          HE IS STARTING. ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S 3:02 P.M. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY THE 17TH, 2026. WELCOME TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION. FIRST ITEM WILL BE AN 
          [Engineers Week Proclamation]
INFORMATION SHARING OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS ENGINEER'S WEEK AND WE HAVE PROCLAMATION TO READ. AND THEN A PRESENTATION BY SOMEONE IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. SO I HAVE A QUESTION. WHO IS WORKING IF EVERYONE IS HERE? YEAH. WELL THEY'RE KIND OF WORKING KIND OF KIND OF WORKING THERE REPRESENTING. EVERYBODY. COME ON UP. SURE. YOU BET. WORKING. GILLINGHAM'S JOKING BECAUSE HE'S GOT HAIR AND BEARD. YES, HE'S DAMIEN FOR MAN NATIONAL MAN DAY, WHICH IS LIKE JUNE 11TH. GOOD. THAT'S GREAT. YOU KNOW. AND YEAH THE HUNTER IS OUT OF HERE. HE PUT INTO THE MULLET THING AFTER THAT. RIGHT. THAT'S HOW MANY ENGINEERS. HOW MANY ENGINEERS DOES IT TAKE TO DO A. WE'LL STOP WITH THOSE JOKES. THAT WASN'T ME. THAT WAS HIM. I LOVE YOU GUYS. THAT EVERYONE WE GOOD. EVERYONE THAT'S HERE. ALRIGHT. WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION. ENGINEERS USE THEIR SCIENTIFIC SKILLS AND SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AND CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO FULFILL SOCIETY'S NEEDS. ENGINEERS WEEK WAS FOUNDED IN 1951 BY THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND SPONSORED BY MORE THAN 70 ENGINEERING, SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATION SOCIETIES MAJOR CORPORATIONS, AND IS DEDICATED TO INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF ENGINEERING AND TO PROMOTE ENGINEERING AS A CAREER OPTION. ENGINEERS WEEK FOCUSES ON THE ON THE FUTURE AND WILL BRING INITIATIVES THAT CELEBRATE THE ENGINEERING COMMUNITY AND SHARE ITS POSITIVE MESSAGE AROUND THE WORLD. THIS WEEK IS GLOBAL INITIATIVES, WHICH INCLUDE ENCOURAGING ALL NATIONS TO SEEK THE TALENTS, VIEWPOINTS AND INTELLECTS OF WOMEN IN ENGINEERING AND RELATED MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE FIELDS. SO, BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME AS MAYOR OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS, I DO HEREBY PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 22ND TO 28TH AS ENGINEER'S WEEK IN MCKINNEY AND ENCOURAGE THE APPROPRIATE RECOGNITION OF THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS WORKING AND LIVING IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS IS JUST OUR TEAM HERE IN THE CITY STAFF. BUT, YOU KNOW, AS AS THE PROCLAMATION SAID, THERE ARE A LOT OF LOCAL ENGINEERING FIRMS AS WELL THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY, BOTH ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR, PUBLIC SECTOR. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE ALL THE HARD WORK WE DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION, WATER SYSTEM, WASTEWATER SYSTEM, ALL OF THAT. SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOVE TO DO EVERY YEAR IS ALSO A LITTLE COMPETITION. WE HAVE E-WEEK COMPETITION. AND SO THIS IS A VIDEO WE'D LIKE TO SHARE OF LAST YEAR'S COMPETITION. WE THE CHALLENGE WAS TO MAKE A PAPER AIRPLANE, BUT NOT JUST A PAPER AIRPLANE. 
          YOU HAD TO CARRY A LEGO PEOPLE. AND SO WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS. ONE IS AN ACCURACY COMPETITION AND THEN THE OTHER IS WAS FOR DISTANCE. SO IF YOU COULD PLAY THAT PLEASE PAPER AIRPLANE DISTANCE CONTEST. BUT IF YOUR LEGO FALLS OUT YOU LOSE. FIVE MINUTE WARNING. THREE MINUTES. OH PEOPLE CLOSEST TO THE END. OH, SORRY. OH. OH. OH, SURE. OH THAT'S NICE. OH. WHOA, WHOA. WHOA. WHOA. OH. DO PLEASE DO THE HONORS IN WHICH YOU CAN KEEP ALL YOUR LONG. YOU CAN. 
          [00:05:09]
EASILY. ALL RIGHT. SO OUR NEXT COMPETITION, IT'S OPEN TO ANYBODY, NOT JUST ENGINEERS. 
          ANYBODY IN THE CITY WANTS TO PARTICIPATE IS GOING TO BE DANNY FEBRUARY NEXT. YEAH, A WEEK FROM TOMORROW AT 330. SO DO YOU WANT TO ANNOUNCE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE, OR ARE YOU KEEPING THAT SECRET? WELL, WE'VE GOT PERMISSION TO DO AN EGG DROP. YEAH. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO AN EGG DROP THIS YEAR, RIGHT? HOW HIGH? THAT'S ALL, YOU KNOW. YEAH, BUT WE USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, TO BOND AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, CELEBRATE SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE DO AS YOU KNOW, AS WE WORK HARD ALL YEAR LONG TO TRY TO MAKE SURE ALL THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND ALL THE NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. THIS. SORRY MANAGER WAS OUT OF TOWN. TOO MUCH FRIVOLITY. YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW, AS AS WAS MENTIONED, THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION IS AN EGG DROP. SO OUR THOUGHT WAS COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER COULD GO PRACTICE CATCHING EGGS OFF OF THE BUILDING. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THAT MIGHT BE A TALENT. COUNCILMAN JONES. WOULD THAT BE A TALENT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE? YEAH. I'M GOOD. WATCH THE VELOCITY, COUNCILMAN JONES. 
          [Discuss Recognition of Animal Services Volunteer Assistance]
THAT FLOP JUST LIKE THAT JOKE DID. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM WAS 260108. THIS IS A DISCUSSION OF RECOGNITION OF ANIMAL SERVICES VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE, MR. HUBBARD. ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL, MY NAME IS PHIL. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. TODAY. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND HIGHLIGHT SOME INCREDIBLE EFFORT PUT OUT BY ONE OF OUR ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICERS, KIM FRANK. AND THEN ALSO A REALLY GOOD COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'VE BUILT OVER THE YEARS WITH AN ORGANIZATION, MUTTS AND MAYHEM. THEY'RE A SEARCH AND RESCUE ORGANIZATION, AND THEY PROVIDE SERVICES THROUGHOUT COLLIN COUNTY, BUT ALSO OBVIOUSLY HERE IN MCKINNEY. SO EARLIER IN THE YEAR IN JANUARY, WHEN WE HAD THE SNOW AND ICE STORM COME IN, JUST PRIOR TO THAT, PRIOR TO THAT, WE STARTED RECEIVING CALLS OF A LOOSE DOG ALONG WILMA STREET, AND OFFICER KIM WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA AND OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT CAPTURING THE ANIMAL. AS THE WEATHER GOT WORSE AND TEMPERATURES DECLINED, SHE RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO TRY TO GET THIS ANIMAL TO A SAFE SPOT. CONTACTED MUTTS OF MAYHEM. THEY WERE ABLE TO COME OUT, DEVISE A PLAN TO CAPTURE THE ANIMAL. THE PLAN WAS TO SET UP A LARGE TEN BY TEN CORRAL STYLE TRAP AND THEN USE REMOTE SURVEILLANCE SO THAT WHEN THE DOG ENTERED INTO THE TRAP, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR. AND THEN ON THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 27TH, ABOUT 1 A.M. IN THE MORNING, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. THE DOG, KNOWN AS DECEMBER AT THAT TIME, WAS ABLE TO COME IN TO THE TRAP. OH YEAH, I FORGOT. I WAS ABLE TO COME INTO THE TRAP. THEY SECURED IT AND CONTACTED OFFICER KIM, WHO WAS ABLE TO COME OUT, TAKE THE ANIMAL TO THE COLLIN COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER AND THE DOG. DECEMBER HAS BEEN ADOPTED, AND I'LL LET SELENA KIND OF FILL US ALL IN ON WHERE THAT DOG IS AT NOW. YES, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT DECEMBER HAS BEEN ADOPTED INTO THE MOST AMAZING FAMILY. ACTUALLY, JUST A COUPLE OF STREETS OVER FROM WHERE WE ACTUALLY CAPTURED HER AT. THEY'VE NAMED HER REMY. THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS LIKE DECEMBER, AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH HER AND ALLOWED HER A PROPER DECOMPRESSION TIME. AND NOW SHE'S REALLY COMING OUT OF HER SHELL AND DOING AMAZING. THE MOST PERFECT HAPPY ENDING EVER. GREAT. AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR OUR COLLABORATION WITH MCKINNEY ANIMAL CONTROL. WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM FOR OVER A DECADE AND THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN INCREDIBLE, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. 
          COULDN'T BE MORE THANKFUL. THANK YOU. SO AGAIN, LIKE SHE SAID, THE DOG'S IN A NICE, HAPPY, HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT NOW. AND ALSO THE RESIDENTS OF MCKINNEY RESIDENTS WHO CONTACTED US AND REALLY EXPRESSED A LOT OF CONCERNS, THEIR MINDS ARE NOW AT EASE. 
          JUST ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT OF WHAT THE ANIMAL SERVICES TEAM DOES ON A REGULAR BASIS. SO IF AT THIS TIME I CAN ASK MAYOR COUNCIL COME DOWN, WE'LL GET A QUICK PHOTO. YEAH, GREAT. THANK 
          [00:10:01]
YOU. THANKS FOR. 
          THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OUR PLEASURE. THANK YOU. LOVE THAT. 
          [PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS]
NEXT ITEM WILL BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ANY AGENDA ITEM. WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER, PAUL BIROS. GOOD AFTERNOON. HAPPY MARDI GRAS. PAUL BALLESTEROS 6508 MARVIN GARDENS, MCKINNEY, TEXAS 75070. NOT ONLY A RESIDENT, ALSO THE FOUNDER OF THE LOCAL NONPROFIT IMMANUEL LABOR, AND OUR FOCUS, IN SHORT, IS TO REMOVE THE LESSONS FROM HOMELESSNESS IN JESUS NAME. AND I'M EXCITED AND ENCOURAGED ABOUT THE DISCUSSION ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AS YOU MAY KNOW THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I SERVE PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD A PLACE TO STAY ON THEIR OWN. AND WHILE I WANT TO, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT'S DISCUSSED. I ALSO WANT TO JUST KIND OF BRING TO ATTENTION. AND THE ENGINEERS EVEN INSPIRED ME. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE INNOVATIVE AND JUST TO LOOK AT OTHER APPLICATIONS FROM OTHER AREAS TO BRING IT IN HERE, AND ONE THAT I'VE BEEN A TREMENDOUS ADVOCATE FOR, THAT IT SEEMS TO NOT MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH TO THE SURFACE IS HOW IN COLLEGE TOWNS, A LOT OF SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DORMS FOR ALL THE STUDENTS THAT THEY ESPECIALLY LARGE SCHOOLS. AND I WAS A PERSON THAT WENT TO A LARGE SCHOOL GO GATORS, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA. AND I LIVED OFF CAMPUS ALL FOUR YEARS, AND I DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY. I CAME FROM OVER A THOUSAND MILES AWAY, GOING FROM NEW JERSEY TO FLORIDA. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS PRESENTED TO ME WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL LEASE AT A MULTI-BEDROOM APARTMENT. I COULDN'T AFFORD THE WHOLE THING, BUT I COULD AFFORD A ROOM, AND I HAD MY OWN LEASE AND ACTUALLY WAS A HUGE BLESSING, BECAUSE THROUGHOUT MY FIRST YEAR WE WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE ROOMMATES. 
          SOMEBODY DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL, SOMEBODY ELSE CAME IN LATER. AND SO WHEN YOU'RE ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEASE, EVEN IF A ROOMMATE DEFAULTS, YOU STILL GET TO STAY. AND I THINK THIS IS BOTH AFFORDABLE AND PROFITABLE FOR A PROPERTY OWNER, THAT THEY CAN HAVE THREE LEASES FOR A THREE BEDROOM APARTMENT, TWO BEDROOMS COULD COVER THE NORMAL COST OF WHAT THE MARKET RATE IS, AND IF THEY HAVE THE THIRD, IT'S GRAVY. BUT IF THEY LOSE A THIRD, THEY'RE STILL MAKING WHAT THEY NEED TO MAKE. AND BOTH THE INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING A MORE AFFORDABLE RATE. 
          THE OTHER ADDED BENEFIT TO THIS IS COMMUNITY. SO AGAIN, AT COLLEGE I GOT TO KNOW PEOPLE, GOT TO MEET PEOPLE THROUGH THAT. AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE GETTING PLACED INTO APARTMENTS AT THEIR OWN IN PLACES WHERE THEY KNOW NO ONE. AND WE'VE HAD INCIDENTS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE SPENT STILL MUCH OF THEIR TIME, EVEN THOUGH HOUSED OUTSIDE, BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY HAVE ISN'T THERE. AND SO THEY'RE GETTING PLACED IN PLACES THAT THEY'RE UNFAMILIAR. 
          THEY'RE NOT BUILDING COMMUNITY THERE. SO WHEN YOU WHEN YOU PUT SOMEBODY INTO A SHARED HOUSING SITUATION, THERE'S AN ATMOSPHERE OF COMMUNITY BUILT INTO THAT. SO JUST LIKE I WENT THROUGH, THERE WAS SOME ROOMMATE MATCHING PEOPLE THAT HAD SHARED INTERESTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT THERE'S THERE'S THERE'S A MODEL FOR THAT AVAILABLE TO CONSIDER AS WE AS WE LOOK FOR WHAT WE CAN DO. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF LONG TERM THINGS, BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW. SO I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT TO TO OUR ATTENTION. SO THANK YOU. 
          THANKS, PAUL. THANK YOU PAUL. ANYONE ELSE THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO REGISTER ONE. ALL RIGHT. 
          VERY GOOD. WE'LL MOVE TO OUR NEXT ITEM, WHICH WILL BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO DISCUSS ANY, ANY AGENDA ITEM FROM OUR REGULAR MEETING, WHICH WILL BE AT 6 P.M. ANYONE? NOPE. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM. NEXT ITEM IS 260109. THIS IS AN 
          [Informational Update on the City's Data Program]
INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON THE CITY'S DATA PROGRAM. BRANDON OPIOLA, WELCOME BACK. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WELCOME BACK. I THINK IT'S 
          [00:15:04]
PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT TEN YEARS SINCE I'VE STOOD AT THE PODIUM. NOT HERE, BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE, SO IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK. WE ARE LIVING IN A MOMENT WHERE TECHNOLOGY IS ACCELERATING FASTER THAN ANY TIME IN HISTORY. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS, AUTOMATION ALL OF IT PROMISES BETTER DECISION MAKING AND GREATER EFFICIENCY. BUT NONE OF THIS IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT A GREATER EMPHASIS ON TRUSTED, ORGANIZED, AND GOVERNED DATA. 
          DATA IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ASSETS IN THIS AFTERNOON. WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS SHOW YOU HOW WE'RE BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE CITY NECESSARY TO UNLOCK THAT POWER AND THAT POWER RESPONSIBLY. OUR ABILITY AS AN ORGANIZATION TO MAKE TIMELY, DATA INFORMED DECISIONS DEPENDS A LOT ON HOW WELL WE MANAGE AND USE THE DATA THAT WE HAVE, AND I'M EXCITED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE IN JUST THIS PAST YEAR, BUILDING THE START OF MCKINNEY'S DATA PROGRAM AND WHERE THIS POSITIONS MCKINNEY GOING FORWARD. SO A DATA PROGRAM IS NOT SOFTWARE. IT'S COORDINATED, ENTERPRISE WIDE FRAMEWORK WITH THESE SIX KEY CONCEPTS. THE STRATEGY IS SIMPLY HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE THE DATA THAT WE HAVE. THE GOVERNANCE IS HOW DO WE ORGANIZE, ACCESS, SECURE AND SHARE DATA APPROPRIATELY? LITERACY IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO TRAIN THE ORGANIZATION TO KNOW HOW TO USE AND UNDERSTAND THE DATA THAT WE HAVE METRICS. OF COURSE, WE CAN MONITOR PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATE THE WORK THAT AND THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. HOW DO WE USE THE DATA TO GET BETTER? RIGHT. IT'S EASY TO COLLECT DATA. WE'VE GOT TONS OF DATA. THE HARD PART OR THE MORE VALUABLE PART OF COLLECTING DATA IS DOING SOMETHING WITH IT. MOVING WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE, AND USING INNOVATION TO GET THERE. SO JUST AS WE MANAGE PEOPLE, ASSETS, FINANCIAL ASSETS, INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS, WE WANT TO MANAGE OUR DATA ASSETS WITH THAT SAME LEVEL OF MATURITY. THIS PROGRAM ENSURES THAT OUR DATA IS STRUCTURED, PROTECTED AND USABLE ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION. ON THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GOALS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE STRATEGIC AND FORWARD THINKING FOR THE CITY. A CENTRALIZED VIEW OF DATA. DATA CURRENTLY SITS IN VERY ISOLATED OR INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS, AND IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR STAFF TO ACCESS. WE CAN GET THERE. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF EFFORT INVOLVED TO DO THAT. INCREASED DATA VISIBILITY AND COLLABORATION IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT, THAT WE WANT ALL DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE DATA, NOT JUST WHAT THEIR OWN WORK IS DOING, BUT WHAT THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING. IT'S THAT FULL PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WE WANT THE FAST ACCESS TO INSIGHTS, RIGHT? I KIND OF MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT THERE THAT RIGHT NOW IT'S HARDER TO PULL THE DATA THAT WE NEED. WE WANT TO GET TO ADVANCED ANALYTIC CAPABILITIES, NOT JUST DESCRIPTIVE AND DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THE PREDICTIVE, THE PRESCRIPTIVE ONES THAT TELL US WHAT TO DO, THAT TELL US WHAT'S COMING RIGHT. ABILITY TO SHARE DATA SECURELY. THAT'S PRETTY COMMON. ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST DATA QUALITY POSSIBLE, AND THEN WORK TOWARDS A SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH SO THAT WHEN WE KNOW WE HAVE A NUMBER, WE KNOW THAT THAT NUMBER IS TRUE AND IT'S ALWAYS TRUE. RIGHT NOW, DATA LIVES, AS I SAID IN INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS, THIS IS NOT STOPPED OUR STAFF, THOUGH, FROM USING THE DATA TO PERFORM THE EXCELLENT WORK THAT THEY DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT. IT'S NOT JUST IT'S JUST NOT BEEN AS EASY AND EFFICIENT AS IT COULD BE WITH VISIBILITY ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION AND COLLABORATION TOGETHER. ESSENTIALLY, THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO HELP US CONNECT DOTS THAT WE NEVER KNEW WE COULD CONNECT. WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCEMENTS, I THINK EVERYONE FEELS A BIT LIKE WE'RE CHASING, RIGHT? AND WE'VE CERTAINLY FELT THAT SOME OF WE'VE CERTAINLY FELT THAT SOME OF WHAT WE'VE STARTED DOWN THIS ROAD AND WE'VE SAID, HEY, THERE'S STILL LOTS OF WORK AHEAD, BUT WE'VE SPENT THE PAST YEAR BUILDING THIS PROGRAM, SPEAKING WITH OTHER CITIES, ATTENDING CONFERENCES SURROUNDING THESE CONCEPTS. AND I THINK WE FIND OURSELVES IN A PRETTY GOOD SPOT BEING A LEADER IN MANY RESPECTS IN THE DATA REALM. AND OF COURSE, WE WANT TO CONTINUE SETTING THE EXAMPLE FOR OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WHO ARE ALONG THIS JOURNEY WITH US, BUT WE DO STILL WANT TO BE THAT LEADER IN DATA AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY. SO SOME OF THE FOUNDATIONAL INITIATIVES THAT WE'VE WORKED TOWARDS, THERE ARE THREE OF THEM. WE STARTED WITH A DATA INVENTORY LOOKING AT WHERE IS ALL THE DATA IN THE CITY. THE SECOND PART WAS A GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK. HOW ARE WE GOING TO ACCESS SHARE IT, AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO PROVIDE SECURITY ON OUR DATA? THE THIRD IS IMPLEMENTING A DATA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE PROGRAM. AND I'LL GET INTO THESE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL HERE IN ONE SECOND. THE DATA INVENTORY WE IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY 185 ENTERPRISE DATA SYSTEMS THAT OUR TEAMS ARE USING DAY IN AND DAY OUT. AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER THIRD PARTY DATA SETS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT. THIS NUMBER IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW AS TECHNOLOGIES CHANGE, AS THE CITY GROWS, AS SERVICES CHANGE, WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING TO THIS NUMBER. AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT NUMBER. APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THESE 
          [00:20:03]
SOURCES THAT WE HAVE OF OUR DATA HAVE SOME LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIAL DATA IN THERE, WHICH WHICH BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, REINFORCES THAT IMPORTANCE THAT WE NEED GOVERNANCE WITH THE DATA THAT WE HAVE IN THIS INVENTORY, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, HAS GIVEN US A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT AS A CITY, WHAT DATA WE HAVE, WHERE DOES IT LIVE, WHO OWNS IT, AND HOW SHOULD IT BE CLASSIFIED? THIS VISIBILITY ALONE FOR US IS A MAJOR MATURITY MILESTONE. HONING IN ON THE GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK, WE'VE ESTABLISHED A FRAMEWORK THAT MANAGES OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, ROLES AND ACCESS CONTROLS, CLASSIFICATIONS OF DATA, WHETHER THAT'S PUBLIC DATA, CONFIDENTIAL DATA, RESTRICTED DATA. WE'VE ESTABLISHED A DATA GOVERNANCE COUNCIL, WHICH IS MORE OF THE STRATEGIC VISION FOR THIS PROGRAM. AND WE'VE ALSO ESTABLISHED A DATA GOVERNANCE LEADERSHIP TEAM MADE UP OF A NUMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES ACROSS THE CITY. AND THEY'LL BE PROVIDING THAT OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE. WHEN WE START LOOKING AT POLICIES FOR THE CITY, WE ALSO CREATED A FRAMEWORK THAT ALLOWS US TO KNOW WHO THE DATA OWNERS ARE AND STEWARDS. AND IT'S NOT JUST BASED ON THE SOFTWARE THAT YOU USE, IT'S BASED ON THE TYPE OF DATA, THE DOMAIN. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THAT IN IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THE LAST KIND OF KEY INITIATIVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING OVER THIS PAST YEAR IS THE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION THAT LEADS US TO TODAY. IN OCTOBER OF 25, WE LAUNCHED SNOWFLAKE. IT'S A SOFTWARE DATA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE THAT WE ARE. FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN KIND OF SETTING UP THE BACKGROUND OF THAT. BUT BUT SNOWFLAKE IS GOING TO HELP US BE ABLE TO CENTRALIZE ALL OF THOSE 185 DATA SOURCES ACROSS THE CITY INTO ONE AREA. AND WHEN THAT REPOSITORY HAS ALL THE DATA, IT'S GOING TO ENABLE US TO UNDERSTAND DATA, HOW DATA WORKS TOGETHER, APPLY THE SECURITY CONTROLS THAT WE NEED IN PLACE, IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND ACCESS THE EFFICIENCY OF GETTING TO THE DATA, AND THEN ENABLING THOSE ADVANCED ANALYTICS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, THE PRESCRIPTIVE AND THE PREDICTIVE. WE'RE JUST NOW FINISHING UP THE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION TO TO NOW WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE READY TO START BRINGING IN THESE 185 DATA SOURCES, WHICH WILL TAKE PROBABLY A COUPLE OF YEARS TO DO. THIS YEAR, WE'LL BE MIGRATING, THOUGH OUR LARGEST, HIGHEST VALUE SYSTEMS FIRST SO THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE IMPACT EARLY. THOSE ARE THE LARGEST DATA SETS THAT WE HAVE. THEY HAVE THE MOST PEOPLE WORKING WITH THAT DATA, AND WE WANT THAT TO BE AVAILABLE FIRST BEFORE WE DO SOME OF THE SMALLER ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS THAT MAKE UP THAT 185. SO I KIND OF WANT TO SHOW YOU JUST A QUICK PICTURE OF WHAT THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE. I MAY DRAW HERE IN A LITTLE BIT IF WE NEED TO, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE'S NOT 185 SQUARES, BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE THERE'S 185 SQUARES ON THE SCREEN. AND THOSE ARE ALL JUST SOFTWARE'S OR DATA SETS THAT WE USE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. 
          THEY DON'T SPEAK TOGETHER. THEY'RE NOT INTEGRATED. WE HAVE TO HAVE ANALYSTS THAT KNOW HOW TO WRITE CODE THAT CAN GO IN AND EXTRACT THAT DATA OUT. NOW, SOMETIMES SOFTWARE HAS BUILT IN REPORTING, BUT IT'S IT'S JUST IT BARELY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE FOR THE NEEDS OF WHAT OUR STAFF HAS. AND SO THE WAY IT WORKS IS ALL THOSE 185 DATA SOURCES WILL BE MOVED INTO SNOWFLAKE, OUR CENTRALIZED DATA LAKE. IF YOU'VE HEARD THAT TERM WITHIN THAT DATA LAKE, WE WILL THEN PUSH THOSE OUT INTO DOMAINS. SO WE ALMOST REORGANIZE AND CLEAN THE DATA SO THAT IT'S READY FOR CONSUMPTION. EITHER THAT IS STAFF RIGHT NOW, WHETHER THAT'S COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE, WHETHER THAT IS PUBLIC IN THE FAR FUTURE, WE WILL NOW BE MOVING FROM THAT IS A SOFTWARE TYPE DATA TO THAT'S PLANNING DATA, PUBLIC WORKS, DATA DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, DATA FINANCE DATA, YOU NAME IT. BUT IT WILL BE VERY ORGANIZED. AND SO EACH ONE OF THOSE DOMAINS WILL HAVE IF IT'S HR, LET'S SAY THEY WORK OUT OF 27 DIFFERENT SOFTWARES, ALL HR DATA WILL BE LOCATED THERE. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PLUG THEIR DASHBOARDS DIRECTLY INTO THAT. THEY'LL HAVE IT UPDATED AS FAST AS IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE TYPICAL FREQUENCY FOR THAT DATA TO BE UPDATED. AND IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER, ALMOST LIKE A BUFFET WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT A DASHBOARD OF I NEED THIS, THIS, THIS, NOW I CAN MONITOR WHAT'S GOING ON RATHER THAN TRYING TO FIND AN ANALYST THAT CAN WRITE SOME A LOT OF CODE AND THEN COME DOWN AND BE ABLE TO USE IT, THAT TAKES A LOT OF TIME VERSUS JUST THE ABILITY TO BE EFFICIENT WITH OUR DATA. SO WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? AS I STATED EARLIER, WE'VE PROBABLY GOT ABOUT TWO YEARS OF MOVING DATA INTO SNOWFLAKE, THOSE 185 SOURCES. BUT WE WANT TO REALIZE VALUE IMMEDIATELY AS EACH DATA SET COMES IN WITH SOME PARALLEL TASKS. AND SO OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE'RE GOING TO BE ONBOARDING OUR DATA ARCHITECT AND DATA ENGINEER, WHO ARE NEW POSITIONS THAT WILL BE DEDICATED TO THIS PROJECT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO START MOVING IN THE LARGEST DATA SETS INTO INTO SNOWFLAKE. AND THEN THIS SUMMER, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING, LIKE I SAID, BRINGING UP THE BUSINESS USE CASES THAT THAT THAT MAKE THE DATA AVAILABLE VALUABLE TO OUR TEAMS. AND WE'LL BE PUTTING THOSE ON DASHBOARDS AND THAT 
          [00:25:05]
WILL THAT WILL BASICALLY AS WE PULL IN EACH DATA SET AT A TIME, IT WILL GROW AND GROW AND GROW. 
          WHAT OUR TEAMS ARE HAVE AVAILABLE TO SEE IN THIS NEW, EASY MANNER. SO MY VISION IS TO USE SNOWFLAKE TO HELP DEMOCRATIZE DATA ACROSS THE CITY AND THE ORGANIZATION, AND ENABLE EMPLOYEES AT ALL LEVELS TO SEE DATA APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR POSITION AND TO MAKE DATA INFORMED DECISIONS. SO THIS LAST SLIDE HERE IS A SCREENSHOT FROM A WEB BROWSER ON OR ON SNOWFLAKE SITE. AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS SHOW YOU KIND OF A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE, OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. AND WE'VE BUILT A LITTLE DEMO. I'M GOING TO TRY AND DO A LIVE DEMO HERE. WE'VE BUILT A LITTLE DEMO TO SHOW YOU SNOWFLAKE INTELLIGENCE, WHICH IS AN AI INTERFACE, USES MACHINE LEARNING MODELS. WE'VE GOT SOME STAFF HERE IN THE BACK THAT ARE BARELY WAVING THEIR HANDS. THEY HAVE BEEN HELPING BUILD THIS MACHINE LEARNING MODEL. RIGHT. 
          AND THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW ALL OF OUR STAFF AND IN THE FUTURE, PUBLIC CITIZENS TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH CITY DATA CONVERSATIONALLY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW SQL CODE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW PYTHON. YOU CAN JUST ASK IT. I THINK MOST OF US ARE ALL NOW VERY FAMILIAR WITH CHATGPT. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THIS WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE, IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO CHATGPT. YOU'VE GOT YOUR SEARCH BOX, YOU'VE GOT YOUR CHATS THAT YOU'VE DONE PREVIOUSLY ON THE LEFT SIDE. AND THIS WILL ENABLE US TO ASK ANY QUESTION OF THE DATA THAT WE WANT. SO I'M GOING TO SWITCH OVER HERE. WE'RE GOING TO TRY SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE BEFORE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU REALLY QUICKLY HOW IT WORKS. NOW TO CAVEAT THIS, BECAUSE WE ARE JUST NOW READY TO MOVE ALL OF THE DATA INTO SNOWFLAKE, WE SET UP A DEMO OF JUST THE SMALLEST SECTION OF DATA WE'RE USING BUILDING INSPECTIONS DATA. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL KNOW. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF VOLUME WITH IT. AND SO IT REALLY WAS A GREAT KIND OF FIRST DATA SET FOR US TO TEST OUT WHAT THIS SOFTWARE CAN DO FOR US. AND SO BEAR WITH ME HERE, BUT I'M GOING TO TYPE IN A FEW THINGS. AND YOU KNOW THAT EVERY TIME YOU ASK A QUESTION, IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO GET AN ANSWER. BUT I WOULD LIKE THE COUNCIL TO KIND OF REMEMBER THAT EVERY TIME WE ASK OUR OWN SELVES QUESTIONS WITH DATA, IT TAKES MUCH LONGER THAN MAYBE THE 10S THAT WE CAN ACCESS IT HERE WITHIN SNOWFLAKE. SO I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH AN EASY QUESTION, RIGHT? HOW MANY INSPECTIONS DID WE DO LAST YEAR? BRANDON? WELL, WHILE WE WAIT FOR THAT FOR THOSE 10S, MAYBE I CAN ASK MY QUESTION IN TIME. HOW LONG WOULD THAT NORMALLY TAKE? IF THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED, A COUNCIL MEMBER MAY ASK US, HEY, HOW MANY INSPECTIONS DID WE DO LAST YEAR? WHAT'S THE NORMAL PROCESS FOR THAT UNDER OUR CURRENT SYSTEM? SO KIND OF A TRICKY QUESTION. 
          I'LL ANSWER IT IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. IF WE WERE IF WE DIDN'T FOLLOW THAT NUMBER ALREADY AND WE WERE JUST FROM SCRATCH TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE ANSWER. IF YOU LOOK ON YOUR SCREENS RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT SNOWFLAKE IS BUILDING THE ACTUAL SQL CODE. THIS IS WHAT SOMETHING SOMEONE ON OUR STAFF WOULD HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO WRITE THIS. I'M GOING TO PULL IT BACK UP WHEN IT WHEN IT FINISHES HERE. SOMEONE ON OUR STAFF WOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND WRITE ALL THIS CODE. I WOULD SAY POTENTIALLY IF YOU KNEW WHERE THE DATA IS, MAYBE 30 MINUTES. IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE DATA IS, THAT COULD BE HOURS, RIGHT? DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE CALCULATION THAT YOU'RE ASKING NOW, IT COULD BE EVEN LONGER THAN THAT, RIGHT? IF YOU WERE TRYING TO FIND AVERAGES OR THINGS LIKE THAT, IT MAKES THE IT MAKES THE QUERY MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO DO. AND SO WHILE WE'RE TALKING, IT HAD ALREADY KIND OF FINISHED IT AND IT SAYS, LOOK, HEY, PERFECT. HERE'S THE DATA. YOU DID 64,000 INSPECTIONS LAST YEAR, AND THEN THE AI IS SMART ENOUGH TO START GIVING YOU SOME OTHER INSIGHTS THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN. RIGHT? HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE APPROVED VERSUS HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE FAILED INSPECTIONS? AND THEN IT KIND OF GIVES YOU THAT BREAKDOWN. BUT IT'S SMART. 
          JUST LIKE LIKE I SAID CONVERSATIONALLY, I'M GOING TO SAY MAKE THIS INTO A BAR CHART. 
          AND SHOW IT OR SHOW THE NUMBER BY MONTH. SO WHILE IT'S DOING THAT NOW AGAIN, YOU'VE ASKED A DATA ANALYST TO GO DO ANOTHER QUERY THAT MAY TAKE ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS, AND THEN YOU'VE ASKED THEM, HEY, LET'S VISUALIZE THAT AND PROVIDE A CHART. SO AGAIN SNOWFLAKE IS HERE JUST KIND OF CRANKING THROUGH ALL THE CODE THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO WRITE. IT'S LOOKING AT IT TELLS YOU KIND OF ALONG THE WAY WHAT IT'S LOOKING AT. AND THERE'S BEFORE IT GIVES US AN ANSWER, I'LL KIND OF TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE VERY SIMILAR TO CHATGPT. IF YOU NOTICE SOMETHING IS WRONG OR YOU THINK, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, THERE'S A LITTLE THERE'S A LITTLE BUTTON ON SNOWFLAKE WHERE YOU CAN AND IT'S NOT UP YET BECAUSE IT'S NOT DONE. 
          LITTLE BUTTON, THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN WHERE YOU CAN SAY YES, THUMBS UP. THAT'S A GOOD 
          [00:30:04]
ANSWER. OR THUMBS DOWN SMELL TEST THAT DOESN'T PASS. IF IT SAID WE DID A MILLION INSPECTIONS LAST MONTH, WE KNOW THAT WASN'T TRUE, RIGHT? AND SO WHAT WE DO ON THE BACK SIDE, WHAT MY TEAM WILL BE DOING, IS LOOKING AT THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS. WE'LL LOOK AT THE QUESTIONS THAT GIVE BAD ANSWERS, AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO THEN TRAIN THE AI MODEL MORE AND MORE, TO THE POINT WHERE IT'LL EVENTUALLY BE PRETTY, PRETTY CONFIDENTLY PERFECT EVERY TIME. SO HERE YOU GO. IT JUST DREW A CHART FOR US, RIGHT? JUST LIKE WE HAD ASKED FOR IT. 
          WE WE ASKED FOR IT BY MONTH. IT SHOWS YOU ALL THE COMPLETED INSPECTIONS ACROSS THOSE MONTHS, AND THEN IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA INFO HERE. SO NOW LET'S ASK IT SOME. MAYBE I'VE GOT TWO MORE QUESTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU. SO WHO INSPECTED 401 EAST VIRGINIA LAST? LET ME FIX MY SPELLING HERE. YOU CAN SEE I'M NOT USING ANY TECHNICAL LANGUAGE. RIGHT. 
          I'M JUST ASKING IT A QUESTION. WHO INSPECTED THIS LAST RIGHT NOW, THAT WOULD BE A DIFFICULT QUESTION FOR US TO ANSWER. WE COULD GO IN AND LOOK AT A PERMIT. THEN YOU MAY CLICK YOUR WAY THROUGH ALL THE ASSOCIATED INSPECTIONS WITH A PERMIT. IT'S NOT AN EASY ANSWER, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ANSWER IN JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS. AND ANYONE IN THE CITY THAT HAS ACCESS TO BUILDING INSPECTIONS DATA, IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR POSITION, THEY WOULD HAVE THAT RIGHT. AND I DIDN'T REALLY MENTION IT. BUT IF YOU THINK BACK TO THE THE CHART THAT I SHOWED ALL THE DIFFERENT DOMAINS WITHIN EACH DOMAIN, THERE WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL HR DATA AND PUBLIC HR DATA, CONFIDENTIAL ENGINEERING DATA, AND PUBLIC ENGINEERING DATA ACROSS ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS SO THAT ANYONE IN THAT KIND OF SETS US UP FOR THE FUTURE. WHEN WE LOOK AT PUBLIC FACING OUR DATA, THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THINGS THAT ARE MORE PUBLIC, THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE, THAT DON'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENTIAL TYPE DATA, AND THEN THAT WOULD JUST BE AVAILABLE. SO HERE IT SAYS JAMES SWEENEY. NOT SURE IF YOU KNOW WHO JAMES SWEENEY IS. HE'S ONE OF OUR ROCKSTAR INSPECTORS. 
          HE WAS THE LAST TO INSPECT THE CITY HALL, RIGHT, 401 EAST VIRGINIA. NOW, I WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE MORE THING, AND I'M GOING TO SAY, CAN YOU LINK ME TO THE INSPECTION? SO THIS LAST WHAT I'VE ASKED IT TO DO NOW IS I SAID, HEY, SNOWFLAKE, YOU'VE TOLD ME WHO WAS THE INSPECTOR NOW LINKED ME TO THAT INSPECTION IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOFTWARE. AND SO WHEN THIS POPS UP, LET'S HOPE THAT IT GIVES ME A LINK. IT'LL TAKE US RIGHT INTO THE INSPECTION IN OUR BACK END INTER GOV SYSTEM, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEARCH FOR A VERY LONG TIME TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO. SO HERE WE GO. IT OPENED UP INTER GOV AND THEN HERE WE ARE ON THAT INSPECTION. IF IT HAD ANY COMMENTS WE'D WE'D BE ABLE TO SEE THAT RIGHT AWAY. SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WORK WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DATA, THIS IS NEAR AND DEAR TO THEIR HEART. AND THEY CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU SOME OF THE EXTRACTION TIMELINES THAT IT TAKES TO GET SOMETIMES PAINFUL, BUT WE CAN GET THERE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT WAY OF ACCESSING OUR DATA ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY. RIGHT. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IF YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS WAS ONE SET OF DATA. NOW IMAGINE IT ACROSS ALL DOMAINS, ACROSS ALL CITY DATA. WE'LL BE ABLE TO ASK WHATEVER WE WANT, THEORETICALLY. AND IF YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO THAT DATA, YOU WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING. AI WILL MAKE CONNECTIONS TO THINGS THAT WE'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF. WHEN YOU CAN SAY, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? IT CAN NOW LOOK AT 100 DIFFERENT THINGS, RATHER THAN JUST WHATEVER YOUR BRAIN COULD COME UP WITH AT THE TIME. WHEN YOU TRY AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WAS IT, WHETHER WAS IT A, YOU KNOW, SIGNAL TIMING, WHO KNOWS? AI CAN LOOK AT EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO END THERE ON THE LIVE DEMO. BUT REALLY, I JUST WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ONGOING INVESTMENT INTO THE CITY'S LONG TERM CAPABILITY, RIGHT? ONE THAT POSITIONS MCKINNEY AS A LEADER IN BEING MODERN, DATA DRIVEN ORGANIZATION AND PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE. BEFORE I END, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO HAS ASSISTED ME OVER THIS PAST YEAR IN BUILDING THE DATA PROGRAM OVER THE FOUR, I SHOULD SAY, WITH IT. LET'S SEE, WE'VE GOT SOME IT. YOU WANT TO STAND REALLY FAST. IT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS. IF YOU WERE PART OF THE DATA INVENTORY DISCUSSIONS WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ENGINEERING PLANNING. ASIDE FROM THAT WE HAVE AN IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION TEAM WITH SNOWFLAKE THAT HAVE WORKED COUNTLESS HOURS WITH US AS WELL. LOTS OF OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE NOT REPRESENTED HERE TODAY. THE 
          [00:35:02]
DATA GOVERNANCE COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, THE DATA GOVERNANCE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND OF COURSE CITY COUNCIL. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT EVERYBODY'S HELP AND SUPPORT. 
          BUT IT'S BEEN A TON OF FUN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING MORE NEWER EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND REALLY JUST WILL HELP MCKINNEY BECOME A SMART CITY AND ONE THAT WE'D ALL BE SUPER PROUD OF. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. HEY, BRANDON, LET'S I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A LOT TO THIS, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF LAYERS THAT GET ROLLED OUT OVER TIME. BUT LET ME ASK ASK YOU THIS WAY. LET'S SAY WE COULD FAST FORWARD THE CALENDAR TO BE ONE YEAR FROM TODAY AND WE'RE ALL SITTING HERE. WHAT WOULD YOU HOPE THAT HAS BEEN APPLIED? THAT IS A PRACTICAL APPLICATION THAT IS MANIFESTED AT THAT POINT. AT THE YEAR POINT, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE HAVE ALL OF OUR MAJOR SYSTEMS AND THAT SO OUR LAND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, INTER GOV, WHICH WE SAW A SMALL PART OF TODAY, NORVALINE ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEMS THAT MAY BE CAD, OUR DISPATCH SYSTEM FOR PUBLIC OR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TYPE SCENARIOS, CITYWORKS, WHICH IS A MASSIVE PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE THAT DOES ALL OF OUR ASSETS AND WORK ORDERS WITH PUBLIC WORKS. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WE'VE GOT A 4 TO 7 ISH MAJOR DATA SETS THAT THAT LARGELY THE MAJORITY OF TEAMS WORK WITH HERE. WHEN YOU START GETTING INTO THE 20TH, 100TH SOFTWARE, THAT PROBABLY STARTS TO TRAIL OFF ON THE IMPACT. AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT WE WILL HAVE SNOWFLAKE INTELLIGENCE UP AT A YEAR. WE WILL HAVE IT WORKING WITH WHATEVER DATA SETS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO INGEST SOME THERE IS SOME DIFFICULTY IN TELLING YOU TIMELINES, BECAUSE AI IS MOVING SO FAST THAT EVEN OUR INGESTION RATE, WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE THREE YEARS UPFRONT. NOW I'M SAYING IT MIGHT BE TWO, AND THEN IN ONE YEAR WE MAY SAY, HEY, WE'VE ALREADY FINISHED WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO, BUT IT'S TOO HARD TO SAY. 
          SO I WOULD SAY CONSERVATIVELY, OUR MAJOR DATA SETS WOULD BE IN WITHIN THIS FIRST YEAR, AND THEN MAYBE EVERYTHING FOLLOWS IN THE NEXT YEAR. AGAIN, WITH AI AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN, IT IS CHANGING THE FACE OF OF HOW QUICKLY WE CAN DO ANYTHING. I MEAN, YOU ARE AUGMENTING AI TO DO EVERYTHING WE NEED TO HAVE THE STRONG DATA FOUNDATION, THOUGH, BEFORE WE START LEVERAGING ALL OF THESE AI TOOLS, WE'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND THE SECURITY, WE'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND ACCESS CONTROL AND ALL OF THAT. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? BRANDON I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN JONES AND I GOT TO GO TO THE. WHAT WAS IT? SMART CITIES WORLD CONGRESS AND SAT ON A PANEL WITH BRANDON. AND I CANNOT TELL YOU ENOUGH HOW PROUD I WAS TO SEE HIM REPRESENT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB. BUT THAT CONFERENCE IS A GAME CHANGER FOR ME IN TERMS OF HOW I VIEW THE INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY WITH WHAT WE DO HERE IN THE CITY IN TERMS OF THE OPERATION AND OPERATING EFFICIENTLY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON IS BEING A HIGH PERFORMANCE ORGANIZATION. RIGHT? AND SO PART OF THAT IS THAT WE UTILIZE THE EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE TO SERVE OUR RESIDENTS WITHOUT OVERHIRING. RIGHT? WE DON'T WE DON'T OVERSTAFF THE ONLY WAY TO CONTINUE TO KEEP UP WITH THE TYPE OF GROWTH THAT WE HAVE IS TO STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME IN TERMS OF THE TECHNOLOGY. SO I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT FORTH NOT JUST BY BRANDON, BUT MANY MEMBERS OF THIS ORGANIZATION, TO ENSURE THAT MCKINNEY IS ON THE FOREFRONT OF THIS. I HAD A FEW QUESTIONS. SNOWFLAKE, IN TERMS OF ITS USE AS A AS A PROGRAM IN GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURES, IS THAT A VERY COMMONLY USED PROGRAM? HOW DID YOU GET TO THE DECISION? SO SNOWFLAKE IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE PROPER SECURITIES IN PLACE FOR GOVERNMENTS. MICROSOFT HAS A PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T WORK WITH OUR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT. AND SO MICROSOFT FABRIC IS KIND OF ONE OF THE MAJOR COMPETITORS. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT DATABRICKS. AND DATABRICKS HAD SOME OF THE SAME SCENARIO ISSUES WITH SOME OF OUR HIGHER PROTECTION OR SECURITY LEVELS. WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT ADDING IN POLICE DATA, SNOWFLAKE, THOUGH, LARGELY IS USED BY A LOT OF CITIES THAT ARE SIMILAR AND OR BIGGER THAN US. HOUSTON IS ON SNOWFLAKE, AUSTIN IS MOVING TO SNOWFLAKE GILBERT, ARIZONA, WHICH IS A KIND OF A SISTER COMMUNITY OF US, VERY SIMILAR. THEY ARE ABOUT TWO YEARS IN. 
          I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH TACOMA, WASHINGTON. THEY'RE DOING SNOWFLAKE IMPLEMENTATION. DFW AIRPORT USES SNOWFLAKE, BAYLOR SCOTT, AND WHITE USES SNOWFLAKE. TEXAS DPS USES SNOWFLAKE. 
          TEX-DOT USES SNOWFLAKE. I MEAN, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT ECOSYSTEM BE BUILT. AND WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT IT IS IF IT'S ON THEIR SNOWFLAKE ACCOUNT, IT'S AS GOOD AS OURS. IF THEY SERVE IT UP AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS PUBLIC DATA. SO LET'S SAY IT'S NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. IF THEY'RE ON SNOWFLAKE ACCOUNT, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO THEN PULL IN THAT DATA. SO TEXDOT WE WORK WITH ALL THE TIME, RIGHT? TEXAS DPS WE WORK WITH ALL THE TIME. THOSE ARE DATA SETS THAT 
          [00:40:02]
THEORETICALLY WE COULD ACCESS IF THEY'VE POSTED THOSE UP. THEY HAVE LIKE A MARKETPLACE. 
          BUT THE DATA SHARING CAPABILITIES WITH THE SECURITY MAKES SNOWFLAKE AMAZING. ALSO, SNOWFLAKE IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING. IT'S A GOOD AND A BAD THING, RIGHT? WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THE NEW FEATURES THAT THEY DO. HOWEVER, IT'S GOT MORE FEATURES THAN ANYBODY ELSE AND IT ALL JUST KEEPS COMING FOR FREE, WHICH IS A GREAT THING, RIGHT? RATHER THAN NEW MODULES, YOU HAVE TO KEEP PURCHASING. SO AND THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SECURITY. SO THE THE SECURITY OF OUR INFORMATION AS RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. AND SO YOU HAVE NO CONCERN ABOUT A BREACH OF SECURITY IN TERMS OF THIS SYSTEM AND ITS CAPABILITIES COMPARED TO OTHERS THAT YOU'VE LOOKED AT. THERE IS ALWAYS A CONCERN. BUT NO, I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT A SOLID PRODUCT THAT IS PROVEN AND THAT HAS THE SECURITY PROTOCOLS IN PLACE THAT CAN DO WHAT WE NEED IT TO DO. OKAY. THANK YOU. I WANT TO JUST MENTION ONE LAST THING. SO WE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME AT THE CONFERENCE, SAW A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, GOT A PEEK INTO THE FUTURE. WE WERE AT A BOOTH WHERE THERE WAS A DEMONSTRATION OF CAMERAS ON GARBAGE TRUCKS THAT DRIVE AROUND THE CITY, AND YOU CAN IMAGINE YOUR GARBAGE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO HIT EVERY STREET IN THE CITY EVERY WEEK. RIGHT? AND THE ONE CAMERA COLLECTED ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEEDED IN TERMS OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ROADS, IF THERE'S A CRACK ON THE SIDEWALK OR IN THE STREET, IF THERE'S A GARBAGE CAN THAT'S LEANED OVER, IF THERE IS A HOUSE THAT HAS A CODE VIOLATION FROM THE OUTSIDE, MAYBE THE GRASS IS TOO HIGH OR THE WINDOW IS BROKEN OR WHATEVER, AND ALL OF THAT SENT ALL OF THE DATA BACK TO ONE CENTER WITH ONE INTERFACE. AND I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT HOW EFFICIENT THAT IS IN TERMS OF REPORTING, BECAUSE THEN YOU DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THAT INFORMATION GETS BACK TO THE APPROPRIATE PARTY, AND THEN THEY CAN DISTRIBUTE WORK ORDERS JUST BASED ON THAT. SO I THINK WE HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO. I HOPE TO SEE THAT KIND OF TECHNOLOGY COME TO MCKINNEY AT SOME POINT SOON, SO THAT RESIDENTS CAN BE ALSO, THEY CAN ALSO PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT IS BEING SEEN AROUND THE CITY, AND BE ABLE TO SELF REPORT AND GET THE INFORMATION BACK QUICKLY AS WELL. SO PRETTY COOL STUFF DOWN THE PIPE. YEAH. ANYONE ELSE? MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT BRANDON. THANK YOU TO YOU AND THE TEAM AND EVERYONE IN THE ROOM THAT'S WORKING TO MAKE IT BETTER. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND WE 
          [Consider/Discuss the McKinney Affordable Housing Needs Assessment and Recommendations]
APPRECIATE IT. NEXT ITEM 26-0110. CONSIDER AND DISCUSS THE MCKINNEY AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS. MARGARET. GOOD EVENING. OR ACTUALLY GOOD AFTERNOON. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARGARET LEE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. SO AS PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN EFFORTS FROM LAST YEAR, ROUTE POLICY CONDUCTED AN INITIAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO FURTHER SUPPORT THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT'S GOALS. 
          WE ASKED ROUTE POLICY TO EXPAND UPON THEIR EFFORTS AND ASSESS THE CURRENT AND FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO GUIDE A MORE STRATEGIC APPROACH TOWARDS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. AVILA BUENO FROM ROUTE POLICY RESEARCH, IS HERE TODAY TO PRESENT THE STUDY'S KEY FINDINGS, AND FOLLOWING HER PRESENTATION, I WILL HIGHLIGHT THE STUDY'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCUSS OUR NEXT STEPS. I'LL GO AHEAD AND HAND IT OVER TO AVILA. 
          THANK YOU. MARGARET MENTIONED WITH ROUTE POLICY RESEARCH. WE STARTED WORKING WITH THE CITY BACK IN 2020 WITH THE FIRST HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AND WE ALSO HELPED WITH THAT CONSOLIDATED PLAN. AND THEN WE CAME BACK TO HELP THEM AGAIN WITH THEIR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND TO UPDATE THIS HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT. NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE SINCE 2020, WHEN WE DID THE FIRST SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS, HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF IMPRESSIVE. THEY'VE DEVELOPED A LOT OF STAFF CAPACITY AND SET ASIDE SEVERAL RESOURCES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. AND JUST THE WAY THEY TOOK THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND RAN HAS BEEN VERY IMPRESSIVE AND VERY JUST WONDERFUL TO SEE THE CITY TAKE SUCH A LEADERSHIP. AFTER THE FIRST HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT. 
          SO FOR TODAY, I HAVE A FEW SLIDES ON COST BURDEN GAPS AND PROJECTED NEEDS AND AFFORDABILITY, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE OVER TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS. SO FOR COST BURDEN. COST BURDEN IS DEFINED AS ANY HOUSEHOLD THAT SPENDS MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING COSTS. SO THAT MEANS THERE IS LESS INCOME LEFT OVER FOR EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, TRANSPORTATION, FOOD, CHILD CARE AND OTHER NECESSITIES. AND THERE'S ALSO LESS DISPOSABLE INCOME FOR THE HOUSEHOLD TO JUST SPEND IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY. 
          AS OF 2023, A TOTAL OF 12,400 RENTER HOUSEHOLDS WERE SPENDING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR 
          [00:45:03]
HOUSEHOLD INCOME ON HOUSING, AND AROUND 9700 OWNER HOUSEHOLDS WERE COST BURDEN IN 2023. AND THEN IN THIS FIGURES, YOU CAN SEE THE RATES OF COST BURDEN BY DIFFERENT INCOME BRACKETS. NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD SIZE FOR RENTER HOUSEHOLDS IS AROUND TWO PEOPLE. SO THE MEDIAN INCOME WOULD BE IN THE $90,000 BRACKET. SO THESE BRACKETS ARE CONSIDERED LOW TO MODERATE INCOME. AND ON THE OWNER SIDE IT'S THREE PEOPLE. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 105. THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR THAT HOUSEHOLD SIZE. SO ALSO CONSIDER LOW TO MOD. WE CAN SEE THAT IN THE ZERO TO ABOUT 35,000. THOSE HOUSEHOLDS ESPECIALLY ON THE RENTER SIDE WHERE SEVERELY COST BURDEN IN 2015 AND CONTINUE TO BE SEVERELY COST BURDEN IN 2023 AND PROBABLY TODAY IN 2026. THIS IS BECAUSE AT THOSE INCOME BRACKETS, THE MARKET DOES NOT PRODUCE HOUSING UNITS. SO THAT MEANS THAT IT NOT IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE UNIT. SO THIS USUALLY REQUIRES SOME TYPE OF SUBSIDY. WHAT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THAT IN THE 50 TO 75,000 INCOME BRACKET, THE RATE OF COST BURDEN INCREASE BY 30 PERCENTAGE POINTS BETWEEN 2015 AND 2023, AND THEN IN THE 75 TO 100,000, IT INCREASED A LOT AS WELL, FROM 9% TO 34% OF THOSE HOUSEHOLDS BEING COST BURDEN. 
          AND THEN WE CAN SEE THAT IN THE 50 TO 150,000 ON THE OWNER SIDE, IT ALSO HAS BEEN INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS FIGURE PRESENTS RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP GAPS, WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL AN AFFORDABILITY ANALYSIS WITH, WHICH COMPARES THE NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS WITHIN EACH INCOME BRACKET AMI TO THE NUMBER OF RENTERS WHO HAVE THAT INCOME. SO AS WE CAN SEE, THERE'S CLOSE TO 4400 RENTER HOUSEHOLDS WITH THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO SUCH UNITS. SO THERE'S WAY MORE HOUSEHOLDS AT THOSE INCOME LEVELS THAN UNITS AVAILABLE FOR THEM. AND THESE HOUSEHOLDS ARE NOT HOMELESS. THEY ARE COST BURDEN. THEY'RE PAYING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THEIR INCOME IN HOUSING COSTS. NOW, ON THE 120% AMI PLUS, THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT COST BURDEN. THEY ARE PAYING LESS THAN 30% OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME ON HOUSING COSTS AND OCCUPYING UNITS THAT COULD BE AFFORDABLE TO LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. SO THIS MEANS THAT THIS IS WHERE THE MARKET RATE PRODUCTION, ESPECIALLY ON THE MULTIFAMILY SIDE AND STARTER HOMEOWNERSHIP PRODUCT, COULD FREE UP SOME OF THOSE UNITS FOR THOSE LOWER INCOME AMIS. AND THEN ON THE OWNERSHIP SIDE, WE CAN SEE THAT MOST RENTER HOUSEHOLDS HAD HAVE AMIS BELOW 100% OF AMI, BUT ONLY 1% OF THE UNITS PURCHASED WITH A MORTGAGE IN 2023 WERE AFFORDABLE TO THOSE UNITS, TO THOSE HOUSEHOLDS, AND THEN ON THE 120% AMI, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUPPLY IS THERE OR AFFORDABLE, BUT THAT'S LUMPING ALL OF THE SUPPLY AT AFFORDABLE TO 120% AMI AND ABOVE. SO ABOVE, LIKE THE $300,000 RANGE. BUT A LOT OF THOSE UNITS ARE IN THE LIKE $500,000 RANGE OR $700,000 RANGE THAT ARE STILL NOT GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE FOR THE 100 TO 150 AREA MEDIAN INCOME. RENTERS WHO WOULD LOOK INTO PURCHASING. IN TERMS OF AFFORDABILITY. THIS FIGURE SHOWS WHAT THE AVERAGE ANNUAL WAGE IS BY INDUSTRY, WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD IN TERMS OF RENT WITHOUT BEING COST BURDEN, AND WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD IN TERMS OF HOME PRICE, IN TERMS OF WITHOUT BEING COST BURDEN. AND THEN IT COMPARES IT WITH THE TYPICAL RENT AND THE TYPICAL HOME PRICE FOR 2024. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, SEVERAL INDUSTRIES CANNOT AFFORD THE TYPICAL RENT IN MCKINNEY BASED ON ONE INCOME. SO WE CAN SEE THAT THIS INCLUDES RETAIL TRADE, ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPORT AND WASTE MANAGEMENT, EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE, ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT, RECREATION AND ACCOMMODATION, AND FOOD SERVICES AND OTHER SERVICES. THIS ARE NOT THIS ISN'T AN IRRELEVANT PART OF THE JOB MARKET OR THE EMPLOYMENT SECTOR. THIS ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT 50% OF THE JOBS AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTY. AND NOW THAT WE CAN SEE, THE MAXIMUM AFFORDABLE HOME PRICE IS REALLY UNATTAINABLE ON ONE INCOME, YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE MULTIPLE EARNERS IN ORDER TO START BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO ENTER THE HOMEOWNERSHIP MARKET. AND THEN IN TERMS OF AFFORDABILITY NEEDS, THESE 
          [00:50:10]
PROJECTIONS WERE MADE USING THE THE TEXAS DEMOGRAPHIC CENTER POPULATION FORECAST. THEY PRESENT A HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW FORECAST SCENARIO. I'M USING THE LOW SCENARIO. SO THIS IS SORT OF LIKE ON THE LOWER END OF WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED ACCORDING TO THEIR PROJECTIONS. 
          AND THEN I'M HOLDING THE HOUSEHOLD FORMATION RATE CONSTANT BY AGE. AND I'M SAYING THAT THE CITY MORE OR LESS IS GOING TO KEEP THE SAME SHARE OF THE POPULATION, AND THAT THEY ALSO WANT TO KEEP THEIR SAME INCOME AND TENURE DISTRIBUTION. SO THAT MEANS THAT IF THE CITY DOESN'T WANT TO DISPLACE ALL OF YOUR LOWER INCOME RESIDENTS, YOU'D HAVE TO ADD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OF RENTAL UNITS AT THE 0 TO 100% AMI AND THEN AT THE OWNERSHIP UNITS. SINCE IN THE OWNERSHIP SIDE, SINCE OWNERS DO TEND TO HAVE HIGHER INCOMES, MOST OF THAT IS AT THE OVER 100% AMI. ONE THING TO NOTE IS THE UNITS AT THE 0 TO 50% AMI. ON THE OWNERSHIP SIDE, WE'RE NOT EXPECTING THOSE UNITS TO BE PRODUCED BY THE MARKET OR BY SUBSIDIES ALONE. THE HOUSEHOLDS OCCUPYING THOSE UNITS ARE GOING TO BE GENERALLY HOUSEHOLDS AGING IN PLACE ONCE THEIR MORTGAGE GET PAID, AND THEY ARE STILL OCCUPYING THOSE HOMES, AND THOSE HOMES ARE AFFORDABLE TO THEM AT THAT LOWER INCOME ONCE THEY RETIRE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY AFFORDABLE MARKET RATE AFFORDABLE, THEY'RE JUST AFFORDABLE TO THEM BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE A LONG TIME AGO. AND NOW THIS FIGURE SHOWS HOW THE RENTAL GAPS AND THE PROJECTED RENTAL NEEDS COMPARED TO MULTIFAMILY PERMITTING TRENDS OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS, THE EXISTING UNITS 0 TO 100 TO 60% AMI. IT'S ABOUT 4500 UNITS. SO THE GAP, THE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF RENTAL HOUSEHOLDS AT THAT INCOME LEVEL AND THE UNITS THAT ARE AFFORDABLE AT THAT INCOME LEVEL, IS THAT. AND THEN THE PROJECTED NEED FOR, FOR ALL HOUSEHOLD, NOT JUST 0 TO 60% AMI, BUT FOR ALL IS ABOUT 7500 FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 12,000 UNITS. IF WE IF WE COMPARE THAT TO THE TRENDS IN MULTIFAMILY PERMITTING, WE CAN SEE THAT ON AVERAGE, THE CITY HAS BEEN PERMITTING ABOUT 1185 UNITS OVER THE TEN YEARS. THAT WOULD BE 11,000 UNITS PLUS THE 2024. 
          SO THAT'S FOR A TOTAL OF AROUND 13,000 UNITS. SO OVER THE NEED. SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO SHOW HERE IS THAT MULTIFAMILY PRODUCTION HAS BEEN REALLY AT A GOOD PACE IN RECENT YEARS, AND MAINTAINING THIS TREND WOULD BE VERY, VERY BENEFICIAL. HOWEVER, MARKET PRODUCTION WILL NOT MEET THE AFFORDABILITY NEEDS OF THOSE AT THE LOWEST END OF THE INCOME SPECTRUM. SO THE 0 TO 60% AMI, NO MATTER HOW MUCH MARKET PRODUCTION YOU HAVE, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE SOME SORT OF SUBSIDY NEED FOR THOSE HOUSEHOLDS. AND THEN IN TERMS OF CITY EFFORT, AS I SAID, MCKINNEY HAS REALLY BECOME A REGIONAL LEADER IN ITS COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SINCE THE LAST STRATEGY, THEY SET UP AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOAL THEY ALLOCATED. YOU'VE ALLOCATED PUBLICLY OWNED LAND AND IMPLEMENTED FORECLOSURE AND EVICTION PREVENTION PROGRAMS, INCREASED FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, REVIEWED, REVIEWED YOUR ZONING AND LAND USE CODES, AND ALSO SORT OF. IMPROVED THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO GET THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AND THEN DEVELOP AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TAX EXEMPTION SCREENING TO GET MORE, MORE UNITS ON THE GROUND WITH TAX EXEMPTIONS, BUT THAT ALSO MEET THE THE GOALS THAT THE CITY HAS. AND NOW I WILL PASS IT TO MARGARET. THANKS, ABBY. SO BASED ON THESE KEY FINDINGS, ROUTE POLICY DEVELOPED A MENU OF GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT RANGE FROM STRENGTHENING OUR EXISTING PROGRAMS TO FORMING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS TO EXPAND HOUSING PRODUCTION. THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTIONS HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED BY TIERS. 
          SO TIER ONE FOCUSES ON HIGH IMPACT AND CAPACITY EXPANSION STRATEGIES, SUCH AS ADOPTING A AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY OR CREATING A HOUSING TRUST FUND. TIER TWO PRIORITIZES SUSTAINING AND OPTIMIZING EXISTING EFFORTS, SUCH AS CONTINUED SUPPORT OF OUR TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND TIER THREE INCLUDES TARGETED EXPANSIONS SUCH AS ESTABLISHING A LAND BANK OR ACQUIRING UNDERUTILIZED LAND. SO TOGETHER, THESE ACTIONS ADDRESS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF AMI RANGES. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE ISSUES OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING ARE NOT SIMPLY A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR 
          [00:55:01]
INDIVIDUALS IN THE LOWER AMI RANGES, HOUSEHOLDS IN THE LOWER AMI RANGES REQUIRE DEEPER SUBSIDIES AND ONGOING OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO COVER COSTS SUCH AS INSURANCE OR UTILITIES. THEREFORE, THE RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TOGETHER AS A CONSORTED OR COORDINATED STRATEGY RATHER THAN STANDALONE INITIATIVES. THE COST AND IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS ALSO VARY GREATLY, AND WHILE SOME ACTIONS MAY DIRECTLY RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW HOUSING UNITS, SOME ARE FOUNDATIONAL AND HELP SUPPORT LONG TERM HOUSING PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION. SO OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, STAFF WILL UTILIZE THE KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE REPORT TO FORMULATE A TARGETED AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOAL AND DEVELOP A 3 TO 5 YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION. SO THE INTENTION IS TO DEVELOP CLEAR PRIORITIES, IMPLEMENTATION STEPS AND MEASURABLE PERFORMANCE METRICS TO CONTINUE MOVING THE NEEDLE FORWARD ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION. AT THIS TIME, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND ALSO FIELD ANY INPUT OR INITIAL REACTIONS TO THE FINDINGS. ANYONE? QUESTIONS. MARGARET AND TEAM. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. IF I MAY CLARIFY, MARGARET, WHAT IS THAT REPORT MADE AVAILABLE? YES, IT'S AN ATTACHMENT IN THE AGENDA. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. OKAY. SO YOU HAVE THAT IN HERE. YEP. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM WILL BE ANY COUNCIL UPDATES LIAISON UPDATES ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. NONE. THEN WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION. ALL RIGHT 
          [EXECUTIVE SESSION]
THEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071255, 1.0 71A AND 5511072. 
          WE WILL RECESS TO EXECUTIVE SESSION WHERE WE HAVE ACTION BEEN COMING OUT. THEN THAT BEING THE CASE, WE WILL COME BACK, ADJOURN THE MEETING AND START OUR REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AT 6 P.M. IT IS. 4:00, MISS
