WHAT THE DIMENSIONS ARE WAS THAT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE THOUGHT OTHER THINGS THAT WERE IMPORTANT TO US. WE'RE SHADE BOTH NATURAL SHADE OF MANMADE SHADE. UM UH, HOW THE PUBLIC BATHROOMS WOULD BE THE DIFFERENT DESIGN HOW THEY WOULD BE UTILIZING THE STRUCTURES THAT WERE ALREADY THERE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, UH, MOST ELOQUENTLY PUT FORWARD BY BY DEBRA WAS THE BEST INCLUDE THE TOPS DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY OF SURROUNDS IT AND INVOLVE EVERYBODY IN THAT. S O. WE HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETING BOTH ON SITE AND THEN AFTERWARDS, THE NEXT TIME WE'RE GONNA GET TOGETHER IS PROBABLY IN ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO. AS THEY COME TO SORT OF MORE FINAL PLANS AND JUST, YOU KNOW, REALLY START. FINALIZING WHAT THE PLANS ARE, AS THEY GET IT TO PUTTING SHOVELS INTO GROUND, SO WE'LL BE MEETING REGULARLY AT THE RIGHT TIME. AND SO FAR, WE'RE REALLY SATISFIED WITH THEIR ANY ANY COMMENTS FROM.

DEBORAH DAVE, AND SHE WAS WITH US IS WHAT? YEAH THE WAY WERE THAT SUBCOMMITTEE IS DEBORAH DAVID OF MYSELF, AND ANGIE WAS THERE REPRESENTING THE CITY COUNCIL. HAD SANDY, OF COURSE, AND A LOT OF CITY MANAGEMENT PLANNING PEOPLE. IDEALS, JOSIE. THANK YOU. CITY OF MCKINNEY.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM, CHAIRMAN OF PRESIDENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS PAUL DR CITY MANAGER HAPPY THURSDAY. DARK COVERED PEANUTS. CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUTS DO DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED ALMONDS COUNT THINK IT'S CHOCOLATE COUNTRY. WE CAN'T BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S MY FAVORITE DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED ALMONDS WITH MAYBE A SPRINKLE IN THE CHILI POWDER.

IT'S REALLY GOOD ANYWAY. UM OKAY. SO A COUPLE OF ITEMS TO UPDATE YOU ON, OF COURSE, IF YOU WALKED AROUND OUTSIDE THIS WEEK, YOU WOULD NEVER THINK WE HAD A WINTER STORM LAST WEEK, A RECORD STORM. BUT IN POINTING THAT OUT, I WANT OH, GIVE PARTICULAR THANKS TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FOLKS PUBLICLY PUBLIC PAT ON THE BACK IF YOU WILL, CERTAINLY OUR FIRST RESPONDERS DID UNBELIEVABLE WORK. ARE TELLING ME OUR DISPATCHERS. AMAZING I WAS IN THERE. I STOPPED BY. THEY WERE GETTING COURSE, RUNG UP BY VERY ANGRY RESIDENTS CALLING ABOUT POWER OUTAGES IN A NUMBER OF THINGS, AND THEY CALLS WENT UP SUBSTANTIALLY. OUR PUBLIC WORKS, FOLKS, CERTAINLY OUR WATER UTILITY FOLKS. THE WATER DISTRICT WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD.

THEY ARE PUMP EGE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR WE NORMALLY PUMP AROUND 21 MILLION GALLONS A DAY OF WATER ON A FEBRUARY DAY AND MCKINNEY BOND THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM WE WERE PUMPING OVER 40 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. S O. THE WATER DISTRICT HAD TO KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THAT DEMAND WASN'T JUST MCKINNEY. IT'S THEIR ENTIRE WATER DISTRICT. THAT'S AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT THING TO DO, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY'RE LOSING POWER ON AND OFF. THEY NEVER LOST THEIR MAIN PUMP STATION, BUT THEY HAD SOME AUXILIARY STATIONS LOSE POWER AS THAT WE, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP OUR GENERATORS WERE OPERATING. WE KEPT OUR PRESSURES WELL ABOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR BOYLE ORDERS, SO WE NEVER HAD TO ISSUE A BOIL ORDER. ANDRE JUST DID A REALLY, REALLY GREAT JOB. BUT THOSE ARE THE FOLKS YOU JUST DON'T HEAR FROM VERY MUCH IS THE FOLKS WORKING THE WATER PLANTS AND MAKING SURE THAT THE SYSTEM WORKS AND ONE LAST THING I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HELPED. BUT MARK TURMAN AND CROSS POINT CHURCH WE'RE PARTICULARLY HELPFUL THEY MADE THEY HAD NO HESITATION. IN FACT, I JOKED WITH MARK AND I WILL CONTINUE TO JOKE WITH HIM. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE OFFERED GOOD, BUT HE OFFERED THE CHURCH FOR WARMING CENTER. I SAID, WELL, HEY, I GOT AN IDEA FOR YOU. WE HAD A MEMORY CARE FACILITY CALLED THE LEGEND HAD LOST POWER AND THEY WERE COLD OR OLDER FOLKS. THEY NOT ONLY DID OUR FIRE FOLKS RELOCATE THEM TO THE CROSS POINT CHURCH, THE FOLKS ACROSS POINT CHURCH WELCOME THEM. TREATED THEM LIKE THEY WERE IN THEIR OWN HOME.

THEY WERE AT THE CHURCH. THEY, OF COURSE, PLENTY OF FOOD WAS WARM, AND I THINK THEY EVEN GOT A CAMEO APPEARANCE BY THE MAYOR AND HIS WIFE ABOUT PERFORMANCE ONE NIGHT SO UM YEAH, THAT MARK AND THE FOLKS ACROSS POINT, REALLY? I JUST WANTED TO CALL THEM OUT AND GIVE A PARTICULAR

[00:15:03]

MCKINNEY, TEXAS THAT ORGAN FORWARD SLASH PROJECT STATUS AND YOU CAN CLICK ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE ICON. AND YOU FIND OUT ALL KINDS OF UPDATES ABOUT ONGOING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE CITY THAT KENNY AND WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'D LIKE TO SAY ONE THING, AND I'D LIKE TO COME IN THE CITY AND ALL THE STAFF THAT OBVIOUSLY DEALT WITH THE ISSUES LAST WEEK. I KNOW WE ALL HAD OUR INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES, AND THE NEIGHBORS WERE HELPING NEIGHBORS. BUT I JUST LIKE TO SAY IS. THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES I REACHED OUT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL WONDERING HOW WE COULD HELP AND EVERY TIME I REACHED OUT TO SOMEONE, THEY ALREADY HAD SO MUCH HELP, AND I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW IS GREAT ABOUT MCKINNEY. BUT IT WAS ALMOST LIKE YOU SAID, AND YOU WANTED TO HELP. BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD SAY WELL, RIGHT NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY OKAY OR PEOPLE WERE SO FAST TO RESPOND TO REQUESTS THAT BY THE TIME YOU GOT YOUR RESPONSE, AND IT WAS LIKE, OH, WE ALREADY HAVE GROCERIES FOR THIS FAMILY OR YOU KNOW, HELP WITH UTILITY PAYMENTS OR WHATEVER IT WAS, AND SO I WAS.

YOU KNOW, I FELT HELPLESS. I FELT LIKE I WANTED TO DO MORE, BUT I WAS SO THRILLED TO HEAR THAT THERE WERE SO MANY OUT THERE. HELPING SO IT'S AMAZING COMMUNITY. HAVE A COMMENT AS WELL. THERE WERE EVERYBODY WHO PITCHED IN AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB. BUT I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO COMMUNITY LIFELINE AND 80 Y EL AND THE TREMENDOUS JOB THAT THEY DID IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD AND OTHER RESOURCE IS SO ALWAYS THAT HEART TO LOVE AND TO SERVE AND TO KAREN TO GIVE IS AMAZING, AND THOSE TWO ENTITIES HAVE FORGED IT REALLY COOL PARTNERSHIP FOR THE FRUIT FOR DOING JUST THAT, SO IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE. IT'S NOTED AND APPRECIATED. IS IT MCKINNEY? GOOD MORNING, DEDE GARA WITH VISIT MCKINNEY. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. OUR BOARD MET ON TUESDAY AND THANK YOU, VICE CHAIRMAN GLUE FOR ATTENDING OUR MEETINGS. UM THE KIWANIS CLUB? ACTUALLY, WE HAD OUR GREAT CYCLE, THE SECOND GRAND CYCLE AND SO WE LISTEN TO RWANDA'S CLUB OF MCKINNEY. THEY ASKED FOR $2000 FOR THE ADVERTISEMENT AND PROMOTION OF TRIATHLON. THE HERITAGE GUILD OF CALLING COUNTY CHESTNUT SQUARE ASKED FOR $1500 TOWARDS A PROFESSIONAL VIDEO THAT THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE DONE OF THE WEDDING VENUE. AND WE ALSO LISTEN TO THE TEXAS MUSIC PROJECT. THE SOUND OF TEXAS AND THEY ASKED FOR $15,000, AND IT'S FOUR A CONCERT SERIES. I KIND OF LIKE A GUESS. CONCERT CRAWL OF SORTS ON BEN. WE TENDED THREE VITAL SHOWS LAST MONTH IN JANUARY. WE ALSO SECURED SOME BUSINESS FROM A VETERANS GROUP. THEY'LL BE AT THE SHERATON NEXT YEAR. AND UM, WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF RFP. SO IT'S EXCITING THAT PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO TRAVEL AGAIN. UM AND JUST SUBMITTED MARKETING MATERIALS TO CONVENTION SOUTH BUS TOUR MAGAZINE TOWARD TEXAS AND THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE AS WELL. UM, WE HAD SOME EMPTY NESTERS THAT WE'RE COMING IN AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, AND WE RESCHEDULED THEM. DUTILLEUX LAST WEEK'S, UM, INCIDENTS SO THEY'LL BE COMING AT THE END OF MARCH, AND THEY ARE EMPTY NESTERS. UM. WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON A PIPE EXPERIENCE FOR THE BYRON NELSON WITH MAIN STREET AND, UM, WITH THE BARONESS NELSON FOLKS ON BEN. WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON OUR CR IN ON APRIL 16TH. WE WILL BE STARTING TO

[00:20:06]

TO TALK ABOUT A POTENTIAL PUBLIC ART PROJECT. SO WE HAVE A PROPOSAL FROM AN INTERNATIONAL ARTIST. HE'S AUSTRALIAN. HE HAS WORKS. ALL OVER THE WORLD MUMBAI, KIEV E MEAN EVERYWHERE. AUSTRALIA LOTS OF WORKS ALL OVER, BUT HE SPECIALIZES IN PAINTING SILOS.

AND HE HAS, AND HE HAS A REALLY INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. HE COMES AND HE LEARNS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY, SO WE'RE GOING TO SHARE MAURA ABOUT THAT, WITH COUNSEL ON TUESDAY.

E THINK MEMBER, GIL MCGILL HAS HAD A CHANCE TO SEE ONE OF HIS WORKS AND PERSON AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO. SURE, SURE. I HAVE. I'M ACTUALLY DOING SOME SOME. I KNOW OF THE GROUP BECAUSE I'M DOING SOME ADDITIONAL WORK UP IN THAT AREA, AND IT IS TRULY AN AMAZING PROJECT. IT I THINK HAS ENHANCED TREMENDOUSLY. A TRAFFIC THAT COMES IN TO SEE IT, AND THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS THAT GO ON BECAUSE OF THAT, AND I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE. THE INITIAL FORMING OF THAT PROJECT IN THE KIERAN WHICH THE ARTIST ENLISTS AS YOU SAID THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK AND INPUT TO MAKE IT A REALLY RELEVANT S 02 POSSIBLY SEE THAT COMING HERE. I THINK WE'RE ACTUALLY A BIGGER CITY THAN MAN. KATO, WHERE THIS PROJECT IS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THE IMPACT THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE. FOR ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON. IN THAT SECTOR COULD BE TREMENDOUS AND BECAUSE OF THE ADVANTAGE OF HEIGHTS THAT SILOS BRING. IT'S AMAZING SORT OF BEACON, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND KUDOS TO YOU AND THE GROUP FOR THINKING ABOUT BRINGING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WELL, WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A DEFINITE ECONOMIC IMPACT TO PUBLIC ART PROJECTS OF THIS SIZE AND SCOPE. AND AGAIN. YEAH. THAT PROJECT IN MANKATO, MINNESOTA, IS I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING THAT IT'S REALLY HARD TO EVEN DESCRIBE SO. GREAT. SO IS THIS IS THIS

[00:25:05]

WE'VE GOT LIGHT POLES, FLAGS JUST KIND OF SCATTERED EVERYWHERE. IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING FOR SOMEONE TO GET THROUGH THAT AREA THERE. THE MORE UTILITIES AGAIN. RIGHT.

HERE IS A BIG PROBLEM. HOW DO YOU WORK AROUND THAT WITH LANDSCAPING? HOW DO YOU KIND OF HIDE THAT BUT STILL ALLOWED PEOPLE TO GET ACCESS TO DO THEIR JOB TO FIX AND DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO. SO THAT WAS THE CHALLENGE PRESENTED. YOU'RE AT THE CORNER MARKERS. YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF PLANTS OVERHANGING A LITTLE BIT, NOT NOT NECESSARILY BAD PER SE. WE DO HAVE SOME DIFFERENT TRASH FACILITIES OUT THERE IS A COMPACT OR SOLAR CONTRACTOR. THAT'S THERE. AND SO JUST TRY TO LOOK AT THE ELEMENTS. WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THERE, AND SO WE COULD DO FURTHER WITH THAT. DIFFERENT BEN STILES, IT BE NICE TO BRING SOME UNIFORMS TO THAT MAKE IT CONSISTENT, SO ACTUALLY HAS AN IDENTITY FOR THAT AREA. YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE A COUPLE BENCHES HERE DONATED BENCHES, SOME OF ACTUALLY HAD TO REMOVE THAT ONE BECAUSE IT WAS CRACKED AND IT WAS LITTLE AND SAFE. SO WE MOVED IN FOR THE TIME BEING.

BUT THIS BOTTOM STYLE THE MORE CLASSICAL LOOK IS REALLY THE ONE WE'RE SHOOTING FOR. I THINK THAT GIVES IT MORE OF A DOWNTOWN HISTORICAL FEELING. AGAIN WITH THE TRASH CANS. THE EXISTING STYLE ON THE LEFT. THERE IS OPPOSED TO THE ONE ON THE RIGHT THERE VERY SIMILAR. I THINK THE ONE ON THE RIGHT REASONS A BIT MORE OF THAT CLASSIC LOOK AGAIN TO THE HISTORICAL SIDE OF IT. JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PAVING PATTERNS DOWN THEIR ASSES, THE BUILDING IS NOT JUST A NEW ISLAND. IT'S PART OF THE REST OF THE FACILITIESHE BUILDINGS, O I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BRING IN SOME OF THAT PAPERWORK AND TIED INTO THE WHOLE PROJECT AS WELL.

AND SO I TOOK AN IDEA OF WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH CURRENTLY. MM. SO I PROPOSED A FEW THREE D

[00:30:06]

SOME OF THE SMALL TREE SELECTION OPTIONS THAT WE COULD DO WITH THOSE CORNER MARKERS.

THIES ALL DO REALLY WELL HERE IN TEXAS, SOME OF A VERY NATIVE TO THIS AREA. S O. YOU HAVE A REALLY GOOD COLOR PALETTE SCHEME THAT YOU COULD USE HERE IN THE SMALLER DECISIONS, TREES. INTRODUCING SOME COLOR PLANTS, ELECTIONS AS WELL, YOU KNOW, AGAINST OF THE TYPICAL PLANS YOU'LL SEE AROUND IN THIS AREA. THEY WOULD DO WELL IS SOME OF THE PLANTS ELECTIONS GOING FORWARD HERE? NOWHERE A MONARCH DESIGNATED DESTINATION HERE. SO BRING IN SOME OF THESE BUTTERFLY FRIENDLY SELECTIONS IS A OPPORTUNITY WE COULD PUT IN. THIS IS WELL. THEN JUST SOME OF THE GROUND COVERS. I NOTICED ON THE NORTHEAST IN SOUTHWEST CORNERS. THERE WERE SOME SIGN. IS THERE SOME DIGITAL SIGNS? WE DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THOSE PUTTING IN SOME NICE COLOR GROUND COVERS, SO YOU'RE STILL OUT? VISION OF THAT SIGN IT WAS APPROPRIATE.

AND SO THERE YOU GO. SO HERE WE GO. I'LL SHOW YOU AGAIN. WE HAVE OUR UTILITIES, SO WE STILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THOSE UTILITIES. AND YET IT DOESN'T. IT'S NOT COMPLICATED. IT'S JUST SIMPLE, CLEAN. LOOK TO IT. I'M TRYING TO PUT BUSHES AND SHRUBS TO HIDE ALL THOSE THINGS DON'T MAKE SENSE. IN THIS WAY YOU COULD MAKE IT JUST PART OF THE FRAMEWORK. THEN YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE TO THE OTHER THING THAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS. IF THIS GREEN SPACE FOR EXAMPLE, HERE WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH IF WE NEEDED TO ALTER SOMETHING WE COULD ALWAYS TAKE THESE. THERE IS HERE AND YOU COULD TAKE THAT TRIANGLE OUT AND MAKE IT MORE GRASS OVER TIME, SO YOU CAN REALLY PLUG AND PLAY. HOWEVER YOU WANT IT. IF YOU NEEDED MORE GREAT, YOU COULD TAKE IT AND IT WOULD NOT IMPEDE OR BREAK UP THAT FRAMEWORK THAT YOU HAVE. AND THEN THERE WAS AH, INTEREST IN NATIVE GRASSES, BRINGING SOME OF THOSE, UM THESE ARE SOME OF THE NATIVE GRASSES YOU'LL SEE HERE. I WENT TO THE HERD INTERPRETIVE CENTER YESTERDAY GOT A TOUR OF THAT? I WOULD SAY FIVE OF THE SIX OF THOSE ARE ALREADY OVER THERE, SO I KNOW THEY GROW HERE. I'M FAMILIAR WITH THESE TYPES OF PLANTS AS WELL. SO I KNOW YOU'LL DO WELL. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WITH THESE TYPES OF GRASSES AS YOU CUT YOUR COLOR SCHEMES OR PRETTY MUTE. YOU DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF REDS AND YOUR SWITCH GRASS. BUT MOSTLY WE'RE GONNA HAVE A YELLOW GROUND GREEN BROWN COLOR. THIES GRASSES YOU'RE MORE FAMILIAR WITH. YOU'LL SEE THESE AROUND MCKINNEY AS WELL, A LITTLE BIT MORE COLOR, NOT NECESSARILY NATIVE, BUT THEY ARE ADAPTED TO THIS POINT SO THEY WOULD GROW HERE AS WELL. SO SOME INTRODUCTION OF THOSE COULD BE A MIX OF BOTH. THEN AGAIN, JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT THE CORNER MARKERS, PATHWAYS AND SO FORTH FROM THERE. HERE'S THE SEATING AREA AGAIN, INCORPORATING THAT BRICKWORK AGAIN TRYING TO TIE THAT ALTOGETHER. YOU'LL SEE THE LIGHT POLE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE THERE. IT'S NOT. IT'S NO LONGER JUST SITTING OUT THERE IN THE GRASS. IT'S NOW PART OF THE FREE WORLD. OKAY, SO JUST LOOKING AT THE CORNERS AND THIS IS THE SOUTH EAST CORNER. JUST GIVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. YOU CAN SEE THE FRAME'S BUILT UP IN HERE. GOT HER NATIVE GRASSES GOT BOXWOOD HEDGES TURF SEATING AREAS. NEED OF SHRUBS, INBOX WOODS. THIS ONE HERE HAS A

[00:35:04]

AND YOU YOU'RE THE YOU'RE THE EXPERT ON THIS OBVIOUSLY. AND BELIEVE ME IF YOU EVER SAW MY LINE, YOU KNOW YOU WERE THE EXPERT UH, THE MAINTENANCE ELEMENT OF THIS LIKE THE I WAS LOOKING, IT'S ALL NATURAL GRASSES AND PERENNIALS AND ALL THAT'S VERY GOOD IS THE REAL IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE YOU HAVE TO DO IS REALLY KEEP THOSE BOXWOOD TRIMMED. IS THAT ABOUT IT? EXACTLY AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE MUCH TALLER THAN ABOUT MY KNEE SO WE CAN ACTUALLY WALK INTO IT AND SERVICE ANYTHING INTERIOR. CLEAN IT ALL OUT. IT'S REALLY JUST KEEPING THE BLOCK BOXWOOD SHARED UP THE ORNAMENTAL GRASSES ONCE A YEAR, NOT COME DOWN. TREES WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. OKAY? TERRIFIC. WHAT BEAUTIFUL. EXCEPT THAT BIG MODERN BUILDING IN THE BACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HOPE YOU'RE NOT KNOCKING THE OLD ONE DOWN BY A LOT OF TIME.

HERE, THE DETAIL. IS A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE BUILDING. SO IN TERMS OF THE DIGITAL SIGN THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, THE MOST SO YOU'RE PROPOSING THE BOX WOODS AROUND IT, OR WILL THAT BE JUST THE GROUND COVER? I'M SORRY I MISSED YEAH, WE CAN GO BACK TO THAT REAL QUICK JUST TO ILLUSTRATE THAT, AND I'M ASKING BECAUSE WHEN I DRIVE INTO DOWNTOWN, AND IT STARTS TO THE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE STARTS TO GROW UP A CANDIDACY THE BOTTOMS S O. I ALWAYS THINK I WONDER WHAT S KEEPING IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE BOX WITH THEME YOU'LL NOTICE ON THIS LOWER LEFT ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WEAKEN BOX AT ALL IN. THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE. WE CAN CONTAIN THAT. BUT ON THE LEFT IS WHERE THE SIGNAGE IS. THE BOX WAS JUST REALLY JUST FEEL THE BACKGROUND BACKDROP. OKAY EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF WILL BE JUST LOW GROUND COVERS 68 INCHES TALL. SO IN TERMS OF AND I WAS INTRIGUED BY THE BUTTERFLY, TOO. DID YOU WAS PART OF THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN ON EVERY CORNER TO HAVE SOME UM, SOME TYPE OF PLANTS THAT ATTRACT THE BUTTERFLIES OR MAYBE JUST IN A CERTAIN LOCATION. YES OH THIS HAS GONE THROUGH A COUPLE OTHER DISCUSSIONS AS WELL. AND WE KIND OF EVOLVED TO THE BUTTERFLY PART OF THIS. REALLY WHAT IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THESE SERIOUS OF TRIANGLES AND RECTANGLES AND THAT KIND OF STUFF THEN YOU CAN KIND OF PLAY OFF WHATEVER YOU LIKE. SO WE'RE GONNA SAY THIS ONE'S THE BUTTERFLY DESIGNATION. THESE ONES ARE THE ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. YOU CAN REALLY PLUG AND PLAY. HOWEVER YOU WANT S O COMING UP WITH THE IDEA OF WHERE EACH ONE GOES, THAT'S STILL TO BE DETERMINED. OKAY, BUT IT'S JUST A SIMPLE IS THAT PUTTING IT WHERE YOU NEED TO. YOU KNOW, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS UNTIL YOU PUT THAT TOGETHER WITH THE BENCHES, THE THREE BENCHES, BUT IT MAKES IT

[00:40:02]

BUT WHEN YOU STUCK IT TOGETHER ON A CORNER, IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE THAN SPREADING THINGS OUT, WHICH WE'RE SO USED TO GO THERE. THAT'S 12 INCHES. I THINK CURRENTLY THERE'S MAYBE ABOUT 6 TO 8. OKAY, GREAT. ONE LITTLE IDEA THAT CAME TO MIND ON EACH OF THOSE CORNERS. IF YOU'VE GOT A BIT OF A THEME TO IT, YOU COULD HAVE A NICE LITTLE PLAQUE EXPLAINING THAT THEME AND ADVERTISING AND LIKE TALKING ABOUT THE MONARCH INITIATIVE AND THE BUTTERFLY CORNER. TALKING ABOUT. THESE ARE THE KINDS OF NATURAL GRASSES. YOU HAD A PLANT IN YOUR HOME. ANOTHER CORNER LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EDUCATIONAL ELEMENT TO SOME OF THESE CORNERS. YOU NOTICE IN THIS PICTURE HERE, THERE'S JUST A LIMIT OF PLANTINGS JUST BEHIND THE BENCH IS SO THOSE COULD BE POCKETS OF THOSE AREAS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. BUTTERFLY DESIGNATION, LITTLE INTERPRETIVE STUFF RIGHT THERE, INCORPORATED IN. THE QUESTION IN YOUR INITIAL SET OF PHOTOS YOU HAD THE FLAGS THAT WERE OUT THERE, THOSE AIR PROVIDED BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF MCKINNEY ON DAMI CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I THINK ROTARY DOES THAT. FOR FREE, RIGHT? THE CITY DOESN'T PAY FOR THAT S O ARE THOSE GOING TO BE MAINTAINED HIS WAY BECAUSE THERE'S ARE ONLY DONE AT NATIONAL HOLIDAY. SO ARE WE GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP THOSE THERE? YEAH, THAT'S THE INTENT. UH THIS WAS TRYING TO WORK AROUND THE EXISTING STUFF THAT'S ALREADY WORKING AND NOT COMPETE. THAT SO ANYTHING THAT WAS THERE BEFORE PLAYING IT OUT. THIS SHOULD NOT IMPEDE THAT. SHE'S STILL COMPLIMENT THAT RIGHT? I SAW THIS AT THE PARK'S MEETING THAT I ATTENDED AND I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH IT. GIVE SOME UNIFORMITY TO THAT, LIKE YOU SAID, KIND OF. MISMATCHED AREA AND LIKE YOU SAID, HELPS WITH THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE. YOU STILL LOOK GOOD. EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT. YEAH, I WILL SAY IT LOOKS LOVELY. I THINK YOU'VE DONE AN AWESOME JOB. THANK YOU. WHAT TYPE OF AH TIMING DO YOU EXPECT FOR THIS? YEAH S O PRESENT. WE'D LIKE TO VISIT WITH THE MAIN STREET, UH, AMY'S MAIN STREET GROUP AS WELL, TOE WALKING THROUGH THE SAME PRESENTATION. MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT MISSING ANY NEW ONES THAT WERE UNAWARE OF. WE HOPE TO DO A LOT OF THIS WORK IN HOUSE.

BUT MARTY'S TALENT IN THIS TOWN TO TEAM WE THINK WE CAN ACCOMPLISH PROBABLY 70 TO 80.

IN HOUSE SOME OF THE FLAT WORK, POTENTIALLY GETTING CONTRACTOR. WE'RE HOPING THIS SUMMER IS THAT AFFAIR. FIRST MEMORY, OKAY? REALLY? IT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN WATER USAGE. WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW COMPARED TO THERE'S SOMETHING PLANTED. SO YOUR BIGGEST HIGHEST WATER USER IS LONG AND MAINTENANCE. YOU GOTTA FERTILIZE. THEY'VE GOT A WATER IF YOU GOT A MOMENT EVERY WEEK, AND SO WE'VE REDUCED THAT DRAMATICALLY. WHAT'S GREAT IS AGAIN I'M I'M KIND OF A TREE LOVER. I WAS URBAN FORESTER FOR TEXAS, SAYING THEM FOR A WHILE AND SO PROTECTING THOSE TREES WAS BIG FOR ME. BUT ONCE YOU REMOVE THE LINE, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD TAKE AWAY THE LINE, THEY TAKE AWAY THE WATER, AND THEN THE TREES SUFFER BECAUSE THEY'RE SO ADAPTED TO THAT WATER. WELL NOW THAT I'VE GOT PLANTS IN THERE, THAT TREE'S STILL GONNA GET THE WATER IT NEEDS. IT'S JUST LESS WATER. SPREAD EVENLY THROUGHOUT IT, SO THE MAINTENANCE IS FOR THE WATER IS GOING TO BE PROBABLY MINIMUM JUST BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLY JUST THE TRUMPS YOUR HIGHEST WATER USE WILL PROBABLY BE THE BOX WITH. BUT IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR NATIVE GRASSES AND YOUR NATIVE PLANTS, YOU SHOULD BE DRUG TOLERANT. SEPTIC TODAY. THIS THING IS YOU DON'T HAVE RABBITS DOWNTOWN TO EAT ALL THAT. NOT YET. YEAH, WAY MIGHT LATER. WAIT, DON'T YOU ALL RIGHT? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. AND I'M SURE THAT COMPLETES OUR PORTION OF OUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. UM, I GUESS I QUESTION WHAT IS THE UPDATE ON COTTONWOOD PARK.

I STILL SEE WORKERS OUT THERE EVERY DAY. SO DO WE HAVE AH, YEAH, WE HAD A BIGGER CHALLENGE. GETTING THE SIDE THAT'S BEEN A BIT DELAYED WERE SO HOPING MARCH. IN THAT SAME VEIN, WE HAD A MAJOR WATER LEAK AT THE SENIOR RECREATION CENTER POOL, IN PARTICULAR KUDOS TO OUR POLICE DISPATCH, WHO IDENTIFIED IT ABOUT 12 31 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. WATER KIND OF COMING OUT OF THE BUILDING. SO OUR TEAM JUMPED OUT THERE TO SHUT IT OFF IT CONTROL IT. WE'RE STILL ASSESSING DAMAGES FROM THAT THE GOLF COURSES WELL, THE CLUBHOUSE FLOODED WITH A BURST PIPE. WE ALSO HAVE DELAYS NOW WITH FURNITURE, FLOORING JUST KIND OF RIPPLE. EFFECT HAPPENED. WE GOT A BIT SO WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL THAT HAVE THE SENIOR REC CENTER AND OLD SELLERS OPENED UP THE SPRING. BUT NOW IT'S JUST A BIT OF THE FINER DETAILS. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. DO YOU HAVE FLOORING LAID IN THE SENIOR CENTER? UH, THE AREA THAT NEEDS TO FLOORING. NO SO WE GOT LUCKY THERE. NO FLOORING DAMAGED. MOST OF THE

FINCH AVENUE. MCKINNEY TEXAS, 7569 COMMENTS READ. I AM OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURE OF 2.5 MILLION FOR DESIGN SERVICES AT THIS TIME. WITH OUR SMALL BUSINESS, STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO INVEST THE HUGE AMOUNT OF RESOURCE INTO A DESIGN EFFORT. IN ADDITION, THE DESIGN COST TO EXPLORE EXPANSION OPTIONS IN AN ALREADY EXISTING ESTABLISHED FACILITY. SHRINKING MEMBERSHIP SEEMS EXORBITANT AT 2.5 MILLION. THE APPLICANT DETAIL HOW THE 2.5 MILLION DESIGN FEES WILL BE SPENT. WILL THIS GO OUT TO BID OR AS A VENDOR ALREADY SELECTED FOR THE DESIGN EFFORTS? TO ADDRESS THAT HE CAN.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO, I NEED EMOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OH, MY OCEAN. BY DEBORAH SECOND LIKE IT BY KATHERINE. WORD QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. SESSION A SOON AS WE COULD GET THE MOTION HERE CLOSE THAT. SO DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENT? SPORT COMMENTS ON THIS ONE? I HAVE A QUESTION. WELL WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE A QUESTION FOR MIKE? I THINK MOST OF THE QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMENT OR WERE ANSWERED BY MIKE'S PRESENTATION LAST MONTH, SO I MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE ANTICIPATED TIMELINE AND YOU MAY HAVE ANSWERED THIS LAST MONTH AS WELL. BUT I DON'T REMEMBER SO. WHAT'S HE ANTICIPATED TIMELINE FOR DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETE. SO THERE'S TWO COMPONENTS TO REQUEST. THE ADDITIONAL FEATURES IMMEDIATELY GET THOSE DINOSAURS POSSIBLE. WE'RE GOING OUT TO BID POTENTIALLY TO FIND A DESIGN FIRM TO FINISH DESIGNED FOR US. HOPEFULLY HAVE THAT DONE THIS SUMMER. WE ARE TRYING TO SPOT OUR WORK TO MARRY WITH THE OTHER EFFORTS BY OUR CITY STAFF AND OTHER BIG PROJECTS IS, YOU KNOW, SORT OF BEEN WITH THIS BRAVE LIMITED. SO TRISH JACKSON, AS YOU KNOW, WILL HELP US WITH THIS. WE'RE HOPEFUL, THOUGH, THAT GET GOING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SIR. BUT WHEN DO YOU WHAT DO YOU EXPECT DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETE, COMPLETE AT THE END OF THE SUMMER? NO NO, I STARTING THIS SUMMER. IT'S A ONE YEAR 18 MONTHS. PRIDE PROCESS FOR DESIGN. OKAY. SO ONE YEAR TO 18 MONTHS FROM THE TIME YOU STARTED, WHICH WAS AT SOME POINT THIS SUMMER, OKAY? YES, SIR. AND, UH, I GUESS MY QUESTION ABOUT THE DESIGN. IS ARE THE CHANCES THAT. DESIGN WILL NEED TO CHANGE BASED ON. CHANGES AND ONCE IN NEEDS WITHIN. YEAH, THE FACILITY. MAYBE YOU FIND OUT. X Y Z HAS BECOME VERY POPULAR AND YOU SHOULD INCLUDE THAT AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO A B C ANYMORE. THAT KIND OF THING. IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. SO FIRST AND FOREMOST THE AMOUNT OF SPACE WE HAD TO PLAY WITH PRETTY LIMITED. SO WE FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT WITH OUR CURRENT MASTER PLANNING EFFORTS THERE THAT WE WERE IDENTIFIED A WAY TO ENHANCE THE BUILDING TO BE FLEXIBLE. THEY HAVE SPACES THAT CAN EASILY BE CONVERTED AS TRENDS COME AND GO. WITH THE DESIGN ITSELF. WE FEEL THAT THE BIGGEST NEEDS FITNESS BASED FITNESS BASED FITNESS BASE. THIS IS GOING TO ADDRESS THAT. THE AREAS THAT MAY NEED SOME TWEAKING OVERTIME OFFICE BASED THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND STAFFING NEEDS AND WORK FLOWS.

ADJUST. BUT MEN I'M SURE I THINK, FOR THE MOST PART, THE FINAL DESIGN BE PRETTY LOCKED IN WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE. TWO QUESTIONS, SIR. WELL, THERE ARE QUESTIONS AS MUCH HIS

[01:00:02]

UH, I HAVE THE SAME. LOT IN MY HEAD IS WHAT THIS. IT ISN'T COMMENTS WERE ABOUT 2.5 MILLION. AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A. HUGE AMOUNT TO ME OR HER FOR PLANTS. HAD I ALWAYS JOKE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY IN THE WRONG BUSINESS. UM. SO CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THAT? AND THEN I HAVE A SECOND QUESTION IS WORK, COMMENT AS WELL. SURE SO THAT $2.5 MILLION DOES NOT NEED TO BE SPENT IN TOTAL. SO THAT IS REIMBURSEMENT SPENT EXPENSE. SO THE PROJECT ESTIMATE IS BETWEEN 25 $30 MILLION TO ACHIEVE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT THE FACILITY, SO WE ASSIGNING 10% DESIGN FEE, WHICH IS PRETTY STANDARD ACROSS MOST PROJECTS IN OUR DEPARTMENT, IN PARTICULAR. ACROSS THE CITY AT LARGE, SO THAT'S WHY THE $2.5 MILLION WAS IDENTIFIED AND THAT SOUP TO NUTS FOR EVERYTHING FROM FINE TUNING THE MASTER PLANS TO HAVING DOCUMENTS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTION READY. THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S REALLY THE STANDARD LIKE 10% OF THE COST OF THE BUILDING AND THE LANDSCAPING AND THE DIGGING AND THE DOUBLE. IT IS JUST FOR THE PLANS AND THE REV. IT DRIVES YES BETWEEN EIGHT AND 10% WE'RE SEEING ACROSS THE BOARD FOR OUR PROJECT, SIR. THE OTHER COMMENT. THIS IS REALLY MORE FOR THE BOARD. I'M WONDERING IF WE HAVE TO. HAVE AH, MORE DETAILED DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THE FUNDING WOULD HAPPEN TO THE ACTUAL PROJECT. MAYBE WE HAVE. IN TERMS OF THERE'S DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR US COMING UP. WITH THE 25 TO $30 MILLION AND I JUST I'M WONDERING IF WE SHOULD. THIS ONE MONTH. UNFORTUNATELY JUST TO JUST TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT. PUTTING THE 10% DOWN AND THEN WE'RE STUCK ON THE 90% LATER. SINCE YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS RIGHT NOW. UM. SO THAT'S NOT NOT A QUESTION YOU ANSWER IS MUCH MICAH'S FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, AND YOU COULD JUST DISCUSS THIS IN PUBLIC OR HOW YOU WANT TO DO IT. HE WON'T VOTE. YEAH, I HAVE SOME CONCERNS AS WELL. I'M KIND OF TWO MINDS ON IT. ON THE ONE HAND, I'M NOT READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE WHOLE PROJECT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE. MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS ARE DOWN SO MUCH, AND I TALKED WITH MIKE AND I THOUGHT THAT A GOOD WAY TO MOVE FORWARD WOULD BE TO DO IT IN CHUNKS. S O. I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THIS PART. COME, YOU KNOW WELL IN ADVANCE OF OUR SPENDING ON OTHER THINGS TO KIND OF SPREAD THIS OUT. BUT I. I KIND OF AGREE WITH YOU REGULATE. THIS IS A REALLY BIG PROJECT THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GONNA BE ON THE HOOK FOR AND I. WOULDN'T BE OPPOSED TO TAKING SOME MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT. AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUND IT. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST TIME DOING A BONDED PROJECT AND I'M A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT IT. I I'M ASSUMING THAT WILL HAVE TO BOND FOR IT. THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE. BUT. BUT IT MIGHT BE A PUBLIC BOND TO WRITE DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE OUR BOND. YEAH, IT COULD BE ON SO I THINK WE DO NEED TO CONSIDER IT. BIT BUT I WAS HAPPY TO SEE YOU KIND OF BREAK IT INTO PIECES. WHICH I THINK IS A GOOD THING. AND IF IT'S THE CASE THAT. GOING TO START DESIGNING THE SUMMER AND THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE YEAR TO 18 MONTHS, SO WE'RE TALKING SUMMER 2022, IF NOT LATE, 22 23. BEFORE YOU COME BACK FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING. I THINK THAT THAT WILL GIVE YOU TIME FOR MEMBERSHIP TO RECOVER AND THE EXPANSION TO BE MORE FINALLY, ON DAY ALSO, YOU KNOW TIME FOR US TO SPREAD UP SPENDING ON IT. SO IT'S LIKE I SAID, I'M OF TWO MINDS BUT I AGREE WITH YOU, RIGHT? YOU SEE BY GRANTING THE 2.5. LIKE, OKAY, THAT MEANS WE'RE REALLY GRANTING THAT. 25 TO 30 BECAUSE WE'RE CERTAINLY NOT GONNA WASTE 2.5 MILLION AND THEN CHANGE YOUR MIND. RIGHT, CORRECT. OH I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD ENOUGH DISCUSSION IS ABOARD ABOUT $30 MILLION SHIP. AGREE WITH THAT.

ASK ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP BECAUSE WE SEEM TO BE I MEAN, WE KNOW IT'S ALL COVERED RELATED BECAUSE OUR SPEAK TO THIS JUST SO I CAN REMEMBER THIS. PRIOR TO COVE IT WHEN WE WERE HEARING REPORTS, YOU'RE WORRIED YOU'RE MAX CAPACITY AND COULD NOT TAKE ON ANY OTHER MEMBERS BECAUSE OF THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND THERE WAS EVEN YOU KNOW? DO WE HAVE ANOTHER APEX IN HER ONE DAY IN ANOTHER AREA? AND SO AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

[01:05:03]

BUT ADD BRAND NEW BUILDINGS, AND I THINK OVER NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS, WE'LL HAVE TO DO A LOT OF THAT TOGETHER. PLEASE. GET AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION SAYS ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHILE WE'RE WAITING ON OUR ANSWER, FILLED IN INAUGURAL MEMBER OF THE ETHICS CENTER. I WILL JUST SAY HOW MUCH I HAVE PERSONALLY USED THE FACILITY AND APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORTS THAT YOUR TEAM HAS DONE TO BE PROACTIVE. IN ANTICIPATION, MCKINNEY IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW THEY NEED AND THE DEMAND FOR PUBLIC. AREAS LIKE THE APEX CENTER IS ONLY GOING TO INCREASE AND NO HAS PUT A DAMPER ON MEMBERSHIPS. ANDRE STAYING AHEAD OF THAT STAYING AHEAD OF BUILDING COSTS. I DO APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON. HAVING SOME COMMITMENT WILL ALLOW YOU TO LOOK OUTSIDE FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING, AND THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF OTHER GRANT FUNDING. SO IT IS A VERY COMPLEX. SET OF ISSUES THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH ANDRE. I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU ON THINKING ABOUT THE LONG TERM WE SOMETIMES GET VERY SHORT, TERM ORIENTED S O MAKING THAT COMMITMENT FOR ME IS IMPORTANT AND MOSTLY BECAUSE IT'S REALLY CLOSE AND I DO USE IT. SO I SEE. I SEE THE POTENTIAL ON GUY HOPE THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR COMMITMENT TO FACILITIES LIKE PAYCHECKS YOU TO GROW, SO IT'S

[01:10:07]

WOULD YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS? WE CAN APPROVE EVERYTHING BUT THE DESIGN AND TABLE THE DESIGN FOR NEXT MONTH FOR WEAKEN, APPROVE THE WHOLE THING. NO, I JUST NEED BASKET BEFORE WE GET TO THAT. JUST ANOTHER QUESTION. SO AS YOU TALK ABOUT USING A DESIGN, TOO TONTO LOOK AND SOURCE OTHER FUNDING MECHANISMS AS WELL. WHAT ARE THEY? ARE YOU GONNA ACTUALLY DO THAT? YES S OH, THERE'S TYPES OF GROUPS THAT YOU GO TO. SO, FOR INSTANCE, THE INDOOR TENNIS FACILITY, TEXAS PERSON WILDLIFE GAVE US A GRAND FOR $700,000 FOR THAT FACILITY. THEY'VE UPPED THAT SINCE THEN TO $1 MILLION GRANTS. AND SO IT COLLECTION OF THOSE IN AGGREGATE COULD PAY FOR A LARGE CHUNK OF THE FACILITY. AND I THINK WE'RE IN A GREAT POSITION IN THOSE GRANT APPLICATIONS BECAUSE THIS COST RECOVERY STATUS. I THINK THAT GOES A LONG WAY. THAT IS A MODEL FOR THE COUNTRY ABOUT HOW TO RUN THE FACILITY AND THEN HAVING THE PLANS COMPLETED SHOW EVERYBODY SUPPORT OF ALL LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP. HER MCKINNEY CHECKS ALL THE BOXES WITH THE GRANT COMMITTEE. WHAT'S THE TEMPERATURE ON CITY COUNCIL ON MONDAY? ON THE EXPANSION. I'VE NOT HEARD EITHER WAY FROM CITY COUNCIL ON THE TOPIC. PUT YOUR HONOR, I'M, SO I KNOW YOU'RE OKAY. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ENTIRE THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

SECOND, SO THAT'S A JOHN SECOND STEP. SECOND, MY MARY.

Louisiana Street, McKinney, Texas.]

EASTMAN KENNY SIX, SO ONE EAST LOUISIANA STREET MCKINNEY, TEXAS. GOOD MORNING. EVERYBODY CHANGE PRESIDENT HAND WITH ADDINGTON FUNDAMENT GENERAL PARTNER AND MANAGER AND HARRINGTON IS THE OWNER OF THE FLOUR MILL. IT'S BEEN MENTIONED A COUPLE TIMES TODAY, SO WE'RE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. OF PURE LIKE PUBLIC ART I'M SORRY. I HOPE YOU LIKE PUBLIC ART. WE'LL HAVE WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. THE REASON FOR TODAY IS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN A PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A LONG TIME. AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PHASE OF WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON TO WORK SITE TO BE HERE AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. HAVE YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW? IS CALLED ASHLEY'S GARDEN. AND IT'S A OUTDOOR SPACE THAT WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME BACK UP. WE HAVE A WEDDING. BEN, YOU BUSINESS. WE HAVE OTHER, UH, IT'S AN EVENT HALL, A COUPLE OF THEM. AND IN THIS PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE TOP PICTURE THE THAT'S ONE OF THEM. UP ABOVE.

THE TWO STORY BUILDING THERE. WE HAVE A BASEMENT UNDERNEATH AND THEN WE HAVE AN EVENT HALL UP ABOVE. AND. THE REASON THAT WE WANT TO HAVE ASKED HIS GARDEN IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR OUTDOOR SPACE FOR WEDDING CEREMONIES AND RECEPTIONS AND COCKTAIL HOURS AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES IN WITH HAVING A NICE. PARTY AT OUR LOCATION, SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE AN OUTDOOR SPACE AND WE HAVE QUITE A FEW OTHER OUTDOOR SPACES. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT WE'VE STARTED. THEO DEVELOPED AND THIS IS A PICTURE THAT WE TOOK A COUPLE PICTURES. THREE PICTURES THAT WE TOOK IN 2014.

GIVES THE DOUBLE SEVEN YEARS AGO. YOU COULD BELIEVE THAT ALREADY. HERE WE ARE. AND IT'S JUST WANTED TO SHOW THAT IT'S A IT'S A PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF DIRT AND SILK FENCES. NOT MUCH. LOOK AT REALLY. IT WAS COMING INDUSTRIAL LOOKING AREA AND.

[01:20:01]

AND SO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE $25,000 REIMBURSEMENT. WHEN THIS COMPLETE. ANY QUESTIONS? LOOKS LIKE THE 25. THE TURF IS ACTUALLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF THAT THING.

16 RIGHT. THE TERMS OF THAT A REAL LOOK REALISTIC COST BECAUSE I'VE HAD MY BACKYARD ESTIMATED BEFORE, AND 16,000 DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ENOUGH. HE'S EXPENSIVE, ISN'T IT? THE TURF I THOUGHT YOU WERE STILL. WE'RE STILL GETTING QUOTES ON THAT IT SEEMS LIKE THE IT'S A POPULAR ITEM. VIDEO A LOT. THERE'S SEVERAL COMPANIES THAT CAN QUOTE AND DO THAT, SO WE'RE STILL IN THAT PROCESS AND ANYTHING THAT GOES OVER. WHAT'S THIS? PAY FOR. 95,000 IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THIS GRANT. RIGHT SO YOU'LL BE ON THE HOOK FOR ANYTHING OVER THAT IF YOUR COSTS ARE WRONG, THAT'S CORRECT. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT HOW THIS IS SET UP. SO PADDINGTON IS YOUR HOLDING GROUP OF YOUR COMPANY, WHICH OWNS THE FLOUR MILL. ARE THERE OTHER IS THE ONLY BUSINESS OPERATED IN THAT SPACE. THIS EVENT SPACE OR THEIR OTHER TENANTS THERE OTHER TENANTS, OKAY, AND, UM. SO DO YOU OWN AND OPERATE THE EVENT SPACE AS WELL AS THE BUILDING ITSELF. SO HARRINGTON FUND DOES NOT EXIST. THE LANDLORD IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. THERE IS A SEPARATE ENTITY. THAT I'M A PART OF THAT RUNS AND OWNS AND OPERATES THE EVENT BUSINESS. IT'S A SEPARATE ENTITY ALTOGETHER, WHICH IS A TENANT OF A COMPANY THAT YOU ALSO WHICH IS A TENANT PAYS RENT EVERY MONTH. JUST SO I CAN POSITION WHERE THIS ISN'T MY HEAD. THERE WAS AH KINNEY EDUCATION FOUNDATION TRIVIA NIGHT. OUTSIDE NEAR THERE WAS THAT THIS SPACE SORRY. REPEAT THE QUESTION. THE M E. WAS A PARKING LOT. THAT WAS APPARENTLY THAT WAS THE LOCAL YOKEL PARKING ACROSS THE STREET. AT THE SAME IT'S NOT. IT'S FURTHER. IT'S FURTHER EAST. IT'S FURTHER EAST TOWARDS STRUCK MORE. THAT'S ACTUALLY ALMOST ON THE CORNER OF THROCKMORTON IN LOUISIANA, LOUISIANA. HEY, CINDY. IN TERMS OF WHAT THESE GRANTS ARE SET UP, ALLOWED TO SUPPORT THESE EXPENSE ITEMS SPIT IN THERE. I'LL DO IT RIGHT. SO WITH THE NEW OUTDOOR SPACE YOU HAD MENTIONED IN YOUR APPLICATION THAT IT COULD HOLD 150. THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD SIZE WEDDING.

YES. WHAT SO LIKE IF YOU USED HOW. I'M JUST THINKING IN TERMS OF IF YOU HAVE A WEDDING INSIDE. HOW WHAT? HOW LARGE. CASSIDY DO YOU HAVE THERE? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, PRE COVERT OR POST COVERT OR WHEREVER WE END UP WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THAT WITHOUT THE PANDEMIC? WE HAVE 250. PEOPLE THAT CAN BE INSIDE THAT UPPER FLOOR OF THAT BUILDING. THAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ASHLEY'S GARDEN. 250 UM, YOU COULD DO THAT. 2 50 INSIDE OF THIS COULD BE USED AS LIKE A COCKTAIL HOUR SPACE OR WHATEVER THE WEDDING OR COULD BE USED AS A STANDALONE WEDDING SPACE FOR 150. SO YOU HAVE THAT KID? OKAY I WAS JUST TRYING TO THINK OF THE CAPACITY THAT THIS ADS AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE. FOR SPACE. THE POTENTIALLY WENT UP TO 1 50 PEOPLE. WELL, WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER VENUE THAT HOLDS 150. OKAY IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, MORE INTIMATE, SO THIS IS QUITE AN ARRAY OF ARRANGEMENTS THAT A BRIDE COULD MAKE. THIS COULD BE JUST THE

[01:25:05]

I THINK I MIGHT GO AND KEEP THIS PUBLIC HEARING OPEN JUST IN CASE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS TODAY ON THIS ONE? WORKING BECAUSE IT WAS. YEAH. YEAH WAY ARE KEEPING IT OPEN. I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. I'M SORRY. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS GRANT OPPORTUNITY AND HOW YOU DECIDED TO APPLY FOR IT. THIS IS THE THIRD ONE OF THESE. I THINK WE'VE HAD I'M HAPPY TO SEE AN INCREASE IN. INTEREST IN THIS, SO I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAME TO APPLY FOR IT. I SPOKE WITH CINDY. ACTUALLY I THINK PROBABLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AGO, AND I HAD I GET THE EMAILS AND FROM M C D. C AS WELL. SO I SAW IT ON THE RADAR SCREEN. THEN I DID SPEAK WITH CINDY ON THE PHONE, AND SHE MENTIONED HEY, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUR NEW RETAIL INFRASTRUCTURE GRAND? AND I SAID YES, I HAD HEARD ABOUT IT. SO LITTLE BY LITTLE. WE STARTED PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER.

THIS COULD BE QUALIFIED FOR THAT. INFRASTRUCTURE THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FROM THE LIFE. WORDS WHO DID ONE OF THESE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOU SO. I WAS JUST INTERESTED, AND I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT WE DID SPEAK WITH HIM, AND THEN THEY BROUGHT IT UP AS WELL. THAT WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE UNDER IF ANYONE'S GOTTEN NOW TO SEE THAT IT'S A NICE ADDITION TO JUST JUST AREA THAT'S IN TRANSITION RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MCKINNEY, TEXAS. THANK YOU. I'M JAMES WEST. I'M SPEAKING TO YOU ABOUT THE DEL BLOCK, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY FROM TENNESSEE, TOO. JOHNSON STREET. THE ALLEY TO THE TO THE EAST. MILITARISM IT BY THE JP DOWN FAMILY. SEVERAL GENERATIONS INVOLVED, BUT BEGINNING IN 17 70 WHEN THEY MOVED INTO THEIR HOME AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY STARTED THE BUSINESS IS YOU SEE? THIS PICTURE SHOWS THE NOW BUILDING AND IMPLEMENT AND HARDWARE COMPANY. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE

[01:30:04]

YOU'RE BEING ERODED BY THE DAMAGE IT'S CAUSED HERE. LACKING A STORM SYSTEM IN THE CLAWS STREET AREA, ALL SURFACE WATER IS CONDUCTED HORIZONTALLY. FROM THESE DRAINS SYSTEMS ALONG THIS LONG WALL. AND OVER A PERIOD OF TIME IT'S ERODING. SUBSTANTIALLY AND BRINGING WATER INSIDE THE BUILDING AS WE'RE DOING INVESTIGATIONS OF DAMAGE, YOU COULD SEE WATER STANDING FROM THIS PRIOR TO THE LAST ICE EVENT FROM DRAINAGE IMPACTED ON THE OUTSIDE. WEST FACE OF THE DOW BUILDING AT TO AWAIT THE OLD TENSIONS. CURRENTLY THAT HORIZONTAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM HAS BEEN IN PLACE TO IMPROVE PERIODICALLY OVER 132 YEARS, AND IT'S JUST NOT QUITE DOING THE JOB. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT NOT ONLY THE JOINTS ARE AFFECTED, BUT ALSO OF INTER FRAMING. AND THE OVERALL HAPHAZARD APPROACH TO THIS HAS BEEN TO PUT ALL OF THIS ON THE DOW BUILDING, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY. THE CENTER OF THE OWNERSHIP OF THAT ENTIRE BLOCK. AS YOU SEE THESE BUILDINGS NOW GREAT TOWARD THAT BUILDING.

IMPOUNDING WATER AGAINST THAT BUILDING EVEN FURTHER. AND, OF COURSE, CURRENT OWNER IS NOW FACED WITH HOW TO IMPROVE THIS AND COME UP WITH A BETTER BETTER DESIGN. OBVIOUSLY LONG TERM, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO LOOK AT SOME KIND OF ARTWORK ON THIS WALL TO REPAIR IT AND SEAL IT AGAINST FURTHER WATER DAMAGE, BUT TO MEET IT CRISIS IS TO CHANNEL THIS WATER TO SAFELY TO THE ALLEY, WHICH IS TO THE SOUTH CLOYD STREET ALLEY. OUR SURFACE DRAINAGE SYSTEM HAS TO BE IMPROVED TO DO THAT. SO TO RE CONTOUR, THE GRAVEL SURFACE HERE AND TO BRING THAT WATER SYSTEM WHICH YOU SEE IS STACKING UP FROM THEM. ALL THE WAY FROM LOUISIANA STRAIGHT ALL THE WAY OVER HERE DEPLOYS STREET IS CAUSING ALL THIS TROUBLE. WHEN YOU SEE GROUND MISSING AND YOU SEE WHITE GROUND MIXED IN WITH SOME OF THE ORIGINAL GRANT, YOU SEE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY EFFORTS AT UPGRADING THIS. AND INVARIABLY, WHEN YOU HAVE THIS HAPPEN, YOU HAVE PLASTERED ALL RIGHT. TUCK POINTING OF THESE BRICK ELEMENTS BY PEOPLE WHO USE HIGH GRADE PORTLAND, WHICH IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ORIGINAL BRICK. SO YOU GOT A VARIETY OF HORRENDOUS LOOKS TO THIS SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND YOU HAVE WATER DAMAGE HERE. YOU CAN SEE BRICKS IS ACTUALLY HAVING KIND OF A CANCER WHERE THE WATER HAS CASCADED DOWN FROM ALL THESE BUILDINGS AGAINST THE NOW BUILDING. SO WHAT? WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO IT BRING SURFACE DRAINAGE BY USING A HOT MIX ASPHALT. SURFACE TO PULL THE WATER AWAY LACKING ANY STORM DRAIN SYSTEM. THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET IT OFF THE BUILDINGS AND ONTO THE SURFACE AND OUT TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. DID YOU SEE? HAPHAZARD. LOOK IS REALLY THE STANDARD OF THE DAY OF THESE BUILDINGS. HAVING DONE THE PIE EMPORIUM ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, THIS SAME PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED THERE, WHERE THE ENTIRE BACK WALL BUILT SIMILARLY WITH THE 12 INCH MYSTERY BONDED WALL FELL IN AND WE HAD REBUILD IT AS IT IS NOW. THE PIE EMPORIUM.

WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN WITH THE DOW BUILDINGS. CURRENTLY THESE CONDUCTOR HEADS CAN THEN BE DRAINED TO THE NEW PAVING THE HOT MIX, PAVING WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE EXISTING DRAINS. LOTS OF TIMES ENGINE. YOU THIS'LL FASCINATING? SO BASICALLY, THAT'S THAT'S A CONCLUSION THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO COMPLETE AND REPAIR THESE DAMAGES. AS YOU SEE. OUR

[01:35:01]

ON I APPRECIATE HEARING THE DETAIL OF THIS PROJECT AND ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST KEEPING THE PROPERTIES UP, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT SOME OF OUR EFFORTS IN HANDING OUT HANDBILLS THAT WE DID THIS SUMMER TONTO. BUILDING OWNERS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS MONEY IS AVAILABLE. I'M REALLY, REALLY GLAD AS A COMMITTEE THAT WE CAN BE A PART OF THIS INITIATIVE. I ECHO THAT COMPLETELY HAPPY TO SEE AS I SAID BEFORE, I'M HAPPY TO SEE AN INCREASE IN INTEREST IN THE RETAIL INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS. I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANOTHER ARCHITECT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT WOULD BE MORE RESPECTED. FOR HISTORIC BUILDING WORK. THEN JAMES, AND SO YOU HIRED BEST ARCHITECT THERE IS, I THINK AND SO HAVING SAID THAT? THOSE ARE THREE BAD WORDS. NO, NO, I'M GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. ACTUALLY FIRST OF ALL THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF YOUR BUDGET HERE IS WITHIN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR THIS GRANT REQUEST. SO WHY HAVE YOU ONLY ASKED US FOR $9000.1. $18,000 PROJECT? OH IT'S UP TO 25,000, BUT ONLY 50. GOTCHA. OKAY. TRYING TO GIVE YOU MORE MONEY. SORRY ACTUALLY, THE TRUTH OF IT IS WE'D LIKE TO COME BACK TO YOU BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT WALL, WHICH HAS TO BE REPAIRED. AND IN THAT WALL ALONE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT WHEN YOU COME DOWN THE STREET, YOU LOOK BACK THERE AND YOU SEE THIS DEVASTATION. SO CAM AND I WERE DISCUSSING THIS AND WE SAID, WELL, HOW WONDERFULLY WOULD NEED TO HAVE A MURAL. DEPICTING AN OUTDOOR SCENE. PICKING IN CONCEPT THAT VERY CONCEPT OF. MCKINNEY UNIQUE BY NATURE TO HAVE AH, LITERALLY A PAINTED LANDSCAPE BACK THERE TO MAKE A LANDSCAPED COURTYARD OF THIS UGLY ALLEY. WHEN WE STARTED, WE TALKED WITH ALL THE ADJACENT OWNERS. AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT WE JUST DON'T WANT TO HELP WITH THIS, BUT WE REALLY SEE THE PROBLEM IS ONE OF HOW TO MAKE. YOU'RE BUILDING SAFE AND WE UNDERSTAND YOU NEED TO PAVE IT. AND THAT'S A GOOD IDEA IS LONG AS YOU DO IT. SO NOW WE'RE FACED WITH THE MULTIPLE START EFFORT TO GET THIS THING TOGETHER. AND CAM IS ALREADY SETTING ABOUT THE RESTORATION OF THE JP DOLL 10 SHOP IS AN OFFICE SPACE SLASH RETAIL SPACE. AND IN DOING SO HE'S GOING TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY ON THAT. BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE EACH OF THESE PROBLEMS POINT IN TIME AND SEE HOW TO SOLVE IT. OVERALL SOLUTION IS NOT SO SIMPLE. BUT IT IS IN FACT ONE WE CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT RIGHT NOW. WE THINK THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FUNDING FUNDING TO GET IT DONE. AND CERTAINLY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME. CAM HAS A PICTURE. OF THE WEST SIDE OF THE EAST SIDE OF BUILDING SHOWING THE ORIGINAL JP DOW NAME ON THE BUILDING AND ANOTHER CURIOUS HORIZONTAL DRAINPIPE RUNNING AND RESTING ALONG THE SIDE OF IT. WAS ORIGINALLY THE WAY THEY DID IT, AND THEY CAN'T BE FAULTED BECAUSE EVEN TO THIS DAY, WE DON'T HAVE A STORM DRAIN AND FLOYD STREET. SO THIS IS AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM TO DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. WE'VE DISCUSSED IT MANY TIMES. AND WE SIMPLY WANT TO REPRESENT TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH. WHAT WE THINK WE CAN DO, WE COULD ALWAYS USE MORE MONEY'S IN THIS. IT'S IS PIECING IT TOGETHER WITH A TIGHT BUDGET. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION, BUT I THINK IT Z. IT'S A GREAT REPUTATION TO DEVELOP WITH US AS YOU COME THROUGH THESE GRANTS TO JUST ASK FOR ONLY WHAT YOU NEED.

YEAH. SAID GREAT MODEL FOR OTHER PEOPLE, KIRK YOUR WAY IN THE BACK THERE, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED. KURT WAS ON THE BOARD WHEN WE ORIGINALLY CAME UP WITH THESE GRANTS AT THIS IDEA FOR GRANTS AND. HAD WHAT WE HAD HOPED WOULD BE THAT PEOPLE WOULD COME IN WITH REAL ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES OR DRAINAGE ISSUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT NOT ASK FOR TOO MUCH, NOT JUST COMING. FLOOD THE BLOOD THE OFFICES WITH THE REQUESTS BECAUSE IT'S FOUND MONEY, AND I THINK YOU'RE EXEMPLIFYING THAT OF CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ONLY 18,000 TO DO THAT. I'M GLAD

[01:40:05]

DECISIONS SORT OF WAY WE CALLED IT THE AMICABLE ALLEY. SO WE COULD ALL WORK TOGETHER TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. WE WERE HOPING NOT TAKE EVEN COME TO YOU WAY WE'RE WORKING THAT IN SUDDENLY WHEN IT COMES TO SPENDING MONEY IN PARTS OF PEOPLE WHO GOT TO DO THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT WILL NOT BE RESOLVED OTHERWISE UNLESS YOU COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEM.

FIRST IS THEY DO BUT ALSO THE FUNDING TO DO IT. YEAH. THIS IS EVERY BUILDING HAS A FACADE. IT HAS AN EQUALLY NEGLECTED REAR FACADE. WE KNOW THIS AS MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY THAT THEIR DOWNTOWN HAS A REAR FACADE ISH. IT IS LITERALLY THE HORSE'S REAR END RIGHT NOW, AND I CAN I CAN TELL YOU THAT FOR 10 OF THE LAST 11 YEARS I LOOKED OUT OF MY OFFICE WINDOW DOWN INTO THIS ALLEY. AND SO I WISH YOU HAD DONE THIS 10 YEARS AGO, SO THAT I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO LOOK AT. BUT I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE DOING IT NOW. I THINK IT WILL SAVE THE BUILDING. THIS IS CAMPS. MISSION IS TO MAKE THESE FUNCTIONING. ACCOMMODATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ON LOUISIANA ARE GREAT. WE JUST NEED TO NOT NEGLECT THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING.
