IT BASICALLY IS TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD HOW WE'RE GOING TO GROW WHEN WE GROW UP AS A COMMUNITY. AND THAT PLAN HAS TO BE AMENDED WHEN THERE ARE MAJOR CHANGES. THE BYPASS IS A MAJOR CHANGE.

NEXT WE HAVE MR. MCKINNEY, AARO. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

AARON WARNER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT VISIT MCKINNEY. SHORT REPORT FOR YOU THIS MORNING. ONE, BECAUSE OF YOUR AGENDA. TWO, BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST DAY BACK AFTER AN EXTENDED TIME AWAY FROM THE OFFICE. SO I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN MY TEAM YET, BUT HAPPY TO BE HERE, I JUST GOT BACK FROM ATTENDING THE DESTINATIONS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN TAMPA, WHERE I WAS SITTING AROUND THE TABLE WITH CEOS AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, TALKING ABOUT OUR DESTINATIONS. AND I'LL SAY, I'M COMING BACK. I'M EVEN MORE PROUD TO BE IN MCKINNEY AND ALL THAT. WE HAVE DOING. I KNOW MR. KOSKI, ONE OF HIS, SAYINGS IS THAT IT'S OUR TIME IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT FROM WHAT WHAT I WAS ABLE TO TALK ABOUT WITH ALL OF THOSE OTHER PEOPLE AND HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND, AND IT'S AN EXCITING TIME IN MCKINNEY, I WAS OBVIOUSLY UNABLE TO ATTEND THE DCI EVENT. FROM WHAT I HEAR, IT WAS ANOTHER REALLY GREAT EVENT IN MCKINNEY. A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF MCDC AND VISIT DOLLARS WORKING TOGETHER TO PROMOTE AN AWESOME COMMUNITY ASSET FOR MCKINNEY AND OUR RESIDENTS TO ATTEND, ON THE HOTEL FRONT, OUR TEAM IS MEETING TOMORROW WITH ART STREET, WITH MICHAEL MUELLER FROM ARCH STREET, AMBRIDGE AND THE NEWLY SELECTED GM FOR HOTEL DENIZEN AS THEY'RE GETTING CLOSER TO AN OPENING DATE. SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT FALL BUSINESS AND KIND OF HOW OUR TEAMS WILL WORK TOGETHER MOVING FORWARD TO SECURE, SOME GROUP BUSINESS AT THE END, CORPORATE BUSINESS AT THE HOTEL. AND LASTLY, WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU IS THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IN OUR WORLD IS CREATE FAM TOURS. ANY TIME THAT WE HAVE AN INTERESTED PARTY IN BRINGING GROUPS TO MCKINNEY, WE'LL TRY TO GET THEM HERE TO THE COMMUNITY, SHOW THEM AROUND, SHOW THEM WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCE MIGHT BE LIKE, AND HOPEFULLY SECURE THAT PIECE OF BUSINESS. WE DO HAVE ONE OF THOSE SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK WITH ONE OF OUR INDUSTRY CONFERENCES THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO SECURE HERE IN MCKINNEY FOR SOME TIME, AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THEM HERE. AND HOPEFULLY GIVE THEM THE FULL MCKINNEY EXPERIENCE. AND HOPEFULLY I'LL ANNOUNCE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THEIR CONFERENCE HERE IN 2025, BUT WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT. AND THAT'S I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS. MAYOR. THANK YOU. WE'LL NOW HAVE MR. KOSKI MEDICI. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS, MICHAEL KOSKI WITH THE MEDC TWO UPDATES THIS MONTH, THE FIRST ONE IS A THANK YOU TO DIRECTOR AMY KINCAID. WE DID A QUALITY OF LIFE TOUR FOR THE MEDC ON MONDAY. WE VISITED 13 SPOTS IN OUR PARK SYSTEM WHERE I HAD THE CHANCE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF HOW WE'RE ADVANCING QUALITY OF LIFE IN MCKINNEY ALL THE TIME. HER TEAM WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING, HOSPITALITY WAS OFF THE CHARTS, AND AS A REMINDER, AS WE LOOK TO ATTRACT COMPANIES TO MCKINNEY, AS WE LOOK TO INSPIRE COMPANIES TO STAY IN MCKINNEY AND GROW, QUALITY OF LIFE IS ALWAYS TOP OF MIND. IT REALLY SEPARATES US FROM OUR SISTER CITIES AND MY STRONG OPINION. SO, AMY, YOU HAVE OUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. KEEP IT UP.

WE APPRECIATE YOU. THE SECOND UPDATE I WISH TO GIVE IS I HAD THE CHANCE. THE HONOR, AS IT WERE, TO TRAVEL WITH THE GOVERNOR TO ASIA EARLIER IN JULY ON AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MISSION, LEADERS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FROM ACROSS THE STATE WERE ASKED TO JOIN THE

[00:15:05]

GOVERNOR TO VISIT OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERS IN TAIWAN, KOREA AND JAPAN. SO OVER THE COURSE OF EIGHT DAYS, WE TRAVELED 16,000 MILES, SIX FLIGHTS, ONE BULLET TRAIN RIDE, AND I COLLECTED 163 BUSINESS CARDS. THAT'S THAT'S AN ADVENTURE. NOW, I CAN NEVER GO BACK AS A CIVILIAN BECAUSE WE GOT THE BEST TREATMENT EVER. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THE GOVERNOR OPENS UP DOORS THAT NONE OF US IN THIS ROOM CAN OPEN UP. TO BE FAIR, THE TAKEAWAY FROM MCKINNEY I HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET WITH THE CEO OF THE ORGANIZATION IN KOREA. THINK ABOUT THAT. THE EXTENSION OF THE MCKINNEY HANDSHAKE IN KOREA TO TALK ABOUT WHY THE BYRON NELSON IS IMPORTANT TO OUR ECOSYSTEM OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HAD THE CHANCE TO VISIT AMBASSADORS PRIVATE RESIDENCES IN KOREA AND JAPAN AGAIN TO GET THE MCKINNEY MESSAGE OUT THERE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I GALVANIZED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE GOVERNOR, THE REPRESENTATIVES WHO JOINED US, AND MY COLLEAGUES FROM OTHER CITIES TO PROMOTE TEXAS. SO TEXAS HAS THE ADVANTAGE. MY JOB IS TO TELL PEOPLE WHY, WHY, WHY MCKINNEY? SO WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS, QUESTION IS LIKE YOU HAD TOO MUCH FUN TRAVELING ALL THOSE MILES. I'M A LITTLE JEALOUS. CINDY. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO SEND YOU? BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO IN THE CITY. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR? I JUST WAS CURIOUS HOW IT WAS RECEIVED. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE THERE REPRESENTING OTHER CITIES IN TEXAS LIKE WHAT PUT MCKINNEY OVER THE EDGE IN TERMS OF THEIR IMPRESSIONS AND REACTIONS? YEAH. SO IT'S REALLY ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS. SO IN THE ASIAN COMMUNITY, AS WE LEARNED IN THE COURSE OF OUR JOURNEY, IT'S TRUST OVER PROFIT. THAT'S HOW THEY ORGANIZE THEIR BUSINESS ETHOS. AND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOMEBODY FROM MCKINNEY, THEIR BOOTS ON THE GROUND TO TALK ABOUT WHY MCKINNEY DOES HAVE AN ADVANTAGE, QUALITY OF LIFE, THE AVAILABLE LAND THAT WE HAVE, OUR PRO-DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, APPROACH WITH MCKINNEY, THAT'S INTENTIONAL AND THOUGHT OUT. I BELIEVE I WOULD SUBMIT, AT LEAST THAT SEPARATES US FROM OTHER CITIES AND HOW WE ARTICULATE WHY PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN MCKINNEY TODAY. AND THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING US SO WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I SHOULD HAVE HAD YOU GO DOWN TO THE TO THE HARBOR, BECAUSE THAT TAIWAN IS WHO WE SOLD OUR. THE SHIP THAT I SERVED ON WAS SOLD TO TAIWAN, THE TAIWAN THE USS KIRK WAS IN TAIWAN. SO PRETTY COOL. YEAH, YEAH. MIKE, DID YOU BRING US ANYTHING? YEAH, EXACTLY. LIKE WHERE'S OUR GIFTS? LIKE A MAYBE A BOTTLE OF SOJU? YEAH. I BROUGHT YOU STORIES. THAT'S ALL THAT'S ABOUT IT. I WILL KNOW WHAT THAT'S. MARCUS, THAT'S A GREAT LEAD IN. THANK YOU FOR TEAMING UP. WHAT I BROUGHT BACK IS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. IN FACT, ARE IN KOREA. DURING MY FREE TIME, WE HAD SOME FREE TIME, SOME DOWNTIME TO SCHEDULE INDEPENDENT MEETINGS OUTSIDE THE DELEGATIONS FORMAT. AND I MET WITH MANY COMPANIES. SO I SET UP SHOP IN THE BASEMENT OF A MALL AND A CAFE AND SPOKE WITH KOREAN COMPANIES, AND SOME ARE FLYING TO MCKINNEY ON JULY 30TH TO COME EXTEND THOSE CONVERSATIONS. SO WHEN I'M DOING, I'M BRINGING THAT ENERGY TO MCKINNEY. YEAH. HOW IS YOUR STOMACH AFTER ALL THE GREAT FOOD YOU WERE EATING, THE FOOD WAS WAS GREAT. YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN ANTICIPATE, MY RESPONSE A LOT WAS AMERICANIZED IN THESE BANQUET SETTINGS. BUT I DID GET OUT WITH DINNERS ON MY OWN AND GO TO SMALL LITTLE RESTAURANTS WITH THREE SEATS, A GUY PLAYING JAZZ AND A CD PLAYER, AND JUST HAVE SOME GREAT DUMPLINGS AND WHATNOT. YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. WE HAVE MAIN STREET IMPACT. ANDREW GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MC DC BOARD, ANDREW JONES, CULTURAL DISTRICT DIRECTOR. I'M NOT WEARING MY HAT TODAY. LAST TIME I DID, BUT I DID GET YOU ALL SOME NICE PINS THERE, FOR THE TROLLEY. I'LL LEAD OFF WITH SOME REALLY GREAT SUCCESSES. SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE AVERAGING OVER 150 TO ABOUT 200 RIDERS A DAY ON THE TROLLEY, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE, WE ARE ACTUALLY INTERVIEWING ADDITIONAL DRIVERS TO HELP SUPPLEMENT SOME OF THE JUST THE CAPACITY. AND, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL HOURS FOR THAT. SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PERMANENT TO KIND OF REPORT RIGHT NOW, BUT JUST THAT THE RESPONSE FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM LOCAL NEWS, FROM OTHER THINGS HAS BEEN REALLY POSITIVE AND REALLY GREAT. SO AGAIN, WE ARE LOOKING AT, CONTINUING TO KIND OF ADJUST THINGS AS NEEDED FOR THE TROLLEY. SO, WE'RE HAVING PERMANENT SIGNAGE INSTALLED. HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. IT'S ALREADY PRINTED, BUT THERE'S SOME INSTALLATION WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE. AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME SIGNAGE FROM LIKE MCDC AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OLD RETRO ADS THAT WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE COMING WEEKS. SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOST THE TEXAS MAIN STREET, REGIONAL WORKSHOP.

[00:20:02]

SO WE HOSTED A DELEGATION FROM AUSTIN LAST WEEK, GAVE THEM A TOUR OF ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN MCKINNEY. A LOT OF CDC PROJECTS, GOING TO TUPPS, LOOKING AT DIFFERENT SITES ALL AROUND. INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, GRANTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE HELPED MAKE HAPPEN AND MAKE POSSIBLE. SO THAT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF SHOW OFF SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT WORK THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR HISTORIC DISTRICT TO THE GREATER STATE, WE HAVE JUST A FEW EVENTS, AND I'LL BE BRIEF WITH THIS. WE HAVE A CLASSIC CAR SHOW COMING UP AUGUST 17TH. WE'RE PAIRING THAT WITH A RISE AND SHOP, SHOPPING EVENT FOR. SO EACH PERSON THAT ENTERS IN A CAR, THEY GET TWO FREE TICKETS FOR THEIR SPOUSE OR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO DO THIS AMAZING KIND OF MORNING SHOPPING EVENT THAT'S SIMILAR TO OUR GIRLS NIGHT OUT EVENTS THAT WE'VE DONE OR BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST YEAR, WE'RE EXCITED TO KIND OF TEST THAT CONCEPT OUT. AND THEN WE ARE LAUNCHING A NEW DOWNTOWN SCAVENGER HUNT. SO THIS IS AUGUST 24TH, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG GRAND PRIZE, $2,500. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A SMALLER OTHER PRIZES OF ABOUT $250 IN DOWNTOWN BUCKS, AS WELL AS OVER, WE ANTICIPATE ABOUT 100, SMALLER PRIZES FROM DIFFERENT MERCHANTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT ONE. THAT WAS GOING TO BE A REALLY FUN EVENT. AND THEN AT IMPACT, WE HAVE, FOREVER PLAID IS KICKING OFF THIS WEEKEND, THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, JULY 20TH 6 TO 20 SEVENTH AND AUGUST, SECOND THROUGH, SORRY, SECOND THROUGH 10TH. AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY MRTS, PRODUCTION OF FOREVER PLAID. THEN WE HAVE, IMPACT PRESENTS, DEL CASTILLO, AUGUST 17TH, AS WELL AS MARSHALL CRENSHAW. AUGUST 24TH. WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW YOU GOT A LONG, LONG AGENDA TODAY. ANY QUESTIONS? ANDREW, YOU SAID YOU'RE HIRE ARE INTERVIEWING FOR THE TROLLEY DRIVERS WHETHER QUALIFICATIONS AND HAVING WHERE DO THEY GO TO APPLY. YEAH. SO, WE ARE WE HAVE IT ON INDEED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS IS THE EMPLOYEE IS THROUGH THE MCKINNEY MAIN STREET PROGRAM, SO THAT'S WHERE WHERE YOU CAN APPLY RIGHT NOW THE QUALIFICATIONS OBVIOUSLY, EXPERIENCE WITH, YOU KNOW, OPERATING KIND OF VEHICLES, WHETHER IT'S A SHUTTLE OR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THEN ALSO PERSONALITY AND, YOU KNOW, THEIR ABILITY TO KIND OF ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC AND MAKE IT A FUN EXPERIENCE TOO. SO MAYBE, KELLY, YOU WANT TO JUST TEAM UP TOGETHER AND TAKE A SHIFT, MAKE IT MAKE IT A GOOD RIDE. I'D BE DOWN FOR THAT. SURE. SO WE'LL HAVE TO SCHEDULE, YOU KNOW, A RIDE AND CHECK IT OUT. SO THIS IS EXCITING. YEAH, YEAH, JUST REAL QUICK ON THE TROLLEY, TOO. I KNOW THERE'S ALL THESE GREAT STUFF YOU TALKED ABOUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TROLLEY, IT HAS SET STOPS RIGHT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. YEAH. WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THAT ROUTE? YEAH. SO RIGHT NOW THE LENGTH IS ABOUT, 17 TO 20 MINUTES, DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, LIGHTS, RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION, THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS HIGHWAY FIVE, YOU HAVE TO KIND OF GO DOWN TO TUPPS. YOU MAKE A TAKE THE ROUNDABOUT AND THEN GO ON, YOU KNOW, HIGHWAY FIVE AND KIND OF GO BACK EVENTUALLY. WE TIMED IT TO BE ABOUT A 15 MINUTE ROUTE. ONCE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE. SO THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL. WE'LL HAVE TO ADJUST THE ROUTE MAPS AND EVERYTHING ACCORDINGLY, BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN EARLY NEXT YEAR.

SO SO WHAT WERE THE EXPECTATIONS OF RIDERSHIP? YOU VERY PLEASED WITH 150 TO 200 A DAY. LIKE WHAT WERE WE THINKING IT WOULD BE? YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T REALLY, 100% SURE TO BE HONEST. BUT WE WERE WE WERE LOOKING AT CLOSER TO LIKE THE 75 RANGE PER DAY. SO FOR US, THIS WAS QUITE A BIT DRAMATIC INCREASE. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MARCUS, TO YOUR OTHER QUESTION AS FAR AS HOW PEOPLE GET ON, WE HAVE DEFINED STOPS, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, SIGNAGE, PERMANENT SIGNAGE IS GOING UP FOR THAT IN THE NEXT COMING WEEKS, AND THEN YOU CAN GET OFF ANYWHERE ON THE ROUTE BY PULLING A CORD INSIDE THE ACTUAL TROLLEY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET OFF AT THE STOP.

NINE EIGHT CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER DISCUSS, ACT ON A REQUEST FOR FUNDING SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT FOR B24-09. IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,500,000. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND IMPROVEMENTS AT HERMANN PARK. PRESENTER MISS KINCAID. GOOD MORNING AGAIN. I'M AMY KINCAID, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC. SO WE'RE REQUESTING $5.5 MILLION FOR ERWIN PARK. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY IMPACTFUL GATEWAY TO MCKINNEY AND A VERY, USED PARK. IT'S PROBABLY. IT IS THE MOST USED PARK IN THE MCKINNEY. AREA. AND,

[00:50:06]

THERE'S JUST SOME NEED FOR SOME UPGRADES, AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE OVERLAY OF THE PARK. THE OVERALL PROJECT BUDGET IS 9 MILLION, AGAIN, WE'RE REQUESTING 5.5 MILLION. SOME OF THE ITEMS WHICH WE'LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER IS UPDATING THE CAMPGROUND BY ADDING ELECTRIC AND WATER. ALSO UPDATING ALL THE PAVILIONS THAT ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR. AND JUST REPLACEMENT.

LOOKING AT REDOING ALL OF THE RESTROOMS AND ADDING A SHOWER FACILITY IN THE CAMPING AREA, WHICH WOULD BE A GREAT IMPACTFUL FOR THE CAMPERS. ALSO ADDING SOME ADDITIONS AND SIGNAGE. AS WE KNOW IT'S HARD TO IDENTIFY WHEN YOU ARRIVE TO THE PARK JUST BECAUSE THE SIGNAGE IS VERY MINIMUM. SO WITH THAT, HERE IS WHAT SOME OF THE RENDERINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH. THIS WOULD BE THE MAIN ENTRANCE. I'M JUST GIVING THAT HAS A HISTORIC LOOK AND FEEL OF ERWIN PARK, AND JUST MAKING IT A LARGE ENTRANCE INTO THE PARK. HERE'S WHAT SOME OF THE PAVILIONS MIGHT LOOK LIK.

WE'RE GOING FOR A MORE NATURAL LOOK, CURRENTLY THEY ARE BLUE, SO JUST LOOKING AT WHAT FITS IN THAT PARK. AGAIN, MORE NATURAL, THIS WOULD BE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE WHEN WE ADD SHOWERS, WHICH IS A HUGE NEED OUT THERE. THIS IS THE OVERLOOK AREA, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A HUGE ASSET JUST FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE VISITORS TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT HIGH VIEW, LOOK OVER THE AREA, NOTICE THAT THE BOTTOM THERE'S A RAMP GOING UP WHICH WOULD MAKE IT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE TOP DECK THAT YOU CAN SEE FOR 35 PLUS MILES. SO AGAIN, JUST ADDING THAT WOW FACTOR TO ERWIN PARK. SO AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THIS PROJECT WOULD ENTAIL IS THE ENTIRE PARK ROAD RESURFACING. AGAIN A HUGE NEED THERE. ALL PARKING AREAS RENOVATED WITH CONCRETE PAVING.

RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL ROCK AND JUST NEEDS UPDATING. VARIOUS ADD IMPROVEMENTS, JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE, ALLOWING THAT OPPORTUNITY. CONCRETE TRAIL AROUND THE NORTHERN LOOP, WHICH AGAIN, WILL ENABLE THE, THE DISABLED OR WHO MIGHT NEED IT, AN OPPORTUNITY. NEW RESTROOMS. AGAIN, ONE WITH THE SHOWER FACILITY AND ALL THE PAVILIONS, RESTROOMS CONVERTED TO SANITARY SEWER RATHER THAN SEPTIC, AND THIS IS THE LARGER COST, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NEEDED. NEW SITE FURNISHES. AGAIN, JUST EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE REFRESHED THERE. THE ONE THING THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IS THE PLAYGROUND. BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES ON THAT, FORMALIZED ENTRANCE SIGNS. AGAIN, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A HUGE NEED THERE, JUST TO MAKE IT THAT GRAND ENTRANCE, BUT ALSO SHOWING WHERE THE PARK IS AND HOW TO GET IN. SIGNAGE ALL THROUGHOUT THE PARK. I KNOW THAT THAT'S ONE THING IN THE MASTER PLAN, AND WE'RE WORKING CITYWIDE, BUT JUST WAYFINDING SIGNAGE. AND THEN AGAIN, THE VIEWING OVERLOOK TO GIVE IT THAT, IMPACTFUL MOMENT FOR VISITORS, SO THEY CAN HAVE THAT. WOW MOMENT. AND THEN A SMALL MAINTENANCE FARM, WHICH WILL GO BEHIND ONE OF THE PAVILIONS, WHICH WOULD GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO, STORE SOME EQUIPMENT NEEDED OUT THERE, AND JUST STORAGE, IN GENERAL. AGAIN, FOR THE GRANT REQUEST IS FOR $5.5 MILLION. AND THEN ALSO WE'RE ASKING FOR A REALLOCATION REQUEST FOR 2013. THIS WAS FUNDING FOR A NEW SENIOR CENTER, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE IT TO PARKS. ACCESSIBILITY. SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO PASS THE BONDS FOR THE NEW FACILITY, THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO BUILD THAT SENIOR FACILITY, BUT ALSO, TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THE ADA STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE, THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN FINCH PARK, PRESTWICK. AND, THERE WAS ONE OTHER AND, OLD SETTLER'S REC CENTER. SO WITH THAT, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. JUST IN TIME. YEAH. VERY GOOD. WOW AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? YOU WILL NOW

[00:55:06]

HAVE FOR BOARD DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A QUESTION, WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH? IS IT DORA? DORA? DORA BECAUSE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I WAS AT IRWIN AND PASSED BY THE DIRT AND IT WAS QUITE GROWN UP WITH VEGETATION AND NOT EVEN VISIBLE TO SEE THE RIGHT, WE HAVE A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH DORA AND SEAN OUT THERE, THAT IS ONE OF THE WALLFLOWER AREAS THAT WE TRIED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO IS GO OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE, FOR SAFETY, THAT THERE'S THE VIEWING THAT YOU CAN SEE IF YOU HAVE IF YOU'RE A PARENT, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S THAT VIEWING AREA. SO I KNOW THAT THEY HAD A WORK DAY OR THEY HAD ONE COMING UP, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO REMAIN AND KEEP. IS IT STILL BEING USED? WELL, YOU CAN'T USE IT NOW BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT, BUT, YES, IT'S VERY HEAVILY USED EVEN EVEN NOW. HUM. OH, WOW.

OKAY. I WOULDN'T GET OUT THERE I KNOW. OKAY. THEY DID ALSO JUST ADD A LOGAN PASS, WHICH IS A SMALL, IN AN EAGLE SCOUT CAME OUT THERE AND IT'S A REALLY COOL BIKE RAMP. SO THEY ARE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF IMPROVEMENT OUT THERE, BUT THAT IS A HEAVILY USED AREA. OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY GO AHEAD, AMY, JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, THE 5.5 THAT YOU'RE REQUESTING, THAT'S JUST ASKING THE BOARD TO ALLOW YOU TO USE THE 5.5 WE ALREADY GIVE YOU. YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR AN EXTRA 5.5. THAT'S CORRECT. PERFECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. CLARIFYING. THANK YOU. YEAH.

THEY ARE NOT ASKING FOR A NO TO USE. WELL, NO. MISS KOSKI, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. AMY ON THE OVERLOOK. HOW WILL THAT STRUCTURE BE SAFEGUARDED, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE PARK RANGERS OUT THERE ALL THE TIME. I JUST WORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE KIDS ACTING OUT OR SOME SAFETY CONCERNS OR BURNING DOWN THE WOOD STRUCTURE. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE VISION, YOU KNOW, OR PLANS THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN GOOD IN GOOD STANDING? THAT IS QUITE AN INVESTMENT, RIGHT.

SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS WHAT THOSE SECURITY OPPORTUNITIES ARE AND WHETHER IT'S FUNDING A PARK RANGER TO STAY OUT THERE, WE HAVE CURRENTLY A, POLICE THAT STAYS OUT THERE. SO THEY CONSTANTLY HAVE AN EYE. SO WE'RE REEVALUATING THAT, REEVALUATING WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE, BUT WE KNOW WITH THIS IT'S JUST IT COULD POTENTIALLY ADD SOME, SOME MISHAP, SO WE ARE LOOKING AT SEEING WHAT THOSE SECURITY, WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. DO WE HAVE A GATE THAT WE CLOSE DOWN FOR THE CAMPSITES AND ALLOW THEM IN AND OUT. SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY REVIEWING THAT TO SEE WHAT WORKS. THE BEST? OKAY. SO CURRENTLY NOW THERE'S A MCKINNEY POLICE OFFICER TASKED ON A SHIFT CONSTANTLY, IN THE CAMPGROUND. CURRENTLY THEY ARE, THEY THEY HAVE A LITTLE THEY LIVE OUT THERE. OKAY. SO THANK YOU. YEAH. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. YEAH. WHAT ABOUT DO WE HAVE CAMERAS JUST THROUGHOUT, LIKE, ARE THERE CAMERAS IN THE BATHROOM? IS THAT ANYTHING THAT THE PARKS AND REC IS THAT CURRENTLY, WE DO NOT HAVE THOSE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT, AGAIN, WE NEED TO LOOK AT, NOT ONLY HERE, BUT OTHER PARKS. SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH POLICE. WHAT? THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR THE FUTURE. THEY THEY MET WITH THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PARK. IS THAT GOING TO DISRUPT THE PARK AT ALL? IS IT TO CLOSE IT DOWN OR PEOPLE STILL BE ABLE TO USE IT WHILE THE RENOVATIONS ARE GOING ON? WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE MAIN THING IS WHEN WE HAVE TO DO THE SEWER LINES AND STUFF THAT POTENTIALLY COULD CLOSE DOWN THE PARK, BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS, CLOSE DOWN PARTS AT A TIME. SO THE BIKE RIDERS AND STUFF STILL CAN UTILIZE CERTAIN AREAS, BUT THAT WOULD JUST BE DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO. GOTCHA SO WHAT'S THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE, ASSUMING WE FUND THIS NEXT MONTH. WHEN DO YOU START WORK AND WHEN DO YOU COMPLETE IT? WE ARE, CLOSE TO DONE WITH THE DESIGN WORK. DEPENDING ON THE APPROVAL. SO ONCE WE DO THAT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HOPEFULLY FINALIZE DESIGN WORK. I'M LOOKING AT PROBABLY A YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEAR TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION, PROBABLY CLOSER TO TWO YEAR. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT OPT TO CAMP OVERNIGHT ON THE CAMPGROUND, THEY PAY SOME KIND OF FEE TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. DO, AND I HAVE AND I

[01:00:04]

CAN GET YOU THOSE NUMBERS, I KNOW I THINK THAT THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED. WE HAD OVER 1500 RENTALS OF THE CAMPSITES LAST YEAR, SO THEY ARE HEAVILY USED, AND THEY ARE ALL ONLINE RENTALS.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING SOME FORM OF AN UPGRADE SO WE WILL KNOW WHOEVER DRIVES THROUGH AND MONITORS, THEY'LL AUTOMATICALLY KNOW IF THOSE CAMPSITES ARE OPEN OR IN USE, IF SOMEONE'S DRIVING THROUGH AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO RENT IT, THEY'LL ALSO KNOW THAT AS WELL. OKAY. AND SO JUST UPDATING THAT AND WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. AND DO YOU IMAGINE ANY KIND OF INCREASE IN THE FEE GIVEN NOW THAT THE AMENITIES WILL BE UPGRADED. YES. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH LIKE OR WHAT PERCENT, USUALLY IT'S 10 TO 15%, AND IT'S ALSO COMPARED TO OTHER, LOCALLY, YOU KNOW, PRICE COMPARATIVES ACROSS THE CITIES. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? JUST ON THE OBSERVATION OF, SORRY, I COULDN'T FIND IT IN THE NOTES. THE FOR THAT ONE STRUCTURE, ABOUT WHAT IS THE COST OF THAT. WE DON'T I KNOW THAT THAT WAS ASKED IT'S NOT LINE ITEMIZED OUT. RIGHT, BUT WE CAN TRY TO FIND THAT OUT. WE IT'S JUST A GENERAL BUDGET, BUT IT'S NOT ITEMIZED OUT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT CURRENTLY IS, BUT I CAN SEE IF I CAN. I'D BE CURIOUS. BALLPARK IS FINE. I'D BE CURIOUS WHAT THAT IS. AND THEN, WERE THERE FOR THAT STRUCTURE SPECIFIC, HOURS THAT IT WOULD BE, OR IT WOULD BE THE HOURS OF THE PARK. IT WOULD BE THE HOURS OF THE PARK ITSELF. OKAY CHRIS, I THINK IN THE I THINK IT'S 322,000, THE COST OF THE STRUCTURE. I THINK YOU EMAIL THAT OUT TO US. IT CAN'T BE JUST 22,300, 300, 320 FOR THAT EXTRA DIGIT. THERE WELL WITH YOUR YOU KNOW, YEAH IT'S YOUR DONATION. WE THOUGHT WE COULD GET IT DONE YOU KNOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MARCUS. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY I, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE REALLOCATION REQUEST. DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT NOW OR. WELL, WE CAN, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE IT IS A SEPARATE LINE. OH IT'S A SEPARATE LINE. THAT'S OKAY. IT'S A SEPARATE LINE ITEM. YEAH. FIVE MORE MINUTES FOR THAT. NO I KNOW RIGHT. SO AGAIN THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. AND IS THERE ANYONE TO SPEAK TO THIS AGENDA ITEM. NO. OKAY I HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT. I THINK THE QUESTIONS COMMENTS RAISED BY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING SECURITY CONCERNS ARE FAIR. AND, YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING INTO IT OR YOU'RE CONSIDERING IT. I, I, I WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE IN THE NEXT MONTH HAVE SOME CORRESPONDENCE WITH CINDY ABOUT CAN WE CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT THESE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE PAYING FOR IN OUR MOST REMOTE PARK ARE SECURE, AND THAT THE PEOPLE ENJOYING IT ARE SAFE, AND THAT THE INVESTMENT IS SAFE? IF WE COULD INCLUDE, EITHER THROUGH REALLOCATION FROM OTHER THINGS OR SOME KIND OF ADJUSTMENT IN THE SPECIFICS OF THIS PROJECT TO, YOU KNOW, REALLOCATE SOME TO SECURITY MEASURES, WHETHER THAT'S CAMERAS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING FAIR FOR US TO LOOK AT. I APPRECIATE THAT. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED MOVED BY JOY, SECOND, SECOND BY DAVID RICH. MOTION PASSES TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. NEXT ITEM 4020

[Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request for Funding Submitted by the City of McKinney Parks and Recreation Department (4B24-12), in the Amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for Construction of Improvements at Gabe Nesbitt Park.]

4-1802. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER, DISCUSS. ACT ON A REQUEST FOR THE FUNDING SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY PARKS AND REC RECREATION DEPARTMENT FOR BE 24 DASH 12. IN THE AMOUNT OF $1 MILLION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS AT THE GABE NESBIT PARK. AND WE HAVE AMY. PERFECT GOOD MORNING AGAIN, AMY KINCAID HERE TO PRESENT, ADDITIONAL GRANT REQUEST, AS YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE MASTER PLAN, I WE CAN NEVER CATCH UP TO ENOUGH SPACE FOR PRACTICES FOR OUR SPORTS GROUPS, SO WE'D LIKE TO REQUEST FUNDS AT GABE NESBITT FOR JUST SOME OVERALL IMPROVEMENTS. AS, AS THIS PROJECT, IF IT'S APPROVED, THIS

[01:05:06]

WILL PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE GABE NESBITT AS A WHOLE AND PARK. SO THAT'S VERY EXCITING NEWS. AS YOU KNOW, THE BONDS THAT WERE PASSED, WE WERE ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND CASH IN 20 MILLION. SO WE WILL START CONSTRUCTION IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO ON THE FOURPLEX, WHICH WAS ANOTHER PIECE. SO THIS IS JUST THE FINAL, EXCLAMATION MARK FOR THIS GREAT COMPLEX. SO HERE'S AN OVERALL VIEW. YOU'LL SEE THE SIGNAGE ON THE NORTH SIDE THAT WILL BE A NEW ENTRANCE SIGN OFF THE EL DORADO. AND THEN ANOTHER, COMING OFF OF ALMA, ANOTHER ENTRANCE SIGN. I'M GOING INTO THAT PARK AND THEN THE CLOUD AREA IS WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO A PRACTICE FIELD OR PRACTICE AREA. LET ME GO BACK. OVERALL PROJECT COST IS $1 MILLION, AND WE'RE REQUESTING THE MILLION DOLLARS TO FUND THIS COMPLETE PROJECT. SO HERE IS SOME RENDERINGS OF THE ALMA ROAD ENTRY MONUMENT SIDE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PERSON. SO YOU CAN SEE THE HEIGHT OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WHERE IT WOULD SIT ON AS IT RELATES TO THE STREET. AND HERE IS THE EL DORADO PARKWAY ENTRANCE SIGN WITH THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE WITH SOME LANDSCAPE, AROUND IT. AND SOME OF THE DIFFERENT PLANTS THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT PLANNING OPEN SPACE FOR PRACTICE FIELD, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO IN AND GRADE AND IMPROVE FOR SOCCER OR FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER SPORTS THAT MIGHT BE, BUT THIS IS THIS WOULD BE GREAT USE OF THAT SPACE AND ADD THE MUCH NEEDED SPACE FOR THAT AREA. SO THE FULL FUNDED FUNDING WOULD INCLUDE A NEW ENTRY SIGN AT ALMA ROAD, INCLUDING A SIGN AND LIGHTS, ANOTHER SIGN AT EL DORADO PARKWAY, REROUTING THE SIDEWALK, AGAIN ADDING LIGHTS AND THE SIGN, LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION. AND THEN THE OPEN FIELD IMPROVEMENTS. THIS WOULD BE A REGRADE IMPROVED DRAINAGE AND SOLID SOD TO FOR THE PLAY AREAS FOR DRAINAGE, DRAINAGE AREA, AND ALSO ADDING IRRIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE STAY NICE AND GREEN AGAIN. GRANT REQUEST IS FOR $1 MILLION. AND FOR THAT AND WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS AGENDA ITEM FOR DISCUSSION? DAVID, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? OKAY SO, AMY, I KNOW THAT WE MQDC AND THE PARKS, DEPARTMENT HAS TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE CLARITY ON WHERE WE LANDED. SO THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT ONCE YOU'RE IN THE GABE NESBIT COMPLEX, HAVING LIKE, WAYFARING SIGNAGE, BUT THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS REQUEST. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO COME LATER, WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT THAT.

SO AFTER THAT, WE TOOK IT AND WE ARE LOOKING AT, SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE PARK, SO THIS WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THAT. BUT OUR DEPARTMENT IS LOOKING AT WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE INSID.

SO WHATEVER COSTS COME OUT OF THAT DISCUSSION, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY BE COMING BACK TO US FOR A PLAN THERE OR THAT'S ALREADY BEEN OBLIGATED THROUGH SOME OTHER LINE ITEM. WE HAVE SOME FUNDING FOR THE WAYFINDING. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SHOULD BE COVERED. SO THAT'S ON RECORD.

YEAH I KNOW IT'S LIKE MAYBE. HOPEFULLY BUT MIKE'S DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR I KNOW I'M SORRY. DON'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING I DIDN'T SAY YES. COMPLETELY RIGH. CAN WE GO BACK TO THE MAP? THIS YEP. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE AREA. HERE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE FIELDS, LIKE, JUST, YOU KNOW, GRADING, SORTING. SO WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS RENDERING, IT'S OVER THE TOP OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE NICE PARK AMENITIES, LIKE A POOL AND TRAILS AND BUSHES AND STUFF. SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT DOESN'T EXIST THERE CURRENTLY, RIGHT? NO, AND SO WAS THERE AT SOME POINT AN INTENT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THAT? AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING THIS DRAWING OR WHAT, WHAT IS THE WHAT AM I SEEING HERE? WHAT'S THE INTENT FOR THAT SPACE? I AM NOT SURE. JENNY WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COME. ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

SORRY JENNY BAKER PARKS PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, I WANT TO SAY IT WAS IN 2015 WHEN WE

[01:10:06]

COMPLETED THE MASTER PLAN FOR ALL OF GABE NESBITT, AND ONE OF THE AREAS WHICH INCLUDED, THAT WAS INCLUDED WAS THIS CLOUDED AREA. AND WE KIND OF ENVISIONED AN EXTENSION OF THE SOFTBALL COMPLEX, ADDITIONAL PARKING, KIND OF A PLAZA FOR, YOU KNOW, TOURNAMENTS, PICTURE TAKING TROPHY AWARDS, JUST KIND OF ADDING SOME JUST, YOU KNOW, ENHANCED FEATURES IN THAT AREA, IN TERMS OF PRIORITIES AND BUDGETS, WE DON'T HAVE FUNDING OR, YOU KNOW, ANY ANTICIPATED FUTURE FUNDING TO COMPLETE THAT SECTION. AND SO FOR NOW, WE THOUGHT, LET'S MAKE THIS SPACE USABLE, WE KNOW THAT IS VERY, VERY LONG TERM. IF WE WERE EVER TO IMPLEMENT THAT PHASE, THAT'S KIND OF THE REMAINING PHASE OF GABE NESBITT. AND SO WE DECIDED IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO USE IT FOR MUCH NEEDED PRACTICE SPACE AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST WEEDS AND UNUSABLE AREA. AND SO, THAT THAT WAS KIND OF OUR VISIO. AND SO IN THE, THE CLOUDED AREA, THE RED AREA THAT IS THAT THE ENTIRE EXTENT OF THE PRACTICE FIELD AREA THAT THIS REQUEST IS FOR, DOES IT GO DOWN FURTHER INTO THIS? AND IF NOT, THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? IS THAT JUST GOING TO BE REMAINING KIND OF GRASS AND GROWN UP, OR DOES THIS REQUEST COVER THAT WHOLE AREA? SO THE AREA IN THAT YOU HIGHLIGHTED IN BLACK, THAT'S OUR EXISTING FIVE PLEX SOFTBALL COMPLEX. OKAY. SO THAT THOUGH THOSE BASEBALL FIELDS DO EXIST THERE, THEY DO. THEY DO EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE CLOUDED AREA IS JUST EMPTY FIELD RIGHT NOW OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN LAST THING IS UP HERE THESE ARE THIS IS CURRENTLY NOTHING. BUT THAT IS THOSE ARE NEW SOFTBALL FIELDS. AT LEAST THESE FOUR RIGHT ARE NEW SOFTBALL FIELDS THAT YOU'RE JUST GOT BOND FUNDING FOR. YES. AND THOSE ARE ONES THAT AMY JUST REFERENCED. THOSE ARE ABOUT TO PROCEED OKAY.

COOL THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL CHRIS. YEAH. FOLLOW UP QUESTION ON THE FOR THE RED CLOUDED AREA, THE LARGE ONE. SO, THAT'S GOING TO BE SOCCER FIELDS AFTER THE GRADE SOCCER, FOOTBALL MULTI-US.

YES. OKAY. IT'S GOING TO BE AN OPEN FIELD FOR ANYONE TO COME USE OKAY. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE NECESSARILY RESERVED BY CLUBS. THIS IS ANYBODY CAN COME OUT AND PLAY. YES. CORRECT.

OKAY. YOU HEAR THAT COMMUNITY FIRST COME FIRST SERVED FOR YOU. YEAH. THAT'S NOT TO SAY FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BECAUSE THAT WAS A QUESTION. AND I KNOW JOY YOU POSED THAT QUESTION. YOU KNOW WHAT KEEPS AN ORGANIZATION TO KIND OF COME IN ALL THE TIME AND BASICALLY TAKE OVER KIND OF AND THEN NOW, WELL, SO, YOU KNOW ABC CLUB IS THERE. SO DON'T GO OVER IN THAT CORNER BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND OF GETTING PREFERENCE BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE FIRST. BUT IT IS A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. SO IF YOU HEAR THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SAY WE CAN NEVER USE IT, GET THERE FIRST, THEN YOU WILL BE SERVED. YES SO HOW ARE YOU? SAYS FIRST COMES FIRST SERVE. SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ELIMINATE THE FACT THAT A CLUB'S COME OUT THERE WITH EIGHT TEAMS, TAKE OVER THE WHOLE THE WHOLE THING AND THEN USE IT FOR FIVE HOURS? WE HAVE AN ATHLETIC TEAM THAT CLOSELY MONITORS THAT AND ADDRESSES ANY CONCERNS, AND THEY HAVE, OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH ALL THE CLUBS AND STUFF AND THEY KNOW NOT TO. AND REPERCUSSIONS WILL HAPPEN IF THEY ARE FOUND OUT THERE. AWESOME. THANK YOU. SO PEOPLE PLAY NICE, BE NICE AND PLAY NICE, BUT IT WILL BE MAINTAINED. MOWED FIELDS I MEAN NOW IT'S A BIG FIELD BUT IT'S OKAY. SO YES IT'LL TURN INTO IT WILL BE MAINTAINED AS A PRACTICE FIELDS WITH IRRIGATION. ONE LAST QUESTION, THE WORD TEMPORARY IS IN HERE. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY TEMPORARY? LIKE IS, IS THERE SOME FUTURE USE INTENDED FOR THIS OR WHAT? IT'S IT WILL BE PERMANENT. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE WORD TEMPORARY IS IN THERE. LIKE THE VISION DOWN THE LINE. YEAH. OR THE STAGE. YEAH. THE LAKE. AND I DIDN'T GET AN INDICATION THAT THAT THAT THERE WAS ANY NEAR TERM CERTAINLY INTENT FOR THAT. SO FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE THIS IS THE USE. YES. THIS PRACTICE AREA IS THE INTENDED USE FOR. YES. THAT'S CORRECT. JUST KNOWING THAT WE ARE, VERY UNDER WHERE WE SHOULD BE ON ALL FIELDS, PRACTICE FIELDS, WE'RE TRYING TO OPTIMIZE WHAT THAT IS. SO WE KNOW THAT WE NEED MORE PRACTICE FIELDS IN THIS. SO THIS WILL BE A LONG TERM SOLUTION OKAY I HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS IN IN THE AREA WHERE THE FIELDS ARE GOING, HOW MANY SOCCER GAMES FOR EXAMPLE, COULD OPERATE AT ONCE IN THAT

[01:15:04]

SPACE? I'M IT WILL NOT BE USED FOR ORGANIZED GAMES, SO WE WON'T HAVE LINES THAT WILL JUST BE AN OPEN FIELD, AND JUST DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, THE SIZE OF THE GROUPS AND HOW MANY SOCCER PRACTICE GOALS THEY HAVE. I MEAN, YOU COULD OPTIMALLY LOOK AT PROBABLY 8 TO 10 DIFFERENT GROUPS OUT THERE AT ANY TIME, JUST DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PEOPLE AND SET UP AND WHAT THEY DO. OKAY. AND THEN IN THE AREA, HOW DID YOU DRAW? DID YOU JUST DRAW WITH YOUR FINGERS AND IT POPPED UP ANNOTATION ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT. OH, HERE. OKAY. SORRY. I WAS BLOCKING, I MIGHT TAKE LONGER FOR ME TO FIGURE THIS OUT THAN TO JUST TALK THROUGH IT, THE NEW AREA, I DID THAT. CAN YOU SEE THAT IN PURPL? OKAY. VERY GOOD. SO THAT IS THE AREA IN WHITE ABOVE THE CIRCLE.

THAT'S THE LIBRARY, CORRECT? RIGHT SO AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, THE FOUR SOFTBALL FIELDS WILL BE BUILT, BUT THERE WOULD BE AN EXTENSION OF ABOUT 80 PARKING SPACES. CORRECT ARE THE PARKING SPACES BEING COVERED BY THE BOND FUNDING? YES. OKAY. YES. AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUSHING OUT TOWARDS EL DORADO. SO THERE'S AN EXISTING PARKING LOT THERE AND IT'S GOING TO BE TAKING UP THAT GREEN SPACE BETWEEN THE CURRENT LOT AND EL DORADO. YES OKAY. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. YEAH MAYBE. SO ONCE AGAIN FOR THE PUBLIC YOU SAID THAT ON THAT PRACTICE IT'S PRACTICE.

PRACTICE. SO TEAMS CAN'T COME OUT THERE AND PUT CONES UP AND THEN TAKE THE WHOLE THING OVER RIGHT. CORRECT. AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, PLAY NICE. AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR USE FIELDS THROUGHOUT THE PARK SYSTEM. RIGHT. CORRECT. AND WE DON'T HAVE, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THINGS OF THIS NATURE. RIGHT? NO. OKAY COOL. JUST THE REQUEST FOR MORE. YEAH. AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING ITEM? SO MOVED. MOVED BY DAVID RICH. SECOND SECOND BY DAVID KELLY. OKAY.

RALPH OSMOND, VP OF FINANCE FOR THE OUR MISSION AT BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS IS TO ENABLE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AS PRODUCTIVE, CARING AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO NEED US.

THE MOST. ACROSS COLLIN COUNTY, WE ARE SERVING 9800 YOUTH, APPROXIMATELY 46% OF OUR YOUTH ARE ON THE FEDERAL FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAMS IN APPROXIMATELY 44% ARE LIVING IN A NONTRADITIONAL HOUSEHOLD. WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING ACROSS 11 SITES IN COLLIN COUNTY. WE'RE PICKING UP FROM 55 SCHOOLS. OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMING RUNS FROM AUGUST TO MAY. THE TUITION COST IS ONLY $100, AND NO CHILD IS EVER TURNED AWAY IF THEY CANNOT PAY THE TUITION. IN OUR SUMMER CAMPS ARE EIGHT WEEKS IN JUNE AND JULY, AND THE TOTAL COST FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER IS ONLY 500 AT THE MCKINNEY CLUB, WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 544 REGISTERED MEMBERS WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2489 YOUTH SERVED THROUGH OUTREACH EVENTS SUCH AS SPORTS LEAGUES. ON ANY GIVEN DAY, YOU'LL SEE APPROXIMATELY 300 KIDS IN THE BUILDING. WE ARE PICKING UP FROM 11, MCKINNEY ISD SCHOOLS. WE'RE VERY THANKFUL TO MCDC FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. LAST YEAR, YOU HAD APPROVED OUR INNOVATIVE PROGRAMING, CALLED EXTRA GAMING, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE UNVEILING THAT ON AUGUST 19TH, WE'RE EXCITED, AND OUR KIDS AND OUR CLUB STAFF ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. ACROSS OUR LEGACY SITES IN COLLIN COUNTY, WE SPECIALIZE IN IN AREA AT EACH OF OUR CLUBS, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR FISCAL CLUB IS KNOWN FOR STEM PROGRAMING IN MCKINNEY BECAUSE WE OWN THAT GYM, COUNTY WIDE ATHLETICS HAS BECOME OUR SIGNATURE INITIATIVE, SPORTS LEAGUES SUCH AS BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, SOCCER, FLAG FOOTBALL, AND CHEERLEADING WILL BE UP AND RUNNING, THIS YEAR.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT YOUTH INVOLVED IN SPORTS PERFORM BETTER ACADEMICALLY. SPORTS LEAGUE FOSTER A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONG PARTICIPANTS IN STRUCTURED AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN LINKED TO LOWER RATES OF RISKY BEHAVIOR IN YOUTH. OUR, FUNDING, SORRY, OUR

[01:25:05]

FUNDING REQUEST FOR 2024, IS TO, FOR EQUIPMENT TO ENHANCE OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH SPORTS FOR A TOTAL ASK OF $70,000, THE FIRST ITEM IS UPGRADING THE MAIN GOAL POST.

THERE ARE TWO OF THEM, WITH ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT MECHANISM FROM 10FT TO 8FT TO ALLOW YOUNGER YOUTH TO PARTICIPATE IN A NEW SCOREBOARD WITH A WIRELESS REMOTE. THEN THE SECOND ITEM IS AN INDOOR TURF DESIGNED FOR INDOOR SOCCER LEAGUE. THIRD ITEM IS TO INSTALL AN INDOOR SOUND SYSTEM WITH BLUETOOTH WIRELESS CAPABILITIES, A PROJECTOR AND THE SCREEN WITH THE ELECTRONIC DROP DOWN. WHICH WE USE FOR AWARD CEREMONIES AND A FOLDING STAGE ON WHEELS FOR PRESENTATIO.

YOU KNOW, IN CLOSING, BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF COLLIN COUNTY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE STELLAR OUTCOMES. 100% OF OUR KIDS, GRADUATE, WITH OUR YOUTH GOING ON TO, COLLEGE, MILITARY AND TRADE SCHOOL. AND 100% OF OUR KIDS ARE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL, AND NONE OF OUR KIDS ARE IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICA IS RECOGNIZED AS THE PREMIER YOUTH SERVING ORGANIZATION BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS, AND BY 2030, OUR VISION IS TO BE SERVING 14,000 YOUTH ACROSS THE COUNTY, AND THAT'S IT FOR THE PRESENTATION. WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE BUDGET, LINDA? SURE SO I THINK A QUESTION THAT I HAVE ALSO IS THIS IS REPRESENTS 100% OF THE TOTAL COSTS. ARE YOU SEEKING FUNDING FROM OTHER AREAS? SURE. WELL, NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EQUIPMENT, BUT WE ARE SEEKING FUNDING FOR OUR LEAGUES. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE MAVS FOUNDATION, WE'RE ASKING FOR, FUNDING FOR, T SHIRTS, STAFFING, YOU KNOW, JUST OVERALL EXPENSES TO GET THE SOCCER. BASKETBALL IS ALREADY RUNNING, BUT THE VOLLEYBALL GOING, YOU KNOW, TO GET IT UP AND GOING. SO NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EQUIPMENT, BUT FOR THE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE FOR THE COUNTYWIDE, WE ARE SEEKING, FUNDING. AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO DISCUSS THIS AGENDA ITEM FOR DISCUSSION? GO AHEAD. YES, I WAS LOOKING THROUGH YOUR PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT, AND I'M CURIOUS ABOUT ONE LINE ITEM, THERE'S $55,000 FOR BANK CHARGES AND LATE FEES. CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT, YES. SURE THE BANK CHARGES ARE MAINLY RELATED TO THE PROCESSING FEES. WE HAVE GATEWAYS AND CREDIT CARDS WHERE WE COLLECT MEMBERSHIP FEES AND OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. SO THOSE ARE THE CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THA. IT'S JUST LIKE THE MISNOMER FOR THE PENALTIES. YEAH, EXACTLY. IT'S MAINLY FEES. YEAH. OKAY. SO JUST THE CREDIT CARD FEES THAT LIKE IF MEMBERS PAY EXACTLY FOR THEIR TUITION ON A CREDIT CARD, THOSE ARE THE CREDIT CARD FEES THAT YOU'RE PAYING. OKAY. SO IT'S NOT A LATE FEE OR ANYTHING. THAT IS AN ACCOUNTING. IT'S JUST LIKE WHOEVER CREATED THAT LINE ITEM CREATED LIKE A WIDE, BECAUSE MAYBE I'M LOOKING AT IT WRONG, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE 544 MEMBERS WHO HAVE PAID. THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY IN CREDIT CARD FEES. WELL, WE HAVE SUMMER CAMPS. WE HAVE ALSO SOME DONORS. ACTUALLY, WE COLLECT CREDIT CARDS FROM DONOR, ESPECIALLY FOR THE GALA EVENT. THAT'S A HUGE, SOME OF OUR FUNDS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I JUST IT JUST JUMPED OUT AT ME. YOU KNOW, THE REQUEST IS FOR 70,000.

I'M SEEING 55,000. AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE LATE FEES. SO I WANTED TO JUST RECONCILE. WE TRY TO MAKE IT VERY CONVENIENT, WHOEVER WANTS TO DONATE OR GIVE US MONEY. SO THAT'S WHY WE INCORPORATED THE CREDIT CARD TO THEM, I SEE. OKAY, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. YEAH, THAT'S AN AWFUL HIGH FEE. SO YOU GUYS DON'T CHARGE A SERVICE FEE WHATEVER. TO HELP RECOUP THAT? I MEAN, BECAUSE IF YOU GOT THAT 55,000, YOU COULD HAVE PRETTY MUCH DONE THIS BY YOURSELF. EXACTLY. WE DON'T WE DON'T PASS IT THROUGH TO THE MEMBERS OR TO WHOEVER, WHOEVER IS PAYING US THE, THE MONEY, WE KNOW THAT THE FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING ENOUGH. SO WE DON'T WANT TO PASS THAT BURDEN TO THEM. EXCEPT MOST OF IT CAME FROM DONORS. SO, YEAH, THOSE AREN'T THE STRUGGLING ONES.

POSSIBLY. THAT'S A LOT. YEAH ON EACH TRANSACTION. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR OUR GALA EVENT, WE USE A PLATFORM CALLED ONE CAUSE AND THERE IS A CHECKBOX TO ASK THE DONORS TO COVER. IT'S VOLUNTARY. SO WE DO ENCOURAGE THEM. BUT WE CAN'T FORCE A DONOR TO COVER IT OKAY. THEN A LINE ITEM FOR THE, INDOOR SOUND SYSTEM, I MEAN, 25,000. I MEAN, THAT THAT MUST BE THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S A BIG THAT'S A BIG LINE ITEM. IS THERE NOT SOMETHING ELSE THAT THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE ECONOMICAL WHERE IT'S NOT JUST I MEAN, THEY CAN DO THE SAME THING, BUT JUST NOT WITH A $25,000 PRICE TAG ON IT, SO OUR OPERATIONS TEAM, YOU

[01:30:06]

KNOW, THEY BROUGHT IN QUOTES AND THIS WAS, WAS PRESENTED TO US AS KIND OF A KID. CHRISTMAS. YOU CIRCLE THE MOST EXPENSIVE THINGS IN SEARS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I'VE JUST THAT'S JUST A BIG THAT'S JUST ASK. WE'RE HAPPY TO GO BACK TO THEM AND TO SEE IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN NEGOTIATE OR FIND A DIFFERENT. I THINK IT'D BE HELPFUL. I MEAN, IF THEY WENT OUT AND GOT BIDS AND QUOTES AND FOR THE TRANSPARENCY TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WERE OTHER YOU KNOW, IF YOU VALUED, ENGINEERED IT OUT OR SENT IT OUT, LIKE, WHAT WERE THE OPTIONS? AND DID YOU PICK NOT SAYING YOU NEEDED TO SELECT THE LEAST, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE LEAST IS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST.

AND WE GET THAT. BUT, FOR THE REQUEST, I THINK FOR TRANSPARENCY THAT WE SEE THAT BIDS WERE SENT OUT AND THEN THAT'S WHAT WAS PRESENTED. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ARE YOU REPLACING A SOUND SYSTEM THAT'S ALREADY THERE, OR IS THIS A BRAND NEW. WE DON'T HAVE ONE INSTALLED. WE DON'T HAVE ONE. SO OKAY. SO THIS IS THIS IS INCLUDED NOT JUST THE TECHNOLOGY BUT IT'S ALSO INSTALLED RIGHT IN A PLACE THAT HASN'T HAD ANYTHING BEFORE. SO YOU HAVE TO GO IN AND IN A BUILDING. HOW THE BUILDING. HOW OLD IS THIS BUILDING. DO YOU, MCKINNEY I ACTUALLY I PLAYED BASKETBALL IN IT WHEN I WAS YOUNG, SO YEAH. 70 YEARS OLD. SO I CAN TELL YOU, IT PREDATES US, BUT I CAN'T DO MORE SPECIFIC. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT, AS ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING WHEN YOU'RE INSTALLING A SYSTEM LIKE THIS IN AN OLD BUILDING, THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT GO INTO THE INSTALL OF IT AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE AND THE THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO AND AN OLD BUILDING, IT'S JUST YOU'RE JUST GOING TO DO A LOT OF WORK AROUNDS. YES, ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE A QUESTION THAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BETWEEN THE SOUND SYSTEM AND THEN THE NEXT LINE ITEM FOR THE MOBILE FOLDING STAGE, THAT'S HALF OF THE TOTAL AT 35,000. AND I THOUGHT I HEARD THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS FOR AWARD CEREMONIES. IS THERE IS THERE ANY OTHER PURPOSE FOR THAT? BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A SURE, YOU KNOW, WE HOST OUR YOUTH OF THE YEAR EVENT AT THE MCKINNEY CLUB. SO THAT'S COUNTY WIDE. AND, YOU KNOW, WE INVITE OUR JUDGES FROM, CORPORATE PARTNERS LIKE TOYOTA. AND SO ALL OF THAT HAPPENS IN MCKINNEY ONLY BECAUSE WE OWN THAT BIG SPACE, SO IT WOULDN'T BE JUST FOR, YOU KNOW, SAY THE BASKETBALL TROPHY, YOU KNOW, DISTRIBUTION OR ANYTHING. IT FOR OTHER EVENTS AS WELL, YOU KNOW, YOUTH RELATED EVENTS. SO WE'LL BE WE'LL GET GOOD USE. OKAY ONE ARE THE CATEGORY OF ENHANCING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH SPORTS. BUT BUT HALF OF THE REQUEST IS FOR SOUND SYSTEM AND STAGE IS, IS JUST MY POINT ON THAT. RIGHT. AND I UNDERSTAND THE INDOOR TURF AND PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW THE ENGAGEMENT WITH SPORTS GIVES BETTER GRADES AND ALL OF THE GREAT OUTCOMES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE FOR THAT. BUT BUT I AM A LITTLE CURIOUS ON THE VALUE WITH THE OTHER SECTION. THE INDOOR STAGE AND THE AND THE SOUND SYSTEM AND HOW. BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD IT IN A BUILDING THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S AS NEEDED? AND YOU CAN ANSWER THAT AS YOU'D LIKE? WELL, I MEA, IT'S A IT'S A BIG FACILITY AND WE ARE TRYING TO RECRUIT MORE AND MORE MEMBERS INTO THE FACILITY. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM THE BEST EXPERIENCE.

OBVIOUSLY AND WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE FOR THE FOR THE CHAIRMAN AND FOR EVERYBODY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THE COACHES ARE SAYING AND WHAT THE COMMUNICATION AS IS, IS BEING COMMUNICATED TO THEM. SO, OKAY. GO AHEAD. SO I IMAGINE WITH THE FOLDING STAGE, YOU'VE DONE EVENTS WHERE YOU'VE NEEDED IT, HAVE YOU RENTED BEFORE. IS THAT HOW YOU'VE DONE IT? SO VERY RECENTLY WE HAVE A VERY OLD STAGE THAT WAS, DONATED TO US, BUT IT CAVED IN. SO WE'VE STOPPED USING. SO WE'RE JUST ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY, THE OPERATIONS TEAM ASKED US TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE ASK. SO I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE EARLIER CONVERSATION ABOUT, LIKE, THE CREDIT CARD FEES YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, DONORS FOR YOUR GALA EVENT. BUT THAT EVENT IS FOR ALL OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS IN THE COUNTY, RIGH. LIKE I'VE BEEN THERE, RIGHT? RIGHT. SO IT'S FOR ALL OF THEM.

SO WHY WOULD OUR CHAPTER HERE, SO TO SPEAK, THE MCKINNEY CHAPTER BE PAYING FOR THOSE, DONOR CREDIT CARD FEES? I MEAN, WE DIDN'T REQUEST THAT AS PART OF THE BUDGET. THAT'S OUR GENERAL PNL LIKE WE THAT'S OUR OVERALL PNL. SO IT INCLUDES EVERY, EVERY ITEM. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS FOR THE WHOLE THING. OKAY. YEAH, YEAH, FOR THE WHOLE FOR THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION. I'M WONDERING, LIKE, WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT THE WHOLE COLLIN COUNTY, BOYS

[01:35:02]

AND GIRLS CLUB RAISES IS THERE ANY ALLOCATION LIKE FOR THE SPECIFIC CHAPTERS FOR THINGS LIKE IMPROVEMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE? SO THEY'RE COLLECTING LOTS OF MONEY OVERALL, BUT YOU ARE OPERATING MCKINNEY. DOES THE COUNTY ORGANIZATION HAVE LIKE A I'M SORRY, WE ARE THE COUNTY ORGANIZATION. RIGHT. BUT THIS IS FOR THE MCKINNEY CHAPTER ONLY, RIGHT. SO THE KIDS IN PLANO AREN'T BENEFITING FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. YES SO YOU JUST HOW MUCH BECAUSE THE PNL REPRESENTS THE WHOLE COLLIN. EXACTLY. THEY DON'T HAVE IT BROKEN OUT. I KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS LIKE, AND I'LL ASK THE SAME QUESTION OF THE YMCA. SO THERE'S, LIKE, BROADER ORGANIZATIONS AND THEN THERE'S LIKE LOCAL UNITS CHAPTERS OR I'M NOT SURE WHAT IF WHAT THE BUT WE ARE THE LOCAL CHAPTER. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. THE LOCAL CHAPTER, I UNDERSTAND. YEAH BUT THE LOCAL CHAPTER IS ASKING FOR $70,000 FROM US. BUT THE UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION RAISES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY. AND SO ARE YOU GETTING IT? DOES THE ORGANIZATION AS AN ENTITY GIVE TO ANY OF THE LOCAL CLUBS SOME KIND OF FUNDING STREAM FOR THINGS LIKE TURF OR A STAGE? IS THERE ANY KIND OF LIKE PASS DOWN OR CAN YOU REQUEST FROM THE BIGGER ASSOCIATION WHENEVER THEY APPLY FOR A FEDERAL GRANT OR SOMETHING? WE ARE PART OF THAT FEDERAL GRANT BY DEFAULT, AND WE GET A PERCENTAGE AND WE ALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS AMONG THE CLUBS THAT WE HAVE, WHETHER IT'S IN MCKINNEY OR FRISCO. WE TRY TO ALLOCATE THAT FAIRLY. BUT WHATEVER WE ASK FROM THE COMMITTEE HERE OR THE COMMISSION IS SIMPLY DEDICATED DIRECTLY TO THE MCKINNEY BRANCH, NOT NONE OF THIS MONEY WILL BE. YEAH. THAT PART I UNDERSTAND. I THINK YOUR POINT IS YOUR QUESTION IS, DOES BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF COLLIN COUNTY GET ANY MONEY FROM BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF AMERICA? NO. I'M ASKING, DOES THE MCKINNEY CHAPTER CLUB GET ANY MONEY FROM THE COLLIN COUNTY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB? SO IF I GO TO THE GALA AND I MAKE A DONATION TO BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF COLLIN COUNTY, IS THERE THEN SOME BUDGETING THAT HAPPENS FOR THE MCKINNEY CLUB FOR THE PLANO CLUB, HOW DO THEY DO THE DISTRIBUTION? WELL, BUT WE ARE ONE ORGANIZATION. WE COLLECT THE FUNDS AND WE MANAGE ALL THESE CLUBS AND WE HAVE TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS. SO WE PAY SALARIES IN EVERY CLUB. RIGHT. AND WE INVEST IN EVERY CLUB EQUALLY. AND THEN THERE ARE EXTRA PROJECTS LIKE THIS ONE. THAT'S WHERE SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED TO A SPECIFIC CLUB WITHIN A COUNTY. THAT'S WHERE WE COME FOR, FOR MONEY. BUT YES, SO SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. YES, WE COLLECT OUR MONEY AS, AS AS A, AGGREGATE THE FUNDS FOR THE FOR THE ORGANIZATION, AND THEN WE DIVIDE THAT MONEY BASED ON OUR NEEDS OR THE TEAM NEEDS IN EACH CLUB, WITHIN EACH COUNT. OKAY. SO IT'S BASICALLY COVERING OPERATIONAL HUMAN CAPITAL TYPE NEEDS WHEN YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC PROJECT, IT'S INCUMBENT UPON YOU TO SEEK THE MONEY ELSEWHERE. YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO THE BIG CLUB AND SAY WE HAVE THIS SPECIFIC CAPITAL NEED. DO YOU HAVE ANY LINE ITEMS YOU CAN GIVE US? YOU YOU ARE CHARGED WITH GETTING THAT MONEY ELSEWHERE? YES. I'M JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY. THE BIG CLUB IS, BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AMERICA AND WE ARE THE CHAPTER THAT MANAGES THE THREE CITIES, THE COUNTY, THE. I'M SORRY. YEAH, THE THREE CITIES, PLANO, FRISCO AND MCKINNEY. SO WHENEVER WE COLLECT, WE OPERATE LIKE A CONFEDERATED MODEL SO WE DON'T GET OUR MONEY FROM THE CLUB. AND WE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY TO THE CLUB UNLESS IT'S A MEMBERSHIP FEE, WE RAISE OUR OWN FUNDS. LET'S LET'S LET ME SAY IT THIS WAY. AND WE USE THOSE FUNDS TO MANAGE OUR OPERATIONS. FUND OUR PROJECTS, PROGRAMS, AND EVEN INVEST IN OUR CAPITAL INVESTMENTS. AND WHENEVER WE FEEL THERE IS A NEED AND THAT WE CAN'T COVER, THAT'S WHERE WE COME TO THE QUESTION. OKAY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S LIKE TO THE CHAIRMAN'S POINT, IT'S 100% OF THE REQUEST. SO THIS PROJECT WOULD BE FUNDED ENTIRELY BY MCDC, NOT THROUGH ANY OTHER DONOR SUPPORT OR ANY, YOU KNOW, COLLIN COUNTY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB SUPPORT. THIS IS YOU'RE JUST SEEKING A GRANT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS? YES. BUT WE DON'T ONLY SPEND 70,000 ON ON THAT FACILITY. WE SPEND MORE THAN THAT EVEN, LEADING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OR OPERATING. THOSE ARE THE OTHER FUNDS THAT WE THAT WE ARE COLLECTING OR GENERATING. WE USE THOSE FUNDS TO COVER THESE OPERATIONS AND OTHER EXPENSES. SO I GUESS I'M ON THE SAME PAGE AS JOEY OVER THERE. SO YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR YOUR BIG FUNDRAISER. WHATEVER. DO YOU GUYS HAVE FOR ALL ALL OF THE CLUBS SAY, HEY FRISCO IS WANTING TO DO THIS. MCKINNEY IS WANTING TO DO THIS. HAVE YOU EVER PUT THAT OUT THERE SO DONORS COULD DONATE FOR A SPECIFIC PROJECT TO KNOWING YOU GUYS HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SKIN IN THE GAME? BECAUSE I COULD SAY THE SAME THING. I ASKED THE YMCA. I LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE SKIN IN THE GAME INSTEAD OF JUST COMING TO OUR BOARD ASKING FOR THE FOR THE WHOLE FUNDING. JUST JUST SO YOU GUYS HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR, YOUR DONORS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, AND YOU CAN GO TO THOSE PEOPLE AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. THIS IS WHAT THE COST IS GOING TO BE. AND THEN THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO DONATE TO A SPECIFIC PROJECT. SURE. SO I

[01:40:03]

CAN TAKE THAT QUESTION, YOU KNOW, WE GO TO A LOT OF CORPORATE ENTITIES AND ASK FOR SPECIFIC FUNDING FOR MCKINNEY. SO TRUIST, IS FUNDING THE ESPORTS LAB, IN MCKINNEY, ALTRIA IS FUNDING THE COMMUNICATIONS LAB AT MCKINNEY. SO THERE ARE OTHER FUNDERS WHO ARE SPECIFICALLY FUNDING A, BUT I BELIEVE DIDN'T DIDN'T WE SUPPORT SOME OF THE EA SPORTS AS WELL? WE DID EXTRA GAMING. SO THE GAMING IS THE ONE THAT'S OPENING UP AUGUST 19TH. SO, I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS LIKE WE DO GO TO CORPORATE ENTITIES AND ASK FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR MCKINNEY, BUT THEN THE GALA FUNDRAISER IS COVERING OUR OPERATIONS ACROSS ALL 11 SITES, RIGHT? YES. THIS RIGHT HERE WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT FOR A CORPORATE TO BE ABLE TO DONATE, TO HAVE A NICE BIG SIGN IN THE IN THE GYM SAYING THIS WAS SPONSORED BY SUCH AND SUCH. SO WELL, WE COLLECT MONEY FROM CORPORATES AND FROM OTHER GRANTS. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IN 2023 WE HAD A DEFICIT. SO YES, WE DEFINITELY PURSUE THOSE THOSE FUNDING SOURCES. BUT THEY'RE NOT ENOUGH TO COVER EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED. SO THAT'S WHY WE COME ALSO TO THE CITIES WHERE THEY HAVE VESTED INTEREST IN IMPROVING THE FACILITY THAT SERVES THE CONSTITUENTS. YEP. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. NO DISCUSSION. CAN I GET A VOTE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING MOVED BY DAVID RICH? SECOND SECOND BY JOY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM 24. OH I'M SORRY. WE WON'T VOTE ABOUT THAT. I'M SORRY. YOU READY TO GO? I'M SORRY. PREPARE TO VOTE.

I APOLOGIZE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. NEXT ITEM 20 4-1801.

[Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider/Discuss/Act on a Project Grant Application Submitted by YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas (4B24-11) in the Amount of Twenty-Five Thousand NO/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for Purchase and Construction of New Playground Equipment at the McKinney Family YMCA located at 300 Ridge Street, Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney, Texas. Amount Requested Represents 75% of the Total Project Cost.]

CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER. DISCUSS ACT ON A PROJECT GRANT APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DALLAS FOR B TWO 2411. IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000 FOR THE PURCHASE AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AT THE MCKINNEY AT THE MCKINNEY FAMILY YMCA, LOCATED ON 300 RIDGE STREET, STONEBRIDGE RANCH, MCKINNEY, TEXAS. AMOUNT REQUESTED. REPRESENTS 25% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST AND 75% OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST, AND MATTHEW AND ZOE WILL BE PRESENTING. THANK YOU TEEN BOARD MEMBERS WHO WILL PRESENT. THANK YOU. PERFECT. OKAY, GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS ZOE SANCHEZ. MY NAME IS MATTHEW WOOTEN, AND WE'RE BOTH RISING SENIORS AT IMAGINE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF NORTH TEXAS. WE ALSO SERVE ON THE MCKINNEY YMCA BOARD OF MANAGEMENT. MOST PEOPLE THINK THE Y IS JUST A GYM. IN REALITY, IT'S SO MUCH MORE WITH YOUTH SPORTS. THE LIVESTRONG PROGRAM BENEFITING CANCER SURVIVORS TO YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT. THE Y HAS A PROGRAM FOR EVERYONE. SIX YEARS AGO, I STEPPED INTO A ROOM FULL OF UPPERCLASSMEN PASSIONATELY DEBATING ON TOPICS. EXCUSE ME, 11 YEAR OLD ME HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT FIRST YEAR OF YMCA YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT WASN'T EASY, BUT IN TURN, IT HAS SHAPED THE COURSE OF MY LIFE. YMCA YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT TURNED THE NERDY LITTLE KID INTO THE PERSON I AM TODAY. I DIDN'T JUST LEARN PUBLIC SPEAKING, DEBATING, OR NETWORKING. I LEARNED HOW TO BE A LEADER, HOW TO SERVE, AND HOW TO TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT.

THE Y'S YOUTH PROGRAMS HAVE SHAPED MY LIFE, AND I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO STAND HERE AND SERVE THEM TODAY. MATTHEW AND I LATER DECIDED TO GIVE BACK TO THE PROGRAM THAT GAVE US BOTH SO MUCH. WE ARE NOW BOARD MEMBERS FOR THE MCKINNEY YMCA AND ON THE BOARD. WE'VE GOTTEN TO WORK WITH PLENTY OF AMAZING PEOPLE THAT ALL HAVE THE SAME GOAL SUPPORTING PEOPLE AND SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY WITH THESE PEOPLE. WE HAVE RAISED $100,000 FOR THE COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS AND FOR THE YMCA PROGRAMS. IN FACT, MATTHEW AND I RAISED $1,000 IN ONE NIGHT WITH THE HELP OF SOME OF OUR YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT FRIENDS. TODAY, WE ARE ASKING FOR A $25,000 GRANT TO REMODEL A COMMUNITY FOCUSED PLAYGROUND ON PAGE 13 OF THE APPLICATION PACKET IS A SITE MAP WITH THE LOCATION OF OUR PROPERTY CONVENIENTLY ALONG THE STONEBRIDGE RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD WALKING TRAIL. AFTER 25 YEARS OF USE BY FAMILIES IN MCKINNEY, AS OF 2021, IT UNFORTUNATELY NO LONGER BECAME SAFE. THIS GRANT WILL COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE $30,000 OF ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS, IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER GRANT OF $5,000. WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED. IN TURN, WE PLAN TO SEE IT OPENED AND IN USE BY OUR COMMUNITY IN 2025, COMPLEMENTED WITH A COVERED SEATING AREA. THIS WILL NOT JUST BE A PLAYGROUND, BUT A SPACE FOR EVENTS SUCH AS BIRTHDAY PARTIES.

THE Y ALSO HOSTS A VARIETY OF OUTDOOR SPORTS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE Y SPONSORED SOCCER GAMES TO PUBLIC SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY MEETS RUNNING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE PROPERTY, GIVING PARENTS ANOTHER OUTLET TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUTH ATHLETES. THE YMCA PRIORITIZES KIDS AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THIS PLAYGROUND IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST THE MEMBERS OF THE YMCA.

HAVING THIS PLAYGROUND GIVES BOTH KIDS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE YMCA AN OPPORTUNITY TO

[01:45:01]

EXPLORE INDEPENDENT AND FREE THINKING, AS WELL AS EXERCISE THEIR SOCIAL SKILLS. SO THE OUTCOME OF BUILDING A NEW PLAYGROUND WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WHERE FAMILIES ACROSS THE YMCA AND MCKINNEY CAN SAFELY GATHER. THERE ARE MANY PHYSICAL BENEFITS TO. IT FOSTERS A HEALTHY UPBRINGING OF KIDS AND MOST OF ALL, PROVIDES THEM A SAFE WAY TO DO SO. THE YMCA'S PROGRAMS HELP DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION. THIS PLAYGROUND WAS WILL BE A TOOL FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, AND IT ENCOURAGES ENGAGEMENT WITH OTHERS. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A PLAYGROUND. THIS IS AN INVESTMENT THAT SUPPORTS OUR YOUTH AND OUR COMMUNITY. THE Y IS FOR ALL AND THIS PLAYGROUND WILL BE FOR ALL. WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL SHAPE HEALTHY FUTURES FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN. JUST AS THE Y HAS SHAPED WHO WE ARE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION. WE'RE OPEN TO QUESTIONS. WELL, I COMMEND BOTH OF YOU FOR PRESENTING. GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. GREAT. GREAT JOB, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THIS AGENDA ITEM OR DISCUSSION COMMENTS. SO THERE'S A INSIDE THE DRAWING ON PAGE 13 THAT YOU HAD HIRED HIGHLIGHTED. I KNOW WE CAN'T SEE IT UP HERE, BUT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A BUILDING. OR IS THAT A PAVILION RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLAYGROUND? YES SIR. PAVILION. YEAH. THERE'S A COVERED SEATING AREA, IT'S LIKE A STONE AREA WITH A PAVILION, SO. OKAY, SO THAT PART'S FINE. YES SIR. RIGHT. THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND. YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. IN THE APPLICATION, I READ WHEN YOU SAID IT'S BEEN CLOSED SINCE 2021. YES, SIR. WE'RE IN 2024, SO THAT'S QUITE A LONG TIME. AND YOU GUYS DO A LOT OF IGALA AS YOU GUYS RAISE A LOT OF MONEY. SO WHY WAS THIS PARK NOT EVER A PART OF SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID? I MEAN, YOU GOT 5000 FROM ENCORE WIRE. SO HOW COME YOU GUYS HAVEN'T SAID. I MEAN, IT'S BEEN SINCE 2021. IT'S A GOOD PARK. SO YOU RAISE MONEY EVERY YEAR. HOW COME YOU GUYS HAVEN'T TRIED TO TAKE SOME OF THAT MONEY FROM EACH YEAR TO PUT INTO THIS PARK? SO YOU CAN GET IT OPEN? YES. SO THE MONEY WE RAISED THIS YEAR, THE $100,000 THAT ME AND MATTHEW WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT, ALL OF THAT MONEY SOLELY WENT INTO THE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT THE YMCA PROVIDES FOR KIDS. SO I THEN GO THROUGH THE PROGRAMS LIKE ME AND MATTHEW DID, EVEN IF THEY'RE AT A DIFFERENT ECONOMIC AND LIKE DIFFERENT, LIKE SITUATIONS WITH THEIR FAMILY. SURE. SO IT WAS ALL FOR PROVIDING THEM THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND LESS OF TRYING TO IMPROVE THE YMCA, HENCE WHY WE'RE HERE. AND IN RESPONSE TO THE OTHER PART OF THE QUESTION WHY IT'S BEEN TAKEN SO LONG, I THINK I'LL PASS THAT OFF TO SOME OF OUR UPPER LEADERSHIP. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHY THAT PLAYGROUND WASN'T MAINTAINED SINCE 2021, TYPICALLY IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD DAY CAMPS THAT PARTICIPATE IN OUR LOCATION AT THE YMCA BRANCHES. AFTER COVID AND THE SHUTDOWN OF OUR BRANCH, THE CAMPS WERE THEN REMOVED AND PLACED INTO, ESSENTIALLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AROUND MCKINNEY ISD. SO WHEN THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF MCKINNEY, IT WAS ALSO REMOVED FROM OUR BUDGET. SO THE MONEY THAT WE TYPICALLY HAD BUDGETED AND ALLOTTED FOR THINGS LIKE THE UPKEEP OF THE PLAYGROUND FOR OUR DAY CAMP PARTICIPATION WAS ALSO REMOVED AS WELL. AND THEN AGAIN AFTER COVID AND JUST NOT UTILIZING THESE CAMPS, IT CONTINUED TO FALL INTO DISREPAIR. SO ARE YOU BACK HAVING THE CAMPS AT THE LOCATIONS WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY WITH THE CAMPS BACK IN THE LOCATION, BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A VITAL PART OF OUR COMMUNITY IN THE AREA, WE DID WANT TO FIND A WAY TO TRY AND BRING THAT PLAYGROUND BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE AGAIN, AS OUR TEEN BOARD MEMBERS POINTED OUT, IT IS ALONG THE STONE BRIDGE PATH THAT GOES ACROSS AROUND INTO THE ADRIATIC AREA. THAT IS A BIG UP AND COMING AREA AS WELL, YOU HAVE APARTMENTS AND EVERYTHING IN THE AREA, SO FOR THAT, FOR THAT PURPOSE, WE WANTED TO GET IT BACK UP AND RUNNING FOR THE COMMUNITY. YEAH. SO DOES THAT MEAN THE SAME AS WE TOLD THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB? ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO THE BOARD FOR ASKING FOR MONEY TO HAVE SOME SORT OF SKIN IN THE GAME, WHICH YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, GOT A LITTLE BIT OF DONATION FROM, FROM ONE PERSON. SO JUST I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, YOU GUYS WILL RAISE A LOT OF MONEY, WHICH IS A GREAT CAUSE. WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE SOME OF THAT FUNDS YOU GUYS JUST TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO DO THIS PARK. WE WANT TO GET IT REVITALIZED. SO HERE'S OUR PART OF IT. AND THEN COME BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND I ALSO SAW THAT YOU SAID THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MAINLY FOR THE KIDS CAMPS AND ALL THAT, BUT AS PART OF US, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO SEE THE OPEN SPACES OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND SAID THAT IT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ONLY IF YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS WEREN'T DOING A PROGRAM THERE. SO TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THOSE HOURS AND WHAT WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE IF I'M IF I'M RUNNING THROUGH AND I WANT TO USE IT OR WHATEVER YOU GUYS HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON AND I'M NOT A MEMBER OF THE WHY CAN I NOT USE IT? NO, ABSOLUTELY. AGAIN, THIS IS BUILT FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO AGAIN, AS FAR AS HOURS GO, JUST TO ENSURE AGAIN, LIKE A SAFETY ASPECT OF IT, WOULDN'T WANT TO SIT THERE AND SAY IT'S OPEN TILL 11. YOU DON'T WANT ANYBODY OUT THERE IN THE DARK. I THINK TYPICAL MCKINNEY PARK HOURS, SUNRISE TO SUNSET WOULD PROBABLY BE LIKE A REASONABLE THING TO POST ON A SIGN. WE DO UTILIZE IT. IN THE PAST, WE HAVE UTILIZED IT FOR OUR CHILD WATCH PROGRAM. THAT IS NOT A DAYCARE PROGRAM. THAT'S JUST A PROGRAM WHERE THE PARENTS AND THE MEMBERS WHO COME IN TO WORK OUT CAN UTILIZE OR LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN THERE WHILE THEY GO HAVE SOME FREE TIME. WE TAKE THEM. WE'RE ONLY OPEN TILL 1245 AGAIN. WHEN WE DO TAKE THEM OUT, IT'S 30 MINUTE INCREMENTS. IT'S

[01:50:05]

NOT A VERY LONG TIME. IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM OUR BRANCH. WE WON'T TAKE THEM OUT IN THE EVENING TIME SO OUTSIDE OF THE ALLOTTED 30 MINUTES, WE CHOOSE TO TAKE THEM OUT. MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THAT PARK IS STILL UTILIZED FOR THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF THOSE 30 MINUTES. AGAIN, TO BE SAFE, WE WOULD ALWAYS ENSURE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE ON THAT PLAYGROUND. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, AGAIN, IT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I'LL GET A MOTION. THANK YOU. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED. MOVED BY JOY. SECOND. SECOND BY DAVID. GREAT JOB GUYS. BY THE WAY. THANK YOU.
