THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. GENOVA RONALD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. WE DID DISCUSS THIS ITEM A BIT DURING THE WORK SESSION, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WALKED THROUGH. UH, THE SPECIFICS OF THE REQUEST, THE PNC DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A SWELL SO AGAIN. THIS IS FOR THE EXISTING SALVATION ARMY TRACKED THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW. ALLOWS FOR THAT SALVATION ARMY USE A CZ PROPOSED THE REQUESTED REZONING WOULD NOT LOOK TO EXPAND ANY OF THE BUILDING OR SQUARE FOOTAGE IS ON THE PROPERTY. IT WOULD STRICTLY SORT OF INSTITUTIONALIZED IF YOU WILL, THE ABILITY FOR SALVATION ARMY TO OFFER. OR OPERATE THAT EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT WARMING STATION. GONNA FLY THROUGH THESE FIRST FEW SLIDES AND KIND OF LAND ON THE NEXT TO SO AS PART OF THE PROPOSED REZONING REQUEST. THE SALVATION ARMY IS ASKING TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THAT EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT WARMING STATION UNDER A SPECIFIC SET OF REQUIREMENTS, BOTH WEATHER REQUIREMENTS AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENT THOSE AIR LAID OUT IN THAT PEDIS OWNING. SOME OF THE BIG TICKET ITEMS ON THAT REQUEST HER HERE ON THE BOARD AGAIN, IT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE OF OVERNIGHT LODGING IN THE IN THE SALVATION ARMY BUILDING OF THE HOURS OF OPERATION TO CONSIDER THAT EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT SHELTER WOULD BE. ONLY ON DAYS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS PROJECTED TO BE 40 DEGREES OR LESS, AND THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS WOULD BE LIMITED TO 6 P.M. TO A M. AS PROPOSED THE CAP ON THE NUMBER OF GUESTS THAT WILL BE PERMITTED IN THAT OVERNIGHT WARMING STATION IS CAPTAIN 50. PROPOSED REZONING DOES INCLUDE SOME ALLOWANCES TO INCREASE THAT THE GUEST COUNT, BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE A DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL BY THE COUNCIL THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, SO THAT WOULD NOT BE BY RIGHT. MAY BE REQUIRED TO COME FORWARD TO ASK FOR THAT. AS WELL PRIOR TO THE FIRST OPERATING DAY OF THE YEAR, THE SALVATION ARMY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN OPERATIONAL PLAN AS WELL AS GET A FIRE INSPECTION FOR THE BUILDING. PRIOR TO OPERATING. ONE THING THAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, AS WE CONSIDER THIS REQUEST TO THE COUNCIL CONSIDERS THE REQUEST IS WHAT'S CURRENTLY PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY, BOTH THROUGH THE EXISTING ZONING AND USES ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS THAT TEMPORARY USE PERMIT THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER TODAY IN THE WORK SESSION. SO SALVATION ARMY IS CLASSIFIED AS A CHURCH USE HER THE CITY'S EXISTING ZONING ORDINANCE. A CHURCH USE

[00:25:06]

DON'T HAVE QUESTIONS FOR FROM THE PNC MATING. THERE WAS ONE CONCERN THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

THAT AT 8 AM THE KIDS WERE GOING TO SCHOOL AND YOU'RE LETTING OUT THESE PEOPLE. FROM THIS FACILITY. SO IS THAT AN ISSUE THAT TO BE ADDRESSED OR IS THAT. SURE, AND I'LL LET MAJOR MAJOR FEES OR TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE WAY THAT THEY ACTUALLY OPERATE.

HOWEVER, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DID DISCUSS A STAFF AND WITH MAJOR FEEZER. THE OPERATING HOURS ARE ACTUALLY STRUCTURED IS SUCH THAT. IF THEY'RE RELEASING AT 8 A.M. IN THE MORNING THIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL ARE ALREADY IN SESSION. THE DROP OFFS FOR THOSE SCHOOLS ARE TYPICALLY IN THE SEVEN O'CLOCK HOUR. AND SO WE DID FEEL AS THOUGH THAT TIME LIMIT THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A GAP ON DH. THE PROXIMITY OF THOSE SCHOOLS TO THE SALVATION ARMY FACILITY OR ABOUT 1000 FT. I THINK I'LL GO CONFIRM THAT ONCE YOU COME UP AND ASK QUESTIONS FOR MAJOR CAESAR, BUT. PROXIMITY THERE WAS A BIT DISTANT. THE QUESTION. THANK YOU, JENNIFER. YOUR CAESAR. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR MAJOR FEEZER. WE HAD A VERY GOOD IDEA. OKAY IF YOU COME UP, SIR. SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU'VE HAD THIS BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, HAS ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE FOR ONE YEAR. YEAH SO THE COUPLE OF CHANGES IS THAT IS THAT IS A 10% INCREASE FROM 40 TO 50. AND THEN WE WANTED A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY WHEN IT CAME TO THE WEATHER, BECAUSE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE HAD THAT 40 DEGREES, BUT IT WAS RAINING.

AND IF THAT HAD BEEN IN JANUARY WITH. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BEEN OPEN JUST BECAUSE HOW NASTY THE WEATHER WAS. AND THOSE ARE REALLY THE ONLY TWO THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE GOING TO BE CHANGING SO AND IN THE 40 DEGREES IS NOT A HARD AND FAST FOR SO IF IT'S A CLEAR 40. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE PROBABLY WILL NEED TO BE OPEN SO BUT IF IT'S A 32 35, IT'S RAINING. THEN WE WOULD LOOK WON THE LAST IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS THAT YOU'VE HAD BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A WARMING STATION THERE. HAVE YOU HAD ANY COMPLAINTS? ISSUES? CONCERNS, SO NO, NO, I WOULDN'T. WE WOULD KNOW IT ANYTHING AT ALL? YEAH SO NO POLICE CALLS ON IT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK JUST WITH SOME CONCERNS, BUT WE'VE ALREADY OPENED FOR 12 MONTHS AND TALKING WITH SOME OF THE SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

RESIDENTS SOME OF THEM DON'T EVEN REALISE WE WERE OPEN LAST YEAR, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WAY SO WE WANTED TO BE QUIET AND JUST NOT NOT BE THERE SO AND WE JUST WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE THIS. WE'RE LIKE TO PARTNER WITH THE HOMELESS, THE HOMELESS COALITION TO BE ABLE TO. TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE AND IF IT EVER GETS TO A POINT WHERE. LISA BEING

[00:30:01]

DURING THE COVE IT CRISIS. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PROVIDING FOOD TO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED. YES SIR.

YES. AND YOU'RE DOING THAT, ON A WEEKLY BASIS IS THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK ACTUALLY WAS A DAILY BASIS, YOU KNOW? YEAH. SO WE DO FRESH FOOD. MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS AND THEN WE WERE AND THEN OUR REGULAR FOOD PANTRY WAS OPEN EVERY EVERY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK, BUT FIRST I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY FOR DOING THAT, BUT SECONDLY. AS THAT CAUSED ANY CONCERN WITH NEIGHBORS HAVING THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMING THROUGH YOUR FACILITY? NO IN FACT, THAT WAS THE HAVING THE FOOD PANTRY IS. HAS NEVER BEEN A COMPLAINT. IT WAS ONLY ABOUT HAVING THE STATION. SO. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO FROM A KID. THANK YOU. IT SAYS THAT PUBLIC HEARING IS THERE ANYONE WE DO HAVE SOME PEOPLE V. N. MILLER HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. THE MILLER AND I WAS 1615 OAK STREET IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS. I'VE WORKED WITH PAUL. WITH COLD WEATHER STATION FOR TWO YEARS.

I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. ALL I ASK, IS YOU NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THIS AND WE HAVE A LOT OF HEARTS. WE'VE GOT PEOPLE FROM CHURCHES ALL OVER TOWN. BUT I JUST ASKED YOU TO CONSIDER THAT. YES MA'AM. THANK YOU, MA'AM. YES, MAN, LANCE KOLINSKY. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH. MY NAME IS LANCE ALINSKY, AND I'M GONNA MAKE ANY RESIDENT FOR 14 YEARS. AND I'M THE FOUNDER OF STREETSIDE SHOWERS AND WE PROVIDE A MOBILE SHOWER SERVICE FOR FOLKS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN NORTH TEXAS AND I WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REZONING. OF THE EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT WARMING STATION LOCATED AT THE SALVATION ARMY. I HAVE BEEN SERVING IN THE HOME WITH THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY FOR OVER 3.5 YEARS. AND ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE SOME LIMITED SERVICES AND COLLIN COUNTY THE NEED FOR AN OVERNIGHT OVERNIGHT STATION IS VERY CRITICAL. WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING. WE NEED A SAFE AND WARM PLACE FOR FOLKS TO SAY TO STAY. I WORKED WITH MANY OF THESE FOLKS ON A WEEKLY AND DAILY BASIS AND THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAVE HIT HARD TIMES IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. THE SALVATION ARMY HAS AN EXCELLENT AND PROVEN TRACK RECORD FOR ASSISTING IN THESE TYPES OF NEEDS, AND THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN THE WHEN THE TEMPERATURES REACH FREEZING TEMPERATURES. I BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES AS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. FOR THOSE THAT ARE ON THE STREETS BECAUSE IT DOES BECOME A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH. THE CITY. MCKINNEY HAS ALWAYS PRIDED ITSELF IN CARING FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS AND OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE COUNCIL ARE MAYOR. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE TO THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY AND TO ME PERSONALLY, A STREETSIDE SHOWERS AND FOR THAT, I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT YOU DO TO HELP US AND SUPPORT US. I JUST WOULD HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU DO IN THIS INSTANCE VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE HOMELESS NEIGHBORS AND APPROVING THIS OVERNIGHT STATION DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL BALLAST TERRACE. GOOD EVENING. I'M TOBIAS HARRIS. I LIVE AT 6508 MARVIN GARDENS HERE IN MCKINNEY AND I'M HERE TO OFFER MY SUPPORT FOR THE REZONING OF THE SALVATION ARMY AND HOPE TO OFFER SOME PEACE OF MIND FOR THOSE WHO ARE HESITANT OR OPPOSED. WELL, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND YEAR IN SALVATION ARMY. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE COLD WEATHER SEASON. I PARTICIPATE IN A LEAD ROLE, MAKING SURE OUR NEIGHBORS WITHOUT HOMES HAVE AN OPTION WHEN THE WEATHER REACHES LIFE THREATENING TEMPERATURES. WHILE THIS OPERATION IS SIGNIFICANT, I WANT PEOPLE TO BE AWARE IT IS PART OF A YEAR ROUND EFFORT. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ME. I AM MCKINNEY RESIDENT AND IT'S SEPTEMBER 2017. I FOUNDED THE NONPROFIT IN MANUAL LABOR. OUR GOAL IS TO REMOVE THE LESS NOUS FROM HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND BEYOND. OUR FOCUS IS BUILDING RELATIONS SHIPS WITH ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS, BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT HOMES FOR NEIGHBORS WITHOUT HOMES. WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP PERSON GO FROM HOMELESS, THE HOME AND FOR OUR NEIGHBORS WITH HOMES. WE WANT TO BRING CLARITY TO THE COMPLEXITY OF HOMELESSNESS, OFFERING VIABLE SOLUTIONS AND INVITE PEOPLE TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED. I BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE TO BE SYMPATHETIC TO OUR NEIGHBORS WITHOUT HOMES WHILE BEING SENSITIVE TO THE

[00:35:04]

LAUREN, WHO'S HERE TONIGHT, STAYED WITH US LAST YEAR AND IS NOW WORKING FULL TIME AND LIVING IN AN APARTMENT. JONAH, WHO ALSO STAYED WITH US LAST YEAR IS NOW LIVING WITH HER SISTER IN YOUR HAMPSHIRE, STEPHEN C. C AN ELDERLY COUPLE OF ST LOUIS LAST YEAR AND NOW LIVING IN ALBUQUERQUE, LASHONDA, EVETTE AND HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER, MICHAEL AND HIS PRESCHOOLER STAYED WITH US TWO YEARS AGO, AND ALL ASKED. I MENTIONED THEIR GRATEFULNESS FOR OUR EFFORTS. THERESA STAYED WITH US OUR FIRST YEAR AND HAS BEEN LIVING WITH HER FAMILY IN WASHINGTON STATE EVER SINCE. THERE ARE MANY MORE STORIES JUST LIKE THIS, BUT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WERE STILL IN TOUCH WITH ALMOST EVERYONE WE SERVED. THE FOLKS WE EXPECT TO SERVE AT THE WARMING STATION THIS AND EVERY YEAR OR PREDOMINANTLY PEOPLE WE ALREADY KNOW. AND IF NOT, WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO GET TO KNOW AND MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP JUST LIKE LAUREN, WHO'S HERE. SINCE THE ONSET OF THIS PANDEMIC, WHICH WAS JUST AFTER LAST SEASON ENDED. I HAVE MADE PERSONAL CONTACT WITH ROUGHLY 150 NEW PEOPLE. THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF ALMOST FIVE PEOPLE A WEEK, AND IN ADDITION TO PEOPLE WE ALREADY KNOW AND SERVE. I BELIEVE THE NUMBER IS FAST APPROACHING OVER 300 IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT AIR UNSHELTERED HOMELESS AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT WE COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE STORIES BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE SOLUTION IS ALWAYS IN THEIR STORY. AND ON A COLD NIGHT WE HAVE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO BE THERE. AND AS FAR AS THE STRUCTURE OF THE OPERATION OF IT, WE OFFER PEOPLE A RIDE THERE, AND THOSE PEOPLE ALWAYS WANT TO RIDE BACK. THEY DON'T WANT TO WALK THROUGH PEOPLE'S NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE OUT WHEN IT'S COLD, ANY MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE DOES. SO THE COLD THE COLD WEATHER IS WHEN WE WANT TO OPEN. WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO DO IT ON A CALM SUNDAY NIGHT OR, YOU KNOW, NOT A SUNDAY NIGHT BUT MOONLIT NIGHT, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FULLY AWARE OF THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS THAT WE WANT TO BE OPEN AND HAVE A GOOD DIALOGUE THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS AND HOPE THAT YOU GET EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. THANK YOU, PAUL. CHARLIE IN PRIOR. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY SPEAK. I WAS PROBABLY LIKE A LOT OF THE HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE VOICED THEIR OPPOSITION. WITH NOT WANTING THAT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD UNTIL A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, I STARTED SERVING ON MY MISSIONS TEAM THROUGH MY CHURCH AND WHEN THERE. WE TEAMED UP WITH LANCE AND STREETSIDE SHOWERS. THAT WAS MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY ON AND THEN DO THAT, REACHING OUT WITH PAUL AND SERVING WITH THE MANUAL LABOUR AND VOLUNTEERING LAST YEAR AT THE. OVERNIGHT STATION SO. THE PEOPLE THERE. THEY'RE ALL PRETTY AMAZING. LIFE GETS CRAPPY. WE'RE ALL DEALT A BAD HAND, SOMETIMES. AND SOMETIMES IT'S PERSONAL CHOICES THAT LEAD US. TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AND SOMETIMES IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS. I'M A MOTHER OF THREE AND. RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME COVE IT HIT. THEY'RE SHORTLY AFTER. I GOT A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. IT'S NOT SO GREAT. I WAS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. DOING GOOD FOR MYSELF. WITH COVIC. HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM ME. AND. I COULD BE IN THE SAME SITUATION WHERE MY FRIENDS AND I CALL THEM FRIENDS BECAUSE I SERVE ALMOST EVERY MORNING WITH CALL WITH PAUL SERVING COFFEE AND GETTING TO KNOW THEM. I COULD. THANK THE LORD. I'M NOT, BUT I COULD BE IN THEIR SITUATION AND IT WOULD BE OUT OF MY HANDS. I WOULD NEVER WANT THAT. I'M A MOTHER OF THREE. YOU KNOW WHO WHO WANTS THAT LIFE FOR THEMSELVES? I THINK THAT IF PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY STOP AND TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW OUR FRIENDS, THEY'D REALIZED THEY'RE JUST PEOPLE LIKE ME. AND YOU WHO DON'T JUST THEY'RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT. THEY THEY WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR LIFE. THEY WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR SITUATIONS. AND A BIG PART OF THAT IS KNOWING THEY HAVE SECURITY OR BEING ABLE TO DO JOB SEARCHES AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, THOSE WHO WHO COULD HELP THEM GET THEM JOBS. YOU KNOW, THEY THEY WANT TO BETTER THEIR SITUATION. THEY LAST YEAR.

WHENEVER I SERVED AT THE SHELTER OR THE OVERNIGHT STATION. THERE IS NO PROBLEMS. PEOPLE WERE SO GRATEFUL AND SO HUMBLE TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO AND STAY AND IN THE MORNINGS WHENEVER IT'S TIME TO PACK UP AND GO AGAIN. GRATEFUL, THANKFUL, NEVER CAUSED ANY PROBLEMS. NEVER HAD ANYBODY BEING UGLY, NOT EVEN AMONGST THEMSELVES. YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL TRYING TO BUILD EACH OTHER UP. THANK YOU FOR LETTING YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

[00:40:03]

NOBODY'S REALLY SAID ANYTHING. THEY LEAVE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING. THEY'RE BACK IN VANS AT 5 36 O'CLOCK GOING BACKTO WHEREVER THEY WERE BROUGHT FOR THAT EVENING. SO AND THE KIDS, THEY'D WALK BY MY HOUSE EVERY DAY, AND THEY'RE ALL IF THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL, THEN THAT'S ANOTHER CONVERSATION TO HAVE, BUT THEY SHOULD BE. FINCH ELEMENTARY IS JUST A PAWN. PARK AND ELM. AND THEN THIS. THE HIGH SCHOOL'S ABOUT 1500 FT FROM THEIR FACILITY, SO I JUST WANT YOU TO APPRECIATE THAT, ALTHOUGH THERE CAN BE CONCERNS, AND FRANKLY, THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN OVER THERE. BUT THE EAST SAYS LETS HAPPEN. COME IN, LET'S LET'S DO SOMETHING THAT'S APPROPRIATE. THAT SHOULD BE DONE. AND I THINK THAT I HOPE THAT YOU GET OUT. INCINERATION. THANKS. THANK YOU. I DON'T SHOW ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THE SUBJECT. PLEASE. EVEN APPRECIATE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. RESIDENTS OF THE. NEIGHBORHOOD NEARBY, SO I'M IN FAVOR OF THE SALVATION ARMY.

HAVING A HOMELESS NEIGHBORHOOD OR HOMELESS SHELTER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. UM, BUT THE DISHES. THE PROBLEM IS, IT'S ADVERTISES A TEMPERATURE TEMPORARY EMERGENCY WARMING STATION. AND THAT'S OKAY. BUT IT'S NOT WHAT THE WORDING OF THE ZONING HAS. SO. IN FAVOR OF BEING THERE. I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE WORD. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE SALVATION ARMY WAS SUCCESSFUL. HOUSING AROUND 23 PEOPLE FOR 33 NIGHTS LAST WINTER WITH NO ISSUES. THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. THE TRIAL ROOM SHOWS A SMALL SCALE EMERGENCY WARMING SHELTER COULD BE RUN IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD SUCCESSFULLY. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CITY COUNCIL TOO. THE WEARY LEERY OF GOING BEYOND THOSE LIMITS. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS THE CITY COUNCIL, TOO. ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF CHANGING THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FROM 40 TO 32 DEGREES. MY ANALYSIS OF THE DATA SAYS 40. DEGREES MEANS OPEN HALF OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE WINTER. SO TOBY. BUT IF YOU GO DOWN TO 32 DEGREES THERE OPEN MOHR OF AN EMERGENCY NUMBER OF NIGHTS BEFORE THEY'RE OPEN AROUND 33 NIGHTS. THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT HOW OFTEN IT GETS BELOW 32 DEGREES. THE ZONING GOES TO 40 DEGREES, WHICH I DON'T THINK ANYBODY THINKS THAT EMERGENCY SHELTERS OPEN HALF THE TIME. THAT'S MY CONCERNING THE WORDING. THE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY IS MY SECOND ISSUE IS 50 PEOPLE, SO THEY DID 23. AND YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL.

ZONING SAYS IT GOES TO 50 PEOPLE. AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING THAT SAYS WHAT. WHY WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT. WHY DOES WHY CAN THEY HOLD TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE WHAT CHANGES THEIR PLAN? SEVERAL PEOPLE SPOKE OF LAST WEEK'S MEETING ABOUT THE RISKS AND THE PROBLEMS THAT COME UP. WITH TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. TOO MANY PEOPLE WALKING BY. PEOPLE JUST BE DROPPING OFF PICKING UP THAT KIND OF STUFF, SO INCREASES THE NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC IN OUR AREA WITH AND SO I'M CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE IS CONCERNED THAT SEVERAL NEIGHBORS I SPOKE TO, UM, WE'RE CONCERNED WITH THAT. SO. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PLANET WAS ONLY COMMISSION. WENT UP TO 50 PEOPLE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WENT UP TO 40 DEGREES. HE WASN'T REALLY PRESENTED. IT WAS LIKE THEY WANT TO MAKE IT BIGGER. I WANT TO MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL. AND WHAT I THINK IS

[00:45:10]

THANK YOU. RIGHT? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? I DON'T KNOW.

SORRY, BUT I WILL. IT'S IT WAS 40. SO IT WASN'T THAT THEY DIDN'T. THEY'RE NOT DOUBLING IT. IT WAS 40 IS JUST NOTE. 40 DIDN'T USE IT LAST YEAR WAS 23. AND I THINK THE REASON WHY THEY WENT UP TO 40 DEGREES IS THAT THEY WANTED THE FLEXIBILITY THAT IF IT'S 40 DEGREES AND RAINING ON DH STRONG WINDS, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT'S A DIFFERENT SITUATION THAN 40 DEGREES AND A CLEAR NIGHT NO END AND NO PRECIPITATION. I THINK THOSE ARE THE TWO REASONS. ALSO, I'LL JUST START THE DISCUSSION APPEAR FOR ME. I KNOW THAT THAT CERTAINLY WE. WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR THIS. WE'RE GOING TO WATCH THIS WE DID LAST YEAR. WE DID DURING THE. DURING THE SEASON. WE HAVE POLICE THAT ARE MONITORING IT, AND AVAILABLE IF THERE WERE TO EVER BE AN ISSUE.

WE HAVE THE SALVATION ARMY, WHICH HAS NO INTEREST IN A IN A PROBLEM. THEY. I THINK WE WON'T HAVE TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT FROM POLICE WILL FIND OUT ABOUT IT FROM. MAJOR THERE IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF ISSUE, SO I THINK THAT THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION. THAT'S JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AS TO WHY. 32 TO 40. THAT'S WHY AND THEY ADDED 10 PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T DOUBLE IT.

IT WAS JUST THAT WAS THE USE LAST YEAR. IT CERTAINLY VALID CONCERNS. AND SO I MEAN, WELL, OBVIOUSLY WATCHING WORK WAY. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BALANCE THE HUMANITY AND COMPASSION AND HELPING CARRYING WITH THE SAFETY AND THE OF THE RESIDENTS. AROUND. DISCUSSION TIME, SO JUST JUST A PROBABLY THREE COMMENTS ON DH. FOR WHY I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS. MAY BE 1/4 WOULD BE EXACTLY WHAT THE MAYOR JUST SAID. BUT YOU KNOW AS WELL AS WE LOOKED AT THIS REMEMBER LAST YEAR AS WE LOOK AT AGAIN THIS YEAR, SO. YES. LOOK IT IN MY MIND, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT PEOPLE IN PROCESS AND SO FROM PROCESS STANDPOINT, WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME LAST YEAR TALKING ABOUT THE PLAN. AND I THINK THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. LAST YEAR, THE PLANE WAS EXECUTED WELL, AND THE OVERNIGHT WARMING SHELTER WAS GOOD. THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, THE TWO PEOPLE INVOLVED HERE THE MOST OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR FEEZER AND ALSO CHIEF COMPANY. AND MY FAITH IS IN THEM THAT, UH, UPWARDS AND MAJORS MOUTH WITH YOU THAT I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY FIND OUT FROM HIM IF THERE'S ISSUES BEFORE WE FIND OUT FROM THE CHIEF, BUT. I VALUE THE DISCRETION AND THE WISDOM OF THOSE TWO FOLKS TO MAKE SURE THIS WORKS WELL. SIR. ENOUGH. I COULDN'T SAID IT ANY BETTER. MAYOR COUNCILMAN BAILEY IT, UM.

REMEMBER. LAST YEAR WE LOST THE RESIDENT IN FRONT OF CVS ON A COLD NIGHT. WOKE UP THAT MORNING AND A YOUNG MAN PROBABLY 24 YEARS OLD. WAS FOUND. EXPIRED IN FRONT OF CBS.

AND WE NEEDED TO HAVE A VERY QUICK, IMPROMPTU CONVERSATION ON WARM AND STATIONS. AND SOME IN FAVOR OF SAVING LIVES. AND IF GOING FROM 40 TO 50. AND IF WE WOULD HAD 40 WAS THE BACKS OF THEM LAST YEAR, AND WE ONLY AVERAGED 23, SO BE IT. WE MOVED TO 50, AND WE ONLY AVERAGE 23.

SO BE IT. BUT IT'S BETTER TO HAVE IT AND NOT NEED IT THAN NEED IT AND NOT HAVE IT. IF YOU HAVE A KITCHEN FIRE IS NOT THE TIME TO GO OUT AND BUY A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. MY MOM WANTS TO BAKE A CAKE. IT'S BETTER TO LOOK UNDER THAT CABINET AND FIND THAT OLD PAN. IT'S BETTER TO HAVE IT UNDER THERE AND NOT USE IT ALL YEAR. HAVE IT WHEN YOU NEED IT THAN NEED IT AND NOT HAVE IT, AND SO I'M IN FAVOR. OF GIVING. SALVATION ARMY IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IN OUR CITY THAT THINGS THAT THEY NEED. WHEN THEY NEEDED AND NOT HAVE IT WHEN WE NEED IT. SO THOSE ARE MORE COMMON. I THINK I WANT TO ADD. ADD TO THAT BECAUSE I REMEMBER SOMEBODY MENTOR. MAYBE YOU ARE MAYBE IN AN EMAIL THAT TALKED ABOUT. WORRIED ABOUT CROWDING, BUT I BELIEVE MAJOR FEES ARE WE ACTUALLY. I DON'T SAY THIS AND CAUSE ANY. BUT NO ONE'S ASKING FOR 100 PEOPLE, BUT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR MUCH MORE. CORRECT AND WE HAVE,

[00:50:01]

TREAT A ZA PARTNERSHIP WITH CITY. I MEAN, HE, YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE THAT WE NEED WE NEED YOU AND AS YOU NEED US AND SO A CZ WHEN I HAD MY CONCERNS, YOU SAID, LOOK, I MEAN, YOU'LL BE IN THE ON TOP OF THINGS.

[CITIZEN COMMENTS ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA]

CAREFUL OR REMEMBERS. I HAVE SINCE ME EMAILS. BEFORE MY NAME MY NAME. EASY TO RECOGNIZE. I WANT TO BRING IT SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE UPCOMING PAINTED TREE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. SO YOU'VE SEEN THE COMPUTER COMMUNITY IMPACT NEWSPAPER. 34 HOMES ACROSS 1000 ACRES. WE DON'T GET INTO THAT. 3400 HOMES ON 1000 ACRES, BUT I DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE 208 A GREEN BELT IN THE LAKE HIDDEN BEHIND THE TREES. MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT'S THERE.

THAT'S A 20 ACRE WAKE. IT'S NORTH OF 3 80 YOU GOTO THE THIRD MONEY TRADE DAYS. WORKING BACK PARKING LOT. THERE'S BIG MOUND OF DIRT. TAKES ON THEIR SIDE, AND WE HAVE RECENTLY REFURBISHED. THAT SPENDS MONEY ON IT AND ALL THAT. SO. THE COMMUNITY IMPACT TALKS ABOUT HELEN'S MANY TRAILS, POSSIBLY LINKING WITH BONNIE WING WILL BE GOING A HEROINE PART SOUNDS GREAT. A PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THIS IS ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S IN COMPANIES PRIVATE LAND AROUND THE LAKE THAT'S SITTING ON PRIVATE LAND THAT WAS BUILT BASICALLY PUBLIC FUNDS. AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE A 28 RELATE WITH SIDES OF TOWN LINK. COME PRIMARY. MAN. MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THERE'S A LOT OF CONSERVATION OPPONENTS IN MCKINNEY. IF YOU DRIVE BY ON WHERE YOU STOP AT HIM, THEY HAVE SCIENCE POSTED ON HIM. AND THEY SAY PRIVATE PROPERTIES.

RESIDENTS ONLY MY FAVORITE. RESIDENTS ONLY TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED. AND I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WEIRD TO HAVE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY. UNIQUE BY MAJOR EXCEPT WORK, REALLY? SO. WE TALK ABOUT OUR HILLS. WE TALKED ABOUT HER LEGS OR STRANGE TREES. I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS PROPERTY. BECOME A PRIVATE LAKE. FOR SPECIFIC RESIDENTS IN COMMUNITIES. IT SHOULD BE FOR EVERYBODY. OF COURSE, THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM WITH A PRIVATE DEVELOPER.

WHAT'D YOU DO WITH THAT INFORMATION DEPARTMENT? ALL THAT THAT YOU GOT A JOB? I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT. BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE SOME LOOK AT THIS AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT PROPERTY IS THERE IN THE LAKE, SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT. BUT IT'S SITTING THERE. HANNAH. THAT'S WHAT A HALF RATE. SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. TAMARA JOHNSON. HELLO. TAMARA JOHNSON. P O BOX 251 FOR MECHANIC, TEXAS. HOW I'M FEELING ABOUT TODAY'S HOPEFUL YET APPREHENSIVE. I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL BE RESCUED FROM THE DAILY DRAMA IN WHICH WE LIVE IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE CLIMATE WE LIVE IN THIS DAY AND AGE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE IN OUR SOCIETY CAN FUNCTION WITHOUT EMPATHY FOR OTHERS AND A HEART FOR HUMANITY. I AM APPREHENSIVE OF THE SELFISH PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY WHO CARED ONLY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FRIENDS WHO HAVE TRICKED THE REGULAR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY

[01:00:02]

YOU ARE COUNCILMAN. AND NO ONE CAN EVER REMOVE THE HISTORICAL FACT THAT YOU WERE DULY ELECTED COUNCILMAN. MCKINNEY, TEXAS DISTRICT ONE. NO MATTER HOW THE STORY PLAYS OUT. IT ALWAYS HAS TO BEGIN WITH. YOU BEING DULY ELECTED COUNCILMAN MCKINNEY, TEXAS DISTRICT ONE, NO MATTER HOW THE LEADERS OF THE CITY CHANGED THINGS TO BE ABLE TO MANIPULATE THEIR WATT, AND THAT TRIED TO COME TO UNDERSTAND THE PLIGHT OF HUMAN BEINGS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. EVEN THOUGH YOU USE LANGUAGE THAT MAY HAVE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE TOE. ALL THE SENTIMENT WAS PROPHETIC. AND IT STILL IS TRUE. THERE IS A BLACK STATE OF EMERGENCY IN THIS PLACE IN THE CITY. IN THIS COUNTY IN THE STATE AND IN THIS COUNTRY. IF YOU DON'T THINK THERE IS PLEASE KEEP IT I ON THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 COMFORT HAS A PLAN. THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES. I HOPE THAT WE CAN OPEN OUR COLLECTIVE EYES SHAKE THE DUST OFF OF OUR COLLECTIVE FEET AND COME TO THE COLLECTIVE REALIZATION THAT. WE WAS NOT LET PRIDE OR FEAR. KEEP US FROM SPEAKING UP. WE MUST BEGIN TO THINK AGAIN LIKE DR KING. OUR LIVES BEGIN. TO END THE DAY WE BECOME SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER. IN THE END, WE WILL REMEMBER NOT THE WORDS OF OUR ENEMIES. WITH THE SILENCE OF OUR FRIENDS. AND IF I MIGHT ASK THE SILENCE OF THIS COUNTY THANK YOU, TAMARA.

JOSHUA MARIE. SO MY NAME'S JOSHUA MARIA, LIVE A 176 TO LAKE ROAD. I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT. SO I JUST WANT TO GET UP HERE. NO ONE TO. THANK EACH ONE OF YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS AND NOT SEE ALL STAFF, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY COUNCIL MEMBERS ELECTED LEADERS, MAYOR FULLER LIKE WHENEVER Y'ALL COME HERE, IT'S SELFLESS SERVICE. TO ME.

I APPRECIATE YOU NOT LIKE GIVING IN. I APPRECIATE YOU LIKE STANDING UP AND VOICING YOUR OPINION. OKAY? THE REASON I SAY THIS BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES.

WHAT HAPPENS AS ELECTED LEADERS AND MAYBE SOME OF YOUR EXPERIENCES IS THAT AS LIKE.

PEOPLE START TO SPEAK OUT. ELECTED LEADERS A LOT OF TIMES SILENCE THEIR VOICE AND THEY DON'T SPEAK FROM THE HEART ANYMORE, AND THEY DON'T SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO ON DIVE.

THINK TO MAYOR PRO TEMPERED FOR DOING THAT VERY THING FOR EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY IN COUNCIL MEMBER SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY EITHER. YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE EACH ONE OF YOU, UM, IN THE DIALOGUE THAT YOU BRING TO THE DIOCESE, AND, UM, IN REGARDS TO COUNCIL MEMBER, SCHIMMEL SPECIFICALLY. UM, I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT LIKE THERE'S NOT A SINGLE VOTE THAT HAS GONE AGAINST ANYTHING THATYOU CAMPAIGN FOR THERE'S NOT BEEN A SINGLE VOTE THAT YOU'VE MADE ON THIS COUNCIL.

UM, THAT. ONE AGAINST DISTRICT ONE OR THOSE PEOPLE IN WHICH YOU WE'RE ELECTED TO SERVE. UM, I FIND HIM THE AND UNDERSTANDING IN THAT LIKE AS YOU EXPERIENCE THINGS THAT

[01:05:02]

LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT AS ONE COUNTS. REMEMBER, THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO, UM AND I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE YOU AND SAY THAT I NOTICED THAT YOU NEVER DID VOTE AGAINST DISTRICT ONE YOU ALWAYS FOLLOWED THROUGH FOR THEM. ON WHEN YOUR VOICE FOR SILENCE.

YOU RAISED IT AND DID WHAT SHE COULD. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JUSTIN WOULD. I JUST WANNA START BY. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE AND ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. SO I AM THE PASTOR AND ONE OF THE DIRECTORS FOR CITY CHURCH MCKINNEY YOUTH OUTREACH. UM, WE STARTED CITY CHURCH MCKINNEY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. AND OUR GOAL WAS TO DO OUTREACH EVENTS. OUR PRIMARY GOAL WAS TO HELP THE DISADVANTAGED YOUTH AND FAMILIES OF MCKINNEY'S EASTSIDE. WE STARTED OUT WITH JUST OUTREACH EVENTS, BUT OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS IT TURNED INTO. A FULL TIME YOUTH OUTREACH WITH WEEKLY SERVICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND, UM.

IN THOSE 10 YEARS. YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE BUILT UP FROM SERVING JUST A FEW FAMILIES THAT WE MET ORGANICALLY TO SERVING LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF KIDS AND FAMILIES. WE WENT FROM JUST BEING ON EVENT MINISTRY TO WORKING WITH KIDS ON A WEEKLY BASIS, HAVING MONDAY'S SUNDAY SERVICES. WEDNESDAY NIGHT. YOUTH WE HAVE MONDAYS IS OUR COLLEGE KIDS CLASS. UM, OUR PROGRAM GREW FROM BEING JUST THESE EVENTS TO NOW ARE COLLEGE PROGRAM INCLUDES A THING WHERE.

EVERY STUDENT WHO GRADUATES FROM OUR PROGRAM GETS A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP. UM, WE HAVE WE HAVE VARIOUS EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. FROM OUR THANKSGIVING EVENT, WHICH PACKS BOXES WITH FROZEN TURKEYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. FOR FAMILIES IN NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. A CZ WELL AS MANY, MANY OTHER THINGS, TAKING KIDS TO CAMP AND STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT WHEN WE STARTED THIS, WE STARTED IT JUST OUT OF A WAREHOUSE WHERE I WAS DOING. MY FAMILY WAS DOING CONSTRUCTION.

AND THE REASON I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL IS TO TELL YOU THAT WE'RE FINALLY REALIZING A DREAM AND WE'RE GOING TO BE BREAKING GROUND ON A YOUTH OUTREACH CENTER. ON THE EAST SIDE, UM, IN THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE AND SO WHAT I'M HERE TONIGHT TO DO IS JUST TO INVITE ALL OF YOU ON THE COUNCIL AND ANYBODY IN ATTENDANCE. THE POLICE IS WELL TO COME. PLEASE BE A PART OF OUR GROUND BREAKING EVENT. UM AND BE A PART OF THIS THISS. THIS THING THAT'S GOING TO SERVE AS A BEACON IN THE COMMUNITY.

THAT WE CAN OPERATE OUT OF TO DO OUR PROGRAMS TO DO OUR MINISTRY WORK AND ALSO OUR MENTORING TUTORING PROGRAMS THAT WE DO FOR THIS FOR THE YOUTH THAT WE CURRENTLY WORK WITH. WE ALSO HAVE OUR ADULT MINISTRIES THAT WE'RE HOPING TO KICK OFF OR WE COULD TEACH LIFE SKILLS AND OTHER CHRISTIAN. LESSON PLANS AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR ADULTS,

[01:10:04]

RIGHT. THAT IS ALL WE HAVE FOR SPEAKERS THAT HAVE REGISTERED. NOW MOVE TO COUNSEL MANAGER

[COUNCIL AND MANAGER COMMENTS]

NOVEMBER 3RD SWITCH SELECTION. I GOT EXCITED. EXCITED. I JOINED A.

MCKINNIE CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY. AND ME AND COUNSEL AND FRANKLY, WE WERE BOTH PART OF THE KITTY CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY. IN THIS LAST CLASS. WE GOT TO ENJOY CHIEF SISTER. I GOT TO SPEAK TO THE CLASSES LAST CLASS. AND WE JOKE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. WE GET TO RIDE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RIGHT WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND ONE OF THE RUNNING JOKES WITH THE CITY IS YOU KNOW, EVERYONE LOVES A FIREMAN. SO WE PULL UP SOMETIMES WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAY, HEY, CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOU PARK ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT SO THAT WE CAN SAVE ROOM FOR THE FIRE APPARATUS BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES A FIREMAN. ANYWAYS, THE CHIEF WAS TALKING. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW HE BECAME AN ACCIDENTAL FIRE CHIEF. HE WAS JUST FINE WITH BEING A FIREMAN NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT BEING A FIRE CHIEF. BUT HE SAID THE CHIEF THAT HE WAS SERVING UNDER WANTED TO DO THINGS HIS WAY.

THAT'S THE WAY THAT THINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DONE. IN BED. IF WE'RE NOT SEEKING. WE'RE NOT SEEKING TO CHANGE IF WE'RE NOT SEEKING TO LEARN THINGS THAT ARE NOT SEEKING TO DO, MOHR. IF WE'RE NOT THINKING AHEAD. IF WE'RE BEING STAGNANT. AND IF WE'RE BEING STAGNANT, THEN WE'RE FALLING BEHIND. THIS IS WHAT CHIEF KISSINGER WAS SAYING. HE SAID. WE HAVE TO BE LEADERS. IF WE'VE WE'VE GOT TO BE AGENTS OF CHANGE. NO. COUNCILMAN FRANKLIN WAS IN THE CLASS WITH ME CAN ATTEST IT. THIS WAS THE TESTIMONY OF CHIEF. KISSINGER AND I ADMIRE CHIEF KISSINGER. EVERYONE LOVES A FIREMAN. AND I THOUGHT THAT CHIEF KISSINGER WAS SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO MY HEART BE SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO. WHO I AM AS A PERSON AND HOW I ENDED UP IN THIS POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I WAS AN ACCIDENTAL COUNCILMAN. I NEVER DESIRED. TO BE IN THIS POSITION. IT WAS NEVER A DREAM OF MINE. I DID NOT GROW UP THINKING THAT I WAS GOING TO BE A COUNCILMAN. NEVER NEVER DREAMED OF IT. RIGHT? YOU KNOW, AS I SAW THE THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS CITY AND HAPPENING. FROM OUR COMMUNITY OR LACK THEREOF, THINGS NOT HAPPENING IN MY COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, I WAS AN ACCIDENTAL COUNCILMAN.

THERE WAS NO LEADERSHIP. NOBODY WAS DOING THE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE IN MY COMMUNITY. DOES THAT HURT? MISS BENTLEY, SPEAKING. EARLIER, SHE TALKED ABOUT THE HEART. OF THE CITY. HE SAW THE HEART OF THE CITY AND. I BROUGHT UP MY CAMPAIGN BROCHURE FROM 3.5 YEARS AGO, IT SAYS LEADERSHIP FOR THE HEART OF THE CITY. WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT WAS MY MOTTO AND I RAN ON TRANSPORTATION. CLEAN WATER AND INFRASTRUCTURE. PROMOTING HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES AND OPTIONS FOR ALL RESIDENTS. THOSE THINGS. I CAN TELL YOU

[01:15:01]

WE APPROVE A PARK IN THE GARAGE FOR DOWNTOWN. MERCHANTS. WE APPROVED COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR COLLIN COUNTY. ANNEXATION OF THE NORTH NORTHWEST SECTION. SIGNED PERMITS EVEN THINGS FROM THE LITTLEST THINGS WHEN BUSINESSES CAME IN HERE AND SAID, WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH FRISCO ON CUSTER ROAD, BECAUSE OUR SIGN PERMITS WE GAVE VARIANCES TO THEM. OMAR WHEELS AND TIRES, COSTCO WAR DISPUTES. I SAT WITH THE SMALLEST OF INDIVIDUALS IN THIS IN THIS CITY, TEO TO FACILITATE THE SMALLEST DISPUTES. WE DID WAR RAISINS. WE DID THE ANTHONY STREET REHAB FOR HOMES. 2018. WE DID CRACK TAX CREDITS. WHEN THEY HAD A 2018 TO 2020 GATE NESBITT PARK PLAN. I SAID WHAT ABOUT THE PARKS ON THE EAST SIDE? YOU GOT A FOUR YEAR PLAN FOR GABE NESBITT? WHAT ABOUT MY PARKS? AND NOW YOU, KHUN GO TO ANY PART EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE EAST OF 75 SEE THAT I'VE WORKED. DAY IN AND DAY OUT FOR DISTRICT ONE EVERY DAY THAT I CAME THE COUNCIL AND THE COUNCIL SUPPORTIVE OF THESE THINGS. SPECIAL WARRANTY DEEDS WERE GIVEN UP. I SAID PAUL GROUNDS WHERE THESE DEEDS COME FROM. HOW CAN OUR COMMUNITY GET THESE LANDS? WE HAVE PROVED THE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER. ALL OF THESE THINGS YOU MIGHT MISS WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HARDEN IN 3 80. NORTH CORNER APARTMENT. 3 80 LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO. WE INCREASE THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR ELDERLY AND DISABLED. DIVERSIFIED HOUSING SIZES FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. SF 77.2 WAS A VERY CONTENTIOUS ISSUE. AND YOU KNOW WHO WHO SIGNED ONTO THAT THE MAYOR MADE THE MOTION AND I SECOND THAT. WE HAVE OUR FIRST BLACK CITY SECRETARY AND EMPRESS TRAIN. WE EXPAND JOHN AND JUDY GAY SIDE PLANT EXPANSION. WE FUNDED THE SORROW SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS THAT MAKING THE ICED TEA. SO WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO SAY THAT.

SOMEHOW I HATE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE. ITEM FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT HAS COME THROUGH THIS CITY THAT WE HAVE NOT FUNDED. AND GIVEN THEM THE THINGS IN THE RESOURCE IS THAT THEY NEED TO KEEP THIS COMMUNITY SAFE. IT JUST ISN'T TRUE. BUT YOU MIGHT LOSE ALL OF THOSE THINGS LISTENING TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA RIFFRAFF IN THE NONSENSE. WE CREATE IN OUR CUE FOR FUTURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS, UTILISING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE FORMATION OF THE MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION TO MAKE SURE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONTINUES TO BE ON THE FOREFRONT. WITHOUT COSTING THE TAXPAYERS MONEY. WHEN PORSCHE CAME IN AND WANTED VARIANTS AFTER VARIANTS. I SAID NO WAY.

YOU NEED TO ADHERE TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY'S. PROTOCOLS I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT CRONYISM. I DON'T CARE ABOUT SPECIAL INTERESTS YOU NEED TO BE TREATED LIKE BILLY JOE FROM THE EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY FIVE. MCKINNEY. YOU NEED TO ADHERE TO

[01:20:07]

IT'S WHO I AM. THAT'S THE WAY MY MOTHER RAISED ME TO BE. I SAW A HORRIFIC VIDEO OF A POOL PARTY INCIDENT HERE. MCKINNEY AND I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I STEPPED UP. AND I HAD A ROAD TO PLAY, AND THAT'S THE WHOLE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. I'M NOT PERFECT. THANK GOD I SERVE A GOD THAT SAYS THAT IF I ASK HIM FOR FORGIVENESS. THAT I CAN BE FREE OF THOSE THINGS AND HE WOULD NOT HOLD THOSE THINGS TO GET AGAINST ME. AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST, THEY ARE NO LONGER HELD AGAINST ME. UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE ARE MCKINNEY DO NOT SEE THAT THE SAME. I WANT TO HOLD MY PAST AGAINST ME. AND THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO BRING IT UP IN MY FACE. PEOPLE THAT CONTINUE TO THROW YOUR PAST UP AGAINST YOU ARE INTIMIDATED BY YOUR FUTURE.

I'M IN PERFECT AS WE ALL ARE. I STRIVE TO DO THE BEST THING THAT I CAN FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

CITY OF MCKINNEY HAS DONE SOME THINGS THEY CHANGED THE RULES. THEY CHANGE SEVERAL RULES. THAT WILL HAVE A MUCH BIGGER IMPACT ON JUST ME. THEY WANTED TO REMOVE ME. THEY HEARD THE VOTING RIGHTS OF EVERYBODY IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND THAT IS NOT OKAY. IS COUNSEL PROPOSED TO CHANGE THE CITY CHARTER THAT WILL ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY VOTERS THAT NOT ONLY GOES AGAINST THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF GEOGRAPHIC COUNCIL DISTRICTS BUT GOES AGAINST COMMON SENSE BY ALLOWING CITIZENS. WHO DON'T VOTE TO ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE, PETITION AND VOTE TO REMOVE THAT REPRESENTATIVE. AT THE VERY CORE. PLEASE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THAT. I MAY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HOW I SAY THINGS. YOU MAY LOOK AT MY PAST AND CONSIDER ME I'M FIT. YOU MAY NOT LIKE ME, BUT IN ORDER TO REMOVE ME THE POWERS THAT BE CHANGED THE VOTING RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS CITY THAT IMPACT GOES BEYOND ME OR THE DIFFERENT DIFFERENCES WE'VE HAD ON THE DIETS. AND I THINK, UNLESS CORRECTED WILL HAVE A LONG LASTING, DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON CITIZENS OF THIS CITY, SPECIFICALLY MINORITIES. THAT IMPACT WILL BE IMMEDIATE AS THIS COUNCIL WILL RUSH TO REPLACE ME WITH SOMEONE THEY SEE FIT. SOMEONE WHO WILL MAKE DECISIONS THAT BENEFIT OR ALIGN WITH THEM AS CITIZENS, WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ISSUES ON THE HORIZON FOR DISTRICT ONE. THE CITY IS LEADING AN EFFORT TO REDEVELOP AREAS EAST OF HIGHWAY FIVE WILL ROLL OUT PLANS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WHILE THESE PLANS WILL BRING NEEDED DEVELOPMENT INTO THAT AREA, WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THESE PLANS ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA AND DO NOT. AND NOT DONE AT THEIR EXPENSE. IN A FEW MONTHS AGO, I VOTED AGAINST A PLAN TO IMMINENT DOMAIN, A SMALL STRIP OF LAND CURRENTLY USED AS A TRAILER PART, BUT INTENDED TO BE PARKING FOR THE UPCOMING REDEVELOPMENT. THES RESIDENTS ARE SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE NEED TO BE FOCUSING ON WAYS TO MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER, NOT JUST WAYS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY. EAST. MCKINNEY IS AT RISK OF GENTRIFICATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO NEED REPRESENTATION, NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO WILL GO ALONG WITH WHAT THIS COUNCIL WANTS. MCKINNIE URBANIZED TRANSIT DISTRICT IS SET TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES IN MCKINNEY. I WORKED HARD TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF MY COMMUNITY BY ADVOCATING FOR SERVICES FOR ELDERLY AND DISABLED. AND I FOUGHT FOR THE EXPANSION OF SERVICE IS TOO LOW TO MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS.

THAT PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE BETTER AND WILL CONTINUE TO NEED REPRESENTATION. NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO WILL GO ALONG WITH WHAT THIS COUNCIL WANTS. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED A HOUSING REPORT ON THE HOUSING NEEDS OF MCKINNEY. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT OR SEEN THE PRESENTATION, YOU SHOULD. SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE I'VE ADVOCATED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE

[01:25:03]

AND I HOPE YOU WILL, TOO. I WILL FINISH WITH THIS ON DH. MISS MISS JOHNSON SAID THIS AND I'M SORRY. YOU KNOW MY COMMENTS ALONG WE'VE WE'VE HAD A LONG A LONG FIGHT A LONG DAY. DR KING SAID THAT AND YOU SAID IT ALREADY. IN THE END, WE WILL REMEMBER NOT THE WORDS OF OUR ENEMIES, BUT THE SILENCE OF OUR FRIENDS. I ASK YOU THIS. HOW OUTSPOKEN HAVE YOU BEEN FRIEND? HE SAW THE MOB'S COMING FOR US. CORRUPTION THE INHUMANE TREATMENT, THE INEQUITIES, THE RAPES AND THE MURDERS. DID YOU USE YOUR VOICE? YOUR BODY. YOUR POSITION. YOUR PLATFORM. HOW LOUD ARE YOU, FRIEND? YOUR SILENCE IS DEAFENING. I'VE GOT A LOT OF PRIVATE TEXT MESSAGES OF SUPPORT. NOT A LOT OF PHONE CALLS. HOW MANY OF YOU WERE SUPPORTIVE IN PUBLIC. HOW MANY OF YOU USE YOUR POSITION ON THIS DIET IS TO BE SUPPORTIVE IN PUBLIC. HOW MANY OF YOU USE YOUR POSITION IN PUBLIC TO SAY THIS IS WRONG? HOW ILL SPOKEN WHERE YOU FRIEND. IN THE END.

WE WILL REMEMBER NOT THE WORDS OF OUR ENEMIES. THE SILENCE OF OUR FRIENDS. THIS IS PROBABLY MY LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND I'M HONORED TO HAVE SERVED THIS COMMUNITY I WAS HOMELESS. MY FATHER WAS KILLED WHEN I WAS 12. I WAS HOMELESS IN THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES. I SPENT 10 YEARS ON PROBATION. MY MOTHER WAS A TEENAGE MOM. I RAISED MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO HELP MY MOTHER. I WAS LIVING IN THE MCKINNEY HOUSING PROJECTS WHEN I RAN FOR OFFICE.

I MAKE LESS THAN $30,000 A YEAR. I COULDN'T GET INTO THE SAMARITAN IN WHEN ME AND MY SON WERE HOMELESS BECAUSE I DIDN'T MEET THE CRITERIA. THERE WAS NO WARMTH AND SHELTER FOR US TO GET IN. OH, GOD. SO WHEN I SAY I NEVER IMAGINED. IN A COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT I WAS DULY ELECTED.

SO I ALREADY HAVE THE VICTORY I'VE ALREADY WANT. SO I'M HUMBLED IN HONOR TO SIT IN THIS POSITION. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SERVE. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. YOU. THANK YOU COUNT. UM. IT'S ELECTION NIGHT. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THERE'S AN ANXIETY THAT'S GOING AROUND OUR COUNTRY, OUR STATE, OUR COUNTY EVERYWHERE ELSE WATCHING THE POLLS AS THEY'RE COMING IN. THE ONLY THING I DO ASK IS THAT WE DON'T FAN THE FIRES. WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS ON WE MOVE ON. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF POLICE OFFICERS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. THAT AIR DON'T BE WORKING. I'M GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM ASKED ME DOWNTOWN. COUPLE HOURS WHERE THEY BOARDED UP DOWNTOWN ALREADY AND ALL THE CITY'S MAJOR CITIES ARE BOARDED UP RIGHT NOW. MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT. AND WE HAVE THE NATIONAL GUARD SITTING ON STANDBY AND WE HAVE AH, RIOT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY ON STANDBY. AND I'M GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM. AND SO THE LAST THING WE KNEW HIS FOLKS OUT THERE, JUMPING IN THE STREET, TELLING FOLKS THAT WE NEED TO TEAR IT DOWN. BREAK IT DOWN. BURN IT UP. WE COULD MOVE ON IN THE COUNTRY AT ANY POINT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S THE LEADERSHIP. WE'RE ALL LEADERS EVERY SINGLE DAY. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. AND SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS STAND TALL AND BE BETTERTHAN THE PERSON THAT'S MAKING THOSE NOTIONS TO DO THAT.

AND I JUST ASKED THAT I PRAY FOR THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE OUT THERE WHEN YOU'RE

[01:30:01]

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW. SO THANK YOU AGAIN. MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE. PHILLIPS, COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS SURE, MR MAYOR OF. FIVE AND SIX, A VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT WILL BE STARTING SHORTLY.

HELL FOR SHE'S A SENIOR OUT THERE INTO PLAYS, LOBERO. MR MAYOR, YOUR BENEFIT LOBERO IS KIND OF LIKE THE DRUMMER IN THE BAND ALWAYS BACK ITS BACK.

FOR MCKINNIE BOYS GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM, SHE WEARS NUMBER FOUR, AND WE'RE TRULY PROUD OF HER AND SO GOOD JOB RILING OVER IT. MCKINNEY NORTH. YOU HAVE A YOUNG LADY NAMED HALEY COLLEGE. SHE'S A SENIOR OUTSIDE HITTER, AND SHE WEARS NUMBER THREE. THE RECRUITING THIS YEAR IS RATHER DIFFICULT WITH COVE IT BECAUSE OF THE PERSONAL VISITS, AND SO NEITHER THESE YOUNG LADIES HAVE COLLEGE LOCKED DOWN YET, BUT I SUSPECT WE WILL SEE BOTH OF THEM. GO ON AND REPRESENT MCKINNEY WELL AT THE NEXT LEVEL IN VOLLEYBALL. HALEY IS A TEAM CAPTAIN JIA'S LISTED BY HER COACH IS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKERS IN THE GYM. SHE'S VERY COMPETITIVE. ALWAYS PUT THE TEAM FIRST AND A GREAT TEAM MEMBER. SHE ALSO HAS AN OUTSTANDING 4.2 NON GPS. AND WHAT I LIKE BEST ABOUT HIM IS THAT SHE'S A MEMBER OF THE PALS PROGRAM. AND IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT, THAT'S WHERE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GO ON TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THEY MAKE FRIENDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. STUDENT AT THOSE SCHOOLS, AND THEY BECOME GREAT FRIENDS AND MENTORS FOR YOUNGER PERSON WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT HAYLEY.

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF THOSE YOUNG LADIES. YOU MAKE MCKINNEY VERY PROUD ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL SENT NOTES TO BOTH THESE YOUNG LADIES TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE ENTIRE CITY OF MCKINNEY IS VERY, VERY PROUD OF THEM. OUR OWN LITTLE FOOTBALL PLAYER, MATTHEW JETER, HIS FOOTBALL SEASON WITH MECHANIC COWBOYS CAME TOO CLOSE. IT WAS A LEARNING SEASON FOR THE COWBOYS THIS YEAR, AND I THINK THING THAT THEY LEARNED MORE THAN ANYTHING WAS WHEN YOU'RE A THIRD BRIGHTER. IT'S HARD BEING 1/4 GRADE TEAM. ON. SO I WANT MATTHEW AND HIS TEAMMATES TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU'RE 59, THEY WILL ALL BE TURNING 60, AND YOU WILL GET THE LAST LAUGH ON THAT, MATTHEW.

THEY HAVE A BY THIS WEEKEND, BUT WE SHOULD SEE HIM ON FIELD AGAINST MISSISSIPPI STATE. HOPE ALL OF YOU WILL WATCH ANOTHER YET GREAT YOUNG MAN FROM MCKINNEY, TEXAS. AND FINALLY ON BEHALF OF THE MCKINNEY FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE. THIS IS A CIVILIAN ORGANIZATION IS NOT POLICE OFFICERS, BUT THEY HAVE A PROGRAM EVERY YEAR CALLED SHOP WITH COPS. AND THIS IS A TREMENDOUS PROGRAM BECAUSE IT ALLOWS POLICE OFFICERS. THEY HAVE CIVILIANS FOR THEIR FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE.

POLICE OFFICERS. YOU'RE NOT OUT SOLICITING, BUT. PEOPLE SUPPORT THEM MAKE GIFTS OF CASH, CLOTHING AND OTHER DONATIONS. THEY TAKE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM UNDERPRIVILEGED HOUNDS OUT SHOPPING WHEN IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME. THEY GET HIM SOME CLOTHES AND GET HIM ALL THE SCHOOL SUPPLIES THEY NEED SO THEY'LL HAVE A HEALTHY ATTITUDE. THEY KNOW THAT THEY'LL SUCCEED AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT BEING MADE FUN OF BY OTHER PEOPLE, AND FOR THE POLICE OFFICER TO TAKE THESE GUYS OUT SHOPPING. THEY ALSO DO IT AT CHRISTMAS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS IS WELL. SO I URGE ALL OF YOU TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR LOCAL FOR JOURNAL ORDER OF POLICE AND DONATE THEM NOT ONLY FOR THE CHILDREN WHO BENEFIT FROM THIS, BUT I THINK

THAT IS ALL I HAVE, SIR, RIGHT? I'LL TRY TO BE I WILL BE. GRIEF TO START WITH CITY CHURCH THAT WAS HERE TONIGHT. THEY ARE REALLY FANTASTIC ORGANIZATION. ONE THING THEY DID NOT MENTION IS THERE IN A FUNDRAISING MODE. AND THEY PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE DOERS IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY ARE THEY LOOK AFTER THOSE WITH WITH FOOD

[01:40:01]

PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO, ORGANIZATION, SO YOU SHOULD LOOK THEM UP CITY CHURCH. THEY ARE BUILDING THIS FACILITY, BUT THEY'RE DOING IT ON FAITH. THEY HAVEN'T RAISED ALL THE MONEY, BUT THEY'RE STARTING IT. SO WE NEED TO RISE UP AS A COMMUNITY AND HELP THEM ACHIEVE THAT. I WANT TO MENTION CAMERON SPEARS. A YOUNG LITTLE GIRL 10 YEARS OLD THAT WON THE BRONZE PRESIDENTS VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD. AND SHE 10 YEARS OLD AND SHE DID THIS EARNED. THIS WAS AWARDED THIS WORKING WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED WHAT'S EVER IS GOOD. AND THEY HAD THEY HAD ONE OF THEIR PROJECTS WAS WORKING WITH THE GRACE OUTREACH CENTER IN PLANO, PROVIDING FOOD AND THIS LITTLE GIRL WORKED TREMENDOUSLY HARD. AND MADE SANDWICHES AND DID ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO HELP. THOSE THAT NEEDED HELP AND SO VERY PROUD OF HER WINNING THE BRONZE PRESIDENT, VOLUNTEER SERVICE FORWARD AND THAT ORGANIZATION WHATSOEVER IS GOOD ACTUALLY HAD 12 IN TOTAL. YOUNG KIDS THAT EARNED THAT AWARD SO. AND IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE CHAOS AND WHAT SEEMS TO BE SOMETIMES SUCH HATRED. THERE'S OUR YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING REALLY GOOD THINGS AND. AND HAVEN'T LEARNED TO HATE AND I AM SO GRATEFUL AND HOPEFUL FOR THEM BECAUSE WE SURE AS HECK. ARE NOT PROVIDING THEM A GOOD EXAMPLE AS ADULTS IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY. SO I HONOR HER AND JUST APPRAISER. THE ELECTION GOING ON. IT WAS MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES NUMBER NO MATTER WHO WINS. OBVIOUSLY, EVERYONE KNOWS WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SURVIVE, BELIEVE OR NOT. THE ONLY WAY WE WON'T SURVIVE THIS IF WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOWTO GET ALONG COME TOGETHER. UNITE WAS WE ARE SO DIVIDED. IT'S INCREDIBLE. WE ARE IN A PLACE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN 19 TWENTIES ITALY BEFORE MUSSOLINI. IT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY. IT'S JUST HORRIFYING. SO I WANT TO END WITH COUNCILMAN SAMWELL. YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY HAVE HAD SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES.

WE'VE ALSO WORKED WORKED ON SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS TOGETHER AND ONE THING REGARDLESS OF WHAT I FEEL ON THIS OR THAT. ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS KNOW, AND I'VE ALWAYS FELT ABOUT YOU. AND I STILL FEEL ABOUT YOU IS YOU'RE TREMENDOUSLY PASSIONATE. YOU'RE PASSIONATE AND YOU HAVE A. HEART AND I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO DO GOOD IN THIS COMMUNITY. I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO WANT TO DO GOOD AND. YOU DON'T NEED TO AGREE, OR WE CAN. WE CAN HAVE SOME GRAVE DIFFERENCES, BUT DOESN'T DOESN'T TAKE THAT AWAY AND ALL THE THINGS YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS COUNCIL WORKED ON TOGETHER. YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY A PART OF AND. AND I APPRECIATE THAT, REALLY. SO THANK YOU FOR SERVING, AND, UH AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.

ANYONE THAT SERVES. SO WITH THAT, PLEASE GO HOME TONIGHT. AND DON'T BE LIKE SOME OF THE FAMILIES OUT THERE THAT DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER ANYMORE BECAUSE OF POLITICAL DIFFERENCES. YOU KNOW, THERE'S DEMOCRATS WITH FANTASTIC IDEAS. THERE'S REPUBLICANS WITH FANTASTIC IDEAS, AND THERE'S REALLY IDIOTIC IDEAS ON BOTH SIDES TO WRITE HALF THE COUNTRY'S NOT STUPID AND HALF THE COUNTRY IS SMART. IT'S WE'RE ALL SOME STUPID AND SMART ANYWHERE YOU LOOK. COME TOGETHER, FOR GOD'S SAKES. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. WITH THAT MOTION TO ADJOURN, SO MOVED. ALL IN FAVOR OF YOUR JOURNEY.
