BORDEN LIAISON REPORTS. I'M GOING TO START BY SAYING. SOME OF US WENT TO THE WOMEN AND SERVICE LUNCHEON HELD HELD IN APRIL, RIGHT? THIS MAN FIRST, UM AND. CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE LOVE LIFE FOUNDATION. OUR REMINDER TO ME IS DOING A BACKPACK DRIVE, SO EVERYONE HERE HAS THE WHOLE CARD. I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO BRING A BACKPACK TO OUR JULY MEETING, SO I'LL REMIND YOU AGAIN. MM. YOU TO DO THAT, AND ANY OTHER. WORDS THAT AIR HERE OR WHATEVER ANYONE. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES GET WITH YOUR BOARDS AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS DRIVE. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD EASILY BE DONE BY EACH ONE OF US TO PUT AT LEAST ONE BACKPACK TOGETHER. FOR THOSE THAT SO? WANTED TO MENTION THAT 12. CITY OF MCKINNEY. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS PAUL GRIMES CITY MANAGER.

HAVE JUST A FEW NOTES THAT I WOULD SHARE HERE. WE HAVE. WHO KNEW TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS YOU NEVER KNOW. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF ARRANGING FOR ORIENTATION FOR THOSE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS WANNA WELCOME BACK BOARD MEMBER RICHARDSON WAS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, ONCE AGAIN ON THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. UM. COUNCILWOMAN FELT US AND COUNCILMAN BELLER WILL BE GOING WELL. GIVE THEM WE'LL BE DRINKING FROM A FIRE HOSE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE'LL BE INUNDATED WITH LOTS OF INFORMATION IS PART OF THE ORIENTATION. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO THAT, AND I'LL JUST SHARE WITH YOU WHY WE'VE GOT BIG ISSUES THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL IS GONNA BE CONTENDING WITH, AND THEY NEED TO BE AS PREPARED AS POSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT. IN WHICH THEY MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. UM OBVIOUSLY CITY HALL IN OUR EAST SIDE REDEVELOPMENT. BIG DEAL LOTS HAPPENING, BUT WITH THAT ALSO COMES NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION. SO WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION.

INITIATIVE UNDER WAY LAID ALONGSIDE THE REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA. WE HAVE. DISCUSSION ON PARK LAND DEDICATION FEES IN THE CITY'S POLICY ON HOW WE WANT TO AMANDA OR CHANGE OUR PARKLAND EDIFICATION FEES. CALCULATION IF YOU WILL, ON DATS A POLICY DECISION AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS TO MAKE SO THOSE ARE BIG DECISION. THAT'S A BIG DECISION COMING UP DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATES. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IT'S BEEN. WE HAD TO GET OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN PLACE THAT ONCE YOU GET YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATED YOU THEN WORK ON YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE, YOUR DEVELOPMENT CODES AND ORDNANCES AND WE HAVE A CONSULTANT THAT'S BEEN WORKING WITH US THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE'RE GONNA BE BRINGING. WE'RE ANTICIPATING LATER THIS YEAR TO BRING THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? BECAUSE. OUR CURRENT CODE DEVELOPMENT CODE IS SORT OF THE BYZANTINE. IT'S A BYZANTINE PROCESS TO HAVE TO GO AND NAVIGATED. WE HEAR THAT FROM DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, SO OUR INTENT IS TO TRY TO STREAMLINE AND UPDATED, MODERNIZE IT MAKE IT EASIER TO READ MAKE IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND. AND ELIMINATE SOME THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CONTRADICTIONS OR CAN BE INTERPRETED HIS CONTRADICTIONS IN THE CODE, AND THAT WILL GREATLY GREATLY HELP US IN TERMS OF DEALING WITH DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS GOING FORWARD. BUT THERE ARE GONNA BE POLICY DECISIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, AND SO COUNSEL IS GONNA HAVE TO BE IN PLACE IN BE PREPARED TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. UM WE HAVE LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS AND DELIBERATIONS ON MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. THAT'S ONE OF OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES IS HOW TO LEVERAGE THE MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. THOSE AIR BIG DECISIONS ARE GONNA BE COMING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. AND THEN FINALLY, I SHOULDN'T SAY FINALLY BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER ITEMS. I'M PROBABLY MISSING THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS WE HAVE FINITE RESOURCE IS AND LOTS OF DESIRES AND ASKS, AND SO WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE THOSE AND.

THOSE WILL BE DECISIONS THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE TO MAKE. S SO THAT'S A TOUCH OF THEM. THERE WILL BE MORE ON. I KNOW I'M MISSING SOME. BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT THAT SORT OF EMERGE AND COME OUT MY MIND OR THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA BE THE MOST URGENT COMING UP. IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE LOTS OF FUN THINGS HAPPENING, LIKE THE BYRON NELSON, THE BYRON NELSON WAS A BIG SUCCESS. WE HAD LOTS OF LOTS OF GREAT FEEDBACK. WE WERE BENEFITED SOMEONE, OR WE

[00:15:04]

BENEFITED FROM THE FACT THAT WE HAD RELATIVELY SMALLER CROWDS THAN THEY NORMALLY DO. BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. THEY KEPT THE. DAILY ATTENDANCE TO ABOUT 10 TO 12,000 PEOPLE THAT ALLOWED US TO SEE WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME CHALLENGES NEXT YEAR WHEN WE EXPECT TO HAVE 40,000 OR MORE. EACH DAY S O. WE HAVE THE STAFF WILL BE WORKING WITH THE SALESMANSHIP CLUB FOLKS. DOING AN AFTER ACTION REVIEW AND I WAITED. WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT DIDN'T WORK? WELL GOOD NEWS IS FROM PUBLIX. FOR THE PUBLIC'S PERSPECTIVE. EVERYTHING WORKED PRETTY SMOOTHLY, SO WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT FORTUNATE. OUR BUDGET IS UNDERWAY. WE ARE WE HAVE ABOUT $28 MILLION OF ASKS IN NEW BUDGET MONEY AND WE HAVE ABOUT $67 MILLION. WE'RE ANTICIPATING A REVENUE PROJECTIONS. SO WE HAVE THE UNENVIABLE TASK WITH THIS HAPPENS EVERY YEAR, BUT WE HAVE TO REDUCE. THAT ASK DOWN UNDER THE LINE IF YOU WILL TO GET IT WITHIN THE AVAILABLE FUNDS ON THAT WILL BE A CHALLENGE. OF COURSE, IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS, WE WILL BE PRESENTING THE BUDGET BALANCED BUDGET TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND EARLY AUGUST. AND IN THE CITY COUNCIL WILL DELIBERATE AND FINAL ADOPTION. THE BUDGET BE IN MID SEPTEMBER, AS IT IS DONE EVERY YEAR. AND THEN FINALLY, I WOULD POINT YOU TO OUR CITIZENS SURVEY WE DID OUR BI ANNUAL CITIZEN SURVEY. THIS IS THE ONLY RANDOMLY SAMPLED SCIENTIFIC SURVEY THAT CITY MCKINNEY DOES MOST CITIES DON'T DO IT ALL. BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CITIES THAT DO DO THEM. THIS IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR NATIONAL FOR CITIZEN COMMUNITY SURVEYS, AND WE'RE BENCHMARKED AGAINST COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY BASED ON THE DATA, AND YOU CAN KIND OF BENCHMARK AGAINST COMMUNITIES BASED ON POPULATION SIZE AND.

SOCIAL DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES, ETCETERA. IT'S A VERY GOOD SURVEY. YOU CAN FIND IT ON OUR WEBSITE. I'D RECOMMEND YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THERE'S LOTS OF REALLY INTERESTING INFORMATION THAT IS DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THIS. M. C. D. C. IN TERMS OF PRIORITIES OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY THE TYPES OF THINGS THEY WANT TO SEE. MIGHT POINT OUT OPEN LANDS. EYES CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE TOP. I THINK IT WAS THE TOP UM. RESPONSE RATE, IF YOU WILL FOR PRIORITIES FROM RESPONDENTS OF THE SURVEY, SO DON'T READ IT ANY MORE THAN ESTHER'S, RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY. BUT IT IS HELPFUL INFORMATION TO HAVE TO GUIDE YOU AND THE CITY COUNCIL. AND EVEN STAFF ON MOVING FORWARD WITH DIFFERENT POLICY INITIATIVES, SO I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. SO I HAVE. HAS COUNSEL APPOINTED NEW LIAISONS TO BOARD TOO. DON'T BELIEVE SO. I THINK THAT'S COMING UP. IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT THE MAYOR DOES IN THE COMING MEETINGS, PROBABLY COUPLE MINUTES. HARD QUESTION OUT. ANSWER OFF THE TOP HERE. IS YOUR TALK ABOUT THE SURVEY AND YOUR TIME HERE, PAUL. THIS IS A THIRD BIANNUAL SURVEY THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THIS FIRM. AND THE MAIN LEAD. I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD SAY A SHIFT. WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THE. OPEN LANDS. PREFERENCE IS SOMETHING THAT HAS PROBABLY GOTTEN STRONGER IN THAT TIME. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ THAT OTHER THAN MAYBE PEOPLE ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF ANXIETY TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT AS WE BUILD OUT THERE WORRIED ABOUT PRESIDENT PRESERVING OPEN LANDS. BECAUSE THEY SEE MASSIVE SUBDIVISIONS AND BUILDING GOING ON AND IT MAKES THEM THINK, CHIEF. IT'S NICE TO MAINTAIN THOSE OPEN LANDS, WHICH MCKINNEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF KNOWN FOR. UM, SO THAT HIS STRENGTH AND I THINK THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS, UM. YOU KNOW THE COMMUNITY. FEEDBACK ON TERMS OF POSITIVITY. IF YOU WANT. THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN VERY STRONG. WE DID. WE DID DROP A LITTLE BIT AND TRANSIT.

THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A SURPRISE BECAUSE OUR TRANSIT PROGRAM IS DEMAND DRIVEN. OTHER WORDS, IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, YOU WON'T SEE IT. YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO SEE IT IF YOU ARE ASKING FOR THE SERVICE OR DEMANDING THE SERVICE, AND IT'S ONLY IT'S LIMITED RIGHT NOW TO ELDERLY, DISABLED AND LOW INCOME FOLKS, SO IF YOU'RE NOT ANY OF THOSE CATEGORIES. IN ANY DRIVER CENTRIC MADE OF SUBURBAN ENVIRONMENT, LOW DENSITY YOU MAY NOT SEE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE BUS IS DRIVING AROUND THAT ARE BASICALLY ADVERTISEMENTS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WE HAVE TRANSIT. UM. THAT MAY BE A GOOD THING BECAUSE THOSE BUSSES WERE EMPTY. WE DON'T WANNA BE PAYING FOR EMPTY BUSSES WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND DRIVERS ANYWAY, SO THAT'S A THAT IS SOMETHING THOUGH, THAT WE'RE MINDFUL OF THAT HAS DROPPED AND SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE LAST SURVEY FROM TWO YEARS AGO. AND WE'RE NOT SURE HOW TO ATTRIBUTE THAT OTHER THAN MAYBE THE PANDEMIC FOCUSED PEOPLE MORE ON IT. I DON'T KNOW. WE ARE SENIOR CENTER WAS CLOSED DURING THAT TIME. MAYBE MAYBE THAT WAS SORT OF SOMEHOW IT WAS. WAS HOW THEY PROJECTED THOSE CONCERNS IS I DON'T HAVE A WAY AT THE SENIOR CENTER CLOTHES OUT OF THE WAY TO GET THERE ANYWAY. I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE'RE MINDFUL OF IT. WHERE WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS CITY COUNCIL MEETING THE OTHER DAY. UM THE ONLY

[00:20:04]

OTHER THING I WOULD POINT OUT IS THAT WHICH IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. I COULD REMEMBER.

WE HAD THE SAME SURVEY COMPANY IN MY PREVIOUS COMMUNITY, NORLAND PARK, AND SO I'VE SEEN IT FROM MORGAN PARK AND EVEN HERE. OVER TIME, THE WAY PEOPLE WE ASK PEOPLE. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR NEWS? WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION ABOUT CITY SERVICES, ETCETERA, AND IT'S AMAZING TO SEE EARLY WHEN WE FIRST DID. A SURVEY WAS MOSTLY THE NEWSPAPER. AND NOW IT'S MOSTLY WEBSITE. IT'S AMAZING HOW AND EIGHT YEARS TIME OR WHATEVER IT'S BEEN. YOU'VE SEEN THAT SHIFT. IT'S PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE NOW. THE TAKEOVER OF THE DIGITAL WORLD OF THE WEB BASED INFORMATION SOURCES HAS ALMOST BEEN COMPLETED. AND SORRY TO MY NEWSPAPER FRIENDS HERE. BUT THE NEWSPAPER FOLKS OR EVEN ONLINE IN DIGITAL, SO IT IS THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT HAS EVOLVED OVER TIME. IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT. YEAH, THEY'RE GOING BACK TO OPEN SPACES. SO HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE CITY? TO TRY. TO WELL, SPACE IS REMEMBER WHEN I TALK ABOUT CAPITAL BUDGET PRIORITIES, SO WE HAVE AUTHORIZED FUNDS FROM THE VOTERS TO SPEND MONEY ON A VARIETY OF VARIOUS THINGS. THEY DID FIVE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

WHEN WE BROUGHT THOSE BOND QUESTIONS. FORWARD AND ONE OF THE MR PARKS AND RECREATION, SO YOU KNOW IT'S ABOUT MY LAND. IN BUYING LAND, OF COURSE, WITH LAND PRICES GOING UP IS IN A CHEAP PROPOSITION, BUT IT'S A MATTER OF YOU KNOW IS THAT A PRIORITY AGAINST THE OTHER PRIORITIES THAT WE HAVE. THAT EVEN WITHIN PARTS OF RECREATION, AND SO MY KOWSKI HAS THE WAY THOSE THINGS AND SAY OK, WHAT WE NEED TO DO BUT OUR PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN, REMEMBER, WE'VE ADOPTED THAT WE ARE MIKE IS EXECUTING ON THAT PLAN. $200,000,250 MILLION MASTER PLAN. AND THIS FIRST INSTALLMENT OF 91 MILLION. I THINK IT WAS IN THE BOND QUESTION WAS THE FIRST IT WAS A DOWN PAYMENT TOWARD ACHIEVING THAT MASTER PLAN, WHICH INCLUDES ACQUISITION PARKS. I THINK THE TAKEAWAY FROM THAT IS HE DOES THE PUBLIC. APPEARS TO KEEP WANTING US TO DO THIS, WHERE THEY WANT US TO ACQUIRE LAND AND KEEP GROWING OUR PARKS. FOR VARIOUS RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. TO DOVETAIL WITH THAT. HOW DOES THAT INTERACT WITH THE CHANGES YOU'RE GONNA MAKE TO PARK LAND DEVELOPMENT FEES? ARE YOU GONNA PROPOSE TO BE RAISING THOSE? WELL, WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS. WE WE'VE WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A EXPERT CONSULTANT WHO DEALS WITH THESE THE ANALYZES THESE THINGS ALL AROUND. IT'S A CHALLENGING ISSUE BECAUSE THEIR DEVELOPERS WOULD HAVE ANOTHER SAY ABOUT PARTNER AND DEDICATION FEES. AND I CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING YET, BUT I DO BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THOSE FEES. UM BUT HOW WE HOW WE ROLL IT OUT IS GONNA BE THE POLICY QUESTION FOR CITY COUNCIL. STAFF IS WHAT ZIFF WAY NEED TO COME UP WITH A FORMULA THAT WE CAN DEFEND ANDRE. THAT'S IMPORTANT. THE FIRST THING IS GET THE MATH RIGHT AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE ROLL THIS OUT AND HOW WE DO IT? IT'S NOT GONNA BE, YOU KNOW. IT WAS THE FRAME OF THE TERM AND USES TOUCH POP. WE DON'T TOUCH POP THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND WE COULD DO THIS OVER TIME, AND THAT'S REALLY THE SWEET SPOT. WE HAVE TO TRY TO FIND. SO THE REAL CHALLENGE THE POLICY CHALLENGE THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL HAS TO DEAL WITH. IN STAFF, FOR THAT MATTER IS THE MOST FOLKS PAY FOR WHEN YOU BUY A HOME. YOU YOUR HOME IN A SUBDIVISION EFFECTIVELY HAS ALREADY HAS THE COST OF LAND DEDICATION FOR PARKS BAKED INTO THE VALUE THAT HOME OR BAKED IN THE PRICE OF THE HOME. BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER HAD TO FACTOR ALL OF THAT INTO THEIR COSTS IN DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN THAT'S SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE VARIOUS HOMES. AND YOU PAID FOR THAT. IF YOU HAVE NEW FOLKS COMING INTO TOWN, NEW DEVELOPERS COMING IN BRINGING NEW RESIDENTS, YOU'RE PLACING MORE DEMAND ON THE SYSTEM. IT'S JUST LIKE IN UTILITIES INDUSTRY WHEN YOU HAVE A CAPACITY CHARGED, AND THEN YOU HAVE A USES CHARGE, RIGHT? NASTY CHARGES FOR NEW CAPACITY, BIGGER PIPES. MORE NEW SERVICE. YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THAT, AND THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE USAGE. HEARTLAND DEDICATION FEES. IF YOU'RE BRINGING NEW FOLKS IN, YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THE DEMAND YOU'RE PLACING ON THAT SYSTEM. THERE'S ARGUMENT IS ALWAYS ABOUT HOW MUCH DEMAND MY GONNA PLACE VERSUS THIS AND THERE'S MULTI FAMILY HAVE THE SAME MATTER DEMAND A SINGLE FAMILY. S SO THAT'S THAT'S PART OF WHY WE HAVE EXPERTS HELPING US NAVIGATE THOSE ISSUES. BUT IF I'M HAVING TO IF I DON'T CHARGE ENOUGH FOR THE NEW FOLKS COMING IN AND PLACING DEMANDS ON THE SYSTEM THAT I'M GOING BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS HAVE ALREADY PAID AND I'M HITTING HIM AGAIN. WITH BOND ISSUANCE PAY. IT'S GONNA BE BAKED ON THE. THE PAYMENT OF BONDS GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR ACQUISITION PART IS PUT INTO THE TAX RATE, SO THEY'RE PAYING THAT WAY. AND SO WE REALLY TRY TOE STRIKE THAT BALANCE AND YET WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS. PLACED US ISN'T OUT. LIAR IF YOU WILL, WITH RESPECT TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, SO THAT'S THE BALANCE. WE'RE TRYING TO STRIKE AND WE DO THAT IN CONSULTATION WITH OUR CITY COUNCIL OR STAFF. SULTANS AND THEN TRY TOE. FIND THAT RIGHT

[00:25:03]

PLACE TO BE, AND THAT'S NOT ALWAYS AN EASY THING. BUT WE GENERALLY A PRETTY SUCCESSFUL DOING THAT. THAT HELPED US ALONG WHEN IN RESPONSE TO A SIMPLE QUESTION. YEAH, I THINK WE WILL HAVE MORE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT IS YOU GUYS MOVED THROUGH THAT PROCESS? I HAVE A QUESTION IN. MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS. YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED EVEN WHEN I SAID ON COUNCIL ABOUT. TRYING TO PRESERVE HOW LAND FOR HOUSING OBTAINABLE HOUSING. DO YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE BUDGET, THE CITY WILL START CONSIDERING ANY TYPE OF ACQUISITION. OF LAYING. THAT MIGHT BE A BIT, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TOGUT FOR OBTAINABLE HOUSING. IS THAT ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED? IT WILL BE CONSIDERED. I DON'T KNOW YET ABOUT THIS BUDGET CYCLE, MAYBE A NECK AND FOLLOWING BUDGET CYCLE, BUT WE ARE GETTING UNDER WAY. NOW WITH. A CONSULTANT TO WORK WITH OUR STAFF ON IDENTIFYING STRATEGIES FOR PRESERVATION OF NEIGHBORHOODS AND FINDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AS YOU KNOW. FINDING STRATEGIES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AS YOU KNOW, WE DID A STRATEGIC HOUSING ANALYSIS THAT LOOKED IT ALL OVER HOUSING STOCK, AND THEY FOUND THAT THE GAP ONE OF THEIRS AGAIN, WHICH IS NO SURPRISE. ANYBODY IS THE. THE FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER THE STARTER HOME AS WELL AS AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOMES FOR FOLKS WHO MAYBE AREN'T READY TO BUY A HOME, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE WANTING TO WORK HERE AND BE PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S A THAT'S AN AREA WE'RE REALLY FINDING AND IT Z. NOT JUST MCKINNEY ISSUE IS REGIONAL ISSUE, AND IT'S EVEN A NATIONAL ISSUE. BUT THERE ARE STRATEGIES WE CAN DO. AND SO WE'RE WORKING NOW WITH A CONSULTANT TO HELP US FIND HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO REDEVELOP EAST SIDE, FOR EXAMPLE? WE DON'T WANT TO DISPLACE FOLKS. WE DON'T WANT A RESULT IN. PUSHING FOLKS OUT OF THEIR HOMES, WHICH IS ALWAYS A CONCERN, SO THERE ARE STRATEGIES THAT WE CAN TAKE THAT THE STATE ALLOWS US TO DO RIGHT UNDER STATE LAW IN TEXAS, THERE SOMETHING'S STATE OF TEXAS WON'T ALLOW US TO DO THAT OTHER STATES MIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO NAVIGATE THAT WE'RE GONNA COME UP WITH AN APPROACH AND THEN BRING THAT FORWARD OF THE CITY COUNCIL. I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE IT READY FOR THIS BUDGET CYCLE, BUT PROBABLY THE NEXT ONE. BUT THAT WILL BE THOSE WHEN I TALKED ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION THAT'S GOING TO BE A KEY ISSUE IS THE PACKAGE OF STRATEGIES THAT WE ADOPT WILL BE A COUNCIL DECISION. THANK YOU. THE OTHER QUESTION. OKAY, THANKS VERY MUCH. EXPLICIT MCKINNEY. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DDG ERA WITH VISIT MCKINNEY S SO WE'RE STARTING TO SEE SOME ARE FPS. WE ACTUALLY HAD A PLANNER COME IN YESTERDAY AND VISIT WITH THE SHERATON AND THEY GOT A VERBAL AGREEMENT, SO WE'RE HOPING TO SEE THAT ASSOCIATION BUSINESS COME BACK BECAUSE THE SHERATON IS REALLY THAT'S WHAT THEY RELY ON. IS THAT. CORPORATE GROUP TRAVELER STILL VERY STRONG ON THE WEEKENDS WITH WEDDINGS. ANY TYPE OF LEISURE SPORTS. UM IT'S BRINGING A LOT OF STILL ATTENTION TOE MCKINNEY. WE ALSO JUST RECEIVED WORD FROM MATT HANLON THAT HE WANT ANOTHER PIECE OF BUSINESS. HE WON AN INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR TENNIS TOURNAMENT, SO WE'LL BE HELPING HIM WITH THAT, AS WELL. UM AND THEN WE HAD A REALLY GREAT PICKLE BALL TOURNAMENT LAST MONTH, AND I JUST WANNA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ANGELO TRADITION WOODS BECAUSE SHE WAS WILLING TO BE PART OF THE CELEBRITY TOURNAMENT THAT GOT RAINED OUT, BUT.

JUST THANK ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED TO BRING THAT TOURNAMENT HERE AND JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH JOHN DRAGO AND HIS TEAM MOVING FORWARD. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. WE ALSO HAD A MEETING WITH THE CHAMBER. THEY HAVEN'T MCKINNEY RESTAURANT COUNSEL THAT CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF COVE IT ON ON MONDAY, WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE SOMEONE FROM, UH, THE RESTAURANT COUNSEL OUT OF THE STATE. AND THEY CAME AND SPOKE TO THEM, SO THERE'S KIND OF FORMING A LITTLE CHAPTER HERE IN MCKINNEY ON, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT REALLY TAKES OFF AND THAT WE'RE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, LEVERAGE A LOT OF THINGS OFF OF YOU KNOW THESE RESTAURANTS BEING, YOU KNOW. COLLABORATING SO THAT YOU KNOW WE COULD HELP WHEN PEOPLE COME IN WITH COUPONS AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THINGS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE OUT AND DRIVE PEOPLE TO THEIR BUSINESSES. BUT THERE

[00:30:01]

WERE THREE THINGS THAT THEY REALLY TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR, AND ADVOCACY.R ONE WAS PROMOTION. ON THE THIRD ONE WAS HAVING TO DO WITH REGULATIONS. SO WE REALLY HOPE TOMBO ABLE TO HELP THEM WITH ALL OF THAT, AND I KNOW THAT I'LL BE LOOKING TO SEE IF CINDY CAN HELP ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ASKED FOR IN THE PROMOTION WAS TO SEE IF WE COULD DO LIKE A. VIDEO OF FLAVOR KIND OF HER A TASTE OF MCKINNEY ON DSA, SO JUST KIND OF SEEING HOW WE CAN COLLABORATE FOR THAT WE HAVE HIRED A SMURF SALES MANAGER.

WELL, WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR BLOODLUST PLAN LEFT TO DO. UM AND THEN WE ONE OF THE BIG THINGS FOR THE D. C THAT WE'RE GONNA START DOING MOVING FORWARD IS, UH, WE'VE MADE KIND OF A IT'S NOT NOT A STAFFING CHANGE BUT A ROLLS. KIND OF POSITION ADJUSTMENT FOR MADISON CLARK ON OUR TEAM. SHE IS GOING TO BE KIND OF SPLITTING HER TIME NOW IN RE ARE VERY PROGRAMS ARE BUSINESS RETENTION. IN OUTREACH PROGRAM TO WHICH. FORK OF IT. WE HAD STARTED TO REALLY GAIN STEAM WITH THAT PROGRAM WITH GETTING OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY AND REACHING OUT THE BUSINESSES AND THEN ONCE THE FACE FACE OPERATIONS WERE SHUT DOWN, AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING WAS SHUT DOWN. THAT PROGRAM HAS KIND OF SLID TO THE SIDE BECAUSE WE.

NOT ABLE TO REALLY ENGAGE. WE TRIED DOING A VIRTUAL B R E PROGRAM FOR A WHILE. HAD A LITTLE BIT OF SUCCESS WITH IT, BUT WITH I THINK WITH OVERALL ATTITUDE OF ZOOM FATIGUE AMONGST EVERYBODY. IT'S JUST ONE LESS ZOOM MEETING PARTICULAR TO PARTICIPATE IN.

THEY CHOSE TO NOT TO NOT DO IT, SO WE'RE HAPPY THAT THINGS WERE GETTING BACK TO SOME SORT OF NORMAL SITUATION SO THAT WE COULD START REENGAGING WITH OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. AH AND I KNOW AGAIN RIGHT BEFORE COVE IT WE HAD ADDED CDC INTO THAT WE ARE A TEAM OF THE CVB THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. NOW THIS CDC IN THE EAST. ALTOGETHER, TONTO.

GET MORE TRACTION AND ACTUALLY GET MORE EXPOSURE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FOR THOSE BUSINESS RETENTION VISITS. IT'S STILL A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT WE DO. UM IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ENGAGING WITH OUR EXISTING BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR HOME TEAM IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. SO TO SPEAK. SO YOU CAN PROBABLY LOOK FOR SOME OR ACTIVITY COMING FROM FROM NOW MOVING TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR ON OUR VERY SIDE. THAT'S ABOUT ALL THAT'S HAPPENING NEW RIGHT NOW STAND FOR ANY QUEST. COMPUTER CAN I JUST HAVE A SURE PLACE FOR YOU AND ALSO ON LINDA. THEN THEY TOLD ME ABOUT A WEEK AGO. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SHARING THE COMMUNITY BOOTH. SHARING YOUR PRESENCE OR DEVELOPING RATHER THAN HAVING A SMALL BOOTH.

WE'RE HANDING OUT AND SANITIZER OR. OR SUNSCREEN, THAT TYPE OF A PRESENCE TO ACTUALLY COMBINE SPACES AND. DELIVER MUCH LARGER PRESENCE. YES, I WANT TO SAY LIKE A YEAR AHEAD OF TIME. THIS IS A FROM A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE. THERE'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY I THINK TO HAVE SOME KIND OF A LARGER INTERIOR SPACE FOR THE PUBLIC. NOT MUCH. YOU'RE SWEET DRINK LIKE THAT.

MOVING ON TWO ADAM 21 DAYS SHE BEFORE 63 UPDATE ON PROJECT FOR B,

[Update on Project 4B 20-06, Submitted by Hugs Café for Purchase and Installation of Greenhouse Heaters, Electrical Infrastructure and Misters.]

20-6 SUBMITTED BY HUGS CAFE FOR PURCHASE INSTALLATION OF GREENHOUSE HEATERS, ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND MISTERS. RIGHT. HI. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I AM LAWRENCE SMITH, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR HUGS, CAFE AND HUGS GREENHOUSE. IT IS SO NICE TO SEE YOU AFTER A YEAR. FROM WHEN I SUBMITTED A REQUEST. I AM HERE TO JUST SHARE WITH YOU AND UPDATE ON THE GREENHOUSE AND WHERE WE HAVE BEEN. DO I DO MY OWNER? DO YOU DO IT? OKAY, I'LL JUST TELL YOU THAT WAY. OKAY SO, AS YOU KNOW, THE MISSION OF HUGS GREENHOUSE AND HUGS CAFE INC IS TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THROUGH TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT. THE SALES LOCATION FOR HUGS. GREENHOUSE AS MOST OF, YOU KNOW, HAVING COME OUT TO THE HUGS GREENHOUSE LOCATION FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING OUR ADDRESSES CHANGED. THANK YOU. GOOGLE EYES NOW 1151 EACH KIND OF CHILL PARKWAY. YOU CAN FIND US. TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NINE A.M. THREE PM AND SATURDAYS DOWNTOWN. AT THE MCKINNEY FARMERS MARKET AT CHESTNUT SQUARE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE EIGHT A.M. TO NOON, AND IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME OUT THERE OFTEN SEE CINDY OUT THERE WHEN I'M DOING FLOWERS WITH BILL.

IT'S A. RIGHT MORNING, SO FIND US AT THE GREEN AND BLUE TENT AND COME GET YOUR FLOWERS FROM HUGS GREENHOUSE WHILE WE'RE DOWNTOWN. COVERED WAS CERTAINLY A CHALLENGE FOR US. WE HAD SOME INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS THAT ALLOWED US TO DELIVER URBAN PERENNIAL KIDS TO CUSTOMERS. SO

[00:55:06]

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME TO THE GREAT HOUSE. WE CAME TO YOU THROUGH REMOTE DELIVERIES, SO THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. PEOPLE CONSIDER GARDENING A PRIORITY IN 2020, WHICH WAS GREAT FOR US. OUR FLOWER AND PLANT SALES INCREASE AND OF COURSE, FROM YOUR SUPPORT, WE WERE ABLE TO ADD OUR PROPAGATION TECHNOLOGY, SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE WE WERE ABLE TO DO. DURING OUR SLOW TIME OF AUGUST. THE SCOPE OF THE FUNDING THAT YOU GUYS SUPPORTED WOZ FOR THE INSTRUCTION. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS FOR HUGS GREENHOUSE THAT INCLUDED THE POWER, THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF HEATERS.

PURCHASING INSTALLATION OF A MISTING SYSTEM AND THEN THE PURCHASE AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ONE PROPANE TANK TO FUEL THE HEATERS AT OUR GREENHOUSES. THE PROJECT BUDGET INITIALLY OUTLINED $13,324 FROM M. C. D C THAT REFLECTED 33.8% OF THE TOTAL GREENHOUSE BUDGET. THE FIRST PART OF THAT WAS SUPPORTED BY HUGS GREENHOUSE GALA. WHERE WE RAISED THE FUNDS TO BUILD OUR FIRST TWO INITIAL GREAT HOUSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES TOTALED $13,313. SO WE CAME IN $11.38 UNDER BUDGET. AND SO WE WON'T OBVIOUSLY BE SEEKING THOSE FUNDS FROM YOUR BIRTH MOTHER. WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT UNDER BUDGET, BUT ALL GOALS ACHIEVED. AND THEN I HAVE A LITTLE RECAP VIDEO HERE OF THE PROPAGATION RIBBON CUTTING TO SHARE. SOME MASK WAS THERE.

MY ONLY COMMENT. DAVID, I'M REALLY SAD ABOUT THE MUSTACHE BEING GOD EVEN NOTICED THAT TODAY'S ME I'M NOT IF YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK. NO OBJECTION. SO, YOU KNOW. OKAY NEXT PLANE WITH OKAY, SO THE IMPACT FROM THIS SUPPORT HAS ALREADY BEEN HUGE. THAT GREENHOUSE RIBBON CUTTING WAS OCTOBER 8TH. AND FROM THAT POINT WE HAVE ALREADY GROWN 1750 PERENNIALS FROM CEILING OR CUTTING, AND WE ALSO GREW 425 POINTS THAT IS FROM CUTTING.

THAT HAS GENERATED OVER 15,100 IN SALES AND OUR PRODUCT COST HAS BEEN REDUCED ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 20% DEPENDING ON THE VARIETY, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT AS WE'RE GROWING MORE PERENNIALS ALL THE TIME. WE'RE NOW YOU'RE AROUND GROWING BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO. CAN I JUST INTERRUPT YOU REAL FAST? YOU JUST SAID THAT. YOU'VE SOLD $15,000 PLUS AND PRODUCT AS A RESULT OF OUR $13,000 INVESTMENT, EXACTLY, SIR.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO PAY BACK IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR AND. PROBABLY YOU'RE GOING TO GROW THAT REVENUE OVER TIME, AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE 15,000 NEXT YEAR. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT IT'S REALLY GOOD INVESTMENT BY US. WE THINK SO, TOO. SO CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH GREAT JOB WITH THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE HEATERS OF WHAT YOU WERE PREY ABLE TO ABLE TO PROVIDE. TEXAS HAS INCREDIBLY UNUSUAL WEATHER THAT PROVIDED AN ESSENTIAL INSURANCE POLICY FOR OUR PLANS AND OUR PRODUCTS. SO COME MARCH WITH PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR PLANTS. WE WERE AHEAD OF THE GAME. AND THAT WAS HUGE AND PROBABLY SAVED OUR MARCH AND APRIL SALES, WHICH WERE DOUBLE LAST YEAR SALES, WHICH WERE ALREADY AN INCREASED FROM 2019, SO WE HAVE SEEN INCREMENTAL GROWTH YEAR OVER YEAR. WE'RE VERY EXCITED. IN ADDITION TO THAT ANOTHER GREAT PART OF THIS IS WE HAVE TWO NEW EMPLOYEES, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE HUGE SUCCESSES IS WE ARE CREATING MORE WORK AS WE ARE GROWING, AND WE HAVE PATRICK AND SERENA THAT IF BOTH COME ON, SERENA JUST GRADUATED FROM M I S T S TRANSITION PROGRAM, AND PATRICK HAD INCREDIBLE LOVE FOR FLOWERS BUT NEEDED NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAD ANY JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY. SO NOW THEY'RE HAPPILY EMPLOYED WITH US, AND WE COULD NOT BE

[01:00:05]

MORE EXCITED. SO COME VISIT PATRICK AND SERENA THE GREENHOUSES WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE, AND NOW YOU HELP MAKE THEIR JOBS POSSIBLE, SO. NOW I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO HUNTER IS OUR GREENHOUSE LEAVE BEFORE YOU GUYS GAVE THE PROPAGATION SUPPORT. NONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES KNEW HOW TO DO THIS SKILL OF GROWING FROM CUTTINGS OR SEEDS. WE WERE DELIVERED VERY SMALL PLANTS, AND OUR JOB WAS TO MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T DIE. WE WATERED THEM TOOK CARE OF THEM AND SOLD THEM TO YOU AS BIG PLAN. NOW WE ARE TRULY TENDING FROM STEALING OUR OWN CRAP. SO I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU. SOME OF HUNTER'S NEW SKILL.

YEAH. YEAH. SO HUNTER IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER SIX EMPLOYEES, WE NEVER HOW WE NOW HAVE HOW IT HUGS GREENHOUSE. THEY ALL NOW KNOW THE SKILL OF PROPAGATION.

THEY'RE ABLE TO TEACH IT TO OUR NEW VOLUNTEERS, AND THAT MAKES THEM MUCH MORE MARKETABLE IS EMPLOYEES FOR POTENTIAL FUTURE EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER VENTURES BUT ALSO INCREDIBLY SKILLED FOR WHAT WE DO, AND WE'RE ABLE TOLO. HEY, THE MEANINGFUL WAGES AND MEANINGFUL GROWTH IN THEIR WAGES BASED ON THEIR SKILL IMPROVEMENT, SO THAT'S HUGELY MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROPAGATION IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER SUPPORTING HUGS, GREENHOUSE OR HUGS, CAFE AND OTHER WAYS YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER. CHECK OUT OUR AMAZON WISH LIST. FIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA HOST OF FOOD DRIVE OR MATERIALS. DRIVE FOR HUGS, CAFE OR HUG SCREEN HOUSE AND, OF COURSE COMPLY ARE PLANTS AND SANDWICHES AND KEEP TELLING FOLKS ABOUT MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AND HUGS. NEXT LINE. SO THAT IS EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE TO UPDATE YOU WITH TODAY.

I'LL OBVIOUSLY STAND FOR QUESTIONS, BUT THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US FOR SUPPORTING HUGS. UH, RUTH BILL AND MYSELF. WE. COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT YOUR ADVOCACY AND JUST YOUR CONSTANT GENEROSITY. SO WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK FOR BIGGER ASKS AND FUTURE GROWTH IN THE FUTURE. LAUREN ARE YOU STILL DEVELOPING AND INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH H AWAYS? YES, SIR. AND I WAS ACTUALLY SO GLAD YOU ASKED THE RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU GAVE US FROM THAT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY HAS ALREADY BEEN REALIZED IN ONE LOCATION. THAT VIRGINIA HELLS YES, SIR. RIGHT AND I, AND THAT'S AWESOME. AND THEN, UH, AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY ON DETROIT. BORED WITH THAT. IT'S WORKED OUT WELL, SO I HOPE THAT'S A VERY, VERY LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP. BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO VISIT WITH KATHY PALACE, AND SHE'S ONE OF THE PARTNERS AT ALGONQUIAN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. SHE HAS NUMEROUS H ALWAYS THAT SHE SUPPORTS AS A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY. SO I DON'T WANT TO MAKE SURE. AND ARE YOU THE RIGHT PERSON TONTO CONNECT FOR THAT VISIT? YES, RIGHT. OKAY. AND JUST OUTREACHED EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE OR ON CAMERA IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULARLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR H AWAY. BETTER THAN THE ONE I HAVE THE STONE BRIDGE. UHH! UH YOU KNOW, PLEASE REACH OUT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL LOOKING FOR FLOWERS, AND THERE'S NO REAL COMMITMENT. I DON'T THINK WITH WHO YOU HAVE FLOWERS. FROM AND TO SUPPORT HUGS AS PART OF THAT OPPORTUNITY COULD BE A HUGE REVENUES BOON FOR YOU GUYS. SO JUST THINK ABOUT THAT. THOSE THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE GOT A CHOO A RELATIONSHIP. I'LL JUST SAY IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT. JACKIE SAID A MOMENT AGO. THIS IS HOW YOU DO FOLLOW UP. GREAT JOB, LAUREN AND THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK TO US, AND I'LL JUST SAY TO OUR OTHER RECIPIENTS OUT THERE IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS HOW YOU DO FOLLOW UP IN THE BEST WAY TO GET A SECOND CONTRIBUTION IS TO TELL A DONOR. THANK YOU AND WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR MONEY AND WHY IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. SO PERFECT EXAMPLE. AND HOPEFULLY OUR. FUTURE GRANT RECIPIENTS WILL TAKE YOUR LEAD. IN THE VARIOUS WAYS IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT RETURN ON

WELL, SINCE YOU MENTIONED THAT ITWAS WAY HAVE ALREADY FROM OUR GALA FUNDS ABLE TO CONSTRUCT TWO ADDITIONAL SHADE STRUCTURES THAT SUPPORT. WHOLESALE PRODUCT VIA ANNUALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
