[2:26] Isolation.

[2:31] >> Moving on to inform reports.

[2:32] The first report we have is

[2:36] development activity report

[2:39] for OCTOBER.

[2:40] Order of OCTOBER dj. Her

[2:43] relatively he's not here today.

[2:47] Jaelynn he is here. I changed

[2:47] it up on me. Dj Hero from

[2:50] Development Services. Here to

[2:55] answer any questions.

[2:55] Next report is proposed

[2:56] contract or accountability

[2:59] process. Again, the Jays here

[2:59] to answer any questions.

[3:02] Councilor back. I have a couple

[3:04] of questions. T j.

[3:05] >> Wire and make your way to

[3:09] the podium. Thank you so much

[3:10] for for putting this

[3:11] program together. And in

[3:13] response to some bad actors we

[3:14] had. So thank you for the work

[3:14] that you've done. I think it's

[3:17] pretty well fleshed out.

[3:23] I have one question. So we

[3:24] Process we have now is that if

[3:28] they have are we will have as a

[3:31] result of this. If a contractor

[3:33] has 3 violations and a 12 month

[3:34] period. And so the only thing

[3:35] I'm concerned about our

[3:37] question I have is is that 12

[3:39] month period long enough like

[3:41] realistically speaking right,

[3:44] houses are building projects,

[3:45] take a long time. So should

[3:45] that be 24 months, right?

[3:47] Like how realistically, how

[3:50] often are people committing

[3:51] that?

[3:54] Good Morning. Mary Council dj.

[3:55] Real Development Services.

[3:57] >> Thank you for that question.

[3:58] I think we looked at 12 months

[4:01] because we thought, you know,

[4:02] as a contractor being.

[4:03] Not not being able to do

[4:06] construction in the city of

[4:07] Fort Worth.

[4:09] A 12 month cycle. It's a pretty

[4:10] big deal to. Oh, no, I'm ok

[4:10] with them. Ok with the

[4:13] punishment? Pierre, I'm talking

[4:14] about the look-back period that

[4:15] we have. So right now it's as

[4:19] if they commit 3 violations in

[4:19] a 12 month period. And so.

[4:22] >> It does. Is that long enough

[4:22] to capture are habitual

[4:24] violators? I guess my question

[4:24] is if I pull a permit for

[4:26] project one and I have been to

[4:30] a violator on that, you know

[4:31] that once I have one or 2 and

[4:32] then my next project because

[4:34] construction takes while is

[4:37] 13 months. And then I I do the

[4:40] same thing.

[4:42] Time limited ourselves out of

[4:45] what we know is a habitual

[4:45] violator. They just don't.

[4:48] Pull permits as maybe as

[4:48] regularly as other people as

[4:51] men. We can certainly look at

[4:52] 24 months.

[4:54] In general. Our development

[4:56] community is that if the city

[4:57] of Fort Worth is pretty

[4:59] familiar, Generally the folks

[5:00] that do work without a permit

[5:01] or cover of work without

[5:03] getting inspections are folks

[5:04] that.

[5:05] >> Kind of fly by night

[5:08] generally don't see him as

[5:09] frequent fliers. Okay. However,

[5:11] we can certainly look at the 24

[5:12] months. If that's.

[5:15] >> If you could just maybe go

[5:17] back and look at if we would

[5:19] have repeat offenders and what

[5:21] that looks like, right? Is it a

[5:22] single job that they tend to be

[5:23] repeat offenders on? So you get

[5:24] the 3? They're not that I'm

[5:24] trying to get people, but I'm

[5:29] really worried about folks.

[5:34] Doing some.

[5:34] Jack Curry on one. Project and

[5:37] then coming in a little later

[5:37] and do it again. And so I just

[5:38] want to make sure we're

[5:41] capturing as bad folks. That's

[5:43] all.

[5:44] The person that to me is

[5:44] Rachel. Okay. Her name is

[5:47] Rachel Perry says she's in a

[5:48] room building official.

[5:49] >> Hey, good morning, mayor

[5:52] and council. I want to add some

[5:53] context on there. A lot of the

[5:55] violators that we see have to

[5:56] do with single home as a family

[5:59] renovations and they'll hit

[6:01] multiple homes along several

[6:04] areas at the same time. And so

[6:04] to most.

[6:07] Prevalent violators are a lot

[6:09] of times these flippers.

[6:11] Okay, that are happening and we

[6:11] is I think most of them would

[6:14] be caught in that well. But but

[6:15] again, we can look at the 20,

[6:16] okay. That's fine. I just want

[6:17] it. That was my only concern in

[6:18] all this is that that period

[6:18] was on it that we really catch

[6:19] the people. But if you think

[6:22] that it's sufficient, that's

[6:22] why.

[6:26] >> All right. Thank you to see

[6:27] if there got a thank you

[6:29] councilmember I think you

[6:30] brought this up. So thanks for

[6:30] asking for this ir. One thing I

[6:33] think it might be helpful

[6:34] feeding on what? Yes, cuz, how

[6:36] pervasive is this problem

[6:36] already that we know about some

[6:38] report back to us about maybe

[6:39] of some of the single-family

[6:41] actors? I can think about what

[6:42] that looks like. But that might

[6:46] help help us or public know how

[6:46] pervasive that is. If that

[6:47] maybe they're buying homes from

[6:49] these people, etc. Want to know

[6:50] those are the questions you

[6:51] normally ask when you're buying

[6:52] a home that they get all their

[6:55] permits, et cetera, that might

[6:56] help us with that. And

[6:56] certainly there's a lot of to

[6:58] be honest, there's a lot of

[6:59] construction that happens.

[7:02] >> Without a permit that we

[7:03] never even know about.

[7:04] You know what we generally the

[7:06] way we generally find out about

[7:08] it is they've constructed in

[7:08] such a manner that is in

[7:09] violation, the coders too close

[7:12] to somebody. Monday, though,

[7:14] says House or too close to the

[7:15] street or something that brings

[7:17] in a neighbor's attention and

[7:18] they reach out to us and they

[7:19] report the violation either

[7:20] through a sewer through code

[7:23] enforcement. But, you know,

[7:26] generally.

[7:27] Generally speaking, there's a

[7:29] good deal of construction that

[7:30] happens without a permit.

[7:31] And unfortunately, we can only

[7:34] hold the people accountable

[7:34] when we know that. I think all

[7:35] we're asking. But just more

[7:35] that transparency piece to.

[7:39] So we know.

[7:41] >> Leading into that. At what

[7:42] point are we notified that MAY

[7:43] be a process of moving forward

[7:44] like you have a process in

[7:44] here. That council notified

[7:45] that there's properties within

[7:50] the district that you're

[7:51] looking at. We don't currently,

[7:52] but we would think about the

[7:54] private I would think about

[7:55] adding something. So we're

[7:57] aware as we hear things maybe

[7:58] from neighbors, et cetera, that

[8:02] houses just think about that

[8:03] piece of it, too. And then the

[8:03] kind of final question, it says

[8:04] appeals are heard by the

[8:05] Construction and Fire

[8:06] Prevention Board of Appeals who

[8:07] makes up that committee and

[8:12] how are they pointed to it?

[8:13] I heard of it. So

[8:14] that's why.

[8:15] >> No, that's fine. So I'm

[8:15] going to touch a little bit

[8:17] on the prevalence see of this.

[8:19] I'm gonna go back a couple

[8:20] questions. So on average we

[8:24] have 150 complaints give or

[8:26] take a year for work without

[8:27] permits. About 70% of those

[8:30] come through the system.

[8:30] So they're directly

[8:31] from citizens.

[8:31] >> We can get you more numbers

[8:34] on single-family specifically.

[8:40] And then the Board of Appeals

[8:42] is made up of specialized

[8:43] industry professional. So we

[8:45] have people who are licensed

[8:47] electricians, mechanical.

[8:50] I mean, structural all of that

[8:52] so that we have a right of wide

[8:53] variety of people that are

[8:54] addressing any of the pills

[8:55] that come in. So we have

[8:57] specialized ones, for example,

[8:59] we have a plumbing contractor

[9:00] that's doing work without

[9:00] permits can with specialized

[9:01] knowledge of everything that is

[9:03] entailed in these planning

[9:06] processes. That sounds like

[9:07] subject matter experts exactly.

[9:07] >> Nguyen who appoints those

[9:10] how they get on to that board.

[9:15] They're generally a point by

[9:19] the by myself, the director

[9:19] of Development services.

[9:20] But through a process we know

[9:22] with legal and city secretary's

[9:26] office. That and everything is

[9:28] part of that process.

[9:29] >> Sorry, just just a moment of

[9:32] clarification there actually

[9:35] appointed by this body.

[9:38] I believe, folks, JULY and they

[9:40] come to the council for a perk.

[9:45] Have a question for dj. Also.

[9:49] >> All right. A j and you'll

[9:52] hear it. Great job. Putting

[9:52] this process together. But I

[9:53] I I I'm you know, being you

[9:55] have had discussions. I think

[9:57] we also really need to look at.

[9:57] >> Zoning accountability

[9:59] process because there's a lot

[10:02] of folks that are approved for

[10:03] cops are site plans they never

[10:03] follow through. They drag their

[10:07] feet. And so I'd like to see

[10:11] that. Also being work.

[10:13] Your questions for dj.

[10:14] Thanks, Jay.

[10:15] >> The next report is a

[10:17] proposed council initiated

[10:18] zoning changes an update.

[10:19] On the Panther Island formed

[10:23] based code. Counselor for us.

[10:27] Thank you very much. I don't

[10:28] really have questions, but I

[10:29] would like staff to come up

[10:30] and kind of give us an overview

[10:33] of it because I think this is a

[10:34] very important step.

[10:36] >> Recently, we re envision the

[10:40] current vision. Then the

[10:40] Panther Island project and

[10:42] subsequently now we're doing

[10:45] something more substantive,

[10:45] right? We're a deeper dive into

[10:48] it. When we're looking at the

[10:51] foreign based code and doing a

[10:52] you know, look at it. Doing

[10:55] council initiate rezoning in

[10:56] order to have, you know, some

[10:58] intentional and orderly

[10:58] development coming there.

[11:02] So if you could speak to them

[11:02] and appreciate it.

[11:03] >> All right. Good morning.

[11:04] Mayor Council city manager

[11:07] Francisco Vega with Development

[11:10] Services.

[11:12] >> Yeah, absolutely. As Kuz

[11:13] member Florida Mansion and 2020

[11:16] Florida City and the regional

[11:18] partners.

[11:20] >> Completed the Padre Island

[11:20] Nation. 2 point oh, which

[11:23] essentially is an update to the

[11:26] 2004 drain to Weaver patient.

[11:30] And in this document, there is

[11:31] an analysis of the current

[11:32] conditions of the district and

[11:34] that are several

[11:34] recommendations about how to

[11:35] prep her for the future

[11:39] development of the district.

[11:40] One of those recommendations is

[11:40] abating the forum based code.

[11:43] And that's the step where we

[11:47] are currently right now.

[11:48] Some of the key provisions to

[11:50] the districts reducing. The

[11:51] number of some districts been

[11:51] drawn is is not just one

[11:54] district, but his 9

[11:55] subdistricts.

[11:58] And we're resolute seeing that

[12:01] from 9 to just 2 subdistricts

[12:02] would. Now we're calling the

[12:02] Pender Island Corps and the

[12:05] Pender Island age they with

[12:05] this is to reorganize the

[12:08] vision for the district in the

[12:09] general over that way.

[12:12] And so the Pender Island core

[12:13] area will have a specific

[12:14] design relations because they

[12:16] the end intention is to have a

[12:18] higher and then answer

[12:19] development. There. And the

[12:22] more you get closer to the

[12:23] river, the intention is to have

[12:24] a more open space. Top of the

[12:25] development with Pro-Trump, for

[12:29] example, some restaurants were

[12:32] commercial activity. So there

[12:32] we were a boundary gets I

[12:36] debated and also with these of

[12:39] the date, the new way to see in

[12:39] the district will have it will

[12:42] act as a transition, for

[12:43] example, from that poor area,

[12:44] which again will have several

[12:47] development with these. Let's

[12:49] dance and they connect with the

[12:52] downtown district. On this out

[12:54] and the larger skill they da's

[12:55] that weakening near South side

[12:57] wouldn't come district with 100

[13:00] London then would start yours.

[13:04] Some of other provisions that

[13:06] we are proposing is a

[13:08] the resigning of this property.

[13:08] Is they is that can we move

[13:11] from 9 some districts to just

[13:14] 2?

[13:15] The current code 8 includes at

[13:19] non permitted use table which

[13:19] is not something that we see

[13:20] traditionally him from his

[13:20] kids. So that's one of those

[13:24] things that that's complexity

[13:26] for development because it

[13:27] opens the door interpretation,

[13:28] for example, essentially the

[13:30] table says of whatever is not

[13:34] included on the table. The

[13:37] sellout. So that will sound a

[13:38] little bit contradictory for

[13:39] developments. The developers

[13:39] because there is actually

[13:42] occurring at Temple and the

[13:43] general zoning ordinance.

[13:46] And with these of that, we are

[13:46] removing the table in adding

[13:47] permeated his table that we

[13:48] just leave all the uses that

[13:52] are going to be allowed on the

[13:54] core area. And on the age,

[13:54] these will make development.

[13:58] In general the interpretation

[14:01] of the code easier where also

[14:01] adopting at regulating plan and

[14:02] this plan identifies different

[14:05] streets that we call type a and

[14:08] type b and also water frontage.

[14:09] So essentially the pending on

[14:11] where development is going to

[14:12] be located. They will have a

[14:15] new sign regulations for that

[14:15] type of development. And that's

[14:18] that's in general, like a key

[14:18] overbey of these review and

[14:21] why they're resigning is

[14:24] needed.

[14:31] Directed Exhibit b, that's in

[14:33] our packet here that will cover

[14:34] the Orange Boundary waterway.

[14:37] >> And street areas and Panther

[14:40] Island that are going to be

[14:41] included in this update.

[14:45] Thanks for system. Thank you.

[14:50] The next report is the one 26

[14:51] recommended interest income

[14:52] allocation.

[14:53] >> Brady, Kurd from the forward

[14:54] Lab and Katy Perry from

[14:57] financial management is here to

[15:00] answer any questions.

[15:06] Next is the mid-year update for

[15:07] residential solid waste

[15:07] collection. Jim Keyes will from

[15:08] Byron Mental services is here

[15:11] to answer any questions.

[15:15] >> Any questions for Jen?

[15:18] >> Next, a proposed updates of

[15:20] the Fort Worth City Code

[15:21] Chapter 12.5 in my own

[15:21] protection and compliance and

[15:22] Cody DR. Cody Wooden Bird is

[15:25] here to answer any questions.

[15:30] Yeah. Kuzma Graham backing up

[15:31] for just a second on the waste

[15:33] collection. I think that column

[15:34] is really great.

[15:35] >> But I know that Jim and his

[15:37] team has made great strides

[15:38] and I have any questions.

[15:39] Cody, anybody, but I think a

[15:41] column there, too, that says

[15:42] total collections for the

[15:44] entire city might help. People

[15:44] also understand that only

[15:47] missing 2000 over the numbers

[15:48] that they collect. He's a

[15:49] pretty good number. There's

[15:51] obviously percentage. They're a

[15:51] million or whatever. Yeah.

[15:52] So I think that might tell our

[15:54] story that they've done a great

[15:55] job of closing that gap from

[15:56] what we had a year 2 years ago

[15:59] that started all this good

[16:02] idea.

[16:05] >> In the last formal report,

[16:06] updates to the committee center

[16:07] facility Master Plan and

[16:08] Aquatics Master plan for Dave

[16:10] Lewis. Parks is here to answer

[16:12] any questions. If we could just

[16:15] get a problem. They've here

[16:18] come up.

[16:29] Good morning, Mayor and Council

[16:32] de Lis truck to the park and

[16:34] Recreation Department.

[16:35] >> So we started these 2

[16:36] studies about a year ago.

[16:39] We issued an rfp and Dunaway

[16:39] was awarded the project in

[16:41] because they're very similar

[16:43] studies with a little different

[16:43] outcomes. Slightly different

[16:45] process to have one company

[16:49] kind of lead us through both

[16:49] efforts starting with the

[16:51] community Center master plan

[16:52] intention was to do a full

[16:53] facility study of all the

[16:54] facilities have right now,

[16:55] which includes or mechanical

[16:57] engineering, plumbing systems,

[16:58] the size and shape of the

[16:59] building. And then really the

[17:02] current user ship Powell of the

[17:03] facilities being used with the

[17:06] ultimate intention to help us

[17:06] create a roadmap when we would

[17:08] build a new facility in the

[17:09] gaps that have been identified

[17:09] in service. That parts of

[17:12] county currently aren't served

[17:14] by community center as well

[17:14] as identify current community

[17:15] centers that need to be

[17:18] renovated or some other process

[17:19] done with them. And then

[17:20] ultimately decide the priority

[17:20] between those 2. When should we

[17:24] build a new one versus when

[17:25] to renovate current ones?

[17:26] As you probably recall, the

[17:28] newest one is Better Press

[17:29] community center, highly

[17:30] successful before that was

[17:32] Diamond Hill. 2 examples.

[17:32] One of them is identifying a

[17:33] gap building in the center.

[17:36] The other one is identifying.

[17:40] Excuse current facility that

[17:41] needed to be replaced. So

[17:42] really creating road map.

[17:43] So we're very strategic and

[17:43] data-driven with how we

[17:47] prioritize building new ones

[17:49] for says renovating existing

[17:52] ones. We did steady all what we

[17:52] would consider. 25 of our

[17:53] community centers, including

[17:54] House Athletic Center Rise

[17:55] Community Center. A couple Don

[17:56] Graves Community Center as

[17:58] well. So those are all included

[17:59] in the study. And when it's

[18:02] completed, we certainly will

[18:03] share those results and create

[18:06] that road map and will be the

[18:06] next bond project or other

[18:07] funding sources pop up that

[18:10] we would know what the next

[18:11] step is to do. It. Similarly on

[18:14] the aquatic masterplan want

[18:17] to do it. Facility said e.

[18:19] Excuse me on not only our own

[18:20] pools but alternative

[18:20] providers. I should also say

[18:21] that we've mapped alternative

[18:23] providers in the community

[18:23] center said he as well where

[18:24] the other ymca is where the

[18:27] other boys and girls clubs

[18:28] where the library's who also

[18:29] offer similar services because

[18:30] it's important to identify all

[18:32] those community facilities.

[18:35] But on the aquatic side, making

[18:36] sure mapping all the

[18:36] alternative providers. The

[18:37] question come up this weekend

[18:39] about pools and it was

[18:40] important to identify. Not only

[18:42] do we have to pull as we have.

[18:44] We have a 3rd in design.

[18:45] The 4th and North Sea bozin to

[18:48] go in and we have contracts

[18:53] with the ymca to allow.

[18:54] Struggling this morning to

[18:55] allow public access without

[18:55] having a membership at the same

[18:56] rates. And so it's really where

[18:58] we find those partnerships.

[19:00] And then where do we need to

[19:02] fill in the gaps in service

[19:02] with all kinds of aquatic

[19:04] facilities that we've really

[19:04] not considered in the past.

[19:05] Where do we need an indoor

[19:07] natatorium? Where do we need

[19:08] the seasonal outdoor pools or

[19:10] do we need splash pads and do

[19:10] we actually need like a more

[19:13] regional water park type

[19:14] facility as well? So again,

[19:14] once those findings are are

[19:17] completed, will certainly share

[19:23] those as well.

[19:24] Sorry, I just it.

[19:26] >> In this study, did it also

[19:27] and focus on areas that we have

[19:30] gaps in the area that I'm most

[19:31] concerned about is the West

[19:32] 7th downtown area that doesn't

[19:34] really have a community center

[19:35] and we see the population

[19:37] density rapidly increasing.

[19:41] So is it looking at where are

[19:42] community center deserts

[19:43] are maybe? Yeah, absolutely.

[19:43] That's a huge part of that

[19:44] Israeli identifying we know we

[19:47] have very large gaps in service

[19:48] for those.

[19:48] >> And that's where it

[19:49] alternative providers really

[19:49] come into play because there

[19:52] is a ymca there in the talk of

[19:52] a downtown library. It's up to

[19:56] us to get with the commute to

[19:56] figure out not just you need to

[19:58] come use and what services do

[19:59] you need that we can provide

[20:01] through alternative providers

[20:02] or our own city on Sunday as

[20:03] well? And is there I ice on the

[20:06] ir that you're expecting to get

[20:07] this to us by fall of this year

[20:08] sets right around. Think I'm

[20:11] right around the cool, much

[20:12] cooler corner.

[20:14] >> So and is it too late to

[20:15] have community input? Our

[20:17] engagement in this? Are we too

[20:18] far down the road or?

[20:19] >> We we have had some

[20:21] community engagement and really

[20:23] this is more of a data-driven.

[20:23] Where are the gaps

[20:27] geographically in the service

[20:28] races that be identified,

[20:28] really where we really engaged

[20:29] the community is one of the

[20:31] identified either renovation or

[20:32] a new facility to figure out

[20:32] what they need in their center

[20:38] in their area. Got it. Thank

[20:39] you. Yeah, just a preview.

[20:40] Maybe a preview for the park's

[20:42] port tomorrow. But do you have

[20:45] a timeline or thought to have

[20:46] an are not an update on those

[20:47] elbows already? Evans aquatic

[20:49] facility. We don't yet. I think

[20:50] you either getting a

[20:51] presentation today on the bond

[20:52] program. And so that's one of

[20:53] the ones that we're gonna lot.

[20:53] We're kind of front loading in

[20:54] the bond. So should be one of

[20:57] the first projects we launch.

[20:59] Thank you.

[20:59] >> Just one comment to tax your

[21:06] strained voice already. Dave

[21:09] just a couple. Mike's on.

[21:11] It's your stream. Could could

[21:12] you just give us a sentence or

[21:16] 2 about green print? I think

[21:17] that's very instructive to the

[21:17] public that we are receiving

[21:20] their input and incorporating

[21:22] it into what we're doing.

[21:23] >> Yeah. When we completed our

[21:25] green paint master plan last

[21:27] year, it did talk about needing

[21:28] to the studies. Really be more

[21:29] data-driven on then to connect

[21:30] with the community to

[21:31] understand their facility

[21:33] level. And as we work through

[21:35] some of the studies, that also

[21:36] helps our trust for public land

[21:36] score and some of the things

[21:37] that they look for from the

[21:38] community access perspective

[21:41] as well. All right. Thank you.

[21:49] >> As the end of our

[21:50] I ours. Are there any future

[21:54] agenda? She's not sure that

[21:54] we're not there yet. Any

[21:55] changes of coming in and seize

[21:55] memberships boards and

[21:58] commissions that you need to

[21:59] make the body aware of.

[22:00] Okay. Then we're going to move

[22:02] into our first presentations.

[22:02] We've got several

[22:03] representatives from dfw

[22:05] International Airport. We

[22:06] appreciate you being here this

[22:07] morning. I see one of our board

[22:10] members still burns here.

[22:10] And I know that for an Evans

[22:11] said me and actually called me

[22:14] this morning, tell me, could

[22:14] not be here in person. Brian,

[22:16] thank you very much for taking

[22:17] the time. I'm not sure camera

[22:20] few presented to this body yet

[22:20] in your capacity. I did back in

[22:23] APRIL and we all runs together

[22:24] cave area. Quick

[22:25] reintroduction, thank you.

[22:27] Appreciate it. Mayor Parker

[22:28] members of City Council.

[22:29] >> As she mentioned, that

[22:29] brought several of my

[22:30] colleagues with me here from

[22:34] the dfw International Airport.

[22:37] My name is Brian Butler and the

[22:37] chief financial officer at dfw

[22:38] been here all of 6 months.

[22:41] Excited to be here at the

[22:43] airport.

[22:44] We have 3 just great

[22:45] presentations that we want to

[22:46] present to you today. We're

[22:48] going to start off with our

[22:49] fiscal year 27 budget

[22:51] afterwards. We're going to go

[22:52] into our public facilities,

[22:53] proving Corporation going to be

[22:54] a little bit of background kind

[22:56] of talk about a few projects

[22:57] that we would like your

[22:59] approval for now, we're going

[23:00] to end up with a final

[23:02] presentation on dfw Code's

[23:03] rules and regulations so much

[23:04] like the city of Fort Worth.

[23:07] Our fiscal year runs from

[23:07] OCTOBER. First to SEPTEMBER,

[23:09] 30th, we've been diligently

[23:13] preparing this budget since the

[23:14] beginning of APRIL. Just so

[23:16] you're aware we presented this

[23:16] to our airline partners,

[23:19] including American Airlines and

[23:19] late JULY, we have presented

[23:21] this budget presentation to our

[23:25] own board which approved it

[23:26] and early AUGUST we were down

[23:27] at Dallas City Hall yesterday

[23:30] where we answer questions on

[23:30] this budget and this is kind of

[23:32] the final stop for us here in

[23:33] Fort Worth. So let's what that

[23:35] really says is that should be

[23:35] my best budget presentation

[23:38] because I've had a lot of

[23:40] practice giving it.

[23:42] So moving on. This is really a

[23:43] high-level overview slide.

[23:44] And I'm not going to read every

[23:46] single bullet point because we

[23:47] cover these on all the

[23:48] subsequent slides. But if there

[23:49] was something I wanted you to

[23:50] know, you could just reference

[23:53] back to this page and you would

[23:54] kind of see, you know. How

[23:56] we're doing as far as what

[23:58] we're forecasting for

[24:00] passengers, revenues,

[24:00] expenditures. You know, what

[24:02] are we going to forecast for?

[24:03] A cost for employment now?

[24:07] A budget and nature only covers

[24:07] 12 months as you can imagine,

[24:11] with all the capital programs

[24:11] that we have going on with

[24:14] Terminal f with the renovation

[24:15] of Terminal c All the roadway

[24:18] improvements on international

[24:19] parkways.

[24:19] And partners and as well as

[24:21] kind of the investor community.

[24:23] They want to know. What does

[24:27] your budget look past fiscal

[24:28] year? 2027 and I know I explain

[24:29] this to our airport board, but

[24:30] we come up with a financial

[24:33] plan. Airport finance in

[24:33] conjunction with Treasury.

[24:34] When we go to the capital

[24:36] markets and we borrow these

[24:38] billions and billions of

[24:39] dollars, we come up with a plan

[24:39] and we say this is what we

[24:41] think our passengers are going

[24:42] to be in the future. Here's

[24:43] what we think our revenues are

[24:45] going to be in the future or

[24:47] ca structures, whether it's

[24:47] operating a maintenance,

[24:49] whether it's debt service,

[24:51] principle and interest

[24:52] payments. And so we kind of

[24:54] project that out. And while

[24:56] we use it primarily for rating

[24:57] agencies and investors, the

[24:58] key stakeholder that I want to

[24:59] get that in front of his the

[25:00] airlines, they're the ones that

[25:04] are ultimately paying the cost

[25:06] to up operate at the airport.

[25:07] And so I just want to make you

[25:07] aware that as we're going

[25:09] through this, you're going to

[25:09] see a lot of growth. You're

[25:10] going to see growth in

[25:11] passengers are going to see

[25:13] growth in revenues. You're also

[25:13] going to see a growth in

[25:17] expenditures. This was always

[25:19] planned and this budget.

[25:22] Feels kind of our commitment to

[25:22] the airlines to better our

[25:23] financial plan. You know, our

[25:24] revenues are higher than what

[25:26] we projected. Our expenses are

[25:29] coming in lower. So moving on

[25:30] into the actual budget

[25:31] presentation. We want to talk

[25:33] about her passenger forecast.

[25:33] You can kind of see that.

[25:34] It's been pretty stagnant the

[25:37] past couple years. We haven't

[25:37] really been able to grow.

[25:38] There's lots of reasons for

[25:39] that whether its aircraft

[25:42] delivery number of pilots out

[25:44] there in the industry, but

[25:45] primarily, we've noticed

[25:45] specifically with American

[25:48] Airlines. They've been get

[25:50] constrained at dfw. This is

[25:51] the first year and fiscal year

[25:53] 27 that were actually giving

[25:54] them additional capacity.

[25:57] We're going to be opening up

[25:59] some gates in the fall later

[26:00] this year on the Piers of

[26:02] Terminal, a but then in the

[26:03] summer of 2027 really excited

[26:06] for the first phase of terminal

[26:07] at open. Now, that's going to

[26:08] give American anywhere from 10

[26:12] to 12 additional gates. And

[26:12] this is true, a capacity that

[26:15] they're going to be growing and

[26:15] they're going to be able to

[26:19] increase the number of flights

[26:20] coming in and out of dfw.

[26:20] And so we are going to see an

[26:24] all-time record number of

[26:25] passengers at the airport right

[26:26] now. We're forecasting that a

[26:30] 87.0, 7 million passengers.

[26:31] This is a 2.6% increase from

[26:34] what we plan to fly this year

[26:35] at the airport.

[26:37] Moving on, as you can imagine

[26:38] as we have more passengers

[26:40] coming to the airport that the

[26:42] non aeronautical revenues

[26:42] associated with passengers

[26:43] flowing through would increase.

[26:45] You can see in our fiscal year.

[26:48] 25 audit. It was just north of

[26:51] 600 Million. We're forecasting

[26:52] 630 million this year. And then

[26:54] with this upcoming budget year,

[26:57] we think it's going to be

[26:59] closer to 647 Million. Now the

[27:01] detail can be seen on the

[27:02] following slide. Everything

[27:03] that makes this up, as you

[27:04] know, our parking our ground,

[27:04] transportation, all the food

[27:07] and beverage, all the retail

[27:08] locations at the airport.

[27:10] You'll see that our rental cars

[27:11] are doing extremely well.

[27:13] We have a lot of people coming

[27:16] to dfw wanting to rent cars,

[27:17] get around the Metroplex you'll

[27:19] hear later from my colleague

[27:20] Kevin costs. He oversees our

[27:21] commercial development. You can

[27:23] see all of the industrial

[27:24] warehouse is around the

[27:25] airport. That continues to do

[27:28] very well. And then we actually

[27:29] have a lot of cash. We are

[27:31] borrowing a lot of money for

[27:32] funding terminal left and cta.

[27:33] We have significant cash

[27:35] balances and with the elevated

[27:37] interest rates. We're putting

[27:40] that to work in Berry's safe,

[27:41] secure investments. But we are

[27:41] projecting an 8.3 million

[27:44] dollar increase in interest

[27:48] income.

[27:50] One of the goals with kind of

[27:52] our non aeronautical revenues

[27:52] is we actually share it back

[27:53] with the airlines. And this

[27:55] coming year is the first year

[27:57] that we're actually seeing it

[27:58] decreased a little bit. Now, we

[28:01] just saw that the revenues are

[28:02] increasing, but we're also

[28:03] increasing the expenses

[28:04] associated with that. So after

[28:05] we paid all the expenses, we

[28:08] say what's left over, how much

[28:08] do we get back to our airline

[28:11] partners? How much does the

[28:13] airport able to keep and

[28:15] basically cash fund capital

[28:16] projects? And so you're going

[28:17] to see that the airport's

[28:19] projected at 145 million for

[28:21] fiscal year, 27. We're

[28:22] projecting to give the airlines

[28:23] 152 million dollars back to

[28:24] reduce landing fees. Terminal

[28:26] rents. And we'll cover those

[28:29] later in the slide. Now, this

[28:30] is a budget. Our goal is always

[28:32] to exceed our budget, right?

[28:33] We we think these are realistic

[28:35] revenues and expenditure

[28:35] assumptions that we put in

[28:38] there. But our goal is always

[28:38] to have higher revenues or less

[28:39] expenditures. So we'll be

[28:41] updating this throughout the

[28:44] budget year and kind of

[28:46] updating at mid-year.

[28:47] So this is a really busy slide.

[28:49] This is kind of the meat and

[28:50] potatoes of the budget

[28:52] presentation. There's a lot of

[28:54] information on this, but really

[28:55] it is our operating and

[28:57] maintenance expense budget as

[28:59] well as our debt service

[29:00] budget. And you're going to

[29:02] see that our total expenditure

[29:02] budget that we're going to ask

[29:04] you to approve. And a couple

[29:07] weeks as 1.0, 6, 3 Billion.

[29:08] This is 189 million dollar

[29:11] increase from fiscal year 2026.

[29:13] Again, this was always planned

[29:15] about two-thirds of this 67%

[29:16] really relates to kind of the

[29:18] debt service that the airport

[29:19] has borrowed and we're now

[29:20] required to make principal and

[29:24] interest payments as those

[29:25] facilities come online. The

[29:26] other portion about 30% is an

[29:27] increase in operating and

[29:29] maintenance costs will go over

[29:31] kind of the walk forward.

[29:32] How do we get from this year's

[29:33] budget to next year's budget?

[29:33] But there's a few key

[29:36] highlights that I would just

[29:37] point out, too.

[29:39] First, we're instituting what

[29:40] they call a centralized

[29:40] receiving and distribution

[29:43] center. This is very common

[29:45] in airports currently if you're

[29:46] a concessionaire at the

[29:46] airport, you're going to

[29:50] contract with, you know, anyone

[29:51] of vendors found out throughout

[29:54] the Metroplex and they're going

[29:55] to deliver your goods. You

[29:56] know, through the air field

[29:58] come up through dock through

[30:00] the elevators and bring it to

[30:02] kind of your concession.

[30:04] We partnered with a Bradford

[30:05] logistics. It's a consolidated

[30:06] warehouse where not only is it

[30:09] the liver, but its also

[30:11] screened and it eliminates a

[30:13] lot of that traffic out on the

[30:14] airfield. This will be new

[30:15] starting on OCTOBER. First, it

[30:17] is about a 50 million dollar

[30:19] commitment on the airport site.

[30:20] The concessions to pay a part

[30:22] of the fee for having the

[30:22] service at the airport and the

[30:25] rest would go into our terminal

[30:27] cost center. 2 other things

[30:28] that I would highlight

[30:29] high-level that are new this

[30:33] year that weren't in our fiscal

[30:34] year 2026 budget is we've

[30:36] agreed with American Airlines

[30:37] to take over the maintenance

[30:38] responsibilities and terminals

[30:40] a and c for everything outside

[30:41] of the passenger boarding

[30:42] bridge as well as a baggage

[30:45] handling system. So just think

[30:47] of all that moving walkways,

[30:47] the escalators, you know, the

[30:49] gate hold space while you're

[30:51] waiting for your aircraft that

[30:53] actually happened this summer.

[30:55] But we need to recognize a full

[30:56] year's worth of maintenance

[30:57] costs and our budget. And

[30:59] that's about 4 and a half

[31:01] million in fiscal year. 2027.

[31:04] And you're going to see some

[31:04] fixed cost increases as I

[31:07] mentioned, we're opening up the

[31:08] first phase of Terminal f.

[31:11] It will not have any

[31:12] connections to Terminal d.

[31:13] It also will not have a garage

[31:14] or a ticket lobby where you can

[31:16] walk from straight to the

[31:18] terminal left. So the only way

[31:19] for the first phase until we

[31:21] can open future phases that

[31:24] bring those facilities online.

[31:24] Israeli to check in that anyone

[31:28] of Americans terminals, it

[31:29] could be abc, d Henri. But then

[31:31] you're going to have to get on

[31:32] to a Sky link train station.

[31:32] We're going to have to ride

[31:36] that to terminal f to get to

[31:36] your gate now because of the

[31:37] importance of getting

[31:40] passengers to their gate on a

[31:41] timely manner. We are

[31:42] increasing the contract to

[31:44] bring on additional labor to

[31:45] make sure that it's operational

[31:49] and that we limit any down time

[31:52] said it MAY have.

[31:54] You'll see that we do have our

[31:54] debt service budget here

[31:57] originally in our financial

[31:57] plan, we had borrowed. We had

[31:58] planned to borrow 3 billion

[31:59] dollars and we had planned to

[32:02] go on the market in SEPTEMBER

[32:03] up 2026. With your

[32:04] authorization. In the spring

[32:07] we were able to expand our

[32:08] commercial paper program and

[32:09] sore Bethel. Better utilizing

[32:10] commercial paper which allows

[32:13] us to stay on the short end of

[32:15] the curve. Until we really need

[32:18] to take out that fixed rate

[32:19] long-term bonds. And so we've

[32:21] actually pushed bond issuance

[32:23] out till JANUARY. And we've

[32:25] also been able to limit from

[32:26] 3 billion dollars down to

[32:28] 2 billion dollars and again

[32:30] will rely on that commercial

[32:31] paper program. But it does

[32:33] present about 103 million

[32:34] dollars of gross debt service

[32:39] savings that will not be in our

[32:39] fiscal year. 2027 budget which

[32:40] doesn't show up in the air.

[32:43] Landing fees or terminal rents

[32:44] to the airlines now, eventually

[32:45] that Stepford, when we need to

[32:47] borrow those funds and we take

[32:47] them out, they will be a

[32:50] recognized in subsequent years.

[32:55] So this is a really fancy

[32:57] finance spreadsheet to kind of

[32:58] say, how do we go from 755.7

[33:02] million and our fiscal year

[33:03] 2026 budget to 820.6, which is

[33:05] the official operating and

[33:07] maintenance expense budget

[33:10] request for 2027. You'll notice

[33:11] we'll start with kind of what

[33:11] are cost in this year's budget

[33:14] that are not going to move

[33:16] forward to next year at the

[33:17] airport. We never budget for

[33:18] winter weather. So any cost

[33:20] with these ice storms that

[33:22] happened in JANUARY, we use

[33:22] kind of some contingency funds

[33:24] to cover those. But we back

[33:25] those out of the budget

[33:27] request. We had some one-time

[33:29] cost for fifa that will no

[33:30] longer be in next year's

[33:32] budget. And then we've also

[33:33] done some analysis on overtime.

[33:34] We best teams to limit the

[33:37] amount of overtime moving into

[33:39] next year. But then when it

[33:39] comes to contracts will

[33:42] increases. We've already talked

[33:42] about the crtc. That was a

[33:44] 15 million dollar increase.

[33:46] Our sky link was 9 million

[33:49] dollars as we bring on a new

[33:50] terminal at just think of all

[33:51] the contracts that are

[33:53] associated with a new terminal,

[33:53] primarily janitorial. You're

[33:56] going to have some cost to

[34:00] clean that. You're going to see

[34:00] that we have some small

[34:02] increases for We do have some

[34:04] additional headcount. It is

[34:05] minor and almost every head

[34:07] count is directly attributable

[34:10] to either Terminal f opening

[34:11] police and fire or it's

[34:12] associated with the maintenance

[34:15] responsibilities and terminals,

[34:16] a and c.

[34:17] Dfw is committed to digital

[34:20] transformation. You'll see

[34:22] almost 10 million dollars under

[34:23] budget for increases for

[34:24] technology solutions. About

[34:24] two-thirds of this are for

[34:27] contracts that we already have

[34:28] in place. And they're just

[34:31] contract x escalations for

[34:32] licenses and software's.

[34:33] But you'll see about a 3rd of

[34:35] it. About 3 million dollars

[34:37] are for new solutions coming

[34:37] online this past year. We

[34:41] brought on a new time keeping

[34:42] an h r software platform that

[34:42] will be live. And we're now

[34:45] going to put that into our

[34:45] operating and maintenance.

[34:49] So that gets us to the 820.6

[34:51] million. What does that mean to

[34:52] our airline partners? It kind

[34:54] of relates to a landing be what

[34:55] do we charge them to land a

[34:58] plane or our cargo partners

[35:02] as well for fiscal year 2027.

[35:02] It will be $4.40 again. This is

[35:03] in line with our financial

[35:05] projections that we shared with

[35:08] the airlines when it comes to

[35:08] the terminal rental rate,

[35:09] whether it's a ticket counter,

[35:10] whether it's a gate hold while

[35:11] you're waiting to get on the

[35:13] plane or back office support

[35:16] the airlines or any of our

[35:17] partners will be paying $460

[35:20] per square foot on an

[35:21] annualized basis.

[35:22] And so this is really kind of

[35:24] what we're going to ask you to

[35:25] approve here in a couple weeks.

[35:27] And the formal city council.

[35:28] We're going to ask you to

[35:30] approve are operating a

[35:31] maintenance budget of

[35:32] 820 Million. We'd ask you to

[35:33] approve our gross debt budget

[35:37] of 801.8 That gets us to the

[35:40] 1.6, 2 billion. We do ask that

[35:40] we have 10 million dollars

[35:42] aboard contingency for anything

[35:43] that's unplanned. Unforeseen,

[35:45] let's say instead of 2, I stays

[35:48] at the airport. We have 4 days

[35:48] and maybe our budget can handle

[35:52] that. So that gets us to the

[35:54] 1.6, 3 billion. And then this

[35:55] last slide really is just for

[35:57] information sharing. So you

[35:59] guys are aware of this you

[36:02] know, we have tech sharing

[36:03] agreements with 4 of our host

[36:04] cities, us Irving, compelling

[36:06] Grapevine. Every tech sharing

[36:08] agreements a little bit

[36:08] different. I just wanted to

[36:09] highlight that the tech sharing

[36:11] increased and fiscal year.

[36:13] 25 by a million dollars.

[36:13] And you can see that Fort Worth

[36:16] was paid 13 million dollars.

[36:20] That was a lot and a little

[36:20] bit of time when it comes to

[36:21] the budget. Happy to answer any

[36:22] specific questions you MAY have

[36:24] council any questions for

[36:28] Brian. Yes, counselors course.

[36:30] Just one quick comment. And

[36:31] that's a big Orange w sign MAY

[36:31] be able to save money for just

[36:34] drop.

[36:37] >> That you completely. And

[36:38] they just do some renaming just

[36:38] to negotiate that. And I will

[36:39] take that live in the West

[36:40] anyway. So just putting it out

[36:41] there for your board to

[36:43] consider that I'll take the

[36:44] feedback back to the ball.

[36:46] >> a few years ago per full.

[36:49] They did that and it was

[36:50] hilarious because the east went

[36:51] nuts and they just it just said

[36:52] forward. Dallas International

[36:53] Airport News for you. Get.

[36:56] Yeah, thank you. Front

[36:56] reshaping.

[37:00] Ok, Kevin Hof says back up.

[37:01] I think I'm going to actually

[37:02] kick off the next PRESIDENT

[37:02] Budget presentation. And then

[37:05] I'll introduce my colleague

[37:06] Kevin Haha. So

[37:07] >> we don't come to you very

[37:11] often for the public facility

[37:11] Improvement Corporation.

[37:12] So I did want to put just a

[37:13] little bit of background

[37:16] slights here. Just so you're

[37:17] aware of what this is. This is

[37:19] a separate legal entity from

[37:20] the airport. It was created

[37:21] back in the early 2, thousands

[37:25] by our board CHAIRMAN Now

[37:26] burning the evidence that was

[37:29] the cfo of the time at the

[37:31] airport and really it was meant

[37:32] to enhance the customer

[37:34] experience for facilities that

[37:35] were found outside the

[37:37] terminal. And you're going to

[37:40] see on this very next slide.

[37:42] Some examples eligible projects

[37:43] that are found within the p

[37:45] Fick organization. You're going

[37:47] to see that our Grand Hyatt dfw

[37:49] is a a as an entity that

[37:51] resides within the p thick,

[37:54] our high, a place that's

[37:55] operational today is also in

[37:56] there, the Hyatt House, which

[37:57] is under construction and

[38:00] should be opening up in the

[38:01] fall of 2027.

[38:02] And really it was a rental car

[38:02] center that kind of kicked off

[38:04] the peak back. And, you know,

[38:08] how could we create this

[38:09] separate legal entity? Couple

[38:11] years back. We came to you

[38:11] asking you to designate the

[38:14] 19th Street cargo development

[38:16] as an eligible project and then

[38:17] you'll see that the campus West

[38:18] Office complex is also and

[38:21] we're looking for your approval

[38:25] to add 2 additional projects to

[38:27] this list.

[38:28] So when it was organized, there

[38:31] is a governing board of the

[38:35] fact they met in JULY and

[38:35] unanimously approved a to

[38:37] designate these 2 projects that

[38:38] we're going to talk about here

[38:40] shortly. As people eligible

[38:42] projects. But some of the

[38:44] governance structure for us

[38:44] to designated as a pefect

[38:46] eligible project. Not only do

[38:48] we need our board approval.

[38:50] We also need both Fort Worth as

[38:52] well as Dallas approval to kind

[38:53] of state that these are

[38:54] eligible projects. Now, I will

[38:56] point out that, you know, if

[38:58] we have private developers that

[38:59] are building these industrial

[39:00] warehouses and there's tax

[39:00] payments or there's ground

[39:03] lease payments to the airport.

[39:06] That continues on this is not

[39:07] to the detriment of the

[39:08] airport. And so as we do these

[39:10] projects and we're going to

[39:11] be purchasing 2 projects from

[39:12] private entities. Those

[39:14] payments continue to be made to

[39:16] the airport. Those revenues are

[39:17] shared with the airlines.

[39:19] But what this allows us to do

[39:21] is do commercial development

[39:23] outside of kind of the airline

[39:24] rate base. So we don't

[39:25] necessarily need the airline

[39:26] approval. We always brief them.

[39:26] We want to be good partners

[39:28] with American Airlines. We

[39:30] don't want to do anything that

[39:31] they're not aware and support

[39:32] about, but technically doesn't

[39:35] require their approval. If we

[39:37] want to kind of pursue a

[39:39] commercial development venture.

[39:41] So the very first thing I'm

[39:42] going to talk about is our

[39:44] international air cargo

[39:46] buildings. These are focused on

[39:47] the west side of the airport

[39:48] campus priest. I got imagine

[39:49] you like the west side of the

[39:53] airport a little bit more than

[39:55] the east side. But, you know,

[39:55] right now, these are owns.

[40:00] The buildings were built by a

[40:02] very and in

[40:03] jus and the airport actually

[40:05] approached for a low. Just they

[40:07] were not looking to sell these

[40:08] buildings. And so we approached

[40:10] them and they sit, we told them

[40:12] about our economic impact.

[40:13] Study. I think you would have

[40:15] seen recently in the news that

[40:17] tcu just put out a report that,

[40:18] you know, American airline

[40:22] contribute 71 billion dollars

[40:23] to North Texas on 2024. The

[40:26] airport did its own economic

[40:27] impact. Study. And, you know,

[40:28] for all airlines and for all

[40:28] the construction, it

[40:34] contributed 78 billion dollars

[40:36] to North Texas. But about 55%,

[40:37] 42 million to 42 billion

[40:41] Israeli directly attributable

[40:41] to cargo. And so what we size,

[40:42] we had Milton de La Paz who

[40:44] heads up our Air Service

[40:48] development, cargo team.

[40:50] He was out talking to airlines

[40:52] partners for some freighters.

[40:53] And then we would kind of refer

[40:55] them to this 3rd party entity

[40:56] and say, hey, why don't you go

[40:59] see if you can secure some some

[40:59] space in one of these

[41:00] warehouses because it's so

[41:02] strategic for us. We want to

[41:04] own it completely. We want to

[41:06] maintain those relationships.

[41:08] And so what this does is it

[41:11] allows us to purchase the 3

[41:12] buildings on the West side as

[41:13] we develop this out. We also

[41:15] get a control the ramp space,

[41:16] which is really valuable for

[41:19] all of these cargo carriers

[41:21] as there bringing in cargo

[41:22] cargo or they're unloading

[41:22] their cargo, putting it into

[41:25] North Texas or they're loading

[41:26] it up, sending at, you know,

[41:29] across the country or overseas.

[41:30] It's really important. So we

[41:32] approached Pirlo jus we did our

[41:37] own analysis. The internal rate

[41:38] of return is 15.7% for us.

[41:40] We are negotiating a purchase

[41:41] price. Just under 100 million

[41:42] dollars. But again, because

[41:46] we voluntarily went to pro low.

[41:47] Just they had a few asks.

[41:48] And so we're asking for you to

[41:49] do 2 things when it comes to

[41:50] the international cargo

[41:50] buildings. First that you

[41:54] designate it as an eligible,

[41:55] Pete, that project, but second

[41:55] upper low just has other leases

[41:58] on the airport. They have 10

[41:58] non aeronautical leases.

[42:01] They've asked for some

[42:02] extensions on those and anytime

[42:06] we grant extensions on leases

[42:07] over 40 years, it does require

[42:08] both the cities of Fort Worth

[42:08] as well as Dallas to approve

[42:13] those Lisa. So we would ask

[42:14] that you Rennes the up ability

[42:15] to extend leases. Now they're

[42:16] going to continue to make

[42:17] payments to the airport.

[42:18] These are buildings that they

[42:19] own and operate today have

[42:22] tenants. So that would be the

[42:22] the ask for you on that.

[42:24] So happy to answer any specific

[42:25] questions you MAY have on the

[42:28] Internet. Thank you, counselor

[42:30] Peoples.

[42:31] So what is Pirlo just what are

[42:33] they? What's the extension is

[42:35] conform these leases.

[42:37] >> So I can bring up Kevin

[42:37] Haas, who is head of our

[42:38] commercial development. The

[42:40] kind of manages more that

[42:40] portfolio that okay. Answer

[42:43] that question specifically.

[42:46] >> Air Park and City Council.

[42:49] They are requesting to 10 year

[42:50] extension options. Ok?

[42:55] Any other questions for Kevin

[42:57] o'Brien? Tickets are first

[42:58] rate. I think. Thank you,

[43:01] mayor, in skimming and with us

[43:02] right now, source Council

[43:03] action is concerned. I think

[43:06] it's instructive to say this

[43:07] publicly.

[43:08] For the physical certification.

[43:09] There's no impact on material

[43:12] impact on city. Fox. Correct.

[43:16] Any other comments? Thank you.

[43:19] I appreciate it. So for an xp

[43:20] pick project in Ghana.

[43:22] >> Bring back up. Kevin

[43:22] Hostler, vice PRESIDENT Of

[43:25] commercial development to talk

[43:28] about the Hyatt Regency.

[43:33] >> So this next item is the

[43:34] Hyatt Regency dfw Airport

[43:34] purchase transaction and the

[43:37] request a designated as a

[43:38] pefect eligible project.

[43:39] So this transaction, as Brian

[43:40] mentioned, was approved by the

[43:41] Peeping board of directors on

[43:44] JULY 29th and the airport board

[43:45] on AUGUST 6th for background,

[43:48] the Hyatt Regency and let me

[43:51] advance the slide.

[43:52] The high region season, hotel

[43:54] located on dfw Airport

[43:56] immediately adjacent to

[43:56] Terminal c. It's not a

[43:59] long-term lease with Woodlake

[44:00] hr dfw Hotel owner, llc and the

[44:02] least comments back in 1986.

[44:02] And has 59 years of term

[44:06] remaining. If all the options

[44:08] are exercised.

[44:08] So keep it currently owns and

[44:10] operates. 3 of the 4 hotels

[44:12] located on the airport as Brian

[44:13] mentioned. And this presents a

[44:13] really strategic opportunity

[44:15] for people to acquire the

[44:18] Regency and ultimately own all

[44:21] 4 hotels on the airport.

[44:21] Under the transaction with Lake

[44:22] will sign a lease to pick

[44:23] people assume the hotel

[44:24] management agreement. Police

[44:25] will be amended to provide that

[44:28] people will pay additional rent

[44:30] to the board for any debt

[44:31] service issued and also to

[44:33] designate this as an eligible

[44:33] perfect project. As I

[44:35] mentioned, there's a not to

[44:36] exceed price of 193.6, 5

[44:39] million. Happy to answer any

[44:42] questions on this one. Any

[44:44] questions council.

[44:44] Next. We have Paul Time.

[44:47] He's legal counsel for the

[44:53] airport.

[44:54] Live at this very quick.

[44:57] We have a code change. We need

[44:58] to approve international

[44:58] Parkway. The spine road up.

[45:01] The middle of the airport is

[45:02] very, very busy.

[45:03] >> We conducted a traffic study

[45:04] with all the construction going

[45:07] on, turning left exits and a

[45:07] right exit but the normal

[45:09] airport traffic as well as all

[45:10] the pastor traffic. It is too

[45:13] busy to be 55 miles an hour.

[45:17] Reduce that from 55 to 45.

[45:18] And we're asking you to amend

[45:19] our appendix one to our code of

[45:21] rules and regulations to

[45:23] accomplish that. COUNCILMAN

[45:24] Back.

[45:26] >> What's the cost of a

[45:27] speeding ticket at dfw? We're

[45:31] just not asking for me, but

[45:32] for other folks. Yeah, Frank,

[45:33] yeah. Seating tickets and

[45:35] international parkway. Go to

[45:35] the Grapevine, Municipal Court

[45:38] and that depends on the judge

[45:39] and the.

[45:39] >> And I'm just thinking about

[45:42] those early mornings and

[45:43] running late to fly fell.

[45:44] >> There will there will be a

[45:45] period of adjustment for the

[45:46] public that is accustomed to 55

[45:47] miles an hour. Okay. All right.

[45:51] Thank you. Thank you, Paul.

[45:53] >> Council. That's the

[45:54] conclusion of our defeat

[45:54] airport updates. We thank you,

[45:56] gentlemen, for being here

[45:59] today. Showing no, you missed

[46:03] this very much.

[46:07] Council. Next step is a

[46:07] presentation of proposed

[46:08] economic development agreement

[46:08] with Carrier Corporation U.S.

[46:11] Brianna Brown. It's gonna walk

[46:14] us through it.

[46:19] Thank you, mayor. Good morning.

[46:22] Mayor and council city manager

[46:23] and city leadership staff.

[46:24] My name is Breanna Brown and

[46:25] the assistant director of

[46:27] economic development here at

[46:29] the city of Fort Worth and very

[46:31] excited to share with you.

[46:35] An update on Project j which

[46:37] is Carrier Corporation, a name.

[46:38] We are all likely very familiar

[46:39] with as they tend to heat and

[46:42] cool our spaces that we enjoy.

[46:46] >> Company overview Carrier

[46:48] Corporation. Is a global leader

[46:49] in intelligent climate and

[46:49] energy solutions.

[46:50] >> They are based their U.S.

[46:54] Headquarters, space and Palm

[46:56] Beach Gardens, Florida. They

[46:58] operate in over 150 countries

[47:00] with approximately 47,000

[47:01] employees worldwide. The

[47:01] project that we're going to

[47:05] talk about today represents

[47:05] the largest single facility

[47:08] investment that carrier has

[47:10] made in their history. It's the

[47:11] first investment of this size

[47:14] in the United States. Since the

[47:14] 1990's. So we've got a huge

[47:17] opportunity here with this

[47:19] potential project.

[47:21] Carrier is considering the

[47:22] development of an advanced

[47:23] manufacturing facility to

[47:25] support customer demand and

[47:26] inventory management and those

[47:29] commercial and industrial

[47:30] customers in the United States.

[47:32] The new facility will include a

[47:35] variety of operations,

[47:36] including manufacturing,

[47:36] warehousing engineering

[47:39] operations, testing and

[47:41] administrative functions.

[47:43] We do have an opportunity here

[47:43] with this project for the

[47:44] additional recruitment of

[47:47] suppliers to carry or carrier

[47:47] has expressed a commitment in

[47:50] trying to recruit some of its

[47:52] own suppliers to them. Space is

[47:52] in close proximity to their

[47:55] location, potential location

[47:57] here in Fort Worth. So there's

[47:57] potential for quite a bit of

[48:00] upside with this project as

[48:03] well.

[48:08] Company commitments for this

[48:09] project. Again, they are

[48:11] proposing to build an advanced

[48:11] manufacturing facility with the

[48:14] minimum capital investment of

[48:18] 433.8 million by DECEMBER of

[48:19] 2028. That does represent

[48:21] 36 million in real property

[48:22] construction. They are looking

[48:23] at a location that's currently

[48:25] under construction in alliance.

[48:28] So that's why you'll see a

[48:30] little bit lower. Real property

[48:31] investment. But 397 million in

[48:34] business. Personal property for

[48:35] the finish out of this

[48:37] potential facility. They are

[48:40] proposing a minimum of 495 new

[48:43] full-time jobs by 2029 with a

[48:45] minimum average wage of 75,000

[48:47] that equates to approximately

[48:48] 260 million additional payroll

[48:48] for the city of Fort Worth over

[48:51] the course of the 7 year term.

[48:55] As I mentioned, project

[48:56] location is at 15. 0, 1,

[48:59] distributions drive an alliance

[49:00] in council district 10. This

[49:01] property is currently under

[49:05] construction. You can see a

[49:06] rendering of it here. This will

[49:08] be located next door to usher

[49:08] in a project that you all are

[49:09] very familiar with, just

[49:12] celebrated their grand opening

[49:16] a couple of weeks ago.

[49:18] Potential impact of this

[49:19] project carriers, the largest

[49:20] company in the United States.

[49:20] Again, as I mentioned at the

[49:22] beginning of the print

[49:25] presentation of family, a

[49:28] family known name, they provide

[49:29] the opportunity to enhance our

[49:30] manufacturing cluster. They are

[49:33] in a target industry area for

[49:34] the city of Fort Worth. And one

[49:35] thing that I'm really excited

[49:36] about with Kerry in particular

[49:39] is their focus on their

[49:40] employees and employee culture.

[49:41] And they really set themselves

[49:45] apart with the way that they

[49:47] invest in education for their

[49:47] employees. And then also

[49:48] excellent benefits, packages

[49:51] that really make them stand out

[49:52] against their competitors.

[49:54] They also have a proven track

[49:55] record of community engagement

[49:57] and their current locations.

[49:58] And so I think we're looking

[49:59] at are opportunity for a really

[50:00] excellent corporate citizen for

[50:03] the city of Fort Worth as well.

[50:05] Competitive landscape. We are

[50:08] in competition with 3 other

[50:10] states for this project.

[50:11] All 3 of those states to offer

[50:13] significant tax advantages that

[50:14] we do not in the state of

[50:15] Texas. And so the incentives

[50:17] that we are proposing to today

[50:18] do play a significant role and

[50:21] the decision making for this

[50:24] company.

[50:26] Our proposed incentive terms

[50:28] Texas Enterprise Zone program

[50:31] nomination. This would qualify

[50:33] or we are recommending a double

[50:34] jumbo project recommendation

[50:34] which would give them an

[50:35] opportunity for maximum

[50:38] incentive of 2.5 million

[50:40] dollars from the state as well

[50:42] as a 7 year tax abatement

[50:45] agreement for up to 60% of

[50:47] incremental taxes on real and

[50:49] ppp, of course, this project

[50:49] would be subject to all of the

[50:50] performance requirements that

[50:52] are consistent with all of the

[50:53] projects that we bring to you,

[50:54] including minimum capital

[50:57] investment jobs and average

[51:01] wages.

[51:03] So in summary, we're looking at

[51:04] a 4, 4, 133 million dollar

[51:06] investment. 36 million of that

[51:09] being in real property. 397

[51:11] being in ppp for creation of

[51:15] 495 jobs with average wages

[51:18] of $75,000.

[51:19] Proposing a 7 year 60% tax

[51:22] abatement. That would provide

[51:23] an estimated incentives of 10.9

[51:24] million dollars. That's a 0.7

[51:28] million in today's dollars.

[51:29] 2% city participation and a

[51:32] private to public ratio of just

[51:33] about 50 to one.

[51:35] City would be cash positive by

[51:37] year. One of this incentive

[51:39] and we are looking at net new

[51:40] taxes to the city over the term

[51:41] of this agreement of 7.3

[51:44] million, which is 3.8 million

[51:47] in today's dollars.

[51:48] Staff's recommendation for next

[51:50] steps we would like to bring

[51:52] this agreement as well as the

[51:52] nomination for the Texas

[51:53] Enterprise Zone program.

[51:56] To you at your meeting on

[51:57] SEPTEMBER. 15th.

[51:59] And with that, I am happy to

[52:00] answer any questions. We do

[52:02] also have representation from

[52:02] the company with us in the

[52:04] audience today. So definitely

[52:06] want to thank them for being

[52:07] here. And he is also available

[52:07] to you as well for any

[52:10] questions that you MAY have.

[52:15] Any questions council.

[52:16] Thank you and your team for

[52:19] working so hard. You can

[52:21] actually get.

[52:24] Okay. We have a presentation on

[52:25] the 2026 Bond project schedule.

[52:27] i believe APRIL is here to walk

[52:31] us through.

[52:33] Good morning. Mayor and Perez

[52:35] Eskom. Yes, your capital

[52:37] projects officer with the 4th

[52:38] lab. I leave the capital

[52:40] infrastructure strategy team at

[52:40] 4th lap and this is part of

[52:42] the mid-year investment that

[52:42] city manager Chapa.

[52:45] >> Made as part of fiscal year

[52:47] 26. We are toss to really focus

[52:48] on the infrastructure strategy

[52:50] for both from a technical

[52:52] sense, but also from a budget

[52:53] and preparation, fiscal sense.

[52:55] So part of our portfolio today

[52:58] is on the 2026 Pond Program

[52:58] and which will be able to

[52:59] provide an update on the

[53:01] program itself as well as the

[53:04] schedule. So where will run

[53:07] through the purpose background,

[53:07] introduce bond program controls

[53:09] as well as the bond program

[53:12] delivery schedule as well as

[53:14] next steps.

[53:16] The purpose of state's

[53:17] presentation is to really

[53:20] provide that update of the 2026

[53:21] bond program as well as ongoing

[53:21] efforts to centralize

[53:24] reporting. And this also

[53:26] includes the project delivery

[53:26] schedules. Today. You have a

[53:27] packet in front of you that

[53:31] kind of outlines all of our

[53:33] various projects and city

[53:34] council will consider a

[53:34] recommendation today to

[53:36] appropriate the extendable

[53:40] commercial paper program for

[53:44] the 2026 Pond Program.

[53:44] So a bit of background as we

[53:45] know, the 845 million dollar

[53:47] bond program, this voter

[53:49] authorized on MAY second 2026.

[53:50] Now in a typical timeline for

[53:52] bond. Issuance are friends with

[53:53] U.S. Treasury, the division

[53:55] with your responsibile for the

[53:57] administration of that city

[53:57] dad, which would occur over

[54:01] East series of general purpose

[54:02] spawn sales with in this case,

[54:03] the first spawn sale would be

[54:06] expected in summer of 2027.

[54:07] That is quite some time to kind

[54:08] of kick in some funds to be

[54:11] able to begin project delivery,

[54:12] which is why the Treasury team

[54:15] has established extendable

[54:15] commercial paper program and

[54:17] this allows us as the city to

[54:22] begin funding projects within

[54:23] months. Voter approval. So at

[54:24] for transparency, the first at

[54:26] the ecp was first established

[54:28] in 2022. In the amount

[54:32] authorized up to 300 million

[54:32] and recently on AUGUST. 11th,

[54:36] you authorized an increase to

[54:38] that ecp program up to

[54:38] 845 million and what this

[54:39] allows us to basically do.

[54:42] And the way that I like to look

[54:44] at it, you're a big fan of

[54:44] Spiderman and Uncle Ben.

[54:47] One said with great power comes

[54:49] great responsibility. You have

[54:51] 2 options. Typically the ecp

[54:52] program of this size, you can

[54:53] find an appropriate all the

[54:53] funds all at once. And that

[54:55] kind of leads a murky area.

[54:57] You don't really know where the

[55:00] project facing is occurring

[55:02] or we can establish bond

[55:04] program controls. And this

[55:05] allows us to begin transferring

[55:07] budget based on actual project

[55:08] facing and cash flow.

[55:09] Appropriation need with.

[55:10] This allows us from a

[55:11] centralized standpoint is to

[55:14] be able to really begin that

[55:15] project. The reporting, where

[55:19] are we in design 30, 60, 90%

[55:19] all the way through. Where are

[55:22] we on right-of-way acquisition

[55:23] utility Clarence, as well as

[55:25] construction and also gives us

[55:26] insight on project management

[55:31] of as well as construction

[55:31] inspection. So what we have

[55:34] been doing throughout this

[55:35] entire summer time frame is

[55:35] really working as the ci asking

[55:38] for a lap with all the various

[55:42] departments t bw part Pnd.

[55:42] All that showed on there.

[55:45] You MAY notice that library and

[55:49] fire and and it's not currently

[55:49] shown. That is because pmd

[55:50] works with their internal

[55:52] clients to be able to deliver,

[55:53] say fire stations are libraries

[55:56] are for code compliance.

[55:57] The animal care shelter, but

[55:57] all in all with this allows us

[55:58] to do is really establish that

[56:01] baseline understanding where we

[56:05] can monitor project's status.

[56:06] Completion rates elevate

[56:06] horizon issues before waiting.

[56:08] Way too long until you know

[56:10] something comes up as well as

[56:13] provide the overall oversight

[56:14] from a larger sense.

[56:17] So with that being said, we

[56:18] have managed to kind of come

[56:22] together and develop this one

[56:22] pdf right here as is shown

[56:23] where we can basically provide

[56:27] for each one of our projects.

[56:28] What this design phases in the

[56:29] timing, the right-of-way land

[56:30] acquisition construction and in

[56:33] some instances if their impact,

[56:34] the program's established.

[56:35] Now, there is some fine print

[56:36] at the bottom of this page.

[56:38] And I really want to point out

[56:40] that the state baseline

[56:41] schedule a lot of this

[56:42] information is sort of what

[56:45] the department's pull together

[56:45] as there, you know, best

[56:46] understanding at this time, at

[56:48] least that up until design or

[56:51] construction contract. There is

[56:56] a shunt occurs.

[56:59] In fiscal year, 27. What we can

[57:00] already ascertain is that there

[57:04] will be about 104 based

[57:04] designed right of way contract

[57:07] authorization to really focus

[57:07] on delivering projects

[57:09] throughout the fiscal year.

[57:11] And it's broken down by

[57:12] quarter. But we can also show

[57:12] is an understanding of

[57:15] preconstruction or construction

[57:15] based contracting. Now

[57:17] preconstruction and design can

[57:20] kind of occur on the same time.

[57:21] If you have a vertical facility

[57:21] sometimes are delivered through

[57:24] see Mars, which is known as

[57:24] construction manager at risk

[57:28] and that pretty construction

[57:28] activity can include pretty

[57:29] authorization are pretty

[57:32] requisition of certain products

[57:33] or as well as construct ability

[57:34] reviews, which is why you might

[57:36] see some of these numbers

[57:41] overlap for some of the

[57:42] projects. Overall, we have 156

[57:44] pond projects as of today.

[57:44] And I say as of today, because

[57:46] there are some flexible buckets

[57:47] that are in the bond program

[57:48] as well as some matches that

[57:50] MAY increase the number of

[57:52] projects as the program

[57:53] continues. So think about open

[57:55] space. Think about some of the

[57:58] sidewalk related projects and

[58:00] and so forth.

[58:03] So carrying around a piece of

[58:03] paper and COUNCILMAN Nettles, I

[58:04] see you highlighting earlier,

[58:07] which is great. We want you

[58:08] to ease. That's right. But what

[58:10] we have done and this is really

[58:11] great. A great charge from city

[58:12] manager Chapa and really

[58:14] providing that transparency

[58:17] for you as City Council to be

[58:18] able to carry dashboard where

[58:22] you can always find the latest

[58:24] and greatest on all of these

[58:24] projects and what this can with

[58:25] this dashboard that allows you

[58:27] to have is to be able to count

[58:29] to toggle by proposition and

[58:32] within your council district.

[58:33] You can also toggle by

[58:34] proposition as well as have an

[58:37] understanding of the

[58:37] approximate project facing by

[58:38] timeline. We are providing this

[58:41] by fiscal year quarter and we

[58:42] do plan to issue out quarterly

[58:45] updates because, you know,

[58:45] capital delivering things start

[58:46] to happen. And so we want to be

[58:47] able to have that. You can

[58:50] always put your found and have

[58:52] this level of data.

[58:54] Also, part of the dashboard

[58:56] is a program exhibit where you

[58:57] have a geospatial interactive

[58:59] exhibit where you can actually

[59:00] select a given project,

[59:04] understand the project name as

[59:04] well as the location and you

[59:05] can toggle by your respective

[59:06] council district and it will

[59:08] highlight the projects that

[59:09] are within that area. Now,

[59:10] there are some projects that

[59:11] are not included in there and

[59:13] those are related to some of

[59:14] the bucket category projects,

[59:15] which as the program continues,

[59:18] we'll be updating this level

[59:21] of information.

[59:23] So next steps in this case,

[59:24] we spoke earlier about the ecp

[59:27] program and the appropriation

[59:27] aspect of it.

[59:29] City Council will still

[59:29] continue to authorize or costs

[59:31] related to design or

[59:33] construction project projects

[59:34] as well as right away

[59:35] acquisition. So you will always

[59:38] be informed of the related

[59:39] contracting.

[59:42] We are also progressing towards

[59:44] a bond program website so that

[59:45] we can move away from the

[59:45] dashboard aspect and we can

[59:46] have far more robust

[59:48] information by projects.

[59:49] We have a full project page

[59:53] and that will be expected in

[59:55] early 2027 forward lab will

[59:56] continue to complete a book or

[59:58] leave on project reporting and

[1:00:01] that will be issued to the city

[1:00:04] manager's office. And with that

[1:00:05] mayor, I yield the floor.

[1:00:05] Thank you, APRIL. Very

[1:00:06] impressive. Any questions or

[1:00:07] comments from Councilmembers,

[1:00:10] Chris, please.

[1:00:10] >> This is awesome.

[1:00:11] >> Thank you. So make it a lot

[1:00:12] easier for us to communicate

[1:00:16] with her to constituents.

[1:00:17] Thank you.

[1:00:18] >> I'm curious. This MAY be a

[1:00:20] longer-term because so many

[1:00:21] people got familiar my 4th at

[1:00:22] the risk. A shunt internally

[1:00:23] with staff about how to turn

[1:00:25] that into more than just a

[1:00:27] reporting tool. So that I guess

[1:00:28] my my thought was if their bond

[1:00:28] projects can live on the app

[1:00:30] and at least click on, it MAY

[1:00:31] not be as detailed as what's

[1:00:34] here and that's a much

[1:00:36] longer-term project. But I've

[1:00:39] noticed lately people are and

[1:00:39] they'll take pictures of a sign

[1:00:42] of whatever sent water projects

[1:00:43] going on and Fort Worth and

[1:00:44] they'll turn those in as rather

[1:00:45] than actually, Anderson, with

[1:00:48] the full body project is about.

[1:00:48] So just a thought. Very

[1:00:49] impressive. I'm sure this took

[1:00:51] an incredible amount of work

[1:00:51] from the entire team.

[1:00:54] >> Maybe we can. And at a link.

[1:00:57] Sure at the very top accuse you

[1:00:58] have your bond projects so they

[1:01:00] see a sign they can go to that

[1:01:02] Lincoln find the been project

[1:01:02] yet. Very impressive that we

[1:01:03] have this up and running.

[1:01:03] This is something I've always

[1:01:06] wanted to do. Another

[1:01:07] technology. The city's

[1:01:08] capabilities and our staff or

[1:01:10] have the ability to do it.

[1:01:14] So. Appreciate all very much.

[1:01:17] Thank you.

[1:01:17] >> Okay. Our next up is budget

[1:01:20] responses and updates with

[1:01:24] Christian sentence.

[1:01:25] All right. Good morning.

[1:01:27] So I guess Jay and I can tag

[1:01:28] team this. We don't have a

[1:01:28] formal presentation this

[1:01:30] morning. But like I mentioned

[1:01:31] Friday, we have this place.

[1:01:33] Holder.

[1:01:34] >> Item in case there are

[1:01:35] comments questions follow-ups

[1:01:37] from council related to the

[1:01:40] fiscal year, 27 budget process.

[1:01:42] I have one and I I don't need a

[1:01:43] budget response for any amount

[1:01:46] will be sufficient or if you

[1:01:47] have the answer today. One of

[1:01:50] the things that I'm concerned

[1:01:51] about in the Code Department

[1:01:52] and our development services

[1:01:52] actually don't remember which

[1:01:56] I think it's code that this was

[1:01:58] housed in. But we've been

[1:01:59] working on the new and

[1:01:59] door-to-door vendor program

[1:02:01] that benefit Haitian and

[1:02:02] registration program. And so

[1:02:05] >> I'm just concerned that

[1:02:06] because it's new.

[1:02:08] That it's not budgeted or we

[1:02:09] don't have positions available

[1:02:09] for it. So I just want to make

[1:02:12] sure the Jay has that answer.

[1:02:14] Okay.

[1:02:17] Yes, ma'am. We did budget

[1:02:19] forward. Okay. But 30, 30,000.

[1:02:20] >> Dollars. Okay. Than 30,000

[1:02:22] out. We thought it was just

[1:02:23] going to be a neutral. Neutral.

[1:02:25] Okay. That's fine. But we also

[1:02:27] gone and ministry with current

[1:02:28] staff. Okay. Thank you. And I

[1:02:31] did have a light bulb go off

[1:02:34] yesterday and that's we talk

[1:02:34] to budget workshops ago.

[1:02:37] We talked about the alleyway

[1:02:38] mowing.

[1:02:41] Talk about a compromise or not

[1:02:42] in the Cup.

[1:02:43] We didn't get a solution to

[1:02:44] that. And it wasn't part of our

[1:02:47] ads on Friday. So when you get

[1:02:49] council's feedback. On that, I

[1:02:53] think it's about 330,000 3.20,

[1:02:54] dollars. We can try to squeeze

[1:02:55] it in without changing the tax

[1:02:58] rate. We can increase the tax

[1:02:59] rate by 0, 3 because it's 3, 1,

[1:03:01] 100's, the pain to make that

[1:03:03] up. Just wanted to get the

[1:03:03] council's feedback because it

[1:03:07] did. We just missed that as we

[1:03:07] went through that process.

[1:03:08] >> We squeeze it in without

[1:03:11] raising. I mean, like is that

[1:03:12] a squeeze? Double amount?

[1:03:14] >> We'll have to. We'll talk to

[1:03:15] Dave about that was the is he's

[1:03:17] putting his head down, looked

[1:03:19] >> it. 19 chair, but little

[1:03:22] bit. We'll figure out of there.

[1:03:24] So Jay was

[1:03:26] then then because I wasn't

[1:03:28] going that was a cop was going

[1:03:30] to 3 rather than them before we

[1:03:31] went from Florida to we're

[1:03:31] going to go to 3, I think seems

[1:03:34] like that was the consensus

[1:03:37] Councilmember Hall.

[1:03:39] Yes, Israel is coming. So you

[1:03:43] said that would be 300,000.

[1:03:44] It's about 311,000. I think

[1:03:44] those numbers, 324,000 mean, I

[1:03:45] think that the sister cities, I

[1:03:45] mean, that's under 1000.

[1:03:47] If we look at that is, well,

[1:03:51] I mean, just my thoughts on

[1:03:54] that day. Anyone else on budget

[1:03:55] response right now?

[1:03:56] Thank you, Christine. We

[1:03:59] appreciate. You know, I'm

[1:03:59] sorry. I did have

[1:03:59] with that.

[1:04:03] >> looking at the health care

[1:04:04] administrative charge. No, and

[1:04:05] it's departments are paying

[1:04:06] that. But it went up a

[1:04:10] 30 Million. Another things like

[1:04:10] now, one, 14, maybe just an

[1:04:11] answer like what exactly that

[1:04:11] is that the department's or

[1:04:13] pain? Because I know that put a

[1:04:15] squeeze on them. That's maybe

[1:04:17] just breaking down Barnes to

[1:04:19] offer like where Marines could

[1:04:22] understand it to be

[1:04:22] outstanding. So colors and

[1:04:24] graphics were great. I think we

[1:04:26] can bring we can send out the

[1:04:26] presentation from JUNE. This.

[1:04:29] It's basically we had cars go

[1:04:30] up in a health care.

[1:04:35] >> And it's all mostly tied to

[1:04:36] actual. High cost. Final.

[1:04:39] Amounts for costs for it for.

[1:04:42] For care overall. But we can we

[1:04:43] can get that

[1:04:43] to you.

[1:04:45] >> Ok, and maybe if we can

[1:04:46] explain how because I know

[1:04:47] there's some changes with the

[1:04:49] gop. Some of the prescriptions

[1:04:52] and the changes that we

[1:04:52] recently made, how that effects

[1:04:56] reduced it by 14 Million.

[1:04:56] So that increases that being

[1:04:57] reduced okay would have been

[1:05:00] larger. Otherwise. Thank you.

[1:05:04] >> To add a question, we a

[1:05:04] tight speaking, speaking of the

[1:05:07] gop ones, we took them out of

[1:05:09] that covered.

[1:05:13] Policy are cover medication and

[1:05:15] our policies. But there was a

[1:05:16] direction from council to bring

[1:05:19] back some sort of program that

[1:05:19] pay for it. So where we're at.

[1:05:20] >> That's in the projected cost

[1:05:22] for the overall where we would

[1:05:26] be a copay. A piece were

[1:05:28] actually.

[1:05:28] We'll be off a side of the

[1:05:29] other benefits package. It's

[1:05:30] paid by the employee, but the

[1:05:34] city will rebate that amount.

[1:05:36] Okay. I think we're one.

[1:05:37] Yeah. We'll come back with the

[1:05:40] actual full program before we

[1:05:42] vote on the budget.

[1:05:42] No like it. I think they're

[1:05:43] working on it should cap and

[1:05:45] toward the end of the month.

[1:05:49] >> So but it will definitely

[1:05:49] happen before OCTOBER. What it

[1:05:52] says, SEPTEMBER one to OCTOBER

[1:05:54] one that that coverage okay.

[1:05:57] So it will. But we will have

[1:05:57] our employees will have

[1:05:59] something before just won.

[1:06:00] The funding is in the budget to

[1:06:01] cover that copay. Okay. The

[1:06:03] that everyone should have the

[1:06:06] whole program. You know, the

[1:06:09] dollar amount was.

[1:06:19] >> Thank you. Could see it.

[1:06:21] Click an overview on the sales

[1:06:21] tax collection and where those

[1:06:22] dollars go. I'm getting some

[1:06:25] questions after budget meetings

[1:06:26] on. We've had an increase in

[1:06:27] population increase in sales

[1:06:27] tax revenue. And I think we

[1:06:29] just need some clarity on where

[1:06:30] those dollars go and how

[1:06:31] they're spent. So for the next

[1:06:34] session, if we get a breakdown

[1:06:35] on that, and I think also to

[1:06:36] understand how much sales tax

[1:06:38] we've collected. I looked at me

[1:06:39] like the last 5 years. So you

[1:06:39] can see how that revenues

[1:06:42] changed. Sure, we can do that.

[1:06:45] Future agenda items on the

[1:06:50] budget. Thank you. Cause you

[1:06:52] Any future agenda items on

[1:06:52] future work. Sessions for

[1:06:55] council. Yes, consumer knows

[1:06:57] just something.

[1:06:59] Yes, that's for sure. I have a

[1:07:02] couple, please.

[1:07:04] >> Like to get an update

[1:07:05] any of the smoke shops

[1:07:05] operating under just general

[1:07:07] commercial CEOs. And that was

[1:07:07] an issue before. But I don't

[1:07:09] think we ever got an update

[1:07:12] back on that. Just make sure

[1:07:13] they're operating legally

[1:07:13] because I know there's at least

[1:07:17] 5 or 6 that word in a fight in

[1:07:22] district 4 that were not

[1:07:23] and I also see Adam.

[1:07:26] Reducing speed limits. I was

[1:07:28] going to say 20 miles per hour,

[1:07:30] but Penn State laws against

[1:07:31] that. The 25 miles in all

[1:07:31] residential neighborhoods,

[1:07:32] Senate becoming more and more

[1:07:33] of a concern throughout.

[1:07:34] I mean, I'm sure all the city,

[1:07:35] but specifically district 4

[1:07:39] neighborhoods where the speed

[1:07:40] limits are. 35, that's

[1:07:40] way too high. So what the

[1:07:44] process would look like just to

[1:07:44] reduce that we talk about the

[1:07:45] health commissioner charged in

[1:07:48] the last one's going to big one

[1:07:52] I don't know if we staff just

[1:07:53] to conduct just an initial

[1:07:53] feasibility assessment, nothing

[1:07:56] to indep just to find out if

[1:07:58] there's enough there. There

[1:07:58] to do something similar to what

[1:08:01] Dallas and darted with their

[1:08:03] general mobility program we're

[1:08:07] about to ask residents for

[1:08:08] street maintenance fee. And so

[1:08:08] looking at what Dallas and Art

[1:08:09] did them in Dallas is getting

[1:08:12] 200 million dollars back over

[1:08:12] 6 years from there from their

[1:08:17] sales tax, which is great segue

[1:08:19] I don't know that. Look like in

[1:08:20] the city of Fort Worth, but I

[1:08:22] think, you know, just a 5%

[1:08:22] return of those taxes would net

[1:08:24] around 6 million annually for

[1:08:24] street maintenance, which I

[1:08:30] think would be outstanding.

[1:08:31] Especially seeing as how

[1:08:33] training measured as received

[1:08:34] 52% of its revenue from sales

[1:08:39] tax. Again, back to COUNCILMAN

[1:08:40] Councilmen Hills point

[1:08:41] so just had a guest feasibility

[1:08:42] on that. What that would look

[1:08:45] like. I think it would take

[1:08:46] a lot more to do anything more

[1:08:49] broader than that. As far as

[1:08:53] implementing an actual cause,

[1:08:55] actual legal term.

[1:08:57] There's a much larger. There's

[1:08:58] a much longer legal term.

[1:08:58] I don't think we can really get

[1:09:02] there in the city yet. But if

[1:09:02] you just the city used to

[1:09:05] collect a street rental fee and

[1:09:06] then over the years as

[1:09:07] >> Trinity Metro's cost went up

[1:09:09] and would come to the city

[1:09:10] Council passed. For those kind

[1:09:12] of cost. The city actually just

[1:09:14] collecting that fee. It could

[1:09:15] go back to that point. Maybe

[1:09:18] if we just got word on that

[1:09:20] that be out saying thank you.

[1:09:21] >> The city of tail on a

[1:09:22] council member of our stores to

[1:09:22] request a look at lower speed

[1:09:24] limits. As you said,

[1:09:25] neighborhood streets right?

[1:09:27] And Craig Residential

[1:09:29] neighborhood up atw. Remember

[1:09:32] this years back prior city

[1:09:35] Council looked at this, I think

[1:09:36] reducing it to 30 of memory

[1:09:37] serves. So we ought to pull

[1:09:40] that up to an ad that 2

[1:09:48] counselors, torso request.

[1:09:50] Few here, 3 first, I'd like to

[1:09:50] I understand we do inspections

[1:09:54] final inspections for a ceo

[1:09:56] for homes in particular.

[1:09:57] But this pay ever go to

[1:09:58] commercial properties. How we

[1:09:59] look at the exterior of the

[1:10:00] property in particular think

[1:10:03] development services where this

[1:10:05] retaining walls in a particular

[1:10:07] neighborhood, the falling

[1:10:09] before the House is even sold.

[1:10:10] But how inspection is done.

[1:10:12] And just to clear transparency

[1:10:14] about that, what that looks

[1:10:15] like and are we actually

[1:10:18] inspecting the exterior

[1:10:20] properties?

[1:10:21] Second, I have had some

[1:10:22] questions about payouts from

[1:10:24] the risk fund and we had one

[1:10:26] today or we're going to prove

[1:10:27] one which is fine. I'm going to

[1:10:28] go into support but

[1:10:30] understanding how are ris fun

[1:10:31] works, how it's funded. And

[1:10:35] in particular, if we have to

[1:10:36] hire outside counsel what that

[1:10:36] looks like and then costs

[1:10:40] associated with that. So we get

[1:10:43] a full picture

[1:10:46] on that. And then the 3rd is

[1:10:46] mayor, thanks for a couple

[1:10:47] weeks ago in Boddington at

[1:10:47] night, a sit in a meeting about

[1:10:48] your good natured program and

[1:10:51] what that looks like across the

[1:10:51] city.

[1:10:52] I think it might be helpful

[1:10:55] to haven't seen this. I think

[1:11:00] it over the last 4 years since

[1:11:01] that's been going what the

[1:11:01] property acquisition looks like

[1:11:05] that fits into that. So we know

[1:11:06] in districts where it's been

[1:11:07] acquired and just the property,

[1:11:08] et cetera, what that looks

[1:11:09] like. So people have a better

[1:11:09] picture of we're we're crying

[1:11:12] property. What that looks like

[1:11:15] to.

[1:11:19] >> Tack on 10 counts of a large

[1:11:20] force request and take a look

[1:11:22] at history on the tree metro

[1:11:24] relationship. It was like 90 90

[1:11:24] said and they were paying up

[1:11:26] to 25% of the sales tax back

[1:11:29] to street infrastructure needs.

[1:11:33] So if we just get an overview

[1:11:33] on why that changed, we can

[1:11:34] have that well, but the economy

[1:11:34] was like prior to that. And

[1:11:37] then what we are now in the be

[1:11:40] helpful.

[1:11:45] >> First, I want to say that

[1:11:48] I'm very fortunate to have 2

[1:11:48] community centers within

[1:11:53] district 6 to serve our our and

[1:11:53] communities. Really well.

[1:11:55] I just had some questions at

[1:11:56] the beginning of the summer.

[1:11:58] Had people reaching out because

[1:12:00] the capacity of summer

[1:12:02] programming pose as summer

[1:12:03] ahead, people talking about,

[1:12:03] you know what those those

[1:12:07] programs consisted of and

[1:12:08] things of that nature and we've

[1:12:09] had a lot of conversation about

[1:12:11] budget in part and things of

[1:12:13] that nature. So I would like

[1:12:14] to know if there's a system

[1:12:16] that the community centers have

[1:12:17] in place to receive feedback

[1:12:20] regarding summer programming.

[1:12:23] And and what systems do we

[1:12:24] utilize to track the metrics

[1:12:27] and data pertaining to that

[1:12:29] programming.

[1:12:32] >> Any other future agenda

[1:12:35] items Council? Okay. We are

[1:12:38] adjourned.
