Sep 14, 2021 Work Session and Regular Meeting

YOU TAKE ONE OF THEM AND THEN, OR, OR, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE TOPICS FIRST, BUT WAIT, SOME OF THESE WE COULD SPLIT UP, UM, OR IF THE MAYOR JUST WANTS TO DO INTRODUCTIONS, UM, OR IF YOU ALL HAVE OTHER IDEAS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE, YOU KNOW, I, I LIKE TO DO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS IN THE MEANTIME, TOUCH ON THE, UH, AAA BOND RATING TAX RATE, ALSO A PANDEMIC GRANT.

SO ANYTHING INVOLVED IN YOUR MONEY? I LIKE TO DO IT.

SO I LIKE TO DO THAT, ESPECIALLY I WANT TO MENTION $897,000.

HERE'S THE APP.

AND WE RECENTLY RECEIVED OUR POD, WHICH I'M RUNNING MORE THAN $2 BILLION AND WE'RE STILL EXPECTING ANOTHER $200 IN LATER DAY.

I LIKE TO TOUCH ON THOSE EDF DAY.

I MEAN OUR COUNCIL, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT THAT, PAUL PLEASE.

PARDON ME? COUNCIL MEMBER AWARD.

UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND SO IT'S EASY FOR US TO SEE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE READ IT AND MAYBE PEOPLE AT HOME DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D BE HAPPY TO READ THESE TOPICS AND THEN WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE TO DISCUSS.

SO THE BULLET POINTS FOR POSSIBLE TOWN MEETING TOPICS ARE FIRST FISCAL YEAR, 2022, BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS, PUBLIC WORKS, UPDATE OR PROJECT UPDATES, MIDWAY ROAD, KELLER SPRINGS, SPARROW LANE, UH, ET CETERA, ECO, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE, UH, TRANSPORTATION UPDATE, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRPORT, SEVERAL LINE, UH, DARK LINE, EXCUSE ME.

UM, THE SAM'S CLOUD SPECIALIST STUDY WORK THAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE AND THEN THE ATHLETIC CLUB SLASH PARKS IMPROVEMENTS.

SO, SO IF MAYOR TAKES THE FISCAL YEAR 20 AND 22, IF EVERYONE'S OKAY, IF I DO THE EKG AGAIN, AND MARLA MENTIONED HE WANTED TO DO THE ATHLETIC CLUB, I THINK ONE OF US SHOULD SAME SLEPT STUDY GQ.

HOLD ON.

I'LL DO THAT.

DONE BEFORE MAYBE WEEKENDS, CAUSE THERE'S ONLY SIX THINGS.

WHAT DOES THE CLUB MODEL TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M OPEN TO ANY, I DON'T CARE.

LAST TIME I DID IT.

UM, I THINK A ROLE WITH DARK WATER STUFF, UM, INTERSECTION TO BE

[00:05:01]

MAYBE WE CAN, WE CAN SPLIT UP LIKE, LIKE I LIKE TO BE ASKING YOU ABOUT BELLA TODAY.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT.

MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE INCLUDES THE WHOLE THING.

CAUSE I WAS, WHAT I WAS THINKING OF IS, YOU KNOW, HOW ABOUT THE PANDEMIC? UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAD OF DIFFERENT, UH, DIFFERENT, UH, COURSE OF ACTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE THAT WOULD MERIT THE TOPIC OR I GUESS IT WOULD BE CATHERINE CAN DO THE PANDEMIC STUFF AND HOW WE'LL USE IT.

SO IT WON'T BE LONG.

SO IT CAN BE JUST LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES.

YEAH, IT'S GOOD.

YEAH, YOU'LL DO THAT.

I JUST HIGHLIGHT, I JUST DO THE RATINGS CHECK TO DO SO THE STAFF AND PEOPLE, VOLUNTEERS, AND THEN I DO THE BUDGETS.

AND WE HAVE ENOUGH, I THINK WE DO ENOUGH THAT WE CAN ADD A REPORT WITH SYLVIA UP THERE AND EXTENSION OF THE RUNWAY.

AND THAT'S A LOT, RIGHT.

THAT'S A LOT.

THAT'S A WHOLE THING.

I MEAN, AND SO WE CAN DO A COUPLE OF THINGS.

I THINK THERE IS ENOUGH CONTENT TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN OUR PANDEMIC RESPONSE.

SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT, THEN THAT WE CAN THERE'S ENOUGH CONTENT FOR THAT.

UM, I THINK, UH, IF THERE WAS A, IF YOU WANTED TO BREAK IT UP TO SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, JUST BE CARED FOR, UM, AS ONE THING, THEN YOU COULD PROBABLY COMBINE SOME OF THE PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS, CONTENTS AND MEET THE, UH, THEY HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT'S RELEVANT THAT COULD BE SHARED AS PART OF A, AND AS IT GETS IT'S OWN PRESENTATION.

SO IF THAT'S, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU BUY, YOU COULD CERTAINLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

THE AIRPORT IS INCLUDED CURRENTLY WITH THE TRANSPORTATION THAT DAY, BUT I KNOW, I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH STUFF THERE.

WE COULD CERTAINLY MAKE THE SILVER LINE TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT, , WE'LL HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT TOO.

THE SPLIT SEVERAL LINES TO NOMINEE, THEN YOU JUST DO AS AN AIRPORT AND ALSO LOVE TO SEE YOU DO THAT BECAUSE YOU GOT INVOLVED FOR SO LONG.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE DRIVING IT TO THE LAND.

ONE OF THE THREE OF US, SINCE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS TURNS OVER TO DEVELOP ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, ONE OF US TAKE THAT AS PART OF OUR THING.

SILVERLINE AND THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT, I MEAN MORE INFORMATION TO SHARE.

SO THAT'S, I DO THAT AS A SEPARATE ITEM, WHICH WELL, I MEAN, HOW MUCH OF THE ECONOMIC FORUM SHOULDN'T BE INCORPORATED? THERE'S JUST A LOT.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF ELEMENT.

SHE GOES THROUGH IT AND THERE WAS LIKE ALL THE NEW BUSINESSES COMING IN, ALL THE NEW RESTAURANTS A LOT.

AND THEN YOU THROW THAT ON TOP OF IT.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT IN AND OF ITSELF IS THE GOOD THING IS, IS WE CAN, WE CAN ADAPT.

WE CAN ADD, WE CAN EDIT OR ADD EITHER WAY, BUT I'M GOOD WITH THAT.

DO AN IDIOT UPDATE.

AND THEN, UH, THEN THE NEXT PERSON ON THAT, UH, ARE YOU, ARE YOU, DID YOU SAY YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE TRANSPORTATION AIRPORT, LA AIRPORT AND FELLA? YEAH, BUT I THINK SOMEBODY PROBABLY BETTER,

[00:10:02]

WELL, WE CAN JUST, WE COULD JUST CREATE THAT SAID IT'S A STEAM ONE AND JUST NOT DO SOMETHING ELSE.

RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I THINK THAT'S, IT'S SUCH A GENERATIONAL DECISION.

SO TOD IS NOT IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WHAT IT COULD PROBABLY DO.

AND JUST DEPENDING ON WHO WANTS TO DEAL WITH MARY WE'LL MAKE THIS ALL AWESOME.

CAUSE SHE ALWAYS DOES.

BUT UM, IT'S WE USE THAT AS KIND OF A TRANSITION FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO TRANSPORTATION, RIGHT.

IT IS TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.

SO I THINK YOU CAN USE THAT AS KIND OF A, AS A BRIDGE FROM ONE TO THE OTHER AND THEN FOCUS ON, UH, YOU KNOW, TRANSPORTATION.

BUT, UM, IT'S IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW AND I'M HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THEM OUT, BUT, BUT WE CAN ORDER THINGS IN A WAY OF SORT OF FLOWS SO THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT, UM, IS, IS, IS HANDLED APPROPRIATELY.

REALLY? THE QUESTION IS WHO'S GOING TO DO IT.

SO, AND FROM THAT STANDPOINT, IT'S IT'S UM, WHO, UH, SO IF LAURA DOES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ALL OF IT, THE PUBLIC WORKS, THEN IF YOU WANT IT TO DO TOM, IF YOU WANTED TO DO TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND THE AIRPORT, I THINK, I THINK YOU CAN PROBABLY DO BOTH AND THEN PASS THE BALL OFF THE, YOU KNOW, MIDWAY ROAD TYPE OF STUFF.

SO I'M GETTING TO THE TOO FAR, THE DETAILS, BUT WE CAN MAKE IT WORK AS LONG AS YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE.

UM, AS LONG AS WE KNOW WHO'S DOING IT BACK WITH THE MAYOR AND HAVE KATHERINE DO A LITTLE AIRPORT UPDATE, SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON US, CUSTOMS AND ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE ABLE TO THEN, AND ALSO THE SORT OF FPL, JUST TWO THINGS.

SO THEN IT WON'T DRAG, BUT YOU WANT TO TAKE THE SHORTEST ONE IS THAT PANDEMIC, PANDEMIC, PANDEMIC, AND THEN MAKE FUNDING.

SO ANYTHING INVOLVED IN MONEY.

SO LET'S GO OVER THIS ONE MORE TIME JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

SO JOE, ARE YOU GONNA GET, BUT IF YOU HIGHLIGHT PANDEMIC FUNDING, SO I'M ON THE STREET, RIGHT.

AND THAT INCLUDES A GOOD WAY.

VALID LOT.

AND THEN LAURIE IS GOING TO EDD, THAT'LL SEGUE INTO, UM, TRANSPORTATION UPDATE, UH, TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, UM, GQS, SPECIAL AREAS, STUDY PARKS, THE AIRPORT.

MAYBE YOU CAN GO AFTER, AFTER TOM MAYBE, AND THEN GQ FIGURE OUT WHAT ELEMENT AND THE SILVER LINE THERE.

GIVE ME SOME COOL.

IT'S ALL GOOD.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE A SORT BREAK TO START COMING UNTIL WE CAN START OUR NEXT MEETING UNLESS WE HAVE, HOW HAVE WE POSTED THIS SEPARATELY? WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SEVEN 30 TO START.

OH, OKAY.

WE WERE TOO EFFICIENT.

AND WHAT'S INTERESTING THOUGH ABOUT THIS.

SO WE HAVE ALWAYS BUILT OURSELF AS THE MOST AUTHENTIC OKTOBERFEST OUTSIDE OF MUNICH.

UH, BUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT MUNICH HAS CANCELED THEIR EVENT THIS YEAR, WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE ARE THE MOST AUTHENTIC, TOTALLY BEST IN THE WORLD.

WE CAN TAKE THAT .

SO THERE IS THAT OCTOBER THAT'S THIS WEEK, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

AND THEN AND HAYDEN IS THE NEW, UM, PRESIDENT OF THE METRO CREST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND, UH, WHEN WELCOME HIM TO ADDISON.

SO I ASKED THE MIC OVER HERE TO ASK HIM, SO I'LL HAVE HIM INTRODUCE HIMSELF STANDING UP HERE.

I WROTE IN THE C, TEXAS EAST OF DALLAS, AND THEN I MADE MY WAY OUT TO ADAM, TO ABILENE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY SPENT ABOUT SEVEN TO EIGHT YEARS OUT THERE.

AND I LIVE IN THE CHAMBER WORLD.

I'VE WORKED WITH CHAMBERS IN THE PAST, BUT OVERALL WORKING FOR THE CHAMBER.

I'M NEW.

AND SO I'M EXCITED THAT THE TWO NEW THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT WORKING HERE IS COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS.

AND SO I'M EXCITED TO WORK WITH Y'ALL AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

BUT OVERALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU'VE MET AND YOU DON'T HAVE .

ANY MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS? LESS PUBLIC COMMENT.

AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER TWO, CONSIDERATION ON THE MINUTES FROM THE AUGUST 4TH, 20 TOTAL WINE SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO REVIEW AND DISCUSS THIS WITH YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PROPOSE BUDDY THIS 2, 3, 4, 5 IN THE CONCEPT THAT DID ANYTHING TO BE COOL, APPARENT LIKE PULL ITEM NUMBER TWO ON THE TWO.

CONSENT

[ Consent Agenda All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered routine by the City Council and will be enacted by one motion with no individual consideration. If individual consideration of an item is requested, it will be pulled from the Consent Agenda and discussed separately.]

DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR NUMBER THREE, FOUR AND FIVE SECONDS? SO I HAVE A TOGGLE ON WAY TO MOTION WAS SECONDED MONOCYTE AND IT ALL IN FAVOR TO OUR FOOD BILL THREE ITEMS, PLEASE SAY AYE.

THE AGENDA, MIDWAY DOWN THE PAGE.

ITEM NUMBER TWO.

[2. Consider Action on the Minutes from the August 4, 2021 Special City Council Meeting to Review and Discuss the Fiscal Year 2022 Proposed Budget. ]

YES, SIR.

THE REASON I PULLED OUT A NUMBER TWO IS IT IS THE MINUTES FROM THE AUGUST 4TH, 2021 SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 PROPOSED BUDGET.

AND I'M LOOKING AT PAGE 23 OF

[00:20:01]

AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ THIS ENTIRE PARAGRAPH.

IT'S A SHORT PARAGRAPH COUNCIL MEMBER.

WILLISON ASK HIM IF THIS WAS THE TIME TO DISCUSS AND HOW MUCH IN EACH ORGANIZATION WOULD BE AWARDED THE QUESTION.

THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSAL TO GRANT 5,000 VETERAN PEER SERVICES AFTER REVIEWING THEIR PROPOSAL.

AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED FOR MADISON, HE RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE FUNDING AMOUNT TO 2,500.

AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM WALNUT CREEK CROWED.

AND, UH, WHAT I WOULD ASK COUNCIL TO CONSIDER IS WE AMEND THAT LAST SENTENCE, UM, TO JUST SAY COUNCIL, UH, CONCUR, RATHER THAN JUST TO ME, WHICH IS WHAT WE DID.

I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER.

YEAH, WE WERE, UM, WE WERE DOING GRANT FUNDING AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE METRIC HERE, SERVICES, YOUR FUND.

UM, BASICALLY YOU AND I, PAUL SAID 2,500 TOM NODDED HIS HEAD ON THE VIDEO.

I SAID, YOU'LL PROBABLY PUT THE CONSOLE OR CONCUR, YOU KNOW, SINCE EVERYBODY.

SO I THINK THAT'S ALL I CAN JUST CHANGE IT FROM DEPUTY MAYOR CODE, TIM, ALL IT CONCURRED TO THE COUNCIL CONCUR AND THAT'S, UH, WITHOUT, UH, LIKE TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT WITH THAT.

IS THAT CLEAR MR. WEST? YES, IT IS.

STEVEN.

GREAT, THANK YOU MAYOR.

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, STEVEN GLICKMAN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

THIS IS OUR SECOND AND FINAL PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022, UH, BUDGET.

UH, THE FIRST, UH, SLIDE THAT WE HAVE HERE IS A STAFFING SUMMARY.

UH, THERE'S A, UH, ONE FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT INCREASE FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET.

THAT IS A NEW CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT IS PROPOSED IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS A GRAPHICAL VIEW OF THE LAST 10 YEARS OF STAFFING HISTORY.

YOU CAN SEE THIS YEAR 20 21, 299 0.8 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS.

THEN IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 PROPOSED AT 300.8.

THIS IS A TEN-YEAR VIEW THAT HAS MORE DETAIL, UM, UH, BY, UH, DEPARTMENT.

AND THEN BY FUND, UH, YOU CAN SEE AGAIN AT THE BOTTOM, UH, 299 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS, UH, AND THEN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022, A 300.8 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT ONE FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT INCREASE.

THIS IS THE OVERVIEW OF THE GENERAL FUND.

THE OUTSIDE OF THE CIRCLE IS WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM THE REVENUE OR THE INSIDE IS WHERE THE MONEY GOES, THE EXPENDITURES, UH, THE, UH, OUTSIDE, UH, LARGEST REVENUE SOURCES, PROPERTY TAXES AT $20.0 MILLION.

UH, SALES TAX IS $13.7 MILLION.

WE HAVE OTHER TAXES WHICH ARE MIXED BEVERAGE TAXES AT $1.2 MILLION, UH, FRANCHISE SPEEDS AT $2.1 MILLION.

THEN WE HAVE LICENSES AND PERMITS AND FINES AND PENALTIES ROUNDING OUT THE REVENUE SOURCES.

ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, WE HAVE A FELICE AT $12.1 MILLION IN THAT ALSO INCLUDES, UH, EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS.

AND WE HAVE GENERAL GOVERNMENT AND $0.3 MILLION, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT AT $9.1 MILLION, PARKS AND RECREATION AT

[00:25:01]

$6.3 MILLION, THE STREETS DEPARTMENT AT $2.1 MILLION AND THEN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AT $1.8 MILLION.

THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THAT, THAT OVERVIEW, UH, TOTAL REVENUE TOTAL IN $40.8 MILLION.

NOW WE HAVE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENDITURES OF $40.7 MILLION.

SO REVENUE IS JUST EXCEEDING EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022.

HERE'S A DIFFERENT GRAPHICAL VIEW OF, OF THE REVENUE SOURCES.

YOU CAN SEE THE LARGEST REVENUE SOURCES ADD THE WARM TAXES INCREASING SLIGHTLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

UH, YOU CAN SEE SALES TAXES.

THERE WAS A REDUCTION THERE IN THE FISCAL YEAR, 2021 BUDGET DUE TO A PANDEMIC.

YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS BACK IN LINE WITH HISTORICAL TRENDS, PRE PANDEMIC.

AND WHEN YOU CAN SEE OTHER SOURCES, MIXED BEVERAGE TAXES, GOING UP SLIGHTLY, UH, FRANCHISE FEES GOING DOWN SLIGHTLY, UH, LICENSES AND PERMIT SERVICE FEES AND OTHER SOURCES, UH, THERE AT THE END, UH, MOSTLY REMAINING STATIC.

THEN ON THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURE SIDE, BEING A SERVICE ORGANIZATION OF THE MAJORITY OF THE COST IS RELATED TO PERSONNEL.

UH, PERSONNEL SERVICES MAKE UP 63.9% OF THE GENERAL FUND, UH, PROPOSED BUDGET.

THEN CONTRACTUAL SERVICES ARE 19% OF THE BUDGET MAINTENANCE MAKES AT 9.4% AND THEN SUPPLIES MAKE UP 4% CAPITAL REPLACEMENT LEASE, MAKE IT 3.2% AND THEN CAPITAL OUTDATE MAKES THAT A 0.3% OF BUDGET.

UH, THIS IS THE SELF-FUNDED PROJECT FUND, UH, OVERVIEW.

UH, SO, UH, REVENUE, UH, REVENUE IS, UH, ANTICIPATED TO COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND, UH, THAT, THAT, UH, PROPOSED WITH THIS YEAR 2022, UH, WOULD NOT OCCUR UNTIL, UH, THE END OF THE YEAR, ASSUMING THAT REVENUES EXCEED EXPENSES, UH, THERE ARE EXPENSES BUDGETED OF, UH, $700,000.

UH, THOSE INCLUDE LONG RANGE PLANNING AT TRAILS AND BICYCLE, UH, PAP MASTER PLAN FACILITY, STUDY AND CONSOLIDATION.

UM, SO OVERALL, UH, THIS FUND CURRENTLY HAS A PROJECTED FUND BALANCE OF ABOUT $3 MILLION TO EMPHASIZE FOR YEAR 2021.

SO THIS IS UTILIZING FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM PREVIOUS YEARS.

AND THEN THIS IS A DETAILED LIST OF WHAT THOSE PROJECTS ARE.

SO THERE IS AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK UPDATE, A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN, REVIEW, A SPECIAL SERVICES CONSULTANTS, A COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE RELATED TO FORENSICS, OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, A BAILOUT RESCUE SYSTEM WHERE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, VEHICLE AND SUPPLIES FOR THE PROPOSED CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, A VEHICLE AND SUPPLIES GRADE, UH, TRASH AND PARKS GROUP.

WE HAVE, UH, LAY LOCKS, COURT CONVERSION, UH, SECOND PHASE OF A FACILITY STUDY AND CONSOLIDATION, A TRAILS MASTER PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, AND THEN LONG RANGE PLANNING SERVICES.

SO THE TOTAL FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 PROPOSED SELF-FUNDED PROJECTS IS $703,515.

AND THEN THIS IS A VIEW OF THE HOTEL FUND.

I'M SORRY, IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT LAST LINE REAL QUICK, THERE'S THE LAYOFFS COURT CONVERSION THAT IS A DIFFERENT NUMBER THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

SO, UH, AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, THERE WAS A PROPOSAL TO INCREASE THAT FUNDING BY $25,000.

SO THIS IS INCLUSIVE OF THAT, WHICH WAS, UH, TO INCLUDE FULL CONVERSION OF THE LA, UH, HOTEL FONDO REVIEW, UH, TOTAL REVENUE PROPOSED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO $7.4 MILLION.

$2 MILLION OF THAT IS PROPOSED TO COME FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.

TOTAL EXPENSES ARE $5.6 MILLION.

SO TOTAL REVENUE TO EXPENSES ANTICIPATED TO BE A $1.8 MILLION, WHICH IS JUST UNDER THE AMOUNT THAT WE ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AND THEN HOTEL FUND, UH, PROPOSED EXPENSES BY CATEGORY.

UH, MOST OF THE EXPENDITURES IN THE HOTEL FUND ARE RELATED TO CONTRACTUAL SERVICES, UH, DUE TO THE, UH, UM, THE EVENTS THAT THE TOWN HOSTS, UH, 67.9% OF THE HOTEL FUND, THE BUDGET IS RELATED TO CONTRACTUAL SERVICES.

AND THEN PERSONNEL SERVICES MAKE A 22.6% MAINTENANCE IS 6.1%.

AND THEN WE HAVE A CAPITAL REPLACEMENT LEASE 2.3% AND THEN SUPPLIES AT 1%, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND, A TOTAL REVENUE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE $1.2 MILLION

[00:30:01]

OF THE MAJORITY OF THAT, UH, COMES FROM PROPERTY TAXES.

UH, IN ADDITION TO THE REVENUE SHOWN, THERE IS A TRANSFER FROM THE HOTEL FUND, UH, APPROXIMATELY $380,000.

UH, TOTAL EXPENSES ARE $2 MILLION, WHICH MAKE UP, UH, OPERATIONS AT $1 MILLION, UH, TOURISM, UH, $800,000, AND THEN INCENTIVES OF APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE UTILITY OPERATING FUND.

TOTAL REVENUE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE $14.4 MILLION.

THAT INCLUDES A PROPOSED 2.5% INCREASE TO WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE CHARGES, WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE, UH, UTILITY RATES STUDY.

THE COUNCIL ADOPTED IN 2018.

UH, TOTAL EXPENSES ARE ALSO PROJECTED AT $14.4 MILLION.

UH, THE MAJORITY OF THOSE FUNDS GO TO PAY FOR PURCHASES OF WHOLESALE WATER AND THEN TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER.

UH, THE OTHER, UH, PORTIONS OF THAT ARE RELATED TO OPERATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $5 MILLION.

AND THEN THAT SERVICE IS ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

SO REVENUE JUST EXCEEDS TOTAL EXPENSES THAT ARE POSED, UH, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 IN THE UTILITY.

AND THIS IS A VIEW OF WHAT THAT TWO AND A HALF PERCENT THAT WARREN SEWER RATE CHANGE LOOKS LIKE FOR A CONSUMER THAT USES A 5,000 GALLONS OF WATER AND SEWER PER MONTH.

THEIR MONTHLY BILL WOULD GO UP ABOUT A DOLLAR AND 49 CENTS FOR A CONSUMER THAT USES A APPROXIMATELY 8,000 GALLONS PER MONTH OF WATER AND SEWER.

UH, THEIR MONTHLY BILL WOULD GO UP APPROXIMATELY $2 AND 19 CENTS PER MONTH.

AND THEN FOR A CONSUMER THAT USES APPROXIMATELY 10,000 GALLONS PER MONTH OF WATER AND SEWER, THEIR MONTHLY BILL WOULD GO UP APPROXIMATELY $2 AND 66 CENTS PER MONTH.

A STORMWATER OPERATING FUND.

THIS FUND GETS ITS REVENUE FROM A RATES THEY'RE ESTABLISHED, UH, VIA A, UH, A SCHEDULE.

AND, UH, THERE WAS AN ORDINANCE THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2018 AND FISCAL YEAR 2022, UH, IS THE LAST YEAR IT WAS ENCOMPASSED IN THAT ORDINANCE FOR RATE INCREASES FOR THIS FUND.

AND TOTAL EXPENSES ARE $1.6 MILLION.

THIS INCLUDES ABOUT $1.1 MILLION FOR OPERATIONS.

AND THE REMAINING $500,000 IS RELATED TO DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS.

SO OVERALL REVENUES THAT ARE EXCEEDING EXPENSES BY APPROXIMATELY $1 MILLION IN THE STORM WATER OPERATING, THEN WE HAVE OUR AIRPORT OPERATING FUND.

UH, REVENUE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE $7.1 MILLION.

UH, THESE, UH, FUNDING SOURCES ARE PRIMARILY FROM LISA'S AT $5.6 MILLION.

THEN WE HAVE SERVICE FEES, WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THE SERVICE FEES ARE RELATED TO, UH, FUEL FLOW HBS, UH, THOSE TOTAL $1.3 MILLION.

AND THEN WE HAVE A TOTAL EXPENSES OF $5.1 MILLION, WHICH INCLUDE OPERATIONS AT $4.2 MILLION, AND THEN DEBT SERVICE $0.9 MILLION.

SO OVERALL, UH, THERE IS, UH, OPERATING REVENUE IS EXCEEDING OPERATING EXPENSES BY APPROXIMATELY $2 MILLION FROM THE AIRPORT OPERATING FUND.

AND THEN THIS IS A VIEW OF THE FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SO FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022, THE PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET IS $47.2 MILLION.

THE MAJORITY OF THAT $33 MILLION COMES FROM THE GENERAL OBLIGATION AND CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, UH, BOND PROGRAMS. AND THEN WE HAVE $1.5 MILLION, UH, INCLUDED FROM THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT FUND $3.6 MILLION FROM THE UTILITY CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION BOND FUND.

AND WE HAVE A APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED THOUSAND FROM UTILITY FUND CASH RESERVES.

WE HAVE 700,000 FROM STORMWATER CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, UH, APPROXIMATELY 800,000 FROM STORMWATER FUND CASH RESERVES AND THEN AIRPORT GRANTS OF APPROXIMATELY $5.8 MILLION.

AND THEN AIRPORT FUND CASH RESERVES AT $1.6 MILLION.

AND IN TOTAL THAT MAKES UP THE $47.2 MILLION BUDGET, THE PROPOSED OR THE PROJECTED FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TOTALS $155.2 MILLION OVER THE FIVE YEARS.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE BUDGET, JUST TO REMIND YOU THAT THE ORDINANCE OR RELATED TO THE BUDGET MUST BE APPROVED BY A ROLL CALL IN OTHER THAN PAGE 10, WHERE WEST MENTIONED THAT THE CHANGE THAT YOU'VE MADE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER CHANGES TO THIS DOCUMENT FROM THE LAST TIME WE SAW, ACTUALLY THAT WAS, THAT WAS INCLUDED LAST TIME.

AS THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PRESENTATION THAT YOU, THAT YOU SAW SOMEONE WE COULD GO, BUT IT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS PROPOSED IN THE, WHAT WAS CONTAINED IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT I SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL ON JULY 31ST.

SO IT'S THE SAME

[00:35:01]

UNDERSTOOD.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? SO WE'VE ALREADY HEARD THIS MANY TIMES, UH, SAYS LYDIA GENTLEMEN, THIS ITEM IS LISTED POPPER HEARING.

IF ANYONE IN PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE DO THAT.

NOW, JUST KNOWING PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM TO HEREBY CAUSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, DO I HAVE MOTION? WE NEED TO HAVE THE OLD CALL.

ALL RIGHT, HERE, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE CIRCUIT.

SO I HAVE MOTION FROM PAUL WATERS, THE SECOND PHONE DOWN BROWN.

GREAT, THANK YOU AGAIN.

MAYOR, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, UH, STEVEN GLICKMAN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

UH, THIS IS THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING WHERE THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 A PROPOSED TAX RATE.

THIS IS A VIEW OF WHAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE APPROVAL PROCESS LOOKS LIKE.

SO BACK ON A MONDAY, JULY 26TH, UH, THE TOWN RECEIVED THE CERTIFIED TAXABLE VALUES FROM THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT, UH, B UH, ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 20TH.

UH, THERE WAS A NOTICE, UH, PUBLISHED, UH, A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE AND BUDGET, UH, FOR BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 27TH, THERE WAS A NOTICE THAT WAS PUBLISHED, UH, RELATED TO THIS HEARING, UH, ON A TAX INCREASE, UH, BACK ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH, UH, THAT WE HAD THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE IN THE BUDGET.

UH, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH FOR THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE AND THE BUDGET, AND ALSO, UH, FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR, 2022 BUDGET AND TAX RATE.

AND THEN OCTOBER 1ST, WHICH IS A FRIDAY, AND WE BEGIN THE FISCAL YEAR 2022, A NEW FISCAL YEAR.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE PROPERTY TAX VALUES AND TAX RATE.

UH, THE CERTIFIED TAXABLE VALUES, UH, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 WE'RE $5.08 BILLION, WHICH IS ABOUT $150 MILLION, UH, THAN THE CERTIFIED TAXABLE VALUES THAT WE'LL RECEIVE IN FISCAL YEAR 2020.

ONE OF THE CURRENT PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 IS 60.87 CENTS FOR $100 OF VALUATION OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 IS $61.47 DOLLARS PER $100 EVALUATION.

UM, AND THAT, UH, INCREASE THERE IS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO, UH, BONDS THAT WERE ISSUED IN AUGUST RELATED TO GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS THAT WERE APPROVED BY VOTERS IN BOTH FISCAL YEAR 2012, BACK IN 2012, AND THEN IN 2019.

UH, AND JUST ANOTHER NOTE THAT, UH, BASED ON DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL AT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, UH, RELATED TO THE BOND SALE THAT WAS, UH, HELD ON, UH, AUGUST 10TH, UH, WE FURTHER REDUCED, UH, THE INS PORTION OF THAT TAX RATE, UH, TO BRING THAT TOTAL TAX RATE DOWN TO THAT 61.66, UH, SEPARATE.

SO HERE'S A VIEW OF A PROPERTY TAX RATES FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.

YOU CAN SEE A FISCAL YEAR, 2022, UH, THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE, 54.8, FIVE 93 CENTS.

THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE WAS 67.95 CENTS.

AND THEN THE PROPOSED RATE IS AT 61.47 CENTS.

STEVEN, WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A COMMENT ON WHY THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 APPEARS TO BE LOWER THAN IT WAS FOR? RIGHT.

SO THERE'S

[00:40:02]

REALLY, THERE'S, THERE'S TWO REASONS WHY, WHY IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, IT WAS SELF HIGH.

AND THEN IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, IT WAS, SO IT IS SO LOW.

THE REASON IT WAS SO HIGH IN FISCAL YEAR 2021 WAS BECAUSE THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT WAS UNABLE TO CERTIFY THE ROLE, UH, BY JULY 25TH.

SO THEY GAVE US AN ESTIMATE WHICH WAS REALLY LOW COMPARED TO WHAT THE VALUES ENDED UP BEING, UH, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022.

THE RATE IS SO LOW ON THE NO NEW REVENUE SIDE, BECAUSE THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE NEW TAX RATE LAW THAT IF THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE PROCESS FOR LAWSUITS THAT ARE FILED AGAINST THE, AGAINST THEM, UH, BEFORE JULY 25TH, THAT THE VALUES FOR THOSE AS FAR AS TAX RATE CALCULATION PURPOSES REVERT TO THE OWNER'S OPINION OF THAT PROPERTY.

SO DUE TO THAT, UH, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THAT CALCULATION, THE TOWN LOST APPROXIMATELY $560 MILLION IN TAXABLE VALUE, UH, JUST FOR THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE CALCULATION.

DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? YEAH.

AND SO ESSENTIALLY, BECAUSE THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY STILL IN DISPUTE, WE HAVE, AND WE HAVE TO BY LAW AND USE THE VALUE THAT THE OWNERS SNEAK IS, UH, THE, THE, THE, THE PROPERTY IS VERSUS WHAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS.

THAT THAT IS THE ISSUE THAT IT'S, IT'S A QUARTER OF A LAW THAT IS CERTAINLY FAVORABLE TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS, NOT FAVORABLE TO CITIES.

AND IT CERTAINLY MAKES IT, IT MAKES THINGS WORK.

UM, LIKE WE'RE DOING BETTER THAN WE WOULD.

WE, THEN WE REALLY ARE MEANING, UH, OUR, OUR RAID, UM, IS A LOT LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE OF, OF THIS.

SO, RIGHT.

AND, AND I THINK AS I MENTIONED, UM, WHEN WE HAD THE, THE PUBLIC, NOT THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT THE, UH, THE WORKSHOP ON THE BUDGET, UH, ON AUGUST 4TH, THAT IF THIS WASN'T THE CASE, THAT, THAT THOSE PROPERTIES WERE IN DISPUTE AS OF JULY 25TH, THE NEW REVENUE RATE WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 61.70 CENTS, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE PROPOSED WHAT'S.

THE RATE WAS PROPOSED AS, AND WHAT THE RATE IS PROPOSED AS NOW WITH THE ADJUSTMENT THAT WAS MADE FROM THE LAST MEETING.

UH, AND THIS IS A VIEW OF, UH, PROPERTY TAX REVENUES.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, THREE FUNDS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PORTION OF THE TAX RATE.

UH, THOSE FUNDS, THE GENERAL FUND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT FUND THAT THEIR REVENUE IS INCREASING APPROXIMATELY 3.3%.

THEN WE HAVE THE DEBT SERVICE FUND, UH, WHICH IS INCREASING, UH, IN PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF NEW DEBT THAT WAS ISSUED ON AUGUST STEM.

UH, THAT IS A 6.71% INCREASE.

AND AGAIN, THAT IS RELATED TO, UH, PROJECTS THAT WERE APPROVED BY VOTERS IN BOTH 2012 TO 2019.

UH, SO TOTAL, UH, PROPERTY TAX REVENUE, UH, WHEN YOU COMBINE THOSE FOUR FUNDS TOGETHER, UH, IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE, UH, 4.04%.

AND THIS IS A 10 YEAR VIEW OF PROPERTY TAX RATES AROUND INTO THE NEAREST PENNY.

UH, OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, YOU CAN SEE PRETTY CONSISTENT OVER THAT TIME.

UH, AND, UH, THE LAST, UH, THREE YEARS THE, UH, UH, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS RATE HAS BEEN, UH, BASICALLY STABLE.

UM, THE LAST, UH, COUPLE OF YEARS, UH, DUE TO THE MAINLY THE 2019 BOND ELECTION, UH, THERE'S BEEN AN INCREASE, UH, ON THE INS SIDE OF THE TAX GROUP.

AND THEN THIS IS A COMPARISON OF THIS FULL YEAR, 2022 COMPARISON CITIES.

ALL OF THESE CITIES HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOR WHAT WAS PROPOSED IN THEIR BUDGET.

THIS MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE WHAT THEY ADOPT IN THEIR BUDGET.

AND THEN THESE ALSO ARE NOT ADJUSTED FOR A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, UH, THAT THE CITIES MAY OFFER.

THESE ARE STRICTLY THEIR TAX RATES COMPARED TO THE TOWN OF ADDISON STATUARY.

SO THE MEDIAN OF THESE TAX RATES IS 48.93 TO 8 CENTS.

THE MEAN IS 48.86 CENTS.

THIS IS THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION EXCEPT, UH, INSTEAD OF COMPARISON CITIES.

THIS IS DALLAS COUNTY, UH, CITIES.

UH, WHEN WE, WHEN WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, THERE WAS TWO CITIES THAT WE DID NOT HAVE INFORMATION

[00:45:01]

FOR THOSE HAVE SINCE BEEN UPDATED, UH, FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

UM, SO THIS IS, UH, UP-TO-DATE AGAIN WITH THE PROPOSED TAX RATE THAT EACH OF THESE CITIES ARE PROPOSING NOT NECESSARILY THE, THE TAX RATES THAT WOULD BE ADOPTED BY THESE CITIES.

SO THE MEDIAN, UH, PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR DALLAS COUNTY CITIES IS 66.50 CENTS.

AND THEN THE MEAN IS 62.39 CENTS.

AND AGAIN, THESE CITIES ARE ALSO NOT ADJUSTED FOR ANY HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS OR, UH, SENIOR EXEMPTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, UH, THAT THESE CITIES MAY OFFER, AND THEN THE IMPACT ON THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER.

AND SO THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE, UH, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 WAS 330, $4,993, UH, IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, THAT WENT UP TO $349,637.

UH, WHEN, WHEN MULTIPLIED BY THE PROPOSED TAX RATE, UH, THAT COMES OUT TO A TAX BILL OF $2,149 AND 8 CENTS, WHICH IS ABOUT $110 AND 6 CENTS MORE THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR OR ABOUT $9 AND 17 CENTS PER MONTH.

UH, THIS IS A VIEW OF FISCAL YEAR, 2022, UH, COMBINED PROPERTY TAX RATES, UH, FOR A RESIDENT OR BUSINESS WITHIN THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

UH, THERE ARE, UM, ONE OR TWO ENTITIES THAT HAVE NOT UPDATED THEIR TAX RATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022, YET, UH, PARKLAND HOSPITAL.

SO WE HAVE THEIR FISCAL YEAR, 2021 TAX RATE THERE.

AND THEN WE INCLUDED DALLAS COUNTY SCHOOLS IN THIS PRESENTATION AS WELL.

UH, THEIR TAX RATE HAS BEEN ONE SET FOR QUITE A WHILE.

UM, AND WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT CHANGING, BUT THIS WAS THEIR FISCAL YEAR, 2021 A ADOPTED TAX RATE.

SO THE TOTAL TAX RATE FOR, UH, A RESIDENT OR BUSINESS AND ADDISON, UH, RIGHT NOW WITH THE TWO THAT WE DON'T KNOW, UH, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 A WOULD BE 2.52 CENTS.

AND THAT'S ABOUT 2.70 CENTS LESS THAN WHAT IT WAS, UH, IN FISCAL YEAR 2021.

I'M SORRY, STEVEN, ON THAT LAST, HOW MUCH WAS ABOUT 2.7 AND SENTENCE? OKAY, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, JUST, UH, THIS, THIS PIE CHART SHOWS THE OLDER, THE, THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY TAX BREAK THAT WAS PROPOSED AS A REMINDER, WE'RE LOOKING AT A 61 46 6 0 NUMBER.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE TAX RATE.

AND THEN A REMINDER THAT THE TAX CODE REQUIRES THIS SPECIFIC MOTION FOR THE TAX RATE, UH, ORDINANCE.

AND THEN THIS ORDINANCE ALSO MUST BE ADOPTED VIA A ROLL CALL VOTE.

AND I WILL SAY ONE THING ABOUT THE MOTION THAT IS REQUIRED HERE WITH THAT, UH, CAUSE IT SAYS A EFFECTIVELY AGED 12.4% INCREASE THAT DIRECTLY RELATES TO THE ISSUE THAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED ARE RELATED TO PROPERTIES THAT ARE STILL IN THE SPIRIT OF LAWSUITS.

UM, AS MENTIONED, THIS WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE A FLAT TAX RATE IF YOU WERE COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES, HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SENATE, BILL TWO, THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2019, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT MOVING TARGETS ON BOTH ENDS.

WE HAVE MULTIPLE VARIABLES GOING INTO THE CALCULATION OF WHAT THIS, UH, WHAT THIS, UH, WHAT THE TAX CODE REQUIRES THE MOTION TO BE.

SO JUST, JUST TO NOTE ON THAT, ANY QUESTIONS, SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE SIPHONS LIST IS POPPY AS WELL.

IF ANYONE PUBLIC, WHICH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE DO THAT.

NOW NOBODY ON THE PHONE SAID, NO, I PROBABLY WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

I HEREBY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO I HAVE MOTION? IF YOU MAKE A MOTION, PLEASE READ EXACTLY AS IT'S SWEETENED.

AND YOU MENTIONED THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED OR THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF 0.6 1 4 6 6 0 PER $100 VALUATION, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY AT 12.04% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE.

I HAVE SECOND, SECOND EMOTION.

THE SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR TO APPROVE THIS, PLEASE SAY I SAID LOCAL.

DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM KENIA.

DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM WALDEN MAYOR, SORRY.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILSON.

[8. Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Property Tax Revenue Ratification Ordinance. ]

THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, STEVEN GLICKMAN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, UH, THE ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU IS TO RATIFY THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE INCREASE THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUDGET THAT YOU JUST ADOPTED.

AND THEN THE TAX RATE THAT YOU JUST ADOPTED, UH, THIS IS REQUIRED, UH, BECAUSE, UH, BY THE TAX CODE, UM, IF YOU ADOPT A BUDGET, UH, THAT GENERATES MORE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE OTHER THAN PREVIOUS YEAR.

SO THIS ORDINANCE IS SIMPLY REQUIRED TO RATIFY THAT ADDITIONAL REVENUE WITH THAT.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THIS.

WHAT DO I EMOTION SINCE THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING MOVE TO APPROVE THE MOTION AND SECOND FROM MODERN WELLS, ALL IN FAVOR TO APPROVE THIS, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

AYE, OPPOSED ATTEND NO

[9. Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on an Ordinance Amending Chapter 82 (Utilities), Section 82-76 and Section 82-77 of the Code of Ordinances of the Town by Amending Sewer Rates and Water Rates for All Customer Classifications; Providing that the Changes to the Sewer Rates and Water Rates Made Herein Shall be Applied to Monthly Customer Bills Beginning with the November 2021 Billing Cycle.]

PRESENT.

DISCUSS A CONSIDERATION ON THE ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 82 UTILITY SESSION, ANY 2 76 AND SECTION 82 77 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE TOWN BY AMENDING SURVEY AND WATER RATES FOR ALL CUSTOMER CLASSIFICATIONS, PROVIDING THAT THE CHANGES TO THE SOAR RATES AND WATER RATES MADE HERE IN SHALL BE APPLIED TO MOZLEY CUSTOMER BILLS BEGINNING WITH THE NOVEMBER, 2021 BILLING CYCLE.

STEVEN.

GREAT, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, STEVEN GLICKMAN, AND A CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, UH, THIS, UH, PROPOSED, UH, PRO UH, UM, UTILITY RATE INCREASE IS 2.5%, UH, ACROSS ALL CUSTOMER CLASSES, UH, FOR WATER AND SEWER.

UH, THIS IS, UH, IN LINE WITH THE RATE STUDY THAT COUNCIL THAT ADOPTED BACK IN 2018.

AND THIS IS ALSO PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET AROUND ADOPTED BUDGET.

THAT COUNCIL JUST ADOPTED, UH, IN ONE OF THE PREVIOUS ITEMS. SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD ABOUT THIS.

SO THIS IS THE FOURTH YEAR.

SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DID A STUDY BACK TO 2018.

SO WE ALLOCATED TO FIVE YEARS INQUIRIES, BUT THIS YEAR IS THE FOURTH YEAR, WHICH IS INQUISITIVE AND LEASED.

SO WE HAVE TO INCREASE THIS TO COVER ALL THE COSTS RELATED TO SERVING THEM.

SO IF YOU ALREADY THINK, YOU KNOW, UH, WATER RATE IS HIGH, YOU KNOW, AND I DO THE SAME.

SO I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I TURN OFF WHEN NEEDED TO SAVE WATER AND MAKE SURE DO THE WATER CONSERVATION.

SO DO I HAVE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND EMOTION FROM HOLLAND.

SECOND PHONE GQ ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE, OPPOSE.

I MEAN WE'RE, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I, I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING, THIS IS THE FINISHED THE, I GUESS, THE CULMINATION OF ANOTHER BUDGET YEAR.

AND SO I WANT TO SAY, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE, TO YOU AS THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN PROVIDING STAFF, THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO, UH, FULFILL, UH, YOUR PRIORITIES AND TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT, UH, THE RESIDENTS, UH, UH, REQUEST AND EXPECT FROM THE TOWN.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS WHO WORKED REALLY HARD TO, TO PRESENT INFORMATION TO ME AND THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGERS AND THE FINANCE TEAM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS.

SO THEY DID A REALLY GOOD WORK, UH, GOOD, BUT THEY DID REALLY GOOD WORK TO, TO PROVIDE THIS AND CAN, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THEIR FOCUS ON ALIGNING THEIR, UH, ACT OR THEIR OPERATIONS WITH THE COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES.

SO I WANTED TO SAY THAT.

AND THEN FINALLY, I WANTED TO SAY, THANK YOU A BIG THANK YOU TO STEVEN GLICKMAN, UH, KRISTEN SOLARIS AND ROSCOE, WHO ARE THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY DO THE DAY-TO-DAY WORK FOR OUR BUDGET.

UH, AMANDA TURNER ALSO IS INVOLVED WITH THAT AS WELL, BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THEM FOR THE REALLY GREAT WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE, HELPING ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS GET TO THIS POINT AND THEN PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN SUCH A PROFESSIONAL, A WAY THAT WE CAN PRESENT IT TO YOU AND HAVE A REALLY SUCCESSFUL BUDGET PROCESS.

SO STEVEN AND CHRIS AND MUGABE, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT

[00:55:01]

WORK.

AND I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF EVERYBODY.

ALSO.

I WANT TO ADD, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU WEST PEARSON AS CITY MANAGER, DEMONSTRATE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND GET THIS KNOW VERY PRUDENT MANNERS.

I THINK TOO, IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT TO, UM, TO SAY THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE, WHEN WE GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR BUDGET RESOURCES, IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT WE DO.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS KEEP THAT TOP OF MIND, THIS ISN'T, THESE AREN'T REALLY MILLION DECISIONS THAT WE JUST, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR MOOD CHANGES AND WE THROW MONEY HERE AND THERE IT'S VERY CALCULATED.

IT'S VERY INTENTIONAL.

AND IT IS, UH, THE FRUITS OF, OF THE ANNUAL LABOR THAT WE DO IN A SESSION CALLED STRATEGIC PLANNING.

AND OUR VISION IS TO BE A BENCHMARK CITY THAT THE OTHER CITIES LOOK TO US AND SAY, I WANT TO BE LIKE ADDISON, HOW THEY DO IT.

AND SO ALL OF THE DECISIONS REVOLVE AROUND THAT.

AND FOR THOSE THAT DON'T, MAYBE THEY DON'T SEE THE AGENDAS.

YOU KNOW, ALL, EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS BASED AROUND A MILESTONE OR A PILLAR THAT STEMS FROM STRATEGIC PLANNING.

AND THAT'S HOW COUNCILS BEFORE US AND BUILT A GREAT VALIDATION THAT WE'RE PIGGYBACKING ON.

AND I KNOW I CAN SPEAK ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, MOST OF US ARE EXTREMELY PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS AND TO HAVE WISE AS OUR, OUR LEADER AS THE CITY MANAGER.

AND, UM, I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE THAT, UM, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT JUST, UH, I ACCIDENT THAT THINGS ARE GOING ON.

THEY ARE.

SO THANK YOU, ORIENT MARTIN.

AGREE WITH ME ON THAT.

UM, UM, BUT, UM, YEAH, THAT'S THE LAST TIME I ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND IT'S A GREAT ONE TO END UP IN THEIR CAREER, UH, DO DIFFERENT CITIES, PUBLIC SERVICE.

SO, UM, IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE EASIER ONES.

AND I THOUGHT TOO, BECAUSE, BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE HOMEWORK WE DID AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DECIDED WE WANTED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS, RIGHT, SEVEN, UM, THAT'S, UH, AND DO IT REALLY WELL, EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FOR THE REST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR AND, UH, THE NEXT COUNCIL ELECTION HAPPENS, UM, WE JUST TO FULFILL THAT BUDGET.

SO, UM, I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

UH, I, I THINK THAT THE CITY IS IN GOOD HANDS.

UM, WE BUDGET CONSERVATIVELY, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE EXTRAORDINARY VALUE, EXTRAORDINARY VALUE FOR THE TAX DOLLARS THAT WE, THAT WE ASKED EACH OTHER TO PAY, AND WE'RE ASKING EACH OTHER TO PAY THIS.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND, UH, I'M MOST APPRECIATIVE OF THE, UH, UH, THE COLLEGIAL ATTITUDE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE ALL ENJOY AND ABLE TO, UH, HONESTLY, AND OPENLY EXPRESS OUR OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS.

AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB WE HAVE.

AND I THINK WE SERVED OURSELVES.

WE SERVE OUR COMMUNITY WELL AND PROVIDED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT INPUTS INTO THIS.

AND SO, UH, I'M MUCH, I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO LET GO VERSUS COMMENTS ABOUT WITH REGARD TO STAFF.

UM, I THINK DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE THEM, UH, THE RESOURCES THAT THEY THOUGHT REALLY CONSERVATIVE, THOUGHTFULLY REQUEST.

AND, UM, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M, UH, I'M QUITE SPOILED BY LIVING AT A SIMPLE AND, UH, AND I CAN, UH, WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE TO BEING SPOILED.

SO, UM, MY, MY, MY GRATITUDE ALSO WAS THANK YOU SO MUCH W WEST I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT THE STAFF ALSO, BUT THIS IS MY FOURTH YEAR OF GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND THERE'S A LOT TALLER AND YOU'RE, UH, WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE, UH, THE STAFF AND YOU, UH, HELP US UNDERSTAND THIS AND COME THROUGH IT, UH, CONGRATULATE YOU ON DOING A GREAT JOB, THE WHOLE STAFF.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS SEEMS LIKE THE SMOOTHEST ONE THAT WE'VE HAD IN MY FOUR YEARS.

I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID.

UM, EXCEPT FOR SOMETHING PAUL SAID, AND THIS IS MY FOURTH YEAR ALSO,

[01:00:01]

UM, NO, WE'VE ALREADY PUT IN THE WORK.

AND SO WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S COMING.

IT'S, IT'S ALMOST LIKE MIDWAY ROAD, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, IT'S A BIG DEAL, BUT WE'VE ALREADY PUT IN THE WORK.

SO WE GET THERE TO MAKE THE VOTE.

WE'RE, WE'RE ALL COMFORTABLE WITH IT AND THAT'S THE WAY IT FEELS RIGHT NOW.

SO YOU UNDERSTAND DATA.

[10. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on an Ordinance Changing the Zoning on a 1.24 Acre Property Located at 14999 Montfort Drive, from Local Retail (LR) to a Planned Development (PD) District with modified LR District Standards, and Approving a Special Use Permit for a Restaurant with the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption Only. Case 1832-Z/Loro Asian Smokehouse.]

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER CHANGING THE ZONING ON THE ONE BODY TO A FOUR ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 4 9 9, 9 MUMFORD DRIVE FROM LOCAL RATE LEVEL OR TO A PLANT DEVELOPMENT PD DISTRICT WITH A MODIFIED ARR DISTRICT STANDARDS AND PROVING THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A RESTAURANT WITH THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION ONLY, AND THE CASE NUMBER Y H E Z LOG PATIENTS SMOKE HOUSE.

THEM DO, UH, IS, UH, YOU SEE, BUT LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ALONG IN THE PARKING LOCKS ALONG MOUNT FOR DRIVE.

GETTING THE MERITS TO THE COUNCIL, KENNY SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN ADDISON.

UH, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A 1.24 ACRE PROPERTY.

IT'S LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF MUNFORD DRIVE 300 FEET SOUTH OF BELTLINE ROAD.

UH, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO REZONE, UH, FROM THE LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, UH, WITH MODIFIED LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT STANDARDS, AND ALSO TO GRANT A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RESTAURANT, AS WELL AS THE SALE OF ALCOHOL FOR ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION.

UH, THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS ONCE AGAIN, TO ADOPT MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO OFF STREET PARKING, UH, OUTSIDE STORAGE AND REQUIRED LANDSCAPE AREA AND LANDSCAPE OFFERS.

SO THOSE MODIFIED STANDARDS ARE PRESENTED TO YOU TONIGHT, UH, IN THE FORM OF TEXTS AS PART OF AN ORDINANCE, AND THEN ALSO SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT DETAILED HOW THE SITE WOULD BE DEVELOPED.

SO THERE IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF HISTORY ON THIS SITE.

UH, SEVERAL SCPS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED OVER THE YEARS MOST RECENTLY IN 1996 TO ACCOMMODATE, UH, THE FORMER, UH, BUSINESS, UH, SITUATED IN THE BUILDING AT THE SITE OF FLYING SAUCERS.

AND THAT SUP WAS FOR A RESTAURANT, UH, WITH ALCOHOL SALES FOR ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION ONCE AGAIN.

SO VERY SIMILAR USE.

UH, SO WHAT'S PROPOSED TO NIGHT IS TO REDEVELOP THE SITE, UH, TO REMOVE THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS ON THE SITE.

AND THEN TO CONSTRUCT A NEW RESTAURANT.

THE APPLICANT IS ID STUDIO FOR, UH, THEY'RE REPRESENTING A HIGH HOSPITALITY.

HIGH HOSPITALITY IS A RESTAURANT GROUP THAT IS AUSTIN BASED, UH, AND THEY PROPOSE, UH, A RESTAURANT CONCEPT CALLED LORO ASIAN SMOKEHOUSE.

LAURA IS A FUSION OF TWO OF ALL OF TEXAS'S MOST HIGHLY REGARDED CHEFS, CHEF, UH, TYSON COLE, UH UCHI AND CHICO, UH, BOTH AUSTIN CONCEPTS THAT HAVE, UH, SPREAD THROUGHOUT TEXAS AND OTHER PLACES IN THE COUNTRY AS WELL.

AND THEN ALSO, UH, AARON FRANKLIN OF FRANKLIN'S BARBECUE, WHICH IS ALSO AUSTIN BASED.

SO ONCE AGAIN, UH, THIS PROPOSED USE IS A RESTAURANT AND THEY'RE SEEKING AN SEP TO ESTABLISH THAT RESTAURANT SPACE AND, UH, SPECIFIC TO THE PDA ZONING.

UH, REALLY THE PDD ZONING WAS NEEDED TO MODIFY SEVERAL CONDITIONS THAT, UH, CURRENTLY ARE APPLIED THROUGH THE EXISTING ZONING, THE LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT.

UH, SO, UH, THE PRIMARY NEED THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANTS, UH, FOR THIS SITE, BECAUSE IT IS A, UH, REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

UM, IT IS CERTAINLY IMPACTED BY THE EXISTING SITE CONSTRAINTS.

SO PARKING WAS ONE OF THOSE CONSTRAINTS.

UM, THE PARKING PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT IS, UM, ONE SPACE PER 100 SQUARE FEET OF SURFACE AREA.

SO THAT PARKING RATIO DIFFERS FROM THE STANDARD LOCAL RETAIL, UH, PARKING STANDARD IN THAT THAT REQUIRES ONE SPACE PER 70 SQUARE FEET OF FLOOR AREA.

SO THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR REDUCED PARKING.

I WOULD NOTE THAT THIS PROPOSED PARKING RATIO IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE DRAFT UDC, AND IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE, UH, IN SOME, UH, SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO ADDISON THE NEXT, UM, UH, ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WAS THE TREATMENT OF

[01:05:01]

OUTSIDE STORAGE.

SO THIS IS A, UH, BARBECUE FUSION CONCEPT.

AND SO THEY WILL HAVE SMOKERS ONSITE.

AND AS YOU COULD WOULD ANTICIPATE WITH THE SMOKER, YOU NEED WOODSTONE ONSITE.

UH, SO, UH, FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO STORE WOOD OUTSIDE, UH, AND WHAT THEY PROPOSE TO TREAT THAT AS IS THAT IT WOULD BE SCREENED AND YOU'LL SEE IN THE FACADE PLAN THAT THEY HAVE A FENCED IN AREA THAT FULLY SCREENS THAT WOULD, THAT STORED OUTSIDE.

AND THEN THE LAST, UH, ACCOMMODATIONS THAT REQUIRED THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT RELATED REALLY TO THE MUNFORD DRIVE STREET SCAPE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO EVER WHO'VE EVER WALKED THAT STREET, IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE LEAST COMFORTABLE WALKS IN ADDISON.

UM, SO ADDRESSING THAT AND IMPROVING THAT REQUIRED THEM TO, UM, MAKE SOME ACCOMMODATIONS THERE, UH, ALL THE WAY ON LIMITED AMOUNT OF AREA, IF YOU WERE TO ACCOMMODATE A RESTAURANT USE AND ALSO ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING THAT IS REQUIRED FOR OUR RESTAURANT USE, THEY HAD TO BALANCE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE TOWNS OR PLAN ADDRESSING SIDEWALK WITH THE DRUG SCENE LANDSCAPE OFFERS AND ADDRESSING LANDSCAPING ADJACENT TO THE PARKING LOT.

UH, STAFF FEELS THAT THEY'VE DONE AN APPROPRIATE TREATMENT THERE, AND WE DO SUPPORT THE TREATMENT, WHICH I'LL GET INTO MORE DETAIL WITH SHORTLY.

SO THE, UH, RESTAURANT FLOOR PLAN ACCOMMODATES, UH, 7,764 SUITE SQUARE FEET OF TOTAL FLOOR AREA, UH, JUST OVER 4,800 SQUARE FEET IS AIR CONDITIONED AREA.

AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY, UM, UH, INFLUENCES THE CHARACTER AND THEME OF THIS CONCEPT IS THERE IS A LOT OF OUTDOOR SPACE.

SO YOU DO HAVE A COVERED PATIO, WHICH YOU SEE, UM, ACTUALLY TO THE LOWER LEFT OF THIS FLOOR PLAN.

AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE AN UNCOVERED PATIO, WHICH YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR PLAN.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, YOU HAVE A WAITING AREA THAT IS NOT FULLY DEPICTED HERE.

WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS A COMPONENT OF THAT WAITING AREA, WHICH IS, UH, AN OUTDOOR BAR SERVICE AREA THAT SERVES CUSTOMERS THAT ARE WAITING FOR SEATING ONSITE.

UH, SO WITH THAT, UH, FOR AREA, UH, IT DOES ACCOMMODATE SEATING FOR 282 GUESTS, 164 OF THAT CAPACITY IS ACCOMMODATED, UH, IN THE INTERIOR AND THEN 118, UH, SEATS ARE ACCOMMODATED ON THE EXTERIOR.

SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, THEY DO PROPOSE A PARKING RATIO OF ONE SPACE PER A HUNDRED SQUARE FEET OF SERVICE AREA.

SO WITH THAT, UH, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 78 PARKING SPACES AND THEY PROVIDED 80 PARKING SPACE AND IT'S EXCEEDING REQUIRED BY TWO SPACES.

AND THEN WITH THE SITE LANDSCAPE AREA, THE BASE STANDARD IN OUR CODE IS TO PROVIDE FOR 20% OF THE GROSS AREA OF THE SITE LANDSCAPE AREA, EXISTING CONDITION AT THE SITE.

NOW IT'S 17.6%.

THEY PROPOSE TO INCREASE THAT BY 18.1%.

AND SOME OF THE ACCOMMODATIONS THEY MADE TO JUSTIFY THAT IS ONE, THE PRIVATE AREAS THAT ARE HEAVILY LANDSCAPED, BUT MAY NOT NECESSARILY ALL COUNT TOWARDS THAT 20% LANDSCAPE AREA.

AND THEY'VE ALSO PROVIDED ADDITIONAL TREE PLANTINGS, UH, IN THOSE PRIVATE AREAS, UH, THAT WE FEEL WILL ADD A CHARACTER, NOT ONLY TO THE RESTAURANT, BUT TO THE SURROUNDING AREA AS WELL.

UM, ALSO WITH THIS, UH, UH, WANT TO FOCUS ON THE STREETSCAPE.

UM, THEY DID HAVE TO BALANCE THE NEEDS BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND SIDEWALK WITH AND PEDESTRIAN COMFORT, AND WE FEEL THAT THEY LANDED GOOD SPOT.

UH, SO THE TOWN'S THOROUGHFARE PLAN REQUIRES A SIX FOOT SIDEWALK.

THEY HAVE ACHIEVED THAT WHERE THE SITE CONDITIONS CURRENTLY MAKE WALKING IN THAT AREA VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IS THE FACT THAT THE SIDEWALK IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF MONTFORT DRIVE.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BUFFER.

SO WITH THEIR PROPOSED STREETSCAPE, THEY DID PROVIDE A FREE FOOT BUFFER BETWEEN THE SIDEWALKS AND THE, UH, TRAVEL AWAY FROM ON FOR DRIVE.

AND THEY PROPOSED TO PROVIDE SHRUBBERY IN THAT BUFFER TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE PEDESTRIAN COMFORT, UH, TO THE WEST OF THE SIDEWALK BETWEEN THE PARKING LOT AND THE SIDEWALK.

THEY HAVE A RETAINING WALL AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL TWO FEET OF LANDSCAPE AND WHERE THEY'LL HAVE SHRUBS, UH, THAT WILL SCREEN THE PARKING AREA AS WELL.

AN ADDITIONAL FEATURE THAT WE HAD

[01:10:01]

SO WE HAD THEM PLANT CANOPY TREES AND HAVE A, PROBABLY A MORE AGGRESSIVE LANDSCAPE ISLAND TREATMENT IN THAT PARKING LOT TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE FACT THAT THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY ENOUGH BUFFER WITH IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE CURB, TO PLANT TREES.

WHAT I WOULD SAY TO ADDRESS THAT THOUGH IS MUMFORD DRIVE IS ON THE TIME CIP.

UH, WE DO, UM, UH, WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM.

UH, WE ARE ENCOURAGING THEM TO LOOK AT THE, UH, ULTIMATE WITH THE MUNFORD DRIVE TO SEE IF AND WHEN THAT ROADWAY IS RECONSTRUCTED, IF THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO RECLAIM A FEW MORE FEET TO ADD TO THAT BUFFER AREA.

AND IF THAT COULD BE ACHIEVED AND SAY, IT GROWS TO FROM THREE FEET TO FIVE FEET, WE COULD EVENTUALLY GET SOME STREET TREES IN THAT BUFFER SHIRT AS WELL TO MAKE THAT AN EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE WALK AND TO REALLY MAKE THAT AREA FULLY COMPLY WITH THE TALENTS.

THIRD THOROUGHFARE.

ONE OF THE OTHER UNIQUE THINGS WITH THE, UH, LAURASIA AND SMOKE HOUSE CONCEPT IS THEIR ARCHITECTURE.

SO THEIR THEME IS TEXAS DANCE HALL.

SO, UM, WHAT THAT COMES WITH IS YOU HAVE A FACADE THAT HAS A LARGE, UH, FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF BOARD AND BATTEN SIDING.

UH, THEY'VE SUPPLEMENTED THAT WITH A MIX OF BRICK, MASONRY, CMU BLOCK, AND CONCRETE.

AND, UH, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THAT IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, UH, THEY HAVE AN EXISTING SPACE, UM, IN EAST DALLAS, WHICH JUST RECENTLY OPENED, UH, THEY'RE ALSO IN AUSTIN.

UM, BUT LOOK AT THE WEBSITE, YOU CAN REALLY SEE IT, IT'S A DISTINCTIVE CONCEPT AND IT REALLY DRIVES HOME THEIR REQUESTS FOR THAT BOARD AND THAT, AND SIGN IT CITING ASSAD.

WHAT I WOULD SHARE IS THAT, UH, WITH THE EXISTING BUILDING, UM, BEING PRIMARILY SIDING, UH, THIS PROPOSED FACADE WHILE IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE WOULD SEE WHEN WE COULD REGULATE MASONRY, IT IS, DOES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN BASE MURRAY FROM THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

SO, UM, THIS FACADE WILL PROVIDE SOME UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE AND, UH, STAFF DOES FEEL THAT IT MEETS THE INTENT OF HOW THE TOWN HAS TRADITIONALLY REGULATED ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER.

UH, SO WITH THIS REQUEST, UH, TOWN, UH, STAFF IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, TOWN AND STATE LONG NOTIFIED THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 700 FEET, UH, OR EXCUSE ME, 200 FEET.

AND SEVEN, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS RECEIVED THOSE NOTICES.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION OF SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION FROM THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS.

UM, AT THE AUGUST FINDINGS ZONING COMMISSION MEETING THE COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST BY A VOTE OF SIX TO ZERO.

AND THEY PROVIDED SEVERAL CONDITIONS SUPPORTING, UH, THAT VOTE, UH, FIRST BEING NO TERMS OR GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS THAT RELATE TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND ANY EXTERIOR SIGNAGE.

AND THEN ALSO, AS YOU'VE SEEN IN RECENT CASES, UM, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT, UM, PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SEP ORDINANCES, UH, 4 30 0 9, 5 0 3, 2 ARE REPEALED IF THIS IS TO BE ADOPTED.

SO STAFF, UH, ONCE AGAIN DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST WITH THOSE CONDITIONS THAT, UH, THE COMMISSION SUPPORTED.

AND WE DO HAVE SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE APPLICANT WITH US IN PERSON THIS EVENING, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I'D LOVE TO HEAR ANYTHING THEY CARE TO SHARE, OR THEY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT HERE.

SO STAY WITH ME.

UH, RANDY BARNETT, UH, ONE FOR UP HERE COMES BOUNCE, TEXAS.

I AM A STUDIO DIRECTOR FOR THIS PROJECT THAT I HAVE USED TO DO BEFORE.

UM, WE HAVE HAD A GREAT TIME WORKING WITH THE CITY AND THE STAFF TO GET THIS OVER THE HURDLE OF GETTING THIS APPROVED.

WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING THERE, UH, ON THE GRAND OPENING BECAUSE THE FOOD IS AWESOME.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE AT THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY SOFT OPENING BEFORE THE OFFICIAL OPENING ALSO DEAL WITH PAIN TO RECONSTRUCT.

UM, LATE SPRING, NEXT YEAR, WE STILL HAVE TO GET THROUGH DRAWINGS AND SUBMITTING TO THROUGH THE CITY FOR BUILDING PERMIT AND A FEW OTHER HURDLES BEFORE WE CAN START CONSTRUCTION, HOPEFULLY IN DECEMBER.

SO SIX MONTHS.

EXACTLY.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, EMAIL QUESTION.

[01:15:02]

I READ IT TO ME.

I GOOGLE AUSTIN FIRST.

DALLAS HOUSTON IS YES.

HOUSTON OPEN, UH, UH, FOUR MONTHS.

THIS IS COOL.

THANKS.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS THIS ITEMS POP HEARING, IF ANYONE IN POPPY WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE DO SO WE HAVE ANYBODY ON THE PHONE.

NO, SIR.

NO.

YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS COURSE.

JUST CURIOUS.

WE ALWAYS DO AN EXECUTIVE PIECE FOR ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION, BUT WITH THE, WITH THE RECENT LAW CHANGE, UM, TELL ME, JUST GIVE ME A BRIEF UPDATE ON THAT.

SO THERE WILL BE MORE TO FOLLOW ON THE SUBJECT AND THEN ALSO TIES IN WITH THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OF PROJECTS.

SO, UM, OVER THE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN CHANGES IN STATE LAW, UM, INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT ONE THAT, UM, CONFLICT WITH HOW ADDISON DOES AND HAS TRADITIONALLY REGULATED, UH, THE SALE OF ALCOHOL AND RESTAURANTS OR OTHER, UH, FACILITIES.

UM, SO THERE WILL BE IMPACTS RELATED TO THAT, UM, BECAUSE WE HAVE A MUCH OLDER CODE AND WE HAVE NOT CHANGE THAT SEGMENT OF THE CODE, UM, IN, UH, QUITE SOME TIME, UH, THE MAJOR CHANGES THAT THE STATES IMPLEMENTED YEARS AGO, UH, HAVE NOT IMPACTED ADDISON, BUT ONCE WE ADOPT THE NEW UDC, THAT LIKELY WILL IMPACT ADDISON.

AND SO HOW DO WE APPROACH THIS, THAT ISSUE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE AS WELL.

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT WE COULD STILL LIMIT IT TO ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION.

SO WE'RE IN CONFLICT WITH STATE LAW, BUT ONCE WE CHANGE THE UDC, UH, WE WON'T HAVE, UH, WE WON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BE IN CONFLICT WITH STATE LAW, OR IS THIS PANDEMIC STATE ALLOW RESTAURANTS TO LET THE CUSTOMER TAKE ONE BEER AND THEN EVEN MARGARITA.

SO, UH, BUT IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THAT GOVERNMENT EVER ALREADY MADE THE CHANGES, IS THAT CORRECT? I DON'T THINK THE GOVERNOR, I THINK IT WAS THE LEGISLATURE THAT MADE THE CHANGE, BUT YEAH, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN CHANGES MADE BY THE LEGISLATURE THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE IT DURING THE PANDEMIC BEFORE THE LEGISLATIVE ACTION, THERE WAS A SUSPENSION OF STATE LAW THAT WOULD ALLOW THE CARRY OUT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

BUT SINCE THEN, I THINK THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS ACTUALLY INACTIVE NEW LAW THAT THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THAT THAT DOES ALLOW FOR OFF PREMISE CONSUMPTION.

ONE THING I WOULD ADD FROM A, AN ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT, THE PRACTICALITY OF, OF MY TEAM OR OTHER MEMBERS OF TALENT STAFF BEING ABLE TO ENFORCE US, NOT ALLOWING FOR THAT SERVICE TO BE PROVIDED.

IT'S, IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHALLENGE.

THEY'RE VERY KIND OF WAY TO SAY, ALL RIGHT, DO I HAVE A MOTION? I WANT TO MOVE APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITIONS, UM, LISTENING.

AND I WANT TO WELCOME THESE GUYS TO ADDISON.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE, WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS AND ADDISON OF REDEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, AND SO WE HAVE TO, I LIKE OUR STAFF DID, THEY'RE KIND OF BEING CREATIVE ABOUT WAYS TO GET WHAT WE WANT IN THE END AND A GREAT NEW FACILITY.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UM, SO I'M LIKE, OKAY, AND EMOTION SACRIFICE ELSA, WHILE YOU FAVOR APPROVE THIS CONDITIONS.

PRE SAY, I POST WHICH RELATIONS

[01:20:04]

TO TAKE AND TASTE

[11. Present, Discuss and Consider Action on a Resolution to Nominate a Surburban Cities' Representative to the Dallas Central Appraisal District Board of Directors. ]

11TH, PRESENT, DISCUSS, CONSIDER ACTION, A RESOLUTION TO NOMINATE A SUBURBAN CITIES REPRESENTATIVE TO THE DUTCH CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS, MAYOR, AND COUNCIL, HERMAN PARKER, CITY SECRETARY, UM, MICHAEL HERC HAS BEEN SERVING IN THIS POSITION, UH, FOR TWO YEARS ALREADY.

WE WANTED HIM, UH, W LONG AT THE OTHER CITIES.

UH, TWO YEARS AGO, HE HAS INDICATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO BE REAPPOINTED.

AND, UH, STAFF IS AS PREPARED THIS RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE HIS FOR EQUIPMENT, PROBABLY THIS GOING TO BE HIS THIRD TERM.

UH, HE SERVED AS THE FORMER MAYOR OF THE SOUL IS A VERY HUMBLE GUY AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.

I KNOW HIM QUITE A WELL.

SO, UH, SINCE HE ALREADY EXPRESSED THIS IS GOING TO BE HIS LAST TERM.

SO AS YOU ADD THE DESCRIPTION, YOU KNOW, UM, THERE ARE FIVE BOARD MEMBERS, WIVES FOUND DALLAS COUNTY, ONE FROM THE ISD, WHICH IS, UH, EDWIN FLORENCE.

NO IS THE EDISON OLD SCORES, RESIDENT FLORES, YOU KNOW, HE'S APPOINTED, HE WAS APPOINTED BY DSD, THEN ONE APPOINTED BY CITY OF DALLAS.

AND THAT ONE WILL BE ELECTED BY SUBURBAN CITIES.

SO MY WHOLE HERD IS THE ONE WHO WILL BE SELECTED BY SUBURBAN SEATS.

TO TALK, PRESENT, DISCUSS, CONSIDER ACTION ON A RESOLUTION, CONFIRMING THE TASK IN 10 TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2021 NATIONAL FITNESS GRANT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO IT AS SUCH DOCUMENTS AS MAYBE NECESSARY TO CONFIRM THE TOWN'S PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.

THIS RESOLUTION NOMINATING HIM AS THE SUBURBAN CITIES RENT-A-CENTER.

SO THERE WOULD, THEY WOULD SUBSEQUENTLY BE IF HE WERE THE NOMINATION NOMINEE, UH, FOLKS THEY'VE HAD TO TAKE PLACE THAT WE WOULD BRING BACK FROM.

SO DO I HAVE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION, TO NOMINATE MICHAEL WITH HERTZ OR TO BE ON THEIR SECOND NIGHTMARE, HAUL WATER AND GIVE SECONDED AND ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY, I PROPOSE, I TEND

[12. Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Resolution Confirming the Town's Intent to Participate in the 2021 National Fitness Grant Program; and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Such Documents as May Be Necessary to Confirm the Town's Participation in the Program.]

[13. Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Resolution Approving the Purchase of Outdoor Fitness Court Equipment from National Fitness Campaign LLC In Connection with the City's Participation in the 2021 National Grant Program; and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Grant Match in the Form of a Purchase Order for the Fitness Equipment in an amount not to exceed $124,265.00]

SO, UH, I LIKE TO READ NUMBER 13 AS WELL CAUSE RELATED.

SO WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED, YOU'RE PRESENT, YOU CAN PRESENT BOTH AS IN TIME.

THEN WE APPROVE THAT ONE AT THE TIME.

ITEM NUMBER 13, PRESENT DISCUSSED IN A CONSIDERED ACTION ON THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF OUTDOOR FITNESS COURT EQUIPMENT FROM NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN.

AND I'LL SEE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CD'S AND PARTICIPATION IN THE 2021 NATIONAL BREADTH PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ASK YOU TO GRANT MATCH IN THE FORM OF A PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE FITNESS EQUIVALENT IN AMMAN, NOT TO EXCEED $124,265 GEN MARY MARY COUNCIL.

JANET SAID, WELL, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION.

WELL, LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.

UM, MAYOR AND COUNCIL JANITOR, WELL DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION FOR THE TOWN.

UM, GIVE ME ONE MOMENT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I AM SHARING MY SCREEN.

LET ME DO THAT REAL QUICKLY.

I'M BRINGING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, UM, TWO ITEMS IS THE MAYOR HAD MENTIONED, ONE OF THEM IS TO RECEIVE YOUR GRANT TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

AND THE OTHER ONE IS FOR THE PURCHASE OF OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT, UM, STAFF APPLYING FOR A GRANT BY NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN.

AND, UM, IT'S ALSO FACILITATED BY THE TEXAS RECREATION AND PARKS SOCIETY.

THE GRANT IS FOR $25,000 AND IT IS TO BE APPLIED FOR THE USE OF OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

THE REASON THAT STAFF APPLIED FOR THIS GRANT IS BECAUSE IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL IN APRIL OF 2019, A SITE RECOMMENDATION

[01:25:01]

WAS TO INSTALL OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT, UM, NEAR OR ADJACENT TO LAY LOGS PARK.

UM, SUBSEQUENTLY STAFF ALSO PRESENTED TO THE CITIZENS OF ADDISON, A BOND ELECTION PROPOSITION C THAT INCLUDED THE ADDITION OF THE OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

AND THAT ELECTION WAS PASSED BY VOTERS.

IT'S PRESENTATION, HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THIS COMPUTER, UM, IN ORDER TO SELECT THE OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT STAFF VISITED AREA, UM, PARKS IN THE METROPLEX, WE WENT TO LEWISVILLE MCKINNEY, XE AND CEDAR HILL TO LOOK AT THREE DIFFERENT FITNESS EQUIPMENT VENDORS, UM, TO COMPARE THEIR PRODUCTS AND IDENTIFY ONE THAT WOULD NOT ONLY BE DURABLE, BUT OFFER THE WIDEST RANGE OF FITNESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUT OF SOME RESIDENTS.

AS WE, UM, INSPECTED THE PRODUCTS, ONE, ONE FITNESS COURT STOOD OUT TO US AND IT WAS BY NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN.

UM, THE REASON THAT THAT ONE STOOD OUT TO STAFF IS IT HAS OVER A THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF WORKOUT AREA.

28.

PEOPLE CAN WORK OUT WITH THE EQUIPMENT AT ONE TIME AND IT INCLUDES 30 PIECES.

UM, IT'S A SYSTEM THAT'S COMPOSED OF SEVEN MOVEMENTS THAT CAN BE DONE IN SEVEN MINUTES.

UM, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY STUCK OUT TO US IS HOW ADORABLE THE ITEMS WERE THAT WERE MADE.

THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

UM, THE PARTS THAT COULD DEGRADE AND NEED TO BE REPAIRED OR MAINTAINED OR THINGS THAT WE DID BUY VERY EASILY.

UM, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO ORDER THEM.

WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT ON THEM TO ARRIVE.

SO THOSE WERE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT JUMPED OUT TO US ABOUT THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT.

SO AS WE FINISHED OUR SELECTION PROCESS, WE BECAME AWARE THAT NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN ACTUALLY OFFERED A GRANT IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRAPS.

THEY MAKE THAT A GRANT AVAILABLE FOR 20 CITIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THIS YEAR.

UM, WE APPLIED ADDISON SCORED VERY HIGHLY.

UM, SOME OF THE CRITERIA WAS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PARK USERS THAT WE HAVE IN THE AREA.

UM, THE WAY THAT WE MAINTAIN OUR EQUIPMENT, UM, IN OUR PARKS.

AND SO WE SCORE VERY HIGHLY IN ALL OF THOSE.

AND WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE THE GRANT, UM, OR THAT WE WERE QUALIFIED FOR THE GRANT.

AND IT WAS $25,000 THAT COULD BE APPLIED TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF THE EQUIPMENT.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS, UM, THAT WAS VERY APPEALING TO US REGARDING THE EQUIPMENT WAS, UM, THAT THERE'S A GRAPH, THERE'S A LARGE STRUCTURAL WALL ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT HAS GRAPHICS, AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THOSE GRAPHICS OUT.

UM, IF YOU LOOK HERE THERE'S A BLUE, UM, OPTION.

THAT'S THE BASE OPTION, IT'S A CYAN OPTION.

SO THAT'S FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST.

UM, THERE, WE ALSO PROVIDED A GREEN OPTION, WHICH IS A SLIGHTLY ADDITIONAL COST OF $5,000.

AND THEN WE HAVE A STANDARD COLOR OPTION WITH A GRAPHIC PUT ON IT FOR EIGHT, AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $8,500.

AND THEN WE HAD AN OPTION THAT WAS A CUSTOM GRAPHIC AND A CUFFS CUSTOM COLOR IN, AND THAT WAS AN OUT OF $13,500.

WE WENT THROUGH A PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS WHERE WE ALLOWED ADDISON RESIDENTS TO, UM, UH, UM, VOTE EITHER IN PERSON.

UM, WE HAD A PUBLIC INPUT MEETING AT THE ATHLETIC CLUB, OR WE HAD AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT ALLOWED RESIDENTS TO PROVIDE US THEIR FEEDBACK.

UM, DURING THAT SURVEY, IT WAS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF RESIDENTS THAT PICKED THE OPTION.

NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS THIS DIANE BLUE THAT DID NOT HAVE THE, UM, ADDITIONAL COST ASSOCIATE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

SO THAT WAS THEIR BASE COST.

AND THAT WAS PREFERRED PACKAGE BY THE ADDISON RESIDENTS.

SO WHAT WE ARE, AND THEN THIS IS JUST SOME PICTURES THAT KIND OF SHOW YOU AN OVERVIEW OF HOW THAT FITNESS SPORT WORKS.

UM, IN ADDITION TO SELECTING THIS PRODUCT FOR ITS DURABILITY, THE SIZE OF IT, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT COULD USE IT.

ONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS THAT WAS REALLY APPEALING TO STAFF WAS THE FACT THAT IT CAME WITH A FITNESS APP AND THAT APP INCLUDES WORKOUTS THAT ARE CREATED BY OTHER INSTRUCTORS.

AND THEN ALSO HAS A LIVE CHALLENGE FEATURE WHERE YOU CAN CHALLENGE YOURSELF.

AND IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS ACCESS TO A COURT IN ANOTHER CITY, THEY CAN CHALLENGE EACH OTHER.

SO WE LIKED THE TECHNOLOGY ASPECT OF IT AND HOW THAT CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THE WORKOUTS.

UM, SO THAT WOULD BE THE REASON THAT WE'RE, UM, RECOMMENDING THAT THIS COURT, UM, BE THE ONE THAT WE PURCHASED.

AND THEN WE PURCHASED THE EQUIPMENT.

UM, THE PROPOSED LOCATION YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IN THIS CORNER IS RIGHT BY THE PARKING LOT, THE NORTH WEST SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT ADJACENT

[01:30:01]

TO THE LAYLAX PLAYGROUND.

SO IT WOULD, UM, THERE'S KIND OF TWO TREES THERE THAT WOULD SHAPE THE FITNESS COURT AND WE WOULD BUILD IT UNDERNEATH THOSE TWO TREES WITH THAT.

I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION.

UM, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT, WHAT YOU ENVISION AS FAR AS PROGRAM? SURE.

THAT WAS ANOTHER ASPECT OF WHAT WE LIKED ABOUT THIS FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

WE ACTUALLY TOOK OUR FITNESS SUPERVISOR FROM THE ALISON ATHLETIC CLUB WITH US TO TRY OUT THE FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

UM, IF YOU'VE NOTICED THEY'VE BEEN GROWING A PROGRAM CALLED ADDISON OUTDOORS, WHERE THEY'VE HAD OUTDOOR FITNESS CLASSES THAT ARE MOSTLY FACILITATED BY OTHER INSTRUCTORS, BUT THEY SAW THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE LAYOUT OF THIS EQUIPMENT THAT THEY ACTUALLY COULD PROGRAM OUTDOOR CLASSES OUTSIDE OF THE ATHLETIC CLUB ON THIS.

SO THAT IS ONE OF OUR PLANS ONCE IT'S CONSTRUCTED IS TO BRING THAT INTO ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS THAT WE LISTENED TO ACT TO GUIDE.

I COULD, I COULD SEE THIS BEING USED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SPORT FROM PROGRAMMING, DIFFERENT INSTRUCTORS, LEADING CLASSES, AND SO FORTH.

UM, YEAH, THE OTHER THOUGHT I, I HAVE, AND I SHARED THIS WITH WHAT'S EARLIER IS, UM, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF SIGNAGE THAT SAYS SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT WORKOUT AT YOUR OWN RISK OF SOME TYPE OF LIABILITY DISCLAIMER, OF SORTS.

I BELIEVE THIS FITNESS WALL THAT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE ON THE INSIDE, NOT ONLY DOES IT HAVE, UM, SOME DESCRIPTIONS OF HOW TO USE THE EQUIPMENT, BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE.

IF I WILL WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS, THEY, WHEN, IF IT DOESN'T HAVE WHAT WE WANT IT TO SAY, WE CAN PUT A SIGN ADJACENT TO THAT THAT WOULD COVER THAT.

AND, AND ALONG THE SAME LINES, IF WE DON'T HAVE IT ALREADY, WHEN YOU JOIN THE ATHLETIC CLUB, BUT WONDER IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT PAPERWORK AND SEE IF WE NEED TO UPDATE THAT WITH THE THOUGHT OF THIS, OR, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY MAKES A RESERVATION AT ONE OF THE COURTS, TENNIS, PICKLE, WHAT HAVE YOU.

UM, AND JUST ANOTHER LAYER OF THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

I'LL TAKE IT.

WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT OUR POLICIES.

IN FACT, WE HAVE A, UM, NOW THAT WE HAVE A NEW ATTORNEY, WE HAVE A CONVERSATION THAT THEY GOING TO HAVE WITH THEM PRETTY SOON.

ANYWAY, JENNA, I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO WHY SEE THE ITEMIZE THE PROCESS DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE GOING TO CHOOSE TIM OPTION FOR, SO THE, WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RESOLUTION IS FOR $124,265.

AND THAT WOULD BE TO PURCHASE OPTION FOR STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT WE PURCHASED OPTION ONE, WHICH WAS THE OPTION THAT WAS SELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY.

UM, AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, THAT PURCHASE PRICE IS $110,765 BY 17,500.

CORRECT.

AND WE WROTE THE RESOLUTION TO COVER THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT IN CASE COUNSEL WANTED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS.

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

WHAT N AND ASSUMING THIS PAST, AND WE WENT WITH OPTION THE CYA AND OPTION.

WHAT WOULD BE THE NET AFTER BRAND THAT IS THE NET AFTER THE GRANT THAT HAS THE GRANT DEDUCTED FROM IT IS WHAT THAT $110,765.

I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO DO IS THIS IS JUST FOR THE EQUIPMENT.

THE CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL A FORCE.

SO THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL PROJECT COSTS THAT WE'LL NEED TO BRING FORWARD, TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE, TO GET THIS ALL DONE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A HUGE NUMBER, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE MORE THAN WHAT THIS DOLLAR AMOUNT IS FOR THIS, UM, FOR THIS EQUIPMENT OF THE REASON WHY WE'RE DOING THIS, UH, THIS WAY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THIS GRANT FOR THIS YEAR.

AND WE HAVE TO GET THINGS DONE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

THE OTHER THING, AND I THINK JAZZ OR JANA, EXCUSE ME, UH, JANNA IT, CORRECT ME IF I MISSPEAK HERE, BUT WITH ALL OF THE PRODUCTION ISSUES AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW, WE KNOW THAT THEY COMMUNICATED THE VENDORS COMMUNICATED THAT THEY HAVE STUFF AVAILABLE FOR US.

NOW WE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THIS.

WE CAN GET THAT STUFF AND HAVE THAT COMMITTED TO US.

SO WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAT THE FABRICATED OR THAT'S EXACTLY IT.

AND I THINK WE'VE DEALT WITH, UM, DELAYS ON PRODUCTS ON SEVERAL PROJECTS.

SO WE THOUGHT IF WE CAN JUMP IN THERE AND SECURE THIS, UM, AS WE'RE FINISHING OUR PLANS FOR THE READY TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE CONCRETE PAD, UM, THAT THIS EQUIPMENT WILL GO ON, WE CAN STORE THAT EQUIPMENT FOR A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME, AND THEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR

[01:35:01]

JENNA, CAN YOU SPEAK AGAIN TO THE ORIENTATION THAT'S SHOWN HERE ON THE SLIDE, HOW WE SELECT IT? SORRY.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS WAY OUT, IT'S, IT'S VERY, UM, I WISH THE ARCHITECT HAD FADED IT SO MUCH.

UM, BUT HERE'S THE FIRST PARKING SPACE RIGHT HERE.

UM, THE WALL THAT YOU SEE, WHICH IS THIS BLUE ELEMENT FACES TO THE EAST, WHICH MEANS IT IS FACING TOWARDS THE SAND VOLLEYBALL AND TOWARDS THE TENNIS COURTS.

UM, WE FELT LIKE THAT, THAT WALL'S A LITTLE OVERBEARING CAN BE, BUT IT'S A STRUCTURAL NECESSITY OF THAT FITNESS COURT.

SO WE FELT THAT IT WAS THE LEAST OF TRUTH OF IF WE ORIENTED IT IN A WAY THAT IT WAS FACING TOWARDS THE EAST AND THE, THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S SHOWN ON THERE, IT WILL BE IN THAT SAME ORDER.

THAT'S THE ONLY ORDER THAT IT COMES IN.

AND THAT'S HOW THE APP WORKS.

THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN INSTRUCTOR THROUGH A WORKOUT IT'S BECAUSE THE EQUIPMENT'S ALWAYS THE SAME AND THE SAME LOCATION, AND WE'RE GOING TO LOSE WATER TO TREES AT THIS LOCATION.

WE WILL LOSE ONE ORNAMENTAL TREE.

THAT'S VERY SMALL, UM, IN ORDER TO BUILD THE CONCRETE PAD.

BUT THEN WE HAVE TWO LARGE SHADE TREES THAT ARE ON EITHER SIDE OF IT THAT WE WILL NOT LOSE AND THEY WILL SHAVE THE FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

AND ON THE OTHER TWO TREES, WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE SOME PREDETERMINED.

WE WILL HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT, WE'LL HAVE TO RAISE THEM UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOTHING TO IMPACT THE HEALTH OF THE TREES.

AND CAN YOU HAVE A FEEL FOR HOT, HOW HIGH THE WALLACE, THE WALL? UM, IT'S A LITTLE BIT TALLER THAN ME AND I'M ABOUT FIVE FOOT FIVE.

SO FROM GOING AND SEEING THE ONE THAT WAS IN MCKINNEY, UM, IT THAT'S ABOUT THE HEIGHT THAT I WOULD SAY IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE FOOT SEVEN, SOMEWHERE IN THAT VICINITY.

MOST PEOPLE EXCEPT ME CAN SEE OVER IT.

ALRIGHT.

UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS IS SOMETHING NEW.

THAT'S GREAT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR JENNA? ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR JENNA? NOPE.

LET'S MAKE A MOTION FOR ITEM 12 AS SUBMITTED.

ALRIGHT, SO WE'LL APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO RECEIVE THE GRANTS.

SO I HAVE A MOTION SECONDED ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED ITEM NUMBER 13.

DO I HAVE MOTION MOTION FOR A LAWYER? SETTLING CATHERINE WHEELER.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED.
