AGENDA ITEM NO. 1. PUBLIC HEAR PROPOSED 2022-2023 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM - PUBLIC HEARING, DISCUSSION, AND DIRECTION REGARDING THE PROPOSE 2022-2023 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM (CIP). APPLICANT: CITY OF PLANO. THIS IS A LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS EVAN GARCIA, PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THIS ITEM IS A PRESENTATION OF THE 2022-2023 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM. THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM IS A FIVE-YEAR FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE FUNDING. THE PROGRAM IS UPDATED ANNUALLY AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS ASKED TO CONFIRM THAT THE ONE-YEAR PROJECTS ALIGN WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DETAILS THE LONG-RANGE VISION FOR OUR FUTURE AND ESTABLISHES GOALS FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CITY. IT IS USED TO ENSURE DELIVERY AND ORGANIZE BUDGET PRIORITIES. THE COMMISSION'S ROLE IN THIS PROCESS IS TO ASSIST WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMP PLAN AND THAT IS DONE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW OF CONFORMANCE AND ANNUALLY REVIEWING AND APPROVING THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM. TONIGHT WE WILL BE ASKING FOR THE COMMISSION'S APPROVAL THAT THIS YEAR'S PROJECTS CONFORM WITH THE PLAN. SINCE WE'VE ADOPTED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THIS PAST NOVEMBER, THIS IS THE FIRST CIP BUDGET THAT WRE ALIGNING WITH THE UPDATED PLAN. THE PLAN IS MADE UP OF FIVE PILLARS, 11 COMPONENTS, AND 42 POLICIES. EACH POLICY CONTAINS MULTIPLE ACTIONS THAT WORK TOWARDS THE REALIZATION OF THE POLICY AND THE COMPONENT. SO THIS SLIDE OUTLINES THE POLICY ACTION FRAMEWORK IN THAT THOSE ACTIONS ON THE RIGHT PROVIDE DIRECTION TOWARDS THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FACILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY STATES PLANO WILL STRATEGICALLY PLAN AND IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO CITY TO ENSURE THE NECESSARY NEEDS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY. SO CIP ANALYSIS AND REPORTING UPDATES. THIS YEAR'S PLAN ALIGNMENT IS ALTERED TO REFLECT THE UPDATED PLAN AND IT IS EVALUATED BASED UPON THE COMPONENTS AND POLICIES. PROJECT ANALYSIS REVIEW HAS NOT CHANGED AND STILL CLASSIFIES PROJECTS BASED ON PROJECT TYPE AND PROJECT LOCATION. FOR THE FUNDING OVERVIEW WE STILL CLASSIFY PROJECTS BASED AND TRACK THE CIP FUNDINGISION SOURCE FOR THE PROJECTS AS WELL. SO AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE WOULD ALIGN A PROJECT WITH THE COMP PLAN, WE WOULD CLASSIFY COMMUNITY PARK RENOVATIONS UNDER THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT PILLAR. QUALITY OF LIFE COMPONENTS WHICH STATES THE CITY OF PLANO IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ITS CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES AND WITHIN THAT COMPONENT WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS PROJECT ALIGNS WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION POLICY. THE BULK OF THE FUNDING FOR THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM COMES FROM BOND FUNDS AND CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDS. THE BOND FUNDS GO TO LARGER CAPITAL PROJECTS LIKE SHILOH ROAD EXPANSION, AND THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDS SMALLER MAINTENANCE-RELATED PROJECTS SUCH AS TRAFFIC SIGN REPLACEMENT AND TRAFFIC GUARDRAIL REPAIR. SO IN ADDITION TO THOSE SOURCES, CIP FUNDING SOURCES ALSO INCLUDES SHORT-TERM DEBT, REVENUE BONDS, ANDATER AND SEWER FUNDS, AND PARKS FEE PROGRAM FUNDS. SO EACH OF THESE FUNDING SOURCES INCLUDES FUND CATEGORIES THAT ARE DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS WHO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTING THE FUNDING CATEGORY PROJECTS. FOR OUR ANALYSIS WE ANALYZED ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS TOGETHER DUE TO OVERLAP IN PROJECTS. OUR ANALYSIS INCLUDED AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THE FUNDING CATEGORIES AS WELL AS SPECIFIC ANALYSIS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS, AND FACILITIES PROJECTS. EACH DEPARTMENT WILL BE PRESENTING SEPARATELY THIS EVENING. HERE WITH US THIS EVENING IS RENE BURKE JORDAN, PARKS PLANNING MANAGER, CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING PAUL FACILITIES MANAGER, DAN PRENDERGAST, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, AS WELL AS KAREN RHODES-WHITLEY, BUDGET DIRECTOR. TO NOTE, THERE IS ABOUT $9 MILLION OF THE CIP FUNDS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN OUR REVIEW DUE TO THE NATURE OF THOSE PROJECTS. SO TO BEG OUR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT 63% OF THE PROJECTS WERE LOCATED IN A SPECIFIC LOCATION WHICH, FOR EXAMPLE, INCLUDES THE TOM MUEHLENBECK RENOVATION CENTER AND THE FIRE STATION REMODEL. 37% OF THE PROJECTS WERE CLASSIFIED AS CITYWIDE, WHICH INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL STREET AND ALLEY REPLACEMENTS AND TREE REPLACEMENTS . THE BULK OF THE FUNDING COMES FROM GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS WITH THE REMAINING COMING FROM REVENU BONDS, PARK FEE PROGRAM, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND, AND THE WATER AND SEWER FUND. AS WELL AS A LITTLE FROM THE PARK FEE PROGRAM. SO BREAKING UP THE FUNDING TOTAL AND THE PROJECT TOTAL BY DEPARTMENTS, OVER TWO-THIRDS OF THE FUNDING IS ALLOCATED TO ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS, ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS ALSO HAVE A MAJORITY OF THE PROJECTS IN THIS YEAR'S CIP AT 176 PROJECTS WITH PARKS AND RECREATION AT 85 AND FACILITIES AT 83. AND ON THIS SLIDE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PROJECT BY FUNDING. THIS YEAR OVER 75% OF THE FUNDING IS GOING TOWARDS MAINTENANCE REPAIR MINOR REPLACEMENTS, OR MAJOR REPLACEMENTS OR RECONSTRUCTION. 17% OF THE FUNDS GO TO NEW IMPROVEMENTS OR ADDITIONS AND 6% POLICY OR STUDIES. THIS SLIDE DETAILS THE PROJECT TYPE BY DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION. THE MAJORITY OF PROJECTS WORKED ON ALL DEPARTMENTS WAS MAINTENANCE REPAIR OR MINOR REPLACEMENT. TO EXPAND ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, BASED ON FUNDING, AGAIN, THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNDS WERE GOING TOWARDS MAINTENANCE REPAIR MINOR REPLACEMENT PROJECTS. OVER A QUARTER OF THE FUNDS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, ENGINEERING, AND PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS ARE RECONSTRUCTION OR MAJOR REPLACEMENT, WHILE ONLY 12% OF THE FUNDS FOR CILITIES PROJECTS PERTAIN TO RECONSTRUCTION OR MAJOR REPLACEMENT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TURN TO THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS FOR THEIR PRESENTATIONS AND AFTER THE DEPARTMENT PRESENTATIONS I WILL CONCLUDE WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALIGNMENT FOR THIS YEAR'S PROJECTS. AND WITH THAT I WOULD TURN IT OVER TO RENE BURKE-JORDAN. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS RENE JORDAN. I'M THE PARK PLANNIN MANAGER. OKAY. SO IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION CIP WE HAVE FIVE PROJECT TYPE CATEGORIES WITH 85 PROJECTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $59 MILLION, REPRESENTING 18% OF THE TOTAL CIP. THE ONLY ITEM IN THE RECREATION CENTER PROJECTS FUND IS THE TOM MUEHLENBECK RENOVATION PROJECT. FUNDING WILL PAY FOR DESIGN AND A PORTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION IN 2020-2023. TH IS OUR BUS BUSIEST RECREATION SEPTEMBER. IT IS IN NEED OF ASSETS INCLUDING THE ROOF, PARKING LOT LIGHTS, TRACK FLOORING. THE POOL DECK, SLIDES, PLAY STRUCTURE AS WELL AS INTERIOR PAINT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FACILITY . THIS IS A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY OF THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS FUND. PROJECTS ARE THROUGHOUT THE PARK SYSTEM AND I'LL HIGHLIGHT SEVERAL. THE JACK CARTER PARK PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT PHASE ONE OF IMPROVEMENTS OF THAT PARKS MASTER PLAN. THESEMPROVEMENTS WIL REPROGRAM AND RENOVATE THE FORMER MAINTENANCE SHOP AREA ADDING TRAILS, REPLACING A RESTROOM, AND RENOVATING SPORTS FIELDS. THE LOS RIOS PARK PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT NEARLY TWO MILES OF NEW TRAIL TO CONNECT THE SOUTHERNMOST TRAIL HEADS OF BOTH THE COTTON WOOD CREEK GREEN BELT AND BOB WOODRUFF PARK. COMMUNITY PARK RENOVATIONS WILL INCLUDE PROJECTS AT OLD SHEPHERD PLACE PARK AND BOB WOODRUFF PARK. AND TRAIL REPLACEMENT WILL RECONSTRUCT A SECTION OF THE CHISHOLM TRAIL UNDER SPRING CREEK PARKWAY. ON THIS NEXT SLIDE WE'RE SHOWING A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY, AGAIN, OF THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND. THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND SUPPORTS MINOR PROJECTS LIKE REPAIRS REHABILITATION AS WELL AS RENOVATION OF FACILITIES. SO THIS FUND SUPPORTS OUR FOUR PERFORMING ARTS VENUES, 15 ATHLETIC SITES, 500 IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, FIVE MILES OF LIVING SCREENS, 85 TOTAL PARKS AND 47 PUBLIC BUILDING SITE GROUNDS AND SIX RECREATION CENTERS. FUNDING IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND FOR A PROJECT TO RENOVATE THE EXTERIOR COURTYARD AT THE PLANO EVENT CENTER. IN THE PARK FEE FUND THE LARGEST PORTION OF PARK FEE ANTICIPATED IS REVENUE FOR 22-23. THIS IS A RESULT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AT THE COLLIN CREEK REDEVELOPMENT. PARK FEE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES ARE ANTICIPATED AT C DEVELOPMENT AT SPRING CREEK AND PARKWOOD ALSO. AND FINALLY THE LAST SECTION OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION CIP, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROJECT IN THE DRAINAGE FUND IS THE REPAIR OF THE POND. REMAINING FUNDING IS AVAILABLE AT LOCATIONS INCLUDING RUSSELL CREEK, SHADY CREEK AND WILLOW CREEK. THIS CONCLUDES THE PARKS AND RECREATION CIP . ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS A THIS POINT ON THE PARKS AND REC CIP? >> Chair Downs: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER CARY. >> Cary: I HAVE ONE. I NOTICE YOU HAVE LAND ACQUISITION IN THERE. AT A HIGH LEVEL COULD YOU GIVE US A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO WHAT YOU'RE ANTICIPATING THERE? >> YES, SIR. ONE OF THE LAND ACQUISITIONS WE'RE LOOKING AT IS ACQUISITION OF THE ALMANAC DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS AT SPRING CREEK AND PARKWOOD. YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT ONE. THAT'S THE PRIMARY ONE AND THEN WE HAVE SMALLER AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO ACQUIRE EASEMENTS TO MAKE TRAIL CONNECTIONS FOR REGIONAL TRAIL CONNECTIONS THAT ARE YET TO BE MADE. >> Cary: GREAT. THANK YOU. >> YES, SIR. >> Chair Downs: YOU MENTIONED THE ACQUISITION AT THAT DEVELOPMENT. WILL THAT BE CONSIDERED A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK? >> YES, SIR. THERE WILL BE A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK AT THAT LOCATION. >> Chair Downs: DO YOU KNOW THE SIZE? >> IT'S APPROXIMATELY FOUR ACRES. >> Chair Downs: OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR PARKS AND REC? OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> NEXT UP IS THE ENGINEERING CIP WITH CAL THORNHILL. >> Chair Downs: GOOD EVENING, MR. THORNHILL. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. CALEB THORNHILL, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND I'M GOING TO GO OVER THE CIP VERSION OF THIS. IT'S ALWAYS TOUGH TO FOLLOW PARKS. THEY HAVE SLIDES AND FUN STUFF. SO FOR THE CIP VERSION, WE'VE GOT OUR PROJECT TYPES FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND I'LL GO INTO DETAIL FOR THAT. MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE AND WE ALSO INCLUDE WATER AND SEWER IN OUR PROJECT TYPES AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THERE THE NUMBERS. THESE ARE BROKEN OUT SEPARATELY. I KNOW THA MENTIONED EARLIER WE HAD THEM COMBINED BUT WE SEPARATED THEM. WE HAVE 97 ACTIVE PROJECTS AND ANTICIPATE $131 MILLION IN FUNDING. SO STREET IMPROVEMENTS, AGAIN, BROKEN THIS DOWN INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON THE UPCOMING SLIDES YOU'LL SEE DISCUSSIONS ON STREET CONSTRUCTION, STREET DESIGN, STREET CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY OUR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. AND THEN MISCELLANEOUS STREET IMPROVEMEN, THAT'S GOING TO BE SCREENING WALLS, BRIE REHABILITATION SIDEWALK PROJECTS. SO STREET CONSTRUCTION. ANTICIPATE $36 MILLION. A LOT OF OR A LARGE MAJORITY OF THAT IS GOING TO THE SHILOH ROAD PROJECT THAT JUST STARTED ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. WE ALSO ANTICIPATE PARKER ROAD RECONSTRUCTION STARTING THIS YEAR FROM ROUND ROCK TO CUSTER AND THOSE WILL BE LARGE ARTERIAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. YOU CAN SEE THERE FROM THE LIST SEVERAL OTHER LOCATIONS. WE'LL BE DOING FULL THAT $36 MILLION IS A LARGE SO NUMBER FOR US THIS YEAR BUT, AGAIN, WITH THOSE FIRST TWO PROJECTS THAT'S THE BULK OF THAT. FROM A MAP STANDPOINT, IT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO READ BUT THE BLUE IS ACTIVE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN CONSTRUCTION IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR SO THOSE SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP OR GETTING CLOSE TO THAT SOON. AND THEN THE RED ONES WILL BE THE NEW PROJECTS WE ANTICIPATE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 22-23. SO YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE KIND OF S. THERE IS A LARGER PORTION ON THE EAST SIDE WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE A LOT OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS VERY OLD. SO STREET IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN. THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT WILL BE TAKEN TO DESIGN THIS YEAR. 15th STREET, WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF DESIGN AND HOPING TO WRAP THAT UP LATER THIS FALL AND START CONSTRUCTION ON THAT. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THERE MOST OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD-TYPE PROJECTS. AND THEY'LL ALSO COMBINE WITH THE WATERND SEWER ELEMENT DEPENDING ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S OUT THERE. AND, AGAIN, SAME GOES FOR THIS ONE. THE BLUE ARE PROJECTS ACTIVELY IN DESIGN TODAY. HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE WRAPPING THOSE UP AND STARTING CONSTRUCTION. THE RED ARE PROJECTS THAT WE ANTICIPATE GOING TO DESIGN THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. IF I'M GOING TOO FAST, JUST TELL ME TO SLOW DOWN. STREET IMPROVEMENTS CAPACITY. I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER. THIS IS TYPICALLY OUR INRSECTION. THERE'S SEVERAL REASONS WHY WE DO THESE PROJECTS. SOMETIMES IT'S CONGESTION. SOMETIMES IT'S SAFETY, IF THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE GEOMETRY. TYPICALLY THEY'LL INVOLVE THE ADDITION OF A DEDICATED LEFT-TURN LANE WHERE THERE MAY ONLY BE ONE, WE'LL ADD AN ADDITIONAL. THE ADDITION OF A RIGHT-TURN LANE WHERE THERE MIGHT NOT BE ONE PRESENT. SO WE'VE GOT A LONG LIST OF THESE. THE CORRIDOR PROJECTS THERE ON YOUR RIGHT, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL DO ANYWHERE FROM THREE TO FIVE LOCATIONS ALONG THE CORRIDOR. PARK AND PARKERRE ONES THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WE HOPE THAT WE'LL GET THOSE FINISHED SOON. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CHALLENGES WITH FRANCHISE UTILITIES. LEGACY DRIVE IS ANOTHER ONE. WE'VE GOT I BELIEVE THREE LOCATIONS ALONG LEGACY AND WE'RE STILL WORKING TO GET THE UTILITIES RELOCATED ON THAT ONE. BUT HOPING TO GET THOSE IN CONSTRUCTION VERY SOON AND GET PARK AND PARKER WRAPPED UP AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE LEFT SEVERAL OTHER LOCATIONS THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. HERE'S A MAP. AGAIN, BLUE IS ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION. RED IS EXPECTED TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION THIS NEXT YEAR. AND, NO, IT DOES NOT HAVE MEASLES. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. SO I MENTIONED THE DEDICATED SLIDE FOR TRANSPORTATION. OUR TRANSPORTATION DIVISION HAS TAKEN ON A MAJOR INITIATIVE. THEY HAVE BUDGETED APPROXIMATELY $37 MILLION OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND SO IS I THAT YEAR ONE OF THAT PROGRAM. THEY ARE FINISHING UP THE TOUCHES ON THE NEW TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER AND WITH THAT THESE PROJECTS WILL BE COMING ONLINE OVER THE NEXT -- THIS YEAR FOR THESE PROJECTS HERE BUT YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE SOME OF THESE OVER THE NEXT TO TO THREE YEARS AS WELL. THE VEHICLE DETECTION SYSTEM TOWARDS THE BOTTOM THERE IS AN $8 MILLION PROGRAM THAT WE'LL BE INITIATING. THE TRAFFIC CABINET, LOCAL CONTROLLER, AND CENTRAL SYSTEM SOFTWARE, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS A LOT OF TRANSPOATION BUT IT'S VERY CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. MOST OF OUR CABINETS IN THE FIELD ARE ANYWHERE FROM UP TO 20 YEARS OLD AND JUST DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY OR THE NEED THAT WE NEED ANYMORE AND SO THEY'VE GOT TO BE REPLACED AND SO WE'LL BE STARTING THE INITIAL STAGES OF THAT. THE PHASE FOUR CITYWIDE FIBER, AS THE NUMBER INDICATES, WE HAVE HAD THREE PHASES BEFORE THIS. THIS PHASE FOUR WILL REACH OUT TO THE REMAINING INTERSECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THAT ALLOWS US TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SIGNAL. WE CAN MAK ADJUSTMENTS FROM CITY HALL OR OR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO OUT TO THE FIELD, GO TO THE CABINET, OPEN IT UP AND MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS. THAT FIBER IS GOING TO MAKE THAT INTERACTION THAT MUCH QUICKER. YOU SEE THE CCTV CAMERAS WILL ALLOW US TO ANALYZE AN INTERSECTION THAT MAY HAVE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OR MAY BE EXPERIENCING ISSUES AND IN THE PAST WE HAVE HAD TO ACTUALLY DISPATCH STAFF TO GO OUT AND EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND THEN RETURN BACK TO THE SHOP AND MAKE THE WHATEVER EQUIPMENT OR WHATEVER WAS NEEDED AND THEN GO BACK OUT WITH THESE CAMERAS, WITH THIS FIBER. THOSE THINGS WILL BE DONE REMOTELY AND SO WE CAN DISPATCH SOMEBODY AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. AGAIN, IT WILL BE LIKE THIS FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. MISCELLANEOUS, I MENTIONED LANDSCAPE STREET LIGHTING. THE CITY O PLANO OWNS SCREENING WALLS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY. SOMETIMES WHEN IT GETS TO OUR FAR AS PUBLIC WORKS, IF A AS PANEL GETS HIT THEY'LL DO A PANEL REPLACEMENT. BUT IF THE WALL'S FALLING DOWN, LEANING OVER, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, IF IT HAS TO BE FULLY RECONSTRUCTED, ENGINEERING WILL TAKE THAT AND MAKE A PROJECT OUT OF IT SO IF IT'S A MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, PUBLIC WORKS WILL DEAL WITH THAT BUT IF IT'S JUST A FULL-BLOWN REPLACEMENT, IT WILL COME TO ENGINEERING. MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE. THIS IS ANOTHER BIG NUMBER, NOT A NUMBER WE NORMALLY SEE BUT IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR. THE NUMBER ONE PROJECT ON THERE IS THE CULVERT PROJECT. IT IS ACTIVELY IN CONSTRUCTION. WE ANTICIPATE THAT FINISHING LATER THIS FALL OR EARLY NEXT YEAR. THEY HAVE STARTED LINING THE TUNNELS. YOU CAN SEE THIS PICTURE IS FROM ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THEY'RE PUTTING IN A STEEL REINFORCED CAGE AND THEN THERE'S SHOT CREEK AND FOUR-INCH LIFTS. THE CONCRETE LINER WILL BE ABOUT 14 INCHES THICK WITH THAT STEEL REINFORCEMENT AND IT WILL TAKE THE CURRENT METAL STRUCTURE AND JUST KEEP IT -- IT WON'T EVEN BE NEEDED ANYMORE. THE NEW STRUCTURE WILL HOLD EVERYTHING. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THAT ONE PROGRESSING. THE OTHER ONES ARE JUST MISCELLANEOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE WE MAY GET A DRAINAGE COMPLAINT, DO AN INVESTIGATION, HAVE A CAPACITY CONCERN. WE ALSO HAVE STREAM BANK STABILIZATION IN HERE AS WELL. 16th STREET AT SPRING CREEK, EROSION CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS. THAT'S ONE OF THOSE WHERE WE MAY HAVE TO COME IN AND DO SOME SORT OF EROSION CONTROL OR THE BASKETS, WHICH I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE ALL SEEN THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WATER IMPROVEMENT, $15 MILLION. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE DOING WATER REHAB AND I WON'T LIST EVERY SINGLE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH PLANO'S INFRASTRUCTURE MOST OF IT WAS BUILT IN THE LATE '70s, '80s, EVEN INTO THE EARLY '90s. THAT'S ALL APPROACHING THAT 40, ALMOST 50-YEAR LIFE AND SO WE'VE GOT PIPE OUT THERE THAT'S CAST IRON, THAT'S CLAY PIPE THAT THEY DON'T EVEN USE ANYMORE. WHEN WE COORDINATE WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS GUP, THE LOCATION THAT WE CAN CONSTANTLY GET MAIN BREAKS OR MAINTENANCE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, WE'LL GO IN AND DO UPWARDS OF A MILE OF PIPE REPLACEMENT. THIS LIST HERE IS THAT ACTIVE LIST THAT WE ARE WORKING ON. THESE ARE IN A COMBINATION OF DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND THEN THE LAST ONE FOR US IS SEWER IMPROVEMENT. THESE USUALLY RELATE TO SIMILAR TO THE WATER REHAB AS FAR AS THE MAINTENANCE. BUT WE DO HE SOME LARGE CAPACITY PROJECTS. ESSENTIALLY WE ARE LOOKING TO MAKE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS FROM COIT ALL THE WAY TO ALMA ALONG PGBT AND IT'S BROKEN UP HERE.THREE DIFFERENT PROJECTS- THE FIRST ONE PGBT SEWER, THAT ONE IS ONE WE EXPECT TO GO TO CONSTRUCTION LATER THIS FALL. THE COLLIN CREEK WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE. WE HAD PARALLEL PIPES. WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT CAME IN WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE ONE OF THOSE, SO THAT HELPS OUR COHORTS IN PUBLIC WORKS BECAUSE IT'S ONE LESS PIP THAT THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN. THE PLANO PARKWAY PARALLEL INTERCEPTOR AND THE DALLAS PHASE TWO ARE TWO OF THOSE OTHER CAPACITIES THAT WILL BE ALONG PGBT FROM COIT TO ALMA. AERIAL CROSSINGS, WE'LL DO A FEW REPAIRS HERE AND THERE. I BELIEVE WITH THAT IT IS FACILITIES. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR ME BEFORE I LEAVE? >> Chair Downs: QUESTIONS? >> ONE QUESTION. THIS MAY BE A GENERAL QUESTION. THE PRIORITIES OF THE PROJECT, HOW IS THAT DETERMINED? IS THE COMP PLA USED AS SOME KIND OF FILTER TO DETERMINE THAT OR IS IT JUST CRITICALITY, END OF LIFE THAT BUBBLES IT UP TO THE TOP OF THE LIST? >> AS FAR AS WHAT WE CHOOSE TO REPLACE? IT WILL BE THE CRITICALITY. WE WORK WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND DAN PRENDERGAST WILL BE GOING HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. THEY WILL IDENTIFY A LIST OF PROJECTS AND BASED ON THAT LIST WHAT WE HAVEN'T DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS WE'LL GO IDENTIFY THE CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF IT. IF IT'S A WATER OR SEWER, PAVEMENT REPAIR. AND THEN WE'LL PK THE TOP ONES OF THAT LIST AND GET THOSE ON TO OUR DESIGN LIST. >> Olley: THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER STONE. >> Stone: YES. LET'S RETURN FOR A MOMENT TO THE TRANSPORTATION STUDIES. >> YES, SIR. >> Stone: I'M SURE WE'RE ALL AWARE THAT THE TRAFFIC ISSUES IN ■PLANO HAVE INCREASED A LOT OVER THE YEARS. CAN YOU SHARE WITH US SOME OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEING TRAFFIC STUDIES TODAY AND THE ONES YOU EXPECT TO COMPLETE IN THIS COMING YEAR COMPARED, SAY,O FIVE YEARS AGO. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE OR CHARACTERIZE HOW THE TRAFFIC HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS? >> YEAH, AS WE ALL KNOW IT'S BEEN A VERY HIT OR MISS TARGET IN THE LAST -- ESPECIALLY THE LAST FIVE YEARS WITH COVID. I JOKED WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION MANAGER, BRIAN, THAT HE SOLVED OUR PROBLEMS WHEN COVID CAME BECAUSE EVERYBODY LEFT THE ROADS. BUT IT IS ALL BACK PLUS SOME. WE ATTEND OVER AT THE COG A TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE LANES ALONG 75, WHICH WOULD BE A HUGE BENEFIT TO THE CITY. AS FAR AS THE CITY ITSELF, YOU KNOW, THESE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ARE THINGS THAT WE TRY TO ALLEVIATE CONGESTION BECAUSE, REALLY, BETWEEN INTERSECTIONS WE DON'T HAVE NECESSARILY A CAPACITY ISSUE. IT'S THE INTERSECTIONS THAT CREATE THE BOTTLENECKS. HONESTLY AT MOST INTERSECTIONS WE CAN'T ADD ENOUGH LANES AND I'M SURE THE LAST THING, ESPECIALLY OUR PLANNING FRIENDS WOULD WANT TO SEE, IS 15-LANE INTERSECTIONS THAT NECK DOWN TO A TWO-LANE ROAD. IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE. WITH SOME OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING, THE CAMERAS, THE VEHICLE DETECTION -- I MAY NOT HAVE GONE INTO TOO MUCH ETAIL. THE VEHICLE DETECTION WILL ACTUALLY SENSE VEHICLES IN THE LANES AND DETERMINE WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN OR TURN RED AND SO ON. IF THERE ARE NO VEHICLES AT THAT ONE LEG OF THE INTERSECTION, IT KNOWS IT CAN TURN THAT TO A STOP CONDITION. IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE BENEFIT. WE HAVE SOME OF THAT TECHNOLOGY NOW BUT IT'S VERY OL AND IT'S NOT CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY SO THIS PROGRAM WILL HOPEFULLY UPDATE THAT. >> Stone: THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER CARY. >> Cary: ACTUALLY, YOU JUST ADDRESSED ONE OF THE THINGS, VEHICLE DETECTION WAS INTERESTING TO ME. JUST MY GENERAL OBSERVATION -- I KNOW WE'RE DOING SOME WORK TRYING TO FLOW THE TRAFFIC BETTER. IT SEEMS AS IF THAT'S THE CASE TO ME -- AND MAYBE IT HAS TO DO WITH REDUCED TRAFFIC BUT I'VE GOT TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS. THE FIRST ONE IS ARE WE ALREADY SEEING BENEFIT FROM SOME OF WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING, IN YOUR OPINION, ON TRAFFIC FLOW? TO ME IT SEEMS BETTER. >> WE HAVE SEEN A HUGE BENEFIT AT PLANO PARKWAY AND PRESTON ROAD. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT FROM YEARS AGO, THAT WAS A DOUBLE DIAMOND OR A DUAL INTERSECTION ESSENTIALLY. WITH TAKING THAT EXTRA LIGHT OUT, IT'S ALLOWED MORE TRAFFIC TO MOVE THROUGH THERE. NOW, PRESTON ROAD IS 60,000 VEHICLES A DAY SO THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO. BUT THE OTHER HUGE BENEFIT WE HAVE SEEN AT PGBT AT PRESTON WITH THE ADDITION OF THE RIGHT-TURN LANE AND THE DUAL LEFT. THE RIGHT-TURN LANE GOING TO THE WEST AND THE DUAL LANE GOING TO THE EAST. WE HAVE SEEN HUGE BENEFITS THERE. WE DO SEE BENEFITS WHEN WE DO THESE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY ARE CAPACITY BUT SOMETIMES THEY'RE SAFETY. WE'VE GOT ISSUES WHERE THERE'S SIGHT DISTANCE CONCERNS. SO WE LOOK AT IT FROM NOT ONLY THE CONGESTION BUT ALSO THE SAFETY. ONE OF OUR HIGHEST ACCIDENT LOCATIONS IS AT PRESTON AND TOWN CENTER, I BELIEVE, JUST SOUTH OF THE FRISCO CITY LIMITS. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT AN ACTUAL SIGNAL AT THAT LATION. IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA, THERE'S SHOPS ON BOTH SIDES. THERE'S VEHICLES GOING 45, 50 WHATEVER THE SPEEDS ARE GOING. AND IT'S JUST WE DON'T WANT TO ADD SIGNALS IF WE DON'T HAVE TO BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST WARRANTS IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SAFETY. >> Cary: GREAT. THANK YOU. THE OTHER IS A SIMPLE QUESTION. WE'RE REPLACING SOME PIPES UNDER THE WATER PROJECTS. I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE LIFE SPAN OF THE REPLACEMENT PIPES WOULD BE. I THINK YOU MENTIONED A 50-YEAR LIFE SPAN. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT WITH THE REPLACEMENT PIPES? >> I DON'T KNOW IF DAN'S GOT A DIFFERENT RESPONSE FOR PVC -- I HEARD 50 -- UP TO 100 FOR A PVC PIPE. MOST OF OUR PIPE REPLACEMENTS ARE CAST IRON PIPES, WHICH OBVIOUSLY CAST IRON RUSTS AND ROTS. CLAY PIPE GETS BRITTLE OVER TIME SO A LOT OF THESE WE'RE HOPING, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT WE WILL ALSO DO WHEN WE GO IN THERE TO REPLACE THE PIPE IS WE DON'T JUST REPLACE THE PIPE, IF THE ROAD OR SIDEWALK NEEDS REPAIR, WE'LL WORK WITH DAN AND HIS STAFF TO SAY HERE'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO A WATER PIPE. HOPEFULLY WE'RE IN THERE ONE TIME AND WE GET OUT. >> Cary: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER BRONSKY. >> Bronsky: SO I WAS WATCHING THE CONSTRUCTION YOU'VE GOT GOING ON ON CUSTER ROAD, SOUTH OF SPRING CREEK BEFORE YOU GET TO PARKER, REMOVING ALL OF THE RED BUD AND PUTTING IN -- I GUESS THERE'S A SOLID WALL GOING I THERE. WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE THE COST BENEFIT TO MAKE THAT SWITCH? >> SO THAT ACTUALLY INVOLVES SEVERAL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS. A LOT OF THE TIMES -- SO THE RED BUDS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LIVING SCREEN, OBVIOUSLY PLANTS. AND WHAT SOMETIMES WILL BE INITIATED IS THE PUBLIC WILL COME TO US AND SAY WE WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THIS LIVING SCREEN WITH A SCREENING WALL OR BRICK SCREENING WALL. THAT'S ONE OF THE STEPS THAT WE'LL TAKE. IF IT'S -- DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION OF THE LIVING SCREEN, IF IT'S GOING TO COST MORE TO GO BACK AND ADD ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT IS, 15-YEAR RED BUDS, WE'LL DO AN EVALUATION AND DETERMINE IF A SCREENING WALL WOULDN'T BE THE BEST REPLACEMENT FOR THAT. >> Bronsky: WHEN YOU'RE DOING ALL THIS ARE YOU IN COMMUNICATION AND CONTACT WITH ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THAT? >> YEAH, SO A LOT OF THE TIMES FOR THOSE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS, USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS IT'S AN EXISTING SCREENING WALL OR EXISTING LIVING SCREEN, WHICH TYPICALLY MEANS WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE AN EASEMENT FORHAT. AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL COME TO US AND SAY WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS WALL REPLACED, A LOT OF TIMES WE HAVE TO ACQUIRE EASEMENTS TO PUT THAT WALL IN BECAUSE WE NEED MAINTENANCE ROOM. WE'RE ALWAYS IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN WE'RE DOING AN ACTIVE PROJECT LIKE THAT. >> Bronsky: WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE TRAFFIC STUDIES, THE MIXED USE PROJECTS COMING IN THAT ARE FOCUSING A LOT ON WALKABILITY, HOW IS THAT IMPACTING THE TRAFFIC FLOW STUDIES AND THINGS THAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT IN THE FUTURE? >> SO IT'S REALLY A CASE-BY-CASE EXAMPLE. AND SO RENE MENTIONED EARLIER THE PARK ACQUISITION. SO THAT'S ONE WHERE THEY'RE ADDING A TRAIL ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PARK. I BELIEVE THEY'VE GOT A Z-CROSSING. WHICH, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, IT CROSSES AND GOES INTO THE MEDIAN. IT MOVES OVER, OFFSETS, AND CROSSES BACK OVER. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE BUT, AGAIN, IT'S REALLY A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. WE TRY OUR BEST NOT TO EXPAND INTERSECONSO A POINT TO WHERE YOU'RE CROSSING 100 FEET OF PAVEMENT. BUT WE ALSO TRY TO LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREAS TO DETERMINE WHAT THE WALKABLE AREAS ARE GOING TO BE TO THAT. COLLIN CREEK IS GOING TO BE A REALLY GOOD CASE EXAMPLE BECAUSE OF THE DENSITY OF THAT AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY WALKABLE COMMUNITY. >> Bronsky: THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER RATLIFF. >> Ratliff: THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO SEE ONE OF YOUR PRESENTATIONS. 176 PROJECTS IN A YEAR. IS THAT A NORMAL LOAD? IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF WORK. >> WE WERE AT 97 -- I BELIEVE IT WAS 97, RIGHT? >> Chair Downs: YES. >> I SHOULD KNOW THAT. >> 176 IS COMBINING ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS TOGETHER. >> Ratliff: I'M TRYING TO FIND ALL MY RIGHT NUMBERS. >> EVEN 97 IS VERY HIGH AND IT'S ROBUST BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE. NOW, THAT INCLUDES TRANSPORTATION SO TYPICALLY TRANSPORTATION DOESN'T HAVE THE INITIATE TTHEY HAVE RIGH NOWT ABOUT 15 PROJECTS. SO IF YOU TAKE THAT 15 OUT, THAT PUTS US AROUND 80. THAT'S NOT TOO FAR OFF WHERE WE'RE NORMALLY AT. BUT IT HAS BEEN INCREASING OVER THE YEARS. >> Ratliff: IT SEEMS LIKE AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAM SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR TACKLING IT. THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE PROBABLY READY TO BE OFF THE HOT SEAT BUT I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS. >> OKAY. >> Chair Downs: YOU MENTIONED THE FIBER IN THE INTERSECTIONS. THAT DOESN'T ELIMINATE THE CONTROL BOXES, THOUGH. WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE CONTROL BOXES AT THE INTERSECTIONS FOR THAT. I GUESS I SEE WHEN THERE'S AN ACCIDENT IT'S THE CONTROL BOX THAT GETS TAKEN OUT SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO TO HELP MINIMIZE THAT. WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FIBER I WENT NO MORE CONTROL BOX. >> NO, THAT CONTROL BOX IS ESSENTIALLY THE BRAIN FOR THAT INTERSECTION. SO THE TRAFFIC CABINET IS WHAT WE CALL THOSE. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE GOING IN TO REPLACE. WHAT THE FIBER WILL DO -- SO A LOT OF OUR INTERSECTIONS WE HAVE REMOTE CAPABILITY TO MODIFY THE SIGNAL ORDINATI. BUT A T OF THAT RIGHT S WE CALL IT A CRADLE POINT OR ESSENTIALLY IT'S LIKE THERE'S A CELL PHONE THERE. SO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CALL IT THERE. EVERYBODY KNOWS WITH A CELL PHONE IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES WITH THE TOWER OR WEATHER CONDITIONS OR IF YOU'VE GONE FROM A SATELLITE TV TO A STREAMING TV, FIBER IS THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE IF THERE'S EVER A WEATHER CONDITION, WHAT THAT FIBER WILL ALLOW US TO DO IS HAVE UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE AND BE MORE RELIABLE AND QUICKER THAN WE HAVE TODAY WITH THE CRADLE POINT OR THE CELL SERVICE. >> Chair Downs: I NOTICE ALONG CUSTER YOU MENTIONED SAFETY EARLIER. AT ONE POINT THE POWER LINES WERE LEANING ALMOST ALL THE WAY OVER. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOT THOSE REPLACED THEN, WHICH IS GREAT. IS THAT WALL ALONG THERE ON THERE? BECAUSE, IN MY OPINION, ONE OF THE MOST NEGATIVE APPEARANCES THAT I'VE SEEN. >> I'LL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK. I KNOW WE'VE GOT ONE ALONG INDEPENDENCE. I NEED TO GO BACK AND CHECK. I DON'T REMEMBER THE ONE ON CUSTER BEING REPLACED. >> Chair Downs: IT FOLLOWED THE PATH OF THE POLES. IT ACTUALLY LEANS OVER FAR ENOUGH WHERE IF YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THAT SIDEWALK, IT WANTS TO PUSH YOU INTO THE STREET. >> I WILL DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT ONE. >> Chair Downs: LASTLY I THINK ALL OF US WOULD APPRECIATE MORE OF THE ASPHALT YOU PUT ALONG PARKER AND INDEPENDENCE. JUST DO THE WHOLE CITY THAT WAY AND WE'LL BE GOOD. [LAUGHTER] >> THAT IS DAN'S DEPARTMENT, FOR SURE. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. IS DAN NEXT? >> MR. COONZA IS NEXT TO TALK ABOUT OUR FACILITIES, WHICH ARE NICE AND COMFORTABLE. >> DAY 30 OF 100 DEGREES. >> GOOD EVENING. HOW IS EVERYBODY? >> Chair Downs: GOOD EVENING. >> I'M THE BIG GUY WITH JUST A FEW SLIDES. SO WE ONLY HAVE 53 PROJECTS THIS YEAR. $37MILLION IN CIP. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE PROJECTS WE ARE TEAMING UP WITH OUR RECREATION BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON. THE REC CENTERS, PARKS MAINTENANCE BUILDINGS, WE WILL ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT THOSE. THEY WILL GET THE FUNDING FOR THEM AND FACILITIES WILL CONSTRUCT THOSE. OUR $37 MILLION IS BROKEN UP INTO TWO POTS, BASICALLY. $25MILLION IS OUR BOND FUNDING AND THEN $12 MILLION IS OUR CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDING. AS EVERYBODY ELSE HAS PRESENTED BEFORE, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE WE'RE USING IT FOR LIGHT, MEDIUM-SIZED PROJECTS, MAINTENANCE, STUFF LIKE THAT. A FEW OF OUR BOND PROJECTS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS YEAR, RENE HAS ALREADY REPORTED ON TOM MUEHLENBECK CENTER. FIRE STATION FIVE, WE'RE ABOUT TO GET THAT UNDER DESIGN. COUNCIL CHAMBERS, WE ARE GETTING MUCH, MUCH CLOSER. WE ARE UNDER DESIGN. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF OPEN DISCUSSION WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT GROUPS AND WE DID A TOUR OF SIX COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF OTHER CITIES TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT AND MAYBE NOT SO MUCH. OAK POINT PARK MAINTENANCE IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE PARKS FUNDED BUT FACILITIES BUILT. FUELING STATION, WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING THAT IN THIS YEAR AND THEN A BUNCH OF OTHER PROJECTS COMBINED. A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE. WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING FURNITURE. AS ALWAYS, WE'RE CONSTANTLY REPLACING FURNITURE. OUR FIRE STATIONS, THE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL DOORS HAS GOTTEN AGED AND BEING NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER SO WE HAVE HAD TO SELECT A NEW PRODUCT AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH ALL THE FIRE STATIONS AND REPCING ALL T REMOTE-CONTROLLED DOOR OPERATORS. SO RENE TALKED A BIT ABOUT TOM MUEHLENBECK. I'LL GO INTO A LITTLE MORE IN DETAIL. WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPLETELY RENOVATING THE LOCKER ROOMS. THEY'RE GOING TO GET BRAND-NEW LOCKER ROOMS. ALL NEW AQUATIC PLAY FEATURES. WE HOPE TO GET NEW WATER SLIDES WHILE REFURBING THE EXISTING. WE HAVE A FEW ADA ISSUES. WE'RE GOING TO RENOVATE THE LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION, NOT NECESSARILY THE WHOLE CAMPUS BUT A LARGE SELECTION OF IT. REPLACE THE WHOLE ROOF, BECAUSE IT'S AT THE POINT WHERE IT'S GETTING WORN OUT. OUR HVAC REACHES THAT SAME MATURITY LEVEL WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, ALL THE ROOFTOP UNITS. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO A WHOLE MESS OF INTERIOR FINISHES AND ALSO REPLACE THE LIGHTING AND ALL THE SOUND SYSTEMS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY IN THE BUILDING. FIRE STATION 5, IT'S ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION AT MUEHLENBECK. WE'RE ABOUT TO SELECT THE ARCHITECT AND GET THAT UNDERWAY. WE ARE LOOKING TO PUT MORE APPARATUS IN THIS BUILDING. I THINK WE'LL BE ADDING AN AMBULANCE TO THE BUILDING. IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY BY MOVING ROOMS AROUND IN IT. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BUILD A STORM SHELTER IN IT THAT WILL KEEP OUR FIRST RESPONDERS SAFE IF IT TAKES A DIRECT HIT BY A TORNADO. AND WE ARE ALSO GOING TO CLEAN UP SOME ADA ISSUES AND RENOVATE THE LOCKER ROOMS AND KITCHEN. AND AGAIN, THIS ROOM, THE MAIN POINTS OF THIS ROOM WAS TO IMPROVE THE ACCESSIBILITY. THE AUDIO AND ACOUSTICAL AND CURI ISSS WE, ON TOP OF ALL OF THOSE, WE'RE GOING TO ADD A LOT OF NEW FINISHES. THIS DAIS IS GOING TO BE STRAIGHTENED OUT SO THESE FOLKS OVER HERE WON'T HAVE THEIR BACK TO THE AUDIENCE ANYMORE. WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY IMPROVE ALL THE SOUND AND THE BROADCAST CAPABILITIES TOO. I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE IT FOR ME. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR FACILITIES? >> Chair Downs: QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. SO ALL THESE FACILITY RENOVAONS AND I GUESS REPLACEMENTS LIKE FURNITURE, DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A POLICY OF A PERIODIC UPDATES? >> SURE. WE HAVE A SYSTEM WHERE WE KEEP ALL OF OUR BUILDING INVENTORY ASSETS AND WE ASSIGN A LIFE SPAN TO THEM. AND WE CATALOG THEM AND TRACK THEM. SO AS EACH YEAR COMES UP WE'RE ADDING TO WHAT IT NEEDS TO REPLACE, WHETHER IT'S FURNITURE, WHETHER IT'S THE ROOF, WHETHER IT'S THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM, CARPET. WE HAVE ALL OF THA ALL INVENTORIED AND A DOLLAR IT. WE'RE CONSTANTLY PLANNING FOR THAT IN THE FUTURE. >> THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: I'LL START ON THE END. >> Olley: HAPPY TO SEE THAT POLICE ARE GETTING AC. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE ADA AND ACCESSIBILITY. WHAT ARE WE DOING THERE? ARE WE JUST TRYING TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE? >> I'M SORRY? >> Olley: THE ADA AND ACCESSIBILITY. >> FOR THIS ROOM? >> Olley: I THINK IT WAS THIS ROOM AND IN GENERAL. >> A LOT OF THE PROJECTS, THE EXISTING BUILDINGS -- SO A LOT OF OUR BUILDINGS WERE BUILT IN THE EARLY '90s. THE ADA WASN'T KICKED IN UNTIL THE MID '90s SO A LOT OF THINGS ARE CLOSE BUT THEY'RE NOT CLOSE ENOUGH. SO IF YOU WANT TO ASK WHICH PROJECT, I CAN KIND OF GO INTO MORE SPECIFICS. FOR THIS ROOM I CAN TELL YOU THE RAMP OVER HERE, THE LAST LEG OF THIS RAMP IS TOO STEEP. WE HAVE ALREADY CORRECTED A LOT OF THE ISSUES IN HERE. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT COMPANION SEATING. THAT'S BEEN CORRECTED. WE DO HAVE TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF THE ARMS ON THESE CHAIRS THAT CAN BE FOLDED U FOR LARGER GUESTS. WE HAVE -- I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER ALL THAT IS ON THE LIST. WE TRIED TO GET AS MANY AS WE COULD EARLY ON. AT ONE POINT WE COULDN'T GET AROUND TO THE DAIS. WE'VE CORRECTED IT OVER HERE. IT'S NOT OPTIMAL. WE WANT TO IMPROVE THAT ON THE RENOVATION. >> Olley: NO NEED TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING. JUST WANTED TO GET -- >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO IS WE HAVE -- T DEPTMENT OF JUSTICE REQUIRESUS TO DO THIS BUT WE DO IT ON GOOD PRACTICE ANYWAYS. WE HAVE -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW HOW THE STATE OF TEXAS WORKS. THE TEXAS ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS. THEY HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE LICENSED CALLED REGISTERED ACCESSIBILITY SPECIALISTS. NOT ONLY DO WE INVOLVE THEM IN OUR PROJECTS TO LOOK AT OUR DRAWINGS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CORRECT BUT THEY ALSO WALK THE PROJECTS UPON COMPLETION TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE. BEYOND THAT, WHAT WE HAVE THEM DO IS WE HAVE THEM WALK OUR EXISTING FACILITIES AND WE KEEP WHAT'S CALLED THE TRANSITION PLAN AND ITHOWS US ALL THE ISSUES AND WE'RE CATALOGING THEM IN OUR BUILDINGS. AND IN THAT TRANSITION PLAN WE LAY OUT WHEN AND HOW WE WILL ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. IT MAY BE THAT WE IDENTIFY A BUILDING AND THE NEXT TIME WE RENOVATE A BUILDING WE'LL ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING WE FEEL NEEDS TO BE FIXED RIGHT AWAY, WE'LL FIND THE FUNDS TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER STONE. >> Stone: THANK YOU. GOOD PRESENTATION. YOU MENTIONED IN PASSING, FUELING STATIONS. E WE TALKING ELECTRIC AND GASOLINE AND SECONDLY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT SCATTERING THEM AROUND THE CITY IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS? CAN YOU GIVE US A LITTLE DETAIL ON THAT? >> SO WHAT I'M SPEAKING OF IS AN A FUELING STATION. IT IS GOING TO BE PART OF OUR STRATEGIC RESERVE. IT'S MOSTLY MEANT FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER VEHICLES BUT IT'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL CITY VEHICLES. IT IS NOT ELECTRIC BUT I CAN TELL YOU THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THAT WE ARE PUTTING INTO AND STUDYING ELECTRIC. IT'S STILL IN ITS INFANCY AND PART OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HAS TO GO WITH OUR FLEET RENOVATION AND OUR PUBLIC WORKS RENOVATION WHERE THAT GOES. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SCATTERED OUT. IT'S GOING TO BE ONE CENTRAL BUT WE DO HAVE A FUEL TRUCK THAT DOES ALSO EXTEND OUR CAPABILITY. >> THANK YOU. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MUEHLENBECK AND FANTASTIC FACILITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY. QUICK QUESTION IS WHAT'S HAPPENED RECENTLY TO CAPACITY AND THE THINGS YOU'RE PLANNING TD WILL THAT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON EXPECTED FUTURE CAPACITY? BECAUSE I THINK THAT CENTER IS GETTING A LOT OF USE AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S INCREASING, MAYBE. >> WE ARE NOT INCREASING ANY SQUARE FOOTAGE. I'M NOT SURE WE'RE GOING TO REALLY INCREASE THE CAPACITY. I MAY ASK MY REC FRIENDS. I DON'T BELIEVE THE INTENT IS -- IT'S TO ADD BETTER PROGRAMMING, ADD MORE FEATURES, REFRESH IT BECAUSE IT'S GETTING OLDER. ADDING CAPACITY WAS NOT PART OF IT. >> Cary: THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: OKAY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: MR. PRENDERGAST. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M DAN PRENDERGAST, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS HERE TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF OUR 2022-2023 CIP. OUR DEPARTMENT'S GOT 70 TOTAL PROJECTS WHICH CONSIST OF BOTH STREET IMPROVEMENT. TOTAL FUNDING IS JUST OVER $93 MILLION, WHICH IS 28% OF THE OVERALL CIP. AS FAR AS STREET FUNDING GOES WE USE BOND FUNDING AND CMF FUNDING. A LOT OF THE SAME TYPE OF STUFF GOING ON, THOUGH. BOND FUNDING IS $50.7 MILLION. CMF, JUST OVER $29 MILLION FOR A TOTAL STREET FUNDING OF JUST OVER $80 MILLION. A LOT OF MONEY GOING INTO STREET WORK NOW. AS FAR AS BOND GOES, WE GOT $50.7 MILLION AND SPLIT INTO RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND ALLEYS. THOSE ARE DONE BISONS, $25 MILLION. WE HAVE ARTERIAL CONCRET REPAIR AND OVERLAY AT $25.7 MILLION. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HERE IS JUPITER ROAD BETWEEN PARK AND CHAPARRAL THAT WAS DONE LAST YEAR. WE'RE DOING A LOT MORE OF THAT COMING UP AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE PRESENTATION . AS FAR AS RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS, LIKE I SAID WE GO BY ZONE. WHEN WE GO BY ZONE, THE CONTRACTOR WORKS STREET BY STREET, REPAIRS ALL THE DAMAGED STREET, CONCRETE, THE SIDEWALK AND ALLEY CONCRETE AND THEN WE DO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SO EVERY PIECE OF PAVEMENT GETS SOME MAINTENANCE DONE TO IT. THIS HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE AREAS IN GREEN ARE CURRENT PROJECTS ONGOING RIGHT NOW AND THEN WE'RE ADDING IN AREA D6 ON THE WEST SIDE AND THEN ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF TOWN. FOR ARTERIALS HERE, THIS IS THE PLAN COMING UP. I'LL GO BY COLOR HERE. SO THE GRAY AREAS THAT YOU SEE ON HERE ARE COMPLETED OVERLAYS. ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN WE HAVE WINDHAVEN PARKWAY. PARKER ROAD WAS DONE LAST YEAR. INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY WE DID ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO. GOT JUPITER ROAD THAT WAS JUST FINISHED. ON THE YELLOW SIDE WE HAVE DONE CONCRETE REPAIRS AND YOU'LL SEE OVERLAYS GO DOWN IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER ON PLANO PARKWAY AND THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF TOWN. COIT ROAD AND THEN LEGACY DRIVE ON THE NORTHEAST PART OF DOWN. A LOT OF OVERLAY GOING DOWN IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS AND THOSE WILL BE NIGHT WORK BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY ON COIT ROAD, TO SHUT DOWN TWO LANES TO GO THROUGH INTERSECTIONS WHEN IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. THEN IN ORANGE HERE ARE ALL THE CONCRETE PROJECTS THAT W HAVE THAT WILL BE OVERLAYS IN THE FUTURE. YOU'VE GOT PARKER ROAD EAST AND WEST. THOSE PROJECTS HAVE STARTED CONSTRUCTION AND THEY'RE WORKING FROM THE CITY LIMITS INWARD. WE'VE GOT PLANO PARKWAY THAT REALLY NEEDS A REHAB. THAT STARTED CONSTRUCTION AS WELL ON THE EAST PART OF TOWN. HEDGCOXE HAS BID AND WE'LL START CONSTRUCTION IN THE NEXT MONTH. INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY IS UNDER DESIGN AND THAT WILL FOLLOW THE COMPLETION OF COIT ROAD SO WE DON'T HAVE TWO PARALLEL PROJECTS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME. NEXT IS OUR CAPITAL INTENAE FUNDED PROJECTS AT $29 MILLION. THESE ARE SMALLER PROJECTS WHERE WE REPAIR A SMALLER SECTION OF ROAD. SAME TYPE OF WORK. I'LL POINT OUT JOINT SEALING AND UNDER SEALING. SEALING JOINTS KEEPS THE WATER OUT. SCREENING WALLS, WE DO PANEL REPLACEMENTS AND THEN IF THE FOUNDATION IS IN GOOD SHAPE PUBLIC WORKS TAKES ON THE FULL WALL REPLACEMENT. IF THE FOUNDATION IS IN BAD SHAPE IT GOES TO ENGINEERING OF THE FOUNDION.LL REPLACEMENT NEXT IS THE TRAFFIC COMPONENT OF THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND. THAT INCLUDES SIGNALIZATION UPGRADES, PAVEMENT MARKINGS, STREET LIGHTING, TRAFFIC GUARDRAILS AND TRAFFIC SIGN REPLACEMENTS. ALL OF THIS ALLOWS US TO KEEP OUR TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. NEXT IS WATER. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT THERE IS A WATER MAIN BREAK ON 15th STREET FROM LAST YEAR. 24-INCH WATER MAIN. OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS GETTING OLDER. WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON OUR SMALL MAINS IN NEIGHBORHOODS BUT WE NEED TO DO SOME MORE WORK ON OUR LARGE DIAMETER MAINS. WE HAVE INVESTIGATIONS FOR LARGE PIPE. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT DOING LEAK DETECTION, PUMP STATION REHAB. WE'VE GOT MONEY IN THERE TO HELP OUR CREWS OUT FOR MAJOR WATER LINE REPAIRS. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT WATER QUALITY. AS THE CONTRACT CHANGES WITH THE DISTRICT TO A FIVE YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE WE WANT TO DECREASE OUR FLUSHING. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO SO WE'VE GOT A CONTRACT RIGHT NOW WITH A CONSULTANT TO UPDATE OUR WATER MODEL AND THEN BE ABLE TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOSIKE CHLORINE DOSING AND TANKS THAT WILL REDUCE OUR FLUSHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR. AND FINALLY I'VE GOT WASTEWATER HERE. MOST OF THESE THINGS ARE BASED ON OUR CAPACITY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN. MOST OF IT FOCUSES ON THE CONDITION OF THE SEWER LINE AS WELL AS KEEPING STORMWATER OUT OF OUR SEWER LINES BECAUSE THE SEWER LINES ARE CARRYING STORMWATER. LESS CAPACITY FOR SEWAGE. YOU'VE GOT REPAIRS, MAIN HOLE SEALING, WASTEWATER SYSTEMS, INSPECTIONS, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE GOING ON IN THE PTURE TO THE. THOSE ARE ALL KIND OF THE COMPONENTS OF OUR $6 MILLION WASTEWATER PROGRAM . AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP WHERE YOU WERE SHOWING THE OVERLAYS? >> SURE. >> THERE YOU GO. THE GAP ON PARKER ROAD THERE. >> YES. THERE IS AN ENGINEERING PROJECT AT THAT GAP TO REPLACE PARKER ROAD COMPLETELY. SO IT WILL BE ONE CONTINUOUS FINISHED PROJECT BUT THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR A FEW YEARS AND THINK IT'S GOING TO CONSTRUCTION -- I DON'T KNOW WHERE CALEB WENT. THERE HE IS. SOON. THIS YEAR? YES. SO THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN MY CIP. IT'S IN HIS CIP. THAT'S WHY IT'S LEFT OUT OF THE MAP. >> BUT IT WILL BE COMPLETELY -- >> CORRECT. >> I SAW THAT AND I WAS KIND OF CONFUSED FOR A SECOND. I KNOW WHEN WE INITIALLY LOOKED AT THE OVERLAYS WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT LIFE SPANS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. HOW ARE THEY DOING? >> YEAH, SO OUR OLDEST ONE BY FAR IS INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY. I LIVE WEST O INDEPENNCE PARKWAY SO I DRIVE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY. MY WIFE LAUGHS AT ME BECAUSE I STARE AT THE PAVEMENT. IT'S DOING VERY WELL. WE SEE A LITTLE BIT OF DEFECTS GOING ON HERE AND THERE. WE EXPECTED TO GET EIGHT YEARS ORIGINALLY, I THINK WE CAN GET TEN FROM THE OVERLAY PORTION BUT THE CONCRETE IS IN GREAT CONDITION COMPARED TO THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. THE OVERLAY SEALS OFF THE AS FAR AS. CONCRETE PAVEMENT HAS JOINTS. THOSE JOINTS NEED TO BE MAINTAINED AND SO WHEN YOU SEAL OFF THAT WATER, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE FATIGUE THAT YOU SEE IN THE ROADWAYS. >> HOW MUCH ARE WE SEEING IN SAVINGS BY DOING THAT, DO YOU KNOW? >> SO LONG TERM DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES, WHEN WE LOOK AT DOING A REPLACEMENT VERSUS DOING A REPAIR AND OVERLAY THE COSTS AREN'T CLOSE. WE'RE DOING 30% PAVEMENT REPLACEMENT ON A PROJECT AND THE OVERLAY IS $500,000 A MILE WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND $2.5 MILLION. TO REPLACE THAT ENTIRE SECTION OF PAVEMENT AND THE TIME INVOLVED WITH THAT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT $10 MILLION. YOU CAN DO SEVERAL OF THESE PROJECTS OVER 15, 20-YEAR LIFE SPAN AND STILL BE AHEAD OF HAVING TO DO A REPLACEMENT. >> CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT HOW WE'RE DOING WITH THE LEAK DETECTION? I THOUGHT WE HAD SOME OF THAT IN PLACE ALREADY. HOW IS THAT WORKING FOR US? >> SURE. FROM A LEAK DETECTION PERSPECTIVE, WE HAVEN'T HAD A LEAK DEFE DETECTION PROGRAM FOR A LONG TIME. THERE'S A COMPANY THAT CAN D LEAK DETECTION FROM SATELLITES. IT'S BEEN USED IN THE DISTRICT AND IN SEVERAL OTHER CITIES VERY WELL. THEY SCANNED OUR CITY. WE WENT AND DID ACTUAL ON THE GROUND DETECTION TO CONFIRM THE LEAKS. AND FOUND -- I THINK IT WAS 90 LEAKS IN THE FIRST WEEK OR WHATEVER AND WE REPAIRED THEM. WE'RE KEEPING THAT GOING RIGHT NOW. OUR CREWS ARE WORKING A LOT MORE ON MAINTAINING OUR WATER MAINS. WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF WATER BREAKS BECAUSE OF THE USAGE GOING ON. BUT NEXT YEAR IT'S IN THE BUDGET TO KEEP THAT GOING. >> Bronsky: I REMEMBERED SOMETHING ABOUT THATAST YEAR >> W ARE. >> Bronsky: I THINK THAT'S FASCINATING. I THINK THAT IS GOING TO GO TO SAVING THE RESIDENTS A LOT OF MONEY AS WE GET THOSE RESOLVED QUICKER. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: NEXT? THE OVERVIEW. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO CONCLUDE WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE ALIGNMENT FOR THE DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS THAT PRESENTED TONIGHT, AND FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM. SO, BEGINNING WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT'S PLAN ALIGNMENT, WE ANALYZED 85 TOTAL PROJECTS AND CLASSIFIED THEM SUPPORTING NINE COMPONENTS AND 19 TOTAL POLICIES. THE TOP COMPONENT BEING QUALITY OF LIFE AND SAFETY AND SERVICES, AND THE TOP TWO POLICIES SUPPORTED BEING ACTIVE LIVING AND CITIZEN WELL-BEING, AND PARKS AND RECREATION. ENGINEER AND PUBLIC WORKSLAN ALIGNMENT, WE ANALYZED THEM TOGETHER AS 176 PROJECTS, SUPPORTED NINE COMPONENTS AND 20 POLICIES. TOP TWO COMPONENTS BEING SAFETY AND SERVICES AND TRANSPORTATION. AND THE TOP TWO POLICIES BEING FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROADWAY SYSTEM. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE FACILITIES PLAN ALIGNMENT, ANALYZE 53 TOTAL PROJECTS, SUPPORTED SIX COMPONENTS AND 12 POLICIES. TOP COMPONENT BEING ALL PROJECT SUPPORT SAFETY AND SERVICE EXCEPT FOR ONE, AND THE TOP POLICY SUPPORTED BEING FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE EXCEPT FOR ONE. SO, OVERALL REPORTING BASED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'S PILLARS, THIS YEAR'S COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM SUPPORTS A SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT PILLAR THE MOST WITH 182 PROJECTS, SUPPORTING THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SECOND MOST IMPORTANT, 1 PROJECTS ANDHE TOP TWO COMPONENTS SUPPORTED IS SAFETY AND SERVICES AND BUILDING AND SITE EFFICIENCY. AND TO SUMMARIZE OVERALL WE ANALYZED 314 PROJECTS AND ALL PROJECTS SUPPORT AT LEAST ONE COMPONENT AND POLICY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. STAFF RECOMMENDS THE COMMISSION FIND THE 2022-23 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM CONFORMS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND WITH THAT, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> Chair Downs: OKAY. WEE GOT LADIES FIRST. COMMISSIONER TONG. >> Tong: THANK YOU. FIRST OF ALL, I'M SUPER IMPRESSED BY ALL THESE PRESENTATIONS AND THE 314 PROJECTS. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK, SO YOU GUYS WILL BE BUSY FOR A WHILE. SECOND IS ALSO A GENERAL QUESTION REGARDING THE PURPOSE OF THESE PROJECTS. ARE THESE CREATED BASED ON PAST AND CURRENT DEMAND, OR THEY HAVE ALSO CONSIDERED FUTURE DEMAND BASED ON OUR RECENT APPROVED PROJECT? THERE MIGHT BE SOME FUTURHUGE DEVELOPMENTS IN BOTH QUEST SIDEE AND EAST SIDE, WITH THE MALL RENOVATION AND THE FARM, ALL THESE HUGE PROJECT WILL BRING HUGE DEMAND TO THE COMMUNITY. ARE THESE PROJECTS ALSO HAVE -- TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OF THE FUTURE GROWTH IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, IMAGINING THIS IS FOR THE FIVE YEARS PLAN? >> CORRECT. SO, THIS PARTICULAR PRESENTATION IS JUST OVER THE NEXT '22-23 BUDGET CIP, BUT IT DOES OUTLINE THE ANTICIPATED BUDGET PROCESS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, SO THEY DO TAKE THOSE INTO EFFECTIVE AS WELL. >> Tong: OKAY. SO THIS HAS ALREADY CONSIDERED ALL THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS ALREADY IN LINE FOR THE FUTURE. >> TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, YES. BUT I BELIEVE AS PROJECTS -- AS THE NEED FOR PROJECTS COME ALONG, THEN THEY WILL REALLOCATE MONEY FOR THOSE PROJECTS, I BELIEVE. >> Tong: OKAY. THANKS. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER BRONSKY. >> Bronsky: SO, I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. I KNOW AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PRESENTAON YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS INCLUDED EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR $9 MILLION. >> CORRECT. SO, THERE WERE A COUPLE PROJECTS RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND I BELIEVE ONE OF THOSE SPECIFIC PROJECTS WAS UPDATING OUR PERMITTING SOFTWARE TO HELP US TRACK DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. AND I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN BULK OF THE FUNDING. CONFIRM? >> THERE'S A TECHNOLOGY FUND, THOSE PROJECTS MENTIONED. THERE'S A SMALL FUND AVAILABLE FOR PARTICIPATING IN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. IT'S SET TO THE SIDE, NOT DEDICATED TO ANY SPECIFIC PROJECT. >> Bronsky: MY SECOND QUESTION WAS, YOU TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF POLICIES SUPPORTED WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY IDEA, WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT TODAY IN THESE 314 PROJECTS, ARE WE SEEING ANY OF THE ACTION STATEMENTS ACTUALLY BEING FULLY COMPLETED? >> ABSOLUTELY. THERE CERTAINLY ARE SOME ACTION STATEMENTS THAT ARE BEING WORKED DIRECTLY TOWARDS WITH SOME OF THESE PROJECTS. AND THIS REVIEW, WE DECIDED TO REVIEW THOSE PROJECTS BASED ON THE POLICY LEVEL. SO IF ANY OF THOSE PARTICULAR PROJECTS WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS, ONE OF THE ACTIONS WITHIN THE POLICY, WE MARK IT AS ONE OF THOSE SUPPORTING POLICIES, BUT THERE CERTAINLY ARE SOME THAT ARE WORKING DIRECTLY TOWARDS SOME OF THOSE ACTIONS AND WE CAN PROVIDE SOME OF THOSE. >> Bronsky: WOULD I BE ABLE TO GO ONTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SITE AT SOME POINT AND FIND THE COMPLETIONS OF THOSE? AND SOME WAY TO REFERENCE HOW THEY WERE -- WHAT THE PROCESS WAS FOR THAT? >> MARKED 100% COMPLETE, A LOT ARE RECURRING. YOU'LL SEE THE COMMENTS, THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND CONTRIBUTED THESE THINGS. WE'LL UPDATE THAT EVERY YEAR AS THE CIP COMES THROUGH. >> Bronsky: THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: COMMISSIONER OLLEY. >> Olley: MORE OF A COMMENT, GREAT PRESENTATION. ONE THING THAT WOULD HELP ME, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PART OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE FOR MORE NEW IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, IF WE COULD SEE SOME KIND OF IMPACT TRACKING MECHANISM FROM WHAT WE DID IN THE PAST, RIGHT. SO, WHAT WAS NEW TWO-THREE YEARS AGO, HOW WAS IT PUSHED US INTO MORE CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LIKE THROUGH TRAFFIC OR SAVED US MONEY FROM A WATER PERSPECTIVE, WHATEVER IT IS. IT WOULD JUST HELP WITH THESE NUMBERS, GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. >> CERTAINLY. WE HAVE DISCUSSED SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR AS PART OF MAKING THAT AVALABLE ON OUR COMP PLAN WEBSITE. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CERTAINLY CONSIDERING FOR THE FUTURE AND SOMETHING WE WANT TO WORK TOWARDS. >> Chair Downs: OKAY. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS, OUR JOB IS TO EVALUATE THIS IN TERMS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BUDGET NUMBERS ARE INTERESTING. I KNOW WE HAVE MS. RHODES, NO ONE KNOWS OUR CITY BETTER THAN SHE DOES WHEN IT COMES TO THE DOLLARS AND CENTS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU -- WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS FOCUSED ON PLAN ALIGNMENT. THIS PRESENTATION, SOMETIMES BROKEN INTO PARTS WHEN IT'S GIVEN TO COUNCIL, IS A LITTLE MORE DETAILED. AND THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS AROUND THAT ARE REALLY EXCELLENT. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO WATCH THAT IF YOU'RE GIVEN A CHANCE. IN PARTICULAR I THINK IT'S GOOD TO UNDERSTAND BOND FUNDING, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUNDS, WHERE THE DOLLARS ARE COMING FROM. AND IT HELPS -- I THINK YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM THAT HOW GREAT A JOB THE CITY DOES AT MANAGING ITS MONEY AND GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FOR A DOLLAR THAT IT CAN GET. AN EXAMPLE -- THEY DON'T WAIT ON THINGS TO BREAK, RIG. THEY KNOW WHAT THE LIFESPAN IS. THEY HAVE THAT REGISTERED AND THEN THEY REPLACE THINGS BEFORE THEY BECOME A BIGGER ISSUE AND IT BECOMES A DOMINO THAT CREATES OTHER PROBLEMS. SO, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION HERE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS PRESENTATION. >> I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THIS AS PRESENTED. >> I SECOND. >> Chair Downs: OKAY. IS THAT SUFFICIENT MOTION-WISE? WE'LL TAKE THAT. OKAY. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRONSKY TO APPROVE THE CIP AS PRESENTED TO PLANNING AND ZONING, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER TONG. PLEASE VOTE. THAT ITEM CARRIES 7-0. EXCELLENT WORK, GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE CITY'S IN GREAT HANDS. THANK YOU. >> AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 2, PUBLIC HEARING ZONING CASE 2022-003, REQUEST TO AMEND AND EXPAND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 129 GENERAL OFFICE ON 63.2 ACRES AND TO RESCIND SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NUMBER 609 FOR A STOP ON 9.1 ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAD AND 15TH STREET. GENERAL OFFICE AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 137 GENERAL OFFICE WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT NUMBER 609. APPLICANT IS HSP OF TEXAS, INC., COLUMBIA MEDICAL CENTER, A PLANO SUBSIDIARY LP HEALTHCARE PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC., DHC, PLANO MEDICAL CENTER, LUCIO C, ACRES OF SUNSHINE LTD, AND TEXAS PSYCHIATRIC COMPANY INCORPORATED. THIS IS A LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION. >> GOOD EVENING, SENIOR PLANNER. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COMMISSION ACCEPT THE REQUEST TO TABLE TO THE AUGUST 15TH, 2022 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> Chair Downs: ARE THERE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER CARY. >> Cary: I'M JUST CURIOUS, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DENY FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT THE ABILITY TO EXTEND THIS? >> I THINK W WOULD HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT NOW. ERIC, MR. HILL? [ LAUGHING ] >> I DON'T KNOW. >> THAT'S CORRECT. WE COULD DISCUSS THE PROJECT TONIGHT, BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR STAFF ANALYSIS IN FRONT OF YOU. I DON'T BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS READY TO DISCUSS THIS AS WELL. SO, WE WOULD RECOMMEND TABLING THIS EVENING. >> Cary: I UNDERSTAND. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: I THINK YOU JUST SCARED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. [ LAUGHING ] >> Chair Downs: OKAY. VERY GOOD. I UNDERSTAND. THAT WAS A GREAT TECHNICAL QUESTION, BY THE WAY, THOUGH. Y OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ISSUE? OKAY. COMMISSIONER RATLIFF. >> Ratliff: I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION. >> Chair Downs:WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. [ LAUGHING ] THANK YOU. OKAY. WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BEFORE ANYONE SPEAKS, UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S LIKELY THIS WILL BE TABLED, SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE APPLICANT REBUTTING OR ANYTHING ELSE. HAPPY TO HEAR YOU SPEAK. YOU TOOK THE TIME TO COME DOWN. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, FEEL FREE, BUT THERE OBVIOUSLY WON'T S EVENING. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE SPEAKERS. >> YES. JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE DO HAVE TWO RESIDENTS THAT DID REQUEST TO PUT THEIR OPINION OF OPPOSED ON RECORD. OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS HIRAN PATEL. PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. >> ADDRESS IS 3725 CROMWELL COURT PLANO TEXAS. SO, MY PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THAT HOSPITAL. IT'S THE MOST IMPACTED PROPERTY. AND I HAD A PROCEDURAL QUESTION, BECAUSE THIS IS BEING TABLED, CAN I MAKE MY POINTS ON THE 15TH, OR WHAT'S THE PROCESS? >> Chair Downs: YOU CAN MAKE THEM BOTH NIGHTS. >> OKAY. SO, I'LL JUST BRIEFLY KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. ME AND THREE OF US, WE ALL LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER IN THAT SAME CUL-DE-SAC. WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MONTHS ABOUT THIS PROJECT. WE APPRECIATE THAT THEY TOOK TIME TO INVVE US. WE ARE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO THIS. AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SUMMARIZE BY SAYING THERE IS A WIN-WIN SOLUTION FOR THIS THAT I THINK IS A O WIN FOR THE HOSPITAL, FOR REVENUES, AND FOR THE COMMUNITY. BUT I THINK THAT IS -- THAT REQUIRES SERIOUS PLANNING AND USING THAT SPACE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY. AND DOING IT IN A WAY THAT GETS EVERYBODY WHAT THEY WANT. BUT WHERE WE ARE AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, WE HAVE NOT COME TO A WIN-WIN SOLUTION. AND I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR NOW. WE'VE HAD GOOD CONVERSATIONS. A COUPLE KEY ISSUES. ONE IS JUST THE ISSUE OF NOISE FROM THE HELICOPTERS. PEOPLE LIKE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. AND THAT'S AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW WITH JUST ONE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT PLANS, THE IDEA IS THERE'S ZONING LAWS HERE FOR A PURPOSE TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. AND I THINK THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN DESIGNED. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT, WE NEED TO MAKEURET TES INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT THE COMMUNITY THINKS IS IMPORTANT. AND I THINK WE MADE THIS CLEAR TO THE HOSPITAL. AND WE ARE OPPOSED TO IT AND WE -- OUR VIEW ON IT IS WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO. IF THAT INCLUDES LEGAL ACTION, WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT TO GET TO A WIN-WIN SOLUTION. THERE IS A WIN-WIN SOLUTION THAT HELPS EVERYBODY. WE JUST WANT TO GET TO THAT SOLUTION. >> Chair Downs: BEFORE YOU STEP AWAY, IT SAYS YOU'RE IN SUPPORT OF. I ASSUME THAT MEANS IN SUPPORT OF TABLING? >> CORRECT >> Chair Downs: THANK. [ OFF MIC ] >> Chair Downs: WHY DON'T WE WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE AND CAN GO THROUGH THIS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HEAR PROBABLY MULTIPLE COMMENTS. SO, LET'S WAIT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS I THINK WOULD BE BEST. NEXT. >> NEXT IS MR. ROYCE CLAYTON. >> YOU SAW ME IN 2018, SO. [ LAUGHING ] >> Chair Downs: I THOUGHT YOU LOOKED FAMILIAR. >> I GUESS ONE OF THE ISSUES FOR ME IS THE FACT THAWHEN WMET IN 2018 -- >> SIR, CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? >> I'M SORRY, ROYCE CLAYTON, 3729 CROMWELL COURT, THE NEXT-MOST IMPACTED HOUSE. WHEN WE MET IN 2018, IT WAS AGREED UPON THAT THEY WERE ONLY GOING TO PUT A FOUR-STORY BUILDING. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO EIGHT STORIES ON THAT BUILDING THEY ALREADY HAVE, WHICH MEANS THEY PUT AN EIGHT-STORY FOUNDATION TO START WITH. OKAY? SECONDLY, I THINK WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THE FAA BECAUSE RELOCATING THEIR LOCATION FROM THE GROUN TO EIGHT STORIES UP. SECONDLY, THEY USED THE LEAST NOISIEST HELICOPTER THAT LANDS AT THAT FACILITY CURRENTLY, WHICH IS THE BELL 407. ACCORDING TO CARE FLIGHT, THEY LAND MORE BELL 20s AND 429S THERE THAN THEY DO THE 407S. SO THE NOISE STU STUDY THEY'VE SUBMITTED IS SEMI IN ERROR. I WON'T SAY IT'S COMPLETELY INCORRECT, BUT IT IS SEMI IN ERROR. ALSO, I'M A LICENSED DRONE PILOT, SO I'M KIND OF >> Vela FAMILIAR WITH A LITTLE OF THE FAA STUFF. THEY DON'T USE THIS DIRECT NORTH-SOUTH LANDING PATTERN. MANY, MANY TIMES THE PILOTS ARE CUTTING LEFT AND THEY'RE COMING ACROSS OUR HOUSES AT 500 FEET, WHICH AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING, MY WIFE IS WAKING ME UP SAYING WHAT'S GOING ON? SO YEAH. WHAT I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO SE IS WHAT THE FAA SAYS ABOUT HAVE THEY FILED WITH THE FAA, HAVE THEY DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE WITH THEM. ALSO, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT BUILDING, WE HAVE LIQUID OXYGEN AND LIQUID NITROGEN. CURRENTLY IF WE HAD A HELICOPTER CRASH AT THE HOSPITAL, AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL NEVER HAVE THAT, IT'S GOING TO LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT. IF WE LAND ONE ON TOP OF AN EIGHT-STORY BUILDING AT ITS CURRENT LOCATION WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING IT AND IT ROLLS OFF THE BUILDING, WE'RE GOING TO ELIMINATE HALF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND OUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARENT, AS GOOD AS THEY ARE, ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO A THING ABOUT IT. SO, THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS, OKAY? AND I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM ADDRESSED AT THE NEXT MEETING, AND PREFERABLY HAVE THEIR SITE PLAN UPDATED A LITTLE BIT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY'VE GOT LIKE TWO OR THREE OUT THERE AND IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL WHICH ONE THEY'RE GOING TO USE. WHEN WE MET WITH THE HOSPITAL ORIGINALLY BEHIND OUR PROPERTIES ON CROMWELL COURT, THEY WERE GOING TO PUT A GREEN BELT IN. THEY WERE GOING TO GO 60 FEET BACK WITH THE GREEN BELHEN 40 FEETF PARKING LOT AND THEN A FOUR-STORY BUILDING. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S CHANGEED. THAT THEY'VE MOVED IT CLOSER TO US. CURRENTLY WE HAVE SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILERS TURNING -- TRYING TO TURN DOWN AN ALLEYWAY AND THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE TURNING TO A GRAVEL FIELD AND CREATING ALL KINDS OF DUST. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S KIND OF AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION, IF YOU WILL OKAY? SO, THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU, SIR. >> IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, PLEASE ASK THEM. >> Chair Downs: NO THANK YOU. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: NEXT. NEXT, WE HAVE MICHAEL STANDEVEN. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M MICHAEL STANDEVEN. I'M AT 1600 AMELIA COLT. AND I'M COMING HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THIS ZONING REQUEST, WHICH I AM ADAMANTLY OPPOSED AGAINST. THIS ZONING REQUEST . . . YEAH, FOR ONE IS THE SHADOWS, THE BUILDINGS, THESE EIGHT-STORY BUILDINGS WOULD CAST OVER MY APARTMENT. AND I'M A TELECOMMUTER AND THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY AFFECT MY QUALITY OF LIFE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND THE FALL MONTHS. YOU KNOW, SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER, THAT'S A REAL THING. ALSO, THE HELICOPTERS, T A LOT F HELICOPTERS USE THE TWIN JET ENGINES, WHICH ARE LOUDER THAN THE SINGLE-JET ENGINES. AND ALREADY, YOU KNOW, LOUDER THAN THE CITY OF PLANO IS -- WHAT'S ALLOWED BY THE CITY OF PLANO. AND THEY WANT TO ADD THESE HELIPADS RIGHT UP NEXT TO OUR APARTMENTS. AND THEY WANT TO PUT THEM RIGHT THERE. AND THIS IS IN VIOLATION OF ZONING REGULATIONS. IT'S TOO CLOSE TO OUR APARTMENTS. IT WILL MAKE A LOT OF NOISE USING THEIR TWIN JET ENGINES. IT WILL BE LOUDER THAN ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY OF PLANO. ALSO, I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO THE OTHER HOSPITALS IN PLANO. THERE ARE OTHER HOSPITALS IN PLANO AND THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE ZONING RULES AND REGULATIONS. SO, WHY SHOULD WE MAKE SPECIAL EXEMPTIONS FOR MEDICAL CITY PLANO? WHY DO THEY DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT? THEY DON'T. SITUATION.AVE A WIN-WIN THERE -- WE HAVE THREE -- WE CAN'T HAVE A WIN-WIN SITUATION BECAUSE THIS ARE OTHER AREAS THEY CAN DEVELOP. WE HAVE A MATURE, WELL-ESTABLISHED AREA. OUR COMMUNITY OF ASPEN COLT AND PARK BLUFF CONDOS IS A WELL, MATURE, ESTABLISHED AREA. THERE ARE UNDEVELOPED AREAS LIKE IN EAST PLANO WHERE WE HAVE THE PLACE FOR THEM TO GROW. THEY COULD PUT THEIR APARTMENT -- THEY COULD PUT THEIR HOSPITAL THERE, YOU KNOW. D THEY COULD SERVE THAT COMMUNITY, WHICH IS UNSERVED AND UNDERSERVED. THAT COMMUNITY -- WE HAVE NO HOSPITALS IN EAST PLANO. WE HAVE WHAT, LIKE THREE, FOUR HOSPITALS IN WEST PLANO -- METHODIST, BAYLOR, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE HOSPITALS. >> SIR, YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS. >> YEAH. AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE OTHER MANY REASONS, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD BE OPPOSED TO THIS. AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN, SHOW UP TO AS MANY MEETINGS AS I HAVE T TO FIGHT THIS. THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU, SIR. DO WE HAVE ANY MORE SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM? >> ONE MORE. WE HAVE RENE STANDEVEN. [ LAUGHING ] >> HELLO, COUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS RENE, 3600 DRIVE, I'M NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THIS HOSPITAL, BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE EXPANDING IT FROM THE PROPOSED, FROM FOUR STORIES TO EIGHT STORIES, I JUST DID A QUICK SEARCH AND THE BAYLOR HOSPITAL IS 1.7 MILES AWAY. THAT'S THE BAYLOR HEART HOSPITAL. PLANO PRESSBY IS FIVE MIES AWAY. CHILDREN'S, WHICH THEY ARE EXPANDING AND PUTTING A HUGE EXPANSION ON IS, AGAIN, FIVE MILES AWAY. WE HAVE FOUR HOSPITALS IN PLANO, FULL HOSPITALS, NOT LITTLE ANDALONES. THEY'RE ALL ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN. I'M COMING AT THIS FROM A VERY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAN ALL OF THESE OTHER INDIVIDUALS. I'M LOOKING AT IT, SEEING THAT IT IS THE OPTICS. THE OPTICS FOR PLANO, I'VE LIVED HERE 25 YEARS. I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WE HAVE A REPUTATION. WE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE HOSPITAL ON THE EAST SIDE -- NOT ONE TO SERVE THAT COMMUNITY, NOT ONE. THEY CAN GO UP TO ALLAN. THEY CAN GO TO RICHARDSON. IT'S NOT FAIR. IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD, IF IT WAS YOUR PARENT, WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE A 20, 25-MINUTE DRIVE? IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. PLEASE CONSIDER THE OPTICS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUR CITY. I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME. I'M PROUD TO LIVE HERE. I'M PROUD TO HAVE RAISED MY FAMILY HERE. BUT IT JUST LOOKS REALLY WRONG, GUYS. WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, THE WELL-BEING OF ALL THE CITIZENS, THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF ALL THE CITIZENS, NOT JUST THE RICH WEST SIDE. THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? >> NO, WE DO NOT. >> Chair Downs: OKAY. THANK YOU. WITH THAT I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONFINE DISCUSSION TO THE COMMISSION. >> I MOVE WE TABLE THIS TO THE AUGUST 15TH MEETING. I'M HAPPY TT THE HOSPITAL, THE CITY, AND THE CITIZENS ARE STILL WORKING AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL FIND A WIN-WIN ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYBODY. >> SECOND. >> Chair Downs: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRONSKY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER OLLEY TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE AUGUST 15TH MEETING. PLEASE VOTE. THAT ITEM CARRIES 7-0. >> AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 3, PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING CASE 2022-010 - REQUEST TO AMEND ARTICLE 4 (AMENDMENTS) OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO REAFFIRM HISTORIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS AND PRACTICES REGARDING PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF TEXT AMENDMENTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AFTER A RECENT LEGAL DECISION. APPLICANT: CITY OF PLANO THIS IS A LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION. >> THANK YOU. MELISSA, LEAD PLANNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS TO RESPOND TO RECENT STATE LEGAL DECISIONS AND REAFFIRM NOTICE REQUIREMENTS AND PR PRACTICES REGARDING THE PUBLICATION OF NOTICE FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS. THE COMMISSION CALLED A PUBLIC HEARING ON JUNE 20TH, 2022 TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING THE CASE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN V ACUNA. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR NOTICING CHANGES TO THE TEXT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE DATE BACK TO 1971 AND STATE THAT NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SHALL BE GIVEN BY PUBLICATION IN A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION IN THE CITY WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF NOTIFYING PAPROPERTY OWNERS BY MAIL, LAST UPDATED IN 1996 TO REQUIRE THE NOTICE BE PUBLISHED AT LEAST 20 DAYS BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING INSTEAD OF THE MINIMUM 15 DAYS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. THE COURT CASE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, HOWEVER, HAS RULED THAT CHANGES TO THE TEXT OF THE ORDINANCE MAY BE SUBJECT TO PROPERTY OWNER NOTICES, AS IS THE CASE FOR LAND-BASED ZONING CHANGES. SINCE STATE LAW DOES NOT LIMIT THE APPLICATION OF EITHER NOTICE TYPE TO SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OR LIMITED AREAS. AT THE SAME TIME, THE COU REAFFIRMED THAT STATE LAW PROVIDES FOR ADOPTING AN ALTERNATIVE NOTICING PROCEDURE. SPECIFICALLY, BY TWO-THIRDS VOTE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITIES MAY ADOPT ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS FOR NOTICING WHEN WRITTEN NOTICE IS OVERLY BURDENSOME, WHEREBY THE PROPERTY OWNER NOTICING REQUIREMENTS DEFINED IN STATE LAW WOULD NOT APPLY. AS IT EXISTS TODAY, THE NOTICING STRANDED STANDARD SERVES AS THIS ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURE ALLOWED BY THE COURT. STAFF IS PROPOSING ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE BE ADDED TO THE ORDINANCE TO REAFFIRM THIS. THE CURRENT NOTICING PRACTICES ARE NOT PROPOSED TO CHANGE. NOTICE OF THE PROPOSED TEXT CHANGES WILL CONTINUE TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER 20 DAYS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE CITY IS ALSO CURRENTLY PROVIDING OTHER ZONING NOTIFICATION TOOLS TO INFORM PROPERTY OWNERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. EXAMPLES OF THESE NOTIFICATION TOOLS INCLUDE THE ACTIVE ZONING PETITION'S WEB PAGE, SHOWN HERE, AND THE USER CUSTOMIZED ZONING CASE EMAIL ALERTS SHOWN HERE, AMONGST OTHERS. THE PROPOSED CHANGES AND CONFORMANCE WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. FURTHER, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH LAND USE ACTION ONE, AS IT WILL MAINTAIN CURRENT PRACTICES WHILE ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW, REGARDING NOTICE IN CHANGES INTENDED TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS ALSO IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION POLICY, SPECIFICALLY ACTION THREE, AS IT MAINTAINS THE CURRENT COMMUNICATION METHODS UTILIZED FOR ZONING CASE NOTIFICATION WHILE REDUCIN EXPSES THAT COULD BE OCCURRED BY ADDING A COSTLY MEANS OF NOTICE. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH IS ALSO SHOWN HERE. AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE GONE THROUGH BEFORE, SO IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? >> NO, WE DO NOT. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONFINE DISCUSSIONS TO COMMISSION. >> BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID, I'D MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS AS SUBMITTED. >> SECOND. >> Chair Downs: SO I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CARY WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BRONSKY TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION PER THE STAFF REPORT. PLEASE VOTE. AND THAT ITEM CARRIES 7-0. NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4A AND B WILL BE READ TOGETHER. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU. >> PUBLIC HEARING, PRELIMINARY REPLAT: ELMWOOD PARK, BLOCK A, LOTS 1-11, BLOCK B, LOTS 1-10 & BLOCK C, LOTS 1-5 - 26 URBAN RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON 2.4 ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 15TH STREET AND M ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-53-URBAN RESIDENTIAL.

ZONED URBAN RESIDENTIAL. APPLICANT: TWCP WESTHEIMER WILCREST LTD. BOTH ARE ADMINISTRATIVE CONSIDERATION. >> Chair Downs: THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, PARKER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO WITHAW FM T AGEA AND BE CONSIDERED ON THE AUGUST 15TH, 2022 AGENDA. WHILE NORMALLY WITHDRAWAL IS CRUCIAL FOR PLATS DUE TO THE 30-DAY SHOT CLOCK TIMELINES, THE NOTICE REQUIRED FOR RESIDENTIAL REPLAT CREATES A DIFFERENT SITUATION FOR THIS PLAT. THE NOTICE NEEDS TO BE PRESERVED BY TABLING THIS ITEM UNTIL AUGUST 15TH, 2022 MEETING. CONSIDERATION OF ITEM ON AUGUST 15TH, 2022 WILL BE THE NEXT 30 DAYS OF THE SHOT CLOCK TIMEFRAME WHICH EXPIRES AUGUST 25TH, 2022. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THIS ITEM BE TABLED UNTIL THE AUGUST 15TH MEETING CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUEST AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. >> Chair DownsTHAN YOU QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMISSIONER BRONSKY. >> Bronsky: A TECHNICAL QUESTION, AS I'M NEW AT THIS. NORMALLY WHENEVER I HEAR THE WORD WITHDRAW, I DON'T THINK OF THAT AS TABLING UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT FOR ME? >> YES. >> Bronsky: THE APPLICANT USES THE WORD WITHDRAW IN THE LETTER -- IN THE EMAIL. >> NORMALLY FOR REPLATS THEY HAVE TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE AGENDA, BUT AS I MENTIONED, SINCE THERE WAS NOTICING SENT OUT FOR RESIDENTIAL REPLATS, WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO TABLE IT TO PRESERVE THAT NOTICING. SO NORMALL YES, IT IS WITHDRAWN, BUT IN THIS SITUATION, WE ARE ASKING TO TABLE. >> Bronsky: SO YOU'RE ASKING US NOT TO DO WHAT THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO DO ON THIS? >> Chair Downs: WANT TO CLARIFY? >> I THINK THE LETTER SHOULD HAVE SAID TO TABLE. I THINK THAT IS THE INTENT. THE APPLICANT USED WITHDRAW AND THEN CONTINUE, OR HOWEVER IT'S PHRASED, SO I THINK THE INTENTION IS A TABLING. AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE. YOU CAN ASK THAT QUESTION AS WELL. >> Bronsky: I'D JUST LIKE TO HEAR THE APPLICANT CONFIRM TO US THAT THAT'S -- THAT WE'RE NOT JU AUMING THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. >> Chair Downs: WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? >> Olley: IF THE APPLICANT HAD WITHDRAWN, WE WOULD HAVE TO RE-NOTICE. >> YES. >> Chair Downs: OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M PHYLLIS REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT TONIGHT. AND I THINKE JUST HAD A NOMENCLATURE PROBLEM, BECAUSE TYPICALLY PLATS ARE WITHDRAWN. AND YOU CAN RESUBMIT WITHOUT PAYING FEES AND EVERYTHING. AND THAT'S OUR INTENT. WE'RE FINE IF THE PROCEDURE IN THIS CASE NEEDS TO BE TABLING. EITHER WAY IS FINE. WE JUST WANT TO BE BACK BEFORE YOU ON AUGUST 15TH. >> Chair Downs: WOULD IT BE SIMPLER FOR EVERYBODY IF IT WAS SIMPLY TABLED UNTIL AUGUST 15TH VERSUS WITHDRAWN AND RE-NOTICED? >> I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. THAT'S THE ACTION THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO TAKE IS TO TABLE IT INSTEAD OF WITHDRAWING. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT'S CONFUSION. I'M CONFUSED ABOUT IT, SO. [ LAUGHING ] >> Chair Downs: WELL THAT SAYS A LOT, SINCE YOU USED TO SIT RIGHT HERE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? >> Tong: I HAVE A QUESTION. BY WITHDRAWING AND RESUBMITTING WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY AGAIN, DOES THAT RESET THE CLOCK? >> IF IT'S A WITHDRAWAL OF THE PROJECT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO RESUBMIT, FILE A NEW APPLICATION, NEW FEES, IT WOULD RESET THE SHOT CLOCK A WE WOULD RE-NOTICE. SO THERE'S WITHDRAWAL AND TABLE, BECAUSE IT HAS THE STATE SHOT CLOCK REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE NOTICED. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION. BUT WE CAN TABLE THIS REQUEST UNTIL THE NEXT AGENDA WITHOUT RE-NOTICING. >> GOTCHA. THANK YOU. >> Chair Downs: ARE WE CLEAR AS MUD? WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> N THERE IS NOT. >> Chair Downs: ALL RIGHT. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COMMISSIONER BRONSKY. >> Bronsky: AFTER HEARING FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE DEVELOPER AS WELL AS FROM THE CITY, I MOVE THAT WE TABLE THIS UNTIL THE AUGUST 15TH MEETING, MAKING THINGS EASY FOR EVERYBODY AND SAVING BOTH MONEY. >> SECOND. >> Chair Downs: FOR ITEM 4A WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE. LET'S DO THEM ONE AT A TIME. [ OFF MIC ] >> Chair Downs: THEY'LL PRESENT THEM TOGETHER, BUT WE TAKE ACTION ON EACH OF THEM. SO FOR ITEM 4A WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLEY COMMISSIONER BRONSKY TO THE AUGUST 15TH MEETING WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER STONE. PLEASE VOTE. THAT ITEM CARRIES 7-0. NOW FOR 4B. >> I MAKE A MOTION WE TABLE ITE. >> SECOND. >> Chair Downs: TO AUGUST 15TH. >> SORRY. >> Chair Downs: I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER RATLIFF WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BRONSKY TO TABLE ITEM 4B TO THE AUGUST 15TH MEETING.
