[CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:04]
ALL RIGHT. COLOR MEETING TO ORDER IT IS FRIDAY, MARCH 11TH YEAR 2022. IT'S 8 30 IN THE MORNING AND THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 2 22 MORE TENNESSEE STREETS. AND OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS PUBLIC COMMENTS IN WHICH I SEE OPEN HERE. WORK SESSION, EITHER. 22 0 TO 25 DISCUSSED
[Discuss Prioritization of the City Council Strategic Goals]
PRIORITIZATION AND CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC ALS. GOOD MORNING, MR BEAR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. SO THIS MORNING WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE DOUG THOMAS BACK AGAIN. WE JUST MET WITH HIM ON FEBRUARY 11TH WHERE YOU HAD YOUR GOOD MORNING. WE HAD YOUR FIRST SESSION. THIS IS ONE THAT YOU ALL AGREED TO HAVE. WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THIS A FOLLOW UP SESSION. TO HELP WORK THROUGH A COUNCIL ESTABLISHING SORT OF WHAT ARE YOUR RELATIVE PRIORITIES? OF THESE STRATEGIC GOALS. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT. THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, AREN'T A PRIORITY OR AREN'T THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON. BUT IT IS HELPFUL FOR STAFF TO KIND OF KNOW WHAT THE COUNCIL'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES ARE. IN DOING THAT. WE ASKED YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN A SURVEY WAS AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY. BUT WHAT IT DID WAS IT HELPED US GET A GENERAL IDEA OF WHERE THE COUNCIL IS ON ANY OF THESE PARTICULAR RANK ORDER PRIORITIES AS WELL AS SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THE SESSION ON FEBRUARY 11TH. SO DOG IS HERE TO GUIDE US THROUGH THIS PROCESS MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE CHOPPY. IT MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS IT WILL PERHAPS BE A SMOOTH WHEN YOU'VE IDENTIFIED YOUR GOALS, AND NOW YOU HAVE TO SORT OF HASH OUT WHICH ONE OF THE BIGGEST PRIORITIES ALL OF YOU HAVE. MAYBE YOUR OWN SET OF PRIORITIES OUR OWN GOALS. THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE AND WE HAVE TO KIND OF WORK THROUGH THOSE. SO THE INTENT OF COURSE, IS THAT THE COUNCIL IS A BODY ABSOLUTELY INDICATES TO US WHAT THOSE RELATIVE PRIORITIES ARE AND THROUGH THIS PROCESS, BUT JUST UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS REALLY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO PUT INTO IT. I HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE ASK ME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU, BUT I THINK YOU COULD PROBABLY GO THROUGH THIS AND TWO HOURS OR LESS IF WE CAN, BUT IT'S REALLY AS MUCH TIME AS YOU WISH TO SPEND ON IT AS A BODY. DOUG HAS DONE THIS. SO WERE WE TOLD. WE SAID, DOUG, WE'RE KIND OF FOLLOWING YOUR LEAD ON THIS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE ONE OF THESE IN THIS FORMAT WITH THIS COUNCIL HAS DONE THIS IN SOME OTHER AREAS IN EVERY COMMUNITY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. SO WITH THAT. I WILL REINTRODUCE DOUG DOUG, COME UP AND KICK IT OFF. GREAT. THANK YOU, PAUL. APPRECIATE IT. WELL, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN MCKINNEY. THE TREVOR IS AWARE OF THIS. AS I TOLD HIM. I MENTIONED A FEW THIS MORNING. IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE TO GET HERE THIS MORNING. I TYPICALLY FLY OUT IN THE MORNING. I TAKE A MORNING FLIGHT BECAUSE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, I'M THOUGHT CASCADING INTO PROBLEMS. I WASN'T ABLE TO DO THAT YESTERDAY, SO I STARTED IT AT SUPPOSED TO BE A 2 30 FLIGHT OUT OF TAMPA. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GET ME HERE. 2.5 HOURS LATER, ALL SET TO GO TO 30 LED TO 4 34 30 PUT ME ON A PLANE. WE GOT INTO OUR MAC AND WE HAD WEATHER WE HAD TO WAIT. THEN WE HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE THE PILOTS HAD BEEN IN THE AIR. SO TO SPEAK OVER THERE A LOT OF TIME, SO THEY CAME BACK. THEY CANCELED THE FLIGHT. PUT ME ON ANOTHER FLIGHT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE AT 4 30. WE WERE GETTING OFF AT ABOUT 5 15 OR SO AT THAT TIME THAT FLIGHT HAD BEEN DELAYED. THE 6 36 45. THROUGH AUSTIN, BUT I ALREADY HAD, LIKE A 20 MINUTE WINDOW AND THAT FLIGHT HADN'T LEFT YET. SO I CALLED SOUTHWEST AND SAID, THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. I'M GOING TO GET STUCK IN AUSTIN. I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT BACK UP SO LONG STORY SHORT, THEY ENDED UP PUTTING HIM ON A FLIGHT TO GO TO LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. AND THEN THAT WOULD THAT FLIGHT. I DIDN'T HAVE TO GET OFF THE FLAME TO GET BACK HERE. AND THE FLIGHT CREW IS ALL BASED IN TEXAS ARE ALL BASED IN DALLAS, SO I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO GET HERE. SO WE LANDED ABOUT 1 30 LAST NIGHT, AND THEN THE RENTAL CAR PLACES WERE CLOSED AND ABS COUNTING TO ANOTHER RENTAL CAR PLACE TO RENT A CAR GOT FINALLY TO MY HOTEL SOMEWHERE AROUND 2 30 LAST NIGHT, SO GIVE ME SOME GRACE TODAY AS I'M TRYING TO WORK MY WAY THROUGH THIS ONE AS WELL. I APPRECIATE IT AS WELL. BUT I KNOW THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION. I WANT TO JUST BEFORE I KIND OF WALKED THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. TALK JUST AMPLIFY WHAT PAUL JUST SAID. MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE WORK WITH, UM GO THROUGH A STRATEGIC VISIONING PROCESS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND THE BOTTOM MONTH AGO WE'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS HERE. BUT AS I MENTIONED WILL REITERATE SOME OF THESE THINGS TODAY. THERE'S A LOT ON YOUR PLATE AND SOMETIMES STAFFS IN A POSITION OF SAYING, WHERE DO I GO? WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE? WHERE DO I PUT MY TIME ? MY RESOURCES, MY ACTIVITIES, AND SO WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS WORK WITH COMMUNITIES TO AT LEAST GET A SENSE OF WHERE YOU ARE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND EVERY PLACE DOES THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. I WILL JUST TELL YOU FOR HAVING DONE THESE AND A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES AS ELECTED OFFICIALS. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO[00:05:04]
GIVE SOMETHING UP. SO I'VE TRIED TO SAY YOU'RE REALLY NOT GIVING ANYTHING UP ON THIS ONE. WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST PROVIDE SOME SENSE OF PRIORITIES OF ALL THINGS CAN'T BE EQUAL, SO TO SPEAK. UM BUT I KNOW THAT AS IT GETS A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD AT TIMES, AND THERE'S NO ONE WAY TO DO IT. EVERY PLACE I DO. THIS HAS A LITTLE LITTLE DIFFERENT LOOK AND FEEL TO IT AS WELL. BUT I THINK IT WILL HELP YOUR STAFF TO REALLY COME TO A BETTER SENSE THEY AFTER YOU'VE IDENTIFIED ALL YOUR PRIORITIES UNDER YOUR GOALS. THEY OUTLINED CLOSE TO THERE'S CLOSE TO 100 AND 91, OR ALMOST 200 OBJECTIVES THAT THEY'RE TRACKING TO TRY TO SEE HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING WELL. IN SOME CASES, SOME OF YOUR LOWEST PRIORITIES MAY HAVE 567 DIFFERENT EIGHT TRACKING OBJECTIVES ASSOCIATED WITH IT, AND THERE'S SOME TIME AND STAFF TIME INVOLVED WITH THAT. SO THE SENSES, LET'S SEE WHERE THE COUNCIL MAY BE WITH REGARDS TO YOUR HIGHEST LEVEL OF PRIORITIES. AND THEN THE OBJECTIVES AND THE PROCESSES CAN GO INTO THAT EFFORT AS WELL. NOW THAT BEING SAID, IT'S A BODY OF SEVEN. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT FEEDBACK.YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS, AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU KIND OF WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH THAT PROCESS. BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE'VE TRIED TO USE THIS SURVEY TO AT LEAST BE A KIND OF A FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT SO THAT YOU CAN INDIVIDUALLY CHIME IN ON WHERE YOU THOUGHT IT'S ALL DONE. AND HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW YOUR STAFF DOESN'T KNOW WHO WHERE ALL YOU RESPONDED TO THOSE EFFORTS. BUT WE'RE GOING TO UNPACK THOSE TODAY. WE'LL JUST KIND OF WORK OUR WAY THROUGH IT, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IT IN TWO SECTIONS FIRST WILL BE OF YOUR EXISTING PRIORITIES AND UNDER YOUR SIX GOLD AREAS, AND THEN WHEN WE LEFT A MONTH AGO WELL, WE IDENTIFIED PROBABLY CLOSE TO 30 DIFFERENT OTHER ITEMS THAT YOU KIND OF PUT ON THE TABLE THAT YOU WANT TO TALK THROUGH. SO AS YOU COMPLETED THE SURVEY THAT WAS QUESTION NUMBER SEVEN, AND YOU ALL KIND OF IDENTIFIED FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST PRIORITIES WHERE THOSE ARE AND WE'LL JUST UNPACK THOSE AS WELL A LITTLE BIT AFTERWARDS AND FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU MAY BE SO WITH THAT, I'LL SAY PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELTS. BUCKLE UP. TURBULENCE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT TODAY, BUT I THINK WE'LL SURVIVE THIS PROCESS AS WELL. SO LET'S UM A COUPLE WHERE WE WERE. OBVIOUSLY PAUL'S THERE WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE KETCHUP ON WHERE WE LEFT THINGS OFF ON THE 11TH. AND AS I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO START OFF ON THE INITIAL SIX GOAL AREAS AND THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE HAD ESTABLISHED, SO WE'VE GOT SOME IDEA WHERE THEY ARE. AND THEN WE'LL UNPACK THE NEXT PIECE.
THOSE OTHER ITEMS THAT CAME UP AND FROM THERE, WE'LL TALK AFTERWARDS AFTER WE LAND AND YOU KNOW THE SAUSAGE IS MADE SO TO SPEAK. IN THIS PROCESS, STAFF WILL THEN COME BACK AND THEN DETERMINE BASED ON WHAT ARE THEIR PRIORITIES YOU'VE GOT, THEY WILL UNPACK THAT AND DEVELOP ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVES. AND TRACKING MECHANISMS, SO THEY'RE ABLE TO BASICALLY MONITOR THE SUCCESS AND THE PROGRESS OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE IDENTIFIED AND PAUL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER, SO WITH THAT, OKAY, SO FOUNDATIONAL WORK. OBVIOUSLY ALL YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS. YOU'VE GOT SIX GOAL AREAS, YOU PRESENTLY HAVE 31 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES, AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK FROM THOSE THAT MAY CHANGE . YOU MAY HAVE A FEW MORE. YOU MAY END UP ELIMINATING SOME OF THOSE, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED WITH AS WELL. AND THEN BELOW THAT, AS I MENTIONED THERE'S CLOSE TO 200 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES. THESE ARE MONITORING DEVICES AND YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHERE STAFF IS TRACKING INFORMATION AND YOU CAN KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOU ARE SO THAT YOU'RE BEING TRANSPARENT ON THESE YOUR PRIORITIES. THESE ARE WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO GO. HERE'S WHAT STAFFS DOING AND KIND OF IN A DIGITAL DASHBOARD ABOUT THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS THAT THEY'RE HAVING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO TALK BRIEFLY. WE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT, HAVING DONE THESE TYPES OF SESSIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND BIG AND SMALL COMMUNITIES ALL LIKE TYPICALLY, IT'S HARD TO GIVE THINGS UP. SO TYPICALLY, WHAT YOU DO IS YOU COME OUT OF THIS SESSION, JUST LIKE WE DID. THE LAST AREA HAD 30 SOME OTHER ITEMS, SOME OF THOSE RELATED TO SOME OF YOUR EXISTING PRIORITIES. SOME OF THEM WERE NEW. AND WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY FIT IN. AND THE QUESTION ALWAYS ASKED BOARDS IS BECAUSE YOU ULTIMATELY HAVE SOME ORGANIZATIONAL BANDWIDTH. YOU GET CAPACITY AND IF YOU JUST KEEP ADDING THINGS TO THAT CAPACITY, SOMETHING GIVES IS IN THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICE OF THE AMOUNT OF HOURS. YOU'RE BURNING OUT STAFF THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO THE GOAL HERE IS TO TRY TO JUST BE SENSITIVE. THE FACT THAT IT'S OKAY TO SHED SOME THINGS THAT AT ONE POINT WHERE A PRIORITY BUT MAYBE AREN'T AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, OR MAYBE DON'T EVEN NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A PRIORITY, SO I HAVEN'T HAVEN'T ELIMINATED ANY PRIORITIES, BUT THE CONCEPT OF THIS ORGANIZED ABANDONMENT. IS THE BASICALLY GET YOU SOME ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY SO THAT YOU CAN FOCUS YOUR TIME AND ENERGY AND RESOURCES ON THE THINGS THAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOUR ORGANIZATION. BECAUSE KEEP IN MIND IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL WAS ELECTED OFFICIALS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THIS ORGANIZATION PAUL AND HIS TEAM IS THE CEO AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM. THERE ARE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THIS ORGANIZATION. HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU HAVE ALL TOGETHER HERE? ABOUT 14 1400 SO SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE LOWER IN THE ORGANIZATION ARE TRACKING THINGS AND DOING THINGS AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU IT'S EVEN IMPORTANT TO YOU OR NOT. SO THE GOAL HERE IS TO TRY TO STAB WISH THAT IMPORTANCE AND THAT RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE TEAM CAN PUSH THAT THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION. SO YOU'RE BASICALLY HAVING ALL OF THE STAFF APPLYING, PULLING YOURS IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE SPENDING TIME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO A COUPLE THINGS, IT'S THE RIGHT ACTION TO ABANDON. IF THE MARKET THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE HAS A FEW
[00:10:05]
GOOD YEARS. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'VE ALREADY INVESTED IN IT, BUT IT'S GETTING THE TAIL END.IT'S OKAY TO LET THAT GO. AH DRUCKER ALSO SAID THAT IT'S RIGHT IF IT'S THE KEEPING THE SERVICE OF THE PRODUCT OR MARKET THAT IS ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR ALREADY INVESTED. IT'S DONE.
LET'S NOT GET RID OF IT. BUT ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A IT'S AN ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY ISSUE.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT I WANT YOU TO JUST THINK ABOUT, AS WE GO THROUGH TODAY IS THAT IF YOU'RE HANGING ON TO SOMETHING IN THE PASTOU FROM BEING ABLE TO DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU NOW. THAT'S REALLY WHERE I WANT YOU TO FOCUS ON TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DO WE MAYBE LET GO AS WE GO FORWARD IN THIS SO WITH THAT, JUST TO BRING YOU BACK. I THINK I RAISED THIS QUOTE BEFORE. I ALWAYS USE GEORGE ORWELL. ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL. IT'S JUST SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. THAT'S THE CASE WITH YOUR GOALS. THEY'RE ALL EQUAL IN YOUR MIND, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY YOU AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PROCESS IS TO TRY TO PROVIDE SOME DIRECTION AND SOME CONSENSUS. FIRST AND FOREMOST WITH YOU AMONGST HIS ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THEN TO PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF AND THE ORGANIZATION, SO PUT ANOTHER WAY WITH DILBERT. ESSENTIAL CRITICAL. MUST HAVE YOU KNOW WHAT DO I WORK ON? YOU FIGURE THAT OUT, SO THE GOAL HERE IS TO TRY TO PROVIDE SOME DIRECTION TO YOUR ORGANIZATION AS WE GO FORWARD. SO WHAT WE DID. WE CAME OUT OF THIS EFFORT LAST YEAR, AND THIS WAS THE THIRD YEAR THAT I THINK I'VE DONE WORK WITH THE CITY, AND THERE WAS THE ADVANCED INTERVIEWS THAT I HAD WITH MANY OF YOU. THERE ARE SEVERAL OF YOU THAT SAID, MAYBE WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT DROPPING SOME PRIORITIES OR THINKING ABOUT PRIORITIZATION OF OUR PRIORITIES , SO IT KIND OF THE SEED WAS PLANTED BY SEVERAL OF YOU BEFORE I EVEN POSED THE QUESTION. AND SO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST MONTH THERE WAS A DESIRE TO DO THIS TYPE OF PROCESS. SO APPRECIATE THAT WILLINGNESS BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF THE EVOLUTION OF YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN. YOU DON'T NECESSARILY DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER IN THE PROCESS. SO WHAT WE DID WE ASKED YOU TO VOTE INDIVIDUALLY ON THE EXISTING PRIORITIES, AND YOU ALL RANK THEM FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST, AND I'M GOING TO UNPACK THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU TODAY. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW WHO IF YOU WANT TO. YOU ALL KNOW IF YOU MAY REMEMBER WHERE YOU VOTED. YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER WHERE YOU VOTED, BUT YOU'LL GET A CHANCE TO SEE THAT. IN SOME CASES, IT'S VERY CLEAR WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DATA. THERE'S CONSENSUS, THERE IS STRONG CONSENSUS OF HIGHEST, SECOND HIGHEST, MAYBE THE MIDPOINT AND THEN VERY FEW OR, IF ANY OF THE LOWER PRIORITIES. BUT IN SOME CASES, IT'S NOT CLEAR BECAUSE OF THE NATURE. IT'S A WEIGHTED AVERAGE AS YOU'LL SEE THE VOTING PROCESS COME FORWARD, SO I'M GOING TO IDENTIFY IN THE CODES THAT I'LL USE AS WE GO THROUGH IT AS IF IT'S IN GREEN. I THINK THERE'S CLEAR DIRECTION. I JUST WANT CONFIRMATION THAT YES, THAT'S SIR. EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE. BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE SIX DIFFERENT GOALS AND THE VARIOUS PRIORITIES AND WALK THROUGH WHERE I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME CONVERSATION AND STAFF CERTAINLY HERE TO HELP ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS IS TO GO FORWARD. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THEN WE'LL SHIFT GEARS AFTER THAT. TO TALK ABOUT THESE NEW INITIATIVES THAT WE WENT TOWARD AND THEN FROM THAT POINT, THEN WE'LL DECIDE WITH YOUR STAFF AND YOU IF ANY OF THOSE THINGS GET IF THEY'RE JUST OBJECTIVES, THEY FALL INTO YOUR EXISTING GOALS AND PRIORITIES. OR IF ANY OF THOSE THINGS GET MOVED INTO A NEW PRIORITY, SO TO SPEAK.
EVERYBODY MAKES SENSE. GOT IT. OKAY, GREAT. ALRIGHT SO TO START THINGS OFF GOAL NUMBER ONE DIRECTION FOR STRATEGIC AND ECONOMIC GROWTH. THESE ARE YOUR EXISTING GOALS. THOSE SHOULD ALL LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU. NOTHING GOT CHANGED. THIS IS FROM YOUR EXISTING DOCUMENT. NOTHING THAT WE'VE CHANGED HERE. AND THEN THIS IS GOING TO SHOW YOU TWO DIFFERENT CHARTS, AND WE'LL SHOW YOU A BAR CHART. SO IF YOU YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT NUMBERS DIFFERENT. SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE GRAPHICS. THIS GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHERE THE VOTING TOOK PLACE. NOW AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND TREVOR CAN FILL IN THE GAPS AS NEED BE, UM ALL OF YOU PARTICIPATED. BUT THERE WAS SOMEBODY MUST HAVE RUN INTO A TECHNICAL ISSUE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T CAPTURE SEVEN VOTES FOR EVERYTHING. WE CAPTURED FOR SOME AND NOT OTHERS, SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SIX VOTES IN SOME CASES IN SEVEN VOTES IN OTHER CASES, AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THAT TODAY, AND I KNOW JUST IS NOT HERE, SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. BUT I'LL JUST SAY THAT AS A PREFERENCE, SO ANYWAYS, IT LOOKS LIKE AS YOU GO FORWARD. UM YOUR WELL, LET'S GO BACK TO YOUR AREA. IT LOOKS TO BE THAT ESTABLISHING REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE INCENTIVES TO INCREASE ECONOMIC GROWTH. AND PROVIDING A STRONG CITY ECONOMY . WE'RE CREATING GLOBAL HOUSING STRATEGY AND FACILITATING A BALANCE BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL AND OPEN SPACE APPEAR TO BE YOUR TOP TWO PRIORITIES. WITHIN THIS PARTICULAR GOAL AREA. SO THIS IS THE CHART YOU CAN SEE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, I'LL UNPACK THIS TO A GREATER EXTENT.
OBVIOUSLY UM, HIGHEST PRIORITY IS 15. AND THIS THIS AREA QUESTIONS SEVEN IS REVERSED. BUT IN THIS THIS QUESTION FOR THEIR EXISTING GOALS. FOUR OF YOU SAID THAT THE ESTABLISHED REGIONAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE INCENTIVES TO INCREASE ECONOMIC GROWTH. SO IT WAS YOUR TOP PRIORITY. THREE OF YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR SECOND TO HIGHEST PRIORITY. THAT TO ME GIVES ME A PRETTY GOOD CONSENSUS. EVERYBODY'S ON THAT SIDE OF THE EQUATION. IN A SIMILAR VEIN, THE SECOND ONE
[00:15:04]
DEALING WITH YOUR HOUSING STRATEGY, NOT AS MANY IDENTIFIED AS YOUR TOP PRIORITY, BUT IT WAS YOUR SECOND HIGHEST. AND SO YOU CAN SEE. THERE'S ONLY ONE OUTLIER ON THIS BOAT THAT IDENTIFIED IT AS FOR LOWER PRIORITY, SO I LOOK AT THIS AND SAY. I THINK THERE'S CONSENSUS, BUT THIS IS A CHANCE FOR YOU TO TALK. IS THAT GENERALLY WHERE YOU THINK THAT SHOULD LAND OR DO WE NEED TO TALK THROUGH ANY OF THE OTHER AREAS? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A PRETTY BIG DROP BETWEEN THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF FOUR DROPPING DOWN TO 2.67 AND OBVIOUSLY ONE NOW WE'RE NOT SUGGESTING WE GET RID OF THE OTHER GOALS THAT WEREN'T RANKED IT JUST WE'RE GOING TO. I'M TRYING TO GET YOU TO THE POINT OF SAYING CAN YOU IDENTIFY YOUR TOP TWO PRIORITIES WITHIN YOUR SIXTH GOAL AREAS? SOMEBODY KIND OF UNDERSTAND THE METHODOLOGY THERE. ANY DISCUSSION, OR ARE YOU ALL PRETTY GOOD ON THIS ONE? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF YOUR DISCUSSION DIRECTION FROM YOU.GOOD. OKAY I START YOU WITH AN EASY ONE, BECAUSE YOU WILL GET SOME THAT WILL GET HARDER. WE'LL WALK BEFORE YOU RUN. OKAY GOAL NUMBER TWO OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE. THESE YOUR EXISTING GOALS, CERTAINLY STRONG DESIRES TO MAINTAIN YOUR PROVISION OF EXCELLENCE OF SERVANTS. THIS ONE. ALSO, IN A SIMILAR VEIN, YOU HAD SOME PRIORITIES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED EQUALLY BETWEEN THE BALANCE AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE NEEDS OF THE CITY.
AND CONTINUOUSLY PROVIDE HIGH LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE TO OUR CITIZENS, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT GRAPHICALLY. AND THEN ALSO, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS. UM A LITTLE MORE SPREAD OUT THE HIGHEST RANKING HIGH LEVEL SERVICE. THREE OF YOU IDENTIFIED THIS TOP TWO OF YOU IDENTIFIED A SECOND HIGHEST ONE OF YOU HAD IDENTIFIED AS A LOWER PRIORITY. UM AND THEN, OBVIOUSLY CLOSELY FOLLOWED KIND OF A CONSENSUS BETWEEN THE HIGHEST IN THE MIDDLE AREA AS WELL. AS I SAID, THIS WILL. THIS IS ANOTHER RELATIVELY EASY ONE. YOU'LL GET TO SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK THROUGH. BUT UM, GENERAL CONSENSUS ON THAT, OR IS THERE ANYTHING? UM AND IF ANYONE IDENTIFIED YOU KNOW SOMETHING AT A LOWER LEVEL, IF YOU WANT TO TALK THROUGH THAT, IF THAT MAKES IT CHANGE, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO ADDRESS IT. OR ARE YOU OKAY WITH IDENTIFYING THOSE TWO AS YOUR TOP PRIORITIES WITHIN THIS GOAL AREA? OKAY? OKAY? ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ONE POTENTIAL MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT YOUR EXISTING GOALS WHILE DISCUSSION GOING ON OUT THERE IN TERMS OF PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, COMMERCIAL AIR ACTIVITIES. UM SOME GENERAL CONSENSUS ON THIS AS WELL. IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES STRATEGIES. PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, EXPANDED CORPORATE COMMERCIAL ACTION ACTIVITY. THAT MAKES SENSE A LOT OF YOU, ALL OF YOU IDENTIFY THAT AND THE ADVANCED DISCUSSIONS AND THEN LOOKING AT LAND USE REGULATIONS AND POLICIES THAT EXPLAINED LONG TERM OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE OUT THERE SO AND. YOUR GOALS ON THIS ONE. WE'RE ALSO PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. FIVE OF YOU IDENTIFIED AS YOUR HIGHEST GOAL FOR THAT FIRST LEVEL. AND THEN FIVE OF YOU IDENTIFIED AS YOUR SECOND HIGHEST GOAL, SO THERE'S REALLY SOME PRETTY GOOD CLARITY THERE. OBVIOUSLY SOME OUTLIERS AS WELL, BUT, UM, I THINK GENERALLY ANYTIME I'VE SHOWN IT IN GREEN, I THINK THERE'S A GENERAL CONSENSUS OF WHERE I THINK YOU'RE AT I'LL SEE IT UP TO YOU AGAIN. ARE YOU IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ON THAT ONE? NOPE. OKAY. OKAY FINANCIALLY SOUND GOVERNMENT GOAL NUMBER 44 GOALS. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE TRICKIER BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE ALL SPLIT THEIR ALL IMPORTANT TO YOU AS WELL, GRAPHICALLY JUST SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES THERE. SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH. UM. THIS ONE. I DON'T HAVE REAL CLEAR CONSENSUS ON SO THIS IS ONE. WE NEED TO HAVE SOME DISCUSSION WITH YOU ON ABOUT WHERE YOU'RE AT. SO UM, IT LOOKS TO BE THAT FUNDING AND ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK TO ENSURE CONTINUE ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS AS STRONG WITH ABOUT HALF OF YOU. BUT IT STARTS TO TAIL OFF. TWO OF YOU SAID LOWER PRIORITY OF THESE, AND ONE WAS KIND OF A YOU KNOW, BEYOND THE HALFWAY POINT, WHATEVER RANKED AS YOUR THIRD PRIORITY, BUT THEN EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RANKED LOWER. NUMBER OF THE LAST ONE. CREATE FINANCIAL PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH AS WELL . SHOOTING REMAIN, AND TWO OF YOU SAID IT WAS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. TWO OF YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR LOWEST PRIORITY. SO THIS IS ONE. I DON'T HAVE CLEAR DIRECTION ON AND WE PROBABLY NEED TO TALK THROUGH WHERE YOU ARE AS A GROUP. UM ABOUT WHERE YOU KNOW THOSE OF YOU VOTED THE HIGHER LEVEL. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE TO YOU AS WELL AS THOSE OF YOU THAT MAYBE LOOKED AT THAT AND RANKED IT TO A LOWER LEVEL AND I WANT TO REITERATE THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT. I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE NOT IMPORTANT PRIORITIES. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET SOME DIRECTION TO STAFF. AS FAR AS WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, WHERE DO THEY WHERE THEY SPEND THEIR ACTIVITIES AND THEIR ENERGIES AND THEIR RESOURCES, SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU TO GET A SENSE OF WHERE YOU'RE AT HERE. MOUSE WILL CONFUSED. WITH THAT LAST ONE
[00:20:02]
WHEN IT SAYS CREATIVE FINANCIAL PLAN. I GUESS I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. AND CREATING A FINANCIAL PLANS SEEMS TO ME THAT IT ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S ON THERE. FOR ME. THIS WAS ONE THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM IS INTERTWINED. THERE THERE. IF YOU'RE ACHIEVING ONE, YOU'RE ACHIEVING THE OTHERS. THE MOST PART. I MEAN, THIS THIS WAS A TOUGH ONE TO BREAK UP INTO FOR ME. THE PRIORITIES. GREAT FINANCIAL PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH. IN OTHER WORDS, HERE, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT ROAD MAINTENANCE RIGHT NOW, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, AND THAT'S JUST BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF. OF CITY FUNDS AND GOOD FINANCIAL PLANNING, WHICH, OF COURSE PLAYS A PART AND MAINTAINING OUR BOND RATING, WHICH PLAYS A PART IN BALANCING THE RESOURCES. IT'S JUST THAT. SO IS THERE JUST ALL IN THEIR TWENTIES? SURE I CAN GET CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. SO I'M GOING TO POST THE QUESTION, IS IT IS THAT THE RIGHT GOAL OR IS IT? DO WE ELIMINATE THAT GOAL? OR DO WE MORPH IT INTO SOMETHING IS ANOTHER WORDS OR I'M SORRY, NOT THE GOAL. YOUR PRIORITY SHOULD BE VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. AND I READ THAT, BUT I'LL DEFER TO STAFF BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT IS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT AND DEALING WITH HOW DOES THE CITY BECOMES SUSTAINABLE? ECONOMICALLY FINANCIALLY, OPERATIONALLY? THAT'S HOW I CERTAINLY INTERPRET THAT. BUT I'LL DEFER THAT TO PAUL. WHICH THEN KIND OF TRADERS. THE REST. I THINK TO YOUR POINT THERE. YOU KNOW IF YOU ACCEPT THAT SET THE PLANS AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE KIND OF FOLLOWS THEREAFTER. SO UM, BUT STAFF TRYING TO INTERPRET YOUR THOUGHTS, SO LET ME KICK IT OVER TO STAFF ABOUT YOUR TAKE ON THAT. THANK YOU, DOUG. SO THE LAST ONE THE WAY WHAT TREVOR IS GOING TO DO IS HE'S GOING TO PULL UP THE ACTUAL OBJECTIVES UNDER EACH ONE OF THESE FROM WHAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY TOOK KIND OF REMIND OURSELVES. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE OBJECTIVES THAT WE PUT IN PLACE AND IT MIGHT PROVIDE MORE CLARITY FOR YOU. BUT THE LAST ONE IS LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING. I MEAN, WE TRY TO DO LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANS, WHETHER IT'S CAPITAL BUDGET OR EVEN OUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET IF YOU CAN. UM LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING HAS ITS LIMITS, OF COURSE, BECAUSE IT'S DEPENDENT UPON THE FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE TIME, BUT YOU MAKE CERTAIN REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS AND YOU'RE ABLE TO SORT OF PROJECT OUT WHERE THE WHAT I CALL THE YOU KNOW THE LANDMINES ARE IT GIVES YOU HEADLIGHTS TO KIND OF LOOK OR A BRIGHT BEAMS. IT'S SORT OF LIKE PUTTING DRIVING ON BRIGHT BEANS TO KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NEXT FIVE OR 10 YEARS. AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK THE LAST ONE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT FOR SURE. AND YOU KNOW SOME COUNCILS AND OTHER I MEAN, I'VE SEEN COUNCILS THAT DON'T REALLY PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION A LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANS BECAUSE THEY DON'T LEARN THEM VERY CANDIDLY. A LOT OF TIMES. THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE LONG TERM FINANCIAL OUTLOOK IS BECAUSE THEY'RE FOCUSED ON HERE AND NOW I DON'T GET THE SENSE THAT THAT'S WHAT THIS COUNCIL I THINK YOU GUYS GENERALLY APPRECIATE IT AND VALUE IT AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW IF THAT'S A VALUE TO YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT. UM THE FIRST ONE ON HERE WAS KIND OF SCRATCHING MY HEAD. I THINK THAT ONE HAS TO DO WHEN WE SAY PROVIDE FUNDING AND ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK. YES SO SOME OF THE ACTUAL GOALS ON HERE OR MAINTAIN FUND BALANCES AT OR ABOVE LEVELS REQUIRED BY POLICY THROUGHOUT THE SQUARE, 21 ENSURE THAT INTEREST IN SINKING TAX RATE THE INTEREST IN SINKING FUND TAX RATE DOES NOT EXCEED LEVELS REQUIRED BY LAW AND THEN UNDER HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, MANAGED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS AND NO HOUSING URBAN DEVELOPMENT FINDINGS ENSURE THAT AVAILABLE TO THE REGIME FUNDS IS PERCENTAGE OF HUD FUND BALANCE INCREASED ANNUAL GRANT FUNDING BY 5% SO. THAT'S THAT REALLY HAS TO DO WITH THEM. YOU KNOW? BASICALLY PRUDENT FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND SOME OF THE CROSSWORD JUST RIGHT. WE'RE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. YEAH I MEAN , YOU KNOW NO ONE'S YEAH, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S. I MEAN IT CONTINUAL ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT TO ME. I'M WANTING TO GET MAYBE MORE CLARITY FROM YOU WHEN YOU SAY ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YOU KNOW THE ECONOMY OR ARE YOU THINKING MORE FINANCIAL INTERNALLY FINANCIAL IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH I WOULD THINK WE WOULD HAVE USED THAT TOURNAMENT THAT WERE THE CASE, SO I'M THINKING A LITTLE MORE CLARITY HERE MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR US. UM IF IT'S ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS, MEANING THE LOCAL ECONOMY, THINGS ARE GOING TO STRENGTHEN THE LOCAL ECONOMY. AND YOU'RE PROVIDING THE ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK, MEANING YOU'RE GOING TO INVEST IN THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO KEEP A STRONG ECONOMY. THAT MEANS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUNCTIONS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, ABC. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE MAKING[00:25:02]
ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS, IN OTHER WORDS, MAINTAINING A STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY. IT'S NOT JUST PEOPLE EITHER COULD ALSO BE INVESTMENT. BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M THINKING. BUT AGAIN, IT'S UP TO YOU. I SEE THE FIRST THREE KIND OF BEING TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GROWING AND GROWING TAX BASE. WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT WAYS. THINGS LIKE THAT. AND IF YOU'RE DOING THAT, THEN THAT'S GOING TO CREATE THE BALANCED RESOURCES. THE TAXES. THE SALES TAX IS THE AND IF YOU CONTINUE TO THOSE TWO THINGS, THEN MAINTAINING THE TRIPLE A RATING IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO I THINK THAT THAT TO ME, IT'S THOSE THREE ARE KIND OF ALL WORKED TOGETHER. AND THEN IF YOU AND I THINK I THINK THE HERE AND NOW IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO THE COUNCIL BUT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE FUTURE. WE'RE ALWAYS WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LEAVE THIS IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE AND PREPARED FOR FUTURE GROWTH AND TO HELP OUT FUTURE COUNCILS. EVERYONE MARK THAT. NUMBER THREE. IS THE MARKETPLACE SCREAMING AT US AS TO HOW GOOD OF A JOB WE'RE DOING. AND WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT US, WE CAN MAKE WHATEVER SUBJECTIVE ARGUMENT WE WANT, BUT THE MARKETPLACE IS THE ONE WHO THEY'LL LOOK AT S AND P AND THIS SHOULD I WOULD SO. YOU KNOW TO ME, THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE FOR ME BECAUSE MAINTAINING THAT TRIPLE A RATING IS SOMETHING THAT WE OUGHT TO COVER IT. YOU KNOW FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE LESS INITIATED WHEN A CITY GOES OUT TO BORROW MONEY, THE TRIPLE A RATING MUSEUM BORROWED POLICED AMOUNT OF INTEREST. RELATIVE TO A CITY THAT MAY HAVE A JUNK STATUS OF WORSE THAN TRIPLE B. THEY PAY HIGHER INTEREST RATE FOR GIVEN THINGS SO I THINK WE PROTECT THAT. AND I THINK. YOU KNOW WHEN WE MAKE LONG TERM PLANS, NOBODY IN THEIR 2000 AND 17 PLANS WAS SAYING, WELL, LET'S PLAN FOR COVID. YOU KNOW, WE JUST THESE LEFT HOOKS COME OUT OF THE BLUE AT US AND THEY CHANCES ARE THE ABOUT 100% THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO COME AT US BUT PURSUING THE TRIPLE A RATING DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOING TO GET IT. BUT PURSUING THE TRIPLE A RATING MEANS THAT WE ARE TAKING THE WITH THE MARKETPLACE IS TELLING US TO DO AND WE'RE BEING THE BEST STEWARDS BASED ON WHAT THE MARKET POLICE TELLS US IN THE COMMUNICATES THAT EVERYBODY BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT LIVING HERE. PATRICK IT'S AN OUTCOME MEASURE RIGHT AT THE END OF THE DAY. THAT IS WHEN YOU LOOK FOR OUTCOMES. THAT'S AN OUTCOME MEASURE. CHOIRS, THE OTHERS. IT'S AN INDICATOR. REST. RIGHT? I DO THINK THE FIRST ONE NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF WORK. I THINK WE NEED TO CLARIFY. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ECONOMIC CONTINUAL ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS, AND I THINK WE AND DO WE PROBABLY NEED TO GO BACK AND REVISIT SOME OF THOSE OBJECTIVES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE I'M NOT SO SURE THEY ARE. AND COME BACK TO YOU WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT BETTER. BUT WHAT DO YOU WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? WHEN YOU WHEN YOU READ THAT PARAGRAPH OF THAT CLAUSE, ENSURE CONTINUAL ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS . DO YOU MEAN THE ECONOMY? DO YOU MEAN THE LOCAL ECONOMY CONTINUAL. BECAUSE IT PROVIDING FUNDING AND ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK. TO ENSURE CONTINUAL. IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY. FOR EXAMPLE, THAT'S SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. THEN IF YOU MET SOMETHING MORE FINANCIAL, RIGHT, SO YOU TELL US WHAT YOU THINK. WELL, WOULD YOU WOULD WOULD ECONOMIC GROWTH.INSTEAD OF ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS VIA. AND WE'RE GROWING THE ECONOMY AND THE SAME THING. IT'S CERTAINLY RELATES TO YOUR YOUR LAST GOAL TALKS ABOUT FUTURE GROWTH AND THE AND THE MAINTENANCE OF YOUR RESOURCES. SO I THINK YOU CAN MAKE THE ARGUMENT TO THAT POINT THAT IT IS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH. OR ACTIVITY, RIGHT? I. I ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. MM. ECONOMIC GROWTH CAN BE ENGINEERED. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT'S DONE IN THE RIGHT WAYS. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUILDING CAPACITY FOR THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT? YOU'RE BUILDING YOUR CAPACITIES FOR FUTURE WORKFORCE, ETCETERA. SO I WOULD I WOULD MAYBE SUGGEST YOU CAN SAY CONTINUAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU COULD SAY CONTINUAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. NOT JUST GROWTH. DISTINCTION AS THE WELL RUN THE EXISTING BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRIES THAT YOU'VE GOT TO PLAY, SO THEY'RE ABLE TO
[00:30:02]
CONTINUE TO THRIVE WITHOUT NECESSARILY ADDING NEW NEW DEVELOPMENT CANDIDATES. THE DISTINCTION. IT'S NOT JUST RIGHT, KENNY ADAPT. I THINK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT KIND OF NARROWS IT DOWN. BETTER. AND IMPROVEMENTS. SO MAYBE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THEN THE QUESTION IS IF IT SAID ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WOULD IT BE RANKED THE SAME, AND I THINK THERE IS TO YOUR POINT, CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF AMBIGUOUS NOUS THERE. AND I THINK THAT MY GUESS IS THAT THE PRIORITY OF THAT IS JUST KIND OF AMBIGUOUS. BUT IF YOU ASK A GROUP, YOU KNOW, DO YOU WANT TO HAVE CONTINUED ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENT? YES AND THEN HE ASKED TO DRILL DOWN WAS THAT MEAN? I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY. SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE WE COME BACK. LINING EVERYBODY ELSE, ALL RIGHT? SURE, THAT'S. AND RECOGNIZE THAT AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ENGAGED YOUR CITIZENRY ARE. BUT THE GOAL HERE ISESE ARS . AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE LOOKING AT THESE AND SAYING OKAY THERE TO SOME EXTENT GAUGING YOU ABOUT ARE YOU ARE WE AS THE SHIP HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, SO CLARITY IS WHAT I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR. I THINK YOU KNOW THERE'S CLEARLY YOU AS ELECTED OFFICIALS FELT THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT IT AND CERTAINLY ON STAFF. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT SOME WORDING TO DO TO ADD SOME CLARITY TO NUMBER ONE. TO, UM UM, WHO RAISED THE PATRICK? I THINK HE RAISED IT ON. I THINK I COULD MAKE IF I'M LOOKING AT THIS DATA THAT IF YOU'RE USING THE BENCHMARK, THE MARKETPLACE BENCHMARK OF YOUR BOND RATINGS FOUR OF YOU STRONG CONSENSUS HAD THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, SECOND HIGHEST PRIORITIES. I THINK TO ME THAT GIVES HIM A SENSE OF DIRECTION THAT IF YOU'RE DOING THAT, THAT'S THE HIGHEST PRIORITY OF THIS IS ME SAYING YOU HAVE TO CONFIRM THIS. EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES KIND OF PART AND PARCEL BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T DO THE REST OF THE STUFF YOU CAN'T GET TO THAT. I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE VOTES GENERALLY IMPLY, EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T IDENTIFIED BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION OF THE DIFFERENT GOALS. MY SENSE WOULD BE MAYBE YOUR HIGHEST GOAL IS IF YOU IF YOU MAINTAIN YOUR TRIPLE A BOND RATING, THE OTHER ONES SUPPORT THAT THAT ACTIVITY. I DON'T MEAN TO CONDEMN THE OTHER THREE BUT TO AN EXTENT, THE OTHER THREE OF WORDS SOUP TO ME, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT NUMBER THREE DOES PROVIDE CLARITY AND THE FACT IS THE MARKET. POLICE COULD START TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT THINGS BASED ON THE SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY, AND WHATEVER THE MARKETPLACE CAN CAN CAN SAY THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT WAS GIVEN WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO. IN THE CITY OUGHT TO ADAPT. I CAN'T THINK OF A SCENARIO I CAN THINK OF SOME, BUT IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A SCENARIO WHERE WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO GO. BUT IT'S GOING TO COST US OUR TRIPLE A BOND RATING, RIGHT. YOU KNOW, AT LEAST IT GIVES US A BASIS FOR DISCUSSION BEFORE WE EMBARK ON THAT SCENARIO TO SEE IS THE JUICE WORTH THE SQUEEZE. IN THAT CASE, GOOD POINT GOOD POINT. AND THEN YOU'RE MAKING A CONSCIOUS DECISION. BUT YOU'RE DOING IT RELATIVE TO WHAT YOUR OVERALL GOAL IS THERE. OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE. FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WANT TO GO HEAR WHAT I'M WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT YOU WANT TO PROVIDE SOME CLARITY ON GOLD OR PRIORITY NUMBER ONE, ESPECIALLY ABOUT ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS, SO THAT'S CLEAR TO YOU CLEAR TO STAFF AND CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC.UM IS THERE A SENSE THAT THE HIGHEST GOAL IS THAT TRIP AWAY MODERATING. BASED ON YOUR VOTING AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD HERE TODAY. DOES THAT SEEM LIKE THAT SHOULD BE YOUR TOP PRIORITY WITHIN THIS ARENA. WELL THAT'S WHY I SAID, I'M THIS AND THIS IS WHERE THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE AS WELL ISN'T IDENTIFIED SOMETIMES HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE CONSENSUS WOULD BE AS A BOARD CONSENSUS.
THERE ARE FOUR OF YOU, MORE THAN HALF OF YOU PUT IT NEXT TO THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. BUT ONCE AGAIN, THIS ISN'T JUST BECAUSE YOU VOTED THIS WAY DOESN'T MEAN THESE ARE YOUR FINAL GOALS. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO CONFIRM WHETHER THAT YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR PRIORITIES WOULD BE. SO I SEE THERE'S A CONSENSUS THERE. BUT OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE MAYBE IT ISN'T. MAYBE MAYBE THE TOP ONE STILL WAS PROVIDE FUNDING AND ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK AND WHEN, WITH SOME CLARITY ON THE LANGUAGE AND ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENT. AND THEN THEN THE QUESTION IS, IS GOAL NUMBER TWO OR GOAL NUMBER THREE OR SECOND PRIORITY. HIGHEST PRIORITIES. SO I SAY. SO I HEAR WHAT SAYING, RANDY, YOU'RE SAYING NO, I DON'T THINK NUMBER ONE IS THE TOP PRIORITY. SKIP THIS A MORE. OUR TIME. DON'T THINK OKAY, OKAY. HERE WHAT NUMBER ONE MEANS YOU CAN HAVE SIX DIFFERENT ANSWERS, SO OKAY. PARTIES AGAIN. THAT'S CERTAINLY A FAIR OUTCOME. IF THAT'S. I'M
[00:35:04]
FINE WITH IT. OKAY? IF WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK ON THIS AS THERE ANY OTHER CLARITY ON THE OTHER THREE GOALS THAT YOU WOULD WANT STAFF TO IDENTIFY OR YOU'RE GOOD WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT.RECOGNIZE WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE NUMBER ONE. YEAH WE'LL COME UP WITH ENTIRE LANGUAGE WILL REMEMBER. THIS IS ALL GOING TO COME BACK TO TALK ABOUT HIS AT THE END. IT'S ALL GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU AND YOU'RE GOING TO REVIEW THESE AND ADOPTED FORMALLY ANYWAY IN EARLY MAY, PROBABLY SO. HAPPY TO DO THAT. OKAY? SO NUMBER ONE IS DEFINITELY GETTING REWARDED. THE REST OF THEM IF LESS STAFF COMES BACK WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT. COUNCIL IS OKAY WITH THE WAY THEY'RE WORDED FOR, SAY. OKAY AND THEN, ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE REALLY REWARD THAT AND BRING THAT BACK TO YOU FOR ANOTHER VOTE. SEE WHERE THAT SHAKES OUT. IF WE GET A LITTLE BETTER CLARITY THERE BECAUSE THAT ONE'S OBVIOUSLY ALL OVER THE OVER THE PLACE. OKAY GOAL NUMBER FIVE ENHANCED THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN MCKINNEY. YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF LOT OF PRIORITIES IN THIS AREA.
YOUR VOTES SHOOK OUT. THE BELT PARK STRATEGY TO PRESERVE GREEN SPACE FOR ME, THIS WILL PARKLAND IS NUMBER ONE. UM FOLLOWED BY CREATE AFFORDABLE RECREATION OF CULTURAL ARTS ACTIVITIES FOR ALL AGES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AS YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THEM. THERE'S SOME OTHER VOTES THERE AS WELL. SO LET ME SHOW YOU HOW THEY CHANCE TO DIGEST THAT. OKAY, SO. OH I'M SORRY. ONE THING THAT'S INTERESTING. NOT JUST WHAT IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES BUT ALSO LOOKING AT THOSE THAT KIND OF FELT LIKE THERE'S A CATEGORY OF IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE CATEGORIES OF THINGS THAT ARE LESS IMPORTANT, SO THIS WOULD SAYING THERE'S A LOT OF IMPORTANT THINGS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT THERE'S A LOT OF SPREAD. YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, YOU LOOK AT THE RESULTS OF THE BAR CHART FAR DOWN SHADES OF GRAY. YEAH, SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT PRIORITIES, IT'S ALSO WHAT ARE THE LOW PRIORITIES, THE THINGS THAT HEART IS IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON AS WELL THAT HEAD BY FOCUS ON I MEAN, WE SPEND LESS TIME ON THOSE SO WE CAN ADDRESS THE SIX OR SEVEN HIGHER PRIORITY ITEMS. IN THIS CASE, THE GREEN INITIATIVES AND THE MARKETING OF MCKINNEY'S UNIQUE DESTINATION. IT'S IMPORTANT, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS GOT LOST ALL SUPPORT. YEAH.
YEP. SO HERE'S. SO I SAID, IT LOOKS TO BE OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS PRETTY STRONG, 22 AND ONE SO FIVE OF YOU WERE ON THAT PAGE FOR THAT ASSURE, UM AND THEN ALSO THE TOP ONE. THE SECOND ONE, UM CREATE AFFORDABLE RECREATION, CULTURAL ARTS ACTIVITIES. PRETTY STRONG SUPPORT A LITTLE MORE CONSENSUS DRIVEN THERE THAN YOU KNOW, IDENTIFYING IT AND THEN I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER PAGE HERE AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE WORK KIND OF TO YOUR TO YOUR POINT, BARRY, THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER KIND OF JUST I'M SORRY. GO BACK HERE. THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER KIND OF A LOT OF SUPPORT. BUT IT'S UM I RAISED THIS THAT. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE LAST GOAL ENTRANCE CONNECTIVITY ARE ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY. TWO OF YOU RAISED THAT AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL TO YOU PUT IT TOWARDS THE TAIL END. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE TOP GOAL THERE DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE QUALITY OF LIFE WAS SPREAD ACROSS THE EVERYBODY HAD THE THOUGHTS ABOUT WHERE THAT SHOOK OUT. SO I'LL GO BACK TO THIS POINT. THEN. UM, ARE YOU ARE YOU OKAY WITH THOSE AS YOUR TOP TWO PRIORITIES RECOGNIZING AND LET ME LET ME SUGGEST THIS AS A WAY AS WELL? SOMETIMES WHAT WE DO IS WHIP. WE COUNCILS WHEN THEY GO THROUGH, SAYING WE'RE GOING IDENTIFY OUR TOP PRIORITIES, THEN WHAT WE OFTEN WILL DO IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DELINEATE IT, SAYING THOSE WHO GOT LOWER VOTES KIND OF INTERMEDIATE GOALS AND THOSE WHO GOT REALLY LOW VOTES OR LONG TERM GOALS. SO IT DOESN'T MEAN IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT. YOU'RE JUST NOT GOING TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME ON THAT. THAT WAY. YOU'VE GOT SOME PERCENT OF SO I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY ONLY THOSE TWO ITEMS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT. I'M JUST SAYING, MAYBE THOSE ARE YOUR SHORT TERM AND HIGHEST PRIORITIES THAN INTERMEDIATE PRIORITIES IN THE LOWER PRIORITIES WITHIN YOUR PRIORITIES. IF THAT GIVES YOU SOME COMFORT ABOUT THEIR STILL STAYING ON YOUR SHEET AND THE BERRIES POINT, IT GIVES THEM SOME DIRECTION ABOUT ALRIGHT. SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO FALL IN THAT MIDDLE TIER. I MEAN, ONE OTHER OBSERVATION IS IT'S THESE AREN'T NECESSARILY EXCLUSIVE OF EACH OTHER. RIGHT? SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS, DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN CITY MCKINNEY THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT ONE SORT OF IN THIRD PLACE, BUT THAT'S NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST TWO. YOU KNOW, BEFORE GREEK AFFORDABLE RECREATIONAL CULTURAL ARTS ACTIVITIES FOR AGES FOR ALL AGES AND DEVELOPED PARK STRATEGY TO PRESERVE GREEN SPACE FOR FUTURE PARKLAND. THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY EXCLUDE. DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE CITY. MCKINNEY SO WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S SOME. YOU KNOW, OVER OVERLAP AND SOME OF THESE THINGS, BUT ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. LIKE BARRY MENTIONED, MAYBE THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE IS THE LOWEST TOO. THAT ARE THERE
[00:40:04]
MAJOR. IS THERE HEARTBURN WITH THOSE TWO THAT TOOK THE LOWEST SCORES. I MEAN GREEN INITIATIVES. YOU KNOW, WE WANT. YOU KNOW IF THAT'S NOT AS BIG A PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL, AND WE NEED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW BASED ON LINE HERE. THAT'S RIGHT. SO IS THERE ANYBODY WHO HAS HEARTBURN WITH THAT? BECAUSE AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT DOING THESE THINGS.ALL OF THESE ARE IMPORTANT, BUT IT MAY NOT BE AS IMPORTANT AS SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS YOU'RE TELLING US. YOU'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON REMARKED THAT THE THIRD ONE TO CONTINUE TO MARKET AND HIGHLIGHT MCKINNEY'S UNIQUE DESTINATION. YOU KNOW THERE'S MARKETING AND THEN THERE'S DOING , YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE REST OF THEM HAVE TO DO WITH ACTUALLY DOING STUFF. AND IF YOU THINK YOU DO IT, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF ENERGY AND MARKETING IT AND IT ALSO STRUCK ME WHEN LOOKING AT THAT IS THAT THAT'S REALLY WHAT VISIT MCKINNEY DOES. AND SO I'M NOT REALLY CONVINCED THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT VERY MUCH. AND AS FAR AS THE SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE THOSE WORDS CAN JUST WHIP SAW YOU IN. THE THINGS YOU KNOW IS AS FAR AS AGENDA SCOPE, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I THINK ARE GOOD IDEAS THAT YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO DO AND WE NEED TO BE GOOD STEWARDS, SO I DON'T I DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE HIM BY SAYING I WANT TO I LOOKING TO MITIGATE THE REAL CONCERN THERE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO JUST GET WHIPSAWED BY WHATEVER THE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION IS DE JURE OUT THERE AND BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE SMART BECAUSE WE USE UP RESOURCES AND THINGS DO BECOME MORE SCARCE. THEY JUST DO BECOME MORE SCARCE AND SO HAVING RECYCLING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ARE GOOD IDEA AND REUSING STUFF. AND AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING STUDY IN OUR OVERALL STRATEGY WITH RESPECT TO WASTE. MANAGEMENT WASTE AVOIDANCE. UM AND WILL BE PROBABLY COMING TO THE COUNCIL WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FOR AN RFP FOR WASTE HAULING SERVICES, INCLUDING MM. RECYCLING SERVICES THAT'S COMING. THAT MAY VERY WELL BE YOUR GREEN INITIATIVE. I MEAN, THE RECYCLING COMPONENT OF THAT COULD BE A MAJOR MAJOR CHANGE AND HOW WE APPROACH IT.
AND SO JUST BECAUSE IT MAY BE A RELATIVELY LOWER PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL. YOU CAN MAKE A MAJOR MAJOR IMPACT. HOWEVER WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU WITH THE RECOMMENDATION ON MOVING FORWARD WITH RECYCLING AND WASTE HOLDING TYPE OF SERVICES AND. YOU KNOW THAT TAKES CARE OF IT AND THAT SENSE YOU'RE IN LARGE PART. SO YEAH, LET ME COMPRESS OR SOMETHING THAT'S UNDERWAY. IT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN JUST BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT YOUR WASTE HAULING CONTRACT IS GOING TO EXPIRE TOO FAR OUT OF THAT ONE. LET ME CONTRAST. IT'S SOMETHING IN HERE. THERE'S THE PRIORITY OF DOING SOMETHING FOR ALL AGES, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY COOL.
YOU KNOW, WE, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR OF WHAT WE SAW, AND WE SAW DOWN PAST WITH HERE, GET ALL HOT AND BOTHERED ABOUT HAVE GOT A SENIOR LIVING PLACE AND USE YOUR PARKS AND I GOT TO PULL HERE AND I WANT TO BREAK FOR THAT THE SENIORS OUGHT TO HAVE STUFF THAT YOU CAN DO. I'VE GOT MY LITTLE GRANDDAUGHTER WHO, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE BONNIE WINK BECAUSE THERE'S STUFF THAT A LITTLE TWO YEAR OLD CAN DO THERE AND HAVE A HELL OF A GOOD TIME. SO IF WE HAVE TO CHOOSE IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE AND ONLY HOW I FEEL THE SURVEY OUT IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR SPECTRUM OF ALL AGES VERSUS SOMETHING THAT MEETS THE ADJECTIVE OF SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN. I'M GOING TO TAKE THE ALL AGES OVER THAT. OVER THE SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN. IT'S JUST SOMEWHAT LIKE A SOPHIE'S CHOICE . YEAH WHICH WHICH CHILD DO YOU SAVE RIGHT? UNDERSTANDING LAYER ? UM WELL, IS THERE I HEARD A CONVERSATION. DO YOU WANT TO DROP ONE OF THESE PRIORITIES? AH THAT CONTINUE TO MARKET HIGHLIGHT MCKINNEY. IT'S OBVIOUSLY I DROPPED THAT. IS THERE A CONSENSUS TO TAKE THAT ONE OFF THE OFF THE LIST? MARKETING AH, THE THIRD ONE. I'M SORRY. THE THIRD ONE KNOWING THAT YOU DO AND VISIT MCKINNEY.
DOING ANY WORK WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ON SOME OF THIS, BUT OKAY, SO I'M HEARING DROPPED THAT ONE. UM. I DON'T KNOW. I'M HEARING CONSENSUS TO MOVE ON DROPPING THE GREEN. YEAH IT JUST LEAVE IT ON. IT'S JUST A LOWER PRIORITY. AND IF YOU GET TOO FAR OUT OF SOME OF YOUR OTHER FACE MAKES SENSE. WHAT YOU MAY WANT TO DO IS CHANGE THE WORDING ON GREEN INITIATIVES. SAYS PROMOTES SUSTAINABILITY BACK CREATING GREEN INITIATIVE ACTUALLY, WE
[00:45:04]
WANTED PROMOTE GREEN INITIATIVES. WE WANTED PEOPLE COMING IN, AND WE GOT GREEN BUILDINGS WE GOT JUST CHANGE YOUR CREATING PROMOTED SO WHAT'S THE WORD IN YOUR SUGGESTING CHANGES CREATING TO PROMOTING PROMOTING PROMOTES SUSTAINABILITY. PROMOTE PROMOTE GREEN INITIATIVES IS WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING THERE. FIRST PROMOTER JUST.SOMETIMES YOU SEE THEIR WORD SUSTAINABILITY. IT MEANS IT'S A BROADER, BROADER GOAL, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE AS MUCH ABOUT HOT BUTTON ITEM TO IT. MORE. GREEN I THINK THAT TREE HUNDREDS. I THINK OF EVERYTHING THAT I DON'T LIKE. UM, BUT WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE MHM.
THE OTHER SIDE, BUT I JUST THE WORD GREEN BOTHERS THEM SO UM I'M NOT STUPID. THAT GET A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. THROWS UP. JUST WOULDN'T AVAILABLE. I'M NOT TRUSTEE FOR COUNSELOR ROGERS. BUT LIKE I SAID, THE WORD GREEN GETS WEAPONIZED AS TWO. OH, HERE'S MY AGENDA DEPARTMENT CALLED GREEN AND YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH ME PRIORITY SO, SO THEORETICALLY. THEN WE CAN WEAPONIZE IT BY SAYING, WELL, WE'RE DEFINING WHAT'S GREEN SO IT'S A SEMANTIC THING. I DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO DOING IT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A HOT BUTTON WORD AND THAT EVERYONE'S GOING TO LOOK AT AND EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS. TRUE TRUE CONSENSUS HERE, LET'S FIGURE LET'S FIND ANOTHER COLOR THAT WORKS. OKAY UM, WHAT I'M HERE IS SAY IS MAYBE STAFF THINKS ABOUT THAT ONE. AND WE MIGHT CHANGE THAT CHANGE THE WORDING IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT RAISED THERE. BUT THERE IS CONSENSUS ON DROPPING THE MARKETING SO WE CAN AT LEAST TAKE ONE OF THOSE OFF THE LIST, RIGHT? OKAY? UM. BUT GOING BACK TO THE OTHER. OBVIOUSLY THIS ONE SPREAD OUT A LITTLE BIT. YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE MORE GOALS TO IDENTIFY. BUT YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE TOP TWO GOALS IN TERMS OF PRIORITY. TOP TWO PRIORITIES. EXCUSE ME. GOOD, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WALK THROUGH THIS OKAY, NUMBER SIX SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY. THIS IS LARGELY YOUR PUBLIC SAFETY OPERATIONS. YOU HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES IN THIS IN RECENT YEARS AS WELL. UM THIS ONE'S KIND OF SPREAD ACROSS THE BOOKS AS WELL . OTHER THAN CLEAR, CLEAR DIRECTION AS IT RELATES TO YOUR HIGHEST PURSUE AND MAINTAIN LOW CRIME RATES IN COMPARISON TO OTHER COMMUNITIES. AND THEN WE'RE IN A OR NOT. TIE WITH REGARDS TO CONTINUALLY INCREASE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENTS AND MAINTAIN MEANINGFUL PUBLIC SAFETY PERFORMANCE MEASURES. ANOTHER TO ACTUALLY GOT SOME STRONG VOTES AS WELL. SO OBVIOUSLY CLEAR CONSENSUS 32 AND ONE WITH REGARDS TO LOW CRIME RATES. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. UM THEN THIS ONE IS SPREAD ACROSS. TWO OF YOU HAD IDENTIFIED AS HIGHEST PRIORITY THREE ANOTHER ONE AS THE SECOND HIGHEST PRIORITY, AND THEN THEY KIND OF SHIFTED FROM THERE. TRY TO THINK AND THEN ALSO ON OR SOME OTHER MM SPREAD ACROSS THE BOARD ON OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES UP SO SORRY. SO I WANT TO GO BACK TO THOSE YOUR VOTES. YOU OKAY? WITH THOSE AS YOUR TOP PRIORITIES. WITHIN. PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNITY SAFETY.
OKAY? OKAY? QUESTIONS. SOME STAFF IT GETS GOOD. ALL RIGHT, ROCK AND ROLL IN HERE, SO WE DON'T NEED A BREAK YET. I DON'T THINK AT THIS STAGE, BUT LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW STUFF SO THAT DROPPED AT LEAST ONE WE GOT. WE GOT ONE DOWN. UM ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS QUESTION NUMBER SEVEN. IN THE SURVEYS THAT YOU COMPLETED AND I'M GOING TO JUST REFOCUS YOU THE WAY IT WORKED OUT. THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES ARE ON THE RIGHT AND THE LOWEST PRIORITY THAT LEFT THAT'S ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU JUST DID IN YOUR PREVIOUS ONE. SO THEY WERE RANK ORDERS. BUT THIS ONE LOOKS DIFFERENT. SO WE'LL TRY TO KEEP YOU FOCUSED ON THE SURVEY.
CHANGED BETWEEN THE TWO. WE'RE SELLING MADE INADVERTENTLY. I'M GOING TO REFER TO TRAVEL BECAUSE HE SET THE SURVEY. SO I THINK I'M GONNA BE INTERFERING WITH YOUR LAPEL MIKES AND JUST TAKE A
[00:50:01]
LOOK. OKAY WITH THAT. UM YES, YOU HAD YOUR FIRST SECTION WAS THE CURRENT PRIORITIES GOALS AND THEN YOU CLICK NEXT IN THE NEXT SECTION WAS ALL OF THE OBJECTIVES PROJECTS ETCETERA.THE COUNCIL IDENTIFIED ON FEBRUARY 11TH. SCORING IS GOING CHANGE. SCORING WENT FROM 1 TO 51 BEING A LOWER PRIORITY FIVE BEING A HIGHER PRIORITY. THE OTHER ONES. WHERE IF YOU HAVE FIVE PRIORITIES YOU HAD ONE THROUGH FIVE. OR IF YOU HAD FOUR WAS ONE THROUGH FOUR. YEAH, I DON'T REMEMBER. IF YOU MADE THAT CONSCIOUS SHIFT, YEAH, LOOKING AT THE SCORES LOOKING AT THE SCORES. IT LOOKS LIKE MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THINGS THAT BUBBLE TO THE TOP. SEEMED TO BE THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD ANTICIPATE BUBBLING TO THE TOP. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HIGHEST SCORED ITEM WAS PURSUED A FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE BILL FUNDING UM AND THEN AS WE GO ALONG THE.
LOWEST SCORED ITEM WAS HIGHLIGHTS SUCCESS STORIES ARISING FROM OUR INTERNAL INNOVATION ACADEMY, WHICH IS KIND OF A VERY NICHE THING. I WOULD CONCUR WITH THAT. BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A CHANCE TO YOU'LL SEE YOUR, YOU KNOW, SEE THE SCORING AND YOU HAD A CHANCE TO ADDRESS IT. BUT AS I AS I WALKED AWAY FROM THE FEBRUARY 11TH MEETING, I HAD THE SAME IMPRESSION. I THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE CAPTURED THAT. DOUG IF YOU DON'T MIND US ONE OTHER ITEM IS DOUG HAS A TITLE HERE EXISTING PILLARS, PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES. IT'S MY VIEW MY VIEW ALONE FOR NOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL TALK ABOUT OUR SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OR PROJECTS. UM I THINK THERE MAY BE ONE OR TWO THINGS THAT CAN BUBBLE UP TO A PRIORITY, WHICH WE JUST WENT THROUGH FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND VERY LITTLE. THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE SIX PILLARS ON THE WALL. BUT I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT CONTEXT. I THINK THE ONLY ONE THAT DEALT WITH PILLARS WAS ABOUT POTENTIALLY ADDING SUSTAINABILITY, AND THAT RANKED LOWER, BUT WELL, I'VE GOT ALONG THE CHART SO WE CAN AT LEAST TALK THROUGH IT. BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. MOST OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE MORE OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES. THEY COME FORWARD. SO I DON'T HAVE THESE SET UP AS RED GREEN BLUES OR GREENS AND ORANGES BECAUSE THIS IS A SENSE FOR YOU TO START TO SEE, BUT CLEARLY SIX OF YOU IDENTIFIED PURSUIT OF FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. THAT'S PRETTY STRONG STATEMENT. THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THAT'S THE HIGHEST ADDITIONAL THING THAT YOU WANTED TO INCORPORATE. SO THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES, I'VE YOU THAT, BUT I'M GOING TO REFER BACK TO STAFF . I VIEW THAT AS FALLING UNDER ONE OF YOUR EXISTING, UM, PRIORITIES WANT TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE THAT FALLS BEST UNDER BUT BECOMING AN OBJECTIVE OF THE ORGANIZATION THAT THERE WILL BE TRACKING WHICH GRANTS ARE GOING AFTER OR WHATEVER THAT PROGRAM STARTS TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE, SO I THINK THAT IS MORE OF AN OBJECTIVE THAN A PRIORITY. BUT THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DETERMINE IF YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. BY SILENCE. I'M ASSUMING YES. OKAY? UM THESE ARE SET UP RESHUFFLED THESE FROM THE THOSE THAT GOT THE HIGHEST WEIGHTED AVERAGE TO THE LOWEST OR JUST WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THIS, SO THESE ARE THE TOP AREAS, AGING INFRASTRUCTURE ADDRESS, AGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND FINANCING NEEDS. I KNOW WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THAT. AT THE FEBRUARY 11TH SESSION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. I KNOW YOU. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A WORKSHOP WITH REGARDS TO MAYBE HAVING A SALES TAX PLEDGE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S OCCURRED YET OR THAT'S STILL IN THE MAKING. BUT CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE ALL GETTING YOUR ARMS AROUND US A DEAL, ESPECIALLY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT, NOT JUST PAYING FOR THE NEW STUFF. IT'S EASY TO PAY FOR THE NEW STUFF, TO SOME EXTENT WITH GRANTS AND THAT THE FIRST ITEM MIGHT ADDRESS THAT. BUT HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN THE STUFF YOU'VE GOT? AND SO I VIEW THIS AS AS YOU CAN SEE THREE OF YOU POLISH YOUR HIGHEST. TWO OF YOU PUT IT AS YOUR SECOND HIGHEST AND THEN ONE IS THE THIRD HIGHEST. UM, PRETTY CLEAR CONSENSUS THAT THAT WOULD ALSO BE AN OBJECTIVE THAT THE STAFF WOULD BE WORKING ON THIS YEAR. MAKES SENSE. FINE. OKAY YOU WANNA TURN YOUR MIC ON? I THINK THAT'S WHAT YEAH, THIRD ONE BEING HIGHER THAN THE FOURTH ONE. I UNDERSTAND THE BREAKING AND SCORING PROCESS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW AS PRIORITY SECOND HIGHEST PRIORITY, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT FURTHER EXPLAINING LOT. HOW BEING A. NUMBER OF FOUR FOR EVERYONE. WITH EXCEPTION, ONE BEING A FIVE NOW I KNOW IN THE WAY THAT IT SCORED AND WEIGHTED IT FALLS BELOW THE THIRD. BUT IS IT REALLY BELOW THE THIRD? TO EVERYBODY HERE. I WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT IT WAS EVEN ON THE SURVEY NUMBER THREE. YEAH I MEAN, BECAUSE I'LL VOLUNTEER TO MAKE THE PHONE CALL THE VOLUNTEER MCKINNEY. WE CAN TAKE IT OFF. I AGREE. YEAH, IT'S IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S NOT ANY YEAH, EVENT, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT SO I THINK THAT
[00:55:03]
IS PRIORITY IS YEAH. THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF AN ANOMALY. FROM THIS POINT IT IS AND SO WHEN WE YOU KNOW, WE THIS WAS A GRAB BAG OF ALL THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT FEBRUARY 11TH WHAT WE CAN'T DO AND WHAT WE WERE UNABLE TO DO, NOR WOULD IT NECESSARILY BE OUR POSITION TO DO THAT? AT THIS STAGE? IT'S YOURS. IS WHAT'S THE RELATIVE MAGNITUDE OF THE ITEM? HOW HOW? WHAT STRATEGIC? WHAT'S TACTICAL? THIS IS CAN WE DO THAT RIGHT NOW? AND EVERYONE AGREED THAT WE REMOVE NUMBER THREE AND CHARLIE MAKE THAT PHONE CALL. YEAH THANKS, CHARLIE. BECAUSE MONTANA WAS A HUGE IMPORTANCE IMPORTANT FOR MOBILITY AND THE REGION AND I THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY AS I SAID. WE JUST WE WANTED TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU. I AGREE WITH YOU. THAT'S A THAT'S A ONE. YOU KNOW. ONE PHONE CALL ISSUE TAKES IT OFF THEIR PLATE HERE. THERE WILL BE OTHER ONES LIKE THAT ON THIS LIST, YOU KNOW, JUST, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND THAT WE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE WEIGHT OR RELATIVES BUT THAT'S A QUICK ONE. THE SECOND THE THIRD ONE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO NOW MOVE THAT UP INTO A PRIORITY. EXPAND LAND. UM LAA PARKWAY. EXCUSE ME. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A LONGER TERM, LONGER FINANCES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE , BUT CLEARLY STRONG CONSENSUS THERE IS THE MAYOR IDENTIFIED AS WELL SO THAT WOULD BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY HIGHER PRIORITY. OF THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO ADD, OKAY? ALL RIGHT. AVERAGE FOUR SETS. SET ASIDES. THIS WAS ON YOUR HOUSING. A LOT OF YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS. I WAS I WAS ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW THIS WAS GOING TO SHAKE OUT. UM BECAUSE WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BOTH IN THE ADVANCED INTERVIEWS AND AT THE SESSION WE HAD IN FEBRUARY. SO COMING OUT OF THAT WAS A DESIRE. DO WE SEND A BOGEY? DO YOU SET A NUMBER THERE, AND MOST OF YOU FELT AT LEAST INCLINED TO DO SOMETHING TO THAT EXTENT, NOT NECESSARILY THE HIGHEST, BUT TO GO FORWARD. SO IS THAT LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT . IS THAT SOMETHING THAT LIKE STAFF TO COME BACK AND INCORPORATE INTO YOUR PRIORITY WITH A CERTAIN BOGEY OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS? NO THAT WAS ONE COMMENTS THAT I HAD MADE NOT THINK IT'S THE EASIEST DIRECTIVE THAT WE COULD MAKE ORDER TO START ESTABLISHING WORKFORCE HOUSING. I DO HAVE CONCERNS ON HOW WE WOULD POLICE THAT GOING INTO THE FUTURE, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE WILL DISAGREE WITH ME THAT WE'VE SEEN MORE APPLICATIONS FOR MULTI FAMILY AND MCKINNEY THAN IN THE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY AND. WE DON'T HAVE HOUSING THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR THE GUY WHO WORKS AT ONE OF MURDERING AND THAT IS LEAST IN MY OPINION. THE QUICKEST WAY WE CAN GET SOME OF THAT AVAILABLE AND I DON'T. ALTHOUGH I'M ALL FOR THE LAND BANKING IDEAS, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE FOR IN THE FUTURE, AT LEAST IN MY OPINION THAT YOU CAN NOT ACCOMPLISHED QUICKLY. AND THIS WOULD GIVE US THE QUICKEST. UM DON'T WANT TO SAY WHERE HOUSE BUT INDEX. AVAILABILITY. SURE WORKFORCE HOUSING IF WE WERE TO IMPLEMENT THAT, AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY ENOUGH TO BUILD THOSE PROJECTS AND MCKINNEY THAT THEY COULD GIVE A LITTLE SOMETHING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. 100% I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE US FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING, BUT IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT MARKET, SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY INTENTIONAL. ABOUT HOW WE ADDRESS THE ISSUE, AND I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS WE CAN DO THAT. I WOULD REMARK THAT IT SEEMS TO ME IS THE NEW GUY AND I COULD BEGIN MY NUMBERS MIXED UP, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING GIVEN TO US THAT SAID. HISTORICALLY, MCKINNEYS HAD. 1.25 RESIDENTS IN WORKFORCE HOUSING FOR EVERY 100 RESIDENTS IN MCKINNEY. ARE SISTER CITIES ARE IN THE STATE. IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE ONE FOR EVERY 100. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT 1.6. NOW IF I'M WRONG ABOUT WHAT I JUST SAID, I APOLOGIZE. THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING, BUT IT GIVES ME A GOOD IDEA TO SAY. WHERE ARE WE RELATIVE TO YESTERDAY? BECAUSE WE GET WE CAN GET PUSHED BACK FROM CITIZENS SAYING ALL YOU'RE DOING IS BUILDING WORKFORCE HOUSING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO HAVING A TRACKING MECHANISM IN THERE FOR WHERE HAVE WE BEEN? WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW? I THINK IS VERY VALUABLE. UM AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND EVALUATE THESE THINGS, BECAUSE IT'S TOUGH TO DO WITHOUT THAT. BEING THE THING THAT I'M I'M WEARY OF HIM, AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT. OH IF WE PUT IN WORK FOR US HOUSING, WE'RE JUST GOING[01:00:05]
TO GET APPROVED AND WE'RE JUST GONNA GET MORE AND MORE, UM, MULTI FAMILY HOUSING. SO SO THAT'S MY CONCERN DOING THAT. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. I JUST DON'T WANT BUILDERS TO COME AND THINK. OH, I CAN JUST THROW IN SOME WORKFORCE HOUSING. THEY'RE GOING TO APPROVE IT, AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A SLAM DUNK AND EASY AND I DON'T WANT THAT REPUTATION IS EITHER I MEAN, I STILL WANT TO MAINTAIN JUST KIND OF THAT THE BRAKES THAT WE'VE KIND OF PUT ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. AND DON'T THINK THAT OH, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S FINE TO PUT HIS REQUIREMENT. I JUST WANT I DON'T WANT TO THINK THAT SINCE WE HAVE IT, WE'RE GOING TO PROVE IT. THAT'S MY ISSUE AND THEN IS NOT AN INVITATION TO APPLY FOR MULTI FAMILY AND MCKINNEY, RIGHT. EXACTLY. YEAH BUT I FOR ME, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF A REQUIREMENT OF ALL PROJECTS COMING IN TO HAVE A WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT WHAT I'D LIKED WHAT WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON BEFORE IS CREATING INCENTIVES FOR DEVELOPERS. UM WHERE, FOR EXAMPLE, CHARLESTON IT WAS ONE OF THINGS THEY DID IS THERE WOULD BE A HIGH CONCESSION OR OR A DENSITY CONCESSION OR SOME SOME CONCESSION THAT INCENTIVIZED DEVELOPER THAT'S GOING TO BUILD CLASS A STUFF TO INCORPORATE A SET ASIDE OF WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS IN THERE , AND IN EXCHANGE HE WAS DOING THAT BECAUSE IT GAVE HIM SOMETHING. SOME BENEFIT, WHETHER AGAIN OR DENSITY. MAYBE IT'S AN ADDITIONAL HEIGHT, BUT JUST TO SAY BLANKETLY THAT ALL MULTI FAMILY PROJECTS SHOULD HAVE SET ASIDES FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING. WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING I'D BE IN FAVOR OF. I THINK THERE'S PROJECTS THAT THAT'S NOT A GOOD FIT. I YEAH, THE PROJECT GOING ON IT ON THE WEST SIDE OF HARDEN AND VIRGINIA, FOR EXAMPLE, THE NOT NOT WHEN IT WAS JUST APPROVED THE OTHER THAT'S THAT'S NOT A GOOD FIT FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING. ME I WOULD RATHER PURSUE SOMETHING WHERE THERE'S WE HAVE AN INCENTIVE. TO INCORPORATE IT, BUT NOT FORCE IT. SO WE'RE STAFF IS IN THE PROCESS, OF COURSE, PUTTING A PROGRAM LIKE THAT TOGETHER, SO IT'S IN. THIS IS FROM PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD THE COUNCIL SAID YES, THAT'S ONE STRATEGY AMONG A NUMBER. IN TERMS OF SETTING THE EXPECTATION, I WOULD JUST SAY. YOU'RE SURELY GOING TO HEAR FROM DEVELOPERS WHO COME FORWARD WITH A PROJECT. AND EVEN IF WE HAVE AN INCENTIVE TO MAKE SURE WE ALIGN THE INCENTIVES SO THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE DECENT INCENTIVES THAT THEIR INCENTIVES THAT WILL ACTUALLY INDUCE THEM TO DO IT. UM WHAT YOU'LL HAVE IS A DEVELOPER WILL SAY, HERE'S OUR PERFORMER. BASED AT MARKET RENTS , AND IF YOU HAVE A SET ASIDE 10% OF OUR UNITS AT 60% AM I OR 70% AMY, YOU 80% ISN'T REALLY ARE WE NEED SOMETHING LOWER. WE NEED SOMETHING AROUND. 60. AM I, UM YEAH. AND. IF YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO SAY HERE'S THE GAP. HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE COSTING US BY REQUIRING US TO DO THIS. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THAT UP AND THAT I GUARANTEE YOU IT'S GOING TO BE A FREQUENT CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE SO DENSITY CREDITS CREDITS. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT PART DEDICATION FEE, GETS A WAIVER OR GETS A PORTION OF WAIVER FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO MAYBE SOME PORTION OF THAT IT WILL BE AT PLAY. BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT IS HOW DO THEY MAKE THE PERFORMER HOW THEY FILL THE GAP IN ABOUT BORING? UM AND YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S A CHALLENGE. WE'VE SEEN THAT ALREADY. IT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T DO IT. OF COURSE, I THINK WE CAN COME UP WITH THE RIGHT BALANCE OF INDUCEMENTS. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF, AND JUST MAKE SURE.WELL, YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE SET. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THAT. FROM FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, AND I THINK THAT'S GOOD. I THINK I THINK THE MAYOR HAD SAID AS FAR AS JUST CREATING THOSE IS THAT IT WAS IT'S GREAT NOT PUTTING THEM IN STONE SAYING YOU HAVE TO I CAN. I CAN GO ALONG WITH THAT. SO I'M GONNA BROUGHT THIS SLIDE BACK UP BECAUSE THIS IS THE PRIORITY THAT THE GOAL AREA AND THE PRIORITY THAT THIS ONE FITS UNDER ITS NUMBER C PROVIDE A STRONG CITY ECONOMY, CREATING A GLOBAL HOUSING STRATEGY, FACILITATING A BALANCED INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND OPEN SPACE. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU AND TO STAFF IS THAT PRIORITY THE WAY IT'S WORDED, OKAY? AND THEN STAFF DEVELOPED SUBJECTIVE AS IT RELATES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO SAY. HERE'S OUR STRATEGY AS IT RELATES TO A BOGEY AND THE WAY IN WHICH WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT THROUGH INCENTIVES AND PROGRAMS OF THAT NATURE. IS THAT WHERE THE COUNCIL IS THAT OR IS THERE A DESIRE TO CHANGE YOUR PRIORITY STATEMENT TO REFLECT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU HAVE? AND THERE'S NO RIGHT ANSWER. THIS IS REALLY WHEREVER YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. BUT IT'S CLEARLY
[01:05:03]
GOING TO FALL UNDER THIS GOAL IN THIS PRIORITY. LANGUAGE TO ME LOOKS FINE. OKAY THAT GIVES THE FLEXIBILITY I THINK THAT I HEARD BOTH YOU AND READY SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT ALL PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE EQUAL. SOME THINGS MAY NOT HAVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING. BUT LET'S TRY TO TRACK SOMETHING AND LET'S INCENTIVIZE THOSE SO THAT IT'S NOT STARTLE EXPLOSION OF MULTI FAMILY APARTMENTS. WE'RE SAYING. I AGREE. OKAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THE PRIORITY THE WAY IT IS. STAFF GOING TO DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE UNDERNEATH THAT THAT WILL TRACK BOTH BOGEYS NUMBER THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GET AS WELL AS THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS, OKAY? TEND TO WHERE WE WERE HERE. INCREASE THE HEAT IN HERE. AND COLD. WOULD YOU LIKE THAT AS OBJECTIVE OR JULY? PRIORITY GO WELL, NO. WITH ME HERE, HOUSE. OKAY? SERVICE THE NEXT ONE OUT, THEN. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. NEXT ONE THAT GOT SOME ATTENTION. FOCUS ON EAST WEST CONNECTORS AND SPECIFICALLY A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF SOME PROJECTS THERE AS WELL. UM 22 AND TWO SO PRETTY STRONG SENSE THERE. THIS IS GOING TO BE. YOU THINK THAT WANT TO TALK THROUGH ON THAT, OR YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE? THE TWO PROJECTS THAT YOU WANTED TO IDENTIFY THAT THEY WOULD BE TRACKING OR IS THERE CLARITY ON WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? ON THAT PARTICULAR STATEMENT. IT'S FASCINATING THAT WE DIDN'T THAT THERE'S VERY FEW 11 AND TWO IS THAT IT'S JUST&-PF THESE. IT'S STILL IT STAYS IN THE FIRST THREE. I LOOK AT THIS ONE AS WELL WITH ON THE FIRST PAGE A LOT OF HOW PARKWAY THOSE ARE THREE EAST WEST CONNECTORS IN THE NORTHWEST SECTOR. WE COULD PUT THAT AS A PRIORITY THAT WOULD HELP US IT HELPS INFORM STAFF ON WHERE TO PUT THE DOLLARS. SO RATHER THAN GOING DOWN AND BUILDING WHATEVER IT'S CALLED STONE BRIDGE NORTH OF 3 80 IMPORTANT AS A STRATEGIC GOAL TO BUILD THE EAST WEST CONNECTORS. THE ARTERIALS. SO NO WORDS. I'M SORRY BARRIERS, SAYING THAT THE LAST ONE LOUD HOWL AND THEN PARALLEL. CAN PROVIDE. AND THEY MAY VERY WELL FALL UNDER PURSUIT OF FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS TO YOU KNOW THE AREA, SO OKAY, SO WHAT I'M THINKING THEN, AS MAYBE OBJECTIVE OF. EAST WEST CONNECTORS WITH IT. FURTHER OBJECTIVES BELOW AT ASU RELATES TO THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS. MAKES SENSE. OKAY, CAPTURE THAT SO EAST WEST. REST. SHOES.WAS IT LOUD? WHAT'S A LOUD WHAT ? OKAY, GOTCHA. LOUD AND THEN, UM, THE OTHER OTHER PROJECTS, OKAY. OKAY? OKAY? NOT. AH, UM. OKAY EVALUATE RECRUITMENT AND COMPENSATION FOR CITY STAFF.
SAME SCORE WAR 22 AND TWO IN THE AREA. SO, UM. THIS IS GOING TO FALL UNDER YOUR QUALITY OF YOUR WHAT YOU CALL IT OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AREA. UM I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE WHETHER THAT'S A CLASSIC COMP STUDY. YOU KNOW, MARKET ANALYSIS ADJUSTMENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT STAFF COMFORTABLE WITH BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY OF OURS TOO. WE'RE I THINK WE'RE COMPLETE LINE UP THERE. WE DO COMPENSATION STUDIES ABOUT EVERY TWO YEARS. I THINK, UM AND OBVIOUSLY WITH AN INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT AND A TIGHT LABOR MARKET. IT'S EVEN MORE PRESSING. OKAY I'M HEARING PRETTY STRONG, PRETTY STRONG DIRECTION FROM FROM THE COUNCIL ON THIS AND AS WELL OKAY. THIS NEXT ONE MAY VERY WELL BE ONE OF THOSE THAT IS MORE OF A CONVERSATION. IT MAY NOT SHAKE OUT TO BE OBJECTIVE, BUT THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY ENOUGH SUPPORT THERE TO TALK ABOUT IF THE CITY SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN TRYING TO DO EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS AND
[01:10:02]
WHETHER THAT'S YOURS, WHETHER THAT'S SOME OTHER ENTITY THAT DOES THAT OR ACCOMMODATION THERE IN BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY SCORED , YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO WAR, OVERALL 3.83 SO SOMETHING THAT I THINK YOU WANTED TO DO. I THINK STAFF WANTS TO KNOW IS THAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR WHAT? THAT YOU LIKE THEM TO DO. EVERY OKAY. OKAY, SO IT'S A TWO D. SO MAYBE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SIMILAR TO AND, UM SIMILAR TO THE INVITE VOLUNTEER MCKINNEY STAFF MAKING REQUESTS. TAKE IT OFF THE LIST, NOT MARK THAT IS DONE. THAT'S THAT'S INVOLVED THERE. OKAY BUT AT LEAST THROW SOME WAY BEHIND THE CITY TO SAY WE THINK THE MARKETING NEEDS TO BE PURSUED. OKAY? ALL RIGHT.FEDERAL PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT ASSIST FIRST TIME HOMEOWNERS AND CERTAIN ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED CODES AND MCKINNEY. 3.83 AS WELL. THINK IF I RECALL PATRICK, I THINK THIS WAS ONE THAT YOU HAD RAISED AS WELL. THIS COULD FALL UNDER OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING . YOU KNOW, EFFORTS AS WELL, MAYBE ANOTHER OBJECTIVE THERE. BUT. YEAH I MEAN, THERE ARE FEDERAL DOLLARS AVAILABLE FOR THIS. THOSE AREN'T GOING TO BE THERE FOREVER. WE HAVE STARTED HOUSING PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. IT JUST SEEMS TO ME TO BE A NO BRAINER TO AVAIL OURSELVES. THIS STRIKE WHAT THEY ARE AND IT'S HOT WHILE THE IRON EXISTS. TO USE FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR THAT IN CERTAIN. YOU KNOW, THIS WILL IN MY MIND, THE HOPE IS WILL MITIGATE THE NEED FOR MULTI FAMILY RENTALS IF WE CAN INCREASE YOU KNOW PEOPLE PURCHASING THEIR OWN HOME AND NOT USE MCKINNEY DOLLARS TO PAY FOR THAT. OKAY? MY GUESS IS THAT IT'S EASY FUNCTION, SOMETHING THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED IN. DO YOU? DO YOU HAVE A YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A SECTION EIGHT PROGRAM. YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE G. YES G PROGRAM THAT COVERS YOUR HOUSING. YES, AND IT IT IS.
CERTAINLY WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH ARTHRITIS CDBG FUNDS, WHICH ARE FEDERAL FUNDS, RIGHT? BUT THIS IS THIS IS SAYING THIS FIRST. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A IT'S A TARGETING A CERTAIN PROGRAM.
AND SO I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT THAT'S A CITY FUNCTION. TONIGHT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT NECESSARY FUNCTION. HERE'S HOW I THINK THIS COULD FALL UNDER AND I'LL LET STAFF REACT TO IT. SO UNDER YOUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, YOU KNOW, AS A PRIORITY, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A SERIES OF OBJECTIVES. YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT A BOGEY. THIS COULD BE ANOTHER WAY OF IDENTIFYING. THEN YOU GET A LOT OF PROBABLY ABOUT HOW DO YOU INCENTIVIZE PROJECTS TO ALLOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THIS COULD BE ANOTHER OBJECTIVE. TO AT LEAST HAVE SOME REVIEW OF WHAT PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE AS YOU'RE INTERFACING WITH YOUR HOUSING CONSTITUENTS THAT ARE INTERFACING WITH YOUR STAFF AND CDBG PROGRAMS TO SAY, DO YOU FALL INTO THIS ZIP CODE AND DO YOUR PHONE AND HE SAID, INCOME ELIGIBLE PROGRAMS THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE BUT I THINK IT GETS RELATED. I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK IT'S A PRIMARY FUNCTION NECESSARILY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING OR ANY, BUT, UM AM I ON TRACK WITH THAT, PAUL OR IS THAT THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU GUYS AND STAFF. THAT IT COULD BE JUST ANOTHER OBJECTIVE TO BE REVIEWED. AND THEN I TEND TO AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN ROGERS. I DID BRING THIS UP, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO SUCK A LOT OF OXYGEN OUT OF THE ROOM IN THE CITY STAFF BECAUSE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF MAKING THIS CONNECTIONS.
THERE'S A HEAVY APPETITE TO USE THOSE DOLLARS TO A LARGE EXTENT, IT IS THE PRIVATE SECTOR MORTGAGE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE IN THE LOOP ON THIS AND THAT'S JUST HAPPENING. SO YOU KNOW I CAN CERTAINLY LIVE WITH IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON. OKAY? ALL RIGHT.
AH UM, WRECK. I THINK YOU BROUGHT THIS ONE UP THE NEXT ONE ADDITIONAL CORPORATE CAMPUS IN THE NORTHWEST SECTOR. I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOURS AS WELL. ANYTHING YOU WANT ADVOCATE ON THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE IMPORTANT THAT JUST GOES BACK TO REMEMBER IT ONE TIME WHEN I WAS IN THE DC WE STUDIED WHERE THE NEXT CORPORATE CAMPUS WOULD BE. COURSE BACK THEN IT ENDED UP BEING IN CRAIG RANCH. BUT ITS SENIORS, THEY'RE FINISHED. UKRAINE GREENS. THEY'VE GOT SOME SOME WAY AND LEFT, BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, WE OUGHT TO FIND A PLACE WHERE WE CAN LOCATE A CORPORATE CAMPUS. AND MOST OF OUR UNDEVELOPED LANES IN THE SECTOR. AND SO THERE OUGHT TO BE A PLACE UP THERE THAT WE CAN GO AND ESTABLISHED TALKED TO THE LANDOWNERS. THERE'S SOME BIG
[01:15:03]
LANDOWNERS UP THERE. FIND A PLACE WHERE WE CAN CREATE A REALLY UNIQUE CORPORATE CAMPUS, OKAY? IT WAS JUST MY THANK YOU. AND THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT WE HAD THE CITY HAD SOME TARGETED AREAS, BUT THEY WEREN'T NECESSARILY THE SAME SIZE AND SCALE. THAT WAS MY RECOLLECTION OF THE CONVERSATION. SO ANY FEEDBACK FROM STAFF ABOUT WHAT SHE WOULD NEED TO DO AS AN OBJECTIVE TO ADDRESS THAT KIM'S NOT HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IDENTIFIES COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS AND COMMERCIAL AREAS. IT MAY BE A I DON'T KNOW. DESIGNATIONS PROBABLY THE WORD OF ONE OF THOSE AREAS TO BE THAT NEXT CORPORATE CAMPUS ALONG THE BYPASS OR ALONG WITH THE 3 80 BYPASS. IT CHANGES THE LANGUAGE PLAN IN THAT AREA, AND IT MAY BE A CASE OF WOULD SAY, SAID THE ALIGNMENT. HERE'S WHERE THAT COMMERCIAL CAMPUSES AND WE DESIGNATE IT AND IF IT IF WE GO THE SAME ROUTE THAT WE DID WITH CRAIG RANCH CORPORATE CENTER, THEN THERE MAY BE SOME INCENTIVES THAT CAPITAL, AND WITH THAT THEY GET SOMETHING INFRASTRUCTURE TO PRIME. THE PUMP FOR DEVELOPMENT. IS THERE JUST FOR CLARITY? IS THERE A SENSE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR COM PLANT AND AMENDMENTS AND UPDATES AND ALL THAT. IS THERE SOMETHING WOULD WOULD THIS GOAL OF A LARGER CORPORATE CAMPUS REQUIRE AN UPDATE TO YOUR COMP PLAN. DO YOU BELIEVE? AND I REALIZED I THINK SO. WOW. I THINK THERE WOULD BE AN UPDATE. IT WOULD PRIMARILY BE BECAUSE OF THE THREE BYPASS. WE AGREE CONFERENCING PLAN BEFORE THE BYPASS ALIGNMENT WAS SET. WE KNOW GENERALLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE, AT LEAST FROM LAKE FOREST. OVER 2 75. AND SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA WILL WE CAN LOOK AT THE DESIGNATION OF LAND, OKAY? SET GET YOU THERE. RICK ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL ON BOARD.GOTCHA. OKAY. UM PURSUE PROACTIVE PURCHASE OF LAND BY NBC AND CDC FOR FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. I'M SORRY TO ESCAPE NUMBER TWO. OH MY MISTAKE. I'M SORRY. YOU'RE RIGHT. UM BEAR WITH MY COFFEE ON CALL ON CALL CONTRACT RANSOM. I THINK EVERYBODY WAS GIVEN A THUMBS UP ON THAT ONE AT THE MEETING. BUT I WANT TO JUST SHOW HOW IT TOOK OUT IN TERMS OF YOUR VOTING AS WELL. UM AND MY RECOLLECTION. THIS WAS UNDER TREVOR'S APPROACH. IF SOMEBODY THAT'S AVAILABLE WITH ALL THE FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS ARE GOING TO COME FORWARD, JUST READY TO HIT WRAPPER ON HIS WORD, YOU GUYS SAID, AND WE JUST IT'S A BUDGET EMAIL. WHO DOES GRANT FUNDING RIGHT NOW INTERNALLY. IS THERE A PERSON THAT WE HAVE? JOHNNY'S GROUP HAS BEEN DOING IT. HISTORICALLY I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE SHIFTING THAT TO FINANCE BUT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE BUSY WITH THE R P. WE'VE KIND OF HELD OFF. SO JENNY'S GROUP HANDLES MOST OF OUR GRANTS ADMINISTRATION. THIS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT MORE GOING AFTER IT'S ALMOST LIKE A LOBBYIST ROLE, PROBABLY WORKING WITH. YEAH THIS IS MORE AKIN TO WHEN YOU ALL WERE FAMILIAR WITH SEEING ENGINEERING COMMENTS SAY ON CALL CONCRETE OR ON CALL DESIGN OR ON CALL ARCHITECTURE.
UM WE ARE ANTICIPATING BRINGING SOMETHING FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL. THAT'S ON CALL GRIM MANAGEMENT IN LIGHT OF NOT ONLY THE LARGE INFLUX OF FEDERAL MONEY AND STATE MONEY THAT'S BEEN MADE AVAILABLE, BUT THEN JUST THE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES WITHIN THE CITY WHERE MM. THOSE TYPES OF APPLICATION PROGRAMS BECOME VERY, VERY COMPLEX, AND WE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BENCH ON A CONTRACTUAL BASIS, SIMILAR TO HOW HE WOULD UM FROM AN ENGINEERING OR DESIGN STANDPOINT, WHILE YES, WE HAVE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS ON STAFF . WE DO A LOT OF CONTRACTUAL ENGINEERING WORK, SO IT'S KIND OF APPLES TO APPLES IN WHAT CONTRACT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION WOULD BE WE BRING IN A FIRM AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY WOULD BE APPLY AND THEN MANAGE THE GRANT PROCESS FOR US. IN TYPICAL. TYPICALLY THEY KNOW WHO TO TALK TO THEM. NO, YEAH. SO THAT WOULD BE A VERY UP BEING ADVOCATED FOR THAT. WHAT WE WANT TO JUST WHEN WE'RE JUST SCORING IT. UM YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF UNFAIR THING BECAUSE I THINK THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF FEEDBACK IN THERE. UM IF THE QUESTION WAS ASKED, AND WE WANT TO ENGAGE, UM THEY. A PERSON FIRM TO PURSUE GRANTS THAT ARE GOING TO REAP US TENFOLD, BUT WE'D BE ABLE TO DO OURSELVES. OF COURSE, YOUR ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY YES, BUT IT'S NOT WORDED THAT THAT'S THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE CONVERSATION TO TELL EXACTLY. IT'S JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE HIS CONVERSATION WITH STAFF AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE FINE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT FUNDS ARE COMING, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPERATIVE. WE HAVE THE GREATEST RESOURCES POSSIBLE TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL FOR THOSE FUNDS. BE HARD TO IMAGINE ANY SCENARIO WHERE EACH DOLLAR
[01:20:02]
SPENT IN THAT WOULD WOULDN'T RAPED MANY, MANY MANY DOLLARS. YEAH. AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE OBJECTIVES THAT MY FAULT FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT PILLARS. IT COULD FALL INTO YOUR AIRPORT. I KNOW WE HAD A NUMBER OF MY FORMER CITY WE HAD PROJECTS WERE JUST KIND OF IN THE HOPPER AND SOMEBODY IN F A PROJECT FAILED ANOTHER PART OF THE DISTRICT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE COULD JUMP INTO THAT SITUATION, BUT SHE HAD TO HAVE THE RESOURCES THAT THE DESIGN AND THE ENGINEERING BE ABLE TO PICK UP AND HAVE THE DOLLARS ON BOARD. SO UM, I REMEMBER THIS ONE GETTING A LOT OF ATTRACTION AND SUPPORT YOUR EXTENT. MAJOR YOUR MAYOR. YOUR COMMENT ABOUT YOU KNOW, IT MAY NOT HAVE SHAKEN UP. THIS IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S PRETTY STRONG CONSENSUS TO BE POISED FOR THAT. OKAY? TREVOR YOU'RE GOOD. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED THERE WOULD SAYS 3/8 REASON. VERY HIGH SCHOOL. WE STILL GOT ABOUT 20 OF THESE TO GO THROUGH. SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME LOWER SCORES AS WE PROGRESS. THIS LINES GET ABSOLUTELY UM THAT WAS A REALLYE TOP ONE. IT'S A REPEAT ON THAT. AH, THE DECK PARK PROJECT CAME UP.THEY'RE RIGHT. NO, I KNOW THAT. I KNOW THIS IS ONE OF YOUR TWO HIGHEST PRIORITIES WHERE YOU AND I HAD SPOKE BEFORE. SO YOU KNOW THIS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TALK AS A GROUP ABOUT WHERE THAT WHERE THAT SHAKES OUT? UH FAIRNESS ON THIS ONE. YOU KNOW, WE STALL ON INFORMATION AGAIN. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW EVALUATING THE FEASIBILITY. UM OPINIONS MAY CHANGE WHEN WE GET MORE OF THAT INFORMATION IN IF IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL SAYS, WOW, THAT'S GREAT AND IT'S AFFORDABLE AND YOU CAN COALESCE AROUND IT. THOSE TWOS AT THE LEVEL TO CHANGE AND IN FAIRNESS, YOU GO THE OTHER WAY. BUT IT IS STILL EARLY, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT THE FEASIBILITY OF IT. YEAH OUR CONSULTANT PROBABLY BE COMING BACK THEN THE NEXT MONTH, BELIEVE UM, WITH SORT OF A THEIR INITIAL FEASIBILITY LOOK AT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WHAT SOME OF THE OPTIONS ARE. SO THERE'S MORE TO FOLLOWING THIS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO PURSUE THAT, OF COURSE. ABSOLUTELY LOT OF OTHER INFORMATION. I MEAN, BECAUSE AGAIN IF YOU ASK ME IS IT IS A PRIORITY FOR ME. BUT IF YOU SAY TO ME HEY, ISN'T A PARTY BUT THERE'S NO DISCUSSION AND NO OPTIMISM THAT THIS COULD QUALIFY AS A FEDERALLY FUNDED 100% FEDERALLY FUNDED SOCIAL JUSTICE PROJECT, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO COME UP WITH $105 MILLION THEN, AS MUCH AS I WANTED TO HAVE AS MUCH AS I THINK AS THAT IT IS A LEGACY PROJECT FOR THIS COUNCIL, AND IT WILL BE A TRANSFORMATIVE OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRANSFORMATIVE. ERROR WE'RE GOING TO SEE OVER THERE. I WOULD SAY NO. IF YOU TELL ME THAT, AS I KNOW IT AGAIN JUST YESTERDAY AGAIN. ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL MORRIS SAID THAT THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY. THAT WE COULD GET THIS FEDERALLY FUNDED AND. AND DO THIS AND CREATE THIS AMENITY AT NO COST TO THE CITY.
THAT'S A THAT'S A DIFFERENT ANSWER. AND I BET YOU THAT IF IT WAS ASKED THAT WAY THAT WHOEVER THE TWO PUT IT IS NUMBER TWO WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. SO AGAIN, A LOT OF IT'S THERE'S A BENEFIT TO THIS, BUT THIS PROCESS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THESE THINGS THAT ABSENT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. YOU'RE HAVING TO MAKE RELATIVE JUDGMENTS ON IMPERFECT INFORMATION. AND THAT'S WHY WE SAID THAT THE SURVEY IS JUST THAT IT'S A DATA POINT, AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF FLUSH IT OUT LITTLE BIT MORE HERE, BUT UNDERSTAND THAT IN CASES LIKE THAT MORE INFORMATION IS GOING TO LIKELY MOVE THE COUNCIL ON THE ITEM AND AGAIN STAND BY ON THIS BECAUSE THERE'S MORE INFORMATION COMING VERY SOON. I REALLY THINK THERE'S A MEMBER ON THE COUNCIL WHO WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE THAT PROJECT COMPLETED BUT WE'RE HAMSTRUNG BECAUSE WE NEED OTHER AGENCIES INVOLVED. TEXT ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL GOVERNMENT SO EVEN IF WE MADE IT PARTY NUMBER ONE ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEED IT UP, BUT WE'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF IT. OR AT LEAST I THINK WE ARE AND I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO PUT ON LOWER. I PROBABLY WAS ALL JUST OWN IT. BUT YOU KNOW IN MY MIND, I KNOW OF ONE I KNOW OF CLYDE WARREN. I DON'T KNOW OF ANOTHER DOESN'T SEEM TO ME BASED ON THAT THAT IT'S VERY ACHIEVABLE. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF EMINENT DOMAIN WOULD HAVE TO GO ON FOR THE PROPERTIES RIGHT THERE ON HIGHWAY FIVE, SO I JUST DIDN'T SEE A PATH WHERE IT COULD. IT COULD BE REALISTIC.
BUT WITH THE MAYOR IS TELLING ME IS THAT THERE IS THAT PATH. I'M CERTAINLY HAVE AN APPETITE TO GO DOWN THAT PATH UNTIL IT YOU KNOW, BECOMES APPARENT THAT IT WOULD ALL FOLLOW IN THE CITY AND THEN YOU KNOW I'M WAY BACK DOWN, SO I DON'T HAVE AN APPETITE TO EXPLORE IT. IF WE'VE GOT IF WE
[01:25:03]
CAN ACCESS TO FUNDING FOR IT WITHOUT RELYING ON THE TAXPAYER, BECAUSE I DO THINK, AS COUNCILMAN, PHILLIPS SAID. THAT WOULD BE A REMARKABLE WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE SOMETHING. HE WAS ACHIEVABLE. I WOULDN'T BE PUSHING IT IF I HADN'T BEEN GIVEN THAT. THAT, UH OPTIMISM DRUNK. AND I RESPECT THAT. YOU AND I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT. SO I JUST WANT TO OWN WHERE I WAS COMING FROM ON THAT, BUT I FULLY RESPECT THAT. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY? MY SUSPICION IS THAT EVOLVED THIS YEAR, THERE'S NOTHING IN YOUR EXISTING 191 OBJECTIVES ON THIS ONE. SO THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT'LL SHAKE UP WITH THE FEASIBILITY STUDY AND, YOU KNOW, GRANT PROGRAMS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, SO OKAY. UM KIM HAD RAISED THIS POINT ABOUT ADJUSTING THE MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO THE E. T J. AND AS I RECALL, THE CONVERSATION WAS SOMETHING LIKE WE REALLY HAVEN'T MANAGED THAT ANY DIFFERENTLY IN THE LAST 20 YEARS. WITH GROWTH OCCURRING. IS THERE SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO MORE ABOUT THAT? I DON'T KNOW. TIP THIS BACK TO STAFF AND BURY ME. MAYBE YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE POINTERS ON THIS. YES, THIS IS RIGHT. IT'S A LITTLE HOT, MIKE. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ISSUES WE'VE BATTLED WITH, AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOREVER. IT'S GOTTEN WORSE, GIVEN THAT STATE LEGISLATURE CHANGES AND CHANGES IN STATE LAW THAT MAKE IT HARDER FOR CITIES TO REGULATE THE DJ. WE HAVE THEY MADE IT VERY EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DEVELOP OR EATING JAY WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT USED TO BE WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND A LITTLE MORE OPTIMISTIC. LESS JADED. BUT IT'S KIND OF THE POINT WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO COMBAT DEVELOPMENT, AND SOME OF THEM COME IN WITH LAND PLANS AND DESIGNS THAT ARE CONTRARY TO OUR GOALS. AS A CITY, SOME OF THEM THE PERFECT EXAMPLE IS THE MAN MENTIONS OF PROSPEROUS? YES WHICH IS A SCAR ON THE. A BLIGHT ON THE E T. J THAT NO ONE'S REALLY HAPPY WITH, BUT THERE'S VERY LITTLE YOU CAN DO. THEY COME IN WITH A BATCH PLAYER. FOR THEIR SEWAGE TREATMENT. THEY COME IN WITH WELLS FOR THEIR WATER, AND THEY BUILD SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT IN THAT AREA. THEY COULD HAVE A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. IN SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING ELSE SO THAT I THINK KIM BROUGHT THIS UP AS A DISCUSSION POINT. DO WE START TO REASSESS HOW WE HANDLE E T J PROJECTS? YOU KNOW, BEFORE THEY CHANGE THE STATE LAW AND ANNEXATION, WE WENT OUT AND GOT ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS IN SOME KEY AREAS. THAT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTROL, BUT FRANKLY, THERE'S NOT A LOT WE CAN DO OUT THERE. FROM ASSEMBLY OR EVEN A PLANNING STANDPOINT.BUT THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS WE CAN DISCUSS. SO I REALIZED THAT THE STATE TOOK AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO DO ANNEXATION UNLESS THE PARTIES COME TO YOU, UM, IS THERE I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE T J ABILITIES TO MANAGE. IT. SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING THAT IS THE STATE LIMITED THAT, OR IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN YOU CAN INFLUENCE IN SOME FASHION LOCALLY IN TERMS OF LESS THAN IDEAL DEVELOPMENTS, SO THERE'S SOME THINGS WE COULD INVESTIGATE THAT WE CAN'T DO THE STATES.
SEVERELY LIMITED CITIES ABILITIES TO REGULATE IN A LOT OF AREAS, BUT PRIMARILY IN OUR E. T. J, WHICH IS WHICH USED TO ALWAYS BE LOOKED AT AS OUR FUTURE CITY LIMITS, RIGHT? THAT'S THAT'S THE AREA THAT WOULD BE COMPLICATING. THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE ANYMORE. A LOT OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS OR POPPING UP. RIGHT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SPECIAL TAX IDENTITIES, PLACES LIKE THE MANSIONS OF PROSPER THAT JUST POP UP AND BUILD, AND IF THERE'S INFRASTRUCTURE THERE, THEY CAN TIE INTO IT. IF THERE'S NOT, THEN THEY CAN WORK AROUND IT. SO JUST MAYBE SOMETHING IF WE WANT TO MAKE IT A FOCUS OF INVESTIGATING WHAT AUTHORITY WE CAN HAVE UM HMM. POTENTIALLY FROM MY VIEWPOINT, THERE MIGHT EVEN BE AREAS OF THE DJ THAT WE JUST SAY. THAT'S NEVER GOING TO BE MCKINNEY. AND. YOU KNOW IF WE GET MORE PROJECTS LIKE THE STATES OF PROPS OR MENTIONS A PROSPEROUS, POPPING UP IN OUR A T. J. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT EVER BE PART OF THE CITY LIMITS AND WE TREATED DIFFERENTLY. MR MAYOR RECOGNIZED I'M GOING TO ASK TO BE EXCUSED TO REPRESENT THE CITY COUNCIL ELSEWHERE. AND. COUNCILWOMAN FELT IT HAD MADE A POINT EARLIER ABOUT ADDRESSING TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. AS FAR AS FIVE G, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT WE NECESSARILY COVERED THAT. HUGS CERTAINLY THINK IT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY IS LEAVE YOU WITH THAT THOUGHT AND I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. THANK YOU, CHARLES. THANK YOU TROUBLE. BUT LET ME SPEAK TO YES, SIR. WE
[01:30:08]
UHH! IN MY OPINION, WE HAVE A REAL ISSUE HERE. AND WE HAVE SO MUCH LAND THAT'S IN THE DJ. AND SO MANY. BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT THERE, JUST SITTING THERE. WE REALLY OUGHT TO FOCUS ON THIS ISSUE AND FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S ANY INCENTIVES. WE WE'VE GOT A PIN POLICY. NOW START REACHING OUT. WE'VE ALREADY BEEN REACHING OUT TO SOME OF THESE PEOPLE. AH BUT IT'S HARD TO COMPETE BECAUSK ORDINANCE OR WHATEVER, BUT WHEN YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE T J. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ALL THESE FEES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO. GO BY ORDINANCES IN SO IT'S A LOT CHEAPER TO DEVELOP OUT THERE, AND YOU CAN DO PRETTY MUCH WHAT YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ISSUE EITHER, SO WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT SOME DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES SOME DIFFERENT INCENTIVES. TO KEEP PEOPLE OR MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO COME INTO THE CITY. KNOW, PROMOTE, YOU KNOW OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE ARE ALL OUR SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE. AH MAYBE IT'S YOU GO TO THESE PEOPLE AND YOU TALK TO HIM ABOUT DOING REPAIRS AND WHAT WE CAN OFFER THEM. SO IT'S A IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE ISSUE GOING FORWARD. I'M SORRY. YEAH I THINK THEY'VE GOT ME TURNED UP REALLY LOUD TODAY, SO THAT'S WHY I'LL TURN IT OFF. GO AHEAD, AND THEN WE CAN AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER FRANKLIN INTO YOUR POINT, BARRY.I MEAN, IT'S REALLY STATE LAWS PUT US IN A BOX TO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND TOOLS NEGOTIATIONS BASICALLY FOR ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS, AND WE DID TALK ABOUT IN THE PIT POLICY. ONE POINT WHAT WE CALLED A SMALL PIT, WHICH ALLOWED FOR SMALLER TRACKS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR THE REASONS THAT YOU MENTIONED TO GIVE THEM INCENTIVE TO COME INTO THE CITY, AND I THINK THAT TO KIM'S ORIGINAL POINT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO THE COUNCIL WANTS THIS TO BE A PRIORITY. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND THINGS THAT DEVELOPERS WILL ENTERTAIN TO BECOME NXT YOU MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, SERVICES AND POLICE AND FIRE AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE DO PROVIDE. BUT IT'S LESS OF A WEAK FORCE YOU IT'S MORE WELL. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD WANT TO COME IN. YOU HAVE A CELEBRATE CRITERIA TO DO THAT? WHAT.
A GOOD START WOULD BE TO IDENTIFY. BUT WE KNOW THAT PROPERTY TAX, OF COURSE, IS IT'S GOING TO BE THERE. BUT ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE DISSUADING FACTORS FOR SOMEONE WHO WANT TO COME INTO THE CITY. GOING TO BE PARK FEES, IMPACT FEES OF ALL ALL THE THINGS AND THEN START LOOKING AT EACH OF THOSE INDIVIDUALLY AND IDENTIFY. WHAT'S OUR APPETITE? TO MITIGATE THAT, OR TO INCENTIVIZE. WHAT PORTION OF THAT? WHAT CAN WE DO ? BUT I THINK UNTIL WE HAVE A CLEAR LIST OF ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE IT, UM TO MAKE IT A DISADVANTAGE FOR THEM TO COME INTO THE CITY. IT'S HARD TO CREATE A STRATEGY TO MITIGATED. SO WE GOT TO UNDERSTAND IT FIRST IN REAL DOLLARS AND CENTS. THERE OUGHT TO BE A TRADE OFF FOR TO COME IN THE CITY, BUT YOU HAVE TO PERFORM TO THE KINDS OF DEVELOPMENT THE TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD ACCOMPANY AN AGREEMENT TO REDUCE FEES OR TO CHANGE THOSE. DO YOU AGREE? WHAT I HEAR IS A IS WHAT WAS POOLS THAT WE CAN PUT OUR TOOLBOXES PRIORITIES THAT HAD A GREAT TABLE AND THEN ESPECIALLY YOU CAN UNDER THE LIMITED AUTHORITY. YOU'VE GOT TO TRY. IT'S ALL PUSH AND SATELLITES WHERE THE FEELS LIKE ITS DIRECTION IS NOT STABLE TABLE OR WHATEVER. AGAIN I THINK IT DOES ADDRESS IS JUST PERFECT. HERE WE NEED. WE NEED A STRATEGY AND THAT'S I AGREE. THE STICK IS GONE. WE ONLY HAVE CARROTS NOW AND WHATEVER THOSE CARROTS AND WHAT WE DO, SO YEAH. THAT'S GOOD, OKAY? ALL RIGHT, UM. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RECYCLING PROGRAM WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT A GREAT INITIATIVES CLEARLY CUSTOM SUPPORT OUT THERE, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
[01:35:05]
DO ANYWAY. SO YOU GET SOME WEAPON FALLS EXTENDED TO PURPOSE. NAPOLI 33 UNION CONTRACT WITH YOUR PROVIDER LOOKS LIKE STRONG EFFORT. I THINK THIS WAS ONE OF MINE AND I STILL LOVE TO HAVE A RECYCLING DROP OFF FOR CARDBOARD AND WEST MCKINNEY. BUT IF CANDIDLY OF STAFF IS TELLING ME PATRICK, WE NEED TO WAIT TILL WE GET THIS ALL REDONE WITH THE NEGOTIATION . I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, UH, THAT'S FINE.IF WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT, WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT. YEP AND FIND THE RIGHT LOCATION, SO.
RIGHT NOW. YEAH, I THINK I MENTIONED IT. AT THE LAST MEETING. I TALKED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF WITH RECYCLING A BIG PROBLEM. A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS PROBABLY DON'T REALLY FULLY UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE HAVE CONTAMINATION OF OURSELVES OF OUR RECYCLABLES. AND YOU KNOW, SMART CITY TECHNOLOGY MIGHT HAVE SENSORS THAT CAN DETERMINE ORGANIC MATERIAL RECYCLING CARD, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU REACH A CERTAIN THRESHOLD OR ABOVE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COLLECT IT.
BECAUSE IT'S GOT TOO MUCH CONTAMINATION. THINGS LIKE THAT ARE SMART CITIES TYPE OF TECHNOLOGIES, AND, BUT IT'S A SORT OF A CATCH ALL ON BEING OPEN TO ADOPTED MORE SMART CITY STAFF WERE MEMBER OF THE SMART CITY ALLIANCE HERE IN THE REGION, SO THAT'S KIND OF TAKING CARE OF ITSELF OVER TIME.
BUT WE'RE LIMITED ON THE STATE SO THAT THAT'S THE THING. I MEAN, WE CAN DO ALL THE PLANNING WE WANT, BUT ULTIMATELY THE STATE HAS THE FINAL SAY SO. I THINK IT'S JUST WORKING WITH THE STATE TRYING TO GET AS GOOD BILL FOR MCKINNEY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN , AND THAT'S JUST HOW IT'S GONNA
[01:40:05]
BE. IT MAY BE MORE WORKING ON MOVING THE TIMEFRAME MONTH, YOU KNOW, TALKING TO THE STATE, SAYING THIS BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY A 10 YEAR PROJECT. EASY YEAH. EARLIER 15. YEAH, AND WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS NOW. SO THE THING THAT WE DO HAVE CONTROL OVER OUR THE OTHER ARTERIAL WAYS THAT WE HAVE AROUND THAT PROJECT RIGHT NOW, WHICH SHOULD BE A BIG FOCUS FOR US BECAUSE IT'S SO FAR DOWN THE LINE BEFORE THAT BYPASS IS GOING TO BE COMPLETED. RIGHT WELL, THE GREAT THING ABOUT LOT HELL, PART ONE. IS THAT THE STATE IS ACTUALLY TAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO PRESIDENT ROAD. YEAH SO WE'RE JUST OH, YEAH, CONNECTED OVER. BUSINESS. WHICH IS PROBABLY KIND OF GOING TO THROW US OFF A LITTLE BIT, BUT I'M GOING TO DO IT AND JUST FEW MINUTES BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF ONE OF THE THINGS CHARLIE. NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, I THINK FOR, UM, OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCISE TO ADDRESS INFRASTRUCTURE, ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THEN ADD THE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE ALONG WITH THAT. OKAY IT'S JUST KIND OF SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND I THINK TO KIND OF BRING BETTER FOCUS TO IT. IT'LL BE NICE TO HAVE, LIKE JUST THAT PART SECTION OFF. ADDRESS ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT BYPASS ALL OF THE, UM YOU KNOW ROADWAYS AROUND THE BYPASS. YOU KNOW? FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY UP IN THE NORTHWESTERN SECTOR OF THE CITY. JUST TO KIND OF BRING MORE OF A FOCUS THERE. IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT ROAD RACE AND NEED FOR REPAIRS HERE. HAVING INFRASTRUCTURE KIND OF CLUMP TOGETHER ISN'T BETTER. BETTER WAY TO LOOK AT IT. OKAY? AND YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT A FIVE G PROGRAM GOING ON HERE, RIGHT? OR I'M TRYING. REMEMBER THAT WAS THE CITY OR NOT A BROADBAND. I'M SORRY, NOT FIVE GMCR BROADBAND. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH. SO I'M ASSUMING AS YOU'RE DOING NEW CONSTRUCTION IN YOUR POINT, YOUR LAND FIBER AND THINGS LIKE THAT. OR AT LEAST HAVE THE CONDUITS FOR THINGS. YEAH, OKAY. SO TO YOUR POINT, DOCTOR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. WHATEVER WHEREVER THAT FITS IN WHETHER THAT'S INFRASTRUCTURE OR AN ACTUAL SERVICE OR WHATEVER PIPES CONDO . IT'S THINGS LIKE THAT TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE OKAY. RIGHT? UM. THIS WAS A CATCH ALL AS WELL, UM, TECHNOLOGIES THAT COULD HELP ADVANCE THE CITY'S OPERATIONS. I KNOW YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF MAJOR ER, P UPGRADES AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS. THOSE ARE TYPICALLY MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PROJECTS SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON STAFF, BUT ANYTHING THAT ANYBODY NEEDED TO CLARIFY OR ANY CLARITY THAT THE STAFF NEEDS BROKE WITH THE MIND COULD TAKE A BREAK THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT SOON. YEAH JUST DO THAT BECAUSE WE CAN WORK ON THE FEEDBACK ISSUE, TOO.OH I'M SO SORRY. I'M SO SORRY HE WAS ON. I WISH WE WERE. WE WERE TRYING TO TRIAGE THE FEEDBACK ISSUE. I APOLOGIZE. DISREGARD THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS IS JUST TAKING YEP. EAT YOUR WELL. THE THING IS THAT THE BROADCAST ISN'T PICKING UP ANYTHING, DOUG SAYS. SO SO IF YOU'LL TURN YOUR MIC BACK ON, AND WE'LL JUST BE CAREFUL TO TURN OURS OFF AS WE GO BACK AND FORTH, AND THEN WE CAN LOOK OKAY, I'LL TRY. AS I SAID, I THINK I THINK IT MIGHT MIND THAT'S UP LOUDER THAN USUAL. SO ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO, UM TECHNOLOGY ANYTHING MORE. WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE STAFF STAFF. NO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP A OBJECTIVE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING UNDER THAT STATEMENT? THAT'S MY THAT'S A PRETTY BROAD STATEMENT HERE. I JUST WANT TO GET SOME CLARITY, SO STAFF KNOWS WHAT TO DO NEXT. AND IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THAT SO. I'LL TRY TO TURN MY ON AND OFF SO THAT IT IT AH! OVER.
[01:46:51]
LEVEL. UP. STRAIGHT. THIS NEXT ONE MIGHT FALL INTO THAT SAME CATEGORY, LIKE INVITE MCKINNEY, BUT MAYBE NOT THE SHOWCASING YOUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. IT WAS RAISED BY DON'T REMEMBER, DO RACIST RAISED THAT AND REALLY, THAT'S PROBABLY MORE OF A YOU KNOW THE ABC ISSUE MORE THAN IT IS THE COUNCIL ISSUES SO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE I WOULD PUT IT. I DON'T THINK THE COUNCIL HAS, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE CAN SUGGEST SOME THINGS, BUT AND BUT THAT'S NOT OUR CONCERNED SO WHEREVER A LETTER OR REQUEST WHATEVER CONSIDERED I'M ONE OF THE COUNCILMAN THAT REPRESENTS OKAY, SO I LIAISONS AND SO I CAN WE CAN TALK THERE SO YOU CAN ELIMINATE THAT. UM IT'S NEXT ONE, UM JOB TRAINING, EMPHASIZING JOB TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. CLEARLY ANOTHER E D C M E D C COMPONENT. LET ME ADD SOME MEAT TO THIS THAT SINCE YOU AND SINCE I WAS HERE LAST MONTH, I'M WORKING WITH US SOUTH FLORIDA COMMUNITY ABOUT HALF YOUR SIZE, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY WORKING ON A PRETTY. IT'S A RECRUITMENT THAT I'M WORKING WITH. IT'S PART OF A DIRECTOR OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION. BUT THEY ACTUALLY IT WAS MOST INNOVATIVE APPROACH THAT I'VE SEEN. NOT ONLY DID THEY LOOK AT IT INTERNALLY AS AN ORGANIZATION, THEY THEN WORKED WITH THEIR BUSINESS STAKEHOLDERS BECAUSE THAT PARTICULAR COMMUNITY DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT. IT'S A LOT OF SMALLER BUSINESSES. AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS THAT THEY COULDN'T ATTRACT WORK FORCE PEOPLE TO COME TO WORK TO STAFF TO DO THOSE SERVICES THEY'VE GOT . SO I KNOW AT THE LAST CONVERSATION WE HAD HERE. THE QUESTION IS, WHERE DO THOSE PEOPLE COME FROM? THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN MCKINNEY. THE OTHER QUESTION IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER INCORPORATING INTO YOUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, WHETHER THAT'S D I OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH, BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS THIS WAS THE COMMENTS THAT CAME OUT OF IT SO I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT AS AT LEAST A KIND OF A REAL WORLD. EXAMPLE OF HOW I'M SEEING ANOTHER COMMUNITY DO THAT IN A IN A NON TRADITIONAL WAY, BUT, UM, LET'S OPEN IT UP FOR CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT WHERE AND WHETHER THAT'S YOUR ROLE LEADING ROLES. STAFF NEEDS TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT. SO MY QUESTION.[01:50:02]
IT JUST.ONE. HOW'S HE DOES SOUND SYSTEMS ON THE SIDE? UHH! THAT TONE IS SET BY SO YOUR POINT. HERE.
REALLY? WELL. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, ACTUALLY ECONOMIC SELF. RIGHT NOW. HARD. PIPELINE. AND IT'S WELL. COUNCIL SETS THAT TONE. ULTIMATE AUTHORITY. HELP.
FINE. DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME. IT'S JUST GET IN THERE. SEEM AMBIVALENT. IT'S BECAUSE I AM.
YEAH. QUESTION YOU'VE GOT YOU WANT TO I'M NOT HEARING ALL YOU GOT THREE PLUS VOTES, BUT YOU KNOW, NOT A LOT OF DESIRE TO DO IT. WE DO IT SHOULD WE NO. UM. THIS IS MY. TIME THAT I'VE GOTTEN ON THIS. GET SLAPPED AROUND WITH THAT STUPID PHRASE. WEEKLY. WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I'M
[01:55:06]
GOING HERE. SO I DON'T THINK IT'S ANYTHING GOING TO CHANGE ON MY WATCH. SO WHATEVER YOU ALL WANT TO ALREADY SAYING HE'S THE ONE ON THE ONE HAND. REALLY EASY. JUST TAKE A RAZOR PLACE.PHRASE. I WOULD JUST SAY THAT. WORK. THIS ISN'T ADVOCATE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IT'S REALLY WANT TO CHANGE THE LOGO. THERE'S A LOT. TEACHER. ANY CHANGE OF OUR WATER. LOT OF COST AND EXPENSE THAT OVER TIME TO BE CHANGES. RECOGNIZE THAT CHANGE. SO IT'S NOT JUST LIKE WE COULD SAY. PRUDENT TO DO THAT. AND WHAT WE'RE DOING A LOT OF OTHER STUFF. THERE'S SOMETHING WE DO TODAY, AND THEN WE WIPE IT OUT. GRADUAL THING, TOO. DOWN. IT JUST REEKS OF WHERE A BEDROOM COMMUNITY. BUSINESS LOOKS AT THAT. A. I THINK THE PERSON DIDN'T WORK.
RIGHT? BREAKS FOR HIM, YOU KNOW? WORK TO THROWING IT OUT THERE JUST YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT.
HAVE SO I RIGHT? TO BRING IT FORWARD FOR ANYTHING.
YES. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. HERE WE GO. HEY. PAVING THE WAY PAVE IT
[02:00:13]
OVER. CHOP IT DOWN YET MAYBE THE WAY.SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT DO THAT IT WOULD TAKE A VOTE. CARTER ELECTION MATTER, RIGHT? SO TO ME. SO. IT WAS. IT WAS AN ELECTION. THAT BASICALLY SAID OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GIVE HIM $50 A MEETING AND PEOPLE VOTED FOR THAT. OUR LANGUAGE. 1,002,000 AND. TWO RIGHT ON IT. ER. ONE SO. JUST PUT LANGUAGE IN AS AN INFLATIONARY AND STATIONARY FACTOR IN THERE. WOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK EVERY TIME. WENT UP. I MEAN, AND THAT'S TO ME. IT'S THE THAT'S THE EASIEST.
SELL OF JUST SAYING, OH, UP WITH IN FLIGHT. ART. YEAH. FRANKLY, YOU CAN NEVER COMPENSATE THIS AND THAT NEVER GOING TO BE TOTAL COMPENSATION. OR ANY OUR BROWN? YEAH, OUR FIRST HOURS. I THINK WE HAVE TO DO THAT. POSSIBLY FOR NEXT MAY. THERE AND ITS PEOPLE. FIVE YEARS. OKAY? BUT IN THAT PACK. DON'T RIGHT? I'M.
WHY? WHY DO YOU THINK. OKAY, BUT WHAT IS THIS STUDY? DO.
HERE IS. OR SOME OF THE OTHER EVC CDC. YOU WANT TO HAND THAT OFF TO THEM TO DO? IT'S NOT
[02:05:05]
SOMETHING THIS STAFF IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPING A SERIES OF OBJECTIVE. TOP AGREEMENT THERE.UM AND THEN THE LAST ONE THAT HAD THREE MORE VOTES. DID SCORE WAS. CONTEXT THE WAY THEY CAME OUT. IS THAT WHERE THE HIGHEST AND BEST VALUES GIVEN WHAT YOU'VE GOT GOING ON THE AIRPORT IS THAT THE GENERAL AVIATION COMPONENT OR IS IT MORE OF THE CORPORATE OPPONENT. I THINK THAT WAS THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THE DISCUSSION OCCURRED. IN FACT, I BROUGHT IT UP BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME WHY. WHY DOESN'T AND SO IT WAS REALLY MORE OF A QUESTION. IT WASN'T ANYTHING. NEEDED TO VOTE ON BECAUSE TO ME. IT'S THE AIRPORT WHO DECIDES WHAT YOU KNOW. I MEAN, BEST USES. YOU'RE GOING TO GET FAR MORE MONEY FROM LARGE HANGARS. DOLLARS. CELLS OF THEN THE SMALL RECREATIONAL RIGHT, GENERAL AVIATION. EXACTLY SO, UM, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THEI, LOOK, WE'RE YOU KNOW, WE'LL GIVE GYMBOREE GENERAL AVIATION TO THE OTHER SMALL ONES. IF WE'RE IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK TO BE A REGIONAL AIRPORT, WE'RE NOT IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF MORE OF A HINDRANCE TO HAVE THIS. LANES AROUND. I'VE BEEN HI. ER IN THE MIDDLE OF ELECTION OF A FIRM WILL. THE MIRROR IMAGE OF THE 40,000 SQUARE FOOT HANGAR WE BUILD. THAT'S UNDERWAY, BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WE ONLY HAVE WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF G. A SPACE OF UNDERSTANDING WHA.
SOMETHING WE ARE WORKING ON. MAYBE. YOU HAVE KIND OF AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S AVAILABLE. LOOK AT LIKE A T HANGER THAT HAD. FIRST THAT CORPORATE HANGER LIKE CORP. NINE HAS EIGHT. YES. YEAH YEAH, WITH FUEL IS OUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF REVENUE. IT'S VERY CLEAR WHERE WE SHOULD BE SPENDING OUR MONEY. MORE SO THAN MONEY ARE REMAINING. TRACTS OF LAND ON THE WITH. FRANKLIN MY BIGGER CONCERN IS IF WE ARE ABLE TO EVENTUALLY GET COMMERCIALS. TRAFFIC IN THERE AND THEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH LITTLE STUFF. 30. HERE AND. AIRPORT DIRECTIONS GOING, THAT'S FINE. UM. THE RISK. I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW THE NEXT SLIDE. EACH OF THE TOPICS THERE ANYTHING THIS AREA.
ANYTHING ON THAT LIST THAT I'VE REAL WAR. VOTES ON THE WAY TO THE AVERAGE. ABOUT I'M INTERPRETING IT. IF YOU DON'T THAT STAFF IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM. THEY WERE JUST SIMPLY RAISED THIS TOPIC. WE'VE FLUSHED THEM OUT, AND THERE'S NOT AN INTEREST TO PROCEED.
THE PLAN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO EVENTUALLY IS PAUL. FOR THINGS THAT YOU IDENTIFIED AS THINGS THAT YOU WANTED THIS COUNCIL TO BE KNOWN FOR. I THINK THAT THE CONTEXT I SAID, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, AND YOU'RE NO LONGER ON THE COUNCIL. WHAT THINGS THAT OUGHT TO BE REFLECTED IN YOUR PLAN IF THEIR PRIORITY CLOUDS. COMPLEX ISN'T NECESSARILY IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY, BUT IT GOES TO QUALITY OF LIFE AND CONNECTIVITY. AND TO DO ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT.
WARRIOR, ONE OF YOUR HIGH PRIORITY. AERATION.
[02:10:38]
HOME. WE HIT. WE CHECKED OFF THE BOXES. THAT WAS THE REASON TO BRING THOSE SLIDES BACK TO YOUR ATTENTION AND LEON. A RARE PHOTO. OKAY, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT NEXT. SO, UM I'LL SET THE TABLE. THERE'S CERTAINLY SOME THINGS THAT YOU'VE IDENTIFIED HERE THAT STAFF IS GOING TO COME BACK IN AND SPEND SOME TIME. GOING TO TAKE AREA. LANGUAGE ON A COUPLE OF THE AREAS. REVOTE ON THAT ONE PARTICULAR AREA AS WELL. BUT THE GOAL HERE WAS TODAY IS AFTER WE KIND OF CAPTURED THAT HIGH LEVEL THOUGHTS FROM LAST MONTH SESSION . NOT HAVE STAFF DO A BUNCH OF WORK ON EVERYTHING. WE REALLY WANT TO TRY TO JUST USE THIS AS A FUNNEL TO PRIORITIZE. SO, UM, WHAT I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. LANGUAGE. TO PROBABLY REVOTE, AT LEAST ON THAT ONE SECTION. CLARITY SO THERE AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANY OTHER THINGS.TIMETABLE I'M ASSUMING AT SOME POINT YOU'RE GONNA END UP WITH A DOCUMENT THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO YOUR COUNSEL, AND YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO AFFIRM THAT TO SET THE GOALS, WHICH THEN? OUR INTENT IS THAT IN EARLY MAY BRING. ARE ALL JUST AS YOU'VE DONE THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, AND YOU'LL HAVE ALL THE LOADED WITH ALL WITH MEASURABLE. WHAT? HOW WOULD WE KNOW IF WE'RE ACTUALLY ACHIEVE? MARTIN OBJECT. BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU. ONLY ADOPT. COMMENTS OTHER THAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. TIME THAT WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT'S VERY HEALTHY. PRETTY SMOOTHLY.
