THE WORK WHERE TERRORIST MEETING? THIS IS A MEETING, SIR. THIS IS A MEETING OF THE TAX REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE. WE'RE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS TO POINTS NORTH TENNESSEE ST MCKINNEY, TEXAS 75069. SO WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA. HE'S OKAY.
[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (For Non-Public Hearing Agenda Items)]
WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT BY JACK HARVARD. TO THE POLICE. FOR COMING UNDER UNITED SIR, WE HAVE THREE MINUTES. THINKING. MY COMMENTS WILL BE A LOT LESS CONTROVERSIAL THAN WHAT YOU'VE LEFT HURRIEDLY RECENTLY. AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO HIS FIRST IS, THANKS, STAFF. THEY'VE DONE EXCELLENT JOB OF VISITING WITH US AND TRYING TO COME TO SOLUTIONS THAT WILL SOLVE PROBLEMS THERE WITH THE PRESIDENT. I THINK THERE'S RECOMMENDATIONS THEY'RE MAKING ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE HOPE THEY'RE MAKING IS THAT. WHEN YOU'RE SPENDING TOURIST FUNDS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, AND OUR GROUP HAS FOUR BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN. THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT YOU ADD IN WHERE YOU COULD DO REPAIRS TO STRUCTURE WHEN NEEDED INAPPROPRIATE NUMBER TWO WAY WOULD LIKETO. MAKE A COMMENT THAT WHEN YOU'RE SETTING THE DOLLAR AMOUNT TO BE MADE, IT HAS BEEN 25,000 PAST. IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OF Y'ALL BEEN, THAT'S A POLICY DECISION THAT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED. AND THAT YOUR IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. WE WOULD LIKETO RECOMMEND TO YOU THAT YOU GO WITH A HIGHER NUMBER. WHATEVER STAFF MIGHT BE RECOMMENDING, BUT ALSO PUT IN A STIPULATION THAT IN THE APPROPRIATE CASE, THAT AGREEMENT IS MADE BY THE MEMBERS OF THE TOURIST BOARD. THAT NUMBER CAN BE INCREASED TO WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IS APPROPRIATE. THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR CASE, WE HAVE A BUILDING THAT'S BEEN DAMAGED BY WATER FROM THE ROADS AND REPAIRS WERE GOING TO BE. MUCH MORE HIGHER NET, PROBABLY IN THE VICINITY OF 150,000. SO WE'RE WILLING TO FRONT END THOSE THINGS. WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT WE'D LIKE TO WORK WITH CITY AND MAYBE EVEN DO IT WHERE IT'S PAID OUT OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS WHERE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO GO FOR TOURS FOR X AMOUNT OF MONEY.WELL, THEN SAY YOU CAN'T COME FOR THREE YEARS OR WHATEVER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO. AND I PERSONALLY PROBABLY MORE THAN ANYBODY. HAVING BEEN ELECTED OFFICIAL AND PLAYING IT FOR 12 YEARS, INCLUDING MAYOR HI. WISH YOU THE BEST. VERY

[20-0637 Briefing and Discussion Regarding Proposed TIRZ No. 1 Policy and Administration Changes]
I HAVE 20-063 DISCUSSION PROPOSED POLICY ADMINISTRATION CHANGES. MR GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING CHAIR. BOARD MEMBERS, MORE DOSES OF DRUGS OR A PLANE GOT A GREAT PRESENTATION THAT WAS GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL TONIGHT, GOING OVER SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS REGARDING. JUST SOME CHANGES TO THE TOURIST POLICY THAT WE HAVE. CURRENTLY SOME OF THOSE WILL MAYBE REQUIRE CHANGE THE PROJECT PLAN. OTHERS WILL NOT, HOWEVER, DUE TIME I WILL BE PRESENTING THOSE AT A LATER DATE. IF THAT IS FINE. IF YOU LIKE ME TO GET THE HIGHLIGHTS AND DIMMER QUICK, I CAN CERTAINLY DO SO. BUT I CAN CERTAINLY WAIT AND BRING HIM BACK TO ANOTHER MEETING. TO GO TO IT IN DEPTH AND HAVE A GOOD DISCUSSION. IT'S WE DON'T MEET OFTEN SO SURE. SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS ALLOWING ADDITIONAL. ELIGIBLE EXPENSES AS MR HARVARD WAS SAYING, RIGHT NOW, THE TRES ALLOWS FOR KIND OF BESIDE RENOVATIONS. SOME INTERNAL INTERIOR DEMOLITION SUMMARY MEDIATION WELL, STAFF WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE IS ACTUALLY INCLUDING MAYBE A COMPONENT FOR CRITICAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS FOR THOSE ITEMS FOR STRUCTURAL FOUNDATION REPAIRS, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, MECHANICAL AND GUTTERS. WHAT WE ALLOWS FOR TWO GRANTS WITH THE 50,000 CAP EACH AND THOSE WOULD BE MATCHING GRANTS. SO THERE'S ONE CHANGE. THIS WOULD REQUIRE CHANGE THE PROJECT PLAN, SO THAT IS ONE THING THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO. TO THE TOURIST BOARD[00:05:01]
FOR A PROJECT PLAN CHANGE MUCH LIKE WE DID FOR ALLIANCE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS IN THE FIRE SUPPRESSION CATEGORY. SPEAKING OF THE VIRUS PRESSURE PROGRAM, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE CHIEF'S ON THAT UNDER THE ALLOTMENT FOR MAKING UNDERUTILIZED BUILDINGS CREATE ANOTHER ALLOTMENT OF $100,000. FOR A DECEASED MAYBE TWO GRANTS FOR 50,000 EACH TO ADDRESS FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM UPGRADES HISTORIC BUILDINGS AROUND THE SQUARE. AGAIN, THOSE GRANTS WOULD BE A 50 50 MATCH, BUT WE'D LIKE TO DO BEFORE WE ROLLED OUT THIS PARTICULAR GRANT PROPOSAL IS TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO DETERMINE A UNIFIED PLAN FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION UPGRADES AROUND SQUARE. SO IF THERE WERE A ROW OF BUILDINGS THAT COULD ACTUALLY SHARE A RISERS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN WE WOULD DO IT AS A MORE COHESIVE PLAN INSTEAD OF PEACE. MIL. A CZ MAY COME IN. I JUST THINK IT MORE UNIFIED PLAN WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE THE PICTURE THERE IS OF US FAR HERE ON THE BIKINI SQUARE IN 18 80 SO WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENING AGAIN. ON THEN THE LAST ONE WE REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT WAS CARRY OVER. FUNNY FROM YEAR TO YEAR. CURRENTLY WE HAVE $100,000 ALLOCATED ON AND THAT EXPIRES AFTER EACH FISCAL YEAR. CURRENTLY, WE ARE USING PRETTY MUCH THAT ENTIRE ALLOTMENT OF $100,000 FOR TOURS PROJECT. HOWEVER, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO YOU DO IS IF THERE WAS SOMEBODY LEFT OVER. JUST CARRY THAT FORWARD TO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR SO THAT THAT THEN OPENS UP ADDITIONAL PROJECTS TO QUALIFY FOR THE VACANT UNDERUTILIZED PROJECTS. WHEN REACHED THE CAB WOULD NOT RICK WOULD NOT EXCEED $300,000. WE WOULD CAP THAT.AND THAT CARRY OVER WOULD NOT APPLY TO THE CRITICAL MAINTENANCE FOR THE FIRE SUPPRESSION PROGRAMS JUST FOR THE BACON UNDER UTILIZE, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW. WEAPONS TO FUNDS CARRIED OVER. YOU KNOW THAT IS A I THINK THEY JUST GO BACK INTO THE GENERAL TRES FUNDING RIGHT NOW. SO THEY'RE USED FOR OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY ALLOCATED FOR THE VACANT UNDER YOUR LIES PROJECTS. MOST THE COUNCIL. SO AGAIN, I WILL BE BRINGING ALL THIS BACK TO YOU SO WE COULD HAVE MUCH FURTHER LENGTH YOUR DEBATE AND I COULD GET YOUR THOUGHTS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S SOME GREAT THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A GREAT LINCOLN AT A LATER TIME SO. MAYBE QUESTIONS ONE. SURE.
WELL DRESSED. YOU ASKED FOR EARLIER WITH THERE BE A WAY TO ACTUALLY HAVE. ALL SEATS WHERE LOOKING PROJECTS. STILL CAPTAIN HERE CAST BUT ACTUALLY YOUR AWARD THAT WAY. STAGE PROJECT.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY? THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT AND HAVE THAT INFORMATION AT THE NEXT SERVES ME EXACTLY HOW THAT WOULD LOOK IF WE WANTED TO FRONTLOAD LARGER AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND THEN NOT ALLOW THEM TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL TERRORIST FUNDING.
FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME ASKING OR ENCUMBERING FUTURE. QUESTION. IS THIS GOING TO NO.
OVER HERE. ONE OF THE ISSUES WASS FOUNDATION PROBLEMS. WE'RE ALREADY DOING WORK THERE.
WOULDN'T BE PRUDENT TO GO FOLLOW THROUGH THAT. WE'RE GONNA GIVE MORE MINE. RAISED TO DO WORK IN ORDER TO FIX IT. THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE'RE HEADED. CONSTRUCTION YOU ALREADY GET MOVING. OTHER QUESTIONS. MY CONSERVATIVE COMPANY, LOWELL'S FEATURE.
HAPPEN TO BUSINESSES THAT NEXT YEAR THAT NEED TO BLOCK ALONG. WE'VE ALREADY ALLOCATED FUNDS FOR 34 YEARS OLD. PEOPLE GET LOANS. WE'VE ALREADY ALLOCATED FUNDS FOR THAT. SO THOSE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT NOW COME FORWARD. THEY CAN'T GET ALLOCATED FUNDS DOESN'T SET OUT TO THREE YEARS. IS CONSCIOUS OF THAT. SURE. WELL, I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF HAD CONCERNS WITH IS IF WE FRONT LOADED IT THAT WAY, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY GO THROUGH THE EXERCISE WITH LEGAL AND THE REST OF THE STAFF TO JUST SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO. HOW EXACTLY THAT WOULD LOOK, BUT THAT IS OUR CONCERN. ALSO. IF WE GET TWO LARGE WITH THE GRANTS, THEN THAT DOES TAKE MONEY AWAY TO PROJECTS FURTHER ON DOWN TO US. YES. YOU ALL WOULD BE APPROVING EVERYTHING THAT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT PHILIP
[00:10:04]
SHORTAGE. THAT WAS. ON THIS PROJECT IS. THIS IS A RELATION. THIS IS STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BUILDING. DON'T FALL. REALLY? SO THAT IS WHERE THIS CHANGE TO THE PROJECT PLAN WOULD ALLOW FOR THAT TYPE OF WAR TO OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. I JUST HAD A QUESTION WAS WHY THEY KNOW CARRY OVER. ON THOSE, OTHER UM, I THINK BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BECAUSE THEY ARE LARGER THAN WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE $50,000 FOR THE CURRENT. THEY GET UNDER YOUR LIES, BUILD LANES. AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE. WE WANTED. RESERVE AS MUCH MONEY IN THE TRES FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THESE POLICIES. WOULD THESE POLICY CHANGES? WHAT HAPPENED? WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL ALSO, THAT WE'VE GOT SEVERAL BIG PROJECTS COMING DOWN THE LINE. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE PROBABLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. DO YOU HAVE A CITY HALL SIDE THAT WE KNOW OF? THAT WILL PROBABLY USING. WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER LARGER SCALE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT WILL BE ASKING FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF TERMS MONEY. AND SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO BE MINDFUL OF TRYINGTO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALLOCATIONS FOR EVERY FOR EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING. RECENTLY. YES. SOME CLARITY IS MY COUNSEL. PERSONS ARE TALKING ABOUT. A SPECIFIC PROJECT AND I'M LOOKING AT. CHANGE IN POLICY. OR MULTIPLE PROJECTS, SOCIALIZATION CLARITY THAT I. WE HAS JUST DISCUSSED BY MR HARPER, WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING, SO THERE'S A KIND OF CONVOLUTED. POLICY BUT ALSO SPECIFIC PROJECTS ARE JUST LOOKING FOR CLARITY. HOW DOES TOO. RIGHT, SO I MEAN, WE UNDERSTAND HIS STAFF THAT STRUCTURAL ISSUES OR SOMETHING THAT HIS STORY BUILDINGS DEAL WITH ON A VERY FREQUENT BASIS.THEY'RE NOT CHEAP AS MR HARVARD. REALIZES AND NOSE ON DSO. THAT'S TOO WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO HAVE MORE MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THOSE PROJECTS. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TOO MUCH OF AN AMOUNT OF MONEY BECAUSE THEN WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. SET ASIDE FOR THESE OTHER, MUCH LARGER TOURIST PROJECT'S BECOMING CLARITY FOR FROM COUNSELING FRANKLINS. COMMITTEES. SPEAKING OF A SPECIFIC PROJECT. AND I WAS MAKING SURE WE WERE TALKING. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT POLICY, RIGHT? HEY, MISTER. THAT IS OUR FINAL. I THANK YOU, SIR. FOR YOUR IN THE DETAILS, MR HAUSER EXECUTIVE SESSION. MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOVE W
