ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN OUR, YOU KNOW, REALLY TREMENDOUS CITY, AND IT JUST GIVES ME A LOT OF PRIDE TO BE ABLE TO. BE A PART OF THIS, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU THAT ARE HERE TODAY FOR ALL OF YOUR GREAT WORK. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE EVENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN THERE SO MANY EVENTS THAT WILL BE HAPPENING AND I JUST WANTED TO SEND A NOTE OF APPRECIATION. I JUST HAVE TWO COMMENTS AND ONE ABOUT THE PARKS AND I WALK AROUND THE PART OF THE PARK. SOMETIMES THAT MY HUSBAND ALWAYS SAYS, WHY DO YOU WALK BACK THERE? THAT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE DANGEROUS BY YOURSELF, AND I'M LIKE IT'S FINE BECAUSE BIKINI IS THE SAFEST CITY, RIGHT . BUT EVEN THE PART PARTS WHERE I WALK OR CLEAN AND I ALWAYS FIND THAT AMAZING AND WALKING BEHIND AND UNDER BRIDGES AND I'M LIKE THIS IS CLEAN.

BEEN WAITING SIX YEARS FOR THIS, BUT I WENT TO HCB BECAUSE I HAD TO GET MY HUSBAND BETTER TORTILLAS BECAUSE AFTER I MEDICAL PROCEDURE COMING OUT OF ANESTHESIA, ALL HE KEPT TALKING ABOUT WAS BETTER TORTILLAS, WHICH LEADS ME TO THE FACT THAT I WENT TO HCB WENT TO THE SELF CHECKOUT AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO CHECK MYSELF OUT. IT WAS SO GREAT. THEY CHECKED ME OUT IN THE SELF CHECKOUT THAT'S HOW GREAT THEY ARE. AND I WAS LIKE I DON'T EVEN KNOW SO IT'S WONDERFUL. WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE. SO THAT'S ALL KILL ME. OKAY HDB LOVE FEST. UM I ALSO WENT TO A G B THIS WEEK LAST WEEK. UM ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE CITY OF MCKINNEY, APPARENTLY, UM , NO. I THINK EVERYBODY HAS SAID IT. I WAS THAT ALL OF THE THINGS YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT, AND SO VERY BUSY AND EXCITING FUN MONTH AND I THINK EVERYONE HAS COVERED IT. I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO VICE CHAIR. I WAS OUT LAST MONTH. SO THANK YOU FOR HOLDING IT DOWN FOR THE BOARD. UM APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT. NO OTHER COMMENTS. WE WILL GO CONTINUE WITH REPORTS CITY OF MCKINNEY MR GROUNDS. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR, MADAM PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS PAUL GRIMES CITY MANAGER. THANKS TO WELL FIRST I WANTED TO FOLLOW ON WITH CHANCES . COMMENTS ABOUT SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND SALES TAXES PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT. WE HAVE A BUDGET COMING UP. AND SO, UM, WE LOOK AT IN TERMS OF FORECASTING WHAT REVENUES ARE GOING TO BE I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IT WAS THAT THE GRAPHICS UP HERE SHOWED THE RELATIVE WHERE WE ARE RELATIVE TO OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES WITH RESPECT TO TYPE A AND TYPE B SALES TAXES. 65 MILLION, I THINK WAS THE COMBINED AMOUNT FOR MCKINNEY THAT IS NUMBER TWO IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. FRISCO IS NUMBER ONE. FRISCO COLLECTS BOTH TYPE A TYPE B AS DOES MCKINNEY. FRISCO IS BY FAR THE FIRST HIGHEST RANKED CITY IN TERMS OF SALES TAXES. THEY GENERATE AN AWFUL LOT OF SALES TAX REVENUE, BUT SO DO WE. ALLEN IS ACTUALLY I BELIEVE, NUMBER THREE BEHIND US. NOT ALL CITIES IN TEXAS DO BOTH. NOT ALL HAVE TYPE A OR B OR A AND B SOME HAVE ONE OF THE OTHER PLANO. AS YOU NOTED ON, THERE WAS ONLY 1% AND THEY WERE, I THINK, AT 80 SOME MILLION DOLLARS. IMAGINE WHAT THEY WOULD BE AT THE THEY HAD TYPE A TYPE B, THEY WOULD BE NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE. BUT PLANO PARTICIPATES IN DART THERE, ONE SENT BY CHOICE OR PLAIN OLD DEDICATES THEIR WANTS OTHER 1. SALES TAX TOWARDS ART BECAUSE

[00:20:01]

THEY GENERATE QUITE A BIT AS IT IS WITH JUST THEIR EXISTING 1. SO IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING TO KIND OF PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE . COLLIN COUNTY LEADS THE STATE WHEN IT COMES TO SALES TAX RECEIPTS. UM WHEN YOU ASKED ABOUT FROM AND WHAT FROM WHAT WE READ AND SOME OF THE ANALYSIS WE SEE ABOUT SOME OF THE SLOWDOWN IN SALES TAXES. SOME OF THAT IS FEDERAL RELATED FEDERAL MONEY THAT WAS PUT INTO THE SYSTEM PROBABLY GENERATED SOME OF THE INFLATION WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH, BUT SOME OF THAT FEDERAL MONEY IS NOW DRYING UP. THIS IS ALL POST COVID. THIS IS COVID RELIEF ACT FUNDS THAT WERE PUT OUT THERE WITH THE INTENT TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY WHEN YOU HAD TO SLOW DOWN OF COVID. THAT MONEY IS DRYING UP. SO NOW FOLKS ARE SAYING THERE THERE ARE REPERCUSSIONS TO THAT. OF COURSE YOU'RE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWDOWN LESS PURCHASING. YOU'RE ALSO SEEING SOME ISSUES WITH PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY THE RENT BECAUSE THAT MONEY HAS DRIED UP, SO WE'RE DEALING WITH SOME OF THOSE ISSUES. THIS IS NOT AN ADVOCACY FOR MORE MONEY AT ALL. IT'S JUST THAT IS JUST WHAT HAPPENS. AND YOU SEE THAT. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, INTEREST RATES ARE SLOWING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE INTENDED TO DO. I USED THE METAPHOR. I GOT A LOT OF LOOKS ON MY FACE. BUT I SAID, IF YOU KNOW HOW NUCLEAR REACTORS WORK, STICKING CONTROL RODS INTO THE NUCLEAR REACTOR IS EFFECTIVELY THE SAME THING AS RAISING INTEREST RATES. YOU'RE SLOWING THE REACTION, THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND THAT'S BY DESIGN.

UH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE MOST USEFUL TOOL THAT THE FED HAS TO TRY TO.

MODERATE THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY THAT LEADS TO INFLATION. WE'RE SEEING THAT INFLATION IS NOW DOWN TO AROUND. I RECENTLY READ THAT JUNE. INFLATION IS THE CORE INFLATION IS 3% AND THEN THE CPI INFLATION, I BELIEVE IS 4.5% WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE SEEING AT 9. AND IN THAT FACTORS INTO OUR BUDGET MAKING, HOW WOULD WE FACTOR IN INFLATION AND WHAT THAT MEANS? SO, SPEAKING OF BUDGET, WE WILL BE PRESENTING OUR BUDGET. SO THESE ARE THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. EVERYBODY'S OUT ON VACATION, WHATEVER. BUT WE ARE FINANCE FOLKS ARE STILL GRINDING AWAY AND THEY'RE PREPARING OUR BUDGET BUDGET PRESENTATION WILL BE RIGHT HERE IN THIS ROOM ON AUGUST 11TH THE MORNING OF AUGUST 11TH. OTHER NEWS. WE HAVE ENOUGH UPCOMING CITY COUNCIL MEETING NEXT WEEK, WE WILL BE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING OR CDBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN WE GET. THIS IS A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WE HAD 961,000 9 $9.09 $61,099 FROM FOR CDBG FUNDING AND SO WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON HOW THAT ACTION PLAN. WHAT THAT MONEY IS GOING TO BE ALLOCATED.

UM AND SO THAT WILL BE PRESENTED NEXT TUESDAY. WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER PROVISIONS ON THE REGULAR AGENDA RELATED FROM DPS, THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE SAFETY LOCATING A HANGER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO POLICE SIMULATOR GRANT FUNDED POLICE SIMULATOR, WHICH WE'RE ALL EXCITED FOR, UM AND THEN SETTING A PROPERTY TAX CEILING. WE HAVE TO DO THAT PROCEDURALLY THAT'S REQUIRED IS TO SET THE CEILING. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR RATE THAT IS THE CEILING THAT WE WON'T GO ANY HIGHER THAN THAT, IN THE BUDGET PRESENTATION WILL REVEAL IF YOU WILL. THAT'S THE BIG REVEAL. WE HAVE EVERY YEAR. WHAT THE ACTUAL EFFECTIVE PLUS THE TAX RATE, WHICH WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE RATE, PLUS A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE. AND THEN UM, AND THEN FINALLY, OUR FBO TERMINAL. MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT IS COMING SOON. OUR FINAL INSPECTIONS ARE SCHEDULED FOR EARLY AUGUST. SO WE EXPECT TO HAVE A SOFT OPENING IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST AND HOPEFULLY A RIBBON CUTTING IN EARLY SEPTEMBER SO MORE TO FOLLOW ON THAT IT'S LOOKING BEAUTIFUL. UM, IT'S REALLY AN ATTRACTIVE BUILDING THAT WILL SERVE OUR FBO OPERATIONS FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS, MR GRAHAM. ALRIGHT THANKS SO MUCH E ALRIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE VISIT MCKINNEY, ALICIA. GOOD MORNING, ALICIA HAMBURG VISIT MCKINNEY.

I'M FILLING IN FOR ERIN WARNER THIS MORNING. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO REPORT. WE'RE EXCITED TO SAY THAT OUR IN JUNE, OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY WAS AT A RECORD HIGH 80.4% WHICH IS NOT A NUMBER WE'VE OBVIOUSLY EVER SEEN BEFORE , SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND WITH THAT IT'S ALSO KEEPING OUR AVERAGE DAILY RATE STEADY, SO WE'RE NOT HAVING TO LOWER OUR RATES TO KEEP OUR HOTEL'S FULL. SO THAT'S A VERY EXCITING NOTE FOR US, AND YOU MENTIONED DC WE WERE ALL THERE AS WELL AS SOME MANY OF YOU THERE ON TUESDAY. IT WAS A FANTASTIC EVENT. OUR TEAM FILLED AND GAVE OVER 1200 BAGS TO THE STUDENTS AND THE JUDGES THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THAT. SO THAT WAS AN EXCITING THING FOR US, AND THEN THEY HAD THEIR STICKS EVENT ON MONDAY, THEY PIVOTED FROM TOUPS, TWO STICKS, AND WE HEARD IT DID VERY WELL.

[01:00:03]

HOUR, ACCORDING TO THE ESTIMATES , SO WE NOT ONLY USE THE MONEY THAT YOU GIVE US TOO, AND GRANTS TO BUY EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS AND FACILITATE ALL THIS WORK, BUT WE ALSO GET BACK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THOSE VOLUNTEERS EARNING $30 AN HOUR WHEN WE WORK THEM THREE HOURS ON SATURDAY MORNINGS.

SO THIS IS 200 ACRES. IT'S A REALLY SLICE OF HEAVEN ON A NATIONAL RECREATIONAL TRAIL WILSON CREEK THAT GOES RIGHT THROUGH THAT CUT, AND WE WOULD EXPECT TO CUT IT ALL THE WAY TO LAKE FOREST CONTINUE ALL THE WAY TO TOWN LAKE. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE GOAL. AND TO DO THAT WORK. WE NEED THIS. UH, THIS IS, UH WHAT WE NEED TO DO BECAUSE FROM OUR BARN WE'RE ON AND GRAY BRANCH WHERE WE STORE. THIS WILL STORE THIS EQUIPMENT. IT'S STILL A MILE AND A HALF TO THE FURTHEST POINT ON THAT. THAT NETWORK OF TRAILS SO WE NEED TO GET VOLUNTEERS AND EQUIPMENT AND IF THERE'S AN ENTRY OUT THERE, WE NEED TO GET THEM TO FIRST AID BECAUSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE OTHERS WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND US IN THE PARK.

[01:05:02]

HIM BEFORE. BUT THOSE IN OUR BOARD WHO HAVE BECAUSE WE DID YOU KNOW. TOSSED THAT IDEA AROUND. WHEN PEOPLE USE THESE. THEY'RE PRETTY ROUGH WITH THEM, SO WE USED ONE WHO WOULD HAVE HAD A LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR. SO YOU KNOW THEY USUALLY TRADE IN BECAUSE IT'S FALLING APART, AND THAT'S AND LANDMARK DOESN'T HAVE USED ONES THAT WE COULD CHECK INTO SOME OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES. WE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL PLACE FOR ANY SERVICING. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BUY IT. LOCAL SO IT MAY BE HELPFUL JUST TO DO SOME RESEARCH MAYBE PROVIDES INDIE JUST HEY, WE DID SOME RESEARCH.

23-0599 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERED DISCUSSED ACT ON A PROJECT GREEN APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ABOUT HERITAGE GUILD OF COLLIN COUNTY 23-11 IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 TO REPLACE THE CHIMNEY ON THE BEAR'S HOUSE TO THE REFLECTOR, REPLACE PORCHES, STAIRS AND RAMPS. ON SIX HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN THE CHEST . NEXT SQUARE AMOUNT REQUESTED REPRESENTS 57% OF TOTAL PROJECT COST IN JAMIE WILL BE PRESENTING TODAY. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR BOARD MEMBERS. JAMIE PEDIGO HERE. DID YOU KILLED COLLIN COUNTY? I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO GET A STOOL OUT HERE NOW. THANK YOU, LINDA. THIS IS ACTUALLY REQUEST FOR TWO PROJECTS. AND I'M GOING THE WRONG WAY. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, LINDA. THERE WE GO. Q PROJECTS. ONE IS A POOR TREE PLACEMENT. SO I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH CINDY SOME MONTHS AGO. WE HAVE SOME 15 PORCHES THAT DETERIORATE RAPIDLY IN OUR LOVELY TEXAS WEATHER AND I'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES SOON , BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO REPLACE THEM WITH COMPOSITE MATERIALS THAT WILL LAST 15 OR MORE YEARS , AND I ALSO HAVE SOME PICTURES OF SOME THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE. QUITE EXPENSIVE. WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE 5 TO $6000 PER PORCH. NOW THE ACTUAL QUOTES WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO $15,000 PER PORCH, BUT WE HAVE ALSO ASKED FOR MATCHING FUNDS FROM COLUMBUS REALTY AND I HAVE EVERY INDICATION THAT THOSE WILL BE COMING IN. SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT HAVING $50,000 FOR THIS PROJECT. SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO FUND IT? THE OTHER PROJECT WE ARE DOING IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE CHIMNEY THAT WAS LOST ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE FERRIS HOUSE AND THE PARIS HOUSE WAS MOVED FROM THE TENNESSEE AND HEALTH STREET LOCATION IN 1975. THE UH JAMES WATT, WHO IS OUR LOCAL PRESERVATION ARCHITECT. THIS HAS BEEN HIS DREAM AND AFTER 50 YEARS OF SERVING CHESTNUT SQUARE , I HOPE THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO HONOR HIS DREAM BY REPLACING THIS CHIMNEY. I'LL SHOW YOU UP PICTURE RIGHT THERE. I THINK MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN WHERE THE CHIMNEY WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED . YOU CAN SEE THAT FLOORING RIGHT THERE. TYPICAL DROP DOG TROT STYLE HOUSE HAS FACING FIREPLACES ON THE ENTRY 0.1 IN THE PARLOR ONE IN THE BEDROOM. AND SO IT WAS THIS BEDROOM FIREPLACE THAT WAS LOST WHEN THE HOME WAS MOVED. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THAT WE HAVE A BID FOR $37,750. THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE LOWER. IF WE CAN GET SOME BRICKS DONATED. WE ALREADY HAVE A PALLET COUPLE PALLETS OF BRICKS THAT WERE DONATED FROM THE DOLL BUILDING RESTORATION HOPE HARDWARE DOWNTOWN, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO REUSE THOSE BRICKS. OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO HAVE A MASON AND USE FIRE BRICKS INSIDE TO THAT AND MAKES THE COST A LITTLE HIGHER THAN JUST A FACADE. AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE PORCH. REPLACEMENT OF THESE ARE WOOD PORCHES. THE DELANEY BACK TOWARDS YOU ALL HAVE SAT ON IT MANY TIMES THE FAIREST SIDE PORCH THAT WAS

[01:10:03]

REPLACED IN 2020 AFTER THE CAR ACCIDENT, AND THE FAIR IS FRONT PORCH. THOSE ARE TRADITIONAL WOOD BOARD. THEY WERE REPLACED IN 2018. AND THEN HERE WE HAVE THE SCHOOLHOUSE. THAT WAS 20 YEARS OLD, AND THAT HAS COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY IT LOOKS AND THE WAY IT HOLDS THAT SO WE ARE LOOKING TO REPLACE OUR FERRETS, HOUSE CHAPEL AND DELANEY BACK PORCH AT THOSE ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST USED AND HIGHLY VISIBLE AND THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO SOME OF THE OTHER PORCHES AS FUNDS ALLOW AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? UM JAMIE IN THE SLIDE PACKET. UM IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A GRANT RECEIVED FOR THE CHIMNEY. IS THAT MONEY? FUNGIBLE CAN THAT MONEY BE SHIFTED? OR IS IT SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR THE CHIMNEY? SO WE HAVE $10,000 FROM THE SUMMERLEE FOUNDATION. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HAD TO ASK THEM THAT. UM MY GUESS IS THAT COULD BE PRETTY MUCH USE FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY HAD GIVEN US BLACK YEAR. SOME FUNDS AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN USE IT FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT. I HAD ASKED THEM, DO WE NOT? WE NOT GET THE REST OF THE FUNDING . WHAT DO WE DO? AND HE SAID, WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE COME TO IT, OKAY, BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY IT. SOUNDS LIKE THE CHIMNEY PROJECT IS NICE TO HAVE AND SORT OF A TRIBUTE PROJECT BUT NOT NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY. LIKE THE PORCHES ARE ABSOLUTELY THAT'S CORRECT. OK AND THEN JUST ANOTHER QUESTION.

YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT A REAL ESTATE FIRM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAS HAS THE UM HERITAGE GUILD EVER CONSIDERED LIKE AN ADOPTED HOUSE PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE, AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT AS COMPANIES GET MORE RESTRICTIVE IN WHAT THEY'RE GIVING GUIDELINES ARE OFTEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TO BE THINK ABOUT. RAYTHEON AND EMERSON AND, YOU KNOW, ENCORE. SOME OF THOSE THEY ARE VERY RESTRICTIVE TO LET'S SAY STEM EDUCATION AND SOME OF THOSE OTHER FUNDS, SO HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS NOT TYPICALLY ONE OF THE YOU KNOW, GIVING GUIDELINE POINT. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THANK YOU FOR NOT REQUESTING THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE PROJECT FROM US. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TELL APPLICANTS WE WANT TO SEE. AND WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE THAT. SO WHEN WE DO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT. THANK YOU. HOWEVER IT'S CONFUSING ME THE AMOUNT OF THE REQUEST VERSUS THE AMOUNT THAT THE OF THE PROJECT, SO AND THEN TWO PROJECTS IN ONE SO I JUST WANT TO BREAK DOWN. HOW MUCH YOU'RE ASKING OF US FOR EACH OF THESE TWO PROJECTS. IS ARE YOU REQUESTING $32,750 OF US? 25. 25 AND SO THE TOTAL COST OF THE CHIMNEY REPLACEMENT IS 32,000 CORRECT THAT YOU'RE ASKING 25 AND SO THEN 25 FOR THE PORCHES AS WELL, CORRECT. AND IT'S CONFUSING TO BECAUSE THE NUMBERS CHANGE EVERYTHING A EVERY TIME YOU GO BUY SOMETHING. YEAH THESE ARE THE ESTIMATES THAT YOU HAVE OR THE MOST RECENT, CORRECT THE REASON IT CHANGED BETWEEN THE TIME I BROUGHT MY APPLICATION, AND TODAY IS BECAUSE WE GOT SOME MORE REAL NUMBERS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU AND I'VE EXPRESSED IT TO SOME OF YOU BEFORE. GETTING A CONTRACTOR OUT THERE TO GIVE YOU A BIT OF A CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW.

WE'VE HAD. WE'VE BEEN HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS SINCE MARCH TO GET CONTRACTORS OUT TO GIVE US A BID ON THESE TRACKS, MATERIALS AND REPLACING THE PORCHES AND IT'S A CONFIDENT CHALLENGE WILL COME OUT. THEY'LL LOOK AND THEY'LL GO WHAT MAYBE AND THEN THEY SAY WHY I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IN OCTOBER OR, YOU KNOW WHATEVER IT IS. IT'S A YEAH. CONSTANT CHALLENGE. I THINK THAT ANSWERS. MY QUESTION . I WAS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BECAUSE AT FIRST IT WAS 57% WAS THE ASK OF THE TOTAL PROJECT, AND THEN IT WENT TO 46. BUT I THINK WE GOT YOU GOT MORE FIRM. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. IS THAT THE AMOUNT THAT THE PRICE WENT UP WHEN WE GOT AN ACTUAL BID? THANK YOU. JIMMY I NOTICED IT. THE CHIMNEY HAS BEEN GONE SINCE 1975 SO THE HOUSE WAS MOVED TO CHIMNEY WAS DESTROYED. SURE SURE HASN'T BEEN THERE SINCE 1975. SO IS IT NOW? JUST BECAUSE THE GUY WANTS TO SEE IT THERE WERE TRYING TO GIVE IT A TRIBUTE TO HIM. IT'S JUST SO I JUST DO THAT IN AS A AS AN ASIDE WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT. SO YOU KNOW, AS A AS A PRESERVATION ORGANIZATION, WE LOVE TO SHOW THE HOUSES AND THEIR TRUEST FORM. SO IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME DREAM. EVEN THE DIRECTOR BEFORE ME WANTED TO DO THAT, SO THEY GONNA BE WHAT'S IT

[01:15:02]

IF YOU DO GET IT? ARE YOU GUYS GONNA USE IT? OR IS IT JUST GONNA BE UNUSABLE FIREPLACE BUT WERE YOU GUYS USE IT? WELL FIRES BE DONE IN THAT WE DO COOKING IN THE KITCHEN ALL THE TIME IN THAT BUILDING. THAT WAS MY QUESTION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT YOUR CONDITION, BUT BUT, YEAH, IN THE WINTER, WE BELIEVE IT. YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH, THANK YOU. AND I THINK PART OF THE URGENT E IF I MIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BRICKS THAT ARE DONATED. SO NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS COLLECTION OF BRICKS. WE HAVE A USE FOR THEM, TOO. AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC, UH , PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. OTHER ISN'T ANYONE HERE WAS TO SPEAK TO THIS AGENDA ITEM. AND I GET EMOTIONS OPPOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. TELL. MOVED.

THE LIST GOES ON BROKEN WINDOWS STEPS FELLING FOUNDATION ROOF LINES. THEY COME TO US, AND THEN WE APPROACH THAT FAMILY TO SEE IF WE CAN A SYSTEM WITH THE EXTERIOR OF THEIR HOMES, SO THEY DO NOT RECEIVE CODE VIOLATIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO OVERBURDEN ARE LOW INCOME FAMILIES EVEN MORE BY HAVING THEM TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES OR RECEIVE A CITATION.

AND SO WE'VE ADDED THAT TO THIS, UM APPLICATION WITH THAT BEING SAID THESE WILL BE OWNER OCCUPIED. WE WILL ONLY ASSIST HOMES THAT ARE OWNER OCCUPIED.

WE'RE LOOKING AT HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES. WE HAVE JUST OVER 400 MOBILE HOMES HERE IN MCKINNEY THAT NUMBER I HAD NO IDEA WE HAD SO MANY. WE'VE GOT THREE MOBILE HOME PARKS JUST OVER. IT'S LIKE 425 27 MOBILE HOMES AND OVER 192 OF THOSE NEED EXTENSIVE REPAIRS. THAT IS A LOT . THIS. THESE ITEMS THAT I'VE LISTED HERE CAME FROM OUR HOUSING AND PROPERTY MAINTENANCE OFFICER. THE CITY HAS HIRED AN OFFICER THAT NOW GOES AND LOOKS OUT AT ALL OF THIS, AND HE HAS BEEN BUSY GOING THROUGH ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT MOBILE HOMES. SO THESE MOBILE HOMES HERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF PICTURES THAT I PULLED THAT HE HAS TAKEN ITS NO ACCESS TO GET UP THE PORCH WITHOUT THE

[01:20:03]

STEPS SPELLING THE PORCHES ARE FALLING IN. SO I MEAN, THESE PORCHES COULD FALL ANY DAY ON THESE APPLICANTS ON THESE HOUSEHOLDS. THE PORCH IT'S ROTTED WOOD. IT'S THE MIDDLE PICTURE IS THE EXTERIOR OF THE MOBILE HOME. SO WITH THAT, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE WATER LEAKING MOLD. THINGS LIKE THAT GOING INSIDE THE HOUSE. SO THE ROUTE THAT THE BENEFIT OF OUR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IS, IT IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS. IT PRESERVES PROPERTY VALUES. IT PROMOTES A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT HELPS KEEP THESE PROPERTIES FROM DETERIORATING TO WHERE THEY'RE SUBSTANDARD. AND THEY GET TAGGED IN THE NEW CAN NO LONGER LIVE IN THEM. BECAUSE THEN YOU'VE GOT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THE HOMES HAVING TO TRY TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS AFFORDABLE, SO WE NEED TO HELP PRESERVE THEM AND KEEP THEM IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THEY CURRENTLY HAVE. THIS APPLICATION . GREAT REQUEST IS FOR $200,000 . WE PREVIOUSLY THE ONE WE JUST WRAPPED UP. WE JUST DID OUR LAST PROJECT THIS WEEK, SO THE FINAL REPORT WILL BE AT THE NEXT MONTH. UM WE IT WAS FOR 160,000 TO HELP EIGHT HOUSEHOLDS. WE ACTUALLY HELPED 10. WE DO LISTED HERE THIS THAT THAT IT'S 100% OF THE FUNDING. BUT I WILL TELL YOU WE SAY THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HELP THIS MANY PEOPLE, BUT WE ACTUALLY LEVERAGE THAT FUNDING AND IT'LL BE IN THE FINAL REPORT THAT ONLY THREE OF THESE PROJECTS WERE ACTUALLY STRAIGHT PMP AND WE LEVERAGE WITH CDBG FUNDING AS WELL. SO IT'S NOT TRULY 100% OF THE PROJECT, BUT THE MOBILE HOMES WILL BE BECAUSE WE CANNOT USE CDBG FUNDING ON THAT. SO THE 10,000. WE'RE LOOKING AT LEAST ONE IN 10,000 TOWARDS PER MOBILE HOME SO THAT 10,000 AND FUNDING WILL NOT BE LEVERAGED AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER JOB. I GOT THROUGH IT ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THEIR PRESENTATION. I DROVE BY, UM THE COMPLEX AND TENNESSEE THIS MORNING JUST TO GET A LOOK. AND I SUFFER MYSELF THE DISREPAIR. UM I'M CURIOUS. YOU SAID THAT CDBG GRANTS CANNOT BE USED FOR MOBILE HOMES. BUT ARE THERE OTHER SOURCES OF FEDERAL FUNDING THAT COULD BE NO. OUR HOME FUNDINGS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE USED FOR ANYTHING WE CAN REPLACE, LIKE WE COULD PULL OUT THEIR HOME AND REPLACE IT WITH FEDERAL FUNDING. BUT WE CANNOT REPAIR IT. OKAY BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT VALUE. I MEAN, SOME SO EIGHT HOMES ARE GOING TO BE FUNDED UP TO $20,000 EACH AND FOUR HOMES UP TO 10,000 . BUT WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THESE SINGLE TRAILERS? RIGHT NOW? THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. I HAVE DEFINITELY NOT LOOKING THE VALUE AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE STARTING WITH A LOWER AMOUNT OF ASSISTING. WE'RE ONLY PUTTING UP TO $10,000 INTO THE HOUSE INTO THE MOBILE HOMES. 10,000 EACH FOR FOUR, BUT THERE'S 20,000 EACH FOR EIGHT FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. YES. OKAY? AND HOW ARE YOU PRIORITIZING WHICH UNITS BECAUSE I MEAN, JUST TAKE THE ONE ON TENNESSEE 52 UNITS TOTALED AND 28 NEEDS SOME TYPE OF REPAIR, BUT ACTUALLY LESS THAN THAT IS GOING TO BE PART OF THIS PROGRAM. SO HOW ARE YOU DECIDING HOUSING AND PROPERTY MAINTENANCE OFFICER. HE'S PRIORITIZING BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE THAT'S BEEN ON THE SITE TO LOOK AT THEM, AND HE IS CHOOSING ONE DEVELOPMENT TO WORK ON FIRST ONE AREA. I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE IT WAS. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONE RIGHT HERE ON TENNESSEE. BUT WHICHEVER ONES ARE THE MOST DISREPAIR ARE THE ONES THAT WERE LOOKING AT FIRST, OKAY? THIS MEAT. THIS MAY NOT BE A QUESTION YOU CAN ANSWER. BUT AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS AND THE 192 MOBILE HOMES THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COVER FOUR I'M ALMOST SAYING THIS FOR YOU ABOUT HOW FRUSTRATING IT MUST BE. TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO TACKLE FOUR OF 192. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS THINKING WHEN JOY WAS ASKING IS WHAT OTHER SOURCES. POSSIBLY BE LOOKED AT. SHOULD TRY TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING AHEAD BECAUSE THE NEXT YEAR THERE'S FOUR MORE AND THEN YOU MAY ADD. FOR MORE TO THE LIST BECAUSE THE ONES THAT ARE THERE DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THERE AND YOU KNOW, GREAT CONDITION IT JUST MAYBE THEY HAVEN'T REACHED THE LEVEL OF REPAIR YET AND SO THERE'S NOT A QUESTION IN THIS. IT'S JUST A STATEMENT OF I FEEL FRUSTRATED FOR THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW THAT THAT WE'RE IN A POSITION WHERE WE JUST IT'S GOING TO BE AN ONGOING CYCLE.

AND I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW AGAIN. NOT A QUESTION. JUST FRUSTRATING. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT POINT, AND IT COULD BE THAT WHEN WE GET IN THERE, AND WE'VE SAID FOR THIS FUNDING COULD SWITCH A LITTLE BIT. WE COULD SEE THERE IS A GREATER NEED FOR THE MOBILE HOMES ARE SINGLE FAMILIES. MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE A WAIT LIST FOR THEM YET. MAYBE WE START DOING MORE TOWARDS THE MOBILE HOMES OF 10 AGAIN THAT THE MAX OF THE 10 PER HOUSEHOLD IF WE SEE THAT IT'S NOT BEING UTILIZED, SO TO HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY OF SWITCHING THE FUNDS FROM ONE OF THE OTHER MAYBE SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING AT, FOR SURE. SO FOR THIS HOUSING REPAIR. PROGRAM YOU HAVE OUR FUNDING. YOU HAVE CDBG FUNDING IS THAT THE EXTENT OF THE FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE

[01:25:02]

HOUSING REPAIR? YES. PROGRAM, OKAY? SO. BEHIND YOU, UM IN A COUPLE OF PRESENTATIONS, HABITAT IS GOING TO BE COMING TO ASK FOR $400,000 FOR THERE. HOUSING REPAIR PROGRAM. WE'VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE. WHERE YOU GUYS ARE PRESENTING ON YOURS AND HABITAT IS PRESENTING ON THEIRS, AND I'VE SAID TO HABITAT AND TO YOU GUYS IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO COMBINE THESE PROGRAMS TO HAVE SYNERGIES TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE ONE PROGRAM THAT'S OPERATING FOR THE CITY TO FUNNEL OUR MONEY INTO ONE SPOT. WE'RE STILL IN THE SAME PLACE. I THINK THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE ASKED, CAN WE CONVENE AND TALK AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO LEVERAGE. SYNERGIES HAVE WE MOVED IN THAT DIRECTION AT ALL? CAN WE FIND A WAY TO COMBINE THESE THINGS OR TO WORK TOGETHER SO THAT WE'RE NOT FRACTURING OUR FUNDING BETWEEN THESE TWO REQUESTS. WE DEFINITELY HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS AND WE DO WORK TOGETHER VERY WELL. SOMETIMES THERE'S PROJECTS THAT WE CAN'T ASSIST WE REFER TO THEM AND VICE VERSA. I WOULD SAY THAT YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. IF WE WERE ALL JUST SITTING ON OUR MONEY, BUT THERE'S SUCH A GREAT NEED OUT THERE AND BOTH OF US ARE USING THE FUNDING. THE FUNDING IS BEING UTILIZED, WHETHER IT'S A LARGER CHUNK THAT YOU GIVE TO US BOTH THAT WE'RE SHARING. OR IF WE'RE KIND OF RUNNING, YOU KNOW, NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND WORKING TOGETHER, BUT WE DO HAVE DIFFERENT POTS OF FUNDING. YOU ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS AND DIFFERENT WAY YOU I SUSPECT THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT GRANTS THAT YOU CAN FUND BECAUSE OF YOUR CDBG FUNDING. THEY. YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE RESTRICTIONS ON UM AND SO THAT THAT MIGHT BE ONE REASON TO LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE, BUT, UM WITH DIFFERENT WITH DIFFERENT STANDARDS AND DIFFERENT WAYS OF GOING ABOUT IT DIFFERENT. UM YOU KNOW, COSTS AND WAYS THAT YOU HIRE CONTRACTORS. ONE MIGHT BE CHEAPER. ONE MIGHT BE BETTER THAN THE OTHER. UM I WOULD THINK THAT THAT WE WOULD LIKELY BE ABLE TO DO MORE OF THESE PROJECTS AND LEVERAGE OUR FUNDING BETTER IF WE WERE COORDINATING AND WORKING TOGETHER TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE EFFICIENCIES AND. SKILLS AND TALENTS OF ALL THE FOLKS INVOLVED IN DOING THIS, SO UM I'M JUST I'M JUST WONDERING WHY WE HAVEN'T MOVED FORWARD ON THAT IN ANY WAY SO, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, DAVID. AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS PUBLIC AGENDA ITEM? WHEN YOU COME TO THE RIGHT THANK YOU.

I JUST WANT TO SAY WORKING WITH CRYSTAL FOR REALLY 15 YEARS IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPECTRUM . YOU'RE MCKINNEY AND WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THEIR PROGRAM AND THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THEM, AND I DO APPRECIATE WHAT HE SAID. MR KELLY. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE DOING BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT FURTHER. I THINK WE BOTH AGREE BECAUSE OUR EFFORTS ARE THE SAME MINISTER. SAME OF THIS BOARD IS TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TO NOT JUST BE INDEED ON REPAIRS , AND WE'RE THAT'S THE CRY OF OUR HEARTS. AND MY DIRECTOR CELESTE IS ALWAYS LIKE WE WANT TO DO MORE, AND HOW CAN WE DO MORE? SO THAT'S ONE THING JUST TO BE CLEAR? I COMPLETELY SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS. I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM AND WHAT HABITAT DOES I WANTED. I WANT TO SEE US JUST. WORKING TOGETHER AND LEVERAGING AND EFFICIENT AS AS POSSIBLE SO COMPLETELY SUPPORT, UM, REPAIRING THESE HOMES. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, AS A HISTORIC DISTRICT RESIDENT, IT HELPS ALL OF US MANY OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT YOU LOOK AT OUR, UM ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN, AND SO. I APPRECIATE IT, AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD DO, AND IT'S A PRIORITY FOR THIS BOARD. I JUST WANT TO SEE IT WORK TOGETHER. GO AHEAD. UM, IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIR ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WE STARTED HOSTING ON AT LEAST A QUARTERLY BASIS AND UNTENABLE HOUSING TASK FORCE THAT INCLUDES THE CITY PARTNERS CRYSTAL JOHNNY CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE HABITAT AND ALL OF THE OTHERS THAT ARE ACTIVE IN THAT ARENA. SO I THINK THAT THERE IS GREAT COMMUNICATION AMONG THE GROUPS AND A GREAT COMMITMENT TO LEVERAGING RESOURCES SO THAT WE CAN COVER THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF FUNDS GROUND WITH THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FROM THIS BOARD. CATHERINE MCGILL SERVES ON THAT ON THAT TASK FORCE, AND IT INCLUDES THE CHAMBER HABITAT ONE HEART MCKINNEY THERE ABOUT 25

[01:30:05]

PEOPLE THAT THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN THAT, SO I THINK THE COMMUNICATION THAT YOU'RE, UM THE COMMUNICATION AND THE LEVERAGE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS PROGRESSING. THANK YOU.

JUST TO CLARIFY THEN SO IF THIS WERE FULLY FUNDED FOR THE 12 HOMES, THEY WOULD BE IN ONE OF THE THREE NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY WOULDN'T BE DISSIPATED THROUGHOUT THE THREE CORRECT OKAY. AND, UM, DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY, THEN THAT BECAUSE THE FEDERAL FUNDING CANNOT BE USED FOR REPAIR, THAT YOU WOULD PURSUE IT IF IT COULD BE USED FOR REPLACEMENT, OR YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT FEDERAL FUNDING CAN BE USED TO REPLACE MOBILE HOMES UNDER CERTAIN USED TO REPLACE, BUT NOT TO REPAIR. OKAY SO HAS THAT BEEN PURSUED AT ALL YET? NO OKAY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ENCOURAGE SOME EXPLORATION OF WHAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT. THANK YOU. NO YES, IT IS.

UNFORTUNATELY A PUBLIC HEARING. YES IT IS. AND I'M SPEAKING. NO THAT WAS MY POINT. UM, MISS BOOTH IS THE FACT OF AGAIN I PLEDGE YOU GUYS FOR, UM, THE FUNDS ARE DOING TO HELP IN THIS AVENUE AND I THINK IT'S WORTH IT'S WORTH THINK MY QUESTION TO THAT IS THE REPAIRS THAT YOU DO . HOW MUCH IS THAT REALLY, ACTUALLY LONG LONGEVITY OF THAT BUILDING VERSUS JUST A BAND AID THAT THEN CAUSES MORE AND MORE AND MORE VERSUS IF YOU COULD FUND MORE AND THEN ALSO LOOK FOR DIFFERENT FUNDING SEXUALLY REPLACE A MODULAR HOME. UM FOR A LONG FOR THE LONG TERM BECAUSE AGAIN AS YOUR REPORT SAYS, 71% OF THEM OVER 20 YEARS OLD, SO NEXT YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE 105 106 100 AS I CONTINUE TO GROW VERSUS IF YOU COULD JUST REPLACE THEM WITH FUNDING. MIGHT BE MORE OF A LONG TERM PLAY. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY. JOY. 2ND 2ND BY MAYOR. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. NEXT

Amount Represents 100% of the Project Total Cost.]

ITEM 23-0601 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER DISCUSSED ACT ON A PROJECT GRANT APPLICATION TWO AND 3-13 SUBMITTED BY THE COTTON MEAL IN THE AMOUNT OF 135,580. FOR THE NEW NEON SIGNAGE ON THE SMOKESTACK OF THE COTTON MEAL ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 16 ELM STREET. MCKINNEY, TEXAS AMOUNT AMOUNT REPRESENTS 100% OF THE PROJECT. TOTAL COST. UH CHANDLER KCS PRISON PRESENTING TODAY. HELLO CITY COUNCIL. I'M CHANDLER. CASEY M C D. C SORRY.

SORRY YEAH. APOLOGIES APOLOGIES . YES I REPRESENT THE COTTON MILK DOWN THE STREET AT 6 10 ELM STREET. AND AS YOU SAID, WE'RE PROPOSING A NEW SIGN TO BE BUILT ON OUR SMOKESTACK. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE FRONT COSTS OR THE INITIAL COST IS ABOUT 64,000 FOR DOING THE FRONT SIDE. THE LETTERING WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 4 FT. EACH AND IT WILL TOTAL THE SMOKESTACK HEIGHT AT 64 FT. FROM THE GROUND, THOUGH, THAT WILL BE , UH, 94 FT. TALL FROM FROM THE BASE OF THE GROUND THERE, IT WILL HAVE THE RBG LIGHTING, WHICH ALLOWS US TO CHANGE THE COLORS AND HAVE IT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE FESTIVE. WE CAN HAVE HOLIDAYS COLORS HALLOWEEN ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF TO MAKE IT MORE ENTICING, MORE EXCITING FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND AND THE PEOPLE COMING THROUGH THE CITY. JUST TO GET INTO THE SPECS OF IT. THESE ARE THE LETTERING WITH THE COTTON MILL LOGO AT THE TOP THERE. UM, AND THIS IS ALL PUT TOGETHER BY JOE MELL ASSIGNS WHO YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH WITH THE FLOUR MILL AND THEN THE HISTORIC MCKINNEY TOWN, SIGN OUT FRONT. ORIGINALLY WHEN WE WERE FIRST TALKING, WE WANTED TO OBVIOUSLY INCORPORATE THE MCKINNEY TOWN AND MCKINNEY CITY.

UH, LOGO AND NAME INTO THIS DESIGN, BUILD AT SOME POINT. AND AT FIRST WE JUST WE WANTED TO HAVE IT BE ON OUR WATER TOWER, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 75 YARDS AWAY FROM THIS.

UNFORTUNATELY THE COST OF THAT GOT WELL INTO THE SIX FIGURES, AND WE JUST THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE. UM AT THIS TIME , SO WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO TO KIND OF MEET IN THE MIDDLE WAS, UM JOE MELLOW. THERE WE GO. UH, HOW DOES COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF PUTTING MCKINNEY, TEXAS ALONG THE BACKSIDE? OF THE SMOKESTACK THERE. AND IN THIS RENDERING, I KNOW IT'S KIND OF FAR PITCHED

[01:35:06]

OUT. BUT UH, WITH WHAT WE HOPE TO DO WITH THE COTTON MILL. WE THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT VISION FOR NOT ONLY THE PATRONS THAT COME TO VISIT THE DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE LEAVING THE AIRPORT LOCATED APPROXIMATELY A MILE AND A HALF, TWO MILES AWAY FROM US. UM HAVING IT SAY ON THE BACK MCKINNEY, TEXAS WE FEEL IT WOULD BE A GREAT LOGO AND A GREAT ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY AS JUST KIND OF A LANDMARK THAT CAN BE RECOGNIZED NOT ONLY FROM THE AIRPORT BUT ALSO FROM UH, SAM RAYBURN TOLLWAY GOING INTO THE CITY. SO WITH THAT BOTH BOTH SIDES WOULD BE ABOUT 128,000. UM SO IT GOT REFINED DOWN FROM THAT ORIGINAL 135 ASKING PRICE. AND THEN I WILL POSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. SO THE ACTUAL COST IS 1 28. YES, MA'AM 1 28. WAS THAT 1 28 EVEN 1 28 0, A. HAVE QUESTIONS. UM SO I POSED THE SAME QUESTION WHEN THE FLOUR MILL CAME TO US FOR SIGNAGE, SO I'LL ASK IT OF YOU DO YOUR TENANTS BECAUSE YOU YOU HAVE, UM MILHOUSE AND SOME OTHERS AREA.

DO YOUR TENANTS PAY ANY COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE OR CAMP FEES? WE DO HAVE AN 11% COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE FEET TAPPED IN. BUT AS FAR AS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND TRIPLE NETS IS, IS THAT GOES, WE DON'T CHARGE ANY TRIPLE MATS BACK TO OUR TENANTS. AND WHAT IS THE I MEAN? IT'S AESTHETICALLY THAT'S PLEASING TO HAVE THE SIGN ON THE ON THE TOWER THERE, BUT IN CONTRAST TO WHAT THE FLOUR MILL DID THEIRS WAS $95,000 FOR LIKE THE SIGN THAT POPPED UP FROM THE ROOF. IS THAT AN OPTION THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER OR WE COMMITTED TO? THE TOWER CONSIDERED THE ROOF SIGN.

UM WE JUST THOUGHT AS FAR AS THE OVERALL LOOK GOES WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE, UM OUT OF SIGHT, AND WE THOUGHT FOR THE LONG TERM PLAN HAVING IT ON THAT VERTICAL SMOKESTACK THAT GOES UP JUST UNDER 100. FT WOULD BE MORE OF A VIEWPOINT TO WHERE IT COULD BE SEEN BETTER BY NOT JUST THE PEOPLE IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA OF THE CARDINAL , BUT PEOPLE ALL AROUND COMING IN THROUGH VARIOUS ENTRIES AND EXITS TO THE CITY. OKAY. AND SO OVER THE SINGLE SIDE IT'S ABOUT 64,000 TO SAY COTTON MILL. IT'S ANOTHER 64,000 TO SAY MCKINNEY.

YES, MA'AM. SIGNAGE IS THIS COULD BE SIMILAR TO WHAT THE FLOUR MILL SCIENCE LOOKED LIKE.

AS FAR AS COLOR WAS GOOD. COULD YOU SAY THIS IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET CHANGED? I'M JUST WONDERING WOULD BE CHEAPER IF YOU JUST DID JUST A SINGLE NEON WHERE YOU'RE NOT CHANGING THE COLORS TO WHERE IT'S GONNA MATCH. WHAT'S ON THE PARKING GARAGE AND WHAT UM, I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT WOULD BE CHEAPER WITHOUT THE WITH THE LIGHTS AND HAVE TO CONFIRM OBVIOUSLY, WITH JOE MELLOW ON ON THE COST WISE, WE JUST THOUGHT THAT THE COLOR CHANGING WOULD ADD KIND OF A COOL FLARE AS IT MAY BE TO IT TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING BECAUSE THE BOARD WOULD JUST CAMPAIGN WOULD LIKE EVERYTHING TO LOOK. KIND OF THE SAME. SO JUST THAT WOULD JUST BE A QUESTION. I WOULD ASK US TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH CHEAPER WOULD BE IF IT WAS JUST STRAIGHT ONE NEON COLORED TO MATCH EVERYBODY ELSE IS ABSOLUTELY I WOULD JUST SAY I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE COLOR CHANGE, BUT THAT'S JUST ME. I THINK IT'S KIND OF CREATIVE AND I UNDERSTAND THE UNIQUE LOOK BUT EACH AREA IS ALSO YOUR UNIQUE. SO HAVING JUST ONE KIND OF UNIFORM LOOK. I MEAN, LOOKING INTO IT IS FINE. BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I LIKE THAT IDEA. BUT IT'S DIFFERENT. THANK YOU. THE ADDITIONAL QUESTION. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WANTS WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS AGENDA ITEM? I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED BY DEBORAH 2ND 2ND BY MAYOR.

YEAH, I'M SORRY, BUT YES, I'M SORRY. I DON'T I LOST THE OPTION HERE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU.

[01:40:04]

CLIMATE CONTROL DOWNTOWN TROLLEY FOR THE DASH PROGRAM AMOUNT REQUESTED REPRESENTS 50% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT POLICY. ANDREW. I WILL BE PRESENTING. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR IN CDC BOARD. ANDREW JONES DIRECTOR CULTURAL DISTRICT. UM JUST GO RIGHT INTO IT. JUST A QUICK BACKGROUND OF OUR CURRENT DASH PROGRAM. UM YOU KNOW, EVER SINCE COVID. WE'VE HAD A CHANGE IN RIDERSHIP OF HOURS DURING COVID. WE TRANSITION. WE UTILIZE IT AS MUCH AS WE COULD. PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE TO SIT INSIDE REALLY CLOSE TOGETHER FOR SOME REASON DURING THAT PERIOD. UM YOU KNOW, SINCE THEN WE'VE KIND OF SUFFERED A LITTLE BIT OF, YOU KNOW, DOWNTIME WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF , REPLACING BATTERIES, MAINTENANCE AND WHERE UM RIGHT NOW WE HAVE YOU KNOW, THERE'S CERTAIN TRADE OFFS HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE SERVICE. THERE IS NOT A FIXED ROUTE. IT'S ON CALL . WE HAVE LIMITED A C AND HEAT RIGHT NOW. WE DO NOT HAVE THE DASH RUNNING RIGHT NOW. IT IS MUNICIPAL VEHICLE VAN THAT'S KIND OF CURRENTLY OPERATING AS THE DASH VEHICLE. UM. ULTIMATELY ONCE WE GET THE DASH BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP WE DO PLAN ON UTILIZING THIS FOR SUPPORTING OUR SECURITY IN THE EVENINGS IN DOWNTOWN, SO THERE WILL BE A SECOND LIFE TO THAT REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIGHLIGHT THEIR, UM, REAL BRIEFLY, YOU KNOW? GO BACK TO 19 08. YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN A TROLLEY THAT GOES THROUGH DOWNTOWN. AN ELECTRIC TROLLEY, UM, PART OF THE INNER URBAN THAT WENT ALL THE WAY FROM DENNISON TO WACO ACTUALLY, AND ITS HEIGHT FOR FOUR DECADES. YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY THE CONNECTION TO THE REGION. UM UH AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS PAY HOMAGE TO THIS AND INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE DASH PROGRAM. THIS IS A PICTURE OF IN 19 08. THE DATE GOT CUT OFF HERE , BUT THIS IS DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY HERE ON THE LEFT THE STOCKHOLDERS. IF YOU EVER GO TO IMPACT I HAVE THE ACTUAL PRINT. IT'S UP IN THE HALL OF THIS. UM THERE'S A PRETTY INTERESTING TO SEE THE HISTORY HERE OF TROLLEYS AND DOWNTOWN. SO SOME OF THE NEW TROLLEY FEATURES INCREASED RIDERSHIP. SO CURRENTLY YOU KNOW, IT'S A SIX SEATER, THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, UM, TYPICALLY, WE'RE GONNA MAX OUT AROUND FOUR OR FIVE RIGHT NOW, UM, WHICH IS REALLY LIMITING. WE HAVE PARTIES THAT WE SAY NO TO BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY CAN RIDE IN THE DASH. UM OUR CURRENT VEHICLE IS NOT REALLY CLIMATE CONTROLLED. IT DOES HAVE SOME FUNCTIONALITY, BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE PASSENGER CAB. UM YOU KNOW THE NEW TROLLEY PROPOSAL, THE NEW PROPOSED TROLLEY HAS WOODEN INTERIOR ALLOWS FASTER SPEEDS THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS. I DROVE THE DASH WANTS TO MISTY STADIUM. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT WE UTILIZE THAT FOR YOU KNOW THE VACCINE. UM SO WE AND WE SHARE IT. WE UTILIZE IT FOR LOTS OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THE NEW, UH PROPOSED TROLLEY WOULD BE THAT IT CAN'T HANDLE A D A ACCESS SO IT CAN HANDLE, UM LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS, AND I TALKED ABOUT IT BEING RIGHT SIZE, SO YOU KNOW IT'S THE RIGHT SIZE FOR DOWNTOWN TO TURN AROUND, BUT IT'S ALSO THE RIGHT SIZE TO HAVE A NON CDL DRIVER, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY. AND WE NEED A NON CDL, UH, VEHICLE WITHIN THE CITY TO USE FOR SMALLER TYPE OF THINGS. SO I TALKED WITH ERIN FROM VISIT MCKINNEY UTILIZING THIS FOR LOTS OF DIFFERENT SPECIAL EVENTS, AND THEN UH, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT INCREASING RELIABILITY AND THE ABILITY FOR THE CITY TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE, UM, BEING ELECTRIC AND NOT HAVING TO GO TO SHOP. EVERY TIME IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IS IT IS ANOTHER KEY THING. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO HIGHLIGHT THE HISTORY OF THE INNER URBAN IN THE DESIGN OF THE TROLLEY ITSELF, SO BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE ALL THIS, UM YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME THE PARK'S TROLLEY COMES DOWNTOWN FOR A SPECIAL EVENT, EVERYBODY JUST WANTS TO WRITE IT. WE WANT THE DASH TO NOT JUST BE A VEHICLE TO GET PEOPLE AROUND FROM PARKING, BUT TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS FUN AND ENTERTAINING. SO THAT RIDERSHIP YOU KNOW IT GETS PEOPLE AROUND, AND I THINK IT CAN REALLY INCREASE RIDERSHIP AS WELL. THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING PAINT SCHEME HANDRAILS. ALL THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICING AS WELL. SO ANYTHING THAT'S ADDITIONAL, LIKE INTERIOR SIGNAGE AND STUFF. MAIN STREET WILL BEAR THE COSTS OF ANY FUTURE. UM THIS IS THE FROM THE INNER URBAN MUSEUM IN PLANO JUST GOING TO KIND OF GIVE, AND THIS IS ALSO THE INNER URBAN STATION THAT WAS IN MCKINNEY. AH I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MCKINNEY SPECIALIST ON THERE. UM SO REAL QUICKLY SOME SUCCESSFUL TROLLEY CASE STUDIES AROUND THE COUNTRY, YOU KNOW FOR US, EUREKA SPRINGS IS THE SAME TROLLEY THAT WE WOULD

[01:45:04]

BE LOOKING AT THE ONE THE GREEN ONE IN THE SNOW. I DOUBT WE'LL SEE THAT MUCH SNOW USE UM, AGAIN , TALKING ABOUT IT BEING MORE THAN JUST A VEHICLE FOR GETTING PEOPLE AROUND. IT'S ALSO ENTERTAINMENT FEATURE. AND THEN HOW WE CAN INCREASE THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE EAST AND DOWNTOWN. AS WELL AS PARKING AND HAVING A FIXED RATE. SO THIS IS OUR TOTAL. ASK THIS. THROUGH THE HOT TAX. WE DO HAVE A CONTRIBUTION OF 100,000 MCKINNEY MAIN STREET WILL BE COVERING ALL THE OPERATING, UH, LIKE WE CURRENTLY DO FOR THE DASH, BUT WE ALSO ANTICIPATE INCREASED OPERATING EXPENSES SINCE WE WANT TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF HOURS THAT THE VEHICLES IS OPERATING AS WELL. STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS A VERY EXCITING PROSPECT, AND I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU. SO I UNDERSTAND THE AESTHETIC IS MEANT TO LOOK LIKE THE OLDEN DAYS. BUT I WAS CURIOUS IF YOU HAD CONSIDERED THE PROSPECT OF SELLING AD SPACE OR EVEN USING BULLETINS ON THE TROLLEY TO PROMOTE CITY EVENTS, ARTS AND BLOOM OR ANYTHING THAT SAY WE FUND WE ARE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT A LOT OF SPONSORSHIP, BUT MOST OF THAT WOULD BE ON THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, NOT NECESSARILY ON THE OUTSIDE. WE WERE KIND OF COMMITTED TO REALLY RE PAINTING THE EXTERIOR SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE INTER URBAN AS WELL AS ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS LIKE THE HANDRAILS AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT TO A AND THEN YOU SAID THAT THE CITY WOULD MAINTAIN IT AS PART OF ITS FLEET. YES BUT IN TERMS OF THE COST FOR THE GAS AND THE MAINTENANCE IS THE CITY ABSORBING MAIN STREET. WILL STREET IS PAYING FOR THAT? CURRENTLY WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE DASHES? IF IT NEEDS REPAIR, WE GO TO THE CITY FACILITIES. PARKS AND REC AND OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS HELP A LOT WITH THE DASH. IF THEY CAN'T REPAIR IT, WHICH OFTEN THEY CAN'T BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SPECIALIZED VEHICLES, NOT SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE NORMAL CITY FLEET. THEN WE HAVE TO GO OUT. AND FOR OUR LAST ROUND IT SAT IN THE REPAIR . THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE DFW AREA THAT HAS THE ABILITY OF TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. AND THEY COULDN'T GET TO IT. THEY COULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT FOR FOUR WEEKS, AND I WAS LITERALLY CALLING EVERY WEEK AND THEN, UM , YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY WE TOOK IT BACK, AND WE WE'VE YOU KNOW, WE TRIED TO, UM, FIX IT OURSELVES LIKE WE LOOKING LOOKED AT THAT, SO IT'S BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING PROCESS TO MAINTAIN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE. BUT SEGUE TO MY NEXT QUESTION. HOW EASIER CHALLENGING WILL IT BE TO MAINTAIN A TROLLEY? I CAN'T IMAGINE THERE'S THAT MANY TROLLEY REPAIR. YEAH, SO THE CHASSIS AND THE ACTUAL ENGINE IS A G N. I BELIEVE IT'S A. IT'S A FORD AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE OTHER FLEET VEHICLES. SO THIS IS ESSENTIALLY JUST A BUS WITH TROLLEY EXTERIOR PART, RIGHT, UM INTERNALLY. IT'S ALL JUST LIKE BASICALLY SO ONE QUESTION I DO HAVE THIS IS PRIMARILY GOING TO BE USED, YOU KNOW, FOR TRANSPORT AND THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN WHAT WE HAVE IN DOWNTOWN AND AREA. THE OTHER.

DOES IT GO OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC? YES GO OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC. SO THE DASH CURRENTLY , UM, DOESN'T IT CAN'T JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE CAPABILITIES FOR THE NEW TROLLEY. WE DO HAVE THAT ABILITY. SO LIKE WHEN WE HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT, LET'S SAY THAT WE HAD SOMETHING AT THE SHERATON HOTEL. THEY CAN GET PEOPLE NOW. GO BACK AND FORTH, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT RIGHT NOW, WITH THE OLD WITH PARKS, TROLLEY, THAT, AS YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY SEEN ITS AGE. WE CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT GETTING A CDL DRIVER. AND SO THERE'S THOSE MIDDLE KIND OF EVENTS THAT WE ONLY NEED, LIKE 10 OR 12 14 PEOPLE. THERE'S NOT A REALLY GOOD VEHICLE WITHIN THE CITY TO HOST PEOPLE. SHOW THEM OFF. BRING THEM AROUND. SO YEAH, THE USEFUL LIFE IS THIS A NEW? THIS WOULD BE A NEW ONE. AND THERE'S TWO CONSIDERATIONS WE TRIED LOOKING FOR USED ONES. WE FOUND ONE WE ARE ALL SET TO MAKE. YOU KNOW IT'S ABOUT 150,000 WOULD STILL REQUIRE A LOT OF WORK FOR US TO YOU KNOW, WE'RE AT THE EXTERIOR, BUT IT WAS SOLD REALLY QUICKLY SO THEY DON'T COME ON THE MARKET VERY OFTEN. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST NOT A LOT OF THESE BEING BUILT AND THEY'RE BUILT. PER ORDER, SO YEAH. YOU THINK ABOUT JUST THE USAGE OR DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS THIS VEHICLE USE THREE OR FOUR TIMES A WEEK. SO YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. UM SO WE ANTICIPATE OUR NORMAL RIDERSHIP WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, BASICALLY EIGHT HOURS A DAY. RIGHT NOW. THE DASH CAN'T OPERATE THAT LONG, BECAUSE IT'S ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND IT HAS TO RECHARGE FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. WHERE WOULD IT BE STORED? SO WE WOULD STORE THIS AT THE CITY YARD? OKAY, SO YOU'RE ARE YOU. GOING

[01:50:05]

TO A FIXED SCHEDULE THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY I MISSED THAT. ABSOLUTELY SO RIGHT NOW. THE DASH HAS ITS ROUTE, BUT IT'S ON A CALL SO YOU CAN CALL AND WE ANTICIPATE GOING TO A FIXED ROUTE WHICH WILL GO DOWN ACROSS HIGHWAY FIVE COMEBACK HIT. UH YOU KNOW, THE CHESTNUT PARKING GARAGE THE LOTS TO THE NORTH AND COME BACK AROUND. SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF AN L SHAPE. SO YOU'RE GONNA REMOVE THE ON CALL SERVICE RIGHT? THINK THAT IT WILL. UM ON CALL IS GREAT TO GET RIDERSHIP UP IMMEDIATELY, BUT BUT WHEN PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THAT A TROLLEY IS GOING TO BE THERE AT A FIXED TIME, THEN OVERALL LONG TERM RIDERSHIP GOES DOWN SOME OF THE LESSONS THAT WE LEARNED FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL. SO LAST QUESTION IS ABOUT THE YOU SAID IT'S THE PARK'S TROLLEY. PARKS OWNS THE OTHER TROLLEY THAT WE'VE SEEN AND THAT REQUIRES A CDL. IT DOES DRIVE IN ANY CASE, RIGHT? WHICH WOULD, UH , BASICALLY QUADRUPLE THE COST OPERATING COSTS. FOR MAIN STREET JUST JUST TO PAY FOR A CEO IF WE CAN'T EVEN GET A CDL DRIVER BECAUSE THE LIMITED HOURS IT'S NOT A FULL, YOU KNOW. SO WE STILL USE THE PARK'S TROLLEY FOR THE BIG EVENTS LIKE OCTOBER FAST STARTS IN BLOOMS IF IT'S AVAILABLE, UM SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP, YOU KNOW, OCCASIONALLY OVER THE YEARS, SO AND THAT THAT'S A I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD THAT TROLLEY IS, TOO. BUT IT IS APPROACHING IT THE END OF ITS LIFESPAN. SO THIS TROLLEY IS IT GOING TO HAVE LIKE YOU SAID SET STOPS CORRECT. HAVE YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT MAYBE . LIKE MADOKA, LOCAL OR WHOEVER , MAKING ONE OF THOSE STOPS AND THEN HAVING THAT BUSINESS BY SPONSORSHIP FOR THAT SPECIFIC SPOT. WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT SPONSORSHIPS IN THAT DETAIL. AS FAR AS WHERE THEY STOP FOR US, I THINK, MAKING THE ROUTE AS USABLE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS POSSIBLE IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS. AND THEN SPONSORSHIPS WOULD BE FOR MAYBE, YOU KNOW.

OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE STUFF ON THE BACK OF THE CHAIR SOMETHING OR, YOU KNOW, VISUALLY COUPON WHEN YOU RIDE OR THINGS LIKE THAT. I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE IT STOPPED A CERTAIN RESTAURANTS THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO HAVE THAT STOP AT THE RESTAURANT SO THEY WOULD WANT TO PAY A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY TO HELP WITH THE MAINTENANCE COSTS JUST HAVEN'T EXPLORED THAT, SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DEFINITELY EXPLORE. OH, THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

ONE IS THE DESIGN BECAUSE OF OUR CLIMATE HERE, IS IT? THAT'S WHY IT'S ALL ENCLOSED AND WE DON'T HAVE. THE FUN PART IS THAT YOU CAN HANG OFF THE SIDE ON. I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE OTHER IMAGES, AND I WAS IMAGINING SOME OF THE CITIES WHERE YOU CAN JUST HOP ON. YEAH I KNOW IT'S HOT ANYMORE. YEAH YEAH, YEAH, I'M JUST SAYING YES. YOU DO IT IN SAN FRANCISCO. I MEAN, UM, SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF IT WAS A PRODUCT OF THE HEAT, AND WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU WILL LIKELY BE TRANSPORTING MOST PEOPLE, SO DEFINITELY. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE ACCESS AND WE NEED TO HAVE, UM YOU KNOW, HEATING CAPABILITIES, EVEN FOR OUR EXTREME WINTERS. HERE, UM I WILL SAY YES, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPTIONS IN THIS SIZE RANGE, SO THAT YOU WE REALLY HAVE TO KIND OF STAY. BUT WHILE THAT CDL LIMIT IS KIND OF FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROGRAM AND FOR IT TO NOT FEEL OVERSIZED AND DOWNTOWN, SO. I STILL AM A FAN, THOUGH. I THINK IT'S PRETTY AWESOME. AND I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE DESTINATIONS AND YEAH, EVERYBODY LOVES TO DERIVE THE TROLLEYS, SO THAT'S FINE. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. CAN'T GET IN MOTION TO PULL THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED ENJOY SECOND TAKEN BY DAVID RACHET. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU,

ANDREW. NEXT ISLAND, 23-0603 CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER DISCUSSING ACT ON PROJECT GRANT APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF COLLIN COUNTY 23-15 AND THE AMOUNT OF FORCE $400,000 TO FIND CRITICAL HOME REPAIRS FOR LOW INCOME RESIDENTS IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, AND TEXAS. AMOUNT REPRESENTS 100% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COSTS. THE LAST THING CONTESTANTS WILL BE PRESENTING. MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I'M CELESTE COX CEO, AND THIS IS WHY I'M CONTESTED CORPORATE REQUEST TODAY IS. THERE WE GO, IS FOR $400,000 FOR THE HOME REPAIR PROGRAM YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM THE CITY ABOUT THE NEED FOR HOME REPAIRS IN MCKINNEY, THIS IS FOR OWNER

[01:55:04]

OCCUPIED HOMES. OUR GOALS FOR THIS PROGRAM IN COLLIN COUNTY, IS TO REPAIR 40 HOMES THIS NEXT YEAR. THIS GRANT WOULD PAY FOR 13 JUSTIN MCKINNEY. UM AND WE DO SUBSIDIZE THE COST. THE COST OF THIS, UM HOME REPAIRS IS FOR THE MATERIAL. ALL OF OUR LABOR IS DONE BY VOLUNTEERS, SO THE LABOR AND INSTALLATION AND SOME OF THE MATERIALS IS DONATED FOR THESE PROJECTS, SO IT IS LEVERAGED.

THESE ARE OUR GOALS FOR THIS YEAR. WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT LEVELS, WHICH ARE REPRESENTED IN THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. THE PROJECTS THAT COME ACROSS AS ARE SOME COMING FROM THE CITY. SOME COME FROM OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS JUST REACHING OUT TO US, AND WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE BE AT THE LEVEL ONE. BECAUSE AGAIN WE LIKE YOU MENTIONED EARLIER. WE DON'T WANT TO PUT A BAND AID. WE DON'T WANT FAMILIES TO BE IN THE SITUATION . FIVE YEARS, 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THE MORE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS.

THOSE ARE THE REASONS WHY. THIS YEAR. WE ALSO RESTRUCTURED OUR HOME REPAIR BY BRINGING ME ON BOARD. SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT . MY BACKGROUND IS BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND MCKINNEY 20 YEARS AGO AT THE END OF STANDARD FOR STREET, PUTTING IN THE FIRST TWO SUBDIVISION ON THE EAST SIDE OF HOW WE FIVE SO TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK THIS YEAR, AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND AT BE OVER NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION , NOT JUST HOME REPAIR. IT'S AN HONOR TO GET TO WORK WITH. YOU KNOW, HIGHWAY FIVE RESIDENTS, BUT ALSO, UM, THE HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL AND THE NEW GROCERY STORE . YOU KNOW, THEY'RE REACHING OUT TO US, SAYING THERE AREN'T PROGRAMS TO REHAB WHAT WE HAVE, HOW CAN YOU HELP? AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER PART OF THE ROLE OF HOME REPAIR IS WE'RE GETTING THOSE REQUESTS AND WE'RE TRYING TO MEET THEM THROUGH, YOU KNOW, LEVERAGING. OUR VOLUNTEERS AND THE GROUPS THAT ARE WORKING WITH THIS CURRENTLY. THIS HELPS YOU WANT TO DO THIS ONE? THIS ONE SHOWS OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT. WE HAD AN IMPLANT STUDY DONE, AND SO FOR EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN, UM IN OUR PROJECTS, A DOLLAR 55 GOES BACK INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND 8.3 MILLION IS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF OUR INVESTMENTS AND 5.3 MILLION HAS BEEN UP, UM, INVESTED IN CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS. BECAUSE WE'RE THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT BECAUSE WE JUST KIND OF RIGHT. THANK YOUR TIME.

I THINK WE NEED TO HURRY UP AND ZOOM FORWARD. IT'S WRONG. THAT'S FINE. THIS ONE'S YOURS. OKAY THIS REPRESENTS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FIGURES, BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST ONE THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THE POVERTY RATE IN MCKINNEY 7.3% ALWAYS LIKE TO HAVE THINGS IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS THAT IF I WAS 12, I COULD UNDERSTAND IT. AND FOR ME, IT'S MEANS THAT 15,431 PEOPLE, UM.

THAT LIVE IN MCKINNEY ARE LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. ALL OF THE FAMILIES THAT WERE ASSISTING ARE LIVING IN POVERTY. AND THEY ARE HOMEOWNERS. THEY HAVE LIVED HERE. THEY'VE WORKED HERE.

THEY'VE RETIRED HERE. THEY PAID TAXES OVER THE YEARS HERE, AND OUR PROGRAM REPRESENTS HELPING THOSE HOMEOWNERS. THIS IS DONE BY INTERNATIONAL REPAIRS BY TITLEHOLDERS SO THE HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES THAT ARE REACHING OUT TO HABITAT FOR HOME REPAIR. THE PERCENTAGE OF 60% OF THOSE ARE FEMALE HOMEOWNERS. REPAIR COSTS BY TYPE. SO YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS. THE CRITICAL HOME REPAIR IS DEFINITELY THE HIGHEST. AND CONSTRUCTION TRENDS . I'LL DO IT THIS WAY. THIS WAS DONE BY HABITAT INTERNATIONAL FOR ALL NATIONWIDE HABITATS ACROSS THE US AND THIS LAST YEAR, 9400 HOME REPAIRS WERE DONE VERSUS NEW HOMES BUILT 2600 . SO YOU CAN SEE THE TREND IS SHIFTING AS OUR HOMES ARE AGING. UM, AND THEN THIS ALSO SHOWS OVER SINCE 2010 ANNUAL PRODUCTION JUST BY HEPATITIS AFFILIATES IN THE UNITED STATES . WE SAW A LITTLE BUMP THIS YEAR IN NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION WENT UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT IF YOU SEE THE NUMBER OF HOME REPAIRS, IT'S DEFINITELY THE LARGER PORTION OF IT. THIS IS THE TOTAL HOUSING IN MCKINNEY NUMBERS AND THE OWNER OCCUPIED NUMBER. WHICH IS ALL THAT WE FOCUS ON HIS OWNER, OCCUPIED HOUSING AND 7.3% OF THE OWNER OCCUPIED OR OVER 40 YEARS OLD. I DO WISH THAT WE HAD THE PERCENTAGE FOR SENIORS BECAUSE A LOT OF THE FAMILIES THAT WERE SUSTAINED OUR SENIORS IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE IN SAVINGS OR RETIREMENT VERSUS THE LEVEL OF HOME REPAIR THAT'S

[02:00:04]

NEEDED. IT'S JUST YEAH, IT'S BREATHTAKING. SO THANK YOU FOR THIS. THESE ARE SOME OF OUR BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES. JUST REPRESENT FAMILIES. THESE ARE SOME OF OUR CURRENT PROJECTS, SO I GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL. UM, SORRY. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, OUR APPRAISALS OF HABITAT PROPERTIES HAVE INCREASED. UM $42,500.19 PERCENT. OUR CURRENT APPRAISAL ON OUR COTTON GROVES HOUSES THAT WE'RE BUILDING IS 270,500. THAT'S FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHICH ■IS RIDICULOUS. M AND THEN OUR LAND COSTS HAVE ALSO INCREASED ABOUT 46% WHICH IS ALSO CRAZY, SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONSIDERING OUR REQUEST. UM, AND WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.

SO AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, OF COURSE DEFINITELY. THOSE IMAGES CRAFT TAKING THAT STEEL IN 2023. RESIDENTS OF LIVING IN THOSE KIND OF CONDITIONS. AND SO I THINK IT IS. THE TESTAMENTS OF THE WORK THAT WE DO AND THE CONTINUED WORK THAT IS NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT NO NO ONE DESERVES TO LIVE IN THESE TYPE OF CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS. CURIOUS WHEN WITH HABITAT IN GENERAL, AND THIS IS SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW. YOU'RE BUILDING HOMES, AND THEN YOU THINK ABOUT IN 10 YEARS OR 20 YEARS. THE REPAIRS HOW IS THAT FACTORED INTO BUDGETING OR PREPARATION THROUGH HABITAT? WHAT WHAT? WHAT DOES WHAT DO YOU ALL DO, AND I KNOW WE'RE ABLE TO FUND SOME OF IT. BUT IF WE HAD NO FUNDING AVAILABLE, WHAT WOULD HABITAT BE ABLE TO DO? ANYTHING TO HELP REPAIR HOMES. WE WOULD PROBABLY DO MINOR REPAIRS, EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE WITH VOLUNTEERS AND DONATED MATERIALS THAT WE CAN FUNDRAISE FOR. BUT IN CALLING COUNTY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE CITY'S DO HELP US WITH THE HOME REPAIR PROJECTS THROUGH CDBG FUNDS AND OTHER FUNDS, BUT THAT'S HOW WE ARE ABLE TO DO THIS, ESPECIALLY AS THE HOMES AGE. BECAUSE ALL OF THE CITIES IN COLLIN COUNTY ARE SEEING AGING HOMES AND NO WAY TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THOSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE LOW INCOME OR SENIORS. WE GET TONS OF REFERRALS FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT. THEY'LL COME GIVE THEM A CODE VIOLATION, AND SO YOU HAVE TO FIX THIS. AND THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS OR THEY'RE TOO PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO DO IT SO YOU KNOW IF WE DON'T DO THIS PROGRAM OR THE CITY DOESN'T DO THIS PROGRAM, THEN YOU KNOW THESE HOMES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO AGE AND FALL INTO DISREPAIR. AND THEN WE HAVE NO PLACE FOR SENIORS TO AGE IN PLACE IN THEIR EXISTING HOMES.

ALSO A LOT OF TIMES THE WE'RE NOT HELPING, UM HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A HABITAT HOME.

THAT NUMBER IS VERY LOW BECAUSE FROM THE LOCAL STANDPOINT AND THE INTERNATIONAL STANDPOINT, WE'RE CONSTANTLY MEETING AND TALKING ABOUT HOME PRESERVATION . SO HOW TO BUILD BETTER LONG TERM HOW TO MAKE THEIR HOMES MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT. LOOKING AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS. ALL OF THOSE THINGS , ESPECIALLY FOR TEXAS, YOU KNOW FOUNDATION. MOST OF THE HOMES THAT COME TO US HAVE HUGE FOUNDATION REPAIR ISSUES, AND THEN THAT SPILLS INTO PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THANK YOU. INFORMATION HELPS. SORRY I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION. I ALMOST FORGOT IT. SO WE LEARNED EARLIER THAT THE CDBG GRANTS CANNOT BE USED TO REPAIR THE MOBILE HOMES. BUT THEY CAN BE USED. IT SEEMS TO REPAIR THESE OWNER OCCUPIED HOMES. AND WE JUST HEARD FROM MR GRIMES THAT THE CDBG FUNDING IS BEING DISCUSSED. I GUESS THE PROPOSAL FOR A FUTURE REQUESTS CAN YOU TALK ABOUT DOES THE CDBG FEDERAL FUNDING HELP YOU WITH THIS PARTICULAR, UM, HOME REPAIR PROGRAM. WE DID NOT RECEIVE CDBG FUNDING FROM THE CITY THIS YEAR OR WE'RE NOT BEING RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING. OKAY, SO THE CITY HAS DECLINED. YOU REQUESTED IT, AND THE CITY HAS DECLINED. CORRECT DID THEY GIVE ANY RATIONALE FOR THE DECLINATION? I MEAN, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY FEEL LIKE WE GET THE FUNDING FROM M C. D. C, UM SO THAT'S PROBABLY WHY WE DON'T IN OTHER CITIES. UM, WE DO RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS FOR HOME REPAIRS. UM PLENA. WE RECEIVE A GOOD AMOUNT. THANK YOU DOESN'T HAVE A CBC. NO, THEY DO NOT. SO THAT'S WHY WE GET IT FROM CDBG. AND THE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. I'LL JUST SAY, I THINK THAT THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY WE NEED TO BE HAVING A SINGLE SOURCE. HERE. I CITIES HOLDING BACK CDBG

[02:05:07]

FUNDS FROM YOU GUYS BECAUSE OF OUR MONEY COMING IN, AND THEY'RE USING CVG ON THEIR THEIR PROJECTS AND IT IT I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER FOR EVERYBODY. BY GETTING TOGETHER AND LEVERAGING ALL THE MONEY INTO ONE SPOT, AND I THINK THAT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE.

I AGREE, BECAUSE IN THE CITIES WHERE WE DO HAVE WORK WITH CDBG FUNDS, THE RESTRICTIONS AND THE GUIDELINES OFTENTIMES DO SOMETIMES MAKE IT HARDER. THAT'S WHY WE DO HAVE SUCH A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH CRYSTAL AND HER TEAM AND THINGS THAT THEY CAN'T DO. BECAUSE WE'RE ABLE TO RELY ON WHAT YOU GIVE US WE'RE ABLE TO DO AND IT REALLY YOU KNOW, IT REALLY WORKS. HAND IN HAND. I AGREE. YES, WITH FEDERAL FUNDS. ANY TIME YOU TOUCH A PROPERTY, EVERYTHING HAS TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE. SO EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING IN TO FIX THE HOT WATER HEATER FOR AN APPLICANT AND THERE'S ELECTRICAL OR OTHER ISSUES, YOU HAVE TO BRING THE ENTIRE HOME UP TO CODE IF YOU'RE USING FEDERAL FUNDS, SO THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER DRAWBACK. SOMETIMES TO CDBG. YOU CAN'T DO JUST AN EMERGENCY REPAIR AND FIX SOMETHING THAT'S YOU KNOW, A LEAKING ROOF OR SOMETHING. IF YOU DON'T FIX EVERYTHING, SO THAT IS A BENEFIT OF CDC FUNDING IS WE CAN DO THOSE EMERGENCY REPAIRS, UM FOR THOSE FAMILIES AND USE THE FUNDS ON MORE PROJECTS. SO I'M SORRY. I JUST HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THAT, THEN. SO LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE SOME OF THESE LINE ITEMS YOU WANT TO REPAIR TWO HOMES AT $75,000. THAT $75,000 WOULD NOT BRING THAT ENTIRE HOUSE UP TO CODE.

POSSIBLY THOSE WOULD YES, BUT THE SMALLER ONES, THE $10,000 ONES WOULD NOT THAT MAY ADDRESS MAYBE THE ROOF OR MAYBE THE FOUNDATION, BUT IT CAN ADDRESS THE ENTIRE HOME. OKAY. BUT IN THAT CASE, THEN WHERE THE SOME ELEMENTS OF THE HOME ARE STILL OUT OF CODE. THEN THE CITY IS STILL GRAPPLING WITH THAT HOME. NOT BEING IN COMPLIANCE. IS THAT CORRECT? NECESSARILY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK A LOT IS NOT VISUAL. SO UNLESS A FULL INSPECTION IS DONE THE HOME. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS ON THE CITY SIDE, BUT FOR US GOING IN AND DOING THE REPAIRS AND SEEING THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T ASK ABOUT BUT YOU IT'S JUST YOU CAN'T HELP BUT GO. OKAY THEY'RE ON FIXED INCOME. IF WE COULD GET NEW WINDOWS IN HERE IF WE COULD GET ALL THE GAPS IN THE DOORS FIXED IF WE COULD MEET ALL OF THESE NEEDS, SO THAT'S WHERE WORKING WITH YOUR FUND IS SO HELPFUL AND FLEXIBLE FOR US IN THIS HOUSE ON VIRGINIA, THE YELLOW ONE THAT ONE WAS IN SUCH DISREPAIR THAT WE HAD TO DEMO IT. SO IF YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, WE BUILT A BRAND NEW COMPLETE HOMES. SO SOME OF THEM ARE THAT EXTENSIVE THAT WE DO HAVE TO DO A COMPLETE REBUILD.

BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO FAR GONE. AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING . IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK TO THESE THIS PUBLIC AGENDA? CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST DON'T THINK, DAVID. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN THE PROJECT, AND ANGELA THANK YOU FOR SENDING THE EVIDENCE LIKE YOU GUYS TAG TEAM DIDN'T REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. UM MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, MOVED A 2ND 2ND BY DEBORAH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

UM SO OUR MISSION AT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS IS TO ENABLE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE

[02:10:02]

WHO NEED US, THE MOST. TO UM REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND BECOME CARING, PRODUCTIVE.

CITIZENS AND WE'RE THANKFUL TO CDC FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY'VE DONE TO SUPPORT THE CLUBS. UM, ALONG THE YEARS WE'VE BEEN SERVING IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND, UM, JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT MOST RECENT SUPPORT FROM M C. D. C ALLOWED US TO REPLACE OUR YOUTH BATHROOMS AS WELL AS REMOVE THE NETTING, THAT WE HAD AROUND OUR BASKETBALL COURTS AND REPLACE IT WITH FENCING, SO THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL. FOR US. WE KNOW THAT, UM. AS AN ORGANIZATION. WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY PARTNERED WITH LOCAL, UM, COMMUNITIES TO CREATE A SAFE AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUTH TO DEVELOP. AND DEVELOP MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILD CRITICAL SKILLS. AND SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT WORK IN THIS AREA AND, IN PARTICULAR , CONTINUE THEIR FITNESS EXPERIENCE WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS. WE KNOW THAT HOW THEY SPEND THEIR TIME MATTERS AND, UM, ESPECIALLY AFTER SCHOOL , AND OUR PROGRAMMING IS CRITICAL TO THAT. SO THE EXTRA GAMING UM. THE EXTRA GAMING PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

TODAY. UM I'M SORRY. OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU. LINDA SO, UM, THE EXTRA GAMING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING? AH GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BLEND EXERCISE AND TECHNOLOGY. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. WE KNOW THAT, UM BATTERIES ARE LOW , BUT, UM, WE KNOW THAT THE BLAND BRINGING WE KNOW HOW ENGAGED KIDS ARE IN TECHNOLOGY THESE DAYS AND THE ABILITY TO BLEND ACTUALLY DOING EXERCISE WITH THAT TECHNOLOGY COMPONENT IS EXCITING TO US. IT ALLOWS US TO ACTUALLY TURN GAMES INTO WORKOUT SESSIONS. IT UM GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FUNCTIONAL FITNESS PROGRAMS. UM, AND DEMONSTRATING EXERCISE IN A NEW WAY TO YOUTH. AND THEN IT ALSO GIVES US AN INTERACTIVE. FITNESS WHERE STUDENTS CAN LEARN THE BASICS OF FITNESS AND STILL BE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING . SO WE HAVE THREE PIECES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN OUR PROPOSAL FOR THE EXTRA GAME SYSTEM THAT FIT KICK THE T WALL AND THE FIT HEAVY BALL. SO THE FAKE KID, UM IS LIKE A FULL BODY WORKOUT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS JUST IN TERMS OF KIDS BEING ABLE TO HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO BLOW OFF STEAM. IF THEY'RE HAVING A BAD DAY, THEY CAN GO TO WORK ON THOSE COLUMNS, AND NOBODY WILL BE, YOU KNOW, UPSET ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S THAT COMMERCIAL GRADE. IT'S THAT'S WHAT IT'S DESIGNED FOR. IF THEY WANT TO PRACTICE KARATE KICKS OR WHATEVER IN THAT GROUP, SAYING, THAT'S WHAT THAT'S MADE FOR. UM THE T WALL IS SORT OF LIKE, IF YOU REMEMBER, UM THE GAME, SIMON. THE T WALL IS LIKE SIMON ON STEROIDS, SO THEY'RE GETTING THEIR WORKOUT DOING PERSON. THE PATTERN FOR ALL OF THE LIGHTS, AND IT'S REALLY DEVELOPING A FULL WORKOUT FOR THEM. AND THEN WE HAVE THE FIT HEAVY BALL, WHICH IS GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO DO SOME SORT OF MEDICINE, BALL LIFTING, AND WITH ALL OF THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO DO LIKE A HIT WORKOUT. UM AND REALLY GAIN THAT PHYSICAL FITNESS. AH, EXERCISE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY ALSO OFFER TRAINING TO OUR STAFF AND . SPECIFIC CURRICULUMS THAT WE CAN FOLLOW WITH OUR YOUTH. AND, UM. AND WE'RE LOOKING TO TRAIN THAT WITH THE STAFF. THEY ALSO HAVE A COMPONENT WHERE IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN FAMILIES AND DO LIKE A FAMILY FUN NIGHT SO THAT THE FAMILY HAS NOW EXERCISING TOGETHER THERE, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT BUILDING THAT BRIDGE. THE SECOND PART OF OUR, UM, REQUEST IS TO UPGRADE OUR COMMERCIAL GAME ROOM. THAT ALLOWS US TO DO THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. UM WITH OUR KIDS, THE CHARACTER THE LEADERSHIP TAKING TURNS ON GAMES, THE PLAYING WELL TOGETHER. THAT'S WHAT ALL OF THAT DOES. AND WHILE WE'VE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO HAVE A LOT OF GAMES DONATED, UM NOT ALL OF THAT. EQUIPMENT IS COMMERCIAL GRADE. AND SO WHEN WE HAVE KIDS COMING IN COMING IN 102 150 KIDS PER DAY. AH IT WEARS ON THAT MATERIAL. SO THANK YOU. ANY

[02:15:03]

QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION, SO I'M VISUALIZING THE FACILITY. WHERE WOULD THIS POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT? BE SURE. SO UM, THE EXTRA GAME EQUIPMENT IS EQUIPMENT IS GOING INTO OUR TEAM CENTER. WE HAVE A SPACE OF ROOM DEDICATED THE TEEN CENTER WHERE THAT WOULD BE LOCATED, AND THEN THE GAME EQUIPMENT WILL REPLACE THE GAMER WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE MAIN CLUB. WHERE DOES OTHER CLUBS IN THE DFW AREA HAVE SIMILAR EQUIPMENT OR. I WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT, NO, BUT WE WERE ALL AT THE SAME CONFERENCE WHERE THIS PROVIDER WAS. AND SO I'M SURE THEY PROBABLY HAVE AN INTEREST IN IT, TOO. BECAUSE I JUST WONDER, YOU KNOW, I KNOW CHILDREN AND THE YOUTH YOU KNOW WHEN IT'LL PROBABLY UTILIZED. OF COURSE, THE SUMMER IS ABOUT TO BE OVER. WE'RE GOING INTO SCHOOL AND TO CONSIDER THE USE OF, YOU KNOW, WITH MANY OF THE CHILDREN THEN NOT BEING THERE BETWEEN 2 TO 6 O'CLOCK 7727 TIME OF THE UTILIZATION, RIGHT, OF COURSE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND DOING THE HOLIDAY MONTHS WHEN SUMMER IS FULL DAY FOR NINE WEEKS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SO THEY WILL HAVE FULL UTILIZATION THERE AND THEN IN THE EVENING AFTER THEY'VE DONE THEIR PROJECT, LEARN AND THEIR HOMEWORK FOR TWO HOURS. THIS IS A PLACE FOR THEM TO UNWIND. AND THIS THE GRADE OF THE EQUIPMENT IS, UM EQUAL TO BEING ABLE TO DO ATHLETIC TRAINING. SO, UM IT.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO EXPAND HOW WE DO FITNESS, INCLUDING, UM YOU KNOW, HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS PRACTICING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. QUESTION FOR YOU. SO THE COMPANY THAT'S PROVIDING THAT YOU GUYS ARE WANTING TO BUY THIS FROM SO ONCE IT'S INSTALLED. IS THAT IT? THIS IS THAT'S THE ONLY GAME IT CAN BE. BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW KIDS ARE. THEY'RE GONNA GET BORED WITH IT, AND THEY REALLY DON'T WANT TO PLAY IT. NO MORE SO THE NEXT YEAR JUST SITTING THERE, NOT GETTING USED. THEY CAN BE ABLE TO BE INTERCHANGED WITH NEW GAMES OR IS IT STUCK WITH WHAT WE BUY? GOOD QUESTION. UM THESE ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. UM, BUT WE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL PIECES TO A WEEKEND. CHANGE IT. UM. LOCATION MAYBE. WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ROTATE IT BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE. BUT UM THEY ARE. THEY DO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO COMPETE WITH OTHER CLUBS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND SO THAT MAY BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO RE ENGAGE THEM AS WE DO COMPETITIONS. THANK YOU. ADDITIONAL QUESTION, DAVID, I THINK I HAVE SOME, BUT, UM SO I WANT TO DIG IN A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, UM YOUR NAME IS DENISE. RIGHT MY NAME IS DENISE. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB? THE GREAT ADMINISTRATOR. OKAY CAN YOU GUYS ARE GOING THROUGH A BIT OF A LEADERSHIP TRANSITION RIGHT NOW, RIGHT LAST TIME. BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB CAME HERE. UM MARIANNE RADLEY WAS YOUR CEO AND SHE PRESENTED FOR YOU. SO YES, WHO IS CURRENTLY ACTING AS THE CEO OF SO, TORSTEN SURFACE SURFER IS OUR INTERIM CEO. ALSO OUR BOARD CHAIR. AND THEN OUR VICE PRESIDENT OF RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, MR. ALSO HERE TODAY. OKAY SO YOU ARE CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. WE ARE WE ARE AND I THINK WE WILL HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS IN THE COMING WEEKS. OKAY, COOL. SO . THIS APPLICATION, OR THIS ITEM SAYS THAT IT IS FOR 71,000 FOR THE INSTALLATION OF TRADITIONAL GAMES AND ELECTRONIC GAMES. I THINK WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC GAMES. WHERE ARE THE TRADITIONAL GAMES THAT ARE PART OF THIS SO THAT I WAS REFERRING TO THE COMMERCIAL GAIN THE COOK? YOUR HOCKEY AND PINBALL. RIGHT ABLE DEFINITE. OKAY. GOTCHA. OKAY, UM WE'VE TALKED A FEW TIMES TODAY ABOUT USEFUL LIFE AND HOW LONG THESE THINGS LAST, AND OUR AGREEMENT THAT COMES ALONG WITH ALL OF OUR PROJECT GRANTS IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN REPAIR KEY. THESE THINGS FOR 10 YEARS? YES. I HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME BELIEVING THAT ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT THAT IS USED BY DOZENS, IF NOT HUNDREDS OF KIDS EVERY DAY OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS IS GOING TO US ANYWHERE NEAR 10 YEARS. SET ASIDE THE FACT THAT TECHNOLOGY MOVES SO QUICKLY AND CHILDREN'S TASTE MOVES SO QUICKLY THAT, UM, I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SCENE. THIS EQUIPMENT IN THIS CLUB.

FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, LET ALONE 10, SO EXPLAIN TO ME. IF YOU HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE FOR MAINTAINING THIS AND FOR INVESTING IN. UPDATES AND REPAIRS AND RIGHT

[02:20:09]

RIGHT, SO WE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. AND, UM WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT IN RELATION TO THE SPECIFIC PIECES THAT WE ORDERED. AND WHAT THE REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE ON THOSE PARTICULAR PIECES. THERE WERE SOME PIECES THAT THE COMPANY OFFERED. UM, THAT WE DID NOT ORDER. BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE IT IN THE GAME ROOM OR IN THE GYM AND GET HIT BY A BALL AND BECOME SHATTERED. SO WE EVALUATED THE PIECES AND THEN SELECTED THE ONES THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE THE MOST DURABLE. UM TO PUT FORWARD IN OUR PROPOSAL. FOR THE. THE COMPANY. WHAT TYPE OF AGREEMENT DO WOULD THEY PROVIDE? AS FAR AS TECHNOLOGY INCREASES, THINGS CHANGE. YOU KNOW, DO THEY COME IN? THEY UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEMS TO ENSURE YOU KNOW, BECAUSE AGAIN, YOUR YOUR INTENTION IS 10 YEARS . DAVID'S YOU KNOW HIS. HE HAS A GREAT POINT. CHILDREN'S, YOU KNOW. ATTENTION SPAN ZERO, RIGHT , SO IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO WHAT TYPE OF AGREEMENT WHICH YOU CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE THAT LATER TO CINDY. IT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING TO KNOW AS TECHNOLOGY. YOU KNOW, CHANGES YEAR TO YEAR? MM HMM. YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE COMPANY'S COMMITMENT TO INCOMING IN UPDATING THE EQUIPMENT SO THAT IT DOES NOT BECOME STALE IN IN MOST CHILDREN ? WE KNOW ONCE THEY'VE DONE THAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT ONE OR TWO TIMES THEY LIKE IT AIN'T DOING NOTHING DIFFERENT. IT AIN'T DANCING BY ITSELF. IT AIN'T NOW I'M BORED BECAUSE IT'S DOING NOTHING DIFFERENT. TO THAT POINT. WHAT IS GOING TO KEEP THE INTEREST OF THOSE CHILDREN THAT HAVE VERY 20 ATTENTION, RIGHT? SO WE RUN IT AS A PART OF THE PROGRAM. SO AS THEY MOVE FROM PROJECT LEARNED TO ANOTHER PROGRAM TO ANOTHER PROGRAM, KIDS ARE STILL COMING IN THERE AS A GROUP AND PARTICIPATING, UM PROGRAM PRAGMATIC PROGRAMMATICALLY, UM. WITH REGARDS TO THEIR SUPPORT. UM WHAT I HAVE HERE JUST TALKS ABOUT PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, WHICH WAS ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS EARLIER. AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS AND LOCAL UM, SUPPORT BUT I WILL GET MORE INFORMATION ON THAT PERCENTAGE. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. GOOD NIGHT . OKAY IF I MIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION. WITH RESPECT TO OUR PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS WERE REALLY MORE FOCUSED ON SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION OR SUSTAINABILITY OF THE CLUB. SO WHAT OUR AGREEMENT WOULD STIPULATE WAS THEY WOULD OPERATE THE CLUB FOR ANOTHER 10 ANOTHER 10 YEARS AS OPPOSED TO FOCUSING ON EACH PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION FOR THE BOARD. I THINK MY THEME TODAY HAS BEEN THE PURSUIT OF USED EQUIPMENT BECAUSE YOU KNOW EVERYONE'S POINT HERE. I HAVE YOUNG KIDS EIGHT AND 10 YEARS OLD. THEY GET BORED RIDICULOUSLY FAST AND TO SPEND $7400 ON A BRAND NEW COMMERCIAL AIR HOCKEY TABLE VERSUS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A TREMENDOUS AVAILABILITY OF USED EQUIPMENT LIKE THIS FOR THIS VERY REASON, BECAUSE KIDS GET BORED, SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE, UM YOU KNOW, IN EXPLORING THAT FOR THE MORE STANDARD EQUIPMENT AND THEN UM FOR THE EXTRA GAME AND EVEN THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. I CURIOUS IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF BULK DISCOUNT IF YOU'RE ABOUT IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS HOCKEY, AND THERE'S A POOL TABLE WAS A COUPLE OF ITEMS FOUR OR FIVE. THE BASKETBALL HOOP AND WHATNOT IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF BULK DISCOUNT OR NONPROFIT DISCOUNT FROM WHOMEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THIS FROM WITH THAT, UM AS FAR AS THE NEW EQUIPMENT GOES , THAT IS THE DISCOUNTED RATE FOR NON PROFITS ON BOTH THESE PIECES. WE DID ASK FOR THAT. OKAY, BECAUSE I JUST GOOGLED BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH AN AIR HOCKEY TABLE COSTS COMMERCIAL GRADE AIR HOCKEY BRAND NEW WAS THIS PRICE SO IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS A DISCOUNT, BUT YOU KNOW? OKAY? IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THAT WAS FROM THAT VENDOR. SO PERHAPS IT WAS A DIFFERENT VENDOR, AND WE CAN LOOK TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND ANOTHER VENDOR THAT HAS A LOWER PRICE POINT. YEAH AS LONG AS IT STILL HAS A COMMERCIAL RIGHT? YEAH MY LAST QUESTION WAS, UM, YOU'RE ASKING FOR 100% OF THE FUNDING FROM THE CDC. BUT HAS YOUR ORGANIZATION CONSIDERED A SPECIFIC CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FROM YOUR DONORS FOR THIS PURPOSE? NOT FOR THIS PURPOSE. WE ARE LOOKING AT A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WANTS OUR NEW C E O ARRIVES. BUT AT THIS POINT NO, WE HAVE NOT. WE DO PUT OUT SPECIAL REQUESTS FOR NEEDS. BUT OFTENTIMES THAT GOES TOWARDS UM, THE SUMMER CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES. WE HAVE A WISH LIST ON OUR WEBSITE, AND THAT'S WHERE WE REALLY FOCUS ON THOSE ITEMS, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DIRECTED

[02:25:02]

SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS THIS APPOINTMENT. IT IS. THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING WE CAN.

WESLEY INSTALLATION TIME IF YOU RECEIVE FUNDING, WHAT IS THE INSTALLATION TIME GETTING THIS EQUIPMENT? LATE TIME. I'M SORRY IT WAS ON OUR PROJECT TIMELINE. I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT DECEMBER. UM. TWO IF WE RECEIVED NOTICE, LIKE IN SEPTEMBER, DECEMBER BEFORE WE COULD ACTUALLY DELIVERY WOULD BE IN NOVEMBER. UM 8 TO 10 WEEKS LEAD TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON THESE? BECAUSE I KNOW IN THAT MISCHIEVOUS LITTLE BOY, HOW THEY CAN ABUSE THINGS. WHAT'S THE WARRANT ON THESE THINGS? I'M NOT SURE IF I HAVE THAT EXACT INFORMATION WITH ME, BUT I CAN GET THAT PROVIDED TO SANDY LEVIN. GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SORRY. I HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. SO FIRST OF ALL, I'LL JUST POINT OUT. THAT SOME THINGS CHANGE AND SOME THINGS REMAIN THE SAME. I WAS A MEMBER OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB HERE IN MCKINNEY WHEN I GREW UP AND I AM PRETTY DANG SURE THAT WHEN I WENT TO THIS CLUB, THERE WAS AN ICE HOCKEY TABLE AND THERE WAS A BASKETBALL SHOOTING GAME AND THERE WAS, YOU KNOW THE LITTLE HOCKEY GAME THAT YOU'VE PROPOSED HERE. SUPER CHECKS PREMIUM SOLID WOOD BASE. NHL LICENSED GAME.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS WERE IN MY DAY CARE CENTER AND MY CLUB WHEN I GREW UP AND YOU'RE STILL PROPOSING TO PURCHASE THOSE BECAUSE KIDS STILL LIKE TO PLAY WITH THEM, AND THEY'RE STILL POPULAR, AND THEY STICK AROUND. WE ALSO HAD ELECTRONIC GAMES COME THROUGH. UM, AS I WAS GROWING UP, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER PROJECTOR SCREEN WHERE YOU COULD LIKE TOUCH ON THE SCREEN AND BUBBLES WOULD MOVE OR GAMES WOULD PLAY WITH YOU INTERACTING WITH IT AND TRACKING YOU. THOSE GAMES AREN'T AROUND ANYMORE BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY MOVES ON AND UM, ATTENTION SPANS AND INTERESTS MOVE, BUT. THE HALF OF YOUR REQUESTS OR SO OR THE THIRD OF IT THAT IS PROPOSING GAMES THAT KIDS HAVE PLAYED WITH. FOR DECADES AND GENERATIONS. MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME. THE ELECTRONIC GAMING THAT HAS MUCH MORE WEAR AND TEAR MUCH MORE LIKELIHOOD TO BREAK DOWN AND MUCH MORE LIKELIHOOD THAT KIDS ARE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST IN IT. MAKES LESS SENSE TO ME. SO HAVING SAID THAT, I'LL JUST ASK. THIS YOU'VE SAID THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU ARE PROPOSING TO PURCHASE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OF YOUR CLUBS IN COLLIN COUNTY. CORRECT? YES. WHY DID YOU PICK THE MCKINNEY CLUB TO DO THIS? MCKINNEY IS ONE OF OUR OLDER. FACILITIES AND SO WE WANTED TO OFFER THEM SOMETHING NEW. WE WANTED TO TRY TO INCREASE THE FITNESS. UM IN THIS AREA, AND WE THOUGHT THAT GAMING IS A GREAT WAY TO INCREASE FITNESS FOR KIDS IN THIS COMMUNITY. ARE YOU PLANNING? TWO OR HAVE YOU MADE REQUESTS OF OTHER.

UM MICHAEL, THERE WAS A LINE SO PRESENT AND WE WILL HAVE DISCUSSION. I'M OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU, MADAM. PRESIDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS. UM GOOD MORNING. IT'S GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS IS I SAID ALL THE TIME ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PRESENTATIONS I CAN GIVE AS A DIRECTOR, BECAUSE IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING NEXT YEAR AND BEYOND THAT, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GREAT M. C D. C BOARD. AS REMINDER. IN APRIL, WE HAD A GREAT JOINT MEETING WITH OUR PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD IS ABOUT TWO HOURS LONG, I THINK UNPACKING ALL THE GREAT STUFF WE'VE DONE AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTING WHAT WE CAN DO AS A TEAM OUT OF THAT WE'VE TAKEN ALL THE NOTES AND DEVELOPED. WHAT WE THINK IS A GREAT PLAN A SIMPLE PLAN. IN FACT, WE ARE JUST ASKING TO FUND TWO ITEMS THIS YEAR WITH THE $5.5 MILLION AS YOU MAY RECALL. IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WE HAVE ASKED FOR AS MUCH AS 468 DIFFERENT PROJECTS WERE AT THAT POINT OR EVOLUTION FOR THE DIRECTION OF MADAM CHAIR TODAY IN PREVIOUS CHAIRS TO CONSOLIDATE TO GET THE MONEY.

SPEND THE MONEY RIBBON CUTTING GET BUILDING RIBBON CUTTING. THAT'S BEEN MY CORE MISSION AND I WANT TO KEEP THAT GOING FORWARD. I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE MORE THING HERE WE HAVE ABOUT $11.6 MILLION OF MONEY STILL OUTSTANDING IN PROJECTS. BY THE END OF NEXT COUNTER YEAR WILL SPEND DOWN $8 MILLION OF THAT WILL BE DONE AT $3.5 MILLION. SO IN ESSENCE, WE ARE ALMOST CUT UP TO LITERALLY SPENDING 5.5 A YEAR HAS TAKEN US ABOUT THREE OR FOUR YEARS TO SPEND DOWN ABOUT $20 MILLION OF OUTSTANDING PROJECT MONEY. KUDOS TO MY TEAMMATES HERE TODAY, ESPECIALLY MISS GINNY BAKER OR RECEIVES PARK DEVELOPMENT FOR US . AND ALSO JOINING ME IS MISS ERICA LIGHT OVERSEAS APEX CENTER , AND THEY WERE HERE TO KEEP ME HONEST AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WITH THAT. TWO PROJECTS GREENS MCKINNEY, UH, THE PARKING TRAIL AND TALIC IMPROVEMENTS. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? ON THE GROUND? AS YOU KNOW, THE MCKINNEY GREENS PROJECT IS A FORMER GOLF COURSE. ONE OF OUR INTENTIONAL MISSIONS RIGHT NOW IS TO IMPROVE THE HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS IN THAT GOLF COURSE. RIGHT NOW. RESIDENTS ARE USING THE CART PATHS, WHICH ARE AGING.

THIS WILL ALLOW US TO PUT BRAND NEW TRADITIONAL SIZED AND DESIGNED AND 88 COMPLIANT TRAILS THROUGHOUT THE PARK. WE ARE NOT JUST ASKING FOR MCC MONEY FOR THIS PROJECT. WE ALSO HAVE RECEIVED ACCOUNTING COUNTY GRANT . AND WE JUST SUBMITTED ANOTHER GRANT FROM COLLIN COUNTY TO HELP AS WELL OFFSET THIS IN MY MIND THAT THIS TYPE OF PROJECT CHECKS ALL THE BACKS IS FOR COLLIN COUNTY'S GRANT ADMINISTRATORS. IT'S CONNECTIONS. IT'S HEALTH AND WELLNESS, ACTIVATING A NATURAL SPACE IN CARBON COUNTY. SO REALLY GREAT HIGHLIGHT HERE. LIKE, CAN WE GO BACK? SORRY UM I JUST WANT TO ORIENT MYSELF. SO THE STREET RUNNING ON THE NORTH OF THIS IS THAT WILSON CREEK THE STREET NORTH IS ELDORADO ELDORADO. FIVE IS ON THE EAST SIDE, RIGHT ABOVE WHERE IT SAYS PARTIAL FUNDING FROM 2021 COUNTY COUNTY THAT STICKS RIGHT THERE. THAT HELPS YOU GET YOUR BEARINGS. BETTER, RIGHT? GOTCHA. SO UM, THIS IS AT STICKS. CONNECTING BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRAIL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ELDORADO, BECAUSE CURRENTLY YOU HAVE TO GO UP THROUGH STICKS PROPERTY HIKE UP. I KNOW THIS FROM PAINFUL EXPERIENCE AND THEN KIND OF WORK YOUR WAY ACROSS OTHER IDEAS, SO THIS IS CONNECTING THOSE TRAILS THAT'S CORRECT. SO THIS IS A KIND OF TWO PART PROJECT ONE UNDERNEATH ELDORADO TO YOUR POINT, AND THEN THE RED LINE.

WELL CONNECTED EVEN BETTER AND EVENTUALLY DIE AT HIGHWAY FIVE, BECAUSE WHEN HIGHWAY FIVE GETS

[02:35:05]

IMPROVED, THERE WILL HAVE A PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS WILL HELP US GET TO THE HERD MUSEUM THAT'S HELPED MY GOAL. MY POINT HERE IS THAT NOT SHOWN HERE IS A CONNECTION TO A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER TRAILS THROUGH TOWN LAKE PARK EXACTLY, EVENTUALLY GETS YOU CONNECT OTHER TRAILS THAT GETS YOU UP TO BONNIE WAYNE. SO THIS IS THIS IS A HUGE AND IMPORTANT CONNECTION TO MAKE. TO ACCESS A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER TRAIL NETWORKS THAT ARE SHOWN HERE. YES, SIR. EXACTLY RIGHT.

THE SECOND PIECE IS CAL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. WE DEVELOPED A GREAT MASTER PLAN THIS ASPIRATIONAL IN MANY RESPECTS, BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN DO A LOT TODAY. WE WISH TO START ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PARK AND WORK OUR WAY WEST. THIS MONEY. $3.5 MILLION WILL HELP US WITH THAT WE ARE IN DESIGN MODE RIGHT NOW IN THE EAST SIDE OF THE PARK, AND THE ESTIMATED BUDGET ABOUT $6 MILLION WILL BACKFILL THAT WITH OTHER SOURCES, BAD MONEY, DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTIONS, FEES AND SO ON. WE'VE GOT YOU KNOW, MARCHING ORDERS IN MANY RESPECTS FROM THE PUBLIC AND CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY LIKED WHAT THEY SAW FROM THE MEASURE PLANNING. LET'S GET IT. LET'S GET IT GOING.

LET'S DO IT AND THAT WAS ECHOED AS WELL DURING OUR JOINT MEETING. SO 6 MILLION IS THE ENTIRE TOWN LIKE BUDGET OR JUST THE EAST SIDE PORTION OF WHAT WE CALL THE FIRST PHASE CORRECT.

IT'S A DOG PARK. FOR SOMEONE THAT DOES THAT LIGHTED FORESTS WERE DOING PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS AND SO ON, SO THERE'S SOME NEW STUFF AND IMPROVING WHAT'S OUT THERE AND EACH YEAR WILL KEEP BITING DOWN THE MASTER PLAN. AND THIS DOES INCLUDE THE DOG PARK RIGHT NOW IT DOES. EACH YEAR. WE ALSO REQUEST TO REALLOCATE MONEY THAT WE REALIZED IN SAVINGS AND CERTAIN PROJECTS. THIS YEAR. WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS. ONE IS THE PARK'S MASTER PLANNING, P K.

THAT'S AN INTERNAL TRACKING DEVICE FOR US. THAT MEANS THE C I P PROJECT FOR US. WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR MASTER PLANNING. IT'S BEEN ADOPTED. WE LOVE TO PUSH THAT MONEY INTO PARKS, ACCESSIBILITY. THE NEXT PHASE OF PLANNING WE WISH TO DO IS A COMPLETE ASSESSMENT OF EVERY SINGLE PARK. WE HAVE FOR TRUE 88 COMPLAINTS, NOT JUST PHYSICAL, BUT THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THE A D A NEEDS. SO WE HAVE A COMPANY ENGAGED. WE LOVE TO USE THAT MONEY FOR THAT PROCESS, WHICH WILL ALSO INFORM FUTURE BUDGET REQUEST TO GET STUFF CORRECTED AS NEEDED. AND SECOND PROSPECT PARK. THIS IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY NEAR QUITE IN 3 80, THE PRESTWICK SUBDIVISION. THAT PROJECT IS DONE OPEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. WE WISH TO MOVE THAT MONEY TO GRADY. LITTLE JOHN. WE HAVE A VERY GOOD REQUESTS TO UPGRADE THE SHADE AND CEILING IN THAT AREA. I THINK, MR KELLY, YOU WERE HERE AT OUR PARKS BOARD. WE HAD A DIFFERENT ASSOCIATIONS SPEAK ABOUT THEIR NEEDS AND SO ON. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP QUITE A BIT THE SPECTATOR EXPERIENCE WATCHING THE GAMES, SO WE LOVE TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY TO THIS PROJECT TO GET IT DONE, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN REALLY QUICK. AGAIN, JUST LIKE RECAP THE OVERALL ASK. AND THEN THE OTHER COMPONENT OF OUR DISCUSSION TODAY. APEX CENTER OBSTACLE COURSE A COUPLE YEARS AGO, CDC SPONSORED A GRANT FOR US OR GIVE US A GRANT TO INSTALL AN OBSTACLE COURSE WE'VE CALLED IT THE NINJA COURSE. THE HYDRO CHORUS AND SO ON. I'M HERE TODAY TO SAY THAT IT IS NOT THE NEXT SUCCESSFUL AS WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO TRY STUFF YOU'D LIKE TO EXPERIMENT. THIS IS BEYOND A PALLET PROGRAM OR SOMETHING THAT NATURE BUT I'M HERE TO SAY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DECOMMISSION. THE APPARATUS. THREE REASONS. THE DURABILITY OF IT IS NOT TO OUR LIKING. THE MAINTENANCE IS PROVING TO BE TOO CUMBERSOME AND EXPENSIVE. AND TO BE FAIR, THE PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN A BIT DIFFICULT. IN FACT, IT IS NOT BEEN DOWN IN THE WATER SINCE DECEMBER, AND NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF APEX CENTERS AS THAT'S WHY, SO USAGE OF THE LAB AREA HAS BEEN A PRIORITY AT THIS PART PORTION OF THE POOL. SO WITH THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT RIGHT NOW, UM, CBC AND WE THOUGHT WAS RIGHT THERE TO COME BACK AND ANNOUNCE AND GET YOUR PERMISSION THAT WE'RE EXPLORING TAKING IT DOWN. I ONLY HAVE ONE, CHRIS, ME AND GEORGE WAS SUPPOSED TO COMPETE ON THAT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO COMPETE . OKAY I WANT TO MAKE THIS A STIPULATION THAT THAT HAPPENS BEFORE IT COMES DOWN AND WE GET FULL VIDEO, ACTUALLY. FAIR ENOUGH. THE THAT FAIR ENOUGH. UM, MY JUST COMMENT BRIEFLY ON THAT. UM AND SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN. THINGS DON'T GO THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO. AND THAT TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE. WE TAKE.

WE TAKE SHOTS AT INNOVATIVE THINGS SOMETIMES, AND IF WE'RE GOING TO BE INNOVATORS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EXPECT THAT SOME THINGS WON'T WORK OUT. I THINK THE ONLY MISTAKE WE MAKE

[02:40:04]

IN THAT IS NOT LEARNING FROM IT AND TAKING LESSONS FROM IT. SO AS I MENTIONED TO YOU PRIVATELY I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU GUYS KIND OF JUST COME BACK AND PROVIDE A WRITTEN REPORT OF. KIND OF SOME OF THE DETAILS OF WHAT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND WHAT LESSONS WERE LEARNING SO THAT WHEN WE TAKE INNOVATIVE SHOTS IN THE FUTURE, WE, UH WE HIT VERY HAPPY IN THE MIDDLE CONSIDERING THAT YES, SIR. SO WITH THE EQUIPMENT DOES, IT JUST GOES SOMEWHERE, IS IT I KNOW IN PREVIOUS, YOU KNOW SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS MORE WE WERE ABLE TO SEND SHIP OFF TO OTHER COUNTRIES. AND BUT WHAT HAPPENS? IS THERE ANY WHERE THAT THIS KIND OF EQUIPMENT CAN BE DONATED TO USE SOMEWHERE, MAYBE IN A MORE UNDESERVED TYPE THAT MAY BE MORE USEFUL. JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE EQUIPMENT WANTS TO SPEAK, EXPLORING ALL THAT SO PENDING REVIEW BY THE BOARD TODAY, WE'LL WORK OUR CITY ATTORNEYS TO FIND OUT CAN WE REPURPOSE IT SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. CAN IT BE DONATED AUCTIONED OFF? THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN LOOK AT. SO THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED IN MY FOLLOW UP MEMO. I'LL BE SURE TO SUMMARIZE THE FINAL ACTIONS. I HAVE COMMENTS. SO UM, THERE IS ONE PERSON DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS. AND THIS IS MY EIGHT YEAR OLD WHO COULDN'T USE IT UNTIL SHE BECAME EIGHT. AND THEN IT WAS NOT A NEWS. SO SHE HAD BEEN WAITING AND WAITING BECAUSE BIG SISTER HAD USED IT, BUT IT WAS VERY CHALLENGING COURSE, AND I THINK VERY FEW KIDS WERE SUCCESSFUL AT IT, AND I CAN SEE IT WOULD CAUSE A LOT OF FRUSTRATION AMONGST, YOU KNOW, SORT OF THE 10 TO 12 YEAR OLD SET, SO YOU KNOW AGAIN TO THE POINT OF, YOU KNOW, YOU TRY THINGS THEY DON'T WORK AND YOU KNOW, WE MOVE ON. BUT I DO AGREE IT'S BENEFICIAL TO LEARN FROM IT. BUT I DID WANT TO POINT OUT THERE WAS ONE LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. APEX ONE. ENJOY. WHAT WE COULD DO IS HAVE HER COME IN AND COMPETE AGAIN. OUR CHAIR AND MAYOR DECEIVE JUDGE COMPETE WITHIN THE TRUMP HAS ALREADY DONE YEAH. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, MADAME CHAIR. OKAY? THIS IS A PUBLIC AGENDA ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLIC AGENDA ITEM? I WILL READ. DO BOTH OF THEM SEPARATELY . SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 23-0605? MADE THE MOTION.
