>> Muns: PLANO CITY COUNCIL OPEN MEETING HAS RECONVENED AND ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COUNCIL MEMBER GRADY AND COUNCIL MEMBER HOLMER. OUR FIRST ITEM IS THE PRELIMINARY AGENDA AND THIS IS CONSIDERATION AND ACTION RESULTING FROM THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. THERE BEING NONE, OUR NEXT ITEM IS COMPREHENSIVE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT. AND DECEMBER 2021. >> FIRST 2021 COMPREHENSIVE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS SLIDE REPRESENTS OUR REVENUES COMPARED TO OUR BUDGET BY FUND, AND THE GENERAL FUND HAS REVENUES OF $93.4 MILLION FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AND THIS REPRESENTS 31.9% OF THE REESTIMATED BUDGET AND THE REASON IT'S NOT RIGHT AT 25% IS G THOSE TAXES IN DECEMBER. AND THE WATER AND SEWER FUND HAS $45 MILLION IN REVENUES AND THAT REPRESENTS 25.3% OF THE TOTAL ESTIMATED BUDGET SO IT'S TRACKING RIGHT ON TIME. THIS SLIDE REPRESENTS OUR EXPENDITURES COMPARED TO BUDGET BY FUND. THE GENERAL FUND HAS EXPENDITURES OF $730.4 MILLION, ABOUT 24.1% OF THE BUDGET SO IT'S TRACKING VERY WELL. AND THE WATER AND SEWER FUND HAS PENDITURES OF $28.7 MILLION AND THAT REPRESENTS 20.3% OF THE TOTAL ANNUAL BUDGET. AND SO THIS SLIDE REPRESENTS OUR NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. AND IN THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THE FUND BALANCE HAS INCREASED BY $13 MILLION AND THE WATER AND SEWER BY $6.1 MILLION AND THAT'S BETTER POSITIONED THAN IN THE PRIOR YEAR AND, OF COURSE, THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TURNED BACK ON THE LATE FEES AND THE -- THE LATE FEES AND STUFF CE PANDEMIC. THE ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE SERVICES FUND HAS DECREASED BY $2.5 MILLION AND THE MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE FUND DECREASED BY $56,000. HERE WE HAVE OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUES THAT HIGHER THAN THE PRIOR YEAR BY $3.4 MILLION. THERE WAS A DECREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES BY $3.2 MILLION, BUT THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE A TIMING ISSUE. YOU KNOW, WE -- THEY'RE TECHNICALLY NOT DUE UNTIL JANUARY 31ST SO WE JUST DIDN'T COLLECT AS MANY IN DECEMBER, AS MUCH IN DEMBE A WE HAVE IN JANUARY OF THAT. SO THAT WILL RECOVER IN THE NEXY FINANCIAL REPORT WHEN YOU SEE IT. ALSO OUR SALES TAX IS RECOVERING NICELY. IT HAS INCREASED $4 MILLION OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. THERE WAS ALSO AN INCREASE IN BUILDING PERMIT REVENUE OF $1.5 MILLION. AND SO OUR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES ARE HIGHER THAN THE PRIOR YEAR BY $10.5 MILLION AND PERSONNEL INCREASES BY $10.2 MILLION, DUE TO AN ACROSS-THE-BOARD SALARY ADJUSTMENT EFFECTIVE IN OCTOBER 2021. AND LAST YEAR OUR PERSONNEL COSTS WERE OFFSET BY A REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST EXPENDITURES OF $9.3 MILLION WITH THE CARES FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED. OUR HEALTH CLAIMS FUND A DECREASE OF ABOUT $4.6 MILLION. THIS IS MOSTLY DUE TO THE INCREASE FROM PEOPLE PUTTING OFF EXAMS, SO AS THEY'RE STARTING TO GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR AS WE'RE COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC WE HAVE SEEN A VERY LARGE INCREASE IN OUR CLAIMS. WE ALSO HAD A LOT OF LARGE CLAIMANTS. THE FUND BALANCE HAS -- THE CURRENT FUND BALANCE OF $1.9 MILLION AND WE LIKE TO KEEP SIX MONTHS' OF CLAIMS PLUS OUR INDR AND OUR FUND BALANCE. SO OUR PLAN IS TO INCREASE OUR EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS STARTING THIS MONTH, AND THEN WE WILL LOOK AT OUR PLAN DESIGN AND DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF EMPLOYEE EMIUINCREASES MAY BE NECESSARY IN FUTURE. WE HA HAVEN'T INCREASED PREMIUMN OVER 10 YEARS. HERE WE HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN SEPTEMBER, WE'RE AT 3.8% AND THOSE DECREASED IN DECEMBER TO 3.1%. SALES TAX FOR MONTH OF JANUARY WAS UP COMPARED TO THE PRIOR YEAR BY 27.51% AND WE'RE FINALLY SEEING THAT RECOVER IN THE SALES TAX NUMBER SO IT'S VERY GOOD NEWS. AND THE REAL ESTATE MARKET SHOWS THNUMB OF DAYS ON THE MARKET WAS 20 DAYS IN SEPTEMBER COMPARED TO 22 IN DECEMBER. SO DECEMBER HAD A SLIGHT UPTICK ON THE NUMBER OF DAYS ON MARKET THE PERCENT ASKING WAS .03% AND WE'RE STILL SEEING WELL OVER THAT 100%. SO THE MARKET IS PRETTY ROBUST THERE. THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICE FOR A HOME IN PLANO IN SEPTEMBER WAS AROUND $534,000. THAT HAS INCREASED TO $536,000 IN DECEMBER. THE PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT IN DECEMBER ROSE TO $198 AND THAT COMPARES TO $191 IN SEPTEMBER. OKAY, OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX IS UP BY $1.3 MILLION COMPARED TO THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. THIS INDUSTRY HAS SLOWLY BEEN RECOVERING FROM THE PANDEMIC. AND OUR EQUITY AND TREASURY POOL, THIS IS BASICALLY SHOWS YOU WHERE WE'RE KEEPING ALL OF OUR FUNDS, OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS HAVE 19% OF THIS EQUITY. ALSO THE LARGER SHARE OF THE EQUITY IS ALWAYS CAPITAL PROJECTS. THAT'S WHERE WE PUT OUR BOND FUND MONEY IN AND THAT'S AT 33% GENERAL FUND IS AT 12%. THIS IS OUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO MATURITIES. AS ALWAYS, THIS IS A VERY COLORFUL SLIDE BECAUSE WE ARE VERY DIVERSIFIED, OR WE'RE VERY GOOD OF MOVING OUT OUR MATURITY DATES SO THEY'RE NOT ALL COMING DUE AT THE SAME TIME. AND THEN HERE'S OUR DIVERSITY OF OUR PORTFOLIO AS YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE EVEN MORE COLORFUL ON THAT CHART BECAUSE WE ARE VERY DIVERSIFIED. THE PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT WILL NOT LET US HAVE OVER 50% IN ANY ONE TYPE OF INVESTMENT. AND SO WE REALLY WATCH THAT. AND THAT IS MY PRESENTATION. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> Muns: MAYOR PRO TEM. >> Prince: DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY THAT YOU SAID THAT YOU HAVEN'T INCREASED HEALTH PREMIUMS FOR EMPLOYEES IN 10 YEARS? >> UM-HMM, THAT'S CORRECT. >> Prince: I GUESS THAT I'M JUST WONDERING HOW YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT? >> WE HAVE -- WE HAVE HAD A VERY HEALTHY FUND BALANCE. WE'VE BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS WITH KEEPING THAT FUND BALANCE LIKE THAT. BECAUSE -- AND SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MANAGE WITH PLAN DESIGN TO KEEP THOSE CLAIMS. IT'S JUST THE PANDEMIC JUST WIPED US OUT. BUT, YEAH, WE HAVE JUST BEEN REALLY CAUTIOUS WITH IT AND HAD A GOOD FUND BALANCE SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT. >> Muns: MAYOR PRO TEM TO YOUR POINT, THE CLAIMS HISTORY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH US SO IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT YEAR AND A DIFFERENT DISCUSSI THIS YEAR. AS FAR AS WHAT THE HEALTH CLAIMS FUND IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SO THOSE ASPECTS ARE CHANGING OUR TPA AND CHANGING OUR PLAN DESIGN HAVE HELPED OVER THE LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS TO REALLY HELP TO MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE COSTS BUT THIS YEAR A LOT OF THAT HAS CAUGHT UP WITH US OVER COVID, SO WE'LL BE HAVING SOME DIFFERENT DISCUSSIONS THIS YEAR TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AND HOW THOSE COSTS NEED TO BE SHARED AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. >> THANK YOU. >> Muns: THANKS, DENISE. >> YOU'RE WELME >> Muns: OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE DEPARTMENT REPORT OF TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. ROGER? >> GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, CITY MANAGEMENT. MY NAME IS ROGER WRIGHT, I'M THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND I STARTED WITH THE CITY IN JULY OF 2020. IT'S AN INTERESTING TIME TO START A NEW JOB AND IT'S BEEN INTERESTING EVER SINCE. SO TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. STARTING WITH THE CHART, AND ALWAYS WE ARE MADE UP OF THREE DIVISIONS, AND I'M THINKING THAT I SHOULD HAVE WORE MY GLASSES. I'LL HAVE TO DO THIS FROM MY HEAD BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. FROM INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES AND THAT IS HEADED BY LANCASTER AND THE APPLICATION IS DEVELOPMENT TEAM WHICH IS THE TECHNOLOGY OFFICER IN THAT AREA AND THE INFORMATION AND SECURITY WHICH IS GUS DURANT AND THE INFORMATION SECURITY POSITION IS ONE THAT WE ELEVATED LAST YEAR SO THAT WE COULD GIVE ADDITIONAL FOCUS TO THE CYBERSECURITY NEEDS, ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE WORLD. AND IT USED TO BE COMBINED WITH OUR ARCHITECTURE PIECE AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LEVEL OF SEPARATION IN THAT SO WE HAVE AUTONOMY AND CHECKS AND BALANCES IN PLACE. INFRASTRUCTURE IS MADE UP OF OUR NETWORK AND OUR COMMUNICATIONS, POLICE, TELCOM, AND OUR SUPPORT FUNCTIONS AND DESK TOP SUPPORT AND THOSE ITEMS, ALONG WITH RADIO -- RADIO FOR US IS A REGIONAL RADIO SYSTEM AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT LATER. FOR APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT IT IS OUR COMMERCIAL OFF-THE-SHELF SHOT WEAR FOR THE DEPARTMENTS TO RUN THEIR FUNCTIONS AND TO BASICALLY ENABLE THEM TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR CITIZENS AND THEN THERE'S THE COMPONENT OF THE BUSINESS INTELLIGNCE AS WELL AS THE GIS WHICH IS OUR MAPPING SOLUTIONS. AND THEN CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT WHICH INCLUDES ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE DO WITH INTEGRATIONS AND WE DO THAT IN A VERY SPARING WAY BECAUSE AS A CITY THERE'S SO MANY SOLUTIONS OUT THERE THAT MEET OUR NEEDS WE ONLY WANT TO DO CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT WHEN IT MAKES SENSE TO CLOSE A GAP BETWEEN DIFFERENT CAPABILITIES. WE -- WHEN I GOT TO THE CITY, THE CITY HAD DONE SOME SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN WORKING WITH THE CONSULTING COMPANY TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF OUR CAPABILITIES, THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE,OW WE PROVIDE THOSE SVICES AND WHAT OUR GAPS AND THINGS ARE LEADING TO A STRATEGIC PLAN. THAT WAS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL FOR ME COMING INTO THE CITY AND IT GAVE ME A VERY GOOD PICTURE AND GAVE ME A LOT OF CONTENT TO DRIVE THE STRATEGY. I HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH MY TEAM TO MEET WITH ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND WE MEET WITH MOST OF THEM QUARTERLY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AND THE GAPS ARE IN OUR SERVICES, AND TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES. WE DID A LOT OF WORKING SESSIONS SHOULD BE DOING AND THEN LEVERAGING THAT CONSULTING WORK, MY TEAM HAS COME OUT WITH A ROADMAP OF OUR OWN STRATEGIC PLAN. YOU WILL SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION. WE CAME UP WITH WHAT EVERY ORGANIZATION DOES, A VISION AND A MISSION. AND THAT IS TO BE THE BEST TECHNOLOGY LEADER IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMUNITY WHILE ENABLING OUR ORGANIZATION TO EXCEED THE SERVICE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR CUSTOMERS. THOSE ARE THE CITIZENS AND THE BUSINESSES AND THE VISITORS AND THROUGH INNOVATIVE AND THE COST-EFFECTIVE USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO FURTHER REFINE THAT TO PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT AND ALLOWABLE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THE CITY DEPARTMENTS AND ENABLING THEM TO BETTER SERVE PLANO RESIDENTS. AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE'S SOME KEY PHRASES IN THAT AND THAT IS CONSULTATIVE. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE A BREAK FIX ORGANIZATION AND WE WANT TO FIX EVERYTHING THAT IS BROKEN, BUT WE WANT TO PROVIDE CONSULTATIVE SOLUTIONS TO SERVE THE CITIZENS EVERYTHING IN TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE ABOUT A CUSTOMER. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE'RE DOING. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO WAS TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE ALIGN TO THE CITY STRATEGY. NOW TECHNOLOGY SERVICES IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT ANIMAL. WE VERY SELDOM ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH CUSTOME THA ARE THE CITIZENS AND THE THINGS THEY EXPECT WITH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM THE CITY. I USE THE ANALOGY WITH MY TEAM THAT WE ARE LIKE THE TRACKS THAT THE TRAINS RUN ON. THE DEPARTMENTS, WHETHER IT'S NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES OR PLANNING OR ENGINEERING OR LIBRARIES -- THEY ARE THE CARS ON THE TRACK. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE ACTUALLY DELIVERING THE PAYLOAD OF GOODS AND SERVICES. MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE TRACKS ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY AND TO EVERY PLACE THAT THEY NEED TO DO. BUT WE STILL DO ALIGN AND YOU CAN MAP WHAT WE DO -- I GAVE A FOROBILITY SOLUTIO AND THE-UT TRACK MANAGEMENT AND MODERNIZATION EFFORT AND ASSET MANAGEMENT AND THE SOLUTIONS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH AND TRYING TO EXTEND THAT. AND THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH IS AROUND MANAGING THE PROJECTS. THAT IS THINGS THAT WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON. FOR SAFETY VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE COMPUTER AUTOMATED DISPATCH AND OUR RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR BOTH PV AND FIRE. AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, AGAIN BE, TO HELP WITH MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THEN THE INNOVATIVE AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENTS AROUND OUR REP SYSTEMS AND THE JDE PART AND CYBERSECURITY IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THAT. NOW, I'D LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE SHOW-AND-TELL FUN AND KIND OF GIVE YOU A BIT OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE AND THE DEPTH OF THE WORK THAT WE DO. IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT I CALL "BY THE NUMBERS" ON OUR NETWORK COMPONENT IN OUR TELECOM WE HAVE 14,700 MONITORED INTERFACES, ALMOST 5,400 DAILY WIRELESS USERS AND 424 ACCESS POINTS TO ENABLE THAT, AND 13 TERRA BYTES OF DATA TRANSFERS AND 529TERA-BYTES OF WIRE TRANSFERS I WON'T RUN THROUGH ALL OF THE NUMBERS. ON THE TELECOM, WE DO 123,000 PHONE CALLS A MONTH, AND THAT IS JUST THROUGH SKYPE, THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE ZOOM AND THE OTHER GO TO MEETING OR OTHER THINGS THAT WE USE. AND WE HAVE 13 CONTACT CENTERS OR HELP DESK AS YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM. AND 4,200 PHONE NUMBERS AND 1,675 PHONES SUPPORTED. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SYSTEMS AREA, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WHAT IS A PEDABYTE. AND TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THE SCALE OF THAT, THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS IS ESTIMATED TO BE 3PEDABYTES OF AREA SO WE'RE AT 1.8, THAT'S A LOT OF DATA THAT WE MANAGE AND STORE, FROM OUR VIDEO STORAGE TO OUR DOCUMENTS. THAT IS 721 SERVERS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT TODAY AND 2,620 MAILBOXES, AND WE SEND ALMOST 1.7 EMAILS OR RECEIVE THAT MANY PER MONTH, AND WE SEND 235,000 PER MONTH. AND WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND CAMERAS THAT WE MANAGE. THE SERVICE DESK IS SUPPORTING 3,200 COMPUTERS, 960 CELLPHONES AND 675 TABLETS AND 325 PRINTERS AND THOSE PRINTERS PRINT 665,000 PAGES PER MONTH. AND I NEED TO TOUCH ON THE RADIO THERE, AND WE JUST DO THE RADIO FOR OURSELVES BUT WE SUPPORT 14 OTHEAGENCIES A WE SUPPORT ALL OF THE RADIO -- SO WE DON'T HAVE 5,800 RADIOS BUT WE SUPPORT 5,800 RADIOS. SO WE DO THAT FOR THE ENTIRE AND WE HAVE 10 RADIO TOWERS. ON THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE, WE HAVE THERE'S MORE THAN THAT, AND I ONLY COUNTED SIGNIFCANT APPLICATIONS AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SMALL, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT WE SCRIPT AND THINGS THAT WE DO WE DO 728 SUPPORT REQUESTS ANNUALLY AND 3,141 DATABASES. AND WE HAVE 372 COMMERCIAL OFTHE -SHELF INTERFACES THAT WE SUPPORT. AND WE HAVE THOSE REP SYSTEMS THAT HAVE 71 APPLICATIONS OF WORK FLOWS AND 12 MODULES AND SUPPORT ALMOST 4,200 USERS. IN GIS IT'S A SIZEABLE COMPONENT FOR US. YOU THINK OF GIS AND YOU THINK OF A MAP AND GIS IS USED TO DRIVE S MANY APPLICATIONS FOR THE CITY. WE HAVE 71 PUBLIC APPLICATIONS, THAT IS A FULL APPLICATION IN THE GIS SPACE AND 64 INTERNAL APPLICATIONS AND 1 DASHBOARDS AND 971 TABLEAU DASHBOARDS AS PART OF OUR COMPONENTS. SO I TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE WERE DOING TO THE FINAL STRATEGY. AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME THAT WE HAVE GOOD GOVERNANCE AND WE WANT TO MANAGE IT LIKE IT'S A BUSINESS BUT IN A MUNICIPAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T DO THINGS, AND WE HAVE TO DO IT STRATEGICALLY TO ENABLE OUR CITIZENS. AND THE SIX ITEMS THAT OUR TEAM CAME UP WITH THROUGH WORKING SESSIONS TO HAVE CONTINUITY OF SERVICESWITH THE BEST-IN-CLASS AND PRACTICE OF TECHNOLOGIES. THAT'S ALL AROUND BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY. IT'S A KEY FOCUS FOR US. ENHANCE ACCESS TO TIMELY DATA TO INFORM AND EMPOWER ORGANIZATIONS AND CITIZENS. THAT IS AROUND DATA-DRIVEN MANAGEMENT AND THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE LABELED THAT AND WE TRY TO MAKE THAT PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT THEAFERLG WE DO. AND WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND THE LEVEL OFE- AND THE NEXT TWO ARE AROUND MANAGING THE BUSINESS AND AROUND OUR CONSISTENCY OF DELIVERY AND PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES AND TRACKING WHAT WE DO ANDOING IT IN A PART AS GOVERNMENT WAY. AND THE NEXT IS REDUCING THE COSTS AND THE RISKS AND THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR LIFE CYCLE OF OUR APPLI APPICATIONS AND ASSE YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT TECHNOLOGY CURRENT, YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT PATCHED, AND IF LIGHT APPLICATIONS NEED TO BE PATCHED YOU NEED TO ASSESS IS IT TIME TO REPLACE THAT APPLICATION. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT ONE IS ABOUT. AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS JUST AROUND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE MEETING WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AND MEETING THEIR NEEDS AND ADDRESSING THEIR SPECIFIC BUSINESS PRIORITS IN A PRIORITIZED AND GOVERNMENT WAY. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS AROUND IMPROVING OUR CAPABILITIES THROUGH THE CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT OF OUR STAFF SO THAT WE CAN ELEVATE THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE. SO THIS IS AROUND KIND OF, AGAIN, GAINING A PERSPECTIVE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS VERSUS THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. AND WE ARE MAKING A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT AND I KIND OF WANT TO POINT THAT OUT. THE LAST FIVE YEARS HAVE BEEN PREDOMINANTLY BUILDING UP OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO RUN THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE IN A WAY THA W HAVE, ROBUST TECHNOLOGY BACKING UP THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE DOWNTIME AND CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS AND WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DELIVER THE SOLUTIONS THAT THE DEPARTMENT NEEDS. OF COURSE, WE HAVE DONE TARGETED POINTED DEPARTMENTAL SOLUTIONS. AND THERE WAS A LOT OF FOCUS ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT IS PREDOMINANTLY FOCUSED ON CORE TECHNICAL SKILL CERTIFICATIONS. WHERE WE'RE MOVING INTO THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, STRATEGIC PERIOD, WE WANT TO BE UNDER A BIGGER FOCUS ON THE CONSULTATIVE SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE DEPARTMENTS' NEEDS AND IMPROVE HOW WE MANAGE OUR INFRASTRUCRE, AND MINGURE THAT WE DON'T LET THAT LAPSE. SO THERE'S SO MUCH GOOD WORK DONE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND WE NEED NOT JUST OH, IT'S GOOD, WE'RE DONE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THAT MODERNIZATION EFFORT GOING, BUT WITH A FOCUS ON THE SOLUTION SIDE. AND THEN YOU WANT TO BASICALLY INCREASE OUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY CAPABILITIES AND WE WANT TO DO THAT VERY MUCH IN A BUSINESS-DRIVEN WAY AND NOT A TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN WAY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE -- AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS NOW -- WE DON'T WANT TO JUST HAVE A DR PLAN THAT SAYS WE'LL BRING UP, LET'S JUST SAY THE LIBRARY INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IF THERE'S A DISASTER. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT SYSTEM FOR THE LIBRARIES, IN A DISASTER IT'S NOT THE FIRST TO BRING UP. WE FEED TO BRING UP THE PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEMS AND DISPATCHING THE 911 CENTER AND THE PAYROLL SO PEOPLE CAN GET PAID. SO WE NEED TO MEET THOSE NEEDS. AND OF COURSE WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYEES BUT DO THAT MORE FOCUSED ON THE SOFT SKILLS AND THE CONSULTATIVE SKILLS AND THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THIS IS MY STICKY NOTE SLIDE. T THAN THE STRATEGIC SLIDE. EXAMPLES THAT I WENT THROUGH. BUT THIS MAKES IT MORE MEANINGFUL FOR MY TEAM AND HELPS US, WHENEVER SOMEONE COMES TO WITH US A PROJECT OR WE COME UP WITH A PROJECT OURSELVES TO RUN IT THROUGH THIS FILTER. SO IF SOMEONE WAS TALKING ABOUT A PROJECT THEY WANTED TO DO, SOMETHING AROUND MODERNIZING OR BRINGING IN A MODERNIZED APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT AND I WOULD LOOK AT THAT AND SAY THAT WE WOULD NEED MULTIPLE OF THESE. AND TO QUICKLY HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE WITHOUT READING IT TO YOU, WE HAVE A VERY BIG FOCUS ON CITIZEN ING ENGAGEMENT AND ACCEO INFORMATION. AND WE DON'T NEED TO FORCE THEM TO COME TO PRE-EXISTING SOLUTIONS. WE NEED TO MEET THEIR NEEDS IN THE WAY THEY EXPECT TO BE MET. AND WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR COLLABORATIVE TOOLS AND COVID TAUGHT US THAT, WE HAVE TO OPERATE IN THE MODEL THAT SUPPORTS HOW PEOPLE NEED TO WORK TODAY. AND WE WANT TO BASICALLY INCREASE OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENTS, WHICH I TALKED A LOT ABOUT, AND WE MEET WITH THEM AT LEAST ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, AND NOT JUST THE DEPARTMENT HEADS BUT THE KEY PEOPLE. AND OUR D.R. PLANS ARE INTIMATELY IMPORTANT TO US. A LOT OF THAT WILL BE DRIVEN BY HAVING STANDARDS AND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE SO WE HAVE REPEATABLE OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY BUT ABOUT THE PROCESSES THAT YOU USE. AND THEN BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION AND DATA-DRIVEN MANAGEMENT ARE KEY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TECHNOLOGY TO HAVE A FOCUS ON IS TRYING TO BE A FORCE MULTIPLIER WE CAN'T DO BIG TICKET FORCE AUTOMATION AND WE CAN'T INTEGRATION THINGS AND INTEGRATION MEANS THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT MANUAL LABOR IT. TRANSCRIPTION ERRORS. AND IT ALSO MEANS THAT DATA DOESN'T TAKE A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS TO GET THERE. THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE RUNNING THAT EVERY THREE MINUTES OR NEAR REAL-TIME WHEN NEEDED. AND THEN YOU HAVE BETTER DATA-DRIVEN MANAGEMENT AND YOU CAN TRUST THE REPORT THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT IS ACCURATE AND TIMELY. AND TEAM CULTURE IS KEY AND TECHNOLOGY GOVERNANCE IS KEY. SO, KIND OF WRAPPING THAT UP, STKY NOTE SLIDE,F YOU WILL. THESE ARE THE KEY PROJECTS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON. WE'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP A -- WORKING WITH THE CITY MANAGEMENT AND THE DEPARTMENTS THROUGH A PROCESS THAT I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PRESENTING THIS FRIDAY AROUND APPROACH TO CITY-WIDE APP, OR AS I REFER TO IT THE CITY PORTAL, AS A WAY AS I SAID ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, MEETING THE CITIZEN WHERE IS THEY'RE AT AND NOT UNDERSTANDING THEM HOW TO BUILD A WATCH TO TELL WHAT TIME IT IS. WE ARE WORKING ON MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TO MAKE THE PROCESS BETTER. WE HAVE LEGACY POLICE SOFTWARE AND WE'RE WORKING TO MODERNIZE THAT. NOT TO GET IN THAT MODERNIZATION LEVEL, BUT TO GET IT TO THE FUTURES AND THE FUNCTIONS THEY NEED. YOU CAN READ THROUGH A LOT OF THESE, BUT ONE OF THE KEY ONES HERE IS THE MODERNIZATION TOOL, THAT WE'LL BE PRESENTING THAT ONE ON THE FRIDAY AFTER NEXT. AND THAT IS TO ENABLE US TO DELIVER THE SOLUTIONS THAT AREN'T COMMERCIAL OFF-THE-SHELF SOLUTIONS, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A SWEEP OF TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS TO DO THAT. AND THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION, AND THE END -- END-OF-LIFE EQUIPME AND INCREASE OUR CAPACITY WITH THE RADIO, THAT MEANS THAT THEY WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OUTAGES AND GLITCHES IN THE RADIO. AND ENABLE US TO DO A LOT MORE IN AN AUTOMATED WAY AND PROGRAMMING RADIOS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND THE REST IS AROUND OUR SECURITY POSTURE AND SEVERAL PROJECTS TO HELP US TO DO THAT. AS QUICKLY AS I CAN, TELLING YOU ABOUT A VERY LARGE DEPARTMENT, I DID TALK FAST GIVEN THE TIME LIMIT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> Muns: THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ROGER? COUNCIL MEMBER RICCIARDELLI? >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE EXCELLENT WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AND FOR THAT GREAT PRESENTATION. ONE OF YOUR FIRST SLIDES TALKED ABOUT THE INFORMATION SECURITY THREATS THAT WE MAY FACE FROM OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY IN THE CURRENT GEOPOLITICAL LANDSCAPE. DO WE COORDINATE WITH OTHER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, REGARDING CYBERSECURITY ISSUES AND ATTACKS THAT WE MIGHT ANTICIPATE FROM FOREIGN ACTORS OR FROM TERRORISTS OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE? >> THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENTITIES AND SOME OF THEM I DON'T TALK ABOUT TOO MUCH PUBLICLY THAT WE GET INFORMATION FROM AND THERE'S MULTIPLE ONES THAT WE'RE PLUGGED INTO. THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE KNOWN THAT YOU EXPECT TO BE PLUGGED INTO, CISA IS A FEDERAL THEADGES IS SET UP AND WE GET CONSTANT ALERTS AND MONITORING FROM THEM. AND I WAS ENGAGING WITH THEM TODAY ON SOME THINGS SO IF IT'S AN INTERACTIVE RELATIONSHIP WE'RE ENGAGING WITH OUR CONTINUITY PLAN. SO WE GET A LOT OF ACTION ON THAT AND THERE'S A GENTLEMAN SITTING SOMEWHERE BEHIND ME THAT IS INVOLVED IN THIS, THANK YOU, SAM, THAT MAKES SURE THAT I GET THIS INFORMATION. >> Riccidelli: WONDERFUL, WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT WORK ON THAT. >> Muns: COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. >> Williams: I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. IN ONE OF THE EARLIER SLIDES WHEN YOU WERE SHOWING EVERYTHING BY THE NUMBER, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, 832 FAX ACCOUNTS OR SEVERAL HUNDRED ARE THOSE ALL STILL NECESSARY? >> WELL, THAT'S REALLY A DEPARTMENTAL QUESTION. [LAUGHTER] BUT THERE ARE -- SO I WILL TELL YOU FIRSTHAND THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SIDE, THAT IS THE WAY THAT A LOT OF THOSE AGENCY DOES BUSINESS. WE'RE CONSTRAINED IN THAT WAY AND THERE'S OTHER ONES THAT I HAVEN'T DUG INTO YET. >> AREN'T SOME OF THOSE THE DIGITAL FAX? >> THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. I MEAN, THE LIST IS LONG. THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THESE THAT ARE WHAT YOU ARE THINKING OF AS A TRADITIONAL FAX. VERY FEW. >> Williams: OKAY. SECOND, I THAN WE HAVE THE ANNUAL CYBERSECURITY TRAINING FOR STAFF, AND RECENT TRAINING IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST TRAINING THAT I WENT THROUGHOUT WHEN I WAS ELECT. YOU CONDUCT PHISHING DRILLS OR REPORTED MECHANISMS FOR SUSPECTED PHISHING? BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS A MUCH BETTER LOCK IN SOMEBODY'S MEMORY WHEN THEY CLICK ON SOMETHING AND THEY GET A MESSAGE SAYING THAT YOU FELL FOR IT. >> TO MAKE IT A SIGNIFICANT EXERCISE TO GO THROUGH THE SUITE OF THE TRAINING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S RELEVANT AND POIGNANT WITH THE ORGANIZATION. AND WE CUSTOMIZE THAT TRAINING AND AS FAR AS PHISHING GOES, I JUST PRESENTED ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO TO MY BOSSN APPROACH TO NPHISHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND IT'S A FAIR SOPHISTICATED PHISHING. THAT CREATES ANGST IN THE ORGANIZATION AND PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BEING TRICKED BUT IT'S A GOOD WAY TO IDENTIFY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL DO IS TO ACTUALLY TRACK PRIVATELY -- AND NOT PUBLICLY SHAME ANYONE -- BUT WE'LL PRIVATELY TRACK WHO FALLS FOR THE PHISHING AND SEND OUT TARGETED TRAINING AND THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THAT TRAINING AND WE'LL NOTIFY THEIR MANAGEMENT IF THEY DON'T. AND WE'RE ALSO DOING SCENARIOS WHERE WE'RE SENDING OUT SOME -- HAV'T SENT ONE OUT TO THE BROAD AUDIENCE BUT SOME SELECT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN IT. THEY'RE LIKE VIDEOETTES OF -- THEY'RE LIKE PROFESSIONALLY DONE, IT'S LIKE WATCHING THE BORNE IDENTITY KIND OF THING OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY HACKING SECURITY. LIKE, YOU KNOW, USING DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO SNEAK IN AND TAILGATING THROUGH DOORS AND THINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND SHOWING HOW THAT HAPPENS. SO WE'LL BE USING THAT AS WELL. >> Williams: OKAY, GREAT. AND MY LAST QUESTION IS ABOUT THE AGGREGATION EFFORTS AND BI. SO WITH DATA AGGREGATION AND A COUPLE O THE THINGS THAT LEAP TO MIND ARE COMPILING OUR AGENDAS AND BUDGETS BUT IT OCCURS TO ME THAT THERE'S NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CITY THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, STREAMLINE OUR DATA EFFORTS AND DATA SH SHARING AN SHA SHARING BUT YOU ARE MAKING TO NOT ONLY DRIVE THAT BUT TO HAVE ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS. >> YOUR QUESTION COULD GO A COUPLE OF WAYS. >> Williams: A LOADED QUESTION. >> WE JUST LAST WEEK UPDATED A PRODUCT THAT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN A VERY LONG TIME AND IT WAS A LEGACY FUNCTIONALI WHICH ALLOWS TO US DO LARGE DATA AGGREGATIONS TO HAVE DATA DEPOSIT TORIES. AND THE OLD VERSION HAD A DEPOSITORY PROVIDE. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO ASK FOR A DOCUMENT, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO -- YOU KNOW, TO SEE AND TO DRIVE INTO A CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD AND ANALYZE IT THEMSELVES. SO IT WILL ENABLE THOSE CAPABILITIES AND WORKING ON RELEASING THAT AS WE SPEAK. AND IT ALLOWS US TO USE IT INTERNALLY. WE ARE EXPANDING OUR TABLEAU EXPANSE AND DOING A LOT MORE -- A LOT LESS TARGET REPORTS, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS EXTREMELY MATURE -- LIKE, I'M STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH HOW MATURE THEY ARE AND WHAT THEIR REQUESTS ARE, BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING TONS AND TONS OF REPORTS AND CREATING THESE DEPOSITORIES TO DO ALL OF THIS IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS WHICH IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO GIVE THEM A REPORT THAT HAS THE WHOLE UNIVERSE OF DATA IN IT THAT ALLOWS THEM -- BASICALLY, TO NOT EVEN LOOAT THE DATA BUT TO LOOK AT THE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA TO DETERMINE IF THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THE DATA. SO WE'RE GIVING MORE OF THAT ANALYTICAL VIEW AND TABLEAU IS A GREAT TOOL FOR THAT AND THERE'S MANY TOOLS, WE HAVE BOTH OF THOSE, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO SETTLE ON ONE SO THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENCY. YES, SIR, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THAT. WE HAVE TO CREATE THOSE PROPERTIES. AND ONE THING THAT MAKES IT IMPORTANT FOR ME IN MY PRESENTATION AND TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS INTEGRATION IS THAT TOO MUCH OF WHAT WE DO IS DONE OUTSIDE OF THE SYSTEMS AND, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T AGGREGATE DATA THAT IS IN A FILING CABINET. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET ALL OF THE PAPER FORMS AND MAKE IT SO YOU CAN DO THE DATA-DRIVEN MANAGEMENT THROUGH THOSE THINGS AND IT'S A MULTISTEP PROCESS. >> Williams: THANK YOU, PERFECT, ROGER. >> Muns: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. GREAT JOB. OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE DEPARTMENTAL REPORT ANIMAL SERVICES. JAMEY CANTRELL. >> GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M JAMEY CANTRELL, THE ANIMAL SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF PLANO. AND I WILL KIND OF GO THROUGH OUR PRESENTATION HERE WITH YOU TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT. I'LL ALSO LET YOU KNOW THAT EVERY PICTURE THAT I HAVE OF THE ANIMALS HERE ARE ONES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE, SO ANYBODY WHO IS UP ON THE DAIS HERE IF THERE HAPPENS TO BE ANY CITY ATTORNEYS LOOKING FOR PETS -- [LAUGHTER] -- WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. BUT I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE, ANIMA CONTROL IS A MISNOMER. IF WE COULD CONTROL THE ANIMALS THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR TO US HAVE ANIMAL CONTROL. SO ANY CITY DEPARTMENT THAT IS STILL USING THAT TERM "ANIMAL CONTROL," I TELL THEM THAT THEY'RE LYING TO THEIR CITIZENS, WE ARE ANIMAL SERVICES. WE CAN SERVICE THE ANIMALS BUT WE DEFINITELY CANNOT CONTROL THEM. OUR OBJECTIVE -- EVERYTHING THAT WE DO ALWAYS HAS THREE MAIN OBJECTIVES. FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE ARE PUBLIC SAFETY. WEWE'RE THERE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FRO DISEASES AND FROM BEING BITTEN BY STRAY ANIMALS AND TO REDUCE THE VEHICLE DAMAGE AND ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE THAT DOES HAPPEN -- AN ANIMAL RUNS OUT IN FRONT OF THEM AND THEIR INSTINCT IS TO SWERVE AND THAT CAN SOMETIMES CAUSE REALLY BAD ACCIDENTS. I CAN'T BLAME THE PEOPLE, I MEAN, NOBODY WANTS TO RUN OVER ANY ANIMAL. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOES MEAN THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE PUT IN HARM'S WAY. WE'RE ALSO THERE TO PROTECT THE ANIMALS FROM ABUSE AND NEGLECT. AND WE HAVE DEALT WITH NUMEROUS SITUATIONS, ESPECIALLY RECENTL ANIMALS BEING ABUSED, THAT WE HAD TO STEP IN AND WORK WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ON. AND WE ARE THERE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE. SO IF THERE'S NUISANCES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DECIDES THAT WANT TO HAVE 150 CATS NEXT DOOR TO YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO BE THANKFUL THAT YOU CAN CALL US AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME OUT AND ADDRESS THAT FOR YOU. THERE WE GO. SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO ARE LOCAL RABIES CONTROL INCIDENTS. THOSE ARE WHAT WE -- WHAT MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER ANIMAL BES. BY STATE LAW, EVERY CITY AND COUNTY HAS TO DESIGNATE A LOCAL RABIES CONTROL AUTHORITY BY ORDINANCE. OUR LRCA IS ME. AND SO ANYTIME THAT A DOG, CAT, FERRET, OTHER ANIMAL BITES SOMEONE, WE HAVE TO GET INVOLVED AND ENSURE THAT THAT ANIMAL IS QUARANTINED ACCORDING TO STATE LAW. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT THEY COULD HAVE TRANSMITTED RABIES TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS BITTEN AT THE TIME OF THE BITE. SOMETIMES PEAT GET UPSET ABOUT IF YOUR OWN PET BITESOU, ITTTER- STILL HAS TO BE QUARANTINED. BUT THAT'S WHY WE TRY TO TELL PEOPLE THAT IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR RABIES VACCINATIONS CURRENT, BECAUSE AS LONG AS YOUR RABIES ARE CURRENT AND YOUR ANIMAL WASN'T VIOLATING THE LAW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE CAN ONLY DO A HOME QUARANTINE. THAT ALLOWS THE ANIMAL TO STAY HOME WHERE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE AND THE PEOPLE TO KEEP THEM, BUT BY LAW WE CAN'T DO THAT IF THOSE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET. WE ALSO ARE OUT THERE PICKING THE ANIMALS RUNNING LOOSE THAT HAVE ESCAPED THEIR YARDS AND OUT HAVING A FUN PLAY DATE. WE DO ADOPTIONS AND HUMANE, AND IF WE WEREN'T THERE TO DO IT, YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT VERY QUICKLY AS CREATING NUISANCE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DEAL WITH DANGEROUS ANIMALS AND PET REGISTRATION AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANIMAL RELATED ORDINANCES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S DOMESTIC OR WILD OR LIVESTOCK, WE'RE IN CHARGE OF HANDLING IT. SO OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR YOU CAN SEE THAT WE TOOK IN NEARLY 5,400 ANIMALS AND YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN THERE. THE MAJORITY ARE DOGS AND CATS BUT ALSO DEAL WITH WILDLIFE IS THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHERS. AND THERE ARE ALSO LIVESTOCK ANIMALS, BIRDS AND RABBITS AND OTHER SMALL ANIMALS THAT ARE IN THERE AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR NUMBERS OF RETURNED TO THEIR OWNERS. OUT OF THOSE EULGT EUTHANIZED THOUGH, OVER 300 WERE REQUESTED BY THE OWNER. SO WE HAD NO ANIMALS THAT WERE EUTHANIZED FOR SPACE LIMITATIONS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT OUR NUMBERS, THAT MEANS THAT ONLY 8% ROUGHLY OF ALL DOGS AND CATS TT WE HANDLE WERE EUTHANIZED. FOR A CITY SHELTER WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE TO EUTHANIZE SOME ANIMALS BECAUSE OUR JOB IS TO GET THE ONES THAT ARE NOT FRIENDLY OFF THE STREETS AND GET THOSE THAT ARE NOT HEALTHY OFF THE STREETS. SO, UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NO WAY TO SAY THAT WE WOULD NEVER EUTHANIZE ANYTHING, BUT THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE NATURE OF OUR DEPARTMENT. WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT COMES INTO US AND WE CAN ONLY RESPOND TO THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE WE NEED TO ASSIST. AND IF YOU SEE THERE, THAT'S NOT A WEIRD TYPO, HE IS ONE BLUE EYE AND ONE BROWN EYE AND IT'S STRIKING TO SEE HIM IN PERSON AS IT IS IN THAT PICTURE. WE COMPLETED OVER 10,000 FIELD CALLS AND YOU CAN SEE THERE HANDLED, 354 RAINY INCIDENTS IF EVERY BITE IN THE CITY OF PLANO WAS REPORTED TO US THAT NUMBER WOULD BE MUCH, MUCH HIGHER. BUT I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT PROBABLY -- WE MAY GET A THIRD OF ALL OF THE BITES THAT HAPPEN IN THE CITY, IF THAT, THAT ARE ACTUALLY REPORTED. BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE, IF YOU GET BITTEN BY YOUR OWN PET AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR OR ATHING F IT, THEY'LL PROBABLY NOT CALL US AND TURN THEIR OWN DOGS IN AND THAT MAKES UP THE MAJORITY OF THE BITES THAT WE DEAL WITH IN OUR CITY. OVER 35,000 VISITORS TO THE SHELTER AND WE STERILIZED OVER 1,70 ON A 0 ANIMALS FOR THE YE 8,910 VOLUNTEER HOURS, MOST CITIES WOULD BE VERY ENVIOUS TO HAVE THAT MANY VOLUNTEER HOURS DONATED. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR US THAT'S A DISAPPOINTMENT AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN ALL SECOND. BUT YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN THE LAST CITIZEN SURVEY THAT WE DID, THAT 77% OF RESPONDENTS SURVEYED AS SATISFIED OR VERY SATISFIED. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY CAN WORK ON, BUT IF YOU ALSO LOOK AT IT AND SEE THAT IS 24% ABOVE THE NATIONAL AND STATE AVERAGES FOR ANIMAL CONTROL. ANIMAL SERVICES PROGRAMS ARE NOT HISTORICALLY KNOWN AS BEING THE GOOD GUYS IN MOST SITUATIONS. IF ANY OF YOU CAN TELL ME A MOVIE RIGHT NOW WHERE THE DOG CATCHER WAS THE HERO? NO ONE? IT NEVER HAPPENS. THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT IS. WE -- YOU KNOW, EVEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS PEOPLE OUT THE THAT LE THEM, BUT ANIMAL SERVICES, IT'S A LITTLE HARDER SOMETIMES FOR PEOPLE TO LOVE US SO FOR US TO GET 77% IS -- IS ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER. BUT DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SATISFIED WITH. ALSO PET REGISTRATION PROGRAM. ALL DOGS, CATS AND FERRETS ARE REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED IN PLANO. SO THAT IS SO WE CAN VERIFY THEIR RABIES VACCINATION AND WE HAD 10,100 PETS REGISTERED AND THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER $97,000 IN REVENUE. IF ALL OF THE PETS IN PLANO THAT WE ESTIMATE TT IN THE CITY ARE HERE IT WOULD COVER OVER 50% OF OUR BUDGET. IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN YOUR REGISTRATION TAG FOR YOUR CAR. THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE BENEFIT FROM THE ROADS MORE BECAUSE THEY'RE OUT THERE DRIVING ON THEM AND EVERYBODY BENEFITS FROM ROADS BUT IF YOU OWN A CAR AND YOU'RE DRIVING, YOU HAVE MORE OF THE BENEFIT FROM IT AND YOU PAY MORE BECAUSE YOU'RE PUTTING THAT STICKER ON YOUR CAR. PETS ARE THE SAME WAY. AND THE MAJORITY OF THE CALLS THAT WE DEAL WITH ARE BECAUSE OF DOGS AND CATS. SO IF YOU HAVE THOSE AND THEN YOU'RE KIND OF CREATING THE NEED FOR OUR SERVICES MORE AND THAT'S WHAT YOUR REGISTRATION HELPS TO TAKE CARE OF. ADDITIONALLY, BY STATE LAW, ALL REGISTRATION FEES HAVE TO BE USED FOR THE ANIMAL SERVICES PROGRAM. SO LET'S SAY THAT EVERYBODY REGISTERED THEIR PETS AND THAT MONEY CAN'T BE USED TO FILL POTHOLES OR ANYTHING ELSE IT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DEAL WITH, WILDLIFE ISSUES THAT COUNCIL MAY GET CALLS ABOUT SOMETIMES -- THOSE ARE VERY CYCLICAL COMPLAINTS. WE HAVE EVALUATED OUR TRAPPING PROGRAM EVERY YEAR SINCE 2008 29 WHEN IT WAS ALM ALMOST HAS NEVEN RECOMMENDED FOR REINSTATEMENT, BECAUSE COST IS SO HIGH AND THE IMPACT IS NEGLIGIBLE ON THE WILDLIFE POPULATIONS. SO ESSENTIALLY YOU WOULD HAVE A VERY SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE IN PLANO WHO WOULD GET A HUGE BENEFIT FROM IT, VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WOULD SEE ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT. SO I TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY IS NOT THE BEST USE OF LIMITED RESOURCES. INSTEAD WE TRY TO DO EDUCATION AND EVEN THE PROBLEMS. WE WILL HELP PEOPLE IF THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TRAP AND WE'LL GO OUT AND PICK UP THOSE ANIMALS AND REMOVE THEM FOR THEM AND ALSO EDUCATE THEM ON HOW TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER ATTRACTANTS THAT ARE BRINGING WILDLIFE INTO THEIR HOMES OR NEIGHBORHOODS. BECAUSE WILD ANIMALS REALLY DON'T LIKE US. YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE COMING AROUND IT'S FOR FOOD, WATER OR SHELTER. IN FACT, ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO GET RID OF WILDLIFE IS TO PUT A RADIO OUT AND TO PUT IT ON TALK RADIO. THEY HATE THE SOUND OF OUR VOICES. [LAUGHTER] SO YOU PUT OUT THERE AND YOU GET A REALLY POLITICAL, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY'RE A LITTLEGGRAVATED AND THAT -- THAT WILL GET RID OF WHATEVER WILDLIFE YOU HAVE IN THE BACKYARD. [LAUGHTER] THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE. I'M NOT LYING TO YOU. IF YOU CALL US TOMORROW, THAT'S WHAT WE'LL TELL YOU. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN SEE HOW COVID KIND OF HAD AN IMPACT ON OUR DEPARTMENT. PRIOR TO COVID, OUR VOLUNTEER HOURS, YOU CAN SEE THERE OVER 18,000. WE LOST ABOUT 10,000 -- NOT QUITE 10,000 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER TIME, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT ON US BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT OUR STAFF HAS TO GO AND TO KIND OF TAKE THE PLACE OF ALL OF THOSE FREE HOURS THAT WE WER GETTING. SO OUR WORKLOAD GOES UP AND IT MAKES IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT ON US. PLUS, THE ANIMALS REALLY BENEFIT FROM HAVING THOSE VOLUNTEER COMES IN THE SHELTERS. WE LOVE THE VOLUNTEERS AND WE'RE JUST NOW TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING RAMPED BACK UP AGAIN WE HAVE A LONG WAITING LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO THROUGH OUR TRAINING PROGRAM AND START VOLUNTEERING WITH US. SO I'M HOPING THAT IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS WE WILL BUILD THAT BACK UP, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE YEAR BEFORE I STARTED IN PLANO, WE HAD ABOUT 2,500 VOLUNTEER HOURS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE GOT IT UP TO NEARLY 20,000. WE CAN DO THAT AGAIN,ND IT'S JUST GOING TO TAKE US TIME TO REBUILD. AND WE ALSO LOST OUT ON THOSE PRESENTATIONS BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GO OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND DO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE USED TO DO. OUR VISITORS AS YOU CAN SEE DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. AND YOUR VISITORS HAVE A CORRELATION WITH THE ADOPTIONS AND THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COME THROUGH THE MORE ANIMALS THAT YOU WILL GET ADOPTED AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN OUR NUMBERS THERE AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU? >> Muns: ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN SMITH. >>mith: THANK YOU, MAYOR. ONE THING THAT I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT -- I HAVE HEARD OR READ THROUGH SOME AREAS THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INCREASE IN THE DISTEMPER AMONG PET POPULATIONS HAVE WE SEEN THAT HERE IN PLANO OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT? >> WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT HERE IN PLANO YET. A FEW YEARS AGO I WANT TO SAY IT WAS AROUND 2016 IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WE HAD A HORRIBLE OUTBREAK OF DISTEMPER IN THE RACCOON POPULATION. RACCOONS ARE CAPABLE OF GETTING BOTH THE FELINE AND THE CANINE VERSION OF DISTEMPER. SO THEY ARE A CARRIER OF IT OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY. AND NOW WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF YOUR PETS HAVE ALL OF THEIR VACCINATIONS, NOT JUST DISTEMPER, BUT THE RABIES VARIATION AND THE PARVO VACCINATION AS WELL, BECAUSE THAT'S THE FIRST LINE OF PROTECTION FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET A RABID ANIMAL AND YOU DON'T KNOW IT AND YOUR DOG IS EXPOSED TO IT, WELL, YOUR DOG IS AROUND THE REST OF THE FAMILY SO IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THOSE VACCINATIONS CURRENT. AND IN ARLINGTON I BELIEVE THEY SAW A BIG OUTBREAK. THAT'S MOTHER NATURE'S WAY OF HANDLING OVERPOPULATION. YOU WILL SEE A DISEASE COME THROUGH. AND THE WEAKER ONES ALL DIE OFF, AND THE ONES THAT ARE LEFT CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEM. AND, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF GOES FROM THERE. NATURE HAS A VERY S CYCLICAL WAY OF DOING THINGS. AND WE MAY SEE IT COMING IN EARLY AND IT'S STILL EARLY. A LOT OF TIMES WITHISTEER, AFTER THE RAIN COMES THROUGH AND THE WATER HELPS TO GET THE DISEASE KIND OF TRANSMITTED -- OR TRANSMITTED FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. SO WE WILL SOMETIMES SEE THAT. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT THE WAY THAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST. >> Smith: GOOD, GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT HASN'T BEEN A PROBLEM FOR US HERE IN PLANO. THANK YOU. >> SO I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THIS MORE THAN I.T. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTIONED IN WHERE -- IF MY NEIGHBOR HAD 150 CATS, YOU KNOW, THE CAT LAD WHAT -- WHAT PROCEDURE DO YOU GUYS GO THROUGH IF WE WERE TO CALL YOU AND SAY, HEY, MY NEIGHBOR HAS 150 CATS, WHAT DO YOU DO? >> WELL, FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE GO OUT AND WE INVESTIGATE FOR OURSELVES. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY COMPLAINT THAT WE GET AS BEING THE TRUTH. WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND LOOK. IF WE FIND THAT THERE ARE MORE ANIMALS THAN ALLOWED BY ORDINANCE, WE'LL HANDLE THAT APPROPRIATELY. NOW 150, THAT WAS A LITTLE EXTREME, BUT HONESTLY WE HAVE DEALT WITH THAT HERE IN PLANO BEFORE. BU IN THOSE CASES WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE IN THE AREA TO GET THE PERSON HELP WITH THEIR HOARDING ISSUES THAT THEY HAVE. AND, YOU KNOW, FROM THERE WE WILL STAY ON TOP OF THEM A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT WE WOULD A REGULAR CITIZEN, WE'RE GOING TO GO BY AND DOING REGULAR VISITS AND THINGS, ONCE WE GET THEM DOWN TO WHERE IT'S LEGAL. >> Tu: THERE ARE TWO QUESTIONS THAT ARE REALLY INVOLVED IN THIS. ONE IS WILL YOU REMOVE, INVOLUNTARILY REMOVE THESE ANIMA? AND, TWO, DO YOU ACTUALLY LOOK INTO THE RESIDENTIAL OWNER TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ANY MENTAL ISSUES THAT IS CAUSING THEM TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THESE HOARDING ISSUES WITH PETS? AND, YOU KNOW -- I THINK THAT IS WHERE I WAS LOOKING AT. >> WE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE THEM VOLUNTARILY TO SURRENDER ANIMALS TO US. NUMBER ONE, THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US BECAUSE WE CAN IMMEDIATELY START, YOU KNOW, PLACING THEM IN NEW HOMES OR HANDLING THEM APPROPRIATELY. IF WE HAVE TO SEIZE THEM LEGALL WITH A WARRANT, THEN THAT'S GOING TO DRAG IT OUT TO WHERE IT COULD TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS BEFORE WE CAN GET FINAL OWNERSHIP. SO WE ALWAYS WANT THEM TO VOLUNTARILY GIVE THEM TO US. A LOT OF TIMES THEY WILL WORK WITH US AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT. RECENTLY, WITH GETTING THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE HAVING TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. NOW WE WILL ALSO WORK WITH OUR PROPERTY STANDARDS DEPARTMENT AND COME IN, BECAUSE THERE ARE HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED DUE TO THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE THERE PRESENT DUE TO THE ANIMALS. AND SO THERE'S A VARIETY OF RESOURCES THAT WE U. IF THE PERSON -- WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THIS, IF THEY'RE A TRUE ANIMAL HOARDER, YES, THEY HAVE MENTAL ISSUES. IT'S A RECOGNIZED MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER NOW. WE WILL TRY TO GIVE THEM RESOURCES AND WE WILL TRY TO HELP THEM TO FIND THE HELP THAT THEY NEED. BUT WE CAN'T FORCE THAT UPON THEM. >> Tu: RIGHT. >> YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN FILTH AND SQUALOR IF YOU WANT, AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT CREATING A HEALTH NUISANCE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BASICALLY. >> Tu: I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, I'M SORRY. AND THE SECOND IS THE EUTHANIZE PET. YOU MENTIONED THAT WITH ABOUT 300 OF THE EUTHANIZING ARE DONE DUE TO OWNE LIKE, IF THE OWNER IS HERE, LIKE, PUT THIS DOG TO REST -- >> UM-HMM. >> Tu: DO YOU JUST SAY, OKAY, FINE, WE'LL JUST DO THAT? >> NO, WHAT WE DO -- WHENEVER SOMEONE BRINGS AN ANIMAL IN LIKE THAT, WHAT THEY SIGN IS THE OWNERSHIP OF THE ANIMAL OVER TO THE CITY. AND IT SAYS IT'S OUR DISCRETION WHAT WE DO. IF WE HAD A SITUATION -- WELL, IT WAS THIS PAST YEAR -- NOT TOO LONG AGO WHERE THE PEOPLE TOLD US THAT THE DOG WAS HORRIBLY AGGRESSIVE AND BITING EVERYONE IN THE HOUSEHOLD AND SO THEY SIGNED IT OVER FOR EUTHANASIA AND WE'RE PULLING HIS TAIL AND EAR AND NOTHING. AND THEY ENDED UP COMING MAD THAT WE HADN'T U EUTHANIZED IT D WE SAID WE'RE NOT DOING THAT AND WE COULDN'T FIND A REASON WHY. THAT IS A RARE SITUATION. THE VAST MAJORITY OF TIMES PEOPLE WHO BRING THEIR PETS TO US FOR EUTHANASIA THEY'RE DOING IT FOR GOOD REASONS, BECAUSE THE ANIMAL IS SO OLD AND AGGRESSIVE AND NOT SAFE TO BE AROUND THEIR OWN FAMILIES OR THE COMMUNITY. SO IT IS VERY UNCOMMON FOR US TO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH IN THOSE SITUATIONS, BUT IF WE SUSPECT ANYTHING, OR WE'RE NOT SEEING WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING IS WRONG WITH THE ANIMAL, NO, WE WILL NOT EUTHANIZE IT JUST BASED ON THEIR WORD. >> Tu: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> JEREMY, ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT AND NOT FOR A RESPONSE RIGHT NOW BUT WE'LL GET AN EMAIL FOM YOU LATER ON. BUT CAN YOU PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE BACKYARD HENS? >> I CAN, AND I CAN DO THAT VERY QUICKLY. SO WE HAVE HAD -- IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY -- I THINK THAT THERE WERE 14 APPLICANTS SO FAR. THERE ARE SIX THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED. OUT OF ALL OF THOSE THOUGH, ONLY ONE WAS APPROVED ON THEIR VERY FIRST TRY. EVERYBODY ELSE -- IT'S KIND OF TIME INTENSIVE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE MEETING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF THE ORDINANCE. I WILL TELL YOU THOUGH THAT WE EXPECT TO GET MORE COMING IN DURING THE SPRING. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TALKED TALKEDABOUT,HAT, Y KNOW, THE DIDN'T WANTO BRING IN NEW CHICKS FOR THE WINTER. OBVIOUSLY, WHEN THE LITTLE ONES DON'T DO SO WELL IN THE COLD. SO THEY'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL IT GETS -- WE'RE PAST ALL OF THE FREEZES AND THINGS AND THAT'S WHEN THEY'LL START, YOU KNOW, GETTING THEIR COOPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I'LL HAVE BETTER INFORMATION ABOUT THAT TOWARDS THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AS FAR AS THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE DEALT WITH, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT CURRENTLY. >> Muns: THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. >> Muns: NEXT ITEM,TEM 5, DEPARTMENTAL REPORT, PLANNING DEPARTMENT. CHRISTINA DAY. >> HI. GOOD EVENING. ALL RIGHT, I WILL HAVE TO REMEMBER NEXT TIME TO TRY TO GET A BETTER AGENDA PLACEMENT, NOT AFTER THE CUTE DOGS AND CATS AND OTHER ANIMALS. [LAUGHTER] SO I'LL TRY TO DO MY BEST TO KEEP THIS INTERESTING IN COMPARISON. SO, I AM PLEASED TO TALK TO YOU THOUGH ABOUT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE THIS EVENING. SO, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S MISSION IS TO -- OF COURSE, TO HELP TO FULFILL THE CITY'S VISION TO MAINTAIN PLANO AS A GLOBAL ECONOMIC LEADER, BONDED BY A SHARED SENSE OF COMMUNITY, WHERE RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE UNPARALLELED QUALITY OF LIFE. AND HOWE DO THAT IS THROUGH OUR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING PLANNING DEVELOPMENT HERITAGE PRESERVATION AND LAND RECORD SERVICES AND THROUGH COOPERATIVE EFFORTS THAT ENGAGE PLANO CITIZENS AND CONTRIBUTE TO BOTH THE LONG-TERM AND THE IMMEDIATE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CITY. SO THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENTS SPAN ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING AND PRESERVATION AND LAND RECORDS PLANNING. AND THAT'S ALL TIED TOGETHER THROUGH OUR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. SO YOU WILL SEE THOSE THROUGH THE SLIDES. WE KIND OF TIE THAT TOGETHER THROUGH THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT. ONE OF THE MAIN ROLES IS OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE. SO THIS JUST GIVES A LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF THE VARIETY OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FUNCTIONS THAT WE PROVIDE. ONE OF THE KIND OF POINTS THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE HERE IS HOW, AGAIN, YOU HAVE HEARD SORT OF THE THEME THROUGH THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS THIS EVENING -- COVID, 83 WALK-INS. WELL, THAT'S KIND OF ABNORMAL, RIGHT? WE NORMALLY HAVE 7,000 TO 8,000 WALK-IN CUSTOMERS. THE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED THROUGH MUCH OF THE YEAR. DID MAINLY VIRTUAL SERVICES. SO THAT'S REALLY UNUSUAL. SO WE'RE SEEING THAT PICK UP. BUT THAT WAS A VERY UNUSUAL NUMBER FOR LAST YEAR. AND WE HAVE TWO STANDING BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT ARE SOME OF THE PRIMARY ROLE OF OUR SUPPORT WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH REALLYANTAIC CITIZENS THAT ARE APPOINTED TO SERVE ON THESE BOARDS. AND THEY MEET REGULARLY. WE SEE THE NUMBER OF PLANS AND PROJECTS THAT ARE APPROVED THROUGH BOTH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS THROUGH THE HERITAGE COMMISSION LAST YEAR. THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO RUN STRONG IT'S A CONSISTENT NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THAT COME THROUGH THE HERITAGE COMMISSION, 42 CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS WERE ISSUED LAS YEAR, SO THAT -- THOSE NUMBERS WERE NOT REALLY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF HERE IS THAT THE CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS, THE MAJORITY ARE ISSUED AT STAFF LEVEL AND ARE TURNED IN A DAY OF LESS, REALLY ALMOST THIS PROGRAM HAS REALLY DONE A LOT OF WORK. I WANT TORAG FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE OVER THE LAST FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS. IT'S DONE A FULL OVERHAUL. WE NOTICED THERE WERE SOME KIND OF MISALIGNMENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS, SO THERE'S BIN A FULL REVAMP. THE PRESERVATION PLAN, THE HERITAGE ORDINANCE, THE TAX EXEMPTION ORDINANCE AND THE GUIDE R DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR BOTH AND THE COMMISSION WORKING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO ENABLE CONSERVATION DISTRICTS. ALL THE THINGS HAVE ALIGNED THIS -- FULLY ALIGNED THIS PROGRAM OVER THE LAST, AGAIN, FIVE YEARS OR SO. THOSE EFFORTS HAVE GARNERED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 20 IT 1. YOU MAY THINK, HEY, ISN'T THAT PRECT OVER? FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE IT'S KIND OF GETTING STARTED. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK THAT'S BEING DONE ON THIS NOW THAT THE PLAN WAS ADOPTED. WHAT IS IT YOU'RE DOING -- WE'RE DOING ON THIS? WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH DEPARTMENTS TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN. WE'VE SENT SPREADSHEETS TO EVERYONE WITH THEIR ASSIGNED PLANS. THEY'RE UPDATING THEM BY PRIORITY, STATUS, TIME FRAMES FOR COMPLETION, TRYING TO GET FUNDING SOURCES IDENTIFIED AS WELL AS POSTERS FOR DEPARTMENT. WE WANT THIS TO BE TOP OF MIND THOSE ACTIONS A PART AND ND - ENGRAINED WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT'S WORK PROGRAMS. WE WANT THEM TO BE SOMETHING THAT THEY SEE ON A REGULAR WERE RE-INSTITUTING THE ANNUAL REPORT, AND NOW THE PROGRESS IS SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD FOR TRANSPARENCY. WE ALSO WANT ONLINE PROGRESS SO THAT'S PAVR THAT ANNUAL REPORTING. WE WILL HAVE THAT INFORMATION A PART OF THE WEBSITE SO THAT THERE IS, AGAIN, TRANSPARENCY. PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT IT ANY TIME TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON, AND THEN FEEDBACK TOOLS ONLINE SO PEOPLE CAN TELL US HOW THEY THINK WE'RE DOING. DO THEY LIKE THESE PROGRAMS, THESE POLICIES? GIVE US THAT TYPE OF INSTANT FEEDBACK ON THE PLAN. THEN WE CAN REPORT THAT BACK TO THE ANNUAL REPORT TO YOU. MOVING ON TO DEVELOPMENT REVIEW. INTERESTINGLY, WE HAD A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PLANS LAST YEAR. THAT'S A 20% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. A 9% INCREASE OVER THE 2018-2019 YEAR. WE'VE SEEN A JUMP IN DEVELOPMENT OVERHE LAST YEAR, AND THEN ALSO, WE'RE SEEING ZONING CASES TAKE LONGER TO PROCESS, SO WE HAD MORE ZONING CASES LAST YEAR. WE HAD 48 ZONING CASES LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS A HIGH IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND THEN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE LENGTH MUCH TIME IT TAKES TO PROCESS ZONING CASES. MOVING ON FROM THAT. LOOKING AT WHERE ZONING CASES ARE LOCATED REALLY WE GENERALLY HAVE KIND OF A BROAD SPREAD OF ZONING. THIS YEAR -- OR IN THE LAST YEAR WE'VE HAD A CONCENTRATION OF ZONING. THAT'S BEEN A BIT UNIQUE. YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE REALLY SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CITY. A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF U.S. 75. I KNOW YOU ARE ALSO AWARE THAT WE'VE BEEN FOCUSED ON ZONING IMPROVEMENTS. A LOT OF THOSE CAME OUT OF THE PROCESS AND LAN REVIEW PROCESS. WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO GET COVERAGE FROM THE "DALLAS MORNING NEWS" ON THE ALERT TOOL. LAST I CHECKED WE HAVE ABOUT 600 RESIDENTS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP. PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY SELECT BASED ONIP CODE TO GET EMAIL ALERTS WHEN ZONING CASES IN THEIR AREA ARE THERE. WE ALSO HAVE A NEW INTEGRATION ONLINE WITH OUR ACTIVE ZONING PETITIONS PAGE, SO THAT'S EASIER TO USE. CAN YOU SEE PLANS AND MAPS RELATED TO THAT INFORMATION, SO LOTS OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR BETTER ACCESS TO INFORMATION ON ZONING FOR THE PUBLIC. WITHEGARDO UNDEVELOPED LAND, WE KEEP TRACK OF THIS EACH YEAR, AND THERE ARE 2,100 ACRES CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED. A LITTLE OVER. 2,139. THAT WAS REDUCED BY 116 ACRES. THAT RESULTS IN 4.6% UNDEVELOPED LAND. I KNOW THAT SEEMS TO JUST KIND OF SEEP DOWN LITTLE BY LITTLE. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN SAYING 5% FOR A LONG TIME. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT GOING ON, BUT A LOT OF THAT IS ALSO REDEVELOPMENT EXISTING PARCELS, SO WHILE YOU MAY SEE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING, IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE KNOCKING UNDEVELOPED PARCELS OFF THE MAP. THAT MAY BE WHY. LOOKING AT RESIDENTIAL DEVEL DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS OUR LONG-TERM HOUSING PERMITING TRENLDZ STARTING BACK IN THE MID 1990s WHEN WE HAD A LOT OF HOUSING GOING ON. TO MY KNOWLEDGE OUR BIG HOUSING SPIKE THAT WE HAD THE MOST HOUSING GOING ON IN THE 1990s BEING BUILT REALLY IN THE 1990s AND THEN THIS YEAR WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT LOW OF HOUSING. 317 SINGLE FAMILY PERMITS. 347 MULTI-FAMILY PERMITS, AND 97 INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS WHERE, HERE'S OUR ACTIVE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS IN GREATER DETAIL, ALL THIS INFORMATION IS ON OUR ANNUAL REPORT THAT YOU CAN FIND ON THE DEPARTMENT WEB PAGE. ALL THIS DETAIL IS IT AVAILABLE ONLINE, BUT YOU CAN SEE BROKEN DOWN ALL THE ACTIVE DEVELOPMENTS WHERE RESIDENTIAL IS BEING DEVELOPED THROUGHOUT THE CITY, SO YOU CAN SEE EVERY LOCATION THAT THERE'S RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING. AND BY TYPE. IT'S SORTED BY TYPE. THEN WHERE THERE ARE EXISTING UNION ITS, PENDING UNITS, AND PROJECTED UNITS, AND THE POINT THAT I THINK IS INTERESTING HERE IS THIS WAS IMPACTED BY THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT'S RELATED TO AND STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY THE FUTURE LAND USE. THIS IS OVER THE NEXT -- THE CITY IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT 95% HOUSING OCCUPANCY WITH A POPULATION OF 28000 OR JUST OVER. IN THE 2020 CENSUS. YOU SEE OVER TIME THE SIGNIFICANT DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES. WE ARE BELOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE 2020 CENSUS. A JRT -- NO LONGER MAJORITY WHY WE HAVE NO MAJORITY POPULATION FROM AN ETHNICITY PERSPECTIVE, SO THERE HAVE BEEN -- CONTINUE TO BE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN THE ASIAN AND HISPANIC POPULATIONS, AND THAT FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE MEET ANNUALLY WITH ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, OR OFFER TO MEET ANNUALLY. TYPICALLY WE HAVE PLANO ISD AND FRISCO ISD ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS AS WELL AS COLLIN COLLEGE. WE SEE SIGNIFICANT TRENDS WITHIN THE CITY AS FAR AS A REDUCTION SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN. WE HAVE THE CITY OF PLANO COMPARED TO THE COUNTY, THE STATE, AND THE UNITED STATES SO WELL. THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS NATIONWIDE DO SHOW SHOW THE AGING OF THE POPULATION. YOU CAN SEE HOW PLANO'S POPULATION ESSENTIALLY ARE AGING FASTER. WHILE WE HAVE FEWER SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN OR YOUNG CHILDREN THAN THE NATIONAL,STATE, AND COUNTY TR TRENDS. THAT'S ALSO REFLECTED IN OUR SCHOOLPOP LAS VEGAS, SO YOU SEE HOW THE SENIOR POPULATION IN PISD COMPARES TO THE KINDERGARTEN POPULATION AND HOW THAT WAS IMPACTED VERY KIND OF ABRUPTLY BY THE PANDEMIC. WE HAVE TWO INTECTIV TOOLS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH. ONE STEPS DIRECTLY FROM THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN REVIEW PROCESS. THE LAND USE AND HOUSING INVENTORY. THAT IS ONLINE. YOU CAN GO AND CHECK OUT ANY PLACE IN THE CITY. LOOK AT SPECIFIC LAND USE DATA AND HOW THAT RELATES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SPECIFIC PARCELS. THEN INTERNALLY WE HAVE A MASTER HOUSING DATABASE, SO THAT HELPS US PULL CONSISTENT, ACCURATE TIMELY RESPONSIVE HOUSING REQUESTS, SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU BETTER, QUICKER HOUSING DATA. THEN, COMING AT YOUR NEXT MEETING WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT A SILVER LINE CORRIDOR MARKET STUDY WITH THE NEW STATIONS COMING ONLINE QUICKLY. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AN ECONOMIST TO PROVIDE MARKET DATA THAT SHOWS HOW THE REAL ESTATE WE'LL BE BRIING THAT TO YOU. THEN I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF RECOGNITIONS THAT WERE RECEIVED FOR THE PRESERVATION PLANO 150 PLAN. IT WAS RISED BY -- TEXAS AS WELL ASTHE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND WE RECEIVED A RESPONSE AWARD LAST YEAR. THAT COMPLETES MY DEPARTMENT AWARD. THANK YOU, CHRISTI. ANY QUESTIONS? THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A QUESTION. I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE, AS HEAVY A LIFT AS IT WAS TO -- FOR YOU AND YOUR STA OF TO WORK THROUGH THE CREATION OF THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, TO YOUR POINT AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PRESENTATION, I RECOGNIZE THAT ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING IT IS A MAMMOTH TASK BY ITSELF. I WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO QUICKLY ALSO SAY GREAT WORK ON THE 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I KNOW THAT WAS A HEAVY LIFT FOR THE STAFF AND THAT THE PASSAGE OF THE PLAN IS THE TIP OF THE ICERG. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED WORK ON THAT. YOU MENTION THE TIME IS LONGER TO COMPLETE ZONING CASES. IS THAT MORE A PRODUCT OF THE COMMISSION OR THE COUNCIL, OR SOMETHING ELSE? ARE WE HOLDING CASES UP, OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? THE CASES THEMSELVES ARE GETTING MORE COMPLEX. WE HAD THE MAJORITY OF CASES ARE STILL TAKING THE SAME KIND OF 90-DAYTIME FRAME. THERE WERE A FEW CASES THAT TOOK MUCH LONGER, SO THERE WERE A FEW OUTLIERS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT WERE JUST VERY COMPLICATED OR LONG CASES. THINGS LIKE THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. THAT CASE WAS VERY LONG. THAT'S ONE THAT WAS INCREDIBLY -- THE NUMBERS O THAT SKEWED THE AVERAGE, I'LL SAY. THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN CHSHGS WE SOMETIMES SHORTEN TO TO AARP. ON JUNE 1st WE RECEIVED THE FIRST TRAUNCH OF MONEY. $18.2 MILLION. PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH COUNCIL ABOUT APPROPRIATING THOSE FUNDS. THE CITY WAS ABLE TO COVER THOSE FUNDS BY CLAIMING 100% OF THEM FOR REVENUE REPLACEMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES. I HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT THOSE FUNDS. STAFF HAS MET TO CONSIDER PROJECTED THAT COULD BE COMPLAINT WITH PREVIOUS DIRECTION WE'VE RECEIVED FROM COUNSEL FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY ON PROJECTS THAT HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT TO THE BUDGETS THAT WOULD BE FORTHCOMING NOW OR POSSIBLY THEUTURE WITH THE CIP, AND THE PREFERENCE FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS HAD BEEN TOWARDS THOSE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. WITH THAT THE CITY STAFF HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS ALLOCATING $10 MILLION TO THE WATER AND SEWER FUND. THE WATER AND SEWER FUND EXPERIENCED DECREASED REVENUES AS MANY OF OUR WORK FROM HOME STATUS AS WELL AS OUR SCHOOLS. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED REVENUE LOSS COMMENSURATE WITH THAT DISCUSSION OF $10 MILLION. WE RECOMMEND ALLOCATION OF THOSE FUNDS TOWARDS A PARALLEL SEWER INTERCEPTOR. THAT WOULD BE RUNNING ALONG PLANO PARKWAY. THIS PROJECT IS JUST ABOUT -- WE BEGIN IN THE SUMMER 2022 AND SO THAT WOULD PROVIDE SOME RELIEF THROUGH THE CAPITAL FUNDS OVER . TO THE GENERAL FUND.N WOULD BE - WE HAVE BEEN PURSUING -- FORTIFYING IN SOME WAYS OUR HEATING AND COOLING AND SOME OF THE CITY FACILITIES, KNOWING THAT THE ELECTRIC GRID EXPERIENCED SOME CHALLENGES DURING WINTER STORM YURI. WE HAVE LOOKED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO PROVIDE HEATING AND COOLING STATIONS AT SOME OF THE OUR RECREATION CENTERS AS WELL AS PLANO EVENT CENTER. WE HAVE PUT IN ORDERS FOR A NUMBER OF GENERATORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN -- NEED TO FINISH UP IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PRONL AND THAT THAT WOULD TOTAL ABOUT $5 MILLION, AND SO THAT IS PART OF THE GENERAL FUND. A SECOND PORTION OF THAT DEALS DIRECTLY WITH A FURE -- A FUTURE PROJECT. IT'S A COMPLETE OVERHAUL. OUR NEXT BOND REFERENDUM WOULD INCLUDE A PROJECT THAT WOULD INCLUDE A SIDE ACQUISITION IN BUILDING OF A NEW BUILDING FOR FIRE STATIONS BEFORE OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE LOCATED A PIECE OF LAND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO FIRE STATION 3 THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO KEEP OURS. WE THINK THAT FORWARD WITH ACQUISITION OF THE LAND WOULD SECURE THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN OUR SERVICE LEVEL IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. THE NEXT BOND REFERENDUM, INSTEAD OF HAVING THE ENTIRE PROJECT TO PAY FOR IT THROUGH DEBT, WE WOULD JUST HAVE THE BUILDING PORTION. SO. >> WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THI BEFORE. DO WE ANTICIPATE THAT -- THE APPROPRIATE FUNDS THAT WE DON'T HAVE. WHILE COUNCI WOULD BE GIVEN THIS DIRECTION TONIGHT. WE ALSO HAVE, AS YOU KNOW, A STAFF MEMBER AND A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS IN WASHINGTON D.C. WE ARE TALKING WITH OUR DELEGATION AS WE -- AS THEY'RE THERE EXPLAINING WHAT WE WOULD BE USING WITH THE FUNDS AND ADVOCATING THAT THE SECOND TRAUNCH BE DELIVERED WITH THE INTENT OF USING THEM LIKE THIS PER THE ORIGINAL ACT. >> SECOND POINT, ALSO, IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH AN EXCELLENT PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP, FIRE, AND POLICE THAT ARE ALWAYS OUT, THEY'RE ALWAYS ON THE GO WITH A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE THAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY IN FUEL COSTS, THERE'S NO WAY THAT ANY ONE OF US COULD HAVE PERCEIVED THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND BUDGETED FOR IT, SO I JUST WONDER IF WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER PUTTING SOME OF THAT GENERAL FUND MONEY ASIDE FOR THE UNEXPECTED EXPENSES WE'RE GOING TO SEE FROM -- TO GO IN THE DIRECTION OF SPENDING. COUNCILMAN, THAT'S OBSERVATION, AND IF ANYBODY CAN TELL ME EXACTLY WHERE THE FUEL COSTS ARE GOING TO GO, I'M WAITING FOR AN ANSWER. >> $7.25. THERE WE GO. $7.25. WE'RE GOING TO BOOK THAT. THAT USE FOR FUEL WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND DOUBLE-CHECK THE POSSIBLE USES FOR THAT. THE $3.2 MILLION THAT WE'VE SET ASIDE FOR THE LAND ACQUISITION IS A NUMBER WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE IDENTIFIED A PIECE OF LAND THAT WE THINK WE COULD POSSIBLY SECURE FOR THAT. IF IT WAS COMING IN LOWER THAN THAT, WE WOULD HAVE SOME FUNDS AVAILABLE TO BE ABLE TO BE USED AND CLAIMED UNDER THE SALARIES PROVISION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, AND SO THOSE FUNDS COULD COME INTO THE GENERAL FUND THROUGH THE USE OF SALARIES, WHICH COULD PROVIDE RELEASE IN OTHER AREAS IF WE CHOSE TO GO THAT WAY IF THERE WERE SOME SAVINGS ALONG THOSE LINES. DENISE IS NODDING HER HEAD. I'M GETTING THE OFFICIAL BLESSING FROM THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT. SXWLOO THANK YOU, MARC. APPRECIATE THE ANSWERS. ABSOLUTELY. >> COUNCILMAN RICADELLI. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WANT TO THANK MARK AND STAFF FOR PUTTING THIS LIST TOGETHER. THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT ITEMS. I THINK THAT ESPECIALLY GIVEN WHAT COUNCILMEMBER SMITH MENTIONED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT CERTAIN THAT WE'LL RECEIVE THESE FUNDS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT YET, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HOLD THIS DISCUSSION OVER TO OUR FOURTH COMING ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS WHICH WILL BE COMING UP IN FOUR MONTHS STARTING IN JULY ANYWAY. I THINK RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THREE THINGS THAT ARE UNDOUBTEDLY IMPORTANT ITEMS BUT WE'RE NOT LOOKING ATHE BUDGET HOLISTICALLY, OTHER COMPETING NEEDS, AND TO ME THIS WOULD BE PIECEMEAL BUDGETING IF WE DO THIS TONIGHT. I THINK IT'S MORE OF A CITY OF EXCELLENCE PROCESS TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS AS PART OF THE HOLISTIC ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS AND SINCE IT'S STARTING IN FOUR MONTHS AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MONEY YET AND AREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHEN WE MIGHT GET IT, IF WE'RE GOING TO GET IT, DUE TO THE FEDERAL APPROPRIATION, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY RUSH. ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR GIVEN THE CHALLENGING BUDGET PROCESS THAT I THINK WE'LL FACE WITH CHALLENGES DUE TO INFLATION THE POSSIBILITIES OF A RECESSION THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, AND THE FUEL COSTS THAT COUNCILMAN SMITH MENTIONED. I THINK WE NEED ALL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE TO WORK TOGETHER ON A BUDGET UNDER CHALLENGING AND DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. PRIOR TO THE MEETING, I CONFIRMED WITH THE CITY STAFF AND, OF COURSE, CONFIRMED AGAIN EARLIER THIS EVENING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROPRIATE THIS FOR SPECIFIC USES TONIGHT. WE CAN ACCEPT IT FOR REVENUE REPLACEMENT DUE TO PROVISION OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND THEN WAIT ON SPECIFIC APPROPRIATIONS UNTIL THE BUDGET OCESS. I WOULD MAKE THE SUGGESTION THAT THAT WOULD BE THE PRUDENT COURSE OF ACTION. >> UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT WE SHOW THERE'S REVENUE REPLACE AM, BUT WE HAVE TO DESIGNATE WHAT WE'RE SPENDING IT ON. THAT'S PART OF IT IS YOU HAVE TO SAY WHERE THE FUNDS ARE GOING, AND THAT'S AT THE TIME YOU ACCEPT THEM. WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME IDEA WHERE THAT'S GOING. THAT'S THE REASON IT'S DIFFICULT. >> YOU MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AT THE TIME THAT WE ACCEPT THE FUNDS. ASSUMING THAT THE FUNDS ARE APPROPRIATED, WHAT'S THE DEADLINE FOR ACCEPTING THE FUNDS? >> WELL, WE'LL ACCEPT THEM IF THEY BECOME AVAILABLE AT THE END OF MAY. THE THING IS SOME OF THE MONEY CAN BE FUNNINGIBLE. WE CAN SAY WE'RE USING IT FOR SALARY LEPLACEMENT, AND THEN IF THAT FREES UP MONEY FOR OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE DETERMINE TO DO AT THAT TIME, THAT'S PART OF THE BUDGET DISCUSSION. I ADVISE YOU PUT IT IN LIMBO AS TO WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO USE THE FUNDS FOR. STILL GIVEN THAT WE'RE NOT CERTAIN THAT WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE THESE FUNDS YESTERDAY AND THAT THEY HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN APPROPRIATED DID HE FEDERAL LEVEL, AND ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THE INFORMATION OF THE MEETING HAS BEEN THAT WE COULD HOLD OFF ON THIS, I STILL THINK IT WOULD BE -- IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO AT LEAST HOLD OFF UNTIL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ACTUALLY APPROPRIATED THE MONEY TO US, AND, YOU KNOW -- AND AS THE DIRECTOR MENTIONED. I THINK APPROPRIATION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SALARIES OR SOMETHING THAT WOULDLEECURE OUR FLEX IBLGT IN WHAT WILL BE A CHALLENGING BUDGET PROCESS. >> DO YOU HAVE -- COUNCILMAN ON THE TIMING FOR THE ALLOCATION OF THE PROJECT. MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT. THE FIRST THING, THOUGH, IS WATER AND SEWER, AS YOU KNOW, IS NOT GENERAL FUNDS. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SCENARIO, AND YOU'RE VERY WELL AWARE OF ENTERPRISE FUNDS VERSUS THE GENERAL FUND. THAT'S A LITTLE SEPARATE ASPECT OF THINGS. AS FAR AS THE SALARIES AND THE ALLOCATION, DENISE AND HER TEAM ARE THE AUTHORITIES ON THAT, AND SO IF THERE'S -- IF THERE'S AN ASPECT OF TIMING TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PROJECTS VERSUS ANYTHING ELSE, I WOULD DEFER TO DENISE ON THAT. WITH THAT, I THINK -- >> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE WATER AND SEWER. I KNOW THAT WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PLANS TO INCREASE THE SEWER RATES OVER TIME, SO AM I ASSUMING CORRECT THAT IF WE PUT THIS $10 MILLIONS INTO THE SEWER FUND BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING US TO UTILIZE IT FOR THIS PARALLEL SEWER LINE, THAT WE WILL NOT BE OFFSETTING THE COSTS OF THE SEWER, AND YOU WILL STILL BE COMING BACK TO US THIS NEXT YEAR TO RAISE SEWER COSTS AGAIN? >> SO THE -- FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE FINAL NUMBERS YET FOR THE WATER DISTRICT FOR THAT, BUT I WOULD ANTICIPATE EVEN WITH THIS THERE WILL LIKELY BE A SEWER INCREASE KNOWING WHERE THE WATER DISTRICT IS GOING WITH THEIR SEWER RATES. THIS WILL NOT ABSORB OR PROVIDE ENOUGH RELIEF TO AVOID POSSIBLE INCREASES IN THE FUTURE. WHAT IT WILL DO IS IT WILL PROVIDE SOME NEEDED RESOURCES SO THE INCREASE MAY BE LESS THAN WHAT IT MIGHT BE WITHOUT IT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I HAVE A QUESTION. MAYBE IT'S MARK'S QUESTION. IF WE HAVE THE $18.2 MILLION THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING THROUGH, AND WE HAVE TO DESIGNATE, EARMARK IT, DOES IT HAVE TO BE DESIGNATE, EARMARKED TO A CERTAIN PROJECT? FRARCHLG, DOES IT HAVE TO BE WATER AND SEWER? CAN IT BE GENERAL? CAN IT BE ALL GENERAL FUNDS, AND THEN ONCE IT COMES IN, WE COULD THEN DESIGNATE WHERE IT GOES THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND? >> WELL, THIS FIRST TRAUNCH WE'VE ALREADY DESIGNATED WHERE IT'S GOING. THERE'S THE WEIGH FINDING PROJECT, AND THERE WAS THE REC REVOLVING. WECATED INDICATED IN OUR REPORTING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WE'VE INDICATED WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THE INSTRUCTORS AND THAT SORT OF THING FOR THE REC REVOLVING FUND. WE'RE PAYING FOR THE WAY FUNDING PROJECT AND THE VISITORS BUREAU, AND THE REST OF IT IS -- WAS SALARY REPLACEMENT. >> WE'VE ALREADY INDICATED THAT THIS SECOND TRAUNCH IS GOING TO BE MOSTLY PERSONNEL. NOT THE SECOND. THE FIRST ONE WAS. >> RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND THE FIRST ONE. SO THE FIRST ONE WE ALREADY DESIGNATE AND SEPARATED. I REMEMBER THAT DISCUSSION, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD IDEA THAT WE REPLACE A LOT OF THE REVENUE THAT WE LOST FOR TOURISM AND ALSO EVENTS. THIS SECOND ONE, I THINK, COUNCILMAN RICADELLI'S POINT IS WELL TAKEN THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS DO WE HAVE TO DESIGNATE THAT THIS MONEY NEEDS TO GO TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT TO WATER AND SEWER, AND THEN THE REMAINDER GOING TO GENERAL? CAN IT ALL BE DESIGNATED AS GENERAL FUNDS AND THEN EVENTUALLY WHEN WE DO GET THE MONEY, WE COULD THEN DECIDE WHAT -- HOW MUCH TO GO TO WHERE? IT COULD, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY. IF WE DESIGNATED ALL OF THE SALARY REPLACE AM THE, WHICH WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT, AND THEN AT A LATER DATE WE SAY THE WATER AND SEWER FUND NEEDS SOME HELP. LET'S ADJUST IN TERMS HAVE TRANSFER OR TECHNOLOGY SERVICES FUND OR THOSE KIND OF THINGS. THERE ARE WAYS TO MOVE THOSE LEVERS AROUND WITH THE BUDGET. >> THERE'S NO PROBLEM IF WE JUST DECIDE THAT IF OUR DIRECTION IS TO JUST GO THROUGH TO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THEN ULTIMATELY LATER ON DURING THE BUET SSION TO START DETERMINING WHAT AREAS REALLY NEED ASSISTANCE. WHEN WE RECEIVE -- WE CANNOT PROGRAM ONE-TIME PROGRAMS FOR RECURRING COSTS. YOU BUILD IN A STRUCTURAL DEFICIT. ANY TIME YOU HAVE A RECURRING COST THAT YOU FUND WITH ONE-TIME FUNDS, WE END UP WITH A SCENARIO THAT WE END UP BUILDING OURSELVES A FUTURE DEFICIT. ANYTHING WE SPEND THIS ON NEEDS TO BE A ONE-TIME COST. >> OKAY. >> GOTCHA. >> IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH THE GENERAL FUNDS PROPOSAL? >> JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR, WE'RE GOING TO ACCEPT ALL OF THEM TOWARDS THE GENERAL FUND. WE'RE GOING TO APPLY THEM TOWARDS SALARIES, AND AS PUBLIC SAFETY SALARIES, AND THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY -- >> NO RECURRING TYPE EXPENSES. WHEN WE GETS TO THAT POINT -- WE'LL NEED TO DISCUSS IT. WE'LL GET THERE. WE'LL APPLY THOSE TO PUBLIC SAFETY SALARIES. >> THANKS. >> COUNCILMAN WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE. REQUESTED ITEM O IS TO BE PULLED R FUTURE MEETINGS. ANYTHING ELSE? ANY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION ACTION OF FUTURE AGENDAS? ALL RIGHT. ON WE'LL MOVE TO THE REGULAR SEASON. WOEL TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK AND START AT 7:10.

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I DID VOTE FOR BIDEN, SO I GET -- AND I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF HATE FROM PEOPLE AND STUFF, BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, THE REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE HE SAID I AIN'T GOING TO BE BLACK IF I DON'T VOTE FOR HIM, SO I HAD TO STAY IN THAT REALM, YOU WHAN I'M SAYING? I HAD TO VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN, BUT I GOT THIS LITTLE POEM HERE I WROTE BECAUSE Y'ALL BE GETTING ME MESSED UP ON THIS CHILD SUPPORT STUFF BECAUSE I GOT KIDS. I HAVE DALLAS TOO. I'M ON HOUSE ARREST. YOU SEE THE ANKLE? I'M ON HOUSE ARREST. KIDS TOO. I'VE BENL GETTING LAWYERS AND ALL THIS STUFF OUT HERE, BUT THEY AIN'T DOING NOTHING FOR ME. ALL THESE KIDS. THIS IS MY WALLET. YOU FEEL? THIS IS MY WALLET. IMAGINE THAT. IMAGINE HOWUCH CHILDUPPO THAT IS. I CAN'T EVEN GO OUT TO THE NIGHTCLUB BECAUSE THEY AIN'T GOT DAYCARE UP IN THERE. WHAT AM I DOING? YOU FEEL ME? I CAN'T DO NOTHING. I CAN'T JOIN UP IN THE MILITARY. THIS IS MY POEM I WROTE. THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY THIS CHILD SUPPORT OR THEY'RE GOING TO LOCK ME UP, BUT I GOT TO PIE THEM NEW JORDANS IN STOCK. MY LIFE IN THE FAST LANE. I'M JEFF GORDON. NEW GUCCHI BELT I'M FLEXING. YOU BETTER BE RECORDING. I DO IT FOR THE GRAM. I'M LIKE BARK AMA BECAUSE WE BOTH WHITE, AND EVERYONE BHO DISAGREE AIN'T RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO BE THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND MAKE PLANUM TRAC. I'M GOING TO BE JUST LIKE EM AND DRE. THAT'S FACTS. DEADBEAT DAD FOR LIFE LIKE SOMEONE GOING TO GET ME MY PLAQUE.

I CAN'T WAIT. SHOUT OUT TO THE GREAT RESET WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM. TKE MY KIDS. TAKE MY KIDS. YOU HEAR ME? I CAN'TAIT FOR THAT. REPRESENT THE BAY AREA, OAKLAND. SHOUT OUT. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER SHARON OVERALL. BABIES EXPOSED TO SECOND HD SMOKE IN THE WOMB OR AFTER BIRTH GROW UP WITH WEAKER LUNGS THAN BABIES THAT ARE NOT EXPOSED TO SECOND HAND SMOKE. THIS IS WHAT I LIVE WITH EVERY DAY. I AM MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO COLDS AND INFECTIONS. A SMALL AMOUNT OF CIGARETTE SMOKE MAKES THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE IMMEDIATELY THROB. THIS IS THE ALLERGIC REACTION. IF THE SMOKE GETS IN MY THROAT, I IMMEDIATELY START COUGHING AND HACKING TRYING TO GET OUT THE SMALL PARTICULATE MATTER. OWE HAVE TO CARRY INHALERS. IT'S HARMFUL TO YOUR HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS WHERE, EXPOSURE EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME CAN BE HARMFUL TO BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS. I ALWAYS WONDER WHY SMOKERS EXPOSE OTHERS. THE OTHER DAY WHILE I WAS GOING TO HOME DEPOT IN OHIO, I WAS ENGULFED IN A HUGE CLOUD OF CIGARETTE SMOKE. IT WAS A COLD MORNING, SO WHY D WALK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO SMOKE? WHY NOT SMOKE IN HIS TRUCK WHERE IT WAS WARM? A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS AT KROGER AND A SMOESHG WAS SMOKING NEAR THE BUILDING. HE WAS 50 2350E9 FROM THE DOOR. WHY DID HE GET OUT OF HIS CAR AND WALK TO THE BUILDING TO SMOKE? WHY DO SMOKERS DANGLE THE CIGARETTE OUT OF THE WINDOW OF THE KA ARE. THEY DON'T WANT THE SECOND HAND SMOKE EITHER? WHY DO THEY EXPOSE OTHERS TO SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT THEMSELVES. IF YOU ARE IN A CAR BEHIND THE SMOKER THAT HAS A CIGARETTE DANGERING EVERILE US OUT OF THE WINDOW, THEN YOU ARE GETTING MORE OF THE SMOKE THAN THE ACTUAL SMOKER. ESPECIALLY IF THE WIND IS BLOWING IN THEIR DIRECTION. ROLL UP THE WINDOW AND KEEP IT TO THEMSELVES. I BELIEVE THAT IF THE SMOKER KNOWS THAT SECOND HAND SMOKE IS AS DEADLY OR DEADLIER THAN FIRSTHAND SMOKE, AND THEY DON'T WANT ANY MORE EXPOSURE TO IT THAN NECESSARY. THEY JUST NEED THEIR FIX. THEY TRY TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM THEMSELVES. THEY DO NOT CARE IF THEY ARE EXPOSING OTHERS IT THEIR CHOICE. THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF THE NONSMOKERS TO NOT BE EXPOSED. WE NEED A ORDANCE OF STATES. THE NON-CONSENSUAL EXPOSURE TO SECOND HAND SMOKE AND THE UNINVITED PRESENCE OF SECOND HND SMOKE SHALL CONSTITUTE A NUISANCE, IS PROHIBITED, AND IS MADE UNLAWFUL. SMOKING SHALL BE BANNED ON ALL PUBLIC PROPERTY, INCLUDING STREETS, SIDE WALKS, PARKS, AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS. SMOKING SHALL BE BANNED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. EXCEPTIONS WOULD BE CLEARLY MARKED DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WHERE SMOKE IS CONTAINED TO THE AREA MARKED. IT DOES NOT EXPOSE PERSONS IN EAS ENO THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO SECOND HAND SMOKE, AND PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY PROVIDED THE SMOKE IS CONTAINED AND DOES NOT ENTER NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JEREMY MAT MATTHEWS. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. FIRST THING I WANTS TO -- OH, I'M JEREMY MATTHEWS. VE IN PLANO, AND IT'S 75025. I MENTION MY ZIP CODE BECAUSE THAT WILL BE RELEVANT IN A FEW MINUTES. FIRST, I WANTED TO JUST THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING THE PLANO LISTENING TOUR. I PARTICIPATED IN ONE OF THOSE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE PLANO Y, BUT IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A NICE DAY, AND COUNCILMAN RICIADELLI WAS THERE, AND THE CITY MANAGER. I GUESS YOU MET THEM ALL. ONE OF THE THINGS -- IT WAS DONE WELL. I THOUGHT EVEN THOUGH COULDN'T MAKE IT IN PERSON, THEY DID IT ON ZOOM, AND WITHOUT A HITCH I THOUGHT. REALLY GOOD. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT -- WELL, WE HAD OUR BREAK-OUT SESSIONS IN THE PLANO LISTENING TOUR. ONE THING I BROUGHT UP THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE LARGER THING WAS I BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE IN A DIFFERENT FORUM WAS OUR ELECTION SYSTEM, AND THIS DOESN'T REFLECT ON ANY COUNCIL PERSON HERE, BUT I THINK IT'S AN AT LARGE -- IT'S MOSTLY AN AT LARGE VOTING SYSTEM, AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO BE MOVING MORE TO A SINGLE DISTRICT VOTING SYSTEM FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. I MAINLY JUST BECAUSE I GET MORE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION, AND IS THE OVERHEAD WORKING? OKAY. SO I DID A LITTLE BIT -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S READABLE. ANYWAY, I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH, JUST SOME NUMBERS ON THE REPRESENTATION OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON PLANO CITY COUNCIL. I LOOKED AT THE POPULATION OF PLANO ANDROKE IT DN BY ZIP CODE. IT WAS JUST SORT OF AN EASY WAY OF DOING IT. FOUND IT ONLINE. I'VE GOT COPIES OF THESE TABLES IF YOU GUYS CAN PASS OUT. SO WHAT I NOTICED WAS THAT WE'VE GOT ZIP CODES 75032, 25, 75074, 75 AND 93 IN PLANO. THE REPRESENTATION ON CITY COUNCIL IS WE'VE GOT TWO IN 75023, ONE IN 24, TWO IN 25, ZERO IN 74, WHICH IS ALL OF THESE PNO, S THERE'S NOBODY LIVING IN EAST PLANO THAT'S EAST OF 75 THAT'S ON CITY COUNCIL. THAT IS KIND OF AMAZING. ALSO 75075. THERE'S NOBODY ON CITY COUNCIL FROM THERE. 75093. THERE'S THREE PEOPLE ON CITY COUNCIL. IT'S GETTING MORE THAN ITS FAIR SHARE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT EVERY POSITION SHOULD BE AT LARGE. I THINK THE MAYOR SHOULD CERTAINLY BE AT LARGE, BUT ANYW MOVING TOWARDS MORE SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS BECAUSE WHEN IT'S ALL AT LARGE YOU CAN GET PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE RESOURCES. IS IT TIME? OKAY. ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO SAY WE SHOULD GO TO A MORE SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICT SYSTEM, AND I LEFT SOME CHARTS WITH THE PERCENTAGES AND STUFF, SO THANK YOU. MR. MATTHEWS, I WANTED TO JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A HYBRID IN PLANO. ALL ARE ELECTED AT LARGE, SO EVERY CITIZEN CAN ELECT EVERY COUNCILMEMBER. WE HAVE THE FOUR RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS AS YOU MENTIONED. FOUR POSITIONS DO HAVE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS, AND IT DOES TURN OUT THAT DISTRICT ONE DID HAVE OUR DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM ACTUALLY LIVING IN 750734 WHEN SHE WAS ELECTED AND HAS MOVED. STILL WITHIN DISTRICT ONE, BUT WAS 75 074 WHEN SHE WAS ELECTED THE FIRST TIME. CLIFICATION. A POINT OF I'LL SHOW YOU THESE TABLES, BUT 75074, 75075 THAT COMPRISES ABOUT 31% OF THE CITY'S POPULATION, AND THERE'S NOBODY FROM THOSE ZIP CODES SITTING ON COUNCIL. THAT'S ALMOST ONE-THIRD OF THE CITY, AND THERE'S NOBODY FROM THOSE ON CITY COUNCIL. I THINK WE ARE A CITY OF EXCELLENCE, AND I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE AN EXCELLENT SYSTEM OF ELECTING CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. ONE LAST THING THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL REMINDED ME. ANY CHANGE TO THOSE REQUIREMENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE A CHARTER ELECON BY THE CITIZENS IN ORDER TO AMEND THE CITY CHARTER. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW. ALL RIGHT. >> SOMETHING ELSE WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT -- AFTER YOUR TERM. ONCE YOU FILL OUT YOUR FULL TERMS. THANKS, MR. MATTHEWS. XWL XWLO. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS TOM SATARO. COULD YOU -- DO YOU SEE THE MIC? IT WAS NOT -- THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. >> MY NAME IS TOM, I LIVE AT 6020 GARDEN GATE DRIVE, PLANO, TEXAS 75024. I'M HERE TO KIND OF TALK TO COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT POTENTIALLY GETTING A NO PARKING SIGN ON MY BLOCK FOR MULTIPLE REONS. DON'KNOWF YOU CAN SEE IT HERE FROM THE VIDEO. I HAVE KIND OF A PRINT-OUT OF THE STREET. I'M ONLY ASKING FOR A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE BLOCK. I THINK PREVIOUSLY THE NEIGHBORS ASKED FOR NO PARKING DOWN THE ENTIRE BLOCK WHICH GOES FROM. IT WAS EITHER VOTED DOWN OR DENIED. I'M JUST ASKING FOR THE SECONDS THAT GOES BETWEEN YELLOW FLOWER WAY TO LAZY OAK LANE. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT WIND HAVEN IS KIND OF LIKE A CUL-DE-SAC THE WAY IT LEADS INTO OUR AREA. THIS SIDE DOESN'T HAVE A TURN IN, BUT THIS SIDE DOES. MOST OF THE TRAFFIC THAT'S RETURNING FROM WIND HAVEN WILL GO TO WHERE THE ENTRANCE RETURN IS. THEN COME UP GARDEN GATE DRIVE. THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC IS COMING. MY HOUSE IS THE HOUSE THAT IS SITUATED HERE. AT THE TURN OF LAZY OAK LANE. THERE'S A LOT OF PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET, WHICH ARE THERE ARE SCHOOL BUSES FOR MAKING TURNS. AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY, MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS HAD REQUESTED THE ENTIRE BLOCK, AND THAT WAS SHUT DOWN, AND MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THE PEOPLE PAST LAZY OAK LANE DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS NECESSARY. THE FOLKS IN FRONT MUCH ME AND BESIDE ME DO FEEL IT'S NECESSARY. HERE'S A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE PARKING THAT GOES ON THE STREET. I'LL SEE IF IT COMES UP ON VIDEO HERE. >> WE'LL GET THOSE DOCUMENTS IF YOU DON'T MIND. OKAY. MY NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET, HIS NAME IS J.J. HE OWNS A TOW TRUCK BUSINESS, LUXURY CAR RENTAL BUSINESS, AND AUTO REPAIR AND FULL USED CAR BUSINESS AND A POOL SERVICE BUSINESS. HE RUNS THOSE BUSINESSES OUT OF HIS HOME. HE ALSO HAS A LOCATION UP IN DENTON. A LOT OF TIMES HE DOES HIS AUTO REPAIR RIGHT THERE IN GARDEN GATE IN PLANO. BECAUSE OF THAT THERE'S CARS AND MONTHS, FOUR MONTHS, FIVE MONTHS. THEY DON'T MOVE. I ASKED HIM TO MOVE THE CARS WITH THE VEHICLE. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR, AS I SAID, SCHOOL BUSES TO TURN, DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. HE BASICALLY FLIPPED ME OFF. SOON AFTER THAT I KIND OF WAS WALKING MY DOG. HE APPROACHED ME. HE TLELTENNED ME. THEN SHORTLY AFTER MY TIRES WERE SLASHED ON MY CAR. I HAVE A POLICE -- COPY OF THE POLICE RECORD HERE THAT'S GETTING FILED. AM I OVER TIME? >> TAKE 30 MORE SECONDS. GO AHEAD. >> FINALLY ON 228 I PUT A NEW COUNTER UP AND I CAPTURED IMAGES OF THE SCHOOL BUS TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE TURN. IT COULD NOT NAVIGATE THE FIRE HYDRANT. THE DRIVER HAD TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECK AND BACK UP AND DO A K TURN AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THAT SCHOOL BUS THREE TIMES, OR TWO TIMES, EXCUSE ME, MAKE THREE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THE TURN. I FINALLY SENT THAT IN. THVS MY -- I COUNTED IT -- 42nd EMAIL INTO THE FIX IT AND PLANO GROUP. THEN WALKING MY DOG, AGAI. APPROACHED ME. HE SAID A LIEUTENANT FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CALLED HIM. IF I EVER FUCKING DO THAT AGAIN, I WOULD GET MY ASS KICK. THAT LASTED ABOUT A WEEK. THEN HE STARTED DOING CAR REPAIRS AGAIN, AND THERE'S VEHICLES -- THIS PICTURE IS NOT TOO GOOD, BUT THERE'S AN ESCALATE PARKED RIGHT OFF THE CORNER. >> DO WE HAVE -- I THINK YOU FILLED OUT A REGISTRATION FORM. WE WILL HAVE OUR STAFF REACH OUT TO YOU TOMORROW WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AND OUR DEPARTMENT WILL LOOK THROUGH THAT WITH YOU TOMORR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LETTING US KNOW. CAN I LEAVE THIS? >> YEAH. >> THANK YOU. >> OUR LAST SPEAKER IS JOSE MAR MARTINEZ. (SPEAKING SPISH). >> I WANT TO START THIS AS THE THING JUST TO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME. (SPEAKING SPANISH). THE REASON IS I COME OVER HERE. EL GAS PRICE. SPEAK ENGLISH.SA CDC, AND I ONE OF THE THINGS, YOU KNOW, THE GAS IS A DISGRACE TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORKIES. LIKE MYSELF. I'LL BE GOING BACK AND FORTH TO ME MEXICO. THERE'S NO. I LOVE MY CITY. PLANO. (SPEAKING SPANISH) YOU KNOW I -- I DON'T WORRY. I LOVE TO GO AND COME BACK. THE GAS PRICES ARE INSANE. (SPEAKING SPANISH) I JUST OF THE TO SEE WHEN THE CRAZY APOCALYPSE OF EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OVER. YOU KNOW? ? OKAY. ONE OF THE THINGS IS, YOU KNOW, WE NEED MORE HISPANIC -- I'M TRYING TO EXPAND THE HISPANIC -- THE COMMUNITY IN PLANO. WE'RE VERY HARD-WORKING PEOPLE. WE NEED MORE -- YOU KNOW? WE NEED MORE FOOD, LIKE TACO BELL AROUND THE CORNER. YOU KN, I'M TIRED OF EATING THE -- I DON'T WANT TO EAT NO MORE OF THAT. WE NEED MORE TACO BELLS IN OUR CITY. YOU KNOW, SHE SAYS THAT THE SMOKING. I DON'T LIKE THAT. SHE'S RIGHT ABOUT THAT. THE SMOKING, IT'S STINKY. (SPEAKING SPANISH) WE NEED TO FIX IT. >> OKAY. >> WE NEED TO FIX IT. >> THANK YOU. >> LISTEN TO ME. >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. MOVING ON TO THE -- THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE ACTIVE UPON IN ONE MOTION AND CONTAINS ITEMS THAT ARE ROUTINE AND TYPICALLY NONCONTROVERSIAL.

GRANTING SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR AN ACRE OF LAND LOCATED 88 FEET -- AND 920 FEET EAST OF HOYT ROAD OF THE CITY OF PLANO, COLIN COUNTY TEXAS PRESENTLY ZONED CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL AND PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE, A REPEALER CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, THE PUBLICATION CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. HELLO AGAIN. I'M CHRISTINA DAY, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. THIS SUM WAS SUBMITTED UNDER THE INTERIM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT IS A REQUEST FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AND IS LOCATED AT COYT AND THE GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED QUARTER COMMERCIAL AND SURROUNDED BY QUARTER COMMERCIAL ZONING ON ALL SIDES. THE PROPERTY DOES FACE THE HIGHWAY 190 FRONTAGE ROAD, AND DOES ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC USE PERMITS IN THE VICINITY. BOTH ARE FOR PRIVATE CLUBDS. THE PROPERTY IS A LEASE SPACE. IT IS JUST OVER 5,600 SQUARE FEET. IT IS LOCATED WITHIN A SHOPPING CENTER. THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE REQUEST ON THE EXISTING SITE. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE AREA IS DESIGNATED MAJOR CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S ALSO PART OF THE MIXED USE POLICY STATEMENT THAT REFERENCES MAJOR CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT. ALTHOUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES NOT REFERENCE THIS USE, ARCADE SPECIFICALLY, IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE USES WITHIN MAJOR CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE USE SEPARATIONS WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRED FOR USES WITHIN THE CITY OF PLANO, AND THIS REQUEST MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR USE SEPARATIONS FOR ARCADE. WE DID RECEIVE ONE RESPONSE IN SUPPORT FOR THIS REQUEST. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE RESPONSE. THERE WERE NO RESPONSES WITHIN THE PROPERTY ITSELF OR WITHIN THE 200 FOOT BUFFER. AS INDICATED BY THE NUMBERS IN THE TABLE. SO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST BY VOTE OF 8-0, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVEN THI CASE. THERE IS A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT AS WELL. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANKS. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> I MANY NAME IS LOOK FRANZ. AT 2323 ROSS AVENUE. I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT BELONG GAMING ARENAS. WE BELIEVE IT'S A SIMPLE REQUEST, BUT BECAUSE IT'S A NEWERER CONCEPT, I WANT TO SHOW YOU A SHORT CONVERSATION TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND. THE BELONG CONCEPT IS THE IDEA OF A PHYSICAL ENTERTAINMENT VENUE WHERE PATRONS ARE COME TO WATCH, PLAY, AND COMPETE E SPORTS AND VIDEO GAMES. THIS WAS STARTED IN THE U.K. AND THERE ARE A BUNCH OF LOCATIONS, AND THERE'S ONE AT DFW IN GRAPEVINE, AND IT'S SEEN GREAT SUCCESS. PART OF THE SUCCESS IS DUE TO THE DEMAND FOR GAMING ON E SPORTS AND THIS INDUSTRY WITH $2.7 MILLION GAMERS WORLDWIDE, THIS INDUSTRY HAS GROWN TO BE EIGHT TIMES LARGER THAN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND FOUR TIMES THE FILM INDUSTRY. IN FACT, IN 2019 THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WORLD E-SPORT TOURNAMENT HAD DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF VIEWERS THAN THE SUPER BOWL THAT YEAR. THE DEMAND IS HIGH, AND WE BELIEVE PLANO IS A GREAT LOCATION WITH THSH. AS C YOU SEE, IT'S GAMING CONSOLES, INDIVIDUAL GAMING CONSOLES, AND COMPUTER SCREENS AND GAMING SCREENS. THESE ARENAS HAVE THE TOP GAMES, THE BEST GAMES, THE NEWEST ONES WITH ALL THE CONSOLES AS WELL. THERE'S A SMALL PORTION OF THE ARENA DEDICATED TO A SMALL RETAIL SPACE SO THAT YOU CAN BUY THE GREATEST GAMES OR CONSOLES. HERE'S JUST A LAY-OUT OF WHAT THIS LOCATION WOULD LOOK LIKE. ABOUT 60 CONSOLES IN TOTAL. AS MS. DAY STATED,T'ST THE MARKET PLAZA DEVELOPMENT AT COYT AND GEORGE BUSH. THE LOCATION IS PRIME AND IN A GREAT LOCATION. NOT BECAUSE OF THE -- NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE HIGHWAY ACCESS, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF UTD. I WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU CONTEXT IN THE MARKET PLAZA. IT'S IN THAT CORNER WHERE IT'S POINTING TO. AGAIN, WE'RE HERE FOR QUESTIONS. WE HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE TEAM HERE AS WELL. WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I DO. THANK YOU, STEVEN. OF COURSE. >>. >> I BELIEVE THAT THIS TYPE OF FACILITY ABSOLUTELY IS GREAT FOR PLANO BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY IN PLANO, AND YOUNG PEOPLE REALLY DPO NEED A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GATHER IN AND FIND EACH OTHER. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS THAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN ADDRESS IT. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF CURFEW IN THE FUTURE WHEN YOU BUILT?Y SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE GET TOGETHER IS THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET TOO INVOLVED AND TOO FOCUSED IN THEIR GAMES AND SOMETIMES IT LEADS TO MORE PHYSICAL ALTERCATIONS. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES THAT WOULD GO INTO BUILDING YOUR -- >> ABSOLUTELY. SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS -- BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF MANY IN THE U.S. AND U.K. AS WELL. THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM OR FASHION. IT'S MORE OF A PUT YOUR HEADPHONES IN AND FOCUS ON THE GAME, AND PEOPLE CAN TALK TO EACH OTHER, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO TALK TO THE PERSON NEXT TO THEM, BUT THEY'RE TALKING THROUGH THE SCREEN. IT'S LESS PHYSICAL. IT'S VERY MUCH IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD. AS FAR AS HOURS-WISE, WE EXPECT IT TO OPEN BETWEEN NOON AND BETWEEN NOON AND 3:00 P.M. AT THE END OF THE DAY AND CLOSE BETWEEN 9:00 AND 10:00 P.M. IN THE EVENINGS. THERE ARE A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THERE ARE LARGE TOURNAMENTS, AND THOSE WOULD HAVE LATER HOURS. THERE ARE FULL-TIME XWEEKZ E EMPLOYEES AT THIS LOCATION AND PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 12. >> COUNCILMAN. THANK YOU, MAYOR. MR. FRANZ, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION, AND I WAS WONDERING YOU MENTIONED OTHER LOCATIONS OF BELONG. IS IT GENERALLY YOUR EXPERIENCE IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO GET A SPEFBLG USE PERMIT WHEN YOU OPEN A LOCATION OR I WAS CURIOUS HOW OUR ARCADE ORDINANCE COMPARES TO OTHER CITIES? >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESON. THOS-- IT'S NOT THE TYPICAL ARCADE YOU NORMALLY ENVISION. I THINK THAT IT DOESN'T FIT EXACTLY WITH THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. THE JORLT OF LOCATIONS ARE BY RIGHT. WHETHER THEY ARE BY RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THOSE CITIES ALLOW IT, OR THE PRIOR OPERATOR WAS DAMON BUSTER ASK HAD THE SUP WITH THE LAND. THE MAJORITY HAVE BEEN BY RIGHT BASED ON THE ZONING DISTRICTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. DO WE HA ANY SPEAKERS? WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. >> ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE ITEM. CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 6-0. THANK YOU. >> ITEM NUMBER TWO. EVERY. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AS REQUESTED IN ZONING CASE NUMBER 2021-029 TO REPEAL ORDINANCE 97-5-15 IN ITS ENTIRETY TO RESCIND SPECIFIC USE PERMIT 322 FOR ARCADE ON .1 ACRE OF LAND AND GRANT SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NUMBER 25 FOR CONTINUING CARE FACILITY ON 4 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF CENTRAL PARKWAY AND HAGGARD REETN THE CITY OF PLANO, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS. PRESENTLY ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-HAD 41-CORRIDOR COMMERCIAL WITH SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NUMBER 322 FOR ARCADE AND WITH SUCH ACTIONS AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY, ORDINANCE NUMBER 2015-5-2 AS HEREBYTOFOREAMENDED TO REFLECT SUCH ACTIONS DIRECTING CHANGES ACCORDINGLY IN THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE, A PEELER CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND A PUBLICATION CLSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> ZONING CASE NUMBER 29 IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST ITEM THAT YOU'LL HEAR SUBMITTED UNDER THE NEW 2021 COMPREHENSIVE ACT. THIS CASE IS LOCATED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 75 AND PARK BOULEVARD. IT IS DEFINED AS A HOUSING AND ACCOMMODATIONS AND SERVICES FOR AN ELDERLY PERSON'S NEEDS, INCLUDING INDEPENDENT LIVING, ASSISTED LIVING AND/OR LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THIS REQUEST SPECIFICALLY IS EXCLUDING INDEPENDENT LIVING PORTION OF THOSE FACILITIES, AND THAT WAS NEVER THE INTENT OF THIS SPECIFIC OPERATOR, SO IT WORKS WITHIN -- IT IS FWILT IS ALSO REQUESTING TO BE LIMITED TO 163 BEDS, AND THERE ARE 162 ROOMS ON THE SITE. THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SITE AS IT EXISTS TODAY. IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, AND IT'S CURRENTLY BEING USED AS A HOTEL. THIS IS A GRAPHIC OF THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED AND CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. IT HAS BEEN ENHANCED. IT INCLUDES A BLUE LINE THAT INDICATES THE 260 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE THAT HELPS RESTRICT THE FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AREA THAT'S PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE COLORED AREA THAT IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT SHOWS THE TOWER PORTION OF THE BUILDING AS IT EXISTS TODAY SO IT IS PURPLE PORTION ARE THE INDIVIDUAL BEDROOMS, IF YOU WILL. THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT TOWER OR EXIST AS PART OF THE TOWER TODAY. THAT IS THE LOCATION OF LIVING QUARTERS. THE REMAINDER OF THE BUILDING IS A ONE-STORY BUILDING AS IT WOULD REMAIN, AND, AGAIN, WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL 4E89 AREA ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. REGARDING CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED AS DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THIS IS INTENDED TO CREATE AN ATTRACTIVE GATEWAY AND SUPPORT CONTINUED TRANSFORMATION OF THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PLANO AREA. WHICH IS THE CIVIC AND CULTURAL HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. DUE TO THE PROPERTIES EXISTING USE AS A HOTEL, IT IS DES IING NATURED AS RETAIL IN OUR LAND USE AND HOUSING INVENTORY. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE LAND USE MIX IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? WELL, IT IS CURRENTLY SHOWN AS A LAND USE TYPE. IT WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE RETAIL TYPE IN THE EMPLOYMENT MIX AND MOVED TO INSTITUTIONAL TYPE, SO THAT WOULD BE A CHANGE OF 0.7% FROM RETAIL, AND AN INCREASE OF .7% IN INSTITUTIONAL SHOULD THIS SUP BE APPROVED. THERE IS NO NET CHANGE TO HOUSING TYPES, SO HOW DOES THIS IMPACT OTHER CITY POLICIES? IT IS SUPPORTED BY THE SPECIAL NEEDS HOUSING POLICY WHEN THE HOUSING TRENDS ANALYSIS BY ADDING TO THE RYE TIRMT HOUDZING STOCK IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE EXPRESSWAY CORRIDOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH GROWN E GOAL BY KEEPING HOUSING OUTSIDE OF THAT BLUE BUFFER THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE PLAN. THAT SETBACK THAT'S THE BLUE LINE, THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATION WITH THE AERIAL OF HOW THE POLICY STATEMENT, THE RESTRICTION ON THE SUP WILL KEEP UNITS OUTSIDE OF THAT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH GOAL BOUNDARY. BECAUSE THIS BUILDING IS THREE STORIES IN HEIGHTS, THERE IS 150 FOOT SETBACK. YOU CAN SEE IT MEETS THAT RESTRICTION BY BEING 242 FEET FROM THE BOUNDARY. THE SUP RESTRICTIONS AS PROPOSED ARE WRITTEN ON THE SCREEN YOU SEE THE 250 FOOT SETBACK. THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF BEDS TO RETAIN THE NUMBER OF BEDS THAT EXIST ARE THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT EXIST ON THE SITE TODAY, AND THE RESTRICTION ON INDEPENDENT LIVING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE OPERATOR'S INTENTIONS. ALSO, THE INTENT TO RESCIND THE NO LONGER UTIZED AND NEEDED ARCADE SUP. THIS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. WE HAVE TWO RECOMMENDED -- OR TWO RESPONSES BOTH IN SUPPORT. NO ONE EITHER NEUTRAL OR IN OPPOSITION. IT'S THE PROPERTY OWNER AND ONE OTHER -- ONE OTHER RESPONDENT WITHIN THE CITY. THERE'S THE LOCATIONS ON THE MAP. WITHIN THE AREA, AGAIN, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS ONE OF THE RESPO RESPONDENTS. THERE WAS NO WITHONE IN THE BUF THAT RESPONDED TO THIS REQUEST. THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION. IT WAS A UNANIMOUS 8-0 RESPONSE FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SUBJECT TO THE STIPULATIONS ON THE SCREEN AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE WITH THE PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU. ANY QUEIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL? MAYOR, COUNCIL MAXIMUM SWELL E WELL FISHER WITH MASTER PLAN DALLAS PARKWAY, FRISCO, TEXAS REPRESENTING MMM SENIOR HEALTH. WITH THE MIGRATION OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE, EMPLOYERS, AND PEOPLE, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A HUGE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN OUR POPULATION'S AGING SXSHS WE HAVE A HUGE SHORTAGE FOR SENIOR HOUSING NEEDS, AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO BE A SMALL -- PLAY A SMALL PART IF HAD THAT BY AN ADAPTIVE REUSE OF A COMFORT INN. IT IS AN ADAPTED REUSE, INTERIOR REMODEL, 162 UNITS. WE HAVE 118 ASSISTED LIVING AND 44 MEMORY CARE UNITS. IT WOULD BE MARKET RATE. THE LIVING PORTION WOULD BE IN THE SIX-STORY TOWER ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. BECAUSE THIS IS AN OLDER HOTEL, WITH A LOT OF COMMON AREAS, IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING REALLY WELL WITH OUR CONCEPT AND WE CAN PROVIDE A TON OF AMENITIES FOR OUR RESIDENTS. WE'LL HAVE KITCHEN, JUICE BAR, LIBRARY, THEATER, ART STUDIO, WELLNESS CENTER, HAIR SALON, ACTIVITY SPACE, NURSE STATION. THE OUTDOOR PATIO HAS RAY POOL, AND IT WOULD BE CONVERTED -- WE'LL REMOVE THE POOL BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL BE LIVING HERE AND IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE TO HAVE A POOL, BUT WE'LL CONVERT THAT TO A NICE SPACE THAT CREATES A NICE LEISURE AREA FOR OUR RESIDENTS. HERE ARE SOME INTERIOR PHOTOS OF A LOCATION OF THE CURRENT DEVELOPER AND OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP IN MICHIGAN. THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING INTO THIS MARKET. RESTROOM, PRIVATE BATHROOMS IN ALL THE UNITS. AS MENTIONED BY STAFF, IT'S IN THE DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR, AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THE LAND USE, IT ALIGNS WITH THE PLAN AND ALLOWS THIS TYPE OF USE IN THE DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR. IT WOULD BE AN DAPTIVE REUSE, AND IT WOULD ALIGN WITH THE PLAN IN SUPPORTING SENIOR CITIZEN AND PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND HAVING ENOUGH HOUSING FOR THOSE PEOPLE. AS MENTIONED, THERE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CORRIDOR THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THAT WAS DONE, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT WAS OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA, SO WE'VE DONE THAT BY DEMONSTRATESING IT'S TO THE EAST, AND WE ARE FINE WITH THE RESTRICTION IN THE SUP THAT WOULD LIMIT THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION TO THE EAST SIDE. WE'RE ALSO DOING SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THE OUTSIDE. WE WOULD BE PRESERVING CREPE MYRTLE TRIEES, AND WE WOULD PRESERVE PARKING TO ALLOW 2,500 SQUARE FEET OF LANDSCAPE AREA AND ALLOWING SEVERAL LIVE OAK TREES AND CEDAR ELM, AND THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE AS NETTICS AND HOPEFULLY BE AN IMPETUS FOR FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT OF SOME OF THE STRUGGLING PROPERTIES IN THIS AREA. ELEVATIONS OF THE PROPERTY, OF THE BUILDING. WOULD BE PAINTING THE NON-STONE PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING, FRESHEN IT, GIVE IT A NICE LOOK. OUTREACH TO REACH OUT TO ABOUT 50 HOMEOWNERS TO THE EAST OF US. WE INCLUDED JAMES RUSSELL, THE BARBER. HE SEEMS THE GUY IN THE KNOW AND KNOWS EVERYBODY. HE HELPED US AND APPRECIATES THIS PROPOSAL. WE HELD A FEBRUARY 16th MEETING AT THE ACTUAL HOTEL. WE HAD THREE PEOPLE IN SUPPORT AT THAT MEETING. WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO HAGGARD PROPERTY GROUP AS A COURTESY SINCE THEY HAVE AN OFFICE NEXT DOOR AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT WITH COUNCILMAN HOLMER AT THE SITE. HE WAS ALSO EXCITED ABOUT BRINGING THIS FACILITY FOR AVAILABLE FOR SENIORS. I'LL WRAP UP BY ASKING FOR COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. IT'S A REUSE OF AN UNDERPERFORMING HOTEL. IT'S MEETING A HOUSING NEED AS CALLED FOR IN YOUR COMP PLAN. WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROPERTY, AND WE ASK THE COUNCIL NOT TO BE ONLY THE FIRST APPLICATION TO BE HEARD INTO THE TO BE HEARD AND APPROVED.RST ONE >> APPRECIATE IT.
