NAME IS BETH BENTLEY. IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. WHAT MAKES MCKINNEY UNIQUE BY NATURE. IT EXTENDS BEYOND CRAPE MYRTLES AND A THRIVING DOWNTOWN. IT IS MY HOPE THAT MORE POSSIBILITIES CAN BE ENVISIONED. AS YOU CONSIDER THE PLANS FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDING FROM THIS UNPLANNED OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE BY LAYING A SURE FOUNDATION FOR DESPERATELY NEEDED HOME REPAIRS, HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN OLD EASTERN MCKINNEY. BY DEFINITION GENTRIFICATION IS THE PROCESS WHEREBY THE CHARACTER OF A POOR URBAN AREA IS CHANGED BY WEALTH ERA PEOPLE MOVING IN IMPROVING HOUSING AND ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESSES TYPICALLY DISPLACING CURRENT INHABITANTS IN THE PROCESS. AS A RESULT OF ACCESS TO FUNDING THROUGH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. GENTRIFICATION DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE PLIGHT OF OLDIES. MCKINNEY HOWEVER, EVEN MORE RESPONSIBLE, THOUGHTFUL, VERY INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CERTAINLY CAN BE THE PLIGHT. WITH THE BALANCE OF DOLLARS THAT ARE UP FOR DISCUSSION. CITY LEADERSHIP HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE THE TRAJECTORY OF THE CURRENT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN A WAY THAT REFLECTS THE CURRENT COMMUNITY. AND HONORS THE LEGACY OF THOSE WHO INVESTED THEIR LIVES, THEIR BLOOD, THEIR MONEY AND THEIR DIGNITY INTO EASTERN MCKINNEY. PART OF THE CITY'S WEBSITE. THIS LANGUAGE CAN BE FOUND CREATING ONE COMMUNITY ONE VISION ONE MCKINNEY 2040, CITED IN THE STRATEGIC DIRECTION OF THE QUOTE MALE DISTRICT OVERVIEW. THE MIDDLE DISTRICT IS OFTEN DESCRIBED AS THE MOST DISTINCTIVE AND REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT MAKES MCKINNEY UNIQUE IN THE REGION AMONG THE 17 DISTRICTS THAT COMPRISE THE LARGER PLANNING AREA. IT IS THE ONLY ONE SLATED FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT LEVEL OF REDEVELOPMENT, END QUOTE. WHILE IT IS NOT CITED AS SUCH, THIS AREA IS ALSO SLATED FOR SIGNIFICANT GENTRIFICATION, A WORD THAT IS NOT FOUND WITHIN THE LETTERS OF THE PLAN. YET THEY ARE DEAD LETTERS THAT WILL TRULY LIVE. IT WILL SET THE PACE FOR MCKINNEY FOR THE COURSE OF PRESERVING WHAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN THE BLACK IN HISPANIC NEIGHBORHOODS OF THIS COMMUNITY. ALSO CITED IN THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PER THE SECTION NAME ANTICIPATED PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND INITIATIVES, THE NUMBER ONE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY THAT DECIDED INVESTMENT AND NEEDED REPAIR AND REHABILITATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE MAIL DISTRICTS, EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE LEWISVILLE COMMUNITY. THIS TAKES FINANCES WELL BEYOND THOSE WITH THE ESTABLISHED BUDGET OF THE OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THE GENERAL FUND. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SET A COURSE. BEYOND ANYTHING THAT THE CITY HAS SEEN, SO PLEASE CONSIDER A SLOW, STEADY, INTENTIONAL PACE THAT WILL SURELY HELP BRING THIS COMMUNITY. TO A BETTER PLACE. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. THANK YOU, BETH. RIGHT? I DO NOT SHOW ANYBODY ELSE WE WILL MOVE TO DISCUSSING

REGULAR MEETING AGENDA ITEMS. WOULD LIKE TO VISIT ABOUT 21 0041. CELL TOWER. THIS TRIP.MOVEMENTS, ARNOLD GOOD AFTERNOON FOR BEING HERE. UH MY READING OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1986 SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT. TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS ARE TO BE PLACED. AND IT'S A PRIORITY. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER SIMILAR LAND AND. AREAS AVAILABLE TO PLACE ONE OF THESE STRUCTURES. IT'S ALMOST WE CANNOT DENY THE REZONING. I WANTED TO KNOW SINCE THE LAST TIME THIS CAME BEFORE US. WE'LL ALTERNATE SITES HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED, IF YOU KNOW. AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL WITH ANY OF THOSE ALTERNATE SIDES. SURE, SO I DO KNOW THAT OVER THE LAST MONTH OR SO THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH STAFF AS WELL AS OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT ON. EXPLORING ALTERNATE SITES AS WELL AS
[00:05:03]
EXPLORING THE EXISTING WESTRIDGE ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS SITE TO SEE IF THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR THEIR NEEDS. I DO KNOW AS PART OF THIS, THEY HAVE LOOKED AT A TOTAL OF THREE ALTERNATIVE SITES. BELIEVE TONIGHT, THEY'LL WALK THROUGH A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO TALK ABOUT THE THREE SITES THAT THEY'VE LOOKED AT. AND WHY THEY'VE LANDED, UM, ON THE LOCATION THAT THE RAT ON THE PROSPER I SD SCHOOL SITE, PART OF WHAT WAS LOOKED AT OVER THE LAST MONTH WAS WHETHER OR NOT THE POLE COULD BE RELOCATED ON THAT SITE, PERHAPS TO THE EASTERN SIDE. I'M NOT QUITE AS CLOSE TO THE RESIDENTIAL. UNFORTUNATELY THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH PROSPEROUS D. THEY WEREN'T SUPPORTIVE OF THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXPANSION PLANS FOR, UH, PORTABLE BUILDINGS ON THAT SIDE OF THEIR PROPERTY, AND SO WHERE IT IS, WORD IS PROPOSED TODAY IS FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE ONLY SITE. ARE THE ONLY LOCATION ON THEIR SITE THAT THEY WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF, UM FROM PROSPEROUS. D I DO NOT KNOW THAT WE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE WEST RIDGE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK SITE AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT WOULD. SATISFY THE APPLICANTS NEEDS BUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD FROM THEM AND THE PROPAGATION MAPS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THEM THUS FAR HAVE INDICATED THAT THE WEST RIDGE STORAGE TANK IS TOO FAR SOUTH. TO SATISFY THE NEEDS THAT THEY HAVE TODAY. DO. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ON STAFF WHO CAN VERIFY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TELL ME? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO JUST TAKE THE APPLICANTS? WORD FOR IT? MEAN VERIFYING THAT THEY'VE THE DIFFERENT SITES THAT THEY'VE LOOKED AT. I MEAN, YOU'RE KIND OF AT THE SAME POSITION WE ARE, WE DON'T REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE US WITH NOTICE OR DOCUMENTATION. WE KIND OF ARE IN THE SAME POSITION THAT YOU ARE WHERE WE HAVE TO TAKE THEIR WORD FOR WHAT THEY'VE LOOKED AT. AND WE DO. WE ALSO TAKE A LOOK TO SAY, HEY, WE KNOW THAT THERE IS AVAILABLE SITES IN AND AROUND THIS AREA. HAVE YOU TALKED TO THESE FOLKS? HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THESE SITES AND THEY'RE GOING TO TELL US YES OR NO? AND SO WE KIND OF WE TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT IN THAT WAY, BUT WE DON'T REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE US FORMAL NOTICE OF THAT. TO YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILMAN. I ASKED HIM TWO OR THREE TIMES ABOUT THE PROPAGATION MAPS FOR THE WEST RIDGE R S T. AND. NEVER GOT HIM. UH YOU'RE WELCOME TO ASK HIM AGAIN TONIGHT. THE RESPONSES THAT I WOULD GET. IN ADDITION TO WHAT JENNIFER IS ALREADY MENTIONED IS. WE'RE SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE SCHOOL SITE THAT. WE DON'T WANT TO TURN IN THE COURSE TODAY AND I LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT GET A QUESTION ABOUT THAT. SO.THAT'S WHERE WE SHOULD THEY THEY WERE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN. HARD TO GET AHOLD OF, BUT THEY DID NOT GIVE ME THE INFORMATION. I ASKED FOR. MR. YOU BOTH. THANK YOU. ALL I HAVE, MR MAYOR. YES. SO THAT WE WILL MOVE TO OUR WORK SESSION ITEM. IS ITEM 210569 UPDATE ON
[Update on American Rescue Plan Act Funds]
THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS. STROLL AWAY. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.MARK HOLLOWAY, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY. I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK TO YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OF 2021 WAS SIGNED INTO LAW ON MARCH 11TH OF THIS YEAR. IT WAS DESIGNED PRIMARILY AS AN ECONOMIC RELIEF PACKAGE DUE TO THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC IT BUILT ON SOME OF THE PILLARS OF THE CARES ACT THAT CAME BEFORE IT. AND PROVIDES FOR ABOUT $1.9 MILLION IN OUR $1.9 TRILLION IN STIMULUS LEGISLATION. YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE, UM, THIS PROVIDED FOR A LOT OF THE MONEY WENT FOR DIRECT PAYMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS AND EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. HOWEVER THE ACT ALSO PROVIDED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND RELIEF TO GOVERNMENT ENTITIES. UNLIKE CARES, WHICH WENT THROUGH OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITIES AND PASSED THROUGH TO US AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, THE RP FUNDS PROVIDED DIRECT PAYMENTS TO METROPOLITAN CITIES FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES.
THESE ARE THE FUNDING AMOUNTS THAT CONGRESS IS ALLOCATED AS YOU CAN SEE, WE FALL IN THE METROPOLITAN CITIES ABOUT $45.6 BILLION. OF THAT THE CITY, UH, IS GOING TO RECEIVE $23.1 MILLION OVER THE NEXT TWO FISCAL YEARS. IN FACT, WE HAVE. THIS IS HOW THE FUNDS WILL COME OUT. UM LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING 50% WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN 50% WE RECEIVED THAT ON IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AND WE EXPECT THE REMAINING 50% TO BE PAID BY THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT IN JUNE OF 2022. WE MUST HAVE ALL FUNDS OBLIGATED IN CONTRACT IT BY DECEMBER OF 2024. THEN EVERYTHING MUST BE SPENT. AND THE REPORTING MUST BE FILED WITH THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. BUT BY DECEMBER OF 2026. THESE FUNDS ARE WERE VERY, I GUESS. IT'S A. POURING
[00:10:09]
INTO THAT THESE ARE THE OTHER GRANT FUNDS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED DURING, UM. THIS PERIOD AS YOU CAN SEE, INITIALLY, WE RECEIVED. WE HAVE RECEIVED CLOSE TO $60 MILLION AND SPENT CLOSE TO $23 MILLION. THIS, UH, THIS, UH. SLIDE IS A LITTLE BIT OLD. UM, BUT IT'S UH, PROBABLY PUT IT CLOSE TO THAT. UH BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT RESIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS WE HAVE RECEIVED CLOSE TO $12 MILLION. WE'VE SPENT SIX MILLION OF THAT. COVID 19 RESPONSE THAT WAS DIRECT CARES. ACT MONEY FROM WE HAVE RECEIVED AWARDED AND SPENT THOSE BALANCES. UM A LOT OF THAT WAS IN THE REIMBURSED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PAYROLL. AND A LOT OF OUR SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS CAME OUT OF THAT FIRST, UM COVID MONEY. AIRPORT RECEIVED $468,000 OF THAT 375,000 IS SPENT. THE TRANSIT PROGRAM IS STILL THAT THOSE DOLLARS ARE STILL BEING DETERMINED HOW TO SPEND THEIR $8.8 MILLION THERE. AND THEN TO SMALLER GRANTS FOR THE POLICE AND E. M S AND UP FOR DISCUSSION TODAY FROM THE U. S TREASURY OR THE CORPORATE FUNDS, WHICH IS 23.19. BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU KIND OF WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED THUS FAR TODAY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. NOW THESE ARE THE FUNDS ARE ARE FAIRLY RESTRICTIVE IN NATURE.UM, AND FOR THE MOST PART, THEIR FORWARD LOOKING AND THESE THIS INTERIM FINAL RULE PERMITS THE FUNDS TO BE COVERED IN THESE FIVE CATEGORIES. THEY'RE STILL ISSUING. IN FACT, WE GOT ONE LAST WEEK, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SENT OUT SOME NEW DIRECTIVES DIDN'T CHANGE THESE TOO MUCH, BUT THANKS. KEEP CHANGING AS WE GO. TWO OF THESE AFFECT US THE MOST DIRECTLY, BUT YOU CAN SUPPORT PUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURES, UH, WITH THEM ADDRESSING NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT IMPACT CAUSED BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. THE THIRD ONE HERE, REPLACE LOST PUBLIC SECTOR REVENUE. THIS ONE IS REVENUE REPLACEMENT FOR THINGS THAT WE LOST DURING THE PANDEMIC. THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS NOT FORWARD LOOKING. YOU COULD ACTUALLY LOOK BACK.
THERE'S A CALCULATOR THAT THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES, AND THEN WE CAN DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF THE OF THE FUNDS WERE ALLOWED TO CALL LOST REVENUE. MM. PROVIDE PREMIUM PAY FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS. AND THEN FINALLY, UH, THE OTHER ONE THAT OF DIRECT INTEREST TO THE TO THE CITY IS INVESTING IN WATER SEWER IN BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE FUNDS ARE FAIRLY RESTRICTIVE AS FAR AS AS THEY GO TOWARDS CITIES. SO WITH THOSE. BROAD GUIDELINES THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN US FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF THE MONEY. WE KIND OF DID AN INTERNAL CALL FOR PROJECTS. ASK, YOU KNOW, UM. ALL THE DEPARTMENTS TO TALK ABOUT. WHAT THEY COULD SEE THE MONEY BEING SPENT ON. SO FIRST OFF, AND WE EVEN TALKED ABOUT THIS DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS LAST YEAR WOULD BE MAKING THE APEX CENTER HOLE. UM, THE APEX CENTER WAS PROBABLY THE MOST AFFECTED FUND DURING THE PANDEMIC. IN FACT, IT STILL HAS NOT RETURNED THE REVENUE LEVELS TO THE PRE PANDEMIC LEVELS AND ALMOST ALL OF IT AND IN FACT, ALL OF THE APEX CENTERS FUND BALANCE THAT IT. BUILT UP OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WAS DEPLETED.
SO UH, THE APEX CENTER WOULD BE POTENTIAL PROJECT OF ABOUT $2.9 MILLION. PERFORMING ARTS CENTER LOST ABOUT $150,000 DURING THE PANDEMIC TAMPERING. WE WOULD PROBABLY SUGGEST PUTTING THOSE BACK TO MAKE THOSE HOPES. THERE WAS ALSO A CALL FOR FOUR PLUS MILLION DOLLARS IN EAST MCKINNEY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. WE HAD THREE MAJOR PROJECTS THERE AND THEN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT FOR CITY HALL INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT'S THE PLUS IN THE FOUR PLUS MILLION.
ARTIE PROVIDED A PROJECT OF ABOUT $1 MILLION FOR FIBER EXPANSION TO OUR CITY PARKS IN THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE. THIS WILL PROVIDE WIFI TO ALL THE CITY PARKS AND THEN, UH, AND ALSO IN THE CITY SQUARE. WE ALSO HAVE CALLED FOR ABOUT $15.3 MILLION IN ACTIVE AND FUTURE CPP REQUEST THESE WOULD BE THESE WERE IDENTIFIED BY, UM ENGINEERING. PUBLIC WORKS IN I T TO BE USED TO OFFSET OUR REVENUE BOND SALES EACH YEAR. THESE WERE ALL WATER, WASTEWATER, BROADBAND AND DRAINAGE PROJECTS, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE ABOUT $145 MILLION WORTH OF THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS IN OUR FIVE YEAR C I P. SO THIS WAS THESE WERE PROJECTS THAT COULD BE STARTED COMPLETED IN THIS TIME FRAME THAT WE CAN OFFSET SELLING REVENUE BONDS FOR AND THEN ALSO ABOUT $2.5 MILLION FOR SOME ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT FIT WITHIN THE. PUBLIC WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE AND DRAINING STORMWATER. THESE CAME UP TO ABOUT 25 MILLION ALMOST $26 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS
[00:15:06]
INTERNALLY. WHEN I SENT IT OUT, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T SAY HEY, WE ONLY HAVE $23 MILLION. THIS IS JUST THESE WERE THE PROJECTS ARE RETURNED. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR FROM THE COUNCIL IS KIND OF A DIRECTIVE. IF THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT YOU WANT TO FOR US TO PURSUE IS WE PUT TOGETHER THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 LIKE I SAID, WE WILL, UH WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ALLOCATE SOME OF THE FUNDS AS YOU SEE FIT THAT WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED IN FISCAL YEAR 21. AND WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR SOME GUIDANCE AS WE GO FORWARD. IN THE FISCAL 22 BUDGET THAT THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT YOU LIKE US TO PUT THE RP FUNDS TOWARDS. WITH THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR OR HAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON THAT. QUESTION. SURE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THESE MONIES CANNOT BE SPENT. ON ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ON A PUBLIC PROPERTY. SO IF WE WENT IN TO HELP AN INDIVIDUAL OR A BUSINESS SPECIFICALLY, THESE ARE NOT THESE FUNDS CORRECT. THIS ISN'T THAT TYPE OF FUNDING THIS. THIS IS MORE FOR THOSE THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS IF THEY FIT SOMEWHERE IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURE OR THE. NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS. UM POSSIBLY YOU COULD DO THAT. BUT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING ANY TYPES OF CITY PROJECTS, THOSE WOULD BE NEED TO BE PUBLIC DOLLARS. YES. I'M SORRY, DID I? WELL, I WAS TALKING ABOUT. HELPING INDIVIDUALS, HOMES, INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS MONEY IS ALLOCATED FOR. IT COULD IT COULD BE USED IN THE SECOND ONE THERE FOR HOUSEHOLD SMALL BUSINESS AND IMPACTED INDUSTRIES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. SO IT COULD POSSIBLY BE USED FOR THOSE. HOWEVER AS I WAS SHOWING EARLIER, WE HAVE, UH, DONE SOME OF THAT AND STILL HAVE DOLLARS TO SPEND IN SOME OF THESE OTHER CATEGORIES.RESIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE. WE STILL HAVE QUITE A LARGE BALANCE THERE TO SPEND. AND WE'VE DONE ALREADY ABOUT $4.5 MILLION IN SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS, SO ANY OF THOSE COULDN'T LOOK BACK ANY WITH THESE DOLLARS, WE WOULD NEED TO BE LOOKING FORWARD FOR THOSE TYPES OF IT COULD. USE THESE FUNDS TO OPEN CERTAIN AREAS IN THE CITY. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THOSE TYPES OF CITY PROJECTS, THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE LIMITED TO WATER, WASTEWATER, DRAINAGE AND BROADBAND. YES, SIR. REMAINING FUNDS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. WHAT ARE THE PLANS TO DEPLOY THOSE FUNDS? WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO TALK TO JOIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. SHE KNOWS THE EXACT PROJECT DETAILS, BUT YOU KNOW, MOST OF MOST OF THOSE HAVE BEEN, UH, YOU KNOW, ALLOCATED. TO FROM THOSE SPECIFIC CDBG, AND I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN EACH ONE OF THOSE. LET ME GET THAT INFORMATION FROM HER AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU. AND IN TERMS OF. THE SIP.
PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE. THOSE ARE PROJECTS WERE ALREADY SLATED TO DO AND WE HAVE BONDING CAPACITY TO DO THE RIGHT. THIS WOULD ACCELERATE THEM. UM, IT COULD ACCELERATE SOME. IT ALSO COULD YOU KNOW. NEXT YEAR INSTEAD OF IF WE DECIDE TO DEPLOY THOSE. THOSE DOLLARS TO THAT. YOU KNOW YOUR YOUR REVENUE BOND SALES WOULD BE LESS THAN THE NEXT YEAR. BUT THE. THESE WERE THE 15.3 MILLION THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO WERE ACTIVE PROJECT. THAT THE. WATER, WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE WILL PLAN TO BE SPENT ON BY THE YEAR NEXT YEAR. IF WE DIDN'T IF WE DECIDED NOT TO ALLOCATE ANY FUNDS, THOSE PROJECTS STILL GET DONE, CORRECT. YES, THEY DO. IS THERE A PLAN YET FOR THE 8.8 MILLION FOR THE TRANSIT PROGRAM, BECAUSE THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY. NOT THAT I'VE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE TRANSIT PLANNING, BUT. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, AS FAR AS I KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT. IT'S WHERE THE COUNCIL JET COMES IN. I'M STAYING. THEY'RE JUST I WAS READING SOMETHING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHERE. FEW CITIES. NOT ONLY DALLAS IS LOOKING AT OFFSETTING SOME OF THIS MONEY TO HIRE PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS. DID SEE IN THE ONE SLIDE. OF THE ESSENTIAL WORKER. PREMIUM PREMIUM PAY FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS. I KNOW THAT'S CONFUSING HOW IT'S. HOW THAT AND I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. BUT IF YOU HEARD ANYTHING OF ANYONE ELSE DOING THAT. THEY
[00:20:01]
WERE PROBABLY USING THESE ONE TIME DOLLARS TO OFFSET. RAISES PREMIUM PAY, AND THEN THEY COULD HIRE ON THE BACK BACK IN WHICH I WOULD PROBABLY IN OUR SITUATION SAY THAT THESE ARE ONE TIME DOLLARS. LET'S SPEND THEM ON ONE TIME. ITEMS WOULD BE HESITANT. TO FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT TO USE ONE TIME MONEY TO PAY FOR ONGOING OPERATING COSTS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SUSTAINED YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR. USUALLY A NO. NO IN PUBLIC FINANCE. I'M READING WITH BIDEN OVER HERE, AND IT SAYS. TAKE PLACE IN THE PLANTS FUND TO BE USED TO HIRE MORE POLICE OFFICERS, PAPER OFFICERS OVER TIME BY EQUIPMENT AND FOR AN ADDITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS. THE COMPACT A SPIKE IN OUR VIOLENCE RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST READING WHAT HE WROTE. I THINK IT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE REPLACING LOSS, PUBLIC SECTOR REVENUE THERE WITH AND THAT'S POSSIBLY WHERE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THEIR HIRING FROM UNTIL THE REVENUE RETURNS. SO THEY COULD BE HIRING IN THE INTERIM, AND THEN ONCE REVENUE REVENUE LEVELS CAME UP, THEY COULD CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WOULD BE SUGGESTING WITH THAT. MARK. HOW MUCH DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY GET FROM THIS? I AM NOT SURE I KNOW THAT THERE WAS TALK OF I'M NOT THE COUNTY, DECLINING THE FUNDS OR BUT I DO NOT THINK THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVED ANY OF THE RP FUNDS. CAN CHECK WITH JASON BURTON NEEDED TO TALK TO HIM ANYWAY. BUT I CAN TRY TO FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU TO AS WELL.AND. THE BILL THAT THEY'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, AND I KNOW THIS IS COMPLETE SPECULATION. YOU MAY NOT BE THE BEST WHEN ANGELUS PARTY MAYBE, BUT THE IDEA OF AN UPCOMING INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. IF THAT WERE TO BE. IF THAT WERE TO BE PASSED. WHAT IS THE EXPECTATION ON HOW THOSE FUNDS COULD BE SPENT ON WHAT THEY COULD BE SPENT ON? IN TERMS OF. THE IMPACT OF US. I'M NOT REALLY SURE RIGHT NOW, EITHER. ANYBODY HERE CAN TELL YOU IT'S NOT.
WE'RE NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY IT'S GOING TO BE IN EXACTLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO, USUALLY, INFRASTRUCTURE MONIES ARE ADMINISTERED FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE STATES.
STATE TEXTILE, FOR EXAMPLE. UM. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GONNA HAVE DIRECT DISTRIBUTION TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES. I'VE NOT HEARD THAT AND I WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT. I'VE HEARD THAT TEXT DOT HAS BEEN DELAYING SOME OF THEIR PROJECTS. WAITING, SPECULATING THAT THEY MAY GET FEDERAL DOLLARS TO HELP. DELAYING CLEANING UP 75. YEAH. I MEAN, I'LL GIVE SOME FEEDBACK ON THE LINE ITEMS. I THINK MY FAVORITE ONE ON THERE IS THE BROADBAND. AND CITY PARKS IN DOWNTOWN SQUARE. THANK YOU. IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN. PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME OR KIDS HAVING TO SCHOOL FROM HOME ACCESS TO THAT. THINK IS VALUABLE AND ESPECIALLY CAN PROVIDE THAT IN OUR PARKS. I THINK THAT EXCELLENT USE OF THOSE FUNDS. UM I WOULD ALSO SAY. IN THE EAST MCKINNEY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT WHERE THE CITY HAS DISCOVERED THAT. THERE IS INADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND IN EAST MCKINNEY IS WHICH WE ATTEMPT TO REDEVELOP THERE. I THINK THAT OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THAT WELL AND. I THINK THERE IS A BROADER CONVERSATION WE HAD CDBG IN HERE THE OTHER A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, UPDATING THEIR PLANS, AND I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT UM. HOW WE CAN COMMIT TO SOME OF THOSE PLANS. UM BECAUSE. ULTIMATELY OUR PLANS IN EAST MCKINNEY BRING A LOT OF VALUE. BUT THEY ALSO BRING SOME RISK THAT WE'VE GOT TO OFFSET AND MITIGATE FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE THAT IS MM.
THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FIND SOME ROOM FOR. I BELIEVE IN AND SOME OF OUR DIFFERENT BUDGETS, WHETHER GENERAL BUDGET OR WHETHER IT'S C D. C. WE NEED TO LOOK TO FIND SOME ROOM FOR AND.
SUPPLEMENT AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO FIND THAT SAME MM. HARDSHIP. WITH SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT IT'S THE INADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE DOESN'T JUST LIKE BETWEEN. WAY FIVE AND THROCKMORTON WHERE WE'RE LOOKING DAD. OUR PROPERTIES THAT IN LIVES THROUGHOUT EAST MECHANIC, AND SO YEAH. THINK EXPANDING THAT INTO. SOME OTHER AREAS THAT WE CAN FIND THAT WE WANT TO ASSIST. HOME OWNERSHIP AND FIND SOME WAYS TO ADD VALUE IN EAST MCKINNEY WOULD BE COULDN'T WAIT TO SPEND ONE TIME DOLLARS. WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT.
[00:25:01]
I THINK THE HOME OWNERSHIP IS A HUGE FACTOR FOR SOME OF US ON HERE. DEGREES ONE TIME DOLLARS.THE BROADBAND. SAW THE STATE ALREADY PASSED THE BROADBAND BILL. AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S A PIGGY BANK OR PIGGYBACK. UP OF THAT ONE TIME DOLLARS TO GET IT TO OUR PARKS FIRST, BECAUSE WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE? THE STATE THAT GET THAT BROADBAND THAT DESPERATELY NEEDED TO FAMILIES THAT CAN'T AFFORD IT.
RIGHT. WE HAVE TO GIVE YOU DIRECTION. NO, I WAS. THIS HELPS US PUT TOGETHER YOU KNOW YOUR BUDGET GOING FORWARD, PROBABLY AS WE ADOPT THE FISCAL YEAR 22 BUDGET WILL BE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 21 BUDGET AT THE END OF THE YEAR. I'LL HAVE SOME OF THIS BACK FOR YOU AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, POSSIBLY OR EVEN EARLIER. IF I WAS GONNA SAY IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COUNCIL HOW YOU WANT US TO PROCEED ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL. THIS IS NOT NORMALLY PART OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS, TOO. $23 MILLION OF MONEY THAT ENDS UP FINE. WE FIND IN OUR LAPS, BUT, UM. OUR THOUGHT WAS THAT WE WOULD REALLY BRING THIS FORWARD AS SORT OF A MODULE IN THE BUDGET DISCUSSION, THE BUDGET DELIBERATION, WE WOULD FOLD IT INTO THE BUDGET PREP PRESENTATION, AND, UM, THE COUNCIL CERTAINLY CAN WEIGH IN AND GIVE US SUGGESTIONS AND YOUR THOUGHTS. PRIOR TO PREPARING AND DELIVERING THE BUDGET. AND THEN, OF COURSE, PRIOR TO YOU ADOPTING A BUDGET YOU'VE GOT THAT TIME TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT. WHAT'S THE PRIORITIZATION OF THESE $23 MILLION? OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD. PURPOSES TODAY WAS JUST INTRODUCING THE FACT THAT WE HAVE 23 MILLION. TALK ABOUT SOME. SIX, BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION IN DEPTH AS WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGET, RIGHT? AND AS WE SAID, SHORTCOMINGS THAT WE HAVE. SO PUTTING MINUTES. NO FIBER EXPANSION JET IS THAT AN ONGOING COST AS WELL? WHAT DID I DO THAT. FOR THE DRONE. OKAY? YES. SO WHEN YOU PUT A MILLION DOLLARS OF FIBER IS THAT AN ONGOING COST BESIDES, THAT, IS THAT NO, THIS WAS JUST TO EXPAND THE RING INTO THE INTO OUR PARKS AND INTO THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE THAT THAT WOULD BE A ONE TIME COST TO DO THAT, AND THEN. NO PROVIDING THE WILDFIRE. WE WERE JUST PIGGYBACK OFF OF OUR NORMAL SERVICE. SO THE MILLION IS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT WOULD COVER THE COST OF ALL OF OUR PARKS. BELIEVE FOR MOST I CAN. I WILL TALK TO SIT IN HUDSON. HE WAS ONE THAT CAME WITH THE PLAN AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS ALL THE PARKS. AND IF IT'S NOT, I'LL GET YOU THE PRICE FOR ALL THE PARKS. IS FRANK. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NEEDS TO BE ALL OF OUR PARTS OF ITS MORE OF THE MAJOR PARTS JUST BECAUSE AS WE EXPAND AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I MEAN, WELL, I CAN SUPPORT I'LL GET A LIST OF WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND WHAT THIS WOULD PROVIDE TWO AND THEN WE CAN. THAT WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR DELIBERATIONS GOING FORWARD, SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. CAN IT BE HELD FOR FUTURE PARKS? UP AND WHAT SPIN THERE'S A DEADLINE. THERE'S THE DEADLINE FOR THE EXPENSE AND THEN. BUT NOT YEAH, IT COULD BE HELD FOR FUTURE FIBER EXPANSION, BUT THEN NOT TO BUILD THE PARK. SO. GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DIFFERENTIATING WHAT THESE ARE BEING EXPENDED ON, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE ONCE AGAINST WATER WASTEWATER. STORM WATER AND BROADBAND. YEAH. WITH THAT. I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NOTES, AND WE'LL BRING THIS BACK TO YOU AS WE GO THROUGH THE SUMMER. KEEP. SO LIAISON UPDATES REGARDING BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. HAVE
[COUNCIL LIAISON UPDATES REGARDING BOARDS & COMMISSIONS]
NONE. I DON'T HAVE BLED. THERE. WENT. TO TWO DIRECT STOLE ONE OF MINE, UM WE TRADED ON ONE OF THEM SO. CAN GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT ONE. THE COMMUNITY GRANTS MET AND AWARDED TO THEIR AWARDS AND NOSE. FASCINATING. TO WATCH THEM DELIBERATE ON THAT. AND THEN, UM. GOT TO WATCH. YOU GOT TO GO TO A BUILDING AND STANDARDS AND I THINK AGAIN IN THE OVERALL CONVERSATION. ABOUT EAST MCKENNEY. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FACE A LOT OF. NONCONFORMING LOTS. IN EAST MCKINNEY AND FIGURE OUT WAYS TO DO THAT, AND I THINK THAT THERE'S A BROADER DISCUSSION.[00:30:01]
WE WERE DEALING WITH A NONCONFORMING LIVE IN THAT MEETING, SO IT'S TWO LIAISON MEDIUMS THAT I WANT. WHAT THE ENTITY SAYING IT WAS. THAT'S RIGHT. GREAT JOB THERE. MHM.[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
