ANTHONY RICCIARDELLI, WHO HE WILL BE HERE SHORTLY. OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE PRELIMINARY AGENDA IS CONSIDERATION ACTION RESULTING FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION. OUR SECOND ITEM IS DISCUSSION DIRECTION OF PLANO'S SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS. I HAD TO READ THAT REALLY CLOSELY. WHICH IS EXCITING. WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE THAT. SO SHANNAH, WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY MANAGEMENT, YOU E-MAIL SHANNAH HAYLEY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS AND CITY OUTREACH FOR THE THE CITY. WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT PLANO'S SESQUICENTENNIAL, AND I PROMISE YOU, THAT WILL BE THE LAST TIME WE USE THAT WORD, BUT I REALLY LOVE THAT WORD, IT'S JUST FUN. HA THAT MEANS IS THAT PLANO IS TURNING 150 YEARS OLD, SO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A MENU OF SOME REALLY FUN OPTIONS, BUT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A SPECIAL LOGO MARK THAT WEE CREATED FOR USE NEXT YEAR. YOU WON'T SEE THIS REPLACING THE CITY'S LOGO BY ANY MEANS, BUT THIS WILL BE APPEARING OVER AND OVER IN DIFFERENT PIECES AS WE CELEBRATE THIS MILESTONE IN OUR CITY'S HISTORY. WE CALL IT OUR BIRTHDAY, IT'S THE MOST POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA POST WE DO EVERY YEAR, AND IT'S MARKING T THE DATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CITY, JUNE 2, 1873. WE DO HAVE SOME GOALS FOR THE THE PLANO 150 CELEBRATION THAT WE'RE USING TO GUIDE OUR THINKING ON THIS, OF UR WE WANT TO HAVE PLAN TO CELEBRATE PLANO'S HERITAGE, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZE AND INCLUDE PLANO'S DIVERSE COMMUNITY AS PART OF OUR HERITAGE STORY. WE WANT TO BUILD A SENSE OF COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION OF EVENT, CELEBRATING THE 150, WHICH HONOR OUR PAST, OUR PRESENT, LAY A FOUNDATION FOR WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY FOR THE FUTURE, AND WHAT WE'LL SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME TODAY TALKING ABOUT IS HOSTING A FUN AND MEMORABLE 150 CELEBRATION. JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, THIS IS THE DEFINITN THA WE'RE USING WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERITAGE, THE HISTORY, TRADITIONS, PRACTICES OF A COUNTRY, SOCIETY OR COMPANY THAT EXIST FROM THE PAST AND CONTINUE TO BE IMPORTANT. SO YOU COULD SIMPLIFY THAT AND JUST SAY THAT HERITAGE IS THE STORY OF PLANO AND OUR STORY IS THE STORY OF OUR PEOPLE, SO THAT'S A DIVERSE VOICE. THOSE ARE DIVERSE EXPERIENCES AND THEY'RE THE EXPERIENCES OF OUR RESIDENTS, OUR BUSINESSES, OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. SO THERE'S SOME MILESTONE DATES THAT YOU WILL START TO SEE THINGS ABOUT PLANO 150. WE HAVE A SPECIAL WEBSITE THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED. IT IS PART OF OUR HERITAGE, PRESERVATION PAGES IN THE PLANNING SECTION OF THE PLANO WEBSITE, BUT THERE WILL BE A DIRECT UNIQUE URL THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET THERE. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF FUN THINGS ON THAT PAGE TALKING ABOUT PLANO'S HISTORY WITH VIDEOS AND DIFFERENT THINGS I. INCORPORATED WITHIN THAT. FEBRUARY 9th IS STATE OF THE CITY. I'M QUITE SURE WE'LL BE TALKING SOME OF PL PLANO 150. MAY IS PRESERVIONONTH. AND JUNE, OF COURSE, IS OUR OFFICIAL INCORPORATION DATE AND IT IS THE DATE OF OUR 150 CELEBRATION EVENT. NOW, THE INCORPORATION DATE, AGAIN, I TOLD YOU WAS JUNE 2, THAT'S A FRIDAY. SO OUR SPECIAL EVENT, WHAT WE'RE CALLING PLANO'S BIRTHDAY PARTY IS GOING TO BE ON SATURDAY, JUNE 3, AND TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT EVENT, I'M GOING TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO MICHELLE HAWKINS. >> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, I'M MICHE ARTS AND EVENTS MANAGER FOR THE CITY. I'M HONORED TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THE SESQUICENTENNIAL AND BE PART OF THE PLANNING OF THAT, AND SO -- AND THAT'S THE LAST TIME I'M GOING TO SAY THAT WORD TOO. BUT IT WAS TASKED TO ME TO THROW THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, I HAD TO ASK MYSELF WHAT MAKES A GOOD BIRTHDAY PARTY. FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH DECORATIONS. I DON'T DO A LOT OF WORDS ON MY SLIDES. WE WANT AN EXPLOSION OF COLOR, BALLOON, NOT REALLY BALLOON, THEY WILL POP IN TEXAS, BUT I WANT BIG CASCADING BALLOONS AROUND THE GAZEBO, ON THE POND, ON THE BRIDGE, WHEN YOU WALK INTO HAGGARD PARK, I WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENING, AND I WANT IT TO BE TO BE REALLY EVIDENT THAT SOMETHING SPECIAL IS HAPPENING. NEXT IS GOING TO BE FOOD. SWEETS WILL TAKE CENTER STAGE, SO CAKE, CUPCAKES, SNOW CONES, ICE CREAM, WE'LL HAVE OTHER FOOD THERE, BUT I WANT IT TO BE OVERLY LIKE SWEETS ARE WHAT'S AVAILABLE. WORK WITH LOCAL CHEF TO DO A CUSTOM CAKE TO HAVE ON DISPLAY THAT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL, WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF FREE CAKE THAT IS HANDED OUT. ENTERTAINMENT. SO DOWN AT THE PLATFORM DOWN BY THE POND, I'M GOING TO HAVE A DJ THAT'S DOING TO LEAD THE CROWD IN DANCE, LINE DANCE, NOT COUNTRY WESTERN, MORE LIKE TIKTOK DANCES. THE POPULAR MUSIC WILL BE PLAYED THROUGHOUT THE PART. WE'LL HAVE STILT WALKERS, JUGGLEG BALLOON ART, ON THE ART CENTER STAGE WE'LL HAVE OTHER DEMONSTRATIONS, SOMETHING LIKE A MAGICIAN. I DON'T SEE LIVE MUSIC AT THIS EVENT, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE ACTIVITIES HAPPENING ALL THROUGHOUT THE PARK, AND THEN THAT POPULAR MUSIC THAT PEOPLE KNOW WILL BE PUMPED THROUGH THE WHOLE PARK. AND THEN GAMES. WE'LL HVE CARNIVAL GAMES. NOT SO MUCH BOUNCE HOUSES WHERE YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF SHOES AND GO INTO, AGAIN, THAT'S JUNE, AND THAT IS A SWEAT BOX, CARNIVAL GAMES THAT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN AND TRY EVERYTHING. ALL OF IT WILL BE FREE. WE'LL FEATUREUR HERITAGE PARTNERS. I HAVEN'T TALKED TO THEM YET, BUT I REALLY HOPE TO HAVE THE HERITAGE FARM STUFF OUT THERE WITH FURRY FRIENDS, ALMOST LIKE A PETTING ZOO SITUATION, HAVE THE CONSERVANCY TELLING THE HISTORY OF PLANO LIKE THEY DO WHEN THEY READ POLAR EXPRESS AT DICKENS. MASONIC LODGE, AND THEN WE CAN ALSO HAND OUT WALKING TOUR MAPS FOR OUR HERITAGE AND OUR ART ASSETS THAT ARE IN WALKING DISTANCE, AS YOU'RE AT THIS EVENT, YOU CAN GO CHECK OUT SOME OF THE STU. I WANT TO HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, WELCOMIN FUN, SEATING AREAS, THROUGHOUT HAGGARD PARK THAT YOU DIDN'T NORMALLY SEE, SO SOMETHING A LITTLE KUSHY, A LITTLE MORE FUN UNDER THE TREES, JUST FOR GATHERING SPACES. AND WE'RE GOING TO CREATE THREE DIFFERENT SELFIE INSTAGRAMMABLE MOMENT STATIONS THAT WILL BE ON DISPLAY THE WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE, IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO CELEBRATE WITH US AT THIS EVENT, YOU WILL KNOW THAT SOMETHING DID HAPPEN HERE AND I CAN STILL CELEBRATE WITH MY PICTURE. AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING WITH PARTNERING AT PISD, HAVE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS CREATE BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR PLANO AHEAD OF TIME, WE CAN USE THAT IN THE DECOR THROUGHOUT THE PARK, HAVE A BIRTHDAY CARD STATION, IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE YOUR BIRTHDAY CARD WHILE YOU'RE THERE, HAVE A PLACE TO DISPLAY THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO BE CELEBRATING THEIR 40th ANNIVERSARY IN 2023 AS WELL. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE GIVE AWAYS, WE'RE LOOKING AT CUSTOM BIRTHDAY HATS, THOSE LITTLE BLOW TOYS, THE PIN WHEEL, AND THEN SOME GOO BAGS THA ARE ALSO BRANDED IN PLANO SPECIFIC GIFTS IN THOSE. AND THEN THE FINALE WILL BE -- [ LAUGHTER ] -- IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER WITH THE MAYOR HAVING A FEW REMARKS AND THEN LEADING SINGING OF THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG FOR THE ENTIRE CROWD, AND END IN SOME SMALL FIREWORKS WHICH I ALREADY TALKED TO THE FIRE MARSHAL ABOUT. [ LAUGHTER ] AND NO PARTY WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT AN AFTER PARTY, SO ONCE EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN OVER IN THE PARK, WE'LL HAVE LIVE BANDS HAPPENING OVER IN MCCALL PLAZA. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU GUYS HAVE? >> Mayor Muns: GO AHEAD. >> I LOVE THE IDEAS, BY THE WAY. FOR THE SWEETS AND THE COOKOUT, I JUST -- IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR US SENIOR CITIZENS, WE CAN'T EAT A LOT OF SWEETS, POSSIBLY SOME SORT OF A HEALTHY OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE, VEGETABLES -- >> SURE. WE ALWAYS TRYO -- >> Y CAN MAKE CARROT -- CARROT CAKE. >> CARROTS AND CANDLES. [ LAUGHTER ] ONE DAY. ONE DAY OUT OF THE YEAR. >> ONE DAY, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS HAVE DIABETES, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN'T CONSUME A LOT OF SWEET, YOU KNOW -- >> NO SUGAR ADDED, WE'LL HAVE THOSE OPTIONS, GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS, I WILL MAKE SURE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF VEGETABLES TOO. >> YOU CAN JUST SEND IT TO MY HOUSE. >> THE FARMERS MARKET, GEORGE'S, IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. >> THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS MICHELLE. FOR THE SESQUICENTENNIAL, DO WE -- AND I PARTIALLY JUST WANTED AN EXCUSE TO SAY SESQUICENTENNIAL. ARE YOU ENVISIONING HAVING ACTIVITIES AND STUFF IN 150 SETS, LIKE THE CAKE WALK OR 150 SQUARE HOPSCOTCH THINGS FOR KIDS, ANY THEMED 150. >> I LIKE THE HOPSCOTCH. WE CAN DO IT DOWN THE SIDEWALK, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> ARE WE GOING TO HAVE 150 CANDLES OP THE CAKE. >> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PYRO. [ LAUGHTER ] >> 150 THEMED STUFF, GOOD THINGS COME IN 150s. >> THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED, IT'S ALL STILL IN THE BRAINSTORMING THERE'S SCAVENGER HUNT, 150 THINGS TO DO, OR 150 THINGS YOU KNOW, STILL BEING DISCUSS. >> Downs: WAY AHEAD OF ME. THANK YOU. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU MAYOR. I'M SURE YOU'RE ALREADY ON TOP OF THIS, MICHELLE, BUT JUST A QUICK QUESTIN, GIVEN THAT IT'S GOING TO BE EARLY JUNE IN PLANO, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE COOLING STATIONS OR WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO BEAT THE HEAT. >> THAT'S AO WH WE'RE HOLDING IT LATER IN THE DAY, 4 TO 8 OR 5 TO 8, SO IT WILL JUST BE HOT FOR US SETTING UP. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH THAT. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU, MICHELLE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO IT, IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. >> NEXT ITEM IS DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION OF HALLMARK FUNDS LAURIE? -- HOME-ARP FUNDS. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, HOW ARE YOU THIS EVENING, WE ARE COMING BACK THIS EVENING AFTER GETTING FURTHER DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL ABOUT POSSIBLY CHANGING DIRECTION THAT COUNCIL HAD GIVEN US BACK IN LATE MARCH, ABOUT THE USE OF HOME ARP FUNDS, WITH ME TONIGHT, I HAVE SHANETTE, WHO IS OUR HOUSING COMMUNITY SERVICES MANAGER. WE DID PROVIDE YOU JUST SORT OF A BASIC MEMO AND A REMINDER OF WHAT THAT PRESENTATION WAS IN MARCH, AND THEN WE'LL TALK THROUGH WHAT OUR POSSIBILITIES ARE AT THG TO GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO SHANETTE TO LET HER TAKE ON THE NEXT PART OF OUR PRESENTATION. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY EXECUTIVES, SHANETTE EADEN, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES MANAGER. SO I'M GOING TO REVISIT THIS QUICKLY. WE RECEIVED OR HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED $1,980,051 IN HOME ARP FUNDS, ARP STANDS FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. ANY TIME THAT YOU HEAR ME TALK ABOUT HOM LIKE A HOME GRANT, I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER HOME MEANS WHATEVER ACTIVITIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO UNDERTAKE WITH THOSE FUNDS HAVE TO BE TOWARD SOMEONE GETTING A HOME. EITHER GETTING A HOME, MAINTAINING THEIR HOME, STAYING IN THEIR HOME, BUT IT HAS TO BE LINKED TO SOME TYPE OF HOUSING. SO THE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES ARE LISTED HERE. YOU'VE SEEN THEM HERE, THE PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PURCHASING OR DEVELOPING NONSHELTER, TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE, AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES WHICH INCLUDES HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVICES WHICH WILL BE THE BULK OF THE SCUSON FROM HERE ON OUT. WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL, I ALWAYS STAND UP HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME, WELL, HERE IS A CHART FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY SEE IT. SO THESE FUNDS HAVE TO BE SPENT ON INDIVIDUALS OR HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE 80% OR BELOW THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME, AND RIGHT NOW THAT IS A FAMILY OF FOUR MAKING NO MORE THAN $77,900. THEY WOULD QUALIFY TO UTILIZE THESE FUNDS FOR WHATEVER ACTIVITY YOU CHOOSE FOR US TO UNDERTAKE. SO I'M GOING TO FOCUS NOW ON -- ON HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, IN YOUR 2022-2023 CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC GOALS, ONE OF YOUR -- UNDER YOUR GOAL OF HOMELESSNESS, ONE OF THE INITIATIVES OR THE INITIATIVE THAT YOU HAVE THERE IS HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION. WHEN I SAY HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LOOKS AT IT AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, SO WITH HOME ARP, THESE ARE THE SPECIFICS. ONE, WE CAN HAVE SHORT-TERM ASSISTANCE IN RENT AND UTILITIES WHICH IS THREE MONTHS AS IT SAYS HERE, MEDIUM TERM IS ANYWHERE FROM 3 MONTHS TO UP TO 24 MONTHS, AND THESE ARE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GET ASSISTANCE FOR JUNE, AND YOU COME BACK IN AUGUST. IT'S YOU GET ASSISTANCE FOR JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST. YOU DON'T COME IN AND OUT, BUT YOU REMAIN IN THERE GETTING ASSISTANCE AND RECEIVING CASE MANAGEMENT. THE OTHER THING IS WE HAVE, AND WE FOCUS ON USING FOR RENTS, FAIR MARKET RENT, I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE WHEN WE GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE, AND THEN I WANTED TO TELL Y'ALL THAT IN THE GUIDELINES THAT HUD HAS SET, IT CAN'T JUST BE A UTILITY PROGRAM. I HAD A DISSSION WITH OUR HUD REP SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS, AND WHAT SHE SAID IS THAT SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO TIE TO SOMEONE BUT FOR RECEIVING THIS ASSISTANCE, THEY WOULD BE HOMELESS, SO THEY SAID IT'S OKAY TO HAVE A FEW WORDS UTILITY ONLY, HOWEVER WE HAVE TO SAY BUT FOR GETTING UTILITY AS STAINS IT WOULD BE HOMELESS, THE BULK OF ASSISTANCE PROVIDED WITH THIS MONEY THEN SHOULD BE COUPLED UTILITY ASSISTANCE WITH SOME SORT OF RENT. OKAY. SO THIS IS OUR FMR, THIS IS AT WE'RE PROPOSING AS FAR AS THE TYPES OF RENTS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY FOR PLANO RESIDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED OR QUALIFY WE ARE LOOKING AT SMALL AREA RENTS. THAT MEANS DEPENDING ON THE ZIP CODE, IT WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH RENT WE ARE ABLE TO PAY ON YOUR BEHALF. THESE ARE SET AT 120% OF THE SINGLE -- EXCUSE ME. OF THE SMALL AREA RENTS. IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE DO WE GET 120%, THAT IS THE SAME PERCENTAGE THAT WE USE FOR OUR RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM. IT'S THE SAME PERCENTAGE THAT WE USE FOR OUR EXISTING HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM. IT'S THE SAME PERCENTAGE THAT WE USE FOR ANY TYPE OF PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE CITY WHERE WE ARE DEALING WITH PAYING SOMEBODY'S RENT OR UTILITIES. WE FOCUS ON THIS. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A SNAP SHOT OF OUR EXPERIENCE OF PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO OUR RESIDENTS BOTH DURING COVID AS WELL AS JUST HOW IT LOOKS WHEN IT'S NOT COVID ON A RULAR TIME FRAME. WE RECEIVED ASSISTANCE FROM THE U.S. TREASURY. A LITTLE OVER $15 MILLION. $15.15 MILLION FROM THE U.S. TREASURY TO USE THAT SOLELY FOR PLANO RESIDENTS THAT WERE AFFECTED BY COVID TO PAY THEIR RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE. YOU CAN SEE THE TIME FRAME AND HOW LONG OF A SPAN THE MONEY WAS SPENT FROM MARCH 2021 WHEN WE STARTED. WE EXPENDED ALL OF THESE FUNDS BY THIS RECENT PAST AUGUST. WE HELPED A TOTAL OF1,048 HOUSEHOLDS. THE AVERAGE MONTHLY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SPENT IN ONE MONTH FOR EVERYBODY THAT WE ASSISTED IN THAT MONTH WAS $717,500. THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEED, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT QUALIFIED. EVEN FOR THIS PROGRAM WE STILL HAD TO FOLLOW HUD'S INCOME GUIDELINES, ALTHOUGH IT WAS TREASURY MONEY. 80% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME. THE OTHER THING IS ON AVERAGE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BETWEEN RENT AND UTILITY ASSIST THAT THAT WE PROVIDED TO THOSE USEHDS EACH MONTH WAS ABOUT $12,000. SO ABOUT $12,869 THAT YOU SEE HERE. THAT IS COVID-SPECIFIC. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW IT IS JUST IN OUR REGULAR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION YEAR. IT'S A PROGRAM THAT IS ADMINISTERED BY THE ASANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY. THE ERAT PROGRAM WAS ADMINISTERED BY CATHOLIC CHARITIES. WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, WITH HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, OUR REGULAR PROGRAM, HUD HAS A REQUIREMENTHAT SS YOU CANNOT HELP FOR MORE THAN THREE MONTHS BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM -- OUR REGULAR PROGRAM IS FUNDED WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS. PRIOR TO HOME, WE ARE UNABLE TO USE HOME FUNDS FOR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION. THIS IS A NEW THING. WE COULD ONLY USE CDBG. WITH THAT MONEY WE COULD PAY THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS. WE COULD PAY THIS MONTH. WE'RE IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, AND NOVEMBER. WHAT WE CAN'T DO WITH THESE FUNDS IS GO BACK AND PAY AUGUST. HOME ARP FUNDS WILL ALLOW US TO GO BACK AND PAY THE BACK RENT PLUS GOING FOR PLUS THE CURRENT MONTH AND GOING FORWARD. OUR REGULAR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM WE'RE UNABLE TO DO THAT JUST BY NATURE OF THE GUIDELINES THAT ARE SET BY HUD. WE HELPED 104 PEOPLE THIS YEAR. I KNOW NORMALLY WHEN I'M TALKING BEFORE YOU ALL I GIVE YOU FY2020 NUMBERS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVEN'T REPORTED ON THEIR FOURTH QUARTER. WELL, I KNOW THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE THEY EXPENDED -- THEY MEANING THEASSISTANCE NTER, EXPENDED ALL THEIR FUNDS BY THIS TIME. REGULARLY WITH THIS PROGRAM THEY SPENT $12,900 A MONTH OVERALL IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE HOUSEHOLDS, AND EACH HOUSEHOLD RECEIVED $2,517 ON AVERAGE EVERY MONTH. NOW THAT YOU CAN SEE KIND OF HOW IT WAS WITH COVID FUNDS AND HOW IT IS NOW WITH OUR REGULAR FUNDS I AM HERE BEFORE YOU WITH DIRECTION ON HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED. SPECIFICALLY IS IT YOUR DESIRE FOR US TO UTILIZE HOME ARP FUNDS FOR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, WHICH MEANS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY SPECIFIC PERIMETERS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE PUT IN PLACE? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU ONLY WANT TO HELP A HOUSEHOLD THAT QUALIFIES FOR SIX MONTHS? DO YOU WANT TO HELP THEM FOR A YEAR LIKE WE DID WITH COVID FUNDING? THOSE ARE PERIMETERS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU ALL GAVE US SOME -- WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THAT. THEN SHOULD THE INCOME BE RESTRICTED FURTHER THAN 80% OF THE AMI? WHAT HUD SAYS IS YOU HAVE TO HELP PEOPLE THAT ARE 80% OR BELOW THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME. WHAT WE USED TO DO WITH OUR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM PRE-COVID, SO BEFORE COVID EXISTED, IS WE GOT TO WHERE WE ONLY WOULD HELP PEOPLE ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. NOT ONLY DID WE HELP THEM ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, BUT WE ONLY HELPED PPLEHAT HAD 50% OR BELOW OF THE AMI AS FAR AS THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME. IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY, IT'S BECAUSE WHAT WE NOTICED IN OUR REGULAR PRE-COVID HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM IS THAT WE HAD SOME RESIDENTS THAT WE KNEW WOULD COME YEARLY AROUND JUNE AND JULY FOR ASSISTANCE, AND SOME THAT WOULD COME AROUND NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. THEY WOULD COINCIDE WITH VACATIONS AND COIRN SIDE WITH H THEY'RE BUYING GIFTS. NOT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS DID THAT. IT WAS ENOUGH TO WHERE THE ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY MET WITH US AND SAID WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. I WOULD LIKE DIRECTION ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE THESE FUNDS TO BE ADMINISTERED IF YOU WANT TO SET CERTAIN PERIMETERS AROUND IT. I AM AVAILABLE FOR I QUESTIONS AS WELL AS LAURIE. >> I THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SLIGHT MISSTATEMENT ABO T ASSISTANCE PER HOUSEHOLD. IT WASN'T MONTHLY. THAT'S TOTAL. WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE ERAP, IT WAS $12,869 TOTAL FOR A HOUSEHOLD AND THEN FOR THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION. IT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF ABOUT $2SHGS 500. JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, THAT WAS NOT A MONTHLY AMOUNT THAT WE WERE PAYING FOR THOSE HOUSEHOLDS. A NUMBER OF OUR MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ARE GOING THROUGH WITH UTILITY COSTS AND INFLATION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AS SHANETTE MENTIONED, TYING THAT TO HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION IS A CRITICAL ELEMENT TO THIS THAT HAS TO BE MAINTAINED FOR THE USE OF THESE FUNDS, BUT THOSE THREE QUESTIONS REALLY WILL PROVIDE US SOME GUIDANCE FROM A COUNCIL PERSPECTIVE AND WOULD HELP US TO BE ABLE TO KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM THOSE FUNDS. >> CAN YOU REPEAT HOW MUCH MONEY THAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT WE APPLY TO THIS? GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE. >> WE HAVE A TOTAL OF -- >> THAT WE COULD PUT TOWARDS IT BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO USE THIS WHOLE AMOUNT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THE FULL AMOUNT. BUT YOU HAVE TO USE THE FUNDING ON ONE OF THESE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HERE. I LOOKED AT THIS NUMBER, AND I'M TRYING TO RATIONALIZE IT OUT FOR WHAT WE'RE USING THE FUNDS FOR. MY DIRECTION REALLY INVOLVES THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE FUNDS GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE AGENCIES WILL USE 20% OF IT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. CITIES ANDHAT THEY HAVE ER ALLOCATED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, I SEE THAT IT VARIES AS WELL. THEY CHOOSE WHETHER IT'S 20% OR 15% OR 10% OR 0%. I THINK THAT IS UP FOR A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCUSSION WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY BECAUSE 20% OF IT -- ALL OF IT AUTOMATICALLY PULLS OFF ABOUT 400,000. THAT'S THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT BEING USED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF DOING RENT AND UTITY ASSISTANCE, HELPING TO PREVENT HOMELESSNESS. I DON'T THINK THAT TO ME IT IS A NUMBER THAT WE CAN HELP BY ACQUIRING OR BUILDING SHELTERS. BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT BIG ENOUGH TO DO THAT, AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS TO ME ARE ONES, ESPECIALLY THE REVIEW THAT WAS PROVIDED IN OUR PACKET IS SOMETHING THE CITY CAN DO ON ITS OWN. IT NEEDS TO BE MUCHORE A PRIVATE INVESTO OF SOME SORT. IF WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT TYPE OF ASSISTANCES WHERE WE'RE BUILDING, AND I REALIZE THAT I WOULD LIKE TOEE THE DOLLARS THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE DOLLARS USED FOR RENTAL ASSIST I CAN'T BES, UTILITY ASSISTANCE. THAT TYPE OF PREVENTION OF HOMELESSNESS WITH SOME OF THE COUNSELING AS WELL BECAUSE WE CANNOT BREAK THAT CYCLE IF WE DON'T HAVE SOME FORM OF COUNSELING WRAPPED AROUND IT. AGAIN, THE CONCERN IS WHO APPLIES THIS AND WHO MANAGES AND IMPLEMENTS IT. TO ME IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO WORK WITH OUR NONPROFITS THAT WO I THE COMMUNITY. MAYBE IT'S CATHOLIC CHARITIES OR ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY OR ONE OF THOSE AGENCIES TO HAVE THEM ACTUALLY DO ALL OF THAT APPLICATION RATHER THAN OUR TEAM TRYING TO DO THAT APPLICATION. THAT WOULD BE MY DIRECTION. >> THANK YOU. WE ACTUALLY JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, IT'S A BIG TASK. THE CITY OF PLANO HAS NEVER RUN THEIR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM INTERIM BECAUSE OF LOOKING AT BANK STATEMENTS, QUALIFYING. WE DON'T HAVE THE CACITY WHERE ARE R NONPROFIT PARTNER HAVE BED TWO GREAT ONES THAT WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH. JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW, WITH OUR OWN HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION MONEY OR WITH ARP SPECIFICALLY, WE CAN'T USE MORE THAN 15% OF THESE FUNDS. HOWEVER, WE AS THE CITY -- WE WILL NOT BE TAKING A LARGE PERCENTAGE. IT WILL BE A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE, IF ANY, FOR OUR OWN INTERNAL USE. EVEN WITH ALL OF THE, FOR INSTANCE, THE ERAT MONEY THAT I MENTIONED BEFORE. THE CITY'S PERCENTAGE OF THE 15 MILLION WAS 11,000. OF THAT 11,000, ONE WAS FOR A CONTRACTOR. ONE WAS TO DO SOME LEAD TESTS THAT WE HAD TO DO INITIALLY. YEAH, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND AND WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT WE WILL NOT BE DOING THAT AND HAVE THE EXPERTS DO IT. THANK YOU. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING COUNCILMAN GRADY SAID. I THINK THE MONEY IS SUBSTANTIALLY SHOULD GO TOWARDS RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS UNSELING. I WOULDN'T HAVE CONSIDERED THAT PEOPLE WOULD KEEP COMING BACK TO THE WELL EVERY YEAR. MAYBE I'M NOT CYNICAL ENOUGH. I THINK MAYBE SAYING ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS IS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE -- HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE, BUT MAYBE UP TO SIX MONTHS WORTH OF ASSISTANCE. IT'S KIND OF ARBITRARY, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD HELP US SPREAD IT AROUND TO THOSE MOST IN NEED. RECOGNIZING THAT THE FUNDING TH -- >> CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE QUESTIONS ON THAT SLIDE TO MAKE SURE YEAR COVERING THOSE? THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION ON THE POINTS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER GRADY WAS MAKING. THIS NEARLY $2 MILLION, IS THAT ENOUGH TO DO EITHER OF THE HOTEL CONVERSION PROJECTS? EITHER HOTEL CONVERSION OR HOTEL CONVERSION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING? >> IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO DO IT SOLELY BY ITSELF. >> DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH OF A PORTION THAT PROJECT COST? ARE WE TALKING HALF OF IT OR IT'S 10%? DO WE KNOW EVEN BALLPARK? >> I SPEAK TO PEOPL E PEOPLE -- I SPOKE TO -- WHEN I WAS SPEAKING TO OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THEY'RE USED TO DOING THINGS LIKE THIS, THEY WERE THINKING $15 MILLION. THAT'S FOR A SMALL UNIT. IF THE OTHER FUNDS ARE NOT RAISED, THEN THEY CAN'T BE USED. >> LET ME SEE IF I CAN'T HELP THE COUNCIL MEMBER A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I DID INVESTIGATE THIS. IF YOU WERE TO BUY AN EXISTING HOTEL, MAYBE IT'S RUN DOWN OR MAYBE IT'S A TWO-STAR HOTEL, YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND -- IT'S PROBABLY APPRAISED AT 3 AHE PERSON IS NOT GOING TO LET IT GO FOR PROBABLY LESS THAN 5 BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT AN INCOME THAT'S ALREADY PRODUCING ON IT, SO THEY WANT TO HAVE A REVENUE STREAM ON THE FIRST YEAR OF GIVING UP THE PROPERTY. YOU'RE LOOKING AT $5 MILLION DOWN TO BUY THE BUILDING. THAT'S GOOD CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THEY SOUNDED LIKE POTENTIALLY MORE PERMANENT STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS THAN USING THE MONEY IN A WAY WHERE THE FUNDS WILL BE USED AND EVENTUALLY RUN OUT. IF THIS IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TO DO EITHER OF THOSE THINGS, THEN I GUESS MY PROPOSED DIRECTION ALSO, LIKE THE OTHERS WHO HAVE SPOKEN ON THIS, WOULD BE TO USE THIS FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE, UTILITY ASSISTANCE AS PERMITTED BY LAW TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. I THI AOHE POINT THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS MADE, I THINK HAVING THE THREE-YEAR -- THE ONE AND THREE-YEAR LIMITATION IS IMPORTANT, AND THE 50% AMI LIMITATION OR WHATEVER THAT NUMBER NEEDS TO BE, BUT BASICALLY RECOGNIZING THAT THESE FUNDS ARE FINITE. LET'S TRY TO TARGET THEM TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST IN NEED. I THOUGHT THOSE ARE ALL GREAT IDEAS. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHAT I HAVE HEARD SO FAR ON MAKING SURE THAT I'M KIND OF COLLECTING THESE AS WE GO, RENT, UTILITY ASSISTANCE, AND COUNSELING ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, 50% OF AMI, AND I HEARD SIX MONTHS OF ASSISTANCE OR KIND OF THE ELEMENTS THAT I HAVE HEARD SO FAR. I'M JUST KEEPING TRACK AND MAKING SURE THAT AS WE MOVE ALONG THAT WE'RE KIND OF WORKING FROM A CONSISTENT LIST. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. >> YOU RECAPPED THAT VERY WELL, SO I WON'T REPEAT WHAT YOU JUST STATED. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION COUNTRY FUNDS BE USED FORWARDS THOSE ORGANIZATIONS OR EVEN SALVATION ARM FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE A WARMING STATION? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT? THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, BUT THAT WILL STILL QUALIFY UNDER, FOR INSTANCE, ASSISTING PEOPLE IN GETTING IDs THAT WOULD QUALIFY AS SUPPORT SERVICES, BUT IT HAS TO BE IN CONNECTION WITH THEM G HOUSING. WE COULDN'T JUST FUND AN AGENCY THAT GETS IDs, BUT WE COULD FUND AN AGENCY THAT GETS IDs AND PROVIDES TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. >> OR WE COULD FUND THE AGENCY THAT DOES PROVIDE THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND THEN THEY COULD USE RESOURCES POTENTIALLY OF ANOTHER AGENCY? >> DEFINITELY. OUR NONPROFITS, THEY'RE ALWAYS COLLABORATING. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER ALREADY A PART OF REGULAR NT IS HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION. IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A PART OF THIS PROGRAM AS WELL. >> WE COULD DO A SLIDING SCALE. COULD THAT BE DONE? WE COULD DO WHATEVER. WHOEVER -- LET'S SAY THE ASSISTANCE CENTER, SINCE THEY'RE USED TO RUNNING OUR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM ALREADY. LET'S SAY THEY'RE THE ONES ADMINISTERING THESE FUNDS. IF WE TELL THEM A SLIDING SCALE. WE JUST NEED TO CLARIFY. IF IT'S A SLIDING SCALE THAT WOULD DETERMINE HOW MUCH ASSISTANCE THEY WOULD RECEIVE OR WOULD IT BE A SLIDING SCALE THAT DETERMINES HOW LONG THE ASSISTANCE WOULD LAST. I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE ALL OR NOTHING. WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW THE SLIDING SCALE WILL WORK WHEN LOOKING AT THE 1.9 OVERALL. Y >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HELPING MORE FOLKS IN THAT CATEGORY. I THINK WE WOULD ALL BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. >> THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT, ME THINKING OFFHAND, IS BREAKING UP THE 1.9 AND SAYING A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE. LET'S SAY 50% IS RESERVED FOR REIDENTS THAT MAKE 50% OR BELOW OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME. THEN MAYBE 25% IS FOR 80 TO 60. WE COULD BREAK IT UP. THAT'S EASY TO DO. WE COULD BREAK UP THE FUNDING IN THAT MANNER. THEN THE AGENCY THAT ADMINISTERS THE MONEY, THEY WOULD ALREADY KNOW. THEY WOULD MAKE SURE THAT EVERY MONTH, IN ESSENCE, THEY'RE TAKING PEOPLE FROM ALL CATEGORIES. JUST KNOWING THAT WHEN THEY MAY RUN OUT SOONER THAN THE OTHER ONE WOULD LAST LONGER. STILL ABIDING BY THE THREE YEARS AND STILL ABIDING BY THE NO MORE THAN SIX MONTHS UNLESS THE HIGHER THE INCOME YOU WOULD WANT LESS THAN SIXMOHS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER TOO. WOULD WE BE ALLOWED TO DESIGNATE IF WE SELECTED ONE AGENCY TO ADMINISTER THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND TAKE THOSE DOLLARS? COULD WE PUT A REQUIREMENT IN THERE THAT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE IS TO BE USED WITH LOCAL OTHER AGENCIES TO HELP WITH THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WOULD BE -- THAT WOULD BE GETTING AN ID, THINGS LIKE THAT. >> SO BECAUSE -- HMM. IT WOULD BE HARD. 1.99 MILLION IS GOING TO BE HARD TO MAKE AN AGENCY SAY, HEY, YOU'VE GOT TO GO WORK WITH X AGENCY BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING IDs. IF THE PEOPLE CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM ITSELF, IT MAY BE A HARD CONNECTION FOR ADMINISTERING AGENCIES TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD MAKE THAT CONNECTION HAPPEN WITH THESE FUNDS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> IT DOES. THANK YOU. MADEYOR MUNS: GO AHEAD. >> ONE THING WE CAN FOR IS HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PARTNER WITH OTHER AGENCIES. THAT'S JUST AN OPTION. IT MAY NOT BE AS SPECIFIC, BUT IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CONSIDER AS WE REVIEW THE RFPs, AND WE'LL UNDERSTAND WHO THE RESPONDING NONPROFITS ARE AND REALLY WHAT THEIR CAPACITIES ARE. THERE'S ONLY A FEW NONPROFITS THAT CAN HANDLE MONEY AT THIS SCALE SO WE KNOW PRETTY MUCH WHO THOSE PARTNERS ARE. WE WOULD HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO GET THOSE RESPONSES PRETTY SOON AND THEN BE ABLE TO TELL YOU HOW THAT WOULD ALL FALL OUT. I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A WAY TO KIND OF GET THEM TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY MIGHT PARTNER WITH OTHER AGENCIES FOR THOSE TYPES OF SOCIAL SERVICES. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME OF IT USED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY HOMELESS AND GETTING THEM TEMPORARILY HOUSED BECAUSE I KNOW THE PROBLEM ISN'T JUST WITH HOMELESS PREVENTION, BUT WE NEED TO GET SOME OF THE PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS AND HELP THEM FIND IF THERE'S A WAY TO DO THAT UNDER SUPPORT SERVICES, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT. I WOULD LOVE TO ASK THESE PARTNERS WHAT WOULD BE A GREAT RECOMMENDATION. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WORK WITH ALL OF THESE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY THINK IS THE CORRECT PARAMETERS OR WHAT THEY THINK IS THE BEST RESTRICTION, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM THEM BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION ON THAT. >> ONE THING THAT WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION, IF TRE IS AN INTEREST BY COUNCIL, TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE IS A POSSIBILITY. WE DO HAVE A TPR A SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SPLITTING THE FUNDS BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND ASSISTANCE. THAT COULD BE A POTENTIAL WAY WE COULD SPLIT THE MONEY. IF YOU WANT IT TO HAVE IT MORE HEAVILY WEIGHTED ONE VERSUS ANOTHER, THAT'S FINE. WITH REGARDS TO REACHING OUT, WE ACTUALLY HEARD FROM THE ASSISTANCE CENTER OF COLLIN COUNTY LAST WEEK. THEY'VE COME TO US KNOWING THAT OCTOBER 1st OUR REGULAR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM IS STARTING AGAIN. THEY TOLD US, WE ALREADY HAVE RESIDENTS SAYING OCTOBER 1st IS THE DAY, RIGHT, THAT WE CAN START CALLING AND ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY HAVE ASKED US THEY'RE OUTSIDE TO RUNNING OUR PROGRAM WITH THE HOPES THAT TONIGHT WE COULD GET FURTHER DIRECTION TO GO AHEAD AND PROCEED WITH A PLAN THAT WE COULD SUBMIT TO HUD AND BEGIN USING THE MONEY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO COME BACK. WE DEFINITELY WILL COME BACK IF NEEDED. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHAT I HEARD, THE LIST IS -- pMAYOR MU. >> RENT UTILITY ASSISTANCE, COUNSELING, SUPPORT SERVICES HAVE MOVED PEOPLE TOWARDS HOUSING. I TAKE IT WE NEED TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THOSE PERIMETERS CAN FIT WITHIN AN RFP THAT IS POTENTIALLY POSSIBLE, BUT IF YOU WILL ALLOW US TO GO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK, I THINK THIS IS VALUABLE DIRECTION AND INSIGHT, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME QUESTIONS AND THERE MAY BE SOME VARIABLES THAT WE HAVE TO ADJUST ALONG THE WAY. I THINK WE COULD COME BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER AND HAVE A DISCUSSION IF THAT'S OKAY. I FEEL LIKE I'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM COUNCIL TO GIVE SOME OF THAT DIRECTION, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE HEADS ARE ALL NODDING THAT EXPLORING THOSE ELEMENTS IS WHERE COUNCIL -- TH IS COMING BACK IN STION, AND OCTOBER THE RIGHT DATE, OR IS COMING BACK IN SEPTEMBER THE RIGHT DATE SINCE FUNDING USUALLY STARTS OCTOBER 1? >> SO THIS FUNDING WILL START WHENEVER WE SUBMIT A PLAN TO HUD. IT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S A SEPARATE SEGMENT POT OF FUNDING. >> THERE'S NOT A DROP-DEAD DATE? >> IT'S NOT REGULAR FUNDING. THAT'S WHY WE RECEIVED THE MONEY A YEAR AGO, AND IT'S ALL RIGHT THAT WE HAVEN'T ALLOCATED IT. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU WERE JUST SAYING ABOUT THE ASSISTANCE CENTER. IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME DIRECTION TO BE ABLE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT WE WILL ONLY GET ASSISTANCE ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS SO THEY CAN START SHARING THAT INFORMATION NOW WHEN THEY'RE GETTING PHONE CALLS INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR US TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION. CAN WE AT LEAST MAKE A DECISION ON THAT THAT WE -- CAN I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE WILL USE THE FUNDS? >> PART OF THAT CHALLENGE, AND I THINK THAT LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT DATE WE HOPE TO BE MAKING A DECISION IT WILL HELP THEM TO KNOW WHEN THEY CAN ANTICIPATE AN ANSWER FROM THE CITY, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. LAURIE, ANYTHING ELSE FROM YOU? >> THE OTHER THING WE WERE GOING TO SAY IS I THINK THAT'S PART OF OUR NORMAL HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM. MOST LIKELY WE ARE GOING TO TELL THEM THAT WE CAN MOVE BACK TO THAT FOR OUR REGULAR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM. SINCE THAT IS WHAT WE DID PRECOVID, WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK SEPARATELY AT THESE FUNDS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO BEATION BIT MORE LENIENTITH THIS BASED OFF OF THE SITUATION THAT THAT PARTICULAR PERSON MIGHT BE IN. WE'LL MAKE SURE TO GO BACK AND TOUCH BASE WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED WITH BACK IN MARCH AND THAT WE'RE BRINGING SOMETHING IN ON THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SIDE OF IT, AND THE TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. WE ARE RIGHT AT 7:00, AND WE'RE GOING TO START O RULAR MEETING. WE WILL START WITH PRELIMINARY ISSUES AND OUR SPECIAL PRELIMINARY ITEM, SHORT-TERM RENTAL REPORT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT IS 7:00, AND WE WILL START OUR REGULAR MEETING. I NOW DECLARE THAT PLANO CITY COUNCIL HAS RECONVENED, THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT. WE'LL BEGIN TONIGHT'S REGULAR pD BY MINISTER OF EDUCATION WITH HUNTERS GLEN BAPTIST CHURCH, TERI PITTMAN, AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND TEXAS PLEDGE LED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPLORER POST 9-1-1. PLEASE RISE >> THANK YOU FOR INVITING MEMBERS OF THE FAITH COMMUNITY TO BE PART OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. LET'S PRAY TOGETHER. FATHER, THANK YOU FOR THIS GATHERING TONIGHT. I THANK YOU THAT WE ARE ABLE TO GATHER HERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW WE CAN SERVE AND HONOR ONE ANOTHER. I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THESE MEN AND WOMEN WISDOM AND COURAGE AND DISCERNMENT AS THEY MAKE DECISIONS. I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GUARD OUR WORDS AND THAT WE WOULD HONOR ONE ANOTHER AND HONOR YOU, FATHER, IN THIS MEETING. AGAIN, WE THANK YOU FOR THE CITY, OUR STATE, AND FOR THE PRIVILEGE WE HAVE OF LIVING HERE. WE PRAY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS AMEN. (PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE) (TEXAS PLEDGE). >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU.

HE IS ACTUALLY BUSY AT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE AT THE MOMENT, AND SO I'M AVAILABLE, AND I'M THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF AT, E BUILDING OFFICIAL ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS. I'M BRETT KING, BUILDING OFFICIAL OF THE CITY OF CAROLTON. WE GET TO SEE AS WE DRIVE THROUGH YOUR CITY ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON HERE FROM YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT. WE SEE IT. WE'RE IN THE SAME BUSINESS. WE KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN IT'S GOOD AND WHEN IT'S NOT. Y'ALL ARE DOING A GREAT JOB HERE. JUST A FEW THINGS SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS. YOU SAW THE ACCREDITATION. THEY WERE THE FIRST DEPARTMENT ACCREDITED BY AACE, AND THEY HAVE QUARTERLY PROPERTY MAINTENANCE MEETINGSND APARTMENT MAINTENANCE MEETINGS SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP UP WITH WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE. IF YOU GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S EXPECTED, THEY'LL DO A GOOD JOB OF MEETING THOSE EXPECTATIONS. VERY GOOD THING FOR THEM. THESE ARE THE NO PEOPLE AND TELLING YOU WHAT YOU ARE DOING WRONG. THEY'RE STILL GETTING THAT RATING FROM YOUR CITIZENS. THAT'S A GREAT THING AND HAVE A VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE RATE OF 96 THAT MEANS ONLY 4ERS APPROXIME OF THE PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING WHAT YOU DO. THAT'S A FANTASTIC THING TO HEAR. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS. (APP (APPLAUSE) >> THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS TO ALLOW -- ON ITEMS OF INTEREST OR CONCERN AND NOT ON ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE CURRENT AGENDA. THE COUNCIL MAY NOT DISCUSS THESE ITEMS, BUT MAY RESPOND WITH FACTUAL OR POLICY INFORMATION. THE COUNCIL MAY CHOOSE TO PLACE THE ITEM ON A FUTURE AGENDA. JUST A A REMINDER, PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE MICROPHONE OR YELL INTO THE MICROPHONE. THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS TONIGHT. THE FIRST ONE IS DILLON RAFFERTY. HELLO, COUNCIL. HELLO, MAYOR MUNS AND EVERYONE. THIS WEEK LET ME JUST SAY I'M A PROUD PLANO RESIDENT, AND I AM THE FOUNDER OF THE NORTH TEXAS DISABILITY CHAMBER. THAT'S WHY IMAUTO HERE TODAY. THIS WEEK WE'RE RECOGNIZING NATIONAL DISABILTY VOTING RIGHTS WEEK, AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING OUR FIRST EVENT. YOU WANT TO RECOGNIZE DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MARIA TU WHO WILL SPEING TORROW ON THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. PRIOR TO THAT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE HONORING COUNCIL MEMBER RICK GRADE WHERE I WITH THE FIRST EVER RICHARD RICK GRADY PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD FOR HIS SIGNIFICANT SACRIFICE AND SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR COMMUNITY >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS GREGORY Z ZI ZINKOWITZ. GREGORY. WE WILL MOVE ON TO SHARON OVE OVERALL. >> THE YUCK FACTOR OF CIGARETTE SMOKE. EVERY TIME I ASK A COUNCIL MEMBER SAY IT BOTHERS ME TOO BUT ... WHY ARE WE PUTTING UP WITH IT? SMOKE THAT COMPRISES A AEROSOL HAS THOUSANDS OF CHEMICAL COMPONENTS, INCLUDING MANY WELL-CHARACTERIZED TOXINS AND CARCINOGENS. MANY OF THESE COMPENTSRE I GAS PHASE, AND OTHERS ARE COMPONENTS OF THE PARTICLES. IT IS DRAWN INTO THE MOUTH AND LUNGS FOR MUCOUS AND SALIVA AND GERMS AND VIRUSES CAN ATTACH TO THE SOLID AND LIQUID PARTICLES AND GASES SO WHEN IT IS EXHALED AND THE SMOKE LANDS ON YOU AND ENTERS YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR LUNGS, YOU NOT ONLY GET THE 7,000 CHEMICALS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE, BUT THE VIRUSES AND GERMS AND MUCOUS AND SALIVA OF THE PERSON WHO EXHALED THE SMOKE. SINCE SOME OF THE SMOKE IS GAS, IT WILL TRAVEL MUCH FARTHER THAN A NORMAL PERSON WHO SPEAKS. REMEMBER IN THE HEART OF THE PANDEMIC WHEN A CHOIR MEMBER SPREAD. THEY DID NOT SHAKE HANDS THAT NIGHT AND HAD SPREAD OUT, BUT THE CDC REALIZED LATER THAT IF YOU ARE SINGING THERE'S MORE VOLUME AND DEEP BREATHING THAN FROM TALKING. NOW, SMOKER PULLS IN THE SMOKE INTO HIS MOUTH AND LUNGS AND WITH A GREAT FORCE WILL EXHALE THE SMOKE. NOW, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE BREATHING IN. DO YOU REALLY WANT ALL OF THIS IN YOUR LUNGS AND IN YOUR MOUTH? WHEN A SMOKER IS SMOKING NEAR ME AS I LEAVE MY CAR TO ENTER A STORE AND I'M WALKING DOWN A SIDEWALK, AND I ASK THEM TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME BECAUSE I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO IT, IF THEY MOVE AWAY OR PUT IT OUT, I DO NOT SAY ANYTHING MORE TO THEM, BUT IF THEY CONTINUE, I TELL THEM I HOPE THEY GET THE ZYMA. I'M REFERRING TO EMPHYSEMA. I WANT THEM TO KNOW WHAT I GO THROUGH WHEN I GET A BRONCHIAL INFECTION WHEN I'M EXPOSED TO SECOND HAND CIGARETTE SMOKE. WHEN I GET A BRONCHIAL INFECTION FROM EXPOSURE, I HAVE I AHARD TIME BREATHIN IOUGHP MUCOUS, AND I HAVE A REALLY BAD SORE THROAT. WHILE EMPHYSEMA HE THIS MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES, BUT NOT ALWAYS A SORE THROAT, BUT WHEN THEY ARE HAVING AN ATTACK, THEY WILL NEED TO USE AN INHALER OR MACHINE TO BREAK UP THE MUCOUS IN THEIR LUNGS SO THEY CAN BREATHE. THIS IS A VERY SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH. TO PROTECT YOUR CITIZEN. PASS THE ORDINANCES THAT INSURE CIGARETTE SMOKE NEVER TOUCHES A PERSON WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT SPEAKER. >> MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER AND JACK CARR FOR MEETING ME ON SITE OF ONE OF MY FIELDS. I WENT AFTER THAT MEETING TO ANOTHER MEETING WITH SOME STATE REPS AND A SENATOR THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW REAL WELL, MS. ANGELA PAXTON. THE MEETING WAS VERY HELPFUL. SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE HER EARS. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU TALKED TO AN ATTORNEY GENERAL ON MY ISSUE OF THE RIGHT TO HAVE A SETBACK, THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE HIGH GRASS AND WEEDS NUISANCE. GUYS, THIS RIGHT HERE IS FROM 1982. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE CONCERNING AND SHOWING ME THAT THEY TALKED TO AN ATTORNEY GENERAL IN 1982. WHEN I SHOWED THIS TO EVERYBODY AT THE MEETING, THEY GIGGLED. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT Y'ALL HAD GIVEN ME, IT VERY CLEARLY SAYS NO NUISANCE ACT MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST AN AGRICULTURAL OPERATION THAT HAS LAWFULLY BEEN IN OPERATION FOR ONE YEAR OR MORE PRIOR TO THE DATE IN WHICH THE ACTION IS BROUGHT. IF THE CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES COMPLAINED OF AS CONSTITUTING THE BASIS FOR A NUISANCE ACTION ESTABLISHED DATE OF OPERATION. IT GOES ON TO SAY AGAIN RIGHT HERE, A PERSON WHO BRINGS IN A NUISANCE ACT FOR DAMAGES OR INJUKTIVE RELIEF AGAINST AN AING CULTURAL OPERATION THAT IT HAS EXISTED FOR ONE YEAR OR MORE PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THAT ACTION IS INSTITUTED OR WHO VIOLATES THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION IS LIABLE TO THE AGRICULTURAL OPERATOR FOR ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES OCCURRED IN DEFENSE OF THE ACTION, INCLUDING CROPS, FEES, COURT COSTS, TRAVEL, AND ATTORNEY FEES. GUYS, IT'S VERY CLEAR. Y'ALL GAVE THIS TO ME. DID NOBODY READ IT? YOU CAN'T ENFORCE A SETBACK. YOU CAN'T ENFORCE US TO MOW OUR CROPS. YOU CANNOT EVEN TELL US WHAT CROP WE CAN AND CANNOT GROW. YOU CAN'T FORCE US TO MOW THE COW PASTURES WHERE COWS GRAZE, WHICH I GOT TOLD HAVE TO DO. WE HAVE TO MOW 30 FEET INSIDE OF A FENCE. THERE'S NO JUSTICE OF THAT AT ALL. NOW, I DID THE MATH ON ONE FIELD IN PLANO. IT'S 8.6 ACRES. IF I DO YOUR SETBACK THAT YOU WANT, I LOSE A LITTLE OVER TWO ACRES OF LAND. NOT USABLE FOR AGRICULTURAL OPERATION. THAT'S A LOT OF FOOD FOR CATTLE. TO Y'ALL IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT THIS YEAR IN TEXAS ONE ROUND BAIL IS A LOT. ROUND BAILS WENT FROM $40 TO $180. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. THE OTHER THING I HAVE ON MY PHONE PICTURE AFTER PICTURE WHERE I DROVE AROUND PLANO ON THE NORTH SIDE. ALL OVER THE NORTH DALLAS TOLL ROAD. GRASS, SUN FLOWERS, 6 FEET TALL. STUFF IS NOT EVEN IN AGRICULTURE. CUSTER McDERMOTT AREA. DROVE OVER THERE. GRASS, SUN FLOWERS, 6, 7 FEET TALL. HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED. POLITICAL SIGNS.ALLING DOWN YOU NAME IT, IT'S ALL OVER PLANO. WHY ARE YOU JUST PICKING ON MY STUFF? ANSWER THAT QUESTION. PLEASE, LET'S DO AWAY WITH THIS SETBACK AND BE REASONABLE WITH IT, AND LET'S DO THE NEXT STEP THAT WE CAN DO AND HAVE A MEETING AGAIN. THANK YOU. (APPLAUSE) >> ESSENTIALLY, COUNCIL, I THINK WE'VE SENT OUT THIS AG OPINION BEFORE, AND IT'STILL GOOD LAW. WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT IN REFERENCE TO WHAT THE GENTLEMAN IS SAYING IS REFERENCING PRIVATE NUISANCE ACTIONS. IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THIS THAT THIS DOES NOT PREVENT THE GOVERNMENT FROM ENFORCING STATUTES OR ORDINANCES. >> MR. LOCKARD, COULD YOU CLARIFY THE CUSTER McDERMOTT ROAD. IS THAT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF CUSTER McDERMOTT? MAYBE. >> JUST OUT OF CLARIFICATION, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE CITY OF ALLEN. T TH CITY OF PLANO. >> IT IS. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE -- >> IT'S ON THE BORDERLINE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLARIFYING THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PLANO, NOT ANY OTHER CITY, IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I THINK WE JUST NEED TO JUST DOUBLE-CHECK ON THAT LOCATION. >> DEFINITELY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. ONING. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO ITEM FOUR ON THE PRELIMINARY OPEN MEETING. THIS IS A BRIEF UPDATE ONLY. A FULL REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE OCTOBER 10th PRELIMINARY OPEN MEETING. MARK. I KOW WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CITIZENS THAT HAVE VISITED THE CITY COUNCIL OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS TALKING ABOUT SHORT-TERM RENTALS. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO SECURE AN ATTORNEY TO BRIEF COUNCIL IN OPEN SESSION. IT LOOKS LIKE WE ACTUALLY HAVE THAT FINALLY LOCKED DOWN AND SECURE. I DO APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY IN BEING ABLE TO BRING THAT FORWARD FOR THAT PUBLIC DISCUSSION. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PROCESS THAN WE ANTICIPATED, BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE HAVING THAT AT THAT OCTOBER MEETING SO THE PUBLIC CAN HEAR THE ADVICE BASED UPON SOME CASES THAT I KNOW HAVE COME UP LOCALLY THAT HAVE BEEN A DISCUSSION TOPIC. WITH THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE MORE TO ADD AT THIS TIME. WE CONTINUE TO GATHER INFORMATION AND ON THOSE CASES THAT WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES, WE'VE BEEN USING THROUGH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTACTS WITH AIRBNB AND VRBO TO REPORT . TH'S ALL I HAVE TO REPORT AT THIS TIME. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE SPEAKERS? >> WE DO. WE HAVE SIX. THE FIRST SPEAKER IS BILL BAKER. >> MAYOR MUNS, CITY COUNCIL MEM MEMBERS, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS BILL BAKER. I MOVED HERE IN 1981. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO REPRESENT THE PLANO, TEXAS, NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION AND TO VOICE MY CONCERNS ABOUT SHORT-TERM RENTALS. WE HAVE ONE ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE WE LIVE. WE FIRST BECAME AWARE OF IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN OUR NEIGHBOR WITNESSED A NOISY POOL PARTY AND FOUL LANGUAGE AT 2:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING. THAT WAS THREE WEEKS AGO. HIS HOME IS NEXT DOOR TO THE RENTAL. TO USE HIS OWN WORDS, MY YOUNG SON HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZED. I DON'T SEE HIM OR HIS SON IN THE FRONT YARD ANYMORE PLAYING. HE HAS ADDED AN 8-FOOT FENCE FROM HIS ALLEY TO THE FRONT OF HIS YARD FOR SECURITY AND TO PROVIDE A SOUND BARRIER. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS A PLATINUM LEVEL RATED NEIGHBORHOOD. WE CHOSE TO MOVE THERE FROM FRISCO BECAUSE NEIGHBORS ARE ACTIVE, FRIENDLY, AND DIVERSE, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS QUIET. IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD OF EXCELLENCE. SHORT-TERM RENTALS PROVIDE NO BENEFIT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY WILL ONLY LOWER THE VALUE OF MY PROPERTY AND IMPAIR THE QUALITY OF MY FINE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE CITY HAD AN ORDINANCE CONTROLLING OR PROHIBITING SHORT-TERM RENTALS, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN ENFORCED. I DO NOT WANT THESE RENTALS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DON'T EITHER. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. (APPLAUSE) >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS BILL FRA FRANCE. >> MAYOR MUNS, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, GOOD EVENING. REPLY NAME IS BILL FRANCE, AND TONIGHT I REPRESENT PLANO, TEXAS, NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION. WE ARE HERE ONCE AGAIN TO RESPECTFULLY PROTEST THE OPERATION OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN OUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. AT THIS TIME I ASK ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS TO PLEASE STAND. IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO LIVE IN PLANO, BUT THAT PRIVILEGE COMES WITH BOTH RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. TWO OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE RESPECT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS AND RESPECT FOR THE LAW. EVERY TYPE OF TRANSIENT COMMERCIAL LODGING LISTED IN OUR EXISTING ZONING LAW IS PRIBITED. HOTELS, MOTELS, BOARDING HOUSES, BED AND BREAKFASTS, ROOMING HOUSES, LODGES, AND CLUBS ARE ALL PROHIBITED. THIS BEGS AN OBVIOUS QUESTION. WHY WOULD OUR CITY FOUNDERS GO TO THE TROUBLE TO LIST AND BAN EVERY TYPE OF THESE BUSINESSES FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. THEY DID NOT WANT TRANSIENT LODGING IN PLANO NEIGHBORHOODS. WHY? IT DISRUPTS THE PEACE, THE TRANQUILITY, AND THE WHOLESOME COMMUNAL FABRIC OF A NEIGHBORHOOD. YET, LESS THAN A HALF A MILE FROM MY HOME IS AN EXTENDED STAY HOTEL. IT OPERATES LAWFULLY AND HAS FOR YEARS WITHOUT OBJECTION. WHY IS IT THAT OUR CITIZENS HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT LAWFULLY RUN LODGING BUSINESS? AGAIN, THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. BECAUSE IT IS NOT OPERATING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. OUR ZONING LAWS ARE NOT ARTRARY. THEY A A CLEAR CONFIRMATION OF THE DESIRES AND DECISIONS OUR LEADERS MADE TO OUTLAW THESE BUSINESSES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT IS FOR THAT VERY SAME REASON WE DO NOT ALLOW PAWN SHOPS OR TATTOO PARLORS OR TACO STANDS. WHAT HAS BECOME OF OUR CITY IF WE CANNOT ENFORCE THESE REASONABLE AND LONG-STANDING RULES? TONIGHT WE ASK EACH OF YOU AS OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVESO STAND WITH US TOGETHER AND COMMIT UNEQUIVOCALLY TO ENFORCE THESE RESTRICTIONS AND TO RESTORE THE WELL-BEING, SAFETY, AND SECURITY OF OUR NEIGHBORS FOR THE FAMILIES AND RESIDENTS OF PLANO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND DEDICATED SERVICE TO OUR FINE CITY. (APP (APPLAUSE). T >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JOHN ARBUCKLE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MUNS AND CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JOHN ARBUCKLE, AND I RECENTLY MOVED HERE ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, AND I LOVE THE TOWN. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE. ^ I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU TONIGHT. AS I SAID, I MOVED TO PLANO ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO. I CHOSE THIS COMMUNITY FOR ITS ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS, GOOD SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY. I RESEARCHED THE CITY PRIOR TO MOVING HERE AND FOUND IT TO BE EXTREMELY WELL-RUNHI NOW I'M GETTING FIRSTHAND TASTE OF THIS. YOU GUYS DO A GOOD JOB. MY DESIRE WAS TO FIND A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE NEIGHBORS FELT A BOND WITH EACH OTHER AND IT WAS A SHARED SENSE OF COMMUNITY. I THINK I VIEWED OVER 50 HOMES IN MY SEARCH. MY REALTOR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOREST CREEK ESTATES BECAUSE OF THE OVERALL GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL. SHE WAS RIGHT. WHEN I DROVE DOWN LEWIS STREET FOR THE FIRST TIME, I NEIGHBORHOOD WAS IN SUCH HIGH DEMAND. I HAD TO PAY SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER ASKING, BUT I KNEW I WAS MAKING A GOOD INVESTMENT. WHEN I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT AN AIRBNB WAS OPERATING ONE BLOCK OVER, I QUESTIONED THE LEGALITY BASED ON MY BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT ZONING RESTRICTIONS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT, INDEED, IT IS NOT ALLOWABLE TO HAVE SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AS I HAVE BECOME MORE ENLIGHTENED ON THE SUBJECT, I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT SOME HAVE SAID THAT IT IS EXISTING RULES . THIS IS HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND AS I HAVE RECEIVED TWO LETTERS IN THE RECENT MONTHS STATING THAT MY TREES ON THE SIDEWALK ARE TOO LOW, SO I HAD TO HAVE THEM TRIMMED, AND I GOT A THIRD LETTER STATING THAT THEY WERE IN COMPLIANCE. I FELT GOOD ABOUT THAT, BUT I WAS KIND OF TAKEN ABACK THINKING HOW CAN IT NOT BE ENFORCEABLE? I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, HOW CAN A CITY KEEP TRACK OF THE HEIGHT OF MY TREES OVER A SIDEWALK BUT CAN'T ALLOW OR CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MANAGE A SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROBLEM WHEN IT'S RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD? THE TEAM THAT WROTE THESE LAWS AND ZONING RESTRICTIONS RECOGNIZED A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IS MEANT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY LIVING VOID OF LATE NIGHT PARTIES OF RANDOM STRANGERS. WE HAVE CHILDREN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE CHOOSE THIS PLACE BECAUSE WE WANT THEM TO BE IN A SAFE COMMUNITY ALLOWING SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ERODES THE VERY FABRIC OF WHAT A COMMUNITY IS MADE UP. >> 20 SECONDS. >> PLEASE DO WHAT YOU ARE ELECTED DO AND UPHOLD THE LAWS THAT EXIST FOR US, YOUR PROUD PLANO CITIZENS. THANK YOU. (APPLAUSE) >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS DAVID SC SCHWARTEWHO WIL JOIN US VIA ZOOM. MR. SCHWARTE, YOU'LL NEED TO TURN ON YOUR VIDEO AND UNMUTE. THANK YOU. >> YEAH. WELL, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME ADDRESS YOU TONIGHT. I'M DAVID SCHWARTE AND THE STATEDWIDE TEXAS NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION. I'M A RETIRED CORPORATE ATTORNEY WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. THE TEXAS NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION FULLY SUPPORTS THE URGENT CALL BY YOUR RESIDENTS WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD TONIGHT AND YOU HAVE HEA BEFORE THAT YOU TAKE ACTION NOW WITH THESE SHORT-TERM RENTALS FROM WRECKING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. WE WORK WITH CITIES ACROSS THE STATE. EVERY CITY THAT HAS MADE THE MISTAKE OF ALLOWING SHORT-TERM RENTALS TO CREEP INTO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS HAS FOUND IT HAS A REAL MESS ON ITS HANDS AND ONE THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CLEAN UP. ON THE OTHER HAND, HERE IN NORTH TEXAS CITIES LIKE ARLINGTON, SOUTH LAKE, GRAPEVINE, AND HERST HAVE LISTENED TO THEIR RESIDENTS AND TAKEN ACTION BY FORBIDNG SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN ALL PARTS OF THE CITY. THOSE ORDINANCES REMAIN IN EFFECT TODAY, AND I CAN TELL YOU HERE IN ARLINGTON WE ENFORCE THAT ORDINANCE, AND WE DO SO VIGOROUSLY. MY CENTRAL POINT TO YOU IS THIS: DO NOT FALL FOR ARGUMENTS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO LIMIT WHERE SHORT-TERM RENTALS CAN OPERATE AND DO NOT FALL FOR THE ARGUMENT THAT YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THERE'S ABSOLUTE LEGAL CERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT A CITY CAN DO BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION. UNDER THE LEGAL PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED BY THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT IN 1971, IF YOU ADOPT A ZONING ORDINANCE AND HAVE A REASONABLE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD, IT IS PRESUMED VALID, AND THE PARTIES OPPOSING IT HAVE A HEAVY BURDEN. THEY HAVE TO SHOW THAT IT IS ARBITRARY OR UNREASONABLE. I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO SOME OF THE TESTIMONY, AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT YOU HAVE AN ABUNDANT RECORD DOCUMENTING THE PROBLEMS THAT SHORT-TERM RENTALS ARE ALREADY CREATING IN YOUR TOWN, AND, THEREFORE, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH IT. I CAN TELL YOU THERE HAS BEEN NO TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS THAT HAS EVER DECIDED THAT A ZONING ORDINANCEORBIDDING NE SHORT-TERM RENTALS WAS INVALID. THE TEXAS COURT HAS NOT ISSUED SUCH AN OPINION EITHER. OF COURSE, I HAVE HEARD CLAIMS THAT AN OPINION BY THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL BLOCKS CITIES FROM DEALING WITH SHORT-TERM RENTALS BY WAY OF ZONING ORDINANCES, BUT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS DOES NOT ESTABLISH LEGAL PRECEDENCE. THE COURTS DO. IN OUR ARLINGTON CASE THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WEIGHED IN AGAINST ENFORCEMENT OF OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, AND THE COURT OF APPEALS RIGHTLY DISREGARDED HIS ADVICE. OUR ORDINANCE HERE IN ARLINGTON HAS BEEN UPHELD BY THE TRIAL COURT, COU OF APPEALS, AND ON JANUARY 28th THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT DISMISSED AN APPEAL FROM THE DECISION UPHOLDING OUR ORDINANCE AND OUR ORDINANCE -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> EXCEPT FOR AN AREA AROUND THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, FAILING TO ACT COMES AT A STEEP PRICE. AS THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE FOUNT U FOUND, ALLOWING SHORT-TERM RENTALS TO ESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS MAY CREATE A REAL CLAIM THAT THEY MUST BE GRANDFATHERE IFHAT HAPPENS, YOU WILL HAVE HUNDREDS OF ANGRY CITIZENS. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. (APP (APPLAUSE). >> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MICHELLE AD ADAMS. >> ALSO, A LONG-TIME PLANO MEMBER -- OR RESIDENT. I MOVED HERE IN 1981 WHEN WE WEREBOUT 80,000. BACK THEN YOU THREW A PARTY, YOU MAYBE WENT TO THE COUNTRY PLACE CLUBHOUSE OR YOUR PARENTS RENTED THE HARVEY HOTEL OR HOLIDAY INN YOUR PARENTS WERE INVOLVED AND - BECAUSE THEY HAD TO BE. TODAY THAT SITUATION HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH EXCEPT FOR THOSE SHORT-TERM RENTALS. I MOVED TO FOREST CREEK ESTATES, WELL REPRESENTED UP HERE, 24 YEARS AGO. ONE DAY BEFORE MY OLDEST SON WAS BORN. I LEARNED LOT OVERHOSE YEARS ON HOW TO THROW A PARTY IN PLANO TEXAS. MY YOUNGEST SON IS 17, AND HE IS A SENIOR AT PLANO SENIOR HIGH. IT'S HOMECOMING IN TWO WEEKS. WHO WILL HAVE THE PARTY? WHO WILL THROW THE PARTY? WELL, NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS ALLOW THAT PARTY TO BE THROWN IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE'S NOT MY NEIGHBORS TEXTING ME THAT THERE'S A PARTY AT MY HOUSE. THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THOSE SITUATIONS. IT JUST TAKES ONE PARENT TO SIGN IN UNDER THAT AIRBNB ANDLLOW THAT PARTY TO HAPPEN. I KNOW THAT HAPPENS. FOR GRADUATION FOR MY OLDEST SON, A PARENT DID EXACTLY THAT, AND I WENT AND WE FOLLOWED OUR SON TO THAT LOCATION AND SAT OUTSIDE BECAUSE WE WERE SO NERVOUS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THAT SITUATION. OVER THE YEARS SOME OF THE MANAGEMENT WILL BREAK UP A PARTY, BUT IF THERE'S NOT SOMEBODY WHO RESIDES CLOSE BY WHO OWNS THAT PROPERTY, IT CONTINUES, AND THERE IS NO NEIGHBORHOOD ACCOUNTABILITY. SO MY NEIGHBORS KNOW WHEN I THROW A PARTY FOR MY SON. IT'S USUALLY IN DECEMBER BECAUSE I HAVE TWO OF MY BOYS' BIRTHDAYS. THAT'S ONE NIGHT, AND THEY WILL CALL ME IF MY MUSIC IS TOO LOUD OR IF SOMETHING HAS GONE ASTRAY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO THINK ABOUT IF YOUR KIDS ARE THIS AGE. IT ALSO PUTS YOU AS A PARENT IN AN AWKWARD SITUATION BECAUSE NOW IT'S NOT AT A PARENTS' HOUSE. IT'S NOT AT A HOTEL. IT'S SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW. MY YOUNG ADULT, 24, HE IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH AIRBNBs AND HOW TO GET ONE. YOU WOULD THINK $700 A NIGHT, WHICH IS THE GOING RATE FOR THE ONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT'S KIND OF STEEP, RIGHT? BUT DIVIDE THAT BY TEN. THEY'RE GOING TO STICK THEIR AIR MATTRESSES IN THERE, AND THEY'VE GOT IT FIGURED OUT. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY MY SON IS GUILTY, BUT HE IS ALLOWED TO DO THAT. THEY'RE JUST NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW THE PARTY. WHO IS GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE? I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THESE SITUATIONS. A NEIGHBORHOOD HOLDS US ACCOUNTABLE. NOT A SHORT-TERM RENTAL. THANK YOU. (APPLAUSE) >> THE LAST SPEAKER IS NELSON LO LOCK. >> I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SMILING LATELY. EVERYBODY SAYS I'M INTIMIDATING, SO I'M SORRY IF I AM. ANYWAY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MUNS AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANO CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NELSON LOCK. I'M A HOMEOWNER IN PRESTON MEADOW NORTH, AND I'M PRESENTLY IN LITIGATION WITH A NON-RESIDENT NEIGHBOR WHO CONVERTED A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS INTO A MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL AT CLOSING. DURING DISCOVERY, I WAS TOLD BY COUNSEL THAT THE DEFENDANTS DID NOT USE THE REAL PROPERTY FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE TO WHICH I RESPONDED A COMMERCIAL PURPOSE INCLUDES THE USE OF REAL PROPERTY FOR LEASE OR RENT. THAT IS NOT RESIDENTIAL. THAT'S COMMERCIAL. IF PURCHASED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES, RENTING TO A SINGLE FAMILY WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IF PURCHASED AND IMMEDIATELY RENTED MULTIPLE UNRELATED TENANTS, CHANGING THE PROPERTY USE, THAT WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. THAT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL PURPOSE. NOW WE GET TO THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. IF A HOMEOWNER RENTS OUT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS TO MULTIPLE UNRELATED TENANTS LENDERS PERMISSION, CHANGING THE PROPERTY'S USE, IS THIS A RED FLAG FOR POTENTIAL MISREPRESENTATION TO THE LENDER? THE CFPB CONSIDERS MISREPRESENTATION TO BE A FORM OF MORTGAGE FRAUD. AS A MORTGAGE INDUSTRY EXPERT WITNESS, SO DO I. WHY DO I SAY THAT? BECAUSE MOST RESIDENTIAL MORTGAS USE UNIFORM INSTRUMENTS. FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC CREATED THOSE INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS, IF YOU WILL, TO STANDARDIZE CLAUSES AND PROVIDE UNIFORM TO THE SECONDARY MARKET. THAT'S HOW MORTGAGE MONEY BECOMES AVAILABLE. BARBERS MAKE REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING NOT CHANGING THE USE OF THE PROPERT OR NOT ^ VIOLATING LOCAL ORDER NANTZS. IN THE TEXAS SINGLE FAMILY INSTRUMENT CALLED THE DEED OF TRUST, PARAGRAPH 8 MAKES IT A DEFAULT EVENT IF THE BORROWER MISLEADS OR GIVES INACCURATE INFORMATION TO THE LEARNED. BUYERS ALSO SIGN CERTAIN RIDERS. IF A MULTI-STATE UNIFORM INSTRUMENT CALLED THE ONE TO UR FILY RIDER, PARAGRAPH B MAKES IT A DEFAULT EVENT IF THE BORROWER CHANGES THE USE OF THE PROPERTY WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN LENDER CONSENT. IT IS ALSO A DEFAULT IF THE BORROWER DOES NOT COMPLY. THIS IS IMPORTANT. WITH ANY ORDINANCES OR REGULATIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL BODY APPLICABLE TO THE PROPERTY. THIS LOGICALLY MEANS FEDERAL AGENCIES EXPECT PLANO TO ENFORCE ITS REGULATIONS. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND REQUEST AN OPINION FROM FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC. I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS. OUR DESIRED SOLUTION WOULD BE THAT THE CITY OF PNONFORCE ITS EXISTING REGULATIONS. TO NOT DO SO IS CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT. TO NOT DO SO IS TO VIOLATE THE PROMISES PLANO MADE TO US WHEN WE RELIED ON PLANO REGULATIONS AND PURCHASED OUR HOMES. WE HAVE RIGHTS AS HOMEOWNERS. WE DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS STR SITUATION JUST BECAUSE THE CITY CHOOSES TO ALLOW THIS. IF PLANO WILL NOT ENFORCE ITS OWN REGULATIONS, SAYS CONSIDER LITIGATION. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. (APP (APPLAUSE). >> MAYOR MUNS: OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM FIVE, CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDAS.

RFB NUMBER 2022473-AC FOR A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH FOUR AUTOMATIC ONE-YEAR RENEWALS FOR TEMPORARY LABOR WASTE SERVICES COLLECTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE SERVICES TO A & Z STAFFING SOLUTIONS LLC, A & ASSOCIATES ASSOCIATED AND JOHNSTON TEMPORARY SERVICES DEPOSITION BUSINESS AS LABOR SOURCE OF TEXAS IN THE ESTIMATED ANNUAL AMOUNT OF $820,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO . AND THE SIT CITIZEN THAT WANTED SPEAK ON THIS WAS ROBERT EDWARDS. MR. EDWARDS. NOT HERE. OK OKAY. >> YOU'VE GOT THE MOTION IF YOU WANT IT. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I'LL SECOND THAT. I WANT TO SAY SINCE THIS WAS PULLED, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS PULLED FOR THE SAME REASON THAT I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT IT, BUT AS THE CITY MANAGER KNOWS, JUST ABOUT ANY TIME THERE IS A CONTRACT FOR OUTSIDE LABOR FOR SOMETHING THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO IN-HOUSE, I ASK THE STAFF FOR THE REASON THAT WE DECIDED THAT THIS WAS BETTER DONE THROUGH AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR RATHER THAN THROUGH HIRING IN-HOUSE EMPLOYEES. THAT IS WHY THIS IS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE AND MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO STRUCTURE THIS. THE RESPONSE WAS SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE SERVICES THAT RELY ON TEMPORARY LABOR OR SEASONAL IN NATURE WITH INCREASED NEEDS DURING HEAVY YARD DEBRIS TIMES AND INCREASED DEMAND FOR BAGGING OF PRODUCT WITH TEXAS PURE PRODUCTS, SOME POSITIONS DO UTILIZE TEMPORARY LABOR YEAR-ROUND. HOWEVER, THESE POSITIONS REQUIRE VERY LITTLE TRAINING AND HAVE HIGH TURNOVER. THE USE OF TEMPORARY LABOR IS STRATEGIC TO MAINTAIN SERVICE BY HAVING LABOR AVAILABLE WHILE ALSO AVOIDING THE HIGHER COST OF CONTINUOUS ONBOARDING AND ASSOCIATED FULL-TIME BENEFITS CONVERTING THESE TO FULL-TIME POSITIONS WOULD NOT BE THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF CITY RESOURCES. I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THAT THE STAFF HAD CONSIDERED THE COST OF BENEFITS OF IN-HOUSE VERSUS OUTSIDE LABOR. HAPPY TO SECOND THE DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM'S MOTION.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE A -- >> MAYOR MUNS: LET ME DO THIS REAL QUICK. >> OH, SORRY, MAYOR. >> MAYOR MUNS: LET ME CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CONFINE THE COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. >> THERE WE GO. GETTING THE PROCEDURE RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO THE ENTIRE CITY OF PLANO STAFF FOR THEIR CONSISTENT EXCELLENCE IN DELIVERING BOTH OUTSTANDING SERVICES, FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUTSTANDING VALUE OF THE PLANO COMMUNITY. I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TODAY THE ENTIRE BUDGET AND RESEARCH DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR TERRIFIC WORK PUTTING TOGETHER THIS BUDGET. BUDGET DIRECTOR KAREN RHODES-WHITLEY AND CASEY SCHRADER, CIP ADD MINISTRATOR JASON, AND RENETTE BLACK, AND CHRISTI ANDREWS, SENIOR BUDGET ANALYST DILLON SAUNDERSON, SENIOR BUDGET ANALYST JENNIFER MOREVANT, AND RAINY MEDERA, AND RENEE ON RENTEZ, AND I WANT TO THANK OUR CITY MANAGER FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND HIS LEADERSHIP AND THIS BUDGET PROCESS. THE CITY OF PLANO DELIVERS SUCH EXCELLENT VALUE THAT I'M GOING TO WRITE MY TAX CHECK WITH A SME ON MY FACE. I'M A HAPPY TAXPAYER. IT WOULD BE EASY TO CUT TAXES AND ALSO CUT SERVICES. IT WOULD NOT BE CHALLENGING TO DELIVER MEDIOCRITY ON A TIGHT BUDGET. IT WOULD BE EASY TO CHARGE AN ARM AND A LEG AND DELIVER GREAT SERVICES. WHO COULDN'T DO A GREAT JOB IF THEY HAD UNLIMITED RESOURCES? DELIVERING EXCELLENT SERVICES AND FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AT AN EXCELLENT PRICE IS VALUE, AND VALUE IS NOT EASY TO ACHIEVE. I'M CONVINCED THAT PLANO IS THE BEST VALUE AROUND, AND IT GOT EVEN BETTER THIS YEAR. THAT IS NOT EASY AT ALL, AND CONSTITUTES A TREMENDOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT ON THE PART OF EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR THEITY OF PLANO. TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEES ARE ACHIEVING, I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO CONSIDER A FEW STATISTICS AND KEEP IN MIND THE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH QUALITY OF CITY SERVICES THAT THE CITY OF PLANO IS ACHIEVING WHILE ATTAINING THESE FISCAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THE CITY OF PLANO WILL, AGAIN, BE ADOPTING THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. TO DO SO THIS YEAR WE'RE LOWERING THE TAX RATE FROM 44.65 CENTS TO 41.76 CENTS PER $100 OF VALUATION. THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INFLATION, WHICH AS WE ALL KNOW, HAS BEEN RAMPANT OVER THE PAST YEAR OR MORE. AS A RESULT, THIS BUDGET ACTUALLY CUTS TAXES WHEN ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION. IF YOU ADJUST THE AMOUNT THAT THE AVERAGE PLANO TAXPAYER PAID LAST YEAR BY THE AMOUNT OF INFLATION OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE AMOUNT THAT THE AVERAGE PLANO TAXPAYER WILL PAY THIS YEAR IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE AMOUNT WE PAID LAST YEAR WHEN ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION. I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE CITY'S OPERATING BUDGET IS BUDGETED TO GROW BY ONLY 1.9% FROM LAST YEAR AND COMBINED BUDGET RESOURCES BY ONLY 5.8% IN SPITE OF 8.5% CPI INFLATION OVER THE SAME PERIOD, WHICH HAS IMPACTED THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS FOR THE CITY LIKE IT HAS FOR ALL OF US. ALSO, IF WE EVEN LOOK OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS, USING THE LATEST NUMBERS FROM THE CPI INFLATION CALCULATOR THAT THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS MAINTAINS, INFLATION HAS BEEN 17.57% OVER THAT FOUR-YEAR PERIOD. OVER THAT SAME FOUR-YEAR PERIOD, THE BUDGETED AMOUNT FOR THE OPERATING BUDGET HAS GROWN BY ONLY 13.61% AND COMBINED BUDGET RESOURCES HAVE GROWN BY ONLY 14.42%. THAT MEANS THAT THE AMOUNT OF GROWTH IN BOTH THE OPERATING BUDGET AND TOTAL COMBINED BUDGET RESOURCES HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN INFLATION OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS. AS I MENTIONED, IT WOULD BE EASY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IF WE WERE CUTTING SERVICES. HOWEVER, NO SERVICES HAVE BEEN CUT, AND QUITE THE OPPOSITE. ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN HIRED, AND THE CITY OF PLANO'S EXCELLENT EMPLOYEES HAVE CONTINUED TO DELIVER EXCELLENT SERVICES AND EVEN IMPROVED ON THE ALREADY EXCELLENT SERVICES THE CITY OFFERS. I THINK THE CITY IS CONTINUING TO SET A NEW PERSONAL BEST EVERY YEAR. IN JUST THE PAST FEW YEARS PLANO HAS BEEN NAMED THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN TEXAS, PLANO HAS BEEN NAMED THE BEST PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY IN TEXAS AND THE FOURTH BEST IN AMERICA. PLANO HAS BEEN NAMED THE SAFEST CITY IN TEXAS AND THE THIRD SAFEST IN AMERICA DUE TO THE EXCELLENT EFFORTS OF PLANO FIRE SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS. CITY IN TEXAS FOR PEOPLE WITH - DISABILITIES. PLANO'S PARKS AND RECREATION RECEIVED THE HIGHEST PARK SCORE OF ANY LARGE TEXAS CITY FROM THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND AND PLANO'S LIBRARY SYSTEM HAS EARNED THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LIBRARY DIRECTORS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE FOR BEING IN THE TOP 10% OF LIBRARY SYSTEMS AMONG A NUMBER OF OTHER RECOGNITIONS. PLANO'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING OUR HERITAGE PRESERVATION EFFORTS HAVE EARNED SO MANY AWARDS I COULDN'T EVEN CHOOSE ONE TO HIGHLIGHT. WE HEARD THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AWARD EARLIER TONIGHT FOR THE GREAT WORK THEY'RE DOING, AND I COULD GO ON AND ON. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE IN THE PLANO COMMUNITY TO KNOW WHAT A ACCOMPLISHMENT IT IS TO DELIVER SUCH EXCELLENT CITY SERVICES IN SUCH A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER. CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEES MAKE THIS POSSIBLE BY THE WAY THAT THEY EMBODY THE CITY SERVE VALUES STEWARDSHIP ENGAGED RESPECTFUL, VISIONARY, AND EXCELLENCE. BANCES THE OUTSTANDING GET STEWARDSHIP DEMONSTRATED BY THE STAT IICS I MENTIONED WITH THE EXCLLENCE THAT IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEES. IT IS ALSO VISIONARY IN THE WAY THAT IT POSITIONS US FOR SUCCESS NOT JUST THIS YEAR BUT OVER THE LONG-TERM. IN LIGHT OF THIS EXCELLENCE ON THE PART OF OUR EXCEPTIONAL CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEES, I HAVE ONE REQUEST TO EVERYONE IN THE PLANO COMMUNITY. PLEASE SAY THANK YOU THE NEXT TIME THAT YOU SEE A CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEE. IT IS THEIR EXCELLENCE AND HARD WORK THAT MAKE EVERYTHING I'VE JUST DESCRIBED POSSIBLE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO END WITH A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR EXCELLENT CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEES. THANK YOU ALL. (APPLAUSE). >> MAYOR MUNS: THE OSCAR GOES TO ... >> TO THE CITY OF PLANO EMPLOYEES. >> MAYOR MUNS: DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. >> IT WILL ONLY BE A MINUTE. I THINK THERE'S A REASON WHY ON OUR CITY COUNCIL THERE IS ONE LAWYER THAT KNOWS ALL THE NUMBERS, AND THERE IS ONE LAWYER THAT KNOWS NO NUMBERS, AND I AM ONE OF THOSE THAT KNOWS NO NUMBERS. TH I BELIEVE TT ANY TE OF IS COMPLIMENTS TO OUR CITY STAFF REALLY IS TO ACCEPT AND ADOPT THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND WHEN WE DON'T ACCEPT OR ADOPT THEIR RECOMMENDATION, WE HAVE A CONVERSATION AND A DIALOGUE TO UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY THE RECOMMENDATION IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. I DON'T HAVE ANY FLOWERY SPEECHES FOR OUR STAFF, BUT I DO RESPECT AND I DO ACCEPT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T UNDERSTAND, AND EN WOULD ASK QUESTIONS. ALSO, I BELIEVE THAT THE EXCELLENCE OF OUR CITY DID NOT COME FROM RIGHT NOW THIS TIME AROUND OR EVEN THE PAST TWO YEARS. I THINK THE FOUND'S WAS LAID A LONG TIME AGO. IN THE 150 YEARS OF CITY OF PLANO, WE HAD GREAT LEADERS. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD GREAT MANAGERS WHO HIRE GREAT PEOPLE, AND WE HAVE GOOD CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO SUPPORTED ALL THE ACTIONS OF OUR STAFF, AND I THINK THAT'S THE REASON WHY THE CITY OF PLANO IS THE PLACE OF EXCELLENCE. IT'S BECAUSE WE KEEP BUILDING ON EXCELLENT FOUNDATIONS. WITH THAT SAID, I GET IT THAT THIS TIME AROUND WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE NO NEW REVENUE BUDGET, BUT JUST LIKE RICK GRADY HAS SAID OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WE HAVE GOT TO LOOK OUT FOR OUR FUTURE JUST LIKE OUR PREDECESSORS DID WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING OUT FOR US NOW. THE REASON WHY WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE NO NEW REVENUE RATE RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE THEY BUILT ENOUGH BUFFER FOR US TO DO SO THIS TIME AROUND. BUT WE CAN'T KEEP EATING OUR OWN. WE HAVE TO START BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE. WE HAVE TO BUILD FOR OUR FUTURE KIDS, OUR GRANDKIDS. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT MAY COME IN THE FUTURE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS EMPHASIZED AND THAT IS BROUGHT TO THE FOREFRONT. MA TIMES, AND HE SAID IT WITH SUCH ELOQUENCE. I JUST CAN'T DO SO. IN ANY EVENT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. >> I'M ONLY GOING TO BE 20 SECONDS. I DO THANK FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THE ENTIRE CITY OF PLANO STAFF. EVEN THOSE WHO DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH FORMULATING THIS BUDGET BECAUSE WE ARE THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE. WE CONTINUE TO BE THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE. COUNCILMAN RICIARDELLI IS RIGHT. IT'S DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN EXCELLENCE DOING THIS, AND I PRAY -- WE'VE HAD A VERY CHALLENGING SET OF YEARS, AND I PRAY THAT THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THIS CHALLENGING, LET ALONE GET MORE CHALLENGING. WHATEVER LIES AHEAD, I'M SURE WE'RE UP TO THE TASK. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY INVOLVED. >> MAYOR MUNS: THANK YOU. I THINK WE HAD A MOTION AND A SECOND. I CAN'T REMEMBER. WE DID. >> THIS IS JUST THE PUBLIC HEARING. YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE IS ON NUMBER FIVE. WE'RE GOOD. NOW WE'RE GOING TO VOTE.
