UM AND, OF COURSE LAST, BUT NOT LEAST WHEN THEY GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR PACKAGE, LIQUOR STORE ELECTION, SO WE HAVE SECURED THE FUNDING. MISSION BAY'S NOW THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN A VERY QUICK TIME FRAME. UM WE WILL START THE PETITION. HOPEFULLY NOVEMBER 15TH. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF FILING THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK WITH THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE. TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I KNOW AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY QUICK TIME FRAME, BUT WE ARE ON A FAST TIMELINE IN ORDER TO GET ALL THE PROPER. UM BUT THE PETITION PHASE, WHICH IS 60 DAYS AND COLLECTING THOSE. 24,000 SIGNATURES IS WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR REGISTERED VOTERS SO THAT WE CAN BE ON THE MAY BALLOT. UM WE HAVE ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING TOGETHER A CITIZENS KIND OF GRASSROOTS COMMITTEE TO HELP SUPPORT THE EFFORT. AND UH, BRIAN LOT. MILLER, WHO IS OUR FORMER MAYOR OF MCKINNEY, HAS AGREED TO CHAIR THAT COMMITTEE.SO THAT'S OPEN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE A PART OF THE EFFORT. BECAUSE WE'LL NEED TO BE GETTING OUTSIDES AND DOING OTHER THINGS. SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, OP EDS. ALL THAT KIND OF. FUN CAMPAIGN THINGS THAT WILL NEED TO TAKE PLACE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE OF THE PACKAGE. LIQUOR STORE ELECTION. ON I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS ONE. SO THE PETITION, IS IT? IS IT ONLINE PETITION, OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN PERSON HAS TO BE IN PERSON HAS TO BE A SIGNATURE, AND IT HAS TO BE A REGISTERED VOTER. AND IN THE CITY LIMITS OF MAKENI. HOW DO YOU DO YOU VERIFY THE IT'S A REGISTERED VOTER AFTER THE FACT, I GUESS SO.
THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE HAD TO. HAD TO COME UP WITH THE FUNDING BECAUSE WE'RE HIRING A CONSULTANT WHO COMES IN AND DOES THIS SO THEY ACTUALLY EMPLOY PEOPLE WHO GO OUT AND THEY HAVE A MAP OF ALL THE REGISTERED VOTERS IN MCKINNEY. THEY SEND OUT LETTERS IN ADVANCE TO PEOPLE TELLING THEM WHAT'S COMING. THEY GO KNOCK ON DOORS. THEY COLLECT THE SIGNATURES EVERY DAY, THEY'LL BE VERIFYING THE SIGNATURES THEY COLLECTED TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE REGISTERED VOTER SO. IN REAL TIME. WE KNOW HOW MANY RURAL SIGNATURES WE HAVE AS WE'RE COLLECTING THEM.
WE DON'T WANT TO COME TO THE END OF THIS AND RIGHT. YEAH, THAT'S I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. YES EXACTLY. NO WE'LL BE. IT WILL BE A ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR THE NEXT 60 DAYS BEGINNING HOPEFULLY, NOVEMBER, 15TH PERFECT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LISA? NO I'M JUST CLARIFY. THIS IS FOR PACKAGE LIQUORS SELLS HER PACKAGE LIQUOR STORES NOT FOR BUT THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT. WE ALREADY ARE ABLE TO SELL BEARD WINE AS YOU KNOW, IN MAKENI. THIS IS NOT FOR FULL ON BARS. SO THAT IS ONE THING THAT MCKINNEY DOESN'T HAVE THAT OTHER. SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES DO HAVE. BUT WE DID NOT SEE AS WE PULLED OUR RESTAURANTS AND THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE IN NEED IN THE COMMUNITY OR A DEMAND FOR THAT. AND THERE ARE WAYS FOR RESTAURANTS THAT DON'T MEET THE CRITERIA WITH 51% FOOD TO ALCOHOL SALES, MAKING SURE YOU HAVE YOU SAW MORE FOOD THAN ALCOHOL. THERE ARE SOME S UPS IN OTHER WAYS THAT LEGALLY, UM ESTABLISHMENTS CAN. STILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE, BUT WITH MORE APPROVAL IN BEDDING, SO IT IS JUST FOR PACKARD'S LIQUOR STORES IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. EDIBLE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP. WE HAVE THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. IT'S CATHERINE TODAY. CATHERINE MIGUEL M. C, D.

REPORT ORGANIZATIONAL REPORTS AND PETER I'LL LET YOU TAKE IT FROM HERE, MR. CHAIRMAN UM I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN ADDITIONAL TO ADD TO THE ORGANIZATION REPORT. I WILL JUST POINT OUT A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS. UM THAT WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST PAID MARKETING CAMPAIGN, SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN EAGERLY TRYING TO DO FOR A WHILE. WHICH RESULTED IN WE HAD A GOOD RESUL, USUALLY UTILIZING OUR DIGITAL MARKETING FIRM. UM WE DID IT OVER A TECH EVENT THAT CONNECTS CONNECT X EVENT THAT WAS HOSTED IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS. IT WAS KIND OF A HACKATHON FOR LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS AND TECHNOLOGISTS. AND WE ENDED UP MAKING OVER 45,000 IMPRESSIONS. THERE ARE PART OF THAT CAMPAIGN AND THROUGH THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN, WHICH SPANNED THREE DAYS, THE AVERAGE COST OF OUR CLICK WAS ONLY 94 CENTS, SO I THINK THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN COSTS ABOUT $300 SO REALLY, REALLY GOOD BANG FOR A BUCK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN PUSHING TOWARDS FOR A WHILE. UM WE'VE RECENTLY PUT OUT A OR MADE AN OFFER TO A NEW MARKETING EXECUTIVE THAT SHOULD BE STARTING WITH US, PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT MORE OF THIS. SO THIS IS A GREAT USE OF OUR ADVERTISING FUNDS TO GET. THE BROADEST REACH FOR THE LOWEST COST, SO THIS WAS JUST KIND OF A TEST CAMPAIGN AND IT REALLY SHOULD WELL, SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE WITH THESE. AND THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.
