YOU. WEEK. ALL RIGHT. STEPHEN. SPAIN. OUR. EXPLAIN OUR 18 36 VIRGINIA HERE, MCKINNEY. WHAT CAN I SAY? LOT OF THINGS I COULD SAY, BUT I WON'T I THINK THAT. AND SOMEONE IS ELECTED OFFICE. THAT KIND OF HAVE A DUE DILIGENCE TO UPHOLD CERTAIN STANDARDS. WE'VE HAD AN ETHICS POLICY. IN THIS CITY BEFORE ANYBODY SITTING ON THE CITY COUNCIL UP THERE NOW. NOT ON CITY COUNCIL. WE'VE HAD AN ETHICS, POSSIBLY FOR A LONG TIME. IT'S BEEN REVISED COUPLE TIMES. AND MR SHIN WILL EVEN SUPPORTED THE REVISION OF THAT VOTED FOR THAT. I DID FOLLOW ME.
ETHICS COMPLAINT. IT'S STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DECIDED AS TO WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE ON THAT. COUNCIL CANNOLI ADMONISH, REPRIMANDED CENTURY COUNCIL CANNOT REMOVE A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER. THAT'S WHY IT'S LEFT UP TO OTHER MEANS SUCH AS A RECALL ELECTION. NECESSARY SIGNATURES WERE COLLECTED FOR THAT. I AM. CONFIDENT THAT THE COUNCIL WILL VOTE. TO HAVE THAT RECALL ELECTION. WE'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE CITIZENS TO MAKE THE DECISION. WHETHER OR NOT MR SHIN WILL STAYS ON COUNCIL WAR. HE GETS OFF COUNCIL. I TRUST THE ELECTORATE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. THAT'S THE REASON WE HAVE ELECTIONS THIS SO THAT WE CAN ELECT PEOPLE WARREN ELECT THEM AS THE PROVISIONS CALL FOR. I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS AND DOESN'T MATTER WHICH POLITICAL PARTY YOU ARE ALIGNED WITH. THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE. CONDUCT OUR DEMOCRACY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN MCKINNEY AND IN TEXAS, WE LET THE PEOPLE KNOW THOSE DECISIONS. NO. ME. IT'S NOT FAMILIAR. IT'S NOT ANYBODY.
ELSE. IT. DECISION IT'S THE PEOPLE SO I FULLY TRUST THAT. YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING YOU'LL VOTE HAVE THE. A RECALL ELECTION. LEAVE IT UP TO THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY TO THE SIDE OF THE FUTURE. ONE OF OUR ELECTED LEADERS ON THE COUNCIL. IT'S A TOUGH DECISION. IT'S NOT AN EASY ONE TO MAKE. ESPECIALLY SINCE. WE LIVE IN TRYING TIMES WITH A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN OUR NATION, OUR CITY LOT OF THINGS TO ARGUE OVER, BUT I CHOOSE TO LOOK FORWARD. NOT TO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER THAT? THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE TO DO WHEN YOU MAKE DECISIONS. YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE FUTURE. YOU'RE LOOKING AT TRANSPORTATION. YOU'RE LOOKING AS SUPPORTING OR POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT. MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE RIGHT NOW WEREN'T HERE EARLIER TO HEAR THE POLICE CHIEF SPEAK ABOUT COMMUNITY POLICING INITIATIVES. I WISH THEY WERE. HOPEFULLY IT WILL MAKE IT ONLINE SO PEOPLE CAN LEARN WHAT A REAL POLICE DEPARTMENT IS REALLY ABOUT IN THIS CITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE SO PASSIONATE THAT THEY SHOWED UP. A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE HERE. DON'T EVEN LIVE IN MCKINNEY, BUT THEY FELT LIKE THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF US NOW ARE IMPORTANT ISSUES, SO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY WERE OBLIGED TO KILL HIM, AND I'M NOT GLAD THEY DID. THANK YOU. MR MARYK. MR. COUNSELOR. THANK YOU. LONDON AREA. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MAYOR. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I
[00:10:05]
HAVE COME HERE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS SINCE MY SON HAS BEEN ELECTED TO COUNSEL.ESPECIALLY WHEN I STARTED TO SEE THE ATTACKS ON HIM. NOT JUST HERE. BUT ON FACEBOOK PAGES ON PLACES LIKE MCKINNEY CARES WHERE I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT PAGE CAN BE CALLED.
MCKINNEY CARES. IT HAS THE MOST HORRIBLE THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN. FOR HUMAN BEINGS. THE RECALL ELECTION. THOSE THAT PARTICIPATED IN ITS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES. AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. THOSE WHO DID WHAT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE TO TRY TO GET SOMEONE REMOVED.
ILLEGALLY. AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU. YOU CALL YOURSELF LEADERS BUT BEHIND BACK DOORS, YOU'RE CORRUPT. THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE DOING. YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS DOING THAT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE I HAVE. I HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WALKED UP TO ME AND ASKED ME FOR MY SON'S TELEPHONE NUMBER BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY MEMBERS ON THIS COUNCIL. TO TAKE HIS PLACE WHEN HE HAS RECALLED. THEY HAVE BLACK. AND THEY TELL ME WHICH ONE OF YOU HAVE COME TO THEM TO TAKE PLACE WHEN HE IS RE CALLED. WHY ARE YOU APPROACHING BLACK PEOPLE ASKING THEM TO TAKE ANOTHER BLACK MAN'S PLACE WHEN HE IS RE CALLED. UNLESS IT IS FOR THE FACT THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE NOT. RACIST SO YOU GO ASK A BLACK PERSON BECAUSE YOU CAN APPOINT THEM. AND NOT HAVE TO ELECT THEM. HE HAS BEEN DULY ELECTED. HE HAS THE RIGHT TO REPRESENT DISTRICT ONE, THEY OVERWHELMINGLY VOTED FOR HIM. WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE THEIR VOICES AWAY FROM THEM? YOU ARE WRONG. AND YOU ARE WRONG TO MOVE THIS ELECTION TO A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHEN YOU KNOW THAT ALMOST EVERYBODY IN COLLIN COUNTY WILL BE VOTING ON THAT DAY, SO YOU PUT HIS NAME ON THAT. BAG. SO THESE PEOP CAN COME AND VOTE. HIM OUT OF HIS SEAT. YOU ARE WRONG. SO ARE YOU. WRONG? TOO? ALLOW PEOPLE TO POST ON YOUR WAY? BOY? PAGE? IS TOO UP. IN? THE OPEN? FOR YOU ARE WRONG. SAME ON YOU. AND YOU ARE LEADERS. THIS IS NOT LEADERSHIP. THIS IS A FIASCO. THIS IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE EFFORT, YOU'D ATTACK THEIR VOICES. YOU ARE WRONG. DISTRICT ONE KNOWS WHO THEY WANT TO REPRESENT THEM. THEY SPOKE IT AND THE ELECTED IT. SO WHAT YOU DO IS YOU REMOVE THE NUMBER. YOU REDUCE THE NUMBER AND YOU INCREASE THE NUMBER OF DAYS TO GET FRAUDULENT SIGNATURES. YOU'RE WRONG. YOU KNOW YOU ARE.
AND IF I WERE YOU WHAT WOULD REPENT AND DO IT QUICKLY BECAUSE YOUR HEART KING STOP.
JUST LIKE THAT. GOOD EVENING, MR MAYOR. COUNCIL STAFF. THOSE THAT DON'T ATTEND. MY NAME WAS A LOT OF HUDSON. MY ADDRESS IS A P O. BOX 1201 AND A TEXAS AND MR STEVE SPAIN HOUR.

I'M RELATED TO MAJORITY PEOPLE. THEY'RE HERE IN THIS ROOM. I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED HERE TO COME TO SPEAK ON SOME OF THEIR BEHALF. MR MAYOR, YOU KNOW, I HAVE SUPPORTED YOU. I WAS PART OF YOUR CAMPAIGN. I KNOCKED ON DOORS. I HAD SIGNS WE MET TOGETHER. WE PRAYED TOGETHER, CRIED TOGETHER. WE TALKED I'M HERE TODAY.

OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE. I SEE THAT WOMAN IN THE VIDEO, STICKING HER FINGERS IN HIS TRUMPET TRYING TO GRAB IT, SO I WALK OVER THERE. AND SHE'S GRABBING HIS MIC STAND.

AFTER SAI WILL BE NATALIE MONTOYA? I DO, MISS SAMEERA COUNCILMAN. MY ENEMY SIZE SHEET THAT REPRESENT THE HEARD MUSEUM. I AM IN OPPOSITION TO THE POSSIBLE SALE OF PUTTING ON
[00:25:04]
A BALLOT FOR THE SALE OF THE PARK. THAT CITY HAS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PERSON CREEK.MANY YEARS AGO. LONG BEFORE ANY OFF YOU WERE ON. I ENCOURAGE AND HELPED THE CITY COUNCIL TO PURCHASE LAND FOR FUTURE PARK BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT GREEN AREA FOR THE EAST MCKINNEY. BUT MOST IMPORTANT, IT IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE WORSE AGREE FROM THE. ART MUSEUM, WHICH IS A 289 ACRES WILDLIFE SANCTUARY. THAT WILL SUIT CREAK ON BOTH SIDES OFF THE CREEK IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY FOR ALL THE ANIMALS TO TRAVEL 10 MILES BACK AND FORTH TOO LATE, LABAN AND COME TO OUR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY. WITH ALL THE HOMES BUILD AROUND IT, THAT'S ALL ON LEE VENUE FOR THE ANIMALS TO TRAVEL FREELY. WE'RE PUTTING BATCH PLANT NOT ONLY YOU'RE AFFECTING THE WATER QUALITY PERSON CREEK. YOU'RE AFFECTING THE NOISE AND POLLUTION. THAT BATCH FLANGE CREATES STARTING TRUE CLOCK IN THE MORNING. IT WOULD BE A DETRIMENTAL TO THE FUTURE OF THE HEARD MUSEUM. AND HAS. TAKE YOU TO NOT APPROVED A BATCH PLANT SO CLOSE, LITERALLY 25 FEET AWAY FROM WILDLIFE SANCTUARY. EACH IS OUR HOME. THAT'S ALL ON LEE PLACE IN CALLING COUNTY AS A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY FOR ALL THE SPECIES OF ANIMALS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST THING THAT WE HAVE HERE WITH ALL THIS. THEY'RE BANDING GROUP IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WE HAVE OVER 300 SPECIES OF BIRDS. THAT TRAVEL FROM CANADA TO MEXICO TWICE A YEAR, AND THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE FOR THEM TO LAND HAVE YOUNG AND BEFORE THEY TRAVEL. THE NOISE POLLUTION, THE LIGHT LIKE BIG LIGHTS THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, IT WOULD DESTROY ALL THEIR MOVEMENT. THAT'S THE ONLY TIME THEY FEEL SAFE TO MOVE THIS AT NIGHT WHERE SOME CRICKETS ON LEE HIGHWAY THEY HAVE. BECAUSE WE ARE NOW TOTALLY SURROUNDED WITH THE EXPENSIVE HOMES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NATALIE AFTER WASHINGTON. YES. MY NAME IS NATALYA MONTOYA. I'M A FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN. I SPELL MY NAME CORRECTLY ON THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. UM, I HAVE A RESPECTFUL REQUEST FOR THE COUNCIL. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BRINGING UP POLITICAL PARTIES.
THE COUNCIL MEMBER GAVE A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT HOW THROCKMORTON WAS A GOOD DEMOCRAT. BUT ONE POLITICAL SCIENCE CLASS WILL TEACH US THAT IN THE 19 SEVENTIES, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ABSORBED A MAJORITY OF THE DIXIECRATS AND MANY FOLLOWED SUIT. ONE FAMOUS EXAMPLE BECAME THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT 45 YEAR OLD. ALSO WE WERE GIVEN A HISTORY INTO A PERSECUTION OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. RELIGION AND HOW THAT RELIGION WAS PERSECUTED. WHILE I DO BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO A FREEDOM OF RELIGION, I WILL REMIND EVERYBODY HERE THAT THAT PARTICULAR RELIGION IS LATENT WITH WHITE SUPREMACY HISTORY.
EVEN BANNING BLACK PEOPLE FROM GOING INTO TEMPLE OR HOLDING PRIESTHOOD. SECONDLY, NEXT, TIO.
OH, EXCUSE ME. THAT STATUE UP THERE. I'VE HEARD IT'S EXPENSIVE TO MOVE. WE LIVE IN THE DIGITAL AGE. ANYBODY HEARD OF A GO FUND ME WAKEN. RAISE THE MONEY TO GET THAT STATUE REMOVED AND, AS A GENTLEMAN SAID EARLIER. IT COULD BE PLACED IN A RESPECTABLE POSITION. AND I WANT TO REMIND THIS COUNCIL THAT LAST MEETING WE WERE ASKED TO LEAVE BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH SPACES YET. MAGA HAT BOB BACK THERE WITH HIS CONFEDERATE FLAG, YOU'LL LET HIM SIT THERE WITHOUT A MASK. NO. I AM A SURVIVOR OF COVE IN 19. I WISH THAT ON NOBODY. NOBODY ONLY PERSON WHO GAVE A CRAP ABOUT THIS PERSON OF COLOR WAS MY SON. I NEED YOU ALL TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND ASK YOURSELF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE DOING BEHIND THAT DESK AND WHY YOU BECAME COUNSEL. BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT JUST REPRESENTING A MAJORITY. YOU'RE REPRESENTING EVERYBODY. INCLUDING ALL PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT FAITHS, COLORS, BACKGROUNDS. MY GRANDFATHER MOVED TO THIS COUNTRY IN THE SIXTIES. HE DID NOT. HE DID NOT KNOW. ABOUT THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, BUT WE GOT CAUGHT UP IN IT. WE HAD A NICE HOUSE IN A RESPECTABLE PART OF WHERE WE LIVED. AND LET ME TELL YOU, WE GOT CRAP EVERY SINGLE DAY. NO, I'M NOT A RACE BASHER. I AM NOT A RELIGION BASHER. IF I WOULD BE, I'D BE HATING MYSELF. GOD MADE ME IN HIS IMAGE. GOD MADE ME AND GOD MADE YOU IN HIS IMAGE IS WELL, GOD MADE US ALL HERE IN HIS IMAGE. WHATEVER GOD THAT YOU PRAISE. LOOK TO THAT FAITH AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. WE CAN RAISE THAT MONEY AND WE COULD PUT THAT STATUE SOMEWHERE SPECIAL AND I NEED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS WHERE THE KLAN MET. AND HIS STATUE IS POINTING IN WHAT DIRECTION THANK YOU. BY ROBERT WARNED WASHINGTON. LISA WASHINGTON, 8
[00:30:17]
13 ROCK WALL STREET, 10 15 MURRAY STREET, 10 21 KING'S ROAD I AM FROM MCKINNEY. I CAME TO SPEAK ON A FEW THINGS NUMBER ONE. I WANT TO THANK. COUNCILMAN SHIM WELL, AND EVERYBODY FROM DISTRICT 123 AND WHOEVER THEY CAME OUT TO HELP WITH THE SHILOH CHURCH CLEANUP THIS WEEKEND, IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW THAT THAT REVEREND SPENCER. REST, HIS SOUL WOULD HAVE APPRECIATE Y'ALL COMING OUT AND HELPING OUT WITH THE COMMUNITY NUMBER TWO. I'M FROM MCKINNEY. I AM FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW ME.LISA WASHINGTON. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY BLACK MISS MAYFAIR AS OF MAY. IT WAS 30 YEARS. AFTER I BECAME MISS MAYFAIR IN FRONT OF THAT STATUE. WE NEVER HAD A MISS MAYFAIR PAGEANT AGAIN.
THAT STATUE REMINDS ME OF WHAT MY GRANDFATHER WENT THROUGH WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER WENT THROUGH WALKING THROUGH TOWN AND BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO STAY ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.
I'M ONLY 47 YEARS OLD, AND RACISM IS VERY MUCH ALIVE. I AGREE WITH MR STETSON, TAKE THE STATUE AND PUTTING PECAN GROVE. PUT IT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE IT AND I'M NOT SAYING PUT IT WHERE THE DEAD IS, IF YOU WANT TO RESPECT SOMEBODY RESPECT WHERE THEY ARE RESPECT WHERE THEY LAY.
I CAME HERE TODAY AND MY UNCLE PASSED AWAY AN HOUR AGO. AND I KNEW THAT THIS IS WHERE I NEEDED TO BE. BECAUSE THIS IS MY COMMUNITY, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S COMMUNITY. WE LOVE BIKINI, BUT WE KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE BLACK IN MCKINNEY. AND YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU GOT BLACK PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY UNTIL YOU'RE BLACK. AND YOU WERE IN MCKINNEY. YOU WILL SEE HOW IT WILL AFFECT YOU. AND LIKE I SAID IN THE LAST THE FIRST AND ONLY MISS BLACK MAYFAIR. AND IT WAS 30 YEARS AS A MAID, AND WE'VE NEVER HAD ANOTHER PAGEANT. SO THAT MAKES ME THINK. WHY NOT? SO NOW THAT I HAVE CROSSED OVER. AND I BECAME THE FIRST BLACK MISS MAYFAIR. WE NEVER HAD ANOTHER PAGEANT MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT IT, AND I GOT CROWNED RIGHT BY THIS THAT YOU. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT ME WHEN EVERYBODY SEE MY FACE. BECAUSE RACISM IS ALIVE IN MCKINNEY, AND BUT EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM THAT HELL CAME THAT CAME OUT THIS WEEKEND AND HELP CLEAN UP. WE CAN CLEAN UP THIS. WE CAN CLEAN UP THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. NO, I THINK YOU START BY MOVING THE STATUE. YEAH I JUST NEED TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT. ELLA GROAN ALL YOU, ELLEN, YOU'RE A GROWN STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN. OKAY, PUT YOUR PRIDE ASIDE AND JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT'S ALL I GOT WARNED, FOLLOWED BY LARRY OFFERED OFF. ROBERT OWEN. LARRY OFFERED ALL. LARRY, GO AHEAD AND SPEAK. MY NAME IS LARRY OFFERED ALL LIVE AT 24 11 PIECE TREELINE. MCKINNEY TEXAS. I AM CURRENTLY ON THE BORDER HEARD MUSEUM. AND THIS PAST YEAR WE HAD THE HONOR TO DO A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE HERD. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY'LL BE IDENTIFIED IN THE CENTURY PLAN FOR THE HERD WAS GIVE ME THAT STRESS THAT'S OCCURRING AT THE HERD. AND SINCE 182 182 ACRES. PROSPERING AH, GOOD SHARE THAT IS IN A 10 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WERE QUITE CONCERNED WITH WHEN HE HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT THE PENDING SALE OF THIS PARK LAND. WAS THAT THE IMPACT IT WILL HAVE HEARD MUSEUM. AND MY EYE WAS A FORMER PARKS AND REC DIRECTOR HERE IN KENNY FOR 17 YEARS, AND WE INITIALLY DEVELOPED ALL THE INITIAL MASTER PLANS. WILSON CREATING GREENWAY. IT HAS BEEN MY HONOR TO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE WORKING 17 YEARS YOU CITY MECHANIC BUT ALSO IN THE LAST SIX YEARS WITH HURT, SAM.
AND SO WE FEEL THAT THIS PENDING SALE. REALLY GOES AGAINST KENNY'S MOTTO OF UNIQUE BY NATURE. AND THE REASON I GOT UNDER HEARD MUSEUM BOARD WASS. HEARD OF SUCH A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, IT'S TRULY THE ONLY WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IN COLLEGE TOWN. AND SO WITH THAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO. HAVE TO TABLE THIS AGENDA ITEM AND TO DO MORE STUDIES WITH THIS AND ALSO MICHAEL WHITEHEAD, PLEASE WITH WIFE WHY HAD ENGINEERING
[00:35:01]
ENVIRONMENTAL GETTING SERVICES ON THE BOARD? HIM AND I AND ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER ACTUALLY DRAFTED THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE HERD. AND SO WE FEEL THAT THIS PLAN IS REALLY A PATHWAY FOR THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE WILDLIFE SANCTUARY, SO WITH THAT, ARE YOU MY TIME? THANK YOU. INDIANA TAYLOR, FOLLOWED BY JOE WATSON.HI. I AM INDIANA. I'M NOT FROM MCKINNEY. I'M FROM MESQUITE. UH IT'S AH, MUCH LIKE MCCAIN. HE'S FRACTIONALLY LIBERAL. IN A LOT OF TIMES, YOU MIGHT HEAR SOMEBODY SAY, LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION. LET'S TALK. LET'S HAVE A DIVERSITY COUNCIL ON SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR 400 YEARS. I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT THROCKMORTON SYMBOLIZES. HE SYMBOLIZES. HE'S A SYMBOL OF HATE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY SOMEONE HAS TO WHAT HE CALLED A RESPECT HIS HIS REST. HE'S BEEN RESTING IN PEACE. HIS LEGACY LIVES ON IN THE HATRED THAT I SAW IT OVER THERE WHILE THEY RALLIED AROUND HIM BECAUSE IT IS SO EXCELLENT TO HAVE A SLAVE HOLDER. IN THERE BECAUSE THOSE TROPHIES A MONUMENT IS A TROPHY. NOTHING ELSE. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT A HISTORY LESSON YOU COULD READ. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT LOTS OF HISTORIANS DO. THEY READ. I DON'T NEED A STATUE BECAUSE THIS SENSELESS THAT'S THAT'S NONSENSE. THEY DON'T NEED IT. STATUES OF HITLER IN GERMANY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THEM.
THEY HAVE THEM LOCKED UP. THEY DON'T HAVE THEM OUT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. AND THEY ALSO AND ALSO WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN CITY COUNCIL IS FOR, YOU KNOW, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
YOU GUYS REMEMBER THE MOVIE GREEN BOOK, RIGHT? WE DON'T HAVE THOSE ANYMORE, RIGHT? DON'T HAVE GREEN BOOKS TO TELL BLACK PEOPLE WHERE THEY SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T GO. WE HAVE, BUT WE HAVE AN INTERNAL GREEN BOOK. RIGHT. WHAT WE LOOK FOR WE LOOK FOR DUSTY ROADS, CONFEDERATE FLAGS AND NOW MONUMENTS AND GUESS WHAT? YOU HAVE SEEN ALL THREE DRUGS THROUGH HERE, SO I KNOW I'M NOT WELCOME. BUT I'LL COME HERE BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE WHO. WHO HAVE TO SEE THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES THEM FEEL I CAN LEAVE? HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THEY MAKE THAT MAKES THEM FEEL TO SEE THAT EVERY DAY AND TO KNOW THAT YOU TALKING ABOUT? TALKING ABOUT THE MAJORITY IS GOING TO RULE ON THIS. THIS IS KIND OF SEEMS LIKE THAT'S WHAT THIS ONE IS GOING TO. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHO'S THE MINORITY HERE? YOU KNOW. WHO'S GO? TO GET OUT. WAIT. BUT WE ARE WELL. IN. IN DEMOCRACY, BUT WE ALSO LIVE. IN A REPUBLIC EURO. WERE HERE. TOO. TO. REP.
NOT ONLY YOUR DISTRICT, NOT ONLY THE 70% BUT THE OTHER PERCENT THAT VOTED FOR A COUNCIL MACHINE. WILL A COUNCILMAN. THAT YOU ARE ATTACKING IN AGAIN IS ANOTHER INDICATION OF WHY NO ONE SHOULD BRING THEIR MONEY HERE. WHICH WHAT? YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW THAT BLACK BLACK BLACK ECONOMIC BASE IS SO VAST IS SO LORD, AND EVERY DAY YOU SHOW US WHERE WE'RE NOT WELCOME IN MCKINNEY. AND I ONLY COME HERE JUST TO SPEAK UP FOR THOSE THOSE THAT SMALL MAJORITY MINORITY THAT YOU THAT KEEPS GETTING DISENFRANCHISED HERE.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. GOLDWASSER FOLLOWED BY. JEWEL WATCHING HER PLAY. NO. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE THROCKMORTON STATUE. LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT. IT WAS ERECTED LONG AFTER THE CIVIL WAR IS PART OF A RACIST BACKLASH. WHY CONFEDERATE SYMPATHIZERS AGAINST THE GROWING ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE RIGHTS OF HUMANITY OF OUR NATION'S BLACK CITIZENS. STATUE GLORIFY STARK MORTON, CALLING HIM THE PATRIOT. IN A STATEMENT. STATESMEN AND PRAISING HIS PRE EMINENT PERSONAL WORTH. DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE. THROCKMORTON WAS A TRADER, NOT A PATRIOT. HIS FAILURE AS A STATESMAN AND PUBLIC SERVANT IS DEMONSTRATED IN PART BY HIS FORCIBLY ENDED ONE YEAR TERM AS GOVERNOR. AND BY HIS OUTSPOKEN RESISTANCE. TO THE 13TH AND 14TH AMENDMENTS. THE CLAIM OF HIS PRE EMINENT PERSONAL WORTH IS BELIED BY HIS VIRULENT AND OBJECT COMMITMENT TO THE OPPRESSIVE OPPRESSION AND ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACKS. MORE ACCURATE HISTORICAL RECORD WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE DARK MORTON'S LONGSTANDING ALLEGIANCE, THE CONFEDERATES CONFEDERACY AND TO ITS CENTRAL PRINCIPLE. ENSLAVING AND DEHUMANIZING BLACK PEOPLE. MORE ACCURATE HISTORICAL RECORD WITH ACKNOWLEDGE THE THROCKMORTON LEAD CONFEDERATE FORCES, DEFENDING SLAVERY AND IN AGGRESSION AGAINST THE UNITED
[00:40:03]
STATES. MORE ACCURATE HISTORICAL RECORD WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE DOC MARTENS LEADERSHIP OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF 18 66 THAT EXPLICITLY REFUSED TO CITE THE 13TH AMENDMENT. AND THE DENIED BLACK MEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE. THESE ARE EXCLUSIONS THAT HE BOLDLY CHAMPION. SORRY. MY BREATH HERE. MORE ACCURATE HISTORICAL RECORD WITH SHOW THROCKMORTON OPEN DEFIANCE OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT THAT GAVE ADDITIONAL RATES TO THIS NATION'S BLACK CITIZENS. SOME MIGHT CLAIM HE WAS A MAN OF HIS TIME. HE WASN'T. WAS A MAN WHO TENACIOUSLY HELD TO OUTDATED AND HARMFUL BIGOTRIES DESPITE REPEATED CONDEMNATION FROM HIS CONTEMPORARIES. THAT SAID SHE WAS A CONTINUED INSULT EVERY BLACK PERSON WHO WALKS PAST IT'S ELEVATED PERCH. UNLESS YOU TEAR THAT STATUE DOWN. WHAT IT DOES AND BODY. IT'S A SPIRIT AND ATTITUDE OF MOST OF MCKINNEY CITY COUNCIL. THEY PROBABLY FOLLOWED BY. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER STAFF. THE WHOLE CITIZENS. I'LL TAKE THIS OFF. MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT. HER NAME'S KENNETH HOLLOWAY. I'M A RESIDENT AT 10 7 NO. EIGHT PATENT DROP HERE. MCKINNEY. SPOKE LAST WEEK AND WAS PLAYING TO SPEAK THE WAY BEFORE THAT. SO GET USED TO ME BECAUSE I'M PROBABLY GONNA BE A PERMANENT FIXTURE COMING THROUGH. A CZ. THERE'S OBVIOUSLY I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT, RIGHT LOCAL GOVERNMENT. WE SHOULD ALL BE IN INFORMED AND I JUST WANT EXERCISE. MY RIGHT AS WELL.BEEN HERE ABOUT 14 15 MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY COUNT MENTION MY BARBER GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM OVER.
THE YEARS ARE THE YEAR SO THAT I'VE BEEN HERE AND JUST OBVIOUSLY WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT THE CONFEDERATE STATUE. MR MAYOR FULLER. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE THE MAYOR OF ALL THE RESIDENTS OF MCKINNEY. I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT I JUST WANT TO STATED FOR THE RECORD, AND SO WHEN YOU HAVE A BODY OF PEOPLE COME IN, THAT'S EXPRESSING SOME CONCERNS, AND SOME HURTS THAT THEY FEEL FROM THAT STATUE. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THAT. I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU'RE A GOOD GUY. I MEAN, I REALLY DO AND I WANT TO APPEAL TO YOUR BETTER JUDGMENT. AND WHEN YOU HEAR A COLLECTIVE MASS OF PEOPLE THAT SAYS THIS MAKES ME FEEL A CERTAIN TYPE OF WAY.
HEY, YOU GOT YOU GOT TO ACT ON IT, RIGHT? I MEAN, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT THAT IF YOU KNOW A LARGE BODY OF WHITE RESIDENTS CAME AND SAID, THIS MAKES ME FEEL A CERTAIN WAY YOU WOULDN'T TO TAKE THAT CALL. AND RUN WITH THAT AND DO WHAT YOU COULD TO SATISFY. CITIZENS OF THAT COMMUNITY SO AGAIN, LIKE I SAID LAST WEEK, YOU LAST WEEK TO YOU LEADERSHIP MATTERS AND YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS HERE, AND I DON'T THINK I KNOW WE VOTED LAST WEEK TO HAVE THE TASK FORCE AND THAT'S GOING TO GO ON AND ALL THAT. BUT I THINK THAT'S REALLY JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD LIKE IT'S. IT'S NO, IT'S NO BRAINER. REALLY I MEAN, WE'RE ALL SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THE GUY WAS A CONFEDERATE GENERAL. WE KNOW WHAT SIDE HE STOOD ON IT AND THEY DIDN'T WIN AND IT'S I MEAN, TANG THERE.
CALL IT TREASONOUS IF YOU WANT TO STILL SUPPORT THAT. I MEAN, THE GUY SPOKE LAST WEEK TALKING ABOUT WE HATE AMERICA. BUT HE'S. BRANDISHING CONFEDERATE FLAGS IS LIKE WHICH ONE ARE YOU EITHER CONFEDERATE? ARE YOU AMERICA, WHICH ONE? IT'S CONFUSING, RIGHT? IT'S ACTUALLY NOT PRETTY SIMPLE, BUT FOR HIM, HE SEEMS A LITTLE CONFUSED. ALSO WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT. MAYOR PRO TEM BRAINY ON WHAT YOU MENTIONED LAST WEEK. DURING YOUR COMMENTS SECTION.
YOU TALKED ABOUT? HE LOOKED ACROSS THE ROOM AND YOU SAID, UH, ASSUME THAT PEOPLE WERE DEMOCRATS. I'M ASSUMING YOU DID THAT BASED OFF OF COLOR, BUT THAT'S YOU DID MAKE THAT CLAIM.
AND YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T LOOK AT SOMEBODY UNTIL WHAT THEIR POLITICAL AFFILIATION IS. YOU CAN'T LOOK AT SOMEBODY UNTIL WITH THEIR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION IS YOU CAN'T LOOK AT SOMEBODY UNTIL YOU LOOK AT SOMEBODY. INTEL IS WHAT COLOR THEY ARE RIGHT? AND SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE INAPPROPRIATE ON YOUR PART TO DO THAT. IT JUST AGAIN. IT ALMOST CONTRADICTED. YOU SAID THAT THROCKMORTON WAS A GOOD GUY. BUT THEN YOU CLAIM THAT DEMOCRATS DURING THAT TIME WERE RACIST AND STOOD FOR A CERTAIN THING. THAT OPPRESS BLACK PEOPLE. BUT YET YOU CALL ROCK. A DAY. SO THEY, IN THAT INSTANCE THAT SHE SHALL TELL YOU THAT PEOPLE. WAS. A GUY. GUY. AND BUY IT. OWN. HAND. AND THAT LOOKS LIKE I'M RUN. OF TIME. BOB. BACK. NEXT. WEEK. RIGHT? NO, COUNSEL. I'M JULIE LEWTON. I'M A 19 YEAR RESIDENT OF KENNY AND I'M ALSO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE MCKENNY DEMOCRATS. YOU CAN LOOK AT ME AND TELL MY POLITICAL AFFILIATION AND WEAR A MASK AND A SHIRT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CLEAR. LAST WEEK. A SITTING COUNCIL MEMBER, THE MAYOR PRO TEM DECIDED TO YOU TO USE HIS TIME ON THE DAIS TO TALK ABOUT HIS VIEW OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TRYING TO EQUATE. 150 YEAR OLD PARTY PLATFORM WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS WEARING A MCKENNEY DEMOCRATS SHIRT WHO
[00:45:03]
ALSO HAPPENED TO BE MY SISTER, WHO WAS SPEAKING FOR ME ON THAT DAY. THOUSANDS OF DEMOCRATS LIVIN MCKENNEY TODAY AND AS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER ALSO REPRESENTS THOSE DEMOCRATS. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL IF I SHARED THE CURRENT PARTY PLATFORM FOR THE DEMOCRATS.FIRST OF ALL, WE BELIEVE BLACK LIVES MATTER. A VOTE FOR THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF THE STATUE IS BEST FOR THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IT IS DIVISIVE AND HATEFUL AND RACIST. THE STATUES FROM A TIME WHEN THROCKMORTON AND OTHER TAXES FOE TWO. THAT THEY COULD CONTINUE TO ENSLAVE AN ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE. IT IS REMARKABLE THAT WE'RE STILL DISCUSSING THIS TODAY. WHAT THAT STATUE REPRESENTS NOT ONLY TO BLACK AMERICANS, BUT ALSO TO ANYONE WHO IS AN ALLY. IS SHAMEFUL. DEMOCRATS ALSO BELIEVE AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, A FACT THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO ALL OF OUR TENSIONS HERE IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC. HOW IMPORTANT IT IS, WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY FOR LGBTQ Q INDIVIDUALS WE BELIEVE, AND WATER ANNE. KLAY. AIR REGULATION TO PROTECT OUR FAMILIES. WE BELIEVE IN PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALL SO WE CAN HAVE GOOD JOBS AND GOOD LIVINGS HERE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. WE ALSO BELIEVE IN FAIR IMMIGRATION, WHEN WE TREAT PEOPLE WITH HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT SO THAT WE CAN STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE CAN PROTECT OUR ECONOMY. WE BELIEVE IN INSISTENCE AND ACCESS FOR THOSE WHO ARE DISABLED, AND WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN SHOULD BE ABLE TO VOTE SAFELY AND SECURELY AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR VOTE IS COUNTED. WE BELIEVE IN A CITY AND WE BELIEVE IN A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE AND OF THE PEOPLE. NOW REGARDING THOSE SAME COMMENTS FROM LAST WEEK. YES, WE ARE GOOD, STRONG DEMOCRATS AND WE WERE WORKING VERY HARD TO CREATE A BETTER COMMUNITY. A STRONGER COMMUNITY BASED ON CIVILITY AND RESPECT FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE HERE. ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING TO VOTE IN EVERY SINGLE ELECTION FROM CITY COUNCIL TO JUDGE TO COUNTY COMMISSIONER TO SENATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE WE DESERVE REPRESENTATIVES WHO REPRESENT US ALL AND CARE ABOUT ALL OF OUR WELL BEINGS. IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE, AND YOU WERE IN THIS ROOM, THERE SHOULD BE PEOPLE OUTSIDE WHO CAN HELP YOU BECOME REGISTERED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MAKING THEIR CITY COUNCIL WHAT MAKES HIS BRIEF SIX YEAR RESIDENT OF THE CITY MCKINNEY AND SIX YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE. I'VE NOTICED THAT WE'RE NOT A CITY WITH A RACIAL PROBLEM LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER. WE ARE THE ANSWER. SO OUR TIME HERE SHOULD BE USED TO PROVIDE BETTER GOVERNMENTS FOR THE CITY. BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO ENGAGE IN THIS ACTIVITY, THEN LET'S DO IT THE CORRECT WAY TO REMOVE ANYTHING CONNECTED WITH SLAVERY. LET'S DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. YOU KNOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WAS THE PARTY OF SLAVERY.
THEY WERE PART OF THE CAKE WITH A PART OF JIM CROW. THE BLACK COAT AND A SLAVE LAW. PIG. THEY WANT. POOR. IT WAS IN THE WRONG SIDE. OF JESSE. VERSE. PLESSY V. FERGUSON AND BOW. FIRST.
BOY. OF EDGE. THERE. WAS A. I WAS AGAINST. IT. SIR. DIDN'T ONE. TO VOTE. OR BLACK. THAT ONLY PART OF IT. SO THE BLACK VOTE. OR TAKE NINE OR SO. PARTICIPATION. DOWN. THERE. Z.

BLACK? FUR? PUSHED UP? BLACK MAN. OUT. THERE. WERE WE? IN? WITH IT. OF THAT NOW. THIS IS THE. OF THAT THAT PAST CRIME BILL. PUT ME OF BLACK PEOPLE JAIL. IT'S OKAY RACES. WHITE PRESIDENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ANY CONNECTION TO SLAY, LET DO IT. THE CORRECT WAY. JUST OF ED. DEMOCRAT. BENTLEY.
GOOD EVENING, MR MAYOR. AND TO THIS DAY AWAITING CITY COUNCIL IN CITY MANAGER GRIMES LIKE TIO SHIFT JUST A LITTLE BIT. THE CONVERSATION BUT IT STILL WORKS IN TANDEM WITH WAS BEEN DISCUSSED. ON JULY 25 2020 THIS CONSULTANT FOR THE CITY'S HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OFFICE. RESENTED OVERVIEW ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STUDY AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WHILE THE STUDY CONTINUES TO BE DEVELOPED,
[00:50:03]
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT STOOD OUT. AND I'LL SHARE THESE TO THE 1ST 1 IS THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF OVER 3000 HOUSING UNITS. FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS, WHO MAKE LESS THAN $35,000 A YEAR. NUMBER TWO, THE VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF HOMES UNDER $200,000 PARTICULARLY IN THE 75069 ZIP CODE. SO WHEN CONSIDERING THIS INFORMATION ALONG WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY'S CURRENT CITY OF IMPACT FEES, WHICH WE JUST HEARD IN THE PREVIOUS WORK SESSION. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER THE HOUSING STUDY THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN STARTING IN 2004 REGARDING IMPACT FEES. FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, AND I KNOW IT INTIMATELY BECAUSE I HELP REPAIR IT. AS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND WHAT IT DEALT WITH IS PARTICULARLY DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY FIVE AND INFILL HOUSING. AND I ASKED THOSE. THAT THAT STUDY BE REVIEWED BECAUSE IT GAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW. IMPACT FEE WAIVERS, PARTICULARLY FOR NFL HOUSING. BUT BECAUSE OF THE REDEVELOPMENT THAT'S TAKING PLACE ACROSS HIGHWAY FIVE. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE HOUSING THE BUSINESS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE BOARD. BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF BUSINESSES. THERE ARE A LOT OF HOMES THAT COULD BE REBUILT. WERE IT NOT FOR THE COST. AND THE BARRIERS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE COST. SO AS YOU REVIEW THE IMPACT FEES FOR REDEVELOPMENT, PLEASE DON'T JUST CONSIDER. BUILDING AT WEST ARE EVEN GOING NORTH, BUT CONSIDERED THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU HAVE TO ALLOW PERSONS WHO ARE CURRENT RESIDENCE TO REBUILD WHERE THEY ARE. AND TO REMAIN WHERE THEY ARE EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE. IT'LL BE HELPFUL TO CONSIDER THAT AS YOU REVIEW THE IMPACT STUDY. PLEASE DON'T REVIEW IT IN A SILO. REVIEW IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HISTORICAL DOCUMENT THAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE THAT CONSIDERS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS AT THE TIME THERE WAS A PRESIDENT ID. $1 MILLION FOR THE GENERAL PHASE THAT WERE WAVED AND THAT WERE PUT FORTH BY THE CITY SO IT CAN BE DONE. THANK YOU. TAMARA JOHNSON. I CAN TELL. WE HAVE A GUEST NUMBER. PEOPLE FEEL THAT GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. FROM THE HOME GOING CELEBRATION OF REPRESENTATIVE JOHN R. LEWIS ARE THESE WORDS FROM PASTOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK. OF THE EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH. IN A MOMENT WHEN THERE ARE SOME IN HIGH OFFICE WHO ARE MUCH BETTER AT DIVISION, THEN VISION WHO CANNOT LEAD US. SO THEY SEEK TO DIVIDE US. IN A MOMENT WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH POLITICAL CYNICISM AND NARCISSISM THAT MASQUERADES AS PATRIOTISM. HERE LIES A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT WHO RISKED HIS LIFE AND LIMB FOR THE HOPE AND THE PROMISE OF DEMOCRACY. AND FROM A DISSERTATION. BY KENNETH WAYNE HEALTH. THUS THROCKMORTON AND HIS CONSTITUENTS WERE CONFRONTED WAS SEVERAL DIFFICULT CHOICES. TAKE IT EITHER FLEE THE STATE NORTHWARD AND LIVE UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THEY COULD REMAIN IN TEXAS. I CONTINUE TO OPPOSE THE CONFEDERACY. OR THEY COULD ACCEPT AND DEFEND THEIR STATE'S DECISION TO LEAVE THE UNION. WHAT MORTON CHOSE TO REMAIN IN HIS HOME STATE AND TO PLEDGE LOYALTY TO THE CONFEDERATE GOVERNMENT. THERE CAN BE LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE SENATOR'S DECISION TO MAKE AN OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE CONFEDERACY WAS BASED ON POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY. AND A DESIRE TO DEFEND THE FRONTIER, CULTURE AND SOCIETY IN THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE STATE. RIDING TO HIS FRIEND BENJAMIN H. EPPERSON ON JANUARY 1919. I'M SORRY. 18 62. RIGHT MORNING, EXPLAINED HIS DECISION. THAT QUOTE. REASON HAS BECOME DETHRONED IN THE NORTH. AND WAS THAT VERY STABLE IN THE SOUTH? SUCCESS WITH THE BLACK REPUBLICANS[00:55:03]
WOULD MAKE AS HUGH HOURS OF WOOD. ANDREW HOURS OF WATER. AND WE'LL START HEAD AS ARTIST AN ATTACHMENT FOR THE OLD GOVERNMENT. AS ANY MAN LIVING. I WOULD NOT CONSIDER IT TO REUNITE WITH THE NORTH. RIGHT, MARTIN CONTINUED, SAYING THE STRUGGLE IS OVER WITH ME. WE HAD BETTER BE SEPARATE. OUR INTERESTS, PURSUITS AND HABITS ARE TWO DIVERSIFIED EVER TO BE MADE TO HARMONIZE. COUNCILMAN SHIM WELL. THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD TROUBLE YOU HAVE. BROUGHT TO THIS COMMUNITY AND I BELIEVE IT'S GARA. FOLLOWED BY ERIC RAN SEES SABRINA KARA. THAT'S CORRECT. ERIC RAMSEY. SEE. SUPPORTS REMOVING THE STATUTE. ANY WATKINS. THESE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT JUST FILLED OUT A CARD, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT CHECKED OFF, BUT GIVE THEM.SECONDS TO MAKE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN. OTHERWISE, I'LL STATE THAT THEY ARE IN SUPPORT.
TAKING DOWN A TRUCK. SRINAGAR'S IS IN SUPPORT OF TAKING DOWN THE STATUE. ISABEL MARTINEZ. I BELIEVE. IS IN SUPPORT OF TAKING DOWN THE STATUTE. ISSUERS STARTS WITH S. SORRY I CAN'T BE THE NAME BUT IT IS SUPPORT FOR TAKING THAT STATUTE. YOU ALSO HAVE BETH KELLER, WHO WISHES TO MAKE HER SUPPORT KNOWN FOR MOVING THE STATUE. CHRISTOPHER GASPARD OR GASPARD AND LEAVE. AND SUPPORTIVE REMOVING THE STATUE. AND JACKIE JONES EYES IN SUPPORT OF REMOVING THE STATUTE. ONLY. THREE OTHER CARDS FOR KNOWLEDGE AND ITEMS OF LOTTERY PIZZA. DO THOSE NOW THAT'LL BE THE DAY. FINAL COMMENTS TODAY. KENNEDY TAYLOR.
AGENDAS, CAVITIES. I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE ABOUT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE OR PEOPLE WERE WEARING BLACK AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. MY BLACK IS ASSOCIATED WITH POWER. MY BLACK IS ASSOCIATED WITH STRENGTH. MY BLACK IS ASSOCIATED WITH FORMALITY, ELEGANCE, AUTHORITY AND SOPHISTICATION. MY BLACK IS SERIOUS. MY BLACK IS PROFESSIONAL. MY BLACK IS CONVENTIONAL. BLACK IS A SYMBOL OF GRIEF. IT'S A REMINDER THAT NO MATTER WHICH SHEEP'S CLOTHING I PUT ON TO MAKE IT IN A SYSTEM THAT WAS DESIGNED AGAINST ME THAT MY BLACK MATTERS. DO YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AT YOUR BLACK TIE EVENTS? DO YOU FEEL AGGRESSIVE WHEN YOU YOURSELF WERE BLACK? YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE BLACK LISTING BLACK SHEEP ING BLACKMAILING AND BLACKING US OUT COMPLETELY OF OUR COMMUNITIES BUILT ON THE BACKS OF OUR ANCESTORS. OH FEEL OFFENDED WHEN WE TAKE BACK THE VERY THINGS YOU ALWAYS DEPRESSED US WITH. MY BLACK.
IT'S LOUD. MY BLACK WILL NOT BE SILENCED. MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL AND MY BLACK FACE WILL NOT BE WASHED AWAY. WHAT'S YOUR BLACK? AND WHY DOES IT SEEM SO GREATLY DIFFERENT FROM MINE? WHAT COLOR WILL BE DEEMED AGGRESSIVE NEXT? NOT BECAUSE OF THE ACTUAL INTENT, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU DEEM AGGRESSIVE. IF AGGRESSION DID HAVE A DRESS CODE, IT MIGHT LOOK A LOT LIKE ALL OF YOU AND I DON'T SEE A BLACK SHIRT IN SIGHT. LUCIA. LUCIA 44 90 ELDORADO PARKWAY AND KENNY, TEXAS. FOLKS. I'VE HEARD THE WORDS OF REVEREND DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BEING READ RECENTLY IN DISCUSSIONS IN THIS CHAMBER, AND SO RIGHT NOW, I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVOKE SOME LESSER QUOTED WORDS FROM DR KING. AS I READ. PLEASE THINK OF THE WORD MODERATE NOT AS A POLITICAL LOCATION BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT. BUT AS A BROAD PHILOSOPHY AND OUTLOOK ON LIFE, BECAUSE I BELIEVE EACH ONE OF US HAS THE DUTY TO FIND MODERATION BETWEEN EXTREMES. NOW QUOTING I MUST CONFESS THAT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WHITE MODERATE. I HAVE ALMOST REACHED THE REGRETTABLE CONCLUSION THAT THE NEGROES GREATEST STRUGGLING BLOCK. AND HIS STRIDE TOWARD FREEDOM IS
[01:00:02]
NOT THE WHITE CITIZENS COUNCIL OR THE KU KLUX KLAN. ER, BUT THE WHITE MODERATE WHO IS MORE DEVOTED TOE ORDER THAN TO JUSTICE, WHO PREFERS A NEGATIVE PIECE, WHICH IS THE ABSENCE OF TENSION. TO A POSITIVE PIECE, WHICH IS THE PRESENCE OF JUSTICE. WHO CONSTANTLY SAYS I AGREE WITH YOU AND THE GOAL YOU SEEK, BUT I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOUR METHODS OF DIRECT ACTION.PATERNALISTIC LEE BELIEVES HE CAN SET THE TIMETABLE FOR ANOTHER MAN'S FREEDOM WHO LIVES BY A MYTHICAL CONCEPT OF TIME AND WHO CONSTANTLY ADVISES THE NEGRO TOE. WAIT FOR A MORE CONVENIENT SEASON. SHALLOW UNDERSTANDING FROM PEOPLE OF GOODWILL IS MORE FRUSTRATING THAN ABSOLUTE MISUNDERSTANDING FROM PEOPLE OF ILL WILL LUKEWARM ACCEPTANCE IS MUCH MORE BEWILDERING THAN OUTRIGHT REJECTION. I HAD HOPED THAT THE WHITE MODERATE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT LAW AND ORDER EXIST FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING JUSTICE AND THAT WHEN THEY FAIL IN THIS PURPOSE THAT BECOME THE DANGEROUSLY STRUCTURED DAMS THAT BLOCKED THE FLOW OF SOCIAL PROGRESS. I HAD HOPED THAT THE WHITE MODERATE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRESENT TENSION IN THE SOUTH IS A NECESSARY PHASE AND THE TRANSITION FROM AN OBNOXIOUS NEGATIVE PIECE IN WHICH THE NEGRO PASSIVELY ACCEPTED HIS UNJUST PLATE. TO A SUBSTANTIVE AND POSITIVE PEACE IN WHICH ALL MEN WILL RESPECT THE DIGNITY AND WORTH OF HUMAN PERSONALITY. ACTUALLY WE WHO ENGAGED IN NONVIOLENT DIRECT ACTION ARE NOT THE CREATORS OF TENSION. WE MERELY BRING TO THE SURFACE THE HIT INTENTION THAT IS ALREADY ALIVE. WE BRING IT OUT IN THE OPEN WHERE IT CAN BE SEEN AND DEALT WITH, LIKE A BOIL THAT CAN NEVER BE CURED SO LONG AS IT HAS COVERED UP BUT MUST BE OPENED WITH ALL ITS UGLINESS TO THE NATURAL MEDICINES OF AIR AND LIGHT.
INJUSTICE MUST BE EXPOSED WITH ALL THE TENSION. IT'S EXPOSURE CREATES. TO THE LIGHT OF HUMAN CONSCIENCE AND THE AIR OF NATIONAL OPINION BEFORE IT CAN BE CURED. SEVEN. DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

[20-0652 Consider/Discuss/Act on Fiscal Year 2020-21 Proposed Tax Rate, Take Record Vote and Set Public Hearing and Adoption Date]
REQUIRE A VOTE ON A PUBLIC HEARING AN ADOPTION RATE. YOU'RE ALL RIGHT NOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS PROCEDURAL AND NOT WE'RE ADOPTING. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. WHILE SHE'S PULLING UP THE PRESENTATION. I WILL SAY THAT YOU ARE CORRECT. THIS IS A PROCEDURAL MATTER TONIGHT. WE WILL BE TAKING A TAX RATE RECORD VOTE. THAT RECORD VOTE[01:05:05]
WILL PROPOSE THE ATTACKS RATE. HOWEVER THAT'S A TAX WRITE CEILING THAT IT WILL BE PROPOSING. IT WILL SCHEDULE THE ONE PUBLIC HEARING AND THAT IS A CHANGE IN THE LAW. FROM THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS, THEY USED TO BE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS REQUIRED ON THE TAX RATE WILL BE SCHEDULING. THE ONE IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE. AND THEN WE WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE ADOPTION DATE OF THE TAX RATE, WHICH WILL BE SEPTEMBER THE 15TH WHEN WE ADOPT THE BUDGET.SO, LIKE I SAID, THIS VOTE WILL BE REQUIRED WITH SPECIFIC WORDING OF EMOTION, AND THAT MOTION IS BEFORE Y'ALL TONIGHT BELIEVE THAT PROVIDED THE PAPER COPY UP THERE. AND IT ALSO WILL SET THE TAX RATE CEILING FOR FISCAL YEAR 21. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR PROPOSING THAT TAX RATE AND ONCE AGAIN THAT TAX RATE CEILING WILL BE SET AT 515600 UM. BECAUSE THAT IS THE TAX RATE THAT IS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR FISCAL YEAR 20. NOW THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED TAX RATE IN THE BUDGET WILL BE LESS THAN THIS TAX RATE CEILING. I CAN'T TELL YOU ALL THAT. SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING FOR YEARS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.
WELL THAT IS THAT IS THAT THAT LANGUAGE IS NOW ANTIQUATED. SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT NO NEW REVENUE RATE. IT'S A RIGHT THAT IT'S A CALCULATED RATE THAT WE PROVIDE A TAXING UNIT WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUES. ON PROPERTIES, SIMILAR PROPERTIES AND IF TAXED IN BOTH YEARS. UH, FOR INSTANCE, IF PROPERTY VALUES RISE, THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE WILL GO DOWN AND VICE VERSA. IF THE PROPERTY VALUES GO DOWN, THEN THE REVENUE RATE WILL GO UP. THIE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, WHICH WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE ROLLBACK. GREAT WAS ONCE 8% NOW IT IS 3.5% ABOVE THE NO NEW REVENUE RAPE. SO IF WE GO ABOVE THAT 3.5% WHICH IS LESS THAN THAT, ACTUALLY, IT'S MORE THAN THE CEILING THAT WERE PROVIDING TONIGHT ELECTION WOULD BE REQUIRED INSTEAD OF FORMERLY IT COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED. HERE ARE KIND OF THE COMPARISON OF THE RATES. THE TAX RATE CEILING FROM LAST YEAR WAS 5 TO 5170 WE ADOPTED 515600 WHICH IS THE TAX RATE SEALING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT. NO NEW REVENUE RATE IS 0.508645. WHICH IS ABOUT 7/10 OF A PENNY LESS THAN THE TAX RATE CEILING. AH, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE ARE IN OUR DEBT RATE WILL BE AND THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, WHICH IS THE 3.5% ABOVE IS 0.517652.
WAY ALWAYS SHOW THIS TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR TAXABLE VALUE HISTORY. YOU CAN SEE THAT. HOW? HOW THEY'VE RISEN OVER, TOM, THIS YEAR ARE TAXABLE RATE ARE TAXABLETA VALUE ON THE APPRAISAL ROLE IS A 24.5 BILLION. THIS IS AN INCREASE. OUR MEANS. 24.5 BILLION, WHICH IS ABOUT AN INCREASE OF $1.1 BILLION OVER LAST YEAR. 770 MILLION OF THAT WILL BE A NEW NEW NEW PROPERTIES ON THE ROLL, AND WE'RE DEALING WITH A CERTIFIED ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW, INSTEAD OF A CERTIFIED TAX ROLL. THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE ADOPTING OUR RIGHTS ON THIS YEAR, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT THOSE CERTIFIED ESTIMATES ARE SHOWING THAT OUR CURRENT VALUES WHICH ARE PROPERTIES TEXT IN BOTH YEARS, ARE UP ABOUT 1.1. I KNOW THAT DURING THE SPRING AND A LITTLE BIT IN THE SUMMER, WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ABOUT 1/4 PERCENT.
INCREASED VALUE HOME VALUES. WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 1.1 IS WHAT THE CAT ESTIMATED ON JULY 24TH. SPECIFICALLY ON THE TAX RATE THAT HAS NOT CHANGED. STILL TWO PARTS TO THAT, AN I N S SIDE, WHICH IS THE DEBT SERVICE RATE. IT'S SET TO MATCH THE AMOUNT THAT WERE REQUIRED TO. FOR OUR DEBT SERVICE IN A GIVEN YEAR, AND THEN THE EMMA. NO TAX RATE, WHICH IS MAINTENANCE OPERATION IT FUNDS ARE GENERAL FUND OPERATIONS THAT'S PARKS, PUBLIC SAFETY. UH AND. ALL THOSE THINGS, AND THEN IT IS ALSO BUT IT IS THE PART THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE NO NEW REVENUE AND THE VOTER APPROVAL CALCULATIONS. THIS IS OUR TAX WRITE HISTORY FROM FISCAL YEAR 12 TO FISCAL YEAR 20 AND THEN WE ALSO PUT IN THERE. THE PROPOSED CEILING, WHICH IS THE FOB 156 NUMBER THAT YOU SEE FROM FISCAL YEAR 20. THE IMPORTANT DATES AHEAD ON AUGUST THE 14TH. WE WILL HAVE OUR BUDGET WORK SESSION HERE. SEPTEMBER. THE FIRST IS A FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET. ON SEPTEMBER THE 15TH WE WILL HAVE A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET. WE DID HAVE A PUBLIC INPUT ON THE BUDGET IN IN THE IN MAY ON, WE HAVE THE RESULTS OF THAT TOWN HALL, WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOU. ON AUGUST, THE 14TH AND ALSO ON THIS IN THAT SECOND MEETING AND ON SEPTEMBER WILL ALSO BE HAVING THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT YOU'LL BE CALLING, POSSIBLY CALLING TONIGHT ON THE TAX RATE.

IT IS APPROXIMATELY 28 ACRES IN SIZE, AND IT IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH AND WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF BLOOM, DALE AND 75 THOSE OF YOU ON THE COUNCIL MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE COLIN SQUARE PROJECT, WHICH IS THERE AT THE HARD CORNER. THIS IS JUST WEST OF THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY FROM P TO P D TO ALLOW SORT OF A SHUFFLING AND A REARRANGEMENT OF SOME OF THE ALLOWED USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. AS PART OF THE PROPOSAL, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING I CAN'T PULL UP THE EXIT HERE. IS REQUESTING TIO. DIVIDE THE TRACT INTO TWO TRACKS. ONE ON THE WEST SIDE WOULD ALLOW FOR TOWNHOMES AND THEY TRACKED ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE WOULD ALLOW FOR MULTI FAMILY. THIS TRACK CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR A MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. HOWEVER, WITH THE RESHUFFLING OF THESE USES OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, IT WOULD LIMIT IT TO TOWN HOMES AND MULTI FAMILY. THERE IS MULTI FAMILY IMPEDIMENTS TO THE SOUTH OF DISTRACT. IN FACT, AMUSING ANNOTATIONS. RIGHT HERE IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED FOR MULTI FAMILY AND JUST EAST OF THIS AGAIN, IS THAT COLIN SQUARE? DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A HIGHER INTENSITY OF COMMERCIAL MULTI FAMILY USES, AS WELL AS PART OF THE REQUEST STAFF HAS LOOKED AT THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN IT DOES IT DOES DESIGNATE THIS AREA FOR URBAN LIVING. WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THE REQUEST. WE DO THINK THAT IT IS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT COLIN SQUARE CONCEPT IN PROVIDING DENSITY AND RESIDENTS TO THE AREA. WE DID TAKE THE ATOM TO PLANNING AND ZONING EARLIER HER. I GUESS IT WAS LAST MONTH. NOW IN JULY, THEY'VE OFFERED A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

THEY'RE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, BOB ROAD OR 1700 RED BUDS, SUITE 300 MCKINNEY ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. I THINK JENNIFER'S REPORT IS VERY THOROUGH. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS ENTIRE PROPERTY IS ENTITLED FOR MULTI FAMILY IS PART OF THE USE. MY CLIENT AND LOOKING AT THE ADJACENT LAND USES ACROSS COMMUNITY DRIVE TO THE WEST CREEK. HOLLA SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION FELT LIKE IT WAS BETTER TRANSITION TO PUT TOWNHOMES ALONG COMMUNITY. DR. WHICH IS THE 16 IKER PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN TO TAKE THE NORTH EAST PORTION OF THE PROPERTY ON DH MAKE IT INTO A MULTI FAMILY ZONING. THAT'S SIMILAR TO THAT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ENTITLED TO THE SOUTH. UM, WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE CREEK. HOLLA AWAY, SENT THEM ALL THE INFORMATION REALLY GOT NO NOTHING BACK FROM THEM, WHICH I TAKE SOMETIMES IT BY THEIR SILENCE. IT'S THEIR APPROVAL, BUT. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE TODAY. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. RATIONS FOR YOU. LAST QUESTION.SO YOU WANT YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS RIGHT THERE TO MAKE MULTIPLE HOUSE, SIR? THAT'S MULTI FAMILY. AND THEN THIS ONE'S ALREADY THAT'S CORRECT. RUSSIANS. ABOUT THE QUESTION IS.
YOU'RE BASICALLY TAKING MULTI FAMILY THAT WAS RIGHT ON THE SOUTH AND MOVING OUT TO QUESTION THIS. THIS'S OUR PROPERTY HERE. THIS ENTIRE PROPERTY HIS OWN SO THAT THE
[01:20:01]
WHOLE THING COULD BE MULTI FAMILY. THIS WAS A SMALL COMMERCIAL AREA RIGHT HERE. I MISSPOKE. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THIS CIRCLE COULD BE MULTI FAMILY UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING. THIS CIRCLE HAS A COMMERCIAL ZONING COMPONENT TO IT. BUT HAS YOU CAN SEE FROM.THE OVERALL MAP. THIS IS JAMES PITS DRIVE. WHICH IS AN INTERIOR STREET. UP HERE TO THE TOP. HIS BLOOM, DALE. RIGHT OVER HERE IS THE URBAN LIVING. MIXED USE PROPERTY AND SO IN WORKING WITH THE STAFF AND MY CLIENT. WE DETERMINED THAT IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THIS HARRY AND HEAR WHATEVER DEVELOPED FOR A COMMERCIAL USE THAT WOULD BE A RESILIENT USE.
AND SO IN DOING THAT, WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO AGAIN. THIS IS CREEK COLUMN OVER HERE. THIS IS SINGLE FAMILY COMMUNITY DRIVE IS A COLLECTOR STRAIGHT 100 FOOT WIDE RIGHT OF WAY. SO WE'VE ELECTED TO PUT OR WE'RE REQUESTING TO PUT TOWNHOMES HERE. WHICH IS A TRANSITION FROM THIS HIGHER DENSITY. RESIDENTIAL USE AND COMMERCIAL USE TOWN HERE AND MAKE THIS TRACKED UP HERE. MULTI FAMILY. THAT WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE ONE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ENTITLED TO THE SOUTH. INFUSION WAS A LOT OF LINES. I'M SORRY. TRY SUMMARISE OFF, PLEASE. GOOD SITE, WHERE A DECREASE IN THE TOTAL POSSIBLE MULTI FAMILY AND BE CHANGING THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES TO TOWN. WELL SAID YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT.

20005 TO 02. CONDUCT A PUBLIC AREA TO CONSIDER ACT ON REQUEST, AGREES ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT RNC RECORD REGIONAL EMPLOYMENT CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT TO BE PLANTED DISTRICT REGIONAL EMPLOYMENTS OVER THERE, DISTRICT GENERAL STANDARDS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE. CUSTOM ROAD IN SOUTH STACY ROAD COMPANY, GORDON.THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. JENNIFER ARNOLD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. THIS REQUEST TO REZONE IS ACTUALLY FOR AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT. A CZ YOU NOTED HERE. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE RETREATED CRAIG RANCH. IT IS COMPRISED OF WHAT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE SINGLE FAMILY BUT TECHNICALLY BY OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, IT IS A MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. AND WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IS THE DEVELOPMENT HAS BUILT OUT THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN THEIR OVERARCHING PLANE DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT THAT REQUIRES CANOPY TREES IN THE FRONT YARD OF EVERY RESIDENTIAL UNIT. GIVEN THE URBAN FOOTPRINT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE LOCATION OF THOSE CANOPY TREES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO CAUSE SOME FOUNDATION DAMAGE ON SOME OF THESE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. AND SO THE AFRICAN IS REQUESTING TO REASON TO REMOVE THAT REQUIREMENT FOR THE CANOPY TREE. NOT NECESSARILY FOR GETTING OVER ISSUES FOR TODAY, BUT LEND TO THE FUTURE BECAUSE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS THERE MAY BE SOME FUTURE ISSUES AND THEY DON'T WANT THE ZONING TO CAUSE A PROBLEM FOR THEM. SO THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE TO MODIFY THAT REQUIREMENT FOR THE CANOPY TREE IN THE FRONT YARD OF EVERY UNIT. A Z A SORT OF COMPROMISE FOR THAT CHANGE OR A SUPPLEMENT. TO THAT CHANGE. THE UPTON IS PROPOSING TO PROVIDE. I BELIEVE IT IS 10 CANOPY TREES JUST THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THAT CANOPY THAT THE TREES ARE PROVIDING IT'S STILL THERE WITHOUT NECESSARILY HAVING THAT STRINGENT REQUIREMENT THAT THEY ALL BE PROVIDED IN EVERY FRONT YARD. AND I DID A LOT OF TALKING AND NOT A LOT OF CLICKING THROUGH THE SLIDE. I APOLOGIZE. SO THIS IS THAT EXISTING DEVELOPMENT. THE REQUEST TO RESIGN WOULD HELP TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THESE ISSUES WHERE THE UNITS ARE CLOSE TO THE STREET. AND WE DID PRESENT THIS ITEM TO THE PLATING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THEY'VE OFFERED A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION IS THE STAFF WERE ALSO OFFERING A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION MAP IT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE RETREATING CRAIG RICH WITH US

I'M A RESIDENT IN THE RETREATED CRAIG RANCH, AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING OUR WAY, AS JENNIFER TOLD YOU ARE OUR ONLY CHANGE TO THIS 10 YEAR OLD ORDINANCE IS TO REQUEST. THE CHANGE FROM A REQUIRED CANOPY TREE IN THE FRONT YARD TO A CANOPY OR AN ORNAMENTAL. UM, THIS BEING 10 YEARS MANY OF THESE FIRST BILL. SINGLE VILLAS. UM ARE EXPERIENCING FOUNDATION DAMAGE. BECAUSE IN YOUR BACKUP, YOU SHOULD'VE HAD PICTURES OF SOME OF THE FRONT YARDS AND YOU SEE THAT THE FRONT YARDS. MANY ARE LIKE THREE FEET DEEP. CANOPY TREES REALLY REQUIRE 15 TO 20 FEET TO NOT CAUSE THAT DAMAGE WE'VE ALREADY SPENT BECAUSE THIS IS A CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION. R H O A OWNS OUR FOUNDATIONS AND OUR EXTERIORS. WE'VE ALREADY SPENT $87,000 IN FOUNDATION REPAIRS. SO THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED SO WE CAN GO IN AND. REMOVE THE DAMAGING TREES TO MITIGATE FURTHER DAMAGE. AND YOU KNOW WE LOVE TREES, BUT THERE ARE PLACES WE CAN PUT THEM SAFELY SO THEY CAN GROW AND NOT CAUSE DAMAGE. AND WE CAN PUT ORNAMENTALS INTO CONTINUE TO BEAUTIFY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. THERE. ANYONE HERE THAT LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS SIDE? SEE OCEAN CLOSE TO HEARING IT. EMOTIONALLY CLOSER HERE.

THIS IS SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS REQUEST. THIS IS ACTUALLY A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IN THE CITY FOR RESIDENTIAL USE IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TONIGHT TO MAKE A SLIGHT MODIFICATION TO THEIR EXISTING OVERALL ZONING. THAT WOULD REMOVE THE EXISTING BUILD TO MINE FOR THEIR RESIDENTIAL USES OF 10 FEET ON MODIFY IT TO A SETBACK. I BELIEVE IT'S 18 FEET, THE EXISTING ZONING THAT IS ON THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROPOSED CHANGES SHORT OF MODIFYING THAT SLIGHT SETBACK. WHAT THEY FOUND ON THE GROUND IS DUE TO SOME OF THE TOPOGRAPHY AND GRADING THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING MEETING THAT BUILD TWO LINE. IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE, AND SO THEY ARE SEEKING SOME RELIEF TO THAT TO MODIFY IT TO THAT. A SETBACK STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ITEM. THERE ARE NO SUBS. OTHER SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES REQUESTED IS PART OF THE ZONING. WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT MODIFICATION TO THE SETBACK, PLANNING AND DOTING, ALSO HEARD THE ITEM AND IS OFFERING A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

PROPERTY THAT IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT NOW, SO WE REALLY DON'T HAVE RESIDENTS OUT THERE IN THE AREA WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING THE FROM A BILL TO LAND TO A BUILDING SETBACK LINE. THE GOAL HERE IS TO MAKE THE FRONT YARDS DEEPER SO THAT WE CAN TRANSITION. UH, THE WITH RETAINING WALLS AND WHAT? NOT SOME OF THE GRADE THAT'S OUT THERE. THERE IS ONE OTHER THING IN THE ORDINANCE. AND THAT IS THAT THERE IS ALSO A TOWNHOME COMPONENT IN THIS 47 ACRES AND IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, THE THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE NOW THE PT ORDINANCE. THERE WAS AN AMBIGUITY WITH REGARD TO CANOPY TREES. THERE IS A PROVISION FOR CANOPY TREES ALONG THE STREET SIDE OF THE COUNT HOMES.THERE'S AN IMPLICATION THAT THERE IS NO REQUIRED CANOPY TREE IN THE ALLEYWAYS, WHICH ARE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF SITUATION THAT YOU HEARD IN THE PRECEDING PRESENTATION. BUT
[01:30:03]
WE WANTED TO JUST CLARIFY THAT CANOPY TREES WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED IN THE REAR YARD OF THESE TOWNHOMES. I'LL STOP THERE. THANK YOU, MR ELIOT FOR HELPING ME FOCUS ON SIMPLE.

RIGHT. LAST ITEM 200656 CONSIDERED ACT ON GORDON'S CALLING A SPECIAL[01:40:02]
ELECTION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2020 TO CONSIDER THE SALE OF CITY ON OUR PLANET. WE CONFIRM. PREVIOUSLY POSTER ON SPECIAL ELECTION FOR RECALL REMOVAL CITY COUNCIL MEMBER PURSUANT TO THE RULES. MR HAUSER OR RESTRAINT I HAVE HERE.CAUGHT ON MY EARRING. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M GOINGTO DISCUSS BRIEFLY THE FIRST PART, WHICH IS THE RECALL ELECTION. IT'S A POSTPONEMENT OF THE MAY ELECTION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED. FOR THE RECALL OF THE DISTRICT COUNCILMAN DISTRICT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER DUE TO THE COVE AT 19 PANDEMIC THAT WAS ALLOWED TO BE POSTPONED BY THE STATE AND COUNTY DIRECTION.
MISS DRINK. WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF OUR PORTION OF THIS ELECTION? NOW THAT IT'S A PART OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION? THE CITY'S COSTS WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $70,000. THE COMPONENT IS PAYABLE TO THE COUNTY FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ELECTION IS APPROXIMATELY 64,000. 17,007 0 $1000. YES. THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL TO ADD ONTO WHAT MISS TRAIN SAID THERE'S ALSO SOME CHANGES IN THE EARLY VOTING DATES THAT CAME OUT RECENTLY FROM GOVERNOR ABBOTT. SO THOSE WERE ALSO IN THIS NEW ORDINANCE. ON THEN I THINK THE POLLING PLACES WITH SAME. BUT WE DID HAVE TTO BASICALLY UPDATE SOME OF THE SCHEDULING FOR THE FOR THIS. NOVEMBER ELECTION BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CHANGING. THE PARK COMPONENT WAS MENTIONED IN SOME OF THE COMMENTS EARLIER. THE, UH. THE STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT VOTERS APPROVED THE SALE OF ANY PARK PROPERTY THAT IS OWNED BY THE CITY. AND THE PROPERTY IF. IT WERE TO BE SOLD IF THE VOTERS WERE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. THE PROCEEDS OF THAT SALE WOULD HAVE TO BE PLACED INTO THE PARK SYSTEM, EITHER AN ACQUISITION OR IMPROVEMENT. I KNOW THAT FOR PEOPLE HAVE A QUESTION THERE IS SAY, POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE INFORMATION THAT THIS IS A SITE. AVIATORS, PROBABLY 55 ACRES ALONGSIDE THE LANDFILL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE OLD LANDFILL DOWN SOUTH MCDONALD. WOULD TAKE CARE OF MACKILLOP EASTWARD AND THEN TURN SOUTH ON COUCH DRIVE, AND THEN YOU BASICALLY RUN RIGHT INTO THE PARSON. AND IF WE WERE TO SELL THAT EXACTLY. I DON'T THINK I'M THINKING THAT IF VOTERS PROVE THAT WE WERE TO SELL THAT. ONE OF THE CONCERNS MIGHT BE THAT THAT BACK PARK SYSTEM OF MAYBE FOR A PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE, I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE CONSENSUS HERE THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT MONEY. WENT STAYED IN THAT DISTRICT FOR APARTMENT DISTRICT AND I HATE TO THROW THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT ME. I KNOW. I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE, BUT I KNOW THAT I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THAT. HOW WOULD WE GO ABOUT THAT PROCESS? THAT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO. AFTER THE FACT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S UP ALSO IF THE PARK PROPOSITION IS APPROVED, THERE'S NO OBLIGATION TO SELL THE PARTS. RIGHT, BUT THERE'S NO OBLIGATION TO SELL ALL WITHIN SEVERAL PORTION OF ONE OR NONE OF IT. BUT JUST SO. ON RECORD IF VOTERS TO APPROVE IT. IF WE DO SELL IT. I WANT TO BE UNDER THAT THAT MONEY WOULD BE USED FOR PARK IN THIS DISTRICT. I SAY THIS IN THAT DISTRICT DISTRICT ONE. YOUR CONSENT OR SOMETHING. NOT THAT THIS IS A FORMAL ACTION OR ANYTHING JUST WANTING FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT NO, THEY KNOW AT LEAST WHERE WE WHAT OUR TENT IS. ON THE RECALL. SO AGAIN, PEOPLE WOULD TUNE INTO THIS AND. AND THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD WANT THEM TO READ INTO IT IN ANY WAY. THAT THIS IS NOT A VOTE BY COUNSEL. LET'S VOTE. THIS IS A REQUIRED MANDATE. ORDER ORDER MANDATE THAT BECAUSE OF SO MUCH CALL IT SIMPLY CALL ELECTIONS IN GENERAL. NOT COURT ORDERED, BUT. IF WE DID NOT CALL IT, IT COULDD BE COURT ORDERED. THIS IS ON THE BALLOT BECAUSE THERE WAS A PETITION THAT WAS VALIDATED THROUGH OUR CHARTER PROCESS, WHICH REQUIRES THE ELECTION TO BE CALLED SO. I JUST DON'T WANT ANYONE OUT THERE, TOO. PEOPLE THAT YES, AND THIS ARE GREEN.
NOT BEING ORDINARY. RECALL ITSELF. IT'S A CHARGE THAT WE HAVE. BROUGHT TO YOU BROUGHT
[01:45:05]
ITS FUNCTION BROUGHT BY CITIZENS. YES. THANK YOU. MAKE SURE NO ONE MISUNDERSTAND SOMEBODY'S HOW WERE THESE? I'M SEPARATED. SEVERAL TIMES. REASON'S ON ELECTION ORDERS. WE CALL IT TOGETHER SO THAT THE BALLOT HAS SHOWN IF THERE WAS AN INTEREST TO REMOVE. THE PARK. UH, EMOTION COULD COULD FIX THAT. THAT'S THAT'S WHERE YOU WHERE YOU WERE GOING ON THE ON THE OTHER ONE I ALREADY SAID WAS MANDATED BECAUSE CHARLIE. YOUR HANDS ARE SO. INIS ACTUAL SALE OF THE LAND WOULD HAVE COME BEFORE US. YES, SIR. ALONG WITH. USAGE AND WHERE ON THE PROPERTY SUCH USAGE, KURT ABSOLUTELY COULD BE PART OF YOUR SALE. YES. THIS. THIS ORDER ALLOWS THE CITY TO SELL CITY OLD PARK DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE THIS. MR DOES THIS PARTIAL SEES HIS PARCEL SUMMER ALL? YES, SIR. SINCE WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS PARCEL OF LAND ON THAT FAVOR. SELLING THIS PART. REASONS THAT YOU MENTIONED PUBLIC COMMENTS.LIFE. SANCTUARY. WATER QUALITY LIKE NOISE POLLUTION. NO TRAVEL BETWEEN CANADA AND MEXICO BIRD'S LIFE. YOU KNOW THIS? PIECE OF WILDLIFE PARK. JUST THAT SENTENCE. THAT PROPERTY.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT POINT. THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN. I THINK A NUMBER OF US BUT WAY HAVE THE ABILITY. OF COURSE. RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO ONE USES. NO WONDER SON. THERE'S NO USE FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS, ACTUALLY. RIGHT NOW, THIS IS PURELY TO BE ABLE TO SELL A PIECE OF THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'S NEXT TO THE OLD LANDFILL. THERE WOULD BE IF WE STIFF RECENTLY. WE WOULD TAKE THAT MONEY AND BUY PARK THAT WOULD BE WORKING WITHIN THE GREATER PARK SYSTEM. THIS PIECE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, NOT WORKING OVERALL PART SYSTEM, BUT WE WOULD ALSO HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT POINT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PRESERVE ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WERE THAT WERE IDENTIFIED BY. CITIZENS FIRST. JUST GET DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SECOND STEP WOULD BE. DEWEY, THIRD WOULD BE WHAT THEY USED TO HAVE TO APPROVE. AND DURING THAT WE'D ALL BE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT YOU SAID. FOR ME. THIS IS JUST A STEP.
IT'S NOT A. NO ENGAGEMENT. THE PERSON THAT MAYBE WE JUST HEARD FROM OUR FINANCIAL STAFF THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER $1,000,000,000 ON THE ROLLS. WE'RE NOT HURTING FINANCIALLY IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER PIECE OF PARKLAND IN FUTURE, WE HAVE. WANTED TO DO THAT WITHOUT SELLING THIS PROPERTY TO DO THAT. YOU WANTED TO. HOWEVER, WE ALSO HEARD FROM OUR PARKS DIRECTOR THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO SELL THIS LAND. DESIRE TO KEEP THIS LAND SO PARKS DIRECTOR.
YOU KNOW? WHY ADMIRE? MR KOWSKI SAID THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS IN OUR OVERALL PARKS. GOLD WAS A DESIRE PEACE IN THE OVERALL PARKS. MASTER PLAN YOU HAVE PARKS PROGRAMS. SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID. I DON'T WANT TO ELABORATE ON THAT. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO RIGHT NOW IS EXECUTIVE SESSION DISCUSSION BURNED, TOO, IS OUR PARKS DIRECTOR SAY? DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO SELL THIS. VIRTUES ARE PARKS DIRECTOR SAYING WE DON'T NEED TO NECESSARY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT IN OPEN SESSION BECAUSE IT'S ALL YOU NOW. I THINK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE SAID. I HEARD IT DIFFERENTLY, BUT. THE IDEA IS. OUT OF FAVOR. YOU WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR FOR PEOPLE LISTENING? THE IDEA THAT FOR ME, IT'S NOT ABOUT DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO JUST FIND THE LAND WERE A STEWARD OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. AND IF WE HAVE A PLAN RIGHT NOW THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED TO NOT BE. IT'S A LONG PIECE ALONGSIDE A LANDFILL. IT IS NOT A PIECE THAT IS. TREASURE TO BE PART OF THE OVERALL PART SYSTEM. SO ALTHOUGH IT CERTAINLY JUST LET
[01:50:01]
IT SIT THERE FOREVER, OR WE COULD, POTENTIALLY IF VOTERS DECIDE TO SELL IT AND BUY A LAND THAT ACTUALLY WILL BE TURNED INTO A PARK AND USED BY FAMILIES AND ENJOYED BY TAXPAYERS. IN THE SAME AREA, SO I THINK THAT'S THE IDEA. IT'S NOT JUST LAND FIELD. YOU SAY IT'S A LONG PIECE BY LAND, BUT IT'S ALSO OBVIOUS BY THE HURT MUSEUM. WE KNOW ABSOLUTELY THAT THAT IT'S A GREAT POINT. WHAT SCIENCE SAYS THAT IS HIS EXTREMELY RELEVANT ON DH CONFIDENT THAT WILL BE PART OF ANY DECISION MOVING FORWARD IS TO WHAT WE DO WITH THAT PROBLEM IF IT'S ALL RIGHT. AGREED THAT BACK PIECE. PICTURES. FURNITURE IS LONG. REMEMBER, MR MAYOR, I ACTUALLY WALKED THE PLACE WENT UP THEIR WALK ALONG AND. IT'S 11 BE TURNED INTO A. SOCCER FIELDS OR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S BY THE LANDFILL LANDFILL HAS HAS A 30 YEAR MORATORIUM. NOTHING COULD BE BUILT ON THAT LAND FIELD. AND IF YOU GO PAST THE LANDFILL, WHAT YOU SEE IS YOU SEE, GET A GAS POINT. BECAUSE GAS IS ADMITTING FROM THE LANDFILL.IT'S BURNT IS BEING BURNED OFF THE NEXT 30 YEARS. WELL, WE'RE ACTUALLY WE'RE 10 YEARS OF 30 YEARS. SO THIS IS NOT SOME PLACE THAT I SEND. MY KIDS WILL PLAY OR, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, I MEAN, IT'S JUST LAND. I THINK WE COULD MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE CELL. AND TRANSFER THAT INTO A. BEAUTIFUL PART OR INCREASING OUR PART USAGE ON ESPECIALLY FOR KEEPING DISTRICT THAT IT'S IN. I HAVE NO PROBLEM. I THINK IT'LL BE. AGAIN, MUCH BETTER USED FUNDS. THEY'RE JUST SITTING THERE. ABOUT THE LINUS.
THE TIGERS BEARS. PROTECT THAT PATH, MR MAYOR AND COUNCIL ON THE WEBSITE OF THE Q AND A.
THERE IS SOME REFERENCE TO THE PARK TRAIL SYSTEM. THAT IS A LONG WILSON CREEK THAT WILL BE PRESERVED BY ANY DEVELOPMENT. ALSO THE COUNCIL WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION IF IT DID HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SELL. WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION TO CONDITION THE CELL TO SELL SOME OF IT. RESERVING SOME OF IT IF YOU WANTED TO DO SO YOU DON'T YOU COULD KEEP IT IN THE PARK SYSTEM. SOME OF IT ALL OF IT. NONE OF IT. IT'S JUST THE QUESTION FOR THE VOTERS AS TO WHETHER THEY WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO SELL. ANY OF IT. HONESTLY THE WAY YOU'VE CRAFTED THIS ONE ITEM WITH BEING ON THE RECALLS GOT VOTED DOWN. THAT WAS NOT ON PURPOSE, SIR. UH SO THANKS. EXECUTIVE SESSION OF SCIENCE AND MEDICINE PARTS DIRECTOR NOR BIAS, MISTER.
EVERYONE. BECAUSE I WAS JUST SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO BUT RESPECT, MR SHAHID. AS MUCH AS ANYBODY STEWARDSHIP OF HEARD. SO IF WE'RE GONNA SELL THIS MAN TO BE, IT'S GOING TO MEAN A DELICIOUSLY HEIST. TO MAINTAIN AND PROTECT HER TO MAINTAIN AND PROTECT THOSE. LANDS THAT NEED TO BE PROTECTED AND MAKE OFF AREN'T SURE THAT WE TAKE THOSE PONDS AND BUY MORE PARK LAND OR SOMETHING. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. NO SORRY. SOMEONE HEY, HE'S GOT A VESTED INTEREST BECAUSE. HEARD BUT I WOULD SURE WANT SOME BACKUP FOR YOU. WHERE WE DO A STUDY ON EXACTLY TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO'S EXPERT.

I CAN'T SEE TODAY. NOT DOORS DAY. EVEN THEY HAVE THAT INSPIRING ENCOURAGE MOVEMENT PEOPLE TO SHOW UP. REALLY EXCITED ABOUT CHANGE THIS COMMUNITY. SHOWING PEOPLE BY EXAMPLE, HOW TO TURN LOTS AROUND RIGHT? FOR KIDS LIKE ME.
SOMEBODY WHO HAD BEEN IN TROUBLE. PERFECT. MAIN STEAKS. HAVE A GREAT EDUCATION DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT UPBRINGING. HAD CHILDREN ARE LOCKED. ANY TROUBLE IN MY YOU BEEN ON PROBATION, YOU NAME IT. BEAT IT. LIVING IN THE PROJECTS. BEEN LOCKED UP IN COLLINS, KAREN. BEEN LOCKED UP AND DOWN, KAREN. BEEN PULLED OVER BEING RACIALLY PROFILED. PLAYED BASKETBALL GOT KICKED OUT BIDDING TROUBLE BEEN IN TIME OUT. YOU NAME IT. I DID IT. I DIDN'T LET THOSE THINGS HOLD ME BACK. I SAID, LET ME BE AN EXAMPLE. THE DOOR. LET ME SHOW PEOPLE THAT MATTER ALL THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT YOU CAN OVERCOME. WHAT WAS YOUR NAME? I GOT IN TROUBLE WITH. LET ME SHOW YOU. NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE. I WORKED AT SANDS CLUB WITH YOU. WINTER ABLE BY FIVE IN THE MORNING RIGHT HERE INDUSTRIAL BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET A JOB. WE HAVE TO GO DO DAY LABOR. HOPING THAT SOMEBODY PICKED YOU FOR A JOB.

YOU COULD TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND. YOU CAN BE SO. ACTUALLY. PRETTY SOON. THESE PEOPLE SAY. BEEN TROUBLED. PICK YOURSELF UP AND MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF. WHEN I TRIED TO DO
[02:00:06]
THAT. PEOPLE STILL TALK ABOUT ME LIKE A DOG. THEY STILL DRUGGED HER NAME THROUGH THE MUD. I SAID IT DOESN'T MATTER GIVE EVERY DAY. AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT A DUEL IS. I GOT TO SHOW. NOT DOORS EVERY DAY. POLICE PULL ME OVER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THIS CITY. HARD SAID.YOU KNOW WHAT? WITH YOUR BACKGROUND, YOU WOULD NEVER BE A CITY COUNCILMAN. SAY, YOU KNOW, SHOW YOU I WANT KIND OF LATE. HOW DID WE GET HERE? I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH.
TO INSPIRE AND ENCOURAGE. SHOW IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. AND GUESS WHAT? THESE CHAMBERS WERE EMPTY. OUR COMMUNITY STEEL DID NOT SHOW UP. SO THIS IS HOW WE GOT HERE.
LET ME EXPLAIN HOW WE GOT HERE AND WHY THERE'S A RECALL. WITH MY NAME. FOR THREE YEARS. WELL, I SHOWED UP IN THESE CHAMBERS BY MYSELF. I WAS LEFT WITH TWO OPTIONS. YOU SIT HERE BECAUSE HERE'S MY ROLE AS A COUNCILMAN. MY ROLE IS TO SHOW UP. AND ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS. WHEN YOU DON'T SHOW UP WITH YOUR CONCERNS. AND I HAVE NOTHING TO ADDRESS. SO BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR THREE YEARS. I WAS LEFT WITH NOTHING TO ADDRESS. WAR. I ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS BECAUSE I LIVED IN AND I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE. SO YOU LET ME WITH TWO OPTIONS. EITHER. I SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING. OR I START ADDRESSING YOUR CONCERNS BECAUSE I LIVED THEM AND I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO DO NOTHING. BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO CALL ME. THE PERSON THAT DID NOTHING FOR YOU. EVEN THOUGH SOME OF YOU DID THAT, ANYWAY. BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T HERE TO SEE WHAT I WAS DOING FOR YOU. SO WHEN I WAS HERE, RAISING THE ISSUE OF RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY BY MYSELF. WHEN I WAS HERE, ADDRESSING ISSUES OF POLICE HARASSMENT, BRUTALITY, RACIAL PROFILING BY MYSELF. WHEN I WAS HERE TALKING ABOUT PAID PATERNITY LEAVE AND COUNCIL BENEFITS AND PAID BY MYSELF. BECAUSE I KNEW THEY WERE ISSUES OF OUR COMMUNITY GETS WHAT THE COUNCIL SAID. HE SAID. YOU KNOW WHAT? CANCEL MISSION WILL THOSE ARE ISSUES OF THE COMMUNITY. WHERE'S THE COMMUNITY? THERE'S NO COMMUNITY OUT HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. NO LONGER BECAME COMMUNITY ISSUES. BECAME COUNCILMAN SHIM WELL ISSUES. WHEN THEY BECAME COUNCILMAN, SHIM WELL ISSUES. HE DEVISED A PLAN. TO GET RID OF COUNCILMAN SHIM WELL. SEE, THEY KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF COUNCILMAN SHIN WOO. IT WAS EASY TO GET RID OF ONE COUNCILMAN WHO KEPT BRINGING UP ISSUES WEEKEND AND WEEK OUT. THAT'S HOW WE GOT WHERE WE ARE TODAY. BUT THAT'S OKAY. BECAUSE IT WAS LEARNING.
A TEACHING MOMENT. FOR US. BECAUSE WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO? NOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING. AND NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AS A COMMUNITY. WHEN I'M NO LONGER IN THIS SEAT. YOU COULD STILL SHOW UP. EVERY TUESDAY. REPRESENT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.
YEAH, I'M GONNA MAKE MY BRIEFER THAN IT WAS GONNA BE. I DO LIKE
[02:05:03]
SEEING THE FOLKS HERE ESPECIALLY THE FOLKS FROM A KID. I THINK YOU GUYS COMING HERE SEEING WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES AND HOW IT WORKS, SAID SOMETHING IN YOUR MIND WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING? BUT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, IT'S BEEN HARD FOR US TO DO A LOT OF WORK. AND IT'S A LOT OF THE DISTRACTIONS THAT COME. WITH WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. AND I CAN'T FIX THAT. THERE'S NO ONE UP HERE THAT CAN THE MAYOR THE CITIZENS. THAT YOU CAN'T BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT IT'S THAT ITEM. IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE. I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE THE STATUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A GOVERNMENT FOR THAT. THE COMMITTEE WAS JUST DESIGNED FOR THAT REASON, AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THESE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OR NATIONAL GUMS OR STATE GOVERNMENT TO PUT THOSE IN FRONT OF YOU TO LET YOU HAVE THE VOICE. YOU HIT ON THE HEAD OF A BEER. NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THINGS WILL JUST HAPPEN. AND SO THAT'S BETTER FOR 190 YEARS. 109 YEARS, BUT IT'S AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW. I GET THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT. I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU, BUT IT'S BEEN HERE FOR 109 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A COMMITTEE HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER, SO I THINK THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE THAT THIS COUNCIL CAME UP WITH THAT. AND WE THINK LEADERS FROM THE COMMUNITY. THAT ACTUALLY PUT THAT COMMITTEE TOGETHER AND COME BACK WITH WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH IT. IT'S PRETTY MUCH GONNA BE YOUR CHOICE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM YOUR COMMUNITIES. SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT SUPPORT DEMOCRACY, THAT'S HOW LIFE WORKS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE. SO.I KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH IT. I GET THAT I DO APPRECIATE YOU LIKE I SAID. BUT WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. WE CAN'T BE OUT THERE SCREAMING EACH OTHER BANGING ON THE GLASS TELLING EVERYBODY YOU'RE SUCK. WE HATE YOU. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. ON BOTH SIDES, NOT ON YOUR SIDE AND NOT ON THE OTHER SIDE. BOTH SIDES SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS IS A PLACE TO DO BUSINESS. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE BUSINESS DONE. FOR THESE COMMUNITIES WERE TRYING TO BUILD A BETTER MCKINNEY. AND IT'S TOP RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN AMERICA. IT'S TOUGH BECAUSE WE'RE ALL TRYING TO DIVIDE EACH OTHER. I DIDN'T COME FROM SOME GREAT BACKGROUND EITHER. SO I DON'T LOOK DON'T LOOK LIKE OPIE. I KID. BUT I DIDN'T COME FROM SOME PLACE WHERE IT WAS GIVEN TO ME. I HAD TO GO EARN IT. I HEARD IT ON THE STREETS AS WELL. SO WHEN I SIT IN THIS ROOM TO GET TO THIS SPOT, AND I LOOK AT YOU GUYS AND I LOOK AT EVERYBODY OUT THERE AND THIS WHOLE WEEKEND I SPENT TALKING TO PEOPLE OFF MCKINNEY. ASKING THEM. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THIS? NOT ONLY THAT STATUE BECAUSE THAT STATUE IS JUST A ROCK. ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE THAT'S PROBABLY THAT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE ENGINE WAS TO SIGHT LIKE THAT, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR 100 AND NINE YEARS. DON'T TAKE QUESTIONS HERE. I THINK SO. LET US DO OUR JOB AT LEAST AND TRY TO GET IT DONE. THIS. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. A PLACE TO COMPETE WITH THAT YOU'RE DISRUPTING A MEETING TOGETHER. ASKED YOU NICELY TO PLEASE STOP. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. NOTHING GETS DONE WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOMETHING DONE BECAUSE OF EXTREMIST. YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE SOMETHING? GO AWAY. IT'S NOT YOUR MANY PEOPLE PUT THEIR HEELS IN. SO INTO THE PARK, MAN. MR. I AM SO SORRY. I WANT TO SAY WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT TO GET THIS TRUCK IS A WETLAND COMMUNITY OR ANY TYPE OF LAND ANIMALS THAT ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE ONLY PLACE WE HAVE OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY. SO YOU HAVE MY WORD, AND I KNOW THAT WORD GOES FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE CYNICAL THIS COUNCIL THEN WE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT BEFORE THAT GETS TO A POINT WHERE IT'S NOT RIGHT. SO. EVERYTHING ELSE. I HOPE EVERYBODY CAN GET ALONG. WE DON'T CONTINUE THIS CONSTANTLY BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A SHOW. IT'S OVER AND OVER SO MR PHILLIPS. WE'RE LOOKING AT.
