AWESOME. SO JUNE 75% THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR, SO THAT'S NINE MONTHS THROUGH. RELEVANT IN THE FAR LEFT COLUMN. IT'S JUST YOURS. BUDGET THAT WE ADOPT, YOU KNOW, LIKE IN THE FUTURE OR THREE OR FOUR MONTHS BEFORE THE FISCAL YEAR STARTS. THAT'S WHAT Y'ALL APPROVED. THEN IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL THAT SECOND COLUMN IS THE ONE THAT I'LL BE TALKING TO YOU ALL EACH MONTH, AND IT SHOWS WHAT THE MONTH OF JUNE ACTUALLY DID. OR WHATEVER MONTH WE'RE REFERRING TO YOU AT THAT TIME, SO FOR JUNE ARE MONTHLY ACTUALLY HAD 1.7. THREE MILLION IN SALES TAX REVENUE. WE HAD 65,000 AND INTEREST INCOME, WHICH TOLD ONE POINT CLOSE TO $1.8 MILLION. AND WE GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM IS EXPENSES AND I KIND OF HAD THE BIGGER CATEGORIES. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE BREAK THEM UP UNTIL WE HAVE OPERATIONS. WHICH IS THAT FIRST LITTLE BUCKET WE HAD 53,000 FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. UM FOR PROJECTS. WE HADE 239,000 THAT WAS COMMUNITY AND GRANTS. AND, UM THE CAPITAL WAS RELATED TO TUBS AND THE VERY BOTTOM SECTION IS 258,000. AND THAT WILL INCLUDE YOUR PARK CONSTRUCTION FUND, WHICH IS 126,000 INCLUDES BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES, WHICH IS ALSO RELATED TO TUBS. IMPACT. UM AND SO YOUR TOTAL EXPENSES FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE WAS 438,000. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO THE END OF JUNE WAS 1.3 MILLION. THAT BRINGS THE YEAR TO DATE TO 7.3 MILLION AS WELL. I'M GONNA TRY TO SEE THIS WORKS. MIGHT HAVE TO. THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT SO ALL OF YOU MAKE IT BIGGER AT ALL. IT'S SLIGHTLY. PERFECT UM, SO THIS IS WHAT I TALKED TO YOUR AUDIENCE MONTH THAT SHOWS OURSELVES TAX REVENUE YEAR TO DATE. IT. ALSO SHOWS ARE COMPARISON TO THEIR SISTER CITIES AS WELL AS ON TOP PART IS TO SHOW JUNE 22. IT SHOWS OUR COMPARISON TO LAST FISCAL YEAR THEIR THEIR COMPARISON TO JUNE OF LAST YEAR, SO WE SAW 14.5% INCREASE. ALAN SAUL 0.8% INCREASE FRISCO SOLID 26% INCREASE IN PLATO'S ALL 14.14% INCREASE LOOKING AT, UM, AUDIT COLLECTIONS AND ALL THAT. THESE ARE ACTUALLY TRUE NUMBERS. THERE IS A VERY SMALL DIFFERENCE IN ANY OF THE PROPERTY CLASSES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, SO THEY DESERVE THE GOOD NUMBERS TO GO OFF OF GOING DOWN TO JUST A LITTLE BIT BELOW THAT YOU HAVE OUR YEAR TO DATE, AND THAT SHOWS YOU KNOW ALL OUR COLLECTIONS THROUGH THIS FISCAL YEAR AND WHERE WE'RE AT SO WE'RE AT 17.6. ALAN'S AT 8.6. FRESCOES AT 24.4% AND PLANO'S AT 17.7. UM I ALSO LOOK AT THE SALES TAX BY INDUSTRY. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING THAT POPPED OUT TO ME CONSTRUCTIONS UP TO ABOUT 80% OVER LAST YEAR, BUT THAT FLUCTUATIONS DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR, AND SO THAT DIDN'T REALLY CATCH MY. BESIDES THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THOSE ARE PRETTY QUIET MONTH OF JUNE. QUESTIONS I KNOW ALL OF THE FINANCIALS WERE ATTACHED TO OUR REPORT. I'LL JUST SAY THANKS THE GROUP. THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT. THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS SLIDE LIKE THAT. I'LL JUST DO THIS EVERY MONTH AND GIVE YOU SOME NUMBERS ACTUALLY, LOOK AT

SOME. WE JUST SPINNING OUT OF HERE. GRACE. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHANCE. NEXT AGENDA ITEM 22-0672 AND LAYS ON REPORTS. WE HAVE A FEW THINGS WE ALWAYS HAVE. IT'S BEEN A CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S END OF JUNE. JULY, IS, UM IT SEEMED LIKE IT WENT BY FAST, BUT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK A REALLY, REALLY LONG SO THIS PAST MONTH. WE'VE HAD A LOT LOT OF GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN THE IN OUR CITY. WE HAD KICKED OFF THE MONTH WITH FOURTH OF JULY AND OUR PARADE AND YANKEE YANKEE DOODLE BLACK PARTY AND THE MARGARITA STROLL, WHICH IS ALWAYS A WONDERFUL EVENT. IT WAS A HOT ONE. BUT THERE WERE STILL MANY I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND, AND THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE THAT STILL WERE ABLE TO ATTEND, UH IN PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY SOUL, BUT IT WAS HOT. IT WAS VERY HARD. ALSO IT WASN'T RELATED TO THIS, BUT ALSO THE ROJO RONALD JONES, WHO WAS OUR OWN. HE HAD HIS, UM, HIS ANNUAL FOOTBALL CAMP THAT WAS EVEN WELL ATTENDED. SO THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT SUPPORTED AND CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED IN THE HAT IS I CALL IT IN THE HEART.

WE HAVE DFW SERIES RACES AND CHAMBER QUARTERLY LUNCHEON AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND I DON'T KNOW WHO DAVID RACHET AND DAVID KELLEY WERE ABLE TO ATTEND. THE DRUM COURTS CORPSE INTERNATIONAL. NEVER HAD BEEN TO ONE WASN'T SURE WHAT I WAS GOING TO EXPECT. BUT IT WAS PET AND THEY HELD IT LATER IN THE EVENING, SO IT WASN'T VERY HIGH, BUT IT WAS REALLY JUST PHENOMENAL TO SEE THESE PERFORMERS IN THESE DRUM COURTS PERFORM. I WAS AMAZED TO SEE JUST IN. THESE ARE KYLE. I THINK ADULT COLLEGE STUDENTS, SAID 19 TO 22 THEY GAVE UP THEIR SUMMER CALM AND CONTINUE TO PRACTICE. AND SO I THINK IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. I THINK IT WOULD BE EVEN

[00:10:02]

MORE ATTENDED NEXT YEAR WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH SOME OF THE PROMOTER AND THE DIRECTOR.

THEY JUST TALKED ABOUT HOW AMAZING THE CROWD WAS AND HOW THEY ACTUALLY THEY HAD A NUMBER THAT THEY HAD AN EXPECTATION AND EXCEEDED THAT. SO IT WAS REALLY GREAT DAVID AND THAT Y'ALL HAVE COMMENTS BECAUSE ANYBODY WILL GO DOWN THE LINE BECAUSE EVERYBODY INTENDED SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS SUMMER. I THINK THAT WE HAVE THE PROMOTER HERE, AND HE'S GOING TO TALK TO US IN A FEW MINUTES AND I'LL RESERVE MY COMMENTS TO THAT. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? WELL I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE PROMOTER WHO IS A VERY GOOD FRIEND AND CHANGED MY NAME TAG AGAIN. YEAH SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND. HOWEVER I DID HEAR THAT . IT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT AND GREAT ATTENDANCE. SO CONGRATULATIONS. AND I ALSO WAS ABLE TO ATTEND. UM FOURTH OF JULY, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO KIND OF STOP BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE APEX TO THE SPLASH AND SWIM AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT. I WANT TO GIVE BIG KUDOS TO ERICA AND HER TEAM FOR IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE FAMILIES COME OUT. IT WAS COOL.

OH I EVEN GOT IN THE POOL AND EVERYTHING, SO IT WAS REALLY WELL ATTENDED. AND I THINK WHAT SHE SHARED WITH ME IS THAT THEY DECIDED TO DO THAT, BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS THEY SAW SO MANY FAMILIES WERE JUST COMING IN TO GO IN THE PARKING LOT TO WATCH. YOU KNOW, THE FIREWORKS FROM CRAIG GRANT AREA, AND SO THEY SAY, OKAY, IF THEY'RE COMING HERE, MAYBE WHY NOT OFFER THIS OPPORTUNITY? TO YOU UTILIZE THE FACILITIES AND TO SWIM. IT WAS WELL ATTENDED. THEY HAD SOME FOOD TRUCKS OUT THERE. SO AGAIN KUDOS TO PARKS AND REC APEX FOR TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL RECREATIONAL ON THAT DAY ALSO, SO THANK YOU AGAIN AT THIS TIME , PRESIDENT IS NOT YOUR TIME TO YOU, OKAY? IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT YOUR TIME. OKAY SO THIS TIME WE WOULD HAVE CITY COMING FROM OUR OWN FALL GRAMS. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR, MADAM PRESIDENT.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS PAUL GRIMES CITY MANAGER. FEW THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY WE ARE AT THAT TIME OF YEAR TONIGHT OR TODAY MORNING. I SHOULD SAY ON YOUR AGENDA, YOU HAVE YOUR BUDGET APPROVAL. THAT'S BECAUSE ON AUGUST 12TH. WE NEED TO HAVE ALL OF THOSE BUDGET REQUESTS ON AUGUST 12TH. WE ARE PRESENTING THE BUDGET RIGHT HERE IN THIS ROOM TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND A HALF DAY BUDGET WORKSHOP THE MORNING OF AUGUST 12TH. WE, UM WE HAVE AN INTERESTING TIME IN WHICH WE ARE PREPARING A BUDGET YET AGAIN. SO 2019. I WAS JUST HAVING A CONVERSATION THIS MORNING WILL BE THE YEAR THE LAST YEAR OF NORMALITY SUPPOSED TO SPEAK BECAUSE IN 2020, WE HAD A PANDEMIC YEAR LAST YEAR PANDEMIC AND INFLATION INCREASING AND THIS YEAR HIGH INFLATION, SO WE'RE PREPARING A BUDGET PRESENTED IT IN ANOTHER WHIPSAW.

ENVIRONMENT BUT IT IS IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUDGET PRESENTATION ON AUGUST 12 EARLIER THIS MONTH, MAYOR FULLER MYSELF ASSISTANT MANAGER SHELTON KEN CARLY, THE DIRECTOR OF THE AIRPORT, TREVOR MINIATURE. WE HEADED TO WASHINGTON. WE MET WITH A COUPLE OF OUR SENATORS AND THAT LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION IN GENERAL AS WELL AS F A, A AND D O. T STAFF WERE THERE TO TALK ABOUT. STRATEGIC MATTERS RELEVANT TO MCKINNEY, INCLUDING AN AIRPORT PERHAPS, AND TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, SO IT'S GOOD GOOD DISCUSSIONS. GOOD MEETINGS. WE THOUGHT, UM THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT MCKINNEY'S OBJECTIVES ARE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN LISTENING AND LEARNING, AND I THINK, GENERALLY RECEPTIVE TO WHAT WE'VE HAD TO SAY. UM CITY HALL. MOMENTUM CONTINUES. YOU'RE GOING TO GET A PRESENTATION THIS MORNING. I BELIEVE FROM SYSTEM MANAGER SHELTON. YOU SEE THE SILO ART IS GOING UP AND IS UNDERWAY COMING TOGETHER SLOWLY , BUT SURELY THAT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT SHOWCASE OUR PUBLIC ART PIECE FOR THE COMMUNITY TUBS BREWERY AS YOU SEE IF YOU DRIVE BY THERE, IT'S AN ABSOLUTE CONSTRUCTION ZONE.

BUT ALL GOOD. WE LIKE TO SEE BULLDOZERS MOVING DIRT AND CONCRETE BEING POURED. AND THEN, OF COURSE, CITY HALL IS BARRY WILL UPDATE YOU ON THAT. IN TERMS OF THAT TIMELINE, THE TUESDAY NEXT TUESDAY ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA, WE WILL HAVE THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF FUNDS IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES IT FOR THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST. THIS IS A COMMUNITY LAND TRUST WILL BE USED AS A BANK IF YOU WILL TRUST FOR PURPOSES OF PURCHASING REAL ESTATE AND HELPING CREATE OR MAINTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, YET ANOTHER TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. THERE AREN'T THAT MANY COMMUNITY LAND TRUST STATEWIDE, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE GOT SOME WELL KNOWN FOLKS THAT ARE WANTING TO OPERATE AND PROPOSED TO OPERATE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST FOR THE COMMUNITY. BUT THIS THIS ITEM ON THE BUDGET FOR NEXT TO OR ON THE AGENDA FOR

[00:15:04]

NEXT TUESDAY WILL BE THE CONTRIBUTION OF A MILLION DOLLARS INTO THE COMMUNITY AND TRUST. WE HOPE THAT IS JUST SEED MONEY. THE FIRST OF MULTIPLE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. I THINK BANKS COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT FUNDS , FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK OTHER NONPROFIT ENTITIES AND OTHERS WHO WOULD HAVE AN INTEREST IN FURTHERING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

UM. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST WEEK TO VISIT THE COMMUNITY GARDEN KITCHEN. ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT A GREAT PLACE IT IS. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, YOU CAN GO THERE EVERY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING, FROM 6 TO 8 P.M. AND GET A MEAL. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. GENERALLY INTENDED FOR FOLKS IN NEED FAMILIES IN NEED. IT'S DIGNIFIED DINING. IT'S AN AMAZING PLACE. JENNIFER BRIGHTMAN TURNS OUT SHE'S A FRIEND OR KIDS PLAYED BASEBALL TOGETHER. SHE'S A CHEF . SHE'S AN AMAZING CHEF. IF YOU'VE EVER HIRED HER FOR CATERING, SHE'S THE CHEF FOR THE COMMUNITY GARDEN KITCHEN. THEY DO GREAT WORK, AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THEM IN TOWN AND THEN FINALLY WATER. SO WE ARE NOW ASKING FOLKS TO VOLUNTARILY CURTAIL THEIR IRRIGATION TO ONE DAY A WEEK. AWFUL LOT OF GREEN LAWNS OUT THERE, THAT'S THAT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE IN A DROUGHT ENVIRONMENT. BUT I JUST FOR PERSPECTIVE. WE TYPICALLY PUMP ON A TYPICAL WINTER DAY 20 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. NOW FIGURING THAT IN THE SUMMERTIME YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF INCREASED. YOU DON'T COUNT IRRIGATION. IF YOU JUST INCREASE. MAYBE YOU NEEDED AN EXTRA SHOWER PER DAY. MAYBE YOU'RE PUT A LITTLE WATER IN THE POOLS. THINGS LIKE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT NUMBER INCREASE ON A NORMAL BASIS, MAYBE 25 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, BUT WE PUMPED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO 60 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.

THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH IRRIGATION IS GOING ON, AND THAT'S AGAIN. IRRIGATION IS GREAT WHEN TIMES ARE WHEN YOU HAVE PLENTY OF WATER IN THE PUMPING SYSTEMS OF WATER DISTRICT HAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CAPACITY THEY CAN TREAT TREAT SO MUCH WATER AT A TIME. IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE TO PUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DROUGHT LIKE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW WE UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WANT THEIR GREEN LAWNS. BUT IN THE BIG PICTURE GREEN LAWNS YOU KNOW THE GRASS DOESN'T DIE JUST GOES DORMANT. IT'LL COME BACK SO ANYWAY WITH THAT WE ARE A LOT OF MESSAGING. WE'RE PUTTING OUT THERE WORKING WITH WATER DISTRICT AND MAKING SURE THAT THE FOLKS KNOW THAT WE ARE VOLUNTARILY ASKING FOLKS TO CURTAIL THEIR USED TO ONCE A WEEK. UM I'M DOING MINE. I PROBABLY HAVE THE BROWN IST LAWN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS AWARE THAT WITH A BADGE OF HONOR, AND I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I'LL JUST MAKE A COMMENT. I'M NOT GOING TO STAY WHERE I STAY, BUT I DO HAVE A CULPRIT IN MY COMMUNITY THAT HAS A VERY PLUSH GREEN LAWN AND I'M THINKING EVERYBODY AROUND HERE GOT BURNT GRASS. YOU I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO TELL. BUT IT'S CONSPICUOUS. THE EVIDENCE IS PRETTY CLEAR. DON'T WANNA BE THE ONE TODAY BUT NOW THAT YOU ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT, I'VE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THE COMMUNICATION THAT HAS BEEN COMING IN AND I'VE CUT BACK ON ON MY WATERING. UM SO I JUST DIDN'T ENCOURAGE EVERYONE AND ANYONE LISTENING TO LET'S HELP OUR CITY AND SAVE OUR WATER AND CONSERVE OUR WATER. SO OKAY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VISIT MCKINNEY. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR, MADAM PRESIDENT, CDC BOARD. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS MORNING. IT IS MY FIRST MEETING BACK WITH YOU. AS THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF VISIT MCKINNEY AND THE FIRST TWO MONTHS HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE THRILL AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE BACK IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT I LOVE AND LIVE. AND SO I'VE GOT A FEW UPDATES FOR YOU. AND THEN I'M ACTUALLY GONNA PASS THE MIC OFF FOR A SECOND TO SOMEONE, BUT UM, I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WHILE WE FEEL LIKE WE JUST HAD THE BYRON WE ALREADY HAVE OUR STAFF TRAVELING AROUND AS OF YESTERDAY WITH SOME OF THEIR STAFF MEMBERS TRYING TO LOCK DOWN HOTEL ROOM BLOCKS AT DIFFERENT OUR FACILITIES. IT BECAME EVIDENT AS SOON AS WE SAW THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT AT THE STAR IN FRISCO, THEY'RE GOING TO BE HOLDING THE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS ON THE SAME WEEK AS THE BYRON NEXT YEAR. AND SO THAT MEANS THAT HOTELS AND COLLIN COUNTY ARE GOING TO BE AT A PREMIUM, AND SO WE WANTED TO GET THEIR STAFF HERE AND START MAKING THOSE ARRANGEMENTS BEFORE BEFORE IT GETS TOO CRAZY OUT THERE AND THEN WITH WITH THAT TO THE MONTH AFTER THE BYRON BEING JUNE, IT WAS HIGH. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM AN OCCUPANCY TAX STANDPOINT, BUT WE WERE AT 76.7% ACROSS THE CITY, WHICH WAS 14.7% ABOVE LAST YEAR YEAR TODAY AND AVERAGE DAILY RATE WAS REALLY EXCITING AS WELL. AND WE'VE BEEN REALLY HOPING AS A BOARD AS A DEPARTMENT TO GET ABOVE THAT $100 AVERAGE DAILY RATE MARK FROM MCKINNEY AND THIS MONTH WE WERE SO CLOSE WE WERE AT $99.72 , WHICH IS A HUGE STEP FOR US. FOR EXAMPLE, THAT'S $11.90 HIGHER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR. THIS TIME. AND SO REALLY GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN THE HOTEL

[00:20:03]

INDUSTRY. OBVIOUSLY TRAVEL IS BACK, NOT ONLY TRANSIENT BUT GROUP AS WELL IN BUSINESS TRAVEL , AND SO WE'RE SEEING THAT OUR STAFF PUT TOGETHER OVER ALMOST 2000 WELCOME BAGS LAST MONTH FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT CAME INTO THE COMMUNITY, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A RECORD UNTIL THIS MONTH. AND SO I'LL WAIT FOR THAT NUMBER. UM TO GIVE YOU THE NEXT MEETING, BUT WE DID A LOT WITH DC AND SO THAT DEFINITELY PUSH THAT UP. AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME REALLY EXCITING.

RFP S OUT THERE RIGHT NOW FOR OTHER EVENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN MCKINNEY, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THOSE ON THE BACK END AND I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO COME BEFORE YOU HERE PRETTY SOON, AND I LET YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE EVENTS MIGHT BE IF THEY CHOOSE MCKINNEY, BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY DO. AND WITH THAT, BEING SAID, TYPICALLY , I WOULD GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON DC BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A PHENOMENAL EVENT, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY APPROPRIATE TO INVITE DEAN CIMINI, THE PRESIDENT OF OUR MARCHING MADE IN MCKINNEY, WHO REALLY PUT THE SWEAT EQUITY INTO THAT EVENT AND HAS BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS YEARS TO GET THIS EVENT TO MCKINNEY. SO I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY YIELD A FEW MINUTES OF MY TIME TO HIM AND LET HIM TELL YOU, SOME UPDATES. THANKS, DEAN. THANKS ERIN. I APPRECIATE THAT. MADAM CHAIR, MADAM PRESIDENT BOARD. THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE THIS MORNING. AS ERIN SAID, SO. I'M DEAN SIMONI, THE PRESIDENT OF A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION CALLED MARCHING MUSIC MADE MCKINNEY THAT WE FORMED ACTUALLY SIX YEARS AGO. AND WE FORMED IT TO BE ABLE TO BRING THIS DRUM CORPS EVENT TO MCKINNEY, THE PURPOSE OF WHICH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF WHICH IS TO CREATE A DONATION BACK TO THE FINE ARTS PROGRAMS IN MCKINNEY, I S D. WE CREATED A MULTI DAY EVENT. SOME OF YOU ATTENDED ANGELA, DAVID AND DAVID WERE ALL THERE ON THE BIG SHOW ON TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT WE ALSO HAD A DRUM BATTLE AT TOPS ON ON MONDAY NIGHT, AND WE SOLD OUT BOTH EVENTS. 325 TICKETS AT TOPS 5000 TICKETS FOR THE DRUM CORPS EVENT AND THE MSD STADIUM. AND IN TALKING WITH DAN ATCHISON, WHO'S THE CEO OF DRUM CORPS INTERNATIONAL, WHO HAS BEEN A CRITICAL PARTNER IN THIS, ALONG WITH FOLKS FROM THE CITY. CERTAINLY MAYOR FULLER DOCTOR MCDANIEL FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEN A GROUP OF ENGAGED CITIZENS. DAN ACHESON TOLD ME THAT WE BEAT THE CI SINGLE DAY TICKET SALES WERE ON SATURDAY. WE SOLD 500 TICKETS IN A SINGLE DAY. WE ALSO BEAT THE ATTENDANCE AT MESQUITE, WHO HAS BEEN HOSTING A SHOW FOR FIVE YEARS NOW THEY HAD A SHOW ON MONDAY NIGHT. THEY HAD 2500 ATTENDEES. WE HAD 5000 ATTENDEES IN OUR STADIUM. SO REAL REAL REAL PROUD MOMENT FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SO HARD AND OF COURSE, FOR ALL OF OUR VIPS WHO WERE THERE TO GET A CHANCE TO SEE IT. WE ALSO GOT GREAT ANECDOTAL FEEDBACK FROM NOT ONLY THE D. C I MEMBERS AND BOARD WHO WERE THERE, BUT ALSO FROM THE DRUM CORES. THIS WAS 1000 STUDENTS AND HIS MADAM CHAIR SAID. THESE ARE COLLEGE AGE STUDENTS WHO HAVE GIVEN UP THEIR SUMMER. THEY ARE WORKING LIKE CRAZY. THEY'RE OUT THERE ON HOT FIELDS. THAT FIELD AT FIVE O'CLOCK WAS 136 DEGREES. SO BY EIGHT O'CLOCK IT WAS A LITTLE COOLER. BUT I WAS GLAD THAT WE WERE IN THE AIR CONDITIONED SPACE. UM BUT THE CORE MEMBERS TALKED ABOUT OUR DIFFERENTIATOR , WHICH WAS THE WAY THAT MCKINNEY AND OUR COMMITTEE EMBRACE THOSE CORE MEMBERS. WE HAD AN AMBASSADOR GO OUT TO EVERY SCHOOL. AS AARON SAID WE HAD GREAT SUPPORT FROM VISIT MCKINNEY TO CREATE A GIFT BAG I HAD WE HAD TWO ON DIRECTORS TELL ME PERSONALLY THAN IN THE 15 OR 20. YEARS SINCE THEY'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN D. C. I THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A COMMUNITY MEMBER COME OUT AND GREET THEM, AND THEY'VE NEVER HAD A COMMUNITY MEMBER PROVIDE THEM WITH A WELCOME GIFT THAT SAYS, WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY. SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE OTHER ASSETS THAT ARE IN OUR AREA, AND WE'VE HEARD PRESENTATIONS THIS MORNING ABOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES WE THINK ABOUT THE FRISCO ASSETS WE THINK ABOUT ALLEN. WE THINK ABOUT PROSPER. THEY'VE GOT GREAT FACILITIES, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE MCKINNEY. THEY DON'T HAVE OUR UNIQUE ABILITY TO EMBRACE PEOPLE . THEY DON'T HAVE OUR DEEP HISTORY FROM MUSIC, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR DIFFERENTIATORS. WE CONTINUE TO ROLL AND GROW THIS EVENT INTO THE FUTURE. OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A MULTI DAY EVENT. WE WANT TO BRING PEOPLE HERE TO MCKINNEY TO EXPERIENCE MCKINNEY TO COME AND DIVE INTO OUR RICH CULTURE. AND, OF COURSE , PARTICIPATE IN THESE MUSIC EVENTS. SO WE'RE DOING DEBRIEFS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE COLLECTING A BUDGET NUMBERS. WE EXPECT TO MAKE A DONATION BACK TO MCKINNEY . I SD OF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND $40,000, AND WE'LL HAVE THOSE NUMBERS WRAPPED UP HERE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME THIS MORNING AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT. ALL ALONG, AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO COMING AND PRESENTING OFFICIALLY TO YOUR BOARD AND MAKING A GRANT REQUEST . WE MISSED THE CYCLE LAST YEAR , BUT IT WILL LOOK, I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO BEING BACK HERE IN FRONT OF YOU. OFFICIALLY FOR GRANT REQUEST FOR 2023 SEASONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THOUGHT I HEARD HIM. DID THEY STAY AT THE SCHOOLS THAT THE STUDENTS THEY DID? THAT'S WHAT I TOLD MY DAUGHTER. SHE'S WHAT THEY TRAVEL

[00:25:06]

ON, COACH BUSSES. UH AND MADAM CHAIR. YOU SAW THE ONE OF THE CORES. VANGUARD TRAVELS WITH TRACTOR 99 TOTAL VEHICLES, TRACTOR TRAILERS AND COACH BUSSES. THEY SLEEP ON GYM FLOORS AND THEN BAND BAND ROOM FLOORS, OR THEY SLEEP IN THOSE BUSSES AS THEY MOVE FROM ONE CITY TO THE NEXT. THEY LEFT HERE TUESDAY NIGHT, HEADING TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA FOR THE NEXT COMPETITION , AND THAT'S AMAZING. SO THANK YOU TO OUR YOU KNOW, IN MY S D FOR OFFERING THAT SUPPORT AGAIN.

WE ARE ONE MCKINNEY AND WE JUST HELP AND DO EVERYTHING AND SUPPORT WHEN AGAIN. I THINK HE WAS YOU THAT TOLD ME THAT AND I WAS LIKE, OH, WOW. MY DAUGHTER, MY OLDEST DAUGHTER. SHE WAS LIKE NOW, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK IT'S GREAT AGAIN. I JUST THINK IT TALKS TO THE COLLABORATIVE THAT WE COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. AND TO DO THAT AND THINK, TELL THE STUDENTS. I MEAN THE ADULTS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT JUST YOUNG STUDENTS. THANK YOU FOR WHAT THEY BROUGHT. TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING ME BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA AGAIN. I WENT TO A HISTORICAL BLACK COLLEGE SO OUR DRUM CORPS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT LITTLE BIT LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM HBCU, BUT I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN THE CULTURE OF OTHER BEING CORPSE AND DRUM CORP LINES AND EVERYTHING. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. YEAH I'LL JUST ECHO THAT, DEAN. THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. I LIKEWISE HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT. UM I MY WIFE, HOWEVER TOTALLY DID. AND SHE KNEW WHAT THIS WAS, AND SHE SHE'S A LITTLE, UM, BAND NERD FROM WAY BACK AND SHE WAS GEEK NG OUT. SHE HAD THE BEST TIME AND WAS ANALYZING ALL THE BANDS. UM BUT I HAD NO CLUE HOW POPULAR THIS WAS. AND I AS I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR 15 MINUTES TRYING TO GET INTO THE STADIUM. I WAS TEXTING DEAN SAYING, MAN, I TOTALLY UNDERESTIMATED THIS. I HAD NO CLUE THAT 5000 PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO BE AT THIS THING.

UM AND SO I WAS EXTREMELY IMPRESSED. THE SHOW WAS AWESOME . YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WE COULD DO WITH A PROMOTIONAL GRANT. YOU SOLD IT OUT? I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN PROMOTE IT BETTER IDEAS AND, UM SO OF COURSE, WE'RE HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT NEXT YEAR, BUT, UM, MAN, YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY DONE A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. THE GOAL OF I CAN RESPOND TO THAT PART. DAVID IS, UM THE GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH DC TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE THE CORES COULD SETTLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THESE KIDS, I WILL ALSO CALL THEM ANGELA ARE GOING TO PERFORM 28 SHOWS BETWEEN JUNE 15TH WHEN THEY HIT THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF PRACTICE AND EARLY AUGUST WHEN THEY HIT THE FINALS IN INDIANAPOLIS, AND IT'S A GRIND AND SO DC I WAS LOOKING FOR A PARTNER AND MCKINNEY REPRESENTS YES, THE FUTURE MODEL FOR HOW DC CAN HAVE THESE CORES TRAVELING. WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A FEW STRATEGIC PARTNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY WHERE THE CORES CAN SET UP CAMP FOR A FEW DAYS WILL BE ABLE TO DO A SECOND EVENT WHERE WE REALLY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW TRUMP TOPS FACILITY. ANDREW AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DOWNTOWN. WE WANT TO PUT ON SOME CLINICS WITH THE D C I PERFORMERS BECAUSE THESE YOU THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE THERE? THESE ARE LIKE THESE ARE FANTASTIC MUSICIANS. AND SO WE REALLY WANT TO CREATE MCKINNEY AS THE THREE DAY STOP FOR THESE CORES AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO REST GIVE THEIR PARENTS A CHANCE TO COME HERE AND SETTLE IN AND EXPERIENCE MCKINNEY AND STAY IN OUR HOTELS AND EAT IN OUR RESTAURANTS. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE THAT IS THE VISION BETWEEN THE THIRD OF THREE ENTITIES MCKINNEY, REALLY FOR MCKINNEY AND MISTY ARE CITIZEN GROUP AND D. C. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. LET US KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT AND YOU KNOW IF YOU CAN KIND OF BRING IN MAYBE AN HBCU FOR ENTERTAINMENT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW YOU JUST A LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT IN THE INTERMISSION IN A MISSION WOULD BE OR EVEN SOME OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BANDS THAT YOU KNOW. SOME OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BANDS ARE BANDS, OF COURSE, BUT WE'VE GOT TO WORK OUR WAY THROUGH SOME THINGS WITH THEM. ASD UM UM, BECAUSE IT'S THEIR THEIR BANDS HAVEN'T FORMED. THIS WAS THE FIRST WEEK THAT THE BANDS ARE BACK TOGETHER. BUT WERE THERE WAS SO MUCH EXCITEMENT COMING OUT OF TUESDAY NIGHT, THE BAND DIRECTORS AND WE ARE ALREADY TALKING. THAT'S AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID, AND WE MY PLEASURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH APPRECIATE. APPRECIATE YOU. DIDN'T YOU HAD COMMENTS. I JUST WANTED THE BAND DID FANTASTIC, BUT EVERYBODY, UH, TOP WAS SAYING WE WANT TO SEE THE EXIT DRUM CORD THEMSELVES LIKE WHEN THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE PAST ONE ANOTHER CAN'T DO A FACE OFF AND JUST DO IT DRUM OFF OF THEIR PASSING ONE ANOTHER. THAT'S THAT'S DAVID. THE GOAL FOR THE EVENT AT TOPS ON MONDAY NIGHT, SO THE NIGHT BEFORE IS TO CREATE A THAT SORT OF CONFLICT

[00:30:04]

IF YOU WILL, AND THERE'S A THING THAT THEY'LL DO CALLED THE STEP OUT WHERE THE DRUM CORPS THE DRUM BATTERY IS WHAT THE DRUMMERS ARE CALLED. THEY'LL STEP OUT LIKE THAT CHALLENGE, YOU KNOW? COME ON.

THEY HAVE POURED THE SLAB FOR THE BREWERY BUILDING. AND FOR, UM PART OF THE FIRE LANES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE THERE EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE PREFABRICATED METAL BUILDING WILL BE DELIVERED AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, ASSEMBLY OF THAT STRUCTURE WILL BEGIN. SO THERE'S A LOT GOING ON ON THE SITE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY, BUT IT'S CRAZY OVER THERE BETWEEN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY PARKING LOT ADJACENT TO TUBS AND THEN THE TUB SITE. IT'S JUST, UM FLURRY OF ACTIVITY. WE'RE DOING OUR NEXT SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING ON THE 16TH OF AUGUST AND WILL ACTUALLY DO THAT ON SITE. UM AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK IT IN TO SEE FIRSTHAND WHAT'S GOING ON. SO LOTS OF GOOD THINGS THERE. SCHEDULED COMPLETION IS. THERE'S STILL LOOKING AT NOVEMBER, UM THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS OF REALLY INTEGRATING ALL OF THE PIECES OF THE SCHEDULE, SO THERE'S THE CONSTRUCTION PIECE. AND THEN THERE ARE THE CONTRACTORS THAT TOUCH USES FOR ACTUAL INSTALLATION OF THE BREWERY EQUIPMENT IN THE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT, SO THEY'VE GOT THEIR THE TIMELINES THAT THEY NEED TO MEET AND GOING THROUGH A PROCESS OF INTEGRATING EVERYTHING AT THIS TIME, BUT THEY'RE STILL LOOKING AND ARE HOPEFUL FOR A NOVEMBER COMPLETION. I'LL MAKE A COUPLE MORE COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT. AND I FEEL TO MENTION DURING MY INITIAL COMMENTS ABOUT FOURTH OF JULY PARADE AND IF ANYONE WAS ABLE TO SEE HUGS, DO THEIR, UM ROCKSTAR WALKED THE RUNWAY. IT WAS PHENOMENAL. IT WAS AMAZING. THEIR TEAM MEMBERS, JUST THE ENERGY THAT THEY HAVE SOME OF THEM. I KNOW THEY ARE READY FOR WALK THE RUNWAY, BUT IT WAS JUST I LOVE THAT. THEY ADDED THAT COMPONENT TO THE END OF THE PARADE AND IT WAS WELL ATTENDED , SO I THINK IT WAS JUST GREAT KUDOS TO HUGS. KUDOS TO ALL OF THE SUPPORTERS IN THE BOUTIQUES

[00:35:02]

THAT ACTUALLY DONATED THE CLOSE TO THE ROCK STARS THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO FASHION FOR US. SO IF YOU MISSED IT, YOU MISSED THE TREE. THEY DID A PHENOMENAL JOB . THANK YOU TO THE HUGS TEAM FOR WHAT? THEY DIDN'T AGAIN CONTINUING TO GIVE THEIR TEAM MEMBERS THE CONFIDENCE TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY ARE, AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL AGAIN. THAT JUST IS ANOTHER TESTAMENT TO WHO WE ARE IN MCKINNEY BECAUSE EVERYBODY MATTERS. EVERYBODY COUNTS AND WE ARE SO SUPPORTIVE. SO BADGES. IT MADE MY HEART JUST REALLY. EXCITED I WAS LIKE, THIS IS AMAZING. AND THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO WALK THE RUNWAY. SOME OF THEM WAS DOING THEY VOGUE AND THEY WAS GETTING IT SO IN THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AS I MENTIONED BEFORE BOARD MEMBER GLUE IS NOT HERE AND HE WANTED TO SHARE. I'M GOING TO SHARE THE LETTER WITH YOU. HE HAS ANNOUNCED TO US HIS RESIGNATION FROM THE D. C AND HE HIS LETTER READS. DEAR CINDY. I'M WRITING TO CONFIRM THAT I AM RESIGNING FROM THE BOARD SEAT AT THE MECHANIC COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION EFFECTIVE TODAY. AS WE DISCUSSED YESTERDAY, THE TIMING REGARDING MY UPCOMING BACK SURGERY AND RECOVERY PERIOD IS SUCH THAT I WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO MISS THE REMAINING BOARD MEETINGS IN MY TERM. I WOULD LIKE MY SEAT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR SOMEONE ELSE. CINDY ANGELA, GEORGE AND PAUL. IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE AND A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL TEAMS. AT THE C. D C. NONPROFITS CITY COUNCIL IN DEPARTMENTS OVER THE YEARS I HAVE APPRECIATED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE WITH YOU ALL AND HOPE TO CONTINUE OUR WORK TOGETHER AND CONTRIBUTE IN THE FUTURE. SINCERELY GLUE AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, RECAST, SERVED ALMOST SEVEN YEARS ON THIS BOARD HIS COMMITMENT, HIS MENTORING.

HIS EXPERTISE HAS BEEN INVALUABLE. HE ALSO SERVES IN MANY OTHER CAPACITIES OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARD. HE'S ALWAYS PRESENT TO THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY. HE HAS JUST BEEN TOTALLY TOTALLY COMMITTED TO THE THINGS THAT WE DO IN THE CITY. OF COURSE, WE PRAY FOR HIS RECOVERY AS HE HAS HIS BACK SURGERY. I KNOW WE WILL SEE HIM AGAIN. AND JUST ASK FOR EACH OF YOU TO KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS AS HE GOES THROUGH RECOVERY, AND I KNOW ONCE WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE HIM ONCE HE HAS FULL RECOVERY, AND WE GIVE HIM THE PROPER SEND OFF . HE DESERVES FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO THIS BOARD. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY I KNOW JACKIE. YOU WORKED WITH HIM THE LONGEST ON THE BOARD. HE LIKE I SAID HE SERVED IN MANY ASPECTS, NOT JUST ON OUR BOARD. I THINK HE WAS ON SEVERAL OTHER BOARDS BECAUSE I KNOW HE ALWAYS HAD TO RECUSE HIMSELF NOW AND THEN, UM, BUT LIKE YOU SAID, ALWAYS PRESENT AND NOT JUST PRESENT IF THERE WERE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AT THE DIFFERENT EVENTS, HE WAS SERVING AS A VOLUNTEER, NOT JUST JOINING THE EVENT, SO HE WILL BE MISSED, BUT HOPEFULLY HE'LL RECOVER AND BE ABLE TO SERVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. I JUST HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL BE VERY INVOLVED BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH A HEART FOR BIKINI AND SUCH AN EYE FOR DETAIL. SO IT REALLY WAS A PLEASURE BECAUSE HE WAS HERE WHEN I CAME ONTO THE BOARD.

UM AND HE HIS, I THINK GUIDANCE FOR ANY NEW NEW ON BOARDING MEMBER WAS INVALUABLE BECAUSE HE YOU COULD ALWAYS SEE ALL THE DETAILS, SO I JUST WISH HE AND HIS FAMILY WELL AS HE GOES THROUGH THIS MEDICAL PERIOD, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL BE BACK SERVING IN SOME PLACE IN MCKINNEY. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU REMEMBER BRADFORD? ABSOLUTELY AS A NEW, UM, COMING IN AS AN ALTERNATE, AND THEN MY FIRST YEAR IS BEING SEATED. HE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, VERY VALUABLE, ALWAYS GAVE GREAT CONTEXT, COMMENTS AND I'M GOING TO MISS HIM. BUT AS YOU SAID, HE WILL BE BACK AND SO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM AND OTHER AREAS AND OUR PRAYERS ARE CERTAINLY WITH RICK. HIS SURGERY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO ADD TO THAT, BUT I AGREE, AND SAME THING. WHEN I CAME ON BOARD WAS REALLY SUPPORTIVE AND HELPFUL AND ALWAYS APPRECIATED HIM. ANYTIME WE WERE GOING INTO SOMETHING, GIVING US CONTEXT ABOUT WELL AS YOU RECALL THREE YEARS AGO, WE DID THIS AND SO I APPRECIATED THAT ESPECIALLY BEING NEW, UM, FIVE YEARS AGO TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT BEING NEW TO THE BOARD, AND SO, UM, HE WAS ALWAYS JUST VERY INSIGHTFUL WITH WITH HIS COMMENTS AND HIS HIS FEEDBACK, AND SO I APPRECIATE THAT ABOUT HIM. AND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAID WE WILL NOT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE HIM. WE KNOW BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS AROUND.

EVERY SHADE. MAYBE KILL ME. YOU KNOW, WE SAID DID TO AGAIN, RICK . I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY WATCHING WE LOVE YOU. WE WILL MISS YOU HERE ON THE DIETS, BUT WE DEFINITELY LOOK FORWARD TO

[President’s Report]

CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOU IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN SAID I WILL GO ON TO AGENDA ITEM

[00:40:04]

22-0673 PRESIDENTS REPORT. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THIS MONTH EVERY MONTH. LINDA PROVIDES A REPORT MARKETING REPORT THAT INCLUDES AS SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATION AND MARKETING IN GENERAL, AND I HOPE YOU'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE REPORT THAT THAT'S INCLUDED WITH THE AGENDA THIS MONTH. IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO SHE'S REALLY REVAMPED THE FORMAT AND I THINK HAS PRESENTED THE INFORMATION AND, UM VERY. MEANINGFUL WAY. THERE ARE NOT ONLY THE STATISTICS THAT HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE MONTHLY REPORTING BUT ALSO SAMPLES OF WHAT HAD BEEN OUR BEST PERFORMING FACEBOOK POST INSTAGRAM POSTS AND SO ON AND STATISTICS THAT SURROUND THOSE, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. I THINK SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THE NEW PRESENTATION IN NEW FORMAT. TOMORROW IS THE DEADLINE FOR THIS SECOND CYCLE OF RETAIL DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS. THOSE ARE MATCHING GRANTS FOR EXTERIOR INFRASTRUCTURE, SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE ONE LAST MENTIONED FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. UH PROVIDED SOMETHING THAT THE UPDATE ON TUBS BUT NEGLECTED TO MENTION THE PROGRESS PHOTOS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA, TRYING TO GET THOSE OUT TO THE BOARD SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE LOOKING ON THE SITE, SO BE SURE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. AT THOSE UM, DURING OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION, THE BOARD INDICATED THAT THERE WAS VERY STRONG, INTERESTING COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING RESOURCES TO OUR PROMOTIONAL GRANT RECIPIENTS TO, UM GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONE THEIR MARKETING, BRANDING SOCIAL MEDIA, DIGITAL MARKETING SKILLS . AND WHILE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON WHAT THAT MAY LOOK LIKE FOR THE COMING FISCAL YEAR, WE DID IDENTIFY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS YEAR. THE DALLAS PUBLIC RELATIONS SOCIETY OF AMERICA DALLAS CHAPTER IS HOSTING A NONPROFIT WORKSHOP ON AUGUST 5TH. AND WE HAVE EXTENDED AN INVITATION TO PROMOTIONAL GRANT RECIPIENTS TO, UM, ATTEND THAT AS GUESTS OF DC AND THERE THEY'LL FOCUS ON, UM BRANDING AND MESSAGING, MEDIA RELATIONS, DIGITAL MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA SO AS A WAY TO GET HAD TO START ON WHAT THAT ACTIVITY MAY LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE, OFFERING THAT OPPORTUNITY NOW AND SO FAR WE HAVE FOUR WHO HAVE SIGNED UP. WE'LL CIRCLE BACK AGAIN AT THE END OF THIS WEEK AND BEGINNING NEXT WEEK TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE INTERESTED. AND THEN THE LAST THING I MENTIONED I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND 10TH.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION FOR BAYLOR, SCOTT AND WHITE MCKINNEY FACILITY LAST WEEK. AND THEY IT WAS REALLY NICE EVENT. THEY SHARED SOME STATISTICS THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD.

OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS THEY HAVE SERVED 621,504 PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL 543,000 PLUS OUTPATIENT REGISTRATIONS, 6 190,094 REGISTRATION, SO IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE THAT THE SERVICE THAT THEY PROVIDED 18,616 BERTHS AT THAT FACILITY SINCE THEY OPENED AND THEY WHEN THEY OPENED, THEY HAD 340 CAREGIVERS ON SITE AND AS OF JULY 15TH. THAT NUMBER WAS 9 87. SO I THINK, IN ADDITION TO THE HEALTHCARE THEY'RE PROVIDING TO THE COMMUNITY, THE JOBS THAT THEY'RE CREATING TO THE COMMUNITY. IT'S PRETTY AMAZING, AND FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT RECALL, CDC FUNDED THE WALKING TRAIL THAT GOES AROUND THE PROPERTY THAT MILE LONG WALKING TRAIL THAT, UM, ULTIMATELY WILL CONNECT INTO THE PARK SYSTEM. I BELIEVE. MR KOWSKI WHEREVER HE IS. AND. I THINK THAT'S IT. I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THAT'S AN AMAZING REPORT, AND I'M SURE EVERY ONE OF US HAVE HAD A HAPPY OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THOSE NUMBERS FOR SOME REASON, FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, BUT THAT'S JUST AMAZING WHAT THAT TYPE OF DATA. SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THOSE UPDATES TO US AT THIS TIME, WE WILL GO INTO REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS AND WE HAVE

[Consider/Discuss/Act on the Ninth Amended and Restated Bylaws of McKinney Community Development Corporation.]

ITEMS 22-0674 BYLAWS AMENDED AMENDMENT FROM OUR OWN MARC HAUSER. SO GOOD TO BE HERE THIS MORNING, MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD PRESIDENT CINDY UM. I GUESS I'M THE DESIGNATED EXPLAINER OF THIS SHOULD NEVER LET A LAWYER DO THAT. BUT YOU DID. UM WE HAVE A CLASS IN LAW SCHOOL CALLED RUN ON SENTENCES, AND SO YOUR BYLAWS AMENDMENT IS A LENGTHY BUT, UH THERE'S A PURPOSE FOR THAT. I WANT TO START FIRST BY THANKING THE BOARD AND CINDY FOR THE

[00:45:06]

PARTNERSHIP THAT THIS PROGRAM IS AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR MANY MONTHS, AND IT HAS BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE AND A LOT OF NUMBER CRUNCHING A LOT OF AH, DISCUSSIONS, BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL AS WELL, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT , I THINK WILL PAY HUGE BENEFITS FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM. WHAT THE BYLAWS AMENDMENT IS, IS AT THE REQUEST OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THEY'RE ASKING AN AMENDMENT WHICH WILL ESSENTIALLY CREATE A PROJECT. AN ANNUAL ONGOING PROJECT. UNDER THE STATUTE SO THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE AH FUNDED AND IT'S, UH, IT'S MEANT TO PROVIDE CONTINUITY AND LONGEVITY FOR THE FOR THIS PROJECT, WHICH WILL BE LONG TERM BECAUSE ROADS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO DO OVERNIGHT AND THERE'LL BE MORE MORE TO BUILD. SO WHAT THE WHAT THE ITEM DOES IS BASICALLY CREATE A BYLAW PARAGRAPH UNDER YOUR FINANCE SECTION OF EXPENDITURES FOR CORPORATE MONEY. UH AND LINDA, IF YOU WANT TO PULL IT UP, YOU CAN, BUT ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WE'RE TAKING IS THE PROGRAM, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE COUNCIL RESOLUTION. WHICH DISCUSSES THE TYPES OF ROADWAYS THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE. THEN IT MARRIES THAT WITH THE GOING TO HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN. A BIT. INTO SECTION FIVE. KEEP GOING DOWN. SECTION SIX ACTUALLY KEEP GOING. OH, ONE MORE LITTLE BIT LITTLE BIT MORE. RIGHT THERE. FELT OVER TWO PAGES. SECTION C. UM. THAT'S KIND OF KEEP GOING DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE RIGHT THERE. IT'S KIND OF OVER TWO. THERE YOU GO. YEAH YEAH, I DID THAT ON PURPOSE. AH. SO YOU HAVE THE STATUTORY, UM AUTHORIZATION AND THEN YOU HAVE THE CITY'S PROGRAM. AND THEN YOU HAVE. THE OPTION, WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL WORKED ON WITH WITH YOUR BOARD AND HOW THOSE FUNDS ARE DETERMINED. SO THOSE THREE CONCEPTS ARE SQUISHED INTO A FAIRLY LONG SENTENCE. ONCE THOSE ARE CONSIDERING HOPEFULLY APPROVED, THEN YOUR BOARD WILL LOOK AT THIS AS A PROJECT AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE WIND. PART OF THAT. BECAUSE ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS IS THAT IN NOVEMBER , MR HOLLOWAY TELLS ME THAT HE WILL HAVE FINAL NUMBERS ON SALES TAX FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, SO THAT BECOMES YOUR BASE YEAR. FOR WHAT SHE WILL BUILD OFF OF IN THE FUTURE. SO IN NOVEMBER MR HOLLY WILL HAVE A NUMBER. AND THEN I THINK WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER. THIS AS A PROJECT PROJECT LIKE YOU NORMALLY DO ON YOUR AGENDA, AND THEN YOU WILL ADOPT THE PROJECT AND THEN ANNUALLY IT WILL COME TO YOU. AS A LIST OR SLATE OF ROADS AND WHAT I EXPLAINED TO THE M E D. C EARLIER THIS WEEK WAS THAT CURRENT PROGRAM WOULD BE TOO HAVE THE C I P EVALUATED IN THE SUMMER AND FALL. THE COUNCIL WOULD THEN GET A LIST OF ROADS SLATE OF ROADS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND THOSE THEN WOULD COME TO YOUR BOARD. AND THE CITY INTO A D. C. TO ESSENTIALLY CERTIFY OR TWO. TECHNOLOGY OR ADOPT OR WHATEVER THE WORD IS. BUT THE PROCESS WILL ALSO INVOLVED. STAFF MEETING WITH CINDY AND MEETING WITH WHOEVER YOU WANT TO PUT ON A COMMITTEE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE ROADS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR ENTITY. THAT WOULD BE USEFUL IN CREATING MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW. I SAY WE CITY CITY HALL DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW THE PROJECTS. YOU'RE WORKING ON THE PEOPLE YOU'RE WORKING WITH. AND SO WE WANT TO BE COLLABORATIVE SO THAT ON A GIVEN YEAR. WE GET THE BEST SET OF ROADS THAT I NEED THE MONEY.

THE SOONEST, SO THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY IT WILL WORK. AND AH! MARKS HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS , MR GRIMES THIS YEAR, BUT I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN KIND OF A LONG TERM THING. THIS KIND OF KICKS IT OFF. NOW HE GETS TO THE FUN PART, WHICH IS FINE. THE ROADS PUT THE MONEY INTO THE ROUTES AND I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION SINCE WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH PARKS, SINCE WE HAVE THE SAME PROCESS WITH PARKS CURRENTLY IF WE APPROVE. THE ANNUAL PROJECT, AND THEN SOMETHING CHANGES. WE BRING IT BACK TO US, SO THAT'S WHAT PARKS DOES. THEY DIDN'T END UP SPENDING THE MONEY ON WHAT THEY SAID SO THEY COME BACK TO US AND SAY, IS IT OKAY IF WE MOVE THIS MANY TO ANOTHER PROJECT AND SAY YES OR NO? ABSOLUTELY. I THINK

[00:50:02]

THAT YOU KNOW THERE COULD BE PERIODIC CHANGES AND QUITE FRANKLY. YOU'RE BORED, OR NBC COULD HAVE ITS OWN ROAD PROJECT THAT WANTS TO BRING TO THE TABLE , SO TO SPEAK. SO YES, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE COLLABORATIVE IN THAT REGARD. AND THEN THERE'S ONE OTHER THING I DIDN'T MENTION WHICH IS NOT ABOUT THIS, BUT CINDY BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION. WHICH IS THE DATE THAT YOU GUYS APPROVE YOUR BUDGET. WHICH IS A HISTORICAL AH! THING THAT CAME FROM SANDY HEART WHERE YOU HAD TO HAVE YOUR BUDGET APPROVED BY THE 25TH OF JULY. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT DAY.

BUT THAT WAS SANDY'S DAY, SO BECAUSE, UH, WE WORK ON MONTHS, WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS BEST TO PUT AT THE END OF JULY. SO WE'VE CHANGED THAT DAY IN YOUR BYLAWS TO JULY, 31ST. JUST SO YOU KNOW.

ALSO MR MOORE, WHOSE REAL GENERAL COUNSEL WHO I CAN'T SIT STEP INTO HIS SHOES, BUT MR MOORE LOOKED ALL THIS OVER, AND HE MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO SOME STATUTORY REFERENCES. BUT HE IS APPROVED AND SUPPORTS VIOLENCE. SO WE JUST NEED A EMOTION AND APPROVAL BY A MAJORITY OF REPORT. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVED THE BYLAWS AS SUBMITTED HERE. HE DISCUSSED SECOND. DAVID KELLEY, SECOND BY CATHERINE MCGILL. PUSHING PASSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ONE THING I'LL JUST SHARE BECAUSE I KNOW THIS FOR THE SEVERAL MONTHS. UH, HAVE MANY MONTHS. IT'S BEEN A VERY ROBUST CONVERSATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY BOARD. THANK YOU TO CITY STAFF. THANK YOU, TOO. UM E T E D. C FOR JUST THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT. I THINK AS CITIZENS WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPERATIVE AND IMPORTANT HAVING OUR ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE THEY'RE TAKING, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WE WANT TO DO FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDS IF WE DON'T HAVE GOOD ROLES THAT WILL ATTRACT BUSINESSES THAT WILL ATTRACT RESIDENTS. TO COME HERE TO DRIVE ON OUR OUR ROADS, AND WE ARE DOING SO MUCH ROBUST CONSTRUCTION HERE IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS IMPERATIVE. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. A LOT OF HOURS HAVE GONE INTO HAVING THESE DISCUSSIONS. AND SO I JUST I THINK IT IS. I WANT THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ONE MCKINNEY AND WE ARE A PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATIVE AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE HAS A SAFE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AND THAT IS TAKING CARE OF. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE TRY TO DO A REACTIVE PERSPECTIVE TO WITHIN BEING PROACTIVE AND HAVING IT TAKEN CARE OF. SO AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO MY BOARD FOR US. COMING TOGETHER AND IN A GREEN HAVE IMPORTANT IT IS TO DO THIS.

THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT. NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS THE PROMOTION OF GRANTS PRESENTED IN JUNE.

MEMBERS OF THE PROMOTIONAL GRANTS SUBCOMMITTEE OR CATHERINE MCGILL, MARY BARNES, BARNES, TILLY AND DAVID KILLING DAVID WOULD PRESENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE. AND WE WILL, UM, WE WILL HAVE HIM RECUSED HIMSELF FOR THE ROTARY PARADE ITEM, AND MARY WILL MAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS SO EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE MAYBE THAT THE ATTACHMENT OF THE BREAKDOWN WHAT WAS THE ASK AND WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION WAS. I JUST KIND OF WANT TO REITERATE WE HAD A REQUEST OF ABOUT 102 102 $525,000. AND I THINK WE HAD AVAILABLE ABOUT ONE. OH, ONE AT THE TIME, AND WE CAME IN WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE AT ABOUT 100,977 DAVID. YEAH THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIRWOMAN. SO LET ME EXPLAIN.

UM HOW WE DID THIS. UM FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE, UM THE EVENTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO PRESENTED THESE EVENTS AND REQUESTS REQUESTED THESE GRANTS. I THINK THE SUBCOMMITTEE AGREED THAT THESE WERE STRONGER REQUESTS THAN WE HAVE SEEN. UM EVER AND THE PRESENTATIONS WERE VERY GOOD, AND I THINK THAT THEY WERE VERY THOUGHTFUL IN THE REQUESTS THAT WERE MADE PARTICULARLY WANT TO THANK, UM SPG FOR RE APPROACHING HOW THEY MADE THE REQUEST. AND I THINK THAT WE SAW, UM WE SAW VERY STRONG REQUEST THAT HAVE, UM RESPONDED TO THE STATEMENTS AND DIRECTION THAT WE'VE GIVEN IN THE PAST. UM AND SO WHAT? WHAT WE SAW, AS YOU SAID, IS

[00:55:06]

THAT WE HAD REQUESTS OF $102,525 FOR A TOTAL AVAILABLE AMOUNT OF $101,000 BEING EXTREMELY CLOSE.

THAT'S ABOUT 1.5. UM WE THOUGHT THAT EVERYONE WAS EQUALLY STRONG . WE DIDN'T SEE A NEED TO ADJUST THINGS BETWEEN THE BETWEEN THEIR GRANTS. SO WHAT WE DID IS WE JUST TOOK 1.5% OFF THE TOP OF EVERYONE, AND THAT'S WHAT WILL BE DOING SO I'LL GO THROUGH ONE BY ONE. AND THE AMOUNTS ARE A LITTLE WEIRD BECAUSE IT'S 1.5% OFF OF YOUR REQUEST AND EACH ITEM AND THEN WE CAN ITEM

IT IS NO SECRET THAT YOUTH SPORTS IN GENERAL BUT VOLLEYBALL AND SPECIFICALLY IS UNDERSERVED, PARTICULARLY IN MCKINNEY, AND WE SELL THAT OPPORTUNITY SEVEN YEARS AGO, AND WE MADE A BET ON THIS GEOGRAPHY AND THAT BET HAS PAID OFF. BUT THAT BET HAS ALSO TURNED INTO A PROBLEM WHICH IS AVAILABLE SPACE, WHICH IS THE REASON FOR OUR EXPANSION. WE'RE TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES, BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT TO TODAY IS EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE DO IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT. I THINK PREVIOUSLY AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WHETHER IT'S SUMMER CAMPS, CLINICS, PRIVATE LESSONS. WE HAVE A LITTLE ACE ACADEMY, WHICH IS AGES 6 TO 10. EVERYTHING IS MARKETED TO THE PUBLIC AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IT IS TRUE THAT ONCE A TEAM IS MADE, TRYOUTS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ANNUALLY ONCE A TEAM HAS MADE, THAT TEAM IS SOLID AND PRIVATE FOR THE NINE MONTHS FOLLOWING SO THAT THEY CAN COMPETE LOCALLY. REGIONALLY AND NATIONALLY. UM TWO WEEKS AGO, WE HAD OUR ANNUAL TRIALS WE HAD 750 GIRLS SHOW UP FOR 300 SPOTS. THAT'S 450 GIRLS. WE HAD TO SAY NO TO IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE EXPANSION. WE DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT ANYMORE. NO FUN BEING THERE, TELLING A GIRL WHO'S CRYING THAT SHE HASN'T HAD A PLACE. UM WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL THINGS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ADULT PROGRAMMING. ANY ADULT CAN SHOW UP ON A SUNDAY EVENING AND PAID $5 TO JOIN THE COURTS. HOW WE DO PHYSICAL TRAINING. WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO TURN THIS FACILITY ON DURING SCHOOL HOURS, WHICH IS SENIOR FITNESS AND PICKLEBALL, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A NEW, POPULAR SPORT RISING. WE WANT TO BE A HOME TO THAT, BUT EVERYTHING WE DO AND I'LL JUST SAY IT AGAIN. IT IS OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. UM WE DID HAVE TRYOUTS. JUST AFTER OUR NATIONAL TOURNAMENT, AND I'LL PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACK A LITTLE BIT. WE SENT EIGHT TEAMS TO NATIONALS THIS YEAR. YOU HAVE TO QUALIFY FOR THIS. IT'S A HUGE HONOR TO MAKE THE NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AND OUR 13 YEAR OLDS BROUGHT THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HOME TO MCKINNEY. SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. AND IT KIND OF SHOWS NOT JUST THE TALENT IN THIS AREA, BUT THE SUCCESS AND GROWTH OF THE SPORT IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE EXPANSION. AS YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING. THAT IS THE NEW THAT IS THE NEW EXPANSION. THE EXISTING BUILDING RESIDES RIGHT NEXT TO IT VERY PROUD OF THIS. WE'VE STRUGGLED. A LITTLE BIT WITH SOME SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS, BUT ARE NOW WELL UNDERWAY. I KNOW THAT THIS BOARD THIS GROUP IS NOT SUPER FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC , UH, SPECIFICS. ECONOMIC IMPACT , I SHOULD SAY, BUT I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND. I HEAR A LOT OF TALK IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE D TWO NATIONAL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT THAT GAME HAS ON THIS COMMUNITY THIS PAST YEAR AND IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

WE HAVE DONE APPROXIMATELY 10 TOURNAMENTS DURING THE YEAR. AND IF YOU EXTRAPOLATE THE DATA FROM FROM FAMILIES THAT TRAVEL FROM WICHITA FALLS, WEST FORT WORTH, EAST TEXAS AND EVEN AS FAR SOUTH AS AUSTIN, HOUSTON, OUR ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT FOR THAT SINGLE GAME THAT OCCURS EACH YEAR. NEXT YEAR WENT DURING THE EXPANSION. WE THINK WE CAN DO OVER 20 TOURNAMENTS, SO WE WILL DOUBLE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT. EACH YEAR, ALL WHILE NOT USING ANY CITY RESOURCES WITH LIKE POLICE AND FIRE. WE HAVE ALREADY KICKED OFF OUR PROJECT WE EXPECT TO BE IN HOPEFULLY, BY EARLY SUMMER AGAIN. WE ARE DEALING WITH THE BLACK CHAIN PROBLEMS AND TIMELINES WITH SUBCONTRACTORS, BUT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT GETTING INTO OUR NEW SPACE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW AND I'LL BE REAL QUICK HERE. WE HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED TO $7 MILLION EXPANSION PROJECT . WE ARE DOING THIS OURSELVES. WE'RE NOT RECEIVING ANY GRANTS ANY FUNDS. ANY INCENTIVES THIS WE BELIEVE IT'S A IT'S AH INVESTMENT THAT WE AS THE OWNERSHIP NEED TO MAKE IN THE GROWTH OF OUR FACILITY. BUT AS WE GET TO THAT WE DO HAVE FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP WITH, UM, COURTS BLEACHERS, OBVIOUSLY CRUCIAL TO OUR OPENING UP A FITNESS ROOM IS SOMETHING WE WOULD LIKE TO, UM INCUR AS WELL AND OUR SECURITY SYSTEM. WE WANT THE SAFEST FACILITY AROUND. EXACTLY FIVE MINUTES. AND WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. UM ONE QUESTION. I HAVEN'T YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH YOU AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, HAVING THIS AND I THINK YOU POINTED IN ONE OF YOUR SLIDES OF THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. ALL THOSE ITEMS AT A BE CHARGED A FREE CHALK FREE ACCESSIBILITY. SURE SO THE NONE OF THEM ARE FREE. PROBABLY THE ENTRY LEVEL WOULD BE OUR ADULT LEAGUES, WHICH IS $5. WE TYPICALLY HAVE CAMPS AND CLINICS, WHICH RANGE IN THE 20

[01:15:06]

TO $50 RANGE, DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH TIME YOU MAY HAVE A CLINIC. THAT'S A THREE DAY CLINIC.

THAT'S $20. YOU MAY HAVE A SIX WEEK CAMP. THAT'S $50. BUT NOTHING IS FREE, BUT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR COURT RENTAL AS WELL AS COACH FEES. DO YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITIES OF LIKE, AND I KNOW AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO OPERATE A BUSINESS. SO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOME FAMILIES THAT MAY FIND FINANCIALLY NOT BE ABLE OR THEIR SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES TO ASSIST THOSE FAMILIES THAT YOU KNOW. WE ALWAYS SEE. THOSE YOUNG KIDS THAT HAVE THE TALENT, BUT THEIR FAMILY HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. UM DOES DO YOUR WORK INDIVIDUALLY. CASE BY CASE SITUATION IF YOU RUN INTO THAT BEHIND, YOU KNOW, SITUATIONS TO ASSIST. YES MA'AM. GREAT QUESTIONS. SO WE'VE DONE THAT ANNUALLY. UM I WILL TELL YOU. HISTORICALLY IT HASN'T BEEN VERY FAMILIAR. VERY FORMAL. WE FORMALIZE THAT THIS YEAR WITH AN INDEPENDENT BOARD THAT IS NON OWNERSHIP RELATED, NON MANAGEMENT RELATED INDEPENDENT BOARD OF FAMILIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE CLUB THAT THERE IS A PROCESS AND APPLICATION. WE DO ASK FOR SOME FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FAMILY ASKING FOR CREDIT. AND EVERY YEAR WE HAVE OFFERED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUE STREAM. AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WE ARE WE ARE LAUNCHING A PROGRAM CALLED THE ART FOUNDATION, WHICH WILL NOT HELP FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO, UM ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE FOR THINGS OUTSIDE OF OUR ORGANIZATION. IF YOU HAD TO PUT A ESTIMATE, DOLLAR AMOUNT OF MAYBE AN AVERAGE OVER THE FIVE YEARS $75,000 A YEAR. APPROXIMATELY WHAT WE'VE WHAT WE'VE GRANTED BACK, OKAY? WHAT OTHER SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF, OR DOES OUR TO DO FOR THE COMMUNITY? SO EVERY EVERY THINK OF OUR ORGANIZATION , OUR FAMILIES AS SUBCOMMITTEES . IF YOU WILL, THE WAY YOU SPEAK EVERY EVERY VARIOUS SUBCOMMITTEE OR DEPARTMENT HAS THEIR OWN COACH, THEIR OWN LEADER, THEIR OWN ABILITY TO DO PHILANTHROPY IN THE COMMUNITY, AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAVE A PROJECT, USUALLY TO JUST EITHER HELP OR TO HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR SOME OF THEIR TRAVEL EXPENSES AS SOME OF THEM TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY. SO WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SENIOR FACILITIES, IS IT SOMETHING OTHER THAN JUST PICKLEBALL? RIGHT NOW? WE OFFER UM YOU KNOW, THINK OF A VERY LARGE GYM WITH LOTS OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO IN THE GYM. WE HAVE A TRAINING AREA RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS 2500 SQUARE FEET WERE RAISING THAT TO 10,000 SQUARE FEET WILL HAVE A BASKETBALL COURT THERE. WEIGHTLIFTING TRAINING, SO IT'S ALL OF THE ABOVE THAT YOU WOULD EXPERIENCE ANY NORMAL GYM ATMOSPHERE. DO YOU DO HAVE SENIORS UTILIZING THAT NOW? OR IS THIS JUST A GOAL IS A GOAL AS WE EXPAND. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE DO OUTSIDE OF VOLLEYBALL. UM WE ALSO ALLOW SCHOOLS THAT DON'T HAVE FACILITIES DO UTILIZE OUR FACILITIES GROUPS THAT DON'T HAVE THOSE TYPES OF FACILITY HOMESCHOOL TYPE SCENARIOS WE HAVE STARTED TO EXPLORE WITH THAT. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO THE SENIOR AND PICKLEBALL YET BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE SPACE. HOPEFULLY NOT TRUE A YEAR AND ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS WHOLE. THINGS. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS WITH OUR OLDEST SO UM UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THIS. TYPE OF GROWTH AND FACILITY. I JUST WONDERED, AND SO. YOU SEE YOURSELF LIKE MARKETING AT SOME POINT TO SENIORS THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE INTO THE PICKLEBALL GROUPS AND WE'VE HAD SOME ORGANISMS. WE HAVE SOME CONVERSATION WITH SOME ORGANIZATIONS. AT THIS TIME. MY MOM WAS A SENIOR HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND I AM WELL AWARE OF HOW NEEDED THAT TYPE OF FACILITY IS THERE IS A FROM EAST TEXAS, A SMALL TOWN THAT HAS A FACILITY LIKE THIS SPECIFICALLY FOR SENIORS. I SEE HOW WELL THEY HAVE DONE AN ENTREPRENEUR. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO ADD NEW THINGS. SOME PEOPLE WOULD CALL AN ENTREPRENEUR, A DEBT COLLECTOR, BECAUSE I JUST COLLECT DEBT FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS AND ASSOCIATED WITH THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. MAY I ASK A FEW QUESTIONS? UM HOW MANY TOTAL GIRLS HOW MANY TOTAL STUDENTS ON A PRIVATE TEAM? OR ON ALL OF YOUR TEAM'S ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 13. HOW OVERALL FOR ALL OF YOUR ALL ALL THE GIRLS IN YOUR PROGRAM LAST YEAR, PART NUMBER THAT ARE PHYSICALLY ON A TEAM 353 150,000 GIRLS WHO COME IN THE FACILITY AND CURRENT IN THE CURRENT FACILITY. CORRECT YES, MA'AM. AND WHAT IS THE COST OF BEING ON THE TEAM PER GIRL? DEPENDING UPON WHAT TEAM YOU'RE ON. HOW MUCH TRAVEL YOU DO? HOW MANY TOURNAMENTS YOU PLAY IN? IT RANGES ANYWHERE FROM $1500 TO $6000 A YEAR. OKAY. MINIMUM OF $1500 TO BE ON A TEAM AND MAXIMUM 6000. OKAY? UM. YOU SAID A MOMENT AGO THAT YOU AREN'T GETTING ANY OTHER INCENTIVES FOR

[01:20:12]

THIS PROJECT, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT, YOU BUT THIS FACILITY. TELL ME HAS E D C SUPPORTED THIS ? CDC SUPPORTS OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED IN, RIGHT? I JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY CONNECTION HERE BETWEEN THIS AND IN THE E. D. C. SO WHEN WE MOVED INTO THIS BILL LONGER ANSWER THAN YOU PROBABLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FAST ANSWER IS WHEN WE MOVED INTO THIS BUILDING IN 2016 . WE BOUGHT A BUILDING IN DISTRESS, AND WE BOUGHT IT FOR VOLLEYBALL. WE PUT A FIREWALL DOWN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND WE RAN VOLLEYBALL. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND WE WORKED WITH THE TO DEVELOP A MULTI TENANT OFFICE STRATEGY THAT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL AND IS SOLD OUT TO THIS DAY, COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM VOLLEYBALL AND COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THIS GROUP THAT I'M SPEAKING WITH TODAY. AND YOU SAID THAT YOU ESSENTIALLY GIVE $75,000 OF FREE VOLLEYBALL. TWO.

JUST STUDENTS IS THAT I WOULD SAY THE NUMBER IS A LOT LARGER WHEN YOU INCLUDE CAMPS AND CLINICS THAT ARE JUST FREE FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE AND CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS, BUT I WOULD TELL YOU THE FORMAL CLUB APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THAT'S THAT'S A DISCOUNT OFF OF CLUB DUES. DO YOU FORESEE? UM. WITH THE EXPANSION. POTENTIALLY ADDING POTENTIALLY MORE TEAMS. AND I KNOW YOU'VE SAID YOUR LOOKING AT HAVING THE BOARD OUTSIDE OF YOUR YOUR OPERATIONS TEAM. DO YOU HAVE A POINT FIGURE ? HOW MUCH WOULD THAT POTENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP INCREASE IF YOU'RE GONNA EXPAND, INCREASE YOUR. MEMBERSHIP OR STUDENT INVOLVEMENT. ONE WOULD ASSUME YOU WOULD INCREASE BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY AND I WOULD HAVE. YOU KNOW THE COURTS WILL DOUBLE IN SIZE. WHAT WE CAN DO WILL DOUBLE IN SIZE A BIG COMPONENT OF OUR AVAILABILITY, AND IT'S HARD TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION WITHOUT BIG SPREADSHEET . BUT A BIG COMPONENT OF THAT ANSWER IS HOW MANY TOURNAMENTS CAN WE BRING TO THE CITY? IF WE CAN GO FROM 10 TO 25 TOURNAMENTS? THERE'S A LOT MORE CAPACITY FOR PROFIT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE EXPENSIVE PRICE OF A CLUB, UH, FAMILY'S COMMITMENT TO A TEAM IS A COMPONENT OF HOW MANY TOURNAMENTS ARE GOING TO BE IN HOW MUCH YOU'RE PAYING THE COACH . HOW MUCH COURT SPACE FOR YOU GOING TO RENT AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO TRAVEL OR NOT, THERE'S NOT A BIG PROFIT NUMBER. THE PROFIT COMES FROM TOURNAMENTS FROM PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WHO VISIT AND VIEW AND WATCH THESE TOURNAMENTS. THE MORE PROFIT YOU HAVE, THE MORE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE. SO WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU EXPAND THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PLAYERS, PLUS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TOURNAMENTS REALLY GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE YOU COULD GET TOO BIG OR THEIR ORGANIZATIONS WE'VE LEARNED IN OUR GEOGRAPHY HAVE DONE THAT, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BECOME THAT. UM WE WANT TO KEEP THE COMPETITION HIGH, BUT WE WANT ALL THAT WANT TO BE INVOLVED TO BE INVOLVED. WE ALSO HAVE THOUGHTS THAT WE WANT TO HAVE A METRO LEAGUE SO SIMILAR TO YOUR PSAS AND Y M C. A A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE IN MCKINNEY DON'T GET TO USE THE PSA IN MCKINNEY. THEY HAVE TO DRIVE DOWN TO PLANO BECAUSE THE PSA IN MCKINNEY IS FOR PROSPER AND SELENA. WE WANT TO BE THAT HOME FOR FAMILIES IN OUR AREA. WITH MORE COURTS. WE CAN DO THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON I'M GOING TO EXAGGERATE FOR A MINUTE. BUT THERE'S NO REASON THAT THAT FACILITY COULDN'T BE OPEN TO A TERM IN EVERY WEEKEND OF THE YEAR. NOT GONNA HAPPEN, BUT BUT THERE'S NO REASON IT COULDN'T.

SO WHAT? MAYBE A COMPETITIVE TOURNAMENT WEEKEND WHERE YOU SEE 1500 PEOPLE IN THE GYM OR 3000.

ONCE WE DOUBLE, YOU MAY HAVE A MORE OF A METRO LEAGUE LIKE A P S A WHERE YOU ONLY SEEK 300. BUT YOU'RE STILL DOING A TOURNAMENT . THE CLUB, THE ORGANIZATION IS STILL BRINGING IN REVENUE TO BE ABLE TO PASS ON FOR OTHER THINGS. DO YOU OFFER ANY SPECIAL NEEDS TEAMS? UM, SO WE DO NOT.

BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT. I HAVE A SPECIAL NEWS NIECE. I DON'T WANT TO TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT. BUT WE ARE INTERESTED IN GOING THAT DIRECTION. YES. UM ANYONE HAVE ANY. COLLABORATE WITH HUGS AND SEE IF ANY OF YOU THINK THAT'D BE FANTASTIC, LIKE TO BE ON A TEAM. OKAY? THANK YOU VERY MUCH . THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. UM. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR IF I CAN GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? WE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND THE MOTION. BY UM MAYOR SECOND BY DEBORAH. MOTION PASSES PUBLIC HEARING HAS

BEEN CLOSED. NEXT ITEM, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER AND DISCUSS ACT ON PUBLIC PROJECT GRANT APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED BY THE HERITAGE GUILD OF COUNT COUNTY ITEM 22-12 IN THE AMOUNT OF $73,765. TO FUND RENOVATIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS TO THE BUILDINGS LOCATED IN THE CHESTNUT SQUARE, INCLUDING RESTROOMS, KITCHEN LANDSCAPING AT THE BEVEL HOUSE GROUP SUITE AT CHAPEL IN DECK REPLACEMENT IN FRONT OFFICE RESTORATION AT THE VISITOR CENTER AMOUNT REQUESTED REPRESENTS 95% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST, AND WE HAVE JAMIE HERE TO PRESENT. GOOD MORNING, JAMIE PEDIGO HERITAGE GUILD OF CALLING COUNTY LIKE HABITAT A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND MANY PEOPLE BEFORE US. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PROJECT AND WE ARE NOW OUT OF MONEY. SO WE ARE HERE ASKING FOR SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR A PROJECT THAT'S ALREADY IN PROGRESS. THE NEED FOR ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR WEDDING FACILITY. WHAT THAT MEANS TO CHESTNUT SQUARE 40% OF OUR BUDGET REVENUES COME FROM WEDDING AND EVENT RENTALS. UM, THEY ALSO SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY WITH HOTEL STAYS AND FLOORS AND CATERING AND THAT KIND OF THING, THE BEVEL HOUSE EXPANSION FUNDED BY A GRANT IN 2021. UM HAS BEEN DELAYED TWICE TO HELP MITIGATE THE RISING COST OF CONSTRUCTION. AND SO UNFORTUNATELY, 12 WEEKS OF REVENUE HAVE BEEN OFF THE TABLE FOR US. BECAUSE OF THOSE DELAYS . CURRENTLY WE ARE $29,000 OVER BUDGET AND BUT WE COULDN'T DELAY THE PROJECT ANY LONGER. THE BID FOR THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WAS 1 37 5. THE AWARD WAS 100 AND 25,000. BUT THE COST WHERE WE ARE NOW FOR THE EXPANSION ALONE OF THE BEVEL HOUSE, NOT INCLUDING THE CHAPEL, THE JACK THE PARKING RESTORATION IS AT $141,000. SO WE ARE $34,000 OVER BUDGET. THE LARGEST COST OVERRUN HAS BEEN LUMBER. ORIGINAL BUDGET WAS $14,000 HAS GROWN TO $36,000 , AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN PURCHASED THAT EXTERIOR SIDING YET ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT BETWEEN 2011 AND 2019 M. C. D. C HAS PARTNERED WITH US TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $100,000 A YEAR. AND UM, BUT IN 2019 TO 2021, WE HAVE REDUCED THAT AMOUNT OF JUST UNDER $100,000. SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND WHAT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR DIVERSITY AND OUR FUNDING POOL.

HERE'S THE PROGRESS TO DATE WE HAVE OUT OF THE 400 SQUARE FEET TO THE EAST SIDE. AS YOU CAN TELL, THIS IS THE JACK AND I THINK MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE BUILDING. UM SOUTH AND EAST CORNER IS THE SOUTH SIDE THAT FACES BEBO STREET. AND THEN THAT'S OUR PARKING AREA THAT GOES TO OUR OFFICES AND THEN INTERIOR STRUCTURE IS DRIED IN. NOW WE'RE GONNA GET OUR ROOF SHINGLES THIS WEEK. WE HOPE THE WINDOWS WHICH WERE ORDERED IN MARCH ARE STILL NOT HERE. AND SO DID YOU ARE DRY IN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN TEMPORARY WINDOWS ANOTHER COST. WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE. THIS REQUEST IS FOR $73,675. IT IS 95% OF WHAT WE THINK WILL BE THE COST OF THE PROJECT. UM, THE FUNDING WILL FINISH UP ITEMS FROM THE FIRST REQUEST. 88 COMPLIANT BATHROOM IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CHAPEL RESTROOM. THE GRIM SPACE THE RESTORATION OF OUR OFFICES AND THEN THIS FUNDING WILL ALSO ALLOWED TO REPLACE ALL THE AGING KITCHEN APPLIANCES. WE DO NOT HAVE A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, BUT WE DO USE HIGH LEVEL HIGH GRADE. UH RESIDENTIAL APPLIANCES. WE ALSO WANT TO PAINT THE ENTIRE, UM STRUCTURE, NOT JUST THE ADDITIONS, SO THAT ALL LOOKS THE SAME. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO ASKING TO REPLACE THE H V. A C SYSTEM IN THE DELANEY COTTAGE, WHICH HAS BEEN WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING FOR A YEAR. AH WE RE RAISED $7500 ON OUR OWN FOR NEW FURNISHINGS, AND WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. HERE'S OUR PROJECT BUDGET AS YOU CAN SEE, 73,675. THE $4500 WILL COME FROM THAT DECK DEMO IN THE PARKING LOT RESTORATION, WHICH WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN DO OURSELVES. AH THESE ARE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE LAST YEAR THAT WE HAVE FUNDED WITHOUT DECENT. SEE FUNDING. SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT WE ARE DRAWING FROM LOTS OF POOLS. WE HAVE SUPPORT FROM OTHER PEOPLE. SOME RELIEF FOUNDATION, WHICH ARE NOT FUNDED ANYTHING AT THAT SQUARE IN 20 YEARS BACK, HELPING US ON

[01:30:03]

A REGULAR BASIS, SO WE'RE VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. NOW WE HAVE SOME PROJECTS COMING UP THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OUT TO OTHER FUNDERS FOR THE TEXAS HISTORIC COMMISSION WAS HERE. I THINK LOTS OF YOU WERE HERE WHEN THEY WERE HERE, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO FUND SOME THINGS THAT CHAT THAT SQUARE. SO WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE A FIREPLACE IN THE FERRIS HOUSE, WHICH WAS DEMOLISHED WHEN THEY MOVED IT FROM TENNESSEE STREET. AND WE'RE SUPER EXCITED TO DO THAT, AND OTHER BRICK WAS DONATED FROM THE DOW BUILDING THAT YOU WILL HELP RESTORE DOWNTOWN AND SO WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE BRICK FOR THE PROJECT, AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER PROJECTS. THEY'RE LISTED THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO THIS COMING YEAR. AND WITH THAT I BROUGHT TWO BOARD MEMBERS FOR REINFORCING REIMBURSEMENTS. SORRY REINFORCEMENTS. I'M SO GLAD THEY'RE HERE. IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY HARD QUESTIONS, RIGHT? THEY'RE THE ONES. NO QUESTION. I LOVE THAT MEANS I DIDN'T TALK SO FAST THAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ME. THANK YOU, JANE. THANK YOU.

Amount Requested Represents 89% of Total Project Cost.]

6888. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERING DISCUSS ACT ON THE PROJECT GRANT APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED BY MCKINNEY MAIN STREET 22-14 IN THE AMOUNT OF $38,200 FOR THE DOWNTOWN LIGHTING, IMPROVEMENT AND SPEAKER UPDATES AMOUNT REQUESTED REPRESENTS 89% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST, AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED BY ANDREW. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR MADAM PRESIDENT M C D. C BOARD, UM YOU CAN GO AHEAD . I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MCKINNEY MAIN STREET TO REQUEST KEY LIGHT AND SOUND INVESTMENTS INTO THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. AROUND TEXAS AND BEYOND.

HISTORIC COURTHOUSES ARE THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL CENTERPIECES OF THEIR DOWNTOWNS . MCKINNEY'S HISTORIC COURTHOUSE RENOVATION SPARKED THE REVIVAL OF DOWNTOWN INTO A PREMIER DESTINATION. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE THAT STORY. LIGHT HAS A PROFOUND ABILITY TO SHAPE HOW WE INTERACT WITH SPACE. WE SEEK TO BUILD ON PAST PROJECTS THAT SUPPORT MULTIPLE LIGHTING ENHANCEMENTS THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN. IF WE SEEK TO CREATE INVITING PUBLIC SPACES , GOOD LIGHTING DESIGN IS PARAMOUNT. THESE EMBRACE PROJECTS HAVE TRANSFORMED DOWNTOWN, HOWEVER, ARGUABLY OUR GREATEST LANDMARK AND ICON IS NOT LIT UP WELL AT NIGHT. HERE ARE PROJECT GOALS. WE COULDN'T IMAGINE THE SQUARE WITHOUT OUR CENTER LANDMARK. BUT THE ABSENCE OF A COHESIVE LIGHTING PLAN IS START. PAST LIGHTING STUDIES HAVE QUANTIFIED WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW. THE CENTER COURT AROUND THE COURTHOUSE IS VERY DARK, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER HISTORIC DOWNTOWNS. WE'RE ASKING FOR $38,000 TO INVEST IN THE UP LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS AROUND THE HISTORIC COURTHOUSE.

WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE THE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE IN DOWNTOWN VITALLY IMPORTANT TO AN EVER COMPETITIVE DFW MARKET. TO SHINE A LIGHT ON OUR ARGUABLY OUR MOST ICONIC LANDMARK YEAR ROUND, NO MATTER WHAT THE SEASON. THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE INCREASED SAFETY HIGHLIGHT HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND PROVIDE FUTURE SAVINGS FOR MCKINNEY MAIN STREET. IN ADDITION TO THE UP LIGHTING FOR THE BUILDING AND TREES. WE'RE ALSO REQUESTING ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS EXTENDING THE SPEAKER SYSTEM TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL GROWTH IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. LIGHT AND SOUND ARE CENTRAL TO HOW WE EXPERIENCE PUBLIC PLACES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. SO I THINK WE ALSO HAVE ONE SLIDE HERE JUST TO SHOW KIND OF THE OVERALL BUDGET FOR THE PROJECT. IT'S A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD REQUEST, BUT WE ANTICIPATE IT'S GOING TO HAVE A REAL IMPACT IN DOWNTOWN. ANY QUESTIONS? SO THE WIRELESS SPEAKERS THAT'S PART OF THE PROJECT FROM A FEW YEARS AGO . ABSOLUTELY WHERE WERE THESE? WHERE WILL THE FOUR GO AND WHERE THE NEW ONES SO WE HAD ADDITIONAL WITH THE LIGHT UP LOUISIANA PROJECT THERE WAS THERE WAS A COUPLE THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS DAMAGED. UM, AND THEN

[01:35:05]

THERE WAS ALSO, UH, AS WE'VE EXPANDED OUR FOOTPRINT, THERE WERE AREAS THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT. BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING ORIGINALLY TO GO DOWN THIS LENGTH AND OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S BEEN MANY YEARS NOW. WE'VE SEEN ADDITIONAL, UM, BUSINESSES COMING IN A DIFFERENT LEGS THAT HAVE REQUESTED ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS AS WELL. I WILL JUST SAY THAT, UM IT'S SO SUBTLE, SOMETIMES THE MUSIC BUT YOU'RE WALKING AROUND IN YOUR LIKE, AND IT'S JUST IT'S SO NICE AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE IT IS SO SUBTLE, BUT YOU'RE WALKING AROUND, AND IT JUST KIND OF CREATES THIS ENVIRONMENT THAT I DON'T THINK YOU REALLY PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO UNTIL YOU PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND HERE IT SO I REALLY ENJOYED THAT IN THE DOWNTOWN. YOU'RE RIGHT ON POINT THERE. WHAT I GET IS I GET A CALL. IF THERE'S EVER ANY PROBLEMS, LIKE WITH THE SOUND IF IT DIDN'T TURN ON AT THE RIGHT TIME, GET A PHONE CALL AND SAY, HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON? IT'S FEELS A LITTLE WEIRD DOWNTOWN, AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THAT THAT SOUND AND THE MUSIC DO KIND OF CALM YOU THEY GIVE YOU THAT, PHIL FULLNESS OF SPACE THAT IS IMPORTANT. SO. AND THIS MAY NOT BE RELEVANT TO THE SQUARE LIGHTING. BUT WHAT SORT OF CONSIDERATIONS ARE WITH THE UPGRADES TO THE SILO PROJECT FOR LIGHTING? IS THAT PART OF THE PLAN OR IS THAT A WHOLE SEPARATE? UH YES, SO THAT WOULD BE FUNDED THROUGH THE CITY. SO WITH THE SILO PROJECT THAT'S MULTIPLE CITY SOURCES THAT HAVE NOT NECESSARILY TO REMAIN STREET ON THAT. ANY OTHER. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS ON I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SOME MOVED DEBORAH. 2ND 2ND DAVID RACHET. CHURCH. NO OKAY. YES YOU SAY PRESENTATION. IT WAS A STEP NICE STEPS ABOVE. WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST JOB. YEAH THEATRICAL MOVING EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE. IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE, GEORGE? THEY BRING THAT EVERY TIME EVERY TIME, THOUGH. NO, NO, THE THIS IS STANDARD FOR THIS IS STANDARD FOR IMPACT. THEY ALWAYS BRING THE MUSIC. THEY ALWAYS BRING THEIR ABSOLUTE A GAME IN PRESENTATION, AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB. I'M GLAD YOU GOT TO WITNESS IT. YES LIKE NICE, MORE LIKE WAYS MUSIC. THANK YOU, MAYOR. BECAUSE I WAS LISTENING. I WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW IF I WANT TO GET IN THE MOOD OR KIND OF LIKE DOING THIS IS THAT MESSAGE BEHIND THE MESSAGE? THAT KIND OF CALMS YOU DOWN SUBLIMINAL? YES THANK YOU. USUALLY LIKE LIKE A LOT LOUDER AND IN YOUR FACE THIS I LIKE THE SUBTLE TOUCH. IT WAS THE MOST. I LOVE THE WORD EMOTIONALLY MOVING. I LOVE IT. WHOEVER IS COMING UP NEXT.

THE EXHIBIT FEATURES A CENTER DISPLAY THAT IS IN TWO PIECES ON CASTORS WITH A CLEVERLY HIDDEN SEEM THAT SEPARATE AND ROLL OUT OF THE WAY YOU CAN SEE IT PUSHED TO THE BACK HALF OF IT, AND THEN THE OTHER HALF GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. THIS ALLOWS US TO HAVE LARGE EVENTS IN OUR GALLERY SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE COMMUNITY. IT HAS. THE CENTER HAS TWO FLAT SCREEN SMART MONITORS AND ILLUMINATED PANELS , AND IT'S VERY ECONOMICALLY DONE. WHAT YOU'RE NOT SEEING ARE THE ARE THE STORYBOARDS THAT GO AROUND EYE LEVEL OF ROOM. THIS IS PART OF THE GRANT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE M C. D. C. GRANT. THE STORY. WORDS ARE NOT IN WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, AND THEY'RE BASED ON AWARD WINNING DESIGNS. WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF MCKINNEY HAD AN AWARD WINNING EXHIBIT AND MUSEUM RIGHT HERE IN MCKINNEY? WE WILL USE OUR IPADS FOR IN DEPTH EXPLANATION OF OUR NEW EXHIBIT. OR EXHIBIT CASES WILL FEATURE ITEMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN FROM OUR COLLECTION IN MANY YEARS, SOMETIMES.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY. SO THE ADRIATIC A MASTER ASSOCIATION IS A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION WITH 38 MEMBERS THAT PROVIDE HOUSING OFFICE AND RETAIL SERVICES FOR MCKINNEY RESIDENTS . OUR MISSION IS TO BRING COMMERCE AND COMMUNITY TO ADRIATIC, A VILLAGE BY MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING THE ATTRACTIVE FEATURES AND LANDSCAPE OF THE VILLAGE. BY MAKING ADRIATIC A VILLAGE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE FOR MCKINNEY RESIDENTS TO LIVE WORK AND PLAY . WE ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO MOVE THEIR FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES TO OUR CITY. THE VILLAGE IS LIKELY THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED LOCATION IN MCKINNEY AS A CROATIAN INSPIRED SCENERY AND LEG OFFERS AN ESPECIALLY ROMANTIC BACKDROP EVERY WEEKEND, HUNDREDS OF VISITORS OF ALL RACES, RELIGIONS AND BACKGROUNDS, TWO'S ADRIATIC A TO PHOTOGRAPH AND CELEBRATE LIFE EVENTS SUCH AS BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES, QUINCEANERA AS GRADUATIONS, MARRIAGE PROPOSALS, PROMISE AND WEDDING CEREMONIES. THE LARGE, OPEN FIELD IS FREQUENTLY A TAKEOFF SPOT OR

[01:50:02]

LANDING AREA FOR HOT AIR BALLOONS, AND THE LAKE IS A POPULAR SPOT FOR FISHING, CANOEING AND PADDLEBOARDING. THE ADRIATIC OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. WHOOPS. YES REACTIVE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION HOST 12 TO 15 COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE PUBLIC H IN THE VILLAGE EACH YEAR. SOME MOST ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC, OTHERS WITH A SLIGHT CHARGE, INCLUDING WINE WALKS, CAR SHOWS, CHILI COOK OFFS, PUBLIC PUMPKIN PATCH FESTIVALS AND CHRISTMAS AND ADRIATIC TO THESE EVENTS HAVE ATTRACTED AS MANY AS 1000 VISITORS IN THE PAST AND EVENTS. PROCEEDS HAVE BEEN DONATED TO LOCAL CHARITIES SUCH AS THE LIONS CLUB, THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, THE S P C. A AND THE LOVE LIFE FOUNDATION. THE ADRIATIC OF MASTER ASSOCIATION HAS DEVELOPED, MAINTAINED AND IMPROVED MULTI ACRE OPEN GREEN SPACE THAT IS RECOGNIZED AND UTILIZED AS MCKINNEY PARK AMENITY BY RESIDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE CITY AND BEYOND. OVER THE YEARS, THE ADRIATIC ASSOCIATIONS HAVE COMPLETED NUMEROUS PROJECTS OUTSIDE THE DEVELOPER SCOPE TO ENHANCE THE AREA AND PROVIDE BETTER CONNECTIVITY TO THE CITY'S EXISTING PEDESTRIAN PATH NETWORK. TO DATE OVER $200,000 HAS BEEN SPENT ON THE IMPROVEMENTS ENJOYED BY MANY COMMUNITY RESIDENTS BEFORE CONSIDERING THE MAINTENANCE EXPENSE. CURRENTLY THE REMAINS ONE ADDITIONAL PROJECT PHASE THAT WOULD COMPLETE THE HARBOR PARK AREA, GIVING IT AN ENHANCED AESTHETIC APPEAL AND PROVIDING A MUCH SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR THE THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS WHO UTILIZE THE AREA AMPHITHEATER STYLE SLOPED BOWL AREA FACING THE STAGE CONSTANTLY ERODES AND CREATES DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR THE HEAVY FOOT TRAFFIC THAT WE CURRENTLY SEE TODAY. THE DESIRED SOLUTION IS TO BUILD AN AMPHITHEATER STYLE SEATING INTO THE SLOPE WITH MULTI LEVEL 18 ENTERTAINING LOL SEATING AND GRADE LEVEL OBSERVATION DECKS TO THE SOUTH OF THE SEATING AREA. THERE IS ALSO APPROXIMATELY 320 LINEAR FEET OF REMAINING COBBLESTONE STAMPED, WALK AWAY TO COMPLETE ALL TRAFFIC PATTERN CONNECTIONS IN ADDITIONAL IRRIGATION AND SIGNING OF THE IMPACTED IMPROVEMENT AREAS. THIS IS THE FINAL PHASE OF A LARGER PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS . WE EXPECT TO HAVE THIS FINAL PHASE COMPLETED 180 DAYS FROM GRANT APPROVAL. THE AMOUNT OF THIS REQUEST IS NOT TO EXCEED $98,392, AND THIS IS BASED ON ALL COST ESTIMATES RECEIVED ON THE BEST MOST RECENT INFORMATION ON COSTS AND MATERIALS. THE COST OF THE PROJECT EXCEED THIS NUMBER. THE DISTANCE DIFFERENCE WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, AS HAVE ALL THE PRECEDING PHASES OF THIS MULTI YEAR PROJECT. OR DESIRE AND INTENT IS TO HAVE DELIVERED THIS PROJECT UNDER THE ESTIMATED COSTS IN OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH MAJKOWSKI FROM PARKS AND RECREATION, HE IS VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT IS EXPRESSED HIS VIEW OF THIS AREA AS A DE FACTO EXTENSION OF OUR EXISTING PARK SYSTEM AND HAS STATED THAT HE LOOKS FORWARD TO INCORPORATING ADRIATIC A INTO CITY PROGRAMMING. THE RETURN OF THE SMILES CHARITY EVENT THAT WE HAVE HOSTED FOR YEARS HOSTING OF SEVERAL MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVALS THAT ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY FAMILY MOVEMENT NIGHTS OR HIGHLY ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF ENHANCING AND IMPROVING THIS AREA, AND WE INTEND TO ACTIVATE IT TO PROVIDE FREE AND RECREATIONAL VALUE TO MCKINNEY RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. AND I'LL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. SO UP TO THIS POINT, A LOT OF THE MAINTENANCE IS HAS BEEN TAKEN ON BY THE ASSOCIATION OF THIS AREA ACTUALLY HAVE A VISUAL OF ALL THE COMPLETED FLAT WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE BY THE ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS THE PARK AREA, WHICH WAS ABOUT 200. IT'S ABOUT 202 102.5 ACRES. THEY CLEARED IT. THEY GRADED IT SEATED, IT IRRIGATED IT, AND IT'S ONGOING MAINTENANCE LIKE WEEDING, PEST CONTROL, IRRIGATION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE ARTS CONTINUE TO BE FUNDED BY THE ASSOCIATION. I GUESS ANOTHER QUESTION SO I KNOW YOU'RE COMING WITH IT ASKS DO THESE IMPROVEMENTS HAPPEN WITH OR WITHOUT? THE SUPPORT OF M C. D. C. THEY WOULD HAPPEN WITH IT WOULD TAKE LONGER TO FUND AS IT IS ASSOCIATION THAT WILL BE FUNDED BY SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND AN INCREASE IN BUDGET SO IT WOULD JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER FOR IT TO HAPPEN. CAN WE GO BACK? A COUPLE OF SLIDES TO THE SHOWING WHAT WORK IS GOING TO BE DONE. THIS ONE OR THEY'RE GREAT. UM OKAY. SO YOU SAID GRADE LEVEL OBSERVATION DECKS TO THE SOUTH OF THE SEATING AREA.

IS THAT WHERE YOU SAY NEW RAISED SEATING AREA WHERE THE OBSERVATION DECKS SO RIGHT THERE , AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS. IT'S A SLOPED AREA. WHAT WERE THEY LIKE TO DO IS FLATTENING OUT AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SEATING TO PERHAPS RENT TO THE RESTAURANT. CHANCE OR ENHANCE OUR PICNIC STYLE ENVIRONMENT WHICH A LOT OF FAMILIES COME DO HAVE PICNICS BY THE LAKE. SO IT'S AN ADDITIONAL AREA TO SUPPORT THE SURROUNDING RESTAURANTS AND PROVIDE ANOTHER AREA OF SEATING FOR THE PUBLIC.

OKAY AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE CALLING THE NEW RAISED SEATING AREA. OKAY COOL AND THAT PIER

[01:55:06]

THAT GOES OUT INTO THE WATER. THAT'S THEY'RE CURRENTLY IT'S ALREADY THERE. WHAT WE WOULD ADD ISN'T A RAILING. YEAH PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SAFETY TO THE PUBLIC, AND THAT'S PART OF THAT. PART OF THE BUDGET IS IT IS PART OF OKAY. CAROLINA. YES CAROLINE. TODAY I SERVED AS THE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF THE ASSOCIATIONS IS A MEMBER OF THE ADRIATIC AND MASTER ASSOCIATION. I SERVED ON THE BOARD OF THE AMMA, WHICH IS THE ENTITY REQUESTING HIS ASKED AND JUST ONE CLARIFICATION ON ON THE ASK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE KIND OF LOOKED AT AND DREAMED OF DOING FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS, BUT DUE TO THE AMOUNT AND THE SUPPORT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SUPPORT, PRODUCING FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO JUST DROP INTO A BUDGET WHICH IS PRIMARILY WHAT WE'RE HERE TODAY FOR THIS ASK, ESPECIALLY JUST WITH THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE SEE COMING DOWN THE DAM AND ALL THE PUBLIC NETWORKS THAT KIND OF MERGE INTO THIS AREA JUST OVERALL PUBLIC ACCESS POINT . UM JUST THE GLOBAL USE. I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF THE HEARTBEAT TO REALLY SPRUCE UP KIND OF THIS AREA. THIS ASK, AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT ONE CLARIFICATION. THANKS. THANK YOU, GIRL. AND I JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT. I WAS ACTUALLY HAD BREAKFAST IN ADRIATIC ON SUNDAY MORNING, AND WE GOT THERE RIGHT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK, AND I WAS AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON BICYCLE EAR'S WALKERS AND PEOPLE OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING, ENJOYING IN THIS HEAT, THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN THE LAKE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NATURE AND BECAUSE IT IS REALLY ACCESSIBLE TO A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THERE. I THINK IT'S A IT'S A REAL GEM OF A LITTLE PLACE TO GO . AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT I COULD SIT IN A RESTAURANT AND LOOK AT NATURE OUTSIDE AND THEN GET UP AND TAKE A WALK. SO YOU KNOW THAT ENVIRONMENT WAS REALLY INVITING. UM AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF EXERCISE ON A 100 DEGREE DAY, SO I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT IT WAS THERE AND I WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT MORE FREQUENTLY. I JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE HERE SO YOU ARE REPRESENTING THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

ESSENTIALLY IS THAT WHAT WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE GROUP MASTER ASSOCIATION. IT'S A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION MADE UP SEVERAL OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS AROUND THE AREA, AND THEY MAINLY TAKE CARE. THE COMMON AREAS THAT BENEFIT ALL OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND THE SURROUNDING AREA . AND SO THERE IS ALSO A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION RIGHT? THE VILLAS THAT ARE KIND OF IN THE SAME AREA, THEN DOWN THE ROAD ARE THE VILLAS ARE A MEMBER OF THE ADRIATIC, A MASTER ASSOCIATION. BUT THE ADRIATIC AND MASTER DOESN'T NECESSARILY. MAINTAIN THE COMMON AREA IN THE VILLAS. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ASSOCIATION WITH THEY TAKE CARE OF THAT AREA THEMSELVES. ALL RIGHT, AND SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. SO IF YOU HAD TO DO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT WITH YOUR GROUP, CAN YOU KIND OF GO THROUGH HOW THAT WORKS? IS IT YOUR GROUP THAT YOU WOULD GET THE FUNDS FROM AND DO THE MEMBERS HAVE TO X NUMBER OF MEMBERS HAVE TO VOTE? YES OR NO? I'M JUST I'M JUST KIND OF RELATING IT TO AN H O. A. I KNOW WHEN WE HAVE EXTRA ASSESSMENTS THAN THEY HAVE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN VOTE AND EXTEND AND NORMALLY WE CAN'T EVEN GET THAT MANY PEOPLE TO COME AND VOTE, SO I WAS JUST KIND OF WONDERING HOW THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS WORKED. YEAH FOR THE ADRIATIC. A MASTER SOC ATION. WE WOULD, UH, NEED TO HAVE A VOTE BY ALL THE MEMBERS, SO IT ADRIATIC, A MASTERS 38 BUSINESSES, ALL IN ADRIATIC TO AND, UM, TO DO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT. WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE MAJORITY VOTE OF ALL THE MEMBERS AND I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS. THIS ASK WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT. UM SO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN WITHOUT THIS IS PROBABLY SLIM.

UM SO BUT, YEAH, IT'S A IT'S A VOTE OF THE MEMBERS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MEETING AND GET A CORNER OF 25% AND A SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT. AND THEN I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PROGRAMMING. SO I KNOW YOU ALREADY HAVE CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU DO YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT. IF THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE, IS THERE A FORMAL COMMITTEE OR BOARD THAT DOES PROGRAMMING SO THAT THERE WILL BE MAYBE A MORE FORMAL PROGRAMMING TO UTILIZE. THE AMENITIES THAT YOU'RE IMPROVING ON OR HOW DOES HOW DOES IT PROGRAMMING WORK? SO THE ADRIATIC OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATION , WHICH I PRESENTED LAST MONTH. THEY ARE A SEPARATE ORGANIZATION TOTALLY VOLUNTEER AND RUN BY THE

[02:00:05]

BUSINESS OWNERS WITHIN ADRIATIC A TO PUT ON SUCH EVENTS THEY ARE HAVE I THINK THEY'RE AROUND.

FUNDS 30 TO 40 MEMBERS. AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE ALL VOLUNTARY. THEY'RE ALL BUSINESS OWNERS THAT PAY DUES TO FUND THESE EVENTS AND WE GET EMAILS THROUGH THE ADRIATIC VILLAGE WEBSITE FROM SEVERAL FESTIVAL FESTIVAL COMPANIES THAT PUT ON SHOWS THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. THEY'RE PROFESSIONALS AT IT, AND WE HAVE REFRAINED FROM TAKING ON TOO BIG OF EVENTS JUST BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNED WITHIN THAT AREA AT THE MOMENT, AND WE'D LIKE TO EXERCISE A BIT OF CONTROL OVER THESE EVENTS, BUT WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD LIKELY BE ABLE TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THE TYPE OF FORMAL EVENTS THAT WE CAN PUT ON. AND WITH THE HELP OF MIKE KOWSKI IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION, WHO HAS EXPRESSED HIS SUPPORT FOR ADDING IT INTO OUR REGULAR CITY PROGRAMMING, WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM AS WELL TO CREATE A MORE SUBSTANTIVE EVENT CALENDAR FOR THIS AREA. SO THIS IS FUNDED, UM WHO'S IN THE MAINTAINING EXACTLY EXACTLY BE MAINTAINED. BUT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BE MAINTAINED BY PARKS AND REC. IT WOULD BE MAINTAINED BY ADRIATIC, A MASTER SINCE IT IS PRIVATELY OWNED BY YOU GUYS, MASTER AND YOU GUYS KNOW AN ESTIMATED COST OF A YEAR. WHAT DOES IT COST TO KEEP THAT MAINTAINED? I DON'T KNOW THAT INFORMATION, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON THAT. YEAH I AGREE THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO HAVE JUST ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO YOUR BUDGET HAS THE FUNDING TO MAINTAIN IT LIKE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP IT. YES I JUST WANT TO ADD TO THAT, TOO. AND WE'RE ALL HERE IS THE BOARD STANDING IN OUR IRRIGATION. WE KNOW THOSE LINE ITEMS IN THE ADRIATIC MAGISTER ASSOCIATION. A FEW 100 BUCKS ON THE IRRIGATION SIDE AND MOWING SO THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION. UM IS THE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE OF I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA BE BUILDING RETAINING WALLS RIGHT? SO THERE'S SOME KIND OF STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE THERE. YES, THERE AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THE DESIGN AND THE PROJECT IS THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE FIXED RETAINING WALL STONE INLAYS, SO THEY THE PUBLIC COULD GO ENGAGE WITH THE SITE SAID. RELAX AND IT'S VERY, VERY LOW MAINTENANCE IN THE NATURE OF THE DESIGN. THANK YOU TAKE ABOUT 100 AND 80 DAYS TO COMPLETE IT FROM START TO FINISH. THAT IS BASED ON AND CONSULTING SEVERAL DEVELOPERS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WHO HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUBCONTRACTORS. AND I DO HAVE THEM LINED UP, READY TO GO. SO THAT IS THE ESTIMATED TIMELINE FOR THAT. BECAUSE MY CONCERN WITH THIS BIG ONCE THINGS START BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A FANTASTIC PLACE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE GO IS KEEPING EVERYBODY OUT OF THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THAT'S PART OF THE MOTIVATION FOR GETTING IT DONE QUICKLY BECAUSE IT IS VERY PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. WE'D LIKE TO MAKE IT AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. SO GETTING THAT DONE QUICKLY IS VERY THE TOP OF OUR LIST FOR SURE. THANK YOU. AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. AND I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. MOTION TO CLOSE SECOND.

MICHAEL CASKEY, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION . PLEASURE TO BE HERE. I WANT TO START OUT WITH A FEW QUICK UPDATES ACROSS OUR DEPARTMENT. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. WE WILL GO FROM 29 ACTIVE PROJECTS DONE TO 13. SO AS WE COMMITTED MANY YEARS AGO WITH THIS GROUP INDIANA AND WE WANT TO GET PROJECTS FUNDED, BUILT AND GO FUNDED, BUILT AND GO. WE DO HAVE A FEW HICCUPS, THOUGH SORT OF FULL DISCLOSURE. WE HAVE SOME CHALLENGES OUT THERE. ONE BEING J. MAC POOL. J.

MAC POOL WILL NOT BE OPENING THIS YEAR. WE HARDLY CONTRACTOR . DID YOU UPGRADE TO THAT POOL? EMC FUNDED. THE CONCRETE WORK WAS DONE VERY POORLY HAD TO BE TORN OUT. AND NOW WE ARE WAITING FOR MORE CONCRETE TO ARRIVE ON SITE TO FINISH THE PROJECT AND THE CONTRACTOR IS COVERING THAT COSTS OR WERE RUN THE SECOND CONTRACTOR INSURANCE CLAIM AT THIS POINT INSURANCE, OKAY? YES, SIR. YES, SIR. UM, BUT IN BETTER NEWS, THE GILDA GARCIA GARZA RENAMING PROGRAM AT THE OLD SETTLERS AQUATIC CENTER. THE SIGNAGE WE GOT AN UPDATE YESTERDAY WILL BE INSTALLED WITHIN A WEEK OR SO. SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A GRAND OPENING RE CELEBRATION IF YOU WILL. THIS SUMMER, AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, SO STAY TUNED FOR INFORMATION ON THAT. THE ACADEMY IS STILL KICKING HER, BUT ON A COUPLE OF THINGS, IN PARTICULAR THE CREDIT RANCH OF SOCCER COMPLEX WE WENT OUT TO BID TO IMPROVE FIELDS OUT THERE. THE BITS CAME BACK ABOUT 60% HIGHER THAN OUR BUDGET. SO WE ARE WE LOOKING AT THOSE PLANS RIGHT NOW AS WELL. FINCH PARK WILL BE DONE THIS YEAR. WE'LL HAVE A GREAT REOPENING OF THAT PARK SPLASH PAD PLAYGROUND, MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS, AND THEN WE ARE KICKING OFF RENOVATIONS TO THE REC CENTER AT TEL LEAK. WE'RE STARTING TO DO DESIGNED FOR THAT RIGHT NOW. SO AGAIN, THESE ARE PROJECTS ARE FUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART OF THIS GROUP.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT SUPPORT. OOPS. WENT DOWN INTO YOUR HELP. ONCE AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE OKAY RIGHT HERE. SO WE HAD A GREAT UM, PROGRAM IN APRIL JOINT MEETING HOST EACH YEAR WITH OUR PARKS RECREATION OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD TO GO OVER EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING ACROSS OUR DEPARTMENT. AS A PARTNERSHIP BUT ALSO TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS FORTHCOMING YEAR.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS EXACTLY WHAT WE PRESENTED AT THE APRIL MEETING. WALK THROUGH EACH OF THESE, BUT THE HIGHLIGHTS, OF COURSE, IS MAKING SURE THAT REMAIN TAMING OUR CURRENT PARKS . IT'S BEEN A CORE MISSION FOR OUR DEPARTMENT. YOU SEE QUITE A BIT OF THAT IN THIS PRESENTATION. WE ARE LOOKING AT PARKS ACROSS THE CITY, NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST. YOU KNOW, MY PHILOSOPHY ARE PART SYSTEM IS OUR CITY'S PARKS SYSTEM. SO YOU'LL SEE. THE PARKS CALLED OUT HERE REPRESENT THE COMPLETE PATCHWORK OF AREAS ACROSS THE CITY. THE WORK HERE IS REALLY RENOVATIONS OF PARKS. PEOPLE FORGET THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE GROWING CITY WE DO HAVE PARKS THERE. 25 3100 YEARS OLD CASTLE MAY NEED TO BE REINVENTED AND REDONE. THIS IS A MULTI YEAR PROJECT AND FUNDING FOR THIS WILL HELP US ADVANCE MANY OF THE PARK'S YOU SEE HERE. THE KOREANS. MCKINNEY FORMER GOLF COURSE THIS IS A PASSION PROJECT FOR MANY OF US IN OUR DEPARTMENT TO GET THIS THIS PIECE OF LAND. FULLY INTEGRATED INTO OUR PARK SYSTEM, AND WE WISH TO DO THAT WITH TRAILS WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED ABOUT $700,000 IN GRANTS FROM OUTSIDE FUNDING SOURCES THIS GRAND HERO ALLOW US TO ACTUALLY BUILD SOME BETTER, MORE ROBUST TRAILS IN THAT PARK CONNECTING UNDERNEATH ELDORADO TO TOWN LAKE PARK TO THE NORTH. SO A GREAT CONNECTION AND YOU'LL SEE THAT RED LINE HOW GOES DOWN EAST INTO THE SOUTH THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CROSS UNDERNEATH HIGHWAY FIVE AND GET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE HERD MUSEUM. SO AGAIN, MAKING THAT CONNECTION OF

[02:10:02]

TRAILS. COMPLETE IN THIS AREA. M C. D. C HAS SIGNALED TO US MANY YEARS IN A ROW. THAT TOWN LAKE IS A PRIORITY PART FOR US. IT'S A PARK THAT REALLY REPRESENTS THE BEST OF OUR PARKS SYSTEM. WE HAVE COMPLETED MASTER PLANNING FOR THAT WITH INPUT FROM THIS GROUP. WE ARE READY TO START DESIGN WORK TO ADVANCE CERTAIN PHASES OF THAT, AS WELL AS START TO ACTIVATE SOME OF THE, UM THE NATURAL AREAS WITH UP LIGHTING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO THIS FUNDING WILL HELP US WITH THAT PROCESS. PLAYGROUNDS. WE IDENTIFIED AVIATOR HORIZON AND TOM ALLEN JR PARK WITH THE RED STARS AS BEING PARKS THAT NEED TO HAVE UPGRADED PLAYGROUNDS. WHEN WE SAY PLAYGROUNDS THAT ALSO INCLUDES PAVILIONS AND STREET FURNITURE AND DRINKING FOUNTAINS AND SO ON. SO THAT WOULD HELP US WITH THIS PROGRAM. AND THEN LAST VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT. WE ARE REQUESTING THREE PIECES THIS YEAR. THE FIRST IS A TRAIL STREEPER. THIS IS A MINIATURE ROAD SWEEPER. IF YOU WILL, THAT JUST WILL OPERATE ON OUR TRAILS. SO ALL DAY LONG THIS WILL BE TRAVELING AROUND IT WILL BE BRANDED WITH CDC LOGOS AS WELL AS PARKS, RECREATION LOGOS. THIS IS A CRITICAL PIECE NATURAL FROM JUST FOR DAY TO DAY, BUT AFTER A FLOODING EVENT THIS MACHINE WILL HELP US CLEAN UP THE TRAILS WITH ALL THE MUD AND DEBRIS ON THERE. WE HAD A DEMO OF THE EQUIPMENT VERY HAPPY WITH IT. IT ALSO COMES WITH A SPRAY WAND ALLOWS US TO CLEAN BENCHES AS YOU GO ON THE TRAIL AS WELL. ALSO A BRAND NEW STAGE . OUR CURRENT STAGE IS VERY POPULAR. WE NEED TO GET A LARGER STAGE, HOWEVER, AND SOMETHING THAT'S MORE DURABLE AND CONSISTENT. WE DO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRONIC AND SO ON. SO WE'D LOVE TO UPGRADE THE STAGE TO LARGER, MORE ADVANCED VERSION AGAIN BRANDED ACROSS THE BOARD WITH OUR LABELS. AND FINALLY, A 14 PERSON BUS. OUR CURRENT BUS HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL, BUT ONE THAT THIS GROUP FUNDED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. UM SOME QUESTIONS CAME UP AT OUR SIT DOWN IN APRIL ABOUT HOW MANY MILES AND TRIPS YOU'VE TAKEN SO FAR IN THE PAST YEAR. WE'VE HAD 49 TRIPS HAVE BEEN SET TRIPS WITH OUR SENIORS. BUT ALSO ABOUT 10 TRIPS WITH CITY STAFF. YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE DOING TOURS THE CITY I CALL UP YOU GET THE BOSS AND TAKE HIM FOR A TOUR. AND WE'VE PUT 5491 MILES ON THE BUS IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. SO JUST SHORT OF 6000 MILES, TOTAL DRIVEN SO VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM WAS TO EXPAND. THE BENEFIT OF THIS 14 PERSON BUS IS THAT IT DOES NOT NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE TO DRIVE IT. AND ALSO SOME OF OUR TRIPS ARE JUST 10 PEOPLE. SO THEY TAKE OUT THE LARGER ADVICE. WE COULD TAKE OUT THIS ONE BIT MORE NIMBLE AND SO ON. AND THEN THE FIRST ITEM THAT MADAM CHAIR RED WAS REALLOCATION. SO WE ARE CLOSING DOWN THE UMBRELLA FUND. AS YOU KNOW, THE UMBRELLA FUND WAS A HOLDING ACCOUNT WHERE WE PUT MONEY INTO IT, THEN DIVIDED TWO OTHER PROJECTS. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THAT OUT AND PUT THAT MONEY INTO TOWN. LAKE FINCH PARK PHASE FOREST DONE WE HAVE ABOUT $14,000 LEFTOVER. WE LOVE TO FOR THE INTERVENTION PARK. OUR MOTTO NOW IS BY MORE BENCHES AND BENCHES AND MORE BENCHES WITH EXTRA MONEY TO DO THAT WITH THIS AND THEN FINALLY MORE MONEY FOR THE TRAILS PROJECT AT MCKINNEY GREENS. SO HERE'S THE SUMMARY AGAIN OF OUR TOTAL. LIST FOR THE $5.5 MILLION AND I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. SO CAN WE GO BACK TO THE EQUIPMENT? SO THE CURRENT STAGE YOU'RE SAYING YOU HAVEN'T SUBMISSION? WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THAT? WE'LL KEEP IT IN SERVICE. WOULD YOU HAVE REQUEST QUITE OFTEN FOR THE STAGE ON THE SAME DAY IN THE SAME WEEKEND FROM EACH OTHER WAYS AND PRIVATE GROUPS, BUT WE'LL JUST HAVE A CAVEAT THERE THAT IT MAY NOT. THE SPEAKERS MAY NOT WORK. SOME THINGS MAY NOT WORK, THE OTHER STAGE WILL BE MORE ROBUST. ALSO FOR A LARGER EVENTS LIKE JULY 4TH. WE CAN NOW HAVE MULTIPLE STAGES RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME. YEAH, ON THAT. SAY THE FIRST OF ALL I GOTTA SAY YOU'RE TEAM THAT YOU HAVE ON PARKS RECORDS FANTASTIC BECAUSE DURING THE CONCERT DOWNTOWN, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES WE HAD TO CALL YOU GUYS THAT 10 30 11 30 MIDNIGHT AND THEY SHOW UP TO GET THE LIGHTS WORKING, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE STAGE, BUT HIS TEAM GOT OUT THERE AT MIDNIGHT TO MAKE SURE THE NEXT MORNING AT SEVEN A.M. THAT IT WAS, IT'S UP AND RUNNING AND READY TO GET THEM SO AWESOME JOB. DID YOUR TEAMMATES AND I'M STILL WAITING ON ROBERTSON RICH PART BY THE WAY, IS THERE A RETURN POLICY ON THE TRAIL SWEEPER IF IT NEVER RAINS AGAIN.

MM BOTH WILL USE IT NONETHELESS. I'M SURE IS THIS HOW MUCH LARGER IS THIS NEW STAGE THAN THE CURRENT ONE? THE NEWS. I WISH I HAD THE CURRENT ONE MEMORIZED. THE CURRENT ONE IS THIRD ABOUT 30 FT. THIS ONE GOES UP PAST 40 WITH THE EXTENSIONS. THERE'S PROBABLY A 25% INCREASE OVERALL IN SIZE. ON THE TRAIL SWEEPER IF YOU'RE GOING TO UTILIZE IT. ALL YOU KNOW EVERY DAY. AREN'T YOU

[02:15:08]

GOING TO HAVE TO ARGUE GOING TO HAVE TO DEDICATE A PERSON TO THAT OR DOES THIS RESULT IN A NEED FOR AN FT? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STAFF IT WHILE DOING THE OTHER STUFF THAT YOU DO GREAT QUESTION. NO ADDITIONAL FTE FOR THIS. WE HAVE PEOPLE AT PRESENT WHO RIDE ON OUR TRAILS WITH JOHN DEERE GATORS DO INSPECTIONS WHATNOT. THIS WOULD BE NOW THE PERSON DOING INSPECTIONS ALSO CLEANING AT THE SAME TIME. MAKING NOTES OF GRAFFITI THINGS OF THAT NATURE, SO IT'S A DUAL PURPOSE ROLE. IF YOU WILL, CAN, UM, CAN WE GET A DEMO SLASH OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE IT, OF COURSE ALREADY WILL SET IT UP AGAIN. AWESOME THANK YOU VOLUNTEER OUR TIME JUST TO DO THAT, AS IT DIDN'T WANT TO ASK, ACTUALLY, IF WE COULD MAYBE ON OUR PART DAY WE COULD JUST GET THAT ON OUR PART CLEANUP DAY. I WILL DEFINITELY SHOW FOR THAT CONSIDERED DONE LONG AS I THAT THAT'S MY CONTRIBUTION TO BONNIE WENT CLEAN UP. I'M IN. FAIR ENOUGH. ALRIGHT YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT UNTIL YOU AT LEAST CLEAN UP THE PARK 4 TO 5 TIMES. WOW ALREADY REACHED THAT LEVEL. SO FIVE FEW, YOU'VE GOT A FEW TO GO TWICE ANY OTHER COMMENT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDERING DISCUSSED ACT ON THE PROJECT GRANT APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED BY CITY OF MCKINNEY.

22 18 IN THE AMOUNT OF $7 MILLION FOR THE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACE COURTYARD IN PLAZA TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE NEW CITY OF MCKINNEY MUNICIPAL COMPLEX AMERIQUEST AND REPRESENTS 7% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COSTS AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED BY CITY MANAGER SHELTON. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER . DON'T DON'T DO THAT CITY MANAGER SHELTON WISHFUL THINKING VERY NO, NO, NO JOB FOR ME. I WAS A LITTLE INTIMIDATED BY THE MAIN STREET PRESENTATIONS LIKE YOU HAVE NO MUSIC SITTING THERE . GO BACK. DID ASK OUR CFO MARK HOLLOWAY TO COME UP HERE AND BEATBOX FOR ME WHILE I PRESENT SO WE CAN. SO AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THE CITY IS MAKING A REALLY BIG PLAY ON THE EAST SIDE OF MCKINNEY, THAT YOU GUYS ARE A BIG PART OF THAT WITH THE TUBS RENOVATION AND THERE THE SPACES THAT ARE BEING CREATED. THEY'RE ALSO WORKING ON THE MURAL

[02:20:06]

PROJECT, WHICH IS A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH AS IT GOES UP. AND THE ISSUES WITH THAT AT THE SILOS, AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL MADE THE DECISION A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK NOW TO LOCATE THE CITY HALL PROJECT OVER ON THE EAST SIDE, AND THE GOAL OF THAT WAS TO REALLY HAVE THESE THREE PROJECTS. SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR THE EAST SIDE RE DEVELOPMENT . YOU HEARD SOME TALK AT THE COUNCIL MEETING. THIS PAST WEEK OR COMING WEEK. I CAN'T REMEMBER. UH ON THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST THAT THEY'RE DOING TO OFFSET ANY GENTRIFICATION PRESSURES AND HELP TO AVOID DISPLACEMENT AND PROVIDE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON THE EAST SIDE IN SPITE OF THE REGENERATION OF THESE AGING AND INDUSTRIAL AGING AND VACANT INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES. SO THE FIRST PHASE OF THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX CONSISTS OF ABOUT 190,000 SQUARE FOOT CITY HALL BUILDING. WE WANT IT TO BE MORE THAN JUST THAT CITY HALL. YOU KNOW, CASTLE FOR BUREAUCRATS. WE WANTED IT TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S A GATHERING PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND AS PART OF THAT WE HAVE A PUBLIC PLAZA AND WE'RE REDOING A LOT OF THE SURROUNDING STREETS AND ADDING PUBLIC PARKING TO THE EAST SIDE. I HAVE A COUPLE OF IMAGES. I'LL GO THROUGH PRETTY QUICKLY. UM, THIS IS A VIEW OF THE PLAZA LOOKING FROM OVER AT THE SILOS, SO IT'S A DIRECT LINE FROM THE SILOS TO THE FRONT DOOR OF CITY HALL. THERE'S A PAVILION ON THE SITE WILL BE HEAVILY LANDSCAPED WITH PAVERS AND SOFT SCAPE AND HARDSCAPE LANDSCAPING. UM. AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WE DO HAVE AREAS FOR FOOD, TRUCK PARKING, AND WE WANTED THIS SPACE TO BE MORE THAN JUST THE PLAZA LEADING UP CITY HUB. WE WANT TO BE THAT GATHERING SPACE, SO WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF THINGS AND SOME OF THESE SLIDES COMING UP THEIR ACTUAL OLDER SITE PLANS. I WANTED TO KNOW, BUT I WANTED TO REALLY POINT OUT A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO INCLUDE HERE. UH TO MAKE IT A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE WILL WANT TO BRING THEIR FAMILIES AND TURN IT INTO A PARK SPACE AND GATHERING SPACE. WE WANTED TO BE A PLAZA THAT'S USED EVERY DAY. WE WANT TO BE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE BRING THEIR FAMILIES TO RECREATING. ENJOY THE OUTDOORS, SO WE HAVE LOOKED AT AMENITIES IN THERE.

EVERYTHING FROM PING PONG AND I GUESS THAT'S LIKE A SOCCER POOL AND LARGE CHEST SETS AND CORNHOLE AND THEN WE ALSO LOOKED AT IT AS A SPACE FOR FESTIVALS. POTENTIAL PLACES FOR THINGS LIKE FARMERS MARKETS WE HAVE NOT YET WE DID RECEIVE SOME FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE WHEN I WOULD SHOW THIS SLIDE THAT THEY THOUGHT WE WERE FORCING THE CHESTNUT SQUARE FARMER'S MARKET TO MOVE. THAT'S NOT THE CASE, BUT IT'S A GREAT SPACE IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE. THEY DO HAVE A GREAT SPACE TODAY BUT ALSO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN EITHER RELOCATE SOME OF OUR EXISTING FESTIVALS OR HOPEFULLY ADD FESTIVALS TO OUR SLATE HERE IN MCKINNEY, DID. DE LOS MUERTOS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER WOULD BE A GREAT FIT HERE, WAY TO UTILIZE THE SPACE AND BRING PEOPLE TO THIS SIDE OF MCKINNEY. VERY CAN I CAN I JUMP IN, UM, IS I UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO INTENT TO MOVE CHESTNUT SQUARE THERE UNLESS THEY WANT TO. IS THERE ANY INTENT TO COMPETE WITH ESSENCE SQUARE AND PUT ANOTHER FARM? NO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SPACE WAS BUILT TO ACCOMMODATE THAT TYPE OF USE. WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN COMPETING WITH THEIR GRAVE FARMERS MARKET.

THANK YOU. OTHER PARTS OF THE DESIGN. THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE DOG RUN. PAUL LIKES TO CARDIFF PASEO BECAUSE HE'S CLASSIER THAN I AM. BUT THIS IS THE PAST THROUGH THAT GOES FROM THE PARKING TO THE NORTH DOWN TO THE PLAZA. WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE HISTORIC EXHIBIT THAT'S GOING TO SPEAK TO SOME OF THE HISTORY OF THE SITE THAT IT'S TRENDY NEIGHBORHOODS, THE COMMUNITY ITSELF AND THEN THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT. SIDE IS ACTUALLY LOOKING FROM THE INSIDE OF THIS CONFERENCE ROOM, SO THERE WILL BE CONFERENCE SPACES ON THE GROUND FLOOR THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. BUT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS UTILIZE THOSE WINDOWS TO ADD TO THAT HISTORIC EXHIBIT WITH SOME OF OUR HISTORIC IMAGES OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING WEST DOWN VIRGINIA. YOU CAN SEE THE SILOS AND YOU CAN SEE THE RELATION OF THE PLAZA TO THE SILOS ITSELF. AND EVEN THOUGH THIS ISN'T PART OF THAT. THE REQUEST TODAY WANTED TO SHOW SOME OF THE IMAGES OF WHAT THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING WOULD LOOK LIKE. YOU HAVE KIND OF A TWO STORY CUT THROUGH OF THE MAIN LOBBY SPACE AT THE TOP LEFT. TOP CENTER WOULD BE AN IMAGE OF WHAT THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ITSELF WOULD LOOK LIKE . AND THEN ALONG THE BOTTOM, YOU HAVE SOME WORKING SPACES CENTER PICTURE ON THE BOTTOM IS ACTUALLY PART OF OUR CONFERENCING CENTER ON THE FIFTH FLOOR. THERE WILL BE FOUR LARGE CONFERENCE ROOMS WITH OUTDOOR PATIOS THAT COULD BE USED. BOTH FOR CITY STAFF FOR BOARD MEETINGS. BUT ALSO FOR COMMUNITY

[02:25:02]

GROUPS AS THEY WISH TO RESERVE THOSE SPACES. THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS ACTUALLY THE COUNCIL WORKROOM THAT WILL BE BEHIND THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. FOR EXECUTIVE SESSIONS FOR. OF OUR BOARDS THAT ARE UTILIZING THIS SPACE. THE IMAGE ON THE TOP RIGHT IS A KIND OF A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM THAT WILL BE ABLE TO BE SET UP FOR SOME OF OUR BOARD READINGS. SOME OF OUR SMALLER BOARDS THAT DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC ATTENDANCE. ANIMAL CONTROL BOARD. THINGS LIKE THAT CAN USE A SPACE. BUT ALSO I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THIS IS WHERE I'M GOING TO HAVE MY RETIREMENT PARTY AFTER I GET THIS THING BUILT, SO HOPEFULLY SO, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I LOOKED INTO, AS WE WERE PLANNING THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WE WENT OUT TO THE VOTERS FOR A $50 MILLION BOND AUTHORIZATION IN 2019. EVEN AT THAT TIME, WE KNEW THIS PROJECT WAS NOT GOING TO BE A $50 MILLION PROJECT. WE WERE PLANNING FOR AN $85 MILLION PROJECT AT THAT TIME, AND WE FIGURED WE WOULD FILL THE GAP WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES FROM VARIOUS. ENTITIES THE PROJECT HAS GONE UP. WE'RE IN A HYPER INFLATIONARY PERIOD RIGHT NOW. 18% INFLATION ON CONSTRUCTION COSTS. YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THAT FROM SOME OF THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT REACH OUT TO YOU. BUT I LOOKED AT THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND LOOKED AT THE LIMITATIONS ON FUNDING. AVAILABLE FROM THE CDC.

UM MOSTLY, IT'S LAND BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS FOUND BY THE BOARD TO BE USED FOR THINGS LIKE SPORTS. ATHLETIC ENTERTAINMENT, TOURIST CONVENTION, PUBLIC PARK PURPOSES AND EVENTS. AND THEN IT GOES THROUGH A LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT REACHING OUT TO THE CDC FOR FUNDING, WE LOOKED AT THE PRIMARILY IN THE PLAZA AND IN THE PARKING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PLAZA. THE NORTHERN PARKING LOTS ARE PRIMARILY GOING TO BE LOTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR CITY EMPLOYEES. CUSTOMERS OF CITY HALL AND THEN CITY VEHICLES. WE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS APPROPRIATE TO INCLUDE IN THE COST ESTIMATES OF WHAT WAS FUNGIBLE BECAUSE THOSE WERE PRIMARILY WHILE THEY MIGHT BE USED FOR THE PLAZA FOR EVENTS.

THEY'RE MOSTLY GOING TO BE USED FOR CITY HALL AND THEN CITY HALL ITSELF IS NOT PART OF THE REQUEST TODAY. WE ASKED OUR ARCHITECTURE TEAM AND POPE CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION MANAGER TO PULL OUT THE COSTS THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED DIRECTLY WITH THAT PLAZA. AND THIS IS KIND OF THERE. LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS. EVERYTHING FROM LAND AND EARTHWORK AND SPECIALTIES AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND LANDSCAPING AND PAVERS AND WATER FEATURES AND CAME UP WITH A NUMBER OF $8 MILLION THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE ROUGHLY FOR THIS REQUEST. THE CITY IS REQUESTING AT THIS TIME $7 MILLION IN A GRANT TO THE PROJECT FROM THE CDC WOULD BE USED TO FINISH OUT THE PLAZA. THE HISTORIC DISPLAYS ONE THING OF NOTE THAT I DID ADD TO THIS IS FROM THE CONVERSATION WE'VE BEEN HAVING ON THE BIG BEST COIN OR ICE HOUSE BUILDING AND OUR INABILITY TO RETAIN THAT ON SITE. UM DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF THE STRUCTURE.

WE ARE PLANNING TO REPURPOSE AS MUCH OF THE MATERIALS AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE SOME DESIGNS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH OUR ARCHITECTURE TEAM. TO KEEP SOME LOW WALLS TO SHOW THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING. JEST LEAVE IT. WE HAVE TO REMOVE IT. REMOVE A LOT OF THE BROWNFIELD POLLUTION ON THE SITE. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA RECONSTRUCT THAT, WHILE USING THE ORIGINAL MATERIALS BACK IN ITS ITS ORIGINAL PLACE, SO THAT WE WILL KEEP THE HISTORY OF THE SITE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE HISTORIC MONUMENTS OR MARKERS THAT SHOW THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE BUILDING. AND THEN HAVE THAT LOW WALL THAT WILL FRAME IN A LANDSCAPE SEATING AREA. WE THINK IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO. THAT'S REALLY NICE THAT WILL RETAIN THE MATERIALS ON THE SITE AND THE MEMORY OF THAT BUILDING AS WELL. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE INCLUDED IN THIS UM THE CURRENT COST ESTIMATE, LIKE I SAID, IS NOW $97 MILLION. WE INTEND TO BREAK GROUND ON THE PROJECT IN OCTOBER , SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETE BEFORE THEN AND BIDDING IN SEPTEMBER. THE COMBINATION OF FUNDING FOR THIS WOULD BE THE VOTER AUTHORIZED BONDS. WE ALSO HAVE ISSUED OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ISSUING BONDS FROM THE TOURS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THAT. WATER WASTEWATER FUNDS BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR WATER WASTEWATER TEAM THERE, SO A PORTION OF THOSE FUNDS CAN GO TOWARDS THIS . AND THEN SOME OTHER SMALLER FUNDS ARE FUNDS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PEG FANS ARE VERY SPECIFIC CAN BE USED FOR THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ARE BROADCAST EQUIPMENT. THE CONTROL ROOMS.

[02:30:01]

FOR THAT SOLID WASTE FUNDS. STORMWATER FUNDS. WE'RE PIECING TOGETHER A LOT OF FUN, BALANCED FUNDS TO GET US TO THAT $97 MILLION CONSTRUCTION BUDGET. SO I BELIEVE THAT IS MY LAST SLIDE, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST ASKED A QUESTION. DOES THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT US? NO HONES, WE WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN. UH THE WAY I LOOK AT THIS PHOTO NOW WE, UH WE SHOULD HAVE BUILT A CITY HOLFORD MCKINNEY. 10 YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS AGO, 20 YEARS AGO, WE COULD HAVE DONE IT FOR $25 MILLION BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WE'RE NOW LOOKING TO SPEND $97 MILLION IF WE DON'T BUILD IT TODAY. WE'RE LOOKING AT 1.5% ESCALATION ON CONSTRUCTION COSTS EVERY SINGLE MONTH. SO IF WE DON'T BREAK DOWN IN OCTOBER COME NOVEMBER. IT'S A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS MORE AND DECEMBER ANOTHER MILLION HAPPENED. SO ARE EFFORTS RIGHT NOW ARE TO GET THIS THING BID AND LOCKED IN ON GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND GET IT UNDER CONSTRUCTION. IF WE DON'T IF WE WAIT ANOTHER 10 YEARS WE'RE SPENDING $200 MILLION TO BUILD A CITY HALL WERE BIG CITY THAT OPERATES OUT OF AN OLD BANK BUILDING AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN NECESSARY FOR A LONG TIME. SO YOU DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DELAY THIS PROJECT FOR MONTHS TO COME. SAVE THE ICEHOUSE AT A MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH. SO WE HAD A CONVERSATION IN A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. THERE. LAST WORK SESSION WHERE WE DISCUSS THAT. YEAH I KNOW YOU DID. I KNOW YOU DID BARRY, AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THIS OUT THERE AND I'M I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT IT. I JUST I WANT TO ONE MORE TIME, UH, HAVE GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT IT. BUT UM SAY, AS A HISTORIC DISTRICT RESIDENT. I OBVIOUSLY, UM, CARE ABOUT AND, UM REALLY VALUE OUR HISTORIC PROPERTIES HERE. I HAD ZERO IDEA THAT THE ICEHOUSE EXISTED AND I'VE LIVED ON THE EAST SIDE FOR UM, SIX YEARS GREW UP HERE AS WELL. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN DID NOT KNOW THAT THE ICEHOUSE EXISTED UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. OF COURSE, WE WANT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE AS MANY BUILDINGS AS WE CAN. BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THIS ONE IS JUST NOT PRACTICAL TO SAVE AND SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE BUT AT A COST OF I DON'T KNOW. $2.5 MILLION JUST FOR THE STRUCTURAL, UM REENGINEERING OR STRUCTURAL, UM , SOUNDNESS PLUS ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION OF THE OPERATIONS OF AN ICEHOUSE AMMONIA OR WHATEVER ELSE IS IN THE GROUND THERE, PLUS THE DELAY TO, UM, RE DESIGN. AND IT IS A MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH. UM, IN CONTRACT COST OF THE CITY WOULD HAVE CORRECT BECAUSE WE'VE WE'VE MADE. WE'VE MADE AGREEMENTS WITH OUR CONSTRUCTORS. THERE. IT IS JUST NOT PRACTICAL TO SAVE THIS BUILDING. UM AND SO IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, UM. I WANT TO ASK, THOUGH, ABOUT THE REPURPOSING. I'VE WE HEAR A LOT OF THINGS. A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN. UM AND I'VE HEARD THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO INCLUDE SOME OF THE BRICKS IN THE PATIO. UM YOU. YOU'RE SAYING THAT MAYBE WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP AN OUTLINE OF IT. I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE MORTAR ON THE BRICKS IS ATTACHED TO IT. SO COMPLETELY THAT YOU CAN'T REMOVE THAT MORTAR WITHOUT DESTROYING THE BRAKES. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS IN THE BUDGET AND SAY THAT WE'RE DOING IT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO IT AND THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA SAY YEAH, WE'RE DOING THIS AND THIS IS AWESOME AND THEN COME BACK LATER AND FIND OUT THAT IT WASN'T REALLY POSSIBLE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO GASLIGHT. ANYBODY HERE. SO IT IS IT ACTUALLY POSSIBLE TO EVEN SAVE THE BRICKS SO I'LL GIVE YOU THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION OF THE BRICKS SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THE MORTAR. SO THE WAY THIS WAS CONSTRUCTED, IT'S ACTUALLY FIVE COURSES OF BRICK THICK FOR INSULATION PURPOSES BECAUSE THEY WERE STORING IN MANUFACTURING ICE. IN DOING THAT. YOU DON'T JUST PUT THE MORTAR BETWEEN THE BRICKS TOP AND BOTTOM AND ENDS. YOU ACTUALLY PUT MORTAR ON ALL FIVE SIDES OF MOST OF THE BRICS BECAUSE IT'S ALL SOLID. OUR GOAL RIGHT NOW IS TO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEMOLISH THE BUILDING. THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN FAIRLY SOON, HONESTLY. THE GOAL OF SAVING INDIVIDUAL BREAKS MAY BE VERY DIFFICULT. WE'RE TALKING WITH OUR CONTRACTORS. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SOLVE CUT LARGE PORTIONS OF THE WALL AND KEEP THOSE ASIDE THAT WE CAN REUSE AS THAT LOWER WALL, AND IT KIND OF FADES DOWN INTO LIKE A SEAT WALL IN SOME AREAS, SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THE INDIVIDUAL BRICKS THERE WILL BE SOME WE JUST DON'T KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH THAT WOULD BE SAVE A BLE. INDIVIDUALLY AND RECONSTRUCTING SO YEAH, WE'RE TALKING WITH THEM TO TAKE APPARENTLY A VERY LARGE SAW AND JUST CUT THROUGH FIVE COURSES OF

[02:35:07]

BRICK AND CUT OUT THE PORTIONS WE NEED AND SET THOSE ASIDE TO SAFE, SO THAT'S THE GOAL RIGHT NOW. THEY THINK IT IS DOABLE, SO I WOULDN'T COME AND TELL YOU. WE COULD DO IT IF WE COULDN'T DO SOMETHING, BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THE WE'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAYING WE SHOULD DO THE WHOLE COURTYARD WITH THE BRAKES FROM THE SITE, WHICH WE WOULD LOVE TO DO. BUT THAT MAY PROVE IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE AS YOU TRY TO GET THE MORTAR OFF THE BRICKS, YOU'RE TAKING BRICK BY BRICK AND HAND CHISELING OFF MORTAR. AND AT THAT POINT, THE COST IS. VERY VERY HIGH UNLESS WE CAN FIND A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS WHO WE SAID WE'D BUY PIZZA AND BEER AND HAVE THEM COME OUT. EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING US 100 BREAKS BUT THAT IT'S A HUGE TASK , SO WE'RE PROBABLY MORE LIKELY TO HAVE THOSE SOCK OUT PORTIONS OF THE WALLS. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS BARRIER. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A DIFFICULT BALANCE TO STRIKE AND SOMETIMES SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NOT PRACTICAL TO SAVE EVERYTHING. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WE HIRED THE ARCHITECTURE FIRM THAT WE HIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR EXPERIENCE WORKING IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS WITH HISTORIC STRUCTURES. FROM THE BEGINNING. WE HAD PLANNED TO INCORPORATE THE ICEHOUSE INTO THE BUILDING.

I MEAN, INITIALLY IT WAS GOING TO BE A CONDITION CONDITION SPACE FOR THAT MULTIPURPOSE ROOM. THEN WE FOUND OUT WE COULDN'T CONDITION IT. IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET ENERGY CODES. THEN WE WANTED TO KEEP THE FRAME OF THE BUILDING AND HAVE A KIND OF AS AN OUTDOOR MONUMENT IN THE PLAZA. AND THEN WE BROUGHT IN MASONRY EXPERTS IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS AND. OTHER CONSULTANTS TO LOOK AT THE BUILDING AND DETERMINED THAT IT'S IN REALLY BAD SHAPE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, AT THAT POINT, THE DECISION WAS MADE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE SITE. IT'S A YOU KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN OVER THERE ABOUT WHEN WE TAKE TOURS THROUGH THAT BUILDING. WE WEAR HARD HATS BECAUSE THERE'S CONCRETE FALLING OFF. AND IT'S IN BAD SHAPE. IF IT'S POSSIBLE IT BEFORE YOU TEAR DOWN AND YOU CAN OFFER A TOUR TO THIS GROUP. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, UM WE'VE DONE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT ARE REALLY SNEAKING AT NIGHT. YOU HEAR SOME PEOPLE ARE WE'VE DONE A FULL LIGHTER SKIN OF THE BUILDING SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT AND PIVOT YOURSELF ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN . YOU CAN PIVOT AROUND THE BUILDING AND LOOK FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES, AND IT'S REALLY COOL. SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THINGS TO PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF THE BUILDING AND THEN SOME OF THE MATERIALS FROM THE BUILDING AND HAVE AN EXHIBIT THAT SHOWS WHAT WAS THERE NOT ONLY NOW IN ITS CURRENT STATE, BUT WHAT IT WAS BACK IN ITS HEYDAY. THANKS, BARRY. THE COMMISSION. SO IS THE 97 MILLION. FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT. OR IN THE FUTURE. IS THERE GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL? GREAT QUESTION? PHASE ONE PHASE TWO PHASE? SOMETHING LIKE THAT. RIGHT NOW. WE CALL THIS PHASE ONE. BUT THE BUILDING ITSELF IS THE BUILDING WE'RE BUILDING FOR FULL BUILD OUT OF MCKINNEY. WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ADD ON TO THE BUILDING ITSELF. FUTURE PHASES WOULD LIKELY CONSISTS OF A PARKING GARAGE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO TURN SOME OF THOSE SURFACE PARKING LOTS INTO SOMETHING THAT'S MORE USABLE FOR THE DISTRICT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD. BUT THE BUILDING ITSELF IS SIZED APPROPRIATELY FOR STAFFING WHEN WE ARE 400,000 POPULATION, THE ADDITIONAL PHASES WOULD JUST BE AMENITIES NOT FOR THE BUILDING GARAGE AND THEN REUSED SOME OF THE LOTS FOR UM POTENTIALLY CITY USES. ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS HAS BEEN DO WE PUT NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY OVER THERE THAT BUILDS INTO THE DISTRICT OR MUNICIPAL COURT BUILDING OR YOU KNOW, DO WE USE THE CORNER OF THROAT BORN IN VIRGINIA FOR US? RESTAURANT OR AN OFFICE BUILDING THAT'S FOR PRIVATE USE, SO FUTURE PHASES WON'T ADD TO THE BUILDING. BUT WE PLAN ON TURNING THE DISTRICT INTO A TRUE URBAN DISTRICT WHERE THESE BIG EXPENSES OF SURFACE PARKING ARE INDICATIVE OF AN URBAN DISTRICT. COME ON. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU, MR I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND BACK. MARY SECOND BY JACKIE. EX AGENDA ITEM. SO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS. I'M SORRY. I BLACKED OUT. YEAH NOT ME. MY SCREEN MOTION PASSES PUBLIC HEARING HIS CLOTHES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK WITH UM, AGENDA ITEM 22-694

WILLIAM SPEARMON, PASTOR OF ST JAMES. SEEING ME CHURCH. AND WE HAVE. FIRST OF ALL, LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. I'VE JUST BEEN SITTING HERE. JUST IN ALL OF WHAT YOU ALL DO, AND PATIENTS IN DOING IT. TWO YEARS AGO. OUR CHURCH UM, APPROACH THIS BOARD WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. FOR ITS RESIDENTS. UM AND IN THAT TIME WE RUN INTO A PLETHORA OF THINGS. AH! CAN CONSTRUCTION COST JUST. COVID JUST JUST WAS A LOT OF MYRIAD OF THINGS THAT HAVE TRANSPIRED. AH SO SINCE OCTOBER, 2020 OUR CONGREGATION MOVED THROUGH COVID, AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO PURSUE. TO DEVELOP EIGHT UNITS. AS A RENTAL PRICE PROJECT FOR, UH AND UNDERSERVED PORTION OF OUR CITY. AND WE HAVE DONE THAT BY TRYING TO SECURE WHAT WE HAD WAS SOMEONE GUIDING US ALONG. AND THEN THAT SOMEONE THAT WE HAD KIND OF FAILED TO THE WAYSIDE. SO WE HAD TO GET SOMEONE ELSE TO ACT AS A PROJECT MANAGER FOR US SO THAT ALSO COST US TIME. AND SO RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS LOOKING TO GET THAT GET IT TO BE EXTENDED. ANDE MEET CONSISTENTLY WITH WITH WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE UP TO CODE AND, UM, WE'RE WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH JUSTIN ASTER.

AH PAUL AND MASTER OF FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE. AND WE'VE BEEN APPLYING FOR GRANTS BASED ON THAT RECOMMENDATION. WE HAVE SUCH SECURITY, FEDERAL HOME LOAN FUNDING AND WE ARE WE'RE PURSUING MORE TERRORIST FUNDING AT THIS TOWN. WE JUST NEED SOME MORE TIME TO RECONFIGURE AND TO REALLY GET TO THE POINT OF WHAT? WHAT WE'RE DOING. IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROJECT FOR US TO DO. AND I'LL BE VERY HONEST WITH YOU, UM THE ORGANIZATION OF. OF THE PROJECT. WHEN I FIRST GOT TO ST JAMES WAS IN ITS INFANCY STAGES, SO NOW THAT THAT THAT THAT WE'VE GOTTEN A HANDLE ON WHO WE REALLY NEED TO SPEAK WITH WHO CAN REALLY BEST GUIDE US IN THIS PROJECT. WE'RE READY TO GO. AND THAT'S TIME. WELL IT WAS NOT THERE. CONTINUE? YEAH, YEAH. SO UM. LET ME SEE, I THINK. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? UM I GUESS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I MAY HAVE, SO YOU REQUESTED AN EXTENSION OR YEARS, DO YOU? OR C. BEING ABLE TO MEET THAT GOAL. WE DO, UM. I WOULDN'T STAND HERE TRYING TO GET AN EXTENSION. WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF US MEETING THAT GOAL. WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE GOING IN . WE'RE GOING INTO THIS VERY, VERY FORCEFULLY AND VERY FIRST FORWARD. NOW I SAT HERE ALL DAY AND NO ONE HAS CALLED ME AND SINCE STANDING HERE, I'VE GOTTEN THREE PHONE CALLS. YEAH HAPPEN, THROWING ME OFF MY GAME, BUT BUT BUT, UH, TO RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTION WE DO. UM WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE IN A PLACE THAT ARE READY TO HELP US. AND GUIDE US THROUGH THIS PROCESS. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ISSUE THEN THEN COVID HIT, THEN COST OF MATERIALS CHANGED, AND SO EVERYTHING STARTED TO GET MONEY ON ON US NOW, BUT NOW THE WATER IS A LITTLE CLEARER THAN IT WAS PRIOR TO THIS TIME. SO ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS SO RIGHT, YOU KNOW

[02:45:04]

, AND HERE THE PROPOSAL WAS EIGHT LOW INCOME HOUSING THE COURSE WE ALL KNOW BE INCREASED.

DO YOU SEE? REDO HAVING TO REDUCE THAT NUMBER OR EACH PROJECT BEING LESS ALLOCATED BASED ON BECAUSE WE KNOW THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND EVERYTHING HAS INCREASED.

CORRECT YES, WE, WE HAVE ENTERTAINED THE IDEA OF GOING INSTEAD OF EIGHT UNITS GOING TO SIX UNITS. DROPPING DOWN TWO UNITS TO TRY TO COVER SOME LOSSES IN THE COST THEM, UH, BUILDING COST. SO AS I WAS ASKING THE PRESIDENT SO IN CONSIDERING THAT IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING REDUCING THE WHAT? YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE YOUR NEED TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD REQUESTED BECAUSE THAT WILL CHANGE THE DYNAMIC. IT'LL BE A DIFFERENT PROJECTS OR JUST LET YOUR BOARD NO. IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING REDUCING IT TO SIX. THAT YOU'LL NEED TO COME BACK BEFORE THE BORDER. AND TO AMEND THE PROJECT. SURE. AND NOT JUST A REDUCTION, BUT REALLY ANY KIND OF MATERIAL CHANGE TO WHAT IT WHAT IT WAS. WHEN WE APPROVED IT WOULD COME BACK TO THE BOARD.

BUT I'M SURE YOU WOULD DO THAT, ANYWAYS. ACTUALLY WOULD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST THE EXTENSION MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND. TO APPROVE BY JACKIE SECOND BY CATHERINE. MOTION PASSES EXTENSION APPROVED. ITEM

[Consider/Discuss/Act on Proposed MCDC FY 23 Budget.]

22-69. CONSIDER DISCUSSED ACTING PROPOSED CDC FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET WHO WILL BE PRESENTED BY OUR OWN AMAZING PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIRMAN. INCLUDED IN THE PACKET WAS THE DRAFT BUDGET THAT WAS REVIEWED BY THE CDC FINANCE COMMITTEE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND THEY ARE RECOMMENDING BOARD APPROVAL ON WHAT YOU SEE HERE AND I'LL JUST GO THROUGH IT QUICKLY. THE REVENUE ESTIMATE. LAST YEAR'S BUDGET YOU MAY RECALL WAS 17.4 MILLION. ORIGINALLY FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. THE END OF YEAR ESTIMATE IS 20.7 MILLION, AND SO ARE BASED BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR IS 21. 0.7 MILLION, WHICH REPRESENTS 5% INCREASE OVER THE END OF YOUR ESTIMATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 22 UM, THEY'RE ESTIMATING A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN INTEREST INCOME BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT OF WITH THE INVESTMENTS. YOU'LL SEE A CATEGORY OF OTHER 13,000 SMALL AMOUNT BECAUSE OF OUR NEW LEASE AND THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED WITH THE CHAMBER ASSEMBLIES IN FROM A, D. C AND C D. C. WE HAVE TO REPORT THAT REVENUE. AND THEN IT DOESN'T REALLY, UM IMMEDIATELY HAS PAID OUT AGAIN IN THE LEASE PAYMENT, BUT IT STILL HAS TO BE CAPTURED IN OUR BUDGET. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT 13,000 IS. TOTAL REVENUE. 23.7 MILLION FOR FY 23. PERSONNEL COSTS REPRESENT 1.3% OF THE BUDGET A LITTLE OVER 319,000. DEBT SERVICE ON APEX IS 7% OF OUR BUDGET. 1.7 UH MILLION MARKETING AND PROMOTION. THIS LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR, PRIMARILY BECAUSE I'VE CAPTURED SOME ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES IN THIS AMOUNT. THAT INCLUDES OUR PROMOTIONAL GRANTS. 200,000 OF THAT 1.16 NUMBER IS PROMOTIONAL GRANTS. EACH YEAR. WE HAVE TO FILE A REPORT WITH THE STATE COMPTROLLER AND HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY OUR PROMOTIONAL EXPENSE. SO JUST TO MAKE IT EASY FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE AND TRANSPARENT AND HOW IT'S REPORTED. THAT NUMBER IS INCLUDED IN THE 1.15 ALSO INCLUDED 400,000, WHICH WOULD BE OUR 50% COST OF THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD AND DISTRICT 1 21. SO THAT'S THOSE ARE THE TWO ITEMS THAT INCREASE THAT PROMOTIONAL BUDGET SUBSTANTIALLY UNDER STATE LAW WE CAN WERE PERMITTED BUDGET 10% OF OUR REVENUE. OUR SALES TAX REVENUE, SO WE'RE CLEARLY WELL UNDER THAT WORK ABOUT 5. PROJECT GRANTS REPRESENT 16.7 MILLION OR 71% OF OUR BUDGET, AND THAT INCLUDES DISCRETIONARY RETURN FOR STRUCTURE. THE PARKS PROJECTS. UM, WHAT'S REMAINING ON TUBBS? ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS, POTENTIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS AND THEN THE RUNWAY INFRASTRUCTURE. FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM THAT WAS JUST CREATED. WE'RE STARTING AT THE BASE OF A LITTLE OVER 500,000 FOR THAT, AND THAT WILL BE

[02:50:05]

ADJUSTED OR TRUDE UP WHEN WE KNOW WHAT ACTUAL RECEIPTS ARE. GRANT RELATED EXPENSE LEGAL AND SO ON. 165,000 INCREASED THE FUNDING FOR OPERATIONS THAT IMPACT FROM 3 75 TO 500,000 AND THEN THIS YEAR HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A CONTINGENCY OF 2.3 MILLION IN ORDER TO USE THAT, UM IF IT BECAME NECESSARY WHEN REQUIRE FINANCE COMMITTEE APPROVAL. SO IT'S BALANCED BUDGET AND I WOULD ASK THE FINANCE COMMITTEE TO WEIGH IN SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE, AND I DEFINITELY THINK MY FINANCE THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WE WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH CINDY TO GO THROUGH IT IN, PERHAPS FOR HER TO PROVIDE US ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND. THERE WERE SOME ADJUSTMENTS MADE THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE BUDGET TO ENSURE THAT WE WILL MEETING THE GOALS THAT WE WANTED TO MEET FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. I THINK WE DID A GREAT JOB AND HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET. AS WE SEE PROJECTED, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY HAVE LARGER REVENUES AS WE TYPICALLY HAD HAVE HAD THE LAST YEARS, WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE THOSE DOLLARS IN REVENUES AND PUT THEM BACK IN THE COMMUNITY, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, PRESIDENT FOR WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR TIRELESS EFFORTS AND WORKING WITH THE CITY AND GETTING THINGS TOGETHER. AGAIN THANK YOU TO BOTH OF US. MY WISE COUNSELS AS I COME TO THEM TO DAVID AND MARY, BECAUSE I THINK WE ALL COME WITH DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND SEE SOME THINGS THAT THE OTHER DIDN'T SEE. SO I THINK THAT IS VALUABLE WHERE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT EXPERTISE COMING FROM THESE DIFFERENT AREAS TO CANNOT GIVE WEIGH IN ON HOW WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT. SO MARY OR DAVID, YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? UM. I ECHO EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS CINDY DID A GREAT JOB PUTTING THIS BUDGET TOGETHER ? I WANT TO JUST CLARIFY ONE THING, UM, ON RETAIL INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THAT PROGRAM WITH THIS BUDGET AS WELL, RIGHT ? YES THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FINALIZED, BUT WE'RE RECOMMENDING INCREASING THE AMOUNT ALLOCATED FROM 120 TO 200,000 AND INCREASING. GRAND AMOUNTS TO 50,000 STILL BE IMAGINE PROGRAM WITH A SMALLER MATCH INSTEAD OF 50 50. BUT WE HAVE NOT FINALIZED THE DETAILS. I DON'T GO BACK TO THAT COMMITTEE FOR IT WILL GO BACK TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW AGAIN. OKAY, AND THEN IT WILL BE INCORPORATED. THE CHANGES WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PROGRAM FOR NEXT YEAR. STARTING OCTOBER ONE. ALL RIGHT, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE FOLKS OUT THERE WHO MIGHT BE CONSIDERING RETAIL INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT OPEN THERE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE CHANGES. WE WANT TO INCREASE THE UTILIZATION OF THAT PROGRAM, AND SO WE'RE INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AVAILABLE TO IT. WE ARE INCREASING THE GRANT SIZE AND WE'RE GOING TO DECREASE THE MATCH REQUIREMENT TO MAKE THAT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS. UM AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IMPACT. THIS IS. HIGHER AMOUNT THAN WE DID BEFORE RIGHT, AND IT'S A ONE TIME 75.

IT WILL BE REVIEWED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AND WHY DID IT GO UP? THEY'VE BEEN IMPACTED THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF THAT FACILITY HAS BEEN IMPACTED LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE HAVE SEEN WITH THE INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE IN AND IN REVIEWING THEIR NEEDS REQUEST WAS MADE TO FIND FINANCE COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AND FINANCE COMMITTEE DID. APPROVED INCREASING THAT AMOUNT OF 500,000. I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE THINGS. YOU DID A GREAT JOB PUTTING IT TOGETHER AS ALWAYS, AND THANKS VERY MUCH. YOU KNOW, I WAS GONNA MENTION THE IMPACT TOO, BECAUSE THAT WAS A CHANGE. BUT NOW THAT THE REST OF IT WAS PRAYED, AND, UM GREAT JOB PUTTING IT TOGETHER, AND YOU JUST REMIND US WHEN THE THAT SERVICE ENDS. BUT YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE BONDS WERE SOLD IN 2013 OR 14. SO UM. WE GOT A WAYS TO GO.

FINANCE WILL LOOK AT THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO, UM TO REFUND ON THOSE AND WE'LL STAY ON TOP OF WHETHER OR NOT IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO DO AND I THINK THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY IS A 10 YEARS.

ON THE 20 YEAR BOND. I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE. PROPOSED EMC , DC FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET I
