GOOD AFTERNOON. WE CAS MEETING TO ORDER. TODAY IS TUESDAY, JUNE 7TH YEAR, 2022
[CALL TO ORDER]
WERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS TO 22 NORTH TENNESSEE STREET, AND IT IS 3053 OR FOUR IN THE[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS]
AFTERNOON. FIRST ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS I DO SHOW WE HAVE CLINT SCOFIELD HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. AND IF YOU COME UP STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. I THINK YOU KNOW THE DRILL. MY NAME IS CLINT SCOFIELD. I LOOKED AT 11 01 HILL STREET. HERE. THE SH AFTERNOON TO ADVOCATE A FORM OF TAX FREEZE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. AH! PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME WHY. WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED? MEETING MYSELF? AND FRANKLY, I'VE HAD A BACKGROUND THAT'S REALLY CHANGED MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE, PARTICULARLY THE LAST 10 YEARS, ONE BEING WITH THE. THE COUNTY'S MEAL ON WHEELS, MEALS ON WHEELS, AND IT'S GIVEN ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE LOTS OF OLDER PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE ISSUES. UM. MOSTLY FINANCIAL, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND I'VE DONE SOME PASTORAL WORK WHEN ASKED FOR OUR CHURCH AND HAVE BEEN WITH MANY SHUT INS IN THE MCKINNEY AREA. AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. UM WHEN I WAS ALSO IN THE R B, THE APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD FOR COLLIN COUNTY, AND OFTENTIMES THERE WOULD BE FOLKS THAT WOULD COME IN. THAT WOULD LITERALLY BE IN TEARS BECAUSE EITHER THEIR FAMILIES WERE TORN OR THEY THEMSELVES WERE TORN WITH WHAT TO DO WITH BEING ABLE TO TAXES. SO THE ONE ADVANTAGE THAT I SEE WITH SOME SORT OF TAX FREEZE IS PREDICTABILITY. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME EFFORTS TO HAVE SYMBOL. DOLLAR VALUE PROVIDED TO TAXPAYERS HERE IN MCKINNEY THAT ARE OVER 65. BUT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE MORE DEFINE HERBAL. I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT HERE IN MCKINNEY 8900 PROPERTY OWNERS ARE OVER 65 70,000 OUT OF A TOTAL OF 70,000. I DO WANT TO MENTION. A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES THAT ALREADY HAVE FREEZES IN PLACE. IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA. ARLINGTON FORT WORTH , GRANDE PRAIRIE, LEWISVILLE, MESQUITE, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS.PRINTED IN PROSPER. PLANO WYLIE , SOUTH LAKE, THERE'S A BUNCH OF THEM. AND I HAVE TO ASK MYSELF.
THAT MANY MUNICIPALITIES THEY MUST BE DOING IT FOR A REASON. AND HONESTLY, I'M SURE IT ALL COMES DOWN TO PRIORITIES. WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES SO I'D ASK ALL OF YOU. TO CONSIDER.
SOMETHING AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE 65. IT COULD BE 70. YOU COULD BE 75.
LET'S START SOMEWHERE AND DO THE DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE LIFE MORE DEFINED NOBLE FOR THOSE THAT REALLY NEED IT TOWARD THE END OF THEIR LIVES. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, SIR. BECAUSE I DON'T SHOW ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. REMOVED TO DISCUSS REGULAR MEETING AGENDA ITEMS. IF THERE IS ANY ITEM ON THE REGULAR AGENDA COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH STAFF NOW. MAKE THAT KNOWN. AND COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS HAS ONE. SORRY. OH, I HAD SOMETHING IF I RUN ACROSS AT
[Presentation on Type A/B Sales Tax for Roadway Infrastructure Investment]
ALL, HOLLER AT YOU, MR MAYOR. ALRIGHT THEN WE WILL MOVE TO OUR WORK SESSION ITEMS TO 20491 PRESENTATION ON TYPE A B SALES TAX FOR ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT. SCHAKOWSKY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? YEAH MAN. GOOD AFTERNOON. MAYOR CITY COUNCIL RYAN GILLINGHAM, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS SO TODAY WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE, SO THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR FIFTH PRESENTATION ON THIS TOPIC. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE ARE PRESENTATION IS GENERALLY GOING TO BE BROKEN UP INTO TWO PARTS. REALLY. IT'S BACKGROUND OF WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE. AND THEN IT'S OPERATIONALIZE IN THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION, WHICH IS THE SECOND PART OF OUR PRESENTATION . SO LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN. IT'S HELPFUL FIRST TO SHOW WHAT OUR GOAL IS FOR THE ROADWAY PROGRAM. I IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP MAINTENANCE, REHABILITATION AND FUNDING STRATEGIES FOR PRESERVING AND REPLACING EXISTING RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE.[00:05:04]
SO I WOULD SAY THAT OUR PROCESS TO DATE HAS FOLLOWED WHAT I WOULD CALL IT TRADITIONAL PUBLIC POLICY DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK WHERE WE COLLECT DATA. WE ASSESS THE DATA. WE TALK ABOUT PROBLEMS. WE IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS . WE TALK ABOUT FUNDING OPTIONS. WE REFINE THOSE FUNDING OPTIONS AND THEN THE LAST PIECES THE POLICY DIRECTION, SO THIS PROCESS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, STARTING IN NOVEMBER OF 2020 WITH THE COLLECTION OF THE DATA FROM OUR CONSULTANT FUTURO. UP TO NOW, WITH THE CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP. A NUMBER FIVE TONIGHT.IN TERMS OF BACKGROUND. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SLIDE THAT WE'VE SHOWED BEFORE AND WHAT THIS SLIGHTEST SHOWING IS. THESE ARE THIS IS A MODEL LOOKING FORWARD IN TERMS OF WHAT ARE PREDICTIVE PAYMENT CONDITION INDEX SCORES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFERENT FUNDING OPTIONS. AND SO THERE'S REALLY TWO IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS SLIDE. THE FIRST IS WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS ONE, WHICH IS THE MORE THAT YOU INVEST IN ROADWAYS. THE HIGHER YEAR AVERAGE PC SCORE IS GOING TO BE AND THEN THE SECOND ONE IS YOU'LL LOOK AT SPECIFICALLY WHAT DOES A $20 MILLION INVESTMENT GETS YOU IN TERMS OF WHAT THE EXPECTED PC SCORE WILL BE AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE ARE GENERALLY REPRESENTED BY THE TOP TWO LINES IF THE CITY WANTED TO MAINTAIN ITS LEVEL. 71 PC INDEX . THE INVESTMENT WOULD BE ABOUT $30 MILLION PER YEAR, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THESE NUMBERS REPEATED AND SLIDES HERE IN A SECOND. IN TERMS OF THE HISTORICAL SPENDING BY THE CITY ON ROADWAYS. WE'VE BROKEN IT UP INTO TWO PARTS HERE. THE FIRST OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH ARE GENERALLY ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTIONS, AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTING NEW ROADWAYS. AND THEN THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET, WHICH IS THINK OF FILLING POTHOLES OR MAKING A PAYMENT REPAIRS. CONCRETE REPAIRS ON THE TOP CHART. WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS ABOUT IS 20 YEARS OF EXPENDITURES ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. THE RED BARS REPRESENT CONSTRUCTION OF NEW ROADWAYS AND THE GREEN BARS REPRESENT RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING ROADWAYS. WHEN WE BREAK DOWN THOSE AVERAGES, YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PIE CHART ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CITY SPENDS ABOUT $4.3 MILLION PER YEAR ON RECONSTRUCTION AND ABOUT $11 MILLION ON NEW ROADWAYS. IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE. WE SPEND ABOUT $2.3 MILLION PER YEAR ON FIXING POTHOLES AND REPAIRING ROADWAYS. BASED ON THE FIVE MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD OUR EXCUSE ME THE FOUR MEETINGS PLUS THIS ONE. WE'VE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL FEEDBACK AND THEN WE'LL GO OVER THIS YEAR. FIRST THAT RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE FUNDED AT A HIGHER LEVEL. SECOND THAT THERE WAS LONG TERM, UM ARE THEIR SUPPORT FOR LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE FUNDING SOURCE FOR ROADWAY THAT GROW OVER TIME. THIRD THAT THE RAILWAY MAINTENANCE SALES TAX REFERENDUM WAS NOT PREFERRED AND FORTH. THE PHASING IN OF ROADWAY FUNDING IS PREFERRED. SO IT'S THESE FIRST FOUR ITEMS THAT UM, FLOAT INTO WHAT WAS THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNCIL AT THE LAST MEETING, WHICH WAS THAT THERE WAS SUPPORT FOR DESIGNATING FUTURE TYPING AND TYPING SALES TAX REVENUES FOR ROADWAY INVESTMENTS THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
AND THIS WAS OPTION THREE. WHERE FUTURE UM SALES TAX GROWTH WAS DEDICATED TOWARDS ROADWAYS, THE USE OF THE TYPE A AND TYPE B MONEY FOR ROADWAYS THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN THAT MONEY THAT WAS USED FOR THOSE ROADWAYS WOULD THINK ABOUT PUT TOWARDS EXISTING ROADWAYS.
SO IN TERMS OF OUR BUDGET FOR OUR THE MODEL THAT WE CREATED FOR LOOKING AT THIS INVESTMENT OPTION, YOU CAN SEE THE ASSUMPTIONS THERE ON THE LEFT. THIS IS THE 50 50 SPLIT OF FUTURE SALES TAX GROWTH. FIRST THERE'S A BASELINE NUMBER OF 40 MILLION THAT'S SET FOR THE AMOUNT OF SALES TAX AND THAT'S IN FISCAL YEAR 2022. SALES TAX GROWTH IS ASSUMED TO BE 5% AND THEN 50% OF THE FUTURE REVENUES THAN ARE EARMARKED FOR ROADWAYS THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN THERE'S A CAP, WHICH IS THE QUARTER CENT SALES TAX AMOUNT THAT WOULD KICK IN IN FUTURE YEARS. ONCE THE GROWTH REACHED A CERTAIN SALES TAX GROWTH REACHED A CERTAIN AMOUNT. WHEN YOU LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT THE NUMBERS IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNTS, LET'S FIRST LOOK AT YEAR ONE. YOU CAN SEE THAT. THERE'S REVENUES OF ABOUT 25 OR 20.5 MILLION THAT GO TO THE M. E. D. C AND THE CDC. AND THEN THE ROADWAY INVESTMENT OR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS ROADWAYS THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ABOUT $1 MILLION IN YEAR, 10. YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE AMOUNTS ARE 26.3 MILLION FOR THE MEDS AND THE CDC. IN ABOUT 14.2 MILLION FOR ROADWAYS. AND THEN IF YOU SUM UP THE 10 YEAR TOTAL FOR THOSE AMOUNTS, YOU'LL SEE THAT IT'S $232 MILLION FOR THE M E. D. C AND THE CDC. AND THEN APPROXIMATELY 64.1 MILLION WOULD
[00:10:02]
GO TOWARDS ROADWAYS THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF BUDGET THAT GOES TOWARDS ROADWAYS YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE LINE REPRESENTS THE $30 MILLION TARGET THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. AND THE YELLOW LINE REPRESENTS THE $20 MILLION FUNDING TARGET. SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CHART, WE ASSUME THAT THE AMOUNT OF GENERAL FUND AS WELL AS BOND FUNDS THAT ARE GOING TOWARDS ROADWAYS NOW WOULD CONTINUE THE GRAPE. THE GRAY BAR REPRESENTS THE SALES TAX OFFSET FROM THE PRIOR CHART. AND THEN THE GREEN AMOUNT WOULD BE IN A BOND AMOUNT THAT THE COUNCIL SO CHOSE, THEY COULD ALLOCATE TO, UM PROVIDE THAT AMOUNT IN ORDER TO REACH THAT $20 MILLION TARGET . THAT AMOUNT IS ABOUT $55.3 MILLION IN THIS PARTICULAR CHART HERE WE ASSUME 5% SALES TAX GROWTH. AND 3% INFLATION. SO AT THIS POINT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO GARY GRAHAM, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING THAT'S GOING TO TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ROADWAYS AND SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, RYAN. SO. HOW DO WE UTILIZE FOR A TYPE TYPE A AND TYPE B FUNDING FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE ALLOWS FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF BDC AND M C D. C SALES TAX ON INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING STREETS, ROADS FOUND BY THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS TO PROMOTE AND DEVELOP NEW OR EXPANDED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES. WITH THESE FINDINGS, THE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION OR REHABILITATION OF ELIGIBLE STREETS AND ROADS. SO THAT MAKES THE QUESTION WHAT'S INELIGIBLE STREET IN THE ROAD. SO STAFF HIRED KIM LEE HORN. THERE ARE NATIONAL CONSULTANT. WE USE THEM TO DO OUR ROADWAY IMPACT FEE STUDY EVERY FIVE YEARS. THAT'S A STATE REQUIRED TIME FRAME. TO LOOK AT. THIS QUESTION FOR US, AND WE ASKED THEM. HOW CAN YOU PROVIDE A NEXUS OF ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? WRONG SLIDE. OKAY IMAGINE A SLIDE UP THERE THAT SHOWS THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN. UM SO. THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE SHOWS ALL OF OUR ARTERIALS ON THAT ARE ADAPTED TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SO THEY HAVE ARTERIALS MINOR ARTERIALS THAT ALSO SHOWS. UM IT ALSO SHOWS SOME MAJOR HIGHWAYS 3 80 US 75. THOSE THOSE ROADS ARE CLEARLY NOT CITY RESPONSIBILITY IN THEIR TEXT THAT RESPONSIBILITY. UM THE, UM. THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS IS GREAT. STRUGGLING TODAY , THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN DEFINES, UM PRINCIPAL MATERIALS, MINOR MATERIALS, GREENWAY ARTERIALS AND ALSO GOES DOWN TO TOWN THOROUGHFARES. WHAT CAN WE HORN SAID, IS ALL THOSE ROADWAYS, MINOR CEREALS AND ABOVE CLEARLY SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THEY TRANSPORT CITIZENS FROM THEIR RESIDENTS IN THE RESIDENTIAL AND COLLECTOR STREETS DOWN TO THE MATERIALS.TO THEIR PLACE. EMPLOYMENT ALSO PROMOTES THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES ALONG THE CORRIDORS. YOU HAVE SOME THAT ARE INDUSTRIAL PARKS ALONG THESE AREAS AS WELL. AND SO IF THE ROADWAY AS ON KINLEY HORNS FINDINGS IF THE ROADWAY IS ON THE THIRD AIRPLANE, IT SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE TYPE A AND TYPE B FUNDING. THERE ARE A FEW WE HAVE TOWN THOROUGHFARES AND ALSO THERE ARE ON THE THIRD FLOOR PLAN, AND WE ALSO HAVE COLLECTORS THAT ARE NOT ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN THAT PROBABLY MOST OF THE TIME DO NOT PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEPICTED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. BUT THERE ARE CASES WHERE IT DOES, AND KEMPTHORNE'S FINDINGS ALSO SAID ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, WE SHOULD LOOK AT THOSE ROADWAYS. AND PRESENT THEM AS POSSIBLE. OPPORTUNITIES AN EXAMPLE OF THAT ROAD IS A COUCH DRIVE COUCH DRIVE CONNECTS INDUSTRIAL DOWN TO HARRY MCKILLOP BOULEVARD OVER ON THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE TOWN. THE ONLY THING ALONG THOSE ALONG COUCH DRIVE ARE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES, WE HAVE WITHDRAWN. WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, UM, READY MIX GROUP OVER THERE FOR THE QUICK, CREATE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY'S OVER THERE SO CLEARLY THAT ROADWAY SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND SO IF IT WAS A NEW ROADWAY, WE WOULD SUPPORT IT . IF IT'S A RECONSTRUCTION. WE WOULD ALSO IF THAT ROAD IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE, IT CAN'T FUNCTION THE WAY IT NEEDS TO SUPPORT THOSE BUSINESSES. ALL RIGHT NOW BACK TO THE SLIDE SHOW. WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS. TWO STAFF WILL BE BRINGING A RESOLUTION AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THAT WOULD ADOPT A
[00:15:03]
RESOLUTION TO PARTNER WITH D. C AND M E. D. C TO DESIGNATE A PORTION OF THE TYPE A AND TYPE B SALES TAX FOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE RESOLUTION WOULD FOCUS ON THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY PROVIDED BY THE TEXAS LOCAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 501.103 THAT PROVIDES THE ABILITY TO DO THIS. WOULD OUTLINE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT IS TO PROMOTE AND DEVELOP NEW OR EXPANDED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES WITHIN THE CITY. IT WOULD IDENTIFY THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN AS THE TOOLS IDENTIFY FUTURE PROJECTS. AND THEN IT WOULD REPORT YEARLY DISCUSS REPORTING YEARLY TO THE TWO BOARDS ON PROJECT MAGNIFICATION AND PROGRESS. AND THEN PROVIDE A CLAUSE THAT WE REALLY LOOK AT THIS POINT AN AND HAS EFFECTIVENESS AND THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM IN 10 YEARS. IN THE MEANTIME. ENGINEERING STAFF ALONG WITH FINANCE. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR BOND OPTIONS TO FUND THE PROBLEM PROJECTS THAT WE NEED TO GET FUNDED. NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF ROAD MAINTENANCE. WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE IDENTICAL FUNDING IS IDENTIFIED AND BE BUILT. SO WE WILL CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING RANKING RECOMMENDED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AS PART OF THE FIVE YEAR SIPPY THE COUNCIL ADOPTS EVERY YEAR DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. UM AS WE TALKED ABOUT ADDING FUNDING TO THE BUCKETS THAT ENGINEERING CAN CONSIDER WITH SIP PROGRAMS JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT EACH ONE OF THE BUCKETS. WE HAVE NOW HAS SOME SORT OF STRING ATTACHED TO IT NOW. I HAVE LISTED THE MAJOR SOURCES WE HAVE HERE ON THE LEFT. WE HAVE GENERAL FIND OBLIGATION BONDS, WHICH ARE VOTE AUTHORIZED BONDS. WE HAVE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES INCLUDED TYPE A AND TYPE B FANS, AND WE HAVE GRANTS. STARTING TO TAP.THOSE ARE THE MOST FLEXIBLE AS YOU GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. YOU LOOK AT THE GRANTS FROM COLLIN COUNTY, THE COG OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THOSE ARE VERY PROJECT SPECIFIC, AND MONEY CAN ONLY SPEND ON THOSE PARTICULAR PROJECTS. YOU LOOK AT RODEWAY IMPACT FEES. THOSE ARE TIED GEOGRAPHICALLY WITHIN THE CITY TO A CERTAIN REGIONS BASED ON WHERE THEIR DEVELOPMENT OCCURRED . SO ADDING ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE THAT HAS SOME STRINGS THAT TIED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. NOT AN ISSUE. THE FINEST DEPARTMENT AND ENGINEERING. WE LOOK AT THESE CONSTRAINTS EVERY YEAR AS WE PUT TOGETHER THE SIP. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RECOMMENDED PROJECTS WE PUT FORTH FOR YOUR APPROVAL IN THE CITY KEEPS YOU OUT OF HOT WATER AS WELL. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ROADWAY TYPES JUST HITTING ON THIS ONE MORE TIME. WE HAVE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ROAD RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. ARTERIALS MINOR MATERIALS. DEFINITELY FOR BOTH CATEGORIES ARE PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THIS TYPE OF FUNDING COLLECTORS WOULD BE A CASE BY CASE BASIS AND THEN CLEARLY, RESIDENTIAL STREETS WOULDN'T BE AN OPTION. EITHER NEW CONSTRUCTION WHICH THE CITY RARELY DOES, IF EVER, AND THEN ALSO THE RECONSTRUCTION, WHICH WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF RECONSTRUCTING THOSE ONCE THEY GET THEIR USEFUL LIFE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RAILWAY PROJECTS, WHAT ITEMS DO THOSE INCLUDE SO AS THE BOARDS THINK ABOUT FUTURE PROJECTS WE COULD BRING FORWARD WITH THEM. THAT INCLUDES THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES OF GRADING PAVING. DRAINAGE BREAK STRUCTURES, TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND LIGHTING RIGHT AWAY IN EASTMAN ACQUISITION AND THEN ALSO THE SOFT COSTS OF ENGINEERING SURVEY. GEO TECH MATERIAL TESTING. SO THAT AND THAT SHOWS HOW WE OPERATIONALIZE THESE TYPE A AND TYPE B FUNDS. AND SO RYAN AND I WERE HERE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THE WHOLE TEAM IS HERE. IF YOU HAVE WHATEVER WHATEVER I CAN ANSWER FOR YOU. UM THREE MAJOR. YOU HAVE SOME MR MAYOR. THANK YOU. AND BEFORE WE DO THE Q AND A. I JUST WANTED TO SUMMARIZE A COUPLE OF THINGS LIKE THEY'RE A COUPLE OF POINTS TO SORT OF. ROLL IT ALL UP. SO THIS HAS BEEN AS RYAN AND GARY MENTIONED A PRETTY LENGTHY PROCESS. AND IN THIS, OF COURSE THIS IS A THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT POLICY SHIFT. IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, AND AGAIN THE RESOLUTION WOULD BE BROUGHT FORWARD ON JUNE 21ST.
BUT THERE'S BEEN AN AWFUL LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT TAKING MONEY FROM ONE ENTITY THAT THE CITY'S TAKING MONEY FROM THE TYPE A OR TYPE B CORPORATIONS. IN THE REALITY IS THERE'S NOBODY'S TAKING ANYBODY'S MONEY. THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS. THE MONEY IS STILL COLLECTED, AND IT'S STILL COLLECTED THE HALF CENT FOR EACH ENTITY. WHAT THE COUNCIL WOULD BE DOING, THOUGH, IS BASICALLY DESIGNATING HOW WE WANT WHAT THE PRIORITIES ARE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND HOW WE WANT TO SALES TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED. IN THE MONEY WOULD BE SPENT ACCORDINGLY. WHAT THIS IS PROPOSING IS A PRETTY MILD ALLOCATION GOING FORWARD PROSPECTIVELY THAT HALF OF FUTURE SALES TAXES. ABOVE A CERTAIN BASELINE. WE THINK IT'S GONNA BE AROUND $20 MILLION AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. UM THAT HALF OF THE FUTURE GROWTH WOULD BE ALLOCATED TOWARDS THIS INITIATIVE, AND IT'S AN INITIATIVE THAT ALL ENTITIES THE CITY THE E. D. C AND THE CDC WOULD COMMIT AND SALES TAX DOLLARS. TOWARDS CITY INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE. UM THESE ARE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR TERMS. THIS IS AN EXPENDITURE. SO A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. THESE ARE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN STATE STATUTE IN THE ENABLING LEGISLATION FOR WHAT ECONOMIC
[00:20:05]
DEVELOPMENT WITH SALES TAX DOLLARS UNDER TYPE A AND TYPE B. IT CAN BE USED FOR ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE IS A FUNDAMENTALLY PROVIDED FOR EXPENDITURE. WHEN THE COUNCIL.OPTED THEY THERE'S A COUPLE OF DECISIONS THEY MADE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS. ONE WAS WE'RE NOT GOING TO BOND IT. WE DON'T WANT TO ISSUE DEBT. AND PUT IT ALL ALL THE ROAD MAINTENANCE BECAUSE, REMEMBER, THE CATALYZING CONVERSATION WAS ROAD MAINTENANCE. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT INVESTING MORE IN OUR EXISTING ROADWAYS. AND WE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE GAVE YOU A SPECTRUM OF OPTIONS, ONE OF THEM ON THE ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM, WHICH YOU COULD JUST ISSUE DEBT . YOU COULD BORROW THE MONEY AND DO IT THAT WAY. THE OTHER END AS YOU COULD HAVE AN ELECTION AND HAVE A WHAT THEY CALL A ROADWAY MAINTENANCE OF, UM TAX ROAD TAX. UM, ELECTION AND THAT. I THINK THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDABLY SAID THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S GOING TO HIT OUR HEADS AND CDC PRETTY HARD BECAUSE THAT WOULD RESULT IN ACTUALLY TAKEN AWAY SOME MONEY IT THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN TYPE A AND TYPE. IT WOULD REMOVE THAT AND REALLOCATE IT TO ROAD MAINTENANCE. IN THAT SENSE, SO THE COUNCIL SAID, WE THAT'S TOO MUCH OF A CLUTCH POP. THAT'S TOO MUCH. OF AN IMPACT. WE'D LIKE STAFF TO LOOK AT A HYBRID APPROACH WHEN THE COUNCIL ASKED US TO LOOK AT THE HYBRID APPROACH, THAT'S HOW WE PIVOT INTO THIS APPROACH, WHICH IS UM , THE ROADWAY INVESTMENT, WHICH THEN FREES UP MONEY ON THE BACK END THAT WE CAN THEN PROVIDE HIGHER LEVELS OF ROADWAY MAINTENANCE COST. BY TAKING, UM OR BY INVESTING THE MONEY FROM TYPE A AND TYPE B INTO ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE THAN IT ALL DOESN'T HAVE TO RELY OR LAY ON OUR TYPICAL SIP PLAN. THEY CAN THEN TAKE SOME OF THAT MONEY AND FREE IT UP FOR ROADWAY MAINTENANCE. AND THAT'S HOW THIS THIS HYBRID APPROACH WORKS AND THAT WAS AGAIN INTENDED TO BE. WE WORK INTO IT. WE'RE GONNA TAPER INTO THAT. OVER TIME. WE WHEN YOU SEE THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE ALLOCATED TOWARD THE ROAD FUND FOR THIS INITIATIVE, IT'S HALF A FUTURE REVENUE GROWTH OVER TIME, AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET FULL SORT OF RAMPED UP TO FULL SPEED, SO TO SPEAK. EVEN 10 YEARS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION OF 5% ANNUAL GROWTH 10 YEARS DOESN'T EVEN GET TO THAT QUARTER CENT, SO YOU'RE NOT EVEN FULLY RAMPED UP IN 10 YEARS . SO IT'S IN THE GRAPHIC SHOWS THAT THE BEST EVERYBODY CONTINUES TO GROW. UM WHICH YOU KNOW BEFORE A JOINT INITIATIVE BY THE THREE ENTITIES TO INVEST IN ROAD, FOOT WAY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S PROBABLY A PRETTY GOOD WAY TO DO IT. UM AND THEN FINALLY, I HAVE MY READING GLASSES. IT'S HARDER SECRETARY AS I GET OLDER HERE, UM YEAH, THAT THAT WAS. MY FINAL POINT. IS THAT THE IT IS, WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS COME UP WITH ALL THE DISCUSSIONS. WE KNOW THIS IS HARD. WE KNOW THIS ISN'T EASY, BUT THIS IS THE FAIREST WAY TO MOVE FORWARD FROM FROM STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION STANDPOINT, HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD AND FIX THIS ISSUE? INVEST IN OUR ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES FREE UP SOME MONEY SO WE CAN THEN FOCUS ON ROADWAY MAINTENANCE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST BALANCED WAY WE CAN THINK OF TO DO IT. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SIR. THE ONLY THING I WOULD I WOULD ADD TO THAT OR M MAYBE A LITTLE SLIGHT. TWIST ON IS I MADE THE COMMENT THAT WE'RE NOT. IT'S NOT ABOUT TAKING ANY MONEY. IT'S JUST IDENTIFYING WITH THE PRIORITIES ARE SETTING THOSE. AND I WOULD SAY THAT THAT ACTUALLY WE DO THAT NOW, AND IT IS THE CITY HAS TO APPROVE ALL PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES AT FOUR A.M. FOUR B CORPORATIONS ANNUALLY REVIEW AND APPROVED BUDGETS. WE ACTUALLY DO THAT NOW WE'RE JUST NOW, SO THEY'RE NOT TO BE YOU KNOW? GET TOO DOWN IN THE WEEDS ON THE WORDING, BUT IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE JUST NOW, UH, CERTAIN HOW OR WHAT PRIORITIES THE BOARDS WOULD TAKE ITS. WE DO THAT. CURRENTLY IT'S JUST BEEN A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC AND DELIBERATE AND GIVING PREDICTABILITY ON GOING FORWARD. WHAT THOSE UM, WHAT THOSE PRIORITIES ARE? SO UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE RETAIN NOW NOT JUST IMPLEMENTING AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A MISSIVE. UM I'M IN THE MAYBE A UNIQUE SITUATION IN THAT I SPENT THE LAST THREE YEARS PRIOR TO JANUARY ON THE M E D. C BOARD AND I KNOW WE WEREN'T USED TO THIS. I KNOW THIS ISN'T WHAT WE DID. I AM ALSO NOW LIAISON TO THE CDC BOARD AND SITTING ON THEIR EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, AND I KNOW THAT THEY GET A LOT OF PRESSURE FROM A LOT OF PLACES FOR THEIR MONEY DOESN'T REALLY MATTER HOW MUCH THEY GET. THERE'S GOING TO BE PRESSURE TO GIVE IT OUT TO VARIOUS CHARITIES, DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND I CAN REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AH! IN 1998, A BOOK WAS WRITTEN THAT WAS KIND OF A SIMILAR BOOK BY DR
[00:25:03]
SPENCER JOHNSON CALLED WHO MOVED MY CHEESE. ANYBODY READ THAT PAUL DID OKAY. SOME OF Y'ALL DID. BASICALLY WHAT IT DID IT TALKS ABOUT CHANGE AND HOW DO WE RESPOND TO CHANGE? UM IN A COUPLE OF THE PLAYERS IN WHO MOVED MY CHEESE. THEY BASICALLY THERE'S FOUR MICE IN THE FOUR MICE GO TO THE MAZE, AND EVERY DAY THE CHEESE IS IN THE SAME PLACE AND THEY'RE ALL EATING CHEESE AND EVERYBODY'S HAPPY. ONE DAY THEY SHOW UP IN THE CHEESE IS GONE. IT'S MOVED TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE MAZE. TWO OF THE MICE GO AND FIND IT AND THEY'RE EATING THE OTHER MYSELF.SIT THERE, WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING THEIR CHEESE BACK. CHEESE AIN'T COMING BACK. RIGHT SO IT IT'S KIND OF ANALOGOUS TO HOW DO WE RESPOND TO CHANGE? IN 2019, THE STATE OF TEXAS MOVED THE CHEESE FOR THE CITIES. BY SAYING THAT YOUR CAP THIS IS MORE COMPLICATED AND I'M FIXING TO GO OVER BUT HAPPY TALK ABOUT ANYBODY INDIVIDUALLY. THE MOST. YOU CAN RAISE PROPERTY TAXES ON THE BASKET OF PROPERTY THAT YOU HAD BEFORE LAST YEAR WAS 3.5. WORSE INFLATION RIGHT NOW. NORTH OF THAT. LET'S CALL IT 8.3 IS WHAT IT WAS IN APRIL. OKAY IT'S GOING UP, UP UP AND UP NOW, MY FRIEND MR SCOFIELD IS HERE AND HE ADVOCATED FOR Y SENIORS OUGHT TO PERHAPS PAY LESS PROPERTY TAX, SO IT'S APPARENT THAT THERE IS PRESSURE LEGITIMATE REASONED THOUGHT BEHIND. WHY SOME PEOPLE OUGHT TO PAY A LITTLE BIT LESS WERE CAPPED AT 3.5% INCREASE IN A TIME WHEN INFLATION IS HIGH. I READ THIS AND WE IN OUR AGENDA IN OUR CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT WE HAVE A THING FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT THING. SEMI ANNUAL REPORT THAT YOU KNOW, I DROVE DOVE INTO EAGERLY EARLY. GUESS WHAT THE INFLATION IS FOR DALLAS FORT WORTH CONSTRUCTION MARCH 21 YEAR EVERY YEAR TO MARCH, 22.
18.6% OKAY, SO NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE ROADWAYS CITY GOT ITS CHEESE MOVED THERE. THERE'S PRESSURE ON THEM NOT TO INCREASE REVENUES BEYOND 3.5% ON EXISTING PROPERTY. INFLATIONS AT 8.3.
INFLATION ON CONSTRUCTION IS 18.6. I RESPECT. WITH THE CDC AND EX MISSION IS I FULLY AGREE THAT THAT BUT I WANT A LEGAL CONFIRMATION ON IT. THAT MHM DEVELOPMENT OF ARTERIAL STREETS THAT HOUSE BUSINESSES IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO MCKINNEY. I GET THAT THIS IS A CREATIVE, DIFFERENT SOLUTION. THAT WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO DO LAST YEAR. THE SALES TAXES INCREASED. ABOUT 16.6% YOU SAW, MR MR GRAHAM AND, UM WITH 5% ASSUMED INCREASED 16.6 IN THE EIGHTIES CDC MEETING THE OTHER COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I LEARNED THAT YEAR TO DATE WERE UP 18.6. TRUTH IS THAT PRUDENT BOARDS DON'T BUDGET FOR THAT. RIGHT IT'S NOT LIKE WE SAY, HEY, MARK HOLLOWAY. LET'S COME IN HERE AND ASSUME OR EVERYTHING AN 18.8% INCREASE EVERY YEAR. IT'S NOT PRUDENT, BUT IT'S HAPPENING. SO IT'S A IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO.
NOW I WAS SPEAKING WITH SOMEONE ON COUNCIL WHO WAS ON COUNCIL 20 YEARS AGO. CBC BUDGETS THIS YEAR ABOUT 20 MILLION EACH. YOU KNOW THEY WERE 20 YEARS AGO. ABOUT THREE TO 9.9% ANNUAL INCREASE YEAR FOR YEAR. MCKINNEY COUNCIL THE E. D C AND THE CDC, THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE CITY HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT MAGNIFICENT WITH RESPECT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND I FULLY EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE BUT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP ECONOMICALLY WE NEED TO HAVE THESE ROADS WILL MAKE ONE FINAL POINT ON IT. THERE'S ALWAYS STRUCK ME. I'M A BUSINESSMAN, AND IT STRUCK ME WHEN I WAS ON THE ABC BOARD. AH! IN MY BUSINESS. I INVEST MY TIME AND RESOURCES IN WHAT MAKES ME MONEY. RATIONAL RIGHT? WHAT MAKES EDDIE AND CDC MONEY IS SALES TAX REVENUE. AND THAT'S REALLY NOT WITH THOSE BOARDS DO RIGHT. THEY DON'T INVEST IN THINGS THAT GENERATE SALES, TAX REVENUE. INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL WE GAVE HIM A LOT OF MONEY. THAT'S NOT SALES TAX THAT'S HAD FOR LAUREN TAX PROPERTY TAX. THE ARTERIALS ARE GOING TO BE BOTH. DRIVE DOWN ONE OF OUR EXISTING ARTERIALS 3 83 D SOUND GOOD EXAMPLE. FORGIVE ME, BUT VIRGINIA ELDORADO LOOK AT ALL THE PLACES GENERATING SALES TAX. THIS WILL BE DIRECTLY A CREATIVE TO THE BOTTOM LINES OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS. JESUS MOVED. JUST HAD NOT THE FIRST TIME FOR US, AND IT WON'T BE THE LAST TIME.
UH MCKINNEY NEEDS TO BE A CITY THAT UNDERSTANDS THAT AND MOVES WHEN THE CHEESES MOVED AND NOT
[00:30:05]
SIT THERE AND HOPE THE CHEESES COMING BACK. SHE ISN'T COMING BACK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. ONE LAST POINT. SORRY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS THING SUNSET IN 10 YEARS. THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGE IN 10 YEARS. UH I DON'T THINK IT'S ASKING A FUTURE COUNCIL TOO MUCH INTO A HEAVY OF A LIFT FOR THEM TO SIMPLY VOTE TO CONTINUE THIS THE WAY THE RESOLUTIONS WORDED. I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A BOWL OF WARM AIR. THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW IS HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I'D LIKE TO BE VOTED ON AGAIN 10 YEARS. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I HAVE ONE. I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM MR HAUSER BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LEGAL OPINION. AND I JUST WANT TO GET A LEGAL OPINION FROM HIM ON. IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN ACTUALLY DO? I HAVE PERSONALLY DONE WRITTEN LEGAL OPINION. MY PARTNER HAS GIVEN LEGAL OPINION TO CDC, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPINION THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE BOARDS AS WELL. SO I CAN CERTAINLY WRITE ONE, BUT IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT HAS BEEN ALREADY PRODUCED. TO YOUR QUESTION. THE STATUTE DOES ALLOW FOR EXPENDITURE OF SALES TAX FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.INFRASTRUCTURE STREETS AND ROADS UPON FINDING BY THOSE SPORTS. I JUST WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU.
MR HAUSER WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, I HAVE A QUESTION. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT AT LEAST GOING BACK TO WHAT MR GRANT SAID THAT THERE HAS TO BE A DETERMINATION FIRST BY THE BOARD OF THAT PARTICULAR AGENCY. ORGANIZATION, AND THEY ARE AUTHORIZED BY STATUTE. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS KIND OF GOING IN A BACKWARDS FORM THAT IT'S NOT COMING FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BUT IT'S COMING FROM THE CITY COUNCIL. BREATHE AT CITY COUNCIL HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT THE DIRECTORS ON THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. BUT I DON'T SEE ANY AUTHORITY WHERE WE HAVE TO DIRECT HOW THEY OPERATE THEIR BUSINESS AND THEIR CORPORATION. IS THAT A QUESTION? OKAY I'LL RESPOND LIKE THIS. I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE NO, NO, PERFECTLY FINE. EXCELLENT STATEMENT. COMMEND YOU ON THAT ONE. BUT IT'S SOMETHING I'M WRESTLING WITH. AND IF YOU CAN HELP, UH, EVERYONE ELSE UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAINLY BELIEVE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ALL INVOLVED. IF YOU COULD TAKE A LOOK AT 501405.4 OR FIVE WHICH IS A SECTION IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE GOVERNING BODY, WHICH IS THIS BODY TO. MAKE CHANGES DIRECT ACTIVITIES DIRECT PROGRAMS OF THOSE ENTITIES. YOU HAVE THAT AUTHORITY AND AS MAYOR, FULLER SAID EARLIER, YOU HAVE THE BUDGETARY APPROVAL AUTHORITY.
WHICH ALLOWS YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY TO DICTATE HOW THOSE PARTICULAR FUNDS ARE SPENT. SO I THINK. IN THE IN THE SEQUENCE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. THE RESOLUTION WHEN IT COMES TO YOU NEXT. TIME. WILL BE A REQUEST TO THESE BOARDS, TOO. MAKE THOSE ACTIONS AND TAKE THOSE STEPS TO PUT THIS PROGRAM IN PLACE AND I THINK WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT THAT WAY, RATHER THAN. CHANGE OF BOARD MEMBER TELL THEM THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. IT'S A REQUEST TO IMPLEMENT A PROGRAM THAT YOUR PUTTING FORWARD THAT MAKES SENSE. RIGHT IF I COULD LET ME JUST READ SOME SPECIFIC LANGUAGE JUST TO THAT VERY POINT. 501401 AT ANY TIME IN CORPORATIONS AUTHORITY UNIT, WHICH IS A CITY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SUBTITLE ALTER THE CORPORATION STRUCTURE, ORGANIZATION PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES. UNDER 501054 WITH RESPECT TO PROJECT EXERCISE, EXERCISE ALL POWERS NECESSARY TO APPROPRIATE TO AFFECT A PURPOSE FOR WHICH CORPORATION IS ORGANIZED, SUBJECT TO THE CONTROL THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CORPORATIONS AUTHORIZING UNIT CORPORATION MAY ADOPT AND AMEND BIOLOGICAL ADMINISTRATION REGULATION, THE CORPORATIONS AFFAIRS UM. BY THE BY LAWS IN EACH AMENDMENT. MUST BE APPROVED BY THE RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNING BODY AGAIN. THE CITY OF THAT CORPORATION. AND CORPORATIONS AUTHORIZING AGAINST CITY WILL APPROVE ALL PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES OF CORPORATION ANNUALLY REVIEW ANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CORPORATION CORPORATION MAY NOT DELIVER BONDS, INCLUDING REF REFUNDING BONDS UNLESS THEY GO ANYBODY CITY. THE CORPORATIONS AUTHORIZED UNION ADOPTS A RESOLUTION DIRECTOR IS APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNING BODY CITY. THE AUTHORIZED MUNICIPALITY SERVES AT THE PLEASURE OF THE GOVERNING BODY AND MAY BE REMOVED BY THE GOVERNING BODY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT CAUSE. AND I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THOSE ARE JUST TECHNICALLY ALL THE WAYS THAT IT
[00:35:03]
IDENTIFIES. OUR ROLE I THINK, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN REVERSE, UM, THAT THE BOARDS WOULD UH, BE LOOKING AT OUR OUR BUDGET. THEY'RE NOT IN OUR BUDGET SESSIONS. THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT AT WORK SESSIONS AND BEING, UM, THE RECIPIENTS OF REPORTS AND IDENTIFYING OUR OUR STATUS OF OUR EXISTING ROADS.THE IMPACT THAT SB SIX HAD ON US , OUR INABILITY TO ANNEX AND WHAT THAT MEANT TO UM, BONDING CAPACITY AND ARTERIALS AND WHATNOT AND SOME OF OUR NORTHERN EAST WEST. AH! ROADS UM, THERE'S A LOT THAT WE AS AN ELECTED BODY, AS AS WE LEARN AS, UM, WHY WE SIT UP HERE. PRIORITIES ARE IDENTIFIED AND THEY EVOLVE. AND I THINK THIS WAS A COMBINATION OF A NUMBER OF THINGS. NUMBER ONE. THE MAINTENANCE ISSUE CERTAINLY WAS THERE BUT ALREADY WHAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS OUR LACKING MOBILITY. WE'VE GOT 3 80 THAT'S BEEN PUSHED BACK AND PROBABLY WOEFULLY 20 TO 30 YEARS BEHIND WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. AND WHERE, WITH NO END IN SIGHT ON WHAT THE BYPASS WILL DO. WHERE IT WILL GO WHEN IT WILL BE BUILT. WE HAVE EAST WEST ROADS LIKE WILMOTH, BLOOMINGDALE LOT, HOW THAT ARE IN DIRE NEED OF BEING BUILT THAT AGAIN TO THE POINT MADE BY PATRICK WILL WILL WILL FOSTER TREMENDOUS. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL SALES, TAX DOLLARS, REVENUES AND WHATNOT. BUT I THINK THE TRAVEL THIS IS WE IDENTIFIED AS A COUNCIL. WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM. WE HAVE A WITH THE ANALYSIS THAT WAS JUST DONE. I THINK IT WAS FIVE YEARS OR SO BEFORE IT WAS DONE. ONE BEFORE THE ROAD ANALYSIS. WE IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IN OUR ROAD MAINTENANCE. WE ALREADY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WE HAVE ON ARTERIALS AND NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION WHERE WE'RE VERY AWARE OF WHAT CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE AND INFLATION RATES. WE ARE VERY AWARE OF WHAT OUR CAP IS. SO IT REALLY IS. I THINK THE PLACE OF THE GOVERNING BODY APPEAR. TO ONE IDENTIFY. RECOGNIZE A PRIORITY LIKE THIS, AND THEN WE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING. OKAY, HERE'S THE ISSUE. HOW WE HOW WE HOW DO WE RESOLVE IT? WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS, AND WE WENT THROUGH THAT FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. SO IT REALLY WASN'T MM.
WASN'T I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS ANY CIRCUMVENTION. IT WAS US DOING OUR JOB IDENTIFYING A PROBLEM AND DISCUSSING WHAT THE SOLUTION TO THAT PROBLEM WERE, AND ONCE WE ARRIVED AT WHAT THOSE SOLUTIONS WERE APPROACHING THE BOARD, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT IT COULD HAVE GONE A DIFFERENT WAY. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WE WOULD SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR THE BOARDS TO COME AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FUND UM ROADS AND FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND WE NOTICED THAT WROTE SCORES. YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT AND START LOOKING AT SUSTAINABLE. UM, SOLUTIONS FOR I THINK I THINK IT HAPPENED THE WAY IT WOULD HAPPEN. THERE'S A COUNCIL IDENTIFY A NEED IN THE CITY AND A PARTY AND ESTABLISH THAT PRIORITY. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THAT IS I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS BACKWARDS. IT WAS PARTY THAT WAS IDENTIFIED HERE. AND AS I MENTIONED MR PHILLIPS, THE RESOLUTION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF A PROGRAM AND A REQUEST TO THE BOARDS. AND I'M HOPING THAT THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH DIALOGUE AND THAT'S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE IF THERE HAS BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES TO HAVE A SMOOTH TRANSITION. AND AS I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF OTHER DETAILS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK OUT FROM STAFF STANDPOINT AS TO PUTTING A LIST OF ROADS TOGETHER. HOW ARE THEY BROUGHT TO THE BOARDS, PUTTING VALUES TIMING BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE BOARDS WEIGH IN ON ROADS, TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY MAY HAVE A PROJECT THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT HERE OF AN OVEN. INTERESTED APPLICANTS WHO WANTS TO BUILD HERE. THAT MIGHT OBVIATE THE NEED TO DO A ROAD. THERE. SO I THINK THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE A GIVE AND TAKE OF INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THIS AS BUDGETS ARE DEVELOPED OVER THE COMING YEARS. SO IF I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY, HE SAID, WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE A RESOLUTION, WHICH IS A REQUEST OF EACH OF THE TWO BOARDS RATHER THAN A DIRECTIVE TO EACH OF THE TWO BOARDS. I BELIEVE IT'S IN THAT FORMAT, SIR. I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME. BUT IT IS IN THE IN THAT INTENT. THERE. THE PROGRAM IS ESTABLISHED THAT THE BOARDS ARE REQUESTED. TO ADOPT THE NECESSARY THINGS TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM FROM THEIR STANDPOINTS. I HAVE SOME LARGE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS, HAVING BEEN CREATED BY THE LEGISLATURE AND
[00:40:06]
BEING ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF MCKINNEY TO CREATE THESE PROGRAMS, AND I DO NOT KNOW THAT. THE PEOPLE OF MCKINNEY NOR THE LEGISLATURE INVESTED IN US THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE CHANGES TO THAT PROGRAM. THAT'S WHAT I AM WRESTLING WITH. IF I COULD MAYBE STATE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. THE STATUTE ALLOWS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT EXPENDITURES OF THE SPORTS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EXPENDITURES ROADWAYS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOP. AND. I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT. OKAY AND THAT I THINK THIS PROGRAM IS MERELY A COUNCIL. INITIATED. DESIRE AND. IT WILL BE IN A REQUEST, BUT IT'S HOPEFULLY A PARTNERSHIP THAT I BELIEVE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ALLOW. THE PROGRAM TO HAPPEN. AND THANKFULLY, THE PROGRAM NOT ONLY INVOLVES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ROADWAYS, BUT IT INVOLVES A TREAT MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING ROADWAYS LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD ROADWAYS. SO IT'S KIND OF GOT THIS TOO. FULL BENEFIT. UM SOLVING TOO. PROBLEMS. BOTH BOTH BEING NECESSARY TRANSPORTATION. I DON'T DISAGREE. IT'S A PROBLEM AND SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. IT'S JUST PROCEDURAL QUESTION IN MY MIND, PERHAPS HAD I NOT COME UP HERE ARMED WITH DEGREE IN WHAT I HAVE DEGREES IN WOULD NOT BE THINKING THE SAME AND JUST SO FOR THE PUBLIC THAT THAT THE KIMBERLY HORN STUDY WAD HAVE THE TECHNICAL. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF WHICH ROADWAYS ACTUALLY DO PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS, THEIR TRANSPORTATION EXPERTS. THEY DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STUDIES. THEY DO IMPACT FEES, SO WE FELT LIKE THEY KNEW OUR INVENTORY OF ROADWAYS AND HOW THEY SAYS, MR GRAHAM SAID. HOW THEY SERVE DIFFERENT. CORRIDORS AND DIFFERENT. RETAIL DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL AREAS AND GETTING PEOPLE FROM HERE TO THERE. I WOULD JUST ADD TO THE COMICS. I THINK I NOW KNOW, UM COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS IS SAYING, AND CERTAINLY CDC AND NBC BOARDS WILL VOTE ON THIS. THIS ISN'T WHAT WE'RE NOT PUTTING FORWARD IS A MANDATE. WE HAVE IDENTIFIE, WHAT THE NEED IS AND WHAT? THAT IT IS A HIGH PRIORITY OF THIS COUNCIL BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS COUNCIL WILL HAS EXPRESSED THAT IT WE BELIEVE IT'S A HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT I IMAGINE HOPEFULLY WILL HAPPEN IS THAT WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION, I KNOW THAT THERE'S IT MAY HAVE BEEN A ROUNDABOUT WAY TO GET HERE. UM BUT WE ARE WHERE WE ARE, AND ENOUGH INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED THAT BOTH WORDS WILL LOOK AT THIS. AND MY ANTICIPATION IS THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY UNIFIED EFFORT BY BOARDS AND COUNSEL TO SOLVE A PROBLEM IN A VERY I DON'T KNOW THAT ALL THAT INNOVATIVE AND THAT THEIR CITIES THAT ARE UNDER REFERENDUMS WITH QUARTER CENT SALES TAX, BUT IT IS FOR US TO HANDLE IT THIS WAY AND NOT GO THE OTHER ROUTE WHERE IT WOULD HAVE IMPEDED THOSE BOARDS VERY SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE REFERENDUM THAT WOULD BEGIN. ONCE IT WAS PASSED. THIS IS A WAY TO BUILD INTO IT TO WORK INTO IT, AND NIGHT. WHAT I'M HOPEFUL OF IS THAT WE ALL COME OUT. AFTER ALL THIS ANALYSIS IN A VERY UNIFIED POSITION THAT THIS IS A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. UH THAT WE COULD BE DOING FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THE CITY AND THAT IS ENSURING THAT WE HAVE ROADS FOR BUSINESSES TO BE LOCATED ON AND MAINTAINED WHERE ON THE ON OUR SIDE. TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TRAVELING ON AS THEY DETERIORATE. THEY GET IMPROVED, SO THAT'S MY HOPE THAT WE HAVE PUT FORTH A CASE THAT TO USE TERMS IN EUROPE INDUSTRY CASE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE JURY OF THOSE BOARDS AND THEY WILL MAKE A DECISION. AND MY GUESS IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO COME OUT ALL VERY UNIFIED IN THIS. ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS. I'M SURE THERE'S LOTS.THAT SECTION 501401. WELL I WAS READING ALL OF THEM FURTHER. IT'S 51 400 YOU TALKING ABOUT DISSOLUTION OF THE CORPORATION FIVE OR ONE POINT? IT WAS FOUR OF SEVEN, I THINK IS WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN READING UP HERE. SO I'LL GET IT TO YOU. THANK YOU BOTH. THANK YOU AND THANK MR MAYOR FOR YOUR COMMENTS AS WELL. APPRECIATE IT. THERE WAS A COMMENT ON SUNSETTING. YES, SIR. WE WANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION NOW BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
[00:45:01]
GERMANE TO A RESOLUTION ADVOCATED FOR IT. MY THOUGHT IS THAT THINGS CHANGE OVER 10 YEARS AND THIS IS A BIG CHANGE AND UM, YOU KNOW, UH, A FRIEND OF MINE WITH DEEP EXPERIENCE HERE WHERE WE ALL KNOW I WON'T NAME HIM THOUGH, BUT YOU KNOW, HE POINTED OUT TO ME THAT YOU KNOW, THE WITHOUT A SUNSET. THINGS CAN GO WRONG LATER. YOU KNOW, DART. THESE CITIES VOTED ON DARK YEARS AGO, AND THAT SALES TAX JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING AND GOING INTO SERVICE DOESN'T IMPROVE. I THINK IT'S GOOD STEWARDSHIP. IT'S NOT ASKING TOO HEAVY OF A LIFT. FOR A COUNCIL IN 10 YEARS TO NEED TO REAFFIRM THIS, UM, BECAUSE IT IS A BIG CHANGE. UH, THINGS CAN CHANGE. AND SO I'M A BIG FAN OF THE SUNSET. SO MARK CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BECAUSE ONE JUST OFF THE CUFF. WELL, LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION PERSON. CERTAINLY IF THERE IS NOT A SUNSET, IT DOESN'T STOP A COUNCIL FROM THREE YEARS COMING BACK AND SAYING WE'RE GOING TO TERMINATE THIS, SO THERE'S NO YES. SO UNLIKE A REFERENDUM ON THE SALES TAX ON THE DARK SITUATION WHERE THERE WAS A REFERENDUM THAT HAS TO GO TO THE ACTUALLY, THEY'RE COMMITTED AT THAT POINT, YOU CAN DO IT TWO WAYS YOU CAN HAVE A SUNSET REVIEW, OR YOU CAN HAVE IT ACTUAL TERMINATION UNLESS IT'S APPROPRIATE TO READ. SOME MY QUESTION WOULD BE, THOUGH, COULD IMPEDE US AND THE BOARDS. WELL, I'VE ASKED THE CITY MAYBE MORE SO. UM WHAT? I MY FIRST THOUGHT IT ON A SUNSET WOULD BE THAT THAT THAT MAY HAVE IMPLICATIONS AS WE LOOK AT BECAUSE WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME BONDING OVER TIME. AND SO WE'RE IN YOUR FIVE YEAR SIX YEAR SEVEN WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BOND WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ALTHOUGH AGAIN IT COULD BE REPEALED. SURE TOMORROW WE CAN VOTE ON THIS TODAY. THEORETICALLY IF THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DOING, AND THEN NEXT MEETING HE'LL REPEAL IT, BUT BUT WITH LANGUAGE OF A SUNSET WHERE IT'S ENDING, COULD THAT NOT HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR US AS WE LOOK AT BONDING AND JUST REVENUE SOURCES THAT THAT ARE SET TO END AT YOUR TENT? THAT WOULD BE MY HUGE CONCERN. THE SUNSET MR CLOUTIER, WERE YOU THINKING OF AN AUTOMATIC TERMINATION AND LESS RE VOTED AND REINITIATED OR A SUNSET REVIEW? AT 10 YEARS TALKING ABOUT THE TERMINATION I'M TALKING ABOUT. THEY HAVE TO DO THE LIFT. I RESPECT FULLY WITH THE MAYOR SAYING AND IF IT DID GET IN THE WAY OF BONDING, I CAN SEE THE CHALLENGE WITH THAT.UM I CERTAINLY CAN. AND MY CALCULUS DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR THAT. THESE FUNDS ARE NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR BOND. ANYWAY SO IT COULD STILL AFFECT MY THING IS, IT'S NOT A DIRECT THING, BUT IT'S A REVENUE SOURCE. THAT IS WITHOUT A SUNSET IS A SUSTAINED REVENUE SOURCE WITH THE SUNSET TERMINATION. IS LOOKED AT. NOT SO I'M TALKING POLITICALLY AS YOU LOOK AT ARE REVENUE SOURCES AND IMPACT ON OUR BUDGET THAT THAT'S WHERE I PRETTY SURE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE THAT THAT WOULD BE A SORRY AGAIN. I THINK THOSE ARE THE TWO WAYS TO DO IT. ONE IS AND ONE IS THAT SUNSET REVIEW WOULD PROBABLY WITH LESS THAN THAT, IF NOT REMOVE IT. MY CONCERN ANYWAY, THE SUNSET REVIEW BE FORCE IT TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL TO BE DISCUSSED. IT ALSO COULD JUST BE LANGUAGE IN THE RESOLUTION THAT SAID, THIS WILL BE REVIEWED EVERY 10 YEARS. YEAH THE WAY THE RESOLUTION WAS TO ME. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING THEY MIGHT NOT. THEY MIGHT SAY, YOU KNOW, AND, UH, IN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY AND THINGS GET BUSY, AND I KIND OF WANTED TO FORCE A REVIEW ON IT. I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BECAUSE IF YOU AND I ARE BOTH GOING FOR A LOAN ON THE HOUSE, AND YOU'VE GOT A JOB THAT HAS NO TERMINATION DATE MIND TERMINATES IN TWO YEARS AND THEY CAN ONLY MAKE ONE LOAN. I'M GETTING THAT LOAN. SO I RESPECT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM MR HOLLOWAY, PERHAPS IF I COULD OR SOMEBODY TO BE ABLE TO SAY YES.
THIS IS GERMAN WHEN WE'RE BONDING OUT. SORRY MARKET. I MEAN, IF YOU COME NOW, BUT IF YOU CAN THAT BE GREAT TO TALK ABOUT. YES, PART OF IT. SURE. BE HAPPY. TO DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD AFFECT YOUR OVERALL BOND CAPACITY. WHAT WHAT EFFECT IS AS WE GET TOWARDS THE END? IT WOULD DEFINITELY AFFECT THE WAY WE'VE LOOKED AT OUR OVERALL BONDING OVER TIME. IF WE GET TO THE 10 YEARS AND DEFINITELY. HAVE SCHEDULED THE DEBT SERVICE AND I INTEND TO CONTINUE TO SCHEDULE THE DEBT SERVICE SO THAT IF DIFFERENT FUNDS AREN'T AVAILABLE . WE CAN STOP AND RE PRIORITIZE.
AT THE END OF 10 YEARS IF THOSE FUNDS WERE GONE, AND THE COUNCIL CHOSE NOT AT THAT POINT NOT TO RENEW, THEN CLEARLY THE CRP WOULD NEED TO BE REVISED, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKES THEM VERY
[00:50:02]
STRUCK CHOICES THAN WHETHER WHAT TYPES OF THINGS WE'RE GOING TO BUILD, BECAUSE IF YOU COULDN'T BUILD NEW ROADS WITH THE TYPE A AND TYPE B YOU KNOW, WE BACK OFF OF THE NEW ROADS TO CONTINUE BONDING FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE. OR WOULD YOU YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE TO MAKE A DECISION OF WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. I WOULD ALSO ARGUE THAT YOU'RE ALMOST MAKING A SUNSET REVIEW EVERY YEAR WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DO THE BUDGET, YOU CAN CHOOSE THEM EVERY YEAR IF WE LOOK IN THE C I P AND DON'T LIKE WHAT THE ROADS ARE DOING. YOU KNOW THE WAY THE ROADS ARE BEING BUILT, OR IF THEY'RE NOT BEING BUILT, OR THEY ARE BEING BUILT IN THE WAY YOU WANT, CHOOSE NOT TO FUND THOSE IN THE BUDGET EACH YEAR, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT IT FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT, BUT EACH YEAR, YOU WOULD BE, UH, BE APPROPRIATING FUNDS SO YOU WOULD AT LEAST GET TO SEE THAT EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. IT WOULD START THIS YEAR. IN FACT, SO THANK YOU. SURE. IF I MAY ADD. I THINK THERE'S LANGUAGE THAT WE CAN PUT IN THE RESOLUTION THAT WOULD SATISFY COUNCIL, INCLUDING HIS DESIRES. UM WE CAN WORK ON AND I THINK WE UNDERSTAND THE INTENT AS WE DRAFT UP THE RESOLUTION CIRCULATED. CERTAINLY LANGUAGE AND WORDS LIKE SHALL NOT MAY OR NOT, WILL I MEAN SHALL BE REVIEWED. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SHALL BE REVIEWED AND REAFFIRMED. UM YOU KNOW IT. AND THE 10 YEAR POINT. THERE'S THINGS WE CAN DO WITH THAT LANGUAGE. I THINK THAT TO SATISFY THAT CONCERN THAT WOULD SATISFY ME IN THE DON'T KNOW HOW OTHERS FEEL AND FORGIVE ME. I DON'T MEAN TO MONOPOLIZE THE FLOOR ON THIS, BUT THAT THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TO HELPING ME AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE CONCERN SHARED WITH OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS OR NOT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 2 TO 049 TO CONSIDER PROPERTY TAX OPTIONS FOR[Consider/Discuss Property Tax Options for Residents Over Age 65 and the Disabled]
RESIDENTS OVER AGE 65 DISABLED. GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UM AT COUNCIL'S REQUEST EVERY EVERY FEW YEARS OR AT COUNCIL'S REQUEST. WE BRING THIS BEFORE THE BUDGET PROCESS TO TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT OVER 65 SENIOR TAX EXEMPTION AND DISABLED TAXES IN THE SAME TIME, SO WE HAVEN'T HAD A COUNCIL REQUEST TO TALK ABOUT IT SINCE THE FISCAL YEAR, 19 BUDGET WAS ADOPTED. SO IT WAS ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. SO I'VE GOT SOME DATA. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY AREN'T AND THEN I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY. UM BUT WE HAVE ABOUT THREE TYPES OF EXEMPTIONS THAT WE'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT. THEY GO ALONG WITH TAXES. THE FIRST IS THE OVER 65 DISABLED EXEMPTION. IT'S TARGETED. IT'S TARGETED TO THOSE TWO. UM UM, CLASSES AND THEN IT'S CHANGEABLE , AND WE CAN EVALUATE THOSE YEARLY. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN WE RIGHT NOW. THE CURRENT EXEMPTION FOR OVER 65 IS $65,000 FOR THE CITY. WHICH MEANS THAT. WHEN THE APPRAISAL OFFICE GETS GETS DONE WITH THEIR PRIZE ALS WE TAKE $65,000 FROM THAT APPRAISAL AND THEN SENIORS AND DISABLED ARE TAXED AT THAT RATE. UM THEN THERE'S THE OVER 65 TAX FREEZE.THIS MEANS THAT FROM THE YEAR YOU STARTED THAT THAT RATE IS FROM OUR THAT VALUATION IS FROZEN FOR THE TIME. ONCE AGAIN IT'S TARGETED, BUT IT'S PERMANENT. SO IT'S NOT CHANGEABLE, AND WE WOULDN'T BE EVALUATING IT. YEARLY HATE TO INTERRUPT. YOU WANT TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS? I'M STUCK ON THIS. SOMEONE'S APPRAISAL COMES BACK AT A HALF MILLION BECAUSE IT'S HOMESTEADED. THE ASSESSED VALUE IS ONLY 4 10, WHICH NUMBERS THIS 65 COME OFF OF 65 WILL COME OFF THE 14TH. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. AND THEN THERE'S A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, WHICH IS OFFERED BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SOME CITIES DO IT NOT VERY MANY. BUT THAT WOULD AFFECT ALL HOMEOWNERS THEN AND IT WOULD GO TO REDUCE OVERALL TAXABLE VALUE. THIS IS THIS GOES TO PLACE MORE BURDEN, USUALLY GENERALLY ON THE PROPERTY TEXT OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE IN THE CITIES. UM ALSO BOTH OF THOSE OTHER TO DO MOVE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW EVERY TIME WE SHIFT TAX BURDEN, WHICH IS WHAT YOU DO. YOU'RE SHIFTING FROM FROM ONE TO ANOTHER, AND THAT'S WHAT ESSENTIALLY, THESE ARE. UM THE OVER 65 TAXES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I SAID IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF THE ELIGIBLE HAVE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE CURRENT EXEMPTION 65,000 AND OUR CURRENT TAX RATE, THOUGH THIS REDUCES THE TAXES AND ITS CURRENT RATE TO ABOUT $323. THE EXEMPTION WAS LAST INCREASED IN 2018 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 19 BUDGET AND FOR EVERY $5000 INCREASING EXEMPTION , ELIGIBLE HOMEOWNERS PAID $25 LESS IN TAXES AT OUR CURRENT TAX RATE, WHICH IS JUST UNDER 50. CENTS. NOW WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SHIFTING TAX
[00:55:07]
BURDEN, SO I KIND OF TOOK A LOOK AT SOME OF THE NUMBERS BECAUSE THE LEVEE WOULD REMAIN THE SAME.TAXABLE VALUE GOES DOWN WHEN YOU REMOVE WHEN YOU REMOVE MONEY FROM THE OVERALL OVERALL VALUES , WE WOULD STILL DO IT THE SAME TAX LEVY, BUT FOR EVERY $5000 DID AN INCREASING EXEMPTION. NON ELIGIBLE HOMEOWNERS AND I TOOK BUSINESSES OUT OF THIS. I JUST DID IT FOR, UM YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO FIGURE IT FOR AH, THE HOMEOWNERS WOULD BE ABOUT $2.80 MORE FOR EVERY 5000. WHICH SETS AT 65,000, WHICH WE CURRENTLY ARE AT NON ELIGIBLE HOMEOWNERS WOULD PAY $36 MORE IN OUR CURRENT LEVY AND OUR CURRENT TAX RATE WITH THIS OVER 65 EXEMPTIONS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ALL THAT MAKES SENSE. BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE MATH THAT THAT I HAD COME UP WITH. THIS SHOWS THE EFFECT OF THE OVER 65 EXEMPTION . YOU SEE, IT'S 65,000 AS YOU RAISE IT. THE EXEMPTED REVENUE EACH YEAR FOR $5000 AT THIS YEAR FOR FISCAL YEAR, 23 WOULD BE ABOUT 231,000. UM SO I'VE GOT ALSO SHOWING THE ESTIMATED TAXABLE VALUE HERE AT 4 11 7 19 FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 FISCAL YEAR 22 3 74 TO 90. THAT'S THE MARKET VALUE. MARKET VALUE OF HOMES HERE IS ABOUT 492,000, BUT I CAN ONLY ADJUST THE 3 74 BY THE 10% WHICH IS CAPPED BY STATE LAW. SO YOU'LL BE PLAYING CATCH UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS, WHICH AT A FREEZE WOULD YOU CAN SEE EXEMPTING REVENUE OVER TIME WILL BE ABOUT $9 MILLION EXEMPTED BY FISCAL YEAR 28, WHICH CURRENTLY IS ABOUT THREE CENTS ON THE TAX RATE, SO TAX FREEZE DEFINITELY MORE SEVERE TOWARDS THE TAX RATE TOWARDS MOVING, UM, MOVING THE BURDEN AROUND. UH YOU KNOW VERY MUCH MORE MILD AS THE IS DOING THE OVERALL JUST THE EXEMPTION FOR OVER 65. JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS YEAR. LIKE I SAID PRELIMINARY INCREASE OF 10% ON EXISTING PROPERTY. WE KNOW THE MARKET VALUES ARE ACTUALLY UP MORE LIKE 30% NEW CONSTRUCTION.
WE'RE ADDING 3.3 AND PRESENTING NEW PROPERTY. IT'S ABOUT $870 MILLION NEW TO THE TAX ROLL THIS YEAR. ALL I HAVE IS AN AGGREGATE ESTIMATE. AT THIS POINT. THE FULL BREAKDOWN COMES FROM THE ON JULY THE 25TH AND I MENTIONED THE OVERALL HOMESTEAD MARKET VALUE BEING ABOUT $492,000. IF YOU DO CHANGE DECIDED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO OUR CURRENT EXEMPTION POLICY MUST BE DONE BY JULY 1ST OF THIS YEAR, SO WE NEED TO DO IT AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING BEFORE BUDGET OR BEFORE SETTING TAX RATE. AND. ALSO WENT AND LOOKED AT AS PROVIDED IN 2018 WHEN LOOKED AT THE CURRENT EXEMPTIONS OF COLLIN COUNTY CITIES. AND I LOOKED AT THEIR TAX RATES. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT. REALLY UH AND I DIDN'T INCLUDE PROSPER HERE, AND I KNOW SOMEONE MENTIONED THAT THEY DO HAVE A TAX FREEZE. BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT A LOT OF THE CITY'S DON'T, UM, ARE ARE OVER. 65 IS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE. I DID GO AND REVIEW AND I TOOK THE SAME ONE FROM FOUR YEARS AGO.
FOUR CITIES. HAD INCREASED THEIR 60/65 DISABLED. DURING THAT TIME US BEING ONE OF THEM. WE WENT FROM 60 TO 65,000 GOING INTO 2019. THE CITY OF DALLAS DID THAT. CITY OF GARLAND WENT UP $5000. IN RICHARDSON WENT UP $20,000, BUT THEIR OVERALL TAX RATE WENT UP ONE CENT DURING THAT TIME. ALSO GARLAND WAS ALSO A LITTLE BIT ODD. THEY HAD TAKEN THEIR OVER 65 EXEMPTION UP THAT $5000 I MENTIONED SINCE 2018. BUT THEIR TAX RATE IS UP ABOUT FIVE CENTS. SO I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE IS A CORRELATION, BUT OUR TAX RATE HAS GONE DOWN IN THAT TIME. A LOT OF THESE CITIES HAVE BEEN RETICENT TO DO ANYTHING WITH TAX FREEZES OVER THE OVER 65 DISABLED BECAUSE THE SENATE BILL TWO AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT HERE SINCE THE MARKETS. EVERYONE HAS OVER 65. BUT MR SCOFIELD MADE A POINT THAT YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE. AND COULD WE DO SOMETHING FOR OVER 75, OR ARE WE LOCKED INTO THE 65 ? NOT SURE WITH THE WAY THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT GATHERS INFORMATION HOW THEY WOULD HOW THEY WOULD DO IN OVER 75 BECAUSE THEY DON'T RIGHT. OK, SO THEY KNOW THE 65 OF THE POINT IS, THEY DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER AGES. NOT SURE AT THIS POINT WE HAVE TO CHECK LOVE TO. I'D LOVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHETHER IT'S FOR THIS YEAR NEXT BUT ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. AND I CAN
[01:00:03]
CHECK TODAY WHEN WE GET DONE AND GET YOU GUYS AN ANSWER OF IF THERE IF IT'S 65, OR IF IT IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FLOAT THAT AND MARK, HAVE YOU DONE A CALCULATION? ON THE 65,000. IT'S THERE'S A SAVINGS OF 320 ISH $8.05 DOLLARS, WHATEVER IT IS PER YEAR ON THE AVERAGE HOME.YES. HAVE YOU DONE A CALCULATION? OBVIOUSLY TAKING OUT WE TAKE OUT THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, AND WE LOOK AT AVERAGE INFLATION OR AVERAGE APPRECIATION. HOME VALUES ON KHAN CAD. THERE'S A THERE'S A POINT AT WHICH. FOR A WHILE THAT THE EXEMPTION IS GOING TO PROVIDE A BIGGER SAVINGS THAN A FREEZE. HAVE YOU DONE THE MATH TO SEE WHEN THAT NEXUS IS WHERE THEY CROSS AT WHERE THEY HAVE WITH THE FREEZE BEING IN PERPETUITY, THOUGH, UM, UNLESS YOU WHAT'S IN PERPETUITY UNTIL THE HOUSE SELLS, AND THEN IT WOULD GO BACK WITH THE MARKET ASSUMING BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED TO DO THAT CALCULATION. I WOULD, UH I CAN ATTEMPT TO DO THAT CALCULATION FOR YOU GUYS, BUT, UH UM I'M JUST SAYING THAT I DON'T I JUST GOING TO TRY TO DO SOME QUICK MATH ON WHAT THAT PERCENTAGE IS AND WHAT THE INCREASES AND WHAT AVERAGE APPRAISED VALUE INCREASES ARE AND I THINK MY HEAD IT'S COMING SOMEWHERE AROUND SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS. UM IS ROUGHLY WHERE THAT WERE. YOU ACTUALLY START TO GET A BIGGER SAVINGS. AND OF COURSE , THAT CHANGES IF YOU INCREASE THE EXEMPTION. AND YOU INURE TO $70,000 EXEMPTION. NOW YOU SEE, WE TAX REVENUE EXEMPTED ABOUT $3.1 MILLION IN YEAR TWO IN FISCAL YEAR 24 YOU WOULD HAVE ABOUT 3.7, BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW IT MULTIPLIES OVER TIME. UM, THS GROWING OVERALL WAS UP 25% IN FOUR YEARS. AND MOVING THAT MATH . IT WOULD. YOU WOULD HAVE TO ALMOST DOUBLE THE 90 THERE. 2 180 WOULD PUT IT IN EIGHT MILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 28. YOU'RE AT NINE MILLION ON THE OVER 65 3. SO STARTING TO GET CLOSER TO $200,000. I WOULD ASSUME BUT THE. YEAH, THAT'S IT.
SO I HAVEN'T DONE IT, BUT THAT'S QUICK MATH. THAT'S WHY WOULD I CAN RUN IT ON OUT A FEW YEARS, BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S PROBABLY JUST CURIOUS. I THOUGHT, MR HOLLOWAY. SITTING HERE RUNNING NUMBERS AND I'M NOT A MATH GUY BY ANY MEANS, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME IF I PUT ANOTHER $500 BACK IN THE POCKET OF MY SENIOR CITIZENS AND THEN TAXED HIM AT 8.5. WHEN THEY SPEND THAT MONEY HERE IN MCKINNEY. I'M GOING TO WIND UP WITH MORE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. I DON'T THINK THAT WE DON'T GET THE 8.5, THOUGH. STADIUM GETS MOST OF THAT. 2.5% TO GROCERIES AND STUFF. THERE ISN'T ANY SALES TAX. NOT TO BE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S 22% THAT COMES TO THE CITY ULTIMATELY. AND AGAIN, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS TO ARGUE AGAINST OR FOR AT THE MOMENT, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO REALLY REALIZE IN KEY IN ON WHAT YOU SAID EARLY ON THAT IT'S THAT THAT'S A SHIFT OF TAX BURDEN. SO YOU KNOW, WE ALSO AND LISTEN I'M ALL ABOUT, UH, LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP SENIORS AND FIXED INCOME. ALL THAT. I ALSO KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN EQUAL OR ANOTHER ISSUE AS FAMILIES ARE TRYING TO MOVE IN AND LIVE IN MCKINNEY WITH THE COST OF LIVING, SO I KNOW THERE'S THAT THAT FIXED INCOME BURDEN FOR SHORE AND HAVING PREDICTABILITY IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT. ALSO KNOW THAT AS WE SHIFT THAT, THEN ONTO EVERYONE ELSE AND YOUNG FAMILIES WHO ARE TRYING TO AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. WE GOTTA GOTTA THINK ABOUT THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE WHATEVER WE DO IS A SHIFT AND IT'S A SHIFT THAT GETS CAPPED BECAUSE WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT UP AFTER OR BEYOND A CERTAIN POINT WITH THAT, TOO. YOU KNOW, THE THOUGHT HAS BEEN, ESPECIALLY AMONG CITIES. 10% APPRAISAL CAP THAT WAS ADOPTED IN THE 3.5% OF SENATE BILL TWO CAP. HOPEFULLY THAT'S HOLDING. TAXES DOWN FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THE CITY SIDE. THERE'S OTHER TAXING DISTRICTS, BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPERFECT CLEARLY, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE WAYS WE HAVE TRIED ALSO TO IMPLEMENT THINGS ON THE WATER RIGHT SIDE TO HELP OVER 65, BUT THERE'S ALL SORTS OF THINGS WE'VE TRIED TO DO, BUT YOU CAN. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE 2. CAPS IS TRYING TO HELP.
KEEP THAT DOWN. NECESSARILY. I CAN'T SPEAK TO EVERYBODY'S INDIVIDUAL, UM SITUATION. BUT.
[01:05:08]
YOU KNOW THE NUMBERS ARE THERE AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY MORE QUESTION. BE DONE ANY STUDIES LOOKING AT SALES TAX VERSUS PROPERTY TAXES. WHAT DO YOU. IN WHAT WAY LIKE THERE WOULD CANADA AS I SUGGESTED. YES. NO LOOK AT WHAT THIS HALF PERCENT 1.5% WHAT ACTUALLY GOES TO THE CITY. IN A PENNY USED TO ME, D. C AND CDC CORRECT. CORRECT SO TAKE THE EXEMPTED REVENUE. AND THEN I GUESS WE WOULD MULTIPLY THAT TIMES. 2 2.5% AND THAT WOULD GIVE YOU IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S ACTUALLY 2. 2% PERCENT, SO. BUT I CAN PROVIDE THOSE NUMBERS AS WELL. THE TWO OR 2.5 TO 6 IN THE QUARTER GOES TO THE STATE. ONE PENNY GOES TO THE OUR GENERAL FUND, AND ONE PENNY GETS SPLIT BETWEEN THANK YOU, CBC. I THOUGHT IT WAS 6% LINKED TO STAY. SO I GET THEIR QUARTERS.THEY SHOULD ONLY BE THEN. YOU'RE LISTENING IN AUSTIN EARS. IT'S GENERALLY BE THAT I'M ENCOURAGED WITH THE NEARLY 9000 HOMES THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE OCCUPIED BY PEOPLE OVER 65 THAT MADE ME FEEL YOUNGER. THANK YOU. MM HMM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WOULD NEED SOME DIRECTION WHETHER YOU NEED TO BRING THIS BACK ON THE 21ST FOR ANY ACTION, MR MAYOR. I'LL MAKE A COUPLE REMARKS IF I COULD, MR FOLLICLY. THESE AREN'T REALLY QUESTIONS RELATE TO YOU, BUT YOU KNOW, 65 IS PROBABLY BORN FROM BACK IN THE DAY, SOCIAL SECURITY HAD A FULL RETIREMENT AGE OF 65 . WOULDN'T YOU COULD COLLECT YOUR FULL BENEFIT. IF YOU RETIRED EARLY. YOU GOT PENALIZED. IF YOU RETIRED LATER, IT WENT UP. FULL RETIREMENT AGE FOR PEOPLE MY AGE. I'M 58 IS 67 . THAT'S FOR MOST OF US ARE YOU KNOW WHO ARE STILL WORKING IN THIS ROOM? THERE'S TALK. THE TALK IS CORRECT, AND IT OUGHT TO BE DONE INDEXING THAT UP TO 70 AT SOME POINT FOR PEOPLE. THERE'S ALSO WHEN CAN YOU TAKE YOUR IRAS? OR WHEN MUST YOU TAKE YOUR I RAISE THAT USED TO BE 70.5 THAT KINDA INCREASED TO 72.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FICTION TO BE INCREASED TO 75. PEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER. PEOPLE ARE WORKING LONGER. PEOPLE SHOULD WORK LONGER, MR SCOFIELD IN HIS REMARKS AND STARTED TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MEALS ON WHEELS AND THE FOLKS THERE WHO WHO HAVE A NEED WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE AN INFLATION ADJUSTED RETIREMENT INCOME, IT DOESN'T REALLY AFFECT YOU THAT BADLY WHEN YOU'RE 66 67 IT REALLY CAN WHEN YOU'RE SET 87 88 THAT NEED CAN REALLY BE THERE . I RESPECT THAT. THE MAY NOT CAPTURE WHO WAS 75 OR 70. I HOPE THEY DO. I WISH THEY WOULD, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO BE DOING THIS, BUT THE OTHER THING THAT STRIKES ME IS THAT I HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S 65. HE IS HE MOVED AWAY FROM MCKINNEY COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, COMING BACK AND BUILDING A HOUSE HERE IN MCKINNEY. THIS IS A $2 MILLION HOUSE. HE'S BUILDING HE DIDN'T HURTING. THE PROBLEM WITH FREEZING HIM IS HE DOESN'T NEED IT. SO I WOULD MAINTAIN THAT I KNOW I'M NOT CAPTURING EVERY SITUATION HERE, BUT MAINTAINED THAT THE WAY THE CITY IS DOING IT WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT COMING OFF. THAT'S MUCH LESS MEANINGFUL TO HIM THAN IT IS SOMEONE WHO'S AT THE 490,000. VALUE THAT MR HOLLOWAY SAID. THE AVERAGE VALUE SO I WOULD HAVE AN APPETITE. AH TO. INCREASE THIS AND INCREASE THE AGE INCREASED THE DOLLAR AMOUNT AND THE AGE IF I IF WE CAN'T INCREASE THE AGE BECAUSE THE CD DOESN'T CAPTURE THAT AGE THAT I HAD, I WOULD HAVE AN APPETITE TO LEAST INCREASE THE 65 TO SOME NUMBER WHERE THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE AT THE MEAN OR BELOW MEAN AVERAGE. ASSESSED VALUE ARE NOT PAYING ANY MORE THAN THEY WERE LAST YEAR, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER WOULD BE WOULD BE 75 WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND I DON'T KNOW. BUT THAT'S MY APPETITE, AND I WOULD SAY JUST DOING QUICK MATH TO COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS POINTED IF ALL NINE MILLION IN THE SCENARIO DOWN BELOW WENT INTO WAS SPENT HERE IN THE CITY WOULD BE $180,000 IN REVENUE OF TAX REVENUE TO THE CITY. WHAT'S THE CURRENT LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR A MALE AND FEMALE US? DO YOU KNOW? THE LIFE EXPECTANCY.
SORRY, MARK ROMNEY ANSWERED THIS ONE. BUT YOU FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME. IF I'M WRONG, YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY GOES UP, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE AGE OF THE PERSON IS RIGHT. IF YOU'RE ZERO YEARS OLD IT MAYBE 70. BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF KIDS WHO DIE YOUNG IN A CERTAIN
[01:10:04]
NUMBER WHO DIED IN THEIR TWENTIES. THE OLDER WE LIVE THAT NUMBER SHOOTS OUT LONGER. SO IT'S A IT'S A MOVING TARGET ON 58. I DIDN'T DIE WHEN I WAS A KID. SO YOU KNOW, MY LIFE EXPECTANCY IS PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN THE LATE SEVENTIES, BUT YOU KNOW IT WILL EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY WILL BE SOMEWHERE THE LATE EIGHTIES. BUT I WILL SAY THIS IS A TALENTED TABLES DO SHOW THAT IT'S LIKE FALLING OFF A CLIFF AT 91. MANY PEOPLE DON'T LET THAT 91 SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A MAGICAL AGE. I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW LONG THESE HOUSES. RESIDENCES WOULD STAY OUT OF THE MARKET AND UNDER AN EXEMPTION. THAT'S A FAIR POINT. YOU KNOW, MY MOTHER WAS 87. WHEN SHE DIED. WE WERE FIXED AND HAVE TO MOVE HER INTO A HOME INTO A PLACE WHEN THEY MOVE INTO A PLACE. YOU CAN'T HOMESTEAD THAT ASSISTED LIVING OR INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY, SO THEY'RE BACK TO PAYING FULL FREIGHT. AND THEN THAT HOUSE THEN GETS PUT BACK ON THE MARKET WITHOUT KNOWING ANYMORE. FORGIVE ME, MARK IF YOU HAVE TIME. STEALING YOUR THUNDER. BUT I WOULD THINK SOMEWHERE IN THE LATE EIGHTIES YOU START SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING, UNCLE, I GOT TO SELL THIS HOUSE. WHAT I WOULD THINK AS WELL MAINLY WOULD ARGUE WITH YOU, SHE SAID 110 FOR HER JUST LEFT. WHY WE ALWAYS HAVE THE OUTLIER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS OBVIOUSLY IN DEPTH AS WE MOVE INTO BUDGET SEASON, WE STARTED LOOKING AT WHAT WHAT ARE MUSIC? LIKE WHAT? OUR EXPENSES LOOK LIKE? WHAT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE MITIGATING ALL OF THESE TREMENDOUS INCREASES THAT WERE EXPERIENCING WITH INFLATION AND WHATNOT. BUT IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ACTION ITEM AT THIS POINT. IT'S JUST A DISCUSSION ON IT WOULD BE AN ACTION ITEM AT THE NEXT MEETING. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS OR OTHERWISE, IT WOULD BE THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR BEFORE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE ON THIS. SO I WAS THINKING IN TERMS OF WE WOULD WE WOULD NOT WOULD IT BE PRUDENT, THOUGH, TO ENTERTAIN THIS PRIOR TO BUDGET YOU CAN. YOU CAN ENTERTAIN IT FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR WITH THE BUDGET FOR THIS. FISCAL YEAR. WE HAD A TIME CHOOSE. NO, I UNDERSTAND. I WASN'T THINKING IN TERMS OF THAT SO ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE? I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE DISCUSSION BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT MEETING. THANK YOU. THANKS, MARK. 22 OH 493 UPDATE[Update on 2022 City Boards & Commissions Member Appointments]

[Consider/Discuss Report on FY2023 Strategic Goals]
TIME. THANK YOU. BELINDA. THANK YOU SO MUCH. TO MOVE NOW TO 22 OH 495 CONSIDERED DISCUSSED REPORT ON FISCAL YEAR 2023 STRATEGIC ALS. AFTERNOON MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS STEPHEN SMITH AND THE PERFORMANCE MANAGER FOR THE CITY. TODAY I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE 23 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND KIND OF REVIEW THE PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH IN, UM, CREATING THOSE OBJECTIVES. SO AS YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETS FOR THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN ACCESSION. THIS YEAR, THERE WAS AN ADDED STEP AND THE COUNCIL RECONVENED FOR A PRIORITIZATION SESSION. UM. I'LL SAY FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE THAT THIS REALLY DID ADD SOME VALUE FOR US AND OUR PROCESS AND CREATING THE OBJECTIVES FOR THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR. SO ONCE THOSE MEETINGS ARE FINISHED, WE CODIFY THOSE STRATEGIES LAID OUT BY CITY COUNCIL. AND THEN WE TAKE THOSE TO CITY STAFF ACROSS THE ACROSS THE CITY. SO AFTER THOSE GO TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, THEY COME TO MY OFFICE AND I WORKED WITH DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP ACROSS THE CITY TO DEVELOP THESE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES TO ALIGN WITH YOUR STRATEGIC VISION AFTER THOSE ARE[01:20:06]
DEVELOPED THEIR SUBMITTED BACK TO ME. UM WHERE MY OFFICE DOES SEVERAL ROUNDS OF REVIEW AND REVISION. THEY'RE THEN TAKEN TO ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS FOR REVIEW AND FEEDBACK. AND THEN FINALLY TO CITY MANAGER FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. AND THEN THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY. BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION. THE FINAL PRODUCT IS A LARGE LIST OF STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES THAT ALIGNED WITH YOUR STRATEGIC VISION. SO WE HAVE. SEVERAL CRITERIA THAT WE USE WHEN WE'RE EVALUATING THESE OBJECTIVES. ONE IS THE SMART TEST. I'M SURE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH. WE NEED ALL THE OBJECTIVES TO BE SPECIFIC. WE NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE MEASURABLE. ATTAINABLE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. WE NEED THEM TO BE RELEVANT TO YOUR STRATEGY. AND WE NEED THEM TO BE TIME BOUND, SO WE NEED DEADLINES. SOME OTHER CRITERIA WE LOOK AT IS UM WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL THE CITIZEN TEST. WE NEED THEM TO BE CLEARLY STATED, CONCISE. UM WE NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM INDUSTRY JARGON, ACRONYMS, THINGS LIKE THAT. WE NEED TO BE AH, VERY CLEAR ON HOW THEY RELATE TO YOUR STRATEGY. UM AS WELL AS FOLLOW CONSISTENT PATTERN THROUGHOUT. FINALLY YOU MIGHT SAY THIS IS THE STRATEGIC TEST. WE ASK IF THESE OBJECTIVES ARE TRULY FORWARD THINKING, ARE THEY LOOKING TO THE FUTURE? IS IT A STRETCH? GOAL IS IT OUTSIDE OF YOUR DAILY BUSINESS? WE DON'T WANT THINGS THAT ARE JUST CHECKBOX ITEMS THAT YOU NO FAULT WITHIN. DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. AND FINALLY, WILL IT MOVE THE ORGANIZATION AND CITY FORWARD? SO DEPARTMENT HEADS, CITIZEN CITY MANAGERS AND MR GRIMES. BELIEVE THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES FOR FY 23 WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. UM, AND WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS. LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. IF I MAY, MR MAYOR RELATE TO THIS. I RECALL BEING AT THE A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS AND ANNOUNCING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US CHANGED THAT BOARD OVER THERE TO INCLUDE BEING AND BUILDING BETTER NEIGHBORS. I KNOW THAT I MISSED A PRESENTATION ON CHANGING OF OUR CITY LOGO ON THAT WALL AND I DID GO BACK AND WATCH THAT. UM LECTURE AND HIGH SCHOOL TODAY'S YEAR AND THAT HAPPENED TO COINCIDE WITH THAT.UH, I WAS NOT ASKING TO CHANGE THE CITY'S LOGO. AT THAT TIME. I WAS ASKING TO ADD THAT OUR GOALS AND STRATEGIES AND I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. AS I DID NOT WANT THE MESSAGE TO GET LOST.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 220496 UPDATE ON NEW CODE MCKINNEY INITIATIVE DEVELOPMENT
[Update on the New Code McKinney Initiative (Development Regulations Update)]
REGULATIONS. UPDATE. INFERNO. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I'LL BE TAG TEAMING THIS PRESENTATION WITH AARON BLOXHAM, OUR PRINCIPAL PLANNER, AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF MEDIA DISCUSSIONS THUS FAR. I PROMISE YOU THIS ONE SHOULDN'T BE TOO HEAVY LIFT, HEAVY HITTING. AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE TO THE COUNCIL AS WE LAUNCH INTO THE NEXT SORT OF PHASE OR STEP IN THIS INITIATIVE, SO FOR TODAY, WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE KEY CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WITH THE CODE DRAFTING. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR PUBLIC OUTREACH STRATEGY AND THE ADOPTION STRATEGY THAT WE'VE PREVIOUSLY TALKED TO YOU ALL ABOUT BACK AT THE CHRISTMAS NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME AGAIN. WE ARE ABOUT TO LAUNCH INTO OUR WHAT WE CALL CONSOLIDATED CODE, PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PHASE. AND SO WITH THAT LAUNCH, WE WANTED TO GIVE A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS TO YOU ALL AS WE STARTED ON THAT LAST BEDFORD. I ALWAYS LIKE TO START WITH THIS PROJECT TIMELINE. JUST SORT OF IS A LOOK BACK ON THIS WORK.THIS PROJECT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN UNDERWAY FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS NOW, SO IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER, BUT AT THE SAME TIME SEEMS LIKE BLINK OF AN EYE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT UPDATING OUR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND CONSOLIDATING THEM INTO ONE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. DOES IT REMINDER. WE DID START INITIALLY WITH A CODE ASSESSMENT AND FIRST BLACK FIRST BLUSH OUTREACH EFFORTS WITH OUR GENERAL PUBLIC DEVELOPERS, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR AND A HALF, ACTUALLY DOING THE CODE REVIEW AND REWRITING, SO THAT IS WHERE WE'VE BEEN OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND WE
[01:25:01]
NOW ARE TO A POINT WHERE WE FEEL AS THOUGH WE ARE READY TO LAUNCH INTO A FINAL REVIEW AND HOPEFULLY ADOPTION LATER ON THIS YEAR. WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE STEPS. WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH THAT WAS BUILT IN. SO THIS LITTLE GRAPHIC HERE JUST SHOWS WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE PHASES WE WERE IN FRONT OF THE CITY COUNCIL ARE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS WELL AS OUR MCKINNEY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION INC BUT, UM COMMITTEE AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH ONLINE SURVEYS AND SOMETHING THAT WE CALL CONVEYOR, WHICH IS THE ABILITY FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT THAT CODE DRAFT DIGITALLY, SO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE REMINDED THAT THIS AS WE LAUNCH INTO THIS LAST PUBLIC OUTREACH EFFORT, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY OUTREACH EFFORT THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THIS PROJECT. WE HAVE BEEN MAKING THAT IN EACH STEP OF THE WAY. SO WITH THE OTHER COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS THAT I WANT TO COVER WITH THE COUNCIL. THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY THAT HAVE BEEN MASSAGED A LITTLE BIT SINCE SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE WORTH NOTING AS WE GET INTO THIS FINAL CODE REVIEW. ONE IS AS IT RELATES TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS AND USES THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HOT TOPIC WITH THE MARKET OR HOUSING MARKET BEING WHAT WHAT? IT IS ONE OF THE BIG CHARGES THAT WAS LEFT WITH US AS A STAFF WAS MAKING SURE THAT THE NEW CODE IS AS FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE WITH REGARD TO EMBRACING ADDITIONAL HOUSING TYPES AND PRODUCT CHOICES FOR OUR RESIDENTS IN MCKINNEY, THROUGHOUT THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF OR SO WE STARTED TO SEE THAT SINGLE FAMILY FOR RENT, MULTI FAMILY P REALLY TAKE OFF. AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED FOR THE COUNCIL. HOW WE ARE LOOKING TO ADDRESS THAT WITH THE NEW CODE. THIS IS JUST A SORT OF A QUICK REVIEW REMINDER OF THE NEW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED WITH THE CODE AND AT THE BOTTOM. WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THE KEY CHANGES FROM OUR CURRENT CODE. SO CURRENTLY ARE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS. WE HAVE WHAT WE CONSIDER OUR STANDARD SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT , WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE SF FIVE DISTRICT, OR ARE FIVE WITH THAT THERE IS A MEAN AND MEDIAN LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT OF 7200 THAT CAUSES SOME ANGST FOR DEVELOPERS . THAT S F FIVE ZONING DISTRICT DOES ALLOW FOR SMALL LOTS, BUT THAT MEAN AND MEDIAN LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT ENSURES THAT THERE IS A MIX OF LOT SIZES. WE LEARNED THROUGH OUR INDEC THAT DOES KIND OF CAUSE SOME CHALLENGES WITH BEING ABLE TO LAY OUT A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALWAYS KNOW HOW THOSE LOT SIZES ARE GOING TO MIX WITH EACH OTHER. SO WITH THE NEW CODE, WE ARE PROPOSING TO MAINTAIN THAT S F FIVE ZONING DISTRICT. BUT REMOVE THAT MEAN AND MEDIA MARKT SIZE, SO THE MINIMUM SIZE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE ALL THAT PREVAILS. 5000 SQUARE FOOT LOT SIZE. BUT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT AS BEING MORE OF AN URBAN DISTRICT NOW SO CLOSER IN CLOSER TO THE COMMERCIAL AREAS, MAYBE CLOSER TO INTERSECTIONS WHERE YOU MAY HAVE THOSE SMALLER LOTS.AND THAT OUR SIXTH WOULD MOVE TO BE ARE WHAT WE CALL STANDARD ZONING DISTRICT. SO IF A STANDARD RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD MAYBE NOT ADJACENT TO COMMERCIAL OR MORE INTERNAL TO A DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WE WOULD BE PROPOSING. WE'VE RUN THIS THROUGH OUR NDC. THEY SEEM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. WE'RE KIND OF GOING LOOKING BACK TO SOME WAYS THAT WE HAVE DONE THINGS IN THE PAST AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IMPROVING THOSE LITTLE BY LITTLE THEY'RE HIGHLIGHTING THAT OUR SIXTH DISTRICT BEING THAT NEW STANDARD RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ON THE FLIP SIDE. PREVIOUSLY WE TALKED TO YOU ALL ABOUT WHAT WE CONSIDER URBAN DISTRICTS, BOTH FOR MULTI FAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY, SO AN URBAN DISTRICT FOR MULTI FAMILY WOULD ALLOW A SUPER HIGH DENSITY UP TO SAY 60 UNITS TO THE ACRE AND AN URBAN SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT MAY ALLOW US SUPER SMALL LOT SIZE SAY 3000 SQUARE FOOT LOT. WE HAD THAT ORIGINALLY IN THE CODE, WE ARE PROPOSING ACTUALLY, TO PUNCH THAT IF YOU WILL, TO A FUTURE PHASE URBAN DISTRICTS AND URBAN RESIDENTIAL ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO CODIFY. UM UNDER A BLANKET ZONING DISTRICT , BECAUSE WHAT MAKES GOOD URBAN DEVELOPMENT IS NOT JUST A DENSITY AND LOT SIZES IT HAS TO DO WITH URBAN CHARACTER AS WELL. LIGHTING STREET NETWORKS, OPEN SPACES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE HIGHER DENSITIES. AND IT'S VERY WE ACTUALLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CODIFY THAT. AND WE ARE PROPOSING AT THIS POINT THAT WE LOOK AT THAT AS A FUTURE PHASE.
WE DID NOT WANT TO BOG DOWN THE TOTALITY OF THIS CODE WITH THOSE URBAN DISTRICTS. WE ALSO FELT LIKE IT MIGHT BE WORTHY OF A VERY SPECIFIC CONVERSATION AND THAT SORT OF FOLDED INTO THIS LARGE CODE OVERHAUL. SO FOR NOW , WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THAT GETS PUSHED TO A FUTURE PHASE OF THE UPDATE AND ALLOWING THOSE URBAN DISTRICTS TO BE CONSIDERED ON THEIR OWN. THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE LOOKING AT INTRODUCING A NEW ZONING DISTRICT FOR RESIDENTIAL CALLED THE FLEX RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT, AND THIS IS ALMOST ENTIRELY TO TRY AND CAPTURE THAT SINGLE FAMILY FOR RENT. DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE. SO INTRODUCING THAT FLEX RESIDENTIAL ZONING
[01:30:07]
DISTRICT, ALONG WITH A NEW, NUANCED USED FOR MULTI FAMILY WHAT WE ARE CAUGHT CALLING COTTAGE, MULTI FAMILY WOULD ALLOW FOR SOMEBODY TO COME FORWARD AND SAY WE WANT TO DO THE SINGLE FAMILY FOR RENT. HERE IS THE STANDARD ZONING DISTRICT THAT YOU CAN UTILIZE FOR THAT, AND IT IS VERY TRANSPARENT FOR BOTH THE PUBLIC AND THE DEVELOPER TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY STANDARDS ARE. PUBLIC KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GETTING, AND WE FEEL AS THOUGH THAT IS A MUCH BETTER WAY TO ADDRESS THAT I CALL CARRIAGE MULTI FAMILY AS OPPOSED TO LOOKING AT PD PLAYING DEVELOPMENTS EVERY SINGLE TIME. SO THERE'S THOSE ARE A FEW OF THE KEY CHANGES THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT WITH THOSE RESIDENTIAL USES IN DISTRICTS AND WE DO THINK THAT IT REALLY MOVES THE CODE FORWARD WITH THIS NEW EFFORT. I ALSO WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE IF YOU'LL RECALL ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE ALSO CHARGED WITH ON THAT NEW CODE IS ADDING AS MUCH FLEXIBILITY AS WE CAN WE INTERNALLY WE CALL IT THE OFF RAMPS WERE HERE IS THE STANDARD, BUT WE ALWAYS KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE NEED AN OFF RAMP, AND ORIGINALLY THE PROPOSAL WAS TO USE THIS ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE PROCESS.WHEREBY STAFF WOULD HAVE A LOT OF DISCRETION FOR THOSE OFF RAMPS. WORKING WITH OUR LEGAL TEAM. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THAT MAY BE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR. AND SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING THIS POINT IS TO ADJUST THAT ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE PROCESS TO MORE OF A DESIGN EXCEPTION PROCESS. IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE MTC, FORM BASED CODE ZONING DISTRICT DOWNTOWN, WE REALLY WOULD BE LOOKING TO ALIGN THE OVERALL CODE WITH THAT DESIGN EXCEPTION PROCESS. SO WE HAVE BUILT IN SOME VERY CONCRETE EXCEPTIONS AT THE STAFF LEVEL WITHIN THE CODE , BUT IF THERE IS ANY LEVEL OF OBJECTIVE CRITERIA FOR DECISION MAKING, THAT'S NECESSARY THAT WOULD MOVE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SO THOSE THINGS WOULD GO TO THEM. AND IF THERE ARE EVER ANY APPEALS OR CHALLENGES, THEY WOULD ALWAYS OF COURSE, COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO WE HAVE MASSAGE THAT A LITTLE BIT. WE DO STILL FEEL AS THOUGH WE ARE ADDING A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY INTO THE CODE WITH THIS DESIGN EXCEPTION PROCESS. ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CONSIDER A LOT OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED FOR THOSE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, PARKING AND LANSCHOT PARKING LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS AND OUR CURRENT CODE ARE VERY RIGID. WITH THE PROPOSED NEW CODE. THERE IS A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE CODE TO ALLOW FOR ALTERNATE DESIGNS WITHOUT THE NEED OF THAT DESIGN EXCEPTION, BUT IT IS STILL IN THERE IN CASE THERE IS THAT OFFER AND THAT'S NECESSARY. SO AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE BRIEF CODE UPDATES, I WANTED TO TURN IT OVER TO AARON TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE PLAN TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC AS WE LAUNCH INTO THIS LAST EFFORT TO, UH TO THE ROAD TO ADOPTIONS, ERIN, YOU WANT TO COME ON UP AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT STRATEGY. GOOD AFTERNOON. LIKE JENNIFER SAID. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF OUTREACH TO THIS POINT. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE ON AS WE MOVE FORWARD, AND SO THE FOCUS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THE CODE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND TRY AND EDUCATE THEM ABOUT ALL THE PIECES AS WE CAN. AND SO IT WAS.
WE MOVE FORWARD. WE REALLY HAVE THREE STEPS THAT WE LIKE TO CALL THE THREE L'S. SO THE FIRST STEP IS STEP ONE IS TO LAUNCH THIS. WE'RE LAUNCHING THE CONSOLIDATED CODE AND DRAFT REVIEW, AND THAT'S REALLY OUR BIG SPLASH SYSTEM. LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT IT'S OUT THERE. IT'S AVAILABLE.
FOR THEM TO GO AND LOOK AT STEP TWO IS OUR LEARNED PHASE. THIS IS WHERE WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GET OUT WITH THE PUBLIC OR HAVE THEM COME AND TALK TO US SO THEY CAN LEARN ABOUT THE CODE AND THE NEW ITEMS THAT ARE OUT THERE. AND THE LAST STEP IS THE LEGAL STUFF, AND THIS IS REALLY JUST THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET THE CODE ADOPTED.
AND SO I WAS LIKE EACH ONE OF THESE AS WE GO INTO EACH ONE OF THESE PHASES, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S REALLY TWO MAIN OPPONENTS. THERE'S AN OUTREACH COMPONENT OF ALL THE ITEMS THAT YOU SEE LISTED THERE AND THERE IS A FEEDBACK. WE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK AND WANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AND FROM EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT HOW THE CODES ARE WORKING HOW THEY'RE DOING, HOW IT'S SET UP IF WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB, AND SO, UM, IN STEP ONE LAUNCH, WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A BIG EMAIL BLAST OUT TO EVERYONE. THAT'S PART OF OUR CODE. SOCIAL MEDIA, OF COURSE, USING ALL OUR OUTLETS THAT WE HAVE THE YOU SAW MENTIONED EARLIER. ALSO GETTING IN THE WEBSITE. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A COMPARISON CODE TOOLS SO THAT THEY CAN KIND OF LOOK AND SEE. THE CHANGES IN THEIR SPECIFIC AREA IN THEIR SPECIFIC ZONING.
SO THEY CAN SEE THAT OBVIOUSLY GETTING IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE IN FRONT OF PNC NEXT WEEK. TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PRESENTATION, BUT THEN ALSO HAVE A SURVEY UP THERE FOR THE TIME FRAME THAT THIS IS UP AND, OF COURSE, OUR TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, WHICH IS THE KIDNEY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. WILL BE GOING THROUGH THIS AND GIVING US A REDLINE VERSION AS WELL. SO STEP TWO. AND I'M SORRY THAT THAT IS VERY HARD TO READ. I WILL BE CHANGING MR QUINT
[01:35:03]
RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING THE COLORS. I'M GONNA IMAGINE HE WAS VERY DIFFICULT ON THE T V SCREENS. THAT LOOKS A LOT BETTER VERY DIFFICULT. I'M JUST GOING TO ASSOCIATE THAT WITH MAYBE HE HAD CHOSEN HIS COLORS. YEAH, GO AHEAD, BUT SO HERE YOU HAVE THE OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING HERE, SO NOT ONLY DO WE DO THE BIG SPLASH, BUT WORKING IN THE CONTINUE TO SEND OUT SOME EMAILS ON SPECIFIC ITEMS TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND SEE WHAT'S OUT. THERE WERE WE'VE KIND OF BEEN TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO DO SOMETHING IN THE COMMUNITY IMPACT, NOT JUST A ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE CODE, BUT MAYBE SOME SORT OF ARTICLE. IF WE CAN GET THAT APPROVED AND GO OUT THERE, OF COURSE, DOING OUR STUFF IN OUR CITY NEWSLETTERS SO THAT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITIES THE AGE WAYS THAT CAN KIND OF START TO HEAR ABOUT IT, LEARN ABOUT IT. UM I MENTIONED THE COMPARISON TOOLS ALREADY. UH IN THIS PHASE, THE BIG PIECE THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL IS WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING WHAT WE CALL THE DROP IN MEETINGS AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SET UP A MEETING TIME FOR STAFF TO JUST BE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN. AND ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CODE AND HOW IT EITHER RELATES TO THEIR PROPERTY OR THE ZONING IN GENERAL. AND SO WE'LL HAVE A FEW OF THOSE SET UP DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THE TIME FRAME IS FROM JUNE 13TH TO AUGUST 15TH. SO YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF MONTHS, SO THAT'S TWO MONTHS FOR US TO GO OUT AND WORK AND DO ALL THESE ITEMS. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO DO SOME SMALL GROUP SESSIONS WITH THE LANDOWNERS. UM AND SOME OF THE FREQUENT FLYERS WHO USED THE CODE QUITE REGULARLY, SO IF THEY HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, THEY CAN ASK US THERE. AND HOPEFULLY ANSWER ANY OF THE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE'LL COME BACK AND TALK WITH YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT PIECES OF THE CODE AND WHAT WE'VE HEARD. HAS WE ALWAYS LIKE TO GET EVERYONE'S FEEDBACK ON THESE? LAST IS THE LEGAL STUFF. UM AND WE'RE LOOKING FROM THE AUGUST TO OCTOBER TIMEFRAME. AND REALLY, THIS IS TALKING ABOUT ALL OUR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE TO DO OUR LEGAL NOTICES . WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF OTHER OPTIONS TO TRY AND GET THE WORD OUT THAT THIS IS COMING FORWARD AND THERE IS GOING TO BE PUBLIC HEARINGS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING UTILITY BILL STUFFERS AND THEN ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY IMPACT ALONG WITH THAT. LEGAL NOTICE THAT WE HAVE TO DO. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO. REQUIRED WITH THAT, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. DEPENDING ON HOW THOSE ROLLOUT. WITH THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR FROM COUNCILS IN TERMS OF HELP IS REALLY? WE WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE DOCUMENT. A LOT OF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE OR HAVE QUESTIONS THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR US TO HEAR TO UNDERSTAND AND TO KNOW. OBVIOUSLY WE WANT YOU TO HELP US PROMOTE THE DOCUMENT AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND GET THIS GOING UM COME OUT, PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENTS IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING, ALSO A LOT OF TIMES YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HEAR STUFF THAT WE DON'T OR YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT FIRST, AND SO EITHER HELPING EDUCATE ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS OR SENATE. OUR WAY. SEND IT TO MYSELF OR JENNIFER OR MICHAEL QUINT. ALEX MILLER IS ALSO BEEN A BIG PART OF THIS PROJECT FOR US AND MAYBE NOT HAVE SEEN HIM AS MUCH. BUT HE'S THE ONE WHO'S HELPING US, RIGHT? A LOT OF THIS DOCUMENT, SO UM, WE'RE HERE TO HELP. IN THAT ASPECT, AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU GUYS ARE DOING OR WHATEVER YOU'RE HEARING THAT WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT AS WELL. WITH THAT I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO JENNIFER. ALRIGHT SO THAT'S SORT OF THE OUTREACH AND MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE CODE ADOPTION IS ON THE HORIZON. AND I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ADOPTION STRATEGY AND AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE VISITED WITH MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ABOUT LATE LAST YEAR, SO I WILL ALL FLY THROUGH THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUT I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CIRCLED BACK TO IT BECAUSE THIS WILL FLAVOR HOW WE ACTUALLY PROMOTE THE DOCUMENT AND THE WAY IN WHICH WE HOPE TO GET IT ADOPTED. JUST AS A REMINDER WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WRITING A NEW CODE AND MAKING A NEW CODE, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT INITIAL FEAR OF IT'S GOING TO AFFECT EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY OWNER IN THE CITY. AND ABSOLUTELY THAT CAN BE TRUE. BUT JUST A REMINDER THAT ABOUT 70% OF THE CITY IS OWNED PD, WHICH MEANS IT HAS TAILOR MADE ZONING ON IT. SO THE LARGE CHANGES IN THE CODE THEY AFFECT ON THOSE PD ZONE. ING'S IS REALLY REDUCED.ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT OF THE 70% OF THE CITY THAT IS OWNED PD. WE ALSO HAVE ABOUT 70% OF THE CITY THAT IS ALREADY DEVELOPED, SO REALLY THE MAJOR IMPACTS ON THOSE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE A STRAIGHT ZONING DISTRICT AND ARE UNDEVELOPED. AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT MAY POTENTIALLY HAVE THE MOST SORT OF IMPACT ON THIS ZONE ON THE ZONING CODE CHANGES. THAT BEING SAID, WE DO HAVE THREE OPTIONS THAT WE SEE FOR AMENDING THE ZONING CODE. ONE IS WHAT WE CALL THE REZONE EVERYTHING. THAT IS WHERE THE CITY ACTUALLY GOES OUT AND RE ZONES EVERY SINGLE
[01:40:03]
PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WE HAVE DONE THAT ONCE, BUT TWICE BEFORE, BUT ONCE BEFORE THAT IS NOTEWORTHY, AND THAT WAS IN 2013, WHERE WE ACTUALLY REZONED PROPERTIES IN THE DOWNTOWN FOR THE MTC ZONING . WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING THAT WITH THIS CODE LEGAL CHALLENGES ARE HIGH RISKS ARE HIGH RISK FOR ERROR IS HIGH, AND WE JUST DON'T WE? WE DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH THAT IS THE BEST CHOICE. OPTION TWO IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY FAMILIAR TO US. THAT IS THAT TEXT AMENDMENT WHERE WE ACTUALLY KEEP EVERYBODY'S OWNING THE SAME , BUT THE CODE ITSELF. THE TEXT THAT APPLIES DOES GET UPDATED. AND THEN THE THIRD OPTION IS WHAT WE CONSIDER THE ADD ON.THAT IS WHERE NOTHING GETS CHANGED IN THE CURRENT CODE. WE JUST SORT OF ADD AN AMENDMENT TO THAT CODE FOR EVERYTHING THAT GETS ZONED IN THE FUTURE. WE ARE RECOMMENDING AS A STAFF I'M GONNA FLY THROUGH THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING IS THE STAFF THAT TEXT ONLY AMENDMENT AGAIN. IT IS FAMILIAR. WE DO FEEL AS THOUGH IT'S A GOOD, SWEET SPOT OF RISK AND REWARD FOR THE CITY. WE HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE. THERE IS CASE LAW OUT THERE. THAT REALLY SAYS THIS IS A REALLY SOUND WAY OF AMENDING A ZONING CODE, EVEN IF IT IS OF THE MAGNITUDE THAT WE ARE DOING. UM ONCE WE KNOW HOW WE WANT TO AMEND THE ZONING CODE. NOW THERE'S THAT TRANSITION TO HOW DO WE MOVE FROM THE OLD CODE TO THE ZOO? TO THE NEW CODE? WE DO THINK THAT THERE ARE THREE OPTIONS FOR THAT. WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING IS STRATEGY THREE. AND THAT IS WHAT WE CALL THE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE, AND ESSENTIALLY, THE CITY WOULD OPERATE TWO CODES FOR THREE OR PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS.
WE'RE IN A PROPERTY OWNER COULD SAY. I DON'T LIKE THE CHANGES IN THE NEW CODE. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUILD UNDER THE OLD CODE. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN THAT FIRST SIX MONTH WINDOW AND THAT ALLOWS ANYBODY WHO WAS ACTUALLY MOVING AND PLANNING TO DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY UNDER THE OLD CODE, THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO RESPECT THAT AND GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION TO MAKE THE CHOICE THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM WITH THE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE OPTION. IT IS A TAKE IT TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, BUT IT IS. YOU CAN'T MIX AND MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO CODES. YOU EITHER FULLY DEVELOPING UNDER THE OLD CODE. YOU'RE FULLY DEVELOPING UNDER THE NEW CODE. YOU DON'T GET TO PICK AND SHOES FROM FROM EACH ONE OF THOSE CODES AND WE DO FEEL AS THOUGH THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO MINIMIZE ANY POTENTIAL RISK OR EXPOSURE TO THE CITY BECAUSE BOOKS DO STILL HAVE THAT ALLOWANCE. TO MAKE A CHOICE THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM. SO BETWEEN THE TEXT ONLY AMENDMENT AND THE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE TRANSITION STRATEGY. WE FEEL AS THOUGH THAT IS A SOUND WAY TO MOVE FORWARD. I THINK IN OUR DISCUSSIONS LATE LAST YEAR, IT SEEMED LIKE WE HAD PRETTY GOOD GENERAL CONSENSUS ON THAT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STILL HAVE THAT NOD OF APPROVAL. SO THAT WE CAN START DRAFTING THE FINAL CODE WITH THAT LENS THROUGH THAT LENS. UM AND I BELIEVE THAT IS OUR LAST SLIDE. SO AGAIN, WE'RE ABOUT TO MOVE INTO THAT FINAL PHASE OF CONSOLIDATED CODE REVIEW, OUTREACH AND ADOPTION. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU. COME SEPTEMBER OCTOBER FOR ACTUAL ADOPTION, AND SO THE BIG SPLASH IS FINALLY HERE. WE ARE EXCITED THAT WE'RE AT THIS POINT , AND WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AFFORDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THAT BIG PHASE. SO BEFORE ASKING IF WE HAVE THE SAME CONSENSUS WE DID. AT THE END OF LAST YEAR. IS ANY QUESTIONS FOR GENERAL BRING SO , THEN I BELIEVE WE STILL DO NOW IS ANYONE OPPOSED? THE RECOMMENDATIONS. IS THE NEW GUY WITH THE LEAST KNOWLEDGE. I WANT TO THROW A WRENCH IN THIS FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. VARIOUS AWAY. YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS. IT'S A LOT IN IT'S APPRECIATED. AND I APPRECIATE IT TO AND FROM SOMEBODY WHO'S HAD TO DEAL WITH THE OLD CODE FOR 30 SOMETHING YEARS. AH THIS IS A GREAT ENDEAVOR. I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK. THANK YOU.
