I JUST WANT TO SAY, FIRST, IT'S AN HONOR TO STAND BEFORE YOU AND READ THIS, THIS PROCLAMATION. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO RECOGNIZE NATIONAL POLICE WEEK BEFORE I READ. IF I CAN JUST SAY A FEW THINGS, I CONSIDER IT NOT LUCKY, BUT A BLESSING TO HAVE A CITY COUNCIL THAT ACTUALLY SUPPORTS OUR MISSION AND STANDS BEHIND ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT THESE MEN AND WOMEN DO FOR THIS CITY EACH AND EVERY DAY. I NEVER ASK ANYBODY TO THANK ME FOR THE JOB THAT I DO, BUT I'M NOT TOO ASHAMED TO ASK FOR MY GUYS. SO I ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC. YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET A CHANCE, SAY SOMETHING NICE TO THE OFFICERS, THANK THEM. THEY'RE HUMAN. THEY'RE PEOPLE TOO. THEY HAVE PROBLEMS JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. BUT THEY HAVE TO PUT THAT ASIDE. EVERY DAY THEY COME TO WORK AND DO A JOB FOR THE CITY. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID. FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR PROCLAMATION.

AND SO I REACHED OUT TO ICM ABERNATHY AFTERWARD JUST TO ASK WHAT EXACTLY WAS GOING ON, BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND PEOPLE WERE ASKING QUESTIONS. AND SO MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION WAS THAT THERE WAS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAD MULTIPLE WARRANTS, AND THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS RESISTING ARREST, AND THAT THE SITUATION WAS ACTUALLY ESCALATING SOUNDED LIKE RATHER QUICKLY. AND OF COURSE, POLICE RESPONDED. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT ESCALATED RATHER QUICKLY AS A RESULT OF THE WORK THAT THEY DID. THERE WAS NO THREAT TO ANY PUBLIC SAFETY, AS IT WERE, THE RESULT OF WHAT THEY WERE DOING. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO SAY TO OFFICER BYRD AND ALL OF OUR OFFICERS THAT THE SUPPORT THAT WE CAN OFFER IS THE LEAST THAT WE CAN DO. AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING, BECAUSE THESE KINDS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING ALL THE TIME.

[01:15:15]

FOSTER A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP. PROMOTE EQUITABLE OUTCOME IN ALL INITIATIVES.

CHAMPION THE INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION, AND INFLUENCE SUSTAINABLE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES. SO I TALKED A LITTLE BIT OF OUR HISTORY BACK IN THE 1950S 60S, BUT MORE RECENT, OUR MOST RECENT EFFORTS ARE PARKING FIRM IN THE CITY OF DALLAS, AND CURRENTLY WE'RE WRITING CITY ORDINANCES AS WELL FOR THE CITY OF DALLAS. SO WE WE WOULD LOVE TO BRING THAT EXPERIENCE THAT THAT THAT PLATFORM AND MERGE IT WITH THE ENERGY IN SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY. IF YOU HAVE US. OUR CURRENT REGION INCLUDES ALL THE WAY FROM GRAYSON COUNTY TO ELLIS COUNTY. AND WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT WE WE TRY TO ENGAGE WITH BOTH PRIVATE SECTOR AND PUBLIC SECTOR AND THE RESIDENTS AND, AND WE GIVE THEM A PLATFORM WHERE THEY CAN ENGAGE, CREATE, IMPACT, COLLABORATE. AND IF THEY'RE REALLY DRIVEN, ADVOCATE WITH US.

SO ADVOCATE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS WRITING AN OP ED. SOME OF OUR MEMBERS IN THE NORTH COMMITTEE RECENTLY WROTE AN OP ED, AND IT TALKED ABOUT BUILDING COMMUNITY AS THE REGION EVOLVES. AND WE WOULD OFFER THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY TO OUR MEMBERS FOR THEIR GDP SOUTH COMMITTEE. I WON'T GET INTO INTO THE WEEDS OF OUR MEMBERSHIP. I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT WE'RE FULL OF PASSIONATE PROFESSIONALS, BUT THOSE ARE MEMBERS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, REAL ESTATE EXPERTS, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND MUNICIPAL STAFF, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION LEADERS, ARCHITECTS, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS, ENGINEERS AND PLANNERS. AND OUR FOCUS AREAS VARY AS WELL, FROM EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING STRATEGIES IS OUR MAIN FOCUS.

WE'RE ALSO ABOUT TO HYPER FOCUS ON WATER WATER PREPAREDNESS. IT'S A CRITICAL EMERGENCY IN OUR REGION. WE DON'T HAVE WATER, WE DON'T HAVE GROWTH. AND HOW ARE WE TACKLING THAT AS A REGION? SO IF ANY OF YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED, WE WE CAN OFFER THAT, THAT, THAT SEGUE TO, TO ENGAGE IN THAT ISSUE, ENERGY POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK. STRUCTURALLY, HOW WE ARE WE'VE GOT SEVERAL TEAMS WE JUST KICKED OFF ON FEBRUARY 20TH, OUR JDBC SOUTH COMMITTEE, WHICH BOTH MAYOR CONTRERAS AND INTERIM CITY MANAGER ABERNATHY ARE PART OF. AND THEN LAST YEAR, WE KICKED OFF OUR JDBC NORTH COMMITTEE THAT'S BEING LED BY JOHN LOEFFLER, WHO'S A PLANNING DIRECTOR FOR FRISCO. AND THEN WE'VE GOT OUR HOUSING COMMITTEE HYPER FOCUSED ON ON CREATING AFFORDABLE, ATTAINABLE HOUSING MOBILITY, TASK FORCE, URBAN DESIGN, TASK FORCE, NATURAL RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. SO IF ANY OF YOU ALL OR YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN GDPC, YOU WOULD BE INVOLVED IN ONE OF OUR TASK FORCES. WE'VE GOT SIGNATURE EVENTS. WHAT WE PRIDE OURSELVES AS WELL IS EDUCATION. WE BRING IN QUALITY LEADERS TO EDUCATE OUR MEMBERSHIP, BUT ALSO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. LAST MONTH, TWO MONTHS AGO, WE HAD WE WE HOSTED THE CEO OF THE MAVERICKS, WHO OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THERE'S A CONTENTIOUS ISSUE UP IN DALLAS WHERE CITY HALL. SO THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS WAS THERE AND. AND THEY WERE LEARNING FROM THAT ISSUE AT OUR EVENT. SO WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN BRINGING THE THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES TO EDUCATE OUR THE PUBLIC. AND THEN WE'VE GOT OUR ANNUAL MEETING THAT'S COMING UP ON JUNE 19TH. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. AND LASTLY, OUR TRINITY URBAN DESIGN AWARDS, WHERE WE CELEBRATE LEGACY IN OUR REGION FROM FROM NORTH TO

[01:20:05]

WE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE'S MOMENTUM. THERE'S AN ENERGY IN OUR REGION TO, TO, TO GROW, TO BECOME BETTER. AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE REACHED OUT TO DOCTOR SEABROOKS, WHO LEADS THE CEDAR VALLEY COLLEGE AS PART OF THE DALLAS COLLEGE, AND HE ACCEPTED OF BEING THE CHAIR OF OUR COMMITTEE. HE DECIDED THAT HE WOULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT KENNETH GOVAN, WHO'S A VICE CHAIR, WHO'S OUR VICE CHAIR. AND THEY ARE NOW BOTH BUILDING A GREAT FOUNDATION FOR THE GDP SOUTH COMMITTEE. AND OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS TO ONLY BE OF SUPPORT, TO BE A PLATFORM TO UTILIZE OUR EXPERIENCE AS A REGIONAL ORGANIZATION AND SUPPORT WHAT IS BEING ALREADY DONE HERE. SO THAT THAT IS CRITICAL WHY WE'RE HAVING MEETINGS WITH THE BEST OF THIS PARTNERSHIP, WHICH I KNOW DUNCANVILLE IS PART OF AND, AND JUST HELPING, ASSISTING. HOW CAN WE CONTINUE THE MOMENTUM? HOW CAN WE USE OUR NETWORK, OUR REGIONAL NETWORK, TO CREATE A BETTER REGION FOR ALL? BECAUSE WE DO BELIEVE WE'RE ONE REGION AND WE ASK HIM TO CREATE THEIR OWN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. I'M NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH ALL OF THIS BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S TIME SENSITIVE, BUT OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL IS TO COLLABORATE, TO BRING ALL THE PARTIES, SUBURBS, CITIES, PART PLATFORMS, ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER AND, AND SPARK CONVERSATION AND THEN IDENTIFY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. AND WE'VE SUCCESSFULLY I'M VERY PROUD THAT IN TWO MONTHS, WE'VE WE'VE STARTED THE PROCESS. SO WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO CREATE TWO TEAMS ALREADY. AND THAT'S. TALK ABOUT ENERGY WITHIN TWO MONTHS. THE FIRST ONE IS THE GRANTS TEAM, WHICH IS BEING LED BY MAYOR MASON FROM CEDAR HILL AND JUST HAD A MEETING WITH HIM TODAY.

OUR GOAL IS TO SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION ON FRIDAY. SO THERE'S MOMENTUM. I I'M LIVING IT DAILY. AND THEN LASTLY IS HOW CAN WE HELP SHARE THAT THE THE SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY IS AN ECONOMIC ENGINE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE. IT'S NOT ABOUT TO BE. IT HAS BEEN AND IT'S BEEN FROM THE VERY FROM THE PAST. SO WE'VE CREATED A MARKETING TEAM TO IDENTIFY HOW CAN WE USE GDP PLATFORM. WE'VE GOT A NEWSLETTER OF ABOUT 8000 SUBSCRIBERS. AND OUR GOAL IS TO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SHARE THAT CONSISTENT MESSAGE. THE SOUTHERN DALLAS COUNTY IS AN ECONOMIC ENGINE. THERE'S OPPORTUNITY HERE. COME GET IT. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK FOR MYSELF. JUST A COMMENT. IN MY SHORT INVOLVEMENT WITH THIS ORGANIZATION, I CAN SAFELY TELL ALL THE FOLKS THAT LIVE DOWN THIS WAY AND PEOPLE IN THIS AUDIENCE, IF YOU THOUGHT THE BEST SOUTHWEST WAS A GREAT VOICE FOR FOR THIS AREA, THIS IS WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BEST SOUTHWEST, NOT TO OVERSHADOW THAT. THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES I'VE EVER SEEN TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD FROM COUNTY LOCAL ALL THE WAY TO AUSTIN, TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF OUR NEEDS DOWN HERE AND WHAT WE DESERVE TO HAVE THAT WE'VE BEEN LEFT OUT OF FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT THIS GENTLEMAN LIKE THIS, THAT PUT THIS COMMITTEE TOGETHER OR PUT THIS ORGANIZATION TOGETHER AND FOCUSED ON SOUTHWEST DALLAS COUNTY, IT'S A FIRST, AND I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S GOING TO BRING AMAZING THINGS TO OUR AREA. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU KNOW, COUNCIL, AS YOU KNOW, WE I'VE BEEN PROVIDING UPDATES ON, ON THIS INITIATIVE AND, AND THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, BUT I REALLY THOUGHT IT'D BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR HIM TO COME OUT AND JUST KIND OF SHOWCASE WHAT'S GOING ON AND PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION. IT REALLY IS A GREAT EFFORT. AND SO THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND PRESENTING TONIGHT. IT'S A PLEASURE. OKAY. AND WE WE REMAIN COMMITTED. I'LL FINISH WITH THAT.

AT THE CLOSE OF THE BRIEFING IS GIVEN TO CITY COUNCIL DURING THE BOND WORKSHOP HELD MARCH 31ST OF 2026, MISS DALE PROVIDED THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH A NOTEBOOK CONTAINING A PROPOSAL TO CONTRACT FOR AN OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE DESIGN OF A NEW POLICE STATION. NO MENTION WAS MADE AS TO THE AMOUNT OF THAT AGREEMENT. NO VOTE WAS TAKEN TO ACCEPT THAT AGREEMENT. AN INFORMAL CONSENSUS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS WAS TAKEN, BUT IT WAS NOT CLEAR THAT ALL HAD APPROVED IT. I WAS CURIOUS AS TO HOW MUCH MR. DON WURZBURGER, AS THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE, WOULD BE PAID AS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT. I SUBMITTED A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST, PRR-2026-286, FOR THE DOCUMENT, WHICH WAS RECEIVED APRIL 24TH OF 2026. MR. WURZBURGER WILL CHARGE THE CITY $200 PER HOUR FOR 240 HOURS OF WORK FOR PHASE ONE OF THE DESIGN, IF HE IS NEEDED FOR PHASE TWO, AND IT EXTENDS INTO 2027, HIS FEE INCREASES TO $210 PER HOUR FOR AN UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF HOURS. THIS IS DOCUMENTED ON PAGE THREE OF HIS STANDARD LETTER OF AGREEMENT. THE TOTAL NET COST OF A NEW POLICE STATION HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. IN THE INTEREST OF FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY, TRANSPARENCY AND RESPONSIBILITY.

PROPER QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ADDRESSED THIS AND WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED TO MONETARILY MAKE THE NEW POLICE STATION OPERABLE AND INHABITABLE. THIS IS TERMED THE NET NET COST. MR. ERZBERGER'S CONTRACT NOW ADDS TO THAT AMOUNT NOT LESS THAN $48,000. THE CITY COUNCIL MAY WANT TO CONSIDER DISCUSSING FROM WHAT ACCOUNT HE WOULD BE PAID AND FROM WHERE THOSE MONIES NOW RESIDE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND FOR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. TY FANG LIU. FOR 34 BLUE RIDGE DRIVE, DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS, 75137. I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF USA, OKAY, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HERE ALMOST HALF A CENTURY. BY 2029 AND THE CHINA GOING TO TAKE OVER TAIWAN IN 27, THAT'S XI JINPING PROMISE HIS PEOPLE. AND IF HE WILL BECOME TRUE. NOW THEY HAVE THREE WORDS FORBIDDEN TO SAY TAIWAN, TIBET AND TIANANMEN SQUARE. YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW CHINESE PEOPLE WENT THROUGH TIANANMEN SQUARE.

HAPPENED ON JUNE 4TH, 1989. THE MAO ZEDONG LED TO THE A TANKER RUN OVER BRILLIANT COLLEGE STUDENTS. IT'S INHUMAN OPERATION. SO ALL THE PEOPLE CAME BEFORE THAT DAY. GET A GREEN CARD. GRANTED, BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY TO STUDY IN USA, THE GRADUATE LEVEL UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY OR ESPECIALLY HUMAN TRAFFICKING ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN BEFORE DONALD TRUMP.

BEYOND DONALD TRUMP'S GOING ON, IT'S A CONTROL. IT'S BEEN GOING ON. SO WE NEED TO WAKE UP, HAVE THE MORALITY, INTEGRITY AND THE RIGHTEOUS WORK ETHIC. DON'T ALLOW POLICE OR WHOEVER EMPLOYEE MALFUNCTION, VIOLATE RIGHTEOUS WORK ETHIC JUST FOR REVENGE. OKAY? MORALITY IS WHAT COUNT THAT I WANT TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN. AND ALSO THE EDUCATION IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE COUNTRY. DO NOT ALLOW SUPERINTENDENT TO PUT MONEY IN THEIR POCKET AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUNGER GENERATION. BECAUSE CHINA IS GETTING STRONGER DAY BY DAY.

[8.B. Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 1215 to rename a public street, namely Shady Trail Drive, from its intersection with South Main Street to the point of intersection with Bob Lee Boulevard, to Bill Willborn Drive.]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MATT BRYANT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS HERE, BRINGING THIS ITEM TONIGHT. SO WE'RE LOOKING TO RENAME SHADY TRAIL DRIVE INTO BILL WILBURN DRIVE TO HONOR SOMEBODY THAT WE HIGHLY RESPECT AND LOOK UP TO. HE'S INSTRUMENTAL IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. THIS. THE LIMITS OF THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE FROM SOUTH MAIN STREET TO BOB LEE BOULEVARD. ISN'T THAT THE COOLEST PICTURE YOU'VE EVER SEEN? I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. I MEAN, WHO CLIMBS A WATER TOWER IN A SUIT AND TIE? ONLY THIS MAN BACK HERE. SO, SO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HE DOES, LIKE I SAID, EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR OPERATIONS, EVEN SOME OF THE CREW LEADERS THAT ARE HERE BEHIND ME TONIGHT, THEY'RE STILL DOING AN OPERATING IN WAYS THAT HE TAUGHT JOEL, IN WAYS THAT I LEARNED FROM JOEL AND WAYS THAT JOEL LEARNED FROM HIM. A LOT OF THE STANDARD OPERATIONS, THE BEST PRACTICES, THE RESILIENCY OF OUR SYSTEMS, THE REDUNDANCY THAT'S IN PLACE. EITHER HE WAS AT THE HELM OR HE WAS AT THE TABLE SAYING, WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS FAILS? AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT RUPTURES? AND HOW DO WE REDIRECT THIS AND HOW DO WE JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WAY HE OPERATED AND THOUGHT IS WHY WE ARE SUCCESSFUL TODAY.

WE WERE ACTUALLY JUST TALKING IN THE IN THE LOBBY EARLIER ABOUT SOME OF THE, THE MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION THAT HE PUT IN 30 PLUS YEARS AGO AND HOW HE DIDN'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE IT WAS REDUNDANCY. AND I SAID, YEAH, IT'S STILL IN PLACE. AND IT ACTUALLY GOT US THROUGH THE WINTER STORM URI. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO COMMUNITY INPUT, THERE IS ONLY ONE PROPERTY THAT ACTUALLY ABUTS SAGITTAL DRIVE.

WE'VE ALSO EMAILED THE PROPERTY OWNER DIRECTLY, AND WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO CALL THEM, AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM TO GET ANY RESPONSE OUT OF THEM AS OF THIS DATE. SO THE KEY IMPACTS WOULD BE THE THE ONLY IMPACTS WOULD BE THE SERVICE CENTER. THE ADDRESS FOR THE SERVICE CENTER WOULD GO FROM 330 SHADY TRAIL DRIVE TO 330 BILL WILBURN DRIVE. WE WOULD COORDINATE WITH THE US POSTAL OFFICE, OUR UTILITIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. WE WOULD MAKE UPDATES TO OUR MAPPING AND GIS SYSTEMS, AND THEN THERE WOULD BE SOME MINOR PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS WITH JUST GETTING USED TO THE NEW ADDRESS OF THE SERVICE CENTER, WE WOULD WORK CLOSELY WITH COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING TO UPDATE THE ADDRESS FOR THE SERVICE CENTER THROUGHOUT THE WEBSITE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. AND SO NEXT STEPS. THIS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT WILL OPEN IT UP FOR A PUBLIC HEARING, OBVIOUSLY. AND THEN IF YOU APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, THEN WE WILL IT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

WE CAN NOTIFY OUR STAKEHOLDERS, UPDATE OUR SYSTEMS AND SIGNAGE, AND THEN BEGIN UPDATING OUR BUSINESS MATERIALS. AND SO WITH THAT, MAYOR, I WILL ALLOW YOU TO TAKE OVER FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT. IS THAT CORRECT? 7:51 P.M. AND I'VE BEEN BEEN ADVISED BY THE ATTORNEY THAT WE CAN FOREGO THE THE NEXT SECTION, WHICH NORMALLY WOULD BE FOR THOSE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST. OH, NO. OKAY. SHE'S BACKING ME OFF. APOLOGIZE.

EVERY TIME I THOUGHT THAT I NEEDED TO MAKE A CHANGE OR ANYTHING, I JUST KIND OF COME UP AND. AND UNKNOWINGLY I PICKED YOUR BRAIN. AND SO THINGS HAVE WORKED OUT REALLY WELL FOR ME AND I, I LOVE THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE BELONGED TO ME. AND THE WATER SYSTEM WAS MY BABY. AND WHEN I WAS PUT IN CHARGE, I THOUGHT, THIS IS MINE, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE OPERATED. AND, AND SO I SPENT MANY, MANY NIGHTS AND DAYS AFTER HOURS BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO ME. AND IF YOU TAKE THAT OWNERSHIP ON ANY JOB AND IT'S, IT'S NEVER, NEVER A HARD DAY'S WORK, REALLY, YOU CAN LOOK BACK AND SAY, I DID IT. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M STANDING HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS HONOR.

AND I APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. AND THE TIME THAT YOU TAKE TO CONTINUE TO GOVERN THIS CITY. AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, Y'ALL ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB. AND I JUST WANT

[01:45:02]

CONGRATULATIONS. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM C. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING

[8.C. Consider an Ordinance amending the FY 2025-26 Budget]

THE PURPOSE OF BRINGING THIS ITEM TO YOU TONIGHT IS WE HAVE A FEW REQUESTS TO AMEND OUR BUDGET. WE BRING THIS FORTH TO YOU WHEN OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE MAKING CHANGES TO THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR ITEMS THAT WERE NOT PROPOSED IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET. SO THE FIRST REQUEST, AS WE PRESENTED TO YOU LAST COUNCIL MEETING ABOUT THE EXCESS FUND BALANCE, AS OUR POLICY, AS YOU KNOW, IS ANYTHING ABOVE 150 DAYS, WE'D LIKE TO TRANSFER IT TO THE ONE TIME PROJECT FUND TO GET IT OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, TO BE ABLE TO BUDGET FOR FUTURE NEEDS OR CURRENT NEEDS TO USE THOSE ONE TIME FUNDS. SO CURRENTLY IN EXCESS OF FUND BALANCE. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE FY 25 AUDIT COMES TO 4.1 MILLION. AND SO THIS BUDGET REQUEST WILL MOVE THAT FROM GENERAL FUND INTO THE ONE TIME PROJECT FUND. SOME OF THE ONE TIME PROJECT FUNDS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE BUDGET CURRENTLY IS WE'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND PURSUE THE ZONING AND ORDINANCE UPDATE, AS WE HAVE TALKED TO COUNCIL ABOUT THAT PROJECT, TO REWRITE ZONING AND ORDINANCE. AND THEN ALSO, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THROUGH THE POLICE AND COURTS BOND PROGRAM, THE CITY HALL COURT, OLD PD SPACE. SO AT THAT WORKSHOP, WE TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO ADD ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK TO KIMLEY-HORN TO WORK ON CITY HALL AND COURT AND, YOU KNOW, MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THIS SPACE AND WHAT THEY WOULD WHAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND, AS WELL AS GRANT WRITING SERVICES THAT THEY WERE GOING TO USE TO, TO TRY TO APPLY FOR GRANTS FOR THE POLICE STATION. SO IT'S THOSE FUNDS, TRAFFIC EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT. WE HAD AN ACCIDENT LAST YEAR THAT WE HAD TO USE OUR OWN INVENTORY. SO THIS IS REPLACING THAT INVENTORY.

OBVIOUSLY LIVE LIBRARY SOFTWARE THAT'S FOR A PATRON COMMUNITY COMPUTER MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE THAT IT IS WORKING WITH LIBRARY CURRENTLY. SO GETTING THIS DONE NOW WILL SAVE TIME AND RESOURCES LATER ON INSTALLING THAT ON THE LIBRARY SOFTWARE AND ALSO A COMMUNICATIONS AUDIT.

WE'D LIKE TO PURSUE AN AUDIT OF ALL OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS, WHETHER THAT BE SOCIAL MEDIA, WEBSITE NEWSLETTERS, EVERYTHING THAT WE USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC. SO IT WOULD BE AN AUDIT OF WHAT OUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ARE, AND SOME OTHER HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET REQUEST. BUT JUST PUTTING IT INTO YOUR ATTENTION OF HIGH NEEDS IS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A FIRE TRUCK. SO A FIRE QUINT WOULD BE A HIGH NEED AS WELL AS FIRE STATION TWO IMPROVEMENTS. BUT AGAIN, THOSE PARTICULAR ITEMS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AMENDMENT REQUEST AT THIS TIME. JUST SOME OTHER AMENDMENT REQUESTS, SOME OTHER FUNDS. SO WE HAVE A FEW GRANTS. NOW THESE GRANTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE WORKS, SO TO SPEAK, BUT THEY WERE NOT APPROPRIATED IN THE BUDGET. SO THIS IS JUST FORMALLY APPROPRIATING THESE GRANT DOLLARS. SO THERE'S A SAFE STREETS FOR ALL THAT. TOTAL VALUE IS 978,000. BUT THE CITY'S MATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN BUDGETED AND ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR. SO WE'RE JUST BUDGETING FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR. SAME THING WITH THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS GRANT, AND THEN A HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION IMPROVEMENT GRANT. AND THOSE ARE THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS THAT WE WOULD APPROPRIATE IN THE BUDGET FOR IT, AS WELL AS THE REVENUE THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK. AND JUST SOME OTHER FUNDS. THESE ARE SPECIFIC USE FUNDS OR THE FUNDS THAT ARE IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATIONS ARE ONLY FOR SPECIFIC USE. SO THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. SO THAT WOULD BE ON THE SERVICE CENTER. WE TALKED ABOUT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE MONEY THAT WE STILL HAVE AVAILABLE TO GO AHEAD AND INITIATE A DESIGN ASSET FORFEITURE. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS REQUESTED AMENDING THEIR BUDGET FOR ASSET FORFEITURE. OF COURSE, IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR POLICE NEEDS. THE SWAT EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND IS A REPLACEMENT FUND FOR THE SWAT ITEMS AND THEN COURT TECHNOLOGY SECURITY FUND. SO THOSE ARE SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME NEEDS. WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND AMEND THE

[01:50:04]

SO IT'S IT'S AMENDING THE BUDGET ITSELF TO RECOGNIZE THESE COSTS. AND SOME OF THEM, I MEAN, WE'LL BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU IF THEY OF COURSE, EXCEED THAT 100 000 THRESHOLD.

SO I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND. THERE'S NO OTHER. OKAY. A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN KOONTZ TO APPROVE. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[8.D. Consider a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Cenzo's Pizza & Deli, LLC for a development proposal located at 100 E Wheatland Rd.]

[01:55:12]

GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF. MARLON GOUGH, DIRECTOR, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO THIS ITEM IS AGAIN BEFORE YOU. MOST RECENTLY, IT APPEARED ON THE CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ON APRIL 21ST. RIGHT. SO THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT CONVERSATION. I'LL START BY SAYING THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR ENZO'S HOLDING GROUP LLC, FOR WHICH THEY CAN BE WITH US TONIGHT. THEY BOTH GOT STUCK AT THE RESTAURANT, BUT CERTAINLY THEY SEND SEND THEIR BLESSINGS AND EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS SITE. OKAY, SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ON THE MAP, RIGHT? AND EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THIS PROPERTY TO BE THE FORMER DALLAS COUNTY TAX OFFICE OR GOVERNMENT CENTER. BUT FOR, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ORIENTATION, THAT SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF MAIN AND WHEATLAND. OKAY. IF WE WERE LOOKING THIS THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A, A METES AND BOUNDS SURVEY. WE'VE ALSO GOT TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS AND THE TREE MARKINGS ON THIS EXHIBIT, JUST TO SHOW US HOW AND WHAT EXISTS BENEATH THE SURFACE THAT IMPLICATE OR DICTATE THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT ON THIS SITE. OKAY. AND THEN THIS IS THE EXISTING AS BUILT FLOOR PLAN FOR THE TAX OFFICE FROM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY CLOSED AND TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS AND LOCK THE DOORS ON THAT TAX OFFICE, IT STILL LOOKS AS IT DID ON THAT DAY. OKAY, SO THE LETTER OF INTENT LOI, ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHES, IT'S A PUBLIC EXPRESSION OF MUTUAL INTEREST THAT THE PARTIES CAN NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH, RIGHT TOWARDS A FORMAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. RIGHT. WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE ON THIS SITE, AND WE'LL TALK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE THINGS, BUT WE'LL BE BRIEF. BUT ULTIMATELY THERE WE'VE WE'VE STARTED THAT PROCESS. WE'VE ENGAGED WITH THE LOCAL ISD REPRESENTATIVES FROM DUNCANVILLE. AND SO AND WE'VE MET AS AN INTERNAL STAFF TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND AND LINE UP THE PROCESS THAT WE'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW TO FILE A PRELIMINARY PLAT. OKAY. SO KENZO'S IS AN EXISTING BUSINESS IN THE OAK CLIFF SECTION OF DALLAS. THIS IS THE STREET ADDRESS FOR THEIR CURRENT LOCATION, AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IF YOU WERE STANDING AT THAT INTERSECTION OF 12TH STREET AND EXCUSE ME, AT 10TH STREET IN DALLAS, THIS IS AN IMAGE OF THEM, JUST A SNAPSHOT OF, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PRESS THEY'VE RECEIVED OVER THEIR THREE YEARS OF OPERATION. HIGHLY DECORATED RESTAURANT RECOGNIZED IN THE METROPLEX IS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES. OKAY, THIS IS A GEOGRAPHICAL MAP THAT SHOWS WHERE THEIR RESTAURANT AND HOW IT'S ORIENTED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY'RE IN. OAK CLIFF OF NOTE, THERE WITHIN 500FT OF A ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT TO BE IN COMMON WITH THE SITE HERE AT WHEATLAND AND MAIN, OKAY, SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES, RIGHT? SO SIMILAR TO OUR BUILDINGS NEED SOME INVESTMENT AND REIMAGINATION. THAT'S WHAT THEIR BUILDING AND THEIR PROJECT LOOK LIKE. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BEFORE THEY RENOVATED AND OPENED IT TO THE SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANT. RIGHT. SOME MORE IMAGES OF AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH BOTH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THAT HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS TWO OF THE SCHOOLS THERE, SUNSET HIGH SCHOOL AND THE KESTLER SCHOOL. WE'RE HOPING TO LEVERAGE THAT PARTNERSHIP AND WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND ABOUT COMMUNITY, POTENTIALLY WITH THIS SITE HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. OKAY. AND SO WITH THAT, THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL SPACE PLAN, RIGHT, OF HOW THEY WOULD REDESIGN THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT OF THAT BUILDING INTO WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO AS KENZO'S. DUNCANVILLE GOT KENZO'S OAK CLIFF. THIS IS THE PROPOSED CONCEPT FOR THIS EXPANDED BUSINESS ATTRACTION PROJECT, RIGHT? SO INCLUDE A COUPLE OF ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY REALLY BIG AMENITY FOR THEIR RESTAURANT IS THE, YOU KNOW, THE GRASS FENCED IN AREA FOR, FOR KIDS TO PLAY WHILE THEY'RE DINING. HERE'S SOME CONCEPTS BECAUSE OF THE FOOTPRINT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR SITE THAT THEY LOOK TO INCORPORATE. LASTLY, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE STARTED BY SHOWING HOW THE BUILDING SITS ON THAT LARGER TWO ACRE PARCEL. WE BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES DOWN THE ROAD FOR FUTURE PHASE DEVELOPMENT BEYOND THIS FIRST PHASE SITE WITH THE EXISTING TAX OFFICE. AND SO THIS CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN KIND OF REPRESENTS THAT ILLUSTRATIVE OF HOW WE MIGHT REPLAT THE SITE.

SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, PARKING UTILITY, EXCUSE ME, UTILITY OUTLINES, BUT THAT'S JUST

[02:00:01]

HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IF THERE ARE ANY. MISS GOODEN. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE THAT A FEW CITIZENS HAVE GONE OVER SINCE HEARING THE PRESENTATION. THEY HAVE GONE TO VISIT SHINZO TO HAVE SOME LUNCH AND A DINNER WITH A FAMILY. AND THEY REALLY HAD SOME NICE REMARKS ABOUT IT AND SAID THEY ENJOYED IT AND THE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD. SO I WILL JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT CITIZENS ARE ALREADY GOING TO CHECK IT OUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MICHELLE. COUNCILMAN BURNETTE, THANK YOU MAYOR. I THINK OVERALL IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD DEAL. I'D STILL LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE MORE PLANS TO UTILIZE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.

HOWEVER, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN PENNEBAKER. PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU, SIR.

[7.A. Discussion and consideration of all matters incident and related to the issuance and sale of “City of Duncanville, Texas, Tax and Waterworks and Sewer System (Limited Pledge) Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2026”, including the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the issuance of such certificates of obligation and resolving other matters incident and related thereto.]

[02:05:11]

SO, AS MR. JACKSON SAID, WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS IN WORK SESSION. I WILL GO THROUGH AND JUST HIT A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS IF THAT PLEASES PLEASES COUNCIL. THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST ACTION THAT YOU TOOK ON MARCH 3RD TO APPROVE THAT NOTICE OF INTENT. WE ACTUALLY WENT AND SOLD THE CEOS TODAY AND RECEIVED A BID TO UNDERWRITE, SUBJECT TO YOUR APPROVAL. PRIOR TO THAT, WE DID GO TO S&P AND FITCH. YOU DID GET YOUR AA CREDIT RATINGS AFFIRMED. THAT'S THE THIRD HIGHEST CREDIT RATING YOU CAN GET. AND THAT CERTAINLY LED INTO THE VERY LOW INTEREST RATE OF 3.78%. SO 3.78% IS THE RATE THAT IS FIXED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CEOS, $11,050,000 IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL. THAT'S MUCH LESS THAN THE NOTICE OF INTENT, WHERE WE HAD A $12 MILLION MAXIMUM IN THERE. AND THEN ASSUMING YOUR APPROVAL, YOU WILL RECEIVE JUST UNDER $11.940 MILLION FOR THAT ARMY PROJECT. SO WITH THAT, I'D CERTAINLY BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. HE LIKED TO THE WORKING COUNCIL. MCBURNETT. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO THIS MIGHT BE FOR MR. JACKSON, WILL YOU? BUT WILL YOU EXPLAIN THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, PLEASE? YES. SO THE PROCESS BEGAN WITH THE THE DIALOG IN SEVERAL BRIEFINGS AND AGAIN, THE THE, THE TOPIC OF THE ARMY DEFINITELY GOES BACK BEYOND THIS FISCAL YEAR. SO IT'S BEEN A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION THAT WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH, WITH PRESENTATION. SO THE FORMALITY BEGAN AT THE MARCH 3RD MEETING. IN TERMS OF THE NOTICE OF INTENT. FROM THERE, THERE WAS THE 60 DAY PROCESS PER THE RULES AND GUIDELINES AS IT RELATES TO THAT DURING THAT PERIOD. NOTICE, LIKE PUBLIC NOTICES WERE PUT OUT, NEWSPAPER NOTICES AS WELL AS ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE IN TERMS OF OUR INTENT TO SELL THE BONDS ON MAY 5TH. AND AS MR. HUGHES HAS ALREADY INDICATED, THAT SALE HAPPENED TODAY. AND SO THIS WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP. OR I GUESS, THE THE FINAL STEP IN TERMS OF THE THE CORRESPONDING ORDINANCE THAT THAT FORMALLY AUTHORIZES THE SALE OF. MR. MCBURNETT AND FINALLY, IN TERMS OF WHEN WE CAN EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS, THAT WOULD BE ROUGHLY AROUND 30 DAYS FROM FROM HERE. OKAY. AND AND CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE TIME FRAME ON IT AS WELL? YES. SO AGAIN, PROJECT WISE, THIS WOULD BE FOR THE AUTOMATED METER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT FOR PUBLIC WORKS. THE PROCESS IN TERMS OF THE METERS WOULD BE BOTH FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SO UPON RECEIPT OF RECEIPT OF THE PROCEEDS, WE ARE PREPARED TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT STEP WITH OUR PARTNERS IN REGARD TO THE THE PROJECT ITSELF. TIMETABLE FOR THAT PROJECT, AND I'LL DEFER TO MATT BRYANT FOR THAT AS WELL. IN TERMS OF THE SPECIFIC TIMELINE. MR. MACK BURNETT BUT LIKE IN TERMS OF THE TOTAL TIMELINE,

[02:10:02]

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, MR. MCBURNETT AND COUNCIL, THERE IS A APP, THERE IS AN APPLICATION ELEMENT AS WELL THAT WOULD GIVE, YOU KNOW, OUR RESIDENTS AS WELL AS OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS, THE ABILITY TO SEE WHAT THEIR WATER METER AND THE STATUS IS IN REAL TIME. SO HOPEFULLY I THE WAY FOR THEM TO MORE QUICKLY IDENTIFY IF THEY'RE HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH ANY LEAKS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MAYOR, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND. WELL, THE. MR. JACKSON, I GUESS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RETURN ON INVESTMENT ON THIS AS WELL, CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT AS WELL? YES. YES, SIR. MR. MCBURNETT AND COUNCIL, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE RETURN, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO THE BONDS, AS WE HAD PRESENTED ON ON A CASH FLOW BASIS, WE'RE LOOKING AT BOTH BASED ON THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT THE CITY WOULD RECEIVE, AS WELL AS REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE THAT THOSE THOSE REVENUE ACHIEVEMENT AS WELL AS SAVINGS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE DEBT SERVICE, FOR THE BONDS THAT WERE PRESENTED. SO, IN OTHER WORDS, FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT ITSELF, IT WOULD NOT RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN THE IN THE WATER RATES. WE FEEL THAT THE. AGAIN, FROM THE CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS THAT THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT WOULD BE ACHIEVED BY OUR CONVERSION INTO THE ARMY PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE REDUCTIONS OF EXPENDITURES, WOULD OFFSET AND BE ABLE TO SERVICE THE DEBT ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE PROVIDED BY. MR. AND THOSE WERE CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES, RIGHT? YES. THEY WERE. AND SO SO THERE'S A POTENTIAL WE CAN PAY THIS OFF SOONER THAN LATER. WELL, AND, AND YEAH, SO, SO THE, THE PROJECTIONS WERE CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES. AND SO IDEALLY, AGAIN, I THINK THE CITY IS IN A GOOD POSITION AS IT RELATES TO BEING ABLE TO SERVICE THE DEBT WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE AN INCREASE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. MAYOR, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO CLARIFY AGAIN, JUST YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION WAS ASKED ABOUT THE TAX ASPECT OF THIS AND IS. MR. HUGHES SAID IN THE BRIEFING WE'RE. YES, WE ARE ISSUING CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, BUT THE. BUT WE CAN LEGALLY PAY IT BACK WITH OTHER REVENUE SOURCES. AND AGAIN, THE PLAN IS THE UTILITY FUND REVENUES WILL PAY THESE THESE BONDS BACK. SO JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, MR. HUGHES SAID IN THE BRIEFING, BUT JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. WE MENTIONED HERE OUT THE MAIN. I'M SORRY YOU MENTIONED IT'S THE PLAN. I KNOW THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE THE DOCUMENT, IT SAYS THAT FOR WATER AND SEWER REVENUE. SORRY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, IF I MAY, ANY TIME YOU ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, STATE LAW SAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SECURITY PLEDGE OF AD VALOREM TAXES AND SOME KIND OF REVENUE STREAM, WHICH TYPICALLY FOR CITIES, IT'S WATER AND SEWER REVENUES. YOU CAN USE ANY LEGALLY AVAILABLE REVENUE, HOWEVER, TO PAY THE DEBT. AND SO THAT'S THE DISTINCTION IS THE SECURITY PLEDGE. AGAIN, STATE LAW, AD VALOREM TAXES, UTILITY REVENUES, THE ACTUAL STREAM THAT YOU USE TO PAY THE DEBT SERVICE IN THIS CASE WOULD BE THE UTILITY REVENUES. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY.

[02:15:01]

[7.B. Discussion and consideration of all matters incident and related to approving and authorizing publication of notice of intention to issue Series 2026A Certificates of Obligation, including the adoption of a resolution pertaining thereto.]

[02:20:07]

SO THIS IS SO IS IT SAFE TO SAY THAT OUR UTILITY FUND BALANCE IS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO DO BOTH ITEMS THAT WE JUST PASSED, AND THIS ONE CURRENT. AND THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE AD VALOREM TAX.

WE WILL NOT HAVE TO GO TO A VOTE. WE WILL NOT HAVE TO DEPEND ON ADDITIONAL TAXES. WE CAN FULLY BE CONFIDENT OR AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, BE ASSURED THAT THIS LEFTOVER AMOUNT IS GOING TO COVER WHAT WE'RE APPROVING AND TAKING ACTION ON TONIGHT. YES, MA'AM. SO AGAIN, TO AFFIRM, AFFIRM THAT, YES, THERE IS NO INTENTION TO USE OR TO HAVE AN INCREASE OF TAXES OR TAXPAYER OR PROPERTY TAXES FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PROJECT, AS WELL AS THE PREVIOUS PROJECT DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THE FUND BALANCE, THAT THAT THAT IS STILL OUR POSITION IN TERMS OF WHAT THE PROJECTED FUND BALANCE IS GOING TO BE. AND AGAIN, FOR FOR THE PREVIOUS PROJECT, OUR EXPECTATION IS THAT THE ADDITIONAL REVENUES, AS WELL AS SOME EXPENDITURE REDUCTIONS, SO THAT THAT THAT ADDITIONAL GAP WOULD COVER THE DEBT SERVICE IN THIS CASE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS GOOD. YES. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS BASED ON THE HEALTH OF OUR FUND BALANCE, THAT THERE IS ENOUGH TO COVER THIS, THIS $1.4 MILLION, AND THIS IS A QUALIFIED A QUALIFIED PURCHASE, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. THIS IS A QUALIFIED I DON'T IN MY WORLD IS QUALIFIED, BUT THIS IS A QUALIFIED PURCHASE THAT COULD BE USED FOR THE UTILITY FUNDS BECAUSE EVERYTHING CAN'T UTILITY FUNDS CAN'T PAY FOR EVERYTHING. THAT'S CORRECT. IT HAS TO BE FOR SPECIFIC ITEMS. AND THIS ONE FALLS WITHIN THAT SPECIFICATION. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO ONE MORE TIME BACK TO MY QUESTION AND YOU EXPLAINED IT WELL. BUT I WANT TO PUBLICLY STATE THAT THIS IS NOT THIS ITEM IN THE AMOUNT OF $13,410,000. THERE'S A QUESTION RIGHT HERE. JUST TO CLARIFY, IT'S $1.49 MILLION FOR THIS SPECIFIC ITEM, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. AND MAYOR, IF I MAY, I THINK MAYBE WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING, WHAT STATE LAW ALSO REQUIRES WHENEVER A CITY PASSES A NOTICE OF INTENT WITHIN THE NOTICE OF INTENT AND THE ASSOCIATED DOCUMENT, THERE IS INFORMATION ON THE OUTSTANDING DEBT OF THE CITY. AND I THINK, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, MAYOR, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING. SO WHAT IS PUT IN THERE IS NOT ONLY WHAT YOU ANTICIPATE DOING AND ISSUING WITH THIS CEO THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO WHAT WOULD BE THE 2026 A? BUT THE INFORMATION IN THERE ALSO HAS YOUR OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL PLUS COMBINED PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST OF ALL OF YOUR OTHER DEBT. THAT'S WHAT'S BEING REFERENCED THERE, SIR. OKAY. NO AD VALOREM TAX, NO AD VALOREM TAX. AGAIN, FROM A STATE LAW PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU ISSUE COS YOU HAVE THAT PLEDGE BUT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE ANY LEGALLY AVAILABLE REVENUES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MCBURNETT. I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND.

MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN KOONTZ. PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU.

[9.A. Parks and Recreation Bi-Annual Report]

[02:25:01]

IT'LL BE MUCH BIGGER WHEN YOU SEE THIS REPORT IN SIX MONTHS FOR THE SUMMER, SPRING AND SUMMER. SO THE TWO ANNUAL COLOR CHANGES, 30 SERVICE REQUESTS. WE GOT ON THOSE PRETTY QUICKLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, AN AVERAGE OF 2.2 DAYS. AND THEN WE HOSTED THREE ATHLETIC TOURNAMENTS. AND AGAIN, THAT SEEMS SMALL. BUT REMINDER THAT THAT WAS THE WINTER. SO THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON DURING THAT TIME. THAT'LL BE A MUCH BIGGER NUMBER AT YOUR NEXT REPORT. SOME IMPROVEMENTS WE MADE TO OUR PARKS. WE ADDED DUG OUT COVERS TO LAKESIDE PARK. WE REPLACED THE BASKETBALL GOALS AT ARMSTRONG PARK. THOSE WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE USE IT GETS, ACTUALLY, NOT BECAUSE NECESSARILY OF MALFEASANCE. SO I ADDED SOME ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AT ALEXANDER IRRIGATION AT ROTARY PARK, AND THEN DID CHEMICAL SPRAYING FOR ALL OF OUR PARKS. SOME OF OUR MAJOR PROJECTS. OBVIOUSLY, WE ASSISTED WITH THE HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES HERE IN ARMSTRONG PARK. WE COMPLETED A TECH STOCK GREEN RIBBON PROJECT AND ACTUALLY COMPLETED THE PLANS FOR THAT PROJECT. AND THAT WILL BE GOING OUT TO BID HERE VERY SOON WITH TXDOT. AND THEN WE SUBSTANTIALLY, SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED THE HARRINGTON PARK BOND PROJECT, WHICH WE'VE BEEN TRYING DESPERATELY TO HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING OVER THE LAST MONTH. AND I WANTED TO STOP HERE AGAIN AND TAKE A MOMENT THE NEXT DAY THAT THE THE BASEBALL AND SOCCER ARE PLAYING TOGETHER. IT WILL BE ON MAY 16TH. SO I GUESS KIND OF A NOD OF HEADS. ARE Y'ALL AVAILABLE MAY 16TH TO TRY ONE MORE TIME? MAY 16TH AT NOON. SO IT SEEMS OKAY. OKAY, WE'RE GONNA SHOOT FOR. THIS IS OUR SERVICE REQUEST DASHBOARD THROUGH OUR KPIS, SOMETHING WE STARTED HERE AT CITYWIDE. YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT WE'RE KEEPING TRACK OF ALL THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE COMING IN THROUGH OUR SERVICE REQUESTS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING ON TOP OF THOSE AND RESPONDING TO OUR CITIZENS IN A TIMELY MANNER. KEEPING A BEAUTIFUL, RECOGNIZED EIGHT NEW PROPERTIES FOR THE FALL. WE RECOGNIZE WHATABURGER AND FERRANTE HAIR STUDIO AS OUR BUSINESS BEAUTIFICATION AWARD RECIPIENTS HOSTED TWO PARK CLEANUPS, AS WELL AS THE ANNUAL GARDENING WORKSHOP, AND ASSISTED WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS AND OUR HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD WASTE EVENT. A COUPLE OF UPCOMING EVENTS. WE HAVE FOUR MORE COMING UP IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. KEEP TEXAS WATERWAYS CLEANUP EVENT, THE NATIVE LANDSCAPING WORKSHOP, THE CDB COMMUNITY CLEANUP, AND THEN THE TEXAS ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION.

[02:30:02]

I'LL HIGHLIGHT TWO BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE NEW, THEY PROBABLY WEREN'T ON OUR LAST REPORT. THAT IS OUR TAI CHI PROGRAM, AS WELL AS OUR PING PONG LEARN AND PLAY THE TWO NEW PROGRAMS THAT HAVE STARTED HERE RECENTLY. BARON IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB OF BRINGING NEW PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES TO OUR RECREATION CENTER. ONE THING WE'VE ADDED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS IS TAKING SOME OF THE OVERFLOW FROM THE FIELD HOUSE. THESE ARE EVENTS THAT ARE EITHER TOO SMALL FOR THE FIELD HOUSE OR EVENTS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR. WE THESE ARE PRIMARILY EVENTS THAT ARE BEING HOSTED ON SUNDAYS. THAT'S IN A DAY THAT THE RECREATION CENTER RECREATION CENTER IS TYPICALLY CLOSED. SO IT'S NOT AFFECTING OUR PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GOING ON IN ANY WAY. AND IT'S BRINGING EXTRA REVENUE TO THE CITY. SO IT'S A WAY TO, AGAIN, PROVIDE A SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NEEDED. WE HAD NINE EVENTS OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. ACTUALLY, WE SHOULD HAVE TEN, BUT ONE GOT RAINED OUT. THAT'S MORE THAN ONE A MONTH. SO OUR GUYS ARE REALLY BUSY TRYING TO PROVIDE ACTIVITIES. AS COUNCIL MEMBER MCBURNETT FREQUENTLY POINTS OUT, WE'RE TRYING TO FIND FIND ACTIVITIES TO PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITY ALL THE TIME. AND A COUPLE OF MOVIES, CONCERTS, CHRISTMAS EVENTS, DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE, OUR BLACK HISTORY MONTH FIRESIDE CHAT ALONG WITH OUR WOMEN'S HISTORY FIRESIDE CHAT, AND THEN MOST RECENTLY, OUR EASTER EGG EXTRAVAGANZA. WHEN THIS PRESENTATION WAS PUT TOGETHER. THESE EVENTS HADN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT THEY HAVE HAPPENED NOW. TWO NEW MOVIES WE JUST HAD RECENTLY HAD ARE WE THERE YET? AND THE STAR WARS REVENGE OF THE SITH, WHICH CELEBRATE MAY THE 4TH, WHICH WAS HELD THIS PAST SATURDAY. GREAT EVENT. WE ACTUALLY HAD STAR WARS CHARACTERS AT THE EVENT AND THAT WAS A BIG HIT WITH ALL THE WITH ALL THE KIDS. A COUPLE EVENTS COMING UP, NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER, WHICH WAS MENTIONED EARLIER THIS THURSDAY AT NOON AT THE RECREATION CENTER AND THEN CONCERT IN THE PARK WITH MEMPHIS SOUL. AS YOU RECALL, WE HAD MEMPHIS SOUL AT OUR JULY 4TH EVENT A FEW YEARS AGO. EXCELLENT BAND, GREAT PARTY BAND. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE IF THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FUN TO DO. THIS IS IT. SO COME ON OUT AND SEE US ON SATURDAY, MAY 23RD. ALSO HAVE OUR ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY EVENT AND THEN THE PRINCE J AND THE VIBE CREW IS THE EVENT THAT WAS CANCELED, AND WE'RE STILL WORKING ON TRYING TO SET A NEW DATE FOR THAT. MOVING TO THE SENIOR CENTER. UNDER 26 NEW MEMBERSHIPS, OVER 6000 VISITS.

AGAIN, WE HOST OUR MEALS SERVED THROUGH THE VNA. AND OVER 6000 MEALS SERVED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THAT'S 1000 1000 A MONTH. LOTS OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS. AS YOU CAN SEE THERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH THEM ALL, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO TO FIND EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES AND FUN FOR OUR SENIORS. AND THEY'RE REALLY FUN GROUP TO HANG OUT WITH IF YOU'VE NEVER DONE THAT. AS YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE, SPECIAL EVENTS IS BACK IN PARKS AND RECREATION. AND SO THIS IS KIND OF A HIGHLIGHT OF THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS EVENT. I THINK YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS SLIDE. SO I'M NOT GONNA SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON IT. YOU KNOW HOW GREAT IT WAS. AND WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. SATURDAY IS OUR BLOOM BLOOM FEST 4 TO 10. LOTS OF ACTIVITIES, FOOD VENDORS, SHOPPING VENDORS, BATTLE OF THE BANDS. LOTS OF FUN THIS SATURDAY 4 TO 10 P.M. SO WE HOPE TO SEE EVERYBODY THERE.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. GOOD. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR MR. BART FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THE PARKS AND RECREATION ALWAYS DO SUCH AN EXCELLENT JOB, AND I SEE THAT THAT'S CONTINUING ON. THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS I'M GLAD YOU DID MENTION ABOUT THE TOURNAMENTS THAT ARE BEING HELD AT THE RECREATION CENTER DURING THE TIMES THAT IT'S NOT IN OPERATION, BECAUSE THAT WAS A CONCERN FOR ME. ARE WE KEEPING THOSE WHO PAY MEMBERSHIPS FOR RECREATION? ARE WE KEEPING THEM WHERE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT? SO YOU'RE NOT AFFECTING THOSE? FOR THE MOST PART? THERE'S BEEN A FEW THAT HAVE HAPPENED, SOME PORTIONS OF SATURDAYS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THEY'RE ON SUNDAYS. OKAY, PERFECT. I WAS

[02:35:01]

THANK YOU. JONES. YEAH. JUST COMMENT. I JUST WANTED TO WE TALK ABOUT UNSUNG HEROES IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. SO WE I COACH TWO SOCCER TEAMS. AND SO WE USE YOU KNOW, WE GO TO HARRINGTON A LOT WITH THE DUNCANVILLE SOCCER ASSOCIATION. AND THOSE FIELDS ARE ALWAYS IMMACULATE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING OUT THERE TO, TO MAINTAIN THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE RAIN. I KNOW THE RAIN HELPS, BUT IF YOU COULD CONVEY, YOU KNOW, OUR APPRECIATION, MY PERSONAL APPRECIATION TO, YOU KNOW, THOSE GUYS, I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. I KNOW THEY GOT TO BE DOING SOMETHING. BUT THOSE FIELDS ARE ALWAYS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE. AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE WEATHER EVENTS, I KNOW THEY THEY SHUT THE FIELDS DOWN. BUT I MEAN, THE REST OF THE TIME THOSE KIDS ARE OUT THERE. I MEAN, I HAVE TO TELL MY BOYS, STOP PULLING THE GRASS UP, YOU KNOW, AND YOU GO OUT THERE AND SOMEHOW THERE'S GRASS THERE AGAIN. SO WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT, THAT WORK. I WILL PASS THAT WORD ON. I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS. YEAH. THANK YOU BART. THANK YOU. ITEM NINE B PUBLIC WORKS SEMIANNUAL

[9.B. Public Works Semi-Annual Report]

SO WE'VE COMPLETED 552 WORK ORDERS. THIS DURING THIS SIX MONTH PERIOD. THERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF THE DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SERVICES BASED OFF THAT 552 WORK ORDERS. AND ALSO, TO REITERATE, PUBLIC WORKS IS LIVE WITH THE NEW EMGO SERVICES ACROSS PUBLIC WORKS. SO THAT'S BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR US. WE'RE REALLY HAPPY AND SATISFIED WITH THEIR WITH THAT PLATFORM, EQUIPMENT SERVICES COMPLETED 321 THAT DID GO LIVE IN DECEMBER. SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT THERE THAT'S PROBABLY MISSED THAT. WE WERE STILL OPERATING OFF PAPERWORK ORDERS, BUT STILL SUBSTANTIAL WITH A BREAKDOWN OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, SIGNIFICANT DEPARTMENTS, WORK ORDERS AND EIGHT VEHICLES PURCHASED OUT OF THE FY 26 FLEET REPLACEMENT. IN THE UTILITIES DIVISION. OH, I DIDN'T EVEN DID I EVEN GO OVER STAFFING? SORRY IF I OVERLOOKED THAT. SO FULLY STAFFED IN BUILDING MAINTENANCE ONE VACANCY AT THE TIME OF COMPLETING THIS POWERPOINT. HOWEVER, THE VACANT MECHANIC POSITION ACTUALLY STARTED YESTERDAY. SO EQUIPMENT SERVICES IS FULLY STAFFED.

UTILITIES. WE HAVE TWO CREW LEADER VACANCIES ONE THREE EXCUSE ME, THREE MAINTENANCE WORKER VACANCIES. WE ARE VERY PRO INTERNAL PROMOTION. SO WE ACTUALLY FOCUS MORE ON HIRING MAINTENANCE WORKERS. WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES COMING UP THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PROMOTING WITHIN. SO OUR FOCUS IS HIRING OUTSIDE MAINTENANCE WORKERS. 15 MILLION ASSUMED WATER LOSS. THAT'S A COMBINATION OF FLUSHING LEAKS. OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN FACTOR IN METER INACCURACIES. THAT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR STORAGE. WHEN WE DO RECEIVE

[02:40:01]

THIS YEAR, OUR FOCUS WAS FIRE HYDRANTS. AND SO WE, WE ACTUALLY FLOW TESTED EVERY FIRE HYDRANT IN THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, MINUS A FEW THAT THEY CAME ACROSS THAT WERE IN NEED OF REPAIR. SO THOSE ARE ON A REPAIR LIST. BUT THIS, AS WE'VE MENTIONED, GOES A LONG WAY WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A GOAL OF ACHIEVING A LEVEL ONE ISO RATING. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO EVEN BE ELIGIBLE TO ENTERTAIN THAT. AND THEN WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM FOR FUTURE YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY ON TOP OF FIRE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE ACROSS THE CITY EVERY YEAR SO THAT THEY CAN SUSTAIN THAT. AND THEN ASTERA USA HAS BEEN A REAL BIG GAME CHANGER FOR US, AS YOU KNOW, AND I SENT YOU ALL SOME INFORMATION. I WAS IN SAN ANTONIO LAST WEEK AT THE TEXAS WATER, WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST WATER WASTEWATER CONFERENCES IN TEXAS ANNUALLY. AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD US, THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE AS A CASE STUDY, BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST SO SUCH A SUCCESS HERE IN DUNCANVILLE, WITH THE AMOUNT OF LEAKS FOUND AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER RECOVERY AND REVENUE RECOVERY WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH JUST UTILIZING THEIR SERVICES. IT'S BEEN SO WONDERFUL. SO YOU CAN SEE THEIR WATER SAVINGS OF AN ANNUAL BASIS OF 102 MILLION GALLONS THAT WAS BLEEDING OUT OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE COULDN'T EVEN SEE, DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT WHEN SURFACING WITHIN ESTIMATED WATER COST SAVINGS OF ABOUT 360,000 GALLONS OF WATER, WE HAVE REPAIRED 47 LEAKS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. WE STILL HAVE 35 SMALLER LEAKS THAT ARE STILL WORKING. AGAIN, THAT'S THAT COMES WITH JUST SOME OF THE SHORTAGES WE HAVE IN STAFF THAT WE'RE WE ARE STILL WORKING ON GETTING THOSE FIXED. AND THEN AT THIS TIME, I WANT TO TURN THIS OVER TO ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SHEHAB MOHAMMED. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

CITY MANAGER. SO SHAHID MOHAMMED, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. I'LL BE COVERING OUR THE REST OF OUR DIVISIONS, STARTING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. WE ARE FULLY STAFFED AT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM. DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS, WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE TWO NEIGHBORHOOD SWEEPS ON OCTOBER 20TH. IN OCTOBER 2025, WE DID THE SILVER CREEK ESTATES AND THE WHISPERING HILLS, AND IN FEBRUARY OF 2026, WE WERE ABLE TO SWEEP FAIR WOODS AND FAIR WOOD PLACE SUBDIVISIONS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF WORK ORDERS, AS YOU SEE, THAT WAS DONE BY THE TEAM, IS 1431. WITHIN THE SIX MONTH PERIOD, THERE WERE 196 CITATIONS ISSUED AND WHICH WAS A RESULT RESULTED IN ABOUT $51,000 OF REVENUE. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A NEW IN BLUE GO LIVE ON MONDAY OF APRIL 13TH, WHICH IS THE SAME PLATFORM THAT IS BEING USED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS COURTS TO ISSUE CITATIONS, DIGITAL CITATIONS, AND AS WELL AS STARTING A PROGRAM OF SATURDAY COVERAGE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN 8 A.M. TO 12 P.M. EVERY SATURDAY. COVERAGE BY AN OFFICER STARTED ON FEBRUARY 28TH. NEXT IS OUR STREET MAINTENANCE AND DRAINAGE ADMIN DIVISION. WE ARE. WE HAVE 11 OUT OF 16 POSITIONS FILLED. WE HAVE TWO MAINTENANCE WORKERS, IN FACT, FOUR TOTAL MAINTENANCE WORKERS. LEVEL BETWEEN LEVEL ONE AND TWO VACANCIES AND ONE CREW LEADER. THREE POSITIONS WERE PART OF THE HIRING FREEZE THAT IS ACTIVELY HAPPENING, STARTING WITH THE THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE HAVE TOTAL OF WORK ORDERS DONE 75 POTHOLE REPAIRS FOR 40 UTILITY CUTS, 24

[02:45:10]

IN A SEPARATE BRIEFING. AS YOU ALSO SEE HERE THAT WE HAVE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TCE. Q AN MS4 REQUIREMENTS THE CITY HITTING A 4000 POPULATION HAVE ENTERED INTO A NEW LEVEL OF REQUIREMENTS WITH TCE Q FOR DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER PROTECTION, WHICH WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING ON, AND WE HAVE CREATED A PROGRAM FOR IN COMPLIANCE TO WORK TO BE HANDLED BY THE STREET DEPARTMENT FOR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS. WE HAVE. THE SPLIT OF A TOTAL. WE ARE FULLY STAFFED AND WE. THIS IS THE SPLIT OF A. A TOTAL WORK ORDERS OF 384 AND THE PAST SIX MONTHS. TURNING INTO OUR SERVICE REQUEST KPI DASHBOARD. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE. THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IN GENERAL, WITH MULTIPLE DIVISIONS, HAVE RESPONDED TO A TOTAL OF 404 SERVICE REQUESTS IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS, AND THIS IS A SNAPSHOT IN TIME. MAJORITY OF OUR WORK ORDERS COMES TO BASICALLY OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE CODE VIOLATIONS. THERE IS ALSO WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE. THAT'S CALLED WORK ORDERS.

AND IT'S DIFFERENT FROM SERVICE REQUESTS. THIS IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE ALSO DO PROACTIVE WORK VERSUS THE REACTIVE WORK THAT WE RESPOND TO OUR OUR RESIDENTS WITH. WE ALSO DO A LOT OF PROACTIVE WORK AND INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS OUT THERE AS NOTIFIED AS WORK ORDERS, WHICH ADDS INTO A TOTAL OF OVER 3254 WORK ORDERS BY THE DEPARTMENT IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. HERE ARE SOME STATUS OF SOME OF OUR PROGRESS IN CIP PROJECTS. WE HAVE THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN, WHICH WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY OR LATELY BRIEFED COUNCIL ABOUT. WITH THE RESULT OF THE ANALYSIS, WE HAVE WRAPPED THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN AND WE HAVE PROVIDED A HIGH LEVEL EXECUTIVE LEVEL REPORT TO COUNCIL AND PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THIS. WE ALSO HAVE ONGOING WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN STUDY THAT IS BEING HANDLED BY GRESHAM SMITH, AND A DRAFT CIP PLAN WILL ALSO BE A RESULT OF THE ANALYSIS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING LATER ON, WHEN WRAPPED UP TO COUNCIL IN A SEPARATE BRIEFING, WE HAVE NOB HILL REPAIRS. IT'S A WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT ON NOB HILL DRIVE IN NOB HILL CIRCLE. THIS WAS DONE BY IEA. THE DESIGN HAVE COMPLETED AND WE ARE READY TO. WE'RE WORKING ON THE BID DOCUMENTS TO BID THE JOB OUT. NEXT WE HAVE THE CHERRY STREET ALLEY PHASE TWO AND THAT PROJECT ALSO WAS DONE BY IEA AND IT WAS. THE DESIGN WAS COMPLETED. WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON THIS PROJECT TO BE BID OUT. CEDAR RIDGE IS ANOTHER PROJECT THAT THE CITY MANAGER HAVE MENTIONED THE STATUS ABOUT EARLIER, WHICH WE JUST KICKED OFF RECENTLY, AND IT'S ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION WORK RIGHT NOW.

AND LASTLY, WE HAVE THE CREEK BANK RESTORATION, WHICH IS A, A AN EMERGENCY CREEK BANK IMPROVEMENTS THAT IS BEING CONTRACTED BY STOIC CIVIL CONSTRUCTION. AND A NOTICE TO PROCEED WAS ISSUED ON APRIL 20TH. SO TALKING ABOUT GRANT APPLICATIONS, WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN WORKING ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND SPECIFICALLY FOR STREETS AND TRANSPORTATION OR TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS. TWO OF THE GRANT APPLICATIONS THAT WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING AWARDED IN THE PAST YEAR WAS THE CIP, WHICH IS THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WITH TXDOT. ONE WAS FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND ADA COMPLIANCE FOR WHEATLAND ROAD OF A TOTAL OF NINE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THIS. THE STATUS OF THIS PROJECT IS A 60% DESIGN ALREADY SUBMITTED TO TXDOT, AND WE ARE WORKING ON WRAPPING UP

[02:50:01]

WE HAVE NOT GOT SELECTED FOR THIS YET. WE HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT IT YET, BUT THIS IS A COLLABORATION THAT WE HAVE DONE WITH THE CITIES AND THE BEST SOUTHWEST, WORKING WITH THE MAINLY THE CITY OF DE SOTO AND CEDAR HILL TO SUBMIT A GRANT FOR A TECHNOLOGY GRANT OPPORTUNITY WITH NCT COG THAT FOR A PROJECT OF UPGRADING OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLE PREEMPTION SYSTEM. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE A SYSTEM FOR ALL OF THE TRI CITY, IN THIS CASE, CEDAR HILL, DESOTO AND DUNCANVILLE AS THEY WORK ON ONE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM AS WELL, THAT WE SEE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE. AND, AND WE HAVE SUBMITTED FOR THIS ANTICIPATING IN APRIL 9TH AND ANTICIPATING TO HEAR BACK IN AROUND SUMMER. THE SUMMARY HERE, AS YOU CAN SEE OF ALL OF THE DIFFERENT GRANT AWARDS THAT WE HAD IN THE PAST ALMOST A YEAR, WE CAN PROBABLY SAY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET ABOUT $3.9 MILLION WORTH OF SUPPORT FROM INTERAGENCY GRANTS IN TOTAL, BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE COVERED SO FAR OF THE GRANT APPLICATIONS THAT WE SEEKED AND WE WERE SUCCESSFUL TO GET. AND WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PRESENTATION. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU GET US? $3.9 MILLION. WE'LL CALL IT FOR OKAY. YEAH, I'LL CALL IT FOR GOOD WORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THE WORK TO FIND THOSE GRANTS AND TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEM. DID YOU WRITE THE GRANTS YOURSELF? NO. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH. WE HAVE WE HAD SEVERAL OR SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONSULTANTS WORKING ON THESE GRANTS WITH US AND ON THE WRITING OF THE SCOPE OF THESE GRANTS. AND WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM AND IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN. WELL, JOB WELL DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. MR. KUNTZ, DID YOU HAVE A LIGHT ON DID YOU HAVE YOUR LIGHT ON? NO, I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME THING YOU DID. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE

[9.C. Fairwood Place Parking Report]

[02:55:02]

ALL RIGHT, MR. VERACRUZ. THANK YOU. MAYOR, I KNOW THAT MR. VEGA AND SOME OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS HAD. INQUIRED ABOUT MAYBE PARKING PERMITS OR SOMETHING TO, TO KEEP THE THE RESIDENTS AT THE ON THE DALLAS SIDE FROM PARKING IN THAT AREA, HAS THAT ALSO BEEN. I'M SURE IT'S BEEN ADDRESSED, BUT IS THERE A PLAN ON THAT? SO WE WE HAVE LOOKED INTO THAT AND WE CAN WE CAN ESSENTIALLY, WE WOULD NEED TO CREATE A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM. DUNCANVILLE CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ONE. SO WE WOULD NEED TO CREATE THE ORDINANCE.

AND THEN WHAT MOST CITIES WILL DO, THEY'LL REQUIRE THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD TO EITHER CREATE AN HOA, A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, OR A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. AND USUALLY HOAS. THEY HAVE DUES AND THEY HAVE COMMON AREAS THAT THAT THEY MAINTAIN MIGHT BE SWIMMING POOLS OR OTHER SPECIAL LANDSCAPING, THAT SORT OF THING. SO I THINK IN THE CASE OF FAIRWOOD PLACE, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, SWIMMING POOLS AND A BUNCH OF COMMON AREAS WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WOULD SUFFICE. SO NUMBER ONE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. NUMBER TWO, WE WOULD HAVE TO CREATE AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM. AND THEN NUMBER THREE, WE COULD THE CITY COULD CREATE, WHETHER IT BE DECALS OR HANGTAGS, YOU KNOW, YOU NAME IT.

AND WE COULD WE COULD CREATE THOSE AND DISTRIBUTE THOSE TO THE. I BELIEVE THERE ARE 23 HOMES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE COULD WE COULD DISTRIBUTE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S 2 OR 4, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT RIGHT NUMBER IS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD FEELS IS NECESSARY, WE COULD DISTRIBUTE THOSE ITEMS TO RESIDENTS AND THEN THEY WOULD THEY WOULD ALSO BE THE ONES THAT WOULD NEED TO NEED TO POLICE THE, THE PROGRAM, SO TO SPEAK. WE'D PUT UP SPECIAL SIGNAGE. THIS IS FOR FAIRWOOD PLACE RESIDENTS ONLY. WE'D HAVE OUR OUR CITY'S TOWING VENDOR PHONE NUMBER THAT'S ON THAT SIGN. AND THEN AS AS NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS SEE A CAR THAT DOESN'T FIT OR DOESN'T HAVE THE DECAL OR THE HANG TAG, THEN THEY COULD THEY COULD CALL IN TO HAVE THAT, HAVE THAT VEHICLE TOWED. THAT'S HOW THAT'S HOW MOST OF THOSE PROGRAMS WORK. THANK YOU SIR. YES, SIR. EXCUSE ME, MR. KOONTZ. SO HOW DOES BECAUSE THE THE

[03:00:08]

I THINK THAT ONE HAS A NUMBER OF AXLES BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THE TRUCKS WILL HAVE DOUBLE WHEELS ON THE BACK. AND SO THAT ELIMINATES THEM. SO THERE ARE THERE ARE SIGN SIGNS IN DUNCANVILLE RIGHT NOW THAT CONTROL THAT BY WEIGHT OR BY AXLES. MISS GOODEN THANK YOU MAYOR. IN SPEAKING WITH MR. VEGA, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF CONCERNS AND WHY THEY WANTED TO DO THIS. AND HE SAID THEM THAT NIGHT. I JUST WOULD IF IT'S I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE OR NOT, BUT IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO HEAR THAT FROM MR. VEGA TONIGHT REAL BRIEFLY, OR DO WE NEED A PUBLIC HEARING? AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN THAT'S FINE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A HAPPY START. WELL, I KNOW, I KNOW IN THE RULES AND PROCEDURES I GUESS THE MAYOR CAN GET. CAN HE GET CAN HE GET CONSENSUS FROM THE COUNCIL TO LET SOMEBODY COME UP? I KNOW THAT'S OKAY. NO, WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A HAPPY MEDIUM OR A HAPPY START POINT, BECAUSE THEY DO. THEY DO NEED THE EXTRA SPACE WHEN HEALTH SERVICES COME BY. THERE'S NO ONE NOWHERE FOR THEM TO PARK WHEN ADDITIONAL FAMILY MEMBERS ARE COMING BY, THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR THEM TO PARK. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS PROVIDING SOME RELIEF. AND IF WE'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND IF THERE ARE ANY CONCERNS, HE CAN COME BACK AND REACH THE CITY OF CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND FURTHER DISCUSS THEN OR EITHER HIS COUNCIL MEMBER, DISTRICT FIVE COUNCIL MEMBER PENNEBAKER, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. MR. KOONTZ. JUST A QUESTION FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY. SO WHAT WOULD THIS REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING TO CHANGE THAT ORDINANCE? YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS COMING BACK UP. MAKE SURE YOU. YES, MR. COMBS. OKAY. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM

[Additional Item]

CHIQUITA TAYLOR, CITY SECRETARY, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS UPDATE AND SOME OPTIONS FOR POSSIBLE INTERVIEWS. SINCE WE WENT TO OUR ONLINE APPLICATION BACK IN APRIL 22ND OF 2024, WE'VE HAD 5512 VIEWS WITH 120 RESPONSES, WITH A CONVERSION RATE OF 2%. SINCE MARCH 1ST OF THIS YEAR, WE WE'VE HAD 860 VIEWS WITH 13 RESPONSES. ONE OF THEM WAS A

[03:05:08]

EIGHT OF OUR BOARDS HAVE SEVEN MEMBERS AS WELL. SO THAT WOULD MEAN ONE NOMINATION PER COUNCIL MEMBER. AND ARTS COMMISSION HAS NINE MEMBERS AND TIFF BOARD HAS FIVE MEMBERS. SO THERE WOULD BE NO POSTING REQUIREMENTS. BOARD SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, MINIMAL COORDINATION TO FILL VACANCIES, AND ADDED ACCOUNTABILITY TO COUNCIL MEMBERS BY NOMINEES. CURRENT STATUS. OUR CURRENT STATUS RIGHT NOW. APPLICATIONS RECEIVED. ACTUALLY WE HAVE WE HAVE TEN APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY FOR THE FOUR ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR OUR AD HOC COMMITTEES, WHICH IS THE LAB PRESERVE. WE HAVE FOUR APPLICANTS FOR THAT. WE HAVE NONE FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE. I HAVE ZERO ADDITIONAL. ASIDE FROM THE FOUR THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN INTERVIEWED. CURRENTLY, WE HAVE SIX VACANCIES ONE ON PLANNING AND ZONING, ONE ON PARKS AND REC. DCDC HAS ONE ARTS COMMISSION HAS ONE LIBRARY BOARD ONE AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HAS ONE VACANCY. INTERVIEW OPTIONS NUMBER FOUR FOR OUR AD HOC COMMITTEES OR SUBCOMMITTEES. AND THE SUGGESTION IS TO MAYBE, POSSIBLY TO FOLD THE AD HOC COMMITTEES AS SUBCOMMITTEES OF EXISTING BOARDS, INCLUDING BOARD MEMBERS AND COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS. AND SO THE LAB PRESERVE WOULD BE A SUBCOMMITTEE OF PARKS AND RECREATION, ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT WOULD BE A SUBCOMMITTEE OF ARTS COMMISSION AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE WOULD BE A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. I'M AVAILABLE TO TAKE QUESTIONS AND WHATEVER YOUR OPTIONS ARE, THAT'S WHAT WE'LL GO WITH. THANK YOU. MISS GOOD. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. IT IS CONCERNING AND A LITTLE DISCOURAGING TO SEE THAT WE'RE GETTING VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY AND APPLICATIONS RECEIVED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT. I KNOW THAT THAT IS ONE THAT IS BEING STALLED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HAVING ANY APPLICANTS TO COME IN. AND I WOULD THINK THAT THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON WHY THE ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT WE GO WITH MORE OF A TASK FORCE STYLE. BUT I WILL SAY TO THE COUNCIL THAT THE AD HOC OR THE SUBCOMMITTEE, IF WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY APPLICATIONS, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING. THE SUBCOMMITTEES. BUT HOW ARE WE. AND I KNOW YOU LISTED HOW WE'RE ADVERTISING IT AND PROMOTING IT. IS THERE A CERTAIN SCHEDULE THAT WE'RE PROMOTING IT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES? ROTATION WITHIN THE WATER BILLS, THE PRINT OUTS? HOW CONSISTENTLY ARE WE PUTTING IT OUT TO GET THE PUBLIC INTEREST? SO IT HAS BEEN GOING OUT IN THE EMAIL NEWSLETTER EVERY WEEK. SO THAT'S USUALLY WHEN YOU SEE THOSE SPIKES IS WHEN WE'RE PUTTING IT OUT WITH

[03:10:03]

AND WHAT WE, WHAT WE DO TO FIGURE OUT THE SCHEDULE IS FIGURE OUT OPTIMAL TIMES. WE DON'T WANT TO BEAT PEOPLE DOWN WITH THE SAME MESSAGE EVERY DAY. SO WE LOOK IS FOR THE PEAK DAYS AND THE PEAK TIME OF THE DAY WHERE IT'S GOING TO GET THE MOST EYES. THANK YOU. SURE. I WOULD SAY ONE OPTION THAT WE THAT MARK AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS MAYBE EVEN DOING SOME KIND OF TOWN HALL OR INFORMATION SESSION FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN JOINING BOARDS THAT SOME OTHER OPTION WOULD LOOK, AND JUST TRYING TO FIND OTHER WAYS JUST TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND TRYING TO TAP INTO OTHER OTHER RESIDENTS THAT MAY WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S, THAT'S ONE THING WE'RE LOOKING AT TOO. BUT AGAIN, WE JUST WANTED TO BRING THESE OPTIONS TO YOU AS WELL, JUST IN THE INTERIM OF HOW WE CAN MOVE THINGS FORWARD. MR. KOONTZ. SO FIRST OF ALL, TOWN HALL, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. SO I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT. AND THEN. I DON'T KNOW, I KIND OF FEEL A CERTAIN WAY ABOUT NOT HAVING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS THAT WE HAVE WHERE WE'RE ALL THERE. WE'RE ALL INTERACTING WITH THE APPLICANTS. YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL SCORING TOGETHER. SO I KIND OF FEEL A CERTAIN WAY ABOUT MESSING WITH THAT PROCESS.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD PROCESS. AND THEN I DID WANT TO SAY, BECAUSE I GUESS IT WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE WERE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT COMMITTEES. I THINK IT WAS IT WAS A COMP PLAN IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE. AND I SUGGESTED THAT WE WE INTERVIEW AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE WAS SOME MISUNDERSTANDING, WHICH SOMETIMES HAPPENS WITH ME IS THAT WE WE DID HAVE A SLATE OF, I BELIEVE PEOPLE HAD NOMINATED INDIVIDUALS ALREADY. SO WE DID HAVE A LIST OF NOMINATIONS, I BELIEVE, WITH THE ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT COMMITTEE, WE DID HAVE A LIST OF NOMINATIONS.

AND WITH THE LAD PRESERVE COMMITTEE THERE WAS A LIST OF NOMINATIONS. AND SO MY SUGGESTION WAS THAT WE INTERVIEW, WE REACH OUT TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT WE HAD NOMINATED AND THEN SEE WHO WAS INTERESTED AND THEN INTERVIEW THEM. AND SO IT WASN'T TO PUT IT OUT THERE AND LET PEOPLE SEE IF THERE WAS INTEREST, BECAUSE I, I WAS SHOCKED THAT NOBODY HAD APPLIED TO THE ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT, BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED AND WHO MAYBE THOUGHT THEY WERE NOMINATED, AND MAYBE THEY WERE WAITING FOR NEXT STEPS. SO, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY HAVE SOME NOMINATIONS. AGAIN, MY THOUGHT WAS THAT WE WOULD REACH OUT TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS, SEE IF THEY WERE INTERESTED, WHICH MOST OF THEM SURE THEY ARE, AND THEN WE WOULD INTERVIEW THEM. AND SO THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS THAT I WAS SUGGESTING. COUNCIL MEMBER KUNTZ, WE DID REACH OUT TO EVERYONE THAT WAS NOMINATED AND ASKED ALL OF THEM TO GO ONLINE TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE AN APPLICATION ON FILE WITH ALL OF THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE CPC PEOPLE, THOSE WE ENTERED THE WE INTERVIEWED THE FIRST FOUR AND THE OTHER THREE DECLINED. SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY ADDITIONAL. EVERYONE THAT WAS NOMINATED FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT WERE CONTACTED AND ASKED TO COMPLETE AN ONLINE APPLICATION. BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST PICK. ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT STEERING COMMITTEE AS ONE OF YOUR BOARD OPTIONS. AND THAT'S. AND WE DID THE SAME FOR LAD COMMITTEE AS WELL. SO ANYBODY WHO WAS NOMINATED WAS CONTACTED AND THEY WENT ONLINE TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION. AND IT WAS ALSO ADVERTISED WITH ALEX AS THOSE AD HOC COMMITTEES, AS SUBCOMMITTEES FROM BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WE NEED TO CRACK A WHIP. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? MR. PENNEBAKER? THANK YOU. I, I AGREE WITH THE TOWN HALL. WE USED TO DO THAT. WE USED TO HAVE A BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS EVENT AND IT WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED, VERY WELL ATTENDED. I THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT. DEFINITELY. I LIKE STICKING WITH THE SAME PROCESS. IT WORKS. WE JUST GOT TO GET PEOPLE IN AND AND WITH SOME OF THESE, I'M KIND OF AT A POINT WHERE WE NEED TO PUT THEM IN THE ROTATION AND DO THEM LIKE WE'RE DOING THE OTHER ONES AT THIS POINT, AS FAR AS GETTING THE BOARDS AND COMMISSION STARTED AND MAKING PART OF THE PROCESS GOING INTO AUGUST AND SEE IF THE PROMOTION THROUGH THE THROUGH THE TOWN HALL AND DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT ONLINE, REACHING OUT TO OUR PEOPLE FOR OUR RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY GO ONLINE AND SIGN IT

[03:15:04]

THANK YOU MAYOR. SO I LIKE OPTION TWO SO WE CAN GET THEM SEATED A LITTLE FASTER. WE CAN GET THEM INTERVIEWED A LITTLE FASTER. AND I ALSO LIKE THE COMBINATION OF OPTION FOUR, WHICH IS THE SUBCOMMITTEES IF WE HAVE TO GO THAT ROUTE. BUT MY QUESTION IS, AND I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, IS ARE WE ENCOURAGING OUR CURRENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO RECRUIT FOR THEIR OWN BOARD OR COMMISSION? SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT, BECAUSE THAT CERTAINLY THEY KNOW SOMEONE WHO WOULD FIT THE BILL AND THEIR PARTICULAR BOARD OR COMMISSION. I WOULD, I WOULD THINK COULD BE THEIR SPOUSE. THANK YOU KNOW, A GOOD IDEA. MISS GOODEN. THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL, I JUST WANT TO OFFER ONE CITY MANAGER THAT'S PROBABLY BEST. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AT OUR SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE COULD HAVE A TABLE THERE FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHERE WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HIGH ATTENDANCE, HAVE THEM PRESENT TO PROMOTE OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND POSSIBLY GENERATE SOME INTEREST AND HAVE THEM COME OVER AND TALK TO THE CITIZENS THERE. YES, WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. THAT'S ANOTHER ANOTHER FORUM WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF HIGH TRAFFIC. SO YES, WE CAN DO THAT. MR. KOONTZ. AND THEN OUR CURRENTLY IS ONE ABLE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION ONLINE. WITHOUT PRINTING IT OUT. AND SO YOU CAN JUST FILL IT OUT. WE HAVE THEM AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE COME IN BUT CAN LIKE, CAN I, COULD I DO IT ON MY PHONE, FILL IT OUT? AND THEN ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. I WAS GOING TO SAY RIGHT NOW ON OUR WEBSITE, I THINK WE STILL DO HAVE KIND OF A BANNER AT THE TOP THAT SAYS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO IT'S STILL AT THE TOP OF THE IT'S IN YELLOW, BUT YOU'LL SEE AT THE TOP, WE'RE DEFINITELY ADVERTISING THERE TOO, WHERE YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO THE LINK. OKAY. GOT A DECISION TO MAKE? NOT TONIGHT, BUT GOT IT. GOT SOME THINKING TO DO. BEFORE I CLOSE OUT. I WANT TO MENTION THAT IN OUR AUDIENCE, SOMEONE HAS STUCK OUT THE ENTIRE MEETING AND IT'S A COLLEAGUE OF MINE ON OUT OF LEADERSHIP SOUTHWEST. THAT IS PART OF OUR ASSIGNMENT, WHICH I HAVEN'T FULFILLED YET. YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO GO TO A A GOVERNMENTAL MEETING COULD BE SCHOOL BOARD, COULD BE ANOTHER CITY, WHICH I WILL DO, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU STAYING FOR THE FULL MEETING. AND I KNOW SHE'LL GIVE US GOOD REVIEWS WHEN SHE GETS BACK IN FRONT OF THE LEADERSHIP SOUTHWEST GROUP. SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND THAT TAKES CARE OF OUR BUSINESS FOR THIS EVENING, I BELIEVE. AND WE WILL ADJOURN
