1
00:00:09,140 --> 00:00:18,760
Colony to order. Our first item of business is an invocation, and with us tonight is Pastor

2
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:27,400
Zeke Trezevant with the Hope, Faith, I'm sorry, with the Faith, Hope and Love Fellowship. Please

3
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,840
join us in prayer or lead us in prayer. Yes.

4
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,480
First of all, good evening and thank you

5
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:38,500
for the invitation. We certainly do appreciate it, and I hate to turn my back on you, but

6
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:42,180
such it is as it is. If you don't mind, let's go to prayer.

7
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,780
Definitely, Father God, Lord, we just come before you as your servants, Father. And Lord,

8
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:50,920
we pray a special blessing on these, your special servants for the city of the colony

9
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,380
that they may be able to do your will, your way, and then by following your word,

10
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,060
Father, we ask that you just touch these, the citizens of the colony and help us

11
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:05,900
said collectively and individually to give you glory through works of service. Allow us

12
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:10,560
to be obedient to the things that you've already ordained and ask us to do. Continue to strengthen

13
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,020
us and camp your angels all around us that we might be able to be good servants to you.

14
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:20,500
And Father, we worship you. We honor you. We thank you for the opportunity just to

15
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:25,460
be of service because you will have service to us when you died on Calvary's cross.

16
00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:29,420
So we thank you right now. It's in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior

17
00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:34,800
you, we pray, amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you and we look forward to having you join

18
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,020
us again. Thank you. Everyone please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

19
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,020
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

20
00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:50,630
Worcester Stamps, one nation under God, indivisible.

21
00:01:53,090 --> 00:01:59,910
Now the Texas flag. Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state

22
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:02,610
Under God, one and indivisible.

23
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:04,050
Thank you.

24
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:13,480
We move on to items of community interest.

25
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,680
We receive a presentation from the library regarding upcoming events and activities.

26
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,720
Welcome for the first time in 2022.

27
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:23,880
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

28
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:24,480
Good evening.

29
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:26,040
I am Megan Charters.

30
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,080
I'm the library director at the Collin Public Library.

31
00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:31,200
I'm just going to share about the activities and events going on this month

32
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,700
and the beginning of February.

33
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,020
So our early literacy activities are in full swing.

34
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:40,780
We have storytime on Tuesdays at 10.15 a.m.,

35
00:02:40,780 --> 00:02:44,280
music and movement storytimes on Thursdays at 10.15 a.m.

36
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,100
We have a monthly storytime at Chick-fil-A in the colony

37
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,900
where we sing, do crafts and have stories.

38
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400
That's the first Monday of every month at 10.15 a.m.

39
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,300
And starting in February, we are having our discovery play workshop.

40
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,420
This is through a grant we received in 2019.

41
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:05,080
We put on a workshop for parents and caregivers and their very young children age one through

42
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,580
three to connect and play and we bring in community resource professionals so they can

43
00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:11,100
ask questions about child development.

44
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:15,980
Registration is required for this and you can do that at tcpl.ticketweep.com.

45
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,340
For family activities, we have our story walks continuing this year.

46
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,040
We started this last year when a lot of people were needing to get out of the house

47
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,040
but didn't have the place to go.

48
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:29,400
So we set up story walks around the colony.

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,720
we use the local parks. We take a storybook in English and Spanish, put it on

50
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,720
boards around the park so they can interact with the story. We have

51
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,820
interactive prompts for them and enjoy nature at the same time. So that is this

52
00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:44,080
Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We'll have it up at Slate Baker Park.

53
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,460
For teen

54
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:50,940
activities, we have a couple activities this month. We have make your own mug

55
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:54,620
on Thursday January 20th. You can make your own coffee mug, design it, and we'll

56
00:03:54,620 --> 00:03:59,320
bake it for you in the oven. We have a take-home kit where you can use an

57
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,460
old book and turn the pages into a book bouquet of roses. That is take home so you can register

58
00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:08,340
starting Monday February 7th and you can pick it up at our drive-through window or at our

59
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:13,920
circulation desk. And we also have team cupcake decorating on February 17th after Valentine's

60
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,040
Day.

61
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,660
For adult activities, we just started registration today for AARP Foundation Tax Aid.

62
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,480
This is free tax assistance provided by trained AARP volunteers to assist in 2021

63
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:34,180
21 income tax returns. There's no age or income limit on this. You can sign up for free. You

64
00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:40,080
just need to call our reference desk at 972-625-1900, extension 3 will set you up with an appointment.

65
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,980
You can either drop it off or they can do it in person for you this year. And that

66
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:45,200
runs February through April.

67
00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:51,700
And we are also going with Spice Club again. If you don't

68
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:58,940
know what Spice Club is at the library, the first rule of Spice Club is try something

69
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:05,140
new. We do want to talk about Spice Club. We believe that learning includes trying new

70
00:05:05,140 --> 00:05:10,120
things. So every month we have samples of two different spices from different regions or

71
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,480
cuisines around the world. In January we went back to basics with black truffle sea salt

72
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:21,520
and pink peppercorns that sold out today. It's all gone. But next month we will have

73
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,000
our theme is love it or leave it for lavender and licorice root. So you can register at

74
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,440
at tcpl.ticketleaf.com.

75
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:30,540
The third Monday of every month we'll have new spices.

76
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:33,480
And that is partially sponsored

77
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,920
by Friends of the Collin Public Library.

78
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,660
As is one of our new classes, Sewing Basics.

79
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,080
We have hands-on sewing instruction for sewing machines.

80
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:44,020
Our next class is Saturday, February 12th

81
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:45,600
from 10, 15 to 12, 15.

82
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,980
And you can register online at tcpl.ticketleaf.com.

83
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,200
And our continuing computer education classes

84
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,540
are just ongoing through spring.

85
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,920
In January and February,

86
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:04,620
We have computer basics, saving and finding files, Excel functions and formulas, Word basics

87
00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:10,440
and Excel sort and filter. And these are all registration required, tcpl.ticketleaf.com.

88
00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:13,340
You get very hands-on instruction in these classes.

89
00:06:16,340 --> 00:06:17,840
And we have a monthly book club.

90
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:21,900
This month's pick is Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz. You can find this on our shelves

91
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:25,660
in the library or through our digital Hoopla app. You can get the eBook or the audiobook.

92
00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:30,100
book. We meet virtually for this and it's going to be Thursday, February 3rd from 12 to 1 p.m.

93
00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:37,530
And we are doing a reading challenge in 2022. It's a nonfiction challenge. So every month

94
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:41,830
we're challenging readers to read a different new e-class. So January is the zeroes. This

95
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:45,950
is general information in computer science and libraries fall under general information.

96
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:50,570
So our pick this month is the library book by Susan Orlean and this is available to

97
00:06:50,570 --> 00:06:56,430
check out at the library. And it is National Hobby Month. So our resource spotlight

98
00:06:56,430 --> 00:07:00,690
are our craft and hobby resources. With your library card, these are all free.

99
00:07:01,190 --> 00:07:04,730
CraftSea and CreativeBug are video-on-demand craft tutorials and

100
00:07:04,730 --> 00:07:09,150
projects. And then Hobbies and Crafts Resource Center is linked to hobby and

101
00:07:09,150 --> 00:07:13,450
craft magazines and projects for that. So we invite you to come to the library

102
00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:18,510
to enrich, engage and explore. We'll see you next month. Thank you so much.

103
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:25,700
Any other questions about library activities? While we're on the topic

104
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:35,460
of community events, community enrichment, community interest. Hopefully everybody will

105
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:41,960
be interested in what we have to show here. Those of you who may have walked in, you might

106
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:49,380
have seen a big trophy and here is the award-winning trophy-winning dance from our own Joe Perez

107
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:55,360
at the United Way's Dancing with the Stars fundraiser this past Saturday.

108
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Joe, you want to walk us through this at all?

109
00:08:18,270 --> 00:08:23,110
All right, well, we appreciate you stepping up and doing that and representing the city.

110
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:29,290
and is this a are you have you already made your tours with the trophy I heard

111
00:08:29,290 --> 00:08:42,750
you brought it to the directors meeting already and you're saying you

112
00:08:42,750 --> 00:08:43,230
You don't have a key?

113
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:44,590
I don't have a key.

114
00:08:44,730 --> 00:08:45,370
We don't have a key.

115
00:08:45,510 --> 00:08:45,530
Okay.

116
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:48,550
You might have trusted with a key in the case.

117
00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:49,870
Take the key to the seat.

118
00:08:50,590 --> 00:08:50,990
Congratulations.

119
00:08:51,390 --> 00:08:55,510
Well thank you and congratulations and definitely a great job.

120
00:08:59,530 --> 00:09:01,950
Is this like the Stanley Cup?

121
00:09:04,590 --> 00:09:09,510
I officially retired as of this event, the end of it on Saturday night.

122
00:09:09,510 --> 00:09:14,450
But I do want to say that myself and 20 other dancers, including my partner,

123
00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:18,910
raised over $230,000 for the United Way for this year.

124
00:09:18,910 --> 00:09:19,570
$230,000?

125
00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:19,970
Yeah.

126
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:25,010
So that, and that helps the United Way reach their million-dollar goal since the,

127
00:09:25,170 --> 00:09:27,030
since they started this event 10 years ago.

128
00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:30,390
So this is the 10th annual tribute for United Way.

129
00:09:30,610 --> 00:09:34,870
So, and thank you all to the council who showed up and in support of me.

130
00:09:35,850 --> 00:09:38,390
It was pretty nerve-racking, but yeah.

131
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:40,970
I didn't fall and I didn't drop her, so that's good.

132
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:41,570
Yeah.

133
00:09:42,050 --> 00:09:49,330
So since you're not going to defend your title, I've heard that Councilman Wade is thinking

134
00:09:49,330 --> 00:09:51,710
about trying to take up the mantle for next year.

135
00:09:51,830 --> 00:09:54,230
Well, you know, there's several people who expressed interest in me today.

136
00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:56,230
I mean, I thought that they could do a better job.

137
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:58,550
So I may be nominating some other folks, too.

138
00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:03,850
Thanks a lot, Joe.

139
00:10:04,010 --> 00:10:04,910
We appreciate it.

140
00:10:07,070 --> 00:10:12,130
We move on to citizen's input, Tina, do we have any cards?

141
00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:18,310
There's anyone that would wish to speak on citizen's input on an item, not on the agenda.

142
00:10:18,510 --> 00:10:20,590
You might fill out a card.

143
00:10:21,690 --> 00:10:22,310
Come to the mic.

144
00:10:22,590 --> 00:10:22,850
All right.

145
00:10:23,150 --> 00:10:23,550
Seeing none.

146
00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:32,390
We'll move on to our work session, which the only thing we have here is 3.1, Council

147
00:10:32,390 --> 00:10:37,410
to provide direction to staff regarding future agenda items? Are there any other agenda items

148
00:10:37,410 --> 00:10:40,950
that you would like covered in a future work session?

149
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:45,570
All right. Before I get to the consent

150
00:10:45,570 --> 00:10:54,370
agenda, just mention that Councilman Schrag is out ill tonight and we hopefully will

151
00:10:54,370 --> 00:10:57,950
see him here in our next meeting here in a couple weeks.

152
00:11:01,770 --> 00:11:03,610
Consent agenda, I will read

153
00:11:03,610 --> 00:11:12,430
off the items and then we will, council may pull an item. I will be pulling item 4.1.

154
00:11:14,610 --> 00:11:21,950
I'll read the rest of these into the record. Item 4.2, consider accepting Jennifer Simmons

155
00:11:21,950 --> 00:11:26,650

00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:30,890

4.6, consider approving a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a professional

163
00:11:58,270 --> 00:12:02,390
services agreement with Infinity Law and Landscape LLC for the purposes of

164
00:12:02,390 --> 00:12:07,130
contractual services throughout the city. Anyone wishing to pull an item other

165
00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:15,630
than 4.1? I'd like to pull 4.3. All right. We have item 4.1 and 4.3 pulled.

166
00:12:18,450 --> 00:12:18,490
The

167
00:12:18,490 --> 00:12:18,770
remaining.

168
00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:28,060
Second. Second from Mr. Wade. I think he snuck in there. Any other

169
00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:31,280
discussion. Council, please vote.

170
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:40,440
The rest of those items pass. I ask that item 4.1 be

171
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:46,360
pulled. This is, I'll read the record, I'll read the item in for the record. Consider

172
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:52,600
approving City Council regular session meeting minutes for January 4, 2022 and special session

173
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,880
meeting minutes for January 10th, 2022.

174
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,740
There's a correction in the minutes that we need to make

175
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:16,720
on the special session that we had on January 10th. We need to, for our appointments to

176
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:25,260
to keep the colony beautiful board for appointee Jenna Nalan that should read

177
00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:30,820
place seven rather than place four for her. So we need to make that correction.

178
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:40,000
And so I will accept a motion with that correction. Make a motion that we

179
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,680
improve the correction as stated.

180
00:13:45,730 --> 00:13:50,230
All right, so we would be approving the regular

181
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:55,330
session meeting minutes for the fourth to understand your motion correctly for

182
00:13:55,330 --> 00:14:00,970
the fourth and the corrected minutes for the tenth. Yes. Or as amended. As amended.

183
00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:06,170
Yes, the regular session meeting minutes on January 4th approve those as

184
00:14:06,170 --> 00:14:10,090
stated and the corrections to the special session meeting minutes for

185
00:14:10,090 --> 00:14:12,070
January 22, 2022.

186
00:14:12,290 --> 00:14:12,550
Seven.

187
00:14:18,450 --> 00:14:26,050
So we just, when we accept, when we passed the rest of the consent agenda, we created the vacancy in four.

188
00:14:26,610 --> 00:14:30,570
So we intended to put her in seven.

189
00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:31,470
That's how we do.

190
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:33,630
We have a motion and a second.

191
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:36,110
Any other discussion for item 4.1?

192
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:37,670
Council, please vote.

193
00:14:39,450 --> 00:14:40,310
That item passes.

194
00:14:44,430 --> 00:14:51,230
I think I just noticed there were some changes in dates regarding the compensation.

195
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:57,910
If you look at item C on 4.3, it indicates that compensation should begin on February

196
00:14:57,910 --> 00:14:59,370
26, 2021.

197
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,800
And go through January 28th, 2022. However, the contract in the agreement is effective

198
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:13,740
February 1st, 2022, and extends through January 31st of 2023. So it's a change in the compensation.

199
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,300
Those of us that still write checks, you know, you make that date, you know, you get over into

200
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:24,460
January, you still put the previous year ahead. A similar thing with that where it had the

201
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:28,500
of the previous year's, year's still on there.

202
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:32,770
So that's the correction that needs to be

203
00:15:32,770 --> 00:15:40,170
made. That is correct. Make a motion that we, make a motion that we, excuse me, make a motion

204
00:15:40,170 --> 00:15:49,130
that we make a motion, make a motion to change the date from February 26, 2022 and to January

205
00:15:49,130 --> 00:15:53,750
January 28th, 2023, as stated by Ms. Hensweiler.

206
00:15:55,310 --> 00:15:56,010
Is there a second?

207
00:15:56,350 --> 00:15:56,930
I have a second.

208
00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:57,570
Excuse me.

209
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:58,170
Okay.

210
00:15:58,990 --> 00:16:00,690
We have a motion to second any discussion.

211
00:16:03,890 --> 00:16:05,710
Council, please vote on item 4.3.

212
00:16:07,570 --> 00:16:08,470
That item passes.

213
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:10,430
We're actually hoping Judy wouldn't find that.

214
00:16:10,570 --> 00:16:11,850
So then when Todd asked to campaign,

215
00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:13,290
he would be like, I'm sorry, man.

216
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:14,950
Great, messed up the date.

217
00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:15,630
You can't pay anymore.

218
00:16:15,630 --> 00:16:16,350
You can't pay anymore.

219
00:16:16,650 --> 00:16:16,910
Sorry.

220
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,320
All right, we'll move on to the regular agenda.

221
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Item 5.1 Discuss and consider an ordinance regarding a request for a site plan to allow

222
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,420
the construction of fire station number five on approximately 3.429 acre tract of land south

223
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:43,200
of the intersection 11 on road and Scotty's Lake Lane within plan development 18 also

224
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,720
known as the tribute plan development zoning district Mr. Williams.

225
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:50,700
Thank you Mr. Mayor and Council.

226
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:57,660
We do have a site plan application for the development of Fire Station 5 with us.

227
00:16:57,820 --> 00:17:03,080
We have our Chief to come in and tell us about the beginnings of the project.

228
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,520
Mayor, Councilor City Manager, thank you.

229
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,480
We're really excited about this obviously a long time coming.

230
00:17:10,020 --> 00:17:12,580
This will be our fifth and final fire station.

231
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:14,360
Just a brief overview.

232
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:17,720
We're going to build a two bay firehouse full service firehouse

233
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,680
and we're going to open it with an engine company, paramedic engine company.

234
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,860
I know in P&Z there was a couple questions about the level of service.

235
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:29,200
So this will be fully staffed, fire company with paramedics,

236
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,060
capable advanced life support, the only thing it can't do obviously is transport.

237
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:37,380
This will help greatly reduce our response times to that area.

238
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,240
Right now the average is 7 to 11 minutes and we'll cut those in half

239
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,980
when we get this open and and we've done a lot of work to make sure that that

240
00:17:46,980 --> 00:17:52,240
those things those numbers work out so we're excited about it and we've worked

241
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,380
with the tribute very closely to get this done I think we're gonna have a

242
00:17:56,380 --> 00:17:59,180
project they're all gonna be very proud of that will serve the colony for a

243
00:17:59,180 --> 00:18:06,320
long time. Are there any questions that I can answer for you before? Yes you

244
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,520
mentioned that decreasing the response time. We've talked about this

245
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:16,980
before, that residents out there should also see a small reduction in their insurance now

246
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:21,420
that we're going to be building this fire station closer to those homes because your

247
00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:28,780
insurance is based on, can be based on response times for local fire departments, so hopefully

248
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:29,260
you'll see.

249
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:31,460
Hopefully we had someone who knew anything about insurance.

250
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:32,760
I was just thinking.

251
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:33,920
If I knew somebody.

252
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,380
If I knew somebody.

253
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:35,980
Oh, wait a minute.

254
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,020
My insurance person's here.

255
00:18:37,020 --> 00:18:43,100
And most companies don't update changes like that till renewals, but yes, most people will

256
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:43,720
see that change.

257
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,280
And that with the ISO2 classification will help and then of course when this facility

258
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,020
is completed we'll look at the possibility of going to an ISO1, which predominantly

259
00:18:54,020 --> 00:18:54,760
helps commercial.

260
00:18:55,020 --> 00:18:58,580
Yes, the homeowners will certainly see the possibility of a benefit.

261
00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:02,530
Mr. Terry?

262
00:19:02,530 --> 00:19:03,250
Thank you.

263
00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:08,510
That is a really dream come true for me.

264
00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:10,650
I've been involved 10 years out there in the tribute.

265
00:19:10,930 --> 00:19:13,310
We had 30 homes all the way up to 2,000.

266
00:19:14,350 --> 00:19:16,350
And it's amazing what we've done.

267
00:19:16,570 --> 00:19:20,490
That is the best resort hotel community type in the state.

268
00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:22,730
Texas maybe everywhere. People love it.

269
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:24,910
I've yet to meet one person who has said,

270
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:26,530
I wish I had moved out here.

271
00:19:26,970 --> 00:19:29,410
And this will help so much on response time.

272
00:19:29,410 --> 00:19:37,090
The other thing I wanted to, I think, have you clarify is that we are building it with

273
00:19:37,090 --> 00:19:45,790
two bays, but we have set our plans up so we can enlarge and redesign it based on the

274
00:19:45,790 --> 00:19:51,010
way we're building it, so if we need to do some changes to it based on what's going

275
00:19:51,010 --> 00:19:51,910
on, we can do that.

276
00:19:51,970 --> 00:19:55,630
That was my understanding when I talked to Shannon at the P&Z meeting.

277
00:19:56,370 --> 00:20:02,570
Yeah, absolutely. And the most likely thing would be to add an ambulance for medical calls

278
00:20:02,570 --> 00:20:07,550
when the numbers justify that. But we do have the option of putting like an engine company,

279
00:20:07,710 --> 00:20:11,470
a truck company out there, you know, if we get some high-rise or mid-rise stuff. So,

280
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:16,750
yes, we certainly have the flexibility to do that. And that's, you know, the lot

281
00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:21,470
was kind of funny shape, but we believe that it's going to be plenty to provide service

282
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:24,570
for a long time out there and do the things that we need to do.

283
00:20:24,570 --> 00:20:26,190
It's also going to help the system.

284
00:20:26,370 --> 00:20:31,350
It's adding another fire company to the city, so it's going to reduce some of our dependence

285
00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:34,830
on our neighbors for mutual aid and those types of things.

286
00:20:34,930 --> 00:20:38,330
We have multiple calls when we have a working building fire.

287
00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:43,650
And we're looking at potentially subject to weather and those kind of elements by

288
00:20:43,650 --> 00:20:48,050
one year once we start digging and getting it going on.

289
00:20:48,050 --> 00:20:49,390
That's the hope.

290
00:20:49,390 --> 00:20:55,190
You know, right now with everything the way it is, but we're using a lot of the same people that we use for the firehouse for.

291
00:20:55,290 --> 00:21:04,350
We had great luck, so I believe it will get done as quickly as it can possibly get done, you know, depending on those factors that you mentioned that we have no control over.

292
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:07,510
That's great. Thank you.

293
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:13,630
You know, there are questions, Mr. Marks.

294
00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:15,370
So congratulations.

295
00:21:16,170 --> 00:21:16,710
Thank you, sir.

296
00:21:17,050 --> 00:21:18,270
Thank you for the support.

297
00:21:18,270 --> 00:21:23,350
And when you talk about ambulances, do we need another one at fire station number two?

298
00:21:24,830 --> 00:21:26,290
I knew it was coming.

299
00:21:27,490 --> 00:21:29,830
I feel pretty certain I won't stay there until I retire.

300
00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:34,430
That's why I chuckled before I pressed my microphone because I just had to say something.

301
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:40,510
You want to know, reciprocal agreement with the other cities and all,

302
00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:45,630
what effect would that have on that station if there was an issue on the north side,

303
00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:47,530
you know, a little Elm or Frisco and things?

304
00:21:47,850 --> 00:21:49,330
Well, it's going to be interesting.

305
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:52,010
You know, we won't really get into those talks

306
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:53,430
until it's near done.

307
00:21:53,930 --> 00:21:56,030
This is going to be very close to the Frisco border.

308
00:21:57,130 --> 00:21:59,030
So we have a great relationship.

309
00:21:59,270 --> 00:22:00,990
I mean, it's going to be positive,

310
00:22:01,210 --> 00:22:05,870
but exactly how that plays in, we don't exactly know yet.

311
00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:08,550
I mean, we're certainly willing to help whenever we can.

312
00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:11,690
And we certainly utilize a lot of help.

313
00:22:11,810 --> 00:22:14,070
So I think it's just going to enhance all of that

314
00:22:14,070 --> 00:22:16,670
and just make the working relationship stronger.

315
00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:21,170
I know that our relationship with fire departments

316
00:22:21,170 --> 00:22:23,610
and police departments are great with other cities too,

317
00:22:23,710 --> 00:22:26,590
so I wasn't questioning that type of thing,

318
00:22:26,670 --> 00:22:30,330
but just if you had to go somewhere north

319
00:22:30,330 --> 00:22:33,830
out of that station, does another fire station,

320
00:22:34,010 --> 00:22:35,990
somebody else come up there and kinda hang out?

321
00:22:36,350 --> 00:22:36,670
Yes.

322
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:37,110
Okay.

323
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:39,010
Yes, we have a time limit,

324
00:22:39,650 --> 00:22:42,270
but we have the small response vehicle

325
00:22:42,270 --> 00:22:44,610
that you gave us a few years back,

326
00:22:44,610 --> 00:22:48,970
and that's one of the primary purposes of that, is to move quickly, go up there and fill in

327
00:22:49,390 --> 00:22:55,450
if they're going to be gone for a while so that we try to keep everything with at least one apparatus in it.

328
00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:56,850
Good. All right. Thank you.

329
00:22:58,970 --> 00:23:06,730
One last quick, quick one here. I think also in over the years I've heard that the Frisco and

330
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:11,730
Lewisville have been really good about helping us when we needed more help than they needed help.

331
00:23:11,730 --> 00:23:17,350
So, in essence, we now maybe can do some of the payback for the help they gave us over

332
00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:19,330
and above what we were able to provide them.

333
00:23:19,490 --> 00:23:20,190
Is that the first thing?

334
00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:20,510
Absolutely.

335
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:24,830
We've seen that trend, I think we're at the point now where we're providing as much

336
00:23:24,830 --> 00:23:25,970
as we're receiving.

337
00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:30,590
I mean, we've really been able to step up with the growth, adding an ambulance and

338
00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:31,530
adding station 4.

339
00:23:32,070 --> 00:23:36,250
We're pretty much, you know, on a level.

340
00:23:36,610 --> 00:23:40,370
Yeah, we're able to take care of our own pretty much now, less dependent on help.

341
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:40,770
Right.

342
00:23:40,770 --> 00:23:44,790
And with that, unless there are other questions, comments, it would be an honor to make the

343
00:23:44,790 --> 00:23:49,070
motion to approve the additional FAR station number five.

344
00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:49,930
Second.

345
00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:51,870
We'll have a motion to second.

346
00:23:53,470 --> 00:23:55,350
Council, any further questions or discussion?

347
00:23:57,660 --> 00:23:58,000
All right.

348
00:23:58,220 --> 00:23:58,960
Council, please vote.

349
00:24:00,980 --> 00:24:01,380
Thank you.

350
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,220
That item passes.

351
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,660
Thank you, Chief.

352
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,360
Oh, I don't chance we get to do this, you know.

353
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:05,880
Yeah?

354
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,160
I'm excited.

355
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:08,300
It's going to look very nice.

356
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,540
All right, item 5.2 Discuss and consider an ordinance regarding a site plan application

357
00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:30,480
in the Live Oak Logistics Center Phase 2B, a multi-building commercial development located

358
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,860
on two tracks of land, totaling approximately 26.26 acres located west of the Northwest

359
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:43,880
Intersection of Live Oak Drive and Memorial Drive within Plan Development 19 and the Gateway Overlay District.

360
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Mr. Williams.

361
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:57,200
Thank you. The subject area is as reflected on the map here. The area highlighted in red is between two phases of the overall Live Oak

362
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:07,340
logistic center, phase 1A which was approved in 2020 and then 2A which was approved in 21.

363
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,580
This middle section is 2B.

364
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:16,900
The original concept plan reflected the development to occur over three phases.

365
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:23,780
The third phase was further broken down to incorporate phase 2A and 2B.

366
00:25:23,780 --> 00:25:31,060
This is the final site planning for the overall site, which is the area before you.

367
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:41,620
The original concept plan was as reflected, building E or building F was ultimately combined

368
00:25:41,620 --> 00:25:47,160
with building G to make a larger building, so it is not a part of phase two.

369
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,120
Phase two is building E and building D.

370
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:59,360
The overall square footage of the two buildings contains approximately 242,000 square feet

371
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:00,640
between the two buildings.

372
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,500
Both sit along Live Oak Drive.

373
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,840
The front building sits along Live Oak Drive and Memorial Drive.

374
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,900
There are multiple entrance points along each section feeding into the site.

375
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:20,220
the red represents the fire lanes encompassing the entirety of the site.

376
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:23,310
The

377
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:29,370
buildings will be developed with passenger and truck parking. All of the

378
00:26:29,370 --> 00:26:35,030
parking that is reflected on the site plan is consistent with the development

379
00:26:35,030 --> 00:26:41,030
needs as well as those that are required for in accordance with the PD, PD-19.

380
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:47,400
The landscape plan that was associated with the development reflects a

381
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,260
landscape buffer along the front portions of the development as well as perimeter

382
00:26:52,260 --> 00:27:01,840
screening along the periphery of the site. There is also an adjacent 250 foot

383
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,080
landscape buffer, well not landscape buffer, but Greenbell buffer that separates

384
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,920
the development of the site to the adjacent residential development ridge

385
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,760
point to the north as required as a part of the original development or the

386
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,800
original amendment to the PD. That was to remain untouched throughout all of the phases.

387
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:29,680
There's been no disturbance to the 250 foot buffer and it remains intact. With regards

388
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:38,080
to screening, the subject site will provide winged walls to screen from the adjacent

389
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:45,180
from the adjacent right-of-ways, the trailers, and there will also be a level of vegetative

390
00:27:45,180 --> 00:27:51,300
screening from Standridge, which would have to look through the green belt that is to

391
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:51,680
the north.

392
00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:59,950
The elevation plans reflect a contemporary warehouse aesthetic, consistent of tilt

393
00:27:59,950 --> 00:28:03,910
wall construction, predominantly with earth tone colors.

394
00:28:04,610 --> 00:28:09,350
Each of the non-loading facades contain horizontal and vertical articulations,

395
00:28:09,530 --> 00:28:14,120
fenestrations, and color changes to offer breaks of continuous and monotonous building elevations,

396
00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:16,330
which are typical of large warehouse buildings.

397
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:21,790
The elevation plan also, as I mentioned, reflects a earth-tone color palette with shades of gray.

398
00:28:22,690 --> 00:28:27,910
The color selection and percentages are consistent with the approved concept plan and the gateway overlay district.

399
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,860
It's a bit tiny on here, but it was included in your packet.

400
00:28:32,860 --> 00:28:36,020
You can kind of see the overall aesthetic.

401
00:28:36,460 --> 00:28:38,960
Again, the traditional Alper's Warehouse buildings.

402
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:44,340
The max height is 42 feet of these buildings.

403
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:50,780
And you can see the individual breaks, these dark areas here,

404
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,720
and then there's horizontal breaks as well.

405
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,280
The photometric plan, it's basically what you're looking

406
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,900
at here is the reflection of illumination based off

407
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:06,240
of the site. So illumination happens right adjacent to the site. These are the parking

408
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,100
courts for phase 2B and phase 2A. So all of the light associated with the development

409
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:19,740
is concentrated within those areas for passenger and truck courts. The purple area, those

410
00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:25,140
are all reading at zero foot candles, basically meaning that there's no light that will

411
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:29,400
be illuminating this area here. And these will be the areas that are most closest

412
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:35,340
to the residential, as you can see along Standridge and then along those residences that are right

413
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:44,200
along the bank front of the creek. There's no illumination from the site. And this is

414
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,060
basically a breakdown of that also.

415
00:29:49,270 --> 00:29:52,570
Staff took a few pictures from the adjacent properties

416
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:59,950
just to kind of get an idea as to how dense the vegetation is, even through

417
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:25,060
On December 28, 2021, the Colonies Planning and Zoning Commission recommended 6-0 to approve

418
00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:30,020
the site plan for Live Oak logistics interface to be multi-building commercial development

419
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:37,020
located on two tracks of land totaling approximately 26.26 acres located west of the northwest

420
00:30:37,020 --> 00:30:41,000
intersection of Live Oak Drive and Memorial Drive within the plan development 19 and get

421
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,180
way over the districts. The development review committee recommends approval. Our

422
00:30:45,180 --> 00:30:49,060
staff finds that the site plan is consistent with the approved concept plan of plan

423
00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:53,720
development 19 and meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance where applicable.

424
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:59,700
That concludes the presentation on this item and I'll take any questions and a representation

425
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:01,520
from the development is also present.

426
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:09,260
So Isaac, I want to just for a point of clarification for anyone who is watching or interested.

427
00:31:09,580 --> 00:31:18,820
There is a separate item regarding a request from the developer on an adjustment for this.

428
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,600
This does not cover that.

429
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,580
That is something that will come to us.

430
00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:26,380
We'll go to P&Z and then come to us in the future.

431
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:35,060
So I know that they had had discussions with residents in the nearby area, and this item

432
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:36,380
does not cover that.

433
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,720
I want to just make sure that we're clear about that.

434
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,740
Any questions from Council for Isaac?

435
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:44,400
Mr. Marks?

436
00:31:44,540 --> 00:31:47,100
Isaac, are there mezzanines in these buildings?

437
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:49,580
Do you know of any?

438
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:51,820
Let me see.

439
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:53,600
I mean, it's not critical, I'm just curious.

440
00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:54,660
I don't think that there are.

441
00:31:56,860 --> 00:32:00,660
And there will be, and there will also be, you know, some development too sweet,

442
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,040
so there may be a tenant that doesn't require that,

443
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,320
but at this point we're not seeing that as a present.

444
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,520
Okay, thank you.

445
00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:08,800
Any questions from Council?

446
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:11,680
Okay.

447
00:32:14,490 --> 00:32:14,750
Motion.

448
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,940
We have a motion.

449
00:32:24,140 --> 00:32:24,540
Second.

450
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Second by Mr. Wade.

451
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:29,900
Any further discussion?

452
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:31,220
Questions?

453
00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:34,060
Council, please vote.

454
00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:37,160
That item passes.

455
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:38,140
Thank you, Isaac.

456
00:32:42,910 --> 00:32:44,130
Item 5.3.

457
00:32:44,990 --> 00:32:47,110
Conduct a first public hearing

458
00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:49,130
and discuss an ordinance

459
00:32:49,130 --> 00:32:50,770
readopting, ratifying,

460
00:32:51,030 --> 00:32:52,570
republishing, extending.

461
00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:55,330
Chapter 13, article 3,

462
00:32:55,690 --> 00:32:58,550
sections 13-31

463
00:32:58,550 --> 00:33:00,370
through 13-37

464
00:33:00,370 --> 00:33:01,810
of the Code of Ordinances

465
00:33:01,810 --> 00:33:03,630
regarding curfew hours

466
00:33:03,630 --> 00:33:08,510
for minors. Chief Cuan. Mayor, Council, Mr. City Manager. So we have a curfew

467
00:33:08,510 --> 00:33:14,210
ordinance for kids 16 and under and on the weekdays it's 11 p.m. on weekends

468
00:33:14,210 --> 00:33:20,650
it's midnight. We are required by the state law every year to have hearings

469
00:33:20,650 --> 00:33:26,570
and then re-approve it every single three years. So that's what we're here

470
00:33:26,570 --> 00:33:30,610
to do. I can answer any questions y'all have about curfew before you do the

471
00:33:30,610 --> 00:33:31,210
hearing if you like.

472
00:33:33,070 --> 00:33:33,430
Questions?

473
00:33:34,410 --> 00:33:34,850
Marks?

474
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:36,970
The time limits.

475
00:33:37,410 --> 00:33:38,770
Is that state mandated?

476
00:33:40,490 --> 00:33:41,470
Or do we set up?

477
00:33:41,510 --> 00:33:42,850
No, we can set it.

478
00:33:43,170 --> 00:33:45,870
No, I mean the state does not impose any certain time.

479
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:48,810
Those are our choice.

480
00:33:49,670 --> 00:33:51,350
Because it's been that way for quite a while.

481
00:33:51,970 --> 00:33:54,030
And just to clarify, there's no action tonight.

482
00:33:54,670 --> 00:33:57,010
The statute says we've got to conduct public hearings.

483
00:33:57,530 --> 00:34:02,610
It doesn't say how many, so I guess reading the statute, I implied two, so I guess next

484
00:34:02,610 --> 00:34:05,810
time we'd have another public hearing and then potential action.

485
00:34:06,190 --> 00:34:06,470
Thank you.

486
00:34:07,010 --> 00:34:09,630
Chief, you said it was 16 and under?

487
00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:10,230
Yes.

488
00:34:11,650 --> 00:34:12,450
So it's...

489
00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:13,430
I did say under 17.

490
00:34:14,250 --> 00:34:15,350
It's 17 and under?

491
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:15,970
Yeah.

492
00:34:18,020 --> 00:34:20,120
Okay, I was just making sure it's still applied to my daughter.

493
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:20,680
Oh, she does.

494
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:21,060
Yeah.

495
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,900
If it didn't, we were going to have to raise the age this time around.

496
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,500
We've been out here many times.

497
00:34:25,620 --> 00:34:26,240
Okay, good.

498
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:26,820
Good.

499
00:34:27,820 --> 00:34:33,560
We do write about seven curfew tickets a year. Last year we wrote seven. That doesn't mean

500
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:38,100
all the kids we found outside after curfew got a ticket. As you can imagine, there's

501
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:43,420
a wide range of kids outside, you know, at midnight. There might be, you know, the good

502
00:34:43,420 --> 00:34:47,520
kids who parents care. They're just out, you know, past midnight playing basketball

503
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,640
across the street. Typically an officer goes out on that. He just tells them to

504
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,960
go home. That's the end of it. But then on the other end, you have the kids

505
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,140
kids doing sketchy stuff, who we catch all the time outside, parents just don't care.

506
00:35:01,060 --> 00:35:06,540
And so, you know, we do take them to the station. They get a ticket. Tickets usually run about

507
00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:11,880
$350. The judge can do whatever he wants on that. And then he requires community service.

508
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,260
So those are the situations where we actually even have trouble getting the parents to

509
00:35:17,260 --> 00:35:21,920
come get the kids. So there's a wide range and we kind of have discretion. I mean,

510
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:25,520
almost you know I mean police officers don't want to write kids tickets I mean

511
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,000
we'd rather be the hero in the building so we tried to adjust to just kind of

512
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:37,980
depending on the situation. Mr. Terry? Okay I think for clarification what we're

513
00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:42,280
doing is working so you are not suggesting any changes in what we

514
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,080
currently have it's just renewing and going forward in three years what we

515
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,660
currently have is that correct? Yes sir. Okay. Alright with that I will go

516
00:35:50,660 --> 00:35:55,480
ahead and open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak on this item, please step

517
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,060
to the microphone, state your name and address for the record.

518
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,540
Seeing those

519
00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:12,180
speakers, we will go ahead and do we leave this with multiple hearings, so we

520
00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:16,200
close it. Yeah, close the public hearing and this will come back at the next

521
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,820
meeting. We will close the public hearing.

522
00:36:21,020 --> 00:36:22,180
Any further questions?

523
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:30,640
Yeah, I have a comment. I've got the ordinance in front of me, and I know that Andretti's

524
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:38,020
right now has a 1 a.m. curfew or 1 a.m. closing on, I believe, Friday and Saturday night.

525
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:44,800
And so I know that there are probably some 17 and under-year-olds in there. Have you

526
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,840
had any issues with that?

527
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:52,760
So there's an exception in the code that if you're traveling home from work, you're fine.

528
00:36:54,260 --> 00:36:58,700
No, I'm thinking loitering outside. I'm thinking maybe not the kids that are working.

529
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,860
No, I don't think so. We haven't had anything that I know of.

530
00:37:01,140 --> 00:37:01,360
Okay.

531
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:11,100
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and 12 a.m. on Saturday or Sunday.

532
00:37:11,460 --> 00:37:12,320
I'm guessing Fridays.

533
00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:20,840
Yeah, they actually wrote it 1201 the next day, so it's very clear which night set is.

534
00:37:21,420 --> 00:37:24,100
So I summarized when I said Friday is Saturday night, it's the midday.

535
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:29,820
Are there questions? All right, there's no action to be taken on that item.

536
00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:31,260
Thank you, Chief.

537
00:37:33,820 --> 00:37:42,780
Item 5.4, discuss the formation of a committee to review and make recommendations to council regarding the boundaries of the single member council districts.

538
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:54,040
Councilman Terry and Councilman Marks. You guys were here last time we did this.

539
00:37:54,540 --> 00:37:57,620
Yep, I was here last time we did this.

540
00:38:03,540 --> 00:38:11,500
I agree with that 100%. And so for this half of the dais over here.

541
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:16,480
Well, your district is one of the problems.

542
00:38:19,980 --> 00:38:30,700
So after the census numbers come out, we try to balance out the population for each district.

543
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:38,720
And to do that, we form a committee made up of residents as well as a couple of council

544
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:48,320
members to work on with our IT or GIS person, David Stone King, and Chris

545
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:54,280
Quayar to whatever extent he wants to participate in this as well, and basically

546
00:38:54,280 --> 00:39:03,600
tried to, based on the criteria that we work under, and it's for three four five

547
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,940
you know, districts 3, 4, 5, and 6, and we try to balance those numbers out.

548
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,280
Does it like within a 10% variance?

549
00:39:11,020 --> 00:39:12,660
Okay, so the...

550
00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:16,180
And correct me if I misstate anything, Jeff.

551
00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:24,440
The last time we did this, there was...the maps had to go through DOJ approval,

552
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:31,200
and that was the rule that the largest district and the smallest district had to be within a 10%.

553
00:39:31,780 --> 00:39:37,020
I don't think we're under quite as strict rules this time, but we need to kind of work

554
00:39:37,020 --> 00:39:39,620
in that same sort of spirit to come as close as we can.

555
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,860
Well, there's two things.

556
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,960
Yeah, the mathematical precision is not required, and court cases have said that.

557
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:55,380
But also, the U.S. Supreme Court, six, eight years ago, declared that part of the Voters

558
00:39:55,380 --> 00:39:58,620
Rights Act unconstitutional.

559
00:39:58,620 --> 00:40:05,920
And so currently, we would not have to resubmit to the Department of Justice this redrawn map.

560
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:14,360
Those election changes or this map, we would not have to submit it to the DOJ this time.

561
00:40:15,180 --> 00:40:17,840
And so we don't have that issue to deal with.

562
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,020
Well, I mean, I guess 10% is probably a good number.

563
00:40:26,020 --> 00:40:34,500
But you don't have to be, yeah, the courts have said mathematical precision is not mandated.

564
00:40:35,620 --> 00:40:42,660
Well, I mean, you want to keep them, you know, the concept of, you know, one vote and that

565
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:44,880
each, you know, equal representation.

566
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:54,140
Well, you know, those, those, the higher you get the invites challenge.

567
00:40:54,140 --> 00:41:01,340
So, I don't know if there's a magical number, but, yeah, the higher disparity would invite some issue.

568
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:10,280
So, we obviously have a couple areas of town that have been adding population faster than others,

569
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,160
just because that's the only place there is to continue to grow.

570
00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:17,060
So we'll try to balance that out.

571
00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:25,060
So, what I'd like to do now is I will appoint two council members to the committee to kind

572
00:41:25,060 --> 00:41:33,760
of co-chair that committee and then the rest of us who are not appointed to the committee.

573
00:41:34,980 --> 00:41:43,080
We need to appoint a member of the community to that who's willing to serve in that capacity.

574
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,420
I would prefer it not to be someone who already serves on one of our boards.

575
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,680
So to get some new ideas, new voices, I don't know that that can be a hard and fast rule,

576
00:41:53,740 --> 00:41:58,220
but I would prefer it if we found somebody that isn't already on a board.

577
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:05,760
And I would like those names submitted to the city secretary just so we can organize that

578
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:11,960
and we're not doing emails to each other when we're not meeting in public by the end of the month.

579
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,720
Like I would like this for this committee to begin meeting at some point in February.

580
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:24,360
So we'll have our, we'll have our appointees, you know, put together by the end of the month

581
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:31,980
and try to work out a time with those folks that is workable for when to meet.

582
00:42:32,980 --> 00:42:40,080
So to that committee, I wanted to put one single member representative and one at

583
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:50,680
large representative on there, so I'm appointing Councilman Schrag and Councilman Holtz to

584
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:56,080
that position, and meaning the rest of us will have to come up with someone to appoint

585
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:01,900
to that, and if for whatever reason that we meet before Councilman Schrag is back,

586
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:07,860
then I'll fill in, and I'll probably participate at least the first meeting just to kind

587
00:43:07,860 --> 00:43:08,280
of go through.

588
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:17,600
So, just real quick on that, the main guideline is, or the main goal is we're not drawing

589
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,320
anyone out of their district.

590
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:24,940
So that's just because of where you guys live makes it a little more difficult sometimes.

591
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:31,980
But so, you know, we're not going to draw two people into the same district and create

592
00:43:31,980 --> 00:43:35,240
a new unrepresented district for that time.

593
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:43,920
The goal would be that we would work on this and hopefully by May or June have maps to

594
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,180
bring back the council to discuss, have a couple of public hearings, which is what we

595
00:43:48,180 --> 00:43:48,820
did last time.

596
00:43:48,860 --> 00:43:55,620
I think we did one here and then we did one not in City Hall, somewhere out in the

597
00:43:55,620 --> 00:44:01,140
community where we invited folks to come and look at the proposed maps and provide

598
00:44:01,140 --> 00:44:03,540
feedback to those.

599
00:44:03,540 --> 00:44:11,500
and then those would we do this in this off-year where we don't have municipal

600
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:16,480
elections and so the new lines and new districts would take effect with the

601
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:23,040
single-member district elections in 2023. So that's the that's the goal

602
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,640
no one's gonna get drawn out of their district that's the rules and then we

603
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,340
will try to to balance those out.

604
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,640
There's not there's not necessarily one

605
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,220
but I don't want to, I don't want to put a resident on a committee with an indefinite

606
00:44:39,220 --> 00:44:40,180
end date on that.

607
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,820
Obviously it would be next year by the elections and I want those, those

608
00:44:47,820 --> 00:44:52,400
lines to be done. It's the way we did it last year. We did it right about this time

609
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:58,020
at the beginning of the year and I think by the summertime we had those, we had those

610
00:44:58,020 --> 00:44:59,900
new maps approved by

611
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:07,920
What are the parameters that we bring up to one of our residents to ask them to be on the committee?

612
00:45:08,340 --> 00:45:12,040
How do we approach that? How do we sell them to you?

613
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,360
Well, first of all, it helps when you're already a salesman.

614
00:45:18,140 --> 00:45:23,580
What it is is we're redrawing the boundaries for these districts.

615
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:30,740
I think a couple of times we met twice a month, but most of the time it was once a month.

616
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:38,100
We meet one night a month for a couple of hours, and it was back here in the conference room.

617
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:43,140
And it really helped the staff to make them up and really provide the help we needed on

618
00:45:43,140 --> 00:45:45,720
maps and current status, et cetera.

619
00:45:45,860 --> 00:45:53,420
And what we do, so with the GIS, with the technology we have now, you know, they're

620
00:45:53,420 --> 00:45:58,380
able to fairly quickly, if you just say, okay, well, what if we added this area right here

621
00:45:58,380 --> 00:46:05,120
on the map to this district? They can tell you pretty quickly how many people that is.

622
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:13,180
I will say the numbers that I saw, the largest district and the smallest district, it's

623
00:46:13,180 --> 00:46:18,460
an over 30% difference right now. And so if it were smaller, maybe, you know,

624
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:22,560
this

625
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,200
I want to make sure we give this enough time.

626
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,320
That's why I'm not putting it, I'm putting it,

627
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,240
it'd be nice if it would be done by, you know,

628
00:46:28,340 --> 00:46:30,320
May or June, but let's get it right.

629
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,620
That's more important to me.

630
00:46:32,580 --> 00:46:34,460
While we have plenty of time to do that.

631
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:35,860
But...

632
00:46:35,860 --> 00:46:37,800
It's not personal, it's important that it becomes

633
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:38,500
at the end of May.

634
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:39,860
Okay, so there we go.

635
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:40,380
That's...

636
00:46:40,380 --> 00:46:41,020
It's not personal, right there.

637
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:41,300
There.

638
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,880
So yeah, I guess it'll be before Memorial Day

639
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,360
for Ms. Holtz.

640
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:50,700
It's not personal.

641
00:46:51,860 --> 00:46:53,200
Do you have a future council member?

642
00:46:53,580 --> 00:46:54,360
Yeah, yeah.

643
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,440
Any other questions?

644
00:46:58,020 --> 00:47:01,740
And, you know, if you're a single member,

645
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,960
sometimes you maybe want to put someone in your,

646
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,860
but I'm not requiring you to put, you know,

647
00:47:07,060 --> 00:47:09,460
someone that's in your district necessarily,

648
00:47:09,820 --> 00:47:12,220
but, you know, you probably would want that representation

649
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,480
from the existing district.

650
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,640
I know there's been several people

651
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,240
that want to participate in place three so they can draw themselves out of Bryan's district.

652
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,220
But he's got the most to shrink.

653
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:34,780
He's second.

654
00:47:37,540 --> 00:47:39,520
Three is larger than four.

655
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,040
Not by much, but three is larger than four.

656
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:55,620
We're only counting people that people that are alive right now. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So

657
00:47:55,620 --> 00:48:02,840
he has Austin Ranch Cascades and a big part of a big part of the legends. And so that's

658
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:09,680
That's why place three is is the largest right now, but but you're close you're close Dave

659
00:48:17,380 --> 00:48:20,520
It's close see it's close between the two biggest clothes

660
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,280
But I think you're right. I think I think place six is the smallest so you're gonna probably gain

661
00:48:29,900 --> 00:48:30,640
So yeah

662
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:42,160
So hopefully we will be able to have these names submitted, find folks that will be willing

663
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,540
to serve and kick this thing off in February at some point.

664
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:54,420
So just for clarification, we're going to have one person representing the whole city

665
00:48:54,420 --> 00:48:56,200
as a resident.

666
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:56,680
No, no.

667
00:48:56,860 --> 00:48:58,200
Each one.

668
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:58,460
Each one.

669
00:48:58,460 --> 00:49:08,040
Yes. Joel will appoint a person, you'll appoint a person, I will appoint a person, Brian will, and Judy will.

670
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,780
So it'll be a committee of seven.

671
00:49:13,540 --> 00:49:16,140
By the end of the month, is when you'd like that at the latest?

672
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,740
Yes, yes. Send those names to Tina.

673
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:24,580
Siri wants to participate.

674
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:28,660
You're going to appoint Siri?

675
00:49:28,660 --> 00:49:29,920
Yeah, I'm looking through it.

676
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,480
Any other questions on that?

677
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,040
I enjoyed it last time.

678
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:44,180
David and I served on that committee last time, last go around,

679
00:49:44,820 --> 00:49:50,660
and I think it is going to be more difficult this time than what we did last time,

680
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,780
but it actually is pretty fun.

681
00:49:55,820 --> 00:50:02,820
Yes, yes, it is neat to see how that works and you'll get into things where sometimes

682
00:50:02,820 --> 00:50:06,960
it makes sense, okay we'll make this street a boundary, well really when you make that

683
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,620
street a boundary that means people across the street from each other in different districts.

684
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,220
So you learn, okay we need to make the alley the boundary.

685
00:50:17,820 --> 00:50:22,840
Well, and you used to, and you used to on Baker Street, the two of you, Baker Street

686
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,860
used to be one of the boundaries, so the north side was in six, the south side was in three.

687
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:29,320
So

688
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:42,060
sneaky.

689
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,200
I'm sure they noticed it, they were just hoping you weren't.

690
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,200
And that's why we appoint someone to kind of, hey, make sure they're not drawing me

691
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:49,820
out of my district.

692
00:50:50,740 --> 00:50:51,460
All right.

693
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:52,000
Any other questions?

694
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:00,520
All right, that is the last item on our regular agenda.

695
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:02,400
We have an item in executive session.

696
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:09,820
Council shall convene into a closed executive session pursuant to section 551.087 of the

697
00:51:09,820 --> 00:51:14,720
Texas Government Code to deliberate regarding commercial or financial information the cities

698
00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:20,240
receive from a business prospect and to deliberate the offer of a financial or other

699
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:24,500
incentive to a business prospect and with that we will go into executive session.
