I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HERE AND SOAK IN THE CONCERNS OF THE CITIZENS AND THE STAKEHOLDERS. OF THIS COMMUNITY. I'D LIKE TO CONSIDER THE AGENDA ITEM 21-0. 
          THAT SPEAKS TO THE MEAT AND CONFIRM AGREEMENT PROCESS. THAT WHAT I'M SHARING RIGHT NOW. IS REALLY NOT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT AGENDA ITEM. BUT MORE SO, THE PROCESS, UM, JUST GOING FORWARD. SO THE PRESENTATION IS SMALL ENOUGH TO USE SOMEWHAT AS A CASE STUDY FOR A BROADER OPPORTUNITY. INTO AGAIN. MY COMMENTS ARE JUST TOO. IT'S JUST EASY BECAUSE IT'S A SMALL PRESENTATION. SO AS I WALKED THROUGH THE AGENDA ITEM, THREE OPPORTUNITIES CAME TO MIND THAT I HOPE WILL BE OF HELP IN AN AGENDA ITEMS GOING FORWARD. AS A GENERAL CONSIDERATION FOR AN EVEN MORE INFORMED COMMUNITY. PLEASE CONSIDER THESE THREE OPPORTUNITIES. FIRST YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY. SO JUST LOOKING AT THIS PRESENTATION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO MEET AND COMPARE? SO THEN. SO WHAT? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? SO FROM AN EDUCATIONAL STANDPOINT, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE. NUMBER TWO. WHAT REALLY IS THE BUDGETARY IMPACT? ALTHOUGH THERE ARE PERCENTAGES IN THE PRESENTATION. I NEVER SAW A DOLLAR SIGN IN THE PRESENTATION TO EQUATE THE PERCENTAGES WITH THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS. SO WHAT IMPACT WILL THESE PERCENTAGES CHANGE? AND WHAT WILL THEY HAVE IMPACT WILL THEY HAVE ON THE OVERALL BUDGET? UM IS IT ENOUGH, YOU KNOW, ARE THE PERCENTAGE DID THE PERCENTAGES NEED TO BE HIGHER? HOW WILL IT IMPACT THE OVERALL PUBLIC SAFETY BUDGET AND CAN THE CITY'S BUDGET MAY BE HYPERLINKED DISCIPLINE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING WAYS THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN. TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE PERCENTAGES AND THEN LOOK, LINK THEM TO THE OVERALL BUDGET AND THEN COULD HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BE LINKED THAT MIGHT SHED MORE LIGHT FOR PERSONS LIKE ME. WHO MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH BUDGETS BUT MAY WANT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION TO BE INFORMED. AND THEN FINALLY, THE THIRD THING WOULD BE HISTORIC BACKDROP. WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE PROCESS? AGENDA ITEM CITES THIS AS THE THIRD MEETING CONFIRMED AGREEMENT. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO NOW THAT WE'RE THREE WHAT HAPPENED? PREVIOUSLY KIND OF JUST A GENERAL HISTORY. SO THANK YOU AGAIN. FOR ALL OF YOU. GENERALLY FOR PROVIDING, UM OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE AND TO GET FEEDBACK. SPECIFICALLY TO COUNCILMAN BELLER AND THANK YOU FOR THE EXTENSIVE TIME THAT YOU

          THANK YOU. CHRIS KENNEDY. HELLO MOSTLY ALL KNOW ME, MY NAME'S CHRIS KENNEDY, PRESIDENT OF THE MCKINNEY POLICE ASSOCIATION, ALSO REFERENCING THE MEAT KEFIR ITEM. I WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE THE TIME HONESTLY TO COME UP HERE AND THANK MR GRIMES AND MR SHELTON. AND OBVIOUSLY THE CHIEF CARLY. FOR THE PROCESS GOING FORWARD. IT WAS A VERY PROFESSIONAL, RESPECTFUL PROCESS TO INFORM YOU GUYS IT WAS VERY SMOOTH AND WENT WELL. AND NOT ONLY JUST WANT TO CONVEY THAT WE APPRECIATE NOT ONLY THAT THE CITY MANAGEMENT OF MCKINNEY IS OBVIOUSLY STRIVING TO MAKE US A COMPETITIVE. POLICE DEPARTMENT. OBVIOUSLY AN AGGRESSIVE GROWING AREA, BUT THIS COUNCIL AS WELL AND WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT SUCH WHEN I SAY THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, CHRIS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM CONSENT AGENDA. THESE ITEMS CONSIST OF NON 
          [CONSENT AGENDA]
CONTROVERSIAL NON AGENDA. EXCUSE ME, NOT NON CONTROVERSIAL HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS REQUIRED BY LAW AND MAY BE CONSIDERED INDIVIDUALLY BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBER MAKING SUCH REQUEST PRIOR TO EMOTION AND VOTE ON THE CONSENT ITEMS. I KNOW THAT THERE IS ONE ITEM I BELIEVE AT LEAST THAT WE'RE GOING TO PULL DOWN. THAT NUMBER IS. JUST REMEMBER THAT NUMBER 21 OH 677. 1677. IT WAS JUST DISCUSSED ANY IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEM? COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO PULL DOWN AND FOR THOSE I SHOULD HAVE SAID THIS IN THE BEGINNING WE HAVE. 
          COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS IS ON THE PHONE WITH US. HE IS. AT A CONFERENCE, BUT HE HAS JOINED US TONIGHT VIA PHONE AND HE WILL HE'S PARTICIPATING AS IF HE WERE HERE IN PERSON. THINK WITH. THERE IS NO OTHER EMOTION THAT WE APPROVE ALL THE OTHER ITEMS OTHER THAN THE ONE THAT WAS PULLED DOWN. OUR SECOND POLICE CASH FOR VOTES. UH HUH. YEAH. ALRIGHT 21 0677 CONSIDER 
          [Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Ratifying the Third Meet and Confer Agreement with the McKinney Police Association]
AND ACT ON A RESOLUTION RATIFYING THE THIRD MEETING CONFER AGREEMENT WITH THE MCKINNEY POLICE ASSOCIATION. HI MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL BARRY SHELTER. THIS ISN'T CITY MANAGER. EXCUSE ME. SO THIS IS A. BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THE MEAT FOR AGREEMENT. TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL HAS, BUT I CAN ALSO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION BASED ON THE CITIZEN COMMENT RECEIVED TONIGHT. SO AS WE GO THROUGH BEFORE I GET STARTED IN THE PRESENTATION ITSELF. THE MEAT CONFER AGREEMENT IS A PROCESS THAT IS PRESCRIBED THROUGH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE THAT ALLOWS, UH. IN LIEU OF CIVIL SERVICE ELECTIONS IT ALLOWS FOR CITIES AND ASSOCIATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY. DEPARTMENTS TO NEGOTIATE TERMS HAVE AN AGREEMENT THAT TYPICALLY DIP DICTATE. UM. BENEFITS PROCEDURES, POLICIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE STAFF REPORT HAS A SECTION ON THE SECOND PAGE THAT DOES TALK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL. ACTIONS REGARDING INCOME FOR AGREEMENT. SO THE FIRST ONE ENTERED INTO WITH BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE. THE POLICE ASSOCIATION WAS IN 2000 AND EIGHT UM. AND THEN IT WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER AGREEMENT IN 2012. AND THEN AN AGREEMENT. I'M SORRY. ME READ MY OWN STAFF REPORT HERE, UH, 2000 AND EIGHT RECOGNIZE THE PURPOSE OF MEAN CONFER DISCUSSIONS, THE FIRST ADOPTED RESOLUTION WITH A MEETING FOR AGREEMENT WAS IN 2012. FOLLOWED BY 2015 AND THEN 2000 AND 17. THIS. AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO LOOK AT SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THAT WE HAVE MEAN CONFER TEAMS THAT HAVE MET. THE CITY'S TEAM THAT MET WITH THE POLICE ASSOCIATION CONSISTED OF THE CITY MANAGER PAUL GRAHAM'S MYSELF. POLICE CHIEF GREG CONLEY, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY TERRY WELCH, AND THEN THE HR DIRECTOR LIKE OBI AND THE CFO, MARK HALLOWEEN. WE HAD THREE DELIBERATIONS. THESE ARE POSTED AS OPEN MEETINGS AND. 
          THESE ARE OPEN NEGOTIATIONS TO LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONTRACT IN ANY CHANGES BEING PROPOSED BY EITHER PARTY AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I'M GOING TO STEP THROUGH THE KEY CHANGES OF THIS AGREEMENT. AS PROPOSED, SO. CURRENTLY OUR SALARY TABLES ARE BASED ON THE AVERAGE MINIMUM MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SALARIES OF 10 COMPARISON CITIES. CURRENTLY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THAT MINIMUM. AND THE AVERAGE OF THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SALARIES AND THEN WE ADD 1.5% TO THAT SO THAT WE MOVE OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THE 50TH PERCENTILE IN THE MARKET. THE PROPOSED HAS KIND OF RAMP RAMPING UP. TIME FRAME TO MOVE FROM 1.5% ABOVE 
          [00:10:08]
THAT 50TH PERCENTILE UP TO 2.25% OVER THE LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT. THIS IS AN EFFORT TO MAKE US COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET SO THAT WE CAN HIRE THE BEST. APPLICANTS AND, UH BUILD THE BEST DEPARTMENT THAT WE CAN HERE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. COUPLE OTHER KEY CHANGES THE DURATION OF THE AGREEMENT. THE PREVIOUS AGREEMENT HAS A DURATION OF FOUR YEARS. THIS CURRENT PROPOSED AGREEMENT HAS A DURATION OF FOUR YEARS, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR AN EXTENSION OF TWO YEARS OF NEITHER PARTY SEES BENEFIT TO RENEGOTIATING. THAT WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. 
          30TH 2027. ANOTHER CHANGE THAT WE'VE ADDED TO THIS, UH, PROPOSED AGREEMENT IS TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE CLOTHING AND CELLPHONE ALLOWANCE PORTION OF THE AGREEMENT. TO ADD A CELLPHONE ALLOWANCE OF $50 PER MONTH. THIS IS SOMETHING WE OFFERED TO A LOT OF OUR EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE THEM TO USE THEIR PERSONAL CELL PHONES IN THE. 
          CONDUCTING OF CITY BUSINESS ARE POLICE OFFICERS. DO YOU HAVE THE EQUIPMENT IN THE VEHICLES, BUT THEY'RE USING THEIR PERSONAL CELL PHONES QUITE A LOT IN ORDER TO CONDUCT BUSINESS, AND AS SUCH, WE HAD OFFERED A CELLPHONE ALLOWANCE TO THEM. UH HUH. ANOTHER KEY CHANGE IS A SICKLY PAYOUT. THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT WILL REMOVE WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE AGREEMENT TODAY, UM. JUST BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. SO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT. 2017 AGREEMENT. THERE'S A SET SCHEDULE FOR PAY OUT OF ACCRUED SICK LEAVE. WHEN SOMEONE. 
          RETIRED FROM THE CITY OF MCKINNEY POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT REQUIRES A LINK TO THE RETIREMENT THROUGH THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM. AND IF THEY DO RETIRE THEY CAN RECEIVE UP TO A CAP AMOUNT OF THEIR SICK LEAVE PAID OUT UPON. LEAVING THE CITY. WE CAN NEGOTIATING THIS WITH THE ASSOCIATION. WE LOOKED AT SOME SCENARIOS WHERE SOMEONE MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE RETIRING FROM THE CITY, BUT THEY HAVE PUT IN WHAT I'D CALL IT. GOOD SHIFT THAT THEY'VE WORKED A NUMBER OF YEARS FOR THE CITY. SOMETIMES 20 SOMETIMES 30, PLUS YEARS WITH THE CITY AND MAYBE LEAVING FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, MAYBE A CHIEF LEVEL POSITION IN ANOTHER CITY. UNDER CURRENT POLICY, THEY WOULD ONLY RECEIVED 50% OF THE PROPOSED PAYOUT. THIS REMOVES THAT LINK, SO IF THEY MOVE FOR THOSE. OTHER REASONS FROM THE CITY MCKINNEY BUT LEAVE IN GOOD STANDING AS DETERMINED BY THE CHIEF OF POLICE, THEY COULD RECEIVE THEIR FULL PAYOUT UP TO THE CAPS. UH, IN THE AGREEMENT. THE LAST KEY CHANGES AND NOTICE TO THE ASSOCIATION WHEN AMENDING GENERAL ORDERS SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS A NUMBER OF GENERAL ORDERS. THERE ARE A FEW THAT THE ASSOCIATION FELT WERE VERY, UM, IMPORTANT TO THEM IN TERMS OF PROMOTIONAL PROCEDURES. YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL COMPLAINTS AND INVESTIGATION AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES. THIS IS A SIMPLE PROVISION THAT SAYS IF THE CHIEF OF POLICE PROPOSES TO CHANGE THOSE SECTIONS, HE WILL GIVE NOTICE TO THE ASSOCIATION AND THEN WE'LL MEET AND DISCUSS THOSE PROPOSED CHANGES WITH THEM. ULTIMATELY THE DECISION STILL IN THE POLICE CHIEF'S HANDS, WHETHER OR NOT TO AMEND THOSE, BUT THIS REQUIRES THAT BACK AND FORTH OR THAT DISCUSSION OF THOSE PROPOSED CHANGES BEFORE THEY'RE MADE. 
          SOMETHING IN PRACTICE IS ALREADY ONGOING. IN THE DEPARTMENT, THE POLICE CHIEF ALWAYS CONFERS WITH THE ASSOCIATION IN SUCH CASES, BUT THIS IS JUST TO PUT IT INTO THE AGREEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT HAPPENS. MOVING FORWARD. WITH THAT. THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE I HAVE IS, STAFFS RESPECTFULLY RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA ITEM IS THE RESOLUTION. 
          AND THE MEETING COME FOR AGREEMENT IN WHOLE. SO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN READING THROUGH THAT THEY IT'S ATTACHED TO THE STAFF ITEM. SO QUESTIONS. WELL, I WAS JUST GOING TO MENTION I'M UH AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT IN THE WORK SESSION, BUT I WANTED TO MENTION SINCE I WAS THE ONE WHO REQUESTED TO BRING TO BE BROUGHT OFF THE CONSENT. AGENDA THE REASON I WANTED TO IS NOT NECESSARILY ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ITEM, BUT IT'S MORE TO HIGHLIGHT THE PROCESS AND EDUCATE A LITTLE BIT AND AS BETH WAS SAYING, YOU KNOW, KIND OF JUST INVOLVE EVERYBODY IN THAT PROCESS. UM YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE WANT GOOD OUTCOMES. AND UM YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO AS A AS A CITY IS PROVIDE A SERVICE. AND TO DO THAT IT REQUIRES THE BEST PEOPLE SO, UH, FRED CAN PROBABLY ATTEST TO THIS. BUT THESE AGREEMENTS, UM, AT THEIR CORE ALLOWS US TO DO THAT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE COMPETITIVE PAY AND BENEFITS. AND ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE BEST PEOPLE. AND IN TURN, PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE. 
          SO AS AN ORGANIZATION, I THINK YOU KNOW, I THINK THE PROCESS HAS BEEN GOOD. I THINK THAT THE OUTCOME IS GOOD, BUT I THINK WE CAN USE THIS PROCESS AS A MODEL TO ENSURE. THAT WE'RE ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE BEST EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE BOARD. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT 
          [00:15:01]
AGAIN A LITTLE BIT OF WORK SESSION. HOW TO DO THAT FOR EVERYONE, BUT I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING IT DOWN AND HIGHLIGHT THAT PROCESS AND SHOW HOW WE'RE WORKING AS AN EMPLOYER TO BE THE EMPLOYER OF CHOICE AND TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE THAT WE CAN AS AN ORGANIZATION. SO THANK YOU VERY. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. YEAH. UM. LET'S MAKE A QUICK COMMENT OF THANK YOU GUYS. WE, UM. THE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS TRULY THE BEST POLICE DEPARTMENT THEY'VE BEEN DOING, UM MORE WITH WITH LESS PERSONNEL FOR LONG TIME THEY. 
          WE ARE RANKED THE SAFEST CITY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AS A RESULT OF THE WORK THEY DO. AND UM, ELATED TO SEE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ON A MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE. PAY INCREASED SCALE SHOULDN'T BE AVERAGE. WE'RE NOT AVERAGE WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. THEY NEED TO BE EVERYTHING NEEDS TO REFLECT THAT, AND THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT WE ARE HEADED AND VERY RIGHTFULLY SO. AND I COULDN'T BE PROUDER TO BE A MAYOR IN A CITY WITH. POLICE DEPARTMENT FIRE DEPARTMENT AS WELL FOR THAT MATTER THAT IS AS ESTEEMED AS YOU GUYS ARE. SO THANK YOU. AND JUST IN MY RUSH TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, I DID FAIL TO THANK THE ASSOCIATION LEADERSHIP. AS. AS THEY THANKED US, BUT WE HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE AND RESPECTFUL AND PROFESSIONAL NEGOTIATION PERIOD AND IT REALLY THANK THEM FOR THE EFFORT. THEY PUT INTO THAT AND FOR BEING CONSIDERATE OF THE SUGGESTIONS OF MANAGEMENT. I'LL SAY SOMETHING I SHOULD AMERICAN HAVE BROUGHT SOMETHING UP THAT SODA, JUSTIN THAT ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS WAS BARRY. YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB. I KNOW EVERYBODY'S SITTING AT THAT TABLE DID A GREAT JOB OF KEEPING IT IN HOUSE, KEEPING IT PROFESSIONAL. AND GETTING A GOOD CONTRACT. UH, OFFICERS DO DESERVE A GOOD PAY. UH AND THEY DO DESERVE A COMPETITIVE PAY, LIKE STAYING COMPETITIVE IN OUR MARKET WITH 2700 POLICE AGENCIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IS NOT EASY. HAVING THE BEST OFFICERS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS AND RECRUITING OR ATTENTION AND RETIREMENT IS THE THREE FACTORS THAT WE ALWAYS LOOK FOR IN BUILDING ANYTHING AND TO PUT THAT TOGETHER A CONTRACT. THAT IS THIS LONG AND I REALLY WANT TO SEE US. GET TO THE END OF THIS ONE. UH BECAUSE THAT'S ONE THING THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO A LOT OF CITIES. THEY GIVE YOU A HIGH BAR, AND THEN WHEN YOU GET TO THE THIRD YEAR OR SO. IT'S TOUGH TO REACH WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THERE AND I THINK THAT WITH THE STAFF AND THIS THIS COUNCIL AND THE ASSOCIATION STANDING WITH US, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE AND IT'S A GREAT CONTRACT. IT'S A GREAT ANOTHER START. YOU GUYS DOING THE RIGHT THING? YOU'VE GOT A GREAT CHIEF. YOU GOT YOU GOT YOU GOT A GREAT POSITION OF BEING RIGHT NOW AND LOOK AT LOOK AT THE LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT ARE CITY PROVIDES ON A POLICE DEPARTMENTS ON THE SCALE. THOSE OFFICERS DIDN'T TAKE OFF WORK. WHEN WENT TO COVID. THEY WORKED EVERY SINGLE DAY. THEY WORKED THROUGH IT. THINK OF THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE THAT PROGRESS THROUGH THE YEAR WE GOT TACOS AND COPS COMING UP. IT'S GOING TO BE SOLD OUT. IT'S GOING TO BE A RECORD BREAKING EVENT. ALL THOSE EVENTS. YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER COMMUNITIES. I KNOW PEOPLE BRAG ABOUT THEM, AND THEY SAY THEY'RE GREAT AND EVERYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE THEM LIKE THAT. IN OTHER PLACES. I WORKED AT FOUR DIFFERENT CITIES THIS MORNING AT MY JOB. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THOSE FORD AGENCIES ARE NOTHING LIKE MCKINNEY'S. THEY DON'T PAY LIKE MCKINNEY. THOSE OFFICERS DON'T ACT LIKE MCKINNEY OFFICERS AND THEIR OFFICERS ALSO DON'T ACT THE WAY THEY DO TO THE COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THESE CONTRACTS. YOU DO A GREAT JOB. 
          YOU GET REWARDED. YOU COULD DO A GREAT JOB WITH YOU. GET THE PEOPLE HERE. YOU TRY TO KEEP HIM HERE. AND I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DEALS OR WE'RE DOING OUR PART. REWARD YOU GUYS TO KEEP YOU HERE AND THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO SEE OUR FUTURE. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A MOTION. 
          MAKE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION CLOTHES OR HOW TO MAKE A MOTION TOOK TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, I'LL SECOND. CASTRO VOTES AT THE LONG, LONGEST MOTION. YEAH. COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS VIRGIN FAVOR. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THERE'S A UNANIMOUS. SENT ALL THE POSITIVE THINGS THAT WERE SAID ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT. REGULAR AGENDA AND PUBLIC HEARING. THIS PORTION OF THE AGENDA CONSISTS OF ITEMS REQUIRING INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL. 
          [Consider/Discuss/Act on Fiscal Year 2021-22 Proposed Tax Rate, Take Record Vote and Set Public Hearing and Adoption Date]
FIRST ITEM IS 210680 CONSIDER AN ACT ON FISCAL YEAR 2021 22 PROPOSED TAX RATE. TAX RECORD VOTE AND SET PUBLIC HEARING IN ADOPTION DATE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARK HOLLOWAY, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY. UH TONIGHT WE WILL HAVE A TAX RATE 
          [00:20:01]
RECORD VOTE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS VOTE IS TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SETTING OUR TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 22. TONIGHT LIKE I SAID, A RECORD VOTE ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. WE WILL SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING WITH THAT VOTE AND ANNOUNCED THE ADOPTION DATE OF THE TAX RATE. 
          THE VOTE WILL BE REQUIRED WITH SPECIFIC WORDING OF EMOTION, WHICH IS IN FRONT OF YOU AND IT WILL. THIS INITIALLY SETS THE CEILING, WHICH IS THE TOP TAX RATE THAT WE CAN SET. UM. FOR FISCAL YEAR 22 THIS YEAR THAT PROPOSED TAX RATE CEILING IS 220.5025. AND, AS YOU KNOW, OUR CURRENT TAX RATE IS POINT, FATHER 8645. SO EVEN WITH THE CEILING, WE WOULD BE. REDUCING OUR TAX RATE THAT BEING SAID THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED TAX RATE IN THE BUDGET WILL BE LESS THAN THE TAX RATE CEILING THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. BUT WE DID WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPTION OF SETTING WHAT A TAX RATE WITHIN THE 3.5% THAT IS ALLOWED BY LAW. SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SET THE RATE AT 502500. SO A LITTLE BIT TO TALK ABOUT TAX RATES A LITTLE BIT THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE THAT I MENTIONED IS A TAX RATE THAT SAYS, CALCULATE RATE THAT WOULD PROVIDE A TAXING UNIT OR US. WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE IT RECEIVED IN THE SAME YEAR. PROPERTIES TEXT IN BOTH YEARS, WHICH MEANS THAT ANY NEW GROWTH THEN IS ADDED IN AFTER THE FACT. SO IF PROPERTY VALUES GO UP THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE WILL GO DOWN AND VICE VERSA WHICH YOU SEE HERE. IN A GROWING COMMUNITY. YOU WILL NOT SEE GENERALLY THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE GOING UP BECAUSE OUR VALUES ARISING HERE, SO THAT'S IT'S A GOOD THING TO SEE. THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, WHICH USED TO BE THE ROLLBACK RAID AND WAS 8% IS NOW 3.5% ABOVE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE. IF UH IF YOU GO ABOVE THAT, 3.5% WHICH IS JUST ABOVE THE FOLLOW 25. AN ELECTION WOULD BE REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY AND AUTOMATICALLY INSTEAD OF IN THE PAST, WHEN YOU WENT ABOVE THE 8% LEVEL, UH, THE CITIZENS COULD THEN. UH DO A PETITION TO HAVE AN ELECTION FOR THE 8. SO UH, THIS THE 3.5% TRIGGER IS NOT WOULD NOT BE IN PLAY WITH THE TAX RATE CEILING THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT. I WANTED TO SHOW THE TAX RATES THE TAX RATE CEILING AT 5086 WITH THE CURRENT TAX RATES, PROBABLY 645 WITH OUR TAX RATE CEILING BEING FOLLOWED 2500. UM THE OTHER ONE. I WOULD REALLY POINT OUT WAS OUR DEBT RATE. I'M VERY PROUD THAT WE HIT THE DEBT RATE THIS YEAR AND MAINTAIN THAT EQUILIBRIUM BECAUSE WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW CAPITAL PROJECTS COMING UP. AND AS PART OF THE BOND PACKAGE. WE SAID THAT WE WOULD MAINTAIN THAT DEBT RATE OVER TIME, AND WE'RE DOING THAT. IT'S GOING DOWN ABOUT 1/10 OF OPINION, BUT THAT THAT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE HIT THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE VALUES IN AT THE TIME WHEN WE SOLD THAT THIS YEAR, SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING IN THAT 15 CENT RANGE IS VERY IMPORTANT. I WANT TO SHOW OUR TAXABLE VALUE. HISTORY WILL BE TALKING A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS OR A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS WHEN WE HAVE THE BUDGET WORKSHOP ON AUGUST, THE 13TH. BUT THIS IS OUR TAXABLE VALUES FOR FISCAL YEAR 22 WILL BE 26.63 BILLION. 
          UH JUST FOR A LITTLE CONTEXT WHEN I BEGAN MY JOB HERE. IN FISCAL YEAR 14. OUR FIRST VALUES WERE 11.87 BILLION, SO WE'VE. MORE THAN DOUBLED IN MY TENURE HERE, SO I WANT TO AND TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT I JUST JUST JUST SOMETHING NOTABLE. UM OUR TAX RATE THAT YOU WILL BE ADOPTING HAS TWO PARTS. THE FIRST PART IS THE I'M SOR DEBT SERVICE RATE. UM NOT MUCH THERE WERE REQUIRED TO SET SET THAT AMOUNT TO MEET THE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS FOR A GIVEN YEAR, SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO WHEN WE SELL BONDS. THAT'S OUR DEBT SERVICE AND WE TAX RATE TO MEET THAT THE MM NO, WHICH PAYS FOR SALARIES AND SUPPLIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THAT'S WHERE THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE REALLY HITS AND KICKS IN. IT IS SUBJECT TO THE NO NEW RIG REVENUE AND VOTER APPROVAL CALCULATIONS. THIS IS OUR TAX RATE HISTORY. SINCE 2013. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE WERE CLOSE TO 60. CENTS, 59 CENTS. AND SINCE THAT TIME THE RATE HAS DROPPED OVER EIGHT CENTS, SO. NOT QUITE A BIT. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THAT THAT ALL THAT WENT INTO GUN DOWN COINCIDED ON ME COMING ON COUNCIL. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU. AND WITH THAT, UH, WE DO HAVE THE PORTED NIGHTS AHEAD. AUGUST 13TH IS OUR BUDGET WORK SESSION, WE WILL HAVE BEEN PUBLIC INPUT ON THE BUDGET. AUGUST 17TH THAT MEETING. AND I WILL. THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE. WE INITIALLY WE'RE GOING TO ADOPT THE BUDGET AND PASSED THE TAX RATE ON SEPTEMBER, THE SEVENTH ON SEPTEMBER. THE 21ST. WE HAD TO MOVE THAT UP THIS YEAR. BECAUSE OF SOME SOME REQUIREMENTS FROM THE COUNTY TO GET AT OUR TAX BILLS, SO WE NEEDED TO HAVE OUR BUDGET ADOPTED BEFORE SEPTEMBER. THE 15TH AND SO IN LIEU OF HAVING 
          [00:25:05]
ANOTHER MEETING THE WEEK AFTER SEPTEMBER, THE SEVENTH SPECIAL MEETING. WE WERE ABLE TO FIT IN THE CALENDAR WHERE WE CAN ADOPT THE BUDGET ON SEPTEMBER THE SEVENTH, SO WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN DATES SINCE WE BEGIN THE BUDGET PROCESS. WITH THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AND, UH. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO READ THE MOTION, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. JUST REITERATE SOMETHING SECURITY, SAID MARK BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE SAID IT, AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN WRITING, WE GENERALLY HEAR IT IN DOZENS OF EMAILS. AFTER EVERY FIRST MEETING, THEY TALK ABOUT THE TAX RATE. THEY BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE SAID IT. WE'RE NOT SETTING THAT WE'RE SETTING THE CEILING AND. AND WE'VE NEVER SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL OF COURSE EVER. AT A TAX RATE. THAT WAS THIS FIRST MEETING SEALING IT IS JUST PURELY A PROCEDURAL. IT'S PROCEDURAL TO SET TO SET THE MEETING TO SET A CEILING TO HAVE A TO SAY WE'RE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN TO TELL THE PUBLIC WHAT DATE WE WILL BE ADOPTING THE TAX RATE, SO IT DOES. FILL THOSE THREE THINGS, BUT IT DOES NOT SET THE TAX RATE OUR CEILINGS. LOWER THAN. WHAT WE'RE PAYING RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? CORRECT. RIGHT? THE OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. JOB. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A IT'S A ACTION ITEM SO AND IT DOES REQUIRE A RECORD VOTE. SO I WILL, UH, SECRETARY OR NATIONAL TAKE THE RECORD VOTE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. ALL IN ONE, I GUESS. I GUESS I COULD HAVE TO. ACTUALLY THE MOST SERVICE OR I MOVE THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY PROPOSED TO ADOPT A PHYSICAL YEAR 2022 TOTAL TAX RATE OF. 0.50 TO 500, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE PHYSICAL YEAR. 2022 NO NEW TAX. NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE OF. 0.485. AND CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. THE PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 7TH 2021 AT SIX P.M. OTHER A RECORD VOTE ON THE TAX RATE. ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 7TH 2021 AT SIX P.M. ALL MEETINGS WILL BE HELD IN MCKINNEY CITY HALL. COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 22 TO 2 TO NORTH TENNESSEE STREET. 
          MCKINNEY, TEXAS 7569. SECOND. THANK YOU. RIGHT? YES. IT'S A VERBAL VOTE. OH, YES. YES. 
          RIGHT? YES. OR THEREFORE FOUR. THANK YOU. MARKET. NEXT ITEM. 210681 CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING 
          [Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Approving the 2021-2022 CDBG Annual Action Plan]
TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2021 2022 CDBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. 
          SHOULD THEY TO HOW ARE YOU? OUR MAYOR, OUR CITY MANAGER OR COUNCIL IN THE PUBLIC. MY NAME IS SHIRLEY TO BEST AND COMMUNITY SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. I'M HERE TO COME BEFORE YOU TO PREVENT THE 2021. 2022 FT BBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. 
          THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, WHICH IS KNOWN AS CDBG IS AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE HAVE INVESTMENT FOR OUR RESIDENTS, PREDOMINANTLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME, OUR PROGRAMS ARE CITYWIDE, AND WE'VE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY SINCE 2003. EACH YEAR, ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE AN ALLOCATION THAT IS PROVIDED TO THE CITY BASED ON OUR POPULATION FROM THE U. S DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, WE DO MAKE APPLICATION SO THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE RESIDENTS PARTICIPATE AND ALSO PUBLIC, UH, SERVICES TO BE ABLE TO MAKE APPLICATION IN THIS PROCESS. BEGAN IN FEBRUARY. ANNOUNCING WHAT OUR NEW FUNDING WOULD BE, AND FROM FEBRUARY THROUGH JUNE 15TH. WE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE APPLICATION TO HEAR PUBLIC COMMENTS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH WERE COMING BEFORE YOU TODAY. IN THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. WE HAVE NEW FUNDING THAT WILL BE ALLOCATED ESTIMATED. EXCUSE ME THAT WILL BE ALLOCATED IN THE AMOUNT OF 893,006. THAT WE ANTICIPATE WE WILL RECEIVE BEGINNING OCTOBER. THE FIRST WE ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR PROGRAM YEAR. SO WE DO ESTIMATE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE FUNDS THAT ARE 
          [00:30:03]
ALREADY ALLOCATED. FOR COVID FUNDS, WHICH ARE KNOWN AS CDBG CV. WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THOSE IN THE NEW YEAR THAT STARTS ON OCTOBER ONE FOR RENT UTILITY AND MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE. ANY CATEGORY OR CARRY OVER FUNDS THAT WE HAVE. WE DID HEAR RESIDENTS WHERE WE PROPOSED THREE NEW PROGRAMS. WE HAD OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON JUNE 15TH. WHERE WE MADE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THAT, AND THEN WE'RE COMING BEFORE YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE WILL CONTINUE THOSE PROGRAMS AS WELL. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE WILL TAKE ANY COMMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO HUD THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN WHERE THEY WILL MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATION AND APPROVAL. THE PROGRAM WILL START OCTOBER, THE FIRST THROUGH SEPTEMBER, THE 30TH OF NEXT YEAR, AND AT THIS TIME I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FOR SHOULD THEY DO SO? ON THE. ANNUAL ACTION PLAN ATTACHMENT. THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE. UM. THE ITEMS THAT YOU'VE ALLOCATED HERE AND THEN IT ENDS WITH THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM AND THE. CITY OF MANY CINDY OF MAKENI GRANT ADMINISTRATION ADD UP TO THE 800. 93,000 AND ALLOCATION AND THEN THE REMAINDER REMAINING. 
          CDBG COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBOURHOOD INVESTMENT AND CDBG CV FUNDING IS WHAT'S LEFT OVER. FOR THE FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO CLARIFY CDBG AND CDBG FYVIE ARE TWO SEPARATE FUNDS, AND SO WE WENT THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS. IN THIS CURRENT YEAR. UM STARTING THAT ENDED IN NOVEMBER. WE ESTIMATE THAT ANY CARRY OVER FUNDS, WHICH IS THE ONE MILLION THAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE. WE ESTIMATE THAT THOSE FUNDS WHICH ARE SEPARATE REQUIREMENT WILL BE USED FOR THAT. CURRENTLY WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE HAVE THE 529,000. THOSE ARE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE FROM PREVIOUS PROGRAM YEARS. AND SO WE ESTIMATE THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE USED. FOR THE THREE PROPOSED PROGRAMS. 893,000 THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO THAT DOES INCLUDE THE PUBLIC SERVICES, WHICH ONLY WE CAN USE UP TO 15% OF THAT GRANT. 20% FOR GRANT ADMINISTRATION AND THEN THE REMAINING FOR HOUSING REHABILITATION. HOW TYPICAL IS IT FOR CITIES TO PAY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OUT OF THE GRANT. IT VARIES. WE DO HAVE SOME CITIES THAT HAVE GRANT ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE GENERAL FUND. WE DO HAVE SOME THAT ARE. IT'S A HYBRID WHERE IT'S A COMBINATION. SO IT IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE PROGRAM DESIGN. AND SO WE'VE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE THE PHILLY B G GRANT TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE IT IN THIS WAY SINCE WE STARTED. OKAY. I MEAN IN AND. IN MY OPINION, YOU KNOW BETWEEN THE $893,000 THAT'S BUDGETED FROM HOW THE 529,000 THAT'S LEFT OVER FROM PRIOR YEARS. AND THE 1.1. IN CARES FUNDING. UM YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT QUITE A FEW DOLLARS HERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. UM. AS FIND WAYS TO UTILIZE. AND I THINK THE AMENDED PROGRAMS THAT YOU'VE GOT HER A GOOD WAY TO DO THAT, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT AS A CITY UM, YOU KNOW, TAKING AWAY FROM THOSE FUNDS AND THOSE PROGRAMS TO ADMINISTER THOSE GRANTS, I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD WE COULD CONTRIBUTE IN A WAY THAT WOULD WHO WOULD MAKE THOSE DOLLARS GO FURTHER, SO THAT YOUR WE'RE PAYING FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE GROUND WE'RE PAYING FOR THE THREE EMPLOYEES THAT ADMINISTER.

RIGHT TO 1068 TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH CIGNA HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FOR EMPLOYEE MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND DENTAL BENEFITS. CARRIE GOOD. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL STAFF. MY NAME IS MIKE WILL BE ON THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND RISK MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS, UM. CONTRACT WITH, UH, SIGNAL. TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. ONLY, UM UH, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. ONLY UM, TYPE OF SERVICES FOR THE FOR THE MEDICAL, DENTAL AND ALL OFFERED PHARMACY PLANS.

THINK I WENT TOO FAR. ALL RIGHT. SO, BASICALLY, IT'S MEDICAL FROM ACCIDENTAL AND THESE ARE THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES ONLY CONTRACT. AS I SAID EARLIER, IT WAS THROUGH AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT CONTRACT ENDED AND NOW WE WERE BRINGING IT BACK BEFORE COUNCIL SIMPLY BECAUSE WE WENT THROUGH A COMPETITIVE BEAT PROCESS. THE SERVICES THAT SIGNAL WILL BE PROVIDING US IS FOR ALL OFF OUR SELF FUNDED WHAT THAT SIMPLY MEANS IS THAT THESE SERVICES OUR INSURANCE, WE SIMPLY WE PAY. WE? WE DON'T PAY ANY INSURANCE COMPANY CARRIERS PREMIUMS WE SIMPLY ABSORBED THE CLAIMS COST AND THEN WE RETURNED THEM TO MANAGER, NETWORK MANAGER OR THE CONTRACTS THAT ARE UNDERLYING AND KIND OF GUARDING. THE SERVICES. AND, OF COURSE, ANOTHER ITEM WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA THAT WILL BE COMING UP. A LITTLE LETTER IS OUR LIFE INSURANCE AND A D N D A D AND D BY THE WAY, IT MEANS ACCIDENTAL DEATH. DISMEMBERMENT AND THEN UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, OUR LONG TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE. OUR EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS NOT REALLY PART OF THIS PROCESS. BECAUSE OF THE PACKAGE. THAT SIGNAL HAS GIVEN US WE ENDED UP FOLDING IT INTO IT, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF WHAT WE ARE BRINGING BEFORE COUNCIL. IN TERMS OF THE TREND WE HAVE SEEN WITH THAT PLANTS. UH BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHANGES AND THE WAY WE USE DATA. DRIVE DECISIONS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MANAGE THIS PROGRAM AGGRESSIVELY AND THEN AS A RESULT OF THAT, WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UH OVER A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS. WHAT THE NATIONAL TREND HAS BEEN IN TERMS OF COST OF MEDICAL CLAIMS. WE ARE ACTUALLY TRAINED THE MARCH LOWER THAN WHAT YOU SEE IN THE NATIONAL. FRIEND. WHAT DOES SIMPLY MEANS IN TERMS OF THE TREND IS REALLY ODD. 
          INFLATIONARY UH, ADJUSTMENTS THAT GO INTO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR DOCTORS, HOSPITALS. ANCILLARY SERVICES FOR, YOU KNOW, ORTHOPEDIC AND ARE THAT WHEN YOU BUILD ALL OF THAT THE NORM IS 7.5% WERE TRENDING BELOW 1. AND THEN FROM A C TYPICALLY AS PART OF THE MEDICAL, BUT WE'VE BEEN CUTTING OUT CUTTING IT OUT BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN THE TREND AT LEAST IN THE LAST 15 YEARS BECAUSE PHARMACY HAS OVER OVER TIME THEY COME 25 TO 30. IF YOUR OVERALL COST SO WE LOOK AT WE LOOK AT THAT, EVEN THOUGH OUR COST IS ON POWER WITH WHAT YOU TYPICALLY WILL SEE IN THE MARKET. WE ARE JUST IT HAD LOWER. THAT NATIONAL TREND AND THEN, OF COURSE, IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES COVERED. WE HAVE, UH, 1000. I WANT TO SAY 100 BECAUSE THAT NUMBER FLUCTUATES AND THEN IN TERMS OF LIVES COVERED, WHICH WOULD BE EMPLOYEES INDEPENDENCE YOU'RE LOOKING AT OVER. 2600 THIS WOULD BE SPOUSES. CHILDREN YOU KNOW, FAMILY COVERAGE. CAN I INTERRUPT YOU? YOU HAVE 20 SLIDES HERE. WE KIND OF WE KIND OF UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS. I'M NOT SURE IT'S REALLY NECESSARY TO GO OVER ALL THE. THE STAFF. 
          ALL WE'RE DOING IS JUST SAYING, EITHER. YES OR NO TO THIS, UM. ITEM ITEM. SO YEAH, I WILL. I 
          [00:40:06]
WILL JUST RUN THROUGH IT VERY QUICKLY. THANK YOU. SO SO BASICALLY, THERE ARE TWO VENDORS THAT SUBMITTED PROPOSALS. ONE IS SIGNAL CURRENT. AND THEN BELLA. YOU LOOK AT WHAT THESE TWO COMPANIES HAVE BROUGHT THE TABLE. BASICALLY WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS. THEY ARE KEY THINGS WE LOOK AT WE LOOK AT NETWORK WE LOOK AT FINANCIAL. 
          YOU WENT OVER ALL THIS BUT EARLIER BEFORE, OKAY, SO WE'RE AWARE OF THIS, AND SO WE'RE WE'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE. OKAY SO BASICALLY, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE GO WITH SIGNAL. SIGNAL IS THE CURRENT HE IS. IT IS THE INCUMBENT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT CERTAIN THINGS WE'VE LOOKED AT. THIS CONTRACT OVERALL IS SAVING US A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, ADMINISTRATIVE COST RIGHT IN TERMS OF SAVINGS. YOU'VE LOOKED AT THE PACKAGE OVERALL. CLAIMS IS IMPORTANT TO POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE WE ARE SELF FUNDED. LOOK AT IT TO VENDORS WE ARE COMING WITH WELL UNDER $600,000 IN TERMS OF CLAIM SAVED. OKAY NETWORK, THEN DENTAL DORO COST TYPICALLY TASTE AROUND HALF A MILLION. BASICALLY WE ARE SELF FUNDED AGAIN. IN THIS CASE, WE ARE RECOMMENDING SIGNAL. YEAH. AND THEN I'M JUST GONNA. ROAD THROUGH THIS AND BE QUIET IF YOU WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING. THAT'S THE END OF THE PRESENTATION OF MEDICAL THEN OUR LIFE. EIGHT COMPANIES SUBMITTED SUBMITTED PROPOSALS. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE CURRENT CARRIER, WHICH IS LINCOLN. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COST WITH LIFE INSURANCE, SO WE ARE INTERESTED IN IS REALLY PAYING THE CLAIMS. SO, BASICALLY, YOU LOOK AT COST. FOR THE COMPANIES THAT SUBMITTED. WE JUST LOOKED AT THE TOP FIVE. LINCOLN IS COMING IN LOW IN TERMS OF OUR RATE INCREASE. 15% IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO WITH THAT, UM WE ARE SIMPLY RECOMMENDING IN TERMS OF RECOMMENDATION THAT WE RENEW WITH THE SIGNAL. AND THEN OF COURSE WE KNEW WITH LINCOLN. 
          THEN I WILL STOP AT THIS POINT THAT TAKES SOME QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MIKE. AND OF COURSE WHAT? YOU JUST COVERED YOU COVERED. UH, THIS, UH THIS ITEM AND THE NEXT ITEM AS WELL. DOES ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS ITEM, WHICH IS THE. SIGNAL ENGAGING CIGNA. QUESTION BUT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS WORKED WITH ANOTHER CITY ENTITY TO ENSURE EMPLOYEES. I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS AND THE THOUGHT PROCESS. I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS. AND MAYBE IT MAY NOT COME, UH, TO EVERYONE IN GENERAL, BUT. YOU KNOW, THE CITY IS ABSORBING ALL OF THE COSTS FOR HEALTH CARE. WE'RE USING CIGNA TO KIND OF HELP TO NEGOTIATE SOME PRICING AND BUILD A NETWORK. BUT IT'S ALL COMING OUT OF YOUR POCKET. THESE ARE TAXPAYER DOLLARS GOING TO HELP TO PAY FOR THE HEALTH CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES. AND WE NEED TO HAVE HEALTHY EMPLOYEES. SO IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT IT SEEMS LIKE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AT LEAST, THE CLAIMS HAVE REALLY STAYED PRETTY CONSISTENT THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN DRASTIC INCREASES. 
          AND COSTS OF HEALTH CARE FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, AND THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN MOST PLACES, SO IT TAKES A LOT OF PLANNING AND RESPONSIBLE. UM LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION LOOKING AT THE DATA TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THAT. THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR US IS TO MAKE SURE OUR EMPLOYEES STAY HEALTHY. NOT ONLY JUST FOR THEIR BENEFIT, BUT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BUDGET, AND THERE'S ONLY A FEW CASES THAT YOU CAN HAVE A YEAR THAT CAN REALLY SINK YOUR BUDGET, SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THE RIGHT COMPANIES TO WORK WITH US THAT WE NEGOTIATE PRICING THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR OUR. OUR EMPLOYEES. CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT LIKE ABOUT STOP LOSS, SO INDIVIDUAL? STOP GLASS, AGGREGATE STOP BLOCKS AND HOW THAT AFFECTS THE BUDGET AS WELL. YEAH WE USE BY THE WAY. STOCK LOSSES REALLY? THE. THOUGHT THOUGHT. MARKET INSURANCE THAT YOU BUY YOU OVERLAY. OVER YOUR CLAIMS. UH OUR IS WHICH IS THE INDIVIDUAL STOP LOSS. IS $200,000. WHAT THAT SIMPLY MEANS IS THAT. IF AN EMPLOYEE DEPENDENT CHILD OR SPOUSE IN CARL'S CLAIMS. AND THAT CLAIMS IS IN EXCESS OF 200,000 DID ANYTHING IN EXCESS OF THAT? WE SHIFT THAT COST. THE INSURANCE CARRIER. SO IN THIS CASE, WE USE IT AS A WAY TO ME TO GET OUR TOTAL OUR RISK AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. AND I THINK YOUR SECOND QUESTION TOUCHES ON AGGREGATE. AGGREGATE ESSENTIALLY LOOKS AT THE TORO CLAIMS COSTS. IF YOU LOOK AT 
          [00:45:01]
THIS YEAR WE ARE PROJECTING THAT WILL END WITH ABOUT $15 MILLION. YOU KNOW, SHOT OF 16. 
          NEXT YEAR. WE ARE PROJECTING 16 16 PLUS WITH SIGNAL. WHAT THAT SIMPLY MEANS IS THAT WE BUY. AN INSURANCE PRODUCT THAT SIMPLY LOOKS AT THAT TOTAL CLAIMS. ANYTHING IN EXCESS OF IN THAT CASE ATTACHMENT IS 100 AND 25. ANYTHING IN EXCESS OF 20 125% OF THE TOTAL CLAIMS. WE MOVE THAT COST OUT OF FIRE WIRE BOOK OF BUSINESS. THAT SIMPLY MEANS THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT TOUCH THAT. WHEN DEAR GOD AWESOME CONSULTANTS WHEN WE'RE SETTING OUR RATE. SO WE USE THAT WE HAVE USED IT. PUT IT LAY EACH YEAR. WE CANNOT BRIEF HOW EXECUTIVE STAFF AND GET THEIR BLESSING TO MAKE SOME TWEAKS THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE TO THAT PROGRAM. AND TO YOUR POINT AS A RESULT OF THAT IN 2018. WE ONLY HAD 1% RATE INCREASE EMPLOYEES AND THEN IN 2019. IN FACT, THE HIGHEST WE'VE HAD, AT LEAST IN THE FIVE YEARS NOW GOING THAT I HAVE BEEN HERE IS 2.5. THIS CURRENT IS 0. AND WE ALSO DO FROM A SILICONE. TRIED NEGOTIATIONS. YEP. RIGHT? YEAH. 
          THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO MITIGATE THOSE COSTS. IT'S VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU. ANYWAY. 
          RIGHT THERE. EMOTION ON THIS ITEM. I MOVE THAT WE IS IT PUBLIC HEARING THIS ONE? NO, NO. OKAY SO I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE OR THERE'S NO BLOOD CLICK THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM.

YOU, MARK. THANK YOU. MARK 210005 S U P TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A SPECIFIC. USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR AN OUTDOOR AMUSEMENT FACILITY AND FLOUR MILL LOCATED 51 EAST LOUISIANA STREET AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. JENNIFER THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. JENNIFER ARNOLD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AS YOU READ. THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST. FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE FLOUR MILL, JUST EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE. I WILL LOOK LIKE TO BE HERE. SO THE FLOUR MILL PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY OPERATING AS AN INDOOR EVENT VENUE. IT ALSO HAS SOME OFFICE SPACE IS I'M IN STUDIOS ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDINGS. THERE ARE THREE DISTINCT BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY. THE ZONING IS MTC, WHICH REQUIRES CONSIDERATION OF AN SPECIFIC USE PERMIT OR AN S. U P TO ALLOW FOR SOME OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES TO OCCUR ON THIS SITE, AND THAT IS WHAT'S BRINGING THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. SO THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO INSTALL AN OUTDOOR SORT OF COVERED PAVILION IF YOU 
          [00:50:03]
WILL, IN BETWEEN TWO OF THEIR BUILDINGS TO ALLOW FOR WEDDING EVENTS TO OCCUR OUTSIDE. AND A COVERED SETTING, UM AND A PLATFORM. THIS IS AWESOME PHOTOS OF THE SITE. I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE FROM THIS VIEW CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THE. LIGHTS ARE STRUNG BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS. THAT'S THE GENERAL AREA ON THE SITE WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO THE OUTDOOR, UM, RAISED PLATFORM AND COVER. THE STAFF HAS A VALUE EVALUATED THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST. THERE'S A LAYOUT OF THAT, AND WE DO FEEL THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SITE IN THE AREA, THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED BY THIS S U P ARE RELATIVELY SMALL IN COMPARISON TO THE OVERALL SITE AND ACTIVITIES ON THE PROPERTY. THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CITY'S QUIET ZONE, WHICH MEANS IT IS SUBJECT TO THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND THE EXTRA RESTRICTIONS THAT COME WITH BEING IN A QUIET ZONE WHILE IT IS WITHIN 500 FT OF RESIDENTIAL USES. IT IS SEPARATED BY SEVERAL COMMERCIAL SITES AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY DIRECT ADJACENCY TO RESIDENTIAL USES. UM, GIVEN THE SIZE, SCALE AND PROXIMITY OF THIS USE TO RESIDENTIAL WE ARE COMFORTABLE THAT THE SCP IS APPROPRIATE. WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ALSO HEARD THE CASE AND IS ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER. NO. APPLICANT LIKE TO COME UP. JENNIFER CONVEYED WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO. 
          UM. YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? OTHERWISE, MAYBE WE WILL ASK YOU A QUESTION. I DON'T THINK I CAN ADD TO WHAT JEFFREY JUST SAID. SHE DID A WONDERFUL JOB. SO IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS AND QUESTIONS TO ANSWER. JAMES, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT EARLIER ON THE CONSENT DECREE, WE APPROVED FUNDING FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ALONG EAST LOUISIANA STREET THAT RUNS RIGHT BY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SO. WOULD LOOK INTO THE TIMING OF THAT AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE HERE. YOU'RE LOOKING OUT FOR US. THEN YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE PLANNING ON HAVING SOME SOME WEDDINGS. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A WEDDING VENUE AND THEN ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT'S AVAILABLE AS WELL. SO WHEN CITY HALL IS THERE AND TOPS AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE CONGREGATING THERE. OPEN TO USE THE SAME THE LOCATION AS WELL. 
          I JUST HOW DO OUR EVENT NEXT TO A BUNCH OF DUSTY ROAD CONSTRUCTION? UM JUST MAY WANT TO WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMING OF THAT. THANK YOU. JUST WANT TO COMMENT THAT THE PHOTOS THAT WERE SHOWN WERE VERY UNFLATTERING. THE FLOUR MILL IS ACTUALLY FANTASTIC LOOKING BUILDING, SO I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHY THAT WAS UTILIZED IN THAT PRESENTATION, IS IT? NO WAY REPRESENTS YOUR PROPERTY. UM. THANK YOU, JAMES. AND UNLESS ANYONE ELSE HAS A QUESTION. IF NOT, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE SIDE OF MY SHOW? NOBODY ON. MY SCREEN. UH, THEREFORE ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

          THANK YOU, MR MAYOR COUNCIL, AND WE DISCUSSED THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT AT COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS. I HOPE TO WALK THROUGH AND ANSWER SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE DURING THIS PRESENTATION, BELIEVE THE APPLICANTS HERE AS WELL. IN CASE YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS FOR THEM, BUT. AS YOU READ. THIS IS A REQUEST TO REASON ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT 800 SOUTH CHESTNUT STREET. IT'S ABOUT 1.27 ACRES IN SIZE, AND AS YOU'LL SEE HERE, THE EXISTING ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS RS 60, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. I WILL NOTE THAT IN ADDITION TO THE RS 60 ZONING THAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY, THERE IS AN APPROVED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT OR AN S U P TO OPERATE A BED AND BREATH RED AND BLACK BREAD. BED AND BREAKFAST. ON THE PROPERTY. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. 
          OWNERSHIP CHANGED ON THE SITE, AND THE NEW OWNER NOW DESIRES TO OPERATE A WEDDING AND EVENT VENUE FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE IS ON THE PROPERTY. STAFF HAS EVALUATED THE REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT AND THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD BE FOR A PD OR PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT THAT WOULD GENERALLY TIE DOWN THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FOR THE CONTINUED USE OF THE PROPERTY 
          [00:55:01]
OR NEW USE OF THE PROPERTY FOR WEDDING AND EVENT VENUE. THE PD ORDINANCE DOES HAVE A CONCEPT PLAN THAT WOULD BE TIED DOWN SUCH THAT ANY EVENT VENUE THAT WOULD OCCUR ON THIS SITE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THAT CONCEPT PLAN, MEANING THAT NO ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES OR DEVELOPMENT COULD OCCUR ON THE SITE FOR VENUE. AND WITHOUT BEING A REZONE. ANY OUTDOOR EVENTS OR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WOULD HAVE TO TAKE PLACE ON THE DESIGNATED AREA SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN. I'M GONNA SKIP PAST THESE PICTURES. AN EXHIBIT HERE. SO DESIGNATED ON THE OUTDOOR, UM, EVENT SPACE NOTED ON THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EVENT SPACES WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE PARKED AT A MINIMUM RATIO PARKING RATIO OF 1 TO 200. SQUARE FEET. SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE ON THIS CONCEPT PLAN IS A PROPOSAL FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE EXISTING GRAVEL LOT TO A PAVED PARKING LOT WITH APPROXIMATELY 54 SPACES. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S SORT OF A MEMORIAL IZATION. THE EXISTING STRUCTURES ON THE SITE FOR THE USE OF A WEDDING AND EVENT VENUE AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER TONIGHT OR THIS AFTERNOON. UH, THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS BEEN OPERATING OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CODE COMPLIANCE FOR NOTICED VIOLATIONS AND HAS BEEN OFFERED OR HAS BEEN ASKED TO STOP OPERATING UNTIL THEY CAN GAIN COMPLIANCE. SO REZONING REQUEST AND CONSIDERATION OF IT IS THE FIRST IN MANY STEPS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE TO PURSUE IN ORDER TO GAIN FULL COMPLIANCE. AND IF THE COUNCIL FEELS THAT THE REZONING REQUEST IS APPROPRIATE THERE, NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO SUBMIT A SITE PLAN TO OPERATE THE SITE AS A COMMERCIAL USE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BRING BUILDINGS UP TO CODE THE SITE UP TO CODE. AND THAT INCLUDES BUILDING CODES, SITE PLANNING CODES AND FIRE CODES AS WELL. SO, UM, STAFF DID PRESENT THIS REQUEST TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN JULY, AND THEY HAVE OFFERED A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION IN A VOTE OF 6 TO 0 STAFF IS ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. QUESTIONS. SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION THIS WAS OWNED. IT WAS A BED AND BREAKFAST. SMALL VENUE. SMALL WEDDING VENUES RIGHT OR EVENTS FOR NOW, ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE THEY'RE REQUESTING TO HAVE ACCESS TO ENOUGH TO HOST 300. PEOPLE FOR EVENTS. THAT'S CORRECT. NOW I WILL TELL YOU. WHAT'S ON THEIR WEBSITE IS NOT PURSUANT TO WHATEVER CITY CODES MIGHT BE APPLICABLE SO WELL. THEY MAY BE PROMOTING THAT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT GETTING BUILDING PLANS AND DOING FORMAL REVIEW IS AN. CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US TO SAY THAT IT COULD. HOLD THAT MANY, HOWEVER, ARE BUILDING INSPECTIONS TEAM DOES SAY THAT EVENT SPACES SUCH AS THIS WOULD TYPICALLY HAVE A 1 TO 7 RATIO FOR CAPACITY, SO IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT UNPOPPED. IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT TO OCCUR. WE JUST CAN'T SAY FOR SURE. I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE. AFRICAN YEP, THE APPLICANT OWNER OPERATOR. VIGO ALL RICK AND I AM ACTUALLY JUST THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY. OKAY, WELL, SO, WITH THOSE NUMBERS BEING SAID, WHAT IS WHAT IS YOUR ACTUAL NUMBERS THAT YOU WOULD BE HOSTING HERE? DON'T THINK FROM MY UNDERSTANDING. THERE'S NEVER BEEN EVEN 100 PEOPLE ON THE PROPERTY AT ONE TIME AT THIS POINT, UH, THE EXPECTATION IS THAT IT WOULD NOT EXCEED THEN. MAYBE OCCUPANCY. LEVELS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF BEYOND THAT, BUT DON'T SEE THOSE KIND OF NUMBERS THERE AT ALL. SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE, WOULDN'T WHEN YOU TAKE THE WHOLE THING. YOU COULD GET 300 PEOPLE THERE. BUT YOU ONLY HAVE. YOU HAVE THREE SPACES OR TWO SPACES, REALLY VITOR OPERATIONAL AND THOSE TWO SPACES OUR VIEWS AT THE SAME TIME BY THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE. SO. GET IT, BUT I'VE BEEN TO AN EVENT THERE WHERE THERE WAS MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE. SO ONE WAS MY SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW'S WEDDING IN 2000 AND 12, SO I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT A KID. HOLD MORE THAN THAT. THAT'S THAT, AND I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT YOUR WEBSITE SAYS 300 PEOPLE FOR THAT SMALL SPACE AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT IS KIND OF THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT IN 2012, IT WAS. IT WAS OPERATING THAT WAY, AND WE'RE JUST TRYING NOW TO GET IT LEGAL TO OPERATE THE WAY THAT IT HAS OPERATED FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS, AND I GUESS THAT'S PROBABLY SO EVEN BACK THEN IT WAS OPERATING ILLEGALLY. THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT'S AMAZING. SO THEN THE PROPERTY WAS ACQUIRED. THE PURCHASER DID NOT CLARIFY THE ZONING. AND THEN ALSO OPERATED. ILLEGALLY UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING. YES. OKAY AND THAT'S THAT'S THE ISSUE FOR ME. I THINK FOR ME, I TAKE A 
          [01:00:05]
BIG ISSUE WITH THAT. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE WE HAVE A HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT. NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED. AND WHAT MESSAGE DO WE SEND WHEN SOMEONE COMES IN AND PURCHASES A PROPERTY? AND THEN DECIDES LATER THEY'RE GONNA DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO AND HOPE FOR A REZONING. I DON'T LIKE THAT METHOD THAT TO GO ABOUT THAT METHOD FOR REZONING. UM, IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO DO THEIR RESEARCH TO FIND OUT WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS IS ALLOWED THERE. SO EVEN IF IT WAS DONE PRIOR TO THAT, THAT'S REALLY TO ME. IRRELEVANT UM, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE AHEAD OF TIME AND DONE IN A WAY THAT'S SAFE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT UP TO CODE TO HOLD THAT MANY PEOPLE. SO NOW WE'RE COMING IN AFTER THE FACT TO CORRECT THAT AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE DONE HERE. WE DID ACTUALLY START THE PROCESS OF RESIGNING AS SOON AS WE RECEIVED THE PROPERTY. GOING THROUGH COVID IN 2020 AND. 
          FINDING OUT THAT WE WERE ASKING FOR SOME THINGS THAT. THAT REALLY WOULD NOT FIT THAT PROPERTY. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF CHALLENGES GOING THROUGH TO GET TO THIS POINT. WHAT ENGAGEMENT HAS HAS GONE OUT FOR THE RESIDENTS OF HOW WE ENGAGE THE RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY TO FIGURE OUT. HOW THESE EVENTS HAVE IMPACTED THEM IN TERMS OF THE TRAFFIC CARS PARKED, UH, NEAR THEIR PROPERTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. DO THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING? HAVE YOU GUYS MADE EFFORTS TO REACH OUT TO THEM? WE HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE AROUND THERE, UH, OUR UNDERSTANDING WAS IS THAT WE ARE USING THE PROPERTY MUCH THE SAME AS IT HAS BEEN. AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS REGISTERED, YOU KNOW AS TO WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM HERE, AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. AND SO WE DID NOT REACH OUT TEENY. WE HAD NOBODY. AS FAR AS I KNOW THAT HAS EVER EXPRESSED ANY. UH NEGATIVE ACTIONS AS FAR AS THE PD DEVELOPMENT OR ANYTHING, AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          WE DID. WE DID NOT REACH OUT TO ANY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY. BUT AS FAR AS WE KNEW, THERE WAS NOBODY THAT WAS OPPOSED TO ANYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 10 OR 15 YEARS. BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT SPEAK OUT RIGHT? SO IT'S NICE AS IF YOU GUYS AS THE OWNERS CAN GO OUT AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE STARTING THIS. YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE NEW ONE OWNERS. THIS IS OUR PLAN. HOW HAS THIS AFFECTED YOU IN THE PAST? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE? DIFFERENT MY CONCERN IS IF YOU HAVE HOW MANY PARKING SPACES ARE CURRENTLY FOUR OF 54. SO IF YOU DO HAVE 300 IF YOU'RE APPROPRIATELY ZONED FOR 300, WHERE THE OTHER CAR IS GOING. IS THERE A CONTINGENCY PLAN TO HAVE PARKING ELSEWHERE IN SHUTTLING INTO THE PROPERTY? HAVE YOU GUYS CONSIDERED ANY OF THAT. 
          NO, NO. NO CONTINGENCY PLANS AS FAR AS PARKING IS CONCERNED. THE FEELING IS THAT THAT. THE PARKING AREA THAT WE WILL BE DEVELOPING WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE EVERYTHING THAT WOULD COME INTO THAT AREA. HAVE SIX PER CAR. YOU EITHER HAVE NO PROBLEM, JURY. IT'S A WEDDING I WANT TO GET. I THINK IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, AND I LIKE IT AS A WEDDING VENUE. I THINK THAT'S GREAT. I THINK JUST FOR ME. I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A PROPERTY PURCHASE, AND FOLKS DIDN'T DO THEIR RESEARCH BEFORE THEY GOT THERE. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST ABOUT IT, AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE WHAT THE NEIGHBORS THINK ABOUT IT. 
          BECAUSE IF WE ARE INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE EVENTS THAN THE NOISE LEVEL IS GOING TO GO UP AND THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO GO UP IN THAT AREA, AND THAT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD SO YOU HAVE PROPERTIES AROUND THERE AND WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT. ON THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THAT IS MY CONCERN. I'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION LIKE FOUR TIMES A DAY. BUT WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE? WHAT WHAT? WHAT? WHAT ELSE? WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? IT'S EITHER APPROVE IT OR NOT. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW. JENNIFER CAN I THINK SPEAKS TO THIS FEDERAL? CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION, JENNIFER. THIS IS, OF COURSE, BEING A PD. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEP. THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER PROCESSES THAT WOULD HAVE TO TAKE PLACE, INCLUDING SITE PLAN APPROVAL. 
          WHAT, NOT GIVE US COUNSEL JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT STEPS THAT WE WOULD. HAVE A SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S IN OTHER WORDS, IF THAT CAME WITH THE SITE PLAN THEY WANTED, YOU KNOW 300 PEOPLE OR THEY WERE ABLE TO GET 300 AT THAT POINT ON THE SITE PLANNER. 
          WE. WE HAVE THAT ABILITY TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? NO, IT'S NOT. WE DON'T BELIEVE IT'S CONDUCIVE TO HOLD 300 PEOPLE. SURE SO WITH THE STATED PROCESS THAT WE HAVE NOW SITE PLANS OR A STAFF APPROVAL, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE LARGELY MINISTERIAL, SO WHEN WE REVIEW A SITE PLAN, WE'RE NOT MAKING DISCRETIONARY CALLS WERE SAYING. THIS PROPOSED PLAN MEETS THE 
          [01:05:04]
REQUIREMENTS OF OUR ZONING CODE, AND THIS WOULD BE THIS WOULD BE THE SAME. WHAT I WILL SAY IS WITH THE WAY THAT THE PD IS WRITTEN THE BASE ZONING ON THE PD AS SF FIVE SINGLE FAMILY. 
          AND SO SINGLE FAMILY USES OR WHAT SINGLE FAMILY USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OR WHAT WOULD APPLY TO THE PROPERTY UNLESS IT'S OPERATED AS A WEDDING AND EVENT VENUE AS PROPOSED. IF THE WEDDING AND EVENT THEN US PROPOSED AS THEY ARE, IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE LAYOUT THAT YOU'VE GOT UP HERE ON THE SCREEN, WHICH IS MEMORIALIZE NG ALL OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURES ON THE SITE, SO NO NEW STRUCTURES, NO EXPANSION. IT IS. IT'S JUST AND I KNOW I SAID THE WORD MEMORIALIZING, BUT IT'S MEMORIALIZING WHAT'S ON THE SITE RIGHT NOW. SO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS THAT YOU SEE, TIED DOWN IN THIS CONCEPT PLAN IS WHAT WOULD BE EVALUATED ON THAT SITE PLAN. SO. I WOULD SAY IF THERE ARE CONCERNS THAT THE BUILDINGS THAT PRINTS THAT ARE HERE MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE LARGER CROWDS. I THINK NOW WOULD BE A TIME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE CONCERNED. WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THOSE TWO BUILDINGS, SO I BELIEVE THE TOTAL IS ABOUT 4400 SQUARE FEET. DON'T LET ME PULL THIS UP REAL QUICK. YEAH. SO. SO TOTAL INDOOR EVENT AREAS 4200 AND 14, AND THAT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE OF. THIS BUILDING HERE AND THIS BUILDING HERE AND THEN THE OUTDOOR SPACE IS ABOUT 5000 SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS THIS AREA HERE. IN CONSIDERING THE OCCUPANCY LOAD THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED. ONCE IT'S REVIEWED. YOU WOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE CLOSE STRUCTURES. ONLY NOT NOT OUTSIDE STRUCTURES. UH. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. I KNOW FROM A BUILDING CODE AND OCCUPANCY STANDPOINT, THEY'D BE LOOKING AT THE INTERIOR. THE ANSWERS. OTHERWISE THAT'S RIGHT. MY EVENT CENTER I COULD SAY, HEY, I'M ON HALF AN ACRE. THAT'S RIGHT. SO OUR CERTIFICATES OF DOCUMENTS SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE BASED ON THE INSIDE THE WALL SQUARE FOOTAGE. WE? WE CHANGED. 
          WE HAVE CHANGED THE NON CONFORMING. USE ORDINANCE, HAVEN'T WE? WOULD THAT FALL? WE DON'T WE HAVE WE HAVE OVER THE YEARS. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S SPECIFIC TO THIS SORT OF EXAMPLE. I MEAN, HE'S BEEN OPERATING THERE. THEY'VE BEEN OPERATING THERE FOR 10 YEARS. 
          LONGER THAN THAT. I'M TOLD. YEAH, LIKE 30. MR MAYOR MAY NOT BE RECOGNIZED. YES, SIR. WHEN YOU UM I HAVEN'T CONCERN ABOUT PARKING. IF WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE OCCUPANCY LIMITS OR. GOING TO BE FOR THE INTERIOR PROPERTY OR THE NEXT YEAR AND PROPERTY THEN THAT RAISES CONCERNS FOR ME ABOUT PARKING IN AN AREA THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT FREE PARKING TO THAT EXTENT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT IS. 
          INTERIOR SPACES ARE EXTERIOR AND ALSO ADDRESSED THE PARKING ISSUES. SO I'M PROBABLY GOING TO SUGGEST IT'S NOT MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLED THIS ITEM UNTIL WE CAN GET THOSE CONCERNS ADDRESSED BY THE CITY STICK. I THINK SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT UNDERSTAND. GENERALLY PARKING WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT ON THE OCCUPANCY. WE ARE IN AN AREA HISTORIC AREA THAT IF YOU EXPLAIN JENNIFER THAT. UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESSES DON'T HAVE PARKING LOTS. FOR EXAMPLE. ANYTHING ON THE SQUARE? THEY DON'T THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE THE PARKING PER CODE THAT YOU WOULD ANYWHERE ELSE. SO, UM. IT JUST SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY MHM. WE'RE NOT. THEY WOULDN'T BE SPECIFICALLY TIED THE PARKING NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS COMMENT. I AGREE WITH THAT COMMENT. BUT THAT'S WHY IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. VIRTUALLY. THAT IS CORRECT, MR MAYOR, AND I WAS JUST I'M NOT TEXTING. I PROMISE. I'M DOING A QUICK CALCULATION. UM SO THE PARKING RATIO IN THE 54 SPACES IS BASED ON BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE SPACE SO. 
          WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OCCUPANCY LOADS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. 
          THAT'S FROM A BUILDING CODE STANDPOINT. SO HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE INTERIOR SPACE ACCOMMODATE SAFELY? SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THE STRUCTURES. THE PARKING THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION THAT SHOWN IN THIS PD ZONING IS FOR BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. SO IT DOES MEET IT, THOUGH IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO, BUT IT DOES MEET IT. SO WHEN YOU LOOK WHEN YOU COMBINE THE INTERIOR, AND I WISH I COULD ZOOM IN HERE, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACE IN TOTAL IS ABOUT 9500 SQUARE FEET. THAT LITTLE TABLE SEE THAT PARKING CALCULATION TO 
          [01:10:06]
THE RIGHT 5 39 95 SCORE RIGHT BACK DOWN. VERY PERFECT. 95 39 AT A PARKING RATIO OF ONE PER 200 SQUARE FEET. THEY'RE REQUIRED. PARKING WOULD BE 49, I THINK IS WHAT THAT NUMBER IS, AND THEY'RE PROVIDING 54. YES SO THAT'S I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION. 
          I WAS I HAD NOT DONE THAT CALCULATION THAT WAS NOT CONTEMPLATING THE ONE FOR TWO. 
          UM. BUT IT ACTUALLY DOES MEET THE PARKING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN GENERAL. FOR THE ONE FOR 200 APPRECIATE THAT EXPLANATION. WE'VE HEARD IN THAT OUT FORM OF MR MARY. YEAH, TRY. THANK YOU BOTH. WHAT IF I DID THAT FOR MYSELF RIGHT NOW AS WELL? ACTUALLY. WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH PARKING ON THE SITE, SO I'D LOVE TO SAY I WAS EDUCATING YOU, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY MYSELF SO AND I HAVE A CONCERN. UH IF THEY'RE HAVING INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EVENTS THERE IS THAT PARKING GOING TO CUT INTO THEIR CAPACITY. AND IS THAT PARKING GOING TO BE YEARS FOR THEIR OUTDOOR EVENT AND. WIND UP WITH PEOPLE PARKING ON THE STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND, UH, MR PHILLIPS, I THINK IT IS A IT IS A CONCERN. 
          WHAT WE'VE NOTED IS IN IN THE YEARS THAT THEY'VE BEEN OPERATING, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL. WE HAVEN'T BEEN MADE AWARE OF ANY CONCERNS REGARDING NOISE OR ON STREET PARKING. HOWEVER IF THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT ON STREET PARKING AND THE OVERCROWDING OF THE STREETS, THE CITY CERTAINLY CAN GO IN AND PUT PUT NO PARKING SIGNS UP IN AREAS WHERE THERE MAY BE CONGESTIONS ARE CONCERNED. I DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME COMMENTS ABOUT CONCERNS WITH TRAFFIC FOR FOLKS COMING IN AND OUT. ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF BEING IN A DOWNTOWN AREA AS YOU'VE GOT A GRIDDED STREET NETWORK, WHICH REALLY HELPS TO DISPERSE HOW PEOPLE ARE LEAVING CERTAIN SITES, AND THAT DOES HELP. IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR SOME FOLKS, BUT IT DOES HELP TO MITIGATE WHERE THERE MAY BE TRAFFIC CONCERNS. SO. FOLKS HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE SITE, WHICH HELPS TO LIMIT UM SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC CONCERN FROM ADJACENT PROPERTIES. DO WHAT? YOU STATE THAT I AGREE WITH COUNSEL WOMAN FELT AS, UH, AS FAR AS OPERATING THIS FOR A YEAR AND THEN COMING BACK AND ASKING PERMISSION. CERTAINLY DON'T APPROVE OF THAT, AND I DON'T WANT TO SET SOME FORM OF PRESIDENT FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAT ENGAGED IN THE SAME BEHAVIOR COVID OR NOT. THANK YOU. SO SO, UH AND AN ANSWER FOR CHARLIE. I MEAN, DO DO YOU JUST SAY WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GI DID, OR DO YOU JUST. YOU. DO YOU LOOK AT IT AS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD APPROVE, OR YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SAY, WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY THEY ACTED. WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT WHAT HE'S GREATEST ZONING ORDINANCES? I THINK I'M. OBLIGATED TO SOME EXTENT TO APPROVE IT. AND NOT USE THE DISAPPROVAL OF ZONING AS A PUNISHMENT FOR BAD BEHAVIOR. I DON'T THINK I CAN DO THAT. THEY BELIEVE. OH, YEAH, AND OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING OUT THAT I APPRECIATE THAT I AM. 
          WITHOUT THE EXCITEMENT, AND I DO, I FELT STAY. I DID I FAIL TO AND MY INITIAL PRESENTATION KIND OF TALK ABOUT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. I KNOW I TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW IT'S CURRENTLY OPERATING IN THIS SITE, BUT. WE DO ALSO, OBVIOUSLY LOOK AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WHERE THE SITE SITS. AND GENERALLY SPEAKING, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH SOME OF THE CONCERNS AND SENTIMENTS ABOUT DO NOW AND ASK PERMISSION LATER. WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SITE, IT IS LARGELY OPERATING NOW AS A QUASI COMMERCIAL SITE, EVEN AS THE BED AND BREAKFAST WITH OR WITHOUT THE EVENTS. UM IT'S ONE BLOCK OFF OF STATE HIGHWAY FIVE AND IN AN AREA THAT'S DESIGNATED AS A MIXED AREA, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME TRANSITION BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES HERE. THE APPLICANT TALK EARLIER TONIGHT ABOUT THEY HAD ORIGINALLY REQUESTED REZONING AND HAD TO STOP. THE ORIGINAL REQUEST FOR WAS FOR A STRAIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WHICH WE DID HAVE CONCERN WITH AND WE LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING STAFF COULD SUPPORT. THE WAY IN WHICH THIS PD A STRUCTURED HELPS HELPS US TO GET THERE A LITTLE BIT MORE, KNOWING THAT IT'S KEEPING THE EXISTING BUILDINGS INTACT. IT'S LIMITING THE GROWTH OF COMMERCIAL EXPANSION AND THE SITE IN AND OF ITSELF IS IN AN AREA THAT KIND OF TRANSITIONS. YOU'VE GOT THE CHURCH TO THE NORTH. YOU'VE GOT THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES TO THE EAST SIDE THERE ALONG HIGHWAY FIVE, BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT ARE ON THE OTHER SIDES OF IT, AND SO, AND THAT IS WHY WE FELT LIKE THE PD WAS COMFORTABLE ROUTE LIMITING EXPANSION. IT'S KIND OF LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL THAT COULD OCCUR ON 
          [01:15:02]
THE SITE, BUT STILL ALLOWING FOR SOME OF THAT TRANSITION TO HAPPEN IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. SO. 
          THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED FOR, OR LOOKED AT. WE CERTAINLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, FOLKS, YOU'VE GOT CODE ISSUES HAPPENING, BUT WE TRY TO KEEP OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WITH WITH THE ZONING COMPONENT. AT THE HEART, NOT KIND OF HOW THEY GOT TO THE REQUEST, BENNETT YEAH. GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD. I JUST I LOOK AT LAST YEAR, YOU KNOW, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WERE OPERATING HERE. MUSIC. OH, IT IS A WEIRD YEAR AND I THINK EVERYBODY IS JUST TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET, SO I DON'T WANT TO BASH HIM OVER THE HEAD. TOO BAD ABOUT THAT. AGAIN I MEAN, WE TALK ABOUT DOING THINGS FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. AND. I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN FELT US THAT I DON'T LIKE THE WAY WE GOT HERE. 
          BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT. THIS IS A BUSINESS THAT ESSENTIALLY HAS BEEN HERE FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THEY BRING IN REVENUE THEY BRING IN PEOPLE. THEY HELPED THE DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TAKE CARE OF OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. AND I THINK STAFF MADE THE RIGHT RECOMMENDATION. AND I THINK. PERSONALLY, I THINK WE OUGHT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. 
          UH MISS ARNOLD. HOW DO WE GUESS? CAN WE RECONSTRUCT A TIMELINE ON HOW WE GET TO SOMEPLACE LIKE THIS? BECAUSE. JUST LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE GOT. WE'VE GOT A. TWO RESIDENTIAL LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN COMBINED INTO ONE. AT SOME POINT. WE'VE GOT A GRAVEL PARKING LOT THAT WAS CREATED AT SOME POINT. WE'VE GOT AN S U P THAT WAS GRANTED AT SOME POINT. AND WE'VE GOT AN ONGOING OPERATION THAT HAS GONE BACK AT LEAST NINE YEARS AND PROBABLY MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW BUYER WHO COMES IN. AND IF NOT FOR I THINK WHAT YOU SAID OF WATER BILLING RECOGNITION WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN THAT THE PROPERTY THEY PURCHASED. UNDER THE ASSUMPTION OF ONGOING BUSINESS WAS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY IS THERE. IS THERE ANY? HOW DO WE GET HERE? AND IS THERE ANY WAY WE DON'T HAVE MECHANISMS. TO KIND OF ENFORCED CODE IN THAT WAY, DO WE MEAN IT OUTSIDE OF A COMPLAINT? THAT'S RIGHT. IT COMES DOWN TO AN ENFORCEMENT ISSUE, AND, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY FOR THINGS LIKE USE SUCH AS THIS, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR OUR CODE TEAM, OUR CITY STAFF TO SORT OF KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL WE RECEIVE A COMPLAINT OR AN ISSUE. I WILL SAY AS IT RELATES TO THE PRIVATE LAND TRANSACTION THAT OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO TO COUNCILWOMAN FELT AT THIS POINT PART OF YOUR DUE DILIGENCE WHEN PURCHASING A NEW PROPERTY IS TO ENSURE THAT IT'S WHAT YOU NEED IT TO BE, SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THEM. AND WHAT ASSUMPTIONS THEY MADE MOVING INTO TO THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WELL OUTSIDE OF CITY STAFF, BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ENFORCEMENT ISSUES. R LARGELY BASED ON COMPLAINTS, AND IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT WHEN IT'S SOMETHING LIKE A DEAD TREE OR A NEW BUILDING HAS GONE UP OR SOMEBODY HAS. PUT SOMETHING OUT THAT THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WHEN IT'S A USE THAT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT, UM, TO KNOW HOW THE INTERIOR OF A SPACE IS BEING USED, OR EVEN EXTERIOR. FOR EXAMPLE, CHURCHES. THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CAN HAVE WEDDINGS ALL THE TIME, WHETHER OR NOT SOME OF THOSE MOVE OUTDOORS FROM TIME TO TIME UNLESS WE SEE THEM OCCUR. IT'S HARD FOR US TO KNOW THAT THAT STUFF IS HAPPENING. SO AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A COMPLAINT, A NOISE COMPLAINT PARKING COMPLAINT, NOTHING. NOT THAT IN OUR CODE TEAM IS WE CHECKED WITH OUR CODE TEAM ON THAT AS WELL PRIOR TO TONIGHT, WE'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY. NOT NOT TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR ANYBODY. BUT I WOULD SAY, IS ALSO PLAUSIBLE TO THINK THAT SOMEBODY WENT INTO BUSINESS OR BUY A PROPERTY. IT'S AN ONGOING BUSINESS. IF I WIN, I WAS GOING TO BUY A CONVENIENCE STORE AND IT'S A CONVENIENCE STORE AND I BUY IT. YOU KNOW SHAME ON ME. I GUESS IF I DON'T GO AND VERIFY THERE CAN BE A CONVENIENCE STORE, BUT IT'S BEEN A CONVENIENCE STORE FOR LAST 10 YEARS. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY, VERY POSSIBLE THAT I WASN'T TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NEFARIOUS. I WOULD JUST. MADE A REASONABLE ASSUMPTION. SO I WANT TO GIVE THAT THAT BENEFIT AS WELL. THAT COULD BE CASE, SO. 
          FOR THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ITEM. SO I ASK THE APPLICANT ONE MORE THING. HOW MANY SCHEDULE VIDEOS DO YOU HAVE COMING UP? I COULD NOT ANSWER. SCHEDULE VENUES THERE AT THE PRESENT. CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO IT, SO THEY HAD PRIOR TO RECEIVING THEIR FORMAL NOTICE OF VIOLATION. CAN'T DO THIS RIGHT AND AROUND FEBRUARY THEY HAD BOOKED A BENT EVENTS PRIOR TO THAT, SO WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM TO SAY, LOOK. FOR THE EVENTS THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY SCHEDULED UP UNTIL THE TIME YOU GOT YOUR NOTICE OF VIOLATION. WE WILL HELP YOU ACCOMMODATE 
          [01:20:04]
THOSE THOSE HAVE TO ALL OCCUR OUTDOORS. FOLKS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE ANY OF THE BUILDINGS BECAUSE SOME OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT THE CITY HAS OBVIOUSLY IS WITH FIRE AND BUILDING SAFETY. AND SO THEY HAVE TO EITHER HAVE A FIRE WATCH OR LIMIT FOLKS FROM GOING OUT, SO I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A FEW EVENTS CONTINUED THROUGH THE END OF AUGUST THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO SCHEDULE ANY ADDITIONAL EVENTS UNTIL THEIR ZONING IS IN PLACE. AND THE SITE IS BROUGHT UP TO CODE. THANKS, JENNIFER. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. I DON'T SHOW ANYBODY THAT HAS REGISTERED TO SPEAK. BUT IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO IT? BETTY PET KAZAKH. I LIVE AT 11 01 WEST LOUISIANA STREET. 
          MAYOR FULLER COUNCIL. AND MR GROUNDS. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME GET UP AND SPEAK. I AM HERE JUST BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND FOR HISTORIC SITES SUCH AS THE BINGHAM HOUSE. AS A LONGTIME RESIDENT IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT WHEN YOU HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT REZONING, YOU WORRY. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY AND CHARM OF THIS CITY. I THINK AS A CITY AND AS A COMMUNITY, WE HAVE GOT TO BE REALLY CAUTIOUS ABOUT REZONING WHEN IT COMES TO PROPERTIES LIKE THIS. ALTHOUGH I REALLY APPRECIATE PEOPLE COMING IN AND BUYING INTO TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND WANTING TO RUN BUSINESSES LIKE THIS. I THINK SOMEHOW WE NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO INDIVIDUALS. THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY PROPERTY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OR A HISTORIC SITE. THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT PROPERTY IS ZONED. AND THE RESTRICTIONS THAT APPLY TO THAT PROPERTY. IF WE ARE WILLING TO CHANGE ZONING REQUIREMENTS JUST BECAUSE THE PROPERTY HAS CHANGED HANDS. I FEEL LIKE THE MESSAGE THAT WE ARE SENDING IS THAT THE ZONING RESTRICTIONS IN OUR HISTORIC CITY CAN BE EASILY CHANGED. IF THIS IS THE APPROACH THAT WE'RE TAKING OVER TIME, OUR HISTORIC DISTRICT WILL LOSE ITS UNIQUENESS, ITS INTEGRITY AND ITS CHARM. ONE MORE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING CHANGING THE ZONING. I WISH THAT YOU WOULD TAKE TIME TO APPROACH THOSE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT. AND MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME TO FIND OUT. 
          HOW HAS THIS AFFECTED YOU? YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TO A WEDDING. I HAVE HAD A FAMILY WEDDING THERE. WE HAD 150 PEOPLE. IT WAS CROWDED AND THERE WERE A LOT OF CARS. IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE 300 PEOPLE THERE. THAT IS A CONCERN AND I FEEL LIKE THAT. I DID NOT HEAR TONIGHT THAT WE DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          HELLO, MAYOR COUNCIL. EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TONIGHT. EVEN AFTER EARLIER TODAY WHEN I WAS AT THE OTHER PRIOR MEETING AND LISTENING TO JENNIFER'S PRESENTATION, I STILL DO NOT. AND THANK YOU. FOR MANY OF YOU LISTENING TO MY WORLDS AND CONCERNS, BUT I STILL DON'T BECAUSE OF EVEN WHAT BETTY? I CONFER, CONFER WITH WHAT BETTY JUST SAID. BUT ALSO AFTER LISTENING TO THE PRESENTATION EARLIER, I WANTED TO BRING FORTH THE IDEA. I MEAN ON EITHER ON THE NORTH SIDE AND THE SOUTH SIDE. REMEMBER THAT SCORING THAT WE RECEIVED ON THE PAVEMENT ON ON ASSAULT PAGE PAYMENTS? THOSE NEED A LITTLE HELP OVER THERE. QUITE A BIT OF HELP. I WONDERED IF YOU HAD LOOKED AT THAT ALSO. YOU KNOW A LOT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ALL AROUND. THERE IS A VERY. OLD NEIGHBORHOOD. A LOT OF THOSE FOLKS ARE ELDERS. THEY HAVE THE RAMPS GOING UP TO THEIR THEIR DOORS. IT'S A QUIET, OLDER LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY AREN'T USUALLY THE TYPE THAT WOULD I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD COME UP HERE AND SPEAK. AND LOOKING AT DOING SOME OF THE DEED RESEARCH. HE SEES THOSE THOSE PEOPLE HAVE JUST LIVED GENERATION TO GENERATION IN THOSE LITTLE HOUSES. SO THEY'VE BEEN THEY'VE BECOME AT EASE WITH THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING AROUND AND HAPPENING OVER THE YEARS THERE, AND IT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN 30 YEARS BECAUSE SOME OF OUR FIRST MHM DAY EVENTS WERE THERE. THOSE FOLKS WERE MEMBERS OF MH IN A WHEN WE BEGAN THAT IN 1993, SO WE HAD LOTS OF SOCIAL GATHERINGS THERE. I'VE BEEN TO WEDDINGS THERE. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT PLACE FULL OF MEMORIES. SURE. THAT TIMES CHANGE THINGS. MOVE ON. I LOVE ALL THE EAST 
          [01:25:04]
SIDE PROJECTS OVER THERE. THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THE CITY HALL. EVERYTHING BUT FOR THIS PARTICULAR. SPOT I DON'T THINK IT'S THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CITY TO DO. THAT'S ALL. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RIGHT? I HAD THE GENTLEMAN COME BACK UP. YOU SAID YOU REPRESENT, UH YEAH. BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT THE OWNER AS FAR AS THE REZONING PROCESS IS CONCERNED, OKAY. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT IF WE CHOSE TO TABLE THIS THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET THE OWNER TO COME HERE? AND ANSWER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE. I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE. NO, I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE OWNER UH, KNOWS AS MUCH ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT'S GOING ON. THERE IS WHAT I DO, BUT THAT WOULD YOU KNOW THAT? WOULDN'T THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BUSINESS AND HOW MANY HOW MANY. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE AT THESE PARTIES AND DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP ON THE COUNCIL. YOU KNOW? I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT HAS BEEN. OKAY, WHEN YOU GO TO WHEN YOU GO TO ALL THE WEDDINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN THEIR OVER THE LAST YEAR HAVE ALL BEEN. 100 OR LESS. NOW THAT'S BEEN DURING THE YEAR OF COVID. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AND YOU KNOW, EVEN EVEN THE OUTDOOR WEDDINGS. I KNOW SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED THIS YEAR. HAVE BEEN EVENTS AT 40 AND 50 PEOPLE, MAX SO. WHILE THAT WHILE THAT NUMBER MAY BE ALLOWED AT 300, I CANNOT ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WOULD EVER BE HALF THAT MANY PEOPLE THERE. OKAY, I WOULD ALSO SAY FROM A PRACTICAL USE PERSON WITH AN EVENT CENTER. I'VE GOT AN EVENT PLACE THAT'S 25% BIGGER AND THE STRUCTURES THAT THEY HAVE, AND MY THE CAPACITY IS 345. CAN'T HAVE A WEDDING EVENT OR ANYTHING WITH WEDDING. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TABLES, CHAIRS, FOOD. I CAN'T HAVE AN EVENT BIGGER THAN 100 SOMETHING PEOPLE. CORRECT NOT COULD HAVE THEM ALL STAND UP AND I CAN THROW THE BALL TO THEM, BUT BUT, YOU KNOW, BUT THE REALITY IS IT'S UM. A LEGAL CAPACITY BASED ON STRUCTURE AND FOOTPRINT IS I THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE USE, AND I THINK THE USE HAS BEEN A PROVEN USE. AND YOU KNOW I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR BOTH. BETTY AND NINA. BUT KIND OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID THAT PEOPLE AROUND THERE HAVE BEEN THERE FOR GENERATIONS AND EVENTS BEEN GOING ON THERE SINCE. I THINK YOU SAID 1990 SOMETHING, AND MNH A EVENTS AND OTHER EVENTS, AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN IT'S JUST PART OF. NO. 
          THEY'RE THEIR COMMUNITY AND WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN. THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT WAS JUST SAID. 
          AND. CAN'T HELP TO FEEL THAT IS ACTUALLY RIGHT AND FOR ME THAT THAT MORE SUPPORTS SUPPORTING THIS AND IT DOES NOT. FOR ME, AND I BELIEVE THAT. THE OTHER POINT THAT IT BRINGS VISITORS IN TRAFFIC. AND WHAT NOT TO OUR BUSINESSES ON THE SQUARE. I THINK THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT UM. JUST IMPORTANT ASSET IN THIS CONSIDERATION. AND WHETHER WE LIKE HOW THEY GOT HERE OR NOT, OR WHETHER THEY EVEN GOT HERE WITHOUT ANY I DON'T NECESSARY BELIEVE THEY GOT HERE WITH ILL INTENT. THERE'S NO BETTER WAY TO DO A CASE STUDY HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN OPERATING FOR 30 YEARS. AND SO I MEAN, HERE WE ARE. NORMALLY WE WOULD NEVER HAVE THIS BENEFIT, SO LET'S LET'S FLIP IT FOR A SECOND. TALK ABOUT BEING MAD HOW IT GOT HERE. WHAT WE DO HAVE YEARS INSTEAD OF WONDERING, IS IT GOING TO IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD? IS IT GOING TO BE A NEGATIVE EFFECT? WE HAVE A 30 YEAR HISTORY. OF EVENTS. BEING HERE AND WHAT WE'VE HEARD ANYWAY, IS NOT A SINGLE, UM, NOT A SINGLE LETTER OF COMPLAINT, NOT A PHONE CALL. I'VE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS. WE DO HAVE A DECADES LONG CASE STUDY. AS TO WHAT THE. IMPACT HAS BEEN AT LEAST EXPRESSED, SO I KIND OF LOOK AT IT THAT WAY FOR MYSELF. AND IT DOES HAVE THE GIANT REZONING SIGN ON IT TODAY. I DROVE BY. YEAH, IT DOES. YEAH, AND ALSO YOU KNOW, THEY TALK ABOUT KEEPING THE NEIGHBOR YOU KNOW, THE. HOMETOWN FEEL AND, UH, HISTORIC, GARY, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. THEY WANT THAT IN THIS AREA. I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING TO DISRUPT THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE GO THERE. IT'S NOT, TOO IS JUST PRETTY TIES THEM TO KEEP THESE PICTURES. AND SO YEAH, I GOT NO PROBLEM WITH IT. RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT THAT EVEN THAT 
          [01:30:13]
ONE? YES, GOOD. I'M. LOOK AT THE PROJECT. WHAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT HER. I DON'T LIKE. WAY IT SPENT MORE OR LESS OPERATING. TO REGULATE FOR THE LAST YEAR. HAD THROUGH FUND CHANGED HANDS, AND CERTAINLY I THINK. DILIGENCE THE BUYER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT OPERATING LEGALLY OR NOT. A LOT OF TRICKS. SUGGESTION THAT WE HEAR FROM THE OWNER HIMSELF TABLE THERE. AND UNCERTAINLY, RESPECT. UH BETTY AND NINA'S OPINION ON THE MATTER. AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS COME BACK WHERE I CAN BE THERE IN PERSON AND STILL A LITTLE MORE INVESTIGATION ON THAT BE IN FAVOR OF TABLE IN THE MATTER UNTIL THE NEXT STEP. BEAUTY. 
          OH, MHM. THE OTHER CARDS. I STRUGGLE WITH THIS A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MR MAYOR, THAT, UM. NO, IT HAS OPERATED LIKE THIS FOR AT LEAST 25 27 YEARS. 
          UM YOU KNOW THAT YOU SEE THAT IN THE PATTERN OF THE COMBINED LOTS, THE IMPROVED PARKING LOT. 
          NO ENORMOUS SIGN IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE 54 PARKING SPACES WITH BED AND BREAKFAST ON. YEAH, AND SO WE KNOW THIS HAS THIS WAS DESIGN OR THIS WAS USED LIKE THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND. I THINK THAT THERE'S THERE IS SOME MISUNDERSTANDING AND THE OVERALL WHAT'S THE INTENDED USE? BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN APPLICANT COMING TO US, SAYING I WANT TO USE THIS FOR 300 PEOPLE. THIS WAS A CITY INITIATED. UM UHH PROCESS THAT SAYS YOU'RE OUT OF COMPLIANCE. HERE'S THE STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE TO BECOME COMPLIANT. AND AS THE APPLICANT DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS OUTLINED FOR THEM TO BECOME COMPLIANT. I MEAN, THEY ASK FOR HIGHER ZONING, AND WE SAID THIS IS THE ONE THAT FITS RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? ULTIMATELY RIGHT, SO THE FIRST STEP FOR THEM TO BECOME COMPLIANT IS TO GAIN THE PROPER ZONING, WHICH IS A DISCRETIONARY ACTION BY THE COUNCIL AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S APPROPRIATE, SO THAT'S THEIR FIRST STEP FOLLOWING THAT. IF THE ZONING IS APPROVED, THEY'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FALL SITE AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WHICH IS IMPROVE THE SITE TO COMMERCIAL STANDARDS, FIRE SAFETY BUILDING SAFETY AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS BEFORE THEY CAN CONTINUE OPERATING. IT WASN'T THAT THE APPLICANT OR THE OWNER WAS SITTING THERE OPERATING WITH 100 PEOPLE AND THINKING WELL, WE NEED TO MAKE THIS 300 PEOPLE AND I'M GOING TO GO MAKE AN APPLICATION TO DO THAT. IT'S THAT THE CITY. SAW WATER BILL THAT SAID A BUSINESS NAME ON IT AND SAID, WAIT A MINUTE. THAT'S NOT A BUSINESS ADDRESS, ESSENTIALLY AND STARTED LISTING OFF THE NONCOMPLIANCE, AND HERE'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO ALLOW YOU TO OPERATE THE WAY THAT YOU'VE OPERATED IN IT FOR A YEAR. IN THE WAY THAT. HAVE THIS ROOM UNDERSTANDS THAT IT'S OPERATED FOR 25 YEARS, AND SO IT I DON'T SEE WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED AS THIS MASSIVE CHANGE FROM WHAT HAS EXISTED. UM I SEE IT AS JUST AN ONGOING IS A WAY TO AS YOU WERE SAYING, MEMORIALIZE. WHAT WHAT EVERYBODY HAS EXPERIENCED OUT OF THIS SIDE FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS. AND I THINK IF YOU PULL IT BACK TO WHAT IS ALLOWED TODAY RESIDENTIAL ZONING WITH US WITH S U P. FOR BED AND BREAKFAST. I MEAN, YOU GOT A SITE THAT'S STARING AT A PAWN SHOP. AT THE BACK DOOR OF A PAWN SHOP. ALONG HIGHWAY THAT'S YOU KNOW, GOT A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT AND OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT WE'VE ASKED FOR. MORE BUSINESS AND GRANTED SOME PARKING ALLEVIATION IS TO BRING THAT ABOUT. AND SO I JUST DON'T I DON'T SEE DON'T SEE THE CHANGE AS BEING. THIS. THIS BIG DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT EXISTS TODAY, AND I THINK EVEN, UM YOU KNOW, THE REQUEST THAT'S IN FRONT OF US IS A REASONABLE. 
          USE FOR THIS PROPERTY BASED OFF OF WHERE IT IS AND WHAT IT HAS BEEN USED FOR IN THE PAST, AND SO I'M I'M OKAY WITH WITH THE REQUEST AND. UM, YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE THE MERIT AND EVER WHAT EVERYBODY HAS SAID IT'S THING, BUT I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLED 
          [01:35:02]
UNTIL AT LEAST NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. I DON'T HAVE SUPPORT FOR THAT. THEN I'LL VOTE AGAINST IT BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY QUESTIONS IN MY MIND SO FAVORABLY FOR IT AFTER WHAT I'VE HEARD THIS EVENING. I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE TABLED THIS SIDE UNTIL. UH NO AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. YES NO. YOU KNOW WHAT, EXACTLY WHAT? YOU HAVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC. 
          YEAH, I KNOW, BUT WELL, OKAY. WE CAN STILL BUY THE MOTION. IF THE IF THE DESIRE IS I'M SORRY. 
          YES THE DESIRE IS TO TABLE IT TO THE NEXT MEETING. WE'LL NEED TO CONTINUE THE PRESSURE. SURE. 
          SORRY. START DOING IT. NO NO, NO, NO, YOU DON'T. I WAS INCORRECT. OKAY, LISTEN, MOTION WASN'T ASKED FOR YOU KNOW, HE DID. HE JUST MADE A MOTION? NO, BUT YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR A MOTION. 
          I MEAN, I COULD HAVE MADE A MOTION TO PASS THIS THING 20 MINUTES AGO. IS THERE EMOTION? I I'M YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. WELL, YOU MADE THE MOTION CHARLIE. ANYBODY ANYBODY'S GONNA SECOND BATH. SECOND IS THAT SECOND THERE IS A MOTION IN THE SECOND. THE AWFUL LITTLE FAVOR OF MY MOTHER. OKAY? IMAGINE THAT THIS IS A MOTION TO TABLE THE PUBLIC TO TABLE THE ITEM AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

GOING TO THE NEXT ITEM IS 210685 CONSIDER AND ACT ON ETHICS COMPLAINT NUMBER 062. OH 21, AND I'M GOING TO ASK MAYOR PRO TEMP TO HANDLE. THIS ITEM IS THIS ITEM. UM CONCERNS ME. 
          OKAY, MR HAUSER. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR PRO TEM. WE GET. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS, UH. FAIRLY STREAMLINED. THIS IS THE SECOND STEP AND. OUR ETHICS ORDINANCE COMPLAINT PROCESS. UH THERE IS A COMPLAINT THAT WAS FILED. BACK IN JUNE. AND, UH, I AM GOING. TO SHOW YOU THE EXCERPT OF THE COMPLAINT FROM MR ROBERT WARREN. IT WAS SUBMITTED AGAINST MAYOR FULLER REGARDING COMMENTS MADE ON FACEBOOK IN A CONVERSATION. 
          WITH TAMMY WARREN, THE COMPLAINANT'S WIFE. EXCERPTED HERE. GEORGE FULLER ENGAGED IN ABUSIVE VERBAL CONDUCT ONLINE WITH PERSONAL ATTACKS ON MY WIFE, TAMMY WARREN AND HER CHARACTER AND MOTIVES CALLED HER FOOLISH. CALLED MCKINNEY FIRST PACK TEAM MEMBERS OF WHICH SHE IS A PART FOOLISH, SAID ABILITY TO GRASP REALITY IS COMPROMISED, AND SHE WAS FILLED WITH HATE AND DISDAIN. HE GOES ON TO THE LITTLE C. C. C. OUR LEADERSHIP. COLLIN KENNEDY, CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, OF WHICH SHE IS ON THE BOARD. HE CALLED IT THE MCKINNEY FIRST PACK A JOKE, ETCETERA. FINALLY HE DELETED HIS COMMENTS FROM HIS FACEBOOK 
          [01:45:02]
PAGE. JUST WANTED THAT TO BE ON THE RECORD, SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS THAT. THESE COMPLAINTS ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT THESE AS A BODY TONIGHT. THE ALLEGATIONS ARE CITED TO BE A VIOLATION OF SECTION TWO FAST 263 CIVILITY, WHICH CALLS FOR THE CONDUCT OF CITY OFFICIALS TO BE ABOVE REPROACH. REQUIRE CITY OFFICIALS TO REFRAIN FROM ABUSIVE CONDUCT PERSONAL CHARGES AND VERBAL ATTACKS UPON THE PERSON CHARACTER OR MOTIVES OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC OR OTHER CITY OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES. NO, I SAID A LOT, BUT I REALLY WANT TO GET TO THE DISCUSSION OF THE PROCESS. I SAID THIS WAS STEP TWO. STEP ONE OF THE PROCESSES TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT. THEY'RE THE COMPLAINT IS BASICALLY STATING A CLAIM UNDER OUR ETHICS ORDINANCE. AND BECAUSE I REPRESENT THE CITY COUNCIL. I TYPICALLY HAVE THESE REVIEWED BY OUTSIDE COUNSEL SO THEY CAN HAVE A HAVE AN UNBIASED LOOK AT THE COMPLAINT ITSELF. SO I DID FOR THAT TO ATTORNEY BREWER, WHO REVIEWED THOSE. ALLEGATIONS AND YOU HAVE THE FULL SET IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT. BUT I SUMMARIZE IT IN THAT LAST SLIDE. AND SHE FOUND THAT THERE THAT IT MET THE. ELEMENTS BUT SHE DID NOT OPINE ON THE MERITS, OF COURSE. THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT THE MERITS OF A COMPLAINT. AGAINST A COUNCIL MEMBER OR AGAINST ANY PERSON WHO IS A BORDER COMMISSION MEMBER ARE DECIDED BY THIS BODY. YOU ARE. THE ETHICS ORDINANCE GIVES YOU THE CHARGE OF DETERMINING THE BEHAVIOR AND THE STANDARDS THAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND FOR YOUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO THE SECOND STEP NOW THAT WE'RE HERE TONIGHT IS FOR THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT. THREE ALTERNATIVES, PARTICULARLY DISMISSAL. ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION. OR TO FINDING THAT THE ORDINANCE WAS ACTUALLY THE VIOLATION ACTUALLY OCCURRED. SO. IF YOU SEE IN THE SECOND BULLET HERE, YOU HAVE A DISMISSAL AS FRIVOLOUS DISMISSAL BECAUSE THE SUBJECT CONDUCT WAS UNDERTAKEN IN GOOD FAITH RELIANCE ON A FORMAL WRITTEN OPINION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY. I WILL TELL YOU IN THE PUBLIC THAT DID NOT OCCUR, SO THERE IS A DISMISSAL AS FRIVOLOUS. WE'RE NOW NUMBER THREE DISMISSED BECAUSE SUFFICIENT COST DOES NOT EXIST TO SUGGEST THE VIOLATION MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED. MENTIONED ALREADY THAT THIS COULD BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED. AND ON THE DISMISSAL OPTIONS. YOU HAVE THESE ELEMENTS OF WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FRIVOLOUS. I'LL LET YOU JUST READ THOSE. YOU HAVE ALL THIS IN FRONT OF YOU. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN REVIEWING THIS ALREADY. BEFORE THIS MEETING, MR HOUSE GET INTERRUPTED FOR A SECOND. ABSOLUTELY. UH, YOU MADE THE STATEMENT THAT. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. UM I THINK WHAT YOU MEANT WAS THAT THERE WAS NO LEGAL OPINION ISSUED BUT ATTORNEY THAT ANYBODY WAS RELYING ON THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. 
          YOU'RE NOT MAKING A STATEMENT THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. CORRECT YEAH, YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR. UH, SINCE I AM THE CITY ATTORNEY, I HAVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE WRITTEN OPINIONS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT BEHAVIOR, AND WHAT I'M SAYING IS I DID NOT ISSUE SUCH AN OPINION. IN THIS INSTANCE. SO THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. THAT'S WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, BUT DIDN'T HAPPEN AS I DID NOT ISSUE AN OPINION. OKAY? AND I INTERRUPTED YOU. OH GOD, I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE YOU DOING SO. BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR. SO THE SECOND. 
          THE SECOND PRONGS OF A DISMISSAL WOULD BE FOR INSUFFICIENT CAUSE TO PROCEED BECAUSE THE COUNCIL DETERMINES THAT THE COMPLAINT DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS IN THE ORGANS. 
          OKAY? I ALSO MENTIONED THE FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS AN OPTION IF YOU ARE NOT READY TONIGHT IF YOU THINK THAT, BASED ON THE. THE FULL BODY OF THE COMPLAINT, WHICH YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THAT THERE'S A REASON TO CONTINUE INVESTIGATION. YOU COULD DO SO YOU COULD ASK THE OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE MATTERS WITH. MAYOR FULLER IN THIS CASE, WHO I KNOW HAS ALREADY SUBMITTED SOME REBUTTAL. OR COULD ALSO ASKED FOR FURTHER INFORMATION FROM THE COMPLIED. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH ANY OFFICIAL THAT IS ACCUSED OF ETHICS VIOLATIONS. THAT PROCESS HAS MENTIONED THERE. IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO FIND TONIGHT OR ANY NIGHT THAT A. A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER OR BOARD OR COMMISSION MEMBER HAD VIOLATED THE ETHICS POLICY. YOU HAVE THESE OPTIONS. 
          [01:50:05]
FOR DEALING WITH VIOLATIONS. RESOLUTION OF NOTIFICATION ADMONITION, REPRIMAND, CENSURE. 
          SITTING COUNCIL MEMBER CANNOT BE REMOVED BY LAW. BECAUSE YOU ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS. SO I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT AN OPTION HERE. FOREVER. THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE ETHICS ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO RECOMMEND THAT A COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. AND I THINK WE'RE ALL PRETTY WELL AWARE OF WHAT A RECALL IS, SINCE WE HAD ONE RECENTLY. SO I'M JUST KIND OF LAYING THE GROUND RULES. THAT'S KIND OF THE OPTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL. SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, MR MAYOR PRO TEM, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S REALLY UP TO THE TO THE COUNCIL TO DISCUSS THE COMPLAINT. I THINK IT WOULD BE, UM. I THINK IT WOULD BE PROPER TO LET THE RESPONDENT WAS MAYOR FORWARD TO ADDRESS THE COMPLAINT. CAN I ASK A QUESTION REAL QUICK? YES, SIR. WASN'T ON THE COUNCIL WHEN THIS ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED, WAS IT MEANT TO COVER SOCIAL MEDIA? UM, I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE. UH, FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER TRACY RAT, GRIMES MAYOR FULLER THROUGH SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. WE HAD DISCUSSED ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES AND MANNERS TO COMMUNICATE. WE JUST DISCUSSED EXTENSIVELY THINGS LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA. IT WAS LEFT OUT OF THE ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT WAS FELT THAT THOSE AVENUES WERE STILL WITHIN. THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FIRST AMENDMENT AREA THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO. DISCUSS PRIVATELY NOT IN THE CITY. A DEVICE OR CITY. 
          ACCOUNT, SO IT WAS LEFT OUT FOR THAT REASON. IF THAT WAS YOUR QUESTION, YES. OKAY? THEREFORE DO YOU WANT TO RESPOND? YEAH I SAID EVERYTHING THAT IT SAID. I SAID, I MEANT EVERY WORD OF IT. 
          I FOUND THE BEHAVIOR BY. BYE, TAMMY WARN, UM THE C C C R PHOTOSHOP A PICTURE OF MY WIFE MAKING IT LOOK LIKE SHE WAS GIVEN AN OBSCENE GESTURE. THE RIDICULOUS STATEMENTS THAT THEY MADE TO MY DAUGHTER AT THE POLLING STATION ATTACKS ON MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. I FELT THAT THEIR ACTIONS WERE NOT JUST FOOLISH. THEY WERE DESPICABLE. THEY WERE DISGUSTING. THEY WERE. 
          RECKLESS AND I EXPRESSED IT AS KINDLY AS I COULD BY SAYING FOOLISH. BUT YEAH, I THINK EVERYONE IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY SAY AND WHAT THEY DO ON SOCIAL MEDIA, NOT JUST ELECTED OFFICIALS. UM WE, UH IF YOU'RE GOING TO ATTACK MY FAMILY, YOU'RE GOING TO LIE ABOUT MY WIFE. YOU'RE GOING TO LIE ABOUT ME GOING TO MAKE ACCUSATIONS AND BASIS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THIS COUNCIL AND OTHER BODIES OF THE CITY. I'M GOING TO CALL YOU RECKLESS CALL YOU FOOLISH MCCOY A LOT OF NAMES. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE IN THAT CONVERSATION WITH ME, DON'T MAKE BASELESS, RIDICULOUS, IDIOTIC ALLEGATIONS. SO, YEAH, I SAID EVERYTHING THAT I SAID. I MEANT EVERY WORD OF IT. AND I STAND TODAY TO SAY THE SAME. 
          OKAY? ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I'M MR MAYOR FOR HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED. YES. SORRY. 
          I'M SORRY. CHARLIE. MR PHILLIPS. YES, SIR. MHM. UH HUH. I THINK THIS MATTER SINCE IT WAS RECENTLY FILED UNDER OUR ETHICS ORDINANCE WITH EMPTY OLD FAMILIAR WITH. ACTUALLY ARGUED AGAINST. ISSUING THIS ORDINANCE, BUT I'M BOUND BY IT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, BECAUSE IT IS THAT WILL COUNSEL UH HUH. THERE'S AN ALLEGATION MADE THAT THE MAYOR HAS VIOLATED SECTION TWO U 10 63, WHICH IS ENTITLED ABILITY. ON MAY 4TH OF 2021. IT'S ALLEGED TO HAVE OCCURRED ONLINE. REVIEWS THE STATEMENTS THAT WERE MADE GIVEN UP FIND THAT THEY RISE TO THE LEVEL OF ABUSIVE CONDUCT PERSONAL CHARGES OR A VERBAL ATTACK. BUT ARE RATHER AN OPINION OFFERED IN RESPONSE. ANOTHER OPINION THEY WERE NOT MADE DURING ANY OFFICIAL MEETINGS OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THERE'S NO ALLEGATIONS THAT THE STATEMENTS IF TAKEN AS TRUE WERE MADE IN ANY OFFICIAL CAPACITY. THE ONLY ALLEGATION IS THAT THEY WERE MADE ONLINE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SECTION 2263 RISES TO THE LEVEL OF DESCRIBING ANY PERSON. THEIR RIGHTS UNDER THE FIRST 
          [01:55:02]
AMENDMENT TO THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE COUNCIL INTENDED TO STRIP. ANY PUBLIC SERVANT OF THEIR RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR OWN OPINIONS BY ACTING THIS THAT YOU. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ENGAGE AND SOCIAL MEDIA. CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU MIGHT FIND OUT THERE. I TEND TO SHY AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE IT IS PRIMARILY MADE UP OF OTHER PEOPLE'S AND WE CERTAINLY ALL HAVE THAT. UH I'M GOING TO ANSWER THAT. WE DISMISSED THIS MATTER AND I'M GOING TO MAKE EMOTIONS. CHARLIE CHARLIE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OTHER DISCUSSION. BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR MOTION. WE'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO MAKE THE MOVIE RIGHT NOW. I'M JUST STILL HERE. I AM GOING. OKAY VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAS. 
          YEAH, TO THE LEVEL OF. DOES HAVE FISHING CAUSE TO PROVE THAT. THE HOT RADIATION HAS OCCURRED. OKAY AND I DON'T BELIEVE ARE THERE ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN VIEW THIS BUTTE? IT? ASSUMING AND TAKING AS TRUE TO EVERYTHING THAT WAS ALLEGED IN THE COMPLAINT, AND IT WOULD NOT SUSTAIN. HEY FATHER, NOT THE ORDINANCE, AS WRITTEN. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. I WILL RESERVE MY MOTION AND TELL EVERYONE ELSE IS HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT. THANK YOU, CHARLIE. BILL. WELL, WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS. THIS DOESN'T REACH ANY OF THE LEVELS OF WORKING AS A MAYOR, AND I'LL SAY ANOTHER THING. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET INTO POLITICS, YOU ARE IN ANYONE THAT'S GOING TO RUN AGAINST THE PERSON OR EVEN CHALLENGED THEM SUPPORTING THE OTHER PERSON. YOU BETTER GET THICKER SKIN BECAUSE THIS IS POLITICS THESE DAYS THIS AND IT'S NOT THESE DAYS. IT'S WHETHER IT WAS L B. JOHNSON OR KENNEDY RUNNING. IT DID NOT MATTER WHEN THE TIME WAS THERE. THE TAPE THAT GET INTO THE ARGUMENT OR TO HAVE IT. IT HAPPENED. POLLING LOCATIONS. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. I'VE WORKED THEM FOR 27 YEARS AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU I'VE SEEN THE WORST. INDIVIDUALS DO THEIR WORST THERE. AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO ANY OF THAT. AND I DON'T SEE A VIOLATION HERE. I JUST I SEE THIS AS A IS I MEAN, WHERE WAS ALL THIS WHEN SHIM WELL WAS HERE? I'M SORRY, BUT WE HAD HAD MORE VIOLATIONS THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD ONE EVERY WEEK. AND I JUST DON'T GET WHY WE'RE DOING THIS NOW. WHEN THERE WAS SO MUCH SAID DURING THAT ELECTION OF THE MAYOR, AND ESPECIALLY THE ATTACK ON HIS FAMILY. AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, AND I WATCHED THE ATTACK ON THE FAMILY AND I WANT YOU THROUGH SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT I KNOW. AND IF THAT WAS ME, ON THE OTHER END OF THAT, LIKE HE IS, I WOULD BE. MAN I WOULD BE HOPPING MAD AT THE REST OF YOU, AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU, YOU'D BE LUCKY TO GET THOSE WORDS OUT OF ME. IF I CAUGHT YOU OUTSIDE, AND I'M GONNA BECAUSE THAT IS JUST HOW POLITICS GOES, AND YOU DON'T TACK THE FAMILY. YOU DON'T TACK THE WIFE. YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO SOMEONE OF US HAVE AT IT. I'VE GOT THE THICKEST SKIN IN THE WORLD. BUT YOU CANNOT ATTACK OUR FAMILIES AND THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR, AND I WAS SO EMBARRASSED OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW AND I RESPECTED THAT DID THAT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR. AND I THINK THIS IS UNCALLED FOR. I THINK THIS IS WASTING OUR TIME. ANYTHING ELSE? JUST MARK JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. THERE WAS DOCUMENTATION IN HERE SOME EXAMPLES OF ETHICS VIOLATIONS OR OR SO INTERPRETED THAT WAS NOT SUBMITTED BY YOU WAS SUBMITTED BY THE COMPLAINANT. CORRECT CORRECT, AND IN THAT DOCUMENTATION, THERE WERE ACCOUNTS OF. COMMENTS THAT WERE DELETED FROM FACEBOOK, BUT THOSE COMMENTS WERE DELETED BY A CITY OFFICIAL. AND IT WAS IN A WAY TO CENSOR AS CIVILIAN. 
          CORRECT, CORRECT OR CONSTITUENT. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE HAD IN THIS CASE WE HAD IN THIS CASE. YES, THERE WAS A POST THAT WAS REMOVED, BUT IT WAS OPPOSED THAT WAS REMOVED OF GEORGIA'S HIS OWN POST. IT WASN'T A WAY TO CENSOR ANYONE ELSE CORRECT. THAT WAS THE WAY I READ IT, MAN. 
          I JUST WANTED WANTED THAT CLARIFICATION JUST IN CASE SOMEONE WHO WAS LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTATION I ECHO FREDERICK SENTIMENTS. EXACTLY. IT IS A TOUGH THING TO DO FOR TO RUN FOR OFFICE. IT IS NOT EASY. IT IS A LONG RACE. EVEN IF IT'S A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT FEELS LIKE YEARS. BUT WHEN YOU COME FOR PEOPLE'S FAMILIES, AND I SAW FIRSTHAND THE TYPES OF COMMENTS THAT WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH, AND I THINK WHAT REALLY IRRITATES ME IS NOW THAT WE ARE 
          [02:00:02]
SPENDING NOT JUST TIME. WHERE WE NEED TO BE FOCUSING ON VERY IMPORTANT MATTERS, BUT WE'RE SPENDING MONEY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR SOME FOLKS WHO WERE EXCHANGING WORDS UNKIND, UNCALLED FOR WORDS BACK AND FORTH. AND NOW BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT YOUR FEELINGS HURT. NOW WE HAVE A CASE AND THIS IS NOT A WISE UTILIZATION OF CITY TIME OR RESOURCES. THANK YOU. I'LL SAY SOMETHING. I AM. UH I'VE SEEN POLITICS IN MCKINNEY FOR MANY YEARS. AND, UM. AND WHAT I WHAT I SAW WITH THIS THE LAST MAYORAL RACE WAS PRETTY MUCH DESPICABLE. THE CAMPAIGN THAT WAS AGAINST THE MAYOR OF THE CAMP. THE MAYOR'S OPPONENT WAS HIM AND HIS THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED HIM RAN A MISERABLE CAMPAIGN. IT WAS A CAMPAIGN FULL OF HATE, AND A CAMPAIGN FULL OF LIES. AND THE THINGS THAT THEY SAID, UM. I THINK ABOUT THE MAYOR WHEN HE RAN AGAINST MAYOR LOCK MILLER AND, UH, YOU KNOW THEY HAD DIFFERENCE OF OPINION DIFFERENCES. LEADERSHIP DIFFERENCE, A LOT OF DIFFERENCES AND AFTER EVERYTHING WAS SAID AND DONE. THEY SHOOK HANDS. CAN YOU KNOW? MAYOR CONGRATULATED MAYOR LOCK MILLER FOR A GOOD AND THEN THE MAYOR LOCK MILLER PUT HIM ON CDC, AND HE RAN THE CDC FOR A WHILE AND BECAUSE THEY WERE FRIENDS, THEY BASICALLY WERE ABLE TO AND THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN WITH THIS CAMPAIGN. IT WAS JUST UGLY AND NASTY. AND IT WAS JUST DESPICABLE BECAUSE OF HOW THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD RUN IT TO WIN. THEY COULDN'T RUN IT AGAINST A MAYOR WHO HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. AND SO THEY DECIDED TO RUN IT AS AS NASTY AS THEY AS THEY COULD. AND I JUST HAVE TO HAND IT TO THE MAYOR FOR THE CIVILITY HE ACTUALLY EXPRESSED THROUGH THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND SO, UM. I FIND THIS AS FRIVOLOUS AND HIS MONEY WASTING TIME WASTING AS WE'VE EVER SEEN. AND SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSEWHERE? YEAH. CAMPAIGN. I'VE SAT HERE AND I WATCHED AND, UH, WATCH THE ELECTION GO ON, AND ALL THE THINGS THAT FREDERICK AND RAINING AND. COUNCILWOMAN FELT US EXPRESSED ALREADY. UM IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT WHY GEORGE IS HERE? AND WHAT HE'S DONE FOR THE CITY. AND HE FIGHTS FOR THE CITY JUST LIKE HE THOUGHT. FOR HIS WIFE. FOR ANYBODY HERE ON THE COUNCIL. THAT'S THE KIND OF MARRY YOU WANT. YOU WANT TO ONE THAT STANDS UP AND FIGHTS AGAINST THESE THINGS. AND I'M AGAIN PROUD TO SERVE WITH HIM. THAT'S ALL I HAD. CHARLIE, HAS YOU HAVE A MOTION? YES, SIR. I DO. YEAH. COMMERCIAL THAT WE DISMISSED THIS MATTER BECAUSE THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT CAUSE TO, UH, SHOW THAT A VIOLATION OF THIS. ORDINANCE EXIST. IT'S AND YOU'RE GOING TO DISMISS IT AS FRIVOLOUS, RIGHT? I'M NOT GOING TO DISMISS IT AS DRIVEL LEVEL. THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE OPTION. NUMBER 33, BUT OKAY, IT'S INSTANT. OKAY, INSUFFICIENT. THREE B THREE, OKAY, DISMISSED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT JUST FISH IN EVIDENCE THAT VIOLATION A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED. WE HAVE A SECOND SECOND. THEREFORE YOU MAY VOTE AS WELL, SIR. OKAY, I'LL THE VOTE. ABSOLUTELY VOTES IN FAVOR OF THIS MOTION. SURE. I CAN AMENDMENT THAT ISSUE A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO FRANKLY, THOMAS FOR HAVING PUT UP WITH THAT, BUT WE REFRAINED FROM DOING THAT. OKAY? THANK YOU ALL. I APPRECIATE THE WORDS THAT WERE SAID TODAY. AND. AND COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS. I ACTUALLY. TAKE WHAT YOU JUST SAID AT THE END, VERY SERIOUS AND I WISH THERE WOULD BE A AN APOLOGY TO MY WIFE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT APOLOGIES TO ME. I KNOW WHAT I KNOW. KNOW WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE AND I'M USED TO IT. UNFORTUNATELY SADLY, BUT SHE DOESN'T DESERVE ANY OF IT. AND THE FACT THAT SHE WAS ATTACKED WAS JUST REALLY, REALLY WRONG. AND ANYONE WITH CHARACTER WOULD SEND AN APOLOGY AND MAKE TRY TO MAKE AMENDS. SO. BUT I SAID, OF 
          [02:05:05]
