A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPOINT ED ACKLIN WITH TWO VACANCIES. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. ITEM III, PARKS, RECREATION, TRAILS, OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN BRIEFING. DR. RON SMITH >> GOOD EVENING, I'M RON SMITH, YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. LATER TONIGHT YOU'LL BE CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING THE UPDATED PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. TONIGHT WE HAVE OUR CONSULTANT FROM HALF AND ASSOCIATES, MS. KENDALL HOWARD. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS IN T THESE UPDATES. WE'D LIKE TO TURN THE MICROPHONE OVER TO HER, AND WE WILL HAVE STAFF AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. THERE WE GO. SO TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT THE OVERVIEW OF THE PARKS, RECREATION, TRAILS, AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN UPDATE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF FOR THE PAST YEAR. AND SO THE CURRENT PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2018, AND IT IS USED TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF PARKS, TRAILS, AND RECREATION FACILITIES WITHIN PLANO. AND SO THIS IS A FIVE-YEAR UPDATE TO THAT 2018 MASTER PLAN. AND THE PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO UPDATE THE OVERALL PLAN BUT THEN ALSO THERE ARE RELATED COMPONENTS, PRIMARILY MAP ELEMENTS, THAT ARE ALSO INTEGRATED INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT INCLUDES THE PARK MASTER PLAN MAP AND BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION MAP. SO THE PLAN INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS COMPRISED OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING PARKS IN OPEN SPACE, ATHLETICS, TRAILS AND BIKE WAYS AND INDOOR RECREATION AND AQUATICS. THE PLAN IS UPDATED EVERY FEW YEARS. AND HAVING AN UPDATED PLAN IS IMPORTANT, BOTH FOR ACCREDITATION PURPOSES THROUGH CAPRA, AS WELL AS TO BE ELIGIBLE AND RECEIVE FUNDING THROUGH VARIOUS STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES FOR PARK IMPROVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT. AND AT ITS CORE, IT'S A LONG-TERM ACTION PLAN. AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S NOT A FUNDING DOCUMENT. THIS IS JUST IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS AND THE VISION FOR MOVING FORWARD. IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL THE ACTIONS THAT ARE FOUND WITHIN THE PARK SYSTEM PLAN ARE MADE WITH COUNCIL APPROVAL AND THEN FUNDED THROUGH VOTER-APPROVED BONDS. SO JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OUTREACH, WE DID A STATISTICALLY VALID SURVEY, MAILED TO A RANDOM SAMPLING OF HOUSEHOLDS WITHIN THE CITY. WE MADE THE SAME QUESTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. WE ALSO HAD VIRTUAL ENGAGEMENT RUNS, SO THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT A WEBSITE AND NAVIGATE THROUGH A ROOM, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WOULD FIND IN A PUBLIC MEETING. SO WE HAD TWO VIRTUAL ENGAGEMENT ROOMS. WE ALSO USED THE EXISTING PARKS AND RECREATION PLANNING BOARD TO SERVE AS A SOUNDING BOARD THUGHO. AND WE MET WITH THEM FIV THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. WE USE VARIOUS METHODS TO PROVIDE UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS, INCLUDING THE PARKS AND REC WEBSITE, DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, PRIOR PLAN PARTICIPANTS, RECREATION MEMBERS, ET CETERA. SO WE DO A LOT OF ANALYSIS AS PART OF THIS MASTER PLAN PROCESS, ONE OF WHICH IS LOOKING AT ACCESSIBILITY TO PARK LAND. SO WITHIN THE PARKS AND RECREATION INDURY, THERE IS A STANDARD OF WANTING TO HAVE EVERY RESIDENT WITHIN A TEN-MINUTE WALK TO A PARK. AND SO TODAY, ABOUT 80% OF RESIDENTS WITHIN PLANO ARE WITHIN A TEN-MINUTE WALK TO A PARK. AND THAT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF ABOUT 60%. SO WE LOOK AT ACCESSIBILITY IN TERMS OF ACCESSING PARKS, AND THEN ALSO A PER CAPITA FIGURE. SO TODAY PLANO'S PROVIDING ABOUT 14.4 ACRES FOR EVERY 1,000 RESIDENTS, WHICH IS ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, BUT IT FALLS JUST SHORT OF THE CITY'S GOAL, LONG-STANDING GOAL, OF 15 ACRES PER 1,000. AND THE IMAGE ON THE SCREEN THERE SHOWS THE SERVICE, GENERAL SERVICE AREA FOR ALL OF THE EXISTING PARKS. AND SO THAT'S WHAT OUR SERVICE AREA LOOKS LIKE TODAY. AND HERE IS THE DRAFT MAP. AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PLACE AN UPDATE HERE AND ASK YOU TO PASS THESE OUT. SO I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THE CORE MAP COMPONENTS OF THIS PLAN UPDATE ARE THE PARK MASTER PLAN MAP AND THEN THE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MAP. AND THERE'S JUST A FEW UPDATES THAT WERE NEEDED TO ADDRESS CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THOSE TWO MAPS. SO THE PARK MASTER PLAN MAP THAT'S BEING HANDED OUT ADDRESSES SOME AGREEMENT ISSUES BETWEEN BOTH OF THE MAPS. AND SO THE MAPS PROVIDED IN YOUR HANDOUT SUPERSEDE THE MAPS IN THIS PRESENTATION, AND THE CORRECTED MAPS WILL BE REPLACED IN THE FINAL PARKS MASTER PLAN DOCUMENT. BUT ESSENTIALLY THIS MAP IS SHOWING ALL OF THE EXISTING PARK LAND. AND THEN THE PROPOSED PARK LAND AS WELL. IT ALSO SHOWS TRAILS NOT ON PARK LAND. SO THAT REALLY GIVES YOU A GOOD SENSE OF EXISTING CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES, AS WELL AS PLANNED CONNECTIVITY. AND THEN THI JUST HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE TO THE PARK MASTER PLAN MAP SINCE THE PREVIOUS VERSION THAT WAS ADOPTED WITH THE 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SOME OF THE PROPOSED PARK ADDITIONS ARE RELATED TO RECENT AND ONGOING DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS TRYING TO FILL IN SOME OF THE GAPS IN THE SERVICE AREAS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. SO THIS OVERLAY JUST SHOWS WHERE THERE'S EXISTING COVERAGE IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO PARKS AND WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO FILL IN SOME OF THOSE GAPS WITH THESE PROPOSED ADDITIONS OF PARK LAND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. SO IN ADDITION TO THE PARK MASTER PLAN MAP, WE ALSO HAVE THE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION MAP. SO THIS WILL ALSO GET INCORPORATED INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND SO THIS SHOWS ALL OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TRAILS AND ON-STREET BIKE WAYS. SO THIS MAP SHOWS SOME OF THE UPDATES THAT HAVE EN MADE SINCE 2018 IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEEN CONSTRUCTED, AS WELL AS WHAT'S PLANNED WITH CONNECTING TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS CONNECTING -- FILLING IN STRATEGIC GAPS IN EXISTING TRAIL NETWORKS. AND THEN THIS SLIDE JUST HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, AGAIN, SINCE THAT 2021 PLAN VERSION. I MENTIONED THERE'S LOTS OF ADDITIONAL CONNECTIVITY TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS FILLING IN GAPS AND ADDRESSING WHAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN THESE PAST FEW YEARS. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU, MAYOR. I DID WONDER -- SO YOU SAID 80% OF PLANO IS WITHIN A TEN-MINUTE WALK OF A PARK, WHICH IS FANTASTIC. I WAS WONDERING IF WE KNOW THAT NUMBER, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PLANO'S POPULATON, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, A LOT OF AREAS THAT ARE NO OF THE CITY, YOU KNOW, LIKE NEAR THE LEGACY BUSINESS PARK AREA WHERE THERE ARE NOT NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, VERY MANY RESIDENTS. AND SO DO YOU THINK THAT NUMBER MIGHT EVEN BE HIGHER IF WE JUST LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF WHAT PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS ARE WITHIN A TEN-MINUTE WALK OF A PARK? >> SO IT DOES LOOK AT ACTUAL RESIDENT -- >> Ricciardelli: OH, I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT NUMBER, I'M SORRY. IT'S STILL A GREAT NUMBER. >> YEAH, AND YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT THAT A LOT OF THE AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY OUTSIDE OF THE TEN-MINUTE WALK TO A PARK HAVE TRADITIONALLY NOT BEEN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. SO THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS EAST OF DOWNTOWN AND THE BUSINESS PARK AREAS IN THE NORTHWESTERN PARK. BUT 80% IS A GREAT NUMBER THAT NO MANY COMMUNITIES ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE. >> Ricciardelli: FOR SURE. THAT'S FANTASTIC. THANK YOU ALL FOR ACHIEVING THAT TREMENDOUS NUMBER. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: NEXT ITEM IS DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION, LEGACY BUSINESS PARK SENTIMENT SURVEY. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, WE ARE AWARE OF A ZONING CASE THAT CAME THROUGH WITH THE FORMER EDS CAMPUS, AND WE'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY A NUMBER OF DEVELOPERS ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF CORPORATE CAMPUSES INTO -- OR REDEVELOPMENT OF SOME OF THE CORPORATE CAMPUSES. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE IS THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS OUT IN THE LEGACY BUSINESS PARK RIGHT NOW. AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT AND SURVEY LANDOWNERS, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE DEVELOPERS OUT IN THE AREA TONDERSTAND BETTER WHA THEY'RE O IN THE BUSINESS PARK. AND UNDERSTAND FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE, WHAT WOULD MAKE FOR SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS. NOW, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT HAS IMPLICATIONS, SO WE'D LIKE TO DO A SENTIMENT SURVEY TO HEAR WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR, BE ABLE TO BRING THAT BACK FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER WHETHER YOU DO WANT TO TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS. WE THINK THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL TO BE ABLE TO GATHER THAT IN A SUMMARIZED FORM FOR COUNCIL THEN TO LOOK AT, CONSIDER, AND THEN POSSIBLY LOOK AT WHAT FUTURE STEPS YOU WOULD WANT TO TA. >> Mayor Muns: SOUNDS GOOD. >> ANY CONCERNS? >> Mayor Muns: NEXT ITEM IS CONSIDERATION OF 2024 COUNCIL MEETING DATE AND AMEND NOVEMBER OF 2023 MEETING DATES. MARK? >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE ARE GOING TO BE HEADING TO EMMETTSBURG, MARYLAND TO DO SOME FEMA TRAINING AS A COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY. WE'LL BE INVITING SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO GO WITH US. THIS IS IMPORTANT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND SHOWS SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUITE A FEW TABLETOP AND TEAM EXERCISES FOR SITUATIONS THAT REQUIRE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. IN ORDER TO DO SO, WE'VE BEEN APPLYING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE WERE ASSIGNED A TIMEFRAME THAT WOULD IMPACT THAT FIRST MEETING IN NOVEMBER, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO ADJUST THE SCHEDULE TO TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7th, AS THE MEETING DATE. ADDITIONALLY, THE MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 2024 IS IN THERE. WE THINK THIS WOULD WORK FOR THE CALENDARS. >> I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND. I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN THAT DATE. >> OKAY. I'LL BE HERE. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. >> Mayor Muns: OKAY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Mayor Muns: ITEM VI, CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDAS. ANY ITEM SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE A CONSENT AGENDA? >> Ricciardelli: ITEM AB. I'LL BE RECUSING MYSELF. AB, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT. >> Mayor Muns: YOU'RE JUST RECUSING YOURSELF. >> Ricciardelli: YES, INDEED. >> Williams: I'D LIKE TO PULL ITEMS AD, AE, AND AF FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. >> Mayor Muns: SAY IT ONE MORE TIME. >> Williams: AE, D, AND F. FOR SINGLE DISCUSSION, IF THAT HELPS. >> Mayor Muns: GOT IT, ALL RIGHT. ANY ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION FOR FUTURE AGENDAS? OKAY. LOOK AT THAT. LOOKT US. WE'LL TAKE A RECESS AND RETURN AT 7:00. >> Mayor Muns: I NOW DECLARE THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL IS RECONVENED IN OPEN SESSION, THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT. WE WILL BEGIN TONIGHT'S REGULAR MEETING WITH THE INVOCATION READ BY RABBI BLOCK WITH CHABAD PLANO COLLIN COUNTY AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND TEXAS PLEDGE LED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS. WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE STAND? >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY. THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY MANAGER, COUNCILMEMBERS, AND EMPLOYEES FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT AND WORK ON BEHALF OF THIS CITY. THANK YOU TO THE CITIZENS THAT ARE HERE TODAY, WHO HAVE COME HERE TO SHARE THEIR VOICE AND PARTICIPATE IN TODAY'S MEETING. IN A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, NOT EVERYONE AGREES ON EVERYTHING, AND WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE MIGHT BE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU A TEACHING WRITTEN BY THE JEWISH AGES 2,000 YEARS AGO. I QUOTE, ANY DISPUTE THAT IS FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN IS DESTINED TO ENDURE. ONE THAT IS NOT FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN IS NOT DESTINED TO ENDURE. WHEN WE DISAGREE AND ARGUE, BUT IT IS FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN, IT IS AN ARGUMENT ON HOW TO MAKE OUR PORTION OF THIS WORLD A BETTER, SAFER, AND MORE GODLY PLACE, THEN THIS IS AN ARGUMENT THAT WILL LEAD TO RESULTS. IF, HOWEVER, WE ARGUE ONLY TO PROTECT OUR EGO AND ONLY DISAGREE TO FURTHER OUR OWN CAREER AND BITION, THEN THIS IS AN ARGUMENT NOT FOR THE SAKE OF HEAVEN, WHICH WILL NOT BRING US TO RESOLUTIONS AND RESULTS. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, I PRAY THAT YOU GIVE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO OUR CITY LEADERS AND FILL THEM WITH HUMILITY, THAT THEIR MEETINGS AND DECISIONS WILL YIELD RESULTS THAT ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PLANO CITIZENS AND FOR THE SANCTIFICATION OF YOUR NAME. MASTER OF THE WORLD, PLEASE KEEP ALL OF PLANO SAFE AND HEALTHY, AND LET THERE BE FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE BETWEEN ITS PEOPLE. TO CONCLUDE WITH A WELL-KNOWN SHORT HEBREW PRAYER, (SPEAKING NONENGLISH LANGUAGE). HE WHO MAKES PEACE ON HIGH, MAY HE BRING PEACE UPON ALL OF US AND LET US SAY AMEN. >> AMEN. >> PLEASE JOIN ME IN PLEDGING TO THE UNITED STATES AND TEXAS. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. BE SEATED. SO TONIGHT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ A PROCLAMATION. JULY 26th, 2023 IS THE 33rd ANNIVERSAR OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD CALEB THORNHILL, WHO IS DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND ANDREA PARK, ENGINEERING COMPLIANCE MANAGER AND ADA COORDINATOR.

BUSH, IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A COMPREHENSIVE AND CLEAR PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY. WHEREAS THE CITY OF PLANO REAFFIRMS ITS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE INCLUSIVE ACCESS TO POLICIES PROGRAMS COMMUNICATIONS, AND FACILITIES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS. IN RECENT YEARS THE CITY HAS INVESTED NEARLY $20 MILLION ON NEW AND EXISTING PROJECTS TO IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY IN PLANO IN THE WAY OF SUBSTANTIAL ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR TRAILS, SIDEWALKS, AND RAMPS, PLAYGROUNDS, PROGRAMS, AND CLOSED CAPTIONING SERVICES.

THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: YOU BET. THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANKS, GUYS. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE VERY PROUD OF. AND I CERTAINLY AM VERY PROUD TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS HONOR TO THOSE THAT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. THE TOM MUEHLENBECK RECREATION STAFF MEMBERS ARE BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THE RESCUE EFFORTS. I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD TIMOTHY SUTHERLAND, OWEN McSPADDEN, AMIR HINDAUI, ETHAN LEE, BRIANNA COLEMAN, MIRELA ODELL, MICHELLE ALVAREZ, GRACE FAIRLY, NICHOLAS MENDOZA. YOU'RE COMING DOWN, LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THESE FINE FOLKS DID. ON JULY 27th, WHILE EXERCISING IN THE LAZY RIVER AT THE TOM MUEHLENBECK RECREATION CENTER, TIMOTHY SUTHERLAND SUFFERED CARDIAC ARREST AND SLIPPED BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. FACILITY AQUATIC STAFF FOLLOWED THEIR TRAINING PROTOCOL PERFECTLY TO PROVIDE LIFE-SAVING CARE FOR MR. SUTHERLAND. STAFF PERFORMED A WATER RESCUE AND ROVED HIM FROM THE POOL WHERE THEY CONDUCTED A PRIMARY ASSESSMENT AND FOUND NO BREATHING OR PULSE. STAFF THEN APPLIED AN AED AND ADMINISTERED CPR. CPR CONTINUED UNTIL MR. SUTHERLAND SHOWED SIGNS OF LIFE. WHEN PLANO EMS ARRIVED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, MR. SUTHERLAND WAS BREATHING. PLANO PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF REGULARLY TRAIN AND PREPARE TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO MEDICAL EMERGENCIES IN THE POOLS AND REC CENTERS. AND THIS POSITIVE RESULT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT EXTENSIVE TRAINING. ANOTHER LIFE HAS BEEN SAVED. LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) YOU STAND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE HER. I'LL STAND NEXT TO YOU. I JUST NEED ABOUT FOUR ON EACH SIDE. CLOSE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: YOU BET. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Mayor Muns: DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? >> HELLO. THIS IS MY FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETING. IS IT ON? YES. I MOVED TO PLANO IN '84. THERE WAS NOTHING HERE. NOW IT'S A CITY. BUT NOW ME AND MY WIFE LOVE THE REC NTER,ND I GSS I GOT SAVED. I MEAN, THEY PULLED ME OUT OF THE WATER AND BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE, AND I'M VERY, VERY GRATEFUL TO EVERYBODY INVOLVED FOR THAT. I DON'T REMEMBER IT. I WOKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL. BUT YEAH, YOU DESERVE THE RECOGNITION. THAT WAS QUITE AN EFFORT. I WAS DEAD, AND HERE I AM, BACK IN PLANO. I LOVE IT HERE. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND I'LL BE BACK AT THE REC CENTER SOON. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Mayor Muns: COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST. >> COMMENTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST. THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS TO ALLOW UP TO THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER WITH 30 TOTAL MINUTES ON ITEMS OF INTEREST OR CONCERN AND NOT ONTEMSHAT ARE ON THE CURRENT AGENDA. THE COUNCIL MAY NOT DISCUSS THESE ITEMS, BUT MAY RESPOND WITH FACTUAL OR POLICY INFORMATION. THE COUNCIL MAY CHOOSE TO PLACE THE ITEM ON A FUTURE AGENDA. AND I DO HAVE FOUR SPEAKERS THIS EVENING. THE FIRST ONE IS DONNA MACY. >> GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL. DONNA MACY, TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD. OBJECTIVE, TO RECEIVE SUPPORT BY ADDING THIS TOPIC JUSTICE FOR GABBY, COMMUNITY SAFETY AND SECURITY, TO THE PLANO COUNCIL AGENDA TO BE FORMALLY DISCUSSED, PLEASE. GOAL, OBJECTIVE, TRANSPARENCY OF THE PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL POLICY PROCEDURES AND PROCESS UTILIZED IN THE DECISIONS OF THE ANIMAL BITES DOGS, VICIOUS DOGS TO THE PUBLIC. HOW THIS RELATES TO SERIOUS INJURIES BY HUMANS AND DEATHS OF PETS AND UNVACCINATED DOGS. IT HAS BEEN 86 DAYS SINCE MY FAMILY WAS ATTACKED, SERIOUSLY BITTEN BY TWO STRAY DOGS THAT ATTACKEDROM BEHIND, ALSO BITING MY NEIGHBOR AND KILLING MY GABBY GIRL. THE PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL HEARING ON MAY 17th WAS A REVICTIMIZATION OF MR. STEVE COOKSEY, LYNN WILKINS, AND MYSELF. HOUSE BILL 2127 DOES NOT AFFECT THE TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE WHICH CONTAINS THE CHAPTER ON DANGEROUS DOGS AND RABIES SO THIS CAN BE DISCUSSED. CAN I SEE A SHOW OF HANDS OF HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE CHASED, BITTEN ATTACK? DOGS KILLED? IN THE U.S. '22 CENSUS, 84 PEOPLE WERE KILLED BY ANIMAL BITES. I'M BEGGING FOR ANIMAL CONTROL TO ENGAGE. HAVING LEARNED THIS TO REPORT PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL AND ANIMALS BROUGHT IN MAULED SO PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL CAN RESPOND EXPED EXPEDITIOUSLY. TO EXPEDITE RABIES STATUS IN REALTIME AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO WAIT 12 DAYS OR LATER. THIS IS NOT SUBJECTIVE, AS IT HAS THE PROPENSITY TO BE LIFE OR DEATH OF A HUMAN BITE. OR PAINFUL EXPENSIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURES, RABIES TO THE HUMANS IN INTERIM AS WE WAIT. GABBY'S ORDINANCE, SOLUTIONS, SIGNIFICANT INCREASE PENALTIES, FINES FOR IRRESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS. DOGS ARE CONSIDERED PROPERTY, SO HOW ABOUT GETTING A CLAIM AGAINS FOR INJURED PEOPLE BY KILL PETS AND RUN AWAY. POLICE SUPPORT? PERSONAL INJURY? HOMEOWNERS? INSURERS? RENTERS? HOW AS A VICTIM CAN WE CONTAIN -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> THERE IS CLEARLY A PROCESS MISSING HERE, CLEARLY. GABBY ALERT ON THE NEXT DOOR APP WERE SIMILAR TO THE PLANO FIX IT APP TO ALERT COMMUNITY WHEN AND WHERE LOOSE ANIMALS ARE SPOTTED IN A TIMELY, REALTIME EFFORT. GIVE PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL ASSIST ON THIS APP TO DEFINE PROXIMITY OF ANIMAL WITH BETTER EFFICIENCY AND EFFICACY BEFORE HARM OR DEATH OCCURS. NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT DOES NOT WORK, LET'S FIND WAYS TO IMPROVE POLICY, PROCESS, AND TRANSPARENCY TO EFFECTIVELY CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE, COMMUNICATION TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY. WHEN I ASK WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE PLANO LAWS IN TEXAS FROM EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO THE IN THE LAST -- >> Mayor Muns: MS. MACY -- >> LET'S EMPOWER PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL TO IMPROVE POLICY AND PROCEDURE. LET'S EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ON ANIMAL SAFETY, RECORDING AND REASSURING AND GAINING THE TRUST FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. PLANO ANIMAL CONTROL VISUAL PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AT THE BEAUTIFUL PARKS, POOLS, AND NATURE PARKS THAT NOW MOST PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO ENJOY -- >> Mayor Muns: MS. MACY. >> LET THIS MOMENT BE THE CATALYST OF CHANGE SO WE CAN ENJOY OUR CITY OF EXCELLENCE. THANK YOU. >> BOB MACY. >> BEFORE THE NEXT SPEAKER, THE REFERENCE WAS MADE TO HOUSE BILL 2127, AND THERE IS A LOT ABOUT THAT BILL THAT IS STILL GOING TO BE RESOLVED WITHIN THE COURTS. WE ARE ACTIVELY MONITORING THE IMPACTS OF THAT BILL, BUT IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO KNOW THE IMPACT, SO WANTED TO PUT THAT ON YOUR RADAR. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS BOB MACY. I RESIDE AT ZIP CODE 75023. ON APRIL8th OF THIS YEAR, MY SISTER'S FAMILY WAS ATTACKED BY TWO VICIOUS PITBULL DOGS THAT WERE KNOWN TO BE NUMEROUS REPORTS AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT WERE UNREGISTERED. THEY WERE UNVACCINATED. IT RESULTED IN INJURIES TO LYNN, TWO BROKEN TEETH, REQUIRING SEVERAL FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION SURGERIES ON HER FACE. THE NEIGHBOR W R OUT TO TRY TO PROTECT HER WOUND UP GETTING SEVERELY BITTEN AND WAS REQUIRED TO UNDERGO RABIES SHOTS, WHICH HE OPTED TO TAKE THE CHANCE AND DID NOT TAKE THE SHOTS BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF THE PAIN. AND HE WAS INVOLVED WITH THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE HE WENT WITH WOUND UP GETTING SHOT AND KILLED SO HE ALREADY HAS PTSD, AND THIS HAS COMPLETELY SET HIM BACK AND HASN'T LEFT THE HOUSE, WHICH IS THE REASON HE'S NOT HERE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS. ACORDING TO Y'ALL'S WEBSITE, THERE'S 500 DOG BITES A YEAR JUST IN PLANO, BUT THEY SAY IT'S HIGHER THAN THAT BECAUSE A LOT GO UNREPORTED. ALTHOUGH IT'S REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE TO REPORT A DOG BITE, A LOT OF THEM ARE NOT REPORTED. STATE FARM INSURANCE REPORTS JUST IN THE CITY OF PLANO, THAT THEY AVERAGE A COST OF $42,000 PER DOG BITE IN DOG BITES WITH THEIR INSUREPEOP. THE DOGS THAT BIT THEM WERE REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM IF THEY'VE BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES, WHY NOTHING WAS DONE UP TO THAT POINT TO AT LEAST GET THEM REGISTERED AND AT LEAST GET THEM VACCINATED, BUT THAT WASN'T DONE. THE DOG ATTACKS IN THE CITY OF PLANO ARE JUST REALLY BASICALLY GETTING OUT OF HAND. NOW, WE WENT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEETINGS, AND IT JUST SEEMED LIKE ALL THE RIGHTS THAT THE PERSON WHO OWNED THE DOG, THE VICIOUS DOGS, THEIR RIGHTS WERE PROTECTED ALL THE WAY. I MEAN, JUST -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> -- LEANING THAT WAY, AND WE WERE BASICALLY JUST KIND OF HANGING. IT'S LIKE THEY CARED SO MUCH FOR THE PERSON WHO OWNED THE DOGS, AND US, WE ARE KIND OF LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. AND THE ONE THING THAT REALLY W IT, WHEN I ASKED, SHE WAS TOLD TO GET RID OF THE DOGS WITHIN 30 DAYS. TO HAPPEN IN THAT 30 DAYS.GOING- IS IT GOING TO ESCAPE AGAIN AND BITE MORE PEOPLE DURING THAT 30 DAYS? WHO KNOWS, YOU KNOW? WHO KNOWS? BUT THE MOST POIGNANT THING IS WHEN I ASKED, SO YOU'RE SAYING AS LONG AS SHE GETS IT OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS, EVEN IF YOU GO THREE MILES UP THE STREET INTO THE CITY OF DALLAS AND IT WINDS UP BITING A KID, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THEN? AND I WAS TOLD NOT OUR PROBLEM >> Mayor Muns: MR. MACY, YOUR TIME IS UP. >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. >> SUSAN ROSSBACH. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL AND STAFF. I'M HERE TONIGHT, AGAIN, ADDRESSING YOU AFTER MONTH OF INTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE LOOSE AND DANGEROUS DOG PROBLEM. YOU MIGHT RECALL I'M AN ENGINEER AND AN URBAN PLNER. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH OVER 50 RESIDENTS ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES DEALING WITH DOG ATTACKS, DOG BITES, RABIES SHOTS, AND FINDING AND RETURNIN. I AM SADDENED BY THE DAMAGE, PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND FINANCIAL, BEING CAUSED BY LOOSE DOGS IN OUR CITY. WHY IS THE LOOSE AND DANGEROUS DOG SITUATION SO IMPORTANT TO PLANO? NOT JUST INDIVIDUALS, BUT TO THE ? IT IS MORE PREVALENT THAN ANYONE KNOWS, AS MANY ATTACKS AND LOOSE PETS ARE NEVER REPORTED TO PLANO ANIMAL SERVICES. LEASHED PETS ARE OFTEN ATTACKED BY AT-LARGE DOGS, AND LEASH LAWS SHOULD BE EQUITABLY ENFORCED. LOOSE DOGS ARE INCREASINGLY THREATENING PEOPLE IN PUBLIC SPACES. IN THE PAST MONTH, THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS AT THE TEXAS POOL, AT RUSSELL CREEK PARK, AND ON THE TRAILS. IN NO CASE WAS THE OWNER FOUND. MOST TIMES WHEN LOOSE DOGS ATTACK, THE VICTIM HAS NO WAY OF FINDING THE OWNER OR THE ADDRESS OF THE DOG, SO PLANO ANIMAL SERVICES DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. MOST OF US CANNOT AFFORD TO BE BITTEN BY AN UNVACCINATED DOG. RABIES SHOTS START AT $10,000 A SERIES AND MUST BE ADMINISTERED AT THE HOSPITAL. RABIES VACCINATIONS FOR DOGS ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE AND INEXPENSIVE. THE CITY HAS A MANDATE, A TEXAS LAW, TO CONTROL THE SPREAD OF RABIES, YET, NONE IS MONITORING THE VACCINATION STATUS OF OUR PETS. LOOSE DOGS CREATE THE PERCEPTION OF UNSAFE STREETS AND THEY GENERATE BAD PUBLICITY. QUARANTINING AND BOARDING DANGEROUS AND LOOSE DOGS EATS UP VALUABLE SHELTER SPACE FOR ANIMALS THAT ARE TRULY HOMELESS. NOT ENFORCING OUR ORDINANCES FOR LICENSING VACCINATION AND CONTROL OF PETS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS LIABILITY FOR THE CITY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO EDUCAHE PUBLIC ON HOW TO REPORT DOGS THAT ARE LOOSE OR DOGS THAT BITE AND THE LAWS THAT APPLY TO ALL PET OWNERS. LOOSE DOGS HURT THE VIBRANCY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, YOUR CONSTITUENTS WANT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS. I WILL ONCE AGAIN SEND Y'ALL THIS INFORMATION AND MY RESEARCH BY E-MAIL, USING THE CITY OF PLANO WEBSITE LINK. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK MAIL. I LOOK FORWARD TO AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS LOOSE AND DANGEROUS DOGS WITH ALL OF THE CITY STAKEHOLDE AND ANYF Y'ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THE LAST SPEAKER IS ROBERT CANAL. >> MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL, PLANO CITY MANAGER, SENIOR ATTORNEY, FOR THE RECORD, I AM ROBERT PANAL, A 43-YEAR PLANO RESIDENT (INDISCERNIBLE). HERE AFTER KNOWN AS THE MUSEUM AND LIBRARY. I HAVE PROMISED YOUR CITY SECRETARY THAT I WOULD ONLY GO TWO MINUTES AND FIVE SECONDS IF I COULD STAY ON SCRIPT. I'M GOING OFF SCRIPT. RIGHT NOW. WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US IN THE MUSEUM AND LIBRARY. BUT IT DOESN'T REACH THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT HAPPENED AT THE MUEHLENBECK REC CENTER OR DOGS BITING CHILDREN. HOWEVER, I AM HERE FOR A PURPOSE, AND THAT PURPOSE THIS EVENING IS TO INFORM THE CITY COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF THAT THE MUSEUM AND LIBRARY WILL APPEAL A RELEVANT PORTION OF THE HERITAGE RECOMMENDATION SCHEDULED TO BE PRESENTED AT THE AUGUST 17th BUDGET WORK SESSION. THE MUSEUM AND LIBRARY FORMALLY INITIATED THE PROCESS THIS PAST FRIDAY BY PROVIDING AN APPEAL INFORMATIONAL PACKET TO THE CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPRESENTATIVES TO THE HERITAGE COMMISSION. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM TU AND COUNCILMAN RICCIARDELLI VIA CONSIDERED BY STAFF PERSONNEL. THE PLANNING MANAGER, BUDGET DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL WERE SIMULTANEOUSLY PROVIDED THE APPEAL INFORMATION PACKET. MR. MAYOR, MR. CITY MANAGER, THE NORTH TEXAS MESSANIC LIBRARY NEITHER FAULTS THE STAFF FOR EXECUTING DUTIES AS INSTRUCTED OR CITY ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS THAT VOLUNTEER TO CONDUCT AND OVERSEE CITY AND COMMISSIONBUSINESS. IF ANY ORGANIZATION CAN UNDERSTAND THE OBLIGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY AND VOLUNTEERISM, IT'S FREE MASONRY. IT IS, INDEED, UNFORTUNATE THAT WE MUST BRING THIS APPEAL TO YOUR ATTENTION, BUT THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY ELECTED BODY THAT CAN HEAR THE FACTS -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> -- DELIBERATE THE MERITS AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE IN A FAVORABLE POSITION. I MUST BRING YOU UP TO DATE, MR. MAYOR, AND MR. ISREALSON. SI FRIDAY, I HAVE HEARD PERSONALLY FROM COUNCILMEMBER RICCIARDELLI AND MR. BELL, AND THEY'VE ASKED ME IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET WITH THEM PRIVATELY OR HOWEVER, AND WE SAID CERTAINLY, I'M AVAILABLE, WILLING, AND WILL MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE BETWEEN NOW AND AUGUST THE 17th, I THINK THE DATE IS. AND WE LEAVE IT IN THEIR HANDS AND SEE WHERE WE GO FROM NOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR CITY. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU, SIR. >> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] MOVE ONTO THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> THE CONSENT AGENDA. THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION AND CONTAINS ITEMS WHICH ARE ROUTINE AND TYPICALLY NONCONTROVERSIAL.

BUT THE SUGGESTION WAS MADE, AND I AGREE. I'VE EXPREED THE SAME DIRE PHILOSOPHICALLY BEFORE TO ADD THE LANGUAGE THE CITY SHALL ALLOCATE A MINIMUM OF 95% OF ALL FUNDS RECEIVED FROM THE DEPARTMENT TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL ACT AS THE SUBRECIPIENTS TO ADMINISTER THE PRESCRIBED PURPOSES IN THIS - SECTION. AS I'VE BROUGHT THIS UP HERE AND THERE IN THE PAST, THE IDEA IS TO ENABLE OUR NONPROFIT COMMUNITY AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS TO PURSUE THESE THE SAME WAY THAT WE DO WITH RESPECT TO THE BUFFINGTON GRANT SYST. >> STAFF IS FINE WITH THAT ADDITION. >> Williams: THEN I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT AS A MOTION TO AMEND -- DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS INDIVIDUALLY? >> Mayor Muns: CAN WE DO THESE THREE TOGETHER OR NO? YOU CAN MAKE THE MOTION AND INCLUDE ALL THREE >> Williams: THEN I'D LIKE TO FORMALLY MAKE THE MOTION TO ADD TO SECTION 1 OF AD, AE, AND ITEM AF, QUOTE, THE CITY SHALL ALLOCATE A MINIMUM OF 95% OF ALL FUNDS RECEIVED TO A DEPARTMENT TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION OR OANIZIONS THAT WILL ACT AS THE SUBRECIPIENTS TO ADMINISTER THE FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRESCRIBED PURPOSES IN THIS SECTION. >> Mayor Muns: THAT WAS A MOTION RIGHT? >> Williams: YES. >> SECOND THAT MOTION. >> Mayor Muns: EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THE MOTION? OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA AD, AE, AF >> MAYOR, BEFORE WE CONTINUE, COULD I ASK CITY MANAGER ISREALSON SOMETHING HERE? AS PART OF THESE, I THINK THAT'S GREAT. ONE THING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY WAS THE PROBLEM WITH NOT HAVING OUR OWN LOCAL CHODA. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? I SEE NOW THAT THE SALVATION ARMY HAS STEPPED UP TO HELP US WITH THE ISSUES EXCEPT FOR THAT. PERHAPS WE COULD REACH OUT TO THEM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO IS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, WE HAVE -- WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE ALL THE FUNDING THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE, EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN NEED CONTINUES TO INCREASE. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO PUT ATTENTION ON THAT TO SEE WHAT WE COULD DO TO BE CERTAIN THAT WE DON'T LOSE THOSE FUNDS. I BELIEVE, WHAT, WE HAVE THREE-YEAR -- THAT WE DON'T LOSE ANY MORE OF THOSE FUNDS AND WE DO UTILIZE EVERY PENNY WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED >> SO COUNCILMAN, I'VE RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM LORI SCHWARZ. WE HAVE HOUSING AVAILABLE AS A CHODO, BUT ONE OF THE OTHER NONPROFITS IS GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SHARE -- CONSIDERING IT. HABITAT FOR COMMUNITY IS CONSIDERING IT. THERE IS THAT ROLLOVER EFFECT. SO LORI? >> I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS ITEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHODOS. ON THIS ONE HERE, SALVATION ARMY HAS STEPPED IN AS OUR PARTNER IN THE RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM. SO THEY'RE TWO SEPARATE POTS OF MONEY. THANK YOU. >> YES. SO THAT'S GREAT. AGAIN, IF WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T LOSE ANY AVAILABLE FUNDS WE HAVE TO MAKE THESE THINGS HAPPEN FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. >> OF COURSE. >> Mayor Muns: ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AD AE AF. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM. >> City Clerk: PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. APPLICANTS ARE LIMITED TO 15 MINUTES PRESENTATION TIME WITH A FIVE-MINUTE REBUTTAL, IF NEEDED. REMAINING SPEAKERS ARE LIMITED TO 30 TOTAL MINUTES OF TESTIMONY TIME, WITH THREE MINUTES ASSIGNED PER SPEAKER. THE PRESIDING OFFICER MAY AMEND THESE TIMES AS DEEMED NECESSARY. NONPUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL PERMIT PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ITEMS ON THE AGENDA NOT POSTED FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL ESTABLISH TIME LIMITS BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKER REQUESTS, LENGTH OF THE AGENDA, AND TO ENSURE MEETING EFFICIENCY, AND MAY INCLUDE A CUMULATIVE TIME LIMIT. SPEAKERS WILL BE CALLED IN THE ORDER REQUESTS ARE RECEIVED UNTIL THE CUMULATIVE TIME IS EXHAUSTED. ITEM NUMBER ONE. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE TO REPEAL A REPCE THE PARKS, RECREATION, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN; AND PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. RON SMITH, YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. EARLIER THIS EVENING DURING PRELIMINARY OPEN MEETING WE PRESENTED INFORMATION, ALONG WITH HALF AND ASSOCIATES, OUR CONSULTANT, AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE. STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT MAY BE A RESULT OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING. >> Mor Muns: THA. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMER HAS A QUESTION. >> Holmer: CAN I GET CLARIFICATION? JUST EAST OF HAGGARD PARK, THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT BLUE AREA. IS THAT A PROPOSED PARK? >> RON, I THINK IT'S AVENUE L. AVENUE L, JUST EAST OF CITY HALL HERE. THE MUNICIPAL CENTER, THERE'S A SMALL PARCEL THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PROPOSED PARK. >> SO IN THE DOWNTOWN EA, I I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, JUST NORTH OF WHERE -- NORTHEAST OF WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE THREE PARCELS THAT THE CITY OWNS TWO OF THOSE THREE, AND WE HAVE THEM IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL PARK LAND FOR DOWNTOWN. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A HUGE NEED FOR MORE PROPERTY IN DOWNTOWN, MORE OPEN SPACE. LITTLE OLD HAGGARD PARK IS DOING THE BEST THAT IT CAN TO MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. BUT WE UNDERSTAND AS A CITY AND AS A DEPTMENT THAT WE NEED SOME MORE PROPERTY IN DOWNTOWN, AND THAT IS THREE PARCELS THAT ARE INTERNAL STAFF AND OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONSIDER. >> Holmer: CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPOSED PARK LAND AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE? >> YEAH, SO WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES, MORE FREQUENTLY NOW THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST, WHERE A DEVELOPER WILL PROVIDE OPEN SPACE TO THEIR RESIDENTS, WHETHER THAT'S A COMMERCIAL USE OR RESIDENTIAL USE. DEVELOPERS ARE LEARNING MORE AND MORE THAT OPEN SPACE I AN AMENITY. IT'S A BENEFIT. SO THEY BUILT IN OPEN SPACE IN THOSE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HELP ATTRACT THEIR TENANTS, WHETHER IT'S A RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL. SO WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE NEGOTIATE OR COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE DEVELOPERS THAT THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES WHERE THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE OPEN SPACE THAT THEY DEEM PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. AND WE AS A DEPARTMENT MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S CODIFIED IN SOME SORT OF AN AGREEMENT IN THE ZONING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT MAKES SURE THAT THAT PROPERTY OR THAT OPEN SPACE IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. WE DON'T OWN IT. WE DON'T MAINTAIN IT. THAT DEVELOPER WILL OR WHATEVER THE LAND USE AGREEMENT IS. BUT IT STILL PROVIDES A BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC. THERE'S AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE, SAY, A SPLASH PAD THAT'S BUILT AS PART OF A DEVELOPMENT OR JUST OPEN SPACE AROUND A POND WITH TRAIL, PRIVATELY OWNED, BUT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. >> Holmer: SO THIS PIECE OF LAND ISWNED B THE CITY, BY PARKS, BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, IS THAT CORRECT? >> WHICH PARCEL? >> Holmer: THE ONE I WAS ASKING ABOUT IN THE VERY BEGINNING. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD DESIGNATE AS A PROPOSED PARK VERSUS -- IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PROPOSED PARK AND IT JUST BEING PARK LAND, LAND THAT BELONGS TO THE CITY OF PLANO'S PARK DEPARTMENT? I JUST WANT TO -- WHAT I'M GETTING AT, I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT -- AND I REALIZE THAT THE PARK WOULD BE VOTED ON LATER ON. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AREN'T SETTING AN EXPECTATION WITH THE PUBLIC THAT A PARK IS GOING THERE IF THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DECIDED? >> SURE, I UNDERSTAND. SO THE MAP -- THIS IS OUR BEST EFFORT TO TRY TO IDENTIFY PARCELS THAT ARE AVAILABLE OR THAT COULD BE IDENTIFIED AS POTENTIAL PARK LAND. NOTHING IN THIS OBLIGATES THE CITY TO ACT ON ANY OF THESE THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL PARK. >> AND I WOULD SAY THAT THESE PARCELS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE CITY. THE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T OWN LAND. THE CITY OWNS LAND. BUT IT IS DESIGNATED PARK LAND, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PUT AS A DIFFERENT PURPOSE. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD ADD IN IS THAT THESE LOCATIONS IN SOME WAYS HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY, ESPECIALLY ON THE PROPOSED SIDE OF THINGS, AND SO STAFF WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A GENERAL AREA OF NEED, DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON SOME PARCELS. BUT THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY ON THE PROPOSED SIDE OF THINGS. DIGREENT.: AND I'M NOT IN I THINK THAT'S A GREAT LOCATION FOR A PARK. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES ONCE WE PUT THINGS IN WRITING AND ON A MAP AND OUT TO THE PUBLIC, THERE'S THAT EXPECTATION IF SOMEONE WAS BUYING PROPERTY OR ANYTHING, THEY WOULD SAY, OH, THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A PARK THERE AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE'RE CREATING ANY PROBLEMS FOR OURSELVES DOWN THE ROAD BY DOING THAT. >> I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANKS RON. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? >> City Clerk: WE HAVE NO SPEAR >> Mayor Muns: CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONFINE COMMENTS TO COUNCIL. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. NEXT ITEM. >> City Clerk: ITEM NUMBER TWO. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDER ANSWER AS REQUESTED IN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 2023-002 TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, PARKS MASTER PLAN MAP, AND BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ORIGINALLY ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 2021-11-1, INCORPORATING AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE 2023 UPDATE OF THE PARKS, RECREATION, TRAILS, & OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL, AND EXECUTIVES. I'M CHRISTINA DAY, THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. I'M HERE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS THAT RELATE TO THE ADOPTION OF YOUR NEW PARKS RECREATION, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN THAT YOU JUST ADOPTED. I'LL TRY TO KEEP THIS SHORT. AS YOU KNOW, YOU JUST ADOPTED A NEW UPDATE TO THE PARKS PLAN FOR SHORT. THAT HAPPENS EVERY FIVE YEARS. AND THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVEPLAN THERE IS AN ACTION IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION POLICY THAT TALKS ABOUT NOT ONLY IMPLEMENTING THE PARKS PLAN BUT UPDATING IT SPECIFICALLY EVERY FIVE YEARS. AND SO THIS IS WHAT THE PARKS MASTER PLAN MAP LOOKS LIKE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE INCORPORATE IT FROM THE MASTER PLAN INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VERBATIM. THIS DOES -- THIS SLIDE WAS CREATED AND DRAFTED BEFORE WE HAD THAT SINGULAR UPDATE THAT SHOWS THE SHARED USE PATH MOVING FROM K AVENUE TO MUNICIPAL AVENUE. SO KNOW WITH THE ORDINANCE, WE'LL NEED TO UPDATE THAT MAP. THE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MAP ALSO JUST DIRECTLY TRANSLATED FROM THE PARKS MASTER PLAN INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE COMP PLAN BANNER. THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SO FAR BECAUSE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, NOT IN THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. SO WE'VE SHOWN YOU THE CHANGES HERE BECAUSE THE OPEN SPACE AND SOCIAL NETWORK CATEGORIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTLY RELATE BACK TO THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. SO YOU SEE THE CORRESPONDING CHANGES HERE. WE CHANGE PARK BOUNDARIES AND OTHER CONDITIONS TO RELATE TO THE CHANGES IN THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. THERE ARE 13 ASSOCIATED CHANGES. THOSE WERE DETAILED IN THE STAFF REPORT. AND SO I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THOSE. BUT WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THIS IS THE WAY THE DRAFT MAP COREHENSIVE PLAN. E SO THERE ARE THREE NEW MAPS THAT WILL BE REPEALED AND REPLACED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BASED ON THE UPDATE. P&Z RECOMMENDED THIS CHANGE BY A VOTE OF 8-0. AND MIKE BELL, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING MANAGER, AND I ARE BOTH AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS ITEM. >> Mayor Muns: THANKS, CHRISTINA. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? >> City Clerk: THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. >> Ricciardelli: MOTION TO APPROVE. >> Williams: SECOND. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. ITEM THREE. >> City Clerk: ITEM NUMBER THREE. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AS REQUESTED IN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 2023-003 TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ORIGINALLY ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 2021-11-1, INCORPORATING AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY AND >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MIKE BELL. THIS ITEM IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE POLICY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE THE POLICY HERE ON THIS SLIDE, WHICH STATES PLANO IMEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO AND INFRASTRUCTURE. AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE COMING SLIDES, THESE AMENDMENTS ARE NOT TO THE POLICY ITSELF BUT REALLY TO THE ACTION STATEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IN ORDER TO GIVE MORE PRACTICAL GUIDANCE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS IT REVIEWS THE CIP EACH YEAR. THE REASON FOR THIS NEED IS AS CITIES ARE FAST GROWING, THEY'RE OFTEN MAP-BASED CIPs. SO FOR INSTANCE, THE ROLE OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION IS TO MAKE SURE NEW STREETS ARE ALIGNED WITH THE MAP. PARKS ARE IN CONFORM ANSWER WITH THE PARKS MASTER PLAN MAP AND SO ON. HOWEVER, AS THESE AREAS ARE NOW -- THESE MAPS ARE MOSTLY IMPLEMENTED AND CONSTRUCTED, THERE'S A NEED TO SWITCH FROM OVER TO MAP-BASED APPROACH TO MORE OF A STRATEGIC MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS PLANNING PERSPECTIVE FOR THE CIP REVIEW. IT'S COME UP IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AS STAFF HAS SOMEWHAT STRUGGLED TO MAKE A DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE P AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BECAUSE MOST OF THE CIP IS MORE MAINTENANCE AT THIS POINT AND THE ONLD GUIDANCE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS MAINTAINING FACILITIES. SOME OF THE FEEDBACK FROM P&Z IS THIS IS GREAT BUT NOT TELLING US MUCH. WE'RE PROPOSING THESE AMENDMENTS IN ORDER TO GIVE BETTER GUIDANCE, INCORPORATE A LOT OF THIS THAT IS ONGOING CITY OPERATIONS. AS A RESULT, INCREASE TRANSPARENCY IN THE PROCESS. SO AMENDMENTS TO THE POLICY ITSELF IS SIMPLY TO ADD THE WORD "ASSETS." THIS IS REQUESTED FROM THE DEPARTMENT. IT JUST GIVES US A BROADER TERM TO WORK WITH. THEN I'LL START BY SUMMARIZING THE CHANGES SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT. THESE ARE ALL PART OF THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY UNDER THE SAFETY AND SERVICES COMPONENT AND THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT PILLAR OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IN TOTAL, THERE WILL BE NINE ACTIONS, FOUR NEW, ONE SLIGHTLY AMENDED AND THE OTHERS EXACTLY THE SAME, JUST RENUMBERED. STARTING WITH AION ONE, THIS IS AMENDED BUT ESSENTIALLY SAYS THE SAME THING, JUST IN DIFFERENT WORDS, TO MAINTAIN ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO INVENTORY THE LOCATION, CONDITION, AND ANTICIPATE A LIFESPAN OF CITY FACILITIES, ASSETS, AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS DONE THROUGH THE CARTOGRAPHIC SOFTWARE, WHICH IS REALLY NEAT. WE ALREADY HAVE THIS SYSTEM IN PLACE TODAY. ACTION NUMBER TWO IS TO USE THAT DATA FROM THE ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN THREE WAYS. ONE IS TO STRATEGICALLY PLAN FOR PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE REPAIR AND PLACEMENT OF CITY INFRASTRUCTURE. TWO IS TO ASSESS THE ADEQUACY AND FUTURE NEEDS AND POTENTIAL GROWTH IN REDEVELOPMENT LOCATIONS. NOT JUST REPLACING EVERYTHING WITH WHAT'S ON THE GROUND TODAY. THERE MAY BE A NEED TO UPGRADE BASED ON ANTICIPATED GROWTH. LASTLY TO DEVELOP LONG-TERM STRATEGIES TO BALANCE THE NEED FOR TIMELY AND COST-EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE WITH OTHER EFFORTS TO REVITALIZE AND IDENTIFY GROWTH IN REDEVELOPMENT LOCATIONS. NUMBER THREE IS TO MAINTAIN THE CIP A A FIVE-YEA GUI TO PLANNING BUILDING OPERATING AND MAINTAINING CAPITAL PROJECTS AND ADOPT THE FIRST YEAR AS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET. THIS IS, AGAIN, EXISTING PRACTICE. WE'RE SIMPLY PUTTING IT BACK IN. THAT LEADS TO THE NEXT ACTION, WHICH IS REALLY THE PRACTICAL GUIDANCE THAT WE'RE GETTING TOWARDS IS REVIEWING THE FIVE-YEAR CIP ANNUALLY WITH THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION TO ENSURE PROJECTS ARE IN LINE WITH THE COMP PLAN AND OTHER MASTER PLANS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PRIORITIES, AGAIN HOW WE TIE THE PROGRAMS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ONE IS THAT THE PROJECT DRESSES ISSUES AND ADEQUACY OR NEEDS IN THE CITY IDENTIFIED BY THE ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. WE'VE IDENTIFIED AREAS THAT ARE IN SOME CONDITION THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. B, THAT THEY PROVIDE PROACTIVE IMPROVEMENTS. THIRD, THAT IT CONSTRUCTS THOSE INCOMPLETE OR NOT-YET-BUILT ASPECTS OF THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN OR BIKE PLAN. THERE ARE STILL A FEW OUT THERE. D, PROMOTE A STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF THE FACILITY PLAN, PUBLIC WORKS MASTER PLAN, ENSION OAK POINR OTHER ADOPTED MASTER PLANS. E, THAT IT PROMOTES AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE. F, IMPLEMENT TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS. AND LASTLY, THAT IT COORDINATES WITH PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT LOCATIONS. LAST NEW ACTION IS ACTION FIVE, MEANT TO BE MORE HOLISTIC, THAT IN PREPARING THE CIP, CONSIDER EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION, STAIBILITY, RELONG-TERM SAFETY BENEFITS AND COST EFFECTIVENESS, MEANT TO BE HOLISTIC AND MAKING SURE WE'RE GOOD STEWARDS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. LASTLY ARE THOSE EXISTING ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RENUMBERED. THOSE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME JUST WITH RENUMBERING. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THERE WAS NO PUBLIC FEEDBACK ON THIS ITEM. HOWEVER, THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL 8-0. HPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? THANK YOU. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY SPEAKERS? >> City Clerk: THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. >> Mayor Muns: CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONFINE COMMENTS TO COUNCIL. >> MR. MAYOR, I MOVE WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 3. >> SECOND. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. NEXT ITEM. >> City Clerk: ITEM NUMBER FOUR. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE 2023-2024 ACTION PLAN, INCLUDING THE SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AND PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2023-2024 AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY EXECUTIVES. I'M SHANETTE EADEN HERE TO PRESENT OUR2023/24 HUD ACTION PLAN. HUD, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING -- WE AS IN THE CITY OF PLANO -- HAS BEEN RECEIVING HUD FUNDS FOR QUITE A WHILE. WE'VE RECEIVED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FOR, GOODNESS, 38 YEARS, AND HOME FUNDS, AS YOU CAN SEE, FOR 20 YEARS. WE HAVE HELPED THOUSANDS OF PLANO RESIDENTS WITH EITHER REPAIRING THEIR HOMES, OBTAINING A NEW HOME, MOVING TO PLANO AND HAVING A NEW HOME HERE IN PLANO, OR JUST WITH COUNTLESS SOCIAL SERVICE ACTIVITIES THAT HELP THEIR YOUTH OR SENIORS, JUST GENERAL POPULATION THAT'S IN NEED, LOW TO MODERATE INCOME. SO THIS SLIDE IS HERE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU HUD'S COMPLICATED PROCESS. SO EVERY FIVE YEARS WE RECEIVE FUNDING FROM -- WE RECEIVE FUNDING FROM HUD EVERY YEAR. BUT EVERY FIVE YEARS HUD SAYS YOU'VE GOT TO PREPARE A CONSOLIDATED PLAN. IT'S A FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED ACVITI WE THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO DO OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN ORDER -- THROUGH THE USE OF THEIR FUNDS. SO WHAT THE ACTUAL NAME IS, IT'S A FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS. THE ACTIVITIES IN THAT FIVE-YEAR PLAN ARE OBTAINED FROM COUNTLESS PUBLIC OUTREACH, PUBLIC MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE, AND JUST SURVEYS THAT WE HAVE TO OUR GENERAL POPULATION. SO AFTER THAT FIVE-YEAR PLAN IS SUBMITTED, WHAT HUD SAYS IS YOU HAVE TO CREATE AN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN EACH YEAR. THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN SAYS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HUD WILL GIVE US OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY USE THOSE FUNDS. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN YEAR THREE OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN. SO WE'VE ONLY COMPLETED TWO YEARS. YEAR THREE, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WILL END ON THE 23rd -- I MEAN ON SEPTEMBER 30th. BUT YEAR FOUR, WHICH IS WHAT THIS ACTION PLAN IS FOR TONIGHT, IS ACTUALLY STARTING ON OCTOBER 1st. ALL RIGHT. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR HUD FUNDS, THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, AS YOU CAN SEE. OUR CDBG DOLLARS INCREASED THIS YEAR BY ABOUT $32,000, WHEREAS OUR HOME DOLLARS DECREASED ABOUT $13,000. BUT OVERALL, WE AVERAGE ABOUT 1.4 MILLION OR SO IN CDBG ANNUALLY THAT WE RECEIVE FROM HUD OR THAT THEY SET ASIDE FOR US. AND ABOUT 600 OF LATE FROM HUD ON HOME FUNDING. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR THIS NEXS OCTOBER 1. WE'VE GOT THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM, THIS IS A CITY-RUN PROGRAM, AND WE ARE PLANNING TO ASSIST PLANO'S LOW-TO-MODERATE RESIDENTS IN REPAIRING THEIR HOMES, AS WELL AS THAT INCLUDES TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD EMERGENCIES HVAC ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THAT, OR SEWER LINES, WE HAVE A LOT OF SEWER LINE ISSUES HERE IN PLANO, SO WE REPLACE CAST IRON PIPES AND THAT IS CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY. WE HAVE OUR FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM AND ASSISTANCE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL SAW WHEN YOU WERE LOOKING AT THIS DOCUMENT, THERE'S ONLY $8,000 ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR THIS YEAR TO BE ANY NEW ALLOCATION IN FIRST TIME HOME -- FIRST TIME HOME BUYER DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE AND/OR CLOSING COST, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY LAST YEAR, SO THAT MEANS WE STILL HAVE THAT ALLOCATION, THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY IS TO ASSIST IN TEACHING OUR FIRST TIME HOME BUYER CLASS TO PEOPLE THAT COME, WE HAVE THAT CLASS 11 MONTHS IN A YEAR. WE DON'T DO IT IN DECBER, ASELL AS AN UNDERWRITING, BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE APPROVED SIX APPLICANTS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR HOMES IN PLANO, BUT EVEN THOUGH WE'VE APPROVED THEM, DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO FIND HOMES THEY CAN AFFORD WITHIN THEIR RANGE FOR US TO APPROVE THEM AND ACTUALLY GIVE THEM THE MONEY, EITHER THE CLOSER OR THE DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. NEXT, WE HAVE UNDER OUR HUD OBJECTIVE OF DECENT HOUSING, WE HAVE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, THEY CAME AND ASKED $45,000 THIS YEAR TO ASSIST THEM IN REPAIRING A NEW HOME, AND THAT IS -- THEY RECEIVED ALMOST ALL THE FUNDING, SO THAT IS GOING TO ASSIST THEM, UNDER THE HUD SUITABLE LIVING YOU SEE HERE, WE PARTNER WITH COLLIN COUNTY, ALL OF THESE FUNDS GO TO THE ASSISTANT CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE, IT'S FUNDED WITH CDBG FUNDS. WE CAN HELP SOMEONE FOR A MAXIMUM OF THREE MONTHS, BUT IT'S THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, UP TO 100% OF UTILIES AN. ALREADY, CITY HOUSES HERE, AND THEY ARE -- THEY ARE COMING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO OUR YOUTH, OUR 18 TO 22 POPULATION YOUTH HERE THAT ARE HOMELESS. CITY HOUSE HAS THREE TRANSITIONAL HOMES HERE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT OUR CITY, AND SO THE CDBG FUNDING WILL ASSIST THEM IN HERE. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THEM AGAIN ON AUGUST 17th, BECAUSE THE COMMISSION IS RECOMMENDING THEM FOR ANOTHER SMALL PORTION, AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF FUNDING IN THE BUFFINGTON COMMUNITY SERVICE GRANT. WE HE TEX MUSLIM WOMEN'S FOUNDATION, THEY ARE FORMER RECIPIENT FROM LAST YEAR. THAT IS TO FUND THEIR PEACE IN THE HOME OPERATIONS, THEY WILL BE PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER COUNSELING SERVICES, JUST AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE. THE NEXT PROPOSAL IS TO FUN THE SAMARITAN INN, YOU HAVE SEEN THEM IN THE BUFFINGTON COMMUNITY SERVICE GRANTS, AND THE COMMISSION DISCUSSED THIS YEAR OF RECOMMENDING THEM FOR CDBG FUNDING BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE THAT IN OUR ACTION PLAN OR IN OUR -- WE HAVE THE ACTION PLAN, AS WELL AS WE HAVE A CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT THAT COMES IN DECEMBER. THIS REPORT HERE ONLY TALKS ABOUT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND BLOCK GRANT FUNDS. IT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE CITY USES ITS OWN GENERAL FUND DOLLARS TO FUND SAMARITAN INN, THE ASSISTANCE OF THE SAMARITAN INN IS FUNDED WITH DOLLAR IN THE PAST, THEY'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND YOU FUND THEM OUT OF THE HUD FUNDING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ASST THE HOMELESS SHELTER, WE NEED THE HOMELESS SHELTER GOALS SET OUT. FAMILY PLACE IS A RETURN, AGENCY, THEY PROVIDE COUNSELING. THEY ACTUALLY GO TO HOMELESS SHELTERS AND PROVIDE COUNSELING TO FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. FINAL ONE IS MY POSSIBILITIES. SO MY POSSIBILITIES IS DOING A PUBLIC FACILITY IMPROVEMENT. THEY ARE LOCATED HERE IN PLANO. I BELIEVE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW WHERE -- YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW THEIR LOCATION, BUT THEY'VE COME FOR SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS THE -- THE FUNDING THAT THEY ARE USING IS THE PORTION OF CDBG DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF. SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS AND I CAN ANSWER THIS. WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT OUR 1.4 MILLION IN CDBG FUNDS, HUD SAYS THAT ONLY 15% OF THAT ALLOCATION CAN BE USED ON SOCIAL SERVICES. IT THEN SAYS 20% CAN BE USED ON ADMIN, BUT THE REMAINING 65% ON THAT IS RIGHT, THE REMAINING 6 IS USED FOR SOME TYPE OF EITHER PUBLIC FACILITY OR HOUSING REHAB. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO USE THESE FUNDS FOR JUST ERECT NEW HOUSING. WE CAN'T CREATE NEW HOUSING WITH THESE FUNDS UNLESS WE HAVE A CDBO, THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE ONE OF THOSE, WE HAVE YET TO HAVE ONE IN OUR 38 YEARS, BUT IT'S GOOD BECAUSE MY POSSIBILITIES WILL BE DOING THEIR PUBLIC FACILITY, SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE'S A PUBLIC HEARING COMING UP NEXT, BUT I AM MOST DEFINITELY AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >> Mayor Mun THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU. WELL DONE. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY SPEAKERS. >> >> City Clerk: THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM. >> Mayor Muns: I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. >> Williams: JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM IN THE VOTE, AS LONG AS I'VE SERVED ON THIS COUNCIL, AROUND THIS TIME EVERY YEAR, WVE LOOKED TO RECEIPT AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE CDBG AND HOME FUNDS, AND IN MY ESTIMATION, IN BEING A HUD RECIPIENT ET AL, I'M TOLD THAT IT WOULD CAUSE ISSUES IF WE TABLED THIS ITEM TO REVISIT IT, SO I SIMPLY INTEND ON VOTING NOW. TO EXPLAIN MY VOTE. >> I KIND OF WAIT SOME EXPLANATION ON WHY TABLING IT WOULD CAUSE A ISSUE. >> SO WE HAVE TO SUBMIT A PLAN TO HUD B AUGUST 15th. ON AUGUST 15th, HUD THEN HAS THEIR TIME TO REVIEW. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN HAVE FUNDING START OCTOBER 1, YOU WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE IT TONIGHT. LET'S SAY IF IT WAS TABLED, THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THAT FUNDING, AND WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN IS WE WOULD BE TELLING ANY ORGANIZATION THAT IS -- YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT, OR THAT YOU'VE HEARD ME SPEAK ABOUT TONIGHT, THEY CANNOT START THEIR PROGRAM UNTIL WE GET -- UNTIL WE APPLY TO HUD AND THEY ACTUALLY TAKE IT. HUD NEEDS 45 DAYSOR THEIR APPROVAL. STATUTORILY. >> Mayor Muns: MAYOR PRO TEM? >> Prince: I DO INTEND TO SUPPORT THIS TONIGHT, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT, SINCE I THINK THIS IS MY SIXTH TIME TO VOTE ON THIS, AND EACH YEAR WE SEE THAT THERE'S CERTAIN GOALS THAT WE'RE NOT ACHIEVING, AND I'M A VERY GOAL-ORIENTED PERSON, AND I LIKE US TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS. SO MY COMMENT ON THAT IS KNOW TL CHALLENGES AND REASONS WHY WE CAN'T ACHIEVE THOSE, BUT IF WE CAN'T, I WOULD LIKE US TO COME UP WITH AN ACTION PLAN THAT WE THINK IS ACHIEVABLE, BECAUSE I STRUGGLE WITH THE FACT THAT WE COME BACK EACH YEAR AND WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY WE AREN'T ACHIEVING OUR GOALS. AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE KEEP DOING THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND SO THAT -- THAT'S HARD FOR ME THAT WE KEEP COMING UP WITH A PLAN THAT IS UNACHIEVABLE. >> CAN I ADDRESS IT? ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS GET SOME -- SOME SUGGEIO FROM ONE OF OUR CRC MEMBERS PURSUE SOME NONPROFITS THAT MAY BE ABLE TO MEET SOME OF OUR GOALS ESPECIALLY FOR TRANSPORTATION WHICH IS A VERY DIFFICULT ONE. WE HAVE NOT HAD APPLICANTS FOR THAT. I INTEND TO GO AND VISIT WITH THESE NONPROFITS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THEM TO APPLY FOR NEXT YEAR. >> ON THE FIVE YEAR PLAN, I WANTED TO JUST DOUBLE CHECK, WE BEGIN THAT PROCESS SINCE IT'S BASED ON F.Y. F., WE'LL BEGIN THAT PROCESS OF DRAFTING AND PUBLIC INPUT, IS IT NEXT YEAR? >> YES, SIR. >> OKAY, JUST DOUBLE CHECKIN. THIS TIME NEXT YEAR? >> UH-HUH. >> Mayor Muns: COUNCILMEMBER RICCIARDELLI. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU MAYOR. SORRY, THANK YOU, MAYOR. JUST A QUICK QUESTION, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT REPORT. WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION SOME IN THE PAST, AND I KNOW THERE ARE PERCENTAGES THAT HUD REQUIRES FOR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, A VERY SIGNIFICANT PORTION, MAYBE THE MAJORITY OF THESE FUNDS ARE GOING TO HOUSING REHABILITATION, VERSUS OTHER TYPES OF PROGRAMS AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY, SHANETTE, YOU COVERED THE AMOT WE CA USE F SOCIAL SERVICE, THE AMOUNT WE CAN USE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COULD YOU REMIND ME, DOES THAT -- DOES THAT CAP ALSO APPLY TO SOMETHING LIKE TENET BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE, VERSUS HOUSING BASED REHABILITATION, OR HOW DO WE END UP WITH THE ALLOCATION THE WAY THAT WE HAVE IT. >> HUD DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO FUND COMMUNITY BASED ASSISTANCE OUT OF COMMUNITY -- YOU GOT IT, THEY ALLOW YOU TO FUND IT OUT OF HOME FUNDS, WE HAVE A FUND TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE, HOME AMERICAN RESCUE FUND PLAN, IT'S PART OF HOME, BUT THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FUND IT, WHAT HUD CALLS HOMELESS PREVENTION, THEY CALL IT SUBSISTENCE PAYMENT, THEY HAVE STRICT RULES THAT SUB SISTER EXTENSION PAYMENTS, EXCUSE ME, HAVE TO BE THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, OUT OF CDBG. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU FOR THAT. I UNDERSTAND WE CAN'T -- WE CAN'T DO THE TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE THE CAP O ADMINISTRATIVE AS WELL. SO IF WE WERE NOT DOING THE LION'S SHARE OF THIS FOR HOUSING REHABILITATION THE WAY THAT WE ARE, WHAT -- WHAT WOULD THOSE FUNDS BE USED FOR, YOU KNOW, WHICH OF THESE OTHER CATEGORIES WOULD WE LEGALLY BE ABLE TO INCREASE IF WE WERE TO SAY WE WANT TO SHIFT SOME OF IT FROM HERE TO THERE? >> SO THE CATEGORIES -- >> Ricciardelli: WE'VE GOT HOUSING REHABILITATION, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU LOOK AT HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, IS A CATEGORY, SUPPLY OF UNITS, HOMELESS SHELTER AND SERVICES. ARE ALL OF THOSE WITHIN THAT SOCIAL SERVICES UMBRELLA? THEY ARE. THE ONLY ONE THAT ISN'T IS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. YOU ALL LAST YEAR ACTUALLY -- >> Ricciardelli: PUBLIC SERVICES FACILITIES THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH MY POSSIBILITIES OKAY PERFECT. >> THOSE TWO. IN THE PAST YOU ALL HAVE FUNDED -- Y'ALL HAVE FUNDED PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVED MULTI-FAMILY ELDERLY UNITS, SO YOU ALL HAVE DONE -- BUT IT'S ALL BEEN BASED ON WHO -- WHAT AGENCIES ARE COMING REQUESTING FUNDS. AND SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON BUT, YES,OU COULD DO THAT.S, YOU ALL HAVE ADDED NEW SHELTER BEDS THROUGH FUNDING AGAPE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES, THEY DID A CONVERSION, WHICH IS WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT COMES OUT OF THAT 65% THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. >> Ricciardelli: OKAY, GOT YA'. THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. TYPICALLY THE LION'S SHARE GOES TO HOUSING REHABILITATION, AND YOU SEE THESE THEY'RE CATEGORIES GETTING A LOT LESS THAT ARE ALSO DOING VERY IMPORTANT THINGS, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE OF HUD REGULATIONS, AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY. >> YOU ARE. AND HSING REHAB C BE ANY ORGANIZATION, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IN THE PAST, HABITAT, LIKE THEY'VE DONE TODAY, HABITAT CAN BE DO HOME REHAB WITH THEIR FUNDING AS WELL AS YOU HAVE FUNDED OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PAST, THE SAME THING, REBUILDING TOGETHER, THAT'S WHAT I'M BEING -- >> Ricciardelli: OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THOSE REMINDERS. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS IN PRIOR YEARS, BUT IT'S GOT TO GET A REMINDER ON HOW THE HUD FUNDING WORKS, SO THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SMITH? >> Sths: RECALL WHEN YOU WERE HERE BACK IN MARCH WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HERE, FOLLOWING UP ON COUNCILMAN RICCIARDELLI'S STATEMENT, YOU CAN'T USE THE FUNDS FOR DIRECT REHAB, YOU KNOW, WHEN -- OR WAS IT RENT -- ANYWAY, THERE'S ONE THING THAT WE COULDN'T USE IT FOR FOR AS STAINS, I WOULD ASK ABOUT, WELL, WE CAN'T DO THAT, BUT WHAT ABOUT WE CAN HELP WITH UTILITY PAYMENTS, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS DOABLE? SO MY QUESTION IS WITH THAT IN MIND, BECAUSE LESS FACE IT, IT'S NOT GETTING ANY LESS EXPENSIVE FOR UILITIES, OF THE GRANT RECIPIENTS WE HAVE LISTED HERE, WHICH ONE OR ONES WOULD BE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH UTILITY REIMBURSEMENT OR ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THAT CAN PREVENT HOMELESSNESS AS WELL. >> AGREED. THE ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY, THEY RUN THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM, AND THEY CAN PAY -- SOMEONE CAN COME AND ONLY MEET UTILITY ASSISTANCE. THEY CAN PAY 100% OF THE UTILITY ASSISTANCE FOR THAT RESIDENT THAT IS INCOME ELIGIBLE. >> Smiths: OKAY. WHAT LEVEL OF FUNDING ARE THEY RECEIVING FOR THIS PROGRAM. >> $122,000. >> Smiths: 122. OKAY. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY AT THIS POINT THAT OTHER THAN 122, COULD FUNDS STILL BE PERHAPS REALLOCATED FROM SOME PLACE THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE ALL THE FUNDS AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER FOR ASSISTANCE, BEFORE THIS GETS FINALIZED TO READJUST AND PUT SOME OF THE FUNDS FOR SOMEONE THAT COULRY ASSISTANCE ESPECIALLY MAYBE, YOU KNOW, FOR SENIOR HOUSING THAT WOULD BE -- I WOULD PRETTY WELL SAY WOULD BE 100% UTILIZED IF WE COULD REALLOCATE AND MAKE SURE THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THAT PURPOSE. >> THE CONCERN WITH REALLOCATING RIGHT NOW, AND IN THIS PROCESS IS THAT WE'VE MAXED OUT THE 15% CAP, AND SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD MORE FUNDING TO THAT PROGRAM THAT THEY'RE RUNNING, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM ONE OF THE OTHER SOE AGENCIES LISTED IN THE REPORT. >> Smiths: THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING YOU, FOR INSTANCE, POSSIBILITIES YOU WERE SAYING THEY DO SECURITY SOMETHING IMPROVEMENT FACILITIES OR WHATEVER, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THAT ENTAILS, BUT, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS WE DON'T NEED $116,000 IN SECURITY IMPROVEMENT -- I MEAN, THEY DO GREAT WORK, AND -- AND THEY DESERVE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE HELP THAT WE GIVE THEM, BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED AGAIN THAT WE MAY NOT BE FULLY UTILIZING TO THE BEST OF OUR ABOUT THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE TO HELP PEOPLE. AND AGAIN, I GET BACK TO UTILITIES, OTHER THINGS THAT WE CANNOT DO, BUT WE CAN HELP, YOU KNOW, WITH UTILITY -- I WOULD LIKE TO BE SURE THAT WE'RE -- WE HAVE TO READJUST SOMETHING HERE OR THERE, THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR INPUT, WHERE WE COULD DO THAT. >> SO MY POSSIBILITIES IS FUNDED OUT OF THAT 65%. SO WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ADJUST FUNDING FROM MY POSSIBILITIES -- >> Smiths: AN EXAMPLE, BECAUSE THEY STAND OUT IN TERMS OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS OR THE OTHERS THAT WE HAVE THERE. >> BUT YOU CAN ADJUST WITHIN THE PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES, BUT I DO WANT TO REMIND YOU OF TWO THINGS. ONE, WE HAVE OUR HOME ART PROGRAM RIGHT NOW, WHICH AS I'VE MENTIONED TO YOU ALL BACK IN PROBABLY MARCH, I MENTIONED THAT YOU CAN'T PAY ONLY UTILITIES; HOWEVER, UTILITIES CAN BE PAID AS A SIDE OF PAYING SOMEONE RENT, SO WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT. THE OTHER THING IS THE BENEFIT OF WORKING WITH THE AS STAINS CENTER OF COLLIN COUTY WITH HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION IS THAT WE KNOW THEY GET A TXU GRANT, SO AS OUR FUNDING RUNS OUT AND PEOPLE ARE COMING WITH ELECTRICITY ASSISTANCE, WE -- NOT WE, THEY DO, THEIR CASE WORKER WILL ACTUALLY SEND PEOPLE AND QUALIFY THEM FR THEIR TXU GRANT, SO IT'S A GREAT EXPANSION UTILIZATION OF BOTH RESOURCES. SO IT SUPPLEMENTS OR WILL OFFSET FOR OURLANO RESIDENTS A LOTF TIMES BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT SEPARATE GRANT. >> OKAY. LIKE I SAY, I DIDN'T HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT AT PRETTY GOOD LENGTH, TONIGHT EVERYBODY IS PROBABLY TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT, BUT UTILITIES, TO ME THAT IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE, BECAUSE I KNOW HOW THAT CAN HURT PEOPLE, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER, SO ANY THOUGHT WE COULD DO THAT OR SOMEHOW, YOU KNOW, HELP WITH THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> Smiths: THANKS. >> Mayor Muns: COUNCILMEMBER HORNE. >> Holmer.>> HORNE: IT LOOKS LE OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, WE'RE GETTING BALLPARK BETWEEN THE HOME AND ALSO THE OTHER ACCOUNT, ABOUT $2 MILLION A YEAR, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GETTING. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO OUR THIRD YEAR, SO WE'RE LOOKING ABOUT HAVING A BALLPARK FIGURE, ABOUT 6 MILLION WE ACCUMULATED OVER THE 3 YEARS. OF THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING LEFT OVER? HAVE WE SPENT ALL OF IT ACCORDINGLY TO SERVE THE HOMELESS AS BEST WE CAN? CAN YOU GIVE ME INFMATION ON TT? >> SO WITH REGARDS TO SERVING HOMELESSNESS, OR HOME -- THOSE ARE HOMELESS, ACTUALLY, WE HAVE MAXED OUT EVERY YEAR ON USING THAT SOCIAL SERVICE MONEY. I BELIEVE WE HAVE -- THESE DOCUMENTS. IN THE MEMO THAT YOU ALL WERE PROVIDED, IT STATES THAT THERE IS $134,974 THAT ARE UNALLOCATED IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS, BUT THAT FALLS UNDER THAT BIG 65%. WAYS THAT WE COULD USE THAT FOR THOSE THAT ARE HOMELESS WOULD BE IF WE HAD A NONPROFIT, SAY, LIKE THEY DID TWO TO THREE YEARS AGO, WE WANT TO CREATE NEW BEDS. WE WANT TO FOR INSTANCE, THE FORMER AGENCY AGAPE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES, THEY TOOK TWO OF THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS, THEY OWNED A QUAD PLEX, THEY CONVERTED THEM INTO UNITS, SO WE WERE ABLE TO ADD TO THE NEW BEDS. THAT COMES OUT OF THAT BIG POT OF MONEYHERE FUNDING JUST PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, IT WON'T COME OUT OF THAT. ANYTHING THAT IS RELATED TO HOMELESS THAT IS NOT TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE, BUT IT'S FOCUSED ON THE CREATION OF ADDING BEDS OR EITHER IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC FACILITIES, BECAUSE ALL OF OUR SHELTERS ARE PUBLIC FACILITIES, SO THEY CAN COME THROUGH -- IT STILL TAKES OUT OF THE BIG POT THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, AND THAT WE HAVE MONEY IN, THAT'S REMAINING SO -- >> SO IN CASE WE HAVE OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS, WE DIDN'T SPEND ALL THE MONEY, DO WE HAVE TO RETURN IT BACK TO HUD? IS. >> SO WE HAVE -- HUD FUNDING, WE HAVE TEN YEARS TO SPEND IT. SO HUD'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN HOME MONEY. HOME MONEY WE HAVE FIVE YEARS TO SPEND. CDBG, WE HAVE TEN YEARS. WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN A SITUATION AS YOU'RE SAYING WHERE WE WOULD EVEN GET CLOSE TO NEEDING TO SPEND THE MONEY BECAUSE -- BECAUSE WE'VE SPENT IT. HUD SAYS FOR INSTANCE THAT IN ANY GIVEN TIME, IT'S AUGUST 15th, I BELIEVE, THEY DO WHAT THEY CALL TIMELINESS TEST. AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN THE YEAR, THEY MAKE SURE THEY DO IT AUGUST 15th. WE CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN $1.5 MILLION OF OUR CDBG ALLOCATION RESTING IN WHAT THEY CALL OUR BANK ACCOUNT. RIGHT NOW, OUR PERCENTAGE IS POINT 51. IT'S VERY SMALL. SO WE ALWAYS USE THE MONEY, WE'VE NEVER BEEN IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT. AND IF YOU ALL, II MAY, IF Y'ALL ARE THINKING ABOUT HOME MONIES AND THE HOME MONEY IS THE SAME THING. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS LET'S SAY IT'S YEAR FOUR, AND WE HAVE HOME MONIES THAT WE HAVEN'T SPENT, WE WOULD REACH OUT TO HUD AND WE WOULD ASK THEM TO EXTEND THE PERIOD, AND HUD WILL AND HAS FOR OTHER CITIES, OUR SISTER CITIES, THEY WILL EXTEND THE PERIOD TO USE THE FUNDS AND ALLOW US THE TIME, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO -- UNALLOCATE FUNDING THEY'VE ALLOCATED TO US JUST AS MUCH AS WE DON WT THEM. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO AS WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION, I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE COUNCIL, AND I THINK Y'ALL AS WELL WOULD LIKE TO BE DOING MORE OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE ACTIVITIES THAT WERE CAPPED AT 15% AT, AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THEN WITHIN THE 65%, WE'RE DOING SOME VERY IMPORTANT THINGS, BUT I THINK WE'RE DOING AN AMOUNT OF, YOU KNOW, SAY HOUSING REHABILITATION THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO WHAT WE'RE DOING OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES JUST BECAUSE 65% IS SO MUCH MORE THAN 15% SOHINKG STRATEGICALLY ABOUT HOW WE CAN HELP THE GREAT SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES IN OUR COMMUNITY, NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT KIND OF CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT LIKE SECURITY AT MY POSSIBILITIES OR ADDING ADDITIONAL BEDS AT A HOMELESS SHELTER CAN GO IN THE 65%, RATHER THAN THE 15% FOR SOCIAL SERVICES, MAYBE NEXT YEAR, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE CREATE THESE ALLOCATIONS, WE MIGHT WANT TO SURVEY ALL OF THOSE GREAT SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES THAT ARE PART OF THE 15% AND SAY WHAT CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS DO YOU HAVE THAT WE COULD MAYBE PUT IN THE 65%, BECAUSE LIKE WE'VE DONE FOR MY POSSIBILITIES, BECAUSE IF WE CAN DO THAT FOR THEM, THEN THEIR FUNDS ARE NOT RESTRICTED THE WAY FEDERAL FUNDS ARE, THAT MIGHT FREE UP MONEY FOR CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT TO POVIDE SOCIAL SERVICES IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THAT WAY WE MIGHT KIND OF GET AROUND THE 15% CAP IF THAT MAKES SENSE. JUST AN A IDEA, I WOULD LEAVE TO SEE US GO D' TO DO THAT FOR NEXT YEAR'S ITEM. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: COUNCILMEMBER HOLMER? >> Holmer: I KNOW THESE DOLLARS ARE REAY IMPORTANT, I DON'T WANT TO HOLD THEM UP GETTING OUT TO SERVE THE PUBLIC, OBVIOUSLY COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS HAS CONCERNS ENOUGH HE DOESN'T WANT TO VOTE TO SUPPORT THIS, AND MAYOR PRO TEM PRINCE HAS CONCERNS ABOUT SETTING ACTION PLANS IN PLACE, AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM TOO, I FEEL LIKE WE KEEP HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATION, AND IT GIVES ME SOME INDIGESTION TO APPROVE THIS WITHOUT GETTING AN ACTION PLAN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATEO MAKE IT PARO APPROVE, OR IF WE CAN'T TABLE IT -- >> SO LORI, CAN YOU DISCUSS THE PROCESS FOR AMENDING THE ACTION PLAN, GOING FORWARD BASIS. >> SURE. IF WE WERE LOOKING AT AMENDING THE FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN, THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT. YOU HAVE DONE A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THIS PLAN ALREADY BECAUSE OF COVID, THAT ENDED UP CHANGING QUITE A FEW PROGRAMS BECAUSE WE GOT ADDITIONAL DOLLARS SO WHAT THAT WOULD NEED TO HAVE IS AN OUTREACH OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC. ALL OF THESE NEE WERE ITTEN ASART OF THAT OUTREACH EFFORT THAT WE DID ORIGINALLY. AND THEN THERE HAS TO BE A PUBLICATION DATE, SO WE HAVE TO HAVE IT PUBLISHED FOR 30 DAYS, AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING MUCH LIKE WE'VE DONE TONIGHT, BUT THAT WOULD BE FOR THE FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. >> Holmer: I'M SORRY, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT, I THINK I'M LOOKING FOR TO COUNCILMEMBER WILLIAMS AND PRINCE FOR SPECIFICALLY WHAT -- I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS, BUT MAYBE -- >> THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE SET THAT WE ARE ACHIEVIN E AION PLAN, CAN YOU DISCUSS HOW THAT FALLS -- FOLDS INTO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND THEN HOW THESE PROCESSES -- BECAUSE WHAT I'M HEARING IS THEY WANT MORE TONGABLE GOALS THAT WE'RE CHOOF F ACHIEVING ON ONA ONAN ANNUAL BASIS. >> WE DO HAVE THE FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT HAS THE GOALS IN THERE. IS THAT WHAT THE UNDERSTANDING IS AS FAR AS THE ACTION PLAN IS CONCERNED? I THINK THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE -- ION'TNOW, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK TO SHANETTE FOR THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION IS THE CONCERNS ABOUT NOT MEETING TARGETS IN PARTICULAR AREAS. SO BECAUSE WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH MANAGED THROUGH A LOT OF OUR COVID PROGRAMS, WHICH TOOK QUITE A LOT OF STAFF TIME FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, WHAT WE UNDERSTAND FROM COUNCIL, BOTH FROM MARCH AND FROM THIS EVENING IS WE NEED TO DO A CONCERTED EFFORT FOR OUTREACH, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE STAFF WROTE INTO THE ACTION PLAN THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE APPROACHING NONPROFITS TO HELP US MEET THOSE GOALS, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS WRITTEN IN THIS YEAR, WE DID LISTEN AND WE HEARD THAT IS A CONCERN FROM COUNCIL, IT'S ALSO A CONCERN FOR US, BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE THOSE FOLKS COMING FORWARD, WHAT WE MANY MAY HAVE TO DO IS A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS DON'T EXIST HERE IN PLANO, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE METROPLEX TO LOOK FOR SOME OF THESE NONPROFITS TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD COME TO PLANO TO SERVE PLANO RESIDENTS. SO IF THERE ARE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT ARE LOCAL THAT CAN MEET THOSE PARTICULAR NEEDS,O OUTREACH TO THEM. I THINK FOR THE BOTH OF US, THIS IS SOMETHING WE DISCUSSED THIS IS A GOAL FOR US, BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE HEARD THE CONCERNS ABOUT NOT MEETING THOSE PARTICULAR GOALS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOWED UP YEAR AFTER YEAR IN OUR COMMUNITY ROUND TABLES THAT WE HAD, WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO ALL OF OUR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THESE STILL REMAIN HOLES. OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS ARE NOT SERVING CERTAIN THINGS, CERTAIN NEEDS HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO NEEDS.O PLANO TO SERVE THOSE >> Holmer: LORI, I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY. >> Tu: LORI, I THINK IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE FEDERAL FUNDS, IT'S FREE MONEY, AND WE NEED IT FOR OUR HOMELESS. I THINK THE CONCERN HERE IS NOT THAT WE'RE OPPOSED TO THE GRANT AND WE'RE OPPOSED TO GETTING THE MONEY TO HELP OUR HOMELESS, BUT RATHER THE CONCERN THAT THERE'S BEEN ONGOING ISSUES AND CONCERNS ABT OUR -- ARE WE REACHING OUR OBJECTIVE, ARE WE REACHING OUR GOAL? AND, YOU KNOW, IF NOT, HOW CAN WE IMPROVE? UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU PRETTY MUCH TIE OUR HANDS BY SAYING TODAY IS THE LAST DAY, WE DON'T APPROVE IT, THAT'S IT, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY FLEXIBILITY IN OFFERING ANY SUGGESTIONS. I GET IT, THAT YOU GUYS CAME IN MARCH AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT DURING THAT TIME, I THINK COUNCILMAN GRADY BASICALLY MONOPOLIZED ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE FUNDS, AND SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, NEXT YEAR THAT YOU PUT ASIDE SOME TIME FOR US TO POSSIBLY GO THROUGH THE CHANGES THAT -- THE DRAFT OR ACTION PLAN, 30 DAYS, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED, THEN LET'S SCHEDULE FOR 60 DAYS, AND THEN TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY NEED FOR A CHANGE OF RESOLUTION OR A CHANGE OF PLAN. I MEAN, IF THERE ISN'T, THERE ISN'T. IF THERE IS A REALITY WE JUST CAN'T GET WHATEVER IT WE NEED TO GET IN ORDER TO REACH OUR GOAL, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT, AND IF THERE'S A NEED FOR CONSULTANT, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT TOO, BUT I -- I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT WE'RE AT THE LAST DAY, AND IF WE DON'T APPROVE IT TODAY, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GET THE MONEY. I DON'T LIKE THAT EITHER. SO THAT'S MY SUGGESTION FOR NEXT TIME AROUND. >> THANK YOU, YES, THIS IS TYPICALLY THE DATE THAT WE COME. IT'S USUALLY THE SAME WEEK THAT YOU'RE HEARING YOUR BUDGET. BUT WE ABSOLUTELY TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ADJUST ALL THE OTHER TIMELINES WITH CRC IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU. >> COUNCIL, WE'LL HAVE THIS A JUNE PRELIMINARY OPEN SO THAT WE'RE AT LEAST A MONTH IN ADVANCE NEXT YEAR. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> Ricciardelli: SECOND. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 7-1. NO FURTHER BUSINESS, WE'RE ADJOURNED.
