presentation to recognize members of MedStar Fort Worth Police Department Fort Worth fire department and the Fort Worth community members thanks Jeanette I'm going to call on councilman Elizabeth Beck to come down to the diocese and at the same time I know several people are here today to be recognized if you could also make your way down kind of get behind Elizabeth here on the diocese anybody that's here for the special recognition councilwoman Beck I think I'm gonna try to get through this without tearing up and and getting too weepy on you but this is a big one um we kicked off uh the beginning of this month recognizing that it was um heart month here in the city of Fort Worth and I can't think of a better way to end this month with recognizing some very special people and that you see behind me today uh we make a lot of decisions on this dice about our First Responders we appreciate them but I think that until you have watched them in action the true nature of the Miracles that they can work the expertise that they have The Bravery that they have um is is lost and I was very fortunate to be able to witness that some very amazing firefighters for police officers and community members they didn't know when they were saving a life that they had an audience but they did so they're here today and it is my honor to thank each and every one of you and recognize you for what you did January 12 2023 um I was having lunch with a very good friend of mine who happens to be a member of the fourth Police Department while we were there Mr Baron land went into cardiac arrest um it was but for the quick actions of Our Community member Mr Calvin Summers who answered the call when they yelled who knows CPR um it was officers Moore and Rey and who showed up quickly when Officer Mendoza radioed for help and Sergeant Young Who came running across the street from the Hemphill sector all to provide Aid to Mr land MedStar was there MedStar showed up members of our Fort Worth fire department showed up and because of their quick action and their quick response Mr land is actually here with us today and um yes okay something that was really striking to me is after this event I emailed several of the the folks that were involved and and thanked them for what they did and it was actually Sergeant Young Who said that this was not the first time that you had performed CPR but it was the first time that someone had made it and that was really heartbreaking to know um and when you hear the statistic that only six percent of people who experience the type of event that Mr land did survive um you know what you did in that that day was truly um a miracle and so I would like to start by recognizing let's see who's that first Mr Calvin Summers thank you so much [Applause] we do not have our Paris coffee shop folks here with us today because they are um busy cooking up extra crispy hash browns if you haven't had them I've tried they're it's there for the third Rush Hour uh Sergeant Jason Young [Applause] officer Christy Mendoza officer Moore come on officer Ray there you are Lieutenant Brad Barron all right Captain James Castillo no all right foreign Horton firefighter Morgan Hicks firefighter Caleb Gilliam Andrew Kennedy um okay so um just as a testament to how hard these folks work our MedStar folks can't be here today because they are on a call saving another life so we will save these for them or we'll make sure that they get them and then Mr land I have something very special for you and I'm going to walk to you so you don't have to walk to me um but on behalf of the fire chief and the fire department um I'm presenting you with a survivors challenge coin and so I don't know if you know much about challenge coins but they're often given to represent your accomplishments or you're a member of an elite group and I think that six percent makes you pretty Elite and so on behalf of the fire department I'd like to hand you this foreign [Applause] and I'm back I think we got everybody all right so I just again thank you all so much I want to be able to look at you again see your officers you know Hear Me Chief your officers did an amazing job watching them respond so quickly um really is a testament to the training that they have there was not a moment that they blinked they knew exactly what to do they literally came running when the call was put out and so Bravo to you and your team and likewise Chief Davis there you are um your firefighters were the most professional and um and really handled the situation and likewise with MedStar as well and we could not have asked for a better situation and I think it shows that um that we got you out of Paris coffee shop and into the hospital and you're here today and I'll make sure I will um carry the message that you would have liked your to-go plate with you in the ambulance when you were leaving so um thank you all so much and I think we're going to turn around take a picture all right and then you can each other foreign American Council there are no items to be withdrawn from the consent agenda by council members next will be items to be continued or withdrawn by staff yeah I'll buy her years all right we have two items to uh want to withdraw from the consent Agenda One is MNC 23-0145 and the second one is MNC 23-0148 and that will be continued to March 21st corrected and that is MNC 230161 the current Council District should be two not Council district 7 and the future Council District should be council districts two and seven mayor the next action item is approval of the consent agenda oh sorry we got three consent speakers perfect thank you our first consent speaker is Bob Willoughby who will be followed by Gerald Miller foreign Lord disabled I like that that's what I am now okay you don't know what I'm talking about we don't talk anymore on each agenda I'm like I used to they messed this up so you can't know there's two items I'm talking about I think I got to split the time I'm not sure you just have three minutes each one they're robbing us of everything well the first one is about the mental thing for the police department I don't know the best for victims or what a mental is like fifty thousand dollars I'm all for that but you know what we need one for the police because Chief it's Chief uh Neil notes runs out of the building every time I try to ask him a question I want to file a solid charge and he won't talk to me he runs off I think he needs mental I think we need to want these things for mental for our council members they've lost it too they took away our right to speak okay that's one thing the other one I was going to talk about is the black Chambers of Commerce now Beck caught me a racist last time and it's never came in public face me on the ground and take that back they talk up here they're protective you can't say anything and when I get through talking they're going to attack me but I can't say anything come to my show come down here and taught me face to face on equal ground and try that okay go ahead and say your lies while you're sitting up here but come down here and face me anyway the black Chambers of Commerce same to Spanish any other thing taking money from us these organizations they put on their website how they're doing good for Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce says it's making Fort Worth a better place to live it is then why don't you come down here and ask these people why they took away our right to speak the city count we don't speak anymore we're not on the agenda to speak tonight so if this organization wants money from people that are not doing right do they care about the money or the really the pureness their website says one thing but their actions say another I refuse that money until they put our right back to speed I offered a thousand dollars to Saint Jude's Children's Hospital if they just answer why they remove the Public Presentation from the city council agenda the most legitimate question you could ask these people they didn't answer well I took a thousand dollars and I'm using against expose her crooked never mind I can't say that uh anyway uh that's my thing I'm not a racist that's not against the Black Chamber of Commerce it's against every organization that is not is putting out one picture and doing another and and when bet calls me a roasted again it's not true I mean I say about everybody look it's real simple one of the worst organizations you can think of is the KKK out there okay you're a real organization they're out there that's out there with the Chamber of Commerce take money from them they're a bad organization they wouldn't do it would they will they take money my money taxpayers money from an organization up here that's taken away our right to speak and messing this up and using this as their own look at them I'll get their heads down they don't care hi Mr Smiley anyway um but anyway that's what I've got to say and if I got a pen I've got to vent now because I can't afford professional counseling okay thank you for your time our next speaker is Gerald Miller followed by Adrian Smith is Mr Miller here no next speaker is Adrian Smith Adrian Adrian Divine Smith let the words of my mouth and the meditations in my heart be acceptable and thy sight O Lord my strength and my redeemer um I had an opportunity to look at this parent MNC proposed by the council um apparently we're going to start going out to shopping carts shopping carts that are basically I say yep abandoned or they leave a property of a particular retail establishment most likely this happens without the retails knowing because a lot of people take shopping carts for whatever purposes they take them but to I think more or less to and thank you Miss Bivens because I learned how to dive in deeper you know and I just look at the surface of things so thank you for that you taught me a lot I don't think that the city I believe the code enforcement the Code Compliance I believe if this is uh adopted or whatnot you all decide to move forward with this I think they'll be the ones who ensure that these shopping carts are not um quote-unquote you know this issue will be taken care of by Cold compliance basically and I think it's a finder to be attached to the establishments per shopping card if they're not able to retrieve them um I truly think it's a waste of City's time because most cold compliance agencies within districts are not doing a doing what they need to do in those districts so to take on another tasks to I guess you could say it might not be a burden to them but I see a dollar amount attached to it so I'm wondering if the city uh really wants to go through with this shopping carts uh we know a lot of our homeless people they they use shopping carts for means a transporting their personal items uh it states that 16 shopping carts would have to be quote-unquote um acquired from a particular business y'all got this it's just the language I'm sorry I'm I'm all over the place but I don't agree with it basically I think more or less I want to know is this is the question I should have been asking what notice how the business has been given I think that's more or less I want to know because this is a transparency issue you know I mean if you're going to push this uh agenda item forward or whatnot what what due diligence have our businesses been given to you know I'm saying to get ready for these changes that's the question so I'm all over the place but I know where I'm going in my mind but I'll be back thank you thank you Adrian we're happy to have someone from um Code Compliance to follow up with you on those questions I think go ahead Gina councilmember events I wanted to offer comment on on this specific matter I have a very good relationship with the corporate constituents in District Five all but the grocery industry and so right now the only presence the grocery industry here's from is Code Compliance primarily and I think this gives us a better chance to communicate with them so that they realize they too have an obligation to keep Fort Worth beautiful and I will be supporting it thank you Gina that's the last of our consent speakers Council please vote motion carries next item is upcoming and recent events recognition of citizens and approval of ceremonial travel if needed councilmember Flores are up first thanks mayor okay first slide February 9th uh my district director intended the monthly meeting of EMS ISD people

neighborhood alliance meeting that we had last week they had lots of questions about our downtown library and um and they were really excited to see all of the street Paving improvements that we've done in downtown so good job tpw all right and that's it thank you I think that's the last of our presentations from Council mayor next item will be speakers on the non-consent items and I believe there are four speakers thank you our first speaker is Bob Willoughby Bob will be followed by Adrian Smith Bob may be outside Adrian are you sitting Adrian why don't you jump up oh here comes Bob go ahead well one thing is we keep adding Town Homes Town clusters Apartments everything here in this city that's all it is and our our growth is a senior income big time that's all we have rolling blackouts people are actually dying from their stupidity up here okay people are actually dying they don't feel it they don't suffer from it but we're filling up with the apartments and town homes and that no yards no houses small houses cram them all together like chickens and cages you know no room to bereave or grow it's not good for children's or the quality alive okay but the main thing is the zoning cases were supposed to be on Thursday night I'm kind of curious why we got two zoning cases now and not on Thursday night Bob just for clarification this is the non-consent agenda on Instagram Oh you mean I got another three minutes to speak tonight on a different item I didn't know that I thought I had to put them on that one there yeah so this is not the zoning case no sir okay just remember that we'll just use it we'll pick up a number get the zoning case okay what's this one is this about the mental thing or the the Chamber of Commerce this is actually referencing the Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce chamber this is one about the Chamber of Commerce okay well then I can finish up on the Chamber of Commerce I want the Chamber of Commerce do it's just come down here and ask these people why did they remove the Public Presentation from the council agenda that's all it's a legitimate answer it was on here I got robbed I don't know anybody else feels that and you know I don't think people really know the importance because we've been dummy down for the last 30 years people been dummy down not to get involved with their local government but I want you to know these people have more direct power rest than the president of the United States and that's not that's a fact and you know everybody boasts on the president but nobody votes here if this city had 30 percent voting that would be low but we're at 10 percent think what that is now that's what I've got a problem with Chamber of Commerce not coming down here and helping us we need all the help we can get from every organization that takes money the city that's who you're taking it from me okay it's my money you're taking these people took away our right to speak I want you to help us get it backed and I don't mind you taking our money but if you're not gonna you're gonna sit back and turn a blind eye to what they do and just get the money that's what we're wanting to suppose here the real thing okay I know it's Beck is back now she's here she's the one that insulted me last time called me a racist just trying to paint me and she will not come out and public and confront me she won't come down here after me and say Mr Billy this is why she can't do it because it's not true these people are caught watching you want to attack me afterwards too when I can't speak thank you is Adrian Smith followed by Cameron chubeck I do I truly think we as a city as a counselor he knows as the constituents this that or the other I think we can agree to disagree on certain items and still move forward in Harmony and I just uh will be a Miss to say one thing to Mr Flores uh which I think it should have been stated when it's this uh particular session was open was to God bless you and continue with strength to your mother and her uh healing and Recovery due to the recent incident so like I say we can we can have our dreams and disagrees and we still can walk in harmony so God bless you Mr Flores the financial openness responsibility and transparency Act all right so his states that we have three council members currently who um votes on certain items or certain things when it comes to uh decisions being made here around Fort Worth um I mean you all do it collectively but this particular item said we're going to move from three to four I believe I would say Adrian just for clarification sorry to interrupt you I think this item that you signed up on pertains to the veal Ranch reinvestment Zone which is 23-0207 that's not the right one okay thank you please keep going that's fine no you're good you got a minute 30. hey I guess I'm in the middle of my well anyway it was a cp326. I wish it I just would say we need to add more council members to this particular um uh consideration because we are dealing with we say Financial we're talking about taxpayer money that comes into the city to take care of City business and make things move and see the business I think we need more individuals on board you know making decisions when it comes to this uh the openness I think the openness could be more I truly think one person I'm one I can't speak for everyone but I truly believe we are in the red as a city but I'm not the one crunching numbers I'm just someone who's in observation of what's going on and has been going on I think I got I had 50 million reasons to feel this way 50 million reasons to feel this way um hint hint but um as far as responsibility and transparency I think we can we can improve in those areas as well because spending has to get spending has to get under control responsible spending uh we had to get to a lower tax rate you know and I think the tobacco at the new city hall is one thing that sticks out in people's minds at this at this present and as I take my seat I will be in unison's with the new County judge as he stated we need to get spending under control thank you our next speaker is Karen schubuck is Cameron here sorry remote Cameron good morning can you hear me yes go ahead good morning thank you mayor and city council I am my name is Cameron chubbock AS was mentioned and I'm just wanted to call in um on behalf of resolution three which is a resolution approving the issuance of revenue bonds for the North Hill Manor Apartments I'm in support obviously of it I I represent the developer and the group that will eventually be the borrower of the proceeds of these bonds to purchase and to substantially renovate this important affordable housing property in Northern Fort Worth um I mostly just wanted to join in case there were any questions that came up as it relates to this resolution um so I don't have anything else to say unless there are any other questions thank you thank you Cameron our next speaker is Avis shashon good morning mayor mayor Pro tem members of the Fort Worth City Council Avis DeShawn I'm the executive director of real estate development with pleiadem USA it's always a great day to come and visit Fort Worth and today is gorgeous no doubt I am here uh to ask for your support for this item for 73.40 Kingswood Senior Living this would be our fifth development in the city of Fort Worth and our first independent senior living development in Fort Worth and it's a 2023 nine percent competitive housing tax credit application it is very competitive I would like to thank councilmember Williams for your time and allowing us to make our proposal a great I think you called it game changing I'd like to thank the candle Ridge Estates HOA for meeting with us and their support and the Ridgeview Estates HOA as well I'd also like to take the time to thank Victor Turner and his staff in Neighborhood Services Chad laroque and Leah Brown I know this process is not easy and it's very nuanced and it's a lot of work so I do appreciate all of their help as well so today I humbly just ask for your requests for the resolution of support and the fee waivers listed in the agency thank you that concludes the speakers for non-consent items the first item for Action is cp326 I'll call on council member Michael crane to discuss this item thank you mayor I think my colleagues will remember several months ago I asked the city manager to follow policies that other Municipal state federal governments federal government does to provide a fiscal note as part of any proposal bought forward to council subsequent to that and in conjunction with staff I asked they thought it best to formalize that here at Council that procedure so as a council I believe we have a duty to provide good fiscal oversight to all taxpayer dollars in which we are entrusted I also believe the citizens of Fort Worth deserve to understand the full cost and budget implications for any policy being brought forward for a council vote a complete evaluation of all costs associated with the profit policy is a prudent measure for any government body to execute answering the questions of is it in line with the Strategic policy already outlined by this council is it legal and yes what are all the costs associated with the policy or essential questions we and the citizens in Fort Worth deserve serve to know that's why today I'm proud to introduce the fiscal openness responsibility and transparency or Fort act which will bring full transparency through a robust fiscal note and evaluation to any future agenda item in addition after staff consultation and and in anticipation of adding two new Council seats in a few months this proposal will emulate best practices in other cities for how proposals are brought to the council moving forward mirroring practices in Austin Dallas 33 percent of the council will be required to move forward in any prop proposition forward this is still less than the 45 requirement required in San Antonio Mr Smith I uh agree with you a little bit that we should raise it higher but I think this is a good starting point for our Council to have this conversation uh and how we move forward through these measures I'm confident we will increase transparency and communication both of which are essential in building trust not only with the public but within this body itself with that I moved away the requirements in Council rule procedure 5.2 point one to allow for this Council proposal be acted upon today and in the city council meeting in which is introduced there's a motion a second on the floor it looks like councilmember Beck are you up no okay councilman Nettles ah thank you so I do want to um really digest and take in count this entire CP to its entirety normally uh such change as this is greatly changing our policies and procedures of how we bring city council proposals to the city in good practice it would be good to take it to work session first when you want to change how you're going to propose policy slow let me explain this to you things are put on the agenda by our city manager and our mayor and so when we as Council feel that other agenda items should be placed on the agenda we have the option to do a city council proposal and what that proposal allows us to do is get with legal get with management staff and present a proposal together then we work with our colleagues to sign that proposal to be placed on the agenda which this is on today I will give an example of one of the ways I was going to do a city council proposal was the oversight board and when uh Council Michael talks about uh transparency and Trust within the body one of the things that I did is worked with our mayor worked with the city manager and it took 16 months in order to get the oversight on the agenda item for a vote 16 months after working with staff working with our mayor working with our city manager 16 months to get it on the agenda now I could have just put a CP up and we could have voted for right then and right there but for transparency and trust and working with this body I waited 16 months some things cannot wait 16 months when things are happening in our city just as councilman Williams will talk about here in a little bit uh the um his uh CP that he put together that did not come to this Council we were dealing with the um um what was it called the curfew art we was we had an issue with the curfew ordinance and one of the things if you don't agree with something or you don't think it's right you always should give an option to something else and so Jared Williams Dr Williams provos ACP and we were going to put it to practice but he worked with the mayor and others not to bring it forward to put in the budget item but those are items that cannot wait until a budget item or until you have three or four thirds of the council so let's break down this now we could have did this in work session but since we're doing a CP let's go ahead and do this on the diets so number one it talks about the financial management service department that shall identify the dollar amount the funds that adopted for the CP to estimate the dollar amount of staff time that would be required to implement this CP if adopted okay so now we want to require staff now watch this this CP was not introduced to us until Friday so you're going to require staff to come up with how much staff time is going to be used to implement this CP how much dollar amount is going to cost for the city to be budgeted for this CP by Tuesday about three days because we're waving the rules which normally if we don't weigh the rules it will be introduced today and then we'll vote on it next week but you just heard the motion to weigh the rules so you want a staff to come up with dollar amount staff time and budget by Tuesday can't happen let's take into consideration uh my good friend uh councilman Beck put in the CP for um women products which was also signed a second by the mayor for work you want us to figure out how many hundreds of women products we're going to put in how many times we got to restock them in our city uh buildings who's going to restock them how many hours are the custodians going to stock them and the number of employees that it's going to take to calculate the cost of restocking them just as a point of clarification councilman Nettles I will point out that Elizabeth Beck worked diligently for a week prior to that CP and knew the amount was eighty thousand dollars and identified that money um working with Neighborhood Services and Parks and Recreation so it's probably not the best example in the situation well it's the example that I'm going to use but I appreciate you bringing that up to this body thank you so much for that I think it's all about everybody have an opinion and the desire at the same time that was a CP that was brought to this body that was a CP that we needed to do at that time it was important to this Council it was important to a council member and it was for our constituency and so it doesn't matter how much is going to cost uh how uh how what the budget looks like if it's for our city and it's going to impact our young people and our constituents we need to move forward with that policy the next thing it says um it wants to know how it's going to affect our budget number two nhcp that anticipates the results of a natural ongoing expenditure cannot be implemented until going through City regular budget product process my question since we're jumping in who's going to decide some natural amount is that going to be this body or is it going to be budget is it going to be David it's going to be who's going to decide if it's going to be so natural enough to affect our budget these are play on words you better be careful because this is what I call a takeover if the CP wins the majority of the vote it is City policy and we need to move forward with that number three to amend the number of council members required to city council to sign on to the proposal currently it's two they want to move the number from two to three then when we get to uh 11 they want to move it to four is that is that not correct okay I just heard a little rumbling um when we look at all the cities they talked about Austin Dallas San Antonio and Fort Worth I went a little bit farther and did some more digging uh El Paso has nine council members and it only takes one council member to propose something to be put on the agenda item not to not three not four looked at Galveston they have seven council members and it takes two council members to put some on proposal I think if we're going to be transparent don't just pick the ones that helps your backing in support of the CP but put a majority of them Galveston and El Paso has just as many uh council members as we do nine and seven I will say if we're going to be like Austin Dallas and San Antonio and I'm really shocked that Dallas is on here because how much forward so they don't be like Dallas but if we're going to be like Dallas Austin and San Antonio Austin Dallas San Antonio all has oversight board too that's the same board that this body voted down in November we want to pick and we want to choose what cities we want to be like when it helps our Vendetta but we don't want to pick and choose when it helps the community again I truly believe that this CP should stay at two when it's related with this Council when we move the two members you got two members you can add another person to sign on that's fair but to bring this CP and wave the rules to change how you bring CPS together sounds pretty fishy to me I think it's very important that this body takes this to work session and that's really hit hard on these issues some of these need to be taken out someone need to be removed and it needs to be fixed I will not be supporting number one to weigh the rules nor will I be supporting to put this in motion I will have some other amendments to this and I'm asking that we sent it back to the work session those are my comments now I'm sure I have some more as you all begin to talk councilmember Williams um thank you mayor um you know I think one I want to say thanks to councilman Crane and Blaylock for pulling us together I know um Council proposals aren't um anything new to this Council and it's a really important tool that we've used to accomplish a number of things including working with City management to figure out ways to define mid-budget a year the national Juneteenth Museum which was incredibly important and a humbling way to honor I'm such a pillar in our community with Miss hopefully and so I think you know in this proposal there's a lot of important things that we need to discuss and work through I appreciate the need for a fiscal note I think it's a good idea I think there's some other components of this that if we were to put it through a work session and work together I think we could come with a a really solid policy change I think this is a fundamental change to our Council rules they're the rules that we all agree on and how we want to govern and move things forward for the city um and it not only impacts this Council for the next 60 days of this council is is governing for this cycle but it also fundamentally impacts the way the next Council which is going to be elected in 60 days will do business and so you know I think while there's some important things that we need to work through with this I think it's also important two things one that we work to build consensus because this is in fact this body's rules I mean it's important that um you know mayor council that we agree on these rules because it's the way that we commit to govern governing this city in an effective way so I would humbly request as a substitute motion that we continue this until 90 days to allow the next Council to weigh in it furthermore I think it's important that we allow them to weigh into it because this Council approach when the changes specifically to how many council members get to um are required with this change to bring a proposal forward fundamentally creates some roadblocks for Council Members being able to bring important policy issues from their constituencies to this dice for important discussion I mean I think that's something that we really need to walk through and talk to as a council before we rush and make that decision so respectfully I would ask that we continue to work on this as a body until we get it right I think it's a good start but there's more work to do thank you thank you councilmember Williams I've got a motion and a second actually councilman Bivins do you have something go for it in a matter of days things can change on this Council when when I left last week and was uh approached about raising the number to four it sounded like a good idea to me and I was fine with it I uh I don't know about the financial ramifications and I would like staff to address that as raised by council member Nettles I may ask council member actually David Cook to talk about that for a minute let's go back to this so the topic which is one of the items on the council proposal in front of the city council today has to do with providing a financial impact statement for any item that comes on accounts proposal generally in the past we have tried to do that when we've come to waive fees so when you think about most how we've used Council proposals in the past has been to waive fees to allow an event to go forward uh we did do the feminine products one which is pretty easy to gather Financial uh data related to those requests there are Council proposals that have been discussed that would have required an extensive amount of research to determine the fiscal impact of an item and had substantial Financial impact on the city which in my opinion means it should be part of the annual budget process when you get to decide how to allocate the resources that are necessary so the request of a financial impact statement is good public policy and should be part of any Council proposal in when you think about some of the ones that have been discussed it would have required a lot of work and should be part of the budget process I hope that helps is there any harm delaying it I'm supportive of four but is there any is there anything that we have to do it now from uh from the financial statement not related to this item right this item in my mind does two things it says we should require a financial impact statement on every Council proposal I would say that's good public policy the other part of the council proposal is related to the number of signatures required to put a council report forward okay any other questions Gina no um yes sir I did want to say something and one of the things I have issue with the uh Financial is because when I did some research um there's times when we put proposals together or um decided we're going to implement something within the city and we say that we're going to use say for instance arpa dollars when we get to the implication of that policy sometimes there's other pockets of money either the fund balance or the general fund or even sometimes we're able to work with the ccpd budget depends on if it's related to that issue and so what will be the turn of me is that we put a CP together and David and their staff worked on the financial and say hey it's going to come out of the general budget but that's all we know right now because that's what we have the money but as implementation goes in process it may come from a different pocket and so although we may be sitting on counseling looking like no we can't affect our budget like that but in reality it can come from somewhere else and I think that is going to affect how we vote on CPS and I don't think that's fair to put on although it's maybe good policy some things it will cut down or limit us to vote on because of the Outlook of it from the face of it that's my concern that's why I can't support it I mean you may have something else to help me understand that sure thank you Chris councilmember back thank you mayor um first let me say that um thank you councilman crane for putting this together um I agree with our city manager that I do think it's a good public policy that before we vote on um on a CP we know what the actual costs are some are easier than others and so the question that I have for you David is and this is my concern and why I think um I'm supportive of adding the the requirement which we already to be clear we already have that on RCP and so um [Music] I think that I would like to have a discussion about how this changes the general process I understand why we're doing this because there are times that things are more appropriate for the budget than they are for a CP and for staff purposes we want to make sure that we have some sort of clear delineation on this is an appropriate uh initiative to bring forward via cep versus the budget process and so I would like Council to be able to have that discussion so that Council has that discussion with staff so that everyone's clear on what that process looks like I mean I know councilman Nettles brought up the CP that mayor and I worked on for the menstrual products um and you know that what was fairly easy to determine but it still took some doing and it took some staff time and so what I would like to know is just as a council person when I'm putting forward we were able to get that one pretty quickly it was about a two-week turnaround and and that crunch was because we wanted that to be in place for the summer when we knew our libraries our community centers were going to be filled up with young young women um and so how does this impact the timing of our CPS as I think a a very good question because um you know this drop on a Thursday and you know vote on a Tuesday well that's not going to give you enough time staff time to do maybe a little more complex and or what level of detail are we looking for and so I'm supportive of of beefing up that particular portion of the CP wholeheartedly I think it's I think if we're making in ill-informed decisions we're not doing right by our constituents but I would prefer that we have a conversation about this um in a work session environment as opposed to um voting on that particular change here on the diocese for my benefit I think for staff's benefit as well thanks Elizabeth councilmember crane yeah just um thanks Elizabeth and I think your point in the point that's been brought up about your CP um I would say was the the the way that these this process should work you came and talked to all of us my first question was what's the budget impact and you knew the answer and so I think that this is a move of transparency for our citizens I want to put that again out there this is a move of transparency accountability responsibility that we should be doing and I don't understand all the consternation if it's that easy to to get it done and it's something we should be doing it should not be that hard to have conversations with the rest of us and get the three or the four signatures you need to put it on there I think it is um cheeky the way it can be done if we don't have the conversations and at least know you've got four people that support it to do it as you know all of you I've talked about this before uh when it was dropped or before it was dropped so it was in that point transparent at least to know that this was coming and it was going to be out there um so just for clarification for those watching we have a a alternate motion on the floor which we'll vote on in a moment a few things I wanted to click through that I think might be helpful and first is I appreciate councilmember Nettles um articulating a few different cities to point out to you I'll just mention that the city of El Paso is about 678 000 people so it's a smaller City and the City of Galveston is only 53 000 people so the cities that we included that were included by staff and legal um here I think do reflect the appropriate size cities where the city of Fort Worth is going the other thing is I told councilmember crane it was very important to me that the change the number of council members on a CP wouldn't have hindered this body and individual council members from bringing forward even contentious issues and I could be corrected but to my knowledge since I was elected just over a year and a half ago even the most contentious issues it would have been easy to get to three signatures on those items so we would not be stopping an individual council member from bringing those forward which is very important to me to make sure that our council members have the opportunity to discuss these items bring them forward I appreciated David articulating what used to be the CP process to his point it was usually more minor changes smaller dollar items and there have been some wonderful ideas given from this Dice and one in particular that Jared Williams this audience may not know about because he ended up pulling it down in the discussion with curfew because we plan on doing it during the budget process that was the right decision because it had a large fiscal impact to the city of Fort Worth we are not a strong mayor City we are a city manager form of government and we have a wonderful budget process that our professionals and department heads do do a process that's painstaking over a series of six to nine months and I think we have a responsibility on this diocese elected officials to work alongside the professionals when we have good ideas I can think of several items that this diocese has worked on alongside City management I'm working on one right now with with staff and City management to put that in the next budget cycle so it doesn't hinder us from still implementing some of these changes into councilmember Nettles questions about delay yes it may delay a CP for being prepared to vote on that very next Tuesday especially if it's multi-million dollar impact to the city budget I think that's actually a good thing on behalf of taxpayers so I think this is a really healthy debate and no matter which way the vote goes today on this dice important to remember that we can still tweak these rules and resolutions as a body and I would fully support regardless of this vote today let's put this on a work session agenda item to continue to change and make sure we're all comfortable and importantly that staff is informing what this process will look like going forward so with that what I'm going to do is ask us to vote on the alternative motion that councilman Williams put forward um actually actually I think it was you and then seconded by Chris we'll vote on that first and then we'll move on to two additional votes would have to take place depending on the outcome of this vote go ahead Jared if you don't mind reading your motion that'd be great thank you yes and just before I make the motion I just wanted to clarify on the care for minors resolution um that CP was a little bit different because it didn't um it didn't ask for fiscal note it asked for um Council support and authorizing staff to go do the work of how much it would cost before we decided whether we would do it another thing I would just say before we vote is you know I think CPS are not meant to gauge the level of support they're meant similar to Robert's Rules of Order to make a motion and have a second for an item to be on an agenda that's the spirit in which CPS from my perspective I'm really have the power in getting things on the agenda for discussion and so that's why you know I'm still having a hard time understanding the change between three and four we don't have to discuss that but I just want to state that for the record um just in case we don't get to discuss that with the votes um so with that I'll reiterate my most to my motion is to continue this item for 90 days so that we can continue to work on this as a council thank you councilman Williams I have a motion in a second by Chris teddles please vote motion fails so now we're going to actually Mo we're going to vote on the motion to suspend the rules to take up CP 326 at this council meeting I have another substitute motion mayor actually this motion's already on the floor so go ahead because Chris because Michael already motioned earlier so we had a substitute motion so in Rob's rules of orders that would actually take place first so let's let this one go go ahead got a motion on the floor by Michael a second by Alan Blaylock please vote motion carries so now we've gotten the motion to suspend the rules now we'll take up item CP 326 I need a motion Motion in a second please vote okay I have a substitute motion okay go ahead uh because I just heard you mentioned we can talk about this in work session but I think that's I'm not going to say a cuss word but I think that's but backwards so we're going to talk about in work session I think we should talk about it first so I motion to that we send this to work session have a dialogue so that we can come to a consistency a consensus as a council body and be completely transparent after the work session and be placed back on the agenda item for a vote that's my motion thank you Chris got a motion in a second please vote no it was actually Gina motion fails so we're going to now vote on CP 326 we're back on the motion that originally was carried by councilmember Crane and seconded by Alan Blaylock please vote mayor um Point order I would like to make some amendments to the motion am I still good okay go ahead um I move that we remove item 4B from this budget I'm given a discussion that we had today um also move that we strike item three and leave it as is with two council members required to bring accounts report a proposal forward to this body and then I also moved that we strike the checklist that's required in this proposal repeat the first thing you wanted to do Jared sorry for for 4B so from and complete and attach the CPE checklist it's in you're talking about an intercept heading two yes I'm sorry section two sorry but sorry about that section two 4B about the substantial ongoing expenditure okay um I think that's really vague um and if we're gonna vote on it I think we should strike it until we clarify that okay and then that would also that's what you're referencing the checklist correct yep okay thank you checklist okay and then also strike number three um leaving the current rules in place for two signatures and then in order to bring an agenda item forward to this okay okay got it um any council members any clarification on the motion no okay I've got a motion Motion in a second please vote motion fails so we're back to the original CP 326 motion I've got a motion a second on the floor please vote Chris motion carries foreign next item will be 230140 board appointments from district 7 and I believe councilmember Flores is going to take care of these for councilmember Firestone that's great mayor thank you request Council for consideration to appoint the following individual to place seven to the respective board effective February 28 2023 with the term expiring October 1st 2025 and that would be Jennifer Ferguson to the building Standards Commission get a motion can I get a second thank you motion a second please vote motion carries next item is 230207 council member crane I'm calling you for this one I think with thank you Mission a second please vote councilor Nettles Chris thank you motion carries next item is 230208 Motion in a second thank you to ROTC board members please vote motion carries next item is 230209 motion a second please vote motion carries next item is 230210 councilmember Nettles Motion in a second please vote motion carries next item is MNC 23-0007 with report by Beth Knight hi Beth good morning mayor good morning good morning mayor member of the council this item has been continued for several times now we have an applicant who is requesting an alcohol distance waiver where the distance is typically 300 feet from property line to property line between a public school and the place that sells alcohol in this particular instance the property lines touch the and so the applicant is requesting a distance waiver to allow to sell alcohol at a restaurant that is adjacent to the school property the school board it was continued a couple weeks ago so that the Lake Worth ISD could vote on that and the Lake Worth um ISD had a meeting last night where the vote was two votes in favor and four votes against this proposal so I believe the applicant is also here and ready ready to speak but I'm available if you have any other questions thank you Beth any questions Council okay sorry just a second I'm so sorry we don't have any any speakers on the side I'm correct Jeanette no we don't need you to speak I don't think but if you if councilman Flores has any questions we'll call you up councilmer Flores I don't have any questions per se but I want to acknowledge that Mr cardarelli is here thank you and I think you attended the school board meeting correct thank you thank you councilman Florence gonna get a motion all right uh before I make my motion I'm just going to give a brief a couple of remarks here uh yeah I appreciate the involvement from staff Mr cardarelli and I did speak to the Lake Worth ISD superintendent uh board president about letting them consider this matter like they did back in 2015 because the board has changed they took a vote on it and they voted not to support it the vote was a 2-4 split um the key to this matter is this it's not a question of distance there is no distance involved the the property Corners touch and according to uh what I've heard there have been some issues related to um alcohol service they're allowed at the restaurant back then so uh consider this matter very carefully and in light of all this in light of the feedback that I got from the school board I'm going to deny the request in a second please I have a question can an applicant come up please sure so what kind of restaurant do you have uh my restaurant was Italian restaurant we served Italian Food and Pizza okay and how long have you been there we opened up in 2013 we got the approval for the alcohol license in 2015 but we shut down in 2019 due to the covet I lost the key employees I couldn't keep it open but today as of uh 2021 at least I'm also the landlord I uh but not only the owner of the restaurant but I was up I'm the landlord I'm actually speaking on behalf of the applicant Mr Aziz Valley of Valley's International kitchen um he uh let's see he applied back last year for the alcohol license and it was designed I'm here I heard the councilman Flores say that there were issues with the uh serving alcohol as far as that I know there was wasn't a single incident either from the city or from the TABC if there is any let me ask you another question um serving the ability to serve alcohol is that going to financially support the restaurant a small business to continue to stay open and serve food yes sir as of three months ago the Russia has been temporarily closed because of not having the alcohol license they cannot survive by not having the alcohol license all right thank you sir I appreciate you coming up to speak on that I'm going to support that effort to serve I probably won't make it through but I'm going to support a small business to stay open the city of Fort Worth thank you sir thank you and just to clarify for Council um in my conversations Mr cardarelli yes kovi did have an impact on his restaurant but at a time there was an extended period of time that he did close and you yourself told me that your assumption was you did not consider the matter of your uh being allowed the alcohol license to lapse you know a a problem but but it was there was an extended period of time of at least six months that you let lapse before you you know City notified you and said well you can't do that you know you have a problem and I understand that you know circumstances involve wrong assumptions man um the issues that I heard of did not involve the TABC per se okay uh you know for me having the input from the Lake Worth ISD because there is a school there there are children there their impacts that we have to be sensitive about and this is why we have the ordinance that we have it clearly stipulates a distance there is no way to satisfy that distance requirement here and believe me I looked at it talked with staff you know it goes from property line to property line we discuss maybe doing it from wall to wall That's not written in the audience I don't have that Latitude so this is why I'm making my decision I've got a motion and a second please vote go ahead Carlos please repeat your motion it's a motion to uh to deny you know the uh uh make sure that articulate this correctly Leanne the the ability for them to have a variance you know from our ordinance which stipulates you know 300 foot requirement thank you Motion in a second please vote motion carries next item is MNC 230062 was report by Stuart Campbell

Willoughby we need more coffee up here apparently uh yes good morning how are y'all doing um I'm burning plims I'm here on behalf of the developer looking to read on the property from current uh PD to an R2 zoning um we actually have approval for 14.8 acres to be zoned uh R2 we actually have reached out and worked with councilman Williams to uh he asked us to look at adding another medical office building which is more in line with the use in that area and we've been able to add about a seven thousand six to seven thousand square foot medical office building and reduce the number of town homes in doing so so that's just my clarification on this I want to make sure that's stated and so we took the original zoning case and reduced it by about 0.7 acres to accomplish this awesome thank you all for um working with um legal on the meats and Bows as well can you just clarify the two other commercial uses that will be on there as well um just I'm the medical office building on the North what East and then the commercial on the south correct correct yes and those are remaining unchanged as as per their zoning okay but there will be a total of three now thanks to councilman Williams uh Medical Office Buildings along with commercial in the South End awesome thank you all so much for working with the residents I wanted to put that on the record just in case folks are watching and wondering why I was on this agenda and continued from the last one so thank you for that absolutely well thank you for working with us yes sir thank you any other questions Council thank you our next speaker is Bob Willoughby I said before uh townhome clusters and apartments the city's getting over full with them you never own it you just rent and I'll tell you that's why we're um and to our income exceeds our growth and we're not understanding police our electric grids aren't overloaded where they can't run out no telling how water is going to be in the future but anyway one person is one too many dying from rowing blackouts and electric grids not working because we can't supply enough power to cover everything these apartments are still fine in the future but right now we got way too many way too many and you're just going to keep it and I want to make one thing clear no matter what kind of case I make down here whether it's 100 percent right they'll do what they want at the end of the day they don't work for us anymore that's the people who have no control down here anymore I grant you that they do what they want to end so I know when I'm talking to them I'm talking to plastic mostly some of them aren't as plastic as the other ones okay but they're plastic and Zoning cases we're supposed to be on on the uh the night one so that people could be there and that's something they did too the city we're growing we're growing they're saying we're growing so big we had to add two more council members you know we're growing well they do they take counsel meetings down and reduce them down to two a month this Council means that these Sony we used to have about four or five a night because they were scattered over four knives now they're all in one night we got 16 zoning cases when you're here for zoning you guys sit here half the night because they don't want us to have two more Council meetings a month like we should have this city is too big to have just two and I'm so sick of comparing with other cities won't you ask the people to live here I don't live in Austin El Paso I live here once you ask us all you do is sit up there and you look at the cities that that benefit you and you give it to us it's ever going to do it I want our right to speak back I want to say how I wanted to go back before you got here Maddie and material possessions that are not meant to last that's what you did and I can't help that that's what you did you've done more this city in 20 months and it's been done in 50 years took away our right to speak changed our council meeting times but you don't ask us that's the thing you don't include the people you don't ask us it's our money but we're not included and you treat us lower and I know uh anyway anyway I appreciate getting the event a little bit because all we can do we have no power thank you Bob I might just add just one little item I noticed recently on social media you've chosen to use my children in your latest mailer I'm going to go on record that you take the kids off your Facebook page they're not yours they're mine and you're done for the day thank you very much [Applause] I'm going to turn back to councilman Williams for your item go ahead Jared go ahead Jared you'll hear from my lawyer then thanks so much [Music] um there were some things that in the comment that I want to clarify one I don't I think it's inappropriate um all of the things that he did to you mayor's second I think it's inappropriate that um he's using a dog whistle to shame our folks who choose to rent my first house on my own as an adult was a rental property and if but for that unit and a lot of other Graces from God you know I wouldn't be where I am today um the other thing I would say is I think he was mentioning the wrong item because on this particular item it has nothing to do with for rent products which are vastly important in our community this one however is a development by Steve Hawkins
