Aug 18, 2026 City Council

[00:00:08]

YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. THE ROOM SEEMS EMPTY TODAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BEGIN WITH OUR WORK SESSION AT 6:00 PM FOR TUESDAY, AUGUST 18TH, 2026. AND WITH THAT, WE'LL GET RIGHT INTO DISCUSS AGENDA ITEMS. GOOD EVENING MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL. SO THERE ARE SIX ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM SEVEN A IS JUST THE. CONSIDERING THE MINUTES FROM THE AUGUST 4TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND THE AUGUST 6TH, 2026 BUDGET WORKSHOP. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MINUTES CHIQUITA TAYLOR IS AVAILABLE. OKAY, MOVING ON.

ITEM B IS CONSIDER RESOLUTION FOR REAPPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR TERMS EXPIRING ON AUGUST 31ST, 2026. IF YOU RECALL, COUNCIL, IN THE LAST MEETING, WE DID RECOMMEND THAT ANYBODY THAT JUST WANTED TO BE REAPPOINTED THAT APPLY. WE'RE JUST BRINGING THOSE FORWARD FOR APPOINTMENT AND I THINK TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION. WE DID SOME SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION WITH YEARS OF SERVICE ON BOARDS, ETC. BUT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, CHIQUITA TAYLOR IS ALSO AVAILABLE. ITEM SEVEN C IS CONSIDER A CIVIL SERVICE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AMENDING THE POLICE CLASSIFICATION OF POLICE LIEUTENANT, POLICE SERGEANT AND UPDATING THE CIVIL SERVICE PAY PLAN. IF YOU ALL RECALL, AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS, WE TALKED ABOUT THE OVERALL PLAN TO. TO GET THAT MORE SUPERVISORY CONTROL FOR THE FOR THE POLICE. THIS WOULD ACTUALLY DO THAT. AND IT ALSO TIMES IT WITH TRYING TO FILL THOSE POSITIONS TOO. JUST TWO QUICK QUESTIONS ON THIS CONSENT ITEM.

NOT NOT TRYING TO MOVE IT AT ALL AND JUST JOG MY MEMORY. WE DID IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF FUNDS IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THIS CHANGE. CORRECT? YES. IT'S ALL YES. AND THEN I DID TAKE NOTICE THAT THERE ARE SOME UPDATING OF KIND OF THE CLASSIFIED OR THE CIVIL SERVICE PAY PLAN ITEMS IN TERMS OF STEPS AND MOVEMENTS IN THAT. THERE WERE NO COST CONSIDERATIONS WITH ANY OF THAT AS WELL. CORRECT. AS FAR AS FOR THIS, I MEAN, OTHER THAN JUST MOVING THEM UP. ACTUALLY, JENNIFER, I DON'T KNOW IF I MISSED ANYTHING. NOW OVERALL, WE'LL DO FOR THE BUDGET UPDATING THE STEP PAY PLANS. BUT I BELIEVE, SIR, IF I UNDERSTOOD YOU CORRECTLY, I DIDN'T HEAR EVERYTHING YOU SAID, BUT THE PAY PLANS THAT ARE ON THIS, THEY WERE BEING UPDATED BECAUSE WE GAVE AN INCREASE IN APRIL AND IT WASN'T UPDATED IN APRIL ON THE ORDINANCE. SO THIS IS JUST MAKING IT CORRECT. OKAY. SO THIS BRINGS. OKAY. BECAUSE I REMEMBER THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE ANY OF THE COST CONSIDERATION HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ACCOUNTED FOR. BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE A PART, BUT THIS CATCHES UP TO BE OKAY. I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY. ITEM SEVEN D IS JUST CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FY 2020 526 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING REVENUE RECEIVED, AMENDING EXPENDITURES IN BOTH THE UTILITY FUND AND THE FUND, WHICH IS THE PUBLIC EDUCATION GRANT FUND. THIS IS REALLY TWO THINGS. WE GOT A A REFUND CHECK FROM TRA, AND WE WANT TO APPLY THAT TO OUR EXPENDITURES BECAUSE AT THE TIME WE, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO ESTIMATE OUR EXPENDITURES. THEY WERE A LITTLE LOWER THAN WHAT WHAT THE ACTUAL COST WAS. AND THIS WOULD ACTUALLY, WE GOT THIS REFUND AND ALLOWS US TO, TO, TO, TO BEHOLD THERE. AND THEN ALSO THE PEG FUNDS, WE HAVE THAT PROJECT TO UPDATE THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS WITH THE DIGITAL SIGNING THE NEW VOTES, AND THAT THIS TRANSFER JUST ALLOWS THAT TO HAPPEN. SO WE CAN FINISH THAT PROJECT. BUT JENNIFER AND IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS ALSO ON THAT. BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS ACTION WOULD BE. OKAY. IN ITEM SEVEN E IS JUST CONSIDER RESOLUTION DECLARING NO AWARD MADE FOR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THIRD PARTY OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES AT DUNCANVILLE FIELDHOUSE. IF YOU RECALL, WE DID BRIEF YOU ON JUST PUTTING THAT PROJECT ON HOLD FOR NOW. THIS WOULD JUST OFFICIALLY NO AWARD TO TO THOSE RESPONDENTS.

AND THEN WE WOULD JUST AFTER THIS ACTION IS TAKEN, WE WOULD JUST POST THAT ON THE WEBSITE THAT NO AWARD WAS MADE. SO IT'S VERY PROCEDURAL. THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT. AND THEN THE LAST ITEM, ITEM SEVEN, WHICH IS CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN AND STREAM CONDITION ASSESSMENT IS PREPARED BY FREESE AND NICHOLS. IF YOU RECALL, THIS WOULD JUST ALLOW US TO BY ADOPTING THIS RESOLUTION, IT ALLOWS US TO PLAN BUDGETARILY DOWN THE ROAD IN THE FUTURE TO DO THESE DRAINAGE PROJECTS AGAIN, SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER PROJECT WORK ON TO HELP OUT WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY. THIS IS JUST THE ACTUAL DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN FOR ALL THE CITY FACILITIES, ETC. FOR DRAINAGE AND AND EROSION. 168 PAGES. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I DON'T TRUST. YOU. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE CONSENT AGENDA. THANK YOU.

BUT I MEAN, WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THINGS LIKE GARBAGE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IN TOWN HALLS AND THAT DIRECTION. SO I'M JUST KEEPING IT OPEN. OKAY. APPRECIATE YOU WATCHING THAT FOR US. YEAH. STILL LOOKING AT 13 FOR THE COUNCIL. IF THE 13TH WORKS, WE CAN MOVE IT TO THE 13TH. IF THAT WORKS EVERYBODY. 13. YES. FOR THE FOR THE RETREAT, FOR THE RETREAT COUNCIL RETREAT. OKAY.

BUT I KNOW I'M GONE THE 13TH THROUGH THE 15TH. SO I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE BACK THE 16TH OR I CAN MAKE SURE I'M BACK FOR THE 16TH. IT'S FINE. SO IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE 1616, I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN.

16TH. 27TH. THREE TUESDAY. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE VACATIONS. OKAY. WELL, DO YOU WANT YOU

[00:15:07]

GO FROM THERE. HONESTLY AND SERIOUSLY, I'D BE OKAY WITH THE 29TH. IF WE CAN GET EVERYBODY TO AGREE. OKAY. OKAY, OKAY. THAT WAS THE INTERVIEWS, I GUESS. SECRETARY, THOSE CALLS FOR THE INTERVIEW, THE RESCHEDULED. YES. WE WILL SCHEDULE THOSE STARTING STARTING TOMORROW. OKAY? OKAY. WE'RE ON TO ITEM THREE BRIEFINGS AND PRESENTATIONS, A BRIEFING ON DUNCANVILLE ARTS COMMISSION ARTS FUNDING POLICY AND GRANT GUIDELINES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL, ALEX HAMBY, COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING. BUT TONIGHT I AM THE STAFF LIAISON TO THE ARTS COMMISSION, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON A COUPLE MURALS TO START THE CONVERSATION. SO THIS MURAL IS CALLED BEACONS OF LIGHT. IT RECEIVED A $3,000 GRANT FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION DURING WHEN IT WAS SUBMITTED, IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESCRIBED AS A MURAL CELEBRATING DUNCANVILLE YOUTH AS RISING CHAMPIONS. THE PROJECT WAS ALSO PRESENTED AS SUPPORTING CULTURAL ARTS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS GRANT ON THE 16TH OF JULY AND THEN ON AUGUST 19TH, YOU APPROVED THAT GRANT. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS WE DID A REVISION TO THE MURAL ORDINANCE, AND WE DID THAT IN AUGUST OF 2025, WHICH MOVED REVIEW OF MURALS FROM DUNCANVILLE BEAUTIFUL OVER TO THE ARTS COMMISSION. IT'S KIND OF FELT THAT IT BELONGED OVER THERE WITH THEM. AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 16TH OF THE SAME YEAR, THE CITY COUNCIL REPEALED AND REPLACED THE MURAL ORDINANCE, APPROVING THAT REVISED THAT REVISION ON SEPTEMBER 23RD. SO THIS MURAL WAS CAUGHT UP IN THAT TRANSITION WITH THE MURAL ORDINANCE AND THE REVIEW PROCESS. ON SEPTEMBER 23RD, THE ARTS COMMISSION CONSIDERED A PERMIT FOR THIS MURAL. THE COMMISSION DID NOT HAVE THE ARTWORK AHEAD OF TIME. THE ARTWORK WAS RECEIVED THAT DAY AND THE ARTS COMMISSION SAW IT THAT DAY. I'M GOING TO. THAT MAY BE KEY TO SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A LITTLE BIT LATER. THE COMMISSION AT THE TIME RECOMMENDED THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE MURAL PERMIT. NOVEMBER 18TH. YOU ALL APPROVED THAT PERMIT. YOU ALSO DID HAVE THIS MURAL, THE ARTWORK IN IT, IN YOUR PACKET. AND THEN ON MARCH 3RD, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED A REVISED ARTS POLICY AND GRANT GUIDELINES. BUT THERE WAS NOTHING RELATED TO MURALS WITHIN THAT REVISION. SO THEN WE COME TO THE SECOND MURAL, THE FIELDHOUSE MURAL. THE ARTS COMMISSION CONSIDERED A MURAL PERMIT AND THE PROPOSED DESIGN.

ON JUNE 23RD, THEY MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PERMIT, AND THEY ALSO MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THIS MURAL WITH THE AMENDMENT THAT THE CROSS BE REMOVED DUE TO IT BEING ON A CITY FACILITY. DURING THAT MEETING, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS DID BRING UP THAT IN THIS MURAL, THERE WAS A PALESTINIAN FLAG OR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PALESTINIAN FLAG ON THE MURAL. THEY DID WIND UP RECOMMENDING BOTH THE PERMIT. THEY DID RECOMMEND THIS MIRROR WITH THAT CHANGE, AND THEN IT WAS SENT TO YOU. AND AT THAT TIME WHEN YOU REVIEWED THIS, THIS WAS ULTIMATELY TABLED. SO REGARDING THE POLICY, AND THE ARTS POLICY WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED ON APRIL 2025, AND THEN COUNCIL ADOPTED THAT ORIGINAL POLICY ON JUNE OF 2025. THERE HAS BEEN A REVISION, WHICH WAS ON MARCH OF 2026. SO JUST TALKING ABOUT THE GENERAL ELIGIBILITY, THIS IS WHAT MAKES WHAT IS IN THE POLICY WITH REGARDS TO GENERAL ELIGIBILITY AGE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE AT DUNCANVILLE RESIDENT, YOU HAVE TO EXPRESS, YOU HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU CAN DO IT WITHIN THE APPLICATION, WHATEVER THE PROJECT IS, WHO IS NOT ELIGIBLE? FULL TIME CITY EMPLOYEES, PEOPLE TRYING TO APPLY FOR A GRANT MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE SAME FISCAL YEAR. WE WANT TO KEEP THAT GOING. HAVE PEOPLE ONLY APPLY ONCE APPLICANTS WHO ARE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU ABOUT THEIR GRANT AND TRYING TO GET SOME SWAY. AND THEN THERE IS PROHIBITED USES, WHICH MAY BE THE MOST THE POINT OF THIS. AND

[00:20:01]

OH, I GOT YOU, I GOT YOU. YES, SIR. THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO THE. SO THIS IS NOT FOR JUST GENERAL PERMITS. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE GRANTS. AND IT WOULD BE AN ON PREMISE SIGN IF IT WAS ON CHURCH PROPERTY. SO I DON'T WE WOULD NOT HAVE A DOG IN THAT FIGHT OR IN THAT HUNT, DEPENDING ON. PUT MY DOG IN THAT FIGHT, IF I MIGHT ADD PUPPIES AT HOME, IF I MIGHT ADD THE TWO MURALS THAT ARE SHOWN. ONE WAS A GRANT APPLICATION AND GRANT FUNDED THE BEACONS OF LIGHT, AND THEN THE FIELD HOUSE WAS SIMPLY A PERMIT REQUEST. AND THE PERMITS DOESN'T LOOK AT THIS POLICY. JUST JUST JUST JUST HELP ME OUT BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE DENSE ON THIS. THE RIGHT I'M NEW. I'M GONNA USE THAT ONE. SO. OF COURSE THERE ARE. SO ANY TIME SOMEONE WANTS TO DO A MURAL IN THE CITY, THERE. THERE IS A SET OF PERMITTING REVIEW AND THAT PROCESS THAT TAKES PLACE. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE TODAY. CORRECT. SO TODAY WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS, ARE THE PROHIBITED USES. IF YOU ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE ARTS COMMISSION AND RECONCILING A PROHIBITED USE FROM A NON PROHIBITED OR PROHIBITED USE IN TERMS OF THAT, THAT IS THAT WHAT WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT TODAY FOR FIRST AMENDMENT PURPOSES, THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE, WE CANNOT FUND, BUT WHAT WE PROHIBIT FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE. IF YOU WANT TO PAINT UP YOUR CHURCH, WE'RE ALL GOOD. WE'RE GOOD. BUT TODAY WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE FUNDING THAT WE'VE GRANTED FOR THIS MURAL TO OCCUR THAT MAY BE PERHAPS IN ITS RENDERINGS OR IN ITS PLAN, CONTAINS SOMETHING THAT IS PROHIBITED BY OUR OWN, OR IF IT WAS ON CITY PROPERTY OR ON CITY PROPERTY. YEAH. OKAY. I'M CLEAR NOW. THANK YOU. YES. SO IN THAT DISCUSSION, IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE ARTS MEETING ABOUT THE MURAL FOR THE FIELD HOUSE, AND THEN THE ONE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED WITH THE PALESTINIAN FLAG, IT WAS CONCERNED THAT CAME UP ABOUT WE'RE DISCUSSING REMOVING A CROSS, BUT WE HAVE ONE THAT WE HAVE APPROVED WITH THE FLAG.

AND IT WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS. SO WHAT ARE WE CONSIDERING FOR THAT? HOW DO WE ANSWER THAT QUESTION? SO THE COMMISSIONER WHO BROUGHT THAT UP HAD REMARKED ABOUT THIS ONE.

ONE OF THE ANOTHER COMMISSIONER MADE THE MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS MURAL WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE CROSS, BECAUSE IT WAS ON A CITY FACILITY. AND THEN THE THE COMMISSIONER YOU'RE REFERRING TO SAID, WELL, ASKED, WHY IS THAT BEING POINTED OUT WHEN THIS GOT THROUGH? YES. THE. YES. SO I HAD TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF I UPON GOING BACK THROUGH THE HISTORY AND SEEING THE THE, THE SERIES OF EVENTS WHEN THINGS OCCURRED, I REALIZED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN THAT DID NOT HAPPEN WITH THE ORIGINAL WAS THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME WITH THE ARTWORK FOR THE PREVIOUS MURAL. THEY DID NOT HAVE. THEY GOT THAT DESIGN THAT DAY. THEY GOT THAT DESIGN JUST AHEAD OF THE MEETING. AND THAT WAS EIGHT AND A HALF BY 11. YES. SO THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME TO REALLY SIT, LOOK THROUGH THE APPLICATION, SEE IT. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE ALREADY PUT THIS ON THEIR AGENDA, AT LEAST TO DISCUSS IS REVISING IT SO THAT IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT AT THE TIME THAT YOU APPLY FOR AN ARTS GRANT FOR ANYTHING THAT IS VISUAL ART, YOU HAVE TO SEND SOME SORT OF SKETCH, YOU HAVE TO SEND A PRELIMINARY DESIGN, SOMETHING SO THAT THE ARTS COMMISSION AND YOU HAVE

[00:25:01]

[00:30:05]

ALSO, THERE'S A PDF THAT WE DON'T, YOU KNOW THAT THAT BUTTERFLY WAS OFFENSIVE TO ME.

SO WHOEVER WANTS I DON'T KNOW HOW WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, BUT WELL, I'M JOKING BY THE WAY, BUT I'M JUST YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING. WHAT I'M SAYING, IT'S IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER.

BUT OUR ATTORNEY TOLD US A LONG TIME AGO WHEN I DECLARED THAT A GIANT METAL GIRAFFE UP ON HIS HEAD WAS ILLEGAL. AND HE WARNED ME, YOU KNOW, ART IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. AND I. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO WRITE A CITATION FOR THAT GIANT GIRAFFE, WHICH I THINK IS STILL THERE TODAY. WE HAD A BIG LIZARD ON THE MAIN STATION. YEAH, WELL, THOSE DON'T GO THERE. OKAY, SO I KNOW WE HAVE ANOTHER. YOU OKAY? IF YOU WANT. OKAY. SO WE'RE LEAVING. WE'RE JUST ADDRESSING IT MOVING FORWARD. PLUS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WELL, THE WHAT IS THE WE'RE JUST GOING WITH THE NEXT STEPS POLICY IS TO VETTING APPLICATION POLICY UPDATE REQUIRES SKETCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS. OKAY. AND AND ANY RECOMMENDATIONS YOU HAVE.

WE CAN ALSO DO THE STAFF REVIEW AS PART OF THAT TOO. WE CAN GET AN ADVANCE. WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AND MAKING SURE IT'S, YOU KNOW, SO THE GIANT REPORTED. SO POLICY WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU. OKAY. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE ANYTHING TONIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR LAST BRIEFING PRESENTATION BRIEFING ON TEXAS SENATE BILL 785 PERTAINING TO THE ALLOWANCE OF NEW HUD MENU CODE MANUFACTURED HOMES. OKAY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARK RAUSCHER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. SO SENATE BILL 785 WAS PASSED BY THE THE LAST IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION. AND IT GOES INTO EFFECT THIS COMING SEPTEMBER 1ST. BASICALLY, WHAT IT WHAT IT REQUIRES IS, IS FOR CITIES IN TEXAS TO TO NOT PARTAKE IN DISCRIMINATORY PERMITTING. YOU KNOW, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN'T IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT, YOU CAN'T RESTRICT HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOUSING AND THEN GIVE, YOU KNOW, YOUR TYPICAL BUILD UP FROM SCRATCH, YOU KNOW, HOUSING, JUST FREE REIGN. YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOUSING TO EXIST IN AT LEAST ONE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IN YOUR CITY BY. RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S THE SECOND BULLET IS THE BY RIGHT ZONING. IT DOES PRESERVE LOCAL AUTHORITY IN THAT IT ALLOWS MUNICIPALITIES TO HAVE THE DISCRETION FOR WHERE THEY WANT TO ALLOW HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOUSING. AND SO WE'LL WE'LL GET INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. SO SORRY.

YES, SIR. COULD YOU GO BACK? YES. SO CITIES CANNOT REQUIRE THE SUP AT THE END IF THEY DO NOT REQUIRE ONE FOR OTHER RESIDENTIAL HOUSING. CORRECT. IN THAT ZONING CATEGORY.

CORRECT. RIGHT. SO SO THAT'S CONSIDERED AT LEAST IN ONE CATEGORY IN YOUR CITY. YOU HAVE TO ALLOW MANUFACTURED HOUSING RIGHT BY RIGHT. SOME CITIES HAVE A MANUFACTURED HOUSING PROVISION IN THEIR ZONING ORDINANCE. RIGHT. BUT MY QUESTION THOUGH, IF THEY DO NOT REQUIRE ONE FOR OTHER. SO IF WE HAD REQUIREMENT FOR OTHER RESIDENTIAL HOUSING, ALL HOUSING ZONING CATEGORY. SO IN SF SEVEN ZONING, YOU WOULD HAVE TO REQUIRE EVERY HOUSE TO GET A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR TREATED THE SAME. BUT WE CAN PICK ONE ZONE TO DO THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL OF THEM CAN. OR WE COULD CREATE A MANUFACTURED HOUSING DISTRICT ZONE AND ZONING PIECE OF PROPERTY, MANUFACTURED HOUSING, WHICH I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE CLIENTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE BUILT OUT LIKE YOU. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OLD, WHAT EUPHEMISTICALLY CALLED A MOBILE HOME PARK. AND SO THEY'RE STRUGGLING WITH THIS BECAUSE CITIES BUILT OUT. SO WHAT WE NEED. SO WE'RE STRUGGLING TO FOCUS AND TO FIND AN AREA OR HOMES WHERE THIS MIGHT BE POSSIBLE. THE THE THING YOU THINK ABOUT ON A MOBILE HOME IS IT'S GOT WHEELS AND IT'S DOUBLE WIDE AND GRANDMA'S GOT A SHOTGUN AND THERE'S A DOG TIED TO THE FRONT PORCH, AND THERE'S AN OLD BEAT UP CHEVY PARK. I'M FROM WEST VIRGINIA. I DON'T THINK SO. I'VE EVOLVED. SO THERE'S SUCH THINGS AS WE PROVIDE FOR INDUSTRIAL HOUSING AND MANUFACTURED HOUSING, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE THE HUD STICKER ON THEM. AND WE JUST NEED TO

[00:35:04]

BUT THE STATE ISN'T TELLING US THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET, BECAUSE SOME OF THESE MANUFACTURED HOMES AND THERE'S A PLANT IN LANCASTER. OFF OF 35 WHERE THEY BUILD THEM. AND WHEN THEY COME OUT, THEY'RE LOOKING LIKE MOBILE HOMES. IT'S UP TO THE THE HOMEOWNER TO DECIDE TO ADD THOSE OTHER ELEMENTS THAT MAKE IT LOOK MORE LIKE A TRADITIONAL HOME. BUT THIS LAW WON'T ALLOW US TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE ONES THAT LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE MOTORHOMES.

THEY'RE NOT ON WHEELS. THAT'S A DIFFERENCE. THEY'RE NOT ON WHEELS, BUT THEY STILL REQUIRE A SKIRT AROUND THEM. THEY HAVE TO BE ANCHORED INTO THE GROUND AND SPECIAL DEVICES, BUT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SAY THEY'VE ALL GOT TO LOOK LIKE THE ONES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE PICTURES. YES, SIR. JUST REAL QUICK SO I DON'T HAVE TO ASK YOU LATER, DOES OUR ZONING ORDINANCES REQUIRE CERTAIN LOT COVERAGE AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE? YEAH, WE YES WE DO.

WE HAVE A MAXIMUM OF WHOEVER MEN KNOW. WELL, WE HAVE SQUARE FOOTAGE. WE USED TO HAVE SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENTS, THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE. THERE ARE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH SINGLE FAMILY ZONING AND A LOT COVERAGE. MAXIMUM OF 50% FOR.

OKAY, I DON'T WANT TO BURY THE LEAD, BUT SINCE I'VE ALREADY ASKED THE QUESTION, HAVE WE GIVEN ANY CONSIDERATION ON AS THIS TEMPORARY. I KNOW WE WERE LOOKING AT SOME TEMPORARY MEASURES THAT WOULD HELP US REGULATE AND OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH THIS SENATE BILL. HAVE WE LOOKED AT THAT ALSO AS A REQUIREMENT THAT WE LOOK AT, IS THAT WE WOULD ANY OTHER SINGLE FAMILY IN TERMS OF ENSURING THAT. I KNOW IN YOUR PRESENTATION, I DON'T MEAN TO BE A SPOILER HERE, BUT I KNOW THAT WE TALK ABOUT SETBACKS, SIDE SETBACKS, BUT ALSO AS A MEASURE TO HELP US MANAGE THIS. HAVE WE GIVEN ANY CONSIDERATION TO LOT COVERAGE? SO WE SO OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE TODAY ACTUALLY ALLOWS HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOUSING IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, SO LONG AS THEY ADHERE TO VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, THERE ARE BUILDING CODE PROVISIONS. OKAY. SO TODAY THEY MUST ALREADY IN EXISTING STATE, THEY MUST ALREADY EXIST WITH LOT COVERAGE. OKAY. I JUST WAS WONDERING.

OKAY. YES, YES. YEAH. IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO COME TODAY IN CERTAIN DISTRICTS AND THEY WANTED TO BUILD THIS OR THAT, THEY COULD DO THAT TODAY. OKAY. BUT WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, RIGHT? YES. IN IN YEAH. IN SF 43. OKAY. THAT WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST, SEPTEMBER 1ST. SO OKAY, I GUESS I'LL BACK UP REAL QUICK. JUST A COUPLE DEFINITIONS HERE. YOU KNOW, YOUR OLD SCHOOL MOBILE HOMES THAT WERE ALL A LOT OF US ARE USED TO, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT EXISTED BACK IN, IN THE 70S BEFORE THE FEDERAL HUD CODE WAS ADOPTED.

BUT AFTER THAT, I MEAN, YOU STILL TECHNICALLY HAVE SINGLE WIDES AND DOUBLE WIDES, BUT BUT THOSE HAVE TO ADHERE TO HUD CODE STANDARDS TODAY SINCE 1976. IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE STICKER, IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE STICKER, THEN THEN THEY'RE TECHNICALLY CONSIDERED A MOBILE HOME. BUT I KNOW WE INTERCHANGEABLY, YOU KNOW, USE USE THE DEFINITIONS, BUT HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOMES ARE DISTINCT FEDERALLY REGULATED FORMER RESIDENTIAL HOUSING. THEY HAVE SAFETY STANDARDS, INCLUDING REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION AND FOUNDATIONS AND SO FORTH.

TODAY, AS WE ALREADY JUST TALKED ABOUT, YOU CAN HAVE A HUD CODE, MANUFACTURED HOUSING, AND IN SF 43 DISTRICT BY SUP ONLY. Y'ALL KIND OF SAW THESE PICTURES ALREADY. TECHNICALLY, THIS ONE'S PROBABLY A DOUBLE WIDE BACK HERE. AND THEY BUILT A GARAGE STRUCTURE IN THE FRONT.

BUT THE REST OF THESE ARE KIND OF THAT INDUSTRIAL, YOU KNOW, MODULAR TYPE TYPE HOUSING. AND WE HAVE SOME THINGS. EVEN IF YOU HAD A HUD HOME, YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE A GARAGE. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD A GARAGE, RIGHT? YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A INDUSTRIAL RESULT FOR THAT, LIKE THE ONE YOU SAW IN THE BOTTOM, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PARKING FOR TWO VEHICLES AND A HOUSE YOU BUILD. SO, SO OUR APPROACH, OUR RECOMMENDED APPROACH IN ORDER TO ADHERE TO THE NEW SENATE BILL, IS TO ESSENTIALLY AMEND THE LAND USE TABLE TO REMOVE THE SUP REQUIREMENT FOR HUD CODE MANUFACTURED HOUSING IN SF 43 AND ALLOW IT TO OCCUR BY RIGHT.

[00:40:01]

YEAH. OKAY. YES. SO THERE WOULD ONLY BE ONLY ALLOWED IN SF 43 BY RIGHT BY. RIGHT. OKAY. AND THEN SO QUESTION I HAVE IS WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANYBODY APPLIED FOR AN SUV FOR THIS KIND OF A HOME? NEVER THAT I'M AWARE. YEAH. WE, WE LOOKED THERE, THERE WAS AT LEAST TWO.

I ONLY REMEMBER THE ONE. IT'S IT'S ON WOODHAVEN WHEN YOU WERE WORKING. 20 YEARS, 30, 30. BUT I DON'T I PERSONALLY DON'T REMEMBER IF THERE HAS EVER BEEN ONE. AND THE INDUSTRIALIZED HOUSING, THEY'RE ALL PRE-WIRED PRE PLUMBED. THEY'RE LIKE KITS AND THEY'RE JUST TO SAVE A LOT OF MONEY BUILDING THAT WAY. IF THAT'S YOUR DESIRE. OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SO WE HAVE I SEE THAT YOU HAVE THE. 14 BUT MY UNDERSTANDING AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, ATTORNEY, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING IDENTIFIED BY THE. 14 BY THE 1ST OF SEPTEMBER. WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE STATUTE SAYS. YES. BUT I GUARANTEE YOU THAT 80% OF THE CITIES IN THE STATE HAVEN'T GOT THIS ADDRESSED. OKAY. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM BECAUSE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, BECAUSE MOST OF THE UNITS THAT YOU SEE THAT YOU WOULD THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF A MANUFACTURED HOUSE, WON'T FIT ON A LOT OF LOTS BECAUSE IT CAN'T MEET THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, BECAUSE THE WAY THEY'RE BUILT TOO WIDE, TOO LONG AND THE LOTS ARE TOO SMALL. SO. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY SANCTION. IF WE DON'T WHAT THE RISK IS, WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE RISK RIGHT AWAY. SO THE REST WOULD BE SOMEONE SHOWS UP 43 AND TRIES TO PUT ONE IN WITHOUT AN SUV.

AND IF WE ALLOWED IT, KNOWING THIS IS COMING FORWARD AND POUND FOOLISH, I MEAN THIS SIZE OF THOSE LOTS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO DICTATE SOMEONE TO GO BUY A BUNCH OF THEM AND RENT THEM OUT. I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MANUFACTURED HOMES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE COVERED ALL OF OUR BASES. IF WE ARE INTERESTED, BECAUSE I KNOW CEDAR HILL, ANOTHER CITY, HAS IDENTIFIED A DISTRICT. THEY'VE ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF IT AND IT'S DONE. SO I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT, NUMBER ONE, WE'RE UP AGAINST A TIME CLOCK. NUMBER TWO, THAT COUNCIL IS FULLY INFORMED OF WHAT THE POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS COULD BE AND HOW THIS COULD PLAY OUT LATER ON IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING BY A CERTAIN TIME. SO THAT'S IT, AS LONG AS YOU'RE GOOD. AND I THINK AS LONG AS WE'VE GOT SOMETHING ON THE BOOKS, I THINK WE'LL BE FINE.

OKAY. JUST JUST REAL QUICK. NOT TO SF 43 SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE. YEAH, THAT'S OUR LARGEST RESIDENTIAL. SO SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW ONLY ONE. SO SO WE'RE.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ALL OF THIS. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 43 ACRE LOTS. HOW MANY 43 ACRE LOTS. SINGLE FAMILY LOTS DO WE HAVE IN BENTONVILLE? PROBABLY ABOUT TWO DOZEN. OKAY. MAYBE MAYBE. AND IT'S IT'S THESE HERE. OH, GOSH. SO SORRY. SORRY. OKAY, SO THESE HERE OFF CEDAR HILL ROAD, BUT ALL OF THOSE LOTS ALREADY HAVE LARGE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON IT. AND THEN OVER HERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF COCKRELL HILL, THOSE ALL HAVE LARGE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON THEM. AND THEN THIS IS ALL THORN TREE COUNTRY CLUB RIGHT HERE. THESE ARE FAIRWAYS. OKAY, SO REALLY THE ONLY REAL

[00:45:04]

THANK YOU. THAT. YES, SIR. I, I JUST THOUGHT I'D JUST ASK ABOUT 43. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. OKAY. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. MARK. I APPRECIATE IT, SIR. WE CAN SEE WHERE THIS IS AT THIS

[EXECUTIVE SESSION ]

[4.A. Mayor's Report ]

[00:50:06]

I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO DETAIL. I'M GOING TO LET HIM DO THAT. BUT IT WAS A REAL PROUD DAY FOR DUNCANVILLE TO WATCH THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE FAMILY, RETIREES AND CURRENT OFFICERS COME AND CELEBRATE THOSE PROMOTIONS. SO WE'RE REAL PROUD FOR THAT EVENT. AND LAST THING I'LL TELL YOU IS WE'VE BEEN HAVING THE THE BEST SOUTHWEST LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST SERIES, WHICH TAKES PLACE EACH FRIDAY IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST LAST WEEK WITH DUNCANVILLE DAY. SO WE GOT TO BRAG A LITTLE BIT ON OURSELVES, BUT IT'S IT'S A WORTHWHILE EVENT AGAIN, HELD AT CHARLTON METHODIST, JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ROOM AND IT'S IT'S CENTERED WITH A LOT OF THE SURROUNDING CITIES. SO IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO HAVE THE EVENT. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT BRINGING US UP ALL TO SPEED ON, ON THE LEGISLATION THAT'S HAPPENING. OF COURSE, YOU'RE GETTING PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ON WHAT THAT LEGISLATION MEANS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. BUT OVERALL, IT'S A FAIR AND BALANCED APPROACH TO KEEPING US INFORMED. SO IT'S A VERY WORTHWHILE EVENT. AND FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT CAN MAKE IT, IT'S A REAL BENEFIT.

AND FOR THOSE THAT WORK AND ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT HAPPENS EACH YEAR AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE ON AND HOPE IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO STOP IN, YOU CAN LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN DOWN THE PIKE WITH OUR LEGISLATORS. ENDS

[4.B. Councilmembers' Report]

[4.C. City Manager's Report]

THEY ALSO ALL HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND TALK ABOUT THEIR BOARD, AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE HOW PASSIONATE OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE FOR WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND IN THEIR IN THEIR SPARE TIME, IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY DO FOR THEIR FOR THEIR CAREERS, ETC. SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR DOING THAT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR STAFF. THERE WAS A LOT OF TIME SPENT AT CHIQUITA, HER TEAM, AS WELL AS MANY DEPARTMENTS AND STAFF LIAISONS THAT THAT WERE THERE AND PUT THEIR TIME IN AS WELL. SO JUST WANT TO THANK THEM FOR FOR THEIR WORK ON THAT. AND THEN LAST, I WANT TO SAY, I KNOW WE HAD OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP ON AUGUST 6TH AND IT WAS A, IT WAS A, IT WAS A LONG DAY. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD A FALL ON THE 10TH. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME. IT WAS A IT WAS A LONG DAY AND A LOT OF TIME AND COMMITMENT FOR YOU ALL TO GIVE. BUT WE. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME AND WORK YOU PUT INTO THAT. SO FROM STAFF, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM FIVE.

THERE ARE NO PROCLAMATIONS OR PRESENTATIONS SCHEDULED FOR THIS EVENING. MOVE ON TO ITEM

[6. CITIZENS' INPUT ]

ADDRESS 1326 OAK RUN DRIVE. MY NAME IS DOMINGO SERRATO AND I OPERATE TACOS DE GLORIA, A FAMILY OWNED FOOD TRUCK AT 615 SOUTH MAIN STREET, RIGHT ACROSS CITY HALL. IF Y'ALL HAVEN'T NOTICED IT, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE COME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL ABOUT THESE ISSUES. I FIRST RAISED THEM BACK IN MAY. I'M HERE AGAIN BECAUSE TWO PROVISIONS IN OUR MOBILE FOOD VENDOR ORDINANCE ARE STILL HOLDING BACK FOR A SAFE, GROWING SMALL BUSINESS. FIRST, OUR OPERATING HOURS WERE REQUIRED TO CLOSE BY 10 P.M. CUTTING US OFF FROM DINNER AND LATE NIGHT CROWD THAT KEEPS MANY RESTAURANTS PROFITABLE. STATE LAW HAS ALREADY MOVED ON THIS HOUSE BILL 2844, EFFECTIVE THIS JULY, SHIFTED MOBILE FOOD VENDOR REGULATIONS TO STATE DON'T GIVE US 10 P.M. CUT OFF IS ALREADY OUT OF STEP WITH THAT. I'M ASKING COUNCIL TO PLEASE BRING OUR ORDINANCE IN LINE. SECOND ISSUE IS A LITTLE MORE URGENT, AND IT'S ABOUT SAFETY. OUR ORDINANCE DOESN'T ALLOW US TO CONNECT TO AN ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCE, LIKE A SHORE POWER HOOKUP, WHICH MEANS OUR GENERATOR HAS TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, INCLUDING DURING EXTREME SUMMER HEAT, A GENERATOR RUNNING NONSTOP IN 100 PLUS DEGREE HEAT IS A REAL FIRE AND MECHANICAL FAILURE RISK. OTHER CITIES ALLOW FOOD TRUCKS TO USE AUXILIARY POWER SPECIFICALLY TO REDUCE GENERATOR RUN TIME AND HEAT RELATED FAILURES. I'M ASKING DUNCANVILLE TO PLEASE DO THE SAME. WE'RE FACING OUR RESTRICTION POWER RESTRICTIONS

[01:00:05]

HERE, I'LL ASK THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER REVISING THE CLOSING TIME RESTRICTION TO ALIGN WITH THE STATE LAW, ADDING A PROVISION FOR ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCES AND REVIEWING OUR ORDINANCE OVERALL. SO FOOD TRUCKS ARE REGULATED BASED ON REAL SAFETY NEEDS, NOT TREATED DIFFERENTLY. JUST BECAUSE WE'RE MOBILE. I'M HAPPY TO WORK WITH STAFF ON ANY LANGUAGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. JACK LONG. JACK LONG 13220 WOODHAVEN DRIVE FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS 75234. I'M A PROUD RETIREE OF THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. I SERVE THE CITIZENS OF DUNCANVILLE FOR 31 YEARS. THE LAST 11 YEARS AS CHIEF OF POLICE. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT EXCEPT WHEN I RETIRED. THEN WHAT HAPPENED? THE COLA WAS STOPPED FOR RETIREES. WE GOT THAT SYSTEM BACK ON TRACK THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND I'M HERE TONIGHT JUST TO SIMPLY SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE 269 RETIREES THAT SERVED THEIR CITIZENS HERE IN DUNCANVILLE OVER THEIR CAREERS. I KNOW I HAVE EXPERIENCED HOW DIFFICULT BUDGETS ARE, AND THE 11 THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN, SPECIFICALLY, ALL OF THEM WERE DIFFICULT, DIFFICULT DECISIONS HAD TO BE MADE. A LOT OF THEM YOU WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS, BUT THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THE LEADERS OF THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. SO ON BEHALF OF THOSE 269 RETIREES, THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING THE COLA WITH THE SUPPORT OF TMRS AS THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. UNTIL WE GET TO THE 70% COLA THAT IT WAS WHEN I WAS HIRED IN 1976. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT, AND THAT WAS 50 YEARS AGO THAT I STARTED MY CAREER WITH THE DUNCANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. IT'S LEADERS LIKE YOU THAT HAVE TO MAKE THIS TOUGH DECISIONS. AND AGAIN, JUST REMEMBER THE THE RETIREES ON HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE. FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO PROGRESS WITH THE CITY AND MAKE IT THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. TERRY WEBB. TERRY WEBB 11708 COUNTY ROAD 49, EAST CURRY, TEXAS. FORMER RESIDENT OF DUNCANVILLE SERVED THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE FOR 34 YEARS, LAST NINE AS CHIEF COUNCIL MAYOR, CITY MANAGER. THANK YOU. I THINK JACK SAID IT SIX TIMES IN HIS LITTLE TALK THERE IN TWO MINUTES, BUT I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALSO. BUT IF YOU THINK IT DOESN'T MATTER, WHEN I RETIRED IN 2008, KENT TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FIXING TO GO AWAY, AND SO I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT MUCH THEN. BUT IN THE LAST 17 YEARS, COST OF LIVING HAS GONE UP 55%, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE COLAS FOR A WHOLE LOT OF THAT. SO IT DOES MATTER. $100 IN 2009. IT TAKES $150 TODAY TO HAVE THE SAME SPENDING POWER. SO LOOKING FORWARD, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE SACRIFICES YOU HAVE TO MAKE, BECAUSE, AS JACK SAID, BUDGETS ARE NOT EASY. YOU HAVE TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS. BUT THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THE THE EMPLOYEES, FORMER EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE IT DOES MATTER TO YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES ALSO. AND SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I'LL BE

[01:05:05]

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS CALEB FERGUSON OF 1410 WESTRIDGE DRIVE. I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND IS A PLAGUE ON EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND EVERYONE IN OUR NATION. MASS SURVEILLANCE, AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS HAVE BEEN POPPING UP EVERYWHERE. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 130,000 INSTALLED ACROSS AMERICA. THEY UNCONSTITUTIONALLY TRACK EVERYONE EVERYWHERE THEY GO. NUMEROUS THIRD PARTY INVESTIGATORS HAVE FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY REDUCE CRIME. IN FACT, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, POLICE OFFICERS AND FLOCK EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE USING THESE CAMERAS TO STALK PEOPLE THEY FIND ATTRACTIVE, TRACK PEOPLE OUT OF STATE AS PROBABLE CAUSE AND LOG INTO CAMERAS FACING PARKS AND CHILDREN'S GYMNASTICS CENTERS. THESE CAMERA POLES ARE ALSO DANGEROUSLY INSTALLED. ANY POLE NEXT TO ROADS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE SLIP PLATES OR SOME SORT OF BREAKAWAY. THESE CAMERA POLES ARE HASTILY INSTALLED WITH NO SUCH BREAKAWAY. IN THE EVENT A CAR WERE TO HIT THESE POLES, IT WOULD BE LIKE HITTING A SOLID TREE. EACH CAMERA POLE IS A DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN. THESE ALPERS CLAIM TO BE JUST PLATE READERS, YET THE COMPANIES IN CHARGE OF THEM PROUDLY SHOW OFF HOW THEY CREATE VEHICLE FINGERPRINTS BY NOTING I BY NOTING IDENTIFYING FEATURES SUCH AS DAMAGE AND BUMPER STICKERS. AND THESE ALPR CAMERAS ARE JUST THE START. THESE COMPANIES HAVE BEGUN TO ADD SIGNAL TRACE DEVICES TO THESE CAMERAS. THESE DEVICES READ AND IDENTIFY THE SIGNALS THAT ALL CELLULAR AND BLUETOOTH DEVICES EMIT, AND CAN THIS TIME TRACK YOU WITHOUT LINE OF SIGHT. ORWELL'S 1984 WAS A WARNING, NOT AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL. COUNCIL MEMBERS I AND THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE URGE YOU TO CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT WITH FLOCK SURVEILLANCE, TAKE DOWN ALL THESE CAMERAS AND NOT WRITE UP A NEW CONTRACT WITH A DIFFERENT PROVIDER. WE DON'T WANT FLOCK IN DUNCANVILLE. WE DON'T WANT AXON, GENETEC, LEONARDO, MOTOROLA, NEOLOGY, AND MANY MORE. WE WANT NONE OF THESE.

THESE CAMERAS AND TRACKING DEVICES VIOLATE THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, OUR RIGHT TO UNREASONABLE SEARCHES TO WARRANTLESS TRACK AND LOG WHERE EVERY AMERICAN GOES. AND I'LL END WITH A QUOTE FROM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. THOSE WHO WOULD GIVE UP ESSENTIAL LIBERTY TO PURCHASE A LITTLE TEMPORARY SAFETY DESERVE NEITHER LIBERTY NOR SAFETY. THANK YOU COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL. OKAY, THIS CONCLUDES ITEM SIX. CITIZENS INPUT FOR THIS EVENING.

[7. CONSENT AGENDA ]

MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. THERE ARE NO ACTIONS TO TAKE AS A RESULT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING. SO MOVE ON TO

[8.B. Consider the appointment of five Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee (CPIC) members and a non-voting Councilmember. ]

THEN YOU HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PLANNING AND ZONING, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PARK AND RECREATION BOARD, REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE ARTS COUNCIL, BOARD MEMBER, A LOCAL BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE, A MEMBER OF THE DUNCANVILLE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL. THE INDIVIDUALS HERE TONIGHT THAT ARE ON THERE. DANIEL ZARATE, WHO'S REPRESENTS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

MIKE HOFFMEYER FOR THE THE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, SARAH MITCHELL, WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATIVE. JOHN CRUZ IS LOCAL BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE OR SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. I THINK BOTH CATEGORIES APPLY. AND THEN BETH FARRELL, WHICH IS OUR PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEMBER. AS I MENTIONED, AS WE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, OUR, OUR OUR THOUGHT PROCESS IN ORDER TO LAUNCH THE COMMITTEE IN SEPTEMBER IS TO GO AHEAD AND RECOMMEND APPOINTMENT OF THESE MEMBERS. NOW, THERE'S STILL TWO OTHER MEMBERS THAT DO NEED TO BE APPOINTED A MEMBER FROM THE ARTS BOARD COUNCIL, AND THEN IT COULD BE THAT LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE OR SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. AGAIN, THERE WAS ALREADY A RESOLUTION CREATED. SO TALKING WITH CITY ATTORNEY, IT WOULD BE A POINT BY A MOTION. AND AGAIN, ALSO WE THOUGHT SINCE WE'RE HERE, WE'D ALSO WOULD ASK YOU ALL RECOMMEND WHO YOU ALL WANT IS YOUR NON-VOTING COUNCIL MEMBER REPRESENTATIVE AND APPOINT THAT

[01:10:03]

THANK YOU, MISS GOOD. THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL, I WOULD ASK THAT WE CONSIDER FOR OUR APPOINTED PERSON FROM COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS BEING THAT HE ALSO SERVED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE STEERING COMMITTEE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER PENNEBAKER AND MYSELF. SO HE'S VERY MUCH FAMILIAR WITH IT. AND IT'S LIKE IN HIS BACKGROUND AS WELL. SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

THANK YOU. SO HELP ME OUT HERE. WE THE PRESENTATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THERE'S ACTION TO BE TAKEN. CORRECT. SO WAS YOURS A MOTION OR JUST A RECOMMENDATION? IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION FOR NOW, BUT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO COUNCIL TO HAVE THAT APPROVED THE TO APPROVE THE SLATE OF CANDIDATES AS LISTED. YES. AND WITH THE ADDITION OF COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS. OKAY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. OKAY. I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN COOMBS. MR. MCBURNETT, YOUR LIGHTS ON? YES. THANK YOU. MAYOR. AND, MR. DAVIS, WOULD YOU AGREE TO DO THIS? BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THIS, MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THERE'S THREE RIGHT ON THE END. GOOD. AND DAVIS PENNEBAKER, WHO ALL SERVED. SO YEAH, NO, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DOING THIS. AS YOU KNOW, THE THREE OF US, WE WORKED VERY HARD ON THE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND BEFORE COMING HERE, BEING WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, I WILL I WILL DEFINITELY DO MY BEST TO SERVE AS A AS A CAPABLE COUNCIL LIAISON TO THIS GROUP AS WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO DO IN THE PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, I'M READY TO VOTE MAYOR. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE. WELL, THE. THE MOTION WAS TO. TO APPOINT COUNCILMAN DAVIS, COUNCILMAN DAVIS, AND THEN THE SLATE OF FIVE THAT WE HAVE HERE. BUT WE STILL HAVE, WHAT, TWO MORE POSITIONS THAT WE NEED TO INTERVIEW FOR, CORRECT? YES. THAT'S CORRECT. SO YES, THAT WOULD BE THE MOTION TO APPOINT THE SLATE THAT WE HAVE. AND IN ADDITION TO COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS AND. AND YES, THANK YOU.

AND AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS FOR THE CITY SECRETARY OR FOR MR. ABERNATHY. I KNOW THAT MR. GRACE, MICHAEL GRACE WAS EITHER SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION OR WAS GOING TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AS WELL. WE DID SPEAK WITH WITH MR. GRACE TODAY. HE IS INTERESTED. HE HADN'T APPLIED, BUT WE DID SEND HIM THE LINK. AND I UNDERSTAND HE HAS NOW APPLIED. SO I DON'T MIND ADDING MR. GRACE, CONSIDERING HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMMITTEE AS WELL AS AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE INTERVIEWED HIM FOR TO BE ON THIS THING. HIS BACKGROUND IS PLANNING AND AND KNOWLEDGE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. HE SERVED AS CITY WELL, SO I DON'T MIND ADDING HIS NAME TO THAT LIST.

OKAY. SLATE OF CANDIDATES AS WELL. YOU CAN GET ABSOLUTE CONFIRMATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED HIS SIGNED APPLICATION. YES. OKAY. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO AMEND THE MOTION. SO I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION THAT THE SLATE OF CANDIDATES THAT WERE PREVIOUS LEAGUE GIVEN, MR. DAVIS, IS THAT AND ALSO ADDING MICHAEL GRACE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION. YES, I WOULD AMEND THE MOTION TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER MCBURNETT STATED, MY MOTION TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER MCBURNETT STATED, AND ALSO, IS THAT ACCEPTABLE? YEAH. YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION TO AMEND. YES.

IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE FOR COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT. OKAY, IN A MINUTE. BUT YEAH, WE GOT A. YES, THAT'S THAT'S THE MOTION. JUST FOR THE

[01:15:02]

IT'S BEEN SECONDED. OKAY. OKAY. SO SO NOW I THINK IT'S SAFE TO VOTE. OKAY. PLEASE VOTE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS. OKAY, WE MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT C

[8.C. Consider a Resolution Approving the Arts Commission's Grant Recommendations. ]

OKAY. MR. MR. KUNTZ. THANK YOU. MAYOR, IS THERE POTENTIALLY SOME CONFUSION AS FAR AS THE APPLICANT IS $120,000 FOR A MURAL, MAYBE IS WHERE THEY JUST WERE THEY CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE APPLYING FOR? AND MAYBE THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE AS FAR AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY WERE APPLYING FOR, BECAUSE IT SEEMS RATHER INORDINATE AMOUNT TO REQUEST FOR A MURAL. I DID NOT ■VERIFY WITH THEM IF THEY KNEW, IF THEY WERE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY WERE APPLYING FOR. I MEAN, WAS, WAS, WAS THE APPLICATION CHECKED OFF THE BOX, CHECKED OFF FOR FOR MURAL, THE APPLICATION WAS CHECKED OFF FOR A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT.

AND THEN THE DESCRIPTION WAS BASICALLY DESCRIBING THE OVERALL BUSINESS THAT THE BUSINESS WAS DESIGNED TO SERVE AS A BEAUTIFUL VISUAL GATEWAY. THIS PUBLIC ART ARTWORK WILL CELEBRATE THE SPIRIT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WARMLY WELCOME VISITORS AND RESIDENTS ALIKE TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, WHICH INDICATES THAT IT'LL BE EXTERIOR. BY TRANSFORMING THE EXTERIOR INTO A COLORFUL LANDMARK. THIS PROJECT. SO IT'S IT'S DESCRIBING IT AS AN EXTERIOR MURAL. OKAY, I, YEAH, I CITY MANAGER MAYBE I KNOW WE DON'T, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE THE APPLICATIONS ON HAND, BUT I, I, I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BECAUSE I, YOU HAVE THE APPLICATION, DON'T YOU? I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE IT ON HAND. YEAH, BUT I WOULD JUST BE CURIOUS IF WE COULD GET SOME FEEDBACK AS FAR AS EXACTLY WHAT. BECAUSE AS FAR AS THE, THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS AND WHERE IT'S LOCATED AND EVERYTHING, MAYBE WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO DO DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO WITH MURALS, BUT WOULD LIKE SOME MORE INFORMATION BACK REGARDING THE APPLICATION AND WHAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN DOING.

THEIR APPLICATION, I THINK IS ATTACHED IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT I'M JUST KIND OF GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT IT REAL QUICK TO SEE WHAT ELSE THEY'RE SAYING. ALEX, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO ADD, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY GO GET BACK IN. ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEEDED. THANK YOU. ALSO, MR. HAMBY, IS IT DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF THIS IS EAST FACING? TRYING TO FIND THAT REALLY QUICKLY. TRANSFORMING OUR EXTERIOR INTO A COLORFUL LANDMARK? THEY DON'T REALLY SAY WHICH, AS FAR AS I CAN QUICKLY FIND ANYTHING THAT SAYS THE

[01:20:03]

ALSO, I KNOW WHAT OUR. RULES ARE FOR THE ART COMMISSION, BUT IF IF WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE. THIS IS A GATEWAY, I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE RECONSIDERED. HOW WE AWARD FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. JUST IT'S JUST, AGAIN, A CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. WELL, YEAH, I THINK THEY GAVE IT GREAT CONSIDERATION BECAUSE YOU WENT DOWN FROM 120,000 TO 3000 RECOMMENDED. RIGHT. THEY WENT BASED ON THE POLICY. THEY WENT BASED ON WHAT THEIR POLICY STATES FOR FIRST TIME APPLICANTS FOR THE TYPE OF GRANT THAT HE APPLIED FOR. AND THEY DID. I MEAN, THEY DO GO THROUGH A PROCESS OF, OF TALKING THIS OUT AND TRYING TO DETERMINE THE BEST OPTIONS THAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

OKAY, MISS GOODEN, THANK YOU. MAYOR, WAS THE APPLICANT INTERVIEWED? DID WE SPEAK WITH THE APPLICANT? THE APPLICANT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. SO HE JUST PROVIDED HE DID NOT. YOU CONSIDERED THE APPLICATION AND MADE THE APPROVAL BASED ON WHAT THE APPLICATION STATED? YES.

OKAY. SO ARE WE ASKING THAT WE TABLE THIS ONE TONIGHT AND THEN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE APPLICANT COUNCIL AND THEN RETURN IT BACK FOR APPROVAL? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE ASKING? ARE WE GOING TO APPROVE IT FOR TONIGHT? AND THEN STILL JUST CLARIFICATION, MR. KUNTZ, WERE YOU WERE YOU INDICATING THAT YOU THOUGHT THAT WE NEEDED TO GET SOME CLARITY BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE OFFERING SOMEBODY $3,000, BUT AGAIN, FOR WHAT I BELIEVE WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, I, I THINK AGAIN, THERE'S SOME CONFUSION THAT SO I, I MEAN, I DON'T SEE ANY HARM IN APPROVING IT JUST. BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO COME BACK. OKAY.

WELL, I AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT. AND SEVERAL OTHERS AGREE WITH YOU TO THE EXTENT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT WANT TO HOLD OFF ON THIS ONE. SO AS PART OF THE MOTION TO TABLE IT. AS PART OF THE PROCESS, WHEN AFTER THE ARTS COMMISSION MAKES A DECISION AND THEY'VE MADE THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS, I LET EACH ONE OF THE APPLICANTS KNOW WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION WAS AND WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS. AND I LET THEM KNOW THAT AS PART OF THE POLICY, IF THEY WANT TO ACCEPT OR NOT ACCEPT THE THE GRANT AWARD, I DID RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT THAT SAID HE HAD TALKED TO A COUNCIL MEMBER AND WAS GOING TO HE WAS PURSUING A DIFFERENT PATH AND WOULD GET BACK TO ME. SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A VAGUE RESPONSE, BUT SAID THAT HE WAS PURSUING A DIFFERENT AVENUE AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO RESPOND LATER.

THAT'S CONCERNING TO ME, BUT I'M GOING TO LET THAT GO. AT SOME POINT IN THIS PROCESS, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS TABLE RIGHT NOW. BUT AT SOME POINT IN THIS PROCESS, WE'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS OF APPROVING IT BASED ON THE REVIEW OF WHO'S GOING TO BE ACTUALLY PAINTING OR APPLYING THE PAINT FOR FOR THIS MURAL. WE'LL KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT. I, I MEAN, I, I WOULD AS WE GO THROUGH THE PERMIT PROCESS, I SUPPOSE. SO I GUESS THAT'S WHERE THAT'S KIND OF VETTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE JUST NOT HAVING A HOUSE PAINTER COME UP AND FOR THE FIRST TIME DECIDE HE COULD PAINT CHIPMUNKS AND HAPPY COWS. YES, SIR. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE SECOND. GOT A SECOND BY MR. VERACRUZ.

WE GOT A LIGHT ON BY MR. DAVIS. IF. IF I WILL WITHDRAW MY LIGHT. IF WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH

[01:25:05]

WELL, THE THE ACTION IS TO APPROVE ALL OF THESE TOGETHER. RIGHT. SO. YES, SIR. THE MOTION IS TO AND THAT WE'VE SEEN ALL OF THEM. THERE'S ONE MORE. OKAY. THERE IS TWO MORE. THERE'S TWO MORE. I'LL WITHDRAW MY MOTION. OKAY. OKAY. THE THIRD IS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT.

THE REQUESTED AMOUNT WAS $3,000, AND THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED $3,000. AND I WILL LET THE APPLICANT THE APPLICANT DID SUBMIT A VIDEO FOR THIS. MIND YOUR BUSINESS USES COMEDY, MUSIC AND REAL LIFE SITUATIONS TO GET PEOPLE TALKING, AND A TIME WHERE FAMILIES NO LONGER GATHER AT THE DINNER TABLE. IF WE DO, WE'RE LOOKING DOWN AT OUR PHONES INSTEAD OF AT EACH OTHER. WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS PRODUCTION REMINDS FAMILIES TO COME SIT DOWN, LAUGH, RECONNECT.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES HEALING BEGINS WITH A CONVERSATION, AND MAYBE IT CAN START AT THE DINNER TABLE. AND SO THIS WAS A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT, FIRST TIME APPLICANT. THE ARTS COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND A APPROVING A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000 FOR THIS PLAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE AT THE DUNCANVILLE ISD, DUNCANVILLE THEATER, THE ISD THEATER. AND THEN THE FINAL ONE IS THE BRILLIANCE OF DIFFERENCE. THIS WAS SUBMITTED AS A PUBLIC ART GRANT, WHICH IS THE INTRODUCTION OF REVERSE PAINTING ON PLEXIGLAS ART, WHICH WOULD BE NEW TO DUNCANVILLE. THE COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS. THE APPLICANT REQUESTED $3,000. THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED NOT PAYING OR PAYING $0 FOR THIS ONE, BUT THEY WANTED. AND THEY ASKED ME TO INVITE THE APPLICANT TO REAPPLY BECAUSE THEY NEEDED A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY ON WHAT HE WAS APPLYING FOR. IT WAS NOT CLEAR IN THE APPLICATION, AND THEY DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING WITH A GRANT RECOMMENDATION WITH THIS ONE THE FIRST TIME. OKAY, SO WE HAD FIVE. WE'RE DOWN TO IF WE TABLE THE ONE, WE'RE DOWN TO THREE OR YEAH, YOU'D BE DOWN TO THREE. OKAY. AND LET'S STAY ON THIS ONE FOR A SECOND. I ALWAYS GET CLOBBERED FOR THIS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPOSED LOCATION FOR THIS PUBLIC DISPLAY OF ART MEETS THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS FOR WHEREVER IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE THAT WE'RE ON, REALIZING WE MIGHT SET IT ASIDE RIGHT NOW, I STILL, AT SOME POINT, I WANT I WANT THAT CLARITY ON THAT QUESTION. IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUSINESS, IT'S GOING TO GO INTO PREVIOUSLY, PREVIOUSLY UNUSED LOCATION THAT ALL THE PROPER ZONING. BECAUSE WE RAN INTO THIS WITH THE MUSEUM ON MAIN STREET ON SOUTH MAIN STREET, WHERE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE IN, THEY GOT EVERYTHING READY TO MOVE IN.

AND THEN WE CAME ALONG AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ZONING WASN'T MET, AND THEY HAD TO REFRAIN FROM MOVING IN AND OPERATING FOR SOME TIME. SO I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THAT AGAIN.

SO THIS LOCATION, PROPOSED LOCATION, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S ALL BEEN VETTED BECAUSE I WON'T VOTE TO SUPPORT IT IF I DON'T THINK THEY GOT A HOME TO ILLEGALLY OCCUPY. IS THAT FOR THE MURAL AT KIDS VENTURE? I'M SORRY, OR I'M. NO, I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ONE WE WERE ON THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. WHERE'S THE PROPOSED LOCATION? THAT'S NOT THAT I, I I'M NOT SURE I CAN SAY IT'S INTERIOR ART BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE IF IT WAS A CLASS, IF IT WAS AN EXHIBITION. THE APPLICATION WAS VAGUE ENOUGH THAT THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND APPROVING A GRANT AT ALL. OKAY, BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG WHEN I SAY IT. BUT WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO CLEAR UP THE VAGUENESS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER REPEAT OF THE ONE THAT WE HAD UP THERE. AND I'M NOT BLAMING ANYBODY. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I JUST KNOW IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET THEM IN BECAUSE SOMEONE DIDN'T HAVE THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW, AND I'D RATHER SEE THIS BE SUCCESSFUL. I THINK IT'S A GREAT, A GREAT, DIFFERENT TYPE OF ART, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM GO INTO A BUILDING AFTER WE APPROVE THIS AND THEY GET ALL THE REST OF THEIR APPROVALS, AND THEN WE FIND OUT THE BUILDING THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GO INTO DOESN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS BY ZONING. SO YES, SIR. JUST I, I DID NOTICE IN THE APPLICATION THAT THE, THE, THE LOCATION WAS, WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE APPLICATION AS OLD RAIL STATION. SO THAT'S JUST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YEAH, IT STILL IT STILL TAKES PROPER ZONING. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THOUGH, SO STATION, I KNEW THAT I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SAY THE NAME BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY GOT CLOBBERED FOR THIS ONCE BEFORE, BUT I JUST I'M, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET ZONING RIGHT. THAT'S ALL. SO IT'S NO REFLECTION ON THIS BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. SO WHEN IT COMES BACK, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL HAVE

[01:30:03]

SO THIS IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ARTS COMMISSION'S GRANT RECOMMENDATIONS. SO WHAT? SO IF THEY COME TO YOU AND YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT INFORMATION, IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT YOUR DECISION OR. NO. NO IT WOULDN'T AS LONG AS I KNOW AT SOME POINT IN TIME BEFORE IT BECOMES A PROBLEM, IF IT IS GOING TO BECOME A PROBLEM THAT THE ZONING ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, THAT CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH THE PROPER PEOPLE. BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TOO MANY INSTANCES, IT'S BEEN MORE THAN JUST THE ONE WHERE SOMEBODY HAS MOVED INTO A PLACE AND OPERATED THIS LOCATION. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS OCCUPANCY IN THIS LOCATION AND THERE WAS NO CO. IT WASN'T A ZONING ISSUE. THERE WAS NO CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. SO I DON'T WANT TO BE A DEAD HORSE. BUT I BELIEVE THAT TAKING CARE OF CEOS AND ZONING IS CRITICAL. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMEBODY'S EXCITEMENT TO OPEN A BUSINESS AND THEN HAVE TO GO TO PNC TO GET APPROVAL, AND THEN BACK TO US FOR APPROVAL, AND THEY'RE OUT 2 OR 3 MONTHS. LET'S GET THAT DONE BEFORE WE DO IT. BECAUSE AGAIN, I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT AND I'D HATE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. SO. SO NO, I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I'LL STAND BACK ON THAT. I'VE MADE MY COMMENTS. I'LL GET CLOBBERED AGAIN, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M UP HERE FOR. SO WITH THAT, WE NOW, IF WE CAN QUICKLY REVIEW WHAT THOSE ITEMS THAT WE'RE GOING FORWARD WITH VERSUS THE ONES THAT WILL TABLE AND WE'LL TABLE THOSE BEFORE OR AFTER WE FINISH THIS LIST. OKAY. AFTER AFTER. OKAY, SO I WAS JUST GOING TO CLOSE WITH THE TOTAL REQUESTED AMOUNT WAS $130,000. THE CURRENT AVAILABLE BUDGET FOR ARTS GRANTS IS 36,617. THE ARTS COMMISSION IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF $10,000, WHICH WOULD LEAVE 26,617 AFTER THE ENCUMBER AND AFTER YOUR VOTE TONIGHT, THE ARTS COMMISSION WILL HAVE COMPLETED THEIR FIRST FISCAL YEAR OF ARTS GRANTS.

CONGRATULATIONS! OKAY, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SLATE, MINUS ONE THAT YOU WITHDRAWN. CORRECT. I BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO IS APPROVE THE ARTS COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE KIDS VENTURE MURAL, WHICH YOU WANT TO COME BACK AT SOME POINT, WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE THAT QUESTION, MR. DAVIS. YES. THANK YOU. JUST BRIEFLY, BEFORE WE TAKE THE VOTE, JUST EXPLAIN TO ME, MR. HEMBREE, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. SO IF WE TABLE THIS ONE APPLICATION TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR INTENTION AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING AND ALL THAT GOOD BIT, THEY CAN THEN COME BACK BEFORE THE ARTS COMMISSION, OR WOULD THEY HAVE A NEED TO COME BACK BEFORE THE ARTS COMMISSION, BECAUSE THE ART COMMISSION HAS ALREADY RENDERED A DECISION ON THIS? I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS COULD REAPPEAR IF WE IF WE TABLE IT, HOW WOULD THAT COME BACK? I'M GOING TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU AND SAY THAT YOU HAVE CREATED NEW TERRITORY TO, TO EXPLORE TONIGHT, THE THE ARTS COMMISSION, IN THE END, IS JUST MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.

SO IN THE END, COUNCIL CAN MAKE WHATEVER FINAL DECISION THAT THEY WANT TO ABOUT ANY OF THE ITEMS. SO IF YOU WERE TO CHOOSE TO NOT, NOT GRANT OR NOT APPROVE ONE OF THE GRANTS, SAY YOU WOULD, YOU FOUND THAT A GRANT WAS NOT SATISFACTORY TO WHAT YOU FEEL NEEDS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED. YOU COULD BASICALLY OVERRIDE AND SAY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO APPROVE THAT GRANT IN THAT AMOUNT AS PICKING AN EXAMPLE. NOW, IN THE IN THE EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT, I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW THAT WOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY'RE ABOUT TO START IN SEPTEMBER.

THEIR NEXT APPLICATION CYCLE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WOULD CONSIDER THIS GRANT APPLICATION TO BE A FIRST TIME AGAIN. SINCE HE HASN'T, HE WILL NOT HAVE GOTTEN ONE THROUGH YET. OR IF THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SECOND GRANT APPLICATION, AND THEN WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE POLICY WITH REGARDS TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS. YEAH. AND MY QUESTION NOT NOT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT TO HAVE AN ANSWER JUST TO TO ILLUMINATE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE CREATED SOME NEW TERRITORY HERE TONIGHT THAT I THINK WARRANTS SOME CONSIDERATION. SECOND THING IS THE ARTS COMMISSION'S DECISION TO NOT RECOMMEND A A GRANT AMOUNT FOR THE LAST ONE, WHICH WAS A ZERO RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY CAN COME BACK AGAIN TO THE ART COMMISSION TO REAPPLY BASED ON THOSE REASONS AND THAT FEEDBACK FOR DECLINATION? OR TELL ME A

[01:35:04]

SO IN THE CASE OF THE LAST ONE, AGAIN, THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE APPLICATION WAS CLEAR ENOUGH. AND THEY HAVE THEY ARE TRYING TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH HOT FUNDS. RIGHT. AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY, A WHATEVER THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS TRYING TO PUT HEADS IN BEDS, TRYING TO MEET THOSE QUALIFICATIONS. SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY FELT THAT THE APPLICATION DID NOT PROVIDE A CONVINCING ENOUGH CASE FOR GIVING THEM A GRANT THAT WOULD MEET WHAT THEY HAVE TO MEET AS FAR AS QUALIFICATIONS, HOT FUNDS. SO THEY MADE IT VERY SPECIFIC, MADE A VERY SPECIFIC REQUEST OF ME OF WHEN I LET HIM KNOW, PLEASE, AND TO ALSO INVITE HIM TO REAPPLY TO GET MORE OF THOSE DETAILS, TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER THIS WAS AN EXHIBIT, WHETHER THIS WAS GOING TO BE SOME KIND OF INSTRUCTIONAL, WHAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE SO THAT WE COULD GET IT INTO A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD CONSIDER IT. THANK YOU. LAST QUESTION. WOULD IT BE HELPFUL IF IT'S THE DESIRE OF THIS BODY TO TABLE A RECOMMENDATION THAT HAS COME FROM THE COMMISSION TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME PARTICULARS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IN WORKING WITH THAT APPLICANT, OR IS IT GOING TO BE A SITUATION TO WHERE THEY'LL JUST HAVE TO COME BACK IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, CONSIDERING HOW YOU'VE CONTEMPLATED HOW YOU WAVE OUT YOUR APPLICATIONS WITH THIS, OR IS THAT TOO SOON FOR FOR YOU TO RESPOND TO? WHICH I UNDERSTAND FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE, I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK THROUGH THE DECISION THAT WE REALLY HAVE BEFORE US AND HAVE TEED UP THE ARTS COMMISSION MEETS ONCE A MONTH. THEIR NEXT MEETING IS ALREADY POSTED, SO THAT WOULD PUT THEIR NEXT MEETING WOULD BE SEPTEMBER. THAT'S ALREADY IN THE MIDST OF AN APPLICATION PROCESS THAT'S GOING THROUGH. SO BACKTRACKING, I APOLOGIZE. THE ARTS COMMISSION HAS A CERTAIN GRANT SCHEDULE. IF YOU WERE TO DO THIS, IT WOULD BE NEW, BUT I'M SURE THAT WE COULD GET IT BACK ONTO IN FRONT OF THEM IN SEPTEMBER. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MR. LOTS OF LIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE A WHILE. MR. DAVIS. YOU WANT TO TURN YOURS OFF? THANK YOU, MR. MACK BURNETT. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS MADE SOME GOOD POINTS. I THINK ALSO, MR. HAMBY, WE'VE HAD CASES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AWARDED AND THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT IT. OKAY.

SO I THINK WE'VE HAD SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE AS WELL TOO. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD PROBABLY AGREE. NOW THAT WE GO AHEAD AND MAKE FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE ARTS FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION, I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION THAT WE THAT WE DO THAT. MAKE THE MOTION, THAT WE APPROVE. SECOND, THAT WE APPROVE THE SLATE OF THE SLATE, THE ENTIRE SLATE. YES, SIR. HOW MANY? THEREFORE, THERE ARE FOUR. YES. OKAY. SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND TO TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ENTIRE SLATE, PLEASE VOTE. ALL THAT AND LOOK IT. GREEN LIGHTS.

THANK YOU. OKAY, NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE. STAFF AND BOARD REPORTS. A

[9.A. Receive the Financial Report as of June 30, 2026. ]

JENNIFER ODIE, ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR. I'M HERE TO DELIVER THE FINANCE REPORT AS OF THE END OF JUNE. ALL RIGHT. SO JUNE IS OUR THIRD QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT. NINE MONTHS GONE ALMOST. AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. WE STARTED A BRAND NEW ONE HERE PRETTY SOON. SO NINE MONTHS INTO THE YEAR, IT GIVES US A TARGET OF $0.75, 75%, ROUGHLY IN TERMS OF WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IS OUR LITTLE GAS GAUGE HERE. THIS WILL TAKE US RIGHT INTO THE OPENGOV PLATFORM. BUT JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT CURRENTLY FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE OR THROUGH THE MONTH OF JUNE, WE'VE COLLECTED 75 MILLION IN REVENUES AND EXPENDED 67 MILLION IN EXPENDITURES. SO TAKE US RIGHT INTO OPENGOV. ALL RIGHT. AS A REMINDER FOR THOSE OPENGOV IS AVAILABLE 24 OVER

[01:40:01]

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO HEADING INTO THE GENERAL FUND, WE'VE COLLECTED 37 MILLION TO DATE. MOST OF THAT IS PROPERTY TAX. BUT AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, OF COURSE, THE THE PROPERTY TAXES HAVE MOSTLY COME IN. AND SO IT'S REALLY ALL OF THE OTHER DIFFERENT REVENUE SOURCES THAT WE'RE COLLECTING AT THIS TIME, SPECIFIC REVENUES THAT WE'RE COLLECTING THAT ARE AHEAD OF OUR PROJECTION. AND UP IN QUARTER THREE. SO EMS COLLECTIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ARE ABOVE OUR PROJECTION. THERE PERMITS AND LICENSING IS AN AREA WHERE WE ARE GETTING MORE REVENUE THAN OUR PROJECTION, OUR BUDGETED PROJECTION ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, HERE'S A NICE LITTLE CHART THAT BREAKS IT DOWN BY DEPARTMENT. AGAIN, ABOUT 50% OF OUR BUDGET IS BETWEEN POLICE AND FIRE. GENERAL FUND EXPENSES ARE 68% TO DATE. SALARY AND BENEFITS ACCOUNT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THOSE EXPENDITURES. AND AGAIN, WE CAN ALWAYS DRILL DOWN BY CLICKING THE VIEW REPORT AND YOU CAN DRILL DOWN INTO THE DEPARTMENT. YOU CAN DRILL DOWN INTO THE PARTICULAR EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE TYPE, JUST GENERAL FUND BALANCE. RIGHT NOW WE'VE ALREADY MADE A TRANSFER, AS YOU KNOW, IN FY 26, A 4.1 MILLION. SO THIS LEAVES A PROJECTED FUND BALANCE TO BE AT 150 DAYS. MOVING INTO THE UTILITY FUND, WE HAVE COLLECTED 65% OF OUR REVENUE. AGAIN, WE'RE ONE MONTH BEHIND WITH THE BILLING CYCLES. EXPENSES ARE AT 66% OF THE BUDGET. AND AGAIN, HALF OF OUR BUDGET GOES TO DALLAS WATER UTILITIES AND TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY. SO OUR TOTAL EXPENSES TO DATE FROM THOSE TWO CATEGORIES ALONE IS 8.1 MILLION.

YOU CAN SEE THE THE LITTLE BAR GRAPHS HERE OF HOW THAT BREAKS DOWN BETWEEN THE TWO T, R A AND DALLAS WATER UTILITIES. MOVING ON TO THE DRAINAGE FUND, OF COURSE, THIS IS OUR STORMWATER FUND. WE HAVE COLLECTED 84% OF THE BUDGET TO DATE, AND WE'VE EXPENDED 46% OF THE BUDGET TO DATE. THIS FUNDS ONE STREET MAINTENANCE CREW CURRENTLY, AND ALSO THE CIP PROJECTS FOR STORMWATER RELATED PROJECTS. AND IT COVERS STREET SWEEPING. SANITATION FUND IS OUR GARBAGE FUND. WE'VE COLLECTED 68% TO DATE AND EXPENDED 65%. AGAIN, THIS COVERS OUR GARBAGE CONTRACT, OUR LANDFILL CONTRACT, AS WELL AS COVERS FOR LITTER CONTROL CREW MEMBERS. ON THE FIELD HOUSE OUR REVENUES RECEIVED TO DATE. SORRY, THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ARE IS 67% AND OUR EXPENDITURES TO DATE ARE 69%. AGAIN, REVENUES CAN CAN VARY IN THE YEAR DEPENDING ON THEIR LARGER TOURNAMENTS AND WHAT TIME OF YEAR THOSE TOURNAMENTS TAKE PLACE. THE MONTH OF JULY AND AUGUST. WE'LL SEE A HIGHER REVENUE COLLECTION BECAUSE OF THE AFTER SCHOOL OR AFTER THE SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM. HOTEL MOTEL TAXES, OUR OCCUPANCY TAX THAT WE COLLECT FROM THE AREA HOTELS. YEAR TO DATE, WE'VE COLLECTED 53% AND WE HAVE EXPENDED 45%. AND OF THAT, OF COURSE, A PORTION, AS YOU KNOW, GOES TOWARDS THE ARTS FUND. I DO TRANSFER THAT QUARTERLY ONCE THE REVENUES ARE IN FROM THE COLLECTIONS. AND THEN THIS JUST SHOWS YOU A TABLE OF THE VARIOUS HOTEL MOTEL GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED WHERE THEY'RE AT EXPENDITURE WISE. WHAT'S STILL REMAINING IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEEN OBLIGATED, AS WELL AS FIELD HOUSE PROJECTS, BECAUSE WE DID FUND SOME FIELD HOUSE PROJECTS IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

SO THESE ARE THE EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED AND PAID FOR FROM HOTEL, MOTEL AND FROM THE FIELD HOUSE FUND. SO WE HAVE PAID 226,000 TO DATE ON HOTEL MOTEL GRANTS. AND WE

[01:45:05]

FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. OKAY, NOW WE MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE. B STAFF BRIEFING ON

[9.B. Staff briefing on the Purchase and Assignment Agreement for the DCEDC's ownership interest in Main Station, Ltd.]

[01:50:02]

AND IF IF THE BOARD SEES FIT TO AUTHORIZE THE PRESIDENT TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER, WE'LL PROCEED WITH THAT TRANSACTION AND WE'LL SHAKE HANDS. AND HOPEFULLY THAT PROPERTY CONTINUES TO TO BE AN ASSET IN THE COMMUNITY. WANT TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK? IF I CAN ANSWER ANY? MR. DAVIS? THANK YOU, MR. GOLF, FOR THAT PRESENTATION. IT HARKENS ME BACK TO MY DAYS SERVING ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HERE, WHEN WE DEFINITELY WERE WANTING TO SEE HOW BEST WE COULD PURSUE. I THINK YOU'VE COLORED IT AS A REDEMPTION OPPORTUNITY TO, FOR, TO FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. AND SO I THINK THAT LET ME ASK WHAT, IN MOVING THIS DIRECTION, WHAT ADDITIONAL BEYOND THE THE COUPLE PENNIES AND NICKELS THAT WOULD GO BACK INTO THE EDC TO THE CDC, WHAT WOULD THIS ALSO FREE YOU ALL ABLE TO DO? JUST KIND OF COULD YOU JUST TALK OPERATIONALLY BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A POSITIVE DIRECTION IN THE A POSITIVE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. COULD YOU JUST GIVE US A HIGHLIGHT ON, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS WOULD THEN BETTER HELP FACILITATE ANY OF YOUR OTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, VISION AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MORE, YOU KNOW, LIMITED ONCE BEFORE. SO I'LL START WITH SAYING THAT THE THOUGHT WAS THAT, OKAY, WE UNDERSTAND WHY WAY BACK WHEN WE MADE THE INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP, THE MARKET CONDITIONS THAT NECESSITATED US TAKING THIS POSITION, THE PROPERTY STABILIZED, RIGHT. AND THIS OPTION HAS BEEN AVAILABLE TO EITHER THE PARTNERS REALLY FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS. THIS CURRENT BOARD JUST SAW FIT THAT THE TIMING WAS WAS GOOD FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, LIQUIDATE OUR INVESTMENT INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY AND THEN HAVE THAT MUCH MORE AVAILABLE TO DEPLOY TO OTHER PROJECT AREAS OR OPPORTUNITIES, WHETHER IT BE IMPLEMENTING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OTHER STRATEGIC REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS THAT WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR. SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION FOR US WALKING DOWN THIS PATH. IT JUST, YOU KNOW, TOOK THIS AMOUNT OF TIME NEGOTIATING WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER TO KIND OF GET SOME AGREEMENT THAT WE COULD PROPOSE FOR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU SIR. FOR THE LIGHTS. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS FOR THIS EVENING. SO WITH THAT, AT 9:35 P.M. WE ARE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. EIGHT.

EIGHT. NO. WELL, LET'S WAIT ANOTHER HOUR. IT WON'T WORK. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. YEAH.
