DISCUSS ACT ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 2026 ANNUAL BUDGET TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF A CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND PROJECT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT WITH THE PARKS CHURCH FOR A VACANT, UNDERUTILIZED PROJECT AT 129 TO 131 SOUTH TENNESSEE STREET. GOOD EVENING, CHAIR TOURS BOARD. APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE THIS EVENING. LUCAS REILLY, THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND HERE TO PRESENT ALL THE ITEMS THIS EVENING. I KNOW THAT USUALLY KASEY PRESENTS OUR ITEMS FOR TOURS MEETINGS, BUT THEY ARE OUT OF TOWN. AND SO I'M HERE. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THIS EVENING IS A CONSIDER, DISCUSS AND ACT ON WHICH ORDINANCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT. EXCUSE ME, WHICH ORDINANCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL ADOPT TO FUND A PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED ON MAY 5TH. SO ON MAY 5TH, TOURS APPROVED 453,430, EXCUSE ME, 453 $439.57 FOR PARKS, CHURCH FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION. THE REASON THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR YOU THIS EVENING IS BECAUSE, AS MENTIONED ON MAY 5TH, THIS EXCEEDS OUR CURRENT GUIDELINES. AND SO IT WAS A MERITORIOUS EXCEPTION IN EXCESS OF OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION AND POLICY GUIDELINES. SO WITH THAT, THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR HOW TO FUND THIS PROJECT. THE FIRST IS FOLLOWING PAST PRECEDENT, WHICH IS ANYTIME A PROJECT EXCEEDS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED THAT YEAR FOR VACANT, UNDERUTILIZED PROJECTS, WE HAVE ADOPTED A BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT TAKES THAT FULL PROJECT AMOUNT OUT OF THE FUND BALANCE. THE SECOND OPTION FOR THIS IS TO REDUCE 
          [00:05:08]
THE FUND BALANCE BY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT'S LEFT IN THE VACANT UNDERUTILIZED PROJECT BUCKET AND WHAT'S IN THE UNALLOCATED TERS BALANCE. SO YOU SEE BEFORE YOU AGAIN, THAT FULL PROJECT AMOUNT. WE CAN TAKE THAT OUT OF THE BALANCE THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT, WHICH WOULD RETAIN THE $279,000 THAT'S LEFT OVER CURRENTLY IN OUR VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED CATEGORY. OR WE CAN DEPLETE THAT VACANT UNDERUTILIZED PROJECT CATEGORY FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR AND THEN FUND THE REMAINING BALANCE FOR WHAT THE BODY CHOSE TO FUND THE PARKS CHURCH AT FROM THAT GENERAL FUND. IN THAT CASE, OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY MORE APPLICATIONS FOR THAT VACANT, UNDERUTILIZED CATEGORY UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST, STARTING THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. SO HERE WE ARE TO PRESENT THESE TWO OPTIONS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A MOTION ON WHICH ORDINANCE YOU'D LIKE US TO BRING TO COUNCIL FOR THAT BUDGET AMENDMENT ON THE 16TH. LUCAS, YOU THE LAST SENTENCE YOU HAD THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND NOT TAKING ANY APPLICATIONS FOR PROJECTS UNTIL OCTOBER OF 27 OF 2020 626. YES. THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD START THE 27 CALENDAR. SO THAT'S BUDGET WAS FOUR MONTHS. FIVE MONTHS. THAT'S CORRECT. SO WHAT'S IN IT? WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE WE WHAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF, OF SOMEONE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO SAY, I'M SORRY, YOU'LL NEED TO WAIT FIVE MONTHS. 
          SO SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN FUNDED TO DATE INCLUDE A PARKS CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. THERE ARE OFFICE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. THEY RECEIVE FUNDS FOR CRITICAL MAINTENANCE. THE ROOF, SOME POINTING THAT THEY DID ON MORTAR FOR THAT BUILDING UNION BEAR WAS FUNDED IN AN EXCESS AMOUNT THAT THAT WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN OUT. AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE OTHER PROJECTS. IT'S ALL THOSE VACANT UNDERUTILIZED CATEGORIES. ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION WAS THE CATEGORY HERE, FIRE SUPPRESSION, ALL OF THOSE CATEGORIES THAT FALL UNDER THE PROJECT GUIDELINES. THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT WHEN THEY CAME IN, WE COULD STILL TAKE THE APPLICATION. WE WOULD JUST LET THEM KNOW, HEY, BECAUSE THAT FUND BALANCE IS EMPTY, WE WON'T PROCESS THIS. WE WOULDN'T TAKE THIS FORWARD UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST, STARTING THAT NEW BALANCE YEAR. IF YOU CHOSE TO FOLLOW PAST PRECEDENT AND FUND THIS FULL PROJECT OUT OF THE FUND BALANCE, THEN WE WOULD TECHNICALLY STILL HAVE 280,000 IN THE VACANT UNDERUTILIZED CATEGORY. BUT IT'S REALLY A POLICY DECISION GIVEN ALL OF THE OTHER COMPETING INTERESTS FOR TERRORIST FUNDS, HOW THE TOURIST BOARD AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO FUND THIS ITEM. AND THAT BASICALLY HOW THAT POSITIONS THE TOURS FOR THE REST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. YEAH. OKAY. I'M ASSUMING WE DON'T HAVE ANY PENDING APPLICATIONS FOR VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED RIGHT NOW. WE DO NOT. OKAY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE RECOMMENDING. THERE IS NO RECOMMENDATION HERE. I KNOW WE WE TYPICALLY TRY AND BRING RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS CASE LONG ENOUGH TO, TO POLICY DECISION. STICK YOUR NECK OUT THERE. YOU'RE NOT THE NEW GUY ANY LONGER. YES. I WOULD TEND TO LEAN TOWARD LEAVING THE 279 REALLY IN THE I'D HATE TO BE FOUR MONTHS WITHOUT SOMETHING IN THE TOURS, AND WE CAN STILL. WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE ANYTHING. I MEAN, WE STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISAPPROVE THINGS COMING IN. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. ANY FUTURE APPLICATIONS WOULD COME THROUGH THIS SAME PROCESS THAT PARKS CHURCH DID. WE WOULD WE WOULD REVIEW THAT ITEM WITH THOSE POLICY GUIDELINES IN MIND AND COME FORWARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT ALIGNS WITH THOSE GUIDELINES FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER. DO YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF HOW MANY APPLICANTS WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST YEAR, LIKE SO FAR FOR THIS, FOR THE VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED PROJECTS? LET ME PULL UP SPREADSHEET, OR AT LEAST THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS LAST TIME. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE A NUMERICAL NUMBER OF REQUESTS AS A TOTAL. WHAT I DO HAVE IS AMOUNTS OF EXPENDITURES FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS IN VACANT UNDERUTILIZED. IN 2024, IT WAS JUST OVER 600,020 25. IT WAS JUST UNDER 400,000. AND THEN TO DATE, TOURS HAS AWARDED JUST OVER A MILLION IN THAT CATEGORY. SO 2024 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE EXCEEDED THE 400,000 TOTAL ALLOCATION. AGAIN, I THINK THAT ALLOCATION ACTUALLY INCREASED NOT TOO LONG BEFORE THAT 2025. 
          WE WERE JUST UNDER THE $400,000 ALLOCATION. AND THEN THIS YEAR WE'RE SITTING AT BETWEEN 1 AND 
          [00:10:07]
1.2 MILLION IN ALLOCATED FUNDS THAT ARE PROJECTS THAT FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY. AND THEN THE ACCOUNTING GETS A LITTLE BIT MORE FUZZY WHENEVER WE TAKE A FULL PROJECT AND WE SET IT ASIDE, EVEN THOUGH IT FELL UNDER THAT CATEGORY. A BUDGET AMENDMENT THEN PULLS THE FUNDS FOR THAT PROJECT OUT OF THE BALANCE, LEAVING THAT CATEGORY WITH SOME FUNDS. THAT'S WHY AFTER UNION BEAR WAS FUNDED, THAT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FIRST TOURS MEETING OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, THAT COULD HAVE TAKEN THE FULL ALLOCATION. IN THEORY, A POLICY DECISION COULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO TO CEASE APPLICATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS DONE. 
          AND SO NOW WE'RE GIVING THAT OPTION JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL AWARE OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS. AND WHAT'S THE TYPICAL TIMELINE ONCE AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED OR ONCE THE DISCUSSION HAS STARTED, EVEN IF AN APPLICATION HASN'T BEEN SUBMITTED, BUT HOW LONG DOES IT NORMALLY TAKE TO GET THROUGH SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION AND THEN BRINGING IT TO TOURS FOR CONSIDERATION? I WOULD HAVE TO GET WITH CASSIE TO GET THE TRUE EMPIRICAL DATA. BUT ANECDOTALLY, BASED OFF OF CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST YEAR, AS NARROW AS 45 DAYS, IT COULD TAKE AS LONG AS 90. THE THE BIGGEST INDICATOR OF HOW QUICKLY YOU CAN COME THROUGH IS HOW MANY OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE REQUIRE TO TAKE YOU FORWARD. 
          HAVE YOU PROVIDED WITH YOUR INITIAL SUBMISSION? SO A LOT OF TIMES THESE CONVERSATIONS START WITH JUST THAT. SOMEONE COMES IN, THEY SAY, HEY, I'M JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS OR I'M INTERESTED IN THIS, WHAT DO I NEED? WE WOULD PROVIDE A LIST OF EVERYTHING WE'D NEED, AND THEN THEY WOULD OFFICIALLY SUBMIT. AND THEN SOMETIMES THERE CAN BE SOME BACK AND FORTH. HEY, WE TYPICALLY LIKE TO HAVE THREE COST ESTIMATES. OH WELL, I ALREADY FINISHED THE PROJECT. I ONLY HAVE MY RECEIPTS. AND SO THERE CAN BE SOME BACK AND FORTH THERE. BUT REALLY IT'S, IT'S JUST GETTING ALL OF THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TOGETHER. ONCE WE HAVE THOSE, THEN WE REACH OUT TO CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AND SCHEDULE THIS MEETING BECAUSE IT'S NOT HELD REGULARLY. AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HERE, LUCAS, IS THERE'S A POINT HERE, WHICH IS THAT THERE ARE NONE THAT ARE WALKING HAND IN HAND WITH US RIGHT NOW SAYING, I'M GETTING THE THREE ESTIMATES, I'M GETTING THIS AND THAT. SO ANY ANYTHING THAT WE GET BETWEEN NOW AND OCTOBER IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE ANOTHER, HEY, FORGIVE ME FOR NOT GOING ALONG WITH YOU, BUT I'M GOING TO REQUEST A MERITORIOUS EXCEPTION, I.E. UNION BEAR AND PARKS. AND THERE'S BEEN PRECEDENT SHOWING THAT THIS BOARD HAS AN APPETITE TO DO THOSE. SO, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING COMING BEFORE OCTOBER IF THEY'RE COMPLYING BY OUR RULES. BUT THEY'RE DOING IT PRETTY QUICKLY IF THEY WANTED TO. YEAH. WE'RE SHOWING AN APPETITE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO COMPLY WITH OUR RULES. SO ONE OUT OF TEN. YEAH. JUST AS AN ACCOUNTING QUESTION. ON THIS RETAINED BALANCE OF 279 COME OCTOBER 1ST, DO WE STILL FUND THAT. WE FUND THAT BALANCE AGAIN OR DOES THAT OR IS THAT JUST WE MAINTAIN IT AT A CERTAIN LEVEL? SO RIGHT NOW WE FUND THAT AT 400 EACH YEAR. SO WE GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND WE HAVE A BALANCE. I THINK IN YEARS PAST, IF WE HAD A BALANCE, WE ONLY FUNDED IT AT 200, AND WE WOULD WE WOULD FUND ANY REMAINING BALANCE UP TO 200 MORE TO GET TO A TOTAL OF 400. 
          BUT MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY THAT WE'VE ADOPTED THE BUDGET THE LAST FEW YEARS IS WE JUST GO AHEAD AND BUDGET A FULL 400 NUMBER, AND THAT'S OUR CURRENT CAP. OKAY. SO I'M A LITTLE BIT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF RICK. I THINK I WOULD RATHER SEE THIS COME FROM THE VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED PROJECTS AND JUST HAVE US PUT A HOLD ON ANY ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS. I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE ANYWAY, IF SOMEONE SUBMITTED TODAY AND THEY MAY HAVE TO WAIT 2 OR 3 MONTHS, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S UNREASONABLE. BUT THAT'S JUST MY POSITION. ARE THE ODDS SLIM THAT SOMEONE SAID, I'M APPLYING AND I NEED THE FUNDS 60 DAYS, 90 DAYS OR SOMETHING REALLY BAD'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THAT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT I ANSWER, ON WHAT EMAIL OR CALL I'LL GET TOMORROW, RIGHT. SO I WOULD SAY THAT THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS IS IF WE'RE LOOKING AT JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, FOUR MONTHS LEFT IN THIS FISCAL YEAR. THE OTHER PIECE OF IT IS WE WE BRING ANOTHER PROJECT FORWARD. WE GET THAT APPROVED. WE TAKE THAT TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL OR SAY IT NEEDS A BUDGET AMENDMENT LIKE THIS DOES. THEN AFTER THE FACT, WE STILL HAVE TO GET FINANCE, APPROVE A THREE OR. EXCUSE ME, WHATEVER THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IS THAT WE'RE FINANCING, AND FUNDS STILL MIGHT TAKE ANOTHER 30 TO 60 DAYS TO ACTUALLY BE REMITTED AFTER THAT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS ON THE TABLE. 
          [00:15:03]
THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD THE POLICY QUESTION. FIRST. THE IMPLICATIONS WOULD BE VARYING DEPENDING ON WHO'S OUT THERE WAITING IN THE WINGS WITH A PROJECT AND WANTS TO COME FORWARD. BUT LUCAS, YOU SAID IN OCTOBER IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY FUND 400,000 MORE IF IF THE BUDGET IS APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL WITH THAT ALLOTMENT IN IT, AS HAS BEEN PRECEDENT THE LAST FEW YEARS. YES. SO WE'D END UP WITH 690 IN THE FUND. RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST BUDGETING 400 EACH YEAR. PREVIOUSLY, IF THERE WAS AN EXCESS UP TO 200, WE WOULD ROLL THAT IN. BUT THAT WAS WHEN THERE WAS ONLY 200 BEING ALLOCATED. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT FISCAL YEAR THAT WE DO THAT TO JUST BE THE 400 MAX, BUT I KNOW AT LEAST THIS PAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR, THERE'S JUST BEEN A FLAT 400. AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO FOR EASE OF ACCOUNTING PURPOSES AND FOR OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT COMING OUT OF THAT FUND EACH YEAR. OKAY. YOU MADE THE MOTION. THANK YOU. MAKE A MOTION. YOU GO AHEAD. I HAVE A MOTION. WE'RE WORKING ON ONE. OKAY. ONE. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE GO AHEAD AND PULL THIS FROM THE VACANT UNUTILIZED PROJECTS. OKAY. SECOND, I HAVE A HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS. A SECOND BY MAYOR COX. WOULD YOU RESTATE THE MOTION, PLEASE? THE MOTION. 
          IT'S THE FULL AMOUNT. THE MOTION IS TO RETAIN THE BALANCE OF THE 279 IN THE BUDGET FOR PROJECTS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF FISCAL YEAR 2526 THANK YOU. SO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE AYE. ANY NAY NAY ONE NAY. THAT MOTION PASSES. NEXT ITEM IS THANK YOU LUCAS. THANK YOU. 
          [26-0499 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request for TIRZ #1 Funding for a Downtown Parking Management Pilot]
LUCAS. 26-0499. CONSIDER ACT ON A REQUEST FOR TOURS ONE FUNDING FOR DOWNTOWN PARKING MANAGEMENT PILOT. ALL RIGHT, SO NOW THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE INTRICACIES OF TOURS FUNDING, I'M HERE BEFORE YOU ONCE AGAIN WITH A FUNDING REQUEST. AND SO THIS IS AN ITEM THAT WAS PREVIEWED AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION, AND WE'RE BRINGING IT BEFORE THE BOARD THIS EVENING FOR A FUNDING REQUEST. AND SO THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR PRESENTATION TO THE WORK SESSION. SO I APOLOGIZE IF YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE, BUT FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T, I WANTED TO PROVIDE THE FULL CONTEXT BEFORE ASKING FOR YOUR FUNDING DECISION. SO JUST A QUICK AGENDA. WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER BACKGROUND, THE SOLUTION METHODOLOGY, A PREVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PILOT. TALK ABOUT OUR PROPOSED PARTNER, AND THEN DISCUSS THE FUNDING REQUEST AND GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. ONCE AGAIN, THE BACKGROUND OF WHY WE'RE HERE. OBVIOUSLY, FOR THOSE THAT WERE A PART OF OUR WORK SESSION EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, THERE IS A CONCERN ABOUT DOWNTOWN PARKING IN MCKINNEY. AVAILABILITY, LOCATION, NUMBER OF SPACES AVAILABLE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. AND SO TRADITIONALLY, THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS DONE A IN PERSON COUNT AROUND THE DOWNTOWN EVERY FIVE YEARS. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DUE IN 2024. BUT IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS NEW MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, BRINGING A LOT OF THE PARKING DEMAND ACROSS THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY FIVE, WE HELD OFF ON THAT. THERE WERE SOME 2021 MCKINNEY PARKING ACTION PLAN HAD SOME PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH LED TO AN UPDATE OF THE STATE OF DOWNTOWN PARKING IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, IN WHICH WE WERE DIRECTED TO THINK THROUGH SOME OPTIONS FOR HOW WE CAN UTILIZE THE AVAILABLE PARKING WE HAVE NOW IN DOWNTOWN AND HELP PATRONS FIND THOSE PARKING SPACES. SO WHAT WE HAVE, AGAIN, REITERATING THE PROBLEM THAT WE SEE FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE WHEN WE GO OUT AND COUNT SPACES, IS THE LOCATION OF AVAILABLE SPACES IS NOT WHERE PATRONS MOST NEED THEM. YOU HEARD THAT EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, THE SOUTH AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF DOWNTOWN ARE WHERE A LOT OF THE DEMAND THAT IS UNMET BY THE PROVISION OF PARKING EXISTS. 
          BUT WE DO HAVE SPACES THAT ARE ALL AVAILABLE WITHIN A SEVEN MINUTE WALK OF THE SOUTH AND WESTERN PORTIONS. AND SO HOW DO WE HELP PEOPLE FIND THE SPACES WITHOUT HAVING TO CIRCLE AND CIRCLE? WE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE DATA TO 
          [00:20:05]
THOSE PEOPLE AS THEY'RE DOWNTOWN? WE HAVE OPTIONS TO EXPAND IN THE FUTURE, BUT THE WAY THAT WE WANTED TO START FROM THIS PILOT IS SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER BEEN TO MCKINNEY. 
          WHAT'S GOING TO BE MOST USEFUL FOR THEM? IT'S GOING TO BE SIGNS ON LOCATION THAT TELL THEM WHAT THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE SPACES ARE IN ANY GIVEN LOT, AND CAN DIRECT THEM TO LOTS THAT WE KNOW HAVE AVAILABLE SPACES. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE GATHER THAT DATA A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS, PUCKS AND SENSORS VERSUS COMPUTER VISION. WE FEEL THAT THE ONE TRICK PONY PERSPECTIVE OF OR PROVISION FROM PUCKS OR PARKING SENSORS IS NOT WHERE WE WANT TO HEAD, AS WE'RE HOPING TO BE A SMART CITY UTILIZING THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO US. BUT COMPUTER VISION CAN BE A SOLUTION THAT WILL COUNT SPACES WITH MUCH LESS DEVICES PER SPACE, AND THAT THE HARDWARE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ONLY THIS USE CASE IN THE FUTURE. IF SO, DECIDED TO EXPAND THOSE USE CASES. SO THE PROPOSED PILOT SPECIFICALLY, THERE'S A MILLION DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE COULD HAVE COME UP WITH HERE. BUT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS CAPTURE A UNRESTRICTED LOT. THAT'S THE SOUTH KENTUCKY LOT. THERE'S NO TIME RESTRICTION. IT'S A FREE LOT THAT ANYONE CAN PARK AT ALL DAY. AND A RESTRICTED LOT. THE LOT TWO THERE IS LIMITED TO THREE HOURS, AND WE WANTED TO SEE IF WE COULD MEASURE WHO'S USING THOSE SPOTS ON A GIVEN DAY. HOW BUSY ARE THEY? SO WE'LL HAVE A PERIOD OF TIME AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT IT WHERE WE'LL MEASURE EXISTING CONDITIONS. AND THEN HOW CAN WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO THE CHESTNUT GARAGE WHERE WE KNOW GENERALLY THERE ARE AVAILABLE SPACES, OBVIOUSLY, OUTSIDE OF MAJOR EVENTS, LOOKS. CAN YOU COMMENT ON. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ON THIS. I THINK IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. WHEN PEOPLE SEE CAMERAS, THEY THINK ACCESS TO DATA ON THE CAMERA AND RETENTION OF THE DATA. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE WITH THIS? ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION. I'VE GOT SOME INFORMATION FROM OUR PARTNER. AND LET ME JUST JUMP TO THAT SLIDE. WE ARE PARTNERING WITH AMC INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THIS PILOT. THEY'RE ONE OF THE LEADING GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS PROVIDERS. THEY FOCUS ON SMART CITIES AND SMART SOLUTIONS FOR PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ENTITIES, AS INDICATED BY THEIR AWARD FROM NVIDIA IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SPACE. AND AS SUCH, THEY SAID THAT THEIR PROCESS IS THAT NO RAW VIDEO COMES TO THEM. THEY USE WHAT'S KNOWN AS EDGE COMPUTING. SO THEY HAVE HARDWARE ON SITE THAT ACTUALLY DOES THE COMPUTING. AND IT SENDS X'S AND O'S, ZEROS AND ONES. HOWEVER, YOU WANT TO TALK CODE, SPEAK TO THEIR DIGITAL TWIN THAT SHOWS THE PARKING LOT. AND SO THE COMPUTING OF THIS SPACE IS NOW OCCUPIED OR EMPTY GETS DONE THERE ON SITE. AND THEN IT SENDS THE NECESSARY DATA FOR THEM TO VISUALLY DISPLAY THAT ON THE BACK END SO THAT WE KNOW, OKAY, THERE'S A BLUE DOT OR A GREEN DOT OR A RED DOT THAT SHOWS US, HEY, THIS SPACE IS AVAILABLE OR IT'S OCCUPIED. AS FAR AS RETAINING THAT DATA, THEY HAVE A 30 DAY ROLLING BUFFER, WHICH IS ACTUALLY 60 DAYS LESS THAN WE'RE CURRENTLY RETAINING DATA UNDER OUR LICENSE PLATE READER PROGRAM WITH MUNICIPAL COURT. AND SO AGAIN, IT'S STORED AT THE EDGE ON THE HARDWARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAMERA. EVERY 30 DAYS, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY OVERWRITTEN. AND ALL THAT AMC RECEIVES IS THE OUTPUT OF ARE THESE SPACES OCCUPIED OR ARE THEY VACANT? AND THEN IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I HAVE A LOT OF ACRONYMS AND ENCRYPTION INFORMATION THAT THEY PROVIDED TO ME, ENSURING THAT IT MEETS ALL OF THE STATE STANDARDS. AND IT HAS THE 256 BIT ENCRYPTION, ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE USED TO PROVIDING FOR THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT CUSTOMERS. OKAY. SO AM I TO UNDERSTAND THEN THAT LICENSE PLATES ARE RECORDED, ARE RETAINED ON THAT HARDWARE? THERE IS ENCRYPTION, BUT THE TECHNOLOGY DOESN'T OBVIOUSLY NEED A LICENSE PLATE. IS THAT IS THAT FAIR OR LICENSE PLATE NOT CAPTURED AT ALL SPECIFICALLY, THEY'RE ACTUALLY NOT TRAINING THEIR MODEL TO CAPTURE PLATE. THEY'RE ONE OF THE GOALS OF THIS PILOT IS TO SEE, OKAY, SOMEBODY WENT TO THE KENTUCKY LOT OR CLOYD LOT. I SEE A RED SUBURBAN THAT CAME HERE, SAW A SIGN TO GO TO THE CHESTNUT, AND WE SEE A RED SUBURBAN GOING TO THE CHESTNUT AGAIN. THE CAMERAS WILL BE DOING THE COMPUTING AND THE EDGE HARDWARE, AND IT WILL JUST SEND THE INFORMATION TO AMC THAT SAYS A CAR FROM THIS LOT WENT TO THIS LOT WITHIN WHATEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IS THE STATISTICALLY RELEVANT TIME PERIOD SO THAT WE CAN SAY, HEY, WE THINK WE'VE CHANGED BEHAVIOR WITH OUR PILOT. BUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT LICENSE PLATE DATA SPECIFICALLY, THAT'S NOT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'LL BE RETAINING TO TRACK CARS. THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO CHECK OCCUPIED OR NOT, OR THIS 
          [00:25:02]
VEHICLE LOOKS LIKE THE SAME VEHICLE IS MOVED TO WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT TO MOVE. OKAY. 
          ALL THREE OF THESE ARE PART OF THE PILOT PROJECT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. 
          GOING INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THE DETAILS ON THE TIMELINE, THE GOAL HERE IS TO MONTHS 0 TO 3, BUILD OUT THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT THAT HARDWARE. THE FIRST MONTH OF THE PILOT WILL BE JUST ESTABLISHING A BASELINE. HOW FULL ARE THESE LOTS? WHAT ARE THE TYPICAL NUMBER OF AVERAGE SPACES? WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY'RE FULL? AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE SOME DIGITAL SIGNS IN MONTHS FIVE AND SIX TO SEE, ARE WE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY EFFECTIVELY HELP PEOPLE DRIVE EITHER PAST THE LOT OR IN AND STRAIGHT OUT AND GO OVER TO WHAT WE ASSUME WILL BE THE EMPTY CHESTNUT PARKING GARAGE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE DATA HAS SHOWN US TO DATE. THE OTHER THING THAT WE ALSO WILL PROVIDE IS A SIGN OUTSIDE OF THE CHESTNUT GARAGE THAT SHOWS YOU HOW MANY SPACES ARE AVAILABLE SO THAT PEOPLE, ONCE THEY GET THERE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO INSIDE TO AND WONDER, WHICH I THINK WE'VE ALL BENEFITED FROM IN SOME LOCATION IN OUR LIVES. THE COST OF THIS PILOT ARE ESTIMATED TO TOTAL ABOUT 105 000. BUT WE DON'T HAVE EXACT SPECS ON THE SIGNS TO BE PROVIDED. AND WE FEEL THAT USING SIGNS THAT MEET OUR DOWNTOWN AND CITY WIDE WAYFINDING IS GOING TO BE THE MOST USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE, BECAUSE WE'RE VERY AWARE AND CONSCIOUS OF THE CONCERNS AROUND VISUAL CLUTTER IN THE DOWNTOWN. AND SO WE'RE ASKING FOR A LUMP SUM NOT TO EXCEED 150 000 IN CASE WE NEED TO ALLOCATE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS TOWARDS THE BEST SIGNING WE CAN GET TO DISPLAY THE NUMBER OF SPACES AND THOSE WAYFINDING. LUCAS, WILL THERE BE A SIGN ON LOUISIANA OR SOMEWHERE REMOTELY AT THIS POINT? FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE PILOT, WE'RE TRYING TO START WITH JUST THESE THREE LOTS. YOU KNOW, WE COULD DIRECT PEOPLE TO GO THERE FROM ABSOLUTELY COMING INTO TOWN. AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HOPING TO SEE WHAT THE DATA SHOWS US FROM THIS PILOT SHOWING THESE THREE LOTS. AND THEN IF WE FEEL LIKE THE TECHNOLOGY IS SUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TESTING HERE. IT'S IT'S UNPRECEDENTED FOR US TO USE COMPUTER VISION TECHNOLOGY FOR THESE PURPOSES. IF WE FEEL THAT IT'S SUCCESSFUL AND WE'RE ABLE TO DIRECT PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY, THEN THAT COULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE LOOK AT FOR A PHASE TWO WOULD BE, CAN WE CATCH PEOPLE AS THEY'RE ENTERING DOWNTOWN? BUT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PILOT, WE FELT AFFECTING CHANGE WITH THESE SPECIFIC LOTS WOULD BE A GREAT KIND OF CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. TEST CASE, RIGHT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S A PILOT, RIGHT? SO IT'S. I'M ALWAYS THINKING LIKE THREE STEPS AHEAD, RIGHT? YOU, YOU HAVE CAMERAS OUT THERE MONITORING CARS GOING IN AND OUT. WHAT HAPPENS? AND THIS KIND OF GOES ALONG WITH PATRICK WAS SAYING, WHAT HAPPENS? SOMEBODY COMING OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE AND THEY CALL THE POLICE SAY, I'VE BEEN ROBBED. IT WAS A BLUE TOYOTA. WE HAVE THE DATA. BUT LIKE, DO WE SAY, WELL, THESE CAMERAS ARE ONLY SET UP TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE GO IN AND OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE. BUT WE CAN'T WE CAN'T GO BACK AND LIKE, GIVE YOU ANY MORE INFORMATION OTHER THAN THAT. AND THEN WHY, WHY, WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR? YOU KNOW, LIKE, SO I'M JUST NO, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS INTERNALLY AT THIS POINT IN THE PILOT. WE DO HAVE THAT 30 DAY ROLLING DATA COLLECTION. AND SO PLATE READER GOING AROUND. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT PD FEELS LIKE IS RELEVANT TO AN ACTIVE CASE, WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? AND THEY SAY, WELL, WE ALWAYS TURN OVER ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT AS LONG AS WE'RE RETAINING IT. AND SO THE SAME WOULD BE TRUE IN THIS CASE. IF THERE'S RELEVANT DATA THAT PD FEELS LIKE THEY CAN USE, THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE HANDED OVER TO THEM. AGAIN, IT'S ON THAT 30 DAY AUTOMATIC CLOCK. AND SO ANYBODY WHO HAS, FOR EXAMPLE, KIND OF A CLOSED SYSTEM LOOP SECURITY SYSTEM IN THEIR HOUSE, IT'S KIND OF THE SAME OPERATING WAY. A LOT OF THOSE ARE SET TO 30, 60, 90 DAYS. YOU ASSUME THAT IF YOU NEED THAT DATA, YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW ABOUT IT WITHIN THAT PERIOD. YOU'D GO FIND IT. OTHERWISE, IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY OVERWRITES. OKAY. IF SOMEBODY WAS NOT IN A CAR AND THEY WERE JUST ON FOOT AND THERE WAS SOME CRIME COMMITTED, CAN WE HAVE WILL THIS BE PART OF THE SURVEILLANCE ALSO, OR CAN IT BE IN THE FUTURE? SO THAT'S NOT THE USE CASE IN THIS POINT. BUT TO YOUR QUESTION IN THE FUTURE, IF THAT WAS A POLICY DECISION, THAT COUNCIL, THAT LEADERSHIP AT THE CITY WANTED TO SHIFT TO THE IMPLICATIONS OR THE OPTIONS FOR FUTURE USE CASES ARE MORE WIDE OPEN WITH THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY. AND THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WE WANT SOME NEAR MISS TECHNOLOGY FOR INTERSECTIONS OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BETWEEN CARS AND PEDESTRIANS. IF WE ALREADY HAVE CAMERAS LOOKING AT PARKING SPOTS IN THE FUTURE, THAT WOULD BE A POLICY DECISION THAT COULD BE MADE. BUT WE'VE BEEN VERY 
          [00:30:02]
SPECIFIC FOR THIS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PILOT, WE'RE RESTRICTING THE USE CASE TO JUST COUNTING SPOTS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WHAT DO WE NEED? MOTION. YES. THE REQUEST IS FOR A LUMP SUM NOT TO EXCEED $150,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE. AND THIS DOES FALL UNDER THE INNOVATION AND PILOT PROJECT CATEGORY. MR. CHAIR, I WILL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE $150,000 SECOND RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLAUDIA, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. NEXT ITEM IS 26-0500. CONSIDER, DISCUSS. ACT ON A RESOLUTION 
          [26-0500 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Amending the Project Plan for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One]
AMENDING THE PROJECT PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND I KNOW THIS IS OUR LAST ITEM. AND WE'RE COMING UP ON COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL MEETING TIME. SO I'LL BE AS QUICK AS I CAN, BUT CERTAINLY WANT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS ITEM IS WE ARE PROPOSING SOME UPDATES TO THE TOURS. ONE PROJECT PLAN. THIS WOULD BE THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE PROJECT PLAN. SINCE ITS ADOPTION IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE ON THE RED LINE VERSION THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET. WE HAVE ALL THE ADOPTION AND AMENDED DATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT COVER PAGE. 
          THOSE ADOPTIONS WERE THE ADOPTION WAS IN 2010, AMENDMENTS IN 1822 AND 21 AND 24, AND THEN JUNE 2026. WE HAVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. AGAIN, YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF OUR TOURS ZONE IS. IT'S TO CAPTURE INCREASE IN TAX REVENUE CREATED BY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THIS SET BOUNDARY, SO THAT THEY CAN BE REINVESTED INTO THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROJECTS WITHIN THIS AREA THAT QUALIFY. UNDER THIS PLAN. THERE'S A COUPLE CHANGES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE TONIGHT, AND MOST OF THEM I WOULD CATEGORIZE AS ADMINISTRATIVE CLEANUP AND ADDING CLARITY TO THE EXISTING PROJECT PLAN. AND SO THERE IS A RED LINE DOCUMENT IN YOUR PACKET, AS I MENTIONED. BUT JUST TO COVER SOME OF THOSE CHANGES, WE'RE CLEANING UP SOME TYPOS USING CONSISTENCY OF CAPITALIZATION FOR THE VACANT UNDERUTILIZED PROJECTS. WE'RE REMOVING SOME OF THE MISNOMERS THAT I THINK HAVE CONFUSED SOME APPLICANTS IN THE PAST. WE'VE GOT SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT DON'T QUALIFY FOR A CATALYST PROJECT, BUT BECAUSE THEIR TOTAL PROJECT IS MORE THAN $5 MILLION, THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'VE BUMPED THEMSELVES OUT OF THE VACANT, UNDERUTILIZED PROJECTS. WE'RE HOPING TO CLARIFY THAT BY REMOVING SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT'S IN THAT CATEGORY DESCRIPTION. WE'RE ALSO ADDING SOME CLARITY FOR THE PURPOSES OF LAND ACQUISITION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR FROM THAT POLICY GUIDELINE, EXCUSE ME, POLICY DOCUMENT THAT WE CAN ALLOW THE TOURS TO USE FUNDS FOR LAND ACQUISITION FOR A MULTITUDE OF PURPOSES. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE THE CLARITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND IMPLEMENTATION EXPENSES, ALIGNING LANGUAGE BETWEEN THESE AND OUR NON PROJECT COSTS AND ADDING ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. AGAIN JUST TO ADD CLARITY FOR THE AVAILABLE USES OF FUNDS UNDERNEATH THIS PROJECT PLAN. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS. CAN I HAVE A MOTION. I MOVED WE APPROVE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. SECOND I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR COX, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN LYNCH. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY NAYS? MOTION CARRIES. THAT'S THE END OF OUR AGENDA. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A MOTION? THANK YOU. LUCAS. SO MOVED. SECOND. COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS MADE A MOTION SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JONES. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I
