[00:00:04]

AND GENTLEMEN. UH, EVERYBODY WELCOME. GOOD MORNING. IT IS OLD 1 A.M. TUESDAY MADE 19. 20

[CALL TO ORDER]

THERE MAY BE OCCASIONS WHERE THE AUDIO AND VIDEO TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED IN THOSE INSTANCES NEEDING JUAN PRESIDENT. ELWOOD COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS ANYONE PUBLIC SPEAKING. WE'RE BEING AGENDA. PLAIN DASH 032 MINUTES IN MCKINNEY ECONOMICS WITH ALL

[CONSENT ITEMS]

[20-0383 Board and Liaison Updates Board Chairman City of McKinney Chamber of Commerce Community Development Corporation Visit McKinney]

HIGH LEVEL EXPECTED A SIGNIFICANT REVENUE REDUCTION. EVERY YEAR. IT HAS BEEN PLANNED FOR APPROXIMATELY 7% REDUCTION ON TOP. OUR STAFF CAME ALONG WITH 15% REDUCTION OPERATIONAL EXPENSES OVER. GET THIS PLACE BUDGET FLIES AND IT APPEARS THE SPACE ON THIS FIRST DRAFT THAT OPERATION OPERATION EXPENSES WELL INTO OUR REVENUES WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 16% IMPROVEMENT OVER ALREADY. OPERATION SPACES ARE BELOW 20% WHICH IS IN LINE APPEARS IN THE NEIGHBORING CITIES. YEARS. GOOD JOB TIGHTENING AND CHINA PROJECT FOR NEXT YEAR, WHICH EVERYBODY KNOWS THE STORY. THAT'S JUST AIN'T RIGHT. FORWARD IF THEY. JOB. HURRY. AND AGAIN JUST APPRECIATE EVERYBODY BEING HERE THIS MORNING ON OUR COMMITTEE'S BUSY WORKING HARD CIRCUMSTANCES, SO. CITY MCKINNEY. MR. GRIMES. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MR PRESIDENT. MY NAME IS PAUL GRIND CITY MANAGER. I DO HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS. THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE LONGER THAN MY NORMAL VERBOSE ANNOUNCEMENTS.

[00:05:03]

PROBABLY YOU'RE JUST NOT QUALIFIED. THEY'RE NOT GOINGTO BE QUALIFIED FOR VARIOUS REASONS. SO THAT IS THE MCKINNEY STRONG PROGRAM THAT IS INDEPENDENT OF THE COUNTY

[00:10:05]

SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES IF YOU WILL OF OUR SALES TAX REVENUES, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE DATA, BUT WE GET ANECDOTAL INFORMATION BY LOOKING AT OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD ON THE TIMELINE. AND SEE HOW THEIR SALES TAXES WERE IMPACTED AND WE MAKE CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS AND THEN WE WILL. CHANGE THAT. AS THE DATA COMES IN, WE WON'T GET THE APRIL SALES TAX DATA. APRIL IS GOING TO BE THE MONTH, OF COURSE, THE WORST MONTH WAY WON'T GET THOSE SALES TAX DATA UNTIL JUNE, SO WE HAVE TO KIND OF ADJUST, BUT BY THE TIME WE GET THE BUDGET PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE A MUCH BETTER SET OF DATA. WITH WHICH TO MAKE OUR ASSUMPTIONS. NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. SAME THING. WE'VE PUT SOME THINGS IN PLACE TO TRY TO KEEP OUR EXPENSES MODERATED. WE HAVE PUT A HIRING FREEZE IN PLACE. WE EXPECT THAT THAT WILL CONTINUE FOR A WHILE, THEN WE WILL PROBABLY MODIFY IT. WE HAVE TO HIRE PUBLIC SAFETY PEOPLE WE'RE GOING TO NEED PEOPLE IN CRITICAL POSITIONS, BUT OUR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET WILL PROBABLY HAVE SOME VERSION OF A HIRING FREEZE OR CERTAINLY HIRING RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE. THAT IS THE SINGLE BEST WAY TO SAVE MONEY WHEN 80% OF YOUR OPERATING BUDGET IS LABOR RELATED COSTS. A SINGLE BEST WAY TO SAVE ON THOSE COSTS IS BY. PLACING A FREEZE ON HIRING AND THEN ADJUSTING ACCORDINGLY, RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO THE OTHER WAY AROUND. SO WE TRY TO AVOID THAT. AND THEN FINALLY, THE CITY IS WORKING ON OPENING. ROY AND HELEN WHOLE LIBRARY HAS REOPENED THE PUBLIC AND WILL

[00:15:01]

ACT CARES ACT OF SUCH A LARGE BILL. THAT WE WEREN'T SURE. BUT WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

SO THE COUNTY GOT ONE SET ONE HOUR, 71.4 TO BE PRECISE, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE THAT OUT SOME OF IT THEY'RE GOING TO USE FOR THEIR OWN OPERATIONS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO PAY FOR SOME THINGS THERE COUNTYWIDE TESTING. ON. I FORGET. THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING KEY THING THAT THE COUNTY WAS GOING TO PICK UP THE COST OF, BUT THE REST OF IT, THEY'RE GOING TO FAN OUT TO THE MUNICIPALITIES AND ALLOW THE LABORATORIES FOR DEMOCRACY TO WORK. YES, SIR. FUNDING SO ALL THE RESIDENTS. PROGRAMS FOR RESIDENT ASSISTANT PROGRAMS THAT DIRECTLY WITH COUNTY DISPERSED TO YOU AT SOME POINT THAT WILL BE DISPERSED TO US THROUGH OUR CDBG TO THE FOUR ENTITLEMENT CITIES. WILL BE RUNNING BASICALLY THE PROGRAMME FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT COLLIN COUNTY, SO WE'RE ALL GOING TO. WE'RE ALL GOING TO TAKE ON SOME ADDITIONAL ZIP CODES OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY LIMITS AND ADMINISTER HOUSING ASSISTANCE EVEN FOR THOSE AREAS. USING THE PLATFORM THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE THAT WE'VE BEEN USING FOR YEARS UNDER THE CDBG PROGRAM. ARE REPARATIONS IN HIS OPENING. THE PLAYGROUNDS. PLAYGROUND'S WILL BE OPEN A CZ. WELL THE PARKS HAVE BEEN OPEN ALL ALONG, AND I'VE BEEN SEEING PEOPLE ON PLAYGROUNDS. MIND YOU, BUT WAY HAVE ENCOURAGED FOLKS TO STAY OFF THE PLAY EQUIPMENT, BUT. WITH THE SUMMER AND THE HOT SUN. THE RISK IS LOWER. OF COURSE, THE MOUNTAIN OF PEOPLE PLAYING IN THE HOT SUN GOES DOWN TO A ZIT. SOMETHING HAS REALIZED THAT EQUIPMENT'S NOT EXACTLY EASY TO PLAY ON. BUT. WAY I DO BELIEVE THE PLAYGROUNDS ARE WILL BE OPENED THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF. POLITICAL BACK TO THIS NUMBER. YOU CALL IT A 182 170 APPLICATIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND FUNDED. CORRECT. THAT'S A TOTAL DOLLARS, SO IT $1500. SO THIS IS A WITH THE FIRST STEP IN THIS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION COUNCIL ADOPTED IT WAS, LET'S KEEP THE FUNDING FAIRLY MODEST TO BEGIN WITH. BECAUSE THIE METAPHOR WE'RE USING IS THE BOMBS WERE STILL FALLING. UM, WE DON'T WANT TO BE THROWING MONEY JUST TO THROW IT AROUND UNTIL WE KNOW WHERE THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT IS, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING THAT IN COMING MONTHS. LET'S GET SOME MONEY. EMERGENCY MONEY OUT THE DOOR FOR THOSE SMALL BUSINESSES WHERE REALLY $1500 IS MEANINGFUL PACER UTILITY BILLS IT PAYS, MAYBE FOR A THROWN OUT INVENTORY THAT THEY HAD TO RESTOCK. SOMETHING OR A MONTH'S RENT ON DH THAT MAY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. YOU EXPECT TO BE A SECOND REFERRED ROUND. WELL THAT WILL BE SUBJECT TO TONIGHT'S WORK SESSION. I DO SUSPECT THAT THAT WILL BE THE CASE, THERE WILL BE A SECOND ROUND WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WE'LL BE UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND I SEEN THE MAYOR LIKE SPEAKING. I SAY. JENNY, HOW MUCH BUSINESS ANY MORE ROUNDS IN A LOT OF LIKE, OKAY, THANK YOU. THAT'S OKAY. NEXT. THE APEX SCHOOL WILL BE OPENING.

I DON'T I THINK THAT WILL BE AROUND A LITTLE BIT LATER IN JUNE, WHEN THE POOLS ARE OPEN,

[00:20:01]

DISTANCED ENVIRONMENT LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT, BUT IT TAKES A MONTH TO GET OUR LIVE CARDS AT LEAST TRAINED UP AND READY TO GO. IT'S QUITE A BIT. A LOT OF MOVING PARTS BALL. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, LET'S LET'S MOVE ALONG HERE. WE HAVE. NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WELCOME BACK. HAVEN'T SEEN, IT, YOU BUT A WHILE. IT'S NICE TO BE SEEN AND NOT A TINY BOX ON A SCREEN. WHERE ALL YOUR WRINKLES KIND OF SHOW UP AND YOU KNOW IT'S YEAH, ANYWAYS. WELCOME. S O. I TO HAVE QUITE A FEW THINGS TO UPDATE YOU ON.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO THROUGH THEM PRETTY FAIRLY QUICKLY, BUT JUST LIKE THE CITY. THERE'S BEEN SO MANY THINGS HAPPENING IN SUCH A FAST PACE, AND WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. COUPLE THINGS IN RELATION TO COVE IN 19 IN OUR RESPONSE TO SMALL BUSINESSES, OBVIOUSLY, SINCE MARCH, IT'S BEEN KIND OF A. ALL FEET ON THE GROUND ARE ACTUALLY NOT REALLY ON THE GROUND. WE'RE ACTUALLY ALL AT HOME ON PHONES AND EMAIL TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING AS THE BOMBS WERE DROPPING AS A CZ. PAUL ALLUDED TO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF OUR SMALL BUSINESSES, SO WE'VE KIND OF BEEN IN A REACTIVE MODE TO TRY TO HELP THEM. SO WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY WORKED WITH KIM FLOM AND HER GROUP. I WAS WELL AS VISIT MCKINNEY MAIN STREET, AMEDI CM, DC ALL THE VARIOUS GROUPS TO TRY TO COME TOGETHER. WE DID PUT TOGETHER A MCKINNEY STRONG PROGRAM PRIOR TO THE CITY COUNCIL, ACTUALLY PUTTING SOME MONEY BEHIND IT WITH OUR T SHIRT SALES. YOU DIDN'T STILL BUY A T SHIRT THAT SAYS BIN CAN BE STRONG AND ALL PROCEEDS THEN GO TIO TIO FUNDING, HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES AND ALSO HELPING NONPROFITS. WE ALSO LAUNCHED A MCKINNEY BACK TO BUSINESS WEBSITE. OUR FIRST PAGE WAS ACTUALLY ON OUR WEB SITE WAS A KIND OF A RESPONSE TO COVE IN 19 AND HAD RESOURCE IS WHETHER IT WAS HOWTO HANDLE WORKING FROM REMOTELY. CDC GUIDELINES ALL THOSE KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS ON DH. THEN AS THAT CONTINUED TO EXPAND AND GROW, WE REALISED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REALLY BUILT OUT AS A MICRO SITE, SO WE WORKED WITH CENTIPEDE, DIGITAL AND ACTUALLY CREATED A MCKINNEY BACK TO BUSINESS .COM WEBSITE. AND OVER THE LAST 30 DAYS ON OUR CD AND WITCHES ARE CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK. WE'VE HAD 158,009 HITS.

UM SO WHERE WE'RE STILL KIND OF ANALYZING WHAT THE DATA LOOKS LIKE A HIT OBVIOUSLY IS DIFFERENT THAN A UNIQUE VISITOR. AND WE'RE WE'RE GETTING THAT DATA, BUT WE WERE SEEING A LOT OF TRAFFIC. A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY. LOOKING FOR CONTENT ON LOOKING FOR THOSE RESOURCE IS SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THAT IS ACTUALLY TRULY A PLACE A PLACE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES, AND WE ACTUALLY PUSHED HIM OUT TO A LOT OF PLACES LIKE THE CITY.

CDC EMMY, DC, AND SOME OF OUR OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS. WE ALSO. HELD MCKENNEY STRONG, WEAK, SO IN LIEU OF OUR NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, WHICH IS USUALLY, UH, BIG NATIONAL PRODUCTION THROUGH THE S P A. THEY DECIDED TO POSTPONE. SMALL BUSINESS WEEK AND WE GET THE CHAMBER DECIDED THAT WHAT TIME IS MAURIN IMPORTANT THAN NOW? TO CELEBRATE AND HIGHLIGHT THE WORK THAT SMALL BUSINESSES DO IN OUR COMMUNITY? SO WE JUST REVAMP THAT A LITTLE BIT AND.

HELD OUR MCKINNEY STRONG BUSINESS WEEK. WE DID MANY THINGS. VIRTUALLY SARAH. WE HAD BUSINESSES THAT SUBMITTED VIDEOS, QUICK VIDEOS. WE PUT HIM OUT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ARE ACTUALLY ON OUR MCKINNEY BACK TO BUSINESS WEBSITE. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO CHECK THOSE OUT. YOU CAN. ALSO THE CITY HELPED US WITH A BIKINI STRONG PARADE. THE MAYOR WAS PART OF IT. THANK YOU AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WE COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT THEM DIDN'T REALISE THAT IT WOULD BE THAT DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH 40 MILES OF MCKINNEY. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE POLICE OFFICERS ON MOTORCYCLES, AND THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF FUN GADGETS TO BE ABLE, TIO. MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD GET THROUGH RED LIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT SAFELY. IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. SO WE DID WE COVER A LOT OF GROUNDS AND REALLY CELEBRATED ALL ALL OF OUR BUSINESSES. SMALL BUSINESSES FROM CRAIG RANCH TO DOWNTOWN. WE MADE IT. TIO

[00:25:01]

OUR QUARTERLY LUNCHEON MAY 28TH PRIOR TO ANY OF THIS HAPPENING. WE HAD ALREADY DECIDED ON TOPIC CALLED HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, SO. VERY FITTING IN THIS TIME, ANDRE HAVE DR KYLE WITH UTD WHO WILL BE OUR PRESENTER. HE WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO PRESENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO PRESENT. ON THE TOPIC OF THE THRIVE STUDY THAT KENNY ALLIANCE FUNDED. KNOW MANY OF YOU PARTICIPATED IN THAT LAST YEAR. THE FIRST RESULTS OF THAT STUDY HAVE COME OUT. WHERE THEY RAIDED OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WELLBEING IN FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS, AND SO HE'S STILL GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. THAT OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT IN DIFFERENT IF YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT THROUGH THE LENS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY, SO. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT ARE WE WERE ALREADY LOOKING AT HOW WE COULD HAVE A WELL COMMUNITY A THRIVING COMMUNITY PRIOR TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE THINGS IN PLACE. THEN IT MAKES IT EASIER TO DEAL WITH A GLOBAL PANDEMIC IN YOUR COMMUNITY WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN STUDYING WHERE YOU'VE HAD GAPS AND WHERE YOU HAVE ON DH, WHERE YOU HAVE STRENGTH IN YOUR RESOURCE IS IN YOUR COMMUNITY. SO. THAT WILL ALL BE VIRTUAL, AND THAT'S MADE 28. YOU CAN REGISTER ONLINE FOR THAT. WE ALSO ARE GOING TO BE HOLDING OUR NEXT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE PARTNER WITHIN ME, DC PETER WILL ACTUALLY BE OUR MODERATOR. AND AGAIN, THE TOPIC WAS ALREADY GOING TO BE ON INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY. AND AS WE MET WITH SOME OF OUR PANELISTS, WHICH INCLUDE SAMANTHA FLOORS WITH CORRIGAN, DAVID HALEY WITH ACUITY JOHN HENRY WITH DPT PARTNERS, JOHN PFEIFFER WITH MCGOUGH. WE MET WITH THEM RECENTLY VIA ZOOM AND THEY REALLY TALKED ABOUT HOW COVE IN 19 IS. IT'S BEEN A CATALYST. FOR ADVANCING A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

I THINK WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED THAT ON SOME LEVEL WHETHER IT'S BEEN ON ZOOM OR SKYPE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT THEY ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE PUBLIC BEING MORE ACCEPTING OF TECHNOLOGY OF TOUCHLESS ENTRY THINGS LIKE THAT THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT MORE NERVOUS ABOUT BEFORE, BUT NOW IT'S ACTUALLY HELP SPUR THE ADOPTION OF THAT. SO I THINK THEY HAVE AH, LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION. I KNOW PETER, WHEN WE'RE ON THAT CALL. I WAS JUST REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PANELISTS. SO. THAT'S JUNE 2ND AT 8 A.M. AND IT WILL ALSO BE A VIRTUAL MEETING WILL BE ON ZOOM, SO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE A PART OF THAT. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION. JUST A FEW OTHER THINGS. I APOLOGIZE. THAT KNOWS IS A VERY LONG UPDATE. BUT I DID WANT TO SAY A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO DR FELTUS. SHE RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM LEADERSHIP MCKINNEY. UM SO GIVE HER A BIG SHOUT OUT. SHE JOINS SOME PRESTIGIOUS ALUMNI SEEM MANY GERMAN ASALI PATRICK. I HAVE. WAS GOING TO SAY THE MAYOR. I'M SORRY. GEORGE OF BRIAN LOT, MILLER. I'M KIND OF GOING AROUND THE ROOM. MICHAEL JONES. TRACY WRATH. KEN DID YOU EVER TAKE LEADERSHIP? THEY WOULD LET ME. THEY WOULDN'T LET ME IN THE FIRST TIME. I APPLIED EITHER. SO YOU KNOW, YOU AND I THINK PETER WILL BE TAKING IT NEXT YEAR. A SWELL SO CONGRATULATIONS. WE HOPE TO ACTUALLY HAVE A, UH, GRADUATION IN PERSON. WE'RE GOING TO BE COMBINING THAT WITH OUR NEW CLASS ORIENTATION AT THE SANCTUARY. ON THAT WE DID DO A ZOOM, UH, PARTY. SO WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF ZOOM PARTIES LATELY. IT'S BEEN. IT'S BEEN FUN. UM THE OTHER THING I WILL ALSO SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT WE TYPICALLY HOLD SERVE MCKENNEY, WHICH IS WHERE WE HAVE. IT'S A COMMUNITY GATHERING WHERE THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS CAN COME AND TALK TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WAYS THAT THEY CAN GET BACK AND SERVE. AND WE ALSO INCLUDE ALL THE NONPROFITS AND CALLING COUNTY. THAT OBVIOUSLY WE CANNOT DO THAT IN PERSON, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE SPLITTING THAT UP. WE'RE LOOKING AT WHEN WORKING WITH CHRIS WAS HERE EARLIER, WORKING WITH THE CITY SECRETARY. WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A WEBINAR FOR ALL THE CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS YOU'LL BE SEEING THAT VERY SOON. WE'RE GONNA BE ASKING THE

[00:30:03]

YESTERDAY MORNING I HAD 178 RESPONSES ALREADY. SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT OPEN FOR ANOTHER WEEK. HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. SOME OF THE THINGS I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT TO KNOW HOW HOW THEY WERE IMPACTED BY THIS PANDEMIC, BUT. THE OTHER THING WE WANT TO FIND OUT WAS DID YOU APPLY FOR A P P P. DID YOU RECEIVE PPP OR AN IED ALONE? WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT? I WANT TO GET A FEEL FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN OUR ECONOMY SO HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH PETER, AND HE CAN SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD, I THINK WILL KIND OF GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MCKENNEY. AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE REOPENING.

REOPENING OUR OFFICE. WE'VE NEVER TECHNICALLY BEEN CLOSED. FORTUNATELY TO TECHNOLOGY WHENEVER THE PHONE RINGS AT THE CHAMBER, IT ACTUALLY RINGS ON DH, TWO OF MY STAFF MEMBERS HOMES BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T ANSWER THE PHONE FROM HOME. AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING REMOTELY WITH PEOPLE GOING IN PERIODICALLY, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING A RE OPENING WITH FEW STAFF MEMBERS ON A ON A DIFFERENT. I'LL TURN A SCHEDULE TO KEEP OUR OFFICE OPEN WITH OFFICE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY SANITIZING DOING ALL THOSE THINGS THAT CDCDC RECOMMENDS. BT WE'RE EXCITED TO HOPEFULLY GET BACK TO SOME SENSE OF NORMALCY IN THIS TIME, SO. I KNOW THAT WAS A LONG UPDATE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE. LEAST I THINK YOU.

NICE PERSON. THANK YOU DATED A CZ ALWAYS APPRECIATE. THANK YOU. VISIT KENNEDY'S HEARS. VISIT A CANNERY PARTISAN YOUR PACKET. AND BC REPORTS AND HE'S NOT HERE. THAT REPORT IS IN YOUR

[20-0384 Consider/Discuss MEDC Monthly Organizational Report]

ONE THING I DON'T. WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION OVER, PLEASE. I JUST WANT TO BRING IT AGAIN.

OUR IMMEDIATE FUTURE PRIMARIES GOAL SETTING SESSION THAT WE WERE BACK IN MARCH. SEE NOW WE'RE KNOCKING ON JUNE AND. EATING THROUGH ALMOST HALF A YEAR, ALREADY WITH. METRICS.

EVERYTHING OBVIOUSLY, CONNECTION HAS HAD A BIG IMPACT ON BUSINESS OPERATIONS ALL AROUND. INCLUDING OUR OPERATIONS FROM PROJECTS BEING NOT SO I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD SUPPORT IS WE'VE CONTACTED REMEMBER, WE HAD BROUGHT ON FACILITATOR TO HELP WITH THAT PROCESS FOR THIS YEAR. GIVEN WHERE. I'M MORE THAN HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR NOW. WITH ORGANIZATIONAL WISE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SHUTTING DOWN. WE'VE CONTACTED THE FACILITATOR AND SAID, WOULD YOU BE WILLING ONE WITH DOOBIE FEEL COMFORTABLE STILL COMING DOWN, TOO? MEET WITH THE BOARD. AND HE SAID YES, HE WOULD. BUT TOO YOU KNOW INTERNALLY WE WERE TALKING. YOUR CONSIDERATION. WOULD IT BE BETTER SUITED FOR US TO JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE SOME STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GUYS THIS YEAR? GIVEN CURRENT SITUATION? WHAT KIND OF WE'RE TRENDING WITH REVISITS NOTHING LIKE THAT, JUST TO GET AN APPROVED JUST THIS YEAR AND THEN BRINGING THE FACILITATOR IN 45 TO 90 DAYS. REMEMBER IS THE BEST TIME THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE TO HELP US 40 2021 YEAR. MOVING FORWARD, SO I CAN NOT GET AWAY. WHICH IS REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU FEEL IS BEST FOR THE ORGANIZATION FROM BOTH HAVING SESSIONS. I THINK IT'S. I THINK WE'RE SEEING WHAT WE COULD PROBABLY FORECAST REMAIN OF THIS YEAR BASED ON CURRENT SITUATION, BUT IF YOU STILL WANT US TO BRING THE FACILITATOR CAN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS YEAR. OR PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR AND JUST OUR EXISTING GUYS ARE MEAN. YOU HAVE A POINT OF VIEW. IT'S WISE TO WAIT. I'M OFF FOR A YEAR. STAFF RECOMMENDING DIES.

[00:35:01]

GOT ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. YES YOU DO. JUMP 20 PAST 0385 CONSIDER DISCUSS THE CDC MONTHLY METRICS

[20-0385 Consider/Discuss MEDC Monthly Metrics Dashboard Report]

BUT HAVING ONE OF THAT IS IT'S HAVING PEOPLE IMPACT. SO DURING THIS TIME OVERSEEING MARCH FOR PROJECTS. KIND OF HOLD OR REALLY REEVALUATING THEIR POSITION. AND THE MARKET IS WHETHER THEY WANT TO EXPAND OUR DC ARE LARGE PROJECTS WHO HAS HAD A. HER SIZEABLE EXPANSION PLANS SCALE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THIRD WITH THEIR ORIGINAL PLANNING. THESE SMALL BUSINESS PRODUCTS ARE MAKING UP FOR THAT. LOSS OF REAL ESTATE FROM BIGGER PROJECTS IN THE FORM OF SMALLER PROJECTS IS A REAL IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNE. WE'RE SEEING THAT SIDES. IT'S VERY EFFECTUAL PROGRAM. THIS FOREST FARAS PRIMEDIA PROJECTS TO THE. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A BIG JUMP IN OUR PERCENTAGES OF OUR PRODUCT PIPELINE OVER OUR PROJECTED NUMBER PROJECTS AND PIPER. THAT DOESN'T MEAN I APPROVE. I'M A GOAL OF HAVING 20 ACTIVE PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE 28 SO. WE'RE DOING WELL AGAIN ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA WAY RECENTLY RELEASED OUR CUE TO NEWSLETTERS, THOSE PERFORMED REALLY WELL AGAIN. WE STARTED TO OPEN RIGHT 40% 41.

SO REALLY WELL IN OUR MARKETING, REMARKING AUTOMATION PLATFORM REALLY GETTING OUT AND WE ACTUALLY EXPANDED THE NEWSLETTERS INTO A SPECIFIC ONE JUST TESTED OUT. WE RELEASED A HEALTH CHECK NEWSLETTERS THAT WE HAVE A GROWING HEALTHTECH. INDUSTRIES WITHIN MCKINNEY WITH MEMORIES AND PROJECTS AND COMPANIES THAT ARE LOOKING AT. THAT WAY TESTED MARKET SAID.

WELL, LET'S JUST BE ONE FOR HEALTH. CHECK OUT THIS IS OTHER SO WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH A CLASSROOM WORKING AND WE'RE REALLY MAKING STRIPED MARKET INSIDE. AND THOSE ARE JUST TOO DISTRESSED THEM. HERE ARE VERY VISITS. WE'VE PIVOTED AND ACTUALLY HAVE ADDED A CATEGORY.

SOCIAL DISTANCING OF VIRTUAL VERY VISITS. SO SINCE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO GO PHYSICALLY TO PLACES RIGHT NOW VISIT WE'RE COUNTING VIRTUAL VISITS AS BUSINESS. THAT'S EITHER ARE SOON CALLS THAT WE HAD WITH THEM OR JUST DIRECT COMMUNICATION WE'VE HAD TO ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS. AND WHICH HAD JUST IN THE LAST MONTH ALONG 38 OR SO. GODS BE PRETTY EFFECTIVE FOR REACHING OUT COS. COULD YOU COULD YOU COMMENT ON THESE WITH YOUR GENERAL SENSE OF THE COMMUNITY BUSINESS LEADERS TO CHARACTERIZE THEIR MOST OF THEM IN THE BEGINNING, MOST OF THEM WERE. THEY ARE NOT GREATLY AFFECTED BY IT, BECAUSE AGAIN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CORPORATE OPERATIONS. A LOT OF CORPORATIONS ON LIKE SMALL BUSINESSES CAN SEND THEIR BOYS HOME TO WORK REMOTELY. SO THE DIRECT LOSS OF EMPLOYEES IN LOST REVENUE. IT'S NICE, DRASTIC WITH SMALL BUSINESS WILL CLOSE PHYSICALLY CLOSER DOORS AND LAY PEOPLE OFF. SO WE WEREN'T SEEING THAT. INITIALLY WE HAD SEVERAL COMPANIES RECENTLY THAT I HAVE NOTIFIED

[00:40:05]

SO. SAME THING WITH SOME MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS WITH LOOKING AT THE TOUCH POINTS THAT HAPPENED DURING THE PROCESS THERE HAVING BOYS WE'VE NOT HAD ANY BUSINESS CLOSURES OR LAYOFFS YET, SO WE'RE WE'RE CAREFUL MONITORING. IF IT MEANS LIKE ANYONE ELSE. ALL RIGHT,

[20-0386 Consider/Discuss Business Intelligence Update]

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PERSPECTIVE, AND I BELIEVE PERSONALLY THAT, UH, MY JOB IS TO WORK IN A MARKETING FUNCTION TO DIFFERENTIATE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SEPARATES US FROM OTHER DESTINATIONS THAT BUSINESS MIGHT WANT TO CALL HOME. SO TO THAT, AND ARE YOU GOING TO SCHOOL OR DO I? HEAR? IT? I THINK I CAN DO IT JUST LIKE YOU. DON'T DO THIS MAN. RIGHT. GOODNESS, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT. IS IT? YEAH. COULD YOU DO THAT? ALL RIGHT. SO TODAY I WANT TO GO OVER THE THREE MAIN THINGS THAT WE'VE ACHIEVED SO FAR, AND THAT IS TOWARD OUR RESEARCH FOCUS TO SUPPORT THE PROJECTS TEAM. THE PROJECT TEAM HAS REALLY HELPED TO SHAPE MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE TYPES OF COMPANIES AND INDUSTRIES THAT WANT TO LOCATE HERE OR RELOCATE HERE OR CALL IT HOME. FOR THE FUTURE AND SO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE UNDERSTANDING OF EXISTING REAL ESTATE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'VE PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER, SO TO SPEAK, AND. WE'VE DONE WEBSITE UPDATES.

WE'VE CREATED A DASHBOARD FOR INTERNAL RESEARCH AND SOME QUICK REFERENCE MATERIALS FOR OUR TEAM TO BETTER RESPOND IN MORE QUICKLY RESPOND. TIO R F PEACE WHERE ARE THE EYES? AND I'M SORRY. THERE'S A HIGHLIGHT HERE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF ME. OKAY, SO TO START WITH.

LEARNING FROM PETER'S PAST SUCCESSES. WE UNDERSTAND PEOPLE VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, BUT PRIMARILY TO GET A QUICK UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR DEMOGRAPHICS ARE LIKE.

AND SO TO THAT END WE'VE NOW. MADE AVAILABLE DOWNLOADABLE FACT SHEETS FROM THE WEBSITE IT WAS IN SOMEONE'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO WILL AGREE TO DOWNLOAD THOSE. AND THESE WILL BE UPDATED ANNUALLY UNLESS THEIR QUARTERLY REPORTS. THAT WAS A REAL HALLELUJAH FOR THAT MOMENT. QUICKLY, AND I DON'T THINK AND SO THE NEXT STEPS HERE ARE TIO MAXIMIZE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THESE DEMOGRAPHICS BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ARE EXISTING RESIDENTS ARE BUSINESS COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESS COMMUNITIES THAT MIGHT WANT TO RELOCATE HERE. PART OF THAT REORGANIZATION IS UNDERSTANDING WHICH OF THESE DATA SETS ARE GONNA BE MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST CRITICAL TO PEOPLE MAKING THOSE BOTTOM LINE BUSINESS DECISIONS. NEXT AND WHAT I HAD HOPED TO SHOW YOU TODAY IS A LIVE INTERACTIVE VERSION OF THIS DASHBOARD BUT FOR THE SAKE OF TIME AND ALSO LINK COMPATIBILITY WITH INTERNET I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY DESCRIBE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING UP HERE AND THEN I'M GOING TO COVER SOME BASELINE METRICS THAT WE'RE ABLE ABLE TO DISCOVER. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS A CENTRALIZATION OF DATA THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO YOU. BUT BECAUSE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY ACTUALLY FALLS WITHIN A MUCH LARGER SUB MARKET THAT'S TRACKED BY THE BIGGER BROKERAGES AND REAL ESTATE FIRMS. WE'VE CONSOLIDATED IT TO JUST THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND THE EXTENDED BOUNDARY HERE AND SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THE BREAKDOWN OF PROPERTY TYPES. WE HAVE FLEX INDUSTRIAL LAND IN OFFICE. AND YOU CAN FILTER AS SUCH, AND THEN UNDERNEATH IS OUR BASIC QUARTERLY STATISTICS.

INVENTORY VACANCY, DIRECT AVAILABLE SPACE THIE ONLY THING THAT YOU WON'T SEE OUR

[00:45:01]

SO WHEN SOMETHING COMES ACROSS OUR PROJECT TEAMS DEATH TODAY, QUESTIONS WE MIGHT ASK ARE. ALL RIGHT. THEY MIGHT NEED SOME EXISTING SPACE BUT ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP INTO THE FUTURE AND PERHAPS IT'S MEDICAL OR RND. THIS ALLOWS US TO START WITH EXISTING SPACE ALREADY IN THOSE PROPERTY TYPES AND SORT OF BACK OUR WAY IN TEO, WHERE A GOOD PARCEL OR PIECE OF UNDEVELOPED LAND MIGHT BE. ON THE SIDE. HERE YOU'LL SEE AVAILABLE SPACE BY OWNER AND THIS WAS JUST A PERSONAL QUESTION. I HAD, WHAT AIR THE PORTFOLIO IS LIKE FOR THE OWNERS OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE EXISTING MCKINNEY AND I DISCOVERED A COUPLE OF INTERESTING THINGS THAT YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP THERE. THE LARGEST OWNER HAS A SIZEABLE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE SPACE, BUT THERE ARE ALSO MANY OWNERS THAT HAVE MIXED PORTFOLIOS OF BOTH INDUSTRIAL AND FLEX. SOME INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES THAT HAVE A LARGE PORTION OF IT BEING RESERVED FOR OFFICE SPACE AND THEN OFFICE SPACE AND FLEX SPACE. YOU DON'T SEE INTERCHANGEABLY AMONGST PORTFOLIOS, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THIS DASHBOARD AND I'LL CIRCULATE A LINK. TEO THE BOARD, SO YOU GUYS CAN DIVE IN AND TAKE A LOOK YOURSELVES. THE THIRD AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT THING TO A LOT OF THE REQUESTS THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR, BUT I'VE SEEN SO FAR ARE LABOR SUPPLY, SO IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A GOOD DESTINATION FOR SOMEBODY WE WANT, TEO. NOT ONLY MATCH THEM FROM AN IDENTITY PERSPECTIVE ARE YOU COMPATIBLE VERY COMPLIMENTARY TO THE EXISTING FIBER SO TO SPEAK OF COMPANIES HERE. AND DO WE HAVE AN ADEQUATE WORK FORCE IN MCKINNEY AND OR SURROUNDING OUR AREA TO FULLY SUPPORT WHATEVER THEIR LABOR NEEDS ARE AND YOUR HEARING SO MANY THINGS TODAY ABOUT. SO AND SO FROM CALIFORNIA BEING INTERESTED IN TEXAS OR NEW YORK BEING INTERESTED IN TEXAS? WELL THE SECOND STOP THERE IS DO WE HAVE THE SKILLS THAT THESE COMPANIES REQUIRE. AND, UM. OUT OF THE UNIVERSITIES ARE THESE SKILL IS GOING TO BE ABUNDANT AND SKILL SETS START TO SHIFT AND CHANGE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE FULLY ANSWERING THEIR QUESTIONS, NOT JUST. HEY, WE'RE CITY OF MCKINNEY IN OR AUSTIN AND YOU SHOULD BUILD YOUR BUSINESS HERE, BUT ALSO LOOK AT OUR LABOR PROFILES. THEY MATCH YOU EXACTLY. THOSE ARE THE THREE MAIN THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING, BUT NEXT STEPS RUSS LOOKED LIKE MAKING THESE TOOLS MORE PALATABLE FOR OUR INTERNAL TEAM MEMBERS SO THAT THEY CAN DERIVE THE ANSWER'S THEMSELVES AS WE EACH WORK ON SEPARATE PROJECTS INDIVIDUALLY AND THAT WILL JUST HELP US MAXIMIZE OUR TIME AND ALSO B. BETTER SELECTIVE ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT WERE AN EXACT MATCH FOR AND REALLY WAY ARE GO, NO GO PROCESS. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO I DON'T HAVE ANY MUSIC. BUT LIKE DOCTOR FELT DESIGN ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING SITE SELECTORS CORPORATIONS. I THINK THAT'S. I'M THINKING ABOUT WHICH IS JUST TELL ME HOW OFTEN. SURE SO, THE DEMOGRAPHIC REPORTS ON HER WEB SITE WILL BE ANNUALLY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF REAL ESTATE, WHICH SHOULD BE QUARTERLY, ANDI AT A CERTAIN POINT ONCE WE BUILD UP THE ARCHIVE OF HISTORIC DATA, IT WILL BEGIN TO BE QUARTERLY AND AGAIN THAT WILL BE JUST FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. COME INSIDE THE BROADER SUB MARKET OF ALAN MCKINNEY. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT SO IT'S DEFINED AND THE DASHBOARD WILL BE AN ONGOING UPDATE. AS SOON AS I CAN UPDATE IT, I'LL UPDATE IT AND THAT WILL JUST WORK TOWARD OUR TEAM BEING MORE COMPETITIVE. AND IN THAT HEART TO JUST. RACING. FORGIVE ME, WHICH MIGHT TURN YOUR MICROPHONE ON RED RED LIGHT NEEDS YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU FOR THE OTHER QUESTIONS. CALL ME AT IN THE JOHN STEELE SAID. I'M HOPING THAT AT OR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT. LOOKING FOR THAT THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH DR BACK INTO SHARE THAT I MEAN, YOU GET THAT SAUCE IS NOT FREE. I GUESS IS THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN COLLEGE AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING IT IS VERY VALUABLE INFORMATION FROM HIS PLANE. FOUR STUDENTS THAT THEY START TO BUILD THAT WORKFORCE THAT YOU'RE SAYING MAYBE BEFORE ELSE IS WHY. ABSOLUTELY AND ONE SUPER IMPORTANT FACT I FORGOT IS WE DID HAVE OUR KICKOFF MEETING FOR OUR ONE DATA INITIATIVE. WHICH IS A MEETING OF THE MINDS

[00:50:05]

SO WHAT? WELL, I JUST GOT HIRED FOR WELL DONE. ALL RIGHT, MOVING OUT 20 PAST 0386

[20-0387 Consider/Discuss MEDC Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Update]

READY TO GO, SO WE WANTED TO BRING IT GIVES HIM HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT WE HAVE GOT IT DOWN TO A BALANCE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. INCLUDING ALL THOSE CUTS, AND THE NEXT MONTH IT WOULD COME TO A FULL PRESENTATION RUN THROUGH ALL THE FROM MY ARMS WHERE WE FINANCE IT STILL COULD CHANGE.

BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT MONTH, GIVEN A CZ FINANCE CONTINUES. OIL DOWN WHEN THEIR PROJECTIONS ARE THERE MIGHT BE A CHANGE WAY DIDN'T WANT FULL DRAFT, BUT NOW 30 DAYS CHANGES PEOPLE. IN JULY FOR ADOPTIONS ARE FORMAL REVIEW NEXT MONTH. OF EVERYTHING. JULY. FOR WHAT? WE WANT DIDN'T WANT TO DISCUSS TODAY. MOST OF THEM AGAINST THAT WERE. IN LINE WITH THE CITY'S DIRECTIVE FOR A HIRING FREEZE. ISRAEL REALISES. I'M SAVING SOME PERSONNEL CAUSE FROM SOME POSITIONS WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS THAT WERE NOT ACTUALLY ACTIVE IN THE ORGANISATION JUST GENERAL OPERATING COSTS. IN A LARGE PORTION OF OUR BUDGET. MOVING FORWARD FROM THIS YOUR PICTURE WILL BE SOME CARRYOVER FUNDS FROM SOME UNDERUTILIZED FUNDS THIS YEAR, SO OBVIOUSLY THINGS LIKE PROBLEM TRAINING RIGHT NOW. WE'RE WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. ALL OF OUR CONFERENCES HAVE EFFECTIVELY BEEN CANCELED FOR THE YEAR, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO CARRY FORWARD FROM THIS BUDGET. NEXT BUDGETS SUPPLEMENT. WHAT WE ANTICIPATE FOR NEXT YEAR, SO THERE'S TWO PRODUCTS BUT THE REMAINING FUNDS SO WE HAVE PROJECTS WERE CARRYING OVER ABOUT $2.5 MILLION. LAST YEAR NEXT YEAR HELP COVER SOME OF THAT WITH SOME CUTS THAT WE MADE. SHE'S SO IT'S JUST KIND OF. HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'VE
