before you begin to your comments please state your name thank you good morning and welcome to your for city council meeting I'll call us to order today's invocation will be uh given by Elder Perry Williams from the holy Tabernacle Church of God in Christ please rise for the invocation and remain standing for the pledges of Allegiance please bow your heads with me Father God we thank you and we honor you for who you are thank you for this time of gathering together God we know God that there's business to take care of there's things on the agenda but our main agenda today is to honor you and and acknowledge you for without you we can do nothing you told told us in the scripture to trust in you with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding but in all our ways to acknowledge you God so we come to you father this morning to acknowledge you thank you for this great city of for work in whom we was born and raised and went to school and even employed by thank you for these council members in every District that have given themselves to serve this great City I pray for each and every one of them their families they have needs and they have desires and they may even be going through sickness in their own body I pray that you bless them I pray for the wisdom and the knowledge that you said will be the stability of our times I pray God that Justice and truth will be established I pray God that this city will flourish it's it's it's the 13th largest city in the nation but God I pray God that we'll be able to meet the need as the people come to our great City Lord as we walk down the streets drive down the streets there's a lot of issues to deal with the homeless and various issues I pray God that you give this counsel the wisdom and the knowledge and the resources to provide to meet the needs of all men and all women bless our mayor God as she stand at the ham to give direction bless her staff that support her I pray God that there be peace among them peace in this city peace in this state peace in our Nations I bless these young people who have come today the mothers and the fathers the brothers and the sisters who care for them I pray all these blessings in Jesus name amen amen go mayor and Council our first item will be items withdrawn from the consent agenda there are no items to be withdrawn from the consent [Music] agenda items to be continued are withdrawn by staff we have one item to be withdrawn and that is resolution 24- 422 mayor next will be speakers on the consent agenda item and I believe we have two we do our first is Bob Willoughby followed by Adrien Smith not is Mr willby here no he is can you grab him thank you and Mr Smith is next Adrian just second I think it'll actually Bob first and then you thank you and it's about now this will not tell you what's on the agenda you're talking about and that needs to be changed so you know what we're talking about nevertheless this is District 11 it's a foreclosure case and I've brought this up before now this is not the case here this is not the house I'm using this for a sample the sign that says foreclosure I've asked council rep and I'm asking again I'm asking uh who's number 11 oh there you are down you're number 11 okay anyway if I was a council member in my district and there was a lot of forecloses in my district more than any other District district five um I would have make sure there was signs put up when it was going on the market to B so the neighbors driving by could have a chance to know when this stuff's being foreclosed and have a chance to bid on it they don't have time to watch that website they got a life to live you know and if a neighbor bought a prop buys a property I feel more comfortable they're going to put something there that might be good for all of us rather than a professional buyer that bids for these things only for money and that's it so I've asked why not like this son apparently they do hear that there's one of a foreclosure you know so they say it some cities apparently I don't know which one this is we could do that here and if I was a council member if I had to pay for the money out out of my own pocket which I have I put up my own zoning signs for 5 years in my area because the city wouldn't put up zoning signs and U that so I've asked a lot of times for amend that to make that mandatori they do it now but it's not mandatori because it's not written and it'll go back the other way in the future anyway the only thing is I've got to say about our new council members a lot of them have never been to a council meeting before a bond meeting or a budge meeting so they don't know what they're doing they really don't they're there just to fulfill the spot I have no confidence that the council member in 11 will take a step and do anything like this but nevertheless during election time coming up next May we're working on things we Hing get some kind that will do stuff like this I kind of got off track I'm trying not to get off track here trying to stay on track but there was something more I wanted to say about this but that's the main oh that's what I wanted to say you see this picture here before you the last comment meeting my pictures were not shown on the Telly just a little push them off everybody else will stay on that this may not be shown on TV either right now what's showing on that TV at home right now should be the same thing that people are seeing in here you you get that Maddie cuz that's your job Mr Mayor mdy Parker that's your fault they're not being shown up there that's not Jack's fault that's yours on purpose these little Shenanigans you do shows your immaturity okay anyway also if you don't get me for this understand you're stepping down you're not running again that might not be true it might be no you are beautiful all right thank you for your time I hope that good morning Bob thank you A Smith is our next speaker Adrien Smith I am one with the people MMC 24138 I speak to this particular agenda item for one purpose and one purpose only there used to be a point where we used to be able to speak to all agenda items regardless of how many we were for or against to have a say but of course this Council stripped us of this so this particular agenda item like many of these agenda items for those who have documentation to follow along has a dollar sign attached to it and I'm not talking about a small dollar amount I'm talking about millions of dollars with this particular agenda item like many of these agenda items there's an initial an amount contracted or given to a particular entity outside of that um initial amount there are renewals and this particular agenda item had several renewals in the millions of dollars so I bring this point up to ask this Council when are we going to get serious about the business of the city the amount that's reflected before you all is the amount that there're going to vote on just a single vote no discussion but taxpayer money they just vote no discussion it's going to happen in the next I guess once I take my seat you all to see it and ask to the young people so when are we going to get serious about the business of this city it's time out for this this wasteful spending and let me say one one thing I don't I don't consider you all the same some of you on this di I I hold in h guard but I'm not I'm not going to speak those individuals names because I feel like like they say one Apple One Bad Apple Sports a bunch but it takes one individual to be a standalone a righteous person to stand against the the the the evil that that that comes from this diet at times so I don't I don't lump you all up the same but um that last gentleman you all just saw yourself and myself we were trespassed from this very Place six months ago but guess what I'm back that's the last of our consent agenda speakers Council got a motion in a second but I leave Council M Becky wanted to speak on one item is that correct okay we're having some tech technical diffic difficulties today um I just wanted to note on this consent agenda um is money for one safe place and I see phelipe in the room with us today um and I just wanted to take this minute to um congratulate you and I think it just shows um what a partner the city considers y'all in um helping support and curb domestic violence throughout the city so thank you thank you Council rebec any other discussion Council if not please vote motion carries next will be Announcement by City Council Members including approval of

thank you Janette I believe that's the conclusions of our Council announcements Council next will be speakers on non-consent agenda items and I believe we have one a Adrian Smith on item 24 hyen [Music] 4099 yes so in this particular resolution uh 24 hyphen 4099 this is in uh relations to um the proposed roadway closure that's to be uh that's to occur uh around University Drive for the Panther Island project for those who heard of that term Panther Island this is the the city's pet pet project you know this is something they're trying to bring on board to uh modernize the city so it can reflect like other cities you know this this this look this feel this this thing you know but I just want to say forward it's not that City because until we take care of the issues that are uh that occur occur in other parts of this city where the disinvestments happen where the disinvestments happen where the disinvestments happen I think P Island would be a failure and it's amazing that Pan Island um is due to go online um and I quote Panther Island construction faces months of delays due to City contract challenges and this was a report by the Fort Worth report um Miss Rachel and Haley this was dated December 14 uh 2023 fast forward for worth councils a $70 million development contract in the historic Southside what comes next and again this was the Fort Worth report Miss Rachel the December the 18th 20223 my question to this council is the $77 million that's needed for pounda island is this the money that you all have tusting it's very disgusting and I truly feel that until we get the right individuals in these seats then we're not going to get the changes that we that we that we're do and again it's not all of you some of you council members are new to this so again I don't I don't put you all in the same basket okay but again May Since you you gestured at me please by all means explain to us what's going on with this you know because if I'm misinformed

RFP is going to go out this week and so the money has been allocated for Ev and rosale is still there and that project is going to move forward so I just want to make sure that you know in the entire

mic there it is now they still don't have a button though okay uh the raising of North University Drive from where the Terminus point is where it meets with Texas 199 just before that bridge going towards White Settlement that has been been discussed with the stakeholders and the business owners that would be impacted that includes Fort Worth ISD the go-kart place and uh you know other impacted businesses like bua uh this is necessary it's part of the valley storage that is part of a US Army Core of engineer project it is for the Central City River Project and that also connects in with drainage improvements on Grand Avenue uh councilwoman um n Hill and I were part of that meeting and talking to the stakeholders and we were looking at essentially two options the quick option which will take about a year's time to complete is probably the most expeditious and that's what we're favoring that's what the stakeholders are favoring we're looking at that for the implementation and let me be clear about something this is a US core of engineers project the city is a partner but the core is running this and the core is paying for it I've advised tpw who is also as part of these meetings to take advantage of the time to make roadway improvements which would save taxpayer dollars so that's the uh short end version you know of this project you know again the stakeholders have been engaged all the way we're supportive of it and uh you know certainly support moving forward with it thank you Council Flores mayor ptim Bivens okay okay thank you to the students this is what we call a teachable moment you never need to come to City Hall and not be informed as to what we're going to vote on our agendas are posted online no later than Friday before the council meeting often Thursday evening but here's the deal you can look up every item and you can if you know which Council District you live in you can look at those and you can click a link click a link and it will tell you all the questions Mr Smith said he didn't understand so I always tell people reading is fundamental and when you get an agenda you can easily know what we're voting on there are no secrets and furthermore this is where all the voting takes place before we get here there is a work session and that's where the rubber meets the road that's when we fuss that's when we Lobby that's when we negotiate so there is nothing done in secret when it comes to a vote so those are my comments thank you for the microphone thank you mayor appr Tim bons any other discussion Council if not we can vote
