERMS OF THAT MONETARY AMOUNT, THE MILESTONE DATE. OKAY. THESE LAST TWO UPDATES AND AGAIN, WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THIS PROJECT AS WELL CONSULTING WITH THE THE DEVELOPER ON THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. SO WE REFER TO THIS PROJECT ALWAYS AS ENCINA, THEIR CURRENT LOCATION IN NORTH OAK CLIFF, BISHOP BART'S AREA. THE PLAN IS TO ACTUALLY REBRAND THE DUNCANVILLE LOCATION AS ISABELLA. SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE THAT FORMALITY NOW AS THE PROJECT GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER TO COMPLETION. WE'LL KEEP SAYING ENCINA FOR NOW BECAUSE THAT'S THE PROJECT NAME.

THEN THAT BRINGS US TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE REQUEST FROM JC REAL ESTATE, LLC FOR THE BUSINESS. EXPANSION OF THE TEXAS FADES BARBER ACADEMY AND MIDAS TOUCH RETAIL SUPPLY. THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AT THIS TIME.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY I SUGGEST TO THE BOARD TO CONSIDER. I LIKE TO DO POSITIVE MOTIONS JUST BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER. IF IT DOESN'T RECEIVE A MAJORITY, THEN IT'S NOT APPROVED, BUT A MAJORITY.

WHAT IS THE STREET ADDRESS AGAIN? 1414 1014 SOUTH MAIN FOR THE PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT OF A BARBER ACADEMY AND A MIDAS TOUCH RECEIPT, RETAIL SUPPLY OR OTHER RETAILER BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT BE THERE FOREVER OR FOR THAT FIRST TEN YEARS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $200,000, SUBJECT TO A TEN YEAR AMORTIZED REDUCTION OF

[01:30:02]

THE LOAN AMOUNT OF $200,000 OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD. DO YOU WANT A PERFORMANCE STANDARD THAT THAT THERE HAS TO BE NOT ONLY THE BARBER SCHOOL, BUT X NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET LEASED TO AN OPERATING RETAIL BUSINESS WITH A MINIMUM RANGE OF ANNUAL RETAIL SALES. IF YOU JUST SAY YES, I'LL SAY THAT THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE MOTION, BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT RANGE IS.

THEN THAT WAY I CAN PROTECT THE BUSINESS FROM DISCLOSING EXACT NUMBERS. BUT THEY WOULD CERTIFY THAT THROUGH THE AGREEMENT, BY GETTING THE INFORMATION FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO VERIFY.

AND THEN WE'D HAVE TO VERIFY THAT BACK TO YOU. SO THAT, I THINK, CAPTURES ALL THE ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE. CAN WE MOVE TO TABLE THIS TO GET EXACT LANGUAGE DOWN? ABSOLUTELY. OKAY.

YES. YOU MAY I MOVE THAT WE TABLE THIS ACTION ITEM? TO YOUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING, OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING. AND THAT'S AND THAT'S ALL WE NEED ON THAT COUNSELOR.

UNANIMOUS. OKAY. AND I ASSUME THAT YOU WANT THOSE THINGS FEATHERED OUT WITH REGARD TO.

THE LEASED SPACE, OPERATING AN OPEN RETAIL THAT'S GENERATING INCOME, AND THAT WILL GIVE YOU A RANGE OF PERFORMANCE FOR EITHER GROSS SALES OR SALES TAX. CORRECT. AM I CORRECT IN THAT ASSUMPTION? SO I KNOW WHAT AND THE AGREEMENT THAT WE ALSO RECEIVED IN OUR PACKET IT HAD LIKE IT SAYS, FORGIVABLE LOAN GRANT. SO THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT I KIND OF FELT LIKE WASN'T IT'S FORGIVABLE LOAN AMOUNT YOU'RE MAKING. I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE THE WORD LOAN AMOUNT LOAN, BUT I, I PREFER GRANT AND WE'RE MAKING A $200,000 GRANT. THERE'LL HAVE TO BE A RECAPTURE PROVISION IN THE GRANT BECAUSE STATE LAW REQUIRES US TO HAVE ONE. AND SO THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET THEIR PERFORMANCE STANDARDS THAT YOU HAVE ARTICULATED HERE TONIGHT, THAT THE SPACE RETAIL SPACE BE ACTIVELY LEASED AND A BUSINESS OCCUPY IT, THAT'S PRODUCING REVENUE. THANKS, MR. HAGAR AND THE STAFF. I WOULD NOTE THE THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE, AS WELL AS THE INFORMATION WE'VE HAD ALL ALONG BASED ON PROPOSED CLOSING DATES AND THE SCOPE FOR THIS PROJECT, THE APPLICANT IS MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S NECESSARY TO DO THAT WORK TO CLEAN UP THE PROPOSAL, CHANGE THE TITLE, WORDING, ETC. JUST BASED ON WHAT THEIR THE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION IN THE TIMELINE WE HAVE TO FOLLOW BETWEEN THE CDC APPROVAL AND CITY COUNCIL. SO.

AND IF IT PASSES, THEN THE ITEM IS BROUGHT BACK ON THE TABLE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. WHAT'S THE DEADLINE, MR. ANDERSON? I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION. YOU HAVE APRIL 30TH, SO WHY CAN THIS NOT WAIT? SO THE BACKUP CONTRACT ON IT AND THE CONTRACT ENDS WELL, THEN. THEN IT'S NOT THE 30TH OF APRIL, THEN IT'S SOONER THAN THAT THEN. RIGHT. A BACKUP CONTACT. WHICH CONTACT? OKAY.

AND THEN WHEN'S THE NEXT MEETING? APRIL 23RD. BUT THEN WE ALSO GOT TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE. FINANCIAL UNLESS WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING.

[01:40:09]

TRANSIT FISCAL YEAR 2526 ANNUAL UPDATE. STAR TRANSIT IS HERE. PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES ON YOUR WAY UP. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. MARCELO PEREZ, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR.

TONIGHT WE HAVE MISS KIM BRITTON, WHO IS REPRESENTING STAR TRANSIT AND WILL BE GIVING YOU THEIR ANNUAL UPDATE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH AGAIN. MY NAME IS KIM BRITTON. I'M THE DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR STAR TRANSIT. AND WE ALSO HAVE TOMMY HENDRICKS WHO IS OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AS WELL. AND WE DO APPRECIATE YOU GUYS HAVING US TO BRIEF YOU ON WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON FROM THE TRANSIT STANDPOINT. AND I'LL REVIEW CURRENT SERVICES. WE'LL TALK ABOUT RIDERSHIP DATA, AND THEN WE WILL REVIEW THE PROPOSED FY 27 BUDGET. SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT STAR TRANSIT. AS WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR OVER 45 YEARS. WE ARE A PUBLIC SUBDIVISION, PUBLIC SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF TEXAS PROVIDE OVER 215,000 TRIPS WITH A STAFF OF ABOUT 80. WE PUT ABOUT 55 TO 60 VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AND OUR CALL CENTER AVERAGES ABOUT 600 CALLS A DAY. AND THAT'S ABOUT THAT'S MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WE ARE BASED IN KAUFMAN COUNTY, WHERE WE ARE THE DESIGNATED RURAL TRANSIT DISTRICT, AND WE'RE THE FOURTH LARGEST TRANSIT AGENCY IN THIS AREA WITH NO DEDICATED SALES TAX. OUR SERVICE AREA INCLUDES ALL OF KAUFMAN COUNTY, ALL OF ROCKWALL COUNTY, SEAGOVILLE, BOX SPRINGS, MESQUITE, DESOTO, CEDAR HILL, DUNCANVILLE. AND THEN AS OF OCTOBER, WE'VE ADDED HUTCHINS, LANCASTER AND WILMAR TO OUR SERVICE AREA. WE DO PROVIDE SOME TRANSPORTATION IN ELLIS COUNTY, BUT THAT'S THROUGH AN AREA AGENCY ON AGING GRANT TITLE THREE B GRANT. SO WE'RE NOT THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER IN THAT AREA, BUT WE DO PROVIDE SOME THE CURRENT SERVICES WE OPERATE IN DUNCANVILLE. THE FIRST IS OUR DEMAND RESPONSE SERVICE. THIS IS WHERE THE CLIENT, A WRITER, CALLS WITH SCHEDULES A RIDE, AND THEN THE BUS IS SENT. THIS IS OUR PRE-BOOK SERVICE. THEY CAN BOOK ONE BUSINESS DAY UP TO TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. OUR SCHEDULING AGENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BOOK THIS SERVICE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8 TO 4. AND THEN THE BUSSES OPERATE IN THIS AREA MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 6 TO 6. THIS LAUNCHED IN JULY OF 23. IT'S FOR ANYONE THAT NEEDS TRANSPORTATION. YOU CAN BE 13 OR ABOVE TO RIDE BY YOURSELF. DESTINATIONS INCLUDE ANYWHERE IN THE CITY AND THEN SURROUNDING SERVICE AREA. WE DO LEAVE THIS AREA FOR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, SO IF SOMEONE HAS AN APPOINTMENT AT THE VA, PARKLAND, BAYLOR, WE WILL TAKE THEM TO THOSE AREAS. WE JUST WON'T GO INTO DALLAS COUNTY OR DALLAS AREA FOR SHOPPING AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. IT HAS TO BE FOR FOR MEDICAL. THE FARES FOR THIS SERVICE ARE BASED ON DISTANCE, SO THEY WOULD BE BETWEEN 2 AND $12 FOR THOSE THAT ARE 13 TO 59. AND THEN HALF FARES WE DO OFFER FOR THOSE THAT ARE 60 PLUS VETERANS AND OR DISABLED RIDERS, AND THEN CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER DO RIDE FREE WITH A PAID FARE. AND SO WE HAVE ONE BUS, ONE DEDICATED VEHICLE FOR THIS, THIS SPECIFIC SERVICE WITH OUR DEMAND RESPONSE. AGAIN, IT'S THE PRE-BOOK SERVICE WE OFFER OUR CLIENT ADVOCATE PROGRAM. THIS IS UNIQUE TO OUR TRANSIT. THIS IS WE HAVE STAFF THAT ARE TRAINED TO TRAVEL WITH THOSE THAT MIGHT NEED SOME ADDITIONAL HELP. THEY MIGHT UTILIZE A MOBILITY DEVICE AND NEED HELP WITH DOORS, OR THEY MAY BE VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND NEED HELP SHOPPING. AND SO WE PROVIDE STAFF TO DO THAT. AND THEN THIS DOES NOT COST OUR FUNDING PARTNERS OR THE RIDER ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO UTILIZE THIS SERVICE, THE CLIENT ADVOCATE PROGRAM. AND I WANT TO TAKE A STEP BACK FOR OUR FARES PCAS PERSONAL CARE ATTENDANTS. THERE ARE NO CHARGES AS WELL. SO IF SOMEONE HAS A TRAVEL, SOMEONE THAT TRAVELS WITH THEM, THEY'LL PAY THE FARE. BUT THAT SECOND PERSON, IF THEY'RE GOING TO ASSIST, WON'T PAY. IF DOESN'T PAY A FARE. SECOND IS OUR STAR NOW SERVICE. THIS IS THE NEWEST TO OUR PORTFOLIO. WE LAUNCHED THIS JUST BEFORE COVID, WHICH WAS A 19. THIS SERVICE WAS LAUNCHED IN DUNCANVILLE IN 2023.

THE DIFFERENCE? IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF SERVICE AS THE DEMAND RESPONSE. THIS IS JUST SAME DAY BEFORE WE STARTED THIS. THE STAR NOW SERVICE WE DIDN'T OFFER SAME DAY TRAVEL. AND SO WE DO OFFER THAT THROUGH OUR STAR STAR. NOW THIS HAS AN APP, SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE APP AND BOOK YOUR TRIP VIA THE APP. OR IF YOU DON'T UTILIZE SMARTPHONES, THEN YOU CAN CALL OUR CALL CENTER. THIS SERVICE OPERATES MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 6 TO 6. WE DO ALLOW THIS SINCE IT'S THE SAME DAY. WE DO HAVE STAFF AVAILABLE STARTING AT 530 IN THE MORNING THAT CAN BOOK THESE SAME DAY TRIPS. THE FARE STRUCTURE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE THIS IS A

[01:45:05]

MUCH SMALLER ZONE. AND SO THOSE RIDES ARE $2 FOR THAT 13 TO 59 AGE GROUP, AND THEN $1 FOR THOSE THAT ARE 60 PLUS VETERANS AND ARE DISABLED 12 AGAIN, 12 AND UNDER RIDE FREE. WITH THIS SPECIFIC SERVICE, WE CAN HAVE PROMO CODES. SO WE FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE A PROMO CODE TO VOTE.

AND SO WE DO OFFER FREE RIDES FOR VOTING. SO IF YOU GUYS HAD A JOB FAIR OR HAD SOMETHING THAT WAS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY, WE COULD OFFER PROMO CODES THAT WOULD THEN GIVE FREE RIDES. WITH THIS SERVICE, WE HAVE INTEGRATED UBER. AND SO HOW THAT WORKS IS WE HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS A STAR TRANSIT VEHICLE THAT YOU CAN BOOK, OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR, IF THAT IF THE WAIT IS THAT LONG FOR OUR VEHICLE, YOU WOULD HAVE AN OPTION TO, TO TAKE AN UBER AT THE SAME COST AS WELL. SO IT'D BE $2 OR $1. AND SO YOU HAVE A CHOICE ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT AN UBER VEHICLE TO, TO PICK YOU UP. SO THAT IS BY ADDING THAT THROUGH OUR SOFTWARE THAT HAS INCREASED AVAILABILITY AS WELL AS DECREASED WAIT TIMES, WHICH YOU'LL SEE THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WAIT TIMES HERE IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, THIS IS JUST A PICTURE OF THE ZONE. WHEN WE FIRST LAUNCHED IN DUNCANVILLE, THE ZONE, THE THE SAME DAY SERVICE ZONE WAS WAS DUNCANVILLE. WE GOT A REQUEST FROM THE EDC IN THE CITY TO ADD IN CEDAR HILL AND DESOTO. SO THAT OPENED THAT SAME DAY ZONE.

SO NOW YOU CAN TRAVEL WITH THOSE WITHIN THOSE THREE CITIES FOR THAT $1 OR $2, AND THEN ALSO THESE ADDITIONAL DESTINATIONS. SO THESE DESTINATIONS WERE ADDED BASED ON PUBLIC INPUT. SO WHEN WE HAD MEETINGS WITHIN THE CITIES, THESE WERE PLACES THAT CITIZENS FELT LIKE THAT THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO GO SAME DAY. AND SO THAT INCLUDES THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE, THE RED BIRD TRANSIT CENTER, THE DART UNT STATION, THE REDBIRD HEALTH COMPLEX, THE GLEN HEIGHTS PARK AND RIDE, AND THEN AGAIN, CEDAR HILL AND DESOTO. SO FROM A SAME DAY STANDPOINT, YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE WITHIN THOSE THOSE AREAS. THIS IS A HEAT MAP THAT IS PRODUCED BY OUR SOFTWARE. THIS JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT RIDERSHIP LOOKS LIKE AND WHERE THEY'RE GOING. TOP DESTINATIONS YOU CAN SEE THERE ON MY RIGHT IS THE DART UNT STATION. SO THAT GETS QUITE A BIT OF RIDERSHIP. WALMART, THE RED BIRD AREA BECAUSE IT HAS THAT MEDICAL COMPLEX. AND THEN THE ALLIED FAMILY SERVICES AREA AS WELL AS HELPING HANDS ARE SOME OF THE TOP. SO YOU'LL SEE KIND OF THAT YELLOW. THOSE ARE WHAT THOSE LOCATIONS ARE. AND THEN ALSO KROGER, SOME OF THE TOP TRIP PURPOSES WORK, EDUCATION, MEDICAL AND SHOPPING.

FROM A RIDERSHIP STATS STANDPOINT, OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, WE CONTINUE TO SEE GROWTH, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SEE. I MEAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMETHING THAT'S NEW, THERE HAS BEEN A 69% INCREASE IN RIDERSHIP FROM 24 TO 25, WHICH IS AMAZING. SO THAT'S GOOD. YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT THAT SPIKE BETWEEN JUNE AND JULY. WE WORK WITH THE FIELD HOUSE DURING THEIR CAMPS AND PROVIDE TRIPS FOR THEIR ATTENDEES TO GO TO THE LIBRARY OR THE SKATING RINK. AND SO WE WORK WITH THEM DURING THE SUMMER. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT SPIKE IS BECAUSE WE'RE CARRYING THOSE KIDS TO THOSE LOCATIONS. SOME MORE STATS. OUR AVERAGE WAIT TIMES, THIS INCLUDES 23, 24, AND 25. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT STARTED TO GO UP OR WAS HIGHER THAN OUR THRESHOLD IS ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES IS WHAT WE LIKE FOR IT TO BE. YOU CAN SEE ONCE WE ADDED IN THAT UBER ASPECT, THE UBER SHARE ASPECT, THAT THAT TIME WENT DOWN, WHICH IS ACTUALLY LOWER THAN OUR THRESHOLD, WHICH IS REALLY WHAT IS GOOD NEWS. AND THEN FROM AN ELDERLY AND DISABLED PERCENTAGE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT IS STILL STAYS PRETTY HIGH. ABOUT 80% OF OUR RIDERSHIP IS ELDERLY DISABLED WRITERS FROM AN OVERALL STANDPOINT AS WELL AS HERE. SOME ADDITIONAL STATS. WE HAVE AN 88% ON TIME PERFORMANCE.

OUT OF THOSE THAT PROVIDE REVIEWS FOR OUR SERVICE, 90% OF THEM ARE POSITIVE. WE HAVE OVER 557 UNIQUE WRITERS. AND THEN THIS IS AN INTERESTING STAT BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE HIGH. BASED ON OUR OTHER LOCATIONS, 75% ARE AT BOOKINGS, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD. WHAT I FIND INTERESTING IS THAT THERE IS A HIGH NUMBER OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED UTILIZING THIS SERVICE, WHICH GOES TO SHOW THEY'RE USING THEIR SMARTPHONES. AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS THAT'S ALWAYS KIND OF A QUESTION. WELL, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAVE SMARTPHONES.

WELL, WE'RE SEEING A TREND IN THAT GOING UP. SO WHICH IS GOOD FROM A MARKETING STRATEGY STANDPOINT, WE ARE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERS. WE DO PRESS RELEASES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, THE FREE RIDES TO VOTE AS WELL AS OUR AS WELL AS OUR RIDER APPRECIATION WEEK THAT WEEK. WE DO OFFER FREE RIDES THE ENTIRE WEEK TO, TO JUST KIND OF SHOW OUR APPRECIATION TO OUR RIDERS.

WE DO SPONSOR CITY CHAMBER EVENTS. WE WERE IN THE PARADE FOR THE HISPANIC HERITAGE

[01:50:02]

FESTIVAL, AND THEN WE PARTICIPATED IN THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS IN THE PARK. AND THEN WE ALSO USED THE CHAMBER EMAIL, THE DEDICATED EMAIL THAT WAS SENT OUT, INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES. AND THEN ONE THING THAT I FORGOT TO LIST ON HERE IS THE LOGO. THE EDC LOGO IS ON THE VEHICLE THAT OPERATES IN AND AROUND THIS AREA AS WELL. ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON TO BUDGET? SO MOVING ON TO BUDGET. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS SOME BACKGROUND ON THE GRANTS, WHEN WE STARTED HERE AND THREE YEARS AGO THROUGH COG, THE CITY AS WELL AS STAR TRANSIT, SECURED A 53 GRANT FUND FROM COG. AND SO THAT THAT SPLIT WAS 8,020%. SO YOU GUYS HAD TO COVER THAT 20% LOCAL MATCH. AND SO THAT PARTICULAR GRANT SUPPORTED BOTH OF THOSE SERVICES. SO YOUR ON DEMAND SERVICE, WHICH IS THE PRE BOOKED SERVICE AS WELL AS THE STAR NOW SERVICE. AND SO IT WAS A THREE YEAR GRANT. THEY CONSIDER THAT A PILOT. SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE MOVING INTO IS NOW WHAT IS SERVICES LOOK LIKE OR BUDGET LOOKS LIKE AFTER THAT GRANT. AND SO FROM STARTING IN FY 27 AND ON WE HAVE SECURED THE 5307, WHICH IS AN URBANIZED AREA FORMULA FUNDS GRANT. THAT GRANT IS A 6040 SPLIT. AND SO THAT WILL COVER THE STAR NOW SERVICES, WHICH IS THAT SAME DAY SERVICE. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE ALSO SECURED THE 5310 GRANT, THE ENHANCED MOBILITY GRANT. AND SO WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO. WHEREAS BEFORE IT'S A 6040, WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE THAT 8,020%. THAT REMAINS THE SAME, WHICH IS WHICH IS GREAT NEWS. AND SO THAT APPLIES TO THE DEMAND RESPONSE SERVICE. SO THAT'S HOW THAT IS WOULD BE FUNDED. SO FROM A PROPOSED BUDGET, JUST SO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WOULD THEY WE WILL PRESENT TO THEM IN APRIL THE COST OF SERVICE. THEY WILL APPROVE THAT COST OF SERVICE IN MAY. AND THEN WE WILL SEND COST OF SERVICE LETTERS OUT TO OUR PARTNERS IN JUNE. SO THIS IS A PROPOSED BUDGET BECAUSE WE. WE THEY HAVE NOT APPROVED APPROVED THE HOURLY COST. SO HOW THAT BREAKS DOWN IS THERE'S 250 DAYS OF SERVICE. WE DO 20 HOURS OF SERVICE EVERY DAY BETWEEN THOSE TWO SERVICES. THE PROPOSED COST, HOURLY COST OF SERVICE IS $60.25. THE TNC, WHICH IS YOUR UBER SHARE, IS $12,000. THAT'S A SET COST. WHAT'S GOOD IS WE'RE ABLE TO CONTROL THAT COST.

AND SO WE OUR SYSTEM WILL ALLOW US TO PUT THAT BUDGET IN, AND THEN WE WILL STAY WITHIN THAT BUDGET SO THAT THAT'S A FIXED COST. SO THE TOTAL ENDS UP BEING A LITTLE OVER $313,000.

WE'RE ABLE TO GET THOSE GRANTS SUBSIDY FOR 216,875, WHICH LEADS THE LOCAL MATCHED AT 96,375, WHICH IS A MONTHLY CHARGE OF $8,031.25. SO THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT INCREASE FROM THE THREE YEAR COST. DID YOU? I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED ANY MENTION BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT FRIDAY. ARE YOU. OH YEAH. THE GRANT. SO JUST AT THE BOTTOM THAT THEN THAT GRANT THAT'S WHAT IS THAT'S WHAT THE GRANT WHAT THE COST IS NOW. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT. BRIEFING ON PARKS AND

[8.B. Briefing on Parks and Recreation FY25-26 Annual Update ]

RECREATION FISCAL YEAR 2526 ANNUAL UPDATE. AFTERNOON OR EVENING DC DC. MY NAME IS TYLER AGEE. I'M THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, AS WELL AS BART STEVENSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION, HERE TO PRESENT THE FOUR B BEAUTIFICATION FUND UPDATE FOR THE BOARD. SO JUST THE PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND OF THIS PRESENTATION IS TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF HOW FOUR B BEAUTIFICATION FUNDS HAVE BEEN USED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

HIGHLIGHT PROJECTS AND SERVICES COMPLETED TO DATE, AND THEN SHARING SOME UPCOMING BEAUTIFICATION PRIORITIES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR AND FUTURE FISCAL YEARS TO DATE. SO, FOUR B BEAUTIFICATION BUDGET SUMMARY CURRENT BUDGET ALLOCATIONS THIS YEAR, WE WERE APPROVED FOR $349,000 AND 580,000 $349,582. AND WE'VE SPENT TO DATE, 84,600 647 STILL

[01:55:01]

ENCUMBERED AND COMMITTED, IS ABOUT 197,205. AND THEN THE REMAINING BALANCE OF UNALLOCATED FUNDS IS 67,729. SO PRIMARY SPENDING CATEGORIES, CATEGORIES AMONG BEAUTIFICATION IS THE KEEP DUNCANVILLE BEAUTIFUL BOARD OPERATIONS AND EVENTS, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT FOR RIGHT OF WAYS AND TEXTILE PROPERTIES, AND THEN BEAUTIFICATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENTS. SOME OF THE THE COMPLETED TASKS FOR FY 26 FROM KEEP DUNCANVILLE BEAUTIFUL WOULD BE THEIR OPERATIONS AND EVENTS. SO THEY'VE HAD NUMEROUS EVENTS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, KDB HOSTED THEIR ANNUAL WORKSHOP AND RETREAT WHERE THEY ALLOCATED AGENDA ITEMS AND PRIORITIES FOR THE YEAR. THE TREE CITY USA ANNUAL REPORT AND AFFILIATE RECOGNITION. ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION AND TREE GIVEAWAY AT ARMSTRONG PARK. TWO ROUNDS OF RESIDENTIAL CURB APPEAL AND BUSINESS BEAUTIFICATION AWARDS. KEEP TEXAS BEAUTIFUL ANNUAL REPORT MEMBERSHIP AND GOLD STAR AFFILIATE RECOGNITION. WE JUST COMPLETED THE GCAA GOVERNOR GOVERNOR'S COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD SUBMISSION. WE HOSTED OUR ANNUAL LITTER SURVEY, OPERATION CLEAN DUNCANVILLE SUPPORT, AND THEN IT'S ALSO FUNDING THE SEED LIBRARY CATALOG AT THE DUNCANVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PERSPECTIVE WOULD BE CHEMICAL SUPPLIES, INCLUDING HERBICIDES, FERTILIZERS, AND INSECTICIDES.

SO THIS BEAUTIFICATION FUNDS A LOT OF THE CHEMICAL APPLICATION FOR THE RIGHT OF WAYS, MEDIANS AND SOME OF THE TECHDOC PROPERTIES. A PORTION OF NEW TREE PLANTINGS ACROSS THE CITY.

SO SOME OF THESE FUNDS COME FROM OUR GENERAL FUND HORTICULTURAL BUDGET, AS WELL AS THE FOUR B BEAUTIFICATION SEASONAL COLOR CHANGE. SO THE TULIPS, THE PANSIES, POINSETTIAS, THINGS LIKE THAT THAT YOU SEE IN THE MEDIANS, RIGHT OF WAYS AT THE CITY FACILITIES IN THE WINTER, WE DO PANSIES, SPRING TULIPS, AND WE'RE GETTING READY FOR AN EXCHANGE NOW. SO WE'LL BE CHANGING OUT A LOT OF THOSE BEDS. IF THEY LOOK KIND OF BARREN NOW, WE'LL BE PUTTING IN FLOWERS PRETTY SOON. NEW STREET SIDE TRASH RECEPTACLES. SO WE'RE ROLLING OUT MEDIAN TRASH CANS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LITTER THAT IS SEEN IN THE STREETS. AND THEN NEW TRASH COMPACTORS FOR THE DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR. WE JUST THEY JUST ARRIVED LAST WEEK, SO WE'LL BE INSTALLING THEM PRETTY SOON. AND THEN THE BIGGEST ALLOCATION OF WHAT THESE FUNDS IS USED FOR IS CITYWIDE MOWING AND LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT OF MEDIANS, RIGHT OF WAYS AND THE TEXTILE PROPERTIES. THE COMMUNITY IMPACT OF THESE, THESE FUNDS.

SO IDEALLY THEY MAINTAIN AN ATTRACTIVE CORRIDORS AND PUBLIC PUBLIC SPACES FOR THE CITY. WE USE IT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE AND CLEANLINESS, SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE AND VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT THROUGH CLEANUPS, ADOPT THE PARK PROGRAMS, AND THEN STRENGTHEN BEAUTIFICATION PARTNERSHIPS AND CITY RECOGNITION PROGRAMS. WE ALSO TRANSITION TOWARDS A MORE DURABLE AND DROUGHT TOLERANT LANDSCAPE. IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CITY AND PARKS, SOME OF THE UPCOMING BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ON THE DOCKET FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR IS CONCORD HILL UNDERPASS, THE I-20 UNDERPASS, TRYING TO INSTALL SOME LED IMPROVEMENT LIGHTS AND SOME ART ON THE COLUMNS ON OUR SIDE, AS OPPOSED TO THE DALLAS SIDE WHEATLAND ROAD TREE BARRIER. SO WE'RE TRYING TO INSTALL SOME SPECIFIC TYPES OF TREES TO HELP BEAUTIFY THE WHEATLAND CORRIDOR NEAR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CITYWIDE RIGHT AWAY, PERENNIAL AND DROUGHT TOLERANT MATERIAL DESIGN. SO WE'RE LOOKING TO CHANGE UP SOME OF THE MEDIAN RIGHT OF WAY BED DESIGN TO BE MORE MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY AND DROUGHT TOLERANT, SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THE CITY LOOKING BEAUTIFUL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ADDITIONAL KEEP DUNCANVILLE BEAUTIFUL EVENTS. THIS UPCOMING SATURDAY WE HAVE OUR GARDENING WORKSHOP. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO ATTEND, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU UPCOMING SPRING AND COLOR CHANGES. WE'RE WORKING ON THOSE NOW AND THEN. LANDSCAPE BED RENOVATIONS, CONVERTING AREAS TO DROUGHT TOLERANT MATERIALS.

THEN WE HAVE SOME DIFFERENT AGENDAS COMING UP FOR THE FUTURE YEARS. I'LL PASS IT OVER TO DIRECTOR BART. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, BART STEVENSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. AND I JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD A KIND OF A, A PHILOSOPHICAL SHIFT THAT WE WERE WORKING ON AT A STAFF LEVEL. AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS, BUT IF NOT, THERE'LL BE NEW TO YOU TONIGHT. WE WERE ACTUALLY WORKING IN BOTH THIS FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET AS WELL AS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET PREPARATIONS THAT WE WERE WELL UNDERWAY WITH, OF TRYING TO SHIFT A LOT OF OUR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OUT OF THE DC, DC FUND, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT TYLER JUST TALKED ABOUT WITH THE BED COLOR AND THE MOWING AND THE RIGHTS OF WAYS AND THE MEDIANS AND 20 AND 67, WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO REDUCE THOSE COSTS. AND IF WE CAN EVEN TRY TO MOVE THEM OVER TO THE GENERAL FUND, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE ABLE TO, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THAT IN YEAR ONE. IT MAY TAKE US A FEW YEARS TO GET

[02:00:01]

THERE, BUT THAT IS OUR GOAL. AND THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO ACTIVELY PURSUE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE DC EDC ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR OUR PARKS. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU CAN READILY SEE AND SEE THE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, I HAVE A A LONG LIST OF CIP PROJECTS OF WHICH I HAVE LITTLE TO NO FUNDING. WE WE WILL HAVE SOME FUNDING COMING BACK FROM OUR HARRINGTON PARK PROJECT. WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH OUR ADMINISTRATION ON POSSIBLY USING SOME ONE TIME FUNDS FROM OUR OUR FUND BALANCE TO DO A FEW PROJECTS, BUT REALLY KIND OF REESTABLISHING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DC EDC MORE TOWARDS CAPITAL PROJECTS. AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK THAT WOULD BE A WELCOME I HOPE FOR FROM YOU GUYS. AND WE HAVE A OUR FIRST SUBMITTAL TO DO TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. MARLON AND HIS TEAM ON APRIL 3RD. AND SO WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER A LIST OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 THAT WE THINK WE COULD PARTNER ON. BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM YOU AT THIS TIME. IF YOU ALL HAVE SOME SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN MULLING ABOUT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTNER ON, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME, I GUESS, THAT YOU COULD SHARE WITH ME BEFORE WE SUBMIT THAT LIST TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR THE APRIL 3RD DEADLINE. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO STOP FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND AND OPEN UP TO YOU GUYS. IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY PROJECTS THAT Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN WITHIN OUR PARKS. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC PROJECTS, BUT I DO ALWAYS WANT TO REFER BACK TO. I KNOW WE INVESTED IN A PARKS MASTER PLAN A FEW YEARS AGO, SO I'M ASSUMING THERE ARE SOME GUIDING PRINCIPLES WITHIN THAT MASTER PLAN THAT WILL HELP SORT OF GUIDE OUR DIRECTION. AS FAR AS THOSE IMPROVEMENTS GO. AND HOPEFULLY THAT PLAN WAS DONE IN A MANNER IN WHICH Y'ALL SPECIFICALLY PARTNERED WITH THE MASTER PLAN, THE LAD NATURE PRESERVE. AND YES, THAT MASTER PLAN WAS COMPLETE. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE MANY PROJECTS ON OUR LIST THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET GOING. IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE MASTER PLAN. IF WE'RE TO PLAN, IT'S A $9 MILLION PARK IMPROVEMENT. OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO DO IN ONE FELL SWOOP. SO AGAIN, PROBABLY BROKEN UP INTO PHASES. BUT PHASE ONE OF THAT, WHATEVER THAT MAY LOOK LIKE, IT'S CERTAINLY ON OUR LIST. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. I DO APPRECIATE THE STATEMENT ABOUT MOVING TOWARDS DROUGHT TOLERANT MATERIALS. THAT WAS ACTUALLY A CHARGE THAT CAME FROM THIS EDC MANY YEARS AGO. I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS LOST SOMEWHERE, BUT IT WAS A CHARGE TO BASICALLY IMPLEMENT DROUGHT, A PERCENTAGE OF YOUR PLANTINGS EVERY YEAR FOR DRAMA TOLERANT PLANNING MATERIALS. SO HOLLY, SUPPORT THAT. GREAT. I'M PROUD OF OUR TEAM FOR DOING THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. STEVENSON? ALL RIGHT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT BRIEFING. POLICE DEPARTMENT 2526 ANNUAL UPDATE.

[8.C. Briefing on Police Department FY25-26 Annual Update ]

AND THE CHIEF HIMSELF IS HERE. HI. GOOD EVENING, MATTHEW STOGNER. AS YOU CAN TELL BY MY UNIFORM, I AM WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO THIS IS I THINK SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS ALREADY. I PROVIDED THIS TO OUR COUNCIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. HONESTLY, I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT IT KIND OF ENCAPSULATES WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SINCE I TOOK OVER AS THE POLICE CHIEF. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WAS IMPERATIVE IS GIVING SOMEWHAT OF DIRECTION ON WHAT WHAT IS OUR GOAL? WHAT TYPE OF POLICING ARE WE GOING TO DO? AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GIVE YOUR PEOPLE DIRECTION ON HOW YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE OR WHAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE. WE WERE, AND THIS ISN'T A HIT ON ANYBODY PREVIOUSLY. DON'T TAKE THAT AS SUCH. THIS IS JUST ME IMPLEMENTING MY OWN PLAN HERE AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO WE WERE VERY REACTIVE IN A LOT OF OUR THINGS THAT WE DID PREVIOUSLY. NOW WE STILL DO THAT SOME SORT. BUT WE ARE NOW MORE PROACTIVE IN SOME OF THE EFFORTS THAT WE HAVE. SO WHAT WE'VE INCORPORATED IS EVIDENCE BASED. OUR HOT SPOT POLICING. WHAT THAT IS, IS YOU TAKE THE DATA. I'M VERY DATA DRIVEN WHEN IT COMES TO MY DECISIONS, WHETHER IT'S POLICE RESPONSE, WHETHER IT'S ADDING AN ADDITIONAL OFFICER IN PATROL OR INVESTIGATIONS OR DEPLOYMENT, WHEREVER IT IS, IT'S THERE HAS TO BE SOME METRICS THERE THAT I CAN PROVE. SO HOTSPOT POLICING,

[02:05:05]

I'M NOT GOING TO READ THIS VERBATIM, BUT IT TAKES IT TARGETS SMALL AREAS.

DUNCANVILLE IS A MIDSIZE SMALL OR SMALL CITY. RATHER. IT'S 12MI■!S, BUT YOU HAVE HOTSPOTS.

YOU GOT TO REMEMBER IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR MINIMUM STAFFING IS FOUR OFFICERS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT INCREASING THAT BECAUSE WE AVERAGE. AND YOU'LL SEE HERE ROUGHLY 60,000 CALLS A YEAR THAT POLICE OFFICERS ARE RESPONDING TO. AND I BELIEVE IF MY MATH IS CORRECT, AGAIN, WE'LL LOOK AT THIS SLIDE. IT'S ABOUT 200 CALLS PER SHIFT OR PER 24 HOUR PERIOD. THAT'S A LOT OF CALLS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, WE HAVE FOUR POLICE DISTRICTS STARTING WITH ESSENTIALLY MAIN AND CENTER IS OUR DIVIDING LINE OF OUR I'M SORRY, MAIN AND WHEATLAND IS OUR DIVIDING LINE OF OUR POLICE DISTRICT. SO NORTHWEST IS OUR OUR 11 111 DISTRICT. THAT'S WHERE THE HIGH SCHOOL IS. SO YOU GUYS KNOW, NORTHEAST IS OUR TWO DISTRICT OR 12. THAT'S. OLIVE GARDEN, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND THEN. 13 OUR SOUTHEAST IS 67 AND THEN SOUTHWEST IS OUR LARGEST DISTRICT THAT IS MORE RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS DATA FROM OCTOBER 2025. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, THE HOTSPOTS, THAT'S WHERE OUR THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLES ARE. THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED. ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS BURGLARY OF VEHICLES, PEOPLE BREAKING INTO CARS. SO WHEN YOU SEE THESE HOTSPOTS, THAT'S WHERE YOU SEND YOUR POLICE OFFICERS TO THE CORRIDOR. YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE CORRIDOR. THAT'S WHERE THESE THINGS HAPPEN. AND AS I PROGRESS THROUGH THIS, THESE ARE THE STOLEN VEHICLES. AND THEN THIS IS ALL OF THEM PUT TOGETHER. SO WHEN YOU SEE MAIN AND CAMP WISDOM'S A FAIRLY HOT AREA. SO WE PUT A LOT OF OUR RESOURCES THERE. THE STUFF IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE IT'S VERY SPORADIC.

IT'S MORE CRIMES OF OPPORTUNITY. SO WE TEND TO STICK WITH 67 AND 20 KIND OF OUR DECIDING FACTORS ON THESE CORRIDORS. SO WHAT ARE THE ROLES? AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THESE TO YOU GUYS, BUT ULTIMATELY MY ROLE IS THE VISION OF THIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT TRICKLES DOWN FROM THERE. EVERYBODY HAS A ROLE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ON WHAT HOTSPOT POLICING IS. SO AN EXAMPLE THIS IS JUST FOR YOU GUYS. SO 67, WE WERE GETTING HIT FAIRLY HARD ON BURGLARY OF VEHICLES AND STOLEN VEHICLES. STOLEN VEHICLES ARE ALSO THAT'S UNAUTHORIZED USE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE. SO THE MONTH PRIOR TO US INITIATING THIS PROGRAM, WE HAD 11 BURGLARY OF VEHICLES IN TWO STOLEN VEHICLES. THAT'S OUT OF PAPPADEAUX. WHEN WE DID OUR INITIATIVE, IT DROPPED TO ONE BMV FOR THAT FOLLOWING MONTH. SO IT WORKS, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE RESOURCES. RESOURCES COST MONEY. SO THIS JUST THAT ONE OPERATION COST ABOUT $12,000 IN OVERTIME. THAT'S NOT WE CAN'T DO THAT EVERY MONTH. MY OVERTIME BECAUSE THAT'S JUST FOR THESE OPERATIONS, MY OVERTIME. A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH OFFICERS CALLING IN SICK THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO WE ALSO RELY ON TECHNOLOGY. SO THIS IS OUR FIRST DRONE FIRST RESPONDER. IT IS SOMEWHAT AUTONOMOUS. BUT IT STILL REQUIRES AN OFFICER OR SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY FLY IT. OR YOU CAN WATCH IT. IT HAS TO BE SOME OVERWATCH ON IT. SO IT'S CURRENTLY HOUSED ON TOP OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE WE'RE SOMEWHAT CENTRALIZED. IT TAKES BATTERY WINDY DAY. WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET IT ON SITE FOR FIVE MINUTES BEFORE WE HAVE TO BRING IT BACK.

SO WE ONLY HAVE ONE OF THESE. AND I'LL SHOW YOU KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IN THE FUTURE. BUT MY OTHER VISION OBVIOUSLY IS A NEW FACILITY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT ALSO THE FUTURE OF POLICING IS TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY, REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER. A LOT OF TIMES YOU MAY HEAR REAL TIME CRIME CENTER, BUT IT'S MORE INTELLIGENCE GATHERING IS WHAT WE'LL BE DOING. SO OUR DRONE FIRST RESPONDER, SINCE WE IMPLEMENTED IT IN DECEMBER, WE'VE HAD THIS MANY FLIGHTS. WE WERE FIRST ON SCENE 30% OF THE TIME. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE USED FOR, IS TO KIND OF SCOPE OUT AND GIVE INTELLIGENCE FOR THE OFFICERS. THE OFFICERS CAN SEE THIS IN THEIR CARS, THE FOOTAGE OF THESE DRONES. SO THESE ARE JUST SOME. SO FOOT

[02:10:05]

CHASES. SO THIS IS IT BEING DEPLOYED ON A FOOT CHASE. AND IT'S CUT A LITTLE BIT TO SAVE TIME. BUT IT HAPPENED THERE AT WHEATLAND PLAZA. SO SUSPECT HERE. AND THEN IT'LL CUT IN A SECOND. YOU'LL SEE THEM RUNNING THERE THROUGH THE PARKING LOT DRONE. YOU'LL SEE THEM ZOOM IN THERE. SO ALL OF THIS, THE, THE DRONE OPERATOR IS GIVING INTEL TO OUR OFFICERS ON WHERE THE SUSPECT'S GOING. IF THE SUSPECT'S ARMED WHEN HE'S RUNNING THINGS OF THAT NATURE, THE SUSPECT GETS CAUGHT. HE JUMPS THE FENCE AGAIN AND FALLS IN. THE SUSPECT GETS CAUGHT, BUT THERE'S. WE'LL WATCH ALL. THIS IS ANOTHER FOOT CHASE.

SO THIS IS REALLY WHAT I WANT YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT IS. THE OTHER THING THAT WE USE THIS FOR IS SIMPLY PATROLLING OUR CORRIDOR. HAVING SOMEBODY SITTING IN THE STATION, BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT THESE BUILDINGS WITHOUT HAVING A PRESENCE THERE, HOPEFULLY CATCHING PEOPLE DOING THIS WITHOUT SEEING A SQUAD CAR AND ULTIMATELY RUNNING. THE GOAL IS TO CATCH THEM ON THIS AND THEN SET UP A PERIMETER SO WE DON'T LOSE THEM. SO THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT THAT DRONE FIRST RESPONDER IS, THE DRONE THAT WE HAVE ON TOP OF OUR STATION. I'M LOOKING AT ADDING SEVERAL MORE IN THE CITY JUST TO HELP WITH THE COVERAGE AND THE BATTERY LIFE.

SO OUR OVERALL NUMBERS, I WAS A LITTLE HIGH WHEN I ESTIMATED IT'S ABOUT 52,000. I GIVE YOU THIS JUST JUST TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE SLIDES TOWARD THE END. AND AGAIN, I CAN GO THROUGH THESE NUMBERS, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE OUR NARCOTICS. WE'VE. OVER THIS PAST YEAR, THEY SEIZED APPROXIMATELY $16 MILLION WORTH OF OF ILLEGAL NARCOTICS. THAT'S SIGNIFICANT.

SO. TOTAL REPORTED OFFENSES. THIS IS WHAT WE REPORT TO THE STATE. SO WE HAD 1417 TOTAL OFFENSES REPORTED. THAT IS EVERYTHING FROM A THEFT OF A VEHICLE TO A BMV, WHATEVER IT IS. SO THIS IS OUR MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME STATS FOR 2025. SO OF THE 1417 179 WERE MOTOR VEHICLE THEFTS. THERE WERE STOLEN CARS, 252 WERE THEFTS FROM MOTOR VEHICLES AND 33 WERE THEFT OF MOTOR VEHICLE PARTS. SO TOTALING ABOUT 464 TOTAL OFFENSES. SO TOTAL MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME REPRESENTED 30% OF ALL REPORTED CRIME IN DUNCANVILLE. SO 31% OF OUR CRIME IS BASED ON VEHICLES ALONE. SO HOW DOES THAT RELEVANT TO YOU ALL? WELL, OUR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ACCOUNTED FOR 37% OF THOSE OFFENSES. SO IT'S IT'S THERE. IT'S THOSE CORRIDORS THAT I WAS TELLING YOU GUYS ABOUT. SO WHILE OUR MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT DECREASED IN NEIGHBORHOODS, IT INCREASED IN COMMERCIAL AREAS BY 8%. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS ALL OF 2025.

SO ON THE LEFT YOU HAVE THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLES WHICH ARE BURGLARIES. AND THEN ON THE RIGHT YOU HAVE MOTOR VEHICLE THEFTS, WHICH IS STOLEN VEHICLES. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT AS A POLICE CHIEF, IT'S PRETTY EASY TO IDENTIFY WHERE YOUR HOTSPOTS ARE THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON. SO THE THE DENSE AREAS ARE WHERE IT'S HAPPENING THE MOST. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU DEPLOY YOUR RESOURCES. SO THESE ARE ALL THE GROUP A OFFENSES. AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO BORE YOU WITH WITH EVERYTHING. SO THE STATE OF TEXAS GROUP A OFFENSES ACTUALLY DECREASED OR HAVE BEEN DECREASING SINCE ABOUT 2023. AND IN FROM 2024 TO 2025, IT DECREASED ABOUT 10%.

IN DUNCANVILLE, WE HAD A 25% DECREASE IN CRIME FROM 24 TO 25. THAT'S SIGNIFICANT. THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN DUNCANVILLE, AT LEAST IN MY TIME BEING A POLICE OFFICER HERE SINCE 98. AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WITH ME OR ME SITTING HERE SAYING, LOOK WHAT I DID. THIS WAS ALL OF THE PEOPLE OVER THERE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT UNDERSTANDING WHAT HOTSPOT POLICING IS AND UNDERSTANDING THE ROLES, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF A

[02:15:04]

DECREASE. NOW, I WILL SAY, AND I SO I TOLD THE COUNCIL THIS AS WELL. I DIDN'T PRESENT THIS TO THEM JUST BECAUSE OF THIS DECREASE. I AM A BIG ENOUGH PERSON TO REALIZE THAT IF THAT WAS A 25% INCREASE, I WOULD STAND AT THIS SAME PODIUM AND TAKE MY LEGS. SO THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN CRIME. SO ULTIMATELY CRIMES AGAINST PERSON, WE REDUCE THOSE BY 25% AGAINST PROPERTY 24% AND AGAINST SOCIETY 32% FROM 2025. NOW, THESE ARE SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE ARE WE WERE ACCOMPLISHED IN 2025. A LOT OF THAT IS OUR HOTSPOT POLICING, OUR AXON. THAT IS WHERE OUR TECHNOLOGY IS. IT'S THROUGH AXON. IT'S WHERE OUR DRONE FIRST RESPONDER IS OUR OUR BODY WORN CAMERAS. WE HAVE LICENSE PLATE READERS AROUND THE CITY. THOSE ALLOW US TO CATCH THESE SUSPECTS. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I STARTED WHEN YOU WOULD ARREST SOMEBODY FOR DOING SOMETHING BAD IN DUNCANVILLE, AND THEY WOULD HAVE THAT. I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME TO DUNCANVILLE STATEMENT. AND IT'S TRUE. ABOUT ONE OUT OF EVERY 3 OR 4 PEOPLE YOU WOULD ARREST, THEY WOULD SAY THAT BACK IN THE LATE 90S, EARLY 2000. WE ARE GETTING BACK TO THAT NOW BECAUSE MY JOB IS TO HOLD THAT PERSON ACCOUNTABLE. IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME HERE NOW, IF THE LAWS NEED TO BE CHANGED, THAT'S NOT UP TO ME. THAT'S UP TO THE LEGISLATION. AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THESE LAWS IN PLACE, WE'RE GOING TO ENFORCE THEM. AND THEN THAT IS IT. OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION. OF COURSE, AT ONE TIME THE CITY USED TO PURSUE THE THE CHIEF'S CERTIFICATION PROGRAM. YEAH. THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEF'S ACCREDITATION. RIGHT. IS THAT IS THAT STILL? YES. WE GOT REACCREDITED. WELL, WE JUST GOT REACCREDITED. ACTUALLY, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE MONTH, BUT WE GOT IT MAYBE DECEMBER, NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. MY COUSIN WHO'S A CHIEF OF, OF HUTCHINS ACTUALLY GAVE US THE ACCREDITATION CERTIFICATION HERE AT A COUNCIL MEETING. SO WE ARE STILL A BEST PRACTICE AGENCY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO HOW MUCH HOW MUCH COVERAGE DO YOU GET ON THAT DRONE? THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE NOW? AND I GUESS THE FOLLOW UP QUESTION WILL BE. IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE, HOW MANY DRONES DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE TO. AND I, AND I SAY THAT WITH THIS, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THAT. I CAN SEE WHERE IT HELPS YOU ALL BE MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE SAFE, ESPECIALLY IF THAT DRONE CAN, CAN CONSISTENTLY TELL IF THAT PERSON, IF THAT OFFENDER HAS A WEAPON OR NOT. THAT'S THAT'S HUGE. SO AS, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET? SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I'LL TELL YOU, YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THE CITY BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE ULTIMATELY YOU'RE GOING TO INSTALL THEM ON A BUILDING.

AND I DON'T WANT TO INSTALL THEM ON A PRIVATE BUSINESS. AND THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SOUTH FIRE STATION THERE ON MAIN STREET. SO THAT WOULD COVER THE SOUTHERN AREA OF OUR CITY. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NORTH SIDE, THE FIRE STATION THERE THAT'LL COVER THAT NORTH AREA AND SPECIFICALLY CAMP WISDOM MAIN AREA. AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING HOPEFULLY IF THE THIRD FIRE STATION GETS APPROVED YEARS FROM NOW, YOU KNOW, 1 OR 2 YEARS FROM NOW, I GUESS WHENEVER THEY GET THAT STARTED, WE'LL INSTALL IT ON THEIR FIRE STATION BECAUSE THAT WOULD COVER THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY AND IT IS NEEDED. NOW, ONE DRONE CAN CERTAINLY COVER 12MI■, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, AND WE'VE HAD THIS ISSUE IS ON A VERY WINDY DAY, IT WOULD PROBABLY GO OUT AND DEPLOY SOMEWHERE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, AND THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK IN TO HAVE THAT BATTERY CHANGED FAIRLY QUICKLY. AND IT DOES IT ON ITS OWN SO IT FLIES BACK, DOCS, COVER SHOTS, AND THEN IT REPLACES ITS OWN BATTERY AND THEN TAKES OFF AGAIN. SOUNDS LIKE AI. WELL, THAT IS THE FUTURE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

AND I JUST HAD A MEETING THIS MORNING WITH MY POLICE STAFF OR MY ADMINISTRATION THAT I'M A VERY, I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT LIKES TO PRINT THINGS OFF AND READ THEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO MOVE MYSELF TO START READING STUFF OFF THE COMPUTER. BUT THAT'S JUST NOT ME. I LIKE WRITING NOTES ON PAPER, BUT THAT IS THE FUTURE OF POLICING. YOU KNOW

[02:20:01]

WHAT? WHAT HAPPENS 40 YEARS FROM NOW? YOU KNOW, AND I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR.

WE'RE NOT WHEN THESE THINGS ARE BEING FLOWN, DEPLOYED OUT TO LOCATIONS, WE'RE NOT SCANNING PEOPLE'S YARDS AS IS AS THIS THING'S MOVING TO IT. THAT'S NOT OUR JOB. I MEAN, IF I CATCH SOMEBODY DOING IT, THEN THEY'LL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS CERTAINLY A GOOD RESOURCE FOR US. I COULD SEE WHERE SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE PRIVACY.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. OKAY. MISS ABNEY HAS QUESTIONS, OF COURSE. YES. I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. FIRST OF ALL, I NOTICED ON THE SLIDE BEFORE YOU HAD. YOU'RE GOING TO ADD TWO POLICE POSITIONS. SO ARE YOU ALREADY BUDGETED FOR THAT IN THE CURRENT BUDGET OR. WE ARE. YES, MA'AM. SO IN FY 26 WE GOT THAT APPROVED. I BELIEVE IT WAS 26 ACTUALLY IN FY 25. WE HAD THOSE TWO ADDED. NOW THROUGH SOME ATTRITION WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET FULLY STAFFED. BUT I'M HAPPY TO SAY WE HIRED 13 OFFICERS LAST YEAR AND WE'VE IN A. I THINK WE'RE PLUS EIGHT. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS WE'VE ADDED MORE THAN WE'VE LOST. AND THOSE THAT WE'VE LOST HAVE BEEN. ASSISTANT CHIEF TERENA IS NOW THE POLICE CHIEF IN RED OAK, ASSISTANT CHIEF CHRIS REESE, WHO IS NOW THE POLICE CHIEF IN THE CITY OF OR THE TOWN OF ADDISON. SO IT'S NOT LEAVING FOR, HEY, THERE'S GREENER PASTURES ON THE OTHER SIDE. IT'S OPPORTUNITIES. IT'S PEOPLE WHO ARE WANTING TO SPREAD THEIR WINGS A LITTLE BIT.

AND I THINK THAT'S THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE CULTURE AT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT NOW. YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. WHERE DO YOU TRAIN YOUR OFFICERS NOW? YOU MENTIONED THE NEW FACILITY. I KNOW THAT'S FUTURE ON THE LIST, BUT WHERE DO YOU TRAIN YOUR OFFICERS NOW? YOU SAID YOU HIRED SOME ADDITIONAL ONES THIS YEAR. DO YOU USE, LIKE, SISTER CITY FACILITIES OR COUNTY, OR DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN? WELL IT DEPENDS. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT POLICE ACADEMY OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IN-SERVICE TRAINING OR BOTH? THE POLICE ACADEMY. SO LISTEN, THAT IS A HUGE GOAL OF MINE IS TO BE ABLE TO HOST OUR OWN POLICE ACADEMY. WE DO A LOT OF REGIONAL THINGS.

US TOO, SOTO AND CEDAR HILL. AND WHEN I WAS A LIEUTENANT, I WAS THAT WAS A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY WITH SOME PARTNERS THAT I KNEW, OBVIOUSLY IN CEDAR HILL, DESOTO. AND WE'RE ALL FOR IT BECAUSE NOW YOU CAN CONTROL THAT AND TEACH PEOPLE BECAUSE WE'RE NO DIFFERENT. POLICIES ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT WE POLICE THE SAME WAY CEDAR HILL DOES AND THE SAME WAY DESOTO DOES. AND EVENTUALLY THAT'S THE FUTURE OF POLICING. AT LEAST HERE IS OUR BORDERS ARE GOING TO GO AWAY AND IT'S GOING TO BECOME SOMEWHAT OF A METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE BASED OFF AVL, WHERE YOU'RE AT. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, CURRENTLY WE HAVE FOUR RECRUITS IN THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT. WE CALL IT COG. IT'S THE REGIONAL POLICE ACADEMY, BUT WE'VE SENT SOME TO TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE POLICE ACADEMY, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER LOCATIONS AS WELL. OKAY. I WANT TO COME BACK NOW. DALLAS IS DOING A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ON ITS BORDER WITH DUNCANVILLE. MULTIFAMILY. SO AS AS YOU LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DEMANDS ARE GOING TO BE PLACED ON IN TERMS OF DUNCANVILLE? BECAUSE I DON'T I DO NOT KNOW TO WHAT LEVEL OF COOPERATION EXISTS BETWEEN DALLAS AND DUNCANVILLE. I KNOW WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE REST OF THE BEST SOUTHWEST CITIES, OH YES, WE DO WORK TOGETHER. BUT YOU KNOW, DALLAS, WHAT WHAT ARE YOU ANTICIPATING? SO ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION. SO WE'RE CULTIVATING THAT RELATIONSHIP. NOW, THE REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER THAT I WAS TELLING YOU GUYS ABOUT, THAT'S INTELLIGENCE GATHERING. MY VISION FOR THAT. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE FUSION CENTER IN DALLAS. SO THE FUSION CENTER IN DALLAS IS IN NORTH DALLAS. WHAT I WANT OURS TO BE IS THE SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY FUSION CENTER, WHERE IT'S CEDAR HILL, DESOTO AND DALLAS ALL INSIDE THIS REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER, SHARING INTELLIGENCE AND SHARING INFORMATION. BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, CRIME DOESN'T STOP JUST BECAUSE THERE'S AN INVISIBLE BORDER THERE. AND WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO COME TO THESE 25% REDUCTIONS AND MAKE IT EVEN MORE OR GREATER. BUT YES, ABSOLUTELY. I COULDN'T TELL YOU,

[02:25:07]

YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS AGO WHO THE CHIEF WAS IN THE SOUTHWEST PATROL DIVISION OR THE SOUTHWEST POLICE DIVISION IN DALLAS. NOW WE DO, AND WE'RE COMING TOGETHER AS A GROUP TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO THIS, BECAUSE IT IS OUR SUSPECTS ARE PROBABLY THEIR SUSPECTS, AND THEIR SUSPECTS ARE MOST LIKELY OUR SUSPECTS. ABSOLUTELY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF? THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU SIR. ABSOLUTELY. MY PLEASURE. YES, SIR. BRIEFING. BRIEFING ON ARTS

[8.D. Briefing on Arts & Business Networking Events ]

AND BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENTS. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MR. PRESIDENT. BOARD OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YES. SO THIS ITEM. ARTS AND BUSINESS MIXERS, NETWORKING EVENTS. SO THE STAFF LIAISON FOR THE ARTS COMMISSION, HE INVITED ME TO ATTEND THEIR MEETING IN FEBRUARY. AND THE PREMISE WAS THAT HIS BOARD HAD BEEN EXPRESSING TO HIM TO INQUIRE THE DCC IF THEY WERE INTERESTED IN RESUMING A PROGRAM OF, YOU KNOW, ARTS CURATED BUSINESS MIXERS THAT HAD BEEN DONE OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. RIGHT. SO I ATTENDED THAT MEETING, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATING IN THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM. AND, YOU KNOW, MY AGREEMENT WITH THEM IS THAT I WOULD BRING THIS REQUEST, THIS EXPRESS INTEREST BACK TO OUR BOARD AND TALK THROUGH THAT. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT MENTIONED THAT DEPENDING ON THE FEEDBACK, THEY'VE GOT SOME TENTATIVE TARGET DATES TO RESUME THAT ACTIVITY AS SOON AS LATER THIS SPRING. AND THEN MAYBE SEE WHAT DATES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER AND HOLIDAYS. RIGHT. SO COUPLE OF POSTERS THAT REPRESENT SOME PREVIOUS EVENTS.

AND THIS IS NOT MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ONLY EVENTS THAT THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS COLLABORATED ON, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THERE WAS ANOTHER EVENT ON CAMP WISDOM. THEY DRINK SMOKEY D'S, KINGSMAN COFFEE, JUST TO NAME A FEW. SO I WANTED TO CLUE THAT IN EXHIBIT JUST AGAIN, THEY REFERENCED THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY GOT FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM SOME OF THEIR BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE STILL ON ONLINE. AND SO ONE OF THE CLUES THAT IN THE PRESENTATION. SO IF AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, REIGNITING THIS TARGETED ACTIVITY AROUND THE ARTS, BUT ALSO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, AS I WAS TALKING WITH THEM AND TALKING WITH THE STAFF LIAISON, WHAT I REALIZED IS THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE EVENTS WERE RECENTLY OPENED. YOU KNOW, ESTABLISHMENTS, EITHER RESTAURANT VENUES OR CAFES OR BISTROS. AND SO THAT'S GREAT, RIGHT? TO, TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, WELCOME THEM AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE EVENT THERE BRING ATTENTION AROUND THE ARTS TO THOSE BUSINESSES. BUT THAT'S ALSO A CATEGORY OF BUSINESS NEWLY OPENED ESTABLISHMENT THAT'S A LITTLE LESS PREDICTABLE, RIGHT? YOU CAN'T ALWAYS ANTICIPATE WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NEW BUSINESSES OR, YOU KNOW, AREAS THAT OPEN. AND SO AS WE ENGAGED IN THAT THOUGHT EXERCISE ABOUT HOW THAT MIGHT LOOK MOVING FORWARD, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I TALKED TO THEM ABOUT IS WANTING TO MAKE SURE MAYBE WE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TARGET SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES. I MEAN, THE ARTS IS STILL GOING TO BE THE BACKDROP, RIGHT? I'M GOING TO BE RELYING ON THEM. I'M NOT EVENT PLANNER, ALTHOUGH I'M HAPPY THAT OUR SPECIAL EVENTS PLANNER, DEVIN HANLEY, IS LIKE THE CO LIAISON WITH ALEX TO THAT BOARD. SO AGAIN, THEY'LL HAVE A GOOD TEAM IN PLACE TO PUT ON A GOOD EVENT.

BUT FOR OUR CO-PARTICIPATION, WE ALWAYS WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF WHO THE TARGET AUDIENCE IS, HOW WE'RE CONNECTING IT TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND LOCAL ECONOMY, THE REAL ESTATE. AND SO THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. AGAIN, SOME OF THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSIONS AS WE START THINKING ABOUT WHERE, WHAT AND WHO WE'RE TRYING TO TARGET. BUT OVERALL, I WENT TO THE LAST ONE THAT WAS ON THE SCREEN. WELL, ACTUALLY, MAYBE THIS WASN'T IT, BUT I WAS IMPRESSED ALWAYS WITH SOME OF THE EVENTS. THE ARTS COMMISSION HAS SPONSORED. AND SO I'M EXCITEDLY BRINGING THIS FORWARD TO THIS BOARD FOR A BRIEFING, BUT ALSO FOR DISCUSSION AND FEEDBACK. OKAY.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, I HAVE ATTENDED ONE OF THOSE EVENTS IN THE PAST WHEN IT WAS AT THE PINK YOLK. I THOUGHT IT WENT VERY WELL. AND SO I THINK ANY

[02:30:05]

TIME WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING EACH OTHER, I THINK THAT'S A NECESSARY THING BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, RELATIONSHIPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. SO THAT'S MY $0.02. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY, WELL, JUST JUST LET US KNOW. DON'T TELL US THE DAY BEFORE.

OKAY? OH, ABSOLUTELY. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. ITEM NUMBER NINE, A BLUE DOT OPEN REWARD

[9.A. Discuss and consider approval of the Open Rewards Program for local businesses by Bludot Technologies.]

SHOP, LOCAL PROGRAM. AND MISTER MARLEY. OKAY. ONCE AGAIN. OKAY, BLUE DOT, THIS IS ACTUALLY OUR PLATFORM THAT HOSTS OUR LOCAL BUSINESS LISTING FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. IT'S ALSO THE TOOL THAT WE ONBOARDED LAST FALL, AND IT SERVES AS OUR CRM TOOL FOR THE DEPARTMENT, RIGHT, WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO LOG OUR, OUR BUSINESS RETENTION AND ATTRACTION ACTIVITY PIPELINE PROJECTS. AND SO THAT FRAMEWORK, RIGHT, WITH THIS PARTICULAR PLATFORM IS WHILE WE ACTUALLY WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN BLUEDOT AS A COMPANY, SO OPEN REWARDS, IT'S ESSENTIALLY AN INCENTIVE, RIGHT? A CASH BACK TOOL TO INCENTIVIZE LOCAL SPENDING, RIGHT? FOR BUSINESSES.

AGAIN, AS AN OPEN REWARDS PLATFORM DIFFERENT FROM MAYBE WHAT THEY MIGHT BE OPERATING INDEPENDENTLY, ESPECIALLY WITH A LOT OF THE MULTINATIONAL CHAINS, RIGHT? THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN INDEPENDENTLY MANAGED REWARDS PROGRAM. BUT AS A STAFF, WE WANTED TO LOOK AT, ESPECIALLY AS WE APPROACH NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK NEXT MONTH, WHAT MORE COULD WE DO BEYOND JUST PROMOTING, SAYING, REMINDING PEOPLE TO SHOP LOCAL? RIGHT? THIS OPEN REWARDS PROGRAM IS TAKES IT A STEP FURTHER. WE WANT TO ACTUALLY INCENTIVIZE PATRONS TO RECYCLE THEIR DOLLARS, RIGHT? TO EXTEND THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE DOLLAR TURNS OVER IN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY BEFORE IT EXITS. AND THIS IS A TOOL THAT WE BELIEVE WILL ALLOW US TO DO THAT. WE'RE ALREADY SET UP TO DO WITH THE COMPANY THAT'S PROVIDING THE SERVICE FOR US.

AND SO HOW WOULD IT WORK? RIGHT? A SHOPPER WOULD, AGAIN, AS THEY NORMALLY DO, MAKE PURCHASES AT THEIR FAVORITE LOCAL ESTABLISHMENTS. BUT BEFORE DOING SO, DOWNLOAD THE APP RIGHT AND THEN AND MAKE SURE THAT THE THE SHOP HAS AGREED TO OPT IN AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM, RIGHT? YOU MAKE THE PURCHASE, YOU CAN EITHER UPLOAD YOUR RECEIPT OR JUST LINK YOUR CARD AND YOUR REWARDS ARE AUTOMATICALLY MANAGED AND SHOW UP IN YOUR ACCOUNT. RIGHT? AND THIS JUST SHOWS HOW HYPOTHETICALLY YOU COULD REDEEM THOSE REWARDS AS YOU'RE EARNING THEM OVER TIME FOR THE BUSINESSES. ASIDE FROM DECIDING TO PARTICIPATE, RIGHT? AND THEN REGISTERING YOUR BUSINESS, COUPLE CLICKS ON OUR PLATFORM THAT YOU'RE ALREADY LISTED AS A ACTIVE LOCAL BUSINESS, OUR COMMUNITY, THAT'S ESSENTIALLY IT. IT BECOMES TURNKEY FOR THE BUSINESS AND THE MERCHANT AFTER THAT, RIGHT? IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, AUTOPILOT. AND SO WE'LL ACTUALLY ALSO HAVE MARKETING MATERIALS FOR THE BUSINESSES. LIKE IF THEY WANT TO PUT UP A POSTER OR GRAPHIC IN THE SHOP AS CUSTOMERS COME IN, HEY, WHAT'S UP REWARDS SCAN AND DOWNLOAD THE APP. THEY'LL GIVE YOU 5% CASH BACK TODAY AND THEREAFTER. SO THAT'S A GOOD FEATURE. THIS SLIDE AND THIS FEATURE IS ACTUALLY SELFLESSLY MY FAVORITE BECAUSE THIS IS A DASHBOARD WHERE OUR STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IN REAL TIME, RIGHT? HOW THE MONEY WE USE TO FUND THIS PROGRAM IS BEING LEVERAGED. SO HERE YOU GOT HYPOTHETICAL CITY ATLANTIS, YOU KNOW, WITH THEIR INITIAL FUNDING OF THEIR PROGRAM OF $50,000, THEY GET TO SEE IN REAL TIME, RIGHT? HOW THAT REWARDS PROGRAM IS BEING LEVERAGED IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY IN TERMS OF DOLLARS BEING SPENT OR LEVERAGED, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, BUT ALSO THE CURRENT BALANCE AND HOW MANY CUSTOMERS ARE MAKING USE OF THE PROGRAM. AGAIN, I MENTIONED THAT FIRST WEEK OF MAY, COINCIDING WITH NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK. AND SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND INCLUDED IN THE PACKET, LIKE WE'VE GOT THAT DRAFT INVOICE TIED TO OUR SUBSCRIPTION ACCOUNT WITH BLUE DOT. WE FUND THIS INAUGURAL CAMPAIGN FROM OUR INCENTIVES BUDGET. WITH THIS CURRENT YEAR, $25,000, WE WE'VE MET WITH OUR MARKETING AND PUBLIC INFORMATION STAFF TO START TO DEVELOP A MARKETING CAMPAIGN, RIGHT TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, LET THEM KNOW THIS IS

[02:35:04]

COMING. GO AHEAD AND REGISTER, ASK YOUR FAVORITE BUSINESS AND MAKE SURE THEY PARTICIPATE. AND SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS, AGAIN, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CALLS WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE TO KIND OF JUST GIVE US SOME GUIDANCE. SEVERAL CITIES IN THE METROPLEX AND NATIONWIDE HAVE MADE USE OF THIS TOOL. AND SO THEY'VE GAVE US A A REALLY ROBUST REPOSITORY OF FILES AND GRAPHICS AND EXAMPLES AND TEMPLATES THAT OTHER CITIES HAVE USED, LIKE IN A GOOGLE DOC. LIKE WE HAVE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY CUSTOMERS. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE IN POSITION TO PUT TOGETHER. SUBJECT TO YOUR FEEDBACK AND HOPEFULLY APPROVAL.

AND WITH THAT, HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK. YEAH, JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE INFORMATION. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE $25,000, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION, A LITTLE OVER 4000, $4,500. TELL ME, TELL ME HOW THAT BREAKS DOWN AS FAR AS THE INITIAL INVESTMENT AND THEN THE LONG TERM INVESTMENT TO KEEP THE PROGRAM RUNNING. RIGHT.

OKAY. SO THE $4,000 ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION IS JUST SPECIFIC TO THE OPEN REWARDS PROGRAM.

THAT'S SEPARATE FROM WHAT WE USE IT FOR IN OUR DAILY BUSINESS HOSTING THE WEB.

EXCUSE ME, HOSTING THE CITY'S BUSINESS LISTING AND OUR CRM TOOL. OKAY, SO THAT $4,000 IS THE ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION RATE TO MANAGE, LIKE YOU SAID, THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE IT TURNKEY FOR US TO NOT FOR US AND OR THE BUSINESSES TO NOT HAVE ANY MANUAL REQUIREMENT OF MAINTAINING REWARDS PROGRAM THE $25,000 OR ANYTHING ABOVE THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS TOTALLY AT THE DISCRETION OF THE MUNICIPALITY, RIGHT? YOU GET TO DECIDE HOW YOU WANT TO LAUNCH YOUR CAMPAIGNS. WE TALKED ABOUT, OKAY, MAYBE WHAT'S A GOOD AMOUNT TO START OUT TO REALLY SEE HOW RESPONSE IS. THAT'S THE VARIABLE, THE AMOUNT THAT YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, PUT IN YOUR CAMPAIGN AND REALLY ALL THE FEATURES THAT YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR CAMPAIGN. LIKE WE GET TO SET. SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE GOING TO GO 5% OF PURCHASES. THEY ALLOW US TO MAKE A CAP, RIGHT? SO WE SAY A CAPPED AT $100, RIGHT? SO THAT MAYBE YOU'LL GO OUT FOR, YOU KNOW, ANNIVERSARY AND PURCHASE A DIAMOND RING AND GET 5% BACK. AND DANG, WE REALLY ATE UP A LOT OF THE BUDGET, MR. BROUGHTON, BUT IT'S GOOD FOR USING THE TOOL. SO WE GET TO CUSTOMIZE THE PROGRAM SUBJECT TO, YOU KNOW, OUR PRIORITIES AND GOALS IN A GIVEN CAMPAIGN.

AND DID THE VENDOR GIVE ANY FEEDBACK OR GIVE ANY INFORMATION AS FAR AS A CITY AND SIMILAR PROFILE TO OURS, AS FAR AS RETURN ON INVESTMENT FROM THIS TOOL? WOW. SO I MEAN, JUST A SNAPSHOT ON NUMBER OF THE CITIES. I KNOW SOUTHLAKE WAS ONE. AND AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE, BUT I WAS COMING ACROSS A LOT OF THEIR LITERATURE AGAIN WHILE I WAS LOOKING FOR A CRM TOOL. SO LAST YEAR, SOUTHLAKE, EL PASO, THE CITY IN ELLIS COUNTY, I'M SORRY, IT ESCAPES ME, BUT AGAIN, IT'S SOME OF THE THINGS AS WELL. SO THIS IS JUST WE'RE SAYING, OKAY, TO START, WE WANT TO DO IT AROUND SMALL BUSINESS WEEK IN MAY, BUT SOME OF THE CAMPAIGNS CAN BE MORE TARGETED, RIGHT? IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, WE MENTIONED HOLIDAYS. IT COULD BE JUST TARGETED TO RESTAURANTS, RIGHT? IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING MORE INDUSTRY SPECIFIC. THERE'S NO LIMITATION TO THAT. AND SO THEN REALLY IT'S MORE ABOUT THE UNIQUENESS OR THE SPECIFIC CAMPAIGN AS MUCH AS IT IS. WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE IN COMMON WITH A GIVEN CITY AND HOW LONG YOU DO IT, AND THOSE KIND OF NUANCES.

GIVEN THE FACT THAT SMALL BUSINESS WEEK IS NEXT MONTH, DOES THAT PROVIDE ENOUGH TIME FOR US TO ROLL OUT A PROGRAM LIKE THIS? SO AGAIN, WITH THIS AMOUNT IS I DON'T HAVE ANY ANTICIPATION THAT EVEN IF WE DID THIS ROLLOUT, AGAIN, JUST BASED ON THE DATA THAT ONE WEEK AND ONE WEEK ONLY, THIS IS YOUR ONLY WINDOW. YOU KNOW, OUR APPROACH IS GOING TO BE WE USE THAT RIGHT TO KIND OF RIDE THAT WAVE ALREADY, THAT NATIONAL LOCAL FOCUS ON SMALL BUSINESSES TO BRAND THIS AS A SHOP LOCAL CAMPAIGN, YOU KNOW, TIME WITH NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, BUT NOT JUST LIMITED TO THAT PERIOD. AND, AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE I THINK THE FUNDING AMOUNT INITIALLY MIGHT LEND ITSELF TO KIND OF STRETCH BEYOND THAT WEEK IN THE MONTH OF MAY. AND SO WE'RE PREPARED, WE'VE GOT THIS ITEM TO BRIEF THE CITY COUNCIL AS WELL NEXT MONTH. BUT AFTER THAT, WE'RE PREPARED TO AGAIN MOVE TOWARDS THE MARKETING CAMPAIGN MODE. SO

[02:40:01]
