[ EXECUTIVE SESSION ] >> Prince: I NOW DECLARE THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL PRELIMINARY OPEN MEETING IS RECONVENED INTO OPEN SESSION AND THAT ALL COUNCILMEMBERS ARE PRESENT, EXCEPT FOR MAYOR JOHN MUNS, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MARIA TU, AND THAT IS IT. ALL RIGHT, OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE PRELIMINARY AGENDA IS CONSIDERATION AND ACTION RESULTING FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE HAVE NONE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE'LL DO PERSONNEL APPOINTMENTS. ANIMAL SHELTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE INTERIM VETERINARIAN. >> MADAM MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER ADVISORY BOARD DR. ANTHONY HALL VETERINARIAN TO FILL THAT SLOT. >> I'LL SECOND THAT. >> Prince: ALL IN FAVOR? THAT PASSES -- THE COUNT NOW 6-0. THANK YOU. THE NEXT ONE IS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER 5, BOARD MEMBERS AND CHAIR. COUNCILMEMBER HORNE, COUNCILMEMBER SMITH? >> Holmer: MADAM MAYOR, WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK TO EXTEND THE PERIOD OF TIME TO ASSEMBLE THIS TEAM TO THE APRIL 8th MEETING, FIRST COUNCIL MEETING IN APRIL. >> SECOND. >> Prince: WE DON'T HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT, DO WE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. NEXT, WE HAVE OUR SHORT-TERM RENTAL STUDY, PHASE II, AND SUNSET OF SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE WITH CHRISTINA DAY, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING, AND BEFORE WE START WITH THAT, I JUST WANTED TO LET, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THIS TOPIC. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE HEARING ABOUT OUR TASK FORCE REPORT. NEXT MONDAY, MARCH 24th, WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE ACTUAL REGISTRATION ORDINANCE. AND THEN APRIL 22ND IS WHEN WE WILL BE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ZONING ORDINANCE. JUST TO CLARIFY FOR -- IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY. THE 25th, I'M SORRY. APRIL 25th. MARCH 25th. OKAY. SO LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN SO EVERYBODY GOT IT. TONIGHT IS THE TASK FORCE REPORT. NEXT MONDAY, MARCH 25th WE'LL TALK ABOUT REGISTRATION. AND THEN APRIL 22ND, AT OUR MEETING, WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE ZONING ORDINANCE. ALL RIGHT. >> DAY: GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM, COUNCIL, AND EXECUTIVES. I'M CHRISTINA DAY, I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE PHASE II REPORT OR THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL STUDY, AND THIS IS THE FINAL REPORT OUT FROM THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE. SO THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SOME TIME. THE TASK FORCE WAS APPOINTED IN MAY, AND SO IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME. WE CAN SEE WE'RE JUST AT THE END OF THIS OUTREACH AND DATA COLLECTION PHASE, AND GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO THIS PERMANENT MEASURES PHASE WHERE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS STARTED WORKING ON THE ZONING COMPONENT OF THE PERMANENT MEASURES BASED ON THE OUTCOME OF THE REPORT THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE FROM THE TASK FORCE. SO BEFORE I CONTINUE FURTHER, I WANT TO INVITE THE CHAIR, PHIL DIRE, TO COME AND SPEAK TO YOU BRIEFLY. >> GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR SERVICE. IT'S GREAT. IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING AND LONG NINE MONTHS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INTERESTING AND MORE DIFFICULT HAD WE NOT HAD EXTRAORDINARY SUPPORT FROM KRIS TEE IN A DAY, CHRISTINA SEBASTIAN, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, EVERYBODY ON THE CITY STAFF HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, IN DEALING WITH THE HUGE VOLUME OF INFORMATION THAT WAS NEEDED TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. AND THEY'VE BEEN REALLY, REALLY WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. ALSO. I WANT TO COMMEND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, MICHELLE D'ANDREA WAS ABSOLUTELY INSTRUMENTAL IN US WORKING THROUGH THINGS TOGETHER. SHE DID A GREAT JOB. HER REAL ESTATE EXPERTISE WAS INVALUABLE. LAYING OUT THE BOUNDARIES WITHIN WHICH WE COULD OPERATE. AND IT WAS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO US. SO THANKS TO MICHELLE. OUR CONSULTANT, GAP STRATEGIES, JEFF BARTON WAS TERRIFIC. I'VE DONE A LOT OF THESE IN MY CAREER, AND HE WAS TOP OF THE CHARTS. HE WAS REALLY EFFECTIVE AND REALLY STRONG. AND THEN LAST OF COURSE, NOT LEAST, ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE TASK FORCE ITSELF. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, AND IT'S A VERY EMOTIONAL ISSUE, AND THERE ARE CLEARLY TWO SIDES TO THE ISSUE, AND BOTH SIDES MADE GOOD POINTS THROUGHOUT THE MOOD IN THE ROOM WAS RESPECTFUL AND COURTEOUS EVEN IF THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY TOTAL DISAGREEMENT WITH WHAT WAS BEING SAID, IT WAS DONE COURTEOUSLY DURING THE PROCESS. WE HAD A GOOD MOOD IN THE ROOM TO OPERATE WITH. BOTH SIDES MADE GOOD POINTS, AND I WISH WE COULD BRING YOU A SIMPLE LIST OF EIGHT OR NINE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY AGREED ON AND WERE DONE, THAT WAS NOT A REALISTIC EXPECTATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT THE 32 ITEMS THAT YOU I THINK WE'LL SEE, THERE WAS A LOT OF GIVE AND TAKE AND CONSENSUS ON THOSE. AND CERTAINLY NOT THOSE ITEMS -- NOT -- THOSE ITEMS ARE NOT ALL UNANIMOUSLY AGREED UPON BY EVERYBODY, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF GIVE AND TAKE IN THE ROOM, AND WE MOVED TOGETHER IN WAYS THAT AT THE BEGINNING I DIDN'T THINK WERE POSSIBLE. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THERE ARE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES ON THIS ISSUE WITHIN THE TASK FORCE. WE COULD SPEND ANOTHER SIX MONTHS, NINE MONTHS, DISCUSSING IT, AND I DON'T THINK WE'D MAKE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS FROM WHERE WE ARE. I THINK WHERE WE ARE IS ABOUT WHERE -- AS GOOD AS WE COULD GET IF WE STAYED ON THIS TOPIC FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO WORK ON IT. IT WAS A GOOD GROUP. I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB IN SELECTING THE MEMBERS, REPRESENTING ALL PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THIS ISSUE. SO I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON THE TASK FORCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME RIGHT NOW, IF NOT, I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO CHRISTINA. OBVIOUSLY, P&Z WORKED ON THIS LAST NIGHT, AND IT WAS A LENGTHY SESSION. THERE WERE NEARLY 30 SPEAKERS, AND SO I DON'T WANT TO STAY UP HERE LONGER THAN I SHOULD SO... IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HERE. OTHERWISE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT, AND THE STAFF SUPPORT. THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] >> DAY: A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW. I'LL CONTINUE WITH THE DATA COLLECTION AND OUTREACH. SO PHASE I, YOU MAY REMEMBER THERE WERE THREE PRIMARY FINDINGS. FIRST OF ALL, THAT SHORT-TERM RENTALS DO AFFECT THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PLANO. THERE COULD BE APPROPRIATE PLACES FOR PLANO, UNDER CERTAIN -- FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN PLANO UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THAT THE CITY COULD -- SHOULD DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE PERMANENT REGULATIONS TO GOVERN SHORT-TERM RENTALS, AND SO THAT'S OUR TASK NOW. SO WE ARE WORKING ON THOSE PERMANENT MEASURES. WE CONTINUE DATA COLLECTION THROUGH PHASE II. THE TASK FORCE HAD THREE MEETINGS THROUGH THIS PHASE. HAD THE FIRST TWO, THEN THEY HAD AN OPEN HOUSE FOR THE PUBLIC. THEY CONTINUED ADVERTISING THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AND THAT WAS PLANO STR.COM , WE ALSO WORKED WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM ON A NUMBER OF OTHER AVENUES FOR OUTREACH. THROUGH THAT OPEN HOUSE, WE ASKED AT THE END IS THE TASK FORCE GENERALLY HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAD GENERAL AGREEMENT, 65.8% EITHER AGREED OR SOMEWHAT AGREED WITH THE FINDINGS OF THE TASK FORCE. THAT DISAGREEMENT WAS SPLIT, WE FOUND, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DATA BETWEEN PEOPLE THAT THOUGHT WE WERE EITHER OVERREGULATING OR UNDERREGULATING. SO THERE'S EVEN A SPLIT AS TO WHY PEOPLE WERE DISAGREEING WITH THE CONCLUSIONS. SO THE TASK FORCE TOOK THAT INFORMATION FROM THE OPEN HOUSE, WENT THROUGH IT AGAIN, AND ULTIMATELY VOTED 17-1 TO BRING THIS FORWARD TO YOU. AND THAT VOTE TOOK PLACE ON FEBRUARY 28th. THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN SPLIT INTO FOUR CATEGORIES TO MAKE THEM A LITTLE MORE DIGESTIBLE. REGISTRATION REGULATIONS THAT IMPACT LAND USE AND ZONING CONSIDERATION RELATING TO AMORTIZATION AND BUYOUTS, AND THEN TOPICS RELATED TO TRAINING. SO WE'LL GO OVER THOSE. THIS IS REALLY TOO MUCH TOO LOOK AT, BUT THESE ARE ALL THE TOPICS THAT ARE RELATED TO REGISTRATION. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S FOURTEEN OF THOSE. YOU CAN SEE WE'VE NUMBERED THOSE SO IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THINGS MOVE FORWARD TO YOU, WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THOSE NUMBERS TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY RELATE BACK TO THE TASK FORCE. WE'VE DONE THIS WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE, USED THE ZONING NUMBERS, WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU NEXT. WE'VE USED THE SYSTEM SO WE CAN LINK THE TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION BACK TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE SO P&Z CAN SEE THIS IS WHERE THE TASK FORCE'S RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED. SO NINE RECOMMENDATIONS THERE. THREE RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO AMORTIZATION AND BUYOUTS. AND THEN 7 RELATED TO BASICALLY TOPICS FOR TRAINING OF NEW AND RENEWING SHORT-TERM RENTAL OWNERS. SO BASED ON THAT, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE TASK FORCE BE SUNSETTED. THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY REQUIRE A RESOLUTION BECAUSE THE TASK FORCE WAS NOT ADOPTED BY A RESOLUTION, SO WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A ACTION (INDISCERNIBLE) FROM THE COUNCIL TONIGHT IN PRELIMINARY OPEN. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS CALLED A PUBLIC HEARING TO DEVELOP PERMANENT REGULATIONS THROUGH ZONING CASE, AND WE -- AS YOU HEARD EARLIER, ARE INTRODUCING A REGISTRATION PROGRAM AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON MARCH 25th. THE WEBSITE CONTINUES. WE HAVE MOVED OVER THE PLANO STR WEBSITE. WE ALSO HAVE PLANO.GOV/STR AS A SHORTENED WEBSITE ON THE CITY'S PAGE, SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT WEB ADDRESSES THAT ARE OPERATING NOW, SO PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INFORMATION. CONTINUING ON THIS. WE HAVE A ZONING CASE RESPONSE MAP UP, SO PEOPLE CAN FIND INFORMATION ON ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. WE ALSO HAVE AN ONLINE SURVEY FORM FOR THE REGISTRATION PROGRAM AND A PROJECT E-MAIL ADDRESS SO WE'RE TRYING TO CONTINUE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS PROJECT. WE ALSO ARE DOING A MAIL NOTIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. FOR BOTH THE APRIL 1ST DATE AND THE. [ NO AUDIO ] SO THESE ARE THE WEB ADDRESSES. AGAIN. AND AGAIN THE RECOMMENDATION IS JUST THAT THE WORK BE ACCEPTED BY THE COUNCIL, AND WITH THAT, THE TASK FORCE BE SUNSET, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> Prince: OKAY WITH THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, WE HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS, IF WE WOULD LISTEN TO THE SPEAKERS AND THEN WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS IF WE HAVE THEM. THANK YOU, CHRISTINA. SO WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW EACH OF THE SPEAKERS TO SPEAK FOR TWO MINUTES, SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO TWO MINUTES SINCE WE HAVE SO MANY SPEAKERS AND JUST A REMINDER, AS I MENTIONED, THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK AGAIN AT THE MARCH 25th MEETING AND THE APRIL 22ND MEETING. THANK YOU. >> THE FIRST SPEAKER IS PHIL FRANCE WHO WILL BE FOLLOWED BY KATHRYN PARKER. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF PLANO CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR PRO TEM, AND DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE STAFF. I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY WITH DEEP GRATITUDE FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. YOUR INVESTMENT OF TIME AND ENERGY IN CREATING A SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE REFLECTS YOUR DEDICATION TO ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS OF OUR RESIDENTS. I COMMEND YOU FOR THE FAIRNESS OF THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL SURVEY WHICH DEMONSTRATES YOUR EARNEST EFFORTS TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITIES OF THIS ISSUE FROM ALL SIDES. AS A RESIDENT OF PLANO, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TO ALL OF OUR VOICES. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR CITY. AND ENSURING THEIR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING IS PARAMOUNT. I URGE YOU TO HEED THE CONCERNS RAISED BY OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND TAKE DECISIVE ACTION TO ENFORCE LAWS THAT WILL SAFEGUARD OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. BY IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS THAT ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES POSED BY SHORT-TERM RENTALS, WE CAN PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL RESIDENTS. I IMPLORE YOU TO PRIORITIZE THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS THAT PROMOTE SAFETY, SECURITY, ANAND HARMONY IN OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER LET US WORK TOWARD A FUTURE WHERE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS REMAIN VIBRANT, THRIVING AND WELCOMING TO ALL WHO CALL PLANO HOME. >> 20 SECONDS. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS IMPORTANT MATTER AND FOR YOUR CONTINUED DEDICATION TO SERVING THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR CITY. >> KATHRYN PARKER? >> OKAY. ELENA BOURQUE, BURKE? OKAY. AND WE WILL GO TO STEPHEN CARIACOS. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS STEPHEN, AND I LIVE AT 2627 BARRINGTON DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PATIENCE IN WORKING WITH ALL THE CITIZENS OF PLANO AND THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE AND BRINGING THIS ISSUE TO A RESOLUTION. I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE ON THE SHORT-TERM RENTALS, I READ THE DRAFT AND ATTENDED LAST NIGHT'S PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MOST OF THE DISCUSSION WAS CENTERED AROUND DEFINITIONS, DURATIONS OF STAYS AND DENSITY. I WAS HOPING A LITTLE MORE FOR DISCUSSION AROUND LAND USE AND ZONING RESTRICTIONS, WHICH WE'RE NOT QUITE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE DISCUSSION OR THE DOCUMENT AS I READ IT SHORT OF SOME SUP REQUIREMENTS FOR SELECT DEFINITIONS OF STRs, IT IS A DRAFT SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE WORKED OUT. MY BIGGEST CONCERN AND MOST THAT WAS MENTIONED LAST NIGHT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ONE BEDROOM BED AND BREAKFAST THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY ALLOW EVERY HOUSE IN PLANO TO BECOME AN STR BY RIGHT. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR AS FAR AS FOLLOWING THE ARLINGTON MODEL. AGAIN, WE REALIZE THIS IS A DRAFT WE ATTENDED LAST NIGHT. WE MADE OUR COMMENTS, SO WE'RE VERY HOPEFUL THERE WILL BE PENDING UPDATES TO THE DOCUMENT IN THE FUTURE. WHILE THOSE UPDATES ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS, OUR CONCERN IS THAT OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, YOU, THE TASK FORCE, THE P&Z, AND ALL THE CITIZENS OF PLANO ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE, THIS WILL ALL COME DOWN TO A FEW FINAL MEETINGS, SO WE ASK ABOUT DILIGENCE AND PATIENCE AND WE HOPE THAT WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR THE BEST OUTCOME. THANK YOU. >> NEXT SPEAKER IS BILL BAKER. >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS BILL BAKER. AND 40 YEARS AGO MY FAMILY AND I MOVED TO PLANO, KNOWING VERY LITTLE ABOUT NORTH TEXAS. A REALTOR TOLD US PLANO WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE CHILDREN. 20 YEARS LATER, MOVED OUT OF STATE, ODDLY ENOUGH, 20 YEARS AFTER THAT, WE MOVED BACK TO PLANO. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TELL YOU WHY. PLANO NEIGHBORHOODS ARE TERRIFIC. THE ONE I LIVE THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. IT'S GOT A WOMEN'S CLUB. IT'S VERY ACTIVE WITH OVER 100 MEMBERS THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR 31 YEARS. IT'S OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT HAS AN ACTIVE HOA THAT SPONSORS AN EASTER IN THE PARK EVENT, BARBECUE COOKOFF, AND THREE MORE EVENTS, EVERY YEAR. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS QUIET, IT'S SAFE. AND IT IS FULL OF NEIGHBORS WHO ENJOY CONNECTING. AND STILL IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE CHILDREN. I WANT IT TO REMAIN THAT WAY. FORTUNATELY, THE DRAFT OF THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL DOCUMENT THAT WAS REVIEWED LAST NIGHT DOES NOT SUPPORT THAT CONCEPT. VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME. THE -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> I'M NOT SURE WERE DISCUSSED WITH THE TASK FORCE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO REFLECT THE FACT THAT 74% OF 6,000 PEOPLE THAT DID THE SURVEY WERE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO CONNECT WITH OUR SITUATION. I URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE IMPACT ON YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I URGE YOU TO LISTEN TO YOUR NEIGHBORS. THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MATT BINGHAM. >> HELLO, CITY COUNCIL, MY FAMILY MOVED HERE ALMOST 50 YEARS AGO. I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE. I HAVE LIVED IN MY CURRENT HOME FOR TEN YEARS NOW. IN THE EARLY 90s, MY FAMILY WAS NOMINATED FOR PLANO FAMILY OF THE YEAR, WE'RE OUTSTANDING CITIZENS, WE'RE QUIET, RESPECTFUL PEOPLE. I HAVE A SHORT-TERM RENTAL IN MY HOUSE. I HAVE TWO ROOMS I RENT OUT. THERE'S A NEIGHBOR DOWN MY STREET, ALSO HAS TWO ROOMS IN HER HOUSE. NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW THAT WE RENT OUR HOMES OUT, SHORT-TERM RENTAL. I NEVER KNEW MY NEIGHBOR HAD ONE UNTIL SHE APPROACHED ME ABOUT THIS STUFF THAT'S GOING ON NOW. SHE ONLY KNEW I HAD ONE BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER WAS AT MY HOUSE BECAUSE HER FRIEND'S MOM WAS RENTING FROM ME. THERE'S PROBABLY OTHER HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY ARE. WE DON'T CAUSE NUISANCES. WE AREN'T CAUSING PROBLEMS. WE'RE CALM, RESPECTFUL PEOPLE. OUR GUESTS ARE RESPECTFUL OF THE NEIGHBORS. MANY ARE COMING HERE TO FIND PLACES TO LIVE, THEY NEED A SHORT-TERM PLACE TO LIVE WHILE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A HOME TO LIVE IN PLANO, THEY'RE WORKING OR WHATNOT, THEY'RE NOT TRANSIENTS, THEY'RE NOT DELINQUENTS, THEY'RE NOT THROWING PARTIES IN MY HOUSE WHILE I'M THERE. THEY'RE NOT CAUSING NUISANCES, BRINGING ALL SORTS OF CARS IN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I -- I ALSO THINK THIS SURVEY WAS VERY BIASED. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT PLANO AS A WHOLE, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE MAJORITY OF PLANO DOES NOT WANT OR IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SHORT-TERM RENTALS WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST NEXT DOOR. IT SEEMS TO ME WHOEVER FORMED THIS SURVEY WENT OUT LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT TO BE IN OPPOSITION. PLEASE CONSIDER THESE THINGS AND OUR FREEDOMS AS PROPERTY OWNERS. THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ANTONIO MIGUEL MOLINA BENDEC. THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO (INDISCERNIBLE). >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS (INDISCERNIBLE) I'M THE PROFESSIONAL SHORT-TERM RENTAL MANAGER. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS JOB IN THE PAST 7 YEARS. I MANAGE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES IN A DIFFERENT STATE, HAWAII CALIFORNIA ARIZONA CANADA ONTARIO. SO I THINK TODAY MY OPINION IS WE ARE NOT ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT GOING TO DO THE STR OR NOT DOING STR. THE FACT IS THERE ARE SO MANY CITIES, SO MANY STATE HAVE FULLY REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTAL IN THE UNITED STATES. EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD. FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE OUR STATE, TEXAS, THEY REGULATE IT. HOME OWNER PAYS $100, BUILDING INSPECTIONS, FOLLOW THE HOUSING RULES, BE RESPONSIBLE, WE CAN DEVELOP TOOLS TO MAKE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE, QUIET, PEACEFUL, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT HOW THE NEXT GENERATION THEY CHOOSE TO TRAVEL, IF YOU LOOK AT TRAVELING INDUSTRY NOW, VRBO, HAS BEEN FAST GROWING, WE CANNOT STOP THAT, BUT WE ARE JUST NEED TO BE FULL RESPONSIBLE DEVELOP THE NICE REGULATION TO HELP THE WHOLE COMMUNITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, I'M HOLDING THE SORT-TERM REPTAL CERTIFICATE FROM OUR NEIGHBOR CITY, CITY OF ROLAND, CITY OF FRISCO HAS A LICENSE, I LIKE A LOT OF THE IDEA, RECOMMENDATION GIVING HERE, MAKE SURE EVERY PROPERTY HAS THE 24-7 CONTACT PERSON, YOU KNOW, WE DO BUILDING INSPECTIONS, WE GIVE THOSE NUMBER OF THE CASE OF LIMITATION TO THE CASE WHO WANT TO STAY AND THAT HELPS COMMUNITIES. ONE MORE THING, I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 7 YEARS. I SEE SO MANY HAPPY FAMILIES COME TO THE PLANO, COME TO THE FRISCO, THEY MEET THE FAMILY, SO MANY COMPANIES, THEY'RE RELOCATING HERE, SO MANY FAMILIES, EVEN LOCAL FAMILIES, BETWEEN THE HOUSES, WHEN THEY SELL THE HOUSES, WHEN THEY'RE BUYING THE NEW ONE -- >> CAN YOU PLEASE WRAP UP YOUR COMMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS COLLEEN AGUILAR EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. WE WILL MOVE ON TO JENNA MORE. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS JENNA MORE, I LIVE AT 4825 BULL RUN DRIVE. I'VE LIVED IN PLANO FOR MOST OF MY LIFE. AND AT MY CURRENT HOME FOR 20 YEARS. I'VE BEEN IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, I'VE BEEN ON SITE SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOST AND AN A AIRBNB SUPER HOST. IT'S TRULY BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I'VE MET SOME WONDERFUL PEOPLES. FAMILIES FROM AUSTRALIA, INDIA, AND ALL OVER THE US, WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS FROM WHAT THE TASK FORCE IS PRESENTING. FIRST OFF, WE SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOSTS, WOULD NEVER BE BED AND BREAKFASTS. THAT WOULD BE A SMALL GUEST HOUSE OR SMALL HOTEL OFFERING SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS AND A MORNING MEAL. CURRENTLY, I DO NOT AND I DON'T EVER PLAN TO SERVE MEALS, I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME ON MY PLATE. ANOTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS REQUESTING A TWO NIGHT MINIMUM STAY. HOW OR WHY WOULD THAT EVEN BE BENEFICIAL? IT MAKES NO SENSE. NOT TO MENTION THE AVAILABILITY OF MY PROPERTY HAS ALSO HELPED LOCAL FAMILIES DUE TO FLOOD OR LOSS OF POWER. ONE OF THOSE BEING A PLANO IS D.SCHOOL TEACHER. ALSO BELIEVE THAT MAKING THE SEASONAL -- IT MAKES NO SENSE. ANYWAY, PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR NEIGHBORS ARE NOT UPSET. LITERALLY, I WAS OUT FRONT OF MY HOUSE SPRUCING UP MY FLOWER POT, MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR CAME OVER, I EXPLAINED TO HER WHAT WAS GOING ON, SHE WAS LIKE, JENNA, I DON'T SEE THE ISSUE WITH THIS. I CAN SEE IF YOU HAD STREAMS OF CARS OUT FRONT. >> 20 SECONDS. >> SORRY. BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN THE CASE HERE. SO ANYWAY, I'M IN STRONG FAVOR OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. >> DANIELA LETTERER. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. ENGLISH IS MY SECOND LANGUAGE. IF I HAVE A LITTLE MISTAKE, PLEASE (INDISCERNIBLE) THAT PART OKAY? MY NAME IS DANIELA LETTER, FIRST, FOREMOST, I WANT TO ADDRESS THE STEREOTYPE THAT ALL SHORT-TERM RENTAL OWNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUES IN OUR CITY, OUR CITY THAT IS A FAVORITE CITY. THAT IS NOT THE REALITY. REALLY IS NOT TO US THAT CREATE THAT PROBLEM. HERE IN PLANO, WE ARE RESIDENTS TOGETHER WORKING TO COEXIST HARMONIOUSLY AND RESPONSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND REGULATION FOR SHORT-TERM RENTAL ARRIVED LATE IN THIS CITY. (INDISCERNIBLE) I DON'T UNDERSTAND TOO. THE NEIGHBORING CITIES LIKE FRISCO IN 2021, ALLEN AND RICHARDSON IN 2022, HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED CLEAR, FAIR ORDINANCE BEFORE FACING ISSUES. IN CONTRAST, THE ORDINANCE BEING PROPOSED HERE ARE STRICT IMPOSED STANDARDS THAT DO NOT ALIGN WITH THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS SITUATION CREATE DISPARITY IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF RULES AND LEAD TO UNFAIR TREATMENT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDERATE THAT RATHER -- SORRY, I UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T READ GOOD. I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES SORRY. RATHER THAN RESTRICTING TO YOURSELF TO TWO DAYS TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH WELL THOUGHT OUT AND FAIR REGULATIONS THAT TRULY REFLECT THE EXCELLENCE OF THE CITY OF PLANO. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NOISE IS THE ISSUE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT ALL OWNERS INTEND WHERE SHORT-TERM RENTAL OR LONG INTERPRETER RENTAL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE DISTURBANCE. NOISE ISSUES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED EFFECTIVELY AFFECTING FOR THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE IN PLANO, THAT WOULD BE THE MORE APPROPRIATE SOLUTION RATHER THAN UNFAIRLY TARGETING THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL OWNER. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM, PLANO CITY OF EXCELLENCE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS DANIEL PUETAS. >> GOOD EVENING. CITY COUNCIL OF PLANO. I AM HERE WITH MY WIFE. WE OWN MULTIPLE STRs, AND WE ALWAYS MAKE IT A PURPOSE TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO THE NEIGHBORS. WE HAVE HAD PRETTY MUCH NO COMPLAINT FROM THE NEIGHBORS. AND I DO BELIEVE AS SAID BEFORE, WE AS A FAMILY ARE CONCERNED OF THE PROBABLY UNFAIR OR BIASED RULES THAT COULD BE PUT IN PLACE THAT WOULD PUT OUR INCOME IN JEOPARDY. AND JUST THE THING TO KNOW, I BELIEVE EVERYBODY THAT HASN'T SHOWED UP HERE, WHICH IS A LOT OF PEOPLE, ARE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. IT'S JUST VERY FEW THAT DO HAVE PROBLEM. I HAVE ACTUALLY SENT AN E-MAIL TO EACH ONE OF YOU WITH A PROPOSAL, WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU TO ELIMINATE THE -- ANY ISSUES THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, AS A COMMUNITY CAUSED. AND WE JUST ARE WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME REGULATIONS THAT CAN BE PUT IN PLACE THAT WOULD BE UNFAIR AND BIASED. THTHANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JUSTIN ELLIOTT, SUPPOSED TO BE ON ZOOM, BUT ARE THEY HERE IN PERSON? JUSTIN ELLIOTT? WE'LL MOVE ON TO EDDIE LETTERER. >> HELLO, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS EDDIE LETTER, I LIVE AT 1608 (INDISCERNIBLE) TRAIL. I'VE OWNED MY HOME THE LAST 34 YEAR, I'M AN STR OPERATOR FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS, I'M ALL FOR REGISTRATIONS, PROCESSES THAT ARE FAIR, BALANCED AND EQUITABLE, I HAVE A QUESTION, THIS IS IN READING ALL THE REGULATIONS THAT CAME THROUGH, AND LOOKING AT -- I LOOKED AT THE REGISTRATION PROCESS VERSUS THE HOME GRANDFATHERING STR STATUS, AND MY QUESTION WAS, FOR EXAMPLE, IN MY CASE, IF MY HOME WAS PLACED IN A TRUST FOR INHERITANCE PURPOSES, WILL RETITLING OF MY PROPERTY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MY STR STATUS AS LONG AS MY TRUST AND HEIRS, PROPERLY REREGISTER? ADDITIONALLY, IF I SELL MY HOME, DOES THE GRANDFATHERED STR STATUS PASS TO THE NEW HOME OWNER SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS? SO I'M UNCLEAR ABOUT THAT WHEN I LOOK AT ALL THE DOCUMENTATION. FURTHERMORE, I BELIEVE THE TASK FORCE WAS A BIT LACKED THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE STR COMMUNITY, THE PRO STR COMMUNITY, IT WASN'T APPROPRIATELY REPRESENTED. I THINK AS MY WIFE HAD SAID, FRISCO ALLEN RICHARDSON WE LOOK AT THEM, THEY'VE HAD SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION PROCESSES, THEY'VE HAD LITTLE ISSUES, THEY'VE GOT FAIR AND BALANCED REGULATIONS, I THINK THEY NATURALLY WEED OUT THE BAD ACTORS. THE MAJORITY OF US, WE'RE GOOD OPERATORS, WE HAVE GOOD TENANTS THAT COME IN, WE SCREEN OUR TENANTS. I HAD SOMEBODY WHO SAID I WANT TO HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR ONE-YEAR-OLD, CAN I RENT YOUR PLACE? NO, WE DON'T ALLOW PARTIES, THAT IS SELF-REGULATING OURSELVES. I THINK WE'RE SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE WITH THIS CHANGING LANDSCAPE IN OUR SOCIETY, WE DON'T WANT YOU TO COME TO PLANO, DON'T COME HERE LOOKING FOR HOMES, DON'T COME HERE FOR MEDICAL REASONS, DON'T EXPLORE US. IF YOU WANT TO SEE LOVED ONES THAT LIVE IN PLANO, IF YOU WANT TO GO HOUSE HUNTING, IF YOU WANT TO RELOCATE, GO TO RICHARDSON, GO TO ANOTHER CITY, WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. I THINK IT'S A MISTAKE, AND I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING ME OUT ON THIS. THANK YOU. >> JOHNBURG? >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND STAFF, AND FELLOW NEIGHBORS. MY NAME IS JOHN BURKE, I LIVE AT 6232 WESTCHESTER LANE IN PLANO, I'M A FOUNDER OF DADS IN THE HOOD, AN INITIATIVE WE STARTED 30 YEARS AGO, ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT EVENT IS WHEN THE MAYOR COMES OUT AND READING THE MAYORAL PROCLAMATION WHERE HE REINSTATES THE PURPOSE FOR FAMILIES CREATING A VIBRANT AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOODS. I HAVE THREE CONCERNS THAT I WANTED YOU TO THINK ABOUT, I WAS HERE AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING LAST NIGHT, JUST THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER AS YOU REVIEW THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE THAT THE STAFF CONSCIENTIOUSLY PUT TOGETHER, ONE I WOULD ENTITLE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE, NOT TO BELABOR THIS, OVER 70% OF THOSE SURVEYED OF THE 6,000 SURVEYED IN PLANO, WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING A SHORT-TERM RENTAL ON OUR STREET. I BELIEVE THAT THE CLEAR PATH FOR PLANO, THIS IS WHAT MY REQUEST IS, IS TO SIMPLY CLARIFY EXISTING ORDINANCES TO PROHIBIT SHORT-TERM RESIDENCES FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. MY CONCERN IS FOCUSED ON THE MY CONCERN IS THE GATEWAY THAT TO SINGLE NEIGHBORHOODS TO REALLY GATHER OUR FABRIC WITH A MYRIAD OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, SOME OF WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH. SOME OF WHICH ARE NOT DUE TO OUR FINE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS THAT OWN AND RESPONSIBLY OPERATE SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND GET THE GAMBLE IS EVER PRESENT AND ON ALL OF US WHO WISH TO PRESERVE THE FABRIC OF OUR SINGLE NEIGHBORHOODS. THE SECOND THING I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT NO BAD ANXIETY. DURING LAST NIGHT'S PLANNING AND ZONING, I NOTED THE CHAIRMAN SHOWED TWO SIDES OF THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL CONCERNED CITIZENS AND WE TEND TO SPEAK IN EITHER/OR LANGUAGE BECAUSE WE FEEL POWERFUL TO REALLY FULLY AGGRESSIVELY SHAPE THE OUTCOME OF THESE HEARINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. I DO NOT SEE ANYONE IN THIS ROOM AS A BAD ACTOR AND EVEN THE MOST RESPONSIBLE SHORT-TERM RENTAL OWNER IS ONE INCIDENT AWAY FROM A LABEL BY VIRTUE OF AN UNANTICIPATED UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. IN RESTRICTING CITIZENS RIGHTS, I WOULD ASK THAT THE NATURE OF ORDINANCES IS THAT IT'S GOVERNING ANY MUNICIPALITY IS ABOUT PLACING BOUNDARIES WITH CONSEQUENCES ON THE RIGHTS PROTECT ALL OF US.NG TO- I WOULD URGE THE COUNCIL TO THE EXTENT LEGALLY PLAUSIBLE TO NOT VIEW THIS ORDINANCE AS A PLEA FOR FREEDOM, BUT INSTEAD AS A VEHICLE FOR PRESERVING THE VISION OF A FAMILY FIRST COMMUNITY OF EXCELLENCE. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR WORK. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JENNIFER ASHER. >> MY NAME IS JENNIFER ASHER. FIRST OF ALL, BANNING SHORT-TERM RENTALS DOES NOT KEEP PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANSIENT OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE ARE STILL HOTELS AND THEY'RE JUST A SHORT DRIVE AWAY. WHAT IT DOES DO IS IT OPENS UP A NEW WAY TO TRAVEL THAT IS PART OF THE NEW WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN. WE'VE OPENED OUR HOMES AND WE'VE PIVOTED IN THIS NEW WORLD THAT OUR HOMES ARE NOW A DIFFERENT KIND OF PLACE. PEOPLE RUN BUSINESSES OUT OF THEIR HOMES IN A WAY THAT THEY DIDN'T USED TO. AND THERAPISTS NOW HAVE PATIENTS COME TO THEIR HOMES AND WILL RUN A HOME OFFICE OR DIFFERENT KINDS OF BUSINESSES OUT OF THEIR HOMES. AND SOME PEOPLE BUY A HOME AS AN INVESTMENT AND RUN A SHORT-TERM RENTAL. THIS HAS CREATED A WONDERFUL NEW WAY TO TRAVEL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. FOR US WE ADOPTED A CHILD, AND 22 YEARS AGO WE HAD TO GO AND STAY IN ANOTHER STATE FOR THREE WEEKS WITH THIS NEWBORN THAT WAS VERY FRAGILE IN A HOTEL ROOM AND IT WAS HORRIBLE. IT WAS NOT A GREAT EXPERIENCE. WE JUST LAST MONTH HAD A FAMILY WHO HAD A SURROGATE AND THEY HAD A PREMATURE BABY BORN AND THEY RENTED OUR HOUSE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE -- THIS WOMAN WAS ABLE TO HAVE HER SISTERS AND HER MOTHER AND HER BEST FRIEND ALL COME AND THEY HAD THEIR OWN ROOM AND THE BABY HAD ITS OWN ROOM AND THEY WERE ABLE TO CARE FOR THIS PREMATURE BABY WITH HEALTH RISKS IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT. AND HAVE ALL THOSE BENEFITS WITH THIS NEWBORN THAT WASN'T ALLOWED TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. >> 20 SECONDS. >> FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO TRAVEL. THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF A DIFFERENT WAY TO TRAVEL THAT A SHORT-TERM RENTAL OFFERS FOR OUR COMMUNITY NOW. AND IT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE. BUT THERE'S SO MANY THAT WE DON'T WANT PLANO TO BE EXCLUDED, PARTICULARLY WITH SO MANY HOSPITALS IN PLANO. THANK YOU. >> ANN HILL. ANN HILL. CLARA DAMBKA. CLARA? >> GOOD EVENING. SORRY, GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS CLARA AND I HAVE BEEN A PLANO RESIDENT FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS. THE SAFETY REPORT WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVE-IN MANAGEMENT AND AN OFF SITE MANAGEMENT, AND IT'S TRUE, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, BUT THERE IS ALSO A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVES FAR AWAY AND MANAGE IT ALL REMOTELY AND HOMEOWNERS WHO LIVES CLOSE BY OR USE A MANAGEMENT COMPANY LIKE MYSELF TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY, THE PROPERTY IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS. AND OF COURSE, THEY CAN BE AT THE PROPERTY WITHIN 20 TO 30 MINUTES IF NEEDED, WHICH IS A REASONABLE TIME. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT BOTH SIDES KEEP REPEATING IS WHAT ARE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE PRO AND AGAINST STR REALLY REPRESENT THE PLANO RESIDENTS? I DON'T EVEN REFER TO THE FOUR VERSUS 16 IN THE TASK FORCE, BUT THE TASK FORCE WHO DID A TREMENDOUS WORK AND SPENT LONG EVENINGS TRYING TO GET A RESOLUTION, WAS NOT A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF PLANO RESIDENTS DEMOGRAPHICWISE. SOMEHOW PEOPLE IN THE TASK FORCE WERE AFFECTED DIRECTLY BY A SPECIFIC STR WHICH MEANS THOSE FEW BAD APPLES ARE RUINING IT ALL FOR OF US. A HOUSE WITH SHOTS, ONE WITH A WEDDING VENUE, WHY AREN'T WE SHUTTING THOSE DOWN? THEY DON'T NEED TO JUSTIFY THEIR HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE BY GOING TO MONTHLY MEETINGS. WE ALL JUST WANT TO LEAVE IN PEACE AND THAT PEACE IS ACHIEVABLE WHEN YOU ELIMINATE THOSE FEW THAT ARE CAUSING A MESS. LASTLY, LAST NIGHT ONE OF THE MEMBERS SAID HE FEELS IT'S OKAY TO BAN STRs BECAUSE THEY CAN STILL OPERATE AS LONG-TERM AND MAKE MONEY. TOMORROW I HAVE AN EVICTION HEARING, MY FIRST PLANO HOME WHICH I HAVE RAISED MY KIDS IN, IS A LONG-TERM RENTAL. FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS I HAD TO PAY THE MORTGAGE OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BECAUSE MY TENANT IS NOT PAYING OR MOVING OUT. ONCE I GET THEM EVICTED I HAVE TO FIX ALL THE DAMAGES SHE CAUSED. [BUZZER]. THE PROPERTY WAS NOT WELL MAINTAINED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND IS AN EYESORE. I ONLY WISH I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO TURN INTO INTO AN AIRBNB WHEN I COULD FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE. THANK YOU. >> CORRIE REINKER. I'LL RUN THROUGH THE INDIVIDUALS THAT DIDN'T ANSWER THE FIRST TIME IN WE'VE GOT KATHERINE PARKER. ELENA BURKE. ANTONIO MIGUEL BENDEK. >> GOOD EVENING MEMBERS, MY NAME IS ANTONIO. THE ADDRESS IS 1207DREXEL DRIVE PLANO TEXAS. I'M GOING TO KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE BECAUSE I'VE SAID A LOT IN THE PAST COUPLE OF PLANNING AND ZONING MEETINGS. I'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW MY AIRBNB IS A STANDARD THAT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY OTHER RESIDENTS REGARDING CAMERAS, SECURITY MAINTENANCE AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WE STAFF TO MAINTAIN IT. THEN I TALKED ABOUT LAST NIGHT ABOUT RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE, PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY GOING TO BE TAKEN IF CERTAIN BANS GO INTO PLACE, IF WE GET GRANDFATHERED, YES, WE WILL STILL HAVE IT, BUT IT WILL PREVENT OTHERS FROM DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING. SO WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TODAY IS THAT THE TASK FORCE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB AND I THINK THEY FOUND A GOOD MIDDLE SPOT, BUT IT'S NOT 100% IDEAL, RIGHT? WHAT I WOULD THINK IS BEST IS ESSENTIALLY -- BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO SAY A LOT OF STUFF, RIGHT, AND WE HAVE TWO BEDROOMS, BED AND BREAKFAST AND ALL THAT. BUT TO ME IT'S LIKE DON'T BAN IT, LET IT RUN. HAVE BUILDING INSPECTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT REGI REGISTER, AND BASICALLY LET THEM APPROVE IT OR NOT APPROVE IT AND ALL THAT AND LET THE FREE MARKET KIND OF RUN ITSELF BECAUSE PLANO IS NOT A VACATION LOCATION. I'M SURE SOME OF THE PREVIOUS PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT AND CAN RELATE. BUT PLANO IS NOT A VACATION DESTINATION, PEOPLE COME TO THE HOSPITAL, VISIT FAMILY OR WORK. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WANTED TO SAY AND KIND OF LIKE JUST -- LIKE BROADER STROKE SITUATION THAT I THINK IT SHOULDN'T BE BANNED AND IT SHOULD JUST BE REGULATED 100%. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> WE'LL TRY COLLEEN AGUILAR EPSTEIN. JUSTIN ELLIOTT IS STILL NOT ON ZOOM. AND ANN HILL WOULD BE THE LAST ONE. OKAY. THAT WILL BE IT. >> Prince: THANK YOU, EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS. I'M GOING TO JUST GO AROUND THIS WAY AND SEE IF ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS OF CHRISTINA OR CHAIR DIER OR SHARE COMMENTS REGARDING THE RECOMMENDATION WE NEED TO MAKE OF NUMBER ONE ACCEPTING THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL STUDY AND SUNSETTING THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE. COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START? >> Smith: YEAH. I THINK THE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS ARE VALID AND IT CERTAINLY IS WORTH THOSE. I'M GOING TO SAVE OTHER QUESTIONS UNTIL WE GET IT BROUGHT TO US FOR SOME ACTION. THANKS. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN TO CHAIRMAN DIRE AND EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED. THAT WAS A BIG AMOUNT OF TIME AND I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO THAT. I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED EARLIER ABOUT IF THE HOME IS IN A TRUST OR IF IT'S SOLD IF THAT WOULD TRANSFER. >> THE PASSING DOWN OF THE LAND USE FROM OWNER TO OWNER IS SOMETHING TO BE DISCUSSED. CHRISTINA, DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT? >> CERTAINLY. IF SOMETHING IS IN A TRUST, I THINK THOSE WERE BASED ON REGISTRATION, WHETHER IT STAYS IN REGISTRATION. IF IT DOES STAY THAT WOULD BE MAINTAINED. THE PROPERTY RIGHT RUNS WITH THE LAND, SO REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP THAT WOULD NOT CHANGE REGARDLESS OF WHO OWNS IT. SO THAT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. YOU CAN SELL THE PROPERTY, THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROPERTY RIGHT WOULD BE MAINTAINED NO MATTER THE OWNERSHIP. >> THAT WAS THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE. THANK YOU. >> I DON'T HAVE A CONCERN WITH ACCEPTING THE REPORT, BUT AS WE SAW WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE, I WOULD HESITATE TO FORMALLY SUNSET THE TASK FORCE YET BECAUSE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF BIG DECISIONS COMING UP, BIG DISCUSSIONS COMING UP REGARDING STRs, THE ZONING CONSIDERATIONS, THE REGISTRATION. THERE MAY BE SOME BACK AND FORTH I CAN SEE BETWEEN THE TASK FORCE, PLANNING AND ZONING AND COUNCIL. AND SO I WOULDN'T WANT TO NECESSARILY FORMALLY DISMISS THE TASK FORCE YET. I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE WORK THAT THE TASK FORCE HAS DONE, AND YOU IN BRINGING IT TO THIS STATE. AND I'M FAIRLY CONFIDENT IN WHAT YOU SAID THAT YOU DON'T THINK WE COULD GET MUCH MORE DOWN THIS ROAD WITH ALL THE MORE CHURN. BUT P AND Z AND COUNCIL HAVE A HABIT OF CHURNING. I'D LIKE TO HOLD OFF ON THAT, ON THE SUNSET OF THE TASK FORCE, AS WELL AS RESERVE NEXT STEPS PENDING OUR DISCUSSIONS STARTING NEXT WEEK. >> WELL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS ON THE TASK FORCE. THANK YOU, MAYOR DYER FOR THE HARD WORK AND LEADERSHIP THAT YOU PRESENTED. MS. DAY AND YOUR TEAM AS ALWAYS OUT PERFORMED ALL THE EXPECTATIONS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THE FINAL REPORT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN MOVING FORWARD. LIKE COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS, I DO HAVE A QUESTION AS TO WHEN WERE WE EXPECTING TO SUNSET THIS RENTAL TASK FORCE? BECAUSE AGAIN, I WAS ON P AND Z WHEN WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT WENT BACK AND FORTH A LOT LONGER THAN IT REALLY SHOULD BE. OF COURSE, COVID CAME IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, SO THAT DELAYED A LOT OF ACTIVITY. BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH AS WE WERE FINALIZING THE PLAN. SO WHAT WAS THE TIMING HERE OF THE SUNSET PART OF THIS? BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AT HAVING THIS APPROVED IN MAY, IS THAT CORRECT? >> I'M SORRY, YEAH. WE HAD AN ARBITRARY LENGTH OF A YEAR FOR THE INTERIM BAN, BUT IF THAT HAS TO GET PUSHED SO WE CAN MAKE THE RIGHT THING, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. WE JUST SET THE ARBITRARY TIMELINE AT A YEAR. >> SO MAYOR PRO TEM, COUNCIL MEMBERS, ONE OF THE THINGS I ALSO WANTED TO REITERATE AND REMIND COUNCIL WAS DUE TO THE SENSITIVE NATURE OF THIS, THERE WERE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER THESE WERE GOING TO BE RECOMMENDATIONS, HOW THIS WAS PASSED. THERE WAS SOME SENSITIVITY TO WHAT THE TASK FORCE'S SCOPE AND DUTIES WERE. SO I WANT TO CAUTION THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE A DIRECT PURPOSE, CONTINUING TO KEEP FOLKS FROM POSSIBLE VACATIONS, OTHER ELEMENTS OF LIFE DURING THIS TIME AFTER THEY'VE COMMITTED A YEAR TO THIS PROCESS IS SOMETHING I THINK WE NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF. IF WE DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS OR TIMELINES IN MIND WITH THAT. SO YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME SENSITIVITY THAT WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT RECOMMENDATIONS AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO COME BACK FROM THIS, WHICH I THINK WAS CHARACTERIZED AS CONSENSUS. AND IF WE'RE LOOKING FROM THAT, I THINK THAT THAT IS WHAT HAS BEEN INCLUDED WITHIN THE REPORT IS KIND OF THAT CONSENSUS MODEL MODEL. WE HAVE NOT ASKED FOR THEM TO GO BEYOND THAT. SO I WOULD JUST REMIND US THAT THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT WAS GIVEN BY COUNCIL AT THE TIME OF CREATION. >> AGAIN -- AGAIN, DO WE HAVE A TIMELINE ON WHEN WE WANTED TO SUNSET THE TASK FORCE? >> FROM THE STAFF PERSPECTIVE, THE INFORMATION GATHERING PIECE THAT THE TASK FORCE WAS -- THEIR WORK IS COMPLETE. THEIR JOB WAS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THIS BODY REGARDING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS THEY HAD. AND THEY ALSO WERE PROVIDING THE ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE GOING TO PLANNING AND ZONING. SO WE BELIEVE ALL THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN COLLECT AND PROVIDED IN THESE TWO REPORTS. SO FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED, SO THAT'S WHY WE DID RECOMMEND SUNSETTING THE TASK FORCE AT THIS POINT. >> SO YOU'RE LOOKING TO SUNSET THIS EVENING. >> THIS EVENING. I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY ADDITIONAL WORK IS NEEDED FROM THE TASK FORCE AT THIS POINT. IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL WORK THAT YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO, PLEASE LET US KNOW. WE'RE CLASS TO CONTINUE ANY ADDITIONAL WORK YOU -- WE'RE GLAD TO CONTINUE ANY ADDITIONAL WORK YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM. SO I GRAY WITH WHAT THE CITY MANAGER AND MS. DAY AND FRANKLY THE CITY MANAGER SAID. I PUT A LOT OF STOCK INTO THE REPRESENTATION THAT MR. DYER HAS SAID ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATION HAS BEEN DONE AND PEOPLE HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THIS. AND AT THIS POINT THE SEQUENCE THAT IS AVAILABLE HAS BEEN REACHED AND NO MATTER HOW MANY MORE TIMES THE TASK FORCE GOES BACK AND FORTH, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE MORE CONSEQUENCE THAN WE'VE GOT. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'VE GOT THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE CONSENSUS ON, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ELECTED A COUNCIL AND WE'LL VOTE ON THAT. ANYWAY, I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE TREMENDOUS WORK DONE BY MAYOR DYER AND ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE. OBVIOUSLY DIRECTOR DAY AND YOUR WHOLE TEAM IN PLANNING, Y'ALL HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, AS HAVE OTHER DEPARTMENTS LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OTHERS, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND OTHERS. I THANK EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN PART OF THIS AND I'M EXCITED THAT WE HAVE SOME GOOD DATA TO SINK OUR TEETH INTO AND NOW WE CAN HOPEFULLY MAKE SOME GOOD POLICY DECISIONS. SO THANK YOU AND I WOULD ACCEPT BOTH OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. >> Prince: THANK YOU. I ALSO WANT TO THANK CHAIR DYER, THANK YOU FOR BEING WILLING TO TAKE THIS ON IN ADDITION TO YOUR OTHER DUTIES SERVING FOR US. AND ALSO THANK YOU TO CHRISTINA AND ALL OF YOUR TEAM FOR YOUR HARD WORK, AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE TASK FORCE MEMBERS. WE APPRECIATE YOU WORKING HARD TO COME TO CONSENSUS. I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER RICCIARDELLI ABOUT SUNSETTING THE TASK FORCE. I THINK THAT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S NO OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. WE'VE GOT THESE NEXT TWO MEETINGS WHERE EVERYBODY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO GIVE US FEEDBACK, AND WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN FOR FEEDBACK THROUGH EMAIL AS ARE THE P AND Z COMMISSIONERS. SO I THINK THERE'S STILL OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO FEEL LIKE THEY'VE BEEN HEARD THROUGH THIS PROCESS AS WE GO THROUGH THE REGISTRATION AND THE ORDINANCE. SO TO ME WE'VE HAD A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION GATHERING AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE P AND Z AND COUNCIL TO DO ITS WORK. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE KEEP MOVING IN THIS PROCESS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO ARE READY FOR US TO MOVE THIS FORWARD. IT'S BEEN A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THIS AND NOW I THINK WE NEED TO GET TO SOME ACTION. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND SUNSETTING AND MOVING FORWARD. COUNCIL MEMBER HORNE, I DIDN'T HEAR WHERE YOU STAND ON THIS? >> I AM COMFORTABLE ACCEPTING THE STUDY AND SUNSETTING THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL TASK FORCE. >> Prince: SO I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH TO SAY WE CAN SUNSET AND ACCEPT IT. WONDERFUL. >> I WANTED TO ALSO THANK CHAIR DYER. IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF STATESMANSHIP TO BE WILLING TO WALK INTO THE SITUATION THAT WE'VE CONSISTENTLY ASKED HIM TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, AND HE RISES TO THE OCCASION EVERY TIME. AND YOU KNOW, HE'S JUST A TRUSTED AND VALUED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY AND JUST APPRECIATE HIS SERVICE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> Prince: ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS HERITAGE PRESERVATION GRANT PROGRAM AND MAINTENANCE FUNDING. OH. WELL, I -- AT LEAST I KNOW HOW TO READ. [LAUGHTER]. >> VERY WELL. >> Prince: WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THE NEXT ITEM FOR ME THEN? WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN FOR ME, MOVING MEETINGS TO DAVIS? OUR NEXT ITEM IS MOVING MEETINGS TO DAVIS LIBRARY PROGRAM ROOM. >> I STARTED WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS AND I WAS LIKE WAIT A SECOND. [LAUGHTER]. >> Prince: YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HERITAGE PRESERVATION? >> NO, I DO NOT. I COULD NOT EVEN FAKE THAT ONE. ALL RIGHT, YES, CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, AND I'LL BE PRESENTING TONIGHT HOPEFULLY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF HIS HENDERSON. SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT RENOVATING THIS COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND THE MOVE THAT WE WILL HAVE UPCOMING TO THE DAVIS LIBRARY. THAT WILL BE OUR TEMPORARY LOCATION FOR AROUND SEVEN MONTHS. I'VE GOT SOME SLIDES THAT KIND OF TALKS THROUGH THAT AND THE LOGISTICS.& SO JUST A REMINDER THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, THERE'S THREE AREAS THAT WE FOCUSED ON, THE ACCESSIBILITY. THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS THAT ARE INACCESSIBLE FOR ADA COMPONENT, SO WE'LL BE CORRECTING THOSE. THE AUDIO ACOUSTICS, A LOT OF THE SYSTEM IS VERY DATED. SO WE'LL BE IMPROVING THAT TO HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THE LISTENING AND VIEWING EXPERIENCE. AND THE SECURITY COMPONENT, THERE'S SEVERAL SECURITY COMPONENTS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED FOR IMPROVEMENT. SO WHILE WE'RE IN HERE DOING THOSE, WE'LL BE ADDING THOSE AS WELL. THE SCHEDULE AS I MENTIONED, STARTING OFF, WE ARE STARTING THIS APRIL 1st. SO THIS WILL BE THE LAST -- WELL, I TAKE THAT BACK. WE'VE GOT THE NEXT MEETING COMING UP, BUT APRIL 1st WAS WHEN WE WILL MOVE OVER THERE. THAT WILL BE P AND Z AND COUNCIL. WE HAD A BRIEF PRESENTATION LAST NIGHT WITH P AND Z AND TONIGHT IS FOR COUNCIL. AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE SCHEDULE IS APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MONTHS, HOPEFULLY IN NOVEMBER. SO JUST SO YOU GET AN IDEA, IF YOU'VE BEEN TO DAVIS, HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE, INDEPENDENCE IS ON YOUR RIGHT. NORTH IS STRAIGHT UP. AND SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS KIND OF DESIGNATED AN AREA TOWARDS THE BACK WHERE THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, THAT'S WHERE COUNCIL IS TO PARK, SENIOR STAFF. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CANNOT PARK IN THE FRONT, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BLOCK THAT OFF AND RESERVE THAT FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS AND EXECUTIVE STAFF. THERE IS AN ENTRANCE IN THE BACK BY THE LOADING DOCK THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO ENTER THE PROGRAM ROOM. THE PROGRAM ROOM IS THE CIRCLE AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN, THE SMALLER ONE. EXCUSE ME. AND AGAIN, DAVIS LIBRARY IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE JOINT USE FACILITY TO THE PROGRAM ROOM WILL BE WHERE THE REGULAR MEETINGS ARE AT. THE HARDY ROOM, WHICH IS IN THE JOINT USE FACILITY, SO IN A SEPARATE BUILDING, THERE IS A WALKWAY FROM THE TWO ROOMS AND WE'LL OBVIOUSLY SHOW YOU THAT FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MEETINGS, BUT THE HARDY ROOM IS WHERE YOU WILL HAVE EXEC SESSION DINNER. THE POM IS ACTUALLY FOR PLANNING AND ZONING, THAT'S WHERE THEY WILL BE HOLDING THEIR PRELIMINARY OPEN MEETINGS. SO SEATING CAPACITY. OBVIOUSLY DAVIS AND JOINT ARE LIMITED COMPARED TO THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS HAS 233 SEATING, APPROXIMATELY 68 FOR A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 301. THE DAVIS PROGRAM ROOM WHERE YOUR REGULAR MEETINGS WILL OCCUR HAS A SEATING CAPACITY OF 110, AND NO STANDING. THE STANDING IS VERY LIMITED. IT'S -- THERE'S JUST NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH ROOM IN THERE TO ALLOW STANDING. WE WILL REPURPOSE THE JOINT USE LOBBY AS OVERFLOW IF WE SEE THAT MEETING IS GOING TO GENERATE A LARGER AUDIENCE. THE JOINT USE WE CAN CONVERT THAT TO AN ADDITIONAL 109 SEATING, AS YOU CAN SEE BETWEEN THE TWO NUMBERS IT'S SLIGHTLY LESS CAPACITY THAN WHAT THE EXISTING COUNCIL CHAMBERS HAS TODAY. SO AS I MENTIONED, THE PROGRAM ROOM IS WHERE YOUR REGULAR MEETINGS WILL BE HELD. YOU CAN SEE THERE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN THE HARDY ROOM ACCESS. SO IN YOUR TRADITIONAL SENSE YOU'LL GO INTO THAT ROOM FIRST, YOU'LL START THE MEETING, RETIRE TO EXECUTIVE. THERE IS A DOOR THAT YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO WALK OVER TO THE HARDY ROOM. THE PUBLIC ENTRANCE OBVIOUSLY IS THE STANDARD LIBRARY PUBLIC ENTRANCE THERE. AND THEN THE OFFICIAL ACCESS, WHICH IS THE ONE I MENTIONED FROM THAT BACK PARKING LOT OR TO THE WESTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY. THIS IS THE ROOM BLOWN UP. THIS IS HOW WE ARE LAYING IT OUT. SO WE WILL HAVE NAME TAGS AND I THINK LISA IS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT FOR YOUR SEATING. YOUR SEATING WE HAVE UP TOWARDS THE FRONT. AGAIN, THE HARDY ROOM ACCESS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, THERE WILL BE A DOOR AND WE'LL HAVE SIGNAGE AT THE FRONT OF THE LIBRARY AS YOU'RE WALKING UP. WE'LL HAVE SIGNAGE IN THE LIBRARY. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE WILL FACE IS WHEN YOUR MEETING STARTS THE LIBRARY IS TECHNICALLY STILL OPEN, SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME AREAS THAT WE HAVE STANCHIONS THAT DIRECT PUBLIC TO THE MEETING IF THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING, OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO THE LIBRARY, TO STAY ON THE OTHER SIDE. WE DO HAVE ACCESSIBLE SEATING AT THE FRONT. WE WILL BE RESERVING THE FRONT SEATS FOR SPEAKERS. AGAIN, IF WE HAVE A LARGER AUDIENCE, ESPECIALLY LIKE TONIGHT WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF SPEAKERS, THERE MAY BE TO BE IN DIFFERENT FACILITIES SO WE'LL COORDINATE THAT DEPENDING ON WHEN THOSE MEETINGS OCCUR. AND THEN AGAIN THE ACCESS TO THE BACK IS WHERE YOU WOULD BE COMING IN. THE HARDY ROOM, WE'VE TRIED TO SHAPE IT VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE IS NOW, IN THE TRAINING ROOM A, THE U SHAPE AND THE SEATING ALONG THE SIDE, AND AGAIN THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL HAVE YOUR EXEC SESSION. THIS IS THE JOINT USEOVER THROW. BEGIN WITH THE LIMITED CAPACITY OF THE ROOM WE'LL HAVE A SCREEN THAT WILL BE SHOWING THE PRESENTATION AND THE COUNCIL MEETING THAT'S GOING ON, IF WE DO REACH THAT NUMBER WHERE WE HAVE TO OPEN THIS UP TO ALLOW FOR THAT OVERFLOW SEATING. WITH THAT DO YOU WANT TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SO JUST TO COVER WHAT MEETINGS WILL AND WILL NOT úBE G, ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS AND PLANNING AND ZONING AS DAVID SAID WILL BE MOVING TO THE LIBRARY. ALL OTHER MEETINGS THAT TYPICALLY MEETING IN THE CHAMBER WILL HAVE THEIR LOCATION ON THE AGENDA. SO BE SURE IF YOU'RE PARTICIPATING IN ONE OF THOSE MEETING TO DOUBLE-CHECK THE AGENDAS. JUST TO HELP OUT WITH WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN WE MOVE OVER THERE, WE'LL HAVE SIGNAGE DIRECTING EVERYONE TO THE ROOM WHERE IT'S -- TO GET TO THE ROOM FOR THE MEETING. ALL OF THE ACCESSIBILITY THAT IS IN THE CHAMBER WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE ROOM. WE HAVE SEATING LOCATIONS. THE ASSISTED LISTENING DEVICES AND iPADS FOR CLOSED CAPTIONS. THE MEETINGS WILL STILL BE BROADCASTED TO THE PUBLIC ON FACEBOOK, YouTube AND PLANO TV. REPLAYS WILL BE ON THE LOCAL CHANNELS AT THE REGULAR REPLAY TIME. WE WILL HAVE RESERVE SEATING FOR SPEAKERS, FOR MEDIA, FOR STAFF, JUST SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WHO NEED TO BE IN THE ROOM ARE IN THE ROOM. WHAT WILL CHANGE WHEN WE MOVE OVER THERE? BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED SP SPACE, WE WILL STILL HAVE PROCLAMATIONS SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS, ET CETERA, ON THE AGENDA. THE MAYOR WILL READ THOSE, BUT WE WILL NOT HAVE IN-PERSON PRESENTATIONS JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE LIMITED SPACE. ALSO WE'RE GOING TO TEMPORARILY SUSPEND THE EXTERNAL GROUPS LIKE OUR FABULOUS LITTLE BOY SCOUTS RIGHT HERE, TO DO THE PLEDGE, UNTIL WE MOVE BACK HERE. AND TO ACCOMMODATE THE SPEAKERS AND TO FIND OUT IF WE NEED TO SET UP THAT OVERFLOW ROOM, ALL REGISTRATIONS FOR SPEAKING WILL BE DONE BY 4:00 P.M. ON THE DAY OF THE MEETING. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO GET THAT ROOM SET UP AND HAVE THE STAFF AVAILABLE TO WORK THAT ROOM AND COORDINATE THOSE SPEAKERS GOING IN AND OUT OF THE REGULAR CHAMBER THAT WE'RE HAVING IN THE PROGRAM ROOM. COUNCIL WILL UTILIZE A HAND VOTE OR A VOICE VOTING BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE REGISTRATION OR THE VOTING SYSTEM THERE, AND THERE ISN'T STADIUM SEATING LIKE IN THE CHAMBER. IT'S ALL FLAT SEATING. SO THE VISIBILITY WON'T BE QUITE THE SAME FOR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE AUDIENCE, BUT THERE IS A LARGE SCREEN BEHIND THE DAIS AND ONE ON THE BACK WALL OF THE ROOM. JUST ANOTHER LITTLE SIDE NOTE, CONTRACTORS STARTED WORKING IN THE AREA OF INDEPENDENCE AND McCARTA DRIVE. SO THE LIBRARY IS ACCESSIBLE, BUT JUST BE SURE TO PLAN IN CASE THERE'S ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC IMPACTS. AND I JUST HAVE TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE PULLED TOGETHER TO GET THIS HAPPENING. IT TRULY HAS TAKEN A VILLAGE AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE AND THEIR HARD WORK. AND WITH THAT, WE ARE OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THE FIRST MEETING WE WILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A LOT OF STAFF OUT THERE DIRECTING AND THE WHOLE PILOT CONES AND EVERYTHING ELSE MAKING SURE YOU GET TO THE RIGHT SPOTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT I WOULD ASK THAT WE LEAVE A LITTLE EXTRA TIME, ARRIVE A LITTLE BIT EARLY SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND WE'RE WORKING WELL. NOT LOOKING THAT DIRECTION, I'M LOOKING -- [LAUGHTER] -- THIS WAY. BUT MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THERE AND GET THERE WITH A LITTLE BIT TO SPARE. >> YOU DID BEAT ME HERE. >> DULY NOTED. >> BUT I DO THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE CLOSE QUARTERS FOR AWHILE. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE DUE. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE WE STILL HAVE ALL OF THE WE'RE STILL DOING OURN.- MEETINGS IN THE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, BUT IT WILL BE CLOSE QUARTERS FOR AWHILE. BUT WHEN WE GET BACK HERE IT WILL BE FANTASTIC. CALEB HAS PROMISED ME THAT THERE WILL BE A GREAT PROJECT AND IT WILL TURN OUT GREAT. SO WHEN IT'S DONE IT WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT. APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND APPRECIATE THE PUBLIC'S PATIENCE WITH IT. AND THANK YOU, CALEB, FOR ALL YOUR AND LISA'S WORK TO GET THIS HAPPENING, AND YOUR TEAMS AS WELL, PAUL AND EVERYONE ELSE. >> >> Prince: ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? MY ONLY REQUEST IS THAT WE TAKE ONE LAST PICTURE ALL TOGETHER HERE BEFORE -- >> WE CAN DO THAT NEXT MONDAY. AFTER THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SLEDGE HAMMERS AROUND HERE. >> Prince: ALL RIGHT. CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDAS? ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION, ACTION ON FUTURE AGENDAS. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOT TAKE A RECESS, BUT -- >> PERFECT TIMING. >> Prince: WE'LL END THE PRELIMINARY MEETING AND I NOW DECLARE THAT THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL IS RECONVENED INTO OPEN SESSION AND THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT EXCEPT FOR MAYOR JOHN MUNS AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MARIA TU. WE WILL BEGIN TONIGHT'S MEETING WITH INVOCATION LED BY DR. CRAIG CURRY, AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND TEXAS PLEDGE BY TROOP 1000 FROM RESURRECTION LUTHERAN CHURCH. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. WOULD YOU PRAY WITH ME? DID DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER WE GIVE THANKS TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND I THANK YOU FOR PLANO. AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE GREAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US, WHO HAVE BEEN GREAT STEWARDS OF THIS CITY. AND I PRAY RECOGNIZING THAT RIGHT NOW IT'S OUR TIME AND OUR WATCH THAT WE ARE GOOD STEWARDS AND LEAVE PLANO IN BETTER SHAPE EVEN FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN. AND I LIFT UP OUR LEADERS, OUR MAYOR, OUR CITY COUNCIL, ALL OF OUR LEADERS OF OUR CITY. I PRAY FOR YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR GUIDANCE, AND I PRAY THAT THEY WOULD LOOK TO YOU AND I PRAY FOR UNITY AND I PRAY THAT AS THEY MAKE DECISIONS, AS THEY COME TOGETHER TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT YOU WOULD LEAD IT. AND I THANK YOU FOR IT. I LIFT UP OUR CITY AND PRAY FOR SAFETY, THAT YOU WOULD KEEP OUR CITY SAFE, ESPECIALLY OUR SCHOOLS. AND I THANK YOU FOR OUR TOWN. I PRAY YOUR BLESSING AND I PRAY IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN. >> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR& ALL. HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG, I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE, TEXAS, ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE. >> Prince: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> TROOP 1,000, I'M SORRY. I MISSED A ZERO. [LAUGHTER]. >> Prince: OKAY. [APPLAUSE] >> Prince: I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY TROOP 1000, NOT TROOP 100. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> THE CONSENT AGENDA, THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION AND CONTAINS ITEMS WHICH ARE ROUTINE AND TYPICALLY NON-CONTROVERSIAL. ITEMS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION BY A COUNCIL MEMBER, THE CITY MANAGER OR ANY CITIZEN. THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL ESTABLISH TIME LIMITS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKER REQUESTS. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. AND I HAVE A COMMENT. ITEM K, WELCOME BACK VICTOR FLORES. WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> I'LL SECOND. >> Prince: ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. IS IT OKAY? OKAY. I GOT CONFUSED WHEN I SAW THAT. ALL RIGHT. AND THE CONSENT AGENDA IS APPROVED SIX-0. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST. >> THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS THIS EVENING. >> YAY! >> Prince: ALL RIGHT. WELL THEN WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS, WE ARE ADJOURNED. [...
