1
00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:09,610
I see that you are all veterans of our meeting and know that we start with our pledge, so thanks for

2
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:15,430
understanding we will begin with our pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United

3
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:23,050
States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible,

4
00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:32,650
with liberty and justice for all. Thank you for coming. I can't, I can hardly wait to

5
00:00:32,650 --> 00:00:37,050
this point to acknowledge the great success of our world fast. And Barbara

6
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:41,490
standing there in the back and can't go another than Barbara without commending you

7
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:45,750
and the entire Addison team and all the folks that come together to make that

8
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:49,450
really very special event happen. So thank you.

9
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,800
And I'm not done with that

10
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,760
because I really think that event, well next year is going to be our fifth

11
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,620
year anniversary, has a very short period of time become a real identifier

12
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:10,440
consistent with our attitude brand in a special way and each year you made it

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,240
better and I know next year we'll be consistent with that about it earlier in

14
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,060
the day and he had a phrase that I think really epitomizes it. He said we're

15
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:24,200
known by the company we keep and if that's the case based on the folks

16
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,580
that were there at our world best we're doing really well and we're

17
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:33,360
well-known in the right places and celebrating diversity is certainly one

18
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,340
one of our core values of the entire organization and there is no better corner and I wanted

19
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:44,160
to share with the council and with the folks here and at home a couple of events that really

20
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:50,640
highlighted that. Aside from the obvious Saturday event, one of the things right after our

21
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,060
Saturday morning greeting with an incredible array of dignitaries that included a king

22
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,740
and various council representatives from literally around the world, the folks

23
00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:09,020
from Morocco took me to Morocco and asked, there it was, recreated right down to the

24
00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:13,080
not only the vendors but the artisans that were there doing their thing. It was really

25
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,280
impressive and they presented to me really to the whole town this beautiful representation

26
00:02:18,730 --> 00:02:23,480
of the work that's done and it has a little label on the bottom that says Native Morocco.

27
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:28,920
But it was so cool to just be there and see the folks that were participating and

28
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,640
and recognized the texture and culture of not only Morocco,

29
00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:34,300
but all those folks working here.

30
00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:36,880
Then Friday and Saturday night, unfortunately,

31
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,140
not this matter to be invited to a couple events,

32
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,800
the Turkish folks that have been longtime supporters

33
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
and big champions along with Morocco

34
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,960
of our World Fest event,

35
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,080
had an event Friday night at our Crown Plaza.

36
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,800
And I attended on behalf of the town

37
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,620
and sat right with the Turkish ambassador

38
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,620
and a congresswoman in the head

39
00:02:56,620 --> 00:03:00,880
of the Department of Foreign Affairs for the Council for, I'm sorry, the Congress,

40
00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:07,820
United States Congress, Florida, and Florida for this event. And right there, all of us together,

41
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,800
and what was going to be an evening of celebration, was somewhat tempered by the news that there

42
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,600
had been a terrorist attack during Turkey, of course this was before the horrible earthquake.

43
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:23,340
But it was amazing to be here in Addison, Texas, and be at the center of an international

44
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:30,160
event happening right here that we're hosting. And then Saturday night, after a day at World

45
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,760
War II, I was invited by a new group of people that formed an organization, an alumni organization

46
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,700
from Gandhi University. And they celebrated the birth, literally the birth of their alumni

47
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:47,360
organization. Again, it's a crown of applause for Saturday night in Addison, Texas. And

48
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,300
it just struck me in such a way that frankly, all the years have been around Addison,

49
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,760
And it never really struck me the same as it has this weekend,

50
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,320
what an international city we are in,

51
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,240
and what an opportunity we have, frankly,

52
00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:00,200
from an economic devolved example,

53
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:03,820
to take the position that we have in the marketplace.

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040
It gives Orlando and our entire organization

55
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,040
new credibility to work within that environment and gain

56
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,500
lots of traction and identify ourselves

57
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,260
in the real positive way and part of our brand.

58
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:18,280
So I really wanted to share that with the whole organization

59
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:21,260
I should commend Ron and Barbara and the whole staff

60
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:23,160
for helping establish that foundation.

61
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:25,880
And hopefully for a lot of years, we're

62
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,500
able to build on and continue to improve and enhance

63
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,040
that burden of attitude and especially.

64
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,620
So thank you for giving us that opportunity, Barbara.

65
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:34,160
My pleasure.

66
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:34,760
Appreciate that.

67
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:35,360
Thank you.

68
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,180
OK, with that, a couple other quick announcements.

69
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,620
This weekend is going to be a busy weekend.

70
00:04:44,060 --> 00:04:46,320
We have a Saturday full of fun things,

71
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,600
is beginning with 9.30 in the morning.

72
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,220
The Arbor Foundation is gonna have an event

73
00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:55,020
over the Bush School, hosted to race and money

74
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,620
for our landscape projects that are over there.

75
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,940
And the Dirt Doctor, one and only Howard Garrett

76
00:04:59,940 --> 00:05:00,940
will be there to speak.

77
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,920
And they're selling tickets

78
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,040
and that's an opportunity for us to participate.

79
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,160
And then that afternoon,

80
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:08,780
our Murrio and Addison Fire Department

81
00:05:08,780 --> 00:05:10,660
is hosting their annual open house.

82
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,840
You'll see some pink t-shirts here.

83
00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:14,420
Maybe council members even talk to you

84
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:15,440
wearing those on Saturday.

85
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,140
And they're going to celebrate that with a bounce house,

86
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,900
all sorts of fun things and demonstrations.

87
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,120
And it's an opportunity that I like to encourage

88
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,320
our town residents to come by and thank the men and women

89
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,280
of our first responders units, both fire and police,

90
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,160
for what they do.

91
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:36,720
And frankly, just as important, what they're willing

92
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,680
to do literally for us every day.

93
00:05:38,860 --> 00:05:40,620
And we really appreciate you.

94
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,060
So it's an opportunity for us to have some fun

95
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:47,120
to thank those first responders and John was telling me right before we got

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
started he wanted to make a comment about that but we could tie it back into

97
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,240
that since it's an agenda item and before we get our city attorney out of his

98
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,920
chair it is tied to this city this agenda item John if you wanted to make a

99
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,260
mention of an event. Well in addition to the open house I just wanted to

100
00:06:03,260 --> 00:06:08,880
share with the council and the manager that this evening around 4.30 the report of

101
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,340
unconscious person at one of our retail vendors on Inwood Road.

102
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,860
When we got there, we had a 45-year-old that was in cardiac arrest, and our troops,

103
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,980
including our young firefighter visiting tonight, rendered aid to him,

104
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,380
and successfully resuscitated him through early defibrillation and drug therapy.

105
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:30,900
He was kind of spontaneous pulse and respirations, and was talking by the time he left the hospital,

106
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,040
so it was a cardiac arrest day. And that's actually our third save this year.

107
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,020
Well done.

108
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:35,680
Thank you.

109
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,500
That's literally in the business of setting lives, and we really appreciate you.

110
00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:46,820
Thank you.

111
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:48,380
Thank you very much.

112
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,300
And on Sunday, the fun continues within the afternoon.

113
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,500
We have our Halloween bash, and I believe that's from 4 to 6 in the afternoon on Sunday.

114
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,080
And I think some of the council members have volunteered to do the...

115
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,320
I'm not sure what it's called.

116
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Trunk or Treat.

117
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:05,120
Trunk or Treat.

118
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:05,980
Thank you, Kimberly.

119
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:10,420
truck retreat judges of that so that'll be fun I think that occurs about five

120
00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:14,780
parties so residents and family members can show up and we'll have some

121
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:19,800
holiday fun. I'm sure I'll leave something else Mr. Roy here. Well we I have a couple

122
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,900
of things Mayor that first of all on Wednesday the 2nd of November is our

123
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:32,200
health fair and that's when the residents can get flu shots and so you

124
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:39,460
online I believe and get that information at the health fair. On the 10th we're

125
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:44,820
having our tailgate party here at Town Hall in the parking lot for United Way

126
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:54,580
so we'll be cooking and judging so before and then on the 17th is

127
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,580
and that should be on everyone's agenda.

128
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,140
And I would, I'd like to ask Barbara, if you don't mind Mayor,

129
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:10,820
to go through our revised schedule on our art and wine stroll

130
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:13,360
and our opening of the Tribune Park

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,980
since we're anticipating the rural weather Wednesday and Thursday.

132
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:18,280
Right, thank you.

133
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Mayor, I'm excited to tell you about our events that we have planned

134
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,340
to celebrate the grand opening of the Provinger Park in Addison.

135
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440
Not sure if other Nages or friends of the Texas Rangers are not,

136
00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:35,480
because we had the event starting Thursday evening with our free event for residents to come out and

137
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:42,120
see the park through an art and light show, free apple cider and tomato vests and art and light,

138
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:45,780
but with the inclement weather projected to come in tomorrow and Thursday,

139
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,040
we have canceled the Thursday evening art and wine stroll,

140
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:56,600
and anybody who has purchased a ticket for the wine and food hearings can redeem those tickets on Friday.

141
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,740
The activities are still happening from 7 to 11 on Friday.

142
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:04,480
So we'll have great food and wine, parents from chambers, restaurants, art and light display,

143
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,320
some art for sale, and then some cider and some tomato vests for the residents to enjoy.

144
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,720
You can still purchase tickets, advance $35 in advance, $45 at the door,

145
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,540
but every Addison resident will get a $5 discount.

146
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,020
And Richard Chamberlain's also raffling off anybody who buys the tickets online will be

147
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:28,280
registered to win two tickets to our two, dinner for two of this restaurant.

148
00:09:28,940 --> 00:09:33,180
And so we're kind of just shifting the Thursday evening, free event for Friday evening only.

149
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:38,680
But he's also hosting what's called Element, which is a pop-up restaurant at Petruvian

150
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:38,900
Park.

151
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:43,120
It was scheduled to be on the observation desk out there at Vitruvian Park.

152
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,140
But because the weather will be inclement on Thursday and a little chilly on Friday,

153
00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:53,280
we have moved that into a retail space at Vitruvian Park that overlooks this space,

154
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,240
so that's still doing well. They are almost sold out.

155
00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:59,880
They have a few more tickets left. We can see it about 128 per night,

156
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,820
and we're at about 100 per night right now with that.

157
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:07,420
So it's a unique dunny experience, a unique menu, so I encourage everybody to come out.

158
00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:14,900
And then we did have Thursday evening a real estate reception to introduce the park to the real estate community.

159
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:20,680
We also wanted to put our best foot forward and didn't think that Thursday night in the rain would be the best time to do that.

160
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:25,140
So we are moving that event to Friday afternoon from 11 to 1.

161
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,080
Still being the same location, still the same format.

162
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,280
They're at the Broadway Petroleum Park.

163
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,040
So that's kind of an update on the events to celebrate the opening of our newest park.

164
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,060
Okay, I'm going to volunteer for the pop quiz to see if I can get it right.

165
00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:44,640
Friday, 11 to 1 for the development community at Petruvi.

166
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:52,400
Friday evening from 7 to 11, there will be a free event for all Addison residents

167
00:10:53,180 --> 00:10:57,220
and an optional wine and stroll where they get a discounted ticket.

168
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,960
And then Thursday and Friday night, Richard Chamberlain is having his event,

169
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,980
which is a payment and that will be inside and not outside but right there in the same location.

170
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:10,820
Okay.

171
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Alright, anything else on that?

172
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,900
Mayor, I'd like to introduce, well, not on that event, I think.

173
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:25,380
Like I said, we're flexible if nothing else because that's what we've learned from this year

174
00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:28,660
and the weather and Barbara's folks are incredible.

175
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:30,140
I don't know how they put up with it.

176
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,320
Anyway, that's where we are.

177
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,180
Okay, nice.

178
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:39,190
Mayor, I have two employees that I'd like to introduce to you.

179
00:11:39,290 --> 00:11:43,030
The first one is Clint Kujae that's in the back, Clint.

180
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:47,490
He is one of Addison's newest employees,

181
00:11:47,690 --> 00:11:53,070
as he just started his career with the fire department on September 26th.

182
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:57,270
He's certified as a firefighter in the paramedic.

183
00:11:57,270 --> 00:12:04,630
Before joining our team, Clint worked as a firefighter paramedic with the Hillsborough Fire Rescue for almost two years.

184
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:09,850
He is from West Texas, okay, the city west.

185
00:12:10,690 --> 00:12:16,810
He attended MacLennan Community College. He is an outdoor enthusiast.

186
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:21,990
He likes hunting, fishing, camping, four wheeling, and spending time with his family and friends.

187
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:28,290
He goes by Kujo and is not married or dating at this time, just to catch your interest.

188
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:34,410
So, as I mean, he needs to step out of here with the camera.

189
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:38,330
He's on TV, he's okay.

190
00:12:39,090 --> 00:12:40,910
So, please welcome Clint.

191
00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:55,470
The second person is Jason Beans.

192
00:12:59,540 --> 00:13:04,200
Jason has been employed by the town of Addison since November of 2004.

193
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:10,460
He currently works in the criminal investigation division as a computer forensic investigator

194
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:12,940
and also a member of our SWAT team.

195
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:20,380
He's owned the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force, and prior to entering the

196
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:26,320
law enforcement profession, Jason worked for Goldstein Production as a camera operator

197
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:26,780
editor.

198
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:33,160
Jason graduated from Austin College in Sherman with a double major in art and communications.

199
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:40,760
He and his wife, Brandy, have two children, Jocelyn Ford and Raleigh, that's one-years-old.

200
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:50,940
And I think most people don't realize how much crime there is as regards to the electronic

201
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:52,780
side of things.

202
00:13:53,060 --> 00:14:01,520
And Jason, we bring a unique sort of offering with what we do with Jason, and it's really

203
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,820
a great service to our business community, so I really appreciate chasing what he does.

204
00:14:06,140 --> 00:14:06,600
Thank you, Jackson.

205
00:14:12,390 --> 00:14:13,150
That's all I have.

206
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:15,090
Okay, let's jump into our agenda.
