[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS (For Non-Public Hearing Agenda Items)]
LIST OF TO HAVE TOMORROW. JOHNSON. UM, ARE YOU I'VE GOT YOU LISTED AS PUBLIC COMMENT IS THAT. THIS IS THE SPECIAL MEETING.OKAY. WHAT HAPPENS NOW IN MCKINNEY? HOW DO YOU AS A COUNCIL COME TO REPLACE SOMEONE THAT YOU IN YOUR POWER, DRUGGED MINDS BASICALLY MANIPULATED TO BE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK RATHER THAN WORK TO A PLACE THAT SOME OF YOU PRETENDED TO REACH AFTER YOU HAD MANIPULATED THE RECALL.
NOW WHAT? NOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE COUNSEL BUT JIM WELLS, FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS SILENCE ON THIS COUNCIL WILL THE INTERIM DISTRICT WHEN COUNCIL PERSON BE ABLE TO HAVE A TRUE VOICE HERE? WELL, DISTRICT ONE TRULY BE INCLUDED AS A VIABLE MEMBER AND THE DECISION MAKING OF EVEN ITS OWN BOUNDARIES. WILL THEY BE ABLE TO CAMPUS? THE OPINIONS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS AND PUT BEFORE HIS CONSTITUENTS THEIR PREFERENCES FOR THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD EXISTENCE? WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE NOW CALLED THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WITH ITS INTENT NOTED FOR THE MILL DISTRICT AS. DIVISION FOR A TRANSIT VILLAGE AND URBANISED STATE HIGHWAY FIVE CORONER IS ANCHORED BY THE RESPECTED HERITAGE AND VITALITY OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO ASK THIS, BUT HOW DID LEWIS FOR LIVELY HEAL THE ROCK WALL BECOME THE MEAL DISTRICT? FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, THOSE COMMUNITIES HAVE STOOD AND SUPPORTED ONE ANOTHER AND QUIETLY ALLOWED THE PEOPLE UPTOWN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS ACROSS THOSE TRACKS. THERE ARE SO MANY PLANS WITHIN THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WILL PROBABLY MISPLACED FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE FABRIC OF LEWISVILLE, LIVELY HILL AND ROCKWELL. WE KNOW THE PREMIERE FACILITIES TOPS BURY THE NEW CITY HALL IN THE AIRPORT EXPANSION ARE COMING AND WILL BE DISRUPTING LIVES WITHIN OUR BELOVED COMMUNITIES. WE GET IT RENEWAL. SO WHAT NOW? PROBABLY THE WRONG THING TO ASK. BUT HAVE ANY OF YOU QUESTION THE COMMUNITY AT ALL? TO FIND OUT WHO WE WANT TO REPRESENT US. HAVE YOU EVEN CONSIDERED WHO WE MAY WANT TO BE OUR TEMPORARY REPRESENTATIVE UNTIL MAY. HAS THERE BEEN A SURVEY CIRCULATED AMONG VOTERS WITHIN THE DISTRICT TO ASK. WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE REPRESENT DISTRICT ONE UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION? HAVIN ME ANY OF YOU HAD RECENT TOWNHOUSE TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE THE INTERIM COUNCIL PERSON FOR DISTRICT. WHAT? OR IS IT JUST SOMEONE THAT THIS CLOSE GROUP OF WHICH I SEE NOT ONE MINORITY WILL DECIDE TO REPRESENT THE ONLY MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICT IN THIS CITY. I PRAY THAT SOME CONVERSATION TO THIS DECISION HAS BEEN HAD WITH GOD. I PRAY THAT HE HAS BEEN SOUGHT AND THE MAKING OF THIS IMPORTANT DETERMINATION.
ONE MORE THING THAT SEEMS TO HAVE JUST EVAPORATED INTO THIN AIR. ARE THE ISSUES CONNECTED TO THE STATUE, NAMELY, THE CHANGING OF THE NAME OF THE STREET THAT ONCE THROUGH LEWISVILLE RIGHT BOARD HAS THAT SURVEY BEEN DRAWN UP YET? I HOPE THE ANSWER IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HAPPENED WHEN LOUIS RELIABLY HILL AND ROCK WALL WERE RENAMED THE MILLE DISTRICT. KEEP ALONSO TOUCHING. GOOD EVENING, MR MAYOR, COUNCIL CITY MANAGER STAFF. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY ATTIRE. BUT AFTER THIS I HAVE A FOOTBALL GAME TO ATTEND, YOU KNOW, FAMILY ISSUES. SO YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES.

[Consider/Discuss Vacancies on City Council Under Sec. 17 of the McKinney Home Rule Charter]
SESSION ITEM. 20 0 21 00, A CONCERN DISCUSSED VACANCIES ON CITY COUNCIL UNDER SECTION 17 OF THE MCKINNEY HOME RULE CHARTER. YOUR HOUSE. SIR MISS MAYOR COUNCIL. THIS IS JUST A BRIEFING ON THE PROCESS. IF YOU COULD PUT THE FIRST SLIDE IN THERE, IT'S GOING TO SHOW THE COUNCIL THAT. THE GENERAL CHARTER WAS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION. WHICH ALLOWS FOR A VACANCY TO BE FILLED. WHEN THE REMAINING REMAINDER OF A TERM IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR. SO THIS IS THE SECTION RELATING TO THIE. THEY CAN SEE IN AN UNEXPIRED TERM, HAVING LESS THAN 12 MONTHS. IF YOU COULD GO TO THE NEXT LIVE THE LAST BECAUSE ONE MORE YES.IN THE ITEM C. THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION ALLOWS FOR CITIES TO HAVE THE CHARTER PROVISIONS THAT WE HAVE. WHICH ALLOWS FOR A VACANT TO BE FILLED IF THE TERM IS LESS THAN 12 MONTHS BEFORE COMPLETION. SO NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS CANVASSED, THE VACANCY IS CREATED, AND THE COUNCIL HAS THEOPHILUS ITY TO FILL THAT VACANCY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TERM, WHICH IS MADE OF 2021. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE CHARTER OR THE STATE LAW. THE CONSTITUTION, WHICH SUCKS ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT IS ENTIRELY UP TO THE COUNCIL. HOWEVER, THE APPOINTEE IF THE COUNCIL CHOOSES TO A POINT AND THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT THAT YOU DO. BUT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE APPOINTEE WOULD BE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO QUALIFY. AS THIE. SAME QUALIFICATIONS IN THE DISTRICT IN THIS CASE, SO THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A, UH. APPOINTEE THAT MET THOSE QUALIFICATIONS THAT WOULD BE A RESIDENT DISTRICT ONE FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR. VOTER REGISTRY VOTED FOR A YEAR RESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT FOR A YEAR. OBVIOUSLY A RESIDENT MCKINNEY FOR YEARS, SO YES. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU WON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. Q TRANSFER.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COMMENT WAS MADE IN PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT POTENTIALLY NOT FILLING THE SEAT AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT SENTIMENT. YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO DISAGREE. I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE FILL THE SEAT. OBVIOUSLY NOT HASTILY, BUT, UM, THAT WE HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM DISTRICT ONE. WE'VE ALWAYS WAY WANT. CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME NARRATIVES HAVE BEEN WAY WANT.INSTRUCTIVE. RESIDENT OF DISTRICT ONE TO REPRESENT DISTRICT ONE AND THEIR VOICES.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ON THIS COUNCIL TO THE CITY, SO I GUESS I JUST LIKE. TO DISCUSSES THAT CONSENSUS UP HERE THAT WE WOULD. NOT AT THIS MOMENT, BUT APPOINT SOMEBODY HERE. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT DISTRICT ONE CONTINUES TO HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THE COUNCIL
[00:10:05]
UNTIL MAY. I DONT BELIEVE IT. WE'RE TAKING UP ANY BUSINESS THAT WOULD AFFECT. DISTRICT ONE MAJORLY TODAY, UH, LOCK TOWN SOME TIME TO CONSIDER PEOPLE TO APPOINT A RATHER THAN DO IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER CERTIFYING THE ELECTION, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE FILLING SEATS FOR I AM REPRESENTING DISTRICT. I AGREE, AND I THINK THE ANOTHER COMMENT WAS MADE, AS WAS ASKED TO CONSIDER. APPOINTING SOMEONE THAT WAS NOT GOINGTO RUN IN MAY AND I I'M GUESSING THAT THE. ASK OF CONSIDERATION WOULD BE TO POTENTIALLY NOT NOT GIVE SOMEBODY A ON UPPERHAND IF YOU WILL. PROBABLY WHAT I'M THINKING, AND I THINK THERE'S SOME SENSE TO THAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD DISCUSSES WELL AS WE MOVE FORWARD. ALSO.NO SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. OUR NEXT MEETING IS DECEMBER 3RD. DECEMBER. 1ST SORRY. IS IT? POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD. COME BETWEEN NOW AND THEN EACH ONE TO THE TO THE DIA SW, UH, PREPARED TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ON WHO THAT WOULD BE? ON DECEMBER ON DECEMBER 1ST SURE, ABSOLUTELY, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME IMPORTANT DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE. WE HAVE COURSE. THE STATUTE DECISION WHICH IS IMPORTANT AND WILL BE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS.
I'M SURE. HEARING ON ITEMS PRETENDING TO DEVELOPMENT AND WHATNOT THAT DEFINITELY IMPACT AND EFFECT DISTRICT ONE SO. IF EVERYONE IS GOOD WITH THAT, I WOULD SUGGEST WE TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL DECEMBER, 1ST. SECOND IF IT'S THE MOST. SO I MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM. GET TO THE DECEMBER 1ST MEETING. ASK YOUR VOTES, PLEASE. I GUESS. PROCESS.
HAUSER IS. WE WOULD COME WITH THE NAME. WOULD OUR WAY WOULD VISIT. FRONT OF EVERYBODY. TALK NAMES, WHATEVER. WE SETTLE ON AN INDIVIDUAL. WE VOTE ON IT. AND MOTION AND PAST FOUR AFFIRMATIVE VOTES. OKAY, SO. WE ASK THAT PERSON TO SHOW UP AT THAT MEETING, TOO. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WAY WE DO IT THAT MEETING OR WOULD WE PROBABLY NEED A WAY. WELL, THE PERSON WHOEVER THAT PERSON MIGHT BE, IF WE STILL HAVE TO BE QUALIFIED, WOULD HAVE TO HAVE. A PERSON PRESENT TO THE CITY SECRETARY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO SHOW TO SHOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN A RESIDENT MCKINNEY IN THE DISTRICT SO THERE COULD BE A LITTLE GAP IN TIME. MAYBE THE COUNCIL WANTED TO CONSIDER THE APPOINTMENT. EARLIER IN THE DAY THAT AFTERNOON, AND THEN THE MEETING AT SIX WE COULD SCHEDULE IT THAT WAY. OKAY SO WE COULD HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A SPECIAL MEETING EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN I THINK. EMPRESS YOU HAVE TWO OR THREE HOURS. MAYBE THAT'D BE SUFFICIENT. IF THE PERSON HAS ALL THAT STUFF.
WHICH BEING THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR RESIDENTS AND VOTE. OKAY WELL, WE CAN WORK TOWARD THAT.
IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DO. AT THAT POINT, THAT PERSON COULD BE SEATED. AFTER 16 A SIX O'CLOCK. MR HAUSER. RIGHT, SO WE WILL MOVE TO. ITEM 201010 CONSIDERED

ULTIMATELY EVERYTHING THAT COMES AFTER THAT UNDER THESE HEADINGS OF OUR AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TAX REFORM, EDUCATION, WORKFORCE, TRANSPORTATION, WATER, ELECTIONS AND TRANSPARENCY.FALLS UNDER THAT HEADING, SO I WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE SOME CONTEXT FOR WHAT THOSE BULLET POINTS ARE. WE DIDN'T MEET WITH THE COUNCIL ON SOME BRIEFING MEETINGS FOR YOU TO HAVE A
[00:15:01]
CHANCE TO DISCUSS THESE ITEMS WITH OUR. TO MUNICIPAL CONSULTANTS OR LOBBYISTS BEING READ MEDIA ANGELA HILL AND FOCUSED ADVOCACY, SO WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO KIND OF GO OVER THESE TOGETHER. REVIEW THEM. WE'VE ALSO SIT ABOUT AND. ADVANCE FOR YOU ALL TO HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE DRAFT. UM. OUR TIMELINE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. SORRY FOR THAT BRIGHT GREEN THERE. SO YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST DATA FILE BILLS. I'LL LET COUNCILMAN FRASER CORRECT ME.BUT I BELIEVE OVER 500 BILLS WERE FILED ON THE FIRST DAY OF DUAL FILING IT COULDN'T WAIT.
IT COULD NOT WAIT. I WOULD ASSUME A COUPLE 100 MORE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW.
TODAY'S OVER 10TH WHERE WE WOULD RECOMMEND YOU ADOPT THESE DRAFT POLICIES THAT ARE PRESENTED BEFORE YOU AND THEN SO ON AND SO FORTH, WILL GET SESSION KICKED OFF ON JANUARY 12TH BETWEEN NOW AND THEN WE'LL MEET WITH SOME OF THE DELEGATION TO GO OVER OUR PRIORITIES, A CITY WHERE THE COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES AS A CITY SO THAT THEY'RE INFORMED OF THAT.

A LIMITED AMOUNT OF ACTION THAT TAKES PLACE E WILL ADOPT A BUDGET MAYBE FOCUS ON A FEW KEY ITEMS, MAYBE SOME RELIEF FROM HURRICANES THAT HAVE HIT IN THE COASTAL AREAS AND MOVE ON. HOW THE ELECTION RESULTS THAT HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF LAST WEEK AND MOVING INTO THIS WEEK HAVE IMPACTED THOSE DECISIONS AND WHO WILL BE IN POSITIONS OF POWER. AS THE SESSION BEGINS, THAT'LL PROBABLY IMPACT. WHAT SHIFTS AND THAT NARRATIVE THAT WE'VE HEARD THIS FAR, SO I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THEY'LL DRAG ON THE SESSION GIVEN. CODE IN THE PANDEMIC AND SOME OTHER ITEMS, BUT I THINK THAT'S CONTINGENT ON ONE WHO FALLS IN SOME LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AND THEN TO WHAT THEY'RE OPERATIONAL. PLAN WILL BE FOR THE OPERATIONS OF THE CAPITAL TAKING PLACE IN A PANDEMIC SETTING. QUICK QUESTION. KAREN AND I HAVE NOT LOOKED OTHERWISE. I SHOULD KNOW THIS S ARE THERE ANY RACES FOR STATE HOUSE OR SENATE THAT ARE UNRESOLVED AT THIS TIME. UH NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF IN OUR GENERAL DELEGATION.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 22 ACRES IN SIZE, AND IT'S LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF STACY ROAD AND RIDGE ROAD. SO THE EXISTING ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PT AND IT ALLOWS FOR A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL AND NON RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE PROPERTY. HOWEVER, THE EXISTING ZONING DOES HAVE A TIED DOWN LAY OUT TO IT. THE AFRICAN HAS PROPOSED TO REZONE THE PROPERTY WITH A P D WITH A BASE OF SEA, TOO, WHICH IS OUR MID LEVEL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT, PREDOMINANTLY TO REMOVE THAT TIED DOWN LAYOUT. HOWEVER, THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING TO MAINTAIN WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER A SPINE ROAD THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY TO HELP ENSURE THAT THAT CONTINUATION OF THE ROAD THAT IS JUST TO THE NORTH AS YOU CAN SEE HER IN THIS EXHIBIT. IS MAINTAINED AS PART OF THE REZONING REQUEST. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUESTING THE ALLOWANCE OF ONE CAR WASH LOCATED ON THE FAR EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY FROM PT PLAN DEVELOPING DISTRICT IN OUR REGION EMPLOYMENT CENTER OVERLAY DISTRICT TO PT PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GENERALLY TO MODIFY THE USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ANTAL PARKWAY AND MY SCOFF AVENUE IN ACCOMPANYING ORDNANCE. JENNIFER HOW ARE YOU? GOOD HOW ARE YOU? THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. COUNCIL AS YOU READ, THIS ITEM IS TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY APPROXIMATELY 62 ACRES INSIDE.THE REZONING REQUEST IS FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A LOT OF PIECES TO IT. SO I DID WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND WALK THROUGH THOSE WITH YOU. YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THIS TRACT IS SORT OF DESIGNATED AS THIS CRAIG RANCH CORPORATE CENTER. THERE IS A COMPANION ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AFTER THIS RELATED TO SOME DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE AWESOME ON THE PROPERTY. SO DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT ANY ACTION THAT'S TAKEN ON THE ZONING TONIGHT ARE THIS AFTERNOON, I SUPPOSE, WOULD NOT IMPACT THOSE DEED RESTRICTIONS. YOU WILL NEED TO CONSIDER THOSE SEPARATELY. SO WITH THAT I'LL JUMP INTO THE DETAILS OF THE REZONING REQUEST.
THE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY A MIXTURE OF A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, ALL GENERALLY TO ALLOW FOR OFFICE DEVELOPMENT. WITH THE REZONING PROPOSED. THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE LEVEL OF OFFICE ON THE OVERALL TRACKS.
HOWEVER, THEY'D LIKE TO REDISTRIBUTE IT A LITTLE BIT TO ALLOW FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF SOME RESIDENTS WHO USES ON THE NORTHERN SIDES. SO WITH THE RESIGNING REQUEST TO SEE IF I CAN THROUGH THESE PHOTOS HERE. BUT THAT'S THE SORT OF MIRAGE OF EXISTING ZONING IS ON THE PROPERTY. WITH THE REZONING REQUEST, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TIO DIVIDE THE PROPERTY INTO I BELIEVE THAT IS. SEVEN TRUCKS, TRACKS F G AND E, WHICH YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE IN THAT PURPLE BLUE COLOR WOULD MAINTAIN OFFICE USES. THEY WOULD ALSO BE MAINTAINING A MINIMUM LEVEL OF SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR EACH TRACK. IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. BUT BY AND LARGE THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 60,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM TO 100,000 SQUARE FEET MINIMUM WHERE YOU SEE ON TRACKED A. THEY'RE IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING FOR TO ALLOW FOR SOME SMALL LEVEL RETAIL OR POSSIBLY OFFICE ON ATTRACT. IN TRACT B AND C. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO ALLOW FOR MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES. AND THEN ON TRACKED D. THEY'RE PROPOSING TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES. THIE AFRICAN HAS WORKED WITH STAFF TO ALSO CREATE THIS INTRODUCTION OF A LINEAR PARK. WHICH IS THAT GREEN LINE THAT YOU SEE THROUGH THAT REGULATING PLAN IS ABOUT, UM. TWO ACRES AND SIZE. APOLOGIZE THAT MY MIND THERE. IT'S ABOUT TWO ACRES IN SIZE, AND IT IS TIED DOWN AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE ZONING. SO WE'VE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT. WE APPRECIATE THE SORT OF REALLOCATION OF REDISTRIBUTION OF THE OFFICE USES. WE DO FEEL LIKE IT MAINTAINS THE ORIGINAL VISION FOR THE ZONING THAT WERE ON THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR THE GROWTH AND REALIZATION OF SIGNIFICANT OFFICE DEVELOPMENT. WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT THE INTRODUCTION OF THE RESIDENTIAL
[00:30:05]
USES CAN HELP TO CREATE A BIT OF A BUFFER BETWEEN THOSE OFFICE USES, AND IT IS ALSO A SORT OF MIXED USE CONCEPT WHICH WE ALL KNOW KHUN B. VERY SUCCESSFUL IN AN ENVIRONMENT SUCH LIKE SUCH AS THIS. SO WITH THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ZONING ITEM. WE DID PRESENT IT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THEY HAVE ALSO OFFERED A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OCEANS FOR JENNIFER. OF THE AFRICAN HERE. I BELIEVE THE CAPTAIN IS HERE. COULD I GET THE SLIDE? IT HAS THE SEVEN THAT'S PERFECT. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL AND BOB ROAD OR 1700, RED, BUT WHEN I'M THERE, MCKINNEY, TEXAS I'M WORKING REMOTE MOST OF TIME NOW SO YOU CAN'T FIND ME. YOU'RE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANTS. YOU'VE GOT A VERY DETAILED STAFF REPORT. I KNOW EACH OF YOU HAVE READ IT, AND THERE WERE A LOT OF EXHIBITS IN IT. AND I THINK JENNIFER HAS MADE A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. I WANT TO JUST. IN LARGE DIVISION A LITTLE BIT TO PUT IT IN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CONTEXT. THE 60. PLUS ACRES THAT YOU SEE UP HERE IS JUST A PORTION OF 135 ACRES THAT COMPRISES THE CRIME BRANCH CORPORATE PARK. AND SO WE'RE DEALING IN THIS ZONE IN CASE WITH JUST THE 65 ACRES THAT YOU SEE, THERE WERE REALLY NOT DEALING WITH THE BALANCE OF THE.CORPORATE PARK, WHICH IS ON THE WEST AND THE SOUTH OF THIS PROPERTY. IT'S JENNIFER MENTIONED ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT, AS WE IDENTIFIED. THIS PARTICULAR SET OF TRACKS IS. TODAY WE HAVE THE ZONING CHANGE OR THE LAND USE CHANGE ON VAN TYL PARKWAY.
WHICH VAN TYL PARKWAYS YOU ALL KNOW IS A FAIRLY NARROW IT'S AN URBAN DESIGN STREET. AND WE FELT LIKE THAT FROM A PLANNING. THIS IS BOB SPEAKING. OK FROM A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, IT'S BETTER TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION FROM. URBAN RESIDENTIAL THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ANTI ILL.
IT'S BETTER TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION NOT ON VAN TYL ITSELF, BUT ONE BLOCK SOUTH OF AN ENTIRE ONE. YOU SOUTH OF ANTI ALSO THAT YOU'RE RETAINING THAT URBAN CORE. LOOK, UH ALONG VAN TYL. ANOTHER THING I WANT TO IMPRESS UPON YOU IS THAT. ALL OF THESE TRACKS A, B, C AND D AS WELL AS DFMGI. I'LL HAVE A BASE ZONING OF OFFICE. SO IF OFFICE JUST BLOWS IT OUT THERE.
WE CAN BUILD OFFICE UP THERE IN THOSE OTHER FOUR TRACKS, BUT. BUT ALLOWING US TO PUT SOME RAZOR I THINK IS A BETTER EDGE. FOR THE URBAN. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO CREATE SOME.
OPPORTUNITIES. TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS ENTIRE AREA. IS JENNIFER MENTIONED THE NEXT ITEM THAT YOU'LL SEE IS A SET OF REVISIONS TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THIS SON IN CASE AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THOSE DEED RESTRICTIONS IS.
WE WILL HAVE NOW REQUIRED THE SAME MINIMUM NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE THROUGHOUT THE TRACT. WE'VE JUST REDISTRIBUTED IT BY INCREASING THE MINIMUMS IN SOME OF THE SOUTHERN MORE TRACKS SOUTHERN. MOST RELATED TRACKS WHERE WE WOULD EXPECT 120,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDINGS TO BE RATHER THAN UP THEIR OWN VAN TYL, SO THAT EFFECT FROM AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ORIGINAL CORPORATE PERSPECTIVE STANDPOINT. I THINK WE'RE IN THE SAME PLACE. THIS LOOKS AND FEELS A LITTLE BIT BETTER TO ME LIKE A BETTER TRANSITION AREA AND GIVES US SOME OPPORTUNITY TO ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA. I'LL STOP THERE AND TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. WOULD REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. BUT LET'S MAKE IT COMMENT. I KNOW THAT WHEN? WHEN. WE MET THE SIMON. I THINK MAYBE SOME OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS MET AT ONE TIME. WE MET WITH THE DEVELOPERS IN THE PLANT AT THAT TIME. AND IN ALL OFTHIS WAS GOING TO BE. SINGLE STORY, POTENTIALLY TWO STORY SPREAD OUT, GARDEN STYLE OFFICE. OF THE FACT THAT. NOW, THE DESIRE AND THE AND THE VISIONS TO GO TALLER AND REALLY CARRIER CORPORATE CENTER. FROM. 1 21 BACK TO THE SOUTH IN A WAY THAT. IS BORN, KEEPING WITH WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE A CORPORATE CENTER LOOKED LIKE SO I UNDERSTAND THE CHANGE. I APPRECIATE THAT.
CHANGE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. WE HAVE A COMMON QUESTION FOR APPLICANT JUST HAD ONE
[00:35:04]
OTHER THINGS. WE'VE ALLOWED ME TO TRACK DAY REALLY IS SORT OF AH, UNIQUE. ANIMAL UP THERE.IT'S ADJACENT TO THE SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH AND ONE OF THE. SOME OF THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM THE RESIDENTS OF THAT AREA WAS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE PAN TILE IN TRACKED THE. IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNDER OUR ZONING REGULATIONS, WE'VE LIMITED THE HYPE OF AN OFFICE BUILDING IN THAT TRACKED TO TWO STORIES, SO THAT TRACK THE USES ON THAT TRACK. ONLY BE ABLE TO BE. A CONTINUATION OF SAME TYPE OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE TO THE NORTH OR A TWO STOREY OFFICE BUILDING. TOWNHOMES MULTI FAMILY ARE NOT ALLOWED IN TRACK. D. THANK YOU, BOB. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEN NONE ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON MY COMMOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THE SITE OF HER STAFF. THESE CASH FOR VOTES. MOTION PASSES. NEXT ITEM. 2001014 CONSIDERED ACT ON

WELL WITH MISS ARNOLD'S PRESENTATION AND MR ROEDER'S PRESENTATION, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S MUCH ELSE FOR ME TO SAY THEY ARE INDEPENDENT. I ITEMS SO I WILL WALK THROUGH BRIEFLY THAT CORRECT BRANCH CORPORATE CENTER DEED RESTRICTION MODIFICATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. SINCE EARLY OCTOBER. SO IF YOU WILL, THE 135 ACRES THAT WAS REFERENCED EARLIER. THIS IS THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT IS A COMPASS IN THE 135 ACRES. WEI ARE PLANNING TO MODIFY THOSE BOUNDARIES SLIGHTLY SO YOU'LL HEAR QUITE A BIT OF REFERENCE TO TRACKS A B C AND D YOU SAW THIS GRAPHIC IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION. JUST WANT EXCITED AGAIN. PLEASE NOTE B AND C PREDOMINANTLY MULTI FAMILY TRACKS AND THEN THE LINEAR PARK THAT TWO ACRES THAT MISS ARNOLD REFERENCED IN HER PRESENTATION. WORTH NOTING TRACKS A ND WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE DEED RESTRICTIONS. I'LL GET TO THAT HERE IN A SECOND. SO THIS IS THERE'S TWO SETS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT WILL BE PROPOSING IS PART OF THIS ITEM. THERE ARE REVISIONS TO THE EXISTING DEED RESTRICTIONS. AND THEN THERE ARE NEW DEED RESTRICTIONS. I'LL TRY AND MAKE THIS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR, BUT I UNDERSTAND IT MIGHT GET A LITTLE BIT MUDDY. SO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SO PLEASE NOTE THAT TRACKS A B, C AND D FROM THE PREVIOUS GRAPHIC ARE REMOVED FROM THIS BOUNDARY. THIS REPRESENTS THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING DEED RESTRICTIONS. SO THE MODIFICATIONS OF NOTE ALL THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY APPLICABLE TO THE 135 ACRES STILL APPLIES TO THIS PROPERTY WITH A FEW MODIFICATIONS. AS I MENTIONED TRACKS, ABC AND YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THESE DEED RESTRICTIONS. ON THEN WE'RE ESTABLISHING THREE ZONES. ALL I'VE GOT A GRAPHIC RIGHT AFTER THIS LIE TO SHOW WHERE THOSE ZONES ARE, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING ZONE ONE HAS A MINIMUM 60,000 SQUARE FOOT. BUILDING SIZE THAT IS EXISTING IN THE CURRENT DEED RESTRICTIONS, BUT NOW THAT SIZE MINIMUM SIZE REQUIREMENT ON LEE APPLIES TO TRACKS IN ZONE ONE ZONE TOO. YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS. YOU CAN DO A MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 90,000 SQUARE FOOT OR. YOU IF YOU'RE ON HENNEMAN WAY YOU'LL HAVE A MINIMUM BUILDING SIZE OF 100,000 SQUARE FOOT, A MINIMUM FOUR STORY BUILDING HIGH AS WELL AS A REQUIREMENT FOR 80% OF THE STRUCTURED PARKING OR 80% OF THE REQUIRED PARKING TO BE STRUCTURED. ON THEN, LASTLY IN ZONE THREE, YOU'LL HAVE A MINIMUM 120,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM OFFICE BUILDING SIZE AND THEN REQUIRED 80% OF THE PARKING WILL BE STRUCTURED. ON THAT STRUCTURED IS SUB GRADE OR IN A VERTICAL PARKING STRUCTURE. SO I DID WANT TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT. SO THESE ARE THE ZONES YOU CAN SEE ZONE TO IS RIGHT THERE ON HANNEMAN. THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL HAVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THAT 100,000 SQUARE FOOT. THE FOUR STORY BUILDING HIGH AND THE 80% STRUCTURED PARKING ZONE THREE, YOU'LL NOTE IS THE 120,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM. SIZE AREA AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE. ZONE ONE IS STILL THAT 60,000 SQUARE FOOT, WHICH EXISTS IN THE CURRENT DEED RESTRICTIONS TODAY. SO THE NEW DEED RESEARCH SO THAT WAS THE REVISED DEED RESTRICTIONS WITH TRACKS A, B, C AND D TAKEN OUT THE REVISED DEED RESTRICTION OR THE NEW[00:40:01]
DEAN RESTRICTIONS. I APOLOGIZE. ONLY APPLIED TO TRACKS B AND C. THOSE AIR THE TRACKS THAT YOU SEE ABOVE THESE AIR, THE MULTI FAMILY TRACKS THAT WERE INTRODUCING MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES OF NOTE IN THESE TRACKS ARE MOHR CRITERIA AS TO WHEN THE MULTI FAMILY CAN BE CONSTRUCTED. SO THERE ARE TWO MAIN COMPONENTS IN THESE DEED RESTRICTIONS, THE FIRST BEING THAT NO BUILDING PERMITS FOR ANY MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL AT LEAST 120,000 SQUARE FOOT OF. OFFICE BUILDINGS HAVE RECEIVED SITE PLAN APPROVAL SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CORPORATE CENTER, SO NOT JUST IN TRACT BEING C BECAUSE WE'RE FOCUSING ON PREDOMINANTLY MULTI FAMILY. IT'S ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CORPORATE CENTER.IF THAT 120,000 SQUARE FOOT HAS BEEN SITE PLANNED, THEY'RE GOOD TO GO FORWARD WITH BUILDING PERMITS, AND THEN YOU CAN'T GET ANY MULTI FAMILY UNITS CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. UNTIL BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THAT 120,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE ANYWHERE IN THE CORPORATE CENTER AND THE LINEAR PARK THAT TWO ACRES THAT MISS ARNOLD REFERENCED IN HER PRESENTATION UNTIL THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND ACCEPTED BY THE CITY AND AGAIN, JUST A QUICK GRAPHIC TO SHOW WHERE TRACKS B AND C ARE ON WHERE THAT LINEAR PARK IS. SO. THAT SENATE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM, GIVEN THE COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF THE PREVIOUS REZONING REQUEST, AND I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. QUESTIONS.
ONE MORE COMMENT. OF THE OWNERSHIP OF ALL OF THE LATTES THAT MR QUINN TO SPOKE OF HAVE SIGNED THOSE RESTRICTIONS AND I HAVE THOSE IN MY POSSESSION. SO IF THIS IS APPROVED, WE HAVE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE OWNERSHIP. WHICH WAS A LOT OF WORK. I COMMAND MR CRAIG. MR ROEDER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WAS MAKE ANOTHER STATEMENT APPRECIATE ALSO THE RETAIL THAT'S MAINTAINED IN THAT UPPER. NORTHWEST QUARTER IN WHICH FROM THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HIS CHAOTIC ONE OR TO A HOTEL. ON THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE RELATIVELY SOON, SO. SO GO TOE TO TOE SLIGHT, TOO. SEE THAT LITTLE SHAPE AND YOU HAVE IT RIGHT? YES. THE ONE THAT'S NOT IN RED THERE, THAT LITTLE ISLAND IS IT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY GOT AN EXISTING STRUCTURE ON IT. ABSOLUTELY IT ACTUALLY THIS IS STUFF THAT IS, THERE'S NOTHING BUILT ON. A RED. WELL, THAT'S NOT EXACTLY TRUE. SO THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL FACILITY IS ACTUALLY BUILT RIGHT HERE. AND THE REASON THAT THIS TRACT HAS REMOVED IS BECAUSE IT PREDATED THE CORRECT RANGE CORPORATE CENTER. THERE'S A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING IN AN OPEN SPACE THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE CORPORATE CENTER WAS CREATED. AND SO THAT'S WHY IT WAS LEFT OUT. KHUN SOMETHING STILL BE BUILT ON THE OPEN SPACE. THEORETICALLY I COULD I'M GONNA DEFER TO MR CRAIG. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S PART OF THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CRAIG RANCH OVERALL, BUT I'M GOING TO DEFER TO MR CRAIG. IS THAT ACCURATE? YEAH. YET. SO THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS I THINK I KNOW IT'LL BE IT'LL BE OPEN SPACE FOR A WHILE. THANK YOU.
RIGHT IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS. PERTAIN EMOTION. APPROVED. CIRCUIT. IS CASTRO VOTES. OCEAN PASSES. ITEM 200046. ESPY CONSIDERED ACT ON THE SITE PLAN FOR OUR OFFICE
[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Site Plan for an Office / Warehouse Development, Located on the Southwest Corner of Hardin Boulevard and McKinney Ranch Parkway]
WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT LOCATE ON SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HARDENED BOULEVARD IN MCKINNEY RANCH PARKWAY. IN FRONT OF. SO THE ADAMI HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. THISA AFTERNOON IS FOR A SITE PLAN. I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT A TYPICALLY SITE PLANS CAN BE APPROVED AT THE STAFF LEVEL.HOWEVER, THE PROVISIONS OF THE GOVERNING ZONING ON THIS PROPERTY DO REQUIRE ACTION BY THE COUNCIL. WHICH IS WHY IT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. AS YOU READ. THIS IS FOR A PROPERTY OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HARDENED BOULEVARD AND MAKE ANY RANCH PARKWAY. THE TRACT IS ABOUT 40 ACRES IN SIZE IN THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP ABOUT 383,000 SQUARE FEET. OF WAREHOUSE AND SOME OFFICE ON THE TRACT. AT THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE WOULD BE COMPRISED OF FOUR BUILDINGS RANGING IN SIZE FROM ABOUT 70,000 SQUARE FEET TO 115,000 SQUARE FEET ROUGHLY.
ROOMS IF I CAN'T. I HAVE THE SITE PLAN APPEAR. INTENTLY. I DO NOT APOLOGIZE. WE THOUGHT
[00:45:10]
THIS WAS GONNA BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, BUT WITH SPECIAL MEANING. WE DON'T HAVE CONSENT, SO THE SITE PLAN IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET. I APOLOGIZE THAT I DON'T HAVE IT HERE ON THE SCREEN. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO PULL THAT UP OR NOT, BUT THE SITE PLANE DOES CONFORM TO ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE GOVERNING ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED IT. THE AFRICAN IS NOT SEEKING ANY VARIANCES OR WAIVER REQUESTS, AND THEREFORE WE ARE OFFERING A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL.I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS ON THE LINE. THEY'RE NOT HERE IN PERSON TONIGHT. UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM NEVER QUESTION THANK YOU. YES, SIR. IT'S COMING BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING IN COUNCIL BEFORE ON THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. SO ABOUT ABOUT A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, WE STAFF DID BRING SOME SIGHTS TO THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE REZONING, BUT WE CONSIDERED A COOPERATIVE REZONING. THES WERE TRACKS THAT HAVE RETAINED. INDUSTRIAL ZONING ENTITLEMENTS FROM INTO THE EIGHTIES AND EARLY NINETIES. ANDI WE TALKED ABOUT THE IDEA OF TRYING TO DO A COOPERATIVE REZONE. WE DID EXPLORE THAT EFFORT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER'S ULTIMATELY. THEY WERE ABLE TO SECURE A DEVELOPER WHO WAS ABLE TO DEVELOP UNDER THE CURRENT ENTITLEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY, AND THAT'S THEIR DESIRE AT THIS POINT IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT.
SO THIS KIND OF WORDS ALL THE NEIGHBOURS WHO WERE SO UPSET ABOUT THIS PROJECT YET AND AS A SITE PLAN. THIS IS NOT REALLY SEEN AS A DISCRETIONARY ITEM AT THE END OF THE DAY. WHAT WE'RE EVALUATING IS DOESN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, AND IF IT DOES, WE DO HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF IT. THINK THE CITIZENS WE'RE GOING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH US RATHER THAN YOU ARE. THEY GO, BUT LIKE YOU SAY, I MEAN, THEY HAVE A HABIT BY RIGHT SO THAT THERE'S NOTHING NEW HERE. THERE'S NOTHING WHEN. WHEN WAS THAT ZONING APPROVED? I BELIEVE IT WAS IN 1985 I MAYBE AFTER A FEW YEARS ON THE DATE, BUT IT WAS SO ANYBODY WHO'S PROBABLY LIVING CLOSE TO THAT. THAT NOTHING WAS CHANGED AND SAY, PROBABLY ABOUT THAT HOUSE AND THEY BOUGHT IT BEFORE. 1985 CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT. I MEAN, HERE A HOMEOWNER NEEDS TO DO DUE DILIGENCE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT COULD BE BUILT ON UNIMPROVED PROPERTY NEXT TO HIM. AND WHAT'S GETTING BUILT WAS APPROVED PRIOR TO THEM MOVING IN. I THINK THAT'S THE. JUST THIS DISCRETIONARY AND ACTION ON THE CITY SIDE IS VERY LIMITED AT THAT POINT, EXACTLY. SO THANK YOU WITH THE SITE PLAN THAT THEY ORIGINALLY HAD.
WOULDN'T IT DIFFERENT THAN THIS ONE? I HONESTLY DON'T RECALL IT. IT'S VERY SIMILAR. THERE MAY BE DOING THE OTHER ONE HAD DOORS, I THINK FACING THE RESIDENTIAL THINK THAT'S CHANGED IT. YEAH, AND I APOLOGIZE. I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THAT AND QUITE SOME TIME SO THEY MAY HAVE REORIENTED THE BUILDINGS. BUT THE GENERAL LAYOUT OF THE BUILDINGS IS THE SAME. WHETHER YOU'RE KEEPING THE TRUCK TRAFFIC. YOU'RE KEEPING THE TRUCK TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE RESIDENCE, WHICH I HAVE. UNEMPLOYED ABSOLUTELY SO THE BAY DOORS OR ARE ORIENTED AND WE'RE SO THAT THE OFFICE FRONT WILL BE ON THE STREET SIDES A CZ MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
QUICK QUESTION. HOW MANY TRUCKS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? GOING THROUGH THE ROADS THROUGH HERE ARE MADE ORDINARY ARTERIES GOING, TOBY HARDEN, CORRECT HARDEN AND YES, WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF TRUCK. I'LL DEFER THAT TO THE APPLICANT, THEY COULD SPEAK MORE TO THAT, BASED ON THEIR PLANNING EFFORTS, DO WE GET A LARGER IMPACT FEE OUT OF THAT USE SO IMPACT FEES FOR THIS YEAR'S THEY'RE GOING TO BE BASED ON THE SIZE SO DEPENDENT ON THE SIZE. THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD GET. IT'S NOT BASED ON THE TRUCK TRUCK TRAFFIC, IT'S GOING TO BE BASED ON THAT SQUARE FO I CERTAINLY HATE FOR ALL FOLKS WHO COME HERE FOR DIFFERENT FOOTBALL GAMES TO BE DRIVING ON A BEAT UP ROAD BECAUSE WE HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ACROSS FROM AROUND SCHOOL. FOOTBALL STAY WAY ARE IN TEXAS, YOU KNOW. I WILL UTILIZE A LITTLE BIT. SO THE APC IN IS ON THE LINE ON DH. I THINK THE QUESTION FOR CAPTAIN CAN YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF? YES, THIS IS MORE WITH EACH GROUP PROPERTIES. SO THE QUESTION EVERYBODY HERE MAY YEAH WE SURE CAN'T JUST DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD THE QUESTION. BUT THE QUESTION WAS. IS THERE AN IDEA THAT THE VOLUME OF TRUCK TRAFFIC. THAT'S HARD TO DISCERN. THE PHILLIES ARE BEING BUILT ON A SPECULATIVE BASIS WITHOUT ANY EXISTING TENANT BASE. BUT THE DESIGNS THAT WE ENVISION OUR FOR USERS WITH HIGHER OFFICE PERCENTAGE. WILL PREDOMINANTLY BE FOCUSED ON ON
[00:50:07]
BUILDING TO HAVE A HIGHER IMAGE WITH A LOT MORE GLASS. LEFT OF THE WAREHOUSE NEEDS. OUR TYPICAL USERS. DESPITE IT BEING AN INDUSTRIAL USE OR LESS HAPPY ON THE TRUCK, TRAFFIC, ATM OR YOUR TYPICAL BULK, LARGER WAREHOUSE. CAN YOU TELL US? WHAT KIND OF EFFORT YOU MADE, TEO? RUN THIS PLAN BY THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTLY TO YOUR WEST. WE'VE MET ALL THE CONDITIONS OF THE CURRENT ZONING AND PETEY DIDN'T ASK, WHICH INCLUDES THE 200 FT BUFFER, VARIOUS LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND WHATNOT AND THEREFORE DID NOT MEET WITH WITH THE NEIGHBORS. THANK YOU. MAJOR MADE OUR MAN THAT MADE IT EASY FOR US. FOR ME. IT MADE IT EASY FOR ME WITH THAT ANSWER. I WOULD ONLY SAY THAT REMEMBER THIS IS ALREADY HAVE THIS BY RIGHT I GET IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE SIDE. I'LL MOVE TO PROOF. 11 2ND. SECOND. THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OCEAN PASSES. NEXT ITEM. IS CITIZEN COMMENTS REGARDING MATTERS ON THE AGENDA[CITIZEN COMMENTS Regarding Matters Not on the Agenda]
AND NOBODY HAS SPILLED OUT OF CARD. IS THAT CORRECT? WAIT, OKAY. I DON'T SHOW THEM. NOT SHOWING UP. GREG. ONE OF THIS YES, YOU DID. GREG. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE IT? I THINK YOU GONNA SPEAK FIRST ON THE SECOND ONE? OKAY, SO THE FIRST ISSUE I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO IS ABOUT COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS. AND TO GIVE YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. I HAD A MEETING WITH THE CITY ON 9 22 TO TALK ABOUT INCONSISTENCIES WITH INSPECTIONS. WHICH I THOUGHT WENT VERY WELL. WE DIDN'T HAVE AN INSPECTION THAT FAILED BECAUSE OF A NEW INSPECTOR. WHO I THOUGHT HAD WANTS. AND SO I HAD A FOLLOW UP MEETING WHICH I THOUGHT IT WENT VERY WELL AGAIN WITH THE CITY ON 10 28. BUT WHEN ASKED A QUESTION, WHICH IS GENERALLY MY BIGGEST CONCERN HERE, AS WAS THAT INSPECTOR CORRECT AND FAILING US OR NOT. IT WAS MET WITH SEVERAL PIECES OF CODE WITHOUT A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. SO WHEN MY INSPECTOR WHEN MY ELECTRICIAN'S CALLED THE CITY. WE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE LEAD INSPECTOR ON THAT PROJECT. WE ALSO I MEAN, WITHOUT SHARING ANY OF THE EMAIL DATA REALLY WITH YOU JUST KIND OF KNOW THAT IT WAS MET WITH SIRI'S OF CODE THAT MY ELECTRICIAN'S THEN. HAD TO DECIPHER AGAIN, WHICH CAME OUT TO IT'S NOT A VIOLATION. MY ASKING THE COUNCIL IS THAT YOU LOOK INTO THE PROCESS AND FIND SOME WAY THAT WE CAN GET DEFINITIVE ANSWERS WHEN CODE QUESTIONS COME UP. SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY AS BUSINESS OWNERS WHERE WE SIT AND HOW TO MOVE FORWARD VS. A LOT OF YES WORK ON OUR BEHALF AND COST THAT IS UNREAL. MY ISSUE. GREAT. YOU HAVE ANOTHER CARD.YOU LIKE TO GO AHEAD NOW? YES. SO AS THIS RELATES TO A LOCAL BUSINESS RESTAURANT DOWN IN KIDNEY SQUARE. WE MET WITH THE CITY LAST WEEK ABOUT THE ABILITY TO DO. ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE DINING TO HELP SMALLER RESTAURANTS THAT EVEN THOUGH I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE THAT RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY TEXAS IS AT 75% OCCUPANCY. MOST RESTAURANTS ARE BUILT ON A 3 FT RULE. WHICH SAYS THAT THERE'S 3 FT BETWEEN TABLE THE TABLE SO NOBODY'S REALLY ABLE TO GET TO 75% IT'S A GREAT TALKING POINT, BUT MOST PLACES ARE STUCK AROUND 60. SO THIS PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL BE SPEAKING TO YOU GUYS LATER WENT TO THE CITY AND WENT TO THE MCKINNEY RESTAURANT COUNSEL, AND WE THEN WENT TO THE CITY AND ASK THE QUESTION. DURING THAT MEETING.
I ASKED THE CITY IS THERE ANY CURRENT. PERMITS ARE SITUATION, OUR STATUSES THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO THEN MOVE FORWARD. THAT ANSWER WAS MET WITH NOT REALLY. AND NO, UM, I SIMPLY GOOGLE THE
[00:55:08]
THING THAT CAME UP, WHICH WAS ONE OF THOSE ONE OF THE RESTAURANT, ONE OF THE ACTUAL CITY REPRESENTATIVES. MENTIONED PARK LIPS AND THAT THEY WERE WILLING WILL WORKING ON PARK.LET'S THEN MIXED UP WITH THE FACT THAT CITY HAS A CITY HAS A RESTAURANT LEAST PROGRAM FOR SIDEWALKS. SO IF YOU GOOGLE PARK LIT IT, SAYS PARK, ELIZA SIDEWALK EXTENSION THAT PROVIDES MORE SPACE AND AMENITIES FOR PEOPLE USING THE STREET USUALLY PARK LET'S ARE INSTALLED ON PARKING LANES AND USED PARKING SPACES. MARK WAS TYPICALLY EXTEND FROM THE SIDEWALK AT THE SAME LEVEL AND ARE WITHIN THE ADJACENT PARKING SPACES. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU GUYS IS IF THE CITY CURRENTLY HAS A SIDEWALK POLICE PROGRAM FOR $10 IN THESE ONE OF THESE DOWNTOWN RESTAURANTS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THAT. WHY COULDN'T UNDER A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT? COULD THEY NOT EXTEND OUT INTO THE PARKING SPACES? UNDER JUST THE DEFINITION THAT'S IN COMMON USE FOR WIKIPEDIA. YOU IN MY TIME, BUT THANK YOU. POOR MILES. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR LETTING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS OF THIS AFTERNOON WE BUILT OUR HOME OUT IN SOME WEIRD RANCH 27 YEARS AGO, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I FELT COMPELLED TO COME SPEAK. WE USED TO GO THIS MONTH. MY WIFE AND I STARTED UP A BUSINESS. THAT'S OBJECTIVE WAS TO HIGHLIGHT MCKINNEY'S DOWNTOWN SQUARE IN A UNIQUE WAY, BRINGING IN. BOZEMAN AND MCKINNEY CITIZENS AS WELL AS VISITORS OVER THREE THESE SHORT THREE YEARS WE PARTNERED WITH OVER 28 RESTAURANTS AND RETAILERS HERE JUST OFF THE SQUARE. OUR BUSINESS HAS LED TO HEAVY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL REALIZED ONE OF THE BEST AND STRONGEST CHAMBERS IN THE NATION. AS A MCKINNEY BUSINESS. I WILL SHARE THE CHAMBER SUPPORT PRICK OVER IT WAS EXCELLENT DURING COVE IT AND THROUGH TO TODAY, THE SUPPORT HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL. IT'S PART OF THE CHAMBER WAS ASKED TO PARTICIPATE ON THE RESTAURANT COUNSEL. THIS GROUP WAS CREATED TO HELP RESTAURANTS OPEN UP AND OPERATE IN A SAFE MANNER FOR BOTH EMPLOYEES AND STAFF AS WELL AS CUSTOMERS.
SOME OF THAT WORK HAS ME SPEAKING FIRST, THE PROBLEM ON THE MACRO SCALE. WORKFORCE THAT MAKE ON A U. S BASE IS 10% OF THEIR OF THE EMPLOYMENT BASE COMES FROM RESTAURANTS ON A MICRO LEVEL IN DOWNTOWN SQUARE. THAT PERCENTAGE IS ABOUT 60. RECO VER. THE STATISTIC REFLECTED THREE AND 10 RESTAURANT TOURIST, CITING STAFFING IS A PRIMARY CHALLENGE TO THEIR BUSINESS. TODAY, YOU WILL FIND THAT NUMBER TO BE ABOUT 90% OF THE RESTAURANTS.
FACING THOSE CHALLENGES. WHAT'S HAPPENING, HAS JUST SPOKEN TO GOES BACK TO. ABOUT 75% CAPACITY. THE 3 FT REQUIREMENT BETWEEN THE TABLES BETWEEN PARTIES HAS IT OPERATING AT 50% IMPACTS OF SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT. A SMALL BUSINESS AND ITS FINANCES BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE I EMPLOY LESS TABLES EQUALS LESS CUSTOMERS WITH LESS TIPS AND THEN ON TO SEVERE STAFFING ISSUES, SPECIFICALLY HIRING AND RETENTION. A SOLUTION. THE RESTAURANT COUNCIL'S DISCUSSED IT'S AN EASY TEMPORARY RELIEF WOULD BE DONE BY EX TECHNICS SEEDING UNDER THE SIDEWALK AND INTO THE PARKING SPOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF SPECIFIC. AREAS OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA AS WE WORKED WITH MCKINNEY MAIN STREET IN THE CITY'S COMPLIANCE OFFICE, THE THOUGHT IS THAT THIS COULD BE DONE WITHOUT AN ORDINANCE. ON A PERSONAL NOTE. I'LL LET YOU KNOW. I JUST HAD MY 32 HERE ANNIVERSARY. LAST MONTH, AND WE WENT DOWN TO GO ON LAKE GRANBURY, AND THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL OLD CITY SQUARE DOWN THERE, BUT I COULD TELL YOU THAT IT DOES NOT COMPARE AT ALL WITH WHAT WE HAVE HERE. MCKINNEY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES US SPECIAL AND DRIES THE TRAFFIC THAT WE SEE THE INJURIES THAT WE SEE IS A RESTAURANTS, RESTAURANTS OR WHAT STARTED THE RESURRECTION. WHEN I MOVED HERE 27 YEARS AGO, WE HAD THREE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN. MOST OF THE BUILDINGS WERE BOARDED. I'M SO I BESEECH THEE IF YOU HEAR IT BUBBLED UP, PLEASE LOOK FAVORABLY ON THAT REQUEST. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. RUTH THOMPSON. HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. UH, RICH THOMPSON WITH HUGS CAFE AT 2 24, EAST VIRGINIA. UM ALSO SPEAKING ABOUT RESTAURANTS, WAY FIRST WANT TO THANK THE CHAMBER FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN US AS RESTAURATEURS. IN DEVELOPING THE BIKINI RESTAURANT COUNSEL. WE MEET AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH AND REALLY DISCUSS OUR CHALLENGES, AND OUR CHALLENGES ARE. 75% WE COULD ONLY GET AT HUGS. WE COULD ONLY GET ABOUT 40% OF PEOPLE IN OUR RESTAURANT. PEOPLE COME FROM
[01:00:02]
ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES TO HUGS CAFE. UM, AND NOW THEY CAN'T EVEN GET IN. WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO A PARK LIT. I KNOW THAT OUR LANDLORD WOULD SUPPORT THAT, UM AND FOR US. THE UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IS HUGE. ACROSS THE NATION. IT IS 83.2% UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. WE HAVE 80% OF OUR PAYROLL OR IS THAT POPULATION? PLEASE HELP US DO SOMETHING TO GET THESE GUYS BACK TO WORK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU GET RUGER. LISA WASHINGTON. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I DO APOLOGIZE. I HAVE MISSED A FEW MEETINGS. I TOOK MY MOTHER OUT OF TOWN, OKAY? BUT I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK ON RESOLUTION AS I ALWAYS BE GONE, AND, UM, I'M NOT AGAINST ANYTHING THAT HAS WENT ON TODAY. I HAVE NOTHING PERSONALLY AGAINST HIM WELL, BUT I NEED SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO PROTECT. MY FAMILY IN MY COMMUNITY. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T LIVE IN MY COMMUNITY ANYMORE. MAMA.THERE'S A SENIOR. MY ANSWER SENIORS. MY UNCLE'S HEIR. SENIORS WERE THE GROWN PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY NOW. SO I NEED SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO STEP UP AND HELP THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. I DO BELIEVE IN WHAT ALL YOU GUYS DO. I REALLY DO. I JUST THINK THAT IT'S TIME THAT WE HAD SOMEBODY THAT REALLY REPRESENTED US. AND WHEN YOU'RE MAKING YOUR DECISION ON WHO YOU'RE GOING TO REPLACE IN DISTRICT ONE JUST KNOW. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WOULD BE IN IT.
EVERY MEETING. OK, THAT'S NOT A THREAT. THAT'S JUST A PROMISE BECAUSE I WANT RESOLUTION, AND I WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN IN DISTRICT ONE. OKAY ARE YOU MY TIME? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. TANNER. GENERAL. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I AM HERE IS TANNER HAGAR. I OWN RIGHT RESTAURANT. I'M ALSO A ADAMANT MEMBER OF THE MAQUIS RESTAURANT COUNSEL. I'M HERE SPEAKING WITH YOU. FIRSTLY TO JUST THANK YOU FOR SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE THE GRANT PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE THE PATIO. ACCESS THAT'S BEEN MADE AVAILABLE AS BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY NOW IS BC RESTAURANTS BEING CLOSED ONCE AGAIN THROUGHOUT EUROPE, AND AS WE LOOK AT DECEMBER BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME OF OUR YEAR AND SEEING THAT IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE VERY AWARE OF, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. I'M HERE WITH MY COLLEAGUES ASKING TO EXTEND SOME OF THE ACTIONS YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN TO HELP US OVER THIS EXCEPTIONAL TIME. MOST SPECIFICALLY, WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS WE'RE ABLE TO USE SOME SPACE IN FRONT OF OUR RESTAURANT. WE WOULD NOW LIKE TO BE ABLE TO COVER SOME OF THAT SPACE IN FRONT OF OUR RESTAURANT AND THEN HEAT IT. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF PLACES WHERE YOU CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT CITIES, NOT ONLY UNITED STATES, BUT DALLAS, WHICH HAS APPROVED SOME OF THE PARK. LET'S THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE TALKED AB.
OR SOME OF THESE POTENTIAL TENTED AREAS. WE'RE ONLY ASKING FOR THIS THROUGH THE WINTER PERIOD. WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE THESE DOWN IN THE SPRING OR USED THEM AS SORT OF A PILOT FOR WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE DONE ON AN ONGOING BASIS. WE SEE THIS AS NOT ONLY A BENEFIT TO US, BUT RETAILERS BEING ABLE TO TAKE THAT TO CREATE SOME OUTDOOR SHOPPING ENVIRONMENTS IN FRONT OF THEIR STORES AS WELL. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT BE SOMETHING WE CAN UTILIZE GOING FORWARD. WE SEE THIS IS NOT ONLY BEING IMPORTANT FOR YOU KNOW US HIS BUSINESS PEOPLE, BUT AS THEY'VE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE CLASSIFIED AS ESSENTIAL WORKERS FEEDING PEOPLE WITH SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP DOING IT AND KEEPING OUR PEOPLE WORKING IN THAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. WE ALSO SEE IT IN MY DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE ONGOING WITH THE VISITORS BUREAU. THEY FIND THESE WALKABLE SPACE IS VERY ADVANTAGEOUS NOT ONLY FOR THE RESTAURANTS BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AND WE BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW, MCKINNEY HAS THIS VIEW NOW AS A DINING AND SHOPPING DESTINATION, AND WE WOULD LIKE THE CAPACITY TO INCORPORATE THE OUTSIDE INTO THAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WINTER. SO I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH. OF COURSE. THE MCKINNEY RESTAURANT COUNCIL.
ALSO SEVERAL OF THE RETAILERS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE THE ONES WHO HAVE ALREADY APPROVED THE DOCUMENTATION AND THE DESIGNS THAT WE HAVE OUTLINED. I'M AVAILABLE TO YOU. WE, OF COURSE, IN ALL OF THESE COVERED AREAS THAT INCORPORATE THE SIDEWALK HAVE PLANNED FOR AND WOULD INCORPORATE 80 ACCESS AND SOME OF THESE OTHER CITY VERY IMPORTANT CITY AND NATIONAL GUIDELINES. WE'VE MET WITH THE CITY STAFF LAST WEEK AND WILL DO SO ON GOING TO DO THIS. SO MY BIG ASK FOR THE COUNCIL IS THAT THERE IS ALREADY EXISTING A TEMPORARY EVENTS PERMIT. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO BUILD A TENT. IT ALLOWS YOU TO OCCUPY PARKING SPACE. IF NEED BE. WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW US TO UTILISE THAT EXISTING PERMIT FOR THIS AND ASKED THE CITY STAFF AS THEY'RE LOOKING AT OUR PERMITS TO NOT APPROVE THEM ON A 60 TO 90 DAY BASIS, BUT MORE ON A
[01:05:04]
PERHAPS 6 TO 9 DAY BASIS. AS THIS CONTINUES TO RISE, WE NEED TO HAVE A SOLUTION QUITE QUICKLY. SO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. SEAN HOME. GOOD EVENING. YOU SURE? GREETINGS TO ALL OF YOU. MY NAME'S SEAN. HOW RESIDENT HERE MAKIN A 42 09 HAWKINS DRIVE. UM. FIRST COMMENT WOULD BE ABOUT COVE IT 19 WE ARE OVER 100,000 CASES A DAY. AND I KNOW. MAYOR FULLER THAT YOUR FAMILY HAS HAD THEN I HOPE YOUR WIFE IS FEELING BETTER SHE IS. THANK YOU. GOOD, UH, A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM CONTRACTED COVERT 19. AND SHE'S SHE'S FARING BETTER NOW, BUT I JUST WANTED, TEO CONTINUE TO ASK YOU ALL TO. CONTINUE YOUR PROACTIVE APPROACH TO ALL OF THE KOBE 19 PROTOCOLS FROM THE CDC. AS YOU KNOW, OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE HAVE DIED TO HAVE DIED, OR NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE HAVE PASSED AWAY TO IT. THE DEATH TOLL IS ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE. SO WHAT THAT SAID, CONTINUE TO TAKE YOUR PROACTIVE APPROACHES AND REMIND THE CITIZENS THAT THIS. IS A VERY ACTIVE AND SILENT KILLER. IN OUR COMMUNITY THERE GONNA BE A LOT OF MISSING PEOPLE AT OUR DINNER TABLES OVER THE HOLIDAYS. SECONDLY, I'D JUST LIKE TO BRING UP THAT. COURSE WE KNOW THAT. WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT ELECT. SOME HAVE ACCEPTED. SOME HAVE NOT, BUT IT SPEAKS TO THE KIND OF DIVISION THAT IS IN OUR COUNTRY. AND. AND I JUST WOULD LIKE US, TEO AS AS A COMMUNITY TO EACH OF EACH PERSON. TAKE A. TAKE THE CHALLENGE OF RATCHETING DOWN THE RHETORIC. TO REALLY LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR TO REALLY SEE THAT WE'RE WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS. WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING WE WANT. WE ALL WANT TO FLOURISH AND THRIVE. AND THE ONLY WAY THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS IF WE CAN COME TOGETHER. AND HAVE MEANINGFUL THOUGHT FOR.CONVERSATIONS THAT REALLY SPEAK TO OUR STABILITY. AND SO I JUST URGE ALL OF OUR CITIZENS WHO LOVE THIS CITY, TIO. THE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM AND WATCH WHAT WE SAY.
I THINK. I THINK YOU KNOW KIND. WORDS GO A LONG WAY, BUT SPEAK THE TRUTH AND LOVE. AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHOW. TAMARA JOHNSON. SPEAKING. HERE WE ARE. AT THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY. OUR COUNTRY HAS COME TO ITS SENSES AND DULY ELECTED JOB ITEM AND PAMELA HARRIS AS THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD. NATIONALLY IT'S GOING TO BE A NEW DAY ONE FILLED WITH MODELING, EMPATHY, HUMANITY, CARING FOR OTHERS AND RIEL COMMUNITY. GROWN FOLK CONVERSATIONS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN TO GET TO A PLACE OF WORKING TOGETHER AND WORKING OUT DIFFERENCES. WE'RE NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE PERFECT IMMEDIATELY. CHANGE IS IN THE AIR. WE WILL NO LONGER BE UNDER A REGIME THAT IF YOU DON'T THINK LIKE THEM, YOU DON'T MATTER. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AMERICA REALLY IS ABOUT TO BE GREAT AGAIN, AS ORIGINALLY OFFERED BY PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN. IT SEEMS THAT THIS COUNCIL IS WALKING IN STEP WITH THE OUTGOING NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY SOMEONE SPEAKS OR THINKS CHANGE THE WORLD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME, THEY KICKED HIM OUT. THE CITY LEADERSHIP HAS SHOWN THAT THEY RUN THE CITY AND THE DESIRES OF ONE DISTRICT DISTRICT ONE HAVE TO BE DETERMINED BY THE WHOLE CITY. LOOK AT THE WORK ABOUT TO BEGIN TAKING PLACE VIA THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I SURE HOPE THIS PREFACE IS NOT THE CASE THAT WITH THAT PLAN, IT DOES SAME BAD, JUST A TINY BIT. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A CHANGED VERY IN BY THE CITY AND RENAMING THE HISTORICAL NEIGHBORHOODS OF
[01:10:04]
LEWISVILLE, LIVELY HILL AND ROCK WALL AND THE DELAY IN RENAMING OF THROCKMORTON STREET. AN ANOMALY IN THE CITY IS THE APPOINTMENT OF THE REPLACEMENT COUNCIL PERSON FOR DISTRICT ONE. IN CONTRAST, WHEN WE ASKED THE OFFENSIVE OPPRESSIVE STATUE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE. THAT THERE HAD TO BE AT HUD BOARD APPOINTED MULTIPLE MEETINGS AND A CITYWIDE SURVEY TO DECIDE IF A RACIST, TREASONOUS HISTORICAL FIGURE BE REMOVED FROM THE PUBLIC VIEW. WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF COUNCIL PERSON FOR DISTRICT ONE. THERE'S NO AD HOC BOARD, COMPRISED OF DIVERSE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY APPOINTED TO FIGURE IT OUT. NO TOWN HALL MEETINGS TO ASK CONSTITUENTS. WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO REPLACE COUNCILMAN? SHAME? WELL, NO SURVEY TO HAVE DETERMINED WHO THE RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO SEE GOVERNOR FOR THEM ON THE CITY LEVEL. THIS WHOLE THING IS TURNING OUT TO BE PRETTY UNFAIR FOR THE RESIDENTS OF DISTRICT ONE SUPPOSED RESIDENTS OF DISTRICT ONE BEGAN TO SCREAM THAT THE ELECTION IS UNFAIR AND THAT THERE IS WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD THAT BROUGHT US TO THE RESULTS OF TODAY. WHAT WOULD YOU ALL SAY THEN? WHAT ABOUT A RECAP? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE ILLEGAL MAIL IN BALLOTS THAT SHOWED UP IN THE FINAL TALLY? I'LL BET YOU WOULD THINK THAT ABSURD. SAMOS WHAT IS BEING THOUGHT ABOUT THERE BEING AN APPOINTMENT TO DISTRICT ONE COUNCIL SEAT WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE ENTIRE DISTRICT? ONE COMMUNITY AND I JUST LIKE TO ADD. YOU KNOW, I HOPE THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME MEETINGS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE MY MOTHER AND MR MCGOWAN ONE AND THE EVANS FAMILY AND THEN BEGET MALVIN FAMILIES AND EVERYONE THAT'S LIVED IN THAT COMMUNITY FOREVER. PLEASE. THANK YOU, TAMARA. LONZO TOUCHING. DON'T YOU HAVE A FOOTBALL GAME TO GO TO DO WHAT? I'M HEADED OUT RIGHT AFTER THIS. MY GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS TAUGHT ME TO NOT LEAVE IT TO THE BIN ADDICTION BECAUSE YOU MISS OUT ON YOUR BLESSING. I'LL SAY THIS. DISTRICT, ONE SEAT IS EMPTY. AND IT IS THE BEST AND THAT HIS VOICE I'VE HEARD IN 3.5 YEARS. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS GO BACK TO BEING A FORMER EDUCATED. EVERYONE IN THE CITY OF MCCAIN, ESPECIALLY DISTRICT ONE PUT YOUR HANDS UP HIGH. TO THE SKY. PUT IT IN A MILLION BACK. GIVE YOUR FAILS FOR FIVE TAPS. AND THAT WE ARE IN ALL OF MY FACEBOOK POST. COLOSSAL TOUCHING. I'M OUT.THANKS. RIGHT. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS THAT MOVES US, TOO. COUNCIL LIAISON

I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSED RECENTLY ON THE PARKLAND ISSUE IS JUST WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HEATERS AND WHATNOT, I THINK WE THERE'S A CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY. ENGAGING THE FIRE MARSHAL. THAT TYPE OF THING, I THINK IF I. WITHOUT HEATERS, THE. CONCERN AND SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT ARE THE PUBLIC STREETS, PUBLIC PARKING SPACES, BUT I'D LOVE TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. HOW WE CAN MOVE REALLY, REALLY QUICKLY AND FIGURE SOME OF THOSE THINGS OUT, EVEN IF IT'S IN A STAGED. METHOD YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE TO ENGAGE FIRE MARSHAL LIFE SAFETY AND A D A. CERTAINLY WE COULD. WE COULD DO THAT. BUT IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO? IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. THAT DOESN'T. YOU KNOW THAT THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW. NECESSARILY AT THIS MOMENT STRUCTURES WITH HEATING ELEMENTS IN THAT TYPE OF THING WHERE WE GET INTO LIFE SAFETY. MR MAYOR, IF YOU DON'T MIND OFF COMMENT ON THAT BRIEFLY. WE STAFF IS WORKING RIGHT NOW. A CZ WE SPEAK ON SOME ADMINISTRATIVE WAYS IN WHICH WE COULD PROVIDE. SOME ASSISTANCE TO THESE REQUESTS. WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT BUILDING STRUCTURES, PUTTING THEM IN A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY WITH HEAT ELECTRICITY. THERE'S 88 REQUIREMENTS. PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH. THOSE THINGS ARE PROBABLY GONNA BE A LITTLE THORNIER AND ADMINISTRATIVELY MIGHT BE MORE DIFFICULT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO CERTAINLY EXPLORE EVERY CHANCE WE EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE CAN TO DO IT ADMINISTRATIV FOR THOSE THINGS THAT ARE MORE OF A TEMPORARY NATURE FOR HELPING DURING A PERIOD OF SALES THAT THAT MAY PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT OUR STAFF IS WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW, IF WE COULD DO SOME THINGS ADMINISTRATIVELY BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING WILL DO IT. AND WILL CERTAINLY WORK WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO PRESS THE
[01:15:07]
ENVELOPE ON THOSE SOMETHINGS, THOUGH, MAY HAVE TO REQUIRE A COUNCIL ORDINANCE AND COUNCIL DIRECTION, IN WHICH CASE THAT WOULD HAPPEN AT THE NEXT MEETING. JUST SAY I WILL MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE FOR A SPECIAL MEETING THE MOMENT THAT STAFF. THAT WE IDENTIFY WHAT WE CAN DO.SO JUST SO WE DON'T LOSE ANY MORE TIME. BUT I THINK. THINK I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE APPEAR THAT WE WANT TO DO WHATEVER AND EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP THE BUSINESSES I KNOW STAFF DOES AS WELL. THAT'S NOT A NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE COUNCIL'S. EVERYBODY HAS THAT. EVERYONE'S SO. YOU KNOW, WE ASKED STAFF TOE TOO. REALLY? QUESTION. PRESS IS HARD AND FAST AS THEY CAN, AND HAS A COUNCIL. I THINK I SPEAK FOR ONE UP HERE AS WELL. THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON A MOMENT'S NOTICE TO CONVENE FOR A SPECIAL MEETING THAT WE CAN. GET IT DONE BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING. I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT AND IT'S VITAL AND IT'S IMPORTANT EVERYBODY UP HERE AND I DON'T KNOW ITS IMPORTANCE TO STAFF IS WELL, OF COURSE. THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT YOU KNOW, DISTRICT ONE AND STATUTE COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE WAS NOT ACTUALLY PUT IN PLACE TO MAKE A DECISION. THAT COMMITTEE WAS PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A STATUE THAT WAS ERECTED 135 YEARS AGO. THE ACTIONS OF A MAN 135 YEARS AGO, AND THERE WAS A LOT OFTHE MISSING DISINFORMATION THAT WAS BEING PUT OUT IN EVERYTHING FROM I WANT TO GET INTO A LOT OF. A LOT OF LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, AND THE IDEA WAS THAT THE COMMITTEE. WOULD GET TOGETHER WITH STAFF AND IDENTIFY WHAT REALLY ARE THE FACTS SURROUNDING THE STATUE AND THEN PROVIDE TWO DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES BECAUSE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE TWO DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. IT STAYS OR MOVES. AND THE HOPE WAS THAT IN THIS DIVISIVE WORLD THAT WAS ALSO TALKED ABOUT BY MR HOWE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE HORROR OF OUR DIVISIVENESS. BUT THE IDEA WAS THAT INSTEAD OF COUNCIL JUST MAKING A DECISION WITHOUT HAVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THE FACTS.
AND NOT GIVING RESIDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES OF THAT ISSUE. WITH REGARD TO THE COUNCIL, ONE DISTRICT SEAT THERE WAS A COMMITTEE IS CALLED THE VOTERS OF MCKINNEY. AND THE VOTERS OF DISTRICT ONE VOTED TWO OF EVERY THREE THAT VOTED VOTED. FOR THAT, FOR THAT RECALL ELECTION IN FAVOR OF IT, SO THERE WAS ACTUALLY A COMMITTEE WASN'T 11 PEOPLE OR WHATEVER NUMBER WE HAD ON OUR COMMITTEE. UM, IT WAS 70. SOME 1000 PEOPLE WAS THE COMMITTEE ON THAT. AND THEY SPOKE LOUD AND CLEAR, NOT JUST FROM ACROSS THE CITY, BUT FROM DISTRICT ONE SPECIFICALLY SO I. I TAKE EXCEPTION TO COMPARE THE TWO WE THE ACTIONS OF THAT COUNCIL MEMBER. WE'RE HERE IN REAL TIME AND PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS B. FOR THEIR DISTRICT VERSUS A STATUE OF 135 YEARS OF AGE THAT NO ONE HAD FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE AND WE NEEDED TO PROVIDE THAT QUITE A DRASTIC DIFFERENCE, WHICH IS WHY THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE APPROACH. DOESN'T MY COMMENTS FOR THE EVENING? PHILLIPS. MARY COUNCIL TENDED. A TOUR OF OUR PARKS PROJECTS.
THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN THE WORDS WITH OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT. MY KOWSKI IS AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM. IT WAS WELL ATTENDED. THERE IS ABOUT 30 TO 40 PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE. MOST OF THEM WERE VOLUNTEERS ON OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. OR THERE ARE FOLKS WHO WORK FOR THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. AND WE'VE GOT GREAT THINGS IN THE WORK HERE IN MCKINNEY, THE SENIOR CENTRE IS USED TO CLASSY OPERATION THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THAT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL. WHEN IT GETS RESTORED. ESO WILL OLD SETTLERS PART WE TOURED BOTH THOSE WELLS COTTONWOOD PARK, AND THERE'S TREMENDOUS PROJECT TO THOSE BEING ON THE EAST SIDE, AND THEY WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES. IN FACT, BE A TURNING POINT FOR THOSE CHILDREN, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO MR KOWSKI, MR GRIMES IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ON THAT. UH, THREE PROJECTS WELL DONE. THE STATE OF THE CITY HAPPENED LAST WEEK AND I INTENDED BY VIDEO, AND I WAS MOST IMPRESSED WITH OUR HOST AND MODERATOR, MISS AMY ROSENTHAL. HE DID A TREMENDOUS JOB ON. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNEW THAT FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING A TV ANCHOR FROM SOME NEWS PROGRAM. SO THANK YOU, AMY FOR GOOD WORK. I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY. IT IS NATIONAL SIGNING DAY AND WE HAVE SOME YOUNG PEOPLE FROM MCKINNEY, WHO WILL BE MOVING ON REPRESENT MCKINNEY. AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL IN BASKETBALL.

I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO EACH AND ALL THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'LL BE REPRESENTING MCKINNEY ACROSS THE SOUTH AND ACROSS ALL OF THEIR UNIVERSITIES, EVEN UP TO THE NORTHEAST. WE'RE ALL PROUD OF YOU. AND CONGRATULATIONS. EACH OFYOU SPECIAL. CONGRATULATIONS GO TO JUST DIXON, WHO I SAW LAST WEEK PICK OFTHE PAST FOR THE MCKINNEY LINES AT 50 OUR LINE. HE WAS MET BY THE ENTIRE OFFENSIVE LINE BUT WILLED HIMSELF INTO THE END ZONE OVER AND ABOVE. THOSE GUYS WHO WERE TWICE IS. IT WAS AN AMAZING RUN BACK, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT JOSH GETS CREDIT FOR THAT WAY. ALSO. THIS LAST WEEKEND. I SAW AN AMAZING TRIBUTE TO KIM DAVIS, A GUITARIST WHO PASSED AWAY FROM THE DALLAS AREA TRIBUTE WAS ACTUALLY PLAYED ON KIM'S GUITAR, AND IT WAS. FITTING AND HONORABLE TO KIM DAE. SO THANK YOU, MR MAYOR FOR THAT TRIBUTE. I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS PAST WAY HAVE JUST RECENTLY CELEBRATED A VERY, VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY IN MCKINNEY AL PERRY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOL PERIOD. ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOE MARRIED GEORGE FLOOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ELLIOT.
WHY DO I HAVE TO FOLLOW HIM? IT IS TOUGH, BUT YOU HAVE TO GO. THAT'S WHY I WENT FIRST. SO JUST ASK YOUR FORGIVENESS FOR A LITTLE BIT OF A LENGTHY STATEMENT HERE AND THEN THIS, SO I HAVE TO DO WITH PARTICULARLY DIRECTLY WITH COUNSEL LIAISONS. WANT TO QUICKLY PASSED ON SOME THOUGHTS FROM LAST THREE OR FOUR WEEKS. EACH OF US HAS A LIMITED TIME ON THIS PLANET. EVERY PERSON HAS TO MAKE A CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO INVESTING THEIR TIME.
EACH PERSON ON COUNCIL DECIDES HOW THEY WILL CARRY OUT THEIR DUTIES. HOW MUCH TIME THEY'LL INVEST. YOU KNOW FOR ME? THAT'S ABOUT 25 HOURS A WEEK. FOR SOME, IT'S LESS SOME. IT'S MORE FOR GEORGE. IT SEEMS TO BE A FULL TIME FULL TIME ENDEAVOUR AND DON'T KNOW HOW HE DOES IT.
SO RENDERING ELECTION SEASON FOR CITY COUNCIL HAD A QUESTION ANSWER. DO I INVEST 5000 HOURS? FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND CITY COUNCIL WORK IF OUR TO EVEN BE REELECTED, E GET TO WORK ALONGSIDE TALENTED FOLKS WORKED WITH THE MAYOR. AS I SAID, HIS DEDICATION TO THIS CITY IS UNMATCHED. AND JUST FOR THE RECORD OUR FIRST LADIES BETTER THAN YOUR FIRST LADY. I DON'T CARE WHAT CITY YOU LIVE IN. THANK YOU. WORK ALONGSIDE A CITY MANAGER WHO IS SECOND TO NONE. THE BEST CITY STAFF THE BEST POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE BEST FIRE DEPARTMENT, I BELIEVE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. LEST INTERACT WITH MCKINNEY, NEIGHBORS ACROSS SISTER THREE AND REALLY ALL OF MCKINNEY TO LISTEN TO LEARN AND TO WORK. ULTIMATELY, IT'S THE PEOPLE IN MCKINNEY. MAKE MCKINNEY MCKINNEY AND I'M BLESSED TO GET THE VISIT WITH THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. I CAN'T IMAGINE A BETTER SITUATION IN WHICH TO SERVE ON COUNCIL. I DANCE? THE SECOND QUESTION IS, DO I INVEST THOSE SAME 5000 HOURS OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS IN ANOTHER WAY? COMMUNITY LIFE LINE. I HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER. GET SERVE OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WHO ARE HURTING AND NEED ASSISTANCE. HELP FEED THE HUNGRY. HELP KEEP FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES HELP KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. AND HONESTLY, THE BEST PART IS HELP PROVIDE HOPE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE PRETTY MUCH GIVEN UP. GET TO WORK ALONGSIDE THE BEST STAFF, THE BEST BOARD AND INCREDIBLE PARTNERS. INCLUDING OTHER NONPROFITS, INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS ACROSS OUR CITY AND COUNTY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COUNTY OF ANY SIZE IN ANY STATE ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT HAS MORE THAN 3000, NONPROFITS AND PEOPLE WILLING TO WORK HARD TO MAKE THAT WORK.
THERE'S MORE WORK TO DO. WE NEED A GROCERY STORE EAST OF MCDONALD STREET. WE NEED MORE WORKFORCE HOUSING. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MEET. BUT I FEAR WILL BE THE ONGOING AND INCREASING CHALLENGES OF THIS PANDEMIC. HELP OFFSET THE TERRIBLE EFFECTS THE COVE IT'S HAVING ON OUR NEIGHBORS. WE NEED MEANINGFUL JOBS FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. SO WHAT I'M BLESSED TO DO EVERY DAY AND THE WORK AHEAD. MADE A VERY, VERY TOUGH DECISION SOMEWHAT EASIER.
COMPARING THESE TWO OPTIONS. I BELIEVE COMMITTEE LIFELINE IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
[01:25:01]
OUR FELLOW RESIDENTS. AND INVEST MY TIME. THEREFORE I WILL NOT BE RUNNING FOR RE ELECTION FOR CITY COUNCIL IN DISTRICT THREE. TEO GIVE US MUCH LEAD TIME FOR FOLKS THAT WOULD CONSIDER RUNNING FOR THE SEAT TOHAVE RATHER THAN SPRING SPRING THAT. THAT DECISION ON EVERYBODY IN THE LATER TIME. LOOK FORWARD, CONSIDERING TO CONTINUE SERVING THE CITIZENS OF DISTRICT THREE UNTIL THEY ELECT A NEW REPRESENTATIVE. I LOOK FORWARD TO FINDING OUT WHO THAT WILL BE. AND SUPPORTING THE WORK THAT THEY WILL DO FOR MCKINNEY. YOU HAVE SEEN IT WHEN WE APPOINT PEOPLE TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. THERE ARE CITIES WHERE WHERE POSITIONS GO BEGGING. WHERE POSITION YOU KNOW WHEN PEOPLE IN THE MAYOR'S SEAT OR OUR CITY MANAGER SEAT ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND ANYONE TO SERVE ON THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS HELP DEFINE THE CITY. NOT THAT WAY. WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT SEEK LITERALLY ONLY A FEW DOZEN POSITIONS. EVERY TIME WE APPOINT PEOPLE, THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WERE BLESSED THAT WAY. I HAVE NO DOUBT IN DISTRICT THREE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT WILL SERVE AND SERVE WELL AND WE'LL SEE WHO THAT'LL BE. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME FOR A VERY LONG COMMENT. OBVIOUSLY SERVE OUT THE REST OF MY TERM AND DO WHAT I CAN TO SUPPORT THE COUNCIL GOING FORWARD, BUT I BELIEVE AFTER THAT TIME MY TIME IS, UH, FEEL CALLED. WORD WITH CLC.THANK YOU, MAYOR. UH ONE THING I'D LIKE TO ECHO YOUR MAYOR. YOUR THOUGHTS ON ON THESE.
WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO OPEN UP THESE. RESTAURANTS AND I'M WILLING TO DO. I'D LOVE TO SEE THEM FULLY OPERATIONAL AND OPEN AND I WAS IN CALIFORNIA LAST NIGHT, AND THEY DON'T ALLOW YOU IN THE RESTAURANTS. AND SO I WAS 48 DEGREES AND JUST FROZE THAT OUT. THE PATIO WITH WITH A CLIENT OF MINE. AND, UH SO I I'D LOVE TO SEE IT ALL AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL. WAY PAST SOMETHING TODAY. WITH REGARDING OUR. RESOLUTION ADOPTED THIS CITY'S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
SOMETIMES THINGS ARE BEING BEING SAID ABOUT MCKINNEY HIRING LOBBYISTS. WE HAVE PEOPLE DOWN IN AUSTIN, REPRESENTING US. AND SOME PEOPLE. HOW HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT? WHY DO YOU DO THAT? AND THERE'S ALWAYS THESE QUESTIONS THINKING WELL, WHY ARE WE WASTING TAXPAYERSMONEY TO HELP OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES? LET ME JUST DO A LOT OF GOOD WORK FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THAT THIS RIGHT NOW IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS NOT BEEN A FRIEND. TO THE CITIES. THEY HAVE HEARD US IN MANY WAYS THEY'VE THEY'VE FOUGHT AGAINST. I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO IT, MAN. THERE'S FAR MORE. MOLLIFIED TEO TO STAY BECAUSE HE'S BEEN DOWN THERE, UM, AND FOUGHT AND WE'VE LOST A COUPLE OF THINGS AND WE MANAGED TO PRESERVE A COUPLE OF THINGS, BUT IT'S ALWAYS A FIGHT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT ONE OF OUR LOBBYIST IN HIS GODDESS WAS. 15 $15 MILLION FOR OUR AIRPORT. IF WE DON'T HAVE LOBBYISTS, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I MEAN, IS THAT IS THAT WOULD YOU SAY THAT THAT'S MONEY WELL SPENT. I WOULD SAY ABSOLUTELY. AND SO KNOW THAT. THE THOSE THAT WE ELECT TO REPRESENT US. AND OUR STATE LEGISLATOR ARE NOT FRIENDLY TO THE CITIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WHICH IS JUST COMPLETELY MIND BLOWING TO ME WHY WE CAN'T WORK TOGETHER TOGETHER BETTER THAN WE DO, BUT WE DON'T. UM, SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED THESE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES. THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO FOCUS IN ON KEEPING OUR LEGISLATURE OUR LOCAL ONES.
MINDFUL OF HOW THEY CAN HURT THE CITIES. SO, UH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. WELL, SAID. FRANKLIN.
FIRST OF ALL. I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS WHAT SCOTT SAID. AND HOW MUCH HE WILL BE MISSED ON THIS COUNCIL. I WATCHED HIM DIE, WATCHED HIS HEART OF WATCHED HOW HARD HE'S WORKED FOR THE PEOPLE OF MECHANIC. I'M STILL DISTRESSED. IT HASN'T QUITE SUNK IN. COME MAY WILL BE WITHOUT HIM. YOU'VE SEEN WHAT HE'S DONE IN THE COMMUNITY. I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MADE THE DECISION. HE'S DOING GREAT THINGS WITH COMMUNITY LIFELINE. AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE MISSED BY ALL OF THIS ON THE COUNCIL. SECOND OF ALL. I'VE BEEN TAKING THESE CITIZENS
[01:30:02]
FIRE ACADEMY. AND ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WANTS TO REALIZE HOW WELL TRAINED THEY ARE. WE HAVE A FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT TRAINING FACILITY, BUT WE ONLY HAVE THREE IN TEXAS OF THAT SIZE. AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS BECOME A PARTNER AND I HAVE A PROGRAM TO TRY AND FIRE ME. AND IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT, YOU KNOW TO GO TAKE A TOUR OF IT. AND OR EVEN TAKE THIS CLASS. I PUT OUT FOR FIRE. I REPEL DOWN A SIX STORY BUILDING. I'VE CLIMBED A 75 60 FT LADDER. I MEAN, YOU DO THINGS AND YOU UNDERSTAND ONCE YOU PUT ON THAT EQUIPMENT, AND YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH THEY'RE CARRYING AROUND TRYING TO PUT OUT FIRES AND 400 DEGREE HEAT OR WHATEVER. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY DO IN THE COMMITMENT THEY HAVE TO THIS COMMUNITY. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OUT EITHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROGRAM. AND I HAVE A CLOSE RELATIVE THAT'S BEEN IN THAT PROGRAM AND SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY IF THEY WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT. THINGS THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO GO TAKE THAT. GO TAKE THAT CLASS. THE OTHER THING IS. JUST LIKE EVERYBODY UP HERE. WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT, UH, THE DOWNTOWN AREA WAY WANT WE WANT THE RESTAURANTS TO SUCCEED. I'VE SEEN OVERTIME GO BACK AND FORTH AND ALL THE ISSUES THAT HAVE GOING ON DOWNTOWN. I DON'T EVER WANT TO BE TO THAT POINT, SO YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY COMMITMENT TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN POSSIBLY DO TO HELP THE. RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN. THAT'S ALL. I JUST WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO OF ALL THIS RIG CLIMBING THESE THINGS AND SCALING THESE THINGS. IF WE COULD PLEASE HAVE THAT FOR ONE OF OUR MEETINGS THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.STARTED OFF THIS WEEK WITH STATE OF THE CITY ON TUESDAY. AMY THAT WAS A GREAT JOB. YOU YOU KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK. THE ONLY THING THAT WAY DIDN'T GET TO SEE GEORGE AND MAINLY PLAY LIKE LAST STATE OF THE CITY. I THOUGHT THAT WAS. A PRETTY AMAZING SIGHT. PAUL GRIMES BRING SUCH A GRATED. INSIDE TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HER CITY. I KNOW IT'S A DIFFICULT TIME WHEN YOU WATCH A ZOOM AND YOU'RE. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THE GRASS BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND YOU HAVE A SMALLER SCALE BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S GILDING AND BUT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU HAVE A CITY OF OUR SIZE, AND YOU'RE YOU'RE STILL ADDING TO POLICE AND YOU'RE ADDING TO FIRE AND YOU'RE ADDING TWO BUSINESSES AND YOU'RE ADDING TWO ON THEN YOU'RE NOT BRINGING ANY NEW TAXES. YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOUR ATTITUDE YOU DIDN'T BRING ANY NEW TAXES? YOU? HOW DID YOU ACCOMPLISH THAT TAX RATE AND IT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL BECAUSE IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE AND WE DID IT. AND WE DID IT DURING THE WORST PANDEMIC IN THEIR HISTORY. ON SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT SAYS WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF WHO'S WORKING FOR YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY TO TRY TO GET US THERE ON THE RESTAURANTS.
I 100% AGREE WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU GUYS. YOU ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF THE CITY, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU WE DON'T HAVE THE FOLKS THAT COME INTO DOWNTOWN WITHOUT YOU. WE DON'T HAVE THE FOLKS TO GO TO THE JAIL. WE DON'T HAVE THE FOLKS THAT GOTO.
THOSE AREAS THAT WANT TO EAT AND CELEBRATE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. WE NEED TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE YOU MAKE YOU WORK AND MAKE THE CITY WORK FOR YOU. THAT'S THAT'S A COMMITMENT YOU HAVE FROM ME. AND I THINK EVERYBODY UP HERE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT EXACT SAME COMMITMENT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T HAVE US MOVING FORWARD. I'M GONNA GO INTO DISTRICT ONE REAL QUICK. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF TALK ABOUT DISTRICT WENT FROM MEANS FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND HOW IT HASN'T BEEN REPRESENTED, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE WERE. WE'VE BEEN MISSING A LOT HOW IT HAS NOT BEEN REPRESENTED. WE NEED TO FIX THAT. RIGHT SO WE'RE SITTING IN IT. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE GET THE PERSON. THEY'RE THE COMMUNITY'S INPUT. THE EVERYONE'S COMMUNITIES IN NOT THE FOLKS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR GENERATION AFTER GENERATION THE FOLKS THAT MOVED IN HERE YESTERDAY. THEY HAVE TO HAVE A SAY IN WHAT GOES INTO THAT COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES LIKE I SAID EARLIER, BACK IN THE BACK WHEN YOU WALK OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR OF YOUR CAR WHENEVER YOU PARK AND YOUR NEIGHBORS, THEY'RE TALKING IN YOU TALK TO THEM, OR YOU'RE AT THE GROCERY STORY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SO AND SO, WITH LOUD CAR THAT'S COMING DOWN THE STREET OR THE POTHOLES THERE.
THAT IS A PIECE OF A COMMUNITY THAT HAS TO BE REPRESENTED ALL THOSE AIR FACETS AND WITHOUT THAT, YOU DON'T GET IT DONE. AND WE'VE GOT TO FIX THAT FOR DISTRICT ONE, AND WE WILL GET IT DONE. AND I MEAN WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE PERSON THAT REPRESENTS MAN WHO WANTS TO REPRESENT THAT COMMUNITY WITHOUT ALL THE OBSTRUCTIONISTS COMING IN AND OUT. I DON'T
[01:35:03]
THINK ANYBODY WANTS THAT ANYMORE. THAT'S THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO MOVE PAST. UM I GOT I'VE BEEN GETTING A COLD LOTS OF CALLS ON MULTI FAMILY. AND I JUST WANT TO GO OVER THIS. SO WHEN YOU GO THROUGH MULTI FAMILY, YOU SAID WE'D NEED MULTI FAMILY, MEANWHILE, WERE SO TEXAS IS NUMBER TWO BEHIND CALIFORNIA AND TRYING TO BUILD MULTI FAMILY. AND IT'S BECAUSE IT'S HOT. IT'S JUST A HOT MARKET FOR IT. AND SO WHEN OTHER THINGS DRY UP LIKE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT DRIES UP AND YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE CORNERS WELL, THOSE CORNERS NOW GET REZONED OR TRY TO GET REZONED OR ANY OF THOSE PIECES TRYING TO GET RE ZONED FOR MULTI FAMILY. NOW EVERYONE'S LIKE, WELL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA. SO HIGH IDENTIFICATION. IF YOU GO INTO THAT PIECE RIGHT THERE, DO WE NEED TO TAKE EVERY GREEN PIECE OF LAND? WE HAVEN'T PUT SOMETHING ON IT. NOPE. YOU CAN ASK THE PLAY KNOWS OF THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED OUT OF ARLINGTON'S OF THE WORLD AND THE OTHER, VERY HIGH IDENTIFIED AREAS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OF LIKE WHAT WENT WRONG. I'LL GO ASK THOSE FOLKS.IT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ASK HIM. HOW DENSE DID YOU WANT IT? I LOVE THE FACT THAT TODAY WE CAME IN AND LOOKED AT AA PIECE OF PROPERTY AND CRAIG RANCH. THAT NEEDED SOME CHANGES TO MAKE IT MORE MARKETABLE, AND WE EVEN ADDED PIECES INTO IT. TOE WHERE IF YOU DIDN'T GET THERE, YOU COULDN'T DO THAT. THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT AREA SO THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD AND WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THEM. I LIKE IT. SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT.
I'M NOT THE MULTI FAMILY GUY. I JUST DON'T WANT US TO TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB THE PIECE THAT WE SHOULDN'T GRAB. WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT HARDER AND MAKE SURE THAT'S THE FIT FOR THIS COMMUNITY FOR THIS CITY FOR THIS STATE. AND MOVING FORWARD. UM. I'LL GO BACK A LITTLE BIT. I'M GOING TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT SCOTT. IN A SECOND. I MISSED OUR PARKS TOUR THIS LAST SATURDAY, BUT I BUT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IT. VETERANS DAY, WHICH IS TOMORROW. IT'S SATURDAY WE HAD WE HAD THE VETERANS DAY MEMORIAL AT AT, YOU KNOW OUR PARK OVER AND CRAIG RIDGE AND I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER DAY. BETTER. BETTER WEATHER BETTER PEOPLE. BETTER ATMOSPHERE BETTER FLY. I JUST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHERE YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU GO. THAT WAS JUST A SPECIAL DAY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE FAMILIES THAT GOT TO HEAR THEIR FAMILIES NAMES ON THAT WALL. 100 40. PEOPLE ARE ON THAT WALL RIGHT NOW, AND THEY'LL CONTINUE TO GROW, AND THAT'S A SAD THING. BUT THAT'S JUST PART OF PART OF LIFE. UH, I GOT THE TENDER HISTORICAL BOARD TO THIS LAST WEEK. I WILL TELL YOU I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO THE HISTORY OF OUR BUILDINGS IN THE CITY ON WHERE THEY STARTED, AND NOW THEY'RE STILL CONTINUING TO KEEP THE UPKEEP OF THOSE BUILDINGS. AND YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS PRETTY EASY, BUT IT'S NOT THAT. THERE'S A LOT OF THERE'S A LOT OF STRUCTURAL PIECES THAT GO INTO PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THAT HOUSE AND TO KEEP IT TO LOOK THE WAY WE WANT IT. JUST LOOK FOR THE HISTORICAL BOARD ONCE IT LOOK.
IN THE CITY. AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FOLKS ON THAT BOARD AND WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY'RE GETTING US THERE. NOW TO MY CLASSMATE OF 2012 SCOTT ELLIOTT. HE CALLED ME TODAY AND TOLD ME THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO RUN AND I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND I WAS TRYING TO THINK WHY ALL THE REASONS WHY HE WOULDN'T. I CAN'T THINK OF THERE'S NOT A BETTER PERSON SITTING IN THAT SEAT RIGHT NOW. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A PERSON THAT CAN FILL THOSE SHOES. AND I TOLD HIM THAT WHICH ARE 13 6 SOMETHING WHAT ARE THEY? I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THAT SIZE TO BE HONESTLY. BUT I WAS I WAS THINKING OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE RUNS AND ALL THE TIME HE PUTS INTO THE CITY. BECAUSE HE LOVES IT AND HE LOVES EVERYBODY THAT COMES AROUND. THERE'S NOT A MEAN BONE IN THAT MAN'S BODY. AND FOR HIM TO MAKE THAT DECISION. THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST DECISIONS HE'S HAD TO MAKE IN A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, SCOTT FOR SERVING. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. YOU DIDN'T.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GETTING THROUGH THE CLASS OF 2012 BACK WAY. SO LOVELY MAN.

THE HEADS OF S, R S AND INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL AND OTHER COMPANIES THAT WE'VE GOT AND THE NUMBER ONE CONSIDERATION. IS THAT. THEIR HR DEPARTMENTS. WHEN THEY LOOK AT MCKINNEY. IT'S BECAUSE OF WHERE ARE SAFE COMMUNITY, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT'S THE JOB THAT THEY DO AND THE STATS THAT THEY PUT ON THE BOARD IF YOU WILL. THAT WE ARE JUST THE SAFEST CITY AND WHEN THOSE COMPANIES ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO MOVE, THEY'RE ALL FOCUSED ON WHAT WE'RE THEIR FAMILIES.
