Oct 05, 2026 Joint Meeting & City Council Work Session

GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S 3 P.M.. THIS IS THE JOINT SESSION AND IT'S A BIG ONE.

[00:00:06]

WE DO HAVE A QUORUM OF THE CITY COUNCIL. WOULD YOU TWO LIKE TO ARM WRESTLE OVER WHO GOES FIRST? I'LL JUMP IN. THAT'S FINE. WE HAVE A QUORUM OF MCKINNEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HERE AS WELL AT THIS JOINT MEETING.

AS WELL, MCKINNEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAS A QUORUM, AND WE'LL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER ON THEIR BEHALF.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH. WE WILL TURN IT OVER TO CITY MANAGER GRIMES TO TAKE IT FROM HERE.

[26-0935 Consider/Discuss/Act on a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager, MEDC President, and MCDC President to Execute an Amended and Restated Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement by and among City of McKinney, Texas, McKinney Economic Development Corporation, McKinney Community Development Corporation, and VENU Holding Corporation, successor-by-name-change to Notes Live, Inc. (“VENU”) and a related Consent, Recognition, Subordination, Nondisturbance, and Development Agreement Protection Agreement]

JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE THIS ITEM AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO ATTORNEY, HAUSER, WHO WILL WALK YOU THROUGH SOME MORE OF THE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THIS AMENDATORY AGREEMENT IS.

WE'LL BE DISCUSSING, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME TIME FOR BOB MUD.

BOB IS WITH VENU, AND BOB WILL COME AND MAKE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

AND AND THEN I THINK WE'LL BREAK INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, MR. MAYOR. SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH VENU SUNSET AMPHITHEATER.

BOY, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO NOW.

AND WE, THEY ARE MOVING ALONG. CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY, MR. MUD, WHO WILL TELL YOU LATER, BUT THERE ARE ABOUT 70% COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.

OKAY. MR. MAYOR, WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT, SO I WILL PAUSE MY COMMENTS AND ALLOW MR. MAYOR TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. IF YOU IF YOU MADE THE EFFORT TO BE HERE AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS JOINT SESSION REGARDING AN AGENDA ITEM, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM. TINNITUS. NO ONE HAS SIGNED UP.

THAT BEING THE CASE, WE WILL GO BACK TO CITY MANAGER GRIMES.

I FORGOT WHAT I WAS SAYING, BUT I'LL START. I'M JUST KIDDING. SO THE PROJECT'S MOVING ALONG NICELY THERE AT ABOUT 70% COMPLETION NOW.

MR. MUDD WILL EXPAND ON THAT. THE PROJECT IS LARGER IN SCOPE.

ORIGINALLY, IT WAS ABOUT A $220 MILLION PROJECT.

NOW WE'RE AT ABOUT $330 MILLION. MR. MUDD CAN EXPLAIN SOME OF THAT AS WELL, BUT THEY'VE ADDED SCOPE TO THE PROJECT.

BUT WE THINK FOR THE RIGHT REASON, WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN AN EVEN BETTER PROJECT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THEY DO HAVE SOME FINANCING CHALLENGES, AND MR. MODE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY IS TO HELP IN OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH VENUE IS TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE THE FINANCING THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT ON TIME. AND THAT IS REALLY THE GENESIS OF THIS ENTIRE MEETING.

SO WITH THAT, MR. MAYOR, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ATTORNEY HAUSER, WHO CAN WALK YOU THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

THANK YOU SIR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE TWO ITEMS ARE CONNECTED BECAUSE OF WHAT MR. GRIMES SAID. THERE IS A FINANCING EVENT THAT'S GOING TO BE REVIEWED.

BUT BEFORE ALL OF THAT OCCURRED, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT.

AS YOU SAID, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD NOW. AND AS FOR AMENDMENTS TO IT, AND THIS WOULD BE THE FIFTH.

AND SO AS WE DO IN LARGE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS LIKE THIS, FOR INSTANCE, WE DID THIS WITH TRINITY FALLS.

AT ONE POINT, YOU YOU TAKE ALL THE AMENDMENTS AND YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER INTO ONE DOCUMENT.

SO THERE'S EASE OF USE BY BOTH THE OWNER, DEVELOPER AND THE CITY STAFF WHO HAVE TO MANAGE A FAIRLY LENGTHY DOCUMENT.

SO WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT WITH MR. MUDD AND VENUE OVER THE LAST 7 OR 8 MONTHS. AND THEN ONCE THE VENUE FINANCING REQUESTS CAME UP, WE WE WOULD FOLD THOSE TOGETHER. AND SO THESE TWO ARE TIED TOGETHER IN THAT THE APPROVALS OF THE FINANCING WILL REQUIRE THE RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THE OBLIGATIONS THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN THE CITY, THE NEW OWNER LEASEBACK ENTITY STORE CAPITAL AND THE VENUE.

SO THOSE ARE KIND OF HOW THEY WORK. THEY'RE LENGTHY AGREEMENTS.

SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE AN OVERVIEW AND. MR..

MR. MUDD WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HIS PROJECT AND WHERE IT'S GOING FROM HERE.

OKAY. MR. MUDD. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, I APPRECIATE IT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY. I JUST WANTED TO REALLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND GIVE THREE AREAS OF UPDATE.

I WANT TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ON WHERE THE PROJECT EXISTS.

TODAY. I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE MADE, GIVEN SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST.

AND THEN THE THIRD PIECE THAT I WANT TO TOUCH BASE ON IS THE REQUEST THAT HAS BEEN MADE TO THE CITY, AND WHY WE THINK IT'S BENEFICIAL FOR BOTH PARTIES TO PROCEED.

[00:05:02]

AND SO AS A AS FROM A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU GO DOWN ONE, 21 AND 75, YOU WILL QUICKLY SEE THAT IT'S VERY ACTIVE.

WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 200 TO 225 PEOPLE ON SITE TODAY.

I WAS ON SITE FIRST THING THIS MORNING AND IT WAS IT WAS VERY ACTIVE.

WE ARE WORKING ON A SCHEDULE THAT PUTS US DEPENDING ON WEATHER, BUT SOMEWHERE AROUND A TCO OF APRIL, THE FIRST WE'VE GOT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY, A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SET OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE MANAGING OFF SITE AT INTERSECTIONS, TURNING LANES, SIGNAGE, LIGHTS, SECURITY. AND THAT IS ON TRACK AS WELL THROUGH THAT PARTNERSHIP.

THE GARAGE TODAY, WHICH IS A 5000 SLOT PARKING GARAGE, IS SITTING AT ABOUT 90%, COMPLETE WITH THE AMPHITHEATER ALL COSTS IN PUSHING THE 70% COMPLETION. THE ENTIRE BUDGET IS BOUGHT OUT, ESSENTIALLY, AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE RISKS THAT COME WITH DATA CENTERS AND OTHER PIECES OF STEEL AND ARCHITECTURE.

AND SO WE HAVE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT GIVEN OUR BUDGET, AND IT IS ALL UNDER A GMP CONTRACT, WHICH FIXED THOSE COSTS. AND WE'VE DONE ABOUT 75% OF THE BUYOUT CONTRACTING ON OUR ON OUR FIXED FURNITURE FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT AS WELL.

ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS IS OFTENTIMES IT TAKES WITH THESE TYPES OF VENUES, IT TAKES WELL INTO AFTER THE OPENING TO SELL THE SUITES.

ONE OF THE REALLY NEAT THINGS ABOUT WHAT'S GONE ON IN MCKINNEY IS WE'RE WELL OVER 90% OF THE SUITES SOLD.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE DISTRIBUTION OF THAT, THE PREDOMINANCE ARE CITIZENS HERE BASED IN AND AROUND THE NORTH TEXAS AREA.

AND SO WE'VE GOT A BROAD BASE OF SUPPORT, A BROAD BASE OF INTEREST, AND A BROAD BASE OF INVESTORS.

OF INVESTORS. THE IMPACT OF OUR CHANGES. AS WE'VE PROGRESSED AND THE INDUSTRY HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE WE FIRST STARTED THESE DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS DONE WITH LIVE NATION AND WHAT WE'VE STARTED TO SEE MANIFEST WITH LARGER VENUES SUCH AS THE SPHERE, WE SAW OPPORTUNITY. SO IN OUR ORIGINAL COMMITMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IT WAS $220 MILLION, AS PAUL HAD MENTIONED. OUR COST TODAY IS RIGHT AT 334 MILLION.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE DID THAT DROVE THOSE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS.

WE WANTED TO HAVE A MULTI CONFIGURATION. ANYTIME YOU'RE PROGRAMING A TALENT LIKE THIS, HAVING A SINGLE CONFIGURATION REALLY LIMITS THE POOL OF CONTENT THAT YOU CAN PROGRAM THE VENUE WITH. AND WE ENDED UP WANTING TO BREAK THIS INTO 5000, 8000, 12,000 IN THE FULL 20, WHICH GIVES US A MUCH HIGHER CAPACITY FOR UTILIZATION.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE NEEDED TO BRING ALL OF OUR PREMIUM SEATING DOWN INTO OUR BASE CONFIGURATION.

AND SO THE ORIGINAL RENDERINGS, IF YOU WILL REMEMBER, HAD THE EIGHTMAN CLUB ON TOP.

WE'VE NOW TUCKED IT DOWN INTO THE PRIMARY CENTER OF THE BOWL.

THE NEXT THING THAT WE DID IS WE WANTED TO MAKE THIS MULTI SEASONAL. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH DOS EQUIS, DOS EQUIS OPERATES PREDOMINANTLY BETWEEN APRIL AND OCTOBER.

IT DOES NOT HAVE A COVERING OF A ROOF, WHICH PUTS IT AT RISK OF WEATHER.

AND THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING IN THE WINTER RELATED TO PROGRAMING WITH OUR CANOPY AND THE ADDITION OF WHAT WE CALL THE WIND AND SOUND WALLS.

WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE 5000 SEATS AND THROUGH RADIANT HEATING PROVIDE A VENUE THAT OPERATES IN THAT HIP SEASON, OCTOBER TO APRIL WITH A FULL CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM.

THE FINAL PIECE IS OMNI CONTENT. IF YOU WATCH IT, WATCH WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE SPHERE.

WHAT AI IS DOING TO LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND TO PROGRAMED ENTERTAINMENT.

WE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO AN OUTDOOR VENUE PERSPECTIVE.

AND SO WE'VE MADE A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT THAT WE BELIEVE ULTIMATELY IS GOING TO TO DRIVE ENTERTAINMENT IN THIS REGION AND REVENUE.

OUR ORIGINAL PROJECTIONS WERE ABOUT 60 SHOWS PER YEAR.

WE BELIEVE THAT BETWEEN 35 AND 40% CAN BE IN ADDITION TO JUST LIVE MUSIC, WHERE WE CAN INCORPORATE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPACITY AND MOVE UP TO 100 SHOWS PER YEAR. OUR ORIGINAL ESTIMATES FOR REVENUE WERE 98 MILLION, AND WE'RE SEEING ABOUT A 67% INCREASE WITH THESE ADDITIONAL SHOWS TAKING US TO 164 MILLION. THIS WILL BE THE MOST ADVANCED OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT VENUE IN THE WORLD.

WE ARE CONFIDENT, GIVEN THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN FROM THE LIKES OF BILLBOARD, ROLLING STONE AND VENUE, THE MAGAZINE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEN AS THE MOST CUTTING EDGE VENUE IN ALL OF THE UNITED STATES AND IN MANY CASES, ALL OVER THE WORLD. SO WHAT IS THE REQUEST? WHEN WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED THIS PROJECT.

THERE WERE TWO PIECES OF THE OVERALL FUNDING PLAN.

ONE WAS EQUITY AND THAT WAS AT 25 MILLION. WE HAVE 44 MILLION INVESTED IN OUR DIRECT EQUITY TODAY.

THE OTHER PIECE WAS A DELAWARE STATUTORY TRUST THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE LAND.

AND OVER A NUMBER OF FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT REASONS, THAT PIECE HAS HAS NOT MANIFESTED AS WE ANTICIPATED.

[00:10:05]

WE KEEP CONTROL. WE USE THOSE FUNDS TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN WE HAVE A BUYBACK SOMEWHERE AROUND JUNE OR JULY, TIME AFTER WE OPEN, WHEREBY WE'LL BE ABLE TO REPURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

AND SO OUR REQUEST TO THE CITY HAS BEEN TO, TO MOVE THE LIEN FROM THE FROM THE GROUND INTO THE T.

AND IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CONCESSIONS AND BOTH FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE.

FROM A SECURITY PERSPECTIVE, WE APPRECIATE THAT CONSIDERATION AND YOUR CONSIDERATION HERE TODAY.

IT'S BEEN A GREAT PARTNERSHIP AND WE'RE THANKFUL. THANK YOU, MR. MUDD. ARE THERE QUESTIONS? ANYONE. COUNCIL. CHAIRMAN FULLER, ANYTHING FROM YOUR BOARD? ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? I WOULD JUST MAKE A STATEMENT THAT, AGAIN, WE WERE EXPECTING A $220 MILLION INVESTMENT.

YOU'RE MAKING A $330 MILLION INVESTMENT. WE'RE EXPECTING 60 SHOWS A YEAR.

IT'LL BE OVER 100. WE WERE EXPECTING A SEASON.

NOW WE HAVE YEAR ROUND. AND THE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN HEIGHTENED DRAMATICALLY FROM WHAT WAS FIRST DISCUSSED.

AND YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY MORE MONEY FROM THE CITY.

YOU'RE MADE THIS INVESTMENT. SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO IT OPENING.

THANK YOU. MR. HENSLEY. ANY QUESTIONS? SO I'VE BEEN TO THE SPHERE.

SO COULD YOU EXPLAIN? I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO GO TO A SHOW AT THE SPHERE.

SO COULD YOU EXPLAIN THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF HOW IT MIGHT COMPARE TO WHAT'S IN LAS VEGAS TODAY? YES, SIR. SO LAS VEGAS IS IS WHAT'S CONSIDERED IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT.

THERE ARE UNIQUE ASPECTS TO THE SOUND SYSTEM THAT INTEGRATE THE LIGHTS.

IT'S NOT JUST A PROPAGATED SOUND SYSTEM FROM THE FRONT OF THE STAGE.

SO THE FIRST PIECE IS WE'VE GOT A FULLY IMMERSIVE SOUND SYSTEM THAT ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE VENUE.

IT ALSO REDUCES THE BLEED FOOTPRINT OUTSIDE OF THE VENUE BECAUSE IT COULD BE MORE DIRECTIONAL.

THE SECOND PIECE IS IF YOU IF YOU DRIVE PAST TODAY ON I-75 SIDE, YOU WILL SEE THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST WIND WALL THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE STAGE.

SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR STAGE WRAP COMING ALL THE WAY UP PAST THE FIRE PIT SUITES THAT WILL BE FLOOR TO CEILING, FULLY INTEGRATED LED THAT IS INTEGRATED WITH THE CEILING CANOPY AS WELL.

AND IT'S AT A LEVEL WHERE, AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU COULD PUT A PRODUCTION ON WHERE.

BEYONCE IS ON THE STAGE AND WHITNEY HOUSTON IS LIVE SINGING WITH HER.

AND BECAUSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE WAY THAT IT'S INTEGRATED WITH THE LIVE PERFORMANCE, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE AS YOU'VE EXPERIENCED THE SPHERE, WHETHER IT'S BEEN THE EAGLES OR, OR SOME OF THE OTHER PIECES WITH THE WITH THE SPHERE.

35% OF THEIR PROGRAMING IS IN ADDITION TO LIVE MUSIC.

SO IT PRESENTS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES THERE AS WELL. YEAH, THAT WAS MY FOLLOW ON. SO COULD YOU ENVISION A PRODUCTION LIKE THE WIZARD OF OZ PLAYING AT THIS VENUE? ABSOLUTELY. AND IN FACT, WE HAVE INVESTED IN THOSE TYPES OF PRODUCTIONS, AND IT'S VERY EFFICIENT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE IT'S NOT RELIANT UPON TOURS AND THE COORDINATION OF TOURS. SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO COME IN WITH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY 2 OR 3 NIGHTS, AND IT'S AT A PRODUCTION COST THAT'S MUCH LOWER.

SO WE CAN BRING A DIFFERENT STYLE OF ENTERTAINMENT AT A DIFFERENT PRICE POINT.

THAT'S AWESOME. THAT'S AWESOME. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE THAT DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE.

EVERYBODY GOOD? WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS TO RECESS INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[JOINT EXECUTIVE SESSION]

CORRECT, MR. HAUSER, SO WE SHOULD BE OUT IN A NOT SHORT ORDER, BUT A DECENT TIME.

NOT TOO LONG. WE HAVE A FULL AFTERNOON, SO MAKE A POINT.

BUT WHAT WE'LL DO, AS CITY MANAGER GRIMES POINTED OUT, IS COME OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION AS A GROUP AND THEN TAKE ACTION ON ANYTHING WE DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION ON, AND THEN WE WILL ADJOURN THE JOINT MEETING AND THEN CONTINUE OUR WORK SESSION.

WE'LL JUST GO INTO THAT. SO IF YOU'RE HERE FOR THE WORK SESSION, EITHER FOR A PRESENTATION OR SOMETHING ELSE, JUST SIT TIGHT BECAUSE WE'LL ROLL RIGHT INTO THAT WHEN WE GET THROUGH.

SO WITH THAT IT IS 315. WE WILL RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

OKAY. IT'S 4:02 P.M. WE ARE BACK OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION BACK INTO OPEN SESSION.

[ACTION ON JOINT EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEMS]

[00:15:04]

[00:25:31]

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A CANDY WRAPPER. OKAY, NEXT ITEM IS 260937

[26-0937 Presentation on the McKinney Neighborhood Heroes Program]

CHIEF CALDWELL.

SO. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

CITY MANAGER, JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR MCKINNEY NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM.

IF YOU REMEMBER, THAT'S THE AED PROGRAM. AND WE RECEIVED A SUBSTANTIAL DONATION FROM BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE HEART HOSPITAL TO START THIS PROGRAM OR KICK START THE PROGRAM.

AND I JUST WANT TO HAVE STAFF JUST GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT.

AND WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF SPECIAL GUESTS WITH US TODAY, SOME ACTUAL MCKINNEY NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES, AND THEY WANT TO TALK TO YOU AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO BATTALION CHIEF BEN JONES. MR. MAYOR, MR. GRIMES, CITY COUNCIL, THANKS FOR HAVING ME TODAY.

I'M EXCITED TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT WITH YOU ON WHERE WE ARE IN OUR PROGRESS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM.

SO IN MAY OF 2026, WE ISSUED OUR FIRST TEN AEDS TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, WE HAD OUR VERY FIRST RESPONDER RESPOND TO A CARDIAC ARREST HERE IN MCKINNEY.

IT WASN'T THE OUTCOME THAT WE WANTED, BUT THAT EVENT ALONE PROVED TO US THAT THIS PROGRAM IS WORKING.

IN JULY, BAYLOR HEART GAVE US A SUBSTANTIAL DONATION TO HELP PROPEL THIS PROGRAM FORWARD.

IT ALLOWED US TO PURCHASE 150 AEDS TO WHICH THE EMS DIVISION HAS BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY TO, TO GET THOSE OUT INTO THE HANDS OF THE PUBLIC.

OVER SIX TRAINING EVENTS. DO I HAVE A PRESENTATION? NO. OKAY. THAT'S ON ME. WE HAD, WE HAD SIX TRAINING EVENTS WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET 102 OF THOSE AEDS OUT INTO THE PUBLIC. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THAT WE'RE MAKING THAT SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS.

OUR GOAL IS OVER 400 EVS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE 198 AEDS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT ARE PUBLIC ACCESS, WHETHER THEY'RE AT THE LIBRARIES AND THE PARKS AND THE POLICE CARS.

SO OVERALL, OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE CLOSE TO 600 AROUND THE CITY.

BUT RIGHT NOW OUR VISION IS TO MAKE MCKINNEY A FOUR MINUTE CITY.

AND THAT ALLOWS THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE CITY, YOU'RE NO MORE THAN FOUR MINUTES AWAY FROM A TRAINED NEIGHBORHOOD HERO WHO CAN ARRIVE, PERFORM CPR, AND BE ADEQUATELY EQUIPPED WITH WITH AN AED TO PROVIDE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE UNTIL OUR TRAINED PROFESSIONALS CAN GET THERE.

BUT BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS PROGRAM HAS COME TO MEAN TO US I WANT TO JUST SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED ALONG THIS WAY.

SO OUR INITIAL GOAL, OUR INITIAL INTENT WAS TO SAVE LIVES, RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO DO. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF YOU MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND GETTING HANDS ON THE CHEST EARLY, EARLY DEFIBRILLATION. EVERY MINUTE A CARDIAC ARREST PATIENT GOES WITHOUT INTERVENTIONS, THEY LOSE 10% CHANCE OF SURVIVABILITY.

BUT WHAT WE'VE LEARNED THROUGH ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER ASPECT THAT WE DIDN'T THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE.

AND THAT IS THAT THERE'S REAL PEOPLE, REAL NEIGHBORS, REAL HEROES THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED.

WE HAD, AS A HERO MAY RESPOND TO A CARDIAC ARREST.

THEY MAY NOT ULTIMATELY BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME, BUT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MOMENTS FOR THAT FAMILY TO SAY THEIR GOODBYES.

IT MIGHT PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL FEW MOMENTS OF VIABILITY FOR THE ORGAN.

SO THAT INDIVIDUAL CAN BE AN ORGAN DONOR TO AFFECT SOMEBODY THAT THEY MAY NEVER KNOW.

THESE THINGS, THESE MOMENTS, THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO SHOW UP ON A SURVIVAL STATISTIC.

[00:30:02]

SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM IS TRULY MEASURING OUR ABILITY AS A COMMUNITY TO TAKE CARE OF ONE ANOTHER.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES WITH ME TODAY, AND I'LL INTRODUCE THEM TO YOU IN JUST A MOMENT.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR THEIR STORIES ON HOW THEY'VE COME TOGETHER AS A NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT THIS PROGRAM HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER FIREFIGHTERS, PARAMEDICS, NURSES, POLICE OFFICERS, MOMS, DADS, COACHES JUST REGULAR CITIZENS ACROSS THE CITY THAT ARE WILLING TO STAND UP AND SAY, I'M HERE TO HELP IF YOU NEED ME. AND THEY'RE HELPING THEIR NEIGHBORS.

THEY'RE HELPING THE PEOPLE THAT SURROUND THEM EVERY DAY.

SO WE'RE 102 STRONG, 102 HEROES STRONG TODAY, AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO INTRODUCE ONE OF OUR VERY FIRST NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES, ASHLEY HORNE.

IF YOU COME UP AND SHE'S GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR HER TO BE PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HERO PROGRAM.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I HAVE HAD THE VERY GREAT PRIVILEGE OF LIVING IN MCKINNEY SINCE I WAS 18 MONTHS OLD.

WOW. SO TO ME, THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY AREN'T STRANGERS.

THEY ARE. THEY ARE MY EXTENDED FAMILY. THEY'RE PEOPLE THAT I VERY MUCH CARE ABOUT.

WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM, IT FELT LIKE A MEANINGFUL WAY TO HELP MY FAMILY OUT AND TO HOPEFULLY MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE ON ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DAYS.

AND THAT'S WHY I VOLUNTEERED TO CARRY AN AED THIS PAST MAY.

THE ALERT WENT OFF ON MY PHONE. IT WAS A CALL FOR HELP.

I JUMPED OUT OF MY BED AND WAS THROUGH A NEIGHBOR'S DOOR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES TO PROVIDE CARE UNTIL OUR INCREDIBLE FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVES.

WHILE THE OUTCOME OF THAT WAS NOT WHAT WE PRAYED FOR, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT PROVIDED THE THEM THE BEST POSSIBLE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AND THE QUICKEST POSSIBLE CARE THEY COULD THEY COULD HAVE.

BEYOND THAT, I REALLY HOPE THAT THAT FAMILY FELT LOVED AND SUPPORTED IN THAT MOMENT BY A NEIGHBOR THEY HAD NEVER MET BEFORE.

WE HAVE 100 AIDES AND VOLUNTEERS HANDS ACROSS MCKINNEY, WHICH IS AWESOME AND INCREDIBLE.

BUT I URGE YOU TO PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM WITH THE FUNDS AND MORE VOLUNTEERS, SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT EVERY RESIDENT CAN RECEIVE THAT LIFE SAVING CARE IN UNDER FOUR MINUTES, ESPECIALLY THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN MORE RURAL AREAS THAT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO GET TO.

OUR FIRST RESPONDERS ARE ABSOLUTELY THE HEROES EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL TO BE A VERY SMALL PART IN HELPING THEM TAKE CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HER STORY IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHY WE CREATED THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM, NOT SIMPLY TO PLACE AEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY, BUT TO PUT PEOPLE IN POSITIONS WHERE THEY CAN HELP.

I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU ONE FROM A MISS JENNIFER PENNEY.

SHE'S UNABLE TO BE WITH US TODAY. MISS PENNEY HAD THE HAD ONLY RECENTLY COMPLETED HER NEIGHBORHOOD HERO TRAINING AND RECEIVED HER AED LATE IN THE SUMMER WHEN SHE RECEIVED AN ALERT FOR A CARDIAC ARREST. JUST LESS THAN A BLOCK AND A HALF FROM HER HOME, RIGHT IN HER OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.

SHE IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED AND BEGAN PROVIDING CPR BEFORE OUR CREWS ARRIVED.

HER QUICK ACTION HELPED OUR CREWS REGAIN A PULSE, ALLOWING THAT PATIENT TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE AGAIN, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE OUTCOME THAT WE WANTED, BUT WHAT THIS ALLOWED WAS VALUABLE TIME FOR VALUABLE TIME FOR THAT FAMILY TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL, TO SAY THEIR GOODBYES TO THAT INDIVIDUAL AND TO US.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING, MISS PENNEY EVEN DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER NEIGHBOR THAT SHE NEVER TALKED TO BEFORE. SHE WAS ABLE TO GO OVER AND PROVIDE SOME SERVICE TO HER AND HELP HER OUT IN WAYS THAT SHE NEVER EVEN IMAGINED.

BUT THAT'S PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES THAT YOU WON'T FIND ON THESE SURVIVAL STATISTICS. ITS HUMANITY, ITS KINDNESS, ITS NEIGHBORS TAKING CARE OF NEIGHBORS.

AND THAT'S WHAT EXACTLY WHAT THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CREATED TO DO.

SO OUR NEXT SPEAKER, ONE MORE THAT'S GOING TO SHARE HER EXPERIENCES WITH YOU IS CHARIS BARNES.

SHE IS OUR 100TH NEIGHBORHOOD HERO. AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY FITTING BECAUSE SHE'S A NURSE AT BAYLOR AT BAYLOR HOSPITAL.

AND SO THIS IS WE DIDN'T MANIPULATE NUMBERS. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE HER TO BE AND IT WORKED OUT PERFECT.

SO I'D LIKE TO INVITE CHERISE TO COME UP AND SHARE WITH A LITTLE BIT WITH US.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY HERE TO SPEAK TODAY.

I VOLUNTEERED FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES PROGRAM BECAUSE I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE DIFFERENCE THAT EARLY INTERVENTION CAN MAKE WHEN SOMEONE'S LIFE IS ON THE LINE.

I'VE BEEN A NURSE FOR 23 YEARS, 17 IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND THE LAST FOUR MANAGING THE STROKE AND HEART ATTACK PROGRAMS AT BAYLOR,

[00:35:05]

I'VE ATTENDED THE LIGHTHOUSE HANDS ON CPR EVENTS AND WITNESSED THE POWERFUL IMPACT THAT TEACHING THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS HOW TO RECOGNIZE AN EMERGENCY AND RESPOND IN CONFIDENCE.

IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO CPR SURVIVORS WHO UTILIZED BYSTANDER CPR WHO LIVED WITHIN TWO MILES OF MY OWN HOME.

THOSE ARE NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE SAVED BECAUSE SOMEONE STEPPED UP AND TOOK ACTION.

WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, I FELT CALLED TO PARTICIPATE. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL, EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITY, AND HELP SAVE LIVES. I'M HONORED TO BE PART OF THE INITIATIVE THAT WILL HELP MCKINNEY A SAFER PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO LIVE.

AND THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANCE TO GIVE BACK. THANK YOU.

SO IN CLOSING, I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS, FIRST OF ALL, MY GRATITUDE FOR THE SUPPORT.

IT'S BEEN GREAT. IT'S BEEN WE'VE HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE REACHING OUT.

IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC TO SEE. BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK FOR US TO DO.

AND THAT'S OUR GOAL IS WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO POWER THROUGH UNTIL WE REACH OUR GOAL OF 400 AEDS.

WE'RE YOU'LL SEE US ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU'LL SEE US ON DIFFERENT VIDEOS.

YOU'LL SEE US MEDIA AND AD CAMPAIGNS, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE TRULY BELIEVE IN, NOT BECAUSE IT'S A, IT'S A FEATHER IN THE CAP OR IT MAKES MCKINNEY LOOK GOOD BECAUSE IT TRULY IS AFFECTING PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS JOB IS ALL ABOUT, IS HELPING PEOPLE AND AFFECTING LIVES. WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO CHALLENGE EACH ONE OF YOU OR ANYONE IN THIS ROOM, IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY TO GET CPR TRAINED. IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY, JOIN ONE OF OUR READY TO REACT CLASSES.

ONE OF OUR HANDS ONLY CPR COURSES THAT WE HOST EVERY MONTH AND BECOME A NEIGHBORHOOD HERO.

HAVE AN AED IN YOUR HOME. HAVE HAVE AN AED READILY AVAILABLE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. UNFORTUNATELY I MISSED THE MARK AND DIDN'T GET MY PRESENTATION IN TIME, BUT I'VE GOT A MAP THAT LAYS OUT THESE 102 AEDS ACROSS THE CITY, AND IT IS IMPRESSIVE TO SEE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN WE HAVE 400 ON THERE.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT MAP WITH YOU GUYS, TEACH WITH EACH ONE OF YOU, JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE A VISUAL TO SEE WHERE IT'S AT.

AND WE'RE USING THAT MAP TO STEER POINTED. EFFORTS TO HELP RECRUIT PEOPLE IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY.

SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING. CHIEF, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? YES, PLEASE. IF SOMEONE WAS INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS, WHO WOULD THEY CONTACT? MYSELF OR ON ON OUR MCKINNEY FIRE ORG.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU CHIEF.

WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. BY THE WAY, BACK UP, BACK UP.

OKAY. OKAY. NEXT ITEM. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ANY WORK SESSION ITEM.

ANYONE HERE THAT HAS SIGNED UP TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON A WORK SESSION? NONE. OKAY, THEN WE'LL MOVE TO OUR 6:00 AGENDA.

[DISCUSS AGENDA ITEMS for the City Council Regular Meeting to be held on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.]

THIS IS A NOISE ORDINANCE.

MICHAEL, IF YOU COULD GIVE US JUST KIND OF A SUMMARY OF, OF WHAT WE HAVE NOW AND THEN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO.

YEAH. BRIEF BRIEF RUNDOWN. SO RIGHT NOW THE NOISE ORDINANCE HAS A VARIANCE SECTION, WHICH BASICALLY ALLOWS ANYONE TO ASK FOR A VARIANCE FROM ANY PROVISION OF THE NOISE ORDINANCE. RECENTLY, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF FOLKS REQUESTING VARIANCES FOR CONSTRUCTION HOURS.

THEY DON'T CURRENTLY FIT INTO THE ALLOWANCES CURRENTLY ALLOWED BY CODE.

SO WHAT WE'RE MODIFYING RIGHT NOW UNDER THE ORDINANCE, EVERY TIME SOMEBODY WANTS A CONSTRUCTION VARIANCE, THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE POLICE CHIEF. HE HAS TO DELEGATE IT TO ME.

AND THEN I WORK WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

IF THERE'S AN APPEAL, WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS CREATING A NEW PROCESS FOR THOSE CONSTRUCTION NOISE ORDINANCES OR CONSTRUCTION VARIANCES WILL COME DIRECTLY TO ME, SAVING MORE TIME, MAKING THE PROCESS MORE EFFICIENTLY OR MORE EFFICIENT.

MOREOVER, RIGHT NOW, IF THERE'S AN APPEAL TO ONE OF THE VARIANCES, LET'S SAY THAT I CAN'T APPROVE THAT VARIANCE OR DON'T SUPPORT IT RIGHT NOW.

IT REQUIRES THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE TO HOLD A HEARING UNDER THE NEW ORDINANCE OR THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

THAT HEARING WOULD BE OPTIONAL ONLY IF THE APPLICANT WANTED THAT.

[00:40:03]

THERE IS. WILL THERE STILL BE IN THE NEW. STILL WILL BE.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, INSTEAD OF THAT HEARING BEING MANDATORY IN FRONT OF THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, IT'S ONLY IF THE APPLICANT REQUESTS IT. OKAY.

VERY GOOD. YES, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT ITEM 26-0949.

THIS IS AMENDING THE BUDGET FOR THE BONNIE WINK SEWER LIFT STATION. FOUR NINE.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M GOING TO GET TWO OF US. BRIAN, CAN YOU GIVE US A SUMMARY OF JUST WHAT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE? SURE. SO THE LIFT STATION AT THE BONNY WIND PARK IS CURRENTLY MANAGED BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

AND SO WE HAVE SOME UPGRADES THAT WE WANT TO MAKE TO THAT LIFT STATION IN ORDER TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY FOR THAT LIFT STATION.

AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS TO BRING THAT INTO THE SCADA SYSTEM, THAT WHERE WE OPERATE OUR PUMP STATIONS AND LIFT STATIONS, AND THEN FROM THERE, PUBLIC WORKS WILL BE MONITORING AND MANAGING THAT LIFT STATION IN ORDER TO INCREASE RELIABILITY.

VERY GOOD. AMY, YOU WALKED UP WITH HIM. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? NO, I DO NOT. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT IS. THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION. DOWNTOWN SPACES.

THIS IS 260951.

YES, SIR. MR. MAYOR. SO IS IT AS SIMPLE AS IT LOOKS? JUST A ONE YEAR EXTENSION? YES, SIR. UNDER THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. AND THIS EXTENDS THE CURRENT ORDINANCE THAT WE PASSED LAST YEAR ON, WHERE YOU CAN AND CAN'T LAY DOWN AND SLEEP IN DOWNTOWN AREAS. THAT'S CORRECT. WE'VE GOT THE TWO ORDINANCES. ONE IS PUBLIC SPACES IN IN DOWNTOWN.

THE OTHER IS THE NO CAMPING, WHICH IS CITYWIDE.

THE PROPOSED ORDINANCES ARE JUST A STRAIGHT ONE YEAR EXTENSION THAT WILL ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE THE BETTER TOGETHER INITIATIVE.

AND ANY CHANGES IN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT WANT TO PURSUE.

SO VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

NEXT ITEM 260953. THIS IS RESCINDING ITEM ORDINANCE 2026-04-035 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

THIS IS MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. SO. KEN. HELEN? YES, SIR. MR. MAYOR. SO WE'RE SENDING AN ORDINANCE THAT CURRENTLY DOES WHAT? AND WILL SOON TO NO LONGER DO. THE CURRENT ORDINANCE WAS A BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT MOVED.

I BELIEVE IT WAS $2.6 MILLION OR. NO, IT WAS $1.6 MILLION FROM TRS TO OVER TO THE AIRPORT.

AND THAT WAS IN SUPPORT OF A PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM.

AND SO WE'RE JUST MOVING IT BACK OVER TO TRS TWO TO ALLOW THEM TO ACTUALLY RUN AND COORDINATE THAT PROGRAM, BECAUSE THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE BEHIND TRS TWO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. NEXT ITEM 0954. THIS IS A AN AMENDED AN AGREEMENT WITH DART TO PROVIDE MICROTRANSIT SERVICES. EXCUSE ME. MARGARET.

GOOD AFTERNOON. SO THIS AGREEMENT DOES WHAT, MARGARET.

IT EXTENDS OUR CURRENT ILA WITH DART FOR ONE YEAR.

IN THAT CURRENT AGREEMENT. DOES WHAT PROVIDES FOR PROVIDING MICROTRANSIT SERVICES.

YES. AND THOSE ARE WHAT THROUGH OUR COLLIN COUNTY TRANSIT PROGRAM.

SO WE PROVIDE SUBSIDIZED ON DEMAND RIDES FOR SENIORS, LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS, AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. MARGARET. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE ONCE THIS IS APPROVED, WE WILL VERY SHORTLY GO OUT FOR RFQ FOR WHAT WE WIND UP DOING NEXT YEAR.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF A BRIDGE TO WHAT WE WHERE WE GO FROM HERE.

IS THAT FAIR? YES. AND I BELIEVE WE'LL BE DOING THAT IN THE SPRING.

SO NOT NECESSARILY THAT SHORTLY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MARGARET. NEXT ITEM 260957. CONTRACT TO FOR FORENSIC SERVICES.

WITH MCKINNEY PD. GOOD AFTERNOON. MAYOR.

[00:45:10]

WE'VE HAD ARMSTRONG LABS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND WE PRIMARILY USE THEM TO TEST THE CONCENTRATION OF OUR THC LEVELS FOR LIKE ANY SORT OF NARCOTICS CASE THAT DPS CAN'T HANDLE. WE'LL SEND IT TO DPS OR EXCUSE ME, TO ARMSTRONG LABS.

ALL RIGHT. I GUESS WE'RE WE THE CITY. IS IT BETTER TO FARM THAT OUT THAN IT IS TO KEEP IT IN HOUSE? OR HOW DOES HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO CURRENTLY DPS DOESN'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO TEST THC CONCENTRATIONS.

SO WE'RE KIND OF FORCED TO OUTSOURCE THAT ANYWAY. YEAH.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. SO YOUR TRIP UP HERE WAS WORTHWHILE, WASN'T IT? YES, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. BARKER. NEXT ITEM 26-0958.

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR TENNESSEE LAMAR AND HUNT STREET.

THERE HE IS, GARY GRAHAM. TENNESSEE LAMAR AND HUNT STREET.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. YES, SIR. SO, GARY, WHAT WOULD BE THE THE THE SCOPE OF THE WORK.

HIGHER LEVEL AND THEN THE TIMING OF THE OF THE WORK.

SO THIS WILL BE THE RECONSTRUCTION OF TENNESSEE STREET FROM VIRGINIA TO LAMAR.

LAMAR STREET FROM HIGHWAY FIVE OVER TO KENTUCKY STREET.

HUNT STREET FROM HIGHWAY FIVE TO KENTUCKY STREET AS WELL, AND THEN SOME RE.

RESTRIPING AND SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENTS ON KENTUCKY STREET AS WELL FROM HUNT TO LAMAR.

SO THIS IS A $12,950,000 NOT TO EXCEED CONTRACT OR ITEM.

THE CONTRACT FOR 11,238,000. THE WAY WE BID THIS PROJECT, WE LET THE CONTRACTORS ESTIMATE THEIR WORK DAYS TO COMPLETE ALL THIS WORK.

THE FASTER THAT THEY GOT IT DONE, THE HIGHER THEY SCORED ON OUR, OUR BIDDING PROCESS.

AND SO THIS IS 677 CALENDAR DAYS. SO BASICALLY IT'S GOING TO GO FROM YOU KNOW, LATE THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR WHENEVER THE NOTICE PROCEDURE ACTUALLY GETS ISSUED.

AND THEN ROUGHLY TWO YEARS. VERY GOOD WORKING WITH MAIN STREET TO AVOID ALL THE MAJOR FACILITIES AND HOLIDAY DURING THAT TIME. GARY MENTIONED THE STREETS. BUT DOES THIS ALSO INCLUDE WATER AND SEWER? YES, SIR. THE UTILITIES UNDER UNDERNEATH AS WELL.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU GARY. NEXT ITEM 0960 RELATED TO MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT.

THIS IS A CONTRACT WITH GARVER LLC FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES.

MR. SHELTON. GOOD AFTERNOON. YEAH, THIS IS A CONTRACT WITH GARVER.

BACK IN 2024, THEY WERE SELECTED THROUGH AN OPEN RFQ PROCESS FOR OUR ENGINEER OF RECORD AT THE AIRPORT.

SO EACH YEAR OF THE FIVE YEAR TERM OF THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH GARVER, THEY COME BACK AND WE ALLOCATE FUNDS FOR THEIR ON CALL SERVICES.

SO THIS IS KIND OF THE ONE OFF THINGS PLANNING EXERCISES.

FOR INSTANCE, WHEN WE LAID OUT THE TAXIWAY A THREE AREA WHERE ENCORE WIRE AND THE NEW HANGARS BEING CONSTRUCTED, THEY DID THE SITE PLANS FOR US. THEY DO OUR REGULATORY SUBMITTALS FOR TC OR FOR STORMWATER, A VARIETY OF SERVICES. THEY BILL US ON THEIR REGULAR SCHEDULE OF BILLING.

SO THIS IS A AN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED IN THE BUDGET FROM THE MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT OPERATING BUDGET, AND THEY WILL JUST DRAW DOWN ON THAT AS NECESSARY.

WE'VE EXCEEDED IT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAD TO GO BACK FOR A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY.

SO THIS YEAR WE FUNDED A LITTLE MORE THAN WE HAVE IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU LARRY. NEXT IS 0962 PROVIDENT REALTY ANNEXATION.

SO 6062 ACRES AT HIGHWAY FIVE AND 121. YES, SIR.

SO GARY, IN READING THE. THE ITEM LOOKS LIKE.

WHILE THERE'S SOME UPFRONT COSTS THAT DOES BRING ONLINE OTHER AREAS THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING.

CORRECT. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CC AND CERTIFICATIONS THAT WE ARE DOING THE PARTNERSHIP TO BUILD THE WATER AND SEWER LINES TO EXTEND UTILITIES FARTHER NORTH ALONG THE HIGHWAY FIVE CORRIDOR. WE THINK STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW FOR SOME FUTURE ANNEXATIONS.

PERFECT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT ITEM. AND THE LAST ONE.

[00:50:05]

THIS IS FOR WORK AT GABE NESBITT PARK. GOOD EVENING. THIS IS A DESIGN AGREEMENT WITH CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT GABE.

THIS WILL BE FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING LOT BETWEEN THE FIELDS AND THE PARKING OR THE PRACTICE FACILITY.

WE'RE LOOKING AT ADDING ABOUT 75 PARKING SPOTS THERE.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S NEEDED. WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT ADDING A PAVILION AT THE PRACTICE FACILITY.

AND WE, THIS WILL ALSO INCLUDE SOME OF THE WAYFINDING SIGNS AS WELL.

AND THIS IS NOT TO EXCEED $135,000 FOR THIS. PERFECT.

THANK YOU AMY. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. NO, MA'AM.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON ANY AGENDA ITEM? NOPE. THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 26-0938. THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON RECALL PETITION STRAIN.

[26-0938 Informational Update on Recall Petition]

THIS IS AN INFORMATION TO HELP THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND WHAT TO EXPECT AS WE REVIEW THE DOCUMENT.

AND AS YOU ON THE DAIS, KNOW THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMOVAL OF COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE MAYOR BY RECALL ELECTION.

IF THE PROCESS MOVES FORWARD AND PROGRESSES ACCORDING TO THE LAW.

ONE OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS IS THAT A FIVE MEMBER COMMITTEE MUST SUBMIT A VALID AFFIDAVIT TO REQUEST A PETITION DOCUMENT FOR CIRCULATION THAT WAS COMPLETED.

THE REQUIREMENT FOR THAT PETITION AND COLLECTION OF SIGNATURES IS TO COLLECT AT LEAST 30% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES THAT WERE CAST IN THE PREVIOUS ELECTION. SO THERE IS A CERTAIN MINIMUM NUMBER OF VALID SIGNATURES THAT MUST BE CONTAINED ON THE DOCUMENT TO BE VALID.

AND IF THE IF THE PETITION IS DETERMINED TO BE VALID, IT WILL COMPEL THE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT WHETHER TO RESIGN OR IF THE CITY WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH A RECALL ELECTION.

THIS IS A SAMPLE OF THE PETITION BLANKS THAT WERE CIRCULATED THAT WERE ISSUED TO THE COMMITTEE FOR CIRCULATION.

ALL DOCUMENTS LOOK LIKE THAT AND CONTAIN THE CITY SEAL.

THIS IS A TIMELINE THAT DEMONSTRATES THE. THE PROCESSES THAT ARE A PART OF THIS PROGRAM.

ON AUGUST 12TH. THAT IS WHEN A REQUEST TO CIRCULATE A PETITION WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY.

FROM THERE, 750 PETITION BLANKS WERE ISSUED TO THE COMMITTEE BY THEIR REQUEST, AND THEY HAD A DEADLINE OF SEPTEMBER 26TH TO COLLECT ALL SIGNATURES AND SUBMIT THAT PETITION DOCUMENT BACK TO THE CITY.

AND THEY, OF COURSE, SUBMITTED THAT DOCUMENT ON THE 25TH OF SEPTEMBER.

AT THAT TIME, A COMMITTEE MEMBER WAS PRESENT FOR THAT SUBMITTAL AND OBSERVED THE CITY STAFF ASSESS AND INTAKE THAT DOCUMENT AND CONFIRMED ON THE.

AND WE AGREED ON WHAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

AT THIS POINT, WE'RE IN THE PETITION REVIEW PROCESS, AND WE HAVE A TENTATIVE DATE OF NOVEMBER 17TH TO DELIVER A SUMMARY OF OUR FINDINGS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY CHARTER, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY SECRETARY TO EXAMINE THE RECALL PETITION AND DELIVER THAT RESPONSE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

A QUESTION THAT COMES UP FROM TIME TO TIME THAT WE'VE NOTICED IS THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN UNDERSTANDING OR AN IDEA THAT THERE IS A DEADLINE IN WHICH TO COMPLETE THIS WORK, WHICH THERE IS NOT. HOWEVER, WE ARE COMMITTED TO DO THAT IN A TIMELY MANNER THAT GIVES US THE CORRECT INFORMATION AND DO THAT.

AT THE INITIAL SUBMITTAL OF THE DOCUMENT, THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO CONFIRM BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.

THERE WERE SOME OPTIONS THAT COULD TAKE PLACE ONCE THE DOCUMENT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE.

[00:55:02]

WE DID NOT INSPECT THE CONTENT OF IT, BUT JUST WAS THERE ENOUGH TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A ACTUAL VERIFICATION.

SO AT THE NUMBER TWO POINT OF THE SUBMITTAL ITSELF IS VALID.

THAT IS NOT A STATEMENT AS TO WHETHER THE DOCUMENT ITSELF IS VALID AS A PETITION TO MOVE FORWARD.

THAT TAKES US TO STEP THREE, WHICH IS THE VERIFICATION OF THE FULL DOCUMENT.

OUR DIRECTION IS TO REVIEW ALL SIGNATURES AND ASSIGN THEM A STATUS.

THAT STATUS BEING EITHER VALID OR INVALID, OR TO EVALUATE ENOUGH THAT IF ENOUGH OF INVALID SIGNATURES ARE DETERMINED THAT WE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH, OR THAT COMMITTEE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS HISTORY WITH PETITIONS, IT IS OUR PRACTICE TO EVALUATE THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT, WHETHER THERE THEY MEET SOME INVALID NUMBER BEFORE THE END OF THAT.

WHAT WILL THE CITY DO? WHAT WILL MY OFFICE DO? WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SIGNATURE VALIDATION, WHICH REQUIRES US TO REVIEW EVERY SINGLE SIGNATURE LINE TO ENSURE THAT EACH PERSON WHO SIGNED THE DOCUMENT ARE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.

THEY'RE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE FOR CITY OF MCKINNEY ELECTIONS, AND THEY ARE REGISTERED VOTERS AT THE TIME THEY SIGNED THAT DOCUMENT.

THE THE RESOURCE OR THE SOURCE OF THAT VERIFICATION IS GOING TO BE THE VOTER REGISTRATION ROLL.

THAT IS A DOCUMENT THAT IS PROVIDED TO US BY COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS.

THEY ARE THE AUTHORITY ON VOTER REGISTRATION IN COLLIN COUNTY, INCLUDING THE CITY OF MCKINNEY.

THAT IS ALSO A PUBLIC DOCUMENT. WE WILL ALSO REVIEW REQUESTS TO WITHDRAW SIGNATURES FROM THE PETITION.

THERE ARE SOME NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO SUBMITTED REQUESTS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE DOCUMENT.

THAT IS IN A THAT IS FOLLOWS THE LAW. THAT IS AN ALLOWANCE THAT AS LONG AS THEY SUBMITTED THOSE BEFORE THE DOCUMENT WAS TURNED IN, THEY DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR NAME REMOVED.

THE COMMITTEE DID MAKE EFFORTS TO REMOVE SOME OF THOSE NAMES, BUT THE CITY STAFF WILL ENSURE THAT ALL NAMES THAT ARE SUBMITTED TO US ARE ALSO REMOVED.

FINALLY, THERE WILL BE A VERIFICATION REPORT THAT IS PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC TENTATIVELY ON NOVEMBER 17TH, AND THE GOAL OF THAT DOCUMENT IS TO BE TRANSPARENT AND CHECKABLE.

THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO SEE EACH LINE. AND THE RESULT THAT THAT WE CONCLUDED AS WHETHER IT'S VALID OR INVALID, AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CHECK THAT THEMSELVES IF THEY ARE SO INCLINED TO CONDUCT THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.

FOR A LITTLE REFERENCE. THIS IS THE THIRD PETITION WITHIN RECENT HISTORY THAT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY HAS EXPERIENCED, ONE OF WHICH WAS ALSO A RECALL PETITION. BUT ALSO IN 2022, THERE WAS A LOCAL OPTION ELECTION THAT WAS SPURRED BY A RECALL.

I'M SORRY, NOT A RECALL PETITION, BUT A PETITION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ELECTION. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT THEY VARY IN SIZE.

THIS PARTICULAR PETITION DOCUMENT IS 750 PAGES.

THERE WERE MORE THAN 500 PAGES THAT WERE ACTUALLY RETURNED BACK TO US.

IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE THAT IT CONTAINS 5805 SIGNATURES THAT ARE VALID.

AND THE COMMITTEE COLLECTED OVER 7400 SIGNATURES.

SO AGAIN, THAT IS THE DUTY OF OUR STAFF IS TO DETERMINE HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY VALID.

BUT YOU CAN SEE PREVIOUSLY THOSE NUMBERS VARY.

AND THE REQUIRED NUMBER IS AGAIN BASICALLY A CALCULATION DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF VOTERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN A PREVIOUS ELECTION.

IF THE PETITION IS DETERMINED TO BE VALID, THAT INFORMATION AGAIN WILL BE PRESENTED IN EACH OFFICE.

HOLDER WHO IS LISTED ON THE PETITION WILL HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE.

THEY WOULD HAVE FIVE DAYS FROM THAT NOTIFICATION TO DECIDE WHETHER TO RESIGN OR NOT.

IF AN OFFICE HOLDER RESIGNS, THERE WOULD BE A SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL THAT VACANCY.

AND THAT SPECIAL ELECTION BY LAW, WOULD TAKE PLACE BEFORE THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO FILL THAT VACANCY.

IF THAT HAPPENS, THERE WOULD BE NO RECALL ELECTION FOR THAT PARTICULAR OFFICE HOLDER IN MAY.

IF ANY OFFICE MEMBER, I'M SORRY, OFFICE HOLDER DECIDES NOT TO RESIGN, THERE WOULD IN FACT BE A RECALL ELECTION IN MAY IF THAT MEASURE FAILED, OF WHETHER TO RECALL A COUNCIL MEMBER OFFICE HOLDER.

THAT PARTICULAR ONE WOULD REMAIN IN OFFICE. IF THE MEASURE PASSES TO RECALL THAT PERSON, THEN THERE WOULD BE A SPECIAL ELECTION AFTER MAY TO

[01:00:05]

OR THERE COULD BE NO ELECTIONS AT ALL REGARDING A RECALL ELECTION.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE WILL BE A MAY 2027 ELECTION REGARDLESS, SEPARATELY FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER TERMS THAT ARE NORMALLY EXPIRED, ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE. AND THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED PREVIOUSLY IN TERMS OF THE COST THAT THE CITY COULD INCUR REGARDING THIS SITUATION, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL COSTS IF THERE IS ONLY A MAY 2027 REGULAR REGULAR ELECTION.

BUT IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIAL ELECTIONS RELATED TO THESE FILLING OF VACANCIES OR POTENTIAL, THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL COSTS RELATED TO ADDITIONAL ELECTIONS.

THAT IS THE COMPLETION OF THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE, EXCEPT TO REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT THERE IS A METHOD FOR REQUESTING INFORMATION FROM THE CITY REGARDING THE PETITION, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER MATTER FOR DOCUMENTS.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ASKED TO SUBMIT THOSE REQUESTS THROUGH THE OPEN RECORDS CENTER.

THE WEB PAGE IS LISTED HERE SO THAT IT HELPS US TO RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER AND CONSISTENTLY TO ALL REQUESTS.

AGAIN, THAT'S ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE TO SHARE ABOUT.

I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? AND FIRST, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR REPORT.

OKAY. NEXT ITEM WILL BE COUNCIL LIAISON UPDATES.

ANYONE ONE MR. MAYOR, I WAS AT VISIT MCKINNEY AND THERE WAS A NUMBER THAT JUMPED OUT AT ME.

IS THAT, YOU KNOW, VISIT MCKINNEY'S CHARGE IS TO HELP FILL HOTEL ROOMS. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN WE BOOK A HOTEL, IT MAY SAY $89.

WE WIND UP PAYING 132 BECAUSE THERE'S A BUNCH OF HOTEL TAXES ON THERE.

AND SOME OF THOSE STAY HERE IN MCKINNEY. AND THE.

WE COLLECTED LAST MONTH ABOUT $350,000 OF TAXES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IN HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES.

AND THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF THAT WAS AIRBNB AT $52,000.

THAT KIND OF SURPRISED ME A LITTLE BIT. THAT'S ALL I GOT.

INTERESTING. ANYONE ELSE? COUNCILMAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ALWAYS SOMEHOW RIVETING REPORTS.

I MEAN, THERE'S GOING TO BE A MOVIE OVER THIS PRESENTATION AND I'LL TAKE YOU TO IT.

CAN'T WAIT. YES, SIR. OKAY. WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SO WE WILL. IT'S 458 AND WE WILL RECESS INTO THAT EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[CITY COUNCIL EXECUTIVE SESSION]

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLOUTIER AND A SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN FELTUS TO ADJOURN OUR WORK SESSION.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. IT IS 557. OUR WORK SESSION IS ADJOURNED.
