SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, STEVE. CHRIS THORNTON. BETH BENTLEY. GOOD EVENING, MR MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL , MR CITY MANAGER. TO BE CERTAIN THIS COMMUNITY DISTRICT ONE IN PARTICULAR, AS WE KNOW IT TODAY WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT IN A MYRIAD OF WAYS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS AS A DISCUSSION OF REDISTRICTING HAS PROGRESSED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I AM REMINDED OF FORMER MAYOR OF MCKINNEY, MR JOHN GAY AND HIS LEADERSHIP TOWARDS ENSURING A SYSTEM OF SOMETHING AS BASIC YET IS VERY NECESSARY. PART OF OUR DAILY LIVES CLEAN AND SANITARY WATER IN LIKE MANNER, THE PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION OF THE BASIC RIGHT TO VOTE TO HAVE FAIR. OBJECTIVE REPRESENTATION IS A RIGHT THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THROUGH BLOOD TEARS AND, SADLY DEATH, PARTICULARLY FOR PERSONS OF COLOR, AND LIKE ESTABLISHING SYSTEMS TO ENSURE CLEAN SANITARY WATER TO PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT TO FAIR REPRESENTATION IS ONE THAT THE CITIZENRY RELIES HEAVILY ON THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY TO ENSURE AS YOU LEAVE TODAY, YOU ARE ESTABLISHING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROTOCOL FOR FUTURE GOVERNING BODIES, SETTING EXAMPLES FOR LEADERS TO LEAD WELL WITH COMPASSION AND WITH INTEGRITY, AND THIS COUNCIL HAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SET MODELS OF LEADERSHIP TO ESTABLISH CLEARLY DEFINED REDISTRICTING PROCESSES THAT PROVIDE CLEAR OBJECTIVE MEASURES THAT EACH COUNCIL PERSON SHOULD USE TO DETERMINE THE PROPOSED REDISTRICTING UPDATES AND SOLID OUTCOMES.THANK YOU FOR LEADING.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO GO ONE WAY AND AT THE LAST MINUTE IT DID NOT GO THAT WAY. BUT I AM HERE JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THREE OF MY CONCERNS, AND THE FIRST IS THAT I HATE TO SEE DISTRICT ONE. GO ALL THE WAY TO 75. YOU KNOW, THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN MY MIND IS CHALLENGING BECAUSE WE ARE DIFFERENT. WE DON'T HAVE A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. AND I FEEL LIKE THAT WE DEAL WITH DIFFERENT ISSUES VERSUS WEST OF TOWN, AND WE ARE IN MY MIND. WE'RE THE WE'RE A BIG PART OF THE UNIQUE AND UNIQUE BY NATURE JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT ISSUES, AND I THINK THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF CHANGES AND EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE. AND I THINK ASKING, TAKING DISTRICT ONE ALL THE WAY TO 75. THAT PERSON IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT TO REPRESENT A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMMUNITIES, AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE CAN REALLY KEEP ALL THE COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT THAT'S ASKING THAT ONE PERSON TO DO A LOT. AND ALSO THAT'S GONNA INCLUDE ONE OF THE I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE NEW MAPS, BUT THAT WILL INCLUDE ONE OF THE HIGH GROWTH DISTRICTS. OH I'M SORRY. ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUCH APPRECIATE YOU, JULIE LUTON.
HELLO, COUNCIL. JULIE LUTON. I'M A 21 YEAR RESIDENT MCKINNEY 15 16 TIMBER EDGE DRIVE. I JUST WANTED TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT REDISTRICTING VERY, VERY BRIEFLY. UM AS I'VE MADE CLEAR IN THE PAST, I SUPPORT MAPPED T . I'M SURE THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE THE MAP THAT WILL BE
[00:15:04]
DECIDED UPON. BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO REITERATE MY SUPPORT FOR THAT. REALLY I JUST LIKE TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBERS FELT AS CLAUDIA AND BELLER FOR YOUR FULL THROATED DEFENSE PROTECTING MINORITY VOTING RIGHTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S BEEN A LONG AND DIFFICULT ROAD. AND YOU ARE APPRECIATED. I'D LIKE TO GIVE AN ADDITIONAL NOD COUNCIL MEMBER BELLER FOR YOUR TIME AND EXPERTISE AND EDUCATING MCKINNEY. ON OUR CHOICES ON REDISTRICTING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE CHOICE. DISTRICT ONE IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR ADVOCACY ADDITIONAL. THANKS TO THE DOCTOR. FELTUS YOUR UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THIS ON THIS ISSUE IS INVALUABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND TO YOUR DISTRICT AND YOUR PERSISTENCE AND PROTECTING YOUR DISTRICTS NEEDS WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU VOTE ON MANY THINGS AS A COUNCIL VOTE IN PARTICULAR WILL BE ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS, PLEASE VOTE RIGHTS WISELY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NICOLE TATE. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT THEN, UM, NICOLE'S NOT NOT HERE AND I'M GOING TO SPEAK.ALRIGHT. WE'VE GOT PUBLIC COMMENTS. NON AGENDA ITEMS. AND THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME. SAME TIME LIMIT. DID WANT TO SAY FEW THINGS BEFORE THESE COMMENTS. HAPPEN. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS HERE THAT ARE HERE AT THE REQUEST TO REQUEST OF MR CARL SIMS. UM. AND I WANT TO PUT INTO CONTEXT SOMEWHAT. I ANTICIPATE WE WILL HEAR. POSTED THAT WE NEED TO FLOOD THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE TYRANNY OF GEORGE FULLER. IS A NARCISSIST AND TYRANT WHO THINK CITIZENS DON'T MATTER, NOR DOES THEIR OPINION. IT'S TIME TO TAKE OUR BOARDING COUNCIL BACK BEFORE WE LOSE THIS CITY TO LEFT LEANING IDEOLOGUES. THIS COMES ON THE HEELS OF MY COMMENTS AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING THE OTHER NIGHT. READ THOSE VERBATIM WHEN I OWN THOSE WORDS, AND I STAND BY THOSE WORDS. BUT I FIRST WANT TO SHARE WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AT OUR SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS. IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE AS OUR SCHOOLS, TEACHERS AND SOME OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE COME UNDER GROSS ATTACK BY SOME OF THIS YEAR. PUBLIC COMMENTS BY THIS GROUP AND OTHERS HAVE INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING AND I'M GOING TO CITE JUST VERY, VERY FEW AND YOU AND I WON'T PUT INTO IT. THE EMOTION, THE YELLING THE. LOUD OBNOXIOUS WAY IN WHICH MANY OF THEM WERE WERE GIVEN. JUST READ THEM. IT'S TIME YOU WAKE UP. TEACHERS ARE TEACHING KIDS TO BE GAY AND TRANS YOU. THE SCHOOL BOARD, TRUSTEES AND TEACHERS WILL BURN IN HELL. YOU SHOULD ALL BE ARRESTED AND PUT IN JAIL. SICK VALUES AND WOKENESS INDOCTRINATION FROM RADICAL LIBERAL TEACHERS IS GOING ON IN OUR DISTRICT. TEACHERS ARE GROOMING OUR CHILDREN TO BE PEDOPHILES, TEACHERS THAT ARE PEDOPHILES. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT GOAL IS TO TEACH KINDERGARTNERS POSITIONS OF HETEROSEXUAL AND HOMOSEXUAL POSITIONS IN ORDER TO PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF PEDOPHILES. FOR THIS BOARD TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT THERE IS ABUSE AND THE DOCTOR AERATION INDOCTRINATION GOING ON IS AN UNCONSCIONABLE SCHOOL BOARD, TRUSTEES AND TEACHERS ARE DELIBERATELY CONFUSING, IMPRESSIONABLE KIDS INTO SEXUAL BEHAVIOR. AND SPEAKING TO THE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. FIRST MCKINNEY IN ATTENDANCE. IT WAS SAID YOU'RE DISGUSTING. ALL OF YOUR DISGUSTING GOD HELP YOU. THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ARE BULLIES AND YOU ARE ALL SCUM.
THESE ARE BUT A FEW OF THE SPEWED ALLEGATIONS AND COMMENTARY AGAINST OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF AND SOME STUDENTS. BUT MAYBE THE WORST BEHAVIOR THAT I'VE WITNESSED WAS THE RIDICULE AND DURING OF AN AUTISTIC STUDENT THAT GOT UP TO SPEAK AS AN ADVOCATE FOR THE TEACHERS HE SO VALUED. THEY CALLED HIM A PEDOPHILE PARENTS SET UP TO DEFEND HIM. THEY TOLD HER HER TO GO THE F HOME. THEY DIDN'T SAY F, THOUGH. ANOTHER MEETING, YOUNG GIRL NAMED SAVANNAH WAS VERBALLY ATTACKED TO THE POINT OF DISRUPTOR WAS REMOVED AND CRIMINALLY CITED WITH CRIMINAL TRESPASSING. THAT'S HAPPENED QUITE A BIT. PEOPLE HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE.
THIS BEHAVIOR IS ABSOLUTELY APPALLING TO ME. I STRONGLY VOICED IT. LAST TUESDAY NIGHT.
AND THAT HAS OFFENDED THIS GROUP. I MEANT EVERY WORD. EVERY WORD OF IT AND MY RIGHT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION, THEIR BEHAVIOR IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THEIR RIGHT TO SPEW THE BASELESS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST OUR SCHOOL STAFF AND TEACHERS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I MAY NOT LIKE IT.
CLAIMING CARLOS POST IS ALSO THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT CITIZENS OR THEIR OPINIONS. BUT THEY MAKE NO MISTAKE. IT IS NOT DISAGREEMENT OR DIFFERING OPINIONS THAT FUELED MY REMARKS IS WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR AGAINST OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AND MY DEEP CONCERN AND CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY, OUR SCHOOLS OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE THAT ENGAGES MY RESPONSE. MARKING AN ARTISTIC STUDENT AND INTIMIDATING OTHER STUDENTS THAT CHOOSE TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR TEACHERS. ENCOURAGING FELLOW DISRUPTORS TO DISOBEY OUR POLICE WHEN THEY'RE ASKED TO LEAVE FOR THE DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR. CALLING OUR TEACHERS PEDOPHILES ARE ACCUSING THEM OF
[00:20:02]
GROOMING OUR CHILDREN BE PEDOPHILES. THESE THINGS. THEY'RE NOT DIFFERING OPINIONS THEIR DEPLORABLE ACTIONS. THAT BEHAVIOR IS WHAT I HAVE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST. MY GUESS IS THAT IF I HAD BEEN STANDING ON THEIR SIDE OF THE ROOM, CALLING OUT TEACHERS AND STAFF WITH THE SAME BASIS ALLEGATIONS PRAISING CHAD GREEN WHILE CRITICIZING THE OTHER TRUSTEES SCREAMING OBSCENITIES AT THE BLUE SHIRTS AS THEY CALL THE MCKINNEY FIRST PACK. AS ARE MARKING THE STUDENTS THAT SPOKE FAVORABLY OF THEIR TEACHERS. I PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN APPLAUDED BY THAT GROUP. WE WOULDN'T BE THEY WOULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. WE'RE HERE BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY CALLED HIM OUT. THEY DON'T LIKE IT. AND I UNDERSTAND IT. BUT AGAIN, I STAND BY MY WORDS. AND SO THAT NONE OF THE WORDS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. AND SO THAT I CAN OWN.THOSE WORDS READ YOU VERBATIM MY COMMENTS THE OTHER NIGHT. FOR 30 YEARS MY WIFE MADE ME AND I HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTIVELY ENGAGED IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE PAST FIVE YEARS AS MAYOR, I'VE BEEN TO NEARLY 100, SCHOOL TEACHER AND STUDENT EVENTS. NOT SURPRISINGLY, I HAVEN'T SEEN KYLE SIMS, STEPHEN CALLOUS. JIM WESTERN HIDE. PAUL ELLIOTT MICHAEL'S MY FRIEND, DAN PORES OR ANY OF THE OTHER MISGUIDED DISINFORMATION SCHOOL BOARD DISRUPTORS THAT A SINGLE EVENT YET SOMEHOW THIS IGNORANT BRAIN TRUST REPRESENTS THEMSELVES AS AN AUTHORITY ON OUR SCHOOLS, TEACHERS AND STAFF. THEY'RE ANYTHING BUT AN AUTHORITY BUT RATHER AN ORGANIZED DISTRACTION . WAGING A FABRICATED CULTURAL WAR AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR CHILDREN, THEY DECEPTIVELY PRETEND TO PROTECT THERE ARE THOSE THAT ONLY FIND THEIR IDENTITY IN THE CURRENT TRIBAL AND PARTISAN FEARMONGERING BATTLEFIELD. THEY GENERALLY EXHIBIT THE ABSOLUTE WORST IN HUMAN NATURE, OFTEN BECAUSE THEY LACK THE INTELLECT, THE COURAGE AND THE CHARACTER TO BE INDEPENDENT THINKERS TAKE COVERING THE PACK THE MOST EASILY ACCEPTS THEM. THEY WRAP THEMSELVES UP IN THE SOUND BITES AND BUMPER STICKER. DOG WHISTLES , RARELY UNDERSTANDING THE CONTENT OR CONSEQUENCE OF WHAT THEY SPEW. HISTORY WILL REMEMBER THEM SIMPLY AS COWARDS OR TEACHERS, STAFF AND WELL, OUR CHILDREN DESERVE FAR BETTER THAN SUCH ASININE BEHAVIOR. IF YOU WANT TO BE RELEVANT, GROW UP, EDUCATE YOURSELF OUTSIDE DIRECT CODE YOUR TRIBAL ECHO CHAMBER AND SIMPLY BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING. IF YOU'D RATHER CONTINUE ACTING LIKE CLOWNS JOINED THE CIRCUS, BUT IN ANY EVENT, GET OUT OF THE WAY AND LET SERIOUS PEOPLE DO THE SERIOUS BUSINESS OF TEACHING OUR CHILDREN. TO OUR TEACHERS, STAFF AND RESPONSIBLE TRUSTEES STAY STEADFAST AND ALL YOU'RE DOING FOR OUR CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE HEROES THAT STOOD AGAINST THE INSANITY AND STUPIDITY. FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN. I STAND WITH YOU, AS DOES MOST IN OUR COMMUNITY. THOSE ARE HARSH AND AGGRESSIVE WORDS I GET IT. BUT THE WHAT I WAS SPEAKING TO WAS THE BEHAVIOR THE HARSH AND AGGRESSIVE UM, TALK ABOUT UNCONSCIONABLE, UNCONSCIONABLE BEHAVIOR THAT'S BEEN WAGED AGAINST HER TEACHERS, STAFF AND STUDENTS. SO THAT. ANY COMMENTS YOU HEAR ARE IN CONTEXT. I WANTED TO OWN MY WORDS. AND JUST AGAIN, GIVE THE CONTEXT FOR THEM. SPEAKING FIRST, PLEASE, MR MARK RIGS. A LOT OF WHAT YOU SAID I WAS WITNESSED. I WITNESSED YOU INTERROGATED SO MANY OF THE ROOTS IN THIS. Q AND ON WHETHER THEY EXPELLED IT OR NOT, IT'S COMING OUT OF IT. IT HAS HISTORICALLY. ELECTION WORKERS MACRO VIEW BY THE WAY.

HI I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MAYOR FULLER FOR HIS CONSISTENT PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR MCKINNEY. I S D ESPECIALLY THIS PAST YEARS. WE HAVE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE FROM AREA EXTREMIST GROUPS. TRYING TO FORCE THEIR POLITICAL AGENDA ON OUR DISTRICT GOVERNANCE. MANY OF THESE RADICALIZED MILITANTS DO NOT EVEN HAVE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN MCKINNEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THOSE OF US WHO ARE INVOLVED IN OUR CHILDREN'S SCHOOLS KNOW THAT THERE IS NO CRT BEING TAUGHT IN OUR CLASSROOMS. THERE'S NO AIM TO EXPOSE OUR STUDENTS TO PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL. THERE'S NO AGENDA OF MARXIST SOCIALIST LEFTIST INDOCTRINATION. OR ANY OTHER OF THE OUTLANDISH ALLEGATIONS. AS A PARENT OF THREE SD STUDENTS. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE RETENTION OF OUR OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS WORKING UNDER THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. AS A VOTING CITIZEN OF MCKINNEY FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS AND CONCERNED FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY. IF THE ONSLAUGHT FROM THESE RADICAL EXTREMIST GROUPS CONTINUES. AS I'M SURE YOU ARE AWARE THE SUCCESS OF OUR CITY IS TIED TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I KNOW THAT, AS MANY CITIZENS SAID EARLIER, A LOT OF WORK HAS BEEN DONE AND MUCH APPRECIATED, AND WE'RE HERE FOR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS ANY OTHER MAPS. THERE ARE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ON THE WALL. THE NEWEST MAP IS MAP H. AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP. GET THIS. PAST THE GOAL LINE. I'LL JUST MAKE A COMMENT THAT THAT MAP PAGES WAS INTENT TO REALLY TRY TO ACCOMMODATE ALL DAY DIFFERING CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN VOICED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. WE'VE HEARD QUITE A FEW COMMENTS. UM AND I WOULD I WOULD OUR TO HAVE TO IDENTIFY THIS MAP IN IN TERMS OF OTHER MAPS AND RELATABILITY EACH OTHER MAPS. I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS A VERY, VERY STRONG COMPROMISE BETWEEN MAPS A AND D JUST JUST TAKING TAKING INTO ACCOUNT AGAIN ALL THE CRITERIA AND CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED BY COUNCIL AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. AND I THINK WE HAVE A MAP THAT ACHIEVES ACHIEVES THAT. IN MAP PAGE. AND I KNOW THAT ALL COUNCIL HAS SEEN THAT NOW WE PUT IT OUT, OF COURSE TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL. UM FIVE DAYS AGO, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE SAYING IF THERE NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSION, OR IF I DARE ASK FOR EMOTION. WELL, I HAVE THE MOTION BUTTON. LET ME MAKE A COMMENT REAL QUICK. UM NO. TRY TO BE QUICK. UM. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT MAPS . UM AND THEN I THINK AT THE LAST MEETING BEFORE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, WE NEEDED TO BRING THIS BACK TO EITHER WORK SESSION OR SOME SOME OTHER FORMS SO THAT WE CAN COME TO A COMPROMISE. AND MAYOR FULLER AND PROTEIN ROGERS AND I UM, MET WITH GUNNER ON LAST WEEK AND DREW THIS MAP, AND , UH, BUT WE'RE SOMEWHAT RESTRICTED ON WHAT WE CAN DO AND HOW WE CAN MAKE DECISIONS BECAUSE OF OPEN MEETINGS ACT, SO THE THREE OF US CAN TALK ABOUT[00:55:06]
IT, BUT ULTIMATELY WE CAN'T GET OUT FOURTH OPINION ON IT. AND SO I SAID. THAT IT HITS THE ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME. BUT I WANTED TO HEAR WHAT DR FELTUS SAID. AND SO THIS IS REALLY THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY THAT I'VE HAD TO GET HER OPINION. ON THAT, AND SO LET'S JUST I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT IT. AND IF SHE'S OKAY WITH IT, THEN I THINK IT WAS A GOOD COMPROMISE. SO OUR FIRST SAY THAT I DO APPRECIATE YOU ALL GETTING TOGETHER BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF MEETINGS THAT HAVE BEEN VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, I WOULD SAY, AND I IT'S SOLELY BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE THAT EACH OF US ARE TRYING TO DEFEND WHAT WE FEEL IS BEST FOR THE CITY. UM SOME OF THE FRUSTRATION FOR ME HAS BEEN HAD BEEN THAT THE GOALS FOR DISTRICT THREE WERE NOT BEING MET WITH ANY OF THE OTHER MAPS. AND SO THAT'S WHY I WAS FIGHTING SO HARD FOR D I DO THINK THAT THIS IS A PRETTY DECENT. I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET EVERYTHING WE WANT OUT OF THE OUT OF THE MAPS, BUT, UM I FEEL THAT EVERYONE HAS SACRIFICED TO SOME DEGREE AND, UM, COMPROMISE HAS BEEN REACHED , SO I FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD. I AM PLEASED TO SEE THAT DISTRICT THREE DOES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW. I AM PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT THAN MAP A TO PRESERVE. THE MINORITY VOTING POWER IN DISTRICT ONE.THOSE ARE VERY BIG THINGS FOR ME, UM SO I'M HAPPY TO MOVE FORWARD. I ASKED FOR EMOTION.

[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]
CITIZEN COMMENTS. WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS. WE'LL START WITH YOU.UM I KNOW YOU GOT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. I WILL, BUT. MALCOLM FRASER IS A SENIOR UP IT. MCKINNEY HAS SCHOOL. HE SUFFERED A BELIEVE IT'S A BROKEN LEG THE OTHER NIGHT AND GOT CARTED OFF THE FIELD, AND IT'S A HORRIBLE WAY TO HAVE YOUR SENIOR SEASON TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU. HE WAS HAVING ONE GREAT GAME TOO. I HAVE TO TELL YOU, BUT WE WANT TO SEND OUR BEST WISHES TO HIM. THE SAD NEWS IS THAT MCKINNEY NOW HAS A NEW STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE BRAGGING ABOUT AND THAT CAME FROM LAST YEAR'S BASKETBALL SEASON. HOWEVER THE RIGHT TO CELEBRATE WAS STOLEN FROM THEM AND IT WAS STOLEN FROM THEM NOT BY OTHER ATHLETES BUT BY THE ADMINISTRATION OF ANOTHER CITY THAT ALLOWED AND ATHLETE WHO WAS NOT ELIGIBLE TO PLAY TO CONTINUE , EVEN THOUGH HE HAD BEEN RULED OUT BY HIS DISTRICT. AND THEN A . THEY APPEALED IT. AND AUSTIN TRAVIS COUNTY JUDGE, UM ABATED THE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND LOUD THAT YOUNG MAN TO PLAY.
YOUNG MAN WAS A GREAT ATHLETE. HE WAS A FASCINATING BASKETBALL PLAYER TO WATCH, AND HE'S ONE OF THOSE YOUNG MEN WHO MAY GO THE NBA A LOT QUICKER THAN OTHERS. AND HE WAS A TREMENDOUS BASKETBALL PLAYER. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME, BUT I THINK IT'S VERY SAD THAT WE HAD THAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP AND OTHER COMMUNITIES . AND I WANT TO REASSURE YOU HERE IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP, VERY PROUD OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THE PRIDE THAT THEY GIVE TO ME AND OUR YOUNG ATHLETES AND OUR GUYS GOT THERE THE RIGHT WAY. DOING THE RIGHT THINGS AND PUTTING IN A LOT OF HARD WORK, AND THEY EARNED THE RIGHT TO HAVE A CELEBRATION. BUT WE'RE NOT CELEBRATING SIMPLY BECAUSE IT CAME ABOUT THE WAY THAT IT DID, AND IT WAS STOLEN BY SOME LEADERS OUT THERE. AND UM I'M THANKFUL TO SAY THAT NONE OF OUR CHILDREN ARE LEARNING THAT LESSON FROM THEIR LEADERSHIP HERE IN MCKINNEY AND I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO EACH AND ALL OF YOU AND ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU TO CALL YOUR LOCAL MAYOR BECAUSE HE'S HAVING A BIG BIRTHDAY COMING UP. 40 YES, 30 40. YEAH WHY DON'T WISHES VERY BEST ON
[01:00:03]
YOUR UPCOMING BIRTHDAY, AND WE'LL GET YOU A CANE, OKAY? THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THANK YOU.UM SO A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO MENTION TODAY I WANTED TO SPEAK TO A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE TONIGHT. I WANT TO STAND WITH OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS. THEY HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB EDUCATING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT A LOT OF EGREGIOUS THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IN THIS DISTRICT. BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ONE CHILD. AND WHEN I'VE ASKED PARENTS HAS YOUR CHILD EVER BEEN TOLD THIS BY A TEACHER OR ADMINISTRATOR? I HAVE NOT HEARD ONE. PARENTS SAY THAT WHETHER IT BE SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH EXPLICIT SEXUAL MATERIAL, OR CRT OR ANYTHING ELSE, SO I THINK THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN WHO ARE MCKINNEY I S D STUDENTS AND HAVE ENJOYED THEIR TIME HERE. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE THAT CAME OUT ON A VERY, VERY SAD NOTE. WE LOST A TEACHER JUST YESTERDAY. UM AT VALLEY CREEK ELEMENTARY. AND IT'S AMANDA KELLY IS HER NAME. SHE WAS THE ART TEACHER FOR BOTH OF MY CHILDREN FROM K 251 OF THE MOST PHENOMENAL PURE HEARTED, SWEETEST PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD EVER MEET, AND UNFORTUNATELY SHE LOST HER LIFE TO THE FLU, AND IT IS DEVASTATING TO LOSE SOMEONE IN THEIR THIRTIES, OTHERWISE HEALTHY. TO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A VERY SIMPLE INFECTION TO GET OVER MY HEART BREAKS FOR HER FAMILY FOR THE STAFF THERE AT VALLEY CREEK FOR ALL OF HER FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES. WE JUST WANT TO EXTEND OUR CONDOLENCES AND LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE PRAYING WITH YOU ALL AND WE'RE HERE FOR SUPPORT OF YOU ALL AS WELL. I JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT ON OUR OUR MAYORS INVOLVEMENT WITH THIS SCHOOL BOARD, YOU KNOW, AND JUST GOING DOWN THERE AND I THINK HE GOES DOWN THERE AS A CITIZEN. I KNOW HE'S THE MAYOR. BUT HE GOES DOWN THERE AS A CITIZEN AND EXPRESSES HIS HIS OPINION. UM THE FACT THAT MOST OF US AGREE 100% WITH WHAT HE DID, UM UH ESPOUSES IS, UM. IS NOT AS RELEVANT AS THE THINGS THAT HE ACTUALLY SAYS. AND SO I WANT TO, UM. SUBMIT MY SUPPORT, AND I'M GRATEFUL TO HAVE A MAYOR THAT DOES NOT JUST SIT BACK AND LET ANOTHER GROUP OR ANOTHER BOARD JUST SIT AND WALLOW AND IN MISERY BECAUSE NOBODY'S REALLY KIND OF HELPING STAND UP FOR HIM AND THE MAYOR IS SO WE HAVE A MAYOR THAT YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMEBODY THAT'S A FIGHTER LIKE HIM. HE IF YOU EVER WANT TO ARGUE WITH HIM, YOU JUST BETTER BE PREPARED YOU YOU'VE GOTTA BE PREPARED TO ARGUE WITH THIS MAYOR BECAUSE HE WILL ALWAYS BE PREPARED AND, UH AND SO IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO SEE HIM JUST HELP WHERE HE CAN NOT JUST IN THIS NOT JUST IN THE CITY, BUT JUST WHERE HE CAN. SO THANK YOU, MARY. THANK YOU. LISTEN. YEAH I MENTIONED A COUPLE OF THINGS ONE JUST TO TACKLE WHAT DOCTOR FELT HAS SAID, AND MAYOR PROTEIN. ROGERS AM THE SON OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER. I AM THE GRANDSON OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER, THE HUSBAND OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER.

I COME UP MY HEARTBREAK OVER, UH MISS KELLY AND PRAY FOR HER FAMILY. UM A COUPLE OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO MENTION THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. I GOT TO ATTEND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINICS FUNDRAISER UM AND THEREFORE, I THINK YOU PARTICIPATED IN IN THEIR FUNDRAISING BUT JUST WANTED TO MENTION HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY UM, SERVE OTHERS IN WAYS LIKE THAT THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE. AND THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES IN MCKINNEY THAT DO IT. BUT SO MANY GIVE SO MUCH TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS HEALTHY. WE WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY, WHICH IS RUN BY CHRISTINE AND VOLUNTEER MCKINNEY , AND IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. I THINK IT WAS THE THEY REALLY FELT LIKE THEY COULD GET OUT AND DO PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF UM, YOU KNOW, COVID RESTRICTION THIS YEAR, AND PATRICK AND I WERE AT THE OLD HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL SITE CLEANING UP AND WE FELT PRODUCTIVE. AT LEAST THEY MADE US FEEL PRODUCTIVE. BUT THE GREAT EVENT BY THEM. I ALSO GOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, AND HE MENTIONED IT EARLIER THEIR TRAIL AND TREAT THING, AND THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WAS BORN AWAY WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN THAT, SO IT'S AN EVENT. THAT REPLACED THE OLD SCARE ON THE SQUARE DOWNTOWN BECAUSE THERE WERE TOO MANY PEOPLE DOWNTOWN, SO THEY MOVED IT TO THE TOWN LIKE AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE. AND SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOUR YOUR
[01:05:01]

UM ONE LAST THING IS, WE GUESS TWO LAST THINGS WE HAD A FIRE IN EAST MCKINNEY. UM ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AND IT DESTROYED THE CHURCH. IN A HOME AND A BUSINESS. AND UM, THERE ARE STILL LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO RALLY AROUND THOSE PEOPLE AND THERE WILL BE MORE BUT JUST SEEING THE OUTFLOW OF SUPPORT, ESPECIALLY THE PASTOR SEALS. AT THE NEW OUTREACH CHURCH THAT HE HAS RECEIVED IN WHAT, WHAT HE'LL BE ABLE TO DO. TO REBUILD THE CHURCH AND TO MAINTAIN HIS CHURCH COMMUNITY. IS A TRIBUTE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND HIS CHURCH .

AND SO I HAVE MY RADAR UP ALL THE TIME TO GO TO THINGS IN I WENT TO SOMETHING LAST FRIDAY. THERE WAS A FUNERAL FOR A TWO YEAR OLD BOY. HE WAS THE SON. MCKINNEY, SWAT POLICE OFFICER.

YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP, BUT IT'S KIND OF AN INHERITED NEUROLOGICAL, VERY RARE, VERY CRUEL FATE.

I WOULD FORGET IT, ORCHID ORCHID. IT'LL COME TO ME. CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH ON ORCHID STATE OF THE CITY THURSDAY AROUND 11:30 A.M. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS. NUMBER ONE MAJKOWSKI WAS HERE TONIGHT. HE DID, AS ALWAYS AN INCREDIBLE JOB PRESENTING THE VISION FOR TOWN LAKE PARK IN THIS CASE. AND WHAT'S HAPPENING . ALL THE GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING, PARKS AND REC. AND, UM, YOU KNOW I DON'T GET TO SAY IT OFTEN ENOUGH. I PROBABLY LIKE TO SAY IT AS OFTEN AS I CAN. AND CERTAINLY THIS THURSDAY AT STATE OF THE CITY. IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF, ROY SORT OF PRESSED ON TIME. BUT I'D LIKE TO JUST CALL OUTERS OUR CITY STAFF FOR PROFESSIONAL STAFF. MAJKOWSKI EXEMPLIFIES. WHAT ARE FOLKS DO EVERY DAY? WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU DO A PRESENTATION WHEN YOU SEE THEM COMING PRESENT, WHEN JENNIFER ARNOLD COMES UP TO THE OTHERS, IT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK THAT GOES ON BEHIND IT. BUT IT'S THE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM THAT THEY BRING THAT I LIKE TO POINT THAT I GIVE MY PUBLIC PAT ON THE BACK WHENEVER I CAN. THE COMMUNITY IS REALLY INCREDIBLY SERVED BY THE TALENTED STAFF THAT YOU HAVE.
AND WHEN I SAY TALENT, IT'S NOT JUST A PROFESSIONALISM, BUT IT'S VERY IMAGINATIVE, IMAGINATIVE THINKING THAT THEY BRING EVERY DAY THEIR INNOVATIVE, CREATIVE IN THEIR HONEST, THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT I LOOK FOR. AND UM, MAN, WE GOT REALLY GOOD PEOPLE, SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE A PUBLIC PAT ON THE BACK WHEN I CAN, UM, THEY DO JUST A GREAT JOB. AND THEN FINALLY, THANK YOU TO THE CITY COUNCIL. FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO OUR EMPLOYEES THIS LAST WEEK. YESTERDAY WAS THE THANKSGIVING EVENT AND CHILI COOK OFF GIVES OUR EMPLOYEES A CHANCE TO KIND OF BUILD SOME RELATIONSHIP AND BOND A LITTLE BIT. BUT HAVING THE COUNCIL THERE TO SUPPORT THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL OF YOU. WE KNOW EVERYBODY'S BUSY AND YOU GOT THINGS TO DO. BUT WHEN ONE OR TWO OF YOU COME TO THESE THINGS, IT REALLY IS VERY MEANINGFUL TO OUR EMPLOYEES. BECAUSE IT SHOWS THEM THAT YOU CARE. YOU ACTUALLY TAKE AN INTEREST AND THAT YOU KNOW, WORK IS WORK AND WE GET AFTER IT. BUT WE ALSO ARE PEOPLE WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS AND WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE. MR MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT IF I MAY I GOT A CALL FROM A GENTLEMAN THIS WEEK. HE'S A VERY , VERY SUCCESSFUL WAS VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL YOUNG AND HE HAD LIVED IN 23 DIFFERENT CITIES. AND HE HAD SOME SEWAGE PROBLEMS , AND HE CALLED IT IN. FOLKS WERE OUT THERE WITHIN AN HOUR, HAD IT FIXED AND WENT BACK TO HIM. AND SAID, LISTEN, NEXT TIME

YOU HAVE THIS ISSUE YOU CALL US FIRST BECAUSE WE MIGHT SAVE YOU THAT BIG PLUMBING BILL THAT YOU HAD. AND WE'LL TELL YOU IF YOU NEED TO HIRE A PLUMBER, AND HE SAID HE HAD LIVED IN 23 DIFFERENT CITIES. HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT KIND OF SERVICE, BUT HE ALSO WENT ON TO COMPLEMENT PUBLIC WORKS ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT TO LOOK AT A PIECE OF SIDEWALK THAT HAD BECOME UNLEVEL AND HE TALKED TO THE GUYS HE HAD REPORTED IT AND THEY WERE OUT AND JUST TODAY OR TWO.AND I SAID, NO, WE'RE GONNA REPLACE YOUR ENTIRE SIDEWALK BECAUSE THAT'S SCREWED UP AND THAT SCREWED UP AND THEY HAD IT DONE IN A DAY, AND HE WAS RAVING ABOUT HOW GREAT THE CITY STAFF IT'S NOT WANT TO MAKE SURE I PASSED THAT ON THANKS FOR THE GOOD WORK. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CITY STAFF HAD ANOTHER STORY TO TELL. BUT ONE OF OUR NEWSOME, UH, HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. THIS WEEKEND AND MY WIFE AND I WENT TO VISIT HER, AND THE ONLY THING SHE COULD TALK ABOUT WAS E. M S, UM OFFICERS WHO HAD TAKEN HER THERE AND WHO KNOW HER FROM FROM NEWSOME CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO VISIT HER. AND SHE JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS A CELEBRITY THAT THAT THAT THAT IT WAS THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD THAT THEY CARED ABOUT HER THAT THEY WERE CHECKING IN WITH HER, AND IT MEANT SO MUCH TO HER THAT THEY SHOWED UP TO JUST CHECK IN ON HER, SO JUST, YOU KNOW, SEE THAT A LOT IN OUR CITY STAFF, AND I THINK THAT'S THAT IS A GOOD TIME TO RECOGNIZE THEM. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT I'LL BE BRIEF BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SAID, BUT YEAH. AMANDA KELLY. HORRIBLE TRAGIC SITUATION. WHERE THERE HER 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER MOTHER AND HUSBAND ARE ALL IN COMPLETE SHOCK, AS IS EVERY STUDENT AND EVERY FRIEND AND IS THAT WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN?

UM LOVE LIFE. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. REALLY I MEAN, 30 YEARS MY WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO MY WIFE , WHO HAS CERTAINLY BEEN THE DRIVING FORCE IN 30. YEARS AGO, WE PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE EVENT WITH A BUNCH OF MUSICIANS THAT WE HAD NOTHING ELSE TO OFFER. EXCEPT OUR MUSIC. WHATEVER GIFT THAT WAS, AND WE DID A LITTLE CONCERT TO RAISE MONEY. WE RAISED $3000 OR SOMETHING FOR A WOMAN THAT HAD SOME NEEDS WITH HER FAMILY. AND. NO I NEVER THOUGHT I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D BEEN DOING 30 YEARS. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT, AND THAT WAS GOING TO BE IT. A BIG SNOWSTORM THAT NIGHT AND WE WERE SO PROUD OF WHAT WE DID, AND BUT THEN IT KEPT WITH SAID WAS, LET'S KEEP DOING IT. AND QUITE FRANKLY, I TOLD MY WIFE OF YOU IF I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN, BUT I MEAN, I'LL SUPPORT YOU AND I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU. AND QUITE FRANKLY, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD GO ON FOR A LITTLE AMOUNT OF TIME. AND HERE WE ARE 30 YEARS LATER AND MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND THIS WOMAN HAS TRULY DEDICATED HER LIFE TO HELPING OTHERS. LOVE LIFE.
THAT'S HER WHOLE THING. YOU'LL HEAR IT ALL THE TIME. LOVE LIFE. BE KIND SHE WISHES I WOULD BE MORE KIND SOMETIMES. BUT SHE SHE REALLY HAS SUCH A HARD FOR PEOPLE. AND AJ, YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT. YOU HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY INVOLVED IN LOVE LIFE AND HELPING PUT TOGETHER THIS EVENT THAT'S COMING ON SATURDAY AND LOOKS LIKE THE RAIN IS SHOWING TO BE CLEAR NOW, SO I KNOW YOU ARE LESS STRESSED. BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ALL THIS PLANNING AND FOR THIS OUTDOOR EVENT AND THEN LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO RAIN. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE, UH , COMPLETELY ADDED TO AND THIS LOVE LIFE JOURNEY OVER THE LAST . UM WHATEVER IT'S BEEN NOW YOU'RE PLUS MORE. YOU TOO, DAVID RACHET NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU NEAR AS MUCH CREDIT AS AGING.
BUT YOU'RE AT EVERY EVENT. YOU'RE ALWAYS OUT THERE. YOU'RE YOU'RE ALWAYS INVOLVED IN CHARITABLE THINGS. AND THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE REALIZE HOW ENGAGED YOU ARE IN THE COMMUNITY. UH, IT'S REALLY GREAT. UM AND LAST THING I'LL SAY IS I WAS EXPECTING BASED ON THIS. THIS THIS CALL PUBLICLY TO FLOOD THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, YOU KNOW, TO SPEAK OUT, AND I WAS
[01:20:04]
EXPECTING MANY MORE PEOPLE HERE AS THEY SHOW UP AT THE SCHOOL BOARD. AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I CERTAINLY GET HATE FOR STANDING UP AGAINST THOSE THINGS AND I'M USED TO IT. I AM NOT SAYING I ENJOYED BY ANY STRETCH. IT DOES BOTHER ME. TRUTH BE TOLD TO SOME EXTENT, BUT I'VE CERTAINLY LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT AND ACCEPT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE HATERS, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.BUT THE SADDEST THING IS THAT THAT THERE AND THERE'S A VERY SPECIFIC GROUP THAT THAT REALLY LEAD THE CHARGE ON HATE AND DIVISIVENESS IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND ALL I WOULD SAY TO THEM IS YOU WANT TO KEEP HATING ON ME. GO AHEAD. I'M GONNA DEAL WITH YOU THE SAME WAY I DO HEAD ON NO BIG DEAL. BUT MAN, THERE'S SO MUCH GOOD HAPPENING IN THIS CITY THAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON WHEN YOU JUST MARRY YOURSELF DOWN AND ALL THIS NEGATIVE NOUS AND ALL THIS STUFF AND YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR CASH. THERE'S NOTHING THAT I SEE GET PRINTED IN IN COMMUNITY IMPACT, OR WE ANNOUNCED FROM THIS COUNCIL CHAMBERS THAT THERE'S NOT SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME DARKNESS VARIOUS THING THAT MUST BE GOING ON IN THIS. THIS JUST THIS ATTACK AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES, AND I WOULD SAY THAT IN YOUR LIFE IS COULD BE SO MUCH RICHER IF YOU ACTUALLY JUST GET OUT OF ALL THAT AND LOOK AROUND AND TRY TO ACCEPT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN YOUR COMMUNITY AT FACE VALUE. GET INVOLVED. GO GO TO PARTICIPATE IN AND THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THIS COMMUNITY AND THE CHARITABLE EVENTS AND THE VOLUNTEER EVENTS OR JUST ANY EVENT AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE GOOD THAT'S GOING ON. BECAUSE THIS COMMUNITY IS A RARITY. WE LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT IS IT WAS JUST AN ARTICLE PRINTED NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT OUR WERE ONE OF THE TOP CITIES IN THE COUNTRY. RECESSION PROOF AS YOU CAN BE. WE ARE ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE ALL THESE INCREDIBLE THINGS HAPPENING. AND THERE'S SO MUCH GOOD IF YOU WOULD JUST JUST PAY ATTENTION TO IT. AND JUST JUST OPEN YOUR HEART AND MIND TO IT AND STOP STOP, YOU KNOW, GET IT.
SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A FIGHT, AND THEY'VE GOT TO BE IN A FIGHT AND I GOTTA GOTTA BE TAKEN UP ARMS, AND THERE'S GOT TO BE AN EVIL PERSON OR AN EVIL GROUP OR AN EVIL POLITICAL PARTY. AND IT'S JUST IT'S A HORRIBLE WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE. UM TAKE A PAGE OUT OF MY WIFE'S BOOK, LOVE LIFE, BE KIND. SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU. EVERYBODY MOTION TO ADJOURN SOME OF SECOND FAVOR, ALRIGHT? NO.
