[5:30 P.M. – COUNCIL BRIEFING ROOM] [00:05:57] WITH ME TONIGHT AS WELL, I HAVE THE PRESIDENT OF NORTH TEXAS -- [00:05:59] >> KILL HELD THEKYLE HELD THE D, FOR THE RECORD. >> SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF OUR OPERATIONS. KYLE IS GOING TO SPEAK TO SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE HAVE COMING UP THIS YEAR AND WE'LL TRY TO BE AS TIMELY AS WE CAN. FEEL FREE ■TOSTOPUS, ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO. HERE IN TEXAS ATLAS ENERGY HAS TWO DIVISIONS AS WELL AS OUR INCIDENT STATE PIPELINE NETWORK. CAROLLTON IS PART OF OUR MID-TEXAS DIVISION SO YOU CAN SEE IN THAT DARK SHADED AREA THAT IS OUR MID-TEXT DIVISION. LAST YEAR WE DID INVEST CLOSE TO $1.6 BILLION IN CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN THIS DIVISION, AS WELL AS ALMOST $12 MILLION IN CHARITABLE GIVING. LITTLE DEEPER DIVE INTO CAROLLTON SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER 29,000 CUSTOMERS HERE IN CAROLLTON, 57 EMPLOYEES SUPPORTING THEM OUT OF THE CAROLLTON OFFICE AND WE MAINTAIN AND OPERATE 397 MILES OF PIPELINE. LAST YEAR WE DID INVEST $5.8 MILLION HERE IN CAROLLTON AND THIS YEAR SO FAR, I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE INVESTED CLOSE TO 150,000 THAT ARE WITH NON- PROFITS. WE PARTNER WITH METROCREST SERVICES, WITH THEIR MOBILE FOOD PANTRY, THEIR SUMMER SA CPAC THAT PROVIDES S SACK PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SACK LUNCHES TO KIDS. WE MADE A DONATION TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SUPPORT -- IT IS THEIR LIFE SAFETY IN EDUCATION INITIATIVES. BUT ALSO THE STORE HOUSE WHICH IS A NEW OR NON- PROFIT HERE IN CAROLLTON AS WELL. OUR VISION IS TO BE THE SAFEST PROVIDER OF NATURAL GAS SERVICES HERE IN TEXAS. WE DO THAT THROUGH A FEW DIFFERENT WAYS. WE ARE DOING OUR PARTS TO REPLACE THE NATION'S NATURAL GAS INFRASTRUCTURE SO, WE DO HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS, ADVANCED MONITORING AND LEAK DETECTION WHICH WILL BE REFERRED TO AS AMLD, SYSTEM PROJECTS AS WELL AS PROTECTION OF OUR PIPELINE SYSTEM AND ASSETS WHICH REALLY IS OUR DAMAGE PREVENTION INITIATIVES. WE DO CONDUCT SURVEYS OF BURIED DISTRIBUTION PIPELINES. WE HAVE 23 OF THESE VEHICLES THAT DO OR NOT OPERATE ACROSS ET STATES AND ONE IS IN EVERY SINGLE STATE. YOU CAN SEE LAST YEAR WE DID ROUGHLY 80,000 MILES THAT WERE SURVEYED, WHICH WAS A 43% INCREASE FROM THE YEAR PRIOR. YOU GUYS WILL SEE THIS MARKETING SERVICES SO I DO HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO KELLY AND HER TEAM HERE AT THE CITY. WE DO SEND OVER WHEN WE ARE CONDUCTING THESE, SO RESIDENTS WILL SEE A MAP OF WHAT AREAS ARE ACTUALLY BEING SURVEYED AS WELL AS JUST A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WHEN IT RUNS MUCH THESE. THESE CARS DO RUN AT LATE EVENINGS, SO A LOT OF IT IS MIDNIGHT TO 5 A.M., THEY COULD BE DRIVING SLOWLY DOWN ALLEYS. SO TRY TO GET THAT MESSAGE OUT. WE HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO KELLY. >> WHAT DO YOU ACONTRIBUTE THE INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR WHY THE INCREASE LIKE THAT? >> I WILL SAY WE HAVE -- SAFETY BEING THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO, FOR US IT'S A GOAL THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE OPERATING OUR SYSTEM AS SAFELY AS WE CAN BE. THE TECHNOLOGY HAS GOTTEN MUCH MORE ADVANCED SO IT'S MADE IT -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY EASIER BUT IT'S MADE IT DEFINITELY EASIER FOR US TO MONITOR AND SURVEY. >> SO DO YOU BELIEVE YOU'LL SUSTAIN THE NEW INCREASE THEN OR IS THIS AN ODD YEAR? [00:10:04] >> YEAH, THAT'S OUR PLAN. LIKE YOU SAID THE NEW TECHNOLOGY HELPS US TO SURVEY MORE, AND IT'S ALSO -- YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND TIMES MORE ACCURATE, MORE SENSITIVE THAT OUR OTHER YOU SAYERS SO IT ALLOWS TO GET MORE SURVEY AND WE PLAN TO CONTINUE THAT. >> SO COULD THIS BE THE REASON WHY WE'RE SEEING MORE OF OUR STREETS TAKEN OVER BY THE ATLAS CRUCIFIXIONING THESE CREWS FIXING THESE LINKS? >> YES, WHEN WE DO CONDUCT THESE SURVEYS, WE EVER INDICATION THAT WE DO PICK UP WE DO INVESTIGATE. KYLE IS ABOUT TO GET INTO SOME OF IT. WE DO HAVE QUITE A BIT OF PROJECTS HERE IN CAROLLTON THIS UPCOMING YEAR SO KYLE WILL GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO SOME OF THE BIG PROJECTS WE HAVE COMING UP. SO CAROLLTON SYSTEM MONITORRIZATION, JUST LIKE THE WATER SYSTEMS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE, THESE SYSTEMS NEED TO BE MODERNIZED OVER TIME WHICH ARE A LOT OF THE PROJECTS KYLE WILL SPEAK TO SHORTLY. WE TRY TO COMMUNICATE AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN WITH RESIDENTS. WE DO DID DOOR TAGS FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS THIS LAST YEAR AND WE DID PUT THE BUSINESS CARD OF THE INDIVIDUAL OVER THAT PROJECT SO THAT IF RESIDENTS DID HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, THEY COULD REACH OUT TO THEM. WE'VE WORKED WITH STAFF VERY CLOSELY, AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED SOME OTHER OPTIONS SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A FEW OTHER OPTIONS FOR SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS THAT WE DO HAVE COMING UP THIS YEAR AS WELL. ONE OF THOSE BEING A. AND WORKING MORE CLOSELY WITH THE CITY AND GIVING DATES AND JUST BEING MORE COLLABORATIVE. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PASS IT OVER TO KYLE NOW. >> I'VE DEPOSIT ABOUT 8 PROJECTS THAT I WILL QUICKLY GO THROUGH BUT CERTAINLY FEEL FREE TO STOP ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I'LL START WITH THE ONE WE SEE OUTSIDE THIS BUILDING. IT'S TO REPLACE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES OF GAS MAIN AT GHOST LANE AND EAST TRINITY MILLS. THIS PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO FINISH EARLY THE FIRST QUARTER OF '27, SO HOPEFULLY SOMETIME IN JANUARY. IT'S ABOUT 70% COMPLETE NOW. THIS NEXT PROJECT IS REPLACE APPROXIMATELY 2.6 MILES OF GAS MAIN AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG VALWOOD PARKWAY, BETWEEN JOSIE AND SOUTH BROADWAY. CONSTRUCTION IS SET TO BEGIN SOMETIME AROUND JANUARY OF '27 AND COMPLETE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. >> SO ARE THESE PROJECTS -- DOES YOUR TEAM ALIGN WITH OUR ROADS TEAMS TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING THIS, SO THAT WE KNOW WHEN TO SCHEDULE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRS? >> ABSOLUTELY. AND QUITE HONESTLY, WE LEARNED A FEW LESSONS FROM THIS PROJECT, AND I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN BETTER. WE'VE HAVING MONTHLY MEETINGS AND I KNOW CLAYTON TALKS TO CITY OFFICIALS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. SO THEY HAVE A STANDING MONTHLY MEETING WHERE THEY GO OVER ALL OF OUR PROJECTS. >> YEAH, I THINK THAT'S BEEN THE KEY BECAUSE AS WE GO FROM -- WE GO IN AND REPLACE ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEN YOU ALL -- IF WE'RE NOT IN SYNCH THEN YOU'RE GOING TO COME UP AND TEAR UP THE ROADS AND SO FORTH. I KNOW SHANNON HICKS, OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER OVER THIS AREA AND YOU ALL HAVE TALKED RECENTLY TO ENSURE THAT IF IT'S NOT COORDINATED AT THE TIME THAT WE'RE DOING IT, THAT IT'S GOING TO BE FIVE YEARS BEFORE YOU'RE GOING TO GO INTO A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE ACTUALLY [INDISCERNIBLE] I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF ALL THAT. >> ALL RIGHT. THIS NEXT PROJECT IS REPLACE APPROXIMATELY 2.4 MILES OF GAS MAIN AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD NORTH. THE LAST ONE NEIGHBORHOOD REPLACEMENT '26 THAT I JUST HAVE ON THE SCREEN. AROUND NEAR CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND IT'S ALSO SET TO BEGIN IN JANUARY OF '27 AND COMPLETE BY THE END OF THE YEAR THIS NEXT PROJECT IS TO COMPLETE SYSTEM CAPACITY FOR UNION TECHNOLOGIES. IT'S TO REPLACE 4,000 [INDISCERNIBLE] OF GAS MAIN ADIPLOMAT DRIVE AND MCDANIEL DIVE AND IT'S ESTIMATED TO START QUARTER 1 OF '27 AND COMPLETE IN QUARTER 2 OF '27 CONTINGENT ON A [00:15:06] COUPLE OF PERMITS WE'RE TRYING TO GET. >> THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED CAPACITY FOR GAS. >> CORRECT. >> THIS IS OUR CAROLLTON HEIGHTS PROJECT. IT'S TO REPLACE [INDISCERNIBLE] DUE TO A CITY PROJECT AND CONSTRUCTION IS STARTED AN ESTIMATED TO COMPLETE LATER THIS YEAR. >> SO THAT WAS COORDINATED WITH OUR STREET REPLACEMENT, DOING THAT ALREADY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? THIS IS CAROLLTON HEIGHTS FACE 5, IT'S TO REPLACE APPROXIMATELY 2600 FEET ALONG EARD STREET AND JACKSON STREET ALSO AS A CITY PROJECTED. IT'S STARTED TO COMPLETED END OF '26 ALSO. THIS IS OUR FRANKFURT ROAD RELOCATION. THE FINAL -- WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE FINAL SCOPE OF THIS ONE, THE RELOCATION PLANS ARE IN DESIGN. AND IT'S DUE TO A CONFLICT WITH THE CITY PROJECT ALSO. AND IT'S SET TO BEGIN JANUARY OF '27. >> SO JANUARY '27 AND IT WILL BASICALLY BE TIMED WITH THE CITY CONSTRUCTION IN THAT SAME SEGMENT? >> THAT'S CORRECT. THIS IS OUR MIDWAY ROAD DECELERATION LANE PROJECTS. IT'S TO RELOCATE APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET OF GAS MAIN TO AVOID THE DECELERATION LANE SOUTHBOUND AT MIDWAY ROAD AND WE'RE SCHEDULED TO START THIS HOPEFULLY IN NOVEMBER. >> SO THESE ARE THE KIND OF -- SOUNDS LIKE THESE ARE ''26-'27 PROJECTS. RIGHT? DO YOU GUYS HAVE A LONGER TERM PLAN THAT YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE PERHAPS ONLINE SOMEWHERE, THAT WE CAN ALL GET ACCESS TO, THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO. >> BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MAJOR PROMPTS ON FRANKFURT -- IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THOSE ARE COORDINATED. I KNOW YOU'RE ALL OVER THAT. >> WE DEFINITELY LEARNED A LOT ON THIS PROJECT AND JUST DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO JONATHAN AND HIS WHOLE TEAM HERE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM AND AS CONCERNS COME UP WITH RESIDENTS AND PROJECTS, WE'RE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CITY STAFF JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT RESIDENTS ARE TAKEN CARE OF AND WE'RE COORDINATING AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN ON EVERYTHING GOING FORWARD. SO -- REAL QUICK, DO JUST WANT TO MENTION, PART OF OUR VISION TO BE THE SAFEST RIDER OF NATURAL GAS IS THAT DAMN PREVENTION ASPECT TO CALLING 811 BEFORE YOU DIG. WE DO A BIG CAMPAIGN DURING APRIL WHICH IS NATIONAL SAFE DRUGGING MONTH AS WELL AS AUGUSD THEN SAFETY AS A PARTNERSHIP. SO FOR US YOU KNOW, COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS HAVING THAT PARTNERSHIP IS IMPORTANT TO US. SO WE DO HOST FIRST RESPONDER TRAINING HERE AT OUR FACILITY ACTUALLY IN PLANO. WE DO INVITE FIRST RESPONDERS TO COME, WE'LL GO THROUGH -- YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE WORKSHOP THINGS WE GO THROUGH UP THERE. SO YEAH, THAT IS -- OH, SORRY, I FORGOT. S LAST THING I ALWAYS LIKE TO THROW IN. THIS WAS MY OWN ADDITION. ONE THING I LIKE TO ALWAYS SHOW IS JUST TO GIVE EVERYBODY AN IDEA OF WHAT'S OWNED AND OPERATED BY AT MASS AS WELL AS WHAT'S OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CUSTOMER. THE LINE IS ACTUALLY OWNED AND OPERATE BY ATMAS ENERGY. BUT FOR METERS SET IN AN ALLEY OR A HOUSE, THAT LINE FROM THE METER TO THE HOME IS THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY. I ALWAYS LIKE TO SHOW THAT BECAUSE WE GET THAT QUESTION QUITE FREQUENTLY. THANK YOU Y'ALL FOR -- >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION. >> HOW DO YOU GUYS GO ABOUT REPLACING OLDER GAS LINES? DO YOU BUT THE THEM ON A SCHEDULE? >> OUR NEIGHBORHOOD REPLACEMENT PROJECT, MANY OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT I JUST WENT THROUGH COME [00:20:03] OUT OF OUR REPLACEMENT MODEL AND THAT'S HOW WE DECIDE AND PRIORITIZE OUR REPLACEMENTS ACROSS OUR SYSTEM, NOT JUST IN THE CITY OF CAROLLTON BUT ACROSS OUR SYSTEMS. >> WELL, WHEN IT'S DETERMINED SOME OF THE -- HOW DO WE GO ABOUT DETERMINING WHAT NEEDS TO BE WITH WHAT -- IS THERE SOME KIND OF A GRADED SYSTEM OR -- >> THAT ALL COMES OUT OF OUR PIPELINE REPLACEMENT MODEL. AND THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT GOES INTO THAT MODEL ABOUT OUR SYSTEM, ABOUT HOW OUR SYSTEM IS PERFORMING, AND THEN WE PRIORITIZE PROJECTS BASED ON THAT INFORMATION THAT LEADS INTO THAT PIPELINE REPLACEMENT MODEL. >> AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE MLD PLAYS A BIG PART AS WELL, BECAUSE THAT SURVEYING DOES CREATE THAT LINK BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, SYSTEM INTEGRITY AND ALLOWS US TO HAVE MORE DATA TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL COMING OUT. >> THANK Y'ALL. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, WE'RE GOING TO ROLL RIGHT INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO FOR OUR GUEST, WE'LL REMAIN IN EXECUTIVE SESSION RIGHT UP UNTIL WE HAVE OUR -- UNTIL WE GO INTO COUNCIL MEETING AND WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO FINISH OUR WORK SESSION AFTER THAT. IN MY EXPECTATION IF WE FINISH EARLY, THEN WE'LL CONTINUE ON PRIOR TO OUR REGULAR MEETING. SO WITH THAT COUNCIL WILL CONVENE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO TEXAS CODE FOR PRIVATE CONSULTATION WITH RELEVANT CITY ATTORNEYS TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO PENDING LITIGATION INCLUDING ALL MATTERS ON THIS AGENDA TO WHICH THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS A DUTY TO THE GOVERNMENTAL BODY UNDER THE TEXAS DISCIPLINELY RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATIONINGS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, SECTION 551.074, TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL MATTERS, SPECIFICALLY BOARDS AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS. >> APPRECIATE EVERYONE BEING HERE FOR OUR OCTOBER 20TH COUNCIL MEETING. BEAR WITH US ONE MORE MOMENT. ONE OF OUR CHEMICAL CHEMS COUNCS RUNNING A FEW MINUTES BEHIND. I WILL NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT COUNCILMEMBER NANCY CLINE IS OUT TONIGHT SO SHE WILL NOT BE WITH US.

WITH THAT, IT TAKES US TO OUR PUBLIC FORUM, THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE ADDRESSING COUNCIL ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. I HAVE THREE CARDS TO SPEAK, I WILL TAKE THESE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. MY FIRST SPEAKER IS MISS MS. SUSANNA DOOLEY. >> THANK YOU, MISTER MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER SPRAYED MY ADDRESS IS ON FILE. WE WILL GIVE YOU SECOND YEAR. >> THANK YOU. OKAY. >> YOU WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES WHEN YOU START SPEAKING. >> I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT WATE SUSTAINABILITY AND THE REASON I WORKED EARNESTLY FOR A YEAR ADVOCATING FOR THE SAFETY OF CARROLLTON TO HAVE A SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM WHICH YO DID AND I THANK YOU. SINCE EARTH DAY, I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH STAFF ON A PROBLEM AREA IN THE JOSIE RANCH POCKET PRAIRIE. THE PROBLEM IS TWOFOLD. NUMBER ONE, SINCE THE CITY HAS BEGUN REGULAR MILLING IN THAT AREA, THE RUNOFF INTO THE BOTTO AND THE EROSION CAUSES DANGEROU MESSES WHERE NOTHING GOOD OR BENEFICIAL GROSS. IN FACT, HARMFUL THINGS ARE GROWING. IT IS NO LONGER SAFE FOR CHILDREN AND CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS. NUMBER TWO, THAT EROSION COMPOUNDS AFTER EACH YEAR IT RAINS, JUST GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. IT'S ACTUALLY TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO LET THE VOLUNTEERS IN THA SECTION. AS STAFF AND I HAVE DISCUSSED [00:55:05] IDEAS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS HOW TO GO FORWARD. WE HAVE THE IDEAS, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHICH DEPARTMENT THIS FALL UNDER, STAFF FROM PARKS SAYS IT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES. STAFF FROM ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES SAYS IT'S PARKS OR THE SAY IT'S STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE OF WHAT. BUT THIS WEEK EUREKA, I SAW YOU VIDEO ABOUT THE WATER CHALLENGE AND THANK YOU. THE POTENTIAL PROJECT FALLS UNDER THE SUSTAINABILITY PROGRA AND THE WHEELING CHALLENGE AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A COLLABORATION OF ALL OF THESE DEPARTMENTS TO MAKE THIS WORK. THE BENEFITS OF A NEW DESIGN APPROXIMATELY 500 SQUARE FEET WILL CAPTURE WATER, THEN USE THAT WATER IN THE NATURE AREA. >> I'M GIVING YOU 30 MORE SECONDS. >> IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING ON THE CITY COUNCIL PAGE IN THE PAPER UP FRONT THAT IT WAS FOR THREE MINUTES AND MY SPEECH IS LISTED FOR THAT. SO I'VE PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS. I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE KEEPIN MY TIME, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTAN TO ME AND I'VE REALLY MADE AN EFFORT FOR THIS. THANK YOU. >> AS I INDICATED WHEN YOU'RE FIRST STARTING SPEAKING, YOU HA TO MINUTES, I HAVE GIVEN YOU 30 MORE SECONDS A YOU MAY FINISH UP . PLEASE PARDON THE INTERRUPTION AND CONTINUE ON. >> CAN I RECLAIM THE TIME THAT I'VE JUST LOST IN ALL OF THIS? >> AND WAITING FOR YOU TO START. YOU HAVE 50 SECONDS, YOU MAY CONTINUE. >> IS SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE WALK THROUGH THIS AREA A WEEK, IT'S A VERY POPULAR AREA AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE COMING. THE JOSIE RENT AS A LEARNING AN TEACHING GARDEN WITH VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTING THOUSANDS OF HOURS VOLUNTEER WISE YEAR AND COME AT THIS NEW PROJECT WOULD ALSO GIV AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCLUDE WATER SAVING, HARVESTING TECHNIQUES, AND LAST YEAR, WE WON FIRST PLACE FOR THE COUNTIES LEARNING GARDENS AREA. ALL OF THIS IS A WONDERFUL REFLECTION ON OUR ENVIRONMENTALISM IN WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MAYOR CHALLENGE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. TO GET MY NEXT SPEAKER IS NICHOLAS ARNELL'S PARENTS THIS IS TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC SAFETY. >> EXCUSE ME. >> YOU MAY HAVE A SEAT. >> EXCUSE ME. CITIZENS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. >> MA'AM, YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED. >> YES I UNDERSTAND THAT. >> IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT THAT WHEN WE TAKE THE TIME AND EFFORT FOR SOMETHING THAT'S VER IMPORTANT TO US, TO COME UP TO SPEAK, WE HAVE THAT. I DID FOLLOW THE RULES AS LISTE ON THE WEBSITE AND WHAT IS LISTED IN THE ATRIUM. BY PERFECTLY TIMED MY SPEECH FO THREE MINUTES ALTHOUGH, THAT WOULD BE WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS. I HAVE NOTICED A DISTURBING PATTERN THAT IT IS MORE AND MOR LIKELY THE LAST SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE COME TO SPEAK THAT YOU DO INTERRUPT ME, WHICH CLUSTERS ME. I DON'T FEEL THAT THAT IS APPROPRIATE AND THERE FOR I AM ASKING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADDRESS WHAT WILL BE THE RULE THAT THE RULE BECOME CONSISTENT AND THAT YOU DO NOT INTERRUPT THE SPEAKERS WHEN THEY ARE HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. MY NEXT SPEAKER IS NICHOLAS OR NELLIS WHICH IS TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC SAFETY. AND YOU WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES ONCE YOU START SPEAKING. >> .OF ORDER, WHY DO I ONLY GET TWO MINUTES WHEN IT SAYS THREE. >> PLEASE CONTINUE. [01:00:03] >> MAYOR, ON THE WEBSITE ON THE SIGN-UP FORM, IT DOESN'T SAY TW MINUTES INSTEAD OF THREE AND WH WAS THAT NOT ADDRESSED PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE PUBLIC FORUM. >> GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE EXTENDED THE OTHER SPEAKER TO THREE MINUTES I WILL ALLOW YOU FOR THREE MINUTES. YOU MAY START. >> GIVEN THE FACT THAT YOU SHOULD DO YOUR JOB. THANK YOU. I AM NICHOLAS RESIDENTS OF CARROLLTON, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE HAVE TO START OFF LIKE THAT. IT'S MY FIRST TIME THAT I HAD T APOLOGIZE TO DO YOU TO DO YOUR JOB. RECENTLY THIS COUNCIL APPROVED MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT CITING A MASSIVE BENEFIT TO PUBLIC SAFETY. THE JUSTIFICATION WAS CLEAR, THESE CAMERAS COLLECT CRITICAL DATA LAW ENFORCEMENT OTHERWISE COULD NOT OBTAIN. WE WERE TOLD TO TRUST THE CARROLLTON POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE USE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY. WHETHER I SUPPORT THAT CONTRACT IS RATHER HERE NOR THERE. HERE TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL CONTRACT. TRUST. I AM HERE TO EXPOSE AS STAGGERING DOUBLE STANDARD WHEN MESSAGES AND WHO PROVIDED EVIDENCE THAT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN REGARDLESS, THAT IS OF A GREATE THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY THAN SOMEONE RUNNING A RED LIGHT WHE THAT PERSON IS CATHOLIC, HOW AR CITIZENS SUPPOSED TO TRUST THEM WITH FLOCK IF THEY DON'T KNOW O WON'T EXECUTE THERE IN THE FULL SCOPE OF JURISDICTION PER THERE IS AN INTENSE MULTI AGENCY GOIN ON RIGHT NOW, ACROSS THE STATE, NOT JUST IN CARROLLTON. THESE NEW ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS FACE AN IMMEDIATE ON TRACKING RIGHT ONTO THE SHOULDERS OF LOCAL MEANNESS WILL POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT INDICATES A SIGNIFICANT VULNERABILITY IN CPD. IF YOU DELETE ME LOOK AT THE MANDATES ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, WE HAVE THE SAFE SCHOOLS INITIATIV THAT'S BEEN ANNOUNCED, THIS IS NOT SOME CONSPIRACY, SOME FARAWAY ISSUE. THIS IS OCCURRING RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW AND GOING OFF SCRIPT JUST BECAUSE YOU KIND OF THREW ME OFF, SO I APOLOGIZE IF I STUTTER A LITTLE BIT. IF WE LOOK AT THE GLORIA RESENDEZ CASE, RIGHT NOW, IT HA BEEN EXTREMELY TRANSPARENT, I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THEY ARRESTED THE TEACHER ON TW COUNTS AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THEY HAVE ADDED MORE COUNTS, THEY'VE DONE THEIR JOB THEY'RE INVESTIGATING, THAT'S AWESOME AND WHAT NEEDS T HAPPEN, THAT MIGHT ONLY BE HALF OF THE PROBLEM. THAT TEACHER COULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED. BY THE PEOPLE AROUND HER. WHO INVESTIGATES THAT? DOES THE TE EIGHT INVESTIGATE THAT OR DOES THE POLICE INVESTIGATE THAT? DOES THE TE EIGHT INVESTIGATE GOVERNMENT RECORD TAMPERING? OR DOES THE POLICE DO THAT? LIKE I SAID, I WENT OFF SCRIPT BECAUSE YOU THREW ME OFF A LITTLE BIT. THAT'S WHAT I EXPERIENCED, I MADE A REPORT, IT WAS DISMISSED AND TOLD THAT THE TE IS HANDLIN IT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. MIGHT SPEAKER. >> YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES AS WE PROVIDED WITH THE PRIOR SPEAKERS. >> HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCI MEMBERS IN PHYLLIS AND CITIZENS OF CARROLLTON.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THAT IS ALL THE CARDS I HAVE FOR TONIGHT, BUT THIS IS PUBLIC FORUM, I WILL INVITE ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL TO APPROACH THE PODIUM NOW. SEEING THEN, COUNCIL, WE WILL B [***WORKSESSION***] WE WILL DISCUSS THE MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND THE CIT OWNED PROPERTY OF THE I 35 AND 35. JUST TO GIVE YOU QUICK BACKGROUND, THE CONDENSED VERSION. >> SURVEY. THE CITY COUNCIL VISION FOR THE SITE WAS TO CREATE AND ESTABLIS A SUSTAINABLE DESTINATION THAT BENEFITS THE CITY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WITH THE INTENTIONS OF PROMOTING HIGH-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND IN THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY. THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND ENTERTAINMENT VENUE. UPSCALE FULL-SERVICE HOTEL, RETAIL USES AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. AS PART OF THE TERM SHEET. THE QUALITY AND VALUE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. IT WAS APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGES, OF COVERAGE BY USE AND TODAY WE WILL BREAK THOSE USES JOHN A LITTLE BIT MORE. 105 SQUARE FEET OF RESORT RELATED SNOW AND NON- SNOW USES INCLUDING FOOD AND BEVERAGE RETAIL, FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AND ADDITIONAL ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITIES. A FULL-SCALE EVENT CENTER FOR A 300 ROOM UPSCALE RESORT HOTEL WITH 120 ROOMS, SECONDARY LIMITED HOTEL. AND ABOUT 260,000 SQUARE FEET O USABLE COMMERCIAL SPACE COMBINED , MIXED-USE AND STANDALONE COMMERCIAL. THEY ARE PROPOSING ONE OR 10,00 OF SHARED OFFICE THIS ALLOCATIO COULD ACCOMMODATE A THIRD HOTEL IF NEEDED. AND ABOUT 48 ACRES OF OPEN CLEA SPACE FOR TRAILS. THE FINAL PROJECT MAY. THESE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AROUND SPECIFIC ASSUMPTIONS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE VIABILITY OF THE DISTRICT RATE IF WE COULD KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FINAL PRODUCT MIX AS WE CONTINUE TO REFINE. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MEREDITH WHO WILL GO OVER THE SPECIAL US DISTRICTS IN I WILL COME BACK A A LATER DATE. >> WHAT IS THE FIRST QUESTION? YOU HEARD A LOT ABOUT MMD'S, TH FIRST THING WE NEED TO FIND OUT IS WHAT IS AN MMD, TO FIGURE THAT OUT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT A SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT IS BECAUSE ALL OF THIS IS THE UMBRELLA UNDER WHICH THE MMD [01:10:04] FALLS. ITS MEANNESS WILL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. ALL OF THESE ARE CREATURES OF STATE LAW. THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO THE LIFFEY TAXES, AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. WHICH IS THAT MEAN FOR YOU? WE DON'T HAVE TO DESIGNATE, WE DON'T HAVE TO CREATE FUNDING. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE THE ONE FUNDING THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. WHICH IS WHAT WE CONSIDER MUD, THEN THAT WOULD BE WITH THEY AR GIVING, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THE PROPOSITION IS HERE BY THE PROPOSITION IS HERE IS MUCH MOR FAR-REACHING. WE LOOK AT WHAT THE POWERS ARE, THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE AND TYPES OF ENTITIES AVAILABLE. THEN THAT ALSO SETS FORTH WHAT THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE IS IN THE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGY . HERE IS SOME OF THE KEY SELECTION CRITERIA. WHAT KIND OF TYPE OF PROJECTS, AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE FAST BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE AVAILABL AND YOU DON'T NEED ME TO READ T YOU WHAT YOU CAN READ PART ONE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS? WHATEVER YOU GOING TO DO. IF THERE'S ALREADY INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE, WE MAY NOT NEED AND MMD, BUT IT DEPEND ON WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING. AND THIS CASE YOU HAVE PROBABLY END. RALEIGH AND IS GENERALLY SERVED BY AND MMD BECAUSE IT'S ABLE TO RAISE MORE MONEY AND ABLE TO LEAD TO THE GOVERNANCE AND THE TAXES THAT THEY IMPOSED ON THE DISTRICT. THOSE TAXES ARE NOT IMPOSED OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT. RATE IT'S MERELY ON THE DISTRICT RATE THE DISTRICT HAS TO BE A PART OF AND ASK FOR THE FUNDING. OF COURSE THE DISTRICT IS ITSELF , THE DEVELOPER, SO THEY WILL ASK THEMSELVES TO FUND IT AND TAX THEMSELVES, PEOPLE WHO BUY IT WILL BE PAYING THE TAXES. EVALUATE WHO WANTS TO BEAR THE COST, YOU WANT THE ENTIRE CITY TO BEAR THE COST OF THIS DEVELOPMENT OR DO YOU WANT THE DISTRICT TO BEAR THE COST OF TH DEVELOPMENT? NOT CREATING AN ADDITIONAL TAX BURDEN ON THE CITIZENS. IS WHAT THE PROPOSAL IS HERE BY REQUESTING. HERE IS A SLIDE MANY OF YOU HAV SEEN BEFORE IT WAS IN THE PRESENTATION. THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT BENEFIT OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISTRICTS. YOU CAN SEE THAT MOST BENEFITS. WE HAVE A TERSE, WE HAVE PAID, AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE MORE LIMITED FUNDING. OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE THEM BU BECAUSE WE PROVIDE OUR OWN WATE ALREADY. THAT TYPE OF ENTITY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE WATER SERVICE IN THE AREA. YOU SAY HOWDY HOWDY YOU HEAR YOURSELF TALK. IT IS STILL OUR WATER SYSTEM PERIODICITY STILL BUILDS, THE CITY STILL MAKES THE REVENUE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS UNDER OUR CCM. WHAT IS IN MMD? IT IS A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION O THE STATE. THE BEST WAY IT'S BEEN DESCRIBE ON DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON DIFFERENT STATES SITES IS M&A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE . IT IS ABOUT MAINTAINING, GETTIN AN OVERACTIVE HOA MAY BE. THEY NEED TO GET APPROVAL THROUGH YOU ALL. WHEN THEY HAVE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY, ONCE THE CITY EXCEPT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY,, THEN YOU HAVE TO APPROVE IT. THEY CANNOT ANNEX LAND INTO THE DISTRICT WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL. WHAT THAT WOULD BEING IS IF THE WANTED TO GO BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE LAND AND GO ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, THEY COULDN'T DO THAT WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE. THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OF EMINENT DOMAIN WHICH MEANS THEY CAN'T GO OUT AND TAKE LAND FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. FOR CITY, BECAUSE THE CITY WILL BE A LAND OWNER, THE CITY MAY HAVE A MEMBER ON THE BOARD. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT METHODS OF FARMING AND MMD, ONE IS GOIN THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE, THAT I THE OPTIMAL WAY OF DOING IT BECAUSE YOU CAN STRUCTURE IT [01:15:02] MORE. YOU CAN HELP DESIGN THE LEGISLATION THEY DRAFT THE LEGISLATION TO ACHIEVE EXACTLY WHAT IT WANTS. IF YOU DON'T GET IT THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE WHICH IS MUCH MORE NARROW, AND HAS VERY CONSTRICTE FORMAL PETITION PLANNERS, ALTHOUGH THINGS ARE SUBMITTED T IT IF IT'S APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE, THEY MAY GO THROUG A FORMAL HEARING PROCESS. ARE A LOT MORE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE LEGISLATURE APPROVES THAT. WITH THE FIRST STEP IN THIS PROCESS IS THE CONSENT RESOLUTION WHERE YOU ALL WOULD CONSIDER ON THE NEXT AGENDA CONSENTING TO THE LEGISLATURE AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF AN MMD WITHIN THE JURISDICTION LIMITS OF THE CITY. THEY CAN'T JUST COME IN AND PUT AN MMD. LOOKING THEY DO. WHEN YOU THINK OF THE ROADS, THEY CAN PUT UP DECORATIONS FOR HOLIDAYS, THEY CAN TO CHRISTMAS MARKET. THEY CAN DO ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS DURING THE YEAR THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO PROGRAM AND THEY DO IT THROUGH THEY'RE OWN FUNDING MECHANISMS. WE PUT DEVELOPMENT RECRUITMENT KIND OF LIKE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S NOT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THEY CAN RECRUIT AND MAINTAIN BUSINESSES AND ATTRACT BUSINESSES IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THEIR DISTRICTS. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> HOW LONG DOES THE MMD LAST AFTER THE LAST PARCEL IS SOLD I THE MASTER DEVELOPERS NO LONGER PARTICIPATE? TO GET THAT WOULD BE GOVERNED B A BOARD OF DIRECTORS. A BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND IT LASTS UNTIL WE WILL GET TO THIS AND THE DISSOLUTION, IT CAN LAS INTERNAL. THERE IS NO TIME AND DATES, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO IS THEY SELL IT OFF, ADDITIONAL ENTITIES CAN BECOME MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. >> THANK YOU. THEY MAY ISSUE BONDS OR LEVY TAXES, THEY ARE REQUIRED ONCE THEY TAKE ON DEBT TO PAY THAT DEBT, SO THEY DO HAVE TO LEVY SOME SORT OF A FUNDING MECHANIS IF THEY TAKE ON DEBT. WITH THE DEVELOPERS MENTION TO YOU IS THERE GOING TO GO OUT AN PAY 37 OR 45 MILLION OR WHATEVE IT IS IN INITIAL INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS SO ONCE THE MMD IS FORMED THAT IS A DEBT OF THE MMD AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ISSUE ATTACK ON BASICALLY THEMSELVES ONCE THEY SELL OFF THE LAND TO PAY THAT BACK. THEY CAN IMPOSE IMPACT FEES, BU NOT WATER OR SEWER BECAUSE WE A A CITY ALREADY HAVE THOSE IMPAC FEES IN THEY CAN'T IMPOSE THOSE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO STRESS THEY DON'T HAVE THE POWERS OF EMINEN DOMAIN THEY WOULD ASK US FOR HELP BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE THEMSELVES. DEVELOPER FRIENDS INFRASTRUCTURE . THAT 70 RECOVER THEIR INVESTMENT-GRADE FEE ISSUE THE BONDS, THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO TA THE RESIDENCE TO PAY THE DEBTS, THAT IS AN ONGOING OBLIGATION THAT THEY HAVE UNDER THE STATE LAW YOU ASKED ABOUT HOW LONG THEY CAN BE AROUND, THEY CAN BE DISSOLVED BY A VOTE AT THE BOARD . THEY CANNOT LEGALLY DISSOLVE IF THEY ODETTE. IF THEY VOTE TO DISSOLVE, THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN AND CONTINUE IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T JUST AS DISSOLVE IN LEAVE YOU WITH THAT. THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY THEIR DEBT. THAT IS WHY IT'S A SUPER MAJORITY, BUT IF THEY HAVE DEBT THIS IS WHAT'S REQUIRED IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM THERE ANYMORE. AGAIN, I'VE KIND OF COMBINED THOSE TWO. I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GE STUCK WITH THE DEBTS. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW SOME OF THE THINGS ABOUT THE AREA, THAT KIND OF FOLDED. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN UNDER THE [01:20:03] STATE LAW FOR THIS. THIS IS JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW O WHAT ALL OF THESE THINGS MEAN. THE CITY CREATES IT BY ORDINANC AFTER A PETITION AND PUBLIC HEARINGS, THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGH TO VOTE, TO VOICE THEIR OPINION OBVIOUSLY AND CAN DO SO. THE GOVERNANCE BOARD IS CREATED UNDER THE LEGISLATION BETWEEN FIVE AND 30 DIRECTORS ARE APPOINTED AND IT IS FUNDED THROUGH SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON THE DISTRICT. THE MANAGEMENT, THE BOARD SETS THE BUDGET, THE BOARD HAS FULL AUTHORITY OF THE BUDGET BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES ISSUING THE DEBTS IN THEY ARE THE ONES THAT CONTINUE TO PAY HAD. IT DOESN'T EXCUSE THE PROPERTY TAXES, ANY TAXES YOU HAVE IN PLACE ARE STILL THERE. AND THE DURATION IS NO SET IN DATE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> ONE OF THE SLIDE SAID THAT M UNDERSTANDING IS WE ARE GOING T SELL ALL THE LAND. WHETHER IT COMES TO FRUITION OR NOT. THE ONE OR 2 ACRES WE SPOKE ABOUT LAST WEEK, THAT WILL BE BOUGHT FROM THE DEVELOPER ONCE IT'S BEEN TAKEN OF THE FLOODPLAIN. >> THANK YOU, MEREDITH. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR THE CITY? OUR GOING TO RECAP WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEK. JUST A REMINDER FOR YOU ALL AND FOR THE AUDIENCE TO SERVE THE 121-ACRE SITE WHICH IS CURRENTL IN THE FLOODPLAIN. WE HAVE DONE THE ENGINEERING STUDY. THE OF DEVELOPABLE LAND GRADE PHASE TO IS EXPECTED TO YIELD ABOUT 60 ACRES OR SO. TOTALING ABOUT 70 ACRES OF DEVELOPMENT. TO SERVE THE 70 ACRES AS MEREDITH MENTIONED, I WANT TO ARTICULATE THE NEED FOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE. I THINK IT WILL PUT THINGS AND PERSPECTIVE WHEN I GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE NUMBERS. WE HAVE ESTIMATED APPROXIMATELY 15,000 FEET OF WATER LAND THAT WILL BE NECESSARY. APPROXIMATELY 4,000 LINEAL FEET OF'S SEWER, STORMWATER, LARGE LARGE AND SMALL PIPES. THEY WILL INCLUDE LINES OF ABOU 6,000 LINEAL FEET IN THEN OF COURSE TELECOM LINES, AND ABOUT 25,000 LINEAL FEET OF PAVEMENT WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE SIDEWALK AND TRAILS. TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, WIT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR THE CITY. I WILL GO THROUGH THIS, NUMBER ONE IS MEREDITH MENTIONED IT WILL REDUCE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE CITY WITHOUT THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENTS OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE WATER , SEWERAGE, DRAINAGE, DELIVERED BY THE PASTOR DEVELOPER TO ALLOW THE CITY TO MANAGE GROWTH IN AN ORGANIZED AND STRATEGIC WAY BY FOR A LARGE-SCALE MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL EXPAND THE TAX BASE. EXPANDING BEYOND THE DISTRICT. WE FEEL THAT IF THIS DEVELOPMEN DID OCCUR, I THINK IT WILL HAVE INTRINSIC VALUE TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A REDUCED OPERATIONAL ON MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENTS BY ALLOWING THEM TO FOCUS ON THE REST OF THE CITY AND THE CITY'S MAINTENANCE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT. I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE SLIDE BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN IT, YOU SAW IT LAST WEEK. BETWEEN THE MASTER DEVELOPER AN THE SPECIAL-PURPOSE DISTRICTS. [01:25:01] REAL QUICKLY, I'M GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF I CAN SQUINT MY EYES AND READ THROUGH THAT BY USING LITTLE CHEAT SHEET HERE. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE ALPINE MASTER DEVELOPER SERVING THIS PROPERTY WILL BE PLANNING AND DESIGNING THE DEVELOPMENT. IT IS THERE AT RISK, THEY WILL BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND AMENITIES GOVERNMENT THE STREET UTILITIES. THEY WILL MARKET AND SELL PARTS OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS PROVED AND THEN CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE THE ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS RESORT WHICH IS WHAT THE ARE COMMITTED TWO. FOR CITIES TEST ON THE OTHER HAND IS TO ESTABLISH THE DISTRICT THROUGH ORDNANCE AND AGREEMENTS THAT MEREDITH TALKED ABOUT, APPOINT A BOARD MEMBER T OVERSEE THE DISTRICT, APPROVED AND REVIEWED THE DISTRICT SERVICE PLAN AND BUDGET AND PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND ENSURE TRANSPARENCY. IN ADDITION, THEY PARTNER WITH ECONOMIC GROWTH AND WITH STAFF TIME IT HELPS STRENGTHEN THE LOCAL ECONOMY. TO THAT POINT, THE SPECIAL-PURPOSE DISTRICT, THE MMD WILL FUND A PROJECT AND SERVICES THROUGH ASSESSMENTS, THE TAX ASSESSMENTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, PLAN PROVED PUBLIC SERVICES. AND THEN PROMOTE THE DISTRICT THAT IS EXPENSES AND THEN PROVIDE REGULAR REPORTING AND FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY BACK TO THE CITY. I LOOK AT TO THE NEXT SLIDE WHICH YOU'VE ALSO SEEN, I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS, BUT I WANT TO BREAK THIS DOWN. THIS IS BASICALLY THIS SLIDE KIND OF GOVERNS THE PLANNING ENTITLEMENT PROCESS AND IT TALK ABOUT THE BUILD AND OPERATION SIDE OF THE OMD. BASICALLY THE SAFETY STRUCTURE WOULD BE TO ESTABLISH THESE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND AGREEMENTS, THE MASTER DEVELOPER WHO IS THE JV FOR THE LAND DEVELOPMENT WILL DEFINE THE DEVELOPMENT VISION AND IMPLEMENT THE PLAN AND THEN THE VERTICAL DEVELOPERS WOULD B RECRUITED BY THAT MASTER DEVELOPER TO EVALUATE THE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE PARTNERSHIP TERMS. IN ADDITION, THE RESORT WHO IS THE MAIN ENTITY WILL PROVIDE TH RESORT, DIVISION, THICK BRANDIN STRATEGY AND THE OPERATIONAL STANDARDS. I CAN GO FURTHER INTO THIS LIGHT , BUT I THINK YOU CAN SEE HOW THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE LAID OUT. IN ADDITION TO THIS I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS LIGHT AGAIN. YOU SAW THE SLIDE LAST WEEK JUS TO KIND OF RECAP SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT THEY WENT THROUGH ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE MIDDLE SECTION I THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY WHICH INCLUDES FIRE PROTECTION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THEN THE GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT WOULD INCLUDE BOARD APPOINTMENTS AGREEMENT AND COMPLIANCE AND DISTRICT COORDINATION. OF COURSE THE REGIONAL PLANNING EFFORTS THAT WOULD GO WITH THAT. KEEP IN MIND, ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENT PROCESS WOULD BE EMBEDDED IN THE CITY, IT WOULD BE THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE APPROVA OF THE SITE PLAN ALL THE WAY TO THE PERMIT AND THAT MAINTENANCE BONDS. AND THEN OF COURSE FIT MUNICIPA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING THE AMENITY ASSESSMENTS, MAINTAIN COMMON AREAS WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT AND INCLUDES THE PARK AND GENERAL LANDSCAPING AND PUBLIC SPACES. DISTRICT SECURITY, MAINTENANCE SERVICES, PROGRAMMING THE EVENT IN PROGRAMMING ANY OF THE EVENT THAT ARE IN PUBLIC SPACE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC AMENITIES AND SO FORTH IN THEN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. I WILL OFFER SOME OPTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL TONIGHT AS MEREDITH HAS INDICATED, WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS I WILL FRAME THIS FOR YOU A LITTLE BIT, SO I MAKES GOOD SENSE, THE FIRST CONSIDERATION IS TO CONSENT TO THE CREATION OF THE MMD OR NOT. IF WE WANT TO CONSENT TO THE MMD , OR WE DON'T WANT TO CONSENT TO IT GREAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONSENT, CANCEL WOULD NEED TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO CREATE TH MMD OR AS MEREDITH POINTED OUT, IF THE LEGISLATION FAILS OR IF WE CHOOSE NOT TO DO THAT PART THE SECOND CONSIDERATION IS TO NAME THE MMD AS DISTRICT 35. I WILL STOP THEIR INTERNET BACK TO YOU. >> AGAIN, I THINK THIS WOULD BE IF WE HAVE SOME CONSENSUS, THIS WOULD BE ON OUR NEXT MEETINGS AGENDA FOR A CONSENT TO CREATE [01:30:02] OR A RESOLUTION TO CREATE, BUT WHAT IS BEYOND THAT? CAN YOU MAY MAYBE MAP THE TIMELINE SO ASSUMING WE GIVE CONSENT HERE, AND IT PASSES ON RESOLUTION AT OUR NEXT MEETING, WHAT IS NEXT? TO KEEP MEREDITH, IF YOU TO JUM IN? >> ONCE THE CONSENT IS GIVEN BY COUNCIL, THEN THE CITY STAFF AN THE DEVELOPER WILL WORK WITH THEIR LEGAL COUNCIL AND THEIR T DEVELOP THE LEGISLATION AND THA WILL BE IN TANDEM WITH MYSELF AND OUR OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNCIL WHO IS OUT ON OUR BOND ATTORNEY ITS ATTORNEY THAT WORKS A LOT WITH MMD'S, SO WE WILL COORDINATE AND MAKE SURE THE LEGISLATION REFLECTS WHAT THE TERM SHEETS AND OTHER DEAL POINTS NECESSARY TO MOVE FORWAR SO WE HAVE THE LEGISLATION FILE FOR THE END OF THE YEAR AND BEFORE THE NEXT SESSION. >> OKAY. AND THEN IN TERMS OF SO THEN IT GOES TO LEGISLATION HIS. WHETHER THEY ASSUMING THEY HAVE PASSED AND THEN WE CONTINUE ON WITH. >> THEN WE MOVE FORWARD WITH TH MDA, AND THAT IS THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE CREATION OF THE MMD BECAUSE THE MMD CANNOT BE CREATED WITHOUT A MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE. THAT IS SETTING FORTH ALL THEY DEAL POINTS THAT YOU HAVE ALL HEARD AND AGREED TO WITH ALL TH CAVEATS AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EVERY THING ELSE THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PROTECTED. AND THEN THAT MASTER DEVELOPMEN AGREEMENT IN THEY MAY HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARINGS IN THEN TO ADOP AN ORDINANCE TO CREATE THE MMD THAT REFLECTS NOT JUST THE LEGISLATION, BUT THE MDA. >> AGAIN, WE WILL HEAR FROM THE COUNCIL, BUT AS THIS COMES BACK TO US, CAN WE JUST PUT KIND OF TIMELINE OF WHAT TO EXPECT? OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE JUST ALTERATIONS TO PROCEED STEPS, W CAN'T DO THIS ON OUR OWN, IT TAKES THE LEGISLATURE, IF THEY DON'T PASS IT, SO QUESTIONS? >> SO THE PROGRESSION FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE SUPPORTING LEGISLATION, THAT IS SPECIFICALLY, REALLY THE FIRST BULLET POINT IS THE FIRST CONSIDERATION, AND THEN IF WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE CONSENT ON THE FIRST CONSIDERATION, WE WOULD CONSIDER WE WOULD RECONSIDER THE SECOND CONSIDERATION. >> YOU COULD. >> OR IS IT MORE IF THE FIRST CONSIDERATION DOES NOT GET SUPPORT FROM THE LEGISLATURE, THEN WE WOULD MOVE TO SO I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS FROM A CONSENSUS STANDPOINT, ARE WE AGREEING ON THAT OR ARE WE TAKING THIS INDIVIDUALLY AND LOOKING AT IT RESPECTIVELY FOR EACH POINT? >> WE ARE GOING TO LOOK TONIGHT FOR A CONSENSUS SO IN OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM OR A NEXT REGULAR MEETING, WE WOULD HAVE A RESOLUTION EFFECTIVELY ADOPTING IT IN PERHAPS. >> AND ROBBIE POINTED OUT TO ME TODAY THAT I PROBABLY COULD HAV DONE THIS BETTER OR IT'S PROBABLY NOT GREAT. HE PHRASED IT VERY NICELY, BUT IT'S NOT A FLOW CHART THE WAY I SHOULD BE. IT SHOULD BE ONE OR THREE, AND THEN IF ONE DOESN'T PASS, THEN TWO OR THREE. >> JUST MAKING SURE THAT IS CLEAR. >> THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION . >> I APOLOGIZE. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR, THAT'S FINE. I UNDERSTAND. TO KEEP MY QUESTION WAS IN REGARDS TO THE SLIDE THAT SAYS WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE CITY IS GOING TO BE. AS FAR AS PROVIDING THE YES, SO HAVE WE DISCUSSED WHAT THAT SCALED COST IS GOING TO BE TO ADD THAT EXTRA AREA FOR FIRE, EMERGENCY, EMS, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT? >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS FIRE CORRECTLY IF I'M WRONG, FIRE BELIEVES THIS WILL FIT IN WITH ONE OF THEIR STATIONS. IS THAT ACCURATE? >> WE HAVE NOT GONE AS FAR AS LOOKING INTO WHETHER OF FIRE STATION IS WARRANTED IN THIS AREA, BUT WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IS THAT IF THE DEVELOPER WHERE TO PUT IN A RESORT OR THE DOME, THEY WOULD EITHER PRIVATIZE SOM OF THE EMS SERVICES, HOSPITAL SERVICES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BASICALLY EVERY FOR TO IT AS A [INDISCERNIBLE] CUT, SO IF YOU HAD A MINOR SCREEN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THEY COULD GO TO AN IN-SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED AFTER WHICH EMS COULD BE CALLED ON. AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T SEE A [01:35:01] SPECIFIC NEED FOR FIRE PROTECTION BASED ON THE PROXIMITY OF THE CURRENT FIRE STATIONS, BUT I MAY BE SPEAKING OUT OF CONTEXT. >> I WOULD JUST DROP TO THE VER LAST BULLET ON THE CITY UPSIDES INCREASED AGAIN, THERE IS NO OBLIGATION IF WE, UNTIL THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSES IT, AN WE FORMED IT AND THEY PASSED IT THERE IS NO INCREMENTAL PUBLIC SAFETY COST THAN WHAT WE HAVE. >> UNTIL IT'S DEVELOPED. >> AND THEN AS IT'S DEVELOPED AND IT COMES OUT OF THE GROUND, WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE PROJECT PLAN, IN HIGH-LEVEL, IT IS GOIN TO HAVE SOME UPSIDE TAX, IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE TAX BASE, IS GOING TO HAVE SALES TAX, SO ALL OF THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY GE BUDGETED OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN TERMS OF WHEN IT ROLLS IN AND HOW IT'S FUNDED AND SO FORTH. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. >> CAN I ADD TO THAT? I MET WITH POLICE AND FIRE TO DISCUSS ADDITIONAL COST, SO WE DID ALREADY DRAFT OUT SOME ESTIMATES AND KIND OF PLACE THE AGAINST THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT WOULD COME IN. IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THEM. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> I THINK FOR ME, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IS THE INDEPENDENT HOTEL FEASIBILITY STUDY AS WELL AS THE INDEPENDEN CONVENTION CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY. SHOWING THE REVENUES GENERATED AND PROJECTED REVENUES REBATED ALONG WITH A FINANCING GAP ANALYSIS. THEN OF COURSE, WITH SOME OF TH VALUES THAT YOU SHOW JUST LAST WEEK OF THE REVENUES AND TECH SPACE ET CETERA, SO I CAN HELP MAKE A BETTER EDUCATED DECISION. >> AGAIN, A REMINDER, THIS IS A AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED TONIGHT , WE HAVE APPROVED ONE ITEM FROM A TERM SHEET LAST WEE AND THAT'S GOING TO OBVIOUSLY ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCILMEMBERS RAISED AS WE CONTINUE TO GO INTO MORE DETAILS COME OUR WAY. IT'S GOT OTHER WE WILL HAVE MAN OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE DISTRICT 35 AS WELL AS THE COUNCIL TO SEAT MANY THINGS BEFORE IT'S EVER. SECONDLY, THIS PARTICULAR ONE I ABOUT IN PARALLEL, CREATION OF RESOLUTION THAT IS SUPPORTING LEGISLATION SO WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE LEGISLATIVE PATH >> COUNCIL MEMBER SUTTER? >> THIS MAY ABOUT HAVE BEEN ASKED LAST WEEK, BUT CAN YOU GIVE ME EXAMPLES OF OTHER MDS AND TEXTS? , SOUTH TEXAS? >> SOME OF THE AUSTIN AREA. PILOT POINT. THERE ARE SOME MMDS FUNCTIONING CURRENTLY. >> YEAH. >> MMD. >> BACK TO THE CHART THAT HAD A VARIOUS -- VARIOUS TYPES OF FINANCING ENTITIES, RIGHT? AND I THINK EACH ONE HAS ITS PLACE AND WE'VE USED BIDS, WE'VE USED TERSE. CASTLE HILLS WAS EFFECTIVELY A MUD TO START. IT'S A PIT AS WELL. THEN MMD IS SOMETHING THIS CITY HAS NOT USED. OTHERS HAVE. IT'S -- IT'S HARD TO POINT TO AS MANY MMDS AS YOU CAN POINT TO OTHERS. PILOT POINT IS PROBABLY THE CLOSEST PROXIMITY -- >> DALLAS. >> AND DALLAS, EXACTLY. >> VERY GOOD. >> VERY GOOD. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT. YES. >> TO COUNCIL FLEMING'S POINT, THE LIST HE RAN DOWN AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE, I THINK ALL OF THOSE THINGS OBVIOUSLY SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT TO CITY COUNCIL. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND. ALL THOSE THINGS, THE PLAN IS TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE BEFORE ANY KIND OF FINAL DECISION IS MADE FROM A COMMITMENT STANDPOINT AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE COMMITTING TO WITH THE DEVELOPER. IS MY UNDERSTANDING. THIS COMMITMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS TO BE ABLE -- FROM AN MMD STANDPOINT IS REALLY FROM A LEGISLATIVE ASK OR MOVE FORWARD SO THE MMD CAN BE ABLE TO BE EVALUATED. IF ANYTHING ON COUNCIL MEMBER LIST THAT DOES NOT PASS THE SMELL TEST AND DOES NOT WORK FOR THE CITY, THERE'S PLENTY OF AVENUES AND OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS OR NOT SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE WHOLE, EVEN IF WE HAVE AN MMD. IS THAT THE RIGHT WAY TO LOOK AT IT? >> THE LEGISLATURE WAS TO CREATE THE ABILITY FOR CARROLLTON TO ESTABLISH THE DISTRICT 35 MMD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. [01:40:03] >> THERE'S -- IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE IT NOW YOU HAVE TO DO T YOU CAN STOP IT IF YOU WANT. >> I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE POINT SPECIFICALLY TOO LOOKING AT -- TO LOOK AT FROM A CONSENT STANDPOINT TO LOOK AT IT AND PUT IT ON THE AN AGENDA THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I CERTAINLY DO NOT SEE THE MMD AND PROHIBITIVE IN US BEING ABLE TO CONTROL DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO MOVING FORWARD ENTIRELY WITH THE PROJECT. >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU WILL HAVE -- YOU WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE AS I MENTIONED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND I'M LOSING SENSE OF TIME, BUT YOU WILL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH A ZONING DISTRICT, THE ABILITY TO APPROVE A SITE PLAN OR A SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ANY DEVIATION FROM THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO COME BACK TO THE CITY AND ASK FOR PERMISSION TO MOVE THEIR BUILDING BLOCKS AS YOU HAVE DONE BETWEEN UNION STATION. SIMILAR TO THAT DISTRICT. WE'LL ESTABLISH A SEPARATE DISTRICT FOR DISTRICT 35 A, THE ZONING APPROVED BY THIS BODY. >> LET ME FRAME THIS DIFFERENTLY TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR. IS THERE ANY OBLIGATION THE CITY HAS TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER ON ANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE SO FAR GENERALLY OUTLINED FROM A PLANNING STANDPOINT, IS THE CITY OBLIGATED TO EXECUTE ANY OF THOSE THINGS IF THE LEGISLATIVE MMD IS APPROVED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE? >> NO. THE ANSWER'S NO. >> YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. >> SO NO ON THE MMD. WE'RE NOT -- WE CAN -- LEGISLATION -- LEGISLATORS MAY APPROVE IT AND WE CAN CHOOSE TO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH IT. DIE ON THE VINE AND MAYBE FUTURE COUNCILS CAN EXPLORE, OKAY? SECONDLY, THE -- THIS COUNCIL HAS APPROVED NOTHING OTHER THAN A CONSULTANT STUDY TO SUPPORT OUR LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS TODAY. OKAY? WE'VE ONLY -- WE'VE ONLY APPROVED A FEW AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED STEPS, THE MOST RECENTLY WAS TO NEGOTIATE A NON-BINDING TERM SHEET. NON-BINDING IS THE KEY THERE. SO WE REMAIN FLEXIBLE WITH RESPECT TO OUR -- WHETHER OR NOT THIS COUNCIL OR FUTURE COUNCILS ARE GOING TO PROCEED WITH THIS PROJECT AT THIS STAGE. WE HAVE TO GO -- WE'RE TAKING THIS AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED STEPS AS WE GO ALONG. IT'S A FAIR POINT. ALL THE QUESTIONS, AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE QUESTIONS. BUT WE'RE NOT SIGNINGER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND WE DON'T HAVE AN MMD TODAY. >> QUESTION FOR CLARIFICATION. ARE WE DOING THIS IN BACKWARDS ORD? IF WE APPROVED THE STUDY LAST WEEK, WOULDN'T THAT AUTOMATICALLY GIVE US THE ABILITY TO CREATE A RESOLUTION FOR THE -- >> THE STUDY IS GOING TO BE USED TO SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION BEING PASSED. >> THAT'S WHY I ASKED FIRST. >> YEAH. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN I'M GOOD. >> SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CREATING THE MMD BUT WHAT IF WE DIDN'T. WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MMD AND WE DECIDE TO GO FORWARD WITH DISTRICT E. THE BURDEN WESTBOUND WOULDL CITY. >> THAT'S A FAIR STATEMENT. THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO BEAR THE 35 TO $40 MILLION COST. A PROPER INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAKE THE SITE MORE DEVELOPABLE. >> THANK YOU. >> WHICH IS AGAIN WHY WE FRAMED THESE THINGS AS AUTHORIZATIONS TO PROCEED. IT'S BUILDING BLOCKS AND BY THE TIME WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO COMMIT, LAND SALE AND DOLLARS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANSWERS ON THESE THINGS THAT ULTIMATELY SELF FUNDS ITSELF. >> PART OF THE PROPER -- >> SURE. >> PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS IN TERRACE, RIGHT? >> YES. >> SO WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT PROPERTY -- >> A HUNDRED PERCENT. >> THAT WOULD BE UTILIZED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. WHY WOULD WE -- >> I BELIEVE WE DON'T HAVE THAT -- >> THIS IS INCREMENTAL. THIS CREATES A BODY THAT CAN ACTUALLY LEVERAGE OTHER FORMS OF FUNDRAISING. FOR INSTANCE, AS YOU ARTICULATED UP THERE, THIS BOARD COULD PASS AND RAISE DEBT -- REVENUE DEBT THAT WE DON'T HAVE TODAY. OKAY? AND WE WANT THIS BOARD TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DEBT SO THAT THE CITY'S NOT UNLESS [01:45:03] IT'S -- UNLESS WE ASK THAT IT DISSOLVE ITSELF. >> RIGHT. >> SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PART TO CREATE AN ENTITY THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO RAISE DEBT, TO FUND ITS OWN PROGRESS. AND NOT THE CITY. >> BEYOND WHAT THE TOURIST NUMBER S. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> MAY I -- IF I CAN. I THINK I'M SENSING A LITTLE BIT OF A CONFUSION. THE FEASIBILITY STUDY ADVOCATING OR GOING OUT AND GETTING DONE IS FOR THE EVENT SLASH CONFERENCE CENTER AND NOT THE AMENITY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. AM I CORRECT? >> IT DOES DIFFER PIECES. IT WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY EXPECT THE HOTEL TO HAVE AS FAR AS ATTENDANCE. BUT THE PRO FORMAS ARE ON THE EVENT CENTER AND THE PARKING GARAGE. >> SORRY. >> SO THOSE ARE PIECES OF THAT. BUT THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT WHAT THEY EXPECT FOR ATTEND ATTEN THE HOTEL, IN ALPINE X AND THEY'LL PROVIDE US WITH THAT INFORMATION. THE PRO FORMAS WILL BE ON THE EVENTS IN THE PARKING GARAGE. >> BUT THAT PIECE IS PART OF THE ANSWERS THAT EVEN COUNCIL MEMBER FLEMING RAISED TONIGHT. HE WANTS TO KNOW THE ANSWERS. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS IN PARALLEL. THESE ARE ALL IN PARALLEL. >> I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT INFORMATION IN THE STUDY COMING AND BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE LEGISLATURE TO PITCH THE MMD. SO I WOULD ARGUE THAT THE STUDY THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE, THE INFORMATION COLLECTED THAT'S NO, BUT SOME OF THAT INFORMATION IF NOT A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION WILL BE UTILIZED TO LOOK AT WHAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THROUGH LEGISLATION OR THROUGH -- HAVE A WOULDN'T YOU AGREE TO COUNCIL MEMBER AXBERG -- >> IT WOULD HELP BOLSTER THE MOVE TO GET THE -- I'LL TELL YOU WHY. WE HAVE A PLAN. BUT TO SUBSTANTIATE IT WITH A STUDY, I THINK IT ADDS A LITTLE BIT OOMPH TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS. GIVEN THE FACT THAT LAST YEAR, IF YOU RECALL, WE DID GO UP THERE AND LOOK AT OTHER LEGISLATION. WE DO NOT HAVE A PROJECT OR PLAN IN PLACE. THIS WE DO AND WE WILL HAVE IT WITH A FEASIBILITY STUDY DONE TODAY. >> IT ALSO GIVES US SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO MAKE DECISIONS. SO IT'S NOT SOLELY JUST TO SUPPORT OUR POSITION TO THE LEGISLATURE. IT'S TO -- FOR YOU ALL TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION, RICHARD SAYING I NEED THIS DATA, THIS DATA, THIS DATA TO MAKE A DECISION. YEAH WE NEED THAT DATA. WE CAN'T MAKE A DECISION WITHOUT KNOWING THE TRUE REVENUE, WITHOUT TAKING IT AT FACE VALUE WHAT THE DEVELOPER SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE. I HOPE IT'S GREAT BUT I NEED AN OUTSIDE SOURCE THAT'S OBJECTIVE TO LOOK AT THAT TO MAKE SURE. SO THAT IS PART OF THE PURPOSE OF THAT. IT'S NOT JUST -- WHEN YOU ASK CAN WE GET OUT? YES, WE'RE IN THE EVALUATION PHASE. IT'S NOT THE COMMITMENT PHASE. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS WE'RE ASKING FOR THE STEPS SO THAT YOU HAVE THE DATA TO EVALUATE TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THE ROAD. >> MAYOR, WITH THAT, WE HAVE TWO CONSIDERATIONS. FIRST ONE IS TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'VE ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS. >> OKAY. SORRY. >> DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >> NO, I -- IT WAS ANSWERED. >> OKAY. SO COUNCIL, AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A CONSENSUS, WE'LL VOTE IF WE HAVE CONSENSUS ON THE AGENDA ITEM NEXT OFFICIAL MEETING. DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS? THUMBS UP IN TERMS OF ADOPTING A RESOLUTION AN ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING? >> THAT RESOLUTION IS... >> SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION. >> TO -- IT'S THE FIRST -- >> THE RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION EFFORTS TO CREATE AA WHOLE LOT DETAILS THAN ONE LINE THERE. OKAY. AND THEN WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THIS PRESENTATION IS SHARED ON THE -- >> DISTRICT 35 E, TALKING ABOUT THAT TOO? >> DO YOU WANT THE NAME? NOW? >> YES, BECAUSE THAT THAT WOULD APPEAR ON THE RESOLUTION. >> SURE. >> CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE NAME OF THE MMD. >> C'MON, KELLY. >> THESE ARE -- THESE ARE LEGAL ENTITIES, CAN ALWAYS BE RENAMED. I WOULD NOT LOOK AT THIS AS SOMETHING BEYOND A PLACE HOLDER NAME OR A CURRENT NAME. >> ALL RIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT, SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR THOUGH, THIS PRESENTATION AS WITH ALL PRESENTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR SHARED DRIVE, RIGHT? AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, THAT'S TAKING US TO INFORMATION SHARING. [01:50:02] >> I HAVE ANOTHER ITEM, TOO. >> I'M SORRY. YES. >> CALENDARS. EXCUSE ME. >> ITEM NUMBER 6. >> YES. >> I CAN ONLY APPROVE IT TO MAY 1ST. >> JULY 1. >> UNLESS THERE'S A RUNOFF. THEN I CAN APPROVE IT -- JUNE. >> WE MAKE DECISIONS FOR FUTURE COUNCILS ALL THE TIME, MR. AXBERG. >> BUT YOU CAN'T BIND THEM. >> FAIR. >> SO WE NEED TO DETERMINE CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATES FOR JANUARY THROUGH -- THROUGH JULY. SO STARTING JANUARY 2027. OUR TYPICAL -- KEEP IN MIND OUR TYPICAL DATES ARE THE FIRST AND THIRD TUESDAY OF THE MONDAY. SO FOR JANUARY, TUESDAY, JANUAR. AND 19TH. >> OKAY? >> YEAH. >> OKAY. LET'S MOVE ON. >> FEBRUARY 2ND AND 16TH. >> OKAY. >> MARCH 2ND AND LIKE WE DID THIS YEAR BUMPED IT A WEEK TO THE 4TH TUESDAY OF THE MONTH, DUE TO SPRING BREAK FOR ISDS. >> WHY DOES THAT COINCIDE WITH OUR SCHEDULE AT ALL? >> FOR -- >> STAFF. BEING ON VACATION. >> JUST TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE'S TIME OFF WITH CHILDREN NOT IN SCHOOL. >> OKAY. SO CAN WE GO BACK TO FEBRUARY. I THINK OUR INITIAL AUSTIN TRIP IS ON THE 17TH AND 18TH. >> YES. >> SO ARE WE STILL -- ARE WE GOING TO FOLLOW -- >> IT WOULD BE KNOWN THAT WE WOULD -- CORRECT. SO WE WOULD FLY IN THE MORNING OF THE 17TH TO HAVE LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES THE AFTERNOON OF THE 17TH AND THE MORNING OF THE 18TH AND FLY OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON. IT'S A -- OKAY. >> THERE WAS ANOTHER EVENT THAT WAS COINCIDING WITH THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE METRO QUEST KEY HOLDER BREAKFAST. >> METRO FEST CHAMBER GOING WITH US TO -- >> AUSTIN. >> HAPPY TO MOVE THE DATE. >> FOLLOWING WEEK? >> I'M GOOD WITH THE -- >> THIS IS OUR TYPICAL -- IT'S OUR TYPICAL FIRST AND THIRD TUESDAY, THAT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS DO, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC. WE TYPICALLY STICK TO THE -- >> I HAVE A CONFLICT THE FOLLOWING WEEK. >> I DO AS WELL. >> OKAY. >> THAT'S FINE. >> SO MARCH, DO YOU WANT TO KEEP 0 ON ON THE 23RD? >> 23. >> APRIL 6 AND 20TH. MAY -- THIS ONE GETS WONKY DUE TO ELECTION CYCLE. IT'S NOT THE FIRST AND THIRD TUESDAY. WITH ELECTIONS AND WE CAN ARRANGE THIS, THIS IS A SUGGESTION, ELECTION DAY IS THE FIRST. SO CANVASSING HAS TO OCCUR ON THE 11TH. IT'S TYPICALLY -- THEY NEED THE WHOLE WEEK TO 258LY VOTES. T. WE HAVE TO CANVASS ON THE 11TH AND IN ORDER TO NOT HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING IN ADDITION TO COUNCIL MEETINGS HAVING THE COUNCIL MEETING THAT NIGHT. >> YEAH. >> AND THEN JUST TO KEEP IT SO IT'S NOT BACK-TO-BACK, I WANT TO THE 25TH. SO WE DON'T HAVE BACK-TO-BACK. >> MEMORIAL DAY'S THE NEXT WEEK. THAT WORKS OUT. >> OKAY. >> SO THEN JUNE, AGAIN, RUNOFF HAS NOT ACTUALLY BEEN SCHEDULED YET FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE. BUT IN FOLLOWING YEARS IT'S TYPICALLY THIS DATE. KIND OF LIKE THAT SECOND SATURDAY IN JUNE AND SO JUST ASSUMING THAT RUNOFF WILL BE HERE OR INTO THE FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH PER SCHEDULE. BUT AGAIN I WOULD NEED THIS FULL WEEK AND CANVASSING THIS DATE, SO JUST TO ALREADY ASSUME FOR CANVASSING PURPOSE A COUNCIL MEETING ON THIS DATE. >> AGAIN, THE 31ST IS MEMORIAL DAY, RIGHT? AND CITY HALL'S CLOSED. SO I KNOW WE DON'T LIKE TO HAVE A COUNCIL MEETING WITH A HOLIDAY THERE. SO THAT WOULD SUGGEST MAYBE THE 8TH INSTEAD OF THE 1ST? >> YEAH, THAT'S FINE. >> AND THEN THAT WOULD THEN ALLOW IT TO BE TWO WEEKS LATER. >> I AGREE. >> THAT'S WAY IT'S NOT -- OKAY, WE'LL DO JUNE 8TH AND JUNE 22ND. >> YEAH. >> AND OF COURSE SHOULD THE SECRETARY OF STATE SCHEDULE A DATE THAT'S NOT 129TH WE 12TH WE COULD HAVE TO SCHEDULE ACCORDINGLY. THE -- >> THAT'S RIGHT AFTER A HOLIDAY. >> IT'S DOABLE FOR STAFF. [01:55:03] IT'S UP TO COUNCIL BECAUSE YOU KNOW POSTING A AND DEADLINE REQUIREMENTS. >> PREP -- >> TRAVELLING. >> VACATIONS. >> HAPPY TO MOVE BASED ON SUMMER VACATION. >> 13TH, 27TH. >> WE COULD DO THAT. 13 AND 27. KEEP IN MIND I DIDN'T GO TO AUGUST BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF FAR AWAY. THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE THE 3RD, THE 17TH AND THE 31ST. >> BECAUSE THAT'S BUDGET. >> BECAUSE OF BUDGET. SO THE 3RD IS RIGHT HERE. IF WE DID THE 27TH, WE'D HAVE BACK-TO-BACK RIGHT HERE. AND -- >> WE DON'T HAVE TO BUT THAT'S USUALLY -- >> THAT'S -- >> I THINK WE COULD GO AHEAD AN- >> CAN'T WE PUT THE JULY 6TH ON 13TH AND HAVE TWO BACK-TO-BACK THERE IS. >> YEAH, THAT WAY WE HAVE MORE TIME. YEAH. JULY 13TH AND 20TH. AND THEN DO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SCHEDULE RETREAT AS WELL? ON THE 23RD AND 24TH? >> YEAH. >> THAT'S WHAT WE DID THIS YEAR COUNCIL ON TUESDAY AND RETREAT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. >> FOR NOW. >> THAT'S BUDGET TIME. >> YEAH. CLOSE TO THE BUDGET, THEN THE FIRST BUDGET MEETING IS AUGUST 3RD, RIGHT HERE. WHY HAVE FINAL CONFIRMATION. OKAY. COOL. >> OKAY. THOSE WILL BE SCHEDULED. INFORMATION SHARING. I'LL TAKE THIS IN PLACE ORDER THIS TIME. COUNCIL MEMBER AXBERG. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. NOW KIND OF GOING BACK FROM BEFORE, I THOUGHT THE -- OUR CITY NIGHT OUT WAS REALLY, REALLY NEAT. I SAW THAT THERE WERE PARKS THAT WEREN'T NECESSARILY SIGNED UP. BUT STILL HAD FOLKS IN THEM WHICH WAS KIND OF NEAT. AND IT WAS GREAT BEING ABLE TO CATCH UP AND I GOT A LOT OF FEEDBACK THAT ESPECIALLY IN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME RESIDENCE, PARKS ASSOCIATED, PEOPLE REALLY APPRECIATED IT AND APPRECIATED THAT COUNCIL AND PEOPLE COMING BY AND BEING ABLE TO SAY HELLO. I WANTED TO CALL THAT OUT. ALSO REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE MARKETING SOCIALED WITH THE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWITCH ARRESTED. YARD. IT'S PICKED UP BY LOCAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA. EXCITED ABOUT SWITCH YARD THIS YEAR. I THINK INCOMPETENTED TO CALL OUT I WANTED TO CAE MARKETING DEPARTMENT. A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL AUTHORITY MET TODAY. NOTHING REALLY TO REPORT THERE. ALTHOUGH BOTH GENERAL MAHOLIC AS WELL AS SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS SAID THEY REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE CITY AND THE SUPPORT THEY'RE GETTING. THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME HERE IN THIS NEXT QUARTER WITH SOME MORE INFORMATION THAT'S COMING OUT. THERE'S A LOT OF FUNDRAISING THEY'RE ALSO DOING WHICH IS A BIG PART OF WHAT THE BOARD DOES AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO SEND FUNDS OUT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE ORGANISATIONS THAT THEY SUPPORT. AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT OVER THE HOLIDAYS. SO I TOLD THEM I WOULD BE BACK HERE TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THE EVENTS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AND WHICH WE'LL ALL BE INVITED TOO. >> COOL. THANKS. >> THANK YOU. >> THANKS, MAYOR. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND COYOTE RIDGE ELEMENTARY A FEW WEEKS BACK AND ATTENDED THEIR STUDENT LIGHTHOUSE LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON. IT'S A FASCINATING TIME. GETTING TO INTERACT WITH A BUNCH OF YOUNG LEADER AT THAT SCHOOL. IT WAS A QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME. MYSELF AND SEVERAL OTHER LEADERS FROM AROUND THE COMMUNITY WERE THERE. IT WAS JUST GREAT TO SEE REALLY INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS FROM THESE YOUNG PEOPLE BEING ASKED OF LEADERS AND I THINK THAT SPEAKS A LOT TO THE FUTURE THAT WE HAVE. ATTENDED CULTURE FEST A FEW WEEKS AGO A NEW SITE. LOTS OF SUN THERE WHEN I WAS THERE. WE -- AND THAT -- BUT IT WAS A GOOD TIME. ATTENDED NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. GREAT TO SEE LOTS OF NEIGHBORS AND THEN HAD A GREAT TIME AT ARMENIA FEST THIS LAST WEEKEND. AS ALWAYS THEY DID A PHENOMENAL JOB PUTTING ON A GREAT VENUE FOR OUR CITY AND SURROUNDING AREA. THANK YOU. >> YES, SIR, MR. MAYOR, ABOUT THREE WEEKS BACK, I ATTENDED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CELEBRATIONS CES WITH PASTOR MIKE HAYES, 50 YEARS OF MINISTRY, QUITE AN [02:00:04] ACCOMPLISHMENT. THIS PAST WEEKEND, CELEBRATED OUR -- WE HAD OUR 40TH ANNUAL REUNION TURNER HIGH SCHOOL, CLASS OF 1986. IT WAS -- IT WAS NICE TO SEE -- I'M GOING TO KEEP IT NICE. IT WAS NICE TO SEE -- IT WAS NICE TO SEE THE GROUP THAT WE HAD. I THINK WE HAD ABOUT A HUNDRED PEOPLE OUT OF A CLASS OF 460. THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. >> THAT'S REALLY GOOD. >> NOT BAD, YEAH. >> AWESOME. >> THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> THANK YOU. >> ONE TWO, THREE, FOUR. THERE. >> SINCE I WAS OUT LAST WEEK, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I REPORTED BEFORE, BUT I DID GO TO CULTURE FEST. I DID MISS A LOT LAST WEEK. SO SAD. >> WE MISSED YOU TOO. >> MY 50TH HIGH SCHOOL REUNION FROM WT HEIGHTS. CULTURE FEST WAS REALLY ALL I CAN REPORT AT THIS TIME. >> BUT YOU WERE MISSED HERE AS WELL. SO AND 50 YEARS? >> YEAH. 50TH. >> OKAY. FIVE IS NOT HERE. SIX? >> SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I -- WELL, A FEW OF THE THINGS THIS LAST SATURDAY WAS JAM PACKED WITH MOVIES. THE RIBBON-CUTTING WAS SO NICE, IT'S NICE THAT WE GOT TO PARTNER TO SHARE THE COSTS AND ALSO SHOW THAT PARKING BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE PARKING LOT FOR THAT PARK. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY NICE. I HOPE IT'S USED BY OUR COMMUNITY AND THEY GET A LOT OF FUN OUT OF IT. IT LOOKED REALLY FUN. AND THEN I ALSO ATTENDED THE POLICE MEMORIAL DEDICATION OF OUR BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY THAT WE HAVE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE JAIL. AND THEN THE NELSON ANNUAL PICNIC THAT WAS RIGHT HERE AT STEENSON PARK. ALL VERY, VERY WELL DONE. OUR POLICE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF DEDICATING THAT MEMORIAL AND JUST, YOU KNOW, BRINGING IT ALL BACK WHAT HAPPENED FOUR YEARS AGO SUNDAY, SO IT WAS -- IT WAS A BEAUTIFULLY DONE MEMORIAL. SO I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO BE THERE AND THEN I DID ARMENIA FEST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. BECAUSE I JUST HAD TO HAVE MORE OF THEIR BREAD WHICH IS THE CHEESE -- SO GOOD. AND I WAS TOLD IT TAKES TWO DAYS TO MAKE THOSE. I SAID IT'S VERY WELL APPRECIATED AND DELICIOUS. SO THANK YOU. AND THEN PREVIOUSLY, BECAUSE WE DID MEET LAST WEEK BUT HADN'T MET FOR A MONTH SINCE THEN, IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING, I HAD TO WRITE STUFF DOWN. I WENT TO THE PERRY PUMPKIN PATCH AND I WANTED TO TAKE A PUMPKIN BUT THEY SAID I DIDN'T REGISTER FOR ONE. OKAY. YOU DON'T NEED A PUMPKIN. LET THE LITTLES HAVE THEM. YEAH. YEAH. SO WE TOOK PICTURES. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS PERFECT WEATHER. AND THEN BEFORE THAT, EARLIER, LATER IN SEPTEMBER, I ATTENDED THE MHMR MENTAL HEALTH SUMMIT AND THEY PROVIDED SOME GREAT RESOURCES, THERE WERE SOME REALLY GOOD PRESENTATIONS AND I HAVE A WEBSITE WITH ALL OF THE PRESENTATIONS AS WELL AS ALL OF THE LINKS TO ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SELF SERVICE AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT CAN HELP PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A IN A COMPLETE MENTAL BREAKDOWN TO SEEK HELP OR SERVICE. AND SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS GREAT. WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS AN UPDATE FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH THEM AND METRO CARE, AND DALLAS COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES. I KNOW WE HAVE PRESENCE AT METRO PRESS SERVICES WITH OUR MENTAL HEALTH NAVIGATOR THERE THAT WE APPROVED MONEY FOR TWO YEARS AGO. SO I'M WANTING TO SEE SOME SORT OF UPDATE ON HOW WE'RE UTILIZING THAT MENTAL HEALTH NAVIGATOR AND JUST TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING. AS FAR AS OUR POLICE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE FROM OUR COUNTIES. THAT'S ALL. >> OKAY. WE'LL CLOSE IT OUT WITH WATTERS. >> THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, FURTHER THAN A WEEK AGO, BUT I DID SEVEN OR EIGHT. >> WOW. >> FINISHED THE LIST. BUT I MADE THE WRONG EXIT AND -- THAT WAS MY GOAL. BUT IT WAS ALWAYS GOOD. [02:05:03] NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. I'M PROUD AND I TALK ABOUT IT A LOT. FOR THIS WEEK, WELL, ACTUALLY ALSO HAD A MEETING WITH THE METRO PRESS CHAMBER AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A GROWING CONSENSUS OF COLLABORATING. IT'S NOT JUST METRO FEST CHAMBER. IT'S ALSO CFB. EVEN THAT'S COLLEGES. THEY WANT TO LOOK AT PUTTING GOALS TOGETHER AND SEE HOW FAR WE CAN GO AS A BIGGER TEAM. AND THEN THIS WEEK, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY ALONE, THERE'S FOUR EVENTS. IT'S BACK-TO-BACK TO BACK. IF WE LOOK AT THAT AS THE PULSE OF OUR CITY THEN WE HAVE A VERY HEALTHY TEMPO IN OUR CITY AND THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK I'M VERY PROUD OF. >> DEFINITELY. YEAH, IT WAS A FULL WEEKEND FOR -- I THINK THERE WERE SIX ON MINE. THAT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THEM. SO WE MET WITH A -- A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE MET WITH STAFF -- STAFF MET WITH THE DAY CAMP, SO THEY'RE EXPLORING MOVING FROM FARMERS FRANCE TO CARROLLTON. THEY'RE EXPLORING. THERE'S NO COMMITMENTS AT THIS STAGE AND ULTIMATELY WHETHER OUR FACILITIES WILL BE WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR OR NOT, TIME WILL TELL. BUT REALLY APPRECIATED STAFF'S ENGAGEMENT WITH THEM AND LOOKING AT IT AND -- YOU KNOW, THERE'S 300 ADULTS AND CHILDREN THERE EVERY WEEK AND IT'S PUT ON IN FARMERS FRENCH FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. DECADES ACTUALLY. ONE OF THE ADULT ORGANIZERS IS ACTUALLY -- WAS A FORMER WIEBELOW IN THE DAY CAMP. IT'S INTERESTING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION. MET WITH THE KOREAN CONSULATE. HIS AMERICAN NAME IS DORY AND THEN KIM. SO HE'LL -- WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH HIM. BUT AS THEY ALWAYS DO WHEN THEY HAVE A NEW TWO-YEAR -- TWO, THREE-YEAR CYCLE, TERM, THEY CAME AND MET WITH OUR STAFF. SO JENNY, AARON, MYSELF, I THINK RAVI, WE ALL SHOWED AS HOST AND IT WAS NICE TO VISIT WITH THEM AND SHARE THEIR -- SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS OR THEIR QUESTIONS. BACK ON THE POLICE MEMORIAL, AGAIN, IT WAS NICE. YOU KNOW, YOU'LL REMEMBER AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM -- THE PASSING, AS A COUNCIL, THEN CURRENT COUNCIL APPROVED SOME DOLLARS FOR A MEMORIAL AND WE LEFT IT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE WHERE AND WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE AND ULTIMATELY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHOSE TO PLACE IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR FENCED IN AREA SO THAT -- VERSUS WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE INSIDE. SO WE WE APPRECIATE THE POLICE INVOLVING US IN THEIR CELEBRATION IN THEIR MEMORIAL THAT THEY HELD FOR THEIR FAMILY. I KNOW SOME OF US WHERE THEY ARE , AND THERE WERE SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, BUT THIS WAS REALLY A POLICE DEPARTMENT FUNCTION, SO WE APPRECIATE THOS WHO CAME OUT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WE APPRECIATE THE FAMILY IN ALL THE LIBERALS THAT ARE NOT SO LITTLE ANYMORE, ONE OF THEM TOWERS OVER ME WAS THER AS WELL, SO IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THEM. I WILL JUST REMIND US THAT WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY A COUPLE OF FOOTBALL GAMES COMING UP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO THAT'S ALWAYS EXCITING AND WE SEE INTERIM CITY PLAY. WE HAVE THE CRITTER ON IN DOWNTOWN AS WELL AS MONSTER MASH , MONSTER MASH WILL BE TAKING PLACE AT THE POLICE ASSOCIATION THAT PUTS IT ON. ALL AGES, ALL KIDS, SO DADS AND MOMS AS WELL. THAT WILL BE AT THE FIRST BAPTIST TO IS WE DO HAVE A JOIN MEETING SO I WILL HAVE CHLOE PU THAT UP AND A MOMENT. AND THEN REMEMBER OUR SIGNATURE EVENT IS THE SWITCH ARE COMING UP ON NOVEMBER 7TH, THAT WILL B THE WEEK OF OUR NEXT MEETING AN THEN THE CHAMBER WILL BE PUTTIN ON THE MIRRORS FORM WITH ALL THREE MAYORS OF THE CITY. >> MAY BE. WITH THAT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A JOINT MEETING, IT'S REALLY A WORK SESSION. THIS IS WHAT WILL GET POSTED. WE HAVE COLLABORATED WITH SO CHLOE, DO YOU WANT TO COVER THAT ? >> NEXT TUESDAY OCTOBER 27TH AT 6:00 P.M., WE WILL HAVE A JOINT MEETING WITH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
