[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (For Non-Public Hearing Agenda Items)]

[00:05:05]

I WISH THAT THEY WERE BACK ABOUT SIX MONTHS, NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID, BUT BACK ABOUT SIX MONTHS, MAYBE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN INTEGRATED DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS TYPE OF THINGS SO ANYWAY. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE IT. AND THANKS TO THE BYRON NELSON IS FANTASTIC. IT'S GREAT REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY, AS WERE THE VOLUNTEERS OUT THERE MANNING THE BOOTH. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ICEHOUSE. BUT IT DOES REPRESENT MCKINNEY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, TOM. UM PITY BECAUSE. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR THE CITY, AND, UM I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GO OFF WITH THEY.

THEY SAID THAT I ESPECIALLY WANT TO THANK CHARLIE PHILLIPS FOR COMING TO OUR MEETING LAST WEEK AND PREVENT PRESENTING US WITH THE PROCLAMATION. AND I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE THAT WE WERE NOT THERE. WE DID NOT GET WORD OF IT UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE PROCLAMATION THAT MADE MAY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE

[00:10:07]

BECAUSE MAY IS THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH. I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO GET UP HERE AND JUST SAY SOMETHING, AND YOU KNOW, BACK IN DECEMBER I CAME TO YOU AND THERE WAS A HOUSE ON CHURCH STREET THAT WAS KNOCKED DOWN. AND I THINK IT WAS BUILT AROUND 1915 AND I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK. AND YOU KNOW BEING ON THE BOARD, YOU WOULD THINK AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION ADVISORY BOARD. WE KNOW THAT STUFF LIKE THIS. WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. AND BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAYBE TALK TO SOMEONE OR CHANGE THE PROCESS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT WE NEED IF WE'RE GOING TO KNOCK DOWN HISTORIC STRUCTURES. I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE IT AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE. THAT WE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN TO THE SAME RESULT. BUT IT WOULD HAVE IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME SERVING ON THIS BOARD THAT WE WOULD BE PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN ADVISORY BOARD. IT'S GOING TO BE LEFT UP TO YOU ALL. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IF WE'RE GOING TO KNOCK DOWN HISTORIC STRUCTURES, WE WOULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THE MIX OF LEARNING MORE ABOUT IT, MAKING SURE THAT GOOD INFORMATION GETS OUT THERE. AND UM AND YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE EYE SALES, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT. BARRY SHELTON CAME MADE A GREAT PRESENTATION, BUT I COULD NOT HELP BUT FEEL THAT THE DECISION HAS ARE I MEAN, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME, AND I FELT LIKE JUST LIKE WHAT TOM SAID THAT MAYBE IF IT HAD HAPPENED SIX MONTHS BEFORE THAT, IF WE HAD BEEN IN THAT CONVERSATION THAT YOU KNOW, MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WOULD KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

AND BECAUSE I REALLY THINK THAT THAT THE WANTED TO UTILIZE IT. SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY IS THAT I APPRECIATE THE PROCLAMATION AND I KNOW THAT Y'ALL THIS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, AND I JUST APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. BETTY, WILL YOU HOLD UP FOR JUST A SECOND? OH YOU DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SIGNED PROCLAMATIONS MADE HIM GO BACK IN AND SIGN THOSE FOR YOU WASN'T EASY. OKAY, THANKS. WHAT WAS THE PROCLAMATION? OKAY? NINA DOWELL RINGLEY. HELLO. I'M NINA DOWELL RINGLEY. I LIVE AT 313 NORTH BENCH NEARBY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. I KNOW THAT THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT I'M HERE TO TONIGHT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT TO GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. MAYBE UM, IT WAS A FINE TIME LAST YEAR WHEN OUR CITY WAS SUPPORTING INCORPORATING THE HISTORIC EYES HOUSE IN THE NEW CITY HALL ENDEAVOR. BUY IN WAS BIG FOLKS WERE HAPPY MCKINNEY HEIGHTS THAT HAVE LENT HIM FOREVER. WE THOUGHT THIS IS GOING TO BE SO COOL, ENGAGING BOTH TOGETHER, SO IT'S STILL OUT THERE ON WEBSITES AND EVERYTHING AND THERE IT IS VERY GIVING THE PRESENTATION WITH THE ICE HOUSE RIGHT IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT NOW A MAJOR PLAN HAS RECENTLY CHANGED THIS PLAN.

THE CITY NEEDS TO MOVE THE CITY HALL DESIGNED MORE TO THE EAST BECAUSE OF RIGHT RAILROAD RIGHT AWAY ISSUES. NOW IT SEEMS LIKE THE ICE HOUSE IS DEEMED UNSAFE CANNOT BE SAVED. I AM DOOMED TO BE DEMOLISHED. WHAT COULD WE HAVE? WHAT COULD WE SAVE? IF WHAT COULD WE HAVE IF WE SAVE THE ICE HOUSE BUILDING? WE GET A BUILDING WHOSE ARCHITECTURE IS UNIQUE TO MCKINNEY AS SUCH, IT WILL SET MCKINNEY APART FROM OTHER TOWNS THAT WILL MAKE MCKINNEY'S DOWNTOWN DISTRICT FROM OTHER TOWNS. DISTINCT FROM OTHER TOWNS AND ADD TO THE CITY'S IDENTITY WHEN THE LEANING TOWER PIZZA WAS NEAR COLLAPSE. NO ONE SAID IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. NO THEY CAME UP WITH A PLAN TO FIX IT. LET'S TOGETHER COME UP WITH A PLAN. GIVE US A CHALLENGE. GIVE US PUBLIC. FOLKS A CHALLENGE. PRESERVING THE ICEHOUSE BUILDING WOULD ENSURE THAT THE CITY HALL COMPLEX WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. IT WILL SAY MCKINNEY IS UNIQUE AMONG US CITIES. IT WILL GET NOTICED A TOWN THAT LOVE ITSELF ATTRACTS CREATIVE PEOPLE WHO INVEST IN BUSINESSES. IT ATTRACTS TOURISTS . IT ATTRACTS CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT. WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BUILDING IS THERE AND IT'S GOING TO COST THE CITY TAXPAYERS TO EITHER RESTORE IT OR TEAR IT DOWN. IT WON'T GET TORE DOWN FOR FREE. THAT MEANS THE COST OF RESTORING THE BUILDING IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EXPENSE

[00:15:02]

UM AND DAYS BEFORE REFRIGERATORS WERE IN EVERYONE'S HOMES OR EVEN IN GROCERY STORES. THE WHOLE CITY RELIED ON THE ICEHOUSE TO SUPPLY THEM WITH BLOCKS OF ICE, AND IT REALLY SHOWED HOW CONNECTED WE CAN BE AS WHOLE. UM AND THE EMERGENCE OF THESE FACILITIES WAS A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT PRESERVATIONS AND GROCERY STORES INSIDE HOMES. UM EARLY BE MILSTEAD WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW IT AFFECTED HIM THROUGHOUT HIS 92 YEARS OF LIFE. AND HE REMINISCED ON HIS YOUNGER YEARS AND HOW I WAS REALLY SEEN AS A LUXURY AND THEY WEREN'T REALLY ABLE TO ACCESS TO ALL THAT OFTEN, AND I THINK THAT HAVING THIS BUILDING AND SEEING HOW MANY PEOPLE IT'S IMPACTED SINCE WELL, IT'S BEEN THERE IS REALLY , REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. AND ALTHOUGH THE ICE HOUSES A BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE THAT DESERVES TO BE LOVED AND APPRECIATED AS PART OF OUR TEXAS CULTURE, I THINK THAT IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOME PEOPLE REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE TO CULTURE AND ESPECIALLY TEXAS CULTURE SURROUNDING THESE ICE HOUSES. IS THAT, UM IN SOUTH TEXAS. IT BECAME TO STORE BEER AND OTHER DRINKS THAT PEOPLE GREW AND THEY WOULD REALLY FLOCK TO IT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, AND IT REALLY BECAME LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD HANGOUT AREA AND TO SOME EXTENT LIKE A PUB RECENTLY , THE STICKS ICEHOUSE ON ELDORADO IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, IS REFERENCING THE SAME CULTURE SETTING AND EVEN NAME BYE.

HAVING ITSELF THERE SIMILARLY, BUT DISTINCT, DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT IS NORTH TEXAS ICE HOUSES THAT BEGAN AS MODERN DAY STORES. THIS IS BECAUSE RURAL AREAS LIKE WELL THE COUNTRYSIDE IT WAS EASIER TO POP DOWN TO THE LOCAL ICEHOUSE THAN MAKING A TRIP ALL THE WAY TO THE MARKET, OR IT MIGHT EVEN BE CLOSED. THIS COMING GO EXCHANGE BECAME A STAPLE TO THE SOUTH AND ICE TEXAS COMPANY. AND BECAME A REFERENCE POINT TO NOW NATIONWIDE GAS STATIONS AND CONVENIENCE STORES LIKE 7 11, THIS POPULAR CONVENIENCE STORE STARTED RIGHT UP IN MCKINNEY MCKINNEY IN DALLAS, TEXAS. BUT I THINK THAT MCKINNEY COULD REFERENCE THE SAME THING AND USE THIS AS SOMETHING TO OTHERS. HOME AND JUST BEING LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO CONNECT BOTH OLDER AND YOUNGER GENERATIONS. AND I THINK THAT HAVING SOMETHING THAT HAS IMPACTED SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES BECAUSE OF HOW LONG IT'S BEEN THERE. AND HOW THEY CAN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE BECAUSE MOST OF THEM HAVE REALLY PAST THAT REALLY, REALLY AFFECTED THEM. I THINK THAT THE ABILITY TO KEEP THE MCKINNEY ICEHOUSE IT COULD REALLY BRING US TOGETHER AND CONNECT THE YOUTH AND THE YOUNGER PEOPLE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M SURE THAT'S THE END OF SPEAKERS. I WILL JUST ADDRESS ONE THING I HEARD. DID YOU SIGN UP? REALLY? HE DIDN'T. I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T HAVE YOU ON LIST, BUT PLEASE COME UP. I'M SORRY. IT'S FOR US FOR PUBLIC ITEM RIGHT PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.

OKAY, SO WE'LL DO THAT AT THAT TIME. THERE WAS JUST A COMMENT MADE ABOUT THE RIGHT OF WAY IN THE BUILDING SHIFTING AND THEN IT ALL THE SUDDEN THE ICEHOUSE BECAME STRUCTURE AND SAY, WELL, THAT TIME IS NOT AT ALL. HOW HOW IT HAPPENED. IT TRULY WAS. WE WE WERE STEADFAST IN PRESERVING THE ICEHOUSE. PART OF THAT, OF COURSE, WAS GETTING THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS OUT THERE HAVING TO DETERMINE. MAKE SURE NUMBER ONE. IT WAS STRUCTURALLY STABLE AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO

[00:20:02]

TO SPEAK UP. WHEN YOU SEE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING, THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. UM AND I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH A FEW OF YOU ALREADY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BABY IS VERY AWARE OF ANY CHANGES THAT ARE COMING TO ANY HISTORIC STRUCTURES, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT PROCESS IS GOING TO BE TALKING TRYING TO GET A GROUP TOGETHER. TO COME UP WITH A BETTER PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN INVOLVE YOU AND ORGANIZED FASHION SO THAT THINGS LIKE THIS ARE NOT NOT MISSED IN THE FUTURE. AND BACK TO EVEN THE HOUSE THAT WAS A CONDEMNED STRUCTURE. A VERY MINIMUM. A COMMUNICATION PATH THAT COULD BE IMPROVED UPON WHETHER, AS WAS SAID THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE CHANGED OR NOT, IT'S COMMUNICATION CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE, SO FOR THAT. WE OWN THAT. IMPROVE THAT. CONSENT AGENDA. THESE ARMS CAN CONSISTENT NONCONTROVERSIAL

[CONSENT AGENDA]

T. J. THE ONLY REASON THIS PLOT IS IN FRONT OF YOU IS BECAUSE IT IS IN THE E. T. J AND IT DOES REQUIRE CONSIDERATION OF SOME PLATT VARIANCES FOR THE TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS TO CONSTRUCT INFRASTRUCTURE.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Receive Public Comment to the Proposed Illustrative Plans, Including the City Council’s Preferred Plan and Filed Alternate Plans, for Redistricting the Single-Member City Council Districts, Pursuant to Resolution No. 2021-11-159]

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS STAFF. I AM GUNNER SEQUENCE WITH BIGGER STAFF HEAT. IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE BACK BEFORE YOU AS MR HAUSER SAID. THIS PROCESS FOLLOWS EARLIER MEETINGS. AND JUST AS A RECAP FOR ANYBODY WHO DIDN'T SEE THOSE. WE HAD AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT WHERE WE GAVE YOU SOME OF THE 2020 CENSUS DATA . UM AND THEN WE HELD SOME DRAWING SESSIONS HERE WITH THE CITY COUNCIL WITH OUR G I S PERSON APPEARING REMOTELY AND ABLE TO DRAW MAPS. THOSE MAPS WERE THEN PUT OUT PUBLICLY, BOTH OF THE NOTICE FOR TONIGHT'S HEARING AS WELL AS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. SO ANYBODY WHO WANTED TO GET A LOOK AT WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN DOING HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND SO WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO TAKE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT. AND AGAIN JUST BY WAY OF BACKGROUND. UM, WE ARE HERE. AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE 2020 CENSUS DATA TO REBALANCE THE CITY COUNCIL SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ROUGHLY PROPORTIONAL. OF COURSE, THE U. S CONSTITUTION REQUIRES US ON THE 14TH AMENDMENT. THE ONE PERSON ONE VOTE REQUIREMENT REQUIRES US TO HAVE SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS TO HAVE BALANCE TO HAVE APPROXIMATELY EQUAL POPULATIONS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE MAKE SURE EACH OF THE SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE A MAXIMUM TOTAL TOTAL DEVIATION THAT IS OR RATHER, THAT IS LESS PERCENT LESS THAN 10% WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A TOTAL DEVIATION LESS THAN 10.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE WOULD LOOK TO THE MOST POPULOUS AND LEAST POPULOUS DISTRICTS TAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MOST AND THE LEAST, AND THAT GIVES US THE OVERALL. UH DEVIATION THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT NUMBER IS LESS THAN 10% AND SO THIS IS SORT OF JUST BY WAY OF REFERENCE AN EXAMPLE CALCULATION THAT WE USE IF WE HAD FOUR HYPOTHETICAL DISTRICTS. DISTRICT DE EXCUSE ME, DISTRICT A WAS 10% OVER POPULATED DISTRICT DE WAS 20% UNDERPOPULATED THAT WOULD GIVE US A TOTAL MAXIMUM DEVIATION OF 30% THAT WOULD BE AN EXCESS OF THAT FEDERAL STANDARDS ARE HYPOTHETICAL CITY HERE. WOULD HAVE TO REDISTRICT. THIS IS THE CURRENT MAP. WHAT WE CALL THE BENCHMARK DISTRICT. SO THIS IS HOW THE CITY COUNCIL, THE SINGLE MEMBER CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS CURRENTLY, OF COURSE WE HAVE TO AT LARGE COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL AS THE MAYOR, BUT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS. ONE THROUGH FOUR AND THIS IS THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION FROM THE LAST CENSUS. AND WHEN WE'RE LOOKING TO REDISTRICT JUST A QUICK NOTE , WE LOOK AT TOTAL POPULATION FROM THE CENSUS DATA. NOW, WHEN WE ARE BALANCING DISTRICTS, WE ALSO CONDUCT VOTING RIGHTS ARE ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THAT ANY PLANS THAT WE MAKE OR CHANGE HERE COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS A DECADE AGO THAT USED TO INVOLVE ACTUALLY GOING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN WASHINGTON, D C AND GETTING ANY CHANGES PRE CLEARED. THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT HAS CHANGED THAT REQUIREMENT, SO WE NO LONGER DO THAT, BUT THE CITY IS STILL REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND IN PARTICULAR SECTION TWO OF THAT ACT. AND SO WHAT WE LOOK FOR AS WE GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT THE DISTRICTS AS THEY'RE DRAWN IS WE MAKE SURE THAT ANY MAP THAT HAS DRAWN DOESN'T FRACTURE , FRACTURE OR PACK PROTECTING MINORITY VOTERS IN A WAY THAT POLLUTES ELECTORAL OPPORTUNITY FOR MINORITY VOTERS IN THE CITY.

MCKINNEY AND WE ALSO LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A PROTECTED MINORITY POPULATION THAT IS SUFFICIENTLY LARGE AND GEOGRAPHICALLY COMPACT, SUCH THAT IT COULD BE ITS OWN DISTRICT. UM AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAD LOOKED AT BEFORE, WAS IN PARTICULAR DISTRICT ONE, WHICH WAS CLOSE TO UNDER THE 2020 CENTS AS BEING A MINORITY MAJORITY DISTRICT. IT WASN'T QUITE THERE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO LOOK AT, AND THAT WAS USING THE VOTING AGE

[00:30:05]

SO THAT WE COULD CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS IN FACT POSSIBLE BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHIC NUMBERS HERE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY TO DRAW A MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICT IN THAT WAY. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE CONTINUED UNTIL TONIGHT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION IN APRIL AND ANALYZE IT. AND WHAT WE SEE IS, IS THAT ACTUALLY, THE DEMOGRAPHIC POPULATION IN MCKINNEY IS FAIRLY WELL DISPERSED. UM AND IT'S A DIVERSE COMMUNITY. AND SO WHAT WE SEE IS BASED ON THE CITIZENSHIP NUMBERS . WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE POPULATION THAT IS SUFFICIENTLY LARGE AND GEOGRAPHICALLY COMPACT. SUCH THAT VOTING SECTION TWO OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT WOULD REQUIRE US TO LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN DRAW THAT MINORITY MAJORITY DISTRICT HERE.

THAT POPULATION JUST IS NOT THERE. SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR ME TALK A LOT ABOUT THAT TONIGHT, BUT THAT'S JUST BASED ON THE NUMBERS AND HOW PEOPLE ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. BUT THIS IS FOR PURPOSES OF BALANCING UNDER THE ONE PERSON ONE VOTE REQUIREMENT. THIS IS THE 2020 CENSUS DATA FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, UM, THAT WE RECEIVED AND SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CURRENT DISTRICTS, SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS AND THE BENCHMARK. UM WHAT WE HAVE HERE , WHICH YOU'LL SEE IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PERSONS BROKEN DOWN BY DISTRICT THE IDEAL SIZE AND THAT IDEAL SIZE, BASICALLY AS IF YOU COULD DIVIDE EACH OF THE DISTRICTS EQUALLY INTO FOUR EQUAL DISTRICTS. UM WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. JUST BASED ON WHERE PEOPLE ARE LOCATED. YOU CAN'T DRAW THE LINES THAT THAT EXACTLY, BUT THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT 10% DEVIATION THAT WE HAVE TO GET IN. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW THINGS ARE SITUATED CURRENTLY UNDER THE 2020 CENSUS, WHAT WE SEE IS THAT DISTRICTS ONE AND THREE ARE UNDERPOPULATED. AND DISTRICTS TWO AND FOUR ARE OVERPOPULATED. AND SO WHAT THIS PROCESS IS FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S REDISTRICTING AND WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS HAD TO LOOK AT. IS HOW TO TAKE POPULATION OUT OF DISTRICT TWO AND FOUR. ADD THEM INTO ONE AND THREE TO BRING THAT OVERALL DEVIATION, WHICH UNDER THE CURRENT BENCHMARK IS UP AT 45.19.

OBVIOUSLY WELL OVER THE 10% STANDARD. SO HOW DO WE HOW DO WE MOVE THAT POPULATION TO GET IT BACK DOWN BELOW THAT 10% REQUIREMENT. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE GUIDED THIS PROCESS IS IN ONE OF OUR EARLIER MEETINGS, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED SOME REDISTRICTING CRITERIA AND AGAIN, THESE ARE THINGS THAT THE COUNCIL LOOKS AT, JUST IN MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE MAP TO BRING IT BACK INTO BALANCE. USING IDENTIFIABLE BOUNDARIES, SUCH AS ROADWAYS OR GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES , MAINTAINING COMMUNITIES OF INTERESTS IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. USING WHOLE VOTING PRECINCTS WHERE POSSIBLE AND PRACTICAL CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER CRITERIA. BEST IN THE PLAN ON THE EXISTING DISTRICTS AGAIN. WE WEREN'T GOING IN TRYING TO REDRAW THE WHOLE MAP THAT CREATES CONFUSION. WE'RE BASICALLY JUST TRYING TO GET THE DISTRICTS AS THEY ARE BACK INTO BALANCE BACK INTO COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW. MAKING SURE THAT THOSE DISTRICTS ARE RELATIVELY EQUAL IN SIZE. KEEPING THE DISTRICT'S COMPACT AND CONTIGUOUS KEEPING INCUMBENTS IN THEIR DISTRICTS. AND THAT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING INCUMBENT CONSTITUENCY RELATIONSHIPS. UM AND THEN TAILORING THE PLAN TO COMPLY WITH THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT. SO YOU FORGOT ONE. THAT'S WHAT DID I FORGET KEEPING THE PERSON WHO IS ELECTED IN THE DISTRICT AS WELL. THAT'S THE ONE KEEPING INCUMBENTS IN THEIR DISTRICT. WHERE'S ON THE BOTTOM ON THE LEFT THERE. YEAH NO, ABSOLUTELY, AND THAT IS CERTAINLY AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION. AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHY THAT'S AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION. SURELY THIS IS THE PLAN. AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF DRAWING SESSIONS WITH A COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL HAS GONE THROUGH A FEW ITERATIONS. AND THIS IS THE LAST ONE THAT WE HAVE. UH, WE'RE CALLING IT PLANNED THE REVISED BECAUSE IT INCORPORATES THE CHANGES THAT YOU ALL MADE. IT WASN'T THE LAST ONE THAT WE HAD. AT THE LAST DRAWING SESSION IN FEBRUARY. IT WASN'T THE LAST ONE THERE WAS TWO RIGHT? THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE DREW AT THE LAST SESSION. THIS IS ONE THAT WELL, YEAH, YOU DREW IT, BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONE THAT WE WERE IN CLOSE. I NEVER AGREED TO GIVEN AWAY THAT PORTION DOWN THERE. THERE WAS TWO OF THEM THAT YOU WENT THAT WE ASKED YOU TO. TO LOOK AT THAT. THERE WASN'T JUST THIS ONE. WELL WE DO HAVE I HAVE THE PLAN C AND PLAN B, WHICH YOU CAN PULL UP AS WELL. SO ALL OF THOSE ARE AVAILABLE. UM THIS WAS JUST THE MOST RECENT. THIS IS THE ONE WE LEFT ON LAST TIME, WHICH I MY UNDERSTANDING. WASN'T I APOLOGIZE IF I MISUNDERSTOOD WAS THAT THAT WAS THE ONE THAT WE WANTED TO COME BACK WITH. BUT WE'LL BRING UP THE OTHER ONE AS WELL. I HAVE THOSE AVAILABLE FOR YOU. UM AND WE AND ALSO I SHOULD MENTION THAT WE DO HAVE DREW OUR G I S SPECIALIST WHO IS ALSO ON THE LINE. WE CAN BRING HIM UP. HE CAN BRING UP ALL OF THE MAPS

[00:35:01]

ABSOLUTELY. THESE TWO PLANS OR OTHER SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THE END OF THE DAY. YOU KNOW , WE'RE HERE TO FACILITATE YOUR ALL DRAWING THE MAP THAT WORKS BEST FOR THE CITY. CHART ON THE OTHER PLAN. THE CHART ON WE USED THE CHART ON PLAN D, PLEASE DREW. 10.49 DEVIATION. TO BOTH

[00:40:19]

PROPPING POST.

OKAY WELL, IF YOU ALL DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME, THEN WE CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE'LL PUT PLAN C BACK UP ON THE SCREEN SO THAT WE HAVE IT. DISPLAYED FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK AT.

WE ALSO HAVE THE BLOW UP MAP OF THE PLAN D AND THE CITIZEN MAP OVER HERE THAT SHOW UM THE DETAIL AND SO IF WE WANT TO INVITE FOLKS TO HAVE A FEW MINUTES TO COME UP AND LOOK AT THOSE BEFORE WE OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE COUNCIL'S DISCRETION. WE DO THAT OFTEN, AND THEN WE CAN GIVE FOLKS A CHANCE TO GIVE THEIR INPUT AND WE CAN GO FROM THERE. RIGHT? LET'S UM LET'S DO THAT. LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND I HAVE LISTENED TO SPEAK JULIE LUTON. HELLO, COUNCIL. UM, JULIE LUTON. I'M A 20 YEAR. 21 YEAR RESIDENT AT THIS POINT OF MAKENI. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. I'M HERE TO ADDRESS REDISTRICTING, BUT I HOPE YOU'LL JUST INDULGE ME FOR TWO MINUTES, TWO MINUTES. SORRY TWO SECONDS FOR TWO OTHER COMMENTS. ONE IS AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW. MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY IN JANUARY. FROM NOT FROM COVID, BUT PANCREATIC CANCER. AND THIS IS THE FIRST PUBLIC OPPORTUNITY. I'VE HAD TO THANK THIS ENTIRE COUNCIL FOR THE EMAILS, TAX FLOWERS AND SOME OF YOU EVEN ATTENDING HIS SERVICE. MY HUSBAND WAS THE BEST OF MEN AND MCKINNEY IS POORER FOR LOSING HIS SERVICE, HIS STEADINESS TO CHURCH TO COMMUNITY LIFELINE TO HABITAT INTO THE CITY OF MAKENI AS A WHOLE. THE KINDNESS OF HIS COUNSEL WAS STARTLING TO ME. UM AND VERY VERY HEARTBREAKING. AND I THANK YOU. MY FAMILY WAS VERY INSPIRED BY LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY THAT CARED SO MUCH, SO THANK YOU. SECONDLY, BECAUSE I KNOW TOO WELL WHAT LOSS LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. AND I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT HERE YET. COVID CASES ARISING AGAIN. I'D LIKE TO URGE THIS COMMUNITY TO TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. THE LAST HEADLINE I SAW SAID THAT OVER A MILLION AMERICANS HAVE DIED FROM COVID, AND THAT'S UNDERCOUNTED. THAT IS TOO MANY LOVED ONES GONE TOO MANY EMPTY SEATS AT DINNER. TOO MANY CHILDREN CRYING FOR THEIR MOTHERS AND THEIR FATHERS AND THEIR BROTHERS AND THEIR SISTERS. SO PLEASE, JUST TAKE CARE OF THE BEST YOU CAN AND IF IT COMES TO IT BE SAFE RATHER THAN SORRY. WHICH BRINGS ME TO REDISTRICTING. MINE IS ONE OF THE PLANS THAT HAVE CONSIDERATION AND I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS. I JUST ASKED THAT AS WE CONSIDER THE NUMBERS AND THE DEVIATIONS AND THE LAWS THAT WE MUST RIGHTFULLY FOLLOW. YOU REMEMBER THAT THE REAL REASON THIS IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY OF MAKENI. IS NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL SEATS, ALTHOUGH THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED, OF COURSE, BUT THAT YOU REPRESENT A BEAUTIFULLY DIVERSE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE DIFFERENT SKIN COLORS, RELIGIONS, COMMUNITIES AGES, FAMILY STATUS, POLITICAL BELIEFS , BUT WE ARE ALL PART OF MAKENI.

WE ALL DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR PERSPECTIVES TO BE HEARD BY COUNSEL TO BE CONSIDERED IN INCLUDED IN ZONING, ECONOMIC DOUBT, DEVELOPMENT AND IN OUR CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS. IF YOU KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT VERY BASIC FOUNDATION OF WHY WE'RE MAKING THIS DECISION. AND I'M SURE THAT YOU WILL DO SO WE WILL END UP WITH A MAP THAT WILL MAKE OUR COMMUNITY STRONGER. COUNCIL MEMBER PHILLIPS MENTIONED IN ONE OF YOUR VERY LONG WORK SESSIONS THAT YOU'VE HAD EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT HE THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE PILLARS THAT THE CITY FOLLOWS. I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT WORD. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT NEEDS TO BE AN OFFICIAL MOTTO OR NOT, BUT THAT GOAL OF BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO ALL SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD TO ME. SO MAYBE YOU LEAD WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO ALL OF MAKENI WITH ALL OF OUR DIFFERENCES IN OUR PERSPECTIVES. IF WE DO THAT, THEN WE'LL BE OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, JULIE AND WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. IT WAS A VERY BIG LOSS. I HAVE NOBODY

[00:45:04]

AND THE SCHEDULE THAT WE WERE PLANNING ON WAS JUNE 7TH FOR BOTH OF THESE TWO MAPS. IS THERE ANY CHANGES IN THAT. PLAN. SORRY, MARK, COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? THE SCHEDULE THAT I WAS WORKING WITH WAS JUST TO BRING THESE TWO MAPS BACK ON JUNE 7TH FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE APPROVAL. OKAY WITH ME, MAN WITH ME, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME. NO, SIR. OKAY, I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING WON'T BE BACK ON THE SET. NOT UNLESS YOU ALL NEED ME. I THINK WE HAVE THE CHANGES MADE. IF WE NEED TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES, WE CAN HAVE THAT DONE REMOTELY. BUT RIGHT NOW, I THINK WE HAVE SOME ALTERNATIVES FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER AND VOTE ON. AND IF WE NEED MORE, JUST LET US KNOW. MR MAYOR, MAN HAVE TO STICK STEPPED DOWN ON THIS NEXT TIME. AGAIN. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. NEXT

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request for a Private Street Subdivision (Aster Park), Located on the North Side of FM 1461 and Approximately One Mile East of FM 2478, and Accompanying Ordinance]

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. AS YOU READ, THIS IS A S U P REQUEST FOR A PRIVATE STREET SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS ASTOR PARK. LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF MCKINNEY BEFORE I LAUNCH INTO SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE REQUEST THAT JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT REQUEST FOR PRIVATE STREET SUBDIVISION IS ESSENTIALLY ASKING FOR A GATED COMMUNITY SO WITHIN OUR CODE THAT DOES REQUIRE AN S U P FOR THAT TO BE CONSIDERED. SO THE PROPOSAL LET'S SEE IF I CAN GO IS FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH IS OWNED PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT, AND IT ALLOWS FOR A RANGE OF PRESIDENTIAL PRODUCT TYPES. THE U. P FOR THEIR PRIVATE STREET SUBDIVISION IS SPECIFIC TO THE SINGLE FAMILY COMPONENTS OF THIS OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN AND I APOLOGIZE. IT'S ROTATED. UM, IS THAT THE PROPOSED PRIVATE STREET SUBDIVISION IS ACTUALLY A SERIES OF NEIGHBORHOODS UNDER ONE LARGER PLAN. SO WHILE THE REQUEST IS FOR A SINGLE S U P IT WOULD ALLOW FOR BELIEVE IT'S FOR INDEPENDENT PRIVATE STREET SUBDIVISIONS. WHEN CONSIDERING A PRIVATE STREET SUBDIVISION. THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS SET STAFF IS ASKED TO CONSIDER THOSE ARE OUTLINED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT. BUT MOST NOTABLY, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS ENSURING THAT IT DOES NOT CREATE ANY SORT OF BREAKAGES AND THE CITY'S ANTICIPATED STREET NETWORK, NOR DOES IT CREATE ANY BIG BREAKAGES IN OUR HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL SYSTEM. SO STAFF HAS EVALUATED THAT REQUEST. WE DO FEEL AS THOUGH IT IS IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OR CONSIDERATION POINTS TO BE APPROVED. AND WE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT TO TIE DOWN THE S U. P EXHIBIT AND EXACTLY WHERE THOSE PRIVATE STREETS WILL BE LOCATED.

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PACKET IS A CONCEPT PLAN THAT OUTLINES SORT OF WHERE THOSE, UH MASONRY WALLS AND GATE FEATURES WOULD BE LOCATED ALONG WITH AN ENTRY EXHIBIT FOR THE PROPERTY. SO WITH THAT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS CONSIDERED THE ITEM AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL AND STAFF IS ALSO IN SUPPORT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

PUBLIC HEARING AND I DO HAVE WELL, THE APPLICANT FIRST THE AFRICAN IS HERE. THAT GREER. MR MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS GARY MCDOWELL. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF DEVELOPER I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. QUESTIONS. STAFF, I THINK CONVEYED EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. I DON'T SHOW ANYONE ASSIGNED TO SPEAK. BUT IF YOU ARE HERE AND SPEAK TO THE ADAM, PLEASE PRESENT YOURSELF. I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABOUT TO GET UP BECAUSE EXCITED THIS IS THE FIRST LOT WITH THAT? IS THERE AN EMOTION? TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IMPROVE THIS ITEM. CIRCUIT. CAST YOUR VOTES.

[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request for Qualifications for Future Affordable Housing Development Utilizing Public Private Partnership with the McKinney Housing Finance Corporation]

[00:50:02]

WE DID HAVE, UM, REQUEST TO POSSIBLY DO IT ALL NORTH OF THREE EIGHTIES AND THE REASON IT'S NOT IN THERE. WE DID NOT SAY THAT WE STATED ALL WEST OF 75 IS BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE SOME DEVELOPMENT DEALS THAT ARE REHABS AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY UP AND RUNNING THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY PARTNER WITH TO REDEVELOP. CRYSTAL WALKED ME THROUGH WITH A REHAB MIGHT LOOK LIKE I'M THINKING OF A COUPLE PROPERTIES WEST TO 75. IN MY ESTIMATION, MIGHT BENEFIT FROM A REHAB. BUT WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? WITH THE REHAB.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES OF EVERY DAY IS WHEN I AM IN THE LEFT HAND DEDICATED TURN LANE, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GO NORTH ON THE ACCESS ROAD ON HIGHWAY 75. BECAUSE I GAZE UP INTO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT TO DOWNTOWN TO THE WATER TOWER AND I SEE TREES, TREES, TREES. YOU KNOW, THESE TREES WORKED HERE 100 AND 50 YEARS AGO WE WERE THE BLACK LINE PRAIRIE AND TO SEE WHAT THE BLACK LINE PRAIRIE LOOKED LIKE. GO AFTER THE HERD MUSEUM WHERE THEY HAVE UNDISTURBED BLACK LYNN PRAIRIE OUT THERE. NOW I KNOW THAT IN THE WETLANDS, THERE WERE TREES.

I KNOW THAT THE FARMERS PLANTED TREES TO SEPARATE THE THEIR THEIR FARMS TO MAKE TREE LINES.

HE IS FROM IRELAND. AND HE CAME HERE TO QUALIFY AS WELL. HE MISSED BY ONE STROKE THE WAY GOLF WORKS. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING IN A QUALIFIER, WE HAD TERRIBLE STORMS SUNDAY NIGHT. UM HE HE, OF COURSE WAS IN THE EARLY MORNING, SO HE'S PLAYING THROUGH MUD AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND BY MIDDAY, SO HE HE HAD QUITE A DISADVANTAGE FROM IRELAND DOESN'T RAIN ALL THE TIME FROM IRELAND, PLAYING OUT OF FRANCE PLAYING ON THE EUROPEAN TOUR? NO NO, HE'S PLAYING ALL OVER IN THE EMIRATES. UH SO ANYWAY, HE MISSED IT BY A STROKE WITH THIS MAN'S 24 YEARS OLD WATCH FOR HIM . HE IS GOING TO BE A FORCED TO CONTEND WITH AND MORE THAN THAT.

HE HAS A SUPER HUMAN BEING. THAT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE JOY AND PLEASURE BEING WITH US IN OUR HOME FOR THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. BYRON NELSON WORKING YOU SAY HAS BEEN SAID JUST REALLY FANTASTIC POLICE FIRE E. M S SALESMANSHIP CLUB. EVERYBODY INVOLVED EMPTY BOWLS. I DON'T KNOW THAT. YOU KNOW, I BOUGHT YOUR BOWL. THAT'S ME. I BOUGHT COUNCILMAN FILTERS BOWL. IT WAS FANTASTIC. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT IT WAS YOURS. I WAS DRAWN TO IT BEFORE I KNEW IT WAS YOURS, BY THE WAY. UM AND BOUGHT IT. I HAVEN'T PICKED IT UP YET, BUT I PAID FOR IT, SO I GOT TO PICK IT UP. UM AND THE ONLY OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE YOU KNOW THE POLICE I WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE EVENT I HAPPEN TO ENCOUNTER POLICE OFFICER THAT WAS SPEAKING TO A WOMAN THAT AT THAT MOMENT THIS WOMAN WAS BEING COMPLETELY DEFIANT. THERE IS THE ROAD WAS CLOSED, AND THE OFFICER WAS TELLING THIS WOMAN THAT SHE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GO DOWN THIS ROAD FOR SAFETY REASONS. SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE NOTHING OF IT. SHE WAS GOING TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD. AND I RIGHT OR WRONG, ULTIMATELY INTERJECTED AND APOLOGIZE TO THE OFFICER FOR INTERJECTING, BUT I SAID TO THE WOMAN, YOU NEED TO RESPECT THIS OFFICER. YOU NEED TO RESPECT WHAT HE IS TELLING YOU. HE'S THERE'S A REASON WHY HE'S TELLING YOU. AND SHE SAID TO ME, I DO RESPECT OUR POLICE. AND I SAID, WELL, RESPECTING IS , OF COURSE, DOING WHAT THEY TELL YOU WHEN YOU DON'T AGREE. NOT JUST WHEN YOU DO. AND TO THAT WOMAN'S CREDIT, BY THE WAY , SHE CAME BACK, APPARENTLY ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. AND PROFUSELY. FROM WHAT I'M TOLD APOLOGIZE TO THE OFFICER. SHE REALIZED HE WAS WRONG TO DO THAT. SO FOR SHE IS A STAND UP PERSON. THAT WAS GREAT, BUT REMINDED ME ALSO OF BEING AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING LAST MEETING. WHEN THE POLICE HAD TO REMOVE SOME PEOPLE, AND THERE WAS A GROUP AT THAT MEETING. UM THAT WERE CHEERING ON OR EGGING ON THE PEOPLE THAT WERE BEING TOLD TO LEAVE BY THE POLICE TO NOT LEAVE. AND IT'S THE SAME. I WON'T GO POLITICAL, BUT IT'S THE GROUP THAT WE, YOU KNOW, CLAIMS LAW AND ORDER. ON ORDER IS NOT WHEN YOU JUST AGREE. IT'S WOULDN'T DISAGREE. AGREE TO YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTION OF OUR POLICE. YOU RESPECT OUR POLICE AND I WITNESSED THAT NOT HAPPENING IN SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY , AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. OUR POLICE ARE AWESOME. YOU NEED TO RESPECT ALL POLICE ALL CITIES. BUT DON'T EVER STAND UP AND SAY YOU ARE LAW AND ORDER SUPPORTER. BUT WHEN THEY GIVE A DIRECTION THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH, DISOBEY OR ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BECAUSE YOU ARE A FRAUD AND A PHONY AS A LAW AND ORDER PERSON, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. UM AND THAT'S THE NICEST WAY I CAN SAY IT, SO I HOPE THAT
