ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING.

IT IS OUR FIRST MEETING OF THIS NEW COUNCIL AND I'M GLAD TO SEE EVERYBODY AND WE HAVE A HUGE GALLERY.

NOT REALLY GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY, BUT WE ARE STARTING OUT WITH A, AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SO THE FIRST ITEM THAT WE'LL READ TONIGHT WILL BE A CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE ADDISON CITY COUNCIL PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 5 51 0.071 BK ADVICE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING ZONING CASE 1860 EIGHTS U P AND WE'LL GO INTO CLOSED SESSION AT 6 0 1.

OKAY, IT IS, UH, 7 51 AND WE ARE COMING BACK IN FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE'LL GO STRAIGHT INTO THE, OH, THERE'S NO ACTION TAKEN ON THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[2. Present and discuss the Town of Addison Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Financial Report.]

ITEM ONE WAS WITHDRAWN, SO WE'LL GO STRAIGHT TO ITEM TWO.

UH, PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE TOWN OF ADDISON FISCAL YEAR 2023.

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT.

STEVEN, GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNSEL STEVEN GLICKMAN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

AND, UH, PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I'M THE INAUGURAL PERSON TO, UH, TEST OUT ALL THE EQUIPMENT.

SO, UM, HOPEFULLY I, I CAN, UH, GET EVERYTHING TO WORK CORRECTLY.

UH, SO, UH, THIS IS THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT, UH, FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2023.

IS THAT BETTER? UH, SO THIS IS THE, UH, UH, QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR, UH, THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2023.

UM, AND, AND AS I GO THROUGH THIS, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, UH, PLEASE, UH, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

UM, SO LOOKING AT OUR, UH, KEY REVENUE SOURCES, UH, THE, UH, EVERYTHING IS, UH, TRENDING POSITIVELY SO FAR THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER.

UH, PROPERTY TAXES ARE AT ABOUT 101.6% OF OUR BUDGET SO FAR, UH, IN THE GENERAL FUND.

UH, UH, NON-PROPERTY TAXES, WHICH COMPRISE SALES TAXES AND MIXED BEVERAGE TAXES, UH, ARE AT, UH, 50, UH, 4.4% OF OUR BUDGET.

HOTEL TAXES AT ABOUT 55.2% OF OUR BUDGET SO FAR.

UH, FRANCHISE FEES ARE A LITTLE OVER 60% OF OUR BUDGET SO FAR.

UH, SERVICE PERMITTING LICENSE FEES IN THE GENERAL FUND, UH, THOSE ARE A LITTLE BIT SEASONAL AND, UH, A LOT OF THOSE ARE, UH, OCCUR IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER ARE AT JUST UNDER 44%.

UH, FINES AND PENALTIES ARE AT 73%.

UH, SPECIAL EVENT REVENUE FROM THE HOTEL FUND, UH, OCCURS GENERALLY IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

UH, SO THAT IS, UH, NOT OUT OF LINE WITH PREVIOUS FISCAL YEARS.

IT'S AT JUST UNDER 30%.

UH, FUEL FLOWAGE FEES IN THE AIRPORT ARE AT OVER 55%.

AND THEN WATER AND SEWER CHARGES IN THE UTILITY FUND ARE AT 47%.

UH, LOOKING AT THE EXPENDITURE SIDE OF THE BUDGET, UH, WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND, WE'RE AT 46.3% OF THE BUDGET THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER.

UH, THE HOTEL FUND, UH, IS AT 26.1% OF THE, OF THE BUDGET SO FAR.

AND AGAIN, THAT FALLS IN LINE WITH THE REVENUE SIDE, WHICH THE, UH, SPECIAL EVENTS WHICH DON'T OCCUR UNTIL THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER.

UH, SIMILARLY, THE EXPENDITURES DON'T OCCUR UNTIL THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER FOR THE, UH, SPECIAL EVENTS, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT'S AT 34.3% OF THEIR BUDGET.

UH, THE AIRPORT IS AT 47% OF THEIR BUDGET, AND THE UTILITY FUND IS AT JUST UNDER 52% OF THEIR TOTAL BUDGET.

UH, LOOKING AT SALES TAX COLLECTIONS, UH, THIS HAS INFORMATION FROM THE LAST, UH, TWO FULL FISCAL YEARS AS WELL AS THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF, UH, THE FISCAL YEAR, 2023.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OUT OF THE SIX MONTHS THAT ARE BEING REPORTED THAT ARE ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY LOWER, UH, THAN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS, IS THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME SIGNIFICANT, UH, AUDIT AND, UH, PRIOR PERIOD COLLECTIONS FROM, UH, IN FISCAL YEAR 2022

[00:05:01]

UH, THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF OUR SALES TAX.

SO, SO FAR IN TOTAL, ABOUT 7.8 MILLION HAS BEEN COLLECTED OF THE 14.4 MILLION BUDGET, OR ABOUT 54.1% OF THE BUDGET.

AND THEN TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN, THERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF OUR SALES TAX BY ECONOMIC CATEGORY.

UH, THE, UH, MAJOR FACTORS ARE, UH, ACCOMMODATIONS IN FOOD SERVICE, UM, RETAIL AND WHOLESALE TRADE, WHICH MAKE UP JUST UNDER 50% OF OUR TOTAL SALES TAX POOL.

UH, THEN GOING ON TO, UH, A DETAILED LOOK AT OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUE.

AGAIN, EVERYTHING IS TRENDING, UH, POSITIVELY COMPARED TO BUDGET.

SO WE'RE AT 78.4% OF OUR TOTAL REVENUE HAS BEEN COLLECTED SO FAR.

UH, THEN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING AGAIN IS TRENDING, UH, WITHIN BUDGET.

WE'RE AT 46.3% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET HAS BEEN EXPENDED SO FAR.

UH, THEN WITHIN THE HOTEL FUND REVENUES AT 51.2% SO FAR.

AND THEN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, WE'RE AT 26.1%, UH, THROUGH THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS.

UH, THEN ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND, UH, WHICH IS DRIVEN, UH, MAINLY BY PROPERTY TAX, 81.8% OF THE REVENUE HAS COME IN SO FAR, AND THEN JUST 34.3% OF THE EXPENDITURE SIDE.

UH, THEN GOING ON TO THE AIRPORT FUND, 54.1% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET, UH, BUDGETED REVENUE HAS BEEN RECORDED.

AND THEN ON THE OPERATING EXPENSES, WE'RE AT 47% OF OPERATING EXPENSES, UH, THROUGH THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS.

AND THEN GOING ON TO THE UTILITY FUND, UH, 46.8% OF THE REVENUE HAS BEEN, UH, REALIZED, AND THAT'S, UH, NOT OUT OF LINE WITH PREVIOUS FISCAL YEARS.

SO THE WATER SALES ARE VERY SEASONAL, SO WE'LL GENERALLY SEE, UH, A GOOD PORTION OF THOSE COME IN THE FOURTH QUARTER DURING THE SUMMER.

UH, SO 46.8% OF THE REVENUE THERE IS IS A PRETTY GOOD SPOT TO BE IN THROUGH TWO QUARTERS.

AND THEN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, WE'RE AT 51.8% OF THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES HAVE BEEN SPENT.

AND THE MAJOR DRIVER THERE IS OUR DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT, WHICH IS PAID IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

SO, UH, MAKES UP ABOUT 1.4 MILLION OF THE TOTAL 8.1 THAT'S BEEN SPENT SO FAR.

UH, THEN LOOKING AT OUR STORMWATER UTILITY FUND, UH, 53.6% OF OUR REVENUE HAS COME IN SO FAR.

AND THEN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, WE'RE AT 47.8% OF OPERATING EXPENSES.

AND THEN OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX COLLECTIONS.

SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE PRESENTED THIS THAT ACTUALLY, UH, EVERY, EVERY QUARTER THAT'S SHOWN IS CLOSE TO OR ABOVE A MILLION DOLLARS SINCE COVID.

SO THIS IS, THIS IS ACTUALLY STARTING TO LOOK PRETTY, PRETTY, UH, PRETTY DECENT.

SO, UH, FOR THIS QUARTER WE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IN JUST UNDER 1.4 MILLION, UH, IN HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX.

SO IF WE ANNUALIZED THAT AND WE WERE ABLE TO BRING IN ABOUT 5.6 MILLION IN A FISCAL YEAR, WE'D BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE IN THE HOTEL FUND.

AND THEN THIS IS A SHORT, UH, SUMMARY OF OUR INVESTMENT REPORT.

UH, SO TOTAL INTEREST REVENUE THAT WAS GENERATED, UH, IN THE SECOND QUARTER WAS ABOUT $882,000, WHICH WAS ABOUT $266,000 MORE THAN THE PREVIOUS QUARTER.

AND THEN OUR WEIGHTED AVERAGE YIELD TO MATURITY, WHICH IS OF OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO, UH, WAS 2.83%, WHICH WAS AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 0.57% OR ABOUT 25%, UH, INCREASE, UH, FROM THE PREVIOUS QUARTER.

UH, SO OUR INVESTMENT REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TOWN'S POLICY AND THE PUBLIC FUNDS IN INVESTMENT ACT.

GREAT, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UH, ABOUT THE FINANCIAL REPORT, STEVE, AND I'VE GOT A, A COMMENT AND THEN A QUESTION.

UH, THE COMMENT IS, UH, UH, I REALLY LIKE THIS, THIS INVESTMENT REPORT SUMMARY WITH THE, UH, THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE YIELD TO MATURITY A LOT HIGHER THAN WHAT WE WERE FORCED TO LOOK AT A FEW YEARS BACK.

SO THAT'S SURE, ABSOLUTELY.

GREAT, GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

UM, MY QUESTION IS ON THE, UH, GOING BACK TO SLIDE 16 ON THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX COLLECTIONS ARE, ARE WE SENDING OUT NOTICES TO, UM, THOSE THAT HAVEN'T, UM, ARE BEHIND ON A, ON THEIR PAYMENTS OVER A QUARTER? WE, WE ARE.

SO WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY PERFORMING AUDITS AND DOING COLLECTIONS ON THOSE THAT, UM, THROUGH COVID.

SOME, SOME OF THESE WERE OPERATING WITH KIND OF SKELETON CREWS, DIDN'T HAVE, DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE, UH, WORKING IN THEIR HOTELS AND DOING THEIR, DOING THEIR, UH, HOTEL TAX RETURNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THE ONES THAT WERE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND, WE'VE, WE'VE AUDITED AND WE'VE WORKING WITH THEM TO BRING THOSE COLLECTIONS IN.

SO WE DO STILL HAVE A FEW THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT LATE SOMETIMES, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE GETTING ALL OF OUR COLLECTIONS AT THIS POINT.

[00:10:01]

SIGNIFICANTLY.

SO, A QUESTION JUST ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND, UM, A GOOD PROBLEM OR OBSERVATION IS IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD OF, UH, WHAT IT WOULD BE PROPORTIONAL FOR THE YEAR 80%.

IS THERE A REASON BEHIND THAT? THE, THE, THE BIGGEST DRIVER THERE IS OUR PROPERTY TAX.

SO PROPERTY TAXES ARE ALMOST ALL THE WAY COLLECTED BY JANUARY 31ST.

SO THEY'RE A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED PERCENT COLLECTED ON PROPERTY TAX OVERALL.

UM, SO THAT BEING THEIR MAJOR REVENUE SOURCE DRIVES THAT TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE UP.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYBODY? NO, MAYOR.

THANK YOU, STEVEN.

GREAT, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE PROBABLY COMING UP TOO FOR ITEM THREE.

ITEM

[3. Present and discuss the proposed 2023 General Obligation Bonds and 2023 Certificates of Obligation.]

STEVEN.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNSEL, STEVEN GLICKMAN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, AND THIS EVENING, UH, WE'RE GONNA BE DISCUSSING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDING, UH, PLAN AND 2023, UH, BOND ISSUANCE.

UM, AND AGAIN, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS AS I'M GOING THROUGH ANY OF THIS INFORMATION, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO, UH, ASK QUESTIONS AS I'M GOING ALONG.

SO OUR TOTAL PROPOSED 2023 BOND ISSUANCE, UH, INCLUDES A TOTAL ISSUANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF 9.5 MILLION, UH, 5 MILLION BEING FROM GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS THAT WERE APPROVED BY VOTERS IN THE 2019 BOND ELECTION, AND THEN A PROPOSED 4.5 MILLION IN CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, WHICH WOULD BE AUTHORIZED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

UH, 2 MILLION OF THOSE ARE PROPOSED TO BE SUPPORTED BY PROPERTY TAX RELATED TO THE VITRUVIAN DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN 2.5 MILLION WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY THE AIRPORT FUND REVENUE, AND THAT WOULD BE RELATED TO, UH, RECONSTRUCTION OF, UH, STREETS, UH, WITHIN THE AIRPORT.

SO THE, THE TOTAL GENERAL OBLIGATION, UH, PROPOSED AMOUNT OF 5 MILLION INCLUDES, UH, PROPOSITION B, WHICH WAS APPROVED BY VOTERS IN 2019.

AND WHAT MAKES UP THE 5 MILLION IS A PROPOSED $900,000 FOR THE DESIGN OF MONTFORD DRIVE AND 4.1 MILLION FOR THE DESIGN OF QUORUM DRIVE.

AND THEN THIS IS A CHART THAT I'VE SHOWN, UH, EVERY ISSUANCE THAT WE'VE DONE SINCE THE 2019 BOND PROGRAM, UH, WAS APPROVED BY VOTERS, UH, JUST TO SHOW THAT, UH, WHAT WE ARE ISSUING, UH, RELATED TO WHAT WAS TOLD TO THE VOTERS, AND GIVE A COMPARISON OF, OF WHERE WE ANTICIPATE THE OVERALL DEBT SERVICE COST TO BE.

SO WITH THIS 5 MILLION ISSUANCE, WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT VOTERS WERE TOLD BACK IN 2019, THAT THIS 5 MILLION WOULD COST THE VOTERS ABOUT 0.0 6.0067, UH, CENTS ON THE TAX RATE, UH, WITH INTEREST RATES COMING UP, AS I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL AWARE, OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS OR SO, EVEN WITH THAT OCCURRING, WE STILL ANTICIPATE THAT THIS ISSUANCE WOULD BE SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN WHAT WAS PROPOSED, UH, OR PROPOSED TO VOTERS BACK IN 2019.

SO AGAIN, OUR, UH, ESTIMATE IS STILL VERY CONSERVATIVE SO THAT WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT WHEN WE ACTUALLY DO SELL THESE BONDS, THAT WE WOULD PERFORM BETTER, UH, THAN WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY PORTRAYING.

AND EVEN WITH THE CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE, WE'RE SHOWING ABOUT A 1.5%, UM, POSITIVE VARIANTS WHEN COMPARED TO WHAT VOTERS WERE TOLD IN 2019.

UH, THEN IN, UH, THE 2023 PROPOSED CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, UH, INCLUDE AGAIN, A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 4.5 MILLION.

UH, 2 MILLION IS FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, UH, IN VITRUVIAN PARK.

AND THE TOWN HAS A, UH, INVESTMENT AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY JUST UNDER 50 MILLION IN VITRUVIAN PARK.

AND TO DATE, THE TOWN HAS INVESTED APPROXIMATELY 37 MILLION OF THAT 50 MILLION TO DATE.

UH, AFTER THIS 2 MILLION ISSUANCE, UH, THERE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 11 MILLION, UH, OF INVESTMENT REMAINING.

AND THEN THE OTHER 2.5 MILLION IS RELATED TO AIRPORT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, WHICH WOULD BE SERVICED BY THE AIRPORT REVENUE.

AND THEN $1.5 MILLION OF THAT IS FOR JIMMY DOOLITTLE, UH, WHICH IS THE, UH, NOT VERY PRETTY ROAD THAT LEADS UP TO THE VERY PRETTY, UH, BUILDING THAT SITS AT THE END OF IT NOW.

UH, AND THEN A MILLION DOLLARS FOR AIRPORT SERVICE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

SO IN TOTAL, THOSE TWO MAKE, UH, 2.5 MILLION.

AND THEN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ALSO SHOWN SINCE,

[00:15:01]

SO FOR 2024 AND, AND THE, THE BONDS THAT WE WOULD BE ISSUING IN 2023, WE WOULD START REPAYING IN 2024.

SO THOSE WOULD AFFECT THE TAX RATE FOR 2024.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT VOTERS WERE TOLD BACK IN 2018, WE ANTICIPATED THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR, UH, DEBT SERVICE WOULD BE ABOUT 24.65 CENTS.

AND THEN WE, WHEN WE FAST FORWARD TO WHAT OUR ACTUAL RESULTS HAVE BEEN AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING OR WHAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT THE INTEREST IN SINKING PROPERTY TAX RATE WOULD BE NOW, UH, INCLUDING THIS ISSUANCE, WE THINK, WE THINK IT'LL BE ABOUT 16.22 CENTS, WHICH IS OVER AN 8 CENT DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT VOTERS WERE TOLD BACK IN 2019.

UH, NOW THERE'S A FEW, UH, REASONS FOR THAT.

SOME ARE THAT WE HAVE REFUNDED, UH, DEBT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, UH, SAVED THE TOWN SOME MONEY, UH, AND SOME INTEREST SAVINGS.

UH, ANOTHER REASON IS THAT ASSESSED PROPERTY TAX VALUATIONS HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN WHAT WAR ANTICIPATED BACK THEN.

UH, THE, UH, PROJECTS THAT WERE PROPOSED HAVE NOT, UH, BEEN OCCURRING IN THE EXACT ORDER THAT WAS ANTICIPATED BACK THEN.

SO THERE IS A DELTA THERE.

UH, BUT OVERALL, WE'RE, WE'RE, UH, PROJECTING, UH, OVERALL I N S TAX RATE THAT'S SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN WHAT VOTERS WERE ANTICIPATING, UH, WHEN THEY APPROVE THESE BONDS.

UH, THEN OUR TIMELINE, SO WE'RE HERE, UH, MAY 23RD, PRESENTING THE PLAN OF ISSUANCE TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

UH, ON JUNE 13TH.

UH, WE WOULD BRING A ORDINANCE THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE US TO, UH, ADVERTISE A NOTICE OF INTENT PUBLICATION FOR THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, UH, THAT'S REQUIRED TO BE PUBLISHED FOR 47 DAYS.

SO ON JUNE 19TH, WE WOULD, UH, IF APPROVED, UH, WE WOULD POST THAT FIRST PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE OF INTENT.

UH, A WEEK LATER WE WOULD PUBLISH THE SECOND NOTICE OF THAT NOTICE OF INTENT.

AND THEN THE WEEK OF JULY 17TH, WE WOULD HAVE THE RATINGS CALLS WITH BOTH SNPS AND MOODY'S.

UH, JULY 26TH, WE WOULD RECEIVE THOSE RATINGS FROM BOTH S AND P AND MOODY'S.

UH, THEN ON AUGUST 8TH IN THE MORNING, WE WOULD HOLD A COMPETITIVE SALE FOR BOTH THE GENERAL OBLIGATION AND THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

AND THEN AUGUST 8TH THAT EVENING, THAT AT THAT COUNCIL MEETING WOULD, WE WOULD PRESENT AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF BOTH THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND THE CERTIFICATES, UH, TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

AND IF APPROVED ON SEPTEMBER 6TH, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE RECEIVING THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BOND SALE.

GREAT.

AND WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR BOND PLAN.

QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY? NO, MA'AM.

YES, MA'AM.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO ON SLIDE SIX WHERE YOU HAVE THE SCHEDULE, SO WE'RE WAY, WAY BELOW WHAT IT WOULD BE LOOKING LIKE IN 2024 AT, UH, 24 CENTS FOR 16 VERSUS 24.

SO IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT THAT 24 CENTS WILL OCCUR JUST FURTHER IN THE FUTURE? IT, IT ACTUALLY WON'T.

SO NOW, UH, WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PRESENTED IN 2019, THE MAXIMUM TAX RATE WAS GONNA BE ABOUT 26 CENTS.

MM-HMM.

WITH WHAT VOTERS WERE APPROVING.

NOW WE'RE PROJECTING IT TO BE JUST UNDER 22 CENTS.

SO IT'S STILL GONNA BE OVER A 4% OR 4 CENT, UH, DECREASE OVER WHAT VOTERS WERE TOLD IN 2019.

WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, STEVEN.

THANK YOU.

AND, UH, THE COUNCIL IS NOT, UH, NOT ABLE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH YOU, BUT THEY, WE WILL LISTEN TO YOUR COMMENTS.

AND I HAVE ONE CARD IF YOU, IF ANYBODY, IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK, FEEL FREE TO, UH, GRAB A STAFF MEMBER AND GET A CARD FILLED OUT OR JUST RAISE YOUR HAND AND WE'LL CALL ON YOU.

BUT THE ONE CARD I HAVE IS PAUL WALDEN.

PAUL, GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL, UH, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALL THE NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS ON YOUR SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.

AND THAT BRINGS ME TO THE POINT OF MY VISIT WITH Y'ALL TONIGHT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LEARNED OVER MY TIME ON THE COUNCIL WAS, UM, UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE TO LEGISLATE TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR FROM SOMETI FROM TIME TO TIME.

AND SO OUR EXPERIENCE WAS WE WOULD HAVE CANDIDATES WHO WOULD APPLY, UH, FOR, FOR OFFICE AND ON A LARK, NOT DO ANY WORK, NOT, UH, UH, DO ANYTHING BUT PUT THEIR NAME ON THE BALLOT.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE TRIED TO DO WAS TO CREATE A, A, UH, SYSTEM WHERE WE REQUIRED A, A PETITION AND Y'ALL HAD TO DO ALL THAT PETITION.

WELL, YOU CAN THANK ME FOR THAT.

AND, UM, AND WE PUT THAT WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE TO, TO INSTILL THAT IN OUR CITY CHARTER.

AND THE PURPOSE FOR THAT WAS TO TRY TO ELIMINATE THE NONSENSE AND THE SHENANIGANS BY DISINGENUOUS CANDIDATES AND HAVE PEOPLE HAVE A STAKE

[00:30:01]

AND IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE SOMEONE HAVE 25 SIGNATURES ON THEIR PETITION TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.

AND IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME, IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT SOMEONE WHO HAD RUN FOR OFFICE MUCH LESS THE OFFICE OF MAYOR WOULD FORGE THEIR SIGNATURES ON THIS PETITION.

I MEAN, IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS TO TRY TO, I I FAILED TO LEGISLATE TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR.

I FAILED AT THAT.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, UM, SO THAT WAS ONE OBSERVATION.

ONE OF THE OTHER OBSERVATIONS WAS WE ESTABLISHED SOME RULES ABOUT USING THE CITY LOGO, THE SPOT LOGO, AS FAR AS, UH, ON NEW CAMPAIGN MATERIALS AND SOCIAL MEDIA, ET CETERA.

WELL, THE FAILED CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE HAD TO BE TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES, MULTIPLE TIMES TO REMOVE THE SPOT LOGO FROM HER WEBSITE.

AND SO THIS, UM, WHICH IS LIKE, OKAY, I CAN FORGIVE YOU FOR ONE, BUT ONCE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S IT STILL DOING THERE? AND THEN ONLY TO FIND OUT WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE CONFERENCE CENTER ON ELECTION DAY THAT SHE HAD A SPOT LOGO ON HER SHIRT THAT SHE HAD, A SHIRT THAT SHE GOT FROM THE CITIZEN'S CABINET.

IT SAID CITIZEN'S CABINET THERE, BUT THAT'S FINE.

WHAT YOU SAW WAS A SPOT LOGO.

AND THEN THE OTHER OBSERVATION I SAW WAS THERE WERE SIGNS EVERYWHERE, AND WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE SPEAKS TO THAT.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT 'EM OVER THERE IN THE CORNER.

AND THERE WAS NOBODY, APPARENTLY THERE WAS NO STAFF THERE TO WHERE THERE WAS A STAFF PERSON THERE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DIDN'T FEEL EMPOWERED TO, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DIDN'T, WHERE THEY WEREN'T TRAINED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.

SO I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO, TO FINISH A JOB THAT I TRIED TO START AND BRING THIS, UH, UH, ASK STAFF TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA TO REVISIT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW WITH WHAT THE LAW IS, WHAT THE TOOLS YOU HAVE, WHAT THE, WHAT ARE THE TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU UNDER THE STATE LAW TO STOP THE NONSENSE, TO, UH, TO, UH, HAVE PEOPLE ABIDE BY THE RULES AND THE, THE QUORUM THAT WE ASKING PEOPLE.

SO WE DON'T HAVE CHAOS OUT THERE.

AND SO THE PROCESS HERE IS FOR EITHER THE MAYOR OR TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS TO PUT THIS ON THERE.

AND AS PART OF THOSE DELIBERATIONS, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO DIRECT THE CITY MANAGER TO, UH, HAVE A STAFF MEMBER THERE ON SATURDAY ON THE, ON ELECTION DAY WHO IS TRAINED AND WHO HAS EMPOWERED TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

SO, YOU KNOW, AND, AND IT'S NOT WELL, WE'LL, AT SOME POINT IT'S WILLFUL AND, AND ALL THE CANDIDATES GET ADVISED OF WHAT THE, WHAT THE RULES ARE.

SO, YOU KNOW, I I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TOLERANCE FOR THIS, SO I'M GONNA ASK THAT.

THAT'S THE REASON I'M HERE.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD MEETING.

TAKE CARE.

THANK YOU, PAUL.

I, YOU KNOW, THE MAIN THE MAIN THING I WANTED TO BRING UP IS, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, I WAS PART OF A CITY COUNCIL THAT APPROVED, UH, APPROVED THIS, UH, IN THE, NOT THIS AMENDMENT, BUT, BUT BASICALLY THE ONE LEADING UP BEFORE THIS.

UM, AND I'M SUPER EXCITED THAT THEY WANT TO MOVE UP THE, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW F B L.

THIS IS HUGE.

UM, REALLY BIG DEAL.

AND, AND, UH, IN THE PAST I'VE HEARD A LOT OF DISCUSSION, UM, ABOUT, YOU KNOW, CAN WE, CAN WE HAVE THREE FBOS SURVIVE AND CAN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE NEVER REALLY HAD THAT HAPPEN.

AND, AND NOW IT, IT APPEARS THAT, THAT, THAT THAT IS HAPPENING.

CAPTION IS CONSIDERED ACTION ON A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A DALLAS AREA RAPID TRANSIT APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S 2023 TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE SET ASIDE CALL FOR PROJECTS.

UM, AND, AND ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS, IT'S, IT'S REFERRING TO THE TRAIL, AND IT'S REFERRING TO ONCE THE TRAIL IS BUILT, THAT ADDISON WILL MAINTAIN THAT.

AND I WAS TRYING TO GET A BETTER FEEL, UH, FOR, FOR THE DEFINITION OF MAINTAINED.

DOES THAT MEAN REPAIR, REPLACE? ARE WE GONNA OWN THAT ASSET AFTER, AFTER IT'S BUILT? GOOD AFTERNOON, JOE PACK, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PARKS.

SO TO YOUR QUESTION, MAINTENANCE IS AN OVERALL TAKING BY THE CITY OF THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THE TRAIL, AND THE AREA AROUND IT WILL BE MOWED AND TRIM.

SO WE WILL HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE.

OKAY.

[11. Present, discuss, and consider action on a Resolution approving a construction services agreement with Dean Electric, Inc. for Vitruvian Park Fitness Court and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement in an amount not to exceed $234,959.]

FOR VITRUVIAN PARK FITNESS COURT, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $234,959.

HELLO, JOE, WELCOME BACK.

JOE PACK, AGAIN, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PARKS.

SO I'M VERY PLEASED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRIVIAN PARK FITNESS COURT AND SLAB, AND THE AWARD OF, UH, CONTRACTOR SERVICES AGREEMENT TO DEAN ELECTRIC.

SO IN YOUR AGENDA MEMO PACKAGE, I INCLUDED A LOT OF VERY DETAILED INFORMATION AND ALSO LIKEWISE, IN YOUR PACKAGE, YOU ALSO HAVE, UH, SOME VERY DETAILED INFORMATION ON QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED TO.

SO THIS PARTICULAR POWERPOINT IS GONNA BE VERY SHORT, BUT AS ALWAYS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ONCE WE CONCLUDE.

SO, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021, THERE WERE DUAL RESOLUTIONS THAT WERE APPROVED IN A COUNCIL MEETING.

AND THE RESOLUTION, THE FIRST RESOLUTION WAS FOR THE TOWN'S INTENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2021 NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN GRANT PROGRAM FOR $25,000 TOWARDS PURCHASE OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT.

AND THEN CONCURRENTLY WITH THAT, COUNCIL APPROVED A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A PURCHASE ORDER, UH, I'M SORRY, PURCHASE OUTDOOR FITNESS COURT EQUIPMENT FROM NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN FOR $124,265.

THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND IS NOW STORED IN A CONTAINER ON THE SITE.

AND THEN ON MARCH 8TH, COUNCIL RECOMMENDED THAT STAFF MOVE FORWARD WITH A NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN FITNESS COURT TO VITRUVIAN PARK.

AND UPON THAT RECOMMENDATION, STAFF BEGAN A LOT OF SITE EXPLORATION TO LOOK INTO SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF THE SITE, AND DO A LOT OF DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE ENGAGING WITH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

AND SO ONCE THAT DUE DILIGENCE WAS COMPLETE ON MAY 13TH, 2022, STAFF AWARDED A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AMENDMENT TO PARK HILL TO DESIGN THE FITNESS COURT SLAB AT THE NEW LOCATION IN TRIVION IN VITRUVIAN PARK.

THIS IS ALSO REQUIRED A NEW SITE SURVEY THAT IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION OF THE FLOODPLAIN AND FLOODWAY ALONG WITH A GEOTECHNICAL REPORT.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE FLOODPLAIN AND THE FLOODWAY HAPPENED TO BE WITH JUST IN A FEW FEET OF WHERE WE WANTED TO PLACE THAT COURT.

SO IT WAS IMPORTANT WHERE WE KNEW WHERE THOSE LINES OF DEMARCATION WERE FOR THOSE ITEMS SO WE COULD SAFELY SAVE OUR CONSTRUCTION OUT OF THAT.

AND ALSO, AS A SIDE NOTE, PARK HILL IS THE SAME CONSULTANT THAT PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FOR US ON, UH, REDDING TRAIL AMENITIES PROJECT AND THE DRAINAGE AS WELL.

AND SINCE JUNE OF 2022, THE DESIGN PROCESS BROUGHT DISCOVERY OF SEVERAL CONSIDERABLE SITE CONSTRAINTS THAT HAD TO BE OVERCOME OVER THE COURSE OF THE FOLLOWING SEVERAL MONTHS.

SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE LOCATION THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN.

YOU CAN SEE INSIDE THE YELLOW CIRCLE, YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE RED COURT IS KIND OF OUT, OR THE, THE COURT IS OUTLINED IN RED.

AND, UH, THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE FEEL AT THIS POINT, EVEN WITH THE CONSTRAINTS THAT WERE ENCOUNTERED FOR THIS PROJECT, THAT THIS IS A GREAT SITE FOR THIS FITNESS COURT.

AND SO ONE OF THE, THE MAIN, UH, ATTRIBUTES TO THE FITNESS COURT LOCATION IS THE PARKING LOT THAT SITS JUST TO THE WEST OR TO THE LEFT OF THAT FITNESS COURT.

PARKING LOT IS TOWN PROPERTY.

IT IS AN OFFICIAL TRAIL HEAD FOR THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

THERE ARE FOUR ACCESSIBLE SPACES FOR PARKING.

THERE ARE

[00:45:01]

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, JUST TO THE RIGHT OF WHERE THAT FITNESS COURT IS, THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE VITRUVIAN TRAIL.

AND DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY IN THE CITY OF FARMER'S BRANCH.

AND THIS TRAIL WILL CONNECT FROM VITRUVIAN DOWN TO, UM, THE BROOKHAVEN COLLEGE, AND THEN EVENTUALLY AROUND TO THE PARISH EPISCOPAL SCHOOL, JUST TO THE WEST OF THAT PARKING LOT, OR EAST OF THAT PARKING LOT THAT YOU SEE THERE.

AND SO, NOT ONLY ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF USERS OF THE FITNESS COURT FROM BROOKHAVEN COLLEGE, THE PARISH, EPISCOPAL SCHOOL, BUT ALSO THE 4,725 RESIDENTS THAT RESIDE AT, UH, THE TRIVIAN AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS THAT THEY OFFER THERE.

AND THERE IS ALSO, UH, AN OUTDOOR FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS THAT DOES A BOOTCAMP IN VITRUVIAN PARK THREE TIMES A WEEK.

AND HIS PROGRAM IS GROWING.

AND SO HE'S VERY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF INTEGRATING HIS PROGRAM INTO THE VITRUVIAN FITNESS COURT.

AND ONE THING THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS CLEAR ON IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT IS GONNA BE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COURT ITSELF, AND THEN THE FITNESS EQUIPMENT WILL BE INSTALLED 30 DAYS AFTER A CURE PROCESS ON THE CONCRETE BY, UH, CON BY CONTRACTORS THAT ARE HIRED BY NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN.

SO, UH, JUST WANTED TO VISIT WITH YOU BRIEFLY.
