super excited for both.
Isolation.
>> Moving on to inform reports.
The first report we have is
development activity report
for OCTOBER.
Order of OCTOBER dj. Her
relatively he's not here today.
Jaelynn he is here. I changed
it up on me. Dj Hero from
Development Services. Here to
answer any questions.
Next report is proposed
contract or accountability
process. Again, the Jays here
to answer any questions.
Councilor back. I have a couple
of questions. T j.
>> Wire and make your way to
the podium. Thank you so much
for for putting this
program together. And in
response to some bad actors we
had. So thank you for the work
that you've done. I think it's
pretty well fleshed out.
I have one question. So we
Process we have now is that if
they have are we will have as a
result of this. If a contractor
has 3 violations and a 12 month
period. And so the only thing
I'm concerned about our
question I have is is that 12
month period long enough like
realistically speaking right,
houses are building projects,
take a long time. So should
that be 24 months, right?
Like how realistically, how
often are people committing
that?
Good Morning. Mary Council dj.
Real Development Services.
>> Thank you for that question.
I think we looked at 12 months
because we thought, you know,
as a contractor being.
Not not being able to do
construction in the city of
Fort Worth.
A 12 month cycle. It's a pretty
big deal to. Oh, no, I'm ok
with them. Ok with the
punishment? Pierre, I'm talking
about the look-back period that
we have. So right now it's as
if they commit 3 violations in
a 12 month period. And so.
>> It does. Is that long enough
to capture are habitual
violators? I guess my question
is if I pull a permit for
project one and I have been to
a violator on that, you know
that once I have one or 2 and
then my next project because
construction takes while is
13 months. And then I I do the
same thing.
Time limited ourselves out of
what we know is a habitual
violator. They just don't.
Pull permits as maybe as
regularly as other people as
men. We can certainly look at
24 months.
In general. Our development
community is that if the city
of Fort Worth is pretty
familiar, Generally the folks
that do work without a permit
or cover of work without
getting inspections are folks
that.
>> Kind of fly by night
generally don't see him as
frequent fliers. Okay. However,
we can certainly look at the 24
months. If that's.
>> If you could just maybe go
back and look at if we would
have repeat offenders and what
that looks like, right? Is it a
single job that they tend to be
repeat offenders on? So you get
the 3? They're not that I'm
trying to get people, but I'm
really worried about folks.
Doing some.
Jack Curry on one. Project and
then coming in a little later
and do it again. And so I just
want to make sure we're
capturing as bad folks. That's
all.
The person that to me is
Rachel. Okay. Her name is
Rachel Perry says she's in a
room building official.
>> Hey, good morning, mayor
and council. I want to add some
context on there. A lot of the
violators that we see have to
do with single home as a family
renovations and they'll hit
multiple homes along several
areas at the same time. And so
to most.
Prevalent violators are a lot
of times these flippers.
Okay, that are happening and we
is I think most of them would
be caught in that well. But but
again, we can look at the 20,
okay. That's fine. I just want
it. That was my only concern in
all this is that that period
was on it that we really catch
the people. But if you think
that it's sufficient, that's
why.
>> All right. Thank you to see
if there got a thank you
councilmember I think you
brought this up. So thanks for
asking for this ir. One thing I
think it might be helpful
feeding on what? Yes, cuz, how
pervasive is this problem
already that we know about some
report back to us about maybe
of some of the single-family
actors? I can think about what
that looks like. But that might
help help us or public know how
pervasive that is. If that
maybe they're buying homes from
these people, etc. Want to know
those are the questions you
normally ask when you're buying
a home that they get all their
permits, et cetera, that might
help us with that. And
certainly there's a lot of to
be honest, there's a lot of
construction that happens.
>> Without a permit that we
never even know about.
You know what we generally the
way we generally find out about
it is they've constructed in
such a manner that is in
violation, the coders too close
to somebody. Monday, though,
says House or too close to the
street or something that brings
in a neighbor's attention and
they reach out to us and they
report the violation either
through a sewer through code
enforcement. But, you know,
generally.
Generally speaking, there's a
good deal of construction that
happens without a permit.
And unfortunately, we can only
hold the people accountable
when we know that. I think all
we're asking. But just more
that transparency piece to.
So we know.
>> Leading into that. At what
point are we notified that MAY
be a process of moving forward
like you have a process in
here. That council notified
that there's properties within
the district that you're
looking at. We don't currently,
but we would think about the
private I would think about
adding something. So we're
aware as we hear things maybe
from neighbors, et cetera, that
houses just think about that
piece of it, too. And then the
kind of final question, it says
appeals are heard by the
Construction and Fire
Prevention Board of Appeals who
makes up that committee and
how are they pointed to it?
I heard of it. So
that's why.
>> No, that's fine. So I'm
going to touch a little bit
on the prevalence see of this.
I'm gonna go back a couple
questions. So on average we
have 150 complaints give or
take a year for work without
permits. About 70% of those
come through the system.
So they're directly
from citizens.
>> We can get you more numbers
on single-family specifically.
And then the Board of Appeals
is made up of specialized
industry professional. So we
have people who are licensed
electricians, mechanical.
I mean, structural all of that
so that we have a right of wide
variety of people that are
addressing any of the pills
that come in. So we have
specialized ones, for example,
we have a plumbing contractor
that's doing work without
permits can with specialized
knowledge of everything that is
entailed in these planning
processes. That sounds like
subject matter experts exactly.
>> Nguyen who appoints those
how they get on to that board.
They're generally a point by
the by myself, the director
of Development services.
But through a process we know
with legal and city secretary's
office. That and everything is
part of that process.
>> Sorry, just just a moment of
clarification there actually
appointed by this body.
I believe, folks, JULY and they
come to the council for a perk.
Have a question for dj. Also.
>> All right. A j and you'll
hear it. Great job. Putting
this process together. But I
I I I'm you know, being you
have had discussions. I think
we also really need to look at.
>> Zoning accountability
process because there's a lot
of folks that are approved for
cops are site plans they never
follow through. They drag their
feet. And so I'd like to see
that. Also being work.
Your questions for dj.
Thanks, Jay.
>> The next report is a
proposed council initiated
zoning changes an update.
On the Panther Island formed
based code. Counselor for us.
Thank you very much. I don't
really have questions, but I
would like staff to come up
and kind of give us an overview
of it because I think this is a
very important step.
>> Recently, we re envision the
current vision. Then the
Panther Island project and
subsequently now we're doing
something more substantive,
right? We're a deeper dive into
it. When we're looking at the
foreign based code and doing a
you know, look at it. Doing
council initiate rezoning in
order to have, you know, some
intentional and orderly
development coming there.
So if you could speak to them
and appreciate it.
>> All right. Good morning.
Mayor Council city manager
Francisco Vega with Development
Services.
>> Yeah, absolutely. As Kuz
member Florida Mansion and 2020
Florida City and the regional
partners.
>> Completed the Padre Island
Nation. 2 point oh, which
essentially is an update to the
2004 drain to Weaver patient.
And in this document, there is
an analysis of the current
conditions of the district and
that are several
recommendations about how to
prep her for the future
development of the district.
One of those recommendations is
abating the forum based code.
And that's the step where we
are currently right now.
Some of the key provisions to
the districts reducing. The
number of some districts been
drawn is is not just one
district, but his 9
subdistricts.
And we're resolute seeing that
from 9 to just 2 subdistricts
would. Now we're calling the
Pender Island Corps and the
Pender Island age they with
this is to reorganize the
vision for the district in the
general over that way.
And so the Pender Island core
area will have a specific
design relations because they
the end intention is to have a
higher and then answer
development. There. And the
more you get closer to the
river, the intention is to have
a more open space. Top of the
development with Pro-Trump, for
example, some restaurants were
commercial activity. So there
we were a boundary gets I
debated and also with these of
the date, the new way to see in
the district will have it will
act as a transition, for
example, from that poor area,
which again will have several
development with these. Let's
dance and they connect with the
downtown district. On this out
and the larger skill they da's
that weakening near South side
wouldn't come district with 100
London then would start yours.
Some of other provisions that
we are proposing is a
the resigning of this property.
Is they is that can we move
from 9 some districts to just
2?
The current code 8 includes at
non permitted use table which
is not something that we see
traditionally him from his
kids. So that's one of those
things that that's complexity
for development because it
opens the door interpretation,
for example, essentially the
table says of whatever is not
included on the table. The
sellout. So that will sound a
little bit contradictory for
developments. The developers
because there is actually
occurring at Temple and the
general zoning ordinance.
And with these of that, we are
removing the table in adding
permeated his table that we
just leave all the uses that
are going to be allowed on the
core area. And on the age,
these will make development.
In general the interpretation
of the code easier where also
adopting at regulating plan and
this plan identifies different
streets that we call type a and
type b and also water frontage.
So essentially the pending on
where development is going to
be located. They will have a
new sign regulations for that
type of development. And that's
that's in general, like a key
overbey of these review and
why they're resigning is
needed.
Directed Exhibit b, that's in
our packet here that will cover
the Orange Boundary waterway.
>> And street areas and Panther
Island that are going to be
included in this update.
Thanks for system. Thank you.
The next report is the one 26
recommended interest income
allocation.
>> Brady, Kurd from the forward
Lab and Katy Perry from
financial management is here to
answer any questions.
Next is the mid-year update for
residential solid waste
collection. Jim Keyes will from
Byron Mental services is here
to answer any questions.
>> Any questions for Jen?
>> Next, a proposed updates of
the Fort Worth City Code
Chapter 12.5 in my own
protection and compliance and
Cody DR. Cody Wooden Bird is
here to answer any questions.
Yeah. Kuzma Graham backing up
for just a second on the waste
collection. I think that column
is really great.
>> But I know that Jim and his
team has made great strides
and I have any questions.
Cody, anybody, but I think a
column there, too, that says
total collections for the
entire city might help. People
also understand that only
missing 2000 over the numbers
that they collect. He's a
pretty good number. There's
obviously percentage. They're a
million or whatever. Yeah.
So I think that might tell our
story that they've done a great
job of closing that gap from
what we had a year 2 years ago
that started all this good
idea.
>> In the last formal report,
updates to the committee center
facility Master Plan and
Aquatics Master plan for Dave
Lewis. Parks is here to answer
any questions. If we could just
get a problem. They've here
come up.
Good morning, Mayor and Council
de Lis truck to the park and
Recreation Department.
>> So we started these 2
studies about a year ago.
We issued an rfp and Dunaway
was awarded the project in
because they're very similar
studies with a little different
outcomes. Slightly different
process to have one company
kind of lead us through both
efforts starting with the
community Center master plan
intention was to do a full
facility study of all the
facilities have right now,
which includes or mechanical
engineering, plumbing systems,
the size and shape of the
building. And then really the
current user ship Powell of the
facilities being used with the
ultimate intention to help us
create a roadmap when we would
build a new facility in the
gaps that have been identified
in service. That parts of
county currently aren't served
by community center as well
as identify current community
centers that need to be
renovated or some other process
done with them. And then
ultimately decide the priority
between those 2. When should we
build a new one versus when
to renovate current ones?
As you probably recall, the
newest one is Better Press
community center, highly
successful before that was
Diamond Hill. 2 examples.
One of them is identifying a
gap building in the center.
The other one is identifying.
Excuse current facility that
needed to be replaced. So
really creating road map.
So we're very strategic and
data-driven with how we
prioritize building new ones
for says renovating existing
ones. We did steady all what we
would consider. 25 of our
community centers, including
House Athletic Center Rise
Community Center. A couple Don
Graves Community Center as
well. So those are all included
in the study. And when it's
completed, we certainly will
share those results and create
that road map and will be the
next bond project or other
funding sources pop up that
we would know what the next
step is to do. It. Similarly on
the aquatic masterplan want
to do it. Facility said e.
Excuse me on not only our own
pools but alternative
providers. I should also say
that we've mapped alternative
providers in the community
center said he as well where
the other ymca is where the
other boys and girls clubs
where the library's who also
offer similar services because
it's important to identify all
those community facilities.
But on the aquatic side, making
sure mapping all the
alternative providers. The
question come up this weekend
about pools and it was
important to identify. Not only
do we have to pull as we have.
We have a 3rd in design.
The 4th and North Sea bozin to
go in and we have contracts
with the ymca to allow.
Struggling this morning to
allow public access without
having a membership at the same
rates. And so it's really where
we find those partnerships.
And then where do we need to
fill in the gaps in service
with all kinds of aquatic
facilities that we've really
not considered in the past.
Where do we need an indoor
natatorium? Where do we need
the seasonal outdoor pools or
do we need splash pads and do
we actually need like a more
regional water park type
facility as well? So again,
once those findings are are
completed, will certainly share
those as well.
Sorry, I just it.
>> In this study, did it also
and focus on areas that we have
gaps in the area that I'm most
concerned about is the West
7th downtown area that doesn't
really have a community center
and we see the population
density rapidly increasing.
So is it looking at where are
community center deserts
are maybe? Yeah, absolutely.
That's a huge part of that
Israeli identifying we know we
have very large gaps in service
for those.
>> And that's where it
alternative providers really
come into play because there
is a ymca there in the talk of
a downtown library. It's up to
us to get with the commute to
figure out not just you need to
come use and what services do
you need that we can provide
through alternative providers
or our own city on Sunday as
well? And is there I ice on the
ir that you're expecting to get
this to us by fall of this year
sets right around. Think I'm
right around the cool, much
cooler corner.
>> So and is it too late to
have community input? Our
engagement in this? Are we too
far down the road or?
>> We we have had some
community engagement and really
this is more of a data-driven.
Where are the gaps
geographically in the service
races that be identified,
really where we really engaged
the community is one of the
identified either renovation or
a new facility to figure out
what they need in their center
in their area. Got it. Thank
you. Yeah, just a preview.
Maybe a preview for the park's
port tomorrow. But do you have
a timeline or thought to have
an are not an update on those
elbows already? Evans aquatic
facility. We don't yet. I think
you either getting a
presentation today on the bond
program. And so that's one of
the ones that we're gonna lot.
We're kind of front loading in
the bond. So should be one of
the first projects we launch.
Thank you.
>> Just one comment to tax your
strained voice already. Dave
just a couple. Mike's on.
It's your stream. Could could
you just give us a sentence or
2 about green print? I think
that's very instructive to the
public that we are receiving
their input and incorporating
it into what we're doing.
>> Yeah. When we completed our
green paint master plan last
year, it did talk about needing
to the studies. Really be more
data-driven on then to connect
with the community to
understand their facility
level. And as we work through
some of the studies, that also
helps our trust for public land
score and some of the things
that they look for from the
community access perspective
as well. All right. Thank you.
>> As the end of our
I ours. Are there any future
agenda? She's not sure that
we're not there yet. Any
changes of coming in and seize
memberships boards and
commissions that you need to
make the body aware of.
Okay. Then we're going to move
into our first presentations.
We've got several
representatives from dfw
International Airport. We
appreciate you being here this
morning. I see one of our board
members still burns here.
And I know that for an Evans
said me and actually called me
this morning, tell me, could
not be here in person. Brian,
thank you very much for taking
the time. I'm not sure camera
few presented to this body yet
in your capacity. I did back in
APRIL and we all runs together
cave area. Quick
reintroduction, thank you.
Appreciate it. Mayor Parker
members of City Council.
>> As she mentioned, that
brought several of my
colleagues with me here from
the dfw International Airport.
My name is Brian Butler and the
chief financial officer at dfw
been here all of 6 months.
Excited to be here at the
airport.
We have 3 just great
presentations that we want to
present to you today. We're
going to start off with our
fiscal year 27 budget
afterwards. We're going to go
into our public facilities,
proving Corporation going to be
a little bit of background kind
of talk about a few projects
that we would like your
approval for now, we're going
to end up with a final
presentation on dfw Code's
rules and regulations so much
like the city of Fort Worth.
Our fiscal year runs from
OCTOBER. First to SEPTEMBER,
30th, we've been diligently
preparing this budget since the
beginning of APRIL. Just so
you're aware we presented this
to our airline partners,
including American Airlines and
late JULY, we have presented
this budget presentation to our
own board which approved it
and early AUGUST we were down
at Dallas City Hall yesterday
where we answer questions on
this budget and this is kind of
the final stop for us here in
Fort Worth. So let's what that
really says is that should be
my best budget presentation
because I've had a lot of
practice giving it.
So moving on. This is really a
high-level overview slide.
And I'm not going to read every
single bullet point because we
cover these on all the
subsequent slides. But if there
was something I wanted you to
know, you could just reference
back to this page and you would
kind of see, you know. How
we're doing as far as what
we're forecasting for
passengers, revenues,
expenditures. You know, what
are we going to forecast for?
A cost for employment now?
A budget and nature only covers
12 months as you can imagine,
with all the capital programs
that we have going on with
Terminal f with the renovation
of Terminal c All the roadway
improvements on international
parkways.
And partners and as well as
kind of the investor community.
They want to know. What does
your budget look past fiscal
year? 2027 and I know I explain
this to our airport board, but
we come up with a financial
plan. Airport finance in
conjunction with Treasury.
When we go to the capital
markets and we borrow these
billions and billions of
dollars, we come up with a plan
and we say this is what we
think our passengers are going
to be in the future. Here's
what we think our revenues are
going to be in the future or
ca structures, whether it's
operating a maintenance,
whether it's debt service,
principle and interest
payments. And so we kind of
project that out. And while
we use it primarily for rating
agencies and investors, the
key stakeholder that I want to
get that in front of his the
airlines, they're the ones that
are ultimately paying the cost
to up operate at the airport.
And so I just want to make you
aware that as we're going
through this, you're going to
see a lot of growth. You're
going to see growth in
passengers are going to see
growth in revenues. You're also
going to see a growth in
expenditures. This was always
planned and this budget.
Feels kind of our commitment to
the airlines to better our
financial plan. You know, our
revenues are higher than what
we projected. Our expenses are
coming in lower. So moving on
into the actual budget
presentation. We want to talk
about her passenger forecast.
You can kind of see that.
It's been pretty stagnant the
past couple years. We haven't
really been able to grow.
There's lots of reasons for
that whether its aircraft
delivery number of pilots out
there in the industry, but
primarily, we've noticed
specifically with American
Airlines. They've been get
constrained at dfw. This is
the first year and fiscal year
27 that were actually giving
them additional capacity.
We're going to be opening up
some gates in the fall later
this year on the Piers of
Terminal, a but then in the
summer of 2027 really excited
for the first phase of terminal
at open. Now, that's going to
give American anywhere from 10
to 12 additional gates. And
this is true, a capacity that
they're going to be growing and
they're going to be able to
increase the number of flights
coming in and out of dfw.
And so we are going to see an
all-time record number of
passengers at the airport right
now. We're forecasting that a
87.0, 7 million passengers.
This is a 2.6% increase from
what we plan to fly this year
at the airport.
Moving on, as you can imagine
as we have more passengers
coming to the airport that the
non aeronautical revenues
associated with passengers
flowing through would increase.
You can see in our fiscal year.
25 audit. It was just north of
600 Million. We're forecasting
630 million this year. And then
with this upcoming budget year,
we think it's going to be
closer to 647 Million. Now the
detail can be seen on the
following slide. Everything
that makes this up, as you
know, our parking our ground,
transportation, all the food
and beverage, all the retail
locations at the airport.
You'll see that our rental cars
are doing extremely well.
We have a lot of people coming
to dfw wanting to rent cars,
get around the Metroplex you'll
hear later from my colleague
Kevin costs. He oversees our
commercial development. You can
see all of the industrial
warehouse is around the
airport. That continues to do
very well. And then we actually
have a lot of cash. We are
borrowing a lot of money for
funding terminal left and cta.
We have significant cash
balances and with the elevated
interest rates. We're putting
that to work in Berry's safe,
secure investments. But we are
projecting an 8.3 million
dollar increase in interest
income.
One of the goals with kind of
our non aeronautical revenues
is we actually share it back
with the airlines. And this
coming year is the first year
that we're actually seeing it
decreased a little bit. Now, we
just saw that the revenues are
increasing, but we're also
increasing the expenses
associated with that. So after
we paid all the expenses, we
say what's left over, how much
do we get back to our airline
partners? How much does the
airport able to keep and
basically cash fund capital
projects? And so you're going
to see that the airport's
projected at 145 million for
fiscal year, 27. We're
projecting to give the airlines
152 million dollars back to
reduce landing fees. Terminal
rents. And we'll cover those
later in the slide. Now, this
is a budget. Our goal is always
to exceed our budget, right?
We we think these are realistic
revenues and expenditure
assumptions that we put in
there. But our goal is always
to have higher revenues or less
expenditures. So we'll be
updating this throughout the
budget year and kind of
updating at mid-year.
So this is a really busy slide.
This is kind of the meat and
potatoes of the budget
presentation. There's a lot of
information on this, but really
it is our operating and
maintenance expense budget as
well as our debt service
budget. And you're going to
see that our total expenditure
budget that we're going to ask
you to approve. And a couple
weeks as 1.0, 6, 3 Billion.
This is 189 million dollar
increase from fiscal year 2026.
Again, this was always planned
about two-thirds of this 67%
really relates to kind of the
debt service that the airport
has borrowed and we're now
required to make principal and
interest payments as those
facilities come online. The
other portion about 30% is an
increase in operating and
maintenance costs will go over
kind of the walk forward.
How do we get from this year's
budget to next year's budget?
But there's a few key
highlights that I would just
point out, too.
First, we're instituting what
they call a centralized
receiving and distribution
center. This is very common
in airports currently if you're
a concessionaire at the
airport, you're going to
contract with, you know, anyone
of vendors found out throughout
the Metroplex and they're going
to deliver your goods. You
know, through the air field
come up through dock through
the elevators and bring it to
kind of your concession.
We partnered with a Bradford
logistics. It's a consolidated
warehouse where not only is it
the liver, but its also
screened and it eliminates a
lot of that traffic out on the
airfield. This will be new
starting on OCTOBER. First, it
is about a 50 million dollar
commitment on the airport site.
The concessions to pay a part
of the fee for having the
service at the airport and the
rest would go into our terminal
cost center. 2 other things
that I would highlight
high-level that are new this
year that weren't in our fiscal
year 2026 budget is we've
agreed with American Airlines
to take over the maintenance
responsibilities and terminals
a and c for everything outside
of the passenger boarding
bridge as well as a baggage
handling system. So just think
of all that moving walkways,
the escalators, you know, the
gate hold space while you're
waiting for your aircraft that
actually happened this summer.
But we need to recognize a full
year's worth of maintenance
costs and our budget. And
that's about 4 and a half
million in fiscal year. 2027.
And you're going to see some
fixed cost increases as I
mentioned, we're opening up the
first phase of Terminal f.
It will not have any
connections to Terminal d.
It also will not have a garage
or a ticket lobby where you can
walk from straight to the
terminal left. So the only way
for the first phase until we
can open future phases that
bring those facilities online.
Israeli to check in that anyone
of Americans terminals, it
could be abc, d Henri. But then
you're going to have to get on
to a Sky link train station.
We're going to have to ride
that to terminal f to get to
your gate now because of the
importance of getting
passengers to their gate on a
timely manner. We are
increasing the contract to
bring on additional labor to
make sure that it's operational
and that we limit any down time
said it MAY have.
You'll see that we do have our
debt service budget here
originally in our financial
plan, we had borrowed. We had
planned to borrow 3 billion
dollars and we had planned to
go on the market in SEPTEMBER
up 2026. With your
authorization. In the spring
we were able to expand our
commercial paper program and
sore Bethel. Better utilizing
commercial paper which allows
us to stay on the short end of
the curve. Until we really need
to take out that fixed rate
long-term bonds. And so we've
actually pushed bond issuance
out till JANUARY. And we've
also been able to limit from
3 billion dollars down to
2 billion dollars and again
will rely on that commercial
paper program. But it does
present about 103 million
dollars of gross debt service
savings that will not be in our
fiscal year. 2027 budget which
doesn't show up in the air.
Landing fees or terminal rents
to the airlines now, eventually
that Stepford, when we need to
borrow those funds and we take
them out, they will be a
recognized in subsequent years.
So this is a really fancy
finance spreadsheet to kind of
say, how do we go from 755.7
million and our fiscal year
2026 budget to 820.6, which is
the official operating and
maintenance expense budget
request for 2027. You'll notice
we'll start with kind of what
are cost in this year's budget
that are not going to move
forward to next year at the
airport. We never budget for
winter weather. So any cost
with these ice storms that
happened in JANUARY, we use
kind of some contingency funds
to cover those. But we back
those out of the budget
request. We had some one-time
cost for fifa that will no
longer be in next year's
budget. And then we've also
done some analysis on overtime.
We best teams to limit the
amount of overtime moving into
next year. But then when it
comes to contracts will
increases. We've already talked
about the crtc. That was a
15 million dollar increase.
Our sky link was 9 million
dollars as we bring on a new
terminal at just think of all
the contracts that are
associated with a new terminal,
primarily janitorial. You're
going to have some cost to
clean that. You're going to see
that we have some small
increases for We do have some
additional headcount. It is
minor and almost every head
count is directly attributable
to either Terminal f opening
police and fire or it's
associated with the maintenance
responsibilities and terminals,
a and c.
Dfw is committed to digital
transformation. You'll see
almost 10 million dollars under
budget for increases for
technology solutions. About
two-thirds of this are for
contracts that we already have
in place. And they're just
contract x escalations for
licenses and software's.
But you'll see about a 3rd of
it. About 3 million dollars
are for new solutions coming
online this past year. We
brought on a new time keeping
an h r software platform that
will be live. And we're now
going to put that into our
operating and maintenance.
So that gets us to the 820.6
million. What does that mean to
our airline partners? It kind
of relates to a landing be what
do we charge them to land a
plane or our cargo partners
as well for fiscal year 2027.
It will be $4.40 again. This is
in line with our financial
projections that we shared with
the airlines when it comes to
the terminal rental rate,
whether it's a ticket counter,
whether it's a gate hold while
you're waiting to get on the
plane or back office support
the airlines or any of our
partners will be paying $460
per square foot on an
annualized basis.
And so this is really kind of
what we're going to ask you to
approve here in a couple weeks.
And the formal city council.
We're going to ask you to
approve are operating a
maintenance budget of
820 Million. We'd ask you to
approve our gross debt budget
of 801.8 That gets us to the
1.6, 2 billion. We do ask that
we have 10 million dollars
aboard contingency for anything
that's unplanned. Unforeseen,
let's say instead of 2, I stays
at the airport. We have 4 days
and maybe our budget can handle
that. So that gets us to the
1.6, 3 billion. And then this
last slide really is just for
information sharing. So you
guys are aware of this you
know, we have tech sharing
agreements with 4 of our host
cities, us Irving, compelling
Grapevine. Every tech sharing
agreements a little bit
different. I just wanted to
highlight that the tech sharing
increased and fiscal year.
25 by a million dollars.
And you can see that Fort Worth
was paid 13 million dollars.
That was a lot and a little
bit of time when it comes to
the budget. Happy to answer any
specific questions you MAY have
council any questions for
Brian. Yes, counselors course.
Just one quick comment. And
that's a big Orange w sign MAY
be able to save money for just
drop.
>> That you completely. And
they just do some renaming just
to negotiate that. And I will
take that live in the West
anyway. So just putting it out
there for your board to
consider that I'll take the
feedback back to the ball.
>> a few years ago per full.
They did that and it was
hilarious because the east went
nuts and they just it just said
forward. Dallas International
Airport News for you. Get.
Yeah, thank you. Front
reshaping.
Ok, Kevin Hof says back up.
I think I'm going to actually
kick off the next PRESIDENT
Budget presentation. And then
I'll introduce my colleague
Kevin Haha. So
>> we don't come to you very
often for the public facility
Improvement Corporation.
So I did want to put just a
little bit of background
slights here. Just so you're
aware of what this is. This is
a separate legal entity from
the airport. It was created
back in the early 2, thousands
by our board CHAIRMAN Now
burning the evidence that was
the cfo of the time at the
airport and really it was meant
to enhance the customer
experience for facilities that
were found outside the
terminal. And you're going to
see on this very next slide.
Some examples eligible projects
that are found within the p
Fick organization. You're going
to see that our Grand Hyatt dfw
is a a as an entity that
resides within the p thick,
our high, a place that's
operational today is also in
there, the Hyatt House, which
is under construction and
should be opening up in the
fall of 2027.
And really it was a rental car
center that kind of kicked off
the peak back. And, you know,
how could we create this
separate legal entity? Couple
years back. We came to you
asking you to designate the
19th Street cargo development
as an eligible project and then
you'll see that the campus West
Office complex is also and
we're looking for your approval
to add 2 additional projects to
this list.
So when it was organized, there
is a governing board of the
fact they met in JULY and
unanimously approved a to
designate these 2 projects that
we're going to talk about here
shortly. As people eligible
projects. But some of the
governance structure for us
to designated as a pefect
eligible project. Not only do
we need our board approval.
We also need both Fort Worth as
well as Dallas approval to kind
of state that these are
eligible projects. Now, I will
point out that, you know, if
we have private developers that
are building these industrial
warehouses and there's tax
payments or there's ground
lease payments to the airport.
That continues on this is not
to the detriment of the
airport. And so as we do these
projects and we're going to
be purchasing 2 projects from
private entities. Those
payments continue to be made to
the airport. Those revenues are
shared with the airlines.
But what this allows us to do
is do commercial development
outside of kind of the airline
rate base. So we don't
necessarily need the airline
approval. We always brief them.
We want to be good partners
with American Airlines. We
don't want to do anything that
they're not aware and support
about, but technically doesn't
require their approval. If we
want to kind of pursue a
commercial development venture.
So the very first thing I'm
going to talk about is our
international air cargo
buildings. These are focused on
the west side of the airport
campus priest. I got imagine
you like the west side of the
airport a little bit more than
the east side. But, you know,
right now, these are owns.
The buildings were built by a
very and in
jus and the airport actually
approached for a low. Just they
were not looking to sell these
buildings. And so we approached
them and they sit, we told them
about our economic impact.
Study. I think you would have
seen recently in the news that
tcu just put out a report that,
you know, American airline
contribute 71 billion dollars
to North Texas on 2024. The
airport did its own economic
impact. Study. And, you know,
for all airlines and for all
the construction, it
contributed 78 billion dollars
to North Texas. But about 55%,
42 million to 42 billion
Israeli directly attributable
to cargo. And so what we size,
we had Milton de La Paz who
heads up our Air Service
development, cargo team.
He was out talking to airlines
partners for some freighters.
And then we would kind of refer
them to this 3rd party entity
and say, hey, why don't you go
see if you can secure some some
space in one of these
warehouses because it's so
strategic for us. We want to
own it completely. We want to
maintain those relationships.
And so what this does is it
allows us to purchase the 3
buildings on the West side as
we develop this out. We also
get a control the ramp space,
which is really valuable for
all of these cargo carriers
as there bringing in cargo
cargo or they're unloading
their cargo, putting it into
North Texas or they're loading
it up, sending at, you know,
across the country or overseas.
It's really important. So we
approached Pirlo jus we did our
own analysis. The internal rate
of return is 15.7% for us.
We are negotiating a purchase
price. Just under 100 million
dollars. But again, because
we voluntarily went to pro low.
Just they had a few asks.
And so we're asking for you to
do 2 things when it comes to
the international cargo
buildings. First that you
designate it as an eligible,
Pete, that project, but second
upper low just has other leases
on the airport. They have 10
non aeronautical leases.
They've asked for some
extensions on those and anytime
we grant extensions on leases
over 40 years, it does require
both the cities of Fort Worth
as well as Dallas to approve
those Lisa. So we would ask
that you Rennes the up ability
to extend leases. Now they're
going to continue to make
payments to the airport.
These are buildings that they
own and operate today have
tenants. So that would be the
the ask for you on that.
So happy to answer any specific
questions you MAY have on the
Internet. Thank you, counselor
Peoples.
So what is Pirlo just what are
they? What's the extension is
conform these leases.
>> So I can bring up Kevin
Haas, who is head of our
commercial development. The
kind of manages more that
portfolio that okay. Answer
that question specifically.
>> Air Park and City Council.
They are requesting to 10 year
extension options. Ok?
Any other questions for Kevin
o'Brien? Tickets are first
rate. I think. Thank you,
mayor, in skimming and with us
right now, source Council
action is concerned. I think
it's instructive to say this
publicly.
For the physical certification.
There's no impact on material
impact on city. Fox. Correct.
Any other comments? Thank you.
I appreciate it. So for an xp
pick project in Ghana.
>> Bring back up. Kevin
Hostler, vice PRESIDENT Of
commercial development to talk
about the Hyatt Regency.
>> So this next item is the
Hyatt Regency dfw Airport
purchase transaction and the
request a designated as a
pefect eligible project.
So this transaction, as Brian
mentioned, was approved by the
Peeping board of directors on
JULY 29th and the airport board
on AUGUST 6th for background,
the Hyatt Regency and let me
advance the slide.
The high region season, hotel
located on dfw Airport
immediately adjacent to
Terminal c. It's not a
long-term lease with Woodlake
hr dfw Hotel owner, llc and the
least comments back in 1986.
And has 59 years of term
remaining. If all the options
are exercised.
So keep it currently owns and
operates. 3 of the 4 hotels
located on the airport as Brian
mentioned. And this presents a
really strategic opportunity
for people to acquire the
Regency and ultimately own all
4 hotels on the airport.
Under the transaction with Lake
will sign a lease to pick
people assume the hotel
management agreement. Police
will be amended to provide that
people will pay additional rent
to the board for any debt
service issued and also to
designate this as an eligible
perfect project. As I
mentioned, there's a not to
exceed price of 193.6, 5
million. Happy to answer any
questions on this one. Any
questions council.
Next. We have Paul Time.
He's legal counsel for the
airport.
Live at this very quick.
We have a code change. We need
to approve international
Parkway. The spine road up.
The middle of the airport is
very, very busy.
>> We conducted a traffic study
with all the construction going
on, turning left exits and a
right exit but the normal
airport traffic as well as all
the pastor traffic. It is too
busy to be 55 miles an hour.
Reduce that from 55 to 45.
And we're asking you to amend
our appendix one to our code of
rules and regulations to
accomplish that. COUNCILMAN
Back.
>> What's the cost of a
speeding ticket at dfw? We're
just not asking for me, but
for other folks. Yeah, Frank,
yeah. Seating tickets and
international parkway. Go to
the Grapevine, Municipal Court
and that depends on the judge
and the.
>> And I'm just thinking about
those early mornings and
running late to fly fell.
>> There will there will be a
period of adjustment for the
public that is accustomed to 55
miles an hour. Okay. All right.
Thank you. Thank you, Paul.
>> Council. That's the
conclusion of our defeat
airport updates. We thank you,
gentlemen, for being here
today. Showing no, you missed
this very much.
Council. Next step is a
presentation of proposed
economic development agreement
with Carrier Corporation U.S.
Brianna Brown. It's gonna walk
us through it.
Thank you, mayor. Good morning.
Mayor and council city manager
and city leadership staff.
My name is Breanna Brown and
the assistant director of
economic development here at
the city of Fort Worth and very
excited to share with you.
An update on Project j which
is Carrier Corporation, a name.
We are all likely very familiar
with as they tend to heat and
cool our spaces that we enjoy.
>> Company overview Carrier
Corporation. Is a global leader
in intelligent climate and
energy solutions.
>> They are based their U.S.
Headquarters, space and Palm
Beach Gardens, Florida. They
operate in over 150 countries
with approximately 47,000
employees worldwide. The
project that we're going to
talk about today represents
the largest single facility
investment that carrier has
made in their history. It's the
first investment of this size
in the United States. Since the
1990's. So we've got a huge
opportunity here with this
potential project.
Carrier is considering the
development of an advanced
manufacturing facility to
support customer demand and
inventory management and those
commercial and industrial
customers in the United States.
The new facility will include a
variety of operations,
including manufacturing,
warehousing engineering
operations, testing and
administrative functions.
We do have an opportunity here
with this project for the
additional recruitment of
suppliers to carry or carrier
has expressed a commitment in
trying to recruit some of its
own suppliers to them. Space is
in close proximity to their
location, potential location
here in Fort Worth. So there's
potential for quite a bit of
upside with this project as
well.
Company commitments for this
project. Again, they are
proposing to build an advanced
manufacturing facility with the
minimum capital investment of
433.8 million by DECEMBER of
2028. That does represent
36 million in real property
construction. They are looking
at a location that's currently
under construction in alliance.
So that's why you'll see a
little bit lower. Real property
investment. But 397 million in
business. Personal property for
the finish out of this
potential facility. They are
proposing a minimum of 495 new
full-time jobs by 2029 with a
minimum average wage of 75,000
that equates to approximately
260 million additional payroll
for the city of Fort Worth over
the course of the 7 year term.
As I mentioned, project
location is at 15. 0, 1,
distributions drive an alliance
in council district 10. This
property is currently under
construction. You can see a
rendering of it here. This will
be located next door to usher
in a project that you all are
very familiar with, just
celebrated their grand opening
a couple of weeks ago.
Potential impact of this
project carriers, the largest
company in the United States.
Again, as I mentioned at the
beginning of the print
presentation of family, a
family known name, they provide
the opportunity to enhance our
manufacturing cluster. They are
in a target industry area for
the city of Fort Worth. And one
thing that I'm really excited
about with Kerry in particular
is their focus on their
employees and employee culture.
And they really set themselves
apart with the way that they
invest in education for their
employees. And then also
excellent benefits, packages
that really make them stand out
against their competitors.
They also have a proven track
record of community engagement
and their current locations.
And so I think we're looking
at are opportunity for a really
excellent corporate citizen for
the city of Fort Worth as well.
Competitive landscape. We are
in competition with 3 other
states for this project.
All 3 of those states to offer
significant tax advantages that
we do not in the state of
Texas. And so the incentives
that we are proposing to today
do play a significant role and
the decision making for this
company.
Our proposed incentive terms
Texas Enterprise Zone program
nomination. This would qualify
or we are recommending a double
jumbo project recommendation
which would give them an
opportunity for maximum
incentive of 2.5 million
dollars from the state as well
as a 7 year tax abatement
agreement for up to 60% of
incremental taxes on real and
ppp, of course, this project
would be subject to all of the
performance requirements that
are consistent with all of the
projects that we bring to you,
including minimum capital
investment jobs and average
wages.
So in summary, we're looking at
a 4, 4, 133 million dollar
investment. 36 million of that
being in real property. 397
being in ppp for creation of
495 jobs with average wages
of $75,000.
Proposing a 7 year 60% tax
abatement. That would provide
an estimated incentives of 10.9
million dollars. That's a 0.7
million in today's dollars.
2% city participation and a
private to public ratio of just
about 50 to one.
City would be cash positive by
year. One of this incentive
and we are looking at net new
taxes to the city over the term
of this agreement of 7.3
million, which is 3.8 million
in today's dollars.
Staff's recommendation for next
steps we would like to bring
this agreement as well as the
nomination for the Texas
Enterprise Zone program.
To you at your meeting on
SEPTEMBER. 15th.
And with that, I am happy to
answer any questions. We do
also have representation from
the company with us in the
audience today. So definitely
want to thank them for being
here. And he is also available
to you as well for any
questions that you MAY have.
Any questions council.
Thank you and your team for
working so hard. You can
actually get.
Okay. We have a presentation on
the 2026 Bond project schedule.
i believe APRIL is here to walk
us through.
Good morning. Mayor and Perez
Eskom. Yes, your capital
projects officer with the 4th
lab. I leave the capital
infrastructure strategy team at
4th lap and this is part of
the mid-year investment that
city manager Chapa.
>> Made as part of fiscal year
26. We are toss to really focus
on the infrastructure strategy
for both from a technical
sense, but also from a budget
and preparation, fiscal sense.
So part of our portfolio today
is on the 2026 Pond Program
and which will be able to
provide an update on the
program itself as well as the
schedule. So where will run
through the purpose background,
introduce bond program controls
as well as the bond program
delivery schedule as well as
next steps.
The purpose of state's
presentation is to really
provide that update of the 2026
bond program as well as ongoing
efforts to centralize
reporting. And this also
includes the project delivery
schedules. Today. You have a
packet in front of you that
kind of outlines all of our
various projects and city
council will consider a
recommendation today to
appropriate the extendable
commercial paper program for
the 2026 Pond Program.
So a bit of background as we
know, the 845 million dollar
bond program, this voter
authorized on MAY second 2026.
Now in a typical timeline for
bond. Issuance are friends with
U.S. Treasury, the division
with your responsibile for the
administration of that city
dad, which would occur over
East series of general purpose
spawn sales with in this case,
the first spawn sale would be
expected in summer of 2027.
That is quite some time to kind
of kick in some funds to be
able to begin project delivery,
which is why the Treasury team
has established extendable
commercial paper program and
this allows us as the city to
begin funding projects within
months. Voter approval. So at
for transparency, the first at
the ecp was first established
in 2022. In the amount
authorized up to 300 million
and recently on AUGUST. 11th,
you authorized an increase to
that ecp program up to
845 million and what this
allows us to basically do.
And the way that I like to look
at it, you're a big fan of
Spiderman and Uncle Ben.
One said with great power comes
great responsibility. You have
2 options. Typically the ecp
program of this size, you can
find an appropriate all the
funds all at once. And that
kind of leads a murky area.
You don't really know where the
project facing is occurring
or we can establish bond
program controls. And this
allows us to begin transferring
budget based on actual project
facing and cash flow.
Appropriation need with.
This allows us from a
centralized standpoint is to
be able to really begin that
project. The reporting, where
are we in design 30, 60, 90%
all the way through. Where are
we on right-of-way acquisition
utility Clarence, as well as
construction and also gives us
insight on project management
of as well as construction
inspection. So what we have
been doing throughout this
entire summer time frame is
really working as the ci asking
for a lap with all the various
departments t bw part Pnd.
All that showed on there.
You MAY notice that library and
fire and and it's not currently
shown. That is because pmd
works with their internal
clients to be able to deliver,
say fire stations are libraries
are for code compliance.
The animal care shelter, but
all in all with this allows us
to do is really establish that
baseline understanding where we
can monitor project's status.
Completion rates elevate
horizon issues before waiting.
Way too long until you know
something comes up as well as
provide the overall oversight
from a larger sense.
So with that being said, we
have managed to kind of come
together and develop this one
pdf right here as is shown
where we can basically provide
for each one of our projects.
What this design phases in the
timing, the right-of-way land
acquisition construction and in
some instances if their impact,
the program's established.
Now, there is some fine print
at the bottom of this page.
And I really want to point out
that the state baseline
schedule a lot of this
information is sort of what
the department's pull together
as there, you know, best
understanding at this time, at
least that up until design or
construction contract. There is
a shunt occurs.
In fiscal year, 27. What we can
already ascertain is that there
will be about 104 based
designed right of way contract
authorization to really focus
on delivering projects
throughout the fiscal year.
And it's broken down by
quarter. But we can also show
is an understanding of
preconstruction or construction
based contracting. Now
preconstruction and design can
kind of occur on the same time.
If you have a vertical facility
sometimes are delivered through
see Mars, which is known as
construction manager at risk
and that pretty construction
activity can include pretty
authorization are pretty
requisition of certain products
or as well as construct ability
reviews, which is why you might
see some of these numbers
overlap for some of the
projects. Overall, we have 156
pond projects as of today.
And I say as of today, because
there are some flexible buckets
that are in the bond program
as well as some matches that
MAY increase the number of
projects as the program
continues. So think about open
space. Think about some of the
sidewalk related projects and
and so forth.
So carrying around a piece of
paper and COUNCILMAN Nettles, I
see you highlighting earlier,
which is great. We want you
to ease. That's right. But what
we have done and this is really
great. A great charge from city
manager Chapa and really
providing that transparency
for you as City Council to be
able to carry dashboard where
you can always find the latest
and greatest on all of these
projects and what this can with
this dashboard that allows you
to have is to be able to count
to toggle by proposition and
within your council district.
You can also toggle by
proposition as well as have an
understanding of the
approximate project facing by
timeline. We are providing this
by fiscal year quarter and we
do plan to issue out quarterly
updates because, you know,
capital delivering things start
to happen. And so we want to be
able to have that. You can
always put your found and have
this level of data.
Also, part of the dashboard
is a program exhibit where you
have a geospatial interactive
exhibit where you can actually
select a given project,
understand the project name as
well as the location and you
can toggle by your respective
council district and it will
highlight the projects that
are within that area. Now,
there are some projects that
are not included in there and
those are related to some of
the bucket category projects,
which as the program continues,
we'll be updating this level
of information.
So next steps in this case,
we spoke earlier about the ecp
program and the appropriation
aspect of it.
City Council will still
continue to authorize or costs
related to design or
construction project projects
as well as right away
acquisition. So you will always
be informed of the related
contracting.
We are also progressing towards
a bond program website so that
we can move away from the
dashboard aspect and we can
have far more robust
information by projects.
We have a full project page
and that will be expected in
early 2027 forward lab will
continue to complete a book or
leave on project reporting and
that will be issued to the city
manager's office. And with that
mayor, I yield the floor.
Thank you, APRIL. Very
impressive. Any questions or
comments from Councilmembers,
Chris, please.
>> This is awesome.
>> Thank you. So make it a lot
easier for us to communicate
with her to constituents.
Thank you.
>> I'm curious. This MAY be a
longer-term because so many
people got familiar my 4th at
the risk. A shunt internally
with staff about how to turn
that into more than just a
reporting tool. So that I guess
my my thought was if their bond
projects can live on the app
and at least click on, it MAY
not be as detailed as what's
here and that's a much
longer-term project. But I've
noticed lately people are and
they'll take pictures of a sign
of whatever sent water projects
going on and Fort Worth and
they'll turn those in as rather
than actually, Anderson, with
the full body project is about.
So just a thought. Very
impressive. I'm sure this took
an incredible amount of work
from the entire team.
>> Maybe we can. And at a link.
Sure at the very top accuse you
have your bond projects so they
see a sign they can go to that
Lincoln find the been project
yet. Very impressive that we
have this up and running.
This is something I've always
wanted to do. Another
technology. The city's
capabilities and our staff or
have the ability to do it.
So. Appreciate all very much.
Thank you.
>> Okay. Our next up is budget
responses and updates with
Christian sentence.
All right. Good morning.
So I guess Jay and I can tag
team this. We don't have a
formal presentation this
morning. But like I mentioned
Friday, we have this place.
Holder.
>> Item in case there are
comments questions follow-ups
from council related to the
fiscal year, 27 budget process.
I have one and I I don't need a
budget response for any amount
will be sufficient or if you
have the answer today. One of
the things that I'm concerned
about in the Code Department
and our development services
actually don't remember which
I think it's code that this was
housed in. But we've been
working on the new and
door-to-door vendor program
that benefit Haitian and
registration program. And so
>> I'm just concerned that
because it's new.
That it's not budgeted or we
don't have positions available
for it. So I just want to make
sure the Jay has that answer.
Okay.
Yes, ma'am. We did budget
forward. Okay. But 30, 30,000.
>> Dollars. Okay. Than 30,000
out. We thought it was just
going to be a neutral. Neutral.
Okay. That's fine. But we also
gone and ministry with current
staff. Okay. Thank you. And I
did have a light bulb go off
yesterday and that's we talk
to budget workshops ago.
We talked about the alleyway
mowing.
Talk about a compromise or not
in the Cup.
We didn't get a solution to
that. And it wasn't part of our
ads on Friday. So when you get
council's feedback. On that, I
think it's about 330,000 3.20,
dollars. We can try to squeeze
it in without changing the tax
rate. We can increase the tax
rate by 0, 3 because it's 3, 1,
100's, the pain to make that
up. Just wanted to get the
council's feedback because it
did. We just missed that as we
went through that process.
>> We squeeze it in without
raising. I mean, like is that
a squeeze? Double amount?
>> We'll have to. We'll talk to
Dave about that was the is he's
putting his head down, looked
>> it. 19 chair, but little
bit. We'll figure out of there.
So Jay was
then then because I wasn't
going that was a cop was going
to 3 rather than them before we
went from Florida to we're
going to go to 3, I think seems
like that was the consensus
Councilmember Hall.
Yes, Israel is coming. So you
said that would be 300,000.
It's about 311,000. I think
those numbers, 324,000 mean, I
think that the sister cities, I
mean, that's under 1000.
If we look at that is, well,
I mean, just my thoughts on
that day. Anyone else on budget
response right now?
Thank you, Christine. We
appreciate. You know, I'm
sorry. I did have
with that.
>> looking at the health care
administrative charge. No, and
it's departments are paying
that. But it went up a
30 Million. Another things like
now, one, 14, maybe just an
answer like what exactly that
is that the department's or
pain? Because I know that put a
squeeze on them. That's maybe
just breaking down Barnes to
offer like where Marines could
understand it to be
outstanding. So colors and
graphics were great. I think we
can bring we can send out the
presentation from JUNE. This.
It's basically we had cars go
up in a health care.
>> And it's all mostly tied to
actual. High cost. Final.
Amounts for costs for it for.
For care overall. But we can we
can get that
to you.
>> Ok, and maybe if we can
explain how because I know
there's some changes with the
gop. Some of the prescriptions
and the changes that we
recently made, how that effects
reduced it by 14 Million.
So that increases that being
reduced okay would have been
larger. Otherwise. Thank you.
>> To add a question, we a
tight speaking, speaking of the
gop ones, we took them out of
that covered.
Policy are cover medication and
our policies. But there was a
direction from council to bring
back some sort of program that
pay for it. So where we're at.
>> That's in the projected cost
for the overall where we would
be a copay. A piece were
actually.
We'll be off a side of the
other benefits package. It's
paid by the employee, but the
city will rebate that amount.
Okay. I think we're one.
Yeah. We'll come back with the
actual full program before we
vote on the budget.
No like it. I think they're
working on it should cap and
toward the end of the month.
>> So but it will definitely
happen before OCTOBER. What it
says, SEPTEMBER one to OCTOBER
one that that coverage okay.
So it will. But we will have
our employees will have
something before just won.
The funding is in the budget to
cover that copay. Okay. The
that everyone should have the
whole program. You know, the
dollar amount was.
>> Thank you. Could see it.
Click an overview on the sales
tax collection and where those
dollars go. I'm getting some
questions after budget meetings
on. We've had an increase in
population increase in sales
tax revenue. And I think we
just need some clarity on where
those dollars go and how
they're spent. So for the next
session, if we get a breakdown
on that, and I think also to
understand how much sales tax
we've collected. I looked at me
like the last 5 years. So you
can see how that revenues
changed. Sure, we can do that.
Future agenda items on the
budget. Thank you. Cause you
Any future agenda items on
future work. Sessions for
council. Yes, consumer knows
just something.
Yes, that's for sure. I have a
couple, please.
>> Like to get an update
any of the smoke shops
operating under just general
commercial CEOs. And that was
an issue before. But I don't
think we ever got an update
back on that. Just make sure
they're operating legally
because I know there's at least
5 or 6 that word in a fight in
district 4 that were not
and I also see Adam.
Reducing speed limits. I was
going to say 20 miles per hour,
but Penn State laws against
that. The 25 miles in all
residential neighborhoods,
Senate becoming more and more
of a concern throughout.
I mean, I'm sure all the city,
but specifically district 4
neighborhoods where the speed
limits are. 35, that's
way too high. So what the
process would look like just to
reduce that we talk about the
health commissioner charged in
the last one's going to big one
I don't know if we staff just
to conduct just an initial
feasibility assessment, nothing
to indep just to find out if
there's enough there. There
to do something similar to what
Dallas and darted with their
general mobility program we're
about to ask residents for
street maintenance fee. And so
looking at what Dallas and Art
did them in Dallas is getting
200 million dollars back over
6 years from there from their
sales tax, which is great segue
I don't know that. Look like in
the city of Fort Worth, but I
think, you know, just a 5%
return of those taxes would net
around 6 million annually for
street maintenance, which I
think would be outstanding.
Especially seeing as how
training measured as received
52% of its revenue from sales
tax. Again, back to COUNCILMAN
Councilmen Hills point
so just had a guest feasibility
on that. What that would look
like. I think it would take
a lot more to do anything more
broader than that. As far as
implementing an actual cause,
actual legal term.
There's a much larger. There's
a much longer legal term.
I don't think we can really get
there in the city yet. But if
you just the city used to
collect a street rental fee and
then over the years as
>> Trinity Metro's cost went up
and would come to the city
Council passed. For those kind
of cost. The city actually just
collecting that fee. It could
go back to that point. Maybe
if we just got word on that
that be out saying thank you.
>> The city of tail on a
council member of our stores to
request a look at lower speed
limits. As you said,
neighborhood streets right?
And Craig Residential
neighborhood up atw. Remember
this years back prior city
Council looked at this, I think
reducing it to 30 of memory
serves. So we ought to pull
that up to an ad that 2
counselors, torso request.
Few here, 3 first, I'd like to
I understand we do inspections
final inspections for a ceo
for homes in particular.
But this pay ever go to
commercial properties. How we
look at the exterior of the
property in particular think
development services where this
retaining walls in a particular
neighborhood, the falling
before the House is even sold.
But how inspection is done.
And just to clear transparency
about that, what that looks
like and are we actually
inspecting the exterior
properties?
Second, I have had some
questions about payouts from
the risk fund and we had one
today or we're going to prove
one which is fine. I'm going to
go into support but
understanding how are ris fun
works, how it's funded. And
in particular, if we have to
hire outside counsel what that
looks like and then costs
associated with that. So we get
a full picture
on that. And then the 3rd is
mayor, thanks for a couple
weeks ago in Boddington at
night, a sit in a meeting about
your good natured program and
what that looks like across the
city.
I think it might be helpful
to haven't seen this. I think
it over the last 4 years since
that's been going what the
property acquisition looks like
that fits into that. So we know
in districts where it's been
acquired and just the property,
et cetera, what that looks
like. So people have a better
picture of we're we're crying
property. What that looks like
to.
>> Tack on 10 counts of a large
force request and take a look
at history on the tree metro
relationship. It was like 90 90
said and they were paying up
to 25% of the sales tax back
to street infrastructure needs.
So if we just get an overview
on why that changed, we can
have that well, but the economy
was like prior to that. And
then what we are now in the be
helpful.
>> First, I want to say that
I'm very fortunate to have 2
community centers within
district 6 to serve our our and
communities. Really well.
I just had some questions at
the beginning of the summer.
Had people reaching out because
the capacity of summer
programming pose as summer
ahead, people talking about,
you know what those those
programs consisted of and
things of that nature and we've
had a lot of conversation about
budget in part and things of
that nature. So I would like
to know if there's a system
that the community centers have
in place to receive feedback
regarding summer programming.
And and what systems do we
utilize to track the metrics
and data pertaining to that
programming.
>> Any other future agenda
items Council? Okay. We are
adjourned.
