I WIPED MY EYE, AND NOW MY CONTACTS MOVING, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE. I REMEMBER SIX YEARS AGO SITTING. AND I BELIEVE IT WAS TRACY RATH AND CHARLIE PHILLIPS WERE, SITTING AT THE TABLE. AND I JUST THOUGHT I STARTED TALKING ABOUT, THE CITY AND HOW MUCH I LOVED IT HERE. AND HOW I WOULD JUST BE EXCITED TO SERVE ON ANY BOARD AND THEY DECIDED THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR DECIDED TO APPOINT ME. AND I WAS LIKE, OH, THIS IS EXCITING. AND I HAD JUST MOVED HERE A YEAR BEFORE, AND I HAD NO IDEA, THOUGH AT THAT POINT, THE IMPACT THAT THE CITY WAS GOING TO HAVE ON ME AND EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD THAT HAS SERVED BEFORE ME AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AFTER ME. AND SO, I'VE TOLD THIS STORY BEFORE, BUT WHEN I WHEN I CAME HERE, I WENT TO ONE OF OUR SISTER CITIES AND I WAS LIKE, NO, NO, I STARTED CRYING. I WAS LIKE, I CAN'T LIVE IN THIS CITY. AND MY HUSBAND SAID, LET'S GO OVER TO MCKINNEY AND LET'S LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. YOU'VE ALWAYS TALKED HIGHLY OF MCKINNEY. AND SO WE CAME OVER AND I WENT TO THE DOWNTOWN FIRST OR CAME DOWNTOWN, AND I WAS LIKE, THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE.

[00:15:18]

MONTH SINCE THE LAST BOARD MEETING, WE, THE BOARD PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENTS AND PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE SUPPORTED. EMPTY BOWLS. THE AIRPORT FBO, OPEN HOUSE, CORNERSTONE RANCH, COME TO THE TABLE, MAIN GATE, LIVE AT TUBBS R&B FESTIVAL, MUSIC FESTIVAL, CHESTNUT SQUARE, 70S. BOOGIE WONDERLAND CELEBRATING 50 YEARS LOVE, LIFE, WOMEN AND SERVICE LUNCH WOODSIDE COMMUNITY MOTHER'S DAY EVENT IN THE COURSE THE C C J CUP. BYRON OLSON AND WE'LL JUST, USE, SAY OUR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AT THE END. SO I WILL NOW GO TO CITY OF MCKINNEY. MR. GRIMES. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SPECIAL THANK YOU TO BOARD MEMBER BARNES TILLEY FOR YOUR SERVICE. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE, WORKING WITH YOU. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I THINK MY WIFE AND I MET YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND. IT WAS THE CDC HOLIDAY DINNER. I THINK IT WAS AT LOCAL YOKEL WHEN IT FIRST OPENED, WHEN ONE OF THOSE BACK ROOMS AND WE SAT NEXT TO YOU, AND IT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION. SO IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO KNOW YOU. AND THANK YOU. AND I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE YOU AROUND. SO THAT'S GOOD, A FEW THINGS TO UPDATE YOU ON, CITYWIDE. AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAD A BOND ELECTION , THIS LAST FORTNIGHT, AND WE HAD FOUR OF THE FIVE BONDS PASSED, THE ONE THAT DID NOT PASS WAS THE MUNICIPAL COURT FACILITIES, I HAD AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE OFFERED BY CHAIRMAN LOCKMILLER FROM THE MEDC. HE SAID HE HAD LITERALLY HAD PEOPLE SAY WE THOUGHT THOSE WERE FOR TENNIS COURTS. AND I THOUGHT, WELL, I HOPE THAT WASN'T THE PREVAILING VIEW OF THE VOTERS AT ANY EVENT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE AGAINST TENNIS, BUT, THAT ONE DID NOT PASS. WE WILL GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT OTHER WAYS TO, MODERNIZE OUR, MUNICIPAL COURT FACILITIES, THERE'S THE BENEFIT, OF COURSE, OF THE BOND ELECTION IS TO BE ABLE TO SPREAD OUT THAT, COST OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD OF A MUNICIPAL BOND AT RELATIVELY LOW COST OF MONEY.

BUT THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN, AND WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDINGLY. THE OTHER FOUR PROPOSITIONS PASSED, MOST OF THREE OF THE FOUR, THREE OF THOSE FOUR REMAINING ONES PASSED OVERWHELMINGLY. THE ONE THAT DIDN'T PASS OVERWHELMINGLY BUT DID PASS WAS BY TWO VOTES. AND THAT WAS THE PUBLIC WORKS SOUTH FACILITY, AND, BUT WE ARE OFF TO THE RACES ON MOVING FORWARD WITH A VERY ROBUST, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OVER THE NEXT COMING YEARS. THE ROAD PROGRAM ITSELF IS THE LARGEST EVER WE'VE DONE IN MCKINNEY, $243 MILLION. THAT'S THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WE NEED. BUT VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTED IT. THEY CLEARLY ROADS ARE ON THEIR MINDS. SO WE WILL BE WORKING HARD IN THAT REGARD, A COUPLE OTHER THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOU, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS HAS ALREADY TALKED ABOUT. I FLAGGED THAT ONE, BUT THAT ONE HAS BEEN COVERED, I'M REMEMBERING WHAT I COVERED WITH THE EDC. I WANTED TO CALL OUT A COUPLE OF DEPARTMENTS. OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT WAS JUST RECOGNIZED FOR RECEIVING THE SIXTH STAR FROM THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER. THE SIXTH TRANSPARENCY STAR, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY HERE. MCKINNEY WAS THE FIRST PUBLIC BODY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO EARN FIVE TRANSPARENCY STARS WITH THE STATE COMPTROLLER. AND WE AT THE TIME, THAT WAS ALL THERE WERE FIVE STARS. THEY'VE ADDED A SIX STAR. AND WE ARE ONE OF ONLY TWO PUBLIC BODIES THAT HAVE SIX TRANSPARENCY STARS. SO, IT CLEARLY OUR FINANCE FOLKS AND OUR ADMINISTRATION, WE IT DOES DEMONSTRATE, I THINK, OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR, STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY. THAT'S A KEY COMPONENT FOR BUILDING TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S A HALLMARK OF WHAT WE TRY TO DO. AND WE IT'S NOT US DETERMINING WHAT'S TRANSPARENCY. IT'S THE TEXAS STATE COMPTROLLER. THEY SET THE STANDARDS AND WE ARE HAPPY TO MEET THOSE. I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE A COUPLE OF FOLKS IN OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. THESE INTERNAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT DON'T OFTENTIMES GET KNOWN BY THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY MAKE THE ENGINE RUN RIGHT. THEY'RE THE ENGINE ROOM OF THE OF THE SHIP, AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T SEE THAT PART. BUT HR DEPARTMENT, THEY, THEY DO AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK WITH RESPECT TO COMPENSATION AND ANALYSIS THAT KEEPS OUR EMPLOYEES HAPPY, KEEPS THEM, KEEPS THINGS FRESH AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF BENEFITS THAT WE NEED TO EITHER CONSIDER HAVING OR UPDATING OR MODERNIZING. AND COREY HENDON AND MICHELLE HOLT WERE AWARDED THE IMPACT AWARD BY THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL HUMAN RESOURCES ASSOCIATION IN, IN OUR HR DEPARTMENT WAS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2024 HUMAN RESOURCES IMPACT AWARD. SO I WANT TO CONGRATULATE AND GIVE THEM A PUBLIC PAT ON THE BACK. AND WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS I HAVE.

[00:20:01]

ONE QUESTION ON THE PUBLIC WORKS BOND IS THAT WINNING BY TWO VOTES IS THAT AFTER PROVISIONAL BALLOTS AND MAIL INS AND AFTER THE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS, IT'S DONE. IT WAS ALREADY CANVASED.

IT'S DONE. OKAY COOL. I HAVE A RELATED QUESTION. HOW MANY, HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTED AND WHAT SHARE IS THAT OF THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS? I DON'T HAVE THE PERCENTAGES WITH ME. I'D HAVE TO ASK, WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, BUT I THINK THE PERCENTAGE WAS AROUND 12 TO 10 OR 10 TO 12.

THAT'S TYPICAL. YEAH. WELL, FOR THESE TYPES OF ELECTIONS, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE BALLOT. THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE CONTESTED. SO, PAUL, THE MAYOR IS DISAGREEING WITH YOU. OH, JEEZ. WELL, I ONLY TRIPLED IT. I ONLY TRIPLED IT 4. SO MUCH FOR TRANSPARENCY. YES, YES. I DIDN'T HAVE THE NUMBERS. I SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT WE ARE VOTING RIGHT NOW. AND YOU ALWAYS THINK MY VOTE DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL. AND TWO VOTES MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE. YES, ABSOLUTELY. ONE VOTE THE OTHER WAY. ABOUT 6000. YOU SAID.

YEAH. SIX. OKAY. 7000. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH. THANK YOU MR. AARON MCKINNEY. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. AARON WARNER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT VISIT MCKINNEY, BOARD MEMBER, BARNES TILLEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE. I ECHO EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID THIS MORNING, AND WE WILL GLADLY WELCOME YOU AS A VISITOR. IF YOU COME BACK, JUST LET US KNOW. WE'LL HAVE A WELCOME BAG WAITING FOR YOU. WHATEVER HOTEL YOU STAY AT. SO, YEAH, KEEP KEEP US UP TO DATE, THIS WEEK IS, IS NATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM WEEK. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WHERE ALL OF OUR TOURISM DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE SOME OF THE SUCCESSES WE'VE HAD IN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST YEAR. OBVIOUSLY, FOR MCKINNEY, JUST COMING OFF OF THINGS LIKE THE BYRON, IT'S REALLY EASY TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE HOW BLESSED WE ARE FROM A TOURISM STANDPOINT IN OUR CITY.

AND IT'S ONLY GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY, AND AS YOU KNOW, TRAVEL IS THE FOUNDATION OF A THRIVING AMERICA. IT STRENGTHENS EVERY INDUSTRY. IT CREATES JOBS AND INJECTS REVENUE INTO OUR COMMUNITIES, ULTIMATELY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS. IN 2023, IN MCKINNEY, WE GENERATED $283 MILLION IN DIRECT VISITOR SPEND, WHICH WAS AN 8% INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. WE. THAT MAKES UP AROUND 2100 JOBS IN THE TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY ACROSS OUR CITY BORDERS, AND 20 OR I'M SORRY AND $32.9 MILLION IN LOCAL TAX REVENUE GENERATED DIRECTLY THROUGH THE TOURISM INDUSTRY. I HAVE ANOTHER DATA SOURCE THAT I USE THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE STATE, ANOTHER DATA SOURCE WE USE WITH GEOLOCATION AND SPIN DATA THAT WE HAVE INSIDE OUR OFFICE, SHOWING THAT 28% OF SPENDING IN MCKINNEY WAS DONE BY VISITORS FROM OUTSIDE OF A 50 MILE RADIUS, WITH AN AVERAGE SPEND OF AROUND $249. WHEN THEY WOULD COME INTO THE COMMUNITY, WE ALSO TRACK OUR OUR TOP POINT OF INTEREST FOR THE CITY THROUGH THAT LOCATION, DIRECTED TO VISITORS. SO THIS ISN'T EVERY SINGLE PERSON COMING TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN AND VISITING FROM OUTSIDE OF THAT RADIUS. AND THE TOP POINT OF INTEREST OVER THE PAST YEAR, WERE DIRECTED TO OUR SPORTS FACILITIES. AND SO I KNOW WE HAVE OUR PARKS TEAM BEHIND ME , BUT GABE NESBITT IS ALWAYS AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST, AND, IT KIND OF TRICKLES DOWN FROM THERE , BUT WES MCKINNEY AND OUR SPORTS FACILITIES CONSISTENTLY SHOW UP AS A TOP POINT OF INTEREST FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, FOLLOWED BY OUR RESTAURANTS AND DINING, WHICH IS WHERE DOWNTOWN AND ALL THE OTHER , OPPORTUNITIES COME INTO PLAY.

AND SO, THAT'S JUST A LITTLE SNAPSHOT FOR YOU TODAY FROM SOME OF THE DATA THAT WE PULLED FOR OUR NATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM WEEK. WE'RE DOING SOME FUN, FUN SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK TALKING ABOUT THINGS IN MCKINNEY, INCLUDING A UPSET BERRY FARM THAT I DID NOT KNOW WAS INSIDE OUR CITY LIMITS, AND THAT THAT REEL IS GOING VIRAL THIS WEEK. AND SO I'M LEARNING THINGS AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE. BUT I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS . ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE ONE, SO DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY THAT YOU SAID 28% OF ALL SPENDING IN MCKINNEY COMES FROM TRAVELERS FROM GREATER THAN 50 MILES AWAY. THAT IS WHAT? YES, THAT IS WHAT OUR, DATA IS SHOWING. AND SO OUR DATA ONLY LOOKS AT, PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING FROM 50 MILES OUT IN GREATER ENTER INTO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY CITY LIMITS, STAY FOR TWO HOURS AND GO TO A POINT OF INTEREST INSIDE THE CITY. SO IT CAN'T BE THAT THEY JUST GRAB GAS AND KEPT DRIVING THROUGH. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THAT BREAKS IT OUT. AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S SHOWING FOR THE PAST YEAR. I MEAN, THAT'S A REALLY HIGH PERCENT. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. THAT COMES FROM STATE DATA. THIS IS, GEOLOCATION AND SPEND DATA. SO IT'S LAYERED THROUGH, CELL PHONE AND CREDIT CARD. WOW. YEAH, YEAH. DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE FOR HOW THAT COMPARES TO, LIKE, MORE TRADITIONAL TOURIST CITIES,

[00:25:05]

WELL, SO OVERALL, I'LL JUST SAY OVERALL, MCKINNEY FROM A, VISITOR RESIDENT RATIO IS ANOTHER WAY YOU COULD LOOK AT IT. WE DO WE DO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DATA AS WELL. AND WE WE'RE STILL UNDER THE BENCHMARK COMPARED TO, OTHER CITIES THAT ARE USING THAT ARE, THAT ARE IN THAT DATA, YOU KNOW, GEOLOCATION DATA. SO, I IMAGINE THAT IN SOME OTHER CITIES IT'S EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT. AND SO, SO, THE, THE HIGHEST I'VE SEEN FROM A VISITOR TO RESIDENT RATIO IN THERE IS 19 OUT OF EVERY HUNDRED VISITORS OR PEOPLE ARE A VISITOR. YOU HAVE SOME CITIES, THINK ABOUT SOME DESTINATIONS THAT YOU GO TO THAT RIGHT THAT ARE, REALLY TOURIST FOCUSED, YOU CAN HAVE UPWARDS OF , OF 50% OR MORE OF THE PEOPLE THERE, BEING VISITORS, SO THAT THAT'S ONE WAY YOU CAN LOOK AT IT, THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS YOU CAN SKIN THE CAT WITH THIS DATA AND LOOK AT IT. BUT, ALSO WILLING TO OR AM GOING TO PROVIDE FULL ACCESS TO THE DATA TO CINDY AND HER TEAM SO Y'ALL CAN, DIG THROUGH AS WELL IF YOU NEED TO. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE MEDIC, MR. KOSKI. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT, BOARD MEMBERS, BOARD MEMBER BARNES TILLEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORT HERE. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, OUR TENURE IS REALLY OVERLAPPED. SO WHAT'S REALLY COOL ABOUT YOUR POSITION AND EVERYBODY'S POSITION IS YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE ON THE CITY FOREVER. SO BE PROUD OF THAT. SO WELL DONE. YEAH, BYRON NELSON, WE HAD A GREAT EVENT. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT. AND HELPING SUPPORT US IN OUR SUITE AND HELPING ENTERTAIN ONE TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE MISTER KELLY, ONE OF OUR ASSIGNMENTS THIS YEAR. ONE OF OUR GOALS, AT LEAST, WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HAVING VERY INTENTIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS WE'RE TRYING TO RECRUIT TO COME TO MCKINNEY. AND MR. KELLY SPENT SOME TIME WITH A PROSPECT, AND IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. AND THE PROSPECT SIDE, MR. KELLY DID A GREAT JOB REPRESENTING THE CITY. SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT, I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. MIKE. HAPPY TO, YESTERDAY WE HAD A GREAT EVENT AT THE SHERATON HOTEL. PLUG AND PLAY. AS A REMINDER, PLUG AND PLAY IS AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY WITH ROOTS IN SILICON VALLEY. THEY HELP ACCELERATE STARTUPS INTO A ROBUST ECOSYSTEM IN CITIES LIKE MCKINNEY. SO BASICALLY, WE HAD ABOUT 200 PEOPLE AT THE SHERATON, PITCHING THEIR IDEAS, SHOWCASING WHAT THEY'RE DOING. PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY FLEW IN TO EXPERIENCE WHAT'S GOING ON IN MCKINNEY. SO KUDOS TO THE TEAM FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER. MORE TO COME ON THAT FRONT. AND THEN MY LAST NOTE IS I WANT TO CONGRATULATE MICHAEL TALLEY. MICHAEL TALLEY IS OUR SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AT THE MEDICI. HE WAS NAMED BY A VERY PRESTIGIOUS ORGANIZATION CALLED CONSULTANT CONNECT AS ONE OF THE TOP 50 ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS IN NORTH AMERICA. SO YOU GOT THAT RECOGNITION LAST WEEK. SO KUDOS TO MICHAEL. WELL EARNED. AND HE MAKES OUR TEAM FANTASTIC. SO WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS AS A COMMENT. CONGRATULATIONS, MICHAEL. IF YOU'RE WATCHING VERY PROUD OF WHAT YOU DO.

MADAM PRESIDENT, COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS MORNING. MISS MARY, WE WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CHAMPIONING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT HAS BEEN OUR PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH YOU AND ESPECIALLY CINDY AND LINDA ON THIS EFFORT, ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, THE MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY WAS CHOSEN ON ONE OF THREE HOUSING AUTHORITIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HUD'S DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM. AT THAT TIME, WE WERE ESSENTIALLY WE, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONIES, BUT WE CHOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. SO HUD ACTUALLY STEPPED UP AND SAID, WE'LL HELP FUND IT. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SOME GAP FUNDING.

WE HAD A DEVELOPER COME ALONG, AND SO WE SORT STARTED OUT LOOKING FOR FUNDS TO HELP FILL THAT GAP. THE FIRST STOP WAS MCDC, MISS CINDY WAS A GREAT MENTOR, A GREAT ADVOCATE, AND THE DEN CHAIR AT THAT TIME WAS OUR MAYOR. MR. FULLER. AND HE STEPPED UP AND SAID, I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE THE CITY. SO THE FIRST INVESTMENT WE HAD IN THE NEWSOME HOMES PROJECT WAS WITH THAT BOARD HERE. TEN YEARS LATER, WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN A GREAT SUPPORT ALL ALONG THE WAY OVER THE PAST YEAR, OUR HUD DEPARTMENT HAS KIND OF BEEN THE ONE LAGGING BEHIND. BUT ON MONDAY AT 5:40 P.M, THEY SENT OUR FINAL APPROVAL AND SO TO CULMINATE YOUR LEAVING MISS MARY, WE HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE A GOOD FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR YOU. THEY'VE ACTUALLY APPROVED OUR ABILITY TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD. SO THE EXTENSION REQUEST WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY IS JUST AN ADMINISTRATIVE REQUEST FOR US TO FINISH OUT OUR CLOSING. YOU GUYS HAD A MAY 31ST DEADLINE, AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON THOSE FUNDS AT ALL.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SAY THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS, WITH THIS CLOSEOUT, WE'LL GO FROM 201 PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS TO 412, I HOPE THAT RETURN ON YOUR

[00:45:05]

INVESTMENT, IT SEEMS, PROFITABLE TO YOU. WE WANT TO APPRECIATE THE MAYOR FOR HIS SUPPORT AND ALL THE CITY STAFF. THANK YOU GUYS SO VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE THAT. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING THIS PROJECT TO A CLOSE AND REMOVE ALL 1950S PUBLIC HOUSING IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. SO THIS IS A MOTION THAT WE WILL BE VOTING AND WE CAN HAVE ANY DISCUSSION. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS TO MISS MILLER? I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M I'M THRILLED TO HEAR THAT IT'S GOTTEN TO THIS POINT. AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF HOMES. AND IT'S JUST A YEAH, IT'S A FEEL GOOD. IT'S A FEEL GOOD MOMENT. I KNOW IT IS FOR YOU, BUT I KNOW IT IS FOR US.

WHEN WE KNOW THAT WE WHERE WE PUT OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR FUNDING IS REALLY GOING TO HELP PEOPLE.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE. THANK YOU MA'AM, I JUST LIKE TO SAY HOW EXCITED I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY KNOWING, SOME OF YOUR HARD WORK, YOUR INVESTMENT, SOME OF YOUR BACKGROUND, SOME OF YOUR TESTIMONY. SO THIS IS REALLY A WIN. YES. SO I'M EXCITED TO HEAR AND APPRECIATIVE OF YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE IT. SO AT THIS TIME, CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR THE EXTENSION ON A DATE NO LATER THAN JULY 31ST OF 2024? SO MOVED MOVED BY MARY, SECOND, SECOND? OH, I DON'T KNOW . BY JOY.

CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON PROJECT GRANT APPLICATION FOR B 20 4-02 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,677,000 AND 30 CENT FOR THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF EASTSIDE AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. 1508 INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD, MCKINNEY, TEXAS. 75 069. OKAY CAN I GET A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A OKAY. LET ME GO BACK. SO CAN I HAVE ANY? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? IS THAT DISCUSSION OKAY? CAN I GET THE MOTION NOW, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. MADAM CHAIR, TO APPROVE THIS GRANT IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT REQUESTED WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE FUNDING COME OUT OF OUR FUND BALANCE, RATHER THAN OUR PROJECT GRANT LINE ITEM BUDGET, THE REASON FOR THAT IS THREEFOLD, ONE TO PRESERVE FUNDING IN OUR PROJECT GRANT LINE FOR OTHER PROJECTS. AND BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FUNDING IN OUR FUND BALANCE WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO COVER IT, ALSO TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE WILL BE NO OTHER THERE, WILL THERE WILL BE NO IMPACTS ON ANY OTHER PROPOSED NOTIONAL OR FUTURE POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT MAY COME TO US AT ANY POINT AND ALSO, TO GIVE COUNCIL AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE THAT WHICH THEY WILL HAVE TO DO IF IT COMES OUT OF FUND BALANCE, THEREBY DEMONSTRATING OUR SHARED AND JOINT COMMITMENT TO THE AIRPORT AMONGST ALL OF OUR BOARDS IN MCKINNEY. SO THAT'S MY MOTION. SO THE HIS MOTION IS FOR THE FUNDS NOT TO COME OUT OF PROJECT GRANT, BUT TO COME OUT OF FUND BALANCE. THERE HAS TO BE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY DAVID ROACH. MAY I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE THREE REASONS GIVEN WHAT WAS YOUR SECOND? I'M NOT SURE I'M CLEAR ON THE SECOND REASON ABOUT, OTHER PROJECTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY COME. SO THERE HAVE BEEN COMMENTS MADE IN THE PAST THAT THIS BOARD WORKING ON AIRPORT PROJECTS WILL IMPACT ARTS PROJECTS OR OTHER THINGS THAT WE FUND BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM THIS BOARD,

[00:50:04]

TO DO THOSE THINGS. AND BY TAKING IT OUT OF FUND BALANCE, THERE IS NO IMPACT TO ANY BUDGETED ITEM FOR ANY OTHER POTENTIAL THING THAT WE MAY WANT TO DO. IT JUST COMES OUT OF UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SO THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS TO HAVE THE FUNDS TO APPROVE THE ITEM WITH THE FUNDS COMING FROM FUND BALANCE AND NOT FROM THE PROJECT GRANT LINE ITEM . NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. CAN I GET I GUESS WHAT DO WE GOT ENOUGH TO COVER BECAUSE WHAT IF OTHER THINGS COME THAT NEED TO COME OUT OF FUND BALANCE? WE HAVE, APPROXIMATELY 38 MILLION IN UNRESTRICTED FUNDS CURRENTLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THAT'S THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT TO MAKE, YES. I GENERALLY SAID, THAT WE HAVE PLENTY IN FUND BALANCE. 38 MILLION IS ABSOLUTELY PLENTY TO COVER ANY UNFORESEEN EXPENSES. SO. YEAH.

OKAY. JUST ONE MORE CLARIFYING QUESTION THEN. SO IF I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN PRECEDENT FOR THIS KIND OF MOVEMENT OF AN APPLICATION FOR A PROJECT GRANT TO BE SHIFTED TO FUND BALANCE, IF WE AGREE TO THIS, WE SET A PRECEDENT. IF ONE DOESN'T EXIST, WHAT ARE OUR CRITERIA OR PRINCIPLES AROUND DOING THAT IN THE FUTURE? SO NEXT CYCLE ANOTHER GRANT COMES AND WE SAY, WELL, WE WANT TO TAKE IT FROM PROJECT GRANTS AND, MOVE IT INTO THIS CATEGORY NOW OF A FUND BALANCE DEPLETION. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER MORE FULSOMELY WE HAVE DONE IT IN THE PAST, FREQUENTLY IT HAS BEEN IN CONNECTION WITH LARGE PROJECTS, LARGE AMOUNTS LIKE THIS ONE, THAT EXCEEDED THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS IN A PARTICULAR PROJECT CATEGORY, WHETHER IT WAS DISCRETIONARY OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR, FUTURE FUNDING. SO YES, WE HAVE DONE IT IN THE PAST AND WILL REQUIRE A BUDGET AMENDMENT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL GO TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW VOTE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. NEXT
