attorney. Good evening. My

name is Nicole Collier.

483
00:21:45,761 --> 00:21:46,696
Represent House district 95. I

484
00:21:46,696 --> 00:21:49,960
was on the Appropriations

485
00:21:50,399 --> 00:21:50,967
Committee in the Texas

486
00:21:50,967 --> 00:21:52,435
Legislature. And one of the

487
00:21:52,435 --> 00:21:53,200
things that we look at besides

488
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,905
funding a lot of the state

489
00:21:55,905 --> 00:21:56,572
agencies that do so many

490
00:21:56,572 --> 00:21:59,572
important things is looking at

491
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:01,177
investing in community

492
00:22:01,177 --> 00:22:01,744
resources. The Texas state

493
00:22:01,744 --> 00:22:05,248
parks has been around for a

494
00:22:05,248 --> 00:22:05,948
100 years. And so we

495
00:22:05,948 --> 00:22:07,948
celebrated our Centennial

496
00:22:11,354 --> 00:22:13,560
anniversary in 2023. That is

497
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:13,656
not all that Texas with in

498
00:22:13,656 --> 00:22:16,192
terms of the park's. We make

499
00:22:16,192 --> 00:22:20,392
it a point to invest and those

500
00:22:21,197 --> 00:22:21,764
resources that create spaces

501
00:22:21,764 --> 00:22:24,367
that are inclusive for all

502
00:22:24,367 --> 00:22:26,469
people. Our parks are places

503
00:22:26,469 --> 00:22:28,869
that are welcoming that

504
00:22:30,273 --> 00:22:32,673
provide the outdoor. Resources

505
00:22:33,576 --> 00:22:36,576
and health benefits. They are

506
00:22:36,613 --> 00:22:37,814
economic wounds to our

507
00:22:37,814 --> 00:22:41,284
economy. They are a boon to

508
00:22:41,284 --> 00:22:42,252
our economy. And they provide

509
00:22:42,252 --> 00:22:44,754
safe spaces, fun places for

510
00:22:44,754 --> 00:22:45,355
people in the community to

511
00:22:45,355 --> 00:22:48,391
come together and what I love

512
00:22:48,391 --> 00:22:51,391
about our parks is that

513
00:22:51,528 --> 00:22:54,528
they're open to all people.

514
00:22:55,464 --> 00:22:56,990
And so today I want to present

515
00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:58,201
some funding that has been set

516
00:22:58,201 --> 00:22:58,735

house district 95. We have a

519
00:23:14,150 --> 00:23:15,952
check for 1 million dollars.

520
00:23:15,952 --> 00:23:16,585

529
00:23:31,702 --> 00:23:32,302
hopefully the city can take

530
00:23:32,302 --> 00:23:34,304
the money that you were going

531
00:23:34,304 --> 00:23:34,771
to use for this and

532
00:23:34,771 --> 00:23:36,771
reallocated for other

533
00:23:37,774 --> 00:23:38,575
resources in in the city. But

534
00:23:38,575 --> 00:23:41,575
hopefully this can lessen that

535
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,515
burden and be a benefit to all

536
00:23:45,515 --> 00:23:45,982

577
00:26:54,773 --> 00:26:58,373
Jen at first as Bob Willoughby

578
00:27:09,554 --> 00:27:11,954
followed by Chris wood.

579
00:27:23,735 --> 00:27:25,337
>> If you get up or being see

580
00:27:25,337 --> 00:27:25,938
it or not, it don't really

581
00:27:25,938 --> 00:27:29,208
matter too much water. It is

582
00:27:29,208 --> 00:27:30,175
part of our agenda here. It's

583
00:27:30,175 --> 00:27:30,743
kind part on. There were talks

584
00:27:30,743 --> 00:27:33,743
about the ccpd ponds match

585
00:27:35,981 --> 00:27:36,982
requirements. Now. The problem

586
00:27:36,982 --> 00:27:37,650
of the match requirements is

587
00:27:37,650 --> 00:27:38,183
that you all just put that in

588
00:27:38,183 --> 00:27:38,784
a few years ago people to

589
00:27:38,784 --> 00:27:41,784
discuss that with the public

590
00:27:43,556 --> 00:27:44,423
that we would said no.

591
00:27:44,423 --> 00:27:45,570
>> No, free. Ken, what a

592
00:27:45,570 --> 00:27:46,291
match. That means they get all

593
00:27:46,291 --> 00:27:49,827
the money they wall as long as

594
00:27:49,827 --> 00:27:50,329
someone matches it from these

595
00:27:50,329 --> 00:27:50,930
charities that are not

596
00:27:50,930 --> 00:27:53,330
trustworthy bet on commercial

597
00:28:04,376 --> 00:28:08,576
funding. Was a fast men and a

598
00:28:11,183 --> 00:28:11,784
half. The faa's you're only

599
00:28:11,784 --> 00:28:14,184
$300,000, which was too much

600
00:28:14,754 --> 00:28:15,354
to people. They gave it to.

601
00:28:15,354 --> 00:28:17,856
And that way because I didn't

602
00:28:17,856 --> 00:28:18,424
know what to do with We needed

603
00:28:18,424 --> 00:28:19,580
audit on the ccpd funds. We

604
00:28:19,580 --> 00:28:19,692
were to get an audit on the

605
00:28:19,692 --> 00:28:20,659
sea city be funds. Millions of

606
00:28:20,659 --> 00:28:24,259
dollars are given out. The cbs

607
00:28:24,296 --> 00:28:24,897
might go on. This will be one

608
00:28:24,897 --> 00:28:25,497
of the biggest scams in the

609
00:28:25,497 --> 00:28:28,497
United States. Iran should be

610
00:28:28,567 --> 00:28:29,101
a partner with them debit

611
00:28:29,101 --> 00:28:31,237
Carlos, you're the chair.

612
00:28:31,237 --> 00:28:31,837
You're laughing. But you ran

613
00:28:31,837 --> 00:28:32,438
away. You won't take an open

614
00:28:32,438 --> 00:28:34,273
question about this year. The

615
00:28:34,273 --> 00:28:37,873
chair of it. Small. I've asked

616
00:28:38,577 --> 00:28:39,145
you about this money. Actually

617
00:28:39,145 --> 00:28:42,145
got over a million dollars.

618
00:28:43,249 --> 00:28:44,684
Rodney next con a gang member.

619
00:28:44,684 --> 00:28:45,251
Yeah. $800,000. I saw him

620
00:28:45,251 --> 00:28:48,251
people's meeting. I got the

621
00:28:48,855 --> 00:28:49,489
meeting. We came up and after

622
00:28:49,489 --> 00:28:52,592
talking to him, I realize he's

623
00:28:52,592 --> 00:28:54,694
not capable to have money.

624
00:28:54,694 --> 00:28:55,328
There's not qualify. I've been

625
00:28:55,328 --> 00:28:57,597
business on our for the Dallas

626
00:28:57,597 --> 00:28:59,997
Cowboys 30 years. A no

627
00:29:01,734 --> 00:29:03,336
business also had limits 96

628
00:29:03,336 --> 00:29:03,937
and 25% of the Super Bowl work

629
00:29:03,937 --> 00:29:05,972
business. He doesn't know you

630
00:29:05,972 --> 00:29:07,406
can $800,000 the commission

631
00:29:07,406 --> 00:29:11,600
and we don't know where it's

632
00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:14,447
going. So to audit. So before

633
00:29:14,447 --> 00:29:15,648
you given any more money. We

634
00:29:15,648 --> 00:29:16,382
need clear transparent audits

635
00:29:16,382 --> 00:29:16,983
show. We can see. And if we

636
00:29:16,983 --> 00:29:17,550
were to get that, which we're

637
00:29:17,550 --> 00:29:20,550
working on it. Bill source

638
00:29:20,653 --> 00:29:21,221
right now to be a a it's not

639
00:29:21,221 --> 00:29:22,822
answering. He's got an Der

640
00:29:22,822 --> 00:29:23,356
Spiegel. Bevers was You know,

641
00:29:23,356 --> 00:29:25,425
he he says I'm not gonna

642
00:29:25,425 --> 00:29:26,250
spewed evidence of the

643
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:28,494
corruption. He says I'm just

644
00:29:28,494 --> 00:29:32,694
not going to answer is what he

645
00:29:35,368 --> 00:29:35,969
That's it. It is corrupt 100%.

646
00:29:35,969 --> 00:29:36,503
>> Our next speaker is Chris

647
00:29:36,503 --> 00:29:38,903
wood followed by Charlie

648
00:29:50,483 --> 00:29:52,483
price.

649
00:29:54,587 --> 00:29:56,987
Chris wood. I strongly

650
00:29:58,900 --> 00:29:58,658
advocate for the acceptance of

651
00:29:58,658 --> 00:30:00,226
funds to reimburse overtime

652
00:30:00,226 --> 00:30:03,226
for the Fort Worth Police

653
00:30:03,229 --> 00:30:03,763
Department. Fugitive units

654
00:30:03,763 --> 00:30:04,397
participation in the U.S.

655
00:30:04,397 --> 00:30:06,397
Marshal service violent

656
00:30:07,133 --> 00:30:10,133
offender task force. This is

657
00:30:10,170 --> 00:30:10,704
not just a budgetary decision.

658
00:30:10,704 --> 00:30:14,400
It is a matter of public

659
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:14,641
safety and justice fugitives

660
00:30:14,641 --> 00:30:17,641
at large threaten the safety

661
00:30:18,211 --> 00:30:21,211
of every 4 or threads didn't.

662
00:30:21,415 --> 00:30:22,449
Research shows that Strong's

663
00:30:22,449 --> 00:30:23,317
task force deter fugitives

664
00:30:23,317 --> 00:30:25,317
from committing violent

665
00:30:25,786 --> 00:30:26,720
crimes. They want to remain

666
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,287
undetected and they don't want

667
00:30:27,287 --> 00:30:29,687
the attention that vicious

668
00:30:30,257 --> 00:30:31,658
crimes received. One captured

669
00:30:31,658 --> 00:30:32,250
fugitive complained to his

670
00:30:32,250 --> 00:30:34,250
apprehend ers.

671
00:30:34,494 --> 00:30:35,128
>> How did you find me? I

672
00:30:35,128 --> 00:30:38,128
haven't been going anywhere or

673
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:40,234
doing anything. This

674
00:30:40,234 --> 00:30:40,734
demonstrates the effectiveness

675
00:30:40,734 --> 00:30:42,336
of our efforts and the

676
00:30:42,336 --> 00:30:42,603
importance of maintaining a

677
00:30:42,603 --> 00:30:43,137
powerful.

678
00:30:43,137 --> 00:30:45,137
>> Fugitive apprehension

679
00:30:46,874 --> 00:30:48,874
program. Overtime is

680
00:30:50,770 --> 00:30:50,611
unavoidable stake outs and

681
00:30:50,611 --> 00:30:52,611
surveillance often extend

682
00:30:55,549 --> 00:30:56,650
beyond regular working hours.

683
00:30:56,650 --> 00:30:58,650
Reimbursement funds officers

684
00:30:58,719 --> 00:30:59,253
to dedicate the needed time

685
00:30:59,253 --> 00:30:59,820
and attention to safely

686
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:01,820
apprehend fugitives without

687
00:31:04,824 --> 00:31:05,859
straining the city budget. Our

688
00:31:05,859 --> 00:31:06,493
task force delivers real

689
00:31:06,493 --> 00:31:09,493
results about one-third of all

690
00:31:10,970 --> 00:31:10,764
fugitives are caught and

691
00:31:10,764 --> 00:31:11,331
high-profile offenders are

692
00:31:11,331 --> 00:31:14,931
even much more likely to be

693
00:31:17,104 --> 00:31:17,670
apprehended. Every successful

694
00:31:17,670 --> 00:31:18,272
capture brings justice for

695
00:31:18,272 --> 00:31:21,174
victims and peace of mind for

696
00:31:21,174 --> 00:31:23,544
families. Accepting funds for

697
00:31:23,544 --> 00:31:24,780
overtime costs. Catching

698
00:31:24,780 --> 00:31:24,678
fugitives helps keep Fort

699
00:31:24,678 --> 00:31:27,678
Worth. It is unsafe. Thank

700
00:31:29,783 --> 00:31:30,418
you.

701
00:31:30,418 --> 00:31:31,180
>> Thank you. Our next speaker

702
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:34,180
is Charlie price followed by

703
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:42,763
Adrian Smith.

704
00:31:42,763 --> 00:31:45,163
>> Council and Mayor city

705
00:31:47,868 --> 00:31:48,435
attorney and j. Thank you for

706
00:31:48,435 --> 00:31:50,370
that means. Talk today. I'm

707
00:31:50,370 --> 00:31:50,538
talking about tax exemption on

708
00:31:50,538 --> 00:31:52,538
Meridian apartments and

709
00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:54,708
councilmember forces district

710
00:31:54,708 --> 00:31:57,378
its an apartment complexes. Go

711
00:31:57,378 --> 00:31:59,778
undergoing a major renovation

712
00:32:03,251 --> 00:32:03,885
my board who 80% Fort Worth As

713
00:32:03,885 --> 00:32:04,485
asked me to be really involved

714
00:32:04,485 --> 00:32:06,287
with housing here in the city

715
00:32:06,287 --> 00:32:09,287
of Fort Worth. So were

716
00:32:10,491 --> 00:32:11,259
involved as a general partner.

717
00:32:11,259 --> 00:32:12,961
So we're asking for a small

718
00:32:12,961 --> 00:32:13,594
tax exemption on this piece of

719
00:32:13,594 --> 00:32:16,464
property. The pay for security

720
00:32:16,464 --> 00:32:18,633
upgrades. And it's an inherent

721
00:32:18,633 --> 00:32:20,268
right for people to be secure.

722
00:32:20,268 --> 00:32:22,470
I know that my house, I have

723
00:32:22,470 --> 00:32:24,470
rain cameras everywhere.

724
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,142
Mostly have any. For low

725
00:32:28,142 --> 00:32:31,142
income. Poor. And we're trying

726
00:32:32,346 --> 00:32:32,914
to give them the same. The

727
00:32:32,914 --> 00:32:34,582
same stuff that most people

728
00:32:34,582 --> 00:32:38,182
get their own house. So we

729
00:32:39,587 --> 00:32:40,155
have to pay for as a general

730
00:32:40,155 --> 00:32:42,555
partner, these guys, these

731
00:32:43,324 --> 00:32:43,858
developers are saying, hey,

732
00:32:43,858 --> 00:32:44,391
you go out there and find

733
00:32:44,391 --> 00:32:46,961
money for this. So we're

734
00:32:46,961 --> 00:32:49,397
asking for Texas and do this.

735
00:32:49,397 --> 00:32:49,998
And not money to put him in a

736
00:32:49,998 --> 00:32:50,899
written initially. It's also

737
00:32:50,899 --> 00:32:53,299
money to continually monitor

738
00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:58,672
him. Also to upgrade them. You

739
00:32:58,672 --> 00:33:01,676
want and we find a area that

740
00:33:01,676 --> 00:33:02,543
we can't see on the cameras.

741
00:33:02,543 --> 00:33:05,543
It's just an overall thing

742
00:33:06,614 --> 00:33:07,482
that we believe because and

743
00:33:07,482 --> 00:33:08,830
what we have done in other

744
00:33:08,830 --> 00:33:10,483
apartment complexes. We have

745
00:33:10,785 --> 00:33:11,953
cut down place called by doing

746
00:33:11,953 --> 00:33:14,155
this. So we're asking for this

747
00:33:14,155 --> 00:33:17,259
tax exemption and I hope you

748
00:33:17,259 --> 00:33:19,963
can basically than I the m and

749
00:33:19,963 --> 00:33:20,562

852
00:37:47,531 --> 00:37:48,650

853
00:37:48,650 --> 00:37:51,340
busy end of the year and

854
00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:53,370
started the year. But so the

855
00:37:53,370 --> 00:37:56,970
reason put Pierre for those of

856
00:37:57,273 --> 00:37:58,309

857
00:37:58,309 --> 00:37:58,976

858
00:37:58,976 --> 00:38:00,976
highlighting a chick-fil-a.

859
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:05,816
It's just not any chick-fil-a.

860
00:38:05,816 --> 00:38:07,718
This chick-fil-a is owned and

861
00:38:07,718 --> 00:38:10,118
operated by an amazing

862
00:38:11,822 --> 00:38:14,222
extraordinary woman Moreno who

863
00:38:14,391 --> 00:38:15,192
is an immigrant from South

864
00:38:15,192 --> 00:38:18,792
America and started to work at

865
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:23,330
chick fillet many years ago as

866
00:38:23,701 --> 00:38:24,902
a cook, she now owns 2 of

867
00:38:24,902 --> 00:38:26,902
largest grossing chick-fil-a's

868
00:38:29,173 --> 00:38:30,208
in the area and she her story

869
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:33,208
is extraordinary. And I wanted

870
00:38:34,110 --> 00:38:35,450
to make sure that we

871
00:38:35,450 --> 00:38:38,450
highlighted her to show what

872
00:38:38,783 --> 00:38:39,717
Democrats can do for our

873
00:38:39,717 --> 00:38:43,317
country. So it's fair off East

874
00:38:43,754 --> 00:38:44,889
chase and 30 so stop by every

875
00:38:44,889 --> 00:38:45,690

heard from many students

964
00:42:09,662 --> 00:42:11,231

978
00:42:37,657 --> 00:42:40,657

1396
00:56:28,629 --> 00:56:31,165
what happened when you were

1397
00:56:31,165 --> 00:56:31,732
placed in office, you were

1398
00:56:31,732 --> 00:56:33,468
trusted with the power that

1399
00:56:33,468 --> 00:56:34,350
comes with the officer's gun

1400
00:56:34,350 --> 00:56:36,571
to your head and you abused

1401
00:56:36,571 --> 00:56:37,138
that are that was interesting

1402
00:56:37,138 --> 00:56:40,138
to you before 2021 and you

1403
00:56:40,908 --> 00:56:41,743

1406
00:56:47,815 --> 00:56:48,916
you move it down 2 up. This

1407
00:56:48,916 --> 00:56:51,752
what you and you got away with

1408
00:56:51,752 --> 00:56:52,320
for years. Not much resistance

1409
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:53,588
in Utah, woman that down to

1410
00:56:53,588 --> 00:56:54,122
one more is what we're doing

1411
00:56:54,122 --> 00:56:55,890
right this moment on that

1412
00:56:55,890 --> 00:56:57,925
right now you move down to one

1413
00:56:57,925 --> 00:56:59,828
and you've got resistant. So

1414
00:56:59,828 --> 00:57:00,395
now you're going cut back to

1415
00:57:00,395 --> 00:57:00,929
once what you're going vote

1416
00:57:00,929 --> 00:57:03,929
all they want. But you're

1417
00:57:04,565 --> 00:57:05,800
still even 2 out quit playing

1418
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:06,434
games. But our cows agenda

1419
00:57:06,434 --> 00:57:08,770
back the way it was before you

1420
00:57:08,770 --> 00:57:09,803
sat in that seat. Mayor

1421
00:57:09,803 --> 00:57:10,405
Parker. But it all way back

1422
00:57:10,405 --> 00:57:12,207
like it was. And if you want

1423
00:57:12,207 --> 00:57:15,807
to try change it with the

1424
00:57:16,143 --> 00:57:17,178
people you're too conceded.

1425
00:57:17,178 --> 00:57:19,114
You chef to shoot up a virus

1426
00:57:19,114 --> 00:57:19,981
and we get here. We've got

1427
00:57:19,981 --> 00:57:21,216
much 5 minutes to slide shows

1428
00:57:21,216 --> 00:57:21,783
up on the spring. If I was a

1429
00:57:21,783 --> 00:57:22,350
council member, I would let

1430
00:57:22,350 --> 00:57:25,860
you put my picture for like

1431
00:57:25,860 --> 00:57:25,787
that. No way you people think

1432
00:57:25,787 --> 00:57:27,255
you're an industry was I've

1433
00:57:27,255 --> 00:57:28,623
asked you to move this to the

1434
00:57:28,623 --> 00:57:31,230
bottom your announcement to

1435
00:57:32,270 --> 00:57:32,627
the bottom so that we you get

1436
00:57:32,627 --> 00:57:34,762
out here early to put Houston

1437
00:57:34,762 --> 00:57:37,532
sure to watch it and let

1438
00:57:37,532 --> 00:57:38,990
people go home to her for

1439
00:57:38,990 --> 00:57:39,534
zoning cases. Got to go to

1440
00:57:39,534 --> 00:57:40,168
work tomorrow. They're not on

1441
00:57:40,168 --> 00:57:43,168
payroll. You'd like watch her.

1442
00:57:43,505 --> 00:57:44,139
Watch your show wash. And you

1443
00:57:44,139 --> 00:57:46,975
can keep your show but and the

1444
00:57:46,975 --> 00:57:47,609
bottom like you had the public

1445
00:57:47,609 --> 00:57:50,609
possessions not on this agenda

1446
00:57:50,879 --> 00:57:52,680
that took it off completely

1447
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:53,982
got in here. I asked her to

1448
00:57:53,982 --> 00:57:55,170
move it to the top like other

1449
00:57:55,170 --> 00:57:55,817
cities. She did. She made it

1450
00:57:55,817 --> 00:57:56,284
to the top right to the

1451
00:57:56,284 --> 00:57:57,885
written right out the

1452
00:57:57,885 --> 00:58:00,285
building. No free Council

1453
00:58:00,789 --> 00:58:01,990
meetings, but it back. That's

1454
00:58:01,990 --> 00:58:03,825
real simple that will do so

1455
00:58:03,825 --> 00:58:04,759
many times are putting things

1456
00:58:04,759 --> 00:58:05,526
back at 7 o'clock just are so

1457
00:58:05,526 --> 00:58:06,829
many things and one what she's

1458
00:58:06,829 --> 00:58:09,829
done is unreal. Thank you.

1459
00:58:13,569 --> 00:58:14,169
Conrad mayor.

1460
00:58:14,169 --> 00:58:17,169
>> You carry and followed by

1461
00:58:24,647 --> 00:58:25,246
William Winston.

1462
00:58:25,246 --> 00:58:28,170
>> All right, everyone. So I

1463
00:58:28,170 --> 00:58:28,617
know I've been coming pretty

1464
00:58:28,617 --> 00:58:31,170
fierce. Pretty ferocious and

1465
00:58:32,540 --> 00:58:34,560
intense to this Council. I

1466
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:34,690
want you to know when that

1467
00:58:34,690 --> 00:58:35,291
started was my first ever

1468
00:58:35,291 --> 00:58:35,891
speaking at this Council was

1469
00:58:35,891 --> 00:58:38,291
after the racial gerrymander

1470
00:58:39,995 --> 00:58:40,629
vote when Tim o'hare silenced

1471
00:58:40,629 --> 00:58:41,197
10's of thousands of black and

1472
00:58:41,197 --> 00:58:42,598
brown voters of Fort Worth

1473
00:58:42,598 --> 00:58:46,198
where our boat matters less at

1474
00:58:46,335 --> 00:58:47,336
the county level. And so when

1475
00:58:47,336 --> 00:58:49,871
I was there in APRIL. What I

1476
00:58:49,871 --> 00:58:51,507
share with you guys. I said

1477
00:58:51,507 --> 00:58:52,508
that if Tara County is the

1478
00:58:52,508 --> 00:58:54,908
largest swing County in

1479
00:58:55,311 --> 00:58:56,979
America from a political

1480
00:58:56,979 --> 00:58:57,546
perspective with Fort Worth

1481
00:58:57,546 --> 00:59:00,546
being 47% of the county. We

1482
00:59:01,918 --> 00:59:02,385
are the front lot so your see

1483
00:59:02,385 --> 00:59:05,385
is the front lines of

1484
00:59:08,424 --> 00:59:09,324
democracy. And so this

1485
00:59:09,324 --> 00:59:09,925
intensity comes from seen that

1486
00:59:09,925 --> 00:59:10,492
and that's the importance of

1487
00:59:10,492 --> 00:59:14,692
how we need to move in this

1488
00:59:14,797 --> 00:59:15,598
role. And so I'm upset that

1489
00:59:15,598 --> 00:59:16,132
we're here talking about

1490
00:59:16,132 --> 00:59:17,400
public comments, the most

1491
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,400
fundamental basics of

1492
00:59:19,469 --> 00:59:20,103
democracy when we should be

1493
00:59:20,103 --> 00:59:23,103
talking about ice and Magnolia

1494
00:59:24,574 --> 00:59:28,770
right now. Garcia be in saying

1495
00:59:28,770 --> 00:59:28,644
that because Minnesota didn't

1496
00:59:28,644 --> 00:59:29,312
work with the police didn't

1497
00:59:29,312 --> 00:59:32,912
work with ice is the reason

1498
00:59:34,117 --> 00:59:36,840
why Renee good. It's not here.

1499
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:36,719
Things like You know, Pete

1500
00:59:36,719 --> 00:59:38,888
hegseth at Lockheed Martin and

1501
00:59:38,888 --> 00:59:40,123
us to have being a war

1502
00:59:40,123 --> 00:59:41,291
machine. These are the things

1503
00:59:41,291 --> 00:59:41,890
I would like to be talking to

1504
00:59:41,890 --> 00:59:43,659
you. But today I'm showing up

1505
00:59:43,659 --> 00:59:46,659
this. These people are showing

1506
00:59:46,697 --> 00:59:47,296
up to talk to you about public

1507
00:59:47,296 --> 00:59:47,897
comments. And so with public

1508
00:59:47,897 --> 00:59:50,399
comments of that's what we're

1509
00:59:50,399 --> 00:59:51,401
going to talk about at a

1510
00:59:51,401 --> 00:59:54,270
basics. We should get our 3

1511
00:59:54,270 --> 00:59:55,338
minutes every like to request

1512
00:59:55,338 --> 00:59:55,938
that. I would also like to

1513
00:59:55,938 --> 00:59:59,275
request that we get to be on

1514
00:59:59,275 --> 01:00:01,177
the on it. First and if we're

1515
01:00:01,177 --> 01:00:02,120
going to cut time. I thought

1516
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:02,779
actually bubble of these idea

1517
01:00:02,779 --> 01:00:03,346
that you presentations get cut

1518
01:00:03,346 --> 01:00:05,482
to 2 minutes. I think that

1519
01:00:05,482 --> 01:00:09,386
would be a good idea. So that

1520
01:00:09,386 --> 01:00:11,454
we can have our 3 minutes and

1521
01:00:11,454 --> 01:00:12,488
you can hear from us we're not

1522
01:00:12,488 --> 01:00:15,580
here to listen to you. Also a

1523
01:00:15,580 --> 01:00:16,920
virtual option would be nice

1524
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:16,693
as well. And I also think

1525
01:00:16,693 --> 01:00:19,262
these clapping some glad you

1526
01:00:19,262 --> 01:00:20,362
guys are allowing people

1527
01:00:20,362 --> 01:00:21,640
clapping and that's kind of

1528
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:21,564
some of the basics of what we

1529
01:00:21,564 --> 01:00:24,564
should do to bring back

1530
01:00:26,836 --> 01:00:27,704
democracy. Thank you.

1531
01:00:27,704 --> 01:00:28,271
>> Our next speaker is William

1532
01:00:28,271 --> 01:00:30,671
Winston followed by Allison

1533
01:00:36,213 --> 01:00:38,213
Fitzgerald.

1534
01:00:40,150 --> 01:00:40,717
>> I am father. We Winston.

1535
01:00:40,717 --> 01:00:42,185
Thank you for bringing the

1536
01:00:42,185 --> 01:00:44,185
possibility of restoring

1537
01:00:45,622 --> 01:00:46,223
public comments. Your 2026

1538
01:00:46,223 --> 01:00:46,823
meetings stressed or we'll do

1539
01:00:46,823 --> 01:00:48,659
a lot to restore our faith in

1540
01:00:48,659 --> 01:00:51,628
your good will. I know the

1541
01:00:51,628 --> 01:00:52,162
prospect of more public

1542
01:00:52,162 --> 01:00:54,764
comments. It's more of an

1543
01:00:54,764 --> 01:00:55,332
active duty and the agenda

1544
01:00:55,332 --> 01:00:57,201
responsible. It's a tender

1545
01:00:57,201 --> 01:00:57,834
responsibilities of elected

1546
01:00:57,834 --> 01:01:00,834
officials and something any of

1547
01:01:01,604 --> 01:01:03,540
you would happily do. But the

1548
01:01:03,540 --> 01:01:04,740
restoration of more public

1549
01:01:04,740 --> 01:01:04,675
comments is important and

1550
01:01:04,675 --> 01:01:07,750
significant to the community

1551
01:01:07,378 --> 01:01:08,120
you serve. Throughout the

1552
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,814
public comments over their son

1553
01:01:10,814 --> 01:01:11,315
Tripp a primary attention to

1554
01:01:11,315 --> 01:01:13,851
what is being said. Do

1555
01:01:13,851 --> 01:01:15,219
separate and distinct from who

1556
01:01:15,219 --> 01:01:18,819
is saying how their say and

1557
01:01:19,722 --> 01:01:20,691
what they look like. The heart

1558
01:01:20,691 --> 01:01:21,292
of these comments is in the

1559
01:01:21,292 --> 01:01:24,628
words if you pay attention to

1560
01:01:24,628 --> 01:01:25,228
the word escape a book feel

1561
01:01:25,228 --> 01:01:27,628
the emotions commitments and

1562
01:01:28,365 --> 01:01:29,433
hopes of the speakers as you

1563
01:01:29,433 --> 01:01:30,835
well know, each of us speakers

1564
01:01:30,835 --> 01:01:32,670
speaking on behalf of a lot of

1565
01:01:32,670 --> 01:01:36,173
other people in Fort Worth. We

1566
01:01:36,173 --> 01:01:38,573
are not year alone.

1567
01:01:40,144 --> 01:01:41,645
Consequently. We I have 2

1568
01:01:41,645 --> 01:01:42,279
specific requests first that

1569
01:01:42,279 --> 01:01:44,648
the allotted time increased to

1570
01:01:44,648 --> 01:01:45,983
3 minutes. Few people are

1571
01:01:45,983 --> 01:01:48,383
skilled enough to condense

1572
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:50,755
their points motions and hopes

1573
01:01:50,755 --> 01:01:51,288
2 minutes. Second, that's a

1574
01:01:51,288 --> 01:01:53,357
public comment Smith. The

1575
01:01:53,357 --> 01:01:54,158
first part of the agenda. This

1576
01:01:54,158 --> 01:01:56,993
is important and the public

1577
01:01:56,993 --> 01:01:58,128
comments there will be some

1578
01:01:58,128 --> 01:01:59,563
points made. It will have a

1579
01:01:59,563 --> 01:02:00,131
direct impact on your

1580
01:02:00,131 --> 01:02:02,131
deliberations. Sometimes in

1581
01:02:02,867 --> 01:02:03,468
ways that you never expected

1582
01:02:03,468 --> 01:02:05,868
insight and perspective that

1583
01:02:06,671 --> 01:02:07,271
you have not considered. And

1584
01:02:07,271 --> 01:02:09,406
then if you don't have those

1585
01:02:09,406 --> 01:02:09,974
perspectives as part of your

1586
01:02:09,974 --> 01:02:12,374
deliberations. You MAY well

1587
01:02:13,444 --> 01:02:14,440
make avoidable mistakes that

1588
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:14,545
will only play themselves out

1589
01:02:14,545 --> 01:02:17,545
and a lot of difficult

1590
01:02:18,783 --> 01:02:21,180
weights. As our City Council.

1591
01:02:21,180 --> 01:02:21,552
We look to you to calm our

1592
01:02:21,552 --> 01:02:24,552
fears and to consider our

1593
01:02:24,956 --> 01:02:25,590
disappointments. These are

1594
01:02:25,590 --> 01:02:27,158
some of the reasons we need to

1595
01:02:27,158 --> 01:02:30,758
speak up more often and feel

1596
01:02:34,532 --> 01:02:35,133
that you hear us.

1597
01:02:35,133 --> 01:02:37,533
>> I listened Fitzgerald will

1598
01:02:47,412 --> 01:02:47,979
be followed by Jeremy Pope.

1599
01:02:47,979 --> 01:02:48,579
>> Good evening. My name is

1600
01:02:48,579 --> 01:02:51,579
Allison Fitzgerald and I live

1601
01:02:51,783 --> 01:02:53,184
in district 3. I'm here to

1602
01:02:53,184 --> 01:02:54,285
encourage you to adopt the

1603
01:02:54,285 --> 01:02:54,819
revised calendar that allows

1604
01:02:54,819 --> 01:02:57,219
for more public speaking

1605
01:02:58,657 --> 01:02:59,257
opportunities. I was born and

1606
01:02:59,257 --> 01:03:02,857
raised in Fort Worth and I've

1607
01:03:03,228 --> 01:03:03,795
raised my family here. I love

1608
01:03:03,795 --> 01:03:07,395
my city. I volunteer at the

1609
01:03:07,532 --> 01:03:08,166
Fort Worth Public Library.

1610
01:03:08,166 --> 01:03:08,633
Visit our amazing local

1611
01:03:08,633 --> 01:03:10,633
theaters and museums

1612
01:03:11,736 --> 01:03:14,736
regularly. And I've worked in

1613
01:03:15,307 --> 01:03:15,874
several local school

1614
01:03:15,874 --> 01:03:18,874
districts. I believe that I

1615
01:03:18,910 --> 01:03:22,510
had value to the city. These

1616
01:03:25,317 --> 01:03:25,851
people add value to our city.

1617
01:03:25,851 --> 01:03:26,417
I've never wanted to live

1618
01:03:26,417 --> 01:03:26,952
anywhere else because Fort

1619
01:03:26,952 --> 01:03:29,952
Worth has always been all

1620
01:03:30,122 --> 01:03:31,123
that. I needed. I'm asking you

1621
01:03:31,123 --> 01:03:34,123
to return the 3 minute time

1622
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,395
limit on public speaking, give

1623
01:03:36,395 --> 01:03:39,395
the citizens time to clearly

1624
01:03:39,431 --> 01:03:40,465
voice their thoughts and

1625
01:03:40,465 --> 01:03:41,320
opinions. I'm asking that you

1626
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,320
put public comments at the

1627
01:03:44,837 --> 01:03:46,404
beginnings of the meeting.

1628
01:03:46,404 --> 01:03:47,400
Asking that you add back the

1629
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,400
virtual option of being able

1630
01:03:51,900 --> 01:03:51,577
to speak at a meeting. I also

1631
01:03:51,577 --> 01:03:54,577
ask that you allow healthy

1632
01:03:55,581 --> 01:03:56,148
engagement at these meetings.

1633
01:03:56,148 --> 01:03:57,616
I have to be honest to each

1634
01:03:57,616 --> 01:03:58,183
City Council meeting that I

1635
01:03:58,183 --> 01:04:01,183
have attended you all look

1636
01:04:02,487 --> 01:04:04,887
pretty bored. And that's

1637
01:04:05,524 --> 01:04:06,658
pretty insulting. To We take

1638
01:04:06,658 --> 01:04:07,292
the time to craft our

1639
01:04:07,292 --> 01:04:10,892
comments. And we expect you to

1640
01:04:12,965 --> 01:04:13,599
be engaged with us. And I like

1641
01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:14,990
hearing from the people behind

1642
01:04:14,990 --> 01:04:17,990
me while I speak. It's

1643
01:04:17,769 --> 01:04:20,639
encouraging to me. We are here

1644
01:04:20,639 --> 01:04:21,373
to talk with you about our

1645
01:04:21,373 --> 01:04:24,973
city, the city that we love

1646
01:04:25,544 --> 01:04:26,712
and deeply invested But to be

1647
01:04:26,712 --> 01:04:29,712
told soon as the meeting

1648
01:04:30,683 --> 01:04:31,350
begins that we can be escorted

1649
01:04:31,350 --> 01:04:31,951
out arrested nearly for

1650
01:04:31,951 --> 01:04:34,351
showing our support clapping

1651
01:04:35,187 --> 01:04:35,788
for someone who was speaking.

1652
01:04:35,788 --> 01:04:36,389
That makes it seems like you

1653
01:04:36,389 --> 01:04:38,590
all really don't care what we

1654
01:04:38,590 --> 01:04:40,760
have to say makes us feel like

1655
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:41,593
you don't want to hear from us

1656
01:04:41,593 --> 01:04:45,193
at all. And that's a dangerous

1657
01:04:49,968 --> 01:04:50,569
path for our leaders to take.

1658
01:04:50,569 --> 01:04:53,569
Jeremy pope will be followed

1659
01:05:00,380 --> 01:05:00,980
by a and say to.

1660
01:05:00,980 --> 01:05:03,980
>> Never realize how much you

1661
01:05:04,584 --> 01:05:05,184
can bald head coming down. My

1662
01:05:05,184 --> 01:05:08,921
name is Jeremy Pope and I'm a

1663
01:05:08,921 --> 01:05:09,522
resident District 5. I'm here

1664
01:05:09,522 --> 01:05:10,156
because you're most important

1665
01:05:10,156 --> 01:05:13,580
responsibility is to listen to

1666
01:05:13,580 --> 01:05:13,726
the people you serve the

1667
01:05:13,726 --> 01:05:16,726
ceremonies and photos MAY come

1668
01:05:16,763 --> 01:05:17,529
with the role that they are

1669
01:05:17,529 --> 01:05:18,300
secondary. You cannot

1670
01:05:18,300 --> 01:05:20,430
represent us if you're

1671
01:05:21,267 --> 01:05:21,767
unwilling to hear us

1672
01:05:21,767 --> 01:05:23,767
guaranteeing speakers 3

1673
01:05:24,370 --> 01:05:24,970
minutes no matter how many

1674
01:05:24,970 --> 01:05:27,373
sign up is not excessive. Do

1675
01:05:27,373 --> 01:05:30,910
it seems that was tonight. It

1676
01:05:30,910 --> 01:05:31,745
is the bare minimum. The Bexar

1677
01:05:31,745 --> 01:05:34,214
to the residents who entrusted

1678
01:05:34,214 --> 01:05:36,614
you with this responsibility

1679
01:05:36,716 --> 01:05:37,417
listening MAY not always feel

1680
01:05:37,417 --> 01:05:37,884
comfortable, but that

1681
01:05:37,884 --> 01:05:40,284
discomfort is part of

1682
01:05:41,487 --> 01:05:42,880
leadership. We're also asking

1683
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,524
the public comment be placed

1684
01:05:44,524 --> 01:05:47,930
first on the agenda. Many

1685
01:05:47,930 --> 01:05:49,262
residents cannot sit here for

1686
01:05:49,262 --> 01:05:49,829
hours. They're balancing work

1687
01:05:49,829 --> 01:05:51,765
child care, health concerns

1688
01:05:51,765 --> 01:05:53,765
and transportation challenges.

1689
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:54,967
Respect for your constituents

1690
01:05:54,967 --> 01:05:56,967
beings. Respecting the

1691
01:05:58,170 --> 01:05:59,272
realities of their lives.

1692
01:05:59,272 --> 01:06:00,206
Those who truly value

1693
01:06:00,206 --> 01:06:00,840
transparency should speak up

1694
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,276
when efforts are made to limit

1695
01:06:03,276 --> 01:06:04,878
or silence public input. That

1696
01:06:04,878 --> 01:06:06,746
is not a moment for silence.

1697
01:06:06,746 --> 01:06:08,615
That is the moment for

1698
01:06:08,615 --> 01:06:09,182
courage. And we are watching

1699
01:06:09,182 --> 01:06:11,651
for it and you want to look

1700
01:06:11,651 --> 01:06:13,651
really bored. Peaceful

1701
01:06:15,656 --> 01:06:16,790
disagreement is not a threat.

1702
01:06:16,790 --> 01:06:17,357
A small sign or respectful

1703
01:06:17,357 --> 01:06:19,757
applause should not create

1704
01:06:20,794 --> 01:06:21,528
fear or intimidation. People

1705
01:06:21,528 --> 01:06:22,620
deserve to participate in

1706
01:06:22,620 --> 01:06:24,620
democracy without feeling

1707
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,166
punished for it. Virtual

1708
01:06:27,166 --> 01:06:29,803
options must also be restored.

1709
01:06:29,803 --> 01:06:31,710
Many can't be here physically

1710
01:06:31,710 --> 01:06:33,740
many who can't be here

1711
01:06:33,740 --> 01:06:34,775
physically still deserve a

1712
01:06:34,775 --> 01:06:36,243
voice. Disappointing. We even

1713
01:06:36,243 --> 01:06:36,809
have to fight for something

1714
01:06:36,809 --> 01:06:39,809
this basic. But I'm hoping

1715
01:06:39,846 --> 01:06:40,481
you'll choose it integrity

1716
01:06:40,481 --> 01:06:41,615
accountability and respect for

1717
01:06:41,615 --> 01:06:43,717
the people of this city.

1718
01:06:43,717 --> 01:06:47,317
Please do the right thing. Our

1719
01:06:47,855 --> 01:06:48,922
community is engaged organized

1720
01:06:48,922 --> 01:06:52,522
and we will remember those who

1721
01:06:54,662 --> 01:06:55,295
honor voices. Thank you.

1722
01:06:55,295 --> 01:06:58,295
>> And Santa followed by Chris

1723
01:07:02,602 --> 01:07:03,270
wood. I signed up for 2 items.

1724
01:07:03,270 --> 01:07:03,837
I'm I going to get called up

1725
01:07:03,837 --> 01:07:04,438
for the second item or do I

1726
01:07:04,438 --> 01:07:06,440
need to cover both of them in

1727
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,440
Okay. I'm gonna leave the

1728
01:07:10,770 --> 01:07:10,611
public comments that I had

1729
01:07:10,611 --> 01:07:11,912
because they've been well

1730
01:07:11,912 --> 01:07:12,446
stated by by others. And I'm

1731
01:07:12,446 --> 01:07:16,460
going to cut to the power

1732
01:07:17,850 --> 01:07:17,585
plant, historic designation on

1733
01:07:17,585 --> 01:07:18,218
behalf of the Board of

1734
01:07:18,218 --> 01:07:20,200
community designed Fort Worth.

1735
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,155
I want to mention also that ai

1736
01:07:21,155 --> 01:07:22,690
a Fort Worth contributed. A

1737
01:07:22,690 --> 01:07:23,324
letter of support for this

1738
01:07:23,324 --> 01:07:24,825
action. We appreciate the city

1739
01:07:24,825 --> 01:07:25,393
from moving promptly to

1740
01:07:25,393 --> 01:07:25,993
designate the former power

1741
01:07:25,993 --> 01:07:29,263
plant on Panther Island as a

1742
01:07:29,263 --> 01:07:30,197
local historic landmark. The

1743
01:07:30,197 --> 01:07:31,633
building currently owned by

1744
01:07:31,633 --> 01:07:32,533
Tarrant County College and

1745
01:07:32,533 --> 01:07:35,503
offered for sale as an

1746
01:07:35,503 --> 01:07:35,970
important civic and industrial

1747
01:07:35,970 --> 01:07:37,204
artifact that merits

1748
01:07:37,204 --> 01:07:37,771
protection. Now as Cantor

1749
01:07:37,771 --> 01:07:38,305
islands. Redevelopment can

1750
01:07:38,305 --> 01:07:39,606
include thoughtful public

1751
01:07:39,606 --> 01:07:42,606
oriented reuse rather than or

1752
01:07:42,776 --> 01:07:45,176
for worse about demolition.

1753
01:07:46,481 --> 01:07:48,682
Historic designation can be

1754
01:07:48,682 --> 01:07:49,716
recognized as a positive and a

1755
01:07:49,716 --> 01:07:51,485
helpful thing and we should

1756
01:07:51,485 --> 01:07:53,521
encourage people to be

1757
01:07:53,521 --> 01:07:54,522
educated and informed about

1758
01:07:54,522 --> 01:07:55,857
the invaluable opportunities

1759
01:07:55,857 --> 01:07:58,257
of anchoring the riverfront.

1760
01:07:58,492 --> 01:07:59,460
What this public service of

1761
01:07:59,460 --> 01:08:00,795
reuse designation does not

1762
01:08:00,795 --> 01:08:01,829
preclude redevelopment. It

1763
01:08:01,829 --> 01:08:03,970
creates conditions of adaptive

1764
01:08:03,970 --> 01:08:03,898
reuse that retains character.

1765
01:08:03,898 --> 01:08:04,432
Well, attracting investment in

1766
01:08:04,432 --> 01:08:06,832
programs that will serve

1767
01:08:07,668 --> 01:08:08,503
residents and visitors a clear

1768
01:08:08,503 --> 01:08:10,738
protected future for the

1769
01:08:10,738 --> 01:08:11,339
building. Will enhance Panther

1770
01:08:11,339 --> 01:08:13,339
Island's identity strengthen

1771
01:08:13,975 --> 01:08:14,576
its continuity between past

1772
01:08:14,576 --> 01:08:15,210
and future and expand the

1773
01:08:15,210 --> 01:08:18,210
range of opportunities. I sent

1774
01:08:18,246 --> 01:08:18,846
a letter to all of you from

1775
01:08:18,846 --> 01:08:19,414
the board of community design

1776
01:08:19,414 --> 01:08:22,414
Fort Worth and I appreciate

1777
01:08:22,517 --> 01:08:24,185
those of you who acknowledge

1778
01:08:24,185 --> 01:08:24,651
that the receipt of that

1779
01:08:24,651 --> 01:08:25,520
letter. And I really

1780
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:26,254
appreciate that. You have this

1781
01:08:26,254 --> 01:08:26,855
on the agenda for this evening

1782
01:08:26,855 --> 01:08:30,455
and hope that you will favor

1783
01:08:31,860 --> 01:08:32,494
of it. Thank you very much.

1784
01:08:32,494 --> 01:08:32,960
Our next speaker is Chris wood

1785
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,360
followed by Monday at

1786
01:08:47,608 --> 01:08:49,608
Whittier.

1787
01:08:51,378 --> 01:08:52,114
I'm Kris would

1788
01:08:52,114 --> 01:08:54,514
support the revised schedule

1789
01:08:57,180 --> 01:08:57,286
for 2026 City Council

1790
01:08:57,286 --> 01:08:57,852
meetings.

1791
01:08:57,852 --> 01:08:58,487
>> The schedule includes a

1792
01:08:58,487 --> 01:09:01,323
public comment section on each

1793
01:09:01,323 --> 01:09:01,890
regularly scheduled business

1794
01:09:01,890 --> 01:09:02,457
meeting and eliminates the

1795
01:09:02,457 --> 01:09:04,457
current stand-alone public

1796
01:09:05,994 --> 01:09:06,794
comment meetings. This revised

1797
01:09:06,794 --> 01:09:09,794
schedule aligns with the First

1798
01:09:10,966 --> 01:09:11,467
Amendment of the U.S.

1799
01:09:11,467 --> 01:09:12,660
Constitution where the

1800
01:09:12,660 --> 01:09:12,601
Founding Fathers established

1801
01:09:12,601 --> 01:09:13,567
the right for citizens to

1802
01:09:13,567 --> 01:09:16,567
petition the government for a

1803
01:09:17,472 --> 01:09:18,730
redress of grievances. This

1804
01:09:18,730 --> 01:09:19,574
means citizens have the right

1805
01:09:19,574 --> 01:09:20,750
to communicate government

1806
01:09:20,750 --> 01:09:22,750
officials and expressed

1807
01:09:22,744 --> 01:09:23,378
concerns to them. This is

1808
01:09:23,378 --> 01:09:25,778
considered a fundamental right

1809
01:09:26,515 --> 01:09:30,586
to free speech and is a key

1810
01:09:30,586 --> 01:09:31,420
aspect of a democratic system.

1811
01:09:31,420 --> 01:09:33,455
Because council members have

1812
01:09:33,455 --> 01:09:34,220
been more likely to 10

1813
01:09:34,220 --> 01:09:34,623
business meetings and less

1814
01:09:34,623 --> 01:09:37,230
likely to attend stand-alone

1815
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:39,927
public comment meetings this

1816
01:09:39,927 --> 01:09:40,528
plant improves, the likelihood

1817
01:09:40,528 --> 01:09:42,928
citizens can directly address

1818
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:44,633
specific council members. Also

1819
01:09:44,633 --> 01:09:47,335
I have never seen a business

1820
01:09:47,335 --> 01:09:47,936
Council meeting canceled. I

1821
01:09:47,936 --> 01:09:50,336
have seen stand-alone comment

1822
01:09:51,390 --> 01:09:52,207
meetings called off at one

1823
01:09:52,207 --> 01:09:53,976
point 3 straight months there

1824
01:09:53,976 --> 01:09:56,780
were no comment meetings due

1825
01:09:56,780 --> 01:09:59,780
to either cancellation are not

1826
01:09:59,810 --> 01:10:01,183
even being scheduled. So this

1827
01:10:01,183 --> 01:10:02,117
enhanced schedule will help

1828
01:10:02,117 --> 01:10:02,685
ensure that another gap like

1829
01:10:02,685 --> 01:10:06,285
this does not occur in the

1830
01:10:06,722 --> 01:10:07,323
future. In conclusion. The

1831
01:10:07,323 --> 01:10:09,723
revised schedule aligns with

1832
01:10:09,959 --> 01:10:12,495
the U.S. Constitution and give

1833
01:10:12,495 --> 01:10:13,950
citizens ample opportunity to

1834
01:10:13,950 --> 01:10:15,495
consistently bring issues to

1835
01:10:17,660 --> 01:10:17,633
City Council. If this

1836
01:10:17,633 --> 01:10:20,330
resolution passes. I'm not

1837
01:10:20,670 --> 01:10:21,270
giving City Council a letter

1838
01:10:21,270 --> 01:10:24,730
grade. If I received a letter

1839
01:10:24,730 --> 01:10:24,640
grade for every diet that I

1840
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,109
messed up. I have a report

1841
01:10:27,109 --> 01:10:31,113
card, a mile long full of s

1842
01:10:31,113 --> 01:10:34,113
instead, if this passes. I

1843
01:10:34,384 --> 01:10:34,984
give the council a gold star.

1844
01:10:34,984 --> 01:10:38,584
This star and $3 will get you

1845
01:10:40,923 --> 01:10:43,923
cup of coffee. India, Whittier

1846
01:10:55,270 --> 01:10:55,455
followed by Andrew Tory.

1847
01:10:55,455 --> 01:10:55,939
There

1848
01:10:55,939 --> 01:10:58,339
are 2 reasons I support

1849
01:10:59,375 --> 01:11:01,375
amending Council's meeting

1850
01:11:01,377 --> 01:11:02,278
schedule by separating public

1851
01:11:02,278 --> 01:11:02,846
comment and to stand alone

1852
01:11:02,846 --> 01:11:04,447
meetings were no meaningful

1853
01:11:04,447 --> 01:11:05,140
votes are taken council

1854
01:11:05,140 --> 01:11:05,648
members could avoid

1855
01:11:05,648 --> 01:11:07,648
accountability without missing

1856
01:11:09,510 --> 01:11:09,686
official city business.

1857
01:11:09,686 --> 01:11:11,254
>> This structure has provided

1858
01:11:11,254 --> 01:11:11,821
cover for attendance to be

1859
01:11:11,821 --> 01:11:14,821
optional. Some of you took

1860
01:11:15,358 --> 01:11:16,793
full advantage of that. The

1861
01:11:16,793 --> 01:11:17,360
revised schedule at least

1862
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:17,961
restores a more reasonable

1863
01:11:17,961 --> 01:11:20,960
number of opportunities for

1864
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,766
the public to provide comment.

1865
01:11:22,766 --> 01:11:23,366
And I'm calling on you to do

1866
01:11:23,366 --> 01:11:23,967
even better. The current

1867
01:11:23,967 --> 01:11:26,967
schedule was just approved in

1868
01:11:27,700 --> 01:11:28,938
OCTOBER. Why the sudden change

1869
01:11:28,938 --> 01:11:30,106
of heart. It's because of

1870
01:11:30,106 --> 01:11:30,707
another proposal which rose in

1871
01:11:30,707 --> 01:11:31,308
DECEMBER for a charter

1872
01:11:31,308 --> 01:11:33,708
amendment so council members

1873
01:11:34,744 --> 01:11:35,645
can receive a pay increase.

1874
01:11:35,645 --> 01:11:37,681
Those of you who voted for the

1875
01:11:37,681 --> 01:11:38,248
restrictive public comment

1876
01:11:38,248 --> 01:11:38,882
schedule in OCTOBER didn't

1877
01:11:38,882 --> 01:11:41,518
change course because it's the

1878
01:11:41,518 --> 01:11:42,586
right thing to do. You

1879
01:11:42,586 --> 01:11:43,653
capitulated because it's the

1880
01:11:43,653 --> 01:11:45,555
politically expedient thing to

1881
01:11:45,555 --> 01:11:46,656
do, having grossly restricted

1882
01:11:46,656 --> 01:11:47,289
public engagement threatens

1883
01:11:47,289 --> 01:11:49,626
your campaign this year secure

1884
01:11:49,626 --> 01:11:50,227
votes for a pay increase. So

1885
01:11:50,227 --> 01:11:53,663
I'm calling on you to do the

1886
01:11:53,663 --> 01:11:54,764
right thing in the first

1887
01:11:54,764 --> 01:11:56,533
place. I'm also calling on you

1888
01:11:56,533 --> 01:11:57,133
to codify strict parameters

1889
01:11:57,133 --> 01:12:00,133
under which speaking time can

1890
01:12:00,203 --> 01:12:00,871
be reduced below 3 minutes.

1891
01:12:00,871 --> 01:12:01,705
They should only be done when

1892
01:12:01,705 --> 01:12:04,608
all other methods have been

1893
01:12:04,608 --> 01:12:05,642
exhausted to facilitate public

1894
01:12:05,642 --> 01:12:06,843
comment such as extending

1895
01:12:06,843 --> 01:12:09,790
meeting times adding comment

1896
01:12:09,790 --> 01:12:10,180
periods or scheduling special

1897
01:12:10,180 --> 01:12:12,816
public hearings. Not for photo

1898
01:12:12,816 --> 01:12:13,850
ops like Christmas tree

1899
01:12:13,850 --> 01:12:14,851
lighting ceremonies.

1900
01:12:14,851 --> 01:12:16,820
Additionally the presiding

1901
01:12:16,820 --> 01:12:17,421
officer should not

1902
01:12:17,421 --> 01:12:18,922
unilaterally reduce speaking

1903
01:12:18,922 --> 01:12:19,523
time below the established

1904
01:12:19,523 --> 01:12:20,724
minimum it should be approved

1905
01:12:20,724 --> 01:12:24,280
by a majority vote of the

1906
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:24,628
council. Only under emergency

1907
01:12:24,628 --> 01:12:25,129
conditions and accompanied by

1908
01:12:25,129 --> 01:12:27,129
a written justification

1909
01:12:28,732 --> 01:12:29,900
entered into the public record

1910
01:12:29,900 --> 01:12:31,601
restoring comment to more

1911
01:12:31,601 --> 01:12:32,670
meetings is a step in the

1912
01:12:32,670 --> 01:12:33,304
right direction. But 2 minute

1913
01:12:33,304 --> 01:12:33,871
limits imposed at the

1914
01:12:33,871 --> 01:12:36,871
discretion of the mayor are

1915
01:12:37,341 --> 01:12:39,310
still a barrier and I will say

1916
01:12:39,310 --> 01:12:40,760
I agree with Bob Willoughby.

1917
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:40,677
Put your presentations limited

1918
01:12:40,677 --> 01:12:44,277
to 2 minutes at the bottom of

1919
01:12:45,820 --> 01:12:45,649
the agenda.

1920
01:12:45,649 --> 01:12:48,490
>> Andrew Tory followed by

1921
01:12:57,562 --> 01:12:58,129
Wesley Kirk. Good evening. My

1922
01:12:58,129 --> 01:13:01,499
name is Andrew Tory. I'm a

1923
01:13:01,499 --> 01:13:02,990
resident of Council district

1924
01:13:02,990 --> 01:13:03,134
5. I'm here today to speak in

1925
01:13:03,134 --> 01:13:03,601
favor of Council proposal.

1926
01:13:03,601 --> 01:13:05,601
3.35 brought forth by

1927
01:13:05,702 --> 01:13:08,102
COUNCILMAN Nettles and crane.

1928
01:13:10,475 --> 01:13:11,475
To you. COUNCILMAN Nettles. In

1929
01:13:11,475 --> 01:13:13,210
your statement to the Fort

1930
01:13:13,210 --> 01:13:14,412
Worth for part in an article

1931
01:13:14,412 --> 01:13:14,979
published on JANUARY 8th. You

1932
01:13:14,979 --> 01:13:15,612
stated what you've seen is

1933
01:13:15,612 --> 01:13:18,612
people came out here basically

1934
01:13:19,450 --> 01:13:20,418
using their time to say us are

1935
01:13:20,418 --> 01:13:21,180
right back. I'd like to say I

1936
01:13:21,180 --> 01:13:24,255
agree with your usage of the

1937
01:13:24,255 --> 01:13:25,289
word right. In that statement

1938
01:13:25,289 --> 01:13:26,457
as I tried to articulate last

1939
01:13:26,457 --> 01:13:27,240
week when I spoke, I argue

1940
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:29,227
that public comments are a

1941
01:13:29,227 --> 01:13:29,961
form of petitioning wants

1942
01:13:29,961 --> 01:13:30,662
local government, which is a

1943
01:13:30,662 --> 01:13:32,864
First Amendment right. And the

1944
01:13:32,864 --> 01:13:33,464
vote to reduce public comments

1945
01:13:33,464 --> 01:13:36,464
last fall was an infringement

1946
01:13:36,934 --> 01:13:37,534
on that right. Well, I'm

1947
01:13:37,534 --> 01:13:38,135
pleased to know this proposal

1948
01:13:38,135 --> 01:13:38,703
has bipartisan support and I

1949
01:13:38,703 --> 01:13:41,372
believe it's a good step in

1950
01:13:41,372 --> 01:13:42,140
the right direction. More

1951
01:13:42,140 --> 01:13:43,974
progress must be made

1952
01:13:43,974 --> 01:13:44,576
specifically on the matter of

1953
01:13:44,576 --> 01:13:48,176
time. Allotment and for in a

1954
01:13:48,646 --> 01:13:49,647
virtual option. You know, it

1955
01:13:49,647 --> 01:13:51,415
takes effort for citizens of

1956
01:13:51,415 --> 01:13:51,950
this city to show up to

1957
01:13:51,950 --> 01:13:52,483
council meetings here in

1958
01:13:52,483 --> 01:13:53,510
downtown Fort Worth on a

1959
01:13:53,510 --> 01:13:55,451
Tuesday evening and recite

1960
01:13:56,121 --> 01:13:57,880
their prepared remarks and

1961
01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:57,654
every citizen that does put in

1962
01:13:57,654 --> 01:13:59,190
the effort should know that

1963
01:13:59,190 --> 01:13:59,791
the council is going to

1964
01:13:59,791 --> 01:14:02,191
respect that. And guarantee 3

1965
01:14:03,461 --> 01:14:04,462
minutes to speak, cutting

1966
01:14:04,462 --> 01:14:05,496
down. Everybody's time.

1967
01:14:05,496 --> 01:14:07,132
Allotment last-minute is just

1968
01:14:07,132 --> 01:14:07,699
a slap in the face. Each of us

1969
01:14:07,699 --> 01:14:08,233
and denigrates the concerns

1970
01:14:08,233 --> 01:14:11,233
that citizens speak on at

1971
01:14:11,703 --> 01:14:12,603
these meetings. Issues. I've

1972
01:14:12,603 --> 01:14:13,338
heard addressed here such as

1973
01:14:13,338 --> 01:14:15,738
gun violence, police brutality

1974
01:14:16,341 --> 01:14:16,841
and soil contamination really

1975
01:14:16,841 --> 01:14:19,144
do deserve at minimum 3

1976
01:14:19,144 --> 01:14:22,681
minutes to speak on. Also, I'd

1977
01:14:22,681 --> 01:14:23,348
like to see citizens be able

1978
01:14:23,348 --> 01:14:23,849
to call in to these meetings

1979
01:14:23,849 --> 01:14:26,249
and address the council

1980
01:14:27,953 --> 01:14:28,487
virtually. Working class

1981
01:14:28,487 --> 01:14:29,154
families. Those with

1982
01:14:29,154 --> 01:14:29,588
disabilities or those with

1983
01:14:29,588 --> 01:14:31,588
unreliable means of

1984
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:32,624
transportation in the city

1985
01:14:32,624 --> 01:14:35,600
should have ample means of

1986
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:35,994
petitioning their local

1987
01:14:35,994 --> 01:14:38,394
government if council members

1988
01:14:38,696 --> 01:14:39,631
have an opportunity to attend

1989
01:14:39,631 --> 01:14:40,431
meetings virtually. And so

1990
01:14:40,431 --> 01:14:41,733
should citizens have the

1991
01:14:41,733 --> 01:14:42,367
opportunity to address the

1992
01:14:42,367 --> 01:14:45,367
council virtually it should be

1993
01:14:46,504 --> 01:14:47,639
a two-way Street. No double

1994
01:14:47,639 --> 01:14:49,641
standards. Let's be better and

1995
01:14:49,641 --> 01:14:50,174
do better in 2026 and let's

1996
01:14:50,174 --> 01:14:52,574
start by passing Council

1997
01:14:56,115 --> 01:14:56,715
proposal. 3.35, thank you.

1998
01:14:56,715 --> 01:14:59,715
>> Our next speaker is Wesley

1999
01:15:04,590 --> 01:15:05,124
Kirk followed by cherry Tracy.

2000
01:15:05,124 --> 01:15:05,758
>> I want to thank Chris

2001
01:15:05,758 --> 01:15:06,792
Nettles for leading the charge

2002
01:15:06,792 --> 01:15:07,893
to fix public comment. And

2003
01:15:07,893 --> 01:15:08,761
Michael Crain for bring the

2004
01:15:08,761 --> 01:15:09,695
issue back into all the

2005
01:15:09,695 --> 01:15:10,295
council members who are about

2006
01:15:10,295 --> 01:15:10,896
to vote in favor of restoring

2007
01:15:10,896 --> 01:15:12,898
public comments back to what

2008
01:15:12,898 --> 01:15:16,498
it should be an opportunity to

2009
01:15:16,702 --> 01:15:17,569
hear from your constituents.

2010
01:15:17,569 --> 01:15:19,605
It feels like some of you have

2011
01:15:19,605 --> 01:15:20,206
looked down on the very idea

2012
01:15:20,206 --> 01:15:21,730
of public comment as a waste

2013
01:15:21,730 --> 01:15:21,640
of time as merely a chance for

2014
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,342
the rabble-rouser is to air

2015
01:15:24,342 --> 01:15:24,976
their later latest grievances.

2016
01:15:24,976 --> 01:15:27,146
But I trust, you know, in your

2017
01:15:27,146 --> 01:15:29,348
hearts that it is far more

2018
01:15:29,348 --> 01:15:30,649
than that. It is a right and

2019
01:15:30,649 --> 01:15:31,283
and democracy to address our

2020
01:15:31,283 --> 01:15:31,817
government. It is a chance for

2021
01:15:31,817 --> 01:15:34,190
us as residents to bring

2022
01:15:34,190 --> 01:15:36,922
problems to light and as

2023
01:15:36,922 --> 01:15:38,123
chance for us to offer

2024
01:15:38,123 --> 01:15:40,126
solutions which is what I

2025
01:15:40,126 --> 01:15:41,260
would like to help do today

2026
01:15:41,260 --> 01:15:42,228
during the pandemic. It was

2027
01:15:42,228 --> 01:15:44,950
finally possible to address

2028
01:15:44,950 --> 01:15:45,331
the City Council virtually

2029
01:15:45,331 --> 01:15:45,931
which opened up opportunities

2030
01:15:45,931 --> 01:15:48,868
for many who have often been

2031
01:15:48,868 --> 01:15:50,302
left out of the conversation

2032
01:15:50,302 --> 01:15:50,770
such as working families

2033
01:15:50,770 --> 01:15:52,770
caregivers. Those of

2034
01:15:53,706 --> 01:15:54,707
transportation barriers, those

2035
01:15:54,707 --> 01:15:55,808
with disabilities. When you

2036
01:15:55,808 --> 01:15:57,844
took away the virtual option,

2037
01:15:57,844 --> 01:15:58,711
you took away their access.

2038
01:15:58,711 --> 01:15:59,345
Some of the most vulnerable

2039
01:15:59,345 --> 01:16:01,747
and hardworking a moment among

2040
01:16:01,747 --> 01:16:02,882
us whose voices desperately

2041
01:16:02,882 --> 01:16:03,415
matter. I urge you to bring

2042
01:16:03,415 --> 01:16:06,180
back the public option so

2043
01:16:06,180 --> 01:16:07,220
their voices can be heard

2044
01:16:07,220 --> 01:16:07,720
again, another recent very or

2045
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:09,522
has been the sudden and

2046
01:16:09,522 --> 01:16:11,524
arbitrary limits to people's

2047
01:16:11,524 --> 01:16:12,358
time for as long as I've been

2048
01:16:12,358 --> 01:16:12,959
attending City Council

2049
01:16:12,959 --> 01:16:15,359
meetings. People have always

2050
01:16:16,162 --> 01:16:17,630
had 3 minutes to speak. Many

2051
01:16:17,630 --> 01:16:17,597
spent hours reading their

2052
01:16:17,597 --> 01:16:18,197
speeches rehearsing them,

2053
01:16:18,197 --> 01:16:21,197
rewriting them to fit within

2054
01:16:21,267 --> 01:16:23,236
the time limit. They take off

2055
01:16:23,236 --> 01:16:23,836
work arrange childcare drive

2056
01:16:23,836 --> 01:16:24,437
long distances and patiently

2057
01:16:24,437 --> 01:16:26,239
wait for their turn to speak

2058
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:28,942
to each of you to those here

2059
01:16:28,942 --> 01:16:30,109
in this room and to those

2060
01:16:30,109 --> 01:16:30,977
watching online. When you cut

2061
01:16:30,977 --> 01:16:33,179
that time, especially with

2062
01:16:33,179 --> 01:16:33,980
little to no notice. You are

2063
01:16:33,980 --> 01:16:35,147
telling the residents of Fort

2064
01:16:35,147 --> 01:16:35,715
Worth that you don't care what

2065
01:16:35,715 --> 01:16:36,349
they have to say. You don't

2066
01:16:36,349 --> 01:16:39,520
care what sacrifices they made

2067
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:40,186
to be here that they don't

2068
01:16:40,186 --> 01:16:41,540
matter and you don't respect

2069
01:16:41,540 --> 01:16:41,688
them. I urge you to guarantee

2070
01:16:41,688 --> 01:16:44,880
3 minutes for every individual

2071
01:16:45,910 --> 01:16:46,910
speaker Council meetings

2072
01:16:46,910 --> 01:16:46,993
putting public comment back at

2073
01:16:46,993 --> 01:16:47,493
every regular Council meeting

2074
01:16:47,493 --> 01:16:49,896
is a great step towards

2075
01:16:49,896 --> 01:16:51,300
allowing residents to address

2076
01:16:51,300 --> 01:16:51,964
concerns. And I commend you

2077
01:16:51,964 --> 01:16:53,133
all for that. But it still

2078
01:16:53,133 --> 01:16:53,933
doesn't fix what's broken

2079
01:16:53,933 --> 01:16:55,100
right now is a golden

2080
01:16:55,100 --> 01:16:55,568
opportunity for use a counsel

2081
01:16:55,568 --> 01:16:58,838
to make clear the fact that

2082
01:16:58,838 --> 01:16:59,806
you respect your constituents

2083
01:16:59,806 --> 01:17:01,942
that you want us to be

2084
01:17:01,942 --> 01:17:02,575
included. You want to hear. We

2085
01:17:02,575 --> 01:17:03,210
have to say and make sure that

2086
01:17:03,210 --> 01:17:03,810
no one takes away that right.

2087
01:17:03,810 --> 01:17:06,810
Again, I'm looking forward to

2088
01:17:07,180 --> 01:17:07,781
see how each of vote.

2089
01:17:07,781 --> 01:17:08,315
>> Our next speaker is Jerry

2090
01:17:08,315 --> 01:17:10,715
Tracy followed by Monday.

2091
01:17:22,695 --> 01:17:23,230
Tackett. The this really quite

2092
01:17:23,230 --> 01:17:23,764
microphone. Good evening.

2093
01:17:23,764 --> 01:17:26,164
Mayor Parker and council

2094
01:17:26,566 --> 01:17:27,234
members. My name is Jerry

2095
01:17:27,234 --> 01:17:29,569
Tracy and I'm the executive

2096
01:17:29,569 --> 01:17:32,606
director of a charity 5, a one

2097
01:17:32,606 --> 01:17:35,542
c 3 historic Fort Worth Inc.

2098
01:17:35,542 --> 01:17:36,109
>> Since 2005.

2099
01:17:36,109 --> 01:17:38,509
>> Historic Fort Worth has

2100
01:17:39,812 --> 01:17:41,348
banned more concern about the

2101
01:17:41,348 --> 01:17:43,748
future of our 1911 beaux-arts

2102
01:17:45,319 --> 01:17:47,787
style, power plant. That was

2103
01:17:47,787 --> 01:17:48,389
the year the smokestacks were

2104
01:17:48,389 --> 01:17:51,389
demolished for fear that they

2105
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:55,195
were dangerous. We sought the

2106
01:17:55,195 --> 01:17:58,195
advice of a power plant

2107
01:17:58,898 --> 01:17:59,532
specialist in the Northeast or

2108
01:17:59,532 --> 01:18:00,400
our country. It was willing to

2109
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,804
come down and it just didn't

2110
01:18:03,804 --> 01:18:04,371
make any sense at that time to

2111
01:18:04,371 --> 01:18:07,971
do people who owned it and

2112
01:18:09,109 --> 01:18:10,577
ownership has changed chance.

2113
01:18:10,577 --> 01:18:11,111
We look back again in 2012 and

2114
01:18:11,111 --> 01:18:13,511
appreciate the efforts of

2115
01:18:14,148 --> 01:18:14,848
doctor Elizabeth Loudoun

2116
01:18:14,848 --> 01:18:17,248
brought her Texas Tech

2117
01:18:18,686 --> 01:18:19,253
architecture students to Fort

2118
01:18:19,253 --> 01:18:22,253

2119
01:18:23,124 --> 01:18:26,293

2120
01:18:26,293 --> 01:18:26,893

partnership that generated a

2131
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:50,482
lot of economic development.

2132
01:18:50,851 --> 01:18:53,251
>> Around the power plant.

2133
01:18:54,989 --> 01:18:56,989
>> 3 seconds. Seconds. 3

2134
01:18:59,861 --> 01:19:00,361
seconds. Okay. Well.

2135
01:19:00,361 --> 01:19:00,995

remember often said just plug

2144
01:19:17,378 --> 01:19:18,279
me and I'm ready.

2145
01:19:18,279 --> 01:19:18,847
>> Instead let's plug in the

2146
01:19:18,847 --> 01:19:20,847

2147
01:19:24,252 --> 01:19:24,853
you.

2148
01:19:24,853 --> 01:19:25,353
>> Our next speaker is Mindy

2149
01:19:25,353 --> 01:19:27,353
tackett followed peers

2150
01:19:32,930 --> 01:19:32,727
Whiteside. Good evening,

2151
01:19:32,727 --> 01:19:33,328
everybody. I want to say thank

2152
01:19:33,328 --> 01:19:36,264
you to those on this Council

2153
01:19:36,264 --> 01:19:36,865
who have listened to the

2154
01:19:36,865 --> 01:19:39,865
public and are taking action

2155
01:19:40,669 --> 01:19:42,400
to reinstate public comment. I

2156
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:43,204
hope you will continue and

2157
01:19:43,204 --> 01:19:44,390
that spirit by ensuring that

2158
01:19:44,390 --> 01:19:44,639
every resident has afforded

2159
01:19:44,639 --> 01:19:47,639
full 3 minutes to address the

2160
01:19:48,242 --> 01:19:48,709
spotty. There are many

2161
01:19:48,709 --> 01:19:49,243
important issues that

2162
01:19:49,243 --> 01:19:51,643
residents look forward to

2163
01:19:53,615 --> 01:19:54,249
engaging with you on through

2164
01:19:54,249 --> 01:19:56,510
public comment. One such issue

2165
01:19:56,510 --> 01:19:56,617
is the need to increase

2166
01:19:56,617 --> 01:19:58,617
increased compensation for

2167
01:19:59,921 --> 01:20:01,890
council members to a fair

2168
01:20:01,890 --> 01:20:02,658
living wage that reflects the

2169
01:20:02,658 --> 01:20:03,258
responsibilities of this role

2170
01:20:03,258 --> 01:20:06,328
and allows a broader range of

2171
01:20:06,328 --> 01:20:07,620
people to serve actually do

2172
01:20:07,620 --> 01:20:09,960
support that because I think

2173
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,496
more people shouldn't, you

2174
01:20:12,300 --> 01:20:12,934
know, pay should be a

2175
01:20:12,934 --> 01:20:14,469
hindrance and it's much harder

2176
01:20:14,469 --> 01:20:17,773
for any of us to publicly

2177
01:20:17,773 --> 01:20:20,773
present ideas like that. If

2178
01:20:21,209 --> 01:20:21,810
our opportunities to do so are

2179
01:20:21,810 --> 01:20:25,410
cut and topics like that can

2180
01:20:25,814 --> 01:20:29,414
take a full 3 minutes and and

2181
01:20:29,718 --> 01:20:30,352
tonight had to choose, I guess

2182
01:20:30,352 --> 01:20:30,986
between her, her 2 things that

2183
01:20:30,986 --> 01:20:33,555
she wanted to speak on because

2184
01:20:33,555 --> 01:20:34,123
she only had 2 minutes and

2185
01:20:34,123 --> 01:20:37,723
that that makes no sense to

2186
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,998
me. But thank you all for your

2187
01:20:42,998 --> 01:20:43,932
time. Your consideration. I

2188
01:20:43,932 --> 01:20:44,934
urge the council to follow

2189
01:20:44,934 --> 01:20:47,436
through on its commitment to

2190
01:20:47,436 --> 01:20:48,103
transparency in public

2191
01:20:48,103 --> 01:20:51,400
engagement by returning to a

2192
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:51,607
broad public comment schedule

2193
01:20:51,607 --> 01:20:54,700
that serves all residents.

2194
01:20:55,344 --> 01:20:55,944
Thank you guys. Pierce

2195
01:20:55,944 --> 01:20:58,944
Whiteside will be followed by

2196
01:21:03,985 --> 01:21:04,620
Steven Bryant.

2197
01:21:04,620 --> 01:21:06,620
>> evening, everyone. District

2198
01:21:09,825 --> 01:21:10,426
9.

2199
01:21:10,426 --> 01:21:11,600
>> First and foremost. I want

2200
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:12,600
to say thank you for having us

2201
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:12,828
here this evening to express

2202
01:21:12,828 --> 01:21:13,395
our First Amendment rights.

2203
01:21:13,395 --> 01:21:13,996
I'm honored to be a part of

2204
01:21:13,996 --> 01:21:16,396
this democratic process here

2205
01:21:17,433 --> 01:21:18,601
in my city. Lived in for my

2206
01:21:18,601 --> 01:21:19,202
entire life, which is exactly

2207
01:21:19,202 --> 01:21:22,171
why I'm here today to express

2208
01:21:22,171 --> 01:21:22,745
the importance of public

2209
01:21:22,745 --> 01:21:23,339
comments. We're a nation of

2210
01:21:23,339 --> 01:21:24,640
equals and I believe that is

2211
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:25,241
something our institutions and

2212
01:21:25,241 --> 01:21:27,641
leaders y'all have seemingly

2213
01:21:29,512 --> 01:21:30,178
lost sight of and these past

2214
01:21:30,178 --> 01:21:31,246
tumultuous years. The position

2215
01:21:31,246 --> 01:21:33,783
that all of the sudden are

2216
01:21:33,783 --> 01:21:35,840
elected by us which we are

2217
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:35,852
thankful for your public

2218
01:21:35,852 --> 01:21:37,787
servants who are meant to

2219
01:21:37,787 --> 01:21:38,354
listen to your constituents

2220
01:21:38,354 --> 01:21:39,989
and make informed decisions

2221
01:21:39,989 --> 01:21:41,390
about their wants needs. And

2222
01:21:41,390 --> 01:21:42,250
in order to pass laws and

2223
01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:44,360
emboldened the freedoms we are

2224
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:44,927
privileged to here in the

2225
01:21:44,927 --> 01:21:45,428
United States. And most of

2226
01:21:45,428 --> 01:21:47,664
those regions as equal

2227
01:21:47,664 --> 01:21:48,864
representation and freedom of

2228
01:21:48,864 --> 01:21:49,432
speech. Citizens of this great

2229
01:21:49,432 --> 01:21:52,432
nation the right to express

2230
01:21:52,535 --> 01:21:55,438
our thoughts and concerns on

2231
01:21:55,438 --> 01:21:56,380
decisions that are being made

2232
01:21:56,380 --> 01:21:56,573
that will directly affect us

2233
01:21:56,573 --> 01:21:57,907
because of the freedom to

2234
01:21:57,907 --> 01:21:58,540
question criticize

2235
01:21:58,540 --> 01:22:01,540
congratulate the laws that are

2236
01:22:01,745 --> 01:22:02,812
being passed or proposed

2237
01:22:02,812 --> 01:22:04,680
people should be able to

2238
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:04,914
express their disagreements.

2239
01:22:04,914 --> 01:22:05,220
There b#

2240
01:22:05,220 --> 01:22:05,129
#

2241
01:22:05,129 --> 01:22:05,232
#

2242
01:22:05,232 --> 01:22:05,382
#

2243
01:22:05,382 --> 01:22:06,150
their names

2244
01:22:06,150 --> 01:22:07,851
without being threatened to be

2245
01:22:07,851 --> 01:22:08,417
pulled away for arrest by an

2246
01:22:08,417 --> 01:22:10,286
officer. Not only is this a

2247
01:22:10,286 --> 01:22:13,286
common sense decision. But it

2248
01:22:14,624 --> 01:22:15,325
is constitutionally protected.

2249
01:22:15,325 --> 01:22:17,360
Furthermore, as a good friend

2250
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:17,961
pointed out to me, the act of

2251
01:22:17,961 --> 01:22:18,962
housing, the amount of times

2252
01:22:18,962 --> 01:22:21,798
that citizens of Fort Worth

2253
01:22:21,798 --> 01:22:22,866
are allowed to attend public

2254
01:22:22,866 --> 01:22:24,434
comments is like ignoring have

2255
01:22:24,434 --> 01:22:25,100
to phone calls. You get from

2256
01:22:25,100 --> 01:22:28,100
your boss, your landlord or

2257
01:22:29,673 --> 01:22:30,407
your mother jokes aside, we

2258
01:22:30,407 --> 01:22:31,541
put you here. We voted for you

2259
01:22:31,541 --> 01:22:32,442
here. And once again are

2260
01:22:32,442 --> 01:22:34,511
thankful. We have an important

2261
01:22:34,511 --> 01:22:35,112
job to do and has to represent

2262
01:22:35,112 --> 01:22:38,112
us. I'm asking for 3 minutes.

2263
01:22:38,281 --> 01:22:40,217
No more, no less. I feel it is

2264
01:22:40,217 --> 01:22:41,160
only fair if you listen to the

2265
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:42,352
comments of the people.

2266
01:22:42,352 --> 01:22:44,187
Individually for 3 minutes at

2267
01:22:44,187 --> 01:22:44,888
the beginning each session

2268
01:22:44,888 --> 01:22:45,422
will take time out of our days

2269
01:22:45,422 --> 01:22:49,622
to be serve and to us not

2270
01:22:49,726 --> 01:22:50,794
royalty. We're not here to

2271
01:22:50,794 --> 01:22:52,796
argue with you all. We are

2272
01:22:52,796 --> 01:22:53,397
here to have a discussion

2273
01:22:53,397 --> 01:22:53,964
we're contending in order to

2274
01:22:53,964 --> 01:22:54,565
create a bigger and better

2275
01:22:54,565 --> 01:22:57,565
Fort Worth everyone. I mean,

2276
01:22:57,668 --> 01:22:58,635
everyone in this room knows

2277
01:22:58,635 --> 01:22:59,303
the city is going places. So

2278
01:22:59,303 --> 01:22:59,937
let's work together Council to

2279
01:22:59,937 --> 01:23:03,537
make this a better and more

2280
01:23:04,908 --> 01:23:05,509
free American city. Thank

2281
01:23:05,509 --> 01:23:07,909
>> Steven Bryant followed by

2282
01:23:12,783 --> 01:23:13,350
Skyler thought.

2283
01:23:13,350 --> 01:23:15,750
>> Good evening. I'm Steven

2284
01:23:18,822 --> 01:23:19,423
Bryant. Want to personally

2285
01:23:19,423 --> 01:23:19,890
thank COUNCILMAN Nettles and

2286
01:23:19,890 --> 01:23:20,524
COUNCILMAN Crane for

2287
01:23:20,524 --> 01:23:22,559
championing the restoration of

2288
01:23:22,559 --> 01:23:23,127
public comments. And the other

2289
01:23:23,127 --> 01:23:25,527
council members also signed

2290
01:23:27,598 --> 01:23:29,199
on. Having looked over the

2291
01:23:29,199 --> 01:23:30,234
document. It a few

2292
01:23:30,234 --> 01:23:31,135
adjustments. I'm proposing at

2293
01:23:31,135 --> 01:23:31,736
the same guidelines of

2294
01:23:31,736 --> 01:23:33,736
enhancing efficiency, public

2295
01:23:35,606 --> 01:23:36,474
engagement, responsible growth

2296
01:23:36,474 --> 01:23:37,607
every speaker has the full and

2297
01:23:37,607 --> 01:23:38,208
dedicated 3 minutes to speak,

2298
01:23:38,208 --> 01:23:41,712
no matter how many people are

2299
01:23:41,712 --> 01:23:42,779
signed up to speak. These

2300
01:23:42,779 --> 01:23:44,815
people made the choice to be

2301
01:23:44,815 --> 01:23:45,382
here before the council person

2302
01:23:45,382 --> 01:23:46,951
and giving them the whole a

2303
01:23:46,951 --> 01:23:48,953
lot of time shows respect for

2304
01:23:48,953 --> 01:23:49,520
not only their opinion but

2305
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:50,870
also shows that the council

2306
01:23:50,870 --> 01:23:51,489
genuinely cares about what

2307
01:23:51,489 --> 01:23:52,560
their constituents have to

2308
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,920
say. Even if it is nothing

2309
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,920
more than a complaint. Bring

2310
01:23:58,996 --> 01:23:59,530
back the virtual option,

2311
01:23:59,530 --> 01:24:00,231
public comment unfolding,

2312
01:24:00,231 --> 01:24:01,265
responsible growth by bringing

2313
01:24:01,265 --> 01:24:01,898
back the option to share

2314
01:24:01,898 --> 01:24:04,298
public comments. Virtually not

2315
01:24:04,435 --> 01:24:05,360
only saves the speaker time.

2316
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,360
It also makes speaking before

2317
01:24:08,272 --> 01:24:10,174
the council more accessible as

2318
01:24:10,174 --> 01:24:11,208
the 11th soon to be the 10

2319
01:24:11,208 --> 01:24:11,809
largest city in the nation. It

2320
01:24:11,809 --> 01:24:15,790
would be a disservice not to

2321
01:24:15,790 --> 01:24:15,980
give constituents and online

2322
01:24:15,980 --> 01:24:17,810
option, especially in a

2323
01:24:17,810 --> 01:24:19,183
digital world where work

2324
01:24:19,183 --> 01:24:19,750
meetings are held online and

2325
01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:20,351
councilmembers himself have

2326
01:24:20,351 --> 01:24:20,818
been seen attending via video

2327
01:24:20,818 --> 01:24:23,818
and the could not be

2328
01:24:23,988 --> 01:24:24,589
physically present. Bring

2329
01:24:24,589 --> 01:24:26,891
couple public comments to the

2330
01:24:26,891 --> 01:24:28,126
front of the agenda instead of

2331
01:24:28,126 --> 01:24:29,960
the back in the spirit of

2332
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,610
enhancing public engagement.

2333
01:24:31,610 --> 01:24:32,300
More people would be open to

2334
01:24:32,300 --> 01:24:34,198
willing to speak to the

2335
01:24:34,198 --> 01:24:34,799
council if they knew that

2336
01:24:34,799 --> 01:24:37,669
they'd have long wait times.

2337
01:24:37,669 --> 01:24:39,137
Didn't have a long wait times

2338
01:24:39,137 --> 01:24:40,205
just for the 3 minutes. I

2339
01:24:40,205 --> 01:24:40,771
invite you to let them speak

2340
01:24:40,771 --> 01:24:41,372
first and then stick around

2341
01:24:41,372 --> 01:24:44,972
for the meeting if they would

2342
01:24:44,976 --> 01:24:46,444
like to. And number 4, if for

2343
01:24:46,444 --> 01:24:47,912
whatever reason it is

2344
01:24:47,912 --> 01:24:48,579
necessary to cut time for the

2345
01:24:48,579 --> 01:24:49,460
speakers. Have it be a vote

2346
01:24:49,460 --> 01:24:51,316
based decision by the

2347
01:24:51,316 --> 01:24:51,850
attending council members to

2348
01:24:51,850 --> 01:24:54,850
include the mayor at the

2349
01:24:55,186 --> 01:24:55,754
beginning of the meeting, this

2350
01:24:55,754 --> 01:24:56,354
delegates power to all the

2351
01:24:56,354 --> 01:24:58,890
council members and doing it

2352
01:24:58,890 --> 01:24:59,624
in front of us gives

2353
01:24:59,624 --> 01:25:02,294
reasoning. That is it is

2354
01:25:02,294 --> 01:25:03,194
indeed necessary and not

2355
01:25:03,194 --> 01:25:05,963
arbitrary in closing and using

2356
01:25:05,963 --> 01:25:07,298
the same guidelines of the

2357
01:25:07,298 --> 01:25:09,133
original document. There would

2358
01:25:09,133 --> 01:25:09,968
be no additional fiscal cost

2359
01:25:09,968 --> 01:25:10,602
to do these things. It is

2360
01:25:10,602 --> 01:25:12,700
legal and within the authority

2361
01:25:12,700 --> 01:25:13,710
of the City Council and it

2362
01:25:13,710 --> 01:25:13,471
would help the city stay more

2363
01:25:13,471 --> 01:25:14,105
connected to the

2364
01:25:14,105 --> 01:25:14,739
representatives, which is what

2365
01:25:14,739 --> 01:25:14,939
we all want. At the end of the

2366
01:25:14,939 --> 01:25:16,939
day.

2367
01:25:23,148 --> 01:25:23,748
>> Thank you.

2368
01:25:23,748 --> 01:25:24,249

by Sabrina ball.

2372
01:25:34,993 --> 01:25:37,993
>> I'm scared, too. You know,

2373
01:25:39,832 --> 01:25:40,399
it's French. I totally

2374
01:25:40,399 --> 01:25:41,330
understand. I have spent 20

2375
01:25:41,330 --> 01:25:41,666
years my life living in Plano,

2376
01:25:41,666 --> 01:25:42,668
Texas than 10 years of my life

2377
01:25:42,668 --> 01:25:43,301
living in Dallas, Texas

2378
01:25:43,301 --> 01:25:46,537
tonight now. But in Fort Worth

2379
01:25:46,537 --> 01:25:47,106
for one year and in the year

2380
01:25:47,106 --> 01:25:50,442
that I've been here. I felt

2381
01:25:50,442 --> 01:25:50,976
more civic pride. For Fort

2382
01:25:50,976 --> 01:25:54,576
Worth and I ever did for

2383
01:25:55,214 --> 01:25:56,315
dollar Plano and I. I actually

2384
01:25:56,315 --> 01:25:57,549
never went to City Council

2385
01:25:57,549 --> 01:25:58,182
meeting in Dallas and I only

2386
01:25:58,182 --> 01:26:01,453
went to a city Council meeting

2387
01:26:01,453 --> 01:26:02,870
in Plano to get my says such a

2388
01:26:02,870 --> 01:26:05,687
ship in the nation merit badge

2389
01:26:06,158 --> 01:26:06,892
for my Eagle scout. But I'm

2390
01:26:06,892 --> 01:26:07,458
here today because I love the

2391
01:26:07,458 --> 01:26:10,280
city already. And I've met

2392
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:11,196
some amazing people are very

2393
01:26:11,196 --> 01:26:13,766
interested in making the city

2394
01:26:13,766 --> 01:26:14,266
as great can be. And if I

2395
01:26:14,266 --> 01:26:15,834
didn't care about it, I

2396
01:26:15,834 --> 01:26:18,834
would've come. And I think

2397
01:26:19,137 --> 01:26:19,738
it's important that. Says of

2398
01:26:19,738 --> 01:26:21,740
the city can have the chance

2399
01:26:21,740 --> 01:26:23,776
to come here and speak at the

2400
01:26:23,776 --> 01:26:26,511
start of the meeting. I think

2401
01:26:26,511 --> 01:26:27,546
when you put comment at the

2402
01:26:27,546 --> 01:26:31,116
end it serves to make it seem

2403
01:26:31,116 --> 01:26:31,717
less important. I think that

2404
01:26:31,717 --> 01:26:32,351
it's also important to ensure

2405
01:26:32,351 --> 01:26:35,221
that people have the right for

2406
01:26:35,221 --> 01:26:35,888
the full 3 minutes. If there

2407
01:26:35,888 --> 01:26:36,421
is a reason why that doesn't

2408
01:26:36,421 --> 01:26:38,624
happen. I think that that

2409
01:26:38,624 --> 01:26:39,192
should voted on and made

2410
01:26:39,192 --> 01:26:41,561
explicit. I think a virtual

2411
01:26:41,561 --> 01:26:44,296
option makes sense for the

2412
01:26:44,296 --> 01:26:45,431
entire says the ship. A lot of

2413
01:26:45,431 --> 01:26:49,310
us have a lot of opportunities

2414
01:26:49,469 --> 01:26:50,690
to the mobile and to make it

2415
01:26:50,690 --> 01:26:52,372
here tonight. But many don't

2416
01:26:52,372 --> 01:26:53,538
think's important those same

2417
01:26:53,538 --> 01:26:54,539
people had the opportunity

2418
01:26:54,539 --> 01:26:55,174
come here as well. And so I

2419
01:26:55,174 --> 01:26:59,780
thank you for what each of you

2420
01:26:59,780 --> 01:26:59,645
do on the individual human

2421
01:26:59,645 --> 01:27:01,614
level. I'm very proud to be

2422
01:27:01,614 --> 01:27:02,148
from district 2 as well.

2423
01:27:02,148 --> 01:27:03,616
>> But I also think that

2424
01:27:03,616 --> 01:27:06,616
because of that, there's more

2425
01:27:06,853 --> 01:27:09,253
we can and that.

2426
01:27:10,823 --> 01:27:12,158
>> We make the city even

2427
01:27:12,158 --> 01:27:12,792
better for my daughter who

2428
01:27:12,792 --> 01:27:13,393
loves us as well and hopefully

2429
01:27:13,393 --> 01:27:17,593
be up here some day as well.

2430
01:27:18,731 --> 01:27:19,299
Thank you.

2431
01:27:19,299 --> 01:27:21,699
>> Sabrina ball followed by

2432
01:27:34,114 --> 01:27:34,980
David Rodriguez.

2433
01:27:34,980 --> 01:27:37,980
>> We've been accused of doing

2434
01:27:38,585 --> 01:27:39,219
this for sound bites. When you

2435
01:27:39,219 --> 01:27:39,819
force people to compress their

2436
01:27:39,819 --> 01:27:42,219
concerns into short phrases.

2437
01:27:43,220 --> 01:27:43,623
That's what you're going to

2438
01:27:43,623 --> 01:27:44,558
get. Last week I had to cut a

2439
01:27:44,558 --> 01:27:45,725
lot of nuance out of my

2440
01:27:45,725 --> 01:27:48,261
comments to hit 2 minutes and

2441
01:27:48,261 --> 01:27:49,162
I failed probably going to do

2442
01:27:49,162 --> 01:27:51,562
it again. It's frustrating.

2443
01:27:51,798 --> 01:27:52,465
It's a waste of everyone's

2444
01:27:52,465 --> 01:27:55,102
time. The concerns we bring

2445
01:27:55,102 --> 01:27:55,969
here is for families are

2446
01:27:55,969 --> 01:27:56,470
warranted and there are facts

2447
01:27:56,470 --> 01:27:58,870
I couldn't share simply

2448
01:27:59,939 --> 01:28:01,208
because of time. I know

2449
01:28:01,208 --> 01:28:01,875
exactly what happens when

2450
01:28:01,875 --> 01:28:04,275
public comment is constrained

2451
01:28:04,745 --> 01:28:05,312
because I lived it at Fort

2452
01:28:05,312 --> 01:28:08,312
Worth isd. I started making

2453
01:28:09,490 --> 01:28:09,616
public comment at school board

2454
01:28:09,616 --> 01:28:10,150
meetings to advocate for a

2455
01:28:10,150 --> 01:28:12,550
very specific needs that

2456
01:28:13,860 --> 01:28:14,555
directly affected students and

2457
01:28:14,555 --> 01:28:15,989
families winter. Speaking time

2458
01:28:15,989 --> 01:28:18,389
was cut meaningful advocacy

2459
01:28:18,825 --> 01:28:19,826
became impossible. This is

2460
01:28:19,826 --> 01:28:22,226
already hard. Public comment

2461
01:28:22,729 --> 01:28:23,297
should not be intimidating by

2462
01:28:23,297 --> 01:28:25,933
design. I learned from the

2463
01:28:25,933 --> 01:28:26,700
most practiced public

2464
01:28:26,700 --> 01:28:29,100
commenters your friend or

2465
01:28:29,136 --> 01:28:30,137
culture church and groups like

2466
01:28:30,137 --> 01:28:32,537
Patriot mobile while families

2467
01:28:32,806 --> 01:28:34,410
were trying to advocate for

2468
01:28:34,410 --> 01:28:34,941
classroom needs those groups

2469
01:28:34,941 --> 01:28:36,142
flooded the boardroom to fight

2470
01:28:36,142 --> 01:28:38,542
culture wars like opposing

2471
01:28:39,246 --> 01:28:39,946
sex. Ed. Result was

2472
01:28:39,946 --> 01:28:40,580
predictable. The voices of

2473
01:28:40,580 --> 01:28:41,882
actual students, educators and

2474
01:28:41,882 --> 01:28:43,617
families were drowned out and

2475
01:28:43,617 --> 01:28:46,586
we saw what happened there.

2476
01:28:46,586 --> 01:28:48,690
That's the lesson I'm bringing

2477
01:28:48,690 --> 01:28:50,658
here. When you restrict public

2478
01:28:50,658 --> 01:28:51,158
comment, you don't elevate

2479
01:28:51,158 --> 01:28:53,158
civility privilege. The

2480
01:28:53,427 --> 01:28:53,994
loudest, most organized

2481
01:28:53,994 --> 01:28:56,994
interests. And yes, I know

2482
01:28:58,432 --> 01:28:59,299
that can be This should be a

2483
01:28:59,299 --> 01:28:59,867
place regular families can

2484
01:28:59,867 --> 01:29:02,867
hear from one another about

2485
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:04,205
what's happening in our city

2486
01:29:04,205 --> 01:29:06,974
and where they can participate

2487
01:29:06,974 --> 01:29:08,420
easily a full 3 minutes

2488
01:29:08,420 --> 01:29:09,760
virtual participation and

2489
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:09,943
putting public comment first

2490
01:29:09,943 --> 01:29:10,444
on the agenda. Ensures that

2491
01:29:10,444 --> 01:29:12,444
public square actually

2492
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:13,948
functions as one. Some of the

2493
01:29:13,948 --> 01:29:14,482
issues I care about. I

2494
01:29:14,482 --> 01:29:17,180
wouldn't know about if I

2495
01:29:17,180 --> 01:29:17,552
didn't hear it here. That

2496
01:29:17,552 --> 01:29:18,152
doesn't happen in private

2497
01:29:18,152 --> 01:29:20,552
appointments. It happens in

2498
01:29:21,689 --> 01:29:22,289
public at the end of the day,

2499
01:29:22,289 --> 01:29:24,692
we don't want to sound bites

2500
01:29:24,692 --> 01:29:26,794
either. We want to the

2501
01:29:26,794 --> 01:29:27,395
community space that values

2502
01:29:27,395 --> 01:29:28,290
Fort Worth residents. You MAY

2503
01:29:28,290 --> 01:29:29,931
not always be comfortable with

2504
01:29:29,931 --> 01:29:32,299
what bring here. It makes the

2505
01:29:32,299 --> 01:29:32,734
city more informed, more

2506
01:29:32,734 --> 01:29:34,734
inclusive and more

2507
01:29:39,173 --> 01:29:39,673
accountable. It's worth it.

2508
01:29:39,673 --> 01:29:42,730
David Rodriguez will be

2509
01:29:51,619 --> 01:29:52,186
followed by Denise cordon.

2510
01:29:52,186 --> 01:29:54,422
>> There are guests like to

2511
01:29:54,422 --> 01:29:54,989
give a quick. Thank you. Says

2512
01:29:54,989 --> 01:29:55,523
4 worst for being vocal in

2513
01:29:55,523 --> 01:29:57,592
undertaking. This work to

2514
01:29:57,592 --> 01:30:01,290
allow the people to have their

2515
01:30:01,290 --> 01:30:01,629
voice be heard here at City

2516
01:30:01,629 --> 01:30:03,965
Council. And of course I can

2517
01:30:03,965 --> 01:30:04,499
give props. So and that's I'm

2518
01:30:04,499 --> 01:30:06,134
going crazy based on this

2519
01:30:06,134 --> 01:30:09,134
paper. We have 6 members who

2520
01:30:10,338 --> 01:30:12,440
signed that they would

2521
01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:13,410
advocate for bringing back

2522
01:30:13,410 --> 01:30:13,574
these public comments. Those

2523
01:30:13,574 --> 01:30:15,510
are councilmembers Chris

2524
01:30:15,510 --> 01:30:16,440
Nettles, Michael Crain,

2525
01:30:16,440 --> 01:30:16,611
Deborah peoples, Florida

2526
01:30:16,611 --> 01:30:19,147
docked in the hall. And of

2527
01:30:19,147 --> 01:30:19,714
course, mayor, many Parker.

2528
01:30:19,714 --> 01:30:22,714
>> However, I would like to

2529
01:30:24,752 --> 01:30:24,919
have a comment fed by Malcolm

2530
01:30:24,919 --> 01:30:25,520
x.

2531
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:26,487
>> If you stick a knife in my

2532
01:30:26,487 --> 01:30:26,988
back. 9 inches and only pull 6

2533
01:30:26,988 --> 01:30:29,388
inches out. That's not

2534
01:30:31,359 --> 01:30:32,927
progress. Even if you

2535
01:30:32,927 --> 01:30:33,495
completely pull the knife out.

2536
01:30:33,495 --> 01:30:34,950
That's still not progress.

2537
01:30:34,950 --> 01:30:37,950
Progress is making sure that

2538
01:30:37,565 --> 01:30:38,200
the wound is healed. So then

2539
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:39,601
and even then some of you want

2540
01:30:39,601 --> 01:30:40,135
to admit that the knife is

2541
01:30:40,135 --> 01:30:43,135
there. So then what does

2542
01:30:44,940 --> 01:30:47,843
progress look like. So I know

2543
01:30:47,843 --> 01:30:48,477
I was door has said when last

2544
01:30:48,477 --> 01:30:52,770
meeting when this was voted on

2545
01:30:52,114 --> 01:30:52,814
that only hears his complaint

2546
01:30:52,814 --> 01:30:53,448
and no solutions. But I've

2547
01:30:53,448 --> 01:30:54,490
heard plenty of solutions, not

2548
01:30:54,490 --> 01:30:56,840
just going to reiterate them

2549
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,484
again. Everyone should get

2550
01:30:59,154 --> 01:30:59,721
their 3 minutes. Teachers

2551
01:30:59,721 --> 01:31:01,223
don't get to decide to kick

2552
01:31:01,223 --> 01:31:03,623
students out of their

2553
01:31:03,625 --> 01:31:04,193
classroom when they have are

2554
01:31:04,193 --> 01:31:07,193
over capacity or they can't

2555
01:31:07,729 --> 01:31:08,497
cut back classroom time.

2556
01:31:08,497 --> 01:31:10,165
Firefighters can't stop taking

2557
01:31:10,165 --> 01:31:10,766
calls at one to 3 in the

2558
01:31:10,766 --> 01:31:13,166
morning whenever they've been

2559
01:31:15,704 --> 01:31:16,338
running all day. To watch it

2560
01:31:16,338 --> 01:31:17,172
elected officials. Who is your

2561
01:31:17,172 --> 01:31:17,773
job to listen to us. You get

2562
01:31:17,773 --> 01:31:21,373
to decide that you don't want

2563
01:31:22,978 --> 01:31:23,612
to work.

2564
01:31:23,612 --> 01:31:24,213
>> So and of course, for those

2565
01:31:24,213 --> 01:31:25,747
who can't attend the meetings

2566
01:31:25,747 --> 01:31:28,316
in person. Please bring back

2567
01:31:28,316 --> 01:31:31,316
the virtual meeting and allows

2568
01:31:31,754 --> 01:31:32,355
everybody for those who have

2569
01:31:32,355 --> 01:31:32,922
visibilities are able to come

2570
01:31:32,922 --> 01:31:35,322
out scheduling things like

2571
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:37,860
that. My time is cutting

2572
01:31:37,860 --> 01:31:39,495
short. So for those of you for

2573
01:31:39,495 --> 01:31:43,950
the 5 who chose to not find

2574
01:31:43,165 --> 01:31:43,933
out for this. My question to

2575
01:31:43,933 --> 01:31:47,533
you is why you pretending that

2576
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:51,440
the knife doesn't exist.

2577
01:31:51,440 --> 01:31:51,975
>> Our next speaker is Denise

2578
01:31:51,975 --> 01:31:54,375
Gordon followed by James

2579
01:32:08,591 --> 01:32:08,959
Smith. Good evening. My name

2580
01:32:08,959 --> 01:32:10,959
Denise cordon.

2581
01:32:11,861 --> 01:32:12,395
>> But if I want to go my full

2582
01:32:12,395 --> 01:32:15,395
name. It would be doctor

2583
01:32:15,898 --> 01:32:16,366
Denise Gorham

2584
01:32:16,366 --> 01:32:18,366
>> Which means second

2585
01:32:21,370 --> 01:32:21,604
represent several world. I did

2586
01:32:21,604 --> 01:32:22,872
not come with notes. I will

2587
01:32:22,872 --> 01:32:25,441
not take off 2 minutes even

2588
01:32:25,441 --> 01:32:26,900
though it should be brought

2589
01:32:26,900 --> 01:32:28,409
back from constituents that

2590
01:32:28,945 --> 01:32:31,130
are behind me and I really

2591
01:32:31,130 --> 01:32:33,413
would appreciate having the

2592
01:32:37,954 --> 01:32:38,588
comments first. I just really

2593
01:32:38,588 --> 01:32:41,824
I just it's it's my first time

2594
01:32:41,824 --> 01:32:42,926
I came to a city Council

2595
01:32:42,926 --> 01:32:44,561
meeting. It was during the

2596
01:32:44,561 --> 01:32:45,295
day. But now that it's night.

2597
01:32:45,295 --> 01:32:45,895
I'm totally Nightline. So I

2598
01:32:45,895 --> 01:32:50,950
kind of try real slow back to

2599
01:32:50,533 --> 01:32:52,702
my house. The. The questions

2600
01:32:52,702 --> 01:32:55,171
that have been product in the

2601
01:32:55,171 --> 01:32:56,105
comments. I have enjoyed

2602
01:32:56,105 --> 01:32:57,273
thoroughly to see the passion

2603
01:32:57,273 --> 01:32:59,673
that these people, whether

2604
01:33:01,311 --> 01:33:01,911
they're angry or they're

2605
01:33:01,911 --> 01:33:04,311
quiet. It's just extremely

2606
01:33:05,148 --> 01:33:06,116
enjoyable to see the people of

2607
01:33:06,116 --> 01:33:06,717
this community. But then when

2608
01:33:06,717 --> 01:33:08,485
I look at your faces, some of

2609
01:33:08,485 --> 01:33:11,455
you are not being off and up

2610
01:33:11,455 --> 01:33:12,890
and you don't seem to be and

2611
01:33:12,890 --> 01:33:15,689
tend to what the community has

2612
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,960
to say. That's I. Appreciate

2613
01:33:20,764 --> 01:33:21,498
your listening that for the

2614
01:33:21,498 --> 01:33:22,990
people behind me. I think you

2615
01:33:22,990 --> 01:33:24,167
really need to listen to each

2616
01:33:24,167 --> 01:33:27,167
one of their comments Think

2617
01:33:32,876 --> 01:33:33,410
again what they had to say.

2618
01:33:33,410 --> 01:33:33,944
Our next speaker is James

2619
01:33:33,944 --> 01:33:36,344
Smith followed by Charlie

2620
01:33:41,418 --> 01:33:41,985
price.

2621
01:33:41,985 --> 01:33:43,985
>> Good afternoon Council.

2622
01:33:44,888 --> 01:33:45,489
Name is Jim Smith. As up

2623
01:33:45,489 --> 01:33:46,656
again. My 7th year coming to

2624
01:33:46,656 --> 01:33:48,656
address you.

2625

just just come Barkley. He

2652
01:34:53,124 --> 01:34:53,758
couldn't do it because

2653
01:34:53,758 --> 01:34:57,358
practiced what he was going to

2654
01:34:57,628 --> 01:34:59,797
say when it came back.

2655
01:34:59,797 --> 01:35:00,865
Speaking with George Stiles.

2656
01:35:00,865 --> 01:35:01,632
He's 80 years old. You're of

2657
01:35:01,632 --> 01:35:03,735
the bus to these meetings. So

2658
01:35:03,735 --> 01:35:04,336
it would be good if you put

2659
01:35:04,336 --> 01:35:04,936
the citizens in the front of

2660
01:35:04,936 --> 01:35:07,105

01:35:10,410 --> 01:35:11,108

2668
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:26,688

2670
01:35:30,270 --> 01:35:31,663

off engine that to the next

2672
01:35:32,197 --> 01:35:34,466

2678
01:35:59,424 --> 01:36:00,580
>> I think it might be a

2679
01:36:00,580 --> 01:36:00,993
little bit country is I'm here

2680
01:36:00,993 --> 01:36:04,593
to talk about him and see 25

2681
01:36:05,531 --> 01:36:06,631
dash 1124 the tax exemption

2682
01:36:06,631 --> 01:36:09,310
for cobblestone manner East

2683
01:36:09,968 --> 01:36:10,469
Fort Worth elderly property

2684
01:36:10,469 --> 01:36:12,738
that we are the general

2685
01:36:12,738 --> 01:36:13,338
partner on where their owner.

2686
01:36:13,338 --> 01:36:16,308
I will tell you that today I

2687
01:36:16,308 --> 01:36:16,942
got a call from councilmember

2688
01:36:16,942 --> 01:36:17,443
people's office about an issue

2689
01:36:17,443 --> 01:36:19,843
at the proper apartment

2690
01:36:20,790 --> 01:36:23,679
project. That's what I did to

2691
01:36:25,500 --> 01:36:25,651
care. I'm your local look,

2692
01:36:25,651 --> 01:36:28,186
you're now. We're here to ask

2693
01:36:28,186 --> 01:36:28,787
for small tax exemption to pay

2694
01:36:28,787 --> 01:36:31,457
for security upgrades at that

2695
01:36:31,457 --> 01:36:33,659
property to. There's something

2696
01:36:33,659 --> 01:36:34,293
about aar corporation. We

2697
01:36:34,293 --> 01:36:36,195
believe in high-level security

2698
01:36:36,195 --> 01:36:37,960
and all of our properties so

2699
01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:39,496
everybody can feel safe

2700
01:36:40,232 --> 01:36:41,934
because we know the low income

2701
01:36:41,934 --> 01:36:43,200
elderly folks if they get

2702
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:45,402
robbed, if something happens

2703
01:36:47,740 --> 01:36:48,374
to him proportionally them out

2704
01:36:48,374 --> 01:36:48,907
and come they will be spending

2705
01:36:48,907 --> 01:36:50,308
to replace things or do

2706
01:36:50,308 --> 01:36:53,308
things. It's a lot anybody

2707
01:36:54,780 --> 01:36:55,614
else. When it comes up here in

2708
01:36:55,614 --> 01:36:59,214
a little bit. I appreciate you

2709
01:37:02,155 --> 01:37:02,688
2. Approve. It another were

2710
01:37:02,688 --> 01:37:03,923
basically turn down this

2711
01:37:03,923 --> 01:37:04,457
resolution has submitted by

2712
01:37:04,457 --> 01:37:07,457
staff and approve the tax

2713
01:37:07,894 --> 01:37:10,620
exemption. I did put another

2714
01:37:10,620 --> 01:37:12,465
card in for something. It was

2715
01:37:12,465 --> 01:37:15,465
about the appointment of and

2716
01:37:15,901 --> 01:37:16,502
will speak about that right

2717
01:37:16,502 --> 01:37:17,360
now, too. Basically it has to

2718
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:18,404
do with basically housing

2719
01:37:18,404 --> 01:37:20,600
solution. You got 3 board

2720
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:21,341
members, your reappointing all

2721
01:37:21,341 --> 01:37:23,741
the housing and basically

2722
01:37:25,979 --> 01:37:26,546
right now. They're costing

2723
01:37:26,546 --> 01:37:27,680
little bit over 11 million

2724
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,680
dollars in tax revenue. That's

2725
01:37:32,785 --> 01:37:33,619
just your portion. That's a

2726
01:37:33,619 --> 01:37:34,120
lot of money. That's basically

2727
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,520
was nearly your budget

2728
01:37:38,625 --> 01:37:40,927
shortfall. And in essence, you

2729
01:37:40,927 --> 01:37:41,494
probably need to postpone that

2730
01:37:41,494 --> 01:37:42,696
and really have are honest

2731
01:37:42,696 --> 01:37:45,960
discussion with them about

2732
01:37:45,732 --> 01:37:48,132
them taking off properties

2733
01:37:48,601 --> 01:37:49,736
just in the 4th reports last

2734
01:37:49,736 --> 01:37:50,303
2, 3, weeks. They talked about

2735
01:37:50,303 --> 01:37:52,405
taking a 65 million dollar

2736
01:37:52,405 --> 01:37:52,906
property off the tax rolls.

2737
01:37:52,906 --> 01:37:55,306
Probably gonna cost you

2738
01:37:55,742 --> 01:37:56,308
$300,000. And that's ready. Ya

2739
01:37:56,308 --> 01:37:59,308
could be used for something

2740
01:38:02,749 --> 01:38:03,349
else. Our next speaker is

2741
01:38:03,349 --> 01:38:05,749
Giselle Anderson, followed by

2742
01:38:11,158 --> 01:38:13,558
Chris tackett. Thank Chris

2743
01:38:22,836 --> 01:38:24,370
tackett fall by Patrice Jones.

2744
01:38:24,370 --> 01:38:24,604
Councilmember Lauer You did

2745
01:38:24,604 --> 01:38:25,271
say you never see solutions

2746
01:38:25,271 --> 01:38:28,271
come out of public comments.

2747
01:38:29,977 --> 01:38:32,977
>> And. This proposal is a

2748
01:38:34,715 --> 01:38:34,982
solution that came from public

2749
01:38:34,982 --> 01:38:35,582
comments.

2750
01:38:35,582 --> 01:38:36,183
>> You're not on the letter

2751
01:38:36,183 --> 01:38:39,783
hopeful. I hope you vote for

2752
01:38:40,287 --> 01:38:42,287
this resolution tonight.

2753
01:38:42,289 --> 01:38:42,856
>> But it makes a lot of sense

2754
01:38:42,856 --> 01:38:43,457
right bringing back public

2755
01:38:43,457 --> 01:38:46,457
comments and every single one

2756
01:38:49,263 --> 01:38:50,364
of our meetings makes sense.

2757
01:38:50,364 --> 01:38:50,931
Councilmember Flores. You you

2758
01:38:50,931 --> 01:38:53,931
spoke when we talked about

2759
01:38:55,102 --> 01:38:55,736
public comments the first time

2760
01:38:55,736 --> 01:38:56,770
about how people waiting until

2761
01:38:56,770 --> 01:38:57,404
the end of the meeting was

2762
01:38:57,404 --> 01:39:00,404
problematic right when it used

2763
01:39:01,842 --> 01:39:02,376
to be part of every meeting.

2764
01:39:02,376 --> 01:39:05,790
The other piece of what I

2765
01:39:05,790 --> 01:39:05,645
proposed in OCTOBER of that.

2766
01:39:05,645 --> 01:39:06,780
Fits that the bulk of what

2767
01:39:06,780 --> 01:39:09,383
we're talking about today was

2768
01:39:09,383 --> 01:39:09,884
that public comments should be

2769
01:39:09,884 --> 01:39:12,884
at the beginning of the

2770
01:39:16,123 --> 01:39:16,657
meeting. Lets people plan for

2771
01:39:16,657 --> 01:39:17,291
what's coming. Know what

2772
01:39:17,291 --> 01:39:20,291
they're doing and work through

2773
01:39:22,163 --> 01:39:24,650
it. And in that spirit. The

2774
01:39:24,650 --> 01:39:24,631
idea that when you sign up for

2775
01:39:24,631 --> 01:39:25,232
public comments. You should

2776
01:39:25,232 --> 01:39:28,832
have some sense of where you

2777
01:39:29,837 --> 01:39:30,404
are in the queue.

2778
01:39:30,404 --> 01:39:32,106
>> And if you're the first

2779
01:39:32,106 --> 01:39:33,140
one, the 15th one, the 35th

2780
01:39:33,140 --> 01:39:35,643
one, whatever it is me when I

2781
01:39:35,643 --> 01:39:36,444
go to buy tickets

2782
01:39:36,444 --> 01:39:38,844
Ticketmaster. It'll tell me

2783
01:39:39,847 --> 01:39:40,648
I'm number 4,321 in and it

2784
01:39:40,648 --> 01:39:44,248
will continue to reduce it to

2785
01:39:44,451 --> 01:39:46,688
like it, to go tickets. The

2786
01:39:46,688 --> 01:39:47,154
idea that when you sign up for

2787
01:39:47,154 --> 01:39:49,554
comments. I know our

2788
01:39:50,725 --> 01:39:51,292
information is going into a

2789
01:39:51,292 --> 01:39:52,627
form. We've got some really

2790
01:39:52,627 --> 01:39:53,194
smart it. People in the city

2791
01:39:53,194 --> 01:39:53,795
of Fort Worth to be able in

2792
01:39:53,795 --> 01:39:56,795
your confirmation to let you

2793
01:40:00,268 --> 01:40:01,236
know. This is your 24th. So

2794
01:40:01,236 --> 01:40:02,469
that people have it the idea

2795
01:40:02,469 --> 01:40:04,105
and the ability to know when

2796
01:40:04,105 --> 01:40:05,240
they need to show up at the

2797
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:05,874
beginning of the meeting for

2798
01:40:05,874 --> 01:40:08,874
their public comments and they

2799
01:40:09,110 --> 01:40:09,978
know where they'll fall inside

2800
01:40:09,978 --> 01:40:11,120
that I'm fully in favor of

2801
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:13,281
this resolution. I would love

2802
01:40:13,281 --> 01:40:14,416
to see a unanimous vote for

2803
01:40:14,416 --> 01:40:14,949
this. But regardless, I'm glad

2804
01:40:14,949 --> 01:40:17,349
people are getting their

2805
01:40:22,230 --> 01:40:22,623
voices back. Thank you.

2806
01:40:22,623 --> 01:40:23,158
>> Next, speaker is Patrice

2807
01:40:23,158 --> 01:40:25,558

2808
01:40:37,639 --> 01:40:39,639
Irvine.

2809
01:40:40,750 --> 01:40:40,675
>> Well, that and write a

2810
01:40:40,675 --> 01:40:41,309
speech today because I didn't

2811
01:40:41,309 --> 01:40:44,909
know if I would have 3 minutes

2812
01:40:46,982 --> 01:40:47,649
or 90 seconds or. 2 minutes or

2813
01:40:47,649 --> 01:40:48,250
whatever. Mayor Parker decided

2814
01:40:48,250 --> 01:40:49,684
she would allow her with the

2815
01:40:49,684 --> 01:40:51,420
half. That was 2 minutes like

2816
01:40:51,420 --> 01:40:54,420
for things to cover. First

2817
01:40:58,360 --> 01:40:59,628
thing. Thank you all for

2818
01:40:59,628 --> 01:41:00,229
bringing public comments back

2819
01:41:00,229 --> 01:41:00,862
up to the resort. Think it's

2820
01:41:00,862 --> 01:41:05,620
sad that we have to thank you

2821
01:41:06,902 --> 01:41:07,469
for doing your jobs. But we do

2822
01:41:07,469 --> 01:41:08,360
appreciate it. Also really

2823
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:08,503
want to thank the community

2824
01:41:08,503 --> 01:41:10,503
for mobilizing around

2825
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:12,341
restoring put the comments

2826
01:41:12,341 --> 01:41:15,430
because we know that it was

2827
01:41:15,430 --> 01:41:18,430
us. The community really make

2828
01:41:19,281 --> 01:41:19,815
this happen. So shout out to

2829
01:41:19,815 --> 01:41:21,483
the community. I've been

2830
01:41:21,483 --> 01:41:22,417
working with the family of

2831
01:41:22,417 --> 01:41:23,218
Kenneth Saal. Thank you,

2832
01:41:23,218 --> 01:41:23,786
Michael crane and Elizabeth

2833
01:41:23,786 --> 01:41:26,786

2834
01:41:27,220 --> 01:41:27,656
e-mail Austin on their behalf

2835
01:41:27,656 --> 01:41:30,656
today. Kennesaw his twin baby.

2836
01:41:33,262 --> 01:41:33,863
Some are yes. Also was.

2837
01:41:33,863 --> 01:41:34,463
Mysteriously she mysteriously

2838
01:41:34,463 --> 01:41:37,366
died at the hospital Cup like

2839
01:41:37,366 --> 01:41:38,334
a month after being born and

2840
01:41:38,334 --> 01:41:40,669
they're not getting any

2841
01:41:40,669 --> 01:41:41,370
answers from 6 is health

2842
01:41:41,370 --> 01:41:42,505
Methodist hospital. So they

2843
01:41:42,505 --> 01:41:43,138
have organized a protest that

2844
01:41:43,138 --> 01:41:45,474
will take place this Saturday

2845
01:41:45,474 --> 01:41:47,874
at the hospital at 12

2846
01:41:49,545 --> 01:41:51,614
community. Please come out to

2847
01:41:51,614 --> 01:41:52,147
support MISTER Saws is

2848
01:41:52,147 --> 01:41:53,215
actually going to come in

2849
01:41:53,215 --> 01:41:53,882
tonight. So I will be happy

2850
01:41:53,882 --> 01:41:54,517
introduce you Michael

2851
01:41:54,517 --> 01:41:57,520
Elizabeth. If you want to meet

2852
01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:58,540
him today. He'll be here in a

2853
01:41:58,540 --> 01:42:00,454
second. Then real next 40

2854
01:42:00,622 --> 01:42:03,622
seconds for Carlos Carlos. I

2855
01:42:05,595 --> 01:42:06,228
cannot believe you had the

2856
01:42:06,228 --> 01:42:06,796
audacity come to the community

2857
01:42:06,796 --> 01:42:08,796
conversation addressing the

2858
01:42:10,533 --> 01:42:11,300
rejection of gun violence, not

2859
01:42:11,300 --> 01:42:13,303
just come in but for getting

2860
01:42:13,303 --> 01:42:13,903
on the Mike using the

2861
01:42:13,903 --> 01:42:16,380
platform. You didn't deserve

2862
01:42:16,380 --> 01:42:16,672
to speak about not throwing

2863
01:42:16,672 --> 01:42:18,241
money at the problem which was

2864
01:42:18,241 --> 01:42:19,275
funding organizations doing

2865
01:42:19,275 --> 01:42:22,275
the work of prevention reduce

2866
01:42:23,790 --> 01:42:26,790
gun violence. Yeah. It's you

2867
01:42:26,549 --> 01:42:27,450
guys continue to pour money

2868
01:42:27,450 --> 01:42:28,500
policing. You talked about

2869
01:42:28,500 --> 01:42:28,518
accountability. We don't hold

2870
01:42:28,518 --> 01:42:30,918
the Fort Worth Police

2871
01:42:31,454 --> 01:42:32,210
Department accountable. So you

2872
01:42:32,210 --> 01:42:32,521
mean tell me you have more

2873
01:42:32,521 --> 01:42:34,290
energy for holding the

2874
01:42:34,290 --> 01:42:36,290
community. Organizations

2875
01:42:37,794 --> 01:42:38,328
accountable versus the police.

2876
01:42:38,328 --> 01:42:38,961
Let's defund the police a

2877
01:42:38,961 --> 01:42:41,961
refund, the community and find

2878
01:42:44,133 --> 01:42:46,533
real solutions. Jessica Irvine

2879
01:42:54,440 --> 01:42:56,780
followed by Stephen cake.

2880
01:42:56,780 --> 01:42:57,313
>> I'm Jessica Irvine from

2881
01:42:57,313 --> 01:42:58,140
district 5. First of all, I'd

2882
01:42:58,140 --> 01:43:01,614
like to thank you all for

2883
01:43:01,651 --> 01:43:02,252
considering to bring back the

2884
01:43:02,252 --> 01:43:04,200
public comments. But without

2885
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:06,823
doubt it's frustrating have to

2886
01:43:06,823 --> 01:43:08,959
fight and vote for ice that we

2887
01:43:08,959 --> 01:43:09,593
just had last I wish this time

2888
01:43:09,593 --> 01:43:10,227
energy could have been used to

2889
01:43:10,227 --> 01:43:10,827
help move our city forward and

2890
01:43:10,827 --> 01:43:13,227
address time sensitive needs

2891
01:43:15,980 --> 01:43:17,600
in our city and in addition to

2892
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:18,201
increasing the amount public

2893
01:43:18,201 --> 01:43:21,138
comments I just urge you to

2894
01:43:21,138 --> 01:43:22,171
bring back the virtual

2895
01:43:22,171 --> 01:43:23,273
participation option. It's

2896
01:43:23,273 --> 01:43:24,274
working. Parent of 2 young

2897
01:43:24,274 --> 01:43:24,842
kids. It's extremely difficult

2898
01:43:24,842 --> 01:43:28,311
for me to make it to these

2899
01:43:28,311 --> 01:43:30,470
meetings in person. And that

2900
01:43:30,470 --> 01:43:31,548
is even with many privileges

2901
01:43:31,548 --> 01:43:32,315
like a vehicle, a flexible

2902
01:43:32,315 --> 01:43:35,315
work schedule and local family

2903
01:43:36,119 --> 01:43:37,855
that can help with childcare.

2904
01:43:37,855 --> 01:43:38,688
As most of us know childcare

2905
01:43:38,688 --> 01:43:41,880
options are usually around $20

2906
01:43:42,493 --> 01:43:44,461
an hour. Many families cannot

2907
01:43:44,461 --> 01:43:45,562
just drop $6090 on child care

2908
01:43:45,562 --> 01:43:46,163
for the evening, not knowing

2909
01:43:46,163 --> 01:43:49,163
when they're going to speak.

2910
01:43:49,366 --> 01:43:51,568
How much time is going to take

2911
01:43:51,568 --> 01:43:52,302
just to make their voice

2912
01:43:52,302 --> 01:43:54,371
heard. If we want to make sure

2913
01:43:54,371 --> 01:43:55,272
all voices are being heard in

2914
01:43:55,272 --> 01:43:56,473
our community. We should be

2915
01:43:56,473 --> 01:43:57,574
sure to provide virtual

2916
01:43:57,574 --> 01:43:58,410
speaking options for working

2917
01:43:58,410 --> 01:44:00,410
families, caregivers

2918
01:44:02,679 --> 01:44:04,679
individuals with disabilities.

2919
01:44:04,748 --> 01:44:05,349
Those the transit barriers or

2920
01:44:05,349 --> 01:44:05,916
just they cannot make it for

2921
01:44:05,916 --> 01:44:08,586
the evening. It's going to

2922
01:44:08,586 --> 01:44:09,453
have their voice heard

2923
01:44:09,453 --> 01:44:10,870
residents who can't attend in

2924
01:44:10,870 --> 01:44:13,870
person still deserve access to

2925
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:17,127
democracy, too.

2926
01:44:17,127 --> 01:44:19,527
>> Stephen Kite followed by

2927
01:44:31,208 --> 01:44:31,842
Adrian Smith. Lo and Steven

2928
01:44:31,842 --> 01:44:35,111
Katz. And so I was supposed to

2929
01:44:35,111 --> 01:44:35,746
end pregnancies is going to

2930
01:44:35,746 --> 01:44:36,313
say how to pronounce it. And I

2931
01:44:36,313 --> 01:44:40,513
meant to do it last time is

2932
01:44:40,518 --> 01:44:41,519
needed at this time. So I

2933
01:44:41,519 --> 01:44:42,119
wasn't or anything. I was just

2934
01:44:42,119 --> 01:44:44,389
going to kind of talk off the

2935
01:44:44,389 --> 01:44:44,988
dome here because I to the

2936
01:44:44,988 --> 01:44:48,325
fact that I'm just looking at

2937
01:44:48,325 --> 01:44:49,494
my phone instead of looking at

2938
01:44:49,494 --> 01:44:50,661
you guys. You guys are, you

2939
01:44:50,661 --> 01:44:51,262
know, here to hear us all

2940
01:44:51,262 --> 01:44:52,330
talking on us. A look at our

2941
01:44:52,330 --> 01:44:53,364
phones. Are out here too. So

2942
01:44:53,364 --> 01:44:56,964
you guys look at your phones

2943
01:44:59,236 --> 01:44:59,803
either. I'm in favor of this.

2944
01:44:59,803 --> 01:45:03,741
I don't want to take up the

2945
01:45:03,741 --> 01:45:05,777
whole time. I think Chris

2946
01:45:05,777 --> 01:45:06,845
Leslie, Jessica, they can

2947
01:45:06,845 --> 01:45:07,812
articulate my position better

2948
01:45:07,812 --> 01:45:08,413
than I probably can articulate

2949
01:45:08,413 --> 01:45:11,983
my position on why we should

2950
01:45:11,983 --> 01:45:12,751
adopt this revised calendar. I

2951
01:45:12,751 --> 01:45:13,251
spoke last OCTOBER, NOVEMBER

2952
01:45:13,251 --> 01:45:15,754
when this came up for a

2953
01:45:15,754 --> 01:45:17,122
conversation, a public

2954
01:45:17,122 --> 01:45:18,155
comment. How hard it is a

2955
01:45:18,155 --> 01:45:18,756
working parent and that last

2956
01:45:18,756 --> 01:45:22,356
year it kind this new Year's

2957
01:45:23,261 --> 01:45:23,895
resolution to. Be more

2958
01:45:23,895 --> 01:45:24,462
involved in city government to

2959
01:45:24,462 --> 01:45:25,300
kind of stretch my wings a

2960
01:45:25,300 --> 01:45:28,566
little bit as a father of a

2961
01:45:28,566 --> 01:45:30,235
young daughter, too. Make some

2962
01:45:30,235 --> 01:45:31,470
sacrifices a little bit away

2963
01:45:31,470 --> 01:45:33,271
from home and be more engaged

2964
01:45:33,271 --> 01:45:34,238
with the city and make sure

2965
01:45:34,238 --> 01:45:34,839
this is a place that I am

2966
01:45:34,839 --> 01:45:38,439
proud to raise a daughter in

2967
01:45:39,711 --> 01:45:40,912
and future kids. And sometimes

2968
01:45:40,912 --> 01:45:42,347
I feel proud sometimes I

2969
01:45:42,347 --> 01:45:42,913
there's a little bit more than

2970
01:45:42,913 --> 01:45:44,983
kind of waiting on from the

2971
01:45:44,983 --> 01:45:45,884
city and from others at that,

2972
01:45:45,884 --> 01:45:46,485
I know there's a lot of people

2973
01:45:46,485 --> 01:45:49,855
here are trying to make it a

2974
01:45:49,855 --> 01:45:50,421
better place. There's a lot of

2975
01:45:50,421 --> 01:45:53,421
sacrifices. You guys make a

2976
01:45:53,625 --> 01:45:54,960
lot of sacrifices if it comes

2977
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:55,560
up for a vote the council more

2978
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:59,640
I am 100% in favor of that. I

2979
01:45:59,640 --> 01:45:59,630
don't care if I. Definitely

2980
01:45:59,630 --> 01:46:02,500
disagree with some of the

2981
01:46:02,500 --> 01:46:03,702
positions or were a 100%

2982
01:46:03,702 --> 01:46:04,403
aligned. You guys deserve to

2983
01:46:04,403 --> 01:46:05,170
be paid more no matter what

2984
01:46:05,170 --> 01:46:08,770
your position is on any given

2985
01:46:10,175 --> 01:46:11,610
topic. But I please ask you

2986
01:46:11,610 --> 01:46:12,177
guys to some sort of virtual

2987
01:46:12,177 --> 01:46:14,577
option as working parents.

2988
01:46:14,647 --> 01:46:15,280
It's hard to engage the city

2989
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:18,880
all use the last 15 seconds to

2990
01:46:19,618 --> 01:46:20,452
just shout out my COUNCILWOMAN

2991
01:46:20,452 --> 01:46:21,520
Elizabeth back-office every

2992
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,230
time I've emailed Anthony. He

2993
01:46:24,230 --> 01:46:24,590

thank you all because feel

3005
01:46:43,943 --> 01:46:48,143
like you all get it. Well, I

3006
01:46:48,913 --> 01:46:49,115
don't think because guess

3007
01:46:49,115 --> 01:46:49,715
what.

3008
01:46:49,715 --> 01:46:50,349
>> We shouldn't even be here

3009
01:46:50,349 --> 01:46:52,785
as she never had been a change

3010
01:46:52,785 --> 01:46:53,385
to how we do think. City Hall.

3011
01:46:53,385 --> 01:46:56,880
So 2 of the 4. You don't get

3012
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:56,722
no thanks for me and for the

3013
01:46:56,722 --> 01:47:00,922
last good sign off on Shame on

3014
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:03,228
you. Remote speaking something

3015
01:47:03,228 --> 01:47:05,364
that I have been advocating

3016
01:47:05,364 --> 01:47:08,364
fall for months upon months.

3017
01:47:09,468 --> 01:47:10,350
Store remote speaking. We

3018
01:47:10,350 --> 01:47:11,370
sought 333 million dollars

3019
01:47:11,370 --> 01:47:14,370
taxpayer money since it is

3020
01:47:15,608 --> 01:47:18,778
project. So at least you can

3021
01:47:18,778 --> 01:47:19,479
do is give people more suspect

3022
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:20,130
who cannot a teen who can't

3023
01:47:20,130 --> 01:47:22,413
come to this 233 million

3024
01:47:26,886 --> 01:47:27,887
dollar facility. Agenda items

3025
01:47:27,887 --> 01:47:28,788
public comment. Is the

3026
01:47:28,788 --> 01:47:29,355
commissioners court and you

3027
01:47:29,355 --> 01:47:30,123
know, the difference in the

3028
01:47:30,123 --> 01:47:32,523
commissioners court again in

3029
01:47:34,561 --> 01:47:35,594
the council's agenda. You can

3030
01:47:35,594 --> 01:47:36,629
sign up to speak. All high

3031
01:47:36,629 --> 01:47:37,196
would mean agenda items you

3032
01:47:37,196 --> 01:47:39,596
choose given 3 minutes read

3033
01:47:41,433 --> 01:47:42,836
you forget. I find a full

3034
01:47:42,836 --> 01:47:46,272
spots on about today. Spoke on

3035
01:47:46,272 --> 01:47:47,400
off, including public comment

3036
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:48,775
used to be able to do that.

3037
01:47:48,775 --> 01:47:50,910
But since you took near

3038
01:47:50,910 --> 01:47:52,345
apopka, it doesn't exist

3039
01:47:52,345 --> 01:47:55,615
anymore. We need to pay it

3040
01:47:55,615 --> 01:47:56,216
option to the people, to the

3041
01:47:56,216 --> 01:47:58,616
collective voices don't just

3042
01:47:58,652 --> 01:48:00,954
limit yourself to public

3043
01:48:00,954 --> 01:48:01,555
comments. All Jen the items a

3044
01:48:01,555 --> 01:48:03,890
items. Well, taxpayer dollars

3045
01:48:03,890 --> 01:48:06,890
are being spent those think

3046
01:48:07,793 --> 01:48:08,662
they don't want to speak all.

3047
01:48:08,662 --> 01:48:10,964
You think it up on another

3048
01:48:10,964 --> 01:48:13,964
bond election because money is

3049
01:48:15,669 --> 01:48:16,303
being wasted. By way of a

3050
01:48:16,303 --> 01:48:19,303
vote. No discussion just vote.

3051
01:48:20,374 --> 01:48:20,974
Vote. Vote. Show of applause.

3052
01:48:20,974 --> 01:48:24,574
How signed up with the man's

3053
01:48:26,146 --> 01:48:27,281
pocket. And in closing in the

3054
01:48:27,281 --> 01:48:28,915
words of the late Thomas

3055
01:48:28,915 --> 01:48:31,315
tholen casi where David,

3056
01:48:35,956 --> 01:48:36,556
you're a Goliath.

3057
01:48:36,556 --> 01:48:38,556
>> Alexander month, although

3058
01:48:46,767 --> 01:48:47,301
followed by David Martinez. So

3059
01:48:47,301 --> 01:48:50,901
this is what a full Dyess

3060
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:52,606
looks like. Look at all these

3061
01:48:52,606 --> 01:48:53,207
faces. I got to see a person

3062
01:48:53,207 --> 01:48:56,807
in every single one of these

3063
01:48:57,678 --> 01:49:00,140
chairs. So I want to thank.

3064
01:49:00,140 --> 01:49:02,683
>> The people of Fort Worth.

3065
01:49:02,683 --> 01:49:05,683
Because they have been working

3066
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:08,200
organizing talking. And

3067
01:49:09,990 --> 01:49:10,524
fighting for a better City

3068
01:49:10,524 --> 01:49:13,160
Council. And one of those

3069
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:13,694
goals is bringing public

3070
01:49:13,694 --> 01:49:14,294
comments back so round of

3071
01:49:14,294 --> 01:49:15,363
applause to the city of Fort

3072
01:49:15,363 --> 01:49:18,963
Worth and the people that have

3073
01:49:23,771 --> 01:49:24,372
been fighting for this. Now

3074
01:49:24,372 --> 01:49:24,972
people mention this is a good

3075
01:49:24,972 --> 01:49:27,972
step forward. But this isn't

3076
01:49:29,430 --> 01:49:30,745
everything. We need to make

3077
01:49:30,745 --> 01:49:32,179
sure that we can speak on

3078
01:49:32,179 --> 01:49:33,147
every single agenda item so

3079
01:49:33,147 --> 01:49:33,781
that we can articulate our

3080
01:49:33,781 --> 01:49:36,181
perspectives. Our thoughts are

3081
01:49:37,952 --> 01:49:40,352
concerns ideas. For that

3082
01:49:41,189 --> 01:49:42,289
particular item and we need

3083
01:49:42,289 --> 01:49:43,390
public comments to be at the

3084
01:49:43,390 --> 01:49:44,580
beginning of the meeting. So

3085
01:49:44,580 --> 01:49:44,658
we have general comments to

3086
01:49:44,658 --> 01:49:47,761
talk about things that MAY or

3087
01:49:47,761 --> 01:49:48,229
MAY not be on the agenda. So

3088
01:49:48,229 --> 01:49:51,229
that we can push for

3089
01:49:52,367 --> 01:49:52,967
solutions. Because we got to

3090
01:49:52,967 --> 01:49:53,501
talk a lot about public

3091
01:49:53,501 --> 01:49:55,901
comments and the general

3092
01:49:56,137 --> 01:49:56,738
public comment space because

3093
01:49:56,738 --> 01:49:59,774
it's not until today. It was

3094
01:49:59,774 --> 01:50:00,475
on the agenda. So we need both

3095
01:50:00,475 --> 01:50:02,876
of those things available to

3096
01:50:02,876 --> 01:50:05,279
us so that we can do good work

3097
01:50:05,279 --> 01:50:05,880
and the city on behalf of the

3098
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:08,880
communities that we are here

3099
01:50:10,652 --> 01:50:12,653
to fight and represent. Now to

3100
01:50:12,653 --> 01:50:13,254
be great if the majority of

3101
01:50:13,254 --> 01:50:16,157
y'all were on board with this

3102
01:50:16,157 --> 01:50:16,791
work that is being done.

3103
01:50:16,791 --> 01:50:17,258
>> But it's clear that so many

3104
01:50:17,258 --> 01:50:19,694
of you all are still

3105
01:50:19,694 --> 01:50:21,694
struggling.

3106
01:50:22,230 --> 01:50:24,630
>> It's 2026 Fort Worth. We've

3107
01:50:27,335 --> 01:50:27,902
got more public comments.

3108
01:50:27,902 --> 01:50:28,470
We're going to keep showing

3109
01:50:28,470 --> 01:50:29,537
up. We're going to keep

3110
01:50:29,537 --> 01:50:30,105
leveraging the people's voice

3111
01:50:30,105 --> 01:50:33,105
because the people is where

3112
01:50:35,176 --> 01:50:35,676
the power is and 2027 we're

3113
01:50:35,676 --> 01:50:38,246
going to be working in

3114
01:50:38,246 --> 01:50:39,147
partnership with the City

3115
01:50:39,147 --> 01:50:39,748
Council that actually wants us

3116
01:50:39,748 --> 01:50:43,348
all things for the people of

3117
01:50:43,352 --> 01:50:45,754
Worth. So this is a good step

3118
01:50:45,754 --> 01:50:46,540
in 2026 for all of us to feel

3119
01:50:46,540 --> 01:50:46,655
good about.

3120
01:50:46,655 --> 01:50:49,591
>> You. Also the new better,

3121
01:50:49,591 --> 01:50:51,991
the sea which decide.

3122
01:51:04,706 --> 01:51:06,706
>> David Martinez.

3123
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:08,644
>> Good evening. First of all,

3124
01:51:08,644 --> 01:51:10,779
I want apologize for last 2

3125
01:51:10,779 --> 01:51:13,779
times knees and profanity. I

3126
01:51:14,849 --> 01:51:15,417
do apologize. It's very

3127
01:51:15,417 --> 01:51:15,984
important because I am the

3128
01:51:15,984 --> 01:51:18,384
only Native American voice

3129
01:51:20,155 --> 01:51:21,223
that comes here to speak. So I

3130
01:51:21,223 --> 01:51:21,690
guess it all on my shoulders

3131
01:51:21,690 --> 01:51:23,690
to represent American

3132
01:51:25,994 --> 01:51:26,628
community and forth. So and I

3133
01:51:26,628 --> 01:51:30,228
do apologize for that. I would

3134
01:51:30,798 --> 01:51:31,267
not be used pay. So like that

3135
01:51:31,267 --> 01:51:34,267
But can also tell you

3136
01:51:36,372 --> 01:51:36,972
something. I You mean the the

3137
01:51:36,972 --> 01:51:38,808
person that comes up here to

3138
01:51:38,808 --> 01:51:41,808
defend the council. It seems

3139
01:51:41,811 --> 01:51:42,445
like everybody comes taxes. It

3140
01:51:42,445 --> 01:51:43,946
should just because we get our

3141
01:51:43,946 --> 01:51:46,982
if we get our minutes back,

3142
01:51:46,982 --> 01:51:47,550
this shouldn't become free for

3143
01:51:47,550 --> 01:51:48,684
all. I mean, because you're

3144
01:51:48,684 --> 01:51:50,684
elected officials addition.

3145
01:51:52,622 --> 01:51:53,856
Take it and says I'm a girl

3146
01:51:53,856 --> 01:51:56,920
that I when you offend some of

3147
01:51:56,920 --> 01:51:57,590
the few mill councilmembers. I

3148
01:51:57,590 --> 01:51:59,459
get aggressive conduct because

3149
01:52:01,731 --> 01:52:02,365
I see it a really it's not

3150
01:52:02,365 --> 01:52:02,932
right. Don't care who you are

3151
01:52:02,932 --> 01:52:04,901
used not be treating women

3152
01:52:04,901 --> 01:52:05,501
like that in you come at the

3153
01:52:05,501 --> 01:52:09,101
mayor light that I'm going to

3154
01:52:11,407 --> 01:52:13,810
be like will write in so that

3155
01:52:13,810 --> 01:52:14,277
right there, still need to

3156
01:52:14,277 --> 01:52:14,911
conduct ourselves and

3157
01:52:14,911 --> 01:52:17,311
represent our communities that

3158
01:52:17,346 --> 01:52:17,947
we're going to be other

3159
01:52:17,947 --> 01:52:21,547
speaking its mission up to us

3160
01:52:21,717 --> 01:52:23,720
to check ourselves. And for,

3161
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:24,587
you know, for the community.

3162
01:52:24,587 --> 01:52:25,880
The ones that cannot make it

3163
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:26,923
with. Remember that we

3164
01:52:26,923 --> 01:52:29,225
represent in the fuel. We are

3165
01:52:29,225 --> 01:52:29,792
neighbors. They can't come

3166
01:52:29,792 --> 01:52:31,560
here. So that's one of the

3167
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:35,160
things I want to bring about

3168
01:52:35,264 --> 01:52:35,998
but a lighter note.

3169
01:52:35,998 --> 01:52:36,565
>> Was that on Tuesday, Taco

3170
01:52:36,565 --> 01:52:38,965
Tuesdays Tuesday. We could

3171
01:52:40,970 --> 01:52:41,871
have it on.

3172
01:52:41,871 --> 01:52:42,405
>> The low Monday. I go Louise

3173
01:52:42,405 --> 01:52:45,741
as Milo. They run out by

3174
01:52:45,741 --> 01:52:46,275
Theresa gone out of there. But

3175
01:52:46,275 --> 01:52:46,843
you know, things like You

3176
01:52:46,843 --> 01:52:50,443
know, I don't know. I mean

3177
01:52:53,115 --> 01:52:55,752

3203
01:53:46,570 --> 01:53:47,171
rules of procedure section

3204
01:53:47,171 --> 01:53:49,439
2005.1 to allow the cp to be

3205
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:50,674

3206
01:53:50,674 --> 01:53:53,674
motion. A second Council, any

3207
01:53:58,916 --> 01:53:59,483
other discussion. Please vote.

3208
01:53:59,483 --> 01:54:02,483
Motion to suspend the rules

3209
01:54:05,156 --> 01:54:05,689
passes. At this time. I can

3210
01:54:05,689 --> 01:54:06,323
entertain a discussion or

3211
01:54:06,323 --> 01:54:08,723
additional motions on cp 3, 3,

3212
01:54:15,733 --> 01:54:16,367
5, Council medals.

3213
01:54:16,367 --> 01:54:19,967
>> Yes, I just have a comments

3214
01:54:20,438 --> 01:54:22,838
and discussions. Want again,

3215
01:54:24,809 --> 01:54:25,376
thank the citizens of those of

3216
01:54:25,376 --> 01:54:25,943
you who have come out speak

3217
01:54:25,943 --> 01:54:28,343
about public engagement. I

3218
01:54:30,181 --> 01:54:30,681
think it's very important.

3219
01:54:30,681 --> 01:54:31,415
Because we need to hear

3220
01:54:31,415 --> 01:54:34,415
citizens every issue that we

3221
01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:38,890
have come across this dias and

3222
01:54:38,890 --> 01:54:38,689
so it's important to me that

3223
01:54:38,689 --> 01:54:40,591
we put public comment back in

3224
01:54:40,591 --> 01:54:43,591
the voting meeting when all

3225
01:54:45,362 --> 01:54:45,896
Council is here. I think that

3226
01:54:45,896 --> 01:54:46,464
wills Riley important. I

3227
01:54:46,464 --> 01:54:48,132
mention this. This was the

3228
01:54:48,132 --> 01:54:51,201
idea that we had one. Told

3229
01:54:51,201 --> 01:54:54,105
when it was voted down that we

3230
01:54:54,105 --> 01:54:56,708
put public comment back in the

3231
01:54:56,708 --> 01:54:57,642
meetings. I do remember the

3232
01:54:57,642 --> 01:55:00,344
days when public comment was

3233
01:55:00,344 --> 01:55:01,279
part of every meeting, every

3234
01:55:01,279 --> 01:55:01,846
Tuesday. I remember the day

3235
01:55:01,846 --> 01:55:03,248
sit-in on the floor the s p

3236
01:55:03,248 --> 01:55:06,384
for a vote. 2 1 o'clock in the

3237
01:55:06,384 --> 01:55:09,384
morning. I remember those days

3238
01:55:09,453 --> 01:55:11,890
in those days were when the

3239
01:55:11,890 --> 01:55:12,457
community came out to speak

3240
01:55:12,457 --> 01:55:14,626
speak. The voices for this

3241
01:55:14,626 --> 01:55:17,626
Council to hear. And I

3242
01:55:18,630 --> 01:55:19,664
strongly believe that we all

3243
01:55:19,664 --> 01:55:20,231
signed up to do this. We

3244
01:55:20,231 --> 01:55:23,134
signed up to listen to the

3245
01:55:23,134 --> 01:55:24,769
voices of the people and to

3246
01:55:24,769 --> 01:55:25,503
represent you and the only way

3247
01:55:25,503 --> 01:55:27,873
that we can represent the

3248
01:55:27,873 --> 01:55:28,439
people is by hearing from the

3249
01:55:28,439 --> 01:55:32,390
people and so again, I want

3250
01:55:34,479 --> 01:55:35,130
to. I appreciate also at Chris

3251
01:55:35,130 --> 01:55:37,983
Hackett for laying out a

3252
01:55:37,983 --> 01:55:40,383
platform of ideas. Public

3253
01:55:44,489 --> 01:55:46,240
comment. Also working with

3254
01:55:46,240 --> 01:55:48,293
COUNCILMAN Crying. And so I

3255
01:55:48,293 --> 01:55:50,228
have I've listened to a lot of

3256
01:55:50,228 --> 01:55:53,228
the concerns tonight and I

3257
01:55:53,899 --> 01:55:54,500
will tell you this, that. I

3258
01:55:54,500 --> 01:55:55,670
know it's hard to articulate

3259
01:55:55,670 --> 01:55:56,668
certain things when you're

3260
01:55:56,668 --> 01:55:59,471
just trying to. Get one piece

3261
01:55:59,471 --> 01:56:01,139
of the pot that and that piece

3262
01:56:01,139 --> 01:56:03,475
of the pie that was too

3263
01:56:03,475 --> 01:56:05,875
increase. The public comment

3264
01:56:08,347 --> 01:56:08,947
that to twice a month. And so.

3265
01:56:08,947 --> 01:56:11,951
Prior to tonight and prior to

3266
01:56:11,951 --> 01:56:15,154
last week. I didn't hear. But

3267
01:56:15,154 --> 01:56:17,256
Chris, talk about. Put in the

3268
01:56:17,256 --> 01:56:19,240
public comment at the top of

3269
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:22,624
the agenda. So that's why you

3270
01:56:22,727 --> 01:56:24,463
don't see this in this sleepy.

3271
01:56:24,463 --> 01:56:27,466
As well as historically it has

3272
01:56:27,466 --> 01:56:28,600
never been at the top of the

3273
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:29,134
agenda. That is something I'm

3274
01:56:29,134 --> 01:56:32,134
willing to explore as we

3275
01:56:32,471 --> 01:56:34,871
continue to move forward

3276
01:56:35,508 --> 01:56:36,709
discussion over next couple of

3277
01:56:36,709 --> 01:56:38,944
months. The second thing that

3278
01:56:38,944 --> 01:56:42,544
it was disheartening to have a

3279
01:56:43,115 --> 01:56:44,116
time. Could. I believe I was

3280
01:56:44,116 --> 01:56:47,716
not aware that that was part

3281
01:56:48,754 --> 01:56:51,624
of the resolution and the less

3282
01:56:51,624 --> 01:56:52,124
as the sun we vote on the

3283
01:56:52,124 --> 01:56:52,758
council meeting. I vote

3284
01:56:52,758 --> 01:56:55,728
against all things that didn't

3285
01:56:55,728 --> 01:56:58,931
matter at all. But it was part

3286
01:56:58,931 --> 01:56:59,499
of the process and procedures

3287
01:56:59,499 --> 01:57:01,434
and so the minute I have a

3288
01:57:01,434 --> 01:57:02,100
question fully. And according

3289
01:57:02,100 --> 01:57:05,601
to that. But one that vote

3290
01:57:05,972 --> 01:57:06,572
when we voted when the council

3291
01:57:06,572 --> 01:57:10,172
voted to adopt to the council

3292
01:57:12,278 --> 01:57:13,450
meetings. Gave the right that

3293
01:57:13,450 --> 01:57:14,180
if there's hour of speakers is

3294
01:57:14,180 --> 01:57:17,180
that the time automatically be

3295
01:57:18,685 --> 01:57:19,619
limited. I do MISS. I don't

3296
01:57:19,619 --> 01:57:22,956
agree with it. I think that we

3297
01:57:22,956 --> 01:57:25,956
also 3 minutes. I. Have been

3298
01:57:26,392 --> 01:57:28,728
on the other side working on

3299
01:57:28,728 --> 01:57:31,728
speaking to this Council. And

3300
01:57:32,699 --> 01:57:33,733
anytime you speak publicly

3301
01:57:33,733 --> 01:57:34,367
your nerves at a wacky. Not

3302
01:57:34,367 --> 01:57:36,636
sure what to say, but you want

3303
01:57:36,636 --> 01:57:38,938
to get your point across. So

3304
01:57:38,938 --> 01:57:41,938
always and will always support

3305
01:57:43,910 --> 01:57:45,345
having 3 minutes to speak.

3306
01:57:45,345 --> 01:57:45,979
Again, that's not on this this

3307
01:57:45,979 --> 01:57:47,647
cp. But I'm asked the question

3308
01:57:47,647 --> 01:57:51,247
to land about the process and

3309
01:57:52,752 --> 01:57:54,187
procedures on that. I also I

3310
01:57:54,187 --> 01:57:57,787
support if that's remains I do

3311
01:57:58,524 --> 01:57:59,425
support. Taking of all, I

3312
01:57:59,425 --> 01:57:59,959
don't know. We can I don't

3313
01:57:59,959 --> 01:58:00,927
know The we can do on the

3314
01:58:00,927 --> 01:58:03,797
agenda because the agenda, the

3315
01:58:03,797 --> 01:58:06,797
rules have been changed the

3316
01:58:09,690 --> 01:58:09,670
gym has to be set. Weeks in

3317
01:58:09,670 --> 01:58:12,500
advance and so that's not the

3318
01:58:12,500 --> 01:58:13,206
question I happily. And you

3319
01:58:13,206 --> 01:58:14,341
asked that one thing I think

3320
01:58:14,341 --> 01:58:16,777
is important is we can have

3321
01:58:16,777 --> 01:58:17,377
ideas, but we technically not

3322
01:58:17,377 --> 01:58:21,140
do that. I want to know that

3323
01:58:21,140 --> 01:58:21,849
that's something that we

3324
01:58:21,849 --> 01:58:22,416
cannot do. And so I'm gonna

3325
01:58:22,416 --> 01:58:24,918
leave a full open before I

3326
01:58:24,918 --> 01:58:28,518
make motion. But I have a

3327
01:58:29,990 --> 01:58:32,990
question filling in that. The

3328
01:58:35,296 --> 01:58:35,829
reduced of time.

3329
01:58:35,829 --> 01:58:36,463
>> Was a part of the last

3330
01:58:36,463 --> 01:58:37,310
resolution as a whole was that

3331
01:58:37,310 --> 01:58:39,700
all was it a separate vote.

3332
01:58:39,700 --> 01:58:43,537
>> It was part of the vote for

3333
01:58:43,537 --> 01:58:44,405
to set the schedule for the

3334
01:58:44,405 --> 01:58:45,400
chair.

3335
01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:45,605
>> Okay. So if that was part

3336
01:58:45,605 --> 01:58:48,642
of that boat and taken clean.

3337
01:58:48,642 --> 01:58:49,143
We are replace and that

3338
01:58:49,143 --> 01:58:51,543
today's vote. What that

3339
01:58:52,613 --> 01:58:54,140
replace that as well.

3340
01:58:54,140 --> 01:58:56,500
>> It was a specific change to

3341
01:58:56,500 --> 01:58:57,752
the rules of procedure for the

3342
01:58:57,752 --> 01:58:58,753
council. And so it actually

3343
01:58:58,753 --> 01:59:01,753
changed those and nothing and

3344
01:59:02,230 --> 01:59:02,623
this resolutions that are the

3345
01:59:02,623 --> 01:59:03,224
cp today would take that away

3346
01:59:03,224 --> 01:59:07,424
or change it so it will stay

3347
01:59:08,195 --> 01:59:10,195
in place.

3348
01:59:15,369 --> 01:59:15,736
>> Those They had another

3349
01:59:15,736 --> 01:59:16,337
question fully.

3350
01:59:16,337 --> 01:59:16,971
>> I just let me just repeat

3351
01:59:16,971 --> 01:59:17,538
because that I think a lot of

3352
01:59:17,538 --> 01:59:21,138
people are. What I said was

3353
01:59:21,742 --> 01:59:23,678
nothing in the cp today will

3354
01:59:23,678 --> 01:59:25,713
change the The part of the

3355
01:59:25,713 --> 01:59:27,348
rules of procedure for Council

3356
01:59:27,348 --> 01:59:27,882
that were amended at the last

3357
01:59:27,882 --> 01:59:29,450
vote so that that is not

3358
01:59:29,450 --> 01:59:33,500
addressed in this cp. It is

3359
01:59:34,220 --> 01:59:34,622
just the schedule portion.

3360
01:59:34,622 --> 01:59:38,222
>> I want the council to have

3361
01:59:38,993 --> 01:59:41,993
a discussion about that. I

3362
01:59:43,697 --> 01:59:44,231
think we support Before we had

3363
01:59:44,231 --> 01:59:47,735
that. I think we have the

3364
01:59:47,735 --> 01:59:48,369
option of having a if we

3365
01:59:48,369 --> 01:59:51,539
thought was the most calm. And

3366
01:59:51,539 --> 01:59:52,173
I think we've done that

3367
01:59:52,173 --> 01:59:52,740
effectively over the years. So

3368
01:59:52,740 --> 01:59:55,543
I think that's something we

3369
01:59:55,543 --> 01:59:56,770
can revisit Ian, but I want to

3370
01:59:56,770 --> 01:59:59,770
hear from the other cows

3371
02:00:01,516 --> 02:00:02,830
before do that. But again, I

3372
02:00:02,830 --> 02:00:05,830
want to thank my colleagues

3373
02:00:06,221 --> 02:00:07,589
and also address we were at

3374
02:00:07,589 --> 02:00:08,623
time cross comeback from the

3375
02:00:08,623 --> 02:00:10,458
holidays and sell. Some

3376
02:00:10,458 --> 02:00:11,726
members did not see the email

3377
02:00:11,726 --> 02:00:12,294
of the cp. So I think you have

3378
02:00:12,294 --> 02:00:13,761
a lot of people on dias who

3379
02:00:13,761 --> 02:00:16,161
actually support the sleepy

3380
02:00:16,531 --> 02:00:17,133
but was not able to sign it

3381
02:00:17,133 --> 02:00:20,733
for some of the remarks that

3382
02:00:20,869 --> 02:00:21,502
stated. On at the monitor

3383
02:00:21,502 --> 02:00:24,239
today. So those are my initial

3384
02:00:24,239 --> 02:00:26,639
comments. Thank you. Council

3385
02:00:28,543 --> 02:00:29,770
Martinez.

3386
02:00:29,770 --> 02:00:31,146
>> And just also want to

3387
02:00:31,146 --> 02:00:33,648
reiterate. Thank you for you

3388
02:00:33,648 --> 02:00:34,249
came and spoke today. I do

3389
02:00:34,249 --> 02:00:34,849
understand the important

3390
02:00:34,849 --> 02:00:37,849
public comment because we are

3391
02:00:38,687 --> 02:00:39,254
made aware of issues in our

3392
02:00:39,254 --> 02:00:39,821
communities that, you know,

3393
02:00:39,821 --> 02:00:42,240
people don't reach out via

3394
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:42,491
email or phone call and so

3395
02:00:42,491 --> 02:00:44,891
that this is another

3396
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:46,361
opportunity for those that are

3397
02:00:46,361 --> 02:00:49,898
to wear of how to communicate

3398
02:00:49,898 --> 02:00:50,965
with us. But can look at the

3399
02:00:50,965 --> 02:00:51,500
schedule. But like everybody

3400
02:00:51,500 --> 02:00:53,835
else. I want to thank my

3401
02:00:53,835 --> 02:00:54,703
colleagues Council nettles and

3402
02:00:54,703 --> 02:00:57,103
COUNCILMAN Crane working on

3403
02:00:57,940 --> 02:00:58,507
this epa in collaboration with

3404
02:00:58,507 --> 02:00:59,942
interested council members.

3405
02:00:59,942 --> 02:01:03,542
And I really do appreciate the

3406
02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:04,947
dialogue and opportunity to

3407
02:01:04,947 --> 02:01:05,581
contribute towards a

3408
02:01:05,581 --> 02:01:06,215
consensus. And let me just say

3409
02:01:06,215 --> 02:01:08,550
I will be supporting tonight's

3410
02:01:08,550 --> 02:01:10,819
vote. Council. Our store.

3411
02:01:10,819 --> 02:01:13,219
Thank you, mayor. Chris,

3412
02:01:14,523 --> 02:01:15,240
you're absolutely right. I did

3413
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:15,624
say I do hear a lot of

3414
02:01:15,624 --> 02:01:18,360
solutions. I have heard some

3415
02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:21,360
solutions. I think for for

3416
02:01:21,664 --> 02:01:22,298
those of us who are we're here

3417
02:01:22,298 --> 02:01:25,434
and we see some some new faces

3418
02:01:25,434 --> 02:01:26,350
every now and then. I think we

3419
02:01:26,350 --> 02:01:26,669
can all agree that sometimes

3420
02:01:26,669 --> 02:01:29,371
we do hear some pretty bad. It

3421
02:01:29,371 --> 02:01:29,939
is there some pretty

3422
02:01:29,939 --> 02:01:32,339
outlandish comments or even

3423
02:01:33,776 --> 02:01:34,710
root a derogatory comments.

3424
02:01:34,710 --> 02:01:35,244
And I think sometimes it's

3425
02:01:35,244 --> 02:01:35,811
good ideas, get lost. And

3426
02:01:35,811 --> 02:01:38,681
they're so right. There are

3427
02:01:38,681 --> 02:01:39,148
some good solutions out there.

3428
02:01:39,148 --> 02:01:40,617
And I think it's also

3429
02:01:40,617 --> 02:01:42,251
important note that whenever

3430
02:01:42,251 --> 02:01:42,819
people do come forward with

3431
02:01:42,819 --> 02:01:44,554
solutions or ideas or their

3432
02:01:44,554 --> 02:01:45,154
vision of moving forth Ford.

3433
02:01:45,154 --> 02:01:48,491
It's a port to remember that

3434
02:01:48,491 --> 02:01:49,580
not all not everyone agrees

3435
02:01:49,580 --> 02:01:49,692
with dosing visions. But I

3436
02:01:49,692 --> 02:01:52,428
think it's important that when

3437
02:01:52,428 --> 02:01:52,962
we can discuss them. I don't

3438
02:01:52,962 --> 02:01:55,362
know whatever happened to

3439
02:01:56,499 --> 02:01:57,133
being able to agree to

3440
02:01:57,133 --> 02:02:00,733
disagree. Do it simply it just

3441
02:02:00,737 --> 02:02:02,338
be kind about it. So I hope

3442
02:02:02,338 --> 02:02:02,839
regardless of what happens

3443
02:02:02,839 --> 02:02:03,405
tonight that as we move

3444
02:02:03,405 --> 02:02:05,942
forward, we can get back to

3445
02:02:05,942 --> 02:02:06,476
handling city business things

3446
02:02:06,476 --> 02:02:09,212
that we actually have the

3447
02:02:09,212 --> 02:02:09,846
ability to effect here at the

3448
02:02:09,846 --> 02:02:10,480
city level and leave the state

3449
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:13,249
and national level issues for

3450
02:02:13,249 --> 02:02:15,785
them. For the for those who

3451
02:02:15,785 --> 02:02:16,619
thought we looked board up

3452
02:02:16,619 --> 02:02:17,187
here. I certainly apologize. I

3453
02:02:17,187 --> 02:02:20,187
mean, I know. I'm certainly

3454
02:02:20,490 --> 02:02:23,490
not board. Actually. Enjoy my

3455
02:02:25,610 --> 02:02:25,996
time up here and tonight, a

3456
02:02:25,996 --> 02:02:26,629
had to MISS My wife's

3457
02:02:26,629 --> 02:02:27,263
radiation check of your. But I

3458
02:02:27,263 --> 02:02:30,232
wanted to be here because this

3459
02:02:30,232 --> 02:02:30,733
is important. And so if

3460
02:02:30,733 --> 02:02:32,733
somebody nodding often,

3461
02:02:34,871 --> 02:02:35,438
that's. We want now and I do

3462
02:02:35,438 --> 02:02:38,740
like the idea about talker

3463
02:02:38,740 --> 02:02:39,750
Tuesday talk about that more

3464
02:02:39,750 --> 02:02:42,750
so MISTER Martinez, thank you.

3465
02:02:43,914 --> 02:02:45,615
I think that's great idea. But

3466
02:02:45,615 --> 02:02:46,183
I did not. I did get this

3467
02:02:46,183 --> 02:02:47,418
e-mail full transparency. I

3468
02:02:47,418 --> 02:02:48,180
got this, you know, very early

3469
02:02:48,180 --> 02:02:51,618
on before other signed up for

3470
02:02:52,121 --> 02:02:52,689
and at first I was not. It's

3471
02:02:52,689 --> 02:02:53,223
because I thought we made a

3472
02:02:53,223 --> 02:02:53,757
decision. Let's just, you

3473
02:02:53,757 --> 02:02:56,757
know, stick to it. Move

3474
02:02:57,260 --> 02:02:57,727
forward. And then I think

3475
02:02:57,727 --> 02:03:00,127
about you know, forth

3476
02:03:01,331 --> 02:03:01,898
residents like Barbara Brewer,

3477
02:03:01,898 --> 02:03:02,532
you know, Wesley Clark last

3478
02:03:02,532 --> 02:03:06,200
time he brought up some really

3479
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:06,570
about points about art. So

3480
02:03:06,570 --> 02:03:07,104
then it gets this might is

3481
02:03:07,104 --> 02:03:07,704
running on what we can do

3482
02:03:07,704 --> 02:03:10,104
specifically in district 4 to

3483
02:03:11,241 --> 02:03:13,760
address some of those

3484
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:14,378
concerns. And so I'm sure

3485
02:03:14,378 --> 02:03:14,911
we'll have this goes forward.

3486
02:03:14,911 --> 02:03:15,946
There will still be those

3487
02:03:15,946 --> 02:03:16,480
public comments that are kind

3488
02:03:16,480 --> 02:03:17,800
of kind of out there. But

3489
02:03:17,800 --> 02:03:19,800
again, absolutely, everyone's

3490
02:03:19,950 --> 02:03:20,517
right for those. But I'm

3491
02:03:20,517 --> 02:03:21,117
looking forward to hearing

3492
02:03:21,117 --> 02:03:24,540
those those great issues that

3493
02:03:24,540 --> 02:03:24,588
we can affect here together as

3494
02:03:24,588 --> 02:03:27,588
a team. So appreciate it.

3495
02:03:30,394 --> 02:03:31,527
Thank you. Customer Hill.

3496
02:03:31,527 --> 02:03:32,129
>> Well, first of all, I want

3497
02:03:32,129 --> 02:03:32,729
to publicly state. I support

3498
02:03:32,729 --> 02:03:35,599
hearing from the public. That

3499
02:03:35,599 --> 02:03:36,200
is our job is to listen to

3500
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:39,800
you. And it is essential to

3501
02:03:39,970 --> 02:03:40,505
accountable non-partisan

3502
02:03:40,505 --> 02:03:41,171
government. And I want to

3503
02:03:41,171 --> 02:03:41,705
highlight a couple data points

3504
02:03:41,705 --> 02:03:44,508
because did ask the city

3505
02:03:44,508 --> 02:03:45,420
secretary for a list of and

3506
02:03:45,420 --> 02:03:46,743
those that came to public

3507
02:03:46,743 --> 02:03:49,743
comment of the last 12 months

3508
02:03:50,581 --> 02:03:51,315
we had a 10502 speaker signup.

3509
02:03:51,315 --> 02:03:53,715
It's 14 hours and 30 minutes

3510
02:03:56,530 --> 02:03:58,189
if we can average out time

3511
02:03:58,189 --> 02:03:59,857
speakers if you look at the

3512
02:03:59,857 --> 02:04:00,458
numbers, only 20 of those

3513
02:04:00,458 --> 02:04:01,925
right. 20's of those speakers

3514
02:04:01,925 --> 02:04:02,860
took up 7 hours at this time

3515
02:04:02,860 --> 02:04:05,860
we're hearing from a very,

3516
02:04:07,230 --> 02:04:08,232
very small percentage. The 4th

3517
02:04:08,232 --> 02:04:09,367
population we have over a

3518
02:04:09,367 --> 02:04:09,967
million people that's like 0,

3519
02:04:09,967 --> 02:04:12,367
0, 5%, that actually come to

3520
02:04:16,307 --> 02:04:17,542
public comment meetings. We

3521
02:04:17,542 --> 02:04:18,643
get more people here. I think

3522
02:04:18,643 --> 02:04:19,644
it's important for more voices

3523
02:04:19,644 --> 02:04:20,311
to be heard. We're

3524
02:04:20,311 --> 02:04:22,711
perpetuating a cycle that

3525
02:04:22,814 --> 02:04:23,614
serves a very tiny fraction of

3526
02:04:23,614 --> 02:04:24,148
our community at the expense

3527
02:04:24,148 --> 02:04:27,485
of tax payer time and the

3528
02:04:27,485 --> 02:04:28,320
broader public good. My

3529
02:04:28,320 --> 02:04:30,321
concern is the discussion

3530
02:04:30,321 --> 02:04:30,888
should be more about

3531
02:04:30,888 --> 02:04:31,422
responsible governance and

3532
02:04:31,422 --> 02:04:31,889
ensuring more Fort Worth

3533
02:04:31,889 --> 02:04:34,289
residents have a real

3534
02:04:35,660 --> 02:04:36,194
opportunity to be heard. Our

3535
02:04:36,194 --> 02:04:38,594
next speaker is counselor

3536
02:04:41,366 --> 02:04:41,965
Flores.

3537
02:04:41,965 --> 02:04:42,566
>> First, I want to start off

3538
02:04:42,566 --> 02:04:45,736
with saying thank you all of

3539
02:04:45,736 --> 02:04:48,736
you. Too. Share your opinions

3540
02:04:48,839 --> 02:04:50,842
from Citians on this. Tonight.

3541
02:04:50,842 --> 02:04:54,442
We heard a range of comments

3542
02:04:55,479 --> 02:04:55,981
both not so constructive.

3543
02:04:55,981 --> 02:04:56,548
Illustrates part of the

3544
02:04:56,548 --> 02:04:58,548
challenge of communicating

3545
02:04:59,351 --> 02:05:01,751
with one another. Don't

3546
02:05:02,287 --> 02:05:02,787
communicate the same way and

3547
02:05:02,787 --> 02:05:06,387
we don't go by the same

3548
02:05:07,192 --> 02:05:07,959
baseline. I get that. Like

3549
02:05:07,959 --> 02:05:09,728
colleague MAY see, I also

3550
02:05:09,728 --> 02:05:11,729
spoke to our city For me. My

3551
02:05:11,729 --> 02:05:14,129
overriding concern was getting

3552
02:05:14,532 --> 02:05:15,100
city business. There's

3553
02:05:15,100 --> 02:05:18,100
something lost in the data

3554
02:05:19,204 --> 02:05:19,771
that's available. In the past

3555
02:05:19,771 --> 02:05:22,771
few years Council has been

3556
02:05:22,774 --> 02:05:25,774
able to achieve and complete

3557
02:05:26,378 --> 02:05:29,948
more Council work. As we our

3558
02:05:29,948 --> 02:05:30,516
counsel calendars every year.

3559
02:05:30,516 --> 02:05:31,830
We're able to realize that

3560
02:05:31,830 --> 02:05:34,830
because the business of the

3561
02:05:34,553 --> 02:05:36,321
city. Is what our charge is

3562
02:05:36,321 --> 02:05:36,922
and that does include public

3563
02:05:36,922 --> 02:05:40,522
comment. We still have to get

3564
02:05:40,559 --> 02:05:41,126
business top. So according to

3565
02:05:41,126 --> 02:05:43,950
city secretary, we thought

3566
02:05:43,950 --> 02:05:46,950
that this cp could still

3567
02:05:47,165 --> 02:05:50,165
achieve that. So that earned.

3568
02:05:51,690 --> 02:05:51,570
A big level of support for me.

3569
02:05:51,570 --> 02:05:53,772
I think that the cp is

3570
02:05:53,772 --> 02:05:54,373
reasonable and it goes towards

3571
02:05:54,373 --> 02:05:56,773
creating or opportunities for

3572
02:05:58,344 --> 02:05:59,111
public comment. Rules

3573
02:05:59,111 --> 02:06:00,479
procedures. Do cover the

3574
02:06:00,479 --> 02:06:02,381
management of time and that is

3575
02:06:02,381 --> 02:06:05,650
the purview of our mayor sits

3576
02:06:05,650 --> 02:06:09,250
at that center seat. Cp does

3577
02:06:09,588 --> 02:06:10,189
double the now a public

3578
02:06:10,189 --> 02:06:13,189
comment that's I think that's

3579
02:06:13,426 --> 02:06:16,262
great opportunity. And I want

3580
02:06:16,262 --> 02:06:16,862
everyone to consider this.

3581
02:06:16,862 --> 02:06:19,332
Okay. As I look out at you, I

3582
02:06:19,332 --> 02:06:19,932
can see some of the reactions.

3583
02:06:19,932 --> 02:06:20,532
That's all we're having. And

3584
02:06:20,532 --> 02:06:23,532
so they're very again. We're

3585
02:06:25,700 --> 02:06:25,605
all different people. Remember

3586
02:06:25,605 --> 02:06:26,720
this effective discourse

3587
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:26,472
furthers that goal of

3588
02:06:26,472 --> 02:06:28,274
communication and

3589
02:06:28,274 --> 02:06:29,410
understanding. I appreciate

3590
02:06:29,410 --> 02:06:31,409
those who take the time make

3591
02:06:31,409 --> 02:06:33,780
the effort coming here to

3592
02:06:33,780 --> 02:06:36,181
speak at our Council meetings.

3593
02:06:36,181 --> 02:06:38,117
And so just remember. You

3594
02:06:38,117 --> 02:06:42,540
know, we can all be, you know,

3595
02:06:42,540 --> 02:06:42,655
driven by passion. We can all

3596
02:06:42,655 --> 02:06:43,889
be, you know, settled. We can

3597
02:06:43,889 --> 02:06:47,125
be angry at times. But it's

3598
02:06:47,125 --> 02:06:50,125
important to get. You know,

3599
02:06:50,729 --> 02:06:51,330
our thoughts and ideas across.

3600
02:06:51,330 --> 02:06:53,766
You know, endeavor to do that

3601
02:06:53,766 --> 02:06:54,400
in the most effective way. You

3602
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:56,402
know, attacking one another, a

3603
02:06:56,402 --> 02:06:57,360
personal level. Doesn't

3604
02:06:57,360 --> 02:06:59,706
achieve that goal in my humble

3605
02:06:59,706 --> 02:07:02,106
opinion. As my comments.

3606
02:07:04,644 --> 02:07:07,440
That's why we're back.

3607
02:07:07,914 --> 02:07:08,481
>> My first questions to land.

3608
02:07:08,481 --> 02:07:10,350
I just want to go back and

3609
02:07:10,350 --> 02:07:10,917
visit the council rules of

3610
02:07:10,917 --> 02:07:13,317
procedure versus before us

3611
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:17,123
today on the cp. So the the

3612
02:07:17,123 --> 02:07:17,690
automatic reduction in the

3613
02:07:17,690 --> 02:07:20,900
number of minutes. For

3614
02:07:21,270 --> 02:07:21,628
speakers was adopted, separate

3615
02:07:21,628 --> 02:07:24,628
and apart from our calendar,

3616
02:07:26,666 --> 02:07:27,266
correct. It was all on the

3617
02:07:27,266 --> 02:07:30,266
same resolution. But yeah, I

3618
02:07:30,303 --> 02:07:30,871
was 2 different pieces

3619
02:07:30,871 --> 02:07:32,773
differences. So would it be

3620
02:07:32,773 --> 02:07:35,773
appropriate today if we wanted

3621
02:07:36,710 --> 02:07:37,744
to also change that rule of

3622
02:07:37,744 --> 02:07:40,744
procedure to require one. Can

3623
02:07:40,947 --> 02:07:41,548
we require a vote on the

3624
02:07:41,548 --> 02:07:44,548
reduction of minutes is that

3625
02:07:45,319 --> 02:07:46,320
allowed by law without it

3626
02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:47,954
being on the agenda like is

3627
02:07:47,954 --> 02:07:48,688
there a procedural way that we

3628
02:07:48,688 --> 02:07:52,888
can do. I think you make a

3629
02:07:53,393 --> 02:07:53,993
motion to add that night.

3630
02:07:53,993 --> 02:07:54,596
>> Okay. That change, then I

3631
02:07:54,596 --> 02:07:58,196
will add a motion. I'm have.

3632
02:08:00,834 --> 02:08:03,234
They an amended motion.

3633
02:08:04,838 --> 02:08:06,106
>> amend cp 3, 3, 5, to

3634
02:08:06,106 --> 02:08:09,106
include that any reduction of

3635
02:08:11,379 --> 02:08:11,979
the 3 minute time limit. Only

3636
02:08:11,979 --> 02:08:15,579
allowed by a majority vote of

3637
02:08:17,351 --> 02:08:19,351
Council.

3638
02:08:20,854 --> 02:08:23,854
>> I I do appreciate. The

3639
02:08:25,493 --> 02:08:26,260
constructive comments tonight.

3640
02:08:26,260 --> 02:08:29,626
I think it's a reason why

3641
02:08:29,630 --> 02:08:30,197
public comment is important.

3642
02:08:30,197 --> 02:08:30,898
The one thing that I heard

3643
02:08:30,898 --> 02:08:33,298
consistently was and what

3644
02:08:36,336 --> 02:08:37,471
really struck a chord with me

3645
02:08:37,471 --> 02:08:38,171
not knowing how much time you

3646
02:08:38,171 --> 02:08:38,806
have to speak and that

3647
02:08:38,806 --> 02:08:40,540
volatility and what that means

3648
02:08:40,540 --> 02:08:44,140
to your remarks. I can speak

3649
02:08:45,179 --> 02:08:45,813
for 60 seconds. 3 minutes, 10

3650
02:08:45,813 --> 02:08:46,414
minutes. If you give me a

3651
02:08:46,414 --> 02:08:48,549
professional. So most people

3652
02:08:48,549 --> 02:08:52,749
up here on this diocese. So I

3653
02:08:53,821 --> 02:08:54,555
can see how. Suddenly having a

3654
02:08:54,555 --> 02:08:56,724
What you have prepared and

3655
02:08:56,724 --> 02:09:00,924
many people. I know I have a.

3656
02:09:01,763 --> 02:09:02,830
Know many people who. Are very

3657
02:09:02,830 --> 02:09:03,431
uncomfortable about public

3658
02:09:03,431 --> 02:09:04,632
speaking. They prepare. They

3659
02:09:04,632 --> 02:09:05,233
write the remarks they

3660
02:09:05,233 --> 02:09:08,233
rehearse them. They know that

3661
02:09:08,669 --> 02:09:09,637
they have exactly 2 minutes

3662
02:09:09,637 --> 02:09:10,238
and 58 seconds and they can't

3663
02:09:10,238 --> 02:09:12,372
say that one word to longer.

3664
02:09:12,372 --> 02:09:13,374
They're going to mess up. And

3665
02:09:13,374 --> 02:09:14,800
I think that we owe it to

3666
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:17,608
those people to have some more

3667
02:09:19,380 --> 02:09:20,148
consistency. Skews and if

3668
02:09:20,148 --> 02:09:23,148
we're going to reduce that

3669
02:09:24,318 --> 02:09:26,887
time limit. We a reason and

3670
02:09:26,887 --> 02:09:27,822
shouldn't be just automatic.

3671
02:09:27,822 --> 02:09:31,826
So I ask that all of my

3672
02:09:31,826 --> 02:09:32,627
council members here. Join me

3673
02:09:32,627 --> 02:09:35,290
in that amendment to this

3674
02:09:35,290 --> 02:09:35,563
motion so that we can have

3675
02:09:35,563 --> 02:09:37,963
more transparency in the

3676
02:09:45,540 --> 02:09:46,274
process of reducing that time.

3677
02:09:46,274 --> 02:09:47,141
All right. I I want to say

3678
02:09:47,141 --> 02:09:50,741
that I think tonight's vote is

3679
02:09:51,313 --> 02:09:51,913
about growth. And it's about

3680
02:09:51,913 --> 02:09:54,913
growth for this Council has

3681
02:09:55,183 --> 02:09:55,750
about growth for the city. I

3682
02:09:55,750 --> 02:09:58,150
don't always get everything

3683
02:09:59,421 --> 02:10:00,210
right the first time. Those

3684
02:10:00,210 --> 02:10:01,657
sitting to my left and right

3685
02:10:01,657 --> 02:10:02,257
don't always get right things

3686
02:10:02,257 --> 02:10:04,226
right the first time, whether

3687
02:10:04,226 --> 02:10:04,860
that's a vote we take you on

3688
02:10:04,860 --> 02:10:07,860
Council a conversation we have

3689
02:10:08,196 --> 02:10:08,997
with the constituent, the

3690
02:10:08,997 --> 02:10:09,631
things we do at home with our

3691
02:10:09,631 --> 02:10:10,232
family. You know, the things

3692
02:10:10,232 --> 02:10:14,432
we say or do with our family

3693
02:10:15,537 --> 02:10:17,105
and our friends. Makes growth

3694
02:10:17,105 --> 02:10:17,673
is admitting when you got it

3695
02:10:17,673 --> 02:10:20,309
wrong and doing the work to

3696
02:10:20,309 --> 02:10:23,110
get it right. And so tonight

3697
02:10:23,110 --> 02:10:24,747
what you see here with this

3698
02:10:24,747 --> 02:10:25,280
vote is our growth as a

3699
02:10:25,280 --> 02:10:27,216
council realizing that we

3700
02:10:27,216 --> 02:10:29,517
didn't get it right listening

3701
02:10:29,517 --> 02:10:30,119
to the voices of the people

3702
02:10:30,119 --> 02:10:34,319
and doing our best to try to

3703
02:10:34,690 --> 02:10:35,257
make that right. And so for

3704
02:10:35,257 --> 02:10:38,857
that reason, I'd ask for a

3705
02:10:39,261 --> 02:10:39,862
second for my amendment the

3706
02:10:39,862 --> 02:10:43,462
from my colleagues to join me

3707
02:10:45,301 --> 02:10:45,901
in voting particular cp. So

3708
02:10:45,901 --> 02:10:46,502
got a motion and a second on

3709
02:10:46,502 --> 02:10:49,305
the alternative motion for cp

3710
02:10:49,305 --> 02:10:49,805
3, 3, 5, Before you vote or

3711
02:10:49,805 --> 02:10:52,205
any other discussion or

3712
02:11:03,385 --> 02:11:05,785
commentary from the council.

3713
02:11:17,500 --> 02:11:18,133
Motion carries.

3714
02:11:18,133 --> 02:11:19,134
>> Mayor, we should now take

3715
02:11:19,134 --> 02:11:21,134
unless there's another

3716
02:11:23,406 --> 02:11:23,972
amendment take a motion on the

3717
02:11:23,972 --> 02:11:26,972
main motion from Nettles as

3718
02:11:28,144 --> 02:11:30,713
amended. He never made a

3719
02:11:30,713 --> 02:11:31,114
motion. Okay. So what do you

3720
02:11:31,114 --> 02:11:34,114
need for me to be

3721
02:11:36,352 --> 02:11:38,354
procedurally. Then we motion

3722
02:11:38,354 --> 02:11:38,855
to I think mine approved an

3723
02:11:38,855 --> 02:11:41,255
amended should hers is

3724
02:11:43,892 --> 02:11:44,494
approved and we're going land.

3725
02:11:44,494 --> 02:11:45,127
>> Yeah. Absence Nettles that

3726
02:11:45,127 --> 02:11:48,727
make the motion only back made

3727
02:11:49,432 --> 02:11:49,999
a motion. So her stance. Yeah.

3728
02:11:49,999 --> 02:11:53,599
It approves the cp with the

3729
02:12:00,430 --> 02:12:02,430
amendment. Councilmember for

3730
02:12:02,678 --> 02:12:04,678
us.

3731
02:12:05,414 --> 02:12:07,814
>> Some clarity here because.

3732
02:12:08,351 --> 02:12:10,787
My vote was predicated on a

3733
02:12:10,787 --> 02:12:11,321
proper vote. The council took.

3734
02:12:11,321 --> 02:12:13,721
>> Specific to rules and

3735
02:12:14,557 --> 02:12:16,910
procedures. Maybe I'm not

3736
02:12:16,910 --> 02:12:18,428
fully understanding. You know

3737
02:12:18,428 --> 02:12:19,996
what just happened. That. Can

3738
02:12:19,996 --> 02:12:22,996
you articulate it little more

3739
02:12:23,967 --> 02:12:24,533
clear to me.

3740
02:12:24,533 --> 02:12:26,303
>> So there is no motion on

3741
02:12:26,303 --> 02:12:27,471
the floor. So the only emotion

3742
02:12:27,471 --> 02:12:30,471
on the floor was from

3743
02:12:30,607 --> 02:12:31,208
councilmember back who was

3744
02:12:31,208 --> 02:12:34,208
motioning to approved the cp

3745
02:12:35,746 --> 02:12:37,514
with the amendment.

3746
02:12:37,514 --> 02:12:38,115
>> To have the one-hour time

3747
02:12:38,115 --> 02:12:39,283
deal only be by Council up in

3748
02:12:39,283 --> 02:12:42,283
the full Council approval. So

3749
02:12:46,390 --> 02:12:46,990
that was it. Council k.

3750
02:12:46,990 --> 02:12:47,624
>> I think there is confusion

3751
02:12:47,624 --> 02:12:51,824
on what we're voting on. So I

3752
02:12:52,950 --> 02:12:53,230
think since week. We do have

3753
02:12:53,230 --> 02:12:53,831
the ability to rescind that

3754
02:12:53,831 --> 02:12:55,320
vote with a vote. Right. And

3755
02:12:55,320 --> 02:12:59,232
then re vote again on MAY be 2

3756
02:13:02,539 --> 02:13:03,741
motions.

3757
02:13:03,741 --> 02:13:05,142
>> Yeah, it'll still be one

3758
02:13:05,142 --> 02:13:05,743
that mean people don't want to

3759
02:13:05,743 --> 02:13:07,711
do, that's fine. But I just

3760
02:13:07,711 --> 02:13:08,745
want make sure Bay that wanted

3761
02:13:08,745 --> 02:13:09,379
to certainly got to vote a

3762
02:13:09,379 --> 02:13:10,130
certain way. And what I'm here

3763
02:13:10,130 --> 02:13:13,613
from Carlos, as you thought he

3764
02:13:13,951 --> 02:13:14,885
was confused.

3765
02:13:14,885 --> 02:13:16,887
>> And so those are to my

3766
02:13:16,887 --> 02:13:17,488
confusion right there because

3767
02:13:17,488 --> 02:13:19,123
when his defense, if you saw

3768
02:13:19,123 --> 02:13:19,790
there was a motion on the

3769
02:13:19,790 --> 02:13:20,290
floor. I already from

3770
02:13:20,290 --> 02:13:20,890
COUNCILMAN Nettles that

3771
02:13:20,890 --> 02:13:21,492
procedurally would have been

3772
02:13:21,492 --> 02:13:21,692
confusing. I can see that.

3773
02:13:21,692 --> 02:13:22,293
Yeah.

3774
02:13:22,293 --> 02:13:24,293
>> Councilmember halted, you

3775
02:13:39,443 --> 02:13:41,145
have something. I am fine. So.

3776
02:13:41,145 --> 02:13:41,879
Yeah, it screen out what their

3777
02:13:41,879 --> 02:13:42,447
go because I wasn't cookies

3778
02:13:42,447 --> 02:13:45,416
and that now maybe confuse,

3779
02:13:45,416 --> 02:13:45,983
what are we moving forward

3780
02:13:45,983 --> 02:13:46,584
>> because I just did. And

3781
02:13:46,584 --> 02:13:50,184
then heard you repeat it and

3782
02:13:50,821 --> 02:13:52,821
then we voted.

3783
02:13:53,625 --> 02:13:54,158
>> So a regional cp that was

3784
02:13:54,158 --> 02:13:54,726
presented to Council, not

3785
02:13:54,726 --> 02:13:55,727
confused about that cookies

3786
02:13:55,727 --> 02:13:59,327
about part b, which is what

3787
02:14:01,565 --> 02:14:02,200
we're doing now. Right. Well.

3788
02:14:02,200 --> 02:14:02,834
Discussing because think there

3789
02:14:02,834 --> 02:14:03,434
was some confusion by council

3790
02:14:03,434 --> 02:14:04,869
members as to what they were

3791
02:14:04,869 --> 02:14:07,869
actually voting upon. And what

3792
02:14:08,573 --> 02:14:09,407
was voted upon and past was

3793
02:14:09,407 --> 02:14:10,800
the original cp was presented

3794
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:11,609
with an additional amendment

3795
02:14:11,609 --> 02:14:14,609
Council are back that pertains

3796
02:14:15,380 --> 02:14:15,947
the rules of procedure which

3797
02:14:15,947 --> 02:14:17,140
changes back to the way we

3798
02:14:17,140 --> 02:14:20,140
change amount of time allotted

3799
02:14:20,850 --> 02:14:23,685
as a council and speakers are

3800
02:14:24,155 --> 02:14:26,155
beyond one hour.

3801
02:14:26,258 --> 02:14:26,858
>> Are we amending rules and

3802
02:14:26,858 --> 02:14:27,893
procedures or we amending the

3803
02:14:27,893 --> 02:14:29,893
cp.

3804
02:14:36,201 --> 02:14:36,801
>> Of 5. That's a two-part.

3805
02:14:36,801 --> 02:14:37,335
When we voted for it the same

3806
02:14:37,335 --> 02:14:40,935
way look at last and for

3807
02:14:42,400 --> 02:14:42,674
clarity.

3808
02:14:42,674 --> 02:14:44,342
>> Right. So it just like when

3809
02:14:44,342 --> 02:14:46,111
we did the resolution that

3810
02:14:46,111 --> 02:14:48,460
adopted the schedule for the

3811
02:14:48,460 --> 02:14:48,580
year and amended the rules of

3812
02:14:48,580 --> 02:14:49,814
procedure. The amendment

3813
02:14:49,814 --> 02:14:50,481
essentially did the same thing

3814
02:14:50,481 --> 02:14:51,150
with this pp, which has a

3815
02:14:51,150 --> 02:14:53,150
resolution attached. This

3816
02:14:54,452 --> 02:14:56,187
resolutions the same way with

3817
02:14:56,187 --> 02:14:56,821
the amendment changes the

3818
02:14:56,821 --> 02:14:57,356
schedule and changes the rules

3819
02:14:57,356 --> 02:15:00,325
of procedure. Just as the

3820
02:15:00,325 --> 02:15:00,892
first resolution did. Does

3821
02:15:00,892 --> 02:15:04,492
that make clear to me now.

3822
02:15:07,900 --> 02:15:08,233
Thank you. Now as counselor

3823
02:15:08,233 --> 02:15:08,867
crane stated.

3824
02:15:08,867 --> 02:15:09,502
>> We can rescind the original

3825
02:15:09,502 --> 02:15:10,350
vote. If there's any confusion

3826
02:15:10,350 --> 02:15:10,569
on the dice about how you

3827
02:15:10,569 --> 02:15:11,170
wanted to vote and we can

3828
02:15:11,170 --> 02:15:14,606
revoke that is not a problem.

3829
02:15:14,606 --> 02:15:18,244
Carlos. So what we do that we

3830
02:15:18,244 --> 02:15:18,811
re send original vote. We're

3831
02:15:18,811 --> 02:15:19,278
now have more clarity, any

3832
02:15:19,278 --> 02:15:19,878

3833
02:15:19,878 --> 02:15:20,546
councilmembers allows them to

3834
02:15:20,546 --> 02:15:24,746
vote as they like to that hurt

3835
02:15:27,419 --> 02:15:31,190
anything. What do you need to

3836
02:15:31,290 --> 02:15:33,290

3935
02:20:05,100 --> 02:20:07,135
here. So I'm here to speak for

3936
02:20:07,135 --> 02:20:10,135
the community. I Polly itself

3937
02:20:10,639 --> 02:20:11,207
neighborhood Association's

3938
02:20:11,207 --> 02:20:14,207
vice PRESIDENT. I'm not And

3939
02:20:14,443 --> 02:20:15,440
here we are talking about

3940
02:20:15,440 --> 02:20:18,440
proposing a mobile food court

3941
02:20:20,116 --> 02:20:20,683
on East Berry. I presented a

3942
02:20:20,683 --> 02:20:22,485
presentation with some 3 d

3943
02:20:22,485 --> 02:20:23,850
images. I'm not sure. But

3944
02:20:23,850 --> 02:20:24,954
does. I think that's the best

3945
02:20:24,954 --> 02:20:26,856
one you can get. So this is

3946
02:20:26,856 --> 02:20:29,856
essentially a food court that

3947
02:20:31,270 --> 02:20:32,295
would benefit for us because

3948
02:20:32,295 --> 02:20:32,929
on this side of area where we

3949
02:20:32,929 --> 02:20:35,929
stay. There's really early for

3950
02:20:36,332 --> 02:20:37,867
any food options until you

3951
02:20:37,867 --> 02:20:41,467
cross to 87 down on these very

3952
02:20:43,172 --> 02:20:46,750
torch Mitchell apart. We feel

3953
02:20:46,750 --> 02:20:46,576
that this would bring a lot

3954
02:20:46,576 --> 02:20:49,576
value to the east Side

3955
02:20:49,712 --> 02:20:50,213
community making upbringing.

3956
02:20:50,213 --> 02:20:53,813
Will be a price for our

3957
02:20:53,983 --> 02:20:54,951
community. And I think.

3958
02:20:54,951 --> 02:20:56,786
Something valuable for our

3959
02:20:56,786 --> 02:20:57,353
community to start you know,

3960
02:20:57,353 --> 02:20:58,588
fundraisers kind of which I

3961
02:20:58,588 --> 02:21:01,588
did in your presentations that

3962
02:21:02,492 --> 02:21:05,728
start have a place for people

3963
02:21:05,728 --> 02:21:06,262
to come enjoy some good food.

3964
02:21:06,262 --> 02:21:06,862
But also get back to the

3965
02:21:06,862 --> 02:21:09,262
community and many different

3966
02:21:10,467 --> 02:21:13,467
race. I'm hoping this project

3967
02:21:14,371 --> 02:21:17,574
gets approved not just for my

3968
02:21:17,574 --> 02:21:18,908
sake but my family's sake the

3969
02:21:18,908 --> 02:21:20,210
whole community and for the

3970
02:21:20,210 --> 02:21:20,644
city of Fort Worth. So I can

3971
02:21:20,644 --> 02:21:21,211
see some growth and

3972
02:21:21,211 --> 02:21:23,211
development. Finally, that

3973
02:21:23,647 --> 02:21:26,820
side of Mary and continue to

3974
02:21:26,820 --> 02:21:26,716
grow and develop into

3975
02:21:26,716 --> 02:21:29,116
something more valuable, more

3976
02:21:31,455 --> 02:21:32,550
prestigious. And it will also

3977
02:21:32,550 --> 02:21:35,550
The something great. I think

3978
02:21:36,259 --> 02:21:36,859
for local schools, local

3979
02:21:36,859 --> 02:21:37,927
businesses there so they can

3980
02:21:37,927 --> 02:21:40,864
come eat lunch and not always

3981
02:21:40,864 --> 02:21:41,832
be in a rush. It would offer

3982
02:21:41,832 --> 02:21:43,832
several different cultural

3983
02:21:47,370 --> 02:21:50,374
foods. So. It's a great idea

3984
02:21:50,374 --> 02:21:54,574
and I hope you guys to 2 and.

02:30:56,827 --> 02:30:57,426
City Council. Thank you for

4191
02:30:57,426 --> 02:31:00,163
the time tonight. Enjoy this

4192
02:31:00,163 --> 02:31:00,697
session so far in the love

4193
02:31:00,697 --> 02:31:01,298
your city, especially the

4194
02:31:01,298 --> 02:31:03,698
economic development. By the

4195
02:31:05,135 --> 02:31:05,668
way, I love the the time to

4196
02:31:05,668 --> 02:31:06,236
just been celebrating the

4197
02:31:06,236 --> 02:31:06,870
success of your city in the

4198
02:31:06,870 --> 02:31:09,870
beginning. I enjoyed that very

4199
02:31:10,741 --> 02:31:12,643
much. Thank you for that. Of

4200
02:31:12,643 --> 02:31:14,178
that rig or a company that

4201
02:31:14,178 --> 02:31:14,712
does industrial development

4202
02:31:14,712 --> 02:31:15,279
and something working on

4203
02:31:15,279 --> 02:31:18,279
retail and we've done other

4204
02:31:18,682 --> 02:31:19,483
projects around the country.

4205
02:31:19,483 --> 02:31:20,500
We're here to request your

4206
02:31:20,500 --> 02:31:22,860
positive decision to return

4207
02:31:22,860 --> 02:31:25,860
the subject property to its

4208
02:31:25,689 --> 02:31:27,758
former industrial zoning so

4209
02:31:27,758 --> 02:31:28,726
that we can invest 80 million

4210
02:31:28,726 --> 02:31:29,894
dollars of new economic

4211
02:31:29,894 --> 02:31:30,895
development. 80 million

4212
02:31:30,895 --> 02:31:33,295
dollars. That's probably 40 or

4213
02:31:34,398 --> 02:31:35,640
so chick-fil-a's with a lot. A

4214
02:31:35,640 --> 02:31:37,935
higher paying jobs and frankly

4215
02:31:37,935 --> 02:31:39,604
a lot less traffic in the

4216
02:31:39,604 --> 02:31:40,137
area. So there 6 reasons why I

4217
02:31:40,137 --> 02:31:42,173
want to share with you. I

4218
02:31:42,173 --> 02:31:45,773
think you should look for this

4219
02:31:48,120 --> 02:31:49,413
rezoning one is the current

4220
02:31:49,413 --> 02:31:51,413
residential slightly economic

4221
02:31:53,217 --> 02:31:53,818
viable economically viable as

4222
02:31:53,818 --> 02:31:54,385
demonstrated low. It is on it

4223
02:31:54,385 --> 02:31:55,219
demonstrated the pitch for

4224
02:31:55,219 --> 02:31:56,287
years while he's on the lake.

4225
02:31:56,287 --> 02:31:58,890
It also comes with the fact

4226
02:31:58,890 --> 02:32:01,689
right the loop I 20 which is

4227
02:32:02,590 --> 02:32:02,594
undergoing massive

4228
02:32:02,594 --> 02:32:03,161
reconstruction right now,

4229
02:32:03,161 --> 02:32:05,561
which frankly invites more

4230
02:32:06,264 --> 02:32:09,264
industry use frankly, I'm kind

4231
02:32:11,602 --> 02:32:13,538
of deters residential

4232
02:32:13,538 --> 02:32:14,371
development. The second is the

4233
02:32:14,371 --> 02:32:15,500
industrial really is the

4234
02:32:15,500 --> 02:32:15,607
highest and best use, which is

4235
02:32:15,607 --> 02:32:18,700
economically viable for this

4236
02:32:20,111 --> 02:32:20,744
district. The 3rd is we're

4237
02:32:20,744 --> 02:32:21,345
actually going to reduce truck

4238
02:32:21,345 --> 02:32:23,745
traffic because what's there

4239
02:32:23,948 --> 02:32:24,548
now is of a lot of tractor

4240
02:32:24,548 --> 02:32:28,520
trailers to come off. You go

4241
02:32:28,520 --> 02:32:28,820
down. Well, burger Street in

4242
02:32:28,820 --> 02:32:29,354
Park. And we're going to put

4243
02:32:29,354 --> 02:32:31,754
buildings there and we're

4244
02:32:34,559 --> 02:32:35,460
going to increase the the

4245
02:32:35,460 --> 02:32:36,600
detection And so we're going

4246
02:32:36,600 --> 02:32:37,495
to prove martyr Street. We're

4247
02:32:37,495 --> 02:32:38,563
gonna make it safer. We're

4248
02:32:38,563 --> 02:32:39,197
going lay up. We're going make

4249
02:32:39,197 --> 02:32:41,597
more landscaping the neighbors

4250
02:32:43,568 --> 02:32:45,604
to just or North almost

4251
02:32:45,604 --> 02:32:46,237
unanimously support us. And of

4252
02:32:46,237 --> 02:32:46,871
course you can hear from a lot

4253
02:32:46,871 --> 02:32:47,806
of vocal objectors who are

4254
02:32:47,806 --> 02:32:48,373
from different parts of the

4255
02:32:48,373 --> 02:32:50,475
community very lastly, this

4256
02:32:50,475 --> 02:32:52,475
project will bring

4257
02:32:53,611 --> 02:32:54,645
approximately 20 to 25 million

4258
02:32:54,645 --> 02:32:55,747
dollars of tax revenue over

4259
02:32:55,747 --> 02:32:56,681
the next decade, most of which

4260
02:32:56,681 --> 02:32:57,282
will go to the school

4261
02:32:57,282 --> 02:32:57,883
district. Thank you. Our next

4262
02:32:57,883 --> 02:33:00,883
Carter is Dan Hayes followed

4263
02:33:08,794 --> 02:33:09,361
by Angela Norwood.

4264
02:33:09,361 --> 02:33:10,610
>> Good evening. My name is

4265
02:33:10,610 --> 02:33:13,610
Stan Hays of district 11. I

4266
02:33:13,932 --> 02:33:15,100
opposed zoning change for this

4267
02:33:15,100 --> 02:33:15,801
property. The scope of the

4268
02:33:15,801 --> 02:33:16,368
zoning case affects every one

4269
02:33:16,368 --> 02:33:19,368
of these 4 words who would

4270
02:33:19,671 --> 02:33:20,205
enjoy and lakeside view. Yes,

4271
02:33:20,205 --> 02:33:23,108
Fort Worth is blessed to

4272
02:33:23,108 --> 02:33:24,109
include the Western shoreline

4273
02:33:24,109 --> 02:33:24,643
Lake Arlington. The lake is an

4274
02:33:24,643 --> 02:33:27,430
important asset for water

4275
02:33:27,880 --> 02:33:28,681
supply and recreation. The

4276
02:33:28,681 --> 02:33:31,681
Arlington side of the lake

4277
02:33:31,684 --> 02:33:33,452
show cases this well, with the

4278
02:33:33,452 --> 02:33:34,219
golf course. 2 city parks

4279
02:33:34,219 --> 02:33:34,820
large homes on heavily wooded.

4280
02:33:34,820 --> 02:33:37,820
Lots with private docks down

4281
02:33:38,691 --> 02:33:41,393
to the water by contrast. Much

4282
02:33:41,393 --> 02:33:42,294
of the Fort Worth side of the

4283
02:33:42,294 --> 02:33:45,290
lake includes a power plant, 6

4284
02:33:45,290 --> 02:33:47,429
gas Wells warehouses, vehicle

4285
02:33:48,133 --> 02:33:49,168
yards and a small park with a

4286
02:33:49,168 --> 02:33:51,103
few amenities. The city of

4287
02:33:51,103 --> 02:33:51,737
Fort Worth has recognized the

4288
02:33:51,737 --> 02:33:54,640
disrespect for our side of the

4289
02:33:54,640 --> 02:33:55,507
wake from past short-sighted

4290
02:33:55,507 --> 02:33:56,108
decisions and has made efforts

4291
02:33:56,108 --> 02:33:58,543
to claw back some of the land

4292
02:33:58,543 --> 02:33:59,770
that's become available. If

4293
02:33:59,770 --> 02:34:02,770
you look at slide there,

4294
02:34:02,448 --> 02:34:05,448
you'll see that over a 175

4295
02:34:05,518 --> 02:34:06,486
acres have been purchased in

4296
02:34:06,486 --> 02:34:07,860
recent years to begin to patch

4297
02:34:07,860 --> 02:34:09,860
together something resembling

4298
02:34:10,857 --> 02:34:11,657
a proper shoreline. Meanwhile,

4299
02:34:11,657 --> 02:34:12,725
we have the Sony case which

4300
02:34:12,725 --> 02:34:13,326
runs completely counter to

4301
02:34:13,326 --> 02:34:16,326
those efforts to enhance our

4302
02:34:17,530 --> 02:34:18,131
side of the late as late as

4303
02:34:18,131 --> 02:34:21,131
2016. Most of the property in

4304
02:34:21,434 --> 02:34:22,350
this case was heavily wooded.

4305
02:34:22,350 --> 02:34:25,338
It was the new did for truck

4306
02:34:25,338 --> 02:34:25,905
parking creating the dusty

4307
02:34:25,905 --> 02:34:28,905
situation that now is being

4308
02:34:30,760 --> 02:34:30,877
supposedly remedy by rezoning

4309
02:34:30,877 --> 02:34:31,444
for light industrial and

4310
02:34:31,444 --> 02:34:32,450
essentially paving it over

4311
02:34:32,450 --> 02:34:35,450
with buildings and a parking

4312
02:34:35,547 --> 02:34:38,547
lot. Surely there are better

4313
02:34:38,684 --> 02:34:39,284
places to put a light

4314
02:34:39,284 --> 02:34:39,919
manufacturing facility, then

4315
02:34:39,919 --> 02:34:41,520
right on the lake on the shore

4316
02:34:41,520 --> 02:34:44,657
of the lake. I can't think of

4317
02:34:44,657 --> 02:34:48,257
a clear example of an improper

4318
02:34:48,560 --> 02:34:49,595
land use for lakeside

4319
02:34:49,595 --> 02:34:50,763
properties. Lakes are to be

4320
02:34:50,763 --> 02:34:51,364
treasured in any community and

4321
02:34:51,364 --> 02:34:52,966
that includes the only large

4322
02:34:52,966 --> 02:34:56,566
Lake and use for worse. Police

4323
02:34:59,720 --> 02:34:59,672
deny this with prejudice.

4324
02:34:59,672 --> 02:35:00,206
>> Our next speaker is Angela

4325
02:35:00,206 --> 02:35:02,206
Norwood followed Leticia

4326
02:35:10,117 --> 02:35:10,750
Wilbur.

4327
02:35:10,750 --> 02:35:11,384
>> Amen. I was and one on what

4328
02:35:11,384 --> 02:35:15,489
I am the PRESIDENT Of the car.

4329
02:35:15,489 --> 02:35:16,550
The high seas. I'm here

4330
02:35:16,550 --> 02:35:16,656
because I'm very passionate

4331
02:35:16,656 --> 02:35:20,856
about this area. I grew up in

4332
02:35:21,294 --> 02:35:22,162
this area.

4333
02:35:22,162 --> 02:35:22,896
>> And as they said as just

4334
02:35:22,896 --> 02:35:25,296
urban difference between the

4335
02:35:26,767 --> 02:35:26,967
footwork lakeside Inn lake

4336
02:35:26,967 --> 02:35:28,670
side.

4337
02:35:28,670 --> 02:35:30,337
>> On the phone or side. There

4338
02:35:30,337 --> 02:35:30,971
are 6 gas Wells electrical

4339
02:35:30,971 --> 02:35:35,771
plants and a lot me up and and

4340
02:35:36,143 --> 02:35:36,777
ash just sites. As the Niners

4341
02:35:36,777 --> 02:35:37,377
is obvious to me from several

4342
02:35:37,377 --> 02:35:40,377
research is that another and

4343
02:35:41,348 --> 02:35:41,749
Esther site. To Apple motion

4344
02:35:41,749 --> 02:35:42,216
and what can that

4345
02:35:42,216 --> 02:35:44,216
contamination of the

4346
02:35:46,687 --> 02:35:49,870
community. The gas creates

4347
02:35:51,258 --> 02:35:51,825
significant help community.

4348
02:35:51,825 --> 02:35:52,359
They add to the environment

4349
02:35:52,359 --> 02:35:55,359
pollution and the and to

4350
02:35:55,963 --> 02:35:56,564
reduce property value.

4351
02:35:56,564 --> 02:35:57,197
electrical plant. And I know

4352
02:35:57,197 --> 02:36:01,397
that for a fact because I live

4353
02:36:01,402 --> 02:36:02,200
on some and dry. It is very

4354
02:36:02,200 --> 02:36:05,200
noisy. It pollutes the it

4355
02:36:06,974 --> 02:36:07,675
petition. Vase happens to that

4356
02:36:07,675 --> 02:36:10,611
half such as asthma. Other

4357
02:36:10,611 --> 02:36:11,178
respiratory disease and heart

4358
02:36:11,178 --> 02:36:14,178
issues. It also reduces the

4359
02:36:15,383 --> 02:36:15,983
hollow that use as an

4360
02:36:15,983 --> 02:36:17,885
optimist. I would love to see

4361
02:36:17,885 --> 02:36:20,885
parks walk community. I would

4362
02:36:20,922 --> 02:36:23,922
love to see better of

4363
02:36:24,792 --> 02:36:26,260
amenities by the community.

4364
02:36:26,260 --> 02:36:26,861
Things that would have to

4365
02:36:26,861 --> 02:36:27,394
increase the home values over

4366
02:36:27,394 --> 02:36:30,394
there and reduce the air

4367
02:36:31,365 --> 02:36:31,999
pollution and the. That water

4368
02:36:31,999 --> 02:36:34,999
conditions over there. And for

4369
02:36:36,403 --> 02:36:36,804
these reasons. I. Opposing the

4370
02:36:36,804 --> 02:36:38,804
industrial site.

4371
02:36:41,776 --> 02:36:42,610
>> Thank you.

4372
02:36:42,610 --> 02:36:43,711
>> Our next speaker is Wilburn

4373
02:36:43,711 --> 02:36:47,311
fall that to meet Rick, a

4374
02:36:51,785 --> 02:36:53,621
Williams.

4375
02:36:53,621 --> 02:36:54,222
>> I good evening that he to

4376
02:36:54,222 --> 02:36:56,658
World War. And with echo high

4377
02:36:56,658 --> 02:36:57,258
step 6, 5, men to Coalition

4378
02:36:57,258 --> 02:37:00,258
and Fort Worth environment. A

4379
02:37:00,995 --> 02:37:01,596
coalition of communities and

4380
02:37:01,596 --> 02:37:04,432
we're going to ask you to be

4381
02:37:04,432 --> 02:37:07,680
not this prey to these. I did

4382
02:37:07,680 --> 02:37:10,939
go out look at the location in

4383
02:37:10,939 --> 02:37:11,506
this massive it takes up the

4384
02:37:11,506 --> 02:37:13,740
whole block and across the

4385
02:37:13,740 --> 02:37:13,675
street on one side, there's

4386
02:37:13,675 --> 02:37:16,750
residential properties and on

4387
02:37:18,613 --> 02:37:20,347
the backside. There's all into

4388
02:37:20,347 --> 02:37:22,651
the lake. And I know the

4389
02:37:22,651 --> 02:37:25,651
gentleman that spoke. He spoke

4390
02:37:26,655 --> 02:37:27,189
up the construction on 20 with

4391
02:37:27,189 --> 02:37:27,755
at this and given the to

4392
02:37:27,755 --> 02:37:30,155
continue to invest realize

4393
02:37:32,461 --> 02:37:34,763
area it is our unity open. The

4394
02:37:34,763 --> 02:37:37,163
industrialized. This is not

4395
02:37:38,990 --> 02:37:38,666
the opportunity. If the city

4396
02:37:38,666 --> 02:37:40,168
can take to post something

4397
02:37:40,168 --> 02:37:43,768
pass it to East forward. I

4398
02:37:43,905 --> 02:37:44,506
looked at him out all of the

4399
02:37:44,506 --> 02:37:48,106
good things in Fort Worth eat

4400
02:37:49,100 --> 02:37:50,746
the to the west, to the north.

4401
02:37:50,746 --> 02:37:53,746
There nothing in East Fort

4402
02:37:54,783 --> 02:37:57,152
Worth and it's There's nothing

4403
02:37:57,152 --> 02:37:57,786
that you can show to bring

4404
02:37:57,786 --> 02:37:59,822
people to the east forward and

4405
02:37:59,822 --> 02:38:03,459
say, hey, look at what we have

4406
02:38:03,459 --> 02:38:04,590
here because it's not invest

4407
02:38:04,590 --> 02:38:04,560
realized. So this is she out

4408
02:38:04,560 --> 02:38:06,795
opportunity to not his

4409
02:38:06,795 --> 02:38:09,598
footprint. It is. It's a post

4410
02:38:09,598 --> 02:38:11,998
something good the community.

4411
02:38:13,335 --> 02:38:14,369
There. It is a striking

4412
02:38:14,369 --> 02:38:14,970
difference between on it

4413
02:38:14,970 --> 02:38:15,604
inside info worked side. And

4414
02:38:15,604 --> 02:38:19,740
if you go to the all aside and

4415
02:38:19,740 --> 02:38:20,442
you look across the water. You

4416
02:38:20,442 --> 02:38:21,577
can actually look and see all

4417
02:38:21,577 --> 02:38:23,913
the trucks apparently they're

4418
02:38:23,913 --> 02:38:26,913
not to mention the pollution

4419
02:38:27,717 --> 02:38:29,451
and it does for station causes

4420
02:38:29,451 --> 02:38:32,555
and for me, I have a trucking

4421
02:38:32,555 --> 02:38:34,523
company behind my home. So I

4422
02:38:34,523 --> 02:38:36,250
am well aware of the

4423
02:38:36,250 --> 02:38:36,659
consistent in Kasten know it's

4424
02:38:36,659 --> 02:38:40,259
24 hours a day and they always

4425
02:38:40,496 --> 02:38:41,970
great the rooms once the

4426
02:38:41,970 --> 02:38:41,697
company. So there they make

4427
02:38:41,697 --> 02:38:44,333
their all rooms and then they

4428
02:38:44,333 --> 02:38:47,703
ask for more and more and more

4429
02:38:47,703 --> 02:38:48,738
and not just asking too,

4430
02:38:48,738 --> 02:38:49,305
behalf of both coalitions to

4431
02:38:49,305 --> 02:38:51,440
deny with free to do Thank

4432
02:38:51,440 --> 02:38:53,440
you.

4433
02:39:03,753 --> 02:39:06,153
To meet Rico Williams.

4434
02:39:08,257 --> 02:39:08,825
>> mayor and Council. My name

4435
02:39:08,825 --> 02:39:11,761
is the Williams and I'm an

4436
02:39:11,761 --> 02:39:12,394
investment property owner of

4437
02:39:12,394 --> 02:39:15,980
19 years and a business owner.

4438
02:39:15,980 --> 02:39:15,631
All power, all parcels

4439
02:39:15,631 --> 02:39:18,631
actually within a mile of

4440
02:39:21,438 --> 02:39:22,839
this. That property. Location.

4441
02:39:22,839 --> 02:39:23,373
I respectfully urge all of you

4442
02:39:23,373 --> 02:39:26,373
City Council to deny the

4443
02:39:26,610 --> 02:39:27,243
request zoning change.

4444
02:39:27,243 --> 02:39:29,546
Industrial buildings are often

4445
02:39:29,546 --> 02:39:31,114
placed in or near minority and

4446
02:39:31,114 --> 02:39:33,114
low income communities

4447
02:39:35,952 --> 02:39:37,254
companies such as this come

4448
02:39:37,254 --> 02:39:37,888
in. These areas due to lower

4449
02:39:37,888 --> 02:39:38,487
land costs in assumption that

4450
02:39:38,487 --> 02:39:40,490
these communities are willing

4451
02:39:40,490 --> 02:39:41,230
to accept the negative impacts

4452
02:39:41,230 --> 02:39:43,423
that come with industrial

4453
02:39:44,494 --> 02:39:45,610
activities. Continually making

4454
02:39:45,610 --> 02:39:47,663
a-listers are of a place to

4455
02:39:47,663 --> 02:39:49,399
live and play and limiting

4456
02:39:49,399 --> 02:39:51,534
upward growth and mobility.

4457
02:39:51,534 --> 02:39:54,534
The quality of life and

4458
02:39:55,672 --> 02:39:56,240
neighborhood character.

4459
02:39:56,240 --> 02:39:58,240
Industrial activity brings

4460
02:39:59,509 --> 02:40:00,911
round the clock impact

4461
02:40:00,911 --> 02:40:01,979
trucking industry traffic and

4462
02:40:01,979 --> 02:40:03,347
industrial operation activity.

4463
02:40:03,347 --> 02:40:03,847
This is not consistent with

4464
02:40:03,847 --> 02:40:05,847
residential Lake front

4465
02:40:09,520 --> 02:40:10,120
community. That's a lakefront.

4466
02:40:10,120 --> 02:40:12,120
Industrial developments like

4467
02:40:13,657 --> 02:40:15,625
this near or on Lake but

4468
02:40:15,625 --> 02:40:18,328
property of this scale raises

4469
02:40:18,328 --> 02:40:18,962
real questions of potential in

4470
02:40:18,962 --> 02:40:21,362
uncertain risk involving storm

4471
02:40:21,865 --> 02:40:22,432
water run off air pollution

4472
02:40:22,432 --> 02:40:24,301
and large long-term risk of

4473
02:40:24,301 --> 02:40:26,701
Lake water quality uncertainty

4474
02:40:29,672 --> 02:40:30,107
around. Air quality water

4475
02:40:30,107 --> 02:40:32,107
contamination also

4476
02:40:34,311 --> 02:40:35,913
contamination impacts. On a

4477
02:40:35,913 --> 02:40:36,680
more personal note, this

4478
02:40:36,680 --> 02:40:39,800
zoning change can depress

4479
02:40:39,417 --> 02:40:42,417
property values that are home

4480
02:40:42,986 --> 02:40:43,454
investment and future limit

4481
02:40:43,454 --> 02:40:44,210
upward mobility in a

4482
02:40:44,210 --> 02:40:46,210
neighborhood that deserves

4483
02:40:48,693 --> 02:40:50,428
reinvestment and respect. I

4484
02:40:50,428 --> 02:40:50,994
asked Council to consider this

4485
02:40:50,994 --> 02:40:52,763
compare this side Arlington

4486
02:40:52,763 --> 02:40:55,700
Lake to the other side and

4487
02:40:55,700 --> 02:40:57,401
they're start. There's a stark

4488
02:40:57,401 --> 02:40:58,200
difference. 3,000 to 8,000

4489
02:40:58,200 --> 02:41:00,204
square-foot homes with Botox

4490
02:41:00,204 --> 02:41:02,540
in beautiful Lake views owning

4491
02:41:02,540 --> 02:41:04,940
a little under 22 acres.

4492
02:41:08,712 --> 02:41:09,313
Myself purses.

4493
02:41:09,313 --> 02:41:09,881
>> I'm Thank you. Thank you,

4494
02:41:09,881 --> 02:41:10,515
councilmember people say is

4495
02:41:10,515 --> 02:41:13,515
the conclusion of our speakers

4496
02:41:16,988 --> 02:41:17,588
this evening on this item.

4497
02:41:17,588 --> 02:41:19,988
>> To speak tonight. Whether

4498
02:41:20,225 --> 02:41:23,825
you for or against and so

4499
02:41:23,962 --> 02:41:26,962
mayor and Council. My office

4500
02:41:27,665 --> 02:41:29,133
heard from many long-term

4501
02:41:29,133 --> 02:41:29,701
residents to recently moved

4502
02:41:29,701 --> 02:41:31,669
families and small business

4503
02:41:31,669 --> 02:41:34,690
owners to posted this

4504
02:41:35,607 --> 02:41:37,108
development. The e-mail

4505
02:41:37,108 --> 02:41:38,142
telephone and at community

4506
02:41:38,142 --> 02:41:38,743
events I attended including

4507
02:41:38,743 --> 02:41:41,143
churches through the holidays

4508
02:41:43,281 --> 02:41:44,849
today. Many of these residents

4509
02:41:44,849 --> 02:41:45,450
could not attend in person,

4510
02:41:45,450 --> 02:41:48,450
but more than 50 reached out

4511
02:41:50,121 --> 02:41:51,189
to my team and the district 5

4512
02:41:51,189 --> 02:41:53,589
office. Some personal comments

4513
02:41:55,127 --> 02:41:55,760
for our residents range from

4514
02:41:55,760 --> 02:41:56,328
police take measures to mimic

4515
02:41:56,328 --> 02:41:58,728
Arlington's approach to the

4516
02:41:59,898 --> 02:42:02,298
lake instead. Stop degrading

4517
02:42:03,635 --> 02:42:04,102
the natural area with

4518
02:42:04,102 --> 02:42:06,102
industrial uses like

4519
02:42:06,438 --> 02:42:07,390
warehouses vehicle, yards and

4520
02:42:07,390 --> 02:42:10,639
gas Wales and stop duck being

4521
02:42:11,610 --> 02:42:14,880
and I neighborhood. But no one

4522
02:42:14,880 --> 02:42:17,280
was more persistent are

4523
02:42:18,417 --> 02:42:20,486
passionate are impactful. Then

4524
02:42:20,486 --> 02:42:23,486
an amazing resident who lives

4525
02:42:24,623 --> 02:42:27,623
across from that site. Joe

4526
02:42:28,590 --> 02:42:28,660
Allen Matthews who came

4527
02:42:28,660 --> 02:42:28,794
tonight with her service dog

4528
02:42:28,794 --> 02:42:28,891
s#

4529
02:42:28,891 --> 02:42:28,991
#

4530
02:42:28,991 --> 02:42:29,880
#

4531
02:42:29,880 --> 02:42:31,880
#

4532
02:42:34,332 --> 02:42:37,332
. To tell us that she

4533
02:42:38,570 --> 02:42:42,770
said. I live here and I don't

4534
02:42:44,343 --> 02:42:48,543
want to Joe Allen. It is your

4535
02:42:48,581 --> 02:42:49,715
passion and your persistence

4536
02:42:49,715 --> 02:42:50,583
that and the fact that you

4537
02:42:50,583 --> 02:42:53,583
live right across from that

4538
02:42:55,553 --> 02:42:58,624
site. That leads me to agree

4539
02:42:58,624 --> 02:43:01,240
with zoning commissions denial

4540
02:43:04,263 --> 02:43:04,797
of this project and reject

4541
02:43:04,797 --> 02:43:06,797
industrial proposals that

4542
02:43:08,901 --> 02:43:09,502
threaten a lake Arlington. I

4543
02:43:09,502 --> 02:43:12,502
support high quality of life.

4544
02:43:13,172 --> 02:43:13,589
For all residents and I want

4545
02:43:13,589 --> 02:43:13,695
you and s#

4546
02:43:13,695 --> 02:43:13,797
#

4547
02:43:13,797 --> 02:43:13,906
#

4548
02:43:13,906 --> 02:43:15,906
#

4549
02:43:17,877 --> 02:43:18,677
to know that the

4550
02:43:18,677 --> 02:43:21,770
40 something years stead you

4551
02:43:23,716 --> 02:43:26,518
have lived in that site Mahar

4552
02:43:26,518 --> 02:43:27,860
to me add her to the rest of

4553
02:43:27,860 --> 02:43:29,856
the residents. So mayor, I

4554
02:43:29,856 --> 02:43:31,891
move to approve that we

4555
02:43:31,891 --> 02:43:34,891
approve the denial of this

4556
02:43:35,928 --> 02:43:36,562
site.

4557
02:43:36,562 --> 02:43:37,697
>> Ocean tonight. And a second

4558
02:43:37,697 --> 02:43:40,970
Council. Any other discussion.

4559
02:43:43,855 --> 02:43:46,255
Please vote. Motion carries.

4560
02:43:49,509 --> 02:43:51,509
Thank you.

4561
02:43:51,511 --> 02:43:52,770
>> Next will be zc dash 2, 5,

4562
02:43:52,770 --> 02:43:54,770
dash 1, 9, to councilmember

4563
02:43:55,515 --> 02:43:59,115
back. And a motion. A second

4564
02:44:04,991 --> 02:44:05,592
Council, please vote. Motion

4565
02:44:05,592 --> 02:44:07,270
carries next is in Muncie. 25

4566
02:44:07,270 --> 02:44:09,427
dash 1 one to 4 member

4567
02:44:13,233 --> 02:44:14,101
peoples. So

4568
02:44:14,101 --> 02:44:17,701
>> On this. We moved it from

4569
02:44:18,438 --> 02:44:19,172
the last time because I wanted

4570
02:44:19,172 --> 02:44:19,640
it I wanted to give me a

4571
02:44:19,640 --> 02:44:22,400
chance to visit with

4572
02:44:26,313 --> 02:44:27,381
everybody. And so. I want to

4573
02:44:27,381 --> 02:44:29,781
move to approve 50% tax

4574
02:44:31,117 --> 02:44:32,419
exemption requested and so

4575
02:44:32,419 --> 02:44:35,419
mayor and Council, I support

4576
02:44:36,523 --> 02:44:37,240
this because it maintains and

4577
02:44:37,240 --> 02:44:39,240
rehabilitates critical

4578
02:44:41,195 --> 02:44:43,297
affordable housing stock in

4579
02:44:43,297 --> 02:44:44,864
district 5, I believe that

4580
02:44:44,864 --> 02:44:46,667
supporting such projects is

4581
02:44:46,667 --> 02:44:47,234
essential for the city's

4582
02:44:47,234 --> 02:44:50,234
long-term Hill and work for

4583
02:44:51,500 --> 02:44:53,405
stability. I have personally

4584
02:44:55,209 --> 02:44:55,843
visited this community and the

4585
02:44:55,843 --> 02:44:58,843
developer has stated they will

4586
02:44:59,647 --> 02:45:00,214
work on major improvements

4587
02:45:00,214 --> 02:45:03,214
that are needed to increase

4588
02:45:03,819 --> 02:45:04,451
the quality of life for the

4589
02:45:04,451 --> 02:45:06,453
residents. It's in a great

4590
02:45:06,453 --> 02:45:09,453
location with access to bus

4591
02:45:10,324 --> 02:45:10,825
routes for ease of

4592
02:45:10,825 --> 02:45:12,825
transportation is ada

4593
02:45:14,610 --> 02:45:15,996
compliant and has great access

4594
02:45:15,996 --> 02:45:17,698
to schools. It's a quality

4595
02:45:17,698 --> 02:45:18,398
property with a great location

4596
02:45:18,398 --> 02:45:20,534
it has access to freeways in

4597
02:45:20,534 --> 02:45:24,134
the ability to travel to jobs

4598
02:45:25,106 --> 02:45:25,606
in the Metroplex. I believe

4599
02:45:25,606 --> 02:45:28,600
it's beneficial to the

4600
02:45:28,242 --> 02:45:30,378
district and the city of Fort

4601
02:45:30,378 --> 02:45:32,980
Worth and ask that you support

4602
02:45:32,980 --> 02:45:35,450
it. Because the housing stock

4603
02:45:35,450 --> 02:45:38,118
is needed. I supported this

4604
02:45:38,118 --> 02:45:38,719
year and vote is only for one

4605
02:45:38,719 --> 02:45:42,319
year. They have to come back

4606
02:45:43,224 --> 02:45:45,193
again next year. Therefore I

4607
02:45:45,193 --> 02:45:45,726
move to approve the 50% tax

4608
02:45:45,726 --> 02:45:48,726
exemption as you read, as

4609
02:45:51,990 --> 02:45:53,990
requested.

4610
02:45:55,270 --> 02:45:58,270
>> Move to approve. To deny

4611
02:46:01,309 --> 02:46:01,809
the denial. You're moving to

4612
02:46:01,809 --> 02:46:04,209
denied the denial which

4613
02:46:05,790 --> 02:46:05,680
ultimately will approve.

4614
02:46:05,680 --> 02:46:08,800
>> Don't get 2511 25 Mayor, I

4615
02:46:11,419 --> 02:46:11,919
hope will to. Approve to deny

4616
02:46:11,919 --> 02:46:14,319
that denial which would

4617
02:46:17,359 --> 02:46:18,559
approve the 50%.

4618
02:46:18,559 --> 02:46:21,229
>> Hughley and you tell just

4619
02:46:21,229 --> 02:46:23,365
stop. Know, she's gotten

4620
02:46:23,365 --> 02:46:26,301
issues Jeannette will stand up

4621
02:46:26,301 --> 02:46:27,135
to 50% tax exception as

4622
02:46:27,135 --> 02:46:29,204
request. We're good, we're for

4623
02:46:29,204 --> 02:46:29,871
okay. Item. Okay. Got a motion

4624

to the entire city of for our

for our entire city. As I

4775
02:51:51,297 --> 02:51:53,697
joked at his beautiful

4776
02:51:54,133 --> 02:51:55,368
service. He was a glutton for

4777
02:51:55,368 --> 02:51:57,768
punishment because he served

4778
02:51:58,171 --> 02:51:59,171
on this Dyess twice. He served

4779
02:51:59,171 --> 02:52:02,171
in 1998 to 2004 and again from

4780
02:52:02,808 --> 02:52:03,376
2007 to 2013 he called he went

4781
02:52:03,376 --> 02:52:06,376
when someone called him for

4782
02:52:06,646 --> 02:52:07,246
service, he answered during

4783
02:52:07,246 --> 02:52:09,815
his time as a councilmember,

4784
02:52:09,815 --> 02:52:10,716
he had so many different

4785
02:52:10,716 --> 02:52:11,284
accomplishments. But

4786
02:52:11,284 --> 02:52:11,917
importantly, he championed

4787
02:52:11,917 --> 02:52:12,452
neighborhood redevelopment

4788
02:52:12,452 --> 02:52:14,452
revitalization and public

4789
02:52:17,256 --> 02:52:18,924
safety. Many in the stream and

4790
02:52:18,924 --> 02:52:21,940
on this Dyess, we're blessed

4791
02:52:21,940 --> 02:52:21,994
to call mr Moss a friend and a

4792
02:52:21,994 --> 02:52:24,994
mentor. His impact has truly

4793
02:52:25,565 --> 02:52:26,132
reached far and wide and forth

4794
02:52:26,132 --> 02:52:29,132
is better because of MISTER

4795
02:52:29,569 --> 02:52:30,503
Frank Moss, senior and to my

4796
02:52:30,503 --> 02:52:32,538
council members, we will

4797
02:52:32,538 --> 02:52:33,272
invite the family to come and

4798
02:52:33,272 --> 02:52:35,542
be recognized an appropriate

4799

4800
02:52:36,241 --> 02:52:36,842
are people's office to

4801
02:52:36,842 --> 02:52:37,377
organize that. But I thought

4802
02:52:37,377 --> 02:52:38,100
this was important not to

4803
02:52:38,100 --> 02:52:41,100

02:52:53,159 --> 02:52:55,559
