I CAME HERE TONIGHT TO PERSUADE YOU TO APPROVE ALLERGIC CITY MAP THAT PROTECTS OUR MINORITY VOTE FOR A DISTRICT ONE. THIS MEANS THAT I'M HERE TONIGHT TO IMPLORE YOU ALL TO NOT PASS MAPS EIGHT, OR C, WHICH WILL WEAKEN THE VOTING POWER IN DISTRICT ONE. WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE WILL YOU BE SENDING THAT WHEN GIVEN THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE EVERY DISTRICTING MAP, YOU APPROVE ONE THAT SIGNIFICANTLY HINDERS THE MINORITY VOTE IN MINORITY HEAVY DISTRICT. IS A MINORITY RESTAURANT, MYSELF OF DISTRICT ONE. I HAVE ALREADY FELT UNSEEN AND UNHEARD MAPS AND SEE WILL CONFIRM THAT MY VOICE AND THE VOICES OF MY FELLOW NEIGHBORS ARE INSIGNIFICANT. I AM SURE THAT THERE IS THAT THIS IS A DIFFICULT DECISION HAVING TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT WILL MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. PROTECTING THE VOTE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY DISENFRANCHISED SHOULD BE A PRIORITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. SARAH HAD SWEAT. OUR HOUSE WIT. SORRY IF I PRONOUNCED THAT WRONG, SARAH. YES, I DID. SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AND SEE WHO IT WAS REPORTED PRONOUNCED IT HELLO. MY NAME IS SARAH HESS TWIT. I'M AT 23 16 QUEST, ELAINE. UM AND I SENT YOU AN EMAIL. SO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. UM BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING TO THE MINORITY REPRESENTATION IN OUR CITY. I'M SAD THAT WE ARE LOSING OUR MINORITY MAJORITY DISTRICT AT ALL. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE UM, WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS PLAN. BUT I PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION AND THE MESSAGE THAT WE ARE SENDING TO OUR POPULATIONS. UM AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, AND I APPRECIATE SO MUCH ALL OF THE HARD WORK AND THE HEART. AND THE TIME THAT YOU PUT INTO MAKING OUR COMMUNITY THE BEST THAT IT CAN BE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CHRIS TREVINO. I WASN'T READY.

[00:05:06]

CRYSTAL YOU KNOW, I LIVE AT 903 NORTH CHURCH HERE, MCKINNEY. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE REDISTRICTING. UM, IF I HAD TO CHOOSE A MAP IT WOULD BE THE ONE THAT COMES INTO COUNSELING PRECINCT. TO THAT WOULD KIND OF HELP US. KEEP THE MINORITY VOTE IN TECH. HELP US. IF WE GO INTO FOUR. IT'S JUST GOING TO ELIMINATE THAT. IF WE DON'T WE NEED TO GO TO 6 TO 1. YOU KNOW? SIX COUNCIL MEMBERS. ONE MAYOR. I MEAN, THE MINORITY VOTE IS IMPORTANT IN THIS IN THIS COMMUNITY. IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT, EITHER EAST SIDE DISTRICT ONE WILL NEVER HAVE A VOICE.

THAT'S A MINORITY. THAT'S THAT'S GIVEN UM, THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE I SPOKE. WITH FOR COUNCILMAN THAT WAS HERE THAT WE DIDN'T LIKE. AND I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS COMING AFTER HIS SEAT.

RIGHT? UH SEVERAL. Y'ALL KNEW THAT I WAS GOING TO RUN FOR CONSTABLE. I TOLD YOU I WAS GONNA RUN FOR CONSTABLE AND I DID RIGHT. SO THIS TIME I'M HERE TO TELL YOU ALL THAT IF THE RIGHT DECISION IS NOT MADE TONIGHT, ON THE RIGHT REDISTRICTING PLANS, CHRIS TREVINO WILL BE FOLLOWING A FEDERAL LAWSUIT. TO FIX THAT. TO GO TO 6 TO 1. THAT'S HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO MY COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THE MINORITY VOTE HERE INTACT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE. I MEAN, I KNOW FOR SURE. I HAD THE QUALIFICATIONS. TO BE CONSTABLE. I HAVE THE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. WHY? I'M NOT SURE. I'M GOING TO TRY AGAIN. BUT I PROMISE Y'ALL. THAT IF THIS REDISTRICTING THING IS IT FIXED, RIGHT AND DONE, RIGHT, AND I TALKED TO MY COUNCILMAN, AND HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THAT I WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS FEDERAL LAWSUIT, ALL RIGHT? DO I AM I EVER GET ONE MORE THING OUT? YOU HAVE ANOTHER MINUTE AND 15 SECONDS. CHIEF POLICE. WE HAVE SOMEBODY ALREADY HERE CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB. LET'S QUIT PLAYING AROUND TRYING TO FIND HIGHER UP AFFIRM. TO DO A NATION NATIONAL WIDE SEARCH. ELLENBERGER IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB. IF HE HAS SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO GO AGAINST HIM THIS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT. LET'S DO THAT. BUT ELLENBERGER IS MCKINNEY. ALBERT'S BEEN HERE IN MCKINNEY.

ELLENBERGER BEEN DOING THE JOB. HE DESERVED THAT TIME. HE DESERVES TO BE THAT CHIEF. SO LET'S DO THAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JULIE LUTON. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. UM JULIE LUTON. I LIVE AT 15 16 TIMBER RIDGE DRIVE. FIRST OF ALL, I'M WEARING THE LOVELY SHIRT. I WANTED TO COMPLEMENT THE OLD LEGACY KEEPERS ARE LEGACY KEEPERS OF POLICE MCKENNEY, JASON HERNANDEZ AND THE CITY STAFF FOR A WONDERFUL EVENT THIS LAST SATURDAY, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL TIME AT EL DIA DALE'S MARTOS. I'M HERE TO TALK ON REDISTRICTING, AND I'VE ALREADY EMAILED SO IT'LL BE SHORT, I PROMISE. UM REDISTRICTING BOILS DOWN TO CHOOSING A MAP THAT FAIRLY REPRESENTS ALL COMMUNITIES, THE BEST WE CAN THE ADDED CHALLENGE HERE, OF COURSE, IS DEMOGRAPHICS. DISTRICT ONE IS ALREADY LOSING PART OF ITS MINORITY VOTING POWER. DUE TO THOSE DEMOGRAPHICS. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT. THEREFORE WE MUST GO THE EXTRA MILE TO PROTECT THIS. THE MINORITY REPRESENTATION THROUGH OUR REDISTRICTING PROCESS TODAY.

ADD INTO THE MIX THAT THIS COUNCIL WHOM I DO KNOW WANTS THE BEST FROM MCKINNEY IS LOOKING AT A MAP OR TWO MAPS THAT NEEDLESSLY DISRUPT THE BOUNDARIES AND VOTER MAKEUP OF DISTRICT THREE. THIS DISTRICT HAS BEEN ABLY REPRESENTED BY DR FELTUS. WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE ONLY WOMAN AND THE ONLY PERSON OF COLOR ON THIS COUNCIL , POTENTIALLY DILUTING HER EFFECTIVENESS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER OR HER ELECTABILITY WOULD BE HARMFUL TO THE CITY'S SUCCESS AND ITS IMAGE. SO BOTTOM LINE AFTER ALL, THE DISCUSSIONS, THE MAP CHOSEN DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PRETTY. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO ALONG STRAIGHT LINES. NECESSARILY ON UP ON A UP OR DOWN, SIDE TO SIDE VOTE. THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF THE MAP. THE MAP JUST HAS TO DO RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THIS CITY. SO PLEASE CHOOSE CAREFULLY. THANK YOU. LESLIE VESTAL.

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. I'M A PROUD RESIDENT OF DISTRICT THREE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I WANT TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO COUNCIL PERSON FELTUS WHO SERVES OUR DISTRICT SO WELL, THANK YOU. A LOT OF POSITIVE CHANGES HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CITY SINCE I MOVED HERE IN 2000 DURING THAT TIME. UM AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE REDISTRICTING IN OUR CITY. SO I URGE YOU TO MAKE BOUNDARIES IN A BALANCED WAY WITHOUT PUTTING AN UNDUE BURDEN ON DISTRICT THREE.

[00:10:01]

SO THAT IT'S NOT REDRAWN IN A MORE SIGNIFICANT WAY THAN OTHER DISTRICTS. IT SEEMS UNFAIR TO ONE THIRD OF THAT DISTRICT THAT THEIR REPRESENTATION HAS BEEN CHANGED OR WILL BE CHANGED. IF THAT'S THE IF THAT'S THE PLAN THAT GOES FORWARD, I ALSO AN URGE YOU TO APPROVE THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES THAT PROTECT THE COMMONALITIES OF DISTRICT ONE. AGAIN PUTTING UNDUE BURDEN ON A PARTICULAR GROUP WILL DILUTE THEIR VOTING POWER. SO IF WE TRULY HONOR ALL MEMBERS OF OUR CITY, THEN WE NEED TO HONOR THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF THESE DISTRICTS BY HONORING THEIR VOTERS, SO I URGE YOU TO APPROVE REDISTRICTING MAP THAT PROTECTS THE MAKEUP OF CURRENT DISTRICT AND PROTECT THE MINORITY VOTE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WILL MAKE MCKINNEY THE BEST . IT CAN BE A PLACE WHERE EVERY PERSON MATTERS AND EVER EVERY PERSON IS REPRESENTED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ADA SIMMONS. GOOD EVENING. CAREFUL OF. CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I MADE A SIMMONS 5 12, CYPRUS WILL DRY DISTRICT ONE. I'M GOING TO PUSH THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. I HAVE PERSONALLY READ AND REREAD. BACOLOR OF THE LAW. WHICH MIRRORS MY GROWING UP IN RURAL ALABAMA, WHERE YOU KNEW YOU PLACE ACCEPTED SEGREGATION AND THE LIMITED ACCESS OF THE NEEDS THAT ENABLED EQUAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ALL CITIZENS UNDERSTOOD AND RESPECTED THE RAILROAD DIVIDE. THE DIFFICULTY APPEARANCE TO VOTE AND ACHIEVE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. ARE STABLE ENVIRONMENT. JERMAINE BUSINESSES, CHURCHES, SCHOOLS FACILITIES WHERE THE RESULTS OF CARING PARENTS, CREATIVE PARENTS AND LEADERS. THE COLOR OF THE LAW CLEARLY GIVES CREDIT TO THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND LIMITING THE PROGRESS OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. PROGRESS TO RACIAL JUSTICE. CAN BE SEEN IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS OF THE SIXTIES. BUT AMERICA TODAY HAVE INHERITED THE DISTORTED RULES OF SYSTEMIC RACISM THRIVING IN LAWS AND SYSTEMS AND CUSTOMS DESPITE THE FORWARD MOVEMENT OF INTEGRATION AND EQUAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW, THE TONE HAS BEEN SET. AND THE HISTORY OF DISCRIMINATION AND DEHUMANIZE IN LIFE. STILL PREVAIL. THE WORD WE AS POWERFUL AND IT'S VERY INCLUSIVE. AND WE ALL USE IT. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES WE SHALL OVERCOME. WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT. WE GATHER TOGETHER. THE COMMITTEE ON RACIAL EQUITY CORE IS A SOCIAL JUSTICE MISSION OF TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. AND IT'S LED. TO CONNECT RACIAL EQUITY AND THE WORK OF SYSTEMATIC RACISM CORE IS COMMITTED TO EXPAND THE TRUTHS THROUGH BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES AND RACIAL EQUITY AND JUSTICE AS WE SERVE GOD BY LOVING ALL THE GOAL OF CORE IN OUR CONGREGATION AND COMMUNITY IS NOT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BUT TO CAST A LIGHT ON ITS HISTORY, ITS CONSEQUENCES, ITS PRESENCE IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE. TO CAST OUT THE SPIRITS OF RACISM FROM OUR HEARTS. AND TURN TOWARDS LOVE OF EACH OTHER. REDISTRICT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO THIS MANNISH OR HE WROTE THE MINORITY VOTING POWER. ANY DISTRICT. IN DOING SO. YOU BASICALLY SLOW DOWN THE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY. NOT ONLY OF US TEXANS BUT OF AMERICA AS WELL.

THANK YOU. VINCENTE TOURISTS. MY NAME IS VINCENT. A TAURUS LIVE AT 3300 BRENTWOOD DRIVE. SO I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE REVISED A I PREFER THAT ONE, MAINLY BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU VERY CLEAR BOUNDARIES. AND IT REALLY DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO THINK. HEY, I'M ON THIS SIDE OF STREET OR THAT SIDE OF THE STREET. AND NOT KNOW WHERE TO DISTRICT YOU'RE IN. I'M SURE ALL OF YOU GUYS UP THERE. YOU ALL RAN WHEN I RAN. I'M SURE YOU FOUND THE SAME THINGS WHEN YOU'RE WALKING DOWN A BUNCH OF STREETS AND YOU'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE AND PEOPLE SAY, OH, I THOUGHT I WAS IN THIS DISTRICT OR I THOUGHT I WAS IN THAT DISTRICT. AND YOU'RE LIKE, NO, YOU'RE IN THIS ONE. OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE HERE, YOU KNOW, AND THEN NO, I SWEAR I'M IN ONE. I'M LIKE NOW YOU'RE IN THREE. BUT THIS GIVES A VERY CLEAR LINE. IT ALSO DIVIDES IT UP. PRETTY

[00:15:04]

EVENLY. I LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR. MY THING IS WHEN WE LOOK AT SOME OF THESE OTHER ONES LIKE GOING DOWN 1 21 SO YOU CAN GET APARTMENTS FOR DISTRICT ONE BECAUSE WE WANT TO PROTECT THE MINORITY VOTE. WELL AS A MINORITY. SOME OF US OWN HOUSES. WE DON'T ALL LIVE IN APARTMENTS. THE OTHER THING IS, I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE ARE ABOUT TAKING AWAY THE MINORITY VOTE. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT . IT'S ABOUT DOING WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AS A CITY EVERY 10 YEARS.

AND KEEPING THE POPULATION AND EACH ONE OF THE DISTRICTS EQUIVALENTLY. YOU KNOW REPRESENTED. I DON'T THINK THAT ANYBODY UP HERE IS GOING TO DISCOUNT SOMEBODY BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE BECAUSE OF THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS BECAUSE OF ANYTHING ELSE, AT LEAST. FOR ALL OF YOU THAT I KNOW OF THERE. I BELIEVE IN MY HEART. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT TO PEOPLE. SO TO COME UP AND SAY THAT THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT, IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG. I MEAN, BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE SAYING THAT. YOUR CO COUNSEL MEMBERS. ARE NOT GOING TO REPRESENT SOMEBODY APPROPRIATELY BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR WHAT? MAYBE IT. AND DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT? I MEAN, I THINK EACH ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE ELECTED BY THE CITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPRESENT EVERYBODY IN THIS CITY EQUALLY. AND I HAVE FAITH THAT WHO WE REPRESENT WHETHER I WANT THEM ELECTED OR NOT, DOESN'T MATTER, BUT AS A CITY AS A WHOLE. WE SHOULD HAVE FAITH THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH AND REPRESENT EVERYBODY EQUALLY, AND I THINK EVERYBODY ON THE COUNCIL SHOULD BE ABLE TO AGREE WITH THAT, UM SO THAT'S MY THING. I THINK AS MINORITIES WE DON'T NEED SOMEBODY TO COME IN AND SAVE US. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED. IF ANYTHING, WE NEED TO GET UP AND SPEAK MORE FOR OURSELVES. WE NEED TO GET UP AND WE NEED TO GET OUT AND WE NEED TO DO IT. THINGS. UM THAT'S WHAT I'M CURRENTLY ENGAGING MYSELF IN IS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND SPEAK AT THEIR CITY COUNCIL SPEAK AT THEIR SCHOOL BOARD SPEAKING ANYTHING THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GONNA BE IN UNDERREPRESENTED FOR AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THIS REDISTRICTING. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A NICE CLEAN ONE LIKE THE REVISED DAY. JUST SO EVERYBODY IS CLEAR AND IT'S EASY TO TELL WHAT DISTRICT THERE IN THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RIGHT. THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE SIGNED

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[00:20:37]

MOVE NOW TO CONSENT AGENDA. THESE ITEMS CONSISTENT NONCONTROVERSIAL HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS REQUIRED BY LAW AND WAS MAYBE CONSIDERED INDIVIDUALLY BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBER MAKING SUCH REQUEST PRIOR TO A MOTION AND VOTE ON THE CONSENT ITEMS. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVED THESE ITEMS SECOND. THIS CAST YOUR VOTES.

[Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Approving the Redistricting of the City’s Single-Member Council Districts and Establishing New District Boundary Lines for McKinney City Council Elections Based on the 2020 Census Data; and Providing for an Effective Date]

MOVE TO THE REGULAR AGENDA. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS AS PORTION AND JENNY CONSIST OF ITEMS REQUIRING INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL. FIRST ITEM IS 2 TO 0576 CONSIDERING ACT ON AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE REDISTRICTING OF THE CITY SINGLE MEMBER COUNCIL DISTRICTS AND ESTABLISHING NEW DISTRICT BOUNDARY LINES FOR MCKINNEY CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS BASED ON THE 2020 CENSUS DATA AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, MR HAUSER GOOD EVENING, MR MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UM THIS ITEM NEEDS NO EXPLANATION. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR SOME TIME NOW.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK . WE HAVE MR SEQUENCED ON THE PHONE IF NEED BE FOR QUESTIONS.

RELATING TO THE PROCESS OR THE MAPS THAT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED. THOSE MAPS ARE ON THE WALL OVER HERE, AND AS YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY , THE PUBLIC IS AWARE THAT WE'VE HAD LOTS OF DRAWING SESSIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THOSE MAPS. BUT WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TONIGHT. AND MR. SEEK MISSED AVAILABLE. CAN YOU HEAR US, OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. WELL, WE'VE HAD A WHOLE LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS ITEM. I. HAVE A STRONG SUSPICION WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE. UM THOUGH WE CERTAINLY DON'T NEED TO. IF THAT IS THE WILL UM BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF COMMENTS MADE. WAS ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION FOR MARK BEFORE WE BEGIN? SO I THINK, UM. YOU KNOW, IT'S DISCUSSION ABOUT A ABOUT DELUDING THE MINORITY VOTE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE NOT HAD A MINORITY MAJORITY DISTRICT. WE'VE HAD SOMETHING THAT WE WE'VE ALWAYS LOOKED AT AS CLOSE TO THAT IN DISTRICT ONE FOR SURE. AND I THINK ALL OF THE MAPS ARE WITHIN A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS OF MAINTAINING THAT SAME MINORITY VOTE, SO I THINK THERE IS. THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION I AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE I'VE GOTTEN CALLS AND WHATNOT WERE PEOPLE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE HAVE TAKEN A MINORITY OF MY MAJORITY DISTRICT, AND WE HAVE CHANGED IT TO BE COMPLETELY DILUTED. AND I THINK THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY BARED OUT TO SHOW A DIFFERENCE OF JUST A FEW 100 BETWEEN SOME OF THE MAPS THAT ARE IN QUESTION. OF MINORITY RESIDENTS IN DISTRICT ONE. IF YOU'RE ON MAP, A REVISED VERSUS MAP D. I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING AGAIN. JUST SEVERAL 100. PEOPLE WHICH REPRESENTS LESS THAN A PERCENTAGE POINT, SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF GRAVE MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY ARE. AND UH SO I'LL JUST START THERE. UM SOMEONE ELSE WANNA JUMP IN WITHD HAVE TALKED MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PROBABLY ANY OTHER ISSUE, AND THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR A YEAR. BUT IT'S ALSO BECAUSE I THINK IT IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IMPORTANT AND I DON'T WANT TO DIMINISH. A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS HERE THERE BECAUSE I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM YOU'VE ALL HEARD MY ARGUMENTS . AND I ACTUALLY DEBATED ON WHETHER OR NOT TO MAKE HIM AGAIN TONIGHT, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING. THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHAT CHOICES WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US BECAUSE THEY ARE CHOICES THAT WE HAVE. WE'RE REALIGNING OUR COUNCIL DISTRICT MAPS TO BALANCE THE POPULATION BETWEEN THE FOUR DISTRICTS. UM, BUT THE BACKDROP TO THAT IS THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS EXIST FOR ONE REASON. IT'S NOT TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO VOTERS, ALTHOUGH THAT'S CERTAINLY BENEFIT. IT'S NOT TO PRETEND TO BE STATISTICIANS OR DEMOGRAPHERS UP HERE EVERY 10 YEARS. THAT WE GET TO DO THAT. THEY EXIST TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE EQUITABLE REPRESENTATION ON THIS COUNCIL. A LITTLE HISTORY THAT 1965 VOTING RIGHTS ACT WAS PASSED IN 1975, TEXAS, CAME UNDER THE PRECLEARANCE REQUIREMENT FOR THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT. DURING THAT

[00:25:02]

TIME IN 1975 TO 19 6 76 CITY OF DALLAS, LOST A LAWSUIT OVER THEIR REPRESENTATION WITH CITYWIDE COUNCIL MEMBER DISTRICTS. AND DECIDED TO CREATE EIGHT SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS AS PART OF THEIR SETTLEMENT. A YEAR AFTER. UH THE APPROACHED THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY MOVED TO ITS EXISTING STRUCTURE OF FOUR SINGLE MEMBER COUNCIL DISTRICTS. CAREER GOES OUT AT THE TIME, SAID QUOTE THE ELECTION YEAR WAS KICKED OFF. WITH THE CHARTER REVISION ISSUE, THE VOTERS DECIDED IN FAVOR OF SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS FROM MCKINNEY BY A VOTE OF 260 TO 37.

THE BOOK VOTERS APPROVED DIVISION OF THE CITY INTO FOUR COUNCILMAN'S DISTRICT. THERE WERE NOT MINE. THE PROPOSALS PLANNING TOOK TWO YEARS AND INCLUDED IN APPROVAL FROM THE U.

S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. NOW THE REASON THAT END QUOTE I SHOULD SAY THE REASON IS TO ULTIMATELY COMPLY WITH THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE EQUITABLE REPRESENTATION ON OUR COUNCIL. EVERY CENSUS CYCLE SENSE. WE'VE DRAWN MAPS WERE REDRAWN THESE MAPS TO DISTRIBUTE THE POPULATION AND WE HAVE THESE MAPS APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. UP UNTIL 20. 11 THE LAST TIME WE DREW MAPS, THERE WAS A PRECLEARANCE REQUIREMENT. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WOULD APPROVE THE MAP TO COUNCIL DREW TO ENSURE THAT WE DIDN'T DIMINISH OR A ROAD. THE MINORITY VOTING POWER OF DISTRICT ONE. UM I THINK THAT IS CALLED A WRECKED THEY EVALUATED WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS ANY RETROGRESSION THAT OCCURRED. THIS YEAR. WE DON'T HAVE A PRECLEARANCE REQUIREMENT.

CASE LAWS HAVE CHANGED. IN 2013 , UNDER A SUPREME COURT CASE CALLED SHELBY VERSUS HOLDER.

SUPREME COURT READ REMOVED THE PRECLEARANCE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL JURISDICTIONS. SO THIS MAP DOESN'T HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WE GET TO DRAW IT AND WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT. NO. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THE NUMBERS THAT I'M USING BECAUSE THESE ARE COMPLEX. AND IT'S HARD WHEN WE'RE NOT ALL LOOKING AT THE SAME NUMBERS ARE NOT ALL LOOKING AT THE MAPS. WE EVALUATE THIS BASED OFF OF THE TOTAL POPULATION. THE CENSUS HAD US AT A POPULATION OF ABOUT 195,000 DIVIDED EQUALLY INTO FOUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS. THAT'S ABOUT 48,000. PEOPLE. TOTAL POPULATION PER COUNCIL DISTRICT. ONE OF THE WAYS WE EVALUATE. THE DISTRIBUTION. OF DEMOGRAPHICS INTO THOSE COUNCIL DISTRICT IS THROUGH WHAT'S CALLED VOTING AGE POPULATION. THAT IS A SMALLER NUMBER. OBVIOUSLY OF EXCLUDES KIDS, BUT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THAT NUMBER UM, IS COMPARE. DIFFERENT. DISTRIBUTIONS BASED OFF THE DEMOGRAPHIC MAKEUP, AND SO WHEN I USE A PERCENTAGE TONIGHT, I WILL TYPICALLY BE TALKING ABOUT THE VOTING AGE POPULATION PERCENTAGE. OF A GROUP. WHEN I USE A TOTAL NUMBER, I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT TOTAL POPULATION, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AND POINT OUT THAT THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT NUMBERS THAT WE USE TO EVALUATE THIS. THERE IS A TERM THAT'S CALLED MAJORITY MINORITY , UM, THAT THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF DRAWING OF SOME OF THESE COUNCIL DISTRICTS OR SOME OF THESE OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND THE COUNTRY, BUT THAT WAS SO THAT YOU HAD A MAJORITY OF ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAD A SIMILAR VOTING INTERESTS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT FIND REPRESENTATION IN A POTENTIAL CITYWIDE ELECTION. BUT IF YOU DREW THEM INTO ONE MAP WHICH WE WERE. LARGELY ABLE TO DO, UM THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF AN ELECTION. THE SECOND WORD IS PLURALITY. AND THAT IS WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A MAJORITY MINORITY OF ONE GROUP ANYMORE, BUT YOU DO HAVE A PLURALITY OF TWO GROUPS, THE GROUPS THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR HISPANICS AND AFRICAN AMERICANS. SO WHEN THIS PROCESS STARTED MR SEAQUEST PRESENTED TO MAPS HE PRESENTED VERSIONS A AND B. WE CREATED VARIATIONS OF THOSE MAPS BASED ON SOME OF OUR PRIORITIES, AND THEN IT RESULTED IN C AND D WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT C AND D AND OUR LAST MEETING AND BUT WITH UH AND IN OUR LAST MEETING, WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT A AGAIN. UM, THERE ARE OTHER MAPS. YOU CAN SEE THEM ALL UP THERE. WE'VE LOOKED AT AND THERE ARE PROBABLY WAYS TO IMPROVE THE ONES WE HAVE. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. SO TONIGHT I'M GONNA SPEND MOST OF MY TIME TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAP A AND WE CAN CALL IT MAP REVISED, BUT THE REVISION

[00:30:06]

DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF IMPACT ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF IT . AND MAP D, WHICH WAS THE VARIATION THAT I THINK IS THE BEST ONE THAT'S IN FRONT OF US. UM SO. WHEN I LOOK AT IT FROM DISTRICT ONE'S PERSPECTIVE. IN 2011. WHEN DISTRICT ONE WAS DRAWN. IT HAD A PLURALITY. OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC VOTING AGE POPULATION. 50.1% MADE UP DISTRICT ONE. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE ADDED ABOUT 3 TO 4000 PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT ONE AND THAT NUMBER HAS GONE DOWN TO 49.27% OF THE VOTING AGE POPULATION IS MADE UP OF HISPANIC OR AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE. 49.27 OF THE VOTING AGE POPULATION. NOW. THE TWO MAPS THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US THAT ARE OPTIONS MAP A, WHICH ADDS ABOUT 12,000 PEOPLE. TAKES THAT PERCENTAGE THAT THAT THAT OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS TO 43.52. IT'S ALMOST A 6% DIFFERENCE FROM WHERE WE ARE TODAY. MAP D, WHICH ALSO ADDS A SIMILAR NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND ACHIEVES THE 48,000 THAT WE NEED TAKES IT TO 46.47 DIFFERENCE OF A LITTLE LESS THAN 3% FROM WHERE WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT SORT OF A LITTLE LESS THAN 3% OF WHERE MAP A WOULD TAKE US. THAT'S TWICE THE IMPACT BETWEEN MAP AND MAP DE SOTO TO DIMINISH THAT. IS I THINK OVERLOOKING, UM, A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. WE DON'T HAVE TO. DO THIS. WE DON'T HAVE TO DILUTE THE MINORITY VOTING POWER BY TWICE. WHAT? WHAT WE HAVE AN OPTION FOR WE HAVE A CHOICE IN FRONT OF US. UM. ANOTHER COMPONENT OF WHY WE HAVE A CHOICE IN THIS. DISTRICT ONE HAS 12,000 TO FEW PEOPLE. IT IS ADJACENT TO DISTRICT TWO. THAT HAS 10,000 TOO MANY PEOPLE. MATT DE FACILITATES THE DIRECT TRANSFER OF THOSE PEOPLE. THE MAP THAT. HEAPS ARE MINORITY VOTING POWER AS STRONG AS WE CAN. ALLOWS FOR A DIRECT TRANSFER OF POPULATION BETWEEN DISTRICT TO DISTRICT ONE. THEY ARE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER. THE TRANSFER IS DIRECT. AND THE POPULATIONS LOOK AS SIMILAR AS POSSIBLE. IT SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE. BUT. WE WANT TO MAKE IT HARDER. WE WANT TO CREATE AN UNDUE IMPACT FOR DISTRICT THREE IN THIS SCENARIO BECAUSE MAPS A AND C RATHER THAN TAKE THAT DIRECT TRANSFER POPULATION THAT DOESN'T DIMINISH THE MINORITY VOTING POWER. WE ULTIMATELY BRING IN AND COMPLICATE THIS TRANSFER. MAP A AND C TRANSFERS DOESN'T GO FROM DISTRICT TO DISTRICT ONE. IT TRANSFERS THAT POPULATION FROM DISTRICT TO DISTRICT THREE. AND THEN A DIFFERENT POPULATION FROM DISTRICT THREE TO DISTRICT ONE. IT IS A LARGE AND UNNECESSARY IMPACT. AND THE REASON I SAY IT'S A LARGE IMPACT. AS IT STANDS, DISTRICT THREE NEEDS TO ADD 5000 PEOPLE 5000 NEW VOTERS 5000 NEW PEOPLE. IN DISTRICT THREE REPRESENTS ABOUT 10% OF THE ULTIMATE SIZE OF THAT DISTRICT. 48,000 PEOPLE 53,010. WHEN WE TRANSFER 12,000 VOTERS 12,000 PEOPLE OUT OF THAT DISTRICT. THAT MEANS THAT DISTRICT THREE NEEDS TO ADD 17,000 PEOPLE. IT WAS LIKE 35% NEW DISTRICT. AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO IT IF WE DIDN'T WANT TO DILUTE THE MINORITY VOTING POWER. WE HAVE A CHOICE. WE'RE MAKING. THIS MORE DIFFICULT THAN WE NEED TO. ANOTHER IMPACT IS ON. THIS IS OVERALL SIZE AND GROWTH. UNDER MAPS A AND C DISTRICT ONE. BECOMES ONE OF THE LARGEST DISTRICTS. AND PUTS THE MAJORITY OF THE FUTURE GROWTH. BASICALLY ALL OF PAINTED TREE AND THE MAJORITY OF NORTHERN MCKINNEY INTO DISTRICT ONE. WHAT THIS WILL DO IS IT WILL FURTHER DILUTE THE MINORITY VOTING POWER OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. WE CAN'T CALCULATE THAT. D MAKES DISTRICT

[00:35:05]

ONE SMALLER. AND IT ULTIMATELY SHARES THAT GROWTH. WITH DISTRICT THREE. SIMILARLY DISTRICT THREE HAS AN UNDUE IMPACT FROM MAPS A AND C IT DOESN'T HAVE GROWTH POTENTIAL.

IT IS SURROUNDED. AND HAS NO OPEN LAND FOR GROWTH. AND SO IN 10 YEARS WHEN WE'D REDRAW THESE MAPS, WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE BACK POPULATION THAT WE THAT THE DISTRICT THREE ULTIMATELY GAVE UP IN ORDER TO FIND THAT GROWTH. SO. I OBVIOUSLY PREFER MAP D HAVE. I'VE CHAMPION DID HAVE VOTED FOR IT. UM WHY I PREFER IT IS BECAUSE IT BEST RETAINS PEOPLE IN THEIR CURRENT DISTRICTS. UM THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY TWO OF THE CRITERIA THAT WE STARTED. WITHIN THIS PROCESS. NUMBER FOUR ON OUR LIST WAS, ALTHOUGH IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT EXISTING DISTRICTS WILL HAVE TO BE ALTERED TO REFLECT REFLECT NEW POPULATION DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE CITY. ANY DISTRICTING PLAN SHOULD BE BASED ON EXISTING DISTRICTS. DISTRICT THREE HAS TO CHANGE. IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO ADD AT LEAST 10% MORE. BUT MAPS A AND C REQUIRE THAT IT ADDS 35% MORE. THAT IS NOT ALIGN WITH OUR RESOLUTION. CRITERIA. UM THE SECOND ONE THAT'S ON THERE IS CONSIDERATION MAY BE GIVEN TO THE PRESERVATION OF INCUMBENT CONSTITUENT RELATIONS BY RECOGNITION OF THE RESIDENTS OF INCUMBENT AND THEIR HISTORY AND REPRESENTING CERTAIN AREAS. ALSO. A PRIORITY THAT WE SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS THAT WE ARE COMPLETELY IGNORING SO THAT WE CAN DILUTE THE MAJORITY. THE MINORITY VOTING INTEREST IN DISTRICT ONE. THESE ARE CHOICES WE ARE MAKING.

THE SECOND REASON I PREFER MAP D IS IT PROTECTS THE MINORITY VOTING POWER? ENTIRE REASON WE DO THIS THE ENTIRE REASON WE HAVE DISTRICTS. AND WHILE WE I CAN'T DRAW A MAP THAT PERFECTS THAT. WE CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP IT A PRIORITY. WE CAN AVOID. SHRINKING THAT PERCENTAGE. BUY TWICE AS MUCH. THIRD IS IT BEST SHARES THE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES AS I MENTIONED. ULTIMATELY. I DON'T QUESTION THE IDEA THAT IT CAN BE IMPROVED. THERE WERE CRITICISMS OF IT REGARDING ITS INCLUSION OF CERTAIN AREAS OF COMMERCIAL IMPACT. BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS THE BEST MAP WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US TODAY. UM AND I'LL JUST ADD THAT WE HAD A BACK AND FORTH FOR A LONG TIME ON C AND D. AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WHEN A IS BROUGHT UP, IT IS NOT A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO IT IS A WORSE VERSION OF C. FOR DISTRICT ONE. IT IS A WORSE VERSION OF C FOR DISTRICT THREE, AND IT'S THE WORST VERSION OF THESE. IT'S THE WORST VERSION OF THE MAPS THAT WE HAVE. FOR THIS CITY. AND SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. YEAH I JUST WOULD ADD THAT. OF COURSE, THAT'S YOUR OPINION ON THE WORST MAP, AND I HAVE TO SAY, JUST TAKE GREAT EXCEPTION AND OFFENSE TO THE COMMENT THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS AND YOU SAID YOU SAID PROBABLY FIVE TIMES IF WE DIDN'T WANT TO DILUTE. THE MINORITY DISTRICT. MY I TAKE GREAT OFFENSE TO THAT, BECAUSE THE REASONS THAT I HAVE FOR CONSIDERING ANOTHER MAP. HAS ZERO TO DO WITH WANTING TO DILUTE THAT CHARACTERIZATION IS OFFENSIVE AND RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE IN MY OPINION. IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WANTING TO DILUTE WHEN I LOOK AT IT FOR ME . I LOOK AT THE, UM CERTAINLY THE MINORITY POPULATION AND, UH AND ALL THESE DISTRICTS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR CRITERIA FOR ME, AND SO WHEN I LOOK AT IT, AND I THINK WE GO FROM 730,300 AND ONE MINORITY POPULATION. I'M NOT. I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNT DROPPING . UM 300 PEOPLE. UH BUT I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT I'VE INCREASED BY TWO POINTS OVER IN DISTRICT THREE, A MINORITY POPULATION HAVE INCREASED IT IN OTHER DISTRICTS. WE ARE SEEING OUR CITY BECOME VERY DIVERSE AND ALL OF OUR DISTRICTS, BUT JUST THE CHARACTERIZATION OF MAKING A CHOICE BECAUSE WANTING TO DILUTE I CAN'T SAY IT ANY STRONGER THAN REALLY OFFENSIVE. UM. THAT ASIDE SOME OF THE THINGS FOR ME, WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WANTING TO DILUTE A MINORITY VOTE. IS YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS I HAVE AN ISSUE AND HAVE HAD AN ISSUE FOR AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN IN THE CITY

[00:40:06]

THAT AS LONG AS DISTRICT THREE HAS CARVED OUT THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN IN A PART OF DISTRICT ONE THAT PRETTY MUCH I COULD WALK 100 HOMES OVER THERE, AND MOST ARE GOING TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE IN DISTRICT ONE. THEY DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE IN DISTRICT THREE. I WAS A COMMENT MADE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY I'D SLEEP THAT STAND ALONE. I FEEL THAT HISTORIC DOWNTOWN IS A IS A REAL IMPORTANT PARTNER SEATS VERY VALUED. BUT. LOCATION IN OUR CITY ASSET OF OUR CITY. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT IT WAS A DISSERVICE TO CARVE IT OUT OF DISTRICT ONE. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I'VE HAD AN ISSUE WITH WITH THE MAP AND I AND I SAY THIS HATING THE IMPACT THAT IT HAS ON YOU. DOCTOR FELT THIS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I OF COURSE VALUE YOU A LOT. I WORKED VERY HARD ON YOUR CAMPAIGN. I HOPE TO BE IF YOU RUN AGAIN, I'D BE DOING THE SAME THING. THE NEXT TIME YOU RUN, AND I HATE IF THERE IS A NEGATIVE IMPACT FOR YOU I CAME TO A PLACE FOR ME WHERE I WANTED TO MAKE A DECISION BASED ON WHAT I THOUGHT WAS BEST MOVING FORWARD. IF I TOOK ALL OF US OUT OF THE EQUATION AND WAS JUST MAKING THE DECISION BASED ON WHAT IS INTUITIVELY THE RIGHT DISTRICTS? WHAT? WHAT ACHIEVES THE NUMBERS . WHAT HAS VERY VERY YOU KNOW, HAD TO HAVE VERY LITTLE IMPACT ON MINORITY, UM, POPULATION IN THE DISTRICTS, UM, ALSO TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL INFLUENCE ASPECTS OF THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS BUT AGAIN ALSO TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION FOR ME, UM CARVING OUT. ARGUABLY A, UH I WON'T USE THAT ADJECTIVE JUST CARVING OUT HISTORIC DOWNTOWN HISTORIC PART OF SERVICE TO THEM TO HAVE TWO REPRESENTATIVES IN THAT AREA. I DON'T SEE THAT AS A DISSERVICE. I THINK IT'S AN ADVANTAGE FOR THEM BECAUSE WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. HAVING TWO REPRESENTATIVES ON COUNCIL FOR THEM IS A GOOD THING, AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALREADY. TALKING ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT OF CONCERNS OF THOSE CONSTITUENTS AND HAVING THAT DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO REPRESENTATIVES. I DON'T SEE THE DISSERVICE LET LET ME BLACK OF CONGRUENCE C AND THE GOALS FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO REPRESENTATIVES FIVE REPRESENTATIVES YEAH, PRESENTED TO DOWNTOWN. THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD FIVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOWNTOWN. I WOULD SAY THAT WITHOUT GETTING INTO SPECIFIC. I WANT TO BRING UP SOME OF THESE ISSUES RIGHT NOW. BUT BUT THERE ARE THERE ARE ISSUES IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ON THE SQUARE. THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT. TWO MEMBERS OF DISTRICT ONE AS WE KNOW, DISTRICT ONE TODAY. THAT MAY NOT BE AS IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF DISTRICT THREE IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE DISTRICT THREE IS NOT JUST THAT AREA AND IF IT WAS JUST THAT AREA BE ONE THING, BUT THERE'S ALSO OVER TO THE WEST SIDE OF CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, WHICH MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME.

PRIORITIES SAME CONCERNS FOR CONDITIONS THAT MAY EXIST IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. AND WITHOUT.

GOING DEEPER INTO THAT SUBJECT. I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. I DO BELIEVE THAT UM. NUMBER ONE. I BELIEVE THAT IF DISTRICT THREE WAS NOT, INCLUDING THAT THERE'S NOT AN OUNCE OF ME THAT BELIEVES THAT DR DRE FELT THIS WOULDN'T BE REPRESENTING THAT PART OF THE CITY AS DILIGENTLY IN HIS VIGILANTLY AS SHE IS RIGHT NOW. THERE IS NO PART OF ME THAT WOULD YOU KNOW IF I WAS A DISTRICT PERSON, UM I SEE NO BOUNDARY DISTRICT WISE AND MY UR ANY ANY ASPECT OF THE COMMUNITY AND IF YOU'RE NOT IF DISTRICT THREE WAS NOT DOWNTOWN. WOULD THERE BE ANY LESS CONCERN FROM YOU FOR THAT AREA, WHETHER IT BE ANY LESS PERFORMANCE FROM YOU? I THINK YOU CAN MAKE THE ARGUMENT BOTH WAYS, THEN SO WHY WOULD YOU REMOVE THE REPRESENTATION? IF THE REPRESENTATION HAS BEEN GOOD , SO FAR, WHAT? WHAT IS THE NEED TO CHANGE IT AT THIS POINT, IF IT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED THE WAY IT IS I TOTALLY AGREE IF I WAS FOR ME IF I WAS MAKING A DECISION WITH WITH YOU AND THE CURRENT COUNCIL PERSON IN PERPETUITY I WOULDN'T MAKE THE DECISION TO CHANGE IT. I WOULD LEAVE IT. BUT BUT BUT WE'RE NOT MAKING A DECISION BASED ON KNOWING WHO'S GOING TO BE REPRESENTING IN ONE YEAR TO YEAR , FOUR YEARS, EIGHT YEARS WE'RE MAKING A DECISION FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. SO IF IT IF THAT WAS THE DECISION BEFORE US TODAY, THAT COUNCILWOMAN FILTERS WOULD BE REPRESENTING THAT AREA. PERPETUITY. UM. AND ME MAKING DECISION THAT I'VE THAT I AM MAKING WOULD CHANGE THAT. I WOULDN'T BE MAKING THE DECISION. BUT I'M NOT DOING IT. MY THOUGHT IS NOT ABOUT CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE CURRENT PERSONALITIES. CURRENT

[00:45:02]

COMMITMENT, CURRENT ANYTHING IT'S ABOUT. ALL OF 77 PEOPLE, NOT ON COUNCIL JUST LOOKING AT THE DISTRICTS. STAND ALONE. WITH WHOEVER MAYBE IN REPRESENTING SO I DISAGREE. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING FOR THIS SEAT, IT IS A UNIQUE POSITION BECAUSE THERE IS YOU KNOW THAT SECTION EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE. YOU HAVE TO GO CAMPAIGN WITH THOSE FOLKS. AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO WIN DISTRICT THREE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, EAST OF 75 PRIORITIES EAST OF 75. BECOME YOUR PRIORITY WHEN YOU RUN FOR THIS SEAT. AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. I DON'T SEE THE NEED TO CHANGE THAT. I, YOU KNOW, JUST TO MAKE A FEW MORE. POINTS AND WE'VE BEAT THIS HORSE TO DEATH FOR SURE, BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS.

AND THERE YOU'RE RIGHT. IS IT A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS? YES, THAT DILUTES MINORITY. WHAT VOTE? THERE ARE A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS. BUT MY RACE MR TORRES KNOWS THIS BETTER THAN ANYONE.

THE CAMPAIGN. THE WINNING OF THIS SEAT CAN BE SWAYED BY TWO OR 3% PERCENTAGE POINTS. AND TO SUGGEST THAT THAT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT NOT DILUTING THEM. MINORITY VOTE IT MATTERS HUGELY. WE ALREADY HAVE A DISTRICT THAT IS LOSING GROUND. SO MY QUESTION TO THIS COUNCIL IS WHAT IS THE LEGACY YOU WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND? THAT'S MY QUESTION WHEN I'M LOOKING AT NOT JUST THE ENTIRE CITY FOR DISTRICT THREE AS WELL, BECAUSE MY PRIORITIES FOR DISTRICT THREE IS THAT WE MAINTAIN AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW THAT WE KEEP NORTH OF 3 80 THAT WE KEEP EAST OF 75. THOSE WERE MY PRIORITIES . NONE OF THAT IS REPRESENTED IN THE MAPS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. ON A N C. REVISED A AND C. NONE OF THOSE ARE MET THERE. UM BUT A HUGE IMPACT ON DILUTING OUT THE MINORITY VOTE. WHERE YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO, OR YOU'RE INTENTIONALLY DO IT OR NOT, UNINTENTIONALLY, YOU COULD BE VOTING TO DILUTE IT OUT FURTHER AND THIS IS ALREADY IN AN AREA WHERE WE ARE COMING IN TO GENTRIFY. TRUE THE EAST SIDE OF MCKINNEY, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT WE'RE GONNA PUT THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX THERE. WE HAVE TUFTS GOING ON OVER THERE. WE ARE GOING TO SEE HUGE GENTRIFICATION ON THE EAST SIDE , SO PEOPLE ALREADY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE LOSING THEIR HOMES. THEY'RE LOSING THEIR POWER. THEY'RE LOSING THEIR VOICES. AND NOW WE'RE GONNA ADD TO THAT WE'RE GOING TO DILUTE OUT YOUR VOTE. AND SO WHETHER IT'S INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL. THE LEGACY WE LEAVE BEHIND FOR DISTRICT ONE IS WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR VOICE OR YOUR POWER IN THIS CITY. THAT'S HOW THE RESIDENTS FEEL. I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS FROM HAVING A MINORITY PERSPECTIVE. THAT'S WEST OF 75. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE MINORITY POPULATION EAST OF 75 IS WE ARE LOSING GROUND. WE ARE LOSING POWER. WE ARE LOSING OUR VOICE IN THIS CITY, AND THAT IS THE LEGACY WE ARE ABOUT TO IMPLEMENT IF WE ARE GOING TO BE VOTING FOR ANY OTHER MAP OTHER THAN D, I THINK WE SHOULD BE STRINGENT. DO WE HAVE TO DO IT? WE DON'T HAVE TO. JUSTIN HAS GONE THROUGH THAT EXTENSIVELY. ALREADY. WE ARE NOT MANDATED BY ANYONE TO CONSIDER IT JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MANDATED DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T STRONGLY. CONSIDER WHAT IS AHEAD OF US THE FUTURE OF THIS CITY. IT'S GOING TO BE CHANGING DRAMATICALLY. WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO PRESERVE THE MINORITY PERSPECTIVE, THE MINORITY VOTING POWER THEIR VOICES BEING HEARD THEIR CHOICE FOR REPRESENTATION IS WHAT WE SHOULD DO. MY BIGGER SPHERE IS AS WE ALLOW DISTRICT ONE TO LOOP UP AND TAKE OVER ALL OF WHAT WILL BE PAINTED TREE IN AUBURN HILLS. IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE VERY STRONG CANDIDATES COME OUT OF THOSE AREAS AND THEN NOT EVEN ANYTHING EAST OF 75 WILL HAVE A REPRESENTATION. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY CONSIDERED. BUT WE ARE LOSING GROUND. I CANNOT. I CANNOT, BUT LET ME THAT MAKES IT THAT MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON OUR FUTURE. SO YOU ARE YOU'RE A MINORITY. ONE DISTRICT THREE DISTRICT THREE BY TAKING OUT THE I'LL USE THE TERM PENINSULA RIGHT NOW, THE PART THAT EXTENDS OVER BEYOND THE ONLY PIECE THAT'S CARVED OUT OF DISTRICT ONE IS DISTRICT THREE. IF WE PUT THAT IN DISTRICT ONE WERE SAYING THAT THAT DILUTES THE MINORITY VOTE, WHICH IN OTHER WORDS WOULD MEAN THAT THERE IS, OF COURSE, LESS MINORITY IN THAT PENINSULA. NOT JUST THAT, BUT YOU'RE NOT JUST ONE, BUT BUT LET ME BUT LET ME KNOW, BUT I WANT TO STICK TO THIS PENINSULA. THIS PENINSULA. AS HAS MUCH LESS OF A MINORITY VOTE IN IT. YES. SO YOU WON DISTRICT THREE. WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOU ONLY WON BECAUSE OF THAT PART OF DISTRICT THREE BECAUSE, BUT THAT'S A STRONG VOTER GROUP. A STRONG ROTOR GROUP. THAT IS, IT'S NOT A MINORITY MAJORITY OF POPULATION AND YOU AND YOU WON THAT AND I BELIEVE YOU WANT, OF COURSE, BECAUSE YOU ARE QUALIFIED AND YOU ARE AWESOME. AND YOU ARE GREAT COUNCIL PERSON. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY YOU WANT IT FOR SURE , BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE

[00:50:01]

ACCURATE POINT TO THAT PENINSULA AND MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT LOSING THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO HAVE BEEN ELECTED. I DON'T I DON'T SEE THAT. NO BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT EASY FOR THE MAJORITY OF MINORITIES WHO RUN FOR OFFICE. I'M GONNA BE HONEST . THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAME INTO PERFECT PLACE FOR ME TO WIN THE SEAT. I DON'T THINK YOU MAKE IT VERY EASY FOR ANYONE ELSE EAST OF 75 TO COME UP AND TAKE THIS POSITION. YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT HARDER. AND TWO OR THREE OR 4% POINTS MAKES A HUGE BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THREE OR FOUR. WHAT ARE YOU HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER? I THINK, UM 15,00S WHAT THAT SWINGS AN ENTIRE ELECTION. CAN'T SWING AN ENTIRELY DIDN'T HEAR THOSE NUMBERS WELL, 126 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAP A AND DEED AND WHAT IN POPULATION AND VOTING AGE POPULATIONS AND CITIZEN VOTING AGE POPULATION, BLACKS AND HISPANICS FOR THOSE TWO GROUPS FOR THE POPULATION IN VOTING AGE POPULATION, AND WE DIDN'T I DIDN'T EVEN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE ACTUAL REGISTERED VOTERS BECAUSE IF YOU DO THE ACTUAL REGISTERED VOTERS, YOU CAN'T EVEN THERE'S NO WAY TO EVEN GET CLOSE TO EVEN PROBABLY 40. MINORITY DISTRICT. YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE. JUST TRYING TO BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT NUMBERS YOU'RE USING. I JUST ADDED THE BLACKNESS. HISPANICS OF THOSE TWO IS THAT VOTING AGE POPULATION OR POPULATION POPULATION BECAUSE THE VOTING AGE POPULATION AND WE CAN GET THESE NUMBERS OUT. IT IS A 2.95% DIFFERENCE. BETWEEN MAP A REVISED IN MY SEAT IN MY D. IF YOU TAKE 2.95% ARE YOU COUNTING THE BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE ONLY COUNTY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS. THE NUMBERS THAT I DO THE NUMBERS AND I SEE THAT THE NUMBERS THAT'S THE ABSOLUTE NUMBER SO HE'S TALKING ABOUT. HE'S TALKING ABOUT RIGHT? I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ELECTIONS HAS VERY RECENTLY. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT SAYING HISPANIC TOTAL VOTER VOTING AGE POPULATION DISTRICT ONE FOR THOSE OUT THERE, NOT LOOKING AT THESE SAME NUMBERS IS 29.1% IN MAP D AND IS 28.46% AND MAP A SO ON THE VOTING AGE POPULATION, IT'S JUST OVER A HALF A PERCENTAGE POINT ON HISPANIC. SO WE SHOULD WE SHOULD BE TALKING. ACCURATE NUMBERS THERE. MR MAYOR, UM, JUSTIN, AND YOU'RE A HAVE BOTH COME OUT THAT THEY'RE ADVOCATING FOR MAP. D UM, YOU HAVEN'T COME OUT WITH WHAT YOU'RE ADVOCATING FOR. WHEN WE STARTED THE LAST MEETING, WE WERE BETWEEN C AND D. AND THEN IN THE LAST MEETING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS YOU BROUGHT IN A MAP. A WHAT YOU'RE ADVOCATING FOR YES, I AM ADVOCATING FOR MAYBE A REVISED REVISED SORRY. COUNCILMAN ROGERS BROUGHT UP A REVISED WHEREAS A WAS PRESENTED AS THE GOOD MAP. WHY A REVISED BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE RESIDENTS THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR A COUNCIL MEMBER THAT IS CURRENTLY IN DISTRICT FOR THE BE PLACED OUT. OKAY SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAP A MAP A REVISED HAS TO DO WITH A COUNCIL MEMBER WHO CURRENTLY OWNS SOME LAND THERE THAT MAY MOVE THERE IS MOVING THERE HAS A HOMESTEAD BEING BUILT IN ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS TO NOT DISTRICT OUT. SOME REMEMBER THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP. UM LET ME SAY A FEW THINGS SINCE I'M TALKING. UM WHEN I MOVED TO MCKINNEY IN 1996 THE EAST SIDE WAS HE RATHER MEANINGFUL PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION. UH IN THE EAST SIDE, I WILL DEFINE AS I ALWAYS HAVE EAST OF THE TRACKS SOUTH OF 3 80 , NORTH OF AIRPORT EAST OF AIRPORT ROAD. AS MCKINNEY GREW FROM 35,000 PEOPLE WHEN I MOVED HERE TO THE ROUGHLY 2 10 THAT WE'RE AT NOW. IT'S A LESS PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION RIGHT? BECAUSE IF WE LOOK AT WHERE IS THE GROWTH, THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH GROWTH THERE ON THE EAST SIDE AS I DEFINE IT VERY LITTLE RIGHT. BUT HERE'S THE THING. MM HMM. THAT IS WHERE THE MINORITIES WERE HISTORICALLY IN OUR TOWN WHERE THE MINORITIES NOW IS WORTH 2 10. I WOULD, AND I'M NOT THE DEMOGRAPHER AND I CAN'T SAY I'VE LOOKED AT THIS STUFF GRADUALLY, BUT I HAVE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE BREAKOUTS.

AND WHEN I REMEMBER I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION IN MCKINNEY, AND IT'S ALL SPREAD OUT. AND I WOULD MAKE THE CASE THAT A LOT OF THE MULTI FAMILY THAT WE'RE BUILDING HAS A RELATIVELY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC POPULATION. OKAY I WOULD SAY

[00:55:08]

THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE AND WHERE WE BUILDING MULTIFAMILY. PRETTY MUCH ALONG HIGHWAYS. WE'RE NOT PUTTING IT. IN THE EAST SIDE, RIGHT? SO. THAT'S WHY WE COME UP WITH MAP D. IF WE'RE TRYING TO HONOR A MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICT TO THE BEST WE CAN THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT MAP D NOW THE TWO BIG DEBATES HERE SEEM TO ME TO ME BETWEEN SYMMETRY. AND HONORING THAT THAT PAST LEGACY.

THEORETICALLY THE WAY I LOOK AT IT AS A FIDUCIARY FOR THE TAXPAYER, THE CITY MCKINNEY'S I COULD WE COULD GET BEAT UP ON EITHER WAY, RIGHT? SOMEONE COULD BEAT US UP ON EITHER WAY, RIGHT ? OH MY GOD. LOOK AT THIS THING. YOU DID THIS GERRYMANDERING. WHATEVER OR LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

YOU DIDN'T HONOR THE MAJORITY MINORITY AS BEST YOU COULD. THE WORST OPTICS FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. IT IS THE LATTER. YOU SAYING YOU DIDN'T DO THE BEST JOB TO HONOR THE MAJORITY MINORITY? I REALLY, REALLY BELIEVE THAT AS WE PROCEED WITH THIS THING, WE HONOR THAT WE HONORED THE MAJORITY MINORITY TO THE BEST EXTENT WE CAN. IS IT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ELECTION? I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT CAN NEVER BE PROVEN, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY BECAUSE IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, I'VE RECEIVED MORE EMAILS THAN I EVER HAVE ON ANY ISSUE THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH. AND THAT'S THIS AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. HAS SAID DON'T VOTE FOR MAP A MAP. SEE SF COME DOWN ON COMPLETELY. I WILL TAKE A SYMMETRY. I WILL TAKE COMPANIES BY AND LARGE BEING IN MAP. D AND IN DISTRICT ONE, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST A BOWL OF WARM AIR. COMPANIES DON'T VOTE AND I GUARANTEE YOU THE ONE COMPANY THAT I KNOW OF. THAT I CAN THINK OF, BESIDES POPEYE'S CHICKEN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S GOING TO WIND UP IN DISTRICT ONE IS TRACKS US. IF THEY'VE GOT A PROBLEM, CHANCES THEM CALLING ALL OF US BORDER ON 100% THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT DISTRICT THERE IN WE ALL GET THOSE CALLS. SO. MR TREVINO. I'M NOT A LAWYER. I THINK IF YOU WIND UP FILING A SUIT, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO GO ANYWHERE FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ AND I'VE TRIED TO READ UP A LOT ON THIS THING, BUT YOU'RE FREE TO DO IT, BUT JUST THE OPTICS OF YOU SAYING IT. OR WHAT I'M TRYING TO AVOID FOR THE CITY MCKINNEY. THANK YOU, MR BEAR. SO I WANTED TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS. UM, DOCTOR FELT AS YOU WERE SAYING. WHERE IT WAS BEING SET DOWN THERE THAT WITHOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A TOUGHER TIME AND JUST STATISTICALLY, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ONE YEAR RACE WITHOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. AND I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE, UM ON ON OUR RADAR THAT THAT IS A COMPONENT OF THIS UM, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO SAY THAT? BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO WHO DON'T WE DON'T KNOW. SHE WON HER RACE BY ABOUT 195 VOTES. AND SHE ONE PRECINCT ONE BY ABOUT 205, OKAY? UM, STAND CORRECTED. THE. MR MAYOR. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE OFFENSIVE TO AN INDIVIDUAL OR TWO. YOU CERTAINLY NOT TO. YOU HAVE TRIED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MY WORDS IN THIS. BYE BYE. MY INSINUATION THAT OF UH UM.

WE'RE WANTING TO DO THIS IS WE HAVE A CHOICE IN FRONT OF US. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS. AND SO IF WE MAKE THE CHOICE WE MAKE THAT CHOICE WILLINGLY. AND SO THAT IS OUR INTENT TO DO IT IS THAT WE MAKE A CHOICE WILLINGLY IN THIS. WE DON'T HAVE A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE THAT STEPS OVER OUR SHOULDERS AND REQUIRES PRECLEARANCE. AND SO THAT WAS NOT AN OFFENSE TO YOU. IT WAS SIMPLY STATING THAT WE HAVE A CHOICE IN FRONT OF US. AND IF WE CHOOSE TO DIMINISH THAT VOTE WE CHOOSE IT OURSELVES. UM. I DO WANT TO ADDRESS ONE THING YOU MENTIONED ABOUT. WE'RE LOOKING FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD OF TIME, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT AND KIND OF IN OUR CRITERIA POINTS THIS OUT. IF DR FELTUS DECIDES TO RUN AGAIN AND REPRESENT HER DISTRICT AGAIN, SHE REPRESENTS THAT DISTRICT FOR SIX YEARS OF THOSE 10 YEARS THAT WE'RE DRAWING THIS MAP FOR. I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD UM, DISCOUNT THAT SERVICE THAT THAT THAT 60% OF THIS TIME PERIOD OF SERVICE BECAUSE THE OUTCOME AT THE END OF THE 10 YEAR PERIOD ULTIMATELY HAVE A DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVE. UM THE THIRD THING I WANTED TO MENTION UM AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY

[01:00:03]

CLEAR THIS. THE HISTORIC DISTRICT HAS NEVER BEEN PART OF DISTRICT ONE. AND SO I JUST I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE USING WORDS LIKE CARVING IT OUT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT THAT THE WAY THIS POPULATION CENTER HAS GROWN, ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IS ALL OF THE DISTRICTS USED TO HAVE CONNECTIVITY TO THE POPULATIONS EAST OF 75. BUT AS POPULATIONS HAVE MOVED WEST THOSE DISTRICTS HAVE CONTINUED TO EVOLVE WEST. AND SO IF WE WOULD SEE AN OVERLAY OF THE DISTRICT FROM 1980 WHEN WE FIRST DREW THESE TWO NOW YOU WOULD SEE THIS MIGRATION OF ALL THE DISTRICTS MOVING EAST TO WEST BECAUSE OUR POPULATION GROWTH HAS HAPPENED TO THE WEST. IT'S THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED IN 2010, WHERE DISTRICT THREE AND DISTRICT ONE NEEDED TO ADD POPULATION AND THEY TOOK IT FROM DISTRICTS FOR AND DISTRICTS TO. WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING THIS TIME IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AS LONG AS WE HAD POPULATION TO THE WEST, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AND BE CLEAR. THE HISTORIC DISTRICT HAS NEVER BEEN PART OF DISTRICT ONE CONFUSION ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE WHO LIVE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BEING IN DISTRICT ONE IS NOT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE. WE'LL PIGGYBACK OFF OF WHAT DOCTOR FELT HAS SAID ABOUT TWO REPS BEING GOOD FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. ONE IS OBVIOUSLY THE CONTINUITY OF IT BECAUSE THAT DISTRICT OR THAT AREA HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF DISTRICT THREE. BUT ALSO EAST OF 75 HAS EXPOSURE TO A LOT OF UNIQUE THINGS, AND THOSE UNIQUE THINGS COME WITH UNIQUE DEMANDS OF A COUNCILMAN COUNCIL PERSON THAT HAS LIMITED OAS. IT HAS UNIQUE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES. WE HAVE ALLEYWAYS THAT I GET MORE CALLS ON. THEN ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO CREEKS WITHOUT H OAS. WE HAVE A STORAGE PRESERVATION, AND THAT'S JUST TO NAME A FEW. KEEPING THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND DISTRICT THREE IS GOOD FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, AND IT'S GOOD FOR DISTRICT ONE. UM I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HOW FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS DIFFERENCE WE ARE. WE'RE GOING FROM 49.27. AND WE HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT THAT IN 2010 WHEN THEY WERE FACED WITH THIS SAME DILEMMA. THEY CAME OUT THE EXISTING MAP. FOR DISTRICT ONE. SO THE MAPS THAT EXISTED IN 2000 THAT WAS STILL THERE AT THE END OF 2010. HAD A PLURALITY OF HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS OF 56.5% SO THAT IS BEFORE REDISTRICTING IN 2010.

COUNCIL DREW A MAP. THEY DREW THAT PERCENTAGE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 47.7% AND IF YOU WOULD SEE THEIR MAP, I WISH I COULD HAVE IT UP HERE TO SHOW IT TO YOU. THEY HAD DISTRICT ONE AT THE SOUTH. WEST CORNER OF CUSTER. AND 3 80. THE ENTIRE NORTH SIDE. OF OUR CITY AND DISTRICT ONE.

THAT WAS THE PLAN. AND THAT HAD A 47.7% PLURALITY OF HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTING POPULATIONS. THE CITIZENS SAID. WE WANT YOU TO TRY TO MAINTAIN THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THEY ADJUSTED THAT MAP. THEY DREW THE MAP WE HAVE, WHICH THEY CALLED PLAN H, BUT IT'S THE MAP WE HAVE TODAY AND AT THE TIME THAT THEY REDREW THAT MAP. IT WAS 50.1% AND AFRICAN AMERICANS, SO THEY MADE A CHOICE 10 YEARS AGO AT THE REQUEST OF CITIZENS TO SHIFT THEIR POPULATION. THIS PERCENTAGE THAT WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT BY 2.4% TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH AS THEY COULD, AND THAT HAS BEEN GOOD FOR THE DELUSION. OF MINORITY VOTING POWER IN MCKINNEY BECAUSE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, DISTRICT ONE WENT FROM 50.1, WHICH WAS WHAT THEY DREW IT AT TWO AS IT EXISTS BEFORE WE REDISTRICT. AT 49.27. THAT'S GOOD. WHEN WE DECIDE. TO DRY IT OUT A MAP OF 43. AND A HALF PERCENT AND THEN WE HAVE ALL OF THE GROWTH THAT DELUSION IS GOING TO GO MUCH FURTHER THAN IS NECESSARY. AND WE DON'T ACCOMPLISH A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE OF IT. THE LAST THING I WANT TO POINT OUT JUST FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WHY THESE DELUSIONS HAPPEN THE AREAS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SWITCHING. ONE AREA THAT WE'VE TALKED. A LOT ABOUT IS THE AREA AROUND BAYLOR, EVERYTHING WEST OF LIKE FOREST THAT INCLUDES THE AUBURN HILLS, AND THE HEATHER WOULD

[01:05:06]

DISTRICTS THAT IS A POPULATION A TOTAL POPULATION OF ABOUT 8676 PEOPLE IN THIS CENSUS. IT HAS A HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTING AGE POPULATION PERCENTAGE OF 23.8. SO DISTRICT ONE, WHICH HAS THAT 49.27 COMBINED WITH THIS AREA AT 23.8. MIX. POORLY IN TERMS OF. DELUDING THE MINORITY VOTING AGE POPULATION. PERCENTAGE THAT THE DOGLEG THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DOGLEG ALONG. I CALL IT THE DOG LIKE BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF STICKS OUT THERE ALONG 1 21. IS A TOTAL POPULATION OF 6819 PEOPLE. IT HAS A HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTING AGE POPULATION PERCENTAGE OF 37, A HALF PERCENT. IT LOOKS A LOT MORE LIKE DISTRICT ONE. AND THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU ADD THE MAPS LIKE B , WHICH WAS IN MR SEAQUEST ORIGINAL THING AND HOW WE REVISED IT TO D. WE DON'T DILUTE THE MINORITY VOTING POWER AS MUCH WITH THOSE MAPS AND IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE ADDING POPULATIONS THAT LOOK MORE LIKE DISTRICT ONE AND JUST TO THROW IT IN HERE. I DON'T HAVE THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS TOTAL POPULATION AND PERCENTAGE, BUT THE LITTLE AREA THAT WE ADDED IN MAP D THAT IS AROUND THE RAYTHEON CAMPUS HAS A VOTING AGE POPULATION OF HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICANS, PERCENTAGE OF 34.5% AND SO ULTIMATELY THOSE AREAS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO DISTRICT ONE THAT LOOKED LIKE DISTRICT ONE DO A BETTER JOB OF NOT DILUTING THE MINORITY VOTING POWER WITHIN DISTRICT ONE. OR CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? THERE WAS A CHANGE.

2010 OR WHENEVER 11 WHAT WAS THE CHANGE, TOO? THREE. THREE AND ONE. THERE. THAT THE PENINSULA WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, WE ENDED UP WITH MAPPING H. I'VE GOT THOSE MAPS IF WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT THEM ON A SCREEN. THERE WAS A CHANGE OF YEAH. SOME WHAT'S AN EFFORT SIGNIFICANCE BUT IT WASN'T. I THINK I THINK COUNCILOR BELLA IS CORRECT. IT WAS CHANGING ONE. DISTRICT ONE DISTRICT ONE WAS, UM ALL EAST OF 75, NORTH OF 3 80. I BELIEVE EAST OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE UM TENNESSEE AND THEN SOUTH OF VERY CLOSE TO THE SIMILAR BORDER THAT THAT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT HAS.

NOW THE DISTRICT THREE HAS NOW KIND OF THAT. MORE OF A SQUARE. YEAH, THE THAT'S RIGHT. SO THE BLUE LINE WAS THE EXISTING LINES , AND THIS WAS THE 2010 PLANTS. MADE IT MORE COMPACT. SO CHANGE ABOUT 40% OR SOMETHING. YEAH IT SHRUNK THE AREA THAT INCLUDES ME. IT ADDED ME INTO DISTRICT ONE. BUT I BELIEVE THAT LINE IS PROBABLY DRAWN AROUND. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PREDATED IF IT WAS PRECINCT ONE EXISTED AT THAT POINT. AND WE DREW THE BOUNDARY TO MATCH PRECINCT ONE OR PRECINCT ONE WAS DRAWN TO MATCH THAT BOUNDARY. BUT THAT BOUNDARY MATCHES PRECINCT LINE. OTHER COMMENTS. NO COMMENTS. I'LL MOVE TO, UM THAT WE APPROVE THE REDISTRICTING OF SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS AS OUTLINED IN MAP A REVISED I'LL SECOND. WE ALL GOT KICKED OUT OF HER. I GOT KICKED OUT OF MY MEETING. HMM. IT'S COMING BACK. WHAT'S THAT? GENTLEMEN. NO. YES. NO. I AM

[01:10:02]

VERY, VERY CONFLICTED. I KNOW WE BEAT THIS TO THE GROUND, BUT THERE ARE SOME COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE TODAY THAT THAT CERTAINLY HAVE ME. RETHINKING. MY POSITION ON A SPECIFICALLY ON THE ON THE ON THE GROWTH. UM. OR LACK THEREOF . ABILITY FOR GROWTH IN THE, UH IN DISTRICT THREE. WITH THE MAP THAT WE HAVE. I'M NOT PREPARED TO VOTE FOR IT. AT THIS POINT.

I'M GOING TO SAY NO. YES. NO. YES. THAT MOTION DOES NOT PASS. THE ONLY OTHER MAP THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED WITH ANY MERIT OR ANY REAL, UM ADVOCACY IS D. I WILL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE MAP D. SECOND DEBT. I STILL HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BAPTISTE BASED ON THE ARGUMENTS THAT I'VE MADE BEFORE. SO I'M NOT PREPARED TO VOTE FOR D EITHER. UNFORTUNATELY, LET'S DO A VOICE VOTE THAT COULD HAPPEN. MIRA FULLER. NO. PROTIUM NO. YES. YES. NO. WHAT'S THE SCORE RIGHT NOW? NO. NEXT I GET A VOTE, EMPRESS, OR DO I ABSTAIN ON THIS ONE? I VOTED? YES, ON MY COMPUTER, BUT YEAH, HE DIDN'T CALL MY NAME. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IS WE NOT THE MOTION HAS PASSED. AND I AND I CERTAINLY REALIZED THAT APPARENTLY, I WAS A COULD HAVE ANY ONE OF US.

COULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT VOTE AND CHANGE THE COURSE OF IT. BUT THERE WERE THINGS SAID TONIGHT THAT THAT GIVES ME PAUSE AND I HAVE TO GO WITH WITH MY WHAT? I WHAT I FELT TONIGHT AND SOME OF THEM SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS THAT WERE MADE. I DON'T HOWEVER, THERE WASN'T ARGUMENTS MADE THAE OTHER ISSUES THAT I HAVE FROM THE CORPORATE SIDE TO HISTORIC DOWNTOWN TO INTUITIVENESS. SO I GUESS WHAT THIS DOES IS FORCES INTO YET A LITTLE MORE DIALOGUE. NOT TONIGHT. WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THIS DECISION TONIGHT. SO UM, KIND OF GETTING WORRIED WOULD STILL BE HERE WHEN WE REDISTRICTED. THREE. WE MAY WE MAY VERY WELL, BUT LISTEN, I CAME HERE WITH A VERY I CAME HERE VERY SET ON A CERTAIN MAP AND ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT I WAS OFFENDED, JUSTIN, YOU MADE SOME POINTS THAT THAT CERTAINLY GIVES ME PAUSE AS AS YOU DID AS WELL. DOCTOR FILTER SO SORRY THAT I AM THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO CAUSE US A DELAY AND HAVE TO REVISIT THIS AGAIN. I WILL SAY FOR THE PERSON THAT THREATENED A LAWSUIT. UM DON'T EVER DO THAT. THAT'S A BEGINNING. WE'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING. DO IT DON'T THREATEN BECAUSE I KNOW I THINK THAT THAT'S NOT A DIALOGUE. IT'S NOT A DIALOGUE. BUT I THINK FOR EVERYONE UP HERE WE DON'T RESPOND TO THAT KIND OF THING.

UM IT'S. IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE QUITE RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE ABILITY TO FILE SUCH A LAWSUIT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION OF SOME KIND, WHICH, OF COURSE THERE IS NOT. AND I BET YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT AWARE THAT THE AMOUNT OF, UM, DIFFERENTIAL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT , FOR EXAMPLE IN THE HISPANIC VOTE IS LESS THAN A HALF PERCENT. THAT'S HARDLY A DILUTION. THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BRING IN A FEDERAL LAWSUIT. SO WE WILL MOVE ON, AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. YES SO I MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THE ITEM. OH, I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. I OPPOSED NAY. OKAY? TO OUR NEXT MEETING, AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST IF WE COULD A YET ONE MORE WORK SESSION IF WE COULD, WHERE WE COULD ALL GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION IN A MAP THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE TO, AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE, OF COURSE, GUNNER, HOPEFULLY BEING AVAILABLE AGAIN AND GUNNER. IF YOU'RE ON THE PHONE, I THINK YOU ARE APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE SAID THROUGH THIS DISCUSSION.

IT'S A WONKY PIECE OF LAND BAN. IT REALLY IS. YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF HOPED THAT MAYBE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT WITH THE WATER TOWER. BUT I DON'T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO GO THERE? SMALL OFFICE OR RETAIL? OKAY, VERY, VERY LIMITED BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH SPACE DEPARTMENT .

YOU'VE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE OF OTHER SITES IN AND AROUND THIS TRACT COMING IN AND REQUESTING THIS C TWO ZONING AS WELL. THE CURRENT PD ON THIS TRACT IS QUITE LIMITING. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC TO ONLY ALLOW RETAIL USES, AND THIS PDS WAS PUT IN PLACE AS THIS AREA WAS DEVELOPING AS IT HAS NOW FULLY DEVELOPED, AND WE ARE SEEING CHANGES IN TENANTS AND USES THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE TO A STRAIGHT ZONING DISTRICT THAT ALLOWS FOR A LITTLE WIDER CAST OF POTENTIAL TENANTS. SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS REQUEST THEY ARE LOOKING TO REZONE TO SEE TO ALLOW FOR A CLINIC, A DIALYSIS CLINIC ON THE TRACT THAT IS CURRENTLY NOT ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING SO TRACKED OBVIOUSLY IS ALONG US 75 COMMERCIAL ZONING.

JENNIFER THIS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THOSE TWO HOTEL PROPERTIES. IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY? SO THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, THAT'S A VERY LOW IMPACT AREA. I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT BELTS THERE. YOU'VE GOT THAT RESTAURANT THAT CHANGES A BUNCH AND UM AH. UM, DIALYSIS CLINICS GET SOME TRAFFIC. DURING BUSINESS HOURS, BUT IT'S A PRETTY LOW IMPACT USE. I THINK I WOULD AGREE. OTHER QUESTIONS.

[01:30:04]

REQUESTING TO REZONE FROM P D TO SEE TO OUR COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT. CURRENT ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE STONEBRIDGE MASTER ZONING ORDINANCE. UM, AND IT DOES REQUIRE FOR SOME LEVEL OF CONCEPT PLANNING IF THE TRACT ISN'T ABLE TO BE DEVELOPED IN ONE SINGLE SITE PLAN. AND THAT CAN BE KIND OF LIMITING. UM AND TODAY'S MARKET AND A STRAIGHT ZONING OF C TWO WOULD REMOVE THAT REQUIREMENT FOR THE CONCEPT PLAN. SO THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED THAT REZONE TO SORT OF OPEN UP DEVELOPMENT HERE. STAFF'S REVIEW THE REQUEST, AND WE DEFINITELY NOTE THAT THE SITE IS LOCATED AT THE HARD CORNER OF COMMERCIAL INTERSECTION, AND THEREFORE COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT IS PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE. WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE SEA TO ZONING REQUEST, AS IS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. BUT I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF THIS SINGLE TRACT IS ABOUT 18 ACRES IN SIZE, AND YOU'LL SEE HERE IMAGE THAT THEY ARE ONLY REQUESTING TO REZONE THAT FRONTAGE PORTION. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT REZONING THE FRONTAGE IN THIS MANNER WILL LIKELY MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO DEVELOP FOR PAD SITES. AND SO THAT INTERNAL TRACKED HERE THAT REMAINDER HERE AND MAYBE MORE LIMITED ON COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE, SO AS STAFF SEES IT, IT'S NOT A REASON TO NOT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE C TWO. IT'S PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE, BUT IT IS JUST SOMETHING TO NOTE. AS YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS ITEM. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND I BELIEVE MR ROEDER IS SITTING RIGHT BEHIND ME. QUESTIONS FOR JENNIFER. THE APPLICANT PLEASE COME UP. ZACH ROGERS WITH GPT REALTY CORPORATION. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERATION IN THIS CASE AND HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS. RIGHT I GUESS.
