May 06, 2025 City Council Regular Meeting

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:09]

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. ANYONE NOTICED THE SOOTHING MUSIC THAT WAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND? THAT WAS. THAT WAS TO CALM EVERYBODY DOWN. RIGHT? AND IT SEEMED TO WORK. IT SEEMED VERY PEACEFUL OUT THERE. SO THAT'S SOMETHING. HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE CARRIED FORWARD. OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS AN INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. AND THE INVOCATION WAS GOING TO BE GIVEN BY COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS. BUT HE IS RUNNING LATE FROM FROM A COURT CASE THAT HE IS HAVING TO PRESIDE OR BE INVOLVED IN. SO I'M GOING TO ASK MAYLEE THOMAS FULLER TO GIVE THE INVOCATION.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO COST ME DEARLY LATER TONIGHT. THIS WAS NOT DISCUSSED PRIOR TO THIS MEETING. PRIOR TO NOW. BOW YOUR HEADS, DEAR GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME TO YOU WITH SO MUCH RESPECT AND WE JUST ASK THAT GOD THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW US TO COME TOGETHER TONIGHT WITH ALL OUR HEARTS LIFTED UP AND RECOGNIZING THAT YOU ARE HERE. FOR THOSE OF US THAT BELIEVE IN YOU AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE WALKING WITH US, WE'VE BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS MEETING HERE TONIGHT. WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD JUST GIVE VOICE TO EVERYBODY HERE THAT WOULD COME TOGETHER IN UNITY AND WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BRING TO YOU AND TO THIS COMMUNITY. THE PETITIONS THAT WE ASK. I WOULD ASK, FATHER, THAT YOU WOULD BE WITH EACH PERSON THAT'S HERE TONIGHT THAT'S GOING TO SPEAK AND LET THEM COME WITH REVERENCE AND RESPECT FOR THIS PLACE, AND ALSO TO BLESS THIS COUNCIL FOR ALL THAT THEY DO TO HELP THIS COMMUNITY, ALL THE STAFF AND EVERYBODY THAT'S WORKED SO HARD TOWARDS THIS MEETING TONIGHT. WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM PEACE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT ALL OF THEIR WORK HAS BEEN ORDAINED BY YOU. WE RECOGNIZE, LORD, THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED SOMETIMES, THAT WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE HOW BLESSED WE ARE TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY. BUT I HOPE THAT WHEN WE LEAVE TONIGHT THAT WE ALL CAN COME TOGETHER AND KNOW THAT WHETHER WE AGREE ON ALL THE ISSUES, WE DO AGREE THAT THIS IS A WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY AND WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO BLESS IT, TO BE AT THE LEAD OF IT, AND TO HELP US RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE LIVING IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE CALLED MCKINNEY, TEXAS. WE ASK IT ALL IN JESUS NAME. AMEN. AMEN. THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB ARE GOING TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. COME UP IF YOU'LL START, WE WILL JOIN IN. YEAH. YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO COME UP A LITTLE MICROPHONE THERE. IT WON'T BITE YOU AGAIN OKAY. IT WON'T BITE. SO YOU START AND WE WILL. THE WHOLE ROOM WILL JOIN IN WITH YOU. I PLEDGE I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. GOOD JOB. I WILL SAY, AND I MAY BE A LITTLE BIASED. I THOUGHT THAT MY AUDIBLE ON THE INVOCATION GIVER WORKED OUT JUST FINE. THANK YOU. YEAH, I FELT YOU COULD HAVE ADDED SOMETHING PERSONAL ABOUT ME, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET GREEDY. IT WAS STILL GOOD. THANK

[Proclamation for National Military Appreciation Month]

[00:05:06]

THE SPACE FORCE PROVIDES PROTECTION IN SPACE AND PROVIDES SPACE SUPPORT TO THE JOINT FORCES. THE COAST GUARD PROVIDES LAW AND MARITIME SAFETY ENFORCEMENT, MARINE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, AND MILITARY NAVAL SUPPORT, AND THE ARMY AND NATIONAL GUARD, AIR NATIONAL GUARD, OR RESERVE COMPONENTS THAT SUPPORT COMBAT MISSIONS, DOMESTIC EMERGENCIES, HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS, AND HOMELAND SECURITY OPERATIONS. AND WHEREAS IT IS APPROPRIATE TO SHOW AWARENESS OF AND APPRECIATION FOR THE SERVICES AND SACRIFICES BY OUR ARMED FORCES FOR THEIR DEFENSE AND PRESERVATION OF THE CONSTITUTION, FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE FULLER, BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME AS MAYOR OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MAY 2025 AS MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. WITNESS MY HAND AND SEAL THE SIXTH DAY OF MAY, 2025. AND ALSO, I JUST WANT TO COMMENT THAT MEMORIAL DAY IS COMING UP THE 26TH. WE WILL HAVE A SERVICE. THE CITY WILL. IT'S A DAY THAT WE MOURN ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL THAT DIED WHILE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY, AND I HOPE THAT WE ALL ON THAT DAY.

IT'S GENERALLY, OF COURSE, IT'S A HOLIDAY, BUT LET'S REMEMBER WHY IT'S A HOLIDAY AND WHAT WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THAT DAY IS. COLIN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE A FEW WORDS? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? WE ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO COME OUT ON SATURDAY, THE 24TH OF MAY AT 10:00. WE ARE GOING TO HONOR OUR FALLEN, READ THEIR NAMES AND TELL THE STORIES OF SEVEN OF OUR COLLIN COUNTY HEROES. AND THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE.

[Proclamation for Historic Preservation Month]

MAYOR. WHILE THEY'RE COMING, I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT BECAUSE I GOT WORD TODAY FROM JENNIFER ARNOLD THAT WE HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED OUR CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT DESIGNATION ON THE US LEVEL. I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THESE HARD WORKING BOARD MEMBERS WHO REALLY WEIGH IN ON SOME VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, AND THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF GREAT WORK, BUT REALLY WANTED TO THANK STAFF AS WELL, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS DESIGNATION FOR A WHILE NOW. IT'S A HEAVY LIFT, BUT IT DOES ADD SOME PROTECTIONS FOR THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. IT GIVES US SOME TOOLS IN ORDER TO ENFORCE SOME KIND OF FRAMEWORK IN TERMS OF ORDINANCES AND, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO ENFORCE THOSE, BUT ALSO IT MAKES US ELIGIBLE FOR GRANT FUNDING. BUT I THINK THIS WHAT THIS DOES REALLY FOR US IS IT PROVIDES LONG TERM PROTECTIONS SO THAT EVERY TIME A COUNCIL TURNS OVER, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME FOLKS WHO HAVE REALLY BEEN FIGHTING FOR DECADES TO MAKE IT WHAT IT IS. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU. I KNOW NINA IS IN THE.

NINA, WHERE ARE YOU? NINA, COME ON UP. DON'T STAND BACK THERE. COME ON. SHE DID SO MUCH WORK IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. COME JOIN US, PLEASE. NINA AND BETTY AND ALL OF YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED SO VERY HARD. I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ALL. AND I'M GOING TO COME DOWN AND JOIN YOU WHILE YOU READ THIS. CITY OF MCKINNEY PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS MAY IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH, ACKNOWLEDGING THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT PRESERVATION HAS ON CREATING AND MAINTAINING VIBRANT COMMUNITIES FULL OF CHARACTER. WHEREAS HISTORIC PRESERVATION SUPPORTS ADAPTIVE REUSE OF CULTURALLY, HISTORICALLY, AND ARCHITECTURALLY IMPORTANT SPACES AND INCENTIVIZES REHABILITATION

[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (for Non-Public Hearing Items)]

[00:15:07]

THANK YOU, JAMES JENKINS. I GUESS I GOT TO GO FIRST. THANK YOU. YEAH. MINE'S NOT. I HAVE THE INTERNET. I COULD SURF, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. GO AHEAD, JAMES, GO AHEAD. JAMES I'M SORRY. LET ME. I'LL JUST TAKE THE CARDS AND MANUALLY. OKAY. SORRY. NO. YOU'RE GOOD. JAMES JENKINS, SIX FIVE, ZERO ONE WINDSONG DRIVE HERE IN MCKINNEY. AND FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, I HAVE EITHER THE PRIVILEGE OR THE CURSE OF BEING ONE OF THE ADMINS OF THE LARGEST SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITY GROUP IN OUR CITY. WHICH MEANS BY DEFAULT, I PERHAPS HAVE MORE CONTACT WITH PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE AIRPORT AS AS ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM HERE. I THINK WHEN I SUMMARIZE THE COMMENTS OF THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE AIRPORT, IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO FOUR DISTINCT BUCKETS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, AND NOISE AND TRAFFIC. AND I THINK AS I REFLECT ON THE ISSUE OF THE AIRPORT, IT BECOMES INCUMBENT ON ME TO RECOGNIZE IT AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN. I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THE FULL TIME PROFESSIONALS DO.

COUNCIL ELECTED OFFICIALS, CITY STAFF AND THE MANY DOZENS OF CONSULTANTS THAT THE CITY HAS CONTRACTED TO PROVIDE EXPERT GUIDANCE ON THESE SUBJECTS. I ALSO FIND THAT INTERESTING, AS WE JUST HAD ELECTION DAY, THAT EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE WHO OVERTLY OPPOSED THE AIRPORT EITHER LOST THEIR ELECTION OR FOUND THEMSELVES ON THE LOSING END OF A VOTE TALLY THAT IS NOW IN A RUNOFF. THAT INCLUDES DOCTOR MATT ROSTAMI, DOCTOR TAHA ANSARI, AS WELL AS TAMMY WARREN.

SCOTT SANFORD HAD SAID, WE NEED TO GET MORE FEEDBACK FROM THE VOTERS, BUT HE WAS DEFINITELY NOT OVERTLY IN SUPPORT OF THE AIRPORT. I, HOWEVER, AM OVERTLY IN SUPPORT OF THE AIRPORT. THE DOWNSIDE HERE IS MEASURED IN THE MILLIONS. THE UPSIDE HERE IS MEASURED IN THE BILLIONS. THIS IS A ONCE IN A GENERATION, PERHAPS ONCE IN SEVERAL GENERATIONS OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE. WE ARE THE CROWN JEWEL OF COLLIN COUNTY IN THIS CITY. WHY NOT DOUBLE DOWN ON OUR EXISTENTIAL ADVANTAGE OVER OUR PEER GROUP? FRISCO. PLANO. ALLEN. ET CETERA. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. JAMES. STEVEN SPAINHOUR. STEVE SPAINHOUR, 4690 ELDORADO PARKWAY HERE IN MCKINNEY. WELL, IT'S A TOUGH, TOUGH TALK TO FOLLOW JAMES. VERY ASTUTE, VERY WELL-SPOKEN. I WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN NONE OF Y'ALL WERE ON THE DAIS AT THE TIME WHEN COUNCIL IN THE PAST VOTED TO ACQUIRE THIS ASSET FROM COLLIN COUNTY. AND THERE WAS ONE OPPOSITION AT THAT TIME, BUT THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER QUICKLY GOT ON BOARD. AND SO WE'VE HAD THIS ASSET FOR TEN YEARS, AND WE HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT'S BEEN OUR GOAL TO BRING IN COMMERCIAL PASSENGER TRAFFIC. AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS. AND I ECHO WHAT JAMES JUST SAID ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN AVAILABLE TO COUNCIL AND STAFF. BUT FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ AND I'VE SEEN, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT AND THE TIME IS NOW, IF NOT NOW, WHEN? BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND SOME OPPOSITIONS, AND I KNOW THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO MR. CLOUTIER HERE, AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN ABOUT DOING THIS AND PUTTING IT ALL ON THE TAXPAYERS BACK WITHOUT FEDERAL AND STATE PARTNERS IN IT. AND THAT DOES CONCERN ME, AND I WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD HAVE THOSE PARTNERS ON BOARD BY NOW. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE POLITICS BEING WHAT IT IS, WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THAT. SO WE'RE AT A CRITICAL POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AND TO DELAY

[00:20:06]

HI, MY NAME IS LISA PERRY. I LIVE AT SIX SIX, SEVEN FIVE MEDITERRANEAN DRIVE IN MCKINNEY.

I'VE LIVED HERE ABOUT 22 YEARS AND I LOVE THE DIRECTION THE CITY HAS GONE. I LOVE SEEING WHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. SOME OF YOU ONLY FOUR YEARS. BUT I LOVE THE DIRECTION THE CITY HAS GONE. AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. I KNOW EACH I KNOW THAT YOU CARE ABOUT LISTENING TO THE VOTERS AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR CONCERNS, AND YOU ALSO GIVE YOUR TIME ALMOST FOR NOTHING. IN FACT, PROBABLY SUFFER SOME DISADVANTAGES FROM ALL THE TIME YOU SPEND SERVING YOUR BUSINESSES AND YOUR FAMILIES AND WHATNOT. BUT YOU GIVE BECAUSE YOU CARE AND YOU SIT AND YOU LISTEN AND YOU STUDY AND YOU LEARN ABOUT ALL THE IMPACT THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE AIRPORT. AND YOU DO YOUR, YOUR, YOUR BEST TO UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES AND MAKE A DECISION. AND TRUE LEADERSHIP IS MAKING HARD DECISIONS. AND THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL NEVER GET CRITICIZED IS IF YOU DO NOTHING.

SO I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR STANDING UP AND DOING WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT, BASED ON ALL THE FACTS AND INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE TAKEN IN. AND I KNOW THAT THAT CAME WITH A PRICE. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, AL PERRY.

HELLO, EVERYBODY. THIS IS AL PERRY, SIX SIX, SEVEN FIVE MEDITERRANEAN. I WANT TO START OFF FIRST. WE JUST FINISHED THE ELECTION. AT LEAST THE FIRST PART OF IT. I WANT TO THANK EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE THAT RAN, EVEN THOSE I DIDN'T LIKE. I APPRECIATE THEM PUTTING THEMSELVES OUT THERE LIKE THAT. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THOSE THAT ONE DOCTOR, GERRY FELTUS.

SORRY. CONGRATULATIONS. JUSTIN BELLER, YOU RAN A FANTASTIC CAMPAIGN. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE SCOTT SANFORD AND BILL COX FOR MAKING A RUNOFF. AND ALSO ERNEST LYNCH AND JIM GARRISON, WHO ARE GETTING READY TO GO FOR THEIR THEIR RUNOFF. I AM THRILLED TO DEATH THAT I DON'T EVER HAVE TO HEAR CHAD GREEN'S NAME ANYMORE IN A RELEVANT FASHION, IF I'M HONEST WITH YOU, BUT THAT'S NOT WHY I'M ACTUALLY SPEAKING TONIGHT. THANKS FOR EVERYBODY THAT RAN AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT I'M HERE ABOUT THE AIRPORT. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN IN MCKINNEY FOR 22 YEARS. WE'VE WATCHED THIS AIRPORT BEING SPOKEN ABOUT BY MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF COUNCIL PEOPLE TO GET THIS THING TO THE FINISH LINE THAT IT'S AT. NOW, I GOT A LITTLE SIDE EYE FOR YOU THAT YOU THAT HAVEN'T SUPPORTED IT. I TRUST YOUR MOTIVATIONS. I LOVE YOU AS MEN, BUT I DO DISAGREE WITH YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY. I WANT TO APPLAUD THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE ARROWS FROM THE 50 PEOPLE THAT ARE AGAINST THE AIRPORT ONLINE. THEY KEEP POSTING OVER AND OVER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE AND LET'S GET THIS DONE TONIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR. HEATHER MOSBY. SEE HOW FAST I CAN TALK. HEATHER MOSBY, 1100 CRAPE MYRTLE AND ANNA. BUT I AM CELEBRATING MY 13TH YEAR NEXT MONTH WITH THE SAMARITAN INN, WHICH IS WHAT BRINGS ME HERE TODAY. I AM CURRENTLY SERVING ON THE MCKINNEY HOMELESS COALITION STRATEGIC COMMITTEE, WHERE WE ARE RAPIDLY WORKING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS WHICH WILL ARISE WITH THE CLOSURE OF THE HALL LIBRARY ON JUNE 13TH. AS MANY MAY KNOW, THE LIBRARY IS CLOSING FOR RENOVATIONS AND IS ANTICIPATED TO BE CLOSED FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. ALTHOUGH PLANNING FOR THIS CLOSURE AND THE IMPEDING CHANGES HAVE BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR OVER TWO YEARS, ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTED

[00:25:03]

THESE SOLUTIONS MUST NOT ONLY ADDRESS THE CLOSURE OCCURRING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCORCHING TEXAS SUMMER, BUT FOR THE YEAR OF RENOVATIONS AND BEYOND. THE SCRAMBLE IS ALSO COMING AT A TIME WHERE MANY OF OUR AGENCIES ARE BATTLING REDUCED GIVING FROM THE COMMUNITY, THREATENED OR ALREADY REDUCED FUNDING AT A FEDERAL LEVEL, POLICY CHANGES AND STRATEGIC PROBLEM SOLVING RELATED TO EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND FOR THOSE SERVING THE HOMELESS, A PERCEIVED STATE DRIVEN ATTACK ON THOSE WE SERVE ALONGSIDE OUR AGENCIES THEMSELVES. FROM BILLS SUCH AS SB 2623 AND HB 4726, NUMEROUS AGENCIES WITHIN OUR COUNTY ARE AT RISK OF BEING TASKED WITH SHUTTING DOWN OR FOOTING THE BILL TO MOVE, AND DEPENDING ON THE BILL THAT INCLUDES PARTS OF THE SAMARITAN IN SB 38 AND HB 32 WOULD LEAD TO INCREASED EVICTIONS, LIKELY INCREASE THE NUMBERS OF THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, WHO THEN WOULD STRUGGLE TO FIND HOUSING WITH LISTED EVICTIONS.

AND SB 241 WOULD FURTHER CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS AND WOULD LEAD TO REMOVING FUNDS FROM THE POCKETS OF OUR CITIES, WHICH STUDIES HAVE PROVEN REPEATEDLY THAT PUNISHMENT CRIMINALIZATION DO NOT CREATE CHANGE BEHAVIOR FOR THE BETTER. THESE ATTACKS ARE NOW SMASHED AGAINST A RECENTLY RELEASED SKINNY BUDGET THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY SLASH SUPPORTIVE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT WE ALREADY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FOR WITH OUR NEED. ADD TO THIS THE TEXAS RANKS IN THE BOTTOM FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, 51ST FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT, AND 40TH IN EDUCATION IN A COMMUNITY PASSIONATELY SCREAMING FOR THE HOMELESS TO BE DEALT WITH. THE AGENCIES WHO SERVE ARE BEING FORCED TO A PERILOUS EDGE OVERLOOKING SPIKES. IT'S LIKE GOING TO THE DOCTOR FOR A LIFE SAVING SURGERY, BUT REMOVING THREE QUARTERS OF THE STERILIZED INSTRUMENTS AND FORCING IT TO HAPPEN OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN. THE MCKINNEY HOMELESS COALITION IS WORKING TO DO OUR PART NOW AND IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE WE MUST END. THE WORK NEVER ENDS. WE NEED YOU AND THE COMMUNITY TO DO YOUR PART AS WELL. JOIN OUR MEETINGS, VISIT OUR AGENCIES, OR ASK US FOR OUR INPUT. WITH OR WITHOUT OVERARCHING FEDERAL SUPPORT. AS A COMMUNITY, WE MUST WORK TOGETHER IF WE INTEND TO THRIVE TOGETHER. THANK YOU.

APPARENTLY WE DON'T HAVE A BUZZER AT THE END OF THE AT THE END OF THE TIME, BUT IF EVERYONE WOULD, AS YOU COME UP, JUST WATCH THAT, WATCH THAT TIMER AND WE'LL TRY TO BE AGAIN EQUITABLE FOR EVERYBODY. I KNOW, HEATHER, THAT I TOLD YOU TO BE A BUZZER AND THERE WASN'T ONE. SO THAT'S ON ME ON THAT ONE. NINA RINGLEY. HELLO, I'M NINA DOWELL RINGLEY. I LIVE AT 313 NORTH BENGE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. I'M A MCKINNEY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 77 GRADUATE. SO BASICALLY, I'VE LIVED HERE MY ENTIRE LIFE. I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE RECOGNITION, WHAT YOU JUST DID IN REFERENCE TO OUR HISTORY AND ALSO TO OUR MILITARY. TODAY, I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT ABOUT JUST JUST QUICKLY. HE LIVED HIS WHOLE LIFE HERE IN COLLIN COUNTY. HE SPENT MANY YEARS LIVING NEARBY AT THE MILL CREEK, ALWAYS AT THE MILL BLOCK, ALWAYS FULL OF ADVENTURES. HE WOULD USED TO TELL STORIES MANY TIMES OF GROWING UP AND EVERYTHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN ON THE RAILROAD AND THINGS. HE WAS A 1966 MCKINNEY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. HE HE ENLISTED IN THE MARINE CORPS, SERVED IN VIETNAM. HE HAD A HE WAS A TALENTED MUSICIAN SONGWRITER. HE HAD A BAND CALLED THE RED RIVER SURFERS. 15 YEARS AGO. HE WAS ON HIS OWN MISSION AFTER HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE ALL FALLEN SOLDIERS WERE HONORED AND NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN. SO HE STARTED RECORDING THEIR STORIES AND ETCHED THEIR NAMES ON THE WALL OF HONOR THAT WE HAVE TODAY. HE SUPPORTED ALL ENDEAVORS OF THE VFW POST 2150. IT STILL CARRIES ON TODAY. 14 YEARS AGO, WHEN THIS WALL OF HONOR BEGAN, THEY STARTED A GOLF TOURNAMENT, A COMMUNITY GOLF TOURNAMENT. THIS WAS WE JUST HELD THE 14TH ONE. WE THANK MAYOR FULLER AND MAYOR LEE. WE THANK PATRICK FOR HIS HELP THIS LAST TIME. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING INVOLVED IN THESE COMMUNITY ENDEAVORS. OUR DD PASSED IN JUNE OF 2023. HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON. THANK YOU. BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE, YOU RENAMED OUR MEMORIAL PARK IN HIS HONOR, CORPORAL D FOSTER VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. MAYOR. PAUL BALLESTEROS. LOVE YOUR T SHIRT. THAT'S. PAUL BALLESTEROS, 6508

[00:30:11]

THERE ARE THREE TIMES MORE VULNERABLE TO ALL CAUSES OF DEATH. BUT IF I COULD ONLY PICK ONE THING TO ADDRESS, IT WOULD BE HOW HOMELESSNESS IS VIEWED, BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT HOW IT'S ADDRESSED AND THE EXTREME VULNERABILITY. THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING AT THE END OF THE COUNCIL AND IN EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE ARE FEARING HOMELESSNESS IS INDIRECT AND DIRECT THROUGH THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY WERE PETITIONING ABOUT PERMITS AND WHERE LOCATIONS WOULD BE. SO I WAS REMINDED OF THREE THINGS ABOUT PROBLEM SOLVING THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE. FIRST, SHIFTING A PROBLEM ISN'T SOLVING A PROBLEM. SECOND, PUTTING IT OFF A PROBLEM SO YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE IN A IN A LAST MINUTE POSITION. IT'S NOT A STRONG POSITION. AND LASTLY, SOLVE THE PARTS THAT ARE SOLVABLE. TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT ISN'T SOLVABLE IS A PROBLEM ITSELF. NO ONE ON GOD'S EARTH CAN END HOMELESSNESS. JESUS SAID, THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE AMONG YOU. WE CAN'T END HOMELESSNESS AS A CONCEPT, BUT WE CAN END IT FOR A PERSON. SO WHY AREN'T WE? FEAR IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, FEAR OF SAFETY. AND I WILL TELL YOU PERSONALLY, IN NEARLY A DECADE AND A HALF OF SERVING, THE ONLY TIME I'VE EVER HAD A WEAPON WIELDED AND AIMED IN MY DIRECTION IS BY MCKINNEY PD. I SHARE THIS NOT TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, BUT TO SHARE WITH YOU. OUR NEIGHBORS ARE NOT TO BE FEARED, THEY'RE TO BE KNOWN. SO, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN FAITH, WE ARE CALLED TO LOVE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE, BUT DON'T LEAVE THEM AS THEY ARE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU PAUL. LISA WASHINGTON. HI, EVERYBODY.

HELLO. ALL RIGHT. LISA WASHINGTON, 7830 VAN TUYL PARKWAY, MCKINNEY, TEXAS. THAT'S RIGHT, I MOVED BACK TO MAYOR FULLER. THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, DARRELL AND JILL BARNES AND THE AND GATHER AT MCKINNEY FAMILY ON BEHALF OF THE WASHINGTON FAMILY, WE WANTED TO EXTEND OUR DEEPEST GRATITUDE FOR HONORING MY NEPHEW. PRIVATE FIRST CLASS JAYLEN WAYNE WASHINGTON. HE PASSED AWAY ON MARCH THE 24TH OF 2020. EXCUSE ME, 2025, 27 YEARS OLD. YOUR LOVE, YOUR SUPPORT AND THOUGHTFULNESS DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME HAS TOUCHED OUR HEARTS IN WAYS THAT WORDS CAN HARDLY EXPRESS. BUT. FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CALLS AND YOUR TEXTS AND YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR ACTS OF KINDNESS. THEY HAVE NOT GONE UNNOTICED. MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW MUCH WE ARE LOVED BY THIS COMMUNITY.

I LOVE THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE MORE THAN EVER. I WANTED TO TAKE A SPECIAL MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE MAYOR FULLER. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A TRUE ASSET TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. SO SORRY I'M BREAKING DOWN. I KNOW MY TIME IS RUNNING OUT. I STILL REMEMBER EIGHT YEARS AGO HEADING OUT TO GO TO LUNCH, AND WHEN I PICKED UP, WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP SIGN AND I SAW RIGHT BY WALMART, I SAW SOME GUY HOLDING A LIFE SIZE SIGN THAT SAID, I'M VOTING FOR THIS GUY. THAT MOMENT UNEXPECTEDLY IMPACTED MY LIFE. SINCE THEN, YOU'VE INSPIRED ME TO GET MORE INVOLVED IN THIS CITY THAT I LOVE. YOU SHARED YOUR VISION FOR MCKINNEY, AND IN DOING SO, YOU REMINDED ME OF MY OWN PURPOSE. THAT INSPIRATION, THAT INSPIRATION LED ME TO START MY NONPROFIT, LEAD BY EXAMPLE, TO SUPPORT ALL THE SENIOR CITIZENS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

YOU'VE CHEERED ME ON EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ALWAYS STOOD BY ME, MY FAMILY AND MY MISSION. I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. THERE IS NOTHING, NOTHING THAT EITHER ONE OF Y'ALL ON THIS COUNCIL CAN ASK ME FOR THAT I WOULDN'T DO. I APPRECIATE YOU EVERY DAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MR. THANK YOU. KYLE SIMS. ON THAT TO HER.

[00:35:05]

AND ONE THING THAT NEVER SEEMS TO GET BETTER IS THE RHETORIC THAT GOES ON WITH MANY DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO HOPEFULLY CALL A TRUCE BETWEEN EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THIS CITY. I'VE COME TO LEARN, AS THE OLDER I GET IS WE CAN'T MAKE PROGRESS IF WE DO NOT WORK TOGETHER. AND I'VE EXTENDED THE OLIVE BRANCH TO MANY OF Y'ALL.

Y'ALL HAVE EXTENDED AN OLIVE BRANCH BACK TO ME. LORD KNOWS I'VE TAKEN HEAT. AND I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL TAKING HEAT. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN COME TOGETHER FOR IS OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN. THAT IS THE FIRST DECISION THAT SHOULD BE THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN WE MAKE ANY DECISION. MY CONCERNS ARE CHILDREN, SAFETY, INFRASTRUCTURE, HOMELESSNESS, TRAFFIC AND GROWTH. THERE'S NO REASON WE CAN'T COME TOGETHER ON THOSE ITEMS AND MANY MORE ITEMS AND WORK TOGETHER. SO I'M ASKING BOTH SIDES, NO MATTER WHAT POLITICAL SPECTRUM YOU'RE FROM, STOP THE RHETORIC, STOP THE FACEBOOK POST. LET'S COME TOGETHER AND LET'S KEEP THIS CITY GROWING. IT'S GOING TO GROW WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT. WE'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO AGREE WITH EACH OTHER ON EVERY DECISION WE MAKE, BUT THERE'S NO REASON WE CAN'T HAVE CIVIL CONVERSATION AND HAVE AN HONEST DIALOG AND KEEP THIS THING GOING. THANK Y'ALL. THANK YOU KYLE. THANK YOU. KYLE, I WANT TO. THAT WAS THE END OF PUBLIC COMMENTS, BY THE WAY. BUT I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING PUBLICLY. MANY IN THIS ROOM KNOW THAT THERE'S A TIME WHEN YOU AND I HAD A LOT OF CONFLICT. WE EXEMPLIFIED THE VERY THING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ONLINE. WE'RE QUITE AGGRESSIVE.

WE GOT TOGETHER. IT'S GOT TO BE A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, RIGHT? A COUPLE YEARS AGO. AND THEN WE GOT TOGETHER WITH OUR WIVES AS WELL, AND WE GOT TOGETHER AND WE TALKED AND I CAME BACK FROM THAT VERY FIRST MEETING AND THEN REAFFIRMED THE SECOND MEETING. AND I HAVE KNOWN SINCE THAT MOMENT THAT ALTHOUGH WE HAVE HAD SOME DISAGREEMENT, I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT YOUR HEART WAS IN THE SAME PLACE MINE WAS FOR THE THINGS YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT. AND FROM THAT MOMENT WE HAVE HAD A FRIENDSHIP. WE HAVE A RESPECTABLE, RESPECTED RELATIONSHIP, RESPECTFUL BOTH WAYS. AND LIKE YOU SAID, SOME OF THE HEAT THAT THAT, THAT I MAY HAVE RECEIVED OR YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT. AND, AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY PUBLICLY THAT I CONSIDER YOU A FRIEND, AND I KNOW YOUR HEART IS EXACTLY AS YOU SAY. AND FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW THAT, MEET WITH THIS MAN AND YOU WILL FIND OUT THE SAME THING THAT I DID. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT PUBLICLY. SO THE OTHER CARD WE HAVE IS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM, WHICH IS WHY I DID NOT CALL MIKE REDEKER IF YOU WERE EXPECTING ME TO CALL YOUR NAME, THAT'S FOR A PUBLIC

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Budget and Amending the 2025-2029 Capital Improvements Program to Provide Funds for the McKinney National Airport Eastside Infrastructure Project (AI2250) and Appropriating Bond Funding in the McKinney Economic Development Corporation Fund for the Purchase of Land]

[00:40:03]

BUT WE'VE RECEIVED $88 MILLION AGAIN, MOST OF WHICH HAS BEEN WHILE WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS DURING MY TERM. SO THE IDEA THAT NOBODY ELSE IS INVESTING IN THE COUNTY IS NOT INVESTING IN THE STATE'S, NOT INVESTING IN EVERYONE. THERE'S ALL THIS OTHER BENEFIT, BUT NOBODY'S INVESTING $88 MILLION, WITH ANOTHER 30 BEING CONSIDERED RIGHT NOW. NOT TO MENTION, OF COURSE, AS WE SPEND THESE MONEY MONIES ON THESE IMPROVEMENTS, AS I STATED A MINUTE AGO, THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALL, NOT ALL 80 SOME PERCENT OF PROJECTS ELIGIBLE FOR FAA REIMBURSEMENT. AND WE'VE BEEN TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL IN FAA REIMBURSEMENT. SO JUST AS YOU'RE CONSIDERING THESE THINGS, MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS NOT ALL IN THE BACKS OF MCKINNEY TAXPAYERS. WE'RE PUSHING $100 MILLION SO FAR AND MUCH MORE THAT THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR AND REIMBURSEMENTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. THAT'S TOTALLY IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE, I TELL YOU THAT THE IDEA OF EXPANDING PASSENGER SERVICE IN MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT MISREPRESENTS BOTH THE COST AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT EXPANSION PROJECT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN EARLIER CONCEPTS AND STUDIES ANTICIPATED, THANKS TO THOUGHTFUL PHASING, REFINED PLANNING, AND BENEFIT OF FAA AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANTS, WHICH REIMBURSE ELIGIBLE COSTS. THIS MAKES THIS MAKES IT ONE OF THE FEW MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS WITH DEDICATED FEDERAL FUNDING ASSISTANCE AND POTENTIAL FOR LONG TERM OPERATIONAL REVENUE STREAMS. COMPARE THIS TO ROADS.

WE BUILD PARKS. WE PRESERVE, PUBLIC BUILDINGS WE CONSTRUCT, ALL VITAL TO OUR CITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE, YET ALMOST ENTIRELY FUNDED BY LOCAL DOLLARS WITH NO EXPECTATION OF DIRECT REIMBURSEMENT OR REVENUE. WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE PROJECTS NOT BECAUSE THEY OFFER A FINANCIAL RETURN, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE ESSENTIAL TO A THRIVING, LIVABLE MCKINNEY. THE AIRPORT EXPANSION IS NO DIFFERENT IN THAT RESPECT, BUT IT IS DIFFERENT IN THAT IT BRINGS WITH IT REVENUE ENGINE, A REGIONAL ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT IS CURRENTLY AN ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF $330 MILLION AND WILL NOW GROW, AS I SAID EARLIER, OVER THE FIRST 3 OR 4 YEARS TO 400 MILLION, ON TOP OF THE 330 AND SOON TO OVER $1 BILLION ANNUALLY, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE TAX BURDENS OVER TIME THROUGH INCREASED COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT, CITY COUNCIL HAS TAKEN A LONG VIEW, THE LONG VIEW AS IT SHOULD. WE'RE NOT JUST THINKING ABOUT TODAY'S CONCERNS OR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET CYCLE, BUT THE ENORMOUS BENEFITS OF THE AIRPORT THAT WILL OUTLAST OUR TERMS IN OFFICE WILL OUTLAST THE LATEST POLITICAL DEBATE. WHAT WE BUILD TODAY IS FOR OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, A COMMUNITY WITH ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS JOBS, ENHANCES REGIONAL MOBILITY, AND REINFORCES MCKINNEY'S LEADERSHIP. IN NORTH TEXAS, MCKINNEY DIDN'T BECOME ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING, MOST DESIRABLE CITIES IN THE COUNTRY.

BY LETTING OTHERS SHAPE OUR DESTINY, WE GOT THERE BY MAKING SMART, FUTURE FOCUSED INVESTMENTS, AS WE DID WITH STRATEGIC LAND PURCHASES ALONG 121, WHICH NOW HAVE PROVEN TO INDUCE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. RATHER THAN ALLOW THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO CAPITALIZE ON LOW HANGING FRUIT OF MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT HAD BEGUN TO TAKE HOLD ON THAT PRECIOUS COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. THIS IS EXACTLY THAT KIND OF MOMENT WHERE WE ARE MAKING DECISIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR GRANDCHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, THE COUNCIL SHOULD WAIT ON THE NEXT COUNCIL BEFORE VOTING FOR THAT. A LOT, ACTUALLY A LOT FROM 20 PEOPLE. THAT ARGUMENT IGNORES THE DEPTH OF WORK, RESEARCH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ALREADY DONE. THERE'S CURRENT COUNCIL HAS PRESENTED, HAS BEEN PRESENTED WITH HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF DATA ANALYSIS, STAKEHOLDER INPUT AND EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS. WE'VE ASKED HARD QUESTIONS, VETTED THE ASSUMPTIONS, UNDERSTAND THE SHORT AND LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS BETTER THAN ANY GROUP OF INCOMING FRESHMEN. WE HOLD THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION, NOT JUST ON PAPER, BUT THROUGH YEARS OF DELIBERATION,

[00:45:02]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. THE ITEM THAT YOU JUST READ IS SPECIFICALLY, IT'S FOR THE BUDGET AMENDMENT AND AMENDMENT TO THE CIP PROGRAM TO FUND THE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EAST SIDE AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT. IN INTEREST OF TIME TONIGHT, WHAT I'VE DONE IS I'VE PULLED TOGETHER ONE PRESENTATION THAT'S GOING TO TOUCH ON THIS ITEM AS WELL AS THE NEXT FIVE ITEMS. SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL TALK THROUGH ALL OF THE ITEMS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL KIND OF LUMPED TOGETHER AS WE GO FORWARD ON EACH OF THE SUBSEQUENT ITEMS. WHAT WE WILL WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE IS THAT YOU READ THE ITEMS AND IF YOU NEED ME TO COME UP AND SPEAK, THAT'S GREAT. BUT PROBABLY EVEN MORE APPROPRIATELY, WE DO HAVE SOME. I HAVE SOME ASSISTANCE HERE TONIGHT. PATRICIA JACKSON, OUR FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, CAN SPEAK TO THE CONTRACTS THAT ARE ON THE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. WE HAVE KEN CALI, OUR AIRPORT DIRECTOR, WHO CAN SPEAK TO AIRPORT RELATED ISSUES TONIGHT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE MARK HOLLOWAY, OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY, WHO COULD SPEAK TO ANY OF THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTRACTS. SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH IT WITH THIS PRESENTATION, BUT I WON'T HAVE TO STAND UP FOR EACH EACH ONE UNLESS PERSUADED TO DO SO BY THE COUNCIL. SO THE FIRST ITEM WE HAVE HERE IS THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. AND WHAT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY IS IT'S TAKING THE FUNDING THAT'S BEEN APPROVED PREVIOUSLY BY THE PAUSE. ONE SECOND. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET THAT ON OUR SCREEN. SO WE HAVE THE TURNAROUND? YEAH. THANK YOU. SORRY. YES. SO THE FIRST ITEM, THE BUDGET AMENDMENT LIKE I SAID IS MOVING THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FUNDS AROUND INTO THE PROJECT THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT EAST SIDE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT. BY DOING THAT, WE ARE GOING TO DISBURSE THE FUNDS TO THE ITEMS THAT FOLLOW THE FIVE SPECIFIC CONTRACTS. SO THOSE CONTRACTS WOULD BE THE FIRST IS A CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK WITH SWINERTON BUILDERS, AND THAT CONTRACT IS WITH A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. SO THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER CONTRACTS. THE CM AT RISK HAS A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. AND WHAT WE DO IS WE BUILD INTO THAT SOME CONTINGENCY, BOTH FOR THE BUILDER AS WELL AS THE OWNER, IN THIS CASE THE CITY, SO THAT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE COSTS ASSOCIATED AT THE TIME OF THE CONTRACT, THOSE ARE ALREADY BUILT INTO THOSE CONTINGENCIES. SO WE WILL NOT BE OVERRIDING OR EXCEEDING THE COST. YOU SEE, TONIGHT, THE OTHER CONTRACTS, THOSE ARE CONTRACTS THAT, LIKE WE DO FOR A LOT OF OUR DIFFERENT CONTRACTS WITH THE CITY, WHERE WE'LL HAVE A CONTRACT AMOUNT AND A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT. THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT GIVES THE STAFF A LITTLE LEEWAY, A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN A GMP, USUALLY ABOUT 510%. AND THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A LITTLE LEEWAY IN CASE SOMETHING WERE TO COME UP. THE NUMBERS I'M GOING TO SHOW ON THE SCREEN HERE IN A LITTLE BIT ARE ACTUALLY THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNTS FOR THOSE CONTRACTS. SO THE CONTRACTS ARE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE. EACH ONE OF THESE IS FOUND IN THE STAFF REPORTS FOR THE RESPECTIVE ITEMS. SO YOU SAW SOME OF THIS IF YOU WERE HERE FOR THE TOURS NUMBER TWO BOARD MEETING EARLIER TODAY TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE TERS WAS CREATED TO DO. SO ON THE MAP HERE, YOU SEE THE BOUNDARIES OF TERS TWO, KNOWN AS THE AIRPORT TERS. BACK IN 2010, SEPTEMBER OF 2010. THIS WAS ADOPTED AND CREATED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THAT TIME WITH A SPECIFIC PURPOSE TO BUILD AND EXPAND MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. BACK THEN IT WAS CALLED THE COLLIN COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT. IT'S BEEN RENAMED SINCE, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE PROJECT PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ORDINANCE IN 2010 STATED THE THREE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS OR USES OF FUNDS, ONE BEING THE FOCUS ON

[00:50:07]

WE'VE ALSO USED THE TERS FUNDS TO FUND TAXIWAY A4, WHICH ALLOWED US TO OPEN UP SOME DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT FOR COMMERCIAL OR FOR GENERAL AVIATION. IN THIS CASE, WE ARE USING SOME OF THE FUNDS AS APPROVED BY THE TOURIST BOARD TONIGHT, TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL ALLOW US TO JUMP TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. SO IT'S GOING TO ALLOW US NOT ONLY TO BUILD THE TERMINAL PROJECT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ON SOME OF THE SITE PLANS, BUT IT PROVIDES ENABLING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS US FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AIRPORT FOR MANY YEARS, MAYBE DECADES, TO EXPAND AND BUILD ALL TYPES OF AERONAUTICAL USES. IT ALSO WILL PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR NON-AERONAUTICAL USES AS THE SPUR 399 EXPANSION. EXPANSION GOES AROUND THE AIRPORT AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE GOING TO BE NON AIRPORT RELATED USES THAT WILL ALSO UTILIZE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND WE'LL SHOW THAT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. SO THIS IS THE WE CALL IT A CMR OR CM AT RISK PROCESS. YOU SEE WHERE WE ARE. MAY 6TH TONIGHT IS COUNCIL APPROVAL FOR THE GMP CONTRACT WITH SWINERTON. TALKING ABOUT THE ENABLING EASTSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE. YOU CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE WATER LINES, SEWER LINES, FIBER OPTIC LINES AND UNDERGROUND FRANCHISE UTILITIES THAT ARE ENABLING NOT ONLY THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY, WHICH IS A LOT OF AIRSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE, TAXIWAYS, RAMP SPACE, BUT ALSO LANDSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE, PARKING AND DRIVES AND ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY. SO THE INFRASTRUCTURE BEING FUNDED TONIGHT WITH THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO PROCEED WITH THIS PROJECT, BUT ALSO ANY NUMBER OF PROJECTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS OUR CURRENT SITE PLAN. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE SITE PLANS PRESENTED IN THE PAST, BECAUSE WE WERE SHOWING A PHASE, KIND OF ULTIMATE PHASE OF THE PROOF OF CONCEPT TERMINAL. AT THE TIME WE PRESENTED IN THE PAST, WE'VE NOW VALUE ENGINEERED OR REDUCED THE SCOPE AS MUCH AS WE COULD TO START THE PROJECT, BUT ALSO KEEP THE PROJECT ON BUDGET AS BEST POSSIBLE GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES. WITH INFLATION AND OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCING COSTS OF PROJECTS TODAY. LOOKING AT THIS, YOU CAN SEE OUR DECEMBER 24TH ESTIMATES $53.6 MILLION. LOOKING TODAY WITH OUR GMP PRICE GMP PRICING, YOU HAVE A TOTAL OF $58 MILLION. THAT INCLUDES 19.7 FOR VERTICAL STRUCTURES. THAT DOES INCLUDE A TERMINAL BUILDING, BUT ALSO MAINTENANCE FACILITIES, SECURITY FACILITIES ON THE SITE, 16.2 MILLION WOULD BE THE AIRSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE, APRON, FUEL FARMS, DEICING SYSTEMS AND NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR LANDSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE, A LOT OF FUNDING GOING INTO THE UNDERGROUND UTILITIES ALREADY SPOKEN OF, BUT ALSO PARKING LOTS, ROADWAYS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN HERE, THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IS JUST UNDER $58 MILLION. THAT DOES INCLUDE, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, A $1 MILLION OWNER'S CONTINGENCY. SO IF WE GET INTO THE PROJECT AND SAY, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE NEED TO POLISH THE FLOORS A LITTLE DIFFERENT OR PROVIDE A DIFFERENT FINISH ON THE WALL TO GIVE IT THE LOOK AND FEEL WE WANT. THOSE ARE THINGS WE CAN USE OUR OWNER'S CONTINGENCY FOR. AND THEN THE 1.4 MILLION, JUST UNDER 1.5 IS A CONTRACTOR'S CONTINGENCY THAT COVERS COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THE OTHER FACTORS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF BIDDING, OR SOME OTHER FACTORS THAT COULD. CHANGE THAT PRICE SLIGHTLY. BUT GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE MEANS GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. SO THINGS WE WERE DEALING WITH AS WE'RE PRICING, THIS WAS THERE'S A LOT OF ENABLING EASTSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT SEWER LINE THAT WAS SHOWN ON THE PREVIOUS MAP IS VERY DEEP, AND THERE'S A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. AND IT'S JUST THE, THE, THE LAY OF THE LAND AS IT SITS OUT THERE AND THE LOCATION WE HAVE TO TIE INTO THE EXISTING SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, TARIFFS AND INFLATION FACTORS. THERE'S A LOT OF UNKNOWNS IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW. SO THOSE HAD TO BE CONSIDERED TSA WORKING WITH THEM ON THEIR SECURITY PLANS FOR THE PROGRAM THERE DID EXPAND OUR BUILDING SLIGHTLY BY ABOUT

[00:55:05]

THE BONDS FAILED. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO LOOK AT AND WE DID LOOK AT, WAS WHAT'S CALLED A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT I WANT TO GET IT ON THE RECORD FOR TONIGHT. WHAT A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP DOES, ESSENTIALLY IS A PRIVATE COMPANY OR GROUP COMES IN AND THEY BUILD THIS TERMINAL AND IT'S THEIR MONEY. THEY DO IT. NOW, THIS IS AN FAA AIRPORT OWNED BY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WE CANNOT SELL LAND ON HERE.

THEY CANNOT OWN THE LAND. SO CONSEQUENTLY, WHAT THE MATH IS, IS THAT WE PAY THEM A LEASE PAYMENT FOR THAT. WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU GET TOTAL REVENUE MINUS EXPENSES. THE STAFF SALARY, POWER BILL, THEN THE LEASE PAYMENT, THEN YOU GET PROFITS. AND THEN THERE'S A SPLIT IN THE PROFITS HERE WAS THAT SOUNDS GOOD. BUT HERE'S THE DIFFICULTY. IF WE COULDN'T MAKE THE LEASE PAYMENT, IT GOES BACK AGAINST THE TAXPAYER, AGAINST OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT. WELL THAT BOND FAILED, RIGHT? IT FAILED. BUT WE CAN LEGALLY DO THAT. BUT I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, THIS NEVER CAME UP FOR A VOTE. IT NEVER MADE IT OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. THERE'S NOT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WANTED TO PUT THIS ON ON THE TAXPAYER RISK DOING IT. SO WE STARTED MOVING ON. NOW, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ONE OTHER MAJOR POINT ON THIS THING, AND THEN I'LL MOVE

[01:00:03]

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, MR. MAYOR, AND I'LL HONOR YOUR MOTION NOW. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND YOUR MOTION. THANK YOU. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. DID YOU VOTE? YOU HAVE THE. OH, I PUSHED MINE, I THINK. MOTION PASSES FOR TWO. ITEM

IF SOMEONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.

I'LL SECOND. I'LL SECOND. DID COUNCIL MEMBER FRANKEL. HE TRIED, BUT I THINK MICHAEL JONES BEAT HIM TO THE BUTTON. YEAH. HIS VOICE WAS LOUDER. THERE WAS A TECHNOLOGY THING THERE. I DIDN'T SEE RICK LOSING THAT ONE. NO, NO. OKAY. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES.

AND I'M GOING TO BREAK US FOR A SECOND FROM THE NEXT ITEM, BECAUSE IT WAS SAID BRIEFLY IN THE BEGINNING, AND I MADE COMMENTS ON THE AIRPORT AND WE HAD SOME OPENING COMMENTS, BUT I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE END OF THE MEETING TO CONGRATULATE MAYOR PRO TEM GERRY FELTUS FOR WINNING HER ELECTION AND THE REASON WHY. I WILL TELL YOU, AS SOMEONE THAT HAS SERVED FOR EIGHT YEARS AND CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME MIGHT SAY, IT REALLY IS A TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE. IT IS FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON UP HERE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT DISCUSSION OF LOST SLEEP. I ABSOLUTELY HAVE LOST MYSELF. I'M SURE MANY YEARS OF MY LIFE AND ALL THE SLEEP THAT I'VE LOST, AVERAGING TWO HOURS A NIGHT, MANY, MANY, MANY NIGHTS, MY WIFE WOULD TELL YOU THAT'S ACTUALLY LITERALLY WHAT I'VE DONE. AND AS YOU COME TO THE END OF A TERM AND YOU'VE SERVED AND YOU'VE DONE THE BEST YOU CAN DESPITE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE ALL THE STUFF, ALL THE NOISE AND YOU, YOU YOU'RE GETTING READY TO LEAVE. ON ONE HAND, I CAN TELL YOU I'M COUNTING THE SECONDS. RIGHT? NO DOUBT.

BECAUSE I HAVE THIS FANTASY THAT I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO SLEEP AGAIN. AND QUITE FRANKLY, NOT BEING HATED ON MAYBE AS MUCH ON LINE CERTAINLY HAS SOME APPEAL. BUT THERE'S ALSO YOU, YOU YOU WORRY, YOU KNOW, AS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AS COUNCILS MOVE FORWARD. NOT BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T CAPABLE, PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE, BUT WE ALL HAVE OUR OPINIONS ON WHO IS BY FAR THE MOST CAPABLE AND THE RIGHT FOR THE JOB. WHEN THERE COMES AN ELECTION. AND I DO NOT MEAN THIS IN ANY, I'LL JUST STICK TO YOU AND NOT YOUR OPPONENT. I. I ABSOLUTELY KNEW THAT YOU WINNING THAT ELECTION WAS GOING TO GIVE ME TREMENDOUS PEACE LEAVING. IF THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY TWO HOURS OF SLEEP WOULD BE NOW A GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP MOVING FORWARD. THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ELECTIONS, AND NOT EVERYONE KNOWS IT BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVEN'T WORKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH HER. THOSE WHO HAVE PAID ANY ATTENTION AT ALL, YOU KNOW THAT. AND THAT'S WHY SHE WON SO DECISIVELY. BUT I, I AM, I AM PREPARED TO LEAVE THIS DAIS KNOWING THAT MAYOR PRO TEM ANDRE FELTUS IS ON THIS DAIS FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. SO I HAVE TO SAY THAT. NOW, BACK TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAMING. 2500053 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “AG” - Agriculture District and “RED-2” - Residential Estate District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Located on the Northwest Corner of Airport Drive and Old Mill Road, and Accompanying Ordinance]

[01:10:08]

THANK YOU. AS YOU SAID THAT THIS IS THE MCKINNEY EAST PD REZONE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 10.663 ACRES. THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY LOOK VERY FAMILIAR. IT WAS ACTUALLY BEFORE Y'ALL AS A I-1 ZONING COUNCIL TABLED THE ITEM INDEFINITELY AND REQUESTED THAT THE APPLICANT GO SPEAK WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND THEY ARE NOW BACK AS A PD. THEY HAVE NOW WRITTEN INTO THE PD. IT'S GOING TO HAVE ALL THE SAME I-1 USES THAT WE WERE SEEING PREVIOUSLY. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOW BUILT IN A TEN FOOT REQUIREMENT FOR A SCREENING WALL WITH EVERGREEN SHRUBS.

THERE IS A REQUIRED GATED ACCESS FOR OUTSIDE OF OPERATING HOURS, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO AN ADDITIONAL 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG OLD MILL ROAD. BASED OFF OF THE ALIGNMENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, STAFF IS STILL SUPPORTIVE OF THIS REQUEST AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? NO. DO YOU HAVE SOME ON YOUR SCREEN? I HAVE NOTHING ON MY SCREEN OTHER THAN.

THERE YOU GO. SORRY. I'M SHOWING KYLE AS A SPEAKER ON MY SCREEN. HE WAS THE MOST RECENT SPEAKER.

YEAH. SO LAWRENCE WOULD. THANK YOU. BY THE WAY, THESE ARE NOT SENIOR MOMENTS. THE SCREEN REALLY IS TELLING ME THESE DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT I MAY HAVE A SENIOR MOMENT. MY NAME IS LAWRENCE WOOD. I LIVE AT 1290 OLD MILL ROAD. I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 1976. SO WE'RE KIND OF RELUCTANT FOR THE CHANGE TO HAPPEN. WE ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN. SO OUR CONCERNS ARE I THINK I SPOKE TO HIM LAST TIME I WAS HERE. DRAINAGE ON THE EAST SIDE, TRAFFIC, THE ROAD, AIRPORT BOULEVARD. THERE HAS TO BE REBUILT. IT WILL NOT HANDLE ANY NEW TRAFFIC, I DON'T THINK. AND HOPEFULLY OLD MILL ROAD CAN GET REFURBISHED OR REPAIRED IN FRONT OF OUR PROPERTY AND AROUND LIKE, SAY ON THE THAT SECTION IN FRONT OF US. THE. WE'RE ALSO WORRIED AS AN ARCHITECT, I'M ALSO KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT WHAT BUILDING'S GOING TO GO ON THERE. SO I'M WORRIED ABOUT HOW THE BUILDING'S GOING TO SIT ON THE SITE, AND HOPEFULLY IT WON'T SIT RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE SO I WON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT. AND HOPEFULLY IT'S A HANDSOME BUILDING. SO IN ADDITION TO WHAT SHE SPOKE ABOUT, THE ADDITIONAL LIGHTING, CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. BUT THE LANDSCAPE, THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND THE FENCING ARE IMPORTANT TO US, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN RESOLVE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AS WE GO FORWARD. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. GEORGINA WOODS WOULD START ME UP BECAUSE I HAVE SOME HANDOUTS FOR YOU. JUSTIN, WOULD YOU GRAB ALL OF THEM? YEAH, IF YOU'LL JUST HAND THEM ALL TO JUST PASS THEM DOWN. PASS THEM DOWN JUST SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH. YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND START ME, BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, I'M GOING TO SAY THAT THE LAST TIME I ADDRESSED YOU ALL, I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T DO IT CORRECTLY, THAT I NEEDED TO SAY MAYOR, MR. MAYOR, AND ESTEEMED COUNCILMEN AND COUNCILWOMEN. SO I'M GOING TO RECTIFY THAT RIGHT NOW AND SAY THAT TO YOU. I DO APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL ASKING FOR THESE CONCESSIONS. OKAY. SORRY. I DO HAVE A SOFT VOICE. I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL ASKING FOR THESE CONCESSIONS. THE THING I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS THE SCREENING. TEN FOOT TALL SCREENING DEVICE ALONG ALL PROPERTY LINES CONSTRUCTED OF WROUGHT IRON OR TUBULAR SCREEN WITH TALL GREEN EVERGREEN WITH TALL EVERGREEN SCREENING SHRUBS. THAT THAT SCREEN IS JUST EXACTLY THE SAME. IT WAS BUILT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WHAT I CALL THE BEHEMOTH, BUT IT'S REALLY THE TWO WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS ALONG AIRPORT DRIVE AND HARRY MCKILLOP, THE TOP PAGE OF WHAT I HANDED YOU WAS WHAT WAS SENT TO ME BY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AT&T, WHICH CLEARLY, CLEARLY, EXCUSE ME, SHOWS A VERY HANDSOME

[01:15:01]

HELLO. MY NAME IS JULIE COX, AND I LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET AT 1280 OLD MILL ROAD, RIGHT NEXT TO GEORGINA WOODY. AND I'VE LIVED THERE 20 YEARS, AND I KNOW I WAS HERE TALKING TO YOU GUYS LAST MONTH ON MARCH 18TH, AND I APPRECIATE THE CONCESSIONS FOR THE FENCING AND THE OTHER ITEMS WE HAVE AS FAR AS NOISE AND. YOU KNOW, JUST THE TRYING TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO A WAREHOUSE AS OPPOSED TO OUR COUNTRY HOME WE'VE HAD FOR 20 YEARS. SO JUST HOPING THAT THEY TAKE IN TO CONSIDERATION THE TRAFFIC AND THERE'S NO REAL SIDEWALKS AND THAT KIND OF THING. SO, YOU KNOW, JUST I DID BRING UP THE WATER. I'M JUST I KNOW THERE'S SOME EXISTING ISSUES. I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO MAKE IT WORSE. SO THAT WAS MY HOPE NOT TO PUT IT ON THEM, BUT JUST FOR THEM TO, YOU KNOW, NOT IT WASN'T BUILT FOR BIG BUILDINGS. IT WAS BUILT FOR, YOU KNOW, RURAL STORM DRAINAGE. SO ANYWAY, THAT DOES DUMP IN THE BACK OF MY PROPERTY, BUT MAINLY OUR LITTLE COMMUNITY. IF WE CAN KEEP IT. I KNOW THEIR PORT'S COMING. I KNOW CHANGE IS COMING, BUT JUST KIND OF IF WE CAN COEXIST, I, I KNOW THERE'S NOT A LOT OF SENSE OF SAYING WE OPPOSE IT, BUT IT IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE'D LIKE TO STAY, YOU KNOW, AND COEXIST THE BEST WE CAN. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE TO HELP US WITH THAT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MIKE. I DON'T KNOW IF MIKE WERE YOU. DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? IS IT I HAVE I HAVE A CARD FROM YOU, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THIS OR ANOTHER ITEM BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SAY WHICH ITEM NUMBER.

YEAH, I CAN SAY A QUICK WORD AND THEN THEY KNOW ALL THE DETAILS. BUT ANYWAYS, HOW ARE YOU GUYS? GOOD. YEAH. SO I GUESS IT WAS AROUND FIVE YEARS AGO. I WENT AND KNOCKED ON THE CINDERBLOCK BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET, WALKED PAST THE CHAIN LINK FENCE. IT'S THE SOUTHWESTERN BELL, WHICH IS AT&T. AND I SAID, HEY, WHO DO I TALK TO? BECAUSE I MAY BE INTERESTED IN THIS BUILDING. AND, AND THE SPACE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF KNOWING THAT CITY HALL WAS WAS COMING HERE.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WORKED ON THIS DEAL FOR, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO FIVE YEARS NOW AND IT'S FINALLY COMING TO FRUITION NOW, THANKS TO YOU GUYS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NICE SPUR 3.99, WHICH WILL KIND OF COME RIGHT THROUGH THERE. AND ALSO AIRPORT DRIVE, WHICH IS THE MAIN NORTH SOUTH THAT WILL INTERSECT THAT. SO I THINK IN THE IN THE MASTER PLAN FOR THAT AREA, THIS PROPERTY SITS IN WHAT THEY CALL A PROFESSIONAL CENTER. SO I THINK THE CITY HAD BIG PLANS FOR THIS, THIS INTERSECTION. SO WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO IS CREATE SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY GOOD AS FAR AS THE WATER THAT, YOU KNOW, WE RODE UP AND DOWN OLD MILL, YOU KNOW, AROUND TO SOME OF THESE PLACES SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT AND WATER WAS COMING ACROSS THE STREET AND SOME OF THESE AREAS. NOW, THE BEAUTY OF WHAT AT&T IS DOING IS THEY'RE CREATING A REALLY NICE DETENTION POND, SO YOU WON'T HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS ANYMORE. AND SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS. AND WITH THAT I CAN YOU KNOW, I'M EXCITED. THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH ROOM SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT. THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH ROOM AROUND THE AIRPORT. BUT I KNOW THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS STRATEGIC FOR THE CITY. AND SO

[01:20:04]

IT WOULD BE AT&T. YOU'RE HERE REPRESENTING AT&T. SO IF YOU'LL COME UP AS THE APPLICANT. YEAH.

MY NAME IS GIRISH NARAYAN. I'M WITH SHOAL CREEK CAPITAL PARTNERS. OUR ADDRESS IS AND THEN THIS IS WILSON BAUER. BAUER WE'RE WITH SHOAL CREEK CAPITAL PARTNERS. WE'RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING THIS ON BEHALF OF AT&T. OUR ADDRESS IS 4723 MEMPHIS STREET, DALLAS, TEXAS.

75207. SO WE RECEIVED A, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A MESSAGE AND PICTURES. AND IT BASICALLY SHOWS WHAT THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS BY THE CITY IS FOR SCREENING. I MEAN, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR THE SCREENING IS WILL YOU BE ENHANCING THIS OR JUST GIVING THE BARE MINIMUM THAT'S REQUIRED BY OUR BY OUR ORDINANCE. SO THE SO THE BARE MINIMUM IS SIX FOOT SCREENING WALL SURROUNDING OUTDOOR STORAGE OF VEHICLES. WE ARE TRYING TO AND WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE PROPOSED VIA THE PD IS AN ENHANCEMENT OF THAT BY GOING TEN FOOT TALL WITH LANDSCAPING THAT'S SURROUNDING THE FENCE AS WELL TO SCREEN FURTHER. YEAH, EVERGREEN SHRUBS LAID EVERY THREE FEET. SO ALMOST I THINK ALMOST 1100 SHRUBS PLANTED. IT'S ESSENTIALLY GOING TO CREATE AN OPAQUE WALL SO THAT YOU'RE NOT LOOKING INTO THE PROPERTY. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR PROPERTY. YEAH. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I HAVE A COMMENT FOR YOU GUYS. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE. I APPRECIATE THE RESPECT THAT YOU'RE GIVING, WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A TRANSITIONING NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF SPUR 399. I KNOW WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS AREA IN THE FUTURE, IT'S, YOU KNOW, GOING TO HAVE SPUR 399 RIGHT OVERHEAD, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF STUFF. IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF STUFF LIKE YOURS. BUT WE DO HAVE THESE EXISTING HOMEOWNERS, AND I THINK YOU'VE SHOWN A LOT OF RESPECT AND DIGNITY. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I'VE GOT A COMMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL WANT TO STAND FOR IT BECAUSE IT'S TOWARD THE WHOLE PROJECT, BUT I FIRST I WANT TO RECOGNIZE LAWRENCE AND GEORGENE AND JULIE. Y'ALL ADVOCATED FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE REASON TO BE SO PROUD OF WHAT THE OLD MILL COMMUNITY IS. GEORGINE, YOU SHARED WITH ME KIND OF THE HISTORY OF THIS AREA, AND IT HAS A LONG HISTORY IN MCKINNEY AS KIND OF BEING A.

YOU KNOW, A PART OF THIS LARGER MCKINNEY COMMUNITY. AND Y'ALL HAVE Y'ALL HAVE STEWARDED THAT FOR 50 YEARS. AND WE WE'VE GOT TO TAKE CARE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE RESPECT THAT AND WE PROTECT THAT THAT YOU HAVE. AND I APPRECIATE MIKE AND YOU GUYS FOR MAKING THESE CONCESSIONS. I DO THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH MAKING SURE THAT THEY STILL FEEL LIKE THEY'RE AT THEIR HOME. THEY'RE NOT IN THE CENTER OF A WAREHOUSE. IS IMPORTANT THAT THAT THE LANDSCAPING BUFFERS THE SCREENING, PROTECTING EVERY PECAN TREE YOU CAN OUT THERE.

AND I THINK THAT YOU CAN TRY TO DO THAT WITH A 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME BEAUTIFUL TREES OUT THERE AND PROTECTING AND UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'VE GOT NEIGHBORS HERE THAT ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, A WAREHOUSE THAT'S BEING LEASED TO A THIRD NATIONAL THIRD PARTY TENANT OUT THERE. YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPENT 50 YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND SO WE'RE KIND OF LAYING A LOT ON YOU, AND WE APPRECIATE THESE CONCESSIONS TO BE ON THAT. YOU'VE GIVEN THE OTHER PARTS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I SAID THIS TO GEORGINE, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SAY IT PUBLICLY, THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT NEED TO BE IMPROVED. THERE ARE PROTECTIONS WE HAVE TO MAKE WITH ACCESS TO GIVE ALTERNATIVE ROUTES. I WENT TO A PUBLIC MEETING. I MEAN, IT WAS A MEETING WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AIRPORT ROAD BEING DIFFICULT AND ESPECIALLY DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THAT THAT COUCH DRIVE, IF YOU GO TO THE WEST A LITTLE BIT, IS AN ALTERNATE, AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE, BUT IT IS A DANGEROUS TURN. AND WHEN I LEFT Y'ALL'S Y'ALL'S HOUSE THAT EVENING, I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED, I GOT FLIPPED OFF, I GOT HONKED AT, AND IT IS A DANGEROUS TURN. THAT WAS ME. BUT TO BE FAIR, THAT OFTEN HAPPENS TO YOU. IT DOES, IT DOES. BUT BUT BUT THE, I

[01:25:02]

NO, I THOUGHT MY MOTION WORKED. MOTION PASSES. ITEM 2500312. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO

THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU COUNCIL. THE STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT THIS ITEM BE TABLED DUE TO A PUBLIC NOTICING ERROR, SO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TABLE IT INDEFINITELY. WE WILL RE NOTICE IT PRIOR TO IT COMING BACK BEFORE Y'ALL. THANK YOU. IS THERE A MOTION, MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TABLE THIS INDEFINITELY. SECOND. ALL RIGHT RICK, YOU GOT THE BUTTON BEFORE YOU YOU GOT TO HIT THE BUTTON. HIT THE BUTTON. YOU WIN. HIT THE BUTTON. OKAY. MOTION PASSES 230093 Z2 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON

[01:30:05]

OUR PROPERTY HOLDINGS ARE SHOWN HERE. WHAT WE DO IS BUY LARGE TRACTS OF LAND AND COME IN WITH MAJOR MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES. SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE STATS ON AUSTIN RANCH, CYPRESS WATERS, WHICH ARE, AS YOU CAN SEE, SORT OF TWICE THE SIZE OF WHAT WE'RE SPEAKING RIGHT NOW. AND BUT THEN WE'VE GOT THESE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES THROUGH WHEN WE'RE DOING THESE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES, WE KNOW THAT THE FIRST THING WE DO IS HAVE TO DEFINE THE PUBLIC REALM.

WE'VE GOT TO SAY, WHAT IS THAT ENVIRONMENT TO BE LIKE? ONCE THE PUBLIC REALM IS CREATED, THEN YOU CAN COME IN WITH THE BUILDINGS AND THE AMENITIES. SO THE PARKS, THE LAKES, THE TRAILS, THESE THINGS ARE WHAT WE THINK THROUGH FIRST. WHEN WE COME IN WITH ANY BUILDING, THE FIRST THING WE DO IMPACTS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S LEFT. SO WE HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT AND ENHANCE THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT HAPPENS AS WE GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH. SO OUR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT, I THINK, IS UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE WE SEE IN THE METROPLEX OR AROUND. WE ARE DEEPLY COMMITTED TO A HIGHLY ARTICULATED DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF BRICK AND VERY DEFINITE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES. WE, BY AND LARGE, HAVE BEEN VERY TRADITIONAL IN OUR STYLING. THIS IS ACTUALLY TWO TOWNHOMES, ONE ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR, THE OTHER ON THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH, AND IT'S HIDING A GARAGE. SO WE CONSTANTLY ARE CREATING STREETSCAPE AND HIDING THE GARAGES. THESE BLUE ENTRIES ARE AGAIN, EVERYBODY ON THE STREET HAS A FRONT DOOR FACING THE STREET. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN ARCHITECTURE AS WE MOVE AROUND THE BLOCK. WE WANT TO CHANGE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE SO YOU FEEL LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD, SOMETHING THAT COMES UP OVER TIME. NOW WE ALSO HAVE BUILT A WHOLE LOT OF TOWNHOMES FOR RENT. AGAIN, HIDING GARAGES AND. WE'VE PROBABLY BUILT 600, 600, 700 TOWNHOMES FOR RENT, CLUBHOUSES. WE VARY WITH EACH PROJECT TO REFLECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IT'S IN. THIS IS MORE TOWNHOMES, MORE TOWNHOMES. PUBLIC AMENITIES FOR THE RESIDENTS. WE TRY TO KNOCK IT OUT AND STAND FOR SOMETHING QUITE SIGNIFICANT. I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING. TOWNHOMES.

EXCUSE ME. PLAZAS. THIS. WE WANT THIS TO BE FUN TO USE BUT BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK DOWN ON. WE

[01:35:07]

YOU CAN DO A LOT OF AMENITIES. SO AT CYPRESS WATERS WE'VE GOT THE THREE. TENNIS AND PART OF THE TENNIS ARE ALSO PICKLEBALL. SO YOU'VE GOT 814 PICKLEBALL COURTS. WE HAVE SOUND STAGE. WE DO EVENTS YOU CAN SEE FROM YOGA TO MUSIC TO PICNICS TO BOHO MARKETS. WE HAVE A PUTTING GREEN SCULPTURE THAT'S INTERACTIVE, BUT SCULPTURE ALL OVER THE PLACE. ON THE TRAIL WE HAVE 30 BIG STONE BOULDERS WITH QUOTES, AND THESE ARE THE SHADING DEVICES. SO WE REALLY I MEAN, LOOK, I MEAN EVEN JUST THIS SHADING DEVICE, WE TRY REALLY HARD TO HAVE IT BE SOMETHING PLEASANT. THE SHACKS, WE HAVE A GREAT DOG PARKS AND THIS ONE HAPPENS TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL TREES WITH IT. AND IT'S IN DOG PARKS, PARTIALLY IN A FLOODPLAIN. YOU DON'T NEED THE VIDEO. LET ME GET PAST THAT. I DON'T THINK YOU NEED THAT VIDEO. I WANTED TO JUST SHOW YOU THIS IMAGE BECAUSE THIS IS THE LITTLE YELLOW AREA SHOWS YOU 200 TOWNHOMES THAT WE BUILT AS A NEIGHBORHOOD. I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE HERE OR NOT. THAT'S US. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF I MIGHT.

YOU BUILD A WONDERFUL PRODUCT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S A LOT OF FUN. COME OUT AND SEEN IT AND SEE WHAT YOU DO AND YOU CREATE QUITE A SENSE OF PLACE, NO DOUBT. ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS, BUT YOU TALKED ABOUT SORT OF THAT TRIGGER FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTIFAMILY, DEPENDING ON THE COST FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE 380 BYPASS. AND IS THAT THE 380 BYPASS FRONTAGE OR THE ENTIRE 380 BYPASS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AS IS WRITTEN IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, IT IS JUST NOTED AS THE 380 BYPASS. IT DOESN'T DELINEATE FRONTAGE OR BYPASS. OKAY. I JUST THINK THAT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF SPECIFICATION, IF YOU DON'T MIND. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO IS THERE A MOTION, MR. MAYOR, I, I APPRECIATE STAFF GOING OVER THIS WITH US. I NEED A BIT MORE TIME ON SOME LAND USE ISSUES. AND SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS. OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND ON THAT MOTION. I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT. CAST YOUR VOTE. SEE WHERE WE GO FROM HERE, PLEASE. IT WAS. DID YOU CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES. MICHAEL, DID YOU HIT YOUR BUTTON? THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. MOTION PASSES. IT WILL BE TABLED. LAST ITEM 250001M TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on an Amendment to Chapter 150, entitled “Unified Development Code,” of the Code of Ordinances, City of McKinney, Texas, to make Certain Substantive Changes to Article 2 (Zoning Regulations) and specifically to Section 205 (Use Regulations) and to Section 206 (Development Standards) and accompanying Ordinance]

AND SO TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND EXECUTE ON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM YOU. SO WE'RE MOSTLY FOCUSING ON DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO THOSE RESTAURANTS. HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A SMALL ADDENDUM FOCUSING ON PARKING AREAS JUST WITH THE NOTICING REQUIREMENTS OF THE UDC. EVERY NOW AND THEN WE GET A CHANCE TO KIND OF COMBINE THOSE. SO I WILL TOUCH ON THAT AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. SO YOU'RE AWARE OF WHAT THAT IS. FOR RESTAURANTS WITH DRIVE INS OR DRIVE THRUS AS IT EXISTS

[01:40:03]

BUT THERE IS A PROVISION, TWO DIFFERENT PROVISIONS TO REDUCE THAT. SO FIRST IS JUST BLANKET THAT DISTANCE CAN BE REDUCED TO 150FT WHEN ACROSS THE STREET. SO IF YOU'VE GOT THAT THOROUGH YOU KNOW THAT THAT STREET NEXT TO YOU THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE SOME NOISE. SO MAYBE THAT DISTANCE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, HELP ACCOMMODATE SOME EXISTING BUSINESSES WE HAVE. AND IN ANY CASE A RESTAURANT CAN COME FORWARD FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO BE LESS THAN THAT 150 OR 200, WHICHEVER IS APPLICABLE TO THAT PROPERTY. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, WE DO HAVE CRITERIA IN OUR HIGHER INTENSITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS AS WELL AS OUR INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS FOR THESE USES. SO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE USE CHART WILL STAY THE SAME. IT'S JUST THE CRITERIA THAT WE'VE LISTED WILL CHANGE THERE. I'LL MAKE A NOTE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY RESTAURANTS IN OUR RESIDENTIAL, I MEAN OUR INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS. BUT OF COURSE THE CRITERIA WOULD NEED TO APPLY IF THOSE CONDITIONS EVER AROSE. WE DO HAVE SOME EXISTING BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AND ARE IN OPERATION THAT WILL NOT MEET THESE NEW CODE REQUIREMENTS. SO I WANTED TO TAKE A SECOND TO TALK ABOUT LEGAL NONCONFORMING USES, AS WELL AS OUR OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY THOSE FOLKS. GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT HAPPENS PLENTY OF TIMES WHEN WE UPDATE OUR CODE THAT AN EXISTING BUSINESS MIGHT NOT MEET NEW CODE. AND SO THESE BUSINESSES OR PROPERTIES ARE CONSIDERED LEGAL NONCONFORMING IN GENERAL TERMS, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR USE.

IT'S NOT OUR INTENT TO RETROACTIVELY CHANGE THOSE FOR THOSE PROPERTIES. AND THE ENTITLEMENT TO THAT STATUS DOES RUN WITH THE LAND. THE PROPERTY OWNERS CAN CHANGE, THE OPERATORS CAN CHANGE, AND IN GENERAL, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING THEIR BUSINESS WITH NO NOTICE FROM THE CITY. THERE ARE TWO CONDITIONS IN WHICH THAT WOULD CHANGE. IF THAT USE STOPPED FOR 12 MONTHS, THEY COULD NOT REOCCUPY WITH THAT USE AND THEY CAN'T EXPAND THE USE.

SO WE DON'T WANT THAT NONCONFORMITY TO INCREASE IN INTENSITY. AND SO WITH THIS NEW AMENDMENT TO THE CODE, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PURSUE THAT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ASK FOR THAT REQUEST. AS WE LOOKED THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THAT DID END UP IMPACTING 15 DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS, AND BY STATE LAW, WE WERE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY THEM AS THE OPERATORS AS WELL AS PROPERTY OWNERS. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE IMAGE THAT IT'S PRETTY WELL SPREAD ACROSS THE CITY.

IT'S NOT REALLY CONCENTRATED IN ONE PLACE WHERE WE SAW THESE, YOU KNOW, RESTAURANTS APPEAR.

AND THROUGH THOSE NOTICES, WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO SPEAK TO A HANDFUL OF RESTAURANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ANSWERED ANY CONCERNS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE ABOUT HOW THESE REGULATIONS WOULD IMPACT THEM. SO THAT IS THE RESTAURANT PORTION. JUST BRIEFLY, I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS DESIGN EXCEPTION REQUEST THAT WE HAVE ADDED INTO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS A SMALL REQUEST. AS WE ADOPT NEW CODE, THERE ARE CONDITIONS WHERE MELDING OLD CODE WITH NEW CODE MIGHT REQUIRE A SECOND EYE TO MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE SEAMLESS. AND SO IN THE CASE TONIGHT, WE HAVE A PARKING ADJACENCY BUFFER THAT WAS ADDED TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. SO THIS REQUIRES THAT PARKING AREAS FOR NONRESIDENTIAL USES HAVE TO BE 25FT AWAY. I MEAN SORRY, 20FT AWAY FROM A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE OR ZONE. THIS IMAGE DOES A GREAT JOB OF SHOWING HOW THAT WAS NOT TRUE IN OLD CODE. SO IF YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PARKING RIGHT UP AGAINST THAT PROPERTY LINE. HOWEVER, ON THE LEFT, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TIMES ON THESE COMMERCIAL CORNERS WE'LL SEE THAT FIRE LANES ARE PLANNED OUT LONG IN ADVANCE. MAYBE THEY'RE PLATTED, MAYBE THEY'RE BUILT. AND SO SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES THAT ARE COMING IN LATER TO FULLY DEVELOP THE SITE ARE AT A DIFFERENT A LITTLE BIT OF A DISADVANTAGE. AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE FITTING THE PARKING THAT THEY ORIGINALLY INTENDED ON SITE. SO WHAT STAFF IS PROPOSING TONIGHT IS A DESIGN EXCEPTION TO ALLOW THAT TO BE REDUCED TO TEN FEET. AS A BRIEF REMINDER, A DESIGN EXCEPTION IS NOT A STAFF LEVEL APPROVAL. IT WOULD REQUIRE A PUBLIC NOTICE AND A PUBLIC HEARING AT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. SO THE IDEA IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE CONDITIONS WHERE THIS MAKES SENSE, BUT WE SHOULD STILL HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF SCRUTINY. AND SO JUST ALONG WITH THAT, PNC WOULD EVALUATE THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, CREATES A UNIFIED LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND REVIEW THOSE REQUESTS. AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU. I TRIED

[01:45:05]

YES. DOES IT KIND OF TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME? IT DOES. BUT THERE IS A PATHWAY FOR THEM TO STILL HAVE A SPEAKER BOX THERE. SO I MY POINT IS NOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH OUR SISTER CITIES AT ALL. AND I YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WITH HAVING HAD A FEW CASES WHERE WE'VE HAD SPEAKER BOXES TOO CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS, I'D MUCH RATHER LEAN INTO PROTECTING THE RESIDENTS AT THIS POINT AND THEN HAVING THESE FOLKS COME IN AND JUST APPLY FOR THE VARIANCE. THAT'S JUST MY POSITION. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE I MEAN, I JUST FEEL LIKE IF WE'RE GOING THROUGH ALL THIS, WE'RE PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER AND THEY CAN JUST STILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL ANYWAY. SO WHY DO ALL THIS? BUT JUST JUST MY THOUGHTS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. SEEING NONE I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM. I'LL SECOND. CAST YOUR VOTES. DOCTOR. MOTION HAS PASSED. THAT IS THE END OF OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING. WE'VE ALREADY HAD PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON AGENDA ITEMS. COUNCIL COMMENTS.

[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]

[01:50:04]

YOU KNOW, THESE GUYS HAVE REALLY BECOME LIKE MY BROTHERS, AND THEY HELD ME UP AND SUPPORTED ME LIKE THEY WERE MY BROTHERS. SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, MICHAEL. THANK YOU PATRICK. THANK YOU RICK. THANK YOU JUSTIN, FOR YOUR SUPPORT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO. SO I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE CANDIDATES THAT STEPPED UP TO RUN AND TO REPRESENT, BECAUSE YOU'RE PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE TO BE CONSTANTLY CRITICIZED AND RIDICULED SOMETIMES. AND IT'S NOT EASY TO DO THAT, AND IT'S NOT EASY TO FINISH IT AND REALLY STAY FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES AND REALLY TRY TO STAY FOCUSED ON REACHING THE VOTERS WHO REALLY NEED TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND UNDERSTAND BETTER WHY. YOU KNOW, I WAS SEEKING THEIR SUPPORT, BUT WE HAD GREAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND I AM JUST INCREDIBLY HONORED TO DO THIS. I WANT TO SAY TO GEORGE, AND I'M GOING TO SAVE A LOT OF MY COMMENTS FOR LATER, BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO HONOR HIM. MAY 30TH, WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING A CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF GEORGE AND ALL OF HIS ACHIEVEMENTS HERE IN MCKINNEY AT THE SANCTUARY. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TOUCHED BY THIS MAN, COME OUT AND TELL HIM BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO HEAR IT. THIS WAS A LOT OF WORK FOR EIGHT YEARS, A LOT OF WORK. AND I'M NOT GOING TO CRY. BUT I WILL SAY IS I'VE LEARNED WHAT COURAGE REALLY LOOKS LIKE IN LEADERSHIP BECAUSE IT TAKES SOME COURAGE TO LEAD A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE. IT TAKES SOME NO MATTER WHAT, AND YOU CAN DO IT AND STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF COURAGE AND NOT RUFFLE ANY FEATHERS AND NOT REALLY GET VERY MUCH DONE. IT TAKES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF COURAGE TO DO WHAT HE HAS DONE OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. I'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO STEP UP AND TO REALLY STAND BEHIND YOUR CONVICTIONS, BUT NOT TO DISENGAGE, RIGHT? TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE EVERYONE, WHETHER THEY AGREE OR DISAGREE, AND TO STAND FIRMLY BEHIND YOUR DECISIONS. I WANT TO THANK HIS WIFE AND HIS FAMILY FOR GIVING HIM TO US FOR THESE LAST EIGHT YEARS. I BELIEVE THAT THE IMPACT THAT HE'S MADE ON MCKINNEY WILL BE THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT WE WILL EVER SEE, AND I'M HONORED TO SIT HERE BESIDE YOU AND TO SERVE WITH YOU, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO NEXT. BUT ONE THING TO THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE OTHER SUPPORTERS. I'M NOT GOING TO FORGET YOU. WE'RE GOING TO TALK. I'M GOING TO NAME YOU ONE BY ONE, I PROMISE, BECAUSE YOU ALL STEPPED UP AND HELPED IN SO MANY WAYS, BUT DEFINITELY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THIS COUNCIL TONIGHT. JUSTIN, BEFORE YOU GO, I HAVE ONE MORE THING. VERY IMPORTANT TODAY BECAUSE HE'S OUT THERE WATCHING ME TODAY IS A MASON, MY SON'S 11TH BIRTHDAY, HAPPY AND SAD. I COULDN'T I COULDN'T BE WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. I'M GOING TO GO HOME AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME CAKE. BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE WATCHING ME, BUDDY. BE HOME SOON. YEAH, WE DID HAVE A LONG TIME BETWEEN LAST MEETING, SO I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO MENTION. I ECHO WHAT YOU SAID ON CITY HALL. PAUL BERRY, TRISH, ALL THE STAFF DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF PREPPING INTO THAT DAY AND FOR THAT DAY. AND EMPRESS DID A GREAT JOB OF EMCEEING IT. AND THE VENUE PUBLIC MEETING. I THOUGHT THEY THEY HEARD CITIZENS CONCERNS GOING INTO IT, AND THEY OUTLINED A PLAN TO DEAL WITH

[01:55:03]

THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE DUE JUNE 20TH. SO IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER AND SERVE ON A BOARD, THEN YOU NEED TO START THAT EFFORT. AND APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY JUNE 20TH. A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. THE MCKINNEY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HOSTED THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER. MR. MAYOR AND I WENT TO THAT WITH LEWIS ROSENTHAL AND HIS CHURCH ON MAY 1ST. ALSO ON MAY 1ST WAS THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS, WHICH MCKINNEY ISD HAD TO RESCHEDULE AFTER A RAINOUT. BUT SEAN PRATT AND HIS TEAM, ESPECIALLY JANICE MORRIS, WHO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF PUTTING THAT ON AND WELCOMING SO MANY DIFFERENT SCHOOLS INTO THAT. IT'S A BIG EVENT. EVERYBODY'S EXCITED TO BE THERE AND LUCKILY THEY FINALLY GOT SOME GOOD WEATHER. ON SATURDAY. DEBORAH BRADFORD AND HER GROUP ANGELA RICHARDSON WOODS DID ANOTHER EVENT AT WOODSIDE AND I JUST I ALWAYS WANT TO MENTION THAT BECAUSE THEIR CONSISTENCY IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN THAT EFFORT THAT THEY'RE DOING. AND I WANT TO BE CONSISTENT AND RECOGNIZING THAT THEY INVITED MILL HOUSE OUT TO DO WITH BETH AND AMY TO DO AN ART SERIES FOR THE KIDS THERE. AND SO IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY ON SATURDAY, AND IT WAS FUN TO SEE ALL THE KIDS. I THINK DAIRY QUEEN PROVIDED LUNCH AND THEY HAD POPSICLES AND EVERYTHING, AND IT WAS JUST A GREAT DAY OUT THERE. A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THE BYRON NELSON I WANTED TO MENTION FOR DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT THE BYRON NELSON. ONE WAS I GOT TO GO TO A KICKOFF DINNER WITH THE CJ GROUP, WHICH IS INTERESTING. NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE CJ GROUP IS. THEY ARE A LET ME GET THE WORD WRONG, BUT A TIE BALL BOWL IN SOUTH KOREA, WHICH IS A IT'S A CONGLOMERATE. SO THEY WERE ONE OF THE LARGEST SOUTH KOREAN COMPANIES THERE. HEAD. THERE'S THEIR CHAIRMAN OF THEIR THEIR ORGANIZATION IS ONE OF THE GRANDSONS OF SAMSUNG OF THE GUY WHO WHO FOUNDED SAMSUNG, WHICH IS THE LARGEST CHAEBOL IN SOUTH KOREA. BUT THEY THEY KIND OF INFILTRATE A LOT OF THINGS IN OUR LIVES, FOOD RELATED. I GREW UP ON SCHWAN'S FROZEN FOOD, AND THEY OWN THAT. THEY OWN SOME FROZEN PIZZA THINGS IN THAT THEY HAVE ENTERTAINMENT. MY KID IS CURRENTLY MAKING ME WATCH SEVERANCE, WHICH THEY ARE THE PRODUCER OF. THEY HAVE A CINEMA GROUP, THEY HAVE SOME SOUTH KOREAN FOOD, WHICH THEY FORCED ME TO EAT AND WASN'T BAD. THAT IS CALLED BIBIGO, WHICH YOU SAW IN ALL OF THE LOGOS AROUND THE BYRON, NELSON, AND THEY EMPLOY 13,000 PEOPLE IN THE US, ABOUT 10% OF THOSE IN TEXAS. AND SO REALLY A BIG IMPACT THAT I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE. AND SO I APPRECIATE THEIR HOSPITALITY AND THEIR. BEING THE NAME SPONSOR FOR THIS TOURNAMENT. THE TOURNAMENT'S GREAT BECAUSE ONE REASON I LOVE IT IS BECAUSE IT HONORS BYRON NELSON. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO BYRON NELSON IS, BYRON NELSON IS A NORTH TEXAS GUY BORN IN 1912, I THINK, ALONG WITH BEN HOGAN AND SAM SNEAD, THEY WERE ALL BORN TOGETHER.

BYRON WON 11 CONSECUTIVE TOURNAMENTS IN 1945, 18 TOURNAMENTS THAT YEAR. HE IS HE IS KNOWN FOR THAT STREAK. IT'S THE LONGEST STREAK OF CONSECUTIVE TOURNAMENTS. AND THEN HE RETIRED AT THE AGE OF 34. AND IF YOU WATCH THE MASTERS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THE GUY WHO WON THE MASTERS WAS 35. SO HE RETIRED EARLY AT 34 TO GO HOME AND BE A RANCHER WITH HIS WIFE. AND THEY LIVED IN THE NORTHWEST SECTION OF DFW. AND WHAT HE IS KNOWN FOR IS HIS KINDNESS AND JUST HE IS HE IS THE SALT OF THE EARTH. AND TO HONOR A MAN LIKE THAT AND THE SCHEFFLER WON IT. SCHEFFLER THEY HAVE A PICTURE THAT THEY KEPT SHOWING OF SCHEFFLER COMING TO THE BYRON NELSON SITTING WITH BYRON OR GETTING TO MEET BYRON AND THEN COMING FULL CIRCLE.

BYRON'S WIFE PEGGY GIVING SCHEFFLER THE TROPHY THIS WEEKEND WAS WAS FUN TO SEE.

THERE'S A STORY THAT GOES AROUND THAT BYRON HAS A CONNECTION TO MCKINNEY IN THE 1940S, DURING THE WAR, WE HAD THE ASHBURN GENERAL HOSPITAL UP HERE IN WHAT IS NOW JOB CORPS, AND BYRON RAISED MONEY FOR THEM TO PUT A GOLF COURSE NEXT TO THAT, AND THEY PUT A NINE HOLE GOLF COURSE. AND I THINK ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T SEEN DOCUMENTATION ON IT, I THINK HE WAS HERE FOR THE

[02:00:04]

THERE'S SUCH GREAT PARTNERS AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT JUSTIN MENTIONED, THE MAYOR, BRIAN LOCKMILLER, DAVID CRAIG, ALL CAME TOGETHER ONE DAY ON A RAINY DAY AND CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF MOVING THIS BYRON NELSON UP TO MCKINNEY. AND IT WAS JUST IT WAS AMAZING HOW IT CAME TOGETHER.

CITY MANAGER HAD A LOT OF INPUT TO HELP PUT THIS TOGETHER AND A LOT OF MOVING PARTS IN ORDER FOR IT TO MOVE. YOU WERE THERE AS WELL? YEAH, I WAS THERE. OKAY. AND JUST TO SAY, AND IF NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE SALESMANSHIP CLUB, THEY'VE BEEN IN DALLAS FOR TENS OF YEARS, TENS OF NOT HUNDREDS, BUT PROBABLY 60 YEARS. AND THEY STARTED OUT DOING BOYS CAMPS IN EAST TEXAS. AND EVENTUALLY THE LIABILITY GOT TOO MUCH. SO THEY THEY PULLED OUT OF THAT. AND THEN THEY STARTED THE MOMENTOUS SCHOOL IN DALLAS. AND THEY HELPED SO MANY KIDS AND PROVIDE AN EDUCATION TO KIDS THAT THAT WOULDN'T HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. SO THE MONEY THAT'S MADE UP HERE GOES TO THAT SCHOOL. AND IF YOU HADN'T BEEN DOWN THERE AND TALKED TO THE KIDS AND SEE HOW THEY OPERATE, IT'S AMAZING. AND SO THANKS TO THEM, THEY THEY PUT ALL THIS HARD WORK AND THOSE GUYS COME UP. AND FOR A WEEK THEY SPEND UP IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. THEY ACTUALLY GET MOTEL ROOMS AND GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE TO THE TOURNAMENT. SO THEY PUT IN A LOT OF HARD WORK. BUT IT'S SUCH A FANTASTIC EVENT. I KNOW WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING TO EXTEND THE TOURNAMENT AND I THINK WE'LL GET THERE. AND IT GROWS EVERY YEAR. EVERY YEAR THEY ADD HOSPITALITY AND EVERY YEAR IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER. AND THEY'RE FIXING TO SPEND ANOTHER $20 MILLION ON THE ON THE CLUB AND THE COURSE BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT YEAR'S TOURNAMENT. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE BECAUSE THE SCORES WERE IN THE 20S AND WHEN THEY HIT THE 31, YOU GOT TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT HARDER. SO AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH THAT I'M SO GLAD THAT JERRY GOT BACK ON THE COUNCIL AND YOU WON YOUR ELECTION. IT'S A LITTLE BIT SELFISH BECAUSE I LIKE SERVING WITH YOU. AND I SIT THERE AND I WATCH THE THINGS SHE DOES. I WATCH HOW MUCH TIME SHE PUTS IN.

AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT SHE HAS A JOB. SHE'S ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OTHER THAN THE CITY. AND SHE RAISED SHE'S RAISING TWO GIRLS. AND SO THAT'S A LOT OF TIME AND A LOT OF A LOT OF EFFORT. AND EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND I SEE HER. I'M GOING, YOU'RE THERE. AND SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. AND I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU'RE BACK ON THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON A COUPLE THINGS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TALKED ABOUT. I WAS A MEMBER OF THE THINGS THAT JUSTIN WAS AT AND THAT, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL WERE AT, TOO. I'M GOING TO SPEND

[02:05:03]

THERE ARE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND OTHER MANY, MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO VOLUNTEER AND GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. SO IT TAKES A LOT FOR FOLKS TO, AS YOU SAID, PUT THEIR NECKS OUT THERE AND RUN FOR OFFICE. AND WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ACTIVE DEMOCRACIES. WE WANT MORE CANDIDATES. CANDIDATES, MULTIPLE CANDIDATES ARE A GREAT THING FOR THE DISCIPLINE OF DEMOCRACY. AND THAT'S THAT'S GOOD TO SEE. I WANTED TO THANK OUR MANY VOLUNTEERS, FROM EMPLOYEES TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, WHO HELPED MAKE THIS YEAR'S BYRON NELSON TOURNAMENT A HUGE SUCCESS. WE TRULY, TRULY COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL THE SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE REALLY HELPED MCKINNEY SHINE NOT ONLY THE EMPLOYEES, BUT EVEN OUR RESIDENTS. WHEN I WHEN I GO TO THE TOURNAMENT AND I WALK AROUND AND I TALK TO THE FOLKS, THE SALESMANSHIP CLUB MEMBERS, AND THE RED PANTS EASILY RECOGNIZABLE SO I CAN GO UP TO THEM AND FIND THEM QUICKLY. AND I ALWAYS ASK THEM, HOW IS THEIR EXPERIENCE GOING? YOU KNOW, ANYTHING WE CAN DO BETTER, ETC. AND MAN TO A PERSON. THEY ARE DELIGHTED TO BE IN MCKINNEY AND THEY REALLY APPRECIATE THE WARM EMBRACE FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM THE LEADERSHIP, ELECTED OFFICIALS ALL DOWN AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE ROY AND HELEN HALL LIBRARY IS GOING TO BE UNDERGOING EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS TO CREATE A FUTURE READY FACILITY THAT MEETS THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS. THE LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE RENOVATIONS BEGINNING ON JUNE 13TH. PRIOR TO CLOSURE, MATERIALS AND PROGRAMS WILL BE GRADUALLY REDUCED. BOOKS AND MATERIALS ARE BEING TRANSITIONED TO THE JOHN AND JUDY GAY LIBRARY. FINALLY, MCKINNEY RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS ARE INVITED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AS STAFF PREPARES THE CITY'S BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026. AS WE'VE BEEN DOING THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS, A BUDGET SURVEY IS AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE HOME PAGE THROUGH JULY 1ST. YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBPAGE AND DO PARTICIPATE IN EXERCISE ON PRIORITIES, ON HOW YOU WOULD SPEND A GIVEN AMOUNT OF MONEY ON VARIOUS PRIORITIES IN THE CITY. WE APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND WE REPORT THAT OUT TO THE CITY COUNCIL EVERY YEAR AS WE PREPARE THE
