CONSIDERATION AND ACTION RESULTING IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. OUR SECOND ITEM IS DEPARTMENTAL REPORT, ENGINEERING COMPLIANCE AND TRANSPORTATION DIVISIONS. CALEB THORNHILL. HI CALEB. >> Thornhill: HOWDY. HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, TONIGHT WE'VE GOT TWO ADDITIONAL PRESENTATIONS FOR YOU. BACK IN THE FALL WE DISCUSSED OUR GROUP, HOW THIS IS OUR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT HERE, BUT TONIGHT WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON COMPLIANCE AND TRANSPORTATION. AS I MENTIONED. THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IS MADE UP OF FIVE DIVISIONS. IN THE FALL YOU SAW THE CIP, THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THE FACILITIES GROUP. AND TONIGHT, WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT TRANSPORTATION AND COMPLIANCE. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ANDREA BARK. THE COMPLIANCE DIVISION MANAGER. >> I'M ANDREA PARK, THE COMPLIANCE MANAGER. I'M DOING TO BRIEFLY GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF MY POSITION, SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE A RATHER -- A SMALLER GROUP EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT. WE DO HAVE -- I'VE GOT TO GIVE THEM A CLICK, JUST SHOUTOUT OFFICIALLY ROXANNE CONTR CROWLEY, SHE DOES PRIMARILY OUR BUDGET AND FINANCIAL WORK. SHE IS OUTSTANDING AT HER JOB. WE HAVE THREE SENIOR ADMINS THAT EACH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TWO OF OUR DIVISIONS, INCLUDING THE DIRECTOR, AND THAT IS CANDACE HERD, AND THEN GINNY CAROL WHO WILL BE JOINING US ONE WEEK FROM TODAY. AND WE ARE EXCITED TO ADD HER TO OUR GROUP. OKAY. SO OUR TEAM CARRYING OUT ALL OF OUR DUTIES UNDER THESE FOUR PRIMARY PILLARS OF SERVICE, WHICH ARE TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING SUPPORT SERVICES THAT ARE FOCUSED COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATIVE, AND ALSO WE MAKE SURE TO PROVIDE ENHANCED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES AND EFFECTIVENESS, WE DO THIS, WE MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STRIVING FOR ALL OF OUR WORK TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE OPERATIONAL DRIVERS OF THE CITY OF PLANO, WHICH YOU KNOW ARE EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY SERVICES PROFESSIONAL STAFF, HIGH QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES. SO WHILE OUR TM PERFORMS A LARGE NUMBER OF DUTIES, WE CAN GENERALLY SUMMARIZE THESE INTO THREE AREAS OF CONCENTRATION, WHICH ARE COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE WORK ON THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ABOUT AND TITLE 6. OUR GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT, AND THEN SPECIAL PROJECTS. SO I WILL DIVE INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT ADA COMPLIANCE AND ONE OF MY JOBS AS THE COMPLIANCE MANAGER IS TO SERVE AS THE CITY'S ADA COORDINATOR, WHICH ALL OF MY DUTIES ARE PRETTY MUCH ENCOASSE WITHIN THE ITEMS YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN. SO I'LL QUICKLY TOUCH ON THOSE. ONE OF THE PRIMARY ROLES OF ADA COMPLIANCE IS CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT. THIS ISN'T JUST BACK AND FORTH TALKING WITH CITIZENS THROUGH E-MAIL AND PHONE, BUT THIS ALSO IS WHERE WE CAN GET OUT AND GATHER FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE RECENT PUBLIC OUTREACH WE HAD TO GATHER FEEDBACK ON THE COMING RENOVATIONS OF THIS COUNCIL CHAMBER, SO THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE OUR ADA SELF-EVALUATION AND TRANSITION PLAN UPDATES, SO THE PLAN IS UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO CAPTURE COMPLETED PROJECTS AND PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN THE FORMAL STUDY AND TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE IMPLEMENTATIONS SCHEDULE WHERE NECESSARY. OUR ADA ACTION FORMS, THESE ARE USED PRIMARILY TO CAPTURE UPDATES TO PROGRAMS OF SERVICES, THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE SELF-EVALUATION PLAN. SO IT HELPS US KEEP TRACK OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING. ACCOMMODATION REQUEST, AND FIXES, REQUESTS, THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE ITEMS, SO I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH BOTH OF THESE, BUT ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS ARE GOING TO BE SPECIFIC TO THE MODIFICATION OF A PROGRAM OF SERVICE, AND WE ACTUALLY SEE VERY FEW OF THESE. I THINK A LARGE PART OF THIS IS DUE TO THE REALLY STRONG PROACTIVE MEASURES TAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKELY SEE THESE TYPES OF REQUESTS, FOR EXAMPLE, PARKS AND REC AND LIBRARY, THEY ARE FANTASTIC ABOUT OFFERING SERVICES FOR ALL PROACTIVELY WITHOUT CERTAIN REQUESTS SINCE MY LAST UPDATE TO CITY COUNCIL, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS DURING COVID-19, WE RECEIVED ABOUT 15 ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS TO MODIFY A POLICY WHICH WAS THE MASK REQUIREMENT DURING COVID, AND WE'VE HAD ONE REQUEST TO ADD CLOSED CAPTIONING TO THE RECENT LISTENING TOUR, THAT WAS CONDUCTED VIA ZOOM, AND I'LL SAY I THINK THIS WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF COLLABORATION WITH ONE OF OUR CITIZENS, BECAUSE IT WAS A GREAT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY FOR US. SHE WAS ABLE TO TEACH US HOW TO DO IT. AND THEN WE CREATED A VIDEO THAT WE SENT OUT TO ALL CITYWIDE EMPLOYEES TO PROACTIVELY INCLUDE THAT ON ALL VIRTUAL MEETINGS MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE IS FIX IT, WHICH YOU KNOW IS A TOOL THE CITIZENS USE TO REPORT ANY CONCERNS OF ACCESSIBILITY, AND I PUT ON HERE, WE ARE AT ABOUT 18 FOR THIS YEAR AS COMPARED TO A TOTAL OF 21, AND 24 THE PRIOR YEARS. THE LARGE MAJORITY OF THE FIX IT TICKETS ARE DUE TO BLOCKED SIDEWALKS FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS, A BASKETBALL HOOP, A BROKEN LIMB CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT. SO THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF THE ADA REQUESTS WE RECEIVE ON FIX IT. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS I ACT AS THE TRAINING LIAISON AND PROVIDE TRAINING TO OUR DEPARTMENTALLY ASSON AND DEPARTMENTS UPON REQUEST. SOMETIMES THEY WILL HAVE A SPECIFIC SUBJECT THEY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT, CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR EXAMPLE. OKAY. TITLE 6 COMPLIANCE. THIS RELATES TO THE CITY'S COMPLIANCE EFFORTS WITHIN CIVIL RIGHTS ACTS, SPECIFICALLY TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE NOT DISCRIMINATING TO THE GROUNDS OF RAC COL OR NATIONAL ORIGIN. WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING OUR TITLE 6 6 DESK MANUAL AND THE LANGUAGE PLAN AND FOR COMPLETING THE ANNUAL TxDOT TITLE 6 AUDIT WHICH IS IN GOOD STANDINGS AND RECEIVES PRAISE REVIEW FOR BEING SATISFACTORY. LASTLY, I WILL TOUCH ON SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT MY TEAM DOES WITH ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT, THAT I PROCESS A LARGE NUMBER OF OPEN RECORDS REQUESTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. WE TAKE CARE OF OUR DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET, WHICH ASK IN WILL WILL IS WHICH IS IN FULL SWING RIGHT NOW. INVOICES AND PAY REQUESTS WE'RE AUTHORIZING OVER A THOUSAND A YEAR. MANAGEMENT AGENCY REPORTING, TO CENSUS BUREAU AND TxDOT, AND OUR DEPARTMENTAL SUPPORT, TRAINING TECHNOLOGY NEED, NOTARY SERVICES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, WE DO SOME SPECIAL PROJECTS, SOME EXAMPLES OF THOSE IN THE PAST YEAR UTILITY COORDINATION CONFLICT, WHICH WORK WITH SOME DEPARTMENTS ON, CARES FUNDING VERIFICATION, REFRESH AND WEBSITE UPDATES ARE EXAMPLES OF A SPECIAL PROJECT. SO WITH THAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME REGARDING THE COMPLIANCE DIVISION? >> Mayor Muns: THANKS, ANDREA. ANY QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. >> I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR. SHEWSKI. >> Shewski: >> Shewski: COUNCILMEMBERS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT PLANO'S STATE OF TRANSPORTATION, MY NAME IS BRIAN SHEWSKI, I'M ENGINEERING TRANSPORTATION DIVION MANAGER. RIGHT NOW OUR DIVISION IS SPLIT UP INTO TWO TEAMS. ONE HANDLING OUR DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES OF OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM, AND THE OTHER HANDLING BASICALLY EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS NONTRAFFIC SIGNAL RELATED. TRANSPORTATION DIVISIONS BASICALLY BEEN THE SAME SIZE FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. WHEN I CAME ON BOARD FOUR YEARS AGO, WE ESTABLISHED FOUR PRIMARY GOALS TO GUIDE OUR PROJECT SELECTIONS, AND OUR DECISION PROCESSES, SAFETY WAS NUMBER ONE, VING TRAFFIC WAS NUMBER TWO. IMPROVING WORK EFFICIENCY WAS NUMBER THREE. AND WISELY SPENDING OUR AVAILABLE BUDGETS WAS NUMBER 4. WE ESTABLISHED THESE GOALS AND DEVELOPED A PLAN TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC CONGESTION SAFETY CONCERNS, AGING TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE, AND OUR NEED TO WORK SMARTER WITH THE LIMITED STAFF THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE. SOME OF YOU MIGHT RECALL THE FIRST TIME PRESENTED PLANO'S STATE OF TRANSPORTATION. WHEN I THAT W H AVAILABLE. I SAID I WAS PLANNING ON TELLING YOU HOW BAD TRAFFIC WAS IN PLANO, AND LITERALLY TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THAT PRESENTATION, WHILE IT HAD CAME OUT WITH SOME RESULTS THAT NAMED PLANO THE FIFTH BEST LARGE CITY IN THE NATION. FAST FORWARD TO MY SECD SAVE THE TRANSPORTATION IN 2020 WHEN PRIOR TO MY SECOND. NO TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, RIGHT NOW WE SEE TRAFFIC REACHING HIGH LEVELS ON OUR FREEWAY, AND AT SOME OF OUR -- WHAT ARE SOME IMPORTANT DATA POINTS FOR THETATEF TRANSPORTATION? TRAFFIC IS INCREASING. WE'RE CONTINUING TO ADD TRAFFIC SIGNALS TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW TRAFFIC AND PASS-THROUGH TRAFFIC IS PART OF THIS INCREASE THAT NOT AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT THINK. I'M GOING TO REVEAL OUR BIG DATA ANALYSIS ON PASS-THROUGH TRAFFIC IN THE CITY OF PLANO. OUR CIVIC REQUESTS WERE -- AS COMPARED TO THE 2018-2019 AVERAGE. ONLY 2020 CAN BE FULLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE -- WE'RE HOPING THESE NUMBERS CONTINUE TO BE SMALLER AS COMPARED TO THE 2018-2019 AVERAGE MOVING FORWARD. LIKEWISE, OUR ROADWAY ACCIDENTS WERE ALSO DOWN TO 2020-2021 -- I'LL SPEAK MORE ON THIS TOPIC IN AWE FEW MINUTES. OUR ARTERIAL TRAVEL TIMES AS COMPARED TO 2019 OR ON AVERAGE DOWN ONE TO FOUR MINUTES. I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN JUST A BIT. EARLIER THIS YEAR WEE STARTED TO DESIGN EIGHT NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS. HERE'S THE LOCATION OF THE NEW SIGNALS WHICH SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED BEFORE MARCH OF 2023. THESE INTERSECTIONS INCLUDE -- LOS RIOS AT MARYMAN, LOS ROBLES, PLANO PARKWAY AT INTERNATIONAL, PRESTON AT TOWN SQUARE, ARE SPRING CREEKT BAY WATER IN TENISON AT DEMOCRACY. ONE OF THE LARGEST CONSUMPTIONS OF OUR STAFF TIME IS LOOKING AT PLANS FOR ROADWAYS AND UTILITIES. WE'VE REVIEWED OVER 500 SUCH PLANS IN 2021. WE ACTIVELY LOOK AT OUR PROJECTS, NETA ANDTEX DOT. SOME OF OUR MANY DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES ARE INVOLVED WITH THE PREPARATION OF NEW ORDINANCES, PARKING PERMITS, THE ONLINE PORTAL SYSTEM, FPIC AND FISD TRAFFIC REQUESTS FOR SCHOOL CAMPUSES IN OUR BIKE AND SCOOTER SHARE PROGRAM. WE DO HAVE 11 MONTHS WORTH OF RIDERSHIP DATA FROM BIRD SCOOTER AND IT REPORT THAT WE DO HAVE HEALTHY RIDERSHIP IN PLANO. THE NUMBERS ON THIS GRAPH MIGHT BE A LITTLE SMALL FOR YOU GUYS TO READ, BUT BIRD IS AVERAGING JUST UNDER 2,000 RIDES PER MONTH, AND THAT EQUATES TO OVER 4,000 MILES RIDDEN PER MONTH. ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIVISION PROGRAMS AND ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT IS OUR ANNUAL TRAFFIC SAFETY EVALUATION PROGRAM. EVERY YEAR WE EVALUATE ACCIDENT TRENDS AND GENERATE A LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS TO STEM THESE HIGH ACCIDENT LOCATIONS. THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE THEN FED BACK TO THE CIP TEAM TO GENERATE THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PLANS. TO OUR PUBLIC WORARTNS TO ADDRS SIGNING, PAVEMENT MARKING, AND SIGNALIZATION ISSUES OR KEPT INTERNALLY WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING ISSUES. ONE OF OUR IMPROVEMENTS THAT MATT TILKE, OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS AND ONE OF OUR SUPERVISORS, SAYS AND HIS TEAM THAT STARTED LAST YEAR AND FINISHED UP IN MARCH, INCLUDED A MAJOR REPHASING OF THE PRESTON STATE 121 INTERCHANGE, FOUR INTERSECTIONS, ONE CONTROLLER, FOUR INTERSECTIONS. THE INITIAL RESULTS OF THE PHASING SHOWED A 50% REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC VOLUMES. THIS INTERSECTION OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WAS THE NUMBER ONE INTERSECTION IN PLANO FOR ACCIDENTS IN EACH OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT'S A HUGE REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. WE'LL RE-EVALUATE THIS IN OUR 2022 TRAFFIC EVALUATION PROGRAM. WE'RE TAKING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN PLANO THROUGH A TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE. YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. WE FOUND $8 MILLION IN FUNDS FOR ONE OF OUR BIG PROJECTS. THIS CHANGE THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FOCUS OF OUR TEAM AFTER SAFETY-RELATED ACTIVITIES. WE'VE ALREADY UPGRADED OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLE PREEMPTION SYSTEM AND UPGRADED THE SYSTEM ZONE FLASHER SYSTEM. OUR NEW TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. HOWEVE SIMILAR TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WE'VE HAD SOME SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES. WE ACTUALLY ANTICIPATE IF EVERYTHING GOES AKORGTD TO PLAN, WE ANTICIPATE ACTIVATION OF THE TMC LATER THIS SUMMER. OTHER AREAS OF THE TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE INCLUDE EXPANSION OF OUR SYSTEM FROM 40 SIGNALIZED SIGNAL SYSTEMS TO 200 SIGNALIZED SYSTEMS. WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE PLANO CITY DESK AND WILL BE GOING OUT TO A BID ON THOSE HERE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO. THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS THAT 108 SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO AND REPLACED WITH FIBEROPTIC COMMUNICATIONS AS PART OF THE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES DEPARTMENT FIBER PROJECT. WE'RE CURRENTLY NEGOTIATING A DESIGN CONTRACT TO HAVE 120 MORE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS OVER TO FIBER. WERE ALSO CURRENTLY NEGOTIATING A CONSULTANT CONTRACT TO EVALUATE AND UPGRADE TO OUR VEHICLE DETECTION SYSTEM AND DEVELOPMENT PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. A CONSULTANT IS ALREADY CURRENTLY DEVELOPING PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS TO UPDATE OUR 15 PLUS YEAR OLD TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM AND SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION CAN NETS AND CONTROLLER OF THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. ONE OF THE OPERATIONAL AREAS THAT WE ARE FULLY EMBRACING IS THE INTEGRATION OF ANALYTICS, BIG DATA, AND PERFORMANCE METRICS INTO OUR DAILY OPERATIONAL AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES. ONE SUCH AREA THAT WE NEED TO GET AIR BETTER UNDERSTANDING IS . WE JUST FINISHED A HANDFUL OF OUR SEVEN-DAY COUNTS AND THIS PARTICULAR FIGURE SHOWS THE COMPARISON BETWEEN OUR 2019 AND 2022 COUNTS. UNLIKE OUR SURROUNDING FREEWAYS, WHICH HAVE INCREASED IN VOLUME BACK TO PRE-COVID NUMBERS, PLANO'S CURRENT ARTERIAL TRAFFIC VOLUMES STILL HAVE AN AVERAGE OF 12% LESS TRAFFIC THAN WE DID PRE-COVID. CERTAIN AREAS SUCH AS THE LEGACY BUSINESS PARK HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS TRAFFIC. YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE 42% REDUCTION ON LEGACY DRIVE IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF TOWN THAT NUMBER ACTUALLY SHOWS HOW MANY OF THE CORPORATE EMPLOYEES IN THE LEGACY BUSINESS PARK ARE STILL TELECOMMUTING. HOWEVER, PLEASE ALSO KEEP IN MIND THE NUMBER ALSO SHOWS THE REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AT THE LEGACY STATE HIGHWAY 121 INTERCHANGE. LESS LANES MEANS LESS TRAFFIC. LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME ACCIDENTS. OUR ACCIDENT NUMBERS ARE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN REPORTED BY POLICE. WHEN YOU SEE THEIR PRESENTATION, THEIR NUMBERS WILL BE HIGHER. WHY IS THAT? WE ACTUALLY SLIMPL JUST REMOVED NON-ROADWAY ACCIDENTS. IF IT'S IN A PARKING LOT, IF IT'S IN A PRIVATE PROPERTY, WE DO NOT INCLUDE THAT IN OUR ANALYSIS. WE ACTUALLY ANTICIPATED LESS TRAFFIC OR LESS ACCIDENTS DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF COVID. LESS TRAFFIC, LESS ACCIDENTS. WHAT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE IS THE NUMBER OF YEARLY ACCIDENTS THAT THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW A LINEAR PATH AS TRAFFIC VOLUME STARTED INCREASING. HE WITH ASSUMED THAT TRAFFIC VOLUMES INCREASE. THE ACCIDENTS WOULD INCREASE EXACTLY THE SAME. HOWEVER, AT THE END OF '21-2021 WE'RE ACTUALLY STILL 24% LESS ACCIDENTS THAN WE WERE IN THE 2017-2019 THREE-YEAR AVERAGE. IT'S ACTUALLY TOO EARLY TO TELL, BUT WE'RE HOPING SOME OF THE OPERATIONAL SAFETY AND CAPACITY AGREEMENTS WE'VE MADE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS ARE GOING TO KEEPHESE NUMBERS DOWN. WE REALIZE THIS YEAR THAT MORE THAN 10% OF ALL ROADWAY ACCIDENTS IN PLANO OCCUR ACROSS U.S. 75. 10% OF ALL THE ACCIDENTS OCCUR ALONG U.S. 75. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE U.S. 75 OPERATIONAL AND GEE BHET RICK IMPROVEMENTS WE GAVE TO TX DOT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WOULD ACTUALLY PUT A HUGE DENT THAT P IN THESE ACCIDENT NUMBERS. WE'RE ACTUALLY STILL WAITING ON THE EVALUATION OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. ONE AREA OF BIG DATA IS THE USE OF MOBILE GPS DATA FROM TRAFFIC DATA AND AGGREGATORS. WE NOW HAVE ACCESS TO TRAVEL TIME AND DESTINATION DATA. BASICALLY FROM THE MOTORING PUBLIC. IF YOU HAVE EVER USED WAYS OR GOING THE TO ROUTE ONE OF YOUR TRIPS WE'RE BASICALLY USING THE SAME DATA, AND IT'S ACTUALLY VERY, VERY ACCURATE. IN 2019 AND AGAIN EARLIER THIS YEAR WE COLLECTED TRAVEL TIME DATA ALONG 21 DIFFERENT CORRIDORS AS REPRESENTED IN THIS MAP. BASICALLY FROM ONE CITY LIMIT TO THE OTHER ACROSS THE CITY. ONE SUCH EXAMPLE IS WESTBOUND PARKLAND ROAD FROM THE EASTERN TO THE WESTERN CITY LIMITS. IT'S ABOUT FOUR MINUT LESSN 2022. THE TRAVEL TIME THAN IN 2019. THE PERIOD IS ONE TO THREE MINUTES LESS IN 2022, AND THE PMP PERIOD IS THREE AND A HALF MINUTES SHORTER IN 2022 AS COMPARED TO 2019. EASTBOUND PARK ROAD HAS SIMILAR NUMBERS. THESE REDUCTIONS ARE PARTIALLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO DECREASED TRAFFIC AND SOME OF THE CHANGES WE MADE TO OUR TIMING PLANS LITERALLY WITHIN WEEKS OF COV HITTING BACK IN 2020. . THE LAST BIG DATA AREA OR USES CAN BE FOUND INNER ENGINE DESTINATION STUDIES. OTHERWISE KNOWN AS OD STUDIES. USING STREETLIGHT DATA, ANOTHER AGGREGATOR, WE HAVE SPLIT THE CITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS INTO 50 ZONES OR GATES. EVERY MAJOR EXIT IS COVERED IN THIS MAPPING SYSTEM. WITH FAIRLY HAYEK KRASY WE CAN DETERMINE THE ORIGINS AND DESTINATIONS OF VEHICLE TRIPS INTO AND OUT OF EVEN OF THESE ZONES. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION I KIND OF MENTIONED HOW MUCH TRAFFIC ACTUALLY IS PASSING THROUGH PLANO. LET'S USE PRESTON ROAD AS AN EXAMPLE. I WANT YOU TO THINK IF YOU ARE COMING SOUTHBOUND ON PRESTON ROAD AND YOU ENTER AT 121 AND YOU GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO, SAY, HIGHWAY 190, HOW MUCH PASSES THROUGH?THINK ACTUALLY - IN THE PAST I'VE SEEN INDIVIDUALS STATE THAT 50% OF THE TRAFFIC GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY. THIS FIGURE REPRESENTS THE SOUTHBOUND PRESTON ROAD OD TRAFFIC ENTERING PLANO AT 121 AND KROOIFG ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO GEORGE BUSH. WE HAVE ON THIS GRAPH THE AMP, THE OFF PEAK AND DAILY OD NUMBERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR MOVEMENT. ON AN AVERAGE WEEK DAY 9% OF THE AFFIAT 121 ACTUALLY STAYS ON PRESTON AND TRAVELS ALL THE WAY TO GEORGE BUSH. 9%. IF YOU COME IN SOUTHBOUND AT 121, NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO GO STRAIGHT DOWN THROUGH GEORGE BUSH. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT GO OVER TO THE TOLLWAY AND SOME PEOPLE MIGHT GO TO THE U.S. 75. THEY MIGHT EXIT PLANO. WE CAN CALCULATE THAT NUMBER ALSO. A LITTLE DIFFERENT, A LITTLE HIGHER NUMBERS IS WHAT'S IN PLANO PARKWAY ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF TOWN. ROUGHLY 50% OF ALL OF OUR TRAFFIC ENTERING ON A GIVEN DAY ACTUALLY PASSES THROUGH PLANO. FINALLY, WE'VE ALSO ANALYZED THE INDIVIDUAL LINKS WITHIN OUR CITY AND THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF OD TRIPS IN PLANO. THAT IS HOW MANY TRIPS START AND END IN PLANO. HOW MANY TRIPS START IN PLANO AND THEN OUTSIDE OF PLANO, HOW MANY TRIPS START OUTSIDE OF PLANO AND END UP IN PLANO. HOW MANY TRIPS START OUTSIDE PLANO AND END UP OUTSIDE PLANO. IE, CAPACITIOR TRIPS. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE DAILY AVERAGE OF PASSENGER TRIPS FOR PLANO, 20% -- 21% OF TRAFFIC ENTERING PLANO PASSES THROUGH PLANO ON AN AVERAGE WEEK DAY. I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON SOME OF THE BIG DATA STUFF THAT WE'RE DOING. WHY IS THIS EVEN USEFUL? JUST SO WE CAN ANALYZE THE MICROLINKS WITH THIS DATA TO HELP US BETTER DETERMINE WHICH LINKS HAVE A HIGHER PRIORITY FOR COORDINATION WITHIN THE CITY. DOES IT MAKE SENSE IF ONLY 9% HAVE THE TRAFFIC ON PRESTON IS GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY TO PROVIDE CRDINATION FROM THAT POINT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE OTHER END? YOU MIGHT BREAK IT UP SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE TO GET TRAFFIC TO ADD IN AND JOIN INTO THE PLATOONS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE CITY. WITH THAT, I ASK KAYLA HOW MANY HOURS I HAD FOR THE PRESENTATION. I TOLD ME 15 MINUTES. THUS ENDS THE 2022 STATE OF TRANSPORTATION. APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S TIME AND IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, BRIA ANY QUESTION? MAYOR PROTEMP. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THAT WAS INTERESTING TEND THE PSS-THROUGH DATA. YOU MENTIONED ^ SUBTLY OR NOT SUBTLY A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT YOU HAVE A SMALL DEPARTMENT AND THAT THE STAFF HASN'T BEEN INCREASED SINCE 20 YEARS AGO. MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD MORE STAFF IN YOUR DEPARTMENT? WHAT WOULD THEY DO? HOW WOULD THAT HELP US IMPROVE OUR TRAFFIC SITUATION PLAN? >> ONE, THINGS WOULD GET DONE A LOT FASTER THAN CURRENY. I DON'T MD SAYING, THE VERY FIRST THING ON MY PLATE WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE FOUR YEARS AGO WAS TO UPDATE THE THOROUGHFARE STANDARDS. WE LITERALLY JUST STARTED THAT FOUR MONTHS AGO. WE BASICALLY KEPT PUSHING THAT DOWN THE LINE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE STAFF TO DEVOTE TO THAT OR THE RIGHT MIX OF STAFF TO DEVOTE TO THAT. PLANNING, FORTUNATELY, GOT AN INDIVIDUAL ON BOARD THAT I USED TO WORK WITH THAT HAD AN EXPERTISE IN DOING THAT, SO OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT COULD HELP US MANAGE THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATION ISSUES THAT COME UP A LOT QUICKER. IT'S NOT JUST INDIVIDUALS. IT'S SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT OUT LIKE CCTV SYSTEM. WE HAVE 40 CAMERAS OUT ON THE STREET. 40 INTERSECTIONS OUT OF 280 INTERSECTIONS HAVE CAMERAS. IF WE'RE SITTING IN THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER AND WE GET A CALL THAT INTERSECTION X HAS A PROBLEM, IF WE HAVE A CAMERA THERE, WE CAN IMMEDIATELY LOOK AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE CAMERA. IF WE DON'T HAVE A CAMERA THERE, WE CAN GO OUT IN THE ELD, THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY, DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE OR MAYBE LATER THAT WEEK OR MAYBE THE NEXT WEEK TORGS TO GO OUT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT'S -- I THINK TWO YEARS AGO COUNCIL APPROVED THE POSITION THAT WE HAD. WE HAD ONE TRAFFIC OPERATOR. YOU APPROVED A SECOND ONE. BEFORE WE WERE ONLY OPERATING 8:00 TO 12:00 AND 1:00 TO 5:00. WE WERE MISSING THE A.M. PEAK PEOD AND NOON PEAK PERIOD OF TIME. WE WERE BASICALLY ABLE TO COVER ALL OF THOSE BASES. THERE'S QUITE A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT I CAN SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING TOO. >> WHAT DATA ARE BEING USED TO DETERMINE TRAFFIC SIGNAL PLACEMENT? >> TRAFFIC SIGNAL PLACEMENT. >> TRAFFIC SIGNAL PLACEMENT. THE REASON I ASK THIS IS I NOTICED WE HAD PARKWOOD AND DEMOCRACY ON THERE AS A NEW SIGNAL LOCATION. THAT'S JUST WHAT I HAPPEN TO BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH. I'M THROUGH THAT WAY ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONTROLLED SIGNAL AT SPRING CREEK AND PARKWOOD AND A BLOCK UP AT TENNISON. THIS IS CUTTING IN HAD THE MIDDLE. BETWEEN TENNISON AND LEGACY AND NORTH -- WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER SIGNAL. WHAT HAS CHANGED THERE? HOW WOULD WE DETERMINE A NEW SIGNAL IS NEEDED? THERE'S A WARRANTING PROCESS WE NEED TO GO TWLOUHERE NIN DIFFERENT WARRANTS. MOST WITH BASED ON TRAFFIC VOLUMES, BUT SOME ARE BASED ON ACCIDENTS. SOME ARE RATED ON -- OR BASED ON THE PLACEMENT OF AN INTERSECTION WITHIN A SIGNALIZED CORRIDOR. DEMOCRACY IN PRESTON, IT WAS OUR NUMBER ONE UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WHEN IT CAME TO ACCIDENTS. IT SURPASSED MOST OF OUR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WHEN IT CAME TO ACCIDENTS. WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME OUT THERE AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION TRYING TO FIND OUTHY- I'M SORRY. DEMOCRACY AND PARKWOOD. WHY THAT ACCIDENT -- WHAT THOSE ACCIDENTS WERE HAPPENING. BASICALLY CAME TO THE DETERMINATION THAT WE HAD TO HAVE A SIGNAL THERE. THAT WAS WARRANTING ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS. PRESTON AND TOWN SQUARE THAT'S JUST SOUTH OF 121, THAT WAS WARRANTED ON TRAFFIC VOLUMES. I COULD LITERALLY GO THROUGH THE LIST, BUT IT'S EITHER TRAFFIC VOLUME OR ACCIDENTS AND IN THE CASE OF TENNISON AND DEMOCRACY, THAT IS A FOUR-WAY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR SIGNALIZED COIDOR IN ORDER NOT TO STOP PEOPLE AND PROVIDE COORDINATION ACROSS THE ENTIRE STRETCH OF TENNISON, WE'VE CHOSE TO MAKE THAT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION. EVERYBODY GUESSED PRESTON PARK, AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE QUINCY. IT WAS A GOOD INDICATION THAT WE HAD A NUMBER OF STALT INCOMPETENTSES WITH ACCIDENTS THERE, AND WE CHOSE TO AO CUT THAT NUMBER DOWN. THAT'S -- >> WE DON'T JUST RANDOMLY PICK THESE LOCATIONS. >> OH, COME ON. THAT WOULD BE EASY. >> BASED ON REAL ANALYSIS. THERE'S OTHER INTERSECTIONS WITHIN THE CITY THAT MARGINALLY MEET WARRANTS. THEN WE HAVE TO -- FOR THE DOLLARS WE HAVE AVAILABLE, WHICH ONES ARE RATED HIGHER. >> GREAT ANSWER. >> NO PROBLEM. >> JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION OUT AT THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WE KEEP GETTING INFORMED THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK O 75 AND GET SOME PROJECT -- OR PROGRESS ON THAT BY THE YEAR 2024. ONE OF THE CHIEF ISSUES THAT I THINK WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED IS YOU HAVE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. TRAFFIC FROM THE LIGHT IS BACKED UP ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE EMPTY LEFT TURN LANE. IT'S GOT A GREEN ARROW. NOBODY ABLE TO UTILIZE IT. MAIN LIGHT TURNS LEFT, AND YOU - CAN GET INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE FROM WHICH YOU CAN NO LONGER TURN LEFT. THAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY AT OUR OPTIONS FOR MITIGATING THAT TRAFFIC BUILD-UP ISSUE. >> YOU SEE A SMILE COMING ON MY FACE AS YOU BRING THAT SUBJECT UP. I BASICALLY LAST 30 SOMETHING YEARS I'VE BEEN IN PLANO, AND I'VE SEEN ALL THESE PLACES AND THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC THAT WE'VE SEEN IN PLANO. THEN THERE ARE SOME THINGS W HAVEN'T DONE AND PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DONE. ONE IS CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS. YOU'LL SEE A HUGE LIST THAT'S ALREADY STARTED. A HUGE LIST OF INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. LENGTHENING LEFT TURN LANE AND GOING TO A DUAL LEFT ON A LEFT-TURN LANE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE TRAFFIC IN THERE TO GET THROUGH. WE'VE CHANGED OUR SIGNAL PHASING. INSTEAD OF A LEADING LEFT, SOMETIMES WE LAG A LEFT AT THE END OF THE THREE PHASE SO THAT THAT LEFT TURN LANE CAN GET MORE TRAFFIC AND THROWN DUMP THEM ON TO THE CROSSING ARTERIAL. THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS WE CAN DO. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, BRIAN. APPRECIATE IT. >> OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM THREE, NEW BUSINESS. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THAT TO THE REGULAR MEETING HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. NEXT ITEM IS CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDAS. DISCUSSI OR FUTURE AGENDAS. WITH THAT WE WILL TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS AND START THE MEETING STRAIGHT UP AT 7:00.

[TEXAS PLEDGE] >> THANK YOU. BE SEATED, PLEASE. >> SO WE HAVE TWO PROCLAMATIONS TONIGHT. OUR FIRST IS MAY IS BUILDING SAFETY MONTH, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I GOT A CALL DOWN HERE TO PRESENT THE PROCLAMATION OF THE BUILDING SAFETY MONTH. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PROCLAMATION? THERE'S A LOT TO IT. MUST BE ALL THE BUILDING STANDARDS THAT WE REQUIRE. >> THE WHOLE CODE IS IN THERE. >> I'M GOING TO ROAD A PORTION OF IT, BECAUSE WE'LL BE HERE ALL NIGHT. WHEREAS, THE CITY OF PLANO IS COMMITTED TO RECOGNIZING THAT OUR GROWTH AND STRENGTH DEPENDS THE SAFETY AND ESSENTIAL ROLE OF HOMES, BUILDINGS, INFRASTRUCTURE, PLAY, BOTH IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND WHEN DISASTER STRIKES, AND WHEREAS SAFETY FOR ALL BUILDING CODES AND ACTIONS, THE THEME FOR BUILDING SAFETY MONTH 2022 ENCOURAGES US ALL TO MAKE AWARENESS ABOUT PLANNING FOR SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION, WHEREAS EACH YEAR IN OBSERVANCE OF BUILDING SAFETY MONTH WE'RE ASKED TO CONSIDER THE COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE BUILDING SAFETY, RESILIENCE AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT AT HOME AND IN HAD THE COMMUNITY. NOW I, THEREFORE, JOHN B.MUNS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PLANO, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MAY OF 2022 AS BUILDING SAFETY MONTH IN THE CITY OF PLANO, AND I DO, THEREBY, ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO JOIN ME AND THE PLANO CITY CONDITIONS IN COMMENTING OUR DEDICATED STAFF AND THEIR VILLAGE LANT EFFORTS TO UPHOLD THE BUILDING CODES TO INSURE PLANO IS A CITY OF EXCELLENCE. CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] >> SAY A FEW WORDS I YOU WOULD LIKE. >> I DID COME PREPARED. >> THAT IS SO GOOD. I FIGURED YOU WOULDN'T READ THE WHOLE THING, SO I'LL READ THE REST OF IT. FLO, I'LL JUST SAY A FEW WORDS. IT STARTED 42 YEARS AGO. THE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS SUPPORTING BUILDING SAFETY. COMMITTEE KEEP FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES SAFE IN SAFE STRUCTURES. THE THEME IS SAFETY FOR ALL, BUILDING CODES IN ACTION. IT GOES FURTHER. ERY WEEK WE'VE ALREADY HAD FIRST WEEK. IT HAS A SEPARATE THEME, ENERGY AND INNOVATION THE FIRST WEEK. SECOND WEEK WE'RE IN BUILDING SAFETY CAREERS. WE NEED MORE BUILDING INSPECTORS. I KNOW IF ANYONE IS LISTENIG, WE'RE NEEDING IT. WEEK THREE, DISASTER PREPAREDNESS. WEEK FOUR IS WATER SAFETY. WE'VE ALSO FOLLOWED THAT UP THIS WEEK ON THURSDAY. WE'RE HAVING OUR FIRST BUILDERS LUNCH AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN ALMOST TWO YEARS, AND WE'LL BE TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THAT. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR THAT. >> CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. APPRECIATE IT. [APPLAUSE] >> MAY IS ALSO NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH. A TIME TO ENCOURAGE THE SAVING OF AMERICAN HISTORIC TREASURES. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL FORWARD MIKE BELL. MIKE IS PART OF THE PLANNING COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING MANAGER AND PLANNING STAFF. HAROLD SICKLER, HERITAGE COMMISSION, JANET MUTH, THE TEXAS POOL FOUNDATION, EMLOU ALOU-HEITENAN, DIRECTOR OF THE HERITAGE FARM STEAD MUSEUM. JEFF CAMPBELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PLANO CONSERVE ANSWER YEA FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND ANY OTHERS IN THE GROUP THAT I JUST MENTIONS.

WHEREAS, HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR REVITALIZING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, FOSTERING LOCAL PRIDE, AND MAINTAINING COMMUNITY CHARACTER WHILE ENHANCING LIVEABILITY. IT HAS THE POWER TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE SOCIETIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS BY SAVING AND CELEBRATING AMERICA'S HISTORIC TREASURES. WHEREAS PEOPLE SAVING PLACES IS THE THEME OF 2022 NATIONAL PRESERVATION MONTH AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION, HERITAGE STEAD MUSEUM, THE TEXAS POOL FOUNDATION, PLANO ART ASSOCIATION, PLANO CONSERVANCY FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, THE NORTH TEXAS MASONIC HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND LIBRARY, NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, COLIN COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION, AND THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PLANO ASSOCIATION. WHEREAS PRESERVATION IS WORKING ANDING WILL CONTINUE TO WORK IN PLANO BECAUSE OUR CITY LEADERS, NONPROFIT LEADERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, AND CITIZENS RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE AND HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND ADAPTIVELY REUSE THESE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY. NOW, THEREFORE, I JOHN B.MUNS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PLANO, TEXAS, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MAY 2022 AS NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH IN PLANO, AND I DO, THEREBY, ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO JOIN ME AND THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL IN CALLING UPON THE PEOPLE OF THE PLANO TO JOIN THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN RECOGNIZING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE SPECIAL OBSVANC THANK YOU SO MUCH.

KEVIN BUTLER. >> A RESIDENT O PLANOOR ABOUT 30 YEARS NOW. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO MY CONCERNS TODAY. BEFORE I BEGIN A SPECIAL THANKS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS RICIARDELLI AND WILLIAMS. THEIR FEEDBACK WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I'M HERE TODAY. I HAVE TWO CONCERNS REGARDING THE SIGNS POSTED AT INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE THERE TO ADDRESS PANHANDLING. POINT ONE, THE SIGNS IMPLY THAT THE ONLY PEDESTRIANS IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE PANHANDLERS. NO DISRESPECT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WHO CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IN THAT ACTIVITY, BUT I DON'T APPRECIATE THE CITY HEAVILY IMPLYING THAT I'M A PANHANDLER. IT MAKES SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE MORE DIFFICULT. IT'S HARD TO IMPROVE IF THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO USE THEM ARE PANHANDLERS. POINT NUMBER TWO, THE SIGNS ARE SHOCKINGLY A FRANK ADMISSION THAT OUR ROADS ARE NOT SAFE IF YOU'RE NOT IN A CAR. SIR, MOST PEDESTRIANS WON'T BE HANGING OUT AT THE MEDIAN FOR LONG. WHAT IF YOU ARE IN A WHEELCHAIR? WHAT IF YOU GET STUCK BEHIND CARS TURNING AND WON'T LET YOU IN? OR IF YOU ARE JUST A SLOW WALKER? YOU'RE GOING TO BE STUCK IN THIS UNSAFE PLACE. WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS PLANO HAS SO FEW CROSSWALKS THAT WE'RE FORCED TO CROSS AT THESE INTERSECTIONS THAT SIGNS HAVE SAYING THEY'RE UNSAFE. IT'S CLEAR THAT PEDESTRIANS ARE AN AFTERTHOUGHT HERE, BUT THESE SIGNS BRING HOSTILITY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. WE ALREADY HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN INCOMPLETE SIDE WALK NETWORK, OBSTACLES IN THE EXISTING SIDE WALKS AND NEGLECTED TRAIL SYSTEM. NOW TO BE TOLD THAT THE ONLY PLACES WITH CROSSWALKS ARE UNSAFE FOR PEDESTRIANS IS JUST INSULTING. I CAN'T TAKE IN ANYMORE. THERE ARE SO MANY EXSE AND I'M TIRED OF THEM. YEAH, NOT MANY PEOPLE WALK IN PLANO, BUT USING THAT AS A REASON NOT TO -- TO IGNORE OUR NEEDS IS THE SAME LOGIC AS SAYING, HEY, WE SHOULDN'T BUILD A BRIDGE. PEOPLE AREN'T SWIMMING ACROSS THE RIVER. THE CITY SEES A NEED TO HAVE NEATLY TRIMMED MEDIANS, SIX LANES OF TRAFFIC, THREE TURNING LANES, BUT SIDEWALKS, THAT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR. WE HAVE TO GET THE PROPERTY MANAGERS TO DO THAT. IT'S -- I'M ANGRY ABOUT THIS. I HAVE TO CALM DOWN. RUNNING LOW ON TIME. I'M ASKING FOR THE FOLLOWING. ONE, PLEASE TAKE DOWN THEIGNS AND TRY A DIFFERENT MESSAGE. TWO, PLEASE NOT AN APOLOGY MAKE A STATEMENT OR PAGE ON THE WEBSITE SAYING THAT -- UNDO THE DAMAGE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PANHANDLER TO BE A PEDESTRIAN IN PLANO. I'M SURE YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER. FINALLY, I'M BEGGING YOU, WE NEED DISCUSSIONS AND ACTIONS ON MAKING OUR ROADS SAFER FOR PEDESTRIANS. I HAVE SOME IDEAS, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. AT THE END OF THE DAY -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> -- I'M NOT ASKING FOR EXCELLENCE. I'M ASKING FOR TOLERANCEND TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR SERVICE. >> THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS NELLY GARCÍA. >> HELLO. SORRY. A LITTLE NERVOUS. MY NAME IS NELLY GARCÍA. I LIVE AT 6900 RAINWOOD DRIVE, AND I AM VERY NEW TO PLANO. MY HUSBAND AND I MOVED HERE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, SO WE'RE JUST GETTING TO KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD. FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. ALL OF YOU. I AM THE FOUNDER OF BRAIN CHANGE 101, WHICH IS A PLANO-BASED ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES HANDS-ON TRAINING TO PEOPLE FACING THE CHALLENGES OF DEMENTIA AND CARE GIVING. MY HUSBAND, TODD MEYER, AND I ARE VERY EAGER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS CITY OF EXCELLENCE. I EMAILED A PDF TO ALL OF YOU THIS MORNING DETAILING MY BACKGROUND, AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN MORE THAN ONE. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY INTERNET, AND IT KEPT SENDING THE SAME EMAIL, SO THAT WAS A MISTAKE. I WOULD LIKE TO USE MY EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE TO BUILD UPON WHAT PLANO ALREADY DOES FOR DEMENTIA CARE PARTNERS. I HOPE YOU REVIEW THE DERLS AND FEEL MOTIVATED TO GUIDE ME AS TO THE BEST WAY TO TRAIN OUR COMMUNITY CAREGIVERS. I WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER RICIARDELLI WHO MET WITH ME LAST WEEK, AND HE RECOMMENDED THAT I COME HERE AND SPEAK TO ALL OF YOU. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US AT BRAIN CHANGE 101. OUR TRAINING SESSIONS PROVIDE CAREGIVERS, LOVED UNZ WITH, AND ANYONE THAT WANTS TO LEARN IMPORTANT PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS. WE USE THE ADULT EXPERIENCEAL LEARNING CYCLES, WHICH IS A FANCY WAY OF SAYING LEARNING BY DOING, PRACTICING, ROLE PLAYING. THESE SESSIONS INCREASE CAREGIVERS' CONFIDENCE, REDUCE CAREGIVER STRESS WITH EMPOWERING AN EFFECTIVE COMBINATION OF ALL THREE EDUCATION, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, AND -- A CAREGIVER WILL VE A MUCH ME MANAGEABLE EXPERIENCE. I BELIEVE THAT PLANO RESIDENTS AND EVEN PLANO STAFF WILL BEEFIT GREATLY FROM OUR SESSIONS, WHICH ARE FREE HAVE CHARGE AND ARE PROVIDED AS A SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. WRAN CHANGE, WE DON'T CHARGE. IT'S A NOT FOR PROFIT. FINALLY, MY HUSBAND JUST COMPLETED YOUR CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY, AND HE HOPES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CCAT PROGRAM. WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE AND ENERGIZED. JUST EAGER TO BE USEFUL TO THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> THANKS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS SHARON OVERALL. >> PER THE CDC, EVEN BRIEF EXPOSURE TO SECOND HAND SMOKE CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS. BREATHING SECOND HAND SMOKE INTERFERES WITH A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE HEART, BLOOD, AND VASCULAR SYSTEMS IN WAYS THAT INCREASE THE RISK OF HAVING A HEART ATTACK. EVEN BRIEF EXPOSURE TO SECOND HAND SMOKE CAN DAMAGE THE LINING OF BLOOD VESSELS AND CAUSE YOUR BLOOD PLATELETS TO BECOME STICKIER. THESE CHANGES CAN CAUSE A DEADLY HEARD ATTACK. 12 YEARS AGO I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. AS THEY PASSED THROUGH NORTH TEXAS FOR A FEW HOURS THEY WENT TO DINNER. AS SHE GOT HOME, SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE SHE HAD FEIGN I PAIN IN HER ARM AND TIGHTNESS IN HER CHEST. AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM THEY CHECKED HER OUT AND TOLD ME THAT SHE WASN'T HAVING A HEART ATTACK, BUT THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING ON. I TOLD THEOCTO THAT SHE HAD BEEN AT A CASINO WHERE SHE WAS EXPOSED TO SECOND HAND SMOKE JUST BEFORE SHE STARTED HAVING A PAIN IN HER CHEST AND ARM. SHE KIND OF DISMISSED IT, BUT EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON BLOOD VESSELS AT THE TIME, I KNEW THAT IT HAD TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. THEY MONITORED HER THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND KEPT HER OVERNIGHT FOR OBSERVANCE. SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY HEART CONDITION. YEARS LATER WHEN I CAME ACROSS IT ON THE CDC WEBSITE, I TOLD MY MOTHER SHE WAS RIGHT. THE NIGHT SHE MADE HER TAKE HER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS EXPOSED TO SECOND HAND SMOKE. NOW, IMAGINE IF SHE HAD A HEART CONDITION. SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK ON THE WAY HOME. THE CC WEBSITE GOES ON TO SAY PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE HEART DISEASE ARE AT ESPECIALLY HIGH RISK OF SUFFERING ADVERSE AFFECT FROM BREATHING SECOND HAND SMOKE AND SHOULD TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID EVEN BRIEF EXPOSURE. NOW, IMAGINE IF YOU HAVE A HEART CONDITION AND YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR COFFEE ON YOUR PATIO AND YOUR NEIGHBOR COMES OUTSIDE A STARTS TO SMOKE. AS THE SMOKE DRIFTS ACROSS YOUR PATIO, YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE TO GO INSIDE OR RISK HAVING A HEART ATTACK. WHOSE RIGHTS ARE BEING INFRINGED UPON NOW? THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THE LAST SPEAKER IS JAMES LOCKRIDGE. >> HEADLINE LOW, CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR. GUYS, IAVE TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER AND JACK CARR WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION. I KIND OF BACKED OFF A LITTLE BIT HOPING THAT THINGS WOULD CHANGE A LITTLE BIT. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S GOING TO CHANGE. THE CITY OF PLANO, MAYOR, WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE, YOU NEAT TO GET YOUR PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING ROGUE AND GET THEM TO STOP. THE HARASSMENT HAS GOT TO STOP. THE PASTURE NEXT DOOR TO MINE, SAME ORDEAL. SDOENT E DON'T JACK WITH ME. I'M A FARMER, A RANCHER. I WORK 15 TO 20 HOURS EVERY SINGLE DAY. I NEVER GET A DAY OFF. FOR YOUR CODE COMPLIANCE TO COME OUT THERE AND HARASS MY CROPS AND MY GRASS IS RIDICULOUS. FOR CODE XLOOINLTS COMPLIANCE TO SEND ME A LETTER THREATENING ME THAT IF I DON'T MOW MY EASEMENTS, RIGHT OF WAY 250 FEET OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, NOW THEY SEND A LETTER OUT WHERE THEY CHANGED THE WORDING TO MOW EASEMENT AND RIGHT OF WAYS AND SETBACK. NOT A PERIMETER. NOT A FOOT THIS TIME. THERE'S NOT A FOOT LIRNT ON THERE THIS TIME. THEY CHANGED THE WORDING TO EASEMENT, RIGHT OF WAY, AND BOUNDARIES. IN A MAKES ME MAD. WHO IS GOING TO SAY IN THE CITY THAT IF I MOW FOUR INCHES AND I CALL THAT AN EASEMENT, WHAT'S THE CITY OF PLANO GOING TO SAY? IF I CALL OVER THERE AND I SAY I'M GOING TO MOW FOUR SWATHS WITH A RIDING LAWN MOWER, IS PLANO GOING TO COME BACK WITH CODE COMPLIANCE AND SAY, NO, THAT DOESN'T MATCH OUR ORDINANCES? I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PLAYING GAMES. THE ROGUE CODE COMPLIANCE CHSTOPHER SMITH NEED TO BE FIRED. NOW THEY MOVED A LADY OVER THERE NAMED RAYANN. RAYANN MOWED MY CROP LAST YEAR. THE WHOLE DARN THING. PLANO HASN'T REIMBURSED ME FOR THAT YET. OKAY. OUT OF FWO YEARS OF FIGHTING WITH Y'ALL CITY, ENOUGH IS FINALLY ENOUGH, GUYS. I WANT SOME ACTION. OR I'M GOING TO HAVE EVERY DARN STATE REP I CAN GET SITTING DOWN HERE IN THIS CITY TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING HARASSED. GO PICK ON SOMEBODY ELSE. GO PICK ON THE BUMS LIVING IN MY FIELD THAT CAN'T GET THE CITY OF PLANO TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. GO PICK ON THE 7-ELEVEN AT THE CORNER OF PLANO PARKWAY AND GEORGE BUSH NORTH DALLAS WHERE THEY DON'T CLOSE THEIR DUMPSTERS AND THEIR TRASH BLOWS ALL OVER MY FIELDS. STOP PICKING ON ME. GO PICK ON SOMEBODY LEGIT THAT'S REALLY CAUSING A PROBLEM. NOT THE BLUE COLLAR HARD-WORKING FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN PLANO. PLEASE, DO SOMETHING TODAY OR I'M COMING BACK FULL FORCE WITH EVERYBODY.

OUR NEXT ITEM. >> ITEM NUMBER TWO. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2021-2022 ACTION PLAN TO AMEND THE CITY OF PLANO HOME OWNERSHIP VALUE LIMITS SET FOR USE IN LIEU OF THE LIMITS PROVIDED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WHEN USING HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM FUNDS AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS ITEM PUBLIC HEARING WAS CONDUCTED AND THIS ITEM WAS TABLED AT THE APRIL 11th, 2022, COUNCIL MEETING. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M SHANETTE EDEN, HOUSING SERVICES MANAGER. LISA JUST READ A LONG ITEM, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND START IN WITH THE FIRST LINE. HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP GRANT FUNDS ARE DESIGNED TO INCREASE HOMEOWNERSHIP AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW INCOME AND VERY LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. THE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES ARE SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN. -- FOR NON-LUKTSRY TYPES OF HOUSING THAT'S FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP AS WELL AS JUST ANY KIND OF ACQUISITION AND DEMOLITION, REHAB TO HELP AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS BEING BUILT HERE IN OUR CITY. OF COURSE, 15% OF HOME FUNDS HAVE TO BE SET ASIDE FOR OPERATING EXPENSES FOR COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION THAT ARE WITHIN THE COUNTIES COLLIN, DALLAS -- AND ROCKWALL ALL ABIDE BY THE CHART HERE. I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE RED THAT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED -- THAT HAS THE IT TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE CALL LOW INCOME PER HUD. HUD SAYS THAT A FAMILY OF FOUR MAKING $7 7,900 IS A HOUSEHOLD INCOME CONSIDERED LOW INCOME. ANYONE THAT MEETS 80% OR BELOW IS WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE OR BE RECIPIENTS OF HUD FUNDS OR BEINGS THAT REMEMBER CREATED THROUGH THE HUD HOME FUNDS. THE CHART HERE, I BELIEVE YOU ALL HAD IT IN A MEMO. MUCH MORE EASILY SEEN. IT SHOWS YOU THE MEDIAN SALES PRICES FROM OCTOBER 1st OF 2021 THROUGH DECEMBER 31st OF 2021. STAFF, WE BEGIN DISCUSSING THIS DATA WITH HUD IN JANUARY BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING TO THEM ABOUT HOW CAN WE INCREASE THE HOME, HOMEOWNERSHIP LIMIT. AT THE TIME AND TODAY IT'S 285,000. WHAT HUD SAID IS YOU HAVE TO USE THE PREVIOUS THREE MONTHS OF DATA, AND THEN T REGULATIONS STATE THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE 95% OF WHATEVER THE MEDIAN SALES PRICE WAS AT THAT TIME FOR THOSE THREE MONTHS. TAKE 95% OF THAT. THAT'S WHAT YOUR NEW HOME HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE IS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE CAN'T CREATE AN ARBITRARY NUMBER. WE HAVE TO USE THE DATA EVEN IF IT'S HIGHER. WE HAVE TO USE THAT DATA IN THE FORMULA THAT HUD HAS SET. THIS IS THE DATA THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. THREE MONTHS AGO, OCTOBER 1st, THAT YOU SEE HERE THROUGH DECEMBER 31st, THE MEDIAN HOME VALUE OF THE HOMES THAT WERE SOLD HERE IN PLANO WAS $440,000. 95% OF THAT IS $418,000, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY TRYING TO INCREASE THE HOME HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE LIMIT. I WILL TELL YOU THAT ON FRIDAY WE GOT AN EMAIL FROM HUD. HUD STATED THEY ARE INCREASING OUR HOME HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE LIMIT FROM THE CURRENT $285,000 TO $311,000 IN JUNE. THIS MORNING WE WIND WERNT INTO MLS TO SEE HOW MANY PROPERTIES EVEN MEET THIS THRESHOLD OF $311,000. HOW MANY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? THERE ARE 11 TOTAL. OF THOSE 11, SIX WERE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES. OF THOSE SIX TWO NEEDED SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS. THE OTHER FIVE WERE CONDOS. TYPICALLY HERE IN PLANO OUR HOMES, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE PRICED, THEY LISTED AS ONE PRICE. THEY TYPICALLY SELL FOR ABOUT 5% CONSERVATIVELY SPEAKG HIGHER THAN THEIR LISTING PRICE. 5% HIGHER THAN 311,000 IS 326,000. THAT WOULD MAKE THOSE PROPERTIES BE INELIGIBLE FOR ANYONE COMING THROUGH OUR FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO BUY. THAT IS WHY WE ARE STILL HERE TODAY IN FRONT OF YOU TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS. THE IMPACT OF CHANGING THE HOME HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE USING THE FORMULA THAT HUD HAS US TO USE IS THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY ALLOW OUR FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH OUR FIRST-TIME HOME BUYING PROGRAM TO RECEIVE NO MORE THAN 55% IN DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE TO ACTUALLY HAVE ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES. IT WILL GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO BUY A HOUSE HERE, AND NOT JUST A CHANCE TO BUY A HOUSE HERE, BUT ONE THEY CAN AFFORD. REMEMBER, THEY STILL HAVE TO QUALIFY AND GET A MORTGAGE. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW OUR NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS TO ACQUIRE DEVELOPMENTS TO SELL LAND PRICED WITHIN THIS PRICE RANGE. STILL, TOO, THAT HOME BUYING FAMILY THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT, THAT FAMILY OF FOUR MAKING THAT $77,900. I AMERE AVAILLE FOR QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR THAT GREAT PRESENTATION. I JUST WANTED MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY BECAUSE IN THE MEMO IT WENT THROUGH THIS ASSISTANCE PROBABLY E PROBABLY WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR A HOUSE THAT COSTS MORE THAN $354,000. YOU'RE SAYING THAT IF I'M UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY, THE HUD REGULATIO REQRE THAT WE -- WHATEVER THE MEDIAN WAS, WHICH WAS 440, WE HAVE TO -- IF WE WANT TO RESET THE THRESHOLD AT ALL, WE HAVE TO USE 95% OF THAT SO WE CAN'T PICK 354,000 AS THE NUMBER. IT HAS TO BE 418. THAT'S CORRECT. >> EVEN IF WE DO THIS, WE'RE NOT >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SUBSIDYIZING THE PURCHASE OF A $418,000 HOME. BARRING A VERY LARGE FANL SIZE OOSH SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT WOULD MAYBE IMPT THE FORMULAS. >> IT WILL BY NATURE OF THE MORTGAGE PROCESS. YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND BE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR A MORTGAGE. WITH A FAMILY MAKING $77,900 A YEAR, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO QUALIFY. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT DEBT TO INCOME RATIOS FOR OUR OWN PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE, IT WOULD -- THE MATH DOESN'T WORK OUT. THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLEO BUY A HOUSE FOR THAT MUCH. >> GOTCHA. WELL, AND THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW BECAUSE I THINK MY OBJECTIVE AT LEAST IS I WANT THE FUNDS TO GO TO THOSE THAT MOST NEED THEM AND NOT NECESSARILY TO THOSE PURCHASING A HOUSE AT A HIGHER PRICE POINT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OTHER FORMULAS ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THE MATH CORRECTLY, WHAT WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT I PUTTING MORE HOUSING STOCK INTO THE ELIGIBILITY CATEGORY, BUT IT IS NOT PROVIDING ANY ADDITIONAL OR GRART AMOUNT OF FUNDS COMING TO THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO BE USED IN THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS. >> YOU ARE CORRECT. SO THE FUNDS THAT WE'RE RECEIVING NOW ARE PRETTY MUCH THE FUNDS WE'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING THAT WOULDN'T AMPLIFY THE CASH THAT WE WOULD HAVE FOR ADDITIONAL PROJECTS. >> IT WOULD NOT. THE ONLY WAY WE COULD AMPLIFY IS IF HUD DECIDED GIVE US MORE MONEY TO PROVIDE OUT TO L INCOME RESIDENTS. >> MY CONCERN HAS ALWAYS BEEN USING THE FUNDS FOR A SINGLE PROJECT BECAUSE THE COST OF THE PROJECTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER. THE HOME IS MORE EXPENSIVE, THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE NEED OR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE HOME IS MORE EXPENSIVE. WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO DO A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE OF THOSE IS WE PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER VALUE OF THE HOME ONCE THE PROJECT IS DONE, WHICH THEN, OF COURSE, AMIFIES ITSELF INTO THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD SAY THERE'S A HOUSING STOCK THAT'S MORE OF A NEED THAN A $350,000 HOME. THUS, IF WE HAD SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO WITH THE FUNDS TO IMPROVE HOMES THAT WERE IN THE 200,000 RANGE SXWH WE HAVE SOME THAT WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON, THAT WE DON'T FIND A PROJECT THAT'S A $354,000 HOME AND JUST BECAUSE IT'S THERE, WE'RE GOING TO PUT ANOTHER 50 TO IT AND PRODUCE A $400,000 PROJECT. THAT'S NOT A QUESTION. IT IS A CONCERN THAT I WANTED TO RAISE. THANK YOU. YOUR CONCERN IS DUALLY NOTED. OUR NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS HAVE HAD A VERY HARD TIME FINDING ANY PROPERTIES IN PLANO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD TO BUY. AS STATED IN THE MEMO, THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION WILL ALLOCATE THEM FUNDING THROUGH THE GRANT PROCESS, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY CAN'T FIND A PROPERTY. YOUR CONCERN IS DUALLY NOTED. I WANT TO SAY TO YOU THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. >> HELP ME UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT. YOU ALREADY CLARIFID ONE THING THAT I WAS GOING TO BRING UP. WE INCREASE $18,000. WITH THE INCOME LEVELS THERE, NO ONE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR $418,000 HOME WITH A 5% DN PAYMENT AND MAKING $77,000 A YEAR. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU ALREADY MENTIONED THAT. IF THE $418,000 VALUE DOESN'T GET US ANY MORE MONEY TO HELP PEOPLE PURCHASE THESE HOMES OR REHAB HOMES OR WHATEVER, WHY ARE WE DOING? I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT. >> BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO NOW HAVE MORE ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES. RIGHT NOW WITH THE LIMIT AS IT IS, THERE ARE NO ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES. A LOT OF TIMES WHENEOPL ARE BUYING HOMES, THEY'RE GOING TO COMPETE WITH EVERYBODY ELTS. THE HOUSE IS LISTED AT MARKET PRICE OR THE LAND IS LISTED WHERE, WITH IT BEING SO LOW, THE PROPERTIES DON'T EXIST. LET ME ASK AGAIN. I'M JUST A SIMPLE PERSON. AGAIN, I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. IT'S GOING TO CREATE MORE HOMES, SURE. YOU ARE GOING FROM APPROXIMATE 354 ELIGIBLE. IF ONE CAN'T AFFORD THEM THAT WOULD BE QUALIFIED FOR THIS PROGRAM, WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO? UNLESS WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THIS AND BRINGING IN DEVELOPERS TO -- THAT WOULD PURCHASE THESE PROPERTIES PERHAPS AND THEN PROVIDE THEM AS RENTALS TO ELIGIBLE HOMEOWNERS OR -- I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE HOW THIS IS GOING TO HELP PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED A PROGRAM LIKE THIS. I DON'T SEE HOW WE'RE HELPING THEM. >> IF IS IT DOESN'T INCREASE TO 418, THEY COULDN'T EVEN BUY A $300,000 HOUSE. >> RIGHT. >> SO INCREASING IT -- I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THE STK. HOW IS INCREASING THE STOCK GOING TO HELP? WHAT ALLOWS THEM TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY HERE IN PLANO. IT'S NOT GIVING THEM MORE MONEY FOR ASSISTANCE, IN ESSENCE. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING. IF THERE'S NO PROPERTIES THAT THEY CAN EVEN AFFORD TO BUY, THEN WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT IS NOT HELPING, AND THAT IS FLAT. >> RIGHT. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE HELPING THEM BECAUSE IF THE GOAL IS TO GET SOMEONE INTO A HOME, IT HAS TO BE A HOME THAT EY C -- ON THEY CAN AFFORD AND QUALIFY FOR. NUMBER TWO, THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT ON AN ONGOING BASIS, WHICH GETS BACK TO YOUR WHOLE DEBT RATIO, SO FORTH. I DON'T SEE THAT UNLESS -- AGAIN, MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD. THE 55% OF FUNDS, WAS THAT A 55% AVAILABILITY OF THE DOWN PAYMENT REQUIRED OR 55% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE? >> OKAY. IT'S NOT A PERCENT. THE CITY OF PLANO HAS A FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM WHERE WE GIVE HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE INCOME-ELIGIBLE UP TO $55,000 TO PURCHASE. >> I HEARD PERCENT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE -- >> NO. I APOLOGIZE. NO. IT'S 55,000 TO PURCHASE THE HOUSE. THE CONCERN IS THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN OUR PROGRAM THAT ARE UNABLE TO BUY ANY HOUSE WITHIN THE RANGE THAT EVEN THEY COULD GET A MORTGAGE FOR BECAUSE HUD HAS OUR HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE LIMIT AT 285. >> GOTCHA. >> WE DON'T EXPECT SOMEBODY TO BUY A$418,000 HOUSE. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFUNDRAISER ON IT. HOWEVER, THAT HOUSEHOLD THAT I TALKED ABOUT, THAT FOUR-PERSON HOUSEHOLD, THEY CAN'T AFORT A HOUSE THAT'S ANYWHERE FROM $325,000 TO $350,000. IF THEY CAN AFFORD AND THEIR DEBT TO INCOME RATIOS ARE WITHIN OUR STANDARDS, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THAT HOUSE. IF THIS IS NOT APPROVED TONIGHT, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THAT HOUSE. DOES THAT HELP? >> GOCH WRA. THE WHOLE THING IS WE'RE STILL NOT RECEIVING BY -- WE'RE NOT RECEIVING ANY ADDITIONAL HUD, ADDITIONAL FERALONEY TO HELP WITH THIS PROGRAM. WEAR JUST DOING IT WITH THE HOPE THAT IT'S GOING TO CREATE A LARGER STOCK OF HOENLZ TO BE ABLE TO BE PURCHASED. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE? >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HEARD A COUPLE OF TIMES HERE IS INCREASING THE VALUE OF THE HOME THAT THEY COULD QUALIFY FOR TO 418, BUT IT CREATES A CONFLICT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T QUALIFY FOR 418. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, WHY INCREASE IT TO A LEVEL THEY CAN'T AFFORD WAS THE COUNCIL QUESTION, AND WHAT I HAVE HEARD IS IT INCREASES THE VALUE OF THE POOL, BUT IF THEY STILL CAN'T ACCESS THAT PIECE OF THE POOL, WHY ARE WE INCREASING IT? IF YOU COULD MAYBE DEMONSTRATION THE ASPECT OF IS THE 418 THE NUMBER -- WHY 41? WHY IS THAT NUMBER 418? IS THAT A CHOICE VERSUS -- IT'S A REGULATORY ISSUE. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. THIS IS A HUD REGULATION. HUD SAID YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PAST THREE MONTHS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PAST THREE MONTHS, TAKE THAT MEDIAN SALES PRICE, AND WE HAD TO SHOW THEM ALL OF THI DATA, ADDRESSES INCLUDED. YOU CAN ONLY USE 95%. THAT'S IT. THERE'S NO WIGGLE ROOM WITH HUD. THEIR FORMULA IS THEIR FORMULA. I AGREE WITH -- I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, BUT THIS IS JUST THEIR FORMULA. IF WE COULD CHANGE THEIR FORMULA, THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT, BUT THAT'S -- >> I THINK YOU MADE IT A LITTLE MORE CLEAR NOW. WE'RE NOT DOING THIS ON OUR OWN BECAUSE WE THINK, OH, THIS IS GREAT, AND WE HAVE TO DO 95%. WE'RE DOING IT BECAUSE HUD SAYS YOU HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE THAT'S THE 95% NUMBER. THE REALITY IS IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO CREATE A LARGE -- OF AFFORDABLE HOMES. WE'RE DOING IT SO WE CAN CONTINUE IN THE PROGRAM. >> YOU GOT IT. THAT'S THE ANSWER. >> THAT'S IT. I'M SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG, AND I THANK MY CITY MANAGER FOR HELPING ME. THANK YOU, SIR. >> THAT'S WHY HE IS HERE. THAT IS WHY HE IS HERE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. MAYBE I'M CONFLATING TWO DIFFERENT NUMBERS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE HUD FORMULA OF 95% MEANS A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT. LIKE THE PAST THREE MONTHS OF HOME SALE DATA, WE CAN'T SET THE NEW VALUE HIGHER THAN 95% OF THREE MONTHS WORTH OF SALES. WHY COULD WE NOT SET IT LOWER? >> BECAUSE THE HUD REGULATION. IT ACTUALLY READS THAT THE HUD -- THAT THE HOME HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE IS EQUAL TO 95% OF THE MEDIAN SALES PRICE FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. IT'S WRITTEN THAT WAY IN THE REGULATIONS. IT'S NOT A DO NOT -- IT'S NOT A NOT TO EXCEED. IT'S THIS IS HOW YOU CALCULATE THAT VALUE, AND THAT' IT. WE DON'T HAVE WIGGLE ROOM IN REGARDS TO CHANGING THE REGULATION. THAT'S IN PARAGRAPH TWO UNDER BACKGROUND. >> IT IS A TRUE HUD REGULATION THAT SAYS JUST THAT. SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE AGENDA. IT SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID 95%, BUT THERE IS NO NOT TO EXCEED. WE HAVE AN EMAIL FROM OUR HUD REP WHO LITTED REALLY SENT US THE REGULATIONS, AGAIN, SAYING THIS IS THE REGULATION. THIS IS THE FORMULA, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU ALL ARE ALLOWED TO USE. NOTHING ELSE. >> LIKE THAT EXACT NUMBER, NO MORE, NO LESS. >> 95%. THE REGULATIONS DON'T STATE A MAXIMUM OR AN AMOUNT NOT TO COMPETE. THEY DON'T DO THAT. THE REGULATIONS FLAT OUT SAY 95%. THAT'S IT. >> OKAY. >> THERE'S STILL WIGGLE ROOM. THEN I GUESS I'M CONFUSED ABOUT A WHO OTHER AREA IF WE DID NOT INCREASE THIS TONIGHT, THEN IT DOESN'T -- THEN WE DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER REQUIRED BY HUD IF I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, AND WE WOULDN'T BE EXPANDING A POOL OF PROPERTIES. WE WOULD BE ELIMINATING IF WE'RE NOT SETTING OUR MAX VALUE TO THE PRECISE NUMBER THAT HUD REQUIRES. SO RIGHT NOW THE WAY HUD GOT TO THE 285 IS THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH METROPLEX'S NUMBERS. THEY HAVE THEIR FORMULA. THEY LOOKED AT THEIR DATA REGARDING WHAT THE 95% IS. WISH TONIGHT SAYING TO HUD OUR 95% OF MEDIAN SALES PRICE IS NOT THE SAME AS DALLAS COUNTY, ELLIS COUNTY, KAUFMAN COUNTY. IT'S NOT THE SAME. THIS IS THE DATA THAT PROVES IT'S NOT THE SAME, SO YOUR REGULATIONS STATE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE 95% OF WHATEVER OUR MEDIAN PRICE OF HOMES SOLD FOR THE PREVIOUS THREE MONTHS IS AND WE HAVE TO THEN TAKE THAT NUMBER, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE. >> I THINK I'VE GOT IT NOW. HOMESTRETCH. >> I'M SORRY. >> WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY DETERMINING A NEW CEILING FOR VALUES. WE'RE JUST UPDATING OUR ACTION PLAN TO REFLECT WHAT 95% OF PLANO'S VALUES ARE. >> YOU JUST SAID IT. I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT BETTER TOO. HOW ABOUT THAT? THANK YOU. >> I THINK I'M GOOD. >> SORRY. COUNCILMEMBER. I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE VERY POPULAR. I DO BELIEVE WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN PLANO DESPERATELY. ALTHOUGH IT'S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE BEING SOMEONE THAT IS AT THAT INCOME LEVEL AND HAS BEEN SAVING UP MY MONEY AND THERE'S SUCH A SHORT -- SMALL INVENTORY ALREADY OF HOMES IN PLAN JOE TO GET THE ADVANTAGE TO SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM THOSE DOLLARS. I'M LOOKING AT THE CHART THAT SHOWS HOW MANY HOUSEHOLDS WE'VE HELPED WITH FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAMS. AS A COUNCIL PERSON NOW I'M WEARING A DIFFERENT HAT, AND I'M THINKING IF THERE'S SUCH SHORT INVENTORY ALREADY IN PLANO AND IT'S BEING BOUGHT AT A HIGHER RATE ALREADY, IS IT FAIR TO FIRST TIME HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE SAVED UP A DOWN PAYMENT TO TAKE -- TO CPETE I SEE THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REHABILITATE A LOT MORE UNITS OVER THE YEARS AND USE A LOT OF HUD DOLLARS FOR THAT. OBVIOUSLY, THOSE ARE PROBABLY HOMES THAT ARE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE THAT THE AVERAGE HOME BUYER DOESN'T WANT TO BUY OR REHABILITATE AND SO YOU THINK THAT COULD BE PROVIDING A GREAT SERVICE TO KEEP OUR HOMES UPDATEDED AND REHABILITATED. I HAVEN'T COMPLETELY THOUGHT THIS THROUGH. I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND UNAPPRECIATIVE. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT PLANO HAS A PROGRAM LIKE THIS, BUT I AO DON'T WANT TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS THAT HAVE SAVED UP THEIR $55,000 FOR A DOWN PAYMENT ARE COMPETING WITH OTHERS WHO ARE WINNING THE LOTTERY ESSENTIALLY. I WELCOME MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS' COMMENTS ON THAT. IS THERE SOMETHING I'M MISSING? SOMEONE WITH A SOCIAL WORK DEGREE? I'M VERY MUCH IF FAVOR HAVE HELPING THOSE IN NEED AND PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT I'M JUST NOT SURE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE WHAT ALL THE CITIZENS WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF. ANY FEEDBACKOULDE APPRECIATED FROM COUNCIL. >> DEPUTY MAYOR. >> SO, ALL RIGHT, I HAVE TWO KIDS AND A SPOUSE. MY TOTAL FAMILY INCOME IS ABOUT $75,000. I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S MAKING MONEY IN THE HOUSE. MY HUSBAND IS SICK, AND MY TWO KIDS ARE STILL IN SCHOOL. THAT WOULDIC MA ME QUALIFY FOR POTENTIALLY FOR THE HUD GRANT? >> YES. >> OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE OTHER ELIGIBILITY THAT I HAVE TO MEET. I HAVE TO MAKE THE APPLICATION. THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER FAMILY. ALSO A FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER, AND THEY'RE MAKING AND PERHAPS IT'S JUST A HUSBAND AND WIFE, AND THEY'RE ABLE TO MAKE MAYBE $100,000 A YEAR, AND THEY ARE ALSO FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS. BOTH OF THEM ARE MAKING THEIR FIRST TIME HOME BUYING, WHEREAS ONE PERSON MAY NOT NEED THE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE KIDS THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF. THEY MAY HAVE DOUBLE INCOME, AND THEY MAY BE POTENTIALLY ABLE TO GROW THEIR INCOME BECAUSE THERE MAY BE -- THEIR INCOME IS GROWING VERSUS A FAMILY WHERE THERE ARE SOME NECESSITY NEEDS WHERE THEY CANNOT GROW THEIR INCOME. WOULD THAT BE THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO FAMILIES WHEREAS WHY HUD WOULD SUPPORT AND AID THIS FAMILY WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR VERSUS A FAMILY OF TWO. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? MA >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL REAL QUICK. THE AGENDA IS TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSING VALUES AND ADJUSTING BASED ON THE CURRENT REAL ESTATE MARKET TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COMPLIANT WITH THE HUD PROGRAM AND EXPANDING THAT. IT'S NOT -- IT'S LIMITED TO REALLY THAT HOUSING VALUE ADJUSTMENT. THE PROGRAM ITSELF, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FROM AN AGENDIZED POSITION THAT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED IN ON THAT HOUSING VALUE DISCUSSION BECAUSE THE PROGRAM ITSELF AND BROADENING INTO -- I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OVER WHAT THE CRITICAL TOPIC IS, WHICH IS WITH THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AS WE HAVE IT RIGHT NOW FOR PLANO KIND OF BREAKING A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM THE DALLAS AREA THAT HUD HAS ADVISE THE, THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO UPDATE OUR NUMBER FOR THAT. THAT'S THE CHOICE BEFORE THE COUNCIL TONIGHT BASED ON THE AGENDA. IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES, SIR. YEAH. >> GO AHEAD. >> THE UP TO 55,000 THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS ALL OF THAT EXCLUSIVELY HUD MONEY, OR DOES THE CITY APPROPRIATE MONEY TOWARDS THAT? >> EXCLUSIVELY HUD MONEY. >> THANK YOU. WE HAVE A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE BASIC ILY TO MAKE SURE THE VALUE HERE IN PLANO IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STOCK, IT REALLY ALL WE'RE ASKING. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION. >> I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION. >> PLEASE. >> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO AUTHORIZE A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE ACTION PLAN AND THE HOMEOWNERSHIP VALUE LIMITS. OKAY? CLEAR AS MUD. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH US. WE'LL GO BACK TO ITEM THREE AND THE PRELIMINARY OPEN MEETING. IT WAS NEW BUSINESS. IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED WE COME BACK. I'LL LET YOU GO AHEAD. >> YES, MAR. TAED, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE TIME TO HAVE A LITTLE MORROW BUST DISCUSSION. WE WOULD LIKE TO TABLE THESE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. >> I'LL SECOND THAT. ♪
