AND MANY OF TODAY'S PRODUCTS AND FURNISHINGS PRODUCED TOXIC GASSES AND SMOKE WHEN BURNED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AND BREATHE WITHIN MOMENTS. THESE CONDITIONS WITHIN MOMENTS, THESE CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTE TO A MUCH SMALLER WINDOW OF TIME FOR PEOPLE TO ESCAPE A HOME FIRE SAFELY, WITH PEOPLE HAVING AS LITTLE AS 1 TO 2 MINUTES TO ESCAPE FROM THE TIME THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS. WHEREAS A HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN INCLUDES TWO EXITS FROM EVERY ROOM IN THE HOME A PATH TO THE OUTSIDE FROM EACH EXIT, SMOKE ALARMS AND ALL REQUIRED LOCATIONS AND A MEETING PLACE OUTSIDE WHERE EVERYONE IN THE HOME WILL MEET UPON EXITING.HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN SHOULD BE DEVELOPED BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND PRACTICING A HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN TWICE A YEAR ENSURES THENAT EVERYONE IN THE HOUSEHOLD KNOWS WHAT TO DO IN A REAL FIRE SITUATION.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (for Non-Public Hearing Items)]
COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. HOWEVER WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER HERE FOR NON AGENDA. WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD INCLUDE THAT AT THE FRONT SIDE OF COMMENTS AS WELL. WE ONLY HAVE ONE SPEAKER SIGNED UP, MR PAUL BALLAST ARIES. WELL, YOU KNOW THE ROUTINE WHEN YOU COME UP, SIR. BEST TO KEEP MYSELF TO THREE MINUTES. 06508 MARVIN GARDENS MCKINNEY, TEXAS 75070. UM I AM THE FOUNDER AND THE PRESIDENT OF MANUAL LABOR, WHICH WAS DISCUSSED EARLIER AS PART OF THE WORK SESSION. AND MR MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. JUST THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ADDRESS ALMOST THIS OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR FURTHER FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TO THE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. HOMELESSNESS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS ALL OF US, AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO SEE FEWER PEOPLE STRUGGLING. THE PROBLEM IS MOST SOLUTIONS BEING OFFERED FOCUSED ON THE SYMPTOMS. AND WHILE THE SYMPTOMS ARE OFTEN THE MOST IRRITATING CONTENTION, GETTING AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, THEY ARE NOT THE ROOT CAUSE. MANUAL LABOR. WE FOCUS ON THE ROOT CAUSE OF HOMELESSNESS, RADICALLY REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TIME A PERSON STRUGGLES AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY BEING WASTED. THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL HOMELESSNESS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF NUCLEAR RELATIONSHIPS. IT IS NOT A LACK OF ACQUAINTANCES. IT'S A LACK OF CLOSE, MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS. RESEARCH SHOWS. IT'S IMPORTANT. HOW IMPORTANT IS TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS IN OUR LIFE. WE ALL NEED PEOPLE THAT WILL ENCOURAGE US AND CORRECT US AND THAT WE KNOW WE CAN CALL AT TWO AM SO WHY AM I SHARING ALL THIS WITH YOU TONIGHT? I DON'T BELIEVE HOMELESSNESS IS YOUR PROBLEM TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEM TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS CANNOT BE ENDED AS A CONCEPT, BUT IT CAN BE ENDED FOR A PERSON. AND THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW WE'VE ENDED IT FOR A PERSON IS TO KNOW THAT PERSON. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE MORE ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. IN FACT, THERE ARE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THAT HAVE VOICED AT THEMSELVES.THEY AGREE WITH THE CONCEPT OF ABIDING TO A SOCIAL CONTRACT, AND THEY'RE OFTEN SELF POLICING.
THEY WANT THOSE RUINING IT FOR THE REST OF THEM TO BE ADDRESSED. THAT BEING SAID THEY WANT THEIR SITUATIONS TO BE LOOKED AT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. THEY WANT TO BE TREATED FOR THE UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL THAT THEY ARE. MY ENCOURAGEMENT TO ANY POLICE OFFICERS. ENGAGING OUR NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IS THAT THEY WOULD TREAT THEM UNIQUELY AND NOT AS A COLLECTIVE OF SOCIAL OUTCAST. THERE ARE RUMORS OF JAIL OR PLANO. AT THE SAME TIME, WE NEED CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, SUCH AS HOUSING ACCESSIBLE TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, BOTH LONG TERM LIKE MORE UNITS AND SHORT TERM LIKE SHARED APARTMENT LIVING AND INDIVIDUAL LEASING. TO MY NEIGHBORS. WITH BUSINESSES. WE LOVE YOU AND I AM FOR YOU. I'M RAISING MY YOUNG CHILDREN HERE AND WE LOVE OUR WHOLE TOWN, ESPECIALLY OUR DOWNTOWN. TO MY SKEPTICAL NEIGHBORS. WE LOVE YOU AND ARE FOR YOUR PERSONAL SUCCESS. OUR ORGANIZATION FOCUSES ON THE DOWNTOWN AREA NOT TO EXACERBATE ISSUES BUT IN RESPONSE TO ISSUES THAT ALREADY EXISTED. TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK FURTHER AND GET MORE CLARITY. I'M AVAILABLE. THANK YOU, EVERYONE FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. THANK YOU, PAUL. AND THIS IS CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. THESE ITEMS CONSISTENT ON

A MOTION MOVED THAT WE CONTINUE ALL THESE ITEMS UNTIL OCTOBER, 17TH. SECOND CAST YOUR VOTES. NEXT MEETING. LOVE MOTION PASSES OUR FINAL ITEM 23081 TO CONSIDER AND ACT ON A RESOLUTION[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Nominating Member(s) to the Collin Central Appraisal District Board of Directors]
NOMINATING MEMBERS OF THE COLONY CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS. ONE GOT SHEET WITH INFORMATION. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR FULLER AND COUNCIL. THIS IS THE YOUR NOMINATIONS FOR A MEMBER TO THE COLIN CAD BOARD TO BE PLACED ON THE BALLOT FOR ELECTION THAT ALL TAXING ENTITIES OF THE CAT PARTICIPATE IN FOR PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. ONE CHANGE TO THE BOARDS. CONSTRUCTION BECAME[00:15:02]
RECENTLY THIS PAST SUMMER, THE STATE MODIFIED THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS TO THE COLIN CAT TO BE NINE MEMBERS CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF FIVE MEMBERS THAT ARE ELECTED BY THE TAXING ENTITIES, PLUS THIS TAX OR LESS TAXES. ASSESSOR. UH AND, UH, THIS COMING ELECTION, THE PUBLIC WILL VOTE ON THREE ADDITIONAL MEMBERS TO THE CAT. SO THAT TOTAL WILL NOW BE NINE. BUT AS FAR AS YOUR PROCESS, IT IS STILL THE SAME WHERE YOU CAN NOMINATE UP TO FIVE MEMBERS TO BE PLACED ON THE BALLOT FOR YOUR ELECTION. THE CAT CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF FIVE MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN ELECTED IN, INCLUDING ONE PERSON WHO WAS NOMINATED BY THE MCKINNEY COUNSELING THAT'S BRIAN MAN'S EYE. AND THEN JUST ONE FINAL NOTE JUST TO KEEP IN MIND. THIS IS NOT YOUR NOMINATION TONIGHT IS NOT CASTING A BALLOT VOTE THAT WILL COME LATER THIS YEAR, AND THE CITY OF MCKINNEY RECEIVES 209 OF THE TOTAL ALLOCATION FOR THE COMBINED VOTING. STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. BUT YOU ARE LOOKING FROM US FIVE NAMES UP TO FIVE IN THE RECENT THE LAST TWO REASONS NOMINATIONS. YOU SUBMITTED ONE NAME, BUT YOU CAN DO UP TO FIVE. CERTAINLY BRIAN I WOULD BE.ANYONE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH GENUINE BRIAN? NOT AT ALL. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? THE LISTENING TO PUT FORTH DISAPPOINTED DEIDRE WOULD INTO PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING SHE WAS INTERESTED IN. TO THAT SO. SHE'S NOT ON THIS LIST. IF SHE IF CAN WE CAN NOT? YOU CAN. ABSOLUTELY THOSE ARE JUST THOSE THAT WERE FORMALLY SUBMITTED AND WE KNOW THAT MISS WOODARD'S NAME CAME WAS PRESENTED AFTER THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND THAT'S TOTALLY UNTRUE DISCRETION. SHOW MY SUPPORT IT. SUPPORT THAT I'D ALSO, UM GO OFF THE RESERVATION OF THIS LIST OF NAMES A LITTLE BIT AND PUT THE NAME ROGER HARRIS ON THERE. UM YOU KNOW, ROGERS DONE A LOT. AND IF WE COULD DO A LOT WORSE THAN ROGER ON THIS ASK A QUESTION IF I MAY. UH UM, STRATEGICALLY, DOES IT MAKE SENSE THAT WE PUT A LARGE NUMBER OF VOTERS OUT THERE WHEN WE ONLY CONTROL 209 VOTES? AND IS IT NOT BETTER FOR US TO NOMINATE FEWER AND GO OUT AND CAMPAIGN WITH THE OTHER VOTING INSTITUTIONS IN OUR AREA? PRIMARILY THE M UTD IN ORDER TO SUPPORT LESSER CAN ONE CANDIDATE RATHER THAN FIVE TO AVOID PROVIDING ADVICE TO YOU, BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR STRATEGY, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 5000 VOTES THAT WILL BE CAST AND YOUR NOMINATION TONIGHT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THAT PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL WILL BE INCLUDED, BECAUSE IT'S THE COLLECTIVE VOTES WILL BE CAST BY ALL MEMBERS ON THAT BALLOT, SO THE TOP FIVE VOTE GETTERS WILL BE A PART OF THAT CAT, AND THAT'S COLLECTIVELY FROM ALL THE PARTICIPATING CITIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE PART OF THE CAT 5000 VOTES OF THOSE WE GET 209. OKAY SO TO THE MAYOR PRO TEM QUESTION, THOUGH. THEORETICALLY WE COULD ONLY APPROACH WITH ONE NAME, OR WE COULD AVAIL OURSELVES OF ALL FIVE. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT THAT MEANS YOU HAVE A LARGER CANDIDATE PULL, WHICH IS A GREATER CHANCE TO DILUTE THE VOTE FOR ONE CANDIDATE WHO'S AN INCUMBENT? I HEAR YOU THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT EACH ACCESSING INTO THE IN THE DISTRICT. HAS A BOAT. THE NUMBER OF VOTES EQUIVALENT TO THE TAX DOLLARS THAT THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING. YES, SIR. AND SO. WHO HAS THE WHO HAS THE MOST STD STD? I THINK THERE ARE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT CAME FROM PLANO. ON THE EXISTING BOARD AND ONE FROM ALAN. BRIAN RECEIVED VOTES I BELIEVE FROM PROSPER WAS WHEN ONE OF THE REASONS THAT HE ULTIMATELY CROSSED THE THRESHOLD. AND SO I DO AGREE WITH YOU, CHARLIE THAT IT IS BETTER TO CONCENTRATE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS AN INCUMBENT IN PLACE, AND IF WE CAN, I THINK OF THE TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE ADDED POST BRIAN, I THINK I'LL AMEND MY SUPPORT TO BE BRIAN SOLO. TAKEN. IN THE SCRIPT, MAKING SURE WE MAINTAIN SOMEBODY FROM THE AND I'D MAKE A MOTION THAT WE NOMINATE BRIAN MANSON. A SECOND CAST YOUR VOTES , I'LL ACCEPT A VERBAL VOTE VERBAL, EXCEPT IF YOU DON'T MIND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE END OF OUR REGULAR AGENDA.
