COMMENTS, BUT THIS IS ON AGENDA ITEMS FOR NON PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. UM I I'M GONNA TAKE A GUESS, AND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE THAT ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. MIGHT I BE CORRECT? CAUSE I'VE HEARD FROM QUITE A FEW PEOPLE PRIOR TO THE MEETING AND I'VE HEARD A COUPLE QUESTIONS ASKED ONCE IT WHAT'S THAT? SO WE HAVE SOME. I WAS I[00:20:11]
WAS GOING TO GO TO THAT. THIS IS JUST A HAD I KNOWN THAT I AM SORRY I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT TOGETHER. BUT YES. NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OTHER COMMENTS, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE EVERYONE HERE THE OPPORTUNITY. SOME SOME ? NO UH MANY PROBABLY DON'T. THE ITEM HAS BEEN TABLED. IT IS NOT BEING HEARD TONIGHT. ARE YOU ARE STILL WELCOME TO SPEAK. I'VE BEEN ASKED IF YOU FILLED OUT A CARD. DO YOU NEED TO SPEAK NOW THAT YOU REALIZE THE ITEM IS NOT BEING HEARD AND HAS BEEN TABLED ? THE ANSWER IS NO. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO. YOU CAN ALSO BUT IF YOU WANT TO STAY AND SPEAKER WELCOME TO DO THAT YOU COULD ALSO JUST SAY THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED NOT TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME SINCE THE ITEMS NOT BEING HEARD AND REGISTER YOUR OBJECTION IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE HERE TO DO, OR SUPPORT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE HERE TO DO. UM, BUT IF YOU DID NOT REALIZE THAT DEBT AND WAS NOT BEING HEARD. AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO, UH, RECAPTURE YOUR EVENING. YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO THAT, KNOWING THAT IF THE ITEM COMES BACK IF IT IS BROUGHT BACK TO BE HEARD UM, IF WHEN YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED, THERE WILL BE RE NOTICED, AND YOU CAN COME TO SPEAK AGAIN. SO KNOW THAT. AND DO WITH THAT INFORMATION AS YOU SO CHOOSE NOW. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. THE MAN. YES IS THAT I'M GOING TO BE TABLED INDEFINITELY. UM. OKAY, SO EVERYBODY WHO'S HERE TO SPEAK WILL RECEIVE NOTICE, OR AT LEAST IT WILL BE POSTED BEFORE IT COMES BACK UP. DIDN'T KNOW THAT AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE ON APRIL 4TH. THANK YOU. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO TABLE THE ITEM TO SOMETIME IN APRIL. GIVEN THAT THERE'S STILL OUTREACH THAT THEY'RE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH. WE HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THEY TABLED IT INDEFINITELY, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD REQUIRE AGAIN THAT READ NOTIFICATION OF PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FT. AND, OF COURSE, THE LEGAL NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR COUNCIL. UM. OOH I APOLOGIZE . WE'RE AT THE COUNCIL STAGE, SO PROPERTY UNDER NOTIFICATIONS WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED FOR THE RE NOTICE. IT WOULD JUST BE THE LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWABLES. APOLOGIES FOR THAT PROPERTY OWNER NOTICES ARE ONLY AT PLANNING AND ZONING SO WOULD NOT BE HEARD PRIOR TO APRIL FOUR. I WOULD NOT ANTICIPATE THAT NOW AND OF COURSE, IT WOULD BE ON THE AGENDA THAT WOULD BE POSTED PRIOR TO THAT, SO PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW THAT IF IT WERE THE CASE THEY COULD COME IN, OR MHM TAKE NOTE THAT IT MAY NOT BE THAT DAY WATCH THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA.

BUT YOU'RE SAYING DEFINITELY NOT MARCH 15TH TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY , IT WILL BE AT THE EARLIEST.APRIL 4TH THAT'S CORRECT. THE AFGHAN ORIGINALLY WAS REQUESTING MARCH 15TH. BUT JUST PRIOR TO THIS MEETING, STARTING, THEY REACHED OUT TO US AND REQUESTED TO TABLE IT TO SOMETIME IN APRIL. WHICH IS WHERE THAT INDEFINITE TABLE INCOMES IN. OKAY SO IT WILL BE OVER A MONTH BEFORE THE ADEMAS HEARD SO AGAIN IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT NEWS AND CARRY ON ABOUT YOUR EVENING A DIFFERENT WAY. YOU PLEASE KNOW YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO THAT. AND JUST EXIT QUIETLY, IF YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO SO, THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS PART OF THE ITEMS , SO THAT WAS NOT ON MY AGENDA.
APOLOGIZE IF YOU'LL COME UP AND I SORRY FOR THE DISRUPTION OF THE CONTINUITY THERE. I UM. I'M SEAN. TELL GOD ALLAH AND I WAS IN CHARGE OF MARKETING FOR THE MCKINNEY BLACK HISTORY MONTH, UH , PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS. SO IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT IT, THAT IS MY FAULT. UM, BUT AS PART OF THE COMMITTEE. I WANTED TO SPEAK PUBLICLY AND AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMITTEE , WE WANTED TO PUBLICLY CONVEY THE UTMOST GRATITUDE TO DR FELTUS. FOR HER LEADERSHIP WAS THE MAN DEDICATION. DOCTOR FELTUS HAS DEVOTED HER BOUNDLESS ENERGY, TIRELESS EFFORTS AND GENEROSITY OF TIME AND FUNDS WITH FIERCE CONSISTENCY. TO MAKE MCKINNEY'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH A SUCCESS AS JURIES PARTNER ON THE COMMITTEE. I CAN THINK OF NO BETTER WAY TO HIGHLIGHT HER ROLE. THAT SHE PLAYED IN CREATING IMPACTFUL AND ENGAGING PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY FROM MCKINNEY THAN IN THIS MANNER. NOW, THIS IS VERY MUCH A SURPRISE EVERYBODY WATCHING HER FACE BECAUSE SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS YEAR'S THEME WAS
[00:25:04]
LEGENDS AND LEGACIES. AND WHILE NO ONE CAN DENY HER DEMONTRE PASSION FOR THIS YEAR'S PROGRAMMING, I AM PERSONALLY IN AWE OF HER ON WAVING, UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES OUR CITY, OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL WHO CALL TEXAS HOME AND TO HONOR DR FELT IS LEGENDARY EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY IN MCKINNEY AND THE BIPOD COMMUNITY. WE ARE PROUD TO INTRODUCE THE FELT ITS IMPACT FUND AS A CORNERSTONE TO HER LEGACY. THE BELT IS IMPACT FUND IS A SCHOLARSHIP INITIATIVE FUNDED BY PRIVATE AND PUBLIC FIBER. ONE C THREE DONATIONS TO SUPPORT WOMEN CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN STEM POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCE PASSED AN ACCREDITED TEXAS COLLEGES. WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED AND IMPACTFUL AND ACTIVE COMMITMENT TO THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES NECESSARY TO CREATE A BETTER TEXAS TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE.THESE SCHOLARSHIPS WILL NOT BE BASED ON ECONOMIC NEED, BUT RATHER AWARDS PAID DIRECTLY TO THE SCHOOLS THROUGH AN ANNUAL ESSAY COMPETITION JUDGED BY THIRD PARTY PANEL FOR WOMEN WHO MEET THE STATE OF CRITERIA. I PROMISE YOU WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT THE FELT THIS IMPACT FUND. AND AS WE DO, DEVELOP INTO PLAY THIS PROGRAM FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR, BUT TODAY IT'S AT ITS INCEPTION.
GREGORY HEARNS. HE IS ANOTHER SUPERSTAR FROM THE COMMITTEE HAS PLEDGED $100. MYSELF I PERSONALLY PLEDGED $500 MY TWO YOUNGEST TIAGO IN VICTORIA, THIAGO'S BACK THERE. EACH PLACE $100 OF THEIR GROWING. GRANDPARENTS BIRTHDAY FUN. UM AND MY HUSBAND ALSO MY HUSBAND, JOHN CARROLL, WHO IS SITTING BACK HERE. PLEDGES ANOTHER $300 TO START THE FUND. WELL THOSE NUMBERS ARE DAYS WORTH OF PAY FOR SOME PEOPLE. OR ONE GRANT GRANDPARENTS BIRTHDAY CARD. IT COULD BE A YEAR'S WORTH OF BOOKS FOR A STUDENT OR A MONTHS WORTH OF RENT. AND GREGORY HEARNS, THE COMMITTEE AND THE FAMILY ARE EXCITED TO DONATE THE 1ST $1000 TO FUND TWO SCHOLARSHIPS THIS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. TO SUPPORT WOMEN WORKING TOWARDS A DEGREE THAT WILL BUILD A STRONGER FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE AS THEY WORK AS DR FELTUS HAS TOWARDS BEING THE CHANGE WHEN SO MANY OTHERS MERELY TALK ABOUT CHANGE. WE CHOSE TO CREATE THE SCHOLARSHIP AND THAT AFFECTED HIS NAME BECAUSE IT EXEMPLIFIES HER DEEP COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ACTIVISM , HER DEDICATION TO BEING A VOICE FOR THE UNHEARD AND UNDERREPRESENTED AND HER STRONG CONVICTION CONVICTED. SURROUNDED THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING ACTION WHEN FACED WITH THE MOST DIFFICULT ISSUES IN OUR SOCIETIES, WE THINK ABOUT THIS FOR HER HARD WORK ON OUR BEHALF THE HIGH STANDARDS SHE SETS IN HER VISION THAT HAS HELPED BUILD A BETTER MCKINNEY. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY . ALRIGHT I'LL SAY ONE QUICK THING. I'M SORRY WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ALONG. I PROMISE.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HONORED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE WANTED TO DO FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I BELIEVE AND HELPING KIDS. JUST MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO GET THROUGH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, AND THERE'S SO MANY THAT GET DISCOURAGED BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL REASONS. I WAS GIVEN A BOOK SCHOLARSHIP. AS A AS A COLLEGE STUDENT, AND IT TOOK ME SO FAR JUST FOR BOOKS, AND IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT CAN REALLY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN EDUCATION. I AM NOT DESERVING OF THIS. THIS TEAM REALLY DID THE WORK. WE HAD A VISION, AND THEY RAN WITH IT AND MADE IT BIGGER THAN MY WILDEST DREAMS. SO I CANNOT THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE. THIS IS ALL OF US DID THIS TOGETHER AND YOU GUYS PUT IN AS MUCH WORK AS I DID, BUT I'M JUST BEYOND TOUCHED AND HONORED. AND I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THESE ARE NOW PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS, NOT PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEMS. I HAVE TWO PEOPLE REGISTERED TO SPEAK, DARRYL HAI, SO HE'S OKAY. UM DAVID KELLEY. HELLO MY NAME IS DAVID KELLEY AND I LIVE AT ONE NORTH CHURCH STREET, AND I'M, A MEMBER OF THE CDC BOARD OF DIRECTORS. BEING ON THE CDC IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PRIVILEGES MY LIFE AND I AM HONORED TO STAND WITH OUR CHAIRWOMAN, ANGELA RICHARDSON, WOODS AS THE ONLY TWO DISTRICT ONE RESIDENTS ON A MAJOR BORDER COMMISSION. IN THE CITY. ONE OF THE MAIN MOTIVATIONS FOR CHANGING THE TERM LIMITS FOR
[00:30:05]
BOARDING COMMISSION MEMBERS IS TO INJECT NEW BLOOD INTO THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP PIPELINE AND GIVE MORE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO SERVE. MANY CITIES SUFFER FROM THE UTTER LACK OF WILLING SERVANTS. BUT THIS IS NOT AT ALL THE CASE IN MCKINNEY, AND I CAN CERTAINLY AM VERY PROUD OF THAT.AND I CAN CERTAINLY SUPPORT COUNCILMAN MELLORS INTEREST IN. INCREASING THE LEADERSHIP PIPELINE HERE IN MCKINNEY. AND FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CITY'S BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. I SUPPORT THE 22 YEAR TERM CHANGES THAT ARE PROPOSED TONIGHT. WHEN IT COMES TO M C, D. C D, C AND P N Z, AT LEAST AND POSSIBLY BOARI STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT 32 YEAR TERMS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY IN PLACE. FOR A T, C AND CDC. THESE ARE TRUE CORPORATIONS WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL REVENUE COMPLEX FINANCIALS STAFF TO OVERSEE AND COMPLICATED DEALS.
FOR PNC. THERE ARE A MYRIAD OF RULES, REGULATIONS, LAWS AND ORDINANCES, THE GOVERNMENT THEIR WORK THE LEARNING CURVE FOR THESE BOARDS. IS THAT WE SEE A YEAR AND IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT, TO BE FULLY COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO SPEED. ATTORNEY MEMBERSHIP OVER ON THESE BOARDS QUICKLY WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE STRENGTH OF THESE BOARDS, HAVING SEASONED MEMBERS WITH SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE, THESE BOARDS IS CRITICAL. WE HAVE A MUCH LONGER DEAL. TIMELINE ON THE CDC, OUR BOARD OUR DEALS LAST FOR YEARS, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, PROJECT BLUE SKY WAS PRESENTED TO CDC ON MY FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019. AND WE ARE NOT EVEN READY TO ANNOUNCE THAT PUBLICLY, MUCH LESS BEGIN ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING THE DEAL. TOPS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE. HELP. 1 21 WAS. FUNDED BEFORE I WAS EVEN ON THE BOARD, AND WE'RE ONLY CONTINUING THAT PROJECT THIS WEEK. UM I BELIEVE THAT COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING A GRANDFATHER PROVISION. FOR THOSE ALREADY ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND I THINK THIS IS SMART AND WE'LL MINIMIZE THE DISRUPTION TO THESE BOARDS AS CHANGES ARE PHASED IN, SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME AND MY SERVANT SERVICE LENGTH. I GENUINELY BELIEVE THAT THESE. THAT THESE BOARDS NEED STRONG CONTINUITY IN LEADERSHIP AND STRONG INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE. AS SUCH, I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FOR EACH GCC DCP, NZ AND BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS YOU CONSIDER MAINTAINING THE TO THE 32 YEAR TERMS FOR A TOTAL OF SIX AND THEN IMPLEMENT THE 22 YEAR. TERM LIMITS FOR THE OTHERS. ALSO I'LL END BY SAYING I'M IN FOR 500 ON THE FELTUS FUND. WE JUST GOT TO BURN, ALL RIGHT, WHEN I

ITEM 2 TO 0 TO 10 CONSIDER AN[Consider/Discuss/Act on Adoption of a Resolution Determining a Public Necessity to Acquire Certain Property (in Fee Simple) for Public Use by Eminent Domain and Associated with the Municipal Complex Project and Said Certain Property is Identified as Block 7, Lots 10B, 11B and 12B in the H&TC Railroad Addition an Addition to the City of McKinney and Commonly Known as 208 Main Street and Generally Located on the East Side of Main Street North of East Virginia Street and Authorizing the City Manager to Establish Procedures for Acquiring the Property in Fee Simple, and Take All Steps Necessary to Acquire the Needed Property Rights in Compliance with all Applicable Laws and Resolutions]
ACT ON ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE PUBLIC NECESSITY TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN PROPERTY AND FEE. SIMPLE FOR PUBLIC USE BY EMINENT DOMAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX PROJECT AND SAID CERTAIN PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED AS BLOCK SEVEN LOTS. 10 B 11 B AND 12 B. IN THE AGENT . EC RAILROAD EDITION IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY , AND COMMONLY KNOWN AS TO EIGHT MAIN STREET AND GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF MAIN STREET, NORTH OF EAST VIRGINIA STREET AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY AND FEE SIMPLE AND TAKE ALL STEPS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE THE NEEDED PROPERTY RIGHTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND RESOLUTIONS. VERY HI. GOOD EVENING MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL BARRY SHELTER ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. THIS IS ANOTHER PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX OR CITY HALL ON THE EAST SIDE OF VIRGINIA STREET TO HIGHWAY FIVE. THE PROPERTY QUESTIONS ABOUT 50.146 ACRE TRACT LOCATED UH ALONG. OR ITS LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS. BLOCK SEVEN LOTS. 10 B 11 B AND 12 B OF THE AGENT TC RAILROAD EDITION. COMMONLY KNOWN AS TO AWAIT MAIN STREET, SO IT'S A SMALL PROPERTY RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX PROJECT. THIS ONE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE PROPERTY. WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME. THIS PROPERTY WE'VE MADE ATTEMPTS TO REACH AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER WITH NO LUCK. WE'RE ASKING FOR THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT THAT WOULD GIVE US AUTHORITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITHIN THE DOMAIN. IT'S STILL OUR HOPE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND NEGOTIATE A PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, SMALL PROPERTY, BUT IT IS A KEY PROPERTY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FUTURE CITY HALL. THERE IS A, US TO BE MADE TONIGHT AND THIS WILL BE A ROLL CALL VOTE, AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THIS WOULD BE A ROLL CALL VOTE. BUT I MAKE THE MOTION. MR MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'RE INSTITUTING OR AUTHORIZING EMINENT DOMAIN DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE'RE TAKING PROPERTY FROM ANYONE. IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PAY THE MARKET VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY. IF WE CANNOT REACH AN AGREEMENT, I'LL WANT THAT MARKET VALUE IS INDIVIDUALLY WITH THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. THEN THERE WILL BE IT WILL BE SET IN A COURT COUNTY COURT IN COLLIN COUNTY, THERE WILL BE THREE SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS SET. AND AT A MEETING WITH THE SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS AND PRIVATE HEARING, EACH SIDE WILL PUT ON EVIDENCE AS TO WHAT THEY BELIEVE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS THE COMMISSIONERS WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO WHAT THEY BELIEVE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS THEN FREE TO ACCEPT THAT OFFER, AND IF THEY REJECT THAT OFFER, THEN THEY CAN HAVE IT TRIED TO A JURY OF THEIR PEERS HERE IN COLLIN COUNTY, WHICH WILL CONSIST OF SIX PEOPLE. WHO WILL HEAR EVIDENCE AS TO WHAT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS FROM BOTH SIDES AND ULTIMATELY, A JURY WILL DECIDE WHAT THE OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY IS PAID. SO WHEN PEOPLE HEAR DOMAIN AND THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS TAKING PROPERTY FROM PEOPLE THEY ARE EXERCISING THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN THE PROPERTY AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, AND I DO NOT WANT ANYONE PRESENT OR LISTENING TO THINK THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IS TAKING PROPERTY FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE ACTUALLY BUYING IT FROM THEM. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY WITH THAT BEING SAID , I MOVE THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THIS ITEM IS WRITTEN AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION DESCRIBED IN THIS AGENDA ITEM AND AUTHORIZED USED THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE FOR PUBLIC USE. THE NECESSARY PROPERTY IN FEE SIMPLE FROM THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY DEPICTED AND DESCRIBED BY THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHED TO SAID RESOLUTIONS, SAID DEPICTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS BEING INCORPORATED IN THEIR ENTIRETY INTO THIS MOTION FOR ALL PURPOSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX PROJECTS.

UM SO I WILL NOW CALL YOUR NAME AGAIN. REMEMBER THE RESPONSES I OFFERED UP TO US SUGGESTIONS. JOANNE KELLY GRAHAM. GOT AN I'M SORRY. NO, IT'S JOANNE. POINT OF CLARIFICATION. THREE MINUTES TWO MINUTES. I HAVE A THREE MINUTE SPEECH. MY NAME IS JOANNE KELLY GRAHAM. I LIVE AT 13 73 COUNTY ROAD 2 78 PROPERTY THAT DIRECTLY ADJOINS THAT THAT IS IN QUESTION HERE. I MOVED TO MCKINNEY IN 1983. AND I LIVED IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BEFORE IT WAS COOL BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE TO LIVE. IN THE PAST 40 YEARS. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND MOST OF IT HAS BEEN GOOD. I AM OPPOSED TO THIS ITEM TONIGHT, NOT BECAUSE IT'S ANNEXING NOT BECAUSE IT HAS COMMERCIAL. I'M OPPOSED TO IT BECAUSE OF THE EXTRAORDINARILY DENSE EXCEPTION TO PNC.APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT IS PROPOSED FOR HALF OF THIS 40 ACRE PROPERTY. THOSE APARTMENTS WOULD BE DIRECTLY ADJOINING MY PASTURES AND THAT OF MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS. WHO MAKE THEIR LIVELIHOODS WITH THE ANIMALS THERE. THERE ARE NO TREES THAT CAN SCREEN THREE STORY APARTMENT BUILDING. THERE ARE NO ROADS THAT CAN HANDLE THE 375 APARTMENT DWELLERS OR APARTMENTS TIMES TO DWELLERS. THEY WILL BE LIVING THERE. WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THIS AREA.
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THIS AREA IS LARGE PLOTS. YOU'VE SEEN THE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO YOU LARGE PLOTS ON AGRICULTURAL USE AREAS. THAT'S WHAT THE MCKINNEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR IN THAT PORTION OF THE E. T J AND I BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO COUNT ON WHAT THE COUNCIL TELLS US IS GOING TO BE THE PLAN. I DON'T MIND ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS, BUT I REALLY, REALLY DO NOT LIKE HAVING LARGE APARTMENT COMPLEXES LOOKING DOWN ON MY PASTURES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. TRADING PARTNER . IF WE COULD, IF WE COULD HOLD APPLAUSE. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. UM RICHARD WAS THAT CORPORATE CASPER? SORRY IT WAS TAKEN FROM MY LIST AFTER I SAID IT, SO I WASN'T MISSING YOUR MICAH LITTLE BIT MY MISSING IT AT LEAST FOR ME. MY NAME IS RICHARD CARPER AND I LIVE IN FOUR MONTHS, FIVE FAN AND ROAD. MY WIFE AND I BUILT THAT HOME 19 YEARS AGO. MY PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH WEST CORNER. OF 2, 78, 338 AND SANTA AND ROAD IF YOU CAN PICTURE THAT T INTERSECTION, I'M RIGHT THERE. UM. EVERY DAY. I SEE THE FIRST HAMPTON INJECT CONGESTION AT THAT INTERSECTION. WITH THE PROSPECT OF HUNDREDS OF MORE VEHICLES THAT CAN BE IN THAT AREA. IT'S KIND OF UNIMAGINABLE THAT WE WOULD HAVE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC FLOW. THE EGYPTIAN ROADS ARE ALREADY OVER OVERBURDENED. SENSITIVE ELOPEMENT OF THAT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DOWN THE STREET. THE NEW PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD ONLY ADD TO THE CONCERNS OF CONGESTION. POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS, NOISE IN THE LIGHT POLLUTION. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL HAVE A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MYSELF. AND THE OTHER HOMEOWNERS IN THAT AREA. UM ON A PERSONAL NOTE. SINCE I HAVE SOME TIME THAT'S FAIR. UM WHEN? WHEN WE FIRST
[00:50:12]
BUILT THAT HOME, I CONSIDER THE PORCH AND C THREE CARS IN THE AFTERNOON. TODAY I SEE 75 CARS AND 10 SCHOOL BUSSES IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT ADDITIONAL X AMOUNT OF HUNDREDS OF CARS WITH THE IMPACT THAT AREA SO I AM POSING THIS ZONING CASE. IT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU, SIR. ATTENTION TO THE REST OF THE FOLKS, WHICH IS A LOT OF US HERE THAT THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT. THANK YOU. THANKS, SIR. BILL DANIEL. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS BILL DANIEL. I LIVE AT 4, 10 FAT AND ROAD. WE LOVE THE PROPERTY FOR 38 YEARS.AND TALK ABOUT CHANGE. RICHARD JUST BARELY HIT THE TIP OF THE HEAD COMPARED TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN. I'M HOPING WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB. WE'LL DO A GOOD JOB TONIGHT OF MAKING OUR POINTS THAT YOU GUYS WITHOUT. IT WAS APPROPRIATE EMOTION AND WITHOUT TOO MUCH REDUNDANCY. UM ALSO HOPE THAT OUR CONCERNS HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY PRESENTED. WE STICK TO THE FACTS. AS WE UNDERSTAND THAT OUR TENT IS NOT PERSONALIZE THE MATTER. WE'RE NOT HERE TO PICK A FIGHT. WE RECOGNIZE THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE MADE THE REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION. CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IS THE WAY THE FACTS AND VOTING MAKE A DECISION. FILM. I THINK THE POINTS WILL BE ADEQUATELY MADE ABOUT WHY THE OPPOSITION EXISTS. SO I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT THAT. I DID ATTEND THE PLANNING IS HAUNTING MEETING. I DID GET MY NOTICE. BUT NOT EVERYONE DID . I MADE MY COMMENTS. DOWN. ANDD 7 TO 0. AND QUITE FRANKLY, I FELT THAT THE DECK WAS STACKED WHEN I WALK IN THE DOOR AND THAT MY FACTS WERE IT ISN'T MY COMMENTS WERE DISCOUNTED. AND QUITE FRANKLY AND CONDESCENDINGLY STUFF. THAT'S JUST MY FEELING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE INTENT WITH US. THAT WAS THE FEELING TOWN TRYING TO GET DOWN AND. A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO MAKE A 0.200 FT ON HER . WE DID SUBMIT THE PETITION. WE DID WHAT? WE THOUGHT THE RIGHT WAY. THEN WE FOUND OUT IT WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED THREE QUARTER VOTE. I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT TO FOLLOW THE RULES, BUT THEY WEREN'T UP FRONT. AT LEAST THAT'S OUR PERCEPTION. WE DIDN'T WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THEM. ANOTHER POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS THAT IN YOUR MEETING PACKAGES, YOU SHOULD HAVE A PETITION SIGNED BY 241 PEOPLE. AN ADDITIONAL 81 PEOPLE ASSIGNED THAT POSITION SINCE THE CUT OFF DATE. WE ALSO HAVE AN ONLINE PETITION THAT 454 PEOPLE ASIDE 776. PEOPLE THAT OPPOSE THIS THING IS PRESENTED. THANK YOU, SIR. FOR THE 800. NOT THE SINGULAR DEVELOPER. THANK YOU, SIR. PATRICIA DANIEL. OKAY? UM HEIDI THOMPSON. DENNIS SUMMERS.
I'M SORRY, OKAY? GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS HEIDI TOM SAID. MY ADDRESS IS 4 TO 5, FANNIN WROTE MELISSA, TEXAS, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED AT OUR ADDRESS FOR NEARLY SIX YEARS. I'M HERE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO THE CASE NUMBER 2100387 BELIEVE. WHICH CHANGES THE CURRENT MASTER ZONING PLANT FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO A MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THIS CHANGE IN THE CURRENT ZONING OF THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT COMPORT WITH EXISTING DEVELOPMENT IN OUR AREA.
ALRIGHT. NO. OUR AREA OF NORTH TEXAS HAS EXPERIENCED A LOT OF GROWTH AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT OPPOSED TO GROWTH. BUT IT SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT ALLOWS FOR GROWTH AND ALSO ACCOUNTS FOR THE CURRENT AESTHETIC OF THE AREA WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS PLACED.
THIS AREA HAS SOME AR AREA HAS SOME VERY LIGHT COMMERCIAL AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES. IT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS RURAL STATE LIVING OR SUBURBAN LIVING. OUR AREA LACKS A INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT A 300 UNITS, THREE STORY COMPLEX. AS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS, I CAN ONLY GIVE IT, UM, SPEAK FOR THE ROAD THAT I LIVE ON ITS FAIR AND ROAD. BANNON WROTE BORDERS THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. IT'S A NARROW TWO LANE ROAD REQUIRES CONSTANT PATCHING AND REPAIR IS IT IS IT HAS NO SHOULDERS, AND IT HAS NO SIDEWALKS. SO IN ORDER TO BRING THAT UP TO, UM,
[00:55:05]
SOMETHING THAT KIDS COULD RIDE THEIR BIKES ON, OR THEY COULD WALK ON SIDEWALKS TO SCHOOL WITH REQUIRE COMPLETELY. I GUESS, REENGINEERING FAN AND ROAD FROM SOUTH OF 1 21 TO WHERE IT CUTS OFF TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT TO GO TO THE ELEMENTARY SCORE THE OTHER DIRECTION. OTHERWISE IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS FOR EVEN ADULTS TO WORK ALONG THE ROAD OR TRY TO JOB. OH MY GOSH. SORRY THANK YOU, MA'AM. FAST THANK YOU, DENNIS SUMMERS. GOOD EVENING, SIR. MY NAME'S DENNIS SUMMERS. I LIVE AT 433 FAN AND ROAD. I'M ONE OF THE 200 FOOTERS. AH I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO THIS. IN PARTICULAR THE SINGING OF THE MULTIFAMILY CONSTRUCTION. I BOUGHT THIS HOUSE. BECAUSE OF THE RULES SETTING. AND WHEN I SAY RULES SETTING IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE AND STUFF OFF MY BACK PORCH, I HEAR HORSES. I HEAR GEESE ARE HERE. GUINEAS. AND WHEN I STEP OFF THE FRONT PORCH OF MY HOUSE, I LOOK ACROSS FAN AND ROAD AND I SEE LONGHORN CATTLE. NOW IF THAT DOESN'T DEFINE RURAL SETTING IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, SIR. JANET GAGAN. JANET JAGAN IN I LIVE IN 1991 SUNSET TRAIL IN MCKINNEY. FIRST OFF. THIS IS NOT A HIGHWAY FIVE PROJECT. THIS IS A FAN IN ROAD PROJECT. IT ENCOMPASSES TWO PROPERTIES, THE 515 FAN AND ROAD PROJECT IS 37 OUT OF 40 ACRES. IT IS THE CONTROLLING PROPERTY. BY FAR. IT HAS OVER 1100 FT OF FRONTAGE ALONG FANNIN ROAD, AND IT HAS ZERO FRONTAGE ALONG HIGHWAY FIVE. SO LET'S GET OUR LANGUAGE STRAIGHT FIRST. THIS IS A FAN IN ROAD PROJECT. SECOND THIS PROPOSED PROJECT VIOLATES BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PLANNING. HIGH DENSITY BELONGS NEAR. CITY CENTERS, HIGH TRAFFIC, HIGH DENSITY POPULATIONS. YOU'RE PLANNING TO PUT IT WHERE IT'S IN A LOW DENSITY POPULATIONS OWN FAR FROM THE CITY CENTER. THAT ISN'T AN NON WALKABLE COMMUNITY . THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN WALK TO, EVEN IF YOU DID HAVE SIDEWALKS, WHICH WE DON'T FOR GROCERIES OR OTHER AMENITIES WHERE THEIR NECESSITIES ALSO, AS WAS MENTIONED. THEY'RE ALL ASPHALT ROADS ADJOINING IT TO CAR ROADS, ONE INCH DIRECTION. WE CAN ALL NOT HANDLE THE TRAFFIC WE HAVE ALREADY FROM THE WILLOW WOOD DEVELOPMENT THAT JUST WENT IN WITH THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ALSO WE HAVE NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD EVEN BE BUILT. THESE ARE INVESTORS, NOT DEVELOPERS. THEY HAVE NOT DEVELOPED ANY PROJECTS ANYWHERE OF ANY TYPE, MUCH LESS MIXED USE HIGH DENSITY. WE HAVE NO ASSURANCE THAT THEY WON'T SIMPLY FLIP THE PROPERTY TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DESIGNS FOR THE PROPERTY. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WHEN THIS DEVELOPER OR I SHOULD SAY INVESTOR COMES BACK WITH A PLAN THAT IT BE DETAILED, SO WE CAN ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEY'LL DO WHAT THEY SAY SO I WOULD SAY THANK YOU, BUT NO, THANK YOU. UM WILLIAM KIBBE STOVALL. COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS KIBBE STOVALL. I ALSO LIVE IN 1991 SUNSET DRILL. I WILL ECHO MY WIFE'S POINTS ON THIS THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE A PROJECT THAT'S ON HIGHWAY FIVE. IT IS A PROJECT PROFANE AND ROAD. DO NOT BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY SUPPORTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS. IT IS NOT A GOOD FIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DESIRES TO STAY AS A LOWER DENSITY AND RESIDENTIAL RATHER THAN A HIGH DENSITY HOUSING, AND I'M LOOK SOME UP QUICKLY HERE.UM. I WOULD SIMPLY URGE YOU TO VOTE NOW ON THIS WHEN IT DOES COME UP FOR FINAL REVIEW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. I'M STEPHANIE BREWER. HELLO. I'M STEPHANIE BROWN. I LIVE AT 12 28 MILLET ROAD 1.7 MILES FROM 5 15 FANNIN ROAD, AS EARLIER NOTED, THIS IS A FAN IN ROAD PROJECT,
[01:00:05]
NOT HIGHWAY FIVE. THIS IS FOR CASE NUMBER 21 0038 Z. CITY OF MCKINNEY'S 2040 PLAN. THERE ARE FOUR PLACE TYPES. IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY RULE IS STATE, SUBURBAN AND URBAN. ON MCKINNEY'S WEBSITE . PLACE TYPE HAS ITS OWN IDENTIFYING FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS. I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE APARTMENTS FALL UNDER THE URBAN PLACE TYPE AND THE CITY'S OWN DESCRIPTORS. IS COMPACT DEVELOPMENT. MIX OF RESIDENTIAL USED SUPPORTING RETAIL. MULTIMODAL CONNECTIVITY.SURROUNDING AREA OF THIS PROPERTY HAS NONE OF THIS. UM THERE ARE NO FEATURES RIGHT NOW , AND IT'S VERY UNLIKELY THAT IN ANYWHERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPORT ANY KIND OF THIS THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. HIGHWAYS FIVE AND 1 21 WOULD NEED SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION HIGHWAY 1 21 WAS VERY RECENTLY WIDENED AFTER A THREE YEAR MAJOR DISRUPTION FOR BOTH MELISSA AND MCKINNEY ET J RESIDENTS, AND IT IS ALREADY INADEQUATE. RUSH HOUR IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT THREE YEAR EXPANSION PROJECT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. UM, LET'S SEE. UHH THE PARTY IS HERE SEEKING THIS CHANGE HAVE DESCRIBED THEIR GOAL AND CREATING AN APARTMENT COMPLEX OF 300 HOMES. AS EARLIER NOTED. DO THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED? HAS THERE BEEN A PLAN HAS ANYTHING BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION? NOBODY HERE HAS AS FAR AS I KNOW . NOBODY HERE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING. THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE PREVIOUSLY DONE BEFORE. THANK YOU OPPOSE THANK STEVE SHARP. MY NAME IS STEVE SHARP. MY VERSES 15 80 COUNTY ROAD. 3 39 MELISSA, TEXAS. MY WIFE AND I HAVE RESIDED AT THIS ADDRESS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I'M HERE TODAY TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE NUMBER 21 00 38 Z FOR SEVERAL REASONS. NUMBER ONE. THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AREA DO NOT ALIGN WITH THE MULTI FAMILY URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD. TO THE PROFILE THERE DOES NOT HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT MULTI FAMILY URBAN LIFESTYLE. THREE EXISTING BROAD NETWORK IS NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ADDED TRAFFIC CONGESTION THAT WOULD RESULT FROM MULTI FAMILY URBAN DEVELOPMENT. AND NUMBER FOUR MULTI FAMILY URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THIS NORTHERN AREA OF THE EASTPORT DISTRICT WOULD BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE STRATEGIES ALREADY DEFINED BY THE ONE MCKINNEY. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. PLEASE BE CERTAIN THAT ALL FACTS ARE ON THE TABLE AND THEY'RE APPROPRIATE DUE DILIGENCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED BEFORE LOCKING IN COMMERCIAL MULTI FAMILIES OWNING WHEN IT'S SIMPLY NOT FIT FOR THIS AREA OF THE MCCAIN E E. T.
J. I'M ASKING EACH OF YOU AS MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE NO ON REQUESTING RE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY. THANK YOU. THANKS, SIR. GENERAL SHARP. HELLO. MY NAME IS JOHN L. SHARP.
MY ADDRESS IS 15 80 COUNTY ROAD. 339. MELISSA, TEXAS. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE, AS HE SAID, HAVE LIVED HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I AM HERE TODAY AGAIN TO VOICE MY OPINION AND TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING CASE FOR MULTI FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. RE ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, AS PROPOSED WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS SURROUNDING HOMEOWNERS. IN THE PAST YEARS, DEVELOPMENT OVER THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN EITHER SINGLE FAMILY OR SUBURBAN LIVING, AS OPPOSED TO COMMERCIAL, MULTI FAMILY. AS THE ZONING CASE PROPOSES. I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE BEST DESCRIBED IN THE MCKINNEY 2040 MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED AS RULE. ESTATE, RESIDENTIAL OR SUBURBAN LIVING. AND AS A RESIDENT OF MELISSA SSD WITH A GRANDCHILD ATTENDING WILLOW WOOD ELEMENTARY , I CAN ASSURE YOU FIRSTHAND. THE COMPANY CAN GESTION ALONG COUNTY ROAD, 339 FAN AND ROAD COUNTY ROAD, 2 78, WHICH IS THE ROUTE MOST TAKEN WHEN DROPPING OFF OR PICKING UP CHILDREN. IS
[01:05:02]
SEVERELY CONGESTED. THE ADDITION OF POTENTIALLY 1000 MORE VEHICLES OR, HOWEVER, ON THESE ROADWAYS IS UNIMAGINABLE. TWO LANE STRAPPED AS FAULT ROADS WITH NO SHOULDERS ARE SIMPLY NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. I'M ASKING EACH OF YOU AS MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE NO ON THEIR REQUESTED REZONING. OF THE PROPERTY IN THIS CASE OR AT A MINIMUM TO REVIEW AND CONSIDER CURRENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES PRIOR TO MAKING A DECISION AND LOGGING IN ZONING THAT WOULD NOT BE CONGRUENT WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS. AS MENTIONED THERE ARE OTHER VIABLE AND ACCEPTABLE OPTIONS FOR ALL PARTIES. AND I ASK YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER THEM AND I DO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MICHAEL SWIM. GOOD EVENING, MR FULLER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS MICHAEL SWIM. I RESIDE AT 22 80 COUNTY ROAD 338, AND THAT'S IN THE T J AS WELL ABOUT TWO MILES FROM THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, AND I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO SAID.MEASURE NOT THE ZONE, NOT THE. NOT THE ANNEXATION. BUT THE ZONING PORTION OF THAT FOR THE MULTIFAMILY. SOME OF THESE POINTS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN TO ALREADY, BUT I'LL TRY TO MAYBE ADD JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AND THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE ONE REASON I'M OPPOSED IS THAT, UH, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS ENTIRE AREA DON'T ALIGN WITH MULTI FAMILY OR URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD. PRIMARILY YOU HAVE SINGLE FAMILY AS THERE ARE IN WILLOW WOULD WRITE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL ESTATES AND AGRICULTURAL LIFESTYLE LIVING OUT THERE. AGAIN WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THE ANNEXATION IN THE COMMERCIAL PORTION. I THINK EVERYONE HERE WOULD PROBABLY SAY WE WOULD RATHER JUST SEE ITS OWN AS SINGLE FAMILY RATHER THAN FAMILY, PARTICULARLY THE DENSITY LEVEL. THAT THE MULTI FAMILIES. ANOTHER REASON IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE 2040 PLAN, AND THE 2040 PLAN, I BELIEVE WAS UPDATED IN OCTOBER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND SO THE LAND STRATEGIES FOR THAT AREA OR WHAT? I WHAT I TALKED ABOUT BEFORE MORE ESTATE , RESIDENTIAL AND AGRICULTURAL LIFESTYLE. WE HEARD SEVERAL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE THERE TO SUPPORT THAT MULTIFAMILY. AND THEN THE ROAD NETWORK IS KIND OF A DISASTER OUT THERE BECAUSE THOSE ARE AS YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE I THINK THEY CALL IT SPRAYED ASPHALT ROADS, AND WE HAVE ENOUGH ISSUES THE WAY IT IS WITH A LOT OF THE ROCK TRUCKS AND THE HEAVY VEHICLES GOING OVER THOSE ROADS, TEARING UP THE ROAD, SO THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS REALLY NOT MADE TO SUPPORT THAT. SO ANYWAY.
APPRECIATE THE TIME TONIGHT. APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANKS, SIR. MAIRA AGGRESSIVE.
GOOD EVENING. I'M LOOKING AROUND, AND I'M PROBABLY THE OLDEST PERSON IN THIS ROOM. AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES. AND THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A GROUP LIKE THIS.

AND I'M HOPING THAT EACH OF YOU WILL GIVE A LONG TIME CONSIDERATION TO THAT, AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THIS PROJECT WORKS OUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

WHICH IS ME AND MY HUSBAND AND MY DAUGHTER AND MY SON IN LAW.
IT'S A DISSERVICE THAT WE DON'T GET TO GET UM, WHAT'S THE WORD? I'M LOOKING FORWARD NOTIFICATION NOTIFICATION AGAIN. I THINK THAT'S A BIG DISSERVICE. AND I'M KEEPING MY YES, IT'S TEXAS LAW.

CHECK, FISHER. HI MY NAME IS JEFF FISHER. I LIVE IT 70 28 PRIVATE ROAD 5042 IN THE MCKINNEY, TJ MY HOME. MY PROPERTY LINE STARTS ABOUT 1000 FT FROM THE SITE IN QUESTION.
AND WE'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 2018 15 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT WE LIVED IN PRAYER OF YOU. SO I'VE SEEN ALL OF THE GROWTH AND PROGRESS WE'VE HAD IN THIS AREA, INCLUDING MCKINNEY. UM A BIT OF BACKGROUND. MY CAREER HAS BEEN DEVELOPMENT. SO I'M VERY PRO DEVELOPMENT AND I SEE THE OPPORTUNITY WE'VE GOT THERE ON HIGHWAY FIVE AND TOTALLY SUPPORT SEEING THAT BUILT OUT TO ITS FULL CAPACITY SO THAT IT SERVES THE COMMUNITY AND GENERATES TAX BASED, ETCETERA. THE REASON WHY I AM HERE THIS EVENING IS REALLY ABOUT THE WAY IN WHICH THIS PROPOSAL CAME FORWARD AND WHAT IT SHOWS AND WHAT IT DOESN'T SHOW BECAUSE I THINK UM I THINK WE CAN ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS BY BEING VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THOSE NEIGHBORS THAT ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. IN THIS CASE, THIS PARTICULAR SECTION ABOUT SEVERAL PROPERTIES DIRECTLY, AND SO THAT IS MY REQUEST HISTORY, CONSIDERING REALLY THINK ABOUT THE ZONING AND HOW WE STEP OUR WAY FROM ONE LAND USE TO ANOTHER AND DO IT IN A WAY THAT'S SYMPATHETIC TO THOSE THAT HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE THEIR LIVES HERE
[01:15:06]
, AND I WOULD JUST SAY THIS I MENTIONED I THINK I MENTIONED I'D LIVE IN FAIRVIEW FOR 15 YEARS. SO WHEN I MOVED OUT THERE ON STACY ROAD, SOME OF YOU MIGHT RECALL STACY RODENT AND HOT WAY 75. THERE WAS A BIG OLD SIGN OUT THERE THAT WAS IN A CORNFIELD. THAT'S NOW THE WHOLE FOODS.RESTAURANT WHOLE FOODS PARKING LOT, AND IT'S A TOWN OF FAIRVIEW, KEEPING IT COUNTRY.
THEY OBVIOUSLY CHANGED THEIR PHILOSOPHY OVER THE YEARS, AND I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE DURING THE PROCESS. BUT IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH FAIRVIEW, I THINK YOU SEE SOME SYMPATHETIC TRANSITIONS. THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE HERE. SO REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU. I'M TERRY HAMMOCK HAMMOCK. MM. IT WAS THE DOUBLE M THAT HAD ME A LITTLE. IT'S MY HUSBAND WAS HERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE IT. I'LL BE BRIEF BECAUSE I'M PROBABLY GETTING BORED WITH ALL THIS, BUT THE MY MAIN OPPOSITION TO THIS PROPOSAL IS PRIMARILY A DEVIATES FROM MCKINNEY'S OWN PLAN. THIS IS THE. PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS ON COMMERCIAL AND ALL OF US THAT LIVE AROUND THERE WERE OKAY WITH THAT WE WOULD WELCOME CALLOWAY'S OR GROCERY STORE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S NOT, AS OTHERS HAVE SAID. WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT A MULTIFAMILY. EXCUSE ME. PROJECT. WE JUST DON'T AND IN FACT WE DON'T REALLY NEED OR CAN SUPPORT THE ADDITIONAL. IF IT WAS SINGLE FAMILY. IT WAS NOT ZONE FOR THAT. AND IT SHOULDN'T BE ZONE FOR THAT. THERE'S NO SEWER THERE. THERE'S NO NOTHING. THE NEAREST BUSINESSES WE HAVE. YOU KNOW? WATER HARVARD RAINWATER HARVESTING. WE HAVE CAR DEALERS . WE HAVE JUST NOTHING FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT MIGHT LIVE THERE . THERE'S NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THERE'S NO THAT NO SHOPPING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. THERE'S JUST REALLY NOTHING THERE FOR THEM, SO IT'S A WE WOULD NOT BE OPPOSED AT ALL TO SEE MULTI FAMILY GOING IN ON LIKE 1 21 UP WHERE THERE ALREADY IS MULTIFAMILY, BUT THIS IS JUST NOT A GOOD FIT, AND THEY CITY PLANNERS THAT CAME UP WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN. WE'RE RIGHT ON, YOU KNOW, THEY WENT THE RIGHT DIRECTION COMMERCIAL OKAY, MULTIFAMILY. NOT SO MUCH. THANK YOU. FLOYD SPALDING. UM. YOU ARE . NO, MY NAME'S SCALDING. I RESIDED 14 29 COUNTY ROAD, 278. DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY, UM, PROPOSED FOR ZONING. UM WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR 10 YEARS WERE ONE OF THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE AGRICULTURE.
THERE WE HAVE HORSES. WE HAVE A SHEEP FARM. EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE WITH COUNTRY LIVING.
THAT'S WHY WE MOVED THERE. THAT'S WHY WE'VE SAVED OUR ENTIRE LIVES AND THAT KIND OF A SETTING. UM, I'M STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT REZONING. FOR THIS CASE HERE ARE THE REASONS SCHOOLING THE CITY OF MELISSA HAS DEFICIENT BEEN DEFICIENT IN ELEMENTARY LEVEL EDUCATION FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. WITH REGARD TO FACILITIES . THE BUILDING OF WILLOW WOOD HAS ONLY MET THE CURRENT NEEDS OF WILLARD WOULD COMMUNITY AND RELIEVE SOME OF THE STRAIN PLACED ON HERE. MACKILLOP IN NORTH KOREA ELEMENTARIES WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE FINAL PHASE OF WILLOW WOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS AGAIN GOING TO BE AT MAX CAPACITY. UM, WITH THE ADDITION OF THE PROPOSED THE CURRENT RATE, FOR ESTIMATION OF SCHOOLS IS 0.7 PER FAMILY. AH AND THIS IS BASED ON SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN WITH A PROPOSED 500 UNIT, MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
THIS WOULD REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. BE BUILT. THIS IS PRETTY OBVIOUS CURRENTLY . WE KNOW THAT'S NOT IN THE PLANNING OR NOT NOT BEEN INITIATED YET, RIGHT SO ALREADY BEHIND THE CURVE WITH THAT. THE EXISTING ROADS AS WE KNOW THEY'RE NOT BUILT FOR THIS TYPE PLANNING. HIGH DENSITY THERE. TURN SHIP TO LINE DOES SHOULDER YOU'VE HEARD THIS TYPICAL OF COUNTRY ROADS. SPEED LIMITS ARE APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. NONE OF THE SUPPORTS HIGH DENSITY EXPANSION, RIGHT. COMMUNITY THE HOMES SURROUNDING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CAN PRIMARILY BE CATEGORIZED AGRICULTURE AND COUNTRY ESTATES. WE'VE HEARD THIS. MANY OF THE CURRENT RESIDENTS HAVE LIVED IN THEIR HOMES FOR THE MAJORITY OF THEIR LIVES. EFFORTS OF 40 YEARS MANY OF THOSE ARE PLANNING TO PASS THESE PROPERTIES DOWN TO THEIR CHILDREN. THE PROPOSED MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT LENDS ITSELF TO HIGHER TURNOVER. RESIDENTS WITH LESS CONCERN FOR FUTURE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, SIR. POSE MONICA SPALDING. VIDEO BEING RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. I'M AS YOU
[01:20:10]
HEARD MY HUSBAND WAS UP HERE AND I LIVE IN THE SAME RESIDENT AS HE DOES 23 YEARS NOW. UM JUST TO GO ON RECORD. WE ARE OPPOSITION, SO OUR PROPERTY LITERALLY BACKS MAJORITY OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE 37 ACRES THAT'S GOING UP FOR A MULTI ZONING. I MANAGER MANAGED THE REGISTRY FOR THE PAINTED DESERT CHEAP SOCIETY. MY LIVELIHOOD IS MY SHEEP RAISED BIGHORN SHEEP FOR HUNTING RANCHES ALL OVER THE STATE, TEXAS ALL OVER THE US UM, BY PUTTING A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENT BACK IN THERE. NOT ONLY ARE YOU AFFECTING MY LIVELIHOOD, BUT YOU'RE ALSO DOING A DISSERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THE SCHOOL OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE HEARD EVEN THOUGH THIS IS MCKINNEY E. T. J RIGHT. TJ OUR SCHOOL IS THE. THE DISTRICT IS UNDERNEATH. MELISSA IS DEAD. THEY ARE NOT EQUIPPED EITHER FINANCIALLY, OR, UM, STRUCTURALLY TO HANDLE THE INCOMING OF A MULTI PROBLEM, MULTI FAMILY HOUSING. THE REASON WHY I BRING THAT UP IS BECAUSE.THE RESPONSIBILITY TO YOUR CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY IS ALSO TO PROVIDE A PROPER SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILDREN COMING IN, STATISTICALLY, 63% OF THE KIDS COMING IN OR GOING TO BE SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN THAT ARE FALLING INTO THE CST. OUR SCHOOL IS ALREADY AT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO.
IT ONLY ACCOMMODATES 500 KIDS OF SYSTEM NERVOUS. IT WASN'T ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN COLLEGE.
IT WAS. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE NERVOUS, RECOGNIZE. THOUGHT I CAN DO THIS? I THOUGHT SPEAK ALL THE TIME, BUT IT'S USUALLY ABOUT ANIMALS. UM, SO YOUR SCHOOL CAN HANDLE ABOUT 500 KIDS. 352 ALREADY ATTEND. BESIDES IT WILL OR WOULD WE ARE , THEY'RE DOING A 2ND AND 3RD PHASING OF THE FULL OF WOOD SUBDIVISION RIGHT, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS SECRETARIAL COURSE PROPERTY. THEY'RE THEY'RE ALREADY WAY ABOVE THE STATISTICS OF WHEN THEY ARE THE NUMBERS THAT THEY HAD THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN THEY CAME IN. UM THERE IS NO WAY THAT SCHOOL CAN HANDLE IT.
THAT'S NO WAY THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN HANDLE THAT AMOUNT OF KIDS COMING IN AT 63% OF KIDS. THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR CITIZENS IS TO PROVIDE THAT EDUCATION. OKAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, CHARLES MARTIN. MY NAME IS CHARLES MARTIN. I LIVED 15 75 COUNTY ROAD. 339. MELISSA, TEXAS. AND. I'M AN OPPOSITION OF THE ZONING PROPOSAL. BUT FOR A DIFFERENT REASON. PUT YOURSELF IN THE PLACE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE DUMPED INTO THAT APARTMENT WOULD KNOW FACILITIES SHOPPING ANYWHERE TO GO OPPORTUNITY FOR QUALITY OF LIFE. THAT DAY. AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THIS ARE THESE INVESTORS. DO THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY? DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY? AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO JUST DUMP INTO THIS APARTMENT. THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU'RE DOING THEM A DISSERVICE. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT THIS BUILDING WILL DO TO THE AREA. COMMUNITIES GROW. THAT'S FINE. ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE AND OPPORTUNITIES. WHAT KIND OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND OPPORTUNITY WELL, THESE PEOPLE HAVE THERE'S NOTHING FOR THEM. BUILD OUT THE AREA. THEN PROPOSE. BUT RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE PUTTING THEM IN A VERY ISOLATED LOCATION. NO RESOURCES. NO SHOPPING, NO FOOD, NO JOBS. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FOR THEM? I DON'T THANK YOU. COREY MARTIN. OKAY I'M COREY MARTIN. I LIVE IN 15 75, CANADA . 3 39. I ALSO OPPOSE THIS, UM. AND FOR ALL THE REASONS, EVERYBODY SAID, INCLUDING MY HUSBAND, I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER BEEN OUT IN THAT AREA. IT'S PASTURE LAND LIKE THEY SAID. THERE'S COWS OR HORSES, TRACTORS. MY DAUGHTER USED TO GET TO RIDE THE TRACTOR TO SONIC THAT WAS UP AROUND THE CORNER. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DO THAT. WE CAN'T RIDE HORSES ON THE LAND ANYMORE. IT'S NOT SAFE. PLEASE SINCE THIS HAS BEEN TABLED, AND YOU HAVE TIME TO TAKE A DRIVE OUT THERE. GO SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS. YOU CAN LOOK AT PICTURES AND IT WON'T SHOW YOU THE SAME THING AS GOING OUT THERE AND SEEING WHAT IT IS NOW AND ALSO TO SEE THERE IS NOTHING TO OFFER. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT ON BOTH SIDES. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT CHANGES THINGS, BUT. LIKE MY HUSBAND SAID THE CLOSEST PLACE IS A RACETRACK. THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL THEY COULD
[01:25:03]
WALK TO IF THEY WANT TO WALK ACROSS THAT HIGHWAY TO DEATH TRAP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.PETER LINK. FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS MEMBERS. MY NAME IS PETER LINKE. I LIVE AT 1990 SUNSET TRAIL.
WE'VE LIVED THERE FOR UM, THREE YEARS NOW AND. I HAVE TO SAY WE ARE GENERALLY VERY PRO DEVELOPMENT. IN FACT, OUR BUSINESS IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS PARTICULAR REZONING, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF THE MULTI FAMILY AND AS OTHERS HAVE STATED QUITE ELOQUENTLY. I THINK THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT NOT ONLY ARE THERE. IS THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY A LITTLE BIT OVERBURDENED IF YOU UM, GO ON HIGHWAY 1, 21 OR EVEN FANNIN WROTE DURING RUSH HOUR. IT'S ONE CAR AFTER THE NEXT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE THERE AND HIGH AS A PERSON WHO HAS LIVED MULTI FAMILY. MOST OF MY LIFE UP UNTIL THE LAST 10 YEARS. YOU NEED SHOPPING. YOU NEED RESOURCES. YOU NEED PLACES TO GO. YOU NEED SOMETHING TO DO. AND I THINK THE. THE PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 300 UNITS WITH 600 PEOPLE IN IT. THAT WILL HAVE NO SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE WHATSOEVER. SO AGAIN. I'M OPPOSED TO THE THAT PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT BUT MULTI FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL WOULD BE GREAT TOM THUMB WOULD BE EXCELLENT. UM BUT THAT'S THAT'S IT FOR NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. AND IN RUSSELL CRANE. UM READ DAHLAN'S VILLAINS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RED DAHLAN'S I'M AT 706 WOOD DUCK LANE AND MCKENNEY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED IN MCKINNEY FOR 13 YEARS. HONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS. HONORABLE MAYOR. I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO HAVE THE CIVIL DISCOURSE. IT'S THE CORNERSTONE OF DEMOCRACY. MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER. UM YOU'LL HEAR A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE YOU KNOW THE INAPPROPRIATENESS OF THE MULTI FAMILY. I WON'T REHASH THEM. I DO AGREE WITH THEM. I'LL SAY THAT I AM A LICENSED CIVIL ENGINEER IN THE STATES OF TEXAS AND GEORGIA, ALSO CERTIFIED AS A PROFESSIONAL TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ENGINEER. SO HOW MUCH TRAFFIC ENGINEER. SO MY COMMENT IS THAT I LIKE TO SEE A PLAN BEFORE I ENGAGE IN A PROJECT. I KNOW MAYOR FULLER TO SEE A PLAN BEFORE HE COMMITS TO A PROJECT. SO I THINK WE PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE JUST A LITTLE BIT IF WE APPROVE THIS ZONING, WHICH NOT ONLY PROVIDES FOR MULTI FAMILY, BUT 25% MORE INTENSE, MULTIFAMILY. THEN IS ALLOWED BY THE BASES OWNING OF MF THREE. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE IMPACT. I THINK YOU KNOW, ABSOLUTELY BENEFIT OF A SITE PLAN. YOU'RE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS. WE'RE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE JUST A LITTLE BIT TO SAY THAT THIS DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER DEVELOPERS SUBSEQUENT TO THEM CAN COME IN AND DEVELOP 25 UNITS PER ACRE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE IMPACT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO ANALYZE THAT SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE TRUE IMPACT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING BY SHOE HORNING MULTIFAMILY PLUS 25. BETWEEN HIGHWAY FIVE AND I'LL PASTURE. THANK YOU. THANKS, SIR. RIGHT. I DO NOT SHOW ANY OTHER SPEAKERS.
YOU CHANGE. YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK YESTERDAY. CAN YES. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FILL OUT A CARD. IF YOU WOULD AFTER THE FACT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ASHLEY. DANIEL. I LIVE AT 616 FANNIN ROAD. I HAVE PREDOMINANTLY BEEN A SINGLE MOM . MY WHOLE LIFE. I HAVE THREE BOYS. I'VE LIVED IN APARTMENTS. KIDS WANT TO GET OUT. WANT TO GO PLAY? THERE IS. THE NEAREST GROCERY STORE IS 5.3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. THE CLOSEST INTERACT SECTION. THERE'S ACCIDENTS, THEIR WEEKLY, UM, IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS THAT I'VE LIVED THERE. MY KIDS HAVE BEEN ZONED TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL EVERY SINGLE YEAR WITHOUT ME, EVEN MOVING SO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NOT SET UP. NEITHER IS THE POWER GRID. WE ARE NOT ON ANY TYPE OF EMERGENCY SYSTEM LAST YEAR, IT'S SNOWMAGEDDON. WE HAD NO POWER FOR SIX DAYS. WE SURVIVED BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO COOK ON A FIREPLACE. THIS YEAR, WE HAD NO POWER FROM 48 HOURS LIKE OUR POWER GRID GOES OUT THERE WHEN
[01:30:06]
THE WIND BLOWS TOO HARD. THERE'S TREES AND POWER LINES. IT'S PASTURE. IT'S NOT MAINTAINED. SO THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE LIVING IN THIS APARTMENT REALLY WOULDN'T HAVE HEAT. THEY WOULDN'T HAVE AN AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. THE KIDS WOULDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO. THAT INTERSECTION HAS ACCIDENTS WEEKLY AND EVEN THE CLOSEST GROCERIES IS SIX MILES ROUNDED AWAY. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. YES, ONE MORE. THEY ARE. MY NAME IS BROOKE CHARACTER. AND UNLIKE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM TONIGHT, MY FAMILY IS NEW TO THE AREA. WE ACTUALLYUSLT HERE AT EL DORADO, AND, UM, HARDEN, AND WE RECENTLY MOVED TO THE WILLOW WOOD DISTRICT AND OUR YOUNGEST CHILD IS 1/5 GRADER AT WILLOW WOOD. AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY AND THE WAY THAT EVERYONE'S EMBRACED US AND UM IT WERE RIGHT THERE WITH THE OTHER ECHOING AT THE COMMENTS OF THE LOVE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND MAKING THE COMMUNITIES STRONGER. THE SCHOOL SYSTEM STRONGER. UM MY BIGGEST RESERVATION IN THIS HAS BEEN WHAT IT WOULD DO TO THE SCHOOLS, WHICH WOULD BE MELISSA HIGHEST. OUR YOUNGEST IS AT WILLOW WOOD, BUT WE ALSO HAVE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AND HIGH SCHOOLERS. SHE KEEPS ON WAVING BY THE WAY EVERY TIME WE'RE NOT ANSWERING IT, WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT LAUGHING AT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SHE'S DANCING BEHIND YOUR BACK.WOULD ATTENDEE OKAY? FRIENDS THERE ARE ONE OF MY DAUGHTER, SEVENTH GRADER AND WE ALSO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT. SO THE KIDS START WITH THE MULTI FAMILY UNIT COMING IN IS THAT THE ENTIRE DISTRICT WOULD BE PUT TO CAPACITY AND BEYOND. AND UM, SO I THINK ABOUT THE TEACHERS, THE STUDENTS THE PARENTS THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THAT. AND THE OTHER POINT THAT SEVERAL HAVE MADE ABOUT THERE NOT BEING A GROCERY STORE AND THE COMMUNITY WHICH MOVING FROM RIGHT HERE IN MAKENI. WE HAVE FOUND IT TO BE KIND OF SWEET THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN HAVE PIZZA DELIVERED TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT'S KIND OF FUN FOR US RIGHT NOW. BUT AS THE COMMUNITY GROWS, THOSE CONVENIENCES WILL BE THERE. BUT THEY ARE NOT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THE MULTI FAMILY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. YES MY NAME IS EUGENE HANGING OVER THE THIRD RESIDING IN 17 94 SUNSET TRAIL. AND IN ADDITION TO BEING OPPOSED FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT HAVE BEEN STATED AS WELL, I'D LIKE TO BRING THE SIMPLE QUESTION OF WATER PROVISION AS WELL FOR THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX WERE ON COLLIN COUNTY CO OP WATER. AND AS IT STANDS NOW, OR WATER PRESSURE RISES AND FALLS DAY BY DAY BY THE TIME OF DAY AND WHAT WOULD A HIGH DENSITY APARTMENT COMPLEX DUE TO THAT? ONE ASPECT ALONE IN ADDITION TO THE MHM. CAN'T BE UNDERSTATED TRAFFIC SITUATION AND ROAD CONDITIONS. IT'S SIMPLY NOT SUITABLE FOR HIGH DENSITY FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, TOO. HAVE THIS THIS ROAD ACCESS, MANY OF WHICH WOULD LIKELY GO TO THE WILL WORK SCHOOL. PERHAPS MANY TRYING TO WALK A VERY DANGEROUS PATH THAT WOULD BE QUITE AN UNDERTAKING TO RESOLVE. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE? IF NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING SECOND ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. SO I WANTED TO MAKE JUST A FEW COMMENTS. IT'S BEEN STATED JUST POINT OF CLARIFICATION. SOME HAVE STATED THAT IT'S IN THE COM PLANT FOR RESIDENTIAL SOME COMMERCIAL IT IS AND IT'S ON OUR COM PLANT FOR COMMERCIAL UM. YOU KNOW A COUPLE OF YEARS A COUPLE LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS AGO, SP SIX WAS PASSED. SP SIX TOOK AWAY THE ABILITY FOR A CITY TO ANNEX IN VOLUNTARILY OR YOU HAVE TO. NOW YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY VOLUNTARILY ANNEX. UM THERE'S DEVELOPMENTS. I WOULD TELL YOU IN MCKINNEY. THERE'S ONE DONE CALLED, UM, MANSIONS OF PROSPER, THOUGH IT'S IN MCKINNEY. IT'S 1000 SMALL RENT HOMES THERE ON SEPTIC. HAD WE HAD THE ABILITY TO GO IN AND ANNEX. WE WOULD HAVE ANNEXED THAT PROPERTY SO WE COULD HAVE CONTROLLED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUILD 1000 HOMES AND FASHION. THEY DID NOT BE ON SEPTIC. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT ABILITY. AND I THINK WHAT? WHAT MANY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IN THIS ROOM IS THAT ONE OF THE DECISIONS THAT WE WILL BE MAKING WHEN THIS ITEM IS HEARD. IS IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT BLACK AND WHITE AS
[01:35:04]
FAR AS IF WE DON'T APPROVE IT. IT DOESN'T GET BUILT. IF WE APPROVE IT GETS BUILT A DECISION . ONE OF THE FACTORS OF THE DECISION WILL BE IF WE DON'T IF WE DON'T ANNEX WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL. WE CAN'T WE CAN'T ENFORCE MANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED TONIGHT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD IN THE DJ. WITHOUT ANY OF THE CITY REGULATIONS, REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WOULD THAT WE WOULD IMPOSE. SO JUST LIKE MANSIONS OF PROSPER, YOU KNOW, I WOULD I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND FURTHER EDUCATE OUR LEGISLATORS TO NOT, UM, TO NOT PASS THAT LEGISLATION. CERTAINLY WITHOUT PROVISION THAT WOULD. TAKE CARE OR AT LEAST HELP US. UM YOU KNOW, MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS THAT WE NOW ARE FACED WITH IN THE CITY HAS FACED WITH WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT, UM SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE WILL BE WHAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING. IT'S SO MUCH POWER WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THE CITY BACK IN THAT LEGISLATIVE SESSION. SO YOU KNOW THAT? NO, THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FACED WITH. WE'RE FACED WITH IF WE DO NOT ANNEX. AND THEY GO AHEAD AND BUILD IN THE COUNTY. THEY WILL BUILD TO A STANDARD THAT WE MAY NOT ALL BE HAPPY WITH. THEY MAY BE LIKE MANSION OF THE PROSPER AND SEPTIC AND ALL THE OTHER CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED TONIGHT, UM, WATER PRESSURE AND ANGRY CIGARETTES AND WHETHER THAT TRAFFIC COULD BE THE ROADS AND WHAT NOT GOING TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC ALL THOSE THINGS IN THE CITY FOR ANNEX WHEN THEY CAME IN WITH THE SITE PLANT. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE ANALYZING. ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAVE TO BE MET, AND THEY CAN'T BUILD IF THEY'RE NOT MET IF THEY DON'T MEET OUR STANDARDS. THAT DOES NOT EXIST. WHEN THEY BUILD IN THE T. J. DOESN'T EXIST. UM WE HAD A COUNTY COMMISSIONER THAT WAS GOING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. I WAS VERY CURIOUS TO HEAR WHAT HE WOULD SAY, BECAUSE WHAT HE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE SAID, IS THAT IF IT REMAINS IN THE T J.IT DOES NOT COME BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO MAKE A DECISION. IF IT'S ALLOWED OR NOT, THEY WOULD JUST GO AND PULL APARTMENT. SO I WAS CURIOUS TO HEAR WHAT THOSE COMMENTS MAY HAVE BEEN MAY HAVE BEEN TO SAY THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO IT. BUT I WOULD HAVE HOPED AND I HOLD OUT HOPE THAT HE WOULD EXPRESS THAT THERE IS A SECOND SENTENCE THAT HE SHOULD GIVE. AND THAT IS THAT THE COUNTY WOULD NOT HAVE A SAY IN WHETHER THAT WAS BUILT EITHER. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. NO, SIR. NO, NO, THAT'S NOT THE FORM UNFORTUNATELY. I'LL JUST SAY SOMETHING. PLEASE EMAIL ME. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE. EMAIL I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. WE WE'VE BEEN THROUGH. A LOT OF THESE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP AND DISCUSSED THEIR DISPLEASURE AND STUFF LIKE THAT YELL HAVE BEEN THE KINDEST, MOST GENERALISTS. WE WERE, SO IT WAS . IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HEAR FROM YOU. AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED. I APPRECIATE YOUR, UM JUST EVERYBODY HAD THOUGHTFUL COMMENTS AND RESPECT, VERY RESPECTFUL. AND SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND IT MAKES US LISTEN . WANT TO DO MORE FOR YOU? IT MAKES US WANT TO HELP YOU BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GETTING YELLED AT FOR REASONS THAT WE DON'T HAVE. WE CAN'T CONTROL SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. AT LEAST I DID.
YES, VERY MUCH SO. UM MR MAYOR HAVE ONE REMARK. I AM ENGAGED. MR DANIEL. I'VE COMMITTED TO MR DANIEL HERE TO COME OUT AND VISIT WITH HIM BEFORE THIS GOES ON THE AGENDA, BUT I THINK IT WAS YOU WHO SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO BE NOTIFIED. IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY THIS IS ME. THIS IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS. MR DANIEL HAS IT TOO. IF YOU EMAIL ME, I WILL NOTIFY YOU BEFORE THIS COMES ON.
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING DO WITH THE LAW OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT I DON'T WANT YOU NOT TO BE NOTIFIED. IS TO THIS COMING BACK ON THE AGENDA. THANK YOU, SWEETIE. GET NOTIFIED EITHER, AND WE HAVE ALL THAT ACREAGE. IF YOU EMAIL ME, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET NOTIFIED TO SAY PLEASE NOTIFY ME BEFORE THIS COMES ON THE AGENDA. I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE BIG STAKEHOLDERS IN HERE. YES MA'AM. SO THIS IS MY REMARK, MR MAYOR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS ITEM IN MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM. SO MOVED DEFINITELY SECOND. IF THE MOVIE'S CAST VOTES. OUR LAST ITEM 2 TO 0 TO 11. CONSIDER AND ACT ON A
[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Amending the City’s Policy for Board and Commission Member Appointments and Eligibility]
RESOLUTION. MANY OF THE CITY'S POLICY FOR BOARDING COMMISSION MEMBER APPOINTMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. EMPRESS HAD A RIVETING PRESENTATION. YOU'RE GOING TO MISS A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT. I WOULD STAY. THANK YOU. EMPRESS WE'RE ALL STILL[01:40:14]
HERE. THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT MAYOR AND COUNCIL AGAIN. THIS IS AN ITEM TO AMEND THE CURRENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. POLICY OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS POLICY PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS, AS WELL AS THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS AND PALS OF MEMBERS CAN GO ABOUT SERVING THE CITY. IT WAS LAST UPDATED AT AUGUST 2021. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNCIL TO DO AT HIS DISCRETION . THE MEMBERS THAT ARE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TODAY OR MAJOR LEAGUE TO REDUCE THE TERM LIMITS FROM THREE CONSECUTIVE TWO YEAR TERMS, WHICH WOULD TOTAL SIX CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF SERVICE DOWN TO TWO CONSECUTIVE TO YOUR TERMS, WHICH WOULD BE FOR YEARS OF CONSECUTIVE SERVICE. THE OTHER MODIFICATION IS TO MODIFY THE PROCESSES FOR THE INTERVIEW IN APPLICATION PROCESS THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE, AND WE JUST WANT TO GET THE TEXT OF THE POLICY UP TO DATE. THIS AMENDMENT IS CAN BE APPROVED BY YOU AT YOUR DISCRETION, OR WITH ANY MODIFICATIONS THAT YOU DISCUSS AND PRESENT TODAY WHEN L STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. MISSIONS QUESTION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, ANDERS. IN PRECLEARANCE QUESTION. SORRY YOU ALMOST GOTTA HAVE HERE. UH THERE'S NOTHING THAT WOULD PRECLUDE US FROM EXTENDING SOMEBODY'S TERM. IF THAT IF WE FELT. INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL WAS NECESSARY FOR A BOARD. I WILL LET, UH. YEAH IT'S JUST IT'S JUST A WOULD SAY NO, IT'S JUST A POLICY. BUT YOU HAVE DISCRETION TO OPERATE AS YOU WISH. BECAUSE I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE MR KELLY'S COMMENTS, AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ABSOLUTELY WILL WARRANT THAT. I'LL START. I THINK THAT. OH I MEAN, IF WE IF WE ENFORCE THE FOUR YEARS JUST RIGHT OFF THE WAY WE'D LOSE PROBABLY 60% OF THE BOARDS AND I HAVE A KIND OF HAVE A CONCERN WITH THAT. I THINK THAT OF MAYBE WE START WITH. THE FOUR YEARS BASICALLY LAST YEAR WHEN EVERYBODY EVERYBODY WAS FIRST PUT ON THE BOARD, AND WE JUST GO FORTH FOUR YEARS FORWARD FROM THEM AND LET YOU KNOW SOMEBODY'S IN THERE LAST YEAR, THEY CAN THEIR SIXTH YEAR THEN THEY CAN FINISH OUT THEIR SIXTH YEAR. AND THEN BE DONE BECAUSE I THINK THAT EVEN WITH THAT WHAT I CALCULATE IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A THIRD. PEOPLE GOING OFF THIS YEAR ANYWAY. AND AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, DOING THREE YEARS ON THE MONEY BOARD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I ALWAYS FIND THAT FASCINATING.OH, IT TAKES SO MUCH TO GET AHEAD AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WE GET FOUR YEARS UP HERE. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT EVERY OTHER THINGS AND WE GET FOUR YEARS TO FIGURE THINGS OUT. I THINK FOUR YEARS IS PLENTY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT. AND I DON'T THINK THAT YOU KNOW? THAT THE THREE NEW ONES ON THE COUNCIL DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY'RE I THINK THEY'RE CAUGHT UP PRETTY WELL IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS THAT THEY'VE THEY'VE BEEN HERE, SO I THINK THAT FOUR YEARS IS PLENTY . THAT'S WHAT WE GET, SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH LEAVING IT AT FOUR. A FEW REMARKS. WE DON'T NECESSARILY GET FOUR. WE GET UP TO EIGHT, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY GET TOO AND THEY COULD GET ANOTHER TWO AND THEY COULD GET ANOTHER TWO SO THEY COULD GET SIX. BUT THEY GET TO NO, BUT THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE GETTING THAT IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU DON'T REALLY GET TO KNOW ANYTHING BEFORE YOU KNOW THAT FIRST YEAR IN HIS HEART AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND I CALL BALONEY TO THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE UP HERE AND YOU GET CAUGHT UP PRETTY QUICK. IF YOU WANT TO BE.
I DON'T DISAGREE. YOU CAN GET CAUGHT UP QUICK. BUT I DO AGREE WITH MR KELLY'S COMMENT THAT HAVING THE INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL ON THE BOARD FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE. IS A GOOD THING, ESPECIALLY ON AND I'VE SERVED ON TWO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS HAVE SERVED ON THE PDC. I SERVED ON THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS. THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS WAS A VACUUM OF KNOWLEDGE ON THERE. AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT GET ADDRESSED, BUT I WAS THINKING, YOU KNOW. IN MY THREE YEARS ON A D. C IN THREE YEARS, THERE WERE FIVE PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTARILY LEFT BEFORE THE END OF THEIR SIX YEAR SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE IS WE'RE DISCOUNTING THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF THOSE THREE OR FOUR YEAR PEOPLE MIGHT LEAVE WHICH THEY DID FIVE OF THEM DID IN MY THREE YEARS ON ABC. AND THEN HAVING TO STILL BRING IN THOSE ROOKIES. SO
[01:45:04]
UM. I LIKE THE WAY WE HAVE IT. I KNOW I'M THE NEW GUY, AND I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED ANY OF THE YOU KNOW, DRAMA AND THE STUFF THAT CANDOR CARNAGE THAT COMES WITH THE NAMING OF THESE BOARDS, BUT RELUCTANT TO HANDCUFF THE CITY. IN DOING ANYTHING, BUT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CITY NOW? AN ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE THAT WELL. SHOULD WE EXTEND IT? NO I'M HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT IS, UM IMPLIED. ALSO BE HAPPY WITH. IT'S OPTIONAL FIFTH YEAR A ONE YEAR TERM AFTER YOU'VE DONE YOUR TWO YEARS I DON'T WANT OVERCOMPLICATED. I WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THIS. BUT, UM YOU KNOW, AGAIN IN MY EXPERIENCE OF THREE YEARS ON ABC, FIVE PEOPLE LEFT IN ROUGHLY THE THIRD YEAR.TWO OF THEM ARE ON THE STAIS. AND WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE BULLPEN THAT'S VERY CAPABLE OF COMING IN THERE AND PICKING UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF. SO I DON'T FEEL IT'S LIKE IT'S A LOSS. IS JUST NEW BLOOD. THAT'S WHAT WE USE ITS NEW BLOOD. BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE TAKING THE FIVE AND SIX YEAR PEOPLE OFTEN WHEN WE'RE GETTING THAT NEW BLOOD, AND, UM I HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH THIS. HOW HAD ANOTHER LAYER TO IT? BECAUSE MY MOTIVATIONS ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THIS AND THAT'S HOW EFFECTIVE WE ARE. WE CAN BE IN THIS AND I KNOW I'M IN A UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE MY PREDECESSORS PREDECESSORS PREDECESSOR HAS A LARGER IMPACT ON SELECTING FIRST TIME BOARD MEMBERS TO OUR CURRENT BOARD ROSTER. THAN I DO. AND I DON'T WANT THE PERSON TO COME AFTER ME TO HAVE TO WAIT THREE YEARS UNTIL MY EFFECTIVENESS IS HAS GONE AWAY.
I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE EFFECTIVE. FOR THEIR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO BE ELECTED. IN AN EFFORT TO ADDRESS A CHANGING CITY THAT'S EVOLVING . AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT LAG THAT COMES WITH A SIX YEAR TERM. NECESSARILY HELPS US AND I THINK THAT THE POLICY ALLOWS US SOME FLEXIBILITY IF THERE IS REASON FOR THAT TALL IF THERE IS A REASON THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY HELP US, SO I THINK THAT THE FOUR YEAR PUTS MORE POWER IN THE ELECTED OFFICIALS HANDS TO MAKE CHANGE. AND THEY'RE THEN ULTIMATELY, THEY CAN USE THAT POWER TO RETAIN THAT KNOWLEDGE. IF THAT'S WHAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT, SO YOU KNOW FOR ME? I'VE BEEN I HAVEN'T YOU KNOW, DIET ON EITHER HILL. BECAUSE I FOR ME, THIS IS IT'S A POLICY, BUT I AM A WHOLE LIFE AND WILL CONTINUE THE REST OF MY LIFE. ALWAYS LOOK ON. EVERYTHING LOOKED AT EVERYTHING ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS POLICY IS GREAT. IT'S THERE FOR GUIDANCE AND WHATNOT. BUT IF WE HAD IF IT WAS SIX YEARS 32 YEAR TERMS IF I FEEL THERE IS BETTER TALENT AND BETTER CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE HAD BY SOMEBODY ELSE ON THAT BOARD. UM I'M NOT GOING TO APPOINT HIM FOR A THIRD TERM. REMEMBER THIS ISN'T THIS ISN'T THREE OR TWO, EITHER. WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT NONE OF THIS IS THEY'RE ENTITLED TO TWO YEARS TO TWO YEAR TERMS OR ENTITLED TO 32 YEAR TERMS. THIS IS STILL GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT. SO FOR ME, I'M GOING TO BE ARGUING AGAINST SOMEBODY AFTER YEAR ONE. IF I THINK THEY'RE NOT PROFESSIONAL, THE BOARD WOULD BE ARGUING FOR SOMEBODY. IF THEY'RE GOING INTO YEAR FIVE AND THEIR HECK OF AN ASSET ON THE BOARD.
SO FOR ME, I COULD REALLY CARE LESS. IT COULD BE 32 YEAR TO FOUR YEARS. I'M STILL GOING TO ADVOCATE FOR WHAT I THINK IS THE BEST ON THE CASE BY CASE BASIS WHEN WE'RE WHEN WE'RE AT THAT JUNCTURE. AND IF WE'RE ON A BOARD WHERE THREE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT, THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S GOING TO WEIGH IN ON MY DECISION . IF WE'RE THERE WITH PEOPLE WHOLE BOARD THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS THAT AWAY ON MY DECISION, BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, CASE BY CASE FOR ME, WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CITY? WHAT'S WHO IS APPLYING THAT WE'VE HAD GREAT PEOPLE APPLY LATELY? THAT MAY CHANGE NEXT TIME, MIKE DOUBLE IT MIGHT QUADRUPLE. UM SO I THINK WE'RE FOR ME HAVING A WHOLE LOT OF DIALOGUE ABOUT POLICY. THAT IS WOULD BE RELEVANT TO ME. IF WE WERE SAYING THAT IF YOU'RE ELECTED, YOU WILL WILL SERVE 32 YEAR TERMS OR YOU WILL SERVE TWO YEAR TERMS. YOU'RE GOING TO SERVE AS MANY TERMS AS YOU'RE POINTING TO BUY THE COUNCIL PERIOD. PERIOD. SO WHY THERE'S MORE EFFECTIVE PEOPLE BEING EFFECTIVE, YOU KNOW, FROM JUSTIN'S PROCESSES PREDECESSOR BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE COUNCIL APPOINTED THEM BUT THAT CAN CHANGE ON A DIME AND THAT'S THE AUTHORITY AND THE POWER THAT WE HAVE IS APPOINTING THOSE SPORTS. SO FOR ME, IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF DIALOGUE ABOUT A WHOLE LOT OF, YOU KNOW. NOT GOING TO IMPACT MY DECISION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AS WE LOOK AT THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WHEN THEY COME TO MR BURGER QUESTION, THOUGH, IN WITH RESPECT TO MR KELLY, I'M GOING TO PICK ON USING EXAMPLE. BUT IF WE DID MOVE THIS THING TO SOMETHING LIKE 22 YEAR TERMS, AND WE FELT LIKE MR KELLY WAS AN ASSET. AND HE HAD AN APPETITE TO
[01:50:03]
APPLY FOR A THIRD TWO YEAR TERM . BUT OUR POLICY IS THAT YOU ONLY SERVE TO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IS TO US RECRUITING HIM TO APPLY FOR THAT, BECAUSE CURRENTLY HE KNOWS HE CAN APPLY FOR IT. BUT UNDER THIS POLICY, I WOULD EXPECT HE OR ANYONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE A LOT OF RELUCTANCE.WHEN I SERVED ON CDC, IT WAS 22 YEAR TERMS. COMING TO THE END OF THE MY FOURTH YEAR, I WAS ASKED . I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF APEX IN THE MIDDLE OF AND I WAS ASKED BY BY THE COUNCIL TO SERVE 1/5 YEAR AND SEE THOSE THROUGH. UM AND I SERVED 1/5 YEAR AS CHAIRMAN. SO I MEAN AGAIN, IT WAS IT'S WE APPOINT AND WITH ITS ALMOST IF WE'RE DEBATING WHETHER THERE'S SOME GUARANTEED THREE TERMS OR GUARANTEED TO, I'M NOT. I'M NOT TO BEING GUARANTEE ANYTHING. I GET IT WHEN I CAME UP HERE LAST SUMMER TO ASK FOR MY TERM. MY SECOND FULL TERM. I KNEW THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO BE TOLD NO, AND I WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE. BUT IT IS , THOUGH A POLICY THAT WE'RE DOING. IT IS A MY ESTIMATION, A HANDCUFFING THE CITY POLICY WERE HANDCUFFING THE COUNCIL TO SAY THIS IS OUR NORMAL PATH. I AM WITH YOU. BE HAPPY. TO INVITE WHOEVER ON THAT AND BE AGGRESSIVE ON THAT, BUT, UM I GUESS I'M DYING ON THIS HILL. BUT I YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT IT'S JUST SAYING THAT IT'S NOT HANDCUFFING. THAT'S WHAT IT'S YEAH. I MEAN TO ME TO ME. WE COULD EASILY ANOTHER ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE. WHY DO WE HAVE ANY TERM LIMITS? IF YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB AND YOU'RE AN ASSET AND THERE'S NOT PEOPLE ON THE BULLPEN IN THE BULLPEN. WE FEEL BETTER THAN YOU. THEN YOU'RE GOING TO STAY ON THERE AND YOU MIGHT BE THERE FOR 45 YEARS. OR YOU MAY BE THERE FOR SIX MONTHS . IF YOU'RE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB, THAT'S WHAT I SO FOR ME THE WHOLE IDEA OF THESE TERMS. DO A GOOD JOB. YOU'RE GOING TO BE APPOINTED. DON'T DO A GOOD JOB.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE APPOINTED AND IF WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA, AND THERE'S DEALS THAT ARE IN FLUX IN AND WOULD TAKE PEOPLE GET UP TO SPEED. THERE'LL BE A NUMBER OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ARGUING FOR IT SO I'M NOT. THIS IS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT TO ME IS NOT THE IMPORTANT DISCUSSION. THE IMPORTANT DISCUSSION IS WHEN IT'S TIME. WHO'S ON THE BOARD.
ARE THEY THE BEST TO BE ON THAT BOARD AT THE TIME? PERIOD. FOR ME. WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE DONE THAT CONSISTENTLY. OVER THIS PROCESS WOULD BE EXTENDED PEOPLE SOMEBODY MIGHT UNDERSTAND ON IT.
RECOGNIZE THAT. I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR ME. SO I'M I'M GONNA I'M NOT GONNA DIE ON EITHER. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. I THINK THAT AGAIN. I WOULD ACTUALLY BE IN FAVOR OF WHAT I JUST SAID.
BUT I MEAN, WE COULD GO SIX YEAR TERMS AND DO THE OTHER THING. WE'RE IF WE DON'T LIKE SOMEBODY WOULD TAKE THEM OFF AND FOUR. I MEAN, IT'S THAT DOESN'T DOESN'T NOT REALITY. THAT'S NOT REALLY.
BUT IF WE'RE HERE EVERY TWO YEARS ALL IT TAKES IS WHAT'S CALLED COURAGE FOR PEOPLE TO STAND UP ON THE COUNCIL AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? GUYS I KNOW YOU'RE ENTITLED TO IT. WE COULD'VE POINTED TO ANOTHER TERM OR IN DEFINITE NUMBER TERMS. WE SO CHOOSE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE JUST NOT NOT THE BEST. PERSON FOR THAT POSITION RIGHT NOW. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. THAT'S RARELY RARELY HAPPENS. I'M JUST TELLING YOU, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS THAT RARELY RARELY HAPPENS. I KNOW. SO NOW WHAT WAS SADLY, IF THAT'S CORRECT, I'M NOT DISAGREEING, THEN IT MEANS THAT WE'RE COMING UP WITH THE POLICY BECAUSE THERE'S A LACK OF COURAGE ON THE COUNCIL TO DO WHAT THEY THINK IS RIGHT. AND I HATE THAT THOUGHT ME. I'M GOING TO. I'M GOING TO WELL, I THINK WE'RE SETTING AN EXPECTATION YOU GIVE US FOUR GOOD YEARS. AND THAT'S AND THEN MOVE ON. I MEAN, THAT'S THE. BECAUSE WE HAVE TONS OF PEOPLE IN MCKINNEY QUALIFIED PEOPLE. WHEN WE TURN WE TURN AWAY. SOME OF THE BEST OF THE BEST IS TO THINK WE DON'T HAVE A SPOT FOR THIS LADY. YOU'RE THAT GUY, AND IT'S JUST LIKE THAT'S CRAZY. AS WE HAVE A REALLY, REALLY GOOD PEOPLE AND THEY WANT TO SERVE AND WE DON'T HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE HIM THE SERVICE BECAUSE WE DON'T EVER CHANGE. AND THEN WHAT WE DO IS WE TAKE THAT GUY FROM THIS BOARD , AND WE PUT THEM ON THAT BOARD, AND THAT AGAIN TAKES ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE CERTAINLY DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN THAT WAY.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENS. AND SO I JUST THINK THAT 24 YEAR TERMS GIVE EVERYBODY AN EXPECTATION AND THEN AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE GREAT, YEAH. FINE WITH THAT, TOO. LET'S HAVE NOT. BUT I THINK YOU KNOW JUSTIN POINTS IT OUT IS THE FACT THAT THREE COUNCILS AGO WAS WHEN YOU KNOW, SO HE SOMEBODY MAKE A MOTION MOVED TO APPROVE THIS. WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED MAKE A COMMENT. OKAY, THERE WE GO. I HAD ANNOUNCED TO THE MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM THAT I'D BE LEAVING THIS MINUTE MEETING EARLY, AND THEN I REALIZED THIS WAS OUR LAST ITEM OF DISCUSSION , AND I'VE STAYED OUT OF COURTESY TO COUNCILMAN ROGERS. BECAUSE A FEW WEEKS AGO WE DISCUSSED THIS MATTER. I WAS UNDER THE WEATHER FEELING QUITE ILL. AND IN FACT, IF DR FELT HIS HEAD AND TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO STAY, I WOULD HAVE LEFT BEFORE WE HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. DURING THAT DISCUSSION, COUNCILMAN
[01:55:01]
ROGERS ASKED ME IF I COULD LIVE WITH FOR YEARS AND UNTIL WE MIGHT COULD LIVE WITH FOUR YEARS . I'VE GIVEN THAT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND MY CONCERN IS THE CDC, THE DC AND THE PNC, PRIMARILY, I CERTAIN I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS THE DISCRETION TO KEEP SOMEONE ON LONGER. TAKE THEM OFF EARLIER, AND IT COULD BE DECIDED ON A CASE BACK CASE BASIS. HOWEVER IN REGARD TO THE CDC, THE PAIN Z. I THINK THAT TAKES SOME EXPERIENCE AND I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE THEORY OF EVERYBODY GETS A TROPHY. AND THAT WE PUT PEOPLE OFF OF BOARDS THAT REALLY REQUIRES SOME EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN MCKINNEY WANTS BEEN GOING ON IN MCKINNEY JUST SO SOMEBODY ELSE CAN HAVE A TERM. AND SO I WOULD NOT FAVOR ANY TERM LIMITS ON THE CDC, THE PDC AND PNC FOR THOSE REASONS, WHICH IS CONTRARY TO WHAT I REPRESENTED THE COUNCILMAN. ROGERS WHEN I MADE MY COMMENTS EARLIER, BUT I DO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE AT OUR DISCRETION. WOULD THERE BE A COMPROMISE TO HAVE THE 22 YEAR TERMS ON ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CDC, CDC, PNC AND BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS. COULD EVERYONE LIVE WITH SUPPORT THAT I THINK IT'S NO, I THINK THAT'S JUST DUMB WAY TO GO. IN REALLY THAT. I KEEP THINKING. WHAT DOES ALL THIS EXPERIENCE OF THIS NEED THOSE EXTRA TWO YEARS? CAN'T COMPANY TRYING TO WORK HIS TRUST THIS AFTER? BECAUSE I WAS I WAS ONLY ON NBC FOR TWO YEARS AND I WOULD TELL YOU BY THE END OF TWO YEARS, I WAS JUST FEELING VERY COMFORTABLE WITH ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE ON OUR ON OUR DOCKET. IT DOES TAKE A LOT OF EFFORT A LOT OF PREPARATION. A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE FOR THESE BOARDS. THE C D. C D. C I DO AGREE PNC. UM I THINK WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE THROUGH PROJECTS THAT ARE VERY LARGE PRODUCT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMING I THINK IT'S GREAT TO HAVE GOOD EXPERIENCE. I DO THINK WE HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AN UNBALANCED BOARD SYSTEM. DISTRICT ONE IS GROSSLY UNDERREPRESENTED, AND I THINK IF WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THESE BOARDS, THE TERM LIMITS THE WAY THEY ARE. WE HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY INTENTIONAL ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT JUSTIN HAS BROUGHT UP. SO I'M IN FAVOR OF KEEPING THOSE BOARDS JUST AS CHARLIE SAID THE WAY THEY ARE.BUT I THINK MOVING FORWARD WHICH IS SAID TO BE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE DIVERSITY, DIVERSE SUPPLY THE BOARDS AND ALSO LONG TO ADD THAT I'VE BEEN UP HERE FOR FIVE YEARS AND CERTAINLY HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT YET. OBVIOUSLY YOU JUST CAME UP WITH A SILLY SOLUTION SO WHERE DOES EVERYONE FALL ON? WHERE IS EVERYONE AT RIGHT NOW? I'M GOOD WITH THAT. I'M GOOD WITH THE PHILIPS FELT HIS PLAN. IF WE WANT TO VOTE ON THE ROGERS PLAN, I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THAT FIRST, BUT THAT'S THE PLAN. I'M GOOD WITH. LET'S GET CONSENSUS SO LOVED TO HAVE A CONSENSUS. SO I GUESS YOU YOU, YOU, YOU, JUSTIN, CAN YOU LIVE AT THAT? I THINK WHAT DR FELTUS IS SAYING IS RIGHT. YOU KNOW, MY SOLUTION TO THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND THIS IS KIND OF OPTION C FOR ME BECAUSE IT DOES CREATE THAT EFFECTIVENESS THAT I'M LOOKING FOR. IT DOES CREATE THAT REPRESENTATION AND THAT THIS DISTRICT LAX AND MY COMMUNITY LIKES AND SO I'M STILL WORKING FOR OPTION A THIS IS YOU KNOW WHAT COUNCILMAN ROGERS AND I AGREE ON. THIS IS OPTION C.
AND SO I'M I'M I GUESS I'M KIND OF HERE FLAPPING IN THE WIND, SO OH, AGAIN FOR ME IT IT'S NOT GONNA MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR ME WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WILL MOVE. IT MOVES IT FOR EVERYBODY. IT ALWAYS HAS. IT ALWAYS HAS. EVERYBODY SAYS OH, WE COULD GET RID OF HIM. YOU NEVER DO. WE NEVER DO. GET RID OF A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE. YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT IT. THE NEXT THING I HAVE A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW. I THINK THIS THIS COUNCIL IN PARTICULAR AND WE CAN'T SPEAK TO THE COUNCILS OF THE FUTURE. BUT I THINK THIS COUNCIL IS VERY MUCH COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND THE RIGHT TALENT ON THESE BOARDS WE RECOGNIZE. I MEAN, IT WAS IMPRESSIVE. THE FOLKS THAT CAME IN FRONT OF US AND I THINK WE RECOGNIZE HOW MUCH TALENT WE ACTUALLY HAVE IN THIS CITY. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BYPASS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, FOR THE SAKE OF NOT HURTING SOMEONE'S FEELINGS. I MEAN, WE HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE'S FEELINGS THAT DAY, AND I THINK WE ALL DID IT WITH THE INTENTION
[02:00:03]
OF DOING SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO EACH BOARD THAT IT EVEN IF YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB IF WE SEE GREAT TALENT, AND WE NEED FRESH BLOOD, WE'RE GOING TO JUST MAKE THAT MOVE. SO WE AS A COUNCIL MAKE THAT COMMITMENT. I THINK IT'LL BE FINE. WELL, IS THERE A MOTIOE FORWARD WITH TWO YEAR 22 YEAR TERMS ON EACH BOARD. EXCEPT FOR PNC ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CDC AND GDC. WE WILL ALLOW FOR 32 YEAR TERMS ON THOSE, AND I FURTHER MOVE THAT TO THE EXTENT THIS IS PART OF THE MOVEMENT. THAT WE WHEN WE ARE DEBATING THESE CANDIDATES WE HAVE UP THERE ON THE SCREEN. WHAT DISTRICT EACH PERSON IS IN WHO IS AN INCUMBENT? AND WHO IS AN APPLICANT SO WE CAN GET A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD IS WITH RESPECT TO DIVERSIFICATION AMONG DISTRICTS. THERE'S A LONG MOTION, I'LL ENTERTAIN A 2ND 2ND 2ND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. REMEMBER ONE OTHER THING WE LEARNED, THOUGH, IN THAT LAST IN THAT MEETING, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE LACK OF REPRESENTATION BY SOME DISTRICTS. THE MONEY SPENT BY THAT MONEY BOARD WAS GROSSLY GROSSLY. UM YEAH, YEAH, I REALIZED MY DISTRICT RECEIVED. ABOUT 1/40. MR MAYOR. I DO NOT WANT TO MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLUG VOLUNTEER MCKINNEY AND ASKED THAT THEY BE ALLOWED TO PRESENT WHEN WE SELECT OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE, MCKINNEY DECIDES OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY WHO'S APPLYING FOR THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE AWARE OF THOSE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH VOLUNTEER MCKINNEY.AWESOME. ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT. THAT IS THE END OF OUR AGENDA. OTHER THAN COUNCIL
[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]
COMMENTS, WHICH WE CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY IF WE DO NOT WANT THE RISK OF OFFENDING THE MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE ONE. IF YOU DON'T MIND, YOU KNOW, IN THE BLACK HISTORY OF THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH, THE THING THAT GOT DELAYED IN DR PHELPS POLICE KURT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE HISTORY OF EDUCATION INTEGRATION , MR JAEGERS AND HIS WIFE. I BELIEVE WE'RE IN THE FIRST INTEGRATED, GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL CLASS IN MCKINNEY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM THOSE. I MEAN, WE DON'T THINK ABOUT THOSE FOLKS BEING AROUND MUCH ANYMORE, BUT THAT'S A HELL OF A THING. AND I'M READING RIGHT NOW. A DISSERTATION DONE ON REVEREND VEGAS, WHO DID HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL HISTORY OF HIS WIFE. THAT IS FASCINATING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WHAT IN HOLY FAMILY MAY HAVE BEEN THE FIRST MULTILINGUAL SCHOOL IN THE UNITED STATES. THAT'S VERY POSSIBLE SO THERE'S SOME REALLY COOL HISTORY WE'VE GOT HERE AND THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR SOME OF IT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT MOMENT AND LEGACY KEEPERS OF ALL THESE MCKINNEY IS GOING TO BE DOING A POP UP MUSEUM AT HOLY FAMILY, WHICH USED TO BE DOUGHTY. AND SO THE LECTURE WILL BE TIED TO THAT EVENT. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING.STAYED THIS LONG, MR MAYOR, TEXAS TAKEDOWN ACADEMY IS A WRESTLING ACADEMY HERE IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. LAST WEEK THEY SENT 23 COMPETITORS TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP DOWN AT TEXAS A AND M OF THOSE 23. 16 OF THEM WERE ON THE PODIUM. MADDIE GIVENS, ONE HEARD DIVISION FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW HUNTER FLOM FOR THAT LAST NAME SOUNDS FAMILIAR. IT'S BECAUSE IT IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE SON OF KIM FLAUNT ONE, HIS DIVISION AND ETHAN FLOM CAME HOME IN SECOND PLACE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM MCKINNEY. THE CURRENT SCORE IS RICHARDSON 36 MCKINNEY 29. SO PLEASE BULL FOR THOSE LINES ARE PLAYING A GREAT GAME AGAINST THE NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM IN THE NATION TONIGHT. AND THE FOURTH ROUND OF THE FINALS. AND THOSE GUYS WHO PUT ON A TREMENDOUS SEASON FROM MCKINNEY, SOMETHING ELSE YOU NEED TO BE TREMENDOUSLY PROUD OF HERE IN MCKINNEY. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. ANYONE ELSE?
