RIGHT INTO OUR WORK SESSION REPORTS. 
          ITEM SEVEN A IS PRESENT AND DISCUSS CHIEF, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY UPDATES. 
          CHIEF SPENCER. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNSEL PAUL SPENCER, CHIEF OF POLICE. 
          UH, TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA GIVE A A QUICK UPDATE ON OUR PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, ISSUES AROUND TOWN THAT ARE OF IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, WE'RE BASICALLY GONNA BREAK IT DOWN INTO FOUR QUICK SECTIONS. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A STATISTICAL REVIEW AND TALK ABOUT, UH, SOME RECENT CRIME TRENDS WE'VE HAD, UH, THAT WERE KIND OF A TALK AROUND TOWN. 
          WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT SOME, SOME CRIME PREVENTION TECHNIQUES AS A RESULT OF THOSE ISSUES. 
          WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT, UH, UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, OUR KIND OF OUR REINVIGORATION OF OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA WRAP THINGS UP WITH A QUICK DISCUSSION, UH, REGARDING HOMELESSNESS VERY QUICKLY. 
          AS A REMINDER, UH, ADDISON, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS THE TOWNS SPLIT INTO SIX DISTINCT DISTRICTS, UH, ONE THROUGH SIX. 
          IT'S REPRESENTED ON OUR MAP, UH, FOR ALL OF OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          WE WENT BACK TO OCTOBER OF 2022, UH, AND WENT TO OCTO BASICALLY A YEAR, UH, TO DATE, AND LOOKED AT OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE, OUR SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY, AND THE REPORTS THAT WERE HAVE BEEN WRITTEN. 
          UM, ALWAYS LIKE TO CALL OUT THE SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY COMPONENT. 
          WE HAVE A, A HIGHER NUMBER THERE, OBVIOUSLY, AND THAT'S FROM A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE ASK OUR OFFICERS TO DO, SUCH AS CLOSE PATROLS AND PARK PATROLS AND FOOT PATROLS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN THEY'RE NOT AT ACTUALLY ANSWERING A CALL FOR SERVICE THAT CAME THROUGH THE DISPATCH CENTER. 
          IT'S STUFF THAT THEY'RE GENERATING BASED ON EITHER OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR DAILY WORK OR GOOD POLICE WORK, AND THEY'RE SEEING THINGS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT PIQUE 
          [00:05:01]
THEIR INTEREST. 
          WE ALSO LOOK AT OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE BY, BY TYPE. 
          UM, THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE MAJORITY OF OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE, UH, OR WHAT WE CALL JUST KIND OF COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY CARETAKING FUNCTIONS. 
          WE HAVE MINOR DISTURBANCES, BURGLAR ALARMS, SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, WELFARE CHECKS, MINOR ACCIDENTS, ET CETERA. 
          UH, THE 40% THERE ON THE, ON THE LEFT IS, IS IS OTHER. 
          AND WE BREAK THAT OUT INTO THEFTS OF MOTOR VEHICLES, MAJOR DISTURBANCES, ANIMAL COMPLAINTS, AND 9 1 1 HANGUPS. 
          AGAIN, THE SELF-INITIATE ACTIVITY, I, I'D ALLUDED TO EARLIER, A LOT OF THAT IS, UH, GENERAL PATROLS TRAFFIC STOPS. 
          UH, PARK PATROLS. 
          OUR AIRPORT, AGAIN, OUR, OUR OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED TO CHECK THE AIRPORT TWICE A DAY, UH, REGARDLESS OF OF, OF THEY'RE ACTUALLY ASSIGNED TO THE AIRPORT. 
          UM, WE ALSO HAVE BUSINESS CONTACTS. 
          WE HAVE PARKING VIOLATION COMPLAINTS AND OTHER THINGS. 
          OUR DIRECT TO PATROLS THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE LEFT, THAT ALSO IS, THAT'S OUR MANDATORY DIRECTIVE FOR OFFICERS TO CHECK ON HOUSES ON BUSINESSES, AND THAT'S ALSO, UM, DETECTIVES WORKING CASES CAN ALSO SEND INTEL TO OUR PATROL OFFICERS ON WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR CERTAIN THINGS. 
          WE'RE GONNA GONNA GET INTO OUR ACTUAL CRIME STATS AND IVERS, AGAIN, AS A REMINDER, IT'S NATIONAL INCIDENT BASED REPORTING SYSTEM. 
          UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CONVERTED TO IVERS FROM THE UCR, WHICH IS THE UNIFORM SUMMARY REPORTING BACK IN 2019. 
          AND 2020 WAS OUR FIRST FULL YEAR. 
          THESE ARE SHOW YOU JUST THE TOP, UM, TOP PROP. 
          BASICALLY THE, THE NEIGHBORS IS SPLIT INTO TWO SECTIONS. 
          WE HAVE GROUP A AND GROUP B. 
          UH, THE GROUP A CONSISTS OF THE BOTTOM THREE, UH, PROPERTY CRIME, SOCIETAL CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS. 
          AND THEN THE GROUP B CRIME ARE REALLY YOUR MINOR THINGS, FAMILY OFFENSES, UM, ALCOHOL RELATED OFFENSES AND THAT KIND OF THING. 
          YOU NOTICE ON THE, THE ORANGE PART IS PROPERTY CRIME. 
          THAT'S MAJORITY OF ADDISON'S CRIME STATUS. 
          ADDISON'S ALWAYS HAD, UH, OUR FAIR SHARE OF PROPERTY CRIME AND VERY LOW CRIME CRIMES AGAINST A PERSON. 
          THAT'S NOT A BAD THING WE WANT, IT'S A VERY SAFE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, BUT WE DO, BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE TOLLWAY, WE HAVE A LOT OF ENTERTAINMENT AREAS, RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS, UH, BURGLARIES OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, BEEN AN ISSUE FOR US. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THIS IS FOR THE YEAR BACK FROM OCTOBER, UH, 2022 TO 2023. 
          IT'S BEEN FAIRLY STEADY, AND WE'RE GONNA GET INTO MORE GRANULAR DETAIL ON, ON A COUPLE THINGS HERE IN JUST A SECOND. 
          SO, LOOKING AT PROPERTY CRIME, A LITTLE MORE DETAIL. 
          UM, AGAIN, THE MAJORITY IS GOING TO BE OUR VEHICLE THEFT. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT HERE AT THE END. 
          WE'VE SEEN A BIG INCREASE, A BIG INCREASE IN, UH, VEHICLE THEFTS AND ACTUALLY A DECREASE IN, IN BURGLARIES OF MOTOR VEHICLES. 
          AND THEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFTS HAVE GONE DOWN AS WELL WITH SOME LAW CHANGES. 
          NOT ONLY OUR ORDINANCE CHANGE, BUT ALSO STATE LAW CHANGES. 
          AND THIS, THIS IS ONE OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE RECENTLY, UH, WE'LL TALK AGAIN MORE ABOUT THIS IN JUST A SECOND, BUT VEHICLE THEFTS ARE ON THE RISE. 
          THEY'RE ON THERI, ON THE, ON THE RISE NATIONALLY. 
          IT'S NOT JUST A ADDISON PROBLEM. 
          IT'S NOT JUST ADFW OR TEXAS PROBLEM. 
          IT IS A, IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. 
          AND, AND A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH TECHNOLOGY CHANGES FOR VEHICLES. 
          UH, THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS, UH, THE PUSH BUTTON STARTS SYSTEMS, THAT KIND OF THING. 
          THERE'S SOME, THERE'S SOME TECHNOLOGY NOW THAT'S WIDELY AVAILABLE ONLINE THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO DEFEAT THAT FAIRLY EASILY. 
          AND IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A DILEMMA. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE TAKING, NOW I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE DOING TO TRY TO MITIGATE SOME OF THAT HERE IN ADDISON. 
          AND AS I MENTIONED, OUR THEFT FOR MOTOR VEHICLES HAVE GONE DOWN. 
          UH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD THING. 
          IT SEEMS THAT, UH, THIS IS PROBABLY JUST A CORRELATION TO WHAT THE GROUPS THAT ARE TARGETING OUR COMMUNITY ARE FOCUSING ON, WHICH IS THE VEHICLE THEFT A AND NOT MAINLY THE, THE BRAKING IN THE CARS AS MUCH. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE IT. 
          THIS NEXT SLIDE IS ALSO THE PARTS AND ACCESSORY THEFTS. 
          THIS IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER COM UH, THEFTS. 
          THEY'VE GONE DOWN DRAMATICALLY SINCE, SINCE THE STATE LAW CHANGES. 
          AND, UH, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF HOPE THAT IT'LL MAINTAIN THAT. 
          UH, WE'VE GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA FIX THIS VEHICLE THEFT ISSUE. 
          BUT AT LEAST ON THE BURGLARY OF VEHICLES AND THE THE CATA CONVERTER THEFTS, WE ARE SEEING A, SOME IMPROVEMENT THERE. 
          AND THAT'S NOT JUST ADDISON, THAT'S REGIONALLY. 
          SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME TO OUR ATTENTION, UH, IT WAS VIA SOCIAL MEDIA VIA SOME OF THE OTHER, UH, LIKE NEXTDOOR, UH, ONLINE, UH, FORUMS WAS, UH, A BIG UP INCREASE IN VEHICLE THEFTS AT BOTH 5,000 BELT LINE ADDISON WALK AND THE 5,100 BLOCK OF BELT LINE WHERE WHOLE FOODS AND, AND, UM, A LOT OF OUR, UH, NIGHTLIFE IS OVER THERE. 
          UH, A LOT OF THIS WE ARE WORKING WITH NOT ONLY OUR METROCREST POLICE DEPARTMENTS, BUT ALSO, UH, REGIONALLY IN DALLAS-FORT WORTH, LIKE DALLAS, AND, UH, A LOT OF OUR OTHER JURISDICTIONS, THESE ARE ORGANIZED GROUPS. 
          UH, SOME OF 'EM ARE COMING OUTTA LOUISIANA, UH, BOER CITY AND SHREVEPORT IS ONE OF 'EM. 
          UH, BUT THEY'RE TARGETING HIGH DOLLAR SPORTS CARS, CHEVROLET CAMAROS, CORVETTES, DODGE CHARGERS, AND CHALLENGERS. 
          UH, WE'VE EVEN SEEN, UH, THE NEW CHEVROLET TRUCKS OR, OR A TARGET. 
          [00:10:01]
AND IT REALLY, THEY'RE EXPLODING THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURING VULNERABILITIES, UH, AND THE VEHICLE KEY REPROGRAMMING. 
          THEY CAN DISABLE TRACKING. 
          THEY CAN HACK INTO BASICALLY THE SYSTEM, UH, WITH THESE SKIMMERS AND RFID DEVICES. 
          AND THEN EVEN NOW THEY'RE DOING THE, THE OBD TWO, THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS PORT THAT EVERY CAR HAS UNDER THE DASH. 
          UM, I SAW PLANO ACTUALLY POSTED A, A, UH, A FACEBOOK, UM, POST TODAY TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE'S NOW A LOCK YOU CAN PUT ON THAT, THAT OBD TWO PORT. 
          WE'RE GONNA RESEARCH THAT A LITTLE BIT AND WE'LL GET THAT INFORMATION OUT AS WELL. 
          THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR ME. 
          BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE ACCESSING THE, THAT'S A DIRECT ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THROUGH THAT OBD TWO PORT. 
          AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE, THEY'RE USING THAT TO GET IN AND THEY CAN BE GONE IN TWO MINUTES. 
          AND IT'S A VERY UNREMARKABLE CRIME. 
          SO OUR PATROL OFFICERS THAT ARE PATROLLING THE AREAS, OR EVEN ANY OF US JUST WALKING AROUND, WOULDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT. 
          'CAUSE THEY WALK UP TO THE CAR, THEY HIT A BUTTON, THEY GET IN THE CAR, AND THEY DRIVE OFF. 
          AND SO IT DOESN'T PIQUE ANYBODY'S INTEREST, UH, FROM A, YOU KNOW, FROM OUR PATROL STANDPOINT. 
          SO WE GOT A LOT TO DO WITH THAT. 
          UM, OFFENSES IN THE PAST YEAR, AGAIN, THESE ARE PRETTY STRIKING. 
          WE'VE HAD, UH, IT WAS REPORTED ON ADDISON WALK, AND WE'VE ADDRESSED THIS, I THINK WITH AN EMAIL TO COUNSEL, BUT THERE WAS, THERE WAS SOME ONLINE CHATTER ABOUT 30 CARS THAT WERE STOLEN. 
          IT WAS NOT THE CASE. 
          IT WAS, IT WAS 12, AND NOW WE HAVE 14 TOTAL ON, ON ADDISON WALK. 
          BUT WE'VE HAD 81 AT VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S VERY HIGH. 
          UM, SO WE'RE, WE ADDRESSED THAT IN A COUPLE WAYS. 
          UM, WE'VE USED EVERY AVAILABLE MEANS WE HAVE, FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE, UH, WE HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ARRESTS. 
          UH, WE ARE WORKING WITH, AGAIN, OUR OTHER CITIES TO HELP COORDINATE THAT RESPONSE. 
          IT'S NOT JUST US. 
          IT'S PARTNERING WITH ALL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY CARROLLTON FARMERS, BRANCH CABBEL. 
          UM, I'VE AUTHORIZED OVERTIME TO START, UH, TRYING TO TARGET THAT FROM A PATROL STANDPOINT. 
          SO WE'VE GOT OFFICERS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DRIVING THE AREAS. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE IN UNMARKED CARS AND THAT KIND OF THING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN CATCH SOME FOLKS. 
          AND WE ARE AN INTELLIGENCE LED POLICING, UH, DEPARTMENT. 
          AND SO WE WANT TO USE OUR, UH, CRIME ANALYSIS AND USE HOTSPOTS, AND WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON TIMES AND DATES. 
          OUR CRIME ANALYSTS PUT TOGETHER A GOOD SHEET FOR THOSE OFFICERS, NOT ONLY IN PATROL, BUT WORKING THOSE OVERTIME SLOTS WHERE WE CAN TARGET THINGS WHEN IT'S MOST LIKELY GONNA HAPPEN. 
          AND WE'VE ACTUALLY, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE WHERE WE'VE GOTTEN INTO SOME SMALL PURSUITS WITH PEOPLE AND, AND, UH, IT'S PAID OFF, RIGHT? SO NOW WE'VE GOT, UM, WE'RE SEEING A, A DECREASE IN THE THEFTS OF VEHICLES ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE, WE STARTED WORKING THESE MITIGATION STRATEGIES. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO THAT. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT ALSO, UH, OUR COMMUNICATION MARKETING MARY ROSELEE IS HELPING GET OUT SOME OF THE TAKE LOCK HIDE SIGNS THAT ARE ADDISON BRANDED. 
          WE'RE GOING TO GET WITH THE, UH, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND TRY TO GET THOSE DISTRIBUTED AS SOON AS WE CAN. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO, UH, EVERYTHING WE CAN FROM A COMMUNITY OUTREACH STANDPOINT TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON WHAT THEY CAN DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. 
          JUST A QUICK, JUST A COUPLE QUICK SLIDES ON OUR CRIME PREVENTION EFFORTS. 
          JUST TO REMIND PEOPLE, UH, WE DO HAVE A, A VERY ROBUST LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION OPTICAL CAMERA PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. 
          UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE FINDING THOUGH, WITH, WITH THE VEHICLE THEFTS IN 5,000 5,100 BLOCK OF BELT LINE, THEY'RE USING STOLEN VEHICLES TO STEAL VEHICLES . 
          AND SO, UM, IF IT'S REPORTED, THEN THE LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SYSTEM'S GONNA ALERT OUR OFFICERS IN THE FIELD. 
          WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD A COUPLE OF THOSE, AND THE OFFICERS JUMPED ON 'EM PRETTY QUICK. 
          BUT IF IT'S A, IF IT'S RECENTLY STOLEN, HASN'T BEEN REPORTED, OR HASN'T BEEN ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM YET, THEN BASICALLY IT'S GONNA, IT'S NOT GONNA PICK UP ON IT. 
          SO DOES, BUT THEN IT DOES GIVE US SOME INTELLIGENCE. 
          AND, UM, THE OPTICAL CAMERA PROGRAM AS WELL. 
          WE'RE GONNA DO COMMUNITY OUT. 
          WE DO COMMUNITY OUTREACH SEMINARS. 
          UH, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL HERE RECENTLY AT, AT THE ATHLETIC CENTER. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HWAY CRIME MEETINGS THAT WE ATTEND. 
          AGAIN, AS A REMINDER, OUR CRIME PREVENTION, UH, EFFORTS ARE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT, THAT WE, WE DO OUR JOBS AND MAKE SURE THAT, THAT, UH, WE HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY THAT COMES FROM BUILDING AND MAINTAINING TRUST. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY TO, TO TRY TO SOLVE, UH, THESE ISSUES. 
          AGAIN, QUICKLY. 
          BEST WAY, UH, FROM YOUR, FROM YOUR HOME IS TO CLOSE AND LOCK YOUR GATES, GARAGE DOORS. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF, OF THEFTS IN OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS, ESPECIALLY THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME AREAS. 
          BUT TYPICALLY WHEN WE DO, THEY, SOMEBODY'S LEFT THEIR CAR OPEN, UNLOCKED, UH, OR THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN. 
          WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN TOWN, UH, REALLY ALL OVER DALLAS OR ANYWHERE YOU TRAVEL, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR CARS. 
          IF YOU CAN HIDE IT, HIDE IT, UH, THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE WAY THAT SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET INTO YOUR VEHICLE IS, IS 'CAUSE THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH THEIR TIME AND EFFORT TO DO THAT. 
          AND AGAIN, LIGHT UP YOUR ENTRANCE TO YOUR HOME AND YOUR DRIVEWAYS. 
          CONSIDER INSTALLING, UH, EITHER EXTERIOR CAMERAS, UH, OR JOIN A VIDEO SHARING WEBSITE WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS. 
          WE DON'T AND CAN'T ENDORSE PRODUCTS, BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THE, THE MAINSTREAM, UM, CONTEMPORARY PRODUCTS THAT ARE OUT THERE AS FAR AS THE, THE DIFFERENT CAMERAS AND DOORBELLS AND THAT KIND OF THING. 
          SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE TALKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S 
          [00:15:01]
OFFICE, AND, AND THIS CAME OUT OF COVID AND WE WERE STRUGGLING TO KIND OF GET OUR FOOTING BACK UNDER US, UM, WAS REFOCUSING OUR EFFORTS IN THE, IN THE, FOR OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH. 
          AND REALLY THERE'S, THERE'S THREE DISTINCT FOCUSES FOR THAT. 
          NUMBER ONE IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING EFFORTS. 
          UH, OTHER THING IS OUR EVENT PROGRAMMING. 
          AND THEN TWO OR THIRD IS OUR INFORMATION SHARING AND SOCIAL MEDIA, NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND WE ALL LIVE SOMEWHERE AS WELL, RIGHT? I LIVE IN PLANO AND I WANT PLANO TO DRIVE THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AS MUCH AS THAT THEY CAN. 
          AND, UH, I ACTUALLY, MY CAMERA IN MY DRIVEWAY CAUGHT A GUY TRYING TO GET INTO MY TRUCK A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I CALLED PLANO AND, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE THERE, RIGHT? SO THAT'S, THAT'S A GOOD THING. 
          UM, BUT WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR FOCUS ON OUR PATROL OFFICERS SPENDING TIME IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. 
          ONE OF THE ISSUES WE'VE HAD IN ADDISON FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE WORKED HERE IS, YOU KNOW, 85, 70 5% OF OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE. 
          OUR ACTIVITY COMES OUTTA THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE HOTELS. 
          UM, IT'S A CONSTANT PULL, A CONSTANT PULL OUT OF THE, THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, US HAVING TO, WE'RE BASICALLY HAVING TO FORCE OURSELVES BACK TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY. 
          MAKE SURE OUR SUPERVISORS AND FIELD SUPERVISORS UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOTTA MANAGE THAT WORK PRODUCT ON A DAILY BASIS TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET CONSUMED WITH THAT. 
          UM, AND THEN AGAIN, BE CONTINUE, CONTINUE OUR RESPONSIVENESS TO TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS, PARKING ISSUES AS THEY COME IN, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THE FIXIT APP OR, OR EVEN, UH, EMAILS, UH, THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMAND OR, OR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, UH, ING'S RESPONSIVE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. 
          AND PROACTIVE IS, IS GONNA HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR, UH, HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS. 
          UH, HISTORICALLY WE'VE RELIED ON PEOPLE REACHING OUT TO US WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY WANT US TO ATTEND, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GO, GO TO THEM AND START NOT PUSHING OURSELVES ON THEM, BUT OFFERING OUR SERVICES AS MUCH AS THEY'LL ALLOW US TO AND, AND TRY TO GET SOME MORE TRACTION AND GET SOME MORE FACETIME WITH OUR DIFFERENT HOAS AROUND TOWN, WHETHER IT'S IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, UM, OR THE, EVEN THE, THE, SOME OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. 
          UH, WE'VE, WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THEM ALREADY. 
          WE'VE, WE'RE SETTING UP SOME DATES AND WE CAN COMMUNICATE SOME, SOME MORE OF THAT AS, AS WE GET IT SET. 
          UM, OUR EVENT PROGRAMMING, UH, I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE ALWAYS DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB WITH THIS ONE. 
          UH, MAIN THING FOR US IS FINDING OUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS US WANTS FROM US. 
          UH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S CRUCIAL TO BUILDING AND MAINTAINING TRUST. 
          IT GIVES PEOPLE, UM, SOME OPPORTUNITY TO MEET OUR EMPLOYEES AND NOT JUST MEET, AND NOT JUST THE COMMAND STAFF. 
          IT'S A LOT OF OUR INSTRUCTORS, WE WILL TEACH THOSE CLASSES OR PUT ON THOSE SEMINARS. 
          IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GET TO KNOW THEM. 
          UH, WE'RE GONNA, WE DO HAVE QUARTERLY PROGRAMMING AT THE AS ATHLETIC CENTER. 
          UM, IN FACT, WE ARE HAVE A NEW, SOMETHING NEW WE'RE GONNA DO FOR FIRST TIME EVER. 
          SO THE NATIONAL, UH, PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKEBACK. 
          AND THAT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING WE DO ON THE 28TH OF OCTOBER, I BELIEVE. 
          WE AT THE ATHLETIC CENTER AND ALSO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR ATHLETIC CENTER STAFF TO GENERATE IDEAS AND SEEK INPUT FROM RESIDENTS. 
          AND, UH, WE'VE GOTTEN SOME PRETTY GOOD IDEAS FROM THE ATHLETIC CENTER. 
          WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK ON BUILDING THAT OUT. 
          MAIN THING FOR ME IS MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO IT, AND THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN IT AND SUSTAIN IT OVER TIME. 
          UM, ONE OF, LIKE, I THINK WE HAD ONE BEFORE THE WOMEN'S SELF-DEFENSE COURSE. 
          THAT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT ONE TO PUT ON. 
          'CAUSE WE HAD TO HAVE, I DON'T HAVE CERTIFIED TRAINERS THAT CAN, THAT HAVE THAT SKILLSET, AND WE'RE RELYING ON SOME VOLUNTEERISM. 
          UH, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO AS MUCH AS THE COMMUNITY CAN ASK OF US. 
          UH, WE ARE ALSO GONNA HAVE PARTICIPATED, WE'LL CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SOCIAL EVENTS THAT AT THAT ATHLETIC CENTER. 
          UM, WE'VE HAD SOME OFFICERS CALL IN SOME OF THE SENIOR BINGO EVENTS AND, UH, THE SENIOR SOCIALS, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO FROM A, THAT'S DIFFERENT IS TRY TO SET UP SOME MEET AND GREETS AT THE ATHLETIC CENTER. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE TELLING US PROBABLY 5 30, 6 30 IN THE EVENING IS THE BEST TIME, BUT WE'LL RELY ON THEM TO GIVE US SOME DIRECTION ON THAT. 
          AND MYSELF, ASSISTANT CHIEF VINCENT AND SOME OF OUR OTHER OFFICERS AND SUPERVISORS, WE'RE GONNA MIX IT UP AND WE'LL JUST KIND OF HANG OUT AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AND GET TO KNOW PEOPLE AND GET SOME FACE TIME WITH FOLKS. 
          AND HOPEFULLY, UH, LIKE I SAID, THAT'LL GIVE US SOME POSITIVE INTERACTIONS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS, ANSWER CONCERNS, GET OUT IN FRONT OF IT BEFORE THEY HAVE TO EMAIL THE COUNCIL OR THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WHEN THEY'RE, WHEN THEY'RE UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING. 
          AND THE LAST THING IS OUR INFORMATION SHARING AND SOCIAL MEDIA, UH, AGAIN, TIMELY AND ACCURATE COMMUNICATION IS VERY CRITICAL. 
          UH, WE ARE WORKING WITH IT AND OUR, MY CRIME ANALYSIS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO CREATE A DASHBOARD THAT'S HOPEFULLY IT'S GOING TO REPLACE THE COMMUNITY, UH, CRIME MAPS WEBSITE. 
          WE ALL KNOW THERE'S LIMITATIONS THAT WE'VE RECENTLY, UH, HAD WITH COMMUNITY CRIME MAPS. 
          UH, WE, WE BELIEVE THAT THE DATA ISSUE IS FIXED, BUT THIS STILL DOESN'T GIVE UPDATED INFORMATION, RIGHT? SO PEOPLE GET A, MAYBE A FALSE SENSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          UH, MY CRIME ANALYST SAYS THAT, UH, SHE HAS THE TOOLS AND ABILITY TO GET THIS DONE. 
          SO I WON'T MAKE ANY PROMISES ON TIMELINES. 
          WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THAT NOW, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME GOOD NEWS HERE IN A FEW MONTHS. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO GONNA FOCUS ON MAKING OUR FACEBOOK PAGE A MORE ACTIVE PLACE. 
          UH, WE'RE GONNA GET SOME HELP FROM, FROM MARY AND, AND SOME OF THE OTHER STAFF IN TOWN AND TRY TO KEEP UP WITH A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND EVEN, UH, EXPAND THAT TO SOME OF THE OTHER PLATFORMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          UH, WE ALSO NEED TO INCREASE OUR, INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, UH, 
          [00:20:01]
INFORMATIONAL POSTS, CRIME TRENDS, PREVENTION TIPS, THAT SORT OF THING. 
          UH, WE'RE GONNA PROMOTE, UH, SIGNIFICANT ARREST AND MAJOR, MAJOR CONVICTIONS AND REALLY JUST TELL OUR STORY AND TRY TO HIGHLIGHT THE GOOD WORK THAT OUR OFFICERS, INVESTIGATORS DO EVERY DAY. 
          AND THEN WE RECOGNIZE OUR EMPLOYEE MILESTONES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. 
          WE DO HAVE SOME POSSIBLE NEXT STEPS. 
          AGAIN, IT IS RESOURCE DEPENDENT, BUT WE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE, WE KIND OF PUNTED THE PUBLIC SAFETY OPEN HOUSE THIS YEAR TO DO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          AND I THINK NATIONAL NIGHT OUT WAS A FANTASTIC THING, AND I LIKE THE FORMAT THAT WE SELECTED FOR THAT. 
          BUT WE CAN, WE CAN POSSIBLY STILL DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH FIRE ON THE, ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SIDE IF WE THINK THAT'S GOOD. 
          UM, CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY, WE HAVE NEVER DONE THAT, THAT THAT WASN'T A POLICE DEPARTMENT DECISION. 
          UH, PREVIOUS CITY MANAGEMENT WANTED TO KEEP THE CITIZENS ACADEMY FORMAT, SO ONE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T, DIDN'T DOMINATE. 
          UM, I THINK TALKING WITH, WITH, WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, WE CAN PROBABLY, IF WE CAN, IF WE CAN SWING IT, WE CAN, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO MAYBE DO THE CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY. 
          I THINK PEOPLE WOULD REALLY ENJOY IT. 
          AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE EXPLORING THAT NOW. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A SUB OUTDOOR EVENT AT AAC THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. 
          UH, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS. 
          WE'VE HAD THOSE IN THE PAST. 
          THEY WERE MAINLY FOR OUR, UH, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AREAS, BUT WE WE'RE GOING THROUGH A PROCESS NOW TO LOOK AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD DO IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND OUR FAVORITE TOPIC, HOMELESSNESS. 
          SO HOMELESSNESS CONTINUES TO BE A, A REGIONAL PROBLEM. 
          AND DFW IS THE COST OF LIVING AND POPULATION INCREASES. 
          UH, AGAIN, IT IS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. 
          EVERY POLICE DEPARTMENT, EVERY COMMUNITY'S DEALING WITH IT. 
          UH, WE DO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH METROCREST SERVICES. 
          UH, THEY ARE A CRUCIAL PARTNER FOR US. 
          THEY ARE OUR MAIN SOURCE OF HELP. 
          AND, UH, IN FACT, I, I PROBABLY TALK TO MELANIE OR BOBBY OR, OR ONE OF THE FOLKS AT METROCREST ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          AND SO THEY, METRO CREST SERVICES' GOAL IS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM BECOMING HOMELESS OR UNHOUSED. 
          UH, THEY ARE PIVOTING, THOUGH TO DO MORE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND. 
          UM, THEY DO A LOT OF GOOD WORK, AND WE, THEY ARE, THEY ARE INVALUABLE TO US. 
          UH, THEY HAVE DEVELOPED A COMMU, THEIR COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM, AND I THINK I'VE MENTIONED IT BEFORE, THEY'VE GOT RIGHT NOW 14 VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE HELPING MELANIE AND BOBBY PAGEANT, UH, WE CALL THEM, FOR EXAMPLE, THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S UNDER THE BRIDGE OVER AT, ON WYNWOOD RIGHT NOW, UH, TRYING TO GET HIM TO COME. 
          I'M TRYING TO GET SOME HELP TO THEM, GET THEM OFF THE STREET, GET THEM OUT FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE OR GET THEM OFF THE STREET CORNER. 
          UM, OUR CALLING, THERE'S OTHER NGOS THAT WE CAN USE THAT WE HAVE USED, THAT WE DO USE. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW, METRO PRESS IS OUR GO-TO, AND THEY'RE THE QUICKEST TO RESPOND. 
          UH, THE EDUCATION COMPONENT IS KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE HOMELESSNESS PROBLEM. 
          UH, WE ARE, WE HAVE DEVELOPED IN OUR PARTNERING WITH METRO PRESS, UH, TO PROVIDE AN EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR ON NOVEMBER 6TH HERE AT THE CONFERENCE CENTER. 
          UH, MELANIE ING, WHO'S THE, BASICALLY THE HOMELESS OUTREACH EXPERT FOR METRIC REST IS GONNA BE THE PRESENTER. 
          AND I THINK IT'LL BE A VERY GOOD EDUCATIONAL, IT'S GONNA, IT'S GONNA BE VERY, IT'S GONNA BE A VERY GOOD PROGRAM. 
          SHE'S DONE IT BEFORE FOR THE COMMUNITIES, BUT IT GIVES YOU, IT'S GONNA GIVE THE, THE, THE RESIDENTS AN, AN OVERVIEW OF THE HOMELESSNESS ISSUE IN DALLAS-FORT WORTH. 
          IT'S GONNA EDUCATE THEM ON THE COMPLEXITIES AND THE DIFFICULTIES WITH, WITH THE POPULATION, UH, THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. 
          AND THEN ALSO GIVE THEM SOME, UM, SOME TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX TO HOPEFULLY HELP RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT TO CALL. 
          I'LL BE THERE, UH, OUR STAFF WILL BE THERE TO ANSWER SOME OF THE OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT RELATED QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK IT'S GONNA BE VERY GOOD. 
          IT'LL BE THE FIRST ONE WE'VE DONE SO WE'LL, WE'LL BUILD ON IT AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE SOME STAFF TRAINING SESSIONS. 
          ONE OF THE MANDATES FROM SENIOR MANAGER'S OFFICE WAS FOR ALL OF US TO WORK TOGETHER TO, TO, TO, UM, TO RECOGNIZE PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND, UM, SO WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA TEACH OR HELP TEACH AND EDUCATE OUR OTHER STAFF MEMBERS IN TOWN SO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING. 
          AND THEY'LL, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET THAT DONE IN LATER NOVEMBER. 
          WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH STREETS AND, UH, PARKS TO, THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN AND SIGNAGE TO ADDRESS PANHANDLING. 
          UM, WE ALSO DO BUSINESS SUPPORT AND OUTREACH TO TRY TO MIX BITS FOR BUSINESS, UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN'T DO OR SHOULD DO. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BRING BACK A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE HOMELESSNESS AT A LATER DATE. 
          UH, WORK WITH CITY MAYOR'S OFFICE TO DO THAT. 
          THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION. 
          IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER 'EM. 
          WHO HAS QUESTIONS? ALI? I HAVE A COUPLE. 
          UM, YOU TALK ABOUT SOCIETY CRIME VERSUS PERSONS CRIME. 
          YES. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THOSE? SURE. 
          SO ON THE VERS, THE NATIONAL INCIDENT BASED REPORTING SYSTEM, THEY SPLIT OUT THE CRIME STATS INTO BASICALLY TWO BUCKETS. 
          IT'S CRIMES, THE, THE PART A, SORRY. 
          PART A IS SPLIT INTO CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS AND CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY AND CRIMES AGAINST SOCIETY. 
          , AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE FEDS, SO THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT. 
          UM, CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS AND PROPERTY ARE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, RIGHT? FOR PERSONS, IT'S ROBBERIES AND ASSAULTS, KIDNAPPINGS, HOMICIDE, THAT KIND OF THING. 
          UH, FOR CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY, IT'S VEHICLE THEFTS, FRAUD, VANDALISM, AND LARCENIES. 
          THE CRIMES AGAINST SOCIETY 
          [00:25:01]
ARE WEAPONS, NARCOTICS, GAMBLING, AND OBSCENITIES. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT STUFF. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER BUCKET IS THE GROUP B, WHATEVER'S LEFT. 
          AND THAT IS BASICALLY FAMILY OFFENSES, OTHER THEFT, LIKE BAD CHECKS, UH, PUBLIC CONDUCT, WHICH IS TRESPASSING, DISORDERLY CONDUCTS, AND THEN ALCOHOL RELATED OFFENSES. 
          SO, AND THEN AS FAR AS HOMELESSNESS, I KNOW THERE'VE BEEN SOME ISSUES OVER IN ADDISON CIRCLE RECENTLY. 
          SO WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED PATH FOR RESIDENTS? WHO DID THEY CALL? DO THEY CALL 9 1 1? THAT'S AN EMERGENCY LINE, AND SOMETIMES IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT AN EMERGENCY. 
          SO HOW SHOULD THAT PROBLEM BE ADDRESSED? WELL, ANYTIME THEY SEE SOMETHING, THEY NEED TO CALL US. 
          THEY CAN USE THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER, OR THEY CAN EVEN USE 9 1 1 IF THEY FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE. 
          UM, WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT EXACT THING THAT OUR EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR ON NOVEMBER 6TH. 
          SO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO THAT AND WHEN TO DO IT. 
          AGAIN. 
          THE ADDISON CIRCLE ISSUE, WE HAD, I'VE HEARD THAT WE'VE, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT. 
          WE'VE HAD A COUPLE HOMELESS GENTLEMEN THAT WERE WASHING CLOTHES IN THE FOUNTAIN. 
          THAT'S A GOOD NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER. 
          UH, THAT'S A GOOD, NOT EVEN GETTING NINE ONE CALL IF, IF YOU NEED A QUICK RESPONSE. 
          WHAT WE DON'T WANT IS TO USE THE FIX IT APP AND OTHER EMAILS. 
          'CAUSE THAT DOESN'T GENERATE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE THAT, THAT, THAT'S AN OFFENSE. 
          IT'S NOT, IT'S AGAINST THE RULES AND ORDINANCES. 
          AND WE CAN ADDRESS THAT RIGHT AWAY. 
          UM, IF SOMEBODY JUST SEES HOMELESS PERSONS ORDERING AROUND, WALKING AROUND, SITTING IN THE PARK, THAT'S NOT AN OFFENSE, RIGHT? UM, IT'S NOT A CRIME TO BE HOMELESS, BUT THEIR BEHAVIORS, RIGHT? GO AGAINST THE SOCIETAL NORMS. THEY EVEN BREAK LAWS. 
          AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE KIND OF TWO DISTINCT THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT ON THE SIXTH TO TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, LOOK, IT'S NOT A CRIME TO BE HOMELESS, BUT THEIR BEHAVIORS RIGHT, CAN BE AN OFFENSE OR CAN BE, UH, A CONCERN. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN. 
          OTHER PARTNERS LIKE METROCREST AND OUR CALLING COME IN TO HELP. 
          WHO ELSE? NANCY? UH, YES. 
          UM, A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION HERE. 
          UH, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING, LET'S SAY FOR INSTANCE, UH, TOMORROW A RESIDENT OR A NEIGHBOR, UM, MENTIONED THAT THEY SAW THAT THERE WAS A, UM, REPORT TONIGHT ON PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          UM, WHAT, WHAT MIGHT BE YOUR TWO OR THREE BIGGEST OR MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS FROM EVERYTHING THAT YOU PRESENTED HERE? HELLO? UM, I'D HAVE TO JUMP ON A CONFERENCE CALL, ZOOM WITH THE TOWN OF ADDISON. 
          WHAT'S HAPPENING? COUNCIL MEMBER CIO. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH, IT'S HAPPENING. 
          OH, YEAH, IT'S HAPPENING. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO WHAT WOULD BE, IF I MET UP WITH SOMEONE THAT WAS ASKING ABOUT THIS REPORT AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT AND THEY MIGHT NOT READ IT ONLINE, WHAT WOULD, WHAT WOULD BE MAYBE YOUR TWO OR THREE BIGGEST, UH, MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS THAT YOU MIGHT HOPE THAT I WOULD, UH, RELAY ONTO THEM? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          UH, I THINK FROM THE CRIME, EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT CRIME STATISTICS SUCCESSFULLY, RIGHT? SO FOR US, ADDISON'S A SAFE COMMUNITY. 
          IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A SAFE COMMUNITY, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME, SOME ISSUES, ESPECIALLY AROUND PROPERTY CRIME. 
          SO I THINK ONE OF THE TAKEAWAYS FOR US IS UNDERSTANDING HOW AND WHAT THAT IS AND HOW IT OCCURS, AND THEN WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO PREVENT IT. 
          AGAIN, POLICE OFFICERS, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO PREVENT EVERYTHING, AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS. 
          BUT IF WE PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY, BOTH BUSINESS AND RESIDENTIAL AND VISITORS, WE'RE HOPING WE CAN START MAKING A DIFFERENCE. 
          WE NEED TO DO MORE WITH THAT EDUCATION PIECE. 
          AND SO THAT'S ONE OF MY BIG TAKEAWAYS. 
          WE NEED TO EDUCATE THE, THE PUBLIC, THE BUSINESSES AND THE VISITORS TO WHERE THEY HAVE A, UM, A GOOD EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY COME HERE, RIGHT? AND, UH, FOR PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE, I THINK THE SECOND PART, UM, IS PROBABLY GONNA BE AROUND HOMELESSNESS ISSUE. 
          IT IS A BIG PROBLEM. 
          AND, AND IT, BOBBY AND MELANIE WILL TELL YOU, ANY HOMELESSNESS EXPERT WILL TELL YOU, IT IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT WE'RE GONNA SOLVE PROBABLY ANYTIME SOON. 
          SO THEN, SO HOW DO WE LIVE WITH THAT? HOW DO WE, HOW ARE WE, HOW CAN WE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE, HOW CAN WE, FROM A POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, PRACTICE CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING WHERE WE'RE NOT VIOLATING PEOPLE'S CIVIL RIGHTS, UM, BUT HOW DO WE GET THOSE BEHAVIORS TO CHANGE FROM, FROM THE FOLKS THAT CHOOSE A LOT OF TIMES TO BE ON THE STREET? AND SO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THAT, ON, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, DON'T GIVE 'EM MONEY WHEN THEY'RE PANHANDLING. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE, I SEE IT EVERY DAY. 
          I SEE IT IN ADDISON EVERY DAY. 
          AND THAT'S, IT'S HARD 'CAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO, THEY FEEL COMPASSION, THEY HAVE COMPASSIONATE EMPATHY FOR, FOR FOLKS THAT ARE IN THOSE POSITIONS. 
          BUT THERE'S, THERE'S, IT'S NOT DOING ANY GOOD. 
          IT GIVE THEM MONEY. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY HURTING MORE THAN HELPING. 
          UM, THERE ARE MORE 
          [00:30:01]
RESOURCES IN DALLAS-FORT WORTH FOR THE HOMELESS POPULATION THAN IN MOST PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          AND BOBBY AND OR MELANIE'S GONNA COVER THAT ON THE SIXTH, IS THEY DON'T WANT FOR FOOD. 
          THEY DON'T WANT, THEY DON'T WANT FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. 
          THEY DON'T WANT ANY, ANY SERVICE THAT THEY WANT. 
          THEY CAN GET FAIRLY EASILY. 
          THE HOUSING IS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS. 
          THERE IS NO SHELTER SPACE IN DALLAS, BUT THERE'S VERY RARELY THERE'S SHELTER SPACE OR FOR THE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS, UH, THEY JUST, THEY WON'T GO INTO SHELTER 'CAUSE THEY EITHER HAVE ALCOHOL AND DRUG OR, OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. 
          SO THE TAKEAWAY FOR US IS GONNA BE, LOOK, Y'ALL NEED, PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE PROPER RESPONSE WHEN YOU SEE THAT, DON'T GIVE 'EM MONEY, REPORT IT THROUGH. 
          KNOW DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PLATFORMS THAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT. 
          UM, TALK, GIVE THE CITY A HEADS UP IF YOU SEE IT. 
          THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING IT. 
          FOR SOME REASON, WE DID MISS IT. 
          SO I THINK FOR THOSE, HONESTLY, IT'S MY TWO BIG ONES. 
          UH, THE CRIME PREVENTION STUFF, UH, UH, THAT COMMUNITY OUTREACH COMPONENT. 
          I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS FROM, TO MAKE SURE I GET THREE , THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. 
          UH, WE NEED FEEDBACK AND WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA WORK WITH, WITH, UH, MARY AND THE ATHLETIC CENTER TO TRY TO DO SOME SURVEYS TO FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE, UH, FIND THAT THEY BENEFIT FROM OUR PREVIOUS SEMINARS AND CLASSES. 
          AND THEN WHAT, WHERE ARE WE MISSING THE MARK? WHERE DO THEY NEED INFORMATION? SO THOSE ARE MY THREE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          IF I COULD JUMP IN ON THAT QUESTION, 'CAUSE IT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND I APPRECIATE THE ANSWERS THAT CHIEF GAVE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE, THE REASON, UH, THAT WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION, AND ESPECIALLY THE LATTER HALF OF CHIEF'S PRESENTATION, WAS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE, THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE HEARD OVER THE PAST YEAR IN THE COMMUNITY AS WE'VE HAD THE, THE HOUSING TOWN HALL CONVERSATION. 
          AND AS WE'VE HAD OTHER DEVELOPMENTS COME FORWARD, PARTICULARLY FROM OUR SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, WE'VE HEARD COMMENTS ABOUT THE WHERE IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING? ARE WE, WHAT ARE WE DOING? ARE WE DOING THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST? SO I, I CERTAINLY WOULD POINT THEM TO THE EFFORTS THAT CHIEF POINTED OUT THAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING, BUT ALSO THE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE FOCUSING ON, UH, MOVING FORWARD, BECAUSE THAT'S A PRIORITY FOR US, AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THAT COMMUNITY TRUST AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO, UM, AS WE LOOK AT THOSE NEXT STEPS, AS WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING TO GET OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE OUR OFFICERS BE PRESENT AND AVAILABLE, UM, THAT'S REALLY ONE OF THE KEYS FROM THE PRESENTATION AS WELL. 
          MARLIN? YEAH, CHIEF, I'VE GOT A COUPLE, UH, COUPLE QUESTIONS AND SOME THOUGHTS I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU. 
          CAN, CAN WE TURN TO, TO SLIDE 19, IT'S THE CRIME TREND AT 5,000 5,100 BELTLINE ROAD. 
          THAT'S PER, YEAH, ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY IS KIND OF WHERE MY FOCUS IS RIGHT NOW. 
          DO YOU, DO WE HAVE ANY, UM, ANY UPDATES ON CAMERAS? UM, I, I KNOW THAT THAT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY AND, AND THERE MIGHT NOT BE AS MANY OPTICAL CAMERAS PROVIDED BY SOME OF THOSE, UH, LANDOWNERS BUSINESS OWNERS, BUT CAN YOU SPEAK TO, TO WHATEVER YOU KNOW, THERE, AND ALSO THE THOUGHT OF, UM, CAN WE, CAN WE ADD LPRS, UH, VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY? AND THEN I, I'VE GOT SOME OTHER COMMENTS AFTER. 
          SO FIRST ON THE CAMERAS, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANY OPTICAL CAMERAS AT THE CITY OWNS AT 5,100 BLOCK OF BELT LINE. 
          UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S I'M, I I, I'M NOT SURE WE COULD DO, UH, I HAVE TO TALK WITH HAMID AND, AND THE C MAYOR'S OFFICE AND SEE, JUST, JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'M NOT, UM, IF WE COULD DO THAT, GREAT, BUT WHAT, UM, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHAT, WHAT CAN BE DONE IS WHERE MY FOCUS IS. 
          AND, AND I KNOW WE'RE LACKING ON CAMERAS, OPTICAL CAMERAS OVER THERE AND, BUT I, I WOULD LIKE TO FIGURE OUT IF WE COULD DO LPRS OVER THERE. 
          SO WE, WE, WE CURRENTLY HAVE LPR AROUND 50 105,000 BELT LINE. 
          I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU THE LOCATIONS IN THE PUBLIC SETTINGS JUST FOR, YOU KNOW, INTEL PURPOSES. 
          BUT WHAT WE DID, AS IF YOU REMEMBER, IT'S BEEN A WHILE, BUT WE HAD THE PHASE ONE LPR THAT STARTED OFF IN OUR SINGLE FAMILY HOME NEIGHBORHOODS IN 2018, PHASE TWO OF OUR LPR PROGRAM, UH, FOCUSED ON THE BUSINESSES. 
          AND WE USED OUR DATA AND OUR INTELLIGENCE, UH, TO FOCUS HOTSPOTS, AND THEN WE TRIANGULATED LPR AROUND THOSE HOTSPOTS. 
          SO WE ARE, WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST LPR PROGRAMS CONSIDERING THE SIZE, THE FOOTPRINT THAT ADDISON HAS. 
          UM, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S FLEXIBLE. 
          WE CAN MOVE THINGS AROUND TO HELP US IF WE START GETTING MAYBE OUT OF THE, THAT TRIANGULATION COMPONENT, THE OPTICAL CAMERA STUFF, UH, I KNOW THAT THE ADDISON WALK, THE, THE PROPERTY MANAGER PUT A, UH, MOBILE CAMERA, UH, TRAILER IN THEIR PARKING LOT AND A CAR GOT STOLEN RIGHT NEXT TO IT THE NEXT NIGHT. 
          RIGHT? SO IT'S JUST, IT IS WHAT IT IS. 
          I THINK CAMERAS ARE VERY HELPFUL, BUT WE DON'T HAVE IN, IN MOST OF OUR PUBLIC SPACES, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT POINT WHERE OPTICAL CAMERAS ARE AS PREVALENT AS LPR. 
          OKAY. 
          AND DID YOU, ON THE LPRS, GOING BACK TO VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY, UH, FORGIVE ME IF YOU MENTIONED THIS, BUT ARE WE USING THAT PROACTIVELY DURING THESE 
          [00:35:01]
PERIODS OF TIME WHERE WE, WHERE WE, UM, HAVE EVIDENCE THAT, THAT REALIZE WE'VE GOT HEIGHTENED PROBLEMS? WE HAVE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, AGAIN, THEY'RE USING STOLEN CARS TO STEAL CARS. 
          AND WE'VE SEEN A, IT HASN'T BEEN AS HELPFUL BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME THEY'RE EITHER FRESH, STOLEN OR THEY HAVEN'T JUST GOTTEN INTO THE SYSTEM YET. 
          IT TAKES TIME, ESPECIALLY IN A LOT OF THE LARGER CITIES, IT'S NOT AN IMMEDIATE THING WHEN A CAR GETS STOLEN THAT IT GETS ENTERED INTO THE COMPUTER DATABASE. 
          THAT WOULD ALERT US AS A REMINDER OF THE LPR VENDOR THAT WE USE HAS A, A PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS THE OFFICERS TO BE ALERTED INTO THE SQUAD CARS ON THE MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS, UH, WHEN WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OFF THE TEXAS CRIMINAL INFORMATION CENTER OR THE NATIONAL AND CRIME INFORMATION, UH, CENTER'S, UH, HOT LIST. 
          SO STOLEN VEHICLES WANTED PERSONS MISSING, YOU KNOW, KIDS, THAT KIND OF STUFF. 
          SO THAT ALL THAT ALERTS US IN THE FIELD AND, AND TELLS THE OFFICER EXACTLY WHAT CAMERA THAT THAT VEHICLE DROVE BY. 
          OKAY. 
          WE ALSO USE HOT LISTS FROM OUR INVESTIGATORS AND OUR CRIME ANALYSTS WILL, IF WE KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR GROUP OR A PARTICULAR TYPE OF CAR, COLOR OF CAR, WE CAN PUT THAT INTO OUR SYSTEM AS WELL. 
          AND SO IT GIVES US SOME PROACTIVE, UH, ABILITY TO, UH, FIND 'EM, HOPEFULLY WHEN THEY DO SHOW BACK UP. 
          UH, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE IN THE PRESENTATION, THAT WE'VE SEEN A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN VEHICLE THEFT SINCE WE STARTED FOCUSING ON THOSE AREAS AND THE TIMES OF DAY AND THE OVERTIME, UH, SLOTS IS WORKING. 
          WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO THAT AS LONG AS WE CAN. 
          AND WE, WE'VE STARTED TO SEE A BIG DECREASE. 
          IT'S SIGNIFICANT. 
          SO I THINK, UH, VEHICLE THEFT, SIR. 
          IN VEHICLE THEFT OR, YES. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN THE, THE OTHER, UH, OTHER THOUGHT I HAD, WHEN YOU'RE REFERRING TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS WITH HOA, UM, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU OVER AT TOWN HOMES OF ADDISON AND HAVE A JOINT MEETING WITH LA MORADA CONDOMINIUMS. SO PLEASE SIGN US UP FOR THAT. 
          AND THEN THE, THE THIRD THING I WOULD SAY IS, UH, IN THE PAST, YOU, YOU ALL HAVE HAD, YOU AND AFD HAVE HAD SOME GREAT, UH, OPEN HOUSE EVENTS, BUT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK I'VE NOTICED IS, UM, PEOPLE ARE JUST SO BUSY AND WE GET SO ACTIVE AND CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THESE THINGS WE'VE GOT GOING ON, I THINK SOME PEOPLE FORGET. 
          AND, UM, WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU THAT IF YOU, IF YOU, THE NEXT TIME YOU DO THAT, UM, IF JUST A, I MEAN A SMALL AMOUNT, MAYBE SIX 12 YARD SIGNS, UH, UH, IN OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, JUST PUT OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE OR THE DAY THE, THE MORNING OF THE EVENT, I THINK WOULD GO A LONG WAY. 
          OR ANOTHER THING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER, UM, IS JUST HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE AT LAY LOCK PARK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK YOU JUST GET A GREAT TURNOUT. 
          IT'S A GREAT EVENT, BUT, UM, I'M JUST NOT SEEING THE TURNOUT RELATIVE TO, TO THE SCOPE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EVENT. 
          THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CHIEF CUT. 
          DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I DID. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          DARREN, UH, THANK YOU CHIEF. 
          GREAT INFORMATION. 
          I'M REALLY GLAD TO SEE ALL THE PROACTIVE, UM, ACTIONS BEING TAKEN. 
          AND THOUGHTS, UH, ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES, THE POSSIBLE, UH, NEXT STEPS, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS. 
          I THINK YOU SAID THAT WAS, UM, LIKE THAT WE HAD WHAT YOU HAD DONE, UH, PREVIOUSLY IN MULTIFAMILY AREAS. 
          UH, IS THAT WHAT THAT'S FOCUSED ON? THE NEIGHBORHOOD POLICE OFFICER OR? IT WAS VI AND THE ADDISON CIRCLE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN THE FIRST, WHEN THOSE FIRST MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS REALLY STARTED BOOMING, ADDISON CIRCLE WAS THE FIRST ONE, OBVIOUSLY. 
          AND THEN WHEN PRO RECRUITING CAME ONLINE, WE, WE HAD TWO OFFICERS THAT WERE DEDICATED TO JUST PROBLEM SOLVING AND, AND DOING DIFFERENT THINGS SIMILAR TO WHAT OUR OFFICER DOES ON THE AIRPORT CURRENTLY. 
          UM, IT, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY'RE, THEY WERE STRUGGLING THOUGH TO FILL A DAY. 
          IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH. 
          NOW, MAYBE THAT WAS, 'CAUSE THEY'RE NEW, NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND NOW THEY'RE AGING A LITTLE BIT. 
          UH, SO WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THAT AGAIN. 
          I THINK THERE'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO SOMETHING IN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME AREAS AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, WE'LL TALK TO THE SEA MANAGER'S OFFICE ABOUT THAT AND I WON'T MAKE ANY PROMISES IN PUBLIC YET. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THERE, IS THERE ANY CONVERSATION FOR VOLUNTEER? UH, PATROLLING LIKE WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST AND OTHER CITIES HAVE AROUND ACAP WAS PROBLEMATIC. 
          IT GOT VERY POLITICAL. 
          UM, AND I THINK WE, IT, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT, BUT IT IS, IT IS HARD ON THE ORGANIZATION TO MANAGE THAT. 
          AND THEN WHEN IT GOT POLITICAL, IT WAS, I THINK, DETRIMENTAL TO OPERATIONS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO I'M NOT OPPOSED TO VOLUNTEERISM. 
          I'VE TALKED TO, UH, ASH ABOUT THAT AS WELL RECENTLY. 
          WE'RE GONNA MEET RE AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE WE DO, THERE'S LOTS OF ADMIN THINGS AND OTHER TYPE OF THINGS THAT WE CAN PROBABLY BRING PEOPLE IN TO HELP US. 
          WE DON'T NEED A STANDALONE PROGRAM. 
          I THINK WE HAVE AN ADVOCATES PROGRAM ALREADY THAT'S ROBUST ENOUGH AND WELL RUN THAT. 
          WE CAN JUST LEAN ON THEM TO HELP US. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          I'D LIKE TO ECHO THAT THE ACAP PROGRAM WAS PROBLEMATIC AT THE TIME AND, 
          [00:40:01]
UH, IT WAS A BIT CHALLENGING. 
          SO, UH, JUST TO, JUST TO LET FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS KNOW WE'VE, WE'VE TRIED, WE'VE ATTEMPTED THAT IN THE PAST. 
          WE HAVE TO BE, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE BE CAUTIOUS IF WE'RE GOING DOWN THAT PATH. 
          YEAH, I KNOW THERE WAS, THERE WAS A PROGRAM THAT THE, THE VOLUNTEERS WERE INVOLVED WITH THAT THEY, THEY LIKED BEING PART OF IT AND THEY WERE, THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE IT GO AWAY, BUT, BUT I TOTALLY GET THE, UH, THE REASON WHY. 
          UH, BUT CHIEF, THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION AND I APPRECIATE IT. 
          UH, UM, JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU TALKING ABOUT PATROLLING THE PARKS. 
          SO IT USED TO BE NOT UNCOMMON FOR ME TO SEE MOTORCYCLES GOING THROUGH THE PARKS, AND I DON'T THINK I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN A LONG TIME. 
          UH, IS THAT ANYTHING I KNOW, AND I KNOW WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE FULL STAFF OF, OF MOTORS AVAILABLE AND, AND OFFICERS FOR THEM, BUT, UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU INTEND TO DO OR IS IT SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN DOING OR IS THERE A REASON TO NOT DO IT? SO WE, WE HAVE FOUR POSITIONS FOR MOTORCYCLE, UH, OFFICERS WITH THE DEPARTMENT. 
          TWO ARE, IT'S ONLY, WE HAVE ONLY CURRENTLY TWO THAT ARE FILLED. 
          UM, THAT IS ONE OF THE LAST THINGS WE DO WHEN IT COMES TO MANPOWER. 
          LIKE PATROL COMES FIRST, THEN OUR CID SECTION FROM THE INVESTIGATORS, THEN MOTORS AND SOME OTHER COLLATERAL DUTIES AS WE CALL IT, WILL GET FILLED. 
          UH, SOME OF THAT TOO, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY TWO, THEY ALSO DO ALL OUR ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS TO INCLUDE OUR HIT AND RUN INVESTIGATIONS. 
          AND RIGHT NOW THOSE GUYS ARE JUST COMPLETELY COVERED UP AND HIT AND RUN INVESTIGATIONS. 
          AND WHAT THEY DO, THEY, WE PRIORITIZE 'EM TO WORK THE SCHOOL ZONES FROM A TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, CONTROL PERSPECTIVE AND ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND THEN ALSO HAVE, UM, SOME OF THE HOTSPOTS, BUT SOME OF THE STOP SIGNS AND THEN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THAT KIND OF THING THAT WE GET COMPLAINTS ON. 
          SO I, I'LL RE WE WILL REINFORCE THAT WITH THEM. 
          AGAIN, I WAS ON MOTORS FOR 10 YEARS HERE AND WE, WE USED TO RIDE THE PARKS A LOT, BUT I'LL TELL YOU, OUR WORKLOAD IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS WHEN I WAS ON MOTORS IN 2002. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO WE, BUT WE DO, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          UH, WE JUST HAVE TO GET IT. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE PART OF THOSE, UM, DISCRETIONARY TIME THAT THEY HAVE IN BETWEEN CALLS FOR SERVICE AND OTHER THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          YEAH, THAT WAS, AND I THINK WHAT I USED TO SEE PRETTY OFTEN WOULD BE, UH, ONE OF THE MOTORS WOULD BE GOING TO, THEY WERE GONNA WORK THE SCHOOL ZONE AT TCA, BUT PRIOR TO TAKING THEIR STATION OVER THERE, THEY DO A QUICK TOUR THROUGH THE PARK. 
          AND IT WAS, THERE WAS SOMETHING JUST KIND OF NICE ABOUT SEEING 'EM THOUGH. 
          YOU, YOU FEEL SAFE THAT THEY'RE THERE AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE FEEL THEIR PRESENCE. 
          SO IT WAS, IT WAS KIND OF NICE TO SEE THAT IT PROBABLY TOOK 'EM, YOU KNOW, FIVE MINUTES TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. 
          SO I AGREE. 
          BUT, UM, BUT THAT WAS ALWAYS GOOD. 
          AND YEAH, I THINK WE USED TO HAVE A BICYCLE PATROL AND I KNOW STAFFING IS HARD TO, TO DO. 
          AND SO, UH, MY OTHER TWO QUESTIONS ARE REALLY ABOUT STAFFING ALSO, I SUPPOSE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE GO, WE GO TO THE GRAPEVINE JAIL NOW TO, TO DROP OFF THE, UH, THE, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU THAT HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND UH, THAT TAKES A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME DOES THAT TAKE AN OFFICER OFF THE, OUT OF THE, OUT OF THE FIELD WHEN THEY DO THAT? IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF ON A GOOD DAY. 
          IT'S NOT, NOT THE BEST SITUATION TO BE IN. 
          YEAH. 
          SO I KNOW THAT'S A CHALLENGE. 
          AND DOES IT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE TWO OFFICERS AT THE SAME TIME TRANSPORTING PEOPLE OR IS THAT PRETTY RARE? POSSIBLY. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND SO THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD PERCENTAGE OF OUR, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON, ON A SHIFT AT A TIME. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THEN SOME MIGHT HAVE A COUPLE MORE AT THE STATION, DONE A REPORT OR SOMETHING. 
          SO YEAH, IT'S IT, AND I KNOW THAT'S A CHALLENGE AND MORE, A LOT MORE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT GOING DOWN THE ROAD, BUT I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF THAT AS WELL. 
          AND SO OVERALL, AS FAR AS THE STAFFING LEVEL, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME. 
          DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH OFFICERS? I KNOW IT'S HARD TO HIRE, BUT, AND WE GET THE COMMENT PLENTY OF TIMES FROM, FROM THE PUBLIC THAT THEY SAY, WELL, WITH ALL THE, THE MULTI-FAMILIES BEING BUILT, YOU KNOW, THE POPULATION'S GROWING AND THERE'S MORE CRIME, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HAVE MORE POLICE. 
          SO THAT'S MY QUESTION TO YOU. 
          DO WE NEED TO HAVE MORE POLICE  ? WELL ACTUALLY WE HAD A MEETING TODAY WITH, CAN I TALK, CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT? UM, MATRIX, WHICH HAS DONE SOME OTHER, UH, STUDIES FOR US, I THINK WITH FLEET FACILITIES AND THE DOD DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE MET WITH THEM TODAY TO GIVE THEM SOME INFORMATION SO THEY CAN PRESENT A, UH, PROPOSAL FOR US TO DO A PUBLIC SAFETY STRATEGIC PLANNING STUDY 10 YEARS OUT, IS THAT CORRECTLY SAID, 10 YEARS OUT. 
          SO WE CAN SEE WHAT WE'RE GONNA NEED AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO REDEVELOP. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ADDISON WAS BUILT, WE'VE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE, THE VENDOR TODAY. 
          WE WERE PROBABLY WAY OVERSTAFFED BACK IN THE DAY. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE HAD THE ABILITY TO DO THAT. 
          UM, I THINK IT'S, IT'S, IT'S CAUGHT UP TO US. 
          I THINK OUR, OUR THE BUSY TIMES TO REDEVELOPMENT, IT'S ALL A GOOD OPPORTUNITIES. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW WHERE I THINK WE'RE OKAY FROM A STAFFING PERSPECTIVE, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE MOVING FORWARD AND WE NEED TO PREPARE FOR THAT. 
          UH, THE CHALLENGES ARE HIRING, RETENTION, UM, THE COMPENSATION, YOU KNOW, COUNCILS WENT THROUGH ALL THAT WITH THE MARKET AND MERIT STUDIES. 
          SO I THINK FROM US RIGHT NOW, I THINK, AND OFFICER SCHRADER THAT'S WORKING HERE TONIGHT, SHE'S OUR HIRING AND, UH, BACKGROUND INVESTIGATOR. 
          I THINK WE'RE AT THREE. 
          HOLD UP. 
          THREE, FIVE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          NO. 
          HOW MANY ARE WE DOWN? THREE. 
          UM, WE'RE DOWN TWO. 
          SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TWO HARD VACANCIES, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN TRAINING OR IN THE ACADEMY. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE RUB, RIGHT? SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ONLY DOWN TWO FROM A HARD FTE COUNT, 
          [00:45:01]
IT STILL TAKES A YEAR TO GET PEOPLE THROUGH AN ACADEMY AND FIELD TRAINING. 
          AND UH, WE'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY TO GET SOME, SOME POLICE OFFICERS FROM OTHER STATES THAT COME IN AND GO STRAIGHT INTO OUR FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM, WHICH CUTS THAT IN HALF. 
          SO RIGHT NOW, UH, WE WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE DOING OKAY. 
          WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO, TO ANSWER CALLS FOR SERVICE AND THE RESPONSE TIMES ARE GOOD AND EVERYTHING ELSE. 
          BUT AGAIN, IT'S THE WHOLE, FROM THE WHOLE POLICE DEPARTS PERSPECTIVE, IT'S, IT'S GONNA, WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DO SOME PLANNING MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS AND, AND THE REDEVELOPMENT IS GONNA CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT'S A MOVING TARGET. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT IS. 
          AARON, I DON'T WANT TO SHORTCHANGE THE STUDY THAT CHIEF REFERENCED 'CAUSE THAT'S GONNA BE AN IMPORTANT ONE. 
          UH, WE ALREADY DID, AS CHIEF MENTIONED, WE DID, WE USED MATRIX TO LOOK AT AN ISOLATED STUDY JUST OF THE TOD DEVELOPMENT TO SAY WHAT ARE THE PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS AND OTHER, UH, OPERATING COST NEEDS THROUGHOUT TOWN THAT WE'LL NEED WHEN THAT GETS UP AND GOING. 
          SO THAT'S A START. 
          THIS WILL BE A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UM, OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. 
          SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO, OUT OF THAT, SAY, WHERE ARE WE NOW? W ARE DO WE HAVE A GAP NOW THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY? ARE THERE GAP? ARE THERE GONNA BE GAPS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS? AND THEN WE CAN PLAN FOR IT AND PUTTING TOGETHER A STAFFING PLAN AND START TO IMPLEMENT THAT IN THE BUDGET. 
          SO I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S, UH, WELL NEEDED SO THAT WE CAN ANSWER WHEN YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, WE CAN POINT TO THAT AND WE HAVE DATA TO BACK IT UP AND WE HAVE THOUGHT THAT WENT INTO IT. 
          SO VERY ENCOURAGED TO, TO BE DOING THAT MOVING FORWARD. 
          VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUE OH, I, OH, CAN I ASK ONE MORE BEFORE YOU? ABSOLUTELY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YOU MENTIONED ABOUT FOR PEOPLE TO CALL 'EM NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER WHEN THEY SEE PARTICULAR THINGS AND, AND THAT'S A, THAT'S GREAT ADVICE. 
          MY MY GUESS IS THAT MOST PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE AND COME TO VISIT HERE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS. 
          DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO POST THAT NUMBER INTO PARKS AND SOME OTHER PUBLIC PLACES BECAUSE PEOPLE GET NERVOUS ABOUT CALLING 9 1 1 BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL. 
          DO WE NEED TO POST THAT NUMBER SOMEWHERE? IS THERE ANY REASON THAT WE WOULDN'T WANNA DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WE CERTAINLY CAN. 
          I CAN GET WITH MARY AND JANET, WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU EILEEN. 
          AS A QUICK, AS A QUICK PLUG TOO, WE JUST, WE ROLLED OUT THE, THE ONLINE REPORTING COMPONENT. 
          UH, THAT'S A BIG DEAL FOR US. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A BIG, I THINK VALUE ADD FOR THE ORGANIZATION. 
          THAT EFFICIENCY ADD. 
          IT ALSO IS GONNA GIVE OUR, OUR RESIDENTS, OUR, ESPECIALLY OUR VISITORS, AN EASY WAY, UH, A CONVENIENT WAY TO REPORT SOME THINGS THAT ARE LOWER LEVEL. 
          UH, WE'VE, RIGHT NOW WE'VE, IT'S BEEN LIVE FOR ABOUT 36 HOURS. 
          WE'VE HAD, WELL ABOUT 24 HOURS. 
          WE'VE HAD 36 ENTRIES. 
          WE HAVEN'T REALLY EVEN STARTED, UM, ADVERTISING IT HEAVILY YET. 
          SO THE GOOD NEWS IS ABOUT THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA FORCE IT ON PEOPLE FOR RESIDENTS WANT TO HAVE A POLICE OFFICER COME TO THEIR HOUSE OR THEIR BUSINESS. 
          THAT'S CERTAINLY GONNA, YOU KNOW, BE AN OPTION. 
          BUT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THAT LIVE OUT OF STATE OR OUT OF TOWN, IT'LL BE A REALLY QUICK WAY TO GET A POLICE REPORT ENTERED. 
          AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT AND IT'S GONNA, WE'VE ALREADY SAVED ABOUT 54 MAN HOURS JUST IN THOSE, WITH THOSE 36 REPORTS BEING ENTERED, UH, FROM A SELF-SERVICE PERSPECTIVE. 
          SO TO YOUR POINT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, CALL LOADS AND THE JAIL TRANSPORT TIMES, WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO DO SOME THINGS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE OPERATING EFFICIENTLY AND CAN OFFSET MAYBE SOME OF THAT. 
          SURE. 
          THANK YOU EILEEN. 
          YEAH, I JUST WANNA SAY WE ALL APPRECIATE WHAT YOU AND YOUR YOUR GUYS DO. 
          UM, BUT I ALSO WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH METRO CREST BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ENFORCEMENT, YOU'RE ALSO TRYING TO HELP ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. 
          AND SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MARLENE, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE? OKAY. 
          NO, I'LL, I'LL SECOND THAT FROM, FROM EILEEN. 
          WHAT, WHAT, WHAT YOU ALL DO IS, IS, IS IT'S A HARD JOB. 
          AND, AND THEN WHEN YOU GO DEAL WITH SOMEBODY THAT THEY'RE AT THE LOWEST POINT IN THEIR LIFE. 
          UM, THE COMPASSION THAT YOU ALL SHOW IS REALLY ADMIRABLE. 
          IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE. 
          AND SO I'M ALWAYS PROUD OF, OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE WORK YOU ALL DO AND, AND, UM, SO IF YOU EVER FEEL LIKE WE'RE QUESTIONING YOU, WHAT WE ARE, BUT, BUT WE, WE TRUST YOU AND WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND, AND, AND APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT Y'ALL DO FOR US. 
          SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          YES, SIR. 
          ANY, ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYBODY? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU CHIEF. 
          YES SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT IS THE END OF OUR WORK SESSION ITEMS. DOES ANYBODY NEED A SHORT BREAK BEFORE WE GO INTO THE REGULAR MEETING? ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. 
          WELL, WITH THAT WE WILL GO INTO OUR REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AND WITH THAT PER USUAL, WE WILL DO THE PLEDGES TO THE FLAGS. 
          IF YOU'D PLEASE RISE WITH US. 
          I PLEDGE.

          ALL RIGHT, WELL WE ALL, WE 
          [b.  Employee Recognition]
ALWAYS ENJOYED THIS PART OF THE MEETING. 
          WE HAVE A COUPLE OF EMPLOYEE RECOGNITIONS. 
          I'LL ASK OUR DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EVENTS AND THEATER. 
          ABBY MORALES TO COME UP, MAYOR AND COUNSEL. 
          I AM PLEASED TO INTRODUCE KIM BETIS, WHO WORKS IN THE SPECIAL EVENTS AND THEATER DEPARTMENT AS A SPECIAL EVENTS ASSISTANT. 
          KIM HAS BEEN WORKING FOR THE TOWN SINCE JUNE OF 2001. 
          SHE WAS BORN IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, AND ATTENDED BOOKER T WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SHE THEN WENT ON TO GRADUATE FROM THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAL SCHOOL FOR EXECUTIVE SECRETARY AND LEGAL AID TRAINING. 
          SHE HAS BEEN MARRIED TO HER HUSBAND, FRANKIE BETIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AND SHE IS A PROUD, PROUD MOM TO CHEF JOSHUA JONES. 
          KIM FOUND HER WAY INTO ADDISON THROUGH AN AD IN THE NEWSPAPER. 
          SHE SAW THE AD AND WAS WORKING FOR HER FIRST DAY, JUST ONE WEEK LATER. 
          DURING HER TENURE WITH THE TOWN, KIM HAS WORKED IN FOUR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO INCLUDE THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, HUMAN RESOURCES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND NOW SPECIAL EVENTS. 
          NOT ONLY WAS SHE ABLE TO SHARE HER SKILLS IN EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT SHE ALSO SAYS THAT THIS REALLY ALLOWED HER TO GET TO KNOW THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE TOWN. 
          WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE ADDISON WAY, KIM EMPHASIZED INTEGRITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYING THAT EVEN WHEN THE ANSWER IS NO, WE MUST HAVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE BACKED WITH INTEGRITY TOWARDS ANYONE WHO WE SERVE, BE IT CUSTOMERS, RESIDENCE, OR EVEN OUR TOWN COUNTERPARTS. 
          SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT KIM IS THAT SHE WAS A CHEERLEADER IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR FOUR YEARS. 
          SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY KNOW, HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE LUCKY, IS THAT SHE RUNS HER OWN HOME-BASED BAKERY. 
          KIM'S BAKERY HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER FOUR YEARS AND IS RUMORED BY MANY TOWN EMPLOYEES TO BE SOME OF THE BEST BAKED GOODIES YOU CAN FIND. 
          PLEASE JOIN ME IN RECOGNIZING KIM. 
          THANK YOU, KIM. 
          NEXT JANA'S GONNA COME UP AND INTRODUCE SOMEONE THAT YOU ALL KNOW WELL. 
          LONG OVERDUE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          I AM PLEASED TO INTRODUCE, LEMME GET THE RIGHT PAPERWORK. 
          UM, PAT WHITE, WHO IS THE REC, UM, WHO WORKS IN THE ADDISON RECREATION DEPARTMENT AS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF RECREATION. 
          PAT HAS BEEN WITH THE TOWN SINCE APRIL OF 1995, AND I'M GONNA GO OFF SCRIPT AND ADD THAT HE IS THE MOST TENURED EMPLOYEE IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW. 
          PAT WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PLANO, TEXAS, AND HE GRADUATED FROM PLANO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE HE WENT ON TO GRADUATE FROM SOUTHWEST TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY WITH A DEGREE IN RECREATION ADMINISTRATION. 
          PAT HAS BEEN MARRIED TO HIS WIFE ARLENE FOR 11 YEARS, AND HE IS A FAN OF MANY OF THE LOCAL SPORTS TEAMS. SO I'LL NAME A FEW. 
          THE DALLAS COWBOYS, THE DALLAS STARS, AND THE WORLD SERIES QUALIFYING TEXAS RANGERS . 
          WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER, PAT WAS A LIFEGUARD FOR THE CITY OF PLANO AS A, THAT WAS A FULL OR PART-TIME POSITION FOR HIM. 
          AND SO IT CAME TO NO SURPRISE WHEN HE SAW TWO WORDS IN A NEWSPAPER THAT SAID RECREATION COORDINATOR THAT LISTED A PHONE NUMBER. 
          AND ON THAT DAY, HE PICKED UP THE PHONE AND WOUND UP BEGINNING HIS CAREER WITH THE TOWN OF ADDISON. 
          28 YEARS LATER, HE IS PROUD TO SAY THAT HE HAS REMAINED WITH HIS FIRST EMPLOYER, FULL-TIME EMPLOYER, AND THAT HE PLANS TO RETIRE AS AN ADDISON EMPLOYEE. 
          I HAVE IT ON GOOD CONFIDENCE. 
          THAT'LL BE IN 20 YEARS THOUGH. 
          . 
          UM,  PAT IS A GREAT MENTOR IN ALL ASPECTS OF RECREATION. 
          ONE EXAMPLE IS THAT HE RECEIVED HIS AQUATIC FACILITIES OPERATOR CERTIFICATION DURING HIS TENURE HERE AND IS PROVEN TO BE AN ASSET WITH DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, AS WELL AS TRAINING OTHER STAFF TO TAKE ON THOSE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. 
          HE BELIEVES IN HAVING A SERVANT LEADER'S HEART TOWARDS ALL STAFF IN PROVIDING QUALITY SERVICE TO OUR RESIDENTS.

MR. WILSON. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, I PULLED ITEMS C THROUGH I, THEY'RE ALL RELATED. 
          THEY'RE GRANT USE FUNDING. 
          UM, I'M IN FAVOR OF, OF THE GRANT FUNDING FOR EACH ONE OF THESE VERY DESERVING, UH, NONPROFITS. 
          BUT, UH, MY CONCERN IS, IS A SENTENCE, UH, IN, IN EVERY ONE OF THESE GRANT FUNDING AGREEMENTS. 
          AND, AND YOU CAN FIND IT IF, IF YOU LOOK AT ANY ONE OF 'EM AND YOU LOOK AT, UH, ROMAN NUMERAL TWO, WHICH IS, UH, CALLED GRANT USE. 
          UM, AND MY CONCERN, UM, UM, THAT I SHARED WITH THE CITY MANAGER EARLIER IS, IS UM, ON THE RIGHT, RIGHT ABOVE THAT IS ROMAN NUMERAL ONE TERM. 
          SECOND SENTENCE SAYS, THE PROGRAM HEREAFTER DEFINED MUST BE COMPLETED DURING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE CITY. 
          THEN YOU GO ONTO ROMAN NUMERAL TWO GRANT USE SECOND SENTENCE. 
          UH, THEN WE, THEN WE CHANGE OUR WORDING A LITTLE BIT. 
          IT SAYS, THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT BIND THE ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE ANY SPECIFIC PROGRAM DETAILED BELOW, HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION SHALL IN GOOD FAITH COMPLETE ALL PROGRAMS TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
          AND THEN A LITTLE BIT, RIGHT, YOU KNOW, SHORTLY AFTER 
          [01:00:01]
THAT WE GO BACK INTO SOME PRETTY FIRM WORDING THAT SAYS, ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION SHALL COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF GRANT FUNDING RECEIVED BY THE CITY, COLLECTIVELY THE PROGRAM. 
          AND, AND IT DEFINES THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS. AND SO WHAT I'M PROPOSING, WHAT I'M SUGGESTING IS IF YOU GO BACK TO, TO THE GRANT USE, UH, RATHER THAN, RATHER THAN THE WORDING THAT THAT SAYS, THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT BIND THE ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE ANY SPECIFIC PROGRAM. 
          DETAILED BELOW, HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION SHALL IN GOOD FAITH COMPLETE ALL PROGRAMS TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
          I'D LIKE TO CHANGE THAT TO FIRM IT UP TO SAY, THE ORGANIZATION SHALL COMPLETE ALL PROGRAMS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THEN IT WOULD FOLLOW WITH THE SENTENCE THAT'S ALREADY THERE. 
          IT SAYS, IF THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES THAT ANY PROGRAM CANNOT BE COMPLETED, IT SHALL IMMEDIATELY INFORM THE CITY IN WRITING. 
          SO JUST, UM, TAKE OUT THE ONE SENTENCE THAT I JUST MENTIONED TWICE AND, AND, AND, AND CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING MATCHING UP WITH THE AGREEMENT THAT'S MORE FIRM. 
          WE'RE GIVING, UM, 600 AND ALMOST $650,000 IN GRANT FUNDING TO NONPROFITS. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY WE EXPECT THEM TO DELIVER ON THOSE VARIOUS PROGRAMS. SO THAT'S, THAT'S MY QUESTION TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. 
          I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THE CITY MANAGER OR THE, THE, OUR LEGAL EAGLE AS FAR AS THAT, THAT THOUGHT. 
          THAT SURE. 
          PROPOSAL. 
          YEAH. 
          DAVE, DO YOU WANNA WEIGH IN ON THAT? ABSO SURE. 
          AND, AND, UM, HAVING, HAVING HAD A, A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING TO, TO LOOK AT IT AND, AND OBVIOUSLY I KNOW COUNCIL, UH, MOST COUNCILS TAKING A LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THE CHANGE. 
          UM, I THINK, UM, IT, IT IS A LITTLE CLEANER WHERE IT, IT DOESN'T NEGATE SOME COMMENTS EARLIER. 
          AND REALLY THE INTENT OF THE GRIEVANCE IS THAT THEY, THEY CARRY OUT THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED. 
          BUT I IT AL WHAT ALSO ADDS TO MY COMFORT IS THAT FOLLOWING SENTENCE WHERE THE ORGANIZATION, IF FOR SOME REASON THEY CANNOT GO FORWARD WITH THE PROGRAM, THEY CAN SUBMIT SOMETHING INTO US IN WRITING AND WE COULD ADDRESS IT AT THAT POINT. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST A HARD AND FAST, IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOU'RE NOT GETTING YOUR FUNDING, THEY CAN SUBMIT THAT TO US AND WE CAN WORK WITH 'EM. 
          SO, UM, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT. 
          AND ULTIMATELY I THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS, IS UM, IS A POSITIVE FOR THE AGREEMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD. 
          NICOLE, ANYTHING FROM YOU THINK I KNOW HOW TO WORK THIS? UH, NO, I ACTUALLY AGREE. 
          I THINK MARLON, THAT WAS A, THAT WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD CATCH. 
          UM, AND I DO AGREE WITH THAT, CHANGING THAT LANGUAGE SO THAT WE, UM, WE ARE MORE STRONG HANDED, UH, THAT THEY HAVE TO COMPLY, BUT THEN ALSO KEEPING IN THAT FINAL SENTENCE, THAT STILL GIVES 'EM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO US AND NEGOTIATE IN CASE THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES. 
          THANK YOU, NICOLE. 
          AND THAT'S OUR PINCH HITTING ATTORNEY TONIGHT. 
          NICOLE, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYBODY? ANY ALI? I'M JUST WONDERING, MARLON, WAS THAT IN THE FORM OF A MOTION? UM, YES. 
          THANK YOU THAT, THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION TO REPLACE THAT ONE SENTENCE WITH A WORDING I SHARED. 
          THAT'S MY MOTION. 
          WE NEED, DO WE NEED SECOND? A MOTION? OKAY. 
          DO WE NEED TO SPELL OUT THAT VERBIAGE OR ARE WE GOOD WITH, WITH WHAT? I THINK WE'RE GOOD. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          SO WE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM EILEEN. 
          IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? GQ? NO . 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? VERY GOOD. 
          THAT PASSES. 
          OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MARLON. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          GOOD INPUT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AYE, . 
          THANK YOU DAN. 
          TIME DELAY. 
          ALRIGHT THEN WE HAVE, UH, NEXT ITEM WE HAVE ITEM 
          [a.  Present, discuss and consider action on a Resolution approving a fifth Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Town of Addison and Developer AMLI Residential for the Addison Circle Area Transit Oriented Mixed-Use Development Project and authorizing the City Manager to execute the fifth Amended and Restated MOU.]
FIVE, WHICH IS ITEMS FOR CONS, INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. 
          ITEM FIVE A IS PRESENT, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A RESOLUTION APPROVING OF FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING MOU BETWEEN THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND DEVELOPER AMIE RESIDENTIAL FOR THE ADDISON CIRCLED AREA TRANSIT ORIENTED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MOU WAYNE. 
          GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. 
          COUNSEL, LET ME MAKE SURE I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO IN, UH, APRIL, 2022, UH, THE TOWN ENTERED INTO AN MOU WITH AM EMILY RESIDENTIAL AND STREAM REALTY PARTNERS, UH, FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON THE, UH, ADDISON SILVER LINE STATION, ATOD OR TRANSIENT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, UH, WAS TO INCLUDE A MIXTURE OF OFFICE, RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL. 
          SO THE MOU ADDRESSED PUBLIC INCENTIVES, UH, VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND, UH, A GROUND LEASE AND MINIMUM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          UM, SUBSEQUENTLY 
          [01:05:01]
THERE WERE FOUR AMENDMENTS TO THAT ORIGINAL OR INITIAL MOU, UM, MAINLY DUE TO MARKETING CONDITIONS AND INCREASED, UH, CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND FINANCING. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, SO SINCE APPROVAL OF THE FOURTH MOU, THE OFFICE DEVELOPER, STREAM REALTY PARTNERS, UH, HAS WITHDRAWN FROM, UH, FROM THE PROJECT AS THE CO-DEVELOPER. 
          SO WHAT THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE MOU DOES IS IT, UM, IT KEEPS THE SAME, UH, PROVISIONS AS IT RELATES TO INCENTIVES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND A MIX OF USES, UM, AND EXTENDS THE TERM TO JANUARY 31ST, 2024. 
          AND, UH, THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO GIVE THE TOWN AND AMLI RESIDENTIAL TIME TO, UH, UM, GO OUT TO THE MARKET AND FIND ANOTHER OFFICE DEVELOPER, UM, TO BRING 'EM ON BOARD TO THE PROJECT. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO, UM, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY, UM, CHANGES AT, AT THIS TIME, BUT, UH, ONCE A A DEVELOPER COMES ON THERE, WE, I'M SORRY, WE DO ANTICIPATE CHANGES TO THE, UH, MOU, UH, DEPENDING ON THAT OFFICE DEVELOPER. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY? JUST FOR CLARIFICATION? SO WE'RE, WE'RE HAVING TO, UM, ADD THIS ADDITIONAL AMOU BECAUSE THE CURRENT ONE'S EXPIRING? YES, IT EXPIRES AT THE END OF THE MONTH. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THIS IS REALLY JUST EXTENDING THAT, UH, TIMEFRAME. 
          WE'VE GOT HOLIDAYS COMING UP. 
          LOT OF BUSINESS MAY NOT BE DONE THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS. 
          AND THEN TO GIVE EMILY AND THE TOWN A TIME, TIME TO FIND A ANOTHER CO-DEVELOPER. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I WAS CAUGHT A LITTLE OFF GUARD. 
          I WAS LOOKING, WAITING FOR THE FOURTH BULLET TO LAND, WHICH, WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN, UM, IF A, IF A, IF A NEW CO IF A NEW OFFICE CO-DEVELOPER IS NOT MUTUALLY AGREED UPON, WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS THEN? OH, I'M SORRY. 
          SO YEAH, IF, IF AT THAT POINT, UM, WE CAN'T COME, CAN'T FIND THAT, UM, THE IDEA IS THAT THE TOWN WILL GO BACK OUT TO MARKET AND ISSUE ANOTHER RFP TO, TO LOCATE, UM, EITHER A NEW MASTER DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          SO THAT, WOULD THAT BE SQUARE ONE KIND OF A SITUATION? UM, YEP. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE GET TO THAT POINT, UM, AND, AND WE START TO CONTEMPLATE A, A NEW RFPI, I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S SQUARE ONE BECAUSE A LOT OF LEGWORK HAS GONE INTO THIS POINT AND IT'S BEEN CONTEMPLATED A LOT AND WE'VE ALSO HAD SIGNIFICANT ZONING CHANGES TO THIS POINT. 
          SO THAT WOULD ALL BE UNDERLYING. 
          SO I THINK THERE'S SOME, AND, AND, AND JUST TO BE HONEST, I THINK WE CAN, THE PROCESS WOULD GO A LOT QUICKER, UM, BECAUSE OF THE LEGWORK THAT'S BEEN DONE. 
          SO I WOULDN'T SAY SQUARE ONE, BUT IT WOULD BE RETHINKING THE PROJECT AND, AND, AND, AND SEEING WHAT'S OUT THERE. 
          UH, BUT THE INTENT IF WE GET TO THAT POINT, WOULD REALLY JUST TO BE, 'CAUSE IF, IF WE GET TO THAT POINT, THAT'S SAYING THAT WE HAVE NOT FOUND AN OFFICE DEVELOPER TO TAKE STREAM'S PLACE AND TO PARTNER WITH, WITH AM, WITH, UM, WITH AM EMILY. 
          SO IF WE GET, IF WE GET TO THAT POINT AND WE'RE DOING AN RFP, THE INTENT WOULD BE TO FIND THE SAME CONCEPT, BUT IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT? UM, BUT I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE RIGHT NOW, BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY 31ST, OUR GOAL IS, AND AS WAYNE MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION, IS TO FIND AN OFFICE DEVELOPER TO WORK WITH WITH AMLI AND DO THAT. 
          AND WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT CAN HAPPEN. 
          UM, AND, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FEW MONTHS OF, OF MAKING IT HAPPEN. 
          YEAH, THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND BECAUSE CERTAINLY AM EMILY'S PUT IN SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY AND EXPENSE ALL ALONG THE WAY TO, UH, ON, ON THIS PROJECT AND, AND THEY'RE A GREAT PARTNER FOR US. 
          SO, UH, WELL, WE CERTAINLY WANNA SEE THEM GET ANOTHER CO-DEVELOPER WORKING WITH THEM ON THIS. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYBODY? VERY GOOD. 
          UM, SO WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. 
          IS THERE MOTION MAYOR, I MOVE FOR APPROVAL SECOND FROM EILEEN. 
          WE HAVE THE MOTION AND A SECOND FROM GQ IS ANY, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. 
          MOTION PASSES. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH WAYNE. 
          AND ITEM FIVE 
          [b.  Consider action on a Resolution to approve a Master Lease Agreement between the Town of Addison and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), setting forth the terms and conditions of a ground lease of DART’s Addison Transit Center property for inclusion in a future Transit Oriented Development (TOD) project.]
B, CONSIDER ACTION ON A RESOLUTION TO, TO APPROVE A MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND DALLAS AREA RAPID TRANSIT DARTS, SETTING FORTH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A GROUND LEASE AND OF DARTS, ADDISON TRANSIT CENTER PROPERTY FOR INCLUSION IN A FUTURE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT TOD PROJECT. 
          WAYNE, LONG TIME. 
          ALL RIGHT, NEXT SLIDE. 
          20. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, SO THIS, UH, MASTER 
          [01:10:01]
GROUND LEASE, UH, ESTABLISHED THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, UH, FOR THE, THE TOWN'S LEASE OF DART OF DART'S ADDISON TRANSIT CENTER PROPERTY, UM, ON THE SILVER LINE STATION. 
          UH, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE, UM, WERE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, UH, THAT THE TOWN ENTERED INTO WITH DART IN 2021. 
          SO THE, UH, THE MASTER GROUND LEASE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS, UM, THE PROPERTY, THE LEASE INCLUDES THE TRANSIT CENTER, THE PARKING LOT, AND IT'S, UH, ABOUT 5.5 ACRES. 
          UH, THE GROUND LEASE IS, UM, GIVES THE TOWN AN OPTION FOR A TOTAL OF 99 YEARS, UH, THE INITIAL TERM FOR 49 AND THEN 2 25 YEAR EXTENSION OPTIONS. 
          UM, SO AT THE, UH, OUTSET OF THIS LEASE, THERE IS A 60 MONTH, UM, PROBATION, I, I'M SORRY, NOT PROBATIONARY PERIOD, BUT A, A, UM, PRE-DEVELOPMENT PERIOD IN WHICH THE TOWN CAN GO OUT AND FIND A MASTER DEVELOPER FOR, UH, THE SITE. 
          UM, IN THE EVENT THAT THE TOWN DOES NOT FIND A MASTER DEVELOPER, THEN, UH, THE LEASE CAN TERMINATE BEFORE THEN. 
          UM, AND THEN THE TOWN ALSO HAS THE OPTION TO EXIT, UH, ONE YEAR PRIOR AT 48 MONTHS BEFORE THAT 60 MONTH PERIOD. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO THE BASE RENT, THE WAY THAT THIS, UM, HAS BEEN LAID OUT IS THAT, UH, THE, AT THE START OF THE, UM, OF THE 60 MONTH PERIOD,  THAT THE RENT ACTUALLY WILL NOT, UM, BEGIN UNTIL, UM, UNTIL A DEVELOPER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. 
          AND THE MASTER, UM, THE PROJECT IS  HAS BEEN, I'M SORRY, I'M, CAN I JUST START OVER? I'M LOSING IT. 
          ALL RIGHT, NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, FOR THE FIRST, UH, FIVE YEARS AT LEAST, THIS IS WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. 
          THE BASE RENT IS DETERMINED AS, UM, 4% OF THE TOTAL VALUE, UH, OF THE, UH, PROJECT AS, UH, APPRAISED COMPLETED. 
          UM, DAVID, DO YOU WANNA HELP ME OUT HERE? GO AHEAD. 
          AFTER FIVE YEARS THERE, THERE'S A, A REAPPRAISAL. 
          SO ALL THIS IS IS IN THE MOU. 
          ALL THE MOUS THAT WE'VE, UM, THAT WE'VE HAD UP TO THIS POINT, UM, HAS BEEN CONTEMPLATED, BUT THERE'S A, A REAPPRAISAL, UM, AFTER FIVE YEARS, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE ESCALATORS THERE AS WELL. 
          UM, AT ANY TIME, DART OF THE TOWN MAY REQUIRE, UH, ADJUSTMENTS AS APPROPRIATE. 
          UM, AND THEN AS WE RECEIVE THE ANNUAL RENT, UM, THAT IF WE RECEIVING ANY RENT, UM, AS WE GO FORWARD, THAT EXCEEDS WHAT WE OWE TO DART, UM, THAT EXCESS REVENUE WILL BE SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN DART AND THE TOWN. 
          MM-HMM, . 
          SO, UM, WE, WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT WITH DART. 
          WE SAY WE PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT IF WE HAVE SOMEONE COME IN, UM, AS, AS THE DEVELOPER, AND WE END UP RECEIVING MORE THAN THAT. 
          WE SPLIT THOSE, UH, EXCESS PROCEEDS. 
          THE MASTER DEVELOPERS ARE ON, ON THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          VALENCIA, UH, MASTER DEVELOPER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, UH, ALL THE CAPITAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, AND FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS, UM, RELATED TO THE PROPERTY. 
          AND DART WILL REMAIN RE UH, RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES YOU WOULD EXPECT RELATED TO A RAIL LINE. 
          SO ANYTHING FOR THEIR RAIL IS WHAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR. 
          ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT ON THE PROPERTY THEY OWN WOULD BE WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER. 
          AND THERE ARE OTHER REQUIREMENTS, UM, YOU CAN SEE THERE FOR THE DEVELOPER SUCH AS, UM, BAY'S, RESTROOMS, PARKING SPACES, AND THOSE ARE ALL LAID OUT IN EXHIBIT B ON THE ITEM ITSELF. 
          SO THERE ARE A FEW OTHER PROVISIONS. 
          UH, THE GROUND LEASE WITH DART WILL NOT BE, UH, SUBORDINATED, UM, BUT WITH APPROPRIATE PROTECTIONS FOR, UM, FOR LENDERS AND, AND EVERYONE ELSE STANDARD LANGUAGE THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT. 
          UH, THE TOWN DART WILL ULTIMATELY ENTER INTO A SET OF COVENANTS CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS, UM, UH, TO, TO PROHIBIT THE USES THAT ARE NOT APPROPRIATE. 
          UM, ANY PARKING GARAGES, UH, WILL BE INTEGRATED AND, AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO SERVE MULTIPLE USES SIMILAR TO THE PARKING GARAGE THAT WE'RE CONTEMPLATING ON OUR PROPERTY. 
          SOME OF THE SAME IDEA THERE, THE PROPERTY IS, IS IS CERTAINLY SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF, UH, PROVISIONS, UH, FOR SUBLEASING AT THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT, THE PAYMENT INSURANCE, THOSE KIND OF TYPE OF THINGS. 
          ALL THINGS THAT WOULD BE TYPICAL, UM, FOR THESE AGREEMENTS AND THAT ARE TYPICAL IN DARTS AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER TOWNS AND SIMILAR SETUPS ALONG THEIR RAIL LINES. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          CIA. 
          AND THAT'S THE END OF THE 
          [01:15:01]
PRESENTATION. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          I HAVE ONE. 
          YES, SHIRLEY? IT ALL SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, EXCEPT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE START DATE IS,  FOR THE 60 MONTHS FOR ANY OF IT. 
          YEAH, I MEAN THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LIKE THE FIVE YEARS, 10 YEARS, 60 MONTHS, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. 
          SO WHEN DOES IT ALL ACTUALLY START? SO WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT, SO IF YOU GO, CAN WE GO BACK, UH, TO THE, GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE TWO AFTER THE, THERE YOU GO. 
          THAT'S GOOD. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, SO THE, THERE'S INITIAL TERM OF THE 49 YEARS, SO, UH, THAT, DO YOU WANNA COME UP PHYLLIS AND ANSWER THE QUESTION DIRECTLY? FEL LEASE PROVIDES A TERM FOR THE TOWN TO IDENTIFY THE MASTER DEVELOPER AND ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS WITH THAT PER OR THAT CORPORATION. 
          UM, AND THEN WE HAVE, THAT'S A PRE-DEVELOPMENT PERIOD OF 60 MONTHS. 
          AND DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GOING ON WITH MASTER DEVELOPER, BUT THE RENT DOESN'T COMMENCE UNTIL THE FIRST BUILDING ON THE DART PROPERTY GETS A CO WHEN THE DARTS ABILITY TO USE THE TRANSIT FACILITIES IS AFFECTED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OR, UH, THAT WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. 
          SO THEORETICALLY, THAT COULD BE FIVE YEARS OUT FROM THE, UH, EXECUTION OF THIS MASTER LEASE. 
          AND THEN AFTER THAT YOU HAVE THIS FIRST FIVE YEAR PERIOD OF RENT, UH, WHICH IS ESTABLISHED BY THE APPRAISAL. 
          AND THEN AS, UH, MR. GAINES EXPLAINED AFTER THAT, THERE'S ANOTHER FIVE YEAR APPRAISAL AND THEN GOES THROUGH IT EVERY 10 YEARS. 
          SO IT IS CONFUSING. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE, IT SAYS HERE, THE TOWN HAS 48 MONTHS TO ENTER INTO A SUBLEASE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. 
          YES. 
          HAS THAT NOT BEEN APPROVED ALREADY? NO. 
          UM, SO WITH A MASS, WE HAVE NOT APPROVED ANY AGREEMENTS WITH A MASTER DEVELOPER YET. 
          SO WE TECHNICALLY DO NOT HAVE A START DATE YET. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW. 
          YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO WHEN WE WOULD, WE ANTICIPATE A START DATE IS THIS, WE WOULD APPROVE THIS AND THEN WE WOULD SIGN THIS ONE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS OR MONTH OR SO. 
          WELL, WE NEED TO FIND IT TO THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATION. 
          WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHO OUR DEVELOPER IS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT DOESN'T START UNTIL WE FIND THE DEVELOPER. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO, UH, DART IS AWARE OF WHERE WE ARE WITH, WITH, WITH STREAM AND THE CHANGE, AND THEY WERE COMFORTABLE GOING FORWARD WITH THIS LEASE AS IT STANDS, UNDERSTANDING THERE'S A PROVISION IN THERE THAT ALLOW US TIME TO FIND THE DEVELOPER. 
          SO NOW WE SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FIND A DEVELOPER, BUT IT'S GOOD THAT WE HAVE THIS LEASE DONE AT THIS POINT AS WE GO OUT AND IT OH, IT, IT CONTEMPLATES THAT PROCESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO WOULD THAT BE, WOULD THAT LEASE BE SIGNED AS A SUB WITH THE SUBJECT TO DATE THIS LEASE? YES, IT IS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THOSE ARE WHAT THE DATES YOU SEE THERE AS FAR AS THE 48 MONTHS TO FIND A, TO FIND A DEVELOPER, BUT THEN IT WOULD, THERE WOULD BE SOMEWHERE WOULD BE DOCUMENTED WHAT THAT START DATE IS WHEN THAT CLOCK STARTS TICKING. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT STARTS AFTER THIS IS APPROVED TO FIND A DEVELOPER. 
          WE HAVE 48 MONTHS TO FIND A DEVELOPER. 
          THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT CLOCKS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? YES. 
          I MEAN, THE, THE CLOCK TO FIND THE DEVELOPER IS THE 48 MONTHS. 
          AND THEN ONCE WE FIND A DEVELOPER AND WE GET TO SEE IT, THAT'S WHEN THE OTHER CLOCK STARTS. 
          GOTCHA. 
          MAYOR, THERE'S A QUESTION, NANCY, UH, IF I CAN JUST ASK IT'S QUESTION ALONG THESE SAME LINES. 
          IN THE GROUND LEASE, IN THE GROUND LEASE, WE HAVE A DEFINED TERM EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO BE, IF WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, THEN WE'RE GOING TO INK IT. 
          AND WHEN BOTH PARTIES COMPLETE THEIR EXECUTION, WILL THAT BE THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND THE CLOCK WILL START FOR THE 48 MONTHS AND THE 60 MONTHS? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND CAN, CAN SOMEBODY GIMME A, A SHORT DEFINITION OF WHAT AN SUBORDINATED GROUND LEASE MEANS? I WOULD POINT ASK YOUR CITY ATTORNEY, UH, TO NOT   WHO HASN'T SEEN THE DRAFT OF THE, UH, AGREEMENT , UH, I, I, I HONESTLY CAN'T JUST, UH, ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT SEEING THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT. 
          SO YEAH, SO BASICALLY THAT MEANS THAT A LENDER CANNOT JUMP AHEAD 
          [01:20:01]
IF THERE'S A DEFAULT ON, ON THE, UH, LEASE PAYMENT. 
          THE LENDER IS SUBORDINATE TO THE, TO DART TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. 
          SO IF THEY DON'T MAKE, THEY DON'T MAKE A LEASE PAYMENT ON THERE, THEN UM, DART IS, IS, UH, FIRST POSITION IN FRONT OF THE LENDER. 
          YEAH, SO THAT'S, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND. 
          'CAUSE, BECAUSE I, I, I GENERALLY UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, SUBORDINATION, UM, BUT THIS IS WITH APPROPRIATE PROTECTIONS FOR SUBTENANTS AND LENDERS THAT, THAT ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATE PROTECTIONS, I'M NOT CERTAIN, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT WHEN I WAS READING IT. 
          MAYOR, THERE'S NO ISSUE WITH, UH, PUSHING THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING. 
          LET'S PUSH THIS SO WE CAN MAKE IT VERY CLEAR FOR YOU IN THE NEXT PRESENTATION. 
          I'M ALL IN FOR THAT. 
          SO WE, SO WE SHOULD, UH, POSTPONE THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING. 
          I WOULD, MAYOR I MOVE TO TABLE TO THE NEXT MEETING. 
          WE'LL POSTPONE IT TILL THE NEXT MEETING. 
          IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND THEN A SECOND FROM NANCY? ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, WE WILL POSTPONE THAT UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING AND MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE 
          [c.  Present, discuss and consider action on a Resolution for appointments to the South Quorum Road Study Advisory Committee.]
C PRESENT, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A RESOLUTION FOR APPOINTMENTS TO THE SOUTH QUORUM ROAD STUDY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          JANA MAYOR AND COUNCIL, JANET TIDWELL, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. 
          THE ITEM THAT I'M BRINGING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS THE APPOINTMENT OF AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE SOUTH QUORUM ROAD PROJECT IN JUNE OF 20 OR JUNE 26TH, 2023, COUNSEL APPROVED A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH TE KNOLL AND PERKINS FOR THE ROAD CONSTRUCT RECONSTRUCTION OF QUORUM ROAD. 
          A PORTION OF THIS PROJECT WAS BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS MADE IN THE PARK RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN, WHICH RECOMMENDED PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY SPACES BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PROJECT ALONG WITH THE QUORUM ROAD. 
          ART ARTWALK FUNDS WERE INCLUDED IN THE 2019 BOND ELECTION FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          AND AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS WOULD BE INPUT FROM RESIDENT RESIDENTS AND, UM, BUSINESS PARTIES THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE SOUTH QUORUM BUSINESS DISTRICT. 
          THIS IS VERY UNIQUE FROM MOST OF OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES THAT USUALLY RECOMMEND THAT OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS BE MADE UP OF RESIDENTS OF ADDISON. 
          SO I WANTED TO POINT AND BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT. 
          ORIGINALLY THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDED THAT WE HAD A COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF 14 MEMBERS, UM, ONE BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE AND ONE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVE. 
          HOWEVER, UM, WE INITIALLY RECEIVED 12 APPLICATIONS OR 12 APPLICANTS. 
          ONE OF THOSE DID WITHDRAW THEIR APPLICATION AND ANOTHER ONE COULD NOT CONFIRM THEIR RESIDENCY WITH THE TOWN. 
          AND THEY WERE NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO WE WITHDREW THEIR APPLICATION, UM, BECAUSE WE DID NOT MEET THE TOTAL NUMBER. 
          WE HAVE LEFT THE APPLICATION, UM, FORM OPEN UP UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE TODAY, AND WE HAVE HAD TWO ADDITIONAL APPLICANTS APPLY. 
          AND SO THE LIST THAT YOU SEE UP HERE INCLUDES THEIR NAMES. 
          THAT WOULD BE CHRISTOPHER RIO AND THEN KIMBERLY LLOYD. 
          THEY'RE BOTH ADDISON RESIDENTS. 
          AND THEN WE DID RECEIVE INDICATION THAT FRAN POWELL WOULD BE INTERESTED WHO IS AN ADDISON RESIDENT IN SERVING ON THE COMMITTEE. 
          I DID NOT RECEIVE HER APPLICATION AT THE TIME I CAME TO THIS MEETING, BUT SHE MAY HAVE FILLED THAT OUT. 
          SO I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. 
          STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO ACCEPT ALL 13 OF THE APPLICANTS, INCLUDING FRAN POWELL. 
          UM, AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOME AMENDMENTS THAT WE HEARD SHOULD BE INCLUDED. 
          UM, ONE, SINCE WE ARE ADJUSTING THE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY MOTION THAT YOU TOOK UPDATED THE RESOLUTION AND THE BYLAWS TO REFLECT THE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS THAT WE ARE INCLUDING IN THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE WAS SOME INDICATION THAT WE WANTED TO AMEND THE BYLAWS TO STATE THAT A MEMBER, UM, SEAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE VACATED UPON FILING FOR OFFICE OF THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          AND SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IN THE RECOMMENDATION, THAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN YOUR MOTION. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER? JAN, I'VE GOT A QUESTION ON THE ADDED APPLICANTS, NOT ON THE AGENDA MATRIX. 
          YES. 
          COULD YOU, I'VE GOT FRAN, BUT COULD YOU REPEAT THE OTHERS? YES. 
          CHRISTOPHER RIO. 
          CHRISTOPHER, I'M SORRY, WHAT? R-I-O-R-I-O. 
          YOU'RE ON THE SCREEN MAR, IF YOU CAN SEE IT. 
          I, I CAN'T, I'M 
          [01:25:01]
SORRY. 
          . 
          YOU GOT ME. 
          YOU GOT ME. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. 
          I, I'M HAVING SOME EYE CHALLENGES AND I'VE GOT IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME OVER HERE. 
          AND KIMBERLY? LLOYD. 
          LLOYD? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THESE ARE ALL, THESE THREE ARE ALL RESIDENTS? YES, SIR. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE, MARLIN? UH, NOT AT THIS TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYBODY, ANYBODY? EILEEN, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF THE 13 THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED, IF ANY OF THEM ELECT TO RUN FOR COUNSEL THAT THEY WILL, UH, TENDER THEIR RESIGNATION AND NO LONGER SERVE ON THIS COMMITTEE. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          SECOND SECOND FROM NANCY DISCUSSION. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL, GLAD TO SEE WE GOT, WELL WE GOT TO ALMOST OUR 14 NUMBER WE STARTED WITH. 
          AND, AND THANK YOU FRAN, FOR RAISING YOUR HAND AGAIN TO VOLUNTEER. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND, UH, WELL WITH THAT, WE'LL, UH, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, THAT PASSES. 
          WE WILL MOVE ON. 
          AYE. 
          THANK YOU DAN . 
          ALRIGHT, WE'LL 
          [d.  Consider action to approve a Resolution for an agreement with Granicus for website design services for the Town's main website, intranet, and four (4) subsites; and to authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in an amount not to exceed $76,240.]
MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE D. 
          CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION FOR AN AGREEMENT WITH GRANICUS FOR WEBSITE DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE TOWN'S MAIN WEBSITE INTRANET AND FOUR SUBSITES, AND TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $76,240. 
          MARY. 
          GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          MY NAME IS MARY ROSELEE. 
          I'M THE DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND TOURISM AND I'M HERE WITH YOU TONIGHT, UH, TO, UM, INTRODUCE A CONTRACT WITH, UM, GRANICUS FOR A NEW TOWN OF ADDISON WEBSITE. 
          UM, WE, UM, HAVE BEEN USING THE SAME WEBSITE PROVIDER SINCE 2019. 
          UM, THIS CONTRACT WILL BE FOR THE TOWN SITE ONLY. 
          NOT THE VISIT SITE WILL BE COMING FORWARD WITH A DIFFERENT SOLUTION FOR THAT. 
          UM, BUT THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE MAIN SITE AND FOUR SUBSITES, UM, A SUBSITE FOR THE AIRPORT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PARKS AND REC AND POLICE. 
          AND THAT ALSO WOULD INCLUDE THE INTRANET THAT WE USE INTERNALLY FOR STAFF. 
          THE FIRST YEAR COST IS A ONE-TIME FEE OF 64,000 FOR THE CREATION OF THE PAGE. 
          AND THEN ANOTHER 12,244, THE LICENSING FEE. 
          THEY PRORATED THAT BECAUSE WE WON'T GO LIVE FOR THIS, UM, WITH THIS SITE FOR ANOTHER NINE MONTHS OR SO, BUT WE HAVE TO START PAYING THE LICENSING FEE AS SOON AS WE SIGN THE CONTRACT. 
          SO THEY'VE GIVEN US, THEY'VE PRORATED THE FIRST YEAR FOR THAT. 
          THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR THIS IS THE INTEREST EARNING ON THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REPLACEMENT FUND. 
          UM, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON OUR CURRENT PAGE, WE LAUNCHED IT IN 2019. 
          IT WAS CREATED BY A COMPANY CALLED MUNI CODE. 
          UM, IT HAD A NUMBER OF UPGRADES. 
          THEY HAD JUST MOVED INTO THE TEXAS MARKET AND SO THEY GAVE US SOME THINGS ON OUR SITE THAT, UM, THEY, THAT WEREN'T STANDARD. 
          UM, MUNI CODE WAS PURCHASED BY CIVICS PLUS NOT TOO LONG AGO. 
          UM, AND THE PLATFORM THAT WE USE, IT'S A DRUPAL OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM, UM, HAS REACHED ITS END OF LIFE. 
          SO CIVICS PLUS OFFERED US TWO ALTERNATIVES. 
          UM, ONE IS TO MOVE TO A NEWER VERSION OF OUR CURRENT PLATFORM, BUT WITHOUT ALL OF THE UPGRADES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE OR TO CREATE A NEW WEBSITE ON A NEW PLATFORM. 
          SO WE, UM, DID SOME RESEARCH AND WE DECIDED THAT WE'D LIKE TO SWITCH PROVIDERS AND USE GRANICUS. 
          UM, LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GRANICUS. 
          UM, THEY ARE VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE MUNICIPAL WEBSITE INDUSTRY AND THEY'VE CREATED MORE THAN 1500 GOVERNMENT SITES. 
          UM, CITY OF MIAMI, A CITY OF DENVER, OR SOME OF THEIRS. 
          UM, THEY ALSO WORK LOCALLY WITH CITY OF CARROLLTON, FORT WORTH. 
          UM, WACO, JUST TO GIVE YOU A FEW, UM, THE NEW SITE WILL INCLUDE MOD MODERN DIGITAL SERVICES, INCLUDING FORMS AND SIGNATURES, UM, ONLINE PAYMENTS AND THINGS THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR US TO INTERACT WITH OUR RESIDENTS. 
          THE REDESIGN WILL INCLUDE DATA ANALYSIS OF OUR CURRENT WEBSITE. 
          WE'LL BE LOOKING AT USER RESEARCH AND USER TESTING. 
          WE'LL BE USING OUR GOOGLE ANALYTICS TO REALLY EVALUATE HOW PEOPLE NAVIGATE OUR SITE, HOW THEY COME INTO OUR SITE, WHAT PAGES ARE THE MOST POPULAR PAGES SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON THE PAGES ACCESSIBLE, UM, IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE ARE USING THEM. 
          UM, UH, GRANICUS IS ALSO AN ESRI PARTNER, UM, WHICH WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER INTEGRATE WITH, UM, OUR GIS AND LOCATION INTELLIGENCE SO THAT OUR MAPPING WILL BE REALLY, REALLY STRONG. 
          UM, WE USE IT A LOT FOR OUR PARKS MAP, UM, AND FOR OUR, UM, MAJOR PROJECTS UPDATES PAGE. 
          SO WE'LL REALLY BE ABLE TO ENHANCE THOSE AND IMPROVE THE WAY THEY LOOK AND THE, THE WAY THAT THEY OPERATE FROM A USER'S PERSPECTIVE. 
          UM, WE ALSO EXPECT TO HAVE BETTER INTEGRATION WITH THE NEW AGENDA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          [01:30:01]
LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE COMING FORWARD TO YOU, UM, IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH ANOTHER SOLUTION FOR THE VISIT PLATFORM. 
          UM, SO THIS JUST COVERS THE, THE TOWN PAGE, UM, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          QUESTIONS. 
          MARLON? UH, YES, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, MARY, ARE WE, DO YOU ENVISION US, UH, STILL HAVING LIKE THE SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY, UH, FRONT AND CENTER? ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND DO WE KNOW, UM, WITH GRANICUS, IF, IF, UH, WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN TO MAYBE BETTER, MORE IMPROVE SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY THAN WHAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED TO HIM ABOUT. 
          IT'S, IT DOES HAVE SOME BETTER FUNCTIONALITY THAN OURS DOES. 
          I, I'LL, I'LL TRY TO DO LIKE A, A SEARCH FOR THE, THE CHARTER, RIGHT. 
          AND I JUST VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND AND A LOT OF TIMES I'M BACKING OUT OF OUR, LEAVING OUR WEBSITE, GOING TO GOOGLE TO FIND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. 
          SO, UM, I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF IMPROVING THAT, THAT SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU EILEEN. 
          TWO QUESTIONS. 
          ONE, WHAT IS THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE? AND TWO, DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE INFORMATION YOURSELVES OR DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THEM? OH NO, WE ALWAYS DO THE INFORMATION OURSELVES. 
          THIS HAS A REALLY USER-FRIENDLY PLATFORM THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO ROLL OUT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. 
          RIGHT NOW MOST OF THE DEPARTMENTS MAINTAIN THEIR OWN PAGES, UH, AND THEN WE CAN STEP IN AND HELP WHEN THEY NEED OR WE, WE DO THE MAIN PAGE AND AND AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THE MAINTENANCE COST IS, I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME. 
          CHAD, DO YOU HAVE THAT HANDY? IT'S AROUND 24,000 A YEAR. 
          SO THEY GAVE US A, A DISCOUNT FOR THE FIRST YEAR. 
          I CAN EMAIL YOU THE EXACT AMOUNT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THAT 25,000, UM, UH, LICENSING FEE PER YEAR INCLUDES SUPPORT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WITH THE CMS, IT INCLUDES A LIMITED AMOUNT OF SUPPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT SAYS 5% INCREASE OF 5%. 
          UH, IS THAT 5% A YEAR OR IS THAT OVER THE POSSIBLE FIVE YEAR PERIOD? IT'S 5% PER, IT CAN GO UP TO 5% PER YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          AN INCREASE OF 5%. 
          I, UM, I DID, I DID SOME, UH, RESEARCH AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THE OTHER CITY WEBSITES THAT GRANITE HAS. 
          DID, UM, STILL EVERYBODY KNOW THEY'RE, IT'S VERY FAST WHEN YOU GO TO SEARCH, THE SEARCH IS RESPONSIVE SO IT SHOWS THE, THE LISTING, THE FINDINGS AS YOU'RE TYPING THINGS. 
          UM, IT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY GOOD SOLUTION. 
          SO. 
          GOOD, GOOD SELECTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND MARY, I SAW THE COMMENT ABOUT ONLINE PAYMENTS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT ONLINE PAYMENT FOR UTILITY BILLS THAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE. 
          THE UTILITY BILLING SYSTEM IS A SEPARATE SYSTEM FROM THIS THAT WE INTEGRATE WITH. 
          SO THAT'S A SEPARATE SYSTEM THAT WON'T BE TIED INTO THIS, BUT RIGHT NOW, IF YOU WANTED TO SIGN UP FOR, TO BE A VENDOR AT THE GARAGE SALE, UM, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A GOOD WAY TO, UM, ACCEPT PAYMENT FOR THAT. 
          WE, WE HAVE A PAYPAL LINK THAT'S PRETTY CONFUSING. 
          SO THIS WILL INTEGRATE INTO SOME OF THE SOFTWARE THAT FINANCE HAS AND ALLOW US TO HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION FOR OUR USERS. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, IS THERE A MOTION? A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MAYOR. 
          ALRIGHT, MOTION FROM DARREN GQ WITH A SECOND. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, THEN WE WILL PASS ITEM FIVE D AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 
          [6. Items of Community Interest.

          AND I KNOW THAT THAT'S A BIG HELP TO A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS AND UH, I DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. 
          SO I REALLY APPRECIATE, UM, OUR TOWN AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND HAVING SOME OF THESE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE. 
          I AGREE. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MARLON.

          UM, I ENJOY IT VERY MUCH. 
          UM, EVERY TIME I, EVERY TIME I COME AND SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WHETHER IT'S THE SAME DISPLAY OR NOT, I ALWAYS SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE THE, THE PREVIOUS TIME. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THAT ADDITION TO OUR CONFERENCE CENTER. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? WE'LL, I'LL GO A COUPLE OF THINGS.

          AND JUST SEEING THE CAMARADERIE AND THE COMMUNITY OF THAT, THAT REALLY HITS ME WHERE I LIKE TO BE BECAUSE I WANNA BUILD MORE OF A TOGETHERNESS COMMUNITY WITH OUR, WITH OUR CORPORATE, UH, CLIENTS, THEY'RE CUSTOMERS THAT WE HAVE HERE. 
          AND UH, AND THAT REALLY JUST GAVE ME THAT SENSE OF JUST WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. 
          AND SO, AND I WANNA DO A WHOLE LOT MORE OF THAT AND GOT TO SEE SOME REALLY AMAZING TALENT FROM SOME OF OUR STAFF DURING THE LIP SYNC COMPETITION. 
          AND I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S VIDEO. 
          I KNOW THERE'S SOME VIDEO ON MY PHONE ON, ON ONE OF THE TEAMS, SO THAT WAS REALLY GREAT FUN TO WATCH THAT. 
          SOME, SOME, UH, SURPRISING TALENT, BUT REALLY GREAT, GREAT FUN. 
          SO APPRECIATE PARKS AND EVERYBODY PUTTING THAT ON.
