AND THEN DURING THE LAST WEEKS, TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE, UH, AT THE TML CONFERENCE, UH, ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN HOUSTON, THE TAMRA HAS RECEIVED THE 2021 MUNICIPAL EXCELLENCE AWARD IN COMMUNICATION PROGRAMS FOR CITIES HUNDRED 25,000 POPULATION.

AND THAT AWARD RECOGNIZED THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISIONS EXECUTION.

THANK YOU.

I'LL, UH, EXCUSE ME, UM, EXECUTION OF THE VIRTUAL HEALTH INSPECTION PROGRAM THAT, UH, WE STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC.

ADDITIONALLY, THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT SUPPORTED, UH, WITH REGULAR COMMUNICATION TO THAT EFFORT WITH REGULAR COMMUNICATIONS TO THE FOOD, UH, ESTABLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT TOWN ABOUT THE COMMUNICATION WAS ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS CHANGED.

UH, AND, UH, WE, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE HOW WE MAKE THAT A SUCCESS.

AND ACTUALLY IT WAS RECEIVED VERY WELL BY THE RESTAURANT COMMUNITY AND PROVED TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE IN ADDITION TO THIS AWARD, WHICH I THINK THE MAYOR HAS OVER THERE.

UM, THERE WERE OTHER COMMUNITIES, UM, INQUIRING ABOUT THIS KIND OF A PROGRAM BECAUSE OF THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAD.

SO I THINK, UH, IT'S CERTAINLY AN EXAMPLE OF, UH, EXCELLENCE, BUT ALSO INNOVATION AND CERTAIN THAT WE CAN BE VERY PROUD OF, UH, OF OUR TEAMS FROM DOING THAT.

SO SANDRA LONG AND HER TEAM AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, UH, REALLY, UM, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING THIS CONCEPT AND THEN MARY ROSENBLUTH AND HER TEAM, UH, DID AN AMAZING JOB OF TELLING EVERYBODY ABOUT IT.

SO WE WANT TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR THEIR AWESOME WORK AND SAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

AND JUST AS A REMINDER, UH, AS OCTOBER IS, IS ACTUALLY RESTAURANT UP IN ONE OF LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT THAT.

THERE'S A, A REALLY COOL APP.

IT CAN BE, UM, DOWNLOADED ON YOUR PHONE.

IT'S REALLY NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

UH, YOU CAN USE THAT WHEN YOU VISIT RESTAURANTS AND GET OFFERED OR DEALS GOING TO THE RESTAURANTS AND THEN ALSO BE ENTERED TO WIN PRIZES.

SO, UH, IF PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT, THEY CAN VISIT, VISIT ADDISON.COM.

UH, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

OUR RESTAURANTS ARE AS WELL, AND WE HOPE EVERYBODY WILL ENJOY VISITING THE MINI RESTAURANTS AND ADS AND USING THIS, UH, THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO GREAT DEALS.

SO MAYOR COUNCIL, THOSE ARE MY ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR PATIENT SANCTUARY.

I THINK THE ALL STAFF BRIGHT, INNOVATIVE RISE, SMART LIKE A CENTRAL WALL FACETIME AND, UH, TO DO AN INSPECTION HEALTH INSPECTION.

OH, SHOW ME COACHING OUT HERE.

SO IF IT'S DIRTY, YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOW A, THE, SHE HAS DONE ALSO, MARY IS VERY SMART TOO, YOU KNOW, AND WE HAVE A RESTAURANT MONTH INSTEAD OF RESTAURANT WEEK AND A LOT OF PARTICIPANTS AND IT MUST HAVE SOME OFFER MAINTENANCE, MAYBE SMALL, MAYBE A BIGGER, BUT I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE YOU.

YOU'RE LIVING AT A CITY OR LIVING IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, JUST PITCH ON THAT AS EDISON RESTAURANTS.

SO MAKE THEM DO BETTER.

AND THEN I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE OTHER RESTAURANT OWNERS LAUNCH THAT, BUT THEY SAID A BIG RESTAURANT THEY'LL HAVE THE USAGE BECAUSE SIMPLY PEOPLE JUST DON'T PARTY THAT MUCH.

MAYBE HAVE A SMALLER GROUP OF TWO OR THREE PEOPLE, FOUR PEOPLE, BUT DON'T HAVE A BIG PARTY, 20, 30, 40, 50, A HUNDRED.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE PAYING THE RENT BY NOT PRODUCING ANY PROFIT ON IT.

SO I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO PITCH ITEMIZE ON THE EDISON RESTAURANTS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YEAH.

UH, LET'S

[1. Present and Discuss the New Crisis Communications Agency. ]

SO THIS IS TIP NUMBER ONE, PRESENTED DISCUSS THE NEW CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS AGENCY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS MARY .

I'M THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR.

AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE CONTRACT WITH AN OUTSIDE FIRM TO ASSIST US WITH CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS MARKETING.

AND IF WE NEEDED SOME SUPPORT, UM, WE DID AN RFP THIS SUMMER AND WE HAD SIX DIFFERENT FIRMS RESPOND.

UM, WE INTERVIEWED THREE AND WE SELECTED FROM I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THAT WE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES.

UM, IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION, BUT THE PHONE WE PICKED IS, IS AN ASSET BASED COMPANY.

THEY HAVE A TON OF CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS EXPERIENCE, AND WE THINK THAT THE MODEL THAT, UM, THE WAY THE CONTRACT IS STRUCTURED IS GOING TO BE TO OUR BENEFIT.

SO, UM, WE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE PANEL, THE SELECTION PANEL AND MYSELF, UM, AMBER PATTERSON FROM MY OFFICE POLICE, CHIEF, PAUL SPENCER, FIRE, CHIEF DAVID JONES, AND DEPUTY AIRPORT DIRECTOR DARCY NUSIL.

SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE JESSICA NUNEZ FROM TRU POINT COMMUNICATIONS.

THEY'RE AN ASSET BASED COMPANY, AND I WANT TO GIVE HIM OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER AND ABOUT HER FARM.

THANK YOU, MARY, FOR MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.

WE'RE EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH YOU.

I'M JESSICA NAMIA IS FOUNDER OF TRUE POINT.

WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 15 YEARS AND WE'VE OPERATED IN ADDISON FOR THE PAST ALMOST FIVE YEARS.

AND, UM, WE DO UNFORTUNATELY HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN CRISIS.

I SAY THAT UNFORTUNATELY FOR OTHERS, BUT, UM, IT'S A SPACE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE ARE FRANKLY, ENJOY.

I HATE SAYING THAT I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE DO BEST.

AND I THINK YOU SIGNED US JUST IN TIME FOR THE HALLOWEEN

[00:15:01]

AND WE DO, UM, IN, IN TUPELO AND WE HAVE TWO PRACTICE GROUPS, DIGITAL MEDIA AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS.

SO WE HAVE A SOCIAL LISTENING PROGRAM AND SOCIAL ANALYTICS THAT ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT WE DO.

SO WE'RE ALWAYS LISTENING AND AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, OR BEING SAID ONLINE, WHERE A LOT OF CRISES CAN BEGIN TO PICK UP.

AND THEN WE COMBINE THAT WITH A TRADITIONAL CRISIS, MAYBE A APPROACH OF, UM, WORKING ALONGSIDE THE CLIENT AND REALLY TO HELP MITIGATE ANY NEGATIVE PUBLICITY, SOCIAL MEDIA, CITIZEN, JOURNALISM, ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH TODAY.

SO TOMORROW WE'LL BE KICKING OFF WITH MARY AND HER TEAM IN A CRISIS WORK SESSION.

AND, UM, LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.

WELCOME JESSICA.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU, MARY.

VERY SHORT WORK SESSION ON BOARD BECAUSE WE DON'T ENGAGE, ENGAGE WITH, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, UH, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, FOR REPRESENTING THE TOWN, UH, EXCEPT WHEN THERE'S AN EMERGENCY OR URGENT SITUATION.

ALL RIGHT.

[20. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on an Ordinance Amending Planned Development (PD) District Ordinance O20-54 for a 2.034-Acre Property Located at 3820 Belt Line Road, to Modify Minimum Lot Size Requirements and to Establish Future Cross-Access Requirements. Case 1838-Z/3820 Belt Line Road. (Former Humperdink's Property) ]

YEAH, GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, KEN SCHMIDT, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN OF ADDISON INFLUENCE.

SO THEIR REQUEST REQUEST THE REQUEST BEFORE TEST THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO AMEND PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, UH, ORDINANCE OWED 25 FOR, UH, THAT APPLIES TO A 2.034 ACRE PROPERTY, UH, SITUATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BELTLINE ROAD, UH, BETWEEN, UH, COMMERCIAL DRIVE AND BUSINESS AVENUE ADJACENT TO THE ADDISON TALENT CENTER PROPERTY, AS WELL AS, UH, ASBURY CIRCLE.

UH, THE PURPOSE OF THEIR REQUEST IS TO, UH, AMEND, UH, THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE INCLUDED, UH, IN AN ORDINANCE THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL IN NOVEMBER.

AND THEN ALSO TO ESTABLISH TEACHER CROSS ACCESS REQUIREMENTS IN THE EVENT.

UH, THIS PROPERTY WAS SUBDIVIDED SO BRIEFLY A LITTLE BIT OF ZONING HISTORY, UH, FOR THIS PROPERTY IN 1993.

UH, IT WAS REZONED TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AS AN OUT PARCEL TO THE EDISON TOWN CENTER DEVELOPMENT.

UH, IN 2020, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE, UH, COUNCIL APPROVED A REZONING REQUEST, UM, PRIMARILY ADDRESSING, UH, THE

[00:20:01]

UH, THAT BUILDING WAS A TWO-STORY BUILDING, UH, WITH OFFICE AND RETAIL USE.

UH, NO CHANGES WERE PROPOSED AT THAT TIME TO THE EXISTING BUILDING, WHICH WAS, UH, THE FORMER HUMPERDINCK BUILDING, A BAD BUILDING HAS ACTUALLY BEEN VACANT SINCE 2017.

UH, SINCE THAT PD ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED, NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEVELOP, UH, THE PROPOSED BUILDING THAT WAS SUBJECT TO THAT ORDINANCE.

SO WITH THIS REQUEST REALLY IT'S, UM, THERE'S TWO COMPONENTS OF IT, ONE WHICH WAS INITIALLY REQUESTED THE APPLICANT.

UH, SO IN THAT, UH, NOVEMBER REZONING, UH, THE, UH, THERE IS A STIPULATION PUT INTO THAT, UH, ORDINANCE THAT WAS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY STAFF THAT, UM, ADDRESSED A MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT.

SO THAT MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT WAS 2.034 ACRES, WHICH IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE LOT SO EFFECTIVELY, THAT WAS TO PREVENT THE SUBDIVISION OF THE LOT, UM, WITNESS REQUEST.

UM, STAFF DOES FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO RECONSIDER THAT ISSUE.

HOWEVER, IF THAT WERE TO BE THE CASE, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL CONTROLS INCLUDED IN, UH, ANY AMENDED PD AND THAT PRIMARILY RELATES TO CROSS ACCESS.

UH, SO CURRENTLY, UH, THIS PROPERTY HAS VERY GOOD ACCESS TO BELTLINE, UH, TO THE WEST, UH, THROUGH A PRIVATE DRIVE, UH, THAT CONNECTS TO BELTLINE AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION.

AND THEN TO THE EAST, UH, THROUGH, UH, AN EASEMENT, UH, THROUGH AN ADJACENT PROPERTY, UH, TO A PUBLIC STREET THAT ONCE AGAIN PROVIDES ACCESS TO A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION, UH, AND THE EVENT THAT, UH, THIS REQUEST WAS APPROVED AND THE APPLICANT ELECTED TO SUBDIVIDE THIS PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT ANY NEW LOTS HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH THOSE INTERSECTIONS, PARTICULARLY SINCE THEY'RE SIGNALIZED.

SO HAVING A REQUIREMENT TO, UH, ENSURE THAT CROSS ACCESS IS, UH, PROVIDED THROUGH EASEMENTS OR SOME SORT OF EASEMENT AGREEMENT IS, IS REALLY CRITICAL, UH, TO THE, UH, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, IF IT WERE TO BE SUBDIVIDED.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THE REZONING THAT WAS APPROVED IN NOVEMBER.

SO IT WAS REZONED AS A, AS A PD, BUT, UH, THE PD WAS LARGELY BASED ON THE, UH, BELL LINE DISTRICTS.

UH, THE BELTLINE DISTRICT, UH, IS A, UH, FORM-BASED DISTRICT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE TOWN IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS TO REALLY, TO IMPLEMENT A, UM, REDEVELOPMENT VISION FOR THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR.

THAT VISION REALLY WAS, UM, MORE OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL VISION.

UH, CURRENTLY BELTLINE IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL AND THRIVING CORRIDOR, BUT THERE'S PORTIONS OF THE CORRIDOR THAT PROBABLY, UH, OR MAY BENEFIT FROM RE-INVESTMENT, UH, IF IT WERE TO CHANGE AND REDEVELOP CONSISTENT WITH THE BELTLINE DISTRICT VISION, IT REALLY WOULD BE MORE OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE, PROBABLY SEEN A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAN WHAT LARGELY PREVAILS IN THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR.

SO WHEN YOU THINK OF TRANSFORMATION AND A DIFFERENT CHARACTER IN THAT CORRIDOR, PROBABLY, UH, A GOOD EXAMPLE TO, UH, USE WOULD BE THE ADDISON GROVE.

WE CAN ALL THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THAT IS A DIFFERENT FORM, A DIFFERENT ENGAGEMENT, DIFFERENT DENSITY AND INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT FROM MUCH OF THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR.

AND REALLY THAT'S KIND OF THE DIRECTION THAT BELTLINE DISTRICT VISION, UH, WAS GOING TOWARDS.

UM, HERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE, UH, COMMON THEMES AND GOALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BELTLINE DISTRICT.

I HIGHLIGHTED A FEW IN RED THAT KIND OF CONVEY WHAT I JUST SHARED SO THAT THE S UH, FIRST AND SECOND, REALLY, AND THE THIRD REALLY SPEAK TO IT, BEING A MORE PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED DISTRICT WHERE THE BUILDINGS ARE CLOSER TO THE STREET.

THERE'S LESS PARKING ON THE STREET.

PARKING IS TYPICALLY BEHIND THE BUILDINGS.

THERE'S FEWER ACCESS DRIVES CUTTING UP THE STREET SCAPE, UH, AND THE, UH, BUILDING FRONTAGE IS, ARE LESS OF THE PAD SITE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY SOME PORTIONS OF THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR, AND REALLY STARTING TO LOOK TOWARDS ESTABLISHING BLOCKS OF CONTINUOUS BUILDING FRONTAGE.

LIKE WHAT YOU SEE IN ADDISON GROW.

UH, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, I KNOW THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SEE A LOT, UH, IN, UH, THESE

[00:25:01]

UM, IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE HERE, BUT, UH, YOU ACTUALLY CAN SEE THAT FOR THIS PROPERTY, IT'S A SOMEWHAT OF A FOCUS AREA FOR A MORE PEDESTRIAN AND URBANIZED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.

SO WHEN YOU, UM, ACTED ON THE REQUIRED IN NOVEMBER, UH, WHAT I, UH, I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD ACTION.

IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, SUPPORT REINVESTMENT IN A SITE THAT HAS SEEN SIGNIFICANT DECLINE.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, HUMPER DINKS HAS BEEN VACANT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

SO THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE NEW INVESTMENT THROUGH THAT ADDITIONAL BUILDING HOPEFULLY CAN SERVE AS A CATALYST TO ALSO REDEVELOP THE HUMPER NEXT BUILDING.

UH, BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE PATTERN THAT IS, UH, BEING ADVANCED WITH THE NEW BUILDING, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A PERFECT FIT FOR THE BELTLINE DISTRICT DIVISION.

AND THAT'S WHY SOME OF THE STANDARDS HAD TO BE MODIFIED, UH, THROUGH SOME OF THE CONDITIONS THAT APPLIED TO THAT, UH, UH, ORDINANCE.

SO THE, UH, ONE STANDARDS THAT STAFF PUT IN WITH REGARDS TO MINIMUM LOT SIZE, REALLY THE, THE INTENT OF THAT WAS TO PREVENT SUBDIVISION.

THERE WAS CONCERNED, UH, UH, WITH REGARDS TO WHETHER THE APPLICANT OR THE PROPERTY OWNER, I SHOULD SAY, WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH, UH, ADDITIONAL REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE AND FURTHER BIFURCATE THE BELTLINE FRONTAGE.

UH, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE ARE OTHER STANDARDS IN THE BELTLINE DISTRICT THAT WOULD PREVENT THAT NAMELY A MINIMUM BLOCK SIZE REQUIREMENTS.

WE ALSO HAVE REQUIREMENTS THAT LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CURB CUTS THAT CAN BE ACCOMMODATED CULMINATED ON BELTLINE.

SO REALLY REQUIRING A MINIMUM LOT SIZE TO BE ESSENTIALLY ONE LOT SUBDIVIDING, A LOT.

DOESN'T ESTABLISH THE BLOCK.

IT'S REALLY THE CURB CUTS THAT ARE ACCOMMODATED ON BELTLINE ROAD.

SO THERE WERE ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAYS, ADDITIONAL CURB CUTS THAT WOULD REALLY BE LEAST IN LINE WITH THE BELTLINE DISTRICT, SUBDIVIDING IT, AND THEN HAVING OTHER RESTRICTIONS THAT DON'T ALLOW THOSE CURB CUTS PROTECTS THE TOWN.

AND SO THE, THE CONSIDERATION OF SUBDIVISION OF LAND AND HAVING MINIMUM LOT SIZES FOR COMMERCIALLY ZONED PROPERTIES, IT'S, IT'S REALLY NOT A TYPICAL REQUIREMENT THAT CITIES, UH, ACCOMMODATE THE BELTLINE DISTRICT DOES NOT SPEAK TO THAT ISSUE AS FAR AS MINIMUM LOT SIZES.

AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS IN TOWN THAT REQUIRE A MINIMUM LOT SIZE WHERE WE DO REGULATE A LOT CONFIGURATION.

IT'S REALLY THINGS SUCH AS MINIMUM BLOCK WITH SETBACKS AND REALLY THE INTENT OF THAT ISN'T TO CORRECT SUBDIVISION, BUT IT'S TO ENSURE THAT WHERE SUBDIVISION OCCURS, THE LOTS THAT ARE CREATED ARE DEVELOPABLE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO CREATE LOTS THROUGH SUBDIVISION THAT COULDN'T BE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T ACCOMMODATE A BUILDING OR THE CIRCULATION OR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE NEEDED.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IN ORDER TO, UH, HAVE COMPATIBLE SUBDIVISION THIS PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A CROSS ACCESS.

THIS IS A VERY COMMON REQUIREMENT, UH, THAT CITIES REGULATE ENSURING THAT PROPERTIES, THAT IN DEPTH DEVELOP ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER ON AN ARTERIAL CORRIDOR, LIKE BELL LINE ALLOW ACCESS BETWEEN THE SITES AND YOU CAN GET TO MEDIA AND OPENINGS AND SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS.

SO IF YOU HAVE THAT, THE SUBDIVISION OF LAND AND THE OTHER REGULATIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THIS PROPERTY REALLY PROTECT THE TALENT FROM ANY BAD DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS.

UH, SO THIS CASE WAS, UM, UH, NOTICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH TOWN AND STATE REQUIREMENTS, UH, AND 18 NOTICES WERE SENT OUT.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK FROM ANYONE ON THIS CASE, UH, AT THEIR SEPTEMBER MEETING, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS BY A SEVEN ZERO VOTE.

UH, SO WITH THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING TO CHANGE ANYTHING THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN NOVEMBER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT AND THE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT THAT STAFF PROPOSED RELATED TO CROSS ACCESS MITIGATES ANY, UH, POTENTIAL CONFLICTS THAT COULD, UH, COME UP.

IF THIS PLOT WERE SUBDIVIDED IN THE FUTURE WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

WE ALSO DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE APPLICANT WITH US TONIGHT.

SO

[00:30:01]

SO WHEN WE MAKE THIS MODIFICATION, IF WE MAKE THIS MODIFICATION TO MINIMUM LOT SIZE, AND I KNOW WE WANT CROSS ACCESS BETWEEN THEM, IS THERE A LIMITER TO THE EXISTING ACCESS, CONNECTION LOCATIONS, MEANING, YOU KNOW, GO BACK TO THE, THAT, SO WHERE THEY PROPOSED BACK THEN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOT THREE POINTS, RIGHT.

TO WANT TO THE PRIVATE DERIVE.

IT LOOKS LIKE.

AND THEN ONE ONTO THE WEST SIDE THERE, WOULD THAT THERE BE ACTUALLY A LIMIT TO THOSE SPOTS, OR IS IT, I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO CURB CUTS ON THE BELTLINE, BUT I'M KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT, I MEAN, BY CHANGING THIS, WILL WE BE, COULD WE SUBDIVIDE THIS THING UP AND HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT APP ALEC, YOU KNOW, ACCESS POINTS TO SIDE STREETS? SO WITH THE WAY, ANY, ANY PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE PD DEVELOPMENT PLAN, IT WILL ULTIMATELY HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AND IT WILL HAVE TO MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE BELTLINE DISTRICT, AS WELL AS ANY CONDITIONS THAT WE PUT, UH, EITHER IN THAT PAST ORDINANCE, AS WELL AS THIS ORDINANCE.

UM, SO, UM, FOR ME, THAT'S NOT A CONCERN, UH, IN ORDER TO HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH BUILDING, UH, TO DEVELOP ON THE EAST SIDE, REALLY PRETTY LIMITED IN TERMS OF HAVING ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS.

IF THEY REDEVELOPED THE HOPPER BANKS BUILDING, WHICH IS MUCH LARGER, CERTAINLY THEY COULD LOOK AT, UH, CHANGES TO THE SITE CONFIGURATION AND THE ACCESS.

UM, MY CONCERN PRIMARILY IS ENSURING THAT THERE'S ACCESS TO THE TWO SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS.

IF THERE IS, UH, THE SAME ACCESS TO THE PRIVATE DRIVE OR ADDITIONAL ACCESS, THE TRAFFIC PATTERN.

ONCE AGAIN, WE'LL STILL WANT TO GO TO BELTLINE.

UH, I, I DON'T THINK HAVING THIS CONFIGURATION, OR IF THERE'S A CHANGE CONFIGURATION, THE THING WE WANT TO MITIGATE IS WE DON'T WANT TO PUSH TRAFFIC TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, WE HAVE HAD ONGOING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT SEPARATE FROM THIS DISCUSSION RELATED TO A DIFFERENT LAND USE.

AND WE DO THINGS SUCH AS TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND, UH, OTHER, UH, APPLYING OUR DESIGN STANDARDS AND OTHER, UM, UH, CITY SPECIFICATIONS TO ENSURE WE'RE NOT GOING TO CREATE CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

THAT WOULD BE A KEY CONSIDERATION OF ANY FUTURE CHANGE TO THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

OKAY, WELL, THAT WAS MY CONCERN TO THAT POINT, CAN BY PROVIDING THIS CROSS ACCESS REQUIREMENT, WOUNDED LESSEN THE LIKELIHOOD POTENTIALLY OF ADDITIONAL CUTS OR ACCESS POINTS, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOU, IF YOU HAVE THAT CROSS ACCESS, THEN LOGICALLY IN, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, EVERYBODY'S GOING TO USE THIS FOR THE SAME PURPOSE AND NOT THEN REQUIRE SINCE I CAN'T ACCESS THIS LOT OR THIS OTHER, FOR EXAMPLE, THE WEST SIDE EXIT, THEN I NEED ANOTHER EXIT AND OVER HERE ON THE PRIVATE DRIVE.

SO I THINK, I THINK, YEAH, I THINK, I MEAN, I THINK THE LIKELIHOOD IS REDUCED BY PROVIDING THEM, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GOING DOWN THE ROAD, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE OTHER SIDE GETS DEVELOPED, THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK AND THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE.

I GOTTA WANT TO CHANGE THAT SLIDE POINT.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO, I WANT TO BE CLEAR, RECOGNIZE, AND B MAKE SURE THAT, I MEAN, I'M ACCUSTOMED TO TALKING TO PEOPLE, THAT'S GOING TO LOOK KIND OF LOOK AT THIS IN THE FUTURE, BUT MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COGNIZANT OF NOT THROWING A BUNCH OF TRAFFIC ONTO THOSE PRIVATES, YOU KNOW, DRIVES ANY MORE THAN THAT'S THE QUESTION, BUT I DIDN'T GIVE HIM THE ANSWER TO ANSWER, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER.

SO IT WAS I, IN MY ASSUMPTION, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

AND THE GOAL AND THE INTENT OF THAT CROSS ACCESS REQUIREMENT IS TO GIVE THEM THE MOST EFFICIENT ACCESS POSSIBLE TO TWO SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS ONLINE.

IF THEY DON'T HAVE THAT ACCESS, THEN BEHAVIORS, WE WANT TO DISCOURAGE SUCH AS CUTTING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS WHAT COULD BE CREATE.

AND SO MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S THERE, IT'S CRITICAL, THE APPROVAL OF VIOLENCE.

NO, NOT YET.

THIS IS PUBLIC.

SO THIS IS THE POVERTY HEARING.

IF ANYONE IN PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS IDEA, PLEASE DO SO ANYBODY ON THE PHONE

[00:35:02]

SO NOBODY CAN PUPPET THE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS IDEA.

AND I HEAR BY CLOSING POCKET.

SO I HAVE BULLSHIT, TOM BROTH, DO I HAVE SECOND, SECOND THAT HE HAS GONE? AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM HIM.

IF HE'S GOT ANYTHING TO THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLICANT, THIS HERE, I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM HIM.

IF HE'S GOT ANY DOORS OR ANYTHING, , I'M HERE MORE FOR QUESTIONS THAN ANY PROPOSITIONS.

SO, SO I CAN SHARE WITH, YOU KNOW, AFTER MEETING.

YEAH.

SO ANYTHING ELSE, IT WASN'T FOR THE APPLICANT IF, IF THIS GETS APPROVED TONIGHT, UM, DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE OFFICE OVER RETAIL DEVELOPMENT MIGHT START, UM, OR BOWLER ENGINEERING, 6,017 MAIN STREET IN FRISCO, TEXAS? UM, RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE PLANS.

WHAT THIS PROPOSITION IS FOR IS TO HOPEFULLY BROADEN THE SPECTRUM OF, OF DEVELOPMENT ON THE SLOT.

AS KEN MENTIONED, IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

WE'RE, WE'RE BASICALLY WITH THE, THE CLAUSE THAT WAS IN THE PD PREVIOUSLY, AND IT KIND OF LIMITS THE POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT ON THIS PARCEL.

AND THIS WILL KIND OF HELP BROADEN THAT SPECTRUM.

AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOMETHING IN HERE, BE BACK BEFORE YOU, HOPEFULLY SHORTLY WITH A PLAN THAT SHOWS THE ENTIRE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS PARCEL IS THE INTENT, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH CANDIDATES THAT IN ORDER TO THROW SOME THINGS AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET IN THERE.

UH, BUT AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PERMANENT, ANY MORE QUESTION? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I THINK ACTUALLY, UH, BY DOING SO IS A SMART APP BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN LOST SIZE AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE, UH, TWO DIFFERENT BUSINESSES.

ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE OTHERS, SO IT GIVE YOU MORE CHOICES WITH THE CROSS ACCESS, SO YOU CAN COME BACK EACH OTHER.

SO THAT'S GREAT.

SO I THINK STEPH, YOUR REQUEST, THE STAFF MODIFICATION IS SMART.

SO, UH, WITH, UH, MOTION FRONT-ON BROWN SEVEN FROM, UH, ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

AYE.

OPPOSED.

CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU CAN LEAVE.

OKAY.

THIS IS ALL US 1200 PAGES.

AND I HOPE ANY WHILE VIEW READ ALL THOSE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FALL INTO AN END AND WITH THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING US AS QUITE A LENGTHY.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

JENNA MAYOR AND COUNCIL JANITOR, WELL DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION FROM THE TOWN.

THAT ITEM THAT I'M BRINGING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS IN REGARD TO PROMOTE PROPOSED RENOVATIONS TO THE ABS AND ATHLETIC CLUB AS PART OF THE 2019 BOND ELECTION VOTERS APPROVED FUNDS IN BOTH PROPOSITIONS C AND D, UM, TO BE APPLIED TOWARDS THE RENOVATIONS OF THE ALISON ATHLETIC CLUB.

THOSE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED GYMNASIUM AND TRACK IMPROVEMENTS, LOCKER ROOM UPGRADES, INDOOR OUTDOOR POOL, MODERNIZATION, ROOF REPLACEMENT, AND REPLACEMENT REPLACEMENT OF THEIR REMAINING HVAC SYSTEM.

IN JUNE OF 2020, COUNCIL APPROVED AN AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $495,000 WITH LPA ARCHITECTS TO PREPARE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

SO WE COULD RECEIVE BIDS FROM CONTRACTORS FOR THE RENOVATIONS.

I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE BRIAN GROUND WITH LO LVA ARCHITECTS HERE WITH US THIS EVENING.

UM, IT CASE WE GET INTO ANY DETAILED QUESTIONS.

HE WOULD BE HERE TO HELP WITH THOSE AS PART, UM, IN ADDITION TO THE FUNDS THAT WERE APPROVED BY VOTERS AND THE BOND ELECTION STAFF ALSO REQUESTED, UM, A DECISION PACKAGE AS PART OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 OPERATING BUDGET.

HOWEVER, THOSE FUNDS WERE NOT EXTENDED DUE UNCERTAINTY, UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, BUT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED PAINTING THE INTERIOR WALLS, EXCEPT FOR THE GYMNASIUM AND ROOM, REPLACING FLOORING, EXCLUDING ANY WOOD FLOORS OR FITNESS SCORES RECONFIGURING THE FRONT DESK TO IMPROVE FUNCTION, REMOVING THE DESK IN THE FITNESS AREA TO INCREASE THE USABLE SPACE CONSOLIDATING WITH UPDATING SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, REPLACING OUTDATED OUTDATED FURNITURE,

[00:45:01]

WE ROLLED THOSE PLANS.

UM, THOSE ELEMENTS INTO THE DESIGN PLANS THAT LPA WAS CREATING FOR US.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE MID BREAKDOWN, THERE'S TWO ITEMS. THERE ARE CORE BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH ARE THOSE DECISION PACKAGE ITEMS. AND THEN THERE WERE BOND IMPROVEMENTS.

THAT'S HOW THOSE WERE BROKE OUT.

BUT WE ASKED THE CONTRACTOR TO BID ON THOSE SEPARATELY, UM, TO CREATE OUR BASE, THAT ITEMS AS THE ARCHITECT BEGAN WORKING ON THE PROJECT, THEY ALSO IDENTIFIED SEVERAL THINGS IN THE FACILITY THAT WERE IN NEED OF REPAIR, UPDATING STAFF, DIRECTED THE ARCHITECT AND INCLUDE THOSE ELEMENTS AS ALTERNATE BID ITEMS IN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, THE ALTERNATE BID ITEMS ARE MOSTLY RELATED TO CEILINGS INSIDE THE BUILDING AND REPLACING ITEMS TO MATCH UPDATED MATERIALS BEING USED.

THE ALTERNATIVE DESCRIBED HIM, OR DID YOU TELL HIM NUMBERED THEY'D BREAK DOWN.

VOTERS APPROVED A TOTAL OF 5 MILLION, $77,631 FOR THE AAC RENOVATION, PROJECT BUDGET STACK, UTILIZE BID INFORMATION AND OTHER PROJECT COSTS TO ESTABLISH A BREAKDOWN.

THERE'S A TABLE IN YOUR AGENDA THAT ESTABLISHES THE PROJECT BUDGET, THAT BUDGET TO GET THAT TOTAL OF 5 MILLION, 77,000 AND SOME DOLLARS.

WE TOOK THE BASE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FROM THE BIDS, WHICH IS $4,035,085.

WE TOOK THE SOFT COST, WHICH WAS THE DESIGN FEES FROM LVA ARCHITECTS, AND THEN SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE PAID TO HAVE IN A SPECIFIED STUDY DONE FOR THE BUILDING.

AND THEN WE HAVE INCLUDED SOFT COSTS TO HIRE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

WE WILL BRING THEIR CONTRACT TO COUNCIL AT THE NEXT MEETING, THAT $70,000.

AND THEN WE INCLUDED FUNDS FOR A PROJECT CONTINGENCY OF $473,466.

AND THAT'S HOW WE COME UP WITH A TOTAL PROJECT.

THE PROJECT WAS ISSUED FOR BID ON BIDSYNC ON JULY 27TH.

UM, BIDS WERE OPENED ON AUGUST 19TH, 2021 AND FOUR COMPANIES SUBMITTED BIDS.

I COMMITTEE, UM, TOWN STAFF REVIEWED THE BIDS AND IDENTIFIED NORTH RIDGE CONSTRUCTION GROUP.

AS THE MOST QUALIFIED BIDDER.

YOU HAVE A TABLE THAT INCLUDES THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BIDS THAT RECEIVED.

SO IT SHOWS YOU THE TOTAL OF THE BASE, THAT ITEMS. AND THEN THE ALTERNATE BID ITEMS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE BID AFTER STAFF REVIEWED THE BITS.

WE ALSO CHECKED REFERENCES FOR NORTH BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AND THEY WERE ALL VERY FAVORABLE.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS AWARDING THE CONTRACT TO NORTH RIDGE CONSTRUCTION GROUP, THAT THEY SPIT ITEMS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,035,085.

AND THAT WE ESTABLISH A PROJECT BUDGET, THEN 5 MILLION, $77,631 AS DETAILED IN THE TABLE.

AND THEN STAFF RECOMMENDS UTILIZING ANY UNUSED PROJECT CONTINGENCY FUNDS TO BE APPLIED TOWARDS THE ALL ALTERNATE BID ITEMS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE BID.

AND WITHOUT ALL ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU DON'T MIND HAVE.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER FOR US.

IT'S A NICE PACKAGE.

YOU'RE LOOKING TO SEE DRAWINGS, WHICH YOU DIRECTED ME TO APPRECIATE THAT I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THE TIMELINES, THE DATES THAT WERE PRESENTED BY THE USUAL FOUR CONTRACTORS THAT'S DAYS TO COMPLETE.

I NOTICED THAT THE NOT ALL OF THEM ACTUALLY GAVE US DATES THREE OF THE FOUR, BUT ONE OF THEM DID HAVE A, A A HUNDRED, 227 DAYS, WHICH IS ABOUT 16% MORE THAN THE WINNING PROPOSED 20 BED.

UM, IF IT GOES THROUGH THE ACTUALLY, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT, WAS THERE ANY INDICATION OR WHY THAT WAS 16% HIGHER ENERGY GOING THROUGH THOSE KIDS? UM, THERE WAS NOT AS DETAILED AS A CONSTRUCTION BREAKDOWN PROVIDED OR SCHEDULE PROVIDED BY THAT CONTRACTOR IS THE OTHER TWO THAT HAD THE, I BELIEVE IT WAS 195 DAYS AND 198, BUT TWO, THEY HAVE THE SHORTEST TIMELINE.

AND WHAT THAT SAID TO US WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT IS THE TWO THAT HAD THE LOWER NUMBER OF DATES ACTUALLY HAD A VERY SOLID PLAN ON HOW THEY WERE GOING TO APPROACH THE PROJECT.

WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THERE WAS A LOT OF CADDYING IN IT BECAUSE THEY HAD REALLY SAT DOWN AND ANALYZED WHAT THE TASK WERE, UM, HOW THEY NEEDED TO KEEP THE BUILDING OPEN AND ACHIEVE THOSE TASKS AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO WE, BASED ON OUR REVIEW, OUR ASSUMPTION IS THAT THOSE TWO DATES WITH THE LOW WINDS WERE VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT.

OKAY,

[00:50:01]

WE INTEND FOR THE FITNESS AREA TO ALWAYS BE OPERATIONAL.

UM, THERE WILL BE ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING THAT WILL BE CLOSED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, SUCH AS WHEN WE CHANGE OUT THE RAILING, UM, ON THE WALKING TRACK, THE WALKING TRACK BE CLOSED WHEN WE CHANGE OUT THE BACKWARDS IN THE GYM, THE GYM WILL BE CLOSED.

UM, BUT IT IS OUR GOAL TO KEEP THE FIVE FOR THE FACILITY OPERATIONAL THE ENTIRE TIME.

THE ONE THING THAT WILL BE CLOSE THOUGH, IS THE LOCKER ROOMS. AND WE WILL BRING IN TEMPORARY RESTAURANTS, UM, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ENOUGH RESTROOM SPACE THAT OUR MEMBERS WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SHOWERS DURING A PORTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

CERTAINLY IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME NEW LIGHTING THAT WAS EVIDENT BY ONE OF OUR, ONE OF OUR LAST MEETINGS.

YES, WE, WE MADE A GOOD CASE FOR WHY WE NEED A NEW UI.

DEFINITELY.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER THE GSE COMMERCIAL IS WORKING ON OUR CUSTOMS TRANSCRIPT, SO I JUST DON'T GET IT, BUT APPLAUD BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.

THEY ARE SO MUCH HIGHER JUST AS BELIEVABLE.

YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHETHER THE BID CORRECTLY OR NOT.

I DON'T EITHER JUST PUT THE WORD TO DECIDE TO DO.

THEY WERE DETERMINED TO BE THE MOST QUALIFIED PAINTER.

SO, UM, I DO IT ALL THE TIME.

I FIND IF I'M SUPER BUSY, I'LL BET A JOB AND INCREASE MY PROFIT.

YOU KNOW, IF I'M BUSY, I DON'T REALLY NECESSARILY NEED TO WORK, BUT I'LL TAKE IT.

SO, I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S CONSTRUCTION, YOU KNOW WHY, BECAUSE ALL THE OTHERS, ALTERNATE ITEMS, YOU KNOW, ALTERNATIVE BEDS.

YEAH.

RATHER THAN NO, BUT JUST FOR THAT, YES.

SO MUCH.

I THINK IT ALSO, YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY ARE GOING AFTER IT.

THEY PICKED THE TIME TO GIVE THE PLAN AND REALLY UNDERSTAND THEM.

LIKE I SAID, SO THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA KNOW AT LEAST EXPENSIVE WAY TO DO IT.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET BETTER BIDS FROM SUBCONTRACTORS.

I MEAN, JUST, WELL, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF HYPOTHETICALS THAT COULD BE HERE.

RIGHT.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER, IT'S THE DIFFERENCES OF THE QUARTER BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS IS $2 MILLION MORE THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.

RIGHT.

MAYBE THEY WERE PATTING THEIR, THEIR NUMBERS.

RIGHT.

MAYBE THEY ACCIDENTALLY ADDED A TWO, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE BIDDER IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S CORRECT.

AND IF THEY DON'T, THEN UNFORTUNATELY THEY, FOR THEM, THEY MISS OUT.

YEAH.

THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

WE HAD MULTIPLE BIDS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING, RIGHT.

I MEAN, TWO OF THEM ARE PRETTY CLOSE THIS OTHER GUY.

I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS OUTLIERS.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SINGLE BID BETTER ON A LOT OF JOBS THAT DOESN'T REALLY TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WERE WAY TOO HIGH.

I DID A COUPLE OF OTHER, SORRY.

I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS.

UM, WHO'S GOING TO BE TOWN'S REPRESENTATIVE.

WHO'S THE PERSON.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY, UM, WE RECEIVED A CONTRACT FROM A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO BE ARMED REPRESENTATIVE.

AND THAT WILL BE THE TOWN'S CONSTRUCTION MANAGER FOR THE PROJECT.

UM, ON, FROM A TOWN SIDE THOUGH, UM, WE WILL HAVE, THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS IN THAT BUILDING THAT ARE THE EXPERTISE THAT THE GENERAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT THAT WILL BE REVIEWING.

UM, WHAT'S PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR AND THERE WILL ALSO BE STAFF AT THE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB THAT WILL JUMP IN AND REVIEW.

LIKE WE'VE GOT A TEAM THAT'S VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR POLE SYSTEM.

AND IF IT'S REPLACING THOSE CONTROLS AND THOSE ELEMENTS, THEY ALSO WON'T BE INVOLVED IN THE REVIEW.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGER IS GOING TO BE THE PERSON.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW, LIKE, THERE'S GOING TO, I'M GOING TO NEED TO BE PAID POINT PERSON REGARDLESS.

YOU CAN HAVE THESE OTHER CONSULTANTS, OTHER PEOPLE, THEIR EXPERTISE BRINGING THEM, BUT YOU'D HAVE A PERSON.

AND ARE THEY SINGLE PERSON FROM A DECISION-MAKING STANDPOINT INSIDE THE TOWN THAT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, UH, FIRM, OR WE'LL BRING THE CONTRACT BACK AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

AND RIGHT NOW THAT IS INTENDED TO

[00:55:01]

SO WHEN WE SEE THAT, WHAT IT IS AND ALL THAT STUFF, OKAY.

AND THEN I PROBABLY MISSED IT IN THE 1500 PAGES OF STUFF, BUT WHAT'S THE RETAINER'S PERCENTAGE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HOLDING.

I'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS.

SOME OF THESE ARE ONLINE, SOME OF THESE HAVE BEEN HANDED TO ME BY THE RESIDENTS, BUT, UM, UM, HOW ABOUT THE, THE ATRIUM WINDOWS? IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE KIND OF CUSTOM CUT UP ABOVE THE MAIN, THE MAIN LOBBY.
