          >> >> ALL RIGHT. 
          WELCOME. TO EVERYONE. 
          ALL OF OUR GUESTS HERE TONIGHT. HAPPY ELECTION NIGHT. 
          WE WILL SEE HOW THE RESULTS UNFOLD LATER. 
          I WILL START WITH OUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. I WILL NOTE WE'RE GOING TO PULL 21 FOR SEPARATE VOTE FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM. WE WILL START WITH, WE HAVE TWO SETS OF MINUTES. 10 AND 11. 
          ANY COMMENTS ON EITHER SET OF MINUTES? THANK YOU FOR LISTING THE READ IN NAMES. 
          CHLOE, WE APPRECIATE >> YEP. 
          >> NUMBER 12. CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE FORD TRANSIT 250 ENVIROSIGHT VAN FROM GREEN EQUIPMENT THROUGH INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THROUGH SOURCE WELL CO-OP IN AN AMOUNT 
          NOT TO COMED $312,066.16. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          WE TYPICALLY TRY TO PACE OUR PURCHASES FOR VEHICLES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE SLEW OF THEM IN THREE YEARS OR FOUR YEARS OR WHATEVER IT IS. ARE WE DOING THAT WITH THIS? IT SEEMS LIKE THE LAST COUNCIL MEETINGS WE HAVE BEEN PURCHASING 
          A LOT OF STORMWATER EQUIPMENT. >> DWAYNE, DIRECTOR OF FLEET FACILITIES. ON THE STORMWATER STUFF, A LOT OF EQUIPMENT WAS TRANSFERRED BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS LIKE SOME CAME FROM PARKS, SOME CAME FROM ENGINEERING PUBLIC WORKS. 
          THESE ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED TO BE REPLACED ANYWAY. 
          >> SOME ARE NET NEW >> SOME ARE NEW AND THERE ARE ADDITIONS TO THE FEE. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY. 
          THERE WAS 15 TO 18 COMING TO STORMWATER. 
          >> WILL ALL OF THEM BE REPLACED IN THE SAME TIME? 
          >> IT DEPENDS ON THE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND HOW LONG IT'S DEPRECIATED FOR. AND WILL BE 10 YEARS, SOME MIGHT BE 12. SOME MIGHT BE EIGHT. 
          SOME OF THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT DEPRECIATES SHORTER. 
          >> SURE. >> FIVE YEARS. 
          >> I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING, IS ALL OF THIS CRITICAL TO THIS YEAR, AND IS THERE FOR ALL OF THESE PURCHASES THAT WE'RE MAKING, IS THERE, DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO DELAY ANY OF THEM SO WE'RE NOT ALL BACKED UP AND HAVING TO PURCHASE THIS AGAIN IN 
          A FEW YEARS. >> JOEY WILEY. 
          THE REASON FOR PURCHASING THE EQUIPMENT IS WE'RE STAFFING UP AND HAVE THE STAFF. WE NEED THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE STAFF TO DO THE PROJECTS WE HAVE SCHEDULED. 
          >> I DIDN'T HEAR MY QUESTION GET ANSWERED BUT, MY QUESTION WAS, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO DELAY ANY OF THESE SO THAT WE'RE NOT, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REPURCHASE THEM WHEN THEY DEPRECIATE IN A 
          FEW YEARS ALL AT THE SAME TIME? >> THAT'S WHY DWAYNE WAS EXPLAINING. NOT EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WILL BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. 
          AND EQUIPMENT IS FIVE YEAR REPLACE. 
          SOME IS 10 YEAR AND IS EIGHT YEARS. 
          DEPENDS ON WHAT IT IS. THE BIGGER EQUIPMENT IS SEVEN TO EIGHT YEAR TIME SPAN. A CAMERA SYSTEM MIGHT BE FIVE YEARS BECAUSE IT'S COMPUTERIZED AND THE STREET SWEEPERS SEVEN OR EIGHT LIKE WE APPROVED LAST TIME AND THE TRUCKS ARE 10 TO 12 
          YEARS. >> OKAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS. >> YEAH, IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. 
          WE I THINK SEVERAL OF US HAVE NOTED THERE'S A LOT OF THIS START UP COSTS TIED TO THIS STORMWATER ENTERPRISE FUND. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FACING. THIS HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION DURING THE BUDGET SEASON IN TERMS OF ENTERPRISE FUND AND SO FORTH. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE TO ENSURE WE MITIGATE THE DOWN POURS AND SO FORTH. 
          SO OUR CHANNELS THE VEHICLES REQUIRED AND THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE BUDGET AND ALL FAIR QUESTIONS.

          I NOTICED THIS ALSO IN ANOTHER ITEM. 
          IS THIS SOMETHING, WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE. 
          IS THIS NOT PART OF OUR PACKET? >> FORM FILLED 95S IS REQUIRED HAD WE DO CONTRACTS WITH BUSINESS AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 
          TYPICALLY THAT'S SOMETHING I TAKE OUT AND WE REVIEW ON AN 
          [00:05:02]
ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL PRIOR TO THE PACKET GETTING PUBLISHED. 
          THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE INSTANCES THOSE MIGHT HAVE SLIPPED IN. 
          TYPICALLY NO THEY DON'T NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET. I REVIEW ON AN ADMINISTRATIVE 
          LEVEL PRIOR TO POSTING. >> OKAY.

          >> JODY. >> JODY, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. 
          IT'S CORRECT. THE BASE MATERIAL GOES UNDER STREETS AS WE DO PANEL REPLACEMENT. 
          THERE'S RIP ROCK FOR STORMWATER REPAIR. 
          THAT'S WHY THERE'S TWO VENDORS BECAUSE ONE IS CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER. CRUSHED STONE. 
          SAND AND SOME OF THEM ARE WHAT WE GET FOR WINTER MATERIAL COMES 
          WITH THIS TOO. >> THIS ONE HAD QUITE A RANGE ON PRICING. I NOTED. 
          WE TRIED TO CHOOSE THE BEST PRODUCT. 
          THE RIP ROCK IS A SECONDARY PRODUCT WHICH WE NORMALLY DON'T DO. ALL RIGHT.

          MAYBE THIS IS THE SAME THING. THE USE OF POLYFOAM OR WHATEVER IN THERE FOR PROBABLY LOWER INTENSITY JOBS. 
          I AM IMPRESSED WITH IT. IS IT PROVEN? HAVE WE BEEN ABLE TO SAY, YES THIS IS BEST PRACTICE? 
          >> IT SAVES US MONEY WE HAVE TO LIFT THEM OUT. 
          WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET A CONCRETE COMPANY TO SMOOTH THE 
          STREET OUT. >> CONSIDERED BEST PRACTICES 
          AMONG >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          >> YES. YOU MENTION THE BACKLOG, ABOUT 
          HOW MUCH BACKLOG DO WE HAVE? >> A LOT. 
          HE WILL GIVE YOU THE MORE SCIENTIFIC ANSWER. 
          >> IF YOU NOTICE PARKWAY, YOU NOTICE THAT BUMP, BUMP, WE USE IS THIS CONTRACT TO LIFT THOSE PANELS. 
          WE ALSO USE THIS CONTRACT FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT WE CAN. 
          OR THEY HAVE WATER PUDDLES IN THE STREET TO LIFT THE PANEL AND LET THE WATER FLOW. WE USE FOR MULTIPLE THINGS. 
          >>  AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT. >> YEAH 
          >> AND EVERY TIME IT RAINS WE HAVE MORE.

          TAKES US TO 19. CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT WITH VLEX CONSTRUCTION LLC FOR A CONTRACT NOT TO EXCEED $6 MILLION ANNUALLY. 
          >> A LOT OF WORK HERE. NUMBER 20. 
          CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH DISASTER DEBRIS MONITORING AND CONSULTING SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARROLLTON AND DEBRIS TECH LLC AND THOMPSON CONSULTING LLC. 
          THIS IS PURSUANT TO STATE LAW. IN TERMS OF CROWDER GULF. 
          >> THIS MONITORING IS REQUIRED FOR US TO GET FEMA, SORRY. 
          >> YOU'RE DOING GREAT. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M REED. 
          THESE ARE CONTRACTS WITH FEMA WE MUST HAVE IF WE HAVE A LARGE DISASTER. THEY TELL US TO HAVE THE HAULERS AND THE CONTRACTORS IN ORDER OR CONTRACTORS, THE MONITORING CONTRACTORS, THERE WE GO TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT. 
          >> ALL OUR DUCKS IN A ROW. >> YES, SIR. 
          >> ROWENA. >> THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COVERS ALL FOUR CITIES. WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL FOUR CITIES ARE IMPACTED? DOES THE VENDOR HAVE CAPACITY? 
          >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THE WAY WE DO THAT FOR THIS EXACT REASON, WE CHOOSE, WE COORDINATE WITH THE FOUR CITIES TO DO THE RFP TOGETHER AND HAVE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS CAN EACH THE VENDORS FOR THAT REASON. WE WANT TO HAVE AVAILABLE TO WALK THROUGH BORDERS IF IT CRAWLS ACROSS SEVERAL CITIES. 
          IF WE NEED TO WALK ACROSS BORDERS, WE CAN HAVE THE SAME VENDORS. WE DON'T LOSE THE ABILITY TO 
          HAVE OUR OWN CONTRACTS >> 
          >> >> THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. 
          NEXT ITEM IS 21. WE WILL PULL FOR SEPARATE CONSIDERATION FROM THE REST OF CONSENT ITEMS. CONSIDER RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF CARROLLTON KNOWN AS DISTRICT 35 E AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          THIS IS ALL ABOUT SUPPORTING OUR LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY. 
          THERE ARE NO COMMITMENTS TO THIS AND ANY AGREEMENT THAT KIND OF COMES OUT OF THIS WORK WOULD BE A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM. 
          SO ALL FUTURE DOLLAR COMMITMENTS AND AUTHORIZATIONS TO SAY IT'S A GO VERSUS NO GO IS A FUTURE DECISION. 
          THIS IS SIMPLY ASSOCIATED WITH OUR WORK SESSION THAT WE HAD 
          PREVIOUS MEETING. >>  THIS JUST AUTHORIZES THE LEGISLATURE TO KNOW THAT WE'RE AMENABLE TO BE CREATED WITHIN THE DISTRICT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS TO CREATE THE LEGISLATION AND WE CAN WORK WITH THE MDA. OR FINANCING AGREEMENT. 
          >> SO ANY QUESTIONS? WHY ARE WE PULLING? 
          >> JUST IT'S A, IT'S A LARGER PROJECT AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE 
          SURE WE'RE ON THE >> MORE CONVERSATION. 
          >> OKAY. ANY OTHER, ANY TECHNICAL ANSWERS? YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN BUT IT'S IN LINE WITH OUR DISTRICT 35 WORK SESSION AND ALL THE WORK WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. 
          >> SO AS FAR AS THE CREATION OF THE MMD, DOES THAT, AUTOMATICALLY GIVE THE DISTRICT THE ABILITY TO GO AND LIKE -- 
          >> SO WHAT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN, SO THIS LEGISLATURE WILL SUPPORT THE PLAN AND THE LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE DEVELOPER PROPOSES TO THEIR COUNCIL AND WHEN THE LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERS IT, WE WILL SEE WE ARE AMENABLE TO BE CREATED. 
          ONCE IT'S CREATED ALLOWING THERE TO BE A DISTRICT IN CARROLLTON BECAUSE RIGHT NOT THERE ISN'T ONE. 
          WE START WORKING WHAT WILL BE IN THE FINANCING PLAN ACCORDING TO THE TERM SHEETS AND ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS YOU MENTIONED TO ME AND RAVI AND DECIDED YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THAT AS PART OF THE PROPOSALS FROM THEM. WE WILL SPEND A COUPLE MONTHS NEGOTIATING THE FINANCING AGREEMENT. 
          HOPEFULLY IF IT'S APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE WE HAVE IT TEED UP TO HAVE Y'ALL, BROUGHT BACK TO Y'ALL IN THE SPRING BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE WILLING WOULD BE APPROVED AND CONSIDERING ALL OF THAT, AT THAT TIME, WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FINANCING AGREEMENT, THAT'S WHEN THEY CAN ACTUALLY START IN THAT FINANCING AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO. THAT'S WHEN THEY CAN START 
          [00:15:01]
TAKING ACTION. UNTIL THEN, THEY CAN'T DO 
          ANYTHING. >> SO THIS IS AGAIN JUST AN AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED ALONG THE PATH. 
          NO LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS OR TAKES OPTIONALITY OFF THE TABLE. 
          I HAVE GOTTEN CALLS FROM COUNTY JUDGES AND ALSO FROM STATE REPRESENTATIVES ASKING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE HEARING ABOUT IT. WE SENT A MAILER OUT TO WITH ALL OF OUR MATERIALS THAT WE HAVE ALL SEEN UP-TO-DATE OR TO DATE RATHER. JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE TRACKING IT. THE FIRST QUESTION I HAD FROM REPRESENTATIVE BUMGARTNER, IS HEY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING THIS. THIS TELLS THEM YES WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO LOOK AT THIS AND GET IT INTO THIS LEGISLATION SO 
          WE HAVE OPTIONALITY. >> OKAY. 
          WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES OUR CONVENT AGENDA ITEMS. THAT TAKES US TO OUR WORK SESSION. 
          WE WILL START WITH ITEM NUMBER 4. 
          DISCUSS POLICY CONSIDERATIONS TO REGULATE MOBILE FOOD VENDORS. 
          THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 89TH SESSION HOUSE BILL 3824. 
          MR. HEIPLE. >> THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. COREY HEIPLE. 
          TONIGHT WE HAVE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOOD TRUCKS IN RELATION TO A RECENT STATE BILL THAT WAS PASSED THAT PREEMPTED A LOT OF OUR LOCAL AUTHORITY. 
          SO WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY FIRM DECISIONS. 
          NO ACTION TODAY BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR DIRECTION ON HOW COUNCIL WANTS TO APPROACH FOOD TRUCKS OR MOBILE FOOD VENDORS MOVING FORWARD. SO, IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION, HOW ABOUT BILL 2844, CALLED THE FOOD TRUCK FREEDOM ACT MADE A LOT OF CHANGES TO HOW LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES CAN ADDRESS FOOD TRUCKS MOVING FORWARD. MOST WAS PREEMPTION OF HOME RULE AUTHORITY. AS AN OVERVIEW, THE STATE'S INTENT BEHIND THIS BILL WAS TO STANDARDIZE LICENSING BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY MOBILE FOOD VENDOR NEEDED TO GO FROM CITY TO CITY AND COMPLY WITH LOCAL LAWS. THEY WANTED TO STANDARDIZE TO SUPPORT THE FOOD TRUCKS. SIMPLIFY THE REGULATIONS AND PREEMPT WHAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM ONE CITY TO THE NEXT. 
          THIS WAS DONE IN HELPING PROMOTE THE FOOD TRUCKS. 
          OF COURSE TO DO THAT, THEY HAD TO PREVENT ALL CITIES FROM THEIR LOCAL REGULATIONS. SO PRIOR TO THIS BILL, WHAT A FOOD TRUCK HAD TO DO WAS SCHEDULE AN INSPECTION WITH THE CITY OF CARROLLTON. PAY THE ANNUAL PERMIT FEE AND COMPLY WITH THE MOBILE VENDOR LAWS. 
          ANY TIME YOU SEE MFV, THAT IS A MOBILE FOOD TRUCK. 
          THE CITY WOULD TAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTION AS NECESSARY IF THERE WAS A COMPLAINT. WE DID HAVE SOME LOCAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS FOOD TRUCKS. 
          ONE THEY WERE ONLY ALLOWED IN DESIGNATED AREAS. 
          MOST SPECIFICALLY IN 2020 THAT WAS CHANGED TO ONLY ALLOW THEM IN THE TRANSIT CENTER DISTRICTS. WHICH WE WILL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE LATER. WE DID ALSO HAVE DISTANCE RESTRICTIONS WHERE THEY COULD NOT SET UP SHOP IN FRONT OF ANOTHER RESTAURANT. YOU WON'T HAVE A TACO TRUCK IN FRONT OF A STORE SELLING AVOCADOS AND REQUIRED THE OWNER'S PERMISSION. WE HAD THE AUTHORITY TO CONTACT INSPECTIONS AND THEN THEY COULD ONLY BE LOCATED IN THE TRANSIT DISTRICT IN ASSOCIATION WITH A RESTAURANT OR BREWERY. 
          EVERYTHING IN RED HAS BEEN PREEMPTED. 
          THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINS ARE WE CAN ALLOW THEM IN DESIGNATED AREAS THROUGH ZONING AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THE ASTERISK RESPONDING TO COMPLAINTS. WE CAN'T RESPOND TO FOOD COMPLAINTS BUT WE CAN TO PARKING COMPLAINTS. 
          SO WHAT THIS BILL LOOKS LIKE FOR US NOW. 
          THE CITY OF CARROLLTON OR ANY CITY CAN NO LONGER PERMIT, INSPECT OR COLLECT PERMIT FEE FROM THE FOOD TRUCKS. 
          A FOOD TRUCK WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES. SCHEDULE AND PAY THROUGH THEM. 
          ONCE THEY RECEIVE THE PERMIT, THAT I HAVE FREE REIGN TO GO WHEREVER THEY WOULD LIKE WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS, OF COURSE, COMPLYING WITH LOCAL ZONING REQUIREMENTS. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY PROHIBITED A LOT OF LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. LIKE A CAP ON NUMBER OF LICENSES WHICH WE NEVER HAD. HOURS OF OPERATION WHICH WE DID HAVE. PROPANE CAPACITY, WE NEVER GOT 
          [00:20:01]
INTO THAT AND PROXIMITY TO FIXED ESTABLISHMENTS. 
          . WE CAN NO LONGER LIMIT. 
          A NUMBER OF THINGS WE CAN NO LONGER REQUIRE. 
          WE NEVER DID GPS TRACKERS. HAND SINKS ON PREPACKAGED. 
          ADDITIONAL HEALTH INSPECTIONS OR AGREEMENT WITH A RESTAURANT. 
          THE LAST TWO WE DID HAVE AND THOSE HAVE NOW BEEN PREEMPTED. 
          SO, THE LIMITED RETAINED AUTHORITY THAT WE DO HAVE. 
          THE PRIMARY IS ZONING WHICH WE WILL TALK ABOUT IN OUR DECISION POINTS. WE CAN STILL ZONE FOOD TRUCKS IN CERTAIN AREAS OR ZONE THEM OUT OF CERTAIN AREAS. 
          WE STILL HAVE THAT AUTHORITY IF ARE OUR LAND USE. 
          ONE EXAMPLE BEING WE CAN DESIGNATE VENDING ZONES LIKE AN ACTUAL AREA OR LIMIT IT TO A CERTAIN DISTRICT LIKE COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL. I BRIEFLY MENTIONED WE STILL HAVE PARKING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. 
          THEY CANNOT JUST SET UP SHOP. THEY CAN'T COME OUT IN FRONT OF JOSEY AND BLOCK TRAFFIC OR ANY TRAFFIC IMPEDAMENT AT ALL. 
          AND THE BUSINESSES THAT PERHAPS WOULD ALLOW THEM. 
          THEY ARE STILL REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES. SO, YOU KNOW TAKE A CORNER GROCERY STORE LIKE YOU MAY SEE AT MARSH AND ROSEMEAD. 
          THERE'S ONE WITH A LOT OF FOOD TRUCKS PARKED THERE. 
          THEY ARE PROBABLY OVER CAPACITY FOR THEIR PARKING SPACES. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE CITY OF CARROLLTON, THIS BILL DID NOT IMPACT OUR SPECIAL EVENT PERMITTING PROCESS. 
          THOSE ARE TREATED SEPARATELY OUTSIDE OF THE THIS BILL. 
          WE WILL TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR THE CITY AS WELL AS PRIVATELY ORGANIZED EVENTS AND OF COURSE, OUR OWN CITY PROPERTY. WE CAN'T HAVE FOOD TRUCKS THAT COME OUT TO OUR PARKING LOT IN FRONT OVER BY THE POLICE STATION. WE DON'T HAVE TO ALLOW THEM TO SET UP SHOP ON CITY PROPERTY. SO, AS I MENTIONED, THE CURRENT AREAS WHERE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE WHAT IS ON THE BOOKS IS THE TRANSIT CENTER. THE THREE BLUE AT TRINITY MILLS. 
          BOTH STATIONS AND DOWNTOWN CARROLLTON. 
          WHAT WE CURRENTLY REQUIRE FOR THOSE THREE DISTRICTS AGAIN THEY MUST BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BREWERY OR RESTAURANT. 
          WE HAVE TO ELIMINATE THAT PERTHE PREEMPTION. 
          LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SPECIAL EVENT PERMITTING, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. JUST TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. 
          SO TODAY, TAKE OUR SWISS YARD OR OUR UPCOMING EVENTS AT TRINITY MILLS STATION OR WOODLAKE. IF A FOOD TRUCK HAS BEEN INVITED TO ATTEND. THAT'S SWISS YARD. 
          THAT'S THIS WEEKEND. IF THEY ARRIVE WITH A STATE PERMIT, WE CANNOT OR WILL NOT INSPECT THEM. 
          THEY ARE ALREADY APPROVED TO BE HERE. 
          THEY DON'T NEED ANY ADDITIONAL HEALTH INSPECTIONS. 
          IF A FOOD TRUCK OR TRAILER OR BOOTH WANTS TO SELL FOOD AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE STATE PERMIT. 
          WE WILL PROVIDE A TEMPORARY PERMIT TO THEM GOOD FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT. THEY DON'T, THEY WILL PASS A HEALTH INSPECTION AT THAT TIME AND THEN THEY DON'T NEED ANY ADDITIONAL STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE. 
          SO THIS BILL REALLY HAD NO IMPACT TO HOW WE DO OUR CITY EVENTS. THAT WAS GOOD NEWS. 
          SIMILARLY TO PRIVATELY ORGANIZED EVENTS. 
          SO PRIVATELY ORGANIZED, A CHURCH, SCHOOL OR BUSINESS AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE, THE ORGANIZER WILL CONTACT THE CITY OF CARROLLTON, FILL OUT A SPECIAL EVENT PERMISSION. PROVIDE THE DIFFERENT FOOD VENDORS WHO ARE ATTENDING AND AS WITH THE CITY EVENTS, IF THEY HAVE A STATE PERMIT UNDER THE NEW BILL, THEY DON'T NEED ADDITIONAL HEALTH INSPECTIONS. WE WILL PROVIDE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT AND THEY ARE GOOD. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT EACH SITE IS LIMITED TO THREE OF THESE SPECIAL EVENTS PER YEAR. 
          CITY STAFF ONLY HAS SO MUCH THROUGHPUT TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THESE SPECIAL EVENTS AND WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A GOOD LIMIT AT THIS TIME. YES. 
          >> SO, LIMIT TO THREE EVENTS PER YEAR. 
          IS THAT PER PRIVATE EVENT? SO LET'S SAY SAM PACK FORD HAS THREE EVENTS AND A CHURCH LATER HIRES THAT SAME VENDOR AND HAS THREE EVENTS, ARE THEY ONLY ALLOWED TO DO THREE TOTAL BETWEEN ALL PRIVATE EVENTS OR BY? 
          >> THE LANDOWNER. >> CORRECT. 
          THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. IT'S BY ADDRESS. 
          SAM PACK FOUR CAN HAVE THREE. THE CHURCH CAN HAVE THREE AND IT 
          CAN BE THE SAME VENDOR. >> DOWNTOWN FINGERS COULD BE AT 
          NINE EVENTS. >> SO IF THEY HAVE THE STATE 
          [00:25:04]
PERMIT WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO AN IN INSPECTION. 
          IF THEY DON'T, YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A TEMPORARY. 
          IS THIS FOR THE LOCAL? THEIR PRIVATE EVENTS? JUST TALKING ABOUT PRIVATE EVENTS RIGHT NOW. 
          >> PRIVATELY ORGANIZED OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
          WE CURRENTLY DO AND WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM A HEALTH INSPECTION AS THEY'RE SETTING UP IF FOR THAT EVENT TO COMPLY WITH 
          HEALTH SAFETY CODES. >>  HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE? 
          >> DEPENDS ON THE VENDOR. THERE'S A STANDARD PERMIT APPLICATION FEE. GENERALLY $50 PER FOOD TRUCK OR 
          VENDOR >> OKAY AND SO THIS IS PER EVENT. SO EVERY TIME THEY DO A PRIVATE EVENT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TO THE INSPECTION FEE. 
          >> UNLESS THEY HAVE A STATE PERMIT. 
          THE STATE PERMIT PREEMPTS EVERYTHING. 
          >>  CORRECT. ALSO DEMONSTRATES THEY HAVE ALREADY COMPLIED WITH ALL OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS SO THEY DON'T NEED ANY ADDITIONAL 
          >> OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          >> SO ARE WE GOING TO FORESEE LIKE YOU KNOW DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE FOOD OPTIONS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANY SORT OF ENTRANCE FEE TO OPERATE AT THE SWITCH YARD OR OUR SPECIAL 
          EVENTS? >> THEY STILL HAVE TO BE INVITED 
          TO PARTICIPATE. >> THERE HAS TO BE A SPOT. 
          >> THEY HAVE TO BUY A SPOT. >> A BOOTH. 
          THEY HAVE TO HAVE A BOOTH OR SPACE. 
          >> SO LITERALLY NO CHANGE FOR THE EVENTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE 
          FOOD TRUCKS IN. >> ARE WE GOING TO SEE THEM POP UP. WE WILL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE. 
          >> THEY'RE ONLY RESTRICTED TO THE TRANSIT CENTER DISTRICT. 
          TODAY THEY COULD GO TO OUR TRANSIT CENTER AND SET UP. 
          >> I NEED TO FIND THE CONSTRUCTION CREW VENDORS. 
          ARE THOSE MOBILE FOOD VENDORS ALSO? 
          >> YEAH, LIKE THE ROACH COACHES. >> I WASN'T GOING TO CALL THEM 
          ROACH COACHES, MAYOR, >> I DID. 
          SHOWING MY AGE. >> ARE THOSE MOBILE FOOD 
          VENDORS. >> AND THEY GET INSPECTED BY US? 
          >> THEY PREVIOUSLY WERE AND ARE PREEMPTED NOW. 
          IN THE 2020 CHANGES THAT RESTRICTED THE FOOD TRUCKS ONLY TO THE TRANSIT CENTER, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE THEM IN INDUSTRIAL OR CONSTRUCTION ZONES ANY LONGER. THAT ALSO GOES FOR ICE CREAM TRUCKS THAT GO THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          >> WE'LL TALK ABOUT ADDITIONAL OPTIONS ON THAT. 
          >> FOR THE STATE APPROVAL, FOOD TRUCKS, WHAT PROTECTION DOES OUR RESIDENTS HAVE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG? DOES THAT MEAN WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING? 
          IF THEY HAVE FOOD >> STATE PERMIT. 
          >> OKAY. >> SO WHAT THAT PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE, WE WILL OFTEN BE THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT. 
          WE CAN'T PERMIT IT AND DON'T KNOW THE VENDORS. 
          WE WOULD REFER THEM BACK TO THE STATE SERVICES. 
          THEY WOULD LODGE THE HEALTH COMPLAINT WITH THEM AND OUR HOPE IS THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND DO ADDITIONAL HEALTH INSPECTIONS AND FOLLOW UP, BUT THE STATE HAS REQUESTED TO TAKE THAT PROCESS ON AND THEY'RE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. 
          BUYER BEWARE. >> I DID READ WHERE DHHS WILL COLLABORATE WITH CITIES IN ORDER TO DO THE INSPECTIONS. 
          ARE WE LOOKING AT DOING THAT? >> WE LOOKED INTO THAT. 
          THE CHALLENGE BEING THERE ARE AS OF A MONTH AGO WHEN I FIRST LOOKED INTO THIS. ONLY FOUR APPROVED ENTITIES THAT ARE PERFORMING INSPECTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE STATE. 
          SO TO BACK UP EVEN FURTHER, THE STATE DID PROVIDE A PROVISION IN THE BILL THE CITIES COULD SIGN ON AS PROXY INSPECTORS. 
          WITH THEIR ONLY BEING FOUR CITIES WITHIN DFW THAT ARE APPROVED AND I FORGET EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE. 
          ARLINGTON, DALLAS COUNTY AND A COUPLE OTHER COUNTIES, THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT WORKLOAD. AND FROM MY RESEARCH, I'M SHOWING THERE'S ABOUT 19,000 FOOD TRUCKS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WHERE I DON'T KNOW. BUT IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME THERE'S A COUPLE THOUSAND WITHIN DFW. AND IF WE SIGN THAT AGREEMENT WE MAYBE GETTING FOUR TO 500 FOOD TRUCKS THAT WE'RE EXPECTED TO 
          PERMIT WITH OUR SMALL TEAM. >> IT WOULD SEEM IT WOULD BE IN OUR BEST INTEREST, I'M JUST ASSUMING SINCE WE'RE HERE TO BE THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT AND TO BE ABLE TO ACTIVELY INVESTIGATE ANY INCIDENCES. JUST THINKING OUT LOUD. 
          I DON'T KNOW. >> YOU'RE GOING DO HAVE POLICY QUESTIONS DECISION POINTS AND MAYBE THAT'S ONE OF THEM. 
          [00:30:01]
AS WE GET DEEPER IN THE DISCUSSION HERE. 
          >> YEAH. I WILL SAY TO YOUR POINT, WE HAVE REVIEWED IT AND JUST BECAUSE OUR TEAM IS SO SMALL, WE ONLY HAVE THE FOUR SANITARIANS. ADDING A THIRD OF OUR EXISTING WORKLOAD ON TOP MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT TIME TO PURSUE THAT. 
          >> DO WE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT THAT POTENTIAL WORKLOAD COULD LOOK 
          LIKE? >> IT'S ALL SPECULATION. 
          THERE'S NO FIRM PERMIT LIST THAT THE STATE HAS SO THAT WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE THE FOOD TRUCKS ARE. 
          AGAIN THE ESTIMATE BEING 19,000 IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND WITH DALLAS BEING THE BIGGEST CITY, I'M SURE WE HAVE A FAIR SHARE. 
          >> COULD BE INTERESTING. BECAUSE I THINK LIKE TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. 
          FOR ANY TYPE OF FOOD POISONING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          >> ONE MORE QUESTION, SO DOES THAT APPLY TO THE WEEKLY FOOD VENDOR FAIR THAT WE HAVE IN THE PARKING LOT WITH CHILES AND THE FARMER'S MARKET? THERE'S FOOD SOLD THERE THAT'S 
          EVERY SUNDAY. >>  THAT FARMER'S MARKET IS HANDLED SEPARATELY. LAST I KNEW THEY DO HAVE FOOD TRUCKS OUT THERE. THOSE TRUCKS WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW STATE REQUIREMENTS. 
          WE WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED BEYOND OUR NORMAL FARMER'S MARKETS 
          INSPECTIONS. >> THEY WOULDN'T BE LIMITED TO THE THREE EVENTS ON THAT SAME PROPERTY AT THE SAME ADDRESS? 
          >> NO. THEY HAVE A SPECIAL DESIGNATION. 
          SO THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS A FARMER'S MARKET LOCATION. 
          THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM THE >> OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. >> OKAY. 
          LET'S GO ON. >> SO JUST TO RECAP. 
          CHAPTER 116. OUR CARROLLTON FOOD CODE. 
          OUR FOOD ESTABLISHMENT REQUIREMENT THAT IS ADDRESSES FOOD TRUCK AND OPERATIONS. WE KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL THINGS TO UPDATE PER THIS PREEMPTION. THAT WILL BE COMING BACK REGARDLESS OF WHAT DECISION IS MADE TONIGHT AND IN THE FUTURE. 
          IN ADDITION, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE WITH THE CZO. WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE RESTAURANT AND BREWERY REQUIREMENTS. AND THEN WE WILL HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL DECISIONS TO MAKE REGARDING THE CZO SPECIFICALLY. 
          >> >> THE LARGEST CHALLENGE BEING WHEREVER WE ALLOW FOOD TRUCKS TO OPERATE BY ZONING DISTRICT, WE LOSE ALL OF OUR LOCAL AUTHORITY ON WHERE THEY CAN GO AND HOW MANY CAN BE THERE. AND WHAT HOURS THEY OPERATE. 
          SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE THREE OPTIONS AS OUR FIRST PASS AT THIS CONVERSATION TONIGHT. OPTION ONE MOBILE FOOD COURT. 
          I THINK THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS WOULD BE LIKE TRUCK YARD IN THE COLONY OR DALLAS WHERE IT'S A DESIGNATED AREA THAT WOULD GO THROUGH AN SUP PROCESS AND HAVE A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF FOOD TRUCKS. THAT INDIVIDUAL OR THAT FOOD TRUCK COURT COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. 
          IT'S PRIVATELY MANAGED. PRIVATELY ORGANIZED. 
          WE JUST SET THE LIMITS. BOX THEM IN, IN THAT REGARD AND ALLOW THEM TO OPERATE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THEIR SUP PERMIT. 
          IF WE GO THAT ROUTE, WE COULD ELIMINATE FOOD VENDORS FROM ALL OTHER DISTRICTS EXEMPT FOR THESE FOOD COURTS. 
          THAT WAY WE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. HOW MANY ARE THERE AND GIVES US A LITTLE LOCAL AUTHORITY ON PREVENTING THE MARSH AND ROSEMEAD GAS STATION SITUATION. OPTION TWO, WE COULD ALLOW THEM IN CERTAIN DISTRICTS. SAY IF WE'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT FOOD TRUCKS SETTING UP SHOP IN THE COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL AREAS, WE ALLOW THEM TO GO TO THE PLACES. 
          WE ARE REQUIRED TO BE FAIRLY HANDS OFF BUT THAT IS ONE OPTION WE CAN DO. LAST OF COURSE, WE CAN REMOVE ALL ZONING RESTRICTIONS AND FOOD TRUCKS CAN GO AND VEND IN ANY PART OF THE CITY. OF COURSE THAT'S AN OPTION. 
          >> SO, THIS IS HELPFUL. THE RESTRICTION FOR OPTION ONE DOESN'T APPLY TO SPECIAL EVENTS. SPECIAL EVENTS IS EXCLUDED FROM THESE OPTIONS. THAT HAS ITS OWN THING IN WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE ESTABLISHED RULES. 
          >> EXACTLY. NO CHANGES TO THAT. 
          JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. YOU BROUGHT UP ROSEMEAD AND MARSH WHICH IS CLOSE TO MY HEART. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT VALERO AND THE GAS STATION IS ACTUALLY 
          IN THE CITY OF DALLAS. >> IT IS. 
          >> SO THAT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING WE WOULD ABLE TO REGULATE AT ALL. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. 
          >> JUST A REFERENCE. >> I COULD HAVE MADE THAT MORE CLEAR. EVERYTHING ON THE SOUTH SIDE IS 
          CITY OF DALLAS. >> YOU GOT MY HOPES UP COREY. 
          [00:35:04]
THAT WAS A SILVER BULLET WE COULD GO INTO DALLAS AND DO THAT. THAT'S CITY OF DALLAS. 
          >> CORRECT. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY, WE HAD A LOT OF E-MAIL EXCHANGES WITH COUNCILMEMBER MENDELSON AND MAYOR JOHNSON ON THAT CORNER. WE COMMITTED TO SHARE WHEREVER WE LAND ON THIS. THIS PRESENTATION SO THEY MIGHT MODEL SIMILAR ACTIONS BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY 
          INTERSECTION. >> INDEED. 
          >> FOR GET THE FOOD PERMITS AND SO FORTH. 
          IT'S JUST VIOLATION OF PARKING, IT'S JUST UNSAFE. 
          SO I'M, WE'RE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. 
          >> WHICH IS MY MAIN CONCERN. I'M GLAD I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH COUNCILMEMBER MENDELSON AS WELL. 
          CERTAINLY NOT WITH THE MAYOR. BUT, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. 
          LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE ON THAT. 
          AND THEN MY LAST COMMENT HERE TOO WITH OPTION 1, IS THAT IF YOU PLEASE GO BACK TO THE MAP AGAIN. 
          ONE MORE TIME. WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR ON CURRENT LOCATIONS. SO, BECAUSE THE COLOR CODING ISN'T JIVING. YOU HAVE THE BLUE AREAS ZONED 
          FOR FOOD TRUCKS IS THAT CORRECT? >> CORRECT. 
          >> DOWNTOWN CARROLLTON THERE'S NO BLUE. 
          >> YEAH, MAYBE A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLUE. 
          THIS IS OUR DOWNTOWN WHERE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GO. 
          >> JUST THOSE THREE AREAS ARE THE ONLY CURRENTLY ZONED FOR 
          FOOD TRUCKS, CORRECT. >> AND OPTION TWO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SELECT OR KEEP THE SAME OR REDUCE THE NUMBER, WE'RE AT LIBERTY TO LOOK AT THAT FROM ZONING. 
          >> THAT'S OPTION TWO. >> SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. 
          LET ME BACK UP. WE COULD ADD MOBILE FOOD COURTS IN THE USE MATRIX. SO IF SOMEONE WANTED TO APPLY THROUGH THE SUP PROCESS, IT COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. 
          COUNCIL WOULD HAVE THAT OVER SIGHT AND APPROVAL PROCESS TO ALLOW THEM TO OPERATE. ONCE WE SET THE PARAMETERS, WE 
          CAN BE RELATIVELY HANDS OFF. >> JUST I WILL MAKE ONE FINAL COMMENT. I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF RESTRICTING THE AREAS OF FOOD TRUCKS FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT. 
          IDENTIFYING A CERTAIN ZONE OR PERHAPS ZONES FOR FOOD TRUCKS AND I LIKE THE IDEA OF REQUIRING THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT. 
          THAT GIVES BOTH STAFF P&Z AND COUNCIL OVER SIGHT AND A BIT OF CONTROL WHERE THE STATE NOW HAS MORE CONTROL OVER ISSUING THE PERMITS. WE KEEP CONTROL OVER THE LOCATION AND SIZE OF THE ACCESS FOR THOSE PERMITTED VEHICLES. 
          AM I STATING THAT CORRECTLY? >> YOU ARE STATING THAT CORRECTLY. THAT WOULD BE MY FEEDBACK. 
          >> SO AGAIN JUST TO BE CLEAR. YOU CAN DO OPTION ONE AND TWO. 
          THEY CAN COEXIST. >> THAT'S WHAT -- 
          >> IT'S OPTION THREE, IF YOU DO OPTION THREE, YOU'RE EFFECTIVELY 
          NEGATING OPTION ONE AND TWO. >> YOU COULD STILL DO ONE. 
          YOU REALLY CAN'T DO TWO AND THREE. 
          >> OKAY. AND JUST BE CLEAR FOR US, WOODLAKE. WE HAVE THESE PARKING PLACES FOR IT AND SO FORTH. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD FIT INTO OPTION TWO. IS THAT FAIR? IT'S OPTION TWO FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. 
          >> CORRECT, BECAUSE THAT'S CITY-OWNED PROPERTY -- EXACTLY. 
          >> SO THAT FALLS INTO SPECIAL EVENTS. 
          >> THEY JUST COME UP THERE OUTSIDE OF A CITY EVENT, PARK 
          AND SERVE FOOD? >> NO. 
          WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO KEEP THEM OFF CITY PROPER ANYWHERE. 
          >> SAME WITH TRINITY MILLS. >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION GOING BACK TO INSPECTIONS. REGARDLESS OF IF IT'S A STATE REGISTERED OR NOT. IF SOMEONE FROM OUR CITY SAID I GOT SICK. GONE THERE TWICE. 
          I KEEP GETTING SICK. ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO GO IN AT 
          THAT POINT IN TIME AND INSPECT? >> WE ARE NOT. 
          >> UNLESS WE ARE IN AN AGREEMENT. 
          ALL OF THAT AUTHORITY GOES TO THE STATE. 
          >> MY CONCERN WITH THE AGREEMENT THOUGH IS WE'RE NO LONGER GETTING THE BROADER LICENSES FEE IF WE DID THIS AGREEMENT. 
          THAT MEANS WE WOULD BE FORCED TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE BUT WE NO LONGER HAVE THE SAME FUNDS THAT WE HAD BEFORE. 
          SO DOES THAT -- >> THEY DO REIMBURSE US. 
          >> THERE'S A FLAT RATE THEY REIMBURSE PER INSPECTION. 
          WE WOULD BE TAKING ON WORKLOAD FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          WE COULD BE GETTING ALL OF CITY OF DALLAS. 
          >> WE COULD GET THOUSANDS OF THEM AND WE DON'T HAVE THE 
          PERSONNEL TO DO THAT. >> HOW IS THAT? 
          >> BECAUSE THE STATE JUST SENDS THE LIST TO THOSE WITH THE 
          [00:40:03]
AGREEMENT AND BECAUSE IT'S A STATE PERMIT, IT COULD BE SAN 
          ANTONIO. >> YOU'RE BASICALLY BE DEPUTIZED TO BE THAT ENFORCEMENT BODY BECAUSE AGAIN -- 
          >> NOW YOU'RE UNDER THEIR THUMB. >> THEY PASSED LEGISLATION AND 
          THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. >> NOW WE CAN DO ONE BY ONE IN CARROLLTON. THAT $50 FEE. 
          WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >> FOR SPECIAL EVENTS ONLY. 
          IF THERE'S A FOOD TRUCK THAT WANTS TO OPERATE IN CARROLLTON, IT WOULD BE AT A BUSINESS THEY'RE HOSTING, THEN WE CAN DO 
          THAT. >> AND IF THEY DON'T ALREADY 
          HAVE THE STATE PERMIT >> OUR CURRENT EVENTS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS IS. UNLESS THEY HAVE A STATE INSPECTION IN WHICH CASE THEY DON'T PAY THAT PIECE. 
          THE OPTION ONE, THE NICE THING ABOUT OPTION ONE WHETHER TRUCK YARD AND COLONY, GIVES US AN OPTION WE DON'T HAVE. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A ZONED PLACE AND IT DOESN'T MEAN WE WOULD PICK A ZONED PLACE TONIGHT TO SAY THAT ONE AND THAT ONE. 
          IT'S A DIRECTION FOR YOU ALL STAFF TO PERHAPS COME BACK TO US 
          WITH THESE AREAS FOR IT. >> I THOUGHT A PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE TO COME TO US AND REQUEST THAT. 
          THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I YOU SAY. 
          >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> I'M NOT GOING TO DESIGNATE OPTION ONE AHEAD OF TIME. SOMEBODY HAS TO COME TO ME. 
          >> LET ME FINISH. THE POINT IS, ALL WE'RE SUGGESTING TONIGHT IS THAT, THAT IS AN OPTION TO THE TABLE. 
          IF NOBODY COMES, WE NEVER HAVE ONE. 
          THE TRUCK YARD, A PRIVATE INVESTMENT WOULD COME TO US AND COME TO YOU. THIS HAS PARKING AND TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS. IT'S ALL THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT SHOULD GO INTO A LAND USE CONSIDERATION. 
          >> THAT'S CORRECT. >>  IF I MAY, I WILL JUMP AHEAD BRIEFLY HERE. THAT IS A MODEL THAT A FEW CITIES HAD PREVIOUSLY ALREADY ADOPTED. 
          WE HAD DONE BENCHMARKING. FOOD TRUCK COURTS GRAND PRAIRIE AND LEWISVILLE HAVE BEAT US TO PUNCH. 
          OPTION TWO IS LIKE YOU INDICATED THERE. 
          IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE STRIKE IT FROM THE TRANSIT CENTER GIVEN SOME OF THE CONTROL ISSUES OR NO? 
          >> MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE PUSH FOR IT. ANY NUMBER OF FOOD TRUCKS COULD SHOW UP DOWNTOWN AS LONG AS THEY ARE LEGAL PARKED. 
          WE HAVE VERY LITTLE TO GET THEM TO MOVE ON. 
          >> THE CZO HAS TO BE AMENDED. IF WE DO OPTION TWO TO ALLOW IN CERTAINLY DISTRICTS. COULD BE DISTRICT 35 AS WELL. 
          >> CORRECT >> THEY ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN THOSE DISTRICTS BASED ON PARAMETERS. 
          >> THAT'S CORRECT. >>  PARAMETERS WE DON'T HAVE 
          CONTROL OVER. >> WE HAVEN'T EVEN DEFINED YET. 
          WE DO HAVE CONTROL. WE JUST HAVEN'T DEFINED THEM. 
          >> WE HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL ON THE TRANSIT CENTER DISTRICTS BECAUSE THEY'RE CURRENTLY ALLOWED THERE AND THE STATE 
          PREEMPTED US ON MOST. >> IF YOU HAD 100 TRUCKS WITH 100 PARKING SPACES IN TRINITY MILLS AND 100 TRUCKS TO SHOW UP. 
          THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO TELL YOU NO IS MY UNDERSTANDING. 
          HOWEVER IN OPTION ONE, YOU HAVE WAY MORE CONTROL OVER THAT. 
          IT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO P&Z. >> I DISAGREE. 
          IF I HAVE A HUNDRED PARKING PLACES AND PUT A HUNDRED TRUCKS IN THERE. I DON'T HAVE PARKING FOR ANYBODY ELSE AND THAT'S A REQUIREMENT. THIS HAS TO BE ENOUGH PARKING. 
          I'M A FAN OF OPTION TWO AND OPTION 1. 
          I DO NOT THINK OPTION ONE, I CAN'T JUST THINK IN MY MIND RIGHT NOW WHERE THERE'S GREAT PLACES TO DO OPTION ONE AND LIKE THE CONTROL. WE CAN CONSIDER REMOVING THE TRANSIT CENTER FROM OPTION TWO. WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP IT THERE. 
          THERE'S A DISCUSSION WE CAN HAVE. 
          WE CAN JUST SAY WE WANT TO COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FOR EXAMPLE AND REMOVE FROM THE TRANSIT CENTER SO YOU DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE BOTH OPTION 1 AND TWO GIVE US THE MOST FLEXIBILITY RIGHT NOW. 
          >> I AGREE. >> I THINK IT'S CERTAINLY A VALID POINT WITH THE PARKING. THEN, I HAVE A WHOLE OTHER SLEW OF QUESTIONS THEN. HOW IS THAT PARKING THEN REGULATED? SO IF YOU HAVE TRINITY MILLS THEY HAVE A MYRIAD OF PARKING PLACE. 
          YOU HAVE FOOD TRUCKS. WHO IS COUNTING THE PARKING PL PLACES? WHO IS MAKING SURE THERE'S NOT TOO MANY FOOD TRUCKS? I DON'T THINK THE FOOD TRUCK IS GOING TO LOOK AT THAT TO FIGURE OUT BEFORE THEY SHOW UP. THEY MIGHT SHOW UP AT ONCE OR 
          [00:45:04]
STAGGER AND LEAVE AT DIFFERENT TIMES. 
          I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT REGULATING THAT AS A CITY THAN I AM NECESSARILY LOOKING AT IT FROM A CAN THEY OR CAN THEY NOT DO IT. SO THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN. 
          I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE CITY IF OPTION TWO IS SOMETHING WE ALL AGREE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ON. THEN HOW WOULD THAT BE REGULATED FROM A PARKING STANDPOINT AND WHAT REGULATORY, WHAT WOULD THAT CHANGE AS FAR AS OUR OVERSIGHT AND HOW WOULD WE ENFORCE THE PARKING RESTRICTIONS WITHIN A DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY 
          TC? >> THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. 
          WE KIND OF HAVE TWO DIFFERENT FRAMES OF THOUGHT. 
          SPECIFIC TO COMMERCIAL. SO, I THINK ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WOULD BE MOST INTERESTED IN DOING A SMALL FOOD TRUCK WOULD BE LIKE H MART. HOWEVER WE KNOW THEY'RE PRETTY WELL AT CAPACITY FOR PARKING. SO THAT ONE IS MORE SELF LIMITING. WAL-MART AND LOWES HAVE WAY MORE PARKING THAN I'M SURE THEY NEED. I DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ON THAT. BUT IF WAL-MART OR LOWES WANTED TO SELL OR LEASE PARKING TO ANY NUMBER OF FOOD TRUCKS AS LONG AS THEY'RE STILL WITHIN THAT MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACE, THAT'S AN AREA WE COULD SEE FOOD TRUCKS WHERE WE WEREN'T 
          PARTICIPATING. >>  WHAT ABOUT YOUR VALWOOD 
          DISTRICT? >> VALWOOD DISTRICT SPECIFIC TO INDUSTRIAL. BECAUSE OF THE SELFLIMITER IS THE HOURS OF OPERATION AND THE LACK OF FOOT TRUNK. 
          MOST OF OUR INDUSTRIAL FOOD TRUCKS THAT WE PREVIOUSLY HAD ARE GOING FOR FOLKS ON THEIR LUNCH BREAKS TO SERVE FOOD TO THE EMPLOYEES AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LOCATION. 
          I HAVE NOT SEEN OR HEARD FOOD TRUCKS THAT WANT TO SET UP SHOP BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF BUSINESS ONCE THOSE PLACES 
          CLOSED. >> YEP. 
          >> I'M LEAD LEANING TOWARDS OPTION ONE ONLY BECAUSE OF MY LIMITED UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS WOULD GIVE US MORE CONTROL BUT IT WOULD ALSO, WE'D HAVE TO GET SOMEONE TO PROVIDE US WITH AN SUP FOR THAT USE OF WHATEVER LAND THEY CHOOSE. 
          BUT UNTIL THAT'S DONE, THEY CAN'T EMPLOY AND OF THE FOOD TRUCKS THERE. THEY WOULD BE IN A HOLDING TANK WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO COME UP WITH A MOBILE FOOD COURT. 
          >> THAT'S A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. 
          SOMEONE HAS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY AND WANT TO HAVE A MOBILE FOOD COURT THERE. IT GOES THROUGH THE NORMAL P&Z PROCESS. THIS IS NOW AN SUP. 
          >> BUT IN THAT SENSE, THEY WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO SAY OKAY, WITH LIMITED SPACE I CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE 20 TRUCKS AND I HAVE THIS MUCH SPACE FOR PARKING. AND THAT'S IT. 
          THEN YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE UP TO THEIR BUSINESS CASE TO ROTATE 
          THOSE FOOD TRUCKS. >> WE ALSO WOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK 
          AT TRAFFIC AROUND THAT. >> ALL THE ZONING ISSUES. 
          >> THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE ZONING ISSUE TO RAISE IF THERE'S ADEQUATE ASSESS AND TRAFFIC VIABILITY. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULDN'T BE IN FAVOR OF DOING OPTION ONE. 
          WE WILL ASSESS THOSE AS THEY COME. 
          YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTION FOR STAFF OUGHT TO BE. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT, SURE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A TRUCK YARD. 
          NOT SURE WHERE OR IF IT WILL EVER COME. 
          I LOVE IT. OPTION TWO, TO ME IS THE REAL QUESTION TO SAY, IS THERE, AND I THINK OPTION THREE IS A NO-BRAINER. I THINK THAT'S WILD WEST. 
          OPTION TWO IS REALLY TO ME THE QUESTION FOR THE TABLE IS, BASED ON SOME OF THE QUESTIONS YOU RAISED AND BASED ON THE QUESTIONS YOU RAISED, CAN STAFF EDUCATE US MORE IN TERMS OF WHAT RULES OR PARKING, WHAT ZONING CAN BE ZONING APPOINTS OR CRITERIA CAN BE ELABORATED ON IN OUR ZONING DISTRICTS APPROVED THAT WOULD GIVE THESE GUYS THE COMFORT THERE'S CONTROLS? OTHERWISE IT'S ALSO WILD WEST IN THOSE DISTRICTS. 
          >> YEAH. MAYOR IF I CAN SAY, THE COUNCIL, IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE OPTION 2 AND ONLY CHOOSE OPTION ONE, UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO US WITH THAT, YOU HAVE EFFECTIVELY 
          BANNED THESE FROM OUR CITY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 
          >> I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT. I THINK WE'RE A BUSINESS-FRIENDLY CITY. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE BANNING AN ENTIRE GROUP OF BUSINESSES. 
          >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS SAM PACK AND THE CHURCH CAN STILL HAVE 
          THEIR SPECIAL EVENTS. >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S AN ENTREPRENEUR -- 
          >> MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOBILE FOOD VENDOR SERVING LUNCH 
          [00:50:04]
TRAFFIC, ARE THEY PERMITTED TODAY? 
          >> THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED BY THE CITY EVEN BEFORE THIS. 
          I'M SORRY, THEY MAY PURSUE A PERMIT. 
          THE REAL CHALLENGE IS BACK IN 2020, WE RESTRICTED THEM TO THE TRANSIT CENTER ONLY. THEY SHOULD NOT BE VENDING TO THE CONSTRUCTION ZONES. NOW AT THAT TIME AND REALLY TILL TRUE TODAY, WE HAVE A LOT LESS CONSTRUCTION ZONES THAN IN THE PAST. SO THE DEMAND HAS LOWERED. 
          >> BUT THEY STILL GO TO WAREHOUSE AREAS AND SERVE THOSE WORKERS OFTENTIMES CIRCULATE THROUGH THERE. 
          >> THEY SHOULD NOT BE. >> DO THEY? 
          WE DON'T KNOW. >> I'M SAYING, WELL, YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT BANNING THEM. TODAY WE'RE BANNING THEM. 
          >> THAT'S THE QUESTION. AND JASON PUT IT RIGHT. 
          DO WE REALLY WANT TO BE BANNING A TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT HAS CAUGHT ON TO THE TUNE YOU HAVE COURTS TRUCK YARDS WHICH BY THE WAY, THOSE COULD BE PORTABLE TOO. 
          THE TRUCK YARD IS PERMANENT TO A DEGREE. 
          IMAGINE HAVING SOMETHING THAT HAS PLUG AND PLAY FOOD TRUCKS FIVE ONES ARE THERE FOR EVERY DIFFERENT WEEKEND. 
          THOSE ARE OPTIONS THE MARKET WILL DECIDE IF THAT'S A VIABLE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. SO, DO WE REALLY. 
          THAT'S TO ME, BACK TO NUMBER TWO, I THINK THIS COUNCIL SHOULD DEEM ARE WE INTERESTED IN BANNING IT OR NOT? 
          AND I -- I ECHO WHAT HE SAID. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD CHARACTERIZE IT AS BAN FOOD TRUCKS IN THE ACCESS TO FOOD TRUCKS TO CITY. I WOULD CHARACTERIZE WE HAVE RESTRICTIONS FOR FOOD TRUCKS. THEY BE ALIGNED TO AN EVENT OR PROPER ZONING. THAT HAS GONE THROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING. I'M HESITANT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE LOCATION AND WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          I DO KNOW AND I WOULD SUGGEST ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT OR SEEING AN EXAMPLE OF THAT, GO ON A TUESDAY NIGHT AT ROSEMEAD AND HEBRON AND LOOK FROM TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS. 
          THE MASSIVE CROWDS RIGHT NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA. 
          THERE'S LOTS OF PROBLEMS. I SUGGEST IF WE WERE TO ENTERTAIN OPTION TWO, I'M NOT 100% AGAINST BUT I WOULD CERTAINLY WANT US TO SCRUTINIZE A LOCATION TO MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE. IT IS NOT INTRUDING ON THE RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES THAT SURROUND IT. 
          >> THAT'S THE DIRECTION I'M LOOKING FOR TO HOPEFULLY GIVE BACK TO STAFF. WE'RE NOT MAKING A FINAL GO, NO GO TONIGHT. WE SHOULDN'T BE QUOTED IN THE NEWS TO SAY CARROLLTON IS CONSIDERING BANNING FOOD TRUCKS. 
          WE SHOULD FOCUSING ON THE INTERSECTION WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          IT'S A BAD SITUATION AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH DALLAS TO FIX THAT ON THEIR SIDE OF THE STREET OF THE I THINK MY SUGGESTION IS WE GIVE STAFF, YOU ASKED VALID QUESTIONS. 
          IT'S ON TAPE. THEY WILL REVIEW AND COME BACK TO US WITH SOME OF THE ANSWERS THAT HOPEFULLY ALLOW YOU TO MAKE A MORE INFORMED DECISION TWO. THAN ONLY OPTION ONE. 
          >> IF I MAY, I HAVE AN ADDITIONAL WRINKLE I NEED TO THROW IN AS WELL. WE DO ALSO HAVE THE OPTION TO DO SOMETHING CALLED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD VENDING. 
          WHERE WE ONLY ALLOW A CERTAIN PERMIT TYPE IN A CERTAIN DISTRICT. WE COULD ZONE RESIDENTIAL TO ALLOW ICE CREAM TRUCKS ONLY. SO BAN THE TACO TRUCK AND PIZZA TRUCK AND ALLOW THE ICE CREAM TRUCKS IN A RESIDENTIAL OR 
          COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL. >>  THAT'S AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE IS THE LITTLE ICE CREAM TRUCK AND CART. 
          BUT THEN ALSO FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD NIGHT OUTS. 
          >> THE SNOW CONES GUYS MAKING THE ROUNDS. 
          KONA ICE. HOT DOGS. 
          SO. I THINK WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF 
          ALL OF THAT. >> THESE ARE GOOD ADD ONES DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS TO LOOK AT OPTION TWO IN HOW THAT WOULD WORK AND HOW YOU RECOMMEND IT WORKING. TRANSIT OR INDUSTRIAL 
          COMMERCIAL? >> MY INCLINATION IS START WITH OPTION ONE AND CRACK THE DOOR AND SEE WHERE THE DEMAND IS FOR OPTION TWO WITHOUT BARN DOOR OPENING. 
          >> SO, I THINK, GOT IT. >> I'M GOING TO CALL SINCE IT JUST GOT MODIFIED SLIGHTLY. I'M CALLING FOR OPTION ONE THINK OPTION TWO STAFF COME BACK WITH MORE INFORMATION TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE DECIDE AGAINST IT. 
          [00:55:02]
          >> AND PERHAPS LOCATION OPTIONS AS WELL FOR OPTION TWO. 
          >> TO YOUR POINT, MAYOR, WE COULD DECIDE ONCE THEY COME BACK WITH US THAT OPTION ONE IS THE ONLY OPTION. 
          >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. >> WE MAY LAND WHERE NANCY THROUGH OUT A WRINKLE. I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE A 
          CONVERSATION HERE. >> ONE TWO, THREE, YOU GOT YOUR 
          >> YEP. APPRECIATE THAT. 
          >> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. >> YES PLEASE. 
          >> DO WE HAVE ANY TIME LIMITS ON SPECIAL EVENTS? LIKE SAY, I'M GOING TO HAVE A PARTY SOMEWHERE AND I WANT TO GET A VENDOR. DO I HAVE TO ASK IN ADVANCE IF 
          THEY DON'T HAVE STATE LICENSE. >> STATE LICENSE THEY CAN COME AS PRIVATE EVENT. THEY DON'T HAVE STATE LICENSE, CAN THEY COME TO A PRIVATE EVENT? IF SO, WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME THAT YOU NEED TO BE NOTIFIED OF 
          IT? >> SO THERE'S A COUPLE QUESTIONS IN THERE. THE CITY OF CARROLLTON ONLY HAS BEEN INVOLVED AND INSPECTED PUBLIC EVENTS. 
          WHERE ANYONE OFF THE STREET CAN ARRIVE AND GET FOOD. 
          IF IT'S A PRIVATE EVENT. A BIRTHDAY PARTY OR WEDDING. 
          I CAN'T WALK UP TO THE WEDDING AND EXPECT TO BE SERVED FROM THE TACO TRUCK THEY HAVE. WE HAVE NOT REGULATED THOSE AND WE WOULD CONTINUE TO NOT REGULATE A PRIVATE EVENT. 
          >> THANK YOU. THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. >> OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU. 
          >> WE WILL HEAR BACK FROM YOU AT A FUTURE MEETING. 
          THAT TAKES US TO ITEM 5. BRIEFING ON OUR COMMUNICATION PLAN FOR UPCOMING MAJOR ROADWAY PROJECTS. 
          THIS SHOULD BE PRETTY BRIEF, RIGHT? 
          >> GOOD EVENING, JONATHAN WHEAT, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING. 
          WE WERE ASKED TO BRING COMMUNICATION PLANS FOR OUR MAJOR ROADWAY PROJECTS UPCOMING. A LITTLE BACKGROUND. 
          WE HAVE THREE MAJOR PROJECTS COMING UP. 
          FRANKFORD ROAD FROM I-35 AND THE EASTERN MOST SECTION OUT FOR BID CURRENTLY. AND SCHEDULED TO START CONSTRUCTION EARLY NEXT YEAR. HEBRON PARKWAY IS SPLIT INTO THREE SECTIONS. PLAN TO BE BID OUT EARLY NEXT YEAR AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION AFTER THAT. 
          AND ROSEMEAD IS THE ONE THAT'S ONE SECTION BUT YOU IT'S A LITTLE BIT DELAYED TO HAVING HEBRON GOING TO CONSTRUCTION. 
          PREVIOUS COMMUNICATIONS WE HAVE DONE. 
          WE HELD A PUBLIC MEETING ON HEBRON AND FRANKFORD AT THE ROSEMEAD REC CENTER. OUR MARKETING TEAM HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT A MAJOR COMMUNICATION CALL THE ROAD AHEAD. IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED ON THE HORIZON NEWS LETTER. DOING A MULTICHANNEL MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO ALERT THE RESIDENTS OF THE BONDS IN CARROLLTON. 
          SO FAR AS I MENTIONED, IT'S BEEN FEATURED IN THE NOVEMBER EDITION OF ON THE HORIZON AND ON THE CITY'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT WEB PAGE. INCLUDED PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS. 
          A STATIC MAP AND ANIMATED MAP THAT MARKETING CREATED AND IN STATE OF CITY PRESENTATION LAST WEEK. 
          SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? HERE'S AN IMAGE OF THE GRAPHIC WE HAVE POSTED THE STATIC IMAGE AND ALSO HAVE THE MOVIE, THE ANIMATED IMAGE ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WEB PAGE. 
          WE INCLUDED EXPLANATIONS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PROCESSES OF DESIGN OR OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT. 
          AND THEN THIS IS JUST AN ANIMATION SHOWING HOW TO GET TO THE DROP DOWN AND INFORMATION WE HAVE ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WEB PAGE. IF YOU GO TO ENGINEERING, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, MAJOR ARTERIAL PROJECTS AND OUR ANIMATED SCREEN. OUR PROJECT MANAGER AND CONTACT INFORMATION. AND CURRENTLY EXISTING ON OUR WEB PAGE. FUTURE COMMUNICATION. 
          THAT'S ALL PAST STUFF. HOW DO WE GET MORE INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC? OUR MARKETING TEAM HAS UPDATED COMMUNICATION INCLUDING A ROLLING NEWS MEDIA. 
          HITTING THE BIG SOCIAL MEDIA TYPES OUT THERE. 
          SERIES OF SHORT INFORMATIVE VIDEOS RELEASED OVER EVERY THREE, FOUR WEEKS WHICH USED EDUCATION-BASED FORMAT. 
          THESE VIDEOS COVER BOND ELECTION. 
          WHETHER-RELATED IMPACTS ON ROADWAYS. 
          OVERVIEW OF THE MAJOR ROADWAY PROJECTS AND INFORMATION WILL CONTINUE ON THE CITY CABLE CHANNEL. 
          THAT'S THE MARKETING PLANS WE HAVE GOING. 
          WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT PROJECT-SPECIFIC. 
          [01:00:04]
YOU HAVE A HEBRON PARKWAY PAGE. FRANKFORD AND ROSEMEAD. 
          ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE BID PROCESS ON EACH SECTION, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING WITH OUR CONTRACTORS TO PLAN OUT THE SCHEDULE OF THE PROJECTS. 
          WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE IS FINDING THE BEST AND FASTEST WAY TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT ON THE LEAST IMPACT ON RESIDENTS. 
          WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET UNTIL WE GET WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND DISCUSS THIS. THAT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE ANYONE GOES OUT TO THE SITE AND BEGINS CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO, ONCE WE DO THAT, THAT WILL HELP GUIDE US AS FAR AS OUR SCHEDULE GOES. AND THEN DURING CONSTRUCTION, WE ARE EVALUATING OUR WORKING WITH ELLIOT REEF ON HIS COMMUNICATION TOOL TO BE ABLE TO HAVE RESIDENTS SIGN UP FOR TEXT ALERTS. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TEXT HEBRON PARKWAY TO THE NUMBER AND SIGN UP FOR TEXT ALERTS ON THAT PROJECT OR FRANKFORD ROAD AND SEND OUT PROJECT-SPECIFIC TEXT ALERT FIST YOU CHOOSE TO SELECT THEM. 
          OR E-MAIL ALERTS. WE HAVE A LIST AND HAVE FOUR SIGN UP SO FAR. NOT A LOT ON THAT END, BUT WE DO HAVE IT OUT THERE. AND THOSE WILL JUST BE ALL THE SAME ALERTS. IF YOU SIGN UP FOR E-MAIL AND TEXT, YOU WILL GET IT TWICE. AS WELL AS MAJOR UPDATES THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE PROJECT, YOU WILL BE SEEING DIFFERENT ALERTS POSTED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. AND THEN AS ALWAYS OUR BEHIND THE BUILD PROGRESS UPDATES AND VIDEOS. 
          AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION, WE WILL MAKE SURE TO HAVE VIDEOS OF PROGRESS. SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WHERE WE'RE GOING AND HOW THE PROJECT IS GOING, COMING ALONG. 
          SO. I KNOW THIS IS BRIEF AND A LOT OF INFORMATION BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH ALL THESE AND GETTING 
          READY TO GO. >> YEAH, THIS WAS JUST THE PLAN AGAIN. WE ASKED THEM TO COME BACK AND BRIEF YOU ALL IN TERMS OF WHAT TO EXPECT. 
          WHILE WE KNOW THE HIGH-LEVEL PROJECT PLAN AS YOU HAVE SAID IN TERMS OF THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN WHEN IT STARTS AND ENDS. 
          BUT THERE'S A LOT OF MARKETING THAT NEEDS TO BE AND STORY TELLING THAT HAS TO BE TOLD IN ADVANCE. 
          >> COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP THAT SHOWS THE TIME FRAME. 
          IN MY OPINION, WHAT CONCERNS ME, WE HAVE TWO MAJOR ROADS THAT POSSIBLY WILL BE OVER LAPPING TO OUR MAJOR HIGHWAYS. 
          DO YOU PROJECT THAT AND IF SO, IS THAT PART OF YOUR COMMUNICATION? IF HEBRON IS CLOSED TO 121 AND FRANKFORD IS GOING ON. WE COULD HAVE DRIVERS NOT SAYING 
          NICE THINGS. >>  THAT WILL BE PART OF OUR COMMUNICATION PLAN TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING AND AS WELL WORKING WITH WAZE WILL ALLOW US TO SEND AN UPDATE SAYING WE HAVE THIS SECTION OF THE ROAD CLOSED OR DETOURS. 
          TO HELP GET PEOPLE THROUGH DIFFERENT RESTRICTION AREAS. 
          >> WHAT IS YOUR EXPECTATION FOR EACH OF THESE THREE YEARS? 
          TWO YEARS? >> SO WE HAVE FRANKFORD ROAD, OUR GOAL IS TO DO IN ABOUT A YEAR. 
          AS FAR AS THE FIRST SECTION. AND THEN THE NEXT SECTION IS ABOUT A LITTLE LONGER THAN A YEAR. 
          SO WE HAVE GOT OUR START AND END DATES UP HERE ON THIS TIMELINE. 
          SO IT WILL, SOME WILL TAKE LONGER BECAUSE THERE'S MORE PAVEMENT OR UTILITIES. SOME WILL TAKE LESS TIME BECAUSE WE EXPECT LESS ISSUES. TO ARISE FROM IT. 
          >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AXBERG. 
          >> ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS ASKED AS FAR AS SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          JUST MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF YOUR MAP APPS THAT SOCIAL MAP APPS WILL HAVE THAT INFORMATION. THAT WILL BE SUPER HELPFUL. 
          JUST A COUPLE DETAILED QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MARKETING PLAN. 
          FROM A SOCIAL MEDIA PERSPECTIVE, IS ALL OF THAT GOING TO BE HAVE A LEVEL OF TARGETING THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA? IS IT TARGETED SPECIFICALLY TO ZIP CODE OR OR CITY ADDRESS. THERE'S SHE IS. 
          KELLY LOUIS. IT DEPENDS AS IT'S GOING THROUGH. IT'S NOT TARGETED TO EVERYONE BECAUSE IT WILL IMPACT THE ENTIRE CITY AND VISITORS TO THE CITY AS EVERYBODY IS TAKING IN THE BREATH OF ALL OF THAT. 
          AS IT BECOMES A SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD, YEAH WE HAVE CAPABILITY TO DO THAT AND WILL DRILL DOWN BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE'RE RECEIVING AT THAT TIME. 
          [01:05:04]
          >> GREAT. THANK YOU. 
          MY NEXT QUESTION FOR YOUR PUSH NOTIFICATION WITH TEXT AND E-MAIL, THE SOCIAL MEDIA IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE, IS THE CALL TO ACTION TO SAY WE HAVE TEXT ALERTS, E-MAIL ALERTS. 
          SO WHEREFORE IS INTERACTING WITH THAT KNOWS THEY CAN BE GET THOSE ARK LETTERS THROUGH E-MAIL AND TEXT. 
          >> YEAH, THE IDEA IS ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WOULD WORK TOGETHER. 
          IT'S THE SAME INFORMATION GOING THROUGH VARIOUS CHANNELS SO THEY KNOW THERE'S OPTIONS TO RECEIVE THAT. 
          >> DIDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS, KELLY. 
          >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR, I MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT. THE SIGN UPS. 
          ARE THEY ON THE WEBSITE NOW? >> THEY ARE NOT LIVE NOW. 
          WE HAVE MEETING MONDAY ON THE NINTH TO DISCUSS HOW THAT SET UP WILL LOOK. HOW THE SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW US TO SET IT UP. FRANKFORD ROAD IS THE FIRST WE GET UP AND RUNNING. PART OF THAT SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW ME, SAY WE NEED TO DO A WATER SHUT OFF. 
          COLLECT THE PEOPLE IN THE SECTION AND LET THEM KNOW AND THEY WILL GET THE TEXT MESSAGE INSTEAD OF EVERYONE SAYING, HEY, BY THE WAY, THE WATER WILL BE OFF FOR TWO HOURS. 
          THOSE SPECIFIC BUSINESSES OR RESIDENTS WHO IS AFFECTED WOULD GET THAT NOTIFICATION AND THAT WAY WE DON'T TELL EVERYONE, YOUR WATER IS GETTING SHUT OFF AND THEIR CONCERN IS IT'S GETTING SHUT OFF WHEN IT'S NOT. THOSE WILL GO LIVE AS WE GO THROUGH THE TRAINING PROCESS WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 
          TEAM. >>  WHEN I SIGN UP, I HAVE TO 
          GIVE MY HOME ADDRESS? >> YES. 
          THAT'S SIMILAR TO OUR, IF YOU'RE SIGNED UP FOR THE EMERGENCY ALERTS FOR STORMS. YOU'RE ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM. 
          IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE, YOU CAN OPT INTO 
          >> WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. 
          >> JOSEY AND PARKER, WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME EXPECTED FOR THAT? 
          >> SO THAT ONE IS, OUR TARGET IS SIX MONTHS OF CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO, I KNOW ALTHOUGH IT'S AFFECTING A MAJOR ROD AND TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THAT WITH THE TEXT MESSAGES. 
          THAT ONE OUR BID OPENING IS THURSDAY. 
          WE'RE MOVING THAT QUICKLY. >> THE KEY IS YOU'RE HEARING FROM EVERYBODY IS, FIVE YEARS OF PAIN. 
          A LOT OF ANTICIPATION AND PLANNING. 
          WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK THUS FAR. THAT ONE TO FIVE YEAR PLANNING. 
          THE SCOPING. THE DESIGN ALL THAT IS BEHIND US ON MOST OF THESE PROJECTS OR THE FIRST PHASES OF EACH. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF FATIGUE BY THE TIME WE GET TO 31 ON THIS. 
          AND PROBABLY WELL BEFORE THAT. ARE WE THERE YET KIND OF THING. 
          >> OVER COMMUNICATING IS GOING TO BE THE KEY HERE. 
          SO. WE APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THIS 
          TOGETHER. >> THANK YOU SO 
          >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY. 
          WE'RE GOING TO PLOW THROUGH. WE WILL NOTIFY OUR GUESTS IN THE AUDITORIUM WE WILL BE A FEW MINUTES LATE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON OVERVIEW OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. JENNY. 
          >> >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JENNY RINEHART HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT AN OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. 
          ALSO WITH THE FOCUS ON WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND SOME OF OUR ACTIVITIES OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR AND GO OVER MAJOR PROJECT OUTCOMES. THE SYSTEMS AND MARKETING TOOLS YOU PUT IN PLACE, AND THEN TOWARDS THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, I WILL PREVIEW POTENTIAL UPDATES TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS THAT WILL BRING BACK TO COUNCIL AT A FUTURE DATE. TONIGHT THERE'S NO REQUEST FOR APPROVAL BUT WE WANT TO SHARE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING AND WHERE WE MAYBE HEADED. SO, THE MISSION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT IS TO ADVANCE A RESILIENT AND DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY AND FOSTER SUSTAINABLE GROWTH TO ENHANCE LONG-TERM PROCESS PERITY AND DO THAT, WE CARRY OUT OUR MISSION UNDER SIX PROGRAMS WHICH ARE BUSINESS ATTRACTION, BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION, REDEVELOPMENT, RETAIL TOD AND DOWNTOWN, PROMOTION OF CARROLLTON AND DIVERSIFICATION OF OUR TAX BASE. AND AS WE ALREADY KNOW, CARROLLTON HAS A VERY STRONG INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING BASE AND THAT HAS BEEN A REAL SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE FOR THE COMMUNITY. AS WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD, WE ARE 
          [01:10:01]
ALSO FOCUSED ON THE GROWING OFFICE PRESENCE. 
          REDEVELOPMENT AND ATTRACTING A WIDER MIX OF EMPLOYERS IN THE FUTURE. THIS GOES OVER A SNAPSHOT OF THE PROJECTS AND THE INVESTMENT OVER THE PROJECTS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR. WE'RE REPORTING $182 MILLION OF PRIVATE CAPITAL. 172.9 IS COMING FROM OUR CORPORATE SIDE AND 9.57 IS COMING FROM RETAIL REHAB PROJECTS. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 21 JOBS COMMITTED TO THE CITY OF CARROLLTON WHEN YOU COMBINE CORPORATE AND RETAIL. I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH A COUPLE AND SHOW YOU THE PROJECTS BEHIND THE NUMBERS. 
          SO OUR LARGEST INCENTIVE AGREEMENT FROM LAST YEAR AND THE BIGGEST PROJECT WAS PENNY MACK. THEY TOOK OVER THAT FORMER AMERIS SOURCE BUILDING. THEY WILL OCCUPY 3000 EMPLOYEES. 
          AND AR IS A BUSY RETENTION PROJECT. 
          AN EXISTING CARROLLTON COMPANY. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A COMPANY THAT CONTINUED TO INVEST IN CARROLLTON. 
          I BELIEVE THIS IS THEIR EIGHTH FACILITY AND OPERATE IN A MILLION SQUARE FEET. UNION TECH WAS ANOTHER BUSINESS ATTRACTION PROJECT WE WON LAST YEAR. 
          THEY ARE IN 220,000 SQUARE FEET. THEY DO ADVANCED MANUFACTURING. 
          THAT WAS THE WINNER OF THE BEST INDUSTRIAL LEASE FOR DFW METROPLEX THIS PAST MARCH AND PENNYMAC WAS NOMINATED AS BEST OFFICE SPACE USER. THAT DOES REPRESENT ONE OF LARGEST OFFICE DEALS THE METROPLEX SO LAST YEAR AND FINALLY, COUNCIL APPROVED ENERGY ACCESS INNOVATIONS MOVING INTO A FLEX SPACE AND CONVERTING NOW TO EXECUTIVE OFFICE SPACE TO CREATE MORE OF A LOOK FOR HEADQUARTERS OPERATIONS. 
          THEY WILL BE OPENING EARLY NEXT YEAR. 
          SO SOME OF THE INCENTIVES THAT WE WORK ON FOR RETAIL PROJECTS. 
          VERY QUICKLY, SEOUL KOREAN GRILL WILL BE OPENING NEXT MONTH. 
          ISLAND VINTAGE COFFEE IS TAKING PLACE OF OLD CHICK-FIL-A. 
          THEY WILL BECOME THE NEW HAWAIIAN KONA COFFEE SHOP. 
          00 TACH IS DOING A SOFT OPENING. THEY ARE THE TACK STORE IN A THOUSAND SQUARE FEET IN DOWNTOWN AND THEN A RECENTLY COUNCIL APPROVED EK VILLAGE. A SHOPPING CENTER ON JOSEY AND FRANKFORD. THAT WILL BE MODERNIZING THE ENTIRE UPON SHOPPING CENTER. THE PROJECTS ONLY TELL A PART OF THE STORY. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE WORK THAT IS BEHIND THOSE OUTCOMES. BECAUSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND CREATING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. SO, OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE HAD 121 BUSINESS ATTRACTION ENGAGEMENTS. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE CONNECT WITH COMPANIES TO INTRODUCE THEM TO CARROLLTON AND TO SEE IF THERE'S POTENTIAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WE PARTICIPATED IN 25 HOSTING DELEGATIONS AT CITY HALL, FROM AROUND THE WORLD. 
          WE HAVE CONDUCTED NINE ROAD SHOWS AND SITE CONSULTANT FORUMS. THAT INVOLVES GOING OUT TO DIFFERENT MARKETS LIKE NEW YORK, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO TO MEET WITH COMPANIES DIRECTLY OR MEET WITH THE SITE CONSULTANTS MAKING OR HELPING THE COMPANY MAKE THOSE LOCATION DECISIONS. 
          AND IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE 39 BUSINESS RETENTION VISITS OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S WHEN WE GO OUT AND MEET WITH OUR EXISTING COMPANIES UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY ARE AT: IF THERE'S A WAY TO HELP THEM SUPPORT THEIR GROWTH. 
          IF THEY HAVE CHALLENGES. THAT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST THEM. WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN A STAB AT UPDATING ALL MARKETING AND RECRUITMENT MATERIALS. 
          THAT WILL BE USED TO TELL CARROLLTON'S STORY. 
          WE EITHER CREATED OUR UPDATED OUR RECRUITMENT PRESENTATIONS, MARKETING COLLATERAL, WEBSITE AND INTERNATIONAL FACING RESOURCES. THE EXAMPLES ON THIS SCREEN SHOW SOME OF THE TOOLS IN USE. AND THE IDEA BEHIND ALL OF THIS MARKETING IS COMMUNICATE A CONSISTENT COMPETITIVE MESSAGE THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR COMPANIES AND SITE SELECTORS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CARROLLTON OFFERS. 
          DIFFERENT COLLATERAL GOES IN DIFFERENT PLACE. 
          SITE SELECTION IS VERY QUICK. WE START FROM A LONG LIST OF 50 
          [01:15:01]
TO 100 CITIES AND THEY ELIMINATE YOU QUICKLY. 
          WE WANT TO HAVE THE INFORMATION OUT THERE UPDATED ALL THE TIME SO WE'RE NOT MISSING OUT ON OPPORTUNITY. 
          WE ALSO CREATED A BUSINESS RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EXISTING COMPANIES THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION RELATED TO HIGHER EDUCATION OR TRAINING GRANTS. DIFFERENT KINDS OF RESOURCES THAT EXISTING COMPANIES CAN USE. WE CREATED INCENTIVE FLYERS THAT WILL BE MARKETING AND PROMOTING CERTAIN INCENTIVE PROGRAMS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE AND WE HAVE BEGUN STARTING OUR INTERNATIONAL-FACING THAT IS COUNTRY OR INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC. 
          TRANSLATED INTO THEIR LANGUAGES OR THOSE WE MEET ABROAD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE DO. WE LAUNCHED DEPARTMENT'S FIRST SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNEL. LINKED IN. 
          WE HAD ABOUT OVER A YEAR BY NOW. WE HAVE ABOUT A THOUSAND FOLLOWERS. IT GIVES US A GREAT WAY TO STAY IMAGINED IN THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
          OKAY. SO, BEHIND ALL OF THAT OUTREACH WE HAVE ALSO STRENGTHENED OUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES INCLUDING THE LAUNCH OF OUR CRM SYSTEM JUST THAT PASS JULY. 
          THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN A DATABASE THAT HAS COMPANIES OR CONTACTS IN THEM. WE CUSTOMIZED SO OUR DEPARTMENT CAN TRACK KPIS. WE TOOK A SNAPSHOT OF AUGUST. 
          ALL TEAM MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO UPLOAD ALL PROJECTS AND LEAD SAYS INTO THE CRM TO HELP US CAPTURE THE INFORMATION THAT HELPS US UNDERSTAND OUR WORKFLOW AND PRIORITIES. 
          AS AN EXAMPLE OF AUGUST FOR INSTANCE. 
          WE ASSISTED NINE BUSINESSES. 14 GENERAL INQUIRIES WERE ONE QUALIFIED LEAD. WE RESPONDED TO SIX REQUESTED FOR INFORMATION THROUGH THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          20 BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, AND THEN FIVE BRE VISITS. ESSENTIALLY, IT IS A QUICK EXAMPLE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE PUT INTO PLACE TO SUPPORT THE WORK THAT WE DO. AS COUNCIL IS AWARE. 
          OUR PILOT RECRUITMENT PROGRAM, WE CAN TAKE A TARGETED APPROACH TO ATTRACT INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT TO CARROLLTON. 
          TEXAS CONTINUES TO BE THE LEADING DESTINATION FOR FOREIGN PARTICULARLY IN MANUFACTURING AND OTHER RELATED INDUSTRIES AND IN 2023, TEXAS ATTRACTED THE HIGHEST OF ANY STATE IN THE COUNTRY. AND SO THAT REALLY SPEAKS TO THE OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE HERE. AND WITH COUNCIL SUPPORT, WE'RE EVALUATING CARROLLTON'S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND DEVELOP A TARGETED RECRUITMENT TO ALIGN WITH OUR STRENGTHS. 
          AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH HISTORICAL CONTEXT ON THE CITY'S INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS. 
          WHEN THESE AGREEMENTS WERE EXECUTED, THE PROPERTIES HAD A COMBINED TAXABLE BASE VALUE OF $167.5 MILLION. 
          OVER THE SAME 10 YEAR PERIOD, THE CITY HAS PAID 5.19 MILLION IN CUMULATIVE PROPERTY TAX REBATES. 
          THE PROPERTIES HAVE A COMBINED NOW REPORTED APPRAISED VALUE OF $537 MILLION. SO TO PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE, THE REPORTED VALUES HAVE MORE THAN TRIPLED SINCE THE ORIGINAL BASE VALUES. IT'S AN INCREASE OF ABOUT $370 MILLION COMPARE WITH JUST $5 MILLION IN CUMULATIVE REBATES OVER THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME. WE CAN'T ATTRIBUTE ALL INCREASE DIRECTLY TO THE INCENTIVE ITSELF, BUT DOES HELP ILLUSTRATE TO ENCOURAGE INVESTMENTS AND CREATE LONG-TERM VALUE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO, TO GIVE YOU A PICK OF OUR LOCAL ECONOMY TODAY. CARROLLTON HAS ABOUT 57 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE. 45 MILLION OF THAT IS DEDICATED TO THE FLEX AND MANUFACTURING USE. 
          WE ALSO HAVE OVER 8700 BUSINESSES. 
          SO WE HAVE GROWN SINCE LAST YEAR AND WE HAVE OVER 500 RESTAURANTS OPERATING IN THE CITY. AND I WILL TURN A LITTLE BIT TO THE OCCUPANCY RATES. CARROLLTON RIGHT NOW HAS 95% FOR INDUSTRY. 94.6 FOR RETAIL AND 86% FOR OFFICE. BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO PUT THESE NUMBERS INTO CONTEXT AS A HEALTHY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN 100% OCCUPANCY. 
          AND VACANCIES IS NORM AND NEEDED BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HELP BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY HERE EXPAND AND GROW, IT'S GOING TO HELP PEOPLE ENTER THE MARKET AS WELL. 
          SO SOME VACANCY IS NORMAL. BUT TO PUT THAT INTO A BROADER CONTEXT, THE DFW'S INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY RATE RIGHT NOW IN 
          [01:20:02]
GENERAL ON AVERAGE IS 92.1%. COMPARED TO CARROLLTONS'S 95%. 
          WE ALSO LOOKED AT DIFFERENT CITIES LIKE PLANO FOR THEIR OFFICE MARKET. THEY ARE KNOWN FOR OFFICE. 
          PLANO'S OFFICE OCCUPANCY IS 87.7. 
          INDUSTRIAL IS 90.9. RETAIL IS 93.5. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT A CITY LIKE GARLAND, SIMILAR, 94.6 FOR RETAIL. WHAT THIS IS SAYING, CARROLLTON IS PERFORMING COMPETITIVELY. PARTICULARLY IN OUR INDUSTRIAL AND RETAIL. BUT WE HAVE ALSO HISTORICALLY BEEN A STRONG INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING COMMUNITY. 
          AND OFFICE REPRESENTS A MUCH SMALLER SHARE OF OUR INVENTORY. 
          BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME ENCOURAGING MOMENTUM OVER THE PAST YEAR. WE HAVE RISEN 5 PERCENTAGE POINTS. WHEN OFFICE HAS STRUGGLED, IT'S SPECTACULAR TO HAVE. SO, ANOTHER INTERESTING PART OF CARROLLTON'S STORY IS OUR WORK FORCE. 
          OUR POPULATIONS IS ABOUT 136,000. 
          WE HAVE ABOUT 100,000 JOBS IN THE CITY. 
          HERE'S WHAT REALLY STANDS OUT ABOUT CARROLLTON. 
          WHEN PEOPLE PICTURE A TRADITIONAL SUBURB, WE LEAVE THE SUBURB AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO AN URBAN CENTER TO WORK. 
          CARROLLTON IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE 62% OF PEOPLE WHO WORK IN CARROLLTON COMMUNITY HERE FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND 38% LIVE AND WORK IN CARROLLTON. WE ARE A MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER. WE ARE DRAWING WORKERS INTO THE CITY EVERY DAY. THAT SPEAKS TO THE STRENGTH OF OUR COMMERCIAL BASE AND ALSO SIGNIFIES A ROLE WE APPLY IN THE REGIONAL ECONOMY. I WANT TO PAUSE A BIT BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE TOOLS WE'RE EVALUATING. I WANT TO BRIEFLY EXPLAIN AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN CARROLLTON AND OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. I GET QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN AN EDO LIKE OR OUR EDC. 
          THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO IS THE WAY WE'RE FUNDED. 
          SO CARROLLTON IS A DARK NUMBER CITY. 
          WE DEDICATE $0.01 OF OUR LOCAL SALES TAX TO REGIONAL TRANSIT. 
          THAT SAME SALES TAX CAPACITY MAY INSTEAD HELP FUND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS IN OTHER CITIES. TO PUT THAT IN INFRASTRUCTURE, CARROLLTON GAVE TO DART LAST YEAR. 
          WE HAVE PROPOSED INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS BROUGHT BEFORE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. ULT I ULTIMATELY, WE COMPETING NOTORIETY SAME PROJECTS WITH DIFFERENT RESOURCES. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE EFFECTIVE TOOLS MATTER JUST AHEAD. JUST AS A SIDE NOTE, WHEN YOU SHOP IN CITIES LIKE ALLEN, MCKINNEY AND FRISCO, YOU MAY HELP CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND WHICH WE'RE COMPETING AGAINST. IT'S JUST ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO SHOP LOCALLY IN CARROLLTON FIRST. 
          SO, AS WE LOOK AHEAD, THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS THROUGHOUT CARROLLTON WE SEE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE INVESTMENT. THE MAP HIGHLIGHTS SIX MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS WE'RE KEEPING A CLOSE ON. 
          SEVERAL OF THE AREAS ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL OFFICE LONG WITH RETAIL, REDEVELOPMENT AND OTHER COMMERCIAL USES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS TO SUPPORT THE INVESTMENT WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT. WHICH BRINGS ME IT OUR FINAL SLIDE. AS WE DISCUSSED TODAY, CARROLLTON AS A STRONG FOUNDATION AND WE SEE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH ACROSS THE CITY. 
          ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR OFFICE MARKET WHILE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT BUSINESS RECRUITMENT, DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT INTO EXISTING PROPERTIES. 
          NOW SOME OF THESE TOOLS MAY ALREADY BE FAMILIAR. 
          WE HAVE CONSIDERED PERMIT FEE WAIVERS IN AGREEMENTS BEFORE. 
          AND MORE RECENTLY THE OCCUPANCY GRANT WAS PART OF THE DISCUSSIONS AROUND TRINITY MILLS DEVELOPMENT. 
          WHAT WE LOOK AT NOW IS WHETHER THESE APPROACHES LIKE THIS COULD BE FORMALIZED INTO A BROADER PROGRAM RATHER THAN ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASE. SO WE'RE ALSO EXPLORING OPTIONS SUCH AS RELOCATION GRANTS OR BUILDING IMPROVEMENT INCENTIVES THAT HELP US RESPOND TO THE DIFFERENT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. PART OF THE REASON WHY THAT IS. 
          TRADITIONAL PROPERTY TAX REBATES DON'T WORK EQUALLY WELL FOR EACH 
          [01:25:03]
PROJECT. FOR INDUSTRIALLY MANUFACTURING INVESTMENT WHERE COMPANIES MAKE SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY IMPROVES OR PURCHASE A LOT OF BPP, IT CAN BE MEANINGFUL. 
          AS THESE CONCEPTS ARE FURTHER DEVELOPED FURTHER, WE WILL BE BRINGING IT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND DIRECTION. 
          AND PROPOSED INCENTIVE WOULD COME TO CONSIDERATION. 
          ULTIMATELY OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE CARROLLTON TO HAVE A FLEXIBILITY TOOL KIT TO INVEST THE CLIENT WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT. 
          I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE ACTIVITIES WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PAST YEAR FROM RIBBON CUTTINGS. 
          TO BUSINESS EVENTS, THIS IS HOW WE STAY CONNECTED TO OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY. COUNCIL BEFORE I WRAP UP, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. 
          YOUR SUPPORT GOES BEYOND APPROVING INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS. 
          IT'S ALSO THE TIME THAT YOU TAKE TO SPEND WITH OUR BUSINESSES, TO WHETHER CELEBRATE THE MILE STONES OR GO ON A TOUR. 
          THAT ENGAGEMENT MATTERS TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AS IT SHOWS THE CITY IS INVESTED IN THEIR SUCCESS. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. >> JENNY, GREAT JOB. 
          [APPLAUSE] I THINK, AS I REFLECT ON WHAT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS DONE, JUST IN THE LAST YEAR, BUT, HOW IT'S TRANSFORMED SINCE I WAS FIRST SELECTED TO COUNCIL. 
          IT IS NIGHT AND DAY. I THINK WE HEAR THAT FROM THOSE COMPANIES THAT YOU SITED COMING TO CARROLLTON. 
          ALL THE TIME. SO, THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF. WE KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK. 
          YOUR WORK IS NOT DONE. I HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO. 
          AND I AM EXCITED THAT YOU'RE WITH US. 
          COUNCIL ANY COMMENTS ON ANY OF THIS? OBVIOUSLY MORE TO COME FROM HER AS WE LOOK FORWARD. 
          >> GREAT WORK. >> GREAT WORK. 
          >> IMPRESSIVE. >> STAFF APPRECIATES IT. 
          >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNCIL WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO ADJOURN OUR WORK SESSION. WE WILL COME BACK AT THE END. 
          WE HAVE TWO, A RELATIVELY BRIEF MEETING. 
          IT'S CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ONLY. PUBLIC FORUM. 
          WE WILL COME BACK FOR INFORMATION SHARING. 
          WE ALSO HAVE TO DO A DIWALI GREETING TAPE WE WILL DO AFTER THE MEETING. WE WERE GOING TO DO BEFORE BUT WE WILL DO AFTER. LET'S MEET AT THE DAIS. 
          APOLOGIZE FOR THOSE >> WELCOME TO THE LOCATION NIGHT. WE WILL START WITH OUR INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. 
          PLEASE RISE. >> FATHER I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND I PRAY WE WOULD MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE HONORING TO OUR CITY AND TO YOU. I PRAY FOR THE ELECTION WITHIN OUR COUNTRY AND CALM HEARTS AND PEACEFUL MINDS THROUGHOUT AN ELECTION. I THANK YOU I LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE WE CAN VOTE AND WE CAN MAKE CHOICES. 
          I PRAY THAT WE WOULD ALL BE WILLING TO MAKE THOSE CHOICES. 
          I ASK THAT YOU WITH BE US TONIGHT. 
          IN CHRIST'S NAME I PRAY. AMEN. 
          I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. 
          HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG; I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE, TEXAS, ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE. 
          >> COUNCIL, OUR FIRST FORWARD OF ORDER OF BUSINESS IS A PROLAMATION TO THE DENTON COUNTY FRIENDS OF FAMILY IN RECOGNITION OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. 
          I WILL MEET YOU AT THE PODIUM. IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO GIVE OUR PROCLAMATIONS IT ON THOSE WHO SUPPORT DENTON COUNTY. 
          [01:30:04]

          THIS PROCLAMATION TONIGHT WITH DANNY SHAW ARE REPRESENTING THE FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY FOR DENTON COUNTY. 
          IT IS REGARDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH.
