WE ARE UP 30.31% WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR AND LAST YEAR WAS A RECORD YEAR FOR US, AND SO WE ARE TRENDING IN A REALLY GOOD DIRECTION. AS FAR AS OUR HOT REVENUE GOES IN MCKINNEY, AND I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE TRAVEL AND TOURISM INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, AND SO WE HOPE TO SEE THAT TREND CONTINUE. I WILL OBVIOUSLY KEEP MONITORING IT AND WORKING ON THAT THE BEST WE CAN, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANTED YOU ALL TO KNOW, BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRAVELING HERE AND STAYING HERE.

TO HOST UNDER ONE ROOF, AND THAT MAY BE A REQUIREMENT SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN THAT REPORT THAT TALKED ABOUT WHY WE DIDN'T GET THAT BUSINESS. UM AND SO YOU CAN. YOU CAN KIND OF DIG INTO THAT AND SEE WHERE THEY'RE FALLING MORE OFTEN THAN I, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, IT'S GOING TO BE NOT ENOUGH MEETING SPACE FOR CERTAIN SIZED CONFERENCES OR NOT ENOUGH SLEEP ROOMS. WAS IT ONE PARTICULAR EVENT FOR THE MONTH? I WOULD HAVE TO DRILL THROUGH ON THAT SPECIFIC ONE. BUT WE WILL HAVE EVERY MONTH.

[Financial Report]

ITEM 23-94 FINANCIAL REPORT CHANCE. GOOD MORNING CHANCE. MILLER ACCOUNTING MANAGER HAVE TWO SETS OF FINANCIALS TO SHOW TO YOU ALL TODAY. ONE IS GOING BACK TO 2022. WE FINISHED OUR AUDIT PROCESS. IT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL THIS TUESDAY AND IT WAS APPROVED. AND SO THESE ARE FINAL NUMBERS FOR M C. D. C. AND IT'S PRESENTED ON THE SCREEN AND WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT THE THIRD COLUMN RIGHT NOW. THAT SHOWS OUR YEAR TO DATE, BUT IT ALL ENDED UP BEING AT THE END OF THE YEAR FOR SALES TAX. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE MID YEAR WE REVISED THE BUDGET, THE 20.73 MILLION AND WE ENDED THE YEAR AT 21.18 MILLION. SO WAS 450,000 OVER WHAT OUR MIDYEAR BUDGET WAS . AND IF WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT IT WAS IN 2021 IT WAS 18.3 MILLION. SO WE SAW A 15% INCREASE. UM TO GET US TO THAT 21.18 MILLION IF YOU GO DOWN THE LIST AND SEE WHAT INTEREST INCOME BEFORE 120,000 CONTRIBUTIONS OF A MILLION, SO TOTAL REVENUE FOR 2022 WAS 22.6 MILLION. LOOKING AT SOME OF THE EXPENSES. OPERATING EXPENSES TOTALLED 750,000. PROJECTS FOR THREE LITTLE OVER THREE MILLION. AND ON DEPARTMENTAL IS THE 13.1 MILLION, MADE UP MAINLY OF THE PARK CONSTRUCTION FUND AND TOPS AS WELL AT THE VERY BOTTOM LEFT . THIS SHOWS THE FUND BALANCE IN RESULT OF EVERYTHING. SO WE STARTED THE YEAR OFFICE. 61.4 MILLION. WE HAD 22.6 MILLION REVENUE. UM 16.9 MILLION EXPENSES. SO OUR FINAL FUND BALANCE OR 2020 TO 67.1 MILLION UM AND IF WE WANT TO GO TO JANUARY NOW. PERFECT. OKAY, SO THIS IS OUR FOURTH MONTH OF FISCAL YEAR 2023. FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY, WE HAD CLOSE TO 1.8 MILLION AND SALES TAX REVENUE.

160,000 INTEREST INCOME. AND SO TOTAL REVENUES FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY WAS 1.9 MILLION, CLOSE TO TWO MILLION. AND EXPENSES WITH 51,000 OPERATING EXPENSES. THERE ARE 314,000 PROJECT EXPENSES AND 306,000 AND NON DEPARTMENTAL, WHICH WAS MAINLY PARK CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR THIS MONTH. AND I'M AT THE VERY BOTTOM LEFT. WE UPDATED THE PROJECTIONS FOR THIS YEAR. SO ARE BEGINNING FUND BALANCE. I WENT AHEAD AND UPDATED THAT TO WHAT THE 2022 FINAL WAS 67.1 MILLION, AND WE'RE PROJECTING TO END THE YEAR AT 30.79 MILLION AND FUND BALANCE IF WE GOT A SALES TAX NOW ONE MORE PERFECT. UM MAKING A LITTLE BIGGER. YOU'RE TOO YOUNG FOR THAT THREE KIDS OF AGED ME. UM SO WE HAVE THE MONTH OF JANUARY IS GOING TO APPLY TO SEPTEMBER OR NOVEMBER SALES TAX. UM NEXT MONTH IS GONNA BE OUR BIGGEST MONTH DECEMBER'S COLLECTIONS, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAD A 6.4% INCREASE THAT BRINGS OUR YEAR TODAY TO INCREASE OF 9.9. I WILL NOTE THAT WE HAD, UM WE HAD AUDIT COLLECTIONS AND PRO PERIOD COLLECTIONS THAT IMPACTED THAT NUMBER ARE TRUE INCREASE WAS RIGHT AROUND 5% FOR THIS MONTH, AND THAT KIND OF TRENDS WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING WHEN WE LOOK AT IT BY INDUSTRY, RETAIL TRADES, OUR BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN THE CITY MCKINNEY AND FOR THE PAST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS NOW THAT'S BEEN TRENDING IN THE FIVE 5 TO 6 TO 7% RANGE. SO IF I'M USING THAT AS AN INDICATOR WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE FUTURE, I AM LOOKING LIKE WE'RE GONNA BE STAYING IN THIS RANGE TO THE 5 TO 678% RANGE, DEPENDING ON HOW THE OTHER INDUSTRIES LINE UP. YOU CAN SEE ALLEN WAS 1.1% HAVE THEY HAD AUDIT COLLECTIONS AS WELL. THEY ACTUALLY HAD A TRUE DECREASE WHEN THEY COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. UM FRISCO 9.7% THAT WAS PRETTY, UM, DIDN'T HAVE ANY AUDIT COLLECTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND PLAYING ON HOW TO 7.8% INCREASE AND WE ARE ABOUT TO START THE BUDGET PROCESS AGAIN. FOR 2020 FOR OUR BUDGET KICKOFF IS NEXT WEEK. AND THEN I'LL BE WORKING WITH SIX SYDNEY ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO GET IT AND WE'LL TAKE IT TO USUALLY IN JUNE OR JULY. FOR YOU ALL TO LOOK AT THAT TIME AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO

[00:30:03]

STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS WILL CHANGE. I'M JUST GOING BACK TO THE AUDITED FINANCIALS. WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND BALANCE, WHICH IS SHOWN IN 67 MILLION JUST WANTED TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT OF THAT AMOUNT OF 39 MILLION IS COMMITTED TO PROJECTS SO IT IS NOT MHM. ALL AVAILABLE FOR FUNDING AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND A LOT OF THOSE EXPERIENCES E. A LOT OF THOSE EXPENSES THAT WEREN'T USED IN 2022 GOT RE APPROPRIATED THIS YEAR, AND THAT'S WHY YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE PROJECTING OUR FUND BALANCE TO END AT 30 MILLION AT THE END OF THIS CURRENT YEAR THAT WE'RE IN THANK YOU.

AT THIS TIME, MR DAVID KELLEY, DO WE NEED TO GO BACK?

[00:35:09]

OH WE VOTING, LET'S GO BACK AND VOTE. MY BAD APOLOGIZED. NOW WE NEED TO VOTE. NOW THAT WE HAVE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM 23-96. MADAM CHAIR I'D LIKE TO. I WILL MAKE A MOTION, BUT I'D LIKE TO EXPLAIN IT FIRST. UM IN LOOKING AT THIS REQUEST, THERE'S THREE PARTS OF IT. THERE'S THE ROOFTOP SIGN, AND THEN THERE'S TWO ON BUILDING SIGNAGE, DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE FOR PEOPLE COMING INTO THE BUILDING . I THINK THAT THE ROOFTOP SIGN , UM FITS IN WELL WITH THE OTHER SIGNAGE AESTHETICS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN DOWNTOWN. I THINK THAT THE FLOUR MILL IS AN IMPORTANT BUILDING AND PART OF OUR HISTORY AND PART OF THE OVERALL AESTHETIC OF, UM, THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND PARTICULARLY BEING ON EAST OF FIVE, AN AREA THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACTIVATE.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A GOOD SIGN THE TWO LOWER SIGNS, UM, THAT ARE ON THE BUILDING. I THINK THAT THESE ARE FOR PATRONS OF THAT BUILDING IN THE BUSINESSES IN THOSE IN THAT BUILDING, AND I THINK FRANKLY, THAT PRIVATE. PRIVATE LEONE BUSINESSES NEED TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN SIGNAGE, AND I DON'T WANT TO START A PRECEDENT WHERE WE ARE OPENING OURSELVES UP TO OTHER SIGNS OF THIS TYPE, AND I THINK THAT AS WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIVATING AND IN INCREASING VISITATION DOWNTOWN, AND I THINK THAT THAT ROOFTOP SIGN DOES THAT SO I WILL MAKE A MOTION. TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST FOR ONE NEON SIGN IN THE AMOUNT OF $59,537. WHICH IS THE INVOICED AMOUNT FOR THE ROOFTOP FLOUR MILL SIGN. I'LL SECOND. IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND GET THAT NOW.

WE ARE LOWS. COFFEE COMPANY. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR TIME THIS MORNING IN TERMS OF HOW WE STARTED AND WHERE WE CAME FROM. MY FAMILY IS FROM PUERTO RICO AND COFFEE HAS ALWAYS JUST BEEN SORT OF THIS CENTER POINT OF OUR MEETING. IT'S HOW WE START OUR DAYS. THAT'S HOW WE OFTEN END OUR DAYS. UM AND GROWING UP MY CHILDHOOD, MY ADOLESCENTS. I WOULD SPEND MY SUMMERS IN PUERTO RICO WITH MY GRANDPARENTS AT THEIR HOME AND EVERY SINGLE MORNING MY GRANDFATHER WOULD WAKE ME UP EARLY AND WE WOULD WALK DOWN TO THE BAKERY AT THE END OF THE STREET BY TWO LOAVES OF FRESH BREAD. COME BACK AND SIT ON OUR PORCH AND DRINK COFFEE AND EAT BREAD. AND THAT WAS JUST HOW WE STARTED OUR DAY. UM AND FOR MOST OF MY CHILDHOOD, IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES OF JUST GETTING TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM.

UM UNFORTUNATELY IN 2017. WE LOST MY GRANDFATHER AND A FEW WEEKS AFTER HE PASSED MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AT HOME WITH THE KIDS AND A PACKAGE ARRIVED OF £8 OF GREEN COFFEE BEANS. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT WAS. I HONESTLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT COFFEE STARTED OUT GREEN. I'M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU. UM AND SO I LOOKED AT HIM AND I SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS HERE. AND HE SAID I WANT TO START A COFFEE COMPANY AND I WANT TO NAME IT AFTER YOUR GRANDFATHER. UM AND WHEN YOUR PARTNER WANTS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S REALLY HARD TO SAY NO. SO WE STARTED REALLY SMALL. WE STARTED SELLING ONLINE JUST £1 BAGS OF ROASTED COFFEE TO LOCAL RETAIL CUSTOMERS. AND YOU KNOW, AT THE SAME TIME WORKING OUR FULL TIME JOBS WORKING THE COFFEE BUSINESS, PART TIME RAISING KIDS JUST TRYING TO JUGGLE EVERYTHING AND 2019. WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE LEAP. AND DEREK LEFT HIS FULL TIME JOB. ERIC CLAPTON'S FULL TIME JOB AND TOOK ON THE COFFEE BUSINESS FULL TIME. THAT'S AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT WE APPROACH TOPS AND ESTABLISH A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AS WELL AND SEE IF OUR BUSINESSES COULD KIND OF MUTUALLY COLLABORATE TO GROW EACH OTHER. WE'RE REALLY THRILLED TO FIND OUT THAT THEY HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WE COULD OFFER AS WELL AND WE REALLY ESTABLISHED A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM . EARLY ON, WE'VE PROVIDED COFFEE TO A LOT OF THEIR STOUTS . THEY'RE FULL GROWN MAN CHILD, THEIR DIET BAR BRUNCH, WHICH IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE. AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH TOUPS SINCE AROUND THAT TIME AROUND THAT TIME. ALSO, WE STARTED REALLY EXPANDING OUR WHOLESALE BUSINESS AS WELL. WE MADE RELATIONSHIPS WITH 33 RESTAURANT GROUP FRONT BURNER RESTAURANT GROUP AND STARTED PROVIDING COFFEE TO A LOT OF THEIR LARGER BRANDS. WHISKEY CAKE, HAYWIRE UNION BEAR AND REALLY STARTING TO BUILD OUR NAME AS A WHOLESALE

[00:45:04]

COFFEE RETAILER. AND THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON BUILDING OUT THE WAY STATION AT THE NEW TAX PROPERTY AS OUR FIRST ROASTERY CAFE AND STOREFRONT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED . IT'S GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT, AND WE ARE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL WITH TOPS AND TRYING TO GROW THESE TWO THINGS SEPARATELY BUT ALSO COLLABORATIVELY THE SAME TIME.

AH AND THAT'S WHAT BRINGS US TO STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU LOVELY PEOPLE THIS MORNING. IN TERMS OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS. WE NEED ELECTRICAL CONNECTED TO A NEW TRANSFORMER. WE NEED PLUMBING CONNECTED TO CITY SEWAGE AS WELL AS A GREASE TRAP, AND THOSE ARE REALLY BIG NEEDS AND ASKED AT THIS TIME ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR TIME THIS MORNING, AND WE ARE HAPPY TO HEAR ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY IS A FORMER COFFEE SHOP OWNER. I CAN APPRECIATE THE LOVE OF THE BEAN. I JUST WANTED TO ASK SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE IT CLARIFIED IN THE APPLICATION. YOU'RE REQUESTING $50,000 FOR THE TWO PROJECTS. BUT CAN YOU BREAK THEM DOWN FOR ME IN TERMS OF THE SPECIFIC LINE ITEM COST? I SEE IT. I'M COMING IS THE OVER UNDER ON PLUMBING FROM 80,000 TO 20,000. IT WAS A PRETTY BIG SPRINT. YEAH I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE THE PROJECT THERE ISN'T COMPLETE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GIVE US SPECIFIC INVOICE OR QUOTE. UM, THE ELECTRIC IS SAME. 90,000. THANK YOU SENT TO ME. THANK YOU. SO IF WE JUST WANT WITH THE LOW END ESTIMATES.

UM IT WOULD BE LESS THAN THE 50,000 ADJUSTED GRANT. YES, IF THAT WERE THE CASE, YES. HAVE THEY GIVEN ANY KIND OF TIMELINE FOR WHEN THEY COULD BE A LITTLE MORE MORE PRECISE. NOT NOT AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THE. OUR TIMEFRAME KIND OF RELIES ON TIPS TIMEFRAME FOR THEIR TEMPORARY CEO. I WOULD NOTE THAT THAT AS THAT YOUR ESTIMATE IS FROM JULY. RIGHT YEAH. SO IF THERE IS A IF THERE IS A CONTRACT ESTIMATE FROM JULY THAT ENDS UP ON THE LOW AMOUNT, AS OPPOSED TO THE HIGH AMOUNT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT ONE. SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULD ANTICIPATE THE HIGHER AMOUNT. AND IF YOU WERE TO GET THE GRANT, HOW WOULD YOU MAKE UP THE GAP IF IT WAS ON THE HIGH END? THROUGH BUSINESS FUNDS. LOANS. YEAH. SURE QUESTION. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US AND TUBS AND YOU IN TUBS SO WE SUBSIDIZE OUR TENANT ON THIS PROPERTY, RIGHT? AND THEY ARE SUBLEASING THIS PROPERTY TO YOU. HAVE THEY GIVEN YOU ANY TENANT IMPROVEMENTS? NO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THAT AS WELL. I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THE QUESTION, DAVID SO NO TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AT ALL FOR BUILD OUT, OKAY. ANYTHING THEY'RE SAYING ANYTHING INSIDE WAS OUR. RESPONSIBILITY ANYTHING OUTSIDE WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AT SOME POINT, BUT FOR THESE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, I'M NOT SURE. I IF THEY WERE BE WILLING TO, YOU KNOW. GO TOWARDS THAT. BORDER. SURE. UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. AGAIN.

I WILL TRY NOT TO GET TOO FAR UP THIS MORNING AS I TALKED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CITY STAFF

[00:50:09]

BEEN VERY HELPFUL. HAPPENED AS NAVIGATE NOT ONLY EXIST THIS ASPECT. SEVERAL ASKED TO THE CITY AND THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD HAVE NAVIGATED KATE MCNALLY ARE CONTROL AND I IF WE HADN'T HAD THAT HELPS. I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THE NEW HARVEST TWO POINT OH, PROJECT. TO BRIEFLY RECAP ■THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF HARVEST 2.92 POINT EIGHT WE WILL APPROXIMATELY CREATE 33 NEW JOBS IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY AND THEN ESTIMATED FIVE YEAR AVERAGE OF $3.7 MILLION. WE'RE INVESTING $2.4 MILLION IN CONSTRUCTION OR INNOVATION TO REPURPOSE THE BUILDING. BUT IN ADDITION TO THE DIRECT FINANCIAL IMPACT ABOVE REPURPOSE ABILITY CAN UNLOCK THE FUTURE ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY AREA. 15 YEARS AGO, RICK'S SHOP , ELLISON HOTEL, BECAME AN ANCHOR OF THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT HARVEST. SEASONAL KITCHEN HAS BEEN DOWNTOWN FOR NINE YEARS, AND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THAT PRESENTED THEMSELVES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. DOWNTOWN IS WHERE WE BELONG. THIS PROJECT WILL SERVE AS AN ANCHOR TO THE NORTH CORNER OF DOWNTOWN DURING ADDITIONAL VALUE TO DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE THERE OVER THE COMING YEARS. HARVEST HAS A NINE YEAR PROOF OF CONCEPT , BRINGING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. DAD TOWN, NEARLY DRIVING TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY, THE COUNTY AND THE STATE. THIS PROJECT IS VERY COMPLICATED. AS WE OPEN UP WINDOWS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED FOR DECADES CUT HOLES THREE FLOORS TO ADD ELEVATORS. LIFT SERVICE STAIRWELLS INSTALLED KITCHENS ON THE SECOND FLOOR TO HELP SERVICE WHAT SHOULD BE ONE OF THE BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUES IN THE STATE ON THE THIRD FLOOR, WAS SWEEPING VIEWS OF THE HISTORICAL CULTURAL DISTRICT. THE ENGINEERING A LINE HAS BEEN A FEAT IN ADDITION TO BRINGING SAFETY, HEALTH AND BUILDING CODES UP TO 2023 STANDARDS. REPURPOSING THE BUILDING IS TO DRIVE TRAFFIC IS A KEY COMPONENT TO THIS PROJECT. THE PROJECT IS SO COMPLEX. WE COULD ONLY GET ONE BID. FOR THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM. HALLWAYS IS HARVEST IS ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY AND COMMUNITY, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS NOTED.

IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CONCLUSION OF HARVEST IN THE TEXT IN 20 LIST OF 2019. THIS REWARD, WHICH RECEIVED TWO YEARS IN A ROW, IS GIVEN BY TEXAS BY NATURE, A NONPROFIT LEAKING BUSINESSES AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS THAT FOUNDED BY FORMER FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH. THE LIST ANNUALLY RECOGNIZES 20 COMPANIES WITH TEXAS OPERATION THAT IS DEMONSTRATED THAT COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION. THIS REPURPOSED BUILDING STANDS FOR CONSERVATION . THIS BUILDING IS RESTORED BACK TO HIS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE WITH STRICT GUIDELINES FROM THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. ALMOST EVERY WINDOW IS BEING OPEN AND CUSTOM FRYING TO ALIGN WITH HISTORY. THE FRANKFURT STARTED BEING COMPLETELY REDESIGNED AND ENGINEERED TO LOOK THE WAY IT DID IN 1911. EVEN THE TYPE OF MORTAR USED FOR BRICK REPAIRS IS SPECIFIC IN THE REQUIRED IN THE REAL REAL ABILITY ATION OF THIS BUILDING. CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY, USING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE. AND DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY IS WHAT HARVEST STANDS FOR. THIS BUILDING SUPPORTS THE LOCAL COMMUNITY MOST MANY MADE FROM OUR COMPANY STATES RIGHT HERE IN THIS LOCAL COMMUNITY OF VERY CLOSE. AND WE PURCHASED FROM LOCAL COMPANIES. JUST NOT JUST OUR FOOD BY MOUTH TO ALMOST EVERYTHING WE SOURCES LOCALLY. ARTISTS CRAFTSMEN, PROFESSIONALS , ALL ON THE EUROPOL IMPACT ON THIS PROJECT. WHAT IS MADE HERE STAYS HERE. WHAT WE LEARNED WE SHARE. WE HAVE A HISTORY OF SHARING WITH PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS HOW TO DO THINGS BETTER. THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN A DREAM OF VIRUS FOR YEARS AND FINALLY TO SEE IT. COMING TO LIFE NOTWITHSTANDING, IF A LOT OF SURPRISES AND DELAYS IN THE WAY AFTER THE AFTER LINING OF THE CITY'S PLANS TO CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS AND REDEVELOPED SITES AND DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. WE KNEW EVEN MORE HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO REPURPOSE THIS BUILDING AND CREATED A LANDMARK DESTINATION TO THE NORTH. AND THAT LANDMARK IS GOING TO BE HARVESTED ON THE SONIC. THIS BUILDING STANDS. FOR DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY. IT'S JUST A STANDARD. FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW. IT IS THE LAST TOTAL OF INNOVATION PROJECT IN DOWNTOWN

[00:55:01]

AND WE'RE TRYING TO REPURPOSE TO BUILDING TO MAKE IT ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HELPING THIS PROJECT AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PARTNERSHIP, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT SHE MAY HAVE WAS RIGHT ON. YOU DID GOOD PRACTICE NIGHT. YEAH YOU DID. GOOD MAN. RELAX TICKET, RIGHT. THAT WAS GREAT. THERE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR WILL HE JUST NEEDS TO PRACTICE ON HIS ENTHUSIASM, ENTHUSIASM. RECORDS WILL START OFF BUT THE SAME MAN , YOU'RE JUST FANTASTIC KEEPING THESE BUILDINGS AND EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR DOWNTOWN. KEEPING BIKINI IS FANTASTIC AS IT IS. IT'S APPRECIATE THAT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME FRAME OR WHEN THIS PROJECT WILL BE FINISHED? WE LOOK AT AUGUST. WILL BE DONE . SO UM IT WE FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT AUGUST. IT'S EXTREMELY COMPLICATED. IMAGINE HOW DO YOU KNOW BUILDING AND I'M SURE YOU GET A LOT OF UNCOVER. WE UNCOVERED LEAD PAINT AND IN THE BUILDING ON MONDAY, UH, IF WE JUST CONTINUE AND COVER THE THINGS THAT WE FELT LIKE ABOUT TWO OR THREE MONTHS AGO, WE HAD PROBABLY UNCOVERED EVERYTHING THAT WE FELT LIKE WE COULD, UM HAVE YOU FOUND ANY GOOD TREATS IN THERE AND AGAIN ANY FINAL TREATS, ARTIFACTS OR HISTORICAL ITEMS, HISTORICAL THINGS. I THINK THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING ON THIS SEVERAL. I THINK, PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ONE FROM MAY. IS UNDERSTANDING THOSE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN CLOSED FOR 75 YEARS. AND WHEN THEY OPENED UP LAST WEDNESDAY, AND I WAS ABLE TO WALK UP THERE IN THE EVENING. AND SEE HOW WELL THE BOTTOM UM, IT REALLY I MEAN, THAT IS PROBABLY BEEN THE BIGGEST IMPACT AND JUST UNDERSTANDING SENDING THAT PRETTY HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR THAT LONG. IS REALLY EXCITING FOR US TO UM, HAVE PEOPLE.

ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE CITY FOR YOU KNOW, DECADES. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITING TO SEE A LOT OF THOSE MASONS. CAN I COME BACK OUT THERE AND CHECK OUT THE THIRD FLOOR? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. OKAY. IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. ARE THERE ANY . ANYONE HERE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING? I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. MOVED. WHO BY JOY 2ND 2ND BY MARY. YES PROPERLY MOVING SECOND BY UM GEORGE BLUTH AND MARRIED BUT MAN IS GONNA SAVE ME BECAUSE I CAN NEVER GIVE IT RIGHT. UM IT HAS BEEN CLOSED. MOTION PASSES.

Louisiana Street, McKinney, Texas.]

THANK YOU. OKAY ITEM 23-1. 01 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERED DISCUSSED ACT ON RETAIL DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT INFRASTRUCTURE SUBMITTED BY HARRINGTON FUND LP IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 FOR THE EXTERIOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE CREATION OF THE CATERING, BUSINESS AND OUTDOOR RESTAURANT, INCLUDING FENCING 80 88 COMPLIANT RAMP. WALL AND FOOT OR FOR PLANNERS DECOMPOSED, GRANTED AND WALKWAY TO THE PARKING LOT, LOCATED AT THE FLOUR MILL, LOCATED AT 407 EAST LOUISIANA STREET, MCKINNEY, TEXAS. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. I'M JAMES PRESIDENT HAN AND I'M, THE MANAGER OF THE MCKINNEY FLOUR MILL AND ALSO HEADING TO FUND THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND MADAM PRESIDENT. NOT HERE YET AND THE REST OF THE BOARD. FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR VOTING IN FAVOR OF THE SIGN. THAT WAS THAT'S GONNA BE AN AMAZING FEATURE. AND SO THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THAT SIGN UP ON THE ROOF SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THAT SO I JUST WANT TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE. FIRST OF ALL FOR THAT. SO THE NEXT PROJECT THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IS THIS GARDEN OUTBOARD GUARDS THAT WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO PUT IN IN PLACE, PROBABLY FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW, AND IT'S COMING TO A TIME TO DO THIS. THIS IS THE PROPERTY. THE WEATHER SITE. PLAN. WORDS ARE THAT'S NORTH. SO THAT'S CITY HALL, THE FUTURE CITY HALL. AND THAT'S VIRGINIA. THAT WOULD BE RUNNING UP THERE AND THEN ON THE SOUTH SIDE ON THIS ON THE LOWER END IS LOUISIANA AND THEN ON THE RIGHT

[01:00:01]

SIDE WOULD BE THROCKMORTON. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. AND SO THE PROPERTY THAT WE WANT TO IMPROVE OR THE IS ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, LOUISIANA AND THROCKMORTON. AND THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO LOOK AT. THE DRAWING THAT I HAVE. WE HAVE A WALKWAY AND THOSE ARE THOSE LINES. WE WANT TO CONVERT THAT INTO CONCRETE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN DECOMPOSED GRANITE FOR 10 YEARS WHEN WE PUT IT IN AND THE RETAINING WALL THERE NEXT TO THE YELLOW PART IS GOING TO BE THE DECOMPOSED GRANITE. AND THEN NEXT TO THE LEFT OF THAT IS A RETAINING WALL. AND THIS WILL ALL MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE WHEN I SHOW YOU PICTURES, BUT FOR NOW, IT'S JUST KIND OF BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF EVERYTHING. AND THERE IS A RAMP THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE BUILDING IN THE FRONT AND IT WAS BUILT 10 YEARS AGO. TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT BUILDING AS A RETAIL STORE. IT'S STARTING THE WHERE DOWN. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO IMPROVE THIS PART OF OUR PROPERTY THAT REALLY FRANKLY HAS BEEN KIND OF LEFT IN THE BACKGROUND. AS WE'VE BEEN IMPROVING OTHER PARTS. SO HERE IS A PICTURE FROM STANDING IN LOUISIANA STREET LOOKING NORTH.

AND THAT'S THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND JUST A QUICK LITTLE HISTORY. THIS WAS THE OFFICE OF THE FLOUR MILL, AND SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE OFF THE PRESIDENT OF THE FLOUR MILL AND THEIR OFFICERS WORKING OUT OF HERE AND THE EMPLOYEES COMING IN. TO COLLECT THEIR PAY AT THE END OF THE WEEK. IN FACT, THERE WAS A SAFE IN THIS BUILDING THAT WE HAVE TAKEN OUT AND PRESERVED AND WE HAVE IT IN ANOTHER PART OF THE PROPERTY. UM BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY KEPT THE MONEY AND WE OPENED UP THE SAFE AND WE FOUND WE DIDN'T FIND BAGS OF GOLD LIKE WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT. WE FOUND 22 PENNIES. RUBBER BAND. AND TO FIONA GAS CARDS FROM A GAS STATION FROM THE 19 EIGHTIES. SO THAT WAS OUR FIND WHEN WE OPEN THEM SAFE. IT ALSO IS A GOOD WAY TO SHOW WHERE THE DECOMPOSED GRANITE SIDEWALK IS. CURRENTLY AND, UM THE RAMP. THAT WE WANT TO REPLACE. AND THIS IS THE CLOSER LOOK AT THE A D. A WALKWAY GOING NORTH. YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE FENCE IN THE BACKGROUND THERE WHERE CITY HALL IS BEING BEING CURRENTLY BUILT. AND ON THE LEFT IS THE GARDEN THAT M C D. C HELPED US BUILD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AND THAT'S THE ARTIFICIAL TURF THERE. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO GREEN. BUT YOU CAN KIND OF YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN IMPROVED, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HASN'T JUST TO THE RIGHT. IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT , AND THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION OF OUR A D, A WALKWAY CIRCLES AROUND AND THIS IS STANDING IN THE GARDEN TAKING A PICTURE GOING NORTH. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE CONCRETE CURRENTLY IN STEPS, SO IT JUST BE A CONTINUATION OF WHAT'S ALREADY STARTED TO HAPPEN THERE.

WITH THE CONCRETE AND THEN IT MEETS THE PARKING LOT THAT WE HAVE, AND YOU CAN SEE THE STRIPES ON THE ON THE CONCRETE. IT'S ALREADY AN A D, A APPROVED WALKWAY, SO WE'RE JUST IMPROVING WHAT'S ALREADY THERE? ANOTHER PICTURE. FACING THE GARDEN. YOU CAN SEE THE CONCRETE THAT WE HAVE ALREADY AND THEN IT TURNS INTO DECOMPOSED GRANITE. AND THIS WOULD BE THE ENTRANCE. TO THE OUTDOOR GARDEN. CAFE THAT WE WANT TO BUILD. THIS IS THE CLOSE UP OF THE RAMP. AND WE ALSO WANT TO PUT IN A RETAINING WALL. TO THE LEFT THERE THEY WOULD MATCH THE RETAINING WALL THAT'S ALREADY IN THE GARDEN. AND ALONG THE RAMP THAT WILL BE CONVERTED INTO CONCRETE, AND THERE'LL BE A PLANTER. BOX BUILT OUT OF CONCRETE. WE WILL HAVE FLOWERS AND BUSHES AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DEMO THE STAIRS IS COMING DOWN THERE AND THEN HAVE NEW STAIRS. COMING DOWN ALONGSIDE THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT RAMP. AND THIS IS THE FENCE WHERE WE WOULD WE'LL HAVE A PRIVACY FENCE GOING AROUND THE PROPERTY. KEEP PEOPLE OUT AND KEEP PEOPLE IN. AND THERE WILL BE A PRIVACY FENCE IN BETWEEN THE CURRENT OUTDOOR GARDEN. AND THE NEW OUTDOOR GARDEN. CAFE SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN A FUNCTION IN THE GARDEN CURRENTLY AND NOT HAVE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE RESTAURANT AND VICE VERSA. AND THEN SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT A PRIVACY FENCE COULD LOOK LIKE GOING AROUND THE PROPERTY AND WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE CITY. AND ABIDING BY THEIR CODE. WHAT OFFENSE WOULD LOOK LIKE? AND THIS IS JUST AN IDEA OF WE ARE WEDDING VENUE, SO WE WANT TO KEEP THINGS BEAUTIFUL AND PRETTY AND AN IDEA OF WHAT THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARDEN COULD LOOK LIKE.

[01:05:04]

SO ARCH. AND I'LL FINISH MY PRESENTATION. BUT I WANTED TO FINISH WITH THE SITE PLAN SO THAT YOU COULD SEE MORE OR LESS WHAT IT ALL ENCOMPASSES. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YES I HAVE SOME. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MONEY IS BEING REQUESTED FOR. BUT MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE REHAB FOR THE OFFICE BUILDING ITSELF.

SO RIGHT NOW, WHERE DO YOU STAND ? HOW CLOSE ARE YOU TO ACTUALLY MAKING THIS A CATERING, BUSINESS AND RESTAURANT. SO WE HAVE A TENANT CURRENTLY IN THE BUILDING IN THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING, AND THEIR LEASE IS UP AT THE END OF MAY, AND SO AS SOON AS THEY'RE OUT THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO AND START DOING THE PROPOSED WORK. OKAY AND HOW MUCH RENOVATION IS GOING TO BE REQUIRED FOR THE SPACE LIKE WHAT IS OVERALL TIMELINE MAY FORWARD TO OPEN IT UP AS A CATERING KITCHEN. WELL IT IS CURRENTLY A CATERING KITCHEN, SO WHATEVER IS TAKEN OUT UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO REPLACE LIKE A STOVE AND MAYBE SOME AH, PREP TABLES IN THE THREE WAY SINK THOSE SORTS OF THINGS, BUT THERE'S A GREASE TRAP THAT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. AND THERE IS A EVENT IN THE IN THE ROOF. IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF COOKING CURRENTLY, SO THE BIG, EXPENSIVE ITEMS WILL STAY WITH THE PROPERTY. AND THEN WITH THESE IMPROVEMENTS, UM WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO CATERING. CERTAINLY. UH, FAIRLY SOON AFTER. MAY 31ST WHEN THEY MOVE OUT, LET'S SAY A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE AN OPERATING KITCHEN AND CATERING AT THAT POINT. OKAY BUT THE IDEA IS ULTIMATELY TO HAVE A RESTAURANT WITH PATRIOTS. YES, I THINK THAT WE WOULD WHAT? THROUGH THAT PROCESS STEP BY STEP. AND MAKING SURE THAT THE MARKET IS AVAILABLE FOR THAT RESTAURANT BUSINESS. NOW WE DO HAVE AN EVENT BUSINESS SO WE CAN CREATE EVENTS THERE AND SO WE COULD HAVE A REHEARSAL DINNER AND OUTDOOR REHEARSAL DINNER OR BIRTHDAY PARTIES, THINGS LIKE THAT. OKAY BUT AS CURRENTLY CONCEIVED, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE PATRONS COMING IN AND OUT USING THE RAMP. IT'S REALLY THE CATERING COMPANY. PERHAPS WHEELING, YOU KNOW TRAYS OF FOOD IN AND OUT, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ENTER THE SPACE AS IT'S DESIGNED. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT WILL BE, YEAH. WHEN THE RESTAURANT IS FUNCTIONING, THE PUBLIC CAN GO IN. THERE WILL PROBABLY HAVE RESTROOMS IN THERE FOR THEM TO GO USE THE RESTROOM. OKAY. ALRIGHT. MAYBE SOME SEATING IN OUR AREA WE HAVE IT'S 1000 SQUARE FEET, SO WE MAY HAVE SOME SEATING AREA IN THERE AS WELL FOR PATRONS TO THE TO THE RESTAURANT. SHOOT. AND TO IMAGINE THIS WALKWAY IN THIS CONCRETE, BUT ONCE YOU. TO DO THIS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER AREAS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE? 88 ISSUES OR WILL THIS PROVIDE MOBILITY? AROUND THE PROPERTY OR THEIR OTHER. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS THAT YOU STILL HAVE TO TACKLE LATER. NO, WE HAVE 88 IN THE OTHER AREAS CURRENTLY, AND THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR 10 YEARS, SO IT'S FUNCTIONED. UM FOR BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT MANY PUBLIC. UH REASONS FOR PEOPLE TO GO THERE AT THAT SIDE OF THE BUILDING, SO I THINK IT CONCRETE ONE WOULD BE MORE LONG TERM AND BE A BETTER FUNCTION THAN IT IS NOW. BUT THIS WILL PROVIDE ALL THE A D A NEEDED FOR THAT SPACE. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. THIS IS THE FEBRUARY YOU SAID YOU'RE GONNA START THIS IN MAY. HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU? BECAUSE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, THINGS GO UP AND UP AND UP. SO IS YOUR CONTRACTOR LOCKED INTO THIS PRICE OR THANK YOU FOR ASKING. I DID TELL THEM ALL OF THE SAME THING THAT THIS WORK WOULDN'T COMPLETE START UNTIL JUNE. AND UM THESE WERE THE QUOTES THAT THEY GAVE ME SO THEY DO KNOW THAT THIS IS WHEN THE START TIME IS THE PRICES GO UP.

YOU'RE GONNA FIND THAT YOURSELF CORRECT. WE'RE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 157,000 RIGHT NOW ON THE COST OF WHAT I'VE PROPOSED. AND SO THERE'S A. THERE'S A THE CIVIL ENGINEERING CAME IN A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN I HAD. I HAD GOTTEN TO QUOTES. AND THE SECOND ONE WAS FROM THE CIVIL ENGINEER THAT HAD DONE THE WORK FOR THE ARTIFICIAL TURF THAT GARDEN. AND SO IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR HIM TO USE THE SAME. DOCUMENTS THAT HE USED THEN. AND THAT'S WHY THE PRICE DIFFERENCE IS MUCH LESS SO. MORE THAN LIKELY WILL BE GOING WITH HIM BECAUSE HE'S OKAY . HE'S 10,000 INSTEAD OF ALMOST 30,000 FROM THE OTHER ONE, AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THERE TO PRICE WISE. THANK YOU. JAMES.

LET ME ASK ABOUT THE WALKWAY SO YOU'VE GOT PICTURES IN YOUR PRESENTATION OF A CURRENT WALKWAY. YES, THAT IS DECOMPOSED GRANITE. AND ARE YOU PROPOSING? DIFFERENT WALKWAY OR LIKE THAT THAT WALKWAY IS NOT CURRENT. THE D G IS NOT CURRENTLY A D A. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? AND SO

[01:10:02]

YOU'RE GONNA PUT IN CONCRETE PATH. IT IS IT IS APPROVED CURRENTLY. A D A. AND YOU CAN.

YOU CAN USE IT ALL DAY LONG. IT'S FINE. THE ISSUE IS THAT IF IT RAINS UH, IT COULD. IF YOU HAD SOMEONE IN A WHEELCHAIR, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO NAVIGATE THAT, SO IT'S APPROVED NOW, AND WE'VE BEEN USING IT FOR 10 YEARS. THE CONCRETE WOULD JUST MAKE IT IMPROVEMENT TO IT SINCE MAKE IT MUCH MORE LONG TERM. OKAY? UM AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA PUT UP A FENCE BETWEEN A PRIVACY FENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AREAS. BUT THERE IS AND YOU SHOWED US PICTURES OF IT. THERE IS A LOOKS MAYBE, LIKE A TEMPORARY FENCE CONSTRUCTED THERE. YOU WANT ME TO GO BACK? NO. I CAN SEE IT. UM, I JUST THERE'S JUST LIKE THIS ONE PANEL OF FENCING, SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT WHAT THAT IS, AND THAT'S A PRIVACY FENCE CURRENTLY BECAUSE THE LOUISIANA STREET'S GONNA ABOUT TO BE IMPROVED AND IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE ABOUT CONSTRUCTION SITE. THEY'RE CURRENTLY HAVE A WEDDING BUSINESS. SO WE HAVE OUTDOOR WEDDINGS AND UH, COCKTAIL HOURS AND SO THAT WAS CREATED BUFFER. BETWEEN THE TWO. SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO EXTEND THAT OR I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU ALREADY DONE THE WORK THAT YOU'RE COMING TO US, TOO? NO I WAS THAT WAS JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT WAS JUST A SECTION THAT WE PUT UP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROPOSAL. AND SO WE HAVEN'T DONE ANY OTHER WORK THAT I'VE PROPOSED YET. OKAY, SO THEN THE FENCE THAT WE WOULD PAY FOR WOULD BE COMPLETELY NEW, OR IT WOULD BE AN EXTENSION OF THAT EXISTING FENCE PANEL SECTION WANTING IT TO BE AN EXTENSION OF THAT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE CITY COMES BACK TO AND SAYS, IF THAT'S APPROVED OR NOT, OKAY, SOME SORT OF FENCING. THAT'S THAT'S A PRIVACY FENCE. THAT'S THERE NOW. AND IF WE CAN CONTINUE THAT, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO USE THAT. BUT IF WE CANNOT, THEN WE'LL JUST GO WITH WHAT THE CITY IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO.

OKAY? ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING . ARE THERE ANY ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLIC. HERE IN ITEM. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED SECONDED BY DEBORAH SECOND BY CATHERINE.

I'M SORRY. YES, THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES. PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED. THANK YOU VERY

HERE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE ARE THE LOVELY PHOTOS OF MY EXISTING PATIO OUT BACK AND MY EXISTING, UM, FENCE, WHICH WE ALSO CALL A SQUIRREL BED AND BREAKFAST FOR ALL THE ONES THAT DO NOT PAY RENTS TO STAY THERE. SO WE ARE LOOKING TO, UM, TAKE DOWN THAT FENCE AND REPLACE THAT FENCE. WE ALREADY HAVE SUBMITTED AND HAVE APPROVED FOR THE HISTORICAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE FENCE. SO THE FENCE WILL PRETTY MUCH LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. WE'RE GONNA MAKE THE COLUMNS LITTLE SMALLER, SO WE HAD THE CREATURES GET SMALLER THAT CAN LIVE IN THEM. AND, UM SO, YES, SO JUST GOING DOWN THERE IS FENCING. WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW OR PUT A LOT OF LIGHTING ON THE FENCE ON THE INSIDE OF THE FENCE AND THEN THE BACK PART OF THE FENCE THAT SHINES ONTO THE PARKING LOT WHERE OUR GUESTS PARK THEY ENTER FROM THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. UM AND THEN FOR THE SITE WORK FOR THE BACK PORCH . WE'RE NOT ASKING THE BOARD TO DO THE TOP OF THE PORCH. WE'RE LOOKING TO HELP HELP WITH THE FOUNDATION. PART OF THE, UM, THE BACK PORCH SO AND AS WE ALL KNOW , UM AND I HAD TO HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED HERE. SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON'T QUITE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE UNDER THERE. SO UM, MY FRAMER WHO ACTUALLY DID THE HOUSE THE FULL TWO YEAR RESTORATION REMODEL OF THE HOUSE IS THE ONE THAT DID THE WORK ON THE FRAMING? UM FOR THAT, AND A SECOND OR LAST PART OF THAT IS THE SEWER. RUFFIN WE HAVE NO FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM FOR PUBLIC USE, SAID ANOTHER ESTATE, AND WE HAVE SURVIVED THIS LONG WITHOUT IT. UM BUT WE DO HAVE A POOL AND GARDENS AND OUTDOOR AREAS AND LIKE ALL OF US, WHO GO AND TRAVEL AND WE'RE USING THE POOL.

WE'RE HAVING FUN. THEY BASICALLY HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOUSE, GO UPSTAIRS AND GO INTO THEIR SWEETS TO USE THE RESTROOM . UM AND IT'S WORKED, BUT I CAN'T. IT'S GETTING TO WHERE IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK ANYMORE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GETTING ANNOYED BY THAT, AND THAT'S ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SLIPPING AND FALLING WHEN THEY COME INTO INSIDE THE HOUSE. SO WHAT? I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO DO. IT'S NOT FUND THE ENTIRE PROJECT. JUST HELP ME WITH THE SEWER THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE PULLED IN THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUSE WHILE WE ARE WORKING ON THE BACK PATIO, SO IT'S KIND OF ALL IN ONE PROJECT WHERE WE'RE TAKING THE ADVANTAGE OF WORKING ON THE BACK PATIO AND UNCOVERING THAT HAVING MR FRAMER THERE TO HELP US AND, UM, HAVING THE. THE ABILITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND TO HAVE A BATHROOM. SO UM, WHAT YOU'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT. SO UM, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH DESCRIPTIONS THERE SO. DO YOU ANTICIPATE ANY CONCERNS FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING THAT WOULD FACE I WOULD IMAGINE AT LEAST ONE OTHER PROPERTY? YES SO WE ARE DOING ALL LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING. UM AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE STADIUM LIGHTING OR THOSE SPOTLIGHT THINGS AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE A MOTION ACTIVATED SO THEY WILL NOT BE ON ALL THE TIME AND THEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO JUST LIKE BASICALLY SHINE ON THE GROUND. THEY WON'T BE HIDING OUT. WE HAVE A STREETLIGHT THAT KIND OF HELPS WITH THAT, BUT THANK YOU HAVE FOUND THAT GUESTS. I FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH SOME MORE LIGHTING BACK THERE. SO ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? HAVE YOU, UM. DONE YOUR 2020 TO PROFIT AND LOSS. NO. YES DO YOU HAVE JUST LIKE A BALANCE SHEET LIKE A YEAR TODAY FROM 2020 TO DOING IT RIGHT NOW. THAT WAS THE WORD FROM THE ACCOUNTANTS. SO. EVERYTHING THAT I MAKE. GOES BACK INTO THIS HOUSE. WHICH IS TERRIFYING. UM AND IT'S ALSO WHY I DON'T HAVE STAFF. UM YOU KNOW, I HAVE ONE PERSON THAT HELPS ME IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES, BUT I BASICALLY RUN THIS ENTIRE BUSINESS BY MYSELF. AND SO YES, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT. AGAIN THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING OR THEIR ANYONE HERE TO PROVIDE ANY COMMENTS OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING IDOLS. I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO SEX WITH THE MOVEMENT MARY SECOND BY JOY. MOST IMPASSES PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LAST ITEM THAT WE HAVE ITEM, 23-1 OH, THREE, CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER
