non-consent speakers I do have a correction to read into the record regarding MNC 24-0 914 which is item number 26 on page 11 of the consent agenda this item includes two appropriation ordinances regarding grants operating Federal fund the ordinance that only mentions the 449,000 appropriation is not needed and is being withdrawn that action is covered by the other ordinance which appropriates that amount along with the 212,000 in new money and with that mayor we can take the non-consent speakers or the consent speak consent speakers yes ma'am thank you our first speaker is Tara rice followed by Adrienne Smith Miss rice oh yes here go ahead you have three minutes myy good evening Fort Worth the city of Fort Worth um I still find it very larious that I have not heard no matter how many false Poli reports that are filed but I still have not heard that but I got a confirmation on my um email October 2 yet we are nearly a year later and I have not had a response I find it the lack of communication and concerning but it doesn't surprise me because I have learned to fight Fe seriously for what is right I don't need a group of residents of Fort Worth to stand with me because what you fail to realize is I will fight alone like I have said and I will continue to fight fight alone and and I don't need someone who is persuaded by the other side to fight with me because God made me just the way I am but if it was Mar son or maybe her adopted daughter that she adopted that no one has heard from or even Alex Kim five children and I don't know how you go from five to one I don't understand that but I'm ready to to take it to trial and if I have to go all the way I'm going to go all the way CU I I I like to I like to see what's written about me and mine because I like to give glory to to my God for everything that have protected me and my children from so with that being said you guys have a great evening but I look forward to hear from you soon or other because I have no problem with taking it to trial our next speaker is Adrien Smith Adrien Smith district 6 I am one with the people this particular agenda item uh MMC hyen uh MMC 24 hyen 0862 it's a authorization execution and agreement with the dream Wizards Incorporated for private lot mowing services in an annual amount of 400,00 000 for the initial term and authorize four one-year renewal options for the same annual amount for the cold compliance department so before you all vote like you normally do I want to speak to this particular agenda item um although this particular contract doesn't bleed heavily as it relates to taxpayer dollars going into it uh two things that stood out to me uh particular parts of the language it says uh holding private well this is how I paraphrase it so basically this contract is to uh is basically holding private property owners accountable should their given property become an isore due to uh the necessary upkeep so basically the C compliance Department you all are going to Outsource particular lawn services to uh attack go out to uh private property owners who tend not to tend not to upkeep their property Etc Etc so this is $400,000 amount blah blah blah it's going to you know continuation blah blah blah but my thing is and I don't expect it from you all I'm pretty sure someone Co compliance give me a call thank you uh staff the business Equity placed a 5% business Equity goal on this contract however the contract recipient submitted submitted a uh Prime waiver form in accordance with the city business Equity ordinance basically the contractor said they're going to do the be doing the work themselves they do not want the 5% um inclusion as relates to minority businesses uh etc etc etc being a part of it so my thing is to you all and this began this began back with the waste management contract remember Mr Williams we said it was going to start a president when you all un undid the waste management contract that was um that night services had a part of so now we have we have businesses coming in now who can request for this particular waiver of minority business requirements if they if they uh feel it necessary so what are we doing here we're just giving taxpayer dollars away and this blindly or what what are we doing well this all good if someone from The Code Compliance Department I see the new director if someone could give me a call and better explain this Council that's the conclusion of our consent agenda speakers I can entertain a motion on the consent agenda motion a second is there any more discussion if not please vote motion carries next will be announcements and of upcoming and recent events recognition of citizens and approval of ceremonial travel if needed thank you Council M Flores thanks mayor

pler followed by Bob willby mayor I've hurt our office talk with him today he basically can't be here tonight he's been to a lot of our meetings he just wanted to express his thanks for our hard work and that he appreciates that are 10: a.m. meetings that we do have uh because he uh enjoys that kids can come visit and uh be here thank you Michael our next speaker is Bob Willoughby followed by David fulson or Dave fulson GL the council celebrity hours over with schule here what you really always see on the city website as you look at this the new schedule this is the third time it's coming up every year they got to do this and um what you don't see on the website and you don't see this on the screen either right now we need to get this schedule up on the scre thank you very much you know what it doesn't tell you they removed the Public Presentation go over on on the website and and and bump over the information do say nothing about removing the Public Presentation okay another thing what they done here when when Maddy put this in three years ago it says know the new schedule it doesn't ask us it tells you that's dictatorship that's communist 100% And that so but um here's the thing why don't you do this why don't you take your Council celebrity hour you showed the council Public Presentation you kept that on and another thing mayor I I I would like for you to restore order when crane gets out of order okay I know how you take it off the website and you can't hear him interrupt me he'll be quiet tonight but he interrupts me on purpose I want you to restore order if he does right crank okay you're the one to make jokes about this about me you said I was joking I asked you to explain what the Pres what is a Public Presentation how do you explain that Mr Crane what do you call it if you don't call it free speech you know they make fun of me constantly calling this free speech it is free speech and he can't say that because it makes him a liar okay I want you to do take your your Public Presentation okay you kicked us off and kept yours uper that's conceited move yours should the bottom of the agenda like you had us okay and you do that these good people that come down here just for work and have to go home they don't have to listen to that for 45 minutes and if anybody wants to stay and watch you they can stay all night and watch you but you'll find out that everybody's gone and you can go home early so moved your presentation to the bottom and you know what you don't restore this you have no respect for the people here you lied when you took an oath you took an oath to serve the people and that is a lie one it's unamerican I'll tell you what if you don't vote to put this back in then you need to start voting for this flag right here this is your flag that's a communist flag that's not the Communist flag that's American flag that that stands for free speech and freedom this is your flag am I upside down okay very good thank you for your help point of order okay oh point of order where' it come from right here point of order point of order talk about the schedule okay well anyway uh that's your flag to vote for if you don't put back free speech that's what you're taking it's not on this agenda it was on this agenda it's not okay so you look at your Council agenda out there CB youc presentation on the bottom now you could have three years ago when bie price was here go watch one council meeting Bessie price and watch one council meeting what she did this Place 36 months 5 months in here she asked for a triple pay and raise and these guys supported it it's terrible neighborhood associations don't speak out like they should against you're wrongdoing it's just terrible but when you start taking away free speech and these people don't care it's unbelievable thank you speaker is Dave fulson followed by Lisa deito and that's going to be a hard act to follow Dave folson District 5 proud member of the John T white neighborhood association and I am in favor of keeping the meeting schedule exactly as it is you know we've heard it said 552 614 times I believe that we've stolen free speech I can't think of a better example of free citizen speech and we have at the Fort Worth City Council and councils all across the country uh I'm in favor of keeping this for many different reasons I like the fact that we do have you know opportunities to come down here and talk on agenda items and Zoning issues are important to all the citizens and groups in Fort Worth Texas I think we have ample time to do that I also like the fact that we have two citizen presentations that we can come up and we can discuss a wide variety of issues and that's really what it's for it should be discussing issues that are relevant to your neighborhood your neighbors or to your city or your desires for what you want your City to be or not be this is a perfect time to come to our city leadership and anybody that comes prepared and has legitimate things to say I think you will find this delivers all the opportunity necessary to deliver what we as Citizens want you to be aware of and share and ask things of you and have your attention your eyeballs on things that affect your districts and our lives I I find it really odious that especially to some of our members that have served our country uh in armed services I've heard it said by the previous speaker that you're not only you're a traiter a traiter to your country and I find that you've got more selfcontrol than I would probably be able to show under that circumstance because you know people that are in our armed services they they take the the oath to to die for our country if necessary and to by doing so preserving one of our greatest rights which is freedom of speech so I just want to say this is no infringement on freedom of speech we have evening meetings that start at 6 I like that better than seven we can go home and watch TV and eat with our families I like the morning meetings sometimes especially for civic events like when you know schools bring kids up here to get a close firsthand look at City leadership and how our city operates at and I think it's great to have those uh in the daytime I just think we have a perfect mix exactly the way we're doing it right now and it's my strong recommendation and for everybody that I've talked to that we keep it exactly like it is and like I said this is the best example of free speech I can possibly think of and we appreciate it thank you thank you Dave our next speaker is Lisa deito followed by Gerald Banks senior well I'm glad that boot licking is over that was boring the speech you want us to hear and that brings me to my point my name is Lisa debito Fox I am a retired constitutional law attorney in the State of Florida as well as a civil rights attorney and since it is de de muera I want to say her name again a Tatiana Jefferson because to Mr James and her family we will never forget ever now I am part of the [Music] 996 756 bosses in this city you work for us what I'm about to say councilman Nettles exclude you because as far as I can tell he's the only person on this deis with any kind of Scruples and any kind of morals why am I opposed and I am opposed to this new schedule in 2025 because what you have forgotten is that we are a home rule City and by definition home rule City means and I quote is implied that the citizens rule this city so if that's the case please tell me please explain to me why we have the second largest consent agenda in the entire state of Texas second only to Austin Texas y'all spend our money like it's water meanwhile I got neighbors working three jobs to meet the fees and the tax that they're being hit with I never even seen my neighbors or their kids and they don't see their kids either because of y'all's out of control spending so second largest consent agenda maybe we'd have room for public comment at every meeting if yall weren't rubber stamping stuff for most of the meeting that being said city has high crime rates gang violence I just had a personal friend have have their car jacked on Saturday just outside of East Texas but we have special powers and those special powers as Citizens are that we have the right to veto the things that you do and actually REM remove you from office if we don't agree with that I'm going to be starting a podcast called Fort Worth confidential and trust me it's going to make Jaguar on the blue couch look like a kitty show may God have mercy on every one of your souls uh Gerald Bank senior followed by Adrien Smith J Bank senior District 5 I know you all are going to vote the way you want to vote but I'm going to say this anyway resolutions 24- 4572 vote no the willly ly syndrome is still in full effect when it comes to free speech and our right to do so shouldn't be limited to a dictator's world of choice limited public speaking causes crucial incidents like what happened with William Martin and his unstable episode to go unnoticed or not to be addressed before the council at all the fact that this Council has set rules and break their own rules say a lot especially when disrespecting a citizen when the clock is running and interrupting their time no matter how much you dislike the person that's speaking vote note to 24- 4572 dignity goes a long way and the lack of says a lot about the way things are being handled here in the city of City Chambers as well as the city of for word vote no to 24- 4572 I know the mayor and council members don't want to hear the problems that a p the problems a excuse me a problem a speaker has to address but I thought that you took the oath to listen to All grievances brought before you no matter who brings it vote no to 24- 4572 we as citizens should be able to speak every week as situations occur and also reclaim our time when interrupted I guess I'm asking too much remember you once stood here in this very spot and wanted to be respected by the mayor and all council members mayor Parker I don't bite I'll elaborate once we have our meeting no matter no word yet when that will happen vote no to the new resolutions 24- 4572 I appreciate you listening our next speaker is Adrien Smith Adrien will be followed by Terror rice the Constitution of the United States We the People established September 17th 1787 is the power given to the collective will of the people of our nation to ensure government in which govern their Affairs of our nation does It In fairness consideration and without the undo burden for all man mankind equally basically to keep power-driven individuals humble in the case they forget the positions they hold within government doesn't just belong to them for worth Incorporated in 1873 adopted a city city council manager form of government when it received this Charter from the Texas legisl legislature in 1924 October 19th 2021 the last day the citizens of this city had rights afforded to them through our constitution nullified by our current mayor and city council public participation used to commence at 7 p.m. to ensure the people of our city who desired to attend Council meetings could do so without having to neglect other matters of importance within their personal lives it has since been reduced to 600 p.m. thus leaving no opportunity for Citizens for participation as it relates to matters of importance regarding our city insuring tax dollars are allocated allocated rightly for the purposes they are ensuring tax dollars are allocated for the purposes they are intended accountability transparency and consider ation for those we've elected into office and our given right of redress without fear of punishment or reprisals not only has this Council reduced citizen participation it removed the Public Presentation criteria that was once an intricate part of everything that's fought worth since it's Inception this is what Bob Willoughby has been Advocate advocating against ever since this mayor and councel decided they would no longer serve the will of the people but rather be a service unto themselves this is utterly unacceptable and write out disgusting regarding each of them the irony of it all not one of them has ever provided in the explanation as to why the change was necessary now before you make your vote tonight you have opportunity to explain to us we the people why the change even happened back in 2021 since you all are fully loaded with points of orders when you want to interrupt us tell the people why you made this change our next speaker is terara rice followed by David Martinez Mr rice evening go ahead the resid of Fort world I'm sorry go ahead can you hear me okay good evening I don't give I don't care about the First Amendment right when when you don't even when our human rights are being violated isn't it a human right for our children that sit at 323rd Ro to be able to read and go to school back a human right isn't it a right for Maddy's talking about this pushing this education but yet you got children what were work ISD that are not being educated but being locked up you got children siging ple deal that can't even read if you can't read you can't write so how can you read to understand what you are signing but I guess it doesn't affect Maddie Parker's two white son but or maybe her mysterious adopted daughter or maybe Alex Kim five children which he went down from he went that he adopted very entertaining to do with the council schedule let's leave my kids out of it thanks oh no that that's has something to do with it because you're going to hear about me every week because you see how you're getting upset you're getting upset about

listening I was I was on the phone I lost connection sorry about about that I appreciate y'all giveing me time to speak um I just want to I want to say this um when I first started coming here uh all y'all know I would come here and complain and all that stuff but I changed my ways on that and I started working with the city because I get more stuff done for my community and I have to remember that I just don't represent myself I represent the other people that are not here uh I looked on my uh councilwoman Martinez posted today about checking where you go vote at and I put my address in found out 0% voting in my neighborhood in Carter Park so that that's so when I go speak there's thousands of people who not going will never hear and I hear all the time the complaints though trust me um but I I I I want to say that it's very important that somebody does show up and if as long as I'm alive I will come and speak as long until there's somebody else to take my place trust me I would rather be at home watching football or whatever and and eating tacos drinking beer but I'm here because if I don't do it then who will and so I cannot put it onto somebody else shoulders uh God has put it on my shoulders so I'm here to do it as whatever I can do and um I wanted to say that and it's very important because I want to invite everybody to my event this weekend Saturday at the war height Community Center for the little kids 5 to 7 o' uh please please everybody attend it's all inclusive everything's free I know art goggles going on but for if you don't if you can't afford it

second Council any discussion Council Nettles thank you mayor just want to add a couple of comments to uh this we heard the comments tonight um those who have read we have 15 public com uh comments for the public 16 work sessions 11 zoning Council me meetings and 10 City Council meetings when we came up to this schedule um I would say the proposed uh was at 5:00 P p.m. and I asked the mayor and counsel we can move it to 6 so that's how we got to the six to make sure that those who got off at 5:00 can have an opportunity to come at 6:00 p.m. also during those meetings and discussions that if there was a great need within the city of forart that we need to have a special call meeting to hear from the public we will have that special call meeting and those of you have been watching and been concerned and alert uh we had an issue that came up a few months ago and I requested for a special call meeting the mayor honor there as well as the city council and we had a special call Executive work session so I will say this uh this Council has been attended to the needs and the concerns and allowing those to speak when it's necessary time to speak however I do believe that each time we have a meeting that should have opportunity to speak but let me say this we do it no justice when we come in here and for some of us um clown or make a mockery of the system and so I would encourage all of us that who wants to have these continued meetings each time you come you have opportunity to speak on the work session on the zoning docket on the day council meeting you speak directly on the issue and the concern that we're getting ready to vote on public comments allows you to speak on whatever SS float your boat that's happen in the city of forward and so those are 15 meetings a year I encourage you to use those times as adequate and proper as needed um I will also encourage CH this Council that as we continue to move forward when our city is in an uproar that we continue to have these special call meetings and make sure that we hear our constituents and I don't know if this is the first time ever but I think everyone on this Das have had a town hall meeting and have had frequent Town House meetings and so we come from amongst this EP piscal Das and go into the community and have a sit down conversation with you individually and so I want to take opportunity to thank this Council uh for your work and listen to our constituents um I'm still proposed that we have comments every week those are my comments Council Williams I'm sorry Gina go ahead I'll be voting to support and maintain the schedule as is I don't know anybody other than Don and Wanda who might recall Council meetings used to be at 10:00 a.m. in the morning work session was at 8:30 when people had matters of business to deal with the city they made it here we changed allowing for nighttime meetings but what was so inspiring for me was when we got a new mayor who understood we needed to make sure that we were not only governing but also educating and so we have opportunities right now for kids to come from school to learn how government works that's very important to me as we try to grow new leaders what happened during the the summer when George Floyd was murdered we saw a lack of Civility Nationwide and rightly so the people have a a right to protest but the reality of it is for me if I know what you're going to say before you're saying it you're not informing me of anything you're taking advantage of three minutes to get cable TV time let's just be real I promise you people when they have a matter to bring before this body they get here and so I am proud to keep this schedule as it is even though from time to time we still get people who come and to use councilman nettles's words they clown we're able to tell the students that is really not the way you get things done we want people to know how to engage in governance and you don't do that by charades or games or insults you do that by talking among each other taking a boat walking away a winner a loser but walking away with dignity and so I will be supporting that we keep this schedule and I encourage a majority of this Council to do the same Council Williams oops thank you mayor I'll be supporting the schedule as well I just wanted to give some context to folks who may not be as familiar with this process while you know we I will always always support public comment during meetings like this I also want to just give context that our staff engages regularly um with our constituencies um I say this all the time the seat isn't Jared Williams seat um this is um all of our seat um and so because of that we have a responsibility to engage our constituencies and more than just on Tuesday nights and mornings um and so um you know every Tuesday we get a comment card of anyone who signs with the speak I me our district 6 staff if you're in District Six raise your hand Carmen davier williiam they call everyone on that call sheet um not only do we do that we also get a call log every day of many constituent requests that are reported to the city those three folks including me as well call every one of those numbers um and ask folks about what are the issues they experienc in and we help them navigate the city not only do we do that we also have listening circles on specific issues that neighborhoods are facing which is a meeting specifically on that topic we bring City staff to the meeting and I can go on and on and on about the many ways that we engage our neighbors and so while the 3 minutes of public comment is important we also encourage our residents to engage with our office directly um nine times out of 10 when we call constituents who are on the comment car for Tuesday we get their problem fixed they don't have to spend time driving to the city of for worth everyone in the space saves three minutes I then we can continue conducting the business of the city um in a decent and orderly fashion um and so um for those of you who are not not aware of that process I want to lay that out because it's more than just showing up on Tuesday nights which is important um it's also about engaging um the council offices directly I mean know that we will always do our part in in um reaching out to you and we know there's a need to make sure that we do everything we can with this seat to address the issues that you face and Council if not I've got a motion and a second please vote Adrian just don't speak from the audience I'm sure you're on the list again to speak at

um do we really need more by comparison within the same area there are just one supermarket and four small grocery stores selling fresh produce five coffee shops if you include the Starbucks and the Albertson and the McDonald's four restaurants that serve breakfast if you include the waterburger and the McDonald's and 20 restaurants if you count take out uh in addition 1405 and 1409 Wier lie within a residential neighborhood across the street from a multif family apartment complex and next door to tow houses another dirty noisy uh Auto Repair business does not belong here we we as Eastern Hills neighborhood association would support a number of businesses that fit the current zoning the following would be appropriate to the location helpful to the community and enhance quality of life in the neighborhood it could be a restaurant or Deli a grocery store laundry or dry cleaning Coffee Shop bakery medical office Community Health Center Insurance Office Child Care a gym the list goes on we ask you to please support zoning that supports the character and liability of our neighborhood thank you for your time your consideration and your service to the city thank you Miss Brink Council Martinez it's the last of our speakers on this item thank you mayor and thank you Cynthia for coming down and speaking um this evening uh I am going to vote in line with staff and with the zoning commission and motion to deny with prejudice motion a second please vote and motion carries next item is zc- 24- 063 councilman Martinez we have a few speakers on this item our first is Phyllis Allen good evening thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak to you about this this is something that concerns not only me but my entire neighborhood as president of the United Riverside neighborhood association uh I my responsibility is to be the voice for my neighborhood and their responsibility is to come and support me and they have this is an extreme ly significant um item for our neighborhood we have a developer who is asking to build $350,000 railroad Flats in our neighborhood now for those of you who are not familiar with what a Railroad Flat is in the early part of the 19th 20th century uh in big cities like New York there were houses or apartment buildings that had railroads that literally ran almost within the person's bedroom and that is what this developer is asking to do he is asking to reduce the 25 ft setback back from the railroad tracks to 10 ft 10 ft from a a um residence for a railroad is unacceptable because not only is he asking for this setback but it is at the switch and if anybody is familiar with railroads most of the problems that happen will happen at the switch uh if there is a problem there at that switch with a 10t setback I don't want to be there cuz I have a 25 foot setback from my house and if something H and I'm only probably a 100 yards from the switch and if something happens I don't want to be home but I certainly would not want to be there with only 10 ft this is danger dangerous and it doesn't fit the comprehensive plan that we work so diligently on and only signed on June 4th 2019 I am asking you to please support Zing's recommendation to deny oh one minute thank you Council Martinez additional speaker is Robin Kelly good evening my name is Robin Kelly and in the spirit of um election in the spirit of democracy and in the spirit of civic responsibility I'd like to take a slant in my voice against this zoning I'd like to focus on We the People the original intent intent of we the people were white male landh holder but then the Constitution then goes on to say in order to form a more perfect union and we started to do that with the passing the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery the 14th Amendment granting citizenship the 15th Amendment prohibits the federal government and States from denying a citizen's right to vote based on raised color or previous conditions of servitude and of course the 19th Amendment women's right to vote and we continued along this journey to have a more perfect union with Civil Rights Acts of 1964 1965 and 1968 and in that Same Spirit in that same vein we the United Riverside neighborhood assoc association we have written a vision and that Vision was a comprehensive plan and we made it plain single family zoning and we ask that you listen we've told zoning we've told everybody else we don't like this safety density Etc so I only end with this imagine what will happen when we includes all of we the people will you please listen to the United Riverside Association and vote against item 24- 063 thank you for your time thank you Miss Kelly Council mayor Martinez it's the last of our speakers thank you mayor um I was told that the uh developer has requested a continuation um I know Mr Wong is here Mr Wong could you tell us a little bit a little bit about the project an overview and um why you're asking for this continuance good evening I appreciate opportunity mayor and council members I have register online to speak I have submitted a presentation I'd be happy to uh to skip it uh but I would like to ask for for a 30-day extension a postponement to November the 12 in order to give us more time to have more discussion with the local community the presentation is in front of you it's about five slides there pictures that that I can go through pretty quickly I will follow your lead whatever you decide that'd be fine unless you want discussion or and you would also consider changes to that project whatever it takes to to help compromise with with the neighborhood to to lessen the conc concerns uh the and any misconceptions for example one of the things that was mentioned is a setback is not from the railroad it's from Paradise Street we we have two rows of town homes they're not railroad flats and and they consider a single family home as indicated by by the staff report that theyve submitted to the commission and and the council so two roads of town homes are parallel to Railroad Track one row is closest to existing single family home that is set back 25 ft but the but the road is closer to to the railroad which is still a long way from the track itself is is reduced to the 10 ft from Paradise Street not not from the railroad tract okay uh Mr Wrong I'm going to trust that you do what you say you're going to do and meet with the community and um be ready to make significant changes uh with that I motion to continue to zc4 uh mission to continue zc 24063 to November 12th please vote oh Chris is

do have quite a few speakers on this item but it's my knowledge you're going to continue this you'll hear the speakers uh our first speaker is Mary Margaret lemons by phone next would be Mary Nell P actually Mary Margaret uh said since it was going to be continued she did not need to be called okay Mary nil P followed by Karen Ace bradin sure good evening everyone can you hear me okay yes thank you I have very low voice I'll try and project um excited to be here tonight um we're talking about some some land and stop six tonight um and I wanted to give some references to uh where we're at so I'm Karen a bradin I live at a38 West Bedford ulis Road but I'm here on behalf of childcare Associates I am their CFO and I as of tomorrow will be their CFO as of nine years so excited to be here about that childcare Associates had was started in 1968 and has been in the community for 56 years of those 56 years we have delivered lots of child care in Early Education but I want to remind you of two things that childcare Associates does um we do delivery of direct child care associate like of children and child care but we also do support for other child care businesses in the area and so we support other childcare businesses through provider payments through the um CCMS program and we also do um Quality program like quality dollars to them so we're supporting both childcare Direct Delivery and also the providers in the area as well um some other things that I'd want to point out is that I've submitted um some information from uh the city of uh Forest Hill and their support for this program and the mayor she's in the in the field out here and then also for stop six neighborhood um Community they're here as well with the pastor and so we've had a lot of support on this from the other community members the other thing I want to point out I took a drive by it today because I wanted to be like really fresh on talking to you guys and so I went by and spent about 45 minutes over there today just to really understand understand what some of the comments have been in opposition of this and so one of them was that um that the noise and traffic would be so if you really looked at this piece of land it's set back and so on r on Ry it's about it's a two acre piece of lot and where the church sits itself it's probably about a half an acre in um the building would also sit that far in and then a component of what we're looking at is it's going to need a parking lot and so with the church that's next door we'll work with them um um on building a parking lot it's going to provide a two for one so not only will the childcare Facility have a parking lot but so will the church and they'll get to use that in Partnership we're good neighbors we are always good neighbors we've been working in the community for a long time and we continue to be good neighbors and we will continue to do that the last thing I kind of want to point out is time is of the essence if we do not start moving forward we're going to lose this money we have to have this um obligated by December 31st of 2024 I'll call it 12:00 59m if we don't start moving forward stop 6 is going to lose this um $5 million investment that the city has entrusted us um and doing and so I hope I hope to move forward with it question let us know thank you our next speaker will be Mary NP followed by Lisa McDaniels I think she'd like you to speak yes ma'am thank you Mary we have have on the same dress do we really coincidence here so we must be thinking Alik then good evening Council marel pool townsite 2918 Windgate here in Fort Worth I'm here this evening representing Child Care Associates who is requesting a conditional use permit to develop a child care studio that will Pro provide Early Head Start and Head Start services to children in stop six daycare centers are only allowable in commercial and Industrial categor so a cup is required for them to be able to operate in this location CCA was awarded $5 million in ARP funds from the city to develop this project and Council approved an MNC back in June to move this facility from the stop 6 Hub to another location as a partner of Fort Worth Housing Solutions CCA was able to secure two lots 5033 and 5105 rainy Avenue which is centrally located within the stop 6 community and part of the HUD Choice neighborhood transformation plan this property is is just under 3 acres and provides the opportunity for the children to enjoy a natural playscape and explore the Wonder of Outdoor Learning Experience this property is adjacent to five churches within two blocks along Ry in either direction mod Logan Elementary School is within the block the boys and girls school is two blocks away and adjacent to single family homes and vacant lots a child care facility would be a complimentary use we are asking to separate the required site plan for the project from the zoning case and only approve this evening the use of the site as a child care center CCA is under a tight timeline as you just heard to obligate the funds this will bring CCA back to the zoning commission and the city council with a site plan to be approved that will address traffic buffering and design CCA is committed to working with the adjacent neighbors churches and other stakeholders to ensure the project integrates into the neighborhood and maintains a safe environment for both the children and the community you have a support letter from the stop 6 neighborhood association and a petition from uh residents in the stop 6 area however we have U received um or became aware late in the process that not all of our neighbors were aware of the project though the opposition said they had a problem did not have a problem with a child care facility they were concerned about traffic and noise um we heard from the Fort Worth Housing author Authority officials at the hearing that two major traffic projects are already in the works for Ry Avenue at the boys and girls Center and at um at Ry and stall cup that puts $1.6 million that is going into traffic calming and safety for crossing and uh maneuvering down Ramy Avenue um also daycare centers typically don't cause a lot of traffic due to their hours which are 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and their staggered pattern of um bringing children I would respectfully ask for your approval thank you and happy to answer any questions our next speaker is Lisa McDaniels followed by Nicole Brown is Lisa here no Nicole Brown is Miss Brown present no council member Bivens that's the last of our speakers on this item for this evening thank you I am going to be making a motion to continue this case but I do need to call up the president of the stop 6 neighborhood association uh it's important that the public realizes when you go through a zoning change request somebody is going to lose someone might win but the process itself has to be pure and that's what's important to me uh when I heard the comments from the people people who spoke it was very uh great concern for me especially the church and after speaking with Pastor Moore throughout the day and you are the president who both speakers have referenced can you tell me what your your Geographic members are saying because you are the president of that area what are you hearing I'm heing and Council and protim Bivens I too was um in communication with childcare and Associates and at the time that we signed the letter or submitted it uh I was thinking that the issue between the community and the association had been resolved then I started getting some calls about the smaller daycare centers concerned about being put out of business and so I started trying to get them to talk with Mr uh Rankin about how can childcare and Associates help to ensure that the smaller businesses that operate out of um out of the SOP community that do more than just take care of kids they also uh do cult drives they feed the children they provide them with medicine so they do a lot more than just take care of kids so I wanted to find out how we could have my right hand and my left hand I want them both and so how do we help them but how do we save small businesses at the same time I want to thank you for clarifying your position uh and you can take your seat okay I I don't want to call on the former zoning chair to speak but I will tell you during a meeting in stop 6 two months ago Mr Ranken Fernando CA and I both urged you to start the process of community engagement because because we knew this this day was coming and so tonight I hear from speakers saying time is of the essence time is of the essence I don't know how you conducted community outreach but I did tell carara that I was concerned because I wasn't hearing that the community was being talked to about zoning uh what they remember from your comments dealt on the political Wing which had no bearing on this whatever the outcome is child care and Associates needs to know I support what you want to do you have a good name but I could not have my community left in limbo right now and I think we have time but you're still going to have to do the Outreach and so when people come and they testify one one way and after the meeting they have a conversation in the hallway and they're left confused we need to be sure that that Outreach is taking place I want to continue this case but I want to make sure you know how to get with saaff who you've worked with as zoning chair to do the appropriate Outreach uh the people who showed up at the zoning commission told you I heard of on tape that they only had one day's notice if the Outreach had been taking place they would have known to look forward to this and so I've received several calls today letting me know that we just don't know what true and what's not so I want to work with you but I need you to do what you know to do which is to talk to the people I saw people signed up from places outside of Fort Worth I am concerned about the people who will be directly impacted because when you get zoning wrong you get it wrong I think there are some assurances that you guys gave verbally in the hallway last week those need to be formalized when letters I don't care if it's a email but I'm going to give you until November I think it's the 12th gen the the okay I want I want to give you enough time to do what I know you know how to do and so it's important that people know why you're meeting with them so that they don't ask me well what do they want and you can call my office but I encourage you staff will tell you how to go about Outreach if you need a refresh your course and so with that I'm moving to continue this case until November 12th to give you time to do what I call respectful and appropriate Outreach and that's my motion got a motion on the floor Council mayor Al admed abundance of caution my wife due to my wife's employment at Child Care Associates I'll be refraining from this vote thank you Michael can I get a second counsel any other discussion on this item um I just want to be really clear and on the record how much respect to have for Child Care Associates and the work you do across the city of Fort Worth and tarant County um I'll reiterate the the remarks that council member Biven already made that I have full confidence you'll be able to gain the respect and Rapport and excitement from your community members I heard two issues that are very different the first is small business support for other child care providers and I've seen you worked hand inand along along providers that are small businesses and actually make them better and stronger and be able to serve more students so I hope we can do that in this case and second on traffic issues and concerns that onerous is not just on the applicant that also is on the city of Fort Worth in reading the zoning application um and the staff recommendation it was very clear to me staff does not have concerns if there is a concern speak now for ever hold your peace or make sure tpw is working alongside the applicant and those um land owners this is a huge transformative project not just for stop 6 but also for the city of Fort Worth and I trust that in the next month we can get to an approval process as needed and if I can be of assistance I will do so and work alongside May Tim bons to assuage the concerns of the community so thank you mayor Pro Tim with that Council please vote motion carries next item is MNC 24- 0872 we have no speakers on this item Council entertain a
