AND IF YOU'LL STAND AND JOIN ME FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. 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. WE HAVE A VIDEO THAT WE WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO ENJOY. I KNEW THE BATTLE WAS OVER. YES, SINCE WE FOUND OUT. SINCE WE FOUND OUT THAT ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.GREAT.

[30 Years of MCDC: Community Partner Spotlight - Hugs Café]
SPOTLIGHT HUGS CAFE. AND AS BEFORE OR AS YOU COME UP, I'M LAUREN. CHRIS. THIS WAS YOUR BRAINCHILD AND WANTING TO PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM OVER THE YEAR. IN OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY, HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENT EFFORTS THROUGH MCDK AND THINGS THAT PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DONE, HOW IT'S IMPACTED THE COMMUNITY, AND THEN REALLY HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE SPECIAL COMPANIES AND WHATNOT. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING. OF COURSE, THIS MEETING AND THE REST OF THE MEETINGS THIS YEAR. RIGHT. SO AND THAT WAS REALLY THE IDEA OF THE VIDEO WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST PUT TOGETHER EARLIER THIS YEAR BY CITY STAFF. AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT'S A GREAT VIDEO, BUT THE IDEA IS THAT WE HAVE, OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, IMPACTED A LOT OF PROJECTS, AND A LOT OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE DO ARE ARE THINGS THAT WON'T REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS LATER. FOR AN EXAMPLE, THE 130 SOMETHING MILLION GIVEN TO PARKS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS THAT WAS PRESENTED LAST WEEK. WHAT DO THOSE LOOK LIKE TODAY? SO IT'S DECISIONS TODAY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ASSISTED IS HUGS CAFE. WE WANTED LAUREN TO COME AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND ABOUT THEIR NEW BUILDING, AND HOW WE'VE BEEN A PART OF THAT AND WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE. SO WE WILL CONTINUE. CINDY, WHAT'S WHAT NEXT MONTH IS MCKINNEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. WE'LL COME UP AND PRESENT NEXT MONTH. SO LAUREN, THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. I FORGET ONE THING. YES, I DID, RUTH, YOU KNOW, LEADERSHIP MCKINNEY. WHAT CLASS WAS RUTH? 1818 I THINK LEADERSHIP MCKINNEY WAS THAT IS THAT RIGHT? MICHAEL? DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY BEST CLASS EVER IS THE CLASS THAT RUTH WAS IN. SO RECOGNIZING THE PANEL HERE TODAY, SHE WAS BEST CLASS EVER, 2018. RESPECTFULLY. THANK YOU. SORRY, ANGIE. BEST CLASS EVER. ALSO 21. YES, YOUR CLASS WAS 21.I KNOW IT'S TOUGH THERE TOO, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE TWO OF THEM. IT'S A TOUGH ROOM. ANGIE KNOWS, SO YOU KNOW, IT'S ANYWAY. PLEASE. OKAY. IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU ALL HERE THIS MORNING. MY NAME IS LAUREN SMITH. I AM NOW THE CEO OF HUGS CAFE, INC. I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE ROOM HERE TODAY. RUTH COULD NOT BE HERE. SHE IS CELEBRATING HER DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY, SO IT IS AMAZING THAT SHE GETS TO DO
[00:05:02]
THAT MOMENT. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TODAY. SO WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, PLEASE STAND MICHAEL JONES, WENDY SEMPER, BILL CRUMP, EVAN JONES. WALIA NAWA. THERE WE GO. LET'S ERIC WINDHAGEN. LINDA KIPP MARSHALL, HELP ME HERE. MARTY. JACOB. CLAY. JENNIFER BUSHMAN, EVERYONE HERE. DID I MISS ANYONE? NO, I THINK I GOT EVERYONE. OKAY. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE HUGS COMMUNITY. AND YOU HAVE NOT ONLY CREATED JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM, BUT YOU'VE CREATED A NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY THAT IS SO INCLUSIVE AND SO POWERFUL. SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU ALL THE HUGS TEAM, FOR BEING HERE TODAY. OKAY, OKAY. SO WITH THAT, WE WOULD LOVE TO SHARE TWO AMAZING PROJECTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN CHAMPIONING, BEING SEED AND INITIAL INVESTORS. AND THAT HAS NOT ONLY MADE HUGS SUSTAINABLE AND SUCCESSFUL, BUT IT HAS ALLOWED US TO DO SOME PRETTY INCREDIBLE THINGS. SO TODAY WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT BOTH HUGS GREENHOUSE AND A HOME FOR HUGS. YOU TRULY HAVE CREATED A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR EID EMPLOYMENT. HUGS CAFE INC. IS PROUD TO HAVE FOUR PROGRAMS. HUGS, CAFE HUGS, GREENHOUSE HUGS, HOME COOKING AND HUGS TRAINING ACADEMY. WE HAVE SIX HUGS CAFE, INC. AFFILIATES THAT REPRESENT FIVE STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE 107 TOTAL STAFF, ALTHOUGH I THINK WE'VE HIRED THREE PEOPLE SINCE THAT UPDATE. THAT REPRESENTS OVER 90 INDIVIDUALS THAT REPRESENT OUR MISSION OF EID EMPLOYMENT. WE HAVE LAST YEAR ALMOST 30,000 HOURS OF MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AND NEARLY A QUARTER OF $1 MILLION PAID OUT IN MEANINGFUL WAGES FOR THE EID COMMUNITY. SO THAT IS PRETTY POWERFUL. FROM WHAT YOU SAW FROM A DREAM OF A WOMAN TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW THAT CREATED A RESTAURANT, THAT WHEN SOMEONE SAID, HOW HARD COULD IT BE? SHE SAID, I DON'T KNOW.LET'S FIND OUT. SO KUDOS TO RUTH AND HER AMAZING VISION. HUGS, GREENHOUSE. YOUR SUPPORT CREATED THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR BARN AND GREENHOUSES. THIS INVESTMENT CREATED AN ADDITION AND EXPANSION OF OUR PRODUCTION AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO PROVIDE IRRIGATION AND HEAT, SO WE ARE NOW ABLE TO GROW PLANTS YEAR ROUND, INCLUDING POINSETTIAS AND SOME WONDERFUL THINGS. SO I WILL LEAVE IT TO THE VIDEO TO SHARE MORE. WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, AND TO GIVE THEM JOBS JUST TO BE ABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THEY ALL WANT TO WORK. THEY WANT TO HAVE A JOB BECAUSE ONCE THEY'RE OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AT ALL FOR THEM. THEY'RE SPECIAL PEOPLE AND, WELL, I WISH EVERYBODY COULD BE LIKE THEM.
IT TOUCHES YOUR HEART. YOU GIVE THANKS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO IT. IT'S JUST A FEELING IF YOU DON'T GET EVERY DAY. AND WHEN YOU'RE DOING IT EVERY DAY, YOU GET IT EVERY DAY. IT'S A JOY TO BE WITH THEM. WE'RE NINE MILES NORTH OF MCKINNEY, AND WE GROW ALL TYPES OF PLANTS ANNUALS, PERENNIALS, HANGING BASKETS AND GROW POINSETTIAS. WE LET EVERYBODY GO THROUGH THE GREENHOUSES. THEY GET PICKED THEIR OWN PLANT, THE MCDK. THEY'VE PROVIDED A COUPLE OF GRANTS. ANYTIME WE'VE GONE TO THEM TO FOR NEEDS THAT WE NEED OUT HERE TO HELP EXPAND OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST BEEN FANTASTIC. THEY'VE ALWAYS PROVIDED WHATEVER WE NEEDED WHEN WE ASKED. THEY'RE JUST A GREAT ORGANIZATION FOR US. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, HUGS GREENHOUSE STARTED AS RAW LAND AND A DREAM TO EXPAND IED EMPLOYMENT. AND WHAT STARTED AS SOME VOLUNTEERS AND BILL CRUMP JUST ROLLING UP THEIR SLEEVES. WE HAD A BARN, BUT WE NEEDED SO MUCH MORE. AND YOU GUYS REALLY ALLOWED US TO EXPAND OUR WORK, EXPAND OUR EMPLOYMENT, AND TRULY MAXIMIZE OUR INITIAL CAPACITY. WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE THAT WE NOW OWN. THE FOUR AND A HALF ACRES THAT HUGS GREENHOUSE IS ON, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WANT TO OPTIMIZE AND EXPAND THAT LAND FOR FUTURE REVENUE FOR IED EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. HUGS. GREENHOUSE HUGS. HEADQUARTERS IS OUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY. AGAIN, THIS REPRESENTS JUST NEARLY AN ACRE OF LAND. JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM HERE. IT WAS OUR DREAM TO TAKE OUR SUCCESS OF HUGS CAFE, HUGS TRAINING ACADEMY AND OUR WONDERFUL TEAM THAT IS HELPING TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS AND GROW US NATIONWIDE. BRING US ALL INTO ONE SPACE NOT ONLY WHERE WE CAN GROW AND LEARN TOGETHER, BUT WHERE WE CAN DO MORE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND CONTINUE TO BE SUSTAINABLE BY BEING IN A BUILDING THAT WE OWN OURSELVES. SO WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE MCDC AS A HUGE PART OF THAT PROJECT AND INVESTMENT.
[00:10:03]
YOU GUYS CAME IN AT A HUGE OPPORTUNITY, $1 MILLION TO SUPPORT A PROJECT THAT SERVES ID. EMPLOYMENT IS AN INCREDIBLE CATALYST GIFT THAT HAS ALLOWED US TO SUSTAIN OTHER INCREDIBLE GIFTS, AND WE WILL BE OPENING THIS SUMMER. SO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. LET'S SEE SOME AMAZING PROGRESS.SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE HUGS HEADQUARTERS IS MOVING ALONG EVERY DAY. OUR GENERAL CONSTRUCTION TEAM IS DOING AN AMAZING JOB TO BUILD THIS BUILDING QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FROM OUR CAFE IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY AND OUR ENTIRE TRAINING AND ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM TO THIS WONDERFUL SPACE THIS SUMMER. SO PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO GRAND OPENING INVITATIONS, SOFT OPENING INVITATIONS, AND MORE! YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN INTEGRAL IN THIS SUCCESS. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AS WE LOOK AT CONTRIBUTIONS TO DATE, IT IS AMAZING THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US OVER $1 MILLION TO INVEST IN IED EMPLOYMENT. YOU ARE CHANGING LIVES. YOU ARE HELPING INDIVIDUALS RECOGNIZE THAT THEY TOO CAN STAND UP AND ASK FOR MONEY. ASHTON HERSELF WENT TO TULSA AND ASKED THE MAYBE FOUNDATION FOR $1 MILLION. YOU WILL HEAR FROM HER AS SHE CO-HOSTS OUR GALA NEXT SATURDAY. JACOB IS IN THE AUDIENCE HERE TODAY. HE NOT ONLY WORKS AT OUR CAFE, BUT HE DOES AMBASSADOR WORK REPRESENTING US WITH CORPORATIONS CLAY HIMSELF TO YOU'LL FIND ADVOCATING ACROSS OUR MISSION KIT STARTED AT OUR GREENHOUSE. SHE IS NOW PART OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM COORDINATING OUR AMBASSADOR WORK ACROSS THE REGION. WE ARE DOING SUCH SPECIAL WORK AND WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOUR INVESTMENT. SO ON BEHALF OF RUTH AND THE ENTIRE HUGS TEAM, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN US AND WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR WHAT LOOKS AHEAD BECAUSE OF YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. LAUREN, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, I SPENT EIGHT YEARS AS MAYOR AND TRAVELING AROUND TO ALL KINDS OF OTHER CITIES, EVENTS AND CONFERENCES AND ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT MCKINNEY AND AND ALL OF US. EVERY MAYOR BRAGS ABOUT THEIR CITY. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR CITY HAS AND HAD AS I WAS TRAVELING THE WORLD THAT NO OTHER CITY HAS, IS A HUGS CAFE. AND AND PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT EXEMPLIFY THAT KIND OF JUST HUMANITY AND DESIRE TO TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT SOMETIMES ARE NOT OR CAN BE FORGOTTEN. AND IT WAS ALWAYS IT WAS SPECIAL TO ALWAYS BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT. AND IT WAS ALSO EQUALLY SPECIAL TO HEAR OTHER MAYORS FROM OTHER CITIES ASK ME ABOUT IT THAT HAD HEARD ABOUT HUGS. AND YOU, YOU MAKE US PROUD. THE ORGANIZATION IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES MCKINNEY EXTREMELY SPECIAL AND VERY, VERY UNIQUE. WE SAY UNIQUE BY NATURE. IT'S NOT ABOUT NATURE, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE TREES AND WHATNOT. IT'S ABOUT THE HUMAN CAPITAL AND THE AND HUGS. AND YOUR TEAM EXEMPLIFIES THE VERY BEST IN THAT. SO THANK YOU. NEXT IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY THAT IS SIGNED UP? NOBODY OUT THERE WANTS TO COME UP AND SPEAK? NO. WELL WE WILL

MOTION PASSES. REPORTS. ITEM 260146 FINANCIAL[Financial Report]
REPORT. GOOD MORNING. CAN WE START WITH THE UNAUDITED FIRST? BEAUTIFUL. OKAY. GOOD MORNING.CHANCE MILLER ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR. BEFORE I START AND GO OVER THE FINANCIALS, I DID WANT TO MENTION TUESDAY I WILL BE PRESENTING THE FINAL AUDIT TO OUR CITY COUNCIL THIS YEAR. WE HAD AN UNMODIFIED CLEAN OPINION. WE'VE HAD THAT FOR A WHILE NOW. BUT THE BIG THING THIS YEAR IS WE HAD NO PROPOSED AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS, WHICH IS VERY RARE. SO OUR AUDITOR WEAVER CAME ON STAFF. YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AUDITING US. AND SO USUALLY THEY'LL HAVE A FEW REMARKS THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO CLEAN UP A LITTLE BIT. NOTHING THAT MATERIALLY IMPACTS THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BUT THIS YEAR IT WAS COMPLETELY CLEAN.
SO IT'S A TESTAMENT TO OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT. I CAN TELL YOU A LOT OF OUR STAFF IS VERY
[00:15:03]
HAPPY AND PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL AND AUDIT, WITH NO PROPOSED AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS, AND SAYING THAT I WANTED TO KIND OF GO OVER WHAT FISCAL YEAR 25 LOOKED FOR THE CDC. SO AS WE START OFF, I WANT TO GO OVER THE INCOME STATEMENT. I PRESENTED THIS IN SEPTEMBER, I GUESS OCTOBER, AND IT SHOWED THE PRELIMINARY SEPTEMBER NUMBERS. NOW I'M SHOWING YOU THE FINAL NUMBERS. AND SO SALES TAX, WE HAD TO ACCRUE THE PAST TWO MONTHS, AND WE HAD TO TAKE OFF THE FIRST TWO MONTHS TO MAKE IT ACCRUAL BASIS. BIG PICTURE. WE BUDGETED $24.59 MILLION. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ENDED UP SLIGHTLY ABOVE THAT $24.6 MILLION. SO WE HIT OUR BUDGET. WE HAD BUDGETED A 3% INCREASE LAST YEAR. WE HAD A FEW SLOW MONTHS MORE TO THE START OF THE YEAR, BUT AS WE GOT TO THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 25, WE PICKED UP AND WE WERE ABLE TO HIT OUR BUDGET NUMBER. HEADING INTO 26, WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THE BUDGET. WE ARE BUDGETING A 3.5% INCREASE. BUT I WANTED TO MENTION THAT WE MET. WE MET BUDGET AND FINISHED ABOVE THE 3% MARK THAT WE BUDGETED FOR INTEREST INCOME. WE HAD 3.7 MILLION. WAS THE NOTHING CHANGE ON THAT? THE REST OF INCOME, NOTHING ELSE CHANGED. SALES TAX WAS THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED FOR THE UPDATED SEPTEMBER FINANCIALS. SO YEAR TO DATE WE COLLECTED $58.9 MILLION. THE MAJORITY OF THAT WAS DEBT ISSUANCE. WHEN WE ON THE GOVERNMENT WIDE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, WHEN WE ISSUE DEBT, WE HAVE TO RECORD IT AS REVENUE. WE ALSO SEE AN EXPENDITURE FOR IT TO LOOKING DOWN TO EXPENDITURES. THE FIRST TWO CATEGORIES, ONLY A FEW THINGS CHANGED. WE DID ACCRUE A FEW COMMUNITY GRANTS BACK TO FISCAL YEAR 25. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE NOW ARE SHOWING 4.7 MILLION IN COMMUNITY GRANTS FOR SEPTEMBER. THAT BROUGHT OUR TOTAL UP TO ALMOST $40 MILLION SPENT ON COMMUNITY GRANTS AND PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 25.AND AND THE BOTTOM NON-DEPARTMENTAL. THE ONE THING THAT CHANGED HERE WAS THE ECONOMIC INCENTIVE, WHICH IS THE ROADWAY TRANSFER. SO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET ALL THE SALES TAX NUMBERS. AND WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED $1.7 MILLION BACK TO THE ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION FUND, WHICH YOU AND EDC HAVE A ROLE INTO WHAT ROADS GET CONSTRUCTED WITH THOSE FUNDS. SO IN SAYING ALL THAT, WE CAN FINALLY LOOK AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF OUR INCOME STATEMENT. WE STARTED OFF WITH $81 MILLION, BROUGHT IN 58, SPENT 47. AND SO OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE IS $92.4 MILLION. I WILL NOTE THAT WE DID RE-APPROPRIATE A LOT OF PROJECT EXPENSES THAT WEREN'T ABLE TO BE SPENT IN FISCAL YEAR 25. THAT'S WHAT PROJECT TIMINGS AND A LOT OF A LOT OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN TO THE BOARD. BUT I WILL NOTE THAT WHEN WE SHOW DECEMBER FINANCIALS, YOU'LL SEE THOSE APPROPRIATIONS AND WHAT THE ENDING FUND BALANCE IS PROJECTED TO BE WITH THOSE. IF NO ONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON FISCAL YEAR 25, I'LL MOVE ON TO DECEMBER. BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON FISCAL YEAR 25. JUST ONE COMMENT FOR ANYBODY WATCHING. BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AN ENDING FUND BALANCE, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO INTO, HOW THAT'S CHANGED A LITTLE BIT IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. BUT THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDING WHAT WE KNOW TO BE PROJECTS THAT ARE ARE PENDING, THAT WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN SOME AMOUNT OF GRANTS TO OR CONTRACTED FOR AND CONTRACTED FOR. SO WHILE 92 MILLION MAY LOOK LIKE QUITE A LARGE NUMBER, BY THE TIME YOU LOOK AT THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN AWARDED TO, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT NUMBER.
AGREED. I'D EVEN SAY IT AMPLIFIES FOR THE CDC, WITH Y'ALL HAVING MULTIYEAR AGREEMENTS THAT JUST THE TIMING OF STUFF DOESN'T ALWAYS. IT MIGHT LOOK ODD ONE YEAR, THE NEXT YEAR IT KIND OF CATCHES UP. SO I'D COMMENT ON THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU. DO YOU MIND PULLING UP DECEMBER. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE IN FISCAL YEAR 26 NOW. AND FOR DECEMBER IT WAS A FAIRLY QUIET MONTH IN REGARDS TO EXPENDITURES. BUT SALES TAX WE COLLECTED A LITTLE OVER $2 MILLION. WE HAD OUR OTHER CATEGORIES THAT WE COLLECTED ON A MONTHLY BASIS, AND WE'RE AT $2.5 MILLION TOTAL FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, COLLECTED IN REGARDS TO EXPENDITURES, WE HAD OPERATIONAL EXPENSES OF 70,000. WE HAD PROJECT EXPENSES OF 521,000 AND NON-DEPARTMENTAL OF 70,000. SO TOTAL EXPENSES IS CLOSE TO 700,000. NOW, IF WE LOOK AT THE BOTTOM LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE ADDED THE. SO IT'S ACTUALLY SORRY I'M A MONTH BEHIND JANUARY WILL SEE THE APPROPRIATIONS GET ADDED. WE HAVE I FORGOT THAT WE DID THE I DON'T SEE THEM THERE I APOLOGIZE. YEAH WE DID THE PARKS ADJUSTMENT THAT WAS COME I THINK CAME TO BOARD LAST MONTH. AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW MONTHS BEHIND ON THAT. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PROJECTING TO BE AT 92 MILLION AGAIN. ONCE WE APPROPRIATIONS HIT, WE'LL BE CLOSER TO THE $7,068 MILLION MARK. APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. SO SALES TAX MONEY WE RECEIVED IN DECEMBER APPLIES TO OCTOBER. WE HAD A 5.5% INCREASE. ALLEN HAD A 24.6% INCREASE. FRISCO HAD A SLIGHT DECREASE IN PLANO HAD A 26% INCREASE. I WILL NOTE PLANO AND FRISCO HAD ADJUSTMENTS. FRISCO TRULY WAS A 2% INCREASE IN PLANO WAS MORE AROUND THE 8%. MARK ALLEN IS STILL GOING STRONG. WE HAD NO AUDIT
[00:20:04]
ADJUSTMENTS, BUT THAT DOES BRING OUR YEAR TO DATE UP CLOSER TO 5%. I'LL SAY WITH ALLEN, OBVIOUSLY, COSTCO HAS PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN WHAT WE'RE KIND OF SEEING THERE. WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF GRANULAR DATA FOR ALLEN, BUT THERE'S BEEN TALKS ABOUT DATA CENTERS. WHEN YOU FIRST CONSTRUCT THE DATA CENTER, YOU MIGHT GET SALES TAX FOR ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY'RE BUYING, BUT THAT REALLY DOESN'T HELP YOU ON ONGOING SALES TAX ON A ROUTINE BASIS. SO EVEN THOUGH THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED, MAYBE A ONE TIME HIT FOR ALLEN, BUT IT'S IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT. I DID WANT TO TOUCH ON THE CATEGORIES THOUGH, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THREE MONTHS INTO THE YEAR THAT WE'RE HOLDING FAIRLY STRONG IN OUR CATEGORIES, WE'RE AT 6% ON RETAIL TRADE. THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY STANDS OUT. YOU CAN SEE THE 30% FOR SCIENTIFIC AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. WE HAD AN AUDIT ADJUSTMENT FOR ONE OF THE CONSULTING FIRMS. AND SO TRULY THAT INCREASE IS MORE IN THE 10% RANGE. SO EVERYTHING'S HOLDING STRONG SO FAR. WE'RE ONLY THREE MONTHS IN THE YEAR. AND WE DO MONITOR THIS ON A MONTHLY BASIS. BUT NOTHING TRULY STANDS OUT TO ME THAT'S CONCERNING AT THIS TIME. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THOUGH. SO THAT'S THROUGH Q1, WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY STRONGER START TO THE YEAR BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT A 3.5 FOR THE BUDGET. CORRECT. AND SO WE ENDED LAST YEAR STRONG TOO, WHICH IS WHAT KIND OF HELPED US MEET BUDGET AND EVERYTHING FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 25. AND THAT'S CARRIED OVER INTO 26. YOUR MAIN DRIVING FORCE IS RETAIL TRADE HAS HELD STRONG AT THAT 6% MARK FOR A WHILE NOW, EVEN THOUGH WE SAW A SMALL DIP FOR ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS, FOR THE PAST NINE MONTHS IT'S BEEN STRONG, AVERAGING 6%, WHICH IS OUR BEST INDICATOR OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD. SO. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ITEM 260147 BOARD AND LIAISON REPORTS VERSUS BOARD CHAIR I'LL[Board and Liaison Reports Board Chair City of McKinney Visit McKinney McKinney Economic Development Corporation McKinney Main Street/MPAC McKinney Parks and Recreation]
SAY THAT OUR BOARD HAS BEEN BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN BUSY BUSY IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE PAST MONTH. WE'VE HAD ATTENDANCE AT EVENTS INCLUDING THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, GREAT FUTURES LUNCHEON, THE MCKINNEY COMMUNITY AWARDS, WHERE GREAT COMMUNITY COMPANY PARTNERS AND INDIVIDUALS WERE CELEBRATED, INCLUDING THE MCDC QUALITY OF LIFE AWARDS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO DAVID AND CAROLYN BROOKS, AND OUR WONDERFUL BUSINESS HEB HERE IN MCKINNEY. BUT HE WAS AWARDED THE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD, JUST TO NAME A FEW OF THE RECIPIENTS. STATE OF THE CHAMBER ANNUAL MEETING. LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS OF MCKINNEY. BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVENT. ALL EVENTS HERE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY OVER THE PAST MONTH. FOLLOWING OUR MEETING TODAY, WE HAVE THE NEW MCKINNEY PASSENGER SERVICE TERMINAL TOUR THAT SOME OF US WILL BE TAKING. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE A JOINT MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL NEXT TUESDAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.NEXT IS CITY OF MCKINNEY PAUL GRIMES. GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, A FEW THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOU. I'LL START WITH A COUPLE HISTORIC THINGS OR THINGS THAT, LOOKING BACK THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SHARE WITH YOU, WE HAD A JOINT MEETING IN THIS ROOM WITH THE MISD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WE DO THIS ONCE A YEAR. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE TWO ENTITIES TO GET TOGETHER AND EXCHANGE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MCKINNEY. I DO BELIEVE STILL, 70% OF OUR STUDENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS IN MCKINNEY GO TO MISD. SO WHILE WHILE PROSPER ISD AND FRISCO ISD ARE TWO VERY LARGE DISTRICTS AND THEY'RE GROWING IN OUR COMMUNITY, MISD STILL IS THE FLAGSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND SO WE HOLD THOSE MEETINGS ONCE A YEAR, SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEO. IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED TO CATCH SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OR TO CATCH UP ON WHAT SOME OF THE INFORMATION WAS EXCHANGED. OBVIOUSLY WE ALL ARE AWARE OF THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS UNDERWAY. WE HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE. IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET, RIGHT UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR, YOU CAN VOTE FOR EARLY VOTING. WE DO. WE HAVE OPENED OUR NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS. IF YOU'VE NOT BEEN THERE YET, WE WILL BE HAVING A GRAND OPENING, I BELIEVE IN MAY. I GOT A CHANCE TO GET A LITTLE SNEAK PREVIEW. YESTERDAY WE HAD A CARDIAC EVENT. CEREMONY? REALLY? MORE OF A RECOGNITION OF SOME SAVES. AND IT WAS AT THE NEW HEADQUARTERS. SO IT'S IT'S TERRIFIC. THEY'RE MOVED IN ROCK AND ROLL AND WORKING OUT KINKS OF MOVING INTO A NEW BUILDING, WHICH WE KNOW VERY WELL. SINCE WE JUST WENT THROUGH IT A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUMMIT COMING UP ON APRIL 13TH. READING GLASSES MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO CATCH THAT DATE. APRIL 13TH, 8 A.M. TO 1 P.M. THIS TIME IT'S AT THE I BELIEVE THIS ONE'S AT THE MI. YEAH, THE MISD COMMUNITY EVENTS CENTER AT THE FOOTBALL STADIUM EVENT CENTER THERE WE HAVE A BETTER TOGETHER INITIATIVE. SOME OF YOU MAY BE AWARE OF THAT. THE BETTER TOGETHER INITIATIVE IS OUR INITIATIVE ON ADDRESSING THE COMMUNITY WIDE, ADDRESSING IT FROM A COMMUNITY WIDE BASIS. THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS. AT THE COUNCIL MEETING NEXT TUESDAY, MARCH 3RD, WE WILL BE PRESENTING THE CONSULTANT. IT'S A CONSULTING
[00:25:04]
ENGAGEMENT. I DON'T LIKE USING THE WORD CONSULTANT. THEY'RE REALLY SERVING AS A NAVIGATOR, AND THEY WILL BE NAVIGATING WITH US A SERIES OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS, SOME RESEARCH AND COMPARISON INFO, AND A NUMBER OF THINGS TO GUIDE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A DISCUSSION ON HOW ARE WE GOING TO RECONCILE OURSELVES TO HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY? HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO IT? IT'S AN AFFLICTION THAT WE ALL DEAL WITH, ALL COMMUNITIES, AND WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES. WE HAVE TO ARRIVE AT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, HOW WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH IT. IN MCKINNEY, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS IS THE TEAM WHO WAS, IS, OR IS BEING RECOMMENDED BY STAFF TO GUIDE THAT EFFORT. AFTER A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS, A COUPLE COUNCIL MEMBERS SERVE AS LIAISONS ON THAT, AND THEY PARTICIPATED AS WELL. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT PROGRESS. WE ANTICIPATE A FINAL SORT OF SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS, A ROADMAP, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE COMMUNITY BY OCTOBER, NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. SO IT'LL BE ONGOING THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. WE HAVE A UPDATED NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING ROUTE POLICY. DID A STUDY PROBABLY 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO. THEY'VE UPDATED THAT.THEY PRESENTED IT AT WORK SESSION AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. I BELIEVE OUR LAST WORK SESSION ON FEBRUARY 17TH. YOU CAN CERTAINLY GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. I THINK THE REPORT IS ALSO POSTED WITH THE AGENDA ITEM ONLINE. I WANT TO SHARE A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS WITH YOU FOR UPCOMING MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. WE WILL BE. CHANCE WAS UP HERE GIVING YOU THE FINANCIAL REPORTS. HE HE TOUCHED ON THE AUDIT. OUR ACFR IS THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT THAT WILL BE PRESENTED AT WORK SESSION NEXT TUESDAY, AND THEN ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AT THE REGULAR MEETING AS WELL. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND IF THE COUNCIL WISHES TO BEGIN A REGISTRATION PROGRAM THAT WILL BE AT WORK SESSION, WE'LL ALSO HAVE A TOURS MEETING WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OVERVIEW OF SORT OF A PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW OF TOURS ONE, AS WELL AS THE DISCUSSION ABOUT FUNDING, INITIAL ENGINEERING, PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING FOR A PARKING STRUCTURE DOWNTOWN LOCATED. IT'S ALL PART OF THE DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT. AND THE FIRST PHASE OF THAT WOULD BE A PARKING STRUCTURE. AND THIS IS A PART OF FUNDING THE INITIAL DESIGN PLANNING. AND THEN JUST A COUPLE OTHER THINGS TO TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THE OR TO HAVE IN MIND FOR THE REGULAR MEETING. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF ENGINEERING DESIGN CONTRACTS THAT ARE MAYBE OF INTEREST. ONE OF THEM IS WHATELY PARK SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT, WHATELY PARK. WE'RE FINALIZING THE DESIGN ENGINEERING FOR REDOING WHATELY PARK. IT'LL BE A COMPLETELY REBUILT PARK. I BELIEVE WE BUDGETED TWO PLUS MILLION DOLLARS FOR THAT. SO THAT WILL BE COMING. WE EXPECT CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN ON WHATELY PARK THIS YEAR, AND THEN WE HAVE ALSO A DESIGN PROJECT FOR STONEBRIDGE DRIVE NORTH OF US 380, FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, THAT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.
WELL, WE HAVE THIS. WE'RE BRINGING A CONTRACT FOR DESIGN WORK FOR DRIVE NORTH OF US 380 TO, I BELIEVE, BLOOMINGDALE ROAD. SO THAT'S MOVING ALONG AND I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR PAUL. JUST A QUICK COMMENT. ACTUALLY UNRELATED ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS WITH THIS BOARD, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT A PARTICULAR QUESTION ON THE FINANCES FOR THE CITY. COULDN'T FIND IT PARTICULARLY EASY. LEFT A VOICEMAIL ON THE MAIN FINANCE PHONE LINE. OKAY, SO IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH ANY OF THESE CHANNELS, JUST JUST LEFT A VOICEMAIL. WITHIN TWO DAYS, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL AND GOT THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION FROM YOUR STAFF. SO THANKS FOR THE RESPONSIVENESS. I DON'T THINK THEY KNEW ANYTHING OTHER THAN HERE'S A HERE'S A QUESTION. THEY ANSWERED IT. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. GOOD TO HEAR. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. ANYTHING ELSE. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH. THANKS, PAUL. VISIT MCKINNEY AARON. GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AARON WARNER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF VISIT MCKINNEY. ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU GUYS. A FEW QUICK UPDATES FOR YOU. KIND OF A NEW PIECE OF BUSINESS. SINCE THE LAST TIME THAT I STOOD BEFORE YOU, FC BARCELONA REACHED OUT TO US THROUGH A LEAD, ACTUALLY THROUGH THE DALLAS SPORTS COMMISSION, LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HOST A CAMPER CLINIC THIS SUMMER. AND IT TURNS OUT WE HAD SOME SPACE OVER AT CRAIG RANCH SOCCER AT OUR NEW FACILITY THAT LOOKS INCREDIBLE. AND SO THEY WILL BE IN MCKINNEY JUNE 29TH THROUGH JULY 3RD. SO A PRETTY COOL LITTLE THING. IT'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUTH SOCCER PLAYERS FROM AROUND THE REGION TO COME AND GET SOME ADDITIONAL TRAINING BY SOME PRETTY COOL PEOPLE. MOVING ON TO MORE SPORTS STUFF. A LOT OF
[00:30:01]
THIS YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A BIG TIE IN WITH PARKS AND RECREATION, SO I JUST WANT TO, BEFORE I EVEN START, JUST GIVE KUDOS TO THEIR TEAM AND ALL THAT THEY DO AND THE INCREDIBLE FACILITIES THAT WE DO HAVE. THE FIRST ONE BEING THE PPA, TEXAS OPEN PROFESSIONAL PICKLEBALL, SECOND YEAR TO HOST IT HERE IN MCKINNEY. THIS IS THE EVENT. THEY DO ABOUT $100,000 BUILD OUT OUT OF THE COURTS AND CREATE A RAISED STADIUM SEATING. IT IS LIVE BROADCASTED AND SOME OF THE TOP PICKLEBALL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD WILL BE ON SITE. SO THAT IS MARCH 9TH THROUGH THE 15TH. IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FOR US, AND THEN WE MOVE RIGHT INTO THE FIRST ANNUAL BMW OR THE FIRST EVER BMW HALF MARATHON. THIS IS BY THE SAME GROUP THAT DO THE DALLAS MARATHON. SO VERY PROFESSIONAL AT WHAT THEY DO IN THE RACE WORLD. LAST TIME WE MET WITH THEM, WHICH HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, THEY WERE AT 60% SOLD OUT. I'M ASSUMING THAT'S PROBABLY MORE LIKE 70 PLUS BY THIS POINT. AND THEY EXPECT OVER 4000 RUNNERS FOR YEAR ONE, MARCH 28TH, AND THEN THE LAST ONE I'M GOING TO TOUCH ON TODAY BECAUSE THE SPRING IS BUSY AND I'D BE UP HERE ALL DAY. TELLING YOU ABOUT COOL EVENTS IS THE INTERNATIONAL GIRLS CUP OF MCKINNEY YEAR TWO. AGAIN, HUGE PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR PARKS TEAM AND ALL THAT THEY DO. THAT'S APRIL 1ST THROUGH THE FIFTH. CURRENTLY THEY HAVE TEAMS FROM MEXICO, COLOMBIA, CANADA AND THEN HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, GEORGIA, HOUSTON, EL PASO, NEW JERSEY AND MUCH MORE. SO THEY EXPECT OVER 150 TEAMS COMING IN FOR THAT EVENT ALONE. AND SO LAST, LAST YEAR WAS INCREDIBLE.AND WE HOPE TO BUILD ON THAT THIS YEAR AND BRING IN MORE INTERNATIONAL, IF POSSIBLE. THE VERY LAST THING I HAVE FOR YOU IS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR TEAM. IF YOU SAW YESTERDAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR LINKEDIN, ANYWHERE, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING TONY ADAMO OVER TO THE MCKINNEY SIDE OF THINGS. AND TONY'S BEEN A PART OF THE CITY FOR A LONG TIME, BUT HE'S GOING TO COME OVER TO CVB TO BE OUR SALES MANAGER. SO AS WE TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY, THE STATE PROMOTING MCKINNEY AND TRYING TO GET MORE EVENTS LIKE THIS TO THE COMMUNITY, TONY WILL BE THE FACE OF DOING THAT AT A LOT OF OUR STUFF. MANY OF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT HE ACTUALLY SPENT TIME WITH TWO OTHER CVBS IN THE PAST, SO HE'S BEEN WITH GARLAND AND GRAPEVINE CVB, AND SO HE'S COMING BACK OVER TO THE TOURISM SIDE OF THINGS, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE HIM. WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOREIGN. THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU SIR. MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION I DON'T WHAT'S THAT REPORT ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA? MCKINNEY PARKS AND RECREATION. PEOPLE CAN ATTEND. CAN YOU SEE? DO YOU WANT ME TO STATE THAT? GOOD MORNING. CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT AMY KINCAID, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC. I JUST WANT TO. FIRST, I LOVE COMING BEHIND AARON. I JUST APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH MCKINNEY AND HELPING US BRING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO OUR FINE FACILITIES. WE HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONTINUE AND GROW THAT. SO THANK YOU. VISIT MCKINNEY. JUST A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PAST. WE RECENTLY WENT TO TRAPS DOWN IN CORPUS. I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT DAVID NICHOLS, WHO'S A PART OF THE PARKS MAINTENANCE PLAN, CAME AWAY WITH FIRST PLACE IN THE ZERO MOWER, ZERO TURN MOWING COMPETITION AND THE MAINTENANCE RODEO. THAT'S A TONGUE TWISTER FOR THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING. BUT HE COMPETED AGAINST SOME OF THE BEST IN THE STATE. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVID.

WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. A QUESTION IN THE GABE NESBITT COMPLEX WHERE THE PSA BUILDING IS, ARE THOSE LIGHTS OWNED AND OPERATED BY PSA OR BY THE CITY, THE PARKING LOT LIGHT STRUCTURES, THOSE ARE ALL A PART OF THE COMMUNITY PARK. OKAY, I RAISE IT BECAUSE IN THE EVENINGS THAT LOT IS VERY CROWDED WITH KIDS COMING IN AND OUT OF PSA AND THE LIGHTS SEEM VERY DIM. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BULBS ARE DIM OR THE LIGHTS ARE NOT POSITIONED CORRECTLY, BUT IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE CARS COMING IN AND OUT AND THE KIDS RUNNING ACROSS THE LOT. AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF MAYBE SOMEBODY COULD CHECK ON THAT. ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN GET THAT CHECKED OUT. NOT A QUESTION, BUT A COMMENT. SO WHATELY PARK, YES, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DID. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL CONCERNING SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT BEING REMOVED, AND THE LIGHTING WASN'T VERY GOOD OUT THERE AS WELL. AND YOU GUYS MOVED VERY QUICKLY TO GET THE LIGHTING MITIGATED. I THINK IT'S STILL A LITTLE DIM IN SOME AREAS, SO IF Y'ALL COULD CHECK ON THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AS FAR AS THE RENOVATIONS, WE'RE VERY EXCITED AND I THINK THEY START IN APRIL.

THE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL FINAL REPORTS FOR PROMOTIONAL AND COMMUNITY EVENT GRANTS. THE MILL HOUSE DID A GREAT JOB OF BREAKING DOWN THE EVENTS THAT WERE SUPPORTED BY THE PROMOTIONAL GRANT, AND THE RESULTS OF THE FUNDING THAT THEY RECEIVED IN ALLOCATED TO EACH EVENT.
MCKINNEY PHILHARMONIC ALSO IS DOING, I THINK, A LOT MORE ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRAMING THAT THEY THEY SCHEDULE, THE TYPES OF CONCERTS AND WHAT DRAWS ATTENDEES AND AND THOSE THAT DON'T PERFORM AS WELL. AND THEY'VE INCREASED THEIR SUBSCRIPTION SUBSCRIBERS BY 6% YEAR OVER YEAR. SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE. AND THEN COLLIN COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUMS REPORT IS ALSO IN THERE IN DETAILS HOW THEIR PROMOTIONAL GRANT FUNDS WERE WERE SPENT. WE WILL OPEN OUR SECOND CYCLE OF OUR APPLICATION PERIOD FOR SECOND CYCLE OF PROJECT GRANTS MARCH 1ST, AND WILL ACCEPT THEM THROUGH MARCH 31ST. THOSE WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD AT THE APRIL MEETING. AND THEN JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS ON THE COMMUNITY NEWS FRONT, PAUL MENTIONED THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUMMIT. REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. DEBORAH BRADFORD HAS AGREED TO EMCEE THAT EVENT, AND OUR KEYNOTE THAT DAY WILL BE DOCTOR CLARK CULLUM FROM THE BUSH INSTITUTE. AND THE PANELS AND TOPICS ARE SHAPING UP REALLY WELL.

BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR THEIR JANUARY NEWSLETTER AND STATS, DESPITE BEING CLOSED FOR FOUR DAYS BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER IN JANUARY, THEY SERVED 2560 MEALS FREE MEALS TO MEN, WOMEN AND KIDS AND DISTRIBUTED 37 ALMOST 3,800 POUNDS OF FOOD TO THEIR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRIES. SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THAT GROUP. AND THEN ALSO EAST MCKINNEY LEARNING GARDEN. I'LL GET THIS OUT TO YOU. BUT BRUCE MEADE SENT IN AN ANNUAL REPORT YESTERDAY AND JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE AND RECOGNIZE BRUCE AND MCKINNEY PARKS FOUNDATION AND THE MANY VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THAT PROGRAM.

THEY ESTABLISHED GREAT PARTNERSHIPS WITH MISD. I THINK THEY HAVE PROGRAMS IN A TOTAL OF SIX SCHOOLS THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH THE MCKINNEY GARDEN CLUB AND OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS. SO THEY ARE THEY RECEIVED THEIR FINAL CEO IN DECEMBER, SO THEY ARE GEARING UP FOR A YEAR OF EDUCATION AND INSTRUCTION AT THE GARDEN. SO IT LOOKS GREAT IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, PLEASE DO.AND I THINK THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
