[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.
