[Update on McKinney National Airport Eastside Infrastructure Project]
SHOW THAT WE HAVE ANYBODY WHO HAS SIGNED UP. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE RIGHT TO OUR WORK SESSION.ITEM 252690 UPDATE ON MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT EAST SIDE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT.
IT WAS ON. OKAY. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MARK HOLLOWAY, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY. JUST WE'VE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY IN FINANCE WITH THE BOND ISSUANCES THE
[00:05:01]
LAST, LAST FEW MONTHS. AND I WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE AN UPDATE, ESPECIALLY WITH WHERE THE AIRPORT IS, WHERE OUR DEBT ISSUANCES ARE, AND THEN KIND OF WHERE WE'RE HEADED FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER. SO WE'VE HAD TWO DISTINCT DEBT ISSUANCES THAT HAVE OCCURRED. AND THEN WE HAVE THE CITY'S NORMAL DEBT ISSUANCE FOR OUR CIP THAT IS ONGOING. I JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ALL OF THOSE. SO LET'S FIRST TALK ABOUT THE MCDC. THE PURPOSE OF THE FINANCING THAT THAT HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED WAS THE MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT EAST SIDE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT. THAT FINANCING WAS ABOUT $30 MILLION, WHERE WE ISSUED SALES TAX, REVENUE BONDS, SHORT DURATION SALES TAX, REVENUE, BONDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IMMEDIATELY CALLABLE. THE REASON THOSE THAT THAT CALL FEATURE IS ON THERE IS BECAUSE WE DO ANTICIPATE GETTING A LONG TERM TIFIA LOAN FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. EXPECTED APPROVAL IN 2026 THAT WOULD THEN BE USED TO REPAY THE SHORT TERM NOTES. SO WHAT ARE THE STATUS OF THAT FINANCING? COUNCIL AND BOARD APPROVAL? OCCURRED ON MARCH 18TH, AND THE FINANCING ACTUALLY CLOSED ON APRIL THE 15TH. SO THAT FINANCING IS CLOSED. $30 MILLION HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. MOVING ON TO THE EDC. TWO PURPOSES OF FINANCING FOR THE EDC DEBT, DEBT ISSUANCE. THERE WAS LAND PURCHASE AND THEN ALSO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT AT THE AIRPORT. THE AMOUNT OF THAT FUNDING FINANCING WAS $62.4 MILLION, WITH 40 MILLION OF THAT BEING LAND PURCHASE. THE 22.4 BALANCE BEING AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE. ONCE AGAIN, THOSE ARE SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS. WITH A 30 YEAR AMORTIZATION PERIOD. THE STATUS OF THAT FINANCING. COUNCIL AND BOARD APPROVAL OCCURRED ON MARCH 18TH. THOSE BONDS WERE SOLD ON APRIL THE 14TH. WE ORIGINALLY WANTED TO GO TO MARKET ON APRIL THE 8TH, BUT AS MOST OF YOU HAVE NOTICED, THE MARKET HAS BEEN VERY, VERY STRANGE PLACE TO BE FOR NOT JUST BONDS BUT FOR STOCKS AS WELL. SO COULD NOT GO TO THE MARKET ON APRIL THE 8TH.BUT THERE WAS A WINDOW THAT OPENED UP ON APRIL THE 14TH, AND WE WENT TO MARKET ON APRIL THE 14TH. WE WILL RECEIVE AND CLOSE ON THOSE FUNDS AT THE END OF THE MONTH AS WE INTENDED TO ORIGINALLY. SO APRIL 30TH WILL BE THE CLOSING DATE FOR THOSE. THERE. SO WE ALSO HAVE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S NORMAL FINANCINGS THAT ARE ALSO GOING ON. WE HAVE A GENERAL OBLIGATION AND THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION FOR CIP PROJECTS. THE CATEGORIES FOR THAT PUBLIC SAFETY, PARKS AND RECREATION, ROADS AND FACILITIES. THE FACILITIES BEING THE ROY AND HELEN HALL LIBRARY AND IMPACT. WE ALSO HAVE A WATER AND WASTEWATER FUNDING THAT I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. SO WE HAD 67 MILLION ON THE GEO AND CO SPLIT, 37 MILLION ON THE GEO AND 30 MILLION ON THE CO. AND THEN WE HAD $25 MILLION OF REVENUE BONDS ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER. SALE. THE STATUS OF THAT FINANCING. COUNCIL APPROVED THESE BONDS. THE PARAMETERS ORDINANCES FOR THESE BONDS ON MARCH 18TH. WE'VE HAD RATINGS CALLS. APRIL 16TH. THEY WENT VERY WELL. WE WILL BE GETTING THOSE RATINGS IN THE NEXT WEEK. AND THEN WE INTEND TO GO TO MARKET ON MAY 20TH AND THE 21ST, TWO DIFFERENT SALES, TWO DIFFERENT SALE DAYS FOR BOTH OF THOSE FINANCINGS. DO JUST WANT TO JUST DELVE INTO THOSE JUST ONE MORE TIME, JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE SELLING HERE. ON THE GENERAL OBLIGATION SIDE, IT'S ABOUT 37 MILLION. 11.5 MILLION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
THAT A LOT OF THAT IS FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING REFRESH. AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE PARKS BONDS. 2.5 MILLION FOR DESIGN AT TOWN LAKE. AND THEN ABOUT $23 MILLION IN ROAD ROAD AND STREET BONDS. THERE IS A REFUNDING WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AS WE GO TO MARKET.
AND WE DO SEE THAT THAT WILL BE A NET PRESENT VALUE SAVINGS OF ABOUT 2 MILLION, ABOUT $2 MILLION. THIS THE GENERAL OBLIGATION SUMMARY ABOUT 2020 YEAR AMORTIZATION CONSERVATIVE LEVEL DEBT SERVICE. AS FAR AS THE CEOS GO, WE'LL BE PACKAGED WITH THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. IT'S $30 MILLION. LIKE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL TIMES. THESE ARE RENOVATIONS AT ROY AND HELEN HALL. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE A PLANETARIUM HERE.
SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS RENOVATION. AND THEN ALSO ABOUT $10 MILLION FOR IMPACT. THIS WOULD BE UPGRADES TO THE THEATER AND THE RESTROOMS AND MEETING ROOMS. SAME AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE WITH CONSERVATIVE LEVEL DEBT SERVICE. ABOUT $25 MILLION IN WATER AND SEWER REVENUE
[00:10:06]
BONDS. AS YOU CAN SEE, 6.2 MILLION FOR JUST WATER IMPROVEMENTS, 14.6 FOR WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEN A COMBINED PROJECTS JUST A LITTLE OVER 4 MILLION TO MAKE UP THE $25 MILLION TOTAL. AND THEN HERE IS OUR TIME TABLE. YOU CAN SEE THE NEXT THING THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IS RECEIVING RATINGS. WE WILL RECEIVE HOPEFULLY ALL OF THEM BY APRIL THE 28TH. WE MAY RECEIVE SOME ACTUALLY THIS THIS WEEK A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. BUT BUT BETWEEN THE TWO RATING AGENCIES S&P AND MOODY'S, THEN THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE GOING TO MARKET MAY 20TH AND 21ST WITH CLOSING BEING IN MID JUNE. AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR FINANCINGS. MARK ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY. 11.5 MILLION FROM A 2019 AUTHORIZATION. IS THERE ANY REMAINING ON 2019 OR DOES THAT EXHAUST THAT AUTHORIZATION? IT ALMOST EXHAUST THAT AUTHORIZATION. AND I'VE GOT THAT RIGHT HERE. SO WE HAVE ABOUT. LET'S SEE, $16.5 MILLION REMAINING. THIS WOULD LEAVE $5 MILLION OF THE 2019 AUTHORIZATION. WITH ALL OF THE 2024 AUTHORIZATIONS STILL TO BE ISSUED. OKAY. DO WE HAVE DO WE HAVE PLANS FOR THAT 5 MILLION OF REMAINING AUTHORIZATION, OR IS THAT STILL TBA? ACTUALLY, WE DO ANTICIPATE ISSUING ALL OF THAT PROBABLY NEXT FISCAL YEAR. OKAY. FOR, FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, WE WOULD ACTUALLY BE INTO THE 2024 BONDS FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU. SO THE 2019 AUTHORIZATION WOULD ALMOST BE COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED AT THAT POINT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MARK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 252691 UPDATE ON THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. MAY 3RD, 2025[Update on the City of McKinney May 3, 2025 General Election]
GENERAL ELECTION. DEMETRIUS. GOOD EVENING OR AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I AM TANISHA SPARKMAN, THE DEPUTY CITY SECRETARY, AND I WILL BE PROVIDING YOU ALL WITH AN UPDATE ON THE CURRENT MAY 3RD GENERAL ELECTION THAT IS GOING ON. AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED EARLIER, TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF EARLY VOTING, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HOST EARLY VOTING HERE AT THE NEW CITY HALL. SO WITH THAT, SOME IMPORTANT DATES JUST TO LOOK AT AND TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. OBVIOUSLY NOW WE'RE SAYING WE'RE ON APRIL 22ND, WHICH IS THE BEGINNING PERIOD OF EARLY VOTING, WHICH WILL SPAN FROM APRIL 22ND TO THE 29TH, WITH ELECTION DAY BEING HELD ON MAY 3RD. THE ELECTION CANVASS IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR MAY 12TH. WE HAVE THAT AS A TENTATIVE DATE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE THE RESULTS BACK FROM THE COUNTY BEFORE WE CAN CERTIFY THE ELECTION. WE GENERALLY RECEIVE THOSE BACK WITHIN A WEEK, BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE THAT SET TENTATIVELY. UPON RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION, ON MAY 20TH WILL BE THE FIRST ROUND OF MEMBER CEREMONIES. BARRING THAT, WE DO OR DO NOT HAVE A RUNOFF. IN THE MEMBER CEREMONIES, WE WILL BE THANKING THOSE MEMBERS ON COUNCIL WHO WILL BE ROLLING OFF, AS WELL AS SWEARING IN AND WELCOMING THOSE NEW MEMBERS WHO WILL BE APPOINTED TO COUNCIL, WHO HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO COUNCIL. JUNE 3RD. PER THE CHARTER, WILL BE THE FIRST THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE. WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE COUNCIL ELECT A NEW MAYOR PRO TEM IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS A RUNOFF. THE RUNOFF ELECTION WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 7TH, AND THE RUNOFF CANVASS IN MEMBER CEREMONIES WILL BE HELD TENTATIVELY ON JUNE 17TH. AS YOU SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS A SLATE OF ELECTION CANDIDATES THAT ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING FOR SEATS FOR OFFICE. WE HAVE FOUR VYING FOR THE SEAT OF MAYOR, TWO FOR DISTRICT THREE, FIVE FOR AT LARGE ONE AND OUR INCUMBENT UNOPPOSED DISTRICT ONE REPRESENTATIVE JUSTIN BELLER IS GOING TO BE WITH US FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS AGO. JUSTIN, I THINK HE'S GOING TO WIN. EASY. OH, NO. HE NEEDS ONE VOTE. HE NEEDS ONE VOTE. GOT IT THIS MORNING. HE GOT ONE. NEXT VIEWING. THE CITY OWNED AND OPERATED VOTING LOCATIONS. THERE ARE EIGHT LOCATIONS THAT ARE CITY OWNED. ALL OF THOSE, MINUS THE SENIOR RECREATION CENTER, WILL BE HOSTING EARLY VOTING AS WELL AS ELECTION DAY. SENIOR RECREATION CENTER WILL ONLY BE HOSTING ELECTION DAY VOTING. AND THEN ONE OF THE ONE NOTED THAT IS A NON CITY OWNED OPERATED FACILITY IS COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION, WHICH WILL ALWAYS HOST EARLY VOTING AS WELL AS ELECTION DAY VOTING. ONE THING THAT YOU MAY NOTE ON THE MAPPING OF THE LOCATIONS IS THAT OLD SETTLERS AND THE HALL LIBRARY DOWNTOWN ARE NO LONGER[00:15:05]
NOTED FOR ELECTIONS. FOR THIS GO AROUND, BECAUSE THE NEW CITY HALL COMPLEX HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED, WE ARE HOSTING THE ELECTIONS HERE, WHICH WILL ALLOW THOSE TWO FACILITIES TO CONTINUE THEIR PROGRAMING AS WELL AS TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. JUST AS A NOTE, THESE ARE THE EARLY VOTING LOCATIONS FOR CITY OWNED LOCATIONS. FOR EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY AS WELL AS ELECTION DAY ONLY. AND THE THING TO NOTE ON THIS SLIDE IS THE PLACEMENT OF SIGNS IN THE TIME ALLOCATED FOR THEM TO BE TO BE ERECTED. FOR EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY LOCATIONS, SIGNAGE CAN GO UP AS EARLY AS APRIL 21ST AND HAVE TO BE REMOVED BY MAY 5TH, THE DAY AFTER THE END OF VOTING ON ELECTION DAY AT SENIOR RECREATION CENTER. THEY CAN BE POSTED FROM MAY 2ND TO MAY 4TH.AND THIS IMAGE RIGHT HERE IS AN ILLUSTRATION FOR STANDARD SIGNAGE DETAIL. AND THIS SHOWS THE HEIGHT, WIDTH AND LENGTH OF A SIGN, AS WELL AS THE MEASUREMENTS FROM SOIL TO THE BASE OF THE SIGN, AS WELL AS FROM SOIL TO THE TOP OF THE SIGN, AND JUST SOME NOTES OFF TO THE SIDE. THE SIGN MUST MEET THESE HEIGHT, HEIGHT AND THICKNESS REQUIREMENTS. ONE PERSON A PERSON MAY HOLD NO MORE THAN ONE SIGN, AND NO MORE THAN ONE POSTED SIGN WILL BE MOUNTED TO EACH H FRAME. THIS IS FOR LOCATIONS THAT ARE CITY OWNED. AND WE'VE HAD THERE'S ALSO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE ORDINANCE. IF PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS RELATED TO ELECTIONEERING OR SIGNAGE POSTING AND ALL OF THAT THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE. IF YOU GO TO THE MCKINNEY TEXAS.ORG WEBSITE, THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE HOME PAGE FOR ELECTIONS. YOU CAN SELECT THAT AND IT WILL GIVE YOU ALL OF THAT INFORMATION RELATED TO ELECTIONS AND ELECTIONEERING. THE DO'S AND THE DON'TS AND VOTING LOCATION HERE AT CITY HALL. AGAIN, WE ARE VERY PROUD AND EXCITED TO BE HOSTING THE FIRST EARLY VOTING AND VOTING IN CITY HALL IN THE NEW FACILITY. IT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE NEW EVENT HALL, WHICH IS ON THE CITY HALL ADMINISTRATION PORTION OF THE BUILDING. AND AS YOU ENTER INTO THE BUILDING FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE, THERE WILL BE SIGNAGE TO GUIDE YOU TO THE NEW EVENT SPACE, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE FIRST FLOOR BACK BEHIND THE STAIRS. NEXT IMAGE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE CITY HALL SIGNS AND ELECTIONEERING ACTIVITIES MAPPING. AND IF YOU LOOK TO THE EAST OF CITY HALL PROPERTY, YOU WILL SEE A LARGE HIGHLIGHTED AREA. THIS IS THE ELECTIONEERING SIGNS AREA. THIS IS WHERE SIGNS ARE PERMITTED TO BE POSTED AT THE CITY HALL CAMPUS. AND THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT THOSE THAT SIGNAGE SIGNAGE IS ALLOWED TO BE POSTED IN THIS AREA. JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE BUILDING YOU WILL SEE TWO NOTED SPACES, ONE WITH A BOLD RED RECTANGULAR SHAPE. THIS IS THE DESIGNATED AREA FOR CURBSIDE VOTING, AND JUST TO THE NORTH OF THAT IS THE DESIGNATED PARKING SPACES FOR VOTING. VOTING PARKING SPACES FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMING INTO THE BUILDING TO VOTE. AND WITH THAT, ELECTION DAY IS SATURDAY, MAY 3RD, FROM 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M. THESE ARE THE SEATS THAT ARE UP FOR ELECTION AND I NOW STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. ASSUMING THERE'S A RUNOFF.
YOU KNOW, SIGNS ARE TO BE TAKEN DOWN DAY AFTER AN ELECTION, PUT UP DAY BEFORE AN ELECTION. IF THERE'S A RUNOFF, OF COURSE, THERE'S A PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN MAY 3RD AND WHEN THE RUNOFF STARTS. WHAT ARE TO HAPPEN WITH THE SIGNS FOR THOSE IN THE RUNOFF FOR ANY SIGNAGE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING. AND MR. HAUSER COULD PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M. IF I'M SPEAKING INCORRECTLY.
THOSE SIGNS WILL STILL NEED TO BE REMOVED BY MAY 5TH. AND THEN DURING THE PERIOD WHEN EARLY VOTING STARTS, THAT TIME WILL BEGIN AGAIN. SO WHENEVER THE FIRST DAY OF EARLY VOTING IS FOR THE RUNOFF, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO POST THE DAY BEFORE AND THEN REMOVE. HAVE THOSE SIGNS REMOVED BY JUNE 8TH. GOT IT. CORRECT. AND AM I TO ASSUME IF THEY'RE NOT REMOVED ON MAY? MAY 4TH THAT OR FIFTH THAT WE WILL REMOVE THEM AND THE CITY WILL REMOVE THEM IF THEY ARE NOT REMOVED BY MAY 5TH. BY MAY 5TH, THEY'LL BE PICKED UP. THEY'LL BE PICKED UP. OKAY. SO JUST SO EVERY CANDIDATE KNOWS THEY NEED TO DO THAT OR THEY'LL BE BUYING NEW SIGNS. YES, SIR. FOR RUNOFF. OKAY. I THINK THAT'S IN THE CANDIDATE PACKETS AS WELL. YES. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANKS. I'M STILL HERE. ITEM 252692.
[Update on the 2025 Boards & Commissions Annual Appointments Program]
UPDATE ON THE 2025 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ANNUAL APPOINTMENT PROGRAM. OKAY, I'M STILL HERE.AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE. A QUICK UPDATE FOR THE 2526 BOARDS AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENT PROCESS. THIS IS A TIME OF YEAR WHEN APPLICANTS, OR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING ON THE BOARD OF COMMISSION, CAN SUBMIT APPLICATIONS AND BE CONSIDERED
[00:20:02]
FOR APPOINTMENT FOR A BOARD OF COMMISSION. LOOKING AT THIS SLIDE, THERE ARE CURRENTLY APPROXIMATELY 21 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE PLEASURE OF BEING ABLE TO APPOINT. THOSE POINT UP, APPOINT PEOPLE TO THOSE BOARDS. OKAY. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE APPOINTMENTS PROGRAM CYCLE. THIS IS A ANNUAL THING THAT I THINK OUR OFFICE IS ALWAYS WORKING IN. EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T NOTE JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, WHICH IT SEEMS TO BE OUR TWO OFF MONTHS, WE ARE STILL PLANNING FOR THE BEGINNING OF MARCH AND PLANNING FOR THE INFORMATIONAL UPDATES, WHICH IS A PERIOD THAT WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW. INFORMATIONAL UPDATES IS WHEN THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE WILL ATTEND MEETINGS FOR THE VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO PROVIDE THEM AN UPDATE ON THE IMPORTANT DATES THAT ARE COMING UP. AS FAR AS APPLICATION DEADLINES. ONBOARDING, AS WELL AS WE PROVIDE THEM WITH THE INFORMATION FOR THEIR BOARD ROSTER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT MEMBERS WILL BE ROLLING OFF OR NOT ROLLING OFF, BUT WHAT MEMBERS WILL BE EXPIRED, THEIR TERMS WILL BE EXPIRING, AND WHETHER THOSE MEMBERS ARE AVAILABLE OR ABLE TO BE REAPPOINTED. THE APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION WILL BE FRIDAY, JUNE 20TH. AT THAT TIME, BETWEEN JULY AND AUGUST, INTERVIEW SESSIONS WILL BE SET UP. THERE ARE CURRENTLY SIX INTERVIEW SESSIONS THAT ARE SET UP BETWEEN JULY AND AUGUST THAT CANDIDATES WILL BE ABLE TO INTERVIEW WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THESE SESSIONS TO PITCH WHY THEY SHOULD BE APPOINTED TO THESE BOARDS, AND WHY THEY'RE GREAT FOR THOSE. AUGUST 26TH IS THE APPOINTMENT DATE FOR COUNCIL TO THEN MAKE YOUR DECISIONS AND YOUR APPOINTMENTS TO THE VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, WHETHER YOU'RE REAPPOINTING OR APPOINTING NEW MEMBERS TO ANY OF THOSE BOARDS. SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER WILL BE THE ONBOARDING PERIOD. ONBOARDING PERIOD CONSISTS OF THOSE NEW AND NEW, NEWLY APPOINTED, AS WELL AS THE REAPPOINTED MEMBERS GOING THROUGH OPEN GOVERNMENT TRAINING, AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL BOARD TRAINING THAT MAY BE REQUIRED BY THOSE SPECIFIC BOARDS. ALL OF THOSE TRAININGS NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY OCTOBER 1ST, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE START OF THE NEW TERM. AND THEN FROM NOVEMBER OR NOVEMBER THROUGH DECEMBER, AND SOMETIMES EVEN AFTER THAT, OUR OFFICE WILL WORK WITH THE BOARD CLERKS FOR THE VARIOUS BOARDS TO ENSURE THAT COMPLIANCE IS COMPLETE, MEANING THAT ALL OF THEIR TRAININGS ARE COMPLETED. THEY'VE DONE ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO FOR THE BOARDS, AND WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THAT. AND NEXT, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AS THE COUNCIL IS MAKING THEIR APPOINTMENTS FOR THE VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, THE APPOINTMENTS THAT YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT ARE FOR REGULAR MEMBERS AS WELL AS ALTERNATE MEMBERS. AND WE DEFINE REGULAR MEMBER AS ACTIVE, BUT ALSO ONE WHO IS EXPECTED TO BE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE, ENGAGES WITH STAFF AND IS ABLE TO MAKE DETERMINATIONS AS ASSIGNED AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNCIL AND ALTERNATE MEMBERS SERVE IN A RESERVE STATUS, SERVING IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGULAR MEMBER. BUT BEING AN ALTERNATE ALSO PROVIDES A REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE MEMBERS TO LEARN ABOUT THE BOARD, UNDERSTAND THE WORKINGS OF THE BOARD, AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH IT, AND IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY OF THERE BEING A VACANCY IN THE REGULAR OF A REGULAR MEMBER WITH COUNCIL SEEING FIT, THEY COULD BE PROMOTED FROM AN ALTERNATE TO A REGULAR MEMBER, AND THE SERVICE PERIOD OF THE APPOINTMENTS THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW WILL BE OCTOBER 1ST, 2025 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2027.UNLESS THE FEELING IS OF A PARTIAL TERM OR A VACANCY. AN ADDED NOTE IS CITY COUNCIL ALSO HAS THE POWER TO MAKE DETERMINATIONS ABOUT PLACEMENT AND REMOVAL AT ANY TIME, FOR ANY DURATION OF A TERM, AND JUST TO NOTE, BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE RUN INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE, WHEN APPLICANTS HAVE GONE ONLINE TO FILL OUT APPLICATIONS THAT AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH IT, THEY WILL SUBMIT FOR A BOARD AND IT WILL SAY THAT THAT BOARD IS FULL. WE STILL ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY FOR THAT BOARD, EVEN IF IT SHOWS THAT THE BOARD HAS NO VACANCIES. AND THEN ALSO, JUST AS ANOTHER NOTE ON THE WEBSITE UNDER THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS PAGE, THERE, THERE'S INFORMATION THAT SHOWS THE BOARD LISTINGS, THAT SHOWS ALL OF THE MEMBERS THAT ARE INVOLVED OR THE MEMBERS THAT ARE A PART OF EACH BOARD, AS WELL AS THEIR TERM EXPIRATION YEAR. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR REAPPOINTMENT ON THE WEBSITE. WE PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO THE COUNCIL, BUT IT IS A WAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE WISHING TO SERVE, TO BE ABLE TO GO ON TO THEIR. GO ON TO THE WEBSITE TO SEE THAT INFORMATION, SEE WHO MAY BE ROLLING OFF AND WHAT WHAT, WHAT SPACES MAY BE AVAILABLE. MAYBE. AND LOOKING AT CANDIDATE READINESS. CANDIDATE READINESS, WE WOULD ENCOURAGE AND STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THAT BEFORE SOMEONE APPLIES FOR A BOARD OR COMMISSION THAT THEY ATTEND THE MEETINGS. THEY GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT BOARD DOES, THE FUNCTION OF THE BOARD, AND THE BYLAWS. IF THERE ARE BYLAWS FOR THAT BOARD AND JUST HOW THE BOARD OPERATES BEFORE STEPPING BEFORE COUNCIL. DURING AN INTERVIEW TO THEN WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT BOARD. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO VISIT THE WEBSITE TO REVIEW THE MEMBER
[00:25:06]
POLICY, AS WELL AS THE ETHICS POLICY THAT'S ON THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS PAGE AS WELL, WHICH IS LOCATED ON MCKINNEY, TEXAS. ORG SLASH BOARDS AND PRE-SERVICE TRAINING AND ONGOING TRAINING APPLIES TO ALL BOARDS, MEANING ANY MEMBER WHO IS REAPPOINTED OR NEWLY APPOINTED MUST GO THROUGH THE OPEN GOVERNMENT TRAINING. WE HAVE SOME THAT MAY HAVE BEEN REAPPOINTED AND THEY THINK, OH, I'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THAT. WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THEM AND WE ALWAYS WANT THEM TO GO BACK THROUGH THAT AGAIN, BECAUSE LAWS CHANGE AND THINGS MAY THINGS MAY CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND WE ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ABREAST OF THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION AS THEY ARE SERVING ON THESE BOARDS FOR THE CITY. AND THEN JUST A FEW DATES TO REVIEW. NEXT TUESDAY, THE CHAMBER IS HOSTING THE SERVE MCKINNEY EVENT. THIS IS AN ANNUAL EVENT THAT THEY HOST THAT BRINGS TOGETHER LOTS OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND RESIDENTS, AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER AND SERVE OUR OFFICE.

CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS WILL BE FROM JULY THROUGH AUGUST ON THE DATES LISTED THERE. AUGUST 17TH. THE PREFERENCING SUBMITTALS ARE DUE BACK FROM THE COUNCIL TO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE. AUGUST 19TH.
