MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM THREE, DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING LAND BANKING. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE INCLUDED A STAFF MEMO IN THE PACKET FOR THIS EVENING TO HELP EXPEDITE THE DISCUSSION. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE CONSIDERED AS WE'VE LOOKED AT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE GOING ON TO CHAPTER TWO OF PLANO'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS THE NEED FOR THE CITY TO PTICIPATE AT TIMES IN LAND BANKING. WE HAVE COME UP WITH A PROPOSAL, AND I HAVE PETER BRASTER AND DOUG McDONALD HERE ALSO, IF THERE'S SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. BUT WE'VE COME UP WITH A POLICY RECOMMENDATION INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET THAT WOULD CREATE A SUBACCOUNT WITHIN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND OF UP TO $20 MILLION TO ALLOW THE CITY TO PURCHASE AND HOLD LAND FOR THE PURPOSES OF STRATEGIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THIS FUND WOULD BECOME A REVOLVING ACCOUNT, SO IF THE LAND WERE SOLD TO A DEVELOPER OR A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BECAME A PARK, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE FUND WOULD BE REIMBURSED, SO IT WOULD WORK WITHIN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND, BUT WE BELIEVE THIS POLICY WILL CREATE ADDITIONAL CREATIVE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE CITY, SO WE RECOMMEND APRUFL AND ADOPTION OF THIS POLICY. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT HARD QUESTIONS WILL GO TO DOUG AND PETER. [ LAUGHTER ]. >> Mayor Muns: COUNCILMAN RICCIARDELLI. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU. REGARDING THE SUBACCOUNT IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE FUND, IF THOSE GET TO AN AMOUNT WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT ALL NEEDED FOR THAT PURPOSE, COULD THERE BE A TRANSFER TO THE GENERAL FUND? >> ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THAT ON A PROJECT-BY-PROJECT BASIS. IF WE END UP HOLDING SOMETHING FOR THE POLICY TERM OF TEN YEARS AND IT ENDS UP BEING QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE WAS, WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY BRING THAT BACK FOR COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION. >> Ricciardelli: PERFECT. THANK YOU. THAT SOUNDS GREAT. >> Mayor Muns: IS THIS AN ACTION ITEM? IS THAT WHERE -- DIRECTION? OKAY. OKAY. SO EVERYBODY IS IN AGREEMENT, RAISE YOUR HAND JUST SO THAT WE'LL -- LOOK AT THAT >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL GO TO WORK. >> Mayor Muns: APPRECIATE THAT.

THIS YEAR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS CREDITED WITH 137 UNITS OF GOOD BLOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT -- WHERE IS HE? THERE HE IS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONTRIBUTED 296 GOOD UNITS.

AND JUST AS A REMINDER, AS YOU APPROACH THE PODIUM, PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH OR YELL INTO THE MICROPHONE. >> Mayor Muns: AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD, THE CITY OF PLANO AND THIS COUNCIL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM OUR CITIZENS VERY SERIOUSLY. WE ALWS WELCOME FEEDBACK ON HOW WE CAN MAKE OUR COMMUNITY BETTER. WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR ROLE AS THE CITY GOVERNMENT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECTING OUR CITIZENS' TIME AND TAXPAYERS' RESOURCES. WE STRIVE TO CONDUCT OURSELVES WITH EXCELLENCE AND FOCUS OUR AGENDA ON CITY BUSINESS. AND IN RETURN, WE ASK THAT THOSE THAT COME BEFORE US PROVIDE THE SAME LEVEL OF RESPECT. THANK YOU. >> City Clerk: OUR FIRST SPEAKER THIS EVENING IS SHARON OVERALL. >> THE SCIENCE IS OFTEN BEHIND WHAT COMMON SENSE TELLS US. A FRIEND OF MY HUSBAND'S WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH AN ADRENAL GLAND TUMOR. ADRENAL TUMOR CANCER HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WITH SYMPTOMS THAT INCREASE THE RISK OF CERTAIN CANCERS. SHE KNOWS NEITHER OF HER PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ANY OF THE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH. SHE IS A SMOKER ONLY WHEN YOU PUT IN CAN SMOKING CAUSE ADRENAL TUMORS DOES IT SAY SMOKING HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AS A RISK FACTOR FOR ADRENAL CORTICAL CARCINOMA. THEY OCCUR WHEN SOMETHING CREATES CHANGES IN THE DNA OF AN ADRENAL GLAND. AND WE ALREADY KNOW THAT CIGARETTE SMOKE DOES CHANGE YOUR DNA. WHEN I READ ABOUT ADRENAL GLAND TUMORS AND CAUSES -- AND I HAD TO HUNT IF CIGARETTE SMOKE WAS A USE, I WAS REMINDED MY FATHER HAD A TUMOR IN 2001. WHEN I RESEARCHED CAUSES, SMOKING WAS NOT EVEN LISTED. AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH WITH A DIAL-UP MOW DENIM, I CAME ACROSS A FEW ARTICLES THAT SAID THAT SMOKING COULD BE A CAUSE. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY. IF YOU LOOK UP CAUSES OF KIDNEY CANCER, NUMBER TWO IS SMOKING. IF HE HAD QUIT SMOKING IN 2001, MAYBE HE WOULD NOT HAVE DIED FROM LUNG CANCER FIVE YEARS LATER. WE KNOW THAT SECOND HAND CIGARETTE SMOKE KILLS INNOCENT PEOPLE. PER THE CDC, WE KNOW THAT SECOND-HAND SMOKE KILLS OVER 41,000 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE MAJORITY OF DEATHS ARE FROM LUNG CANCER AND CORONARY HEART DISEASE. AN ADDITIONAL 600 INFANTS DIE FROM SIDS -- I'M SORRY, DIE FROM PRENATAL CONDITIONS AND 400 INFANTS DIE FROM SUDDEN INFANT DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES AND OVER 0 DIE FROM RESIDENTIAL FIRES CAUSED BY SMOKERS. THESE ARE THE INNOCENT DEATHS CAUSED BY SMOKERS THAT ARE ATTRIBUTED TO SECOND-HAND SMOKE. SINCE SCIENCE IS ALWAYS BEHIND ON CAUSES, THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS MORE EACH YEAR THAT ARE CAUSED BY SMOKERS THAT ARE NOT ATTRIBUTED TO IT. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS PROTECT THE INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM SECOND-HAND SMOKE. YOUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT PEOPLE. IN TEN OR TWENTY YEARS WHEN SCIENCE CATCHES UP AND STARTS COUNTING THE SUDDEN HEART ATTACKS AND ASTHMA AND EMPHYSEMA DEATHS CAUSED BY SECOND-HAND SMOKE, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE pS MORE DEATHS IF WE HAD PASSED LAWS OUTLAWING SECOND-HAND SMOKE EXPOSURE TO NONSMOKERS. NONSMOKERS SHOULD NEVER UNWILLINGLY BE EXPOSED TO SECOND-HAND SMOKE. THANK YOU. >> City Clerk: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ALEXANDER STEIN. >> HELLO, PLANO CITY COUNCIL. REMEMBER ME? MY NAME IS ALEXANDER STEIN, AND I AM A SCHOOLTEACHER. I WANT TO APOLOGIZE THAT I HAVE TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO COMMUNICATE THIS EVENING, BUT MY THROAT IS VERY SORE FOR SOME NASTY GONORRHEA IN MY THAT THAT I G FROM MY TRIP TO EL PASO, ALL THE SEX TRAFFICKERS AT THE BORDER.

ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE ME REMOVED FROM THE BUILDING? >> Mayor Muns: YOUR TIME IS UP. >> ARE YOU HAVING ME -- >> Mayor Muns: YOU'VE HAD PLENTY OF TIME -- >> WHEN I FILE MY LAWSUIT, I WANT TO KNOW, AM I BEING PHYSICALLY REMOVED FROM THIS BUILDING? >> Mayor Muns: MAYBE. >> AM I BEING PHYSICALLY REMOVED? >> Mayor Muns: YES. >> SO YOU AGREE? I'M GOING TO SUE EVEBODY HE. YOU BETTER NOTOUCH ME, OFFICER. YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH ME AND TRY TO INTIMIDATE ME IN MY ROOM. YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF BALLS, MAYOR.

I AM CHRISTINA SEBASTIAN, LAND RECORDS PLANNING MANAGER. ZONING CASE 2023-10 IS A ZONING CASE TO DEFINE A FORMAL PROCESS TO DETERMINE NONCONFORMITIES AND TO APPEAL THOSE DETERMINATIONS. TH COMMISSION CALLED A PUBLIC HEARING ON MAY 15, 2023, TO INITIATE THIS CASE. THE ZONING ORDINANCE OUTLINES THREE INSTANCES IN WHICH A NONCONFORMING MAY EXIST. AT THE TIME OF INITIAL ZONING SO THE USE EXISTED BEFORE THE LAND WAS EVER REZONED. AT A CHANGE OF ZONING, WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON, WHERE THE USE WAS A CONFORMING USE, BUTS THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS CHANGED SINCE ESTABLISHMENT. OR ANNEXATION, SIMILAR TO INITIAL ZONING, WHERE AGAIN, THE USE EXISTED BEFORE THE LAND BECAME PART OF PLANO. WHEN THESE ISSUES COME UP, THE CURRENT PROCESS TYPICALLY IS TO NONCONFORMING USE, STAFF TO RESEARCH THE SITE, PREVIOUS ZONING REGULATIONS, CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. WE MAY REQUEST FROM APPLICANTS AS NEEDED BUT IS DONE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. DETERMINE NONCONFORMING STATUS AND ALSO ALLOWS APPEALS TO THOSE DETERMINATIONS THROUGH THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, IN COMPLIANCE WITH CHAPTER 211 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. THIS CASE WAS FOUND TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH LAND USE ACTION ONE AND PROPERTY STANDARDS ACTION NINE, SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN.

COLE, CAN YOU -- IS THIS ABOUT THE PROPERTY AT JUPITER AND LOS RIOS? >> 6512 JUPITER ROAD. >> THAT'S WHERE YOUR COMMENTS WERE FOCUSE THAT'S WHATOU'RE ASKING, THAT THE CITY ACQUIRE THAT PROPERTY? >> YES. >> ITEM S IS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. THE COUNCIL HAVE GIVEN US THE AUTHORITY TO GO FORWARD WITH THE ACQUISITION OF THAT. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. OKAY. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. >> City Clerk: ITEM NUMBER 6. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTON TO ACEPT THE CERTIFIED APPRAISAL ROLLS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 FOR COLLIN COUNTY AND DENTON COUNTY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> WE HAVE RECEIVED BOTH THE COUNTIES' APPRAISAL ROLLS. WITHIN YOUR PACKET, YOU HAVE ALL THE NUMBERS. EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW TOTALS 57.4 BILLION, AS FAR AS YOUR ASSSED PROPTY VALUE FOR THIS NEXT YEAR. OUT OF THAT, YOU HAVE NEW GROWTH OF $737 MILLION AND EXISTING -- THE EXISTING TAX BASE IS GOING UP $4.7 BILLION. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE ROLL ON THE NEXT ITEM. >> Mayor Muns: ANY QUESTIONS FOR KAREN ON THIS? GO AHEAD, RICK >> Grady: I'M SURE IT IS, KAREN, BUT WHAVE THE FINAL-FINAL NUMBERS NOW? >> YES, THESE ARE THE FINAL-FINAL NUMBERS. BOTH OF THEM, WHEN I STOOD UP IN FRONT OF YOU -- I GUESS IT WAS JULY 26th. WE HAD COLLIN IN. WE DID HAVE DENTON, BUT WE RECEIVED IT WHEN WE WERE WALKING DOWN HERE. THIS IS TOTAL. EVERYTHING'S TOGETHER. >> Grady: GREAT, THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM. >> City Clerk: THIS ONE IS AN ORDINANCE OR A RESOLUTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADOPTED. >> Mayor Muns: OH, OKAY. >> MOTION TO ADOPT. >>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. [ LAUGHTER ]. >> Mayor Muns: I THINK THERE WAS A MOTION AND A SECOND. >> THERE WAS. [ LAUGHTER ]. >> Mayor Muns: ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. ITEM SEVEN. >> City Clerk: ITEM SEVEN, DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING PROPOSED AD VALOREM TAX RATE >> AS I JUST MENTIONED, WE RECEIVED BOTH THE FINAL FROM COLLIN AND DENTON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICTS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, CERTIFIED TAX ROLL CAME IN AT $57.4 BILLION. THIS IS AN INCREASE OVERALL OF 10.5%. YOU ALSO HAVE $1.1 BILLION GOING INTO YOUR TIFs. $4.5 MILLION WILL BE GOING IN F. WE WANTED TO BRING SOMETHING UP. THIS ACTUALLY STARTED BACK IN SENATE BILL 2 WHEN THAT FIRST STARTED BACK IN, WHAT, 2020/'21? ANYWAY, THIS YEAR, AND MANY OTHER CITIES ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. WE HAVE THREE BILLION DOLLARS IN CHAPTER 42 LAWSUITS. WHAT THESE ARE IS THE COMPANIES, THE MAJORITY OF THEM, ARE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THEY'VE GONE AND THEY PROTESTED THROUGH THE ARV. THE ARV HAS DECIDED ONE WAY, AND THEY STILL DIDN'T LIKE IT. SO THEY ARE PROTESTING THEIR VALUES THROUGH A LAWSUIT. SO RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE $3 BILLION IN THAT. THIS DOES GO INTO YOUR EFFECTIVE -- OR NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE. THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 50% OVER LAST YEAR. WE HAD 1.5 LAST YEAR. THIS YEAR WE HAVE 3 BILLION. ALL THE OTHER CITIES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THIS IS WE'VE ALREADY INCLUDED IT IN THE CALCULATION. THEY HAVE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 15th TO GO FILE THEIR LAWSUIT. THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS, SAY, I'M A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. AND THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT SAYS MY PROPERTY IS WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT I DISAGREE WITH IT. AND I ONLY THINK IT'S WORTH $300 MILLION OR $300,000. THEY CAN GO AND FILE THE LAWSUIT. WHAT IS CONCERNING FOR US, ON WHAT THEY THINK IT IS UNTIL S THE LAWSUIT GOES THROUGH THE SYSTEM. SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE Y'ALL AWARE THAT WE ARE HAVING SIZEABLE INCREASES, AND SO IS EVERYBODY ELSE, WITH THE LAWSUITS. OKAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU HAVE $221.7 MILLION GOING IN FOR PROPERTY TAXES. THIS IS EXCLUDING WHAT'S GOING IN FOR YOUR TIFs AND EXCLUDING THE 65 AND OVER CALCULATION. THIS ALSO INCLUDES $737 MILLION IN NEW CONSTRUCTION GOING IN. YOUR TAXABLE VALUE, THE $737 MILLION FOR NEW GROWTH, 9% WAS FOR YOUR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. LAST YEAR THAT WAS 12%. THIS YEAR, COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR 91% OF THE NEW GROWTH. LAST YEAR WAS 88%. ON YOUR EXISTING PROPERTY VALUE, THAT 4.7 BILLION, THE MAJORITY OF IT IS 63% ON RESIDENTIAL ACCOUNTS. LA YEAR THAT WAS 68%. COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR 37% OF YOUR EXISTING PROPERTY VALUE GOING ON. LAST YEAR IT WAS 32%. RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL NOW IS 50/50. YOU WILL SEE BEFORE COVID, WE WERE AT 53/47. AFTER COVID, WITH RESIDENTIAL, EVERYBODY'S MOVING INTO THIS MARKET, AND IT HAS THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES. THE MARKET VALUES GOING UP AND UP AND UP. SO THAT HAS TURNED THE TABLES ON NOW 50% OF OUR REVENUES COMING IN FROM RESIDENTIAL SIDE VERSUS 50 ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. THIS IS ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THIS OUT OF THAT $221 MILLION, 49.7% OR 110 MILLION IS COMING IN FROM YOUR SINGLE FAMILY. THE COMMERCIAL IS THE ORANGE BOX. THAT'S 85.2 MILLION OR 38.4%. THAT IS YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ALSO INCLUDES MULTI-FAMILY. YOUR MULTI-FAMILY IS THE GREEN BOX. AND THEY NOW ARE PAYING IN 26.3 MILLION OR 11.9%. WHEREAS LAST YEAR THEY WERE PAYING 24 OR 11.6. LET'S GET INTO THE TAX RATE REAL QUICK. WE FOLLOW, OF COURSE, THE STATE OF TEXAS FOLLOWS TRUTH IN TAXATION. PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR INCREASES A VALUES AND TO BE NOTIFIED OF THEIR ESTIMATED TAXES. A TAXING UNIT MUST PUBLISH ITS NO NEW TAX RATE AND VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE BEFORE ADOPTING AN ACTUAL TAX RATE. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT HERE IN A MINUTE. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN A MINUTE. A TAXING UNIT MUST ALSO PUBLISH SPECIAL NOTICES AND HOLD ONE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE ADOPTING THE TAX RATE. AND THEN A TAXING UNIT IS REQUIRED TO HOLD AN ELECTION TO APPROVE A TAX RATE THAT GOES OVER YOUR VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE. OKAY, WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TAX RATES GOING ON. AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO TALK ABOUT A THIRD ONE HERE IN A MINUTE THAT WE'VE NEVER REALLY DEALT WITH BUT A LOT OF THE CITIES ARE DOING IT THIS YEAR. AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHY HERE IN A MINUTE. THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, WHICH IS FORMERLY THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATE, IS A CALCULATED RATE THAT PROVIDES THE TAXING ENTITY WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE IT RECEIVES IN THE YEAR BEFORE ON BOTH PROPERTIES. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE NEW CONSTRUCTION. IF YOUR PROPERTY RISES, YOUR NO NEW REVENUE RATE WILL GO DOWN AND VICE VERSA. SO BACK WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE GREAT ECONOMIC RECESSION AND OUR PROPERTIES DID GO DOWN, OUR EFFECTIVE TAX RATE AT THAT TIME DID GO UP. THE RESULTING TAX RATE SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAST YEAR'S REVENUE AND THE CURRENT YEAR'S APPRAISED PROPERTY VALUE. YOUR NO NEW REVENUE RATE RIGHT NOW IS 38.65 CENTS. THERE'S THE SEASAW EFFECT. APPRAISED PROPERTY GOES DOWN, NO NEW REVENUE RATE GOES UP. YOUR VOTER APPROVAL RATE, WHICH IS FORMERLY THE ROLLBACK TAX RATE, IS THE CALCULATED MAXIMUM TAX RATE ALLOWED BY LAW WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE PROVIDES CITIES WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAX REVENUE SPENT THE PREVIOUS YEAR FOR DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, OKAY? SO YOU CAN GO IN AND YOU SET YOUR DEBT RATE. AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE CAN GO OVER TO OPERATIONS. YOU'RE ALLOWED AN EXTRA 3.5% TO GO FOR OPERATIONS. YOU MUST HAVE AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER IF YOU DECIDE TO GO OVER THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE. THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE IS 40.60 CENTS. NOW, IN HB-2, MANY YEARS AGO -- OR SENATE BILL 2, THEY INTRODUCED A CONCEPT CALLED THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE TAX INCREMENT RATE. NOW, NOT A LOT OF CITIES HAVE USED THIS. WE HAVEN'T USED THIS. THE LAST FOUR YEARS YOU HAVE PASSED FORTH THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE. ONE YEAR WE DID A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE WE HAD SO MANY CHAPTER 42 LITIGATIONS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE FORM ALLOWS YOU -- IT HAS A WHOLE CALCULATION IN IT. SINCE YOU HAVE DONE EVERY YEAR THE NO NEW TAX RATE, IT LOOKS BACK THREE YEARS, AND YOUR VOTER APPROVAL RATE WITH THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PART IS 43.55 CENTS. NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. BACK IN 2021, WHEN ALL THIS STARTED, THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE WAS 45.76. YOU PASSED 44.82, OKAY? SO YOU'VE GOT TO CARRY FORWARD AN INCREMENT OF NEARLY A PENNY. 21/22, ONCE AGAIN, YOU PASSED THROUGH THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE AT THAT TIME WAS 46.17 CENTS. AND WE HAVE AN INCREMENT OF NEARLY HALF A CENT. 22/23, WHICH WAS LAST YEAR, PASSED THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE, WHICH WAS AT 41.76. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE AT THAT TIME WAS 43.76 CENTS. SO AGAIN, WE HADN INCREMENT OF .0142. WHEN YOU ADD ALL THOSE TOGETHER, IF FOR SOME REASON YOU WANTED TO ADD THAT ON TO YOUR VOTER APPROVAL RATE THIS YEAR, YOU COULD GO UP TO THE 43.55 CENTS. SO RIGHT NOW, WITHIN THE BUDGET IS 41.76 CENTS, WHICH CLEARLY IS OVER THAT 40.60 CENTS BY 1.16 CENTS. ANYWAY, SEVERAL CITIES ARE DOING THIS. SO WE WANTED TO JUST BRING IT FORTH TO YOU AND LET YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK BACK THREE YEARS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THOUGH, WHAT HAPPENS IS THE STATE LAW ALLOWS YOU TO DO THE INCREMENT TO BE APPLIED FOR FUTURE TAX RATES WITHIN THE THREE YEARS. AFTER THREE YEARS, THOUGH, ANY OF THAT INCREMENT IS FORFEITED. SO THIS YEAR, WE GO WITH THE 400 CENTS. GREAT. THAT 2021, THAT NEARLY PENNY, THAT LOPS OFF. AND WE BEGIN AGAIN. SO NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE UP HERE AND WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT 21/22, 22/23, AND THEN WHATEVER IS APPROVED THIS YEAR. SO ANYWAY, SEVERAL CITIES ARE USING THIS THIS YEAR. WE JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP TO Y'ALL AND LET YOU KNOW YOU DO HAVE A TOOL LIKE THIS YOU CAN USE. RIGHT NOW, OUR CERTIFIED TRUTH IN TAXATION RATES, OF COURSE, WE GOT T 38.65 CENTS. THAT'S YOUR NO NEW REVENUE RATE. WE WOULD NEED TO REDUCE THE BUDGET BY $17 MILLION IN ORDER FOR THAT TO BE PASSED. THAT'S ON THE OPERATING SIDE. THE DEBT RATE IS SET AT 11.5 CENTS. WE CANNOT TOUCH THE DEBT. YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE 17 OUT OF THE OPERATING BUDGET. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, WHICH IS THE NORMAL VOTER APPROVAL RATE, WHICH ALLOWS YOU THE 3.5%, IS 40.60 CENTS. YOU NEED TO REDUCE $6.4 MILLION FROM THE OPERATING BUDGET. IF FOR SOME REASON WE DID THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE WITH THE TAX INCREMENT AND WENT TO THE 43.55 CENTS, IT WOULD RAISE AN ADDITIONAL $16.9 MILLION. THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED RATE RIGHT NOW IS 41.76 CENTS. HOWEVER, THE RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT IS TO GOO THE 40.60 CENTS. THE OPERATING RATE, THEN, WOULD BE THE 29.10 CENTS. HOW WE WOULD COME UP WITH THAT $6.4 MILLION IS TO DEDUCT $5 MILLION FROM THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE TRANSFER AND CAP THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TRANSFER AT $10 MILLION. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SCHEDULED 11.4 MILLION TO GO IN THERE. WE WOULD CAP IT AT 10. THIS WOULD RAISE THE $6.4 MILLION TO GO TO THAT 40.60 CENTS. JUST GOING TO RUN THROUGH A COUPLE OF SLIDES. RIGHT NOW FOR THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER -- AND THIS IS USING THEIR HOMESTEADED PROPERTIES, OKAY? 41.76 CENTS. 41.76 CENTS. THIS IS BASED ON THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE. OF COURSE, YOUR TAX RATE WON'T GO UP. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR EXISTING PROPERTIES ARE GOING UP, IT WOULD GO UP $144. IF WE WERE TO GO TO THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, YOU WOULD LOWER THE TAX RATE 1.16 CENTS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE LOWERING THE RATE, BECAUSE THE AVERAGE HOME IS GOING UP, THEY'RE GOING TO SEE A $100 INCREASE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. IF WE WERE TO GO AND FIND THE $16 MILLION -- OR $17 MILLION TO CUT OUT OF THE BUDGET, YOU WOULD LOWER THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BY 3 CENTS. ONCE AGAIN, THEY'D STILL SEE AN INCREASE OF $28 BECAUSE THE EXISTING PROPERTY VALUE IS GOING UP. IF FOR SOME REASON -- SORRY THIS ISN'T LABELED CORRECTLY. THIS IS THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE. YOU COULD INCREASE THE RATE BY 1.79 CENTS, AND THE TAX BILL FOR THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER WOULD GO UP $211. NOW, THE WHOLE REASON WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS THIS IS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN -- LET ME SHOW YOU THE FORM. THERE'S A FORM WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THE PAPER, AND IT'S GOING TO GO IN ON THURSDAY. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE NEED TO KNOW AND FOR THE NEW ONES, ONCE YOU SET THIS RATE, YOU CAN'T GO UP FROM IT. OKAY? YOU CAN GO DOWN. BUT YOU CANNOT GO UP FROM IT. SO SINCEOU HAVE THAT TAX INCREMENT AVAILABLE, YOU COULD PUT IN THERE 41.76 CENTS. AND THEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, Y'ALL ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHICH WAY YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO GO. OR YOU COULD PUT IN THE NORMAL VOTER APPROVAL RATE, 40.60 CENTS. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DISCUSS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE. SO THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON WE ARE HERE TONIGHT. IT'S NOT TO DECIDE WHAT YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO DO. OH, AND WE ALSO NEED TO DETERMINE -- BY LAW, WE NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE PUBLIC HEARING. THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THOUGH, WE HAVE HAD PRETTY MUCH A PUBLIC HEARING EVERY TIME. SO IT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION TO HAVE ONE SEPTEMBER 11th WHEN YOU ACTUALLY ADOPT THE BUDGET, BUT ALSO HAVE ONE SO THIS IS REALLY WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR DISCUSSION ON WHAT THE TAX RATE IS THAT YOU WANT GO IN THAT FORM. MARK, DO YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING? >> YES, PLEASE. FIRST OFLL, THANK YOU, KAREN, AS ALWAYS, GREAT JOB IN EXPLAINING SOME VERY TECHNICAL CALCULATIONS THAT THE STATE MAKES US GO THROUGH. I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS CONCERN COUNCIL WITH BALANCING AFFORDABILITY WITH CITY SERVICES, AND, YOU KNOW, HOW PROPERTY TAX FITS INTO THAT EQUATION, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT REVENUE SOURCE BUT NOT OUR ONLY REVENUE SOURCE OBVIOUSLY WITH SALES TAX. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO ALERT YOU TO, I'VE HEARD THIS FROM COUNSEL VERY SPECIFICALLY THIS YEAR, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY, THERE'S BEEN A STRONG MEMBER WHICH EVERY SINGLE COUNCILMEMBER MAKING SURE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, WE'RE REALIZING THE INFLATIONARY EFFECTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. I'VE ASKED OUR HR DEPARTMENT TO GO OUT AND RESURVEY SOME OF THE CITIES AROUND US. WHAT IS TYPICAL PLANO WILL SET THEIR BUDGET, AND EVERYBODY ELSE STARTS SETTING THEIR BUDGET RIGHT AFTERWARDS IN TERMS OF COMPENSATION. THERE TENDS TO BE A ONE UPS MANSHIP WITH OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES, WHAT WE FOUND IS THE INITIAL 3% THAT WE PUT IN THERE HAS BEEN UNUPPED BY A NUMBER OF CITIES AROUND US. SO IT IS WRE SEEING ISES OF FOUR AND FIVE AND IN SOME CASES EVEN UP TO 6% TO SOME OF THE SURROUNDING CITIES. I KNOW HOW CRITICAL IT IS FOR US TO KEEP QUALITY TALENTED EXPERIENCED STAFF MEMBERS ON HAND, SO THAT WE ARE CARRYING OUT OUR BUSINESS THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD. I DO THINK THAT IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING THE MAXIMUM THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE, THAT THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY WANT TO HAVE ON THAT DURING THIS BUDGET SEASON. I WANT TO MAKE SURE Y'ALL ARE FULLY INFORMED ON IT. EACH PERCENTAGE POINT THAT GOES UP ON SALARIES IS $2.5 MILLION ACROSS ALL FUNDS, SO THAT'S WHAT IT COSTS US TO GIVE A 1% RAISE. WHILE IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE ACHIEVED THIS FALL, WHETHER IT'S PROGRAMMING FOR THE SPRING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE KNOWING THAT WE'RE IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR LABOR, KNOWING THAT LABOR IS SCARCE RIGHT NOW AND THAT WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE BEST FIRST RESPONDERS, THE FIRST ACCOUNTANTS, THE BEST FOLKS OUT THERE, WE CAN PROVIDE OUR SERVICES RELIABLY, I THINK IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE FULLY INFORMED WHEN YOU'RE MAKING THAT DECISION THAT WHEN YOU GO FORWARWITH THIS, KNOWING WHAT WE KNEW, IF THE INFORMATION IS UPDATED, IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE FULLY INFORMED AS WELL, AS YOU'RE SETTING THAT TAX RATE, AGAIN KAREN SAYS YOU CAN GO DOWN, BUT YOU CANNOT GO UP ONCE YOU SET THAT, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OF THAT, I KNOW LASHAUN AND HER TEAM IN HR ARE PULLING THAT INFORMATION TOGETHER FOR US, THAT MAY BE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING THE MAXIMUM RATE THAT YOU'RE PUTTING TOGETHER. >> JUST TO LET Y'ALL KNOW, I'VE ALREADY TURNED IN AUTOPSY THE PAPERWORK, IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND IT'S BEEN SUBMITTEDO COINOUNTY. IT'S ALREADY OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT. THE -- I HAVE TO FILL OUT THAT TAX INCREMENT SECTION, SO IT'S ALREADY OUT THERE THAT YOUR VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE WITH THE INC INCREMENT IS THE 43.55. SO IF YOU WERE TO PUT IT IN HERE ONCE AGAIN LIKE WE SAID, YOU CAN GO DOWN, YOU JUST CAN'T GO UP. >> Mayor Muns: ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR KAREN? ANTHONY? >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU MAYOR. JUST A QUESTION. THANK YOU FOR THAT EXCELLENT SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATION. THERE'S A LOT THERE THAT I'LL TAKE ADDITIONAL TIME TO DIGEST, BUT ONE THING AS AN INITIAL MATTER IS THAT I NOTICED -- AND I THINK IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT OF A TREND, THAT THE INTEREST IN SYNCING RATE IS NOT DECREASING, WE'RE DECREASING O&M RATE, THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, WHICH MEANS THAT THE PROPORTION OF OUR PROPERTY TAX REVENUE THAT'S GOING TO DEBT SERVICE HAS BEEN INCREASING OVER TIME, AM I CORRECT THAT THAT'S A TREND THAT WE' SEEING -- >> YEAH, WE'VE BEEN INCREASING THE O&M SIDE, YES. FOR THIS YEAR, THOUGH, WE KEPT IT EXACTLY THE SAME, TAT'S WHAT THAT 41.76 CENTS IS. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S IN THERE AT WHAT 36.2. >> Ricciardelli: I GOT YA'. I'M SORRY, AT THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, WE'D BE LOWER THE O&M, BUT NOT THE I AND S, AND SO I GUESS WHAT I WAS WONDERING IS ARE WE SEEING A TREND OVER TIME WHERE DEBT SERVICE IS REQUIRING A LARGER AND LARGER PROPORTION OF OUR ANNUAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE. >> OH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING -- >> Ricciardelli: THINK IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE. >> THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE HAVE BEEN, BECAUSE WE HAD THAT LARGE BOND REFERENDUM BACK IN 2021. THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING PROPERTY TAX BASE WENT UP, WE DID NOT INCREASE THE DEBT RATE, SO IT'S BEEN THE SAME THE LAST TWO YEARS. PRIOR TO THAT, WE HAVE BEEN GOING UP. WE WERE PLANNING ON PHASING IT IN LIKE .25 PER YEAR. WE JUST THEN HAVE TO DO IT THIS YEAR. >> BUT COUNCILMAN TO GO BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, WITH AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, I THINK YOU AND -- THE COMMUNITY IS WELL AWARE OF THE ORANGE CONES OUT THERE. I GET NOTES PRETTY FREQUENTLY ABOUT IT, BUT BEING AGGRESSIVE ABOUT KEEPING UP WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT A LOT OF CITIES HAVE DONE WHEN THEY'VE REACHED KIND OF THE AGE THAT PLANO HAS. I KNOW COUNCIL IS CONCERNED WITH MAKING SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN OUR VIBRANCY AND VITALITY AND THOSE ROADS, WHEN WE SEE THE BUCKLING, WHEN WE SEE THE MASSIVE CRACKS AND THE POT HOLES, IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING UP WITH THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, REBUILDING ROADS IS A LOT MORE COMPLEX THAN BUILDING A GREENFIELD ROAD. I KEEP SAYING AS YOU PULL UP A PIECE OF CONCRETE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF ISSUES, UTILITY COMPLEX, ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, AND IT'S A MORE EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. OUR CONCRETE, OUR LABOR, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE CONTRACTING FOR HAS CREATED SOME OF THAT UNCERTAINTY, BUT I THINK TO YOUR POINT, WE HAVE SEE ME COMING INTO THE DEBT SIDE OF THINGS IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION, MARK, CERTAINLY WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR INFRASTRUCTURE VIBRANT, I KNOW THE GREAT CHARTS THAT WE'VE SEEN, WE'LL SEE ONE PERHAPS LATER DURING THE CIP PRESENTATION, ABOUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO GET A ROAD FROM A C BACK TO AN A, VERSUS IF YOU LET IT GO GO AN F AND HAVE TO DO A REBUILD, SO I THINK THAT'S A POINT WELL TAKEN. .>> Tu: I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE START WITH THE HIGHEST THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE, AND THAT WAY WE HAVE A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN CASE OF ANY -- ANYTHING THAT COMES UP, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THIS IS NOT THE FINAL TAX RATE RIGHT? I MEAN -- >> THAT IS CORRECT. ALL WE'RE DOING IS PUBLISHING, BUT ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN'T GO DOWN. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO -- >> Tu: YOU CAN'T GO UP. >> YEAH, YOU CAN'T GO UP. SO SORRY. SAID, I'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED EVERYTHING, IS A 43.55. >> Tu: THAT IS WHAT I RECOMMEND WE START OFF WITH, THAT WAY GIVES US A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY TO GO DOWN AND THEN HOPEFULLY -- >> WE'LL BE DISCUSSING, WE HAVE THAT BUDGET WORK SESSION, WE HAVE A WHOLE SECTION TO DISCUSS THE PROPERTY TAX RATE WITHIN THAT, AND OF COURSE WE'LL PROBABLY BE DISCUSSING IT AUGUST 28th TOO. >> Tu: THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION MAYOR. DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT IT. >> Smith : BEFORE WE MOVE OFF OF THAT, I KNOW KAR SA YOU DID ORIGINALLY PROPOSE 41.76, ARE YOU STILL PROPOSING THAT FOR US OR DO YOU THINK THE 43, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURE, WE HAVE OUR BUDGET IN SESSION THIS WEEK OR -- >> COUNCILMAN, EVEN AT THE 41.76 WAS THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL, THAT DID NOT REQUIRE ANY CUTS. IF COUNCIL DIRECTS 41.76, I'M NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT AT ALL, I'LL FIND WAYS TO MAKE THAT WORK. I DO THINK THAT THE SALARY SURVEY INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT, AND SALARIES ARE TYPICALLY 60 TO 70% OF OUR ENTIRE BUDGE SCE WE'RE A SERVICE INDUSTRY. I THINK IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP UP. AGAIN, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO GO ABOUT THAT, WITHIN THE 41.76, IF COUNCIL DIRECTS WE NEED TO SHIFT SOME THINGS AROUND TO FIND WAYS TO SHIFT SOME OF THAT TOWARD COMPENSATION, WE CAN DO THAT. BUT 41.76, I THINK I'M STILL COMFORTABLE WITH AS A RECOMMENDATION, BUT I THINK THE 43.35 OR -- >> 43.55. >> GIVES ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY FOR COUNCIL. >> Smith : I APPRECIATE 'VE TKED EXTENSIVELY ABOUT BEING SURE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY FOLKS ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF, AND WE KEEP THE TALENT THAT WE HAVE, SO WHAT I HEAR YOU SAYING, POSSIBILITY WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY DOING SOME THINGS AND IF WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEX ROOM IN THERE, THERE'S A BETTER POSSIBILITY TO DO THAT. >> YES, SIR. >> Smith : OKAY. THANK YOU, MARK. >> Mayor Muns: ANTHONY. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU MAYOR. SO FIRST I WANT TO SAY THAT I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT TAKING CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES IS A HIGH PROPERTY, CITY MANAGER ISRAELSON AND IAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS, I THINK EVEN AT THAT VOTER APPROVAL RATE OF 40.06 THERE IS SOME THINGS WE CAN DO. I BELIEVE THE BUDGET CURRENTLY INCLUDES $2 MILLION TO POTENTIALLY IMPLEMENT A COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY STUDY OR BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT, YOU KNOW, AT THAT RATE OF $2.5 MILLION PER 1% THAT, YOU KNOW, BY ITSELF, IF WE WERE TO IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY IT, WOULD BE AN INCREASE THAT WOULD GET US UP TO 3.8. THE OTHER THING WE CAN LOOK AT OF COURSE IS BECAUSE THE BUDGET IS A RISK MODEL, AND BECAUSE WE TRYO BUDGET CAUTIOUSLY, IT IS TYPICALLY THE CASE IN FACT I THINK IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE, SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL, THAT OUR EXPENSES COME IN SOMEWHAT LESS THAN WE'VE BUDGETED THEM AT, AND OUR REVENUES TYPICALLY COME IN HIGHER THAN WE'VE BUDGETED, WHICH AN APPROPRIATE MEASURE IS A GOOD THING, BECAUSE IT MEANS WE'RE NOT BUDGETING, YOU KNOW, TO THE POINT WHERE ONE THING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS AND WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON TOMORROW, SO WE DON'T -- YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO GET THERE, THE POINT WE MAY HAVE -- WE HAVE THE 2 MILLION CURRENTLY, WE TYPICALLY DO HAVE SURPLUSES AS THE YEAR GOES ALONG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY ENABLE US TO DO A MID YEAR PAY RAISE IN ADDITION TO A 3.8% PAY RAISE AND THERE MAY ALSO BE OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD MOVE AROUND IN THE BUDGET THAT MIGHT FACILITATE THAT. JUST A SHORT DISCUSSION ON THE -- THE IDEA OF WHAT STATE LAW ALLOWS US TO DO, TAKING THAT INCREMENT OF WHERE WE WERE UNDER THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE IN PRY YEARS AND USING IT TO GO OVER THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE FOR THIS YEAR , I'M SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SEEING SPREADSHEETS THAT CITY MANAGER ISRAELSON HAVE BEEN SENT OUT -- BEEN SENDING OUT THAT ARE RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS THAT I'VE BEEN ASKING, GOING BACK MORE THAN THREE YEARS, BECAUSE WE SAW THOSE NUMBERS FOR THREE YEARS. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, WE'VE BEEN AT OR NEAR THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE THE PRIOR FOUR YEARS. IF YOU GO BACK BEFORE THAT, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE -- THERE WERE INCASE BUDGET INCREASES, YOU KNOW, BEYOND INFLATION AND POPULATION GROWTH TO A GREATER EXTENT IN THOSE YEARS. THE WAY THAT I'VE VIEWED THIS WHOLE TRAJECTORY IS THAT WHAT WE'VE DONE THESE PAST FOUR YEARS, HAS BEEN IMPORTANT TO BALANCE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF FOR RESIDENTS WITH EXCELLENT CITY SERVICES AND THAT IT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BROUGHT THINGS BACK TO WHAT I WOULD VIEW AS AN EQUILIBRIUM. SO I WOULD BE PHILOSOPHICALLY OPPOSED TO BORROWING FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE IN PRIOR YEARS TO PROVIDE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND THEN PUTTING IT BACK ON RESIDENT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT JUST THE WAY THINGS WORK OUT WITH THE MATH THIS YEAR, LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT RESIDENTIAL APPRAISALS I BELIEVE HAVE OUTPACED COMMERCIAL APPRAISALS, THAT MEANS THAT THE NUMBERS WE'VE SEEN EVEN AT THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE OF 40.60, THE AVERAGE RESIDENT WITH A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION BUT NO OTHER EXEMPTIONS IS ALREADY LOOKING AT AN INCREASE OF $100 FOR ABOUT 7% ON THEIR PRERTY TAX BILL WHICH OF COURSE MORE THAN THE CURRENT, YOU KNOW, APPROXIMATELY 3% OF INFLATION THAT WE'RE SEEING, SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD IN FAVOR OF PUBLISHING FOR ALL OF THOSE REASONS AND MANY OTHERS THAT I CAN KEEP DRONING ON ABOUT, I SEE THE MAYOR PRO TEM SMILING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS I COULD. FOR THOSE REASONS AND MANY OTHER REASONS, I REALLY THINK THAT WE SHOULD TIE OURSELF, PUBLISH THAT RATE OF 40.60, WHICH WOULD BE THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE AND SAY THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BORROW FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE IN PRIOR YEARSO DELIVER PROPERTY TAX RELIEF TO RESIDENTS. >> Prince: CAN I JUST ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION. ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT ON THIS TAX FORM, WHICH I THINK THIS IS NOT -- WHAT I'M SEEING RIGHT NOW, IT SAYS THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE OF 40.60 -- >> YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT. WHEN I DID THIS WHOLE PRESENTATION, WE HAD DISCUSSED JUST KEEPING THE 40.60, THEN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAY, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CALLING ME, A LOT OF CITIES ARE USING THE TAX INCREMENT. >> Prince:UT YOUR SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU WOULD PUT AS THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE THE .4 -- >> I'M PUTTING WHATEVER Y'ALL TELL ME TO PUT. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THIS IS NOT ME SAYING ANYTHING. THE VOTER -- THE -- WHATEVER Y'ALL DECIDE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, I WILL PUT THAT AS YOUR PROPOSED, AND IF IT'S OVER THIS 40.60, WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, IT WILL BE THE 43.55 CENTS. >> Prince: THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO CLARIFY. YOU'REOING TO CHANGE THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE FROM 40.60 UP TO THE INCREMENT, RIGHT? >> THAT'S CORRECT. YOU WILL BE USING THE TAX INCREMENT THAT'S WITHIN NOT THIS FORM, IT'S ON ANOTHER FORM. >> Prince: YEAH. SO I PERSONALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, WITH PUBLISHING THAT BECAUSE THIS SAYS VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, AND THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, THAT'S THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE WITH THE INCREMENT, AND SINCE IT DOESN'T SAY THAT OR EXPLAIN THAT, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT'S ACCURATE TO PUT THAT OUT THERE LIKE THAT. SO I WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY -- >> YEAH. THEY DO NOT -- AND I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS. THEY DO NOT HAVE A FORM -- WHAT HAPPENS IS THE TRUTH IN TAXATION, THE WHOLE CALCULATION AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM IS THE 43.55 CENTS. THEY DON'T HAVE A FORM THAT SAYS THAT. I CAN PROBABLY TYPE IT IN, THOUGH. >> Prince: I UNDERSTAND. I'M SAYING ME PERSONALLY, OBVIOUSLY I'M JUST ONE VOTE ON HERE, BUT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLEUTTING THA BECAUSE THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF WHAT IT IS. SO I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE LEAVING IT AT THE 40.60, EVEN IF WE DO GO OVER THAT, THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THAT AMOUNT IS, I THINK WE NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH THAT'S WHAT THAT AMOUNT -- >> YEAH, THAT -- MARK, I'M SO SORRY, THE STATE COMPTROLLER SAYS NO -- >> Prince: I'M SAYING WE SHOULDN'T CHANGE THAT VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, THAT IS WHAT THAT IS, DO YOU SEE WHAT -- >> Mayor Muns: GO AHEAD, SHELBY. >> Williams: IF I MAY, ON THIS FORM, THEY ARE GOING TO SAY WHAT THEY ARE. THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE IS THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. NOW, THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION COMING INTO THIS EVENING WAS THAT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE BE THE SAME AS THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, BUT THEN WE GOT THE ADDITIONAL SURVEY INFORMATION. >> Prince: SHE JUST SAID SHE WAS GOING TO CHANGE -- >> Williams: RIGHT. BUT YOU'RE NOT PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE LINE. >> OH, YES, I AM. THIS IS JUST ME FILLING THIS OUT. WE WEREN'T GOING TO USE THE TAX INCREMENT AND THEN I SAID, MARK, WE NEED TO REALLY TELL THEM THEY CAN USE THIS. THIS IS JUST A FORM THAT I FILLED OUT. AND IF I REFILL IT OUT, I MEAN, THIS IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE, TOMORROW MORNING THE REGULAR FORM, WHATEVER Y'ALL DECIDE YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WE WILL -- >> YEAH, BUT THAT'S THE ONE -- [ INDISTINCT CHATTER ] >> LET'S WALK THROUGH REAL QUICK WHAT NUMBERS WOULD GO IN LINES ONE THROUGH THREE, THEN, SO WE'RE BREAKING IT DOWN SO -- >> THE PROPOSEDAX RATES WHATEVER Y'ALL ARE GOING TO PUT OUT THERE. THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE IS STILL THE 38.65 CENTS. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, IF WE USE THE TAX INCREMENT, CAN GO UP THAT VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, CAN GO TO 43.55 CENTS. AND IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE CALCULATION FORM AT THE END OF THAT FORM, IT SAYS OUR VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE IS 43.55 CENTS. USING THE TAX INCREMENT. >> Williams: DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE TECHNICAL UNDERLYING DEFINITION OF VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE HERE IS WHATEVER WE COULD GO UP TO INCLUDING THE INCREMENT WITHOUT TRIGGERING AN ELECTION? >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> Williams: OKAY, THEN I'M WITH YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM. >> SO PART OF THIS IS THE COMPTROLLER'S LANGUAGE IN THIS, BUT I THINK WHAT I -- WHAT I'M HEARING FROM COUNCIL IS THE WAY WE'VE BEEN DOING THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE VERSUS T VOTER APPROVAL RATE WHICH IS AUTHORIZED WITH INCREMENT, ARE KIND OF TWO DIFFERENT CALCULATIONS. >> Prince: CHANGING IT -- >> AND IT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE LAST YEAR. SO I GUESS PART OF MY QUESTION IS, KAREN, IF THEY -- IF THEY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSED RATE BEING THE 43.55, COULD WE PUT THAT IN AS THE PROPOSED TAX RATE AND THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE AT .4060. >> NO, YOU WILL NEED TO PUT IT IN AT 43.55. >> May Mun WHAT ABOUT THE 41.76. >> YEAH, YOU CAN PUT IN 41.76, BUT YOU GOT TO -- ON THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE, IT STILL WILL NEED TO BE THERE'S TWO VOTER APPROVAL RATES, ONE WITH THE TAX INCREMENT, ONE WITH THE REGULAR. >> Mayor Muns: OKAY. >> (INDISCERNIBLE). [ INAUDIBLE - NO MIC ] >> I'M SO SORRY, I COULDN'T HEAR YOU. >> Smith : I GUESS -- I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD, NOW I DON'T. SO ANYTHING -- IF WE PUT IN A NUMBER THE PROPOSED RATE THAT'S HIGHER THAN THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, THEN IF IT'S WITHIN THE TAX INCREMENT ADDED TO IT, WE CAN STILL THEN WE PUT THAT AS OUR PROPOSED RATE, 41.76, AND THEN THE BOTTOM, THE VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE WOULD ALSO THEN HAVE TO BE 41.76 BECAUSE THAT IS THE -- >> NO, I THINK -- >> Smith : I'M -- THIS IS GOING TO BE CONFUSING, ANYBODY THAT PAYS ATTENTION -- >> WE EITHER USE THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE WITH THE TAX INCREMENT WHICH IS THE 43.55 OR JUST THE REGULAR ONE. SO -- THE REGULAR IS THE 40.60, WITHOUT ANY -- YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK THREE YEARS TO PICK UP A COUPLE OF PENNIES. >> Smith : OKAY, THAT IS CLEAR AS MUD. >> OKAY, WITH THE CONCEPT OF BANKING THE INCREMENT, IF WHICH REFLECT 4060 A THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE THIS YEAR, IS THAT GOING TO IMPACT THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE NEXT YEAR? >> NO, BECAUSE THE WAY THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE PART WORKS, IF YOU -- IF YOU PUT THE 40.60, YOU'RE GOING TO END UP WITH ZERO FOR THIS YEAR. YOU WON'T HAVE ANY INCREMENT. >> Williams: OKAY. >> BUT YOU WILL HAVE -- YOU WILL HAVE AN INCREMENT FROM 21-22, AND 22-23. AND I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO CONFUSING. >> Williams: I BLAME THE LEGISLATURE. >> YEAH, THE STATE -- [ LAUGHTER ] >> Williams: I WITH US GOING TO ADVOCATE FOR THE 40.60 CENTS ANYWAY, IN THE PROPOSAL GRANTED THIS WAS BEFORE THE SURVEY. I DPLY APPRECIATE THE CREATIVE APPROACH TO COMING UP WITH THE $6.4 MILLION TO ACHIEVE THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, AND AS COUNCILMAN RICCIARDELLI MENTIONED, EVEN WITH THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OF THE SURVEY, WE DO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL 2 MILLION BANKED FOR THE COMPENSATION AND TRADITIONALLY HISTORICALLY WE HAVE ENJOYED SURPLUSES WHERE -- WHEREBY WE COULD MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE, AND IN A BUDGET OUR SIZE, EVEN IF PUSH CAME TO SHOVE, THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE WE COULD -- WHERE WE COULD COME UP WITH ADDITIONAL MONEY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COMPETITIVE, AND I FULLY SUPPORT TAKING CARE OF OUR STAFF. AND I ALSO AGREE THAT I THINK WE'VE ACHIEVED A PRETTY GOOD EQUILIBRIUM, AND AGAIN, IT BEARS REPEATING. I APPRECIATE THE -- THE FISCALLY DISCIPLINED APPROACH BY WHICH THE 40.60 CENTS WAS RECOMMENDED OR PUT ON THE DOCKET TO RECOMMEND TONIGHT, AND THAT'S WHAT I FEEL WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH. >> O LAS THING, IT' BEEN REFERENCED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE WE HAVE SET ASIDE SOME MONEY TO ADJUST IF WE HAVE A NEW COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING THAT IF WE MOVE THAT INTO KIND OF AN OCTOBER 1 SORT OF ADJUSTMENT, IF THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY COMES IN AND IT RECOMMENDS A WHOLESALE CHANGE IN SOME DIRECTION, WE'LL BE DELAYING THAT IMPLEMENTATION UNTIL THE NEXT OCTOBER, SO I JUST NEED US TO ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE, BECAUSE I THINK THE EMPLOYEES LOOKING AT SOME OF THAT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT THAT AS WELL, THAT WE'RE SPEEDING UP SOME OF THE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT IN THE CURRENT YEAR, BUT IF THAT PHILOSOPHY CHANGES, SOME OF THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DELAYED UNTIL THE NEXT YEAR, THAT'S WHAT THAT $2 MILLION WAS FOR. >> Ricciardelli: MARK, IF I COULD ASK, THE CITIES THAT ARE DOING FOUR, FIVE, OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT CITY IS DING 6%, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GREAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT THAT'S WELL ABOVE INFLATION FOR THIS YEAR, ARE THEY ALSO BANKING MONEY FOR A COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY STUDY? >> NOT THAT WE'RE AWARE OF. ACTUALLY, MOST OF THEIR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY SAYS WE LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND TRY TO ADD A DOLLAR TO IT SO WE CAN COME GET YOUR STAFF MEMBERS WHICH -- >> Ricciardelli: YEAH, I GUESS WHAT I WAS SAYING WE SHOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT OUR NUMBERS WITH THAT 2 MILLION INCLUDED, BECAUSE WHETHER WE USE IT FOR THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY STUDY IMPLEMENTATION OR MAKE IT 3.8% ON OCTOBER 1, AND THAT IS PROBABLY A DISCUSSION WE CAN HAVE ON THURSDAY DURING THE WORKSHOP, YOU KNOW, IT'S MONEY THAT IS GOING TO BE GOING TO OUR EMPLOYEES AS IT SHOULD E, AND, YOU KNOW, AND SO THAT'S GOING TO -- IT'S ALL KIND O IN THE SAME BUET I THA WAY, AND IF OTHER CITIES THAT MAY HAVE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE NUMBER ARE NOT DOING THAT 2 MILLION THAT WE'RE DOING, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES INSTEAD OF APPLES TO ORANGES. >> I DON'T DISAGREE. I WANT Y'ALL TO GET FULL CREDIT AS COUNCIL FOR THAT THAT THAT'S COMING IN. BUT I THINK IT'S -- YOU KNOW, THE 2 MILLION, LIKE I SAID AT 1% IS $2.5 MILLION, KNOWING THAT SOME ARE GOING TO BE LIKE I SAID NORTH OF 4, I JUST DON'T WANT US TO GET TO A POSITION THAT WE'RE STRUGGLING TO BE ABLE TO FILL POSITIONS. THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM. >> Ricciardelli: I WANT TO SAY, I TOTALLY AGREE. WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, THAT IS CRITICAL IMPORTANCE. I THINK WE CAN DO THAT AT 40.60. >> Tu: SO I'M GOING TO DO ONE MORE PUSH, AND I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY IS REALLY DON'T WANT OUR CONSTITUENTS TO BE YELLING AT US THAT WE'RE RAISING THE TAX RATE BUT PUTTING SOMETHING ON THERE THAT -- THAT IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATE TO BE SPENDING FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. I JUST WANT Y'ALL TO UNDERSTAND THAT HAVING A BUFFER AND HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY ACTUALLY HELPS IN BECOMING A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE AS WELL AS PROTECTING US FROM POTENTIAL RISKS, AND THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU BECAUSE IT HASN'T HPENED YET. WE CANNOT -- FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE. WE CUT OUR BUDGET TO THE BONES BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR CONSTITUENTS AND OUR VOTERS UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE THEM MONEY. BUT ARE WE REALLY? WHEN WE CUT INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDINGS, WHEN WE START CUTTING COMPENSATION SO THAT OUR GREAT STAFF STARTS LOOKING AROUND FOR OTHER PLACES TO GO, WHEN WE STA HAVING TO MOVE MONEY FROM ONE POCKET TO ANOTHER, ARE WE REALLY DOING SOMETHING THAT IS FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF PLANO? THIS IS NOT A HOUSE BUDGET. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE JUST USE A BANK ACCOUNT AND TRY TO FLIP FLOP, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE MONEY SHOULD GO AND WHICH CREDIT CARD WE SHOULD PAY FIRST. THIS IS A CITY IN WHICH 300,000 OF OUR RESIDENTS LIVE AND THEY EXPECT CITY OF EXCELLENCE DELIVER, EXCELLENT SERVICE. THEY EXPECT THAT WHEN THEY CALL OUR OFFICE, THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DELIVER EXCELLENT SERVICE. AND WHEN WE START NICKEL AND DIMING THESE TYPE OF SERVICES, WE END UP WITH SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. SO I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY THAT BY GETTING THE HIGHER PROPOSED TAX RATE, THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO GET THERE. OBVIOUSLY THE OBJECTIVE IS TO GET AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, TAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. WE ALL LIVE HERE. WE ALL WANT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE TAX RATE, BUT WE ALSO WANT THE SERVICES AFTER PLANO. WE LIVE HERE BECAUSE WE LOVE PLANO FOR WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER TO US. SO WITH THAT, I STILL WOULD ASK THAT ALL THE COUNCILMEMBERS THINK ABOUT HAVING A HIGHER BUFFER, BUT THEN WHEN WE GO INTO THE BUDGET SESSION ON THURSDY, LET'S WORK ON GETTING IT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. LET'S LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S ANY WAY WITHOUT CUTTING AMENITIES, WITHOUT CUTTING SERVICES, WITHOUT CUTTING COMPENSATIONS THAT WE GET TO SOMETHING THA WE N ALL LIVE WITH. THAT'S ALL. >> CAN I SAY ONE MORE THING REAL QUICK? >> Mayor Muns: PLEASE. >> LOOK AT THIS SLIDE. LAST YEAR WHAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER WAS 45 -- HOLD ON -- 43.76 CENTS FOR YOUR VOTER APPROVAL RATE. THE YEAR BEFORE WHAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER, 46.17 WAS PUT IN THE PAPER. THE YEAR BEFORE, IT WAS 45.76. THIS IS JUST A NUMBER THAT IS GOING ON A FORM, OKAY? IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO PASS. IT JUST, THE STATE OF TEXAS SAYS WHATEVER THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN HERE. SO ALL OF THESE OTHER NUMBERS HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN WHAT WE'RE EVEN TALKING ABOUT TODAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT. >> Mayor Muns: I APPRECIATE IT. MY ONLY THOUGHT -- LET ME -- LET ME JUST SAY, THE REVENUE THAT WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING FROM PROPERTY TAX HAS GONE DOWN AND DOWN EACH YEAR BECAUSE OF OUR SENIOR EXEMPTIONS, OUR EXEMPTIS THAT ARE VERY FAVORABLE, HIGHER THAN ANYWHERE IN NORTH TEXAS. OUR TAX RATE IS LOWER THAN ANYWHERE IN NORTH TEXAS OF OUR SIZE. AND FOR US TO DO SOME MORE WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS RATE IS ONE THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH, THAT WE CAN ALSO TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, I THINK IT IS VERY PRUDENT AND STILL RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED TO PAY THE BILLS AND TO DO -- AND TO MAKE THIS CITY A GREAT CITY. WE ADDED HOW MANY BILLION IN GROWTH LAS YEAR? ALL OF IT WAS -- MOST OF IT WAS COMMERCIAL, BUT MOST OF THE AMENITIES GOES TO RESIDENTS. WE -- THAT'S WHERE MOST OF OUR EXPENSES GO TO. SO THIS IS ONE THAT IS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SET IT AT A POINT AND WHERE WE CAN, WE DECREASE IT. LIKE WE HAVE IN EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW. SO AS FAR AS DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM GOES, I TOTALLY AGREE, IT GIVES US THAT FLEXIBILITY TO REALLY BE AT A TAX RATE THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF ALL OF OUR NEEDS, AND STILL BRING IT DOWN. SO I'M GOING TO SECOND YOUR MOTION, AND SO THAT WE CAN AT LEAST VOTE ON IT, AND IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS SOMETHING ELSE THEY WANT TO SAY, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY -- >> Smith : YES, MAYOR, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I WAS GOING TO ASK D DEPUTY MAYOR, HER AMORTIZATION, I ALREADY SECONDED IT. I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF MAINTAINING OUR PUBLISHED RATE AT OUR CURRENTATE OF 41.76 IF YOU WERE TO MODIFY YOUR MOTION, SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO, THE MAYOR JUMPED IN THERE, I GUESS YOU COULD MODIFY THE MOTION TO 41.76 PUBLISHED, THAT'S WHY I ASKED CITY MANAGER IF YOU STILL THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. AND THEN THURSDAY -- THE REASON I SAY THAT, 6 YEARS NOW, WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS, WE NEVER CAN GO UP, WE CAN GO DOWN, BUT LO AND BEHOLD, OUR PUBLISH RATE MAGICALLY ENDS UP BEING OUR TAX RATE, SO WE'RE -- WORSE CASE, WE MAINTAIN 41.76. RIGHT. AFTER ALL OF OUR DISCUSSION. BECAUSE I TELL YOU, OUR STAFF, WHAT I FOUND, OUR STAFF IS PRETTY GOOD AT CALCULATING STUFF. WE GET TOGETHER, WE'RE GOING TO GET TOGETHER THURSDAY, AND WE'RE GOING TO BOUNCE THIS ALL AROUND, AND BELIEVE IT IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN SAVE, STILL DELIVER, STILL COMPENSATE, HELP OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL, IT WLL HAPPEN. .>> Tu: SO RICK, WHY DON'T YOU MODIFY IT FOR ME, MODIF THE . 41 -- SO MODIFY THE MOTION TO 41.76. >> Mayor Muns: I'LL SECOND THAT AS WELL. AND WE VOTE. .4176. THANK YOU. ANTHONY, YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO SPEAK, SO -- GOOD ONE. >> Ricciardelli: I KNOW THAT EMPLOYEES WATCH THESE MEETINGS AND THIS IS IMPORTANT. THERE WAS A STATEMENT MADE THAT I I DON'T THINK WAS INTENDED THE WAY IT WAS SAID IANT T ME SURE IT'S CLARIFIED ABOUT CUTTING COMPENSATION. OBVIOUSLY NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT CUTTING COMPENSATION, YOU KNOW, THE VERY LOWEST WE COULD LOOK AT IS A 3% RAISE PLUS $2 MILLION TO IMPLEMENT A COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY STUDY, AND I BELIEVE EVEN AT 40.60, WE CAN GO HIGHER THAN THAT, THEN ALSO THERE IS A STATEMENT MADE ABOUT PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS GOING DOWN. AND THE DOLLAR VALUE AT LEAST OF PROPERTY TAX DLEKSES HAS GONE UP OVER TIME. I WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THOSE WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THE IMPF OUR EMPLOYEES. I'M VERY CONFIDENT WE CAN DO THAT AT 40.60. >> Mayor Muns: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. [ INAUDIBLE - NO MIC ] PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 5-3. NEXT ITEM? >> City Clerk: ITEM 8, DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED 2023-2 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PRESENTATIONS TO GO THROUGH FOR CIP, OUR STAFF WILL BE PRACTICING SMART BREVITY TONIGHT AS PART OF THEIR PRESENTATION. >> OKAY. TNIGHT I'M ABOUT TO GET EVERYBODY UP HERE. WE'VE GOT 33 $9.8 MILLION GOING INTO THE PROPOSED CIP, AT THE TOP STREET IMPROVEMENTS, FOLLOWED BY CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AT 74, PARKS AND REC AT 61.5, WATER AND SEWER AT 42. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BRING UP RON SMITH TO START TALKING. THERE YOU GO. >> SMITH: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, RON SMITH, YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION C. IP FUND, THERE ARE FIVE CATEGORIES, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES. FIRST IS OUR RECREATION CENTER FACILITIES CATEGORY. THERE'S ONLY ONE PROJECT IN THIS CATEGORY FOR OUR PROPOSED CIP, AND IT'S THE RENOVATION OF THE MULEN BECK RECREATION CENTER. THE PK IMPROVEMENTS CATEGORY, FUNDING IS 47 MILLION FOR THAT, A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS HERE, THE JACK CARTER PARK, WHICH IS IMPLEMENTING PHASE I OF THAT RENOVATION OF THAT PARK, WHICH WILL RENOVATE THE FORMER MAINTENANCE SHOP THAT WAS THERE AT JACK CARTER AND RETURN THAT TO USABLE PARK SPACE. ALSO THE LOS RIOS PARK IMPROVEMENTS IS A SECTION OF TWO MILES OF TRAIL THAT WILL CONNECT COTTONWOOD CREEK GREEN BELT TO B WOOUFF PARK SOUTH. THERE WAS A COMPANION SHIP MEMO INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET THAT PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION ON THESE PROJECTS, SO GO TO THE NEXT CATEGORY WHICH IS THE PARK CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND. THIS IS FOR THE RENOVATION AND RESTORATION, AND REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS HELPS US TAKE CARE OF THE INVENTORY THAT INCLUDES OVER 5,000 ACRES OF RESPONSIBILITY, 15 ATHLETIC SITES, FOUR PERFORMING ARTS VENUES, FIVE MILES OF LIVING SCREEN, TOTAL PARKS, 47 PUBLIC BUILDING LANDSCAPE BEDS AND FIVE RECREATION CENTERS. OUR PARK FEE, THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNDING WILL BE REVENUE THAT IS REALIZED THROUGH THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE COLLIN CREEK MALL FACILITY, BUT PER THE ORDINANCE, PARK FEES CAN BE USED ONLY IN THOSE ZONES IN WHICH IT IS COLLECTED. SO WE HAVE OTHER PARK FEE THAT WE'VE RECEIVED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT WILL GO TOWARD PROJECTS IN EACH CORRESPONDING ZONE. AND FINALLY, OUR MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE FUND, THIS PREDOMINANTLY IS GOING TO BE SPENT AT THE DESILTATION OF BIG LAKE POND AND THE REPAIR OF THE WE'RE WHICH WAS CONNECTICUT SAN ANTONIO TONIGHT. THE REMAINING FUNDING WILL GO TOWARDS PROJECTS AT PECAN HOLLOW, AND WILLOW CREEK PARK. THAT INCLUDES THE PORTION OF THE PARK CIP AND I'LL INVITE CALEB THORNHILL TO THE MICROPHONE. >> Mor Muns: THANK Y. >> ALL RIGHT. CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, GOING TO KEEP THE NUMBERS THEME HERE. AND TALK ABOUT CONES AS WELL. SO ENGINEERING IS BROKEN UP REALLY INTO FOUR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES STREETS MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE, WATER AND SEWER, PROJECTS FUNDED. THIS IS THE DIFFERENT FUNDS THAT WE UTILIZE FOR STREETS, BONDS, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE, AND COLLIN COUNTY AND RTR, MAKES UP OURUNDING. YOU CAN SEE HERE FROM THE STREET IMPROVEMENTS, WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION CAPACITY, DESIGN TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES AND THEN THE MISCELLANEOUS, AND I'LL PROVIDE SOME DETAILS ON EACH OF THOSE. SO STREET CONSTRUCTION, WE'VE PARTNERED HERE WITH PUBLIC WORKS SO THAT 80 MILLION INCLUDES ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS, STREET CONSTRUCTION IS THE OBVIOUS. SHILOH ROAD IS A GOOD EXAMPLE, IT'S GOING ON ON THE EAST SIDE OF PLANO. WE'VE GOT 17th STREET, 15th STREET DOWNTOWN WILL BE UNDERONSTCTION NEXT YEAR AS WELL, AND THAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY. HERE IS A MAP. THE BLUE IS A PROJECT THAT'S EITHER BEEN COMPLETED OR IS ON GOING. RED WILL BE THE NEW PROJECTS COMING ONLINE SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT OF LINES ON THAT PAPER, BACK TO THE CONE COMMENT EARLIER. WE DID FINISH TEN PROJECTS LAST YEAR, WHICH IS A FANTASTIC EFFORT FROM OUR TEAM, BUT WE PLANNED TO ADD ANOTHER NY NINE NEXT YR AS WELL. STREET CAPACITIES, PAT AT THIS PROJECTS ARE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS, THERE'S TWO MAIN REASONS WE DO THOSE. ONE IS CONGESTION MITIGATION, THE OTHER ONE IS A SAFETY, IF THERE'S AN ISSUE WHERE THERE'S A SAFETY COMPONENT THAT THE GEOMETRY REQUIRES SOME TYPE OF CHANGE, OR AGAIN BACK TO THE MITIGATION, WE ADD LEFT TURNS, RIGHT TURNS TO ALLOW MORE VEHICLES TO GET THROUGH THOSE -- THE INTERSECTIONS REALLY ARE PINCH POINTS ARTERIALS. SO THIS IS A TOTAL OF 6 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR, THAT'S DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. YOU SEE A LIST THERE OF MULTIPLE PROJECTS. LOOKS EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU PUT IT ON A MAP AND YOU CAN SEE WE EVENLY DISTRIBUTE THE PAIN FOR EVERYBODY. AGAIN, BLUE PROJECTS THAT ARE FINISHED OR ON GOING, AND RED IS NEW LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE COMING ON BOARD. WE FINISHED 15 LOCATIONS LAST YEAR, AGAIN ANOTHER HUGE EFFORT FROM OUR TEAM. STREET DESIGN, I MENTIONED 15th, IT'S WRAPPING UP DESIGN, BUT WE'LL HAVE SOME EFFORT NEXT YEAR. OUR BRIDGE REPAIRS, WE GET PORTS FROM TxDOT EVERY TWO YEARS, WE GO OUT AND DO MISCELLANEOUS REPAIRS, THAT'S A BIG BULK OF THIS, AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE OTHER LOCATIONS, NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL BE DOING IMPROVEMENTS, OR DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. OUR TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES, SO I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS PHOTO WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE NEARLY EVERYTHING PUT THE POLE WE ARE PLANNING TO IMPROVE, MAYBE THE SIGNAL HEADS I'LL THROW IN THERE, BUT WE'VE GOT IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR THE CAMERAS, VEHICLE DETECTION. WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD ADDITIONAL FIBER TO OUR EXISTING NETWORK AND THAT WILL ALLOW US TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SIGNALS QUICKER, MORE EFFICIENTLY, ALLOWS THE CAMERA FEEDS TO COME BACK. IT HELPS US WITH INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SAFETY RETIMING TO HELP WITH MITIGATION. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT REPLACING THE BIG STEEL CABINETS, OTHER OVER 20 YEARS OLD AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. A LOT OF THE LOCATIONS IN THE CITY AS WELL AS THE COROLLERS THAT ARE INSE THEM AND THE SOFTWARE AS WELL. SO A LOT OF EFFORT PLANNED FOR THAT. YOU CAN SEE ON HERE THE VEHICLE PROTECTION IS IS SO IMPORTANT WE ADDED IT TWICE JUST TO MAKE SURE. MISCELLANEOUS, THE MAJORITY OF THIS EFFORT IS SIDEWALKS AND SCREENING WALLS. WE DID NEARLY 10,000 LINEAR FEET OF SCREEN WALLS LAST YEAR. AGAIN, OUR TEAM HAS JUST HAD WHAT I WOULD SAY A BANNER YEAR. 10,000 FEET, AND THAT IS FIVE PROJECTS THEY COMPLETED. THEY'RE PLANNING FOR ANOTHER FOUR FOR NEXT YEAR, SO THIS INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN. SIDEWALKS, USUALLY WE WILL DO, WE WILL PARTNER WITH PUBLIC WORKS, IF IT'S IN THE CONDITION WITH THE WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, ENGINEERING WILL INITIATE A DESIGN PROJECT OR IF THERE'S A GAP, ENGINEERING WILL COME IN. WE ALSO HAVE THE BRIDGE INSPECTION FOR THIS AS WELL. AND SCREENING WALLS HERE JUST A LIST OF LOCATIONS THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR, SEE THERE A COMPLETED ONE. WE'VE GOT A DESIGN STANDARD FOR THAT, SO THEY LOOK CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY MUNIPAL DRAINAGE FUND, I'VE BROKEN THIS INTO TWO SLIDES, THE FIRST ONE IS EROSION CONTROL, AND YOU SEE THERE EROSION CONTROL, ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE WILL PARTNER WITH THEM, YOU CAN SEE THERE THE HIGHLY USED MATERIALS FOR THE EROSION CONTROL PROJECTS AND THAT 16th STREET IS ACTUALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE, I SAY MISCELLANEOUS TO COLLIN CREEK MALL, WE PLAN TO FINISH THAT NEXT YEAR WHICH WILL BE GREAT NEWS, THE CITYWIDE STREAMBANK I'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS BEFORE, THAT'S A THREE YEAR PROGRAM, WE FINISHED THE FIRST PROGRAM, BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO -- WALK THE STREAMS DURING THE FALL, BECAUSE OF THE VEGETATION, SO THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT OTHER MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS, LOCALIZED PONDING OR FLOODING THAT WE ADDRESS WITH THIS AS WELL. WATER IMPROVEMENT, A LOT OF THESE AGAIN WE PARTNER WITH PUBLIC WORKS, IF WE'VE GOT MAIN BREAKS IN THAT CONSISTE AREA OR OLD PIPE, CAST IRON, SO WE'LL GO INTO NEIGHBORHOODS AND DO ESSENTIALLY A CLEAN SWEEP. WE ALSO INCLUDE THE STREETS WITH THAT WHEN WE GO IN THERE. WE'VE GOT A BIG INITIATIVE ALONG PARKER ROAD, AND AGAIN PARTNER WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT. THEY WILL COME BACK WITH THE OVERLAY ONCE THEY'RE COMPLETE. AND THEN SEWER. WE'VE GOT A HUGE INITIATIVE RIGHT NOW ALONG PGBT WE'RE ACTUALLY OUT THERE CONSTRUCTING CLOSE TO WHERE ALMA IS AT, BUT THAT EXTEND -- THAT IMPROVEMENTS WILL EXTEND ALL THE WAY OVER TO COIT, SO IT'S A HUGE EFFORT BY THE TEAM THAT YOU CAN SEE THERE. THE REMAINDER OF THE PROJECTS. SO WITH THAT, IF THERE'S NOT ANY QUESTIONS, I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO DO FACILITIES. MR. KUNZA HAD TO LEAVE EARLY TONIGHT. IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS ON STREETS. >> Tu: THIS IS KIND OF A SILLY QUESTION BUT WHY IS IT THAT WHEN YOU GUYS DO THE STREET REPAIRS, YOU DON'T GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE STREET, BUT YOU BREAK IT UP INTO SECTIONS? >> SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LIKE ONE OF THE LARGE STREETS, THE SIX LANE STREETS. >> Tu: ANY STREETS, IF YOU'RE GOING DOWN PARKER, WHY DON'T YOU FINISH PARKER. >> WHICH ONE. [ INDISTINCT CHATTER ] >> SO I DON'T W WANT TO STEAL DAN'S THUNDER, WE I'LL PUT A PIN IN. WE'LL GET YOU AN ANSWER. OKAY, I'M MOVING ON. SO FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH LUCKILY ACTUALLY FALLS UNDER ENGINEERING, SO I DO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. YOU CAN SEE THE BOND FUNDS AND CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDS, OBVIOUSLY FROM A FACILITY, DOING A HUGE RENOVATION LIKE TOM MULEN BECK CENTER, THAT COMES FROM BONDS, THE REST OF THAT IS MAINTAINING OUR 120 PLUS BUILDINGS. HVAC UNITS, CARPETS, FURNITURE, YOU NAME IT, AND WE'RE OUT THERE. SO THE BIG BOND PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE, THE FUELING STATIONS, WE EXPECT TO START CONSTRUCTION THIS NEXT YEAR, WE'VE GOT PNNED REMODELS FOR FIRE STATION 5 AND 8. PARKWAY SERVICES, AGAIN PARTNER WITH DAN PENDERGRAST AND PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT, AD OTHER SMALLER BOND PROJECTS, BUT THESE ARE FROM THE 2021 BOND. AND JUST TO HIGHLIGHT COUNCIL CHAMBERS IS A PART OF THAT, AND WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, HAD A -- THE CMAR APPROVED FOR THAT. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ORDERING THE ELECTRONICS, IF YOU RECALL, THERE'S A LONG LEAD TIME FOR A LOT OF THAT EQUIPMENT, SO INSTEAD OF DISPLACING YOU GUYS WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT EQUIPMENT, WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT EQUIPMENT TO COME IN AND THEN HOPEFULLY SHORTEN THE DURATION OF THAT, BUT IT WILL -- THE COUNCIL CHAMBER RENOVATION PROJECT WILL IMPROVE THE ADA ACCESS, ACCESSIBILITY TO THIS AREA. THERE'S ALSO AUDIO VISUAL COMPONENTS FROM BEING ABLE TO HEAR, AND THAT IS ALSO RELATED TO ADA, AND ALSO SECURITY MEASURES AS WELL. HERE WE GO. FIRE STATION 5 AND 8 ESSENTIALLY ARE RENOVATIONS TO THE FACILITIES. 5 IS ACTUALLY ADDING ADDITIONAL SPACE IN THE BAYS FOR ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT, AND THERE'S MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS ON THE INSIDE AS WELL. OAK POINT PARKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY, I BELIEVE RON TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER. RENOVATION TO THAT AREA. AND THEN MULEN BECK, WHICH I BELIEVE RON ALSO TALKED ABOUT RENOVATIONS TO THE INSIDE OFHAT. AND THEN I MENTIONED FACILITIES CAPITAL MAINTENANCE, THAT IS THE ITEMS THAT HAVE A SHORTER LIFESPAN. YOU CAN SEE HERE THE HVAC UNIT ON TOP OF A ROOF. THAT ALL COMES FOR CAPITAL MAINTENANCE, YOU CAN SEE THERE WE'VE GOT MECHANICAL CONTROL, HVAC GENERATORS, FINISHES FURNITURE I BELIEVE THAT IS IT. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FACILITIES? IF NOT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DAN. DAN, YOU HAD A QUESTION. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. >> CALEB, I GIVE YOU AN A PLUS FOR MATCHING YOUR TOE WITH THOSE CONES OUTSIDE. >> MATCHING WHAT? >> YOUR TIE WITH THE CONES OUTSIDE. >> SOLID CHOICE . >> IT WAS A SETTLE. >> GOOD EVENING, HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR 23-24CIP, THE BULK OF CIP IS IN STREET FUNDING, WE'VE GOT $87 MILLION IN TOTAL FUNDING. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOND FUNDED PROJECTS AND CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDED PROJECTS, BOND FUNDED PROJECTS ARE MULTI-YEAR LARGE PROJECTS, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE ARE TYPICAL THE SAME SCOPE BUT A SMALLER SCALE, WE MAY FIX 3 MILES ON ARTERIAL STREET, WE'RE DOING 20 2-1-1,000 FEET IN DIFFERENT AREAS AROUND THE CITY, THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE THERE, I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT WHEN I GET TO THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDED PROJECTS. THE BIG QUESTION WE GET IS THE ARTERIAL CONCRETE AND OVERAY PROJECTS. WE'VE GOT $28.5 MILLION SCHEDULED FOR NEXT YEAR. WHAT WE DO IS GO IN AND PRE-PLACE THE DAMAGED CONCRETE, PUT A THREE QUARTER INCH OVERLAY THAT PROTECTS THAT SERVICE, THAT WAY WATER CAN'T GET INTO THE CRACKS AND THE JOINTS, ALSO RIDES MUCH BETTER, LOOKS MUCH BETTER, AND IS ALSO QUIETER. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR OVERLAY PROGRAM HERE, THIS MAP SHOWS WHERE WE'VE BEEN, WHERE WE ARE, AND WHERE WE'RE GOING, THE STREETS THAT ARE IN GRAY ARE STREETS WE'VE ALREADY OVERLAID THERE. LAST YEAR WE DID COIT ROAD AT THE CENTER OF YOUR SCREEN, LEGACY DRIVE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF TOWN. THE GREEN AREAS ARE PROJECTS THAT WE ACTUALLY JUST BID AND APPROVED COUNCIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, TWO PROJECTS, THE WEST OVERLAY PROJECT WHICH INCLUDES HEDGE COAX ROAD ON THE WEST SIDE, AND PARKER BOULEVARD, THE EAST PROJECT HAS PLANO PARKWAY THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TOWN THERE, LOS RIOS BOULEVARD AND EAST SIDE OF PARKER ROAD. WE HAVE THE ORANGE AREAS WHICH ARE THE CONCRETE REPAIR PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON AHEAD OF THE OVERLAYS, SOME OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON OVER A YEAR NOW. PARKER ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE AND WEST SIDE, AS THAT MOVES IN, WE HAVE A MILE, TWO MILES TO BE ABLE TO OVERLAY. THAT I SOMHING K NEW THAT WE DID, WHEN WE DID COIT ROAD, WE WAITED INIAL THE ENTIRE PROJECT WAS DONE, LEARNED FROM THAT EXPERIENCE, STARTED PUTTING DOWN THE OVERLAY SOONER. WE ALSO HAVE HEDGCOXE ROAD, A CONTINUATION FROM COIT GOING WEST, AEN THIS EWE'VE ADDED MIDWAY WHICH IS APPROVED AT COUNCIL I BELIEVE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND WE HAVE INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY WHICH IS ACTUALLY TWO PROJECTS, TWICE AS FAST, WE HAVE A NORTH SECTION AND A SOUTH SECTION THAT SHOULD START WORK HERE PRETTY SOON AS WELL, I PUT THESE AREAS IN BLUE ON LEGACY DRIVE AT HEDGCOXE, WE FINISH HEDGCOXE FIRST TWO INTO LEGACY DRIVE, ON PARK BOULEVARD, WE NEED TO FINISH PARKER ROAD FIRST. WE WANT TO DO MORE PARK BOULEVARD, BUT WE HAVE SOME WATER PROJECTS DO AHEAD OF THAT, WE HAVE TO PHASE SOME PROJECTS IN AND PIECEMEAL THESE TO BE SURE WE'RE GETTING EVERYTHING DONE THAT WE NEED TO. WE HAVE INTERSECTION PROJECTS THAT CALEB HAS. I DON'T WANT TO OVERLAY THE INTERSECTION AND HAVE HIM COME TEAR IT UP LATER ON TOO. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION ON THE GAPS. OKAY. >> ACTUALLY, CAN YOU DISCUSS THE REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT OF WHY YOU PICK CERTAIN PIECES OF CONCRETE TO REPLACE VERSUS JUST DOING AN ENTIRE LANE KIND OF FROM INTERSECTION TO INTERSECTION? >> SURE, SO ON LEGACY, WE'RE DOING A PROJECT RIGHT NOW WHICH I THINK -- I CAN'T SEE THIS, THE ORANGE SECTION, JUST WEST OF COIT, THAT SECTION WAS IN BAD SHAPE, REALLY NEEDED TO BE DONE NOW, COULDN'T WAIT TO COME IN AND BID THAT PROJECT OUT, SOMETIMES WE'RE GOING TO PICK THE WORST AREA ANDET THAT DONE. IT'S KIND OF A STRATEGIC THING THAT WE DO WHERE WE CAN SEE WHERE THE CONDITIONS OF THE PAVEMENT IS AND USE THAT MONEY AS BEST WE CAN FOR THE DAMAGES. BUT IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING SOMETIMES, BECAUSE WE'LL GO IN AND DO A PIECE, A YEAR LATER ANOTHER PIECE, WE'RE TRYING TO LARGER PROJECTS COVER MORE AREA AT ONE TIME, ALSO BY BIDDING OUT TWO SECTIONS OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY, YOU GET THAT WORK DONE FASTER AS WELL, SO THE WHOLE SECTION OF ROAD IS DONE AT THE SAME TIME. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHEN PEOPLE START COMPLAINING TO ME ABOUT WELL, HOW COME THIS ROAD IS SO BUMPY AND THEN I G RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND THE ROADS ARE MUCH BETTER, WHAT I WOULD TELL THEM IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO -- WE ONLY HAVE SO MUCH MONEY IN OUR BUDGET AND WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORST PART OF THE ROADS ARE TAKEN CARE OF FIRST, AND THAT'S OUR TOP PRIORITY, THEN WE USE THE REMAINING MONEY FOR ALL THE OTHER STUFF, AM I -- AM I GETTING -- IN J GENERAL, YES. RIGHT NOW I'M NOT DOING WORK ON SPRING CREEK PKWAY, I HAVEEGACY GOING ON AND PARKER GOING ON, SOMETIMES OHER PROJECTS WILL IMPACT WHAT WE CAN DO, SO IT'S REALLY LOOKING AT THE CONCRETE REPAIR AND OVERLAY BENEFITS ALMOST ALL OF OUR ROADS, HOW MUCH CONCRETE DO I REMOVE AND REPLACE, RIGHT? SO I'M ABLE TO USE A FUNDS IN THE WAY THAT IS LEAST IMPACT TO OUR RESIDENTS AND THAT WAY STILL MAKE PROGRESS AND NOT HOLD THE PROJECT OFF FOR TWO YEARS WAITING ON A WATER MAIN PROJECT TO FINISH UP, OR -- KEEP MAKING PROGRESS. >> Tu: THANK YOU. >> SURE. THE NEXT BOND PROJECT OR PE OF PJECT THAT WE HAVE IS THE RESIDENTIAL STREET AND ALLEY REHAB OVER $27 MILLION, THESE ARE ONE MILE SQUARE AREAS, WE FIX THE DAMAGED CONCRETE STREET PAVING, SIDEWALK PAVING AND ALLEY PAVING, WE CRACK SEAL AND JOINT SEAL EVERYTHING. THE MAP HERE SHOWS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN GREEN AND THEN WE'RE ADDING THE ZONES IN RED AS PART OF THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. WE'RE KIND OF IN THAT PEAK OF THE BOND PROGRAM WHERE WE'VE GOT PROJECTS GOING ON A YEAR OR TWO YEAR, THEY GO STREET BY STREET IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, KIND OF THE PEAK OF THE BOND PROGRAM, AND WE'LL START SEEING SOME OF THOSE GREEN AREAS FALL OFF AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. CMF FUNDING IS $31.5 MILLION, AGAIN, VERY SIMILAR SCOPE TO WHAT I TALKED ABOUT, JUST SMALLER IN SCALE, WE ALSO HAVE SCREENING WALLS HERE, IF A CAR HIT AS SCREENING WALL, WE USE THIS MONEY TO FIX THE PANELS, ALSO THE WALL, IF THE BRICK IS DAMAGED, BUT THE FOUNDATION IS IN GOOD SHAPE, WE'LL GO AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE BRICK PORTION OF THE WALL WITH THE CMS FUNDS THROUG PUBLIC WORKS, IF THE FOUNDATION IS DAMAGED MEANING THE WALL IS LEANING OR THE FOUNDATION IS CRACKED, THAT GOES TO CALEB'S GROUP FOR BOND FUNDING AND FULL REPLACEMENT AND THEN WE HAVE TRAFFIC COMPONENT HERE CFM FUNDING, PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND BUTTONS, STREET CONDITION INVESTIGATIONS STREET LIGHTING, TRAFFIC GUARDRAILS AND TRAFFIC SIGN REPLACEMENT. NEXT IS OUR WATER PORTION, WE ONLY HAVE $6 MILLION OUT OF THE FULL AMOUNT THAT CALEB SHOWED YOU THERE. ONE BIG ITEM HERE IS THE WATER SYSTEM INSPECTIONS AND ANALYSIS, SOME OF OUR VERY LARGE DIAMETER WATER MAINS 60-INCH OR LARGER ARE OVER 30 YEARS O, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE INSPECT THESE THINGS SO WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC. GET INFORMATION BACK WHERE IT TELLS YOU, YOU KNOW, WATCH OUT FOR THE NEXT FIVE T TEN YEARS, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER MAINTENANCE PLAN OVER THE FUTURE OR OUR MAINS. WE'VE GOT SOME MASTER PLANS IN HERE. THE (INDISCERNIBLE) MASTER PLAN, AND THE RIDGE VIEW PUMP STATION MASTER PLAN. LEAK DETECTION, AND OTHER PUMP STATION REHABILITATION AS PART OF THE $6 MILLION. AND THEN FINALLY, WASTEWATER IS AT 5.425 MILLION. EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE LEFT IS REALLY PART OF OUR CMOM PLAN, WHICH IS CAPACITY MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT, KIND OF BEST PRACTICES FOR YOUR SEWER SYSTEM, WHAT YOU SEE IS OUR STAFF RUNNING A CCTV CAMERA DOWN A SEWER MAIN. THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME, THE CONDITION OF THE MAIN, THE REPORTS GO INTO ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, THEN WE CAN PRIORITIZE FUTURE REPLACEMENTS AS WE NEED TO. WE ALSO DO THINGS LIKE INFILLATION, RAIN WATER IS GETTING INTO YOUR SEWER SYSTEM, YOU HAVE LESS CAPACITY TO CARRY SEWER, YOU BUILD BIGGER PIPES OR FIND THE RAIN WATER AND FIX THAT, IT'S MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO DO THAT AS WELL. I THINK THAT CONCLUDES MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION. ANY QUESTIONS? >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> ITEM NUMBER 9, CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 6 BUILDING AND BUILDING REGULATIONS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF PLANO BY ADDING ARTICLE 24 REGISTRATION OF SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROPERTIES, PROVIDING FOR PROCEDURES FOR THE REGISTRATION AND SELF-INSPECTIONS OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS FOR OPERATION; PROVIDING FOR PROCEDURES FOR APPROVAL, DENIAL SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF REGISTRATION OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, A REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A PUBLICATION CLAUSE AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
