THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS TO ALLOW UP TO THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER WITH 30 TOTAL MINUTES ON ITEMS OF INTEREST OR CONCERN AND NOT 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 CH THE ITEM ON A FUTURE AGENDA. I DO HAVE TWO SPEAKERS THIS EVENING. THE FIRST ONE IS JAMES RUSSELL. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND OUR WONDERFUL COUNCIL. I'M COMING TO YOU TONIGHT AS AN OWNER OF A BUSINESS IN DOWNTOWN PLANO, PLANO BARBERS. I'VE BEEN A BARBER DOWNTOWN FOR 43 YEARS AND HAVE GIVEN MY WHOLE ADULT LIFE CONTRIBUTING TO THE CCESS OF DOWNTOWN. I DON'T COME HERE TO GRIPE TONIGHT BUT JUST TO ASK YOU FOR HELP. THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN WHICH CHANGES THE TRAFFIC PATTERN IN DOWNTOWN PLANO WILL SLOW THE TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN AVOIDANCE TO THE AREA. MANY YEARS AGO WE WIDENED THE AREA BETWEEN G AND DART. WHEN I SAY "WE," I MEAN THE MERCHANTS, THE CITY OF PLANO, THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTIES IN DOWNTOWN. WIDENED THE AREA TO TWO LANES EACH WAY TRAFFIC. AT THE TIME, THERE WERE MANY VACANCIES IN DOWNTOWN, AND DOWNTOWN WAS STRUGGLING. LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER ALL THE BUILDINGS WERE FULL AND DOWNTOWN RETURNED TO ITS VIBRANCY. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH MANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PARKING SPACES AWAY THROUGH THE YEARS. BUT AFTER COVID, AFTER LOSS OF PARKING, AND FINALLY THE COMPLETION OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES, WHICH SURROUND US ALL IN DOWNTOWN, DOWNTOWN IS A BUSTLING AND WONDERFUL PLACE TO DO BUSISS. ABOUT 95% OF OUR CUSTOMERS DRIVE TO DO BUSINESS IN DOWNTOWN, SLOWING THE TRAFFIC BY REDUCING EACH SIDE TO ONE LANE AND INSTALLING JUST 12 PARKING SPOTS ALONG THOSE WILL MAKE THE TRAFFIC BACK UP BEFORE AS IT DID MANY YEARS AGO. I ASK YOU AND A LOT OF BUSINESSES IN DOWNTOWN ASK YOU TO LEAVE THIS AREA AS IT IS. NOTIFY ALL THE PROPERTY AND BUSINESSOWNER THAT IS THIS IS HAPPENING, AND HAVE A MEETING TH T WHOLE GROUP TOGETHER. I LOVE MY CITY. WE JUST WANT OUR STREETS LEFT AS THEY ARE. WE HAD THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FOR TEXAS FEST THIS YEAR. STILL OUR SHOPS WERE FULL WITH ALL THE PEOPLE DOWN THERE, AND WE ARE ON THE NATIONAL DOWNTOWN REGISTRY. AND THE TOURIST DESTINATION. AND WE ARE PROUD OF THAT. I ASK YOU TO LOOK AT THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN ON 15th FROM G TO DART AND 14th FROM MUNICIPAL TO R, AND LEAVE THIS AREA AS IT IS. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF STRIFE WITH NO INPUT BEFORE. MOST OF US -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> -- ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE HDPA AND NOT APPRISED OF THE INFORMATION GIVEN FROM THE CITY TO THEM. WE'RE A DIVERSE GROUP AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. SO IN THE FUTURE, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AS A WHOLE, NOT A HALF. IN CLOSING, FOR ONCE, I COME TONIGHT TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR US. LEAVE IT AS IT IS. AND HOPEFULLY AS >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. >> CONNOR CHADDIK. >> HI, I'M CONNOR CHADDIK. GOOD? OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. THE SUBJECT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IS DOWNTOWN PLANO DOWNTOWN BUSINESS REDEVELOPMENT AREA AND CORRIDOR. PRESENTLY WITH WHAT I'M SEEING, I THINK WE'RE KIND OF PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. ON MARCH 31st, I WENT TO THE MEETING, AND I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE A MASTER PLAN OF THE NEW VISION FOR DOWNTOWN. AND THE EAST SIDE. THAT DID NOT OCCUR. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WAS ABOUT THE STREETS AND FUTURE DESIGNS FOR THE EAST SIDE. STREETS AND THOROUGHFARE SEEMS TO BE THE PRESENT FOCUS. HOWEVER, TOO MANY QUESTIONS GO UNANSWERED. AS AN EXAMPLE ON 15th STREET FROM MUNICIPAL TO R, MAKING DECISIONS WITHOUT KNOWING THE CHANGES TO 14th STREET WOULD BE IRRELEVANT. I KNOW THIS FIRSTHAND BECAUSE I'VE GOT A BUILDING AT MUNICIPAL AND 15th, AND IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT ON 1 STREET. AND IT GETS CONGESTED, AND PEOPLE DRIVE THROUGH MY PARKING LOT TO MAKE A RIGHT ON TO MUNICIPAL. I'M MAKING THESE STATEMENTS BECAUSE THIS IS LOGIC, AND I'VE SEEN IT. TWO OTHER THINGS CONCERN ME. ONE IS A MISNOMER REGARDING COMMUNITY INPUT. AND THIS WAS A DOCUMENT THAT CAME OUT FROM LIZ TURCO REGARDING THE PARKS PLAN. AND I SENT THIS OUT TO A NUMBER OF YOU COUNCILMEMBERS. AND MARK, I THINK YOU WERE GONE AT THE TIME. BUT WHAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT IN THIS DOCUMENTATION IS SOMETHING THAT MR. RUSSELL SAID. SENDING STUFF TO HDPA, OKAY, AND THE PID, HDPA IS A MERCHANTS MA. SOME OF THIS INFORMATION ISN'T DISSEMINATED TO ITS MEMBERS OR TO THE DOWNTOWN OWNERS. AND WHEN I SEE, AS IN MS. TURCO'S DOCUMENT, WELL, WE SENT THIS OUT FOR COMMUNITY INPUT. WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, IT ISN'T DISSEMINATED. AND I'VE BEEN ON BOTH BOARDS. SO I KNOW THIS IS TRUE STATEMENTS. SO I'M SAYING THIS TO MAKE YOU ALL AWARE THAT WHEN YOU SEE THIS -- >> 20 SECONDS. >> -- BE AWARE OF IT. THE OTHER THING, TOO, IS I'VE ALSO HEARD IN THE PAST THAT IT'S JUST ME BRINGING THIS AWARENESS TO COUNCIL. I GOT THIS FROM MYRNA LYNCH THANKING ME FOR THIS. SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE INFORMATION. I'VE HAD HAD THE SAME THING FROM RON PIERCE AND BONNIE SHEA. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF DISSEMINATING THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE I'M INVESTED IN HERE LIKE YOU ALL ARE AND THE OTHER OWNERS AND MERCHANTS. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU, MR. CHADDIK. >> MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. AS YOUR NEWLY APPOINTED DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM IN 2023, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION, MY GRATITUDE, AND HOW HONORED AND PROUD I AM THAT YOU APPOINTED ME AGAIN AS THE DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM FOR THE CITY OF PLANO. FOR THE ASIAN COMMUNITY, CONSISTING OF 22% OF OUR CITY POPULATION OF NEARLY 290,000 PEOPLE, I BELIEVE THE ASIAN COMMUNITY ALSO RECOGNIZES THAT, AND THEY'RE ALSO VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT ONE OF THEIR COUNCILMEMBERS ARE BEING APPOINTED AGAIN. WITH THAT SAID, I HAVE MADE SOME GRIPES AND COMPLAINTS THAT I'M THE DESIGNATED ASIAN. BUT MAYOR, FOR THE PAST TWO ARS, YOU HAVE PROVED ME WRONG. IN ADDITION TO ALL JOHN MUNS' MAYORAL DUTIES THAT HE'S DONE, HE HAS ATTENDED MULTIPLE -- AND I MEAN MULTIPLE EVENTS THAT CONCERNS ASIANS. CELEBRATION OF RAMADAN, INDIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ASIAN PACIFIC HERITAGE CELEBRATION, LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION. AND BY THE WAY, LAST YEAR'S LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION CONSISTED OF 15 DIFFERENT EVENTS IN THREE WEEKS. AND SO THE MAYOR ATTENDED AT LEAST 1/3 OF THAT. OF COURSE, I ATTENDED 15. [ LAUGHTER ] BUT MOST RECENTLY, THOUGH, OUR MAYOR FOR THE SAKE OF CITY OF PLANO AND THE PLANO'S INVESTMENT, TRAVELED TO JAPAN AND KOREA TO SEAL SOME BUSINESS DEAL. THIS IS NOT A PLEASURE TRIP. THIS IS TO SEAL THE DEAL THAT IS REQUIRED BY MANY OF THE ASIAN BUSINESSES AND FOR THE PERSONAL TOUCH, REALLY DID AFFECT A LOT OF THE BUSINESS THAT -- AND BASICALLY SEALING THE DEAL SO THAT THEY WILL BE MOVING TO PLANO AND INCREASING OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS. SO I WANTED TO SAY THAT, MAYOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION. YOU HAVE OUTDONE ME IN MANY RESPECT, AND I BELIEVE THAT AS THE YEAR GOES ON, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO OUTDO ME. YOU'LL BE THE REAL ASIAN. [ LAUGHTER ] THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET'S MOVE TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> THE CONSENT AGENDA. THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION AND CONTAINS TYPICALLY NONCONTROVERSIAL. ITEMS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THIS AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION BY A COUNCIL MEMBER, THE CITY MANAGER OR ANY CITIZEN. THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL ESTABLISH TIME LIMITS BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKER REQUESTS. >> Mayor Muns: DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA? >> Ricciardelli: MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA OTHER THAN ITEMS N AND O. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. SECOND? >> SECOND. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM N, AS IN NANCY, AND O. PLEASE VOTE. HOW DO YOU VOTE, MAYOR PROTEM? >> YES. >> Mayor Muns: OKAY. >> AND I APOLOGIZE, MR. HORNE, WE DIDN'T GET YOU CORRECTED. BUT HE WAS HERE. >> GRADY IS STILL HERE. >> THE GHOST OF GRADY IS STILL HERE. [ LAUGHTER ] MOTION PASSES 8-0. AND LET'S LOOK AT -- LET'S START WITH ITEM N. >> ITEM N. TO AUTHORIZE AND ESTABLISH PRECEDENT IN HARMONY WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DABILIES T OF 1990; CREATING A STDARD FOR CLOSED CAPTIONING FOR PUBLIC FACING TELEVISIONS AT CITY FACILITIES; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> MAYOR AND KOUN COUNCIL, I'M PLEASED TO BRING THIS BEFORE YOU, REALLY ENSHRINING A PRACTICE THE CITY ALREADY DOES AND TAKES. IT WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY A MEMBER OF THE PLANO CITIZENRY THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR ALL OF OUR PUBLIC-FACING SCREENS, TVs, ET CETERA, TO HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONING INCLUDED. I THINK WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, BUT WE'RE PLEASED TO BRING THAT BEFORE Y'ALL. >> Mayor Muns: THANKS, ANDREW. CAN WE HEAR FROM THE SPEAKERS? >> WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS. THE p >> HOWDY, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MERRILL EVANS. I'VE BEEN A PROUD CITIZEN OF PLANO SINCE 1996. [ LAUGHTER ] ONE DAY I WENT TO DINNER ON THE BOARDWALK. THERE WERE TVs IN THE RESTAURANT, BUT THE ONE WE WERE IN DID NOT HAVE CAPTIONS ON WHILE THE OTHERS DID. SHORTLY AFTER, THE MAYOR OF BOSTON SIGNED AN ORDER INTO LAW TO HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONING ON. THE ORDINANCE APPLIED TO ANY PUBLIC-FACING TELEVISIONS, INCLUDING RESTAURANTS, BARS, GYMS, BANKS, AND MORE. WHEN I WALKED OUT AND KNOWING I CAN COUNT ON TVs TO HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONS. THANK GOODNESS. WORKING OUT WITH NO CAPTIONS IS BORING. IT'S TIME TO APPLY THIS TO OUR PUBLIC PLACES, ESPECIALLY SINCE MANY PEOPLE USE CLOSED CAPTIONS. IN FACT, A REPORT HAS FOUND 80% OF THE PEOPLE WHO USE CLOSED CAPTIONS ARE NOT DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING. WHEN I GO OUT IN PUBLIC, MOST OF THE SETTINGS MAKE IT HARD FOR MTOOIN CONVERSATIONS. I APPRECIATE IT WHEN THERE ARE TVs WITH CLOSED CAPTIONS THAT HELP ME TAKE A BREAK FROM THE STRESS OF FOLLOWING A CONVERSATION. THE BIGGEST BARRIER FOR ME AS A DEAF CITIZEN IS COMMUNICATION. WHILE I'M A GOOD LIP READER, LIP READERS ONLY CATCH ONE-THIRD OF WHAT IS SAID. FOR MORE DETAILS, YOU'LL HAVE TO REFER TO MY PLANO TEDEX PLANO TALK. HAVING CLOSED CAPTIONS IMPROVES COMMUNICATION AND INCLUSION. BESIDES, WE KNOW THE WEATHER CAN TURN ON A DIME. IF THERE WAS A STORM WARNING AND THE CAPTIONS AREN'T ON, WE COULD LOSE PRECIOUS TIME IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOMEONE TO TURN THEM ON. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CITY OF PLANO IS NUMBER 35 IN STUDIES IN THE U. FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES? AS THE INFOMERCIALS SAY, BUT THERE'S MORE! PLANO IS NUMBER ONE OUT OF ALL THE CITIES IN TEXAS. LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY AND MAKE PROGRESS IN CREATING A CULTURE OF INCLUSION IN OUR CITY OF EXCELLENCE TO RETAIN OUR WELL-EARNED NICKNAME. THANK YOU. AND I WILL LEAVE A COPY OF MY OWN CAPTIONS WITH T SECRETARY. AND THANK YOU TO THE CAPTIONERS OF THIS MEETING. >> DYLAN RAFTERY. >> GOOD EVENING. HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING TODAY? HELLO MAYOR. HELLO CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL. LAST WEEK, LAST THURSDAY, WE RECOGNIZED GLOBAL ACCESSIBILITY AWARENESS DAY. AND THAT DAY IS TO PROMOTE DIGITAL INCLUSION FOR EVERYONE. AND LAST THURSDAY OR LAST TUESDAY, WE PRESENTED -- MERRILL SPOKE IN FRONT OF A PANEL, IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE IN OUR NEIGHBORING CITY OF RICHARDSON. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE MERRILL BECAUSE OF HER ADVOCACY EXPERTS. SHE REACHED OUT TO MARK ISREALSON. BOTH OF THEM WORKED TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT EDED, AND IT IS NEEDED. AND THANK YOU GUYS BOTH FOR PRESENTING THIS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL. IT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR OUR CITY. THERE IS A LITTLE THING THAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE ACCESS AND INTENTIONAL INCLUSION FOR ALL. LIKE MERRILL SAID, WE'RE NUMBER ONE IN TEXAS. LET'S CONTINUE TO MAKE IT THAT WAY. LET'S CONTINUE TO MAKE CITY OF PLANO AS THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE. THANK YOU. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. SO I VE ITEM N THAT WE NEED TO VOTE FOR. DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> Mayor Muns: THANK YOU. I HAVE A MOTION -- >> YES. >> Mayor Muns: WHAT? OH >> SHE SAID YES. >> Mayor Muns: I'M HURRYING, KAYCI. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM N. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES 8-0. ITEM 0, O, THE LETTER O. >> ITEM O, ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO APPOINT AN ASSOCIATE JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF RECORD OF THE CITY OF PLANO, SETTING THE TERM OF OFFICE AND COMPENSATION FOR THE JUDGE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> Ricciardelli: THANK YOU, MAYOR. I PULLED THIS ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO INTERACT WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT, AN ASSOCIATE DGE OF THEUNICAL COURT IS A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, SO I THOUGHT THIS APPOINTMENT DESERVED TO BE INDEPENDENTLY RECOGNIZED AS ITS OWN VOTE, SO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, AS I'M SURE WE'VE ALL SEEN, THAT MARK LEDBETTER HAS BOTH THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF EXPERIENCE, WEARING SO MANY DIFFERENT HATS OF ROLES THAT WILL INTERACT WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT AS HE'S AN ASSOCIATE JUDGE OF IT, THAT I ELIEVE HE'S PERFECTLY SUITED FOR THIS POSITION AND OBVIOUSLY CHIEF JUDGE McNULTY'S RECOMMENDATION CARRIES A TON OF WEIGHT. SO WILL OF THAT SAID, I MOVE THAT WE APPOINT MARK LEDBETTER FOR THE VACANCY FOR ASSOCIATE JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT. >> SO I SECOND AND WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT MARK. SO MARK AND I GO WAY BACK. AND I WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT MARK THAT HE IS TOO MODEST TO TALK ABOUT. FIRST OF ALL, HE'S A RETIRED PLANO POLICE OFFICER. AND THEN HE ENTERED INTO THE LAW PRACTICE. HE WAS A PROSECUTOR IN COLLIN COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR A FEW YEARS PRIOR TO COMING INTO THE PRIVATE WORLD. I'VE MET HIM WHEN HE WAS A PROSECUTOR IN COLLIN COUNTY BECAUSE HE'S MANY, MANY YEARS BEHIND ME. BY THAT TIME, I HAD ALREADY RETIRED FROM THE COLLIN COUNTY DA's OFFICE, BUT HE WAS THERE. WE HAD MULTIPLE CASES TOGETHER IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE. AND HE'S MOST HONORABLE WAY AS A PROSECUTOR SHLD. SEEK JUSTICE, NOT WIN. AND THAT'S EXACTLY THE MODEL THAT HE'S ALWAYS CARRIED WITH HIM. AFTER HE CAME OUT TO PRIVATE PRACTICE, HE THEN SERVED AS A CITY PROSECUTOR FOR FRISCO, WILEY. I MEAN, THERE'S SOME OTHER CITIES THAT -- MULTIPLE CITIES AROUND THE COLLIN COUNTY AREA. AND HE'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY KIND AND VERY POLITE WHEN I WENT TO HIM WITH MY KNEES ON THE GROUND BEGGING. HE'S ALWAYS BEEN VERRACIOUS WITH HIS RECOMMENDATIONS AND HIS WAY OF DEALING WITH CASES. ALWAYS BEEN VERY FAIR. AND WHEN I HEARD THAT HE WAS COMING TO CITY OF PLANO, THE FIRST PERSON I SAID TO EVERYBODY WAS, OH, MY GOD, THIS IS GREAT. SO I HAVE NOTHING BUT THE BEST WISHES FOR MARK LEDBETTER. AND I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU. AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL BE HERE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. >> Mayor Muns: MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM O. PLEASE VOTE. MAYOR PRO TEM? >> Prince: YES. >> Mayor Muns: OKAY, THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES 8-0. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JUDGE. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. >> ITEM NUMBER ONE.
