KURT KEEN, WHO IS VICE CHAIR? JULIE WILLIAMS DEAD HOSLEY, MARK DENNISON, MOHAMMAD QASIM AND SCOTT WOODRUFF. AND SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANTED TO PUBLICLY THANK PETER TOKER. OUR PAST PRESIDENT FOR HIS FIVE YEARS AT THE HELM OF THE KIDNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. DURING
[00:10:05]
HIS TENURE. WE SAW MANY SUCCESSES, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF THE MCKINNEY INNOVATION. FUND AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED FOR TO CREATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH ENTREPRENEURS AND NEW STARTUP COMPANIES. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT OTHER CITIES ARE NOW STARTING TO COPY AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR US. ALSO DURING HIS TENURE, WE WORKED ON VARIOUS EXPANSION PROJECTS, INCLUDING INCLUDING EXPANSION PROJECTS, SUCH AS RAYTHEON COMMUNITY INVESTMENT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS LIKE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL HELP 1 21 DISTRICT 1 21 MCKINNEY AIRPORT PROJECTS DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS JUST TO NAME A FEW, SO WE DO WISH HIM ALL THE SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE AND APPRECIATE HIS EFFORTS FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. AND NOW IT'S MY PLEASURE TO ANNOUNCE PUBLICLY THAT THE BOARD HAS APPROVED THE HIRING OF MICHAEL KOWSKI AS THE NEW PRESIDENT. MCKINLEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD MICHAEL'S HERE. YEAH I TOLD HIM HE COULD SPEAK IF HE WANTS, BUT IN ANY EVENT, HE WILL BE STARTING ON OCTOBER, THE FIRST IN THAT POSITION. MR KACZYNSKI HAS BEEN PART OF THE CITY MCKINNEY AS DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION SINCE 2017, WHERE HE OVERSEES 600 EMPLOYEES IN THE MANAGEMENT AND ACTIVATION OF OVER 3000 ACRES OF PARKLAND PROJECTS. SO YOU MAY ASK. WHAT DOES A PARKLAND DIRECTOR KNOW ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. OR HOW DOES THIS ALL TIE TOGETHER? AND SO WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT MR COCKY IS HIS EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AND HIS PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND. HE HAS A PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND IN URBAN DESIGN, CITY PLANNING AND REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MATTERS. HE IS A CREDENTIAL CITY PLANNER WITH THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PLANNERS. A CERTIFIED URBAN DESIGNER AND HAS EXPERIENCED IN HIS CAREER AS A REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WORK ON THOSE PROJECTS PRIOR TO COMING TO MCKINNEY. HE HAS A MASTER'S DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS IN CHICAGO AND A MASTER AND HARVARD UNIVERSITY, WHERE HE COMPLETED ADVANCED STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE , URBAN PLANNING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ART HISTORY. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE RECOGNITION THAT MCKINNEY HAS GARNERED FOR ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN AMERICA TO LIVE OR DUE TO A COMBINATION OF MANY THINGS, INCLUDING THE QUALITY OF THE LIVE WORK PLAY ENVIRONMENT THAT A COMMUNITY OFFERS THE COHESIVENESS OF THE LEADERSHIP THAT DETERMINES THE GROWTH AND PRIORITIES OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE AFFORDED TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE. AND DECIDING WHO TO PLACE IN THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. AN IMPORTANT FACTOR WAS THE OF OUR BOARD. WAS THE DESIRE TO PROMOTE AND PRIORITIZE THE CONCEPT OF ONE MCKINNEY. MEANING THAT THE ENTITIES THAT PROMOTE AND INCENTIVIZE ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN MCKINNEY AND THE CITY COUNCIL THAT SETS POLICIES AND APPOINT BOARD APPOINTS BOARD MEMBERS TO IMPLEMENT THOSE POLICIES THAT ARE DESIGNED, PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR IN LINE WITH ONE COMMON MISSION. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HIRING A PERSON WITH MICHAEL'S BACKGROUND AND HIS EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND WHO HAS A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH CITY STAFF THAT WILL HELP US ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THE BOARDING QUALITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. PROJECTS TO THE CITY AND HELP US MEET THE EXPECTATIONS AND POLICY DIRECTIVES. HAVE YOU AS THE CITY COUNCIL THAT HAVE APPOINTED US AS YOUR BOARD MEMBERS. SO FINALLY NOW, UNTIL MICHAEL BEGINS HIS TENURE ON OCTOBER 1ST. AS I SAID, WE DO HAVE MICHAEL TALLY WHO IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF OUR ORGANIZATION, HE WILL SERVE IN THE ROLE AS INTERIM PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT MONTH. HE WILL ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PRESIDENT, INCLUDING SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND BEING AT OUR MEETINGS AND WHATEVER ELSE WE HAVE GOING ON. INCLUDING WE HAVE SOME MEETINGS TOMORROW, SO MICHAEL WILL DO A GOOD JOB FOR US IN THE INTERIM PERIOD, BUT I DID WANT TO PUBLICLY WELCOME MR KOWSKI TO THE TEAM. I KNOW HE'S REALLY BEEN PART OF THE TEAM, BUT NOW IT'S IN A NEW ROLE, AND WE DEFINITELY LOOK FORWARD TO HIS LEADERSHIP AND HIS WORKING WITH YOU ALL AS WE CONTINUE TO DO OUR WORK ON YOUR BOARD. I ASK MR KOWSKI TO STAND, PLEASE BRING HIM UP. COME ON UP. WHO IS THE PICTURE OF THAT REALLY GOOD LOOKING GUY UP ON THE SCREEN LOOKING, HUH? THAT'S GREAT. I DIDN'T WANT TO ASK YOU ANY QUESTIONS.

SO YOU'VE SEEN ALL THESE SLIDES BEFORE, BUT WE JUST WANT TO PUT THEM OUT HERE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. 23 24 BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 24. WE ARE PROPOSING TO DECREASE THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BY THREE CENTS . WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE A LITTLE BIT LATER. UM SALES TAX REMAINS STRONG.

[00:25:05]
EMPLOYEES AND FISCAL YEAR 24 AND CONTINUING TO STRONGLY FUND OUR STREET MAINTENANCE ALSO WILL BE ADDING STAFFING WITH OVER 30 BEING ADDED IN THE JOURNAL FUND ALONE. LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GENERAL FUND. WE HAVE REVENUES OF ABOUT $202 MILLION PROPOSED FOR FISCAL YEAR. 24 IS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THE PROPERTY TAX PORTION OF THAT PIE CONTINUING TO SHRINK WHILE THE NUMBER GOES UP THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY USING FROM PROPERTY TAXES IN THE GENERAL FUND SIDE IS 100% BASIS IS SHRINKING. WITH SALES TAX CONTINUING TO GROW, AND YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF OUR FEES THERE. UM BALANCED BUDGET WITH ABOUT 48% BEING, UM, EXCUSE ME, 47% BEING PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE REST OF FOLLOWING SOMEWHERE IN THERE IN SMALLER PERCENTAGES.THESE WERE THE STAFFING EDITIONS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT LIKE TO POINT OUT ON, ESPECIALLY IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY, SAID.

UM SUPPLEMENTALS INCLUDE, UH YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THERE, THERE'S TWO MAINTENANCE CREW LEADERS. SOME MAINTENANCE TEXT AND THEN WE'RE ADDING QUITE A BIT OF STAFFING ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SIDE ON THE OPERATION SIDE AS WELL. UM THAT WITH WHERE WE ARE, WE WILL TALK. TALKING ABOUT OUR OUR WATER RATES WILL BE PASSING OUR FEE ORDINANCE. WE ARE GOING TO BE INCREASING OUR WATER RATES BY ABOUT 8% ON WATER. 8% ON WASTEWATER WERE PASSING THROUGH SOME SOME SOME LARGE INCREASES FROM NORTH TEX MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE SEEING SOME SOME YOU KNOW, INCREASES ALL OF THEIR OWN. THEY'RE HAVING TO PASS THROUGH TO US, BUT 9% THAT THEY'RE PASSING TO US AND 11% ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, JUST ON THE TREATMENT AND ALL OF THEIR CAPITAL PROJECTS, SO WE WILL BE PASSING THROUGH ABOUT AN 8% INCREASE OF OUR OWN. UM WITH THAT WE'RE AT THE KIND OF THE FINAL EVENT FOR OUR BUDGET. I SHOWED THE CALENDAR EVERY TIME AS WE CANNOT COUNT IT DOWN. UH THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET. LET Y'ALL CALL THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION FOR THE BUDGET PORTION WILL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, MR HOLLOWAY. JUST JUST ONE CLARIFYING QUESTION ON THE WATER.

SO WE ALREADY CHARGED A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN BEING PASSED THROUGH. PLUS WE HAVE GROWTH THAT WE RELY ON SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PASS ON QUITE AS BIG A PERCENT INCREASE IS PASSED BACK TO US. WE WE FOUND THAT THE 8% ON BOTH OF THOSE WOULD KEEP US SELF SUFFICIENT, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING OUR MARGINS PROPERLY. SO FOR MANY YEARS WE WENT WITHOUT ANY INCREASE MIGHT BE WORTH SAYING CORRECT MANY, MANY YEARS AND WE HAVE OUR FINDING THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, MAINTAINING JUST TRYING TO MATCH JUST UNDER WHAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS A PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN AND THAT'S WHAT THE KIND OF THE CRUX OF THE WATER RATE STUDY CAME BACK SAID YOU CAN.

[Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance to Ratify the Property Tax Revenue Increase in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget as a Result of the City Receiving More Revenues from Property Taxes than the Previous Fiscal Year]
[00:30:08]
TO RATIFY THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE INCREASE IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 24 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF THE CITY, RECEIVING MORE REVENUES FROM PROPERTY TAXES AND THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. I'LL RUN THROUGH A SHORT PRESENTATION ON THE OVERALL TAX RATE. THIS IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO ANYTIME THAT YOU BRING IN MORE REVENUE IN IN A YEAR THAN YOU DID IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. YOU YOU, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS PORTION OF THE TAX RATE ADOPTION. WE HAVE 11 SHORT PRESENTATION HERE FOR THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. UM. JUST OUR EXISTING VALUES HAVE INCREASED ABOUT JUST UNDER 12% THIS TAX RATE IS ABOUT 2.34% ABOVE THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE. THAT TAX RATE IS 0.42.7513 WHICH IS WELL UNDER THE CEILING THAT WAS ADOPTED IN EARLY AUGUST BY THE COUNCIL, 0.430734. UH THIS COMPARISON OF THE TAX RATES FROM FISCAL YEAR 23 TO FISCAL YEAR. 24 JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THE KIND OF THE MIDDLE SHADE WHEN THEY'RE THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. THE FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 WAS 0.457 THIS YEAR. 0.4 TO SEVEN, WHICH IS, UH , REDUCTION OF THREE CENTS OF THE OVERALL TAX RATE WILL POINT OUT THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE IS ABOUT 1.6 CENTS MORE THAN THEN THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. I THINK THAT THAT'S THE UNUSED INCREMENT THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT. THAT'S 1.6 CENTS. I THINK IT'S ABOUT 5.7% OVERALL OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS THAT WE HAVEN'T USED SO IN THEORY, THEN MARK YOU DON'T MIND GOING BACK WITH THE UNUSED INCREMENT? UM THAT WOULD MAKE THE VOTER APPROVAL RIGHT CLOSER TO 49. NO THAT THAT VOTER APPROVAL RATE WILL BE THE 44 CENTS. YOU SEE THERE, IT'S ABOUT 1.6. IT'S ABOUT 5% SO AND THOSE THOSE ARE 5% BASED ON PREVIOUS FISCAL YEARS, BUT WE BANKED ABOUT 1.6 CENTS. OKAY? IT'S ABOUT 1.6, OKAY? THE HIGHEST YOU COULD COULD HAVE GONE WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT 0.446. BUT THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE CEILING THERE. I THINK THAT FIRST MEETING OF AUGUST AT 0.430. JUST FOR YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO SHOW THIS EVERY YEAR. UM SO ARE TAXABLE VALUES HAVE INCREASED THE 35.9 BILLION , WITH THE TAX RATE, DECREASING A FURTHER THREE CENTS. THIS SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN. OF THE TAX RATE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DEBT RATE HAS GONE DOWN OVER TIME. WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TREVOR TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT DEBT RATE AND WHAT WE DO WITH OUR LONG TERM PLAN, HOW WE TRY TO MAINTAIN IT. EVEN WITH THAT, WITH THE EVEN WITH THE ELECTION THAT WE HAD IN 2019, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DEBT PORTION OF THE RATE HAS GONE DOWN TWO CENTS DURING THAT TIME. AND THE MINNOW RATE HAS GONE FROM 41 CENTS IN FISCAL YEAR 15 TO 28 CENTS. IN FISCAL YEAR 24. AND WITH THAT ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE CALENDAR A LITTLE BIT . SO UM, THE NEXT THING IS, THE COUNCIL WANTS TO TAKE TAKE THIS MOTION TO RATIFY THE PROPERTY TAX RATE. REVENUE THEN WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH WOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE. TO MARK JUST FOR PUBLIC EDIFICATION. OUR RATE OVER NO NEW REVENUE IS 2.1% 2.34% THIS YEAR AND INFLATION HAS BEEN 7 8. SO AND FOR THOSE SURE IF THEY THINK ABOUT IT, THEY REALIZED THAT THE CITY BEARS THAT BURDEN AS WELL AS A AS AN OPERATION AS A CORPORATION. WE HAVE ALL THOSE SAME ACTUALLY, WE HAVE PROBABLY MUCH GREATER INFLATION RATE THAN THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD AND THAT THE ITEMS THAT THE CITY ABSORBS USERS ARE ITEMS THAT HAVE SEEN THE HIGHEST IN INFLATION. SO WE ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME THINGS THAT EVERY HOUSEHOLD IS INCREASING COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION. LABOR HEALTHCARE.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS WE ARE WELL UNDER INFLATION. ON THAT SAME REVENUE. AT THIS POINT OF EDUCATION. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. BY MAY. A MOVE THAT THE INCREASED REVENUE FROM PROPERTY TAXES IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 TO 2024 CITY BUDGET IS HEREBY RATIFIED WITH FOLLOWING DECLARATION. BASED ON THE TAX RATE OF 0.427513. THIS BUDGET WILL RAISE MORE TOTAL PROPERTY TAXES THAN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET BY 10,084,007. OR 7.03% OF THAT AMOUNT, 4,298,000. IS TAX

THEY ARE READY TO BUILD THOSE OVER THERE, AND WE ARE READY TO FUND THOSE AND MOVE

UM UH, FACILITY IS READY TO BEGIN THEIR THEY HAVE THE PLANS IN PLACE AND ARE READY TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION. WE WOULD ASK THEM IN NOVEMBER FOR YOU TO AUTHORIZE US TO ISSUE THOSE BONDS.

PHASE ONE OF THAT PROJECT FOR THE OUTDOOR FACILITIES FOR PARKING FOR A SPLASH PAD FOR SOME PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT THAT PHASE ONE OF THAT PROJECT IS READY TO BEGIN. PHASE TWO WOULD COME, POSSIBLY AFTER A BOND ELECTION, BUT THE PHASE ONE OF THAT PROCESS PROJECTS REALLY BEGINS. SO WE'RE READY TO ISSUE DEBT FOR THAT. YOU MUST I'M SORRY.

THESE ARE THINGS OF COURSE THAT ARE ON OUR GENERAL AVIATION SIDE PROJECTS AND WHATNOT THAT HAVE BEEN THE SAME TYPE OF PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN FUNDING. SINCE WE HAVE PURCHASED THE FBI. THOSE 2014 NOTHING TO DO WITH COMMERCIAL PASSENGER SERVICE. IT IS GENERAL AVIATION GENERAL AVIATION SIDE OF THE AIRPORT.

BETTER BETTER INTEREST RATES, BUT WE WILL BE PAYING THAT WITH THOSE NOTES BACK WITH THEIR ONLY AIRPORT REVENUES TO BE CLEAR THAT'S GENERAL AVIATION AND REVENUE BONDS. SURE GENERAL AVIATION SIDE MR MAYOR TO BE MAYBE EVEN MORE CLEAR. WE HAVE SOME PLANES THAT CALLED OUR AIRPORT TK I HOME THAT WOULD LIKE TO FLY IN FROM OVERSEAS WOULD LIKE TO FLY IN FROM JAPAN OR BEIJING, AND JUST BECAUSE IT'S A COMMERCIAL, NOT A COMMERCIAL PLANE DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS. THEY DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS AND THE THIS WILL HELP US BE A BETTER FACILITY FOR THAT AND ATTRACT AND RETAIN THESE PLANES MORE SO THAT'S WHAT THE WORD THE CUSTOMS COMES INTO PLAY. I'LL BE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON THAT NOTE. IT'S ACCURATE. IT'S FAIRLY ACCURATE.

THE COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY APPROVED A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A STEALTH COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION TOWER.ON THIS TRACT. HOWEVER THE PREVIOUS S U. P WAS FOR A MONOPOLY DESIGN. SO THAT'S THAT FLAG LIST. FLAGPOLE DESIGN. THE APPLICANT HAS COME BACK AND IS PROPOSING TO DO MORE OF A RAP SIGNAGE PRODUCT WITH THE CRAIG RANCH TPC LOGO ON THE SOUTH TOWER ITSELF BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT S UPS HAVE THE ELEVATIONS TIED DOWN TO THEM.

[Consider/Discuss/Act on 2023-24 Board and Commission Appointments, Including Fulfilling Vacancies Resulting from Expired Terms, Resignations, Reassignments, and Removals]
NO I GET TO STEP DOWN. JENNIFER WE HAVE ONE LAST ITEM. THIS IS CONSIDERING ACT ON THE 2023 24 BOARDING COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS , INCLUDING FULFILLING VACANCIES RESULTING FROM EXPIRED TERMS, RESIGNATIONS, REASSIGNMENTS AND REMOVALS. AND EMPERORS. ARE YOU OR IS MR HAUSER GOING TO HANDLE THIS? WE DO HAVE NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT. WE MAY HAVE A SECOND MAJOR FULLER AND COUNSELING FRUSTRATED CITY SECRETARY. WE DO HAVE ONE ITEM FROM THE PREVIOUS APPOINTMENTS THAT YOU GUYS CAN THE COUNCIL COMPLETED ON AUGUST 22ND WE HEARD FROM A MEMBER WHO WISH TO BE RESTORED TO THE BOARD FROM WHICH HE WAS REASSIGNED. SO THAT'S DEFINITELY THE DISCRETION OF THE COUNCIL TO THE SCRIPT TO CONSIDER THAT AND ANY MODIFICATIONS THAT YOU MAKE TO ANY VOICE AND I WOULD JUST ASK THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT COMPREHENSIVE ROSTER OF BOARDS IN CASE THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES THAT YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE. SO I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHRIS WILKES. CHRIS WILKES IS THE GENERAL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHO WAS SERVING ON MAIN STREET. UM AND, OF COURSE, A FANTASTIC JOB OF MAIN STREET. WE APPOINTED HIM AS AN ALTERNATE TO MCKINNEY COMMUNE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.THE CONCERN BOTH FROM HIM AND FROM MAIN STREET. IS THAT LOSING BOTH OFFICERS OF THAT BOARD, MR HAMBLETON AND CHRIS COULD HAVE COULD, YOU KNOW CAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE WITH THAT, IN THAT THERE WILL BE A LEARNING CURVE. MR WILKES WAS VERY GRATEFUL TO BE APPOINTED TO M C.
D C. WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN ON THAT AND HAS OFFERED TO SERVE CONTINUE TO SERVE AS HE WAS ONCE HE STARTS AS AN ALTERNATE ON CDC. I WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN ON MCKINNEY MAIN STREET, AND I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE APPROVE US BELIEVE WE CAN A SECOND ALTERNATE POSITION OR THIRD.
WHATEVER THAT CASE MAY BE, AND HE WILL REMAIN. THERE IS A CONSULTANT IF YOU WILL, FOR UNTIL THE NEW OFFICER TAKE HIS PLACE IS UP TO SPEED ON THE DUTIES THAT HE WAS PERFORMING.
UM, HE'S ABLE TO DO THAT FROM A TIME. UM FROM A TIME WAY IN AND ALSO DESIRES TO DO SO. SO. IF ANYONE IF ANYONE ELSE WOULD AGREES WITH THAT AND HAS NO ISSUE WITH IT. THE MOTION WOULD BE TO IT WOULD JUST BE TO APPOINT HIM AS A SECOND ALTERNATE. ON THE MCKINNEY MAIN STREET BOARD. MR RHODES MAKE A REMARK. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. UM I THINK MR WILKES IS VERY GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. HE'S BEEN A TREMENDOUSLY TREMENDOUS MEMBER OF THAT BOARD. AND I DO, HOWEVER , HAVE FAITH THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, LAUREN AND AJ CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. THEY SET THEIR MINDS TO, SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOOD, BUT YOU KNOW, HE'S IF HE'S WILLING TO DO THIS UNTIL THEY ALL FEEL LIKE THEY'RE UP TO SNUFF. THAT'S PHENOMENAL. IF WE IF WE DID IT, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR APPOINTMENTS WILL BE THERE FOR ONE MEETING IF WE WERE WRONG. WILL BE THERE FOR A WHILE, AND I HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER DECISION. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THE VIDEO FROM WHEN HE SPOKE WHEN HE WAS DOING HIS INTERVIEW, HE DID MENTION WE ASKED HIM WHAT HE WHAT DID HE PREFERRED? HE SAID HE PREFERRED TO STAY ON MAIN STREET. SO HE DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND SO MADE THE DECISION HERE BUT IT WAS NOTED IN THERE. HE WAS HE WAS SAYING THAT FROM MY DISCUSSIONS WITH HIM AFTER FROM A QUITE FRANKLY, A SENSE OF DUTY. YOU KNOW THAT KIND OF GUY THAT KIND OF CHARACTER THAT HE FELT HIS DEPARTURE MAY LEAVE THEM A LITTLE HIGH AND DRY. IN THE OFFICER DEPARTMENT. SO HE HE WAS TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM IF YOU WILL TO OFFER TO DO THAT. BUT HERE WE ARE. UM THIS WOULD BE
[00:55:05]
THE SIMPLEST MOTION AND IT'S ONE HE WOULD PREFER, AND I THINK IT SERVES THE BOARDS IN THE CITY WELL, AGREED. SO IS THERE A MOTION TO APPOINT HIM AS THE SECOND ALTERNATE ON THE MAINSTREAM MOTION THAT WE APPOINT HIM AS THE SECOND ALTERNATE? ON THE MAIN STREET BOARD. OUR SECOND CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. THAT IS THE END OF OUR AGENDA AND PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. WE HAVE NO CITIZEN COMMENTS AS WE HEARD THAT IN THE BEGINNING BY JOE AND[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]
