[Informational Presentation: Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition - Historic District Residential Area]
[00:05:07]
22. OH 8 29 INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR SIMULATION.DISTRICT RESIDENTIAL AREA. HELLO. GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL, KIM FROM ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TODAY WE'RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT IN THE WEEDS FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEMS ONLY, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME PROCESSES RELATED TO THEIR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS IS THAT ARE APPLIED IN OUR HISTORIC DISTRICT GENERALLY FOR PRIMARY STRUCTURE, DEMOLITION UM , IT IS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEMS ONLY SO JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, YOU ALL SET AN IMPORTANT GOAL FOR US, WHICH IS OPERATIONAL. EXCELLENT AND WE DO THAT IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. WE ARE ALWAYS ON A MISSION FOR CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADAPTING AND REACTING AND PROVIDING GOOD SERVICE. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER TODAY IS ONE WAY WE THINK WE CAN DO THAT. AND WE JUST WANT TO RUN IT BY YOU. A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HISTORIC PRESERVATION STUFF QUITE A BIT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND THIS IS A MAP THAT YOU HAVE SEEN BEFORE. AT A RECENT MEETING. WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT IT AS THE TREE AND THIS IS SHOWING YOU HISTORIC PRESERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICTS.
THE AREA IN YELLOW IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND THE AREA IN BLUE IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THE COMMERCIAL AREA. THERE'S A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW DEMOLITION ECOWAS ARE HANDLED IN EACH ONE. TODAY WE ARE TALKING ONLY ABOUT THE PROCESSES IN THE YELLOW AREA OR THE RESIDENTIAL AREA. THIS GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. HOW MANY OF THESE DO WE SEE A YEAR SO IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH THIS GRAPH IS SHOWING IS SORT OF THE ANNUAL ANNUAL ONES WE'VE RECEIVED FROM 2012 TO 2022 WHAT YOU CAN SEE. WERE GENERALLY AROUND FIVE NO MORE THAN SIX. REALLY I MEAN, THIS IS SHOWING COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND RELOCATION.
THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF BUILDINGS THAT WERE IN THAT YELLOW AREA ON THE SLIDE. I JUST SHOWED YOU BEFORE. SO HOW IS THIS DONE? SO IF YOU HAVE A STRUCTURE IN THAT YELLOW AREA ON THE MAP, AND YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DEMOLISHING THAT STRUCTURE, FOR WHATEVER REASON, MAYBE YOU'RE REBUILDING OR REDEVELOPING AND YOU HAVE TO BEFORE YOU GET YOUR DEMO PERMIT APPLY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND THAT GOES THROUGH OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER. THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER CAN DO THREE THINGS WITH THAT UPON THEIR REVIEW, THEY CAN APPROVE IT. THEY CAN APPROVE WITH A 90 DAY DELAY. OR THEY CAN REFER TO HB A B FOR THEIR REVIEW . AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT CERTAIN THINGS HAPPEN AFTER UM IF HP BABY REVIEWS THEY CAN DENY OR APPROVE THAT THEY DENY CAN GO TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. WHAT TYPES OF THINGS DOES OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER LOOK AT? WELL, GENERALLY, WE REFER TO THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION, THE PRIORITY RATING OF THE STRUCTURE FROM HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEYS. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, AND WE ARE LOOKING TO DO A NEW HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY NEXT YEAR. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A CHECKLIST OF DESIGN ELEMENTS. SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOTICED. SO WE HAVE BEEN TALKING QUITE A BIT ABOUT HISTORIC PRESERVATION. RECENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE ICEHOUSE, ETCETERA, AND OUR STAFF BROUGHT SOME INFORMATION TO THE COUNCIL A FEW WEEKS AGO ON GENERAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION POLICY QUESTIONS THINGS LIKE CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR CHANGES TO THE DEMOLITION ORDINANCE. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU ASKED STAFF TO LOOK AT IN MORE DETAIL AND BRING MORE INFORMATION BACK SO THE COUNCIL CAN MAKE SOME POLICY DECISIONS ON WHERE WE WANT HISTORIC PRESERVATION TO GO. OUR STAFF IS WORKING REALLY HARD ON THAT. WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING THAT INFORMATION BACK TO YOU A LITTLE LATER THIS YEAR TO GET DIRECTION AT THE END OF THE YEAR, AS RELATED TO WHERE WE WANT TO GO WITH SOME OF THESE ITEMS. IN THE MEANTIME, THOUGH, WE KNOW THAT DEMOLITION PERMITS HAVE BEEN KIND OF A HOT TOPIC FOR CONVERSATION AMONG RHP ABBY MEMBERS. DUE TO THAT WE'D LIKE TO TEMPORARILY SHIFT THE WAY WE HANDLE THESE C O S NOW BEFORE ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, YOU SAW THAT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER HAD THREE DIFFERENT TRACKS THEY COULD TAKE BASED ON THEIR REVIEW OF THE CEO, A FROM NOW UNTIL WE GET MORE FORMAL DEFINITION FROM COUNCIL ON WHERE WE WANT HISTORIC PRESERVATION TO LIE. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE APPLICATIONS GO THROUGH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION, BUT THEN GO TO H P A. B FOR THEIR INSIGHT AS WELL. UM AND THEN, IF THE HP AB APPROVES, THEY CAN APPLY FOR THEIR DEMO PERMIT. IF THEY DENY THE APPLICANT CAN GO TO COUNCIL FOR AN APPEAL. AS MENTIONED BEFORE. THIS IS REALLY IN THAT YELLOW AREA ONLY THIS IS NOT IN
[00:10:02]
THE COMMERCIAL PART OR THAT BLUE PART ON THE MAP, BUT WE THINK THAT THIS WILL ONE. IT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT OF A TEST RUN AND HOW THIS WOULD WORK AND WE CAN GET A FEEL FOR THAT. WE GET H P A B INSIGHT ON ANY APPLICATIONS THAT WOULD COME IN AND GIVES US KIND OF A TEMPORARY WAY TO CHANGE UP HOWARD DOING HISTORIC PRESERVATION SOAS UNTIL WE GET MORE FORMAL DEFINITION FROM COUNCIL AND THE BIGGER PICTURE. PAY THEM. WITH THAT I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER PAULA NEST IS HERE FOR THE MANY THAT I PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER. KIM WHEN SOMEONE BUYS IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. IS THERE SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT ADDENDUM THAT THEY SIGNED ON CLOSING THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE THIS HURDLE? BUT I HAVE NO IDEA YOU KNOW, PROBABLY NOT GENERALLY YOUR OKAY. IS HERB THIS IS A HAUSER QUESTION, I GUESS ARE WE ARE WITHIN OUR RIGHTS TO DO THIS THEN? I MEAN, IF FOLKS HAVEN'T SIGNED OFF THAT THEY HAVE YES, LESSER RIGHTS THAN OTHER FOLKS DO. IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER ORDINANCES TO THEM. AH! YOU KNOW, IN THIS DISTRICT, UM BUT THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT THAT I KNOW OF THAT REQUIRES THE SELLER TO DISCLOSE AH, THAT THEY'RE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. WE'RE NOT CHANGING, CHANGING, UNDERSTAND, BUT THIS CAME THIS. THIS IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT? AND IT STRIKES ME THAT FOLKS OUGHT TO HAVE A CLUE BEFORE THEY BUY A HOUSE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BECAUSE I DON'T MIND TELLING PEOPLE YOU LIVE IN HISTORIC DISTRICT. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES, THERE'S OTHER PARTS OF TOWN. BUT UH, YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY WOULD AND I KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE TOO MUCH, BUT I HAVE AN APPETITE TO SEE THEM. HAVE THIS DISCLOSED TO THEM. BUT I LIKE WHAT YOU'VE SHOWN. BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT I WOULD BE A LITTLE REMISS RIGHT NOW TO SAY THAT GO INTO THE LAND RECORDS WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS. BUT YOU KNOW WE CAN LOOK AT HOW NOTIFICATION COULD BE OR SOME WAY THAT BUYERS COULD BE AT LEAST ALERTED TO THIS. UH WELL, I JUST WANT TO DOVETAILING WHAT KIM WAS SAYING ABOUT THE PROCESS. THE REASON WE'RE BRINGS TO USE THE HBO THE PRESERVATION OFFICER WORKS UNDERNEATH ALL AND SO SHE OR HE WHOEVER THAT PERSON IS AT THE TIME, YOU KNOW. WORKS FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL IS AWARE THAT THIS IS REALLY HIS AUTHORITY FOR PURPOSES OF MAKING THIS A LITTLE BIT OF A POLICY SHIFT OVER TO THE LAB, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COUNCIL WAS AWARE THAT THAT WAS GOING TO THE WORKING FORWARD, ASSUMING THAT YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE SIGNIFICANT HEARTBURN TODAY, MARK WE'VE ALSO DISCUSSED WITH THE HP AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS EDUCATE IN PARTICULAR REALTORS, WHO ARE SELLING IN THE HISTORIC AREA TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW THAT THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IF YOU WANT TO MODIFY THAT STRUCTURE AND CERTAIN. PROVISIONS APPLY IN THAT AREA. THAT WOULD BE HOPEFUL FOR SURE SUSPECT. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BUYING DOWN HERE THINKING THEY CAN PUT WHAT THEY WANT THEIR THAN WHAT THEY'RE BUYING. AND SO THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ON THE BABY EDUCATED. I'M FOR PAUL IS HERE TO FOLLOW.DO YOU HAVE ANY CITIES? YOU'VE WORKED IN THAT ACTUALLY. FILED A MAP LIKE THIS IN THE LAND RAPPERS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW. SO I HAVE NOT. BUT WE HAVE THE MAP THAT SHOWS THAT YOU'RE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AVAILABLE ON OUR PLANNING RESOURCES MAP ALREADY, AND IT'S ON OUR ALL IN ONE G. I S MAP AND WE HAVE A SPECIFIC ONE FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THAT SHOWS THAT THOSE TWO SHAPES THAT KIM WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TREE AND THE LITTLE KEY. AND SO YOU CAN CLICK ON THE INDIVIDUAL HOUSES AND SEE THAT YOU'RE IN THERE. UM SO WHETHER OR NOT IT'S DISCLOSED ON THE SELLER'S DISCLOSURE FORM. I DON'T REMEMBER. UM I HAVE TO. YOU KNOW, AS MARK SAID, WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK. WE HAVING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. ARE WE ARE WE ARE WE JUST THINKING THAT WE MIGHT ANTICIPATING MR PHILLIPS, COUNSELOR PHILLIPS IS, YOU KNOW IF THERE COULD BE MORE INFORMATION TO BUYERS DON'T RELIGION, NOT GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE THEY'RE INTERESTED IN SELLING STUFF. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE THE LAST PERSON YOU WANT TO. GIVE A CAUTIONARY TOO. THERE ARE SOME RELEVANT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PROMOTE THAT THERE ARE SOME REALTORS THAT REACH OUT AHEAD OF TIME WHEN THEY HAVE CLIENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING HOMES OR PROPERTIES IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT CALL THE OFFICE AND SPEAK TO US, AND WE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT UM AND THEN, UM HOMEOWNERS DO AS WELL SO WE GET SOME OF THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS GETTING SOME OF THOSE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES OUT THERE. WE DID A POSTCARD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN JULY THAT WENT OUT TO THE HOMEOWNER. SO AT
[00:15:05]
LEAST ONCE THE HOMEOWNERS WERE HERE, THEY COULD SEE HEY, JUST A REMINDER YOU'RE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT UNIT MIGHT NEED TO SEE A WAY IF YOU DO ANYTHING. SO WE'RE WORKING ON THOSE PROCESSES. BUT AS AS KIM MENTIONED A FEW MINUTES AGO, IT'S A YOU KNOW IT'S A PROCESS AND WE'RE DOING A FEW THINGS AT A TIME. AND SO THIS WOULD BE KIND OF A IN THE IN THE INTERNAL INTERLUDE ACTIVITY AFTER THE FACT THAT WE COULD CONSIDER SOMETHING WHEREBY, YOU KNOW, IN THE FIRST UTILITY BILL, THEY COULD GET SOME INFORMATION BECAUSE THERE'S THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT RECENTLY. THE H N I. Z. YOU KNOW, AVAILING THEMSELVES TO SOME OF THESE BENEFITS OF BEING IN THE DISTRICT AND GETTING SOME TAX RELIEF IN SOME CASES. BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD BE AFTER THE FACT. AH I STILL THINK WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION TO RESIDENTS. WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO. I JUST LIKE TO APPLAUD STAFF FOR DOING ALL THE WORK ON THIS, ALONG WITH THE HP , A B BOARD AND THE MEMBERS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. IT GIVES ANOTHER LAYER UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HPI HB KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY. THAT'S KIND OF THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOT, SO THIS GIVES THEM SO I APPLAUD YOU ALL FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND YOU KNOW THIS? THANK YOU. OKAY SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION IN ORDER TO HAVE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED AT SIGNING WHAT WOULD THAT TAKE FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT OR THE COUNTY STANDPOINT? BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS, AS WE MOVE FORWARD FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT RIGHT IF SOMEONE PURCHASES IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, AND THEY WILL CLAIM CERTAIN PROPERTY RIGHTS AND THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY SURELY ENSURE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE. THEN FROM THERE, I WOULD ASSUME A LOT OF THAT MIGHT THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. SO I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WHAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THAT? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I WILL DEFER TO MARK AND WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THE NOTION OF HAVING HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE DISTRICTS LIKE THAT THAT'S NOT UNCOMMON THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT ALL OF THEM HAVE THOSE NOTIFICATIONS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TYPICALLY, THEY'RE BUYING INTO THE HISTORIC DAYS DISTRICT TO BUY INTO HISTORIC CHESTER. I MEAN, SO THEY UNDERSTAND COME INTO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND DO THINGS THAT ARE NOT ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT WE ARE PRACTICING FOR THE DISTRICT SO WE CAN FILE ORDINANCES. I'M JUST A LITTLE WARY ON THE MAPPING BECAUSE MAPS MAY NOT GET PICKED UP MY TITLE COMPANIES AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A VERY GOOD JOB. LET ME DO A LITTLE RESEARCH COUNCIL MORNING AND LET ME COME BACK TO YOU WITH THE BEST WAY TO IF THERE IS A GOOD WAY TO DO MORE NOTICE. I PREVIOUS PRIOR TO SALE. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ASKING COULD WE NOT AND DOING THAT ALREADY HAVE THAT HISTORIC DISTRICT ON FILE WITH THE COUNTY LAND RECORDS THAT WOULD BE PICKED UP BY ANY RESTRICTIONS ON FILE AT THE TIME YOU PURCHASE. YEAH. LITTLE WEYBURN DISCLAIMER.I'M NOT SURE IT IS CHARLIE. I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S OUT THERE PICKED UP IT IS ALREADY A ZONING OVERLAY. SO IT IS ALREADY IN OUR ZONING CODE. BUT WHETHER OR NOT LIKE YOU SAID WHETHER OR NOT IT'S ON THAT LAND RECORDS LAND RECORDS. QUICK WAY DOWN SO PUT THEM ON NOTICE. SO IS IT SOME WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT? YOU KNOW , ON THE CITY WEBSITE. I MEAN, IF YOU WENT TO HISTORIC DISTRICT RULES AND REGULATIONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S THERE AND EASY TO FIND VERY EASY TO FIND THERE, OKAY? BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUYERS AND SELLERS OF CONTRACTS. I THINK, BUT PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KIND OF DOING SOME DUE DILIGENCE AND HOMEWORK . WE CAN'T JUST RELIEVE EVERYBODY OF OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THING. YOU BUY A PIECE OF PROPERTY. YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO GO NEXT TO EUROPE OR AROUND YOUR OR STAFF. I MEAN, YOU NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT DUE DILIGENCE. I DISAGREE. YEAH I THINK WE'RE DEFINITELY HEARING KIND OF THE CONCERN THAT WE'VE HEARD. SO I THINK MARK WILL DO SOME MORE RESEARCH. AS PAULA MENTIONED. THERE'S ALREADY NOTIFICATION AGAIN. IT'S HAPPENING AFTER THE FACT. SO WE'RE MAKING THOSE SMALL STEPS. BUT LET'S LOOK INTO THIS A LITTLE MORE, AND WE CAN PACKAGE UP MORE FORMAL FORMAL RESPONSE WOULD APPRECIATE IT. YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID ABOUT WHERE THERE'S NOTIFICATIONS, BUT UH AND I APPRECIATE THIS PROCESS VERY MUCH BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS THIS IS A FIDUCIARY THE CITY IS I DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SUING IS SAYING YOU TOOK AWAY MY RIGHTS ON A CHANCE TO HEAR THIS DOWN, BUT THIS PROCESS GIVES COUNCIL EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THEM OUT AND LET THEM TEAR IT DOWN. BUT IT WOULD, UM, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. WE HAD THAT WHOLE THING WITH THAT CELL PHONE TOWER. IN THAT PARK AND FOLKS GOT UP AND SAID, WELL, THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WOULD BE BUILT THERE.
[00:20:04]
WHO'S THEY? NOT UP HERE, RIGHT? AND SO YOU KNOW IN AND IT'S IN MY SHORT TENURE ON COUNCIL WE'VE HAD. WELL, PEOPLE TOLD US IT WOULD BE NOTHING BUILT OVER HERE . AND SO IT MAY BE A REALTOR.MAYBE A NEIGHBOR, MAYBE A FRIEND , BUT YOU KNOW, IT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL MUCH BETTER IF THERE WAS SOMETHING SIGNED ULTIMATELY ON THIS, BUT THIS PROCESS IS VERY GOOD. BECAUSE IT GIVES A BUNCH OF BITES AT THE APPLE ON IT. PARALLEL SITUATION. MANY PARTS OF THE CITY. WE HAVE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS THAT HAVE COVENANTS AND THAT THE CITY REVIEWS THOSE CABINETS AND THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY PUT THINGS IN THOSE COVENANTS RIGHT NOW. THEY DON'T ALWAYS READ THEM AND CLOSING.
BUT THERE'S THAT LITTLE STEP THAT IS IN A NEWER SUBDIVISION DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. WE DON'T HAVE CENTRAL MCKINNEY. WE DON'T HAVE THAT. SO WE'RE BRAINSTORMING WITH YOU TODAY WITH OKAY.
ADDITIONAL NOTICE WHICH WILL BE LOOKING AT THIS ISSUE. I CAME ACROSS A STATE STATUTE. APPLIES TO EXTORT PROPERTIES AND IT'S QUITE A BIT MORE EXTENSIVE THAN WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE AND SO IF ANYONE COMES IN AND SAYS, WELL, I DON'T KNOW. WE CAN SAY WELL, BLAME YOUR GOVERNOR BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE WHO PASSED THAT STATUE SO GREAT PASSED THE BUCK. THAT'S WHAT A GOOD QUESTION KIM, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS ON THE COMMERCIAL, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT RESIDENTIAL. BUT WHEN COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES COME UP FOR REHABILITATION OR FOR DEMOLITION , WHAT? HOW DOES THAT DIFFER FROM WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE? YEP. I WILL. I'LL GIVE US SOME REPORT. I KNOW AND I WILL RELY ON PAULA TO COME CORRECT. ME IF I MISSPEAK. SO AND IN THE COMMERCIAL AREA, AND I'LL GO BACK TO THAT MAP. SO YOU HAVE IT. YOU KNOW THIS? THE BLUE IS THE COMMERCIAL AREA. SO DEMO PERMITS AND THAT AREA ONLY GO THROUGH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER. THERE IS NOT THE OPTION. FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER TO REFER TO HP. ABBY THERE IS AN APPEAL AT COUNCIL, BUT THERE IS NO HP ABBY INVOLVEMENT NOW CHANGING THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN ORDINANCE CHANGE. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PART OF THAT BROADER DISCUSSION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO INTERNALLY TODAY.
OKAY? THANK YOU KILL ME. GO AHEAD, JUSTIN. UM, IF I REMEMBER FROM THE PRESENTATION ABOUT THE C L G. THERE WAS DOLLARS AVAILABLE OR THERE WAS KIND OF INFORMATIONAL ASSISTANCE THAT WOULD HELP MAYBE ADVERTISED THIS OR MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE PROCESS. IS THAT CORRECT WITH THE C LG THAT IF YOU IF YOU MEET THOSE STANDARDS, AND THERE'S SOME FEDERAL ASSISTANCE THAT WOULD COME ALONG WITH THAT. I CAN SPEAK FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH C. LG AND OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAVING C LG STATUS OPENS YOU UP TO CERTAIN FUNDING SOURCES FOR CERTAIN THINGS SPECIFICALLY WHETHER YOU WOULD GET THAT MONEY RIGHT AWAY. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S PART OF THE RESEARCH WE'RE DOING AND C L G. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU. SO IT MAY MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR SOME FEDERAL ASSISTANCE, BUT IT'S NOT A GUARANTEE PROCESS THAT YOU'RE PUTTING OUT HERE THE, YOU KNOW, SEND EVERYTHING TO THE HOBBY WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT UNDER THE SEA. LG CORRECT THE HP BOARD. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT DECISION. UM. YEAH. SO WE'RE RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE DEMOLITIONS. BUT AS FAR AS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE C L G WITH A, UM WITH THE TEXAS REVIEW. HERE IN TEXAS. WHETHER OR NOT IT'S EVERYTHING, OR DEMOLITIONS IS NOT NECESSARILY SPECIFIED. BUT WITH THE C L G. THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT, UM THE. HOLD ON. I'M LOOKING FOR MY NOTES. I JUST LOST IT. THAT THERE IS SOME REVIEW AUTHORITY BY THE PRESERVATION COMMISSION. SO HOW? HOW FAR THAT GOES, IS. NOT SUPER DEFINED IN ONE OF THE SLIDES YOU SET UP, YOU KNOW, QUALIFIED PRESERVATION BOARD THAT OVERSEES THE YOU KNOW, APPLICATIONS, THE CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS. YES. I COULD JUST SO I JUST I'M ALWAYS CAREFUL. THIS IS A WORK SESSION. THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT ARE THERE, JUMPING FROM ONE TOPIC TO ANOTHER, SPECIFICALLY THE LARGER REVIEW THAT WE'RE DOING THAT THE COUNCIL DIRECTED US ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO DO WHICH WE'RE DOING IS UNDERWAY THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. IN THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LG ETCETERA WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THAT CONTEXT. WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY , JUST SO THAT THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS THIS DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY APPROVAL. IT'S JUST EXPLAINING TO YOU HOW WE ARE GOING TO ADMINISTER THE AUTHORITY THAT WE HAVE AS STAFF.
[00:25:01]
UM AND THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS RAISED BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND MEMBERS OF THE HP. ABBY WITH RESPECT TO DEMOLITION, AND IN THIS CASE, WHAT WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO DO AND WHAT WE CAN DO IS MODIFY THE WAY WE PROCESS AND OR APPROVED DEMOLITION PERMITS FOR RESIDENTIAL ONLY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. AND THAT FOR THIS INTERIM PERIOD WHILE WE'RE DOING THE REVIEW THE LARGER REVIEW DURING THIS INTERIM PERIOD WE'RE GOING TO MODIFY ADMINISTRATIVE APPROACH AND REFER IT TO THE LAB FOR THEM TO CONSIDER. WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE A STAFF OPINION OR STAFF RECOMMENDATION. I SHOULD SAY, UM , BECAUSE HPV MAY WANT IT. THE COUNCIL MAY WANT IT IF THE HP A DENIES A DEMOLITION PERMIT. IN ITS APPEAL TO THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL IS GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHAT STAFF'S POSITION IS, SO THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADMINISTER THIS. WE'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT'S A RELATIVELY PRUDENT STEP TO TAKE.WHILE THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS HANGING OVER AND THERE'S SOME WE KNOW WE'RE DOING A BIGGER REVIEW THAT LET'S TAKE THIS STEP AS A MATTER OF REALLY AND HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL UNDERSTOOD WHERE WE WERE AND WHAT THIS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS STEP IS. GREAT THANK YOU . ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YOU, KIM? NEXT ITEM IS 22 OH 8 30 UPDATE
[Update on the New Code McKinney Initiative (Development Regulations Update)]
ON THE NEW CODE MCKINNEY INITIATIVE. JENNIFER ARNOLD. THANK YOU. MAYOR, PRO 10 1 2ND TO GET SET UP HERE. I GOT A NEW IPAD CASE AND IT IS NOT AS EASY TO OPEN SO IT TAKES ME JUST A BIT LONGER WE GO. ALRIGHT SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INTRODUCTION. I PROMISE NOT TO TAKE TOO LONG ON THIS UPDATE, BUT WE ARE NEARING THE FINAL STRETCH OF OUR NEW CODE.MCKINNEY INITIATIVE, WHICH IS A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. AND AS WE NEAR THE FINISH LINE, I WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UH VISIT WITH THE COUNCIL ON A PROJECT UPDATES SPECIFICALLY TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES IN THE CONSOLIDATED CODE , THE OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERWAY OVER THE LAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS AND THE ADOPTION STRATEGY, GETTING INTO A FEW SPECIFICS AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT ADOPTION DATE. SO THESE FIRST FEW SLIDES I DO KIND OF WANT TO JUST FLY THROUGH. I ALWAYS LIKE TO START JUST BY REMINDING, UH, THE COUNCIL OF THE LONG TERM NATURE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT LAUNCHED IN THE SUMMER OF 2019. AND OVER THE LAST 2.5 TO 3 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN CHIPPING AWAY AT SEGMENTS OF OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE FILTERING IN LEVELS OF PUBLIC OUTREACH. TOUCH POINTS WITH THE COUNCIL ARE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ONLINE SURVEYS. MEETINGS AND THE LIKE IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THIS NEW CODE. THIS TIMELINE HERE JUST KIND OF WALKS THROUGH ALL OF THOSE STEPS AND A NICE, DISTINCT MANNER. AND WE ARE HERE IN THAT FINAL STRETCH LOOKING AT ADOPTION, HOPEFULLY BY NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. SO CONSOLIDATED CODE HIGHLIGHTS. WHEN WE SAT OUT FOR THIS PROJECT, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF KEY ELEMENTS THAT WE WERE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH. THOSE ARE UP HERE ON THE BOARD OR ON THE SCREEN. RATHER BUT, YOU KNOW, IMPLEMENTING OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALIGNING WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS BEST PRACTICES THAT THOSE ARE KIND OF NO BRAINERS, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR MCKINNEY. WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON A COUPLE OF REALLY KEY THINGS THAT WE KNEW NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED IN OUR CURRENT CODES. SIMPLIFYING THE REGULATIONS, MAKING THEM MORE USER FRIENDLY, ADDING FLEXIBILITY BUT ALSO TRANSPARENCY TO BOTH APPLICANTS AND DEVELOPERS AND A RESIDENT AND ENCOURAGING HIGH THE HIGHEST QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE HERE IN MCKINNEY SO REAL QUICKLY I WANT TO USE THAT SORT OF AS SORT OF OUR UMBRELLA AS I WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES, SO THE FIRST, OBVIOUSLY IS THAT SIMPLIFICATION OF THE REGULATIONS CURRENTLY OUR DEVELOPMENT CODES ARE SPREAD OUT ACROSS MANY DIFFERENT CHAPTERS OF OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES. AND WITH THIS NEW CODE INITIATIVE, WE ARE PROPOSING THAT WE MOVE THEM UNDER WHAT WE CALL A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, MEANING IT IS CHAPTERS WITHIN A LARGER BOOK. SO ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUAL CODES WITHIN OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES WILL MOVE UNDER ITS OWN MASTER CODE. KNOWN AS OUR UDC OR THE MCKINNEY CODE. AND THAT WILL INCLUDE THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. ZONING ORDINANCE, LIGHTING SIGNS, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND FENCING. SO ALL OF THOSE CODES STANDING ON THEIR OWN WILL NOW FALL UNDER ONE MASTER UDC. IN ADDITION TO MOVING ALL THE CODES INTO INTO ONE MASTER CODE CODE BOOK, WE'VE ALSO LOOKED AT SIMPLIFYING THE REGULATIONS BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD. A LOT OF TIMES FOR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTED HERE. A COUPLE OF KEY, UM WHAT WE CONSIDER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE SPECIFICALLY, ONE PARKING LOT. LANDSCAPING DESIGN IS ONE THING THAT WE HAVE HEARD OVER THE YEARS CAN BE CHALLENGING. OUR CURRENT CODE IS VERY RIGID. ON EXACTLY WHAT HAS TO BE ACHIEVED IN A PARKING LOT. WITH THE PROPOSED NEW CODE. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY WHILE STILL MEETING THAT INTENT OF CREATING A CANOPY COVER AND SOME SOFTENING WITHIN AN OTHERWISE CONCRETE PARKING LOT. MADE A MEDIAN LOT AND RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS ARE
[00:30:04]
BEING REMOVED. WE ARE MOVING BACK TO A STRAIGHT MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT. WE'VE ADDED IN SOME FLEXIBILITY FOR CITY PROJECTS AND SPECIFICALLY PARK PROJECTS, WHICH OFTEN RUN INTO CHALLENGES UNDER OUR CURRENT CODE. UM SCREENING REQUIREMENTS HAVE GOTTEN A COMPLETE REVAMP IN THE LIGHTING ORDINANCE HAS ALSO GOTTEN A COMPLETE REVAMP. OUR CURRENT LIGHTING ORDINANCE IS YOU. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MATHEMATICS DEGREE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO CALCULATE ILLUMINATION AND WE HAVE MOVED INTO A MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD ELIMINATION STANDARD THAT IS MUCH MORE MODERN AND COMPARATIVE TO OUR SISTER CITIES. USER FRIENDLINESS , OVERALL NEW FORMAT AND ILLUSTRATIONS. NOT ONLY ARE WE MOVING THINGS INTO ONE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT WE ARE DOING AWAY WITH THE TEXT HEAVY CODE AND WE'RE MOVING TO A LOT OF CHARTS, TABLES, GRAPHICS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. SO JUST A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS FROM A FEW PAGES OUT OF OUR BOOK. YOU CAN SEE WE ACTUALLY HAVE COLOR IN OUR CODE DOWN. CURRENTLY, IT'S JUST BLACK AND WHITE. AND LOTS OF ILLUSTRATIONS AND CALL OUT SO THAT THERE IS, UH WE'RE HOPING TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHAT DOES THE PERIMETER ZONE? WHAT IS A TREE PROTECTION ZONE? WE ACTUALLY HAVE THINGS THAT HELP GRAPHICALLY TO ILLUSTRATE THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS. I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY NOT WITHIN THE CODE. I CALL IT CODE ADJACENT, AND THAT IS THE CREATION OF WHAT WE CALL THE DEVELOPMENT GUIDE, AND THIS IS AIMED AT IMPROVING USER FRIENDLINESS, BOTH FOREIGN APPLICANT AND DEVELOPER BUT ALSO JUST A RESIDENT OR A LAY PERSON WHO'S WANTING TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. SO THIS IS ACTUALLY, UM AN EXTRA GUIDE OR GUIDE BOOK THAT ACCOMPANIES THE ZONING CODE OR THE I GOTTA STOP CALLING IT ZONING CODE, THE UDC THAT HELPS PEOPLE RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE KEY PROCESSES WITHIN THAT CODE. IT WILL WALK YOU THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH. UM, AND IT'S SIMILAR TO THE REST OF THE CODE. VERY GRAPHIC BULLET POINTS WRITTEN FOR THE LAY PERSON AND NOT SOMEBODY THAT NECESSARILY HAS TO HAVE YOU KNOW, UH, LONG WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO DO DEVELOPMENT. SO WE HAVE THE NEW LAYOUT. SIMPLIFIED LANGUAGE, CONSISTENT DEFINITIONS ACROSS ALL OF OUR CODE. BOOKS DIGITAL LINKS DIGITAL FORMAT AND REFERENCE SO THAT IT'S EASIER TO BOUNCE AROUND WITHIN THE CODE AND THEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT GUIDE THAT WE REALLY HOPE WILL BE A GREAT TOOL FOR FOLKS WHO ARE LOOKING TO GET THROUGH THE PROCESS. ONE OF THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE THINK IS QUITE NOTABLE IS SPECIFIC TO OUR PLANNING REQUIREMENTS. MCKINNEY IS UNIQUE BY NATURE, BUT WE ARE ALSO UNIQUE IN HOW WE PLAN CURRENTLY, AND WE HAVE A VERY DISTINCT PLANNING PROCESS HERE IN MCKINNEY, UM WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL PRELIMINARY FINAL PLATZ AND RECORD PLATZ THAT IS VERY UNIQUE TO MCKINNEY. WITH THIS NEW CODE. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE SORT OF DEFAULT TO THE MORE STANDARD STATE LAW PRACTICES AND NOMENCLATURE, SO WE WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THOSE PRELIMINARY FINAL PLATZ AND RECORD PLATZ AND GOING TO A STRAIGHT PRELIMINARY PLATT AND FINAL PREP FINAL. PLATT. UM THIS WILL MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR FOLKS WHO DEVELOP NOT JUST IN MCKINNEY, BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE. IT'S A VERY CONSISTENT PROCESS. IN FACT, ONE OF THE THINGS WE HEAR OFTEN TIMES FOR FOLKS WHO COME NEW TO MCKINNEY ARE WHAT? WHAT IS THIS WEIRD PLANNING PROCESS THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING? IT'S NOT LIKE THAT EVERY OTHER OTHER PLACES, SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE ADDING SOME CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THAT. AND IN DOING SO WE FEEL THAT THERE'S VERY LITTLE IMPACT ON THE ACTUAL PROCEDURE FOR AN APPLICANT. IT'S JUST USING TERMINOLOGY AND PROCESSES THAT ARE VERY FAMILIAR TO THEM, AS OPPOSED TO THE MCKINNEY WAY THAT WE'RE USED TO.IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE REGULATIONS, STANDARD CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT INTRODUCING A LOT OF MORE FLEXIBILITY WITHIN THE CODE, MOST NOTABLY ON THAT SCHEDULE OF USES, AND WE ARE INTRODUCING A C SO CURRENTLY IN THE SCHEDULE OF USES U C. API, OR YOU SEE AN S P MEANS PERMITTED S MEANS THAT S U P PROCESS WAS STILL COMES BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING IN THE CITY COUNCIL. WITH THIS NEW CODE. WE ARE INTRODUCING WHAT WE CALL A C, WHICH WOULD BE ALLOWED BY WITH CRITERIA AND THAT MEANS AS LONG AS YOU MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA PROPOSED USE AND A PROPOSED DISTRICT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. THIS HELPS GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY TO AN APPLICANT, AND IT ALSO HELPS TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT BUREAUCRATIC PROCESS THAT MAY OTHERWISE NOT BE NECESSARY. SIMPLE THINGS LIKE A DAYCARE AND ENSURING THAT THE DAYCARE HAS THE PROPER DRIVE THROUGH, UM AND SPACING WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. A GAS STATION. UM, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF OR LIMIT YOUR NUMBER OF PUMPS TO A CERTAIN NUMBER, AND YOU MAINTAIN A MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM OTHER GAS STATIONS . PERHAPS THEN YOU WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT WITHOUT THE NEED TO GO THROUGH THAT PUBLIC
[00:35:03]
HEARING PROCESS. UM ASIDE FROM THE SEA PERMISSION ON OUR SCHEDULE ABUSES WE'RE ALSO INTRODUCING ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS DESIGN EXCEPTIONS WITHIN THE CODE TO ALLOW FOR WHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER A VARIANCE, BUT REALLY , WE CALL THOSE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, AND THAT HELPS TO ALLEVIATE THE NEED FOR FOLKS TO COME IN AND REQUEST A PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR PD ZONING. IT ALLOWS US TO MAINTAIN THOSE BASES ZONING DISTRICTS A LITTLE BIT BETTER, WHILE STILL ADDING IN SOME FLEXIBILITY FOR APPLICANTS THAT NEED IT. AND THEN ALSO, WE ARE INTRODUCING AN AERIAL EXHIBIT OPTION FOR TREE SURVEYS. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TREE PRESERVATION PLANS AND TREE SURVEYS HAVE LONG COSTS THAT ARE CAUSED SOME ANGST FOR DEVELOPERS BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THOSE INTRODUCING THIS AERIAL SURVEY OPTION REALLY ALLEVIATES, UM SOME OF THAT BURDEN FOR THEM, BUT IT'S STILL PROVIDES THE CITY WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE THINK WE NEED. TO SIGN OFF ON A TREE PERMIT OR THAT OR THAT TREE PRESERVATION PLAN. JENNIFER FOR QUESTION WITH THAT, IF YOU DON'T MIND ME INTERRUPTING. I'M SORRY. THAT'S GREAT REGARDING THAT. MY RECOLLECTION IS ON THE TREE ORDINANCE THAT HAD TO DEAL WITH IT HAD TO DO WITH THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF A THE TREE ITSELF. AND HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THAT FROM A DRONE UP IN THE AIR? HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHAT TREE IS? VIABLE THAT WE WOULD ENFORCE THAT AGAINST HER. WHAT TREE WOULD BE CONSIDERED A GREAT QUESTION. SO WITH THIS AERIAL SURVEY OPTION, WE WON'T KNOW ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THIS OPTION IS WE TOOK PROBABLY 10 10 OR 15 SITES AND MCKINNEY AND WE DID A SURVEY OF THOSE SITES. AND WE SAID WITHIN EVERY WHAT IS IT? 30 TO 35 ACRES WE'VE HAD AT LEAST ONE HERITAGE TREE AND HERITAGE TREE IS A TREE OF SIGNIFICANT CIRCUMFERENCE AND ARE NOT CIRCUMFERENCE DIAMETER IN SIZE, AND WE SAID OKAY IF WE KNOW THAT IN ONE IN EVERY 30 ACRES, WE HAVE A HERITAGE TREE, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THAT TREE SURVEY IS AIMED AT SAVING. WE KNOW THAT WE COULD REASONABLY ASSUME THAT AN AERIAL SURVEY COULD BE DONE IF SOMEBODY WANTS BACK UP. I'M NOT EXPLAINING THAT VERY WELL. LET ME LET ME LET ME RESTART HERE. WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION PLAN. WE ARE NUMBER ONE CONCERN ABOUT QUALITY TREES, UM, SIX INCHES OR GREATER OR OF A CERTAIN SPECIES THAT BEING SAID WHEN DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, THERE ARE A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS THAT WOULD STILL ALLOW FOR THOSE TYPES OF TREES TO BE REMOVED UNDER NO PENALTY FOR AN APPLICANT. SO WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THIS WITH THE CODE, WE REALIZED WE REALLY WEREN'T TRYING TO PRESERVE THOSE QUALITY TREES, SO TO SPEAK. WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHERE HERITAGE TREES EXIST AND PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THOSE AND MAKING SURE THAT IF THOSE TREES DID GET TORN DOWN, FOLKS WERE PAYING INTO THE TREE REFORESTATION FUND, SO WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE PLANT MORE TREES. BECAUSE THAT THAT'S WE'VE HIT A CERTAIN THRESHOLD AT THAT POINT WHERE WE WANT TO TRY AND PRESERVE THOSE WITH THE AERIAL SURVEY OPTION DID AS WE SAID, OKAY, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE A HERITAGE TREE AND ONE OF EVERY 30 ACRES, GENERALLY SPEAKING, SO IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO DO THE TREE SURVEY OPTION, AND LEWIS DOING THIS SURVEY, THEY WOULD PAY A FEE THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO ONE AND 30 OR ONE HERITAGE TREAT FOR EVERY 30 ACRES. SO IF THEY HAD A 30 ACRE SITE, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY FOR ONE HERITAGE TREAT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO ASSUME THAT ON THAT 30 ACRES, THERE'S ONE HERITAGE TREE. THAT A 60 ACRE SITE, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY THE EQUIVALENT OF TWO HERITAGE TREES, AND I BELIEVE THAT FEE IS 16,016 TO $17,000 TO DO THAT SURVEY WHICH MAY SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT IF YOU WERE TO ASK A DEVELOPER, THOSE TREE SURVEYS CAN BE UPWARDS TO 100 GRAND. UM AND SO THIS DOES IT SAVES THEM TIME. IT HELPS TO PROTECT THE CITY FOR WHAT WE FEEL IS THE MOST CRITICAL COMPONENT IN THOSE HERITAGE TREES. AND IT ALLOWS US TO GET SOME SOME FUNDING TO REPLANT TERESA. ANOTHER PLACES FOLLOW UP QUESTION. SOMEONE DOES THAT AERIAL THING THEY PAID THE 16,000. THEY IDENTIFIED TWO OR THREE HERITAGE TREES IN THAT PROPERTY THAT WE CAN REASONABLY THINK OUR HERITAGE TREES ARE THEY FREE THEM TO CLEAR CUT THOSE WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL PENALTY, OR WOULD THEY HAVE SOME PENALTY TO CLEAR? CUT THOSE THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THAT AERIAL SURVEY OPTION THAT THEY WOULD PAY A FEE AND THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CUT THOSE TREES DOWN. EVEN HAVE THE AERIAL SURVEY. THEN WHAT ARE WE ACCOMPLISHING? IT DOES ALLOW US TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE CANOPY WAS . I MEAN, AND THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US, TOO, BECAUSE WE HAD THAT POINT CAN START TO TRACK. HOW MUCH OF THE CANOPY IS CHANGING OVER TIME, SO IT'S NOT JUST TO GET THE HERE AND NOW, BUT IT'S ALSO TO HELP KEEP TRACK OVER TIME, AND IT'LL JUST ALLOWS US TO KNOW WHAT WHAT IS BEING REMOVED VERSUS WHAT STAYING. SO THE AERIAL IS NOT ABOUT A DRONE . BASICALLY IT'S JUST KIND OF LOOK FROM THE TOP AND BASICALLY[00:40:03]
DO. YOU PUT THE SITE PLAN OVER IT, AND JUST OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT THESE THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO THIS IS WHERE BUILDING IS GOING. I MEAN, SO THERE AND, UH AND THEN WE'LL KEEP THE TREES AROUND BECAUSE THEY CAN SAY OH, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE TREES AROUND HERE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THEM OUT. AND WE'D LIKE THE TREE CANOPY, AND IT JUST MAKES IT MUCH EASIER AND MORE FOR MORE COST OF EFFECTIVE. AND TIME. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING AND I CAN'T UNDERSCORE ENOUGH THAT WITHIN OUR CURRENT CODE, THERE ARE A LOT OF EXEMPTIONS FOR WHEN PEOPLE DO AND DON'T HAVE TO PAY SO MAYOR PRO TEM IS POINT IF YOU HAVE A BUILDING'S PAD SITE, WHETHER IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT OR AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ANYWHERE WHERE YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM THAT TREE MITIGATION REQUIREMENT SO YOU WOULD BE ALLOWED TO REMOVE A QUALITY TREE AND HER NO PENALTY BECAUSE IT IS IN THE WAY OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE PUNITIVE TO A DEVELOPER FOR THAT. AND SO, REALLY, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAY IS OKAY. WHAT WE CARE ABOUT SAVING THE MOST ARE THOSE HERITAGE TREES OR A SPECIMEN TREE AND THEY HEAR SCARLETT SPECIMEN TREES. THOSE ARE THOSE LARGE TREES WHERE IF THOSE ARE IMPACTED, UM, UNLESS OUR ARBORIST SAYS THAT THAT TREE IS DEAD, OR IT'S CAUSING A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THAT SPECIMEN TREE, IT'S GOING TO COME AT A COST. AND SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THE TREE SURVEY TO PROVE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE ON YOUR SITE, YOU CAN PAY THE AERIAL FEE OPTIONS. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME.UM AND WHATEVER EFFORT AND JUST ASSUME YOU'VE GOT ONE FOR EVERY 30 ACRES PAY THE FEE AND THEN YOU'LL BE ON YOUR WAY. THANK YOU. GREAT QUESTIONS. OKAY SO A LOT OF WHAT I'VE JUST FOCUSED ON REALLY SPEAKS TO THE CITY'S SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND THE ZONING CHANGES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON THIS CODE OF DATA AROUND THE ZONING CODE, BUT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WITH THIS UDC WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT ZONING, SO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT JUST SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED WITH THESE OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE CITY. UM HIGHLIGHTED A LITTLE BIT ALREADY TWO SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS THAT WITH THOSE THOSE PLANNING CHANGES ARE SIGN CODE, UM, MINIMAL CHANGES BECAUSE WE RECENTLY DID AN OVERHAUL OF THAT LIGHTING, CHANGES, FENCES AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT NOT ONLY FOR YOU ALL BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD IN GENERAL, THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE IS NOT BEING TOUCHED. IT IS JUST GETTING PICKED UP AND MOVED INTO THE UDC. I DO KNOW THAT WHEN THAT WENT THROUGH ITS UPDATE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, IT WAS IT WAS QUITE CONTENTIOUS, SO I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR FOLKS WHO MAY BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT, UM, THOSE REGULATIONS ARE NOT CHANGING. THEY'RE JUST MOVING OVER. SO THAT'S ANOTHER SOME OF THE REALLY HIGH LEVEL CHANGES BEING PROPOSED WITH THE CODE. I WANTED TO QUICKLY WALK THROUGH WHAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS, AND THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US AS A STAFF BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD CONSISTENTLY FROM BOTH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS WELL AS CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE CHANGES IN THE CODE. BUT YOU ALSO ARE VERY MINDFUL OF MAKING SURE THAT ANY RESIDENT DEVELOPER, APPLICANT OR STAKEHOLDER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW WHAT'S CHANGING IN THE CODE AND BE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS. SO WE FELT LIKE HIGHLIGHTING. THIS WAS REALLY IMPORTANT AT THIS STAGE IN THE GAME, SO, AS YOU KNOW, WE LAUNCHED THE CONSOLIDATED CODE DRAFT DOCUMENT ON JUNE 13TH WITH THAT WE DID WHAT WE CALLED THE LAUNCH AND THE BLAST OFF, WHICH IS EMAIL BLAST SOCIAL MEDIA POST. IT WAS ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. WE PRESENTED THE INFORMATION TO CITY COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE WERE ALSO IN FRONT OF OUR MCKINNEY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AS WELL TO LET THEM KNOW THAT IT WAS OUT. IN AVAILABLE ARE FEEDBACK LOOP ON THAT HAS BEEN AN ONLINE SURVEY AS WELL AS WHAT WE CONSIDER A TECHNICAL REVIEW WITH OUR MDC A COUPLE OF WHAT WE CONSIDER FREQUENT FLYERS IN MCKINNEY ON THE DEVELOPMENT, SIDE AND CITY STAFF AS WELL AND THAT TECHNICAL REVIEW IS REALLY COOL PROGRAM WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO HOST THE CODE ONLINE AND FOLKS CAN TRULY GO IN AND SHOW US THEIR RED LINES IN A DIGITAL FORMAT. SO THAT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT TOOL FOR US THROUGH THIS PROJECT. SORRY THAT YOU CAN'T READ THAT TEAL NOTE TO SELF FOR NEXT TIME WE THEN MOVED INTO WHAT WE CONSIDER THE LEARNING PHASE WHICH IS ALRIGHT. WE'VE POSTED THE INFORMATION. WE PUT THE SURVEY ONLINE AND THIS TECHNICAL REVIEW. WE'VE MADE IT AVAILABLE NOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY KNOW IT'S THERE, SO WE WORKED WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING DEPARTMENT AND WE'RE SENDING OUT, YOU KNOW. I WAS BI WEEKLY EMAILS. THAT KIND OF TRIGGERED A LITTLE, YOU KNOW , HIGHLIGHTED A LITTLE NUGGET ON THE CODE. WE HAD SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THROUGH THE CITY'S FACEBOOK PAGE INSTAGRAM PAGE TWITTER WAS POSTED IN THE CITY'S NEWSLETTER. WE'VE HOSTED A CODE COMPARISON TOOL ONLINE. AND WE'VE ALSO HOSTED SOME INFORMATION ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. WE THEN HOSTED SOME
[00:45:04]
DROP IN INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS OVER THE COURSE OF TWO WEEKS, AND WE DID THOSE BOTH DURING THE DAY. AND AFTER HOURS WE HOSTED ABOUT SIX OF THOSE JUST OPEN MEETINGS. WE WERE AT THE LIBRARY AND AT IMPACT BOTH LIBRARIES, THE GAY LIBRARY AND THE HALL LIBRARY AND ALSO AN IMPACT. AND THEN WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO FOLKS WHO WE KNEW. HAD EITHER SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS GOING ON AND SIGNIFICANT MEANING . IT WAS PERHAPS AN E D. C PARTNER, PROJECT OR HIGH JOB CREATION PROJECT OR IS A LARGE SCALE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. FOR EXAMPLE, PAINTED TREE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 1200 ACRES WE ACTUALLY PROACTIVELY REACHED OUT TO THOSE FOLKS HAD MET WITH THEM TO WALK THEM THROUGH THE CHANGES IN THE CODE TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTOOD HOW IT IMPACTED.THERE ARE ENTITLEMENTS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD ABOUT, UM, WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THE CODE. AND THEN HERE WE ARE TODAY REALLY LAUNCHING INTO WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER STEP THREE, WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE GETTING INTO THE LEGAL STUFF. THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY WANTING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FORMAL ADOPTION OF THE NEW CODE THROUGH PUBLIC HEARINGS WITH PND AND CITY COUNCIL, UM AND GETTING IT HOPEFULLY ADOPTED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. SO WITH THAT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. NO. SORRY. I SHOULD HAVE FOCUSED IN MIND THE SIDES, SO I KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THIS ALREADY HIGHLIGHTING THE ONLINE SURVEY THE DROP IN INFORMATIONAL SECTION SESSIONS. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE, UM, INFORMATION WE POSTED ONLINE.
HIGHLIGHTING THE FEEDBACK. IT'S IMPORTANT PART SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD FROM THE OPEN PUBLIC SURVEY NOW THESE ARE TYPICALLY ARE JUST OUR RESIDENTS THAT HAVE SEEN THIS POSTED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. AND A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT WAS REALLY WHAT I KIND OF EXPECTED, WHICH, UM, THIS IS A HIGHLY TECHNICAL DOCUMENT. I'M NOT QUITE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. UM YOU KNOW, DON'T OVERBUILD THE CITY. A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT WAS TAILORED TOWARDS THAT, BUT WHAT WE KIND OF PLUCKED OUT OF THAT WAS RESIDENTS WERE LOOKING REALLY FOR SOME LEVEL OF WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER A GUIDEBOOK OR HOW DO YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS VERY TECHNICAL PROCESSES THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT ANY PROTECTIONS FOR THEM AS A RESIDENT? AND HOW CAN THEY BE ENGAGED IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS HOUSING DIVERSITY IN THE AFFORDABILITY STRUGGLES THAT ALL OF THE U. S ARE FACING RIGHT NOW AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRACTICES SO HIGHLIGHTING THE PUBLIC SURVEY RESPONSES AND WE HAD ABOUT 300 PEOPLE RESPOND TO THE SURVEY. THOSE WERE REALLY THE TOKEN COMMENTS THAT WE TOOK AWAY FROM THAT. UM, THROUGH THAT FORUM. AND THEN THE TARGETED FEEDBACK THROUGH THE MDC STAFF REVIEW IN SMALL GROUPS.
HIGHLIGHTED GENERALLY POSITIVE RESPONSES SIMILAR TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. A LOT OF WHAT WE HEARD WAS ABOUT ENSURING THAT WE WEREN'T OUT PRICING THE HOUSING MARKET OR OVER REGULATING THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SO THAT HOUSING BECAME SUPER UNAFFORDABLE IN SOME VERY SPECIFIC COMMENTS ABOUT SOME OF THE SIDE YARD REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAD FOR OUR RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS. AND I WILL TELL YOU THOSE SPECIFIC COMMENTS . WE ACTUALLY DID GO BACK AS A GROUP AND LOOK AT WE MADE SOME CHANGES IN RESPONSE TO THEM. SO A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE HEARD. WE DIDN'T JUST SHELVE IT. WE ACTUALLY HAVE SPENT SOME DEDICATED TIME WITHIN OUR GROUP . HERE ARE THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE HEARD. DO WE THINK WE CAN ADDRESS THEM? DO WE THINK WE HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED THESE COMMENTS IN THE MAKING CHANGES THAT WE FELT FOR BENEFICIAL TO THE CODE? AND HIGHLIGHTING THOSE RIGHT THERE. OKAY SO NOW TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CODE IMPLEMENTATION, AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT. THINK AT LEAST TWICE ALREADY SAID I WON'T BELABOR THE POINT. UM BUT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO A TEXT ONLY AMENDMENT WITH THIS NEW CODE, AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER. THE 15TH ASKING FOR YOUR FAVORABLE ACTION ON THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. WE ARE ACTIVELY PROMOTING THE ANTICIPATED A JOB ADOPTION NOW, BOTH THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND ALL THOSE OUTLETS THAT I JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT, BUT ALSO FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE COMING IN AND MEETING WITH STAFF BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTIVELY IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS ON THE HORIZON. AS WE TALK ABOUT TRANSITION STRATEGY FOLLOWING CODE ADOPTION, AND WE'D MENTIONED TO YOU ALL BEFORE THE IDEA OF THE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE AND THAT DUAL CODE WHERE FOR A SIX MONTH PERIOD, A DEVELOPMENT OR DEVELOPER APPLICANT HAD THE CHOICE WHETHER THEY WANTED TO DEVELOP UNDER THE CURRENT CODES FOR TODAY, OR THE NEW CODE. AND WE'RE STILL VERY MUCH ARE RECOMMENDING THAT MOVING FORWARD, BUT WE DID WANT TO SPECIFY THAT OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO OFFER THAT DUAL CODE FOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE ONLY REMEMBER, I TALKED ABOUT LIGHTING SIGN ORDINANCE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE , STORMWATER AND FENCES, AND WE DO RECOMMEND THE CHANGES IN THOSE PARTICULAR CODES. ARE MINOR ENOUGH THAT A SIX MONTH
[00:50:07]
WINDOWS PROBABLY NOT BENEFICIAL , UM REALLY TO THE APPLICANT OR TO THE CITY BECAUSE THE CHANGES ARE OUR CALL THEM MINOR, BUT THEY'RE BENEFICIAL CHANGES. IT'S THE ZONING CODE WHERE THERE MAY BE SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO DEVELOP UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING CODE. SO WITH THE TRANSITION STRATEGY WE DID WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE COUNCIL THAT WHAT WE RECOMMEND IS THAT IT IS THE ZONING ORDINANCE ONLY THAT PEOPLE GET TO CHOOSE OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AGAIN THAT IT'S YOU DON'T GET TO MIX AND MATCH YOUR STANDARDS YOU DON'T GET TO MIX. ONE OF THE STANDARDS FROM THE NEW CODE WITH THE STANDARD FROM THE OLD CODE. YOU'RE EITHER UNDER THE OLD COATING OR UNDER THE NEW CODE, AND THEN IT JUST TRULY THE APPLICANTS CHOICE WHEN THEY SUBMIT THEIR PROJECT FOR REVIEW . UM AND THE CITY WOULD SORT OF HONOR THAT THROUGH THE REVIEW AND THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT IF THEY LOCK IN ON THAT ON THAT, UH, CURRENT ZONING CODE THROUGH THE LIFE OF THAT PROJECT, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO APPLY FOR THEM. DOES ANYBODY IN THE COUNCIL HAS AN ISSUE WITH THAT? I THINK THAT'S PERFECT. PERFECT WONDERFUL. SO WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT. HOPEFULLY FOLLOWING A FAVORABLE ACTION BY THE COUNCIL, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS ON THE HORIZON FOR THIS IS SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR ADOPTION OF THIS NEW U. D C AND I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT REAL QUICKLY FOR YOU ALL THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY IN STATE LAW TO DO WHAT WE CALL AN ALTERNATIVE, NOTICING AND PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.TYPICALLY WHEN WE MAKE CHANGES TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, EITHER THROUGH A REZONING OF A PROPERTY OR THROUGH A TEXT AMENDMENT. THAT HAS TO GO TO P AND Z FIRST AND THEN IT COMES TO CITY COUNCIL SEPARATELY, BUT STATE LAW ALLOWS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMBINE THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS INTO ONE JOINT MEETING, AND IT ALSO GIVES THE CITY COUNCIL THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPECIFICALLY DEFINE HOW THAT MEETING GETS NOTICED TO THE CITY RESIDENTS AND GIVEN THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. WE DO RECOMMEND THAT THIS IS AN OPTION THAT WE PURSUE, AND WE DO THINK IT KIND OF SAFEGUARDS THE CITY FROM ANY PROCEDURAL CHALLENGES MOVING FORWARD. BUT WE ALSO THINK IT'S JUST IT REALLY MAKES SENSE, GIVEN THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF THE CHANGES TO HAVE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL MEET JOINTLY IN ORDER TO TAKE THOSE FINAL ACTIONS, SO WITH THAT, AT THE OCTOBER 4TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING WILL ACTUALLY BE BRINGING FORWARD AN ORDINANCE TO THE CITY COUNCIL WHEREBY YOU WILL ADOPT THIS ALTERNATE NOTICING AND PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. ESSENTIALLY WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A PROPOSAL TO THE COUNCIL THAT YOU DEFINE HOW WE NOTICE THE PUBLIC HEARING . TYPICALLY IT'S ILLEGAL NOTICE IN THE PAPER. AND WITH THIS, WE WOULD ACTUALLY RECOMMEND THAT WE DO A LITTLE BIT MORE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOTICE IN THE PAPER POSTING ON THE WEBSITE, INFORMATIONAL FLYERS AND THE UTILITY BILLS FOR RESIDENTS AND POSTING AND THE COMMUNITY IMPACT NEW NEWSLETTER SO IT WOULD BE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT'S TYPICALLY REQUIRED AND THEN ALSO SETTING THE DATE FOR THAT, UM, JOINT PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. OH OCTOBER 3RD SORRY. NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. MY APOLOGIES. SO SCRATCH THAT IT'S OCTOBER. THE THIRD UM, BUT WHAT WE'RE BECOMING BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND SEEKING THAT ALTERNATE ADOPTION PROCESS THROUGH YOU, AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ACTED ON FAVORABLY BY THE COUNCIL, WE WILL BE OFF TO THE RACES AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THIS FINAL CODE FOR JOINT ACTION BY P. AND ZN COUNCIL IN NOVEMBER. AND I THINK THAT IS MY LAST SLIDE. YEAH.
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR ME. QUESTIONS. SO DOES ALL THIS. UM I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING REALLY I MEAN, YOU YOU'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT A FEW OF THE CHANGES, BUT THERE'S NOTHING DRASTIC CHANGE FROM WHAT WE CURRENTLY REQUIRE AND THE BUILDING CODES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I MEAN, THERE'S NO VAST CHANGES IN THAT. I MEAN, WE'RE UPDATING THEM. YEP I WOULD . I WOULD AGREE. I WOULD SAY THAT THE MOST NOTEWORTHY CHANGE THAT FOLKS WILL PROBABLY CARE ABOUT WILL BE CHANGES IN USES.
SO BEFORE EXAMPLE, UM AND I'M MAKING THIS UP. SO PLEASE DON'T HOLD ME TO THESE ARE WHAT'S CHANGING. UM IF MY PROPERTY IS OWNED C TWO AND RIGHT NOW IN C TWO, I CAN DO OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT WITH THE NEW CODE . PERHAPS THAT IS NO LONGER PERMITTED BY RIGHT SO THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES AND USES THAT ARE PROPOSED WITH THIS NEW CODE. FROM STAFF STANDPOINT , WE'VE WE THINK THAT WE'VE BECOME MORE PERMISSIVE AND USES . WE THINK WE'VE WE'VE CHANGED IN RESPONSE TO THE MARKET. WE HAVE SPENT A PAINFUL AMOUNT OF TIME COMPARING OUR CURRENT CODES TO OUR SISTER CITY CODES WITH OUR CONSULTING FIRM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE HIT THE RIGHT MARK, AND THAT'S THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT. SIX MONTH DUAL CODE IS TO SAY, HEY, IF SOMEBODY
[00:55:04]
IS USE CHANGED YOU STILL WANT TO CHANGE THAT? THEY'RE NOT OKAY WITH WE WANT THEM TO HAVE AN AVENUE TO STILL BE THE TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP UNDERNEATH THAT CURRENT ALLOWANCE. THAT WOULD BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. EVERYTHING ELSE I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU IS REALLY SMALLER CHANGES BUT BENEFICIAL CHANGES THAT WERE LONG OVERDUE. OKAY THAT MEAN THAT YOU'RE NOT GETTING RID OF THE WORDS MULTI FAMILY LIKE I ASKED. NO ANSWER THAT. THANK YOU . SO THAT WAS MY OTHER QUESTION , SO COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES. DO THEY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I MEAN, HOW MANY OF THEM HAVE UPDATED TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS THIS ARE WE KIND OF IN THE FOREFRONT, OR WE JUST KEPT BRINGING UP THE REAR. WE'RE PROBABLY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. CITY OF DENTON RECENTLY AMENDED THEIR CODES AND THEY MOVED TO THIS U. D C FORMAT. UM FRISCO'S . I THINK IT'S STILL FRISCO'S WAS ALREADY IN A PRETTY GOOD GRAPHICAL FORMAT, SO I WOULD SAY WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT A TRENDSETTER, BUT WE'RE NOT BRINGING UP THE REAR. I THINK WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN NEEDED FROM THEY TALK ABOUT THE 1959.OH YEAH, JUST KIND OF BUILDING. ON TOP OF THAT. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF PATCHWORK. OVER THE YEARS. SO THIS THIS OVERHAUL IS REALLY KNOWING WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE CODE AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
THEY'VE ADDRESSED A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT DEVELOPERS HAVE COMING INTO THE CITY AND REALLY MADE IT TO WHERE IT'S USER FRIENDLY FOR THEM. SO IT'S GREAT, SO YOU BRING IT TO US. WE ACCEPT IT, SO WE VOTE ON IT. AND WE SAY, OKAY, NOW, THIS IS THE LAW OF THE LAND, BASICALLY, UM, YOU GO FIVE OR SIX MONTHS AND YOU AND LIKE THERE'S TWO OR THREE THINGS THAT KEEP COMING UP, AND THERE'S KIND OF A PAIN. MAYBE WE NEED TO ADJUST THAT THERE'S SOME FINE TUNING INVOLVED DO DO YOU HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL TO MAKE THOSE FINE TUNE TUNING THINGS OR DO YOU? CAN YOU DO THEM? YEAH WE WILL. I MEAN ANY CHANGE TO THE CODE WILL HAVE TO BRING BACK TO THE COUNCIL. BUT THAT'S SUCH A GOOD POINT. AND I CAN'T UNDERSCORE THIS ENOUGH AS GOOD AS WE ARE, AND WE'RE THE BEST. IT WON'T BE PERFECT. YEAH IT WON'T BE PERFECT. THERE WILL BE THINGS THAT WILL NEED TO GET, UH YOU KNOW, ADJUSTED AND CALIBRATED, AND IT WILL BE INCUMBENT UPON US TO MONITOR THOSE AND BRING THEM TO BOTH P AND Z AND COUNCIL SYSTEMATICALLY SO THAT WE CAN GET IT WHERE WE WANT THE CODE TO BE SO ABSOLUTELY WILL BE MONITORING THAT AS WELL. OKAY? I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ELSE. OUTSTANDING ALRIGHT, WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY NEXT TO
[Potential 2023 Bond Election Discussion]
ITEM 22 083 POTENTIAL 2023 BOND ELECTION. VERY SHELTON. GOOD EVENING. WE'RE GONNA TAKE MY MASK OFF. I'M SPEAKING. I'M FULLY HEALTHY. BUT JUST GETTING OVER BEING SICK LAST WEEK, SO FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE. I WAS LEAVING THAT ON. I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THE ITEM TONIGHT. AND GO THROUGH THE FIRST COUPLE OF SLIDES GET INTO THE AGENDA FOR THE PRESENTATION. I'M GOING TO ASK TREVOR MAYNARD TO ALSO COME UP AND SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ON THE BONDING CAPACITY AND UNFUNDED PROJECTS. AND THEN KEN CARLY, THE AIRPORT DIRECTOR AND MYSELF WILL KIND OF TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE AIRPORT RELATED PROJECTS THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE INCLUDED IN A POTENTIAL BOND ELECTION.FOR NEXT YEAR. UM SO TYPICALLY, THE CITY OF MCKINNEY GOES OUT FOR BOND REFERENDUMS ABOUT EVERY 4 TO 5 YEARS. WE TYPICALLY PLAN A WIDE RANGE OF PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE OFFERED TO THE CITIZENS FOR THEIR APPROVAL. OUR MOST RECENT IN 2019 WAS A BOND ELECTION THAT WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THE NUMBERS LATER, BUT IT INCLUDED PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES, STREETS, PARKS. AND I THINK I'M LEAVING ONE OUT. CITY HALL. SORRY. CITY HALL WAS THE OTHER. AND WE TYPICALLY GO TO THE VOTERS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF THINGS THAT WERE WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROPOSAL FOR A FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF A BOND ELECTION IN 2023. THIS WOULD BE IN MAY OF NEXT YEAR. GENERALLY WE BASE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS OFF OF WHAT'S OVER HERE ON THE BOARD, WHICH IS THE MCKINNEY FIRST COUNCIL GOALS AND STRATEGIES. READ THOSE OFF REAL QUICKLY FOR YOU. ONE IS DIRECTION FOR STRATEGIC AND ECONOMIC GROWTH, OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND MAXIMIZE THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THE MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT.
FINANCIALLY SOUND GOVERNMENT ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE IN MCKINNEY AND SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY. TREVOR IS GOING TO COME UP AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE NEXT ITEMS IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT GENERALLY THE GOALS FOR THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT ARE GOING TO BE TALKING THROUGH HISTORICAL LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANS AND HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CAPACITY
[01:00:01]
TO NOT ONLY FUND THE PROJECTS ON THE CAPITAL SIDE, BUT WE ALSO ARE ABLE TO FUND THE OPERATIONAL SIDE OF ANY BUDGETARY ISSUES THAT COME OUT OF THOSE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE OUTLINE FOR THE CURRENT DEBT DEBT AUTHORIZATION REMAINING THAT'S LOOKING AT THE 2019 BOND WHERE WE STAND ON THAT THEY WERE GOING TO OVER HAVE AN OVERVIEW OF CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED UNFUNDED PROJECTS AND THAT'S GOING TO START KIND OF GENERAL. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO SOME SPACES. EXCUSE ME. SPECIFICS AT MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSED TIMELINE AND NEXT STEPS AND THEN OPEN IT UP FOR FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL. BUT GENERALLY WE ARE PROPOSING THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE START TALKING ABOUT THE APPOINTMENT OF A BOND COMMITTEE. THE BOND COMMITTEE IS A GROUP OF CITIZENS FROM VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS THAT HELP US COME TOGETHER. THEY WEED THROUGH A LOT OF THE DETAILS OF THE THINGS THAT THEY CITY STAFF BELIEVES MEET THOSE SIX COUNCIL GOALS ON THE WALL AND THEY HELP US WEED OUT THE PROJECTS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE INCLUDED. AND THEN KIND OF FINE TUNE WHAT WE GO TO THE VOTERS WITH WITH THAT I'M GOING TO TURN THE TIME OVER TO TREVOR MINIATURE. OUR DIRECTOR STRATEGIC SERVICES TO WALK US THROUGH SOME OF THE NUMBER THANK YOU, MS. SHELTON MR MAYOR, PRO TIM MEMBERS COUNCIL. AS BARRY MENTIONED, I'M GOING TO JUMP THROUGH KIND OF THE HIGH LEVEL FINANCIAL PICTURE AS WELL AS WHERE WE STAND WITH THE 2019 BONDS, SO WE DID THE SAME EXACT EXERCISE WITH I THINK AT THAT TIME ONLY CHARLIE AND MAYOR PRO TIM. EXCUSE ME, COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS. OKAY WITH CHARLIE. HE'S BEATEN INTO ME. SO STEADILY OVER THE YEARS, I FINALLY CLICKED. UM SO, SO WE'LL RUN THROUGH KIND OF WHERE THOSE VARIOUS TOPICS OF LAND AS FAR AS THOSE FIVE DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH OUR CAPACITY IS AND THEN, AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN NOW WHERE WE ARE, AS FAR AS THE TAX RATE, AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE TAX RATE A FEW WEEKS AGO IN RELATION TO THE BUDGET, THERE WILL BE SOME ACTION THIS EVENING. POTENTIAL ACTION I SHOULD SAY THIS EVENING ON ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE. THIS IS THE PROPOSED TAX RATE THAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE. HIGHLIGHT THE DEBT RATE BECAUSE THE BALANCE OF WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE OPERATIONAL IMPACTS TO EVERYTHING THAT WE ACCOMPLISH WITH DEBT ISSUANCES, THE BALANCE OF WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS EVENING IS IMPACTING THE I N S RATE OR IS BECAUSE OF THE INS RATE THAT INTEREST IN SINKING RATE. OR OUR DEBT RATE. VERY BRIEFLY MENTIONED IT. BUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE MARRIED UP A 10 YEAR GENERAL FUND PLAN OR OPERATIONAL PLAN WITH OUR 10 YEAR DEBT OUTLOOK, SO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW WE NEED TO PAY FOR A GROWING CITY, WHETHER IT BE FACILITIES OR STREETS, UM PARKS OR OTHER TYPES OF PUBLIC SAFETY.ITEMS THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR ON A LONG RANGE DEBT ISSUANCE. WE MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE MARRIED UP WITH THE OPERATIONAL IMPACTS FOR THE GENERAL FUND SIDE OF THE HOUSE. SO FOR INSTANCE, WHEN YOU BUILD A FIRE STATION, YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY FROM AN OPERATIONAL STAND. PUT US OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT TO STAFF THAT FIRE STATION THAT THAT LOGIC FLOWS FOR ANY TYPE OF DECISIONS THAT WE DO. SO THAT'S THE GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT PLAN AND ALSO THE GENERAL FUND THAT PLAN THAT'S THE M AND O RATE AND THE I N S RATE THAT WE SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SCREEN. THOSE TWO UNDERLINED ITEMS ARE SPECIFIC THAT YES, WE TELL FOLKS WHAT OUR CAPACITY IS. WE SHOWED TO THE COUNCIL. WHAT OUR CAPACITY IS, HOWEVER, ALWAYS ASSUMES THAT WE MAINTAIN THE INS RATE AT ITS CURRENT LEVEL ON ALL OF OUR PLANS WERE NOT ASSUMING THAT THE INS RATE INCREASES BEING THAT WE HAVE A TAX INCREASE FOR ANY OF THOSE THINGS. UM HERE IN MCKINNEY. IT'S NO. UM SURPRISED ANY OF US. WE ENJOY GROWING ASSESSED EVALUATIONS ON RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. NEW EVALUATION COMES INTO OUR CITY ON A FAIRLY FREQUENT BASIS, AND THAT'S WHY THAT MAINTAINING OF THE INS RATE CAN OCCUR. IT'S STANDS TRUE FOR THE M N O SIDE OF THE TAX RATE AS WELL. SO CURRENT AUTHORIZATION. IN 2019. WE HAD A BOND. ALL FIVE ITEMS OF THAT BOND PASSED SUCCESSFULLY OF $350 MILLION ON THE SCREEN. YOU SEE THOSE DIFFERENT ISSUANCES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, MUNICIPAL COMPLEX PARKS AND REC, PUBLIC WORKS AND STREETS. RIGHT NOW. WE'VE ISSUED ABOUT $165 MILLION OF THAT BOND , AND WE HAVE ABOUT $185 MILLION REMAINING. YOU'LL SEE THE LARGEST SCOPE OF WHAT'S REMAINING IS IN STREETS AND THEN IN PUBLIC SAFETY, SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE NEW FIRE FACILITY COMING ON. AND THEN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT STREETS QUITE A BIT OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND WE KNOW WHAT OUR STATUS IS THERE ON STREETS THAT SAID WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH A LITTLE OVER. EXCUSE ME, UM A LITTLE OVER HALF OR A LITTLE UNDER HALF
[01:05:05]
WAY THROUGH WHERE, UM THAT TOTAL AUTHORIZATION FROM THE VOTERS IS AND AT THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME IN 2018 WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THE 2019 BOND, WE WERE RELATIVELY IN THE SAME SCOPE OF FUNDING DRAWDOWN FROM THE BOND THAT WE HAD DONE IN 2015. SO ALL THAT TO SAY WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK WITH THE SEQUENCING THAT WE GENERALLY DO FOR THESE TYPES OF DISCUSSIONS FROM EVERY 4 TO 5 YEARS. TURN THAT BACK. SO HOW MUCH DO WE HAVE LEFT IN THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX ISSUED ALL OF IT AT THIS POINT. OF THE $50 MILLION THE VOTERS AUTHORIZED IN 2019. BUT WE HAVE A SPIN IT JUST ISSUED ISSUED, OKAY? AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT. AUTHORIZATION AND ISSUANCE ARE NOT THE SAME THING . THE VOTERS OF AUTHORIZED US TO ISSUE UP TO $350 MILLION TO THIS POINT. WE HAVE ONLY ISSUED MEANING. WE HAVE ACTUALLY GONE TO THE BANK AND SAID CAN WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR 165 MILLION OF THAT 350 MILLION, SO HOW FAST ARE WE GOING TO SPEND THAT 50 MILLION IF WE'VE ALREADY ISSUED IT? IF BARRY HAS HIS WAY, IT WILL BE FULLY SPENT WITHIN THE NEXT 18 TO 24 MONTHS. IT WILL BE. WE'LL BE BRINGING AN ITEM TO THE CITY COUNCIL NEXT MONTH FOR THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR CITY HALL, WHICH WOULD BE THE ENTIRETY OF THAT $50 MILLION. SO YES, WE ISSUED JUST THIS SUMMER AND PLAN TO GET THOSE DOLLARS SPENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. GREAT. AND ON CONSENT. THIS EVENING, THERE'S A GOOD $700,000 OF THAT 50 MILLION COMING OUT AS WELL. JUST FOR YOU KNOW, GIGGLES. UM TO THAT POINT KIND OF TURNING THE PAGE ON THAT THAT'S WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THE 2019 BOND. WE'RE STILL WORKING TOWARDS ON THE 2019 BOND . HOWEVER AS WE KNOW, AND WE HEAR DURING BUDGET PROCESSES YOU ALL HERE IN THE COMMUNITY. I'M SURE WE DO HAVE UNFUNDED PROJECT AREAS. UM, AND WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE BONNIE CAPACITY OVER AND ABOVE. THE BONDING CAPACITY THAT WE DISCUSSED FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO. SO AN ESTIMATED TOTAL OF OUR UNFUNDED PROJECTS IS RIGHT AT HALF A BILLION DOLLARS $477 MILLION. THE MAJOR PROJECTS THAT YOU SEE HERE THE FIRST THREE BULLETS I WON'T GET INTO BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A FEW SLIDES ABOUT AIRPORT NEEDS OR REQUESTS OR UNFUNDED AIRPORT PROJECTS. YOU SEE A COUPLE OF THOSE LARGE HIGH DOLLAR TICKET ITEMS ON BULLETS 45 AND SIX WITH MUNICIPAL COURT FACILITY. A COUPLE OF FUTURE FIRE STATIONS AND THEN QUITE A BIT OF FUNDING AND STREETS. THAT'S NOT TO INCLUDE MONEY THAT IS UNDERNEATH THAT 477 MILLION FOR OTHER FACILITIES FOR OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY FOR PARKS PROJECTS. THESE ARE JUST THE HIGH DOLLAR TICKET ITEMS THAT WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING HERE, SO THIS ISN'T EVERYTHING.IT'S JUST THE ONES THAT KIND OF HAVE THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. SO I'LL POINT OUT AGAIN.
THAT'S RIGHT AT HALF A BILLION DOLLARS OF UNFUNDED PROJECTS OR PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED OR BEING FORECASTED FOR NEED IN THE OUT YEARS. SO WE MARRY THAT UP WITH OKAY. WHAT CAN WE AFFORD TO PAY FOR IF WE WERE TO, UM LOOK AT OUR 10 YEAR CAPACITY ON A DEBT ISSUANCE SIDE AT THE MAIN AT THE CURRENT INS RATE, OR THE CURRENT DEBT CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE ON THE DEBT SIDE OF THE TAX RATE. WHAT DOES THAT DOLLAR FIGURE GIVE US AND THAT NUMBER IS ROUGHLY $687 MILLION OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. IN 2018. WE CAME BEFORE YOU AND WE SAID, HEY, IT'S RIGHT AT 500 MILLION, SO WE SEE THAT INCREASE OCCURRING OR MANAGING THE DEBT? YOU'RE OVER YEAR WE ONLY ISSUE WHAT WE NEED, UM, AND IN A GIVEN YEAR, TWO YEAR PERIOD SO THAT WE'RE NOT DRAWING DOWN ALL OF OUR DEBT AND PULLING DOWN ALL OF OUR CAPACITY IN ONE GIVEN YEAR. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S UM STEADY OVER THE YEARS. IT'S JUST GOOD. FINANCIAL PRUDENCE. UM BUT WE HAVE GROWN IN VALUES, WHICH IS IN A SECRET TO ANYBODY THAT'S PAYING ATTENTION IN THE ROOM OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT HALF A MILLION DOLLAR HALF A BILLION THAT WE DISCUSSED IN 2018 HAS KIND OF BALLOONED UP TO 6 87 700 MILLION AND 2022 AT OUR CURRENT PROJECTION, SO THAT'S FROM 2023 INTO THE TWENTIES THIRTIES. SO IS EXCUSE ME. SO IF INTEREST RATES KEEP GOING UP AND THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO COME DOWN. RELATIVELY SPEAKING, UM, DUE TO OUR BONDING CAPACITY DUE TO OUR BOND RATING. ANY SHIFT IS THE MINIMUS AS IT RELATES TO THE TOTAL CAPACITY, BUT YOU COULD SEE AS SHIFT OF MAYBE $10 MILLION UP OR DOWN BASED ON INTEREST RATES. HALLWAYS HERE AS A RESOURCE WITNESS. LET ME JUST ADDRESS THAT THAT 6 87 IS BASED AT A LOT HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN WE'RE CURRENTLY SEEING. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CAPACITY, IT'S A IT'S A FUNCTION OF ABOUT
[01:10:05]
FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT VARIABLES . INTEREST RATES, ONE OF THEM, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT THE BIGGEST VARIABLE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TO GET THE CAPACITY, BUT IT'S THAT IS BASED AT A HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEING OR ANTICIPATE SEEING IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. MR HOLLOWAY, THE TWO BULLETS YOU SEE WHEN IT WHEN IT SAYS THAT IT ASSUMES NO FUTURE DEBT ISSUANCE THAT MEANS OVER AND ABOVE WHAT'S ALREADY ON THE BOOKS. SO FOR INSTANCE, WE'VE ALREADY ALLOCATED THE $350 MILLION IN THIS PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WE HAVE CAPACITY OF 687 MILLION, BUT IT DOESN'T ANTICIPATE. MORE COMING ON ON BOARD. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS WHAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT I WANT TO DO IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IN ANTICIPATION OF A POTENTIAL 2023 BOND ELECTION AS SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO ONE ITEM PRIMARILY WHICH BURIAL GET INTO HERE IN A FEW SECONDS, UM, AND ALSO MAINTAINS THE INS RATE FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. WE KNOW OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST A BASE VALUATION OF 10% GROWTH BASED ON WHAT WE SAW FROM THE CAD THIS LAST YEAR, THE CENTRAL PRISON DISTRICT BEING WHAT OUR HISTORY IS HERE IN MCKINNEY AND IN NORTH TEXAS AT LARGE, THERE'S A LIKELIHOOD THAT WE'LL HAVE CONTINUED VALUATION GROWTH AT AT LEAST MAINTAINING OF OUR EVALUATION IN THAT 10 YEAR PERIOD. SO THIS ASSUMPTION ALSO INCLUDES A MAINTAINING OF THAT INS RATE OR THE RATE SO THERE'S NO TAX INCREASE ASSUMED THERE IS A VALUATION INCREASE, BUT NO TAX RATE INCREASE. THAT SAID, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME BIG TICKET ITEMS HERE IN A FEW SLIDES, AND WE MENTIONED THOSE FIRST THREE BULLETS AS IT RELATES TO THE AIRPORT. WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. HEY, YOU GOT YOU KNOW, ROUGHLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS OF REQUESTS OUT THERE FROM THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FOR OUR NEEDS. UM WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO OUR CAPACITY IF WE HAD A FAIRLY LARGE DEBT SALE OR LARGE ELECTION ITEM IN 2023? SO THIS IS KIND OF I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, BUT THE SCENARIO IN WHICH WE WOULD ISSUES AS MUCH DEBT AS POSSIBLE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AS POSSIBLE IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. SO IF WE WERE TO SAY, LET'S USE UP OUR FULL CAPACITY IN 2023. WE HAD A PROJECT THAT WE WANT TO DEFUND. WE WANTED TO IMMEDIATELY ISSUE THE DEBT FOR IT, AND WE WANTED TO HIT GO. UM WE COULD ISSUE WITHOUT RAISING THE TAX RATE THE I N S SIDE OF THE TAX RATE. ROUGHLY $175 MILLION THAT AGAIN FLUCTUATES BASED ON WHAT THE VALUES ON THE GROUND ARE IN A GIVEN YEAR, AND WE'RE ESTIMATING A LITTLE BIT, BUT ROUGHLY $175 MILLION COULD BE ISSUED WITHOUT AN IMPACT TO THE TAX RATE OR OTHER PROJECTS IN 2023. THAT WOULD LEAVE US REMAINING WITH ABOUT A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS OF CAPACITY AFTER THAT ISSUANCE IF IT WERE TO OCCUR IN A FUTURE YEAR, I BRING UP THAT UP TO SAY. WE STILL GIVEN WHAT MAY BE A LARGE PROJECT THAT'S BEING DISCUSSED HERE IN A FEW SLIDES. WE'RE GOING TO STILL HAVE EXCESS CAPACITY TO TOUCH BASED ON OTHER PROJECTS IN FUTURE YEARS. SHOULD WE WANT TO COME BACK AND DO A MORE TRADITIONAL DEBT PROGRAM FOR KIND OF THE BLOCKING AND TACKLING TYPE PROJECTS THAT WE DO ON THOSE FIVE YEAR CYCLES LIKE FACILITIES STREETS, ETCETERA. SO I'LL PAUSE THERE. THAT'S THAT'S THE END OF THE FIRST HALF OF MY PART BEFORE I HAND IT BACK OVER TO BARRY AND KIN. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING JUST THE GENERAL SUMMARY OF OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AS IT RELATES TO DEBT? THE 1 75 IS. MAXING IT OUT. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR THAT. WELL WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IN THE BOND COMMITTEE PROCESS. THERE COULD BE A SITUATION WHERE THE COMMITTEE SAYS, YEAH, WE THINK THAT THESE PROJECTS COULD GO UP TO 175 MILLION OR HIGHER AGAIN. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF RECOMMENDATION COMES BACK AND SAYS, HEY, WE WANT TO DO 200 THAT CAUSES THIS RATE TO INCREASE. I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT THE 1 75 IS JUST A HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO OF WHAT THE MAXIMUM AT THE CURRENT RATE IS. SO LET'S SAY. YOU. YOU YOU ALL ASKED, OR IT WAS ASKED FOR 1 75 WITH THE COMMITTEES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND, UM SO WE BASICALLY MAXED IT OUT. SO IF ANY OTHER PROJECTS COME DO THINGS LIKE THAT. IN THE IN THAT OFFICE FOR THAT YEAR, AND THAT ONE FISCAL YEAR IT'S BEEN YOU. YOU'VE MET YOUR CAPACITY FOR THAT ONE FISCAL YEAR AND THE FOLLOWING FISCAL RELATIONS COME DOWN NOW YOU'RE OVER THE CAPACITY. YOU COULD BE. BUT AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, WE HAVEN'T SEEN A SCENARIO WHERE VALUES HAVE COME DOWN SINCE 2000 AND WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VALUE INCREASES OF AT LEAST 10% OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, SO THAT THAT'S UNLIKELY. UM ALSO MENTIONED WE ISSUE THESE AND REQUEST THE COUNSEL TO GIVE US AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE THESE IN A VERY CONSERVATIVE FASHION. SO[01:15:03]
EVEN THOUGH WE MAY HAVE AUTHORIZATION FOR A GIVEN DEBT PRO PROGRAM IN A FUTURE YEAR IF WE'RE GONNA FINANCIAL CONDITION WHERE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR US TO GO OUT AND ISSUE 100 $175 MILLION. WE'RE NOT GOING TO COME TO THE COUNCIL AND SAY, HEY, LET'S RAISE THE TAX RATE BY FIVE CENTS AN ISSUE THIS HAS THE COUNCIL EVER APPROVED MAXING OUT IN ANY GIVEN YEAR, THEIR BOND CAPACITY. I COULDN'T SPEAK TO THAT. I'M SURE IN PREVIOUS COUNCILS, THERE'S LIKELY BEEN ONE OFF DEBT ISSUANCES THAT HE HAD AUTHORIZATION FOR ONE SPECIFIC ITEM. MAYBE IT WAS $10 MILLION, AND WE ISSUED ALL IN ONE YEAR, BUT I'M NOT. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT WITH ANY TALKING ABOUT MAXING IT OUT TO WHERE YOU BASICALLY YOU HIT THE MAXIMUM THAT YOU CAN'T BORROW ANY MORE MONEY WITHOUT RAISING. A TAX RATE WE HAVE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER OF WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO. BUT BUT SO THE ANSWER FROM HOLLOWAY'S NO. WE HAVE NEVER EVEN COME CLOSE TO THAT. SO THIS SCENARIO THAT HE'S PUT ON THE SLIDE HERE AS IF WE WERE TO SAY THAT YEAR ONE WORK. WE HAVE AUTHORIZATION FOR 175 MILLION.WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE 175 MILLION IN ONE YEAR. TYPICALLY BOND ELECTION GIVES US AUTHORIZATION FOR MORE OF A FIVE YEAR PLAN AND WE, WE TARGET DIFFERENT PROJECTS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THAT FIVE YEAR PLAN. SO DO WE COME OUT AND SAY 175 AND YEAR ONE. THAT'S THE MAX FOR THAT YEAR, OR DO WE SAY LET'S DO 50 YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS. THAT'S MORE LIKELY. WHAT HE SAID IS WHAT I FIGURED OUT IS I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY COUNCIL HAS SAID LET'S MAX IT OUT FOR THAT YEAR. AND THAT'S BOTHERING ME. THAT BOTHERS ME TO BE ON A COUNCIL HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO. THE MAIN POINT OF THE SLIDE IS JUST TO LET THE COUNCIL NO. YOU HAVE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF CAPACITY. IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE INTEND TO DO THESE THINGS. IT'S TO LET YOU KNOW THAT EVEN IF YOU WERE TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS THAT DRASTIC, IT WAS THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTION IN A FUTURE YEAR TO DO SO. YOU WOULD STILL HAVE HALF A BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS TO ADDRESS ALL OF OUR OTHER NEEDS BECAUSE OF THE FORTUNATE FINANCIAL SITUATION, WE FIND OURSELVES IN A MCKINNEY OKAY? BUT THANK YOU. BALI OVER TO MR SHELTON. ACTUALLY, KIDS GET OKAY? GOOD AFTERNOON HEARD TOWN . MEMBERS OF COUNCIL CAN CARLY REPORT DIRECTOR, SO I'M GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE AIRPORT.
AH! IN RELATION TO THIS. PROJECT SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE IS A PREFERRED MASTER PLAN CONCEPT. IT'S BASICALLY THE PLANNING DOCUMENT DIAGRAM FROM OUR MOST RECENT MASTER PLAN UPDATE IN 2019. AND THE MASTER PLAN KIND OF PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR, UM WHAT'S NEEDED TO GUIDE THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AIRPORT. AND IT KIND OF BREAKS DOWN PROJECTS INTO SHORT, MID AND LONG TERM BEING 0 TO 5 YEARS FOR SHORT MINUTES. 5 TO 10 LONGER TERM 10 TO 20 YEAR PROJECTS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SLIDE. THE PROJECTS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT, WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DIAGRAM OR FAIRLY WELL DEFINED. IN TERMS OF WHAT? HOW HOW THE PROPERTY WILL LIKELY DEVELOP FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF AERONAUTICAL USE. THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT IS MORE VAGUE WITH THE TERMINAL IDENTIFIED AND THEN LARGE SWATHS OF PROPERTY JUST REALLY IDENTIFIED AS FUTURE AVIATION RESERVE. AND SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. NOW YOU'VE HEARD ME REPORT ON IS A UM, PRETTY PHENOMENAL RATE OF GROWTH AT THE AIRPORT. WE ARE TO THE POINT, I THINK ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT WHERE WE HAVE THREE PARCELS LEFT THAT ARE PROBABLY IN TOTAL, MAYBE 45 ACRES OF LAND, AND WE'RE STARTING TO SEE INTEREST IN PROJECTS THAT, UM, REQUIRE LARGER PARCELS OF LAND TO DEVELOP. AND SO WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT.
AND THAT REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO LOOK AT ANY TYPES OF PROJECTS. FOR EXAMPLE, A PARALLEL TAXIWAY ON THE EAST SIDE THAT WOULD PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY FOR ANY TYPE OF AERONAUTICAL DEVELOPMENT ON ON THE EAST SIDE IS PROBABLY IN AND OF ITSELF. A $33 MILLION PROJECT. DEPENDENT ON WHEN WE STARTED AND HOW WE FACE IT. AND THEN THERE'S THE ISSUES OF CONNECTIVITY FROM THE LANDSIDE FOR SURFACE TRANSPORTATION. SO WE START STARTING TO SEE DEMAND FOR PROJECTS, UM, THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE ON THE WEST SIDE. WE NEED TO START LOOKING MORE FAVORABLY OR MORE SERIOUSLY, MORE DETAILED AT DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT.
AND AGAIN KIND OF BACK TO, UM, WHAT BARRY DISCUSSED INITIALLY MAXIMIZING THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT IS ONE OF THE CITY'S STRATEGIC GOALS. AND WE FEEL
[01:20:02]
LIKE, UM YOU KNOW THE PROJECT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE TONIGHT IS A, UM, WELL ALIGNED WITH THAT GOAL. MORE SPECIFICALLY A SUB GOAL THAT IS TO IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES AND STRATEGIES, INCLUDING PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO ATTRACTING EXPAND CORPORATE AND COMMERCIAL AVIATION, INCLUDING THE VIABILITY OF PASSENGER SERVICE, WHICH PASSENGER SERVICE IS ON OUR MASTER PLAN. IN FACT, IT'S BEEN ON OUR MASTER PLAN SINCE 2012 WHEN WE STARTED TO LOOK AT THE EXPANDING DEVELOPMENT. OF THE AIRPORT ONTO THE EAST SIDE. IF YOU RECALL TWO IN DECEMBER OF 2020, WE DEVELOPED SOME GUIDING PRINCIPLES TO HELP US KIND OF PROVIDE A ROADMAP FOR HOW WE WOULD DEVELOP THE AIRPORT. UM. AND WE FEEL THAT FIRST TWO GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE LANDED ON ARE ALSO WELL ALIGNED WITH THIS INITIATIVE TO MAXIMIZE THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE AIRPORT TO THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE CITY AND THE REGION. AND TO DEVELOP THE INFRASTRUCTURE, BASICALLY WITH THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF AIRPORT PROPERTIES AND ASSETS. SO WE TOOK SOME ACTION IN JANUARY. 2020 22 TO REALLY START TO LOOK MORE DETAILED AT THE EAST SIDE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE OF THOSE FACILITIES AND REALLY INITIATED TWO PROJECTS, ONE WITH GARVER, WHICH IS BASICALLY ADDRESSING ALL THESE BULLET ITEMS THAT YOU SEE HERE. ASSESSMENT OF THE EAST SIDE PROPERTIES. A PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DESIGNS PRELIMINARY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS, LOOKING AT THE DEMAND FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT AND THE PROFITABILITY OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS, HOW HE WOULD FUND THEM WHAT PORTIONS OF PROJECTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR GRANTS. AND WHAT PORTIONS OF PROJECTS. WE MAY SEEK DIFFERENT TYPES OF FEDERAL LOANS AND THEN LOOKING AT THE MOST, UH, ADVANTAGEOUS FINANCIAL MODELS FOR HOW TO FUND IT AND GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE TONIGHT. WITHOUT I WILL BRING UP VERY BACKUP TO TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES ON MCKINNEY. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE BOND ELECTION. AND, UM THAT REALLY TO MY WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO THE COUNCILS THAT WE WOULD APPOINTING A BOND COMMITTEE THAT WOULD HELP US TO WEED THROUGH PROJECTS. UH THAT WE WOULD TAKE TO THE VOTERS NEXT YEAR AND ASKED FOR THEIR AUTHORIZATION FOR BONDING. UM WHY NOW? WHY? WHY THE AIRPORT AT THIS TIME WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES. THERE WERE SEEING IT NOT JUST PRESSURES BUT OPPORTUNITIES AT THE AIRPORT. SO WITH MCKINNEY, ONE OF OUR ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SETS US APART FROM SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES, OR ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES, THERE'S REALLY TWO THINGS THAT MAKE US DIFFERENT. ONE WOULD BE OUR DOWNTOWN SQUARE . WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL, HISTORIC DOWNTOWN THAT OUR NEIGHBOR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RECREATE FOR FOREVER, AND YOU SEE THAT WITH A LOT OF THEM MORE. MODERN LEGACY DEVELOPMENTS AND THINGS OVER THE START WHATNOT. THE OTHER THING THAT REALLY SETS US APART AND HAS BEEN KIND OF A STRATEGIC GOAL OF THE CITY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS IS MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. IT'S BEEN CALLED DIFFERENT THINGS COLLIN COUNTY REGIONAL OR MCKINNEY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT BACK IN THE DAY, BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS LONG TERM OPPORTUNITY FOR MCKINNEY TO REALLY MAKE SOMETHING THAT'S A BIG IMPACT ON THE REGION. BIG IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY A BIG IMPACT ON THE CITY. AND SO WE'RE KIND OF AT THE CONFLUENCE OF OPPORTUNITIES HERE BECAUSE OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE GROWTH CYCLE FOR THE REGION AND WHERE WE ARE WITH SOME OF THE PLANNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING. AS WE SPEAK. SO THIS IS A DIAGRAM FROM THE TEXT THAT WEBSITE THAT SHOWS THAT THEY WEREN'T ALTERNATIVE AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 3 80 BYPASS. ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF THAT HAS BEEN THE SPUR 3 99. UH ALIGNMENT AND WE'RE LOOKING TO GET TO A POINT WHERE THEY SELECT THE FINAL ALIGNMENT. BUT THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT EXTENDS THE SAME RAYBURN TOLLWAY OR 1 21 UP CYBER 3 99 AS A FREEWAY AND AROUND THE AIRPORT AND TYING INTO 3 80, ULTIMATELY TO THE EAST WEST LOCATION OF THAT BYPASS, THAT'S A BIG DEAL TO MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT OVERLAY THAT ALIGNMENT OF THAT ROADWAY, YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT OPENS UP OPPORTUNITIES AT THE AIRPORT THAT WEREN'T REALLY THERE BEFORE . RIGHT NOW TO GET TO THAT EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT. YOU'RE LOOKING AT 5 46, WHICH IS A TWO LANE ROAD ONCE YOU GET OUT TO THAT POINT, HARRY MCKISSIC YOU GET OUT AROUND THE SOUTH, AND IT TURNED INTO A TWO LANE ROAD AND THEN MORE INTO A RURAL HIGHWAY. WELL THAT'S GONNA CEASE TO BE A RURAL HIGHWAY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A FREEWAY IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING THE PLANS AS A CITY TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT OPPORTUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PREPARING OURSELVES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND WHEN I PUT PRESSURES ON HERE, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES.[01:25:01]
YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE OWN AND WHAT WE DON'T OWN IS PROBABLY EVEN MORE TELLING. INSIDE THAT LOOP FREEWAY. WE DO OWN A GOOD PORTION OF THAT EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T OWN ALL OF IT. NOT SAYING WE INTEND TO OWN ALL OF IT, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE AIRPORT LONG TERM AS THE ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN PROPOSED TO BE FOR MCKINNEY. WE DON'T WANT TO BE ADDISON. AIRPORTS ARE GREAT AIRPORT IS VERY SUCCESSFUL. BUT IF YOU GO DOWN THERE, IT'S VERY HINDEN BY THE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED AROUND IT, SO THEY HAVE THEIR SORT OF OUT OF OPPORTUNITIES. WITHOUT REDEVELOPMENT, DEMOLITION AND RECONSTRUCTING SOME OF THE SITES . THERE. WE HAVE AN AIRPORT THAT HAS A BETTER RUNWAY AND A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY THAN WHAT THEY HAVE THERE, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF OPEN LAND TODAY WHEN THIS FREEWAY COMES IN, AND THE WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE GETS BUILT. WE CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO A LOT OF THIS. SO WE WANT TO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE WITH OUR OPPORTUNITIES BEING CAPITALIZED SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THE MOST OF MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT SO WE'RE NOT KICKING OURSELVES. AND, YOU KNOW, 10 2030 YEARS, SAYING IF ONLY WE HAD TAKEN ACTION AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. WE THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AS A CITY AND WE THINK IT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO COME FORWARD AND START HAVING THIS CONVERSATION TO HAVE A BOND COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT WHAT IS POSSIBLE AND TO HELP US CONSIDER WHAT TO TAKE TO THE VOTERS FOR AUTHORIZATION. I THINK WE HAVE A COMPELLING STORY THAT THE VOTERS WILL TAKE SERIOUS INTEREST IN AND SEE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY HAPPENED IN BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AIRPORT . SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE FUNDED CURRENTLY WITHOUT ANY BOND AUTHORIZATION. SO THESE ARE THINGS LIKE A 1500 FT RUNWAY EXTENSION 500 FT. TO THE SOUTH 1000 FT TO THE NORTH. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. HOPEFULLY CONSTRUCTION ON THAT SOUTH END AND WHEN THAT'S DONE WELL. TURN AROUND AND BUILD THE 1000 FT TO THE NORTH, AND THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US A RUNWAY THAT'S CAPABLE OF LANDING HALL OF THE CORPORATE JETS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AT OUR AIRPORT AND HOPEFULLY ATTRACTING MORE TO OUR AIRPORT. THAT'S BOTH. REVENUE FROM FUEL SALES AND HANGER RENTALS, BUT ALSO ADD THE LURE. UM FOR BASED AIRCRAFT FOR CORPORATE CURRENTLY WE DO HAVE A LOT OF CORPORATE AIRCRAFT HERE. BUT WHEN IT GETS TO BE 105 DEGREES, WHICH, AS WE SAW THIS SUMMER IS A LOT THOSE AIRCRAFT WHO WANT TO TAKE OFF FROM MCKINNEY AND TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY. THEY CAN'T TAKE ON A FUEL FULL FUEL LOAD THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO GET OVER TO ASIA. OR SOUTH AMERICA WITHOUT ANOTHER STOP, IF WE CAN PROVIDE THE RUNWAY THAT ALLOWS THAT WE THINK THAT MAKES US MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR CORPORATE AIRCRAFT TO LOCATE HERE IN MCKINNEY, SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS. THE GREEN NUMBER THREE IS A TAXIWAY, A RELOCATION THAT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF BOWING THAT FIRST TAXIWAY OUT, PROVIDING MORE RAMP SPACE AS WE ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE TRAFFIC. WE NEED MORE RAMP SPACE FOR THOSE BASED AND CHARTER AIRCRAFT COMING INTO THE AIRPORT. NUMBER FIVE IS THIS SERIOUS? MRO FACILITY, WHICH WERE NEGOTIATING CURRENTLY WITH SERIOUS WHICH IS A PRIVATE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A MAINTENANCE REPAIR AND OVERHAUL FACILITY FOR THEIR AIRCRAFT. IT WOULD BE A SITE LOCATED RIGHT BY THE FIRE STATION AS YOU'RE COMING INTO THE AIRPORT FIRE STATIONS RIGHT THERE. THEY WOULD HAVE A PUBLIC FACING SIDE AS WELL AS AN AIRPORT AIRSIDE. FOR THEIR MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP. WE'RE ALSO WORKING CURRENTLY STATION JUST FOR THE IS IT FOR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, OR IS IT THAT IS FIRE STATION FOR IT IS BOTH THE FIRE STATION FOR THE AIRPORT WITH THE OUR FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT, BUT IT ALSO HAS AN ENGINE, THEREFORE, SURROUNDING FOR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, SO IT SERVES A DUAL PURPOSE. AS WE EXPAND. WE MAY HAVE TO BUILD, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAY BE INCLUDED BY THE BOND COMMITTEE. WE MAY HAVE TO BUILD A DEDICATED OUR STATION IF WE GROW INTO AN AIRPORT THAT REQUIRES SUCH RIGHT NOW WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED. TO OPERATE AND TO EXPAND. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW BIG AND HOW FAST WE GROW. UH SIX AND SEVEN OR A KIND OF A COMBO THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH GRIFFIN SWIM TURTON RIGHT NOW ON A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. THE U. S CUSTOMS BUILDING WOULD BE LOCATED RIGHT IN THIS AREA HERE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE US CUSTOMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS WITH THESE CORPORATE AIRCRAFT LAND FROM ASIA, EUROPE, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE TRAVELING INTERNATIONALLY. THEY CURRENTLY OPERATE OUT OF OUR FBO TERMINAL , WHICH IS LESS THAN DESIRABLE FOR US AND REALLY, REALLY LESS THAN DESIRABLE FOR THE CUSTOMS VOTES. THEY ARE. PROPOSING ABOUT A 10,500 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY FOR THAT WITH RAMP SPACE AND THEN EIGHT, WHICH IS PARTNERED WITH THAT PRIVATE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IS A MERE IMAGE OF OUR LATEST HANGAR HERE ON THE SOUTH END, WHICH IS CORP NINE. THIS WOULD BE CORP TIN HANGER.ANOTHER 40,000 SQUARE FEET OF LEASABLE SPACE FOR AIRCRAFT WITH OFFICE SPACE AND SOME GARAGE
[01:30:03]
SPACE. WE FEEL AS SOON AS WE BUILD THAT IT WILL BE FULL WITHIN 60 DAYS BECAUSE WE HAVESE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT , POTENTIALLY TAKEN TO THE VOTERS ARE THESE THINGS THAT ARE THE UNFUNDED PROJECTS. SO LIKE KEN MENTIONED AND EACH SIDE TAXIWAY WHICH WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE AIRCRAFT TO AND FROM HANGERS, TERMINALS OR WHATNOT. EAST SIDE RAMP SPACE MUCH LIKE WE ARE EXPANDING THE RAMP SPACE OVER HERE. THERE IS A NEED ON THIS SIDE FOR RAMP SPACE ACCESS ROADS, UTILITIES HANGERS, TERMINAL BUILDING. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE WIND IS THAT THE IDEA OF A COMMERCIAL TERMINAL VIABLE AT MCKINNEY. WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE WHEN WE CAN MAKE THAT A POSSIBILITY. BUT IT'S NOT A POSSIBILITY IF WE DON'T PLAN IN ADVANCE. AH, THERE'S THE ARF STATION. I WAS MENTIONING, POTENTIALLY. IF WE BUILD ON THE EAST SIDE THERE MAY BE IN NEED FOR NORTH STATION. FURTHER OUR EQUIPMENT. ARF IS THE AIRPORT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING. THAT'S THE BIG TRUCK WITH THE CANNON THAT SHOOTS THE FOAM ONTO AIRCRAFT FIRES. REALLY I GOT TO TAKE A RIDE, AND IT WAS THERE'S STILL A LITTLE PART OF A LITTLE BOY IN ME THAT JUST LOVES THAT KIND OF THING. AND THEN FUEL TANK EXPANSION. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A FUEL FARM OVER HERE ON THE WEST SIDE. AND AS WE GROW OVER HERE, RATHER THAN FERRY FUEL AROUND THE AIRFIELD, IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO LOOK AT BUILDING ONE OF THOSE ON THE EAST SIDE AS WELL. SO WITH THIS, LIKE I SAID, IT'S A CONFLUENCE OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAKE THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PUBLIC SO DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THESE ARE REALLY TWO IMAGES OF THE SAME THING. SO THE NUMBERS ON BOTH IMAGES ARE THE SAME. SO THIS IS REALLY WHERE WE ARE TODAY. 12 AND THREE ON THE WEST SIDE OR OPPORTUNITIES. LIKE KEN WAS MENTIONING THAT'S LESS THAN PROBABLY AROUND 40 ACRES OF DEVELOPABLE LAND, SO WE HAVE SOME KIND OF PAD SITES HERE. THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR FUTURE CORPORATE HANGERS. WE HAVE AN OPEN AREA HERE, WHICH WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON, AND I MISSED IT NUMBER SEVEN HERE. SIX AND 10. YEAH SEVEN. THERE YOU GO . SEVEN IS A MAINTENANCE BUILDING. FUNNY THEY CALL IT AN SRE OR SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT FACILITY. AIRPORT TERM PROBABLY NOT REALLY GERMANE TO TEXAS AIRPORTS, BUT IT IS A MAINTENANCE BUILDING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH ACROSS LAND CONSTRUCTION DAY TO GET BUILT. BUT AS WE GO FORWARD AND WE BUILD THAT FACILITY THAT WOULD OPEN UP THIS AREA HERE. THERE IS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL TAXIWAYS AND RAMP SPACE FOR THIS. THIS COULD BE FUTURE CORPORATE LARGE CORPORATE AVIATION. BUT MUCH LIKE WE HAVE HERE WITH T I AND TOYOTA MAYBE VERY ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THOSE TYPES OF USES. AND THREE YOU CAN SEE IT BETTER OVER HERE IS A LARGE TRACT OF LAND. THAT WE ARE MARKETING AS A LARGE OPPORTUNITY IF WE HAD A LARGE MRO FACILITY OR WE'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE APPROACH US ABOUT FREIGHT AIRCRAFT. WE'VE HAD PEOPLE APPROACH US ABOUT MAJOR, UM CORPORATE PRIVATE JET MANUFACTURING TYPE USES ON THAT PROPERTY, SO WE DO HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES ON THE WEST SIDE.BUT IF WE DON'T PLAN AHEAD THEN WE MISSED THIS BIG OPPORTUNITY ON THE BIGGER THE PROPERTY THAT THE CITY PURCHASE SEVERAL YEARS BACK, WHICH IS HERE ON THE EAST SIDE, AND THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES, BUT A LOT OF NEEDS IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAKE IT VIABLE FOR USE SO THOSE ARE REALLY THE REASONS WERE COMING BEFORE THE COUNCIL TONIGHT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT A POTENTIAL BOND ELECTION. THE OPPORTUNITY IS TO TODAY TO START THE PROCESS BY APPOINTING A BOND COMMITTEE AND TREVOR IS GOING TO STEP THROUGH KIND OF THE PROPOSED TIMELINE AND NEXT STEPS TO GET THAT BOND COMMITTEE IN PLACE. START HAVING THOSE MEETINGS AND THEN HAVE THEM MAKE A PROPOSAL BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON WHICH PROJECTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND HOW MUCH WE SHOULD ASK THE VOTERS. FOR APPROVAL OF SO I WILL SAY, BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE FIRST COMMENT OR PHONE CALL. I GET FROM CITIZENS, THEY'LL SAY IN 2015. WE PROPOSED A $50 MILLION BOND FOR THE AIRPORT, AND IT FAILED. IN 2015 . WE KIND OF ASK THE CITIZENS GIVE US $50 MILLION FOR STUFF AT THE AIRPORT. WE WERE REALLY SPECIFIC. WE DIDN'T HAVE A REAL PLAN IN PLACE TO ASK THEM FOR WHAT THAT WOULD BE. WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT MCKINNEY AIRPORT WAS ACTUALLY IN WESTERN MCKINNEY, WHICH IS A PRIVATE AIRPORT THAT WE DO NOT OWN AND DO NOT OPERATE, BUT PEOPLE WERE NOT AWARE EVEN THAT WE HAD THE AIRPORT ON THE EAST SIDE. SO THE EFFORT. IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THE BOND COMMITTEE IS TO SELECT THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS BE VERY PUBLIC AND TRANSPARENT WITH WHAT THOSE PROJECTS ARE AND HOW THE MONEY IS GOING TO BE SPENT AND TALK ABOUT TIMELINES AND REALLY SPEAK TO THE BENEFIT TO THE CITIZENS THEMSELVES. RIGHT NOW, MCKINNEY NATIONALS AND AIRPORT THAT IS FOR KIND OF A BUNCH OF RICH GUYS WHO HAVE BIG JETS THAT
[01:35:05]
FLY IN AND OUT. IT'S A BENEFIT TO THE CITY. BUT A LOT OF OUR CITIZENS DON'T SEE THAT BENEFIT.WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TELL THAT STORY BETTER. HOW IT BENEFITS ISN'T BENEFITS US IN TERMS OF TAX BASE FOR THE CITIZENS SO THAT WE CAN DO OTHER THINGS, BUT ALSO COULD BE A SERVICE CENTER WHERE PEOPLE HAVE A BENEFIT OF ACTUALLY USING MCKINNEY NATIONAL IN THE FUTURE. SO ALL OF THAT BEING SAID I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO TREVOR. HE IS GOING TO GO THROUGH TIMELINES AND WHERE WE ARE AND HOW WE GET THIS BOND COMMITTEE SET UP AND THEN WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. TREVOR. THANK YOU, BARRY. SO AS BARRY MENTIONED JUST A QUICK LOOK AT THE CALENDAR OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IF WE WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN. HOW IT WOULD LOOK, UM TODAY. SEPTEMBER 6TH IS KIND OF THE UNVEILING OF.
HEY, WE'RE WE HAVE THIS IDEA OF WHAT SAY YOU, COUNSEL? IF YOU WANTED US TO MOVE FORWARD, WE WOULD RECOMMEND I HAVE SEPTEMBER 20TH ON THERE IS A PLACEHOLDER THAT MAY GET PUSHED TO THE 27TH JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE A FAIRLY LARGE CONFERENCE THAT BARRY IS GOING TO BE AT. I'M GOING TO BE AT A FEW OF US ARE GOING TO BE AT SO THE 27TH IS A WORK SESSION NIGHT. WE WOULD RECOMMEND CONVERTING TO A SPECIAL MEETING. IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD, THAT WOULD BE WHERE WE RECOMMEND THE COUNCIL APPOINTS MEMBERS TO THE BOND COMMITTEE. NOW THEY MAY NOT SHAKE OUT INTO THEIR SUBCOMMITTEES AT THAT POINT, BUT JUST GENERALLY. HEY, HERE'S 20 PEOPLE WE'D LIKE TO SERVE FROM THE COMMUNITY ON THE COMMITTEE. UM SHOULD THAT OCCUR OVER THE COURSE OF SEPTEMBER AND INTO NOVEMBER STAFF, THE COUNCIL WOULD MEET ON A PRETTY FREQUENT BASIS AND A SHORT TIME PERIOD WITH THAT COMMITTEE AND GIVE THEM ALL OF THE NITTY GRITTY DETAILS FROM THE FINANCES THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED AND MORE TO THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT VARY OUTLINED. THE FINANCIAL MODELS OF HOW TO MAKE THOSE GO AND TIMELINES FOR FUNDING TIMELINES FOR CONSTRUCTION. ALL OF THE TYPICAL THINGS THAT WE DISCUSS AND BOND CAN BOND COMMITTEES, THEN THE COMMITTEE THAT ITSELF WOULD PRIORITIZE WOULD HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS INTERNALLY AND THEN BRINGING THEMSELVES A RECOMMENDATION BACK TO COUNCIL IN THE DECEMBER TO JANUARY. TIMEFRAME TO SAY THIS IS WHAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE COUNCIL PUT ONTO THE ELECTION FOR MAY OF 23. THE COUNCIL CAN CALL THE ELECTION AT ANY TIME BEFORE FEBRUARY, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING FEBRUARY'S THAT DEADLINE TO CALL THE ELECTION. UM AND HOPEFULLY AT THAT POINT, WE WOULD HAVE HAD A WELL BEDDED OUT LIST OF PROJECTS. THAT WOULD BE, UM. ANALYZED AND SHOWN AS WHAT WOULD BE ON THE BALLOT FOR MAY OF 23. SO THAT'S THE GENERAL TIMELINE. ANY QUESTIONS THERE? STRUCTURE UM, THERE'S SOMEWHAT REPETITIVE. IF YOU'VE SERVED ON A BOND COMMITTEE BEFORE I APOLOGIZE. IF YOU HAVEN'T MAYBE THIS WILL BE NEW TO YOU, BUT IT'S APPOINTED BY YOU THE COUNCIL YOU COME UP WITH THE NAMES GENERALLY, IT'S FOLKS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, GIVEN THAT THE AIRPORT IS A REGIONAL DRAW, IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE TO CONSIDER REGIONAL MEMBERS IN OUR NORTH TEXAS COLLIN COUNTY REGION THAT MAY HAVE SOME GOOD INSIGHT AND INPUT FOR SUCH A REGIONAL ASSET FOR THE COLLIN COUNTY AREA . UM, SO LET'S JUST A I THOUGHT THAT I HAVE THAT I SHARE WITH YOU ALL. UM THERE SUBCOMMITTEE STRUCTURES AND PREVIOUS BOND COMMITTEES THAT WE'VE HAD, SO THEY GENERALLY LINED UP WITH WHAT THE DIFFERENT ITEM OR QUESTION NUMBERS WERE. SO WE HAD A PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE IN 2019. WE HAD A TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE IN 2019. THOSE COULD STILL BE SUBCOMMITTEES. HOWEVER IT MAY BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE LARGER SUBCOMMITTEES SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED TO YOU KNOW, REGIONAL AVIATION OR REGIONAL BUSINESS OR FINANCE IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE SPECIFIC AIRPORT RELATED QUESTION IN 23. AND THEN AGAIN, STAFF WOULD PRESENT AND START DOING ALL THE BACKGROUND STAFF WORK TO HAVE THOSE GIVEN MEETINGS WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S. THEY'D BE EVENING MEETINGS THROUGHOUT NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. MAYBE WE CATCH ONE IN SEPTEMBER, BUT MORE LIKELY OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND PRESENT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT FACTS AND FIGURES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO INFORM THOSE SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS TO MAKE A VALID RECOMMENDATION BACK TO THE COUNCIL BACK END OF THE YEAR 2022 OR IN JANUARY OF 2023. AND THEY'D BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. SO EVEN IF SOMEBODY FOR WHATEVER REASON WASN'T ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE, THEY WEREN'T APPOINTED TO A SUBCOMMITTEE. IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE VERY INTERESTED AND WANTED TO COME SIT THROUGH AN ENGINEERING PRESENTATION, THEY'D BE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO SO. WE ANTICIPATE IF WE MOVE FORWARD, THE BOND COMMITTEE WOULD COME BACK AND THEY WOULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNSEL. THEY WOULD SAY, HEY, HERE'S THE SLATE OF PROJECTS. HERE'S THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE RECOMMEND, AND THEN ULTIMATELY WOULD BE UP TO YOU. THE COUNCIL COULD SEE THAT
[01:40:03]
DOLLAR AMOUNT AND SAY, HEY, THAT'S WAY TOO LOW. UM YOU'RE FORGETTING THESE TWO PROJECTS.WE'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND A HIGHER NUMBER OR THAT'S WAY TOO HIGH. LET'S YOU KNOW, COME BACK DOWN TO REALITY AND DO THIS LOWER NUMBER HERE AND THEN COUNCIL IS THE ONE THAT CALLS THE ELECTION JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ELECTION OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. AND WE WOULD AT THAT COUNCIL DIRECTION FROM THE STAFF LEVEL START TO PREPARE TO HAVE THAT ELECTION IN MAY OF 23. AGAIN. IT'S GOTTA HAPPEN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO THAT'S ROUGHLY THAT FEBRUARY TIME FRAME THAT WE'VE ALL GROWN FAMILIAR WITH, UM WE WOULD WORK WITH BOND COUNSEL MR HAUSER TO DEVELOP THE PROPER LEGAL LANGUAGE FOR THE QUESTION THAT WE WOULD PUT ON THE BALLOT. SO ALL THAT WOULD BE DRAFTED OUT, UM, IN ANTICIPATION OF COUNCIL CALLING THE ELECTION THAT BE KIND OF HEADED OUT FOR YOU. AND WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS THAT MAY 23RD DATE. NOW THIS IS REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF MY PURVIEW OF WHAT CITY STAFF CAN DO AND WHAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN DO, AND VICE VERSA. WHAT CITY STAFF CAN'T DO AND WHAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE LEEWAY TO DO. SO SHOULD WE GET ALL THE WAY TO CALLING AN ELECTION? UM STAFF WILL HAVE PUT IN A LOT OF WORK AND A LOT OF EFFORT AND PROVIDED A LOT OF INFORMATION TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. HOWEVER ONCE THE ELECTION IS CALLED ANY TYPE OF ADVOCATION FOR A GIVEN ITEM TURNS OFF WE'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO GO PROVIDE DETAILS OUT INTO THE ORGANIZATION. SO IF WE GET DOWN THE ROAD FAR ENOUGH, AND COUNCIL DOES CALL AN ELECTION. MR GRIMES. MR SHELTON CAN CARLY AND OTHER OTHER MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE STAFF WOULD LIKELY GIVE PRESENTATIONS TO THE VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS ABOUT WHAT THE BOND IS ASKING FOR AND WHAT IT IS, BUT AT NO POINT WILL BE ADVOCATE FOR IT. ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS, YOU CAN SEE THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
THEY CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS THEY CAN SERVE ON THE BOND COMMITTEE. THEY CAN ATTEND BOND COMMITTEE MEETINGS. UM THEY CAN INITIATE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES, THEY CAN DO THEIR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA AND TRADITIONAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS THAT ARE PROPONENTS OR OPPOSITION TO A GIVEN BOND. AND THIS IS FOR THIS BOND OR ANY INTO THE FUTURE. UM AND THEY CAN DO THEIR OWN PRESENTATIONS TO VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS, WHETHER FOR OR AGAINST I BRING THAT UP, JUST BECAUSE SOMETIMES THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY ISN'T THE CITY PUTTING SIGNS OUT INTO THE RIGHT AWAY TO VOTE FOR CERTAIN PROPOSITION OR AGAINST A CERTAIN THING, AND IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE LEGALLY PRECLUDED FROM DOING SO. UM, AND IT'S THE WILL OF THE VOTERS THAT REALLY PEDALS THE BIKE FOR US AT THIS POINT, SO CITY STAFF ON THE OTHER SIDE , WE WILL CREATE COLLATERAL AND PRINTED AND SOCIAL MEDIA JUST TO GIVE GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS ON THE BOND, YOU KNOW, X Y Z PROJECT FOR X Y Z DOLLAR AMOUNT. HERE'S THE DATE OF THE ELECTION. YOU CAN VOTE AT THESE VOTING LOCATIONS. BUT NEVER WILL BE, SAY VOTE FOR OR AGAINST A GIVEN, UM, ITEM THAT MAY HIT THE BALLOT AGAIN. WE'LL DO COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO PROVIDE MORE GENERAL INFORMATION TO THOSE INTERESTED PARTIES AND WILL PROVIDE STAFF SUPPORT WHERE APPROPRIATE TO CITIZENS, THE COMMUNITY OR COUNSEL IF THAT WAS REQUESTED FROM COUNSELING. SO THAT'S THE GENERAL PROCESS. NOW WE'RE TO THE FEEDBACK IN DIRECTION SIDE.
SO IF YOU ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMELINE OR DISAGREEMENT WITH THE TIMELINE NOW IS THE TIME TO LET US KNOW. AND WE'D LIKE TO KIND OF GET SOME DIRECTION ABOUT WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTS US TO DO ON NEXT STEPS, AND WE'RE PREPARED TO RUN WITH THAT. WHICHEVER DIRECTION YOU SHALL GIVE. COMMENTS HOW MANY PEOPLE TYPICALLY SERVE ON A BOND COMMITTEE? I BELIEVE LAST TIME WE HAD 35, HOWEVER, WAS CONSIDERABLY MORE MONEY IS WHAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING, AND THERE WAS FIVE DIFFERENT FOCUS AREAS WE'VE INTERNALLY TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE 15 TO 20 RANGE BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE AS I MENTIONED EARLIER FINANCE COMMITTEE. YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE A FINANCE COMMITTEE. YOU HAVE AN AIRPORT COMMITTEE OR AN AVIATION COMMITTEE FOLKS THAT THEY HAVE SKINS ON THE WALL AS IT RELATES TO AVIATION. UM AND THEN MAYBE YOU HAVE A REGIONAL COMMITTEE. VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THEY MAY NOT BE IN MCKINNEY SPECIFICALLY, BUT THEY STAND TO IMPACT FROM A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT AT MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT.
AND OR ANY OTHER COMBINATION OF THOSE ARE JUST THREE GENERAL AREAS I'M THROWING OUT, SO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT WE HAVE SUBCOMMITTEES? I MEAN, HOW DO WE DO? WE SORT THAT OUT. I HOW YOU CHOOSE TO NAME THOSE SUBCOMMITTEES IS REALLY UP TO YOU. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SEVERAL SUBCOMMITTEES . YOU'D FINANCE CERTAINLY AN AVIATION OR AIRPORT SUBCOMMITTEE . UM. FOR AT A MINIMUM. MAYBE THERE'S A THIRD THAT YOU WOULD HAVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MIGHT BE. IT COULD BE FACILITIES OR THE FOURTH ONE THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. SO IN ADDITION TO REGIONAL, SO THINK COLLIN COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES, MAYBE YOU HAVE
[01:45:03]
A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE STATE OR FEDERAL, UM, THAT I'M JUST THROWING STUFF OUT AT THIS POINT, BUT THEN SEPARATE APART FROM YOU HAVE FREQUENT FLYERS. UH ARE LARGE BUSINESSES THAT THEY DO A LOT OF BUSINESS TRAVEL , THEY WOULD HAVE INPUT THAT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL TO US TO HEAR. UM THAT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY TO THE FINANCE SUBCOMMITTEE, GIVEN THE REGIONAL NATURE OF THE AIRPORT, FAIRLY HIGH PROFILE WOULD RECOMMEND A REGIONAL THAT INCLUDE REGIONAL PLAYERS. ONE EXAMPLE YOU COULD CONSIDER AS YOU COULD APPOINT EACH ONE OF YOU COULD APPOINT ONE PERSON FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU THINK REPRESENTS THE INTEREST OF INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE COMMUNITY. YOU COULD ALSO APPOINT ANOTHER MEMBER THAT COULD BE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL FROM A NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY. THINK OF YOUR M UTD. FOR EXAMPLE, HOW WE HAVE MEMBERSHIP.BECAUSE THOSE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES MY THE NUMBER ONE. THEY CAN BE PRETTY HELPFUL, BUT NUMBER TWO, THEY'RE GOING TO BRING A PERSPECTIVE. UM OR IF NOT ELECTED OFFICIAL, YOU COULD PICK AND AN OFFICIAL AND APPOINTED OFFICIAL IN ONE OF THESE COMMUNITIES, SO THERE'S WAGE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU COULD SLICE THIS UP, BUT I THINK YOU WANT TO GET THE SUBJECT MATTER AREAS COVERED. THAT WAS ALREADY DISCUSSED. BUT IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU ULTIMATELY HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED WITH THAT, BUT WE DO RECOMMEND PROBABLY THAT'S A 15 A MINIMUM, BUT I PROBABLY 20 OR 25 . PEOPLE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. WE CAN MANAGE THAT. WE MANAGED MORE PEOPLE BEFORE. THEY'RE NOT VOTING PER, SAY THEY'RE GOING TO BE MEETING. THEY'RE GOING TO BE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION THAT MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO YOU WHO VOTES SO THAT'S A MANAGEABLE NUMBER. AND IN THIS VIEW, IN MY VIEW, YOU WANT TO HAVE VOICES AT THE TABLE FOR SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE. AND THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE PROMOTING IT TO THE PUBLIC, RIGHT? YEAH THEY'RE GOING TO BE THOSE HAVE ON HAVING GROUPS PUT TOGETHER AND THAT SORT OF THING. THAT COULD BE A COMPONENT OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED ON THE 27TH AS WELL. YOU ALL MAY BRING NAMES OR HAVE A SLATE OF NAMES IN YOUR MINDS AND THEN YOU KNOW, WE COULD SAY HEY, WE THOUGHT MORE WE SHOULD FOR SURE.
HAVE A FINANCE. WE SHOULD FOR SURE. HAVE A AVIATION. HERE'S HOW WE'VE TEASED OUT THAT MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BETWEEN BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO GONNA BE A COMMUNITY ASPECT TO THIS, TOO, THAT CITIZENS GENERAL CITIZENS THAT ARE AVIATION EXPERTS OR ART FINANCE EXPERTS. THEY HAVE A STAKE IN THE GAME, TOO. UM SO WE CAN BRING UP SOME STRUCTURE TO THAT. BUT THE REAL REQUEST FROM US WAS HEY, WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME NAMES ON SHORT BASIS SO WE CAN STAY ON TRACK WITH THE TIMELINE. I WOULD JUST SAY, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE SHOULD LIMIT SURE VOTERS AND EXCHANGE FOR YOU KNOW, NON MCKINNEY VOTERS ARE NON MCKINNEY INTEREST IN THAT WAY. FROM A SIZE STANDPOINT, IF WE WERE ABLE TO HANDLE 35 LAST TIME, IT SEEMS LIKE WE CAN GET CLOSE TO THAT IN SOME WAY IF WE WANT TO BRING IN SOME PORTION OF THAT THAT IS REGIONAL OR BUSINESS. BUT I GUESS I MIGHT HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING DISTRICT ONE THAT WE DON'T HAVE SPOTS FOR BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO PUT SOMEBODY FROM PLANO IN THERE. AND SO, MR GRIMES POINT WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS THE COUNCIL SO CHOOSES THAT THAT GENERAL NUMBER IS JUST BASED ON YOU KNOW. VARIABLE MATH OF HEY, LAST TIME WE HAD FIVE ITEMS AND 350 MILLION NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT ONE ITEM. 102 100 RANGE, SO THAT'S A SMALLER NUMBER, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE AS MANY AS THE COUNCIL SO CHOOSES. SO DO YOU NEED DIRECTION FROM US? KIND OF SENSING THAT, HEY, KEEP MOVING FORWARD. SO IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL, WHAT WE WILL LIKELY DO IS ON SEPTEMBER 27TH. WE WILL TRANSITION THAT MEETING FROM ITS TRADITIONAL WORK SESSION TO A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL TO ALLOW YOU ALL TO TAKE ACTION ON APPOINTING MEMBERS TO A SUBCOMMITTEE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH SOME YEAH, THE 20TH AT THE 20TH WHERE YOU GUYS WILL BE AT A CONFERENCE AND I'LL BE SITTING ON THE DAIS BY MYSELF WITH THE COUNCIL. WE COULD USE THAT AS A WAYPOINT WHERE PERHAPS THAT'S THE DATE THAT YOU WOULD SUBMIT YOUR NAMES TO US. UM. AND OR OR CONFIRM EXACTLY WHAT THE COMPOSITION IS GOING TO BE IN TERMS OF COMMITTEES AND NUMBERS , AND THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER WEEK TO MAKE YOUR SUBMIT YOUR NAMES TO US, AND THEN YOU COULD ADOPT IT ON THE 27TH. THAT GIVES US ONE LAST CHANCE FOR YOU GUYS TO PUBLICLY CHEW ON THIS. IF YOU WILL AND SAY HERE'S WHAT WE WANT, WE'RE GOING TO DO 35 MEMBERS. AND THEY'RE GOING TO COMPRISE. YOU KNOW EACH ONE OF US GETS. A MEMBER FROM THE COMMUNITY WANTED TO GET SOME MEMBER AT LARGE. HOWEVER, YOU CHOOSE TO PICK THEM. IT REALLY WILL BE UP TO YOU TO DO THAT.
WE'RE GONNA COME BACK WITH LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS CIRCULATED AMONG YOU AND TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS, AND THEN THE INTENT IS THE 20TH WILL BE AWAY POINT. NO DECISION MADE NO CONFIRMATION OF THE ACTUAL MEMBERS. THE 27TH WILL BE THE MEDIAN WHICH YOU WOULD RATIFY OR ADOPT YOUR COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP. SO WE CAN GET GOING IN OCTOBER. TIMELINE THEREAFTER, PROBABLY
[01:50:04]
WITHIN 10 DAYS TO 14 DAYS AFTERWARDS, ALL OF THOSE FOLKS WOULD LIKELY HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH AT LEAST ONE COUNCIL MEMBER. UM BUT WE WOULD SEND OUT OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION YOU'VE BEEN APPOINTED TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE AT LARGE. AND THEN HERE'S THE DATE OF OUR FIRST MEETING, AND THEN THE MEETINGS THEREAFTER. SO WE ANTICIPATE PROBABLY NOT THREE.PER COUNCIL MEMBER AGAIN. THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S UP TO YOU ALL'S PURVIEW. WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA MANAGE WHATEVER COUNCIL DIRECTION 35 B. FIVE. THAT WAS FOR LAST TIME. WE DON'T THINK WE NEED 35 THIS TIME. YOU KNOW, I THINK AND WE CAN DO WHATEVER FRAMEWORK WE WANT, BUT MAYBE A COUPLE 23 PER COUNCIL MEMBER AND THEN SOME LEVEL OF AGREEMENT ON THE WHO THE REGIONAL PLAYERS WOULD BE THAT MIGHT BE NON MCKINNEY PEOPLE TO ROUND THAT OUT. SURE. BUT YOU KNOW, WE I GUESS WE ALSO GOT TO SEE WHO WE NOMINATE RIGHT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE AREAS THAT WE NEED HER COVERED SO HELPFUL THE FLESH OUT THOSE NAMES AND WHAT THEIR STRENGTHS ARE. WHAT THEY BRING TO THE TABLE. AND THEN ON ON THE MEETINGS THEREAFTER, SO ONCE THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETE, WILL HAVE PROBABLY THREE POTENTIALLY FOR COMMITTEE MEETINGS. WE HAD FOUR IN THE PREVIOUS BOND ELECTION, BUT AGAIN WE WERE COVERING A LOT OF ITEMS. UM I WOULD ANTICIPATE OVER THE COURSE OF OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER WE HAVE THREE MEETINGS. WITH THE APPOINTED COMMITTEE AND THEN IN PROBABLY THE FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY IS WHEN THE COMMITTEE WOULD BRING THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO COUNSEL, SO THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME FOR DISCUSSION BEFORE. UH IF THE COUNCIL SO CHOOSES, THE CALLING OF ELECTION WOULD OCCUR. SO, RICK, YOU KIND OF WINCED IT.
MY 3 21. ARE YOU THINKING 35? I WAS THINKING, YEAH, 35. I THINK THE MORE YOU HAVE ON THERE, THE BETTER ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. TO COMMUNICATE TO COMMUNICATE, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE SUBCOMMITTEES AND THAT SORT OF THING. SO I WOULD SAY THAT WE'LL PROBABLY NEED TO DO ABOUT FOUR THEN. ADD THOSE THAT WE NEED TO DO ON TOP OF THAT. THREE OR FOUR. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE'LL TIE IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER FOR THE 20TH. AND THEN YOU ALL WILL SORT OF, SAY OKAY NEXT WEEK, WE'RE GOING TO ADOPT IT. AND THEN YOU'LL FINALIZE THAT ON THE 27TH. OKAY. ALRIGHTY. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ABSOLUTELY A ZAHN'S UPDATES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER ON THOSE. WE'LL MOVE TO OUR EXECUTIVE
