Apr 07, 2026 City Council

[00:00:02]

A. WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLEAR THIS WORKSHOP. WE OPENED AT 6:00 PM. RIGHT ON TIME.

PERFECT. AND. WELL, EVERYBODY GET SEATED. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND. INTERIM CITY MANAGER ADDRESS ITEM ONE. DISCUSS AGENDA ITEMS. YES. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL GOING THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM SEVEN A IS CONSIDERED THE MINUTES FOR THE MARCH 10TH, 2026 SPECIAL CALL MEETING AND THE MARCH 17TH, 2026 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY REVISIONS, TAYLOR IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. OKAY. ITEM SEVEN B IS CONSIDERED TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT ON D L FOR ANNUAL POLICE OFFICER MEDICAL ASSESSMENTS AND THE EXPENDITURES AMOUNT AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 225,000 556 FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. THIS IS A SERVICE.

WE USE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND ALSO DOING THE POLICE. BUT CHIEF STOGNER, AS WELL AS CHIEF WILCOX ARE HERE. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT ITEM. COUNCIL, JUST A REAL QUICK, MR. MAYOR. YEAH. OKAY. I KNOW YOU'RE FINE RIGHT THERE. JUST SIMPLY THIS IS AN INDEPENDENT THING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CAPABLE OF DOING THEIR JOBS RIGHT FROM A PHYSICAL STANDPOINT. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. THE ON DUTY HELP, ON DUTY HEALTH. IT'S JUST A HEALTH ASSESSMENT FOR THE POLICE OFFICERS. LET THEM KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. THE THINGS THEY NEED TO IMPROVE ON. HELP THEM OUT. AS FAR AS BEING AWARE OF SOME THINGS THAT THEY MAY NOT KNOW THAT'S GOING ON WITH THEIR BODIES. YOU KNOW, WE LIVE A UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF OFFICERS LIVE AN UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE. YOU KNOW, DURING THE TIME THAT THEY'RE WORKING THEIR SHIFTS. SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE OFFICERS AND HELP THEM TO BE BETTER AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM PHYSICALLY. SO THIS, THIS IS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH TO ASSIST THEM IN MAINTAINING GOOD PERSONAL HEALTH AND NOT SO MUCH AS A MANDATE FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY STAY IN SOME LEVEL OF PHYSICAL CONDITION. THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE.

NO, THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE. NOW, IF THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON THAT WOULD MAKE THEM PHYSICALLY UNFIT FOR DUTY, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT WE'LL BE MADE AWARE OF. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT'S FOR. OKAY. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING. THIS IS TO HELP THEM. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. OKAY. ITEM SEVEN C IS CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RENEWAL OF MICROSOFT 365 SUBSCRIPTION FOR C, D, G THROUGH A COOPERATIVE TIPS CONTRACT FOR A THREE YEAR TERM, WITH THE TOTAL ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE OF $255,000. CLAYTON GANZER IS HERE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY OUR OUR EMAIL SERVICE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY. SO DEFINITELY AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE. AND WE USE THIS PERSON TO DO THAT. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. CLAYTON IS. YES. HI, CLAYTON. HOW ARE YOU DOING? DOING WELL. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. I SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO FREE UP BECAUSE WE HAVE SHAREPOINT NOW.

FREEING UP SPACE FREED UP. LOWERING SOME TEARS. REMOVED UNUSED PRODUCTS AND FEATURES.

DO WE HAVE AN APPROXIMATE SAVINGS? SO WE'RE NET NEW. IT'S ESSENTIALLY SPENDING THE SAME AMOUNT YEAR OVER YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE SOME OTHER SERVICES. SO THERE WAS SOME TEMPORARY STAFF AND SOME PARK STAFF THAT DIDN'T HAVE. WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE LICENSES TO GIVE THEM EMAIL ADDRESSES. AND THEN WITH MOVING TO MGO AND THE WORK ORDER SYSTEM AND STUFF WE'RE MOVING TO, IT WAS ESSENTIAL THAT THEY DID SO THEY CAN FILL OUT WORK ORDERS, GET THOSE WORK ORDERS TO THEIR EMAIL AND FILL THEM OUT IN THE FIELD AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE KEEPING THE SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT. WE'RE JUST ABLE TO INCREASE SOME OF THE CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY WE HAVE. OKAY, PERFECT. THANK YOU. OKAY. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. OKAY. ITEM SEVEN D IS CONSIDERED RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURE NOT TO EXCEED $450,000 FOR OUR TYLER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED FOR OUR ANNUAL SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE OVER A THREE YEAR TERM. THIS IS ALL OF OUR MUNIS SYSTEM, ALL COMPONENTS. AND AGAIN, CLAYTON IS AVAILABLE. THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT FINANCES. SO WHEN I FIRST CAME ON, THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT TYLER THEN AND ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT IT SUPPORTS. SO PLEASE EXPLAIN TYLER AND THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS, PLATFORMS THAT SUPPORTS AND HOW ALL OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TIE INTO THAT. SO THE BIG ONE WOULD BE OUR FINANCES, RIGHT? SO OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT USES MUNIS FOR ALL OF OUR BOOKKEEPING. AND A LOT OF THE DEPARTMENTS OBVIOUSLY FUNNEL INTO THOSE SYSTEMS. HR IS CURRENTLY USING IT FOR THEIR HR PLATFORM. THERE ARE SOME MODULES WE LOOKED AT EXPANDING INTO THAT. THERE'S WE

[00:05:06]

PAYING, PAYING BILLS IS DONE THROUGH THAT SYSTEM CONTRACTS. SO WHEN THEY ARE GOING CLOUD BASED, IF THEY SHOULD MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION, DO WE HAVE A PLAN ON HOW WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT, A STRATEGY ON HOW WE'LL MOVE FORWARD, TRYING NOT TO TRYING TO HOLD OFF AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. SO AS YOU JUST SAID, WE HAVE AN ON PREM, SO IT'S ALL LOCAL ON OUR SERVICE, WHICH DOES AFFORD US SOME COST SAVINGS. TYLER WOULD LOVE FOR US TO GO TO THE CLOUD, PROBABLY 60% INCREASE, PROBABLY NOT QUITE DOUBLE. SO WE'RE TRYING TO HOLD OFF ON THAT. I THINK ONE DAY THEY WILL FORCE US TO THAT, BUT FOR NOW ON PREM FOR OUR SIZE AND WE DO HAVE THE CAPACITY, OUR VIRTUAL SERVERS WERE NOT AT CAPACITY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO HOST OUR OWN SERVERS. SO IT MAKES SENSE FINANCIALLY BOTH WAYS FOR US TO HOST IT. I WOULD ANTICIPATE 3 OR 4 YEARS THEY'RE REALLY GOING TO PUSH US THERE. YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE SOME CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AT THAT TIME WITH THEM TO TRY. WE'RE SAFE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE SAFE. YEAH. THEY'RE THIS CONTRACT. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. THERE'S SOME NEW PRODUCTS THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO PITCH US AND THEY'RE AGAIN, THEY WOULD DRAW US INTO THE CLOUD WITH THAT. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO IT'S BEST WE CAN. IT'S A COSTLY, COSTLY ENDEAVOR. THERE'S SOME BENEFITS TO IT, BUT IT'S YOU.

THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND THEY WOULD LET US GO TO THE CLOUD. BELIEVE ME, EVERYONE'S PUSHING TOWARDS THE CLOUD. YES. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE CONSENT AGENDA. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK. SESSION ITEM TWO. COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR. MR. PUTIN, THANK YOU. MAYOR, ON APRIL THE 9TH, WE HAVE A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING. THE HARRINGTON PARK RIBBON CUTTING HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE 18TH DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER PENDING INCLEMENT WEATHER ON THE 11TH. SO MOVE THAT ONE TO THE 18TH.

WHAT DATE IS IT ON MEMORIAL DAY ON MEMORIAL. THE 25TH, 25TH, 25TH, 25TH. 25TH. THAT'S IT.

MEMORIAL PARK. YES, I THINK AT 10 A.M. YES. DEPENDING ON WHETHER WE WOULD BE PREPARED TO GO INSIDE LAST YEAR, I THINK THAT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL. YEAH. OKAY. AND BEFORE WE MOVE IN, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES. I JUST HAD A CLARIFICATION. SO I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT DOING A WORKSHOP ON THE PAYROLL HR SOFTWARE SYSTEM AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER DATE, BECAUSE LOOKING AT THESE CALENDARS, EVERYBODY'S PRETTY BUSY. I WANTED TO PROPOSE IF WE COULD MAYBE START THE FIFTH MEETING OF MAY AT 4 P.M. AND MAYBE FOCUS IN ON A WORKSHOP ITEM AND THEN GO STRAIGHT INTO THE COUNCIL MEETING IF COUNCIL'S AMENDED THAT. BUT JUST TRYING TO FIND A DATE THAT WORKS WITHOUT HAVING TO ADD ANY MORE ADDITIONAL DATES ON YOUR CALENDAR. SO WHAT'S YOUR PROPOSED DATE? MAY 5TH, 4:00 PM START. IF THAT WORKS, EVERYBODY.

CALENDARS. AGAIN, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF NOT HAVING TO ADD ANOTHER DATE. SO. LOOK AT

[00:10:18]

WE'VE GOT SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE. SO LET'S FINISH THIS PIECE OF BUSINESS. HAS ANYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO CHECK THE CALENDARS FOR 4:00 START ON THE 5TH OF MAY? OKAY. IT'S VERA CRUZ, IT'S CHERRY BROWN. MR. KOONTZ. MR. WALKER. OKAY, WE'LL BE RIGHT ON TIME. OKAY, SO IT'S 4:00. OKAY. AND MAY I HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION, MR. STEVENSON? THIS NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.

SESSION AT 12:00 AT THE REC CENTER. THAT'S CORRECT. MAY 7TH, 12:00, NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER REC CENTER. THANK YOU FOR THAT REMINDER. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO LET'S TALK ABOUT ANY OF THESE OTHER DATES THAT YOU WERE JUST MENTIONING. WELL, I GUESS SOME MR. ABERNATHY TRY NOT TO ADD MORE AND MORE ON HERE, BUT. TALK ABOUT STEERING COMMITTEE. COMMITTEE POSITIONS. SO WE HAVE WE HAVE ALL THOSE IN THE PIPELINE. WE NEED TO GET SCHEDULED AT SOME POINT. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT STAFF COULD WORK ON? TRYING TO SEE SOME PROPOSED DATES AND TIMES, AND THEN WE'LL DO IT VIA EMAIL, SEE IF WE CAN. WE CAN WE CAN SEND SOME DATES OUT. AND WELL, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH APPLICANTS FOR ANY OF THOSE COMMITTEES TO BE INCLUDED YET.

SO WE'RE WAITING TO GET MORE APPLICANTS FOR THOSE COMMITTEES. AND THEN WE CAN SCHEDULE INTERVIEWS. JUST FOR THE RECORD, SCRATCH THAT. ONE OF THE WE HAVE THREE REMAINING THREE REMAINING INDIVIDUALS FOR THE COMMITTEE. I THINK WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE PERSON ACTUALLY SUBMIT FOR ARTS AND CULTURE, BUT THAT'S REALLY JUST ONE PERSON I'VE HAD. I GOT ANOTHER ONE TODAY, SO I HAD TO ADD TWO LAST. PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED. I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL ONES FOR CP AND I HAVE NONE FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL HISTORY. HAVE WE ADVERTISED IT OUT? YES, YES, IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE RIGHT NOW. FOR THE WEBSITE? YES, SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. I BELIEVE WE DID A SOCIAL MEDIA POST. I THINK SHE DID SPECIFIC ONES FOR THAT. AS USUAL, COUNCIL, FEEL FREE IF YOU HAVE NAMES TO THROW IN THE POT. FOR PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN A GOOD FIT FOR A PARTICULAR COMMITTEE, WE'LL GO BACK AND WE NEED TO DO A BLAST. WE'LL DO A BLAST. YEAH, SURE.

YES, SIR. WE ALSO NEED TO KEEP IN MIND WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO VACANCIES AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A THIRD. AND SO THAT AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME APPLICATIONS OPEN OR WE HAVE THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO APPLY FOR THOSE OPEN SLOTS. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THAT GO TO THE TOP. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A SPOT WHERE YOU CAN GO AND APPLY AND IT BRINGS YOU STRAIGHT TO. SO DOES THAT LEAVE US WITH FOUR MEMBERS AFTER. AFTER ME? OH YEAH. WE NEED TO GET IT ADVERTISED. YEAH. WE DEFINITELY DONE ON THAT ONE TOO. BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO. YEAH. SO ALL RIGHT. SO ANY OF THE OTHER MEETINGS THAT YOU SUGGESTED, ANYBODY COMES, IT JUST SOUND LIKE. SHE'S ON TOP OF IT. OKAY. YEAH. SO WHEN WE GET ENOUGH APPLICANTS TO ENVY. YEAH. SO WE'VE COVERED OUR CALENDAR. EVERYONE ALL CLEAR.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM THREE BRIEFINGS AND PRESENTATIONS. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ITEM A TO THE END OF THE REGULAR MEETING. SO THAT WE CAN WRAP THIS UP AND BE OUT ON THE DIAS ON TIME FOR YOU ALL. HELP ME WITH THAT. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO ON TO ITEM B BRIEFING

[00:15:03]

AND BEFORE WE GO THROUGH HOW THIS UNFOLDS. SO THIS, THIS IS FUNDED AS AN INCENTIVE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, RIGHT? FOR THE BENEFIT OF LOCAL BUSINESSES, RIGHT? IN A WAY, WE'RE RECYCLING THE VERY SALES TAX THAT FUNDS OUR CORPORATION, RIGHT? AS AN INCENTIVE TO GENERATE MORE SALES TAX REVENUE. RIGHT. AND WHILE THE BUSINESSES STAND BY AND BENEFIT, THIS TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS US TO DO THAT. HANDS OFF. RIGHT. NEXT SLIDE. SO IN A HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO, WE'VE HAD LOCAL CONSUMERS, SHE MAKES A PURCHASE AGAIN, PROBABLY FREQUENTS THIS ESTABLISHMENT. SHE EARNS CASH BACK ON THAT PURCHASE. AS YOU KEEP CLICKING THROUGH, YOU'LL SEE, LET'S SAY IN A GIVEN WEEK, A PERIOD OF TIME AS YOU KEEP CLICKING THROUGH THAT BALANCE IN YOUR APP WILL ACCUMULATE. AND NOW THE CITY'S LEVERAGED, RIGHT? THAT AMOUNT OF $40 OF SPENDING, BUT WE ONLY HAD TO AWARD $10 IN CASH BACK JUST AS A SCENARIO. NEXT SLIDE. OKAY.

AND AGAIN, THIS SHOWS HOW CUSTOMER WILL REDEEM THEIR CASH BACKS. AND AGAIN, KEEP IN MIND THE BUSINESSES, THEY'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH ANY OF THIS. THIS IS ALL HANDLED BACK OF THE HOUSE LEVERAGING THE PLATFORM, RIGHT? THAT'S FUNDED FROM THE INCENTIVE. THE BUSINESSES BENEFIT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO TRACK OR DEAL WITH SIGNING CUSTOMERS UP. THE CUSTOMERS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY USER FRIENDLY. OKAY.

WHAT IT MEANS AGAIN, FOR THE LOCAL BUSINESSES, THEY CAN DO IT REALLY HANDS OFF. NOT MUCH REQUIRED OF THEM. RIGHT. AND THEN WE'RE ABLE TO TRACK KIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES. AND THE BUSINESSES WILL HAVE ALL THE MARKETING MATERIALS THAT THEY NEED TO EXECUTE THE PROGRAM. ALL RIGHT. SO WE LOOK AT THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY ECONOMIC GARDENING, RIGHT? WE'RE USING THIS INCENTIVE. WE'RE FERTILIZING THIS LOCAL ECONOMY TO STIMULATE MORE TRANSACTIONS. BUSINESSES GET MORE REPEAT CUSTOMERS. THEY MANAGE THAT RELATIONSHIP. AND WE SEE THAT THAT OVERARCHING ECONOMIC BENEFIT, RIGHT? THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE PROGRAM IS, AGAIN, WE GET TO SEE IN REAL TIME HOW THE MARKET IS RESPONDING TO IT, RIGHT? SO IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO, IS THAT A CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, ALTHOUGH OUR SITE WILL LOOK LIKE THIS, WE HAVE ATLANTIS AND WE SHOW WHAT THEY STARTED WHEN THEY FUNDED THE CAMPAIGN, THE CURRENT BALANCES, THE NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS AND HOW IT'S ALL BEING LEVERAGED INTERACTIVELY, JUST LIKE OUR BUSINESS LISTING IS RIGHT. THOSE BUSINESSES, WE CAN CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY, THEY CAN UPDATE THEIR OWN LISTINGS, THEY CAN UPDATE THEIR OWN FEATURES OR CAMPAIGNS. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER TOOL ENRICHING THAT RELATIONSHIP. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE IT ALL COMES TO IN THE SUMMARY. WE'RE HEADING INTO NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK FIRST WEEK OF. SO THIS IS THE FUNDING AMOUNT FOR THIS INAUGURAL CAMPAIGN. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO LEAVE IT OPEN THROUGH THE MONTH OF JUNE OR UNTIL THE FUNDS RUN OUT. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A PERIOD WHERE YOU NEED TO REDEEM BEFORE WE CLOSE THE BOOKS AS WE APPROACH THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. RIGHT. AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ALONE. THIS IS

[00:20:04]

WE'LL HAVE OUR OWN DEDICATED WEB PAGE ON OUR SITE, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, ANY, HOPEFULLY ANY AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND IT THERE. AND, AND WE'LL SEE HOW THE CAMPAIGN AND REPORT BACK ON OUR DASHBOARD TO SHOW HOW WELL IT WAS. HOPEFULLY.

GREAT IDEA. THANK YOU. SO YOU MENTIONED EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON THIS, BECAUSE WE WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO GET THE ACTIVITIES. YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF AVENUES TO THE WEBSITE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO, YOU KNOW, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT'S BEEN POSTED. AND SO WHAT, WHAT ELSE ARE WE DOING TO ENGAGE? I THINK OUR MARKETING PARTNER TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, I'M THINKING OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, RIGHT, AS A POWERFUL PARTNER TO GET THE WORD OUT. RIGHT. OUR TEAM AND I, AS WE MENTIONED, SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT OBVIOUSLY OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, JUST THE GENERAL PUBLIC, HEY, THIS TOOL IS THERE, BUT REALLY THE BUSINESSES LETTING THEM KNOW, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT, THAT THIS RESOURCE IS THERE IF YOU WANT, YOU GOT BRANDED POSTERS AND MATERIALS THAT WE CAN DROP OFF AND SAYING THAT THEY CAN PUT IN THE WINDOW. WE HAVE THAT TOOLKIT THAT WILL COME WITH THIS SUBSCRIPTION ADD ON TO THE PARTNERSHIP WE ALREADY HAVE. AND THEN WE, WE FUND THE ACCOUNT, WE CAN CUSTOMIZE THE PERCENTAGE OF REWARDS, AND WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE WANT YOU TO MIND YOU IN THE DETAILS OF. BUT ON THE CALLS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING WITH OUR REP, JUST MAKING US MINDFUL OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO ACCOUNT FOR, HOW WOULD YOU BE HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD CONTACT YOU AS I'M INTERESTED, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOAD THIS UP ON MY PHONE OR ON MY COMPUTER. DO YOU HAVE A PLAN TO ASSIST PEOPLE WHO MAY WANT TO GET ON? OKAY, I'LL TAKE THAT. SO FRANCISCO, WHO'S OUR MARKETING SPECIALIST GURU EXTRAORDINAIRE.

WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH HIM THE IDEA OF CREATING A LANDING PAGE ON OUR CITY WEBSITE WITH ALL.

MARLA MENTIONED THE FAQ SECTION, BUT ALSO BLUE DOT HAS CREATED A TUTORIAL THAT'S A STEP BY STEP WALKTHROUGH THAT WE WOULD AGAIN BE ABLE TO. TO GUIDE ALL OF OUR, OUR RESIDENTS TO. AND THEY CAN WATCH THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO AND THAT WOULD HELP WALK THEM THROUGH HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT.

OKAY. AND ADDRESSING NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS, IS THAT BEING ADDRESSED IN THE PROGRAM? MARCELO, YOU'RE BACK UP. THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. IS PUTTING THOSE FAQ ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS IN SPANISH AS WELL. SO I CAN SO, SO. MR. MR. HAGER SO LET'S SAY MR. HAGER COMES DOWN HERE WAY TOO OFTEN AND HE. YEAH, BUT CAN HE BE A PART OF THE PROGRAM? IS IT JUST LIMITED TO DUNCANVILLE PEOPLE OR IS IT OR IS IT EXPANDED? THE INCENTIVE IS FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY, MEANING THE BUSINESS WHO LIVE HERE. RIGHT.

AND SO ABSOLUTELY, THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR WORK OR TOURISM OR VISITING, THEY GET TO SPEND MONEY ON OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES, RIGHT? SO THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN SPEND SALES TAX DOLLARS. WE'RE HAPPY TO COLLECT THEM HERE LOCALLY, RIGHT? AS LEAKAGE FROM WHEREVER YOU RESIDE OR LIVE. SO THE ANSWER IS YES. AND HE ASKED ME THAT QUESTION. I SAID, YEAH, I HOPE YOU DO DOWNLOAD THE APP. EXPENSIVE SALES TAX DOLLARS HERE LOCALLY. CAN WE GET IT? DOES IT HAVE A QR CODE? YES. YEAH, YEAH. SO ALL HE NEEDS TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT AND THE WHOLE THING POPS UP AND YOU HIT THAT AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BLUE DOTTED ALL OVER THE PLACE. YEAH. AND WE'RE UP TO COUNCIL MEMBER COMBS QUESTION. WE'RE ALSO DEFINITELY, I THINK THE CITY AS A WHOLE, ALL THE DEPARTMENTS ARE TRYING TO LEVERAGE SOCIAL MEDIA MORE THAN EVER JUST BECAUSE OF THAT, THAT GROWING REACH. I THINK, AGAIN, FRANCISCO HAS BEEN GREAT IN CREATING THOSE REELS THAT YOU SEE GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION. AND AS WE'VE BEEN OUT DISCUSSING THESE PROGRAMS AND DIFFERENT INITIATIVES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, EVERY TIME I KNOW I PERSONALLY MEET WITH A BUSINESS, I'M ALWAYS ENCOURAGING THEM TO FOLLOW ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND RESIDENTS AS WELL, BECAUSE I THINK AS A CITY, THAT'S A STREAMLINED WAY TO GET ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY ON BOARD AND BE ABLE TO LOOK FOR ONE PLACE, TO HAVE ALL CITY COMMUNICATIONS BEING ROLLED OUT. VERY GOOD MAYOR, I KNOW WE'RE NOT

[00:25:04]

YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ME SAY REAL TIME INFORMATION, REAL TIME CRIME CENTER, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THIS IS WHERE IT KIND OF FEEDS INTO. SO WHAT IS FUSE'S? WELL, FUSE'S IS EXACTLY THAT. IT'S A MAPPING SOFTWARE, CLOUD BASED THAT OBVIOUSLY IN OUR REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER, ONCE THAT ULTIMATELY WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE HERE, YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR MAPS HERE, YOU WOULD HAVE CAMERAS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO THAT'S WHAT FUSE'S IS. IT'S REAL TIME INFORMATION. IT'S A SOFTWARE REAL TIME CRIME CENTER. WE CALL IT A REAL TIME INFORMATION CENTER. SO THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. SO ALL OF THE INFORMATION, OUR BODY WORN CAMERAS, OUR CITY CAMERAS ARE NOW ON IT. WE CAN TAP INTO THOSE CAMERAS IMMEDIATELY. WE OWN THOSE DEVICES. THAT'S WHY WE CAN TAP IN THOSE WITHOUT CONSENT. HOMEOWNERS. WE HAVE TO HAVE CONSENT. WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM LITERALLY SAY YES. AT THIS MOMENT, YOU CAN VIEW MY CAMERA, BUT IT'S LIMITED TO THAT MOMENT. IT DOESN'T GIVE US THE VIEW IT WHENEVER WE WANT. AND THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN DO THIS. AND I'LL GET INTO THOSE IN JUST A SECOND. SO HERE'S SOME OF THE AGENCIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY USING FUSE'S. THE MODEL AGENCY IS ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN WE CAN HAVE CAMERAS REGISTERED. ALL THAT MEANS IS WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A CAMERA AT YOUR HOUSE OR BUSINESS THAT WE CAN CONTACT YOU. IF THERE'S SOME ISSUES IN THAT AREA. WE KNOW THERE'S A CAMERA. INTEGRATED CAMERAS MEANS THAT WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE CAMERAS FROM YOUR CONSENT. I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. WE CANNOT JUST LOG IN AND START VIEWING THESE PEOPLE'S CAMERAS. THEY HAVE TO LITERALLY SAY YES THROUGH AN APP THAT WE PROVIDE THEM TO ALLOW US VIEWING. THEY HAVE 26, ALMOST 27,000 OF THOSE CAMERAS IN ATLANTA. IT HAS PROVEN TO DROP CRIME IN THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS BECAUSE IT'S A FORCE MULTIPLIER. IT'S LIKE HAVING AN OFFICER ON THAT CORNER, HEY, WE HAVE THIS ISSUE. YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN YOU CALL 911, YOU'RE NOT SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO US. IT GOES TO A DISPATCH CENTER. DISPATCH CENTER TYPES IT INTO OUR CALL SHEET AND ITS FEEDS ARE FED INTO OUR CALL SHEETS. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE WE HEAR ANYTHING. BY HAVING THIS, IT'S IMMEDIATE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY MONITORING SOME METROPLEX AREA AGENCIES JUST THREW THOSE IN THERE. SO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T JUST ATLANTA THING. WE WERE DOING THIS. WE'RE INTEGRATING THIS HERE IN TEXAS AS WELL. SO I WILL SAY THAT THERE IS NO ACTION NEEDED FROM YOU ALL. ALL I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW IS WE ARE GOING TO REACH OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY, OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS, TO START ASKING FOR THIS. WHEN YOUR CONSTITUENTS CONTACT YOU, YOU HAVE THIS INFORMATION. NOW YOU'RE NOT SAYING, WELL, HANG ON A SECOND. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS EITHER, BUT THESE ARE THE TWO DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE, AND OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE IT. WE ALSO HAVE THIS TRANSLATED IN SPANISH AS WELL. SO IT TELLS THEM ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING. SO ON

[00:30:04]

THERE'S NOTHING. IT'S MERELY FOR CRIMINAL OFFENSES. I DON'T CARE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE A VEHICLE DRIVE ACROSS A DOOR BELL CAMERA. I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW FAST THEY'RE GOING. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT TECHNOLOGY. JUST TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE. MAYBE THE SUSPECTS ARE DRIVING. COULD IT POTENTIALLY BE USED TO ASSIST IN A LOST PERSON? 100%. OKAY.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. AND ALL OF THAT STUFF, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE IN JUST TO KIND OF BREAK THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT, WE HAVE A MISSING PERSON. WE WOULD USE EVERBRIDGE TO SAY, HEY, LOOK AT YOUR CAMERA SYSTEM. SEE IF YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE DRIVING FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA.

ABSOLUTELY. ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OF COURSE. OKAY. ITEM D BRIEFING ON HEALTH INSPECTION PROCEDURES. OKAY. YOUR SHOW. GOOD AFTERNOON, CITY COUNCIL,

[00:35:06]

[00:40:05]

THE OTHER ONE IS LACK OF CLEANING, UNSANITARY CONDITIONS, AND FAILURE TO REPAIR. THIS IS ICE BIN. SO THIS IS A BIN THAT HASN'T BEEN CLEANED IN A WHILE FOR THIS MOLD TO BUILD UP IN IT, WE HAVE REFRIGERATION THAT HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED AND THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME. THIS IS NOT JUST THE DAY TO DAY WHEN IT ACCUMULATES, LIKE THIS GREASE BUILDUP THAT ATTRACTS INSECTS AND RODENTS. SO IF ANYBODY EVER HAS A PROBLEM WITH INSECTS AND RODENTS, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I'LL LOOK FOR. I LOOK BEHIND THEIR EQUIPMENT TO SEE WHAT'S ATTRACTING THEM. IF THEY HAVE HOLES AND GAPS IN THEIR CEILING TILE. JUST AS THIS NEXT ONE HAS A HOLE, THEY HAVE SEVERAL HOLES. MATTER OF FACT, IT'S ALSO A HAZARD TO THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE IF WE'RE CUSTOMERS GOING INTO THIS ESTABLISHMENT AND IT STARTS TO RAIN, THAT CEILING TILE IS GOING TO FALL, IT'S GOING TO HARM THEM. SO WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE REPAIRING THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE NEEDED. AND IT'S ALSO MOLD THAT'S ON SOME OF THE CEILING TILES IN THE BACK. WITH MOLD, IT GIVES OFF AN ODOR AS WELL. SO IF YOU EVER WALKED INTO A STORE AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH, IT SMELLS IN HERE, IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ONE OF THOSE ITEMS. IF YOU SEE THINGS LIKE THAT, UNNECESSARY ARTICLES, THEY ATTRACT INSECTS AND RODENTS. IT GIVES THEM A HARD AREA TO HIDE, TO BREATHE. SO WE WANT THEM TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OWNERS TO ERADICATE THAT, REMOVE THOSE ARTICLES. IF THEY'RE NOT FOR DAY TO DAY SERVICE, THEN WE WILL HAVE THEM REMOVE THAT. YOU CAN'T. IT'S A THREE COMPARTMENT SINK HERE TOO. SO THAT'S IT. THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE NOT PROPERLY WASHING AND SANITIZING THEIR EQUIPMENT BECAUSE IT'S ALL BLOCKED. THIS SORRY, THIS IS AN ICE MACHINE. SO IF YOU EVER GET ICE IN YOUR CUP, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME TYPE OF MOLD LIKE SUBSTANCE IN THERE. IF YOU EVER SEE BLACK PARTICLES, THEN DON'T

[00:45:03]

[00:50:02]

AND IT'LL BE US MEETING WITH BUSINESSES TO UPDATE THEM ON EVERYTHING AND ANY NEW LAWS AND STUFF SO THEY CAN BE, YOU KNOW, READY FOR SUCCESS AS WELL AS EVEN THE RESIDENTS. SO THEY'LL KNOW IF THEY DO PLAN ON DOING BUSINESS WITH US, HOW WE DO IT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HIT IT ON BOTH ENDS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY AS WELL. YES, FOR HEALTH, FOR PERMITTING, FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT'S ADDRESSED IN THE COMPLAINT. OKAY. OKAY. WE GOT TO WRAP IT UP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. HAGER. I KNOW WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. I'VE COMMITTED TO GET INTO OUR REGULAR SESSION BY 7:00. WILL YOU BE ABLE TO? I COULD DO ONE OF THEM FOR SURE. ALL RIGHT. CLOCKS ON. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND RECESS OUR WORK SESSION AND GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. OKAY. I'LL OE ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

ROCKY. ROCKY. I'M SORRY. COME ON UP. MY NAME IS BILLY ROCKY. I LIVE AT 307 EAST CENTER STREET. AND WE'RE HERE ABOUT THE RENTAL OF 314 AS HAVING EVENTS AND SO FORTH THERE IN OUR NICE, CALM, PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I COME UP HERE TO SPEAK OF VOTING AGAINST IT. SO IF I DON'T KNOW, NEVER DONE IT BEFORE. SO BUT ANYWAY, I'M JUST HERE TO VOTE AGAINST IT. IF, IF I CAN, BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY NEED ALL THAT NOISE AND TRAFFIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE RUN A NICE, CALM, PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD AND REALLY LIKE IT TO CONTINUE THAT WAY. MY WIFE AND I'VE BEEN IN THAT HOUSE FOR, OH, NOW 50 YEARS, AND WE'D LIKE TO STAY LIKE IT IS IF ALL POSSIBLE. SO I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, AND I APOLOGIZE. THAT WAS AN ITEM THAT IS ON A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT YOUR YOUR YOUR MESSAGE IS DULY NOTED. THANK YOU. SO YEAH, YEAH. AND I'M REMINDED THAT IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME BACK UP. I'LL CALL YOUR NAME OUT. OKAY? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'RE ON TO OUR CONSENT

[7. CONSENT AGENDA ]

MOTION TO APPROVE. BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. SECOND. SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM GOODEN, PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. I'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. ITEM EIGHT A THERE WAS NO ACTION TO TAKE AS A RESULT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION, SO MOVE ON TO ITEM

[8.B. Consider a Resolution for Hotel Occupancy Tax FY2026 for The Duncanville Chamber of Commerce ]

[01:30:03]

MAYOR. YES, I WOULD LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ONE QUESTION, IF I COULD, ON THAT. SURE. IS THAT OKAY? IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS POINT. CAN HE ASK THE QUESTION. SO IS ITEM THE ITEMS OVER? ALREADY? OKAY. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO

[8.C. 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. ]

THE MATERIAL AMENDMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS RELATED TO A COUPLE OF MILESTONE DATES, ONE MILESTONE DATE SPECIFICALLY. RIGHT. AND SO THE AMENDMENT WOULD MOVE THAT DATE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT RECEIVES ITS CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, WHICH IS CURRENTLY AT MAY 31ST, AND MOVE THAT OUT TO JULY 31ST OF THIS YEAR. A COUPLE OF THE REASONS. WELL, WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS A COUPLE OF SITE PHOTOS. I THINK I WALKED THE PROPERTY, MAYBE THIS IS LATE JANUARY. YOU CAN SEE IN REAL TIME KIND OF WHERE THE PHASE IS FOR THE PROJECT. SOME OF THE MOTIVES FOR REQUESTING THE EXTENSION INCLUDE DELAYS ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION, PERMITTING MATERIAL DELAYS. WE LIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE HAVE TARIFFS AND DISRUPTION TO OUR LABOR MARKETS. AND SO THAT AND A PRETTY HARSH WINTER SEASON, RIGHT? THAT DELAYED CONSTRUCTION. AND SO NONETHELESS, THE REQUEST FOR THIS INCENTIVE IS ACTUALLY TIED TO A MONETARY MILESTONE. AND THAT'S SO THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY KNOW EARLY AS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE CUTTING IT CLOSE TO THAT DATE. SO THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT GIVES THEM ENOUGH RUNWAY TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, RIGHT, SUCCESSFULLY AND STILL BE ENTITLED TO THAT LAST REIMBURSEMENT TIED TO THE INCENTIVE GRANT. LAST NOTE ON THIS SLIDE, WE REFER TO THIS PROJECT AS ENCINA, RIGHT? BECAUSE THIS RESTAURANT BRAND HAS A CURRENT LOCATION IN IN OAK CLIFF AND THAT BISHOP ARTS DISTRICT. AND SO THE PLAN THOUGH, HOWEVER, IS TO REBRAND THE DUNCANVILLE LOCATION, ALLOWING THEM TO KEEP THE NAME ENCINA FOR THAT LOCATION. DUNCANVILLE WILL BE REFERRED TO AS ISABELLA. RIGHT. THAT RESTAURANT IS STILL THE SAME OWNERSHIP GROUP, SAME OPERATION, SAME ADDRESS. 220 NORTH MAIN.

WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM HERE. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATOR. BUT AGAIN, A COUPLE MORE PHOTOS FROM THE PROGRESS WE SEE. THIS IS AGAIN FROM LATE JANUARY. AND AGAIN, THE ACTION ITEM AND THE RESOLUTION AMENDING THAT SPECIFIC SECTION OF THE AGREEMENT, CHANGING THE MILESTONE COMPLETION DATE FROM MAY 30TH 1ST TO JULY 31ST. HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS, IF THERE ARE ANY FOR ME OR FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE PROJECT. MISS GOODEN.

THANK YOU MAYOR. I WILL START WITH THE NAME CHANGE. I NOTICED THAT IN THE PACKET AND DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT. MY QUESTION IS. THE NAME IS. SHEENA IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND ALREADY TRUSTED. CHANGING IT TO ISABELLA. DO WE SEE THERE BEING ANY CONCERNS WITH THE ESTABLISHED NAME NOT BEING USED AND CHANGING THE BRAND OVER TO ISABELLA? WILL THE PUBLIC CUSTOMERS BE ABLE TO CONNECT THE TWO FROM ENCINA TO ISABELLA? YEAH, ME SPECIFICALLY, I'M I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO SAY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT THE MOTIVATION IS BEHIND THEIR BUSINESS MODEL.

I DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THE BRAND RECOGNITION, RIGHT? THE THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY'VE BUILT THERE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM. AGAIN, THEY, THEY PLAN TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THAT LOCATION. AND SO MAYBE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR THIS LOCATION TO CARVE OUT ITS OWN IDENTITY, RIGHT? STILL AS A BRANDED, UNIQUE RESTAURANT, THERE WASN'T A CENA BEFORE IT WAS IN THAT LOCATION. SO AGAIN, WITHOUT SPEAKING FOR THE OPERATORS, FOR THE OWNER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL WENT INTO, YOU KNOW, THEIR MARKETING DESIGN AND PLANS TO DO THAT, ONLY THAT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION AS WE ANTICIPATE. RIGHT. AND LEADING UP TO THE OPENING FOR FOR THE DUNCANVILLE LOCATION LATER THIS THIS SUMMER. THANK YOU. MR. MCBURNETT. THANK YOU. MAYOR. YEAH, JUST ONE OTHER THINGS JUST TO KIND OF NOTE TOO. I

[01:35:05]

OKAY. ALRIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE PROJECT COMPLETION AND REIMBURSEMENT DEADLINE TO JULY 31ST, 2026. PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. EIGHT. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT D, WHICH IS A PUBLIC

[8.D. Conduct a public hearing for consideration and action regarding ZONE 2025-00007 request of Yasmine Leal (applicant/owner) for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow for Short-Term Rental (STR) in a residential neighborhood on real property located at 314 E. Center Street, legally described as Block 1, Lot 3, Freeman Addition, on 0.262 acres, City of Duncanville, Dallas County, Texas. ]

0007 REQUEST OF YASMINE LILLE. LILLE FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A SHORT TERM RENTAL. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR CITY COUNCIL DOCTOR SHAYLA JONES, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING. THIS PROJECT IS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE SHORT TERM RENTAL AT 314 EAST CENTER STREET. SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS TO ALLOW THE HOME OWNER TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE A S U P FOR SHORT TERM RENTAL. THE CURRENT ZONING IS S FOUR SF SEVEN, SO IT'S STILL SINGLE FAMILY. IT DOES MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO OPERATE IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT. IT DOESN'T DETER FROM THE CHARACTER OF THE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD FUNCTIONALITY. AND IT HAS THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO BATHROOMS. THE CURRENT ZONING, AS YOU SEE ON THE MAP, IS SINGLE FAMILY, LOCATED OFF OF GOLDMAN AND CENTER STREET. THE. FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE. WITH THE COMP PLAN. IT DOES FALL IN LINE WITH THAT AS IT IS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL, WHICH ALSO ALLOWS FOR SINGLE FAMILY, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THE YELLOW CIRCLE IS THE BUFFER MAP WHERE WE NOTICE EVERYBODY WITHIN THAT CIRCLE. HERE'S THE AERIAL VIEW OF THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OFF OF CENTER STREET IN GOLDMAN AT 314 EAST CENTER. SO WHEN WE LOOK INTO FEATURES THAT WE USE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF A, S, U, P MEETS THE STANDARDS FOR FOR THE S, U P PROCESS, WE LOOK AT IF IT'S CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE, IF THE DESIGN IS APPROPRIATE, IF IT PROMOTES INNOVATION CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY, ENHANCE THE IMPROVEMENT, ENHANCE AND IMPROVES THAT ZONING AREA, MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT DETRIMENTAL TO GENERAL HEALTH OR SAFETY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S STABILIZED AND IMPROVE PROPERTY VALUES, OF COURSE, PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE CITY ATTRACTIVENESS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE. IT CAN HELP DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY OF THE CITY. HERE'S A SITE PLAN OF THE ACTUAL FLOOR PLAN OF THAT SINGLE FAMILY HOME, AS WELL AS THE SURVEY THAT THEY PROVIDED. 21 MAILINGS WERE SENT OUT. ONE RESPONDED IN SUPPORT, NONE IN

[01:40:08]

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? MR. PENNYBAKER? THANK YOU MAYOR. A FEW QUESTIONS. THE. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THIS TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. YES. WHEN WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. AS FAR AS WHEN WE ISSUE THE PERMITS, ONE THING ON THIS IS FIVE, TEN YEARS, AND I'VE EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS ABOUT ISSUING TEN YEARS AND MAYBE WE SHOULD GO TO FIVE. SO WE HAVE A SECOND LOOK, CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE FIVE YEARS ON THESE WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING IN PLACE AS FAR AS PARKING LIMITS? IT WOULD BE THE STANDARD FOR THE ACTUAL ZONE. SO FOR SINGLE FAMILY IT WOULD PRETTY MUCH FOLLOWING THE SAME LINE WHERE YOU WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE THE TWO PARKING SPACES FOR THAT HOME, AS WELL AS IF IT HAS GARAGE SPACE, YOU WILL HAVE THAT. BUT ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT, CURRENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE.

OKAY, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO WITH SPECIAL USE PERMITS. AND AS FAR AS STREET PARKING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE COULD ENFORCE SOME LIMITATIONS. MAYOR, I WANT TO KIND OF CALL A POINT OF ORDER AND THAT WE NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO WAIT ON. OKAY. I'LL HOLD PLEASE. THANK YOU, MR. MCBURNETT. THANK YOU, MR. PENNYBAKER. OKAY, SO AT THIS POINT, THE PRESENTATION IS COMPLETE AND I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:56 P.M. TO BEGIN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WILL ASK ONCE AGAIN, MR. ROCKY, SINCE YOU CAME UP ONCE BEFORE, NOW THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS OPEN, WOULD YOUR WIFE LIKE TO SPEAK AGAIN? YES. OKAY. SO THIS WOULD BE SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION OF THE REQUEST. YES. MY NAME IS BILLY ROCKY. LIKE I SAID, I LIVE AT 307 EAST CENTER STREET AND I KNOW THIS PAST SATURDAY THEY HAD, YOU KNOW, AN EVENT OVER THERE AND THERE WAS QUITE A FEW CARS PARKED ALL DOWN IN FRONT OF OUR STREET, IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND, AND OVER THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, OVER ON OUR SIDE OF THE STREET AS WELL. BUT I KNOW THE, THE MUSIC SOUND AND EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY LOUD, YOU KNOW, WHICH WE'RE NOT REALLY USED TO. LIKE I SAID, WE'VE BEEN IN THAT AREA FOR, FOR PROBABLY OVER 50 YEARS AND WE REALLY LIKE TO. KIND OF LIKE OUR PEACE AND QUIET, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I KIND OF SPEAK REALLY AGAINST. HAVING IT ZONED FOR, YOU KNOW, HAVING EVENTS AND WHAT HAVE YOU OVER THERE. BECAUSE WE, WE'VE NEVER HAD IT THERE BEFORE. AND IT, I THINK IT REALLY ALLOWS TOO MANY PROBLEMS TO. I ALWAYS SAY, COME TO A BAD CHOICE, I GUESS, BUT ANYWAY, ACTUALLY I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. SO NO, I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT AND I DIDN'T CATCH FOR THIS TIME UP. WOULD YOU REPEAT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AGAIN? BILLY ROCKY IS 307 EAST CENTER STREET. OKAY. JUST ALMOST RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEIR LOCATION WHERE THEY'RE DOING THESE EVENTS. SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. CONTINUING WITH THE THOSE THAT ARE IN OPPOSITION, I HAVE ANOTHER REQUEST FROM.

CATHY. M AND D. OKAY. WOULD YOU CARE TO COME UP AND SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? OH I APOLOGIZE, I SEE ON HERE YOU DID NOT CARE TO BE TO COME UP AND SPEAK. SO WITH THAT I'LL ASK, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT THAT IS IN OPPOSITION OF THIS REQUEST? ITEM EIGHT D ANYONE ELSE HERE IN OPPOSITION OF THE REQUEST FOR A SHORT TERM RENTAL? SURE. COME ON UP. SIR.

[01:45:05]

ALL RIGHT. NOW, WHAT WE WANT TO WE WANT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S GETTING A LITTLE DANGEROUS AROUND THERE. LITTLE UNSTABLE, IF YOU MIGHT SAY. I'M 84 YEARS OLD AND I ENJOY MY HOME. IT'S NICE AND QUIET. MY NEIGHBORS ARE FINE. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS, BUT WHEN THEY CAME IN WITH THIS HOUSE, BOUGHT IT AND STARTED RENTING IT OUT AS A B&B OR WHATEVER THEY DO, THEY BRING IN A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THERE AND THEY STAY OVERNIGHT AND TURN THE MUSIC UP LOUD, DO A LOT OF DRINKING AND IT'S JUST DISTURBING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I DO NOT LIKE IT. LIKE I SAY, I'M 84 YEARS OLD AND I'M LIVING IN A PEACEFUL PLACE RIGHT NOW.

AND THE LONGER THIS GOES ON, THE MORE TROUBLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE DON'T WANT GUNS IN THERE. WE DON'T WANT BULLETS FLYING IN THE AIR, AND WE DON'T WANT FIRES GOING ON. WE WANT SOME PEACE AROUND THERE. AND THAT'S MY REQUEST THAT THAT LOOK INTO IT AND STOP IT. I MEAN, IF THE GUY BOUGHT THE THE HOUSE TO DO THIS AND BRING IN ALL PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT STATES AND DON'T, DON'T EVEN KNOW THE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND OF THESE PEOPLE AND, AND THEY RENT THAT, THAT THING FOR ONE NIGHT, MAYBE TWO NINES, 3/9. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OVER THERE. IT'S GETTING A LITTLE UNSTABLE AND I'M VERY UNSTABLE AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. LAST CALL FOR ANYONE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST. SEEING NONE, I'LL ASK THAT ANYONE THAT WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST, PLEASE COME FORWARD. ANYONE IN FAVOR? NO. REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER HERE TONIGHT. OKAY, THEN I WOULD AT THIS POINT, SINCE THERE IS NO ONE COMING FORWARD TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, I'D REQUEST A MOTION. SO MOVED. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALRIGHT. MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. SECOND. SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM GOODEN. PLEASE VOTE. OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AT 8:02 P.M. HEY, MISTER. MISTER PENNYBAKER.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. OKAY, SO. I DIDN'T GET A NOTIFICATION. WE HAVE A PROPERTY RIGHT THERE AND WE DIDN'T GET A NOTIFICATION. SO I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS INITIALLY IF THERE WERE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, OTHER PEOPLE. THE 11TH HOUR TODAY, I HAD TWO PEOPLE REACH OUT TO ME AND THEY'RE NOT HERE. SO THERE, THERE'S TWO MORE THAT SPOKE TO ME AT ABOUT 515 TODAY. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT THE PROPERTY. SO THE PROPERTY OWNER'S NOT HERE. NO.

OKAY. BECAUSE I'D LIKE THEM TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS HERE AND SOME STUFF THAT I HEARD ON THE PHONE EARLIER. I HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT THE STORY IS THE SAME. WE HAVE PARTIES, MULTIPLE CARS FILLING UP THE STREET, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PARKING RESTRICTIONS THAT WE CAN POTENTIALLY PUT ON THE S, U P S BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO OCCUPY THAT HOUSE AND NOT HAVE PARTIES. RIGHT? RIGHT. SOMETHING ELSE I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT. THIS IS OUR DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, AND WE WANT TO ENHANCE IT AND BEAUTIFY IT. CAN WE LOOK AT SOME OTHER THINGS LIKE ESTHETICS? WE USUALLY REQUIRE THAT OF BUSINESSES COMING IN AND THIS IS GOING TO BE OPERATED LIKE A BUSINESS. SO, YOU KNOW, LANDSCAPING, THINGS LIKE THAT. I'M JUST THROWING THESE OUT FOR CONSIDERATION AND, YOU KNOW, TALKING THINGS TO CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT.

A LOT OF QUESTIONS I'D HAVE FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER. DO WE KNOW IF IT'S VACANT RIGHT NOW?

[01:50:03]

SO THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY WERE OPERATING AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORIZATION FROM THE CITY. THEY WEREN'T. YES, THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OPERATING AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL UNTIL IT WAS APPROVED. IF IT WAS APPROVED, HAVE THEY BEEN NOTIFIED NOT TO OPERATE AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL UNTIL IT WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS? WE WEREN'T AWARE THAT THEY WERE OPERATING AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL. IN FACT, WITH THE DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS. NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST THAT WE'VE GOTTEN HER. WE'VE HEARD OF THE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS THAT'S COMING UP. NOW. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT INITIATED THEM TO COME IN AND DO IT RIGHT. OKAY. MR. BURNETT WAS FIRST. THANK YOU. I NOTICED THERE WAS ONE IN IN PERSON IN SUPPORT OF AND I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN OUR PACKET. DO WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION? NO, WE DO NOT HAVE THAT ONE. BUT WE CAN GET IT IN CITY MANAGER. IF YOU CAN MAKE SURE WE HAVE THOSE IN THE FUTURE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL. YES, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT'S THE CASE GOING FORWARD. ALSO PNC PAST IT.

YES. WERE THERE ANY CONDITIONS? SO ORIGINALLY STAFF RECOMMENDED FIVE YEARS FOR THIS SHORT TERM RENTAL. THE PNC DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO GIVE THEM TEN YEARS AS FAR AS ANY OTHER CONDITIONS OTHER THAN THE NUISANCE PUTTING THAT INTO PLACE, IF THERE WERE IF THEY DID BECOME A NUISANCE AND BEING ABLE TO DO, WHICH WOULD BE STANDARD WITHIN OUR ORDINANCE, THEY DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T ADD ANY EXTRA CONDITIONS. THANK YOU. CAN CAN YOU? AND IT'S FOR THESE THAT ARE ALSO IN OPPOSITION AS WELL. CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THE NUISANCE IS AND WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS CAN BE AS WELL? ABSOLUTELY. SO WITH THE NUISANCE WITHIN OUR ORDINANCE, ANY PROPERTY THAT'S OPERATING AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL, IF THERE IS A NUISANCE AND PEOPLE ARE CALLED OUT, THEN THE CITY DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVOKE THE SHORT TERM RENTAL BECAUSE THE ISSUE CAN ALL BE REVOKED IF IT'S NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES. AND IF IT'S LIKE NOISE ISSUES OR ANY TYPE OF THINGS THAT WOULD BE DISRUPTING THE COMMUNITY. SO THE CITY DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY OF THE ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE ANY OF THOSE NUISANCES. THE THE APPLICANT OWNER, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT HERE. DO THEY LIVE ON THE ON SITE? NO. OKAY. OKAY. AND THEY WERE AT THE PNC MEETING. THEY, THEY WERE ASKED TO COME TO THIS MEETING, BUT THEY DIDN'T THEY COULDN'T COME. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. KOONTZ. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR.

SO IT'S NOT OWNER OCCUPIED? NO. OKAY. AND THEN. HOW MANY AND I KNOW YOU HAD THE THE FLOOR PLAN OF THE HOUSE, BUT HOW MANY DIFFERENT ROOMS ARE THERE AND UP TO HOW MANY DIFFERENT GUESTS COULD OCCUPY THE HOUSE AT THE SAME TIME? SO CURRENTLY IT'S THREE BEDROOMS, TWO BATHROOM.

AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF GUESTS THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE PROPERTY OWNER OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY WOULD ALLOW. WE CAN'T NECESSARILY REGULATE THAT BECAUSE IT'S THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THEY DIDN'T. THAT WASN'T ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NECESSARILY LOOKED IN BECAUSE IT'S MORE OF A ZONE CHANGE. AND SO CURRENTLY IT IS THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH. AND TYPICALLY THEY WOULD HAVE PROVIDED THAT TO US. HOW MANY PEOPLE, BUT THEY DID NOT PROVIDE HOW MANY PEOPLE OF THAT WOULD OCCUPY THE HOME BECAUSE WE CAN'T REGULATE IT. OKAY, JUST, JUST A COMMENT ON THE HOUSE WHERE IT'S LOCATED BECAUSE SO IT'S IN A SCHOOL ZONE. AND AS FAR AS NOT BEING SURE ABOUT THE PARKING, PARKING IS ALREADY A HAZARD ON CENTER STREET. AND THAT'S OF COURSE, THE MAIN ARTERY THROUGH THE CITY AND THROUGH THAT PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WITH THE SCHOOL, WHICH IS, I THINK IT'S HASTINGS ON THE OTHER. WHAT IS

THIS ITEM WAS TABLED AT THE FEBRUARY 9TH PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT IT CAME BACK ON MARCH 9TH AND IT WAS APPROVED FIVE ZERO WITH A FIVE YEAR RENEWAL DATE FOR. AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THE OWNERSHIP OF THE BUILDING IN SUPPORT OF THE SOP TO OPERATE A DRIVE THROUGH AT OUR PROPERTY IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE DRIVE THROUGH AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE AND MITIGATE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC CONGESTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRIVE THROUGH. SEVERAL OPERATIONAL AND DESIGN MEASURES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AT THE PROPERTY.

THE DRIVE THROUGH INCLUDES A SINGLE ORDERING WINDOW AND A STOPPING POINT, WHICH INHERENTLY LIMITS THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT CAN QUEUE AND THE DRIVE THROUGH LANE AT ANY TIME.

THE LANE IS DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO FOUR VEHICLES, INCLUDING TWO DESIGNATED WAITING SPOTS, WITHOUT IMPEDING ACCESS OR BLOCKING ANY OF THE ADJACENT PARKING SPACES. SHOULD ALADDIN BEGIN TO EXCEED THE CAPACITY OF THE DRIVE THROUGH LANE, THE ATTENDANT IN THE RESTAURANT WILL DIRECT CUSTOMERS TO PULL FORWARD INTO THE DESIGNATED WAITING AREA, AS NOTED ON THE SITE PLAN. ONCE ORDERS ARE PREPARED, A DRIVE THROUGH RUNNER WILL DELIVER THOSE ITEMS TO CUSTOMERS DIRECTLY IN THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE WAITING. IN ADDITION, TWO PARKING SPOTS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE SUITE WILL BE DESIGNATED AS PICKUP ONLY, PROVIDING AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR PICKING UP ORDERS. THERE WILL ALSO BE CLEAR NO BLOCKING PARKING SPACES, SIGNAGE TO DIRECT THOSE WHO ARE IN THE DRIVE THROUGH AND PREVENT PARKED CARS FROM BEING BLOCKED. LASTLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE TWO ACCESS POINTS ALONG CENTER STREET, WHICH SHEILA HAD MENTIONED, WILL BE DEDICATED AS EXIT ONLY AND THE ONE ENTRANCE POINT ALONG CEDAR RIDGE WILL BE DEDICATED AS ENTRANCE ONLY TO ENSURE PROPER FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND AVOID ANY CARS FROM BEING BLOCKED IN AND POTENTIAL BACKUP WITHIN THE PARKING LOT. OUR DAIQUIRI TENANT IS A WELL ESTABLISHED OPERATOR BASED IN HOUSTON WITH OVER 20 LOCATIONS, THIS BEING THEIR FIRST IN DFW AS THEY CONTINUE THEIR EXPANSION THROUGHOUT TEXAS.

IT'S COMPLEMENTARY TO OUR CURRENT TENANT LINEUP AS THE DONUTS OPERATES MAINLY IN THE MORNING BOOSTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND SISTER GIRLS KITCHEN MAINLY IN THE EVENING AND AFTERNOON. WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING THIS CONCEPT TO DUNCANVILLE, AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. OKAY, WE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, SO HANG TIGHT. AT THIS POINT, IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH? AND TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS ABOUT THE REQUEST FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH, NOT FOR PERMISSION TO RUN A DAIQUIRI OPERATION THERE. SO THIS IS ABOUT THE DRIVE THROUGH. ONLY ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE DRIVE THROUGH. OKAY. SEEING NONE, I'LL ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE DRIVE THROUGH. ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST FOR A DRIVE THROUGH AT THE LOCATION. OKAY. SEEING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, MAYOR. MOTION TO CLOSE BY. COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN CHERRY BROWN. PLEASE VOTE. OKAY. CAN WE CAN WE PULL UP THE THE DRIVE THROUGH DIAGRAM? STACKING REQUIREMENTS FOR PER OUR OUR ORDINANCE. WHAT'S THE NUMBER HERE? IT'S FOUR. IT IS FOUR. YES. OKAY. AND IS THAT A MARKED

SO IF YOU'RE COMING DOWN. YES. CENTER, YOU GOT TO TURN AND GO UP. OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU. IT'S GOOD. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER KOONTZ, FOR THAT QUESTION. THERE WAS ANOTHER PHOTO. COULD WE. SO NOW THEY'RE ABLE TO ENTER OFF OF CENTER STREET CURRENTLY. RIGHT.

AND CEDAR. CEDAR RIDGE. YES. AND GOING FORWARD WITH THIS, IF IT'S APPROVED, THOSE TRAVELING AND WHO LIVE ON CENTER WOULD HAVE TO COME UP TO CEDAR RIDGE, THEN ENTER THROUGH OFF OF CEDAR RIDGE CURRENTLY. OKAY. AND THEN THERE'S NO CONTINGENCY FOR THE FIRE LANE. DID I HEAR THAT? NO.

PLAN ON HOW THEY WOULD ADDRESS THE FIRE LANE. IS THAT WHAT THE QUESTION IS? YEAH, WE HAVE WE HAVE THE FIRE CHIEF HERE. I GUESS FOR SAFETY, IT'S ALL WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS? BUT BEING IN A FIRE LANE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME COULD BE AN ISSUE. ABSOLUTELY. FIRE DEPARTMENT ISSUE, LET ALONE YOUR OWN ISSUE FOR KIND OF WATCHING THE BUSINESS AND MAKE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE OTHER FORMS OF VIOLATIONS WITH THE VEHICLE STACKING, RIGHT. AND SO WHEN WE WAS GOING THROUGH THE PLAN, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL PLAN, I BELIEVE, HAD LIKE A LESSER NUMBER OF STACKING, BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO TIE OFF THOSE EXITS AS WELL. AND SO THAT'S WHEN THEY WERE LIKE, WELL, WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND DIRECT TRAFFIC. AND THEN ONCE WE START LOOKING INTO THE OTHER BUSINESSES, BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T HOLD OFF THE BUSINESSES OR EVEN PARK BEHIND THE BUSINESSES OF COMPANIES THAT'S ALREADY THERE. AND SO THEN WHEN WE START LOOKING INTO THE BUSINESS THAT

I DO HAVE SOME NAMES THAT ARE BEING CALLED OUT, MR. GORDON. YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.

THANK YOU. BARRY GORDON, 1751 CRESCENT LANE, DUNCANVILLE, 75137. GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER, CITY MANAGER. IN BEING QUITE HONEST WITH EVERYONE, PRESENT MY SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION TO THIS CHANGE HAS VACILLATED OVER TIME. I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SINCE ITS INCEPTION, AND I WATCHED IT GROW AND SEEN WHAT'S HAPPENED TO IT. I WILL TELL YOU THAT IN 2019 2020, MY WIFE AND I SAT IN THE PARKING LOT OF THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT WHEATON PLAZA, AND WE KNEW IT WAS BLIGHTED. THAT'S A WORD WE DON'T USE QUITE OFTEN IN THIS OUR CITY. BUT WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS A BLIGHTED AREA. LOOKING AT THAT OLD SHOPPING CENTER AND WHAT HAD DONE TO OUR CITY, AND NOBODY HAD DONE ANYTHING WITH IT. SO WE PRAYED OVER THAT LAND AND WE PRAYED OVER THAT PROPERTY AND SOUGHT GOD'S DIRECTION FOR SOMEONE TO REACH OUT AND DO SOMETHING WITH THIS PROPERTY. AND THANKFULLY, THE LORD BLESSED AN INDIVIDUAL, THE APPLICANT WHO WAS HERE TONIGHT, MR. ANDERSON, TO INVEST IN THIS PROPERTY. AND HE ALSO GOT THE COOPERATION OF THE CITY TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT TO SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR AMOUNTS. AND THE WAY THAT WAS ACTUALLY CONFIGURED WAS MIRACULOUS BECAUSE THE CITY PARTICIPATED IN THE ACTUAL LOANING OF SOME MONEY, BUT DID NOT BECOME A COSIGNER TO THAT LOAN. IF YOU LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THOSE DOCUMENTS, IT'S AMAZING AND IT'S MIRACULOUS IN HOW THAT WAS CONFIGURED AND CONSTRUCTED DUE TO MR. ANDERSON'S VISION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. I THINK HE IS A VICTIM OF THE SUCCESS OF WHAT HE HAS DONE. AND OVER TIME, WE HAVE WATCHED MY WIFE AND I HAVE WATCHED THIS PROPERTY IN TERMS OF WHAT ITS ISSUE IS. THE ISSUE IS THE PARKING PROBLEM, AND I'M GOING TO RECHARACTERIZE IT AS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT IT'S AN ISSUE THAT HE HAS DEALT WITH AND DEALT WITH, I THINK EFFECTIVELY, BECAUSE WE HAVE BECOME VERY FREQUENT PATRONS OF BUSINESSES THAT WHEATLAND PLAZA AND THE VERY TIMES DURING THE DAY, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A PLACE

[02:20:01]

THEY'RE DRIVING 20 AND 30 MILES TO COME TO WHEATLAND PLAZA TO BE PATRONS OF SOME OF THOSE BUSINESSES. SO IN TERMS OF WHAT THE FOCUS OF MR. ANDERSON WAS FOR WHEATLAND PLAZA IN THE PAST HAS COME TO FRUITION. IT IS A DESTINATION LOCATION. AND IN FACT, IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS, WE GO WAY, WAY BACK AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, WE ARE LOOKING FOR A WALK, LIVE AND PLAY LOCATION FOR WHEATLAND PLAZA TO BE CONNECTED TO ARMSTRONG PARK.

THAT'S A LONG TERM VISION, BUT HE ACTUALLY PROPOSED THAT. SO I STAND HERE AND STRONGLY IN SUPPORT OF THIS PD AMENDMENT AND ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER ALL OF THESE FACTORS AND KNOWING HOW THIS IS GOING TO LOOK IN THE FUTURE AND FOR WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO FOR THE FUTURE. AND THE OWNERS OF THESE TOWNHOMES AND CONDOMINIUMS, AGAIN, OWNERS, NOT RENTERS, BUT OWNERS OF THE CONDOMINIUMS THAT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE PARKING LOT OF WHEATLAND PLAZA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. SUSAN COREY. YOU WANT TO COME UP IF SHE'S GOING TO. OKAY. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. DO YOU WANT ME TO COME? WELL, YOU ALL ARE IN FAVOR. I, I HAVE I HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I GOT A QUESTION. ALL RIGHT. CAN WE CAN WE JUST WE HAVE TWO, TWO IN FRONT OF YOU. I'M LYING. YOU GOT THREE. I'M PUSHING YOU FURTHER OUT.

OKAY? GO AHEAD, MISS COREY. GO AHEAD. WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO HEAR THE PRESENTATION.

AS WELL. THEY'VE ALREADY STATED. I'M GOING TO ALLOW THESE PEOPLE TO SPEAK. THEY'VE ALREADY STATED THEY PUT IN CARDS. AND I'M JUST. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND LET THEM SPEAK. COME ON. COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

I'M IN TROUBLE NOW. I'M SUSAN COREY. I LIVE AT 614 SOUTH ALEXANDER AVENUE AND. WE'RE A

[02:25:01]

OKAY. AND THAT IS CONSIDERED ABANDONMENT. AND I. DO YOU HAVE MORE. NO. OKAY. I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO. MR. I'M SORRY, MR. ANDERSON. I WANT TO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I SEE WHAT YOUR POINT WAS. AND IF YOU'RE DONE, MR. ANDERSON, PLEASE COME UP. AND AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE. I WAS IN THE IN THE SUPPORT OF YOUR YOUR EFFORT HERE, AND I CAN SEND YOU COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. I SEE YOU EVERY DAY. YOU COULD ASK ME. WELL, THERE WE GO.

SORRY. MY NAME IS MARNIE ANDERSON. I'M AT I LIVE AT 1210 GREENLEAF, AND I'M THE OWNER AND THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROPERTY. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE SLIDES REAL QUICK BECAUSE I THINK IT'LL HELP YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE OVER THE OVERVIEW OF THE APPROVED PLANS. AGAIN, I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN I ALREADY GOT A LONG TIME AGO. WHEN WE STARTED THIS, THE WE'LL LOOK AT THE CITY REQUESTED THE TECHNICAL. OKAY, THERE'S A POINT OF ORDER RIGHT NOW. LET'S HEAR THE. SO ARE WE STILL IN THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES. OKAY, SO SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OR AGAINST. AND THEN AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, I THINK IS WHEN WE SHOULD HEAR THE PRESENTATION. THE ATTORNEY'S GOT A RESPONSE, RIGHT? PLEASE. OKAY. SINCE I SINCE I'VE.

OKAY. SO AT THIS POINT, AT THIS POINT IN THE MEETING, WE'RE STILL IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT TO THE POINT OF ORDER THAT MR. KOONTZ HAS CITED THAT MR. ANDERSON CAN CONTINUE WITH HIS PRESENTATION? OKAY, CONTINUE. OKAY. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COVER IS THE OVERVIEW OF THE APPROVED PLANS. THE CITY REQUESTED REFINEMENTS, THOSE TECHNICAL SETBACKS, WHICH ARE TECHNICALITIES, AND THEN NEW AND UPCOMING BUSINESS AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. IF YOU REMEMBER BACK WHEN WE FIRST DID THIS, OKAY, IF YOU REMEMBER BACK WHEN WE WHEN WE DID THIS, I HAD SEVERAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS. IN FACT, I TOLD THE CITIZENS AT THAT TIME, IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO THIS, TELL ME NOW AND DON'T TORTURE ME LATER ON. AND SO WE SAID, THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME. IT WON'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO START FIXING IT UP AND DOING IT IN PHASES. AND ALL OF THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON THE MARKET, THE ECONOMY AND THE CITY ZONING. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. SO WHEN WE FIRST WHEN WE FIRST LAID THIS OUT, THIS IS WHAT YOU SAW AT

[02:30:02]

NOW HERE'S THE HERE'S THE CURRENT SITE PLAN. AND THESE ARE 12 UNITS. WHEN WE GOT THE FIRST, OUR FIRST ZONING ALLOWED US TO PUT 50 UNITS HERE, 50 UNITS. AND OVER TIME I SAW EVEN THOUGH WE COULD DO IT, JUST BECAUSE WE CAN, DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD. AND THAT'S THE PHILOSOPHY THAT I TAKE. AND WE DOWNSIZE THIS TO 12 UNITS AND THERE'LL BE 12, TWO STORY TOWNHOME UNITS IN THE PARKING LOT THERE. AND THE SETBACKS HAVE TO DO WHERE WE DREW THE LINE. SEE, THIS IS THERE'S A DASHED LINE AROUND THAT, AROUND THOSE PROJECT, AROUND THE TOWNHOMES. THIS, THIS WILL BE A PLATTED LOT. ONCE WE GET THROUGH HERE, WE'LL GO TO PLATTING NEXT AND THIS WILL BE A PLATTED LOT. IT'LL BE A PLATTED SEPARATELY. THIS WILL BE A CONDO ASSOCIATION. THESE WILL BE SOLD AND WE WILL BE DEED RESTRICTING THESE WHERE NO ONE PERSON CAN OWN OVER ONE UNIT. IN OTHER WORDS, AN INVESTOR CAN'T COME ALONG AND BUY SEVERAL UNITS AND DIFFERENT NAMES AND THEN TURN THEM INTO RENTALS. WE CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM RENTING THEM ONE DAY IF THEY DO, BUT THERE ARE GOING TO BE OWNER OCCUPIED. AND LAST BUT NOT WELL, LET ME LET ME LET ME GO BACK. ONE OTHER THING. THE ALLEY ABANDONED ALLEY AROUND THIS PROJECT, IT SHOWS UP. IT'S MISLEADING ON THE THE NOTICES THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD GETS BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT ALLEY BACK THERE, I NEVER DID. IT'S AN ENCORE EASEMENT. I ONLY KEEP IT UP BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME I HAD TO, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS RIGHT, BUT I DO IT ANYWAY. I DON'T WANT TO ABANDON IT. I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH IT. I MEAN, IT'S FULL OF, YOU KNOW, ENCORE POLES. I NEVER INTENDED TO BUILD ANYTHING BACK THERE. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT TOUCHING THAT ALLEY. SO WHATEVER'S GOING ON WITH THAT ABANDONED ALLEY. ENCORE EASEMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I DON'T INTEND TO BLOCK IT OR TOUCH IT AT ALL. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, JUST ON THE ON THE ECONOMIC SIDE, WHEN WE STARTED, THIS WAS ON THE TAX ROLLS FOR $3 MILLION AND WHICH IS $428,000 AN ACRE. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT STUDY THIS KIND OF STUFF, YOU KNOW THAT A CITY GOES BROKE AT 428,000 AN ACRE. AND WHEN WE GET THROUGH WITH THIS, IT'LL BE ON THE TAX ROLLS FOR 25 MILLION, WHICH IS ABOUT 3.57 MILLION AN ACRE, WITHOUT HAVING TO ADD ANY INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE FUTURE TO, TO, TO THE DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'VE DONE WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD DO FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WE'RE STILL HERE TRYING TO DO THAT. IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD TO GET HERE. AND WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WE MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS. SO JUST HANG TIGHT, OKAY? THERE MIGHT BE QUESTIONS THAT COME UP.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE ON. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE A IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT? ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST? I'M SORRY, THE REQUEST TO AMEND THE CURRENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT SITE. OKAY. SEEING NONE, I HAVE A SPEAKER WHO

[02:35:02]

MY ADDRESS IS 515 ALLEN AVENUE. I'M NOT ONLY HERE REPRESENTING MYSELF, BUT ALSO MY GRANDMOTHER THAT LIVES AT 514 ALLEN AVENUE. SHE'S 95 YEARS OLD, SO SHE COULDN'T MAKE IT TODAY. MY MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN HE PUTS THESE TOWNHOMES IN, YOU ARE TAKING UP A WHOLE LOT OF PARKING FOR THESE BUILDINGS. THAT MEANS THAT PARKING IS GOING TO START AFFECTING THOSE OF US THAT BACK UP TO IT. MR. MOTE CURRENTLY IS NOT DOING WHAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO DO FOR OUR PRIVACY. I HAVE NO PRIVACY IN MY BACK YARD BECAUSE HE REFUSES TO PUT UP HIS PRIVACY FENCING, BUT ALSO MY MY DAUGHTER LOVES TO GO ACROSS THE STREET TO SEE HER GRANDMOTHER. I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ALL THE EXTRA FLOW OF CARS FROM THIS PROPERTY AND THE PARKING. AND WHAT MR. MOTE DIDN'T MENTION IN HIS PRESENTATION IS THAT HE HAS THE TEXAS DMV IN THIS PARKING LOT. SO ALL OF THESE PARKING, LIKE THE PICTURES HE SHOWED, THAT PARKING LOT IS COMPLETELY FILLED BECAUSE OF THAT TEXAS DMV. SO AS A POINT OF CORRECTION, IT'S MR. ANDERSON. SORRY, MR. ANDERSON, MY BAD. SO RIGHT NOW WITH THE I MEAN, YOU CAN DRIVE BY DURING THE DAY AND IT IS COMPLETELY FULL. AND I AM WORRIED THAT WHEN HE PUTS THESE TOWNHOMES IN THAT YOU HAVE ALL THESE EXTRA CARS AND HE'S LIKE, THERE'S EXTRA PARKING, BUT HE'S TAKING UP MORE PARKING SPOTS WITH THESE TOWNHOMES THAN, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S THERE NOW. SO WHERE ARE THESE EXTRA CARS GOING TO BE PARKING? WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START PARKING ALONG OUR STREETS, WHICH MAKES IT MORE BUSY, MORE CROWDED, BETTER CHANCE THAT MY DAUGHTER GETS HIT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T SEE HER, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF ALL THESE EXTRA CARS PARKED ON THE ROAD. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHEN LOOKING AT THIS. I WILL ADMIT MR. MOTE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB BRINGING THESE OTHER BUSINESSES IN. WHEATLAND PLAZA IS LOOKING GREAT. I AM LOVING ALL THE STORES, BUT TO PUT TOWNHOMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOPPING CENTER, IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO FLOW.

IT'S LIKE THIS RANDOM THING THAT WE JUST DECIDED, LET'S JUST PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING SPOT, LIKE PARKING LOT. OH, LET ME JUST THROW A HOUSE HERE. IT JUST DOESN'T FLOW. IF IT WAS ONE THING, IF HE WOULD PUT MORE BUILDINGS THERE TO HAVE MORE STOREFRONTS, I'M ALL ABOUT THAT. BUT JUST TO RANDOMLY PUT TOWNHOMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT IN A SHOPPING CENTER, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY, ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST TO AMEND THE SITE PLAN? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION TO CLOSE BY. COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. SECOND. SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM GOODEN.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:53 P.M. FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL. OH. I'M SORRY. LET'S VOTE. ALL EIGHT OF US. OH, WE'RE BACK TO SEVEN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. JUST JUST TO BE CLEAR. I THINK THE THE CAPTION HERE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, BUT THIS IS ONLY TO AMEND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND SITE PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE THE DISCOVERY THAT SETBACKS WEREN'T MEETING THE CURRENT BUILDING CODE SETBACK OR ZONING SETBACKS. YES. SO THAT AND THE NUMBER OF UNITS CHANGED. SO FROM 50 TO 12. AND SO BECAUSE HE'S BECAUSE HE CREATED THE SETBACKS AND HE CAN'T MEET THEM, IT NEEDED TO BE AMENDED. SO YES, THAT'S THE THE BIGGEST THING WITH THAT. I WANT TO THANK MR. GORDON FOR HAVING SUCH A GREAT MEMORY, BECAUSE AS I WENT BACK IN MY MIND AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD FOR QUITE SOME TIME ON THIS ISSUE, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY PUBLIC IN OUR DISCUSSIONS THAT TOWNHOMES WERE A CONSIDERATION ON THIS PROPERTY, AND THAT ONE DAY THERE WOULD BE. I WAS HOPING THERE WOULDN'T BE 51 PERSONALLY, BUT IT'S BEEN SCALED BACK SIGNIFICANTLY. BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF HIS PROPOSAL

[02:40:05]

MR. KOONTZ. SO WITH THE THE THIS AMENDED SITE PLAN, DOES IT DOES IT MEET ALL THE THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS, ALL THE MINIMUM PARKING STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE PARKING FOR THE PD, LIKE THE TOWNHOMES. YES. SO IT DOES. YES. OKAY. YES. AND THEN WHEN WAS THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN APPROVED? THE ORIGINAL PD AND I BELIEVE 2023 OR 2024. AND THE 22 MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK 22 OKAY. SO 2022 IS CORRECT. THE ORIGINAL. YES. AND AND AND HOW MANY UNITS WERE APPROVED ON THAT SITE PLAN AGAIN? 50. OKAY. AND SO IF IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, THEN. THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AFTER THAT? SO THE SITE PLAN WOULDN'T BE APPROVED OR THE AMENDED AMENDMENT WOULDN'T BE APPROVED. AND SO HE WOULD STILL HAVE TO BUILD ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUS. CORRECT. SO WHICH WOULD BE MORE UNITS, MORE UNITS. AND THEN THE SETBACKS THAT ARE IN THERE RIGHT NOW. AND SO HE EVEN WITH THE WITH THE INCREASED AMOUNT OF UNITS, HE PROBABLY WOULD STILL NEED CHANGES OF THE SETBACKS. OKAY. SO IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS, THEN HE WOULD STILL BE BUILDING ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUS SITE PLAN. IF HE CAN MEET THE SETBACKS IN THE PREVIOUS SITE PLAN. THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MR. KOONTZ, I JUST WANT TO ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE EARLIER.

AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND THAT WHEN I FIRST GOT ON COUNCIL, THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR CONCERN OF EVEN PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, BUT IT JUST IN THE GENERAL AREA WAS THAT IT IT LOOKED DEAD AND AND IT LOOKED UNSAFE AND IT WAS BLIGHTED. AND THAT'S NOT A WORD THAT YOU JUST THROW AROUND. AND NOW WHEN YOU DRIVE BY THERE OR YOU'RE IN THERE, THAT IT SOMETIMES FEELS OVERCROWDED BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH LIFE. AND SO IT'S BEEN REANIMATED. I'M THANKFUL, AS THE MAYOR SAID, THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE 50 UNITS OR 40 OR 30 OR 25. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS IT'S DOWN TO A MINIMUM NUMBER. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF IT MEETS THOSE MINIMUM PARKING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS, THEN I THINK WE'RE SAFER WITH THIS SITE PLAN THAN WE ARE WITH THE ONE THAT CAME BEFORE IT. SO THANK YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE MORE LIGHTS, BUT I WANT I WANT TO KIND OF COMMENT. IN ADDITION TO MR. KUN'S COMMENTS THAT. TRADITIONALLY WE WE'VE NOT GROWN UP WITH THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS LIKE THIS, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND TODAY AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE IN SAKSI OR PLANO OR ARLINGTON, YOU'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE PROJECTS. AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY A NATIONAL TREND THAT YOU'RE SEEING PROJECTS THAT ARE COMBINING RESIDENTIAL WITH COMMERCIAL. AND IT IN SPITE OF THE FACT YOUR FIRST REACTION IS MAYBE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS. I THINK THE PARKING SITUATION, WHICH CAN BE CHALLENGING ON A BUSY DAY AT THE MOTOR VEHICLE PLACE, BUT I THINK IT WILL WORK ITSELF OUT. I TOO HAD HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT MAY GO TO THESE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, AND I KNOW RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT FOOD ESTABLISHMENT THERE THAT'S VERY POPULAR, HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME IN WITH WALKERS AND CANES AND EVEN WHEELCHAIRS, AND TO NAVIGATE FROM OUT NEAR WHERE THE DRIVE THROUGH. ATM IS IN A WHEELCHAIR ON A WALKER, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, YOU CAN DROP PEOPLE OFF AT THE FRONT DOOR AND THEN COME BACK, BUT IT'S GOING TO CHANGE. IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THAT, AND PEOPLE WILL FIND A WAY TO STILL CONTINUE TO GO TO THOSE BUSINESSES, BUT THEY'LL FIND A WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS IF THEY HAVE TO PARK OUT FURTHER, WHICH INEVITABLY THAT COULD HAPPEN. BUT I'M I'M GOING TO LOOK AT IT WITH OPEN EYES TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A GROWING TREND ALL OVER THE METROPLEX. AND IT'S IT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE USED

[02:45:03]

SO. NO, MA'AM. SO HE'S NOT ASKING FOR ANY TAKEOVER OF THE EASEMENT? NO, MA'AM. OKAY. AND THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING. WELL, THE THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING BE PROTECTED ARE. HOW WILL WE PREVENT CUSTOMERS FROM THE BUSINESS'S PARKING IN THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING. SO HE STATED THAT HE'S GOING TO DO RESIDENT ONLY SIGNS. AND SO THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT HE'S PROPOSED TO DO THAT AS WELL AS WITH THE TOWING INFORMATION. SO THOSE ARE 12.

SO THAT'S THE THE CURRENT PLAN. OKAY. AND TO THE CONSTITUENTS WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IT, I YOUR CONCERNS WERE HEARD. THIS WAS A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PD BACK IN 2022. I REMEMBER THE DISCUSSIONS IN 2021 THAT WERE HAPPENING AROUND IT. AND AS COUNCIL MEMBER KOONTZ POINTED OUT, IT WAS ONCE 50, 51 HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 12. SO EITHER WE APPROVE THIS AND GOES WITH 12, OR IF NOT, IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR 50. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT AGAIN.

AND TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, THIS IS VERY NONTRADITIONAL. IT'S NOT WHAT WE HAVE GROWN UP SEEING, BUT IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON. MIXED USE ON PROPERTIES TODAY WHERE YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL WITH THE BUSINESSES AS WELL. THAT IS A TREND THAT WE ARE HEADED IN. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. BEFORE I GO TO MR. MCBURNETT, MISS GOODEN MADE ME THINK OF SOMETHING AND THIS IS A QUESTION FOR MR. ANDERSON. THERE THERE IS A A PRIVATE EASEMENT THAT COMES FROM ACTON ONTO WHEATLAND. IS THAT CORRECT? NO, THAT'S THERE IS NO EASEMENT THAT COMES THROUGH. BUT WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT ONE ON THE PLAT. OKAY. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WHEN WE PLAT WE CAN'T PLAT TILL AFTER WE GET THROUGH HERE. WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO A PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT WHERE NO FUTURE DEVELOPER CAN EVER BLOCK THAT OFF AGAIN. RIGHT NOW, I COULD BLOCK IT OFF AND DO THAT. BUT BUT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO THAT. IT'S ON THE PLAT WE'VE ALREADY PRESENTED. OKAY. SO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROJECT WILL, WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ACCESS THAT THEY'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO, TO BE ABLE TO GET ONTO WHEATLAND OR TO COME INTO THE SHOPPING CENTER. THEY'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THE LEGAL ACCESS FOREVER. THE DEVELOPER THAT OWNS THIS PAST ME OR WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT AWAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MCBURNETT. SIMPLE. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. OKAY. MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN CHERRY BROWN.

PLEASE VOTE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CONSIDER. OKAY. ITEM EIGHT G. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE

[8.G. Consider an ordinance repealing and replacing Section 16A-39, “Murals,” of Ordinance No. 1909, § 1, 10-5-04, to remove restrictions on branded content and business identification in murals ]

[02:50:02]

[8.H. Consider a resolution approving a mural at Xela Bistro, 1117 S. Main Street, Duncanville, TX 75137.]

OH, WE ALREADY HAD A MOTION. IN A SECOND I APOLOGIZE. PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL

[9.A. Briefing on an economic development incentive agreement between the Duncanville Community and Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) and JCTF Real Estate, LLC for the redevelopment, beautification and business expansion of Texas Fadez Barber Academy & Midas Touch Retail Supply Store located at 1014 S. Main Street. ]

[02:55:03]

PREVIOUSLY IN THIS ITEM, TONIGHT'S AGENDA. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. SO OVER 500 STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE ACADEMY SINCE 2019, AND THE MAKEUP IS APPROXIMATELY 75% OF DUNCANVILLE STUDENTS, WHICH IS FROM HAVING GRADUATED FROM VILLAGE TEC OR DUNCANVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. OVER 20 STUDENTS HAVE GONE ON TO OPEN THEIR OWN BARBER SHOPS, AND TWO OF THOSE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE CITY LIMITS. TEXAS FADES IS ALSO A CERTIFIED TEXAS WORKFORCE VENDOR FOR THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM, WHICH IS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS INDIVIDUALS. THEIR COMMUNITY IMPACT. SO THE ACADEMY HOSTS MULTIPLE FREE BACKPACK AND HAIRCUT EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR LOCAL STUDENTS, IN ADDITION TO EVENTS FOR YOUTH WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MR. TREJO IS DELIBERATE ABOUT TEACHING THE STUDENTS AND HOW TO WORK WITH THE SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION AND TRAINING THEM, PREPARING THEM FOR THE FUTURE.

SO THE PROJECT OVERVIEW AGAIN, THIS IS A BUSINESS EXPANSION PROJECT. AND JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION OR BACKGROUND AS STAFF. WHEN WE WERE ORIGINALLY PRESENTED THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DID QUESTION MR. TREJO ABOUT HIS INTENTIONS. AND IT WAS VERY CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING THAT HE'S LOOKING TO REVITALIZE THIS BUILDING, WHICH IS CURRENTLY VACANT, IN ADDITION TO HOPEFULLY SPURRING ADDITIONAL REDEVELOPMENT IN THIS VERY VISIBLE MAIN STREET THOROUGHFARE AREA, HOPEFULLY ENCOURAGING ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES IN THE AREA TO FOLLOW SUIT. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN AS THERE HAD BEEN ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS PREVIOUSLY ABOUT TRYING TO ESTABLISH A REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE WITH FOR SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ADDING IN THE RETAIL ASPECT OF IT, WHICH WE LATER LEARNED WAS ALREADY HAPPENING IN THE BACK OF HIS CURRENT TEXAS FADES BARBER SHOP LOCATION. SO THE THE CURRENT PROPERTY OR THE SORRY, THE PROPERTY THAT HE IS LOOKING TO ACQUIRE IS 1014 SOUTH MAIN STREET. IT IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND HE'S LOOKING TO REESTABLISH THAT PROPERTY AS AN ATTRACTIVE ACTIVE BUSINESS. THE ACQUISITION COST IS 380,000.

TOGETHER WITH THE DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION COST AT ANOTHER 380,000, WHICH EQUALS A TOTAL PROJECT COST OF $760,000. I WILL MENTION INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR THIS ITEM TONIGHT, BUT IT WAS NOT IN THE SLIDES IS THE PUBLIC PRIVATE STACK. I KNOW WE HAD SOME INQUIRIES IN THE PAST ABOUT WHAT THE OWNER IS BRINGING TO THE TABLE. SO JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, THE OWNER'S PERSONAL INVESTMENT IS $160,000. THIS IS AGAIN FROM HIS PERSONAL FUNDS. IN ADDITION TO THE DEBT, THE BUSINESS LOAN THAT HE IS TAKING OUT TO ACQUIRE THIS PROPERTY AT $400,000. SO IN TOTAL, THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT IS 73%, 73.68%. IT'S WITH THE 160,000 IN THE 400,000. THAT'S $560,000 THAT HE IS TAKING ON TO ACQUIRE AND REVITALIZE THIS PROPERTY. AND THE DC EDC GRANT REQUEST IS AT 200,000, WHICH MAKES UP 23% OF THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT. SO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WITH JC REAL ESTATE LLC, TOTALING $200,000, WAS APPROVED BY THE DC EDC WITH SOME REVISIONS THAT THEY HAD SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT THEY WANTED TO ADD TO THE AGREEMENT, AND IT WAS PASSED ON MARCH 23RD, 2026. SO THIS IS THE SITE MAP OF, AGAIN, THE PROPOSED BUSINESS EXPANSION AT 1014

[03:00:08]

[03:05:02]

SO I WANT TO GIVE THAT THAT I GUESS THOSE EVENTS TO DUNCANVILLE AND HAVE THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER. BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S NOT IT'S NOT JUST A SCHOOL, IT'S THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER TO MAKE SOMETHING GREAT FOR US. SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TOO. I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR THAT COMMENT. WE ARE SEEING AN EVER GROWING NUMBER OF YOUNG BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE COMING INTO DUNCANVILLE, AND THEY SHARE THE SAME COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU SHARE. AND I THINK THAT'S OUR FUTURE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE IS TO HAVE BUSINESSES THAT APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY'RE HERE AND THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT THEM, AND WHETHER THEY COME THERE TO GET THEIR HAIRCUT OR NOT. YOU'RE PROVIDING COMMUNITY SERVICE TO ANYBODY THAT MIGHT WANT TO STOP BY WHEN YOU'RE HAVING ONE OF YOUR EVENTS, AND TO REACH OUT AND SUPPORT A CAUSE THROUGH YOUR BUSINESS. AS WIDESPREAD AS AUTISM IS, YOU'RE TO BE COMMENDED FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING. I APPRECIATE YOU.

THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? I GOT THE QUESTION OF WHEN WE'RE BRINGING THIS ITEM FORWARD FOR ACTION. I BELIEVE APRIL 21ST IS OUR PLAN. WE JUST WANTED TO BRIEF YOU ALL TONIGHT AND GIVE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL TO ANSWER. ASK QUESTIONS. SURE THING. OKAY. WE'RE ALL DONE HERE. THANK YOU MARCELLA. ALL RIGHT. LAST ITEM, WHICH IS AN ITEM THAT WE MOVED FROM A BRIEFING. PRESENTATION THREE A THANK YOU, MR. JACKSON, FOR

[3.A.Briefing on General Fund Balance and Fund Balance Policy ]

[03:10:01]

[03:15:02]

THAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE NEXT MEETING ON THE 21ST. SO WITH THAT, THAT IS MY BRIEFING PRESENTATION FOR THIS EVENING. CERTAINLY, I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME. GOOD. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. JACKSON, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. YES, MA'AM.

I'LL START WITH THE CITY HALL AND THE OLD PD ASSESSMENT THAT WAS DONE. I KNOW I LEFT MY ALL OF MY DOCUMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, I NORMALLY HAVE MY STUFF, BUT I BELIEVE THE DATE ON THE REPORT THAT WE RECEIVED WAS AUGUST OF 2025. SO THEREFORE, IT HAPPENED EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND IS JUST WAS GIVEN TO US LATER. SO MY QUESTION IS FUNDING WASN'T IDENTIFIED FOR IT. WHEN WE DISCUSSED DOING THE OLD PD, AM I REFERRING TO THE CORRECT ASSESSMENTS OR IS THIS ADDITIONAL? NO, NO MA'AM. THIS WAS IN REFERENCE TO OUR DISCUSSION LAST WEEK. IN TERMS OF GETTING AN UPDATED ASSESSMENT OF CITY HALL, IN LIGHT OF OUR DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING ON THE NEW POLICE FACILITY. SO THIS IS THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON CITY HALL. GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. YES. THIS IS LAST WEEK ABOUT THE KIMLEY-HORN DOING THE AMENDMENT.

THEY WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE ASSISTANCE WITH GRANTS. IT THAT THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WHAT THIS IS RICHARD. BUT WE DID FIND FUNDING. Y'ALL ASKED US TO TRY TO MOVE THAT THING AS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE DID FIND SOME FUNDING IN THE INTERIM. HOWEVER, WE WOULD STILL PROPOSE ROLLING IT INTO A ONE TIME FUND COST. BUT JUST IN THE ESSENCE OF TIME, WE DID. WE DID FIND SOME SOME SAVINGS IN ANOTHER FUND TO TO DO THAT NOW SO WE COULD GET GOING. THAT WAS BASED ON THE DIRECTION WE GOT FROM COUNCIL. OKAY, SO THE ASSESSMENT THAT WAS DONE UNDER THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER, THIS THIS IS THE KIMLEY-HORN. BECAUSE REMEMBER WE WE WERE GOING TO DO AN ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT TO REALLY GO LOOK AT THE CITY HALL. THE OTHER ISSUES WITH TRYING TO.

FOR THE PD AS WELL AS THE GRANT ASSISTANCE. SO I THINK IT'S JUST A WORDING ISSUE RIGHT THERE. SO I'LL CALL YOU LATER ABOUT THAT. OKAY. WHY IS WHY IS IT NECESSARY THAT WE DO. I'M SORRY. I WAS JUST GOING TO I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD. SO I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE HEWITT STUDY THAT WAS DONE. YES. YES, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. AND THAT WAS KIND OF LOOKING MORE AT OUR OUR FACILITY OVERALL FROM LIKE ROOFING AND HVAC SYSTEMS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. WHEREAS THIS IS REALLY LOOKING MORE AT LIKE A REMODELING TYPE EXERCISE. THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT. YES, MA'AM. THAT'S WHAT I NEED. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION, MARK. WHY IS IT NECESSARY THAT WE ADD THE WORDING FOR IT TO BE POST AUDIT COMPLETION? BECAUSE YOU ALREADY BRING US THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO APPROVE. WHY IS THIS NECESSARY TO DO NOW? WE MISS GOODEN. WE WERE JUST LOOKING SO THAT WE FORMERLY HAD IN PLACE THAT ANYTHING THAT WAS OVER AND ABOVE THAT 150 DAY, IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE A PART OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT RECOMMENDATION TO BE TRANSFERRED TO ONE TIME FUNDS IS TO ME, IT'S JUST KIND OF CLOSES THE LOOP, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE THE POLICY SAYS THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING ABOVE 150 DAYS. SO SO THAT WAY IT SPEAKS TO THE SCENARIO OF WHAT HAPPENS LIKE NOW IN, IN THE EVENT THAT WE DO HAVE A BALANCE OF ABOVE THAT, IT JUST SAYS THAT, HEY, WE, WE WILL BE

[03:20:04]

CONSIDERING, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO USE SOME OF IT FOR THE NEEDS FOR THE NEW POLICE FACILITY, WHATEVER THOSE NEEDS MAY BE? MY CONCERN IS IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS AND THAT WOULD BE A COUNCIL'S DECISION, GO FORWARD WITH AMENDING SOMETHING THAT I JUST DON'T REALLY FEEL IS NECESSARY. BUT IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, THEN WHEN WE HAVE OTHER SPECIAL PROJECTS AND WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED THE FUND BALANCE, OVER 150 DAYS BE USED AND EARMARKED FOR SOMETHING ELSE, THEN WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE EXPENDITURE THAT WE HAVE ON HAND AT THAT TIME, OR THE NEED THAT WE HAVE ON TIME, HAVE ON HAND AT THAT TIME THAT WE CAN ADDRESS? BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY SAID THAT BY THE END OF THE AUDIT, WE WOULD BE IDENTIFYING HOW WE USE IT. YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND CERTAINLY. CERTAINLY DO RECALL THE THE, THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD LAST WEEK. AND AGAIN, THE, THE, THE ITEMS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED ARE THINGS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PRESENT TO THIS COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION TO BE ABLE TO USE THE MONIES FOR THOSE PURPOSES. AND SO IT'S NOT TO TAKE AWAY IN TERMS OF ANY OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT WERE MADE DURING THAT THAT MEETING LAST WEEK. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, TRANSPARENTLY, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO, TO BRING UP THE ADDITIONAL NEEDS FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS WELL. AND SO JUST IN MY ROLE HERE FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COUNCIL IS AWARE NOT ONLY OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE CERTAINLY HAD LAST WEEK FOR POLICE, BUT THAT THERE ARE SOME OTHER NEEDS THAT THAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO IDENTIFY FUNDS FOR AND THE TIMING FOR IT AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP THE MOST IMMEDIATELY, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE. SO TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL IN TERMS OF THE NEEDS OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND AS WELL. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, AND MR. MCBURNETT, YOU'RE NEXT. SORRY. JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE MONEY THAT THAT ROLLS OVER BECAUSE IT CAN'T WE CAN'T EXCEED 150 DAYS. IT ROLLS OVER INTO A FUND. SO. SO IT RIGHT NOW, MAYOR, EVERYTHING IS REMAINING IN GENERAL FUND. OKAY. AND SO PER THE POLICY, IT WAS JUST A RECOMMENDATION THAT SAYS THAT WE WOULD NOT MAINTAIN AN UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE ABOVE THE 150 DAYS. AND SO AGAIN, JUST AS PART OF THAT RECOMMENDATION, SINCE WE'RE IN EXCESS OF THAT, THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION TO TRANSFER THAT PORTION TO ONE TIME PROJECT FOR OTHER NEEDS. AND SO AGAIN, THOSE THINGS WOULD AGAIN, ALWAYS HAVE TO BE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED WITH THE WITH THE COUNCIL AS PART OF DOES IT HAVE TO ROLL OVER TO. WHEN IT ROLLS OVER, DOES IT HAVE TO ROLL OVER TO AN ALREADY IDENTIFIED NEED? OR DOES IT GO INTO A FUND THAT.

FROM THAT FUND, YOU CAN DECIDE. WE CAN DECIDE WHAT NEED MIGHT FIT THE BEST FOR THAT MONEY.

CORRECT. SO. SO IT DOES NOT HAVE TO, TO BE IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED IN TERMS OF WHAT THE NEED IS. NOW, HAVING SAID THAT, OF COURSE, WHETHER IT'S CITY, CITY ADMINISTRATION AND CERTAINLY WHAT COMES INTO MY DESK AND CERTAINLY MISS ODIE'S DESK FROM THE BUDGET SIDE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A PRETTY LENGTHY LIST OF THINGS THAT HAVE COME IN FROM REQUESTS FOR THE DEPARTMENTS AND CERTAINLY THE PRICE TAGS THAT COME ALONG WITH THAT AS WELL. MR. MCBURNETT THANK YOU, MAYOR. THAT WAS ONE. ACTUALLY, ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS AS WELL TOO. MR. JACKSON, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT. IT'D BE HELPFUL

[03:25:01]

AND SO WHAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT INTERNALLY WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO OBTAIN SOME QUOTES AS WELL AS SEEING WHAT'S AVAILABLE ON THE COOPERATIVES THAT THE CITY PARTICIPATES IN AS WELL. YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO NOTE THAT, YEAH, TALKING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE ONE THING TO OUR ADVANTAGE IS WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY BRAND SPECIFIC ON WHAT QUINT WE WOULD GET. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF CITIES SPECIFICALLY GO AFTER A PEARSON OR ANOTHER BRAND, BUT WE'RE REALLY NOT BRAND SPECIFIC, WHICH WILL REALLY HELP US SHOP AND GET THE BEST DEAL. ANOTHER THING, JUST AS A REMINDER, IF YOU RECALL, WE DID ATTEMPT TO GET A GRANT TO REPLACE THE QUINN. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT GET APPROVED FOR THAT. SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO. WE KNOW IT'S A CRITICAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND SO THIS WAS A VEHICLE WE BELIEVE TO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. BUT AGAIN, NOT BEING BRAND SPECIFIC WILL HELP US REALLY SHOP AND GET THE BEST PRICE WE CAN AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT ON IT THAT WE NEED. OKAY. AND, AND SO WE SAID WE HAVE 4 MILLION THAT SAYS IMMEDIATE USE 2 MILLION. THE OTHER 2 MILLION IS JUST IN A. YEAH. SO WE, AT THE TIME OF PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, WE, WE WANTED TO SAY THAT. WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE AT LEAST 2 MILLION, IF NOT MORE, IN TERMS OF WHAT WE HAD THERE SINCE THEN. AGAIN, I KNOW THERE'S SOME MORE SPECIFICS THAT WE PLAN TO DISCUSS WITH THIS BODY ON THE 21ST SO THAT THAT THAT NUMBER, IT'S THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS WILL BE HIGHER. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE, THE, THE TOTAL EXPECTED COST WOULD BE HIGHER AS WELL. YEAH.

NO THANK YOU. BECAUSE WHEN WE HAD OUR BOND MEETING AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, THERE'S ALWAYS ALL THIS STUFF. IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WHAT ARE WE GIVING UP? WHAT? YOU KNOW, WE'RE SQUEEZING THIS IN. WHAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THIS END? AND, AND AGAIN, WE HAVE PRICE TAGS AND IT'S HELPFUL BECAUSE WE TRY TO GET AS MUCH OF THE BUFFET AS WE CAN. OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN. YES, SIR.

MR. KOONTZ. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO ON THE 21ST, WE'LL HAVE SOME ACTION TO TAKE ON AMENDING AMENDING THE BUDGET. CORRECT. AND SO AT THIS POINT, I MEAN, ON ON THE 21ST WE'LL HAVE OPTIONS. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PICK FROM THOSE OPTIONS. OR THERE'S GOING TO BE 1 OR 2 OF THESE. I MEAN IS THERE GOING TO BE A VERY SPECIFIC. SO. SO, MR. KOONTZ, ON THE 21ST, IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL, IT WILL COVER ALL FUNDS. SO DISCUSS ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL FUND, FOR EXAMPLE, AMENDMENT TO THE ONE TIME PROJECT, BECAUSE WE'RE REQUESTING THAT $4.1 MILLION BE TRANSFERRED FROM GENERAL FUND TO THE ONE TIME PROJECT FUND. AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE GOING TO BE REQUESTING THE APPROPRIATION OF THE $4.1 MILLION AS ALL ALL, I GUESS, ALL ENCOMPASSING AS PART OF THAT RESOLUTION SO THAT WE CAN COME BACK. SO WHETHER IT'S THE QUINT, THESE OTHER THINGS, MOST OF THESE THINGS ARE IN EXCESS OF $100,000, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE US TO SUBMIT AN INDIVIDUAL RESOLUTION THAT APPROPRIATE, EXCUSE ME, AUTHORIZES EXPENDITURE FOR IT.

SO IN TERMS OF THE 21ST, IT'S PRESENTING LIKE ANYTHING AMENDMENT WISE FROM WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN THE BUDGET. AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE $4.1 MILLION TRANSFER THAT WE'RE REQUESTING TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM GENERAL FUND WOULD BE AN AMENDMENT, BUT THEN ALSO APPROPRIATING THOSE DOLLARS IN THE ONE TIME PROJECT FUND SO THAT WE CAN USE IT FOR SOME OF THESE PURPOSES THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY. AND AGAIN, AND WE'RE WE'RE ALREADY PREPARING FOR THE 21ST. SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS OUTSIDE OF THE FOUR THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW THAT WE PLAN TO DISCUSS. OKAY. I GUESS THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT HELPS. YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AVOID A SITUATION WHERE

[03:30:03]

IS THAT DISCUSSED AMONGST THE EXECUTIVE STAFF? IS THAT DETERMINED BY THE CITY MANAGER AND THE FINANCE DIRECTOR? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? OKAY. AND WHAT IS DETERMINED. SO THAT WAY WE ARE EDUCATED ON WHAT WE'RE DOING. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS FOR THIS EVENING. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL STAND ADJOURNED AT 9:45 P.M.
