[Engineering Department Employee Recognition]
GOING TO START WITH INFORMATION INFORMATION SHARING ITEM. 24 1107 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION. MAYOR THANK YOU, COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY HERE, UM RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WE WANTED WANTED TO TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY ABOUT CODY CLARK.WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A RESIDENT MISTY SUSSMAN, AND SHE WAS OUT DOING FOOD FOOD SERVICE DELIVERY AND HAD A LITTLE ISSUE WITH HER CAR. SHE WAS AT 121 AND LAKE FOREST HAD A BLOWOUT, AND SO SHE WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATOR CAR OVER OVER BY THE RACETRACK BY THE BANK. AND SO SHE'S YOU KNOW, BEING THE DEDICATED EMPLOYEES. SHE IS. SHE LEFT HER CAR HAD THE HAZARD. SHE VISUALLY WALKED HER FOOD OVER TO A DELIVERY, BUT BUT CODY IS OUT HERE. UM YOU'RE DOING HIS THING. HE HAD TO STOP AT THE BANK, AND HE SEES THE CAR PULL OVER AND HE GOES AND DOES HIS BUSINESS. PLEASE KEEPING AN EYE ON WHAT'S GOING ON? HE'S SHE SEES HE SEES THE LADY COME BACK. AND HE SEES THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. AND SO HE STOPS BY ASKED HER. SHE NEEDS SOME HELP. AND SHE, YOU KNOW, HAS THAT A LITTLE EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN? YEP I NEED SOME HELP. AND UH SO, CODY, UM, OFFERED TO CHANGE YOUR TIRE, SHE SAID. I DON'T HAVE A JACK. HE'S LIKE IT'S OKAY. I GOT A JACK IN OUR TRUCK, SO IT PULLS OVER HIS JACK. CHANGES THE TIRE. UM SEES THE TIRE NEEDS AIR HELPS HER GET OVER TO THE RACETRACK FILLS THE TIRE UP WITH AIR BUT DURING THE PROCESS OF CHANGING TIRES, ALSO SEES THAT THE TIRES ARE BALD AND SHE NEEDS NEW TIRES. SO IT SAYS HERE, LET ME HELP YOU OUT. LET ME GIVE YOU $100 CASH. GO AND GET SOME NEW TIRES. THIS IS ON DECEMBER 21ST RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. JUST A SELFLESS ACT. RIGHT? UM THE RESIDENT, MISS STUTMAN EMAILED MR GRIMES AND LET HIM KNOW ABOUT THE ACT AND SAID, WELL, LUCKILY, I GOT 40 TIRES FOR CHRISTMAS. BUT I WAS ABLE TO USE THE MONEY THAT CODY GAVE HER FOR AN ALIGNMENT TO HELP MAKE THE CAR A LITTLE SAFER TO DRIVE. AND SO WHEN WE HEAR THESE STORIES ABOUT HOW OUR EMPLOYEES ARE SHOWING OUR RISE VALUES TO NOT ONLY EACH OTHER STAFF MEMBERS BUT ALL OUR CITIZENS AS WELL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, YOU KNOW OUT THERE, IT'S JUST WONDERFUL, AND SO WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE CODY AND ALSO PRESENT HIM WITH THE RICE COIN. YOU KNOW OUR RISE VALUES? UM YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT SERVICE HOW OUR SERVICE SELFLESS PUBLIC SERVANTS. WE'RE HERE TO SERVE AND HELP OTHERS. WE ARE CARING AND COMPASSIONATE. WE TREAT EVERYONE THE WAY WE WISH TO BE TREATED. WE ALSO INTEGRITY. WE ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THINGS, AND THOSE ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF WHAT CODY DID OUT THERE THAT DAY. AND SO, CODY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT. SO I TOLD CODY. WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE IT AND HE SAID MAN. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIRES I'VE CHANGED OUT THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CODY. I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THAT, UM I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS AND FACEBOOK MESSAGES IN REGARD TO THAT WHAT YOU DID SPREAD IN THE COMMUNITY, AND JUST RANDOM PEOPLE CALLED AND SAID THEY HEARD ABOUT THIS OR A FRIEND TOLD THEM, UM SO I MEAN, THANK YOU. I MEAN, I KNOW YOU DIDN'T DO IT FOR THAT REASON YOU DID IT BECAUSE YOU'RE A GOOD HUMAN BEING AND YOU. I JUST WANT TO HELP SOMEBODY, BUT IT'S UH IT'S BEEN RECOGNIZED AND THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE COMMUNITY AND I THINK IT HAS EVEN A GREATER IMPACT THAN JUST FOR THAT ONE PERSON BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE THEY HEAR THOSE THINGS. THEY HEAR THOSE STORIES AND IT JUST GIVES THEM A BETTER SENSE OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU. IT'S REALLY GREAT OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS. UM PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. I DON'T SHOW ANY
[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS]
YET. OR I DO HAVE ONE WILL POP UP. I THINK. IT'S NOT SHOWING ON MIND. SO WE HAVE A CARD. MORE.GOOD AFTERNOON. IS THAT THIS MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL WOULD TRY TO CHANGE TERM LIMITS HAVE BEEN
[00:05:03]
STIRRING UP SINCE LAST YEAR AFTER THE FAILED BOND ELECTION IN MAY, AS YET ANOTHER WAY TO GET THE COMMERCIAL AIRPORT PUSHED THROUGH BY KEEPING THE SAME FOLKS IN OFFICE THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE AIRPORT. SO SEEING IT ON THE AGENDA OF A 3 P.M. WORK SESSION WAS NOT SURPRISING. IT'S DISAPPOINTING, BUT IT'S NOT SURPRISING. ADD TO THAT DISAPPOINTMENT IS TO PUT THIS ON AN AGENDA AS A BLANK ITEM LIKE YOU WERE TRYING TO SNEAK ONE PAST US. IT'S SAD THAT WE WERE EXPECTING THIS. SO THE BLANK BAG OF AGENDA IRA ITEM UNFORTUNATELY, DIDN'T FOOL US.MY SHORTNESS. SWEET COMMENTS ARE THAT EXTENDING TERM LIMITS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE VOTERS ARE ASKING FOR, AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY BRING TO YOU AND NOT SOMETHING YOU BRING TO THE VOTERS. IT SCREAMS OF ARROGANCE THAT YOU ARE. AND YOU'RE DEFINITELY PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. I BET IF YOU WENT OUT TODAY. WELL MAYBE NOT TODAY SINCE IT'S SO FREEZING COLD, BUT BUT YOU GET MY POINT AND ASK EVERYONE WALKING AROUND THE SQUARE. IF THEY WERE SUPPORTED IF THEY SUPPORT TERM LIMITS, AND YOU WOULD OVERWHELMINGLY, IF NOT COMPLETELY, THEY WOULD SAY NO. WHEN I SAW A POST THAT PATRICK SAID THAT HE REALIZES THAT THIS IS NOT POPULAR. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS WELL THEN. SO WHY DISCUSS IT? MY GUESS IS THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO PUT THIS ON A LOW TURNOUT ELECTION MAYBE MAY AFTER THE CONTENTIOUS PRIMARY WITH TONS OF VOTER FATIGUE, WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF GETTING THE VOTER INPUT. OUR COUNTRY WAS FORMED TO COUNTER THE KINGS RULING FOREVER. PHENOMENON TERM LIMITS HELP PREVENT ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL FROM ACCUMULATING MASSIVE POWER. THOSE WHO ARGUE IN FAVOR OF TERM LIMITS SAY THAT SUCH LIMITS ARE NECESSARY FOR AMERICA TO KEEP ITS OWN PROMISE TO ITSELF. SO I RESPECTIVELY, SAY WHEN YOUR TERM IS UP JUST GRACEFULLY. GIVE IT UP, GO HOME OR RUN FOR ANOTHER OFFICE DO NOT EXTEND THE TERM LIMITS FOR MCKINNEY CITY OFFICIALS. THANK YOU. CAN YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? CAN YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS FOR US, PLEASE? YOUR YOUR FAIRVIEW RESIDENT? IS THAT CORRECT? I AM HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. AND LET ME RESPOND TO A FEW THINGS YOU SAID. UM BECAUSE GENERALLY WHEN YOU SPEAK, YOU MAKE SOME OFFENSIVE COMMENTS AS YOU DID TODAY. ABOUT MOTIVATIONS OR OR ACCUSATIONS ABOUT THE CITY TRYING TO SNEAK SOMETHING PAST.
IF YOU DID A LITTLE HOMEWORK, YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT TODAY'S WORK SESSION IS A DISCUSSION ITEM ONLY AND IF IT IS GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA WILL BE ON THE NEXT MEETING AGENDA DURING THE REGULAR SESSION ITEM. SO THIS IDEA THAT ANYONE IS TRYING TO SNEAK ANYTHING BY HIS AGAIN JUST ONE OF THE MANY OFFENSIVE COMMENTS YOU MAKE. AS YOU TRAVEL FROM YOUR CITY TO OUR CITY. UM SECONDLY, OF COURSE, THIS WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF THE VOTER. SO IF IT IS PUT ON THE BALLOT, VOTERS WILL DECIDE IF THEY SO CHOOSE TO EXTEND TERM LIMITS. AND IF THEY DON'T THEY WON'T. AS FAR AS ANYBODY UP HERE. I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYONE HAS STATED THEY PLAN ON RUNNING FOR A THIRD TERM. IF THEY'RE ALREADY TERM LIMITED, I GUESS WILL BE DECIDED THAT IT PROPER DATE. WHETHER IT'S AN OPTION AND WITH ANY FEEL LIKE CONTINUING TO DEAL WITH THE I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. YOU DON'T YOU KNOW, YOU ALSO CAN GET THIS RECORDING. ONLINE SO YOUR PHONE RECORDING IS, UH, IS A DUPLICATE OF BETTER RECORDING YOU CAN GET LATER. UM IS THAT THE ONLY COMMENT WE HAVE. WILL MOVE TO DISCUSSING REGULAR MEETING AGENDA ITEMS. CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT LIKE TO DISCUSS ANYTHING WITH STAFF HERE? THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO WORK
[Update on FY23 Performance Management Report]
SESSION. ITEMS UPDATE ON THE FISCAL YEAR 23 PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REPORT. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JOE MAZZOLA, DIRECTOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT. I'M JUST HERE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A NEW EMPLOYEE. YOU HAVEN'T MET YET.SIMON ALI IS THE NEW CITY OF MCKINNEY, PERFORMANCE MANAGER. SHE CAME TO US WITH GREAT CREDENTIALS AND STARTED JUST LAST MONTH. IN FACT, WE CHOSE HER FROM A POOL OF 83 DIFFERENT CANDIDATES THAT APPLIED FOR THE POSITION. SHE'S GOT AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS. SHE'S CURRENTLY WORKING ON A GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN DATA ANALYTICS AT EUNT. SHE HAS OVER A DOZEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN DATA ANALYTICS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT. THE LAST FOUR WORKING IN SUPPORT OF JP CHASE MORE GUN IN PLANO. IN ADDITION TO THAT, SO I'M A IS A FANTASTIC FIT FOR OUR RICE CORE VALUES. OR EMPHASIS ON HIGH PERFORMANCE IN THE GREAT ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE THAT WE TRIED TO ESTABLISH UNDER MR GRIMES WATCH. SO THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT SIMON IS GOING TO DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB TAKING THINGS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL IN THE WAY THAT WE TRACK, ANALYZE AND USE DATA TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, AND DO THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE SUPPORTING YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO SIMON ALI, WHO WILL GIVE YOU A SCORECARD REPORT ON FY 23. THANK
[00:10:03]
YOU. THANK YOU, JOE FOR THE INTRODUCTION. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR COUNCIL, MR GRIMES. TODAY I'LL BE REVIEWING THE FISCAL YEAR 23 PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REPORT.AS PART OF THE REPORT WILL COVER FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS WILL BEGIN WITH A SHORT REVIEW OF OUR ANNUAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT CYCLE. TO MAKE SURE THE STAFF IS WORKING TO SUPPORT YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. NEXT I'LL PROVIDE WITH WITH VISUAL VISUALIZATION OF THE OVERALL STATISTICS FOR FISCAL YEAR, 23. THEN I'LL SHARE A FEW CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE FACED THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR. NEXT. I'LL SHARE SOME SPECIFIC HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
AND LASTLY SHOWS SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF SUCCESS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS A CYCLE THAT WE GO THROUGH EACH YEAR TO MANAGE THE CITY'S PERFORMANCE. SEVERAL OF YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT STARTS OFF WITH YOUR ANNUAL STRATEGY SETTING WORK SESSION IN FEBRUARY. BY THE WAY, YOU'LL BE MEETING NEXT MONTH TO GO OVER THE FISCAL YEAR 25 PRIORITIES. ONCE THAT IS DONE. STAFF THEN DEVELOPS DEPARTMENT LEVEL OBJECTIVES TO SUPPORT YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. IN MAY STAFF PRESENTS THE DETAILED LIST OF THE PROPOSED SUPPORTING OBJECTIVES FOR YOU TO REVIEW AND APPROVE. ONCE THOSE ARE APPROVED , THEY TAKE EFFECT AT THE START OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH IS ON OCTOBER 1ST. AND THEN IN DECEMBER OF EACH YEAR WE PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SCORECARD ON HOW WE DID. WHICH IS WHAT I'M DOING TODAY FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 AGAIN.
IT IS ABOUT A MONTH LATE IN THE CYCLE BECAUSE I JUST STARTED LAST MONTH WITH THE CITY. TO SUPPORT YOUR STRATEGIC PARTIES. WE ESTABLISH 155 DEPARTMENT LEVEL OBJECTIVES FOR FISCAL YEAR 23. HERE YOU HAVE A CHART DISPLAYING A BREAKDOWN OF YOUR STATUS BY EACH DEPARTMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE, STAFF COMPLETED 123 OF THE 155 OBJECTIVES. 18 OF WERE PARTIALLY COMPLETED OR CARRIED OVER INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 14 WERE INCOMPLETE OR PLACED ON HOLD DUE TO CERTAIN CHALLENGES, WHICH WE WILL DISCUSS FURTHER DOWN INTO THE REPORT. ADDITIONALLY THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION, YOU'LL NOTICE SOME COLOR CODING FOR YOUR REFERENCE. GREEN FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN MET OR EXCEEDED. YELLOW OR AMBER THAT ARE PARTIALLY COMPLETED OR CARRIED OVER INTO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. AND RED FOR INCOMPLETE OR PLACED ON HOLD. HERE'S ANOTHER WAY OF VIEWING THE DATA THAT WAS SHOWN IN THE LAST SLIDE. THE CHART SHOWS AN OVERALL REPORT CARD BY EACH DEPARTMENT. PERCENTAGE WISE . WE ARE LOOKING AT 79% COMPLETE 12% THAT WERE PARTIALLY COMPLETED. AND 9% THAT WERE NOT COMPLETE. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR STAFF DID FACE SOME CHALLENGES.
FOR EXAMPLE, SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS SPENT AN EXCEPTIONAL AMOUNT OF TIME WORKING ON THE E R P PROJECT. SPECIFICALLY FINANCE HR AND I T. ADDITIONALLY STAFF WAS WORKING ON OTHER MAJOR BIG TICKET ITEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE NEW CITY HALL PROJECT AND THE MAJOR CODE OVERHAUL. AND LASTLY, WE EMPHASIZED MORE STRONGER STRETCH GOALS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT TO HELP THEM MOVE ALONG IN MORE MEANINGFUL WAYS. AS MENTIONED, OUR DEPARTMENT COMPLETED OR EXCEEDED 123 OBJECTIVES. THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES THAT YOU SEE HERE. THEY REPRESENT SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT FRONTS. LIKE THE 500 FT RUNWAY EXTENSION AT THE MCKINNEY AIRPORT. AND THE OPENING OF THEIR NEW MAINTENANCE FACILITY. ALSO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INCREASED THEIR CPR SURVIVABILITY BY 23.1. FROM 2023 FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. ALSO NINE OF THE 27 NEW HIRES WERE MINORITIES OR FEMALES. HERE ARE JUST ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF WHERE OUR DEPARTMENTS MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS. NEXT LIKE TO SHARE SOME EXAMPLES THAT WERE THE OBJECTIVES ARE PARTIALLY COMPLETED OR CARRIED OVER INTO FISCAL YEAR 24. VERY TOTAL OF 18 THAT FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. TO
[00:15:04]
HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE UNDER PLANNING. THE HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY WAS NOT FULLY MET DUE TO THE DELAY AND RELEASE OF FUNDING. HOWEVER THE GOAL HAS BEEN CARRIED OVER INTO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. UNDER H. R. THEIR GOAL WAS TO DEVELOP AN ETHICS COURSE AND COMPLIANCE COURSE.THE HARASSMENT PREVENTION TRAINING COURSE WAS COMPLETE, WHILE THE ETHICS AND WORKPLACE ABILITY IS BEING DEVELOPED AND WILL BE COMPLETED IN FISCAL YEAR, 24 YOU'LL NOTICE. THE RANGE OF COMPLETION IS ANYWHERE FROM 25% TO 90. AND MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE BEEN CARRIED OVER INTO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. THE STATUS OF EACH IS DETAILED IN THE SCORE CARD ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA. SO, LASTLY, THESE ARE ALL OF THE DEPARTMENT GOALS THAT WERE NOT ACHIEVED OR PUT ON HOLD. IF WE WERE TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES HERE, THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE THEY HAD TO PUT THEIR PROPOSED TRAINING PROGRAM ON HOLD BECAUSE THEY LOST TWO STAFF MEMBERS AND HAD TO FOCUS ON MORE ROUTINE MATTERS. WITH ENGINEERING. THE BLOOMINGDALE ROAD CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT DESIGNS WERE NOT DONE BECAUSE THE PLAN PARK PROJECT WAS TERMINATED AND FUNDS WERE SHIFTED TO OTHER PROJECTS. LOOKING AT THE LIBRARY. INSTEAD OF DEVELOPING A NEW OPTION FOR PICK UP AND CHECK OUT OF CERTAIN BOOKS. THEY JUST DECIDED TO EXTEND THEIR DAILY HOURS OF OPERATION TO MEET THAT GOAL. IN ADDITION, THE AIRPORT SECURED FUNDING FOR THE G, A FEDERAL INSPECTION STATION AND 40,000 SQUARE FOOT HANGAR EXPANSION. AND AS YOU KNOW, FROM BARRY SHELTON'S RECENT REPORT, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BREAK GROUND IN MARCH OF 2024. AGAIN IN THE REPORT ATTACHED THE AGENDA, YOU'LL SEE A COMPLETE LISTING OF ALL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 23 OBJECTIVES ALONG WITH THE STATUS AND DETAILS FOR EACH. AGAIN HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE COLOR CODING OF EITHER GREEN. AMBER OR YELLOW, OR, UM, OR RED. SHIFTING GEARS A BIT. WE BELIEVE THAT ANOTHER IMPORTANT GAUGE OF OVERALL PERFORMANCE IS HOW THE CITY HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN DIFFERENT WAYS. WE EARNED THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION FOR SENIOR COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION DURING 2023. THE CITY WAS RATED AS NUMBER ONE BEST REAL ESTATE MARKET IN AMERICA.
NUMBER TWO SAFEST CITY NUMBER TWO BEST CITY FOR STARTING A FAMILY. NUMBER FOUR BEST CITY TO RAISE A FAMILY. AND OUR AIRPORT AGAIN CAME AT TOP 10% OF ALL FBO OPERATIONS CENTERS IN AMERICA.
IN ADDITION LAST. EARLY ACTUALLY , EARLY NOVEMBER, THE CITY WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE TOP WORKPLACES IN THE DFW REGION. THE ONLY CITY TO RECEIVE THAT HONOR. THIS SLIDE PROVIDES AN EXAMPLE OF OTHER HIGHER LEVEL RECOGNITION FOR THE CITY IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. FROM FILMING OF GOOD MORNING AMERICA DOWNTOWN TO THE DAWSON CREEK TRAIL BEING DESIGNATED AS A NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL BY THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICES. WE THINK THE LEVEL OF DEDICATION WE CONTINUE TO SEE FROM OUR EMPLOYEES IS ALSO A REFLECTION OF OUR OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT. AT THE START OF THE MEETING, GARY GRAHAM RECOGNIZED CODY CLARK FOR BEING AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF OUR CORE VALUES AND VISION.
SIMILARLY THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF EMPLOYEES IN SOME DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE FULLY ENGAGED, GOING THE EXTRA MILE AND SIMPLY DOING A MARVELOUS JOB SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. JORDAN'S WEB RECEIVED THE CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION, WHILE SUZANNE ARNOLD RECEIVED THE MASTER CODE PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION, BOTH FROM I C C. TECHNICAL. OUR DISPATCHER CAITLIN GUARDSMEN RECEIVED THE DISPATCH 911 PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS OFFICIALS INTERNATIONAL. AND SURELY TO BEST BEING ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION. AGAIN. THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR DEDICATED STAFF. WE'RE CLOSING WITH A RECAP OF THE REPORT AFTER SUMMARIZING THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ANNUAL CYCLE, I REVIEWED THE OVERALL STATISTICS FOR FISCAL YEAR 23. FOLLOWED BY A DETAILED SCORECARD OF THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. AND THEN SHARED SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CITY DEPARTMENT AND STAFF RECOGNITIONS. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION, AND I STAND HERE FOR
[00:20:09]
ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. HMM. YES PLEASE, UH, LITTLE AUDIBLE. I'M CALLING HERE BECAUSE NUMBER ONE, SIMON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT SHE DID A GREAT JOB. UM THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE AS JOE MAZZOLA. JOE MAZZOLA HATES WHEN WE RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THESE THINGS, BUT JOE JUST FINISHED JUST FINISHED HIS DOCTORATE DEGREE. UM, FROM S M U HE HAS, UM I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU PUBLISH YOUR DISSERTATION? HE HAS MADE HIS DISSERTATION AVAILABLE. IT'S REALLY GREAT WORK HE SHOWCASES IN MANY RESPECTS SOME OF THE WORK THE TREMENDOUS WORK THAT HE HAS DONE AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE HERE IN MCKINNEY TO SERVE AS SORT OF A GUIDEBOOK ON HOW TO CREATE A CHANGE PLAN AND ORGANIZATION IN ANY ORGANIZATION , FOR THAT MATTER, BUT CERTAINLY IN THIS CASE, A PUBLIC MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION, WHICH IS REALLY THE LITERATURE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT IN THAT REGARD. AND SO JOE HAS CERTAINLY ADVANCED THE FIELD OF ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE MUNICIPAL SECTOR. UM AND WE JUST WANTED TO PUBLICLY RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THAT TREMENDOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT. SO YET ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES JOE ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD SO YOU, THANK YOU. ALRIGHT ITEM 241109 UPDATE ON[Update on McKinney Opioid Settlement Fund]
MCKINNEY OPIOID SETTLEMENT SETTLEMENT FUND. GREETINGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE WANTED TO GIVE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEFING OF THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE HAD SINCE THE LAST TIME WE MET. WE CAME AND PREVENTED TO YOU IN SEPTEMBER THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE REMAINING FUNDS THAT WERE ALLOCATED FROM THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT PROGRAM.COUNCIL HAD AWARDED $100,000 TO THE ORGANIZATION GRACE TO CHANGE AND THERE WAS THE 41,000. THAT WAS AN APPLICATION PROCESS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO APPLY. THIS PRESENTATION ONLY SERVES AS JUST A GUIDELINE OF THE PROCESS THAT TOOK PLACE IN SEPTEMBER. WE HAD SEVEN ORGANIZATIONS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ATTENDED THE NON MANDATORY MEETING. ONLY ONE ORGANIZATION, HOWEVER, APPLIED FOR THOSE FUNDS. THE COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT ELIGIBLE. FOR THIS PARTICULAR GRANT, BUT IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR OTHER GRANTS. AND SO WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY WHERE THE REMAINING 41,000 STILL HAS OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FOR THE INTENTION THAT IT HAS AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO BECAUSE THERE WAS $100,000 THAT WAS AWARDED. WE WANTED TO GIVE GRACE TO CHANGE. JUST A VERY BRIEF THREE MINUTE PRESENTATION WHERE THEY WOULD UPDATE YOU ON JUST THE PROGRESS THAT THEY'VE MADE SINCE AWARDING THE FUNDS AND WE WELCOME, UM, COUNCIL TO DETERMINE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE GRACE TO CHANGE. JUST GIVE YOU JUST A VERY SHORT BRIEFING. I DIDN'T WRITE ANY NOTES THIS TIME, SO THAT MEANS IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE FROM THE HEART. SHANNON WHITE I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF GRACE TO CHANGE. UM WE SERVED 145 COLIN CLOWNEY RESIDENTS IN 2023 45 OF THOSE WERE MCKINNEY RESIDENTS AND 12 OF THOSE WERE MCKINNEY ADOLESCENTS. WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO, I CAN PROUDLY SAY MY STAFF MAKES ALMOST A LIVABLE WAGE. I SAY THAT PUBLICLY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE FUNDS FOR INSURANCE OR ANYTHING ELSE. SO UH, WE WORKED OUT OF OUR HEART NOT OUT OF OUR POCKET BOOK, WHICH MAKES US A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE HAVE RECENTLY JOINED WITH JUVENILE PROBATION. WE'RE SIGNING AN MOU WITH JUVENILE PROBATION FOR TO WORK WITH THEIR DRUG COURTS. BECAUSE OF OUR WORK WITH ADOLESCENTS, AND BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE THE ONLY STATE FUNDED ADOLESCENT PROGRAM AND IN COLLIN COUNTY TO WORK WITH ADOLESCENTS.
SO WHAT THAT DOES IS IT ALLOWS US TO UTILIZE LIFE PATH FUNDING AND FREES UP THEIR GRANT FUNDING FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY PUT PEOPLE IN INPATIENT TREATMENT, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DESPERATELY NEED.
SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING TO HIRE ANOTHER THERAPIST FOR ADOLESCENT PROGRAM . UH AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT, BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THAT YOU'VE ALLOWED US TO HAVE. IT CAN BE SOMETHING ON OUR RADAR. I DID OUR BUDGET WITH OUR BOARD LAST YEAR, AND WE ARE $78,000 IN THE HOLE STARTING OFF THIS YEAR FOR A BUDGET, SO THAT MEANS MY JOB IS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE UP THAT MONEY SO I CAN PAY EVERYBODY UM, WHICH WHICH WE WILL DO. WE WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO WE CONTINUE TO SEE KIDS WERE ON A WAIT LIST RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS SOUL CRUSHING FOR ME.
AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE WHEN I HAVE TO MAKE PRESENTATIONS LIKE THIS. GOD DOESN'T MAKE ME WAIT VERY LONG. WE GOT A CALL THIS MORNING FROM ONE OF OUR CLIENTS WHO OVERDOSED. HE'S ON LIFE
[00:25:04]
SUPPORT MEDICAL CENTER OF MCKINNEY. UM HE WILL NOT LIVE THERE TRYING TO DONATE HIS ORGANS AND HIS MOTHER REACHED OUT TODAY IN THE MIDDLE OF HER GRIEF TO SAY WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS MATTER. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC. YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE TO KEEP OTHER PEOPLE FROM MAKING THIS MISTAKE. SO YOU YOU PROVIDING US THIS FUNDING HAS CONTINUED TO ALLOW US TO CONTINUE TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND LIKE I SAID MCKINNEY IS OUR OUR SECOND HIGHEST WAS PRINCETON AND THAT WAS 25. SO WE ARE DOING THE BULK OF OUR WORK HERE IN MCKINNEY, SO THANK YOU. ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? I CAN QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.WE JUST AGAIN WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU. AND WE THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A SPECIAL GRANT. AND WE WILL, UM I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME. SO SHE LIED TO YOUR ARE YOU LOOKING? UM YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO US OR YOU ARE LOOKING TO US FOR DIRECTION ON THE REMAINING FUNDS CURRENTLY.
YES SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. WE UM WE HAVE BEEN DILIGENT AND PREPARING RESOLUTION SHOULD YOU TO FIGHT TO PROVIDE THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE FUNDS TO THE ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER THE ORGANIZATION WAS NOTIFIED AND SHE CAN CONFIRM THAT WE DID NOT. WE DID NOTIFY HER RATHER THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE AWARDED. WE HAD THE PLEASURE WILL, UM, WOULD ASK FOR YOUR DIRECTION TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, OR IF YOU WANT US TO RETURN TO MOVE TO ANOTHER APPLICATION PROCESS. WE WILL MOVE AS YOU DECIDE TO STATED EARLIER. THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE THAT APPLIED THAT DID NOT QUALIFY. THERE WAS ONLY ONE WE HAD AGENCIES. WE HAD MULTIPLE AGENCIES THAT ATTENDED THE TRAINING AND HAD INTEREST BUT ONLY ONE APPLIED AND THAT APPLICATION WAS NOT ELIGIBLE. TRUE LEADER WAS HIS GRACE TO CHANGE ELIGIBLE BASED ON OUR CRITERIA. GRACE TO CHANGE DID NOT APPLY FOR THOSE FUNDS AS THEY WERE ALREADY AWARDED. SO THEY DID NOT APPLY FOR THIS WEDNESDAY THEY THE APPLICATION PROCESS COULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO THEM, BUT, UM, BUT THEY DID NOT AT THAT TIME IF WE PUT IT INTO THE CYCLE INTO THE SPRING, OR WHEN NORMAL CYCLES ARE AND THE ADDITIONAL 200 SOME ODD $1000 THAT WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE OVER SOME PERIOD OF TIME. JUST CONTINUES INTO A REGULAR PROCESS. THEY ARE ELIGIBLE. AND CAN APPLY FOR THAT . CORRECT THAT IS CORRECT. UM THERE ARE OTHER THE OTHER OPTION THAT WE WOULD HAVE. I WOULD ALSO STATE THAT WITH THE APPLICATION THE FIRST TIME WE DID HAVE THAT SO THAT IT WAS DIRECT SERVICES. UH IF YOU STILL WANTED US TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT, WE WOULD WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT AS WELL. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? THEY'RE THE ELIGIBILITY OF FUNDS WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU COULD HAVE DIRECT SERVICES. THERE ALSO COULD BE A COMPONENT BASED ON THE STATE WHERE IT COULD INCLUDE OUTREACH TOWARDS PREVENTION OF OPIOIDS SUBSTANCE ABUSE, SO THOSE ARE OPTIONS THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE AS WELL TO EXPAND THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS. IF YOU SO DESIRE TO DO THAT. WE ALSO DO HAVE THE OPTION, OF COURSE TO NOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER APPLICATION PROCESS, NOT ALSO SAY THAT ONE COULD LOOK AT IT THAT IN THEIR INITIAL APPLICATION. THE APPLICATION WASN'T FOR JUST THE SUM THAT THEY GOT. IT WAS OVERALL APPLICATION FOR THE FUNDS IN GENERAL, SO ONE COULD ARGUE THAT THEY ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR THIS BALANCE IN THEIR ORIGINAL APPLICATION. I KNOW I'M MAYBE STRETCHING HERE. BUT MY POINT IS THEY THEY MADE AN APP THEY MADE APPLICATION INITIALLY. AND THEY QUALIFIED. THEY WERE.
THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE ABLE IN THAT REGARD, YES TO BE ABLE TO USE THOSE FUNDS DIRECTLY BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS THAT IS CORRECT, AND WE COULD MAKE THE DECISION TO DISPERSE FUNDS NOW TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND NOT DELAY. HELPING AID. TO IMMEDIATE NEEDS RIGHT NOW, IF WE SO CHOOSE. YES, THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. HMM. WAIT.
ALLOW. IT GOES THROUGH THE. AND THAT WOULD BE AND HOW MANY MONTHS WOULD THAT BE FROM NOW? IT WOULD BE AT LEAST ONE MONTH THE WITH THE BALANCE OF FUNDING THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, WE COULD, UH MOVE IT INTO OUR CONSOLIDATED GRANTS APPLICATION PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES OUR CDBG AND OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANT WE COULD STILL HAVE. IT HAS TO BECAUSE IT IS A SPECIAL, UM, FUND AND NOT ACTUALLY A GRANT. WE COULD HAVE THE PROCESS TO RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY AND STILL BE ABLE TO MOVE THAT SO THAT THE APPLICATION PROCESS WOULD BE ABOUT A 60. 60 DAY PROCESS WITH THE WITH THE COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION. SO IT WOULD
[00:30:03]
START IN FEBRUARY. IT COULD CLOSE IN MARCH AND THEN BE AWARDED AT THAT TIME. THERE IS A SUM OF MONEY WE HAVE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW. THEN THERE'S A SON THAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO GET.REFER THE GRANDS AND I APOLOGIZE . I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION FOR THAT AMOUNT, BUT WE COULD DELAY AND WAIT UNTIL THAT TIME AND BE ABLE TO STILL MOVE THAT PROCESS IN THE SAME MANNER. WE DON'T HAVE AN IDEA YET AT ALL ADDITIONAL FUNDS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. NO THE LAST INFORMATION I HAVE, UM, WE DID NOT KNOW WHEN WE WOULD BE RECEIVING THE NEXT ROUND OF FUNDS. JUST SORRY. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT? BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY BALANCE OF FUNDS THAT I'M AWARE OF. IS THIS A 41,000? WE DO KNOW THAT WE WILL GET ADDITIONAL FUNDS. I'M JUST NOT AWARE OF THE SCHEDULE AT THIS TIME OF WHEN MY RECOLLECTION. MR MAYOR FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH IS IT WAS A 17 YEAR PERIOD AND WE HAVE NO IDEA DURING THAT 17 YEAR PERIOD WHEN MONEY WOULD SHOW UP AND THERE'S NO GOOD INFORMATION ON THAT. ANDR THAT BEING A COUPLE 100,000, BUT THAT'S DOING THAT LAST PART OF MEMORY. I'VE SEEN THROUGH THIS WHOLE WHOLE CONVERSATION HAS BEEN PROCESSED THAT THERE IS A PROCESS NOTIFICATION. VALUATION. DECISION MAKING BY PEOPLE WHO MAKE THESE DECISIONS AND THAT THAT IS. FOR THE REMAINING FUNDS AND FOR THE FUNDS THAT COME IN THE FUTURE. SO THAT THERE WE'RE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW. BASING IT OFF THE WHIMS OF COUNCIL ON WHAT WE'VE DECIDED TO DO FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT, AND SO I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD STAY IN THE COMMUNITY GRANTS AND ALL FUTURE FUNDING SHOULD GO THROUGH COMMUNITY GRANTS. JUST LET THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED HAND OIL. I WOULD AGREE. I THINK YOU KNOW, AFTER THE FIRST ROUND THAT WE 100,000. WE HAVE SOME VOICES EXPRESSED THAT THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THE PROGRAM OR THERE THAT THEY WERE ELIGIBLE. UM I WONDER IF HAVING ANOTHER ROUND OF CYCLE JUST ALLOWS FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. WHY I DON'T WANT TO RUSH THE PROCESS PERSONALLY TO AWARD THIS LAST BIT OF FUNDING. I THINK IT WOULD . I WOULD MAYBE HAVE A DIFFERENT POSITION IF WE KNEW WHEN THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING WAS COMING THROUGH, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A GREAT IDEA. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FAIR TO EVERYONE. DUMB ALLOWED. SAYS. TO UM, I TEND. TO I THINK THAT WE'VE GOT AN ORGANIZATION HERE. HE'S PROVEN THAT THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS DYING. EVERY DAY. FROM FENTANYL. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THE MONEY OUT.
AND GET IT BEING USED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IT'S JUST NOT AND THAT'S WHERE I AM. UM IF THE MONEY IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE HURDLES THAT AN APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO DO AND REPORTING.
WITH US GIVING THE MONEY COUNCIL OR IF IT GOES THROUGH COMMUNITY GRANTS, DOES THE APPLICANT OR RECIPIENT OF THIS MONEY HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL HURDLES? EITHER WAY. THE APPLICANT WHO RECEIVED THESE FUNDS WOULD ONLY HAVE JUST AN ANNUAL REPORTING THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR SO THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE ONE REPORT TO COMPLETE AND COMPARISON TO OTHER FUNDING PROCESSES. SO FROM REPORTING STANDPOINT, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT AT ALL. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTION? IS IT DIFFERENT? IF WE WERE TOWARD THE TAPE, VERSUS OR WHENEVER, VERSUS THE COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM. IS THERE DIFFERENT REPORTING THAT TAKES PLACE? NO THERE IS IT IS AN EASIER PROCESS. IF YOU DECIDE TO AWARD TODAY THE FUNDING WOULD BE ABLE TO BE RECEIVED AND UTILIZED IMMEDIATELY. THE PROCESS IN WHICH WE WOULD TAKE THE APPLICATION THROUGH THE REGULAR CHANNELS, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT FUNDING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. BUT OTHER THAN THE TIME FACTOR, THERE'S REALLY NO ADDITIONAL HURDLES OR ANY ADDITIONAL REPORTING YOUR COMPLIANCE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON IT? AND JUST REMEMBER FROM THE LAST TOM. WE WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS UP IS THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A ONE TIME THING AND THE REMAINING 40,000. PROCESS. MARIA THOUGHT ON THE COUNCIL AGREEMENT. THAT'S THE WAY WE SHOULD DO IT. I'M STAYING WITH. THAT IS JUST BECAUSE WE DISCUSSED IT ALREADY. AND WE SAID THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S $40,000 OR GO THROUGH THE SO I THINK IT SHOULD STAY THAT WAY AND GO THROUGH. HOW TO DO IT APPROPRIATELY. IT WASN'T ACTUALLY COME UP TO. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT. JUST SAY IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE MISSTEP THAT I
[00:35:02]
DIDN'T SEE THE GRANT. SO IT WAS ON THE PAGE. I DON'T GO AND NORMALLY CHECK THAT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE CITY GRANTS UP INTO THIS POINT, SO IT ABSOLUTELY IT WAS NOT A CONSCIOUS DECISION NOT TO APPLY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HARD. I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT. AND SO WE'RE HAPPY TO GO AND APPLY.THE DIFFERENCE WITH THIS GRANT IS THE PARAMETERS LOOK DIFFERENT THAN A CDBG GRANT. AND WE'RE HAVING THAT ISSUE, UM, WITH OTHER CITIES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO ALSO THE GRANT PROCESS FOR THE MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IS NOT DOESN'T EVEN START UNTIL 2024 WHICH WE INTEND TO APPLY.
THROUGH THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T EVEN FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO THAT. AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANY IDEA WHEN THE NEXT FUNDING STREAM IS GOING TO COME, SO WE'LL BE APPLYING FOR THOSE BIG GRANTS TO BRING TO MCKINNEY TO HELP AS WELL. SURELY THEY COULD YOU BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE CONFUSED BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN LET'S TALK ABOUT WE'RE GOING TO WAIT FOR A GRAND PROCESS. AND THEN THERE'S COMMENTS BEING MADE THAT THAT THERE WAS A GRAND PROCESS. IT WAS JUST MISSED. THE APPLICATION PROCESS I'M TALKING ABOUT. CAN YOU GIVE SOME CLARITY AS TO WHAT THE TIMELINE HAS BEEN. WHAT WHAT OUR PROCESS HAS BEEN TO THE STATE. FOR THIS PARTICULAR FUND. THERE WAS A THREE THERE WAS A 2.5 3 WEEK APPLICATION PROCESS. THERE WAS A NON, UH MANDATORY APPLICATION MEETING. WE DID SEND THAT OUT TO OVER 500 PERSONS ORGANIZATIONS TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE GRANT MEETING. THERE WAS A GRANT MEETING THAT WAS HELD, WHICH THERE WAS ONLY SEVEN PARTICIPANTS. AND THEN THERE WAS A TWO WEEK DEADLINE IN WHICH THEY HAD TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATIONS. AFTER THAT TIME WE HAD THE COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW THOSE APPLICATIONS. IT WAS THAT MEETING WAS TABLED UNTIL WE HAD THE NEW INCOMING BECAUSE IT WAS AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND AGAIN WE HAD ONLY RECEIVED ONE APPLICANT, WHICH WAS NOT ELIGIBLE. THAT PROCESS IS SEPARATE FROM ANY OF THE CDBG UNDERSTAND, BUT BUT 500 ORGANIZATIONS WERE MADE AWARE. SEVEN SHOWED UP TO LEARN. YES APPLICATION AND THAT WAS DETERMINED INELIGIBLE. SO I MEAN, I'M JUST TRYING TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE THAT THAT QUESTION WOULD BE IF WE HAVE AN ORGANIZATION THAT WE'VE AWARDED SOME FUNDS TO AND THEY'RE RIGHT HERE IN MCKINNEY IN THE OFFENSE, BUT IF SHE MISSED IT, HOW MANY OTHERS MISSED IT? THAT'S MY QUESTION AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO RECTIFY THAT ISSUE? IS THERE BETTER OUTREACH THAT WE CAN DO? ENSURE THAT WE'RE GIVING EQUAL OPPORTUNITY THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING FUNDING I UNDERSTAND. SO WITH THAT, I WILL SAY THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. VERY RARELY DO WE HAVE A SPECIAL GRANT? AND SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY APPLICANTS DID NOT VIEW IT. THEY KNOW THAT EVERY YEAR, UM AND COLLIN COUNTY THERE ARE CITIES, INCLUDING OURS THAT ALWAYS HAVE OUR APPLICATION PROFIT AND THAT WE'VE CONSOLIDATED IT SO THAT WE HAVE IT IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, AND SO THEY LOOK TO IT FOR THAT. BACK FOR THAT TIME. SO IF COUNCIL UM YOU KNOW, IN CONSENSUS, ONCE THE DIRECTIVE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT ACCESS, WE ARE PREPARING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE OUTREACH FOR OUR REGULAR PROCESS. AND SO WE CAN INCLUDE THAT AND JUST STILL KEEP THE SAME APPLICATION PROCESS. IF THAT'S THE DESIRE TO BE ABLE TO BENEFIT MORE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY HAVE AGAIN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HERE THE PRESENTATION AGAIN AND TO MAKE THE TERMINATION IF THEY WANT TO PURSUE, AND THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY. WHERE UM, WHERE GRACE TO CHANGE IS ALSO INCLUDED AMONGST OUR APPLICANTS. THEY WERE IN THE PAST AND THEY WILL BE AGAIN AND SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT. AND IT WOULD STILL BE THE OBJECTIVITY OF THE COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION WHEN THAT TIME COMES THAT PEOPLE WILL BE LOOKING IN TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE. ABSOLUTELY WE, UM WE ALREADY HAVE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE FOR OUR REGULAR GRAND APPLICATION PROCESS SO WE CAN CERTAINLY REDIRECT AND ADD THAT AS AN ADDITION. UM IN ADDITION TO THAT I ALSO SPEAK AT DIFFERENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS TO TELL THEM ABOUT THAT, SO THAT THEY ALSO WERE ABLE TO HEAR FROM ME DIRECTLY BEFORE THE PROGRAM BEYOND AND THAT WILL BE AND THAT WOULD BE IN A MATTER OF A FEW WEEKS. SORT OF STRENGTHENS MY POSITION, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BECAUSE IF MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE LOOKING IN FEBRUARY, WE MAY HAVE AND THEN. I LOVE WHAT GRACE CHANGES DONE. BE SUPPORTIVE OF THEM, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FAIR. IT'S A BOARD. YEAH. SO I'M GATHERING. WE. THE OTHER. THE OTHER PIECE TO THIS IS THERE'S VERY SPECIFIC PARAMETERS THAT THIS OPIOID GRANT DOES SO OF THE 500 PEOPLE. THERE'S PROBABLY THERE'S LIFE
[00:40:05]
PATH. UM MED PROTEST? WHAT WE DO THAT THERE'S VERY FEW OF US THAT WOULD ACTUALLY QUALIFY TO UTILIZE THESE FUNDS BASED ON HOW THE STATE HAS ALIGNED THEM, SO I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE OTHER PIECE. THAT'S IMPORTANT. THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE THAT CAN QUALIFY FOR THIS GRANT BASED ON THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. AND WHILE THAT IS TRUE EACH ORGANIZATION. WE CAN'T FORCE THEM TO APPLY, SO IT COULD BE THAT IF THE APPLICATION PROCESS HAVE ANOTHER HEAD THE FRESH ROUND TO BE ABLE TO VIEW THEY MAY MAKE THE DETERMINATION THAT THEY DO WANT TO APPLY THIS TIME AROUND EACH ORGANIZATION, REGARDLESS OF THE FUNDING SOURCE MAKES THAT DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. SO IN ADVERSATIVE, ITTY , WE WOULD CERTAINLY DO THAT AGAIN AND BE ABLE TO PRESENT IT AND STILL HAVE IT ALIGNED WITH THE PLEASURE OF THE MAJORITY OF WHAT COUNSEL WOULD LIKE TO SEE. AND SO I TAKE IT THAT THAT IS THE DIRECTION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO GO. I DON'T KNOW IS THAT UM, THIS IS AWKWARD, MR MAYOR, BUT BECAUSE OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY DECISIONS MADE ON THIS, I'LL HAVE TO RECUSE MYSELF. THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL CONSENT AGENDA, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO REMAIN SILENT ON THIS FRUIT AT THIS POINT. WELL, UM AND WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IS THERE CONSENSUS AND THERE'LL BE THREE THAT BELIEVE WE SHOULD SHOULD WAIT. GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. OKAY CONSENSUS.ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. I WILL DO THAT AND THEN SO I WILL REMOVE THE AGENDA ITEM THAT WAS AT THE THAT WAS LISTED FOR THE FOR THE UPCOMING MEETING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD.
ALRIGHT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. UM, 241110 CONSIDER AND DISCUSS OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORTING THE
[Consider/Discuss Opportunities for Supporting the Use and Development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in East McKinney, as Outlined in the 2023 Neighborhood Preservation Plan]
USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ACCESSORY DUELING UNITS TO USE IN EAST MCKINNEY AS OUTLINED IN THE 2023 NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION PLAN. GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY MANAGER GRAMS HOW ARE YOU? HAPPY NEW YEAR? I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU ALL YET. WE ARE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT TODAY ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT USE IN EAST MCKINNEY. FIRST WHY ARE WE BRINGING THIS TO YOU GUYS TODAY? WELL A LOT EARLIER IN 2023. YOU RECEIVED THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION PLAN AND ACCEPTED THAT IN AND WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION PLAN THAT WAS CONDUCTED FOR ALL OF EASTERN MCKINNEY. THERE WERE SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT HOW WE COULD KIND OF IMPROVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IMPROVE. THE PRESERVATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS ON IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE SKINNY. ONE OF THOSE WAS WORKING ON ACCESSIBLE DWELLING UNITS AND MAKING THOSE EXCUSE ME, ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND MAKING THOSE MORE ACCESSIBLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TODAY AND HOW WE MIGHT MAKE THEM MORE ACCESSIBLE. SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAY HAVE INHIBITED THEIR USE IN THE PAST AND HOW THAT'S CHANGING. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION STUDY. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE POINTED OUT WAS THAT THE MAJORITY OF HOUSING STOCK IN EAST MCKINNEY EAST OF STATE HIGHWAY FIVE OR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS, THERE WERE DECENT AMOUNT OF TWO AND FOUR UNIT ATTACHED DWELLINGS AND THEN SOME MULTI FAMILY UP MORE. LESS MULTI FAMILY EXCUSE ME AND EAST BEGINNING THAN IN THE REST OF MCKINNEY. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT, THEY NOTED, WAS THAT HOUSING IN THE EAST SIDE OF MCKINNEY IS PARTICULARLY COST BURDENED WHERE A LARGER PERCENTAGE OF INCOME IS BEING SPENT ON HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES, LIKE YOUR MORTGAGE THAN IT MAY BE SOME OTHER PARTS OF THE TOWN FROM THIS DIAGRAM THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT A LITTLE CIRCLE. YOU CAN SEE IT'S ABOUT 55. THE COMMUNITY. UM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY IN THE PERFORMANCE STUDY IS THAT WE WRAPPED UP A LOT OF CODE REGULATION CHANGES TO THE WITH A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE LAST YEAR THAT HAD SOME IMPACT TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS HERE IN EAST MCKINNEY, AND WE'RE GONNA LOOK A LITTLE BIT AT THAT NOW.UM IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP, THIS IS ALL OF EAST MCKINNEY, INCLUDING MCKINNEY FROM 75, EAST TO AIRPORT ROAD. UM. WE CALL IT THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA GENERALLY. AND PLANNING.
THERE ARE ABOUT 4626 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS HERE IN THIS AREA. UNDER THE OLD VERSION OF OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT EXISTED UP UNTIL NOVEMBER. 15TH OF 2022. THERE WERE 918 LOTS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE OR LARGE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO FIT AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ON THEM.
[00:45:01]
THERE WERE SOME RESTRICTIONS THAT YOU COULDN'T HAVE AN 80 YOU UNLESS YOU HAD A CERTAIN SIZE LOT, AND THEN EVEN WITH THAT THERE WERE SOME LIMITATIONS THERE. SO THAT LEFT US WITH 918.AFTER WE MADE THOSE CHANGES TO CREATE THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE IN NOVEMBER OF 2022 WITH THE REVISIONS LAST YEAR IN 2023, THERE ARE NOW 4626 LOTS THAT ARE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ON SO ALREADY JUST WITH THE CODE. WE MORE THAN TRIPLED THE SIZE OF THE NUMBER OF LOTS THAT WE COULD USE. BUT UM, BEFORE WE KIND OF LOOK SPECIFICALLY THERE'S LOTS. LET'S JUST LOOK A LITTLE BIT AT THE CHANGES THAT WE CREATED. YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT THE OLD REGULATIONS. THAT'S THE PRE 2022 CODE. A LOT HAD TO BE 12,000 SQUARE FEET. IF YOU'VE DRIVEN AROUND OLD MCKINNEY, YOU'LL NOTICE WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF THOSE LEFT. AND 80. YOU COULDN'T BE ANY BIGGER THAN 600 SQUARE FEET COULD ONLY BE A SINGLE STORY UNLESS IT WAS ABOVE A GARAGE. IT HAD TO HAVE THE SAME SETBACKS AS THE PRIMARY BUILDING. AND IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PARKING. THERE WEREN'T ANY LIMITATIONS THERE WITH THE CHANGES WE MADE WITH THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. WE ELIMINATED THAT MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT AND OPENED UP ALL OF THOSE LOTS. WE DID PLACE SOME RESTRICTIONS ON THE SIZE OF A TUS. WE TOOK AWAY THE 600 SQUARE FOOT AND WE SAID IT CAN BE 50% OF THE PRIMARY BUILDING. AND THEN WE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, WAIT A MINUTE. WE STILL HAVE SOME HOMES IN OLD MCKINNEY THAT ARE UNDER 1200 SQUARE FEET. AND SO IF WE SAY 50% WELL, THAT GIVES SOMEBODY A BEDROOM, AND SO WE MODIFIED THAT A LITTLE BIT TO SAY, OKAY, YOU COULD HAVE 75% OF THE PRIMARY BUILDING. UM IF YOU HAD ONE OF THOSE SMALLER HOUSES DOWNTOWN, YOU HAD ONE OF THOSE 1200 SQUARE FOOT HOME, SO THAT GAVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY TO WE KEPT THE PRIMARY BUILDING SETBACKS. WE KEPT THE PRIMARY BUILDING HEIGHTS AND WE SAID IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT AN 80 YOU AND YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE FOUR SPACES. YOU HAVE TO ADD ONE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT STRESS THAT WE WOULD SEE ON THE ROADWAYS FROM PARKING SPACES IF YOU ADD IN, MAYBE YOU WHEN YOU COUNT FOUR SPACES, DO YOU COUNT? LIKE A GARAGE? YES THE GARAGE. THE TWO COVERAGE, GARAGE SPACES IN THE APRON SPACES. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. SO THAT THAT'S THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE TO THE CODE. SO THEN IN PRESENTATION AND PREPARATION TO COME AND DO THIS PRESENTATION AND SHARE INFORMATION WITH YOU. WE LOOKED AT SEVEN DIFFERENT AREAS. A TOTAL OF 142 LOTS AROUND THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA. WE CHOSE THOSE AREAS BECAUSE THEY KIND OF GAVE US A DEM A DIFFERENT SET OF SIZES OF AGE OF HOMES, SIZES OF HOMES, SIZES OF LOTS AND GENERAL AREAS OF THE CITY. YOU'LL SEE WE KIND OF COVERED. THE GREEN SPOTS ARE WHERE WE LOOKED. JUST A LITTLE BIT ALL AROUND TOWN. WHEN WE DID THAT. WE FOUND OUT A FEW THINGS. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE GENERAL AGE OF HOLMES'S ANYWHERE FROM 1850 TO 2023. UM WE FOUND THAT THE SIZE OF LOTS VARIES FROM THE SMALLEST LOT. WE HAVE DOWNTOWN FOR RESIDENTIAL UNIT OF 727 SQUARE FEET, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, OR THAT'S THE SIZE OF THE LOT, NOT THE HOUSE ON THE LOT.
UP TO WELL OVER 200,000 SQUARE FEET FOR THAT PARTICULAR LOT, AND THEN LOTS OF DIFFERENT LOT SIZES. WE ALSO NOTICED THAT OVER THE COURSE OF TIME LOTS GOT BIGGER AND THEN THEY GOT SMALLER AGAIN. AND SO THE GRAPH THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE SHOWS THAT IF WE LOOK AT THOSE SEVEN SECTIONS OF TOWN, THOSE 142 LOTS THE LOTS THAT ARE IN THE RANGE OF 6000 TO 8000 SQUARE FEET OF THOSE 142 WERE MOST LIKELY TO NOT FIT IN EIGHT EU ON THEM. IF YOU THAT ORANGE WOULD BE THE LOT , THE 80, YOU WOULDN'T FIT ON THOSE LOTS. THAT'S A LOT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH MULTIPLE FACTORS, THE SIZE OF THE HOUSES AND THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE LOT. WE DID NOT LOOK AT THE ALL 4626 LOTS.
WE. RESPECTFUL OF YOUR TIME AS WELL AS OURS, HOW WE SPEND IT AND SO, BUT WITH THOSE 142, A NUMBER OF THOSE LOTS ALREADY HAD EXISTING ACCESSORY BUILDINGS ON THEM. THEY ALREADY HAD POOLS.
AND SO THAT REALLY LIMITED WHERE YOU COULD FIT IN 81 THE PROPERTY. SO. WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN FIT A DUS ON SOME MANNER OF THAT 4000 PROPERTIES AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE EASED THE REGULATIONS FOR THAT. SO WHAT? WHAT WE ALWAYS DO IS WE GO BACK AND WE LOOK AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? ARE WE ON PAR WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE OTHER CITIES AROUND US? YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART THAT UM, LIKE MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES, SINGLE FAMILY ZONING IS WHERE 80 YEARS ARE ALLOWED. YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT THERE'S MORE RESTRICTIONS IN SOME OF THE AREAS SOME OF THE CITIES WHERE IT'S ONLY CERTAIN SINGLE FAMILY ZONES. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT WE DON'T SPECIFY WHO LIVES IN THAT 80 YOU? WE DON'T SAY IT HAS TO BE THE OWNER. WE DON'T SAY IT
[00:50:04]
HAS TO BE RENTAL. WE JUST SAY IT'S AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT, AND IT HAS TO SHARE THE SAME METER. YOU WORK IT OUT. WHERE YOU SEE OTHER CITIES AROUND HAVE THE OWNER THAT IS REQUIRED TO LIVE THERE. WE ALSO LOOKED JUST A LITTLE FURTHER A FIELD JUST TO KIND OF SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE DOING. YOU CAN SEE KIND OF THIS SIMILAR TRENDS WHERE IT'S PRIMARILY IN SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS. A LOT OF OWNER REQUIREMENTS OWNER OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS FOR THEM. UM AND THEN SIMILAR SETBACKS. SOMETIMES MORE SPECIFIC SETBACKS. SO. NOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL THAT KIND OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION, I'M GOING TO STEP AWAY AND I'M GONNA LET CAMERON CAN'T CRAM AND CHRISTIE ARE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PLANNER WHO KIND OF REALLY DUG INTO THIS FOR US TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEEK INFORMATION FROM YOU ON IT AND PUT IT FROM YOU ON ON WHERE YOU KIND OF WANT US TO GO WITH THIS 80 YOU PROCESS HENRY. HELLO. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL. AH CITY MANAGER GRIMES. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME AS PAUL MENTIONED. MY NAME IS CAMERON CHRISTIE. I AM THE DOWNTOWN PLANNING FOR OUR CITY. UM AND I DID A GOOD CHUNK OF RESEARCH FOR THIS LITTLE PRESENTATION THAT WE'VE GOT GOING, SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE IT COMES DOWN TO BASICALLY THREE DIFFERENT AH, WAYS WE CAN GO. WE CAN CHANGE POLICIES. WE CAN OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WE CAN PROVIDE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. SO THE FIRST PILLAR OF OUR SUITE OF OPTIONS AS IT WERE, UM WOULD BE POLICY CHANGES AND FOR THOSE WERE REALLY TALKING ABOUT PRE APPROVED PLANS AND THE USE OF PREFABRICATED UNITS. SO. BY THIS THESE TWO OPTIONS. WE WANT TO LOOK AT THESE PRE APPROVED PLANS AND PREFAB UNITS. WE WANT THEM TO WORK IN TANDEM WITH EACH OTHER. PREAPPROVED PLANS ARE PLANS THAT HAVE RECEIVED PRIOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL FROM THE CITY. UM WE CAN OFFER A SELECTION OF PRE APPROVED 18 BUILDING PLANS KIND OF LIKE A SEARS CATALOG OF THE 21ST CENTURY. PROBABLY WANT 3 TO 4 CHOICES FOR SQUARE FOOTAGE.MAYBE THREE STYLES FOR EACH SIZE. UM AND ONCE THE NUMBER AND SIZES ARE DECIDED WE CAN PUT OUT AN RFP IF NECESSARY, POTENTIALLY NOT GIVE HIM THE COST. UM WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MODULAR OR PREFABRICATED UNITS, THESE ARE CONSTRUCTED OFFSITE OR SECTIONS ARE CONSTRUCTED OFF SITE AND THEN THEY ARE JUST BROUGHT TO THE, UH, THE BACKYARD AND PLACED IN A ALREADY PREPARED FOUNDATION. UM. THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SUPPRESS COSTS. THEY REDUCE CONSTRUCTION TIME NEIGHBORS WILL THANK THEM. AND THE SELECTION OF PREFAB DESIGNS MAKES IT EASIER ON US POTENTIALLY REDUCING IMPLEMENTATION TIME AND COST. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SYNERGY BETWEEN THESE TWO. WE REALLY MEAN THAT THE COST SAVING EFFECTS OF PRE APPROVED PLANS AND PREFAB HOMES CAN COMPOUND BECAUSE WE WANT TO LOWER THE AREA BARRIERS. EXCUSE ME TO ENTRY, UM, POTENTIALLY ATTRACTING AN ENTIRELY UNTAPPED COHORT OF POTENTIAL BUILDERS WERE REALLY FOCUSING ON EXISTING HOMEOWNERS IN EAST MCKINNEY. SO WHILE WE DON'T HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF BOTH OF THESE BEING USED TOGETHER IN ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY, UM WE DO HAVE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THE PRE APPROVED PLAN CONCEPT. UM EXAMPLES SUCH AS FRESNO, CALIFORNIA PARADISE CITY, CALIFORNIA. UM BRYAN, TEXAS, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY AND CLOSER TO HOME. SEEING ANTONIO IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THEIR OWN SUITE OF PRE APPROVED PLANS TO OFFER THEIR RESIDENTS. SO HERE WE HAVE TWO EXAMPLES. HERE WE HAVE TWO EXAMPLES OF PRE APPROVED UNITS IN PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS ON THE LEFT. WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE FROM BRYAN, TEXAS, AND ON THE RIGHT, UM EXAMPLE FROM A CATALOG FROM FRESCO, CALIFORNIA. WITH THE PRESIDENT EXAMPLE. IN PARTICULAR , WE COULD SEE A VARIETY OF AVAILABLE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES THAT HELP ENGAGE PROPERTY OWNERS BY GIVING THEM MORE CHOICE AND AGENCY IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION.
AND HERE WE HAVE SOME EXAMPLES OF PREFABRICATED 80 US. STYLES OF EVIL ARE EXTREMELY DIVERSE.
[00:55:08]
WE CAN WE CAN BASICALLY GET ANYTHING WE NEED TO MAKING SURE THEY'RE IN LINE WITH OUR ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA. SO LOOKING AT COSTS, IT WAS HARD TO NAIL DOWN EXACTLY HOW MUCH SOME OF THESE THINGS WOULD COST. BUT LOOKING AT PRE APPROVED PLANS, YOU COULD GET THEM ANYWHERE FROM $100 TO $1500 PER PLAN. UM, WE HAVE TO DO MULTIPLE BUILDING LICENSES FOR THEM, WHICH WE'RE EVEN HARDER TO FIND A COST FOR BUT TALKING TO THE FEW DEVELOPERS THAT WANTED TO GIVE US AN ANSWER. UM IT CAME OUT TO ROUGHLY $400 PER PLAN AND THOSE LICENSES LAST TWO YEARS. FOR PREFABRICATED UNITS. UM THE COST FALLS TO BE HOMEOWNERS, AND WE HAVE $50,000 UP THERE, BUT IT'S VERY VARIABLE. UM WE'VE SEEN AS LOW AS THE SHELL OF AN 80 U OF A SMALLER UNIT COSTING LIKE $22,000. SO UM, IT VARIES BUT 50,000 IS A REASONABLE MID PART. WE WANT TO GO. TO SO ONCE THESE ARE IN PLACE. WE ONLY NEED TO UPDATE AS THE CODES UPDATE, UM THAT'S ONE OF THE PROS. IN ADDITION TO THAT INCREASES, ACCESSIBILITY FOR HOMEOWNERS AND NONTRADITIONAL DEVELOPERS, UM DECREASES COST TO RESIDENTS IN TERMS OF DESIGN. THE UNIT COST AND THE COST IN THE OPPORTUNITY COST AND THE TIME SPENT. UM AND THEN IT HELPS US ON THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW SIDE BECAUSE IT POTENTIALLY REALLY STREAMLINES REVIEW EFFICIENCY. THERE ARE CONS. I MEAN, WE DO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DESIGN LICENSING. UM IF AN RFP WAS NEEDED THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY TAKE TIME TO DEVELOP AND EXECUTE. AND THERE MAY BE SOME PERCEPTION OF PREFABRICATED UNITS AS LOWER QUALITY SO WE CAN ENVISION POTENTIALLY SOME PUSHBACK FROM, UM OTHER RESIDENTS. SO ANOTHER SET OF INCENTIVES THAT COULD BE OFFERED IS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, WHICH WAS SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION STUDY. SO WE BASICALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LOANS, WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS. ONE IS PARTNER LOANS WHERE WE WOULD PARTNER WITH A DON PROPHET, WHO WOULD THEN MANAGE THE LOANS. UM THESE CANAL HIGHER INCOME REQUIREMENTS, BUT BASICALLY WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THEM TO OFFER LOW INTEREST LOANS OR FORGIVABLE LOANS, AND BOTH OF THOSE WOULD HELP INCENTIVIZE MORE RISK AVERSE BORROWERS TO INVEST IN THEIR PROPERTIES. AND FOR THOSE WE WOULD WANT TO PROBABLY INCLUDE CONDITIONS, SOME OF THE MORE COMMON ONES WE'VE SEEN. INCOMPARABLE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CANNOT BE A SHORT TERM RENTAL FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS OR, IF RENTED, MUST BE RENTED AT AN AFFORDABLE RATE. WE CAN ALSO HARNESS EXISTING UM M HFC LOANS SO THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO LOAD A BOTTLE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, UM, AND HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WOULD ADMINISTER ANY LOANS. UM ADMIT GRANTED THROUGH THAT. APPLIED FOR EXCUSE ME THROUGH THAT PROGRAM. NEXT. WE ALSO HAVE GRANTS. UM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OPERAS GRANTS TOO LOW TO MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. UM. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN STIRRED THE GRANTS AND THOSE GRANTS HAVE, UH, SEVERAL CYCLES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHERE RESIDENTS CAN APPLY FOR THEM. FINALLY FEE WAIVERS FAIRLY EASY TO IMPLEMENT AVAILABLE UP TO 80% MEDIAN INCOME. WE CAN WEAVE BUILDING PERMIT FEES, UTILITY IMPACT FEES . UM SAN ANTONIO, FOR EXAMPLE, WAVES IMPACT FEES IF THE UNIT MEETS AFFORDABILITY CRITERIA. SO LOOKING AROUND LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE. THIS IS THE THEORETICAL MAX. EXTENT OF, UH. A PROGRAM OF ALL INCENTIVE OPTIONS WOULD BE PURSUED. UM POLICY ADOPTION, FOCUSING ON THOSE PRE APPROVED PLANS AND UNITS AND THEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CAN BE SPLIT INTO THE GRANTS, LOANS AND WAIVERS.OUTREACH IS THE ONE COMPONENT THAT WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF A PROGRAM AND ALL OPTIONS UNDER IT
[01:00:01]
SHOULD BE EXERCISED IF POSSIBLE. BECAUSE OUTREACH CANNOT SINGLEHANDEDLY MAKE A PROGRAM BUT IT CAN ABSOLUTELY SINGLEHANDEDLY SINK IT. SO SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT LOOKING AT HOW SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, BRYAN, TEXAS TRIED TO IMPLEMENT SIMILAR 80 YOU PRE APPROVED PLAN POLICIES, UM, AND DIFFERENT LOAN INCENTIVES AND THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT FROM RESIDENTS WAS THAT THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT EXISTED. SO WHEN WE DO OUTREACH, WE WOULD WANT IT TO BE MULTIFACETED. UM PRESS RELEASES, SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE UPDATES. SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR IS THE CITY OF FRESNO HAS AN EXCELLENT 80 YOU GUIDEBOOK THAT COMBINED WITH PRE APPROVED PLANS DRASTICALLY REDUCES THE BARRIER TO ENTRY FOR INTERESTED RESIDENTS. ALSO PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA WOULD BE A, UH A GUIDE FOR ASPIRING LANDLORDS. SO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO RENT OUT AND EAT YOU. UH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM OVER IN COMMUNICATIONS HAS BEEN VERY ACCESSIBLE, SUCCESSFUL WITH THEIR OUTREACH FOR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SO FAR, PARTICULARLY ON INSTAGRAM. WE COULD SEE THEM INTRODUCING THINGS LIKE DEFINITIONS, REGULATIONS, FUNDING RESOURCES, MAKING MORE DIGESTIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SPEAK IN PLAIN ARIES. UM GIVE IT TO THE PUBLIC IN A WAY THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. A WEB PAGE THAT INCLUDES ALL THE PROGRAM ELEMENTS IN A SINGLE BUCKET, AS IT WERE WOULD ALSO BE RECOMMENDED. SO TO REVIEW THE DIRECTION BASICALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF FUNDING WE FIND, AND THE ABILITY OF BUYING PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, BUT MOST OF THE OPTIONS. BASICALLY AS SOON AS WE GET THE GREEN LIGHT IF YOU WHAT TO GIVE IT. UM THERE ARE REALLY NO COMPARABLE PROGRAMS IN COLLIN COUNTY. UM, VERY VIEW IN TEXAS. SO WE WOULD REALLY BE. HE UH UM, TRAILBLAZING IF WE WERE TO PURSUE ANY OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES. SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE JUST KIND OF A SHORT TIMELINE HERE OF SOME SHORT TERM CHANGES THAT WE CAN MAKE SOME MEDIUM TERM CHANGES AND SOME LONG TERM CHANGES.OBVIOUSLY IN THE SHORT TERM, THINGS LIKE OUTREACH AND EDUCATION ARE LOW HANGING FRUIT, RIGHT. WE COULD EASILY WORK ON KIND OF REALLY GET GOING ON THOSE IF WE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A GUIDEBOOK THAT WOULD BE EASY TO, UM, MIDTERM. THAT WOULD BE THE GETTING SOME PRE APPROVED PLANS, UM, GETTING SOME MORE INFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT LAND LOANS AND GRANTS, PARTICULARLY IF WE WERE ADDING NEW ONES TO THE PROGRAM. ANY PARTNERSHIPS AND THEN IN THE LONG TERM, IF WE WERE TO KIND OF REALLY GO FORWARD WITH THIS KIND OF BEYOND THE EAST MCKINNEY AREA , I DO WANT TO POINT OUT ALSO THAT WE DID WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH HOUSING ON THIS CRYSTAL FROM THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT WAS ON OUR TEAM WHEN WE WERE DOING A LOT OF THIS RESEARCH, SO WE ARE HERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THAT, I WILL STAND NOW AND QUIT TALKING. IN CASE YOU DO ALL RIGHT. WHEN YOU SAY ADDITIONAL AREAS OF THE CITY, THE CODE ALLOWS FOR ANYBODY TO DO THIS CORRECT. IT'S JUST AN H O. A IS LIKELY GOING TO RESTRICT IT. YES WE JUST SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON HOW DO WE DO THE OUTREACH IN EAST MCKINNEY? HOW DO WE ADAPT TO POLICY TO THE STANDARD LOT SIZES? OBVIOUSLY. I USED MCKINNEY. CHARACTERIZE THAT AS OLD MCKINNEY. YES I'M IN ALL OF THE ABOVE. YOU KNOW, RESPONDED ON THIS STUFF. I THINK THAT ANYTHING WE CAN FIND TO BUILD MOMENTUM IN THIS BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT THEY ARE VALUABLE OPTIONS, TOO. PEOPLE WHO OWN AND HAVE LIVED HERE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY WITH THE PROPERTIES THAT THEY HAVE WHETHER IT IS TO PROVIDE, UM MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSING. THAT CAN CAN EASE SOME PAINS OR IF IT IS TO BRING AN INCOME. UM SO I WANT TO JUMP STARTED AS MUCH AS I CAN. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR DOING THIS UM ONE OTHER THING, AND THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY FOR YOU AND NOT PART OF THIS, BUT I WOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE US TO WHEN WE TALKED TO DEVELOPERS THAT ARE COMING IN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE THAT WE ALLOW THIS SO THAT THEY'RE BUILDING IN THAT WAY, AND THAT MIGHT BE THERE. A IS MORE ALLOWING OF THAT, BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT IT IS VALUABLE IN CERTAIN LIFE STAGES WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE EITHER DOWNSIZING OR UPSIZING OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS TO HAPPEN, WHETHER IT BE A YOU KNOW? SOME SOMETHING THAT CAN USE IT AS A KID'S PLAYHOUSE FOR FIVE YEARS, AND THEN IT TURNS INTO A GRANDMA MOTHER IN LAW SUITE FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS AND YOU KNOW, JUST HAVING THAT ABILITY TO DO THAT IS VALUABLE. I THINK AND KIND OF LONG TERM CYCLES THAT WE'RE
[01:05:05]
GOING TO SEE IS A CITY SO UM, ANYWAY, THAT'S WE WILL. WE WILL ADD THAT TO OUR OUTREACH LIST.THANK YOU. HOW IS THERE ANY, UM ANYTHING ON THE BOOKS THAT WOULD PREVENT SOMEONE WHO'S CURRENTLY GOT A NUMBER OF CODE VIOLATIONS ON THEIR EXISTING PROPERTY FROM ADDING AN A D U. NOTHING SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES IT. AS FAR AS THE EIGHT EU REGULATION. I MEAN, IF WE KNOW OF THE CODE VIOLATIONS, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH CODE SERVICES TO GET THOSE REMEDIATED. BUT THAT WOULD BE AN DIFFERENT ISSUE. NOTHING IN THE EIGHT EU REGULATION SAYS YOU SHALL NOT CREATE AN 80 YOU IF YOU ALREADY HAVE EXISTING RECOGNIZED THAT MAYBE WALKING OFF THE RESERVATION HERE A BIT, BUT I THINK THAT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE FLAUNTING OUR CITY CODES CURRENTLY FROM ADDING TO THEIR PROPERTY AND POSSIBLY MAGNIFYING A PROBLEM. AH! I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE PREFAB. I RECOGNIZED THAT . TO SOME EXTENT, HP BABY IS GOING TO HAVE TO WEIGH IN ON SOME OF THIS AS FAR AS WHERE THAT THAT GOES. UM I'M I WANT TO SLOW ROLL ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TAXPAYER MONEY, THOUGH, TO SEE ABOUT WHAT LEVEL OF ADOPTION WE GET. AND I CAN'T HELP BUT I'LL JUST SAY TWO THINGS. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT ONE IS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE 80% OF AM I OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OF THESE PEOPLE. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER THAN PERHAPS SENIOR CITIZENS WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THEIR HOMES, HOW MANY OF THOSE WE REALLY HAVE ANY MORE WITH THE INFLATION AND HOME PRICES AND SOME OF THE INFLATION AND COSTS? MAYBE WE HAVE A LOT. THE OTHER THING, THOUGH, IS THAT IT YOU DID TOUCH ON. I THINK THIS COULD BE A SOLUTION IS THAT UM, THERE WAS AN EMAIL. I GOT WE ALL GOT IT PROBABLY ON COUNCIL AND HOW MANY PEOPLE READ IT. BUT A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN IN SEATTLE WHO GOT EVICTED FROM HER APARTMENT.
SHE WAS HAVING A MENTAL CRISIS BECAUSE OF IT. WELL THE REASON SHE WAS EVICTED AS HER HUSBAND DIED, AND IF YOU READ BETWEEN THE LINES, ONE OF THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS DIED WITH THE HUSBAND. AND SO, UM, THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AS FAR AS RECOGNITION OF AGING BOOMERS BEING A PROFOUNDLY INCREASING. PERCENTAGE OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION. AND THIS COULD GIVE, UM SOME OF THEIR CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY HOUSE THEM, AND I RECOGNIZE THAT SO IN SHORT, I'M NOT ANXIOUS THAT FOLKS WITH CODE VIOLATIONS CURRENTLY ADDING TO THOSE PROPERTIES, UH I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EDUCATION OUTREACH. UM AND KIND OF SEE HOW THAT GOES BEFORE WE DO MUCH MORE. OKAY I DO. CAN I JUST RESPOND TO ONE MORE THING? I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT ALTHOUGH THERE'S NOTHING THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS IF YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE CODE VIOLATION CAN'T DO IT. UM THERE IS THE SITUATION THAT IF THERE IS AN EXISTING BUILDING OR NOT, LIKE A NON CONFORMING STRUCTURE OR SOMETHING YOU CAN'T ADD TO THAT NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE YOU'D HAVE TO MODIFY AND MEET THE NEW NEW RULES THAT WAS GOING TO SAY, AND I LOVE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT CONCERN, BUT I THINK THAT YOU STILL HAVE TO PERMIT THE STRUCTURE, SO YOU HAVE TO GET A PERMIT. SO AS A BUILDER, IF I GO IN AND GET A PERMIT, I'M GOING IN, AND I HAVE TO GET A PERMIT FOR A SPECIFIC PIECE OF PROPERTY. AND I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE HAVE AND IF WE DON'T LET'S FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADOPT IT THAT IF THERE'S CURRENT VIOLATIONS ON THAT PROPERTY THAT WOULD PREVENT A PERMIT FROM BEING ISSUED, BUT THAT MAY ALREADY EXIST. BUT IF IT DOESN'T WE SHOULD AS A SEPARATE ISSUE DEPEND ON WHAT THE VIOLATION IS AND THE DEGREE OF THE VIOLATION. SO WE'VE GOT A HIGH WEEDS AND GRASS VIOLATION AND THEY'RE UNDER THEIR 3030 DAY NOTICE. PROBABLY WOULDN'T HOLD UP A PERMIT. BUT IF WE'VE GOT A SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO BUILDING AND STANDARDS LOOKING TO GET DEMOLISHED. I THINK THE CITY DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO WITHHOLD ANY FUTURE PERMITS ON THAT PROPERTY, SO JUST WOULD DEPEND. YEP I THINK WE CAN ADDRESS THAT'S A GREAT POINT. YEAH. VIOLATION. YEAH.
YEAH I'M THINKING OF I HEARD FROM A RESIDENT AND, UM YOU KNOW WHAT HE WAS SAYING? IS HERE'S SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE BEING LOADED UP WITH RENTERS. YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ON A SMALL PROPERTY AND I COULD SEE AN APPETITE FOR THE LANDLORD OF THAT PROPERTY TO ADD. MAYBE YOU TO ADD MORE RESIDENTS AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO MAKE THAT AN EASY PATH. FOR SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY PROBABLY GOT SOME VIOLATIONS IN IT THAT MAYBE HAVEN'T BEEN ADJUDICATED. TO DO THAT. NOTED AND I WOULD SAY THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD TO THAT IS, UM WE ALLOW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TODAY, SO I THINK THE GAP TO BRIDGE HERE WOULD BE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'D BE ELIGIBLE FOR SOME OF THAT FAST TRACKING OR FEE WAIVERS AND THAT PREFECT PERMIT FROM US, BUT THAT'S FAIR. YEAH, THANK YOU. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER. LET'S SEE. FROM US RIGHT NOW. YOU WOULD LIKE JUST HOW DO YOU WANT US TO PROCEED?
[01:10:05]
OBVIOUSLY WE CAN PROCEED WITH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH RIGHT AWAY. DO YOU WANT US TO KIND OF SLOW ROLL ON THAT AND DO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PREACHING EDUCATION AND SEE HOW IT GOES AND THEN WORK ON COMING UP WITH THESE PRO PRE PRE APPROVED PLANS AND THINGS OR DO WE WANT TO KIND OF GET STARTED ON LOOKING INTO THAT AND MORE CONCRETELY LOOK AT HOW MUCH THAT MAY COST AND DOING AN RFP AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I'LL STAY A COUPLE OF THINGS FROM JUST THE CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH THE HOUSING GROUP AND CAM CAME AND PRESENTED TO THAT, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT WHERE WHERE WE EXPERIENCING BARRIERS AND UM, YOU KNOW, TODAY THE BIGGEST ONES HAVE BEEN CONFORMING. YOU KNOW WHERE? WHERE CAN IT CONFORM? WHERE CAN WE GET ACCESS? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW THE SETBACKS BETWEEN HOUSES ARE DIFFICULT TO GET EQUIPMENT THROUGH THERE, AND IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE TO CRANE OVER A HOUSE AND THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE THINGS. WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO OVERCOME. UM . TO ME, AND IN MY OPINION, THE FIRST ONE THAT WE NEED SOME MORE CONCRETE INFORMATION ON BEFORE WE KIND OF CROSSED THE THRESHOLD IS THE LOANS, YOU KNOW, FINANCING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. CAN BE A BARRIER, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE SOMEBODY EXPERIENCED THAT BARRIER BEFORE WE GO CRASHING OVER IT. OKAY BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE SEE IS EDUCATION, LOT SIZES CONFORMING, POSSIBLY PLANS THAT DO CONFORM. THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE BARRIERS THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED ALREADY. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE EASY TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO CROSS AND THEN THE OBVIOUS BARRIER COST OF IT, BUT YOU GET INTO PREFAB PRETTY 5 MAY REDUCE THAT SOME BUILDER. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THAT THE QUALITY CANNOT EXIST IN A PREFAB, BUT THAT IS, UNFORTUNATELY NOT TRUE QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE BUILT OFF SITE AND I'VE BEEN WORKING, TROLLED ENVIRONMENT AND ERECTED IN A ABSOLUTE EQUAL WAY TO WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FIELD, AND THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPANIES COMING OUT WITH KIDS LIKE THOSE OLD SEARS HOMES AGAIN THAT YOU CAN YOU KNOW PIECES AND PUT TOGETHER DON'T YOU GOT TO GET IT IN THEIR REBUILT? SO YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT BACK THERE. AND THAT THAT THAT WILL REMAIN A CHALLENGE. AS YOU POINTED OUT IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD FROM FROM THE PRE APPROVED PLAN. DUE DILIGENCE.ABDI DILIGENCE AND ACCEPTANCE. UM WE FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PRODUCTS ARE GOING TO BE ACCEPTABLE. UM THE OTHER CHANGES WE TALKED ABOUT. WELL, I THINK ACTUALLY, WE'VE ALREADY PUT THEM IN PLACE IN OUR PREVIOUS SAY TO YOU ORDINANCE, BUT UM I THINK, AS WAS STATED ON THE FINANCE PART, I THINK I WOULD WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT BETTER AND BE VERY CAUTIOUS AS WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE OPTIONS, BUT OKAY? FOR ME. I'M ALL FOR THE OTHER THINGS IMMEDIATELY.
OKAY, CONCUR. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THEN I THANK YOU ALL AND WE THANK YOU ALL AND
[Consider/Discuss a Potential Charter Amendment Election]
HAVE A GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JOB. ITEM 241111 CONSIDERED DISCUSSING POTENTIAL CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTION. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR MAYOR AND COUNCIL. BEFORE I GET STARTED. I WANT TO BRING UP ONE ITEM ON THE AGENDA. UM WHICH WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT EARLIER. BUT SINCE MR GRAHAM AND MR RICHARDSON OR HARRY PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO IT REMEMBER THE LANE CLOSURE ORDINANCES ON YOUR AGENDA? YOU GUYS HAD A DISCUSSION BACK IN DECEMBER. I WAS NOT PRESENT. BUT YOU WILL SEE THAT IT'S FAIRLY COMPLICATED , BUT I WANTED TO MENTION ONE THING BECAUSE AT THAT TIME IT WAS DISCUSSED. PERHAPS RETURNING ALL OF THE MONEY TO THE PARTICULAR DEVELOPER OR BUILDER.AND BECAUSE THE LAW HAS WRITTEN AND THE CASE LAW YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS A FEE, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T GET ALL OF THE FUNDS BACK. AND SO THE COORDINATES WAS REVISED SLIGHTLY TO ALLOW FOR THE MOST UP TO 70% OF THE FUNDS TO BE RETURNED TO THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE A LEGAL FEE AND A PERMIT SCENARIO, WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS. OKAY? SO EVERYTHING ELSE IS, AS YOU DISCUSSED PRETTY MUCH THAT THAT AFTERNOON AND I WANT TO THANK THESE TWO GUYS BECAUSE THEY WORKED REALLY HARD. AND I KNOW THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO FIX. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. AND THEN I WANT TO THANK MRS EMPRESS TRAIN WHO WITH ME, UH, BUT THIS LITTLE SLIDE SHOW TOGETHER BECAUSE UM. THERE WAS A COMMON EARLIER TODAY ABOUT THE CHARTER AND ELECTIONS FOR CHARTER AMENDMENTS AND SHE'S BEEN HERE A WHILE WITH ME AND. TO THE CONTRARY. WE'VE HAD FIVE
[01:15:04]
CHARTER ELECTIONS SINCE 2001. AND IT IS APPROPRIATE AND WE TRY TO PUT ON SCHEDULE AND REVIEW OF OUR CHARGE. PERIODICALLY FOR THIS AND MANY OTHER REASONS, SO THAT THAT WE KEEP IT UPDATED AND TO BE CURRENT. HER LAST CHARTER ELECTION. WE'LL TALK ABOUT HERE IN THE SECOND, BUT IT IS NOT.IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS SINCE WE'VE HAD A CHARTER ELECTIONS, SO CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTION. BUT THE TOPIC ONE OF THE TOPICS TONIGHT IS TERM LENGTHS AND TERM LIMITS. AND, AS YOU CAN SEE IN 2001, OR CHARTER WAS AMENDED BY THE BY THE CITIZENS THE VOTERS TO GO FROM 2 TO 3 YEARS. AND THEN ABOUT 10 YEARS LATER FROM 3 TO 4 YEARS. AND OF COURSE, THE REASONS ARE UH, WITHIN THE VOTERS. HAD BUT THE DISCUSSION ON THIS BODY DIESS WAS THAT GENERALLY THAT. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR A COUNCIL MEMBER, TOO. NOT ONLY LEARN THIS BUSINESS BUT TO ALSO TO BE EFFECTIVE AND. THE PASSAGE AND REGULATIONS THAT YOU SEE EVERY DAY. AND SO THOSE WERE THE PRIMARY REASONS WHY SOME OF THESE EXTENSIONS WERE PASSED. OBVIOUSLY THE CURRENT IS FOR YOUR TERMS, TWO CONSECUTIVE THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THAT. THOSE PROVISIONS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE TO AT LARGE. WE HAVE.
FOUR PLACES FOR DISTRICTS AND THE MAYOR AND BECAUSE OF THE VERNACULAR AND BECAUSE OF WHEN WE CHANGED IT IN 2013. WE HAD TO BE VERY CAREFUL HOW EACH OF THE DIFFERENT SEATS HAD TO BE SERVED CONSECUTIVELY AND FULL TERMS. BEFORE THEIR TERM LIMITS EXPIRED. THIS IS A. OVERVIEW OF THOSE PROVISIONS. THIS IS THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE. AND IN THE IN THE BLUE AND THE YELLOW. IT DISTINGUISHES BETWEEN MEMBER WHO'S A AN AT LARGE DISTRICT WHO GOES TO A DISTRICT OR AN AT LARGE, DEPENDING ON WHICH THEY ARE. AND THOSE TWO ARE IDENTICAL SECTIONS, BUT WE HAD TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COVERED ALL THE SCENARIOS. STOP ME AT ANY TIME. THIS IS ALL JUST BACKGROUND SO THAT YOU CAN DISCUSS STATE LAW ALSO GOVERNS IN THIS AREA. YOU HAVE THE CONSTITUTION. WHICH ALLOWS FOR CITIES OF OUR SIZE. TO AMEND THEIR CHARTER. BY ELECTION, HOWEVER. ONLY EVERY TWO YEARS AND IN OUR CASE, AS I MENTIONED WE HAD A CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTION IN 2019. AND. THEREFORE, WE'RE CERTAINLY ABLE TO DO SO TODAY. THIS SECTION OF OUR CHARTER. 179 BASICALLY MIRRORS THE CONSTITUTION. IN 19. THE CITY COUNCIL CALLED AN ELECTION WHICH BOTH ITEMS OF THESE ARE THE PRIMARY ITEMS ON THAT ELECTION. DEALT WITH THE AREAS OF BRINGING PETITIONS FOR REFERENDUM AND RECALL AND CLARIFYING THE RECALL PROCESS IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WE ALSO HAD A RECALL ELECTION SUBSEQUENT TO THIS AS WELL. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED I TALKED ABOUT REGULARITY OF REVIEW. UM AND THAT, AS YOU KNOW , LEGISLATURE HAS SESSION EVERY TWO YEARS. AND SO LAWS CHANGE. MORE THAN WE LIKE, SOMETIMES FOR CITIES, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A PROVISION IN ALL OF OUR CHARTER. ELECTIONS AMENDMENT ELECTIONS.
THAT REVISES AREAS OF THE CHARTER THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW THAT HAS OCCURRED PRIOR TO THAT ELECTION. AND SO IF THE CITY COUNCIL IS OF THE OPINION THAT WE NEED AN ELECTION, WE WILL CERTAINLY WANT TO ADD THE PROVISION THAT WE UTILIZED TO DO THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE ALWAYS SOME MINOR CHANGES THAT WE NEED TO UH, DEAL WITH OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS. THIS IS THE TIMING AND THE FINANCIAL IMPACT. I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. AGAIN. KIND. MAKEUP OF THE COUNCIL. SOME OF YOU ARE UP FOR ELECTION IN 2025. IF YOU WE ARE ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS. THE OR THE ELECTION. IF IT WERE IN 2025 WOULD LIMIT THOSE MEMBERS FROM RUNNING IN THAT ELECTION FOR ANOTHER TERM. I KIND OF WENT BACKWARDS CONTRARY. ALL OF THE
[01:20:01]
MEMBERS OF THIS BODY COULD BE SUBJECT TO A CHANGE IN THE CONSECUTIVE TERMS IF THE ELECTION IS HELD IN 2024. SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THERE'S THREE MEMBERS IN 2025 THAT ARE FOUR THEY'RE UP. FOUR. YOU GUYS KNOW BETTER THAN I DO. UM. SO HAVING AN ELECTION IN 2024. DOES NOT LIMIT ANY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL FROM RUNNING FOR A TERM THAT WAS CREATED BY SAID ELECTION UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COST. AS YOU KNOW, WE SHARE COSTS WITH ALL OF THE OTHER CITIES WHERE WE HAVE A COUNTYWIDE ELECTION ON THE REGULAR UNIFORM ELECTION DATES IN MAY AND IN NOVEMBER. THE ESTIMATE OF THAT COST IS $90,000 . WHICH HAS BEEN RISING OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE ESTIMATE FOR AN ELECTION IN MAY. $19,000 WHICH WOULD COVER ANY AND ALL PROPOSITIONS. AND OR. ISSUES THAT WE WOULD PUT ON THAT ELECTION. AND I KNOW THAT THE COUNCIL AS YOU ALREADY MENTIONED, MR MAYOR. WILL BE CONSIDERING THE VINE ELECTION ON THE SIXTH. AND SO IF THE CITY COUNCIL WAS INTERESTED IN A PROPOSITION. FOR ANY PROPOSITION FOR THE CHARTER. THOSE COSTS WOULD BE THE SAME. IF THE COUNCIL CHOOSES AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. AND IT WAS THE ONLY ITEM ON THE CITY'S POTENTIAL BALLOT THEN THAT WOULD COST $90,000. THE LAST BULLET, YOU HAVE A BUDGET LINE ITEM FOR ELECTIONS, WHICH IS THAT NUMBER AS WELL AND WE TYPICALLY BUDGET FOR ONE ELECTION PER YEAR, BUT WE SOMETIMES HAVE TO. THE REST OF THE SLIDES ARE JUST INFORMATIONAL BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING FOR YOU TO SEE HOW SOME OF YOUR SISTER CITIES AND METROPLEX CITIES AND STATEWIDE. BECAUSE MCKINNEY, AS YOU KNOW, IS NOW BECOMING ONE OF THE LARGEST CITIES IN THE STATE. SO I DID NOT DO THIS RESEARCH MYSELF. I SAW THIS RESEARCH ON AN ARLINGTON. AH! WEBSITE THAT HAD SIMILAR CHARTER ELECTIONS, SO I WENT AHEAD AND PUT IT TO YOU GUYS. YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE IN THE FOUR YEAR TERMS. MANY CITIES IN THE METROPLEX. THREE, SOME TWO I CAN GO BACK IF YOU WANTED TO. TERM LIMITS. LOT OF LARGE CITIES HAVE TERM LIMITS. SOME LARGE CITIES HAVE NO TERM LIMITS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S FOUR WORTH OVER THERE. LIMIT ON TOTAL TERMS. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU CAN SEE. LIVING ON CONSECUTIVE TERMS. AND THEN WHEN YOU GET INTO THE WEEDS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY COMPUTE THE NUMBER OF YEARS THAT A MEMBER COULD SERVE AND HOW THEY CAN SERVE. IN THE VARIOUS CITIES THAT HAVE FOUR YEAR TERMS TO YOUR TERMS, THREE YEAR TERMS. THE COMBINED AMOUNT OF TIME AND I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S INSTRUCTIVE THAT A LOT OF THE CITIES IN THE METROPLEX IN THE STATE, UNDERSTAND? THAT THE LENGTH OF TIME AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IS SOMETIMES NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOW TO GOVERN.A CITY. 16 YEARS. 18 YEARS. MCKINNEY HAS IN ITS CHARTER. PROVISION THAT IF YOU ARE A COUNCIL MEMBER AT LARGE, OR DISTRICT MEMBER THAT IF YOU WANT TO RUN FOR A. ANOTHER SEAT.
AFTER YOUR TWO YEAR TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS ARE OVER. YOU HAVE A YEAR TO WAIT. THEY CALL IT A COOLING OFF PERIOD. YOU SEE MCKINNEY ON THE LEFT ONE YEAR COOLING OFF. YOU SEE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS TO RUN FOR MAYOR. AND THEN THE MECHANIC CHARTER. COUNCIL MEMBER WHO SERVES TWO CONSECUTIVE FOR YOUR TERMS CAN IMMEDIATELY RUN FOR MAYOR. CONTRARY CONTRARILY, THE MAYOR CONSERVE TWO YEARS IN MCKINNEY, TWO CONSECUTIVE FOUR YEAR TERMS IN MCKINNEY AND THEN RUN IMMEDIATELY FOR COUNCIL. SO WE ALREADY HAVE PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER THAT ALLOW FOR MEMBERS WOULD DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY SIT. TO SERVE FOR 12 YEARS CONSECUTIVELY. IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU WERE A COUNCIL MEMBER DISTRICT OR COUNCIL MEMBER AT LARGE, WHO SERVES TWO YEARS, TWO
[01:25:04]
TERMS 16 YEARS CONSECUTIVELY. WELL, 1616. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO SAY. YOU'D BE HERE AS LONG AS I WOULD BE SO CURRENT CURRENTLY. CURRENTLY ANY ANY MEMBER ON COUNCIL CAN SERVE 16 YEARS. CORRECT CONSECUTIVE CORRECT CURRENTLY YOU ARE CORRECT AND I MISSPOKE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS AS MAYOR AND TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS AS COUNCIL MEMBER. BUT ONLY THE SCENARIO WHERE YOU HAVE TWO CONSECUTIVE FOR YOUR TERMS AS COUNCIL MEMBER. DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A ONE YEAR COOLING OFF PERIOD? OKAY? SO WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS SLIDE. WHICH IS THE CONSECUTIVE TERMS YOU CAN RUN. WHEN YOU'RE CHANGING FROM COUNCIL MEMBER TO MAYOR OR FROM MAYOR TO COUNCIL MEMBER TO 16 YEARS. THAT'S IT. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND THERE IS, AS YOU KNOW, A DEADLINE FOR ANY ELECTION IN MAY, WHICH IS FEBRUARY 17. WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR THE BOND ELECTION. SIXTH BUT WE CAN HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING IF POSSIBLE, IF NEED BE CLEAR UP TO THE 17TH MARK FEBRUARY. QUESTIONS. OKAY CLARIFICATION.ABSOLUTELY APPOINTMENTS, RIGHT? OR SPECIAL ELECTION. THAT'S NOT REALLY ADDRESSED IN HERE. I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE COUNCIL INCLUDING HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, I USE ME. THERE IS A SPECIAL ELECTION. WHERE HE ONLY SERVED A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT NOT 15 MONTHS. YEAH ELECTED BUT THEN HE GETS ANOTHER TERM, RIGHT? CORRECT. THAT'S THE FULL FOUR YEAR TERM FOR YOUR TIME. MR CLOUTIER COULD HAVE WHAT TO IN YOUR YOU SERVED TWO OR. I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING, PERHAPS INCORRECTLY, SO THAT THE SPECIAL ELECTION WHICH I WANT ON HONOR ABOUT THE 15TH OF JANUARY 2021 AND I SERVED 15 MONTHS IN THAT POSITION WOULD NOT PRECLUDE ME FROM RUNNING TO FOR TWO FULL YEAR TERM CORRECT. YEAH TO YOUR POINT. ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE WE HAD ANGELA WOODS, WHO WAS APPOINTED AND THEN SHE DIDN'T RUN, BUT SHE COULD HAVE RAN AND DID 24 TERMS. YES, SIR.
ABSOLUTELY I READ THROUGH THIS. I DIDN'T SEE ANY LANGUAGE. THAT PROHIBITS SOMEBODY FROM DOING TO FOUR TERMS AS LONG AS THEY DID TWO FULL TERMS CONSECUTIVELY CONSECUTIVELY IN THEIR POSITION.
SO I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. I MEAN DISTRICT ONE, FOR INSTANCE, IF THAT WERE TO COME UP, AND I SERVED TWO YEARS HERE IN CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED ME TO DISTRICT ONE. I COULD SERVE TWO FULL TERMS IN DISTRICT ONE. AND THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT SAYS I COULDN'T DO THAT CORRECT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WHERE A PERSON TODAY A MEMBER TODAY COULD SERVE MORE THAN 24 YEAR TERMS IN A CERTAIN SEAT. I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF ONLINE TALKING ABOUT THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO. YOU KNOW, WE'RE OUT THERE TRYING TO EXTEND OUR TERMS. THERE IS THERE IS LOOPHOLES ALREADY THAT WE HAVEN'T EVEN DISCUSSED WHERE SOMEBODY LIKE ME COULD STAY ON CITY COUNCIL FOREVER. AT THE END OF MY EIGHT YEARS, I COULD JUST SAY, HEY, CITY COUNCIL, SOMEBODY DROPS OFF A POINT ME TO ANOTHER.
DISTRICT. OR APPOINT ME THAT LARGE AND JUST KEEP FLIP FLOPPING. THERE'S NOTHING THAT PROHIBITS THAT. YOU COULD ACTUALLY SERVED TWO FULL TERMS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER. TWO FULL TERMS AS MAYOR GO BACK TO TWO FULL TERMS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, GO BACK TO TWO FULL TERMS AS THE MAYOR TO YOUR POINT. THAT IS POSSIBLE. AND I THINK THE PURPOSE OF THE SECTION WAS TWO FULL TERMS AS COUNCIL MEMBER. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MAYOR. NEEDED A TIME OFF TO CHANGE.
COUNCIL MEMBER OF POSITION. THAT'S WHAT THE VOTERS APPROVED CURRENTLY. THEN, CURRENTLY THE WAY MICHAEL JUST SAID IT EVERYONE ON COUNCIL. IF SELECTING THE SEAT, RIGHT? ACTUALLY COULD BE. HAVE NO TERM LIMITS AS FAR AS BEING ON COUNCIL, SO CURRENTLY EVERYONE UP HERE COULD BE ON COUNSEL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. IF THEY WERE ELECTED, AND THEY WENT FROM ONE POSITION FROM ONE FROM DISTRICT TO A LARGE TO A MAYOR TO A DISTRICT TO ANOTHER. OKAY ABSOLUTELY. JUST FOR THE EDIFICATION. ABSOLUTELY, SIR. THAT'S THE KEY. ELECTED YEAH. I MEAN, THE CITIZENS STILL END OF THE DAY. YOU HAVE TO BE ELECTED. YES, I THINK THAT'S WHERE ULTIMATELY UH, OBVIOUSLY SHOULD AND DOES UM LATE. YEP. I AGREE. QUESTIONS. THERE WAS A TIME.
[01:30:14]
SORRY. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD, MINDS OFF JUST BECAUSE I GOT AN EMAIL FROM FROM SOMEBODY ELSE IN A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEBODY. I WON'T NAME HER BY NAME, BUT SHE HAD SAID THAT THE CHARTER ELECTION. UM THE CHARTER AMENDMENT TO GO FROM THREE YEARS TO FOUR YEARS WAS BECAUSE IT WAS TO PUT US IN AN ALIGNMENT WITH WITH STATE LAW. OF COURSE, THIRD. THAT'S RIDICULOUS.INCORRECT ERRONEOUS RIGHT THAT THAT WAS JUST THERE WAS A DECISION JUST MADE. THERE IS NO STATE LAW. THERE ARE MANY, MANY CITIES WITH THREE YEAR TERMS, CORRECT NOTHING THAT ELECTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH STATE. LAW STATE. REQUIREMENTS STATE ANYTHING, IT'S JUST THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF YEARS IN A TERM. WHAT WE YEAH, BUT IT WAS JUST IT WAS A DECISION BY COUNSEL THEN IT THEN, OF COURSE, WENT TO THE PUBLIC TO DECIDE CORRECT NOTHING TO DO WITH STATE REQUIREMENTS, SIR. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT CLARIFICATION CURRENTLY IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE FRISCO IN HERE, BUT THEY DO THREE YEAR TERMS, AND THEY HAVE THREE TERMS OF THREE YEARS, SO THAT WOULD JUST NEGATE THAT ARGUMENT. RIGHT THERE, SO YEAH, AND YOU SAW THE MANY, MANY VARIATIONS. YES, SIR. YOU YOU HAD MENTIONED EARLIER LIKE WE DO A PERIODIC REVIEW, HOWEVER CHARTER AND TO ENSURE THAT PROCESS IS THAT OUR STAFF PROCESS OR IT USUALLY STARTS WITH STAFF. YEAH. AND. IN THE PAST WHEN WE'VE HAD CHARTER AMENDMENTS, ARE THERE SOME THAT ARE JUST KIND OF CLEANING UP? I MEAN, I KNOW THE LAST ONE. WE HAD. KIND OF CLEANED UP SOME LANGUAGE ON RECALLS, BUT LIKE I FEEL LIKE THE ONE WE HAD BEFORE THAT HAD SOME REALLY BIZARRE. AND THINGS ON IT THAT WEREN'T MEANINGFUL. I DON'T KNOW IS THERE IS THERE EVER NEED TO CLEAN UP IN THAT WAY? YES AND WE'VE HAD SOME COMMITTEES THAT WERE FORMED TO LOOK AT THE SUBSTANTIVE THINGS THAT WERE NOT A STATE LAW DRIVEN CHANGE. JUST TO SEE IF THERE WAS INTEREST TO CHANGE A PARTICULAR CHARTER PROVISIONS. SO WE'VE DONE IT DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT. TO YOUR QUESTION EVERY TIME THAT WE'VE HAD A CHARTER ELECTION THAT I CAN REMEMBER. WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A KIND OF A CATCH. ALL THAT WAS A MODIFICATION FOR LEGISLATIVE CHANGES, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT TO THIS BODY IF WE DO THIS AGAIN. UM WE TALKED ABOUT AND REDISTRICTING, AND I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION ON. IT'S NOT PART OF THIS PRESENTATION, BUT WE COULD ALSO LOOK AT. CHANGING OF DISTRICTS OR CHANGING OF NUMBER OF DISTRICTS. WITH A CHARTER AMENDMENT. WHETHER IT BE GO INTO SIX DISTRICTS AND ONE CITYWIDE MAYOR OR GOING FROM FOR DISTRICTS TO SIX DISTRICTS AND TWO AT LARGE IN THE MAYOR OR SOMETHING YOU COULD DO LOTS OF THINGS. LOTS OF OPTIONS AROUND THE TABLE. YES IN TERMS OF OUR DISTRICTS. WHEN THEY WERE FIRST CREATED IN THE THAT HAD BEEN THE SEVENTIES THEY PROBABLY REPRESENTED. AND YES, 1000 PEOPLE AND NOW THEY REPRESENT 50,000 PEOPLE. UM. I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO CONSIDER. YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT, UM, IN A CHARTER AMENDMENT CHANGED THAT WE AT LEAST LOOK AT WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION FOR US IS CONTINUING TO ALLOW THESE DISTRICTS TO GROW TO SOMETHING. LARGE BUT SMALLER THAN CITYWIDE. THE BEST OPTION, OR IS IT WORTH LOOKING AT A TARGET NUMBER FOR HOW MANY DISTRICT MEMBER REPRESENTS. IF YOU WERE TO EXPLAIN THE SIX DISTRICTS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 35,000. AL VERSUS 50,000, WHICH WAS KIND OF WHAT WE REPRESENT TODAY. MM HMM. I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE COMMITTEE, MAYBE, LIKE A BOND COMMITTEE OF CITIZEN COMMITTEE THAT WOULD LOOK AT THAT CHANGED TERM LIMIT CHANGE. COMPENSATION CHANGE AND KIND OF MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WOULD KIND OF YEAH, I THOUGHT IS MAYBE I MISSPOKE. MOST OF THE COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN COUNCIL MEMBER COMMITTEES. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME CITIZEN INPUT. THAT WOULD BE MY THOUGHT WAS ESPECIALLY THE BECAUSE I LEANED TOWARDS. ARE WE IN THE RIGHT SPOT WITH THE DISTRICTS AND I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW AN ANSWER TO THAT. AND I WANT INPUT ON IT WOULDN'T I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO CONVENE SOME SORT OF CITIZEN COMMITTEE THAT LOOKED AT
[01:35:04]
WHAT'S THE BEST PATH FORWARD WITH CLEARLY WOULD TAKE CHARTER AMENDMENT YES. TO CHANGE THE DISTRICT. RIGHT COMPOSITION AND YEAH, THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF DIFFERENT HYBRIDS OF DISTRICTS.YOU KNOW, PLANO HAS AN INTERESTING YEAH, VOTE THEY ELECTED CITYWIDE, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE FROM GEOGRAPHY. YES, DISTRICT. YOU KNOW, DALLAS HAS ALL DISTRICTS, SINGLE MEMBER SURE THAT THAT'S NECESSARILY THE BEST. JUST I'D LIKE SOME MORE INFO ON IT, AND I'D LIKE FOR US TO BE THOUGHTFUL OF IT INSTEAD OF JUST REACTIONARY TO WHAT WE HAVE. AND YOU KNOW WITH DISTRICTS IS DRIVEN A LOT BY CENSUS, AND WE WOULD ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TIMED IT SO THAT THE CENSUS WOULD WRITE THAT FITS WITH HAVING WITH IT. BUT THE THING THAT I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE REDISTRICTING IS BECAUSE OF THE MAKEUP OF OUR CITY YOU CAN FIND POSSIBLY 5 TO 6.
DISTINCT AREAS THAT KIND OF HAVE COMMONALITY IN THEIR ISSUES. GREG RANCH, COLORADO.
STONEBRIDGE. NORTH OF 380, EAST SIDE AND CENTRAL. AND BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE FOUR REPRESENTATIVES, WE END UP HAVING A CHOP THOSE IN SOME WAY. AND BUT THAT MAY HURT US AND. YOU KNOW WHERE WHERE CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE ELECTED OR WERE CERTAIN PEOPLE WE'RE NOT, UM UNDERSTOOD OR. REPRESENTED AND SO THAT'S WHY I THINK I'LL GO AHEAD AND THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT AND THEY'RE THEY'RE THE COUNCIL PASSED A RESOLUTION ON THE FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN THE REDISTRICTING EACH TIME THAT WE DO IT AND YEAH. I THINK THE ONE OF THE UNDERLYING THEMES IS TO NOT DILUTE THE VOTES. OF CERTAIN YOU KNOW. MINORITY GROUPS AND SO ON. IT IS HARD, ESPECIALLY REPRESENT A DISTRICT THAT. SPANS PRETTY PRETTY BROADLY GEOGRAPHICALLY, AND IT'S . IT'S INTERESTING. YOU'RE ALSO SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT FACTORS WHICH TIE INTO THAT BUT THAT MAY BE MORE FEASIBLE WITH SIX DISTRICTS RATHER THAN FOUR DISTRICTS. AND I WOULD JUST I'D LIKE SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT THAT THAT'S MY THOUGHT. WITH ANY OF THE.
CHARTER AMENDMENT CHANGES THAT WE KIND OF LOOK AT THIS BROADER THAN JUST A SINGLE ISSUE AND COME UP WITH SOME. GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS FROM A GROUP OF CITIZENS. IT'S ENTIRELY UP TO THIS BODY TO DECIDE. WHICH WAY YOU WANT TO GO. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUBLICLY MAKE A STATEMENT BECAUSE WE'VE ALL GOTTEN A NUMBER OF EMAILS ASKING ABOUT OUR POSITION ON THIS. AND UM, THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A RECENT THOUGHT FOR ME. I'VE OFTEN THOUGHT WHY WE HAD TERM LIMITS HERE IN THE CITY. UM MOSTLY BECAUSE THIS CITY HAS SEEN A LOT OF GROWTH OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES. AND WE'RE STILL NOT BUILT OUT. WE STILL HAVE QUITE A WAYS TO GO.
WE'RE STILL SEEING A LOT OF RAPID GROWTH AND WE WILL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. I THINK THE ESTIMATION IS THAT AT SOME POINT WE'LL REACH POPULATION SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 303 150. THAT'S QUITE A BIT. UM AND I THINK WHENEVER YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A TIME PERIOD WHERE YOU ARE GROWING THAT RAPIDLY, IT'S NICE TO HAVE STABILITY. AND YOUR LEADERSHIP. AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE STILL HAVE A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS FOR PEOPLE TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT TO KEEP THAT SAME LEADERSHIP. SO YOU KNOW, HAVING TERM EXTENSIONS DOES NOT NEGATE THE VOTE. THE VOICE OF THE VOTERS, UM IT'S STILL PROVIDES AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ENGAGE WITH VOTERS FOR VOTERS TO ENGAGE WITH US AND TO TELL US THEIR THOUGHTS. BUT I THINK WHAT IT DOES PROVIDES SOME EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING HOW LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS RUN. UM IT GIVES MORE TIME FOR THE EXECUTION OF A CLEAR VISION. I MEAN, THE REASON WHY WE ARE ELECTED IS TO EXECUTE A VISION AND TO BE THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IT ALLOWS FOR MORE TIME. TO DO THAT. I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT SOME DATA FROM THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES, WHICH IS A NONPARTISAN ORGANIZATION. IT'S COMPRISED OF CITIES AND TOWNS AND VILLAGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEY HAVE MORE THAN 2700 PARTICIPANTS IN THIS ORGANIZATION, AND THEY DID A SURVEY AND ONLY 9% OF THEIR MUNICIPALITIES HAD TERM LIMITS. THE SAME RESULT CAME OUT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CITY. SLASH COUNTY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION. 91% OF MUNICIPALITIES IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE NO TURN ON ITS FOR THEIR MAYOR OR CITY COUNCIL. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THIS. THE ARGUMENTS AROUND WHAT WE DON'T YOU KNOW WHY? WHY ARE TERM LIMITS MORE POPULAR NOW AND I THINK THE ARGUMENTS ARE THAT IT LIMITS OR REDUCES THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SYSTEM. BUT THERE IS NO DATA TO SUGGEST THAT THE DATA ACTUALLY COUNTERS THAT UM, YOU KNOW THE IN TERMS OF THE FISCAL POLICIES
[01:40:03]
THAT ARE SET FORTH WHETHER THEY'RE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, UM , THAT IS NOT DICTATED BY TERM LIMITS. SO TO ME, I DON'T SEE ARGUMENTS THAT REALLY SUPPORT, UM, LIMITING US TO JUST TWO TERMS AT THIS POINT. I THINK THERE'S ACTUALLY FAR MORE BENEFIT FOR US AS A COMMUNITY TO SEE MORE STABLE LEADERSHIP MOVING INTO THE FUTURE, SO THAT IS MY POSITION, AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M ACTUALLY IN SUPPORT OF EXTENDING THE TERMS. ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMENTS AS I GUESS. ABSENCE NO ACTION TODAY. THIS IS PURELY A WORK SESSION WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST GET A FEEL FOR WHAT WE NEED TO GET ORDERS TOGETHER. THANK YOU FROM, YOU KNOW, DR FILTERS STATEMENT.I. I WILL SAY I AM FOR TERM LIMITS, YOU KNOW, LIMITING A TERM UM THIS DISCUSSION IS ABOUT ADDING ANOTHER ANOTHER. TERM TO THE YOU KNOW, CURRENT COUNCIL OR MAYORS. YOU KNOW, TENURE IN OFFICE. BUT THERE'S. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR EVERYBODY THAT THERE IS A WAY THAT ALL OF US COULD STAY ON COUNCIL, REGARDLESS AND YOU KNOW, AND THAT MAYBE THAT DISCUSSION INTERNALLY WITH COUNCILOR AND PUTTING OUT TO THE PUBLIC. WE CLOSED. THIS WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE THOSE LOOPHOLES. YOU KNOW, BY ADDING AN EXTRA TIME AND I JUST WANT TO GET THE THOUGHT PROCESS OUT THERE WITH THE CITIZENS TO SAY, YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW? THERE'S THINGS OUT HERE THAT YOU KNOW THAT COULD BE CLOSED. IT COULD BE. YOU KNOW, IT'S OPENED UP A BIGGER DISCUSSION. YOU KNOW, I LIKE JUSTIN BELLA'S COMMENT ABOUT YOU KNOW THE DISTRICTING.
I THINK THAT'S A DISCUSSION THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. AND WE SHOULD. MAYBE EVEN, UH, EXPLORE THAT WITH, YOU KNOW. BIGGER CITIZEN COMMITTEE. AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, LOOK TOWARDS THAT FOR 11 NOVEMBER ELECTION JUST, YOU KNOW , I THINK THAT THAT WILL TAKE TIME. AND JUST JUST WITH THE DRAWING AND YOU KNOW, AND THINGS OF THAT SORT OF JUST THIS IS JUST A LONGER AVENUE AND ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, COMPENSATION. ONE OF THE MESSAGES I TRY TO YOU KNOW, SINCE BEING ELECTED, TRY TO STAY OFF FACEBOOK, BUT YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY IT WAS COLD AND I WAS AND I WENT DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. YEAH YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW BETTER. BUT I YOU KNOW, I GOT THERE. THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT FROM A UH, A GUY THAT I WON'T SAY HIS NAME. HE JUST, YOU KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, HE'S ALWAYS GONNA HATE US. IT'S JUST THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. BUT HE PUT A MESSAGE OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY WAS, YOU KNOW, I WAS LIKE, OH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING. IN A ANY AND, YOU KNOW, AND IN BASICALLY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IN A SENSE THAT YOU KNOW. IF YOU HAVE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TERM LIMITS, AND WE'RE NOT ASKING TO REMOVE TERM LIMITS, BUT THIS IS A STATEMENT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TERM LIMITS, YOU GET THIS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF YOU KNOW, KING SENSATION WHERE YOU HAVE, LIKE AN OLIGARCHY, PEOPLE JUST RUNNING, YOU KNOW, RUNNING AND THEY JUST THEIR THEIR CAREER POLITICIANS. WILL YOU KNOW IF YOU COULD LOOK AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, UM THE AVERAGE WELL, NOT THE AVERAGE THE COLLIN COUNTY YOU KNOW? THESE GUYS MAKE $140,000 A YEAR. THERE'S NO TERM LIMITS, AND THEY MEET LIKE TWICE A MONTH. AND THEY NEVER GET THE POLLS WHEN THEY RUN. THERE'S AN ELECTION GOING ON RIGHT NOW, THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND THEY WILL SHOW UP AND THEY'RE FIGHTING ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE A CITY WE HAVE A WE HAVE A COUNTY ELECTION GOING ON. WHERE WE HAVE COUNTY MEMBERS THAT CAN SERVE AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME. MAKE 100 $40,000 AND WE'RE BADGERING CITY COUNCILMAN THAT MAKE 50 BUCKS A MEETING LIKE WE HAVE SOME AGENDA GOING ON THAT I JUST THINK THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED IN THE STATEMENTS THEY MAKE. ARE THERE SHOULD BE DIRECTED SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT THE DIRECTED AT US AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S NO THE REASONING IN YOUR HEAD. IT'S THERE, BUT IT'S DIRECTED AT THE WRONG PERSON. SO I JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE I KNOW SOMEBODY'S WATCHING. AND THEY'RE GONNA REVIEW THE TAPE, AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA LOOK AT THEIR FACEBOOK COMMENT AND SEE WHAT THEY SAID. AND REALIZED THAT THAT WAS THE KIND OF A BAD COMMENT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY LIMITATIONS ON SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES AS WELL. YEAH AND I'LL MAKE A COMMENT BECAUSE I HAVE A THE FAN BASE OUT THERE THAT IS TRYING TO MAKE THIS ALL ABOUT ME. UM, AND THAT SAME PERSON. UM WHICH I WON'T MENTION JOHN'S NAME. UM BUT SAID , UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S SELF SERVING. I JUST WANT TO FOR THE RECORD. ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT SERVING ON COUNCIL AT $50 A MEETING SACRIFICING MUCH FAMILY TIME. DEFINITELY THE PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS TIME.
RECREATIONAL TIME. IS SELF SERVING IS REALLY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS POSITION IS. AND MOST OF THOSE THAT SAY THAT I CAN THINK OF A MATTER OF FACT, EVERYONE I'M THINKING OF RIGHT NOW. AND THAT FAN BASE I'M REFERRING TO, UM I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE, UM THAT THAT IF THAT
[01:45:01]
SERVE OR DO ANYTHING IN THE COMMUNITY OTHER THAN SIT ON THE SIDELINE OUTSIDE THE ARENA, THROWING MUD AND MAKING THE ACCUSATIONS LIKE THEY DO, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT WAS HERE TODAY. THEY'RE NOT ENGAGED. THEY'RE NOT THEY DON'T THEY DON'T THEY DON'T SERVE. THEY DON'T. SO I UNDERSTAND IF YOU'VE NEVER SERVED, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE AND THAT THAT SO THAT THE COMMENT ABOUT SELF SERVING, AS IS NO. SIX PEOPLE BESIDE ME. UM, THAT WORK AND GIVE UP A LOT. WE HAVE SINGLE MOMS WE HAVE WE HAVE AH, PROFESSIONALS HERE THAT THAT SPEND TIME IN THE CITY AND NOT NOT WITH THEIR CAREER IN THEIR FAMILY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SELF SERVING ABOUT THAT. UM JUST ON A FOLLOW UP COMMENT TO YOUR COMMENT ON THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. I'VE ALSO HAD THE ABILITY AND HAVE EXECUTED THAT ABILITY. NOT ALL BUT SOME HAVE VOTED, AND BUT IT'S BEEN CONSENSUS. UH TO GIVE THEMSELVES PAY RAISES, I THINK FOUR TIMES OVER LESS. NUMBER OF YEARS OCTOBER 2023, WHICH JUST RECENTLY MOVED THEM FOR 100.276,000 AND THEN FOR THE COUNTY JUDGE 100 AND 73,000 IS THE MAX. I'M JUST DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THAT. SO I JUST SIT IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW. SO WE'RE IN A VERY DIFFERENT POSITION THAN AND ALL OF OUR CONTEMPORARIES AND YOU JUST SAW GOVERNMENT BUT ANYWAY. TO SPEAK REALLY PLAINLY.
UM ON THIS BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. THE MAYOR OF GRAPEVINE, WILLIAM D. TATE WAS ELECTED IN 1988. IT'S TRUE. HE'S DONE. I THINK HE'S PROBABLY DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB, AT LEAST FROM LOOKING OUT AT IT. UM I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE UP HERE. I REALLY DIDN'T. I'M I'M AN INDEPENDENT GUY. I HAVE MY OWN BUSINESS. I WAS KIND OF LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE MY TOYS AND GO HOME. IF I WANT TO. UM BUT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ARE MAYOR INCLUDED, YOU KNOW, ASKED ME TO STEP UP AND RUN WHEN I DID. IN OTHER THAN MY GRANDKIDS. THIS HAS BEEN THE BLESSING OF MY ADULT LIFE. I HAVE A BLAST SERVING. I DON'T PLAY GOLF. I DON'T FISH. I DON'T DO MUCH. I HAVE MY OFFICE. I'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 30 SOMETHING YEARS. I'VE WORK OUT. THAT'S WHAT I DO. UM. SO THIS IS AN ADVOCATION FOR ME. IT'S. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF THOUGHT. WELL WHY DOES HE DO IT FOR 50? BUCKS MEETING? YOU KNOW, WHY DOES HE DO WHY HE COULD MAKE MORE MONEY? HE COULD MAKE MORE MONEY. THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS THAT I WON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH YEAR, BUT THIS SCRATCHES AND ITCHY IF IT DOESN'T SCRATCH AND ITCH YOU'RE GOING TO BE A ONE TERMER.
AND THERE'S SOME REALLY GOOD PEOPLE. WHO HAVE BEEN ONE TERMERS IN THIS JOB. SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IN MCKINNEY. UH I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS COMING UP WHERE IT CAN IMPACT ME. I REALLY AM. I. I WANT TO HONOR IT. I'M A TERM LIMIT GUY, THE ONLY OFFICE THAT I CAN VOTE FOR. AND IF YOU'RE IN MCKINNEY IS D. THEN YOU'RE THE SAME AS ME. THE ONLY OFFICE I COULD VOTE FOR THAT HAS A TERM LIMIT AS THE PRESIDENT, THE UNITED STATES. BUT I LIKE TERM LIMITS. I THINK MOST PEOPLE LIKE TERM LIMITS NOW. THE LIKE IT'S BEEN SAID THIS IS GOING FROM 3 TO 2.
RIGHT. ASK EVERYBODY TAKE A DEEP BREATH. WE CAN BE WHATEVER WE WANT TO BE. WE CAN'T WE CAN BE A TWO TERM LIMIT CITY. WE CAN BE A THREE TERM LIMITS CITY THAT'S REALLY SEEMS LIKE THE BINARY DISCUSSION ON THE ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW. SO IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF THEM EMBRACE IT. IN AND DO THAT THE REASON. AND I'M I THINK I'M PRETTY CLOSE TO THE SUN, RIGHT? I'M SITTING UP HERE.
SO MAYBE I'M NOT DON'T HAVE AN OBSERVATION THAT A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS DO.
