Nov 10, 2025 City Council

[ WORK SESSION - 6:30 PM]

[00:00:10]

MONDAY, NOVEMBER THE 10TH AT 6:30 P.M. THIS IS THE WORK SESSION, AND WE'LL TURN ITEM NUMBER TWO TO MISTER KIRK MCDANIEL. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO THESE ARE A COUPLE OF SEDC PROJECTS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. AND THIS IS THE FIRST READING. AND SO I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND READ THESE ITEMS. FIRST READING OF SEDC PROJECTS. DISCUSS RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 2578 IN ITS ENTIRETY, APPROVING A WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH MARKET AND ALLIANCE TEXAS INCORPORATED FOR COMPENSATION NOT TO EXCEED $40,750, AND AUTHORIZING AND RATIFYING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT AND ALL NECESSARY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS. ITEM B DISCUSS A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE CIVIL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, BY WHICH THE CORPORATION WILL PROVIDE FUNDING TO THE CITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000 FOR THE PURCHASE OF PLACER LABS, INCORPORATED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE FUNDING AGREEMENT. BOTH OF THESE ITEMS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE OR THE CDC HAS BEEN WORKING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE AND WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY THE CDC BOARD AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING. THE FIRST ITEM IS FOR THE WEBSITE REVAMP, WHICH I BELIEVE WENT TO COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY, AND YOU APPROVED IT, AND DOING THE PAPERWORK WITH MARKETING ALLIANCE. THEY HAD AN INCORPORATED IN TEXAS AND WHEN THEY WENT TO DO SO, THE MARKETING ALLIANCE NAME, LEGAL ENTITY NAME HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN. SO THEY HAD TO GO BACK AND REFILE THEIR PAPERWORK AS MARKETING ALLIANCE TEXAS INCORPORATED. AND THEN WE HAD TO REDO, ESSENTIALLY REDO OUR AGREEMENT WITH THEM UNDER THAT CORRECT ENTITY NAME. AND SO WE WENT AHEAD AND APPROVED THAT AGREEMENT WITH THEM. AND THIS IS RATIFYING THAT APPROVAL. BUT THE CONTRACT AND THE SCOPE OF THE WORK, NONE OF THAT CHANGED. IT'S JUST THE LEGAL ENTITY NAME THAT WE ENTERED INTO. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? OKAY. THE SECOND ITEM IS FOR SOFTWARE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE PLACER AI. THIS IS A GROUP LOTS OF CITIES ARE DOING WORK WITH, BUT THEY ESSENTIALLY HAVE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE THAT LOOKS AT POPULATION TRENDS AND WHERE THAT TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY GOING. AND SO IT WILL ENABLE US TO DO MORE SPECIFIC RECRUITING AND TARGETING OF POTENTIAL RETAILERS THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY BY SHOWING THE DATA OF WHERE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE GOING, WHETHER IT'S INSIDE OUR COMMUNITY OR OUTSIDE OUR COMMUNITY. AND WE CAN TAKE THAT DATA AND USE IT IN OUR PITCHES TO DIFFERENT RETAILERS. AND THE REASON WHY IT'S A FUNDING AGREEMENT IS BECAUSE BY DOING IT WITH THE CITY AND THE CITY ACTUALLY ENTERING INTO THAT AGREEMENT, MULTIPLE CITY EMPLOYEES CAN USE IT. SO WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THIS DATA ALSO TO TRACK AND MONITOR DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THE CITY, BEYOND JUST THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SCOPE. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE I ASKED MISS GARCIA, TRUSTEE DISTRICT FOUR, TO COME UP, PLEASE WELCOME. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL STAFF AND COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT. I'M PRISMA GARCIA, YOUR DALLAS ISD TRUSTEE, AND I'M INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR SCHOOLS. NOT ONLY ARE WE FOCUSING ON OUR EXISTING CAMPUSES LIKE CENTRAL, EBBY HOLLIDAY, KLEBERG, SEAGOVILLE NORTH, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND OUR HIGH SCHOOL, BUT ALSO BRINGING NEW INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR FAMILIES. TONIGHT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE STATUS OF OUR CURRENT SCHOOLS, AND ALSO A QUICK UPDATE ABOUT THE NEW SEAGOVILLE PK EIGHT TRANSFORMATION SCHOOL.

AND TO WALK US THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, WE HAVE OUR PRESENTER OF THE NIGHT, DALLAS ISD REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR REGION ONE, DOCTOR LAURA GARZA. THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.

WERE YOU ALL GOING TO PRESENT OR I HAVE THE CLICKER OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO WE WANTED TO START WITH THE UPDATES FOR OUR SEAGOVILLE VERTICAL SCHOOLS. AND SO WE'LL START WITH CENTRAL ELEMENTARY WHICH IS ONE OF OUR TOP SCHOOLS IN NOT JUST THE SEAGOVILLE VERTICAL TEAM BUT ALL OF DALLAS ISD. AND SO YOU'LL SEE THEY ARE RATED AN A. WE HAVE EBBY HALLIDAY LAST YEAR OR THE PREVIOUS YEAR, IT ACTUALLY HAD SOME STRUGGLES. WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THAT IT HAS MADE VAST IMPROVEMENTS AND IS NOW CURRENTLY AC. IT MOVED FROM AN

[00:05:05]

AND SO THIS IS BIG FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A B. OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW THAT AND ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE CONTINUING TO SHOW GROWTH.

SEAGOVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, IT IS A C. IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO MAKING THAT B, SO I KNOW OUR PRINCIPAL, MOCKLER, IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUSH OUR STUDENTS FORWARD. AS TRUSTEE GARCIA MENTIONED, WE WANTED TO SHARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS THAT WE SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WANTED TO BRING THAT FORWARD TO YOU. WE HAD A WEBINAR ON OCTOBER 30TH, AND WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT IN THAT WE WANT TO HAVE A TRANSFORMATION SCHOOL. WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO ACADEMIC ENTRY REQUIREMENTS, NO ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY, SINGLE VERTICAL TEAM WILL HAVE PRIORITY FOR THIS SCHOOL. IT'S GOING TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED FOR THESE STUDENTS. IT IS GOING TO BE A PRE-K EIGHT SCHOOL. WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THAT YEAR ONE WILL BE 20, 27, 28. IT WILL BE A PRE-K SIX SCHOOL. AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THE SCHOOLS TO FIRST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FILL THE SPOTS THAT WE HAVE IN YEAR TWO. WE'LL ROLL UP THE SIX, SO IT'LL HAVE A SEVENTH GRADE AND THEN THE THE THIRD YEAR IT'LL HAVE AN EIGHTH GRADE. SO IT WILL BE A PRE-K EIGHT SCHOOL. RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF ACTUALLY MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF TRANSFORMATION SCHOOL IT WILL BE. WE DID LET OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES KNOW THAT IT WILL HAVE A PRIORITY LOTTERY. AGAIN, SIBLINGS WILL HAVE PRIORITY. SEAGOVILLE, NORTH AND KLEBERG ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY. THOSE WILL BE THE FIRST SCHOOLS THAT HAVE PRIORITY BECAUSE THOSE SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW ARE REALLY BUSTING AT THE SEAMS. IF I'M BEING HONEST.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS, AND SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO FIND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE VERTICAL TEAM. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS IN DISTRICT DALLAS ISD. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE BRINGING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR SEAGOVILLE SCHOOLS FIRST, AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE WILL OPEN IT UP FOR OUT OF DISTRICT.

BUT AGAIN, PRIORITY WILL BE OUR SEAGOVILLE STUDENTS. SO WE WANTED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF MODEL DO WE WANT TO BRING TO OUR SEAGOVILLE AREA. AND SO IN THIS MODEL WE'RE WE GAVE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS WHICH ARE LEADERSHIP AND LANGUAGE MODEL OR A STEM COLLEGIATE MODEL. AGAIN, THESE WERE JUST IDEAS. THESE ARE MODELS THAT HAVE WORKED IN DALLAS ISD. BUT WE ARE OPEN TO OTHER IDEAS. AND SO WE DID OPEN THAT UP TO OUR COMMUNITY AND WE ASKED FOR SUGGESTIONS. WE WANTED TO KNOW, DO YOU WANT LEADERSHIP? DO YOU WANT STEM OR STEAM? ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WORLD LANGUAGES OR NEW TECH OR DESIGN THINKING? AND SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE STILL TAKING IDEAS FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE'VE SHARED OUT LINKS WHERE THEY CAN GIVE US IDEAS. WE ALSO WANT TO THINK THROUGH HOW DO WE CONNECT IT TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND OUR HIGH SCHOOL, BECAUSE WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO STAY WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS, WE WANT THEM TO NOT FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO LEAVE TO FIND OPPORTUNITY. WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT IN SEAGOVILLE WE ARE OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM. AND SO THIS IS JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT WE SHARED WITH THEM. AND AGAIN, HERE'S A BITLY. SO IF ANYONE HERE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEIR INPUT, WE ARE OPEN TO THAT. AND WE'RE STILL CONTINUING TO TAKE THAT. WE WANTED TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE DESIGN IS GOING TO BE AND WHAT THE SCHEDULE IS. SO WE'VE HAD COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN NOVEMBER, WHICH IS WE'RE IN IT NOW. WE ARE DOING ENGINEERING SUBMISSIONS BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, THE PERMITS TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO GET THOSE THROUGH. IN DECEMBER AND FEBRUARY, WE HAVE THE GMP ONE AND TWO WITH BOARD APPROVAL IN MARCH 2026. WE'LL HAVE WE'RE

[00:10:08]

THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. OF COURSE IT WOULD HAVE A STATE OF IT WOULD HAVE A GYM, A CAFETERIA AND A KITCHEN WITH SOME CLASSROOMS DOWNSTAIRS AND UPSTAIRS. ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE SPACE FOR VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT FOR THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THAT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT THE DESIGN. IT HASN'T BEEN COMPLETELY SET.

THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. THIS IS A POSSIBILITY OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS MANY OPEN AREAS FOR OUR STUDENTS. AGAIN, HERE IS THE SCHEDULE FOR THE DESIGN COMPLETION. AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU. THANK YOU. DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AM I ALLOWED TO ASK THAT? I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE TRAFFIC BEEN ADDRESSED THERE. HAS THE TRAFFIC BEEN ADDRESSED. THE TRAFFIC IN THERE IS HORRIBLE.

YES. THAT HAS COME UP SEVERAL TIMES AND WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR DESIGNERS.

AND WE ARE TRYING TO SEEK MORE INFORMATION TO SEE HOW WE CAN REALLY HELP WITH THAT FLOW DURING SCHOOL DAYS. NOW, IN THE MORNING, AFTERNOON, SEAGOVILLE ROAD, YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO 175 YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH THERE. PEOPLE PARK IN THE STREETS, KIDS RUNNING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE STREETS. IT'S DANGEROUS FOR THE KIDDOS. YES, THANK YOU. AND WE'LL CERTAINLY TAKE THAT BACK. AND THE STREET THERE NOW IS IN A HORRIBLE PHYSICAL CONDITION. IT NEEDS TO BE RE POURED. THERE'S PATCHES ON TOP OF PATCHES AND ADDING THIS SCHOOL TO IT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A TOTAL NIGHTMARE OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT MR. EPPS. CORNER STARK IN SEAGOVILLE ROAD. THERE'S BEEN MORE ACCIDENTS THERE THAN. THERE. TAKING MY GRANDSON THIS YEAR AND LAST. THE PARKING LOT. OUT THERE AT THE CORNER WHEN CARS ARE TRYING TO GET OUT, JUST STOP SAYING SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED. LIKE A LAP. YEAH. AND I THINK AS THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT THE FLOW, I KNOW ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, AT SCHOOLS THEY'RE CREATING THOSE CAR RIDER LIKE ENTRYWAYS, MAKING SURE THAT WE CREATE ONE THAT IS LARGE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC FROM THE STREET.

AND SO I KNOW THEY'RE THINKING THROUGH WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GET SOME INPUT FROM FROM YOU, MR. EPPS, ARE Y'ALL MOVING AT HIGH SCHOOL? ARE Y'ALL LEAVING THAT THERE? I THINK THE SIGN WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO MOVE BECAUSE THE SCHOOL WILL SIT RIGHT THERE, BUT WE'LL FIND A GOOD HOME FOR IT. GOOD, MISS FERNANDEZ, QUESTION FOR BACK IN THE DAY, IT WAS A MILE RADIUS AND ALL THAT. THAT'S STILL. A. PROBLEM. I MEAN, WE'RE WE'RE A LOT OF KIDS NOT ABLE TO RIDE THE BUS. SO PARENTS HAVE TO PICK UP BY WE HAVE THE CONGESTION WE HAVE AT THE SCHOOL. BECAUSE THEY'RE USING OF WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE. HOLE FOR BUS. YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS A TWO MILE RADIUS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT IS A TRANSFORMATION SCHOOL AND WE ARE OPENING IT UP TO SPECIFICALLY SCHOOLS IN THE AREA, I BELIEVE WE DID MENTION THAT TRANSPORTATION WILL BE PROVIDED, SO THAT MIGHT HELP WITH THAT FLOW OF TRAFFIC. YEAH. AND THEN HOW MANY KIDS IS THIS? WE BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO HOLD 850. IS THAT CORRECT? TRUSTEE. ABOUT 850. IS THAT PK4 OR PK THREE? WE'LL PROBABLY START PRE-K THREE. THREE YEAR OLD. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR. MR.

[00:15:01]

SO THE CITY OF SEAGOVILLE COULD FORM A PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION. AND THE HOUSING CONTEXT, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOSTLY TODAY, THE PURPOSE IS A MEANS TO FINANCE THE COST OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN A COMMUNITY AND REALLY JUST CENTERS AROUND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND HOW HOUSING CAN HELP DRIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITHIN COMMUNITIES. SO THE STATUTORY PURPOSE FOR A PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION IS IT'S BEING FORMED FOR THE PURPOSE OF OWNING AND FINANCING PUBLIC FACILITIES. AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC FACILITY. ONE SUCH ENTITY OR ONE SUCH PUBLIC FACILITY IS A GATED APARTMENT COMPLEX. IT CAN BE CONSIDERED A PUBLIC FACILITY SO LONG AS IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND AVAILABLE ON A NONDISCRIMINATORY BASIS, EXCEPT FOR ITS INCOME SET ASIDES, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE IN JUST A SECOND. ONE THING TO TALK ABOUT HERE IS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. IF YOU WERE TO FORM A PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION, AND I KNOW THAT, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAMILIAR YOU ARE WITH THOSE AROUND THE STATE, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE HAD BAD AND NEGATIVE PRESS. AND ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT IS THAT THEY WERE NOT THE ENTITY THAT FORMED. IT DID NOT KEEP PROPER CONTROL OVER THAT. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO, IF YOU DESIRED, WOULD BE FOR YOURSELVES TO BE THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THAT PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION, WHICH WOULD RETAIN THE CONTROL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PFC WITHIN YOURSELVES, WITHIN THIS DECISION MAKING BODY. ANOTHER REASON FOR DOING THAT IS AFTER THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT REFORM THAT WAS PASSED IN 2023, IF YOU WERE TO APPOINT NON-ELECTED OFFICIALS AS THE BOARD MEMBERS, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE THE PROJECTS WOULD STILL HAVE TO COME TO YOU FOR FOR APPROVAL. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OH, SORRY. OKAY. AND IF ANYONE HAS A QUESTION, PLEASE STOP ME. I'M TRYING TO GO QUICKLY. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE, AND I KNOW IT'S A LOT TO DIGEST, BUT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AS THEY COME TO YOUR MIND. OKAY. SO. THE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE HERE I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DEAL STRUCTURE, BUT REALLY THE PURPOSE IS TO ENTER INTO AN INCENTIVIZE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. SO THE WAY THAT THESE DEALS ARE STRUCTURED TYPICALLY IS THE PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION WILL OWN THE PROJECT AND IT WILL ENTER INTO A LONG TERM LEASE WITH A DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP. AND IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION THAT IS CONFERRED ON THE PROJECT BY THE PFC OWNING IT, THERE WILL BE CERTAIN INCOME AND RENT RESTRICTIONS.

AND THAT'S THE LAST BULLET POINT HERE. IT ALLOWS FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE TAX EXEMPT IF FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, 40% OF THE UNITS ARE RESERVED FOR INDIVIDUALS MAKING 80% OR LESS OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME, AND 10% OF THE UNITS ARE RESERVED FOR FOLKS MAKING LESS THAN 60% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME. AND I HAVE A SLIDE THAT WILL SHOW YOU WHAT THOSE INCOMES LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THOSE RENTS LOOK LIKE. AND SO WHAT THIS DOES IS IT ALLOWS YOU TO PROVIDE SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WORKFORCE HOUSING FOR THE MISSING MIDDLE. AND ALSO YOU HAVE YOU CAN WE CAN NEGOTIATE IN CERTAIN CONTROL RIGHTS OVER DESIGN, MAINTENANCE, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. ANY OTHER CONCERNS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AND ALSO NEGOTIATE IN OTHER PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE OR OTHER PUBLIC BENEFITS THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PROVIDING FOR THE COMMUNITY? THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION USES, HOW COMMUNITIES USE THEM FOR THEIR

[00:20:04]

THEY CAN ISSUE TAX EXEMPT BONDS, WHICH HELPS LOWER THE COST OF FINANCING PROJECTS. AND THAT'S NOT JUST HOUSING THAT IS ANY PUBLIC FACILITY. I HAVE SOME OTHER EXAMPLES DOWN HERE AT THE BOTTOM. THE AUSTIN HILTON AUSTIN HOTEL IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY A PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION, AS IS THE SOCCER, THE TOYOTA FIELD SOCCER FACILITY IN SAN ANTONIO IS ALSO OWNED BY A PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION. THIS IS A LITTLE MORE IN THE WEEDS. WE DON'T HAVE TO GET INTO IT SO MUCH. THE FIRST TWO BULLET POINTS DEAL MORE WITH LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS. THOSE PROJECTS TYPICALLY TARGET FOLKS MAKING LESS THAN 60% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME. THE THIRD BULLET POINT, WHICH IS WHAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, FOR THE 40% AT 80% AND 10% AT 60% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME, THAT'S REALLY KIND OF MORE OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOCUS THAT FOCUSES ON FOLKS WHO ARE KIND OF FIRST RESPONDERS, TEACHERS. A LOT OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS WILL FALL INTO THAT ROLE OR INTO THAT THAT INCOME BRACKET. AND THIS IS A TOOL THAT WE CAN ALLOW THEM TO HAVE HOUSING THAT FITS WITHIN THEIR ECONOMIC MEANS A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLY. SO THE REASON THIS TOOL IS SO POWERFUL IS BECAUSE IT DOES PROVIDE A 100% PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION THAT INCLUDES ALL TAXES, NOT JUST THE CITY TAXES, BUT THE TAXES ACROSS THE ENTIRE BILL THAT THE ENTITY WOULD RECEIVE WITH RESPECT TO MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS, THIS IS THE HIGHEST ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSE. IT'S ABOUT 40 TO 50% OF THOSE OPERATING EXPENSES EVERY YEAR. AND IT'S GROWING. AS WE ALL KNOW, WE ALL HAVE SEEN OUR PROPERTY TAX BILLS ACROSS THE STATE. WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT HAVING GREATER EXPENSES REDUCES A DEVELOPER'S ABILITY TO TO GET THEIR DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING FOR PROJECTS. SO THIS IS A WAY TO HELP INCENTIVIZE THE CREATION OF MORE HOUSING. I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER THIS SLIDE.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ME GOING OVER THIS SLIDE I WILL. THERE'S A LOT OF MATH HERE. BUT THIS IS JUST TO MY PREVIOUS POINT ABOUT THIS, ALLOWING THEM TO ALLOWING A DEVELOPER TO PROPERLY CAPITALIZE A PROJECT AND ACTUALLY GET IT ON THE GROUND. YOU CAN SEE PROJECT A IS PAYING TAXES. THE TOTAL THE TOTAL LOAN THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO GET. THERE IS A $10 MILLION LOAN. PROJECT B, WHICH IS NOT PAYING TAXES. THE TOTAL LOAN IS NEARLY DOUBLE THAT AT 19 MILLION. SO THAT ALLOWS THE PROJECT TO ACTUALLY BE CAPITALIZED AND BUILT. SO TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIND OF THE ROLES AND THE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND RISKS AND THESE PROJECTS, THE DEVELOPER ASSUMES ALL THE FINANCIAL RISKS. THE PFC DOES OWN THE PROJECT, BUT THE DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY THE PFC AND ALSO CARRY INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION. THE DEVELOPER ALSO SIGNS ALL THE GUARANTEES. SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF THE BANKS WANT THE ASSURANCES THAT THE PROJECT'S GOING TO, NUMBER ONE, BE BUILT AND BE SUCCESSFUL. BUT NUMBER TWO, ALSO, THEY'RE GOING TO GET PAID BACK. THE DEVELOPER TAKES ON ALL OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES. THE PFC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THEM.

THEY ALSO ARE THE ONES WHO OPERATE THE PROJECT. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE NEGOTIATE ANY CONCERNS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. WE MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, MAINTENANCE. I KNOW THAT'S TYPICALLY A BIG CONCERN FOR COMMUNITIES. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PROJECTS ARE PROPERLY MAINTAINED. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING HERE THAT WE WOULD NEGOTIATE ON YOUR BEHALF. BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THAT. THAT WILL NOT FALL BACK ON THE PFC. THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. THIS JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE THE FOLKS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO TO LIVE HERE. NOW, REMEMBER AGAIN, HALF OF THIS IS INCOME AND RENT RESTRICTED. SO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THEN HALF OF IT IS UNRESTRICTED. SO ANYONE CAN LIVE THERE. AND THOSE UNITS CAN BE RENTED OUT AT ANY AMOUNT THAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR. BUT HERE YOU CAN SEE I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THOSE INCOMES LOOK LIKE. SO THE TOP ONE IS THE INCOME. SO IN ORDER TO QUALIFY AS A 60% AMI HOUSEHOLD FOR A FOUR PERSON FAMILY, YOU WOULD BE MAKING $70,000, $70,380. AND FOR AN 80% HOUSEHOLD, YOU'D BE MAKING 93,840. AND THEN THE BOTTOM

[00:25:09]

THAT'S JUST TO GIVE YOU. AND THIS IS FOR THE DALLAS AREA. THESE ARE SET BY HUD. AND THE STATUTE REQUIRES THAT THAT THE DEVELOPERS FOLLOW THE HUD. THE HUD, INCOME AND RENTS BENEFITS.

AGAIN THIS IS THESE ARE CLASS A APARTMENTS. THEY'RE GOING TO BE WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER LUXURY APARTMENTS THAT ARE BUILT WITH THESE PROGRAMS. THEY HAVE ALL THE AMENITIES, YOU KNOW, INCREDIBLY NICE COMMON FACILITIES, GYM, ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN THINK OF THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO LIVE TO HAVE AT THEIR FINGERTIPS. IT ALSO ALLOWS THE UNDER THE FIRST BULLET POINT, THE THIRD DASH DOWN. WITH THE TAX EXEMPTION, YOU CAN FINANCE COSTS AND OTHER AMENITIES THAT WOULD ALLOW ALSO FOR CERTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE. IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE THAT BE ONE OF THE THE ISSUES OR ONE OF THE THE, THE THINGS THAT WE NEGOTIATE IN WOULD BE WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT THAT IN THERE BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION, THE FINANCIAL RETURN IS IMPORTANT. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT DOESN'T REALLY GET TALKED ABOUT A LOT WITH THESE PROJECTS. SO IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION, YOU NOT ONLY HAVE THE AFFORDABILITY, BUT ALSO THERE ARE FEES THAT WOULD BE PAID TO THE PFC, THAT THEN THAT MONEY YOU COULD DIRECT, SO LONG AS IT'S USED FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE, IT CAN BE DIRECTED TO SOMETHING THAT THE CITY NEEDS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CITY OF CIBOLO USED THEIRS TO BUY A NEW FIRE TRUCK. CITY OF SAN ANTONIO USES THEIRS FOR ADDITIONAL AFFORDABILITY. SO TO HELP PROJECTS HAVE MORE DEEPLY AFFORDABLE UNITS. BUT SO IF YOU DECIDE TO DO A PROJECT LIKE THIS, WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT THOSE FEES ARE, BUT WE TRY TO MAXIMIZE THE PUBLIC BENEFIT, THE PUBLIC RETURN. AND ONE OF THE WAYS WE DO THAT IS THROUGH THE PAYMENT OF FEES TO THE CITY. I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT WE ALSO NEGOTIATE IN ANY CONCERNS YOU MIGHT HAVE. SO IF THERE'S DESIGN CONCERNS OR DENSITY OR OTHER TYPES OF, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO SEE, WE CAN DEFINITELY NEGOTIATE THOSE IN AS WELL. OKAY. SO ALL THE GOOD STUFF, WHAT'S THE BAD STUFF. SO THE RISKS ARE ARE LIMITED. OF COURSE THIS IS A REAL ESTATE DEAL. REAL ESTATE IS RISKY. SO YOU MIGHT NOT MAKE THE THE PAYMENTS THAT WE ASK THEM TO MAKE. THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THEM BECAUSE THE PROJECT IS UNSUCCESSFUL, BUT YOU HAVE NO INVESTMENT IN THE PROJECT. YOU DIDN'T COME OUT OF POCKET, YOU DIDN'T PURCHASE THE PROJECT, YOU OWN THE PROJECT, BUT THEY PAID FOR IT. IF THEY FORECLOSE ON THE PROJECT, THE PFC COULD BE REMOVED AND YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROJECT. BUT AT THAT POINT IN TIME, BECAUSE YOU'RE NO LONGER THE OWNER, IT GOES BACK ON THE TAX ROLL AND PAYS TAXES TO THE CITY. YOU CAN GET SUED. AND THAT HAS HAPPENED. I REPRESENT FCS AND HFCS ACROSS THE STATE. I HAVE HAD A HANDFUL THAT HAVE GOTTEN SUED, AND EVERY INSTANCE DEVELOPERS HAVE PROVIDED THE REQUISITE INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION, AND THE FCS HAVE NOT BEEN LIABLE FOR ANYTHING. AND THEN FINALLY, BECAUSE IT IS A POLITICAL BODY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, THE SAME AS YOU ARE HERE AT CITY COUNCIL. AND SO PEOPLE CAN SHOW UP AND CAN VOICE THEIR OPINIONS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AS WELL. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I'LL HAVE A QUESTION. SURE.

KNOW A LOT OF CITIES BEEN HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES BETWEEN THIS FCS AND HFCS, CORRECT? CORRECT. YES. SO THE ISSUE THAT WE HAD THAT I NOTICED OUT OF BROWNSVILLE, THE HFCS ARE KIND OF LIKE THE FCS. SO CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH OF THEM? BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF CITIES ARE WORRIED ABOUT HFCS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GETTING TAXES LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, AM I CORRECT? CORRECT. SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE PROBABLY REFERRING TO, THE ONE THAT'S OUT OF THE VALLEY, THE CAMERON COUNTY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. SO HFCS AND FCS ARE VERY, VERY SIMILAR IN THAT THEY CAN ISSUE BONDS. THEY'RE QUASI GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES THAT ACT ON BEHALF OF CITIES, COUNTIES, ETC. AND THEY PROVIDE THE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION. THE ISSUE THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO WAS THAT THE WAY THAT THE STATUTE WAS WRITTEN FOR HFCS, WHICH ARE UNDER DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, IT WAS NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR THAT THE HFCS WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE ACTING WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR SPONSOR. SO CAMERON COUNTY, THEIR LAWYERS, TOOK THE VIEW THAT BECAUSE THIS LAW WASN'T VERY CLEAR, THAT THEY COULD GO AND THEY COULD DO PROJECTS ANYWHERE IN THE STATE. SO CAMERON COUNTY CAME INTO DALLAS, IT CAME INTO SAN ANTONIO. THERE WAS A HANDFUL OF HFCS THAT EXPLOITED THIS SO-CALLED LOOPHOLE. I DON'T REPRESENT ANY

[00:30:01]

SO THAT IS NOT HAPPENING ANYMORE. NOW, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT HFCS CAN ONLY OPERATE WITHIN THEIR SPONSOR'S JURISDICTIONS. THE PFC, WE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH KIND OF A ROGUE PFC IN THE PRIOR LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN THE 88TH. THAT STATUTE WAS AMENDED IN 2023 TO MAKE SURE THAT FCS CAN ONLY OPERATE WITHIN THEIR AREA. SO YOU, AS A PFC, COULD NOT GO DO A DEAL IN MANSFIELD OR IN LEWISVILLE OR IN SAN ANTONIO. RIGHT? SO YOU WOULD ONLY THAT HOW IT WOULD AFFECT YOU WOULD BE THAT YOU WOULD BE LIMITED TO DOING DEALS HERE. BUT BECAUSE YOU FORM A PFC DOESN'T MEAN THAT ANOTHER PFC CAN COME IN. RIGHT. EVERYBODY NOW KIND OF HAS TO PLAY IN THEIR OWN SANDBOX. GOTCHA. OKAY. SO THAT'S CONSIDERED TO BE THE NOT VERY NICE APARTMENTS THAT ARE QUOTE UNQUOTE LUXURY APARTMENTS, RIGHT? THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, HAVE ALL THE AMENITIES. THEY'RE NEW, THEY'RE MAINTAINED. WELL, THAT IS A IT'S A TERM OF ART WITHIN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY THAT'S USED TO DESCRIBE APARTMENTS THAT ARE VERY DESIRABLE TO LIVE IN. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. CLASS C WOULD BE MAYBE AN OLDER PROPERTY THAT NEEDS A LITTLE LOVE, FOR EXAMPLE. YES. THESE ARE NOT TAXABLE. THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE STILL REQUIRE THE SERVICES OF THE CITY POLICE FIRE WATER IN THAT A DETRIMENT TO THE CITY. SO THAT'S WHERE THE FEES THAT COME IN THAT WE REQUIRE THEM, WE WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO PAY AS A PART OF THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PFC. WE WOULD TRY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE, IN FACT, RECEIVING THE AMOUNT THAT YOU HAD TO SPEND TO SERVICE THE PROPERTY. OKAY. IS THERE A TIME LIMIT? HOWEVER LONG THIS. SO. IT'S THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. AND IT'S A KIND OF A NUANCED ANSWER. SO WITH RESPECT TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS, THE TAX EXEMPTION IS VALID FOR 60 YEARS. THAT'S STATUTORY 66 ZERO. YES. AND THEY CAN RENEW IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 60 FOR EXISTING PROJECTS. IF YOU WERE TO TAKE AN EXISTING PROJECT AND PULL IT OFF THE TAX ROLLS, WHICH THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WITH RESPECT TO THAT. IF YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THAT PATH, THAT'S ONLY 30 YEARS AND IT HAS A 30 YEAR EXEMPTION OR A 30 YEAR RENEWAL.

HOWEVER, CERTAINLY, LIKE I SAID, EVERYTHING'S VERY FLEXIBLE. SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. I WILL TELL YOU THAT IF YOU START LIMITING THAT TAX EXEMPTION, THAT IT GETS HARD FOR A BANK TO FINANCE THAT. SO TYPICALLY SPEAKING, THOSE LEASES THAT WE ENTER INTO ARE ABOUT 75 YEARS. THAT'S WHAT A BANK REALLY WOULD REQUIRE FOR IT TO BE FINANCEABLE. THAT WILL DEPEND ON AGAIN, KIND OF BY THE BANK AND BY THE DEAL AS TO WHAT THEY'RE COMFORTABLE DOING. BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, THEY'RE GOING TO EXPECT AN EXEMPTION THAT WOULD BE THE FULL 60 YEARS IN ORDER TO FINANCE THE PROJECT. FINANCING CAPITAL. APARTMENT OR WHATEVER. CORRECT. AND THEN AN ANNUAL FEE AND THEN AND YEAH, THERE WOULD BE AN ANNUAL RENT PAYMENT, AND THAT'S TO COUNCIL MEMBER MCGILL'S QUESTION. SO WE WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO RECOUP AS MUCH OF THAT AS WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY IS NOT IN A WORSE POSITION FOR HAVING THIS. BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASPECTS OF BRINGING MORE FAMILIES INTO THE AREA. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEP.

I SEE YOU GOT A QUESTION. NO, NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE DONE.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE, MISS GAIL FRENCH. GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER. EVERYONE, THIS IS A PRESENTATION OF OUR FISCAL YEAR END 2025 FINANCIALS. I'LL JUMP RIGHT INTO IT. SO THESE ARE OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR END. WE'RE AT 18,000,463 NINE 8786, WHICH 50% OF OUR REVENUES COME FROM

[00:35:02]

OUR BUILDING PERMITS WERE UP THIS FISCAL YEAR BY $177,886. OUR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES BY DEPARTMENTS, OUR GENERAL GOVERNMENT. CAN'T SEE WAY UP THERE. WELL, HOLD ON, GENERAL GOVERNMENT. 2,033,940. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CAME IN AT 2,281,588. COMMUNITY SERVICES, 2,071,051 AND PUBLIC SAFETY $9,261,512. AND THOSE ARE. DEPARTMENTS. THE DEPARTMENTS LISTED UNDERNEATH. THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF OUR ONGOING EXPENDITURES AT THE TOP, OUR BUDGET VERSUS ACTUAL. AND WE'RE ALMOST AT 100% OF USING WHAT WE BUDGETED. THE ONES BELOW ARE THE ONE TIME PROJECTS, AND SOME OF THEM THAT DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET BESIDE THEM.

THEY WERE EMERGENCIES OR OR ARE FUNDED THROUGH A DIFFERENT WAY, AND WE WILL HAVE BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR THOSE NEXT OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF ALL THE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. OUR REVENUES CAME IN AT 111%, AND OUR EXPENDITURES ARE AT 99.9. AND WE ARE STILL RECEIVING INVOICES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR END, LIKE I SAID. SO WE'LL MOST LIKELY WILL COME TO YOU WITH OUR NEXT AT OUR NEXT MEETING TO DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT. THIS IS OUR WATER AND SEWER REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. OUR REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES ARE SLIGHTLY BELOW BUDGET. I KNOW IN OUR EXPENDITURES THAT SOME OF THE PROJECTS WERE MOVED FROM FISCAL YEAR 2025 TO 2026, IN OUR BUDGET. THIS IS JUST A CHART REPRESENTING THE WATER AND SEWER REVENUES. THIS ONE IS TINY. SO THIS IS ALL OF OUR OTHER FUNDS, INCLUDING OUR SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, OUR DEBT SERVICE AND OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS. AND I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT OUR CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS FOR THE YEAR WHERE THE ANIMAL SHELTER, THE SIMON'S ROAD PROJECT, AND THE POLICE STATION, THOSE WERE THE THE MAJOR ONES. THE NEXT SLIDE IS OUR CASH BALANCES FOR OUR MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT, OPERATING ACCOUNT AND OUR INVESTMENT ACCOUNT. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE SITTING AT 19,871,000. AND MOST OF OUR MONEY IS AT TECH STAR BECAUSE OF THE INTEREST RATES ARE HIGHER. WE WE RECEIVE MORE INTEREST FROM FROM THEM. AND THEN OUR OPERATING ACCOUNTS ARE AT AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK. AND THEN OUR TAX POOL HAS OTHER INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS. AND THE LAST SLIDE IS THE EDC CASH POSITION AND THE FINANCIAL RESERVE. AND I WENT THROUGH THAT QUICKLY. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. NO. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX DISCUSS REGULAR SESSION AGENDA ITEMS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? NONE. RIGHT NOW I HAVE NONE RIGHT NOW. WELL THAT MOVES US TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 710 AND WE'LL RECONVEN POINTS I THINK HE'S FULL OF CRAP FOR COINS. CHALLENGE COINS. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE. OH, YEAH, YOU

[Public Hearing]

[00:55:02]

MR. MEDINA, WILL YOU? YOU'RE HERE. THANK YOU. MAYOR. GOOD EVENING. OH. I'LL CHANGE IT A LOT. IS IT RIGHT NOW? 7:36 P.M. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU ALL. SO THIS IS ITEM 20 AS YOU READ, MAYOR, THIS IS A PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING GREENWALD PLAN DEVELOPMENT. IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE ON YOUR SCREEN HERE, BUT IT'S THIS PROPERTY, 89 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES AT THE DEAD END OF ALTO ROAD. THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE OUTLINED IN RED HERE. THIS IS JUST NORTHEAST OF CASA GRANDE. AND WE'LL ACTUALLY CONTINUE DOWN. THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE THOSE GREATER LOTS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN THERE. JUST FOR REFERENCE, HERE'S A ZONING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS AREA IS LARGELY ENGAGED IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THAT IS THE ORANGE, WHICH IS OUR FIVE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. AND THEN THE BLUE ON YOUR SCREEN IS ACTUALLY PD OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. AND THOSE ARE ALL PD ZONED FOR RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS JUST A QUICK NOTE ACROSS THE STREET HERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF FARMERS AND ALTO, THAT WAS THE DATA CENTER SITE THAT HAD BEEN REZONED.

IT'S JUST NOT UPDATED CLEARLY ON OUR MAP. BUT JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE, THAT'S THE HUERTA TRACK, THE HORSE RACE TRACK ACROSS THE STREET. SO I DO HAVE A TABLE HERE OR A LIST OF HOW THE PD IS BEING AMENDED JUST TO KIND OF HELP REALLY EXPLAIN THE INFORMATION HERE, BECAUSE THERE IS QUITE A BIT A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND HERE. THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT ORDINANCES. THIS WAS BACK IN APRIL, ON APRIL 19TH, 2021, AND THEN WAS AMENDED ON MAY 16TH, 2026. THAT AMENDMENT WAS TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY AND MAKE IT LARGER. WHAT THE DEVELOPER WAS IS APPROVED FOR. ON THE GROUND TODAY IS 331 TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNITS, AS WELL AS 75 COTTAGE UNITS. THOSE ARE BASICALLY KIND OF LIKE TOWNHOMES OR JUST SMALLER DWELLING UNITS ON SMALLER LOTS.

THE THE TARGET FOR THOSE HOUSES ARE TO SUPPORT AND HOUSE A LOT OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED. IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS MOVED FORWARD WITH ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS, AS YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A MINUTE, IS TO ALLOW FOR A CHANGE IN HOUSING AND FLOOR PLAN TO HAVE LARGER FLOOR PLAN AND THE MASTER BEDROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT. SO AS THE ORDINANCE EXISTS TODAY. SO TO TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY AND WHAT WHAT'S ALLOWED TODAY, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COTTAGE SECTION IS GATED.

THOSE GATES ARE BEING REMOVED. MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS THE APPLICANT IS ALSO SEEKING A PIT AND A TOURS, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECT WOULD BE PIT ELIGIBLE, ALL OF THE AMENITIES HAVE TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO ANYBODY THAT LIVES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY INCREASED THE AMENITIES. SO THAT WAY THERE'S MORE TO OFFER TO THE PEOPLE THAT DECIDE TO LIVE HERE AND IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THE ORIGINAL PD, THAT IS ORDINANCE TEN, 20, 21 AND 13 2022. THERE WAS NO BASE ZONING IDENTIFIED FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY. SO THAT ACTUALLY MAKES IT VERY TRICKY. SO WE TALK ABOUT WANTING TO SET STANDARDS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. IN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT, THERE WAS NO SET BASE ZONING, WHICH CREATED A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR THE DEVELOPER TO BUILD HOUSES AND STAFF TO ACTUALLY REVIEW THOSE PLANS, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REVIEW IT AGAINST. AND IF WE DID, IT WAS VERY MINIMAL. THERE WAS A LOT WITH A 50. THE LOT DEPTH IN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT WAS NOT OUTLINED, MEANING AS LONG AS THEY MET THEIR SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENTS, THEY COULD COME IN WITH A REALLY SHORT LOT AS LONG AS THEY MET THEIR WIDTH, WHICH COULD CREATE SOME REALLY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO REVIEW THESE PLANS. THEY ALSO HAD AN INITIAL FRONT YARD SETBACK OF 21FT. AS AS YOU'RE AWARE, OUR MINIMUM SETBACK IS 30FT. SO IT WAS IT WAS SUBSTANDARD AND SUB BELOW WHAT WAS REQUIRED IN OUR MINIMUM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

AND THEN A MINIMUM REAR YARD OF 5% OF THE LOT DEPTH OR TEN FEET, WHICH IS PRETTY STANDARD. AND WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TODAY, AGAIN, IS TO OPEN UP THOSE AMENITIES FOR THAT WAY.

SO THAT WAY, THE ENTIRE ENTIRETY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD COULD ENJOY AND UTILIZE THESE AMENITIES, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO SHORTLY, BUT ALSO SET AN ACTUAL LOT DEPTH OF 115FT. SPEAKING

[01:00:06]

REGARDING DRAINAGE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE DRAINAGE. SO IF IT'S DESIGNED UP FRONT TO ALLOW FOR THIS HEAVIER LOT COVERAGE SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE FROM THE ENGINEERING AND WATER STANDPOINT. THERE WERE ALSO NO ANTI MONOTONY STANDARDS. AND BY THAT IT'S IT'S THAT FEELING. AND LOOK WHEN YOU GO INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ELEVATIONS ON THE SAME BLOCK. YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ELEVATIONS RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. AND IT'S JUST THE COPY OF COPY OF A COPY OF A HOUSE. MR. ROBBIE HALE AND HIS TEAM WERE HAPPY TO OBLIGE AND ACTUALLY PUT IN HERE STANDARDS THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED THOSE RESTRICTIONS THEY PUT ON THEMSELVES TO NOT ALLOW MORE THAN THE SAME ELEVATION WITHIN EVERY SIX HOMES. SO THAT WAY YOU KIND OF HAVE A SEPARATION. YOU HAVE DIFFERENT HOMES ON THE SAME BLOCK. NOW, THIS ITEM HERE. REGARDING BUILDING MATERIALS, THERE ARE NO STANDARDS IN THE EXISTING DOCUMENT. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO HAVE IMPROVED MASONRY STANDARDS.

STATE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW US TO ENFORCE STONE AND MASONRY AND ZONING. BUT THE NEXT ITEM IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN WHICH THEY WOULD PUT IN STONE MASONRY STANDARDS. SO WHILE I CAN'T PUT IT IN THE ZONING, I FEEL LIKE IT'S WORTH SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AND AT LEAST BE AWARE OF THAT. HE HAS INTENTIONS TO DO BRICK AND STONE AND IS WILLING TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT, ADDING AS MUCH LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS ARE. LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS ARE THEY'RE NOT AS ROBUST AS SOME OF THESE OTHER CITIES. HOWEVER, MR. ROBBIE HILL WAS WILLING TO ADD ADDITIONAL TREES AND SHRUBS AND MASONRY LANDSCAPING BEDS TO ALL OF THE SINGLE FAMILY TRADITIONAL HOMES. SO WE HAVE SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT IN THE DOCUMENT, BUT YOU'LL SEE THE, LIKE THE BRICK OR STONE MASONRY WALL IN FRONT OF EACH HOUSE. SO THAT WAY EVERYBODY HAS THIS NICE FLOWER BED THAT MATCHES THE HOME KIND OF REALLY SET IT, SET IT UP A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, SCALE. THE ORIGINAL AMENITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT WERE REALLY VAGUE. THEY CALLED OUT PONDS IN SEVERAL INSTANCES, BUT PONDS ARE TYPICALLY JUST FOR DRAINAGE. THEY MAY LOOK NICE, BUT AS FAR AS AMENITIES GOES, IT'S IT'S IT'S NOT AS AS HIGH AS WE WOULD LIKE TO TO RECEIVE FOR OUR RESIDENTS. SO WHAT IS NOW BEING PROPOSED ARE PLAYGROUNDS AT TWO LOCATIONS, A TOTAL OF FIVE PICKLEBALL COURTS, A HALF BASKETBALL COURT, A WALKING TRAIL, A A 2000 SQUARE FOOT AMENITY CENTER, AS WELL AS A 2000 SQUARE FOOT POOL AND DECK AREA. AGAIN, THESE ARE AMENITIES THAT WILL BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOA. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN. TO CONTINUE ON, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE COTTAGE TRACKS LOOK LIKE AND OR THAT COTTAGE TRACK. SO AGAIN, AS WITH THE SINGLE FAMILY, THERE WAS NO BASE ZONING, SO IT MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. IF THEY WERE TO HAVE SUBMITTED BUILDING PERMITS ON THIS, IT'D BE I'D HAVE TO BE PROBABLY IN VICTORIA'S OFFICE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO. SO THIS HELPS CLEAN THAT UP. THIS HELPS GIVE US A COMPASS TO GO BY WHEN WE'RE REVIEWING THESE PLANS. SO THEY'VE SELECTED A BASE ZONING OF MULTIFAMILY TO ALLOW FOR THAT HIGHER DENSITY. THE COTTAGE FRONT YARD SETBACK WAS PREVIOUSLY ONLY 18FT. WE'VE ASKED THEM TO BUMP IT UP AS MUCH AS HE COULD. HE SAID HE CAN GET US 20. THE FRONT WIDTH WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AND THE DEPTH WAS NOT IDENTIFIED HERE. HE'S AT LEAST SAYING WE CAN DO 40 AND 90. GUEST PARKING WAS NOT SPECIFIED. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A TYPO OR AN ERROR IN THAT IN THAT DEVELOPMENT. I MEAN, THE ORIGINAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT AT .25 PERCENT PER DWELLING UNIT, WHICH ACTUALLY ONLY COMES UP TO LIKE A COUPLE OF PARKING SPACES IS WAS NOT

[01:05:04]

ADDITIONALLY, WORKING WITH ZION, OUR FIRE MARSHAL, AND MR. ROBBIE HALE AND CHRIS RYAN, THE APPLICANT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE STRIPING THE STREETS WHERE THE COTTAGES ARE AS FIRE LANES, SO THAT WAY THEY WILL. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ON STREET PARKING CLOGGING UP THESE STREETS. IF YOU WERE TO DRIVE AROUND THE METROPLEX, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THESE OTHER HIGHER DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE NARROW STREETS. AND THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE PARKING IN THE STREET, AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES TO GET IN AND OUT. SO THIS WHOLE AREA WILL BE MARKED OFF AS A FIRE LANE TO PREVENT THAT. AND THEN LET'S SEE NUMBER 19 HERE. STREET LAMPS. THERE WEREN'T REALLY ANY ANY STANDARDS. MR. ROBBIE HILL IS PROPOSING TO DO ANTIQUE STYLE STREET LAMPS AS WELL AS COACH LAMPS ON ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY TRADITIONAL TRACK HOMES. THERE ARE 500FT, 600, 600. SO HERE IS THE UPDATED CONCEPT PLAN. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE. YOU DO HAVE A COPY OF THIS IN YOUR PACKET. THAT DARKER SHADED AREA IN THE CORNER ON THE TOP LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN THERE, THAT'S THE COTTAGE TRACT AND YOU CAN SEE IN RED IN THE TOWARDS THE CENTER IS WHERE THAT AMENITY FACILITY IS GOING TO BE. AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE SOME OFF STREET PARKING OR ON STREET PARKING THAT'S TUCKED AWAY NEXT TO THE STREET. JUST SO THAT WAY THERE'S PEOPLE. THERE'S A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE TO THE AMENITY CENTER, TO VISIT THEIR FRIENDS WITHOUT HAVING TO PARK IN THE STREET AND CAUSE A TRAFFIC ISSUE. OVER HERE ON THE LEFT, ALONG THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN IS ACTUALLY ALTO ROAD. THAT'S YOU'LL SEE FOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS AND SOME OPEN SPACE AND A PLAYGROUND. AND I'M GOING TO WALK OVER HERE AND YOU'LL SEE THOSE SEVERAL LOTS THAT I HAD MENTIONED THAT WERE ON CUL DE SACS THAT THE DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING, THAT 25 FOOT SETBACK, AS OPPOSED TO 30, WHICH HE'S INSTALLING IN THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

KIND OF RUNNING OUT OF SPACE HERE. HERE'S KIND OF A RENDERING OF THAT COTTAGE DEVELOPMENT, A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER PICTURES KIND OF GET YOU A FEEL FOR HOW THE SITE WOULD FUNCTION. YOU HAVE ACCESS OFF OF WHAT WILL BE LASSETER ROAD. SOMETHING ELSE TO MENTION IS THE DEVELOPER WILL BE BUILDING TWO LANES ON LAHSER ROAD WITH A SIDEWALK, AS WELL AS TWO LANES WITH A SIDEWALK ALONG ALTO ROAD THAT'S DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SITE.

FURTHERMORE, IN THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TOO MUCH NOW, BUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, MR. ROBBIE HILLS ALSO AGREED TO EXTEND OR REBUILD ALTO ROAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH FARMERS, SO THAT WAY THERE'S ADEQUATE ACCESS FOR THE SITE. HERE'S SOME ELEVATIONS. THESE ARE EXAMPLE ELEVATIONS OF THE PROPOSED COTTAGE UNITS. I'LL LET MR. ROBBIE ANSWER THAT, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY'D BE FOR SALE. KIND OF LIKE A CONDO REGIME. AND HERE YOU CAN SEE FLOOR PLAN NUMBER ONE IS 1700 SQUARE FEET, ALMOST 1800 SQUARE FEET, WITH THAT PRIMARY BEDROOM BEING ON THE FIRST FLOOR. ELEVATION TWO. 1950 NINE SQUARE FEET. PRIMARY BEDROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WITH A BACK PATIO AND A FRONT PORCH. OVER 2000FT■.

AND THIS MIGHT BE SOME OF THE PRODUCT THAT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH. SEEING ROBBIE HALE PRODUCE, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN TREDWAY ESTATES AND AROUND SEAGOVILLE AND OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. NOW, THIS ELEVATION HERE, WHILE IT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF LIKE A CONCEPT OF WHAT WOULD BE BUILT, KEEP IN MIND THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD REQUIRE THE COACH LAMPS IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE, AS WELL AS A STONE MASONRY FLOWER BED RIGHT HERE SO IT WOULD BE RAISED UP. HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE. AGAIN, JUST TRY TO IMAGINE YOU'D HAVE COACH LAMPS.

YOU'D HAVE KIND OF THOSE A LITTLE BIT NICER TOUCHES SUCH AS THAT IMPROVED LANDSCAPE FLOWER BED. I'LL I'LL ANSWER THAT I'M NOT SURE. SO LET ME GO BACK HERE, MAKE SURE I TOUCH ON EVERYTHING. JUST GOOD. SO MEETING WITH THE DEVELOPER OVER THE PAST YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF

[01:10:10]

THIS IS JUST. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PRETTY MUCH A DUPLICATION OF WHAT WE GOT IN TOWN RIGHT NOW. I YOU CAN DISAGREE ALL YOU WANT TO, BUT YOU AND I THINK YOU MISSED A FEW PICTURES BECAUSE THE ONES I SAW THAT WAS SENT TO US IN A PACKET, IT SHOWED SOME OF THOSE HOMES HAD NO WINDOWS ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR. YOU HAD A GARAGE DOOR AND AN ENTRY DOOR. SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, I HAD IT. I LOOKED AT IT AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. SO IT'S THE SAME THING I DID TO US. AND OFF STREET PARKING. YOU ONLY GOT TWO PLACES TO PARK, TWO CARS YOU CAN'T PARK FOUR IN THAT DRIVEWAY 30FT LONG. WON'T DO IT. ANY OTHER COMMENT? WHY DID THE STREETS ON THESE? SO FOR THE LOCAL STREETS THAT'S 31FT BACK OCCUR BACK OF CURB. THE COTTAGE STREET WILL BE 62 WIDE. BUT TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THAT MORE NARROWER STREET, NO ON STREET PARKING IS ALLOWED TO BE FIRE LANE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH FAMILIES THAT GOT MORE THAN TWO VEHICLES? WE GOT CODE ENFORCEMENT GOING AROUND TOWN NOW, WRITING NOTICES AND AND CITATIONS FOR PEOPLE PARKING IN THE YARD BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PLACE TO PARK, NO PLACE TO PARK.

YOU GOT YOU GOT TWO PLACES TO PARK OFF THE STREET AND THAT'S IT. OTHERWISE YOU GET OUR STREETS ARE LINED WITH CARS NOW. GARAGES ARE ONLY 20FT DEEP. YOU CAN'T PUT MOST OF TODAY'S VEHICLES. WE WENT THROUGH STONEHAVEN UP THERE. WE HAD A PICKUP IN HIS GARAGE. DOOR WAS PULLED DOWN, DOORS RESTING ON THE TOP OF THE THE REAR BUMPER, 20FT. YOU CAN'T PARK THESE 18 19 FOOT VEHICLES, PICK UP TRUCKS, SUVS, VANS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THEY WON'T FIT IN A 20 FOOT GARAGE. WE'RE JUST PERPETUATING THE PROBLEM WE HAVE THAT WE'VE BEEN APPROVING ALL OVER TOWN. WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM A HIGHER CONSTRUCTION. WE USED TO HAVE A COMMENT. NOW, MY ONE CONCERN I DO HAVE GO BACK TO THE STREET LAYOUT. IT'S ABOUT WOODSIDE COUNCIL MEMBER.

I'M TALKING ABOUT KINGSTON. IT'S GOING TO HAVE A STOP AT RIO VISTA. AS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO. SURE. SO RIGHT NOW WITH THE CIVIL PLANS THAT WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD IF THERE ARE STOP SIGNS AT THAT LOCATION, I KNOW THAT THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES LIKE SPEED HUMPS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HOWEVER, VICTORIA, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT WITH THE ADOPTION OF THIS PD, COULD THEY ALSO REQUIRE STOP SIGNS AT CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS IN THEIR MOTION? WHAT ABOUT SPEED HUMPS OR TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES? OKAY. SPEED HUMPS, ARE THEY GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? YES, ABSOLUTELY. YEP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME WHILE I'M UP HERE, SIR? THANK YOU, THANK YOU BILL. SPEED BUMPS. I NEED THEM. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ROBBIE HALE WITH SHEPHERD PLACE HOMES INCORPORATED. I'M THE PRESIDENT AND OWNER. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR YOUR TIME. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I WOULD FIRST LIKE, SAY WE WORK

[01:15:02]

IF SPEED BUMPS ARE AN OPTION, WE COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT. AS A DEVELOPER. HOW? COMES CONCERN IN SELLING? I THINK IT'S JUST AN AGGRAVATION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK ANY SALE. I CERTAINLY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN I HIT IT IN. MY HEAD FLIES UP TO THE TOP OF THE CAR. BUT YOU DO NOTICE THEM AFTER THAT. BUT THAT'S RESPECTFULLY, WE WANT IT TO BE A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THAT RESPECT. AS FAR AS THE COTTAGE TRACKS, WE HAD 70 SOME ODD UNITS APPROVED, HAVE 70 SOME ODD UNITS APPROVED FOR THIS TRACK. I MYSELF, YOU SAW THE WAY I STUMBLED UP HERE. I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT THE MASTER OR PRIMARY BEDROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR. I WANT IT ON THE FIRST FLOOR. AND THOSE UNITS WOULD BE FOR SALE, NOT FOR RENT. IT'S MORE OF AN EMPTY NESTER. WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM NOW? DINKS. DOUBLE INCOME, NO KIDS PROJECT.

SORRY. NOW THOSE LOTS WON'T BE LIKE ZERO LOT HOMES WHERE THE HOA TAKES CARE OF THE FRONT YARD AND ALL THAT. NO, THEY'RE A LEGAL DESCRIPTION. LOT AND BLOCK. THAT'S ALL. I HAVE. ANY OTHER QUESTION? YEAH. I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD WANT SPEED BUMPS IN THERE BECAUSE WE GOT EXPENSIVE FIRE TRUCKS THAT HAVE TO COME DOWN THROUGH THERE. AND I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO HAVE TO STOP AT A SPEED BUMP OR TEAR UP THE ENGINE TO GET TO WHERE THEY GOT TO GO. SO I DEFINITELY I PREFER NOT TO HAVE ANY SPEED BUMPS. NOW, IF YOU WANT STOP SIGNS, I'M OKAY WITH THAT. BUT NOT NO SPEED BUMPS BECAUSE OUR TRUCKS ARE. MOST FIRE TRUCKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. I UNDERSTAND, SIR, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. ANY OTHER. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. DOES ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? IF YOU WOULD, IT'S YOUR TIME TO COME TO THE FRONT. SEEING NOBODY, I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AT 7:58 P.M. DID I HEAR A MOTION OR REQUEST? MAYOR, I MOVE, WE APPROVE.

AGENDA ITEM 20. GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20. AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED. THREE. TWO. BACK TO REGULAR AGENDA. DISCUSS A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE

[ Regular Agenda]

SO THE CITY'S 75% OF THE NEW TAXES GENERATED FROM THE PROJECT WOULD GO INTO THE TRS FUND AND WOULD REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER OR, EXCUSE ME, WOULD BE FUNDED AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT TO THE DEVELOPER UP TO 2.925. SO TWO $2,925,000. THE REASON FOR DOING THAT GRANT IS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ALTO ROAD. THEY ARE REQUIRED UNDER A THOROUGHFARE PLAN TO DO LASSITER AND ALTO ROAD ALONG THEIR PROJECT BOUNDARIES. BUT

[01:20:05]

THIS IS BETWEEN THE LEVEE AND THE CITY LIMITS. THIS IS MAINLY IN THE KAUFMAN COUNTY AREA GOING TOWARD THE AROUND THE CORNER THERE. YES, SIR. AND IT WOULD BE IN THE. IT'S ALL IN THE LANE COMING BACK TO SEAGOVILLE. YEAH, YEAH. NO, I UNDERSTAND I'VE BEEN THROUGH THERE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE'RE SEPARATING. YEAH. THERE'S A CRACK ON MOST OF IT. THAT'S 2 TO 3IN WIDE AND THE ROAD HAS DROPPED ABOUT TWO INCHES. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. AND ON THIS PROJECT THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP THE ROAD OPEN. IT'LL BE FLAGGERS. SO THEY'LL TAKE OUT WHAT THEY CAN DO IN ONE DAY AND REPLACE IT ALL IN ONE DAY. SO. SO IT'S GOING TO BE DONE PROBABLY IN ONE DAY. IT'LL BE FLAGGERS. SO IT'LL BE ONE WAY TRAFFIC THE WHOLE TIME. THE SECTIONS THEY WORK ON WILL BE. YEAH. PROJECT. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT FIVE DAYS TO DO. MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT AGENDA ITEM 22. SECOND MOTION AND SECOND TO ACCEPT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 22. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. MOVING AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER 23. MISS FRENCH, YOU ARE UP AGAIN. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THIS IS A RESOLUTION. WE'RE ASKING APPROVAL TO OPEN A NEW INTEREST BEARING ACCOUNT FOR MONEY THAT IS SEIZED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. CHIEF CARVALHO CAME TO ME AND ASKED IF WE COULD DO THAT. SO THAT THAT MONEY IS SET ASIDE UNTIL A DECISION IS MADE ON WHETHER IT'S FORFEITED AND IT GOES TO THE CITY, OR IF IT NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND WITH THE INTEREST BEARING ACCOUNT, ANY MONEY THAT IS SEIZED, IT'S EASIER TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT INTEREST IS MADE ON THAT PARTICULAR MONEY. SO WE'RE

[01:25:01]

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS IS THE REQUIRED SECOND READING FOR THE SEDC PROJECT, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THEM. ITEM 24 SECOND READING. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025, DASH 78, IN ITS ENTIRETY. APPROVING A WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH MARKETING ALLIANCE TEXAS INCORPORATED FOR COMPENSATION NOT TO EXCEED $40,750, AND AUTHORIZING AND RATIFYING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT AND ALL NECESSARY AND RELATED DOCUMENTS. APPROVE AGENDA ITEM. SECOND, THAT MOTION GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 24. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. THANK YOU, MR. MCDANIEL. YOU'RE UP AGAIN FOR 25. AGAIN, A REQUIRED READING.

SO ITEM NUMBER 25, SECOND READING. DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE SEAGOVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, BY WHICH THE CORPORATION WILL PROVIDE FUNDING TO THE CITY, AND THE AMOUNT OF $25,000 FOR THE PURCHASE OF PLACER LABS, INCORPORATED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE FUNDING AGREEMENT. MOVE. WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 26.

25. I'M SORRY, 2525 A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 25. AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? NONE OPPOSED. MOVING AGENDA ITEM 26. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST OR REPORTS, MR. HERNANDEZ? NO, SIR. MR. RICK HOWARD, MR. MCGILL I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR EFFORTS, SIR. AS DILIGENT WITH THE FORT WORTH TML MEETING, WE WERE ON TARGET ON SCHEDULE.

I'D LIKE TO THANK. WHERE IS HE? AT. OUR DRIVER IN THE BACK DROVE US EVERY DAY. BACK AND FORTH. A NICE TRIP, NICE VEHICLE TO RIDE IN. MEETING WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. LIKE MAYOR SAID EARLIER, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LEARNED, WE DIDN'T KNOW WE SHOULD KNOW AND I WAS PRIVILEGED TO VOTE IN THE LAST SESSION TO WHERE ITEMS THAT WENT BEFORE TML, THAT WOULD BE CARRIED BEFORE THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE TO IMPROVE CITY'S ABILITY TO WORK WITH THE LEGISLATURE AND TO ALLOW THEM TO APPRIZE CITIES OF THE BAD LEGISLATURE THAT HURTS OUR CITIES, THAT RESTRICT OUR CITIES FROM DOING THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO FOR OUR CITIZENS. SO IT WAS A VERY WELL PLANNED TRIP, AND I THINK WE LEARNED A LOT FROM IT. THANK YOU. MR. GRIMES.
