Board and Liaison Updates Board Chairman City of McKinney Chamber of Commerce Community Development Corporation Visit McKinney

[Consider/Discuss/Act on Adding a Monthly Report from the McKinney Independent School District (and periodically from other independent school districts) to the “Board and Liaison Updates” section of the MEDC Monthly Board Meetings]

ONLY ONE OUT 713 CONSIDERED A SUSPECT ON ADDING A MONTHLY REPORT FROM THE CANADIAN DEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. PERIODICALLY FROM OTHER INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO THE BOARD LIAISON UPDATES SECTION OF THE MEDIA SEEM NOT THE BOARD MEETINGS. WELL, MR CHAIRMAN SINCE I PUT THIS FORWARD AS AN AGENDA ITEM, I'LL START THE CONVERSATION. I WAS THINKING BACK TO THE SPRINGTIME WHEN ONE OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVES FROM THE MS SD CAME AND PRESENTED THE CASE. IN SUPPORT OF THE SCHOOL BOND ELECTION, AND DURING THAT MEETING, WE ALL AGREED THAT WE ARE MUTUAL STAKEHOLDERS IN EACH OTHER'S SUCCESS. WE DEPEND ON A STRONG SCHOOL SYSTEM TO ATTRACT BUSINESSES AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND THEY CERTAINLY DEPEND ON US TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TAX REVENUES. SO AT THE TIME, UH, INFORMAL INVITATION WAS MADE, UH FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND TALK TO US PERIODICALLY, IF NOT REGULARLY, AND SINCE WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET, I THOUGHT WE. MAYBE GET THAT INTO MOTION AND FORMALLY INVITE REPRESENTATIVES FROM MSD AND OUR OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE CITY TO COME AND TALK TO US AND TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON. AND PERHAPS EVEN. WANTED SOMEONE FROM OUR GROUP. OUR BOARD, UM, SERVICES LIAISON TO THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL DISTRICTS SO WE CAN PRESENT OUR STORY TO THEM. WELL. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THEIR DISCUSSION COMMENTS. YEAH, I'VE GOT IT. I THINK YOU'D BE A GOOD IDEA. THERE'S I'M I DO A LOT OF WORK AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO I'M OVER THERE A LOT AND HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON. AND THERE'S A. RYAN AND I DISCUSSED BRINGING THEM HERE IN THE SPRING FOR THAT BOND ELECTION DEAL, AND I THINK IT WAS VALUABLE TIME. I DON'T. I DON'T LIKE THE COMMUNITY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. SO YEAH, I THINK I THINK IT'S REAL POSITIVE. THERE'S CONSTANT. COST OF CHANGE OVER THERE AND CONSTANT MANDATES AND.

PARCELS AND YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING. BEFORE. IF I COULD ADD ONE MORE THOUGHT I DID NOT SURE EARLIER. THIS IS NOT JUST A YOU KNOW? HI. HOW ARE YOU? KIND OF, IS IT? I MEAN, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD FOSTER AND EVEN STRONGER COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS, PARTICULARLY IN MY SD. BECAUSE AS I SAID EARLIER, THEY DEPEND ON US TO DEVELOP THE COMMERCIAL TAX BASE. WE DEPEND ON THEM TO PROVIDE GOOD EDUCATION TO TRACTOR COMPANIES.

BUT WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER. I THINK MUCH MORE EFFECTIVELY AND COLLABORATIVELY THAN WE HAVE, AND THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE. THERE IS, UH. GOT A LOT OUT OF WHEN THEY CAME IN THE SPRING. UH YOU KNOW, I WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WENT ON THE TOUR MALVIN. THE SCHOOL, WHICH WAS VERY EYE OPENING IN A POSITIVE WAY. ON A PRACTICAL LEVEL, AND I'M FORGIVE ME. I HAVEN'T THOUGHT THIS THROUGH AT ALL. BUT I THINK MSD IS PROBABLY THE MOST RELEVANT.

GENERALLY SPEAKING WITH US, AND THEN IT COMES DOWN TO ELEANOR FRISCO, RIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE CORRIDOR WE'RE DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW. NOW WE'VE ALSO GOT PROSPER. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE JOY IN THERE, AND I'M NOT SURE ON A PRACTICAL LEVEL. UM, THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THEM ALL EQUALLY. UH, ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT. I HAVE A THOUGHT ON IT. UM. I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING IS. MATTHEW IS A GOOD IDEA. I THINK IT'S WHAT IS THE END GOAL BECAUSE YOU KNOW? WE ARE PARTNERS IN THE SENSE OF. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. TO THE EXTENT THAT IF YOU TALK TO MOST MAJOR COMPANIES WHEN THEY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW. METRICS AS TO WHY THEY WANT TO BE IN A COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE ONE OF THOSE METRICS IS THE QUALITY OF THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM. WHERE THEY HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING WE ALWAYS SOLD ON MY SD. WE DO HAVE SEVEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES. LIE, AND I THINK THAT ULTIMATELY FROM A DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT. ONES THAT ARE PRIMARILY GOING TO. IMPACTFUL FROM OUR STANDPOINT WOULD PROBABLY BE. MCKINNEY OBVIOUSLY, BUT FRISCO ALLEN, BUT AND. PROSPER BECAUSE AS THINGS DEVELOP NORTH OF OUR NORTHERN QUADRANT. IS PREDOMINANTLY, MOST OF THAT IS PROSPEROUS D SO. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE SEND THE INVITATION OUT. TO INVITE THEM. AND. HAVE

[00:25:03]

SOME DISCUSSION IS, YOU KNOW WHEN IT. AT LEAST FOR THOSE OTHER THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND LOVE, JOY AND THINK, LUCAS POSSIBLY, UM WHEN THEY WANT TO SUBMIT SOMETHING THEY CAN.

CERTAINLY COULD EVEN YOU COULD EVEN THROW OUT A QUARTERLY DEAL WHERE THEY KIND OF ARE MEETING ONCE A QUARTER AND GIVE US AN UPDATE. YEAH, IT'S A HARD PROCESS, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I KNEW A NEW SCHOOL IS BEING DEVELOPED INSIDE THE MCKINNEY DISTRICT, OR WE HAVE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE INSIDE THERE. S DS, RIGHT? I MEAN, WHAT? BECAUSE IT AGAIN. IT'S GOT TO BE A BENEFICIAL THING FOR BOTH. AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS RIGHT? IT HELPS US AS WE KNOW WHERE NEW HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS OR ELEMENTARIES ARE BEING PLACED AS WE DO FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS SO THAT WE CAN TALK TO THOSE THINGS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE CAN. ALSO TALKED THE SAME TALK. WE HAVE FUTURE HEADQUARTERS THAT ARE GOING IN THERE. I SD AREAS THAT THEN HELP THEIR TAX BASE AS WELL. SO. AND THAT'S USUALLY WHERE THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE COME UP IN THE PAST. IT'S BEEN WHEN. NO, IT CAME UP IN THE PASSIVE PROSPER WHEN THEY WERE PURCHASING LAND FOR FUTURE SCHOOL. SITES AND THERE. INTO CERTAIN STATE TO KENNEDY, AND I'M SURE THAT CAN SPEAK TO THIS THERE. THEY LOOK LOOK AT IN TERMS OF SCHOOL SIDES AND. WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO PURCHASE LAND OR NOT, IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT AND DETERMINATION ON WHERE WE. READING SENTENCE AND POTENTIALLY HAVE TO LAND ACQUISITIONS. THERE DOES NEED TO BE SOME. ORDINATED EFFORT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY CERTAIN BUSINESSES CERTAIN PLACES SO I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S. NO DISCUSSION. AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAD REMEMBER BACK YEARS AGO, WE HAD, UH YOUR MARK. YOU REMEMBER THIS, TOO, WITH. HAD WITH RIDGE ROAD AND THE PROBLEMS WE RAN THROUGH AND OF SEEING HIM TO ESCALATE. THE CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE ROAD. AND MAKE FOR MCKINNEY BECAUSE OF THE. SCHOOL DISTRICT, PURCHASING AND BUILDING THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OUT THERE. AT A TIME WHEN THERE WASN'T A TURN LANE OFF AT 3 80 RICH ROAD DIDN'T GO THROUGH. REMEMBER THAT? YEAH. AND THAT IMPACTED HAD A DOMINO EFFECT ON BOTH. RIGHT AWAY. GOT EXPENSIVE DID AND THAT IMPACTS THE CITY AND THEN ALSO IMPACT. IT IS SIN CITY RECEIVED FROM THE SAME POINT OF CONTRIBUTION. SO YEAH. I MEAN, I APPLAUD THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR TAKING, TAKING THE STEPS AS WELL AS AT THEIR LAST MEETING TO HAVE ALL THE SUPERINTENDENT OR THE YOU KNOW, THE THREE BIG SUPERINTENDENTS, MCKINNEY, FRISCO AND PROSPER THERE AND JUST GIVE THEIR VIEWS. I THINK THERE WAS AN EYE OPENING THING, PROBABLY FOR CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY AND AS WELL AS NEW RESIDENTS OF MCKINNEY THAT REALIZED THAT. MY KIDS DON'T GO TO MCKINNEY SCHOOLS BECAUSE I LIVE IN MCKINNEY. YOU KNOW, I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN THEY COME FROM AND SAY THAT'S A NEW PHENOMENON, SO I THINK THERE WAS A UM GREAT THINGS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT. UM, THOUGHTS FROM THE DIFFERENT SUPERINTENDENTS AND HOW THEY TAKE DIFFERENT UM. HURDLES AND HOW THEY HOW THEY ADJUSTED VERSUS YOU KNOW, IN THE PANDEMIC THAT WE ARE AT VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON AND HOW THEY ALL HAD DIFFERENT IDEAS AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO TACKLE THAT. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT THING FOR ALL OF US TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND AS WELL. SO YEAH. THE MORE I THINK THAT WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A COLLECTIVE GROUP AND KNOW THAT THERE'S A COMMON GOAL. AND THAT'S THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY. AND IT'S.

AND HOW WE WORK TOGETHER TO HELP EACH OTHER, BE STRONGER, I THINK IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING, SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING TO BRING UP AGAIN. WELL, IF I COULD MAYBE, UH, MAYBE TRY TO WRAP UP THE CONVERSATION OF IT BY SAYING IF WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND AN INVITATION. WE SHOULD HAVE KIND OF A MUTUAL RECIPROCITY. AND THAT WE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO GO TO THEIR MEETINGS AS WELL. AND PRESENT. WHATEVER INFORMATION WE MIGHT HAVE TO SHARE WHATEVER INFORMATION THEY MIGHT LIKE TO LEARN FROM US, AND THAT TAKES A COMMITMENT THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A COMMITMENT OF TIME FROM MAYBE PERHAPS MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD AND OR STAFF. JUST ATTEND THE VARIOUS SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS WHEN THEY COME UP SO YEAH. IN REGULAR CONTACT AND REGULAR MEETINGS WOULD LIKE TO WITH SEAN PRACTICE, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SCHOOL AND THEY HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS, AND THEY JUST NEED AN AVENUE OF WHERE TO WHERE THE SHARE THEM AND HOW TO DEVELOP THEM. A LOT OF THEM ARE ECONOMIC BASE AND LET THEM OUR SPONSORSHIP BASE, BUT THEY DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE TO GO TO THE CITY OR IN YOUR BOARDS. THEY'RE LIKE WE'RE TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND HOW TO EXPLORED THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARTNERSHIP. SO. I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO SIT IN ON THEIR MEETINGS AND INVITE THEM TO OURS. THAT'S GREAT. AS A DISAPPOINTING CLARITY FOR STAFF, SO WE KNOW HOW TO ENGAGE THE DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU FORESEE WOULD BE. MORE OF A QUARTERLY

[00:30:03]

UPDATE, UM, ESPECIALLY FOR MISTY, UM. IS THIS A WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD IT TO THE MONTHLY REPORTING ISSUE? WE HAVE A SPECIAL SECTION QUARTERLY FOR SCHOOL UPDATE. DEPENDING ON HOW HOW FREQUENTLY YOU WANT THE INFORMATION, I THINK. BEFORE THE ARE SUPPORTING SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT YEAH. I WANT TO BE CONSCIOUS OF BOARDS TIME AND NOT HAVE AT SEVEN DIFFERENT SEVEN MORE REPORTING ELEMENTS TO THE MEETING. BUT IF YOU GUYS FEEL THAT'S IMPORTANT WILL CERTAINLY MAKE REACH OUT. TO THOSE DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE A SPACE FOR THEM TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE, BUT JUST KIND OF WANT TO GAUGE WHETHER THIS IS A QUARTERLY THING OR A MONTHLY.

WELL, PERHAPS ONCE WE START THE CONVERSATION, WE CAN DETERMINE MUTUALLY DETERMINE WHAT THE RIGHT CADENCE WOULD BE FOR REPORTS AND VISITS. I COULD SEE WHERE, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD SAY WERE IN FOR QUARTERLY, BUT ANOTHER ONE MIGHT SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO COME EVERY MONTH. WE'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO COME AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE TO COME.

LET'S FIGURE THAT OUT. BUT MAYBE, UH, SUGGESTION SUGGESTED, WAY FORWARD REACH OUT TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS. ASKED FOR A DISCUSSION. OUR POINT OF CONTACT FOR PERHAPS MR MCDANIEL IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THE MEETING HIMSELF WITH SOMEONE ON HIS EXECUTIVE STAFF WILL AND WE'LL FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT CANES BETWEEN US, BUT IT STARTS WITH CONVERSATIONS. SO I THINK IF WE GO TO MCKINNEY AND FRISCO AND PROSPER TO FOLLOW ON WHAT OCCURRED HAD TO SAY THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO START AND I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN. WE'LL WORK ON THAT AND BRING SOMETHING BACK NEXT MONTH REPORT. SO CAN I GET A MOTION? I MOVED TO PROVE THAT I AM SURE SECOND. MM. MOTION BY MISSISSIPPI YOURS, SECOND BY. STUDY. I BELIEVE YEP. ITS ROOTS. RIGHT? PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA. ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD. BOARD COMMENTS, MY GUYS. UH HUH. I JUST I DO HAVE ONE COMMENT. LISA
