1
00:00:05,938 --> 00:00:05,938
March 12th. I'm going to call the town council meeting to order. We have all councilors

2
00:00:11,377 --> 00:00:15,247
present and we're going to start tonight with the invocation. Pastor ben, how are you doing, ben? Doing well. How are you guys? Very good. That's awesome. Let's open with the

3
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:29,029
verse of the day. It's from romans five, verse one. Therefore, since we have been

4
00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:36,503
made right in god's sight by faith, we have peace with god because of what jesus christ

5
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:42,675
our lord has done for us. Lord god, we thank you so much for the peace that we have with you

6
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:50,217
through your son jesus christ, through his death and resurrection for us. Lord, I

7
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:56,390
pray that you would bring peace to your world. Peace to our our country, peace to our state,

8
00:01:03,531 --> 00:01:03,531
and and even peace right here in north lake. Lord, we lift up to you all of our first

9
00:01:10,337 --> 00:01:10,337
responders, our public works workers, our business owners and, and workers. They're all

10
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:16,510
of our, our citizens. We pray, lord, especially today for leanne crawford, that you would

11
00:01:23,351 --> 00:01:23,351
just lead doctors to a diagnosis and a remedy for the health issues that she is

12
00:01:29,457 --> 00:01:29,457
facing. Lord, we celebrate with the town hall. 101 graduates today, and we thank you for the

13
00:01:35,697 --> 00:01:35,697
time and energy they've put into this program and those who have led it as well, guide all

14
00:01:42,204 --> 00:01:45,774
the discussions and conversations that are happening today, lord, that they would be done according to your will and are pleasing to you. It's in the precious name

15
00:01:50,278 --> 00:01:50,278
of jesus our savior, I pray. Amen. Please stand for our pledges. Of the united states

16
00:02:06,161 --> 00:02:06,161
of america and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under god, indivisible, with

17
00:02:14,069 --> 00:02:14,069
liberty and justice for all. I pledge allegiance to thee. Texas. One state under god, one

18
00:02:26,048 --> 00:02:26,048
indivisible. All right. Drew, did you have an update on water situation or just want to

19
00:02:33,923 --> 00:02:33,923
narrate that for people here? Yes, sir. Late this afternoon, contractor hit a line on mulkey

20
00:02:44,299 --> 00:02:44,299
past current development towards new development. It did not affect did not cut any

21
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,240
water off from residents. We were able to isolate the break and we did not drop below 20

22
00:02:58,048 --> 00:02:58,048
psi. So there will be no water boil notice repeat, no water boil notice and I'm within

23
00:03:06,222 --> 00:03:06,222
probably less than an hour cruise the pump. They they isolated, the pump, engaged,

24
00:03:13,129 --> 00:03:13,129
and we got the pressures back to the normal 70 to 80 psi range. So great job, public

25
00:03:17,466 --> 00:03:17,466
works. Eric and his crews response was incredibly fast. So I appreciate all the hard

26
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:23,039
work to get that resolved quickly so our residents didn't have to go without water. Next

27
00:03:27,510 --> 00:03:27,510
we're going to do real quick council updates. I think mr. Fowler had some, I appreciate

28
00:03:32,282 --> 00:03:32,282
that. So back in the fall, I had the very fortunate opportunity to congratulate

29
00:03:37,087 --> 00:03:37,087
some of our local sports teams that won a state title in volleyball. So tonight we have

30
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:42,960
another state champion, the argyle lady eagles went this past week to the state

31
00:03:48,365 --> 00:03:48,365
tournament and they won. They beat frisco memorial I think 5241 in the semifinal. And then

32
00:03:54,538 --> 00:03:54,538
in the state championship game, they beat barboursville 5142. The reason that I like to

33
00:04:00,344 --> 00:04:00,344
present this, because we have a few young ladies on those teams that are residents here in

34
00:04:04,415 --> 00:04:04,415
north lake, addison, simms and kinsley vest are all residents here and want to say

35
00:04:09,654 --> 00:04:09,654
congratulations to them. Just to give you a little bit of background on the the girls

36
00:04:14,024 --> 00:04:17,962
basketball team, if you're not very familiar with them, this is their 11th trip to the state tournament since the school's been open. They appeared in the state finals seven years in a

37
00:04:23,301 --> 00:04:23,301
row from 2013 to 2019, and they won five consecutive from 2014 to 2018. They went again in

38
00:04:31,609 --> 00:04:31,609
2022, where they lost in the semifinals, and they went back for the first time as a5a

39
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:35,680
school, and they just competed and won the first five state titles. So I want to

40
00:04:39,684 --> 00:04:39,684
congratulate them on a job well done. If you have never seen high school girls basketball in

41
00:04:43,854 --> 00:04:43,854
this area, I would encourage you to go to do it. I was never a fan until I got here to the

42
00:04:49,628 --> 00:04:52,965
area and watched them play, and they are tremendous young ladies who work extremely hard and do a great job. Not only that, but every single member of that team made the academic

43
00:04:57,802 --> 00:05:01,706
all state team for u.I.l so very intelligent in the classroom and hard working on the court as well. So just want to give them congratulations. If you want to see them, they

44
00:05:05,944 --> 00:05:05,944
will be back next year. They only have one senior, so great year and hopefully they can

45
00:05:10,783 --> 00:05:10,783
follow it up again next year. So I want to say congratulations to them. Thank

46
00:05:16,222 --> 00:05:16,222
you, mr. Fowler. Any updates from council. All right. I know that we are. We went to the tom

47
00:05:27,066 --> 00:05:27,066
thumb opening. And first of all I was really proud with the north lake representation

48
00:05:32,472 --> 00:05:32,472
because we're going to be the ones shopping there too, if we're honest, but that it's a

49
00:05:36,843 --> 00:05:36,843
really beautiful store and that I'm a a super price snob and we got some good steals. So if you

50
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:44,250
haven't checked out the new tom thumb and we all met troy aikman, but that's neither here

51
00:05:48,421 --> 00:05:48,421
nor there. Alright. And in other news, myself, mayor pro tem and doctor sessions got to

52
00:05:56,295 --> 00:05:56,295
tour mp materials, their existing facility down on one seven off 170 and keller slash

53
00:06:02,035 --> 00:06:02,035
fort worth. I guess it's technically fort worth. We took a tour of that because we

54
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:10,610
wanted to see what they were bringing here firsthand. We heard about what they were bringing, what their operations were. But we want to take a look under a hood. And let me

55
00:06:15,315 --> 00:06:15,315
tell you what people were concerned about. Maybe, you know, water pollution or air

56
00:06:20,254 --> 00:06:20,254
pollution. I've seen restaurants dirtier than this factory, and they deal in dust

57
00:06:26,727 --> 00:06:26,727
particles to make magnets. And you could literally eat off the floor. It was so incredibly

58
00:06:31,131 --> 00:06:31,131
clean. And just to put to rest none of their raw materials coming in have any radioactive

59
00:06:36,537 --> 00:06:36,537
properties whatsoever. There are mines in other parts of the world that do, but the mine

60
00:06:41,842 --> 00:06:41,842
that they use in california does not have any radioactive traces. So it was just really

61
00:06:46,914 --> 00:06:46,914
an eye opening experience for us to see the technological advances in this, and how it

62
00:06:52,353 --> 00:06:52,353
will be a great thing for north lake, for texas and the country as a whole, bring you back real

63
00:06:57,725 --> 00:06:57,725
technical manufacturing jobs. So really neat experience and I appreciate council taking time.

64
00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:02,830
other councilors, on a staff note to you all, if you want to take additional tours, just let

65
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:07,969
them know and we'll get that scheduled. Alright. Anything else before we move on? All

66
00:07:14,609 --> 00:07:14,609
right. Thank you. First item tonight is our town hall 101 graduates. Drew, if you'd like

67
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:20,649
to say a little bit about the class and then we'll get up here and get them recognized.

68
00:07:27,556 --> 00:07:27,556
is there one of the town's strategic goals? Good evening. Council mayor was to develop

69
00:07:37,632 --> 00:07:37,632
areas that we could talk about north lake. We could share the history of north lake. We could

70
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:41,803
educate people about the town's functions. Please beat me to the punch with the citizen

71
00:07:46,341 --> 00:07:46,341
police academy. Great program. We followed with the town hall 101 and we have. We cover a

72
00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:54,250
number of things, mainly our departments. We don't have many, but we also talk about our

73
00:07:58,554 --> 00:07:58,554
history. How the heck do we get the name north lake? All those all those good stuff. What what

74
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:03,692
we are, this is our fourth class and so want to honor them. We have some certificates for

75
00:08:13,736 --> 00:08:13,736
them, but here are all the the 2026 graduates of town hall 101 and I have some unattested if

76
00:08:24,814 --> 00:08:24,814
anybody wants to admit to making these comments. But here's some testimonials of of

77
00:08:31,988 --> 00:08:31,988
town hall 101. And we have been trying to get all our board members and other people that

78
00:08:39,896 --> 00:08:39,896
council and mayor have directed to this class, but we're going to continue to work on this and

79
00:08:45,635 --> 00:08:45,635
open it up. And so anyway, any questions about town hall 101 or comments? If not, we've got

80
00:08:54,311 --> 00:08:54,311
some. One question is how long until the next one? Because I have people asking already. So

81
00:09:00,049 --> 00:09:00,049
we usually go from november to the 1st of march. So and we try to do it on monday nights. We

82
00:09:08,492 --> 00:09:08,492
do it about every other monday night. We have lost one of our rooms, our police community

83
00:09:14,498 --> 00:09:14,498
room. Now it's going to be. It's. It was remodeled the night after our last class or

84
00:09:20,604 --> 00:09:20,604
the morning after our last class. The chief was kicking me out, moving tables out. So

85
00:09:25,275 --> 00:09:25,275
we're running out of room. And that's a whole other topic. But yes, we'll we'll start in

86
00:09:30,982 --> 00:09:30,982
november. But if we if we get enough demand, we usually have about 12. And because

87
00:09:36,087 --> 00:09:36,087
everybody's so busy this year, we only had nine make it through, but we have a. We

88
00:09:42,226 --> 00:09:42,226
decided the classmates decided that if you miss more than two meetings that you need to

89
00:09:47,232 --> 00:09:47,232
withdraw. And so. But yes. November. Excellent. Thank you. What we're going to do is we're

90
00:09:54,606 --> 00:09:54,606
going to hand out certificates for those that are here tonight. We're going to do a quick photo

91
00:09:59,477 --> 00:09:59,477
with each of you. And then we can probably do a class photo as well. So let's get that

92
00:10:04,381 --> 00:10:04,381
going here. I'll step down. Amy johnson.

93
00:10:48,093 --> 00:10:48,093
yeah, they're all at the back here. All right. Tracy honeycutt. Valerie madigan.

94
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:19,759
I'll tell you why y'all are taking pictures. One thing that's come out of this class

95
00:11:23,763 --> 00:11:23,763
is everyone that's taken it has turned into like an advocate or an expert about the town, that

96
00:11:28,568 --> 00:11:28,568
if there's things going on in the town that they have answers, that sometimes they can get to

97
00:11:33,239 --> 00:11:33,239
things faster than we can and that they have the awareness because they went through the

98
00:11:37,244 --> 00:11:37,244
class. So that's something I really appreciate. All right. The rustlers certificates for

99
00:11:48,289 --> 00:11:48,289
folks that weren't here tonight will get those out to them. So next we have a presentation

100
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:52,559
from methodist southlake hospital. We have benson chacko. Thank you. Welcome. Thank you.

101
00:12:00,534 --> 00:12:00,534
good evening team, and thank you all for giving me a couple of minutes to just explain who

102
00:12:04,972 --> 00:12:04,972
we are in methodist southlake. It's about 20 minutes south. We are the newest hospital here in

103
00:12:09,843 --> 00:12:09,843
the area. For those of you who don't know, we are part of methodist health system. So

104
00:12:14,315 --> 00:12:14,315
methodist health system was founded back in 1927 in south dallas. A group of methodist

105
00:12:19,153 --> 00:12:19,153
ministers came to the area and said, there's no health care down there. 100 years later,

106
00:12:23,858 --> 00:12:27,728
we're still one of the only ones down in south dallas. And that's always been our mission as a nonprofit, faith based organization. And so we were founded and started in dallas.

107
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:31,800
and back in 2005, we had two hospitals, methodist dallas and then also methodist charlton,

108
00:12:36,804 --> 00:12:36,804
south dallas with two family practice or three family practice clinics. Where we

109
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:41,509
stand today in 2026 is with over 130 access points in dallas fort worth. We will

110
00:12:47,549 --> 00:12:47,549
never be the number one largest health system in dfw. Our focus more is be number one in our

111
00:12:54,724 --> 00:12:54,724
primary service area. And for methodist, southlake north lake is part of our primary service

112
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:58,760
area as we grow. So as you see in this slide here is a lot of dots, a lot of dots. And what

113
00:13:04,933 --> 00:13:08,904
this signifies is investments from our health system into these communities to make sure our patients are getting great care and improving and saving lives through quality,

114
00:13:13,143 --> 00:13:13,143
compassionate care. So at southlake specifically, so we are located right off of 114 in

115
00:13:19,347 --> 00:13:19,347
white chapel. We used to like to call it. It's the weird white building on 114 where

116
00:13:24,119 --> 00:13:24,119
prior to methodist taking over, methodist took over this hospital in sorry. In june of

117
00:13:32,294 --> 00:13:32,294
2021. I joined in november of 2021. And so from then, it was a conversion from a joint

118
00:13:38,368 --> 00:13:38,368
venture surgical hospital to a community hospital. We now have 1212 bed er with average wait

119
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:43,907
time is less than 6 or 7 minutes, 30 acres of land that we've purchased and planned to

120
00:13:49,612 --> 00:13:49,612
grow into with 24, seven yards I mentioned, and we have 38 inpatient private rooms and a

121
00:13:55,618 --> 00:13:55,618
six bed icu with a dedicated cath lab. As we look at our, as I mentioned, our primary

122
00:14:02,859 --> 00:14:02,859
service area. And so what does that entail? That entails primary care clinics. We have

123
00:14:06,964 --> 00:14:10,734
one in southlake colleyville. We're opening a clinic in trophy club and opening a clinic in coppell, and then also specialty clinics with cardiology in north richland

124
00:14:15,072 --> 00:14:15,072
hills and also general surgery right on campus. We will open up a. We've opened up a

125
00:14:20,477 --> 00:14:24,448
satellite emergency room and urgent care clinic in coppell, and we're opening up another one at the end of this month in north richland hills. And finally, we've got an

126
00:14:28,452 --> 00:14:28,452
ambulatory surgery center that opened up in keller. What's good to see here is the growth

127
00:14:33,223 --> 00:14:33,223
that we've done. Everything in green is opening up this fiscal year. And so a lot of

128
00:14:38,095 --> 00:14:38,095
development and growth and expansion into the area, highly competitive area. As you look

129
00:14:42,165 --> 00:14:42,165
at this map, a lot of folks that have been here for a long time are competitors to the

130
00:14:47,037 --> 00:14:47,037
east, have been in the area for 70 years to the south of us, 50, 40 and 15 years. We've been

131
00:14:52,676 --> 00:14:52,676
here for five. But what we're based off is 100 year legacy within methodist, and we take

132
00:14:57,849 --> 00:15:01,152
the great things that we've learned from our sister facilities and bring that up here to southern denton county and northeast tarrant county. As I mentioned earlier, we've

133
00:15:06,223 --> 00:15:06,223
got our primary care offices with doctors mahara and burnell in southlake, doctor rob in

134
00:15:11,595 --> 00:15:11,595
colleyville, and our newest clinic will be in trophy club. We will be looking at expansion

135
00:15:17,535 --> 00:15:17,535
further up into north lake as a development and growth out in this area, because it is part

136
00:15:21,707 --> 00:15:21,707
of our primary service area, we have several service lines that are on call 24 seven. What you

137
00:15:27,612 --> 00:15:27,612
see here in blue between interventional cardiology, orthopedics, gui and gi

138
00:15:32,817 --> 00:15:32,817
gastroenterology, we have those services 24 seven. We haven't always had that. It's been a

139
00:15:37,155 --> 00:15:37,155
growth aspect. And I, I always like to say it's a journey. It's not a, it's not a sprint.

140
00:15:42,260 --> 00:15:42,260
it's a marathon of a, of a process to make sure we're providing great care at the

141
00:15:46,332 --> 00:15:46,332
right time. We're not going to overextend ourselves because at the end of the day, it's

142
00:15:50,369 --> 00:15:50,369
somebody's life that's at, at the at risk. And so we make sure we're doing it the right

143
00:15:54,506 --> 00:15:54,506
way. And also we focus on is our patient experience and also the accolades that we've

144
00:15:59,812 --> 00:15:59,812
received. We know that patients have a choice. And as you see in this comment here,

145
00:16:05,050 --> 00:16:05,050
individuals will come to our hospital to bypass others to know that the care that they

146
00:16:09,422 --> 00:16:09,422
receive. We like to say there's an art and a science to healthcare. The the science

147
00:16:14,226 --> 00:16:14,226
aspect of it is the cms four star rating, our leapfrog safety grade. Those are all

148
00:16:19,264 --> 00:16:19,264
metrics that we have been performing very well in. And sometimes in the clinical side,

149
00:16:24,036 --> 00:16:24,036
at the 90th percentile or top quartile. Another aspect of it is the art of healthcare is

150
00:16:29,442 --> 00:16:29,442
what I like to say is how we're delivering that. And that goes back to that patient experience.

151
00:16:34,214 --> 00:16:34,214
what this what this graph shows here is over the last four fiscal years, fy 22 through 25,

152
00:16:39,419 --> 00:16:39,419
how we perform the highest you can get in a patient patient satisfaction or any patient

153
00:16:44,891 --> 00:16:44,891
satisfaction at the 99th percentile, can't get 199 is the highest you can get to. And

154
00:16:49,896 --> 00:16:49,896
so age caps is our inpatient patient satisfaction top decile since we took over that

155
00:16:54,968 --> 00:16:54,968
hospital outpatient top quartile, we're not consistently at close to top.

156
00:16:59,272 --> 00:16:59,272
decile er has been top decile since we converted, and our outpatient surgery has been

157
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:03,910
between top quartile and top decile. We're focusing to get that back up into the top

158
00:17:08,581 --> 00:17:08,581
decile, but for methodist, our goal has always been top quartile at southlake, as I

159
00:17:12,652 --> 00:17:12,652
like to say, since we're be quote unquote behind the eight ball, since our other folks

160
00:17:16,924 --> 00:17:16,924
have been here longer, we have to be the best. We have to be the best to be able to, to earn

161
00:17:22,729 --> 00:17:22,729
the trust of our physicians and of our community. And so I've challenged our team as we have

162
00:17:26,867 --> 00:17:26,867
to get back up to the top decile across the board. And I'm very proud of what our team

163
00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:31,839
has been doing. A lot of times you can say, check out our google, right? Check out google

164
00:17:36,043 --> 00:17:36,043
and what people are saying about us. We've got a 4.2 google star rating, which is

165
00:17:40,047 --> 00:17:40,047
highest amongst most of the hospitals in our area. And so I like to say competition breeds

166
00:17:44,751 --> 00:17:44,751
quality, and we're just raising the bar to make sure our patients and those in this area

167
00:17:48,856 --> 00:17:52,794
are getting great, outstanding care because we know no one wakes up in the morning and says, I want to go to the hospital. Nobody does. Whether you're going in for an

168
00:17:56,798 --> 00:17:56,798
outpatient surgery, an imaging scan that may reveal you have cancer, or lab tests that may

169
00:18:00,802 --> 00:18:04,038
say you have leukemia. We understand that and saying provide that great care, both science and art. How do we provide that care to make sure we're we like to say it's a

170
00:18:08,877 --> 00:18:12,747
faith based hospital where god's hands and feet caring for individuals through our doors. We also partner with the communities. So it's not just about business and just about

171
00:18:16,017 --> 00:18:16,017
taking care of patients. It's about being side by side with our community and growing with

172
00:18:20,021 --> 00:18:20,021
them. So whether it's hispanic heritage month in southlake or pep rallies with the bobcats

173
00:18:25,394 --> 00:18:25,394
and trophy club, whatever that may be, we want to be side by side because we are a community

174
00:18:30,332 --> 00:18:34,202
hospital. That's what we've been founded on for over 100 years with methodist, that's quote unquote our business model be side by side with our patients through the good times

175
00:18:38,540 --> 00:18:38,540
and bad. As I mentioned earlier with the er emergency services, you'll start seeing some

176
00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:45,780
advertisement going on. We want to make sure folks know that we it is a short wait. Short wait.

177
00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:50,519
from the time you walk into our building, from the time you see a physician, seven minutes. I'm

178
00:18:55,123 --> 00:18:55,123
going to repeat that seven minutes from the time you see a physician, from the time you

179
00:18:59,195 --> 00:18:59,195
walk into our building. Not a lot of people can say that. And we're proud to be able to say

180
00:19:04,166 --> 00:19:08,037
we can provide great care. And these are the emergency services that I mentioned before. Gyn orthopedics, stemi program that has been grown that we started in february of

181
00:19:12,875 --> 00:19:12,875
24, and we now have a primary heart attack center. So primary heart attack center is based

182
00:19:18,114 --> 00:19:18,114
off of joint commission, american heart, american heart association. That is the

183
00:19:22,952 --> 00:19:22,952
highest level you can get from a primary heart attack center. Is that certification in our

184
00:19:26,956 --> 00:19:26,956
primary service area? There's 6 or 9 hospitals. We are one of three that have that, and we

185
00:19:31,894 --> 00:19:31,894
achieved that in 18 months. And so it wasn't right off the bat, but we made sure we had

186
00:19:36,566 --> 00:19:40,536
physicians that were founding it based off of evidence based medicine and making sure that we're providing care that they would expect for their family members, our physicians that

187
00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:44,208
are founded there is between doctor and az alkmaar, doctor faye and doctor kruger, all

188
00:19:48,845 --> 00:19:48,845
local to the area. So when individuals are having a heart attack and if ems calls it in

189
00:19:54,417 --> 00:19:54,417
through what we call pulse era, oftentimes our physicians are meeting ems at the door there.

190
00:19:59,723 --> 00:19:59,723
so time is of the essence. Our average door to balloon time. So what that means from the

191
00:20:04,094 --> 00:20:04,094
time you walk into the door to the balloon opening up in the artery, it's 60 minutes.

192
00:20:08,832 --> 00:20:08,832
national standard is 90 minutes. So we've cut that nearly a third, a third by making sure

193
00:20:13,503 --> 00:20:13,503
we're providing great care. So with that, and they're they're very proud of their google

194
00:20:17,807 --> 00:20:17,807
ratings. They're 4.9. They wish it was five. But they're like it's 4.9. With that I open it

195
00:20:22,580 --> 00:20:22,580
up for any questions, comments concerns. But thank you all for your time. You did a great job.

196
00:20:27,684 --> 00:20:27,684
are you a member of the metro chamber? Yes, ma'am. We are. Okay. Carry on then. What kind

197
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:33,190
of. You mentioned you may be getting up here to northlake. What kind of facilities up here?

198
00:20:37,394 --> 00:20:37,394
so we're looking at a primary care. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you for

199
00:20:43,734 --> 00:20:43,734
your time today. Thank you. And next we have a briefing on valley view consulting, our

200
00:20:49,574 --> 00:20:49,574
investment advisory services. Adam, are you with us, john? And I'll start us off. So and

201
00:20:55,046 --> 00:20:55,046
then I'll turn it over to adam, who's here with valley view consulting. So the reason for

202
00:20:59,316 --> 00:20:59,316
this not bringing up this topic tonight is we do have a consent item later on the agenda to

203
00:21:04,022 --> 00:21:07,925
approve a contract with valley view consulting for another two years. So currently they are our investment advisors. Two years ago, town council approved having valley view

204
00:21:12,631 --> 00:21:12,631
fulfilled that role for us. And we're required by texas state law that every two years we

205
00:21:17,002 --> 00:21:17,002
need to bring that back to council, allow you all to hear from our advisor and decide if

206
00:21:21,973 --> 00:21:21,973
you want to continue the relationship or go a different direction. Just from our point

207
00:21:26,311 --> 00:21:26,311
of view with the town, the relationship's been beneficial to us. It's helped us with our

208
00:21:30,649 --> 00:21:30,649
investment policy, improving that, making sure that we update that every year. It's

209
00:21:34,753 --> 00:21:34,753
also helped us with our doing our primary banking services. They help manage the request

210
00:21:39,425 --> 00:21:39,425
for applications, process, something that was outside of our scope of experience here at

211
00:21:43,529 --> 00:21:43,529
the town. And then they've helped us with improving our reporting process for financial

212
00:21:47,866 --> 00:21:47,866
reports, as well as getting certificates of deposit set up for investment purposes,

213
00:21:51,871 --> 00:21:51,871
something that we had not done prior to this relationship. And I think most importantly,

214
00:21:56,475 --> 00:21:59,712
they've helped us manage a portfolio that's been growing over the last few years as we've continued to do capital projects. At 1.123 million was the size of our portfolio. It's

215
00:22:05,151 --> 00:22:05,151
gone down a little bit since we've been spending that money, which to get projects done. And

216
00:22:09,455 --> 00:22:09,455
they've also helped assist us with negotiating higher rates with some of our banking

217
00:22:14,928 --> 00:22:14,928
partners here. Now, just a perspective for council to understand the cost of services.

218
00:22:19,933 --> 00:22:19,933
valley view cost about 40,000 per year. That's dependent on our book value and what they're

219
00:22:24,404 --> 00:22:24,404
helping to manage. And then in terms of if we ever wanted to bring this in-house, a full

220
00:22:29,375 --> 00:22:29,375
time position as of right now for kind of an entry level, either investment local

221
00:22:34,647 --> 00:22:34,647
investment officer or treasury officer is typically with salary and benefits looking at

222
00:22:38,985 --> 00:22:38,985
about 86,000. So they they manage a lot for us. They help us with a lot without us having

223
00:22:44,524 --> 00:22:48,461
to bring on additional staff position, which tends to be the north lake model, finding opportunities to contract out. And then if we need to reduce service or move a different

224
00:22:52,398 --> 00:22:52,398
direction in the future. And with that, let me hand it over to adam, and he will give you a

225
00:22:57,304 --> 00:22:57,304
little bit more of an in-depth view of valley view itself. Thanks. Thank you for having me

226
00:23:03,843 --> 00:23:03,843
tonight. First of all, thank you for the last two years of allowing us to help you out

227
00:23:09,483 --> 00:23:09,483
with your management of your investments. A lot of credit goes to your staff or

228
00:23:14,288 --> 00:23:14,288
non-discretionary, which means we give advice. We don't execute anything. So the final

229
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:18,960
authority and final decisions are your staff, and their work allows us to be successful. And

230
00:23:24,732 --> 00:23:24,732
it has been a very successful couple of years. So as john mentioned, we do your quarterly

231
00:23:32,606 --> 00:23:32,606
investment reports that's required by the fia. So we customize those to your needs.

232
00:23:38,346 --> 00:23:38,346
we review your investment policy every year, so we make changes as per the fire as they

233
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:45,920
change per year as well as any legislative changes. Adam. The fia is a public funds

234
00:23:51,692 --> 00:23:51,692
investment act that we're required to follow every year. Correct. That's the state law

235
00:23:55,997 --> 00:23:55,997
that governs what you can and can't do with your funds. We do banking rfas. We do cash flow

236
00:24:05,774 --> 00:24:05,774
analysis, which entails us going in and seeing your balances, your inflows,

237
00:24:10,813 --> 00:24:10,813
outflows, and helping you to size your investments and the timing of your investments. And

238
00:24:15,117 --> 00:24:15,117
we manage your cash equivalents, your liquid money, as well as your timed accounts. You guys

239
00:24:20,989 --> 00:24:20,989
have a lot of bond funds, so that involves a lot of timing with projects. So we help to

240
00:24:28,430 --> 00:24:28,430
optimize interest income so that your cash flows are making as much as they can until that

241
00:24:33,102 --> 00:24:33,102
money needs to go out. Our typical investment vehicle for timed investments are cds.

242
00:24:39,241 --> 00:24:39,241
that's our bread and butter. We make about 10 to 20 basis points over comparable

243
00:24:43,546 --> 00:24:43,546
treasuries, though. Last year we made some very good investments late in the year

244
00:24:47,717 --> 00:24:47,717
and got almost 50 basis points on $7 million. So that results in about an extra $35,000 of

245
00:24:53,623 --> 00:24:53,623
interest per year to you guys. As john mentioned, we actually did a rfa primary depository

246
00:25:01,130 --> 00:25:01,130
rfa for you last year. I believe you ended up with wells fargo, and we helped negotiate

247
00:25:07,103 --> 00:25:07,103
a new rate at one of your existing banks, which added a significant amount of funds,

248
00:25:13,210 --> 00:25:13,210
about $35,000 more interest per month. So that was a pretty successful change there. And do

249
00:25:21,451 --> 00:25:21,451
you have any questions? I don't think so. Thank you for your great service over the last two

250
00:25:29,660 --> 00:25:29,660
years. I really appreciate you've helped our staff and helped our council do the most

251
00:25:34,298 --> 00:25:37,867
with what we have, so I appreciate that. Thank you. It's our pleasure. Hopefully the extra interest income helps your town achieve the goals. Thank you. All right. Next we

252
00:25:46,510 --> 00:25:46,510
will have a presentation on from hilltop truck park and development plans. I appreciate.

253
00:25:57,354 --> 00:25:57,354
it's going to take five minutes. All right. Can I do the keyboard with this. Click

254
00:26:05,997 --> 00:26:05,997
through it. Do the down arrow or you can click it. Okay. That's usually the easiest

255
00:26:10,668 --> 00:26:10,668
right? Perfect. You got it. Okay. How's everybody doing tonight? Good. Introduce

256
00:26:16,607 --> 00:26:16,607
yourself for everyone, please. Yeah. My name is trooper arnold. If you don't know me, I manage

257
00:26:20,678 --> 00:26:20,678
the the place up there called hilltop. Hopefully you love it some. It's on the fence, you

258
00:26:25,717 --> 00:26:25,717
know. But we're working for that. My family's been in northlake for 50 years. I've

259
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:31,923
spent my entire life on fm 407. I've never lived anywhere other than fm 407. When we started

260
00:26:38,028 --> 00:26:38,028
hilltop in 2018 as a small self store rv storage facility, it was my mom, my dad and I with,

261
00:26:46,671 --> 00:26:46,671
you know, 20 people, 40 people. And it grew into what it is today. And we continue to push

262
00:26:53,211 --> 00:26:53,211
to be the place for the community, whatever they needed, whether it was the storefront,

263
00:26:57,849 --> 00:26:57,849
the storage food, the food trucks came later, you know, but we didn't have a plan for

264
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:02,454
this. But it's become the plan. So I'll start today, and I like to mention everything that

265
00:27:08,427 --> 00:27:08,427
we're putting in today is, is to work for more. We've, we're willing to put it all out there.

266
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:14,333
what we want to do for anybody that doesn't know, none of that's in the town of north

267
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:18,470
lake. You all know this, but we want to be in the town. This is a long time coming. Been here

268
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:24,143
my whole life. My grandma was the first mayor of north lake, so I think we got to come full

269
00:27:28,814 --> 00:27:28,814
circle at some point. But I, I starting today, you know, so this is hilltop's operations

270
00:27:35,288 --> 00:27:35,288
today. You know, if we were able to come to an agreement on a developer's agreement, this

271
00:27:40,393 --> 00:27:40,393
would be our first phase as all these businesses here are 16 taxable businesses up at

272
00:27:44,397 --> 00:27:48,034
hilltop. We've got ten permanent food trucks from food all around the world. Anything you can think of. And we try to bring in different stuff as much as possible. Hilltop rv

273
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:53,005
and boat storage is 360 storage spaces. That remains above 90% full for the for the last five

274
00:27:59,045 --> 00:27:59,045
years, it's always there. Moving into the end of this year, we're going to add to our

275
00:28:04,251 --> 00:28:08,221
self storage phase. But in our office, we have our hilltop general store, most known as the grill shop, where we sell grills, charcoal pellets. Do you haul propane as well?

276
00:28:12,726 --> 00:28:12,726
another business opening this year is our coffee shop. That'll be a full drive through

277
00:28:17,031 --> 00:28:17,031
service, coffee, teas, pastry, the whole nine yards. We also have the hilltop hemp house,

278
00:28:21,535 --> 00:28:21,535
which is another local family from lantana, all family business, as well as our ghost

279
00:28:26,139 --> 00:28:26,139
kitchen operation where we have everett and elaine, which I'm sure most of you are familiar

280
00:28:30,277 --> 00:28:34,115
with, as well as simple meal prep. So lots of different businesses all within one business. And currently all of these businesses are ready today to, to, if we were to

281
00:28:40,053 --> 00:28:44,025
annex in these businesses are live and operating. A couple of them will expand on with storage and coffee. All those things are in the pipeline, you know, for spring or the fall,

282
00:28:48,996 --> 00:28:48,996
but it will happen in 2026. And with that, with our plan for 26, we've got here is our build out

283
00:28:54,869 --> 00:28:54,869
for self storage. At 67,000 square foot, it's about 360 lockers, over 30,000ft■!s of

284
00:29:01,342 --> 00:29:01,342
climate controlled storage. We're going to replace a quarter mile of thompson road.

285
00:29:05,413 --> 00:29:05,413
if you've driven down thompson road, you may have lost a crown, but it is what we're working

286
00:29:10,318 --> 00:29:10,318
with right now that's going to be a self-funded project house. We've got a company

287
00:29:15,034 --> 00:29:15,034
lined up ready to go for that. So everywhere from 407 to past all hilltop businesses would be

288
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:21,040
a concrete structure, all to the city's code standards. Everything we would do that's

289
00:29:27,113 --> 00:29:27,113
also going to have roadway lights, landscaping along the drive. Definitely a much better

290
00:29:32,217 --> 00:29:32,217
drive in than what you'll be dealing with today. As well as opening the hilltop coffee shop.

291
00:29:37,524 --> 00:29:37,524
so in these images here you can see the the self storage is five separate buildings, the

292
00:29:41,929 --> 00:29:41,929
two in the middle. Those will be our self storage, climate controlled, all interior units.

293
00:29:47,667 --> 00:29:47,667
and then the exterior will be non-climate controlled. And then the image on the right

294
00:29:51,837 --> 00:29:51,837
there shows our quarter mile of road all the way back. That goes past all the property that

295
00:29:57,945 --> 00:29:57,945
we manage as well as our coffee shop. We'll be the only drive through coffee shop in north

296
00:30:03,117 --> 00:30:03,117
lake. We plan to really promote that, making it easy and convenient for everybody that

297
00:30:08,188 --> 00:30:08,188
lives in the area. It's growing so fast you don't have time to get out of the car. Sometimes

298
00:30:12,527 --> 00:30:12,527
you just got to go, so hopefully everything goes right. That'll be april ish. You know,

299
00:30:18,332 --> 00:30:22,236
we're working out the the details and it's, it's close enough that you're testing out recipes, testing recipes, cooking, eating. So if you ever want to come by, we always got

300
00:30:27,308 --> 00:30:27,308
some samples, you know, but moving into what we want to do as far as land development, we

301
00:30:33,347 --> 00:30:33,347
still have quite a bit of our piece left. We have about 55 acres in total. We've only

302
00:30:37,719 --> 00:30:37,719
developed, you know, roughly 20 or so. So we still have, give or take 30 acres that we'd like

303
00:30:42,891 --> 00:30:42,891
to develop on. And we're here today because we have some sewer requirements that would

304
00:30:48,129 --> 00:30:48,129
be needed to meet these goals. We've worked out a few numbers and we can, you know, get to

305
00:30:53,668 --> 00:30:53,668
that on the back end. But our goal with hilltop is to create an experience, not something

306
00:30:57,839 --> 00:30:57,839
that's just a place to go to have dinner, to have a drink for the kids to play. It's

307
00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:02,710
something for people outside of north lake to come and try it out, hang out. We have so many

308
00:31:07,615 --> 00:31:10,819
different options for food that there's always something for somebody. And so in our plan for the next 3 to 5 years, we want to build a true experience. When you come into hilltop,

309
00:31:16,558 --> 00:31:16,558
something that people are proud of, that they live close by to, and they're willing to still

310
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:21,129
visit five days a week because there's always something going on, just like we do today.

311
00:31:25,167 --> 00:31:25,167
tonight we have the lance thompson pta. It'll be a packed house up there at the truck

312
00:31:29,204 --> 00:31:29,204
park. All the kids love it. The teachers, it's it's definitely a place. And so what we've

313
00:31:33,275 --> 00:31:33,275
created is a bootstrap building. We've done everything as best we can with what we have. And

314
00:31:38,247 --> 00:31:38,247
so the plan is to take all of those ideas and concepts and turn it into something

315
00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:43,519
grandiose, much bigger than what we've done today. So we have the hilltop hangout. This

316
00:31:47,623 --> 00:31:47,623
would be sitting on about three acres at the highest point of our property. This would be an

317
00:31:52,161 --> 00:31:52,161
all inside building, fully climate controlled, about 40,000 square foot eatery side.

318
00:31:57,567 --> 00:31:57,567
that would be 6 to 8 premium food vendors, all managed by hilltop. An issue we have at

319
00:32:02,004 --> 00:32:02,004
the moment is all the food trucks are their own business, their own people. We have no

320
00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:06,710
say so. Besides, here's what someone said. This would be something that we have to say,

321
00:32:10,713 --> 00:32:10,713
so it's drawn in. When there's a problem, there is a consequence. And that's just to

322
00:32:15,251 --> 00:32:15,251
hold the quality standard to where it needs to be. You know, you can fight somebody all day,

323
00:32:19,589 --> 00:32:19,589
but if it's in writing, it's something to talk about. But with the the play area that

324
00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:23,660
we've already created, we want to create an indoor outdoor play area for the two months of

325
00:32:28,398 --> 00:32:31,634
the year that it's just completely unbearable to be outside as well as, you know, potentially a full game arcade center and all of the staples that you would have that we

326
00:32:37,374 --> 00:32:37,374
have currently, you know, pizza, burgers, barbecue, we want to expand on that and have truly

327
00:32:44,048 --> 00:32:44,048
people that strive in their lane. They don't do everything. They do one thing and they do

328
00:32:49,086 --> 00:32:49,086
it great. And we feel that we can throw a really great party. And so if we can put all these

329
00:32:54,925 --> 00:32:54,925
pieces together that it could be more than that. And so attached to this building, we

330
00:32:58,929 --> 00:32:58,929
would hope to add a concert venue space as well. And that would be about 20,000 square

331
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:03,800
foot, fully insulated indoor space, no outside music to be heard. This is a

332
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,777
multifunctional space because six days of the week, when you're not doing anything, you need to have something you can do in there. And so what we've already done is the painting

333
00:33:18,615 --> 00:33:22,554
games, the trivia nights. We do a lot of networking, group music, bingo, all of these things are things that we could fill the schedule. And so everyone that lives in north

334
00:33:26,523 --> 00:33:26,523
lake far wide, even out, they have something to do all the time. And with this, obviously

335
00:33:32,297 --> 00:33:32,297
traffic will be a big issue. So we designated an area about two acres that we'd like to put in

336
00:33:38,370 --> 00:33:38,370
a parking garage, just to be a minimum two level, maybe three level, that would hold up to

337
00:33:42,507 --> 00:33:42,507
800 cars if we were able to fit it in there. And this is just to take that eyesore away. You

338
00:33:48,313 --> 00:33:48,313
know, right now we look at a lot of cars on a friday, saturday night, if we can put

339
00:33:52,517 --> 00:33:52,517
them in a nice clean parking garage, that from the outside just looks like another

340
00:33:56,521 --> 00:33:59,658
building, you know, esthetically pleasing kind of off the look that we've already created. The barn would rock, you know, that's very similar just so that it's not an

341
00:34:06,165 --> 00:34:06,165
eyesore from far away. But all this being backed up to the remaining 22 acres on hilltop

342
00:34:11,169 --> 00:34:11,169
to be a nine hole, par three golf course, this would be 22 acres is about the minimum to

343
00:34:18,076 --> 00:34:18,076
do something like this. This would be all short play, less than an hour of gameplay. And

344
00:34:23,815 --> 00:34:23,815
in this, you know, in a perfect world, we could get a well system for this because a golf

345
00:34:29,155 --> 00:34:29,155
course requires a lot of water, and I don't necessarily want to put that on the town to make it

346
00:34:34,327 --> 00:34:34,327
happen, but we think that a well would be able to cover the whole 22 acres, you know, give

347
00:34:39,532 --> 00:34:39,532
or take, you know, some other pieces. But this would all be open to the public memberships,

348
00:34:46,238 --> 00:34:46,238
schools, nearby, high schools that need to practice this would be ideal for any of them.

349
00:34:51,210 --> 00:34:51,210
but then this would go late into the night. We put in some low lights, low enough to where

350
00:34:55,482 --> 00:34:55,482
you don't see them from far away to where people can play golf up until ten 11:00 at

351
00:35:00,286 --> 00:35:00,286
night if they wanted to. And kind of a layout here shows you the full scale of what the

352
00:35:05,225 --> 00:35:05,225
course could be. We've got to do some adjustments on a couple holes, you know, make some

353
00:35:09,329 --> 00:35:09,329
things make a little more sense. But you can see the star. There would be the main building.

354
00:35:13,567 --> 00:35:17,371
that's where we would attach a clubhouse so that everybody playing could have direct access to the food and drinks and not have to walk a mile to get to the course. Right next

355
00:35:22,309 --> 00:35:26,280
to that being the parking garage. And right in the middle is our private residence. And so when it comes to the music, my head would be 200 yards from this stage. So this is I'm

356
00:35:31,284 --> 00:35:31,284
going to be the first one to call if there's a problem, but kind of give you a layout. Here

357
00:35:36,323 --> 00:35:36,323
is the full property that we have is hilltop storage. Up on the blue hilltop truck park in

358
00:35:40,460 --> 00:35:40,460
the yellow is actually only about two acres. And then the remaining, you know, parking

359
00:35:44,465 --> 00:35:44,465
par three, hilltop and then residential, you know, right there in the middle. So really

360
00:35:48,502 --> 00:35:48,502
what we would need to land on is a sewer situation. Figure out what we can get by. We've

361
00:35:54,441 --> 00:35:54,441
done some rough numbers, you know, but it's there's a lot of variables. You know, if things

362
00:35:58,512 --> 00:35:58,512
change in the future, who knows where other things fall out? We just kind of got to get it on

363
00:36:03,451 --> 00:36:03,451
paper and see what makes the most sense. But really just some things that we had on here

364
00:36:08,389 --> 00:36:08,389
that we want to kind of put out there is just a guarantee. If we were able to come to an

365
00:36:13,395 --> 00:36:13,395
agreement as a guarantee on the sewer for future phases, which would just be that main

366
00:36:17,432 --> 00:36:17,432
building, if we were able to come to something with a well on the golf course, it would be

367
00:36:22,337 --> 00:36:22,337
easy work. We're going to be giving thompson road, quarter mile road, about a million and

368
00:36:26,441 --> 00:36:26,441
a half worth of work, concrete work to the town of north lake. So really in return, just

369
00:36:30,912 --> 00:36:30,912
something to recoup that value. We don't expect to be paid out over time for adding, you know,

370
00:36:36,917 --> 00:36:36,917
more to the town. It's just that land value of the road. If we're going to give it in and

371
00:36:41,890 --> 00:36:41,890
put it in, we'll figure out some sort of way to make that back some sort of water meter.

372
00:36:46,828 --> 00:36:46,828
in the meantime, at the truck park, we do have quite a bit of water use there during the

373
00:36:51,133 --> 00:36:51,133
summer times, and a lot of that is for the slide and the mr. System, which we are being

374
00:36:56,004 --> 00:36:56,004
charged on the same side, water in, water out. And it's a hefty bill those three months out of

375
00:37:01,143 --> 00:37:01,143
the year. So that'd be that'd be nice. But a marketing plan of some sort. You know, we want

376
00:37:06,815 --> 00:37:06,815
to be a, a pillar of the community. We want people to be proud of it here. We want

377
00:37:11,721 --> 00:37:11,721
people to come off the highway, like from oklahoma to austin needs to have signs that say,

378
00:37:15,825 --> 00:37:15,825
this is the place to be. You know, it's, it's more than, you know, it started as storage,

379
00:37:20,129 --> 00:37:20,129
but it's more than that. We've, we've created this thing and we talk to people every week that

380
00:37:24,834 --> 00:37:24,834
come from coppell, grapevine, colleyville, they're driving to come hang out here. And we

381
00:37:28,871 --> 00:37:28,871
think we can really just expand on that for the people that are here. But, you know, minor

382
00:37:33,442 --> 00:37:37,413
contribution from the police for major events. You know, we're happy to pay. But if we were to figure out a term to make something work with the major events, 4th of july, new

383
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:47,524
year's eve, christmas parties, things like that, you know, something that would be beneficial to everybody across the board, as well as some crosswalk approval stuff down

384
00:37:52,562 --> 00:37:52,562
thompson road to to look at. But a main piece is our utv access. We are we don't drive

385
00:37:58,768 --> 00:37:58,768
cars. I don't leave the property. Everything is on a four wheeler or a side by side.

386
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:03,039
and so working with the police would be a big thing on that. You know, we continue our

387
00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:08,111
business as that road gets complete, you know, some sort of piece in there that says it

388
00:38:12,182 --> 00:38:12,182
will be alright to go from a to b with these machines without the trouble. You know, some

389
00:38:16,386 --> 00:38:16,386
points that we've gotten in the past, you know, we appreciate the phased annexation so that

390
00:38:20,457 --> 00:38:20,457
we can continue to build on denton county's building standards. It's just a hair a

391
00:38:24,629 --> 00:38:24,629
bit easier, you know, the impact fee things and then little pieces. But continuation

392
00:38:30,334 --> 00:38:30,334
of thompson road, that's a big goal for all of us. You know, if we're going to do that first

393
00:38:35,141 --> 00:38:39,110
quarter mile, that next quarter mile is going to tie us right into harvest. That'll be another way to get out of harvest. But another way to get to hilltop golf cart access. I

394
00:38:43,314 --> 00:38:43,314
know that's a big thing for a lot of the customers. And we definitely tell everybody,

395
00:38:47,585 --> 00:38:51,322
you're not allowed to drive them up, but that doesn't stop everybody. So it's something that we want to work on. You know, there's got to be a safer way to do it. There's a there's

396
00:38:56,327 --> 00:38:56,327
got to be a better way. You know, as far as the, the food trucks go, you know, I think

397
00:39:01,265 --> 00:39:01,265
the, the pioneer grants, a lot of those food trucks are trying to build their businesses and

398
00:39:06,037 --> 00:39:06,037
things in time. And, you know, that'd just be something maybe open for conversation, I should

399
00:39:10,641 --> 00:39:10,641
say. But the fireworks show that we put on is, is this last year was our first year to do a

400
00:39:16,447 --> 00:39:19,684
sponsored fireworks show. The first year we paid for everything. And it doesn't necessarily have an immediate return for hilltop. It's more just the people that are here.

401
00:39:23,588 --> 00:39:23,588
they enjoy the show. And so if there was some way to come to a term on a set price or set, you

402
00:39:29,495 --> 00:39:29,495
know, based off taxes, you know, that would be able to cover something, you know, in the

403
00:39:33,565 --> 00:39:33,565
long run. It's, it's really, I'm sure it's a matter of time before fireworks are going to

404
00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:37,670
be a no go because of how dense the area is right now, since we have the 30 acres is where the

405
00:39:43,508 --> 00:39:43,508
fire marshal's allowed us to let us shoot these off. So in time it might turn into a drone

406
00:39:47,712 --> 00:39:47,712
show. You know, we'll figure that out. But I think you know what we're bringing to the

407
00:39:52,485 --> 00:39:52,485
table as of today, if we were able to work this developers agreement out, is the

408
00:39:56,488 --> 00:39:56,488
contribution of the road, and that's going to give the town, you know, maybe some incentive

409
00:40:00,493 --> 00:40:00,493
to be able to tie that piece in. If we did everything today, you know, that'd be 80 to 100,000 a

410
00:40:05,530 --> 00:40:05,530
year in tax revenue to the town. You'd be able to claim the 16 new businesses for the town of

411
00:40:10,569 --> 00:40:10,569
north lake, all open as of now. And then by 2030, we make all this piece work. We build a

412
00:40:15,541 --> 00:40:15,541
concert venue, food hall, event rentals. I mean, the whole space there will be used seven

413
00:40:19,612 --> 00:40:19,612
days a week and then including golf course memberships and fees, it could be anywhere from

414
00:40:24,884 --> 00:40:24,884
250 to 500,000. Really, there's no way to tell right now. We had no plan when we started

415
00:40:29,455 --> 00:40:29,455
this, and so by then it could be even bigger. But ideally we do a slow phasing plan just

416
00:40:34,361 --> 00:40:34,361
through we, you know, take a piece at a time so that we can build it as we need to and

417
00:40:39,399 --> 00:40:39,399
obviously do it right, do it, you know, county standards, but everything that we've built so

418
00:40:43,437 --> 00:40:43,437
far has been inspected by 100 different departments, and we haven't failed one yet. So I

419
00:40:48,876 --> 00:40:48,876
think that we've got a pretty good idea on how to build it. But we we need some help on the

420
00:40:53,947 --> 00:40:53,947
outside output, you know, sewer, water, things, things that we'll need to obviously need

421
00:40:59,186 --> 00:40:59,186
the town's help for those things. But I'd like to say here in conclusion, hilltop's

422
00:41:06,326 --> 00:41:10,230
always been more than just building a business. It's been about creating a place where people gather, small businesses can grow, and where community feels welcome. My my family's

423
00:41:14,166 --> 00:41:14,166
been here for 50 years and we intend to be here for the next 50. We're committed to building

424
00:41:18,706 --> 00:41:18,706
hilltop the right way responsibly, thoughtfully, and the partnership with the town

425
00:41:22,777 --> 00:41:22,777
of north lake. And we truly believe this project can become something the town is proud of.

426
00:41:26,848 --> 00:41:30,551
and we appreciate the opportunity to continue working to make that happen again. Thank you for the time. Thank you very much. Yeah. Council. Any questions I got? I got one

427
00:41:40,127 --> 00:41:40,127
for you on the the food trucks and then the was it the hilltop hangout? Yes sir. Are you is

428
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:46,600
your plan to have both coincide with each other? Yes. We start with the truck park and I'll be

429
00:41:52,707 --> 00:41:52,707
immediate tax revenue for the town. Kind of a show of faith to go across the street and see

430
00:41:57,111 --> 00:41:57,111
that it could be more. But all of it would be northlake. Yes, sir. And and the food trucks

431
00:42:02,050 --> 00:42:02,050
will stay there when the hilltop hangout is in. New vendors go in there. Or is that

432
00:42:06,054 --> 00:42:06,054
kind of like a phase out the food truck and go to the hangout? It would have to be

433
00:42:10,959 --> 00:42:10,959
probably a phase out in some form or fashion. I mean, right now it's kind of like football

434
00:42:15,864 --> 00:42:19,134
tryouts. You know, we're trying to see who's got the best performance, who can really play with the big dogs. I mean, we see food trucks that come through all the time. A lot of

435
00:42:24,005 --> 00:42:24,005
them that work in the inner cities and stuff, they can't deal with the traffic that

436
00:42:28,143 --> 00:42:28,143
comes up there, so they get long wait times, quality drops, and that's all things that we

437
00:42:32,848 --> 00:42:32,848
take into account to know if we're inviting them back. And so a lot of our trucks that are

438
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:37,119
out there now have been vetted in a way. And so we'd like to be able to take those vendors

439
00:42:42,191 --> 00:42:42,191
and use them in that space. You know, that's the goal is give them a better platform to

440
00:42:46,929 --> 00:42:50,833
perform what they're already doing, and most likely would have to phase that out over time, though, and, you know, do something different. But this would all be, you know, okay.

441
00:42:54,837 --> 00:42:54,837
yeah. And that's what I was getting at because I like the idea of the hilltop hangout. I

442
00:42:59,075 --> 00:42:59,075
think that's a pretty, pretty neat idea. The concern was when the food trucks go away, what's

443
00:43:03,112 --> 00:43:03,112
your plan for that area or do you have one yet? I guess, I mean, I always got a plan for

444
00:43:08,852 --> 00:43:08,852
something, but it's in a perfect world. We'd turn it into a a quaint, you know, sit

445
00:43:12,922 --> 00:43:16,859
down breakfast operation. You know something? My dad, his favorite meal of the day is breakfast. We've always had. That's the one that got the most love. And I'd love to have

446
00:43:21,064 --> 00:43:21,064
something there that was unique breakfast, you know, not your normal cafe things, you know,

447
00:43:25,502 --> 00:43:25,502
and something that one would still be able to have the kid presence, you know, you can

448
00:43:30,407 --> 00:43:30,407
have the area for the turf, we can put in playgrounds. We still have all of that land

449
00:43:34,578 --> 00:43:34,578
there to use. It would just be a matter of, of what we do with the interior, you know, working

450
00:43:39,649 --> 00:43:39,649
with the county. They want us to sprinkle that building based off of occupancy today because

451
00:43:43,954 --> 00:43:43,954
of how many people come. So if we were to classify that as a sit down restaurant and sit

452
00:43:48,926 --> 00:43:48,926
fixed tables, we could stay below the the occupancy under the roof. And I think we could

453
00:43:54,264 --> 00:43:54,264
build it out without having to do the sprinkler system, which that's a huge cost. And that's

454
00:43:58,602 --> 00:43:58,602
really a hiccup in the, in the ride. So but there's definitely a plan for, you know, we have

455
00:44:03,608 --> 00:44:03,608
another space in our storefront that we'd love to work with. It's about 3000 square foot and

456
00:44:09,146 --> 00:44:09,146
it's, you know, right in line with our grill shop, hemp house and the coffee. It's just a,

457
00:44:13,284 --> 00:44:13,284
it's a perfect little bay that my wife would like to do a play cafe or something for the

458
00:44:19,123 --> 00:44:22,793
younger kids. Moms can get inside and not have to be outside playing with all the big kids in the sun and stuff. We added a toddler bounce house four weeks ago to the truck

459
00:44:27,731 --> 00:44:27,731
park area, and it's been the busiest thing we've ever had. I mean, 9:00 in the morning,

460
00:44:31,835 --> 00:44:31,835
parents are lining up waiting to blow them up, you know, so it's there's a need for every

461
00:44:36,842 --> 00:44:40,779
age group. The younger, the middle, the teenagers, they always want something to do. And parents don't want to be confined to ordering food at home or having to pick it up

462
00:44:45,150 --> 00:44:45,150
and bring it home. They want to be able to go out, take the kids and then feel safe. You

463
00:44:50,122 --> 00:44:50,122
know, that's one of the biggest things people tell me is they feel safe with their kids up

464
00:44:54,292 --> 00:44:54,292
there. And, you know, we just built the place as enclosed as we could so that they couldn't

465
00:44:59,231 --> 00:44:59,231
go anywhere. But I think it's more the parents come up there so often that they feel safe.

466
00:45:05,136 --> 00:45:05,136
any other questions? I, I have a little bit so I have been a fan of this. That's no. I feel

467
00:45:13,112 --> 00:45:13,112
like that's not a surprise that I've been able to work with you. And I am so thankful to your

468
00:45:20,285 --> 00:45:20,285
family for the time and the energy that you put into what you've put together, and that I

469
00:45:25,324 --> 00:45:25,324
kind of want to put it on record that I feel like, you know, we're going to let the

470
00:45:29,528 --> 00:45:29,528
the big kids drew and you guys figure out the details, but that I can't wait to see what

471
00:45:34,834 --> 00:45:34,834
you build and how it works. Because the point that I've made to a couple people is

472
00:45:39,738 --> 00:45:39,738
you're building this, you have a plan and you're doing it anyway. I just want you here in

473
00:45:44,810 --> 00:45:44,810
the town. So I, I'm happy to hear you say you want to be in the town. We want to get you

474
00:45:50,083 --> 00:45:50,083
here. So thank you for the work that you put into this. I think you did a really great job and

475
00:45:55,889 --> 00:45:59,092
it looks really exciting, especially as a mom with teenagers, to have a place to go, which I know we have so many neighbors that have little kids, but the hangout and the

476
00:46:03,963 --> 00:46:03,963
golf course is somewhere that my teenagers would live. They would be a fan to stay there,

477
00:46:08,101 --> 00:46:08,101
and I think by the time it's built out, they may be college aged, so I might be trying to

478
00:46:13,072 --> 00:46:13,072
woo them back home. Yeah, right. It's great whenever kids come back. I mean, that's what it's

479
00:46:17,210 --> 00:46:17,210
always. It's nice for us around the holidays when families come up, people we see on a regular

480
00:46:22,015 --> 00:46:25,986
basis and they've brought their entire family and they're just bringing them up there to show them just what we've done. And so, you know, go back to we never had a plan, but the

481
00:46:30,891 --> 00:46:34,260
community with their input and their advice along the way, I mean, anything that someone says is valuable, we try to take it in and see how feasible it is today or if it's a six

482
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:39,900
month plan, or is it a 12 month plan? Pretty much any input we've ever gotten, we've put

483
00:46:44,071 --> 00:46:44,071
into play. At some point, I will say I'd like to get the grill shop into phase one. We

484
00:46:48,943 --> 00:46:48,943
can make something happen. I think we can. We could take that whole thing. That's what

485
00:46:52,980 --> 00:46:56,884
we'll figure out. Well, I appreciate the feedback you've taken from council and the few meetings you've had with me. This is exactly what we're looking for, is a plan of

486
00:47:01,555 --> 00:47:01,555
action and to move forward. Very nice presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Any other

487
00:47:07,195 --> 00:47:07,195
questions? I just appreciate the thought that has gone into this. And I think it would be a

488
00:47:11,933 --> 00:47:11,933
great addition to the town of north lake. So thank you for all the work that your family

489
00:47:16,871 --> 00:47:16,871
does and and has done to present this. And I say it all the time. We couldn't do it

490
00:47:21,742 --> 00:47:21,742
without the people, you know, people's advice and input and showing up hot days, rainy days.

491
00:47:25,747 --> 00:47:25,747
I mean, the other night, that crazy storm, we had 12 people that rode out the storm at the

492
00:47:29,984 --> 00:47:29,984
bar through the whole thing. They stayed, you know, and it's not made for that. But I have

493
00:47:34,856 --> 00:47:34,856
to say, I see part of everton lane here with no pie, and I feel like that's worth saying.

494
00:47:39,761 --> 00:47:39,761
I told him to bring samples. Yeah. Anyway. All right. Well thank you very much. Appreciate

495
00:47:44,866 --> 00:47:44,866
your time. Appreciate it. Yeah. All right. Moving on here. We have a briefing on policy

496
00:47:51,106 --> 00:47:51,106
options for winter averaging during freeze events. Drew. John, you're going to present

497
00:47:56,178 --> 00:47:56,178
this. Thank you. Yes, I'll lead into this. With the winter freeze and everybody dripping

498
00:48:03,686 --> 00:48:03,686
pipes, we saw on social media people asking about winter averaging. So I asked you to

499
00:48:08,057 --> 00:48:08,057
get this on the agenda for a presentation of options, and we will dive into it then. So as

500
00:48:14,897 --> 00:48:14,897
the the mayor has already alluded to, this is something that he's asked for us to bring

501
00:48:19,301 --> 00:48:19,301
before council, just to list out some options. So just to review the background of how we

502
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:23,940
got to this point, for the last few years, we have had a number of freezes where the

503
00:48:29,278 --> 00:48:29,278
temperatures have been 32 or below for at least three consecutive days. So back in

504
00:48:34,349 --> 00:48:34,349
february 21st, 23 and 25, and then most recently here in january 26th. Now, those

505
00:48:39,789 --> 00:48:43,393
conditions did require town hall to close. We did advise the public to drip faucets in order to prevent pipe damage and to protect their assets. And that dripping may have led

506
00:48:48,364 --> 00:48:48,364
to higher water usage for the customer based on their own usage, plus dripping and the

507
00:48:52,769 --> 00:48:52,769
town response in each of these events. Back in february 2021, we did remove the highest month

508
00:48:59,142 --> 00:48:59,142
from the winter average in 23 and 25. No action was taken and then in 26, town staff have

509
00:49:04,481 --> 00:49:04,481
been directed to explore doing something similar to 21, which was is removing the highest

510
00:49:09,286 --> 00:49:09,286
usage month for the winter average for this year. We also just dove into what was the

511
00:49:15,425 --> 00:49:15,425
cost of an actual drip. I'm not going to go through all of this. I wanted to present this here

512
00:49:20,431 --> 00:49:20,431
just in case anybody from the public wanted to go back. Look at how they could calculate

513
00:49:24,602 --> 00:49:24,602
their drip and what that impact was. They can do that. That website at the bottom there

514
00:49:28,639 --> 00:49:28,639
that's provided by the us geological survey. They provide a calculator that you can use.

515
00:49:34,544 --> 00:49:38,049
but we ran some quick calculations. We used some assumptions. And just based on a five day, just like we saw this year with the freeze being going over five days, we saw

516
00:49:45,489 --> 00:49:45,489
kind of at the highest level of assumptions, 285 gallons being used. If you were dripping

517
00:49:50,127 --> 00:49:50,127
almost nonstop, it's about $1.46 on your bill for that month. And then the impact to

518
00:49:55,733 --> 00:49:55,733
winter average, which I think is the key question, is it would add 95 gallons to your

519
00:50:00,438 --> 00:50:00,438
winter average for the rest of the year. If you were just assuming just we had to hold

520
00:50:05,376 --> 00:50:05,376
all things equal in doing the calculations, just assuming a 5000 gallons per month winter

521
00:50:10,148 --> 00:50:10,148
average and that 95 gallon increase would equate to about $0.50 per month. Now, the

522
00:50:16,721 --> 00:50:20,358
current practice of the town follows is we have our winter averaging period from december to february. So those three months we base our sewer on that winter average, which is

523
00:50:24,929 --> 00:50:24,929
based on your water consumption during that month, those months. And then we don't currently

524
00:50:29,601 --> 00:50:29,601
have a formal freeze trigger. So when a freeze event occurs, we tend to just look at it, see

525
00:50:35,139 --> 00:50:35,139
if there's anything that we can do. If council decides wants to direct us to do anything and

526
00:50:39,578 --> 00:50:39,578
then we move on from there, now we've come up with three possible policy options related

527
00:50:44,016 --> 00:50:44,016
to freezes. One is creating a defined freeze declaration that would have a formal definition

528
00:50:49,621 --> 00:50:49,621
of a freeze, and then lead to an automatic trigger with an automatic outcome. Another is a

529
00:50:55,294 --> 00:50:55,294
four month winter average period. So move from a three to a four month and we'll drop the

530
00:50:59,832 --> 00:50:59,832
highest. And then the other is just to continue our policy right now of yearly evaluation.

531
00:51:04,003 --> 00:51:07,840
there's no formal freeze trigger. And we take steps to provide some type of response if council directs us to take a look into it. And john, when you were researching this,

532
00:51:11,977 --> 00:51:11,977
number two was probably the most common. Number two is the most common. So among other

533
00:51:16,849 --> 00:51:16,849
other communities in texas and other areas. Yeah. So ones nearby that use number two, you

534
00:51:22,588 --> 00:51:22,588
have lake dallas, which does this. So does corinth. There's some larger ones with arlington

535
00:51:26,827 --> 00:51:26,827
and grand prairie. And then reaching a little further out, you can see that white

536
00:51:31,531 --> 00:51:31,531
settlement does as well. The definitely the first option was the least used. We really only

537
00:51:38,505 --> 00:51:38,505
found one example, and it was an example that a mud of a mud. And then the yearly evaluation

538
00:51:44,011 --> 00:51:44,011
that tends to be what others default to if they don't have any type of policy. This is

539
00:51:50,017 --> 00:51:50,017
just a comparison of those policies. We split it into the summary, which I briefly

540
00:51:54,522 --> 00:51:54,522
already went through, the benefits, the challenges of those policies, and then the

541
00:51:58,526 --> 00:51:58,526
potential impact on the town and town staff. So just looking at the benefits. Option one, it

542
00:52:04,998 --> 00:52:04,998
is based on an event. The relief will happen when the event occurs. It's predictable.

543
00:52:09,236 --> 00:52:09,236
we know what to do and we also can't predict it when there's non freeze years. And then

544
00:52:15,376 --> 00:52:15,376
council can define that event and what the response should be to that with option two does

545
00:52:21,683 --> 00:52:21,683
provide us with more predictable revenue. The four month winter average and

546
00:52:25,853 --> 00:52:25,853
dropping the highest helps to kind of smooth out the effects. Instead of guessing from year

547
00:52:29,857 --> 00:52:29,857
to year whether we're going to have a freeze or not. And then it does help to mitigate the

548
00:52:34,128 --> 00:52:37,966
freeze issue, since in theory we would be dropping the highest month, which we're hoping is that freeze month where you had to drip. And then the last one is just maintains

549
00:52:42,170 --> 00:52:42,170
the current policy. It maintains the most discretion for council. Council can decide

550
00:52:46,541 --> 00:52:46,541
what to do based on yearly events. The challenges with option one, we do have to

551
00:52:51,813 --> 00:52:51,813
define what that freeze event is. It could be based on the number of consecutive days at

552
00:52:55,883 --> 00:52:55,883
32 or below. It could be based on the fact that town hall closes and how long town hall

553
00:53:00,855 --> 00:53:00,855
is closed. I'm sure there's other options, but those are just a few that came to our

554
00:53:04,893 --> 00:53:08,763
minds readily. It does provide less predictable revenue, and then it does create the expectation for future years. And sometimes that expectation may not align with what

555
00:53:11,866 --> 00:53:11,866
residents expect. And then option two would require an ordinance. And then we would

556
00:53:16,871 --> 00:53:16,871
just need to decide which month to add to the winter average. It's either going to be

557
00:53:21,242 --> 00:53:21,242
november or it's going to be march. And then option three is the challenges. There is no

558
00:53:27,350 --> 00:53:27,350
predefined criteria. It is it does create a level of uncertainty for residents,

559
00:53:31,620 --> 00:53:31,620
since we're operating just on a yearly evaluation based on the event and what response council,

560
00:53:37,426 --> 00:53:37,426
if any, would like to take in terms of impact, one and two does have the potential to

561
00:53:44,367 --> 00:53:44,367
reduce reduce revenue. And then there is a moderate administrative burden for

562
00:53:48,771 --> 00:53:48,771
option one. When a freeze does take effect, we do have to go into our system. We do have to

563
00:53:54,243 --> 00:53:54,243
go make adjustments. Versus option two. We essentially just update our policy within our

564
00:53:58,748 --> 00:54:01,951
utility billing system from three months to four months, pick the months, and then it runs on its own from from that point forward. And we just set the flag to drop the highest

565
00:54:06,956 --> 00:54:06,956
month out of those four. And with option three, there is there's no real current revenue

566
00:54:13,062 --> 00:54:13,062
impact or administrative burden unless action is taken. Otherwise, it's just business

567
00:54:18,068 --> 00:54:18,068
as usual. And so I guess what we're looking for tonight is just direction from council

568
00:54:23,607 --> 00:54:23,607
about which policy direction you would like to go. If we need to look into this some

569
00:54:27,977 --> 00:54:27,977
more, or if we need to provide any additional information. I love seeing option two on there

570
00:54:34,651 --> 00:54:34,651
because that's what I didn't. I didn't have it as I wouldn't have been able to explain it,

571
00:54:40,457 --> 00:54:40,457
but that's what I wish that we had already. So that's my my vote is for option two. I have

572
00:54:46,363 --> 00:54:46,363
a question with the, you know, with every house and place having the electronic meters

573
00:54:53,103 --> 00:54:53,103
now, is there not a way that could isolate those just the days instead of pulling a month

574
00:54:59,143 --> 00:54:59,143
and then removing those days from the average. So the, the cellular meters and the program

575
00:55:04,648 --> 00:55:04,648
for tracking that is separate from our actual utility billing software. They do work in

576
00:55:09,754 --> 00:55:09,754
tandem, but the software that we use with opengov, and I'm not aware of any other

577
00:55:14,024 --> 00:55:14,024
companies that offer what you're indicating, the ability to isolate certain days and

578
00:55:18,062 --> 00:55:18,062
then just remove those. Most companies. And the one that we're with at opengov, it's the

579
00:55:23,334 --> 00:55:23,334
entire month or nothing. You drop it and exclude it or you keep it, but it doesn't allow

580
00:55:28,973 --> 00:55:28,973
us to isolate specific days. Did you guys, I know I tell people out there, you know,

581
00:55:37,048 --> 00:55:37,048
when it's cold, cold, you know, 32, 28 to 32, you really don't gotta drip anything, right? So

582
00:55:42,754 --> 00:55:42,754
days below 32 or, you know, questionable. But when we get down in those twelves and stuff

583
00:55:49,328 --> 00:55:49,328
like that, you don't drip, you stream. And I didn't know if you tried to compare some of

584
00:55:53,932 --> 00:55:53,932
those impacts numbers for a number of gallons and things like that versus actual usage.

585
00:55:59,070 --> 00:55:59,070
you may have seen in the eye on water, because I think I collected data during that time

586
00:56:06,178 --> 00:56:06,178
and it was significantly higher, like ten x. And I think that's part of the challenge is the

587
00:56:13,018 --> 00:56:13,018
variation between households. We used. We tried to use the us usgs calculator, and the max it

588
00:56:19,491 --> 00:56:19,491
allows us to do is 120 minutes per second in doing those calculations. And so the

589
00:56:25,932 --> 00:56:25,932
challenge is, is identifying in our system what information to pull to then run a similar

590
00:56:31,403 --> 00:56:31,403
situation. Of course, all that data becomes a non-issue if we look at option two. So I just

591
00:56:36,041 --> 00:56:36,041
wanted to weigh that because I actually know I sent drew some data that I had collected. I'm

592
00:56:40,814 --> 00:56:40,814
like, wow, that's, that's literally dripping. Well, in the world we live in, there's

593
00:56:46,118 --> 00:56:49,822
plenty of data and it depends on what you draw from. Hey, ford, chevy and dodge are all best selling trucks in america. So that's what I like it because it's a fail safe for

594
00:56:56,062 --> 00:56:56,062
when your family refuses to get on board. Sometimes with the. My family's a little slow or

595
00:57:01,567 --> 00:57:01,567
forgetful about the winter averaging. So in addition to the freezes, I'm pretty happy

596
00:57:06,639 --> 00:57:06,639
to have an option that helps us repair our bad month, I think. I mean, I do think the option

597
00:57:13,546 --> 00:57:13,546
to drop the highest is like that is good. The challenge is freezes don't always happen

598
00:57:19,953 --> 00:57:19,953
perfectly within a month either. So what happens when it happens over weekend, january to

599
00:57:24,657 --> 00:57:24,657
february or december to january? And so then in two different months, right? Then you've got

600
00:57:29,495 --> 00:57:29,495
two different months where you've got this happening. So I should probably adjust the

601
00:57:34,335 --> 00:57:34,335
language here in just a little bit. I think we use month for shorthand because it's what

602
00:57:38,638 --> 00:57:41,809
clicks with people's heads a little bit more, but it's billing cycles, which do stretch a little bit from the tail end of one month and then through most of another month.

603
00:57:46,646 --> 00:57:46,646
so yeah. True. But you get that drip over two different billing cycles. So it does help a

604
00:57:56,023 --> 00:57:56,023
little bit, but you don't capture it all. You only capture half of it. And then

605
00:58:00,060 --> 00:58:00,060
we're still you have more. And then we're hoping that at least drops the highest month to at

606
00:58:04,566 --> 00:58:04,566
least level that out. There may not be a perfect solution. The perfect solution is probably

607
00:58:09,403 --> 00:58:09,403
that we could isolate and remove that for everybody, but we currently, with our current

608
00:58:13,475 --> 00:58:13,475
system, don't have that option. I don't think we can afford the staff to do that. I hope we go

609
00:58:20,448 --> 00:58:20,448
through everything I'm thinking. I kind of agree with doctor sessions. I, I think it's only

610
00:58:29,057 --> 00:58:29,057
happened a few times in the last few years. I mean, I'm fine with option two if that's

611
00:58:33,227 --> 00:58:33,227
the way we want to go, but I. Option three, for me, I think we're reasonable enough people

612
00:58:38,066 --> 00:58:38,066
like you said that we can bring this whenever there's an issue. That would solve. Then the

613
00:58:44,539 --> 00:58:44,539
challenge with if it did go over two months to understand a little better and, and need to

614
00:58:50,645 --> 00:58:50,645
adjust if needed. Yeah, I would agree with that as well. Option three looking at that one, I

615
00:58:56,085 --> 00:58:56,085
disagree just to make sure that the stance is known and that I got messages this week about

616
00:59:02,157 --> 00:59:06,128
people getting their new getting prepared for their new billing on winter averaging. And every single year it's the same thing. And maybe it's just new residents where they have

617
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:10,800
no idea what they're looking at, how to account for it. And I just think I out before the

618
00:59:18,707 --> 00:59:18,707
freeze or anything like that, a, a process like option two, I think is the most

619
00:59:26,282 --> 00:59:26,282
understandable and the lowest burden, but it also helps our residents more. I love, I like

620
00:59:32,489 --> 00:59:32,489
that one, so I want to make sure I had an edit for john on this slide that we didn't get

621
00:59:37,593 --> 00:59:37,593
in there. But when you lead with no revenue impact or administrative burden, unless

622
00:59:43,967 --> 00:59:43,967
you guys just read the no revenue impact, if we do this, there will be a revenue impact.

623
00:59:48,638 --> 00:59:48,638
but I think the administrative burden will actually be high to moderate because of all the

624
00:59:54,411 --> 00:59:54,411
kind of decisions in the back and forth and bringing it to you. So just to be just to be

625
01:00:00,150 --> 01:00:00,150
transparent, I think that would be a better, a better statement of that impact. You're saying

626
01:00:05,923 --> 01:00:05,923
option three has more impact than I think it has as much as option one or more because of

627
01:00:11,260 --> 01:00:11,260
all that, you know, adjustments, study and adjustment to bring it before, before you. But what

628
01:00:17,433 --> 01:00:17,433
we'll do is we'll bring you what I'm hearing is we'll bring you an option to for action,

629
01:00:23,908 --> 01:00:23,908
and then you can vote that up and up or down if you vote against option two will default

630
01:00:29,413 --> 01:00:29,413
to option three, which we are now if you vote for option two will implement option two with

631
01:00:35,152 --> 01:00:35,152
the ordinance. Does that sound like a path forward? Okay, but we need to get the winter

632
01:00:42,293 --> 01:00:42,293
averaging set as well right now kind of six months. Yes, sir. Well, I'm saying it's time to

633
01:00:49,434 --> 01:00:49,434
engage winter averaging. It may have already hit some of the bills. So do we need to take

634
01:00:54,872 --> 01:00:54,872
any staff direction for what to do with this billing cycle. Because we're finishing up the

635
01:01:00,245 --> 01:01:00,245
billing cycle now. Or did it just finish? We just started drawing pulling reads so we

636
01:01:04,616 --> 01:01:08,186
haven't built out yet. So we haven't applied winter averaging yet. Right. So what I'm thinking is we might have to take some sort of action or give you direction for what to

637
01:01:13,225 --> 01:01:13,225
do now, like taking option three, the option policy and then and then next month or

638
01:01:19,731 --> 01:01:19,731
month after bring up for a vote if we want to go with option two moving forward. Okay. So my

639
01:01:26,204 --> 01:01:26,204
question, the council would be, would you like direct staff to drop the month so that they can

640
01:01:32,978 --> 01:01:32,978
complete winter averaging? Because we don't have our next council meeting. And as long as

641
01:01:38,383 --> 01:01:38,383
that passes legal muster, I asked for it to be put on here. So just drop staff to drop

642
01:01:46,725 --> 01:01:46,725
january for this year and then we'll still bring this back for future policy. Yes. Yeah.

643
01:01:54,967 --> 01:01:54,967
january. February, february. Well, we'll we'll do it whenever the freeze was. Yeah.

644
01:02:00,473 --> 01:02:00,473
I think it's february. It was a birthday freeze every year for my kids. 26. It was actually

645
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:07,480
over the. Yeah. February 22nd ish. Right. Yeah. So that would be february. We'll make sure

646
01:02:12,285 --> 01:02:12,285
the highest month gets dropped is what will end up being okay or the highest billing cycle.

647
01:02:16,522 --> 01:02:20,493
so let's go ahead and take care of that. So you're wearing averaging process can complete bills can be set and then bring this back for a vote for future policy. Good. Yes, sir. All

648
01:02:25,565 --> 01:02:25,565
right. Excellent. Thank you council I appreciate that. And then item f changes to section

649
01:02:33,539 --> 01:02:33,539
48 e clean investment credit. Drew. Come on up. Hello again. So would we started the star

650
01:02:48,288 --> 01:02:48,288
center project. There was an opportunity to get a energy capture energy recapture tax

651
01:02:55,095 --> 01:02:55,095
credit. This was an initiative of the nhl. The stars, our tenant at the star center and

652
01:03:02,269 --> 01:03:02,269
contractor lee lewis encouraged us to look at this. We. We engage ernst young in helping

653
01:03:11,311 --> 01:03:11,311
us submit this tax credit to the irs, and we anticipated receiving 2.2 to 2.4 million in

654
01:03:19,987 --> 01:03:19,987
tax credit because at the time, it was 30% of the cost of the system. And then there was a

655
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:26,760
change in administration. And the new requirements were that it should only be 30% of the

656
01:03:32,032 --> 01:03:32,032
cost differential between the energy recapture system and the conventional system. So a

657
01:03:39,006 --> 01:03:39,006
pretty big decrease. So the updated tax credit amount now is around $1 million. Also, the

658
01:03:46,648 --> 01:03:46,648
new requirement states a injection pipe to qualify. This was a new requirement. And so

659
01:03:52,787 --> 01:03:52,787
this is in addition to this wasn't part of the original scope of the project. There's

660
01:03:57,859 --> 01:03:57,859
an item on your consent agenda for this. It's spending 80,000 to get the million. In the

661
01:04:10,639 --> 01:04:10,639
meantime, the nhl has agreed to reimburse the town for the ernst and young's consulting

662
01:04:17,079 --> 01:04:17,079
fees, and they're going to use that. They're going to own that as a as a study for their other

663
01:04:24,987 --> 01:04:24,987
facilities and other teams. So you can do your math. Two minus one is $1 million shortfall.

664
01:04:34,029 --> 01:04:34,029
but and you heard earlier from valley view, we have wisely invested the the proceeds for

665
01:04:40,836 --> 01:04:40,836
this project. And we have within our project ample reserves. We have $1 million to

666
01:04:49,111 --> 01:04:49,111
to offset this. And we'll be we'll be applying for our tax credit for the remaining

667
01:04:56,319 --> 01:04:56,319
million dollars. So those are those are the changes related to the energy recapture tax

668
01:05:03,492 --> 01:05:03,492
credit. Any questions? Did I tell you I hate grants? Yeah. I think I've mentioned that. I

669
01:05:12,602 --> 01:05:12,602
mentioned that before. I went through this a little bit with drew in the background and with

670
01:05:17,206 --> 01:05:17,206
the stars and the administration change and the, you know, tax friendliness of

671
01:05:23,746 --> 01:05:23,746
if you do anything green, you know, that that changed a lot with the last administration

672
01:05:28,751 --> 01:05:28,751
change. So we're grateful the program still around, though it's changed and the scope has

673
01:05:34,157 --> 01:05:34,157
changed. Fortunately, you've seen the quarterly investment reports and seen what the

674
01:05:39,596 --> 01:05:39,596
investment of the bond money has done for the star center and how that's performed. So we

675
01:05:44,267 --> 01:05:44,267
are well covered and we can still get something out of this. So I'll say that the the change

676
01:05:52,241 --> 01:05:52,241
in administration brought us mp materials and lost us part of this grant. So we're kind of up

677
01:05:58,883 --> 01:05:58,883
in the end. So we are definitely up in that regard. So alright, thank you, drew,

678
01:06:03,587 --> 01:06:03,587
for explaining that if there's no questions, we will move forward to public input. My

679
01:06:08,326 --> 01:06:08,326
first card tonight, joel mcgregor. Joel mcgregor 8921. Assembly line and the this

680
01:06:19,838 --> 01:06:19,838
whole winter averaging and all that stuff. Seems like we're spending a lot of time and

681
01:06:27,311 --> 01:06:27,311
effort over nothing. I mean, the. The example was $0.50. And, you know, grant, I understand

682
01:06:36,455 --> 01:06:36,455
your point that sometimes people have to run a lot more water. That kind of confuses me

683
01:06:41,660 --> 01:06:41,660
too, because I identified things that would freeze at my place and I got all kinds of

684
01:06:46,097 --> 01:06:46,097
stuff, and I fixed all of them. And I don't have to drip water or anything anymore, you know?

685
01:06:53,672 --> 01:06:53,672
but since you guys can answer factual questions, how, how does this actually affect

686
01:06:59,611 --> 01:06:59,611
people's bills for the year if they have to, you know, if they pay five bucks more or

687
01:07:04,517 --> 01:07:04,517
something for a month and we got to pay the wastewater anyway, and that goes back into

688
01:07:11,356 --> 01:07:11,356
the system. So doesn't it, isn't it a wash anyway, if we give it, if we give it up and

689
01:07:17,129 --> 01:07:17,129
what they're paying for wastewater, we got to make it up somewhere if we're actually

690
01:07:21,834 --> 01:07:21,834
using the wastewater. And if we're not, the rates will balance themselves out, right?

691
01:07:27,206 --> 01:07:27,206
so since we can't meter individual wastewater flows, right? Right. When people drip

692
01:07:33,712 --> 01:07:33,712
the water and depending on the number set that you get in data set, you get it could affect

693
01:07:39,418 --> 01:07:39,418
somebody. Most people come in at around 2000 gallons, 3000 gallons in the winter,

694
01:07:44,824 --> 01:07:44,824
averaging somewhere in that range. You could easily tack on 33% to that pretty quickly. I

695
01:07:51,731 --> 01:07:51,731
think I ran 1100 gallons nine well water, but still older home, things like that. So it

696
01:08:00,072 --> 01:08:00,072
could affect that wastewater averaging for what actually goes down the drain, but a

697
01:08:04,677 --> 01:08:04,677
fairly significant amount up to 30, 35%. So we want to make sure that people aren't paying

698
01:08:09,882 --> 01:08:09,882
for what they aren't using in that averaging. So for this, the storm this year seemed to

699
01:08:16,156 --> 01:08:16,156
have less busted pipes, at least in the developed community, because the way that

700
01:08:20,527 --> 01:08:20,527
the yeah, this year wasn't that bad, right? Last year it was a plumber's dream to at least be

701
01:08:26,933 --> 01:08:26,933
in pecan square, I know, and that they had water pouring out of the sides of their yards

702
01:08:32,939 --> 01:08:32,939
without paying attention to it. You know, there's a lot of like, I guess, unaware homeowners

703
01:08:36,944 --> 01:08:36,944
that don't know, like what you, you have the benefit of knowing how to go fix the pipe that's

704
01:08:42,649 --> 01:08:42,649
going to bust most of them just stand shocked when it busted and stare at it. All right,

705
01:08:48,188 --> 01:08:48,188
let's, let's just stick to statements of fact. Well, I would suggest that we address

706
01:08:54,462 --> 01:08:54,462
our building codes if we're building things that are freeze prone because it's easy to fix.

707
01:09:00,334 --> 01:09:00,334
you know, I put frost. Frost free faucets on all my outside faucets, and now I don't have

708
01:09:06,540 --> 01:09:06,540
to do anything or I haven't had to do anything. It hadn't been a problem. And my house is

709
01:09:11,445 --> 01:09:14,816
ancient. It has terrible insulation and its pier and beams, so it's got air coming underneath it and stuff. So it's worst case scenario. So I would think people would maybe

710
01:09:21,055 --> 01:09:21,055
when they stuff freezes, it gets fixed correctly, hopefully. So it doesn't freeze again. I

711
01:09:27,029 --> 01:09:27,029
don't know, it just it seems like a teeny tiny thing to be putting a bunch of town

712
01:09:31,766 --> 01:09:31,766
resources in your resources and, and their resources into. So thanks. Thank you. Joel. Anyone

713
01:09:38,707 --> 01:09:38,707
else this evening, miss hartman? Hi, my name is rina hardman. I live in the town of north lake.

714
01:09:49,818 --> 01:09:49,818
all of you know that I am a fierce supporter of private property rights. And because of

715
01:09:54,389 --> 01:09:54,389
my fight for private property rights, I've been called unhinged. On social media by

716
01:09:59,494 --> 01:09:59,494
alexandra holmes and mean by mayor pro tem merrill lorenz's husband joshua. All this on

717
01:10:07,002 --> 01:10:07,002
social media, I suppose if you lose between 27 and $37 million in one action by council, you

718
01:10:15,244 --> 01:10:15,244
might become a little unhinged. But perhaps you don't have that experience. So there's been an

719
01:10:21,817 --> 01:10:21,817
attempt also by you, mayor, mayor montini, to make a liar out of me. When I stated that I

720
01:10:28,924 --> 01:10:28,924
was called by a resident of the town who told me that you had called them and told them that

721
01:10:33,963 --> 01:10:33,963
you were using ag zoning, forced zoning of the town to eliminate the argyle isd. In

722
01:10:41,704 --> 01:10:41,704
that meeting. The december meeting, you shook your head. No. As if I were telling a lie.

723
01:10:46,977 --> 01:10:46,977
and I was not, because I'll prove it to you in just a second. So on january 28th, I

724
01:10:53,116 --> 01:10:53,116
requested a number of documents from the town, put in a public information request. It was

725
01:10:57,521 --> 01:10:57,521
supposed to take ten business days, which would have put that information to me by february

726
01:11:02,292 --> 01:11:02,292
11th, just in time for the february 12th council meeting. Were you all considered the for

727
01:11:07,464 --> 01:11:07,464
stagg zoning? Naturally, as I predicted online, you all took 17 business days, which put it

728
01:11:14,705 --> 01:11:14,705
beyond the february 12th council meeting. But let me give you a little chronology

729
01:11:20,311 --> 01:11:20,311
real quick, and then I'm going to show you one of your very own documents. October 13th,

730
01:11:26,250 --> 01:11:26,250
you passed the zoning. Nobody asked us about it. Nobody asked our opinion. It's not for

731
01:11:31,288 --> 01:11:31,288
legitimate ag people. But you made it out to be that way. It's it's a misnomer. October

732
01:11:35,659 --> 01:11:35,659
30th, 2025 argyle isd purchases 128 acres on the west side of the ridge and announces, quote,

733
01:11:41,165 --> 01:11:41,165
future site of secondary campus. November 5th. Social media erupts and some are mad,

734
01:11:45,670 --> 01:11:45,670
especially those in brian's place who now live adjacent, who might now live adjacent to

735
01:11:50,341 --> 01:11:54,312
this newly announced future. School council members that are directly affected are brian montini, mayor I mean council member ganz and mayor pro tem lorenz in the ridge. In fact,

736
01:12:03,354 --> 01:12:03,354
montana's house will face directly at what would be the back of it november 6th. Mayor

737
01:12:09,094 --> 01:12:12,731
montini posts in response to tammy lynn douglas's post regarding the future school quote, I have another, stronger option to fight this that will be on future agenda. And again,

738
01:12:18,135 --> 01:12:18,135
in another group, mayor montini addresses me saying that he vehemently disagrees with my

739
01:12:22,807 --> 01:12:22,807
narrative on the matter. Well, my narrative on the matter came by way of a phone call from

740
01:12:26,978 --> 01:12:30,882
another resident telling me that he had called them and allegedly told them that the reason was for the force. Zoning was to eliminate the argyle sd. When I stated this

741
01:12:36,421 --> 01:12:36,421
in the december 11th council meeting, you shook your head. No. Okay, so y'all can look at

742
01:12:40,726 --> 01:12:40,726
those videos. Okay, so in some of the responses to my public information request, I just

743
01:12:46,999 --> 01:12:46,999
want to share with you just one email, one email from council member gans. He says, nathan,

744
01:12:54,440 --> 01:12:54,440
can you give me some background on this mailing? And the subject line is notice of

745
01:12:58,443 --> 01:12:58,443
public hearing for the zoning. Can you give me some background on this mailing? First, does it

746
01:13:02,514 --> 01:13:02,514
affect the rural residential five acre lots with an ag exemption? From what I read, it

747
01:13:06,518 --> 01:13:09,889
only affects rural residential lots that are larger than 20 acres. Second, does it primarily have to do with the parcel of land that is to the west of the ridge subdivision?

748
01:13:14,961 --> 01:13:14,961
I believe we set that up as a cro in the days when the ridge was still known as heritage

749
01:13:19,832 --> 01:13:23,236
fields. Please requested the zoning change real quickly. Let me just reveal this to everybody if you don't mind. We had 30 minutes for our presentation of the 15 for the

750
01:13:28,374 --> 01:13:28,374
the hospital. At least you could give some extra time to a town resident. This says,

751
01:13:33,413 --> 01:13:33,413
here's the response. And it wasn't a mistake because it was sent to drew first from nathan.

752
01:13:38,384 --> 01:13:38,384
drew okayed it and then drew, and then nathan sent it back to council member ganz. He says,

753
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:44,190
hello, council member ganz, this notice is regarding the rezoning of undeveloped rural

754
01:13:49,163 --> 01:13:49,163
residential property larger than 20 acres to ag. We discussed it several times with

755
01:13:53,834 --> 01:13:53,834
council. The last action was a couple of years ago creating the zoning district. The next

756
01:13:57,837 --> 01:13:57,837
step is to actually zone properties. It does not affect any five acre lot such as yours.

757
01:14:04,645 --> 01:14:04,645
they will remain zoned rural. Residential only affects properties larger than 20 acres

758
01:14:08,983 --> 01:14:08,983
as it. That's the minimum lot size for zoning district. This rezoning is town initiated at

759
01:14:14,788 --> 01:14:14,788
the request of the mayor and although it's been planned, the current timing is related to

760
01:14:20,494 --> 01:14:20,494
the land west of the ridge. We will discuss more tonight in executive session. So it

761
01:14:26,233 --> 01:14:26,233
actually is related to that land. Thank you for reading mr. Redmond's opinion. I appreciate

762
01:14:31,472 --> 01:14:31,472
that his opinion that was okayed by your town manager to be sent to you. Your time is up,

763
01:14:36,444 --> 01:14:36,444
ma'am. Thank you so much. Sit down. Anybody else for public comment tonight? Seeing none,

764
01:14:51,493 --> 01:14:51,493
we'll move to item four consent items. I have a motion to approve as presented and a

765
01:15:00,935 --> 01:15:00,935
second.

766
01:15:26,996 --> 01:15:26,996
motion carries unanimous. All right. Next we must. Consider. No, that's the

767
01:15:36,839 --> 01:15:36,839
consent agenda. All right. Next we will go into we will pause the town council meeting and go

768
01:15:41,911 --> 01:15:41,911
into tax increment reinvestment zone number one, board meeting. And with that we have public

769
01:15:49,417 --> 01:15:49,417
input for the tours. Do we have anybody for public input for the tours meeting. Yes please.

770
01:16:01,364 --> 01:16:01,364
regarding a tourist tax increment reinvestment zone, y'all are basically giving away

771
01:16:05,735 --> 01:16:09,238
the town. Whenever you give away these reinvestment zones to these developers, you're giving back money that you don't give to normal citizens. You don't give them to any

772
01:16:14,310 --> 01:16:14,310
landowners that want to excuse me, improve their properties. You don't give them to anybody

773
01:16:18,481 --> 01:16:18,481
else but developers. So I would say no to a tours. Thanks for your time. Thank you. Consider

774
01:16:30,326 --> 01:16:30,326
the adoption of amendment to project and financing plan for tours. Number one, recommending

775
01:16:35,199 --> 01:16:35,199
adoption of ordinance by town council approved the same. Nathan. Thank you. Mayor. This

776
01:16:42,406 --> 01:16:42,406
is existing tours actually first tours in the town that covers the portion of canyon

777
01:16:48,411 --> 01:16:48,411
falls in the town of north lake, created back in 2015, its primary purpose was for

778
01:16:55,319 --> 01:16:55,319
construction, maintenance and operation of trail system and park and recreational

779
01:17:01,391 --> 01:17:01,391
facilities in the tours, as well as some street and road improvement projects. The

780
01:17:08,933 --> 01:17:08,933
original project and financing plan outlined these. That has been amended a couple of times

781
01:17:15,006 --> 01:17:15,006
back in 2020 that removed the street and road improvements, and last year there was an

782
01:17:25,883 --> 01:17:25,883
amendment that included a retaining wall repair project. So this is another amendment

783
01:17:33,491 --> 01:17:33,491
before you tonight. And this this tours does reimburse the developer for adding additional

784
01:17:43,134 --> 01:17:43,134
improvements over what was typically required. Developer is reimbursed for certain

785
01:17:50,709 --> 01:17:50,709
improvements outlined in the tours plan, primarily that trail system and park and

786
01:17:55,681 --> 01:17:55,681
recreational facilities. So far, about 860,000 has been reimbursed to date. Another 3.6

787
01:18:05,257 --> 01:18:05,257
million is remaining due, according to the current agreement with the developer.

788
01:18:13,098 --> 01:18:13,098
the proposals for a final lump sum payment of $2 million, which will be memorialized in

789
01:18:22,074 --> 01:18:22,074
amended agreement, which is the next action. So the purpose of this amendment, this is

790
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:27,880
amending that project and financing plan to update and revise, to revise estimated

791
01:18:33,586 --> 01:18:33,586
costs and to show that this reimbursement is to pay that obligation in full. So hope you

792
01:18:40,826 --> 01:18:40,826
listen carefully on this one, because you're going to have to go through this again. I don't

793
01:18:45,031 --> 01:18:45,031
want to have to go back through the presentation. So you have to adopt this as a tourist

794
01:18:50,502 --> 01:18:50,502
board first, and then town council will have to act on it separately following a public

795
01:18:56,610 --> 01:18:56,610
hearing when you're acting on it. Town council. All right. Thank you. With that, do I have

796
01:19:04,985 --> 01:19:04,985
a motion? May I ask a question? Yes, sir. For $2 million, $3.5 million debt. 3.6.6. I make a

797
01:19:21,935 --> 01:19:21,935
motion to approve. I'll second. Motion from doctor sessions and second from mayor pro tem

798
01:19:29,009 --> 01:19:29,009
lawrence. Motion carries unanimous. And then consider approval of alteration of the

799
01:19:47,795 --> 01:19:47,795
board chairman to execute an amendment to project funding agreement. Now, this is just

800
01:19:55,702 --> 01:19:55,702
amending the the agreement to provide for that lump sum payment and that it constitutes

801
01:20:02,142 --> 01:20:02,142
full and final reimbursement for all the qualified construction costs to be

802
01:20:06,847 --> 01:20:06,847
reimbursed to the developer. And again, you'll have to act on it as a tourist and again as

803
01:20:11,386 --> 01:20:11,386
town council. Very good questions or motions. Make a motion to approve motion from

804
01:20:21,195 --> 01:20:21,195
doctor sessions. Second for miss holmes.

805
01:20:42,784 --> 01:20:42,784
motion carries unanimous with no further items to consider. The number one

806
01:20:47,155 --> 01:20:47,155
board will adjourn the meeting and regular town council meeting will be reconvened.

807
01:20:53,562 --> 01:20:53,562
alright, guess what we're doing. Consider approval resolution to. Oh, no, this is a little

808
01:21:00,168 --> 01:21:00,168
different. Look, see, look, you put them out of order. You're just tricking me now, alright?

809
01:21:04,774 --> 01:21:08,477
this is to reconstitute the capital improvement advisory committee, appointing members to serve on capital improvement advisory committee. We do this every couple of years. Every 3

810
01:21:16,385 --> 01:21:16,385
or 4 years. Yeah. When we have to update our water, wastewater and roadway impact fees, which

811
01:21:21,323 --> 01:21:21,323
we're in the just beginning the process recently engaged half associates to work with us on

812
01:21:27,129 --> 01:21:27,129
that. That process requires capital improvements advisory committee that will review land

813
01:21:36,572 --> 01:21:36,572
use assumptions, capital improvements plan and the proposed impact fees. This c I

814
01:21:43,646 --> 01:21:43,646
c was last utilized when we updated our water and wastewater impact fees, which

815
01:21:48,351 --> 01:21:48,351
was adopted early 23. The cic requirements have been modified since then, with senate bill

816
01:21:59,562 --> 01:21:59,562
1883, it provides at least 50% of the. Members must represent real estate development and

817
01:22:06,369 --> 01:22:06,369
building industries. Also, the planning and zoning commission can no longer serve as a c I a

818
01:22:13,243 --> 01:22:13,243
c. That is how we operated previously, and a representative from the town's

819
01:22:22,619 --> 01:22:22,619
etj is required for any impact fees that apply in the etj. Which water and sewer impact

820
01:22:28,325 --> 01:22:28,325
fees can. So the proposed committee structure is to establish a new five member c I

821
01:22:35,899 --> 01:22:35,899
c and it would need to ensure compliance with the state law by including three members from

822
01:22:44,875 --> 01:22:44,875
the development and building industry to exceed that 50% requirement, and it would need

823
01:22:50,915 --> 01:22:50,915
to include one member representing the etj. So the proposed appointees to consider

824
01:23:00,324 --> 01:23:00,324
are listed here, which are all or most of these are members of other boards or commissions,

825
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:09,000
and meet the requirements of. There's three of these that are in the development or building

826
01:23:15,207 --> 01:23:15,207
industry, and also one representative of the etj. I. There you go. A second motion

827
01:23:26,751 --> 01:23:26,751
for mr. Gans and a second for miss holmes. Can't figure out what button push.

828
01:23:50,309 --> 01:23:50,309
motion carries. Unanimous. All right. Last council meeting we had

829
01:23:55,013 --> 01:23:55,013
talked about speed limits and prairie view had applied formally and informally to have

830
01:24:01,287 --> 01:24:01,287
the speed limits adjusted within prairie view. And we have that on the agenda tonight.

831
01:24:06,225 --> 01:24:06,225
welcome, captain thornton. Good afternoon, council and mayor. All right. So background on

832
01:24:13,132 --> 01:24:16,769
this real quick. This police administration presented the council regulations regarding reducing the speed limits back in february. Prairie view farms requested reducing the speed

833
01:24:21,007 --> 01:24:21,007
limits in their neighborhood to 25mph. Specifically, that included prairie view drive,

834
01:24:26,779 --> 01:24:26,779
flanagan farm drive, and prairie mount court. We were consulted with legal to draft

835
01:24:31,851 --> 01:24:31,851
an ordinance to reduce the speed limits in certain areas, per their request, to the 25

836
01:24:36,923 --> 01:24:36,923
mile per hour zone, and the changes require special signage and annual reporting. And

837
01:24:44,731 --> 01:24:44,731
that's it. Any questions? Questions? Very good. Do I have motions? Since it's an

838
01:24:52,705 --> 01:24:52,705
ordinance change, we we have to have a public hearing. Oh. Is that. No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

839
01:25:02,749 --> 01:25:02,749
you're right. I was going to say don't. No no no. We. Yeah. My bad. I'll make a motion to

840
01:25:11,024 --> 01:25:11,024
approve. Second motion to approve for mr. Fowler and second for mr. Pizzuto. Ready

841
01:25:19,032 --> 01:25:19,032
to see on the agenda. Sorry I stole your thunder. Apologize. I'll remember that. This is

842
01:25:30,878 --> 01:25:30,878
pecan square. Formally, informally, asking for the same consideration. You know the

843
01:25:36,584 --> 01:25:36,584
rules. All right. Motion carries 6 to 1. And as we stated before, communities are

844
01:25:44,291 --> 01:25:44,291
welcome to bring this forward. I know that there's a poll running up in the ridge, and

845
01:25:48,863 --> 01:25:48,863
I'm expecting some from starbucks star dust in the next several months as well. So

846
01:25:55,036 --> 01:25:55,036
that's maybe coming our way. So very good. Next. Yeah. This is the repeat of your actions. Now

847
01:26:08,550 --> 01:26:08,550
we'll get to actions. Consider approval of the ordinance on north lake approving amended

848
01:26:13,555 --> 01:26:13,555
project and financing plan for tours. Number one we on the public hearing first on this

849
01:26:18,326 --> 01:26:18,326
one. It is this is the one, sorry. 6:56 p.m. I will call the public hearing to order or

850
01:26:26,234 --> 01:26:26,234
open the public hearing. Do I have anybody to speak? Seeing? Yes. Joel mcgregor, 8921. East

851
01:26:37,446 --> 01:26:37,446
sam lane just created a long time ago, but I was here and I spoke against it. And one of

852
01:26:43,953 --> 01:26:43,953
the excuses for passing it, and I realize this has nothing to do with what we're doing now,

853
01:26:48,557 --> 01:26:48,557
but this has to do with the tours. One of the reasons it was passed is because we were

854
01:26:53,195 --> 01:26:53,195
guaranteed that it wasn't going to cost, because all the infrastructure was new, the

855
01:26:58,267 --> 01:26:58,267
roads and everything, that it wouldn't cost the city anything during the time of the or very

856
01:27:02,871 --> 01:27:02,871
little compared to the rest of the town during the time the tours. And if you guys will

857
01:27:07,577 --> 01:27:07,577
remember, that turned out to not be the case at all. You know, we had to replace a bunch

858
01:27:13,149 --> 01:27:13,149
of roads in there because we had some major road failures. And now, you know, we've had a

859
01:27:19,790 --> 01:27:19,790
bunch of other failures around the bridges and things like that. So just please remember

860
01:27:24,860 --> 01:27:24,860
that before we start giving away money in another tours, that they don't always turn out

861
01:27:29,499 --> 01:27:29,499
the way that you predicted to. Thank you. Thank you. Joel. Anyone else? 650. Who would

862
01:27:42,579 --> 01:27:42,579
have those numbers? Let me close the public hearing first. And. We close public hearing.

863
01:27:49,319 --> 01:27:49,319
it's it's 657 and then you have questions for staff. Go ahead. Yeah. Do we have any numbers

864
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:56,160
about extra money that we talked the there were some road failures. The roads were not

865
01:28:05,202 --> 01:28:05,202
built by the tours. They were built by the developer. We attempted to call the bond. The

866
01:28:11,641 --> 01:28:11,641
bond company refused that, but we did have a capital project to repair some roads. There was

867
01:28:16,380 --> 01:28:16,380
a some infill by a sewer pipe that caused it to fail. I forgot the name of those. No,

868
01:28:25,757 --> 01:28:25,757
it wasn't ters money. The. The trail was built by the developer to be repaid by the

869
01:28:34,632 --> 01:28:34,632
developer or repaid. From the tours to the developer, and you saw the item. This will pay

870
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:41,840
them off sooner. There was a failure of that. Part of the tours plan includes having the

871
01:28:49,014 --> 01:28:49,014
tours build build back that. So for the audience tours is takes the a zone and any increment.

872
01:29:03,495 --> 01:29:03,495
so any new value that's gained by that development, those taxes can be invested back in

873
01:29:10,402 --> 01:29:10,402
that zone, but only for public purpose. And so the public purpose for this zone was

874
01:29:16,108 --> 01:29:16,108
primarily the trail. There was also a splash pad and a dog dogh open to the public. But that's

875
01:29:22,534 --> 01:29:22,534
what matters does it gets the developer to build the what the town would normally build

876
01:29:28,308 --> 01:29:28,308
public infrastructure and gives them that reimbursement back over time. So instead of the

877
01:29:34,448 --> 01:29:34,448
town financing it, the developer finds it, finances it, and gets part of that tax base.

878
01:29:40,953 --> 01:29:40,953
that tax base is increased because of their development. So it's like, it's like

879
01:29:48,796 --> 01:29:48,796
isolating an area and having it pay for itself. But for public infrastructure. I don't know if

880
01:29:58,738 --> 01:29:58,738
it's offline. Can I ask you a question or tell me when you can? About timing for which

881
01:30:06,447 --> 01:30:06,447
item for a a, which is the if we have to wait until after. Yeah, let's let's get through

882
01:30:13,554 --> 01:30:13,554
items first. All right. Does that satisfy your question? All right. Very good. I have a

883
01:30:20,527 --> 01:30:20,527
motion. Motion to motion seconded. Motion approved for miss holmes and a second from

884
01:30:32,406 --> 01:30:32,406
doctor sessions.

885
01:31:01,036 --> 01:31:01,036
what did you. Yeah, I pressed it. Second tab to see if it shows. There it is.

886
01:31:22,057 --> 01:31:22,057
there's an error tab. All right. There we go. Motion carries seven zero. Unanimous. All

887
01:31:30,466 --> 01:31:30,466
right. Next item is for the reimbursement which we already covered in the tour. So I have

888
01:31:35,338 --> 01:31:35,338
questions or motion. Motion approved for a second. Second from mayor pro tem lorenz.

889
01:31:53,722 --> 01:31:53,722
motion carries unanimous. All right. This is a approval ordinance town north lake for a

890
01:32:02,398 --> 01:32:02,398
change from industrial innovation to suburban neighborhood. Nathan. All right.

891
01:32:12,442 --> 01:32:12,442
this is the first item of three in a row here. They're all related to the same project. So

892
01:32:18,182 --> 01:32:18,182
this first item is a comprehensive plan amendment. And the next item will be

893
01:32:25,055 --> 01:32:25,055
annexation. This property is 281 acres. 82 of it is currently in the town limits.

894
01:32:34,131 --> 01:32:34,131
the remainder 199 acres is in her etj. It's located east of 156 and south of down road,

895
01:32:43,974 --> 01:32:43,974
which is also first street in justin. The. The owners of the property are heirs of a

896
01:32:51,648 --> 01:32:51,648
founding family in north lake. The downs and the applicant developer is a four star real

897
01:32:59,989 --> 01:32:59,989
estate group. So they. They have the property under contract. Currently. This is a

898
01:33:06,864 --> 01:33:06,864
view of the property on the map. You can see that blue is the portion that's in the town

899
01:33:11,569 --> 01:33:11,569
limits. You'll see the proximity of this to justin and 156, which will serve as the

900
01:33:19,077 --> 01:33:19,077
primary access to it. So this property is currently the portion that's in the town

901
01:33:28,687 --> 01:33:28,687
limits zoned agriculture. That happened on february 12th with the rezoning from rural

902
01:33:34,992 --> 01:33:34,992
residential to to ag. The portions outside of the town and the etj, there's no zoning.

903
01:33:42,133 --> 01:33:42,133
but upon annexation, which is on this same agenda, it would default to the ag zoning. And

904
01:33:50,809 --> 01:33:50,809
following the annexation, there's a zoning change item on here to change the zoning to

905
01:33:55,414 --> 01:33:55,414
mixed use plan development and to make that happen and to be in compliance with the

906
01:34:02,154 --> 01:34:02,154
comprehensive plan is why this comprehensive plan amendment is before you. The proposed zoning

907
01:34:07,492 --> 01:34:07,492
that you'll see later on the agenda is mixed use plan development. It includes a base

908
01:34:14,499 --> 01:34:14,499
zoning of rural estate and neighborhood commercial and provides for a mixture of uses,

909
01:34:21,407 --> 01:34:21,407
including primarily single family residential with a range of lot sizes at a maximum

910
01:34:26,412 --> 01:34:26,412
density of three units per gross acre. It also allows for a limited amount of

911
01:34:31,751 --> 01:34:31,751
neighborhood, commercial and preservation of large open spaces, primarily within the

912
01:34:39,392 --> 01:34:39,392
floodplain. So the current future land use designation in the comprehensive plan calls

913
01:34:45,664 --> 01:34:45,664
for this as the industrial innovation place type kind of building on the industrial just

914
01:34:54,107 --> 01:34:54,107
north of the the speedway further south of this property, the proposed future land use

915
01:35:01,315 --> 01:35:01,315
designation is suburban neighborhood place type, which which allows for master plan

916
01:35:09,989 --> 01:35:09,989
developments very similar to pecan square and the ridge canyon falls. They are all in

917
01:35:15,495 --> 01:35:15,495
this same place. Type in our comprehensive plan. So the. The purpose of this amendment is to

918
01:35:26,507 --> 01:35:26,507
is to allow for conforming zoning following the annexation as outlined in the development

919
01:35:33,714 --> 01:35:33,714
agreement. The development agreement was authorized by council on january 8th. Within

920
01:35:41,222 --> 01:35:41,222
that, it set these standards of land use and included a voluntary annexation of the

921
01:35:51,332 --> 01:35:51,332
property and development pursuant to proposed plan development zoning, which is

922
01:35:56,838 --> 01:35:56,838
included as an exhibit in that development agreement. The comprehensive plan is necessary

923
01:36:03,077 --> 01:36:03,077
to update the future land use designation. Since the proposed use and zoning is not

924
01:36:09,050 --> 01:36:09,050
industrial and it is more residential. So in effect, this is what this comprehensive plan

925
01:36:17,958 --> 01:36:17,958
amendment will be doing. So you see the gray portions of the property. That's that

926
01:36:23,030 --> 01:36:23,030
industrial innovation future land use designation. And it would change those areas to

927
01:36:29,137 --> 01:36:29,137
yellow for the suburban neighborhood. So since this is kind of setting the stage for a

928
01:36:37,112 --> 01:36:37,112
couple other items coming before you, I wanted to turn it over to. Representative for the

929
01:36:44,653 --> 01:36:44,653
developer for star to kind of explain their plan for the property, show you some of

930
01:36:49,991 --> 01:36:49,991
their, some of the work they've done, and then we'll both be available to answer any

931
01:36:55,430 --> 01:36:55,430
questions you have. Thank you sir. Got a another presentation for the night. So I will try to

932
01:37:03,739 --> 01:37:03,739
keep this quick. And a lot of what nathan had already covered is in this presentation. So

933
01:37:07,977 --> 01:37:07,977
let's just get through it. Who is four star. So four star is a national residential lot

934
01:37:13,082 --> 01:37:13,082
developer. So we are from the very beginning sourcing the land and title, entitling the

935
01:37:18,421 --> 01:37:18,421
land this process and developing the land. So our end user is a home builder. We

936
01:37:24,694 --> 01:37:24,694
primarily develop one in every 50 single family lots in the united states, and we sell to

937
01:37:30,032 --> 01:37:30,032
local, regional, national, really whoever wants to buy the lots, we're all ears. And the

938
01:37:35,872 --> 01:37:35,872
dfw metroplex alone, we have developed over 4200 lots in the past five years. Some notable

939
01:37:42,679 --> 01:37:42,679
communities are trails of elizabeth creek off of 114, eagle creek off of 380, and

940
01:37:47,283 --> 01:37:47,283
denton, madera and royse city and legato and cleburne. Our primary focus is entry level

941
01:37:53,824 --> 01:37:53,824
first time home buyers with the option of move up home buyers as well. We are currently in 24

942
01:38:00,597 --> 01:38:00,597
states and 59 different submarkets. So just to go into some of the projects that we

943
01:38:06,536 --> 01:38:06,536
have done, this is trails of elizabeth creek in fort worth. Just goes to show that the

944
01:38:11,844 --> 01:38:11,844
amenities that we like to provide are great. This is this is off of 114. The entire

945
01:38:18,282 --> 01:38:18,282
monument alone is is pretty incredible. It's got pool, lazy river string, lights over turf,

946
01:38:25,423 --> 01:38:25,423
playground, so on and so forth. Again, this is eagle creek in denton, kind of the same thing.

947
01:38:31,262 --> 01:38:31,262
amenity center pool, lots of open space, royse city and madera. So this is a smaller

948
01:38:37,667 --> 01:38:37,667
community. So this is 400 lots and it's got an amenity center with a pool. It's got entry

949
01:38:44,576 --> 01:38:44,576
monuments, the whole nine again, legato and cleburne kind of the same thing. Additional examples.

950
01:38:52,283 --> 01:38:52,283
this is another master plan community in new caney, just outside of san antonio. Over a

951
01:38:57,923 --> 01:38:57,923
thousand lots again, amenity center, lots of open space, huge pond with trails, so on

952
01:39:03,995 --> 01:39:03,995
and so forth. And I'm just going to skip this one because it's the same spiel,

953
01:39:08,399 --> 01:39:11,703
comprehensive plan amendment. So to nathan's point, we are here for three items tonight. So the first is comprehensive plan amendment request. The second would be for annexation.

954
01:39:16,441 --> 01:39:16,441
and the third would be to rezone the property. So the current comprehensive plan is

955
01:39:20,512 --> 01:39:20,512
industrial innovative which would allow data centers, showrooms r&d. And our proposed

956
01:39:25,951 --> 01:39:25,951
comp plan amendment would be to be suburban neighborhood, which would allow mixed use planned

957
01:39:29,988 --> 01:39:29,988
development, single family y suburban neighborhood. It's consistent with adjacent

958
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:34,560
properties north of down road and west of 156. It will allow the future land use to align

959
01:39:39,999 --> 01:39:39,999
with single family development, such as the ridge pecan square canyon falls, which are all

960
01:39:44,370 --> 01:39:44,370
very successful in northlake. And we kind of want to model this subdivision after those

961
01:39:48,607 --> 01:39:48,607
communities. Inherently, it will reduce the amount of roadway wear and tear and

962
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:53,479
stacking along. 156 if this property were to be industrial, innovative. Additionally,

963
01:40:00,286 --> 01:40:04,088
alternative and preferred development scenarios within the comp plan comp plan indicated that this could be lifestyle neighborhood which would use ten units per acre,

964
01:40:08,861 --> 01:40:08,861
allow townhomes and small lot single family. So suburban neighborhood was a good landing

965
01:40:13,265 --> 01:40:13,265
ground for for our community the rezoning request. So what are we proposing? It's 281

966
01:40:18,838 --> 01:40:18,838
acres of mixed use planned development, three units per acre, which is similar to pecan

967
01:40:23,343 --> 01:40:23,343
square, the ridge canyon falls. We've got a variety of lot sizes, so unlike those, we've

968
01:40:27,914 --> 01:40:27,914
got 30 foot detached lots instead of townhomes, we've got 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. So we've

969
01:40:34,053 --> 01:40:34,053
got everything. We have roughly 158 acres of open space and floodplain being preserved with

970
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:40,560
an intricate trail system within the open space. Additionally, we have a bridge

971
01:40:47,300 --> 01:40:47,300
spanning trail creek to connect future fm 1171 to 407. The trinity river authority

972
01:40:54,174 --> 01:40:58,111
regional sewer line will be running through this development, which inherently creates more sewer capacity for the town of northlake. And on top of that, we are bringing

973
01:41:04,150 --> 01:41:07,854
two miles of offsite water, which could potentially unlock development for the surrounding parcels within north lake. So flew through that. Obviously, I'm more than happy to answer

974
01:41:12,526 --> 01:41:12,526
any questions. This is a project that you guys have seen before. Authorize the

975
01:41:17,164 --> 01:41:17,164
development agreement. So this is just checking the next boxes. What is the just to what's the

976
01:41:23,671 --> 01:41:23,671
proposed rooftops for lot count? Yeah. So the last draft that we had seen was roughly 600. So it

977
01:41:32,013 --> 01:41:32,013
just all depends on what the incoming and exiting from 156. Yes. This will be off one 156

978
01:41:41,022 --> 01:41:41,022
to 114 typically. Will be the average starting home price. That's a great question. I

979
01:41:47,863 --> 01:41:47,863
think right now we've got modeled modeled it roughly 375. Now that's just an average.

980
01:41:55,003 --> 01:41:55,003
that's for the entire project. So obviously the 60 foot lots will be more expensive in the

981
01:41:59,674 --> 01:41:59,674
30s, will be cheaper. So I couldn't give you an exact number until we get a contract.

982
01:42:04,913 --> 01:42:04,913
these lots with the builder less expensive. Just so I understand, because you've

983
01:42:09,318 --> 01:42:09,318
looked into pecan square, the ridge, it sounds like it sounds like this is starting, correct?

984
01:42:14,389 --> 01:42:14,389
yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Okay. Remind me. I don't remember if it's in the development

985
01:42:20,095 --> 01:42:20,095
agreement or not. Is there going to be an hoa required? I don't know if it's required.

986
01:42:24,733 --> 01:42:24,733
there will be one. Okay. Because we got in some issues with another development where

987
01:42:31,339 --> 01:42:31,339
hoa was started, but not necessarily required. Okay. So they could dissolve that if

988
01:42:36,312 --> 01:42:36,312
they chose. Okay. Yeah. More than happy to to connect on that one. I we're, we're pro

989
01:42:43,552 --> 01:42:43,552
hoa. Okay. What work does your company do you know, with you connecting 407 1171 with, for

990
01:42:53,629 --> 01:42:53,629
example, tex dot to help those projects? So what work are you guys doing or would you be

991
01:42:59,202 --> 01:42:59,202
doing to help move those along? You know, it's funny, this question came up in planning

992
01:43:03,206 --> 01:43:03,206
and zoning a few weeks ago. I wish we had pool with txdot. Unfortunately, txdot is out of

993
01:43:09,179 --> 01:43:09,179
our control. So ideally if they see ntp coming in and if they see lots coming in the ground,

994
01:43:14,884 --> 01:43:14,884
then that might expedite. 1171 but unfortunately, we have no say with txdot. And I know that

995
01:43:24,594 --> 01:43:24,594
whenever projects get to this point where we're talking about it right here, we've talked

996
01:43:28,932 --> 01:43:28,932
about it in executive session a number of times, which is how we kind of get to this. I know

997
01:43:33,937 --> 01:43:33,937
that when I was a casual viewer of our council meetings, I didn't understand how this part

998
01:43:38,041 --> 01:43:38,041
of the process worked. So this isn't our first time hearing about the land. I just felt

999
01:43:46,217 --> 01:43:46,217
like that is an educational piece to say. Is that good with questions? All right. Thank you.

1000
01:43:55,159 --> 01:43:55,159
thank you. All right. Next we will have a public hearing on this. It is 7:14 p.m. I'll open

1001
01:44:02,333 --> 01:44:02,333
the public hearing. My name is rena hartman. Are there any images that you can show of the

1002
01:44:13,244 --> 01:44:13,244
design of the new proposal? If you could show to the public factual question, were there

1003
01:44:23,087 --> 01:44:23,087
any in the slide deck? There'll be some concept plans. Okay. And in the next slide I'm going

1004
01:44:30,295 --> 01:44:30,295
to be some drawings. Excuse me, mayor, would you say in the next item there will be some

1005
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:35,800
drawings which you're going to agree to this change without seeing any of the concept plans

1006
01:44:40,939 --> 01:44:40,939
or agreements already been approved. Understand that you're looking for an amendment.

1007
01:44:47,745 --> 01:44:47,745
okay. Just consider the density of this and that land is more valuable as commercial to the

1008
01:44:56,856 --> 01:44:56,856
town tax base than residential. Thanks for your time. Joel mcgregor, 8921 east family lane.

1009
01:45:07,633 --> 01:45:07,633
you know, one of the biggest gripes people have is traffic. And here we're talking about

1010
01:45:14,807 --> 01:45:14,807
changing from an industrial area to residential one 600 houses. And it's been mentioned

1011
01:45:23,549 --> 01:45:23,549
many times during council meetings that houses are a net negative to our town. You know,

1012
01:45:29,522 --> 01:45:29,522
the taxes brought in don't cover the expenses. Whereas commercial buildings do. They

1013
01:45:37,062 --> 01:45:37,062
pay for more. So, you know, so you've already approved things. I don't know how far along

1014
01:45:42,969 --> 01:45:42,969
that's gone, but obviously we have to approve more things. To me, I would think it would be

1015
01:45:48,975 --> 01:45:48,975
prudent to make sure that the infrastructure, I.e. The roads especially could handle 600

1016
01:45:55,415 --> 01:45:55,415
more houses before this starts. Thanks. Anyone else? Okay, 7:16 p.m. We'll close the public

1017
01:46:10,564 --> 01:46:10,564
hearing and I will take motions. How about some discussion? Sure. Do we want 600 more houses

1018
01:46:20,608 --> 01:46:20,608
before that connector road is built? Over to 1171? Right now it exits onto 156. That's the

1019
01:46:30,351 --> 01:46:30,351
only access that they have right now. That's correct. Nathan. Right. That's correct.

1020
01:46:37,257 --> 01:46:37,257
that's the only connection that they have to the outside world. It's 156. They'll have an

1021
01:46:44,065 --> 01:46:44,065
emergency access connection to the justin cemetery road on the south. But initially primary

1022
01:46:50,871 --> 01:46:50,871
access will be through first street and 156. Then the thing that's really killed north lake

1023
01:46:58,479 --> 01:46:58,479
lately is the tex-dot not widening and improving their roads. Fortunately, in this

1024
01:47:03,851 --> 01:47:03,851
area, 156 has been widened. They will be building this collector that's on our

1025
01:47:09,590 --> 01:47:09,590
thoroughfare plan, and it will ultimately be able to be extended down to 1171 when

1026
01:47:17,933 --> 01:47:17,933
that's done. So that will add even even more options and relief. Thank you nathan. Yeah,

1027
01:47:26,641 --> 01:47:26,641
I think if it was, I think if it was another first of all, whenever we did our. Yeah, I

1028
01:47:33,782 --> 01:47:33,782
think so. Whenever we did the survey for the town, one of the things that they did identify,

1029
01:47:40,555 --> 01:47:40,555
not the. The resident survey, but where we did, where people came in and looked at the

1030
01:47:47,528 --> 01:47:47,528
vision boards and, and put all those questions. One of the things that we didn't have was

1031
01:47:53,069 --> 01:47:53,069
like missing the missing middle and homes for people to work at that, that affordable homes for

1032
01:48:01,777 --> 01:48:05,715
the people that are going to work at the things like mp materials and the stuff that's coming into our industrial zone, we've worked really hard to stymie additional residential

1033
01:48:11,787 --> 01:48:11,787
development, kind of up here in the more traditional residential zone. But that

1034
01:48:16,192 --> 01:48:16,192
where we're looking at this for, you know, basically down by where it transitions into

1035
01:48:22,931 --> 01:48:22,931
justin is already set with that. So. It doesn't present the same problems to me as it does when

1036
01:48:32,375 --> 01:48:32,375
it's coming into 407 or going on to, you know, these already really compact roads. We're not

1037
01:48:38,448 --> 01:48:38,448
adding traffic there at all. If anything, we're giving them somewhere else to look to buy a

1038
01:48:42,519 --> 01:48:42,519
house in our town. And we've taken a pretty large pause on approving new development for

1039
01:48:52,495 --> 01:48:52,495
residential eight years, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. And that this isn't going to be

1040
01:48:58,268 --> 01:48:58,268
something that they can build tomorrow and that they're also building us a road I don't. You

1041
01:49:05,075 --> 01:49:05,075
know, if they had a commercial buyer for the land, the property was for sale for a

1042
01:49:09,813 --> 01:49:09,813
pretty good while. And if they had a commercial buyer, we'd be talking to them. But that's not

1043
01:49:14,852 --> 01:49:14,852
that's not where we at. All. Right. Any further discussion or motions? I'll go ahead and

1044
01:49:25,162 --> 01:49:25,162
motions. Motion to approve for miss holmes. Second. Second for mr. Pizzuto. And we're going to

1045
01:49:35,172 --> 01:49:35,172
have. Motion passes 4 to 3. All right. Next item is ordinance on north lake providing for

1046
01:50:04,836 --> 01:50:04,836
annexation. Approximately 199 acres of land generally located east of 156. Same property and

1047
01:50:11,409 --> 01:50:11,409
changing the zoning type or no annexing. This is just the the annexation of the 199 acres.

1048
01:50:19,951 --> 01:50:19,951
and I think another importance of the development agreement and providing for annexation is

1049
01:50:28,192 --> 01:50:28,192
because of new state law. We have very little control over etj property owners can

1050
01:50:36,468 --> 01:50:36,468
actually release from the etj. So this is a way to to work with the the property owner and

1051
01:50:43,643 --> 01:50:43,643
potential developer and get it into the town. And that's why you have this annexation

1052
01:50:48,747 --> 01:50:48,747
request before you. So you can see the areas that are in the etj will be annexed. If this

1053
01:50:57,323 --> 01:50:57,323
annexation is approved. Before acting on it, you'll need to hold a public hearing. Thank

1054
01:51:03,129 --> 01:51:03,129
you. One of the council's key strategies is the annexation where possible, so we don't

1055
01:51:08,534 --> 01:51:08,534
lose it to the county. So we will open the public hearing for this at 7:21 p.m. For

1056
01:51:19,612 --> 01:51:19,612
annexation. Any takers? Joel mcgregor, 8921 east lane. This area, if it's only accessible

1057
01:51:32,225 --> 01:51:32,225
through one from 156, how in the world are the police going to service this area? They're

1058
01:51:38,464 --> 01:51:38,464
going to have to drive way the heck out of there, out of our jurisdiction, even to get to it.

1059
01:51:44,504 --> 01:51:44,504
but they're going to expect police service there. It's going to be very expensive.

1060
01:51:55,349 --> 01:51:55,349
thank you. Joel. Anyone else for public hearing? Seeing none is 7:22 p.m. I will close the

1061
01:52:02,690 --> 01:52:02,690
public hearing. I will make a motion to approve the annexation a second I'll second.

1062
01:52:10,831 --> 01:52:10,831
which second motion by myself and a second for mr. Motion carries unanimous. And finally

1063
01:52:33,187 --> 01:52:37,091
changing the base zoning. Now that's been annexed and is now agricultural. We're changing the agricultural to mpd after a public hearing or nathan wants to talk about it. Well, I don't

1064
01:52:44,999 --> 01:52:44,999
have to if you don't want it. I know, I know, you guys have seen this before, but just a

1065
01:52:52,574 --> 01:52:52,574
reminder, asking about the number of lots, the maximum number that the zoning allows

1066
01:52:56,677 --> 01:52:56,677
is 845. So far their concepts have been well below that because there's a really a

1067
01:53:02,651 --> 01:53:02,651
limited area that they can build upon. And this is the concept plan that areas where

1068
01:53:11,159 --> 01:53:11,159
they're proposing for, for single family on the left, on the right side is their open

1069
01:53:17,366 --> 01:53:17,366
space plan and the trails they plan to do a big, a big cost of this development will be that

1070
01:53:26,008 --> 01:53:26,008
collector, and it will require a bridge over trail creek. There. Initial conversations

1071
01:53:34,650 --> 01:53:34,650
were proposing potentially a tours to help fund this, but we're able to work together to

1072
01:53:40,389 --> 01:53:40,389
not have that tours. So that's another benefit of of this zoning. And I believe they need

1073
01:53:49,031 --> 01:53:49,031
this number of units to be able to, to make it all work. And then finally, here's a look at

1074
01:53:57,039 --> 01:53:57,039
the collector and the planned landscaping along it. And also the screening plan. They plan

1075
01:54:03,813 --> 01:54:03,813
wrought iron and open style fencing, backing up to the open spaces, a masonry screening

1076
01:54:09,218 --> 01:54:09,218
wall around what is currently the justin wastewater treatment plant. But that will be going

1077
01:54:14,992 --> 01:54:14,992
away once the tras den creek interceptor line is built through here and will also

1078
01:54:21,164 --> 01:54:21,164
serve. Justin, can you back up one slide question for you? Sure. The 80 foot minor

1079
01:54:26,536 --> 01:54:26,536
arterial by others is the land getting dedicated for that so that we don't have to come back

1080
01:54:33,076 --> 01:54:33,076
and negotiate. Correct. Right of way. The land within their property will be dedicated.

1081
01:54:38,515 --> 01:54:38,515
okay. Sure. I'll make sure we don't have to chase that down later. And the open space is at

1082
01:54:43,554 --> 01:54:43,554
the floodplain. Yes, most of that is floodplain. Go ahead and continue on. Thank you.

1083
01:54:53,898 --> 01:54:53,898
answer my question. So now that you've approved the comprehensive plan amendment,

1084
01:54:58,969 --> 01:54:58,969
this conforms to the comprehensive plan, conforms to the entitlements approved in

1085
01:55:04,375 --> 01:55:04,375
the development agreement. So this plan development zoning is acceptable for your

1086
01:55:10,481 --> 01:55:10,481
consideration. And p and z considered this as our meeting on february 24th. They held a

1087
01:55:18,389 --> 01:55:22,026
public hearing with no speakers for or against, and they recommended approval of the zoning change unanimously. And you'll need to hold a public hearing again for this item

1088
01:55:28,099 --> 01:55:28,099
before you can act on it. Questions or can I go to public hearing? All right. It is 7:25

1089
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:36,040
p.m. We'll open the public hearing. You're going to get your steps in today. That's

1090
01:55:42,814 --> 01:55:42,814
right. Joel mcgregor 8921 east sam lee lane will it barely pass for 4 to 3? Only one

1091
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:49,320
person has to change their mind here. This is your last chance. And you know, to me, I think

1092
01:55:55,794 --> 01:55:59,698
people should be able to do whatever they want with their property. So I don't have a problem with this if it doesn't cost the rest of us money. And you know, to me, I can see this

1093
01:56:07,773 --> 01:56:07,773
requiring us to hire another police officer and buy another patrol car, minimum of one,

1094
01:56:14,912 --> 01:56:14,912
maybe two, because of the really bad access here. Now, to me, to approve this, they ought

1095
01:56:22,955 --> 01:56:22,955
to there ought to be something in the agreement that they make up somehow for the extra over

1096
01:56:29,795 --> 01:56:29,795
and above expense, that it's going to cost the town. You know, I realize the traffic is

1097
01:56:36,302 --> 01:56:36,302
a different thing because it's on 156, but I haven't been on 156. But I can't imagine that

1098
01:56:42,374 --> 01:56:42,374
it's a joy, you know, with traffic already. So I know that doesn't affect most of our

1099
01:56:47,713 --> 01:56:47,713
people, but, you know, just, just all the extra expense because of where this is, it

1100
01:56:53,819 --> 01:56:53,819
doesn't fit the plan developed. You know, our town comprehensive plan. You know,

1101
01:57:00,593 --> 01:57:00,593
there, there ought to be some kind of concessions to make up at least. So the town breaks

1102
01:57:05,632 --> 01:57:05,632
even and doesn't lose a bunch of money on this through all the extra police and whatever

1103
01:57:10,804 --> 01:57:10,804
else I'm not even thinking about. Thanks. I'm marina hartman. It's interesting to me

1104
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:20,080
that you all change the comprehensive plan for this development. So it is an ever

1105
01:57:24,718 --> 01:57:24,718
changing, comprehensive plan. But my my concern with it is that it is it's extremely dense.

1106
01:57:35,930 --> 01:57:35,930
and I don't believe in all my years of being in the interior design and architectural

1107
01:57:41,669 --> 01:57:41,669
business that I've ever seen less detailed plans. I don't know that northlake has ever

1108
01:57:46,740 --> 01:57:46,740
considered a less detailed plan than what you all showed to the public just now. I mean,

1109
01:57:51,712 --> 01:57:51,712
there's no detail to it whatsoever, and I'm used to looking at detailed

1110
01:57:56,451 --> 01:57:56,451
architectural plans. So thank you for your time. Thank you. Anyone else this evening?

1111
01:58:07,194 --> 01:58:07,194
alright, it is 7:28 p.m. I'll close the public hearing. And with that, we've done the comp

1112
01:58:19,474 --> 01:58:19,474
plan. Barely. And then we got the zoning. So now this is. I'm sorry. We did the annexation.

1113
01:58:27,015 --> 01:58:27,015
so now they're in town and we do have development agreement in place. So it's my

1114
01:58:32,053 --> 01:58:32,053
understanding that the economics of our of the way that we have our police service,

1115
01:58:36,925 --> 01:58:36,925
because we talked about this a little bit, the economics of the way that we have our police

1116
01:58:41,129 --> 01:58:41,129
service is that the cost of the the cost to patrol the area is, is accounted for with the

1117
01:58:49,672 --> 01:58:49,672
property tax base that we're adding. Roughly speaking, our property tax, the 29.5 cents,

1118
01:58:56,345 --> 01:58:56,345
about half of it is operations, which is supports police department. And the other half

1119
01:59:03,419 --> 01:59:03,419
is debt service, which supports our roads. So yes, all operating property taxes go to

1120
01:59:11,327 --> 01:59:11,327
police and all ins property taxes go to roads. So they're going to play. They're going to

1121
01:59:20,902 --> 01:59:20,902
pay for the additional fees these residents will pay. These residents will pay the same way

1122
01:59:24,907 --> 01:59:24,907
that we do because they're annexed now, because they're annexed now. They wouldn't have.

1123
01:59:32,649 --> 01:59:32,649
the question hasn't been answered, though. Is it going to pay for itself? In the whole.

1124
01:59:40,490 --> 01:59:40,490
yes. The there is commercial in this in this development, there's some commercial. So we

1125
01:59:48,898 --> 01:59:48,898
believe that will help balance the scales, even it out. Another thing is for our water

1126
01:59:55,304 --> 01:59:55,304
and sewer system, the the extension of our water system to open up more areas to get

1127
02:00:00,377 --> 02:00:00,377
more customers. You know, your, your pipes are a set amount, your cup, your customers are.

1128
02:00:10,755 --> 02:00:10,755
piecemeal. There's an economic term that's escaping me right now. And the other thing is a

1129
02:00:15,125 --> 02:00:19,062
sewer line that we're partnering with justin with. This will have immediate customers on here on here that will help pay for that line. So on the whole, definitely on our

1130
02:00:24,768 --> 02:00:24,768
water and sewer system, this is a it's a benefit. And I believe on the general fund side with

1131
02:00:30,507 --> 02:00:30,507
the commercial, it's, it's, it's at least break even. Thank you sir. Good doctor sessions.

1132
02:00:39,884 --> 02:00:39,884
all right, all right. We will take a vote. Do I have a motion? Motion approved for mister ganz

1133
02:00:50,795 --> 02:00:50,795
and second for miss holmes. Motion carries 6 to 1. All right. And finally, on the

1134
02:01:13,452 --> 02:01:13,452
regular agenda tonight, consider adoption to north lake, amending the adopted budget for

1135
02:01:18,423 --> 02:01:18,423
fiscal year. Drew. Oh, this is the good one. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And I'll I'll just tee

1136
02:01:30,368 --> 02:01:30,368
this up for you, but. We've come to the realization we've been talking about roads all

1137
02:01:36,141 --> 02:01:36,141
night, but the town has become responsible for building infrastructure for the region.

1138
02:01:43,316 --> 02:01:43,316
we've been waiting and waiting for texdot to expand their roadways. And we. All our

1139
02:01:53,692 --> 02:01:53,692
neighbors. And just a quick aside, I I'm on a board with the former mayor of justin in

1140
02:01:59,465 --> 02:01:59,465
his first question, whenever he sees me is how the roads are doing because he cuts through

1141
02:02:03,937 --> 02:02:03,937
north lake. We know a lot of people from justin and ponder, but that's what we do. We share

1142
02:02:08,508 --> 02:02:08,508
in that. But we. With the mayor's suggestion and other actual other council members, I

1143
02:02:16,416 --> 02:02:16,416
was trading emails with council member gans about another one of these intersections, about

1144
02:02:22,188 --> 02:02:22,188
how can we take what we've got, tweak it, get a little bit more through while we're waiting and

1145
02:02:28,594 --> 02:02:28,594
waiting for texdot. So I've got three projects on your on your consent agenda. We've already

1146
02:02:36,202 --> 02:02:36,202
approved half to start designing these, but I want to go through these. But once he

1147
02:02:40,974 --> 02:02:44,845
once dennis and his crew gets through designing, we're going to have to pay for these. So want to talk about them and then how we're going to pay for them. So this is north is on

1148
02:02:49,817 --> 02:02:49,817
your right. South is on your left towards your left. You're going down. 1171 this is the

1149
02:02:54,620 --> 02:02:54,620
western edge of canyon falls. We found that people turning east on west bridge from

1150
02:03:02,830 --> 02:03:02,830
southbound cleveland gibbs or backing up traffic, people trying to get down. 1171. So

1151
02:03:08,936 --> 02:03:08,936
we've got not much right away, but we're going to bump out and put an extra lane. And so the

1152
02:03:15,342 --> 02:03:15,342
through traffic will go around. There'll be a protected left turn lane. It will probably get

1153
02:03:20,849 --> 02:03:20,849
4 or 5 cars in there. There's usually not more than that in the mornings, but that'll help

1154
02:03:25,853 --> 02:03:25,853
get some of that through traffic. That's number one. Number two. So we have the

1155
02:03:33,861 --> 02:03:33,861
ultimate northbound drive from 1171, from westbound 1171 to northbound cleveland gibbs. But

1156
02:03:42,771 --> 02:03:42,771
it doesn't go very far at all. In fact, you can see where the you can see where the concrete

1157
02:03:49,577 --> 02:03:49,577
ends. So this would extend that concrete. And then ultimately we'd have to get back over

1158
02:03:56,084 --> 02:03:56,084
because we don't we don't own any of this property. We don't have right of way. Yet another

1159
02:04:01,590 --> 02:04:01,590
thing to keep in mind is we've got a power pole that we've got to work around. And then

1160
02:04:06,527 --> 02:04:06,527
finally, that that big yellow marked out area is, is where it's just one lane. But we need

1161
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:12,000
trucks to be able to make that turn. Right now they have to navigate around this median cut.

1162
02:04:17,339 --> 02:04:17,339
so that's a very tight turn for trucks. What this will do on the southbound side is we'll

1163
02:04:25,013 --> 02:04:25,013
get that much desired right turn only. So that clears that traffic out. We'll actually be

1164
02:04:31,220 --> 02:04:31,220
able to establish two two left turn lanes. And that will get a lot of that traffic is heading

1165
02:04:38,827 --> 02:04:38,827
that direction. And then the the few people that are heading into the airport will be able

1166
02:04:42,932 --> 02:04:42,932
to go straight. And then finally, and this was kind of a late breaking improvement is to

1167
02:04:50,106 --> 02:04:50,106
have a curb island separated, dedicated right turn lane that's independent with that

1168
02:04:56,546 --> 02:04:56,546
curb separation, it's independent of that traffic signal cycles. So any traffic

1169
02:05:02,385 --> 02:05:02,385
that's heading westbound that go northbound gibbs can continue unimpeded. So all of

1170
02:05:09,925 --> 02:05:09,925
these projects together, the the opinion of probable cost is 1.2 million. We have again,

1171
02:05:20,137 --> 02:05:20,137
some interest earnings in our capital project fund. We have some available road impact fee

1172
02:05:26,476 --> 02:05:26,476
funds. And we we are going to reassign some of our capital projects that we have with the

1173
02:05:33,383 --> 02:05:33,383
county because we have now developers have committed to build some of those roads. So

1174
02:05:38,121 --> 02:05:38,121
we'll reassign some of that already budgeted existing funds from the county over to this

1175
02:05:43,593 --> 02:05:43,593
project to get us to 1.2 million. So this is wasn't part of the original capital

1176
02:05:50,201 --> 02:05:50,201
improvement plan. We'd like you to amend the budget and include this in the capital improvement

1177
02:05:54,872 --> 02:05:54,872
plan. If you want to do these. Right. I have a question too. So I mean seeing the different

1178
02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:02,080
costs for this, obviously a lot of this is caused with the the great deal of development in

1179
02:06:10,754 --> 02:06:10,754
the area. And so is there not ways we can ask the developer to assist with this because it

1180
02:06:18,062 --> 02:06:18,062
is a kind of a again, there's a shared cost with this shared need to continue to to develop.

1181
02:06:25,570 --> 02:06:25,570
and like you said, even like we don't own the right of way to this. I mean, yeah, this, this

1182
02:06:30,542 --> 02:06:30,542
property owner hasn't, hasn't developed yet. And that's not a hillwood property. No, sir. At

1183
02:06:35,647 --> 02:06:35,647
that point. So, so, but like some of this, this one will be, this will be dedicated to us.

1184
02:06:42,020 --> 02:06:42,020
and they have been paying road impact fees for, for pecan square. They've built all their

1185
02:06:49,228 --> 02:06:49,228
internal roads, their border roads. This probably won't, this road particular won't be

1186
02:06:56,468 --> 02:06:56,468
needed when all of this is built out and gibbs is taken through. Right. So it's more of

1187
02:07:01,907 --> 02:07:01,907
a, a temporary road. But we have we have ample impact fees that they've they've already

1188
02:07:07,246 --> 02:07:11,183
contributed sitting in the bank. So in a sense, councilmember pizzuto, they've already they've already kind of prepaid for this with those impact fees. And then finally, this they did

1189
02:07:19,491 --> 02:07:19,491
what we asked them to do at canyon falls. And we're pretty much through with this

1190
02:07:25,264 --> 02:07:25,264
development on this one. Now, a new developer is building north of here and they're building

1191
02:07:29,402 --> 02:07:29,402
all their roads as well. There is a concept of rough proportionality that the state

1192
02:07:36,074 --> 02:07:36,074
won't let you have them build everything they have to build what is roughly proportional to

1193
02:07:41,181 --> 02:07:41,181
what their development causes. And so with our engineer and our attorney, we believe

1194
02:07:47,987 --> 02:07:47,987
they've done that. So I got the most calls I've ever gotten in my time on council. The second

1195
02:07:59,099 --> 02:07:59,099
that we closed. And we got to learn very, very quickly the amount of regional traffic that

1196
02:08:06,673 --> 02:08:06,673
flows through. I the west bridge in cleveland, gibbs one is needed and overdue, and I'm

1197
02:08:15,014 --> 02:08:15,014
happy to see this one on our agenda. The turn from 1171 to. I'm at 1171. Cross timbers.

1198
02:08:25,726 --> 02:08:25,726
yeah. To gibbs is so desperately needed. That intersection is painful. I'm so

1199
02:08:32,999 --> 02:08:32,999
thankful to see these. And I also for how much it costs for us to do to do anything. I'm

1200
02:08:39,773 --> 02:08:39,773
impressed with what we're able to do with this projected cost. I think we're spending some

1201
02:08:47,348 --> 02:08:47,348
money wisely and that we saw what a huge pain point it was. The day, the day that we shut

1202
02:08:52,753 --> 02:08:52,753
that down. I think that especially with the time and we didn't shut it down, we

1203
02:09:01,762 --> 02:09:01,762
redirected. Yes. Well, whatever it was, I got a lot of calls. Yeah. The real issue that we

1204
02:09:08,569 --> 02:09:08,569
saw is that we are supporting the region far more than ever intended, due to delays on 407

1205
02:09:14,342 --> 02:09:14,342
due to other techs, dot delays on 35 access road. And we're, we're kind of ponying up here

1206
02:09:22,017 --> 02:09:22,017
on stuff that we really shouldn't have to, but for the ease of our residents and then

1207
02:09:26,588 --> 02:09:30,425
the additional benefit of people coming through town, this road when everything's built, the access roads are built, etc. This road will not have the traffic on it that

1208
02:09:35,030 --> 02:09:35,030
we're seeing today, but we will eventually have four lanes coming up from cross timbers

1209
02:09:41,269 --> 02:09:41,269
northward as the other projects build. But this is when I was talking with staff and told

1210
02:09:46,308 --> 02:09:46,308
them, I think it's about a month or two before the whole gibbs and mulkey changeover. I

1211
02:09:51,313 --> 02:09:51,313
said, hey, let's start looking at ways we can improve things for our residents and get ahead

1212
02:09:56,685 --> 02:09:56,685
of something for once. And staff came back with this. The timing was great. You guys came

1213
02:10:01,790 --> 02:10:01,790
back with this, and I want to get this out as quickly as possible because this is the

1214
02:10:06,462 --> 02:10:06,462
kind of stuff that, you know, everybody says we should have foresight on things and this is

1215
02:10:10,532 --> 02:10:14,470
getting ahead of things a little bit. So I appreciate council's. Yeah. I mean, just to disagree getting ahead. I mean, I personally over a year ago foresaw this happening when

1216
02:10:20,509 --> 02:10:20,509
it did happen when I was on p and z, anybody who drives and I don't, I don't believe a lot of

1217
02:10:26,282 --> 02:10:26,282
this traffic is outside of our area. Anybody who drives from this side of north lake to

1218
02:10:32,722 --> 02:10:32,722
canyon falls, because of the number of kids and students going to the high school there,

1219
02:10:37,794 --> 02:10:37,794
that is what that traffic is. It is specifically because of school, and it is our residents

1220
02:10:44,601 --> 02:10:44,601
going through there. And so if you didn't, if you didn't expect this, then you're not

1221
02:10:49,973 --> 02:10:49,973
driving that on a daily basis like I was. And like many people, other people are. So

1222
02:10:56,179 --> 02:10:56,179
yes, I think some of this is needed, but also we've got to figure out other ways because

1223
02:11:00,417 --> 02:11:00,417
this is a this is a small band aid on a very big problem, not only on, you know, it takes now

1224
02:11:08,057 --> 02:11:08,057
what used to take ten minutes, 30 minutes, even with the most recent changes to get from this

1225
02:11:13,731 --> 02:11:13,731
side to that side during school rush hour. So it's, it's not, it's not good. And we've got to

1226
02:11:23,507 --> 02:11:23,507
figure out even more to do. We'll certainly look at some future ideas if you have some I

1227
02:11:29,981 --> 02:11:29,981
the residents I've been talking to, I mean, the, the loud social media posts, everything

1228
02:11:36,187 --> 02:11:36,187
has died down dramatically when we got those lights up. So I mean, things have I gone during

1229
02:11:42,425 --> 02:11:46,164
the heaviest of heaviest rush hours and I've not experienced 30 minutes. I'm sorry that you have. But yeah, we're seeing we've seen massive improvements. The complaints have all but

1230
02:11:52,970 --> 02:11:52,970
disappeared. So let's continue to look for improvements as well. But I think this is

1231
02:11:59,710 --> 02:11:59,710
important to get moving forward with that. If more discussion or I will happily make a motion

1232
02:12:06,084 --> 02:12:06,084
to approve second. All right. Motion for myself. Second for mr. Ganz.

1233
02:12:27,873 --> 02:12:27,873
motion carries 6 to 1. All right. With that, we will go into executive session under

1234
02:12:38,417 --> 02:12:38,417
551071551072551087. And I believe we have so

1235
02:12:44,204 --> 02:12:44,204
it is 8:31 pe return from executive session with three items to consider.

1236
02:12:51,144 --> 02:12:51,144
we will consider authorizing town manager to negotiate and execute a development agreement

1237
02:12:55,815 --> 02:12:55,815
with property owners that we have presented tonight for the hilltop truck park and

1238
02:13:01,188 --> 02:13:01,188
surrounding properties. We are approving town, our town manager to negotiate a master

1239
02:13:10,231 --> 02:13:10,231
development agreement, along with a micro development agreement for two residences. I

1240
02:13:17,138 --> 02:13:17,138
will make a motion to approve second and a second for miss holmes. Motion carries

1241
02:13:38,326 --> 02:13:38,326
unanimous. Next, we have a resolution to execute development agreement with

1242
02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:44,800
pecan square business park. This is the area right in front of some sun belt storage. The

1243
02:13:50,239 --> 02:13:50,239
