[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:09]

GOSH. COME ON. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD. WE'RE IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS, AND WE ARE AT 401 EAST VIRGINIA STREET IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. IT IS 8:00 IN THE MORNING. IT'S THURSDAY, MARCH 26TH. AND THIS IS OUR MCKINNEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION MEETING.

THIS MEETING WILL BE STREAMED LIVE THROUGH THE CITY'S WEBSITE. ANY MEMBER, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO WATCH THIS MEETING AND WATCH IT LIVE. BUT IT IS ALSO REBROADCAST OR IT'S IT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU IN ARCHIVE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK AND SEE IT LATER. LET'S START WITH THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. IF EVERYONE WOULD STAND AND JOIN. 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. ALL RIGHT. WE

[26-0237 30 Years of MCDC: Community Partner Spotlight - McKinney Main Street and McKinney Performing Arts Center]

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS GREAT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE AND GET EDUCATED ON. IF THEY DON'T ALREADY KNOW WHAT CDC DOES, THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE COMMUNITY. SO LET'S ROLL THE VIDEO. 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. EVERYTHING.

CAN BE.

BEAUTIFUL. ALL RIGHT. SO AS I SAID, OUR FIRST ITEM 260237. AJ, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, JUST FOR A MINUTE BEFORE WE BRING UP ANDREW JONES, YOU WERE ON THE BOARD FOR MAIN STREET AND KNOW INTIMATELY WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DO. YES. I HAD AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH ANDREW AND HIS TEAM WHILE SITTING ON THE MAIN STREET BOARD, AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT ANDREW AND HIS TEAM DO AN EXCELLENT JOB AT CREATING THE SPIRIT AND THAT HEART OF MCKINNEY. THROUGH ALL THE FESTIVALS AND THE THOUGHT PROCESSES THAT THEY GO THROUGH.

NOT ONLY THAT, IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T RIDDEN THE TROLLEY, GO AHEAD AND DO THAT BECAUSE THERE THERE WASN'T EVEN JUST THE THOUGHT OF BRINGING THE TROLLEY. BUT WHAT DOES THAT TROLLEY, WHAT IS THAT EXPERIENCE GOING TO BE HERE IN MCKINNEY AND HOW CAN WE MAKE IT AN ICONIC PART OF OUR DOWNTOWN? AND THEY DO SUCH AN AMAZING JOB TIME AND TIME AGAIN. AND IT IS SUCH A PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE ANDREW AND HAVE HIM COME UP AND SHARE ALL THE AMAZING THINGS THAT MAIN STREET HAS DONE OVER THE YEARS. WOW. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ANDREW JONES. WELL, THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. THANK YOU. THAT WAS GREAT. AND I DO WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO CHRIS. HE WAS ALSO ON OUR BOARD. WE ARE KIND OF A FEEDER BOARD FOR CDC. I THINK I YOU KNOW, BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME, RIGHT? BECAUSE A LOT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED SOMETIMES

[00:05:01]

TODAY, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT A THRIVING, VIBRANT PLACE, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE THINGS CDC TOUCHES, WHETHER THAT'S EVENTS, THE FARMERS MARKET, EVENTS, INSIDE IMPACT, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PLAYERS IN MAKING MCKINNEY THE HEARTBEAT OR MAKING DOWNTOWN THE HEARTBEAT OF MCKINNEY AND A VIBRANT DISTRICT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. HERE'S SOME STATS.

YOU KNOW, SINCE 2016, WE SAW 120% INCREASE IN OUR SALES TAX. WHEN I ADD UP ALL THE CDC INVESTMENTS. SO NOT JUST INVESTMENTS LIKE THROUGH MAIN STREET OR, BUT EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN TOUCHED IN DOWNTOWN FROM. AND THANK YOU, LINDA, FOR HELPING ME GET ALL THESE RECORDS. IT'S OVER 47 MILLION, WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. LAST YEAR, WE HAD 4.8 MILLION VISITS IN THE DISTRICT. WE HAVE OVER 200 PLUS SMALL BUSINESSES. THAT IS AN AMAZING CONCENTRATION OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN A VERY SMALL AREA. ALL THE TOP THREE EVENTS ARE EVENTS THAT CDC SUPPORTS. OKTOBERFEST, HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, ARTS IN BLOOM. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE OVER 671,000 IN RETAIL DEVELOPMENT GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES. SO GREAT STATS HERE. WE ARE REALLY WE SEE OURSELVES AS TRUE PARTNERS IN BRINGING NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE TO DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. AND WE ACCOMPLISHED THAT THROUGH LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT I'M GOING TO START WITH IMPACT.

SINCE 2004, WE'VE HAD OVER 4000 PUBLIC PERFORMANCES. OVER 250,000 PLUS TICKETS SOLD.

WE'RE HOME TO THE MCKINNEY REPERTORY THEATER AND THE YOUNG ACTORS GUILD, SO WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT LOCAL THEATER. WE HAVE WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF GREAT ACTS, BUT WE'RE READY FOR KIND OF OUR SECOND GREAT ACT. AND THIS IS A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT OUR FUTURE PLANS FOR IMPACT. AS CDC IS AN ANNUAL SUPPORTER OF THE PROGRAM, WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, RENOVATING THE IMPACT AND INTRODUCING A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE.

THESE ARE SOME OF OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES. THOUGHTFUL, HISTORIC PRESERVATION. ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE IS WEAVING THE HISTORY OF THE COURTHOUSE INTO OUR DESIGN AND PROGRAMING, IMPROVING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. AND THAT GOES FROM BUYING A TICKET ONLINE TO FINDING YOUR SEAT. EVERYTHING IS GETTING RETOOLED. AND ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, IMPACT WORKS VERY CLOSELY WITH MAIN STREET TO DRIVE TRAFFIC TO THE DISTRICT. AND WE LOOK TO INCREASE THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF THE SHOWS THAT WE HAVE. SO WHY, WHY ARE WE DOING THIS NOW? YOU KNOW, 20 YEARS GOES BY VERY QUICKLY. AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES THAT WE'RE TAKING BOTH IN THE THEATER BUT ALSO OUTSIDE. HERE ARE SOME CURRENT PHOTOS OF THE BUILDING. I WILL SAY THESE AREN'T REALLY CURRENT PHOTOS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DEMO WORK SINCE THEN. AND, YOU KNOW, SO THE THEATER LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT RIGHT NOW AS THEY GET THE SCAFFOLDING UP. YOU KNOW, I LOVE THIS PHOTO BECAUSE I HATE IT SO MUCH. THIS IS THESE ARE OUR PUBLIC RESTROOMS. YOU KNOW, IF, IF I WERE TO CALCULATE HOW

[00:10:01]

AND THAT WAS THIS LIKE SAGE GREEN THAT YOU SEE HERE. COOL. WE ALSO ARE, YOU KNOW, HERE'S A SHOT OF THE BATHROOMS IN THE BASEMENT. SO WE WANTED THOUGHTFUL SELECTIONS THAT MIMIC THE, THE STYLING OF THE, OF THE FACILITY, YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE 30S WHEN IT WAS RENOVATED TO THE CURRENT DESIGN THAT YOU SEE NOW THIS IS THE MAIN HALLWAY. SO WHEN YOU COME IN HERE, YOU NEED TO FEEL LIKE A, YOU'RE READY FOR A THEATRICAL MOMENT. AND YOU KNOW, THE SPACE IS GOING TO KIND OF MIMIC THAT. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TREATS OF THE, OF THE WHOLE RENOVATION. WE HAVE THE, THE BEAUTIFUL JUDGE'S BENCH, WHICH HAS BEEN HIDDEN FOR THE LAST 60 PLUS YEARS TO THE PUBLIC, IS COMING OUT AS A BAR AND SERVING AREA IN THE BACK OF THE OF THE COURTHOUSE THEATER. AND THEN HERE'S A LOOK FROM THE BALCONY, YOU KNOW, UPDATED CURTAINS, UPGRADED TECH. BUT WE ARE EXCITED TO KIND OF REALLY SHOW OFF EMPAC AS KIND OF THE GYM THAT IT REALLY CAN BE. AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN THAT AND MAKING THAT A POSSIBILITY. HERE'S JUST KIND OF A PROJECT TIMELINE. WE HOPE TO WRAP THIS UP BY NOVEMBER 2026. SUMMER, YOU'LL SEE A REBRAND OF EMPAC. I'LL GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK. IT'S GOING TO.

OUR NEW NAME IS GOING TO BE THE COURTHOUSE THEATER, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY APT TO TO WHAT I SAID, WEAVING THAT HISTORY INTO OUR PROGRAMING. VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. SO LET'S GO ON TO SOME OTHER MCDC SUPPORTED DOWNTOWN PROJECTS. I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU, YOU'RE SITTING IN IT. OBVIOUSLY THE CIVIC HALL PLAZA, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS NOT AN EASY PROJECT TO HAVE. CITY HALL HERE IN DOWNTOWN. YOU KNOW, IT COULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO JUST DO IT IN A FIELD UP NORTH OR OUT WEST, BUT HAVING CITY HALL CONTINUE TO BE A PART OF DOWNTOWN IS A REALLY IMPORTANT LEGACY. ALSO, THE DOWNTOWN WATER TOWER RESTORATION PROJECT, YOU SEE THE NETTING GOING UP, DISPEL ANY RUMORS. IT'S GOING TO BE RESTORED. WE'LL HAVE THE OLD LOGO WILL BE RESTORED UP THERE. WE GOT MCDC INVESTMENTS IN DOWNTOWN PARTNERS AND PROJECTS. THE VIDEO, YOU KNOW, CAN SHOW A LOT OF, OF, OF THIS ALREADY, BUT JUST THE COLLIN COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUM, THE CRAIG CENTER FOR THE ARTS, CHESTNUT SQUARE, THE FLOUR MILL, TUFTS, ALL THESE ARE JUST GENERATING A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES FOR THE PUBLIC THAT ARE KIND OF UNPARALLELED IN NORTH TEXAS. AND THEN WE GO INTO CDC SUPPORTED EVENTS. I COULD HAVE TEN SLIDES JUST ON EVENTS IN DOWNTOWN. WE HAVE OVER, OVER LIKE 500 EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. BUT, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN ARTS AND BLOOM, EMPTY BOWLS, DIA DE LOS MUERTOS CREW, BARCA'S THE SIP AND STROLLS, THE ASIAN FEST. THERE'S SO MUCH ACTIVITY THAT YOU ALL TOUCH AND ARE KEY PLAYERS WITH. AND SO FOR THAT GRATEFUL. AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE MAIN STREET PROJECTS. IF YOU LOOK AT IF YOU TRY TO LOOK AT A PICTURE OF DOWNTOWN, YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO SEE IMPACT, WHICH WAS A CDC FUNDED PROJECT, OR YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS, THIS BEAUTIFUL NEON SIGNS, WHICH WAS ALSO THE CDC SUPPORTED PROJECT. YOU MIGHT EVEN SEE THE TROLLEY, WHICH IS A CDC. I THINK YOU GET THE POINT HERE. JUST THE PARTNERSHIP IS HAS BEEN INVALUABLE. AND, YOU KNOW, I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH CINDY AND LINDA AND, AND JUST BE PARTNERS TO TO MAKE DOWNTOWN AN AMAZING PART. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU. ANDREW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ABSOLUTELY. AND WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE, AS YOU SAID, THE IMPACT WAS BOARDED UP. IT WAS ALSO CHAIN LINK FENCE ALL THE WAY AROUND.

AND THERE WAS PIGEONS MADE THAT PLACE ITS HOME. AND I HAD A BUSINESS HERE WITH, WITH THE CAMERON FAMILY BACK IN THE EARLY 90S, AND WE WERE ONE OF JUST A HANDFUL OF BUSINESSES.

AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT ANTIQUES. AND DOWN HERE, JUST JUST CONSIGNMENT AND MOSTLY ANTIQUE AND ARCHITECTURAL ARTIFACTS OR, YOU KNOW, OLD DOORS AND BRACKETS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. AND I WOULD SAY, WHAT? MAYBE 80% OF THE BUSINESSES WERE CLOSED. VERY FEW BUILDINGS WERE OCCUPIED. WE HAD PEOPLE LIKE DON DAY, RICK WELLS, WHO RICK WELLS CONTINUES TO THIS

[00:15:05]

MARCUS LLOYD IS SEATED WITH US TODAY. MARCUS IS AN ALTERNATE AND ANGIE RICHARDSON WOODS IS HAD TO BE OUT TODAY. MARCUS IS ALWAYS SUPER ENGAGED AND VERY INVOLVED AS AN ALTERNATE. HE OPERATES AND HANDLES HIMSELF AS A FULL MEMBER AND WE CERTAINLY CONSIDER HIM THAT. SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU UP HERE TODAY, SIR. GREAT TO BE HERE. THANK YOU. YOU'RE NOT AS PRETTY AS ANGELA.

[26-0238 Informational Update on the McKinney Fire Department’s Neighborhood Heroes Program]

GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. THIS IS AN A D AND SO MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN ADS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY BEFORE. THIS IS A OBVIOUSLY A MUCH SMALLER VERSION THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IN THE PAST. THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN THE FIRE SERVICE AND EMS, AND IT IS TIME IS TISSUE. THE FASTER THAT WE CAN GET TO A PATIENT AND PROVIDE EMERGENCY CARE, THEN THE BETTER THE OUTCOME IS GOING TO BE. SO WE HAVE 200 OF THESE AEDS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE IN POLICE VEHICLES, THEY'RE IN FIRE APPARATUS, THEY'RE IN PARKS. THEY'RE IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS. IN FACT, THIS BUILDING RIGHT HERE HAS A LITTLE OVER 12 AEDS IN IT. BUT THAT'S NOT WHERE WE'RE HAVING CARDIAC ARRESTS. WE'RE HAVING CARDIAC ARRESTS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, OUT IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO GET THESE AEDS OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS THAT ARE SIGNED UP TO WORK IN, IN AN APP THAT WE THAT WE HAVE CALLED GOODSAM. AND THAT'S WHERE THEY GET NOTIFIED THAT SOMEBODY IS HAVING A CARDIAC ARREST IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO RESPOND AND THEY'RE TRAINED AND THEY CAN DO HANDS ONLY CPR ON A PATIENT. BUT THE NEXT LEVEL THAT WE WANT TO GET THEM TO IS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH AN AED. SO THAT'S THE VISION THAT WE HAVE IS TO BE A FOUR MINUTE CITY SO THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE AT IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, YOU ARE NO FURTHER AWAY THAN FOUR MINUTES FROM ONE OF THESE DEVICES. IF SOMEONE GOES INTO CARDIAC ARREST THAT THEY CAN GET THERE AND THEY CAN PROVIDE HANDS ON CPR AND THEN APPLY THE DEFIBRILLATOR, AND THEN WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER OUTCOME. SO TO GIVE YOU THE BACKSTORY ON THIS, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE BATTALION CHIEF BEN JONES. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE HIS LEADERSHIP AND HIS VISION. HE WAS THE ONE IN HIS TEAM THAT BROUGHT THIS TO OUR ATTENTION. AND SO HE'S THE ONE THAT'S ACTUALLY PUSHING THIS FORWARD. SO CHIEF JONES.

THANKS, CHIEF, I APPRECIATE THAT. MR. FULLER, YOU LOOK SO COMFORTABLE UP THERE. YOU FIGURE OUT WHY. I JUST JUST AS ANDREW HAS SO WONDERFULLY SHOWN, THAT WHEN YOU INVEST IN YOUR COMMUNITY, THE PEOPLE WILL TURN AROUND AND THEY WANT TO LIVE HERE. THEY WANT TO BE HERE. I'M HERE TO STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY TO INTRODUCE TO YOU A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT IS INVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY WHEN IT MATTERS MOST, WHEN SOMEONE'S HAVING THEIR WORST DAY, WHAT ARE WE AS A FIRE DEPARTMENT GOING TO DO OR AS A COMMUNITY GOING TO DO TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SURVIVAL? SO LITTLE BACKSTORY THAT LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO, WE STARTED DIGGING DEEP INTO SOME OF OUR CARDIAC ARREST SURVIVAL RATES, AND THEY WERE NOT PRETTY. WE'RE IN THE COUNTY SEAT. PLENTY OF FUNDING, PLENTY OF TRAINING. WE'VE GOT GREAT APPARATUS. CITY TAKES GOOD CARE OF US. WHY WERE OUR NUMBERS NOT WHERE THEY NEEDED TO BE? AND SO

[00:20:05]

WHAT WE FOUND IS OUR OUR DISPATCH TIME WAS ABOUT A MINUTE 40. WE HAD TO CUT THAT BACK. SO WE PROVIDED TRAINING TO OUR DISPATCHERS THERE. NOW OUR AVERAGE IS ABOUT 54 SECONDS.

SO OUR DISPATCHERS ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB. THE NEXT THING WE HAD TO DO WAS INTRODUCE WHAT'S CALLED TELEPHONE CPR. SO THOSE DISPATCHERS WERE ALL TRAINED ON HOW TO PERFORM TO TO TALK SOMEBODY THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PERFORMING CPR. AND THOSE, THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE LIKE, HEY, WE NEED TO GET A PROPER DEPTH ON THE CHEST. WE NEED TO GET THEM ON THE FLOOR, GET THEM ON A HARD SURFACE, REALLY WORK WITH SOMEONE AS THEY'RE WATCHING ONE OF THEIR LOVED ONES GO THROUGH THEIR WORST DAY. THE NEXT THING WE NEED TO DO IS, IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET DEFIBRILLATION THERE? WELL, AS I JUST SHOWED, 90% OF THESE CARDIAC CARDIAC ARRESTS HAPPEN IN THE HOMES. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I DON'T HAVE AN AED IN MY HOME UNTIL NOW. BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET AN AED THERE? WELL, IT'S GOT TO SHOW UP BY POLICE CAR OR A FIRE ENGINE. WELL, FROM THE TIME THAT CALL GETS ROUTED TO THE TIME WE SHOW UP ON SCENE IS ABOUT 7 TO 8 MINUTES THAT THAT PERSON HAS BEEN SUFFERING IN A CARDIAC ARREST. SO IF WE DO THE TIME FRAME, THAT PERSON HAS LOST 70 TO 80% CHANCE OF SURVIVABILITY. SO I WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS EARLY DEFIBRILLATION PART. HOW CAN WE GET AN AED INTO THE HOME QUICKER. SO THIS SIDE HERE JUST GOES THROUGH KIND OF HOW THIS WORKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HERO APPROACH THOUGH, WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO PLACE THESE. WE WANT TO PLACE ABOUT 400 OF THESE ACROSS THE CITY. NOW IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE SHOW UP AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU AN AED. THESE PEOPLE ARE VETTED, THEY'RE TRAINED, AND THEY'RE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION.

THEY'RE FOLLOWED UP WITH AND THEY'RE TRACKED. AND WHEN THEY COME UP AND THEY MEET WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE PROVIDE THIS TRAINING. WE ISSUE THEM AN AED. THEY THEN HAVE THE ABILITY, WHEN A CARDIAC ARREST HAPPENS TO RESPOND WITHIN A DESIGNATED AREA. SO IF I'M AT THE STORE AND I HAVE MY APP RUNNING ON MY PHONE, I GET A NOTIFICATION FROM DISPATCH. IT SAYS YOU HAVE A CARDIAC ARREST WITHIN A HALF MILE OR A MILE, DEPENDING ON WHAT RADIUS I SET. I HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESPOND AND I CAN ACCEPT IT, OR I CAN DECLINE IT, AND I CAN GO PUT HANDS ON THE CHEST AND I CAN START BEING A FIRST RESPONDER, BUT I'M GOING TO AMPLIFY THAT 60%. IT GOES UP BY 60% SURVIVABILITY IF YOU ADD A DEFIBRILLATOR IN THERE. SO IF I HAVE THIS IN MY CAR AND I CAN TAKE THIS WITH ME TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE AND HELP THEM, THAT INCREASES THEIR CHANCE EXPONENTIALLY TO SURVIVE. SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT? IT'S THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO NUMEROUS AGENCIES. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WE'VE WORKED WITH WITH THEIR GT PROGRAMS ON HELPING US THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. WE'VE WE'VE TALKED TO BUSINESS OWNERS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE CURRENTLY TRYING TO RAISE FUNDS TO HELP US GAIN ENOUGH MONEY TO PURCHASE THESE AEDS. SO WE'RE IN. WE'RE IN THIS STAGE NOW WHERE WE'RE. WE'VE TRAINED OUR DISPATCHERS. WE'VE TRAINED OUR POLICE OFFICERS. WE'VE EQUIPPED OUR OFFICERS. SO NOW THOSE AEDS ARE GETTING OUT. NOW OUR NEXT STEP IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? NUMBER FOUR, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE VOLUNTEERS INTO THE

[00:25:01]

WE RECENTLY HAD ONE STOLEN OUT OF FINCH PARK. IT ENDED UP OUT IN TERRELL, CALLED POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID, HEY, WE LOST AN AED. THEY SAID, OKAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT? I SAID WITH OUR GPS TRACKED, GAVE HIM ACCESS TO OUR DASHBOARD. THEY CALLED KAUFMAN COUNTY. KAUFMAN COUNTY TRACKED THIS THING DOWN. WE'RE ABLE TO RECOVER IT FROM US TO FIND OUT THE GUY BOUGHT IT OFF OF FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE FROM SOMEONE. HE WAS GOING TO FLIP IT, BUT WHO KNEW? WHO KNEW THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A MARKET FOR THEM? PRETTY INTERESTING.

THEY'RE SMART AEDS. THESE THINGS WILL ACTUALLY TEACH YOU OR WALK YOU THROUGH STEP BY STEP HOW TO PERFORM CPR. THAT'S WHAT'S SO WONDERFUL ABOUT TECHNOLOGY TODAY. THE OLD AEDS WERE PRETTY BIG. THEY'RE PRETTY BULKY, MOST OF THEM. YOU RECOGNIZE THEM IN A YELLOW CASE.

ONCE A MONTH, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO GO AROUND AND PUT HANDS ON THEM TO RUN A SELF-TEST.

THIS RUNS A SELF-TEST EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I COULD LOG IN AT ANY GIVEN TIME ON A DASHBOARD, AND I CAN SEE WHERE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ARE, AND I CAN SEE THE HEALTH OF EVERY ONE OF THEM. AND THEN I PULL THESE PADS OUT, BUT IT'S REALLY LOUD, BUT IT'LL SHOW YOU WHERE TO PLACE THE PADS, WHAT TO DO. IT'LL WALK YOU THROUGH IT. THEY'VE DONE STUDIES THAT PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PUT PADS ON A FEMALE BECAUSE OF AN UNDERWIRE BRA, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF, WELL, WHAT'S THE CONDUCTIVITY OF THAT? AND SO THE TECHNOLOGY THEY'VE PUT IN THIS IS THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A PICTURE OF A FEMALE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SAY, HEY, IT'S OKAY TO PUT THIS ON HERE. SO THEY EVEN THEY'VE EVEN BROKE IT DOWN EVEN FURTHER TO TRY TO TAKE AWAY ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING PUTTING THE PADS ON THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO REALLY FOCUS ON. WHEN WE STARTED IN 2024, LOOKING AT OUR NUMBERS, YOU HAD ABOUT A 10% CHANCE OF SURVIVABILITY. IF YOU WERE HAD A CARDIAC ARREST IN MCKINNEY AND YOU WERE IN WHAT WE CONSIDER A SHOCKABLE RHYTHM, MEANING YOUR HEART STILL HAD ACTIVITY, BUT IT WASN'T BEATING IN AN ORGANIZED RHYTHM. YOU HAD ONE OUT OF TEN CHANCE TO SURVIVE. THAT NATIONAL AVERAGE WAS 30. SO TODAY, I'M PROUD TO STAND BEFORE YOU AND TELL YOU THAT WE'RE SITTING BETWEEN 40 AND 45%. WE'VE INCREASED THAT IN JUST OVER TWO YEARS, AND ALL WE DID WAS TRAIN OUR DISPATCHERS AND GOT POLICE INVOLVED. NOW WE CAN INCREASE THAT EVEN FURTHER AS WE GET THE CITIZENS INVOLVED. WE HAVE, AS CHIEF MENTIONED, I'VE GOT WELL OVER 100 PEOPLE SIGNED UP IN A QUEUE THAT ARE ANXIOUSLY WAITING TO GET ONE OF THESE. I JUST DON'T HAVE THEM. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING TO DO IT. BUT THIS RIGHT HERE, THIS IS WHAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE HOSTED OUR SECOND ANNUAL PHOENIX EVENT, AND A PHOENIX EVENT IS WHERE WE CALL ALL OF OUR CARDIAC ARREST SURVIVORS BACK. AND WE ALLOW THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES, THE DISPATCHERS, THE POLICE OFFICERS, THE FIREFIGHTERS TO GET TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM. AND THEY TELL THE STORY AND THEY'RE ABLE TO STAND UP AND MEET OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SAME EVENT. ONE OF THE COOL THINGS WE DO IS WE ISSUE THEM ALL A COIN, AND ON ONE SIDE OF THAT COIN IS A PHOENIX SIGNIFYING A REBIRTH OR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY AT LIFE. AND ON THE OTHER SIDE IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LOGO. BUT WE ETCH ON THERE. WE PUT THERE THE DATE OF THEIR EVENT AND THEIR INITIALS DOWN ON THE BOTTOM.

AND WE GIVE THAT COIN NOT ONLY TO THE SURVIVOR, BUT WE GIVE THAT COIN ALSO TO THE MEMBERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE MEMBERS OF DISPATCH AND THE POLICE OFFICERS SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND, HEY, I MADE A DIFFERENCE TODAY IN THIS MAN'S LIFE CHALLENGE. COINS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE OF US IN THIS FIELD MILITARY, FIRE, POLICE. AND SO WE COLLECT THOSE AND WE HANG ON TO THOSE AS A MEMENTO OF THINGS THAT WE WE CHERISH THAT WE FIND VERY POWERFUL. THIS ONE WAS RECENTLY HELD AT OUR NEW FIRE HEADQUARTERS. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE FIVE OF THE SIX FROM LAST YEAR. WE HELD ONE BACK IN JUNE WHERE WE RECOGNIZED SIX OTHERS. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE TAKING THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO TO CELEBRATE LIFE BECAUSE, AS ANDREW SHOWED, MCKINNEY IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE THAT ONE MORE BIRTHDAY, ONE MORE CHRISTMAS WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR LOVED ONES. SO WHAT DOES IT COST? WELL, TO RUN THIS PROGRAM FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS, WE'RE LOOKING AT JUST OVER $1.1 MILLION. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT ALLOWS ME TO PURCHASE 400 AEDS. IT ALLOWS FOR THE, THE, THE, THE COST TO PUT THEM ON OUR NETWORK AND TO MONITOR THEM. SO WE'VE, AS I SAID, WE'VE REACHED OUT TO NUMEROUS BUSINESSES. WE'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH SOME OTHER DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ON SOME

[00:30:07]

ANYBODY THAT JUST WANTS TO DONATE THIS GOES THROUGH OUR NONPROFIT AGENCY, WHICH IS THE CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, AND IT'S A NONPROFIT TAX, TAX TAX NONTAXABLE, YOU KNOW, TAXABLE RIGHT OFF FOR, FOR JUST SOME, SOME QUICK DONATIONS. SO WE'RE, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RAISE A FEW FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH, WITH THIS OPTION AS WELL. BUT ULTIMATELY WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT, HEY, IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. HERE WE GO TO MCKINNEY FIRE.ORG/HERO AND YOU'RE ABLE TO SIGN UP TO BE A NEIGHBORHOOD HERO. WHEN YOU SIGN UP, IT'S GOING TO ASK YOU SOME BASIC INFORMATION. CAN YOU LIFT 25 POUNDS? ARE YOU ABLE TO KNEEL DOWN? ARE YOU WILLING TO HELP AND ARE YOU TRAINED? AND IF YOU ARE, THEN MCKINNEY FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL REACH OUT TO YOU AND WE'LL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND WE'LL GIVE YOU AN AED. SO WITH THAT, I'LL JUST OPEN IT UP TO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS? YEP. I HAVE A THOUGHT. YES, MA'AM. HAS THE DEPARTMENT PURSUED ANY FEDERAL GRANTS FOR THIS? BECAUSE THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS THAT OFFER FUNDING SPECIFICALLY FOR FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND AEDS.

WE WE ATTEMPTED ONE WITH THE WAS IT USC WITH THE USC GRANT LAST YEAR? AND WE UNFORTUNATELY WEREN'T AWARDED THAT. OKAY. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WE HAVE. BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME OTHER ONES, I'M DEFINITELY OPEN TO GET WITH YOU AFTER. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. BEN, I'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU AFTER AS WELL AND JUST TAKE A VERY PERSONAL, ACTIVE ROLE IN HELPING RAISE THE MONEY. I HAVE SOME IDEAS AND SOME FANTASTIC SOME COMPANIES AND APPRECIATE THAT.

CAN WE GET THIS SLIDESHOW? ABSOLUTELY. YEP. YOU'RE WELCOME TO IT. I WOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH YOU AFTERWARDS AS WELL. I HAVE SOME IDEAS AND I THINK CERTAINLY A LOT OF PEOPLE UP HERE, MYSELF INCLUDED, HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL REACHES TO HELP GET THIS MESSAGE OUT AND WHATNOT. BUT MAYBE WE COULD THREE OF US COULD GET TOGETHER WITH YOU, CINDY, ORGANIZE THAT AND HAVE A MEETING SO WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING, BUT MAYBE MAKING SURE WE HAVE A SYNERGISTIC APPROACH. SOUNDS GREAT. I THINK WE CAN REALLY HELP. AND I KNOW I CAN WITH SOME OF THE, SOME OF MY BUSINESS FRIENDS AS WELL. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. THIS IS, I MEAN, VERY IMPACTFUL TO OUR COMMUNITY AND SITTING HERE LISTENING TO THE STATISTICS AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING, IT GAVE ME CHILL BUMPS THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. AND HOW CAN WE CREATE A COMMUNITY THAT WORKS TOGETHER TO BETTER THE SURVIVAL RATE OF SO MANY? REALLY KUDOS TO YOU GUYS TOO FOR PUTTING THIS PROGRAM TOGETHER. YOU HAD SAID THAT IT'S ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. IT'S MCKINNEY'S IS ACTUALLY OVER 50% OVER THE NATIONAL AVERAGE ON SURVIVAL RATE. NOW, BASED ON THE NUMBERS, I HAD THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE OF BEING AT THE AWARD CEREMONY AND SPOKE AND DID A LOT OF RESEARCH. SURVIVAL RATE IS 50% ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AND AS YOU SAID IT WAS, YOU HAD A 1 IN 10 CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. IT'S NOW 1 IN 2. AND PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, 1 IN 10, THERE'S ROUGHLY TEN OF US UP HERE. NOW, ONE OF US, YOU KNOW, WOULD SURVIVE. MORE THAN HALF OF US SURVIVED NOW, OR HALF OF US WOULD SURVIVE. WHAT AN AMAZING FEAT. SO AND THAT'S THOSE ARE THE EFFORTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PUT IN PLACE IN PROGRAMS. AND, AND YOU WENT INTO A LOT OF DETAIL, BUT THERE'S EVEN MORE OF WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE AND, AND REALLY

[00:35:01]

[26-0239 Informational Update on McKinney Affordable Housing Needs Assessment and Recommendations]

SO THERE THE AVERAGE MEDIAN INCOME IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER WITH 107,000. AND IF WE LOOK AT THE UNITS BY ZIP CODE AND HOUSEHOLDS OF FOUR AT 80% AMI, THE MAJORITY OF THESE HOUSEHOLDS CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE IN MCKINNEY. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF OUR KEY FINDINGS FROM THE ROUTE POLICY ASSESSMENT? THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN COST BURDEN HOUSEHOLDS BETWEEN 2015 TO 2023. I WOULD HIGHLIGHT THAT IN 2015, THE MAJORITY OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT WERE COST BURDENED WERE IN THE LOWER AMI LEVELS. SO 30 TO 50% AREA MEDIAN INCOME. WHEREAS IN 2023, WE'VE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN THE 60 TO 80% AMI. AND THEN IN TERMS OF HOUSING GAPS, WE'RE SEEING APPROXIMATELY 5000 UNITS ON THOSE LOWER ARMY UNITS THAT ARE NEEDED. AND SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO THERE'S ABOUT 5000 HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS LESS FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO SPEND ON EDUCATION OR HEALTH CARE. AND SO IT LOWERS THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE RENTAL GAPS CHART, YOU SEE THAT THERE IS ALSO A -3685 FOR HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE 120%. AMI, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF MARKET RATE UNITS. WHAT IT SHOWS IS THAT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS OR HOUSEHOLDS THAT HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD MARKET RENTS, BUT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH UNITS, THEY'RE ACTUALLY OCCUPYING LOWER INCOME RENTS OR LOWER INCOME UNITS. AND SO POTENTIALLY TAKING AWAY FROM THE UNITS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR LOWER AMI LEVELS. AND THEN IN TERMS OF HOME OWNERSHIP, ONLY 1% OF THE OWNERSHIP UNITS WERE ACCESSIBLE TO HOUSEHOLDS BETWEEN 81 TO 100%. AMI. SO LARGELY HOMEOWNERSHIP IS NOT ATTAINABLE FOR YOUR AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD. SO WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF INCOMES ACROSS DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES, RANGING FROM 31,000 FOR A HOUSEHOLD OR INDIVIDUAL WORKING IN FOOD SERVICES TO 308,000. AND THE OIL INDUSTRY. I'M IN THE WRONG INDUSTRY. MANY OF THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS. SO THOSE WORKING IN RETAIL, FOOD OR HEALTH SERVICES CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT IN

[00:40:04]

AND SO THERE IS STILL MORE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT THE CITY HAS DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB.

I AM SO PROUD TO BE WORKING FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE VERY PROACTIVE IN OUR APPROACH TOWARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND OUR CITY LEADERSHIP HAS IMPLEMENTED POLICIES TO REALLY IMPROVE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND EXPAND HOUSING OPTIONS. AND SO THIS IS JUST A LIST OF SOME OF THE MANY EFFORTS THAT WE'VE HAD. AND REALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROVIDED BY ROUTE POLICY, YOU SEE THAT MCKINNEY IS REALLY RECOGNIZED AS A REGIONAL LEADER IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING EFFORTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU COMPARE OURSELVES TO OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES. SO WHILE WE'VE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN ADDRESSING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE. ROUTE POLICIES RECOMMENDATIONS RANGE FROM DEVELOPING A FORMAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY TO BUILDING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS TO INCREASE HOUSING UNITS. AND SO THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY PROVIDED REALLY SPAN ACROSS THE AFFORDABILITY SPECTRUM. SO RANGING FROM BELOW 30% AMI TO ALL THE WAY UP TO 120%. AMI THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FOCUSED AROUND EXPANDING CAPACITY, STRENGTHENING CORE EFFORTS. SO OUR EXISTING EFFORTS AND PURSUING STRATEGIC EXPANSIONS. AND SO WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS? WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND WE HAVE VERY LIMITED RESOURCES. SO OUR NEXT STEPS IS TO FIRST DEVELOP THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY, WHICH WILL ESTABLISH A VISION, GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES. AND THEN FROM THERE, WE WILL CREATE AN IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK WHICH WILL INCLUDE A STRATEGIC PLAN, ANNUAL ACTION PLANS AND MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING ON TRACK. AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET A DRAFT TO COUNCIL BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AND SO I WANTED TO THANK THE BOARD FOR YOUR SUPPORT, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUMMIT. JUST AS A REMINDER, THE PURPOSE OF THIS SUMMIT IS REALLY TO GET KEY PLAYERS INTO THE SAME ROOM TO TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT MORE THAN JUST TALK ABOUT IT, TO COME TOGETHER AND FORM RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY CREATE ADDITIONAL UNITS. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. VERY INFORMATIVE. GEORGE, MAY I ASK? YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU. MARGARET, I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IS OF ALL THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES AROUND THE CITY, DID ROUTE DO ANY ASSESSMENT OF THE OCCUPANCY RATE BY COMPLEX? I DON'T THINK THAT THEY LOOKED AT THE OCCUPANCY RATES, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN TAKE A LOOK AT BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE TELLING. I MEAN, IF YOU COULD GET THE AVERAGE RATE PER COMPLEX AND THEN SEE WHAT PERCENTAGE RATE IS OCCUPIED OR NOT. AND I THINK THAT THAT WOULD GIVE A LANDSCAPE LIKE A HEAT MAP OF WHERE THE CHALLENGES ARE IN THE CITY. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS JUST TELLING ME THE OTHER DAY, SHE RUNS A COMPLEX AND SHE SAID, THERE ARE ABOUT 98% FILLED. BUT IN HER GROUP OF COLLEAGUES AROUND THE CITY, THERE WERE QUITE A FEW THAT WERE PRETTY BELOW THAT.

YOU KNOW, THEY WERE LIKE 65% FULL. AND IT JUST GOT ME THINKING, DO WE KNOW THAT DATA? OKAY. AND I WOULD LOVE TO GET WITH YOU ONLINE OR OFFLINE TO TALK ABOUT THAT, TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT, BECAUSE THERE ARE PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP

[26-0240 Informational Update on Population Projections from City of McKinney Planning Department]

EXISTING POPULATION AS OF JANUARY 1ST OF THIS YEAR WAS 237,000. THE PROJECTION FOR THE FULL PLANNING AREA FOR THAT TEN YEAR PERIOD IS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE REASON THAT WE'RE USING A TEN YEAR GROWTH PERIOD IS THAT THE THE INITIAL REASON THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WAS PUTTING TOGETHER THESE PROJECTIONS IS AN UPDATE TO THE, EXCUSE ME, THE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM. AND SO EVERY FIVE YEARS, ROUGHLY, THE CITY OF MCKINNEY UPDATES THE IMPACT FEE PROGRAM. AS PART OF THAT, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT IS THE NEXT TEN YEARS OF GROWTH GOING TO LOOK LIKE, WHAT IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME IN, AND THEN HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THOSE TEN YEARS OF GROWTH? AND SO WE STARTED WITH THAT FULL PLANNING AREA. THAT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS USED. BUT NOW WE ALSO HAVE SOME PROJECTIONS FOR THAT REDUCED WATER SERVICE AREA. SO THE EXISTING POPULATION FOR THAT REDUCED AREA IS 231,000. A LOT OF THE POPULATION OUTSIDE OF OUR REDUCED AREA ARE CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN HOOKED UP OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. TEN YEAR GROWTH, VERY SIMILAR THERE, 74,000. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A 2034 TOTAL OF AROUND 307,000 FOR THAT REDUCED SERVICE AREA. AND WE EXPECT THAT BUILDOUT OF THAT AREA. THE POPULATION WILL BE AROUND 367,000. METHODOLOGY. WE USE A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS TO TO MAKE OUR ASSUMPTIONS. WE HAVE THE GOMPERTZ MODEL, LOTS OF CALCULATIONS AND THINGS IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO LEAN ON HERE IS THE ACCURACY OF THAT DATA. AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE SKEWED VIEW HERE OF THE MODEL, BUT IGNORE ALL THE THE DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF THE DIFFERENT POPULATION PROJECTION MODELS ON THE LEFT SIDE. WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT IN THAT GROWTH CHART IS THE FACT THAT THE DARK BLUE LINE IS THE GOMPERTZ MODEL OF WHAT WOULD BE PROJECTED FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. AND THOSE PINK DATA POINTS ARE HOW WE'VE ACTUALLY GROWN. AND SO WE'RE PRETTY CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE GOMPERTZ MODEL AS WE'RE CONTINUING TO GROW AS A CITY. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU START OFF SLOW, YOU SPEED UP AND YOU END SLOW. AND SO WE'RE IN THAT KIND OF CLIMBING PORTION HERE. AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME NOW. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT AS WE'RE PROJECTING OUR POPULATIONS IS OUR PAST DATA. WE HAVE A REALLY HIGH CARRYING CAPACITY IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. OUR TEN YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN BETWEEN 6 AND 8000 NEW RESIDENTS ANNUALLY. AND THE FACT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SUSTAIN THAT EVERY YEAR FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. YOU CAN SEE YEARS WHERE WE GOT ABOVE 8000, A COUPLE YEARS WHERE WE GOT BELOW 6000. BUT AGAIN, REALLY HOLDING AROUND THAT 7000 NEW CITIZENS PER YEAR. LAST YEAR WE ADDED 13,000. SO IT WAS QUITE A HIGH YEAR. SO HERE'S WHERE WE'RE

[00:50:06]

ANOTHER 1200 IN TRINITY FALLS AND THEN IN REVIEW AND PROBABLY SOME OF THOSE. THIS WAS MADE IN DECEMBER. A LOT OF THOSE IN REVIEW WERE PROBABLY ALREADY APPROVED NOW. AND SO OF THAT 80,000 WE'VE ALREADY ADDED 36,000. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALMOST HALF OF WHAT WE EXPECTED TO REACH BY 2034. WE'RE ALREADY WE'VE ALREADY HIT THAT IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS. AND SO WE'RE REALLY GROWING AT A AT A FASTER PACE THAN WE'VE EXPECTED. THOSE ARE UNITS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR OUR BUILT OUT CITY LIMITS? WHAT WILL IT FEEL LIKE RIGHT NOW? OUR FULL PLANNING AREA, OUR POPULATION DENSITY IS AROUND 2000 PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE, BUT OUR EXISTING CITY LIMITS WERE AT 3200 PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE. WHILE OUR PROJECTED ESTIMATE PUTS US AROUND 4200 PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE. HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER CITIES IN THE AREA AND WHAT THEIR POPULATION DENSITY IS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE KIND OF RIGHT ON TRACK TO DEVELOP LIKE OUR SISTER CITIES HAVE. ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN JUST SEE THOSE FULL BUILD OUT POPULATION PROJECTIONS. IN 2019, WE EXPECTED IT TO BE 433 WHEN WE DID IT AGAIN IN 2024, THAT NUMBER JUMPED UP ABOUT 50,000. AND SO THAT POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO BE HIGHER THAN WE PROJECTED THE FIRST TIME. YOU CAN SEE THAT TREND AROUND DFW AS WE CONTINUE TO BE A POPULAR PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE. AND SO YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, THAT DIFFERENCE FROM THE 2029 PROJECTED POPULATION DONE DURING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN 2019 VERSUS OUR 2024 POPULATION AND KNOWN PROJECTS, WE'VE ALREADY EXCEEDED WHERE WE EXPECTED TO BE IN 2029 TODAY.

SO THIS IS WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW, RIGHT? WHEN ARE WE GOING TO REACH THAT BUILD OUT? WE DON'T KNOW, BUT WE CAN FIND SOME INSIGHTS ON ON WHAT WE EXPECT. THE LONG TERM VIEW IS THAT WE SEE AROUND 59,000 REMAINING BETWEEN NOW AND, EXCUSE ME, BETWEEN THAT BUILD OUT OR THE 2034 ESTIMATE AND BUILD OUT. AND SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? DO WE JUST TAKE OUR TEN YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE AND DIVIDE IT? NOT QUITE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK IS WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HIT THAT CRITICAL MASS THAT THAT SEES US TAPER OFF LIKE GARLAND AND PLANO, YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY HIT THAT POINT OF TAPERING OFF. AND WE THINK THAT A GOOD INDICATOR IS WHEN WE HAVE A YEAR OR A TEN YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE THAT'S BELOW 5000 NEW CITIZENS. AND SO FOR THE FULL PLANNING AREA, WE SEE THAT BEING POTENTIALLY IN 2044. BUT FOR THE REDUCED PLANNING AREA, WE'RE SEEING THAT AS SOON AS 2032. AND SO WE'VE GOT MAYBE 6 TO 8 YEARS OF THAT CONTINUED STEADY GROWTH FOR OUR PROJECTIONS BEFORE WE START TO SEE THAT TAPER OFF. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE BRINGING IN THAT BILLION DOLLARS PLUS OF NEW DEVELOPMENT EVERY YEAR. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ASSUMING ASSUMING LIMITED GROWTH WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY LIMITS, EVEN THOUGH THE STATE LAW HAS CHANGED THE PROCESS AND HOW WE DO THAT, THERE'S STILL LANDOWNERS THAT WANT TO DEVELOP.

THEY WANT TO BE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. THEY WANT TO TIE INTO OUR WATER AND SEWER SERVICES.

THAT WILL STILL HAPPEN JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN IT HAS IN THE PAST. AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE STATE LAWS ARE GOING TO COME AND CHANGE THAT PROCESS BETWEEN NOW AND THOSE FUTURE YEARS. SO I'LL JUST GO BACK AS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MCKINNEY, WE'RE CONTINUING TO GROW RAPIDLY NOW, BUT IN GENERAL, WE'RE ALL TRYING TO SET OUR SIGHTS ON WHAT DO WE DO TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR WHEN THAT CHANGES AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO THINK OF NOW TO BE READY WHEN THAT TIME COMES? THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. THANK YOU. LUCAS. ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE. COULD YOU GO BACK? I'M SORRY I DIDN'T CATCH THE SLIDE NUMBER. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AROUND SLIDE 12. IT WAS A BAR CHART. NOT THAT ONE, BUT THE BAR CHART. YES, THIS ONE HERE. SO I I'M LOOKING AT THIS AND I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED. IS THIS POPULATION OR UNITS. SO THIS IS POPULATION IN IN 2024 WE EXPECTED THAT BY

[00:55:06]

SO WE'VE GOT LET ME JUMP BACK HERE FOR SINGLE FAMILY. WE'RE USING BASICALLY DENSITY. AND THEN WE HAVE MULTIPLICATION FACTORS OF PERSONS PER UNIT AND SINGLE AND MULTI-FAMILY THAT WE USE TO END UP WITH THOSE SPECIFIC POPULATION NUMBERS. BUT THAT BLUE BAR IS THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BROKEN GROUND, EITHER MULTIFAMILY, SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANKS. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. NEXT IS PUBLIC COMMENTS. IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? JOHNNY B? MORNING, CHAIRMAN FULLER. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'M JOHN BUBBLES. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR COLLIN COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. PRIOR TO JOINING COLLIN COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, I WAS A MEMBER OF THE MEDIA HERE IN MCKINNEY FOR OVER 13 YEARS. IN THAT GREAT VIDEO THAT WE SAW ABOUT 30 YEARS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A LINE ADDED CALLED PROMISES KEPT. AND IN POLITICAL CASE, I'D LIKE TO COMMEND CDC BECAUSE I CAN LOOK FROM HERE AND SEE 809 GREEN STREET, WHICH WAS A HOUSE THAT WAS FALLING APART. YOU PROVIDED US THE FUNDING, AND THE HERNANDEZ FAMILY NOW CALLS THAT HOME. WE JUST COMPLETED FIVE HOUSES IN MCKINNEY, AND WE'RE GOING TO BREAK GROUND ON ANOTHER FIVE IN APRIL, WHICH MCDC HAS ALSO PROVIDED THE FUNDING FOR. SO, MARGARET, WE LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING YOU WITH THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. BUT I ALSO JUST WANTED TO TAKE TIME TO EVERY TIME I WALK IN THIS BUILDING, JUST REMEMBER BACK TO ABOUT 2009 WHEN A CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR NAMED GEORGE FULLER. I ATTENDED BURGERS IN THE PARK, WHICH WAS AN EVENT HE DID ON THE EAST SIDE, AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS VISION FOR EASTSIDE DEVELOPMENT AND A RESIDENT, SAID, MR. FULLER, WE'VE WE'VE HEARD ALL THIS BEFORE. WHY? WHY WOULD WHY WOULD WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ANY DIFFERENT? AND ANY TIME I WALK INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY HALL AND YOU LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE, I GO BACK TO PROMISES KEPT. AND CHAIRMAN FULLER DID THAT FOR THE CITY. I WAS PROUD TO WATCH THAT. AND I'M PROUD THAT HE'S SERVED AS MAYOR, NOW CHAIRMAN AND AND WANT TO AGAIN CONGRATULATE MCDC AND THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT PARTNERSHIP YOU PROVIDED US AND FOR PROMISES KEPT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. JOHNNY. WE HAD A GREAT COUNCIL THAT THAT TEAM THAT THAT REALLY BOUGHT INTO THAT VISION AND, AND MADE THAT HAPPEN AND CITY MANAGER THAT THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BUILDING HERE AS A CATALYST PROJECT. SO I WANT TO CREDIT ALL STAFF AND COUNCIL THAT THAT ALL BOUGHT IN. AND THEN THE BOARD AND MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD BEFORE ME THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY NEEDED SOME FUNDING, WE'RE THERE BECAUSE THEY ALSO BELIEVED IN THE VISION. WE ALL THOUGHT AND I HAVE SINCE HE SAID WAY BACK WHEN THAT IF WE IF WE PUT PUT SOME INVESTMENT IN JUST AS JUST AS MCDC DID BACK IN 2000 AND 607 AT THE IMPACT NOW TO BE THE COURTHOUSE THEATER THAT THAT WOULD CATALYZE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SQUARE. AND IT DID. AND WE ALL NOW KNOW HOW GREAT THAT SQUARE IS AND HOW VIBRANT IT IS. THE SAME BELIEF WAS ON THIS SIDE OF HIGHWAY FIVE, AND I THINK WE SEE THAT NOW HAPPENING, OF COURSE, HERE. AND AND TUBS.

AND AGAIN, WHAT MATT HAMILTON DID WITH LOCAL YOKEL AND ALL THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND THAT STARTING TO HAPPEN. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. CONSENT ITEMS 26 024 ONE MINUTES OF THE

[01:00:12]

[26-0243 Financial Report]

AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW WE'RE TRENDING YEAR TO DATE. BUT IT WAS A VERY STRONG MONTH FOR US GETTING US ABOVE THE 4%. WE ONLY HAVE FOUR MONTHS. YOU KNOW, YEAR TO DATE AVERAGES. A STRONG MONTH LIKE THIS WILL IMPACT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. BUT EVERY MONTH WE GET FURTHER INTO YEAR HELPS LOOK HOW WE'RE TRENDING ON BUDGET. LOOKING AT THE INDUSTRIES, YOU CAN SEE RETAIL TRADES STRONG AT 5%. EVERYTHING'S KIND OF BALANCED OUT NOW. I DID MENTION LAST MONTH IT TAKES A FEW MONTHS FOR YEAR TO DATE AVERAGES TO WORK THEIRSELF OUT, AND EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY STRONG AT THIS POINT. THE MAJOR CATEGORIES ARE HOLDING THEIR AVERAGES, AND BESIDES THAT BIGGER PICTURE BUDGET, WE HAD OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, AND SO WE'LL START WORKING WITH SYDNEY ON THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL. BESIDES THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? JUST ONE. SORRY. THE ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD SERVICE AT 9% GROWTH. DO WE KNOW IS THAT DO WE EXPECTING THAT TREND TO CONTINUE. LIKE IS IT NEW RESTAURANTS? AND I WOULDN'T SAY I MEAN WE HAVE A FEW NEW RESTAURANTS ONLINE. I DON'T KNOW IF I RIGHT NOW OUR PROJECTIONS ARE MORE THAN THE 7% RANGE RIGHT NOW TO END THE YEAR. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING, WHICH IS STILL REALLY STRONG. BUT OBVIOUSLY, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHOLE DOLLARS, IT'S A LOT LESS THAN RETAIL TRADE. BUT YEAH, SO WE ARE IT'S NOT AS MUCH NEW BUSINESSES THOUGH. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF THAT, BUT MOSTLY EXISTING BUSINESSES THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT. OKAY.

JUST THINK IT BEARS POINTING OUT THAT THE TWO LARGEST SECTIONS OF THESE BAR CHARTS, FOOD SERVICE AND RETAIL, AS MARGARET SHOWED, ARE THE TWO CATEGORIES WHERE PEOPLE WERE UNABLE TO AFFORD HOUSING IN MCKINNEY. SO THE BIGGEST, BIGGEST SOURCE OF OUR COMMERCE AND PEOPLE WORKING THERE ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. THAT'S A GREAT POINT ON THE ON THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE THE DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE OTHER CITIES AS FAR AS THEIR.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT ALLEN THAT IS JUMPING IT UP SO HEAVILY? SO COSTCO IS THE BIG THING THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THAT HAS HAPPENED RECENTLY, AND IT HAS IMPACTED US A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WE THOUGHT SO FAR. LUCKILY, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OUTSIDE OF THAT TO HOLD OUR AVERAGES, BUT THAT HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL. THERE'S BEEN TALKS ABOUT DATA CENTERS DOING THAT. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, DATA CENTERS DON'T REALLY CONTRIBUTE TO SALES TAX. BESIDES THE INITIAL INVESTMENT AND BUYING THE HARDWARE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. I BELIEVE MORE MAYBE A COMBINATION OF BOTH, BUT COSTCO HAS BEEN VERY STRONG FOR THEM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. BOARD AND LIAISON REPORTS START WITH MYSELF.

NUMBER OF EVENTS OVER THE LAST MONTH. TOP SILO RIBBON CUTTING FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE.

TOPS CAME TO US A WHILE BACK WITH A BUILD YOUR OWN BUSINESS INCUBATOR PROGRAM AS REPURPOSING OLD GRAIN SILOS WITH THE IDEA AND THE GOAL OF HELPING SMALL BRAND BUSINESSES GROW INTO FULL RETAIL LOCATIONS AND THE LOCATIONS THAT HAVE OPENED. I THINK TO DATE, ROLLING CIGARS, TOASTED SIMPLE SMALL BATCH COCKTAIL AND MOCKTAIL SIRUPS HAVE AN INTERACTIVE BUILD YOUR OWN OLD FASHIONED CONCEPT FIELDS OF FIDELIS VETERAN OWNED LAVENDER

[01:05:07]

HOTEL. UGLY METAL JEWELRY. I THINK THEY THEY NAMED THAT TO TO SOLICIT JUST INQUISITIVE MINDS. GOT TO GO IN THERE AND SEE WHAT IT IS, BUT IT'S HANDMADE STERLING SILVER AND TURQUOISE JEWELRY, STOCKYARD PANTRY CHEF CRAFTED GOODS INCLUDES COOKIES, INFUSED OILS, BODY CARE, AND EVEN DOG TREATS. I TAKE JOPLIN THERE, COMING RIGHT BEHIND IT LEILA'S COFFEE COMPANY ESPRESSO BAR ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY, AND THAT WILL BE OPEN SOON IF IT HASN'T ALREADY OPENED. NOT YET, BUT IT'S GOING TO OPEN SOON. SO WHAT A GREAT PROGRAM I THINK THAT WAS. AND AGAIN, HELPING SOME OF THESE NEW BUSINESSES AND SMALL BUSINESSES, VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES, YOU KNOW, HAVE A CHANCE TO START AND GROW INTO SOMETHING BIG AND ULTIMATELY BIGGER RETAIL LOCATIONS AND GREAT EXPERIENCE, GREAT USE OF THE OLD GRAIN SILOS. AND JUST PART OF THE AMBIANCE THERE. THE HABITAT COTTON GROVES TOWNHOMES WELCOME HOME EVENT. THERE WAS HUGS GALA. EVERYONE KNOWS HUGS. THEY, BY THE WAY, ARE STILL IN A A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN FOR THEIR NEW BUILDING. SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING ONE OF THE GREAT, GREAT CHARITIES OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT IS NOW NOT JUST IMPACTING MCKINNEY, BUT STARTING TO HAVE IMPACT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ACTUALLY ACROSS THE GLOBE, THEY'VE HAD INQUIRIES AND OTHER ENTITIES AND PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES WANTING TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR.

WE HAD A TKI TERMINAL TOUR AND THE DIRECTION 61 THREE BARBECUE AND BINGO. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMBERS WHO WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THESE EVENTS. AND IT'S JUST MORE EVIDENCE OF IMPACT THAT MCDC HAS IN THE COMMUNITY. NEXT IS CITY OF MCKINNEY THE GREAT, THE ONE, THE ONLY PAUL GRIMES. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO COME TO YOU GROVELING FOR MONEY. THANK YOU FOR THAT INTRODUCTION, MR. CHAIRMAN. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SORRY FOR MY MY VOICE. I'M FIGHTING OFF ONE OF THOSE VIRUSES THAT SEEMS TO BE GOING AROUND RIGHT NOW. SO I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. A COUPLE THINGS TO SHARE. I WANTED TO GIVE ANOTHER SHOUT OUT TO ANDREW, AND I KNOW HE DOESN'T EXPECT THIS, BUT AS YOU WERE ALL PROPERLY RECOGNIZING HIM FOR HIS GREAT WORK, IT DAWNED ON ME. IMAGINE. IMAGINE YOU ARE REPRESENTING A COUNTRY, YOU AS A CDC OR THE CITY COUNCIL, OBVIOUSLY, AND YOU NEED TO SEND SOMEBODY INTO A PLACE AS A DIPLOMAT. AND THAT DIPLOMAT HAS TO SORT OF EAT THE FOOD AND SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE VERY PEOPLE THAT HE'S WORKING WITH. AND HE HAS TO SERVE AS SORT OF AN INTERLOCUTOR FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHAT ANDREW REALLY DOES, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, FOR MAIN STREET, HE REALLY LIVES AND BREATHES WITH THE FOLKS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THE CULTURAL DISTRICT, AND HE DOES A FANTASTIC JOB OF REPRESENTING THEM. AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE DECISION OF HIS MOTHER COUNTRY, IF YOU WILL, MAY NOT ALWAYS BE POPULAR WITH THE FOLKS THAT HE IS EMBEDDED WITHIN AND REPRESENTING AS A DIPLOMAT, BUT HE HAS TO CARRY THAT MESSAGE. AND SO I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, ANDREW DOES A REALLY AMAZING JOB. AND AND WE'RE WELL SERVED. THE FOLKS ON MAIN STREET AND CULTURAL DISTRICT ARE VERY WELL SERVED WITH HIM AND HIS TEAM. IT'S NOT JUST HIM, OF COURSE. HE HAS A TERRIFIC TEAM. THEY ALL GET IT. THEY ALL UNDERSTAND IT AND THEY DO THE BEST THEY CAN. AND REPRESENTING SORT OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY WRIT LARGE. SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF SHARE THAT PERSPECTIVE. HE DOES A GREAT JOB. AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MARCH 17TH, WE, THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED A PARAMETERS ORDINANCE, WE CALL IT. THAT IS FOR DEBT ISSUANCE FOR THIS YEAR, OUR ANNUAL DEBT ISSUANCE, OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT IS $75 MILLION.

THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR OUR PARAMETERS THAT WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH, WHICH INCLUDES MONEY FOR STREETS AND SOME OTHER THINGS FIRE, PUBLIC SAFETY. AND THAT WAS APPROVED. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER DEBT ISSUANCE FOR WATER FOR OUR WATER UTILITIES.

AND THAT IS $25 MILLION. THAT'S REVENUE BONDS THAT WE'RE ISSUING FOR WATER FOR THIS NEXT YEAR. THE CITY COUNCIL ALSO APPROVED A CONTRACT FOR DEMOLITION OF THE OLD MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS, THE OLD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUILDING, AND WE CAN CALL IT OLD BECAUSE THEY'RE VACANT NOW AND THEY'RE COMING DOWN VERY SOON. THE CONTRACT IS 120 DAY CONTRACT. SO ONCE THE NOTICE TO PROCEED IS ISSUED, THEY WILL BEGIN DEMOLITION. THEY HAVE 120 DAYS TO DEMOLISH THE BUILDINGS AND RESTORE IT TO PRESCRIBED. I THINK THEY'RE JUST GOING TO DO A FLAT LAWN, IF YOU WILL, AND THAT WILL BEGIN IMMINENTLY. SO LOOK FOR THAT TO CHANGE IN LANDSCAPE, SO TO SPEAK. IT IS TEMPORARY, OF COURSE, BECAUSE AT OUR LAST WORK SESSION THIS WEEK,

[01:10:01]

LIKE THIS SITE RIGHT HERE. FOR YEARS AND YEARS THE MAYOR WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS WAS AN OLD, YOU KNOW, THE OLD ICE HOUSE AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER OLDER AG BUSINESS RELATED ACTIVITIES THAT WERE GOING ON HERE. AND SUDDENLY IT'S TOTALLY TRANSFORMED. AND IT DOES HAPPEN IN A BIGGER PICTURE. IT'S A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO ONE LAST THING IS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SPORTS PARK COMPLEX, IF YOU WILL, THE 230 PLUS ACRES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BLOOMDALE ROAD, EAST OF LAKE FOREST THAT WILL BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE FUTURE BYPASS.

IT'S A TERRIFIC LOCATION. WE HAVE WE OPENED UP, IF YOU WILL, THE PROPOSALS FROM SEVERAL. I THINK WE HAD 4 OR 5 PROPOSALS. WE INTERVIEWED THREE OF THEM, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE BRINGING A RECOMMENDATION ON OUR. AT OUR APRIL 7TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A PERIOD OF EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATIONS WITH ONE OF THE FIRMS. WE THOUGHT THAT THE SELECTION TEAM IDENTIFIED AS THE TOP PROSPECT. SO THAT WILL BE MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A THAT'S A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BRING IN A REGIONAL SPORTS FACILITY THAT WOULD DRAW IN NATIONWIDE TEAMS AND VARIOUS DIFFERENT SPORTS.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR PAUL? THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. VISIT MCKINNEY. AARON. EASY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. AARON WERNER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT VISIT MCKINNEY.

HAPPY TO BE HERE WITH YOU GUYS. I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION A STAPLE OF THE VISIT MCKINNEY HISTORY. BETH SHUMATE IS IN THE ROOM TODAY REPRESENTING HER NEW ROLE WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU HERE IN THAT NEW CAPACITY. ALSO, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, WE HAVE A RACE HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND. SO THIS WEEKEND, IF YOU LOOK THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN AND ACROSS PART OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU WILL SEE SOME ROAD CLOSURES AS WE HOST THE FIRST ANNUAL HISTORIC MCKINNEY HALF MARATHON. SO YOU HAVE A HALF MARATHON, A5K AND A KIDS FUN RUN. IT WILL START HERE AT CITY HALL AND END AT TOPS, SO IT SHOULD BE A GOOD TIME IN DOWNTOWN SOMEWHERE AROUND 5000 RUNNERS. ONCE YOU ADD IN FAMILY AND SPECTATORS, APPROXIMATELY 10,000 PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS WEEKEND WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH MAIN STREET FOR THAT RACE TO HELP PROMOTE THE FARMERS MARKET, WHICH I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE HELPED SUPPORT A LOT OVER THE YEARS. THEY ARE IMPACTED BY THE STREET CLOSURES, OBVIOUSLY, DURING THEIR TIME. AND SO WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM. THEY'RE EXTENDING THEIR HOURS TILL TWO, AND WE'RE ALSO DOING A PROMOTION WHERE RACERS CAN COME OVER WITH THEIR RACE BIBS AND GET A FREE FARMER'S MARKET BAG, AS WELL AS DOWNTOWN DOLLARS IF THEY SWING OVER TO THE FARMER'S MARKET. SO HOPEFULLY WE CREATE SOME COOL COLLABORATION THERE. MOVING INTO APRIL, WE HAVE THE INTERNATIONAL GIRLS CUP APRIL 1ST THROUGH THE FIFTH. WE'RE EXPECTING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 125 AND 150 TEAMS PLAYING THAT WEEK IN MCKINNEY, AT LEAST TEN OF THOSE BEING INTERNATIONAL. THIS IS YEAR TWO FOR THAT EVENT. SO EXCITING WAY TO SHOW OFF OUR COMMUNITY AND ALSO PUTS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HOTEL ROOMS. THAT WEEK. WE'RE FINALIZING PLANS FOR THE WORLD CUP. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ASK US A LOT RIGHT NOW. THERE'S A LOT OF HEIGHTENED EXPECTATIONS AROUND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE HERE IN NORTH TEXAS. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THAT WILL ACTUALLY TURN OUT TO BE IN THIS AREA, HOW MANY PEOPLE TO EXPECT, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WHILE THEY'RE HERE? AND THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH A WITH A JOINT GROUP OF PEOPLE HERE IN MCKINNEY TO CREATE HOW WE'RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE DURING THAT MONTH LONG CELEBRATION HERE IN NORTH TEXAS, I CAN SAY THAT TOPS IS GOING TO SERVE AS OUR KIND OF OUR COMMUNITY WATCH PARTY LOCATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MONTH. I JUST GOT AN EMAIL THIS WEEK THAT KEITH HAS INSTALLED SEVEN NEW 75 INCH TVS IN ADDITION TO WHAT HE ALREADY HAD OVER THERE.

[01:15:07]

TWO LAST THINGS FOR YOU GUYS. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE NEW GM OF THE AC MARRIOTT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. HE IS. HE HAS MOVED TO MCKINNEY FROM KENTUCKY, WHERE HE WAS A GM OF A DIFFERENT HOTEL. BUT THAT'S EXCITING. THAT'S THAT'S MOVING FORWARD FAIRLY QUICKLY.

AND THEY EXPECT TO OPEN SOMEWHERE IN JULY, AUGUST TIME FRAME. SO AN INCREDIBLE PROPERTY FOR US TO ADD HERE IN THE CITY. AND THE LAST THING WE'RE HOSTING OUR SECOND HOTELIER MEETING, THIS IS FOR GM'S DIRECTOR OF SALES. ANYONE IN HOTEL STAFF TO COME MEET WITH US NEXT TUESDAY AT FITZHUGH. HERE AT CITY HALL WE HAVE OVER 35 RSVP TODAY ALREADY FOR THAT EVENT. THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE STARTED TO BRING OUR HOTEL COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO COLLABORATE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY. HOW CAN WE BE BETTER? HOW CAN WE? HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HOSTING PEOPLE IN A WAY THAT WE'RE ALL PROUD OF? AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE EVERYBODY THERE AND WORK ON THAT. WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS? ALWAYS A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, THE GREAT MICHAEL MAKOWSKI. MR. CHAIRMAN, BOARD MEMBERS. MADAM PRESIDENT, THREE QUICK UPDATES HERE. SO AS MR. GRIMES MENTIONED, THE DOWNTOWN ACTIVITY IS REALLY RAMPING UP AND DUE IN LARGE PART TO ANDREW. OF COURSE, OFFICE USERS WANT TO BE IN DOWNTOWN CLASS-A OFFICE. SO WE ARE PROUD TO KIND OF HELP IN THAT PROCESS. WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF INTEREST WITH THAT, SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT ANDREW AND THE WHOLE TEAM ARE INCLUDED IN THAT PROCESS. OF COURSE, SOMETHING ELSE I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO. SO GLOBE LIFE, THEY DECIDED TO STAY IN MCKINNEY, RIGHT. AND GROW. THAT'S SLIDE NUMBER 2 OR 3 IN MY PRESENTATIONS, BECAUSE THAT'S A COMPANY THAT CAN GO ANYWHERE TO LOCATE. THEY CHOSE TO STAY. MCKINNEY. WE HAVE ANOTHER EXAMPLE LAST THIS PAST TUESDAY AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE MEETING, THEY SPOKE ABOUT EXPANDING THE CURRENT OLD FORD DEALERSHIP ON VIRGINIA AND CHESTNUT. IT'S KIND OF A ONE STORY BUILDING WITH A PARKING LOT NEXT TO IT, AND KIMLEY-HORN IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE SPACE WHEN IT'S REDONE. SO KIMLEY-HORN IS GOING TO STAY IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY, EXPAND THEIR FOOTPRINT, AND PLANT DEEPER ROOTS. HERE AGAIN, KIMLEY-HORN AND THEIR TEAM, WHICH ARE CURRENTLY IN DAVIS ON THE SQUARE BUILDING, CAN GO ANYWHERE. CHOOSING TO STAY. MCKINNEY. SO ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IN DOWNTOWN. AND THE LAST POINT I'LL SHARE IS CANNON BEACH IS OFFICIALLY DIGGING OUT THEIR LAGOON. AS OF YESTERDAY, I HAD TO PULL OVER. I WAS ON 121. I SAW MACHINERY OUT THERE DIGGING. I PULLED OVER, TOOK A PICTURE AND YEAH, IT'S HAPPENING, SO IT'S COMING TOGETHER. SO WE SHOULD ALL BE VERY PROUD OF THAT. AND I LOOK FORWARD IN MAY TO SHARING MORE ON THAT STORY AND OUR PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS. FANTASTIC.

CHAIRMAN. I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. MIKE. WHAT A GREAT JOB. ALWAYS. THANKS SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. MCKINNEY. MAIN STREET AGAIN. AGAIN, JUST WE JUST SAW YOU. YEAH, I'M BLUSHING UP HERE. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT COMMENTS, EVERYONE. ANDREW JONES, CULTURAL DISTRICT DIRECTOR GOOD MORNING, CDC BOARD. WE'RE LAUNCHING A NEW WEBSITE WE'RE WORKING WITH VISIT MCKINNEY TO BE HOUSED ON THEIR PLATFORM, WHICH IS GREAT. IT GIVES US A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, ORIENTING EVERYBODY'S, YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE THAT GO TO THAT WEBSITE, THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT VISITING DOWNTOWN. SO THERE'S A LOT OF SYNERGIES THERE. AND WE'RE THEY'VE BEEN A GREAT PARTNER WITH THAT. WE'RE WORKING ON A DOWNTOWN FIRE SUPPRESSION PROGRAM. THIS IS A MASSIVE LIFT FOR BOTH DOWNTOWN, THE TEAM TOURS, CITY COUNCIL. THERE'S A LOT OF MOVEMENT BEHIND THIS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. WE GOT TO GET DATA. WE GOT TO GET INFORMATION ON WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF FIRE SUPPRESSION IN DOWNTOWN AND GET AS BUILT BASICALLY FOR EVERY SINGLE BLOCK AROUND DOWNTOWN SO THAT WE CAN DESIGN FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS THAT WILL HAVE CO-LOCATED RISER ROOMS. SO THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE TECHNICAL, BUT IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RISER ROOM. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR THAT IN THE DOWNTOWN URBAN KIND OF ENVIRONMENT. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST STEP IN WHAT WILL BE A VERY LONG PROCESS, BUT WITH THE GOAL OF PROTECTING THAT ASSET, PROTECTING THE THE ASSETS OF OUR HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN WATER TOWER, RESTORATION HAS JUST BEGUN AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION FOR THAT PROJECT. THE YARN BOMBING, AS YOU SAID, IS GOING UP. THIS IS ALSO I LOVE WHEN THE YARN GOES ON THE TREES AND IT'S JUST A REALLY QUIRKY THING, BUT IT REALLY FOR US SYMBOLIZES SPRING AND THEN IT GETS US READY FOR ARTS AND BLOOM. SO ARTS AND BLOOM IS HAPPENING APRIL 10TH THROUGH 12TH. AND WE, I'LL SKIP OVER THE HISTORIC HALF BECAUSE AARON KIND OF GAVE A GREAT

[01:20:03]

IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE, I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMPLETED, BUT WE'RE NOW WORKING ON THE ELECTRIC PARK, SO WE ARE THE ELECTRIC SIDE SO WE CAN GET THE LIGHTINGS AND ALL THOSE FEATURES INSTALLED. SO THAT IS SLATED TO BE COMPLETED SOMETIME IN JULY. THE APEX ELEVATOR IS BEING ELEVATED. REALLY CHEESY. BUT ANYWAY, SO THAT SHOULD BE MOVING FORWARD.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE THAT GETTING PUSHED UP. I KNOW THAT AARON TALKED ABOUT INTERNATIONAL GIRLS CUP. WE JUST APPRECIATE VISIT MCKINNEY AND ALL THEIR SUPPORT IN WHAT WE'RE DOING IN PROMOTING THE COMPLEXES THAT WE HAVE. I WANTED TO EXTEND AN OFFER TO

[01:25:04]

IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT TIME. THE EXPO IS HAPPENING THIS SUNDAY AT APEX CENTER. THAT'S ALWAYS A POPULAR WITH ALL AGE RANGES. AND THEN JUST I CAN'T I CAN'T GET AHEAD OF THIS ENOUGH, BUT MEMORIAL DAY EVENT IS ALWAYS ON THE SATURDAY. BUT WITH THAT BEING BYRON NELSON THAT WEEKEND, THAT EVENT WILL BE TAKING PLACE ON MONDAY, MAY 25TH. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND I'LL KEEP REMINDING YOU IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT HAS MOVED TO MONDAY. AND WITH THAT, I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. YOU MIGHT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR AMY? AMY, ISN'T THE SOMEBODY DOING THE MARATHON THIS WEEKEND? I'M GOING TO TRY. ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT? I'M WALKING IT.

THERE'S A GOOD CREW FROM THE CITY THAT WE HAVE TEAM SHIRTS AND STUFF. SO SUPER EXCITED. A LOT OF THE. THE ROUTE IS ACTUALLY ON THE TRAILS. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ON THE TRAILS. YEAH. PAUL DOING IT. YOU'RE A RUNNER WALKING RIGHT? THE MARATHON. YOU'RE A RUNNER. I'M HELPING. YEAH I CARE ABOUT THAT. HE'LL BE OUT.

MICHAEL. NICE. WELL I KNOW MICHAEL IS. AND RICK FOR SURE IT'S GOING TO BE DOING IT. ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE AUDIENCE, OUR LIAISONS MICHAEL JONES AND RICK FRANKLIN, WHO ARE THE GREAT THE GREAT RICK AND MICHAEL, WHO REALLY HAVE BEEN WHEN I GOT TO SERVE WITH THEM. SO, SO ACTIVE AND PRO DEVELOPMENT, GOOD DEVELOPMENT HERE IN MCKINNEY AND, AND COUNCIL IS BLESSED TO HAVE THEM.

[26-0245 President’s Report]

AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I WANTED TO START OUT BY RECOGNIZING LINDA AND AJ FOR THE TERRIFIC JOB THAT WAS DONE ON OUR INAUGURAL WORKSHOP FOR PROMOTIONAL GRANT RECIPIENTS.

IT WAS HELD MARCH 5TH. AND AS YOU RECALL, CONVERSATIONS STARTED IN 25 FY 25 WITH OUR MARKETING SUBCOMMITTEE, AJ, JOY AND MARCUS, ABOUT WOULDN'T IT BE A GREAT THING IF WE COULD PUT TOGETHER A WORKSHOP TO HELP OUR PROMOTIONAL GRANT RECIPIENTS REFINE AND ELEVATE THEIR MARKETING AND PROMOTION OF NOT ONLY THEIR EVENT, BUT ALSO SHOWCASING MCKINNEY AND THE IMPACT OF CDC. SO THAT FIRST EVENT WAS HELD MARCH 5TH. THERE IS A SAMPLE OF THE TOOLKIT THAT WAS PROVIDED AT EACH PERSON'S PLACE, AND THE GOAL WAS TO COVER PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, PREFERRED PRICING, PARTNERS. THANKS TO AJ S SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PROMOTIONAL GRANT RECIPIENTS AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE IN TERMS OF IN TERMS OF GRANT COMPLIANCE AND JUST WORK TO ENHANCE STORYTELLING. WE HAD SEVERAL SESSIONS THAT WILL CONTINUE.

THERE WERE 16 NON-PROFITS WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AND 13 WERE REPRESENTED, TOTAL OF 18 PEOPLE THERE. SO GOOD TURNOUT. LINDA HAS PUT TOGETHER A SURVEY AND IS COLLECTING FEEDBACK. WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ABOUT HALF OF THEM SO FAR. FEEDBACK HAS BEEN REALLY STRONG AND VERY POSITIVE, AND THEY'VE OFFERED GREAT IDEAS FOR WAYS TO ENHANCE THE THE WORKSHOP IN THE FUTURE.
