[00:10:07]

UPDATE OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT TO. THANK YOU, MAYOR, TO OUR CITY COUNCIL, TO OUR PUBLIC AND ALSO THE MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE TODAY OF THE COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION. I WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU THE REPORT THAT IS KNOWN AS THE CAPER. EACH YEAR. I APOLOGIZE, I'M SHIRLEY TO BEST COMMUNITY SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR AND ADMINISTRATOR OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. EACH YEAR WE COME TO YOU IN AUGUST AFTER A LONG PROCESS THAT BEGINS IN FEBRUARY, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO, PARTNERSHIPS, HOW ARE WE ARE UTILIZING THE GRANT THROUGH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF KNOWN AS HUD. AND SO WHAT WE'RE COMING TO YOU TODAY IS TO JUST GIVE YOU A OVERVIEW, RECAP, NOT ONLY OF WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE AND WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT ALSO THE PARTNERSHIPS. THE CAPER IS KNOWN AS A YEAR END REPORT THAT STARTS IN THE SAME FISCAL YEAR THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CITY. IT IS FROM OCTOBER THE 1ST THROUGH SEPTEMBER THE 30TH. SO WE RECENTLY ENDED THAT. YOU HAVE APPOINTED A SEVEN MEMBER GROUP CALLED THE COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION. AND FROM FEBRUARY TO AUGUST THEY GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO NOT ONLY PROVIDE FUNDING RESOURCES IN HOUSING, BUT ALSO IN PUBLIC SERVICES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVE, THAT WE RECEIVE FROM CDBG ARE UNDER A NATIONAL OBJECTIVE, AND THAT IS SIMPLY TO BENEFIT LOW TO MID INCOME PERSONS, WHICH END UP BENEFITING THE ENTIRE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THE ELEMENTS OF THIS PROCESS INCLUDES GOALS AND OUTCOMES. NOT ONLY DOES IT INCLUDE RACIAL AND ETHNIC COMPOSITION OF BENEFICIARIES, DETERMINING WHETHER WE'RE SERVING CHILDREN, THOSE OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS OR ETHNICITIES, BUT ALSO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, OR IN THIS CASE, ATTAINABLE HOUSING. WORKING WITH THE HOMELESS AND SPECIAL NEEDS PUBLIC HOUSING. AS WE WORK WITH OUR MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY MONITORING TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE USING THE FUNDS EFFECTIVELY, ETHICALLY AND USEFULLY FOR OUR CITY. BEING ABLE TO HAVE SUBRECIPIENTS, WHICH ARE KNOWN AS OUR PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES, AND BEING ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND PROCUREMENT TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE TIMELY, AND ALSO ENSURING THAT OUR AUDITS ARE IN FAVOR. SO, OF COURSE, WE KNOW THAT ANYTIME WE HAVE FEDERAL FUNDING, WE HAVE REGULATORY AND STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. I AM PLEASED TO TELL YOU THAT EACH YEAR WE MEET THIS REQUIREMENT IN AUGUST, NOT ONLY THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT ALSO WITH OUR CITY AUDITORS AS WELL, NO MORE THAN 20% OF OUR ENTIRE GRANT IS USED FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, WHICH ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TRAINING, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE GRANT FORWARD IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS, AND ALSO BEING ABLE TO TALK TO THE PUBLIC TO LET THEM KNOW NOT ONLY WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT ALSO TO ASK WHAT ARE THE NEEDS? EVERY FIVE YEARS WE HAVE THIS ASK KNOWN AS THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN, AND WE ARE COMING TO THE END OF THAT FIVE YEAR PROCESS, WHICH BEGAN DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND SO WE WILL BE COMING TOGETHER TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IN THE NEXT YEAR. THIS IS SHOWING YOU THE DISTRIBUTION THAT WE'VE HAD FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. AGAIN, 65% OF OUR FUNDS IS USED IN HOUSING. YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT OUR HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM. ALSO OUR PUBLIC SERVICES PROGRAM, AS WELL AS OTHER RESOURCES. THIS IS LETTING YOU KNOW SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE FUNDED WITH CDBG, CASA OF COLLIN COUNTY COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AT CALDWELL COMMUNITY LIFELINE HOPE STORE, WORKING WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PERSONS. SHILOH PLACE BEING ABLE TO ASSIST AT RISK MOTHERS TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. EXCUSE ME.

TRANSITIONAL SUPPORT, THE SAMARITAN INN, AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, OTHER COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS SUCH AS INFRASTRUCTURE. NOT ONLY ARE THESE PROGRAMS TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE EAST PART OF THE OLDER PART OF OUR COMMUNITY, BUT EVERY DISTRICT THAT WE'VE HAD THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY HAS UTILIZED IN SOME FORM OUR CDBG FUNDS. WE HAD ONE PROGRAM THAT DECIDED THEY DID NOT WANT TO USE THOSE FUNDS. AND EACH YEAR, ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE THAT WE DO NOT USE ARE JUST ROLLED BACK INTO THE NEXT PROGRAM YEAR. SO CURRENTLY THIS YEAR, WE ARE USING LAST YEAR'S FUNDS. THIS IS SHOWING YOU JUST BRIEFLY WHAT OUR REGULAR ALLOCATION IS. RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE IN THIS PAST YEAR, $961,099 AND APPROXIMATELY 179,500 HAS BEEN USED IN THE PAST TO LEVERAGE OUR CDBG PROGRAM, WHICH IS KNOWN AS OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANT. AND WE THANK YOU FOR THIS ALLOCATION. AND WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE INCREASE THAT WE

[00:15:04]

HAVE RECEIVED IN THIS COMING YEAR. WHAT ARE SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD? WE'VE HAD CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WITH THEIR RESIDENTS WHAT ARE THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH TRANSITION IN TERMS OF OUR HOMELESSNESS. WE HAD THE MAYOR'S TASK FORCE THAT NOW HAS TRANSITIONED INTO THE MCKINNEY HOMELESS COALITION. AND THEN ALL DURING THAT PROCESS, WE STILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HUD FOR TRAINING AND ALSO MEETING OUR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

ASSISTING OUR HOMELESSNESS IS KNOWN AS CONTINUUM OF CARE IN HUD TERMS, AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO NOT ONLY ASSIST NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR THOSE THAT ARE WORKING WITH HOMELESS, BUT EVEN THOSE THAT ARE AT RISK. SO WE HAVE CITY FUNDS IN WHICH WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO LEVERAGE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH SECURITY DEPOSITS. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE LIFT FUND TO BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE TRANSITION FOR DIFFERENT RESOURCES, WHETHER THEY'RE GOING FROM THE SAMARITAN IN OR MOVING INTO ANOTHER LOCATION, SUCH AS A NEW APARTMENT. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS NOT ONLY WITH OUR CITY FUNDS AND OUR FEDERAL FUNDS, BUT ALSO THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIPS AND IN-KIND SUPPORT THAT WE'VE HAD. IN OUR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU JUST A PICTORIAL VIEW OF SOME OF THE SERVICES THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE OVER THE YEARS, BEING ABLE TO ALSO TALK ABOUT FAIR HOUSING. ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT WITH THIS IS NOT ONLY ARE WE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS IN TERMS OF WHAT'S REQUIRED UNDER THE GRANT, BUT IT GIVES STANDS TO BE ABLE TO LET THE CITY KNOW THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE A PRICE POINT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING FOR ANY STAGE OF A PERSON'S LIFE, FOR ANY INCOME. AND SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS THROUGH NOT ONLY OUR CITY PROGRAMS IN TERMS OF HOUSING SERVICES, BUT ALSO AS WE REPORT ON THE CAPER. IT ALSO INCLUDES WHAT WORKS FOR THE MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY, ALSO OUR OTHER RESOURCES AND PARTNERS THAT WE'VE HAD AS WELL. SO AS WE COME TO A CLOSE, WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITH OUR HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM, BEING ABLE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE CELEBRATED NATIONALLY 50 YEARS IN AUGUST, AND ALSO JUST LAST MONTH, 20 YEARS IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WE'VE BEEN ABLE NOT ONLY TO ASSIST OUR SENIORS, OUR FAMILIES, OUR INDIVIDUALS. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE SUPPORT THROUGH OUR PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, BEING ABLE TO SHOW THE PUBLIC THAT WE ARE UTILIZING THESE FUNDS THE WAY THEY DESERVE AND NEED TO. SO ON BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANTS AND ALL OF OUR CITIZENS AND OUR COMMUNITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMISSION, WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE, AND I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU

EXCUSE ME. THAT'S THE SAME ITEM. 240016 SUPP. TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR AUTO, MOTORCYCLE, TRUCK OR BOAT RENTAL OR SALES. THAT'S A HUFF.

HUFFINES KIA MCKINNEY. LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY AND WEST WHYTE AVENUE, OKAY. OH, YOU CAN DO THIS ONE. PARDON ME. ALL RIGHT. CAITLIN SHEFFIELD, CHIEF PLANNER WITH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THIS IS A PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A AUTO MOTORCYCLE TRUCK, BOAT RENTAL, REPAIR FOR HUFFINES KIA. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DESIGN EXCEPTIONS WITH THIS REQUEST. ONE BEING A REDUCED LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG U.S.

HIGHWAY 75. EXCUSE ME? THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE IS TYPICALLY REQUIRED TO BE 30FT, AND WITH THIS REQUEST, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION TO TEN FEET. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN WITH ON OH, EXCUSE ME, ALONG U.S. HIGHWAY 75.

[00:25:05]

QUESTIONS AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL QUESTIONS. CAITLIN, CAN YOU GO TO THE ZOOMED OUT VERSION OF THIS? YES. I JUST IS WHERE YOU'RE STORING CARS. I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW CLOSE IS IT TO THE HOUSES. THE LEFT SIDE OF THEIR. LOOKS LIKE ON EXHIBIT. SEE, IT'S ABOUT 200FT FROM TO THE ROAD. JUST ONE SECOND. I PULL THAT UP, SIR. THERE IS A 200 FOOT BUFFER FROM THE VERY EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT. OR, EXCUSE ME, OF THE PAVEMENT OF THE PARKING AND THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE HERE. THAT'S A HEAVILY TREED AREA, THOUGH. IT IS. YES, SIR. YEAH, IT'S CREEK AND TREES AND AT LEAST SCREENED. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? JOHN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? YOU FILL OUT A CARD. I THINK YOU'RE IN SUPPORT OF THE ITEM. YES, SIR. I'LL SPEAK AS APPLICANT. MAYBE I CAN ADDRESS THIS. THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO MANIPULATE YOUR SLIDES. IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION, THE COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS IN YOUR PACKET. I LIKE TO DO THESE WHETHER OR NOT I'M MAKING A PRESENTATION OR NOT. LET'S SKIP ON TO THE RIGHT TO GO FORWARD. THE SPECIFIC QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED CONCERNING THIS PARTICULAR AREA. THIS IS THE FIRST APPROXIMATE 100 LINEAL FEET FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. THIS IS THE NEXT COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET. AND THEN THIS IS AT THE CORNER WHERE THERE'S THE MOTEL.

YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE AREA. ALL THE TREE MASSES ARE RANGED FROM 35 TO 50FT TALL. AND IT'S VERY THICK AND VERY DENSE. AND WE'RE KEEPING ALL OF IT FOR A LOT OF REASONS. ONE IS WE HAVE A AN EROSION HAZARD ZONE ALONG THE CREEK THAT WE PLANTED ORIGINALLY IN 2007, WHEN THE PROJECT WAS FIRST DONE. WE'RE KEEPING THAT IN PLACE. WE'RE EVEN LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY ENLARGING IT. AND THE ENGINEERING STAFF ASKED US TO DO THAT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND WE SAID, YES, WE'LL LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY BUILDINGS ON IT ANYWAY. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE PARKING, AND WE CAN DO THAT THROUGH THE ENGINEERING PROGRAM. BUT WE WANT TO KEEP THIS NATURAL. THE ROOT SYSTEM OF ALL THIS STUFF, THE VEGETATION, THE VINES, SHRUBBERY, ETC. THAT'S BACK THERE IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO TO PRESERVE THE BANK AND KEEP IT FROM ERODING.

AND YOU CANNOT SEE IT'S ACTUALLY MULTIFAMILY. IT'S ACROSS THE CREEK. YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THAT THROUGH THIS DENSE FOLIAGE. SO I JUST WANTED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. WE'VE TRIED TO LOOK AT ALL THAT STUFF. WE WANT TO PRESERVE IT AND KEEP IT IN PLACE. IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS CONCERNING ANYTHING THAT THE STAFF COVERED, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO RESPOND TO THAT ABOUT THE WAY WE'RE HANDLING THE SCREENING, WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE FENCING IS FOR ET-CETERA.

BUT IF YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THAT, WITH THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, I DON'T NEED TO JUST TAKE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SIR, THANK YOU. DON AND I WOULD LIKE TO ENDORSE THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU PASSED FOR MR. FRANKLIN. I WANTED HIM PAYING TAXES LIKE THE REST OF US. AMEN. IT WAS A MAD RUSH OF PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION. JUST DIDN'T GET TO SEE THAT. I ALREADY TRIED TO COLLECT, AND HE WOULDN'T LET ME. ALL RIGHT, SO NOBODY ELSE HAS. NOBODY HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, AND NOBODY HAS PRESENTED THEMSELVES WANTING TO SPEAK ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM FOR STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? THAT IS THE END OF OUR

[CITIZEN COMMENTS on Matters not on the Agenda]

REGULAR AGENDA AND PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. CITIZEN COMMENTS NOT ON AGENDA. I THINK WE HAD ONE, TWO. FIRST, LEE MOORE. HELLO. THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. I TOOK THIS YEAR OFF FROM COMING TO THIS COUNCIL TO ADDRESS SOME ISSUES IN MY OWN TOWN OF FAIRVIEW, AND TO WORK ON THE MANY ELECTIONS THIS YEAR. BUT BECAUSE I SHARE A ZIP CODE AND ISD AND A BORDER WITH MCKINNEY, I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO SPEAK ON SOME THINGS THAT CONCERN ME. BACK IN 2023, THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY VOTED DOWN BY 58 TO 42 A $200 MILLION BOND TO COVER EXPENSES TO EXPAND TKI TO ADD COMMERCIAL AIRLINE SERVICE IN THE COMMENTS DURING THE FEBRUARY 21ST CITY COUNCIL MEETING THAT YEAR, THE MAYOR HIMSELF SAID

[00:30:02]

THAT THE REASON FOR THE BOND WAS TO BE PUT ON THE BALLOT FOR A VOTE WAS BECAUSE, AND I QUOTE, LET'S LEAVE IT TO THE CITIZENS TO SPEAK WITH THEIR VOTE ON WHETHER THEY WANT COMMERCIAL SERVICE AT TKI. SO THE CITIZENS SPOKE, AND WHEN THE VOTE DIDN'T TURN OUT AS EXPECTED, THE TUNE SUDDENLY CHANGED. AND NO LONGER WAS IT LET THE VOTERS KNOW BEST. BUT NOW THE VOTERS GOT IT WRONG.
