          ALL RIGHT, FOLKS. 
          IT IS 
          [1. Call Meeting to Order]
SIX O'CLOCK, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED. 
          UH, MY NAME'S KEN SCHMIDT. 
          I'M THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE TOWN. 
          UH, LOTS OF FACES I KNOW OUT HERE, BUT I, I KNOW THERE'S SOME, SOME FOLKS THAT ARE NEW TO VOLUNTEERING FOR THE TOWN. 
          BUT, UH, FIRST THANK YOU ALL FOR VOLUNTEERING FOR, UH, THIS DUTY. 
          IT IS A, UM, A CHALLENGING TASK IN THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A, A 14 MONTH PROJECT. 
          WE HAVE A, A LONG SCHEDULE, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR Y'ALL TO REVIEW AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON. 
          AND, UH, I KNOW THAT'S A, A BIG TIME COMMITMENT FOR THIS GROUP AND, UH, THAT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. 
          UM, I AM BIASED AS THE TOWN'S PLANNER, BUT I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY, UH, NO GREATER OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY THAN TO, UH, PARTICIPATE IN A PROJECT THAT'S FOCUSED ON THE LONG RANGE VISION FOR THE TOWN. 
          SO, UH, WE AS STAFF AND OUR CONSULTANT TEAM VERY MUCH LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU OVER THE NEXT 14 MONTHS TO START THAT PROCESS. 
          UM, SO I UNDERSTAND THERE'S KIND OF A BIG EVENT TONIGHT. 
          UH, SO WE'LL, YEAH. 
          YEAH, I, I, I HEAR THE STARS HAVE A BIG GAME TODAY, SO WE WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT AND BE RESPECTFUL OF YOUR TIME. 
          UH, GIVEN THAT THIS IS KICKING OFF THE WORK OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UH, SOME OF THIS INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION, UH, WILL BE REVIEWED FOR SOME OF YOU WHO WENT TO OUR, SOME OF OUR KICKOFF EVENTS. 
          AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON REVIEWING THAT INFORMATION. 
          BUT REALLY, THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING IS TO SET THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE. 
          AND KEY TO THAT IS BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COMMITTEE, UH, AMONGST THE COMMITTEE AND WITH STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT TEAM. 
          SO BRIEFLY FOR THIS PROCESS, ADVANCED ADDISON 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          REALLY, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR, UH, US AS A TOWN, AS A COMMUNITY, UH, NOT JUST THIS COMMITTEE, BUT OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, UH, TO REALLY TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON THE SUCCESSES OF THE PAST, IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES, AND USE THIS PLAN AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD AN EVEN BETTER ADDISON IN THE FUTURE. 
          UH, THE 2050 SPEAKS TO IT BEING A, A LONG RANGE PLAN, BUT, UH, IT'S NOT JUST LOOKING OUT 30 YEARS AND THINKING OUT THAT FAR. 
          THERE'S LOTS OF NEAR AND MIDTERM ACTIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO IDENTIFY IN THIS PLAN FOR IT TO REALLY BE A WORKING, FUNCTIONAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE TOWN. 
          UH, WITH THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE USE IT NOT JUST TO THINK ABOUT HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST OR WHAT ARE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, BUT IT'S ONE OF THE FEW OPPORTUNITIES AS A COMMUNITY THAT WE GET TO REALLY BE ASPIRATIONAL, THINK ABOUT BIG IDEAS. 
          THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE IDEAS THAT WORK, BUT WE NEED TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROPOSE AND PRESENT BIG IDEAS AND IDENTIFY WAYS WE CAN POSSIBLY IMPLEMENT THOSE AS WE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. 
          ALSO, WITH THIS PROJECT, UH, OBVIOUSLY THE, THE BIG TAKEAWAY WILL BE DEVELOPING A VISION FOR THE FUTURE. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE THAT VISION, SOMETHING THAT IS THE RESULT OF COMMUNITY CONSENSUS AND A SHARED VISION, THIS PROJECT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES AND POLICIES TO EXECUTE THAT VISION. 
          SO THAT WILL ADDRESS KEY TOP AREAS, MOST PROMINENTLY, LAND USE REDEVELOPMENT. 
          WE KNOW THAT THAT IS A BIG CHALLENGE IN ADDISON, UH, BUT ALSO OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, PARKS AND RECREATION PLANNING, UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ALL KEY ASPECTS OF WHAT WE KNOW IS TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SOMETHING THAT ADDRESSES THE BROAD FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          THE, THE BIG THING WE DO NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR IN THAT PROCESS IS THE TOWN HAS DONE A LOT OF GOOD PLANNING WORK, UH, PARTICULARLY, UM, UH, IN MOST RECENT YEARS, PLANS THAT WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING. 
          SO WE DO NEED TO RESPECT THOSE PLANS. 
          WE NEED TO LOOK AT 'EM THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE WITH IMPLEMENTATION AND WHAT, IF ANY, REFINEMENTS WE NEED TO MAKE. 
          BUT THAT WILL BE PART OF THIS PROCESS. 
          SO, OVER THE COURSE OF THIS MEETING AND YOUR FIRST FEW MEETINGS, WE'RE GONNA BE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME PRESENTING DATA TO YOU, TALKING ABOUT EXISTING CONDITIONS, EXISTING PLANNING POLICIES, AND BEGINNING TO DISCUSS THE BIG IDEAS THAT THE COMMUNITY AND THIS COMMITTEE HAS. 
          UH, BUT FROM THERE, WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE A BIG TRANSITION TO WORKING THROUGH THAT VISION, OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGIES TO WE GET TO A FINAL PLAN. 
          SO, UM, TO KICK THINGS OFF, I DO WANT TO BEGIN WITH INTRODUCING OUR STAFF AND PROJECT TEAM. 
          SO Y'ALL ARE PROBABLY VERY FAMILIAR WITH JADE, BROAD MAX. 
          SHE'S GONNA BE THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS 
          [00:05:01]
PROJECT. 
          AFTER THIS POINT, UH, YOU'RE GONNA HEAR A LOT LESS OF ME. 
          I'M GONNA BE IN THESE MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATING, BUT JADE IS GONNA BE YOUR DAY-TO-DAY CONTACT FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          UM, OUR PROJECT CONSULTANT TEAM IS LED BY KEVIN SHEPHERD. 
          UH, HIS FIRM IS CALLED VIRGINITY.

          UH, HE'S GONNA INTRODUCE HIS TEAM MEMBERS AND SUB CONSULTANTS THAT YOU'LL SEE, UH, THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT. 
          A COUPLE HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS. SO THIS MEETING AND FUTURE MEETINGS, LIKE ANY PUBLIC MEETING IN ADDISON, IS RECORDED AND TELEVISED. 
          SO, UH, WHEN YOU DO ENGAGE IN THE MEETING, UH, DEFINITELY, UH, USE THE MICROPHONE THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          YOU CAN SEE NOW THAT THEY'RE BLINKING RED, UH, IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THAT MICROPHONE, UH, JUST GO AHEAD AND PRESS THAT RED BUTTON ON THE BASE, AND IT WILL GO GREEN, AND THEN YOU'RE LIVE. 
          UM, SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE KEVIN SHEPHERD. 
          WELL, GOOD EVENING. 
          I, UH, I RECOGNIZE A LOT OF FACES, UH, HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH MAYBE ABOUT A, A THIRD OF YOU GUYS AT THE, THE COMMUNITY MEETING, BUT, UM, I'M GONNA, IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I KNOW, UH, I KNOW WE ALL WANT GET THROUGH THIS, SO I'M GONNA JUMP, UM, I'M GONNA JUMP STRAIGHT IN.

          ADDISON'S A VERY UNIQUE PLACE, UM, AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE DO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE TEND TO KIND OF JUST FOCUS ON THE RESIDENTS PERSPECTIVE. 
          BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY, UM, DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES THAT COME TOGETHER TO MAKE ADDISON, UM, SO SPECIAL, WE WANNA TRY TO REACH OUT TO ALL OF THOSE FOLKS THAT THE BEST, UH, AS WE CAN. 
          AND I THINK STARTING WITH YOU ALL WITH THIS COMMITTEE, UM, WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE OUR, OUR CLIENTS TO TRY TO MAKE THE COMMITTEE BE A, A CROSS SECTION A, A GOOD KIND OF REPRESENTATION OF THE BROADER COMMUNITY. 
          SO YOU ALL ARE HERE TO REPRESENT NOT JUST YOUR, YOUR OWN OPINIONS, BUT ALSO OTHERS WHO THINK AND, AND DO SIMILAR WORK OR LIVE IN A, UM, THE SAME, UH, AREA AS, AS YOU ALL, UM, LOTS TO GET THROUGH TONIGHT. 
          BUT, UH, WE ARE GONNA GO THROUGH IT QUICKLY. 
          UH, RAISE YOUR HAND FOR ME. 
          HOW MANY OF YOU WERE AT THE COMMUNITY MEETING AND SAW THE FIRST PRESENTATION? OKAY, SO MOST OF YOU ALL, I, I, IT'S NOT THE SAME EXACT PRESENTATION, BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN HERE. 
          UM, IF YOU'VE SEEN, IF YOU WERE HERE BEFORE, YOU'RE, IT'S GONNA, YOU'RE GONNA RECOGNIZE IT.

          UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING, UH, SINCE APRIL, 2011, UM, AS OUR FIRM.

          UM, WE'VE GOT CATHERINE WITH, UH, WITH MY TEAM DOWN THERE AT THE END, TAKING SOME NOTES. 
          UM, BUT YOU'RE ALSO GONNA SEE THESE OTHER FIRMS AS PART OF THIS, UH, THIS PROCESS. 
          I, I ALREADY MENTIONED ADDISON'S A VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE PLACE. 
          UM, AS SUCH, WE WANTED TO PUT A TEAM TOGETHER THAT HAD THE RIGHT MIX OF EXPERTISE TO TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT, THAT YOU ALL HAVE HERE. 
          SO, CIVIC BRAND, RYAN AND BRISA. 
          UM, THE PROJECT BRANDING THAT YOU SEE, THEY CREATED THAT, UH, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF THEIR TEAM IN TRIP, UH, TWO COMING UP IN JANUARY WHEN WE START TO TALK ABOUT VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES. 
          UM, BUT ALL OF THE ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS THROUGH THIS, UM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WEBSITE, UH, THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR, UH, TONY AND NINA WITH HAWS HILL AND ASSOCIATES. 
          THEY'RE FOCUSED ON THE MARKET RESEARCH ASPECT. 
          UM, THEY JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED SOME WORK WITH THE ENERGY CORRIDOR DOWN IN HOUSTON. 
          VERY SIMILAR KIND OF CHALLENGES TO THE OFFICE, UM, UH, RETAIL, UH, AND COMMERCIAL CHALLENGES THAT, THAT YOU ALL HAVE HERE IN ADDISON. 
          SO I'VE WORKED WITH THOSE GUYS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. 
          THEY HAVE A LITTLE DIFFERENT SLANT ON, UH, ON THE MARKET COMPONENT. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE MORE TOWARDS CREATING AND, AND NUDGING THE MARKET TOWARDS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, AS OPPOSED TO JUST LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND THE DATA AND SAYING, WE NEED X SQUARE FOOT OF, OF A, B, AND C. 
          UM, ARC. 
          UH, CRAIG AND NOEL, UM, FORMERLY, FORMERLY CALLISON, UH, RTKL, THEY WERE BOTH INVOLVED WITH ADDISON CIRCLE BACK DURING THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF IT. 
          VERY FAMILIAR WITH, UM, WITH ADDISON, BUT ALSO DO A LOT OF REALLY HIGH QUALITY URBAN DESIGN WORK, UM, ALL OVER THE WORLD, UM, IN THE STATES. 
          AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, 110%, 
          [00:10:01]
UM, THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE PARK DEVELOPMENT FEE PROJECT WITH JANUS TEAM, UM, OF WHICH WE'RE A SUB TO THEM. 
          WE'RE SUB CONSULTANT TO THEM ON, ON THAT, BUT THEY'RE, UM, THEY'RE ALREADY DIGGING INTO, UH, THE TRAILS MASTER PLAN AND A LOT OF THE PARK ELEMENTS, UM, THAT ARE THERE. 
          SO WE WANTED TO KIND OF HAVE THAT, THAT CONNECTION WITH THAT EFFORT, UM, AS WELL. 
          UM, SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF REAL, REAL BRIEFLY, OUR TEAM. 
          UM, WHAT THE, REALLY THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING IS, IS TO GET US ALL INTRODUCED. 
          SO NOT JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF, OF OUR TEAM, BUT ALSO FOR YOU ALL. 
          SOME OF Y'ALL KNOW EACH OTHER WELL, SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE. 
          SO, UM, REAL QUICK 
          [1.  Introduction of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) and Project Team. ]
INTRODUCTIONS. 
          TRY TO KEEP THESE TO LIKE TWO TO THREE MINUTES MAX. 
          UM, JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME, THE TIME YOU'VE LIVED, UH, AND OR WORKED IN ADDISON, AND THEN THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT YOU THINK THIS PLAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. 
          I KNOW IN YOUR APPLICATIONS, YOU GAVE US THE TOP THREE CHALLENGES AND TOP THREE, UH, OPPORTUNITIES, WHICH WE'RE DIGGING INTO THOSE AS WELL. 
          BUT I WANT TO HEAR THE ONE THING. 
          IT COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY, IT COULD BE A CHALLENGE. 
          YOU CAN TAKE IT WHEREVER, WHEREVER YOU WANT. 
          SO LET'S START OVER HERE ON, ON THIS AND GIVE US YOUR, YOUR NAME, HOW LONG YOU'VE LIVED HERE, AND THE NUMBER ONE THING. 
          UH, MY NAME'S DR. 
          GAR. 
          I'VE WORKED IN OKAY. 
          COMMUNITY. 
          GREAT. 
          OH, SO I AM AARON OR AJ BENJAMIN. 
          UH, I'VE LIVED IN ADDISON, UH, JUST A COUPLE YEARS NOW. 
          UM, I DO ALSO WORK IN ADDISON. 
          UM, I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE AT A LOCAL ARCHITECTURE FIRM FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS. 
          UM, AND I THINK THE TOP THING WE SHOULD ADDRESS IS DEAL, UM, DEVELOPING STRATEGIES THAT CAN WORK AT LIKE A VARIETY OF SCALES. 
          'CAUSE ADDISON DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF JUST KIND OF LIKE OPEN LAND LEFT FOR DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO HOW CAN EXISTING SITES AND BUILDINGS BE LIKE REDEVELOPED, YOU KNOW, FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS? HI, MY NAME IS ABBY STODDARD, AND I'M THE HEAD OF REAL ESTATE AND FACILITIES FOR MARY KAY HERE IN ADDISON. 
          AND I'VE WORKED HERE FOR FIVE YEARS. 
          UH, THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT I WOULD SAY IS MORE GENERAL THAN MY PREVIOUS COLLEAGUES HERE, BUT IT WOULD BE TO MAKE THE PLAN FLEXIBLE, SUCH THAT IT CAN ROLL WITH THE CHANGES THAT COULD COME FORWARD IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS. 
          NO ONE PREDICTED COVID, NO ONE PREDICTED THIS EXODUS OUT OF CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, ALL COMING TO NORTH TEXAS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S PUT A STRAIN ON ALL OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, ADDISON INCLUDED. 
          SO HOW CAN WE MAKE IT FLEXIBLE, UH, TO ADDRESS THAT GOOD STUFF? HI, I'M ALL ANGEL. 
          WE BUILT OUR HOME IN ADDISON 18 YEARS AGO, AND CONTROLLED GROWTH, INTENTIONAL GROWTH. 
          THAT WOULD BE MY PRIMARY ISSUE. 
          HI, I AM BRIT WELLS. 
          UH, I DO NOT LIVE HERE, BUT I'VE WORKED HERE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. 
          I OPENED AN OFFICE FOR OUR COMPANY, IT'S CALLED AKRAM GROUP. 
          WE'RE A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER, OWNER OPERATOR, AND I OPENED THAT OFFICE IN SPECTRUM CENTER, WHICH IS HERE ON THE BELT LINE IN THE TOLLWAY. 
          UM, WE'RE CURRENTLY REPOSITIONING IT AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY BULLISH ABOUT THE MARKET. 
          I THINK THE TOP ITEM I'M HERE TO ADDRESS, AT LEAST, IS HOW DO YOU, HOW DO YOU THOUGHTFULLY EMBRACE GROWTH? NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, ATTRACTING TENANTS TO YOUR OFFICE BUILDINGS, BUT, BUT ALSO THOUGHTFULLY ATTRACTING YOUNG TALENT, I THINK IS A BIG, YOU KNOW, A BIG ITEM ON MY LIST. 
          AND I THINK IF YOU DO THAT APPROPRIATELY, IT JUST BOOSTS THE ECONOMY. 
          RETAIL SALES OFFICE BUILDINGS STAY FULL AND IT'S, UM, IT'S JUST A, A BOOST TO THE ECONOMY. 
          SO I THINK HOW YOU THOUGHTFULLY DO THAT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. 
          HI, MY NAME IS CAROL RENISON. 
          I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT AND HOMEOWNER IN ADDISON. 
          [00:15:25]
MY NAME'S CONRAD HORNSTEIN. 
          I'VE LIVED IN ADDISON SINCE, UH, 2015, THE FIRST OF TOWNHOUSES OVER HERE. 
          NOW I'M OVER BY THE RECREATION CENTER, AND ACTUALLY I JUST BOUGHT A, SOLD THAT, AND I'M MOVING OVER TO MERIDIAN. 
          UM, MY TOP ISSUE IS, UM, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY MORE PEDESTRIAN, MEANING I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED ADDISON'S WALKABILITY. 
          THE CIRCLE IS WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE. 
          AND EVEN OVER BY LES LAX IN THE ATHLETIC CENTER. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S A TRAIL NETWORK THAT CAN TAKE YOU DOWN TO, UH, PET TRIVIAN PARK, AND YOU CAN COME BACK OVER THE BRIDGE. 
          ALL THOSE ISSUES RELATED TO HOW THE, YOU CAN MOVE ABOUT INSIDE, UM, ADDISON OR WHAT INTERESTS ME, UH, IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT A CAR, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO DO IT, WALKING, BICYCLING, OR MAYBE ONE DAY THERE COULD BE A, A TROLLEY OR A TRAM THAT MOVED US ABOUT. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN. 
          HI, DAVE COLLINS, UH, RESIDENT FOR FIVE YEARS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I STRUGGLED WITH THIS ONE, AND, UM, I READ THE 2013 MASTER PLAN BEING RETIRED. 
          I ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. 
          AND, UH, WHAT WHAT STRUCK ME WAS A LOT OF THE THINGS IN THERE ARE STILL VERY, VERY VIABLE TODAY. 
          SO, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THIS PROCESS IS ONE OF STEWARDSHIP THAT WE'VE DONE A REALLY, I THINK, A GOOD JOB OF TRYING TO EXECUTE ON THAT PLAN. 
          BUT GIVEN THE WORLD WE'RE IN TODAY WITH, WITH COVID IMPACT AND THE OFFICE ENVIRONMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME TRANSFORMATIONAL THINKING GO ON IN THIS PROCESS. 
          UH, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOME BIG PLAYS, AND I HOPE THAT COMES OUT OF OUR DIALOGUE COLLECTIVELY. 
          HELLO, I'M DENISE FANSLER. 
          I HAVE LIVED IN ADDISON FOR 24 YEARS, SO FIRST THREE YEARS, I GUESS, AS A RENTER, THE LAST YEARS AFTER THAT AS A HOMEOWNER. 
          AND I'VE ALSO HAD MANY BUSINESSES INVOLVED IN ADDISON. 
          I WORK IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE. 
          UM, MY BIGGEST TOP LIST WOULD BE REVITALIZATION, AND THAT'S FROM PHYSICAL AS WELL AS THAT COMES INTO THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT. 
          AND PEOPLE, I MEAN, NOT JUST, NOT JUST STICKS AND BRICKS. 
          MY NAME'S JIM DUFFY. 
          UH, AS OF THIS MONTH, I'VE LIVED IN ASPEN FOR 40 YEARS. 
          I, UH, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, ISN'T IT? ? UH, I THINK THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SERVING ON THE VISION COMMITTEE IN 2020, AND WE CAME AWAY WITH THAT, WITH THE NEED FOR A CENTRAL POINT IN ADDISON OF DOWNTOWN, A PLACE THAT IDENTIFIED ADDISON AND WHAT YOU'RE SITTING IN AND WHAT'S THE SURROUNDING PARK. 
          SO FORTH IS WHAT CAME OUT OF THAT. 
          I HOPE WE CAN DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING, COME WITH SOMETHING REALLY TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR THE TOWN, UH, AND LARGELY IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY LITTLE RAW LAND TO DEVELOP. 
          SO IT'S REALLY GONNA BE FOCUSED IN MY MIND ON REDEVELOPING THE ASSETS THAT ARE ALREADY HERE. 
          MY NAME'S JOSEPH, ER, I'VE LIVED IN ADDISON FOR FIVE YEARS NOW, AND MY TOP ITEM, I THINK WOULD BE JUST REMAINING ATTRACTIVE. 
          UM, ESPECIALLY AS WE, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPETITION AROUND, WHETHER IT'S, UH, VALLEY VIEW MALL REDEVELOPMENT OR SINGLE FAMILIES, YOU KNOW, WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING AROUND US, HOW WE NAVIGATE WHAT WE CAN CONTROL INTERNALLY, UM, WHILE KNOWING THINGS EXTERNALLY WILL EVOLVE. 
          HI, MY NAME'S CATHERINE ERICKSON. 
          I'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF YEARS, UH, DALLAS NATIVE, ALWAYS THOUGHT ADDISON WAS BARS AND RESTAURANTS. 
          AND SINCE LIVING HERE, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT IT'S A TOWN. 
          AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO MOST FOCUS ON DURING THIS PROCESS IS TO INCREASE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, UH, BOTH INTERNALLY IN ADDISON AND EXTERNALLY. 
          IT'D BE NICE THAT ADDISON IS NOT JUST KNOWN FOR KABOOM TOWN. 
          WE, WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER, BUT THE SURROUNDING AREAS DON'T REALIZE IT OR, OR HAVEN'T BEEN MADE AWARE. 
          HI, I AM CATHERINE WHEELER, AND I'VE LIVED HERE OVER 27 YEARS. 
          UM, AND I HAVE, I'M A FORMER EVERYTHING IN THIS TOWN JUST ABOUT INCLUDING WORKING ON THE 2013 COMP PLAN. 
          SO YOU'VE GOT ME FOR THAT, 
          [00:20:02]
OR GOOD OR BAD, ANYWAY. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE US TO NOT LOSE OUR SMALL TOWN FEEL IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, IT HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE LAST 15 YEARS. 
          I WOULD SAY. 
          JIM WOULD PROBABLY SAY THE SAME THING. 
          WE USED TO ALL KNOW EACH OTHER, AND WE'VE GROWN SO BIG THAT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE NOW. 
          BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A WAY THAT WE COULD TRY TO KEEP THAT OR TRY TO INGRAIN THAT SOME WAY. 
          IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS HERE. 
          UH, CHRIS BROWN, UM, I ACTUALLY, UH, RUN THE MARRIOTT QUORUM. 
          I'M THE GM THERE. 
          UM, BEEN THERE ABOUT 10 YEARS, RUN THAT HOTEL. 
          AND, UH, I'VE ACTUALLY LIVED THERE THE LAST TWO YEARS, UH, COMING OUTTA COVID, UH, HAD TO REBUILD THE WHOLE TEAM, SO ACTUALLY DECIDED TO, AFTER ALL THOSE HOURS, JUST DECIDED TO MOVE INTO THE PROPERTY, HAVE A GM RESIDENCE. 
          SO I'VE LIVED THERE, HERE IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. 
          SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, TO BE COMPETITIVE MARKET SHARE. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE DEFINITELY LOSING MARKET SHARE TO PLANO, AND FRISCO USED TO LIVE IN FRISCO, SO WE GOTTA DO A BETTER JOB. 
          YEAH. 
          HI, I AM CHRIS HANNON. 
          I AM THE GM OVER AT HOME, TWO SUITES, ADDISON, AND I'VE BEEN EMPLOYED IN ADDISON SINCE 2 0 0 9. 
          SO I'VE DEFINITELY SEEN THE DEVELOPMENT AND PARTS OF REDEVELOPMENT THAT HAS KIM THROUGH ADDISON. 
          SO, UM, WANTING TO ADDRESS THAT. 
          UM, ADDISON'S GOT A SMALL FOOTPRINT, AND LIKE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, IT WAS VERY COMMUNITY YEARS AGO, AND I KIND OF SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, LOSING A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO, I MEAN, A LOT OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL. 
          I SEE GUESTS COMING IN AND THEY'RE NOT KNOWING WHERE TO GO, HOW TO GET THERE. 
          SO, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE I THINK IS ALSO REALLY BIG, AS WELL AS THE REDEVELOPMENT TOO. 
          OH, YEAH. 
          HI EVERYONE. 
          I'M MARK GODFREY WITH COLEY PARTNERS. 
          UM, BEEN WORKING IN THE TOWN OF ADDISON FOR RIGHT AROUND 10 YEARS. 
          UH, WE HAVE DEVELOPED, OWNED AND OPERATED, UH, LARGE COMMERCIAL CLASS, A OFFICE SPACE HERE. 
          UM, THE TOP ITEM, I MEAN, I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IS THE, YOU KNOW, THE REPOSITIONING OF A LOT OF THE, UH, AREA HERE, AND OBVIOUSLY DEVELOPMENT FROM A, FROM A CORPORATE AND RETAIL STANDPOINT. 
          I'M SUE HALPERN, UM, ONLY JIM DUFFY'S LIVED HERE LONGER. 
          UM, I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 34 YEARS NOW. 
          UM, I THINK THE, UH, THE BIGGEST ISSUE I SEE THESE DAYS IS REDEVELOPMENT IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY. 
          UM, AND I'M, I'M VERY INTERESTED TO LEARN ABOUT, UM, HOW WE REDEVELOP, ABSORB, UH, NEW CITIZENS, INCREASE IN POPULATION WHILE MAINTAINING THE HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT, UM, ADDISON IS KNOWN FOR, UM, WHICH ENCOMPASSES A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          I THINK WE'VE DONE A GREAT JOB SO FAR, AND, UM, I THINK UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE CAN ABSORB, UM, WILL IN SOME WAY INFORM, UM, WHAT WE THINK ABOUT REDEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, ANYWAY, LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EVERYONE. 
          HI, I'M JIM PECK. 
          UH, WE'VE LIVED IN ADDISON FOR FIVE YEARS. 
          I'M IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE. 
          UM, I THINK, UH, WHAT I SEE IS KIND OF SIMILAR THING, REDEVELOPMENT, UM, BUT ALSO TRANSPORTATION. 
          UM, IT SEEMS LIKE POST COVID, THE, UH, STREETS HAVE GOTTEN A LOT MORE BUSIER, AND I KNOW PART OF THAT'S KIND OF DUE TO THE MIDWAY PROJECT AND PEOPLE REDIRECTING. 
          UH, BUT EVEN AS PART OF THAT PROJECT FREEZE UP, I THINK PEOPLE HAVE STARTED TO DEVELOP THAT HABIT OF USING, UH, ADDISON ROAD. 
          AND A LOT OF THE OTHER, UH, FEEDER ROADS IS MORE PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION. 
          SO KIND OF SEE HOW WE COULD, UH, MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. 
          HOW SENSITIVE ARE THESE MICS? DO I, DO I NEED TO PULL IT CLOSER OR? YEAH, PROBABLY. 
          OKAY. 
          HI EVERYONE. 
          HOWDY EVERYONE. 
          MY NAME'S TYLER WRIGHT. 
          I'VE BEEN WORKING IN ADDISON SINCE 2017 OR SO, KIND OF AS AN INTERNSHIP AND JUST OUTTA COLLEGE. 
          I'VE LIVED AROUND THE AREA SINCE 2018 AND HAVE MOVED INTO ADDISON PROPERLY SINCE, UH, LATE 2021. 
          UM, LOVE IT HERE. 
          I THINK THE BIGGEST THING THIS PLAN SHOULD ADDRESS IS PROBABLY SOME GUIDANCE ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN. 
          UM, SINCE WE'RE LOOKING OUT TO 2050, WE'RE EXPECTING A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHANGES. 
          I MEAN, I'M 27 AND I'VE LIVED THROUGH THREE OF THE HOTTEST TEXAS SUMMERS, UH, HERE. 
          I DON'T EXPECT THAT TO GET ANY COOLER. 
          UM, SO THINGS THAT ADDRESS MITIGATION, ADAPTATION, PREPAREDNESS FOR EMERGENCIES, UM, SOME 
          [00:25:01]
GUIDANCE THERE, UM, WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. 
          YEAH, IT'S BACK ON. 
          HI. 
          HELLO EVERYBODY. 
          I'M TOM BROWN. 
          I'VE LIVED HERE LESS THAN JIM, LESS THAN SUE, BUT 32 YEARS. 
          SO , UM, WHEN WE MOVED TO ADDISON, WE MOVED HERE BECAUSE IT WAS EXCITING, ENERGETIC PLACE. 
          THERE'S VIBRANCY HERE. 
          THAT'S WHAT I, THAT'S WHAT I WANT. 
          I WANT US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ADDISON IS AND EMBRACE ADDISON AND MAKE SURE WE'RE A VIBRANT TOWN. 
          WE'RE SMALL, WE'RE FOUR AND A HALF SQUARE MILES AIRPORT, TAKING A MILE OF IT. 
          SO WE DON'T HAVE, WE CAN'T DO WHAT FRISCO DOES, BUT WE GOTTA COMPETE WITH THOSE PEOPLE. 
          SO I THINK THE WHOLE IDEA, SOMEBODY, YOU SAID THAT HOUSTON WAS, THEY DID SOME STUFF WHERE THEY'RE NUDGING FORWARD, I GUESS IS YOUR WORD. 
          WE DID THAT WITH ADDISON CIRCLE WITH VITRUVIAN. 
          I WAS LIKE, I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE BIG IDEAS FOR DOWN THE ROAD TO KEEP US COMPETITIVE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE. 
          SO THAT WAS, UH, THAT WAS GREAT. 
          AND I THINK AS, AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, JUST STUDYING SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE GOT ON YOU ALL THIS, IT'S A VERY DIVERSE GROUP, RIGHT, IN TERMS OF AGES AND INTERESTS, TIME IN ADDISON, NEW TO ADDISON, UM, DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. 
          AND SO, UM, IT'S ALWAYS, IT'S ALWAYS FUN. 
          AND IT'S ALSO A, A LITTLE BIT, UM, I THINK EASIER FOR OUR TEAM TO HAVE, UH, SOME FOLKS LIKE YOU THAT WE CAN REALLY TAP INTO, UM, FOR THOSE DIFFERENT KIND OF PERSPECTIVES. 
          AND AS KEN SAID, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE START TO WORK THROUGH THIS PROCESS, REALLY STARTING TO, THERE'S ALWAYS TENSIONS IN DEVELOPMENT. 
          THERE'S ALWAYS TRADE-OFFS, RIGHT? AND SO WE'RE GONNA GONNA USE THIS COMMITTEE TO START TO VET SOME OF THOSE DIFFERENT TRADE-OFFS AND CONVERSATIONS AS WE GET INTO THIS. 
          UM, JUST TO BUILD ON WHAT YOU JUST SAID, THOUGH, UM, YOU KNOW, ADDISON, IF YOU GO BACK, YOU KNOW, 20, UH, MY, MY FIRST MEMORIES OF OF ADDISON WERE WHEN I MOVED UP HERE IN, IN 94, RIGHT OUTTA SCHOOL, AND I SAW IT AS BARS AND RESTAURANTS TOO, RIGHT? YOU CAME HERE TO EAT, YOU CAME HERE TO, TO GO OUT, YOU CAME HERE FOR THE, THE FIREWORKS KIND OF STUFF. 
          UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, ADDISON CIRCLE AND SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, VITRUVIAN AND OTHER PLACES THAT, THAT WE HAVE IN ADDISON TODAY, WHEN IT FIRST WENT IN, IT REALLY WAS FORWARD THINKING DEVELOPMENT FOR NORTH TEXAS IN A LOT OF WAYS. 
          UH, IT WAS SOME OF THE FIRST KIND OF MORE URBAN, MORE WALKABLE, MORE DENSE, UH, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN THE REGION, UM, THAT NOW YOU SEE THE FRISCO'S AND THE PLANOS AND OTHERS THAT, THAT HAVE STARTED TO, UM, COPY THAT IN A LOT OF WAYS. 
          AND SO SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY THEY'VE LEVELED IT UP, THEY'VE GONE AHEAD OF, OF ADDISON IN SOME WAYS. 
          UM, BUT I, I, I THINK JUST A, A LITTLE BIT OF PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE IN, IN OUR TEAM'S PERSPECTIVE IN, IN JUST KIND OF DIGGING INTO ADDISON THE LAST FEW MONTHS, GETTING READY FOR THIS, UM, YOU'RE, YOU'VE GOT A MORE AUTHENTIC, MORE KIND OF HUMAN SCALE VERSION OF THAT MIXED USE THAN A LOT OF OTHER PLACES, NOT JUST IN NORTH TEXAS, BUT ACROSS TEXAS AND EVEN OTHER PLACES THAT I THINK, UM, YOU WERE MENTIONING FOLKS COMING FROM BOTH COASTS, RIGHT? UM, SO THAT, THAT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IF WE START TO THINK ABOUT WHAT'S THAT PERSONAL SMALL TOWN FEEL, A LOT OF COMMUNITIES IN TEXAS SAY, WE WANNA PRESERVE THAT SMALL TOWN FEEL. 
          WELL, WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN, RIGHT? UM, AND ABSENCE AN INTERESTING, IT'S SMALL GEOGRAPHICALLY, IT'S HIGHER DENSITY, BUT YOU DO STILL HAVE THAT RELATION, THOSE RELATIONSHIPS, AND YOU HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT FACILITATE A LOT OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, BUT THEY'RE NOT AS WELL CONNECTED AS THEY COULD BE. 
          UM, YOU STILL HAVE SOME OF IT THAT ARE, UM, YOU, YOU'VE GOT SOME OF THE DRIVING AND THE, THE DRIVE THROUGH TRAFFIC, UM, THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. 
          SO, UH, AND THEN, SO THERE'S A LOT OF SMALL THINGS YOU CAN DO, UH, WITH REDEVELOPMENT, WITH KIND OF PRESERVING AND STABILIZING SOME PLACES, AND THEN FINDING OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS OR OTHER AREAS THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO GET AGGRESSIVE WITH REDEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, UH, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO, I THINK THERE DOES NEED TO BE SPACE FOR THOSE BIG IDEAS AND THE BIG VISIONARY IDEAS THAT ARE GONNA KIND OF, UM, YOU KNOW, WE USE THE PHRASE, UH, YOU KNOW, LEVELING UP. 
          UM, WHAT ARE A COUPLE OF THOSE BIG IDEAS THAT WE'LL PUT ADDISON BACK AT THE FRONT, UH, AT THE FOREFRONT OF DEVELOPMENT IN, IN NORTH TEXAS. 
          SO, UM, KEN ALREADY COVERED THIS, I DON'T NEED TO GO OVER THIS AGAIN, BUT, UM, THE COMP PLAN, WHAT IT IS THAT, THAT SHARED VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST STEP OF THIS FOR, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE LISTENING, STUDYING THE DATA, LOOKING AT THE SURVEYS, UM, A LOT OF THAT KIND OF WORK RIGHT NOW JUST TO KIND OF GET A BASELINE UNDERSTANDING. 
          BUT THEN WE'RE GONNA BE DIGGING INTO WHAT IS THAT SHARED VISION AND, AND THE CORE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE WANNA USE TO, TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE PROCESS THROUGH. 
          UM, KIND OF THE, THE BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND, JUST HELPING YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND OR KIND OF ENVISION WHAT THIS PLAN STRUCTURE WILL LOOK LIKE. 
          THIS IS HOW WE LIKE TO SET UP THE MAJORITY OF THE COMP PLANS THAT WE WORK ON. 
          THERE'S THREE MAIN, UM, CHAPTERS, IF YOU WANNA CALL 'EM THAT. 
          THE FIRST ONE IS INTRODUCTION. 
          SO WE TALK ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN, WE TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS TO CREATE IT. 
          THERE'S ALSO A, A PART IN THERE WHERE WE TALK ABOUT HOW TO USE THE PLAN FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS, HOW A RESIDENT CAN USE IT, HOW ELECTED OFFICIALS SHOULD USE IT, HOW STAFF 
          [00:30:01]
WOULD USE IT. 
          UM, THAT'S SOME FEEDBACK WE'VE GOTTEN OVER THE YEARS FROM DIFFERENT PLANS, IS FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT TO A DOCUMENT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND SAY, OKAY, HOW DO I ACTUALLY USE THIS THING BEYOND SPENDING SEVERAL WEEKENDS TO READ THE WHOLE THING, , RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          UM, COMMUNITY CONTEXT, WE DON'T, WE DON'T LOOK BACKWARD A LOT. 
          WE WANNA LOOK FORWARD, WHAT'S THE CONTEXT OF ADDISON RIGHT NOW? WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS YOU WANT TO HANG ONTO? AND THEN WHAT'S THE CONTEXT OF, OF HOW ADDISON IS, IS MOVING FORWARD? UM, ECONOMICS OF LAND USE AND FINANCIAL RESILIENCE. 
          UM, A HUGE, HUGE KIND OF TENANT PRINCIPLE OF OUR FIRM AND EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY. 
          UM, PART OF WHY I STARTED OUR FIRM WAS WHEN I WAS WORKING NATIONALLY, UM, I, I WORKED IN A LOT OF PLACES, SAW A LOT OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, BIG CITIES, SMALL CITY, RURAL, URBAN, SUBURBAN, UM, AND MOST OF THEM ARE STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          MOST CITIES WILL TELL YOU, WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE BUILT, BUT THEY KEEP BUILDING MORE , RIGHT? UM, ADDISON IS NOT, IS NOWHERE NEAR THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE RAISE, THE RED FLAG END OF THAT SPECTRUM. 
          BUT YOU DO STILL NEED TO THINK ABOUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO SUSTAIN WHAT WE'VE BUILT? HOW ARE WE GONNA TAKE CARE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE BUILT? HOW ARE WE GONNA RETROFIT IT, RIGHT SIZE IT, CHANGE IT, EVOLVE IT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE FUTURE? UM, HOW ARE WE GONNA HAVE THE REVENUE TO SERVE AND MAINTAIN ALL OF THE PARKS THAT YOU HAVE? ALL OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS. 
          SO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS GONNA BE VETTED WITH HOW ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR THAT, BOTH FROM THE TOWN'S PERSPECTIVE AND FROM THE TAXPAYER, RIGHT? WE ALWAYS WANT TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          HOW ARE YOU GONNA, HOW ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR IT? AND IT'S SIMILAR TO THE ANALOGY I I ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE IS JUST BUYING A CAR, RIGHT? IF I CAME TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU GUYS AND SAID, WHAT KIND OF CAR ARE YOU GONNA BUY, RIGHT? YOUR FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE, WELL, WHAT KIND OF CRITERIA ARE YOU GONNA GIMME? WHAT'S MY BUDGET? WHATEVER, RIGHT? BUT IF I CHANGED THAT AND SAY, OKAY, YOU'VE GOT THREE KIDS, YOU GOT $30,000 TO SPEND AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, THEN WHAT KIND OF CAR WOULD YOU BUY? YOU'D HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE WANNA DO WITH THIS PROCESS TOO, IS WHEN YOU PUT SOME CONSTRAINTS ON WHAT KIND OF RESOURCES DO YOU HAVE, OR AT LEAST WHAT KIND OF, WHAT ARE THE REVENUES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH DECISIONS? UM, IT'LL, IT'LL BE A LITTLE MORE FISCALLY INFORMED, UH, PROCESS. 
          I DO. 
          UM, I, I LIKE THAT ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY WAS BROUGHT UP AS WELL. 
          UM, WHAT I LEARNED FROM WORKING, UM, IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WAS YOU MIGHT INITIALLY LOOK ESPECIALLY WEST COAST AND SEE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES THAT THEY HAVE, BUT WHEN YOU STUDY THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE, A LOT OF THEM ARE DONE FOR THE MONEY. 
          THEY'RE DONE EITHER FROM THE RESIDENTIAL OR FROM THE BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE OF IT'S THE BEST THING TO DO FISCALLY TO PRESERVE, UM, ENHANCE, UH, PROTECT THOSE INVESTMENTS. 
          UM, AND THEN THE LAST THING IN THE INTRODUCTION PART IS VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES. 
          THAT SHARED VISION STATEMENT, THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES, THREE, FOUR, MAYBE FIVE THINGS THAT, THAT WE'RE GONNA SAY. 
          EVERYTHING IN THIS PROCESS, UM, IS GONNA BE GUIDED BY, WHETHER THAT'S FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY, IT COULD BE, UM, AESTHETICS OF DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER. 
          THERE COULD BE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE EXPLORE THERE. 
          THE SECOND MAIN PART OF THE PLAN IS, IS ORGANIZATIONAL COMPONENTS. 
          THIS IS REALLY THE TECHNICAL PART. 
          UM, THERE'S FOUR MAIN, UH, COMPONENTS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT. 
          LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER. 
          THIS IS WHERE YOUR FUTURE LAND, YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP WILL BE. 
          UH, WE'RE GONNA TALK LATER ABOUT PLACE TYPES AND WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT IT GETS INTO A COMBINATION OF LAND USE AND THE CHARACTER OF THAT SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, ADDISON, FOR AS SMALL AS YOU ARE, YOU HAVE A LOT OF DIVERSITY IN THE TYPES OF NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU HAVE, RIGHT? THE HOUSING, THE WAY THE STREETS LOOK, HOW PEOPLE MOVE AROUND, WHAT THE COMMERCIAL AROUND IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          UM, THAT'S WHAT PLACE TYPES ARE, IS WE WANT TO FIND THOSE DIFFERENT POCKETS. 
          AND HOW CAN YOU, UM, MAKE EACH OF THOSE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT IN ADDISON BETTER? HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG ONE THAT WE'LL DIG INTO. 
          UM, MOBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY. 
          HOW DO WE DIVERSIFY AND, AND EXPAND THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO MOVE AROUND ADDISON, AND HOW DO WE BETTER CONNECT INSIDE ADDISON? UM, AND THEN THE LAST PART IS KIND OF A, A CATCHALL, BUT WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT A LOT OF, UH, THINGS LIKE PARKS, FACILITIES, INFRASTRUCTURE, SOCIAL AMENITIES, UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PLACEMAKING, SUSTAINABILITY. 
          THOSE ARE GONNA BE THEMES THAT ARE WOVEN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE, UM, THE WHOLE DOCUMENT. 
          BUT THOSE FIRST THREE, LAND USE, DEVELOPMENT, CHARACTER HOUSING, AND CONNECTIVITY, THOSE ARE THE BIG THREE THAT WE'RE GONNA FOCUS THIS PROCESS ON. 
          UM, AND THEN THE LAST PART, UM, I WOULD ARGUE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. 
          UM, AND THAT'S THE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM THAT'S GETTING INTO WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, THE ACTING, UH, THE ACTIONS, THE TIMING, THE RESOURCES. 
          SOMEONE, I DON'T REMEMBER WHO IT WAS, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN, UM, BUT THE FLEXIBILITY, RIGHT? UM, SOME, SOME CITIES WILL SAY WE WANT A VERY, VERY SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN SO THAT THEIR PLANNING DEPARTMENT CAN JUST GO CHECK, CHECK, CHECK, CHECK, AND SIX MONTHS INTO THAT THING, IT'S GONNA BE ON THE SHELF BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS CHANGED, RIGHT? UM, OUR GOAL HERE IS TO KIND OF FIND THOSE GUARD GUARDRAIL, GUARDRAILS, DEF DEFINE KIND OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. 
          WHAT'S THE VISION? WHERE ARE YOU TRYING TO GO? WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF BOUNDS THAT ADDISON DEFINITELY DOES NOT WANT TO BE. 
          UM, AND THEN GIVE YOUR STAFF, UH, WHICH IS A GREAT, GREAT STAFF, 
          [00:35:01]
ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER MET AND, AND WORKED WITH, UM, GIVE THEM THE, THE AUTONOMY TO ACTUALLY FLEX. 
          SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE STILL GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT THEY'VE GOT FLEXIBILITY TO MEET THE MARKET WHERE IT IS AND WORK WITH PARTNERS TO, UM, TO GET THERE. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN? AWESOME TIMELINE. 
          UM, KEN MENTIONED 14 MONTHS. 
          THIS IS GONNA BE A BIT OF A JOURNEY. 
          WE'RE GONNA GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER PRETTY WELL OVER THE, THE COURSE OF THIS. 
          UM, SOMETIMES WE'LL ONLY HAVE ONE CPAC MEETING PER PHASE, YOU KNOW, SO WE, WE ONLY SEE FOLKS SOMETIMES ONCE EVERY THREE OR FOUR MONTHS, UM, WITH THIS ONE, UM, BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF ADDISON, BECAUSE OF, UM, FRANKLY, THE INTEREST FROM THE COMMUNITY AND REALLY WANTING TO DIG INTO THIS. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO UNPACK WITH YOU GUYS, AND IT'S, UM, IT'D BE GREAT IF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WAS AT EVERY SINGLE MEETING WE HAVE. 
          UM, DON'T EXPECT THAT TO BE THE, TO BE THE CASE. 
          BUT, UH, WE'VE GOT ROUGHLY ONE MEETING A MONTH WITH YOU ALL THROUGH THIS, THIS PROCESS. 
          WE'RE ALREADY IN PHASE TWO. 
          SO WE'VE DONE THE, THE PROJECT LAUNCH. 
          UM, WE'RE DOING SOME OF THAT DATA COLLECTION AND ASSESSMENT WORK RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, THE EXPLORE PHASE THREE REALLY KICKS OFF IN JANUARY. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE START TO DIG INTO THE VISIONING. 
          UM, SO YOU'LL SEE US AGAIN, AND I'M GONNA WALK THROUGH THIS A A LITTLE BIT LATER, BUT, UH, YOU'LL SEE US AGAIN MID-DECEMBER, WHERE WE'RE GONNA PRESENT KIND OF THE HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THE SURVEY THAT, UH, SURVEYS THAT WE'VE, WE'VE DONE. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA START TO SHIFT KIND OF THINKING, THINKING FORWARD. 
          SO, UM, JUST GENERALLY THROUGH THAT ASSESSMENT, UM, EXPLORE GETS INTO THAT VISIONING AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES. 
          THE ORGANIZED PHASE GETS INTO THE STRATEGIES. 
          SO ONCE WE KNOW THAT VISION, ONCE WE KNOW THOSE GUIDING PRINCIPLES, THEN WE'RE GONNA TALK, WHAT'S THE LAND USE STRATEGY, WHAT'S THE HOUSING STRATEGIES, UM, WHAT ARE THE MOBILITY STRATEGIES? AND THEN YOU KIND OF WRAP UP WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION. 
          KEN'S GONNA GIVE YOU GUYS THE, THE RULES THAT YOU HAVE TO PLAY BY . 
          THANK YOU, KEVIN. 
          UH, SO, UH, WITH 
          [2.  Consider, discuss, and act on the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) mission and ground rules. ]
A COMMITTEE LIKE THIS, UM, IT'S UNIQUE IN THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE, THE PROJECT WE HAVE, IT ISN'T A STAFF DRIVEN PROJECT. 
          UH, IT ISN'T A COMMITTEE DRIVEN PROJECT. 
          THIS IS A COMMUNITY VISIONING PROJECT. 
          SO WITH THAT, THIS COMMITTEE WILL HAVE ITS FINGERPRINTS AND FEEDBACK ALL OVER THE END PRODUCT THAT WE ARRIVE AT FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          BUT IT WON'T BE ONLY BASED ON THE COMMITTEE'S FEEDBACK. 
          IT WON'T ONLY BE BASED ON TECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY STAFF. 
          IT WON'T ONLY BE BASED ON WHAT WE HEAR AT COMMUNITY EVENTS AND THROUGH SURVEYS. 
          IT'S REALLY GONNA BE A BALANCE, UM, AND REALLY A SHARED CONSENSUS OF ALL THOSE ISSUES. 
          SO THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, THERE'S GOING TO BE MEETINGS WHERE WE PRESENT DATA TO HELP YOU, UH, MAKE, UH, AND BE MORE EFFECTIVE AND, AND, UH, HAVE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE, UH, AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK ON RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE MAKE. 
          AND THEN THERE WILL BE MANY INSTANCES THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS WHERE WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR DIRECT FEEDBACK, UH, ON SPECIFIC TECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE SHAPED BY FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND FROM THIS GROUP. 
          SO EVERYTHING THAT WE PRESENT TO YOU WILL NOT BE NECESSARILY AN ACTION ITEM, BUT THERE WILL BE MANY ACTION ITEMS FOR YOU THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT, PARTICULARLY AT KEY MILESTONES AND TRANSITION POINTS, AND ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THIS PROJECT. 
          UM, ALSO WITH THIS ROLE, IN ADDITION TO JUST ADVISING THE PROCESS, IT'S, UH, WITH THESE PROCESSES, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY IN ADDISON TO TALK ABOUT LONG RANGE PLANNING, IT'S STILL A DIFFICULT, UH, PROCESS TO GET PEOPLE TO BE ENGAGED IN, PARTICULARLY THOSE PEOPLE THAT DON'T TYPICALLY ENGAGE IN PROJECTS LIKE THIS. 
          SO, AS A COMMITTEE MEMBER AND SOMEONE WHO IS IN THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER THAT BE THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY OR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, WE DO ASK YOU TO, TO PROMOTE THE PLAN, UH, AS PART OF YOUR THIS ROLE AND TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS. 
          THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE WANT YOU TO TELL PEOPLE TO SUPPORT WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE. 
          WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE FEEL THAT THIS IS A PROCESS THAT IS OPEN AND, UH, IS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN AND HAVE THEIR FEEDBACK HEARD. 
          SO, UH, ANYTHING YOU CAN DO THAT'S, THAT CAN BE THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN SOME OF THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS OR INFORMAL STUFF. 
          JUST TALKING TO YOUR NEIGHBORS, TALKING TO FOLKS AT THE ATHLETIC CLUB, AT THE OFFICE, AND, AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT, UH, WE WANT THEIR VOICE TO BE HEARD AS WE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE TOWN. 
          SO, GROUND RULES IS, IS PROBABLY TOO STRICT OF A TERM, UH, FOR, 
          [00:40:01]
FOR WHAT WE WANNA FACILITATE HERE. 
          UM, WE DO WANT THIS TO BE A VERY OPEN AND DYNAMIC DIALOGUE, UH, WITH THIS GROUP. 
          UH, THIS IS A VERY BROAD TOPIC, UH, AND IN PLANNING, UH, PARTICULARLY LONG RANGE PLANNING, UH, WILL FREQUENTLY ARRIVE AT THE POINT THAT THERE'S NO, UH, BLACK AND WHITE SOLUTION TO ANY PLANNING ISSUES. 
          SO, UH, WHILE THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, IT DOESN'T NEC MEAN ONE PERSPECTIVE IS RIGHT, OR ONE PERSPECTIVE IS WRONG, IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          SO WE WANT THIS GROUP TO BE ABLE TO TALK VERY OPENLY AND BE DYNAMIC. 
          BUT WITH THAT, WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE A RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE. 
          AND THAT EXTENDS TO ME, OUR STAFF, THE CONSULTANT AS WELL. 
          UM, WE WANT PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM TO BE COMFORTABLE AND, AND TO HAVE, FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHARE THEIR AUTHENTIC FEELINGS ABOUT PARTICULAR ISSUES. 
          WE'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO AGREE ON ISSUES, AND THAT'S PERFECTLY OKAY. 
          THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE A DIALOGUE AND WORK THROUGH ISSUES AND SHARE OUR PERSPECTIVES, AND ULTIMATELY USE THAT DIALOGUE TO HELP US ARRIVE AT A SOLUTION THAT TRIES TO RESPECT AND BALANCE COMPETING PERSPECTIVES. 
          UM, ALSO, UH, WITH THIS, UH, PROCESS, UM, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT, UM, ONE, WE HAVE A, UH, A SCOPE OF WORK AND A PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, UH, BY CITY COUNCIL, AND THAT ULTIMATELY ARRIVES WITH BUDGETARY CONCERNS. 
          AND WE ALL ALSO HAVE OUR OWN RESOURCE. 
          AND, UH, OUR GREATEST RESOURCES ARE TIME. 
          SO, UH, WE NEED, UH, PARTICULARLY WITH STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT TEAM, BUT ALSO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO BE RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE'S TIME, UH, IN THESE MEETINGS AND BE RESPECTFUL OF THE PROCESS THAT COUNCIL LAID OUT. 
          THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T ASK STAFF, UH, TO ADDRESS TOPICS OR, OR TO, UM, UH, INCLUDE ITEMS THAT MAYBE WEREN'T ON THE INITIAL PLAN FOR DISCUSSION FOR A MEETING, OR FOR SOME PLANNING ELEMENT. 
          THAT'S PERFECTLY OKAY. 
          BUT THERE MAY BE TIMES, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THAT REQUEST AND THE DIRECTION THAT THE COMMITTEE'S GOING, WHERE THAT MAY BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH THE SCOPE. 
          AND SO, UH, STAFF WILL ADDRESS THAT. 
          BUT THE GOAL ISN'T TO REALLY TIGHTLY CONSTRAIN YOU AND THE DIALOGUE AND THE, THE DIRECTION OF THIS PROCESS. 
          'CAUSE I, I THINK AS SOME OF THE, THE, THE FOLKS MENTIONED IN THEIR, IN INTRODUCTION, THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE HAVE TO THINK BIG AND EXPLORE BIG IDEAS THAT YOU CAN'T NORMALLY DO EFFECTIVELY IN THINGS LIKE ZONING PROCESSES OR EVEN SMALL AREA STUDIES. 
          'CAUSE THOSE GET MORE GRANULAR. 
          SO THIS NEEDS TO BE AN OPEN PROCESS, BUT WE, UH, JUST NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER, UH, AND THE RESOURCES THAT THE TOWN HAS COMMITTED TO THIS PROCESS, THESE GROUND RULES WERE WRITTEN BY ME, BUT THEY'RE ULTIMATELY THE GROUND RULES OF EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM. 
          SO, UH, I'D BE, UH, OPEN TO ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE NOW, OR IF YOU HAVE FEEDBACK AFTER THE MEETING THAT YOU WANNA SHARE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE COMMITTEE AT A FUTURE MEETING, UH, DEFINITELY OPEN TO DOING THAT. 
          BUT, UH, NOW I'D, UH, OPEN, UH, ANY DIALOGUE TO THE COMMITTEE IF THEY'D LIKE TO ADDRESS ANY OF THE, THE, THE ROLE, UH, GUIDELINES OR THE GROUND RULES THAT I'VE LAID OUT HERE. 
          HI, KEN. 
          UH, GOT A QUESTION. 
          , I'VE, YEAH, I'VE GOTTA WORK ON THAT. 
          UH, WHEN IT SAYS BUSINESS NOT BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF MEETINGS, WHAT CONSTITUTES BUSINESS IS ME GETTING COFFEE WITH SOMEBODY HERE AND TALKING ABOUT, WOW, THAT WAS A CRAZY MEETING. 
          IS THAT BUSINESS? NO, THAT, THAT WOULD NOT BE BUSINESS. 
          BUT I WOULD SAY WORKING WITH, SOMETIMES THE COMMITTEE MAY FIND A NEED, OR THIS COMES UP IN PROJECTS LIKE THIS WHERE THERE MAY NEED TO BE A SUBCOMMITTEE WHERE A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE MEET TO ADDRESS A PARTICULAR TOPIC AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO THE LARGER COMMITTEE. 
          BUT IF THAT WAS DONE WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE LARGER COMMITTEE, I WOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF DOING BUSINESS OUTSIDE OF THIS STRUCTURE. 
          GOT IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT TOPIC? AND IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE AFTER THE MEETING, FEEL FREE TO SEND THAT ON TO, TO, OR GIVE US A CALL. 
          UM, HERE, JADE. 
          [3.  Consider, discuss, and act on the appointment of a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) Chair and Vice-Chair.]
SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, UH, IS TO CONSIDER APPOINTMENT OF A CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR THE, THE COMMITTEE. 
          UH, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FOR A PROJECT LIKE THIS, UH, SOMETIMES COMMUNITIES DO THIS, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. 
          UM, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR, PARTICULARLY FOR A COMMITTEE OF THIS SIZE, THAT IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO DO THAT. 
          UM, BUT, UH, STAFF 
          [00:45:01]
AND THE CONSULTANT ARE ALSO COMFORTABLE IF THE COMMITTEE DOES NOT WANT TO DO THAT. 
          BUT REALLY KEY THING HERE IS WE WANT TO DEFER THAT DECISION TO THE COMMITTEE AND HAVE Y'ALL SELF GOVERN. 
          UM, BUT, UH, WITH THAT, THE ROLES OF THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR WOULD, WOULD REALLY BE TO HELP US WORK THROUGH THE AGENDA AND LEAD THE MEETING AND, UH, HELP US FACILITATE THE DIALOGUE AMONGST THE COMMITTEE. 
          SO, UH, IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO WHETHER THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DESIRED FOR THE COMMITTEE AND OR VOLUNTEER FOR ANY OF THOSE ROLES, UH, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR UP TO THE COMMITTEE. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THAT NOT WORKING? YEAH. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          UH, LOOK, WHEN I, YEAH, I THINK YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT, KEN, ABOUT THIS. 
          THE SIZE OF THE GROUP AND THE, UH, UNIQUENESS OF WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH IS, IS COMPLICATED. 
          AND JUST FROM EXPERIENCE, UH, THERE WAS A BOND COMMITTEE, UH, MAYBE TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO THAT HAD KIND OF SIMILAR SIZE AND ISSUES. 
          AND, AND, UH, MY MEMORY IS THAT WE THOUGHT WE COULD, UH, DO WITHOUT A CHAIR AND WE QUICKLY REALIZED WE NEEDED TO HAVE SOMEBODY CHAIR THE GROUP. 
          SO I, I WOULD RECOMMEND, UH, TO, TO THIS COMMITTEE THAT WE DO HAVE SOMEBODY AND APPOINT SOMEBODY TO, TO HELP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER JOSEPH? UM, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD, OR MAYBE SUGGEST IS I THINK FOR ME, THERE'S A LOT OF NEW FACES, AND SO THE FIRST MEETING MAY NOT BE THE TIME THAT I WOULD, UH, PROPOSE THAT, BUT MAYBE A COUPLE MEETINGS IN AFTER WE GET TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT DYNAMICS, UM, WOULD BE, I GUESS MY SUGGESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK THAT'S SPOT ON. 
          IT'S TOUGH WITH 25 PEOPLE. 
          I MEAN, I, I'D SAY I KNOW A THIRD OF THE GROUP, BUT I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET TO KNOW THE OTHER TWO THIRDS BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER FEEDBACK ON THAT TOPIC? THE CONSENSUS I'M GETTING IS DEFER. 
          UM, IS THERE ANY PREFERENCE ON SECOND MEETING, THIRD MEETING? I'LL PUT IT AS A FOLLOW-UP ITEM FOR THE SECOND MEETING, AND IF WE NEED TO DEFER FURTHER, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          DOES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE? YOU GUYS CAN GO TO EACH OTHER'S CHRISTMAS PARTY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, JUST TO GIVE YOU 
          [4.  Review project scope of work and Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) meeting schedule. ]

          WHAT, UM, WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING, UM, TALKING ABOUT SO THAT YOU GUYS CAN KIND OF GET A, A BIG PICTURE OVERVIEW OF WHAT, WHAT EACH MEETING'S ABOUT AND WHAT'S GONNA BE ASKED OF, OF YOU ALL. 
          SO, UM, THE MEETING HERE TONIGHT, WE'RE JUST DOING THE INTRODUCTIONS. 
          WE'RE DOING THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN. 
          UM, THE MAIN ACTION FOR YOU ALL IS, IS WHEN WE LEAVE HERE, IS JUST TO DO WHAT YOU CAN TO PROMOTE THE PROJECT, RIGHT? UM, GET AS WE WANT TO GET AS MUCH, UH, INPUT ACTIVITY ON THE WEBSITE. 
          THE SURVEY TOO THAT JUST CAME OUT. 
          UM, PART OF YOUR ROLE HERE IS TO GIVE US FEEDBACK AND HAVE DISCUSSIONS IN THIS ROOM, BUT THEN WHEN YOU GO OUT, WHEN YOU GO OUT TO YOUR PEERS, TO YOUR COWORKERS, TO YOUR NEIGHBORS, UM, REALLY SHARING AND SPREADING THE, THE WORD ABOUT THE, THE PROJECT. 
          UM, IN DECEMBER, UM, IT'S GONNA BE MOSTLY, UH, US SHARING INFORMATION. 
          WE'RE GONNA SHARE THE, THE SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS, UM, SOME OF THE INITIAL SURVEY RESULTS THAT WE'VE HEARD. 
          UH, THE ACTIONS THAT WE'RE GONNA ASK FOR YOU IS JUST GIVE US FEEDBACK, UM, ON WHAT WE HEARD. 
          DOES, DOES THIS, DOES THIS INFORMATION SOUND LIKE ADDISON? DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE ADDISON? THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, RIGHT IN THAT TIME, WE'RE GONNA BE CLOSE TO CLOSING SURVEY TWO. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE, UM, LOOKING AT THAT JANUARY TRIP TO START TO START TALKING ABOUT VISIONING. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF SMALLER FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS, UH, DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE'RE GONNA GET INPUT ON THE, THE VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES. 
          SO WE'LL TALK MORE IN THAT, UM, THAT MEETING IN DECEMBER ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND, AND HOW, UH, WE COULD USE Y'ALL'S HELP, UH, TO GET PEOPLE, UM, GET PEOPLE LINED UP TO, TO CHAT WITH US IN JANUARY. 
          UM, AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT YEAR, UH, WE, WE LOOK, UM, INTO THAT EXPLORE PHASE, THE JANUARY MEETING, UM, SET FOR THE, THE EVENING OF JANUARY 25TH. 
          UM, VISION GUIDING PRINCIPLES DESIRED, UH, DESIRED OUTCOMES. 
          SO WHAT ARE THOSE, THOSE THEMES OF THE, THE VISION? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO PROTECT? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, ASPIRE FOR ADDISON TO BE? 
          [00:50:01]
UM, WE'VE GOT SOME ACTIVITIES THAT, THAT WE'LL WORK THROUGH, UH, WITH Y'ALL, THAT, THAT WILL REALLY BE THE FIRST ONE THAT'S KIND OF AN INTERACTIVE, UM, UH, KIND OF SESSION, UH, MEETING FOUR. 
          UM, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA COME BACK AND SAY, HERE'S WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE SURVEYS, FROM YOU ALL FROM CONVERS, MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF. 
          AND WE'LL START TO TRY TO FINALIZE LOCK IN THAT VISION STATEMENT AND THOSE GUIDING PRINCIPLES. 
          'CAUSE AGAIN, WE, WE WANT THAT TO ANCHOR EVERYTHING THAT WE DO THE REST OF THE WAY. 
          JUST LIKE IF WE'RE DOING A, YOU KNOW, A BUSINESS STRATEGIC PLAN OR LONG RANGE PLAN. 
          THERE'S SOME, THERE'S KIND OF THAT VISION AND THOSE, UH, THOSE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA KIND OF DIG DOWN INTO SOME SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF, OF HOW WE GET THERE. 
          HEY, KEVIN, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GONNA PROMOTE, I MEAN, I KNOW IN YOUR PREVIOUS STUFF YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NEWSLETTER, BUT EVERYBODY'S NOT DOING THAT AT, YOU KNOW, QR CODES AROUND TOWN. 
          LIKE, HOW ARE YOU GUYS GONNA GET MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT? WE DO, I THINK THIS ACTUALLY WRAPS UP TALKING ABOUT A COUPLE OF THE DIFFERENT ENGAGEMENT, UH, WAYS, BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT IT NOW. 
          SO THE WEBSITE'S THE MAIN THING, WHAT, WHAT I'VE MENTIONED AT EVERY MEETING SO FAR, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY GONNA BE THE, THE LOG OF THE WHOLE JOURNEY SO THAT ANYONE AT ANY TIME SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO THAT WEBSITE AND SEE HERE'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN, HERE'S WHERE WE'RE GOING, ALL OF THE, THE NOTES FOR MEETINGS, SOME OF THE, UM, THE DOCUMENTATION FROM DIFFERENT MEETINGS, PHOTOS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF WILL BE ON THE WEBSITE. 
          THERE'S A MONTHLY PROJECT, UM, EMAIL. 
          SO YOU CAN, THROUGH THE WEBSITE, YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR AN EMAIL LIST. 
          UM, THE FIRST EMAIL, THOSE JUST WENT OUT TODAY, EARLIER TODAY, BUT THAT'S A MONTHLY EMAIL THAT'LL COME OUT AND JUST SAY, HERE'S WHAT WE DID LAST MONTH. 
          HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN THE NEXT MONTH. 
          UM, ANYTIME THAT WE HAVE LIKE A SIGNIFICANT EVENT, LIKE A TRIP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THERE'LL BE A, OR A SURVEY THAT CLOSES, THERE'LL BE A SPECIFIC BLOG POST, UM, THAT ALSO GETS PUSHED OUT TO THAT EMAIL LIST THAT JUST SAYS, HERE'S THE RESULTS, HERE'S THE SUMMARY OF THE SURVEY. 
          HERE'S, UM, THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TRIP. 
          UM, THAT'S ALL THE ONLINE, UM, THE ONLINE STUFF. 
          WE'RE WORKING ON SOME H FRAME SIGNS WITH THE, THE SURVEY QR CODE THAT'LL BE PUT AROUND TOWN. 
          UM, AS WE GET A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE PROJECT, THEN WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY BE GOING INTO NEIGHBORHOODS AND INTO PLACES TO DO, TO MEET WITH BASICALLY BOOTS ON THE GROUND, RIGHT? WE WANNA MEET WITH FOLKS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, I LOVE, UH, I'M A, I'M A CIVIL ENGINEER BY DEGREE, AND I LOVE DOING WALK SHOPS IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE STREET DESIGN AND YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE PARKS AND THE CON UH, THE CONNECTIVITY. 
          YOU CAN GO LOOK AT A REALLY BUSY STREET AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE LANES? HOW DOES THAT IMPACT SLOWING CARS DOWN OR SPEEDING THEM UP? UM, SO A LOT OF, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROJECT, THERE'S A LOT GONNA BE A LOT OF KIND OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND ENGAGEMENT AT DIFFERENT, UM, AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. 
          UM, WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO, ALL OF THE SURVEYS, I KNOW JADE'S BEEN DISTRIBUTING PAPER COPIES, UM, HAS THOSE AVAILABLE FOR FOLKS. 
          UM, BUT YOU KNOW, IT, IT REALLY JUST COMES DOWN LIKE THERE'S, AND, AND THIS IS SOME OF WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MEETING TOO, BUT, UM, DIFFERENT FOLKS WANNA BE REACHED DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          UM, SOME OF 'EM ARE ONLINE AND SOME OF THEM DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO, TO DO WITH ONLINE. 
          SO, UH, BETWEEN OUR TEAM AND CIVIC BRAND, WE'VE, WE'VE GOT A PLAN FOR SOME DIFFERENT WAYS TO, UH, TO TRY TO REACH OUT TO FOLKS. 
          YOU'LL START SEEING, UH, TOWN STAFF, PARTICULARLY JADE, MYSELF, OTHER PLANNING STAFF. 
          THERE'S OBVIOUSLY KEY ACTIVITY AREAS, UH, ADDISON CIRCLE PARK BEING ONE ATHLETIC CLUB WHERE WE KNOW THERE'S GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE PEOPLE IN A MANNER THAT, UH, IS LESS FORMAL THAN COMING TO A MEETING LIKE THIS. 
          OR GOING TO A, A LARGER COMMUNITY MEETING MAY NOT BE AS COMFORTABLE. 
          SO, UH, JUST BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND HAVING MORE INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS IN A MORE RELAXED ENVIRONMENT IS GONNA BE A STRATEGY FOR US, PARTICULARLY FOR, IT'S HARD TO REACH PEOPLE THAT EITHER DON'T HAVE TIME OR HATE GOING TO COMMUNITY COFFEE TALKS, HAPPY HOURS. 
          WELL, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT WAYS TO, TO REACH FOLKS. 
          UM, CAN I ASK A QUESTION ON IT? YES, SIR. 
          SO YOU HAD THE COMMUNITY MEETING THE OTHER LAST WEEK. 
          UM, YOU'RE DOING THESE KIND OF POINT AND SHOOT COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS OFF THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 14 MONTHS. 
          WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN? AND THIS IS A CRITICISM I HAVE, BUT I HOPE IT DOESN'T COME OFF THAT WAY. 
          THINGS GO INTO A BLACK HOLE AND THEN THEY POP UP AT THE END. 
          WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO COMMUNICATE MORE STRUCTURALLY, FORMALLY TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH TOWN HALL MEETINGS, THROUGH LARGER FORUMS DURING THE, THE 14 MONTHS? YEAH, GREAT. 
          GREAT QUESTION. 
          UM, A COUPLE THINGS. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE MONTHLY REPORTS THAT, UM, NUMBER ONE WE'RE GONNA MEET, BE MEETING WITH YOU ALL ONCE, ONCE A MONTH. 
          THESE ARE RECORDED, SO THERE'LL BE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET THAT OUT TO FOLKS. 
          THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER WE'RE TRYING, WE WANT THAT TO TRY TO BE A WAY OF, OF HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING EACH MONTH. 
          UM, THE TOWN HALLS THAT, THAT KEN MENTIONED, UM, THE WEEKLY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT ADDISON'S GOT THAT I LOVE IS JUST THE FRIDAY EMAILS THAT GO OUT TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH THOSE FOLKS SO THERE'LL BE SMALLER, UM, YOU KNOW, SMALLER BITS OF INFORMATION THAT GO OUT THROUGH THAT. 
          [00:55:01]
UM, OUR GOAL IS NOT TO EVER, UM, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE, THE REASONS THAT WE DID WANNA, UM, PROPOSE MEETING WITH YOU ALL MORE REGULARLY, IS WE, WE DON'T WANT TO GO IN A BLACK HOLE AND SPIT IT OUT ON THE BACK END. 
          UM, WHEN WE DISAPPEAR AS A TEAM FOR, YOU KNOW, THREE OR FOUR MONTHS, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK. 
          UM, SO I THINK IT, IT IS, PART OF IT IS THE CHALLENGE, YOU KNOW, WITH YOU ALL TOO, TO KIND OF REPORT BACK, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU HEAR IN THIS MEETING WHERE WE'RE ARE, UM, AND GETTING THAT OUT TO, UM, TO YOUR FRIENDS AND, AND NETWORKS AS AS WELL. 
          I DON'T KNOW, KEN OR JADE, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO EXPAND ON THAT, BUT, UM, WE ALWAYS LEAN PRIMARILY ON, UM, THE WEBSITE AND THEN WHATEVER COMMUNICATION IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S A A, AN EMAIL THAT COMES OUT FROM THE STAFF, OR SOMETIMES IT CAN BE A, A MAILER THAT GOES IN WITH THE, THE MONTHLY UTILITY BILLS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT TRYING TO, THIS IS A, A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH PROJECT THAT THERE SHOULD BE, THERE SHOULD BE UPDATES HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE MONTH ON, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE ARE WE AT? AND DEFINITELY TRYING TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF ANY OF THE, THE BIG EVENTS SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO GET, UM, AS MUCH INPUT AND ENGAGEMENT AS WE CAN. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WHAT I'D ADD BEYOND THIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UH, WE, WE, MY DEPARTMENT ALSO SERVES THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL. 
          SO WE GIVING REGULAR UPDATES TO PARTIES AND AS A STANDING OFFER, UH, TO WHICH I, I HAVE ON ANY TOPIC, UH, THAT MY DEPARTMENT ADDRESSES, WE WILL MEET WITH ANY COMMUNITY GROUP NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WANTS TO MEET AND LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S WE'RE DOING AS A PART. 
          THAT OFFER IS ALWAYS THERE, BUT IF YOU ALL HAVE SUGGESTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, WE'RE VERY OPEN TO HERE. 
          DON'T THINK SOMETHING IS LANDING FROM A GOOD COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, UH, POINT OF VIEW, UH, DURING THE PROCESS. 
          DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE PROCESS TO TELL US EITHER. 
          HELP US ONCE AGAIN, Y'ALL ARE IN THE SOUNDING BOARD ROLE TOO, SO ANY FEEDBACK YOU CAN GIVE US TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY, WE WANNA HEAR THAT. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT THOUGH. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, I'LL KEEP GOING. 
          UM, SO WHEN WE GET INTO THE STRATEGY, UH, DEVELOPMENT, UH, PHASE, THIS GETS APRIL, MAY, THIS INTO JUNE, UM, WE'RE GONNA START TO BREAK DOWN SPECIFIC TOPICS A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          SO, UM, IN APRIL WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT LAND USE, PLACE TYPES AND HOUSING. 
          SO I, I MENTIONED PLACE TYPES EARLIER. 
          WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THOSE LOOK LIKE, UM, SOON. 
          UM, WE'LL PROBABLY I WANT TO TALK WITH KEN AND JAY, BUT WE'LL PROBABLY GET YOU GUYS SOME DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF HOW WE'VE APPROACHED THAT IN SOME OTHER PLACES SO YOU CAN GET SOME VISUALS OF HOW, UM, THOSE LOOK, UM, IN SOME OTHER PLACES. 
          UH, BUT JUST THAT OVERALL, YOU KNOW, LAND USE, LAND USE, MOBILITY, HOUSING, THOSE ARE ALL VERY CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER. 
          SO THE KIND OF HOUSING YOU BUILD KIND OF DRIVES THE KIND OF MOBILITY THAT YOU NEED. 
          THE KIND OF MOBILITY THAT YOU HAVE KIND OF DRIVES THE, THE HOUSING AND THE DEVELOP THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND IT. 
          SO WE KIND OF WANT TO INTRODUCE THAT LAND USE PLACE TYPE HOUSING CONVERSATION IN THAT FIRST MEETING. 
          UM, AGAIN, WE'LL PRESENT SOME STUFF, BUT WE WANT A LOT OF INTERACTION AND DIALOGUE ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, THE TRIP THREE I HAVE DOWN, DOWN THERE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT, UM, UH, MARCH 18TH, THAT KIND OF MID, MID-MARCH. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT A TRIP COMING IN WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE ALL THE, IT, IT'LL BE MORE OF THE KIND OF WHAT YOU THINK OF TYPICAL KIND OF PLANNING STUFF, THE MAPS AND WHERE PEOPLE ARE GIVING US KIND OF INPUT ON DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN THE, IN THE TOWN, DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. 
          SO THERE'LL BE A KIND OF AN IN INTRODUCTION TO PLA TO PLACE TYPES AND NEIGHBORHOODS IN MARCH, BUT WE'LL DIG INTO THAT WITH, WITH YOU GUYS IN APRIL, IN MAY. 
          WE'RE GONNA, UM, WE'LL STILL CONTINUE THAT PLACE TYPE CONVERSATION, BUT WE'RE GONNA INTRODUCE MORE OF THE MOBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY ELEMENTS OF THAT. 
          UM, AND THEN IN MAY WE COME BACK, THE END OF MAY, WE'RE GONNA COME BACK AND KIND OF REFINE ALL OF THE STRATEGIES ACROSS ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. 
          SO, UM, THAT KIND OF MID BETWEEN MID-MARCH AND THE END OF MAY IS GONNA BE A PRETTY INTENSE TIME WHEN WE START TO TALK ABOUT HOW, UM, WHERE, AND HOW WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH SOME OF THESE THINGS. 
          UM, AND THEN WHEN WE LOOK INTO JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, WE GET INTO PRIORITIZING IMPLEMENTATION. 
          SO, UM, THAT JUNE MEETING WILL BE BRAINSTORMING IMPLEMENTATION IDEAS. 
          THIS IS GONNA BE MORE OF A, JUST LISTENING TO YOU GUYS, ANY KIND OF IDEAS YOU HAVE ON ACTION ITEMS, IMPLEMENTATION IDEAS. 
          WE WANNA CAPTURE AS MANY OF THOSE THAT WE CAN, AS WE CAN. 
          UM, THEN WE COME BACK IN AUGUST. 
          WE, WE ORGANIZE EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM YOU, THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND WHEN WE TALK, START TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, PRIORITI, UM, PRIORITIZATION OF THOSE, UM, OR SORRY, IN JULY. 
          AND THEN IN AUGUST, WE'RE GONNA COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT THE, THE FULL DRAFT OF THE PLAN. 
          SO YOU'LL GET THE FULL DRAFT, UM, AT LEAST TWO. 
          IT'LL PROBABLY THREE, UM, THREE, MAYBE EVEN SOME OF IT, UM, FOUR WEEKS OUT. 
          BUT WE WANT TO GET, GET 
          [01:00:01]
THE DRAFT PLAN IN YOUR HANDS AS SOON AS WE CAN SO THAT YOU GUYS CAN DIG INTO IT THAT AUGUST MEETING. 
          WE WILL, UM, WE'LL KIND OF, I'LL, I'LL GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN, BUT THEN, UH, A LOT OF THAT WE JUST WANNA TAKE QUESTIONS FROM YOU ALL THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE IN THE DRAFT THAT REALLY JUMPS OUT THAT, THAT YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT. 
          UM, AND THEN OCTOBER, UH, NOVEMBER WE GET INTO ADOPTING. 
          SO, UM, IN OCTOBER YOU'LL BE ASKED TO, UH, REVIEW THE FINAL PLAN. 
          UM, WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN THAT MEETING NINE AND AUGUST AND MEETING 10 IS WE'LL GET THE FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL. 
          WE'LL GET THE FEEDBACK FROM STAFF, WE'LL DO AN UPDATED DRAFT. 
          THAT FULL DRAFT WILL GET POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AND SHARED PUBLICLY FOR COMMUNITY REVIEW AND COMMENT. 
          UM, WE'LL TAKE ALL OF THOSE COMMENTS AND THEN WE'LL ROLL THAT INTO A FINAL, FINAL DRAFT THAT GETS PRESENTED TO YOU ALL IN OCTOBER. 
          UM, THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE'LL ASK THE BIGGEST ACTION OF THIS COMMITTEE, WHERE WE'LL ASK YOU ALL, IF YOU DO GO THE CHAIR, VICE CHAIR ROUTE, UM, WE'LL ASK YOU TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNCIL. 
          UM, SOMETIMES THAT'S A UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. 
          SOMETIMES THAT'S A, A VOTE AND YOU HAVE DIFFERENT, UM, DIFFERENT FOLKS THAT SUPPORT IT. 
          SOMETIMES IT'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL WITH SOME REVISIONS OR, OR WITH SOME CERTAIN, UM, CONTINGENCIES ON THERE. 
          UM, WE'LL SEE WHERE, WE'LL SEE WHERE IT GOES. 
          BUT MY HOPE IS THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE CAN, UM, WE CAN CAPTURE AS MUCH INPUT FROM YOU ALL IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY. 
          I THINK KEN TOUCHED ON IT EARLIER, WE'RE, WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET CONSENSUS, RIGHT? WHEN YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING AS COMPLICATED AS, AS THIS, YOU'RE, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET EVERYBODY IN ADD IN ADDISON TO SAY, YEP, THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY. 
          UM, BUT OUR GOAL IS WE WANT EVERYBODY TO FEEL HEARD WHEN WE WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. 
          UH, SO THAT AT THE END, IF THERE'S A DECISION THAT ANYONE OF YOU OR ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T AGREE WITH, THEY AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW IT WAS MADE, RIGHT? UM, SO AGAIN, I, ANY, I, I WOULD SHARE WHAT KEN SAID, ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, THAT'S REALLY THE WHOLE POINT OF, OF THESE SLIDES IN THIS MEETING IS TRY TO GET OUT IN FRONT, GIVE YOU GUYS KIND OF THE FRAMEWORK OF HOW WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF. 
          UM, ASK US QUESTIONS, SHARE YOUR OPINIONS. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT THICK SKIN AND I MEAN, WE, WE WANT THE, THE CRITICISM, WE WANT THE, UH, WE WANT THE, THE FEEDBACK. 
          SO, UM, I ALREADY, I DID TALK ABOUT THIS. 
          SO HERE'S THE ENGAGEMENT STUFF. 
          ADVANCE ADDISON.COM IS THE WEBSITE. 
          IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, UM, GO CHECK THAT OUT. 
          AS WE WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS, UM, THERE WILL BE MORE TOOLS ADDED. 
          SO RIGHT NOW IT'S PRETTY BASIC. 
          UM, WHAT'S GONNA BE COMING SOON IS A MAPPING TOOL WHERE YOU CAN DROP A PIN ON THE MAP AND YOU CAN GIVE A COMMENT LIKE, THIS INTERSECTION STINKS, THIS SITE NEEDS TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE WITH IT. 
          THERE'S A DEAD TREE AT THIS PARK, WHATEVER, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. 
          IT'S KIND OF A GEOGRAPHIC COMMENT TOOL, SO YOU CAN STICK A PIN IN IT AND GIVE US FEEDBACK THAT WAY. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE ONE THING WE ADDED TO THE WEBSITE THIS WEEK FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO DO A REALLY DEEP DIVE AND, OR EVEN JUST SKIMM 'EM, OUR EXISTING LONG RANGE PLANNING POLICIES. 
          WE ADDED THE 2013 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ALL THE SPECIAL AREA STUDIES WE'VE DONE ALL OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND AMENITY, UH, MASTER PLANS, THEY'RE ALL, UH, ON THAT WEBSITE UNDER THE RESOURCES TAB. 
          SO DEFINITELY REVIEW THOSE. 
          IF, IF YOU FEEL IT WOULD, IT WOULD HELP YOU, UH, AT THE ONSET OF THIS PROCESS, WE WILL PROVIDE OUR OWN ANALYSIS OF THOSE DOCUMENTS TOO, AS WELL. 
          SO I MENTIONED, UH, THAT I AM A**L ENOUGH THAT I READ THE 2013 PLAN. 
          I DON'T EXPECT ANYBODY ELSE TO, IT'S ALMOST 400 PAGES LONG , BUT I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND STARTING A PAGE 3 31 TO PAGE 3 39 IS A SUMMARY. 
          AND IT'S A PRETTY EASY READ, AND I THINK IT'LL GIVE YOU A REALLY GOOD GROUNDING IN A LOT OF THE THINGS I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD, BUT I FOUND IT EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO ANCHOR ME IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE TOWN HAS BEEN LOOKING AT AND MAKING A PRIORITY. 
          SO I'D HIGHLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO READ IT BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING. 
          IT'S EIGHT PAGES. 
          IT'S DOABLE. 
          MY PLUG, DAVID'S RIGHT, I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH TOO. 
          IT HAS PHOTOS. 
          SO I MEAN, IT REALLY LETS YOU ALL REALLY SEE IT AS OPPOSED TO US ALL THINKING ABOUT WHAT THIS LIQUOR DISTRICT LOOKS LIKE OR THIS INTERSECTION. 
          YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT. 
          AND, AND AGAIN, IF YOU'RE MAPPING, WHICH IS GONNA BE CONSIDERABLY BETTER THAN WAS DONE IN 13 TODAY, I THINK WILL REALLY HELP THE GROUP. 
          THE OTHER ONE THAT I, I HOPE I DIDN'T OVERLOOK IT IF IT'S, IF IT'S NOT, BUT I THINK THE COMMITTEE WOULD BE REALLY IMPRESSED TOO, TO SEE, UH, SIMILAR CITIES OR MUNICIPALITIES THAT YOU'VE WORKED IN WITH PRIOR COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. 
          UH, YOU MAY WANT TO POST A COUPLE OF THOSE, UM, AS WELL, SO WE CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT A FINISHED DRAFT LOOKS LIKE, AND THAT'LL HELP GUIDE US AS WELL THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          YEAH, ONE, ONE THING THAT I, I LOVE ABOUT OUR TEAM, UM, MARSHALL HINES, YOU'LL, YOU'LL MEET HIM IN PERSON AT AT SOME POINT, BUT, UH, MARSHALL'S OUR CREATIVE DIRECTOR, AND HE WORKED BEFORE. 
          HE, HE JOINED US. 
          HE WORKED, UM, AS A GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS DESIGNER, DID, DID WORK FOR APPLE, MASTERCARD, 
          [01:05:01]
SOME OTHER FOLKS. 
          AND JUST AS A GUY THAT HAS A REALLY STRONG PASSION FOR URBAN DESIGN AND PLACEMAKING, HE SERVED ON HIS, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION IN LEANDER, TEXAS FOR A WHILE. 
          UM, AND SOMETHING HE SAYS ALL THE TIME IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS YOU'VE GOTTA BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THESE IDEAS TO A BROAD GROUP OF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU, I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE PLANS THAT, THAT WE'VE DONE THAT, THAT WE, UM, THAT WE'LL BE SHARING WITH YOU, AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, THERE'S, WE WANT, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S TRULY A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT'S TRULY A DOCUMENT THAT'S FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, IT SHOULD NOT BE WRITTEN FOR JUST PLANNERS OR ENGINEERS OR DEVELOPERS. 
          IT SHOULD BE WRITTEN FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO, A LOT OF PICTURES, A LOT OF THINGS TO ILLUSTRATE DIFFERENT CONCEPTS, DIFFERENT WAYS IS, UM, NOT JUST THE END DOCUMENT, BUT ALSO JUST PART OF THE OVERALL, THE PROCESS THAT WE, THAT WE GO THROUGH. 
          UM, SO THE MAPPING TOOL, UM, IS COMING, THE IDEAS WALL IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST COMMENT ABOUT IDEAS. 
          UM, YOU CAN GO IN AND YOU CAN CLICK ON THE IDEA AND YOU CAN LIKE IT, OR YOU CAN UPVOTE IT DOWN, VOTE IT, AND SO IT'S A, UM, YOU'LL SEE ONES THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE COMMUNITY REALLY RALLIES BEHIND AND YOU'LL SEE SOME THAT THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T LIKE. 
          UM, WE TRY REALLY HARD TO NOT EDIT THOSE TOO MUCH. 
          WE, WE WANT BACK TO, YOU KNOW, AUTHENTIC, UM, WE DON'T REALLY WANNA TOUCH WHAT PEOPLE SAY, FILTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY. 
          UM, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS THE DISCLAIMER WITH ANYTHING ONLINE. 
          UM, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S WAY OUT OF THE BOX, THEN, YOU KNOW, IT COULD, UH, IT COULD GET REMOVED. 
          BUT THE IDEA AS WELL IS A BIG ONE. 
          THERE'S ALSO A BUDGET TOOL WHERE WHEN WE GET KIND OF TOWARDS THE END, WE CAN SAY, HERE'S A HUNDRED BUCKS OR A THOUSAND BUCKS OR WHATEVER, HOW WOULD YOU ALLOCATE THIS MONEY ACROSS THESE FIVE DIFFERENT THINGS? UM, SO YOU CAN START TO SEE KIND OF WHERE PEOPLE THINK THE RESOURCES SHOULD BE, UM, INVESTED. 
          SO WE DO THAT INTENTIONALLY OF LIKE UNLOCKING DIFFERENT TOOLS ALONG THE WAY TO KIND OF KEEP THE, THE WEBSITE LIVE, KEEP IT GOING. 
          BUT THERE'S ALSO, THERE'S ALSO CER CERTAIN TOOLS THAT HELP US KIND OF ALONG THE WAY AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE, OF THE PROCESS. 
          UM, I MENTIONED THAT NEWSLETTER, IF YOU GUYS AREN'T, UH, IF YOU'RE NOT SIGNED UP ALREADY, UM, WE MAY MANUALLY GO IN THERE AND SIGN YOU UP. 
          I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEE THE, JUST THE COMMUNICATION THAT'S, THAT'S GOING OUT TO THE, THE REST OF THE FOLKS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THAT. 
          UM, AND WE ARE, WE JUST LAUNCHED, UM, SURVEY TOO. 
          SO THIS IS WHAT I WOULD WOULD SAY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SURVEY OF THE WHOLE PROCESS. 
          THIS IS A LONG ONE. 
          IT'S GONNA TAKE 20 TO 30 MINUTES TO GET THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. 
          UM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALL IN ONE SITTING. 
          AND THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD ASK YOU ALL AS YOU'RE OUT TALKING TO FOLKS, IF YOU GET FEEDBACK OF, HOLY SMOKES, I PULLED THAT SURVEY UP AND IT'S GONNA TAKE ME 30 MINUTES TO DO. 
          UM, THEY CAN DO IT OVER TIME. 
          YOU CAN SAVE YOUR PROGRESS, BUT IT IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE GONNA PUT, WE WANNA KEEP IT OPEN FOR A WHILE, AND WE WANNA PUT THE MOST ENERGY INTO TRYING TO GET AS MUCH INPUT FROM AS MANY DIFFERENT FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY AS WE CAN. 
          UM, SO IT'S GOT SOME HIGH LEVEL, UH, QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VISION AND THE VALUES, UH, BUT IT DOES ALSO DIG INTO SOME QUESTIONS. 
          THERE'S SEVERAL ABOUT HOUSING, THERE'S SEVERAL ABOUT MOBILITY CONNECTIVITY. 
          SO IT'S GONNA GIVE US A KIND OF THAT FIRST KIND OF DEEP DIVE INTO THESE, UH, THESE DIFFERENT TOPICS. 
          UM, AND FRANKLY, THE MORE, UH, THE MORE RESPONSES WE GET TO THAT, UM, THE EASIER YOUR JOB IS GONNA BE WHEN WE START TO GET INTO THE STRATEGY CONVERSATIONS. 
          'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE DATA POINTS TO NOT JUST THINK ABOUT YOUR PERSPECTIVE, BUT HOW THE OVERALL COMMUNITY THINKS ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE HOUSING OR TRAILS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE. 
          UM, THAT'S THE END OF WHAT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT. 
          THE LAST THING, IF, IF YOU WERE, UH, I MAKE ONE. 
          YES, SIR. 
          ONE ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE. 
          SO, UM, THE MEETING SCHEDULE THAT WE JUST REVIEWED, JADE IS GONNA SEND OUT OUTLOOK MEETING INVITES FOR Y'ALL TO, UH, RESERVE THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR. 
          THE PACKET ALSO HAS A, A SHEET THAT HAS ALL THE MEETINGS, ALL THE MEETING DATES, MEETINGS LISTED, THE MEETING. 
          UM, WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO THAT SCHEDULE UNLESS THERE IS A CIRCUMSTANCE FOR A PARTICULAR MEETING WHERE IT JUST DOESN'T WORK FOR A MAJORITY OF THE MEETING. 
          BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LARGE COMMITTEE AND COORDINATING 25 SCHEDULES, IT'S HARD. 
          BUT GIVEN THAT WE WE'RE PROVIDING A YEAR NOTICE, NOW MONTH'S NOTICE, UH, THAT IS THE SCHEDULE WE'RE GONNA STICK TO. 
          SO EVERYONE HAS A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF THAT SCHEDULE. 
          SO WE'LL SEND OUT INVITES TO YOU, UM, EITHER TOMORROW OR EARLY NEXT WEEK. 
          SO, UM, 
          [5.  Conduct a group exercise addressing current conditions in Addison. ]
THE, THE LAST THING TO DO, IF YOU CAME TO THE COMMUNITY MEETING, YOU SAW THAT WE HAD IT, WE'VE GOT A DRAWING WALL OUT THERE THAT'S JUST, UM, FOR FOLKS TO WRITE OR DRAW WHATEVER YOU WANT ON. 
          WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT ADDISON? IT'S, IT'S REALLY FUN TO DO THOSE WALLS JUST LATER, JUST TO KIND OF LOOK AT, I, I KNOW THE FIRST ONE THAT WE DID AT THE COMMUNITY MEETING, SOME OF THE STAFF ALREADY SAW IT. 
          AND, UM, IT'S, IT'S JUST A REALLY NEAT WAY FOR, FOR YOU GUYS TO KIND OF SHARE SOME IDEAS ON WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT THE, THE TOWN. 
          UM, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DROP SOMETHING ON THE WALL ON YOUR WAY OUT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ANSWER ON, ON THE WALL, THAT'S FINE TOO. 
          UM, BUT 
          [01:10:01]
BEFORE WE KIND OF WRAP THE, UM, WRAP THE MEANING UP, JUST ARE THERE ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, JUST BIG QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR, FOR ME ABOUT THE TEAM, THE PROCESS, ANYTHING YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT? HI, UM, I WANTED TO ASK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS BECAUSE YOUR COMPANY HAS ALREADY REVIEWED ADDISON. 
          I'M SURE YOU'VE, YOU KNOW, UNDERTAKEN SOME ANALYSIS. 
          YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH DEVELOPMENT PLANS OR WHATEVER'S ALREADY IN PLACE AND WHAT THE LIMITATIONS ARE. 
          UM, DO WE COME UP WITH ALL OF OUR IDEAS AND THEN YOU WILL GO THROUGH AND SAY, DOABLE, NOT DOABLE, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION HERE. 
          OR DO WE LOOK FOR YOUR GUIDANCE FIRST TO SAY, THESE ARE THE LIMITS ON WHAT WE CAN DO IN THIS AREA. 
          WORK WITH THAT AND, AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. 
          SURE, YEAH. 
          GREAT, GREAT QUESTION. 
          UM, AND THE ANSWER'S BOTH , BASED ON WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME TIMES AND, AND, AND ESPECIALLY NOW EARLY ON, WE'RE STILL PRIMARILY IN LISTEN MODE, RIGHT? UM, EVEN THOUGH I'VE LIVED AND WORKED HERE FOR A LONG TIME IN, IN THE METROPLEX AND AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH ADDISON, I DON'T LIVE HERE, I DON'T WORK IN ADDISON. 
          UM, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK HERE EVERY DAY ARE THE EXPERTS ON ADDISON. 
          SO WE CAN SHARE BEST PRACTICES, WE CAN SHARE PLACES WE'VE WORKED, UM, WE CAN SHARE THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY. 
          UM, WE CAN SHARE SOME OF THE RESULTS OF THE DATA ANALYSIS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE, WE REALLY, UM, WE'VE GOTTA APPROACH THIS WITH SOME HUMILITY AND JUST LISTEN TO YOU ALL AND HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AND WHAT YOU THINK. 
          UM, AS WE GET FURTHER IN THE PROCESS, YEAH, AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND SOME OF THE DATA ANALYSIS, WE'RE GONNA START TO SAY, OKAY, HERE'S, UM, HERE'S WHERE YOU ARE. 
          HERE'S SOME OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE, WHAT WE THINK. 
          UM, BUT WE'VE BEEN ASKED AND, AND ENCOURAGED TO TRY TO SKEW TOWARDS THE ASPIRATIONAL END OF THE SPECTRUM, RIGHT? THERE ARE SOME PLACES THAT WE WORK THAT WE GET HIRED SPECIFICALLY TO GO IN AND BASICALLY TELL THEM, YOU ARE BROKE  TO PRETEND, YOU KNOW, QUIT PRETENDING LIKE YOU HAVE RESOURCES TO DO THINGS THAT YOU DON'T QUIT PRETENDING TO BE SOMEBODY THAT YOU'RE NOT. 
          UM, THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE. 
          I THINK THE CASE HERE IS TO, TO REALLY KIND OF PUSH, UH, FOR SOME ASPIRATIONAL THINGS, BUT ALSO, UM, JUST KIND OF FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE ADDISON OF THE FUTURE? WHO, WHO ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE HERE FOR THE NEXT 20 OR 30 YEARS? AND IS THAT THE SAME GROUP THAT'S BEEN HERE IN THE PAST? UM, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE BLEND JUST THE, THE INTRO CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAD TONIGHT OF HOW DO YOU BLEND THE, THE PERSPECTIVES OF THE FOLKS THAT HAVE JUST GROWN UP IN ADDISON AND REALLY BEEN PART OF MAKING THE COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS WITH THE NEW PERSPECTIVES OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE JUST MOVED HERE, UM, RECENTLY, AND HOW DO YOU DO IT IN A WAY THAT'S GONNA DIFFERENTIATE YOU FROM OTHER PLACES AROUND HERE THAT SEVERAL OF YOU GUYS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED SOME OF THE PLACES THAT YOU'RE COMPETING WITH, RIGHT? UM, BUT I'LL JUST CLOSE IT. 
          JUST BE THE BEST VERSION. 
          FIGURE OUT WHO ADDISON IS AND BE THE BEST VERSION OF IT, AND YOU'LL, YOU'LL RETAIN AND, AND ATTRACT THE, THE RIGHT KIND OF FOLKS. 
          AND YOU GUYS HAVE WAY MORE TO WORK HERE WITH HERE THAN, THAN A LOT OF PLACES. 
          YEAH. 
          EXPAND ON THAT. 
          WITH OTHER CITIES AND TOWNS THAT YOU'VE CONSULTED FOR, HAS THERE BEEN A SIMILAR COMMITTEE SET UP THAT ALSO PROVIDED INPUT FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? YEAH, WE, WE ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE A, A COMMITTEE. 
          SOMETIMES IT CAN BE THE, THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, UM, OR A MIX OF COMMISSIONERS AND, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          UH, SOME, SOMETIMES IT'S MORE OF A COMMITTEE LIKE THIS. 
          IT'S A KIND OF A CROSS SECTION FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THAT WE'VE EVER WORKED WITH. 
          UM, I WILL SAY THAT. 
          SO, UM, USUALLY THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, EIGHT TO 15 PEOPLE. 
          UM, BUT A LOT OF TIMES YOU END UP, YOU HAVE MEETINGS AND NOT EVERYBODY COMES, AND SO YOU'RE TALKING WITH SIX TO 10 PEOPLE. 
          SO, UM, I THINK, I MEAN, I I, I THINK BETWEEN KEN AND JADE AND I, WE WERE, WE WERE TALKING, WE'RE, UM, WE'RE EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE BIGGER GROUP AND JUST HEARING THE INTROS TODAY AND THE PERSPECTIVE, IT'S, IT'S GONNA HELP US. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I GUESS BUILDING OFF THAT, UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR GUIDANCE ON, I MEAN, IT IS A BIG GROUP AND SO SOMETIMES THAT'S INTIMIDATION TO SPEAK UP. 
          SOMETIMES THAT'S, UH, A LOT OF OPINIONS WHERE WE CAN'T MOVE BEYOND TOPICS. 
          SO AT THESE MEETINGS, UM, ARE THERE WAYS THAT, I GUESS, SUGGESTIONS OF HOW WE PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON IN SUCH A LARGE GROUP? THAT'S ONE OF THE CONCERNS WITH THE LARGER GROUP, RIGHT? USUALLY WITH A SMALLER GROUP, WE'LL, WE'LL BE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT TRYING TO GET FEEDBACK FROM EVERYBODY, UM, IN THE ROOM. 
          AND I THINK EVEN WITH A BIGGER GROUP, THAT'S GONNA BE THE GOAL IS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR INPUT OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE SOME FOLKS THAT, THAT ARE VERY OPINIONATED OR VERY EXCITED ABOUT A CERTAIN TOPIC AND WANT TO KIND OF JUMP OUT THERE AND, AND GET IT. 
          BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE, UM, TRY TO GET FEEDBACK FROM AS MANY OF YOU ALL AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE ALSO, I THINK, UM, KEN AND HIS STAFF AND, AND OUR TEAM AS 
          [01:15:01]
WELL, IF YOU'RE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH SOME ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS OR THINK OF SOMETHING AFTER THE MEETING AND WANNA SHARE THAT, UH, WE WANT THAT FEEDBACK AS WELL. 
          BUT I DO THINK, UM, YOU KIND OF HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS, BECAUSE WE REALLY DO WANT, I MEAN, THE GOAL AT THE END OF THIS IS EVERYBODY IN HERE SHARING YOUR PERSPECTIVES, YOUR EXPERIENCE. 
          AND SO THE, THE LEVEL OF WHAT I'LL CALL THE CIVIC IQ, UM, OF YOU GUYS, WHAT A COMP PLAN IS AND HOW IT MATTERS. 
          SOME OF YOU ARE ALREADY UP HERE AND SOME OF YOU'RE BRAND NEW TO IT, RIGHT? WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THIS, WE WANT, WE WANT EVERYBODY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, TO, TO BE PRETTY SIMILAR AND, UM, TO KIND OF SHARE AND APPRECIATE THOSE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF THAT CHALLENGE IS ON US TO FACILITATE AND TRY TO GET, YOU KNOW, EQUAL INPUT. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE GET TWO OR THREE MEETINGS IN AND WE'RE HEARING FROM THE SAME FOUR PEOPLE OVER AND OVER, THAT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM. 
          SO WE'LL, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO TRY TO FACILITATE AND, AND EVEN TAP INTO SOME OF THE, THE QUIET FOLKS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          , OH, PUSH THE WRONG ONE. 
          IT OCCURS TO ME FOLLOWING UP WITH THAT QUESTION. 
          I'VE NEVER WORKED IN SUCH A LARGE COMMITTEE AND MOST COMMITTEE WORK AND BOARD WORK I'VE DONE HAS, HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH RESTRICTED TO SEVEN OR EIGHT MEMBERS. 
          AND, AND, AND EIGHT SEEMS TO BE AN IDEAL NUMBER. 
          UH, AND SO IT OCCURS TO ME THAT WOULDN'T IT BE NEAT IF WE COULD BREAK DOWN INTO APPROPRIATE TIMES TO THREE SMALLER DISCUSSION GROUPS, AND THEN FROM EACH OF THESE DISCUSSION GROUPS, PULL TOGETHER THE CONSENSUS THAT'S COMING OUT OF EACH OF THE THREE GROUPS. 
          SO WE END UP WITH A, A POOLED RESOURCE OF EVERYBODY OF THE CONSTITUENCY. 
          UH, SECOND COMMENT THAT I HAVE, WHEN I WAS ON P AND Z, UH, WE CONDUCTED A COUPLE OF FIELD TRIPS AND, UH, UH, I REMEMBER ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT WAS USEFUL WAS WE COVERED THE ENTIRE FOOTPRINT, THIS ODD FOOTPRINT THAT WE AND ADDISON HAVE WITH COMMENTARY FROM APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT HEADS AS WE TOURED IT. 
          SO IT WAS A GUIDED TOUR AND, AND, AND BEING A VISUAL GUY, IT MEANT A LOT TO ME TO, UH, TO HAVE COVERED THE WHOLE TOWN. 
          AND I DOUBT THAT TOO MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS GROUP HAVE BEEN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TOWN, . 
          YEAH, I'VE KNOWN GREAT SUGGESTION. 
          THAT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT, THAT THE STAFF TOOK US, OUR TEAM ON A, ON A TOUR. 
          UM, GOOD. 
          I THINK IT WAS FROM LIKE NINE TO ONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT WE, I THINK WE SAW PRETTY MUCH EVERY, EVERY CORNER OF, OF ADDISON, THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT SITES TO REDEVELOP, WE TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT. 
          UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT IDEA TO GIVE YOU YOU GUYS PERSPECTIVE OF, AND MAYBE NOT QUITE YET, MAYBE A MONTH OR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER INTO IT. 
          SO WHEN YOU SEE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU CAN START TO SAY, OH, OKAY, THAT'S THAT KIND OF PLACE TYPE, OR THAT'S THAT KIND OF PLACE TYPE. 
          UM, SO WE'LL, WE CAN, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT I, THAT SCENE, YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY WILL GIVE YOU PERSPECTIVE WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEBODY THAT'S, AND, AND, AND ONE SIDE BENEFIT OF THAT IS THAT YOU DEVELOP A CONGENIALITY AMONG THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GROUP. 
          AND SO IF IT'S DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY, IT COULD BE A LOT OF FUN TOO. 
          SO IF I COULD JUMP IN, I AGREE WITH AL. 
          I THINK, UH, I THINK A TOUR, I DON'T KNOW THAT ADDISON HAS ANY CORNERS. 
          UM, SOMEBODY DREW, UH, A PAINTING FOR LYNN SPROUL WHEN SHE LEFT OFFICE, AND IT WAS A BIRD ON A WIRE. 
          AND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE OF THE CONTOURS OF ADDISON. 
          IT'S, IT'S WILD. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY OF US COULD NAME ALL OF THEM. 
          SO I AGREE AND I AGREE THAT DOWN THE LINE, A FEW MONTHS, MAYBE FROM NOW, THAT TYPE OF THING WOULD, WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, TO YOUR POINT ABOUT A LARGE GROUP, I MEAN, WE'VE HAD GROUPS OF, I THINK THE BOND COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN, UH, PROBABLY 14, PERHAPS MORE. 
          AND, UM, SO I THINK IT'S, I THINK IT'S GONNA WORK OUT. 
          I THINK, UH, EVERYBODY'S PRETTY RESPECTFUL IN THESE SITUATIONS. 
          I THINK THE POINT OF HAVING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND HAVING SUCH A LARGE COMMITTEE IS PRECISELY TO GET THAT MANY MORE PERSPECTIVES. 
          UM, I THINK THE PRO THE, THE PROCESS HAS TO BE MANAGED WELL FOR THAT TO WORK. 
          BUT I HOPE EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM WILL FEEL, UM, COMFORTABLE GIVING THEIR OPINIONS BECAUSE I CERTAINLY WANT TO HEAR THEM. 
          UH, I'LL BENEFIT FROM WHAT EVERYTHING, EVERYONE HAS TO SAY. 
          I'VE NEVER BEEN ON THESE, ANY ONE OF THESE COMMITTEES AND I'VE BEEN ON A LOT OF THEM BOND COMMITTEES AND CHARTER REVIEW, THE 26, I THINK, CHARTER AMENDMENTS THAT YOU HAD TO VOTE FOR IF YOU VOTED, WE DID THAT. 
          THANK YOU FOR VOTING FOR ALL OF 'EM. 
          UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A RESPECTFUL PROCESS. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S THE ADDISON WAY. 
          AND SO 
          [01:20:01]
I THINK WE CAN MANAGE IT, MAYBE BREAKING OFF INTO DISCUSSION GROUPS, SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED TO ME, LITTLE WORK SESSIONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT MAY WORK. 
          BUT I WANNA HEAR FROM EVERYBODY AND I'M COMMITTED TO THE PROCESS. 
          IT'S WHY I'M HERE. 
          UM, I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. 
          YOU KNOW, I, I VOTED FOR ADDISON CIRCLE, YOU KNOW, I, I WAS PART OF THE, UM, COUNCIL THAT VOTED, YOU KNOW, FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF PUBLIC MONEY TO DO WHAT YOU SEE AROUND US. 
          AND I DIDN'T SLEEP THAT NIGHT HOPING I'D DONE THE RIGHT THING. 
          AND, UM, SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT ADDISON. 
          I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROCESS AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT EVERYONE IN THE ROOM GIVING THEIR OPINIONS. 
          'CAUSE I WANT TO HEAR 'EM ALL. 
          SO I THINK IT'LL BE OKAY. 
          WE'LL ALL BE FRIENDS. 
           WE'LL, WE'LL DEFINITELY SET UP A TOUR FRAMEWORK FOR US TO DO ON THE FRONT END OF THE PROCESS. 
          PROBABLY LET EVERYONE GET THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS, BUT I THINK AFTER THE NEW YEAR, THAT'LL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. 
          I HAVE A BURGEONING SECOND CAREER AS AN ADDISON TOUR GUIDE. 
          SO , I JUST GAVE ONE TO DART LEADERSHIP TODAY, SO I SPENT THREE HOURS TOURING ADDISON, UH, TODAY I DID IT, UH, A MONTH AGO. 
          SO, UH, I CAN GIVE A GREAT TOUR. 
          SO HAPPY TO DO THAT. 
          AND, UH, I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT WITH YOU. 
          ANY MORE COMMENTS? GO STARS. 
          I WAS BORN IN ST. 
          LOUIS, SO I'M ACTUALLY WAITING. 
          I GET ARE THE RANGERS, ARE THE RANGERS PLAYING TONIGHT? NO'S THE RANGERS CAME TONIGHT. 
          I THOUGHT A GAME OR RANGERS WAS IT TO HAVE THE, THE MAVS AND THE STARS AND THE RANGERS ALL WIN THE OTHER NIGHT. 
          THAT WAS PRETTY COOL. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO, TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS. 
          WE'LL STICK AROUND IF YOU GUYS WANNA CHAT. 
          ONE-ON-ONE FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UM, YEAH, ON YOUR WAY OUT, IF YOU WANNA TAKE A FEW MINUTES, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT THE TOWN. 
          THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, AND WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN IN A MONTH. 
          THANK Y'ALL. 
          DO WE NEED TO OFFICIALLY CLOSE THE MEETING? ONE LAST ITEM. 
          SORRY I WAS A BAD COLLEAGUE. 
          I DID NOT INTRODUCE SEVERAL OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE GONNA BE WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          JANET TIDWELL, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR, WAYNE EMERSON, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          ASHLEY SCHROER, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER HERE. 
          WHEN WE GET INTO THEIR POLICY AREAS, THEY WILL BE VERY ENGAGED IN THE DIALOGUE WITH US. 
          SORRY GUYS.
