[Financial Report]
FINANCIAL REPORTS PROVIDED BY CHANCE, MILLER. GOOD MORNING CHANCE. MILLER FINANCIAL COMPLIANCE MANAGER. THANK YOU FOR PULLING THAT UP. WE'LL BE GOING OVER AUGUST. TODAY IS THE 11TH MONTH OF OUR FISCAL YEAR. AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START AT THE TOP. UM WE'LL TALK START OFF WITH REVENUES AND WE HAVE 2.1 MILLION AND REVENUES FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST. 1.97 OF THAT IS SALES TAX REVENUE 134,000 FOR INTEREST INCOME. IN TOTAL THAT WANTED 2.1 MILLION. I MENTIONED MOVING DOWN TO EXPENSES. WE HAD OPERATIONAL EXPENSES OF 41,000. THAT MADE UP OF 21,000 PERSONNEL EXPENSE IN 19,000 OF SERVICES AND SUNDRY MOVING DOWN TO PROJECTS WE HAD 131,000 PROJECTS ALSO MENTIONED DOWN BELOW THE PARK CONSTRUCTION FUND IS CLASSIFIED AS A PROJECT AS WELL.BY THE WAY FOR WE ACCOUNT FOR IT IN OUR ACCOUNTING RECORDS. WE HAVE IT IN OUR DEPARTMENTAL, SO THE REAL PROJECT EXPENSES FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST WOULD BE MORE AROUND 340,000 WITH NON DEPARTMENTAL EXPENSES BEING CLOSE TO 50,000. UM THAT RESULTED IN A NET INCREASE OF 1.6 MILLION FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST. I'LL MOVE ON TO SELLS TAX COMPARISON WITH SISTER CITIES. I THINK IT'S PAGE FOUR. THAT'S AWESOME. UM THESE ARE COLLECTIONS FOR AUGUST SALES TAX, SO THERE ARE APPLICABLE TO THE MONTH OF JUNE WITH THE TWO MONTH DELAY. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAD AN 11. I WILL NOTE THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST MONTH WE EXPECTED TO SEE A DECREASE WITH THE INTEREST RATE HIKES THAT WERE, IF YOU THINK BACK TO JUNE IS WHEN THEY ARE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STARTED INCREASING, UM, THE INTEREST RATES AND ALSO THE CPI INCREASE HIT THAT 9.1% OR 9% BUT INCREASING BASIS POINTS, WHICH WAS THE HIGHEST OF ALL TIME. SO THE CONSIDERING EVERYTHING WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT SEE A PULLBACK AND SOME OF OUR SALES TAX REVENUES. YOU CAN SEE THAT'S NOT THE CASE IN 11.1% INCREASE IS STILL VERY STRONG. YOU CAN PLAY A PORTION OF THAT TO INFLATION IF YOU'D LIKE, BUT STILL SEEING A DOUBLE DIGIT INCREASE IN ANY TIME IS GREAT TO SEE. YOU KNOW, WE BUDGETED AROUND 56% INCREASE. UM, AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, WE HAVE A YEAR TO DATE INCREASE OF 16% AT THIS TIME, I WILL KNOW WE STILL HAVE THREE MONTHS OF SALES TAX COLLECTING TO COLLECT ANOTHER. WE'RE IN THE 11TH MONTH OF OUR FISCAL YEAR, BUT WE HAVE TO COLLECT TWO MONTHS AFTER OUR FISCAL YEAR AS WELL DUE TO THE DELAY AND RECORDING YOU'RE REALLY GETTING OUR SISTER CITIES, ALLEN HAS STAYED CONSISTENT FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS AROUND THAT 3% INCREASE. FIRST GOES UP TO 22% INCREASE AND PLANO HAD A 15.4% INCREASE. FRISCO, SAUL. THE PAST THREE MONTHS. WE'RE LOOKING AT THEIR INCREASES OF 30% 31% 22.
SO THEY'RE MY SOMETIME. THIS ONE IS A NEW BUSINESS OR SOMETHING HAS MADE IT IMPACT FOR THEM. BUT IF I'M LOOKING AT LAST YEAR'S, THEY HAD UM 17% INCREASE LAST YEAR FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD AND NOW THEY'RE SAYING IT 22 POINT OR 22% INCREASE FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD. SO WE'RE SEEING A PRETTY CONSISTENT INCREASE ON A YEAR, THE YEAR TO YEAR BASIS I CAN'T A FEW YEARS AGO COULD FACTOR TO MAYBE THE COVID PLAYING ALONG ON THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE ANYMORE. UM AND LOOKING AT THE SELL STOCKS BY INDUSTRY. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING THAT JUMPED OUT TO ME IS PRETTY STEADY INCREASES ACROSS THE ALL THE INDUSTRIES. NO DECREASES THAT REALLY JUMPED OUT AT ME. SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO STAY AT FOR ANY QUESTIONS. UM WE'RE ALSO GOT EIGHT DAYS LEFT OF THIS FISCAL YEAR AND WE'LL BE MOVING INTO FISCAL YEAR 23 AS OF OCTOBER 1ST. SO THAT STARTS THE NEW
[00:30:04]
BUDGET CYCLE THAT Y'ALL APPROVED. I THINK TWO MONTHS AGO IN THE JULY MEETING, OR YEAH, LAST MONTH, I GUESS. JULY MEETING TWO MONTHS AGO. SORRY UM, IN THE JULY MEETING, AND THEN OUR ORDERS WILL BE HERE IN TWO MONTHS, SO WE'LL CLOSE OUT OF FISCAL YEAR 23. THEY'LL REVIEW IT AND OPERATIVES IN PRISON DEAL NEXT MONTH PRELIMINARY FINANCIALS. BUT IN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE ORDERS HAVE REVIEWED EVERYTHING, I'LL COME TO YOU ALL THE FINAL FINAL PREVENT Y'ALL'S ENDING FUND BALANCE. AND WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW FISCAL YEAR AT THAT POINT AS WELL. I'LL BE HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I'LL BE INTERESTED FOR YOU TO PULL SOME SEPARATE DATA ON HPV. IS THE WAY THAT PEOPLE WILL ROLLED OUT AT A TV YESTERDAY. I'M WE'LL SEE IF FRISCO SALES TAX DOLLARS SHOOT UP TO 100% BECAUSE THEY HAD LINES. IT'S SIX A.M. PEOPLE WERE ATTENDING OUT LIKE IT WAS TICKETS OR SOMETHING. THE MICHAEL JACKSON ARRESTED PEOPLE RIGHT, SO I WILL BE INTERESTED TO SEE IF THERE IS A LARGE INCREASE OR THAT FRISCO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? CHANCE WHAT IS THE 1% MARK NEXT TO PLANO? WHAT IS THAT? SO THEY ONLY RECORD 1% OF THEIR SO EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAN RECORD UP THERE OR COLLECT 2% OF SALES TAX REVENUE. PLANO HAS 1% I THINK THE OTHER 1% GOES TO DARK? YEAH GOES TO DARK. SO YOU HAVE THE FACT THAT IN THIS INTO THEIR SALES TAX COLLECTIONS IS THAT IF BASICALLY YOU DOUBLE IT, AND THAT'S THAT WOULD BE THEIR COLLECTIONS IF THEY HAD 2% SALES TAX COLLECTIONS. OKAY I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING THAT BEFORE, AND THAT'S WHAT MAYBE IT'S BEEN THERE, AND I JUST DIDN'T DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT. SO YOU HAD MENTIONED FIRST GOING, PLANO, YOU THINK HAVE BEEN KIND OF OVERCOMPENSATING BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER AND WE WERE, WE WERE DOING WELL DURING COVID MORE THAN EXPECTED, AND THEY SEEM TO BE LAGGING. SO THAT JUMP BECAUSE IT SEEMS ESPECIALLY IN PLANO MAY HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF THEM. THAT WAS THE CASE FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND NOW WE'RE STARTING TO GET TO THAT POINT THAT EVEN LAST YEAR WAS WHEN THEY CAUGHT UP AT THAT POINT, SO LAST YEAR SALES TAX COLLECTION FOR THIS PERIOD THEY HAD ALREADY FACTORED IN THAT COVID DECLINE AND SO THEY'RE ALREADY KIND OF OPERATING BACK OUT OF NORMAL BASIS. SO THESE INCREASES ARE YOU COULD FACTOR MAYBE TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS EVEN GROWTH ACROSS THIS PERIODS, BUT, UM, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE ANYMORE. I THINK THEY'RE TRUE INCREASES WHAT I'M SEEING ON A PERIOD OF PERIOD INCREASES AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY DON'T FIRST GO DOES NOT PUT THE PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT WE PUT OUT THERE ON OUR WEBSITES AND STUFF. BUT AS OF SEPTEMBER 30TH THEY HAD THE REPORT ANNUAL INFORMATION JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. I SHOULD GET A LITTLE BETTER INSIDE OF WHAT'S CAUSING THAT. NOT ALL, PROBABLY JUST REACH OUT TO ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES OVER THERE AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY INSIGHT AS WELL. I DON'T THINK IT'S THE COVID ANYMORE IN THIS AREA. I THINK THAT AS OF A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT THAT THOSE PERIOD PERIOD INCREASES ARE GOING TO PLAY A FACTOR ANYMORE. THANK YOU. CHECKS FOR AUGUST WERE ISSUED. YOU CAN GET THERE ATTACHED TO[Board and Liaison Reports Board Chair City of McKinney Visit McKinney McKinney Economic Development Corporation McKinney Main Street/MPAC McKinney Parks and Recreation]

MARY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE WILL GO CITY OF MCKINNEY.HARRY. GOOD MORNING. I'M STANDING IN FOR PROGRAMS. MADAM CHAIR, MADAM. PRESIDENT, UM BEFORE I GET STARTED. I JUST WANTED TO TELL RICK AND JACKIE BOTH HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS YOU PUT IN THIS BOARD IN PARTICULAR ABOUT SPECIFICALLY, THE TWO OF YOU NOT ONLY DO A LOT OF WORK HERE DURING YOUR MEETINGS, BUT WE SEE YOU AT EVENTS. YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE.
YOU'RE ALWAYS HELPING OUT VOLUNTEERING IN THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED AND IT'S SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF THIS BOARD AS A WHOLE. TO SEE EVERYONE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND AND REALLY NOT ONLY PROVIDE THE BOARD LEADERSHIP AND THE FUNDING FOR A LOT OF OUR NONPROFITS, BUT YOUR AT THEIR EVENTS, YOU'RE AT THE ACTIVITIES IN. YOU'RE ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP OUT. AND SO THAT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED AND HOPEFULLY CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE TWO OF YOU IN YOUR NEW ROLES. JUST FOR THE UPDATE A COUPLE OF THINGS I HAVE ON MY LIST. THE FIRST IS SINCE OUR LAST MEETING WITH CDC WE DATED AFTER BUDGET BACK ON SEPTEMBER 6TH, THE CITY COUNCIL. ADOPTED THE NEW BUDGET THAT GAVE OUR CITIZENS ARE FORCED SINCE FOUR CENT REDUCTION IN THE TAX RATE.
WHICH IS THE LARGEST THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY. UM, A LOT OF THAT'S DUE TO THE ECONOMIC TIMES WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW, WITH THE PROPERTY VALUES GOING UP, BUT IT WAS 100 MINUTES $190 MILLION GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND I BELIEVE IT WAS ABOUT A $652 MILLION TOTAL BUDGET THIS YEAR, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, THE LARGEST EVER IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THERE WERE 50 NEW STAFF MEMBERS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE REALLY PRESS THIS YEAR WAS TRYING TO PLAY CATCH UP IN SOME OF OUR DEPARTMENTS, IN PARTICULAR PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENTS, POLICE AND FIRE FRONT LINE POLICE OFFICERS AND FRONTLINE UM FIREFIGHTERS, IN PARTICULAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES TO THE CITIZENS AS WE GROW EXACTLY . NEWS ON THE CITY HALL BUILDING . WE ARE OUT TO BID RIGHT NOW. WE SHOULD BE PRESENTING A GMP AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 18TH. WE ARE SCHEDULING A GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR OCTOBER. 24TH AT FOUR PM IT WILL BE OVER THERE VERY SIMILAR, PROBABLY EXACT LOCATION WHERE WE HAD OUR RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE SILO PROJECT. THAT'S EXCITING. WE'RE LOOKING AT A 24 MONTH CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, WHICH WOULD PUT US IN OCTOBER OF 2024 FOR COMPLETION, SO HOPEFULLY MOVED IN AND READY TO ROLL IN OUR NEW CITY HALL BY THE END OF 2024. YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN SOME NEWS ON THE BOND COMMITTEE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS FORMING. THEY ARE LOOKING TO APPOINT THE BOND COMMITTEE ON NEXT TUESDAY. THE 27TH THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN OUR OTHER BOND REFERENDUMS WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST THAT CONSISTED OF A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT QUESTIONS OF DO WE FUND STREETS? DO WE FOUND FACILITIES? WE FUND PARKS. THIS ONE CITIES DECIDED TO GO FORWARD WITH A SINGULAR ITEM THAT IS ON MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. IT'S KIND OF A CONFLUENCE OF MANY
[00:40:05]
POSITIVE FACTORS THAT MAKE THIS THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE KIDNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT TO LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING TO BE WHEN IT GROWS UP. UH, AND PLAYING FOR THAT AND FUND SOME OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT WE CAN BE THE ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR THE CITY AND THE REGION AT THE AIRPORT THAT IT'S ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE THE CITY COUNCIL. WAY BACK IN 1979 MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW AIRPORT AND THE CITY'S OWNED IT SINCE THAT TIME IN 2013 CITY COUNCIL CHOSE TO PURCHASE THE FBO, THE FIXED BASE OPERATOR BUSINESS, WHICH IS THE FUELING AND THE HANGAR RENTALS AND THE OFFICE SPACE RENTALS IN BOTH OF THOSE HAVE BEEN GREAT. WE'VE HAD A GREAT AIRPORT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS IN THE FBO IS NOW OPERATING AT A LEVEL THAT WAS BEYOND EXPECTATIONS, HONESTLY.AND SO, WITH SOME OF THE THINGS GOING ON WITH GROWTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE EXTENSIONS TO THAT SIDE TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT, AND IN PARTICULAR THIS TALK ABOUT SPUR 3 99 EXTENDING AROUND THE AIRPORT. THIS IS THE TIME TO BE PLANNING FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. WE'RE KIND OF BUILDING OUT THE WEST SIDE WHERE YOU SEE ALL THE ACTIVITY TODAY? AND WE'RE PLANNING FOR WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE EAST SIDE. THAT'S EXCITING AND WILL BE MOVING FORWARD, HOPEFULLY WITH A MAY OF 2023 BOND ELECTION, WHERE CITIZENS CAN CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT TO PROVIDE THE FUNDING FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. THE LAST THING I HAVE IS POLICE CHIEF CONNOLLY IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE CHIEF CONNELLY. HE'S GOING TO BECOME GREG CONLEY, AND HE IS HE IS MOVING INTO A NEW ROLE AS DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY, WHERE HE WILL OVERSEE BOTH POLICE AND FIRE AND KIND OF WORK ON THE COORDINATION WITH THE TWO DEPARTMENTS WORK ON REGIONAL COORDINATION, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING OUR CITIZENS SAFE AND ALL MANNER OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON, YOU KNOW.
SOME OF THE BAD THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FULLY PREPARED. AND WORKING ON MAJOR.
WE HAVE FULL COORDINATION THERE, SO THAT'S EXCITING. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ASSISTANT CHIEF, OR YES, ASSISTANT CHIEF CHIEF. ELLENBERGER IS GOING TO BE OUR INTERIM POLICE CHIEF FOR THE TIME BEING THINK HE'S A STRONG CANDIDATE FOR OUR PERMANENT REPLACEMENT. I KNOW THAT PEOPLE THINK VERY HIGHLY OF CHIEF ALAN BERG. SO WE'RE EXCITED FOR HIM. HE'S GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE GREG CONLEY OVER HERE IN OUR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICEFI STARTING HER.
JUST A LITTLE BIT. OCTOBER 1ST. IT WILL BE HIS FIRST DAY IN THE NEW ROLE, AND WE ARE GIVEN TO SEE BACK IN THE BACK, OKAY? WE'VE BEEN GIVING HIM A HARD TIME THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO GO BUY A WHOLE NEW WARDROBE BECAUSE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS HE'S HIS WARDROBES DIDN'T SET FOR HIM, SO WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT HE HAS A NICE COLLECTION OF BLUE SHIRTS AND TIES AND FIT RIGHT IN WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE. FOR MY UPDATED. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. I HAVE A QUESTION IF COUNCIL HAS BEEN PRETTY NARROW ABOUT WHAT THE BOND ELECTION WILL BE ABOUT AND FOCUSED ON THE AIRPORT. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE HERE? BUT WHAT ARE WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO? THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO HELP US WEED THROUGH THE WIDE VARIETY OF PROJECTS THAT COULD BE INCLUDED AT THE AIRPORT. SO THEY'RE TAXIWAYS, THEIR TERMINAL, THEIR HANGERS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. AND WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS TO THE COMMITTEE , AND THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US. SAY OKAY, THIS IS THE PACKAGE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT TO THE VOTERS. UM DO WE INCLUDE AT ALL, WHICH IS A REALLY BIG NUMBER. DO WE WEEDED OUT A SMALLER NUMBER SO THAT WE CAN TAKE IT OUT FOR THE VOTERS? HOPEFUL APPROVAL. SO THAT THAT'S THE ROLE THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT SUBCOMMITTEES THAT THE COUNCIL'S APPOINTING ARE USUALLY PARKS SUBCOMMITTEE INFRASTRUCTURE SUBCOMMITTEE PUBLIC FACILITY SUBCOMMITTEE THIS TIME EXCEPT COMMITTEES ARE GOING TO BE A CITIZEN OR COMMUNITY SUPPORT SUBCOMMITTEE BUSINESS COMMUNITY SUBCOMMITTEE REGIONAL. GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, SEPTA ME WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTY AND FROM OTHER CITIES IN THE IN THE COUNTY AND REGION TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE WE SEE THIS AS A REGIONAL BENEFIT PROJECT.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US DETERMINE WHAT'S THE BEST THING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AIRPORT.
THANK YOU. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. REPAIR. RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YES, ABSOLUTELY. WE WILL MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT JUST TO PULL ANDREW WITH MAIN STREET IMPACT SO WE WILL MAKE SURE HE PREPARES FOR OCTOBER 5TH. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND TO ALLOW HIM TO MOVE UP WITH YOUR AMY ENERGY. IT'S A

IT WILL BE MY FIRST PHYSICAL YEAR TO LEAD THIS DEPARTMENT AND SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT WITH OUR TEAM. I WANTED TO KIND OF LEAVE YOU ALL WITH A LITTLE STATEMENT.

AND IF YOU BUILD A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE, YOU'LL BUILD A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO WORK. AND IF YOU BUILD A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO WORK, THEN YOU'LL BUILD A PLACE WHERE BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE. AND IF YOU BUILD A PLACE WHERE YOUR BUSINESS HAS TO BE, THEN YOU BUILD A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO VISIT.

THANK GOD WE CAN GET THAT PICKLEBALL COURT OPENED UP. I'M GONNA GET SHANKED BY A PICKLE BALL PLAYER. IF I DON'T GET THAT THING OPENED UP REALLY SOON. SO UM, TENNIS. CONCRETE FOR THE INDOOR TENNIS COURTS WAS POURED RECENTLY. HAVE A SMALL DELAY. WE'RE THINKING ON THAT ONE WITH AN ELEVATOR. SO AS YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS KIND OF HARD TO GET, BUT WE THINK WE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND ACTUALLY GET A TEMPORARY CEO TO OPEN THAT FACILITY UP EVEN IF THE ELEVATOR IS NOT FULLY OPERATIONAL AT THAT POINT. BUT WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THAT THING OPENED UP PRETTY PRETTY SOON. SO, UM WE'LL BRING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SOON FOR ROBINSON RIDGE PARK CURTAIN HERE. KURT WAS ALWAYS HONEST FOR ROBINSON RIDGE, FARC, SO WE'LL BE BRINGING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR IT. AND THE UPGRADED SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS AT THE MCKINNEY SOCCER COMPLEX AT CRAIG RANCH. ALSO JUST AS OF YESTERDAY, WE HAVE A NEW BOAT DOT KAYAK LAUNCH AT TOWN LAKE AND THEN WE STARTED SOME HUBBUB ON FACEBOOK, WHERE WE'RE RIPPING THE OLD ONE OUT AND PUTTING IN A NEW ONE, SO PEOPLE SHOULD BE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. BRING YOUR OWN KAYAK OUT TO TOWN LAKE. THE LAUNCH IS GREAT. IT WAS OUT THERE YESTERDAY AS THEY WERE ASSEMBLING IT. DID IT PRETTY QUICKLY ALL IN A DAY. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THEIR BUILD. IT ALL FLOATED OUT THERE, AND IT'S ALL PRETTY MUCH READY TO GO, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WANT TO THANK JACKIE AND RICK, FOR YOUR TIME. YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE BOARD YOUR SUPPORT FOR US OVER THE YEARS. I KNOW WE'VE GONE THROUGH MANY, MANY THINGS OVER THAT TIME, BUT THE PASSION THAT YOU BRING I KNOW THAT THIS BOARD IS A IS AN IMPORTANT ONE. BUT YOUR DREAM BUILDERS FOR WHAT YOU YOU GUYS HAVE DONE FOR THE FUNDING. YOU PROVIDED PEOPLE TO TAKE OFF ON THE THINGS THAT THEY DO. THE EVENTS. THIS NONPROFITS, ESPECIALLY, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. MY AUNT WAS A MEMBER OF THIS BOARD BACK IN THE EARLY 2000 AND SHE STILL BENDING MY EAR ABOUT THINGS. SO I KNOW THAT PASSION RUNS DEEP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UH WITH THE KAYAK, WILL THERE EVER BEING WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO OFFER RENTING THOSE THAT YOU THAT PARKS AND RICK WILL HAVE SOME PARENTAL? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO ORIGINALLY, WHEN OUR CONCESSIONAIRE, UM RETIRED DOWNTOWN, LIKE WHEN WE RENTED THE PADDLE BOATS AND THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT, THEY WERE A LITTLE LITTLE CUMBERSOME. THERE WERE SOME ISSUES WITH THOSE THEY WERE. THEY WERE HIGH MAINTENANCE TO RUN THOSE WHEN SHE LEFT. WE OPENED IT UP TO GET ANOTHER CONCESSIONAIRE IN THERE, AND I WAS WANTING SOMEONE THAT COULD RENT TAX CANOES AND BIKES FROM THAT LOCATION. THAT WAY, YOU COULD JUST MAKE IT A DAY YOU CAN TRAVEL FROM ANY OTHER CITY. COME TO MCKINNEY COME TO TOWN LAKE AND MAKE IT A DAY EITHER ON THE WATER. TAKE A BIKE, MAYBE HIT DOWNTOWN. WHATEVER YOU WANTED TO DO. WE FAILED. WE JUST COULDN'T FIND A VENDOR THAT WAS WILLING TO DO THAT. WE WERE WORKING WITH ONE OUT OF DALLAS. THEY HAD SOME HEALTH ISSUES COME UP AND PULLED OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE, SO WE KIND OF TOOK A PAUSE ON IT, AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THE REFRESH OF TOWN LAKE TO TRY TO DO THAT. WE PURCHASED SOME TAX OURSELVES TO DO SOME CLASSES OUT THERE, NOT NECESSARILY THINKING ABOUT RENTING NOTES AT THIS TIME. THAT NEEDS TO BE MORE ON SITE MANAGEMENT OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THAT'S OUR GOAL TO MAKE TOWN LIKE SORT OF A WITH THE REFRESHMENTS COMING TO MAKE IT A DESTINATION FOR PEOPLE TO MAYBE LEAVE ONE OF OUR SURROUNDING CITIES OR EVEN FROM FURTHER AWAY, COME TO MCKINNEY AND MAKE A DAY OF IT JUST TO TOWN LAKE WITH ALL THE ACTIVITIES AND THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON THERE, OKAY. THANK YOU, RYAN. MAYBE YOU CAN SHARE WITH CINDY, THE REFRESH THAT I SAW AT THE LAST PARKS MEETING.OF TOWN LIKE YES, AND THEN THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE A VISION OF WHAT'S WHAT'S HOPING TO CAMP THERE. IT WAS A REALLY THEY HAD JUST GOTTEN IT AND IT WAS A REALLY GREAT VISION FOR THAT PARK. AND THEY ALSO SHOWED THE SLIDE ABOUT THE KAYAK LAUNCH. SO YOU ACTUALLY PUT YOUR KAYAK IN IT? AND YOU CAN USE YOUR PADDLE. AND BACK OUT BECAUSE IT'S GOT SLOTS FOR YOUR PADDLE. THAT'S HOW YOU GET BACK IN, SO IT'S REALLY COOL IS THAT YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO TRY TO DO AN UNCOMFORTABLE MANEUVER TO GET IN YOUR KAYAK AND FALL OUT IN THE WATER OR SOMETHING LITERALLY
[01:00:06]
JUST BACK OUT WITH YOUR WORRY ALL PULL BACK IN. SO IT'S VERY INTERESTING START. OUR KAYAK DOCK IS BIAS FOLKS CALLED EASY DOCTOR, THEIR LITTLE RECTANGULAR PIECES THAT ARE PIECED TOGETHER MODULAR THAT MAKES THE DOCTOR YOU WANT AND THERE CAN BE PERFORMED IN ANY SHAPE SORT OF SIZE THAT YOU WANT OUT OF THOSE PIECES. THEY TOLD US. WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW MINUTES MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAS AN ACCESSIBLE KAYAK LAUNCH. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE, BUT I'M GLAD THAT WE ARE UM, AND TO JACKIE'S POINT IT IS YOU PUT YOUR KAYAK IN. IT HAS A LITTLE BRUCE FOR IT, SO YOU CAN BASICALLY KIND OF EITHER PUSH YOURSELF DOWN, BUT IN EACH SLOT WITH YOUR KAYAK PADDLE OR BRING YOURSELF BACK UP. BECAUSE THAT'S ALWAYS THE TRICKY PART IS GETTING OUT OF THE WATER AND GETTING THE KAYAK BACK UP. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT, AND, UH, HOPE TO SEE IT BEING USED VERY OFTEN. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CALL US AND ASK US CAN I CAN I? YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF KAYAK ON TOWN. MAKE SURE THERE'S NO SWIMMING, SO IF YOU FALL OFF, JUST YOU JUST GOTTA FLOAT THERE. ANOTHER QUESTION. OTHER QUESTIONS WORK PADDLEBOARDING TO THAT. THAT SHOULD BE ADDED, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THOSE INDOOR TENNIS COURTS. HOW MANY AGAIN ARE IN 66 IN INDOOR? OKAY? GOOD REMEMBER, AND THOSE ARE THOSE AREN'T ANY PICKLEBALL THAT'S JUST TENNIS IN THE COVERED. WE DON'T SAY THAT WORD. OKAY IT'S AN OPTION. IT IS AVAILABLE. SO REMEMBER PREVIOUS CONVERSATION CORD FITS ON, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, TAKE A TENNIS COURT AND EFFECTIVE FINCH PARK, THE OLD TENNIS COURT. PRETTY MUCH SIZES . FOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS AND THE OTHER TENNIS COURT, WHICH IS DEDICATED TO TENNIS, BUT HAS LINES ON IT FOR PICK BULLETS. ANOTHER FOUR COURTS, WHICH JUST NEEDS PORTABLE NETS ON IT THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE INDOOR COURTS. NOT INITIALLY. WE'RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, SEE ABOUT TENNIS BECAUSE THAT'S THE FIRST RUN OF IT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY THERE, AND THERE'S NOTHING TO KIND OF FLIP TO THAT. DO YOU NEED PORTABLE NETS AND HAVE THE STRIPES ON THERE? YOU CAN ALWAYS TAPE LINES DOWN IF NEED BE, AND WE'VE ALWAYS SO HAD SOME PAINTED WHEN WE HELD THE LARGE PICKLE BALL TOURNAMENT. WE'VE HAD SOME PAINTED ON THE COURT AND THEN YOU CAN GO BACK OVER IT WITH TENNIS PAINT OR JUST THE TENNIS LINES. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET A COURT, WITH MANY LINES ON, IT GETS DON'T SAY CONFUSING FOR FOLKS. BUT SOME SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT SO MUCH, SO WE ALWAYS TRY TO PAUSE AND SEE WHICH DIRECTION IT GOES FIRST AND THEN TRY TO EASE THOSE THINGS BACK INTO IT. INDOOR GYM, BASKETBALL COURTS OR THE OR THE BIG THING BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT BASKETBALL ON THERE. YOU'VE ALSO GOT VOLLEYBALL ON THERE, AND THEN WE HAD PICKLEBALL ON THERE JUST TO LINES CAN GET CONFUSING FOR SOME PEOPLE HAVE EVERYTHING THERE, BUT WE'RE STARTING OFF WITH TENNIS AND CAN'T EXPAND INTO PICKLEBALL IF NECESSARY. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE ARE LARGEST UNDER ROOF. FACILITY THAT WE HAVE. THANK YOU. HAVE A TUBS UP.SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATE. DAVID YES, MA'AM.
