UM FRISCO, UM THEIR TRUE DECREASE WAS 8.2% SO THEY HAD AUDIT COLLECTIONS THAT BENEFITED THEM, AND THEY'RE STILL SHOWED UP. 4.8% DECREASE FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, PLANO WAS ABOUT THE SAME. THEY'RE THE ONLY SISTER CITY THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY THINGS THAT GO INTO THAT. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WELL, YOU KNOW, THE STATE MY AUDIT A FEW CITIES, THEY MIGHT REALLOCATE SALES TAX. THAT MAY BE A BUSINESS MOVE FROM MCKINNEY TO FIRST GO AND THEY JUST RECOGNIZED IT, SO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK AND MOVE THAT SALES TAX TO FRISCO. THERE'S THINGS LIKE THAT THAT HAPPENED ON A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS AND SOMETIMES BENEFITS YOU. SOMETIMES IT HURTS YOU, UM, BIG PICTURE. I DO NOT KNOW WHY FRISCO HAS BEEN DECREASING LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS. NOW I HAVE QUESTIONS TO THEIR TO THEIR STAFF. MY COUNTERPARTS OVER THERE. I THINK THEY'RE STILL LOOKING INTO IT. OR MAYBE THEY DON'T WANT TO TELL ME EXACTLY YET. UM OBVIOUSLY I HAVE THE INFORMATION FROM MCKINNEY. BUT I CAN'T SEE THAT SAME INFORMATION FOR OUR SISTER CITIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, SO I'M LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN SEE FOR THEM. UM I'M HOPING TO FIND SOME ANSWERS OVER THERE. ALAN SAW A DECREASE. BUT IF WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE TODAY, THERE AT 8.9% YEAR TO DATE, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN STEADILY THIS YEAR INCREASING. MCKINNEY AND PLANO HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE SAME FIRST STARTED OFF STRONG BUT HAS JUST HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF THESE FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT YEAR TO DATE, HONESTLY, WE'RE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THIS FAR THROUGH THE YEAR. AND WITH US BUDGETING, YOU KNOW THE 5% INCREASE WHERE YEAR TO DATE AT 6.3% INCREASE PLANNING TO BE ABOVE BUDGET WITH TWO MONTHS LEFT TO COLLECT. THE LAST PAGES. THE UM YOU KNOW, BY THE INDUSTRY, YOU CAN SEE OUR BIGGEST INDUSTRY. RETAIL TRADE SAW ANOTHER 8% INCREASE, WHICH IS AWESOME. YOU KNOW, THAT'S OUR BIGGEST INDUSTRY THAT SEASON INCREASE IN AN INCREASE IN SALES TAX. SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT CONSTRUCTION GOING DOWN. CONSTRUCTION FLUCTUATES ON A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS, BUT YEAR TODAY THAT'S STILL TURNING REAL WELL. UTILITIES IS TRENDING A LITTLE DOWN, BUT, UM, WITH IT BEING ONE OF OUR LOWER ONES. I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND SEE IF IT PICKS UP WITH THE LAST QUARTER. USUALLY THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WITH UTILITIES. BUT WE JUST WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. THE OTHER ONE'S KIND OF FLUCTUATE AS WELL. SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF THE OTHER ONES. BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE ANY DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHANCE? I KNOW THE CHICKS WERE ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU. YOU ARE NOW

[00:25:02]

AWESOME THANKS FOR THE HOLIDAYS APPRECIATE. THANK YOU. MARKS AND RED BRIAN. GOOD MORNING, BRIAN MULLINS, PARKS AND RECREATION GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE WAY A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THEM INSTALLING A TREE. WE HAD SOME TREES UNINSTALLED IRWIN PARK PROPERTY YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT KIND OF POPPED UP IN SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS AND EVERYWHERE. WE HAD A LITTLE DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNCIL ABOUT IT. SO THE DEVELOPER OF THE PROPERTY EAST OF URBAN PARK DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY REMOVES SOME TREES THAT ENCROACH ONTO PARK PROPERTY A LITTLE BIT. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO REMEDIATE THAT SO WE ARE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.

THEY DID DEPART PROPERTY. THERE WAS A SECTION OF THE MOUNTAIN BIKING TRAIL THAT WAS DESTROYED THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REROUTED. IN FACT, I PUT A PUT SOME INFORMATION IN PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL AND SATURDAY BEFORE THAT, THE GROUP HAD ALREADY GOTTEN OUT THERE AND REDID THE TRAIL IN ABOUT FOUR HOURS. SO EARLY FEEDBACK ON THAT REROUTE IS THAT IT'S BETTER. THEY LIKE IT, SO MAYBE IT'S A POSITIVE. RYAN CAN I ASK A QUESTION THERE? YOU SAID THAT. THE DEVELOPER ENCROACHED ON TO IRWIN PARKLAND. I HAD ALSO HEARD THAT THERE WERE TRAILS THERE HAD ENCROACHED ON TO THE PRIVATE PROPERTY. YES, SIR. NO ONE MISSED THAT. BUT, YEAH, THE TRAIL DID ACTUALLY GO ON TO THE DEVELOPERS PROPERTY. SO LOOKING AT URBAN PARK THAT PARK WAS DEDICATED IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. PROPERTY LINES WERE A LITTLE VAGUE AT THE TIME. THEREG THAT THINK WHEN THE DOORBELL WAS INSTALLING THE TRAIL MAY HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS A PROPERTY LINE, BUT IT WASN'T THAT FENCE LINE WAS INSIDE THE DEVELOPERS PROPERTY, SO THEY DEVELOPED THE TRAIL. IT WAS A SMALL SECTION OF THE TRAIL. THERE WAS REALLY ALMOST JUST ON THE PROPERTY LINE . WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE PART LOOKING AT ALL THE TRAIL TO MAKE SURE THE SEA WHERE WE'RE ON OR OFF PROPERTY AND FIX ALL OF THAT. SO ULTIMATELY DID THE DEVELOPER MAKE ANY MISTAKES THAT THEY DO ANYTHING DID THEY TAKE TREES THAT THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO TAKE? OR IS THIS JUST, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT ON OUR PROPERTY LINE OF PART THAT PEOPLE ENJOY. LITTLE BIT OF BOTH . SO THE DEVELOPER WAS WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS ON THEIR SIDE TO DO EVERYTHING IN THE PROPERTY LINES WENT UP. THEY NEEDED TO CLEAR SOME OF THE TREES TO GET IN THERE TO PUT THE EROSION FENCING STATE THE PROPERTY LINE WHEN WE HAD THAT, AFTER THEY HAD DONE THAT, WE NOTICED A SMALL SECTION WHERE IT LOOKED AS IF THEY HAD EITHER BACK THEN OR WHAT TOOK OUT ABOUT 19 TREES IN TOTAL AND TOO LITTLE TO DIFFERENT AREAS. SO IT WASN'T I WOULDN'T SAY SO MUCH AS INTENTIONAL, BUT MISTAKES HAPPEN AND THEY WENT INTO OUR PROPERTY. BUT ALSO ON THAT SAME DAY OF NOVEMBER 4TH WHEN THE TRAIL WAS REROUTED MCKINNEY PARKS FOUNDATION ALONG WITH ABOUT 35 VOLUNTEERS PLANTED ABOUT 76 TREES IN URBAN PARK ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY MAKING WAY FOR WHEN THE BYPASS COMES. SO WE WENT FROM THE SETBACK THAT WILL BE THE RIGHT AWAY FOR THE BYPASS PLANET ABOUT, SAID 76 TREES. THERE WAS A GREAT EFFORT. CONSTRUCTION WILL START SOON ON THE RENOVATIONS OF RANDALL'S. WE'VE ALREADY HELD THE PRECONSTRUCTION

[00:30:04]

SO WE'RE THINKING THAT PROJECT WILL STILL WRAP UP IN ABOUT A YEAR FROM THE STATE. KENNY ARMED SERVICE. MORE BOARD HELD THEIR ANNUAL VETERANS DAY CEREMONY AND OUR MAYOR, FULLER ANNOUNCED THE RENAMING OF THE PARK THE COUNCIL DID ON OCTOBER 17TH 2 CORPORAL RD FOSTER VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. AND ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH DEPARTURE. ACTIVATE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. WE HAD OUR EPIC KIND EVENT, WHICH IS THE ONE DAY STAFF DEVELOPMENT AT THE SHERATON WILL BRING ALL OF OUR STAFF TOGETHER FOR LUNCHEON THAT TEND TO MANY CONFERENCE SESSIONS. WE HAD A KEYNOTE SPEAKER, WHICH WAS MCKINNEY ZONE, JOHNNY QUINN. WE GET A BIG TEAM PICTURE TOGETHER.

IT'S ABOUT THE ONLY TIME WE CAN GET EVERYONE TOGETHER BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY OF US. IT WAS A GREAT DAY SO FAR BY STAFF. EVERYONE SEEMED TO ENJOY THE DAY. GREAT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY THAT CAME SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY FOR EVERYONE THAT WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITH US THAT DAY. AND ALSO WE WERE JUST RECENTLY INFORMED THAT WE WON TWO AWARDS WITH THE TEXAS RECREATION AND PARKS SOCIETY NORTH REGION. WE WANT EXCELLENCE AND PROGRAMMING FOR TRICK OR TREAT TRAIL EVENT AND EXCELLENCE AND PART DESIGN FOR MARY WILL CRAIG PARK. HOPEFULLY ROBINSON RIDGE MAYBE NEXT YEAR ACROSS MY FINGERS ON THAT ONE ON DECEMBER 2ND AT THE OLD SETTLERS RECREATION CENTER RURAL HOST OUR ANNUAL BREAKFAST WITH SANTA. I KNOW HE'S A BUSY MAN, BUT HE'S GOING TO STOP IN AND HAVE BREAKFAST WITH SOME OUR KIDDOS THERE. THAT CONCLUDES FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, JUST FOR THE ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION AROUND A LOT OF SOCIAL MEDIA CHATTER ABOUT THAT MATTER, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION. ON THAT ONE TO KEEP US INFORMED OF WHAT IS GOING ON. CONGRATULATIONS ALSO ON YOUR RECOGNITION. GREAT JOB. I'M NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. ANY QUESTIONS? ANALYST. YEAH I DO.

UM MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU. SO WELCOME TO THE JOB CONTINUED WELCOME TO YOU TO THE INTERIM ROLE. I REALLY ENJOYED. UM WHEN KOWSKI WAS CHAIR OR, YOU KNOW, IN CHARGE OF PARKS BECAUSE I WOULD GET TO WIND TO HIM ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS THAT I FOUND WRONG WITH THE PARKS AND, UM AS ALWAYS, EVERYTHING IS HE WOULD ALWAYS FIX EVERYTHING. AND HE HE WAS AWESOME. RIGHT YOU CONTINUE TO BE AWESOME, AND I WANTED TO JUST HIGHLIGHT OUR PARKS TEAM A LITTLE BIT. I WAS RUNNING IN. I WAS RUNNING ON THE TRAIL BETWEEN TOWN LAKE AND, UM BONNIE WANK AND I. IT WAS EARLY ISH FRIDAY MORNING, AND THERE WAS A TREE DOWN VERY LARGE TREE DOWN ACROSS THE TRAIL, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, MAN, I WISH KOWSKI WAS STILL IN CHARGE. I COULD JUST TEXT HIM AND BE LIKE, HEY, CAN YOU FIX THAT TREE? BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE YOUR NUMBER NOW, AND I WAS LIKE, UH, THEY'LL THEY'LL GET TO IT.

I'M SURE THEY'RE I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO IT. THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW YET. UM AND SO I RAN UP TO BONNIE WANK. I DID THAT LITTLE LOOP THERE. I RAN BACK TO TOWN LAKE. AND BY THE TIME I GOT BACK TO THAT TREE, YOUR STAFF WAS REMOVING IT AND FIXING IT. IT WAS 20 MINUTES. UM BETWEEN ME RUNNING PAST THE FIRST TIME IN GETTING BACK TO IT, AND SO I WAS, OF COURSE, NOT AT ALL SURPRISED THAT ARE AWESOME. PARK STAFF WAS ON TOP OF IT, AND IMMEDIATELY, UM, TAKING CARE AND MAINTAINING OUR PARKS. UM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY KNOW THAT TREES FALL DOWN IF I DON'T TELL THEM BUT YESTERDAY IS THINK IT APPARENTLY , UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN ALARM BUTTON THAT TREES PUSH WHEN THEY FALL OR SOMETHING, BUT, UM, AS ALWAYS, OUR PARK STAFF. UM, IS AWESOME. I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO A PARTICULAR PARK STAFF MEMBER WHO I CAN'T FIND HIS NAME RIGHT NOW, BUT I WILL HE AND PARKING HELP ME OUT WITH THIS. HE WORKS IN,

[00:35:01]

BUT I'M NOT 100% BUT I'LL GET THAT NAME AND I CAN GET YOU MY CELL PHONE NUMBER AND GET IT TO EVERYONE HERE. I LIKE IT TOO. YEAH I THINK OUR STAFF MUST FEEL THE PRESENCE IN THE FORCE WHEN A TREE GOES DOWN TO MAYBE JUST HURTS INSIDE. OF COURSE, ESPECIALLY ADAM ARE OUR TRAIN GREW GREW FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DEPARTMENT. BUT ALL THE TIME THE STORM DAMAGE YOU KNOW, TREES DO FALL DOWN, UNFORTUNATELY, GET OLD AND THAT WILL HAPPEN. AND MAYBE THE SLIGHTEST WIND, SO THAT CAN HAPPEN. YOU SAW RECENTLY IN PLANO. THEY'RE BAROQUE THAT WAS HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD FELL DOWN, AND I THINK THEY PASSED THE TORCH TO US WITH PROBABLY THE OLDEST BAROQUE AND COLLIN COUNTY NOW, WHICH IS THAT? THE HERD CRAIG, WHICH I BELIEVE IS OVER 300 YEARS OLD. YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE TREES ARE REMOVED NEXT URBAN SOME OF THE BIGGEST I'D SEEN. OF COURSE, THEY WERE ALL IN THE DEVELOPERS PROPERTY THAT'S WITHIN THEIR RIGHT. BUT YOU KNOW, WE HATE TO SEE THERESE COME DOWN. IT'S NECESSARY AT TIMES, BUT WE ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID IT AND WORK AROUND IT WHENEVER WE CAN, BUT OUR CREWS TAKE THEIR TAKE PRIDE IN KEEPING MAINTAINING THE TRAIL. THE NEW TRAIL SWEEPER FORGOT TO MENTION IT. THAT M T.

D C FUNDED HAS BEEN EXCELLENT. SO STAFF IS USED IT EVEN JUST WITH THE LEAVES FALLING FROM THE TREES ON THE GROUND, SO THEY'RE REALLY ENJOYING THAT UNIT AND IT'S HELPING WITH THEIR WORK TREMENDOUSLY. SO THEY DO TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT THEY DO, BUT GIVING THEM THE RIGHT TOOLS IS OUR JOB TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN DO IT PROPERLY. WELL YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT AS ALWAYS. THANK

[President’s Report]

AND WHEN, SO I HAD A GREAT MEETING WITH THEM, THEN. UM CHANCE MENTIONED THE RE APPROPRIATION PROCESS AND I'M WORKING WITH HIS TEAM. NOW MANY OF OUR GRANTS DON'T FOLLOW THE FISCAL YEAR BRIDGE FISCAL YEARS, SO WE GO THROUGH PROCESS ANNUALLY TO IDENTIFY WHAT AMOUNT NEEDS TO BE CARRIED FORWARD. SO THAT IS WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON UNDERSTATE LAW, UM FOR TYPE B CORPORATIONS IF THERE ARE FUNDS BUDGETED FOR PROMOTIONAL USE, AND THEY ARE NOT EXPENDED THEY CAN BE CARRIED FORWARD. SO THAT IS THE OTHER PIECE THAT WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT. COUPLE OF DATES COMING UP THAT I WANT PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF NOVEMBER. 30TH IS THE DEADLINE FOR PROMOTIONAL AND COMMUNITY EVENT GRANTS FIRST CYCLE FOR THIS YEAR, DECEMBER 1ST, UM WE'LL OPEN UP OUR FIRST PROJECT GRANT CYCLE, AND AS LINDA MENTIONED LAST MONTH WE'RE MOVING TO AND TOTAL ONLINE FORMAT FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS. SO ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW THAT WORKS. AND. THIS SATURDAY DISTRICT 121 IS CELEBRATING THEIR GRAND OPENING, SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE EVERYBODY THERE. THE PARK. PUBLIC SPACE THAT THEY HAVE CREATED. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. THEY'VE PUT UP LIGHTS HOLIDAY SEASON VERY SPARKLY. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER

[00:40:02]

[Update on Project 4B 23-08 Submitted by McKinney Housing Authority for The Remnant at Greenwood, LP.]

WE ADMINISTER THE PUBLIC HOUSING COMPONENT AND THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM. WHAT IS PUBLIC HOUSING SO PUBLIC HOUSING FOR THE MOST PART, 5060 YEARS AGO WAS A TRADITIONAL HOUSING THEY BUILT, UH, FOR OLD PUBLIC HOUSING. YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER HERE, UH, THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES, ELDERLY PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. ALL OF THOSE FAMILIES WHO ARE ON PUBLIC HOUSING INDOOR SECTION EIGHT. ESSENTIALLY THERE'S A FORMULA THAT'S CALCULATED AND THEY PAY APPROXIMATELY 30% OF THEIR ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME TOWARDS THE RENT. SO IF SOMEBODY IS MAKING $1000 A MONTH, THAT'S $12,000 A YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY 30% OF THAT INCOME IS USED FOR THEIR PORTION OF THE RENT. THE REMAINDER IS SUBSTITUTES. IN COLLIN COUNTY. THESE ARE THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES SERVICE IN COLLIN COUNTY. YOU'VE GOT FRISCO HOUSING AUTHORITY THEY HAVE ABOUT 23 PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS, AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE CONVERTED THAT TO LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PRODUCT. MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY COLLECTIVELY BETWEEN OUR VOUCHERS, THE TAX CREDIT PRODUCTS AND OUR PUBLIC HOUSING.

WE HAVE 812 UNITS OF HOUSING ASSISTANCE. IN PLANO HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS ROUGHLY 983 UNITS.

ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED ABOUT THE INCOME LIMIT SUMMARY. AND SO HERE YOU'VE GOT THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME FOR THIS AREA HERE IN COLLIN COUNTY. YOU'VE GOT THE LIST WITH REGARD TO PERSONS IN THE FAMILY, SO LET'S JUST LOOK AT VERY LOW INCOME. ONE PERSON 36,100 EXTREMELY LOW INCOME 21,700. SO SOMEBODY WHO'S GETTING A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK OF $1000 A MONTH. THERE YOU KNOW , OVERALL INCOME IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 12,000. SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA ABOUT WHY THERE MIGHT BE A NEED FOR, UH, AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR MORE OF IT . YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE OF THAT NUMBER IS PRETTY HIGH AS IT RELATES TO WHAT THE LIMITS ARE, AND WE WILL BELOW THOSE LIMITS. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF OUR PROGRAM. FOR THE MOST PART, WE'VE GOT THE 51 PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS. THOSE ARE THE UNITS THAT YOU GUYS ARE HELPING US TO TRANSITION OUT OF RIGHT NOW, WITH THE REMNANT AT GREENWOOD PRODUCT. 150 PROJECT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. UNITS SO THE 150 UNITS ARE COMBINED WITH THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT UNITS. WE DID THE NEWSOME HOMES PROJECT AND THE MERIT HOMES PROJECT. AND SO THOSE ARE THE 115 166 UNITS COMBINED. ARE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS. WE HAVE A BASELINE OF 366 VOUCHERS HEARD ORIGINALLY WAS FUNDING HOUSING AUTHORITIES BASED ON THE BASELINE. 366 VOUCHERS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN FUNDED AT AND ABOUT 2009 2010. THEY CONVERTED TO BUDGET AUTHORITY. SO NOW INSTEAD OF FUNDING YOU BASED ON YOUR BASELINE NUMBER, THEIR FUNDING YOU BASED ON YOUR BUDGET AUTHORITY, SO THAT'S SIGNIFICANT IN IT AS IT RELATES TO THIS LITTLE CHART THAT YOU SEE AS THAT'S OUR UTILIZATION CHART. SO IF YOU LOOK IN THE MIDDLE THERE THERE IS A AVERAGE. AMOUNT THAT WE'RE SPENDING OVER HALF IT'S ABOUT 1000 $46, SO THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY IS THE AVERAGE AMOUNT

[00:45:02]

IN THOSE MEETING THOSE INCOME LEVELS OF POVERTY. I'M SORRY. LET ME ASK A QUESTION. SO IF I'M IF I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE FIRST ROW FOR THE WHITE INDIVIDUALS SO ABOUT 95% DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE POVERTY RATE THRESHOLD. SO ARE WE LOOKING AT CITY MCKINNEY MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY.

MCKINNEY FIRST ROW FOR THE WHITE INDIVIDUALS, RIGHT? SO IN POVERTY YOU'VE GOT ABOUT 4572 THAT WOULD MAKE THAT POVERTY LEVEL AS IT RELATES TO THE INCOME LIMITS. SO 95% DO NOT LIKE ARE NOT QUOTE UNQUOTE AT THE POVERTY LEVEL BUT ARE STILL QUALIFYING FOR THE VOUCHER. NO, THEY DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE VOUCHER. THEY WOULDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE VOUCHER. 95% OF THE CAUCASIAN POPULATION OR OR NOT IN THE POVERTY SITUATION. SO I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT I WAS LOOKING AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE RECEIVING THE VOUCHERS. NO, NO, NO. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. THIS IS MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY. THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT WERE STARVING. YOU SEE OUR NUMBERS? ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE SERVING THAT'S OUR DEMOGRAPHICS. THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR OUR DEMOGRAPHICS. MCKINNEY'S GENERAL POPULATION PERIOD IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW A SIMILAR TABLE FOR THOSE RECEIVING THE VOUCHERS? EVERYBODY THAT HAS THE VOUCHER TO HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THIS IS ALL OF OUR PUBLIC HOUSING ALL 800 NOT ALL EIGHT AND 12 UNITS, BUT I VOUCHERS AND 51 PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

THE PEOPLE THAT WERE SERVING THE GREATEST POPULATION IS AFRICAN AMERICANS. 73.2% THE CAUCASIAN POPULATION IS 24.3% AND YOU CAN SEE THE TIME. SORRY BUT I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A PROPORTION OF THOSE. RECEIVING VOUCHERS WHO WERE AND WE'RE NOT IN THE POVERTY RATE THRESHOLD. JUST TO SEE IF THERE WAS LIKE A MATCH. DO THEY HAVE TO MEET THE POVERTY ? BECAUSE POVERTY IS A DIFFERENT DEFINITION? OKAY OKAY. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. OKAY SO LET'S TAKE IT FROM THIS.

THIS POINT OF THE RIGHT. UM MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY ON THIS LIST WERE SERVING ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE. RIGHT ABOUT 600 PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SERVING ABOUT 600 PEOPLE IN YOUR TOTAL POPULATION OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN YOUR POVERTY BRACKET YOU'VE GOT ABOUT 15,000 PEOPLE HERE. SO WHAT I'M SHOWING YOU IS JUST A COMPARISON OF THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WERE SERVING IS ABOUT MAYBE SIX OR 700. BUT ALL OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE POVERTY LEVEL IN YOUR CITY COULD POTENTIALLY NEED HOUSING ASSISTANCE. THAT MAKES SENSE NOW. SORT OF, BUT IT RAISES A

[00:50:06]

SO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT OUR DEMOGRAPHICS, I'M SHOWING YOU THE 3, THE 7TH 74 MAINSTREAM FIVE VETERANS AND THE 51. PUBLIC HOUSING. OKAY THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS OUR DEMOGRAPHICS.

THOSE ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE DIRECTLY COMING OUT OF OUR POOL OF FUNDING THAT WE ADMINISTER.

SO IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE DEVELOPED A NEW SOME PROPERTY AND THE MAYOR AT HOMES PROPERTIES. THOSE PROPERTIES ARE FUNDED IN A DIFFERENT BUCKET. SO I DON'T HAVE THOSE DEMOGRAPHICS INCLUDING YOUR HERE BECAUSE I'M NOT. I'M NOT ACTUALLY HAVING TO ADMINISTER OR PAY THOSE FUNDS OUT DIRECTLY. WE ARE THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY, BUT WE HAVE MANAGEMENT TEAMS THAT ARE ACTUALLY PAYING THOSE FUNDS OUT. DOES THAT HAVE SEPARATED FOR YOU? BUT THE NUMBERS HERE ON THIS SLIDE 12 CORRECT SO UNDER OUR PURVIEW ARE TOTAL PURVIEW, OWNERSHIP AND VOUCHERS OR WHATEVER WE ADMINISTER. WE HAD 812 UNITS. OKAY AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO'S GETTING SOME FORM OF ASSISTANCE TO LIVE AND ONE OF THOSE 812 UNITS AT THE POVERTY LEVEL. YES THEY WOULD HAVE THE INCOME QUALIFIED? YES, OKAY. THANK YOU, OKAY. AND JUST TO CLARIFY THIS GROUP THAT'S OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT. THAT'S THE FOLKS ONLY THE 51 IN THE VOUCHER COMPONENTS, OKAY? YOU HAD A QUESTION. NO I WAS JUST GOING BACK TO THE NUMBERS THAT YOU HAD SAID EARLIER THINKING ABOUT THE 15,000 PLUS OR WHATEVER THE TOTAL NUMBER IS THAT LIVE IN THE CITY MCKINNEY THAT ARE AT THAT POVERTY LEVEL. AND THEN THE 812 UNITS THAT YOU HAVE TO SERVE THEM. I WAS JUST KIND OF IN MY MIND, JUST REFLECTING ON THOSE NOTES. THAT'S WHY THE BIGGER DISCUSSION IS MISS CINDY AND THE HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS KIM FLAM. THEY'VE BEEN LEADING THE CHARGE WITH REGARD TO OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DISCUSSIONS, AND SO I THINK THAT IS THE GREATER DISCUSSION. WE ALL COLLECTIVELY HAVE BEEN SITTING DOWN, LOOKING AT WAYS TO ADDRESS THAT CONCERN. AND SO I THINK THAT I COME IN THEM FOR DOING THE WORK. SO PART OF OUR MISSION AND STRATEGIC PLAN IS TO INCREASE THE OVERALL AGENCY PERFORMANCE STATUS, PROMOTE A PATH TO SELF SUFFICIENCY FOR RESIDENTS WITH HCV CLIENTS PLAN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CLIENTS, AGING IN PLACE INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. DIVERSIFY MHM REVENUE BASE TO SUPPORT OUR MISSION AND ENHANCE OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS. UM THESE ARE SOME OF THE GOALS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. WE'VE INCREASED THE AGENCY PERFORMANCE AND CAPACITY WHILE THE HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR THE MOST PART WERE ADMINISTRATORS. WE DON'T LOOK TO BE DEVELOPERS. BUT YOU KNOW, IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WE'VE KIND OF BEEN FORCED TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION OPENED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PARTNER WITH THE PRIVATE MARKET TO DEVELOP PROPERTY AND TO ADDRESS ITS BACKLOG OF REPAIRS FOR 3400 PUBLIC HOUSING. UM AGENCIES. AND SO WITH THAT WE DEVELOPED THE MERIT PROPERTY. WE DEVELOPED THE NEW SOME HOMES PROPERTY, AND SO THAT KIND OF STRENGTHEN SOME OTHER RELATIONSHIPS AND OPENED UP THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY INCREASED AVAILABLE AVAILABLE AVAILABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS THROUGH THAT PROPERTY THROUGH THAT PROJECT, AS WELL. WE'VE INCREASED OUR VOUCHERS. AS WE STATED EARLIER. WE STARTED OUT WITH 355 VOUCHERS AS WE CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK AND MEET OUR GOALS AS FAR AS MEETING HEARD SCHOOLS WITH COMPLIANCE AUDITS, AND WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO COMPROMISE THE PROGRAM. WE'RE ABLE TO GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING, AND SO WE'VE GOT THE MAINSTREAM VOUCHERS. WE'VE GOT THE VETERANS VOUCHERS AND SO WE'VE GOT ADDITIONAL FUNDS. AS WELL TO SUPPORT ABOUT THE PROGRAM WITH THE VOUCHER PROGRAM AND THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. WE WERE ABLE TO OPEN UP OUR WAITING LIST OCTOBER THE 18TH AND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED THE WEDDING LIST WAS FILLED CAPACITY WITH 500 APPLICANTS IN LESS THAN AN HOUR, SO WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO APPLY WAS JAMMED. WE LITERALLY HAD TROUBLE TRYING TO,

[00:55:02]

OPENER. ANY QUESTIONS FROM MR MILLER? I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE A COMMENT. I THINK I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, MADAM CHAIR. WE NEED MORE. PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS IN MCKINNEY. I THINK WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE NEED AND HOW MANY MORE WE NEED. I DON'T THINK WE GIVE ENOUGH ATTENTION TO HOW MUCH WE'VE DONE. AND HOW MUCH BETTER THAN OUR SISTER CITIES. WE ARE HOW MUCH BETTER THAN THE, UM THE BROADER COMMUNITY. I THINK I SAW A NEWS ARTICLE JUST A MONTH AGO THAT WE HAVE MUCH WHAT WE ARE MUCH BETTER POSITIONED ON PUBLIC HOUSING. THEN, UM THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE REGION, AND I AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU SAID THAT FRISCO HAS 23

[01:00:01]

SO WE GET THAT NOTICED OUT TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE LIBRARIES, THE SHELTERS ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT VENUES, AND WE HAVE IT OUT THERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO THAT FOLKS CAN BE ABLE TO KNOW THAT IT'S HAPPENING. UH, YOU KNOW, HONESTY, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE GOAL ISN'T SO MUCH TO HAVE PUBLIC HOUSING. OR, UM TRADITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT TO HAVE A AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS SO THAT WE DON'T JUST YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE APPLIED. WE HAVE 500 APPLICANTS, BUT WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST THEM FROM, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS TO 6 TO 10 YEARS, IT'S BASED ON OUR BUDGET AUTHORITIES STILL GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S A YES, WE GOT HIM ON THE LIST THAT ONLY GOES SO FAR AND HOW MANY ARE ON THE LIST RIGHT NOW? SO OUR TOTAL LIST RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 7 57 15 DO YOU KNOW OF THAT? 750 HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY EVEN ELIGIBLE? I DON'T BECAUSE WE ONLY DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY AS WE'RE ABLE TO ASSIST ABLE TO SET WAS JUST WONDERING HOW LIKE INFLATED THAT NUMBER WAS IN TERMS OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD EVEN QUALIFY. WE DON'T KNOW THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT. BUT RARELY HAVE WE HAD TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T INCOME QUALIFY. YOU TURN THEM AWAY FOR OTHER REASONS. IT COULD BE A CRIMINAL ISSUE. IT COULD BE THE OH FORMER PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY. UM THOSE ARE GENERALLY THE ONLY REASONS OR YOU KNOW THEY WE HAVE SOME CRITERIA THAT WE CAN'T ASSIST PERIOD. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, RARELY DO WE HAVE TO TURNING PEOPLE AWAY BECAUSE THEY DON'T INCOME QUALIFIED. THANK YOU. THE UM I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION WITH THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM, WHICH I LOVE TO HEAR TO GET PEOPLE TO OWNERSHIP. HOW MANY DO YOU HOPE TO SERVE? DO YOU HAVE A NUMBER IN MIND? OR IS IT JUST SO FAR AVAILABLE? SO FOR THE EMPHASIS PROGRAM? WE HAVE 25 PARTICIPANTS IN OUR GOAL RIGHT NOW, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THEM OVER TWO YEAR PERIOD. IF I LOOK AT MY SISTER HOUSING AUTHORITIES THAT ARE DOING THIS WORK DALLAS AND FORT WORTH THEY'RE USING, USUALLY GETTING IN, MAYBE 10 TO 20 A YEAR. SO YOU KNOW, THAT'S STILL A THAT'S A SMALL NUMBER. AH BUT THAT HAS MUCH MORE TO DO WITH THE AVAILABLE HOUSING AND THE COST OF THAT HOUSING. SO. NEXT QUESTION IS THE IS THE FOSTER CARE ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE AGING OUT? IS THAT A FEDERAL GRANT? YES IS THAT IN PARTNERSHIP DO YOU KNOW WITH LIKE HHS OR IS THAT PURELY FROM IT IS MHM.

THANK YOU. SO I HAVE A COMMENT. HAVING WATCHED YOU UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. OVER THE YEARS. UM, FROM THE WHITE THINGS USED TO BE. AS OPPOSED TO WHAT THEY HAVE. MOVE TOWARD I'M SURE YOU MUST BE VERY PLEASED. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU. THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE STRIDES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. IN TERMS OF COLLABORATION. AND MOVEMENT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. AND I WOULD JUST ECHO THAT, UM, HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ALONGSIDE CINDY AND THE WONDERFUL COLLABORATIVE GROUP THAT'S COME TOGETHER TO FORM WHAT WE ARE NOW CALLING THE FRONT PORCH MCKINNEY FRONT PORCH HAS TAKEN ON A REAL SENSE OF, UM I GUESS SPECIFICITY INTO THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE ARE ABLE
