Item three comprehensive monthly financial Report for March 2025. I, Denise. And we actually prepare our comprehensive monthly financial report monthly. And so it's available on the city's website. But I present to you on a quarterly basis. So this is for the month of March. So this slide represents our revenues compared to budget by fund. The general fund has revenues of 271.4 million for the first half of the fiscal year. This represents 77.2% of the total annual budget. The reason it's so much greater than just that 50% is because when we collect all our ad valorem taxes, is in the second quarter of the fiscal year. The water and sewer fund has 109.4 million in revenues, and that represents 45.7% of the total annual budget. You'll actually see those revenues increase as people water more in the summer months. This slide represents expenditures compared to budget by fund. The general fund has expenditures of one 66.4 million for the first half of the fiscal year, which represents 47.5% of the budget. The water and sewer fund has expenditures of 84 million, which represents 46.8% of the total annual budget. This slide represents our net change in fund balance for the past three years. The general fund for the first half of the fiscal year, the fund balance has increased by $96.1 million. This is more favorable than the last two fiscal years. In the first half of the year, the water and sewer fund balance has decreased by 1.4 million. This is less favorable than the first half of the last couple of fiscal years. But it's not unusual to have to draw down at this point in time. This is our general fund revenues compared to actual compared to this year and last year. General fund revenues are higher in the first quarter of the fiscal year than the prior year by $16.3 million. There was an increase in property tax revenue by $10 million. Sales tax revenue also increased by 5.1 million, and licenses and permit revenue has also increased over the prior first half of the year by 1.3 million. With our general fund expenditures, they are lower than the first half of the prior fiscal year by 3.1 million. Personnel costs decreased by 718,000 due to our hiring freeze that we placed in the first quarter of the fiscal year. And then materials and supplies also decreased by 1.5 million. And this is due to some cost cutting measures. The health claims fund had an increase in fund balance of about 432,000. This fund is trending better overall as we've been able to add to the fund balance over the last year. Our fund balance is now at $8.7 million. And a lot of this has to do with how we have set our plan design, and we've been able to get some savings through our healthcare highways in our plan. Unemployment rates in March were at 3.7%. This is up from 3.2% where they were in December. Here's our sales tax comparison for the month of April. They were down compared to the prior year by 3.6%. The reason this is down is because there was a positive audit adjustment that took place last year. That was 529,000. So if we didn't, we also had a positive audit adjustment this year, but it was only 35,000. So without any of the audit adjustments, we would have been up by 1.9%. Here's our real estate market recap. It shows the number of days on the market was 33 days in March. This is down from 47 days in December. Percent of asking was at 98.5% in March, which is higher than the 97.4% we saw in December. More real estate market recap the median selling price for a home in Plano was at 550,000 in March, which is up compared to 537 in December. The price per square foot in December was at 225, which is now up to 228 in March. Our hotel occupancy tax is up by $95,000 compared to the prior year, and this is this slide represents our equity in our treasury pool. Basically it's how much money is held by each of the different funds. As always the largest portion is in our capital projects funds because that's where all our bond proceeds go. And as it takes a couple of years to get all of those paid down. This just shows our maturities of our investment portfolio. We like to show you this so you can see that we're we ladder our our maturities out so that they're not all maturing at the same time. We're able to capture a little bit of yield doing that and having plenty of liquidity. And then this is our investment portfolio diversification. We like to show you this so you can see that we don't have everything in one place. And we can't have investments of greater than 50% in any one category. And I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thanks, Denise. Any questions? All right. Next item up. Code adoption process. Presentation. Lo Celso. Good evening. Council. My name is salsa Mata. I'm chief building official with our building inspections department here to talk about our code adoption process. Here you can see on the right a listing of all the codes that we plan to adopt and come to you on June 9th at that meeting. Pictorial. Of all the code books on the left, almost all the code books there. We are currently under the 2021. We proposed to go to the 2024 code cycles run every three years. If you recall the memo, it has four steps basically to adopt the codes. First step is the International Code Council where we get our codes from. And that takes approximately three years. It's a long process because there can be changes. There can be certain things that are proposed. When that is completed, we get those code books and we work with the North Texas Council of Governments. We're regionally. All cities get together and we vet those codes, and we come up with any regional amendments that we propose. We break up into several groups for each code discipline. Once that is completed, we take those amendments and bring them here locally to our Building Standards Commission. And at the Building Standards Commission. We will vet all of those amendments and any other amendments that Plano may propose to that package. That took about four months, I think we started in January, finished in April, I believe. And then the final step is to bring them to you for adoption. And there's something new that we will have to comply with. As of the 87 state legislature, which was the last state legislature, House Bill 738 requires us to review them at a public hearing, only reviewing the residential code and the building code before we adopt them for an official ordinance. Here you can see a nice picture of our code hearing National hearing. A lot of people attend. Anyone with interest will have manufacturers. There will have code scientists, basically engineers, architects and any proposals that are made will be vetted. And this process takes a long time. We meet several times in approximately three years. But important to notice and note that the only voting members are code officials. Here's a graphic of the process that I described with the North Central Texas Council of Governments. You can see each of the groups broken up. Energy. Electrical building, residential fire, and plumbing and mechanical. We take all of those amendments and then we take them to our regional Code Coordinating Committee, which looks at them one more time before we move them to the executive board, where they are then finally approved. And then we take those from the Executive board, the amendments. And again, we take all of those codes. We review them through the Building Standards Commission and any amendments or any amendments that we propose. And then we bring them to you for adoption. Summed up what has taken approximately almost four years very quickly and succinctly. There's a lot that goes on there, but any questions? Thank you Celso. Any questions for staff. Thank you very much. So our next item is discussion and direction regarding general and technology solution compensation plans. Mayor Whitley mayor and council, real quick we brought this to you at the last council meeting to ensure that we're moving forward with the adoption of some adjustments to the structure and the plan that we have for compensation. The goal is to try to implement on June 2nd, so that we can actually have it in place before we get to the budget process and talk about what sort of compensation adjustments could be made as part of the budget process. We did send out that presentation, have answered some questions, and so staff is here to answer any questions that you might have before moving forward. Good evening. I'm Karen Rhodes Whitley. I'm standing in for Victoria tonight. Along with me. I have Andrea Cockrell and Erica Hurst. We can answer any questions. I did want to let you all know that $4.4 million was placed aside during the budget work session last year for the implementation of the comp plan. Philosophy changes. What we are asking for tonight for June 2nd is just moving the we're going to move the grade. All the grades will go up per our consultants. And all that's being asked for is the individuals that are not making the minimum. We're just going to move them up to the minimum pay of their grade range. So for this year to finish out this year's cost, it's $287,000, a full year cost is $862,000 for next year. And we have that already included in the 2526 budget. So what questions do you have? Any questions? I see somebody okay. Councilmember Horn, thank you, Karen, thank you very much for the presentation. I'm still trying to wrap my arms around when we talked about these these these brackets, these windows here and really gets down to I know we talked we in the past we talked about we wanted to have the median income plus 5% correct. Is that across the board or not? I'm going to bring Andrea up. Okay. So really when we're talking about the median plus 5%, we're just talking about the design of the structure. So that's where we're targeting the midpoint of the salary ranges for the general technology pay plans. Okay. And how many employees. I mean, when we talk about medium, I'm expecting half or below the 5%, half or above the 5% or the median. You know, I would say the majority actually fall into the lower part of the salary range. The majority employees tend to be hired towards the entry level and maybe the lower third of the range. So there's not too many that are above the midpoint. And what do you know what around about that number is? I mean, we I mean, for two years I always thought we had plus 5%. Now you're telling me actually that's just the median part. And that's how we market or manage that across. We look at it across other cities of comparable size. So Councilman, one of the things I would share is that different, we have actually three different pay structures going on. So we have the civil service side of things. Police has a plan, fire has a plan. And then we have general government and technology. This is focused on the general government and technology for the general government and technology. We've actually had medium plus 5% over six years is kind of the time frame to move people along, to get to that midpoint, to get to that median plus five. So what we do is we have hiring practices that based upon experience and qualifications, they get hired in at a certain level, and then we work towards progressing them over that time frame to reach that median plus 5%, because I know we're competing not just with other cities on the technology aspect, but with corporations. You know, they they just love our technology guys. So we have to be competitive in the compensation package just to retain them because we are municipal, municipality and corporations have a little bit more leniency on what they can pay, particularly those with, you know, 4 or 5 years experience. And that's really kind of a proving ground. So I guess we're just talking about from the technology solutions. But when we get back to the general government side, the civil servant side, how are we doing with with regards to that? I mean, do we have a significant number on the lower side or do we have more? Because when we look at the median, we are also talking about our upper management under the civil servant side. So that's kind of skews that median point a little bit. So we're actually we actually do annual surveys. Councilman. We have agreed to number of market cities that we go through and look at. We look at those every single year. And then we adjust as needed as part of that as part of our budget process. So those things will be coming back. As a matter of fact, I think we have a meeting with the Chiefs here tomorrow, tomorrow to discuss those, to discuss what we've seen from the survey side of things. But it is a it is a bit of a challenge as, as we've discussed in previous years, we are the market. So when we make adjustments, everybody else tries to make adjustments too. And when they do that, it just kind of pushes up against us. So the what I would say is a lot of times our adjustments are point in time. And then over the course of the year that gets eroded based upon actions of other cities. Thank you and thanks for the explanation on that. I guess what I'm voicing more than likely here is just a concern about what we've done in the past, and I applaud that. I mean, that keeps us being the City of excellence. But in these uncertain times, what what do we have to protect us from having, you know, to have this ad valorem tax increase to cover that general cost when outside forces are putting strains on sales tax? I mean, I'm sure we have a plan B to consider that. I mean, that means tightening the belts across all departments just to cover that, that, that labor cost. So some of what you've seen in the fiscal roadmap has been some of the addressing of that. But the challenge we have right now, and I don't think I'm surprising anybody ad valorem by itself, does not pay for public safety in Plano. I mean, we're dipping into sales tax already to be able to pay for salaries and budgets and public safety. So sales tax is critically important revenue source for us. And finding those outside pressures. Candidly, everybody is in a labor challenge that we're all focused on trying to get the best quality staff members that we can and to be able to be competitive in that. But it goes beyond salaries. It goes into the benefits side of things. So it's the pensions. It is healthcare. It is it is the total package that we're looking at staying competitive with. And so we try to balance that every year as, as part of that budget discussion. And I guess just as a closing remark on this, because of those outside influences on our sales tax, we probably have to prepare a message, a message somehow to get out to our employees. In that, again, we can't predict what's happening in the next month. We can't predict what's happening by July 9th. But with those external forces putting pressure on sales, I think there's going to be a point where we're going to have to come up with a message to all our employees that there's going to be significant belt tightening, and that's just something we're going to have to address. So I'm just that's just a final closing note, Councilman. I think when we went through our hiring freeze and went through our budget contingency last year, I think that message has been delivered. And as part of the fiscal roadmap, we have been conveying that message to the organization and to the community that we're no longer a high growth, high growth, fast growth community. We're having to adjust our policies, our practices, our recovery, and some of our expectations for how we're going to go about that. But we also are a service industry. I mean, people are how we deliver those programs and services. So that becomes part of the challenge as well, that 70% of our budget, between 60 and 70% of our budget, is labor costs. So I think actually this time period, what council member Horne was talking about is actually really good for municipality because we could actually promote that. We are pretty stable and we continue to grow steadily. So that would be some type of direction that we can we can look at. I also wanted to see whether or not, whether or not medium plus 5% is, is the, you know, is the golden standard or whether or not there are other options or that is better suited in in the current state of affairs, I like to know about how our retention rate is compared to the other departments. Like right now we're just talking about general and technology solution, right? How does that I mean, with all the competitive private sectors out there polling, you know, people who are trained, how are we in in comparison with other sectors in the city in retaining our employees? And what are some of the things that we can do to ensure that they stay put so we can bring back some of that information along those lines as far as the competitive side of things, but two quick, two quick elements of that private sector doesn't have to share their information necessarily. So we're happy to go back and look at that from a municipal perspective. Sure. Different sectors within the city, we're happy to do that. But department by department and look at that to be able to bring that back and provide that information. So the second thing I also have is I received the email actually this afternoon from the Plano Police Department. So I haven't had a really a good chance to really look at what they're talking about. But I don't believe that that's what we're talking about today. On the compensation. So if I don't know if that was forwarded to you, but if there there are some questions on there. So if, if anybody gets it and wants to respond to me, I would really appreciate it. So I get more of a handle on what what are some of the issues that they are facing. That would be great. That's all I have and we'll be providing those answers as part of the budget process. Council member. Any thank you. Mayor. So, Karen, refresh my memory. So this is basically for the June 1st is just for the grades 1 to 26. Or is it all the grades, all of the grades, all the grades okay. Technology okay. Perfect. Wonderful. And then I submitted a bunch of other questions and those were answered as well too. But I just wanted clarification on that one. So thank you. All right. Oh, Council member Kerr yeah. So the median plus five. It's sort of it's for all all the staff you know and all the bands combined. Can you just speak a little bit to what about hiring the younger people, the people fresh out of school etc. Are we really competitive in that area where ultra competitive? We're barely. I mean, trying to understand the calculation there. Yeah. So our methodology basically takes into consideration the market value of the position. What are the minimum qualifications in terms of education and experience. And then we come up with a starting rate based on that. So if the job requires no experience and the person has no experience, they're typically hired at the entry level of the range. If the person brings in a significant amount of credentials beyond what the job requires, then they get hired a little bit further into the range. So it depends on each situation is unique, but we're looking at it in a systematic method in relation to the market band. The positions requirements and then the credentials of the candidate. Okay, thanks all I have. Thank you. Mayor and Council. We'll plan on continuing to move forward with this for the June 2nd timeframe. Again, we will provide updates along the way during the budget cycle on compensation. Trust me, it will be a big discussion. There is there is a lot to address there. And so we do feel like there is some elements that we need to bring back as part of that process and explain further. So we're happy to do that and happy to continue to look at median plus 5%, to see if that continues to be an effective philosophy. So we'll continue to watch that and report back as needed. Thank you, thank you. Okay. The next item is consent and regular agendas. I do have Council Member Levine is like wants to pull item A is that correct. And then staff would like to pull item G e. G, g and E, g and E okay. Any other item Council member would like to remove. Okay. Thank you. And item seven Council items for discussion and action for future agendas. I have one. So mayor and Council just giving you a heads up. One of the elements that we have been studying over the last couple of months, and I will share with you. I do not have a draft report on this yet, but one of the things that I'm going to be working on is doing some analysis with Abby Owens, who's sitting right there, and Caleb Thornhill, as well as Jack Carr. Is the discussion of potential night work on some of our road construction on our arterials. We want to take a look and see if there is a way that we might be able to go faster and be a little bit less disruptive by doing night work not in the neighborhoods but on the arterials. So we want to be able to do some analysis and look at this and see if there's a potential to go a little bit faster, maybe be a little bit more cost effective. So I just wanted to put that on your radar and make sure that we're saying that out publicly, because I can imagine that there may be some concern about that. But just anecdotally, you know, we have done the overlays at night. It has gone very smoothly and successfully. It's like people magically wake up and the road's been repaired and looks nice. So we want to see if we can expand that and actually do some concrete work overnight. So just putting this on your radar that we will be bringing this back as a preliminary open meeting item in the future. So Council Member Horn. Mr. Israelson, we're already receiving those emails about the night work. And though I appreciate it, I don't live near a major arterial. But we have to be cognizant of those those complaints. So again, we'll probably have to respond to those emails in a nice, polite way, saying this is the best way we can get this job done, but we're going to get it done quickly. Thank you. All right. We'll take a recess and return at 7:00. Thank you. I now declare the Plano City Council is reconvened in open session that all members are present. We'll begin tonight's regular meeting with the invocation led by Terry Pittman, discipleship Plano Early Lions Club. Would you all please stand? Before you pray, may I just say thank you for the opportunity to be here tonight? We at Huntersglen consider it a privilege to lift up not only these proceedings, but also the residents and the members and all the activities and events that happen in this city. So thank you for the privilege. Father, how we love you. Thank you indeed that we have the privilege to be here and pray in a meeting such as this. Thank you that we live in the city of Plano and the state of Texas and even in this great nation, father, we know that it is a great privilege and we are grateful. Tonight we come before you asking for wisdom. Your word says, if we lack wisdom, we should ask you. And so, father, today we ask you for wisdom. Wisdom for the decisions and the strategies that will be discussed and implemented through tonight's meeting. Pray that you would grant us wisdom and strength and encouragement. I pray that specifically for these Council members and for those that will be presenting, that you would give them great wisdom. Most of all, father, we ask you for your presence. May it be very evident that you are here tonight through your peace and your wisdom and your compassion and your grace. May it fill us in this place today we pray in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen. I believe in the next life. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas. One state under God, one indivisible. Thank you. Please be seated. Okay. We're going to get a photo with the mayor. Thank you. Come here. Oh. Come here. I have my list. You want whatever you want. Thank you guys for doing this. Appreciate it. Thank you for having us. Thank you. Stay around. We're going to take a picture. All right. Okay. Right there. Did everybody get one? There you go. Look at you. Absolutely. Okay. There we go. Yeah. Get really close. Don't put all your trust in those carabiners, though. Planet. Okay. Come on in. Come back up by the podium here. Okay. Some of you guys come over on this side of the deck. There we go. Is that okay? Yeah. Thank you. Hold on just a second. Thanks, guys. Thank you for doing. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much for doing that. Could you. 111. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. So we have a certificate of appreciation I'd like to present to Sam Johnson. Sam was serving on the Board of Adjustment, and he has successfully become a board of trustee for the Pisd. But during his time here, we really appreciate all you've done, Sam. So if you'll come up in recognition of your commitment to serving the community of Plano, Texas on the Board of Adjustment, thank you so much. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Okay. Comments of public interest. Comments of public interest. 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 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. And we have five speakers this evening. The first one is Michael Ruben Trejo. The last time I did this, it was on zoom. I just walk up here and into the mic. Okay, great. Wonderful. Thank you. Mayor Muns and esteemed council members for the opportunity to speak today. My name is Michael Ruben Trejo. I live at 2416 Winter drive, and I've lived at this address since April 2024. Three minutes allows me time for only a brief aside. So far, my family and I are very happy that we moved to the city of Plano and we do intend to stay here. I'm here this evening to address an inequity in our sewer billing system that unfairly burdens new residents who have below city average sewer usage. I spoke before this council on June 24th, 2024, expressing a concern that my household would be substantially overcharged for sewer due to the City of Plano's practice of using an assumed sewer volume for new residents. Indeed, that is exactly what happened in my first year as a resident. My household was overcharged by $538.32 based on assumed usage, rather than our actual much lower sewer usage. Put differently, this represents a 190% overcharge. While I understand the need for estimation, now that we have my actual usage data, there is no justification for my household to subsidize other households that have higher consumption. Indeed, through this practice, I and other below average usage, new residents subsidize other above average usage. New residents of Plano. This cross-subsidy occurs every year. I have two requests. Number one, I'm requesting a refund of these overcharges. And number two, I'm asking the council to consider adjusting the policy to reconcile accounts once the first winter quarter average. Or is established. That is, in addition to being prospective. The first would be retrospective as well, and would apply to the entire period during which an account was charged. The city average sewer volume. If a household's first is below the city average, its account would be credited with the overcharge. But if a household's first wcca is above the city average, its account would be debited to make up for the shortfall. Such a change would ensure that everyone pays their fair share while still respecting the sewer metering challenges that give rise to the method in the first place. I'm happy to discuss this issue further, but thank you for your time in allowing me to voice this concern. Thank you. The next speaker is Susan Williams. Susan Williams. We will move on to Ruby Wallace. And we will move on to V Crystal Curry. Hi. As she mentioned, my name is Crystal Curry. I do have a long first name that my mother blessed me with, but I won't give you the tongue twister this afternoon. This evening. It's good to see the troops here. I was a Girl Scout myself. Had got all the badges and had a room full. My mom was the cookie bee lady, so we had a house full of cookies and everybody. So I won the badge that year. But anyway, I'm going to refer to my phone as well. I relocated to Texas in 2013 for a corporate position. I'm educated and I have over 30 years of experience in technology, which has proven to be beneficial in my determining some of the cause of some of the issues that I've experienced as a part of my relocation package to Texas, to Dallas, I was partnered with a real estate agent who provided stats about the stellar Plano School District, which you know, I loved from the onset. My dad was a military. We were stationed in Austin, Texas, which was Bergstrom at the time, which was a it's an airport, but it was a Air Force base. But so I'm familiar with Texas, but new to Dallas or kind of new. I moved here in 2013, but I'm familiar with moving, familiar with making connections with people. And I love the adventure of being in discovering new places. Unfortunately, today I am here to speak about a very different experience living in Plano. I've called it Malicious Mischief. However, that seems a light term, and considering the severe distress that it's caused me, which has increasingly heightened over the last couple years, and it's very difficult to put into words, and it's even impacted my ability to make a living. I've shared some of the specific details regarding those issues with the neighborhood services people. I met with them last week, so we've had a meeting to discuss some of this, and I've written several emails not only to the neighborhood services people, but also to the city council as well. I hope you've read them. But in the allotted three minutes, I it would be extremely difficult for me to summarize all of the issues that I've experienced. But the most excruciating of those issues is what I consider to be somewhat of a genocide. I know that's a strong term, but I use it sparingly, but also to express the deep concern that I have. It involves my children and I and things that I didn't give permission to occur. And it does involve the city of Plano and some of the residents of the city of Plano as well. So it's impossible to sue a ton of people and everywhere. But my request is that I would have somebody from the council partner with me. I've already contacted the US Congress and specifically the Senate for assistance, and I would appreciate if you would partner with me to resolve the issues that I've written about. And they do involve the city as well. So thank you for your time, and I appreciate any assistance that you can give me. Thank you. The last speaker is Bill Lyle. It is more important to me to own something. When I know that I'm wrong, than it is important for me to ever be right about a topic. I certainly consider being removed by the police to meetings ago as something that's wrong. And so what I did is I reflected on what I could have done differently in that meeting. I want to acknowledge that I pulled an agenda item that was about binoculars for the police, and I used my time to talk about the importance of justice being blind in our courtroom. I regret going around the system in this manner. And Mayor Muns, I ask for your forgiveness for doing that. I think the topic I was speaking to is important, but the manner that I went about about it wasn't the right way to do it. I think that might have led to some of the frustrations later in the meeting. I also apologize to the police officer that had to be here to speak to an issue when there wasn't one, and then to the gentleman that is here that also had to remove me. Next, I would like to congratulate our new council members on your successful election. I know the toll that an election takes and the expense and the work and the everything that goes into it. And congratulations. Sincerely. You are now my council members as well, and I look forward to working with you and bringing you real issues. Maria, I'm going to use the rest of my time to address you, because I was trying to address you when I was removed. I think it was unprofessional of you to cross-examine staff the way you did. You could have asked any number of questions about the real topic. I reject your characterization that these were my issues. These were real issues that I had with the city selling property that had nothing to do with me. You could have asked what the recommendations were that were just adopted in the 12th Street Station Silver Line area study. You could have asked what the recommendations in that study were on block links. You could have asked if Avenue P should actually line up with the northern alignment in the future and not be offset. You could have asked what the recommended block lengths were, and the measurements between Avenue N to Avenue P, and then contemplate Avenue O in the middle. You could have also asked what the street design standards say about offset intersections, but you didn't ask any of these things. You simply cross-examined and led your witness, which was staff, in a very awkward manner and really were very off topic. And to be consistent, I think we should all be on topic at this meeting. 20s, I want to remind you, Maria, that in the last 24 months you voted unanimously with the sitting council to appoint me to the Planning and Zoning Commission on two different occasions to speak to land use issues. And so I was here with a genuine concern, and I don't appreciate the way that you handled it. Thank you for the time. Okay. Moving on to the consent agenda. The consent agenda, the consent agenda will be acted upon in one motion and contains items which are routine and 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 on the number of speaker requests. Okay, so we are pulling item A, item E, and item G. Would someone like to make a motion regarding the rest of the items? Sorry. Go ahead, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to make a motion. We approve the consent agenda. Consent agenda. With the exception of item A, E and G to be pulled for individual consideration. Second. Okay. I have a motion and a second to. Approve the consent agenda. With the exception of a, E and G. All in favor, please vote. Or please vote. Motion passes 8 to 0. Item A. Item A to approve the May 12th, 2020 five minutes. And there was a correction made changing. Approved to. What did we have to accept on the minutes for the Cultural Arts plan? And everyone should have a corrected copy of the minutes to review. Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to accept the minutes as amended. Okay. Councilman Horn second. Thank you. So I have a motion and a second to. Accept the amended minutes from two weeks ago. Please vote. Motion passes 8 to 0. Thank you. Item E. Item E, to approve the purchase of tires for a one year contract with three one year automatic renewals for inventory control. Asset disposal in the estimated annual amount of $502,311 from Southern Tire Mart, LLC through an existing contract, and authorizing the City manager to execute all necessary documents. Mayor and Council, we had a typo in this item. Kelly, would you describe the correction that needs to be made before adoption? So on the recap that was attached to this agenda item. So it's titled the Cooperative Recap on that document. It shows an amount of $503,310.51. And that should actually be reflected as the number that is actually on the agenda item. And that should be $502,310.51. So just a small transposition of the numbers, okay. Thank you, thank you. Council member horn. Mr. Mayor, I make a motion. We approve agenda item E as corrected. Second. So I have a motion a second to accept the revision on item E. Please vote. Okay. Motion passed 8 to 0. Item G, I believe needs to be pulled and will be revisited down the road. Correct. We'll bring it back at a future council meeting. Okay, so let's move on to items of individual consideration. Do we need to vote on. Them? No staff pull on it. Yeah. Items for individual consideration. Public hearing items. Applicants are limited to 15 minutes presentation time with a five minute rebuttal if needed. Remaining speakers are limited to 30 total minutes of testimony time, with three minutes assigned per speaker. The presiding officer may amend these times as deemed necessary. Non public hearing items. The Presiding Officer will permit public comment for items on the agenda not posted for a public hearing. The Presiding Officer will establish time limits based upon the number of speaker requests, length of the agenda and to insure meeting efficiency, and may include a cumulative time limit. Speaker speakers will be called in the order the requests are received until the cumulative time is exhausted. Item number one. To approve an expenditure in the amount of $3,050,000 for the purchase of real property located at 2701 Park Haven Drive from the Plano Independent School District, and authorizing the City manager to execute all necessary documents. Good evening, City Council. My name is Matthew Yeager. I serve as the city's real estate manager. I'm here tonight for two items that involve the city's potential acquisition of property that the Plano Independent School District has declared surplus. The first item tonight is Davis Elementary School, located at 2701 Park Haven Drive. It opened in 1972. Subsequent to investigation and a community outreach process that the school district undertook in the 2324 school year was one of the four campuses deemed surplus property under an Ila adopted by the Plano Independent School District School Board and this council in October of 2024. The city has the first opportunity to purchase these properties. You can see before you right now, just a brief overview of the Davis Elementary School site. 5.3 acres. We've agreed on a price of just over $3 million, single family zoning, and it's designated as neighborhoods on the Comprehensive Plan. It shares a border with Caddo Park to the north. You can see there to the east is a LDS church. Just for further kind of references to the west and south, you'll find Haggard Middle School and the Plano Senior High Campus. Staff proposes to just have a community engagement process to determine future uses of this. Those future uses will need to be consistent with the surrounding property, benefit the community, and maintain the integrity and security of the neighborhood that's part of that. Ila with the Plano Independent School District, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks, Matt. Any questions for Matt regarding this? Council member Kerr. Yeah, just a quick question. When you're talking about getting community engagement, is that in the immediate neighborhood or throughout the city, primarily focused on the immediate neighborhood? Of course, it's open to the public. So anybody can contribute their opinion, show up to meetings that will be held. All staff is reachable. They can, of course, petition the city council. So no property is an island, but most likely the neighborhood will have kind of the most interest and be the loudest people to guide future development. Along those same lines, are there any agreements that we're expecting to enter in with the school system regarding limitations about how to use the property or reselling it and things like that? Nothing outside of what is in those interlocal agreements or the interlocal agreement of just being consistent with the neighborhood, maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood, benefiting the public in some form or fashion. Very good. Thank you. I'm very in favor of this. Okay. Council member Yvonne, in the portion of the facility that's to be demolished by the school board, is there any of the playground or park elements in that in that area? Sure. So since it borders Caddo Park to the north, the actual playground for the school campus is just on the north side of that green line there. We did ask Plano ISD to collaborate with us and specify making the specifications for their bid documents to demolish the school, so pretty much everything in that green area is going to be kind of a blank slate going forward. So you will find within there kind of a concrete play area, some basketball goals, something to that effect. Okay. Council Member Kerr I'd like to move that. We accept this this item. Right. Second. Okay. So I have a motion a second to approve item number one. This is not a public hearing. So this is just a regular item for action. Please vote. Motion passes 8 to 0. Thank you. Next item item number two. To approve an expenditure in the amount of 5,375,000. For the purchase of real property located at 3600 Timberline Drive from Plano Independent School District and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Good evening Council. This is the second item regarding purchase of surplus property tonight. Foreman Elementary School opened around the same time of Davis Elementary. Over 50 years of service to the city. This campus is larger 9.45 acres. Hence the larger price that you see before you. 5.35 I'm sorry. $5,375,000. Similar zoning. Single family zoning designated as neighborhoods on the Comprehensive Plan. This particular parcel is identified by the city to relocate Fire Station three in the future. Provided a future construction bond referendum passes in the 2025 bond referendum, the voters have approved partial funding to acquire this site and also to begin design work. The remaining use of the property will really fall into place once we have the site plan done for that fire station, we want that to operate optimally. So once that falls into place, we'll have a better sense of what could be used in the future. And again, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have on this item. Thank you. Matt. Maria, I have no questions. I think it's a great idea that we, you know, we bring in more acreage that we don't really have many of in Plano and, and perhaps utilize them to create a better environment for our residents. So with that in mind, I move to approve this agenda item. Okay, Mr. Mayor, with the with the relocation of Fire Station three, which is woefully inadequate for today's equipment and leaves additional stress on our firefighters in that area, this land purchase makes sense for the future use of a new fire department. So I would like to second that motion for approval. All right. Thank you. I have a motion a second to approve. Item number two please vote. Thank you. Motion passes 8 to 0. There being no further business. The meeting is adjourned. Investigator John Hampton Caddell, the third Harris County Sheriff's Office. End of watch
