[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (for Non-Public Hearing Items)]
COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS, BUT WE DO HAVE A NON AGENDA ITEM, BUT THERE'S ONLY TWO SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP SO I WILL CALL THEM BOTH UP. LEAVE THE FIRST. AND HAVE THEM LOADED YET ON MIND SCREEN. YEAH. WHEN I CALL YOU UP. IF YOU COME UP, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES WILL BE A TIMER TO YOUR LEFT OR TO YOUR RIGHT IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND PLEASE ABIDE BY THE TIME YOU'LL SEE A TIMER GO FROM GREEN TO YELLOW AT 30 SECONDS AND READ WHEN YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS. I'M STEVE BERRY. SEE. THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS STEVE BARRY WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS TO 138 SOUTH AIRPORT DRIVE. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, THE LEADERS THE VIEWING AUDIENCE OUT THERE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE TRASH AND RECYCLING SERVICES FOR OVER 22 YEARS. TO THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES AND MCKINNEY. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT? THERE'S NOT TOO MANY SERVICES THAT TOUCH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOUR TRASH TRUCK DRIVER. I THINK WHEN YOU DO THE NUMBERS, IT COMES OUT TO SOMETHING LIKE 5.7 MILLION POTENTIAL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF OUR DRIVERS WERE VERY PROUD OF OUR PEOPLE. HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TO THE CITY. YOU KNOW, PASS OUT TRASH TRUCKS BEEN TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES. THEY DO A PHENOMENAL JOB. UM AND ACTUALLY, YOUR OWN REPORT SHOWS THAT 85% OF THE PEOPLE GIVE US A REALLY HIGH MARK. BUT. IT'S ALL COME DOWN TO THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW, SERVICE AND THERE'S PRICE. AND THE CITY OF WICHITA JUST CAME OUT AND SHOWED THAT OUR PRICING IS LESS THAN THE MEDIAN AVERAGE. SO IT'S DEFINITELY NOT PRICE. BUT WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS. YOU HAVE A LOCAL COMPANY HERE. WE HAVE 75 PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE IN MCKINNEY. YOU HAVE TO PAY LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES WE PAY. WE PAY LOCAL SALES TAXES. WE HAVE THIS GREAT TRACK RECORD SUCCESS. AND TONIGHT YOU'RE GOING TO TURN OVER THAT CONTRACT TO A COMPANY THAT WANTED US TO BUY THEM. NOT THAT LONG AGO. THAT WOULD BE WEIRD. WE BASICALLY BY THAT COMPANY SO WE COULD BUY OUR CONTRACT BACK. BUT THAT'S HOW IT KIND OF WORKS IN THE WORLD. I GUESS PRIVATE EQUITY COMPANIES WANT TO FLIP AND SO I'M JUST ASKING YOU TODAY, WHEN YOU GIVE THAT CONTRACT, MAYBE CONSIDER A TRANSITION FEE. SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT THEY WILL HOLD THAT COMPANY FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. OR HOW MANY. MANY YOU DO THAT MAYBE CHARGE A MILLION DOLLARS. IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. SO CONSIDER THAT BECAUSE WHEN THEY SIGNED ON THAT DOTTED LINE BOOM, THEY CAN CHANGE IT JUST LIKE THAT. IF THEY WANTED TO SELL IT TO US. THEY'RE DEFINITELY POTENTIALLY SELLING IT TO OTHER PEOPLE, TOO. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND, UM YOU KNOW YOUR VISION REPORT HERE, THIS ONE HERE SHOWS THAT YOU WANT TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS, RIGHT? WHERE THE ONES WITH THE NATURAL GAS TRUCKS. YOUR THEY'RE GOING TO DIESEL. NOW WE'RE THE ONES WITH THE LOCAL FACILITY. WE'RE NOT DRIVING ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE'RE THE ONES WITH THE[00:05:03]
LOCAL MURPH. YOU'RE GONNA BE DRIVING 45 MINUTES AROUND TRIP ON THAT NUMEROUS, WHICH ISN'T EVEN BEEN BUILT YET IN FRISCO OPENS. I DON'T KNOW HOW ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS THAT IS. SOME MIGHT SAY GREENWASHING , BUT THAT'S UP TO SOMEBODY TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I'M JUST SAYING IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TO LOSE THIS CONTRACT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH ALL YOUR PARTIES. WE'RE GOING TO HOLD OUR HEADS HIGH. WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH MCKINNEY. WE'RE GOING TO TRANSITION IN THE BEST MANNER THAT WE CAN BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY WASTE CONNECTIONS, DOES IT.THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND I APPRECIATE THE ABILITY TO COMMENT ON THIS. GOOD NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY OR WHO, HOW? WHAT? HOW IT'S JUST SO NEGLECTED AND UM, I TALKED TO THE PEOPLE IN OFFICE REGULARLY. BUT THIS IS A CITY AND, UM, WE HAVE PROBLEMS AND I EVEN LOOKED AT THE POLICE LOG AND A LOT OF POLICE COME THERE. SO UM, I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M TOO GOOD TO LIVE THERE, BUT IT'S BECOMING TOO SEGREGATED AND THEY'RE TREATING US LIKE TENANTS WHO HAVE TO LIVE IN A SEGREGATED ENVIRONMENT DUE TO THE FACT HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE TO HAVE MONEY. YOU KNOW, I CAN GO SOMEWHERE, BUT IT'S NO, IT'S THE FOCUS IS NOT HERE TO GET US TO A BAD PLACE. UM I NEED $100,000 UNIT. I MEAN, WHERE AM I GOING BEHIND THAT IN MCKINNEY ? I HAVE A MORTGAGE $420,000 OR SOMETHING IN BLUE RIDGE WAY OUT IN THE BOONIES AND I SAID OKAY, THAT THAT'LL WORK JUST TO HAVE SOME FREEDOM OF MIND. BUT PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT US. THE SMALL PEOPLE.

ITEMS, THIS PORTION OF THE JENNY CONSISTS OF ITEMS REQUIRING INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL. FIRST TIME IS 230666 CITIZEN INPUT ON FISCAL YEAR 2023 24 BUDGET MR HOLLOWAY. GOOD GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARK HOLLWAY, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY. WE VISITED QUITE A WHILE ON FRIDAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE. I DO HAVE A FEW SLIDES TONIGHT. THIS IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO OFFER ANY INPUT ON THE 2024 BUDGET THAT THEY MAY HAVE. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING. WE WILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE ON SEPTEMBER, THE FIFTH ALONG WITH A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE AND WILL ADOPT THE BUDGET AND THE AND THE TAX RATE ON SEPTEMBER THE FIFTH WITH THAT I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES, YOU'LL PROBABLY RECOGNIZE THEM FROM FRIDAY, BUT I'LL GO THROUGH THEM FAIRLY QUICKLY. UH JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE 2020 FOR[00:15:05]
FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET HIGH LEVEL UH, THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET. UH AH IS PROPOSING TO DECREASE THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BY THREE CENTS, 2.427513 THE CURRENT TAX RATES ABOUT 0.457485 , SO IT'S RIGHT AT THREE CENTS. SECOND POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IS OUR SALES TAXES DO REMAIN QUITE STRONG. WE'RE SEEING FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 ABOUT A 5% BUMP OVER FISCAL YEAR 22 AND WE'RE PROJECTING THAT 5% WE'VE SEEN THAT KIND OF LEVEL OFF. WE'RE PROJECTING THAT FOR FISCAL YEAR 24 AS WELL. THIS BUDGET WILL INCLUDE STEP INCREASES FOR ALL GENERAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. AS LONG AS OUR PLAN STEP INCREASES FOR OUR SWORN PERSONNEL. WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE FUNDING OUR STREET MAINTENANCE LEVELS AT THE WE AT THE LEVELS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH THE ACCELERATED TIME FRAME THAT WE PUT FORWARD AND WE WILL BE PROVIDING STAFFING IN THE 24 BUDGET PROPOSED BUDGET. QUITE A BIT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, POLICE AND FIRE. UM AND THEN YOU KNOW SOME OF OUR OTHER DEPARTMENTS. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE DRONE FUND. VERY BIG BROADVIEW WON'T GO INTO DETAIL LIKE WE DID ON FRIDAY. REVENUES PROJECTED ABOUT $202.5 MILLION HALF OF THAT BEING OR JUST A LITTLE OVER HALF OF THAT BEING, UH, PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS.WE'RE VERY PROUD TO SEE THAT NUMBER DECREASING OVER TIME. OUR RELIANCE ON THOSE PROPERTY TAXES. WE'RE SEEING THIS STILL INCREASED SALES TAXES AND SOME OF OUR OTHER REVENUES, SO LET'S SEE THAT PART CONTINUED TO SHRINK ON THE PROPERTY TAX SIDE AS WE BECOME LESS DEPENDENT ON THOSE ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, SAME $202.5 MILLION BUDGET, A BALANCED BUDGET AS WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT, UM IT'S ABOUT $11.9 MILLION MORE THAN LAST YEAR'S PROPOSED BUDGET 6% OVERALL INCREASE. I WILL POINT OUT POLICE AND FIRE BEING ABOUT 47% OF THE OVERALL PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 24 ON THE GENERAL FUND SIDE. WE DO. WE ARE PROPOSING ABOUT 30 TO NEW POSITIONS ON THE GENERAL FUND FOR FISCAL YEAR. 24 YOU CAN SEE A LIST OF THEM HERE. I WON'T READ THROUGH. ALL OF THEM WILL POINT OUT THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO ADD ABOUT NINE SWORN PERSONNEL IN POLICE AND SIX SWORN PERSONNEL IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SO PUBLIC SAFETY, ADDING OVER HALF OF THE NEW POSITIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 24. BRIEFLY JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON THE WATER AND WASTE WATER FUND. UM WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM BELIEVE HEARD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT IS, IS WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. WE DO ANTICIPATE ANOTHER DEBT SALE FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS IN FISCAL YEAR 24 AND WE HAVE ABOUT 11 NEW PERSONNEL ADDED IN THE WATER AND WASTE WATER FUND. WITH THAT WE WILL HAVE AN INCREASE IN OUR PROJECTING AN INCREASE IN OUR WATER WASTEWATER RATES FOR SIX MINUTES. WATER DISTRICT IS INCREASING OUR WATER RATES BY ABOUT 9% AND THERE ARE MYRIAD OF REASONS THAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW. FRANKLY WE'VE TALKED ABOUT INFLATION. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE GOT A LARGE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET, JUST LIKE WE DO SO. WE WILL BE PROPOSING THE INCREASE HOURS ON OUR SIDE TO PASS THROUGH THOSE RATES AT ABOUT 8% WE ARE WE WERE ABLE TO. WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT BY WITH OUR GROWTH, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVE PASTOR JUST QUITE AS MUCH AS THEY'RE PASSING ON TO US. SO THIS WILL ALLOW US TO KEEP THE WATER AND WASTE WATER FUND SELF SUFFICIENT. AND I HAVE RUN THROUGH THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY. UM BUT I DO WANT TO GIVE THE PUBLIC OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT ONCE AGAIN.
SEPTEMBER 5TH IS BUSY NIGHT FOR US ON THE BUDGET, HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS PASSING OF THE OF THE BUDGET PASSING OF THE PROPERTY TAX RATES AND ALSO, ANY CHANGES IN THE FIELD ORDINANCES WILL BE THAT NIGHT AS WELL. WITH THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS OR ALLOW ANY PUBLIC SPEAKING QUESTIONS FOR MARK. LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT FOR THOSE WHO ARE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE OR LISTENING TO THIS THAT ON FRIDAY, AND YOU'D MENTIONED FRIDAY A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT WE HAVE A BUDGET WORK SESSION WHERE THE COUNCIL GETS TOGETHER WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, CITY MANAGER AND THE HEADS OF EACH AND ALL THE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING UNLESSNL THEY'VE SPENT ALL THE TIME TO GO ON AND REVIEW IT.

THERE'S A LOT FOR CAR SALES. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND HAD DISCUSSION WITH HIM ABOUT THE NEED FOR THIS EASEMENT. HE DOES NOT WANT TO TALK TO US. HE DOES NOT WANT TO, UM, ENTERTAIN US HAVING THE EASEMENT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DISPLACE WHERE HIS CAR CZAR DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD AFTER CONSTRUCTION IS OVER. WE WILL ALLOW HIM TO COME AND PARK. HIS CAR IS BACK ON THERE AND USED A LOT AS IS WE JUST NEED TO BE IN THERE TO DO THE WORK, SO HE HAS BEEN NON RESPONSIVE IN OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH HIM. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THE COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT ON ALL IMMINENT DOMAIN CASES. THIS IS A LAST RESORT. UM, WE WANT TO TRY TO MAKE A FAIR AND EQUITABLE OFFER TO COMPENSATE THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR THE USE OF THEIR LAND . THIS IS NOT A TAKING. THIS IS A LEGAL PROCESS WHERE WE DETERMINE THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY. SO WE DO AN APPRAISAL. WE MAKE AN INITIAL OFFER TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

IF WE COME TO AN AGREEMENT, WE WILL NEGOTIATE WITH THEM AND YOU KNOW, AND, UM, PAY THAT PRICE IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO NEGOTIATE, LIKE IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT AND YOU HAVE A COMMISSIONER'S COURT WILL PROVE SELECT A GROUP OF THREE SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS.

[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract with Frontier Texas Ventures I, LLC dba Frontier Waste Solutions for the Collection of Solid Waste and Recycling]
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CONTRACT WITH FRONTIER TEXAS VENTURES LLC , DBA FRONTIER WASTE SOLUTIONS FOR THE COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING. THANK YOU, MAYOR FULLER AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL STEVE HILTON ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER HERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON A WRESTLING REFUSE AND RECYCLING AGREEMENT AND POTENTIALLY CLOSURE OF THIS ITEM IF THE CITY COUNCIL CONCURS WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL GET TO DURING THE PRESENTATION. SO OUR AGENDA FOR TODAY'S WILL GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A HISTORY AND THE CITY COUNCIL DELIBERATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS AROUND OUR REFUSE AND RECYCLING RFP. PROBABLY THE MEAT OF THIS DISCUSSION FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT WILL BE BOUND AROUND THOSE NEXT THREE BULLET POINTS WHERE I'LL GO OVER THE RFP WHAT THE CRITERIA WAS THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AS PART OF OUR OVERALL REFUSE AND RECYCLING SOLID WASTE PLAN. WHY STAFF IS MAKING THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE ARE IN TERMS OF TWO DIFFERENT CONTRACTS , REFUSE CONTRACT FOR FRONTIER AND RECYCLING CONTRACT FOR BALCONES WILL ALSO GET INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THE NEGOTIATION DUE DILIGENCE AT THE CITY COUNCIL ASKED US TO DO AND THEN WITH A COUPLE OF CONTRACTS, HIGHLIGHTS AND ULTIMATELY RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO HOW DID WE GET HERE? AS THE COUNCIL RECALLS AT THE END OF 2022, WE ISSUED AN RFP FOR REFUSE AND RECYCLING. THAT PROPOSAL WAS DUE ON FEBRUARY 16TH. THOSE PROPOSALS WERE GOOD FOR 180 DAYS. WHICH BRINGS US TO THE SECOND BULLET POINT DOWN HERE. THE RPS ARE GOOD THROUGH FOR ALL OF THE VENDORS THAT SUBMITTED THROUGH AUGUST 15TH ON MAY 23RD MEETING AT THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED STAFF ENTER INTO EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATIONS WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES BASED ON THE SCORING IN THE RFP. AGAIN FROM THE REFUGE SIDE THAT WAS FRONTIER AND THEN THE RECYCLING SIDE THAT WAS BILL CONES. THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES WILL GIVE A LITTLE MORE DETAIL AS TO WHY STAFF MADE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO THE SCORING CRITERIA AS LAID OUT IN THE RFP. THAT'S ALL THE PROPOSALS SAW. HOW THE RPS WOULD BE SCORED WAS INTO SIX DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. I WANT TO FIRST FOCUS ON THE FIRST FIVE, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THE POINT TOTAL FOR THOSE FIRST FIVE CRITERIA, MINIMUM RFP REQUIREMENTS, EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS PROPOSED APPROACH IN SERVICING THE COMMUNITY DEVIATION AND COMPLIANCE. AND FINANCIAL LITIGATION HISTORY, THOSE THAT UP TO 45 POINTS THOSE WERE SCORED. THOSE PROPOSALS WERE SCORED BY AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW COMMITTEE OF FIVE STAFF MEMBERS , AND THEY DID NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE PRICING INFORMATION THAT WAS CONCLUDED IN THE PROPOSALS. THAT IS BASICALLY A MATH PROBLEM THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT WAS AT THE END, AND THERE IS BASICALLY AN AUTOMATIC WAY THAT THOSE WERE SCORED BASED ON THE PRICING THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE RSP. SO THAT FIVE MEMBER TEAM SCORED THOSE FIRST FIVE CRITERIA[00:30:02]
AND HAD A TOTAL OUT OF 45 POINTS. AND THEN AS WE MOVE INTO THE COST OF THE COLLECTION OF THE PROCESSING PROCESSING IN THIS CASE MEANS RECYCLING THE MAX POINTS THAT YOU COULD GET FOR THAT SECTION, WHICH AUTOMATICALLY PER THE RFP WOULD GO TO THE LOW BID IN EACH OF THOSE RESPECTIVE CATEGORIES, SO THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT FOR REFUSE AND A LITTLE BIT FOR RECYCLING WILL STOP THERE FOR A SECOND. IS THAT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL? VERY GOOD. SO THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS KIND OF A LOT ON THIS SLIDE, SO I WANT TO WALK THE COUNCIL THROUGH IT. SO AT THE TOP WORD, SAYS SERVICE. WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT PROPOSED ON THE COLLECTION SIDE OR BASICALLY, YOU CAN CALL THAT THE REFUGE SIDE OF THIS PROPOSAL, FRONTIER REPUBLIC AND WASTE CONNECTIONS, AND THEN WE HAD THREE COMPANIES AS WELL THAT PROPOSED ON THE RECYCLING SIDE, REPUBLIC AND WASTE CONNECTIONS. DUAL PROPOSAL THEY PROPOSE BOTH ON THE REFUGE SIDE AND ON THE RECYCLING SIDE BALCONIES. RECYCLING IS ONE COMPANY WHO OFFERED TWO DIFFERENT PROPOSALS FOR THE R F P. IT WAS A SEVEN YEAR AGREEMENT THEY OFFERED AS AN ALTERNATIVE IN THERE, THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A 15 YEAR AGREEMENT BECAUSE THEY WILL BE CONSTRUCTING NEARLY A $65 MILLION FACILITY, UM, TO SERVICE MCKINNEY. AND NORTH TEXAS AREA. THERE IS A SLIGHT DISCOUNT AND WHAT THE PRICING WOULD BE IF THE CITY WANTED TO ENTERTAIN A 15 YEAR AGREEMENT. SO BASICALLY THE WAY THAT THE MATH WORKS HERE IF YOU SLIDE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RANK AND THE POINTS ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE SLIDE SO AS AN EXAMPLE. LET'S START AND FOCUS ON FRONTIER FOR COLLECTION, WHICH IS THE REFUGE SIDE WHEN YOU COMBINE THE RFP AND THEIR PRICING BASED ON CURRENT VOLUME AND THE PRICES THEY PUT IN THE RSP AND YOU ADD IN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL COLLECTION THAT ONE CAME OUT TO AN ANNUAL COST OF 14,171,000. IN THE WAY THAT THE MATH WORKS IN THESE SO AS AN EXAMPLE FOR REPUBLIC, BUT IT COST OF 20,568,700. THAT IS ABOUT 68% FOR THE 14 MILLION IS ABOUT 68% OF THAT 20,000,020 0.5 MILLION NUMBER. SO WHAT WE DID IS AUTOMATICALLY IN THIS CASE, FRONTIER GOT THE MAXIMUM 55 POINTS. AND THEN BECAUSE THAT ONE WAS 68% WE TOOK 68% OF 55. WHERE IS WHERE YOU ARRIVE AT THE SCORE IN THE PRICING IN THIS CASE FOR REPUBLIC FOR 37.9 AND WASTE CONNECTIONS, THAT NUMBER WAS ABOUT 83% SO YOU DO THE MATH THERE. 83% OF 55 IS HOW WE GET TO THE WASTE CONNECTIONS NUMBER AND YOU COULD DO THAT SAME MATH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MATRIX HERE. AND THAT'S HOW WE DETERMINE WHAT THE SCORING WAS THE PRICING FOR EACH OF THEIR PROPOSALS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE WILL STOP THERE FOR A SECOND. SO WHEN HE HAD THE PRICING COMPONENT, SO MAXIMUM 55 FOR THE HIGH, SO THAT'S FRONTIER AND THE REFUGE SIDE AND A MAXIMUMUM OF 5 IN THIS CASE, BALCONIES AND THE RECYCLING SIDE AND YOU PUT ALL THOSE INTO OUR OVERALL MATRIX, SO WE HAD A POTENTIAL TOTAL OF 45. AND THOSE FIRST FIVE CRITERIA THAT WAS IN THE RSP AND A MAX OF 55 AND THE BASICALLY THE PRICING SIDE OF IT AND WE PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL, THE RESULTS OF THE RFP AND THE SCORING BACK IN MAY. FRONTIER WASTE SOLUTIONS WITH OUR TOP PROVIDER FOR COLLECTION IN BALCONES RECYCLING WAS THEIR TOP PROVIDER FOR RECYCLING. I THINK I MAY HAVE BEEN SMOKING FRONTIER THAT WAS FOR COLLECTION. SO WHAT? THE WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID JUST GIVE US AUTHORIZATION, TENDERING TO EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THOSE TWO RESPECTIVE FIRMS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. UH SO THE STAFF AND THE CITY'S ATTORNEY OFFICE. I CERTAINLY WANT TO THANK ANNA LATHAM, WHO DID THE LION'S SHARE OF THE WORK FROM FROM ILLEGAL ASPECT AND CONTRACTS BACK AND FORTH, AS WAS A LOT OF OTHER STAFF. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATED CONTRACTS WITH BOTH OF THESE FIRMS AND THEIR BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION AND POTENTIAL ADOPTION. UM FROM THE DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL. WE ALSO COMPLETED DUE DILIGENCE TRIPS TO PEARLAND, TEXAS, WHICH IS A FRONTIER CLIENT. AND AUSTIN , TEXAS, WHICH IS A CLIENT OF BALCONES. DURING JUNE OF THIS YEAR, BOTH OF THOSE REFERENCE CHECKS WENT VERY WELL. WE ASKED , COMPLETED ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS ON BOTH OF THE CORPORATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD ABILITY TO BUILD BUILDINGS THAT THEY NEED TO SECURE THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY NEEDED TO THOSE. THOSE REFERENCE CHECKS ALSO PASSED OUT IN A POSITIVE MANNER. SO THE CONTRACT HIGHLIGHTS SHOULD THE CITY COUNCIL BE SO INCLINED TO WITH THAT PIECE TONIGHT SERVICE FOR BOTH OF THESE CONTRACTS WOULD START OCTOBER 1 OF 2024 THE CONTRACT TERMS FOR BALCONES, THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT LONGER TERM THAT BALCONIES HAD IN THEIR RFP RESPONSE, SO IT WOULD BE AN INITIAL 15 YEAR TERM. AND THEN TO POTENTIAL OPTIONAL TERMS OF FIVE YEARS AND FRONTIER SIDE AN INITIAL TERM OF SEVEN YEARS AND OPTIONAL RENEWAL TERMS OF EIGHT YEARS. FIVE YEARS AND FIVE YEARS , SO BOTH CONTRACTS HAVE A POTENTIAL MAX. ALL OPTIONS ARE EXERCISED. 25 YEARS. THERE IS AN ANNUAL THERE IS AN ANNUAL COST[00:35:07]
ESCALATOR INSIDE, TIED TO THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX. THE CPD GARBAGE. IT'S A SPECIALIZED CP THAT IS AROUND THE SOLID WASTE INDUSTRY, BUT THEY MAY NOT EXCEED 5% IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. UM, AND THERE ARE ALSO DETAILED TRANSITIONS PLANS WE HAVE ABOUT A 14 MONTHS LEEWAY BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME THAT EACH OF THESE RESPECTIVE VENDORS WILL TAKE OVER SERVICE. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT THEY PROVIDED SERVICE FOR. HOW WERE THEY ABLE TO TRANSITION? WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT? SUCCESSFULLY THOSE REFERENCE CHECKS HAVE CHECKED OUT POSITIVELY, AND THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL THAT GOES INTO THOSE PLANS AS WELL AS THERE ARE POTENTIAL PENALTY PENALTIES, IF, AS AN EXAMPLE OF FRONTIER DOES NOT SECURE THEIR SITE THAT'S GOING TO SERVICE MCKINNEY BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. THERE ARE ALSO DEADLINES IN THERE FOR ONE EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED WHEN ROLLING STACK NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW COMPANIES IS AS SEAMLESS AS POSSIBLE. UM THIS IS MY LAST SLIDE, BUT I CERTAINLY I THINK I WOULD BE REMISS SHOULD THE CITY COUNCIL AGREE WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS. I ABSOLUTELY WOULD WANT TO THANK WASTE CONNECTIONS FURTHER SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. WE WOULD STILL HAVE 14 MONTHS WITH THEM. AS MR BARRY POINTED OUT TODAY, THEY HAVE BEEN CERTAINLY INADEQUATE PROVIDER FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY FROM STAFFS PERSPECTIVE, THE REASON YOU GO THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS LIKE THIS. IS TO SEE YOU DO A CHECK AND YOU FIND IS THERE A BETTER VALUE OUT THERE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY? IS THERE A WAY TO ENHANCE SERVICES? FROM WHAT? WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW, AT LEAST FROM STAFFS PERSPECTIVE. THIS RFP ACCOMPLISHES THOSE THINGS IN THREE WAYS IT WILL PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY WITH AT LEAST SIMILAR SERVICE TO WHAT THEY'RE GETTING RIGHT NOW FROM WASTE CONNECTIONS. IT'S GOING TO SECURE IT AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE TO THE TUNE OF IN THIS CASE. AND THE REFUGE SIDE ABOUT $3 MILLION LESS PER YEAR. UM AND IT'S ALSO GOING TO GREATLY ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO RECYCLE IN A WAY THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO BEFORE. WHEN, WHEN, WHEN YOU HAVE A $66 MILLION FACILITY WHILE IT WILL NOT BE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, BUT WE'LL HAVE A 95% EFFICIENCY RATING FOR THE MATERIAL THAT GOES IN THERE. THAT IS A LARGE IMPROVEMENT OVER WHERE WE'RE AT NOW. AT THE END OF THE DAY. THERE IS A REASON TO GO THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS. THERE'S A REASON YOU ARE TRANSPARENT ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO SCORE IT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT MOVING FORWARD, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT STAFF HAS DONE AND I'LL BE GLAD TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTION FOR STEVE. OVER HERE. I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, STEVE, I THINK YOU'VE DONE EXCELLENT JOB OF PRESENTING THIS FOR ME. AS A CONSUMER OF THIS THINGS YOU HIT ON THERE AT THE END. WOULD BE WHAT MATTERS TO ME. MY SERVICE CONTINUES TO BE WHAT IT IS. FOR A BETTER PRICE, AND I GET A BETTER OUTCOME. AND SO I APPRECIATE THE DUE DILIGENCE. I'VE PUT INTO THIS AND THANK YOU, SIR. WORK. THANK YOU. RECYCLING COMPONENT IS A BIG CONCERN FOR A LOT OF OUR CONSTITUENTS AND RESIDENTS HERE ARE WANTING TO BE ABLE TO RECYCLE AND KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE PLANET. AND SO I THINK, MOVING FORWARD AS WE'RE LOOKING IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO MAKE A CHANGE . ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HEAR THAT YOU HAVE 75 EMPLOYEES THAT ARE LIVING IN MCKINNEY. SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE LIGHTLY. UM BUT FROM A STANDPOINT OF TRYING TO BE AS GREEN AS WE CAN POSSIBLY BE, RECYCLING HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE IMPORTANT, AND SO I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS THAT YOU YOU ALL WENT THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE GOING TO STEP OUR GAME UP IN THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEAH I APPRECIATE IT TO STEVE. YOU KNOW, WE DEAL WITH SO MUCH UP HERE TO DEALS WITH INFLATION AND INCREASED COST. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, BUT THE WORK STAFF AND YOU'VE DONE ON THIS IS, YOU KNOW, HELP MITIGATE THE COST TO OUR TOWN, AND I AGREE WITH EVERYONE WHAT EVERYONE SAID ABOUT WASTE CONNECTIONS. I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 27 YEARS AND IT WAS I E S I WHEN YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY AND WASTE CONNECTIONS TOOK OVER. THEY'VE BEEN GREAT STEWARDS OF THIS JOB AND VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE. UM BUT I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK. THANK YOU, SIR. STEVE I THINK YOU WASTE CONNECTION HAS BEEN STATED FOR THE WORK YOU'VE DONE TODAY. IS THERE A MOTION?

ADAM 230001 S U P SIX CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING TO[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit Request to Allow for a Utility Substation (Oncor Bloomdale Switch Station), Located Approximately 1,300 Feet East of U.S. 75 and North of Shawnee Drive, and Accompanying Ordinance]
CONSIDER AND ACT ON A SPECIFIC USE. PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR UTILITY SUBSTATION ENCORE BLUEBELL SWITCH STATION LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1300 FT. USED TO BE US 75 IN NORTH OF SHAWNEE DRIVE AND ACCOMPANYING COORDINATES. KEVIN COUNCIL. KATE STRICKLAND, PLANNING MANAGER FOR CITY MCKINNEY. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR UTILITY SUBSTATION TO ALLOW FOR THE ENCORE SWITCH STATION. THIS ONE MIGHT FEEL FAMILIAR BECAUSE IT HAS COME BEFORE Y'ALL BEFORE. UM SINCE THIS ITEM WAS LAST BEFORE A COUNCIL IN JULY, THE APPLICANT HAS CONTINUED TO WORK WITH STAFF TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE PREVIOUS CONCERNS. MOST NOTABLY, THE APPLICANT HAS MOVED THE ACCESS TO THE SITE. TO BE ACCESSING FROM HIGHWAY 75. ADDITIONALLY THEY HAVE ALSO PUSHED THE SUBSTATION OF A BIT FARTHER FROM THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND FROM THE SCHOOL. I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS, BUT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS S U P REQUEST. ADDITIONALLY I DID WANT TO NOTE THAT AT THE MAY 23RD 2023 PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING THEY DID VOTE 70 TO DENY RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE SCP REQUEST. THIS DOES RESULT IN A SUPERMAJORITY REQUIREMENT FROM Y'ALL FOR ANY APPROVAL OF THIS S U P. I WOULD I WOULD ADD TO THAT THAT THE VOTE AT P AND C WAS PRIOR TO ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. YES SIR. THERE'S BEEN QUITE A FEW BUT A FEW THINGS MITIGATING THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AND APPRECIATE THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES THERE THAT HAVE BEEN VERY VERY ACTIVE AND ENGAGED TO REALLY PUSH FOR MITIGATING FACTORS THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. JUST IN YOUR WORK ON THIS HAS BEEN GREAT , AND YOU'VE BEEN QUITE AN ADVOCATE FOR YOUR DISTRICT AND FOR THAT FOR THE GROUP AND THE AND THE, UM AND THE COMMUNITY THERE. STRICKLAND, WOULD YOU? BULGED ME AND, UH, COULD YOU DRAW A LITTLE WINE ON THERE AND SHOW WHERE THE ACCESS WAS PRIOR TO THIS PROPOSAL, OF COURSE. SO THE PREVIOUS ACCESS I WILL DO IT IN TWO COLORS. SO THE PREVIOUS ACCESS WAS HERE IN BLUE.ACCESSING ALL THE WAY TO SPUR 1 95. THEY HAVE NOW CHANGED THEIR ACCESS TO COME OFF OF HIGHWAY 75. TO ACCESS THE UTILITY SUBSTATION. AND THAT. PRETTY MUCH KEEPS THEM FROM TREADING UPON THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE EAST. THAT IS CORRECT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS THAT WE DID HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS ILLUSTRATED THE SAME AS YOU ILLUSTRATED THE CURRENT ACCESS POINT. THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN PUSHED FURTHER AWAY SCREEN WALLS , LANDSCAPING NUMBER OF THINGS THAT IS CORRECT. ALRIGHT UM THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS A WELL DOES WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT FOR THIS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO IT? UM I DON'T BELIEVE SO. UNLESS YOU ALL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR US, BUT WILL BE SITTING HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM US. JUST JUST ASK. THANKS, SIR. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. DO SHOW THAT I HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. SAM STRIKER. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SAM STRIKER . I MET 10 20 EVERS DRIVE IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. I'M GONNA BE SHORT LIKE I COME UP HERE AND I RUN OUT THE TIME. EVERY TIME. UM BUT ULTIMATELY I THINK A COUPLE OF POINTS I WANT TO HIT IT. I JUST WISH WE WERE BETTER INFORMED. UM I THINK THERE COULD BE A BETTER PROTOCOL FOR THIS. I FEEL LIKE WE WERE 1 FT. OUT OF THE NOTIFICATION LINE FOR THIS, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S KIND OF CRUMMY. I THINK THAT THAT MADE THIS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT FOR US AND TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND REALLY SEE WHAT WAS BEFORE US HERE. UM AND TO BE REALLY HONEST, YOU KNOW? I THINK THERE ARE EASIER WAYS TO FIX THAT. UM BUT YOU KNOW, WHILE THE STATE OF TEXAS AND YOU KNOW ENCORE ULTIMATELY FAILED PECAN RICH. I JUST WANT TO SAY, I THINK MCKINNEY STOOD THEIR GROUND AND VOUCHED FOR US, PARTICULARLY COUNCILMAN BELLER. AND THAT IS SUPER APPRECIATED BY US. UM OFF OF PRINCIPLE AND REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY. I CANNOT GET BEHIND THIS JUST BECAUSE I DO FEEL LIKE ULTIMATELY IS THAT IT IS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS HERE. I
[00:45:03]
DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING I'M JUST SUPER JOYOUS ABOUT GETTING BEHIND HERE. IT IS ULTIMATELY A DETRIMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. UM HOWEVER, I AM THANKFUL FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. AND I'M THANKFUL FOR Y'ALL NOT LETTING EAST MCKINNEY BE THE PUNCHING BAG. WHICH IS I FEEL LIKE HAS BEEN SORT OF THE STEREOTYPE. AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE MOVING AGAINST THAT RIGHT NOW. AND I'M THANKFUL FOR HOW YOU MOVED TOWARDS US. AND THAT MEANS A WHOLE LOT SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SAM. DON'T SHOW ANYONE ELSE HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. BUT IF HE DID MAKE A TRIP DOWN HERE, DO YOU LIKE TO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. SEEN NONE ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR MAYOR, DO HAVE, UH, I GUESS TO CLARIFYING POINTS THAT HAVE SPOKEN TO MR HAUSER ABOUT BUT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THIS SITE, AND I GUESS I'M ASKING THE APPLICANT THIS THE. THE ENGINEERING THAT HAS BEEN DONE BELIEVES THAT THE POINT THAT IS ESSENTIALLY CAN'T EVEN DRAW ON. THIS THING IS ESSENTIALLY THERE. AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER. IS SIMILAR IN ELEVATION TO THE POINT THAT WILL BE HERE. UM, SO THAT ULTIMATELY WHEN WE HAVE IT OUT FOOT WALL THAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE AN 8 FT WALL. AND IT DOESN'T THAT THAT ELEVATION DOESN'T CAN CONTINUE TO DECLINE. TO THE NORTH THERE. SO THAT THE LOWER WHEN WE START THAT WALL I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT THE CORRECT WE PROVIDED THAT ELEVATION TO MR HAUSER THIS MORNING. AND THEN MY SECOND ASK IS ON. THIS S U P BELIEVE WHAT IS SHOWN HERE IS A LANDSCAPING EASEMENT THAT Y'ALL ARE GRANTING US. AND ESSENTIALLY ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT IN THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CITY, IT WAS NOT FULLY DETERMINED EXACTLY WHERE THE CITY WOULD WANT TO LANDSCAPE AND SO WHAT WE HAVE TRIED TO DO IS WE HAVE TRIED TO ALLOW THAT ENTIRE BORDER AVAILABLE, SHOULD YOU SO CHOOSE TO DO IT? AND THERE'S ALSO BEEN SOME DISCUSSIONS OR MAYBE A COUPLE SPOTS WHERE THAT NEEDS TO BE SLIGHTLY WIDER OR ROUNDED.AND WE HAVE JUST COMMITTED TO THE CITY THAT WE WILL WORK WITH YOU AS LONG AS IT IS ON THAT EXTERIOR LINE OF THE PROPERTY, NOT INTERIOR TO THE PROPERTY, AND THAT THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS GETTING AT IN. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF VALUE TO THE CITY OR AND I WOULD EVEN INCLUDE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THAT I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THEIR VALUE. IS ON THAT SOUTHWESTERN PART OF THE PROPERTY LINE. BUT I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO I CLEAR THIS THING? CLEAR ANNOTATION.
THERE IT IS. OKAY SO FROM THE STANDPOINT OF VALUE FOR THE CITY THIS AREA OVER HERE ISN'T NECESSARILY VALUABLE FROM A LIKE THAT'S THE WHERE THEY EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE. IT'S THIS AREA HERE. THAT IS THE. YOU KNOW, AREA THAT WE WANT TO BLOCK. VISUAL. FOR AND SO IT WOULD BE MORE VALUABLE TO ME. IS YOUR CONTINUE ALONG THIS? OBVIOUSLY THE S U. P HAS PRESENTED THE WAY IT'S PRESENTED. BUT TO HAVE MORE ROOM IN THAT AREA SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO BLOCK THE VISUAL IN THEIR, UM, BECAUSE BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WE'VE GOTTA PARK THAT RIGHT NOW. AS A YOU KNOW, 180 DEGREE OR 220 DEGREE VISUAL. OUT HERE, AND WE'RE ESSENTIALLY CUTTING THIS OUT, SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS VISUAL THAT GOES THIS WAY. IS EVEN BETTER, SO I DON'T WANT TO PUT A BUNCH OF TREES OVER THERE. I WANT TO PUT A BUNCH OF TREES ON THEM AND THAT AND THAT. OFFER HIS OWN. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR WORKING WITH US ON THAT. I GUESS MY COMMENT IS MORE WHAT'S PRESENTED AS AN IDEAL IF YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE HELPFUL AND GETTING A GOOD OUTCOME FOR US TO BE UNDERSTOOD.
VERY APPRECIATED. LOT OF DRAWING . I THINK THAT'S MORE DRAWING THAN I'VE EVER DONE. THINK IT IS . THANK YOU KNOW WHO THE ARTIST IS VERY PROUD SHE WOULD NOT BE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UH SAM, I APOLOGIZE. I DID NOT CATCH YOUR LAST NAME, BUT I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR NEIGHBORS BECAUSE YOU GUYS STOOD UP TO A GIANT THE MAYOR AND I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ARGUE IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. IN THE PAST, AND I WILL TELL YOU IT'S NOT A FAIR FIGHT. YOU SAT HERE TONIGHT, AND YOU WITNESSED THIS COUNCIL TAKE PROPERTY FOR TEMPORARY UTILITY EASEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT TO PROVIDE UTILITIES. ALL THIS COMPANY HAS TO DO IS PROVE THAT THERE IS A NECESSITY SOMEWHERE. AND THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO PUT IN WHAT THEY WANT. UH HUH. AND YOU GUYS GOT A LOT OF CONCESSIONS BECAUSE OF THE GOOD WORK OF YOUR CITY STAFF
[00:50:03]
. YOU'RE CITY ATTORNEY, UH, COUNCILMAN BELLER. PEOPLE WHO WENT BACK FOR YOU BECAUSE THE NECESSITY DIDN'T COME FROM MCKINNEY. UH AND YOU'RE BASICALLY ASKING DAVID TO GO SLAY THE GIANT. YOU SEE A AND YOU GUYS DID A TREMENDOUS JOB AND GETTING THE CONCESSIONS THAT YOU DID, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE APPLICANT. FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE WITH US AND GET YOU TO THIS POINT, AND I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK AT IT AS A HUGE VICTORY ON YOUR PART BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE GONE HORRIBLY THE WAY YOU DIDN'T WANT IT TO GO. AND SO I'M NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR IT. I'M GIVING CREDIT WHERE IT BELONGS WITH OUR STAFF AND WITH COUNCILMAN BELLER, BUT THEY DID A GOOD JOB FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU GUYS STOOD UP FOR YOURSELF. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU. AND AGAIN THANK YOU TO THE APPLICANT. MR MARY, I WANT TO ADD THAT, UM YOU KNOW, MR STRIKER, WE VISIT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. AND, UM WE DO HAVE AN APPETITE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TONIGHT AND BEYOND. TO REMEDIATE THIS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY FOR EVERYBODY UP THERE. I MADE THE COMMENT BACK A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I HAD KIDS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THIS WOULD HAVE DROVE ME NUTS. BUT I'VE LEARNED A LOT OVER THIS CASE THAT WHAT THE MAYOR PRO TEM JUST SAID, IS THAT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH LEVERAGE WE HAVE. I DO APPRECIATE WHAT ENCORES DONE IN TERMS OF HELPING US MITIGATE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP MITIGATE IT. FOR THESE FOLKS, AND I JUST ASKED, YOU KNOW, PRETEND TO YOUR KIDS THERE AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE BEST OUTCOME THAT WE CAN FOR THESE FOLKS, SO I'VE YET TO SEE ANYTHING IN MY ROUGHLY 1920 MONTHS ON COUNCIL THAT APPROACHES THIS WITH RESPECT TO THE GRIP THAT YOU GUYS SHOWED IN GETTING THE RESULTS THAT WE'VE GOT HERE TODAY. UM, THIS TOOK A LOT OF PEOPLE TOO. GET THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME WE COULD GET AND I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE.THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING, EVERYTHING HAS SAID. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID AND I SAID IT TO EARLIER AS WELL. UM THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DID WAS GREAT AND ADMIRABLE, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY FROM CORPS WHO IS TAKEN SOMEWHAT OF A BEATING AND COMMENTS THAT THEY THEY ALSO YOU KNOW, THEY DID HAVE ANOTHER PATH THEY COULD HAVE GONE THEY COULD HAVE SAID. NO UM, KNOWING THAT THIS WOULD ULTIMATELY GO TO THE PUC WILL BE IN LITIGATION, AND ULTIMATELY, IT'S A PRETTY STRONG BET THAT THE PUC WOULD HAVE RULED THAT THEY COULD HAVE PUT IT WHERE THEY INITIALLY WANTED TO PUT IT. AND SO AS MUCH AS I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID THAT'S STILL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH IF IT WASN'T FOR THE WILLINGNESS OF ENCORE. I WANT TO GIVE THEM SOME ACCOLADES FOR BEING WILLING TO LISTEN, REGARDLESS OF HOW IT MAY HAVE STARTED OFF FOR PERCEIVED TO HAVE STARTED OFF. THEY MADE THE DECISION TO DO ALL THESE AGREE TO ALL THESE MITIGATING FACTORS KNOWING THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD ANOTHER PATH AS WELL. THEY COULD GO DOWN, WHICH WOULD HAVE WOULD PROBABLY BE, I THINK INEVITABLY BE IN THEIR FAVOR, SO I DON'T WANT TO. LOSE OR MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU, TOM COURSE. WELL BECAUSE YOU GUYS DID MAKE THE DECISION TO NEGOTIATE AND TO MAKE THESE CONCESSIONS SO THEY DESERVE THAT CREDIT AS WELL AND NOT JUST TO BE BEAT UP ON SO WITH THAT EMOTION. LIKE MUCH AND WE APPROVE THEM. THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IMPROVE THE MATTER AS PRESENTED SECOND. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. RIGHT? THAT IS THE END OF OUR AGENDA. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS WE'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH CITIZEN COMMENTS AT THE
[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]
BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. ARE THERE ANY COUNCIL? COMMENTS WE CAN START DOWN AT THAT END COUNCILMAN BROTHER IF YOU HAVE ANY, UM, I JUST, UM EVERYBODY ON THIS DAIS KNOWS THIS, BUT IT'S ALWAYS WORTH REPEATING HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS CITY. SPEND THEIR EXTRA TIME OR THEIR EXTRA EFFORT , HELPING OTHERS AND VOLUNTEERING AND JUST OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I GOT TO SEE A LOT OF EXAMPLES OF THAT ONE WAS BACK TO SCHOOL EVENTS. WHETHER IT WAS THE MACC TOWN GROUP OR H 20, OR LOVE LIFE FOR VARIOUS CHURCHES. THERE WAS A MASSIVE EFFORT TO SEND KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL PREPARED. AND READY AND. THAT IS ALWAYS SEEN AND APPRECIATED FOR ALL THE EVERYBODY WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THAT AND TOGETHER ITEMS AND HANDED OUT ITEMS THAT IS SO[00:55:02]
VALUABLE TO OUR COMMUNITIES THAT KIDS ARE RECEIVE THAT BENEFIT. UM ALSO WENT THIS WEEK WITH COUNCILMAN JONES AND COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN TO A VOLUNTEER. MCKINNEY. UM EVENT WHERE THEY WERE. HELPING NONPROFITS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THERE WAS PROBABLY 15 TO 29 PROFITS IN THE ROOM WITH VARIOUS OPERATIONAL ISSUES. THIS ONE WAS HAPPENED TO BE FUNDRAISING, BUT JUST TO HEAR THEM DIFFERENT NONPROFITS IN THAT ROOM AND WHAT THEY DO AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING FOR PEOPLE.AND THE EFFORT THEY WERE PUTTING IN SO THAT THEY COULD SERVE PEOPLE. IT WAS VALUABLE TO SEE IT WAS GOOD TO SEE. PATRICK LUCKIER COME. COUNCIL INCLUDE TODAY AND I WENT TO VISIT THE FAMILY HEALTH CLINIC ON VIRGINIA. FOR NATIONAL HEALTH CENTER WEEK LAST WEEK. THAT THE TWO OF THAT FACILITY AND IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD REMINDER. THEY QUANTIFIED IT FOR US. HOW MANY? PATIENT VISITS THEY HAVE. HOW MANY, UM, UNIQUE PATIENTS. THEY HAVE OVER THE COURSE AND THE WORK OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO, AS WELL AS HOPE CLINIC AND COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC. IN THIS COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES. AT AN AFFORDABLE OR AT A FREE RATE TO PEOPLE IN NEED IS SUCH A MASSIVE BENEFIT TO THIS COMMUNITY. UM ALSO GOT TO VISIT WITH BUD. AT TAX AID THIS WEEK AND HE WAS TALKING TO ME ABOUT THE WORK OF ABOUT 60 VOLUNTEERS.
UM OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT THREE MONTHS EVERY SPRING. UM, AS THEY PREPARE THANKS RETURNS FOR ABOUT 1500 PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE CITY THAT ARE EITHER LOT OF MODERATE INCOME OR SENIORS AND KIND OF QUANTIFYING THAT UP . IF EVERY ONE OF THOSE HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY A TAX SERVICE OR HAD TO GO TO FOR PROFIT TAXING ENTITY. UM YOU KNOW, THAT'S ABOUT $200,000. THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE WOULD END UP SPENDING ON ON THAT SERVICE. AND BUT INSTEAD THERE ARE 60. PEOPLE WHO GIVE UP THEIR MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS AND SIT AND FILL OUT A TAX RETURN FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE JUST MOST BRUTAL THING EVER. BUT IT AGAIN IT IS JUST WHAT PEOPLE DO, AND UM SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THAT AND THEN LASTLY ON THURSDAY WAS THE KICKOFF OF LEADERSHIP. MCKINNEY I GUESS THAT'S THE INTRODUCTION TO 25 TO 30, MORE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THIS COMMUNITY. THROUGH THEIR VOLUNTEER WORK AND THEIR SERVICE TO OTHERS. AND EXCITED FOR THEM AND THEIR JOURNEY AND THOSE AND APPRECIATE THE CHAMBER AND THE WORK THEY DO TO DO THAT, BUT JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE SEEN IT FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. HOW MANY VOLUNTEER HOURS WE HAVE IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND IT'S HARD TO FATHOM. WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT THANK YOU. HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM? HAVE BEEN THROUGH LEADERSHIP. MCKINNEY. THAT TELLS YOU RIGHT THERE. UH I KIND OF WANTED TO SHOUT OUT TO THE CHAMBER. AND PUTTING THIS PROGRAM TOGETHER AND I WENT TO THAT EVENT ON. I GUESS IT WAS THURSDAY, ANNOUNCING HMM. IT'S AMAZING THE CAMARADERIE AND THE PASSION THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE COMING OUT OF LEADERSHIP MECHANIC. AND I WISH I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT PROGRAM. THAT KIND OF CAME ALONG THE WAY. I MEAN, I STILL GOT TIME TO GET YOU IN THERE, MAN. BUT OKAY? IT GOES TO SHOW SOMEBODY HAS TO DO THIS. THEY TOOK THIS ON SOME 20 YEARS AGO. AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT'S DONE FOR THE CITY. UM AND ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS IN MCKINNEY THESE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN IT TO HEART AND THEY COME AND THEY GIVE BACK TO MCKINNEY. AND THEY DO THINGS THAT ARE GREAT IN THE CITY, AND THEY BECOME DEDICATED TO THE CITY, AND THEY HAVE PASSION FOR THE CITY. IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. THE CHAMBER AND ALL THEIR STAFF. UH SHOUT OUT TO JOHN RATON AND THE BODY SHOP THROUGH THE EVENT THROUGH A GREAT EVENT, AND IT JUST MADE ME PROUD, EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE PROGRAM, UH, THAT IS A PART OF OUR CITY. UM I WAS GOING TO MENTION SOMEBODY LEADERSHIP. I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT THAT HORSE MUCH MORE. BUT I MUST SAY THAT ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN IT, THEY TAKE APPLICATIONS. THE CHAMBER DOES EVERY APRIL TO MAY AND THEN SELECTIONS ARE MADE IN JUNE JULY . IT'S NORMALLY 25 TO 30 PEOPLE. THIS CLASS HAS PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY STARS IN THIS COMMUNITY . DARYL BARNES, WHO OWNS GATHERING DOES SO MUCH HELEN GORILLAS FOR PERSONALIZED TOUCH WHO'S MADE A MAGNIFICENT IMPACT . BRIAN MEDINA FROM WHO SERVED ON CHESTNUT SQUARE AND OUR OWN ANDREW JONES FROM THE CITY, SO TREMENDOUS CLASS AND YOU MAKE TREMENDOUS RELATIONSHIPS. THERE
[01:00:02]
ARE TWO OTHER THINGS THAT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND. UM ONE OF THEM IS ON SATURDAY MORNING, VONDA AND I WENT AND ONE OF US DID THE FIVE K AND ONE OF US DID THE ONE MILE FUN WALK. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE DID WHICH, BUT IT WAS AT THE BURKINI PARKS FOUNDATION BONDED. DID THE FIVE K. I DID THE FUN WALK, YOU KNOW, ON GREAT BRANCH TRAIL. IF Y'ALL KNOW, GREAT BRANCH. WE'VE OPENED UP ONE MILE LOOP. OUR PARKS FOUNDATION CARVED IT OUT. THE PARKS FOUNDATION IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PARKS BOARD. THE PARKS FOUNDATION IS 100% CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS WHO GO OUT AND WORKED , MR BELLOWS POINT HOURS AND HOURS TO HELP MAKE OUR PARKS BETTER. GREAT BRANCHES LIKE NOTHING ELSE IN THIS CITY. IT IS LIKE YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD OUT THERE, MAN. AND SO THIS IS A ONE MILE LOOP THAT WE DID. AND THEN THE POINT OF THAT WAS THAT THE PARKS FOUNDATION IS RAISING MONEY TO DO A LEARNING GARDEN AT THE NEW TOPS, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO TEACH PEOPLE GARDENING , GROW FOOD AND ACTUALLY DISTRIBUTE THAT FOOD TO PLACES LIKE LATIN DATA INTO THE FOOD PANTRY AND THE COMMUNITY KITCHEN. THAT WAS SATURDAY MORNING. WE DID THAT. SATURDAY EVENING. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY WITH COUNCILMAN JONES TO GO TO THE FIRE BANQUET FOR MCKINNEY, FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CHIEF DAD WAS KIND ENOUGH TO INVITE INVITE US INTO THE RECEIVING LINE. AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS IS FOLKS WHO WERE WHO GOT PROMOTIONS RECENTLY WERE RECOGNIZED RETIREMENTS WERE RECOGNIZED. WHEN THEY YOU GET PROMOTED. FREQUENTLY GET A NEW FIRE HELMET AND YOU GET A FAMILY MEMBER TO COME AND GIVE YOU A PIN. THERE WAS ONE GUY WHO WAS WEARING A FIRE UNIFORM. HE'S RETIRED PLANO FIRE, AND HE GOT TO PIN HIS SON, WHO BECAME A CAPTAIN IN MCKINNEY, AND HE GOT TO PIN HIS SON WHO BECAME AN ENGINEER, SO I WENT UP TO HIM. I SAID, MAN, YOU MUST FEEL LIKE YOU WON THE LOTTERY, AND HE SAID HE DID. SO WHAT A MAGNIFICENT THING IN THE PRIDE OF THE MCKINNEY FIRE DEPARTMENT. UH, IS INCREDIBLE, AND THEIR WORK WAS ON DISPLAY LAST NIGHT. SADLY JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS NORTH OF HERE UP ON KENTUCKY STREET, SO THANK YOU, MR BEAR. IT WAS A GREAT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AND IT SURPRISED THE YOU KNOW THE FIREFIGHTERS WHEN THEY RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR THEIR FOR THEIR BRAVERY AND THERE, YOU KNOW, AND SAVING THIS LADY AND SHE WAS ABLE TO MEET THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE OF AN AMBULANCE, AND IT WAS JUST A GREAT MOMENT. GREAT EVENT AND NO, THEY HADN'T PUT IT ON IN A COUPLE OF YEARS, SO I LOOK FORWARD THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE THIS EVERY YEAR. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY COVID WAS A LITTLE SETBACK FOR EVERYONE, BUT IT WAS GREAT TO SEE ALL OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS. UM OUT, AND EVEN WHILE WE WERE AT THE BANQUET, THEY HAD A CALL. THEY HAD A FIRE, AND SO A LOT OF THEM HAVE TO LEAVE, BUT IT WAS A EXCELLENT
[01:05:04]

FIRST OF ALL I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK ASSISTANT MANAGER TILTON FOR THE WORK THAT HIM THAT HE AND HIS TEAM MEMBERS, INCLUDING RYAN, WILLINGHAM AND ERIC HOPES AND PUBLIC WORKS, ALONG WITH OUR CONSULTANTS AND ALL THE PURCHASING FOLKS ON WORKING THROUGH THE WAIST HAULING CONTRACT. THESE AREN'T EASY. WE DON'T DO THEM THAT OFTEN BECAUSE THEIR THEIR CHALLENGE YOU AS YOU SAW TONIGHT. AFTER A NUMBER OF YEARS, RELATIONSHIPS ARE MADE AND EXPECTATIONS ARE SET AND FOR US, I DO WANT TO REALLY APPLAUD STEPHEN THEIR WORK AND REALLY PROFESSIONALLY AND TRANSPARENTLY MANAGING THIS PROCESS. THIS IS WHAT YOU EXPECT US TO DO. IT'S GOING TO SURVIVE THE TAXPAYERS IN THE COMMUNITY VERY WELL. WE STILL HAVE TO STICK THE LANDING, SO TO SPEAK, WHICH MEANS THE IMPLEMENTATION. THOSE AREN'T ALWAYS EASY, BUT I DO HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE AND OUR TEAM AND OUR PARTNERS AND WORKING THROUGH THIS TRANSITION, SO AND LIKE ALL OF YOU, WE THANK WASTE CONNECTIONS FOR THE GOOD WORK THEY'VE DONE OVER THE YEARS. WE STILL ARE GOING TO BE PARTNERING WITH THEM FOR THE NEXT 14 13 OR 14 MONTHS DURING THIS PROCESS, UM AND BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH OUR NEW PARTNERS AS WELL. ALSO JUST AS A REMINDER, THIS IS WATER SEASON AND THIS IS OUR SUMMER. I SHOULD SAY THE HOT, HOT HOT SUMMER WHICH HAS US THINKING OF WATER. I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, BUT IT'S WORTH REITERATING DURING THIS HOT SEASON LANDSCAPE WATERING IS THE SINGLE MOST SIGNIFICANT USE OF WATER THERE IN THE SUMMER, AND IT ACCOUNTS FOR UP TO 60% OF OUR CITYWIDE WATER USE. DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR. WATERING IS NOT ALLOWED BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 A.M. TO 6 P.M. IF YOU'RE WATERING AT THAT TIME FRAME, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR WATER. UM RESIDENTS CAN WATER ON THEIR TRASH DAY AND AGAIN THREE DAYS LATER, IF NECESSARY, AND THEN AS A REMINDER ON WATER AUGUST IS NATIONAL WATER QUALITY MONTH. YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE AS RESIDENTS TO HELP KEEP OUR WATER WATER QUALITY SUPERIOR. AND THAT'S IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS .ORG. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT I GOT AN EMAIL FROM A RESIDENT THAT LOST HIS WIFE AND, UH, I GUESS ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AND HE LOST HIS WIFE

M S WAS THERE FAR FAR FIGHTERS OR THEIR FIRE DEPARTMENTS THERE CAME IN ASSESS THE SITUATION BEGAN CPR.CONTINUE THAT THROUGHOUT, YOU KNOW, UNTIL THE AMS GOT THERE AND ALL THE WAY OUT THE DOOR. UM POLICE ALSO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE ASSISTED IN EVERY WAY THEY COULD , AND THEN REALLY PROVIDED THE GENTLEMAN A LOT OF A LOT OF COMFORT AS HE WAS DEALING WITH THAT EVENT THAT JUST TOOK PLACE AND GATHERING HIMSELF BEFORE HE UH, GOT OFF TO THE HOSPITAL. BUT AGAIN, HE LOST HER. BUT STILL TOOK THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE JOB THAT OUR POLICE AND OUR FIRE E.
