THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU. KERRY LUND LANKFORD. OKAY HI. I'M THE MANAGER OF TRADE DAYS ON UNIVERSITY. AND, JUST WANTED TO TALK FOR A SECOND ABOUT A FEW THINGS. SO WE WOULD LIKE FOR THAT MARKET TO STAY A MARKET. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO GO ABOUT DOING THAT INSTEAD OF BEING ANOTHER STRIP MALL, IN 2012, I BECAME A SINGLE MOM WITH INCOME FROM A FULL TIME JOB. SO I RENTED A SPACE AT THIRD MONDAY AND WAS ABLE TO SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME AND PROVIDE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND THE REST OF OUR FAMILY. AS A CURRENT MANAGER, EVERY VENDOR HAS A STORY AS TO WHY THEY ARE A VENDOR. SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME, NEW BUSINESS, SINGLE PARENT, SECONDARY INCOME, MAIN INCOME OR HOBBY, OR JUST THE CAMARADERIE. THE HISTORIC ROOTS OF THE THIRD MONDAY GROUND SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES AS MANY THAT CAME BEFORE US LEFT THEIR INDELIBLE MARK BEHIND. WE ARE A FAMILY. THIS MARKET NEEDS TO BE A HISTORICAL PLACE. MARKER FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WE WANT TO KEEP IT UNIQUE BY NATURE. THIS IS PART OF THAT. I'VE HAD A LOT OF 30 YEAR OLDS TELL ME THIS IS ALL THAT'S LEFT OF THE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY. THERE'S A LOT OF VENDORS OUT THERE THAT WANT THAT. I HAVE OVER 600 SIGNATURES THAT WE GOT ON SUNDAY ONLY FROM CUSTOMERS. THERE'S A LOT MORE. THAT'S JUST FROM SUNDAY ON A VERY SLOW SUNDAY HOT AFTERNOON, WE DECIDED TO GET UP SOME SIGNATURES AND WE GOT THAT. SO THERE'S MANY, MANY MORE. WE JUST WANT IT TO BE CONSIDERED AND THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY. LINDA PULLEN HAS ALL THE HISTORY.
BUCKNER CEMETERY, THE INDIANS. PRETTY SURE THERE'S SOME INDIAN BURIAL GROUNDS OUT THERE AND LOTS OF ARTIFACTS ON THE LAND. THERE'S BLUE HERON. THEY'RE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES. THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DISTURBED. WE CAN'T DISTURB THE MIGRATION PATTERN OF THEM. THEY NEST ON THE CREEK RIGHT THERE BETWEEN BAKER AND CAMACHO. AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW OF THEM. WE'VE SEEN EAGLES. THERE'S BOBCATS, THERE'S SQUIRRELS. THERE'S LOTS OF RABBITS, LOTS OF NATURE OUT THERE, LOTS OF WILDLIFE, INDIAN TREES, BIRTHING TREES, ALL KINDS OF HISTORY. WE JUST DON'T WANT THAT PARTICULAR AREA IN THE FLOODPLAIN TO JUST BECOME ANOTHER CEMENT PILE. AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE. AND THERE'S OTHER VENDORS THAT WANT TO SPEAK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, LINDA. LINDA HELEN, MAYBE I'M SORRY IF I CAN'T READ THE HANDWRITING, BUT I BELIEVE IT SAYS LINDA TELON OR TELON. GOOD EVENING, I'M A VENDOR. I HAVE THE TEXAS FRONTIER TRADING
[00:15:07]
POST, AT THIRD MONDAY TRADE DAYS. I'M ALSO AN ANTHROPOLOGIST. AND, PROJECT DEVELOPER FOR THE PENATEKA COMANCHE TRAILS. NEXT YEAR WE WILL BEGIN OPENING COMANCHE HISTORIC TRAILS ACROSS TEXAS, WITH THE COOPERATION AND ASSISTANCE OF OUR PARTNERS, THE COMANCHE NATION. THE REASON I PUT A TRADING POST HERE IS IT'S INTENDED TO BE A DESTINATION, ON THOSE TRAILS, SHORTLY AFTER I CAME, THE BULLDOZERS STARTED ARRIVING AT BOTH SIDES. I DO, FOR THE REASON I DO TOURISM PROJECTS AS AN ANTHROPOLOGIST IS BECAUSE I DISCOVERED VERY EARLY ON IN HISTORIC RESEARCH THAT IF YOU DON'T FIND AN ECONOMIC REASON TO PRESERVE SIGNIFICANT HISTORIC SITES AND LANDSCAPES, SOMEONE WILL SURELY FIND A REASON TO DESTROY THEM. AND SO IT STAYS. OUR VIEW AND WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MANY PEOPLE IS THAT ISN'T GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TO SAVE TRADE DAYS. AND THEN THEY GIVE A VARIETY OF REASONS, LIKE YOU HAVE A ZONING OVERLAY FOR COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS OR SOMETHING DARN CLOSE TO SACRED. I'VE HEARD IT ALL FROM DEVELOPERS ALL OVER THE STATE, AND I UNDERSTAND IT. OCCASIONALLY WE WIN ONE ANYHOW, SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOU IMPOSSIBLE. THESE ARE WITH QUESTION MARKS, THE IMPOSSIBLES TO PROTECT WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HISTORIC SITE IN COLLIN COUNTY.IMPOSSIBLE TO PROTECT A HISTORIC TRADING GROUND THAT WAS FIRST USED FOR THIS PURPOSE BY THE SETTLERS OF BUCKNER. THE FIRST COLLIN COUNTY FRONTIER SETTLEMENT, AND THE KIOWA AND COMANCHE INDIANS. ALMOST 300 YEARS AGO. IMPOSSIBLE TO PROTECT A TRADING GROUND WHICH ALREADY HAS A CONTINUING USE DESIGNATIO, IMPOSSIBLE TO INVITE THE KIOWA AND COMANCHE NATIONS BACK TO TRADE IN BUCKNER AND COMMUNITY AND IN MCKINNEY. THAT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. I'M GOING TO BE MEETING WITH THE TRIBAL CHAIRMAN OF THE COMANCHE NATION NEXT MONDAY TO DISCUSS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN TEXAS, AND THIS IS ON THEIR TRAILS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY ONES. BUT I CAN'T PROMOTE THAT WITH THEM. IF YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY IT FOR SHOPPING, STRIP, IMPOSSIBLE TO PRESERVE THIS TRADING GROUND AND GET IT ADDED TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AS A HISTORIC LANDMARK WITH KIOWA AND COMANCHE TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTIES, WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE A SYSTEM WHERE WE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMANCHE NATION. THEY COME AND LOOK AT PROPERTIES, AND IF THEY CLAIM IT AS A TRADITIONAL PROPERTY, THEY WILL GIVE US A PROCLAMATION TO CLOSE, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A RAPIDLY GROWING NUMBER OF STAKEHOLDERS DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. WE'RE HERE TO ASK YOU, THE ELECTED CITY LEADERS, TO HELP US IDENTIFY A STRATEGY TO PRESERVE THIS PRICELESS HISTORIC SITE, WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO OPEN YOUR IMAGINATIONS, YOUR MINDS, YOUR HEART, AND YOUR CREATIVITY TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. THANK YOU. PAGE. ORIGINALLY, I CAN JULIE AND JULIE DID ALL MY LIFE. OKAY EXCUSE ME IF I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. I HAVEN'T DONE THIS SINCE MY MEDICAL SCHOOL, SO. GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND FELLOW RESIDENTS OF MCKINNEY. I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY TO SHED LIGHT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF AND TO ADVOCATE FOR THE PRESERVATION AND FUTURE SUPPORT OF THE MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS, THIS IS THIS CHERISHED TRADITION HOLDS SIGNIFICANT VALUE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE AND WE COME TOGETHER TO PRESERVE THIS TREASURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. DID YOU KNOW THAT OUR TRADE DAYS IS FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN CANTON? FIRST MONDAY TRADE DAYS. THEY JUST CELEBRATED 150 YEARS LAST OCTOBER, THIS MARKET HAS A RICH HISTORY THAT DATES BACK TO THE LATE 1800S, I BELIEVE 1870S. IT SERVES AS A CULTURAL LANDMARK IN OUR CITY, BRINGING TOGETHER VENDORS, ARTISANS, CRAFTSMEN AND SMALL BUT GROWING BUSINESSES, ALONG WITH VISITORS FROM NEAR AND FAR.
BY SUPPORTING THIS EVENT, SUPPORTING OUR TRADE DAYS, WE'RE NOT JUST PRESERVING A LOCAL MARKET, BUT ALSO SAFEGUARDING THE RICH TAPESTRY OF OUR LOCAL HISTORICAL CULTURE. DID YOU KNOW THAT FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH DESIGNATED MCKINNEY A PRESERVE AMERICA CITY BACK IN 2006? WE'RE
[00:20:04]
NOT JUST PRESERVING A MARKET. WE WOULD BE UPHOLDING A PIECE OF OUR HERITAGE AND TRADITION. THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED. THIS EVENT PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES TO SHOWCASE THEIR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, STIMULATING ECONOMIC GROWTH WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY BY SAVING MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS, WE ARE INVESTING IN THE PROSPERITY OF OUR CITY, OUR COUNTY AND SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE THE BACKBONE OF OUR ECONOMY.IT ATTRACTS VISITORS FROM NEAR AND FAR. SOME OF THE SIGNATURES WE GOT THE OTHER DAY WELL PROVE THAT IT WAS CRAZY, WE'RE NOT ONLY SUPPORTING THE VENDORS WHO RELY ON THIS PLATFORM, BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE OVERALL ECONOMIC VITALITY OF OUR COMMUNITY. OKAY, GOOD. THE UNIQUE MARKET OFFERS OFFERINGS, REFLECT THE CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY, MAKING IT A CULTURAL TREASURE THAT'S WORTH SAVING. MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS SERVES AS A GATHERING PLACE FOR RESIDENTS TO COME TOGETHER, SOCIALIZE, AND CELEBRATE WHAT MAKES OUR COMMUNITY UNIQUE. IT FOSTERS A SENSE OF UNITY AND CAMARADERIE AMONG NEIGHBORS AND CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEANINGFUL INTERACTIONS, SUPPORTING MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS IS NOT JUST ABOUT PRESERVING A MARKET, IT'S ABOUT NURTURING THE BONDS THAT TIE US TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY.
SUPPORTING THIS MARKET MEANS PRESERVING A SPACE WHERE FRIENDSHIPS ARE FORMED, STORIES ARE SHARED, AND MEMORIES ARE MADE. IT IS AN ESSENTIAL PILLAR OF OUR COMMUNITY FABRIC THAT DESERVES OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE DIVERSITY OF VENDORS AND GOODS AT MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS CONTRIBUTES TO THE CULTURAL ENRICHMENT OF OUR CITY, OF OUR COUNTY, FROM HANDMADE CRAFTS TO LOCAL PRODUCE. THIS EVENT SHOWCASES THE TALENTS AND CREATIVITY OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. BY SAVING MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS, WE ARE PROMOTING CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND APPRECIATION WITHIN OUR CITY. IN CONCLUSION, THE REASONS TO SAVE MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS ARE MANIFOLD. FROM PRESERVING LOCAL CULTURE TO BOOSTING THE ECONOMY AND FOSTERING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE TO ITS ECONOMIC IMPACT, COMMUNITY UNITY AND CULTURAL ENRICHMENT. AS WE LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE, LET US COMMIT OURSELVES TO ENSURING THAT THIS CHERISHED TRADITION CONTINUES TO THRIVE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU BECKY LINDSTROM ROSS. BECKY. LINDSTROM. ROSS. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MCKINNEY RESIDENTS, LIKE THE SEVERAL PEOPLE BEFORE ME, I AM HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT OF MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS. WE NEED TO PRESERVE THIS. IT'S LOCATED ON 380 HERE IN MCKINNEY. WE ALL KNOW THAT, THE MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS HOLDS MANY LEGACIES. IT'S RICH IN HISTORICAL LEGACY. IT'S RICH IN FAMILY LEGACY, AND IT'S RICH IN BUSINESS LEGACIES. HISTORICALLY THE MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS MARKET HAS SERVED IN SOME CAPACITY OR ANOTHER AS A TRADING GROUND FOR NEARLY 200 YEARS, AND IT'S CURRENTLY THE OLDEST TRADING MARKET IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. AS A FAMILY LEGACY, I'VE BEEN A VENDOR AT THIS MARKET SINCE 2018, AND I'VE PERSONALLY VISITED WITH NEARLY EVERY SINGLE MARKET AT LEAST ONE FAMILY, IF NOT SEVERAL, THAT HAVE UTILIZED THIS MARKET AS A DAY OF FAMILY FUN, OFTEN BRINGING MULTIPLE GENERATIONS TOGETHER FOR THE DAY. AS A BUSINESS LEGACY, THIS MARKET PROVIDES AN AVENUE FOR REVENUE, WHETHER IT BE SOLE REVENUE OR ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO MANY INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. SUPPORTING SOME VENDORS WHO'VE BEEN HERE FOR MULTIPLE DECADES.
I MYSELF, I WOULDN'T HAVE THE TWO BUSINESSES I HAVE IF IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FOR THIS MARKET. IN AN ERA OF THE RAPIDLY GROWING CONCRETE JUNGLE, WHAT WE ARE LOSING EVERY DAY AS MORE AND MORE LAND IS CONSUMED AND BUSINESSES ARE PLACED, IS IT IS A PLACE TO GATHER OUTSIDE OF OUR HOMES THAT APPEALS TO EVERYONE, YOUNG AND OLD, THAT ABOVE ALL ELSE IS AFFORDABLE. INFLATION'S CRAZY TODAY. IT COSTS $5 TO COME TO OUR MARKET FOR THE DAY, $5 FOR A CARLOAD MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS IS THIS PLACE. THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS MARKET WILL NOT ONLY REMOVE A NOTABLE PLACE IN HISTORY, IT WILL REMOVE AN AFFORDABLE PLACE FOR FAMILIES TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER, AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HUNDREDS OF VENDORS TO PROVIDE A LIVING FOR THEIR FAMILIES. MY HOPE IS THAT THE LEADERS OF THIS CITY WILL SEE THE VALUE OF THIS MARKET AND THE POSITIVE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT THEY WILL PARTNER WITH. MCKINNEY TRADE DAYS IN HELPING TO ELEVATE THE GROUNDS, ASSIST IN THE MARKETING OF OUR EVENTS AND HELP IT TO GROW, ULTIMATELY MAKING IT A TOURIST DESTINATION ON THE MAP THAT MANY FROM STATES AWAY WILL WANT TO VISIT AND SUPPORT. WE'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND AND WHAT THE CANTON MARKET HAS GROWN TO WITH THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE
[00:25:03]
MARKET INDIVIDUALS AND THE CITY AND THE LEGACY IT'S BECOME AS LEADERS IN THIS COMMUNITY. MY HOPE IS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE KNOWN FOR ADDING TO A LEGACY IN YOUR CITY, RATHER THAN JUST APPROVING THE BUILDING OF ANOTHER STRIP CENTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RYAN. RYAN HILL ME. YOU'RE A CLOSE IS COLONIA. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE. YEAH SO I'M A VENDOR AT, IN THE MALL MCKINNEY TRADE. WE MAKE CUSTOM WOOD ART.

IT'S ONLY ABOUT 0.18 ACRES IN SIZE. IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED BG, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR LEGACY ZONING DISTRICTS, WHICH AND TECHNICALLY ALLOWS FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS. YOU'LL NOTE IF YOU'VE SEEN THE PROPERTY, THAT IT HAS AN EXISTING SORT OF FACILITY ON IT OR WAREHOUSE STYLE FACILITY ON IT, THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE THE BUILDING OVER THE YEARS UNDER THAT BG ZONING. HOWEVER, THEY DO HAVE A NEW TENANT THAT THEY'D LIKE TO MOVE IN THAT WOULD NEED TO BE UNDER THAT NEW ZONING DESIGNATION TO ALLOW FOR THE USE OF SMALL WAREHOUSE OPERATION.

ALL RIGHT, OKAY, SO AS YOU READ, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED C2, LOCAL COMMERCIAL, AND IT REQUIRES THAT SUP BE CONSIDERED BY THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL FOR DEVELOPMENT HERE. SO IN LOOKING AT THE TRACT TO THE WEST, THERE IS AN EXISTING MEMORY CARE FACILITY.THERE IS THE DISCOVERY MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEX TO THE NORTH, AND A LOT OF FLOODPLAIN AND A PROPERTY THAT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE A CITY OWNED LINEAR PARK TO THE EAST.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH. WHEN REVIEWING SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUESTS, STAFF IS ASKED TO LOOK AT HOW CLOSELY THE PROPOSED SUP ALIGNS WITH THE TYPICAL STANDARDS FOR THAT PARTICULAR USE AND IF THERE IS ANY MAJOR DISRUPTIONS AT THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT, MIGHT CAUSE FOR THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS IN LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY, THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND THE PROPOSED REQUEST, STAFF IS COMFORTABLE THAT IT ALIGNS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN THE AREA AND WOULD ADD NEW HOUSING PRODUCT FOR PEOPLE AND BE ABLE TO AGE IN PLACE. SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE SU.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND PNC IS ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. MISS ARNOLD CAN YOU, EXPLAIN TO ME THE ELEVATED INDEPENDENT LIVING IN PARENTHESES IN THE ITEM? THAT'S JUST THAT WOULD BE THE NAME OF THE DEVELOPMENT. DEFINITELY BETTER THAN SUBTERRANEAN, JENNIFER, THE. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THIS LITTLE QUADRANT HERE IN THE LAST CALL. A MONTH OR TWO. AND SILVERADO IS A PRETTY NARROW ROAD. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, IT'S ALREADY BAKED, THAT WE'RE EXPANDING THAT TO FOUR LANES. IS THAT A FAIR JENNIFER QUESTION, OR SHOULD I BRING GARY GRAHAM UP? GARY SHAKING HIS HEAD. YES I WILL SAY YES. THANK YOU. PLEASE SIT DOWN, SIR. LET ME JUST CLARIFY THE CITY'S FUNDING, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE TO GET ACROSS THE FOUR LANES AS THESE PROPERTIES COME IN AND DEVELOP ALONG SILVERADO, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO BUILD THEIR HALF OF THE OF THE FOUR LANE ROADWAY. BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONNECT THE DOTS WITH, CONSTRUCTING THE BRIDGE. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE OKAY. BUT FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT USE THIS AS A METHOD TO GET TO CUSTER, AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM. YEAH YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE WAITING THERE A LOT. WE CAN LET THOSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, IT'S GOING TO COME A WIDER ROAD. YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH ALL RIGHT. WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE PRESENTATION? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.

[Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Authorizing the Sale of Approximately 2.815 Acres of Land Owned by the City of McKinney that is Designated as Parkland, Which Parkland is Generally Located on the North Side of CR 164 at Its Intersection with Taylor-Burk Drive, to the State of Texas for the Construction of Its Highway 380 Bypass Project; and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Deeds and Documents Regarding the Sale of Said City-Owned Parkland Property to the State of Texas (“TxDOT”)]
[00:40:13]
CONGRATULATIONS ON A CLEAN SWEE. ITEM 241772. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 2.815 ACRES OF LAND OWNED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THAT IS DESIGNATED AS PARKLAND. WHICH PARKLAND IS GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 164 AT ITS INTERSECTION WITH TAYLOR BURKE DRIVE TO THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ITS HIGHWAY 380 BYPASS PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE DEEDS AND DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE SALE OF SAID CITY OWNED PARKLAND PROPERTY TO THE STATE OF TEXAS. TEX. DOT THANK YOU. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS GARY GRAHAM, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SALE OF SOME LAND TO TXDOT FOR THE 380 BYPASS, THIS FIRST, GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU THE APPROVED ALIGNMENT FOR THE US 380 BYPASS. THE SEGMENT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IS ALONG E SEGMENT E UP THERE ON THE NORTH SIDE, THIS IS THE PARKLAND THAT IS, SUBJECT TO THIS SALE, YOU CAN SEE BLOOMDALE EAST WEST ON THE ROAD. TAYLOR BURKE COMING IN FROM THE SOUTH. IRWIN PARK OR IRWIN FARM SUBDIVISION ON THE SOUTH SIDE COUNTY ROAD ONE, 1006 ON THE WEST AND THEN IRWIN PARK PROPER ON THE EAST. SO AGAIN, 2.8 ACRES OF PROPERTY THAT WE'RE GOING TO SELL, SELL, TO THEM A REMAINDER OF 67 THAT WILL STILL REMAIN PARKLAND FOR FUTURE USE, IN ORDER TO SELL PARKLAND OR GRANT AN EASEMENT TO A CROSS PARKLAND, WE MUST FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN STATE LAW. CHAPTER 26 PROTECTION OF PUBLIC PARKS AND RECREATIONAL LANDS OF THE TEXAS LAND. OUR TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE CODE. SO I WANT TO READ THIS TO MAKE SURE I GET IT RIGHT, A MUNICIPALITY OF THE STATE MAY NOT APPROVE ANY PROGRAM OR PROJECT THAT REQUIRES THE USE OR TAKING OF ANY PUBLIC LAND DESIGNATED AND USED PRIOR TO THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE PROGRAM OR PROJECT AS A PARK, UNLESS THE MUNICIPALITY, ACTING THROUGH ITS DUTY, DULY AUTHORIZED GOVERNING BODY OR OFFICER, DEEMS THAT ONE THERE IS NO FEASIBLE AND PRUDENT ALTERNATIVE TO THE USE OR TAKING OF THE SUCH LAND AND TWO THE PROGRAM OR PROJECT INCLUDES ALL REASONABLE PLANNING TO MINIMIZE HARM TO THE LAND. AS A PARK RESULTING FROM THE USE OR TAKING A FINDING MAY NOT, OR MAY ONLY BE A FINDING MAY BE MADE ONLY AFTER A NOTICE OF A HEARING, AS REQUIRED BY THIS CHAPTER. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TONIGHT. THIS PUBLIC HEARING. SO LET ME WALK YOU QUICKLY THROUGH, THE, WHAT TXDOT DID TO KIND OF DETERMINE THERE WAS NO FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE. SO STARTING BACK IN THE 27, 2017 TIME FRAME, TEXTED TXDOT, DID THEIR FEASIBILITY STUDY. THEY THREW ALL THESE ALIGNMENTS OUT THERE. THE SPAGHETTI MAP OF DIFFERENT ALIGNMENTS, AND LOOKED AT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. HOW COULD THEY MAKE THIS CONNECTION, AND, YOU KNOW, LOOKED AT EXISTING 380 VARIATIONS SOUTH AND NORTH OF, OF 380 THAT EVOLVED TO THE SPRING OF 2018. THEY KIND OF STARTED TO REFINE IT, REFINE IT, AND LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF WORK THEY WERE DOING. AND STILL LOOKING AT ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL WILDLIFE, ALL THE NEPA DOCUMENTS THEY NEED TO DO, FALL 2018 STARTED TO LIMIT TO THIS, WHERE WE, YOU KNOW, HAD THE LAST FEW SELECTIONS. AND THEN THIS IS THE FINAL ALIGNMENT THAT THEY SELECTED, SO WHEN, WHEN WE WHEN WE STARTED THE PROJECT, THIS PART PARCEL WAS JUST BEING CONTEMPLATED FOR A PARK HADN'T BEEN PURCHASED. THEY ACTUALLY WERE WORKING TO AVOID IRWIN PARK PROPER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AND THEN WE PURCHASED THIS PARK LAND. SO, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS TO SELL IT.I THINK TXDOT DID A REALLY ADMIRABLE JOB TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO THE PARK WITH STAFF.
WE WORKED ON ON THE SCHEMATIC TO MINIMIZE ANY TAKINGS TO THIS LAND ONCE THEY KNEW IT WAS PARKLAND, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE IT AN EFFECTIVE ROUTE, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS WAS THE BEST ROUTE FOR THEM TO CHOOSE OUT OF ALL THOSE DIFFERENT ONES THEY SELECTED. SO, WITH THAT, I'M ABLE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR WE CAN HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY QUESTIONS FOR GARY? YEAH. GARY SO BASICALLY, THIS ROUTE WAS CHOSEN TO PROTECT IRWIN PARK. AND IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN IRWIN PARK AND THIS PARKLAND DEDICATED, THAT HASN'T REALLY MANIFESTED ANYTHING YET. I'D CERTAINLY CHOOSE THIS. I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT. THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, MY UNDERSTANDING HAS BEEN AND I REALIZE THIS IS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY THAT'S BUYING THIS FROM US, IS THAT IF WE WERE TO SELL DEDICATED PARKLAND, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A VOTER REFERENDUM, NOW, THAT MAY BE OUT OF YOUR PAY GRADE ON THIS, OR I MAY JUST BE DEAD WRONG ON THAT IS, WHERE DOES THAT FIT IN WITH US SELLING THIS WITHOUT A VOTER REFERENDUM? UNLESS IT MEETS THAT CRITERIA? YEAH, EXACTLY. WELL, WE HAD A LAWYER. STATE LAW. YEAH. GO AHEAD. IF THE CITY, ELECTED OR CHOSE TO SELL A PIECE OF PROPERTY, IT WANTED TO SELL. THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT YOU MUST USE FOR PARKS. THIS IS ANOTHER ENTITY IN THIS ANOTHER ENTITY WITH CONDEMNATION, AUTHORITY, WANTING TO PURCHASE. THIS GIVES
[00:45:01]
YOU THE STATUTE, GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO DO THAT. BUT IT MUST YOU MUST PROTECT THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC BY GOING THROUGH THESE STEPS. IS IT THE MOST FEASIBLE ROUTE OR OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO GET PAID PROPERLY, BUT THE LEAST DAMAGE TO THE PARK, WHICH GARY WILL REPRESENT, THAT IT IS. OKAY, ANOTHER QUESTION THEN IS THE IF WE SAID NO, DOES THAT JEOPARDIZE THE 380 BYPASS OR MIGHT THEY PERFORM SOME KIND OF EMINENT DOMAIN ON US? THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY MAKE US DO IT TO THE SECOND QUESTION, YES, THEY WOULD BRING AN EMINENT DOMAIN ACTION.OKAY, TO THE FIRST QUESTION, I'LL LET MR. GRAHAM. OKAY I WOULD ACTUALLY REFER BACK TO THE ATTORNEY AND ASK THEM WHAT THEIR WHAT TEXAS LEGAL ACTION WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, WOULD IT JEOPARDIZE THE PROJECT I THINK IS WHAT HE'S WELL, I MEAN, THEY WOULD FIND A WAY TO GET THIS LAND RIGHT. SO, YOU KNOW, FROM MY THINKING AND I'LL BE QUIET AFTER THIS, MR. MAYOR. AND ANYONE ELSE CAN ASK. BUT, YOU KNOW, EMINENT DOMAIN INCLUDES A LOT OF LAWYER FEES THAT GET WOUND UP GOING ON THE BURDEN OF THE TAXPAYER. AND I'VE GOT NO APPETITE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT.
AND, AND JUST HAVE THIS THING LITIGATED. SO. AND WE NEED THE BYPASS. YEAH. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, COUNCIL MEMBER CLOUTIER ON IRWIN PARK TO THE EAST OF HERE. WE DID ANOTHER EASEMENT AS WELL UNDER THE SAME PROCESS. SO THERE IS ANOTHER EASEMENT THAT WAS TAKEN ALONG IRWIN PARK TO THE EAST OF HERE. SO THAT PLANNING WAS KIND OF ALREADY MOVING. THIS WAY. THANK YOU. I HAD A QUICK I HAD A QUICK QUESTION, NOT REALLY ABOUT THE SALE, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PLAN. ARE THEY PLANNING TO DEPRESS THOSE LANES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE PARK? NO, THE THOSE WILL NOT BE DEPRESSED. THE NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE DEPRESSION OF THAT. OKAY DON'T WORRY RICK, THE PARK GOERS WILL BE PLENTY DEPRESSED. YEAH ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. GARY THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. ENTERTAIN A MOTION. GARY, IF YOU WANT TO STAND UP, I'M GOING TO CALL THEM OUT OF ORDER. JUST SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO CORRECT THEM. I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND, RIVIERA FOR THE ITEM. SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. WE'RE GOING TO
[Consider/Discuss/Act on Adoption of a Resolution Determining a Public Necessity to Acquire Property Easement Rights for Public Use by Eminent Domain for a Water Line Easement and a Temporary Construction Easement associated with the Independence Parkway 24 Inch Water Line Project (WA0210) which Property is Located on US 380/W. University Drive, West of Custer Road and Authorizing the City Manager to Establish Procedures for Acquiring the Easements on Said Property, and Take All Steps Necessary to Acquire the Needed Property Rights in Compliance with all Applicable Laws and Resolutions]
SKIP RIGHT NOW TO 241775. CONSIDERING ACT ON ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE PUBLIC NECESSITY TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY EASEMENT RIGHTS FOR PUBLIC USE BY EMINENT DOMAIN FOR WATERLINE EASEMENT AND TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY.24 INCH WATERLINE PROJECT WA0210. WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON US 380 UNIVERSITY DRIVE WEST, CUSTER AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR ACQUIRING THE EASEMENTS ON SAID PROPERTY AND TAKE ALL STEPS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE THE NEEDED PROPERTY RIGHTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND RESOLUTIONS. THANK YOU. MAYOR GARY GRAHAM, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON AN EMINENT DOMAIN REQUEST, THIS IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 24 INCH WATER LINE, TO HELP SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST OF INDEPENDENCE, AND THAT THAT ARE, THAT PLANNING AREA OUT THERE.
SO, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS PROPERTY OWNER. WE ACTUALLY CAME WITH THIS DESIGN. THEY ACTUALLY REQUESTED THAT WE REDESIGN IT AND MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. WE DID. THEY HAVE NOW BROUGHT IN NEW REPRESENTATION AND ASKED US TO MOVE IT BACK TO ANOTHER LOCATION. AND THEY'RE NOT COOPERATING WITH US. SO WE ARE ASKING TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD, THE COUNCIL SUPPORT ON EMINENT DOMAIN. BUT IN ALL EMINENT DOMAIN CASES, THIS IS, NOT NECESSARILY A TAKING, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING, A PROCESS TO DETERMINE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY, AS IN ALL CASES, WE ALWAYS GET A APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY TO DETERMINE EITHER THE ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF WAY OR THE EASEMENT, IN THIS CASE, EASEMENT. WHAT THE VALUE OF THAT LAND IS. WE USE THAT TO MAKE THE FIRST INITIAL OFFER, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN TAKE THAT PROPERTY OFFER AND ACCEPT IT, OR THEY CAN REJECT IT AND MAKE A COUNTEROFFER. THEY CAN DO THEIR OWN APPRAISAL TO SUPPORT THAT. WE TAKE THAT INFORMATION. WE USE IT TO MAKE A FINAL OFFER AND NEGOTIATE WITH THEM. IT GOES THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS. THEY CAN REJECT OR NEGOTIATE WITH US. IN THIS CASE, THEY'VE CHOSEN NOT TO NEGOTIATE WITH US. AND SO WE'RE ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN, WHEN WE INVOKE EMINENT DOMAIN, THE COLLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ELECT A OR SET A SELECTED GROUP OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS, TO THREE, USUALLY THREE PEOPLE THAT WILL HEAR THE CASE, THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE CITY EACH MAKE THEIR CASE TO THE BOARD. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DEFINE WHAT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS FOR THE PROPERTY.
[00:50:01]
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A TAKING. THIS IS A PROCESS TO DETERMINE WHAT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF A PROPERTY IS, FOR THE PROPERTY NEEDED FOR PUBLIC USE. SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FOR GARY. GARY. SO WHAT WERE THE NEGOTIATING TO MOVE I MEAN IT'S A IT'S A VERTICAL LINE HERE. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NORTHERN PART OR THE PART THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEAR THE HOUSE OR. YEAH. SO THEY ORIGINALLY THEY DIDN'T WANT US TO GO UNDERNEATH THE DRIVEWAY THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE HOUSE WHERE THE BLUE LINE IS. THE VERTICAL. SO THEY ASKED US TO REDESIGN AND BRING IT UP LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY FUTURE INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY WILL BE AT SOME POINT EXTENDED TO THE NORTH WHEN THERE'S A DEMAND. AND SO IT WILL BE APPROXIMATE THAT ALIGNMENT. SO THEY ASKED US TO MOVE IT TO THAT ALIGNMENT. SO WE DID WE YOU KNOW, WE WORKED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER OKAY. YEP. THIS IS THAT'S FAIR. AND THEN NOW THEY'VE COME BACK AND SAID NO, GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL DESIGN BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT REPRESENTATION. BUT THE PREFERENCE OF THE CITY IS THIS ALIGNMENT HERE. I MEAN WE COULD WORK WITH EITHER ALIGNMENT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE LEAST IMPACT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND BE GOOD, GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THEM BECAUSE THIS IS GOING ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY.WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE'LL BUILD THE ROAD. SO WE WOULD HAVE WORKED WITH EITHER ONE, BUT NOW THAT WE'VE MOVED BACK, WE'RE TRYING TO BE ACCOMMODATING, RESPECTFUL OF THAT. AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT IS THIS STRUCTURE BACK HERE. IS THAT LIKE A SHED OR IS THAT LIKE IT'S A SHED BARN TYPE THING? SO OKAY. AND IS THAT ON. IT JUST SEEMS ODD TO GO STRAIGHT ACROSS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD DISRUPT THE PROPERTY MUCH MORE. THIS CURRENT ALIGNMENT THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING TODAY AS OPPOSED TO GOING THAT WAY. BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WANTS. THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. YES. OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. ENTERTAIN A MOTION, SIR. I MOVE THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THIS ITEM AS WRITTEN AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION DESCRIBED IN THIS AGENDA ITEM AND AUTHORIZE USE OF THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE, FOR PUBLIC USE, ALL NECESSARY PROPERTY INTERESTS FROM MCKINNEY, PROPCO, OWNER, LLC, IDENTIFIED AS OWNER OF RECORD BY THE COLLIN CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND ANY OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES CLAIMING AN INTEREST TO THE PROPERTY DEPICTED ON AND DESCRIBED BY METES AND BOUNDS ATTACHED TO SAID RESOLUTION, SAID DEPICTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS BEING INCORPORATED IN THEIR ENTIRETY INTO THIS MOTION FOR ALL PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE CONSTRUCTION, ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF SOUTH MCDONALD STREET, NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF SPUR 399 AND MEDICAL CENTER DRIVE, ASSOCIATED WITH THE S.H.

4TH OF JULY THAT WE JUST HAD THIS CELEBRATION, THIS PARADE, MY KIDS ARE GETTING OLDER, SO THEY'RE THEY'RE ENJOYING, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE KIND OF UNDERSTANDING THAT, YOU KNOW, HOW, YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY PRIVILEGED. THEY ARE TO GET ON THE BACK OF A FLOAT EVERY YEAR.SO THIS WAS BECOMING ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE EVENTS OF THE YEAR. I HAD A WHICH WAS A GREAT EVENT. I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO, TO ATTEND ME AND, WE HAD AN EDC MEMBER, MICHAEL TALLY, HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO ATTEND A LISTENING CIRCLES AND, WITH PROSPER ISD, WHERE WE, PROSPER ISD INVITED ALL CITY OFFICIALS THAT HAVE, CHILDREN OR, AND OR, YOU KNOW, LIVE IN THAT, IN THE ISD AREA.
AND SO WE HAD, CITY OFFICIALS FROM ALL OVER, I MEAN, FRISCO, SALINA, OBVIOUSLY. MCKINNEY, TO ATTEND LISTENING CIRCLES. AND WE DISCUSSED TOPICS OF SCHOOL AND, YOU KNOW, FROM IT'S RANGED FROM EVERYTHING FROM FROM SCHOOL FUNDING TO HOW, YOU KNOW, PROSPER ISD SHOULD OPERATE GOING FORWARD. AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. AND I WAS AND I THANK THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR INVITING US.
AND I THINK IT'S AN EVENT THAT WE SHOULD, EVEN EXPLORE HERE WITH THE MCKINNEY ISD. IT WAS VERY I THINK IT WAS SUCCESSFUL AND IT WAS A VERY INFORMATIVE. I ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT OUR 4TH OF JULY PARADE. ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GETTING BIGGER EVERY YEAR. RED, WHITE AND BOOM WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT. GREAT ENTERTAINMENT, AN INCREDIBLE CROWD. SO THE WORD IS GETTING OUT ABOUT HOW WELL MCKINNEY DOES WITH WITH THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION. AND WE'RE GETTING VISITORS FROM EVERYWHERE. SO IT WAS JUST GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE OUT THAT NIGHT, WANTED TO THANK THE MCDC BOARD. THEY MET LAST WEEK TO HAVE THEIR STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION, AND THE FOLKS ON THOSE BOARDS. Y'ALL, YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS, BUT THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME. THEY DEDICATE A LOT OF THEIR TIME TO THE CITY. THEY ATTEND SO MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS, BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY VERY STRATEGIC IN HOW THEY HELP US PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS CITY. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME COMMITMENT AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CITY AND SERVING THE RESIDENTS HERE. LASTLY, LAST WEEK, THE MAYOR AND I AND STAFF MET WITH A GROUP WHO WAS HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN COLLIN COUNTY.
AND MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW THIS ALREADY, BUT WE ARE VERY OVERPOPULATED THERE AT 200% OF REALLY WHAT THEIR CAPACITY IS SUPPOSED TO BE. AND THAT GROUP HAS BEEN FIGHTING TO GET FUNDING TO EXPAND THEIR FACILITIES, AND THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. AT THAT MEETING, WE MET MARLA FIELDS, WHO IS A HAS BEEN A BIG ADVOCATE FOR DECADES AND WAS A RESIDENT OF FRISCO FOR A LONG TIME AND REALLY ADVOCATED WELL THERE AND AT THE END OF OUR SESSION, SHE ACTUALLY STOPPED ME IN JUST IN THE STAIRWELL HERE, AND WE HAD A VERY SHORT CONVERSATION. WONDERFUL LADY.
SHE PASSED AWAY IN HER SLEEP THAT NIGHT AND IT'S A HUGE LOSS TO THE COMMUNITY. I MEAN, I JUST MET HER THAT DAY AND SHE WAS JUST A SWEET, SWEET SOUL. BUT AS I'M SEEING THE OUTPOURING, OVER HER LOSS, I SEE THE IMPACT THAT SHE'S HAD. SO I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HER AND TELL HER THANK YOU FOR HER CONTRIBUTION. NOT JUST TO MCKINNEY, BUT TO COLLIN COUNTY. AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO COMMEND STAFF ON THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION, THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB, MADE IT WHERE IT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT, A SAFE EVENT. EVERYBODY HAD A GREAT TIME, WE RAN OUT OF CANDY AGAIN.
I KEEP BUYING MORE EVERY YEAR, BUT IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. MORE KIDS SHOW UP. THAT'S ALL I HAD. WE, WE GO THROUGH OUR SCHEDULES, AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOCKED BETWEEN THE EYES. AND THAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST SATURDAY. I WENT TO THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE 100TH HOME OF OUR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. AND WE HAVE THE GREAT JOHN BOBOLICE RIGHT HERE WHO WORKS FOR HIM. YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND, JOHN, SAY, NEED TO SEE YOU AFTERWARD, BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO SINGLE MOTHERS THAT I ENCOUNTERED THAT DAY, ONE IS A WOMAN NAMED MARION. SHE HAS THREE CHILDREN. SHE IS A. SHE WAS IN THE MILITARY, IN THE NAVY SEVEN YEARS. WORKS AS A NURSE'S AIDE. IS TRYING TO GET HER, REGISTERED NURSE DEGREE. SHE WORKS. SHE HAS THREE CHILDREN.
SINGLE MOM. HER. SHE WAS LIVING IN HER SUV WITH HER THREE KIDS. SHE THEN HAD HER MOTHER, WHO HAD DEMENTIA, AND HER SISTER, WHO'S DOWN SYNDROME AND DISABLED, MOVE IN WITH HER. AND THEY WERE IN MOTEL ROOMS FOR MONTHS UNTIL SHE GOT THIS HOUSE THAT IS A LITTLE BIT UNFURNISHED. AND I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. BUT SHE ALSO STILL VOLUNTEERS, AND THE SPIRIT OF THIS LADY JUST WAS REMARKABLE. IT'S AMAZING WHAT HUMAN BEINGS CAN DO. AND THEN A FELLOW NAMED JAMES DONALDSON GOT UP. NOT THE FORMER MAVERICK. GREAT FOR ANYBODY WHO'S MY AGE. BUT, HE'S
[01:05:02]
THE CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT FOR HABITAT. AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONLY THE THIRD TIME I'VE BEEN OUT HERE ABOUT WHAT HE SAID. THIS PROJECT WAS SUPERVISED BY SERENITY. WELL, SERENITY STANDING NEXT TO ME, AND I'M 60. SHE LOOKS 12. I'M THINKING MAN. AND SO AFTER HE GOT DONE, I TALKED TO SERENITY. SERENITY IS 24 YEARS OLD. SINGLE MOM STUDENT AT COLLIN COLLEGE, MAJORING IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT. SAW THAT HABITAT NEEDED A CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR. DROVE RIGHT THERE AFTER CLASS, APPLIED AND GOT THE JOB. SHE SUPERVISED THIS ENTIRE BUILD AT 24 YEARS OLD, SINGLE MOM OF A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY. SHE'S GOT A PROFOUNDLY BRIGHT FUTURE NOW. JAMES WAS WRINGING HIS HANDS A LITTLE BIT, SAYING, I'M FIXING TO LOSE SERENITY. I SAID, YEAH, YOU PROBABLY ARE, BUT IT STRUCK ME THAT THE TECHNICAL CAMPUS AT COLLIN COLLEGE THAT WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE HERE IN ALLEN, PUTS OUT PEOPLE LIKE SERENITY, PLANO, EAST GRADUATE LEARNING A TRADE GREAT TRADE WITH A HEART TO GIVE BACK AND HELP A WOMAN LIKE MARION. SO JUST SO GLAD THAT I GOT TO DO THAT. IT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. JULY IS SMART. IRRIGATION MONTH. MORE THAN 50% OF WATER IS LOST TO EVAPORATION, WIND AND RUNOFF BETWEEN 10 A.M. AND 6 P.M. SO THIS IS A REMINDER TO WATER YOUR LAWN DURING THE COOLEST PART OF THE DAY ON YOUR TRASH DAY. AND AGAIN, THREE DAYS LATER IF NECESSARY. THIS ALLOWS THE GROUND TO ABSORB THE WATER BEFORE IT EVAPORATES. ALSO, THE CITY'S CONTRACTORS CONTINUE TO DELIVER THE NEW TRASH AND RECYCLING CARTS AND PICK UP ANY REMAINING OLD WASTE CONNECTIONS CARTS THROUGH FRIDAY, JULY 19TH. THAT'S THIS FRIDAY, JULY 19TH. SO IF YOU STILL HAVE WASTE CONNECTION CARTS OR THE OLD EVEN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF IEC CARTS, PLEASE PUT THEM OUT ON YOUR CURB AND LEAVE THEM OUT UNTIL THEY ARE PICKED UP AND THEY WILL BE PICKED UP. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SIR. ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO MENTION THE SCHOOL DRIVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW, AND LOVE LIFE FOUNDATION IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS. THEY DO. THEY PROVIDE BACKPACKS TO ALL THE, NEEDING CHILDREN IN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. I'M ALSO KIM HUGHES AND JASON HERNANDEZ ARE DOING A DRIVE THROUGH LA TIENDA LA TIENDA, AND THEY'RE DOING ADOPT A CHILD FOR $50. SO IF YOU GO BY LOT, LOT TEN AND YOU, YOU CAN PARTICIPATE WITH THEM. I KNOW THEY'RE DOING, GREAT THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY ALREADY. AND NOW THEY'VE EMBARKED ON THIS AS WELL TO HELP WITH THE NEED THAT CHILDREN HAVE IN OUR SOME OF THE CHILDREN HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL, ALSO, YOU MENTIONED MARLA WAS GOING TO MENTION MARLA AS WELL. MARLA FIELDS, I'VE ACTUALLY MET WITH HER A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE THAT NIGHT, AND I WAS GOING TO I REALIZED THAT THE STAFF THAT WAS IN THE ROOM, AND I REALIZED THAT YOU WERE IN THAT ROOM THAT MAY NOT HAVE SEEN THIS EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED. SO I WANTED TO READ IT TO YOU REAL QUICK BECAUSE IT IT MEANT SOMETHING TO ME, AND I KNOW IT WILL MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU. THIS IS AN EMAIL. I'LL JUST READ PART OF IT FROM HER FRIEND ANGIE, WHO WORKED WITH HER IN FRISCO'S PET PROJECT. I HAD MET WITH HER A COUPLE TIMES WITH MARLA AT STARBUCKS AND SHE HAD SENT ME THIS EMAIL TO LET ME KNOW THAT SHE HAD PASSED AWAY THE NIGHT BEFORE. AND SHE SAID IN THE EMAIL, SHE TOLD HER NEPHEW THAT NIGHT THAT IT WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE AND EXCITING DISCUSSION, AND HE SAID THAT HE HADN'T HEARD HER SOUND THAT HAPPY AND ENTHUSIASTIC IN A VERY LONG TIME. SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THAT. SHE LIKELY PASSED AWAY IN HER SLEEP AFTER FEELING LIKE SHE WAS ON THE VERGE OF A BREAKTHROUGH IN HER LIFELONG BATTLE TO PROTECT ANIMALS IN NEED. I WANTED YOU TO HEAR THAT, AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T THINK TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU EARLIER. AND THAT'S IT. I JUST GOT A NOTE TO SAY THAT BOTH HAVE A GOAL OF 250 TO 300 BACKPACKS FILLED WITH SUPPLIES AT, WITH JASON AND KIM AND THE LOVE LIFE FOUNDATION. AND IF YOU'RE DROPPING OFF SUPPLIES OR ANY BACKPACK CONTRIBUTION, YOU CAN DO THAT AT, ANY STARBUCKS. AT, GUITAR SANCTUARY. AND I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER PLACE AND I'M GOING TO FORGET IT RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU CAN FIND IT ON THE WEBSITE WITH THAT MOTION TO ADJOURN. SO MOVED SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR?
