[26-0768 Presentation by Atmos Energy regarding Pipeline Replacement Impact on City Parkland]

[00:05:03]

BASICALLY, WE PUT A DEVICE IN THE PIPELINE. IT KIND OF TELLS US THE HOW THE PIPELINE IS DOING. IT GIVES US THE WALL THICKNESSES AND AND OTHER DATA. SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO PIG THIS LINE AFTER THIS PROJECT. CURRENTLY, IT IS NOT ABLE TO BE PICKED. AND THIS WILL ALSO INCREASE CAPACITY TO SERVE FUTURE NEEDS. I KNOW THE AMPHITHEATER HAS HAD LOTS OF DISCUSSION. THIS WILL PROVIDE A BACK FEED INTO THAT. THIS WILL PROVIDE A LOT OF THE GROWTH THAT MCKINNEY IS SEEING. THIS WILL PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE TO THOSE AREAS AS WELL. SO HERE'S KIND OF AN OVERVIEW, KIND OF A SMALL MAP, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT KIND OF GOES FROM THE RACETRACK.

IF YOU KNOW THE AREA AT VIRGINIA AND HIGHWAY 75, IT'S GOING TO CROSS 75 AND GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO STEWART ROAD, JUST TO THE WEST OF HIGHWAY FIVE. YOU CAN SEE IT GOES RIGHT THROUGH TOWN PARK, AND WE'LL KIND OF BE FOCUSING ON THAT IN A LITTLE BIT. BUT THE OVERALL SCOPE IS IT WILL REPLACE ABOUT 2.5 MILES OF SIX INCH STEEL WITH 2.65 MILES OF 12 INCH STEEL. IT'S A LITTLE LARGER REPLACEMENT BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE AT THE VERY SOUTH END, WE'RE DOING A REROUTE. SO IT ADDED A LITTLE DISTANCE. SO IT'S NOT A COMPLETE ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT, BUT IT WILL DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE PIPELINE, WHICH HELPS ALMOST QUADRUPLE THE CAPACITY OF THIS LINE. WE'RE ALSO REDESIGNING THE STATION PIPING TO HELP SUPPORT GROWTH.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE NEW AMPHITHEATER, THEY'LL BE DISTRICT REGULATOR SETTINGS THAT WILL HELP WITH THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS, AMPHITHEATER, OTHER BUSINESS DISTRICTS THAT ARE GROWING AROUND MCKINNEY. SO HERE'S KIND OF THE PROJECT TIMELINE. WE'LL BEGIN THE SU STUDY, WHICH IS A SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING STUDY. THAT'S BASICALLY THEY WILL POTHOLE A LOT OF THE LINES, MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HIT ANY OF THE UTILITY LINES AS WE'RE DOING THIS PROJECT BEGINNING EARLY FALL, WE'LL START CLEARING THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE WERE GRANTED FOR THIS PROJECT. AND THEN FALL OF 2026 INTO SPRING OF 2027, IS OUR PROJECTED CONSTRUCTION OF THE PIPELINE. AND THEN AFTER THE PIPELINE IS PLACED IN THE GROUND, WE WILL RESTORE ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY BACK TO THE EXISTING OR BETTER CONDITION.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE TIMELINE FOR THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. SO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WE FACE WITH D 9212 REPLACEMENT IS IT'S A VERY LIMITED WORKSPACE. AS YOU KNOW THIS IS A VERY URBAN ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO KIND OF MANEUVER AROUND DIFFERENT BUILDINGS, SIDEWALKS, STREETS, UTILITIES. SO THIS IS NOT YOUR RURAL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A NOWHERE PIPELINE REPLACEMENT. THIS WILL BE A VERY DIFFICULT PROJECT. THERE'S SIGNIFICANT ROADWAYS THAT I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED CROSSING VIRGINIA STREET, CROSSING HIGHWAY 75, UTILITY

[00:10:05]

SO OUR LAY DOWN YARD IS A BIG YARD THAT WE WILL PROBABLY HOUSE ALL OF OUR MATERIAL.

RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE MCKINNEY ISD, AND THEY ARE VERY AGREEABLE TO WORK WITH US BECAUSE WE WILL HELP MOVE THE PIPELINE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH AND OUT OF THE WAY. YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE LINE IS THE EXISTING LINE KIND OF CUTS RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THAT PROPERTY. WE WILL MOVE THAT TO THE SOUTH FOR THIS PROJECT, AND THE ORANGE HIGHLIGHTED AREA IS WHERE WE WILL STAGE. A LOT OF THE MATERIALS, WILL STAGE PIPE, WILL STAGE FITTINGS, SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT, AND THAT'S GOING TO KIND OF BE THE CENTRAL BASE FOR THIS PROJECT. IT'S KIND OF A CENTRAL LOCATION FOR THE PROJECT, AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO WORK WITH MCKINNEY ISD FOR LETTING US USE THAT SPOT. WE WILL BE CROSSING TOWN LAKE. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WILL PUT A TEMPORARY BRIDGE THAT WILL BE USED ACROSS THE LAKE FOR TRAFFIC, WHERE WE'RE NOT BLOCKING UP WILSON CREEK, GOING AROUND TO THE SOFTBALL FIELDS, WE WILL JUST USE A RAIL BRIDGE WILL BE PLACED ACROSS THERE WHERE THE CONTRACTORS CAN GO KIND OF BACK AND FORTH. WHEN THEY'RE WORKING IN THIS AREA. IT WON'T BE THERE FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION. IT WILL ONLY BE THERE FOR WHEN THEY'RE WORKING IN THIS AREA. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF THE WORK IN THIS IN THIS AREA AND THE RAIL BRIDGE WILL HAVE TO CLOSE SOME RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THIS AREA. NOT EVERYTHING, BUT PROBABLY SOME OF THOSE, THOSE THOSE ACTIVITIES THAT USE THE DOCKS RIGHT THERE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE CLOSED, MAYBE SOME OF THE WALKING TRAILS WHILE THEY'RE WORKING IN THIS AREA. HERE IS A PICTURE THROUGH THE THROUGH THE REST OF THE PARK TO THE SOUTH, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF TREES. WE WILL HAVE TO CLEAR THE TREE CANOPY FOR OUR AERIAL PATROLS. IT IS PART OF THE 192 GOVERNMENT CODE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE EYES ON OUR LINES. WE WILL PROBABLY BE CLEARING JUST THE CANOPY. WE WON'T BE CLEARING A TON OF TREES, BUT WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE AERIAL SIGHT ON THE LINE. AND WE'VE KIND OF ALREADY TALKED TO THE CITY ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO, BUT WE MAY HAVE TO CUT SOME CANOPY THROUGH THERE. FROM THE PICTURE, IT LOOKS VERY CONGESTED, BUT ACTUALLY WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THERE, IT'S PRETTY OPEN. SO WE THINK WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE TO CUT OUT SOME OF THE TOP OF THE TREES WHERE WE CAN HAVE EYES ON OUR PIPELINE. BUT THIS WILL BE PART OF THE EFFORT OF THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. JUST A COUPLE MORE SLIDES. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOME KIND OF OLD FENCES AT OUR SITES AT THE NORTH END AND THE SOUTH END. ONE IS A CHAIN LINK FENCE. ONE IS KIND OF AN OLD WOODEN FENCE. WE WILL BE REPLACING THESE WITH DROP PANELS, MASONRY WALLS. THEY'LL LOOK A LOT NICER. I THINK THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THEM WILL LIKE HOW THEY LOOK AS WELL. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE RACETRACK REALLY CARES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, BUT THE ONE ON THE NORTH END WILL LOOK A LOT BETTER TO. AND THEN AS I DISCUSSED EARLIER, THIS IS KIND OF THE REROUTE OF THE PROJECT BECAUSE OF THE NEW PARK IN IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE TWO NEIGHBORHOODS, WE WILL BE COMPLETELY OUT OF THAT AREA AND WE WILL BE REROUTING ON THE OLD GOLF COURSE AND INTO OUR STATION DOWN AT THE SOUTH END.

SO WE WILL BE KIND OF WE'VE KIND OF ALREADY SURVEYED THAT AREA, AND WE FOUND A GOOD ROUTE THAT WILL KIND OF ALLEVIATE THE PIPELINE GOING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK. AND THIS IS A PICTURE OF KIND OF WHAT THE RIGHT OF WAY LOOKS LIKE. I THINK WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WHAT WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY WE NEED. AND YOU CAN SEE FROM A TYPICAL PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, THIS IS KIND OF WHAT WE NEED AND WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE FOOTAGE THAT WE NEED.

YOU CAN SEE YOU NEED SPOOL PILES ON THE RIGHT. YOU HAVE THE TRENCH THAT THE PIPE WILL BE IN. YOU HAVE THE AREA THAT THE PIPE WILL BE WELDED. THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE MACHINES TO GO UP AND DOWN THE RIGHT OF WAY TO LIFT THE PIPE AND PUT IT INTO THE GROUND, AND THEN YOU HAVE OTHER TOPSOIL ON THE LEFT. SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THIS IS A TYPICAL RIGHT OF WAY SETUP.

AND WE CAN'T JUST WE DON'T JUST NEED THE, YOU KNOW, 18IN OR 12IN THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE PIPE IN. YOU CAN SEE IT TAKES A BIG EFFORT TO PUT IN A LINE OF THIS SIZE. I THINK THAT IS. I THINK THAT'S THE LAST SLIDE. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR PATIENCE GOING THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION. DID YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR. I THINK WE DO. OKAY. YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO POINT OUT, I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LAKE. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOME OPEN SPACE. YOU'RE ALSO GOING THROUGH THE, THE WOODS THERE TOO, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THAT MUCH OF A CLEARING OF THE WOODS THROUGH THERE. RIGHT, RIGHT. WE'VE KIND OF WALKED THROUGH THERE. WE DON'T BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE TO CLEAR OUT TOO MANY TREES, BUT WE WOULD TRY AND

[00:15:03]

NOW, THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONS SUBTRACTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ROUTE OVER THE COURSE OF HOW WIDE THAT EASEMENT GETS, BUT IT IS ALONG THEIR EASEMENT THAT THEY HAVE TODAY. YEAH, I GET THAT. IT'S JUST. YEAH. ARE WE SAYING THAT RIGHT NOW? IT'S BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU NEED VISIBILITY OF THE LINE. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE VISIBILITY THE LINE RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW WE ARE WALKING THE LINE TO MAKE COMPLIANCE.

BUT IT'D BE IT'S A LOT EASIER IF WE CAN USE AERIAL PATROLS. IT COSTS LESS MONEY. THEY CAN DO IT IN ONE TRIP INSTEAD OF USING THE LABOR AND MANPOWER OF ACTUALLY PATROLLING THE LINE.

SO IT NEEDS IT NEEDS SOME UPDATE. BUT YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO CLEAR THE CANOPY WHERE WE CAN DO THIS AERIALLY. OKAY, HOW CLOSE IS THIS TO THE NEW LIGHT WALK AREA? THE. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN POINT TO IT, BUT KIND OF THE NORTHERN 45 THERE IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE LIGHT WALK AREA.

WE'VE WE'VE BEEN TO THE SITE MANY TIMES. WE DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS AREA. WE WILL CLEAR ANY TREES THAT HAVE THE LIGHTS OR ANY OF THE STRUCTURES THAT HELP WITH THE ELECTRICITY TO THE LIGHTS, BUT I MEAN, IT IS CLOSE TO THE LIGHT TRAIL, BUT WE DON'T BELIEVE WE'LL HIT ANY TREES THAT ALREADY HAVE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE LIGHTS ON IT. ANYONE ELSE? I DID HAVE A QUESTION. IF YOU'LL GO TO SLIDE SEVEN RIGHT HERE. IT'S A TIMING QUESTION. TWO THINGS. ONE, THE DO YOU KNOW THE TIMELINE START TO FINISH OF THIS PROJECT? WE BELIEVE WE WILL BE STARTING PROBABLY LATE OCTOBER, EARLY NOVEMBER IS OUR GOAL. AND THEN PROBABLY GOING INTO MAY OF 2027, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PART OF THE PROJECT, THE CONTRACTORS AND THE FIELD PERSONNEL WILL START ON. SO I DON'T I DON'T HAVE AN IDEA OF WHEN WHEN THEY WILL BE AT THIS SPOT, BUT I KNOW THE GENERAL OVERALL TIMELINE OF WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE PIPELINE COMPLETE. YEAH, THAT WAS MY QUESTION. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN BEING HERE IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY AND BEING HERE APRIL AND MAY. WOULD YOUR PREFERENCE BE DECEMBER AND JANUARY? YEAH. WELL, ACTIVITY AT AT THE IN THIS AREA IS MUCH LESS WHEN IT'S WHEN IT'S COLD VERSUS WHEN THE FLOWERS ARE BLOOMING AND IT'S THE WEATHER'S NICE. YEAH. NOW I'M NOT SAYING TO LET THAT DETERMINE YOUR SCHEDULE, BUT JUST, JUST AN OBSERVATION. NO, I THINK THAT WILL LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CALLS THAT WE GET ASKING WHEN YOU WILL BE FINISHED. YEAH. NO THAT'S A WE WILL DEFINITELY TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. I THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT FOR.

THERE WOULDN'T BE AS MUCH TRAFFIC THERE, WOULDN'T YOU GUYS WOULDN'T GET AS MUCH CALLS.

WE WOULD IF WE DID THAT IN THE WINTER. IT IS A DIFFICULT COUPLE OF BORES TO DO SO IN THE WINTER. YEAH, WE CAN DEFINITELY CONSIDER IT. AND THAT WAS NOT A REQUEST TO, YOU KNOW, ON ON THE FLY, SET YOUR SCHEDULE, BUT JUST AN OBSERVATION THAT IF THERE WAS SOME FLEXIBILITY, MAYBE THAT WOULD BE AN AREA YOU COULD BE FLEXIBLE. MR. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT? OKAY. THUMBS UP FROM MR. MINYARD. MISS KINCAID REMINDED ME AS WELL, OUR STAFF HAS BEEN COORDINATING WITH ATMOS AS WELL. ALL THE GENERAL SPECIAL EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN THAT TIME FRAME, ALBEIT NOT IN THE NICE SPRING DAYS. THOSE ARE BEING COORDINATED AND RESCHEDULED ACCORDINGLY, SO THAT THERE'S NOT THIS DISRUPTION OF ACTIVITY BETWEEN SPECIAL EVENT OR SOMEONE HOSTING SOMETHING IN THE PARK AND ATMOS CONSTRUCTION. VERY GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NONE. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT ITEM 26-0769. PARKS

[26-0769 Consider/Discuss Parks Capital Projects]

[00:20:03]

I'M GOING TO GO PRETTY QUICKLY FOR THE INTEREST OF TIME. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, FEEL FREE TO STOP ME AT ANY POINT DURING THE PRESENTATION. SO THIS, THIS PROJECT CAME THROUGH WITH A, WITH A GRANT FROM CDC THAT TO ALLOW US TO ADD ADDITIONAL SOD AND IRRIGATION FOR ADDITIONAL PRACTICE SPACE AT THE NORTH OF THE FIVE PLEX SOFTBALL AT GABE NESBITT. WE ALSO FENCED AN OUTDOOR AREA ON THE EAST SIDE OF APEX TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMING. AND THEN WE ADDED TWO CONSTRUCTION OR TWO MONUMENT SIGNS, ONE ON EL DORADO AND ONE ON ALMA. AND THIS IS COMPLETE. AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE AN ONGOING PROGRAM WHERE WE WHERE WE REPLACE OUR AGING PLAYGROUNDS. THIS ONE. AND THEN THE FOLLOWING ONE ASH WOODS PARK. YOU SEE THE NEW ONE ON THE LEFT, THE OLD EQUIPMENT ON THE RIGHT PUT IN NEW PLAYGROUND, NEW SURFACING, NEW SWINGS. THIS IS COMPLETE. IT'S BEEN VERY WELL RECEIVED. AND THIS IS ALSO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PROJECT PLAYGROUND, WHO WE PARTNER WITH, WHERE THEY TAKE OUR OLD EQUIPMENT, REFURBISH IT AND SEND IT OVER OVERSEAS TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. AND JUST ONE NOTE ON THIS ONE. THIS THIS ONE WAS IMPROVED TO HAVE THE WITH THE SAFETY SURFACING TO JUST KIND OF HELPS WITH THE ALL INCLUSIVE ELEMENT. WE'VE GOT RAMPS, WIDER PLATFORMS JUST KIND OF ADDS A DIFFERENT, ANOTHER ELEMENT, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES AND INSPIRATION PARK NEW ONE ON THE LEFT, OLD ON THE RIGHT. AGAIN, NEW PLAYGROUND SPINNERS, NEW MULCH. AND AGAIN IN COORDINATION WITH PROJECT PLAYGROUND. WE ALSO REPLACED OR I'M NOT SORRY REPLACED BUT REPAIRED TWO TWO COURTS AT THE TENNIS COMPLEX THAT WERE IN MUCH NEED OF RENOVATION. WE ALL. WE ALSO CONVERTED ALL OF THE LIGHTING TO MUSCO LED, WHICH HAS BEEN A REALLY HUGE IMPROVEMENT. FENCING REPLACEMENT AT GILDA GARZA BEFORE THE THREE IMAGES ON THE LEFT. WE DESPERATELY NEED THE ONES ON THE RIGHT SHOW THE NEW FENCE, GATE AND MOW STRIPS. BIG IMPROVEMENT TO THIS AQUATIC FACILITY. AND THEN GOING ON TO BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION. CRAIG SOCCER HUGE PROJECT. WE'VE GOT ALL OF THE SOD OR ALL I'M SORRY, ALL OF THE SYNTHETIC FIELDS COMPLETE. MOST OF THE SOD FIELDS ARE DONE. WE'RE JUST KIND OF GETTING THEM ESTABLISHED. THE REMAINING WORK REALLY REMAINS OR IS LEFT FOR THE PLAYGROUND AREA. THE EXISTING RESTROOM AND CONCESSION BUILDING IS UNDER RENOVATION. AND THEN JUST KIND OF THE THE FINISHING TOUCHES AROUND THE PARK WORKS. WE EXPECT THIS ONE TO BE COMPLETE. HOPEFULLY BY NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. IT'LL BE A SIGNIFICANT ADDITION TO OUR SYSTEM. CONTINUING ON WITH ATHLETIC FIELDS, IT GAVE SOFTBALL. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE THE FOUR PLEX OF SYNTHETIC SOFTBALL FIELDS JUST JUST KIND OF TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE I'M SORRY, SOUTHWEST OF THE LIBRARY, YOU CAN SEE THE FIELDS TAKING SHAPE. WE'VE GOT THE PARKING LOT IN THERE JUST MOVING REALLY QUICKLY OUT THERE ALSO INCLUDE RESTROOM CONCESSION, ADDITIONAL PARKING AND TRAILS. IRWIN PARK, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS ONE. THE PARK IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. WE HAVE THE CONTRACTOR MOBILIZED ON SITE. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A JUST A REALLY INCREDIBLE REFURBISHMENT, REFURBISHMENT OF THE SYSTEM AND OF THIS AGING PARK. WE'LL HAVE ALL NEW UTILITIES, ELECTRIC NEW ROADS, NEW PARKING, NEW CAMPSITES, OVERLOOK PAVILIONS, SHOWERS, MAINTENANCE, BARN. IT'S GOING TO BE JUST A TREMENDOUS ASSET TO THE SYSTEM. WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH DORBA DALLAS OFF-ROAD BICYCLE ASSOCIATION ON MONTHLY MAINTENANCE DAYS, BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THE BIKE SYSTEM OUT THERE. BUT THE PARK IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED, AND WE DO ANTICIPATE IT STAYING CLOSED THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF CONSTRUCTION FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS. SO WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TOWN LAKE

[00:25:02]

PHASE ONE. B IS WHAT WE CONSIDER GRADY LITTLEJOHN. I'LL TOUCH ON THAT HERE ON THE NEXT SLIDE. AND THEN ONE C IS THE THE PLAY ZONE AND DOG PARK, WHICH I WILL TOUCH ON AS WELL.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY TOWN LAKE IN AND OF ITSELF IS UNDER RENOVATION. WE'RE GOING THROUGH DESIGN RIGHT NOW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MASTER PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL IN 2022. THAT HAS ALSO RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT BOND FUNDING. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. HUGE PROJECT FOR FOR THE CITY. SO, GRADY LITTLEJOHN, WE ARE WE'VE GOT A CONTRACTOR ON SITE AND MOBILIZED AS WELL. THERE'S ALREADY CONSTRUCTION FENCING UP. AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THIS, THIS PROJECT KIND OF CAME ABOUT WHEN THE RESTROOMS WERE BURNED DOWN. SO WE'RE PLACING NEW RESTROOMS AND THEN BASICALLY JUST IMPROVING THE SPECTATOR AND THE USER EXPERIENCE. THE DOG PARK AND PLAY ZONE. THERE IS A CONTRACT ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR CONSTRUCTION. JUST CONTINUING ON WITH THE MASTER PLAN AND IMPLEMENTING PHASE C, IF YOU WILL, OF THE TOWN LAKE MASTER PLAN, AND THIS WILL BE UP FOR CONSIDERATION. APEX ELEVATOR. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT ONE ONE OF ELEVATOR IN THE FACILITY. THIS IS GOING TO BE A SECOND ELEVATOR AT THE BACKSIDE OF THE FACILITY. WE JUST TOOK A CONTRACT OR I'M SORRY, A RECOMMENDATION TO PARK BOARD. SO BRINGING CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT RECOMMENDATION TO YOU VERY SHORTLY AS WELL. AND THIS WILL BE MORE OF A FREIGHT ELEVATOR, I BELIEVE. WHATELY PARK GOING UNDERGROUND WILL UNDERGO A FULL RENOVATION. WE ARE OPENING BIDS THIS THURSDAY. AND THEN OF COURSE, WE'LL GO TO PARK BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A CONTRACT TO YOU ALL BY OCTOBER FOR FULL RECONSTRUCTION OF THIS PARK.

MOVING ON TO DESIGN. COUPLE BIG, BIG PROJECTS IN THIS AREA, THE CIVIC CAMPUS, OBVIOUSLY WE'VE GOT THERE WAS A FEASIBILITY, I'M SORRY, CONCEPTUAL PLAN PRESENTED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION TONIGHT ON THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. WE ARE SOON GOING TO BRING A DESIGN CONTRACT FOR YOU BEFORE YOU FOR THE RECREATION CENTER. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE DESTINATION SPORTS COMPLEX, WHICH WE ARE IN NEGOTIATING IN NEGOTIATIONS NOW WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THAT PROPERTY. HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, WE WILL HAVE THIS PROJECT READY FOR CONSTRUCTION, CONNECTING THE PHASES, BOTH PHASES AND THEN ENHANCED ENTRANCE ALONG PARK VIEW. GRAY BRANCH TRAIL. WE'RE WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT RIGHT NOW TO LOOK AT AN ALIGNMENT STUDY. WE'RE TRYING TO CONNECT UNDERNEATH 380. THIS WILL BE ONLY OUR THIS WILL BE OUR SECOND GRADE SEPARATED TRAIL OF 380, WHICH IS A HUGE, REALLY IMPORTANT TRAIL FOR OUR SYSTEM. WE'RE LOOKING RIGHT NOW JUST KIND OF THE FEASIBILITY OF WHICH DIRECTION IS BEST TO GO. AND THEN WE WILL WORK ON THAT. BASED UPON THE RESULTS OF THAT ALIGNMENT STUDY, WE WILL BRING A DESIGN CONTRACT FORWARD. THIS WILL INCLUDE CONCRETE TRAILS AS WELL AS PARKING. WILSON CREEK PHASE TWO, THIS ONE, WE KIND OF PAUSED JUST A LITTLE BIT WITH OUR ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH ATMOS. ATMOS. WE'VE ALL WE'VE PICKED IT BACK UP. NOW, THE CONCEPTUAL IMAGE THAT YOU SEE IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE ARE DESIGNING IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND BEEN COORDINATING VERY CLOSELY WITH ATMOS ON OUR DESIGN PLANS. THIS WILL BE A 12 FOOT WIDE TRAIL THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE EXISTING TRAIL THAT'S IN TURQUOISE, AND WILL CREATE A CONTINUOUS CONNECTION UP THROUGH TOWN LAKE. CAN YOU ON THAT ONE IS THERE. WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT CONTINUING GOING SOUTH THERE, I THINK, OR SOUTHEAST THERE UNDERNEATH HIGHWAY FIVE. YEAH. YES. WHERE WOULD THAT CONNECT? IS THAT IS THAT EXTENDED FROM KIND OF WHERE THE RED LINE TURNS? IT'S ACTUALLY THE WHERE WE ENVISIONED IT WOULD BE. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY HIGHWAY FIVE IS COMPLETELY, YOU KNOW, UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'LL BE CLOSER UP TOWARDS WILSON CREEK. SO KIND OF ON THE NORTH END OF THAT POND. YEAH.

WE'LL JUST KIND OF TAKE IT UNDERNEATH WILSON CREEK RIGHT THERE. OKAY. ROWLETT CREEK PARK TWO TRAIL. WELL, THERE'S A ROWLETT CREEK PARK WILL BE HAVE A FULL RENOVATION AS WELL AS TWO BOOKEND TRAILS WITH THIS PROJECT, KIND OF CALL THEM ROWLETT CREEK NORTH. WE'RE WORKING ON A DESIGN CONTRACT RIGHT NOW, WHICH WILL GET US THE TRAIL CONNECTION BENEATH

[00:30:05]

JUST SOME VERY INTERESTED USERS. ONE THING I DID NOT KNOW IS THAT ONCE THIS IS COMPLETED, THIS WILL GET THE CITY COMPLETELY CONNECTED VIA TRAIL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BOB WOODRUFF PARK IN PLANO. SO THIS WILL BE A REALLY BIG CONNECTION. THIS WILL. THIS CONSISTS OF A DEVELOPER CONSTRUCTED PORTION IN BLUE. AND THEN WE WILL BE BUILDING THE PORTION IN RED.

OLD SETTLERS PARK IS. WE HOPE TO GO OUT TO BID WITH THIS ONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR, EARLY, EARLY NEXT YEAR. WE SLOWED IT DOWN JUST A BIT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DESIGN PLANS AND, AND THE DRAINAGE AND, AND THE GRADING COORDINATED WITH THE ENGINEERING'S ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THAT ONE. AND BOTH PROJECTS HAVE KIND OF MIRRORED UP. SO WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS FINALIZATION OF THAT. TOM ALLEN JR IS AN EXISTING PARK. WE ARE WE'RE UNDER DESIGN RIGHT NOW. THE PAVILION IS IN IS IN MUCH NEED OF REPAIR. SO WE ARE GOING TO COMPLETELY RENOVATE THE PAVILION, ALL NEW PLAYGROUND. ALSO JUST KIND OF TAKE ANOTHER LOOK, MORE OF A REFRESHED OVERALL REFRESH, SEE IF THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE TO THE PARK, SUCH AS BASKETBALL OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. AND WE WILL BE GOING OUT WITH SOME KIND OF PUBLIC SURVEY OR ONLINE SURVEY. CONTINUING WITH THE THE PLAYGROUND RENOVATIONS. JIM LEDBETTER THE ONE, THE IMAGE AT THE BOTTOM IS THE OLD ONE. AND THEN THE CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS, RENDERINGS IN THE MIDDLE AND TO THE RIGHT ARE GOING TO BE THE NEW FEATURES. SO IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT RENOVATION OUT THERE. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. SAME WITH WINIFRED PARK. SEE THE OLD ON THE LEFT AND THE NEW ITEMS ON THE RIGHT. AND WE SHOULD BE HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY ISSUING PURCHASE ORDERS SOON AND WE'LL GET THAT GOING THIS FALL. AND THEN A FEW MORE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS AT GABE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A PRETTY BUSY PARK. SO WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES. THESE ARE SHOWN ON THE MASTER PLAN. SO WE ARE KIND OF BUILDING WHAT WAS ALWAYS ENVISIONED AND ALWAYS NEEDED. WE ALSO TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AND SAID, WE PROBABLY NEED A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION COMING FROM THE EXISTING SOFTBALL CONCESSIONS, AS WELL AS A NEW PAVILION TO BENEFIT THAT OPEN PRACTICE AND PLAY AREA. SO WE ADDED A SIDEWALK, IF YOU WILL, TO TO CONNECT TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE MAIN HUB OF SOFTBALL TO THE PAVILION AND NEW PARKING. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OVERALL WAYFINDING THROUGHOUT WAYFINDING, SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE PARK. AND WE GET A LOT OF COMMENTS. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING. IT'S HARD TO FIND THINGS. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME BETTER SIGNAGE OUT THERE AS WELL AS SOME MUCH NEEDED ADA IMPROVEMENTS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS. AND THEN FINALLY, JUST A FEW UPCOMING PROJECTS. WE'VE GOT THE TRAILS UPDATE AND WAYFINDING WAYFINDING PLAN THAT NEEDS TO BE STARTED SOON. A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IN WESTRIDGE THAT WE NEED TO BEGIN DESIGN ON.

AND THEN ONE MORE TRAIL PROJECT TO HARDEN IN BLOOMINGDALE, AND THEN MULTIPLE PROJECTS. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. JENNY, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AND THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT, COUNCILMAN. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME NEW PARK EQUIPMENT FOR YOUR GRANDKIDS.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TEST IT OUT, MR. MAYOR, TO GO. YEAH, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

THANK YOU. JENNY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. NEXT ITEM 26-0770. DISCUSS THE

[26-0770 Consider/Discuss Results from Feasibility Study for APEX North]

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. TREVOR MINYARD, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY INTRO THE APEX NORTH SECTION OF THE CONVERSATION. WE STARTED ON THE 4TH OF AUGUST IN RELATION TO THE 110 ACRE SITE UP NORTH OF BLOOMDALE. TRY NOT TO CLICK ANY BUTTONS. AND THEN I'LL HAND IT OVER TO AMY KINCAID, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION, AND THEN SHE'LL INTRODUCE OUR FOLKS FROM PARK HILL, THE CONSULTANT THAT'S HELPING US WITH THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY. BUT JUST TO ORIENT YOU ONCE AGAIN, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER STEVE TILTON GAVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE 110 ACRE SITE PLAN THAT WE ARE WORKING TO MASTER PLAN FROM THE PROPERTY THAT WE PURCHASED FROM THE MCKINNEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS IS A REPEAT OF

[00:35:04]

I'M. WE'VE BEEN WORKING THE LAST THREE MONTHS ON THE FEASIBILITY AND THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT ON THIS PROPERTY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP MR. MICHAEL HOWARD TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION AND LIKE TREVOR MENTIONED, MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AGAIN, MY NAME IS MICHAEL HOWARD, ARCHITECT WITH PARK HILL. I WAS BEFORE YOU A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO PRESENT THE PROGRESS UPDATE ON THE NORTH CIVIC CAMPUS. AND SO THIS IS THE DIAGRAM THAT WE RECEIVED YOUR FEEDBACK ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THIS HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE WE LAST SPOKE, BUT BASED ON THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK YOU GAVE US A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, IT ALLOWED US TO KIND OF DRILL DOWN A LITTLE DEEPER ON THE ON THE CONCEPTUAL LEVEL OF DETAIL, SPECIFICALLY ON THE RECREATIONAL FACILITY. AND SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE STAND ON THAT DESIGN.

SO THERE WAS A FOOTPRINT WE WE PRESENTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW, BUT BECAUSE WE'VE CONSIDERED A DEEPER LEVEL OF THAT SITE PLAN, WE HAVE STARTED TO TAKE, THE BUILDING HAS STARTED TO TAKE SHAPE. JUST I MAY HAVE MENTIONED THIS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY DID HAVE A VERY DETAILED SPACE PROGRAM, SPACE PROGRAMING ELEMENT WHERE WE CONSIDERED ALL THE POTENTIAL USES THAT MIGHT END UP IN THIS BUILDING. OF COURSE, A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE BUILDING WILL BE THE INDOOR AQUATICS, WHICH WILL SERVE BOTH COMMUNITY USES THROUGH LEISURE AND ACTIVITY POOLS, BUT ALSO THE MCKINNEY ISD COMPONENT WITH A TEN LANE COMPETITION COMPETITION POOL. SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN BLUE HERE ON THE LEVEL ONE. THE REST OF THE FACILITY WILL HAVE, OF COURSE, SEVERAL COMMON AND SHARED SPACES FOR COMMUNITY USES, AS WELL AS A LARGE COMPONENT OF FITNESS, WELLNESS AND OTHER TYPES OF ACTIVITIES. YOU SEE, IN TYPICAL REC CENTERS, WE DO ANTICIPATE APPROXIMATELY AN 8500 ZERO SQUARE FOOT FACILITY, AND IT'S CURRENTLY PLANNED TO BE TWO LEVELS, SO IT'S GENERALLY SIMILAR IN SIZE TO THE CURRENT APEX FACILITY. AND YOU CAN START TO SEE HOW WE'VE STARTED TO POSITION THAT BUILDING IN THE SPACES WITHIN IT. AS WE LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, I WANT TO PRESENT TWO OPTIONS TO YOU TODAY THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING. NEITHER ONE IS FINAL. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE TWO OPTIONS. AGAIN, THE ORANGE BUILDING YOU'RE SEEING ON THIS SITE PLAN IS THE REC CENTER. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'RE SEEING BELOW WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME, WHICH WAS THE PUBLIC WORKS CAMPUS AND PUMP STATION, WHICH IS ALSO STILL AT A CONCEPTUAL LEVEL. THIS FIRST OPTION ORIENTS THE BUILDING REALLY IN A NORTH SOUTH ORIENTATION. WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THAT ORIENTATION IS WE ANTICIPATE THE ENTRANCE TO BE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRAWING TOWARD LAKE FOREST. AND SO THIS GIVES A LOT OF FACADE OR ELEVATION TOWARD THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE OF LAKE FOREST. IT WILL, WE ANTICIPATE, BE LOCATED BEHIND THE GROVE OF TREES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME. THAT WILL PROVIDE SOME SCREENING, BUT ALSO, I THINK SOME ELEMENT OF FEELING LIKE THE BUILDING IS SET BACK IN NATURE, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE OVERALL SITE PLAN. WE ARE PLANNING THAT THERE MIGHT BE EXPANSION TO THIS BUILDING AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. SO THE SORT OF LIGHTER ORANGE AREA YOU SEE AT THE SOUTH END OF THAT BUILDING WOULD BE A POTENTIAL EXPANSION. IT COULD GO IN OTHER DIRECTIONS, BUT THAT'S ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF AN EXPANSION THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE A SECONDARY, BASICALLY BASKETBALL COURT, GYM SPACE AND SOME OTHER

[00:40:01]

BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT HOW THE CURRENT APEX IS SITUATED, THERE'S A REALLY GREAT SORT OF FRONT DOOR ACCESS TO THE OUTDOOR AQUATICS AT THE FRONT OF THE PARKING. AND THIS SORT OF POSITIONS THE OUTDOOR AQUATICS TOWARD THE REAR. THE OTHER CON IS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING STARTS TO TAKE UP MOST OF THE NORTH SOUTH AVAILABLE LAND. AND SO IT STARTS TO GET VERY CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDINGS, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE ATTRACTIVE, DEPENDING ON THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A COUPLE OTHER VIEWS OF WHAT THIS OPTION MIGHT LOOK LIKE. HERE WE GO. THIS IS JUST ZOOMED IN.

COUNCILMAN JONES, LAST TIME YOU ASKED ME SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE FLOODPLAIN OR THE DETENTION, I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT QUESTION. WHILE WE WERE LOOKING AT THE ZOOMED IN AREA, I DID GO BACK AND CONFIRM WITH OUR ENGINEERS. WE HAVE DONE SOME PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS ON THE DETENTION NEEDS AT THE FULL BUILD OUT OF THIS SITE, WITH THE PUMP STATION, WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS CAMPUS, THERE WILL BE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS PAVING, MOSTLY DRIVEN BY THE PUBLIC PUBLIC WORKS CAMPUS. SO THESE PONDS ARE GENERALLY TO SCALE AT FULL BUILD OUT. WE ANTICIPATE AS MUCH AS FOUR ACRES OF SURFACE AREA FOR THOSE DETENTION PONDS.

BUT AS I MENTIONED LAST TIME, WE WANT TO MONETIZE THAT AND INCORPORATE SOME FUTURE OUTDOOR PASSIVE AREAS AND TRAIL SPACE THAT COULD WORK WITH THOSE PONDS. SO IT DOES CREATE, I THINK, A GOOD USE OF THE OF THE FUTURE DETENTION. SOME 3D VIEWS OF THIS OPTION. AGAIN, I'VE KIND OF ROTATED THE THE VIEW ON YOU HERE, BUT NOW LAKE FOREST IS KIND OF RUNNING DIAGONAL DOWN THE SCREEN. AGAIN, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW IT TUCKS BACK BEHIND THE THE GROVE OF TREES.

NOW THERE IS A LOT OF VIEWS THAT WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS BUILDING. WE ANTICIPATE A LOT OF THE KIND OF FITNESS AND WELLNESS AREAS TO BE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING. SO IF YOU'RE ON A TREADMILL LOOKING OUT OVER THE THE OUTDOOR SPACES INTO THE PONDS, THERE WILL BE SOME REALLY GREAT VIEWS WE CAN CAPTURE IN THIS ORIENTATION.

ONE MORE THING I DIDN'T MENTION EARLIER. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THIS CREATES A LOT OF BOTH EAST AND WEST FACADE, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR HEATING AND COOLING AND JUST ALL THE EXPOSURE OF THE SUN. SO IT PROBABLY COULD HAVE HIGHER LIFE CYCLE COSTS JUST IN TERMS OF DEPENDING, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH GLAZING WE PUT ON, ON THOSE FACADES. AND JUST ONE MORE VIEW LOOKING FROM THE SOUTH FROM AN AERIAL PERSPECTIVE. OKAY, OPTION B AGAIN, SAME FOOTPRINT, BUT LOOKING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ON A DIFFERENT ORIENTATION. WE'VE ROTATED THE BUILDING EAST WEST NOW SO WE WILL NOT BE FACING LAKE. I'M SORRY LAKE FOREST IN THIS ORIENTATION, BUT THIS IS MORE SET UP LIKE THE CURRENT APEX WHERE YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE PARK AND YOU DON'T REALLY DISCOVER THE FRONT ENTRY FACADE UNTIL YOU KIND OF ROUND INTO THE PARKING LOT. WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THIS IS LESS EAST WESTERN EXPOSURE TO THE SUN. WE GET THE PARKING LOT TO THE FRONT DOOR, WHICH IS TO THE SOUTH, WHICH CREATES A LITTLE BIT MORE BUFFER FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDINGS. WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO SORT OF ORIENT THE FUTURE OUTDOOR AQUATICS AGAIN, WITH MORE VISIBILITY FROM THE MAIN STREET. AND WE THINK A LITTLE MORE PARKING ACCESS TO GET SOME FRONT DOOR ENTRANCE IN DIRECTLY INTO THE OUTDOOR AQUATICS. IT ALSO GIVES US THE ABILITY TO EXPAND FURTHER EAST INTO THE KIND OF PASSIVE AREAS WITHOUT BEING RESTRICTED BY THE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE NORTH SOUTH AREA. SO SOME OTHER VIEWS OF THAT. THERE IT IS ZOOMED IN. AND A VIEW THREE DIMENSIONALLY. AND THEN ONE MORE VIEW FROM THE SOUTH. SO HERE, I'LL SHOW THESE TO YOU SIDE BY SIDE. REALLY WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. WE'RE STILL CONSIDERING BOTH OF THESE OPTIONS WITH WITH STAFF NOTHING IS FINALIZED AT THIS POINT. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO PICK YOUR FAVORITE OPTION, BUT JUST WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR PREFERENCES AND ANY FEEDBACK THAT WE CAN TAKE AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE DESIGN. ANYBODY FEEL STRONGLY? ANYONE. I LIKE OPTION B. I'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED NORTH SOUTH ORIENTATION. I DON'T LIKE THE WESTERN AND EASTERN SUN COMING IN AND BLINDING EVERYBODY ON THE TREADMILL. IT'S JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE OF MINE, BUT NOT A HILL THAT I'LL DIE ON. MR. MAYOR, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. MUCH BETTER LAYOUT. I PREFER THAT OPTION AS WELL. SO OPTION B, THE BUILDING FACES WELL, WE'RE LOOKING AT A NORTHERN

[00:45:07]

YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE RED TRIANGLE. THAT WOULD BE WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER THE MAIN ENTRANCE. YEAH I AGREE WITH THAT. ANYONE ELSE? OTHER FEEDBACK STAFF. I AGREE WITH THAT. YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO. AMY. YOU'RE GOOD. I DON'T GET TO MAKE ESTHETIC DECISIONS. I DON'T LOOK AT ME. I'M FINE WITH THAT. I'M FINE WITH IT. OKAY. VERY GOOD. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND FEEDBACK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. NEXT ITEM 26-0772. DISCUSS

[26-0772 Discuss City Council Preferencing for 2026 Boards & Commissions Appointments]

AND AS PER POLICY, WE YOU DO HAVE THAT OPTION. THE RECOMMENDATION LISTED IN THIS LIST IS ALSO NOT SET IN STONE. SO YOU'RE NOT COMMITTED TO IT OR BOUND IN ANY WAY. AND IT'S SIMPLY JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHERE THINGS ARE AT THE MOMENT. AND AS YOU REVIEW THE LIST, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVED THE MOST NOMINATIONS ARE INCLUDED ON THE RECOMMENDATION LIST. GENERALLY, INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVE AT LEAST FOUR NOMINATIONS WERE PLACED ON THE LIST WHERE IT MADE SENSE AND WHEN A REPLACEMENT WAS APPROPRIATE. SO WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 18 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT WE HAVE TO REVIEW TODAY. SO I'LL MOVE THROUGH THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH MCKINNEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT POLICY CHANGE AFFECTING THESE TWO BOARDS, WE WILL NEED YOUR TOP TWO NOMINATIONS FOR EACH OF THESE BOARDS. ONCE WE RECEIVE THOSE NOMINATIONS, WE'LL COMPILE THOSE AND PROVIDE AN UPDATE AT THE NEXT UPCOMING MEETING. EDITH, SO LOOKING AT YOUR INFORMATION, YOU'VE GOT WHAT, CDC ON THE LEFT AND EDC ON THE RIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT EDC. YOU'VE GOT BOTH BOARD MEMBERS. YEAH, ON BOARD ON BOTH SIDES. DUPLICATED IT.

THAT'S THE SURPRISE, MR. MAYOR. OH, IT MAY NOT AFFECT THE PRESENTATION. TOTALLY. YEAH.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. MY MISTAKE. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. I'LL CORRECT THIS AND PROVIDE AN UPDATE AT THE NEXT MEETING WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION. THANK YOU. WHICH ONE? ALL THE NAMES ARE THE SAME. OH, YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FOR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE LEFT HAND COLUMN. THE CURRENT MEMBERS LISTED ARE ON THE CURRENT ROSTER. IT ALSO HAS NOTES WHETHER. WHO RECEIVED THE MOST POINTS AND WE HAVE THAT ON THE RIGHT AS ADDITIONAL PREFERENCE POINTS. SO. THESE ARE THE CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE MADE. AND YOU DON'T OF COURSE THIS PRESENTATION IS JUST TO SEE WHERE EVERYTHING

[00:50:02]

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS CONSENSUS TO REAPPOINT THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS. SO THAT IS LISTED UNDER THE NOMINATION. COMMUNITY GRANTS. WE DO HAVE. IT'S ALSO RECOMMENDED TO REAPPOINT THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS. AND THAT'S A CONSENSUS. SO WE LISTED THOSE UNDER THE NOMINATION FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION ADVISORY BOARD. WE DO HAVE AN ALTERNATE MEMBER THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO MOVE UP. SO THAT LEAVES THE VACANT SPACE FOR THAT ALTERNATE NOMINATION.

LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD. THERE'S ALSO CONSENSUS TO REAPPOINT THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS. MCKINNEY ARMED SERVICES MEMORIAL BOARD. ONE OF THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS WAS RECOMMENDED TO MOVE UP, AND THAT LEAVES A VACANT SPACE FOR NOMINATION AS AN ALTERNATE. THIS IS ANOTHER ALTERNATE ANOTHER BOARD WHOSE ALTERNATE WAS RECOMMENDED TO MOVE UP, AND IT LEAVES A VACANT SPACE FOR THEM TO NOMINATE. MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY. WE ALSO HAVE A CONSENSUS TO REAPPOINT THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS, AND THAT OPTION. MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION, ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, WAS ELECTED TO MOVE UP, AND IT LEAVES A VACANT POSITION FOR ONE OF THE ALTERNATES. FOR MAIN STREET. MAIN STREET IS ANOTHER BOARD THAT HAS A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL OR EXPERTISE THAT IS ENCOURAGED TO BE A PART OF THE BOARD. SO YOU CAN SEE WITH THE CURRENT MEMBERS THERE, THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT ARE ARE CONNECTED TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. AND FOR THIS ONE, WE DO HAVE A ALTERNATE WHO IS RECOMMENDED TO MOVE UP, AND THAT LEAVES A VACANT POSITION. FOR PARKS. WE HAVE TWO BOARD TWO BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE ALTERNATES AND WERE RECOMMENDED TO MOVE UP. SO THAT LEAVES US WITH TWO VACANT POSITIONS FOR NOMINEES. PLANNING AND ZONING. I DID WANT TO MAKE A NOTE OF THIS ONE. YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE TWO INCUMBENT MEMBERS WHO ARE NO LONGER SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT. THAT CAN BE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. EITHER THEY HAVE OTHER PRIORITIES OR. THEY JUST.

THEY'RE NOT SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT AT THIS TIME. SO AGAIN, WE HAVE ALTERNATES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED AS WELL TO MOVE UP. AND THAT LEAVES US WITH TWO VACANT POSITIONS. AND BISCUIT MCKINNEY WARD, THE CURRENT ALTERNATE WAS RECOMMENDED TO MOVE UP, BUT WE DID FILL THE VACANT POSITION THERE WITH ANOTHER CANDIDATE. SO THIS LIST, THIS RECOMMENDATION LIST IS COMPLETE. AGAIN FOR THE ONE BOARD. THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBER IS NOT SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT AT THIS TIME. SO IT LEAVES US WITH A AN OPEN SPOT FOR NOMINEE. NOW, EDITH, AND THIS MAY BE A BEN OR MARK QUESTION, BUT MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT NEEDED TO BE SOMEONE ON P AND Z, AS WE HAVE THERE, THAT WE HAVE TO APPOINT. IS THAT A FAIR

[00:55:04]
