[0:36] it.
[0:37] Heavenly Father, we are just so thankful that you are a God of grace and a God of love,

[4:05] hearing item.
[4:06] Members of the public should complete a public meeting appearance card prior to the meeting
[4:10] and present it to the city secretary.
[4:13] Speakers are allowed up to five minutes to speak.
[4:16] The city council is unable to respond or discuss any issues that are brought up

[4:40] demeaning, insulting, threatening, and or disparaging remarks as to maintain decorum
[4:45] and support the efficient and orderly flow of the meeting.
[4:51] All right, first will be Stan Fike.
[5:02] Stan Fike, live at 123 Teakwood Drive.
[5:06] I'm a 34 year citizen of Princeton, Texas.
[5:10] Pastor at Faith Baptist Church,
[5:11] volunteer chaplain for the Princeton Police Department
[5:15] and vice president of the Christian Ministry Alliance
[5:18] of Princeton and also Christ Cares for Princeton,
[5:22] Benevolence Organization.
[5:23] The 2026 National Day of Prayers Thursday, May 7th, themed glorify God among the nations,
[5:32] seeking him in all generations based on 1 Chronicles 16-24, declare his glory among the
[5:38] nations as wonders among all peoples.
[5:42] The 2026 National Prayer calls for repentance, rededication, and thanksgiving for 250 years
[5:50] of guidance.
[5:51] The significance of this year is that we do mark 250 years as a nation and the 75th anniversary
[6:00] of the National Day of Prayer.
[6:03] Days of Prayer have long been a part of the history of America.
[6:08] Colonists declared days of prayers during droughts, Indian attacks, and threats from
[6:12] other nations.
[6:13] Edward Winslow's record of pilgrims' experiences stated that drought and the like considerations
[6:20] moved not only every good man privately to enter into examination of his own
[6:25] estate between God and his conscience, and so did humiliation before him, but
[6:30] also to humble ourselves together before the Lord by fasting and prayer. On March
[6:36] 30th, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of
[6:41] humiliation, fasting and prayer. He said, the awful calamity of civil war
[6:46] may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins to the
[6:52] needful end of our national reformation as a whole people. We have forgotten God.
[6:57] We have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all
[7:02] these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
[7:08] Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too proud to pray to the
[7:13] God that made us. It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended power
[7:19] to confess our national sins. And so on and on you can find on the internet all of these
[7:26] different times when our national fathers called us to prayer because we recognize our
[7:33] need. Sometimes in times of plenty and in times when we're not hurting, we forget to
[7:40] thank the God who brought us here. And so I just want to let you know that we are having
[7:48] a National Day of Prayer service at Love Lady High School on Thursday, May 7th.
[7:57] Thank you.
[7:57] I lost my date all of a sudden. Thursday, May 2nd, 7th at Love Lady High School from
[8:03] 6.30 to 8.30. I invite you to be a part of that. And again, I know there were some
[8:09] new rules put on proclamations over the last year or so.
[8:14] But I would urge this council and mayor
[8:18] to consider a proclamation of a Princeton Day of Prayer
[8:22] that coincides with the National Day of Prayer
[8:24] and to do that henceforth every year during this time
[8:30] to say we recognize our need for prayer.
[8:33] We see our community divided.
[8:35] We see our community with great growth needs.
[8:39] And so I just urge you to call on the one who has the supreme wisdom and to join us in doing so.
[8:46] Thank
[8:49] you.
[8:55] Crystal?
[9:00] Is it Gousson?
[9:02] Gousson.
[9:15] None to Mike.
[9:17] No, we said talk on it.
[9:20] Back to you and everyone.
[9:24] I had a presentation that I want to show you guys, but for some reason it didn't download to my flash drive,
[9:29] but I do have it on my computer, but I wanted to present a proposal for a Princeton vendor
[9:38] market initiative that I am attempting to spearhead for an economic development proposal.
[9:50] And I don't know if we have the technology for me to connect my computer here or not,
[9:58] but I do have a presentation that I would love to read can we can she can't
[10:05] hook up her computer correct for the presentation no yeah we can't you can't
[10:11] hook up the computer if you want huh yeah yeah they will have to to review it
[10:17] first before it goes up there okay so do you want to add it to the next
[10:22] meeting so we can actually fully talk talk about it sure and if I can get
[10:26] you to email it into Amber and that way we can have a full presentation on it.
[10:31] Perfect.
[10:31] And you guys have the outline and the entire scope of what it is that I am proposing.
[10:38] I did speak with Chase over Parks and Rec today for an extensive amount of time.
[10:44] Most of the approval will go through him.
[10:47] It's just that I had a question about the fees for vendors that if we were to
[10:52] manipulate those at any cost I would have to bring it before you guys first.
[10:58] So if you are familiar with the trade aids vendor event in McKinney that they
[11:04] have every third every third weekend of the month it brings a lot of business
[11:10] attraction and tourists and traffic into the community and I'm just looking
[11:15] at spearhead something similar for Princeton. I think it'll be a great
[11:20] initiative to to build our residents and small businesses and entrepreneurs. Yeah
[11:26] and if you can email me that presentation too because depending on what it is we
[11:30] might be able to add it as a work set session item so we can actually talk
[11:33] about it. Perfect, so you want me to email it to you? Email it to me, it's me and Amber.
[11:38] Okay, well thank you. Thank you.
[11:45] Sherrod?
[12:07] Mayor, members of council, as we
[12:10] To begin the work of shaping our upcoming fiscal 26-27 budget, we must confront a reality
[12:17] we all feel.
[12:18] Princeton is still a fast-growing city.
[12:21] We residents expect high-quality service, but we know we cannot simply hire our way
[12:26] out of this growth.
[12:28] We have a lean staff working incredibly hard, but eventually the manual workload becomes
[12:34] unsustainable.
[12:36] This isn't just a technical observation.
[12:39] information, it's about listening to our community. As one of the residents, Ms. Maxine shared
[12:45] so pointedly in our last meeting, we need to move into the 21st century and stop operating
[12:51] like it's the 1900s. She's right, our growth demands modern tools. To keep our budget
[12:59] healthy and avoid the need for property tax increases, we must shift from being reactive
[13:05] to being efficient.
[13:08] I am requesting that we budget to evaluate
[13:10] and propose the integration of practical AI technology
[13:15] across our city departments.
[13:17] The goal is simple.
[13:19] We use technology to handle routine repetitive tasks
[13:24] so our staff can focus on the human centric work
[13:27] that actually moves the needle for us residents.
[13:31] When we automate a utility billing question
[13:33] or a basic permit check.
[13:36] We aren't just saving time.
[13:38] We are freeing up funds.
[13:39] Those savings can be directly reallocated
[13:42] to where they are needed the most,
[13:45] putting more boots on the ground
[13:47] for our police and fire departments.
[13:51] We don't need to reinvent the wheel.
[13:53] A recent GovTech report highlights that Texas cities
[13:56] now have access to a curated collection
[13:59] of vetted AI vendors.
[14:00] We can navigate these pre-approved state resources, ensuring we spend our tax dollars
[14:07] on proven, secure technology.
[14:11] Our neighbors are already proving this works.
[14:15] Alan and Plano use AI, intelligent traffic management to keep cars moving.
[14:20] McKinney has adopted AI to improve utility efficiency.
[14:24] Anna and Melissa are using AI to ensure resident response times remain fast.
[14:31] Let's be the leader in the space.
[14:33] Let's use this budget cycle to invest in a roadmap that delivers superior service, supports
[14:39] our staff, and protects us taxpayers.
[14:43] Let's grow smarter together.
[14:44] Thank you.
[14:46] Thank you.
[14:47] So, am I seeing others?
[15:02] Good evening, council, mayor.
[15:05] Tonight I come to you with a couple things.
[15:07] One, I totally agree with the short term that we need to look into that,
[15:12] but we also need to look into long-term rentals.
[15:17] Long-term rentals is one of the key items that is hurting and affecting our property value.
[15:25] My property value, and I know everybody's might have been over-exaggerated a little bit.
[15:30] They always do that, but my property value dropped $21,000 from last year to this year.
[15:42] Okay, I have it with me.
[15:45] I have a couple neighbors that theirs dropped $32,000 in Arcadia.
[15:51] We have a large long-term rental challenge that decreases your property value.
[15:58] The short-term does, absolutely,
[16:01] but long-term does a lot more impact.
[16:06] The other thing that impacts our property values,
[16:10] and you know, I started with this city in 2021
[16:18] when I got appointed to the very first,
[16:20] well, the most recent homeless charter.
[16:24] Start on that commission in February 22,
[16:28] and that homeless charter actually got voted in hence where we are now.
[16:35] One of
[16:35] the biggest things I've always said and I've always wanted to be part of the city
[16:41] because I am not a rubber stamper. I will never be a rubber stamper. I do my
[16:48] homework, I do my research, I may not get my car and physically drive
[16:55] somewhere. I do a lot of research before I get up and talk about something. With
[17:02] that being said, our city needs to grow its commercial. That is hurting it. But
[17:12] with that being said, we need to stop beating up our developers. I get it.
[17:21] Everybody in this entire city gets it.
[17:25] We have drainage issues.
[17:27] You know what? Walk out the door right now.
[17:29] It just rained.
[17:30] I'm sure there's a drainage issue in the parking lot here.
[17:33] Okay, we get it.
[17:36] It is what it is.
[17:38] It's Princeton.
[17:40] But we can't beat up every single developer,
[17:45] every single commercial piece of land
[17:48] that wants to come in here.
[17:49] We can't keep beating them up, and that's all we're doing and yes, I sit on P&Z
[17:55] I sit on Parks and Rec. I sit on Homels. I don't rubber stamp
[18:00] I do my research and I say no to things
[18:05] But um if somebody can give me a piece of paper when it's absolutely required
[18:12] Then give me that paper then don't
[18:16] If it's something I can yeah, you can ask for it
[18:19] Well, great, I'll ask if I want it.
[18:22] But if you're required to hand me that paper,
[18:24] hand me that paper when you're required to.
[18:27] But stop, just stop beating up our developers,
[18:32] because you know what they do?
[18:35] They turn around, they walk out the door.
[18:38] And you know what, I can tell you for a fact,
[18:40] there was gonna be a dentist over by the Domino's
[18:44] on 380, and I think it's 4th Street.
[18:47] And you know where that developer is now?
[18:51] They're not here.
[18:52] They're not coming here.
[18:54] You want to know why?
[18:56] Because we beat them up.
[19:01] The madness.
[19:03] Just stop.
[19:05] Let our city grow.
[19:07] Thank you.
[19:09] Thank you.
[19:15] This is no more public comment this time.
[19:18] This will take us to our consent agenda, Ms. Cook.
[19:27] Consent agenda?
[19:28] All consent agenda items listed are considered to be routine by the City Council and will
[19:33] be enacted by one motion.
[19:34] There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Council member so requests
[19:39] or a member of the public signs a public meeting appearance card requesting to speak
[19:43] on the item in which event the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered
[19:47] in its normal sequence on the regular agenda.
[19:50] Ms. Ruse has an update on one of the items.
[19:54] Good evening again.
[19:55] Then item G5, which is considered a final plan for cross mill phase 1A subject to acceptance
[20:02] of Brookside Boulevard, the applicant has asked that we, the council, pull this off
[20:09] consent, table it until May 11th.
[20:13] They didn't get their order of street lights in time.
[20:22] And just so I can let you all know, we've changed our process.
[20:26] Because in the past we used to do final plaids as an acceptance of infrastructure and that
[20:34] at times created issues because council then felt like you know you had to because final
[20:39] plaid have a 30 day shock lock.
[20:41] So we separated the two.
[20:43] We now do acceptance of infrastructure separately and final plaid separately.
[20:49] The reason we're tying this final plan to the acceptance of infrastructure is because
[20:57] the property is outside of city limits.
[21:00] Inside city limits, we can just hold the building permit until they do the infrastructure
[21:07] correctly.
[21:08] Here if we approve the final plan, county gives permits, so we have nothing then
[21:15] to hold them to make the infrastructure correct.
[21:19] So that's why we're asking that until they do it all right, we just hold the final plan.
[21:27] All right.
[21:28] Thank you.
[21:28] Thank you.
[21:29] Ms. Todd.
[21:30] Yeah.
[21:30] So for clarification then, CrossMill has three items on this agenda.
[21:37] So three of these items will have infrastructure attached to them, but white wing trails
[21:42] and the two and two white wing trails and the East Ridge.
[21:49] So six, seven and eight will not have infrastructure
[21:52] attached to them.
[21:55] So the first two schools, Punch Park and Joyce Carroll,
[22:02] they are in the city limits.
[22:05] So that's why they're also not tied to the infrastructure
[22:08] and the only infrastructure is Brookside Boulevard
[22:11] that the developer of CrossMill is constructing.
[22:15] So the schools can go forward,
[22:17] there's no infrastructure attached,
[22:19] except it's attached to the schools.
[22:25] Then I will motion to accept the consent agenda
[22:29] with removal of item G5
[22:32] and with infrastructure not attached
[22:35] to the remaining final plans.
[22:41] If you can pull G3 and G4.
[22:44] Yeah, so you have to pull your motion back.
[22:47] Okay,
[22:51] then I pull back my motion and I will make a new motion to accept the consent agenda with the removal items G3 and 4 and G5 and for the remaining items to not have their infrastructure approved with the final plan.
[23:22] Yeah, you have to, you have to, we can just pull them off.
[23:26] G3 and G4 do not have infrastructure.
[23:37] If I was outside of city limits, so you put them together.
[23:41] The others are within city limits, so they do not have to be together.
[23:45] Okay.
[23:46] Alright, so if we're going to change the motion, you'll have to pull that motion back again.
[23:49] Why can we not approve that condition?
[23:53] Can we approve three different items with conditional on each item?
[23:56] Well, because the reason is that in the past when we've approved a final plot,
[24:00] It automatically included infrastructure without any specialization like specializing in framing and so since this is the first time we're doing it
[24:08] I think we need to be very clear
[24:11] Infrastructure is not included if you're gonna make any changes to the motions presented on consent
[24:16] Or the items can present a consent or the motions. So we need just pull them in. Yeah, we're gonna have to pull them on.
[24:22] I'm wishing to pull back my
[24:25] my previous motion and I'll motion to approve the consent agenda for only items G1 and 2
[24:30] and for items G3 through 8.
[24:34] We
[24:37] have a motion.
[24:38] We have a second.
[24:40] Second.
[24:41] We have a motion.
[24:42] We have a second.
[24:42] Sorry.
[24:43] Motion
[24:54] passes 5-1.
[25:04] And we will go a little out of order.
[25:07] We will jump into the public hearing at this time.
[25:09] Item J.
[25:11] Ms. Cook.
[25:14] Can continue the public hearing from March 23, 2026, City Council meeting and consider
[25:19] and the ordinance rezoning the property at 1503 Long Neck Road from single family estate
[25:25] to plan development 46 and take appropriate action.
[25:28] Ms. Roos.
[25:30] Good evening, everyone.
[25:32] This is a case you've heard before.
[25:36] It is rezoning this piece of property we see up here, almost southeast of Monte Carlo
[25:43] Boulevard and Long Neck.
[25:46] the one acre property the purple around is the 200 feet buffer we do have the
[25:55] zoning here is SFE right now I know that it shows gray but that's because it's
[26:03] subject property but across is also a single family estate across the street
[26:10] the rest of this is agricultural the corner 0.5 acre at the corner above
[26:17] this property is PD-46. Across the street on both sides of 75 is commercial. It's in a PD but both
[26:29] corners are zone commercial. And we do have a PD-37 that's multifamily, PD-29 that's multifamily.
[26:42] and this area you see is a development agreement for multifamily.
[26:51] All of them have approached and are considering some sort of mixed use.
[26:57] This property owner, nobody knows, but this corner property already has talked about
[27:05] rezoning it commercial.
[27:06] Now, PD-46 is special because they have a base zoning of C2 but then they have exclusions
[27:15] from there.
[27:16] So the idea is to make it more neighborhood retail instead of the C2 big retail.
[27:26] I will be honest that there are some uses there that when we do look at full ordinance
[27:34] change, we probably should look at all the uses that we allow.
[27:43] But that's your zoning.
[27:46] As we said, I think there has been some confusion to you about the size of the property for the
[27:53] PDE.
[27:54] So I just wanted to clarify.
[27:56] Our code does say that it should be two acres or above if it's a PDE.
[28:00] But then the very next line, it gives an out saying council can do a PD on smaller properties
[28:09] if it meets the compliance.
[28:12] So here, oh, sorry, here it-
[28:19] You're out of order.
[28:21] You have to be in knowledge before you speak, but let her finish and then we'll go so
[28:25] you can have your full time and we'll go from there.
[28:29] So this is compact neighborhood for our comprehensive plan and the way compact neighborhood is defined
[28:37] as a walkable, higher density neighborhood with neighborhood commercial allowed in there
[28:44] for people living there.
[28:46] And so this is, I'm sorry, this is very small but you can see uses that will be, I'm not
[28:53] really understanding dental office, coffee shop, and nail salon. Those are not even uses
[28:59] in our use chart. However, they were excluded specifically, but tattoo parlor, small engine
[29:08] repair, mortuary, funeral home, childcare center too, puts a lot of traffic and creates
[29:15] issues on the corner, vape and smoke shop, laundromat, those are the kind of uses
[29:21] or drive-in or drive-through restaurant gas pumps.
[29:26] All of this have been excluded from the list of C2 uses.
[29:34] And so the overall effect is restricting uses
[29:39] that will cause traffic issues, queuing, odors,
[29:44] preserving a lower impact on neighborhood compatible.
[29:48] Adable commercial district is what we're trying to do concept plan is it's 5,000 square foot
[29:56] The applicant is here. We have been told
[30:00] Local by the applicant that it will be a state farm office suite. Maybe another office they
[30:07] might share and rent some space. But I did want to let you all know this is just a concept
[30:14] plan. This is not how it will develop. After the zoning goes through, if it goes through,
[30:21] they have to do a preliminary plan. So the concept plan is just an idea. They're going
[30:27] have to come back with all the preliminary engineering, everything, and then after that
[30:33] they will have to come back with a site plan and site civils to make sure that everything
[30:40] fits in meets the ordinance and can be constructed on the property.
[30:45] So just wanted to let you all know that concept plan just means that's the idea
[30:51] if it's they won't be able to go over 5,000 because the concept plans as 5,000
[30:58] but they can go lower if the property and everything doesn't allow that with
[31:05] parking and landscaping they might have to go lower but that they can do they
[31:11] just come make it 10,000 so just so you all see what staff did as an
[31:17] analysis, we looked at the surrounding zoning and land use. We looked at if it was compatible
[31:23] with the comp plan for the size of the property, one acre property. There is infrastructure capacity
[31:31] right now to serve this property and then traffic or access concerns that we will be
[31:42] requiring a TIA. As of right now, the applicants said they're doing office use, but again,
[31:50] it's PD-46, so they could do any use. That's why we asked for TIA, and before we ever let
[31:59] anyone build anything, we'll make sure that the traffic is not creating an issue for the
[32:06] community around it. Environmental flood considerations, I mean they have to
[32:13] follow the rules, our rules and so they will be only allowed to construct what
[32:19] meets our rules. So that's why staff is comfortable recommending approval based
[32:26] on a land use decision. So right now is commercial land use okay at this
[32:34] corner based on the planning best practices everything around here is going
[32:41] commercial neighborhood commercial of low intensity is probably the best we want
[32:48] at this point but like I said that's why staff is recommending approval and so
[32:58] planning and zoning commission recommended approval with a vote of
[33:02] 4-1 and there was one abstaining at the April 20th meeting and today you've
[33:10] already continued the public hearing is required as you can either approve as
[33:16] requested, approve the request with conditions or deny the request.
[33:24] Questions.
[33:31] So first there is a second ordinance in regards to the minimum acreage where it
[33:36] says a specific findings is made that establishes, that the establishment of the district is required
[33:44] to implement the comprehensive plan, a strategic focus area, a special project, or any other
[33:50] purpose. So there will be a findings that has to be made today official for this.
[33:57] Furthermore, something that when I brought to you, you had said I was right. Within
[34:05] In our PD, it states clearly conceptual and development plan are required.
[34:13] During the review and public hearing process, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
[34:17] City Council shall require, not may, shall require a conceptual plan and a development
[34:24] plan, which is a detailed site plan.
[34:27] It also goes on to clearly define what each of those plans specifically require.
[34:32] So the things that planning and zoning had asked for are actual either items that are automatically included,
[34:39] such as the topographical contours, or things that they have the option to ask for,
[34:46] because that's what a planned development does.
[34:49] Plan development is a development that is a plan brought before council.
[34:54] And additionally, you're saying that they want to bring it to neighborhood commercial.
[35:00] Neighborhood Commercial is a zoning that we offer.
[35:06] And we're offering them C2, which includes a data center.
[35:12] Let's see, what else can we have on here?
[35:14] A private club.
[35:15] We can have motorcycle sales.
[35:19] We can have...
[35:21] There's two different types of laundry mats that are optional.
[35:24] Equipment and machinery sales.
[35:26] There are a series of things in here that are high-intensity uses
[35:30] and according to the what you have said and the staff report we have removed the
[35:36] high-intensity uses of C2 which is completely inaccurate when you actually
[35:41] look at the C2 item.
[35:47] Okay so my question for you is how is this when it's not
[35:57] meeting the ordinance when it's not bringing before us the things that we
[36:01] should have and it's not meaning what you're saying how is this something that
[36:08] we are recommending today when it's offering asking for all these things so
[36:15] I'll let the ordinance language I'll let the attorneys speak to that about but
[36:21] like I said the way I read the ordinance planning and zoning commission and
[36:25] council that's your prerogative all we do as staff is to give you the best
[36:31] technical advice. So the reason you're correct, that whole list of uses for C2, we've talked
[36:40] about this before, is very intensive. However, this is a one-acre property. So staff made
[36:47] a judgment call that on a one-acre property, obviously there's no data center that can
[36:52] come in. We also know that we're going to go through preliminary plan, through site
[36:57] plan through Final Platt, and those are times where we will make sure whatever goes on it
[37:05] is compatible with the neighborhood.
[37:07] So in the short period that we didn't have time to fix our ordinance, which I keep telling
[37:14] everyone as soon as we get the new COMP plan, we will do comprehensive code amendments
[37:22] for our subdivision and our zoning, but right now we're just patching things up
[37:27] and making it work, so we considered during staff analysis that yes, those uses are very
[37:36] high intensive uses, but on a one acre property, with all the other things they have to meet,
[37:44] they can't do those.
[37:45] Yeah, and PD46 is already created, right?
[37:50] So PD46 is already created, so we're not applying, so the uses are everything that
[37:57] defined and detailed as already defined in PD-46. So this property shouldn't have to define this
[38:01] uses or anything else for PD-46 because that's already been defined, correct? Yes, sir. So the
[38:07] only request was to expand PD-46 to include this one acre lot. PD-46 was created
[38:15] last year, early last year, I believe. And so we can only act on the applicants request and
[38:24] the applicant's request was just to expand PD-46 and put that on here, but PD-46.
[38:31] Hold on, if anybody else has questions, Councilor, could this be your second?
[38:38] You can ask questions.
[38:40] There are some letters that were presented. Can we ask questions on those?
[38:44] Okay, there are several things that I believe is really important. This is an issue we
[38:50] discussed, voted on, and it's being brought back. And I believe it's important to add
[38:55] some clarity and for our residents for transparency purposes, we received an e-mail today actually.
[39:05] And in that e-mail, there were several things.
[39:07] It says that Mr. Paxman was coached in this process.
[39:13] But there is something that, there is a statement here that says the entire process
[39:19] of PD-46 application, an expected approval has been the single greatest example of official
[39:27] misconduct, non-feezons, and dereliction of duty.
[39:32] Would you speak to that, please?
[39:34] And abuse of power.
[39:44] I'm not really sure how to answer that.
[39:47] However, I can say that there is a perception that the application was incorrect.
[39:52] correct. I would like to clarify that when people submit application for planning cases,
[40:00] all we ask in those applications, the only reason we ask for an application is so that
[40:05] staff understands what the request is. We can make sure that the fee is paid and also
[40:12] that the owner is the owner, that somebody else is not changing zoning or doing things
[40:20] on somebody else's property and that's why we usually ask a notary to sign so that it
[40:27] doesn't lie completely on our staff to make sure because we do it three ways.
[40:32] We ask for a deed, we ask for articles of incorporation if it's a LLC or a company.
[40:39] We also go on the appraisal district website to make sure the ownership is clear and
[40:46] And most times we've spoken to the owner, so we make sure that that's there.
[40:53] So if one of those things is off, it's, I mean, yes, I totally agree, notary going wrong
[41:01] is illegal, however, I'm a planner.
[41:06] I will let police chief talk to it.
[41:07] I don't know who makes the case against a notary notarizing incorrectly.
[41:13] But from a planning perspective, applicant made the application.
[41:19] We did the notification correctly because on the application you'll see that it says SUB.
[41:26] It's not, but we made sure that we understood what it is.
[41:30] Sometimes because we are doing this electronically, people are sending it back.
[41:38] So when you send it back, they're like, no, no, this is okay.
[41:41] So they'll send an email back and we get that email so that's why these kind of things happen
[41:47] But they're not really procedurally
[41:50] Nobody is pulling anything over. We've made sure that we didn't start working on it till they paid the correct fee
[41:57] We didn't start working on it till the we had a signature from a notary now
[42:04] Now it's not on us to make a decision on whether that signature was done correctly or not.
[42:12] And that's all I will say.
[42:16] We're planners, we're looking at it from a development perspective and that's it.
[42:22] So that's the reason we didn't.
[42:25] And then there is a concern that we are rezoning this in a hurry without thinking,
[42:32] without doing our due diligence that's really not the case because and I
[42:39] understand there is a lot of distrust in the community I can only prove it by
[42:45] doing the right things over and over again I am very new I get it but I can
[42:52] only say that this is land use related this is a one-acre property we will
[43:00] make sure that the idea is not spoiled. The other reason we recommended commercial was
[43:10] if you look at the northeast corner from here, that is drive-through McDonald's, gas station,
[43:22] having a home on this property is really single-family home. That road is not going
[43:29] to be the most fun road to live on and so if you look at it it increases their
[43:37] property value it increases everybody around's property value so in the end
[43:42] it's good and then also what they want to do is an office use when the market
[43:49] comes to this portion in about 10 15 20 years this building will have lived
[43:56] its life. So if somebody wanted to at that time say it was appropriate, counsel
[44:05] thinks it's appropriate, wants to combine properties, build something else, this is
[44:10] one use that won't stop it. So when we look at it from planning perspective,
[44:14] we're just looking at growth management and how not to spoil things in the
[44:20] future. There are many things we're having to deal with that happen in the
[44:25] past we're trying not to do that. We're trying to let people use their property. We can't
[44:31] just say, oh, don't use your property for anything, but can we manage and control it
[44:39] so that that property is used for properly that fits in with the surrounding and keeping
[44:47] the future in the mind so that in the future this is not a use that will create an
[44:54] issue and that's all I can say.
[45:00] I'm not really concerned. I'm not really understanding.
[45:07] Other than this, I'm not aware of what could have
[45:09] upset people, but I will say this is what I tell all my PhD and grad school students is
[45:17] not everyone's always going to be happy with a planner's recommendation, but that's our
[45:24] Your job is to give you all the facts, give you all the background, and then get back.
[45:30] It's on y'all how you want to, what decision you want to take.
[45:35] It's done for what you have to do.
[45:37] Ms. Grace, let's make sure everybody else, has everybody else spoken before you go back
[45:42] into it?
[45:42] Okay, yeah.
[45:42] Thank you.
[45:44] I have a question regarding the ordinance.
[45:47] I reviewed it and I looked at it.
[45:48] I personally don't have an issue with the commercial property being where it is, especially
[45:52] meeting that is the property owner requesting the change. I'm not in the
[45:56] business of telling people what they can do with their property. But my question
[46:01] was in regards to the ordinance itself where it stated shall we shall have
[46:05] that development that fully fleshed out development plan in there. Is it
[46:11] customary to normally have those in a conceptual plan?
[46:18] So ordinance, other
[46:21] ordinances do leave a lot to be required, desired. But, yeah, for a small one-acre property,
[46:32] a concept plan and a development plan literally are the same because if you go more detail
[46:40] than that, if one, if we call do a concept plan, then you do a development plan, they're
[46:50] showing on a concept plan at this stage, without any preliminary engineering, that's what they
[46:57] can show. The reason, and this is just me, I will tell you, 30 years experience, I don't
[47:05] like asking for that kind of detail at a zoning point with an ordinance because if
[47:10] you tie it to an ordinance, then they change one parking space, we'll be back in front
[47:17] of you will be spending $1,000 with Princeton Herald, notifying things, and I am not charging
[47:23] people $1,000 for a zoning change. So, I'm sorry, I've been working on the budget, so
[47:30] I'm kind of hurting on the notification things cost, but that's why we don't go to that
[47:37] much detail is because it's not just all of us are spending time. If it is a little
[47:45] thing changes on a concept, and they can't tell you what they're going to do at this
[47:52] stage in detail. They give you an idea.
[47:59] Is there any other questions from Council before we go on to the second round of questions?
[48:03] All right, I think Ms. Hyde wanted to go again in five minutes, thank you.
[48:11] It's not staff's place to exempt developers or applicants from things that our ordinance
[48:18] requirements require, especially when it says the planning and zoning and council shall.
[48:23] That would be something planning and zoning and council, that's a decision for us to
[48:28] make.
[48:29] And that decision was already made at the beginning of this when they made their application
[48:33] and only came with part of it and it was presented as such, like that, even through
[48:38] the first round.
[48:40] So that is definitely a systematic problem within our staffing that needs to be addressed.
[48:46] So staff cannot make those decisions.
[48:49] Zoning is a legislative decision.
[48:50] That is our power.
[48:52] I have a point of order.
[48:53] Can you ask the question, please?
[49:01] In regard to this zoning, and I am fine with commercial,
[49:08] if we're following the process.
[49:09] I just want to make that clear.
[49:11] If we are following the process
[49:12] and doing things the right way,
[49:16] I would understand that.
[49:18] In regards to the notice, it was not
[49:21] posted on the planning and zoning website
[49:25] under Notices online, and I did not see any notice included in the packet to the ISD, which
[49:33] is required by the state law, or it's void.
[49:38] So do we have evidence of a notice going to the ISD, because this is a residential property
[49:45] being changed, so that is an impact to the ISD, and a notice for the hearing is
[49:51] is required to go to the ISD.
[49:59] I mean, I have more, but you can answer that question first.
[50:11] That'd be, I guess.
[50:33] Kevin, if you can turn off your mic until you're ready to speak.
[50:37] I can speak to why we, I totally agree with you.
[50:42] Staff has no authority to circumvent an ordinance
[50:46] or to give any exemption to anybody.
[50:50] the way I read that ordinance was PNZ and council shall but it kind of the way
[50:57] that word shall was used was if you need more information to make your decision
[51:03] you shall ask for those things or you may ask for those things but that's just
[51:07] how I interpreted it but it's on PNZ and council to ask it somewhere and if I
[51:14] I read this wrong, my apologies,
[51:17] but staff can ask for it if we wanted to,
[51:23] and we didn't need that information to make a recommendation.
[51:29] Like I explained, we had our reasons,
[51:32] we come give you the background and our technical,
[51:35] but you absolutely have the authority
[51:38] to ask for all of those things,
[51:42] and I will let the city attorney talk to whether we should have been asking for
[51:50] all this information and of course I'll go with it. Like I said, the whole
[51:57] development plan and the concept plan, nobody asked for both. They are one and
[52:03] the same in idea. We are asking for both. And frankly, it works for, say, 120-acre property
[52:16] if you're putting a PD on it. So then you draw bubbles to say, conceptually, this is commercial,
[52:22] this area, this sub-district. And then you do a development plan, which is more specific.
[52:29] But for a one-acre property, yes, we made a judgment called My Apologies.
[52:37] I mean, that would be why PDs are supposed to be more than two acres because of that.
[52:43] So that brings me to my next question.
[52:44] If they wanted neighborhood commercial, why didn't they just ask for neighborhood commercial?
[52:50] Why are we here today with a PD that has C2 zoning as the base that can have a data center?
[52:58] And while they're one acre, I know from, as they stated in their letter, I did go to their
[53:05] barbecue to meet the neighborhood.
[53:07] I know they've been talking to the neighbor next to them who does have the land for it.
[53:12] I'm also aware that a data center has approached that neighbor.
[53:17] So these are things that are real possibilities of requests that are coming before us.
[53:24] So if they want office spaces and you also mentioned something about a bakery that was not in-house
[53:32] It's just like a they manufacture and put out there. That's actually manufacturing zoning. That's not under C2
[53:37] So they would need a variance for that
[53:40] but
[53:42] Why are we here looking at a PD with a base of C2?
[53:47] Why isn't it just neighborhood commercial because a PD is supposed to you have a base and it goes up
[53:52] Why are we making a list of takeaways?
[53:55] So can you explain why?
[53:56] Well, the PDs already exist, so we're not forming a PD.
[53:59] So you keep asking why do the PDs already exist?
[54:01] Actually, the PD was created without telling council about the two-acre thing,
[54:06] so that was a voidable thing.
[54:09] I agree with you and we're working on that,
[54:11] but that's not this case that we're working on right now.
[54:13] But if PD 46, the original, is voided,
[54:17] then tonight's hearing is also voided,
[54:19] which is not fair to them at all.
[54:21] So again, why are we not looking at it just as the neighborhood commercial zoning when
[54:29] neighborhood commercial and office spaces is what they are saying they're here for today?
[54:36] So again, this is because our ordinance is special.
[54:40] We do not allow office use in C2.
[54:45] We do not, they cannot do a state farm office in C2.
[54:49] they can do auto uses but not a plain office.
[54:55] So they can't do medical office,
[54:57] they can't do any professional office.
[54:59] It's just not an allowed use in neighborhood commercial.
[55:03] I'm gonna give it to Ms. Graves
[55:04] because she had a follow up question.
[55:12] I'm looking at another letter that was provided to us
[55:16] and it talks about that two acre restriction for the TIA
[55:20] and the additional downstream and drainage impact study.
[55:28] Given what you've shared with us and what's in the ordinance,
[55:34] are these required for this development?
[55:39] I'm going to let the attorney speak to it.
[55:41] When I read the ordinance, I don't read that these are required.
[55:46] I read it as you can ask for these if you need it to make your decision.
[55:52] But that's me. I'm not an attorney. I'm going to let Kevin speak.
[55:58] Yeah, on that issue, and we discussed this fairly extensively at the Planning and Zoning Commission last week,
[56:04] a lot of that information is something that the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Council may require as part of the application process before you approve the PD.
[56:13] It is not something that is absolutely required, it's something that is an add-on.
[56:20] Whether or not, from a planning standpoint, it's necessary on a development side, that's a matter of policy.
[56:27] But those provisions we've discussed, rather extensively last week, as noted,
[56:34] is not required that those items be provided as part of the overall PD application.
[56:41] And we have to be careful when we're, even though we can and we have the authority to
[56:47] ask for certain things before a zoning case, if this is a developer development that's
[56:52] a target or a made development, we make them do these studies at this point in time before
[56:57] they even have zoning on the land, they will walk away.
[57:00] So once we start setting this precedent in this city that this is how development
[57:03] goes, we will lose all commercial.
[57:05] That is, these studies are going to be required regardless after they get zoning changes.
[57:11] So they will be required in the preliminary play.
[57:13] But nobody's going to spend $100,000 and that's 10 uses on this land.
[57:17] It could be a million to get their commercial business before they even have zoning.
[57:22] So this is not normal in the city. This happens after the fact.
[57:29] I agree with you, Mayor.
[57:32] Someone spoke early about beating up developers, and we have to be careful how we approach these
[57:41] development proposals. We have to be careful what we ask for as a city. We do have to
[57:47] be careful if, when the information is presented to us that these additional requirements are
[57:56] needed, then we ask for them at that time, but not before.
[58:00] And we have not been presented with anything that substantiates
[58:04] their requirement.
[58:06] Right.
[58:06] And Ms. Tydel, let's you finish up.
[58:08] So again, this is why something less than two acres is not
[58:12] supposed to be a PD, because these are expectations to
[58:15] the PD ordinance.
[58:16] There is a zoning process and a zoning with a PD process.
[58:21] and you did not answer my question as to why is it if all they want is office
[58:28] spaces. Why are we here looking at a PD for land that doesn't meet the PD
[58:34] requirements? She did not. She said that C2 is asking for the
[58:40] variants to have office spaces. She's not answering why they just aren't
[58:45] getting neighborhood commercial because when I asked them at their barbecue
[58:48] Thank you.
[58:48] They said it was city staff that encouraged them to go for the PD when they could have
[58:54] just gone neighborhood commercial regular zoning the whole time.
[58:59] So I was not present at that meeting.
[59:03] So I can't speak to it, but I can as a planner extrapolate what my planners must have been
[59:10] looking at.
[59:11] If they wanted a state firm office, there was already a PD that had C2 zoning, so instead
[59:19] of giving them straight C2 zoning, they probably thought, okay, that one at least gets rid
[59:26] of a few bad uses.
[59:28] You can just expand it instead of having a PD-46 and then a C2 use.
[59:33] The reason they have to go for C2 use is C2 is the zoning that allows office uses.
[59:41] neighborhood commercial does not allow office professional use and so that's
[59:48] why staff probably thought that it was easy to just expand the PD-46 that was
[59:54] already there. Now I totally agree even two acres as a
[1:00:00] Planar, my recommendation in the future is going to be we don't do a PD for anything less than five acres, unless they're coming up with a really cool concept that's so different.
[1:00:11] But we can only do that once our ordinances are clear and clean and help people.
[1:00:19] Till then we are patching up. We're using band-aids after a surgery.
[1:00:27] and and like like I said I've been here six months please give me another six
[1:00:34] months or eight months and we will get this going straight but until then we
[1:00:40] have to take care of everyone so miss Washington
[1:00:48] yeah I was just gonna thank
[1:00:50] you shy for for all the things that you've done since you've been here no
[1:00:54] you've been here a short time had a lot of things to pull together in clean
[1:00:58] up. And the other thing I was going to mention, I agree with you, Mayor Escobar, that we have
[1:01:02] to really, really be careful of how we beat developers up, you know, because nobody's
[1:01:09] going to spend those kind of funds up front, right? If I don't have the zoning. But the
[1:01:13] other thing is we have to trust that our staff will do what they are supposed to
[1:01:18] do. And if they don't, then that's another conversation. But at some point,
[1:01:22] we have to allow our staff to enforce what we have in place.
[1:01:26] So
[1:01:28] there is and then, Mr. Kevin, do we have to open up another public hearing for this
[1:01:35] as well?
[1:01:36] But since it's a continuation, we had the public hearing in the last meeting.
[1:01:39] No, no, no, we didn't, I'm sorry, we opened it and it's still open.
[1:01:42] So at this time, I'm going to open up the public hearing at 7.37.
[1:01:48] And I don't believe we got any requests for public hearing prior to the meeting.
[1:01:57] It needs to be in prior to the meeting.
[1:02:01] and I don't have any requests prior.
[1:02:03] It's what our ordinance says.
[1:02:05] And while we're adopting resolutions for
[1:02:21] you,
[1:02:22] I'm just there.
[1:02:24] About 50 emails, I think.
[1:02:26] Yeah, they came in today,
[1:02:28] and they have to be two days before the meeting
[1:02:30] for those requests.
[1:02:32] When was that?
[1:02:33] Here you go.
[1:02:34] Okay.

[1:05:01] motion
[1:05:08] passes 6-0 congratulations alright
[1:05:14] this will take us to item K our
[1:05:15] a regular agenda starting with the first item that was pulled from consecutive, which would
[1:05:21] be item G3.
[1:05:28] G3, consider a final plat for cross mail lot 58x block A for Benchbox Middle School and
[1:05:39] take appropriate action.
[1:05:40] Mrs. Roos.
[1:05:45] Good evening, Mayor and members of the council.
[1:05:48] This is a final plat for Benchbox.
[1:05:51] it was preliminary platted as a part of the cross mill subdivision. Can we get
[1:06:00] the staff report up?
[1:06:06] The way the subdivision is there's Brookside running
[1:06:11] through the middle of it with schools on either side at one end and the cross
[1:06:16] mill subdivisions around it and so phase one is what they're wanting to do
[1:06:23] but both the schools, sorry, G3 is Bunch Park Middle School is to the north of Brookside.
[1:06:31] The reason we're not accepting infrastructure is because the infrastructure doesn't come
[1:06:38] with it.
[1:06:39] So right now, the two schools and that Brookside Boulevard is inside city limits.
[1:06:48] Everything else is outside city limits in that subdivision.
[1:06:52] And so that's why because they're in site city limits, we control that giving them certificate of occupancy if the roadway is not fully done.
[1:07:03] It has all been, it's built, it's just not, it still has a few things left to be fixed, which is why the fire engine can get there while they're under construction.
[1:07:19] The fire engine can get there.
[1:07:21] the road is there, so that's why we're recommending approval of that final
[1:07:25] plan.
[1:07:28] It's just one thing to get done before the kids have to start school and
[1:07:33] it's just faster. And then any questions about that?
[1:07:43] There's no questions. I'm
[1:07:44] entertaining motion at this time.
[1:07:49] This is
[1:07:54] one within city limits, so I will
[1:07:56] motion to approve the final plat not infrastructure I second mr. Gris second
[1:08:07] motion
[1:08:12] pass well I'm sorry I'm missing a vote I
[1:08:35] can we re-vote I'm guessing yet
[1:08:37] can we re-vote can you open it back up please I
[1:08:50] motion passes five with one
[1:08:51] abstain this would take us to item G for miss Cook consider our final plat for
[1:08:57] cross mail hot 27x block one for Joyce Carroll elementary school and take
[1:09:01] appropriate action.
[1:09:05] This is the exact same thing right across from Brookside is
[1:09:10] Joyce Carroll Elementary School and again it's in the city limits the road goes
[1:09:17] through in the middle of the two middle school and the elementary school so
[1:09:21] there is no infrastructure with this plat either.
[1:09:32] I
[1:09:35] motion to approve the
[1:09:36] final plot without the infrastructure. Second. Ms. David,
[1:09:41] agree second. Go to vote.
[1:09:48] All right, motion passes five one.
[1:09:49] We won't understand.
[1:09:52] So take us to item G five. This is the
[1:09:54] item that we're being hacked to table until May 11.
[1:10:04] Yeah, G
[1:10:04] five. Yeah, I'll make that motion to table item G five to
[1:10:09] the May 11 meeting.
[1:10:13] Second. Ms. David, agree second.
[1:10:19] Motion
[1:10:20] Passes 6-0, so take us to item G6.
[1:10:23] Ms. Cook.
[1:10:24] Consider a final plot for whitewing trails phase 4A1
[1:10:28] and take appropriate action.
[1:10:35] This plot is a final plot for that one phase
[1:10:39] without the infrastructure being a part of it.
[1:10:44] Their walk was, they've been approved by staff.
[1:10:49] We will be bringing it next to you.
[1:10:51] They just are not a part of this plan
[1:10:53] because by the time we put this on council agenda,
[1:10:57] there was still the final walk left to do.
[1:11:01] But our engineers have approved it,
[1:11:03] and we will be bringing it separately
[1:11:06] to you, the infrastructure portion.
[1:11:08] This is just the final plaque portion.
[1:11:11] But
[1:11:16] is it the true thing that's helping Mike?
[1:11:19] Okay, for clarification, you said that they still have
[1:11:22] to do a final walk.
[1:11:24] When we wrote the report, we do this
[1:11:29] three weeks before it comes to you so they they had the walk after that but
[1:11:35] since then they have been approved.
[1:11:40] So we're writing reports that we recommend
[1:11:46] something before we get reports clarifying that it's gone through. So
[1:11:53] that's why it's not a part of it because we didn't want to recommend
[1:11:57] and something when we didn't have the final answer.
[1:12:02] So that's why it's only the final plot.
[1:12:04] The infrastructure we'll bring next time.
[1:12:09] Okay.
[1:12:11] So this is G6.
[1:12:12] I'll motion to approve item G6 for the final plot
[1:12:15] and not the infrastructure.
[1:12:17] I'll second.
[1:12:19] I'm Mr. Washington second.
[1:12:25] I motion passes 6-0.
[1:12:27] Let's just take this item G7 Ms. Cook.
[1:12:31] Consider a final plot.
[1:12:33] Whitewing trails phase 3e and take appropriate action this flat is again
[1:12:39] the same case where at this point yes the infrastructure has been approved but
[1:12:46] it wasn't in the but the final plat is good they've met all our requirements so
[1:12:53] we brought it forward as for approval how
[1:13:00] much an approved item g7 for the
[1:13:02] final plat and not infrastructure.
[1:13:05] I'll second.
[1:13:08] I have Mr. Washington to second.
[1:13:11] Motion passes 6-0.
[1:13:12] Let's take item G8 Ms. Cook.
[1:13:14] Consider a final plat for Eastridge phase 8 and take appropriate action Ms. Roos.
[1:13:21] This one is a different subdivision Eastridge it's phase 8 you all have seen other phases
[1:13:27] and again this is just the final plat.
[1:13:29] it does not include infrastructure.
[1:13:34] If no questions, I move to approve item G8, 2026, 092, as presented.
[1:13:50] Clarifying presented as presented without infrastructure.
[1:13:53] As presented.
[1:13:55] Then I'll second.
[1:14:01] Yes, I missed out a second, sorry.
[1:14:09] That's a 6-0.
[1:14:12] This would take us to our regular items.
[1:14:16] The first item would be K-1.
[1:14:17] Ms. Cook.
[1:14:18] consider the reappointment of Larry Thompson to the North Texas Municipal
[1:14:22] Water District Board and take appropriate action.
[1:14:35] Your Honor I make a motion to
[1:14:36] approve item K-1-2025-086 the reappointment of Larry Thompson.
[1:14:43] I'll second that.
[1:14:45] Mr. Washington second.
[1:14:51] Motion passes 6-0. Thank you.
[1:14:56] Let's take as item K-2 as
[1:14:58] That's good.
[1:15:00] Consider resolution 2026-0427-R06, authorizing an application for a grant from the Motor Vehicle
[1:15:08] Crime Prevention Authority Grant Program and take appropriate action.
[1:15:15] Good evening, Mayor and Council. My name is Jordan Hoakes. I'm a detective here for the
[1:15:18] Princeton Police Department. I'm here tonight to request approval to move forward with
[1:15:22] the MVCPA grant. This grant would allow the Princeton Police Department to expand
[1:15:26] our equipment and our resources to further combat motor vehicle-related crimes. We do
[1:15:32] We have a PowerPoint presentation as well.
[1:15:49] It was on the,
[1:15:59] maybe I shouldn't upload it.
[1:16:00] All right, well you get to hear me instead.
[1:16:02] We had a PowerPoint for you, I worked very hard on it.
[1:16:06] So the MVCPA grant is a state-wide partnership
[1:16:11] focused on reducing vehicle theft
[1:16:13] in regular motor vehicles.
[1:16:15] It is a concoction of a bunch of local agencies,
[1:16:19] attorneys, state agencies, and task forces
[1:16:22] that have come together to try to combat motor vehicle thefts.
[1:16:27] They put together a fund that helps local agencies get equipment that can lower these crimes.
[1:16:39] Through this grant, we will be seeking continued funding for six-block cameras that were approved last year.
[1:16:45] On top of that, we'll be seeking six-block cameras, including a live-camera, live-beat-pole camera
[1:16:50] that will be used in high-activity areas.
[1:16:52] We also will be requesting mobile vehicle trackers, a vehicle lease program, and the
[1:16:58] PennSitual salary and benefits reimbursement for the detectives that currently handles
[1:17:02] all of our regular motor vehicle crimes, or all of our vehicle related crimes.
[1:17:08] Costs, this grant is a 20% cash match from the city, so the grant takes care of 80%
[1:17:16] of it.
[1:17:17] It's a reimbursement grant, so we pay the money up front for the equipment,
[1:17:23] we'll
[1:17:23] refund us for the money. The total amount that we are requesting is $230,825.54. The
[1:17:34] 20% cash match value of that is $46,165.11.
[1:17:42] The piece of equipment that we buy is piece
[1:17:47] by piece. It's not $230,000 right up front. We buy it as we go and then it's a quarter
[1:17:53] the reimbursement so we can space out the purchases how we see fit and get it in a way that makes
[1:17:58] sense for the city financially.
[1:18:02] Benefits of this grant. It begins at FY 27. The process
[1:18:08] is extremely straightforward. Like I said, we just submit for the grant if we're approved
[1:18:13] and we purchase whatever items we see, send it over to them and they send us the quarterly
[1:18:18] reimbursements. The main benefit is that all of the equipment that we're using is
[1:18:23] extremely valuable. We've seen it being used. We have been using the block
[1:18:28] cameras, the block camera system that we got approved last year and it's helped
[1:18:32] us solve cases very quickly, way faster than it would have before him. I had a
[1:18:41] good slide about a very specific case, but back in March of 26, another city
[1:18:46] had a string of burglar motor vehicles where between eight to twelve
[1:18:50] citizens were impacted, one of which was a peace officer in which his gear
[1:18:55] was actually taken. Using the flock vehicle identification system, not the license plate
[1:19:01] readers, but just identifying the vehicle based off a description, we were able to find
[1:19:06] that vehicle, figure out where it was staying, and eventually take the two people that were
[1:19:11] responsible into custody and recover some of the gear. These suspects were using face
[1:19:20] masks, gloves, and they were switching the license plates on their vehicle, so every
[1:19:24] day we would rerun that car and have a new license plate and be in a new part of the
[1:19:28] city that if we didn't have flock, I won't say we wouldn't have solved the case, but
[1:19:34] it was a instrument, a critical instrument, and I was finding those suspects and taking
[1:19:37] them to jail.
[1:19:44] She said to be louder. Sorry.
[1:19:52] One part that I would like to retouch on
[1:19:53] is the salary and benefits reimbursement. I think it plays a crucial part into
[1:19:58] the price of it all. It's not asking for a new detective to come work for us.
[1:20:02] the current detective that the city currently pays for, we can submit for their salary and
[1:20:07] benefits to be reimbursed. So out of that $230,000, a hefty chunk of that over 50% is money that
[1:20:13] we already spend that we could send back and get 80% of that back for the crimes that we already
[1:20:17] investigate.
[1:20:23] In closing, this grant gives the city an opportunity to expand proven
[1:20:27] investigation tools at a fraction of the normal cost. It supports crime prevention,
[1:20:32] helps solve cases more efficiently, and reduces the financial burden on the city
[1:20:35] or equipment that we're already going to request.
[1:20:41] I respectfully request the council's approval
[1:20:42] to move forward with this grant and application,
[1:20:45] grant application and a required 20% cash match.
[1:20:49] Any questions?
[1:20:52] No, I know a few of your cases that were solved
[1:20:55] using Flock and I'm a fan.
[1:20:57] I know a lot of people with the night
[1:20:58] that's probably not a good thing to say out loud.
[1:21:01] But when it comes down to safety
[1:21:04] and it comes down to solving some of the cases,
[1:21:07] murder cases and things like that,
[1:21:08] This has been an extreme help for you guys to get cases in and out.
[1:21:14] So while I know people are concerned with the privacy aspects of it,
[1:21:20] I think that if it was their loved one and we was trying to search for them
[1:21:23] and this was the tool that we used to find them that they would see their use in this,
[1:21:27] I support this 100%.
[1:21:33] Well, it's going to be a very good program.
[1:21:35] I think it's great.
[1:21:36] It's in the areas I think the county uses some of those in parts of the county right now
[1:21:42] But as far as the matching grant, I just need to ask the alternate city manager
[1:21:46] There's the police department have funds for the alternate. I mean for the
[1:21:51] matching funds
[1:21:53] So in their budget
[1:21:56] So at this point in time, we're asking for approval to go after the grant and so once that grant is approved
[1:22:02] We have worked out with finance to where we will go and we will try to figure out where those funds are actually going to come from
[1:22:08] This 230,000 all that is not promised one bit
[1:22:12] So we're seeking for approval to go after the 230,000 once we get that if we get all the 230,000
[1:22:18] We have been in touch with Kelly or finance once that comes in and then we will end up going find the money
[1:22:23] But yes in short term we have on the PD side we have
[1:22:29] We're watching our budget very closely.
[1:22:31] I know we do have some salary savings
[1:22:32] and all that stuff within there too as well,
[1:22:34] so that money is there.
[1:22:36] Yeah,
[1:22:41] so I was gonna say,
[1:22:44] basically what Mayor was speaking on,
[1:22:46] the false positive protocol,
[1:22:48] I think that was the downside to the FLOC program
[1:22:51] is the identifying the false positives.
[1:22:54] But I do think the risk,
[1:22:56] the reward outweighs the risk in terms of that.
[1:23:00] And I know that there is ordinances
[1:23:01] And there are protocols built around those.
[1:23:03] And we have liability for some of those false positives built
[1:23:08] into our ordinances as well.
[1:23:10] But I agree.
[1:23:12] I mean, with the recent cases, the woman,
[1:23:16] she actually stayed two streets, one block over behind me.
[1:23:19] And I followed that case close.
[1:23:22] And you guys were, I mean, without this program,
[1:23:24] I don't see how that could have went any better.
[1:23:28] So yeah, I'm in support of it.
[1:23:30] and I pray you guys get that grant.
[1:23:33] I miss Grace.
[1:23:34] Would it be possible if they do not get all the money
[1:23:37] for the city to provide the rest?
[1:23:41] What they did not get from grant funding?
[1:23:44] That's what, I mean, we're going into our budget season now.
[1:23:47] So that's something that we can,
[1:23:48] that we have numbers, we can budget for it.
[1:23:51] So as we get into the budget season next month,
[1:23:54] I'm not sure how fast you guys can turn this around
[1:23:56] and get us numbers, but if we have to budget,
[1:23:58] we can always budget as an account council.
[1:24:02] Your Honor, at this time I make a motion to approve item K2, 2026.0426 orals 6, the resolution
[1:24:10] authorizes an application for the grant.
[1:24:14] Ms. David Gray, second?
[1:24:14] Second.
[1:24:25] Ms. David Gray, you vote.
[1:24:27] All right, motion passes, 6-0.
[1:24:29] Thank you.
[1:24:30] Thank you.
[1:24:30] Thank you very much.
[1:24:31] Thank you.
[1:24:32] So take it to item K3.
[1:24:33] Ms. Cook.
[1:24:34] Okay,
[1:24:38] three, consider resolution number 2026, 0427R01, authorizing White Wing Trails Public
[1:24:48] Improvement District number two, Improvement Areas 3A through 3C, and take appropriate
[1:24:54] action.
[1:24:55] Hello
[1:24:58] there, Council Members.
[1:25:00] I'm here on behalf of a developer, I'm a developer's counsel for the PID bonds.
[1:25:04] They've asked me to do just a quick presentation for you on this next step that we're
[1:25:08] approving. As you'll recall, can you go to the next slide please?
[1:25:15] How do I do that? Sorry.
[1:25:21] On April 13th, the council approved the issuance of the PID bonds and an indenture of trust
[1:25:27] which is an agreement where you appoint a trustee to handle the funds that are raised
[1:25:31] through the PID assessments and disperse those through the sale bonds that are then dispersed
[1:25:36] to the developer when they complete the construction of the improvements. What this
[1:25:41] This next step is, it's an agreement that's contemplated by that document.
[1:25:45] It's called the construction funding and acquisition agreement.
[1:25:47] That agreement that you're approving tonight actually details the mechanism by which the
[1:25:51] trustee and the developer agree to go through that submission and draw process and to allow
[1:25:56] the city to accept all the public infrastructure and confirm that those dollars have been
[1:26:01] spent in the appropriate manner under the PID Statue.
[1:26:04] So what we're asking for tonight is that you approve the mayor, you approve a
[1:26:09] resolution that allows the mayor to execute the construction funding and
[1:26:12] acquisition agreement so that we can move forward with the closing of the sale of
[1:26:16] the PID bonds. Thank you. I'm here to answer any questions.
[1:26:22] You can turn up your mic. Sorry. Thank you.
[1:26:25] So
[1:26:32] we have an interim city manager that we've just approved tonight. The mayor
[1:26:39] we don't this is not a role or that the mayor would be given to execute
[1:26:45] something like that that is always been given to the city manager or interim
[1:26:50] city manager so I would be far more comfortable adjusting this to follow suit
[1:26:56] as how we've done things in the past and it would be our interim city manager
[1:27:01] who would be executing this not the mayor.
[1:27:09] Yeah I would refer to Kevin on that
[1:27:11] I'm not sure.
[1:27:19] Well the question I would have is there's the trust and
[1:27:22] the legislature designate the mayor as the one that has to sign, or it be the chief executive
[1:27:29] officer of the city, or city manager. I mean, again, I've been here all of two weeks as
[1:27:35] city attorneys, so I've read none of the bond documents, so I don't know. But typically
[1:27:41] it would be the city manager, but many times, I mean, things like the bond forms,
[1:27:45] things like that would be the mayor but so it's not a new document similar this would
[1:27:51] be fine I mean that doesn't matter me one or the other
[1:27:58] Kevin yeah yeah it's the
[1:28:01] mic's not syncing right but you can turn off your mic and so he can speak yeah
[1:28:06] I am not I don't recall the exact language in the indenture at this moment
[1:28:10] but I'm I agree that normally it is the city manager I believe we required the
[1:28:15] mayor at this because we didn't know whether there was a city manager or not
[1:28:18] at the point in time we were doing this agenda item.
[1:28:21] So I think we're fine with having this interim manager
[1:28:24] or the regular chief executive execute the document
[1:28:27] as long as it's effective and as long as the council
[1:28:29] is given whoever the proper authority
[1:28:31] to execute the document we should be okay.
[1:28:36] Okay, we didn't find out until just before the meeting
[1:28:40] that we didn't have a city manager anymore.
[1:28:42] So it's interesting that this was preset in that manner.
[1:28:48] With that aside, I would motion to approve with the authorization going to our interim city manager and not the mayor.
[1:28:58] I'll second that.
[1:29:00] Mr. Washington, second.
[1:29:09] Motion passes, 6-0.
[1:29:12] Thank you.
[1:29:13] This takes a K-4, Ms. Cook.
[1:29:14] Consider
[1:29:20] Resolution 2026-0427-R04 authorizing the purchase of furniture, fixtures, and equipment
[1:29:27] for the Parks and Recreation Administrative and Maintenance Building from funds approved
[1:29:32] by Resolution 2025-0428-R02 and take appropriate action.
[1:29:38] Mr. Bryant.
[1:29:39] Council,
[1:29:44] this right here is a kind of a follow-up from the previous resolution
[1:29:49] of 20-25-04-28-RO2 authorized 630,000 for FF&E.
[1:30:00] Creation building. This is kind of one of the first phases coming out of that 6.30. And what
[1:30:10] we have is some of the infrastructure, the cabling, audio, video, securities, and furniture.
[1:30:19] The lead time on the furniture is roughly 12 to 14 weeks. So we want to make sure that
[1:30:25] that we get that ordered properly and is delivered on time.
[1:30:31] This was presented to the Parks and Rec Board
[1:30:35] and voted unanimously for approval.
[1:30:40] If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer.
[1:30:42] If there's no questions, I entertain a motion at this time.
[1:30:45] Your Honor, I'll make that motion to approve item K-4.
[1:30:49] Now, second.
[1:30:51] Is the deaf and blind second?
[1:31:00] Motion passes, this is 6-1.
[1:31:01] I'm sorry, 5-1 to
[1:31:05] take it to item K-5 on this item. I'm going to access to table this to the next meeting so
[1:31:12] The the new law firm can have time to review the proposal that make their recommendations
[1:31:18] Yeah, I'll make that motion to table item K-5 to the May 11th meeting. I'll second
[1:31:27] All right, miss it. Miss it. I'm walking second motion passes six zero
[1:31:33] It's to take us to item K-6
[1:31:37] Discussion and review of the Princeton Town Center including an update and
[1:31:41] associated incentive agreement. Tonight we have the developer here and then we
[1:31:46] also have Mrs. Roos, Director of Development Services.
[1:31:50] Mayor
[1:31:55] and council members, I'm happy to give you a good update. Everything's
[1:32:00] approved from staff perspective. They've met all our regulations where we've
[1:32:07] approve the permits, we are waiting for TextDOT.
[1:32:11] So they cannot do anything until they get
[1:32:14] TextDOT permission.
[1:32:16] I just spoke with the engineer,
[1:32:18] TextDOT was, they've submitted everything to TextDOT.
[1:32:21] They've gone back and forth, staff has kept an eye on it.
[1:32:24] They've been meeting the comments from TextDOT.
[1:32:29] But TextDOT today was in an internal meeting.
[1:32:32] Their issue is, should they give the permit now
[1:32:35] or not, because should they wait for widening? So they're deciding what their timeline is
[1:32:40] to give the development the permit. So that's all that's left from a development
[1:32:45] standpoint.
[1:32:47] Ms. Hyde?
[1:32:48] Does this mean that you can fill my PIR from a month ago asking for the engineer's notes
[1:32:54] on Town Center?
[1:32:58] Yes. As soon as I get some time, I promise I will go in there and send it. I do
[1:33:04] have that request on my desk and I will fill it in.
[1:33:09] Thank you.
[1:33:12] I think that was the only update that we were trying to get, so I'm not sure if you have
[1:33:16] anything you want to say, if not, then we can move on.
[1:33:24] Sure, yeah, come on.
[1:33:35] If you can turn to your mic, let's have a talk. Thank you.
[1:33:37] There we go, sorry. We did talk to Home Depot today. They're getting ready to get started.
[1:33:42] Again, we have to have all the permits to be able to do things.
[1:33:46] things.
[1:33:48] Kroger's ready. We are ready. It's, I will tell you, the financing market since
[1:33:56] Venezuela and Iran has been a little weird. We have our financing in bank loan. It's just
[1:34:04] everybody's being really careful and the tariffs are kind of starting to hit, so we're
[1:34:08] seeing increases on prices and so every time we get a revision on documents, we have
[1:34:15] to go back out and reprice it. I'm sure you guys are seeing that on your stuff too, but
[1:34:20] bear with us. We're pretty close. The way the site is being developed is when Home Depot
[1:34:26] starts, they dig the pond and that material goes to where Kroger's at. There's 120,000
[1:34:33] cubic yards of material that has to be moved. It's a mountain of dirt that surprisingly
[1:34:38] comes off where Home Depot's at and it's moved over to where Kroger's at. It has
[1:34:43] to be put in lifts. It then has to be certified and we then build their building pad. My piece
[1:34:48] over here to this side basically is the last. It's just I don't have as much to do. You
[1:34:53] know, all the Hobby Lobby, TJ Home Goods, Petsmart, we've signed that. We're 94% least.
[1:35:02] We're just unready, but we've got to get everything done the right way to do that.
[1:35:07] You wanted to know about Texas Roadhouse. We think we found a spot for them.
[1:35:12] So I'll send you the new site plan where we just moved all the over a little bit
[1:35:16] and we're doing creating the spot for Texas Roadhouse.
[1:35:20] So I heard what you said and we're trying to bring them back in.
[1:35:24] I appreciate you. Thank you.
[1:35:28] And if you have any other questions, Danielle's a lot smarter than I am.
[1:35:32] She's been working on that.
[1:35:33] And so I guess at this point we're just waiting for tech tech tech dot to approve their side and you guys and kind of
[1:35:38] Couldn't get that at that time so it went but from what I hear especially weight rising costs is is if they wait for the
[1:35:45] Expansion that means your cost going to go up even more. Yeah, so that was a little that was just news
[1:35:51] We got in the last day or so so we would be back in saying hey
[1:35:56] What if we did this can we go ahead and get going one of the conversations with Home Depot today was how do we get
[1:36:02] in the site, well you've got two curb cuts and those can't go away by law until they
[1:36:08] do some things out there and then it gets done and opened up right away.
[1:36:12] So there is a process in which we have to go through to get every thing done to start
[1:36:20] and then not have to stop.
[1:36:22] Is there anything we can do on the city side with this?
[1:36:25] With text.org?
[1:36:26] Mayor, actually you guys have done great.
[1:36:27] Yeah, it's it look it's been slower than we like but there's been a lot to do miss Todd was was correct
[1:36:34] We did the drainage we went back. We got it right. I think everything's you know should be in a hundred percent there
[1:36:41] We've we've tried to we've tried to answer everything that popped up
[1:36:47] It's like playing whack-a-mole that kids game, but we've done that and I think we have you satisfied on the drainage
[1:36:54] I think when you see the notes you'll be pleased so
[1:36:58] We did the letter with the neighbors, so they know that when we close, we're going to give them some money for just aggravation purposes.
[1:37:06] So, I mean, I think we're good.
[1:37:09] Yeah, I think that we just wanted an update just from Council so we can make sure that the public knows because they're asking every day.
[1:37:17] I understand. All of our projects have been slowed just because of stuff right now.
[1:37:22] It's just a time where all, when you're asking investors to write a large check like that,
[1:37:28] they're being very careful.
[1:37:31] We submitted our building plans, now they want the building plans approved.
[1:37:36] So it's just big money, ask big questions, and they get what they want.
[1:37:41] So that's where we are.
[1:37:43] You're welcome, any of you to call me anytime you want, update an info.
[1:37:46] That works.
[1:37:47] All right.
[1:37:47] Thank you.
[1:37:47] Thank you.
[1:37:48] if anybody in the council have anything else?
[1:37:51] Sorry, Ms. Todd had one more comment to make to you, sorry.
[1:37:59] I just wanted to thank you for coming tonight
[1:38:02] to set the record straight,
[1:38:03] because I know there was some misinformation
[1:38:04] about why your project was delayed and by whom,
[1:38:08] and so I appreciate that you came up here
[1:38:11] to clear the air and let everyone know,
[1:38:13] just going through the process and getting things approved.
[1:38:16] So thank you for that.
[1:38:17] You guys have been great to work with, thank you.
[1:38:20] We're very blessed and grateful.
[1:38:22] Thank you.
[1:38:23] Thank you.
[1:38:25] This will move us to item K7, consider approving a request for items to be placed on a future
[1:38:31] agenda and not for discussion of these requests.
[1:38:34] And I want to have on the future agenda because, and I know there's a few people
[1:38:39] who ask for a vendor market, so I want to make sure that we have that on the future
[1:38:42] agenda.
[1:38:44] just to speak about it and have Ms. Crystal Goulson back as well.
[1:38:52] Ms. Todd?
[1:38:54] The bond deadline is coming for the library.
[1:38:58] I understand that there may
[1:39:04] have been the possibility of a walking quorum that was created,
[1:39:09] which is why this has not been discussed.
[1:39:12] So my, for transparency and full communication with the residents, I'm asking that this be put back on the agenda.
[1:39:20] And the inspection report shared with all members of council.
[1:39:24] Are you for a bond? I'm sorry.
[1:39:27] To discuss the bond for the library.
[1:39:29] Okay.
[1:39:33] Ms. Todd, are we talking about the agenda item? I present it. Sorry, I can't see you.
[1:39:38] In the fall for the renovation for the one million.
[1:39:41] And we're yet to discuss the bond,
[1:39:43] because I know the timeline for that's coming up.
[1:39:47] We have to make a decision.
[1:39:50] But for full transparency for the public
[1:39:53] and for everyone up here on council,
[1:39:55] the inspection report that staff did on their own last April,
[1:40:01] April 1st, I believe, of 2025,
[1:40:03] I would like that to be shared with all of council
[1:40:06] So they can see what that report shared and had.
[1:40:13] So we can make, we'll make in our decision for the bond.
[1:40:16] We can take that into account.
[1:40:18] Okay. I'll have to reach out to the two people that were applied to the RFQ
[1:40:22] because the time, the proposals might be out of date.
[1:40:26] So can I send an email?
[1:40:27] Yeah, we can send an email.
[1:40:30] And then, is there anybody else in the council?
[1:40:34] I would like to propose, it was recommended earlier, that we designate May 7th as the Day
[1:40:42] of Prayer for Princeton to coincide with the National Day of Prayer.
[1:40:49] No.
[1:40:51] No.
[1:40:51] So with the National Day of Prayer, the proclamation is going to be after the next meeting, but
[1:40:57] I would like that as well to, yeah, if we can add that to the next agenda as well.
[1:41:04] Also, I would like the meeting minutes from Monday, December 9th, added to the agenda.
[1:41:11] I found some discrepancies with it, so we just need to correct them and then re-approve
[1:41:16] them.
[1:41:16] That works.
[1:41:17] All right.
[1:41:18] This time, I'll take this item L, the report agenda, present day of purpose, Saturday
