Oct 03, 2022 City Council Regular Meeting

[00:00:02]

I'M GOING TO OPEN THE SESSION UP AT 4:00.

[ 1.CALL TO ORDER]

IF EVERYBODY WOULD RISE AND REMAIN STANDING AFTER THE INVOCATION FOR OUR PLEDGES.

LET US PRAY. LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE, YOUR MERCY AND ALL THAT YOU'VE OFFERED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.

LORD, WE WANT TO LIFT UP THIS COUNCIL, THESE HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN THAT ARE OUT HERE TO MAKE THIS CITY A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO LIVE.

WE LOVE YOU.

AND WE WANT TO GIVE SPECIAL BLESSINGS TO ALL OF THE THE SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN OF OUR COUNTRY.

LORD. AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

AND IT'S IN CHRIST NAME, WE PRAY.

AMEN.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 2 REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS 2A IS TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND GIVE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE JAYELLEN AND WINTER CREST SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

THE STAFF PRESENTER TODAY IS ERRICK THOMPSON, PUBLIC WORKS DEPUTY DIRECTOR.

I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE HIS FIRST TIME PRESENTING IN FRONT OF US.

SO WELCOME, MR. THOMPSON. I JUST WANT TO DO A QUICK INTRODUCTION TO ERRICK THOMPSON.

HE JOINED THE CITY HERE RECENTLY.

HE'S THE NEW DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

HE OVERSEES OUR CAPITAL ENGINEERING GROUP, OUR DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING GROUP, OUR ENGINEERING INSPECTORS, AS WELL OF OUR STREETS AND DRAINAGE DIVISION.

HE COMES TO US WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN ENGINEERING FACILITIES, MAINTENANCE, FLEET MAINTENANCE, AND MOST RECENTLY WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS. SO HE HAS EXPERIENCE.

HE'S GOT A BACHELOR'S DEGREE AND MASTER'S DEGREE IN ENGINEERING FROM FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY AND VIRGINIA TECH, AND HE'S A LICENSED PE BOTH IN TEXAS AND IN VIRGINIA. SO PLEASE WELCOME HIM.

HE'LL BE PRESENTING TODAY.

TAKE IT EASY ON HIM. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU AND GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ONE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS UNDERWAY.

JAYELLEN AND WINTERCREST AS YOU MAY RECALL, HAS HAD COUNCIL DISCUSSION A COUPLE OF TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND AS RECENTLY AS MARCH OF THIS YEAR, THE COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO DEVELOP A SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ALONG THESE TWO STREETS OF JAYELLEN AND WINTERCREST.

THAT PROJECT WAS LATER FUNDED AS PART OF THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN THE BOND ELECTION THAT THE BURLESON VOTERS APPROVED IN MAY.

AND OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE ABOUT 1.2 MILLION DOLLARS, OVER 1.2 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WILL BE INVESTED IN SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

OK DESIGN FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT BEGAN IN MAY AND INVOLVES CONSTRUCTING A FIVE FOOT FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG ONE SIDE OF BOTH JAYELLEN AND WINTERCREST BETWEEN SUNNYBROOK DRIVE AND HILLSIDE DRIVE.

IN THE VICINITY OF THE STEAM MIDDLE SCHOOL.

SO THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF THE 22 UPDATE OF THE MOBILITY PLAN THAT'S ENHANCING WALKABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IMPROVING CONNECTIONS TO DESTINATIONS SUCH AS SCHOOLS.

THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN DOES INDICATE THAT ABOUT 39 PROPERTIES OR DRIVEWAYS WILL NEED TO BE PARTIALLY REBUILT AS PART OF THE PROJECT.

AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN.

WE'VE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS AND DEVELOPED INITIAL SOLUTIONS.

THOSE INCLUDE MAINLY TREES AND UTILITIES ALONG THE PROJECT LIMITS.

AS ENVISIONED WE'VE WORKED AROUND MOST OF THOSE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ONLY POTENTIALLY IMPACT TWO TREES THAT MIGHT HAVE TO BE REMOVED AN TWO SHRUBS.

THAT WILL BE SOME VERY MINOR UTILITY ADJUSTMENTS, BUT NO MAJOR RELOCATIONS.

ALL OF THE SIDEWALK WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY AND WE'LL COORDINATE WITH ABOUT 39 OR UP TO 39 PROPERTY OWNERS FOR A DRIVEWAY

[00:05:03]

AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE, YOU'VE GOT PICTURES OF TWO TREES THAT WE THINK WILL NEED TO BE RELOCATED OR REMOVED.

THE NEXT SLIDE, SLIDE 5 GIVES YOU A PRELIMINARY TYPICAL SECTION OF ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, AND ALSO THE FOLLOWING SLIDE WILL GIVE ANOTHER SAME INFORMATION, BUT IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE EASY TO FOLLOW.

THIS SLIDE HAS A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXAMPLE OF JUST ONE OF THE DRIVEWAYS ALONG THE PROJECT.

THAT RED DASH LINE KIND OF GIVES AN IDEA OF THE LIMITS OF HOW FAR UP THE DRIVEWAY WE MIGHT NEED TO RECONSTRUCT IN ORDER TO TIE EVERYTHING BACK IN TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING ADA GUIDELINES FOR BOTH THE SIDEWALKS AND ANY RELATED CONSTRUCTION THAT WE NEED TO DO.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYTHING THAT WE'RE BUILDING MEETS ALL ADA AND OTHER CODES AND STANDARDS.

THE FOLLOWING SLIDE GIVES YOU KIND OF AN AERIAL VIEW, AND THE INTENT IS REALLY JUST TO SHOW THAT EVERY DRIVEWAY IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF HOW FAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY WE NEED TO RECONSTRUCT TO TIE THE GRADES IN.

BUT IN GENERAL, WE ANTICIPATE 20 FEET OR LESS FOR EACH PROPERTY.

LOOKING AHEAD AGAIN, I MENTIONED WE HAVE OVER 1.2 MILLION IN SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT FUNDING IN THE BOND PROGRAM.

SO THIS SLIDE IS REALLY JUST A WAY TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE WE'LL HAVE SIMILAR CHALLENGES ON OTHER SIDEWALK PROJECTS TO COME, BUT THE STAFF IS COMMITTED TO WORKING THROUGH THOSE TO THE EXTENT WE CAN.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE UTILITIES TO DEAL WITH PARKING IMPACTS, SLOPES.

THE PICTURE ON THIS SLIDE IS FROM SUMMERCREST AND CEDAR RIDGE NEAR FRAZIER ELEMENTARY.

I THINK THERE'S BEEN FULL ATTENTION TO THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION AS FAR AS PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC LATELY.

IF YOU NOTICE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF CEDAR RIDGE, THE HOME IS PROBABLY 4 TO 5 FEET HIGHER THAN THE STREET.

SO WE COULD POTENTIALLY GET INTO RETAINING WALLS IF WE WERE TO PUT A SIDEWALK ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET.

TO THE RIGHT SIDE, WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT AS CLEARLY, BUT THE DRIVEWAYS ARE NOT VERY LONG.

SO IF THERE ARE TWO CARS THAT PARK IN THAT HOUSE, CHANCES ARE ONE IS PROBABLY PARKING OVER WHERE A SIDEWALK COULD GO.

SO THAT'S JUST ANOTHER SERIES OF PROPERTY OWNER ISSUES WE'D HAVE TO WORK THROUGH.

SO JUST EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT WE MAY COME BACK AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT LATER.

THIS SLIDE IS REALLY JUST GIVING YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE FIVE YEARS OF FUNDING.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE TYPO.

TO THE FAR RIGHT. FY 27 SHOULD BE THAT FINAL COLUMN 170,000 JAYELLEN AND WINTERCREST IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED AT ABOUT 439,000, AND THE CURRENT FUNDING AVAILABLE IS JUST OVER 445.

SO WE'RE RIGHT UNDER WHERE THE BUDGET IS FOR THE PROJECT.

THE FUTURE YEARS OF THE BOND PROJECTS WOULD LIKELY BE SMALLER GAPS OF SIDEWALKS BEING FILLED IN OR DAMAGED SECTIONS BEING REPLACED.

TODAY OUR NEXT STEPS FROM TODAY ARE TO VERY IMPORTANTLY, RECEIVE YOUR FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH THIS PROJECT AND THEN ENGAGING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THOSE DRIVEWAYS THAT MAY NEED TO BE PARTIALLY REBUILT.

DESIGN SHOULD WRAP UP VERY EARLY NEXT YEAR AND WE'D BE SOLICITING CONSTRUCTION BIDS IN THE SPRING AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THE PROJECT UNDERWAY OVER THE SUMMER AND WRAPPING UP BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR.

AND WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

ANYBODY? THE REASON THIS PROJECT CAME TO THE SURFACE WAS BECAUSE THE COUNCIL HAD DECIDED TO MAKE MCNAIRN ROAD AN ALLEY, AND THEREBY DISPLACED TRAFFIC THAT WAS GOING TO THE STEAM SCHOOL, TO THE PARALLEL STREETS, JAYELLEN AND WINTERCREST RATHER THAN USING MCNAIRN.

BUT SINCE THEN, THE COUNCIL HAS REVERSED ITS DECISION AND RESTORED MCNAIRN TO ITS PRIOR STATUS AS A ROADWAY.

[00:10:04]

SO I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS PROJECT AS BEING A CLEAN SLATE AS TO WHY WE'RE DOING THIS PROJECT AS OPPOSED TO DOING ANY OTHER STRETCH OF SIDEWALK IN ANY OTHER PART OF TOWN, AND WHY WE'RE WILLING TO SPEND $440,000 ON IT.

IF WE DID DO ANY AND HONESTLY, I FEEL LIKE I'M DOING THAT IN A VACUUM OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHY THIS PARTICULAR STRETCH OF SIDEWALK IS IMPORTANT TO STEAM ELEMENTARY.

DO WE KNOW THAT A LARGE COMPONENT OF THE STUDENTS ACTUALLY WALK UP AND DOWN EITHER THESE PARALLEL STREETS TO GET TO THE SCHOOL BEING THAT IT'S A STEAM ACADEMY AND IT DRAWS FROM ALL ACROSS THE DISTRICT, I'M ASSUMING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE KIDS ARE PARENTAL DROP OFF.

BUT I COULD BE WRONG AND I HAVE NO DATA TO BASE ANY DECISION ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR STREET.

SO I'M BACK TO SAYING WHY THESE TWO STRETCHES OF SIDEWALK AND NOT OTHER PLACES? I MEAN, THERE'S STILL A GOSH DARN SIDEWALK THAT I'VE TRIED TO GET BUILT TO CONNECT BURLESON HIGH SCHOOL ACROSS WILSHIRE IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION AND DOWN INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG ARNOLD AVENUE.

AND THERE WERE A LOT OF STUDENTS COME FROM AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE THAT DONE.

I DON'T KNOW THE REASON WHY WE DON'T HAVE IT DONE NOW.

I'M SURE THERE IS ONE BECAUSE I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS WE WANT IT.

BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT THIS PROJECT, BASED ON WHAT I'M HEARING, UNLESS THERE'S INFORMATION I DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, REALLY WARRANTS THIS EXPENSE AT THIS TIME, AND I'M WILLING TO LISTEN TO ANYBODY ELSE'S OPINION.

BUT THAT'S MINE AT THE MOMENT, AND I'M VERY FLEXIBLE ON IT.

SO. I SHARED SIMILAR CONCERNS WITH BRYAN EARLIER TODAY.

YOU KNOW, I WAS KIND OF THINKING BACK THROUGH AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS SEPARATE AND ALONE SINCE WE'VE TRANSITIONED MCNAIRN AND BACK FROM AN ALLEYWAY TO A ROADWAY. AND I WONDERED, TOO, I KNOW WE PRIORITIZE SCHOOL AREAS.

WE WANT THE SCHOOL, THE AREAS AROUND SCHOOLS, AN THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND SCHOOLS TO HAVE SAFE WAYS FOR CHILDREN TO WALK TO AND FROM.

BUT I TOO THINK ABOUT THIS BEING A HEAVY COMMUTER SCHOOL.

BUT HOW DO WE DETERMINE, LIKE WHEN A CAMPUS IS WHEN AN AREA IS MORE WALKABLE, HAS MORE WALKERS THAN ANOTHER AREA? BECAUSE THERE'S DEFINITELY AREAS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHERE SCHOOLS EXIST THAT HAVE BEEN ON OUR LIST FOR A WHILE AND WE HAVEN'T PUT SIDEWALKS IN YET.

SO WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY.

I KNOW YOU'RE GETTING YOUR FEET WET AND GETTING ADJUSTED TO THE STREETS AND WHO'S WALKING WHERE, BUT I JUST DON'T SEE AS MANY STUDENTS. I GO THIS ROUTE THREE TIMES A WEEK.

I DRIVE LINDA AND SO I SEE THE KIDS GETTING OUT ON HILLSIDE AND I SEE LOTS OF CAR TRAFFIC.

I HONESTLY SEE MORE WALKERS COMING FROM BHS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE CAMPUS WAITING TO BE PICKED UP ON HILLSIDE.

THEN I HONESTLY SEE WALKERS FROM STEAM.

AND ANOTHER POINT I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WELL, AND IF WE ARE GOING TO PUT SIDEWALKS THERE, IS WINTERCREST MORE VALUABLE FOR SIDEWALK THAN JILL ANN? AND I JUST I AGREE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I JUST DON'T KNOW.

LIKE, I KNOW WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ROAD PROJECTS, WE PUT OUT STRIPS AND WE COUNT THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT GO OVER IT.

BUT HOW DO WE COUNT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WALKING ON WHAT SIDEWALKS AND HOW CAN WE PRIORITIZE THEM THE BEST WE CAN? THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND THE FEEDBACK.

I MADE SOME PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS OF THIS LOCATION A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK AND BOTH IN THE MORNING AND IN THE AFTERNOON.

I SAW STUDENTS WALKING.

NOT A LARGE NUMBER, BUT I DID SEE SOME STUDENTS WALKING BECAUSE IT IS A CHOICE SCHOOL, I WOULD IMAGINE.

WE DON'T HAVE REALLY A GOOD IDEA OF WHO MIGHT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ATTEND THE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER.

ONE OF THE FOCUSES OF THE MOBILITY PLAN IS TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONS TO SCHOOLS AND EMPLOYMENT CENTERS AND OTHER TYPES OF LOCATIONS.

SO HAVING SIDEWALKS IN THE VICINITY OF THE SCHOOL WOULD BE A PRIORITY IN THAT PLAN AS IT'S CURRENTLY ENVISIONED.

YOU SHOULD SEE THAT MOBILITY PLAN UPDATE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, 2 TO 3 MONTHS FOR POTENTIAL ADOPTION.

BUT THESE TWO STREETS IN THE VICINITY OF MCNAIRN ARE TWO THAT ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS.

MCNAIRN, AS YOU'RE AWARE, DOESN'T HAVE ANY SIDEWALKS.

SO FROM MY TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE, I WOULD SEE THIS AS A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO

[00:15:04]

YOU'VE GOT SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AND OF COURSE, THEY'RE ALL PRIORITIES.

STAFF IS WORKING ON SOME ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES THAT MIGHT HELP BRING OTHER FUNDING TO HELP GET MORE SIDEWALKS AROUND OTHER SCHOOLS MORE QUICKLY THAN WE COULD STRICTLY WITH CITY FUNDING.

SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OR 3 TO 4 MONTHS, I ANTICIPATE WE'D BE BRINGING YOU SOMETHING BACK TO PROVIDE MORE DETAIL ON THAT AS IT DEVELOPS A LITTLE FURTHER.

BUT WE AGREE THAT, YOU KNOW, SIDEWALKS AROUND ANY SCHOOL IS A PRIORITY.

AND JUST LOOKING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ON HOW WE PROCEED HERE.

I WOULD JUST ADD A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL POINTS.

THERE ARE TWO OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT WE'VE TALKED TO THE COUNCIL BEFORE ABOUT, AND THAT'S THE 1902 AND I BELIEVE IT'S 910 PROJECT OUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY FOR SOME SIDEWALKS IN THAT AREA DOWN BY THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE SIDEWALK AREA AT HILLSIDE AND ELK CLOSE TO BURLESON HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT'S A PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

AND COUNCIL MEMBER MCCLENDON I KNOW THE SEGMENT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT. YES SIR TO TRY TO GET THAT DONE.

BUT THIS IS WHY WE'RE HERE IS TO SEE IS THIS A SEGMENT THAT YOU WANT TO DO? FROM THE LAST DISCUSSION, THE COUNCIL HAD INDICATED THAT YOU DID WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, BUT WE WANTED TO BRING IT FORWARD BEFORE WE STARTED THAT OUTREACH TO ALL THE NEIGHBORS AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS TRULY THE ONE THAT YOU WANT TO DO.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE IS OF HIGH ENOUGH VALUE, THEN THERE'S CERTAINLY SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE COULD LOOK AT.

SO THAT'S FOR DISCUSSION FOR THE COUNCIL AND REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

WOULD YOU GO BACK TO THAT MAP THAT YOU WAS JUST ON PLEASE? THERE YOU GO. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT I'VE HAD IN THIS AREA IS BEING THE BUS STOP SOMEWHERE IN HERE AND ALSO THE ROUNDABOUT AND KIDS HAVING INCIDENTS.

THE SIDEWALK, WE SET THE PRIORITY.

WHAT WAS YOUR DATA ON SETTING THE PRIORITY? WAS IT THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD OR SOMEBODY SAYING, WE WANT THIS? OR HOW DID YOU SET YOUR PRIORITIES ON THIS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT OR SIDEWALKS IN GENERAL? I'M SORRY. SO SIDEWALKS IN GENERAL IN THE MASTER AND THE MOBILITY PLAN, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THREE MAIN THINGS MAKING CONNECTIONS TO SCHOOLS AS A TOP PRIORITY, BUT THEN ALSO MAKING CONNECTIONS TO PLACES OF INTEREST LIKE THE BRICK, AS AN EXAMPLE, OR AS SHOPPING CENTER, AND THEN ALSO CONNECTIONS TO EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, SIDEWALKS AROUND OLD TOWN AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

SO IT WASN'T BASED ON TRAFFIC NUMBERS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT WAS JUST CONNECTING, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. YEAH. WE TALKED TO THE ISD TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP US ON WHERE WE I DON'T WANT TO SHORT CHANGE ANY STUDENT AND I WANT THEM SAFE WHEN THEY'RE WALKING.

SO IF ISD COULD TELL US WHERE THESE STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM OR IF THEY COULD HELP US OUT, WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE IT OR NOT.

WELL I THINK WE CAN CERTAINLY GET AN IDEA OF THE CURRENT STUDENT BODY THAT'S THERE.

BUT AS THINGS CHANGE IN YEAR TO YEAR AND OVER THE NEXT 10, 15 YEARS, THAT MIXTURE WILL CHANGE.

AND THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THAT USE OF THAT SCHOOL COULD CHANGE AS WELL.

AND SO THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO KIND OF PLAN FOR 20, 30, 40 YEARS OUT OF KIND OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE THAT USE.

BUT WHEN WE BROUGHT THE MCNAIRN PROJECT AS COUNCILMEMBER MCCLENDON MENTIONED WHEN WE BROUGHT THAT TO YOU A FEW MONTHS AGO, THERE WERE SOME COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA THAT BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC BEING CHANGED, THAT IT WAS UNSAFE.

AND THAT'S REALLY THE PRIMARY DISCUSSION AND REASON WHY WE BROUGHT THAT FORWARD BACK TO YOU TODAY.

AND I REMEMBER THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

AND WE WANT TO KEEP ANYONE WHO'S WALKING OUT OF THE STREET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

AND THAT'S THE UNFORTUNATE.

WHEN THIS AREA WAS DEVELOPED, IT WASN'T PART OF NEIGHBORHOOD STANDARDS TO PUT IN SIDEWALKS.

BUT THEN THERE'S LIKE I MENTIONED, IF IT'S REALLY ABOUT THAT SCHOOL IS JILL ANN NOT MORE OF A I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE SIDEWALKS EITHER.

AND SO IS THAT NOT MORE OF A PRIORITY? HOW DO WE DETERMINE IS IT JUST BECAUSE THESE TWO STREETS SANDWICHED MCNAIRN.

BUT I HEAR A LOT MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF SUMMERCREST AND THE ROUNDABOUT THAT'S THERE TOO YOU KNOW HOW DO WE SAFELY GET STUDENT WE KNOW HUGHES IS ON DOWN THE STREET AND MOUND SO THAT IS A NEIGHBOR.

THOSE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD CAMPUSES WHERE WE DO KNOW THAT STUDENTS ARE GOING TO WALK TO AND FROM HOME.

AND SO I WOULD MUCH RATHER SEE US ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUES WHERE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S PEOPLE PLAYING FROGGER AT THE ROUNDABOUT BEFORE.

[00:20:02]

SO SUZANNE TERRACE, I THINK, HAS SIDEWALKS.

YOU'RE CORRECT. JILL ANN DOES NOT.

AND THEN JAYELLEN MCNAIRN AND WINTERCREST DO NOT.

SO IT WAS REALLY MORE OF A IN ADDITION TO THE DIRECTION AS I UNDERSTAND THAT STAFF RECEIVED THESE TWO STREETS MADE A LOT OF SENSE TO TRY AND COVER AS MUCH OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AREA AS POSSIBLE.

AND THEN THE SUMMERCREST AND THE ROUNDABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON.

SO I THINK IN THE NOT TOO VERY DISTANT FUTURE, YOU WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT, SOMETHING HOPEFULLY POSITIVE, I THINK.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE REST OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE, BUT AT THIS TIME, I THINK I WOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT EITHER CONSTRUCTING THE JAYELLEN SIDEWALK AND PAUSING ON THE WINTERCREST OR JUST KIND OF BECAUSE, I MEAN, WINTERCREST DOESN'T EVEN APPROACH THE SCHOOL.

IT'S A BLOCK AWAY.

SO I WOULD LOOK AT EITHER SCALING IT BACK TO JUST THE JAYELLEN SIDEWALK BECAUSE IT AT LEAST DOES ACTUALLY GO TO THE CAMPUS OR JUST LET'S JUST KIND OF PUT THE BRAKES ON THE WHOLE THING UNTIL WE'VE GOT A BETTER SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR IDENTIFYING OUR GREATEST NEEDS.

I'D HATE TO FOCUS ON BUILDING SIDEWALKS TO SERVE THIS SCHOOL WHEN I HAVE ANOTHER SCHOOL ON THE OTHER PART OF TOWN THAT HAS A LOT MORE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THAT'S WALKING IN THE STREET THAN THIS ONE DOES.

AND WITHOUT ANY DATA TO MAKE THAT DECISION ON, I JUST DON'T HAVE A STICK TO HOLD ON TO IN THE FLOOD HERE.

SO I'M THINKING LET'S WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE A BETTER NOTION OF WHERE WE CAN MOST EFFECTIVELY SPEND THIS MONEY.

I LIKE THAT ANALOGY.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE. [LAUGHTER] BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE COULD DO IF THE COUNCIL IS AMENABLE TO IT, IS WE CAN COME BACK PERHAPS AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR ONCE WE HAVE THE MOBILITY PLAN AND GIVE YOU A SERIES OF PROJECTS THAT WE TRY TO RANK FOR YOU AND SEE FROM AT LEAST THE STAFF PERSPECTIVE, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RANKINGS AND THEN LOOK FOR COUNCIL FEEDBACK ON WHAT CHANGES THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE.

IF THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE, WE CAN I DO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR.

I AM PRETTY SURE THAT A SCHOOL DISTRICT COULD TELL YOU THE ONES THAT THEY ARE HAVING TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH.

THEY COULD PROBABLY MOST CERTAINLY HELP US PRIORITIZE THE SIDEWALKS THEMSELVES AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THEM PART OF THIS CONVERSATION. WE'RE GLAD TO DO THAT.

SO WE AGREE WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF SET THIS ON THE BACK BURNER.

YES, SIR. I THINK WE'LL DO THAT.

AND I DO WANT TO THANK ERRICK FOR DOING HIS FIRST COUNCIL PRESENTATION.

IT DOES GET A LITTLE CONFUSING AROUND THE OFFICE WITH TWO ERRICK'S, BUT WE'VE FOUND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ONLY HIRED PEOPLE WITH REVERSIBLE NAMES.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE ERIC OSCARSON OSCAR ERICKSON.

NOW YOU'VE GOT THOMAS ERRICK.

IT'S GETTING CONFUSING. YES, SIR.

ANYWAY, IT'S INTERESTING.

JUST ONE MORE THING. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE GRANT PROGRAMS FOR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS.

FORT WORTH ACCESSES A LOT OF THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE HAVE THAT, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS PUTTING AN EYE ON THAT POSSIBILITY.

I ALLUDED TO THAT EARLIER.

AND GIVE ME 2 TO 3 MONTHS.

YOU'LL HEAR SOMETHING MORE DETAILED ABOUT THAT.

ALL RIGHT. POTENTIALLY EXCITING.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

WELCOME, ERRICK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[2B. Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide staff direction regarding public art. ]

THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS AFTERNOON IS JEN BASHAM, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION, JEN.

GOOD EVENING.

AFTERNOON. EVENING 4:20.

I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY THAT COUNTS.

ALL RIGHT. WE ARE HERE THIS EVENING TO TALK PUBLIC ART.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF TIMELINE, BUT I'M ALSO JUST GOING TO GUIDE WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING AS PUBLIC ART.

I THINK IT'S A BIGGER CONVERSATION THAN MOST PEOPLE ARE REALLY AWARE OF.

AND SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO SHOW YOU SOME EXAMPLES, DISCUSS KIND OF SOME TIMELINES AND SOME OBJECTIVES.

AND REALLY JUST HERE TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK AS TO HOW YOU'D LIKE US TO PROCEED.

SO THIS WAS IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN FROM COUNCIL LAST YEAR TO DEVELOP A POLICY AND FUNDING PLAN TO CONTINUE AND ENHANCE PUBLIC ART WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SO THAT WAS IDENTIFIED FOR THE PAST YEAR I DO WANT TO GIVE ALL OF THE CREDIT TO LISA DUELLO, JESSE TATE AND KEEP BURLESON BEAUTIFUL.

THEY REALLY TOOK CHARGE OF THIS.

THIS HAS BEEN THEIR BABY UP UNTIL NOW.

AND SO AS WE TRANSITION FORWARD, A LOT OF THE WORK THAT YOU'RE SEEING TODAY IS LISA'S.

AND SO I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CREDIT FOR ANY OF THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THIS WAS KIND OF WHERE WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT FIND A HOME FOR IT IN PARKS AND RECREATION.

[00:25:03]

ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT IS PUBLIC ART? IT'S ANY MEDIUM THAT'S SITUATED IN A PUBLIC SPACE.

AND SO I THINK SO MANY TIMES YOU'RE JUST THINKING MURALS.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE STARTED WITH LAST YEAR AT BAILEY LAKE, LIKE, OH, WE CAN MAKE THE COMMUNITY LOOK SO MUCH COOLER IF WE PUT STRATEGICALLY PLACED MURALS THROUGHOUT.

BUT IT'S EVERYTHING FROM LANDSCAPE TREATMENTS TO FACADES TO FREESTANDING SCULPTURES.

IT CAN BE COOL LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS, IT CAN BE ELECTRONIC MEDIA AND SIGNAGE, IT CAN BE PHOTOGRAPHS, DIFFERENT WATER ELEMENTS.

YOU CAN DO WRITTEN WORDS, FILM, VIDEO.

IT'S ALL OF IT CAN ALL BE CONSIDERED PUBLIC ART.

AND SO THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT CAN BE ON THE TOP LEFT.

WE CAN MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT'S PLAYABLE.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE A COOL LITTLE CATERPILLAR, BUT IT IS ALSO SOMETHING FOR KIDDOS TO PLAY ON.

THERE CAN BE MEMORIAL SCULPTURES LIKE THE ONE NEXT TO IT WITH A LITTLE BOY AND HIS DOG OR ADJACENT TO THAT.

IT'S ON A PARK BENCH.

IT CAN ALSO TELL THE STORY OF A SPACE.

AND SO WHEN YOU'RE DEFINING WHAT THIS IS, WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO SOMETHING THAT'S VERY BURLESON SPECIFIC AND UNIQUE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

SOME OF THE OBJECTIVES AS DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES EXPLORE THIS AS THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING THEIR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER AND COLLECT A UNIQUE IDENTITY TO TRANSFORM SOME OF THOSE PUBLIC SPACES. SO ONE THING THAT YOU CAN THINK OF OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD ARE THOSE BIG ELECTRIC BOXES THAT YOU SEE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. WE CAN WRAP THOSE AND MAKE THEM BOTH INFORMATIVE AND MORE BEAUTIFUL.

AND SO THERE'S REALLY SIMPLE WAYS THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT THIS.

WE CAN HONOR THE DIVERSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WITHIN IT WITH NEW IDEAS, WE CAN CONNECT PEOPLE.

SO AS WE CREATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PUBLIC ART IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPACES, THEY BECOME TALKING POINTS AND GATHERING SPACES.

WE CAN CELEBRATE OUR ENVIRONMENT.

AND THEN OF COURSE, IT WILL ALWAYS DRAW PEOPLE TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS, TO SIT IN A BEAUTIFUL NEW SPACE, TO SEE A PIECE OF ART THAT IS ONLY SPECIFIC TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THEN IT DOES CONTRIBUTE TO KEEPING A UNIQUE IDENTITY AND A SENSE OF PRIDE FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON.

SO THE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT FOR OUR PRINCIPLES ARE ACCESSIBILITY, TRANSPARENCY AND PROFESSIONALISM, CIVIC PRIDE, THE QUALITY OF THE ART PIECES THAT WE WOULD DO.

WE WANT TO CREATE A VARIETY SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE KNOWN AS THE BLUEBONNET CAPITAL OF TEXAS IN MURALS, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DEPENDING ON THE SPACES THAT ARE BEING CREATED AND THE ART THAT'S BEING IMPLEMENTED, THAT THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS, BUT THEY COLLECTIVELY SHOW HOW UNIQUE WE ARE.

AND SO THE BIG, BIG, HEAVY LIFT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES IN KEEP BURLESON BEAUTIFUL DID WAS LOOKING AT WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES WERE DOING.

AND SO HOW WERE THEY GOVERNED? HOW WAS STAFF LIAISING TO THAT? DID THEY HAVE A CITY BUDGET? DID THEY HAVE AN EXISTING PUBLIC ART PROGRAM? AND THERE WERE A TON OF CITIES THAT WERE REACHED OUT TO.

THESE WERE THE ONES THAT THEY FOUND DATA ON.

AND SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, SOME OF THEM HAVE A FREESTANDING BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

SOME OF THEM ARE CITY FUNCTIONS.

SO THE CITY OPERATES THEM.

SOME OF THEM ARE NON-PROFITS THAT STAND ALONE.

QUITE A FEW OF THEM ARE A COMBINATION THEREOF.

SO THEY HAVE A CITY LIAISON THAT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO A BOARD, AND THEY ALSO POTENTIALLY HAVE A NONPROFIT THAT PRIVATELY ASSIST WITH FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES.

THE SPECIFIC ONE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH IS THE CITY OF KELLER.

THEY HAVE A CITY LIAISON THAT'S A CITY STAFF MEMBER THAT KIND OF TAKES THE CHARGE OF THAT.

THEY HAVE A PUBLIC ART BOARD THAT WHEN WE FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM, THIS WAS KIND OF WHY I'M STANDING BEFORE YOU TODAY.

THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD DO THIS AGAIN, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE QUESTION.

THE REAL HEAVY HITTER WAS LIKE, HEY, YOU TOOK THIS AS A BABY AND YOU MOVED IT FORWARD.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY? AND THEIR BIGGEST THING WAS A PUBLIC ART BOARD.

AND THIS IS SPECIFIC TO KELLER, SO IT COULD WORK VERY DIFFERENTLY HERE WAS THAT THEY FELT LIKE ALL OF THE HEAVY LIFTING ENDED UP BEING DONE BY AN INTERNAL DEPARTMENT.

SO IF THOSE TWO HAD WORKED IN MORE SUCCINCT VISION, THEN THEY COULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN A LOT FURTHER THAN THEY HAD ANTICIPATED.

IT WAS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO KEEP BOARD MEMBERS THAT WERE SPECIFIC JUST TO ART, BECAUSE THAT'S A VERY SMALL NICHE.

SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD FOLD THIS UNDER PARKS AND RECREATION, UNDER THAT PARK AND RECREATION BOARD.

SO THEIR CITY LIAISON ACTUALLY IS IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, BUT THEY AND THEY HAVE A PUBLIC ART BOARD THAT'S THE CVB.

IF THEY HAVE A TOURISM DEPARTMENT, IT KIND OF IS ALL OVER.

DENTON'S IS DIRECTOR OF PARKS.

GRAND PRAIRIE THEY HAVE PARKS, ARTS AND RECREATION AS THEIR DEPARTMENT.

SO REALLY WE KIND OF HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT.

HOWEVER, COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO DO IT.

THEIR BUDGETS ARE THE SAME AS WELL.

SOME OF THEM HAVE A IDENTIFIED QUANTITY OF FUNDING.

SOME OF THEM HAVE AN ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT FEE THAT THEY CHARGE, AND SO THEY HAVE A SEPARATE FUND THAT FUNDS PUBLIC ART.

[00:30:04]

AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THAT LAST COLUMN, THERE'S A VARIETY OF MASTER PLANS, CULTURAL PLANS, NO FORMAL PROGRAM.

THEY JUST KIND OF IF SOMEONE COMES IN AND SAYS THEY WANT TO DO A PIECE OF ART, THEY BRING IT FORWARD AND SAY, HEY, IS THIS SOMETHING YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT? BUT ALL OF THE CITIES THAT WERE FOLDED IN SAID, YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THIS, SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE IT'S CONSTRUCTED PROPERLY AND SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF IT ONCE IT'S IMPLEMENTED.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE THOUGHT PARKS AND RECREATION MAY BE THE GOOD HOME FOR THAT, BECAUSE THE BULK OF THESE ARE DONE IN PUBLIC SPACES.

SO THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY.

SO I WAS ASKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COULD BE SOMEONE'S FACE, BUT I'M WORKING ON TRANSPOSING IT.

I HAVEN'T GOT IT YET, BUT I WILL.

SO IT'S TO IDENTIFY THE FUNDING.

WE'RE LOOKING AT 15% HOT MOT FUNDING.

IDENTIFYING SPECIFIC FUNDING THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS.

IDENTIFYING 4B IS ACTUALLY AN OPPORTUNITY.

WE CAN UTILIZE THAT FUNDING FOR PUBLIC ART PROGRAM AND THEN AS WELL AS DONATIONS OR FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES.

SO SELECTING A HOME FOR PUBLIC ART, THAT'S WHAT BECAME A BIGGER QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, SHOULD THIS BE AN EXISTING BOARD WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE SYSTEM? SHOULD THIS BE A NEW BOARD MADE UP OF VARIOUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS, OR SHOULD WE NOT DO A BOARD AND HAVE PUBLIC ART BE DIRECTLY MANAGED BY COUNCIL? AND SO WHICHEVER HOME THAT IS SELECTED, THIS WOULD BE THE STEPS THAT WE WOULD DO.

SO ONCE A BOARD HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, WE WOULD CREATE A POLICY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC ART.

WE IDENTIFY KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEN WE WOULD THE BIG HEAVY LIFT OF THIS WOULD BE TO CREATE A PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT POLICY AND THOSE STAKEHOLDERS ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THAT.

AND THEN UNDERNEATH THAT WE WROTE LIKE BASICALLY HOW THAT POLICY WOULD FUNCTION AND THEN THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THAT MASTER PLAN.

AND SO THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR TODAY IS WHAT HOME WOULD YOU LIKE FOR PUBLIC ART? WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE A STANDALONE BOARD? WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO GO DIRECTLY TO COUNCIL OR WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO ANSWER TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND THEN GO THROUGH THE BOARD AND BE PRESENTED TO YOU AT COUNCIL? THERE'S A LOT OF OPEN ENDS HERE.

OKAY.

LOCATION. HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST?MAINTENANCE? WHO'S IN CHARGE OF IT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS HERE THAT I HAVE.

I WAS SURPRISED VICTORIA HADN'T ALREADY HIT HER BUTTON BEFORE I DID.

BUT I'M FOR THIS.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S ALL OF.

GO AHEAD. I THINK ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE CAN ANSWER THEM, WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM A BOARD SO THAT WE CAN START ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS.

AND THAT'S WHERE, YOU KNOW, LISA'S GROUP HAD REALLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE CALL FOR ART THAT THEY DID LAST YEAR.

AND I THINK BEFORE WE WERE LIKE, BEFORE WE REALLY TAKE THIS, WE NEED TO IDENTIFY WHERE IS IT GOING TO LIVE SO THAT WE CAN START ANSWERING, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT OUR HOW ARE WE GOING TO FUND OUR WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY WANT TO SEE IN ART? ARE THEY COMFORTABLE WITH IT? AND BEFORE WE CAN DO ANY OF THAT, WE NEED TO DECIDE WHAT BOARD IT'S GOING TO ANSWER TO AND WHAT STAFF IS GOING TO LIAISE IT.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I CAN SEE NOT PROBLEM CHALLENGE OKAY, IS THE FACT THAT WITH PROPERTY VALUES GOING UP AND WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING ON ART SIDE OF IT COULD, COULD BE QUESTIONABLE AT THE TIME.

IS THERE SPONSORSHIPS ON ART LIKE, ONE OF THE FAST FOOD PLACES OR RESTAURANTS GOING DOWN AND PUTTING SUBS IN AND IT'S GOING TO BE THERE FOR SO MANY YEARS? ABSOLUTELY.

WE CAN DO NAMING RIGHTS ON CALLS FOR PROJECTS.

THERE IS HOT MOT THAT'S ALREADY IDENTIFIED 15% OF THAT WILL GO TO THIS DIRECTLY ALREADY.

AND THEN 4B, WHICH WOULD NOT AFFECT THIS AS WELL.

SO RIGHT NOW WE PUT THAT THAT COULD BE AN OPTION, THAT THERE WOULD BE A GENERAL FUND ALLOCATION.

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT'S THE PRIORITY AT THIS TIME.

RIGHT. RIGHT NOW, MAYOR, THE BUDGET INCLUDES $60,000 IN HOT FUNDS FOR PUBLIC ART.

THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DESIGN A PROGRAM AROUND RIGHT NOW.

CERTAINLY IN THE FUTURE, THE COUNCIL COULD ADD MORE FUNDING TO IT, BUT IT'S ALL NON TAXPAYER OR NON PROPERTY TAXPAYER RELATED FUNDS.

IT'S HOT FUNDS AT THIS POINT.

THAT HELPS. DO YOU HAVE SOMEBODY IN MIND THAT'S GOT A HISTORY SOMEWHERE ELSE WITH THIS OR ? SO. HOW WOULD YOU FIND THEM? WELL, SO THAT'S PART OF IT.

WE WILL WORK WITH THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION AS WELL AS RUSSELL FARM IS ACTUALLY AN ART CENTER.

SO WE HAVE AN ART BOARD THAT'S IN EXISTENCE THERE AND THEY ALREADY HAVE A PRETTY HEALTHY ART COMMUNITY OUT THERE.

SO WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM TO IDENTIFY STAKEHOLDERS.

HONESTLY, EVEN WITH PARKS AND RECREATION, IF THEY WERE TO SERVE AS THE BOARD, WE WOULD BE IDENTIFYING ESSENTIALLY A SECONDARY GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS ON ALL CALL FOR ART TO ENSURE

[00:35:05]

ONE REASON I THINK THAT WE HAVE HAD MINIMAL EFFORT TOWARDS PUBLIC ART IS BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF BEEN A BASKETBALL THAT WE BOUNCE FROM ONE PLACE TO THE OTHER.

THE COUNCIL HAS PUSHED IT AT TIMES, BUT THEN COUNCIL'S GET VERY DISTRACTED AND VERY BUSY WITH THINGS.

I FEEL LIKE THE PARKS BOARD HAS A LOT ON THEIR PLATE RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE TO RESOLVE A COMMUNITY REGIONAL PARK.

WE HAVE TO RESOLVE SOFTBALL, WE HAVE PARKING LOTS TO BUILD.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS.

WE'VE GOT TO SOLVE SEVERAL DILEMMAS.

AND TO ME, THERE IS SOME CROSSOVER BETWEEN THE CONCEPT OF ART IN A CITY AND THE CONCEPT OF PARKS AND RECREATION, BUT THEY'RE DEFINITELY SEPARATE AND DISTINCT THINGS. I'M A VERY LEFT BRAIN PERSON.

I'M ALL FACTS, FIGURES, DATA, ETC.

I'M NOT AN ARTIST, BUT WE NEED AN ARTIST PERSON.

WE NEED AN ARTIST GROUP, IN MY OPINION, TO DO THAT.

THE OTHER PROBLEMS WE SOLVE NEED SOME MORE LEFT BRAIN PEOPLE LIKE ME TO FIGURE OUT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SEPARATE ARTS COUNCIL BECAUSE YOU KNOW, A LOT OF ART RANGE IS PRETTY WIDE.

YOU LISTED PERFORMANCE ART, FILM, ART, MUSIC.

IT'S A VERY BROAD THING, BUT I FEEL LIKE SOME GROUP NEEDS TO BE CREATED THAT HAS THAT FOCUS AND THAT FOCUS ONLY.

AND WE CAN DECIDE HOW MUCH FUNDS TO ALLOCATE, HOW MUCH PROJECTS, HOW MANY PROJECTS WE CAN DO.

BUT THE CONCEPTUALIZING OF WHAT PUBLIC ART MEANS TO THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO COME FROM PEOPLE WITH IMAGINATION AND ARTISTIC TALENT.

SO I WOULD ADVOCATE FOR THE IDEA OF CREATING AN ART BOARD AND CHARGING THEM WITH THE CONCEPTUALIZING AND EVENTUAL RENDERING OF PUBLIC ART AND WHATEVER FORM IT WINDS UP TAKING.

WE HAVE MURALS IN TOWN ALREADY THAT THOSE ARE GREAT THINGS.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ARTS PROJECTS, BUT REALLY HAVEN'T EVER MOVED MUCH IN THAT DIRECTION, OTHER THAN THE BAILEY LAKE MURAL, WHICH IS GORGEOUS, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY WELL RECEIVED BY THE COMMUNITY.

YES. AND I THINK WE ALL WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT PROJECT GO FARTHER.

ANYWAY, THAT'S MY THOUGHTS ON IT.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

JEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO RUN WITH THAT OR DO YOU NEED HELP ON THAT OR? I THINK THAT THE QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT STAFF LIAISON AND WHAT DEPARTMENT IT WOULD FALL UNDER.

SO THE HIERARCHY OF ALL OF THAT CAN BE FIGURED OUT.

I THINK THE FIRST QUESTION WAS, DO YOU WANT TO CREATE A SEPARATE BOARD THAT WOULD DIRECTLY REPORT TO COUNCIL? AND THEN PROBABLY BRYAN'S PREROGATIVE AS TO WHAT STAFF WOULD LIAISE THAT.

YEAH, WE CAN FIGURE. I'M SORRY.

ALSO I WOULD COMMENT, I DO AGREE WITH THE ART BOARD.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

WE HAD A WONDERFUL ART TEACHER AT THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.

JODY ANDERSON I'M NOT SURE RIGHT NOW THAT THEY'RE NOT SOME VERY, VERY FINE ART TEACHERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS PLUS OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT PROBABLY COULD GIVE US A GREAT DEAL OF HELP ON THIS ONE PARTICULAR THING.

I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT'S CALLED THE BOARD MORE EXPLORATORY THAN STARTING TRYING TO BUILD A PROJECT.

IF WE TOOK THE TOWN OVERALL AND MAYBE GOT SOME KIND OF THEME GOING IN THAT DIRECTION, THAT WHATEVER THAT IS, AND TRY TO GET AN OVERALL CONCEPT GOING, INSTEAD OF SAYING, LET'S GO PUT SOME ART OVER HERE, LET'S GO PUT SOME, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE? SO I LIKE THE IDEA OF AN EXPLORATORY BOARD, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF CITY INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE BEING INVOLVED WITH THE CITY AND THE ART PEOPLE AND TRY TO COMBINE THAT AND THEN COME BACK TO US AND PRESENT WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE.

BUT ANYBODY ELSE? I THINK WE HAVE A REAL AN AWESOME RESOURCE TO START FROM IN RUSSELL ART FARM.

I THINK LIKE YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE SO MANY ARTISTS AND IT'S NOT EVEN JUST FROM THIS COMMUNITY BUT FROM SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

IT REALLY HAS A POOL AND THEY HAVE A GREAT NETWORK.

MR. JOHNSON MENTIONED OUR ART TEACHERS.

I'M SURE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY IN THIS COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING THE AREA OF JOHNSON COUNTY THAT HAVE HAD A BETTER FEEL THAN ME PER SE, BUT CAN SAY LIKE CREATE THAT MASTER PLAN IN THAT WHERE ART COULD HAVE A GOOD HOME.

[00:40:01]

AND SO THE POSSIBILITIES ARE REALLY ENDLESS AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE THAT, PUTTING TOGETHER SIMILAR MINDS THAT CAN PICTURE ART IN PLACES THAT MAYBE WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF YET, AND PUTTING TOGETHER A PLAN OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

WHAT IS OUR THEME? WHAT'S OUR GOALS? DO WE HAVE WHAT TYPE, WHAT ARE ALL THE MEDIA TYPES THAT WE CAN USE? AND SO I AGREE THAT I THINK A GOOD ROUTE WOULD BE TO HAVE IT'S A SEPARATE BOARD OF PEOPLE THAT SEE THINGS IN THAT WAY, SEE THINGS IN IMAGINATIVE AND ARTISTIC WAYS, AND CAN COME FORWARD WITH THOSE IDEAS.

BUT MAYOR, I THINK IT WON'T JUST BE LIKE YOU'VE MENTIONED DIVING IN AND SAYING THIS NEXT PIECE OF ART GOES HERE.

IT'S GOING TO BE CREATING A MASTER PLAN AND KNOWING WHERE WE WANT TO GO IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, TEN YEARS WITH ART AND ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDIA THAT CAN BE USED.

AND WHICH COMMUNITY WANTS IT, WHICH PART OF OUR TOWN WANTS IT AND WHICH ONES DON'T.

ALL THE ART IS TRYING TO BLEND THEM TOGETHER TO WORK TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE A CHALLENGE.

BUT SEE YOU CAN SHAKE YOUR HEAD, YES, I CAN'T LIKE THAT.

SO WHEN YOU GET THESE BLENDS AND BRING THEM TOGETHER, I SEE YOU GOT A GREAT FUTURE WITH IT.

SO EVERYBODY AGREE TO CREATE THE BOARD.

SO JUST JUST TO BE CLEAR.

SO YOU WANT US TO TAKE THAT THROUGH YOUR BOARD AND COUNCIL BOARD APPOINTMENT POLICY BOARD COMMITTEE AND BRING THAT THROUGH TO HAVE THE COUNCIL APPOINT THOSE MEMBERS AS A SEPARATE BOARD? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

OR HOW DID YOU WANT US TO DO THAT? I WOULD LIKE TO. I JUST GOT TO LEAN ON JEN AND LET HER TO GET SOME PEOPLE TOGETHER AND GET SOME IDEAS AND JUST PUT IT LIKE A SUBCOMMITTEE OR WHAT WOULD THAT BE? WELL, WOULD THIS BE A BOARD THAT YOU'D WANT TO REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE CITY COUNCIL, OR WOULD THIS BE JUST AN ADVISORY GROUP THAT WOULD ADVISE STAFF AND PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION TO YOU? WE CAN CERTAINLY REACH OUT AND TRY TO FIND SOME PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED, BUT I WANT TO BE CAREFUL THAT WE'RE NOT SELECTING A BOARD FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR JEN TO GET PEOPLE WITH HER AND GET IDEAS AND BRAINSTORM A LITTLE BIT.

THEN WE'LL GO DOWN THE ROAD FROM THERE.

IS THAT OKAY? YEAH.

YOU DIDN'T SAY. YES, SIR.

[LAUGHTER]. [INAUDIBLE] WELL, HE'S MY BOSS, SO WE CAN START HAVING GATHER TOGETHER SOME NAMES FOR YOU THAT HAVE SOME ARTISTIC HISTORY AND BACKGROUND AND MAYBE BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND SAY, HERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING.

I THINK WHAT THIS IS NOT IS A BOARD SET UP THAT SOMEBODY COMES AND SAYS, OH, SURE, I'D LOVE TO VOLUNTEER AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE BACKGROUND. I THINK THEY NEED THE BACKGROUND, ESPECIALLY IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO BE ABLE TO HELP US.

ABSOLUTELY. SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE COULD DO, AND LISA'S ACTUALLY ALREADY OUTLINED IT, IS IDENTIFYING A MATRIX OF PEOPLE THAT WE WOULD WANT.

SO IDENTIFYING YOUR SCHOOL ART TEACHERS, YOUR UNIVERSITY ART TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, LOCAL ARTISTS AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE A MEMBER OF KEEP BURLESON BEAUTIFUL.

SO MAKING A MATRIX OF HISTORIANS, ETC.

SO I CAN BRING THAT LIST OR HAVE IT GO THROUGH BRYAN AS A FUTURE THING AND THEN SHOW YOU WHO WE'RE THINKING OF.

SO YOU CAN BLESS THAT BEFORE WE PROCEED, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO.

EVERYBODY GOOD WITH THAT? YES, I THINK LET'S LET THE COUNCIL APPOINT THIS COMMITTEE AS OPPOSED TO ALL THE OTHERS DIRECTLY, RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE TYPICAL PROCESS.

SO WE CAN BRING YOU BACK SOME THE COUNCIL TAKES ACTION ON IT.

YES, VICTORIA? YEAH. THAT GOOD? YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. WE'LL DO THAT. JEN THANK YOU SO MUCH.

CAN YOU GET BACK WITH US NEXT WEEK? ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY.

I WON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS, BUT I CAN GET BACK TO YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US ACTUALLY, WE WILL MOVE UP SECTION 11 EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THIS TIME.

SO PURSUANT TO SECTION 551.071 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, THE COUNCIL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FROM TIME TO TIME AS DEEMED NECESSARY. DURING THE MEETING, THEY WILL RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO SECTION 551.071, 551.072, 551.073, AND 551.087.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD ASK FOR A MOTION AND A SECOND AND A VOTE, PLEASE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WERE YOU USING THE CLICKY THING OR? YES, SIR. THE ELECTRONIC VOTING SHOULD BE.

I HAVE A MOTION BY DAN AND A SECOND BY RICK, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.

[00:45:01]

IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN BACK INTO REGULAR SESSION? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO RETURN TO SESSION.

SORRY. CAN WE USE THAT? YES. WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND I GOT A SECOND BY DAN, PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS I'M GOING TO OPEN THE SESSION UP AT 5:48.

RECONVENING IN OPEN SESSION.

THANK YOU. THAT MOVES US TO SECTION 3 PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS.

THERE ARE NO PROCLAMATIONS OR PRESENTATIONS AT THIS TIME.

[3C. Community Interest Items This is a standing item on the agenda of every regular meeting of the City Council. An “item of community interest” includes the following: -Expression of thanks, congratulations, or condolence; -Information regarding holiday schedules; -Honorary recognitions of city officials, employees, or other citizens; -Reminders about upcoming events sponsored by the city or other entity that is scheduled to be attended by city official or city employee; and -Announcements involving imminent public health and safety threats to the city.]

STACY SINGLETON I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS STACY.

YOU KNOW, I MADE A COMMENT WHEN STACY WAS AT HIS DEAL THAT I PROBABLY WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE BUILDING THAT WAS THE COACH TEACHER WHEN HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT HE WAS NOT ONLY A GREAT KID, BUT HE'S A GREAT MAN.

HE REALLY WAS.

AND HE'S DOING A FINE JOB.

SO MY HAT'S OFF TO HIM.

AND THEN WE HAD AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET HER NAME RIGHT.

DESIRE CHOATE.

IS THAT RIGHT CHIEF.

DESIREE. OK.

DESIREE I'M SORRY, RETIRED TODAY AND SHE HAD DONE A VERY FINE JOB AND A DIFFICULT JOB.

VERY WELL.

WE HAD A LOVELY TIME WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY NIGHT AT THEIR BANQUET AND REALLY WAS A GREAT SHOWING OF THE AMAZING MEN AND WOMEN THAT WE HAVE SERVING OUR CITY AS FIRST RESPONDERS, SPECIFICALLY IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND SOME OF THE FIREFIGHTER OF THE YEAR AND WAS IT THE LIEUTENANT WHO IS AN OFFICER OF THE YEAR? THANK YOU. IT WAS JUST A LOVELY TIME TO VISIT WITH THEM AND JUST KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF OFF TIME TO GET TO KNOW EVERYBODY BETTER AND, OF COURSE, TO WITNESS HOW MUCH THEY SINCERELY ENJOY WORKING WITH EACH OTHER AND LOVE WHAT THEY DO.

SO IT WAS WONDERFUL TIME.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. SURE.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT RECENTLY I WAS MADE AWARE OF AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS VISITING OR PASSING THROUGH OUR TOWN THAT NEEDED SOME ASSISTANCE. AND OUR VICTIM'S ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS JUST PHENOMENAL.

AND WE GENUINELY CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE SERVING IN THIS COMMUNITY AND ENSURING THAT THEY CAN GET CONNECTED WITH THE RIGHT RESOURCES TO HELP THEM IN THE NEXT STAGES OF WHEREVER THEIR LIFE MAY BE TAKING THEM.

BUT I JUST I CAN'T BRAG ON OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ENOUGH ON HOW THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION WAS HANDLED.

AND AND THANK YOU TO MS. STEPHANIE AND HER LEADERSHIP JUST ON HOW THAT WAS HANDLED.

IT WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND HAD A LOT OF HEART.

AND SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THIS SATURDAY IS FOUNDER'S DAY AND IT IS FROM 10 TO 4 HERE IN THE PLAZA.

THERE WILL BE RE-ENACTMENTS AND FOOD AND ALL KINDS OF FUN ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES.

SO I ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION.

AND A NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS PUT IN A LOT OF WORK IN THAT ANNUAL EVENT.

SO COME OUT TO THE PLAZA THIS SATURDAY.

NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT IS GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO WRAP UP THE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WITH THIS NEXT WEEKEND'S ACTIVITIES.

SO NEXT FRIDAY, I BELIEVE IT'S THE 14TH.

THERE'S A LATIN AMERICAN FOOD TRUCK NIGHT AT THE BRICK AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES TO DO IN ADDITION TO ENJOYING FOOD AND ZUMBA CLASSES.

AND THEN ALSO SATURDAY NIGHT HERE IN THE PLAZA ON THE 15TH, THERE WILL BE THE SELENA TRIBUTE BAND.

SO WE'D LOVE TO SEE A GREAT COMMUNITY TURNOUT FOR OUR FALL MUSIC SERIES.

COOL SOUNDS OF FALL.

I THINK IT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED.

I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK.

ON FACEBOOK, THERE WAS SOMETHING POSTED ABOUT OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND ONE INDIVIDUAL WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THEY DID SOMETHING.

AND I WANT TO THANK OUR COMMUNITY TO COME INTO THEIR RESCUE.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE THAT PERSON.

THE SUPPORT THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT IS TRULY AMAZING.

AND Y'ALL HAVE EARNED THIS.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT JUST PEOPLE DO.

YOU'RE ALWAYS A TARGET, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WANT MESS WITH OUR BOYS.

SO, YEAH, I'M PROUD OF Y'ALL AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF OUR CITIZENS.

SO THANK Y'ALL OUT THERE.

[00:50:06]

I'VE ASKED THE MAYOR TO GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING I THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AND IT'S TO MAKE A CLARIFICATION AND A CORRECTION OF SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

SOME OF YOU MAY BE AWARE, I KNOW AMANDA IS BECAUSE SHE AND I HAVE HAD AN EXTENDED DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.

AT THE END OF THE MEETING, WE WERE HAVING A DISCUSSION ON AN ITEM THAT WAS BEING SET FOR VOTE AND A CITIZEN HAD TURNED IN A CARD WANTING TO SPEAK AT THAT POINT.

AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DEBATE ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE COURSE BETWEEN COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT THE AGENDA ITEM.

AND THE MAYOR SAID, DO WE NEED TO LET THAT INDIVIDUAL SPEAK? AND I GAVE THE WRONG ANSWER.

THE CITY OF BURLESON HAS CHOSEN TO TAKE A COURSE THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN MOST OF THE CITIES IN NORTH TEXAS.

THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION ADOPTED A RULE THAT SAYS ANY CITIZEN NEEDS TO BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE OR DURING DISCUSSION ON ANY ITEM ON A COUNCIL OR BOARD AGENDA.

MOST CITIES, THE MAJORITY OF THEM, PUT A PROVISION IN THAT ALLOWS CITIZEN APPEARANCES EARLY IN THE MEETING, AND THERE IS A PROVISION THAT SAYS AFTER THE CITIZEN APPEARANCE SECTION IS CONCLUDED, CITIZENS MAY SPEAK ONLY IN REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARINGS.

ONE OF THE CITIES, YOUR SISTER CITIES, THE CITY OF MANSFIELD, HAS THAT PROVISION AND I HAD BEEN WORKING ON THAT EARLIER IN THE DAY.

WHEN THE ISSUE CAME UP THE MAYOR ASKED ME, DOES A CITIZEN NEED TO SPEAK AT THIS POINT? I SAID, IT'S UP TO THE PRESIDING OFFICER.

BUT THE GENERAL RULE IS NO, YOU SPEAK DURING CITIZEN APPEARANCES OR THAT ONLY IN PUBLIC HEARINGS, MS. CAMPOS WHO IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY CAPABLE AND THOROUGH CITY SECRETARY WHO I'VE WORKED WITH FOR MANY YEARS, SAID OUR AGENDA IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THOUGH WE HAVE SOME DIFFERENT RULES. AND I DIDN'T LOOK.

I SIMPLY WENT FROM MEMORY AND SAID, NO, NO, IT'S PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'RE PAST THE PUBLIC HEARING STAGE.

SO THE CITIZEN DID NOT GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

AND IN ESSENCE, I OVERRULED MS. CAMPOS READING OF THE AGENDA.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT AFTER THE MEETING AND WENT THROUGH IT TOGETHER.

AND BY GOLLY, SHE WAS RIGHT.

SHE WAS PAYING FAR MORE ATTENTION TO THE WORDING ON THE DOCUMENT THAN I WAS.

BURLESON HAS CHOSEN TO HAVE A BROADER RULE THAT SAYS A CITIZEN MAY SPEAK ON ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

THAT'S A MORE INCLUSIVE, MORE EXPANSIVE PROVISION THAT GIVES CITIZENS A BROADER OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

AND THAT'S A DECISION THE COUNCIL MADE.

BUT I DID MAKE AN INCORRECT CALL, AND I NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO MS. CAMPOS AND TO MR. JANIS, WHO I BELIEVE WAS A CITIZEN WHO WANTED TO SPEAK.

IF I MAKE A MISTAKE, IF ANY MEMBER OF THE STAFF MAKES A MISTAKE, WE NEED TO OWN IT AND CORRECT IT AND NOT LEAVE THE ISSUE HANGING.

SO MS. CAMPOS DID CORRECTLY INTERPRET IT, AND I DID NOT.

BUT I WANTED THE COUNCIL TO BE AWARE OF THAT.

SO IF THE ISSUE COMES UP AGAIN, WE WILL ALL KNOW WHAT THE RULE IS ABOUT PUBLIC SPEAKING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. TAYLOR. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION FOUR.

[A.Items to be continued or withdrawn.]

AT THIS TIME, CITY MANAGER LANGLEY.

I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE WITHDRAWING ITEM 9A WHICH IS A.

THAT'S CORRECT 9A.

WHICH IS A RESOLUTION FOR A REAL ESTATE CONTRACT TO PURCHASE 120 NORTH WEST NEWTON DRIVE HERE IN BURLESON.

SO CONSIDER THAT ITEM 9A WITHDRAWN FROM THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING.

THAT MOVES US ON TO ITEM 4B ITEMS TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR A SEPARATE DISCUSSION BY THE CITY COUNCIL, STAFF OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IN ATTENDANCE.

ITEMS TO BE ADDED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA REQUIRE AN OFFICIAL VOTE BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

IS THERE ANY STAFF OR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE AN ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR A SEPARATE DISCUSSION OR ADD AN ITEM ONTO THE CONSENT AGENDA? ANYONE.

ANY MEMBERS IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO DO THE SAME? THERE ARE NONE. SO THAT MOVES US ON TO SECTION 5 CITIZENS APPEARANCE.

[5. CITIZENS APPEARANCES]

SPEAKER CARD MUST BE FILLED OUT AND TURNED INTO THE CITY SECRETARY PRIOR TO ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL, AND EACH SPEAKER WILL BE ALLOWED 3 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

I DO HAVE TWO SPEAKER CARDS AT THIS TIME.

THE FIRST SPEAKER CARD IS BILL JANISH.

BILL JANISH

[00:55:04]

[INAUDIBLE] ONE LEFT.

WE DIDN'T NEED ANOTHER FREAK SHOW.

I'LL START OFF. LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH, MY.

THE LAST MEETING WAS A REAL S-H SHOW.

YOU GUYS KNOW IT YOU WERE HERE.

I BEGAN TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE CRAP THAT GOES ON HERE BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2020.

DID AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CITY SOME PEOPLE WITHIN THE CITY OF IGNORED IT.

THE STATE SHOW IS CONTINUED TO GO ON.

I'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF CRIMES AND STUFF LIKE THAT WHICH I'LL SEEK A LEGAL ROUTE TO REMEDY THAT.

I'LL CLEAR MY NAME AND THEN ALSO SEEK TO PRESS CHARGES ON THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES.

THOSE PICTURES INTRODUCED LAST WEEK.

FIRST PIC SHOWED A CAR NEXT TO MY TRUCK.

PRETTY GOOD WAYS BACK BEHIND MISS PAYNE'S CAR VEHICLE.

WHATEVER IT IS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE DRIVES OR COVER OR ANYTHING.

BUT IF YOU NOTICE IN THAT PICTURE, IN A REFLECTION IN HER GLASSES, THERE'S THREE VEHICLES NEXT TO HER.

THE NEXT PIC I'M RIGHT ON HER TAIL, THE SAME CAR STILL NEXT TO ME.

THE OTHER THREE VEHICLES ARE WAY IN FRONT.

THAT TELLS YOU TWO THINGS.

EITHER ALL FIVE VEHICLES PUNCHED THE GAS ALL AT THE SAME TIME OR SOMEBODY PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES.

WAS SHE TRYING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON PURPOSE? WHO KNOWS? TAMARA AND JIMMY THEY WENT WAY OVER THE TOP.

ALL KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ACCUSATIONS.

JIMMY KEPT QUOTING ABOUT RED FLAGS.

SO I GOT A RED FLAG HERE AND I'M PISSED.

YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE LET ME SPEAK LAST WEEK.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER ON YOU.

SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WAS SAID.

LET ME START OFF LIKE THIS.

WHEN THEY DID ABOUT CHRIS, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU STEPPING UP.

I THINK THAT YOU SEE THROUGH IT AND I SEE THAT YOU VOTED TO APPROVE ME FOR MY CHARACTER, FOR MY KNOWLEDGE AND ALL THAT STUFF.

VICTORIA, RICK, DAN, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TOO.

AND RONNIE. WE'RE NOT BLOOD RELATIVES.

MY DAD'S YOUNGEST BROTHER'S YOUNGEST SON IS MARRIED TO YOUR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER.

WE'RE RELATIVES THROUGH MARRIAGE.

THERE'S A LOT MORE I COULD SAY ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF TIME HERE.

IT'S REALLY SHAMEFUL AND UNFORTUNATE THAT IT HAS COME TO THIS.

YOU KNOW, SELFISH MOTIVES ARE IN PLAY NOT JUST TO WRECK MY CHARACTER, BUT TO WRECK MY BUSINESS.

LAST WEEK, I LOST A $57,000 JOB TWO DAYS AFTER THIS.

LEGALLY, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO PAY FOR THAT.

TAMARA AND JIMMY BOTH LED, YOU KNOW, LIED AND CREATED FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND NARRATIVES.

CRIMINAL NATURE LEADS ME, NO DOUBT, NO CHOICE BUT TO PROVE MYSELF INNOCENT, LIKE I SAID, LEGALLY AND TO PROSECUTE.

EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONDUCT OF THESE TWO.

I WARNED ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME.

LIARS AND SLANDERS, LIBEL, OH MY.

I DO HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER CARD.

SUSAN CATO.

SUSAN CATO 822 [INAUDIBLE] I'M GOING TO KIND OF BACKPACK OFF BILL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST MEETING BEING COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

AND THE FACT THAT SHE HAS STORMED OUT AGAIN JUST SHOWS HER IMMATURE NATURE.

SHE STORMED OUT AS SOON AS HE STARTED TALKING.

SHE DID THAT LAST WEEK WHEN YOU GUYS WERE VOTING OR TWO WEEKS AGO.

THAT'S IMMATURE. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE FROM A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.

SIT HERE, DO YOUR JOB.

YOU SIGNED UP FOR THIS.

THEY BROUGHT ABOUT ALL THESE RED FLAGS.

BUT LET'S TURN THE TABLES AND TALK ABOUT THE RED FLAGS WITH TAMARA AND JIMMY.

AND I WISH HE WOULD BE HERE TO HEAR THIS.

HOPEFULLY, HE'LL WATCH THE MEETING LATER.

SOME RED FLAGS FOR TAMARA SECRETLY RECORDING CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN FELLOW CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THEN SHARING THEM PUBLICLY DURING EARLY VOTING TO SWAY VOTES.

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN WITHOUT ANY PROOF.

HER HUSBAND TAKING PICTURES OF CITIZENS VEHICLES AT CITY HALL AND STALKING PRIVATE BUSINESSES, AND THEN HER SISTER SPREADING MISINFORMATION, TAKING PICTURES OF PEOPLE PRIVATE AREA AND SHARING IT ON FACEBOOK.

WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HER? YOU WANT TO CALL OTHER PEOPLE OUT.

SHE SHOULD BE CALLED OUT AS WELL.

AND THEN THE LIST FOR JIMMY IS EVEN LONGER, UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE HIM COMPARING BILL, WHO'S A WONDERFUL MAN WHO DOES VOLUNTEER WORK FOR THE CITY, WHO DOES VOLUNTEER WORK FOR PRIVATE CITIZENS WITHOUT ANY CAMERAS, ANY PHOTO OPS, BUT HE DOES IT OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART, DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE COMPARED TO A POSSIBLE ASSASSINATION.

THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE.

BUT IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW JUST THREE, TWO AND A HALF WEEKS AGO, JIMMY POSTED A FACEBOOK VIDEO ON HIS COUNCIL PAGE, HIS GOVERNMENT COUNCIL PAGE THAT WAS SEXUAL IN NATURE.

HE DELETED IT PROBABLY ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR LATER.

BUT WE GOT THE SCREENSHOTS OF THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS ALSO INAPPROPRIATE.

[01:00:04]

SO IS HE PLAYING ON HIS PHONE DURING EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OR IS SOMEONE ELSE RUNNING HIS FACEBOOK PAGE? I THINK WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS BECAUSE WE SHOULD KNOW WHO WE'RE TALKING TO IF IT'S NOT THE COUNCIL MEMBER.

JUST RECENTLY, HIS SON WAS ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING AT A HIGH SCHOOL, AND HIS WIFE LIKES TO SAY THAT ON FACEBOOK THAT THE DIVIDE IN THE CITY IS CAUSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE TOO LONG AND THEIR CRONIES, WHICH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE ALL OF YOU GUYS SITTING HERE, I CAN'T FIND ANY DIRT ABOUT YOU.

I'VE SEEN NOTHING BUT POSITIVE NON DRAMA CONFRONTATIONS, EVEN WITH THE MAYOR, WHO I DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH, BUT HE DOESN'T CAUSE DRAMA LIKE PAYNE AND STANFORD DO, WHICH I APPRECIATE IT. CURRENTLY, JIMMY'S WIFE IS IN COURT PROCEEDINGS FOR ASSAULTING THEIR DAUGHTER.

THE DAUGHTER ADVISED THAT JIMMY THIS IS FROM HER ARREST WARRANT, QUOTE UNQUOTE, DAUGHTER ADVISED THAT JIMMY AND DEFENDANT JIMMY BACKED DAUGHTER AGAINST THE WALL.

THEN WHEN JIMMY SHOWED THE OFFICERS THE VIDEO, HE STOPPED IT RIGHT BEFORE THE ASSAULT AND THEN DIDN'T SHOW THE PROOF UNTIL LATER.

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS? BECAUSE IT'S ENOUGH.

THOSE ARE ALL THE SPEAKER CARDS THAT I HAVE AT THIS TIME.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING CITIZEN'S APPEARANCE? OKAY. I SEE NONE.

[6. CONSENT AGENDA]

ALL ITEMS LISTED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION.

THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THE ITEMS. APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO IMPLEMENT EACH ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEMS 6A THROUGH 6R.

MAYOR, IF YOU COULD ASK FOR A MOTION FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND.

MOTION FROM RONNIE AND A SECOND FROM VICTORIA, PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 7, THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS, 7A 4139 SOUTH BURLESON BOULEVARD CASE

[7A. 4139 S Burleson Blvd (Case 22-122): Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance for a zoning change request from “A”, Agricultural to “I”, Industrial for a 4.13 acre site. (First and Final Reading) (Staff Presenter: Tony Mcilwain, Director of Development Services) (The Planning and Zoning Commission motion for approval passed 4-1).]

THIS IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE FOR A ZONING CHANGE REQUEST FROM A AGRICULTURE TO I INDUSTRIAL FOR A 4.13 ACRE SITE.

THIS IS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON FIRST AND FINAL READING.

THE STAFF PRESENTED THIS EVENING AS TONI MCILWAIN, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

MR. MCILWAIN.

THANK YOU, MS. CAMPOS.

WE'LL JUST GIVE A SECOND. SO COUNCIL, THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT DOES INVOLVE THE REZONE OF THIS SUBJECT TRACT LOCATED AT 4139 SOUTH BURLESON BOULEVARD.

THE OWNER, DANIEL WELLING, IS PETITIONING YOU FOR INDUSTRIAL ZONING.

THE CURRENT ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IS DEFAULT AGRICULTURAL, MEANING THAT'S THE ZONING THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO STRUCTURES ON THE SITE, BOTH BUILT IN THE 1990S.

THERE'S A 4000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING FOR WAREHOUSE/OFFICE USE AND A SLIGHTLY LARGER BUILDING OF 5000 SQUARE FEET FOR WAREHOUSE USE.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOWS THIS AREA AS EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTERS.

SOME OF THE CORRESPONDING ZONING DISTRICTS INCLUDE INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY AND THE GRAPHIC TO THE RIGHT SHOWS THE EXISTING ZONING THAT BEING AGRICULTURAL AND GREEN.

WE NOTIFIED THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALSO PUBLISHED OUR PUBLIC HEARING IN THE NEWSPAPER AND POSTED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY.

WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER OF OPPOSITION FROM A PROPERTY OWNER.

THAT LETTER HAS BEEN SUPPLIED TO YOU IN HARD COPY.

THAT LETTER WAS SUBMITTED BY MS. LAURA MANNING HIGH REPRESENTING MANNING'S FORUM FARM LTD.

NOW WE JUST WANT TO GET THAT IN THE RECORD.

WE DID ACKNOWLEDGE THIS LETTER WITH THE SENDING PARTY.

WHEN THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION, IT WAS A 4 TO 1 VOTE TO SUPPORT THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING REQUEST.

[01:05:07]

THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WAS A MODIFICATION OF THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FROM STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THE PURPOSE OF WHICH WOULD BE TO ESSENTIALLY RESTRICT SOME OF THE HIGHER, MORE INTENSIVE LAND USES ASSOCIATED WITH INDUSTRIAL ZONING.

WE'VE GOT SOME OF THOSE LAND USES THERE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES THIS PRESENTATION.

I LIKE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE PRIOR TO OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYBODY? TONY IS IT RESIDENTIAL AROUND THE PROPERTY OR AT THE BACK? IS THAT THE ONE THAT'S NOT ON IT? THAT PROPERTY IS ZONED.

THAT PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY, JUST A SECOND.

OKAY. WE NOTIFIED IN THE ETJ.

SO THAT PROPERTY IS NOT ZONED BUT IS USED FOR AN EQUESTRIAN FACILITY RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. ANYBODY? IF THE ADJOINING PIECES OF PROPERTY ARE AGRICULTURAL.

CORRECT. BUT THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR INDUSTRIAL.

EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE ZONED AG.

YES, YOU DO HAVE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE OCCURRING ON THOSE PROPERTIES.

THAT IS NOT AN AGRICULTURAL LAND USE.

AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS DEFAULT ZONING.

SO THESE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ZONING ESSENTIALLY PLACED ON THE PROPERTY BY THE CITY.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST INITIATED REQUEST BY THE PROPERTY OWNER.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

WE DID A BUFFER ANALYSIS BASED ON THE RESPONDING PARTY IN OPPOSITION AND THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY REQUIREMENTS IN STATE LAW WHEN THERE'S A PROTEST.

HOWEVER, THAT DOES MY UNDERSTANDING IN TALKING TO OUR ATTORNEY IS THAT THAT'S NOT APPLICABLE IN THIS CASE BECAUSE IT'S THE INITIAL REQUEST. AND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE THERE WITH CASE LAW REGARDING AMENDMENTS VERSUS REZONED REQUEST.

AND I MAY BE PHRASING THAT WRONG, BUT SO THIS WOULD NOT REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY VOTING POSTURE FROM YOU ALL TONIGHT.

A SIMPLE MAJORITY WOULD SUFFICE.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF THEM COMING FOR A ZONING CHANGE REQUEST BECAUSE THERE'S EXISTING BUSINESSES ON THIS PROPERTY.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK INITIATED THIS? IS IT FUTURE PLANS? SO RIGHT NOW EVERYTHING IS SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.

THE [INAUDIBLE] MAY HAVE MORE DEFINITIVE INFORMATION FOR YOU TONIGHT, BUT OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING TO MARKET PROPERTY, THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ENTITLEMENTS ARE IN PLACE TO DO THE USES THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE DONE ON THE PROPERTY.

SO ANY OF THESE ADJOINING PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALSO ZONED AG BUT HAVE SOMETHING ON IT TO DO TO MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CHANGE TO CHANGE THE BUSINESS THAT'S THERE NOW WOULD THEY HAVE TO COME BEFORE US AND HAVE A ZONING REQUEST CHANGE? YES. SO WHAT YOU HAVE THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT PROBABLY IS THE INSTIGATING ELEMENT OF THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST, THE EXISTING BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOCATED ON THOSE LOTS THAT ARE ZONED AGRICULTURAL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE WITH EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE GOT RIGHT NOW.

IF THEY WANT TO ADD ANY ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS, IF THEY WANT TO MAKE AN EXPANSION TO THE BUSINESS, AND IF THEY WENT TO A LENDING INSTITUTION TO ATTEMPT TO BORROW MONEY TO MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY'RE A ZONING COMPLIANT.

SO AS TIME PASSES, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE SEEING OTHER COMPARABLE REQUESTS TO BRING THE DEVELOPMENT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH OUR ZONING ORDINANCE IN ORDER TO ALLOW FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

AND MR. MCILWAIN IS CORRECT.

THE TEXAS COURTS HAVE HELD THAT IF WE HAVE AN INITIAL DEFAULT ZONING, THEN THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUPERMAJORITY VOTES ARE NOT VALID OR ENFORCEABLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NEVER A PERMANENT ZONING PLACED ON THE PROPERTY.

AND I KNOW THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDING THAT WE LOOK AT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH A BASE ZONING OF INDUSTRIAL.

IS THAT SOMETHING, SAY THE NEXT DOOR PROPERTY?

[01:10:04]

SURE. SO IN FULL DISCLOSURE, WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE TO THE CITY, THERE WAS AN INDUSTRIAL ZONING CASE THAT I RECOMMENDED THAT THE STAFF RECOMMEND AS STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING.

LOOKING BACK IN HINDSIGHT, I THINK THAT THERE ARE SOME USES THAT ARE ALLOWABLE IN INDUSTRIAL THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY COEXIST IN A WAY WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SURROUNDING USES.

SO IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT, WE INITIALLY STARTED OUT WITH SUPPORTIVE OF INDUSTRIAL USES AS HE REQUESTED.

THEN AS FURTHER DISCUSSIONS OCCURRED, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MORE PRUDENT TO RESTRICT SOME OF THOSE USES UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT WE COULD UPDATE OUR ZONING CODE.

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, HE IS STILL INTERESTED IN PURSUING BASELINE INDUSTRIAL ZONING.

WE'RE SUPPORTIVE OF MOST OF THE USES THAT RULE OUT INDUSTRIAL RIGHT NOW, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.

BUT THAT ZONING DISTRICT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IF YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IT, AS ARE SOME MORE RESTRICTIVE ZONING DISTRICTS SUCH AS BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY AND COMMERCIAL AS WELL.

THANK YOU. SO CAN WE ACT ON THIS TONIGHT BY APPROVING THE BASE ZONING OF INDUSTRIAL, BUT RESTRICTING THE USES THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS WE EXCLUDE ON THAT PROPERTY? OR IS THAT GOING TO REQUIRE THEM GOING BACK OUT AND APPLYING FOR A PD? YOU CAN DO IT ONLY, YOU AS A COUNCIL CAN CHOOSE TO APPROVE THE I ZONING OR ANY LESSER INCLUDED ZONING UNDER THE ZONING STATUTORY NOTICE.

A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT IS A LESSER INCLUDED USE.

IF YOU AGREE WITH THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, YOU CAN APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE USES PERMITTED AS IDENTIFIED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND MEMO.

BUT THAT WOULDN'T PLACE A I ZONING DISTRICT IN PLACE OF PD ZONING USES BUT WOULD RESTRICT SOME.

OKAY. WELL BEFORE WE DO THAT, IS THE APPLICANT AWARE THAT THAT MIGHT BE AN OUTCOME OF THIS, OR DO WE NEED TO KICK THE ITEM BACK AND LET HIM COME BACK WITH A PD REQUEST? WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT AND THIS WAS THE SAME RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

SO THAT MUCH WE'VE NOT CHANGED, BUT THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR THE BASELINE ZONING OF INDUSTRIAL.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I DO HAVE A SPEAKER CARD HERE FROM A GENTLEMAN THAT I BELIEVE IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OK.

SO, MAYOR, IF YOU COULD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:15.

CALL FORWARD COLLIN MAYHER.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS COLIN MAYHER.

I GIVE MY ADDRESS. IS THAT RIGHT? 2501 MOUNTAIN VIEW ROAD, JOSHUA.

YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO.

YOU KNOW, I WAS HERE FOR THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING AND DISCUSSION FOR THIS PROPERTY AND WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.

ULTIMATELY, WE WOULD LIKE TO JUST CONTINUE WITH THE STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL CHANGE FOR ZONING.

IT IS, TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, YOU KNOW, CURRENTLY THERE IS NOTHING PROHIBITING, JUST AN INDUSTRIAL ZONING.

AND I BELIEVE DURING THE LAST COUNCIL SESSION IT WAS STATED THAT OTHER REQUESTS HAD BEEN GRANTED IN SIMILAR INSTANCES FOR INDUSTRIAL ZONING.

I THINK IT WAS BACK IN JULY IN THIS SAME GENERAL AREA.

AND I MEAN, AND IF THAT'S NOT ACCURATE, THEN BUT I BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS STATED LAST TIME.

AND, YOU KNOW, IN REGARDS TO THE ONE PROTEST, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE HERE TONIGHT, BUT IF OBVIOUSLY IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO TALK WITH US ABOUT POTENTIALLY PUTTING UP A PRIVACY FENCE OR SOME OTHER THING THAT WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON FOR PRIVACY IN REGARDS TO BUSINESS THERE, WE'D CERTAINLY BE OPEN TO DISCUSSING THAT WITH THEM. SO SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.

I THINK WE HAVE THE DISCRETION HERE TO APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST.

[01:15:03]

THERE'S GENERALLY A USE IN MIND APPROVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AS FAR AS INDUSTRIAL ZONING GOES WITHOUT A PROPOSED USE, IN MIND TELLS ME THAT A POTENTIAL SUBSEQUENT OWNER OR TENANT WOULD COME UP WITH A USE IN MIND THAT WE WOULDN'T LIKE AT ALL.

BUT IT'S APPROVED BY RIGHT BECAUSE WE PUT THE ZONING ON IT AT THIS POINT.

SO I THINK IF IT MAKES YOUR PROPERTY MORE MARKETABLE, GOOD FOR YOU.

BUT I THINK I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ON THE RISK OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY BY TRYING TO MAKE YOUR PROPERTY MORE VALUABLE.

SURE. YEAH. AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR REQUEST, AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT THAT AN INDUSTRIAL ZONING CATEGORY COULD BE VERY MUCH APPROPRIATE FOR THIS.

BUT THERE ARE THINGS PERMITTED UNDER THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING CATEGORY, PERMITTED BY RIGHT THAT I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE HERE.

SURE. SO.

THE WE HAVE RECEIVED. HOWEVER YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK AS A PD REQUEST WITH THE MODIFICATIONS THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT I SUPPORT AS WELL, THEN I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO LOOK AT THAT.

BUT I THINK WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN THERE, I THINK ASKING FOR I ZONING IS A LITTLE BIT MORE BROAD THAN I'M WILLING TO SUPPORT.

ANYBODY ELSE? IF I CAN JUST COMMENT ON THAT.

THE REQUESTS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED HAVE BEEN STRICTLY INDUSTRIAL.

WE HAVE A COUNTERTOP FABRICATION COMPANY THAT HAS MADE INQUIRIES ON FOR LEASING THE PROPERTY IN THE WAREHOUSE SPACE.

AND I BELIEVE WE'VE HAD ONE OR TWO OTHER REQUESTS THAT WOULD FIT INTO THE, LET'S CALL IT THE LESS INVASIVE OR LESS YOU KNOW HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.

I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE TERMS THAT WERE UP THERE AND MOST OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ON THERE AS FAR AS GAS WELLS AND THE MAJORITY OF OR ALL OF THE RAILROAD TYPE RESTRICTIONS WOULD BE INCREDIBLY COST PROHIBITIVE FOR US.

YEAH SURE. BUT ULTIMATELY, WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO NOT, YOU KNOW, SHOEHORN OURSELVES INTO OR VOLUNTARILY RESTRICT SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO RESTRICT OURSELVES ON.

BUT MOST EVERYTHING THAT IS UP THERE WOULD BE VERY COST PROHIBITIVE TO USE ON THAT PROPERTY.

BUT THE REQUESTS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED HAVE JUST BEEN JUST BASIC INDUSTRIAL USE.

WITHOUT AN ADJACENT RAILROAD, I THINK MOST OF THE RAILROAD USES ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

BUT. RIGHT. YES.

I MEAN, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT AN I MODIFIED THAT TAKES THESE POSSIBLE USES OFF. SO IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND NOW GOES TO ANY OF THESE OBJECTIONABLE USES.

SO I WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPORT A MODIFIED OR AN INDUSTRIAL ZONING WITH THE SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE ON THIS LIST HERE IN FRONT OF US.

IF YOU WANT TO GET THAT.

I WOULD PROBABLY JUST LIKE TO.

AS FAR AS FOR ME RIGHT NOW, JUST AS A REPRESENTATIVE, I WOULD JUST STICK WITH THE WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS PUSHING FOR JUST THE STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE. JUST FOR ME AS A REPRESENTATIVE BEING HERE THAT'S PROBABLY ALL I CAN I CAN SAY AT THE MOMENT.

AND AGAIN, JUST TO SPEAK WITH THE PROTESTING PROPERTY OWNER FOR MAKING ALLOWANCES FOR HELPING THEM IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN.

OFFERING OTHER POSSIBILITIES.

I DON'T MEAN TO HIJACK THE MEETING HERE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO, YOU WANT TO HOLD UP ON THIS AND LOOK AT IT LATER ON IN THE MEETING TONIGHT IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT YOUR OWNER AND SEE IF THEY'D GO WITH THAT OR IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR A STRAIGHT UP VOTE, WE CAN CALL FOR A STRAIGHT UP VOTE.

IT'S WHATEVER'S MOST PRODUCTIVE FOR EVERYBODY.

I'M FINE WITH THAT. DAN MAKES A GOOD POINT ON THIS.

WE KIND OF OPEN OURSELVES UP TO UNDESIRABLES.

AND THAT'S NOT A REFLECTION ON YOU IT IS NOT, BUT WE'VE BEEN IN THESE SITUATIONS BEFORE, AND WE'RE HAVING ZONING SITUATIONS RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT OURSELVES.

BUT THIS IS RIGHT ON 35.

SURE. YEAH. NO, I WANT TO RESPECT THAT.

THAT'S MY POINT, MAYOR. YOU KNOW, YEAH, WE HAVE A ZONING CATEGORY THAT ALLOWS SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES IN INDUSTRIAL ZONING, AND I THINK WE'RE

[01:20:01]

BUT WITH THAT SAID, SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES, IF THEY DO EXIST, SHOULD BE IN INDUSTRIAL AREAS, BUT NOT ON MAIN CORRIDORS INTO AND OUT OF THE CITY. AND THAT'S WHY I'M SUGGESTING THAT WE GO WITH A MODIFIED ZONING THAT PROHIBITS THESE PARTICULAR USES.

WE CAN BRING IT BACK AT A LATER DATE IF YOUR OWNER WANTS TO CONSIDER THAT POSSIBILITY OR AS I SAID EARLIER, WE CAN VOTE IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

YES, SIR. TONY.

COUNCIL I JUST WANT TO JUST MAKE THE APPLICANT AWARE.

IF YOU ARE REQUESTING A VOTE AND THE VOTE IS TO DISAPPROVE YOUR REQUEST, YOU WOULD START THE ZONING PROCESS OVER AGAIN.

WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF AND START FROM WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT.

SO COUNCIL AS YOU ARE AWARE, WITH THOSE USES THAT WE HAVE LISTED, SOME OF YOU MAY FEEL COMFORTABLE.

SOME OF THOSE USES BEING INCLUDED IF YOU CONSIDER THE OPTION OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THE APPLICANT AGENT IS INTERESTED IN THAT RIGHT NOW.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT.

OKAY. SO THEN THE CHOICES ARE TABLE IT TO ANOTHER MEETING AND RECONSIDER.

OR IS HE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND START OVER ANYWAY ABOUT THE MODIFICATIONS? I THINK THE MORE PRUDENT COURSE OF ACTION, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH THE NEIGHBOR, WOULD BE TO PERHAPS TABLE THIS TO SEE IF THERE'S MORE DISCUSSION ALSO WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER BUT IS YOUR DECISION.

I GUESS WE CAN WE CAN CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT TONIGHT, LATER ON, LATER ON IN THE MEETING THIS EVENING OR I DON'T YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL ME HOW IT WORKS.

I THINK WHAT HE'S ASKING YOU IS, DO YOU WANT TO TABLE IT TO A DATE CERTAIN TO A FUTURE MEETING THAT WE COULD HAVE AT A FUTURE MEETING.

WE COULD ALSO DO IT THIS EVENING, IF YOU'D PREFER.

IF YOU NEED A BREAK TO GO TALK TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

WE CAN CERTAINLY MOVE YOU TO THE END OF THE AGENDA AND THEN GIVE YOU ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO INDULGE THAT.

DO I NEED TO COME OUT OF THE PUBLIC HEARING? WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING THEN.

THAT WILL MOVE US OFF OF THAT ITEM.

THEN WE'LL MOVE ON.

AND AT THIS TIME, FOR INTEREST OF THOSE ATTENDING OUR MEETING FROM OUTSIDE OUR STAFF, WE WILL BE MOVING TO GENERAL SECTION NINE AND MOVING UP ITEM NINE C THIS IS TO CONSIDER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A FIVE YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH

[9C. Consider approval of a five-year professional services contract with Dr. Joseph Cordova to serve as the Medical Director for the City of Burleson in the amount not to exceed $300,000. (Staff Presenter: K.T. Freeman, Fire Chief]

THE STAFF PRESENTED TONIGHT IS FIRE CHIEF K.T.

FREEMAN, CHIEF FREEMAN.

THANK YOU, AMANDA. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL KATIE FREEMAN, FIRE CHIEF.

AND THIS IS AN EXCITING NIGHT FOR ME AS WELL AS OUR PARTNERS.

THIS HAS BEEN A LOT OF WORK IN THE MAKING.

AND AGAIN, WE'VE GOT SOME EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE WITH YOU AND THE COMMUNITY.

I'VE GOT SEVERAL OBJECTIVES THAT WE'LL COVER TONIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER HIGH LEVEL PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS OF DR.

CORDOVA, GO OVER THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THAT ARE GOING TO BE REALLY SPECIFIC TO OUR MEDICAL DIRECTOR.

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR REVIEW OF OUR SELECTION PROCESS, AS WELL AS THE SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT'S PROPOSED FROM DR.

CORDOVA IN THE CITY AS WELL.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP THAT I'M GOING TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT WITH TEXAS HEALTH BURLESON AND THEN TEXAS HEALTH HARRIS METHODIST FORT WORTH.

IF THE COUNCIL'S PLEASURE, I'D LIKE TO, AFTER I GET THROUGH MY PRESENTATION, INTRODUCE YOU TO DR.

CORDOVA, HAVE HIM COME UP AND SHARE A FEW WORDS WITH YOU, AS WELL AS THE PRESIDENT OF TEXAS HEALTH HARRIS METHODIST FORT WORTH, MR. JOSEPH DELEON.

AND WE ALSO HAVE IN ATTENDANCE BLAKE WINDHAM, WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF TEXAS HEALTH BURLESON, AS WELL AS TEXAS HEALTH.

A LOT OF TEXAS HEALTH.

TEXAS HEALTH [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN THEY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL STAFF THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT WITH US TO THIS MEETING.

SO I THINK IT JUST SHOWS THE SOLID PARTNERSHIP AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO EMBARK UPON.

I'M GOING TO GO OVER THE QUALIFICATIONS OF DR.

JOSEPH CORDOVA, M.D.

THESE ARE JUST HIGH LEVEL, BUT TO SAY THE LEAST, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAY DR.

CORDOVA IS LICENSED AND HE'S IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD.

HE IS A PRACTICING MEDICAL MEDICAL EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN.

[01:25:04]

IF YOU GO TO YOUR DOCTOR FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL VISITS.

SO IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT I'LL EXPOUND UPON JUST A SECOND OF DR.

CORDOVA'S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE.

THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE] FOR HELPING US VET ALL OF THE THERE ARE A LOT OF EXTENSIVE REQUIREMENTS IN THE TEXAS GOVERNMENTAL CODE.

DR. CORDOVA MEETS THOSE IS SUPER IMPORTANT AS WELL.

AS I'VE NOTED, HE SERVES ON THE STAFF OF SEVERAL OF THE TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCE HOSPITALS, AS WELL AS TEXAS HEALTH BURLESON FOR US, NOT US.

BUT IF WE'VE GOT ANY GUNS UP RED RAIDER FANS OR ALUM, HE'S GRADUATED FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL.

THERE YOU GO TO LUBBOCK.

AND THEN HE COMPLETED A FELLOWSHIP IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE, MEDICINE AT JPS.

AND ALL OF US THAT ARE FROM THIS AREA, WE CERTAINLY KNOW THE EXPERIENCE, THE QUICK EXPERIENCE AND VAST EXPERIENCE YOU GET AT JPS AND ESPECIALLY IN THAT EMERGENCY ROOM, IT'S THE COUNTY HOSPITAL, HE'S BOARD CERTIFIED AND THEN HE HAS BEEN THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR, STILL IS THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR AZLE FIRE AND EMS SINCE 2012.

AND THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU IN THE COMMUNITY IS HE'S BEEN THERE TEN YEARS AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I LEARNED THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING IS EVEN THOUGH AZLE IS A SMALLER COMMUNITY THAN US, THEIR FIRE EMS DEPARTMENT PROVIDES SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY THAT THEY'RE IN, AND THEY ACTUALLY PARALLEL THE AMOUNT OF CALLS THAT WE RUN, ACTUALLY, AND ABOUT THE SAME TRANSPORT.

SO I WAS VERY PLEASED WHEN WE FOUND THAT OUT AND WHEN WE STARTED VETTING DR.

CORDOVA AND DIALOG WITH HIM THAT HE'S IN A PROGRAM, HE'S IN A SYSTEM THAT IS JUST PARALLELS US.

SO I'M VERY, VERY PLEASED ABOUT THAT AND FEEL FREE TO STOP ME AT ANY TIME.

OF COURSE, AS AS ALWAYS, IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS, I WANT TO GO OVER SOME IMPORTANT DUTIES AND AGAIN, HIGH LEVEL PRIMARY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR OUR MEDICAL DIRECTOR.

GOING BACK TO WHEN WE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH DIFFERENT VARIOUS MEETINGS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SHARED WITH THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY THAT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO US AND A NEED THAT WE SAID WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR HIGHEST GOALS WAS TO BRING IN A MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND BRING IN A SYSTEM THAT WAS BURLESON CENTRIC.

SO THAT TRANSITION, THAT COMPARISON FROM THE LARGE SYSTEM THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN, THAT HAS TO SHARE A LOT OF RESOURCES AND TIME AND EFFORTS.

WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED THIS IN TONIGHT'S PROPOSAL.

THIS IS BURLESON CENTRIC AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.

SOME OF THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES THAT DR.

CORDOVA IS GOING TO BE TASKED WITH AND COMPLETING IS AGAIN, HE WILL BE THE SOLE MEDICAL.

MEDICAL AUTHORITY IN THE CITY LIMITS OF BURLESON INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.

HE'S GOING TO ESTABLISH THE PATIENT CARE STANDARDS THAT I'VE GOT NOTICE NOTED FOR ALL OF OUR MEDICAL SERVICES.

HE'S GOING TO DEVELOP PROTOCOLS.

HE'S GOING TO BE CREDENTIALING OUR FIREFIGHTERS, OUR EMTS, OUR PARAMEDICS.

HE'LL BE DEVELOPING OUR MEDICAL POLICIES FOR ALL OF OUR MEDICAL SERVICES.

AND THAT'S GOING TO INCLUDE AS WE MOVE INTO THE FUTURE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE NUANCES.

WE'RE GOING TO BE TREATING PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES.

WE'VE TALKED EXTENSIVELY IN THE PAST ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY PARAMEDIC PROGRAM THAT WE WANT TO GET UP AND RUNNING.

HE'LL BE OVER ALL OF THAT.

SO ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES IN THE CITY OF BURLESON AND OUR FIRE EMS, DR.

CORDOVA, WILL HAVE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.

HE'S GOING TO BE HELPING US DEVELOP PERFORMANCE METRICS, INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, AGAIN, GOING BACK TO RESPONSE TIMES AND THEN THE TIMES WHEN WE HAVE CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS OF HOW QUICKLY DO WE INITIATE AND EXECUTE THE MEDICAL PROCEDURES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE INVOLVED WITH AS WE DO, ESPECIALLY ADVANCED CARE.

AND FROM A CLINICAL STANDPOINT, HE'LL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHARING WITH US HIS RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S ON OUR AMBULANCES CURRENT AND ANY KIND OF FUTURE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SHARE WITH DR.

CORDOVA IS WE WANT TO BE CUTTING EDGE OUT FRONT.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE'RE COUNTING ON HIM TO HELP KEEP US IN THAT NUANCE, SO TO SPEAK FOR FRAMEWORK.

HE'LL ALSO BE PROVIDING MEDICAL DIRECTION, AS WE DISCUSSED IN OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS, FOR OUR MERCY MEDICAL DISPATCH WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS FOLKS.

HE'LL BE OVER THAT.

HE'LL BE REVIEWING PROTOCOLS.

HE'LL BE LOOKING AT OUR EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH PROTOCOLS, BYSTANDER CPR, THOSE THINGS THAT'S GOING TO BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

HE'LL BE WORKING WITH PAUL BRADLEY AND HIS GROUP OVER IN OUR COMMUNICATION CENTER.

AND THEN MY LAST POINT IS HE WILL BE MONITORING AND THIS WILL BE ON A BASICALLY A DAILY PROGRAM THAT HE'S GOING TO BE LOOKING AT OUR CLINICAL

[01:30:03]

HE'LL BE DOING A DAILY QA, QI WITH US AS WELL.

SO VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THE BURLESON CENTRALITY OF IT.

ALL RIGHT, ANYBODY? GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY.

WELL, WE TOOK THE APPROACH OF SHARING HERE IN THIS.

WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH SOFTWARE, BUT WE'RE DEALING WITH A MEDICAL DIRECTOR.

AND SO I PUT A LOT OF HUMOR IN THIS BECAUSE WE JUST DIDN'T GO AT THIS HAPPENSTANCE.

WE DIDN'T SPIN THE WHEEL OR CROSS OUR FINGERS.

WE WENT THROUGH A VERY RIGOROUS SELECTION PROCESS THAT I'LL SHARE WITH YOU.

THIS ALL BEGAN BACK REALLY PRIOR TO EARLY SUMMER, BUT WE STARTED THE FORMALITY IN THE EARLY SUMMER WITH DR.

MARTIN AND MYSELF, CASEY AND JOSH.

AND WE HAD ACTUALLY WE HAD A LOT OF HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX.

WE HAD DIFFERENT PHYSICIANS, INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIANS.

WE HAD PRIVATE FIRMS THAT REACHED OUT TO US, PROBABLY SEVEN OR EIGHT IN TOTAL.

AND WE BEGAN MEETING WITH THEM ONE ON ONE.

WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE NOTED HERE IS THAT WHAT THE THE MEETING SERVED AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REALLY GET DOWN INTO THE GRANULAR ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WE WANT TO GO AND THE EXPECTATIONS.

SO AS I'VE NOTED HERE, SOME OF THE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS WHERE ARE WE AT RIGHT NOW AND OUR CALL VOLUME.

AND THEN IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHARE UPFRONT WITH ANYONE WE TALKED TO DURING THIS PERIOD, OUR VISION FOR THE BURLESON FIRE AND EMS RESPONSE THAT THAT TRANSITION MODEL TO A TRANSPORT.

AS I SAID, WE TALKED VERY CLEARLY ABOUT THE WE FRONTLOADED IT HEAVILY ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

TIME, COMMITMENT, INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AS WE'LL GET TO IN JUST A MOMENT THAT WE'VE SHARED AND A PERSONAL WILLINGNESS.

LIKE I SAID, WE MADE IT VERY CLEAR WITH ANYBODY WE TALKED TO, WE WANT YOUR ATTENTION.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR, BURLESON CENTRIC.

WE WANT YOUR WE WANT ACCESS TO YOU.

WE WANT RESPONSIVENESS.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE AFFORDED AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD AN EMS SYSTEM FROM THE GROUND UP.

AND THAT'S VERY EXCITING.

AND DR. CORDOVA SAID, ABSOLUTELY, I CAN DO THIS.

I'M EXCITED TO PARTICIPATE AND I'LL LET HIM SHARE HIS OWN WORDS IN JUST A SECOND.

WE ALSO MADE IT VERY CLEAR WE WANTED AVAILABILITY TO TEACH TRAIN RIDE OUT WITH OUR PERSONNEL.

DR. CORDOVA IF APPROVED BY COUNCIL, WE'LL BE RIDING OUT WITH OUR PERSONNEL ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS TO ACTUALLY BE ON CALLS AND TO OBSERVE.

AND THEN WE ALSO WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET A FEEL FROM THE CANDIDATE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF REVIEWING ANY KIND OF SENTINEL MEDICAL EVENTS.

BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE AND PERFECTION, THERE ARE GOING TO BE TIMES WHERE WE MISS THAT MARK.

AND WHEN WE DO, WE NEED TO KNOW THE METHODOLOGY AND THE PROCESS AND APPROACH OF HOW IF WE HAVE TO REMEDIATE OR EVEN MORE, WHAT'S THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE? AND SO THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

AND WE HAVE A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF COMFORT LEVEL TO DR.

CORDOVA BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY BEEN IN A SYSTEM THAT WHEN MISTAKES ARE MADE, HOW DO YOU VET THOSE AND HOW DO YOU WORK THROUGH WITH WITH THE AGENCY? THE RFQ OPENED UP IN MID-JULY.

WE CLOSED EARLY AUGUST AND WE DID GET TWO RFQ RESPONSES.

AND THAT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE PROBABLY HAD SEVEN OR EIGHT, BUT WE FRONTLOADED THIS.

WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS AND PEOPLE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY WEIGH OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO MEET OUR OUR OUR RIGORS.

AND SO THE EVALUATION CRITERIA, 30% FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND OF COURSE, 25% FOR THE EXPERIENCE, THE METHODOLOGY IS WHAT I SAID EARLIER.

WE WANTED TO KNOW THE METHODOLOGY.

HOW DO YOU TEACH, HOW DO YOU TRAIN, HOW DO YOU REMEDIATE, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH ISSUES? AND DR.

CORDOVA PROVIDED A VERY THOROUGH DETAIL IN THAT PROSPECTIVE INTERVIEW WAS 20%.

AND OF COURSE THE REFERENCES WERE FIVE.

SCOPE OF THE WORK. I WANT TO JUST HIT QUICKLY ON THAT.

THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT TONIGHT IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO REVIEW AND APPROVE IS ULTIMATELY IT'S A MAXIMUM OF 500 HOURS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE SHARE WITH DR.

CORDOVA THROUGH THIS PROCESS WAS WE WANTED TO FRONTLOAD THIS HEAVY.

I THINK WE TALKED WITH THE COUNCIL WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

WE WANTED TO HAVE THE CAPABILITY OBVIOUSLY, TO DO THIS RIGHT FROM THE GET GO.

SO WE DIDN'T JUST GO OUT AND GRAB A NUMBER.

CASEY DID AN INCREDIBLY GOOD JOB OF BREAKING DOWN AS YOU LOOK AT THESE WEEKLY, MONTHLY AND THEN ANNUALLY TO GIVE US SOME GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF WHAT WE'D BE BACKING INTO.

AND SO WE HAVE A CAPACITY UP TO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING YOUR APPROVAL OF IS UP TO NOT TO EXCEED 500 HOURS THIS YEAR, AND THERE'S A DOLLAR AMOUNT TIED TO THAT.

[01:35:04]

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE LEVELS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THR AS WELL.

WE UNDERSTAND DR. CORDOVA HAS TO HAVE TIME OFF AND WE'VE GOT THOSE BASES COVERED AS WELL WITH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THR.

AS I JUST SAID, NOW I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE THE BENEFITS THAT WE HAVE AND WE WILL RECEIVE FROM PARTNERING NOT ONLY WITH DR.

CORDOVA, BUT WITH THR BURLESON AND THEN TEXAS HEALTH FORT WORTH.

WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE. I'LL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE TOP TWO PHOTOGRAPHS.

THESE ARE THE ENHANCEMENTS AND BENEFITS THAT WE'LL GET IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE TOP TWO PHOTOGRAPHS ARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MOCK THAT IS ACTUALLY THE THE FULL WHAT WE WOULD CALL BOX OF AN AMBULANCE THERE AT THE AMON G.

CARTER MEDICAL SIMULATION CENTER THAT'S LOCATED AT HARRIS.

SO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AN AMBULANCE, THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE FULLY EQUIPPED IN THERE FOR SIMULATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES THAT OUR FOLKS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AND WE WILL TRAIN THAT IT'S AN INCREDIBLE ASSET TO HAVE.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL DO ALL OF OUR ADVANCED TRAINING FOR OUR FIRE AND EMS PERSONNEL.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT I TALKED ABOUT A WHILE AGO IS DR.

CORDOVA ACTUALLY WILL PRACTICE AND DOES PRACTICE OUT OF TEXAS HEALTH BURLESON RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.

SO LITERALLY, YOU KNOW, A SHORT WALK FROM STATION THREE, BUT WE'LL HAVE ACCESS, AS I RELATED TO EARLIER, WE WILL HAVE MEET WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH DR.

CORDOVA AND WE WILL WORK AROUND HIS SCHEDULE.

BUT HE'S GOING TO BE VERY CLOSE AND VERY ACCESSIBLE TO US BECAUSE HE'LL BE STAFFED OUT OF TH BURLESON AT TIMES.

TH BURLESON WILL ALSO, AS I'VE NOTED HERE, WILL SERVE AS OUR PRIMARY MEDICAL DIRECTION AND CONTROL.

AND THEN SOMETHING THAT'S AGAIN INCREDIBLY VALUABLE TO TO US IS THAT BOTH BURLESON AND THR DOWNTOWN WILL SERVE AS LOCATIONS WHERE OUR FIRE PERSONNEL WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO DO THE CLINICAL ROTATIONS.

SO WHENEVER WE NEED TO HIRE AND SEND A EMT OR A PARAMEDIC HAVING ACCESS TO PHYSICIANS AND THE EMERGENCY ROOM PEOPLE, THE NURSES AND ALL THE STAFF, [INAUDIBLE] TEAMS, EVERYTHING THAT THAT COMES WITH.

WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO COMES OUT OF THESE PARTNERSHIPS RIGHT HERE AND IT'S INVALUABLE.

AND THERE ARE TIMES IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS PARTNERSHIP, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE YOU JUST KIND OF GET FIT IN IF YOU GET FIT IN.

AND SO AGAIN, I'M VERY PLEASED THAT WE'VE GOT THE RELATIONSHIP AND THE PARTNERSHIP THAT'S GOING TO ACCOMMODATE OUR NEEDS FOR OUR CLINICAL ROTATIONS AT BOTH FACILITIES.

AS I WRAP THINGS UP, I AM ASKING THE COUNCIL FOR AN ACTION REQUEST TONIGHT THAT WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND TO YOU TO CONSIDER A FIVE YEAR EXCUSE ME PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT WITH DR.

JOSEPH CORDOVA TO SERVE AS OUR MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $60,000 PER YEAR.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE COUNCIL'S FEEDBACK ON WHETHER WE WANT TO CONSIDER THAT NOW AND THEN HAVE MR. [INAUDIBLE] ON COME UP, DR.

CORDOVA, OR I CAN PAUSE, HAVE THEM COME UP, BUT THIS WILL CONCLUDE MY MY FORMAL PRESENTATION.

I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE, BUT I'D LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON BRINGING UP OUR GUEST.

THIS IS BUDGETED IN, RIGHT? YES, SIR. IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF OUR ARPA.

IT IS FUNDED. WE'RE READY.

IS THERE A MOTION? IF I MAKE THE MOTION, CAN WE STILL MEET THE DOCTOR? [LAUGHTER].

I DON'T NEED TO MEET THE DOCTOR TO BE CONVINCED TO MAKE THE MOTION.

AFTER THE VOTE. OR BEFORE THE VOTE.

LET'S DO IT NOW. I'LL VOTE.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE AS REQUESTED.

IF I CAN GET THE MOUSE ON IT.

THERE WE GO. I HAVE A MOTION BY DAN A SECOND BY RONNY.

PLEASE VOTE. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUS.

LET'S MEET THE NEW GUY. THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO DR.

JOSEPH CORDOVA. AND THEN AFTER DR.

CORDOVA COMES UP, IF MR. [INAUDIBLE] WOULD COME UP AND AS WELL, PLEASE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. COUNCIL.

I'M JOSEPH CORDOVA.

NOT MUCH TO SAY.

I THINK THAT WAS PRETTY THOROUGH, BUT I'M EXCITED THAT I THINK THIS WILL BE GREAT.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR TEN YEARS IN AZLE SO I THINK IT'S FAIRLY SIMILAR.

THE THINGS I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO THAT IS EXCITING ARE THE COMMUNITY PROJECTS.

WE'D ALREADY TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE, EVEN LIKE THE FALL THING, WHICH IS KIND OF CRAZY.

[01:40:04]

THE SIM LAB AT DOWNTOWN WILL BE GREAT AND THEN HOPEFULLY ALSO THE FOCUS WILL BE TO TRANSPORT A LOT OF THE PATIENTS TO THE HOSPITAL HERE IN BURLESON TO TRY TO KEEP MOST THINGS HERE, OF COURSE, TRANSFERS WHEN NEEDED.

I'LL BE AROUND THREE KIDS NOW.

THEY'RE ALL IN SCHOOL, SO I SHOULD BE AVAILABLE A LOT OF THE DAYS AND I'M EXCITED.

IT'LL BE FUN TO TO RIDE OUT AND DEVELOP PROTOCOLS AND HOPEFULLY ESTABLISH A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM.

SO. WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND WELCOME TO THE TO [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU, SIR. DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD.

JUST A THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.

WE'VE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND ARE HAPPY TO BE A PARTNER AND PRIVILEGED TO BE A PARTNER WITH YOU ALL AND SERVING THE CITIZENS OF BURLESON . TEXAS HEALTH BURLESON HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING FOR US, THIS FACILITY TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS COMMUNITY.

WE HOPE THAT YOU DON'T OFTEN HAVE TO VISIT THERE, BUT IF YOU DO THAT, WE'RE READILY AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO YOU.

THE SIMULATION LAB THAT BOTH THE CHIEF AND DR.

CORDOVA TALKED ABOUT IS AN INCREDIBLE ASSET.

DR. JOHN [INAUDIBLE] OUR MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR OVER 25 YEARS WHO PASSED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, NOW, WAS DEDICATED TO TRAINING EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE FORT WORTH AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES FOR MANY YEARS.

AND HE LEFT THIS GIFT TO US.

AND HE WOULD I KNOW HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE ARE GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH YOU ALL IN THIS WAY.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN.

ALSO ON BEHALF OF TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES, SERVING ALL OF OF NORTH TEXAS, WE ARE ARE PROUD TO BE ABLE TO SERVE WITH YOU AND TAKING CARE OF THE CITIZENS.

[INAUDIBLE] HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER FOR BURLESON.

EVERY TIME WE TURN AROUND, Y'ALL STEPPING UP WITHOUT US EVER ASKING.

SO IN THE NEW CLINIC HERE, IT'S BEEN GREAT.

WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT.

HONOR FOR US MAYOR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? OK. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JUST BY WAY OF HISTORY.

BACK IN JULY OF LAST YEAR, YOU ALL APPROVED A MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES POLICY THAT PROVIDED GUIDELINES AND INCENTIVES FOR THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION. MAY 3RD OF EXCUSE ME, JULY OF 2020.

MAY 3RD OF 2021 LAST YEAR, YOU RECEIVED A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS SHOWING A PROJECTED $1 BILLION IN NEW VALUE OVER THE COURSE OF A 20 YEAR HORIZON.

WE FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH A 380 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BY YOU AND THEN A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF 106 ACRES FOR THE PROPOSED HOOPER BUSINESS PARK.

SO AS MRS. CAMPOS MENTIONED, MY INITIAL PRESENTATION IS FOR THE FOUR LEADING ITEMS REGARDING THE ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF THE CHISOLM SUMMIT PROPERTY TO INCLUDE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK.

THE CITY STAFF DID PROVIDE NOTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW FOR ALL OF THESE ITEMS AND PLACED SIGNS ON THE PROPERTY.

SO MR. JUSTIN BOND HAS APPEARED BEFORE YOU SEVERAL TIMES AND YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE, WHICH DETAILS PHASE ONE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

[01:45:08]

BUT TONIGHT WE'RE STARTING WITH THE ANNEXATION SCHEDULE AND THEN YOU SEE PROPOSED ANNEXATION SCHEDULES GOING FORWARD.

THERE IS SOME SUBJECT TO CHANGE IF THEY THINK THEY'RE IN A POSITION TO EXPEDITE SOME OF THOSE ANNEXATION REQUESTS.

CERTAINLY STAFF WOULD BE WILLING TO TO MEET THAT CHALLENGE AND BRING THESE BACK BEFORE YOU.

SO REGARDING PHASE ONE DEVELOPMENT, WHAT WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU TONIGHT IS RENDERINGS SUBMITTED BY THE DEVELOPER THAT SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 170 ACRES OF WHICH 20 ACRES ARE DEDICATED PARKLAND AND TRAILS.

DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE PROMENADE THAT YOU SEE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU, WHICH WILL HAVE A GREEN SPACE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE FROM THAT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE.

YOU'VE GOT A VARIETY OF LOT SIZES AND THOSE SIZES THAT YOU SEE ARE THE WIDTH OF WIDTH OF THE LOT, 80 FEET, 70 FEET AND THE LIKE.

AND THEN THE TOWN CENTER, BOTTOM CENTER OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

WITH REGARD TO OUR CONSISTENCY WITH OUR FUTURE PLANNING DOCUMENTS.

THIS AREA IS IN A SITE THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE DEVELOPED AS NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE ZONING ACTION TONIGHT WILL DEFAULT THE PROPERTY TO AG ZONING UPON ANNEXATION UNTIL SUCH TIME WE COME IN WITH THE ACTUAL REQUEST, WHICH IS LATER ON YOUR AGENDA.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITE FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS.

THIS IS THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK ANNEXATION.

THE TWO TRACKS COMPOSED COMPRISE OVER A LITTLE OVER 106 ACRES.

ALSO SET ASIDE FOR NEIGHBORHOODS WITH REGARD TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO SOME DETAILS WITH THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND THERE'S QUITE A BIT ON THE SCREEN.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT, IF YOU WILL, OF SOME OF THE PROPOSED LOT TYPES THAT YOU CAN EXPECT.

THESE DENSITIES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE 3D AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY ENTERED INTO AND APPROVED WITH THE DEVELOPER.

I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT MULTIFAMILY IS NOT BEING CONSIDERED IN THIS FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT.

SO IN THOSE AREAS THAT YOU SEE AS BEING BLANK ARE AREAS WHERE YOU LOOK THROUGH THE DOCUMENT AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF DETAIL BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THERE AT THAT POINT YET.

IT'S SUCH TIME THAT THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO CONSIDER MULTIFAMILY WILL COME BACK BEFORE YOU WITH A SUBSEQUENT ZONING REQUEST, SO NONE OF YOUR ACTIONS TONIGHT WILL IMPACT OR INFLUENCE ANY ANYTHING REGARDING MULTIFAMILY.

SO WITH REGARD TO SOME OF WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO HAVE, YOU'VE GOT A LOT FRONTAGES THAT RANGE FROM 25 FEET IN WIDTH TO A STATE LOTS AT 100 FEET IN WIDTH.

WE'VE GOT AN ALLOWABLE PERCENTAGE THAT YOU SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT.

SO THAT TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE RANGE OF LOT TYPES THAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT.

SO YOU HAVE A PRETTY WIDE DISBURSEMENT, IF YOU WILL, OF RANGES.

IT'S NOT A LOT OF PERCENTAGES IN SOME OF THE SMALL LOTS AND VERY FEW PERCENTAGES IN TERMS OF NUMBERS WITH THE LARGE LOTS.

THEY DID A REALLY GOOD REPRESENTS A REALLY GOOD CROSS-SECTION OF WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AS FAR AS THE PERCENTAGES.

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT YOUR RESIDENTIAL, TRADITIONAL 60 FOOT WIDE LOTS WILL COMPRISE THE GREATEST MAJORITY OF THE SITE AT A LITTLE OVER 28%. AND THEN YOU THEN SEE NEXT LARGEST SECTION WILL BE YOUR 80 FOOT LOTS AT A LITTLE OVER 17%. BEFORE I ADVANCE THE SLIDE, I WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS TABLE COUNCIL.

BUT IT'S PRETTY BASIC LOT WIDTH MINIMUM LOT SIZE AND THEN THE HOME SIZE THAT YOU CAN EXPECT.

THESE ARE MINIMUM, NOT MAXIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LOT FRONTAGE, LOT SIZE, HOME SIZE.

SO I WANT TO POINT THAT AND BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS WELL.

SO MOVING ON AS FAR AS PARKS AND OPEN SPACES, WE'RE LOOKING AT A LITTLE OVER 3,000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITH A AMOUNT OF PARKLAND ACREAGE IN EXCESS OF 30 ACRES.

[01:50:01]

THIS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN THE AGREEMENT AT 380 AGREEMENT AS THE SATISFACTION OF THE PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENT.

SO PHASE ONE 170 ACRES WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES OF DEDICATED PARKLAND AND TRAILS.

SO WHAT WE ATTEMPTED TO DO HERE WITH THIS GRAPHIC IS GIVE YOU SOME INDICATION OF WHERE THIS PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AREAS WILL BE.

YOU'LL SEE TOWARD THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN IN THE AREA AROUND RIVER EDGE, A BIG SECTION OF GREEN SPACE, AND THEN AGAIN IN THE PROMENADE AREA THAT YOU HAVE PROMINENTLY FEATURED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PHASE ONE DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME AREAS TO THE SOUTH AS WELL.

I WANT TO POINT OUT WITH THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE, NONE OF THE 3D AGREEMENT OR THE ZONING CONTEMPLATES LESS THAN SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE EITHER EQUALS TO OR SURPASSES WHAT THE CITY WOULD REQUIRE.

THIS IS ANOTHER PRESENTATION SLIDE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH WITH THE COMMUNITY PARK.

MR. BOND HAS PRESENTED THIS TO YOU A FEW MONTHS BACK, SHOWING THE COMMUNITY PARK AREA AND THE PROMENADE AND A COMMUNITY BUILDING THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 2,400 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE TO ALLOW FOR GATHERINGS.

WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH RA DEVELOPMENT ON THE LANDSCAPE THEME.

MR. BOND WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU THIS PROBABLY OCCUPY MORE OF HIS TIME THAN HE ANTICIPATED.

BUT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS BRING IN SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT WAS ATTRACTIVE AND APPEALING FROM A CURB APPEAL STANDPOINT.

WE DON'T HAVE THE STRONGEST LANDSCAPING STANDARDS, AND WE IMPRESSED UPON RA DEVELOPMENT THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD IN THAT CATEGORY.

AND THEY AGREED AND WORKED WITH STAFF VERY CLOSELY ON WHAT YOU HAVE AS FAR AS THE LANDSCAPING AND GARAGE ENHANCEMENT.

I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE STRONGEST THINGS ABOUT THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH WITH RA DEVELOPMENT.

YOU'VE GOT A 10% LOT AREA THAT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR LANDSCAPING CANOPY TREES, TWO, ONE OF WHICH MUST BE IN THE FRONT, AND THEN FIVE GALLON SHRUBS. AND I WON'T READ ALL OF THIS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU ALL CAN READ, BUT THE INTENT IS TO GIVE YOU SOME INDICATION THAT WE EXPECT THIS AREA TO BE WELL REPRESENTED WITH REGARD TO LANDSCAPING.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT IS WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME TREATMENT ON GARAGES.

AS FAR AS MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, WE DON'T WANT THEM.

AND OUR [INAUDIBLE] AGREED.

WE DON'T WANT GARAGES EXCEEDING 50% OF THE FRONT FAÇADE OF THE HOME.

WE'RE WORKING ON AN AGREEMENT WHERE 40% IF GARAGES EXCEED 40% OF THE FRONT FAÇADE, THEY SHOULD BE OF A DECORATIVE WOOD AND CAN'T BE THE MOST FORWARD FEATURE OF THE HOME.

SO THIS IS IMPACTFUL TO OUR BUILDING COMMUNITY.

BUT THE POINT IS THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN WITH JUST STANDARD LOOKING HOUSING IN THE AREA AND WANTED TO APPEAL TO A WIDER RANGE OF BUYERS.

AND SO LUCKILY THEY'RE WORKING WITH BUILDERS THAT ARE ABLE TO DO JUST THAT.

SO ANTI MONOTONY STANDARDS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO STAFF IS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A COOKIE CUTTER APPEARANCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, MEANING WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE BUILDERS PUT IN THE SAME EXACT HOME SIDE BY SIDE.

WE WORK CLOSELY WITH RA DEVELOPMENT AND PUT TOGETHER THIS MATRIX.

ESSENTIALLY, IT GIVES A BLUEPRINT FOR WHAT HOME CAN BE BUILT BESIDE WHAT HOME AND ACROSS THE STREET.

THE IDEA IS TO DIFFERENTIATE HOMES IN TERMS OF THEIR APPEARANCE AND TO PROVIDE SOME UNIQUENESS WITH SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO SEQUENCING AND AMENITIES, TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF WHEN YOU CAN EXPECT SOME THINGS TO HAPPEN BEYOND JUST THE START UP PROCESS OF HOME BUILDING.

SO FOR YOUR SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL 55 PLUS OLDER PORTION OF THE PD, WE'RE ASKING FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE PRIMARY AMENITY TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE FINAL INSPECTION OF THE 80TH UNIT.

AND THESE ARE BASICALLY TRIGGER POINTS, IF YOU WILL, WHERE YOU CAN HAVE SOME EXPECTATION OF WHEN SOME THINGS WILL COME ONLINE.

IF YOUR QUESTION, FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE TRIGGER POINTS FOR THE ACTIVITY CENTER, THE COMMUNITY POOL AND AMENITY BUILDING AND GOING DOWN YOUR RESIDENTIAL COTTAGES, WHICH IS YOUR TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN SIDING AND MASONRY MIX.

[01:55:05]

AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE GET A GOOD MIX OF EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS AS EACH PHASE COMES ALONG.

AND AGAIN, I WANT TO APPLAUD RA DEVELOPMENT.

THEY STARTED ACROSS THE TABLE AND WORK THESE CONDITIONS OUT WITH US.

SO I APPLAUD THEM ON THAT EFFORT.

DECORATIVE LIGHTING.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT TO THE STAFF AS WELL.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A BLACK POWDER COAT FINISH WITH DECORATIVE LIGHTING, WITH LIGHTING PLANS THAT MADE BY CITY STAFF WITH EACH CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND SPACING SHALL NOT GENERALLY EXCEED 200 FEET.

WE GET INTO LONGER BLOCKS WHERE SOMEHOW SOMETIMES 200 FEET MAY NOT BE THE EXACT MEASUREMENT, AND WE WANT TO HAVE THE LIGHTING PLAN SO THAT WE CAN HAVE STAFF HAVE THE DISCRETION TO REVIEW THOSE.

SO IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO IS AN ADVOCATE FOR WELL-LIT STREETS, WE THINK THAT THIS IS A MORE THAN TWO THIRDS IMPROVEMENT UNDER OUR CURRENT STANDARDS, WHICH IS 600 FEET, THEY'VE CUT THAT DOWN BY 60%.

SO YOU'LL HAVE SOME WELL-LIT STREETS [INAUDIBLE] MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY.

AS FAR AS WHAT TYPES OF TREES CAN YOU EXPECT TO SEE IN THE PARKWAY? WE HAVE AN ARBORIST ON STAFF THAT'S OUR VERY OWN, ERIC OSCARSON.

HE'S A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, SO HE HELPED US SIT THERE AND WORK WITH RA DEVELOPMENT TO LOOK AT SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE TREES AND WHERE IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THOSE TREES TO GET PLACED WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS SMALL TREES IN THE PARKWAY NOT TO SEE 20 FEET ON CENTER AND ALL ALL OTHER LOCATIONS TO GO TO YOUR MEDIUM AND LARGE TREE VARIETY WITH A MINIMUM OF THREE CALIPER INCHES UPON PLANTING.

BEFORE I GO INTO HOOPER BUSINESS PARK, I WANT TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I BELIEVE.

ALSO, WHILE THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, I BELIEVE MR. JUSTIN BOND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE SO INTERESTED IN, IN DOING.

ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME.

IF YOU'LL JUST STATE THAT PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN, PLEASE, FOR ALL THE ITEMS. OH THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:00.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, TONY.

MAYOR, COUNCIL. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

EXCUSE ME, JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME FEEDBACK.

AGAIN, I WAS GOING THROUGH MY LIST.

I THINK IT'S LIKE THE 10TH TIME THAT I'M IN FRONT OF YOU FOR CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

SO LET ME JUST WRAP UP THIS VERY IMPORTANT PART, WHICH IS OUR ZONING MAKING SOMETHING OFFICIAL THAT WE'VE WORKED ON.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE THE WORK AND THE SUPPORT FROM STAFF FROM BRIAN AND TOMMY, TONY, ERIC, ALEX, SO MANY OTHERS THAT I'M GOING TO MAKE UPSET BECAUSE I DIDN'T SAY EVERYBODY'S NAME, BUT IT WAS THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FOR AN OSCAR.

I WILL JUST SAY THAT I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING ON IN TOWN AND AND TO GET THIS LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION FROM STAFF, I REALLY APPRECIATE I'LL SAY JUST A FEW THINGS FIRST, WHAT WE TRY TO DO WITH THE ZONING IS THAT THIS WOULD BE A COMMUNITY FOCUSED ON OUTDOOR LIVING, THAT IT WOULD BE A COMMUNITY THAT WOULD RAISE THE BAR ON RESIDENTIAL HOME STANDARDS AND THAT IT WOULD BE A COMMUNITY THAT WOULD START STRONG IN ITS FIRST PHASE AND IN THAT AREA.

ADDING ON TO WHAT TONY HAD SAID, OBVIOUSLY ALSO THAT THE DEDICATION OF PARKLAND IS MORE THAN THREE TIMES WHAT THE BASIC REQUIREMENT WOULD BE FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION FROM WHEN WE DID OUR AGREEMENT.

THERE'S TEN MILES OF TRAILS THAT'S IN THIS AREA.

ALL THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE PARKS AND TRAILS ARE THROUGH THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING YOU.

THIS CENTRAL COMMUNITY PARK WAS A BIG FEATURE AS WELL AS THESE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS AND TRAIL PARKS.

EVEN IN THIS FIRST PHASE IS A LINEAR PARK THAT'S IN THAT THE TOWNHOMES FACE THAT'S 100 FEET WIDE.

IT'LL MAKE FOR A GREAT FRONT YARD FOR FOR THIS SPACE.

AS FAR AS RAISING THE BAR ON THOSE HOME STANDARDS, I THINK A FEW THINGS TO POINT OUT.

A VARIATION ON THE LOT TYPES WAS A BIG PART OF THE MASTER PLANNING COMMUNITY GUIDELINES AND SOMETHING WE TOOK VERY SERIOUSLY.

WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE MINIMUM FLOOR AREA THAT'S REQUIRED ON THE BASE CATEGORIES AND WE RAISED THOSE IN NEARLY EVERY CATEGORY UP TO 60% IN SOME, AND THAT WAS ON THE 60 FOOT LOT.

SO YOUR STANDARD TRADITIONAL LOT, WE LOOKED AT THESE ANTI MONOTONY STANDARDS AS A WAY TO SET A GOOD PATTERN.

ALSO THE TOWNHOMES, THE BASIC CATEGORY WOULD ALLOW FOR A MUCH WIDER SECTION OF TOWNHOMES 300 FEET WIDE AND THAT'S REDUCED DOWN TO 125 FEET, WHICH IS A REALLY MORE PRACTICAL SINGLE FAMILY PRODUCT THAN THAN SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ON THE BASE ZONING.

[02:00:05]

AS FAR AS BEING STRONG IS HOW WE START IN THE FIRST PHASE.

THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY TRIED TO FOCUS ON WERE WE'RE SHOWING YOU THAT THE PUBLIC FEATURES WOULD BE THERE FROM THE FIRST DOOR THAT OPENED. THAT WAS A BIG PART OF RA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSLATED OVER INTO THE ZONING.

AND SO THE PARK AREA THAT'S THERE, WHEN YOU HAVE 170 ACRES AND 20 ACRES OR SO, IS THE THE PARK SPACE, I THINK THAT'S A A DOMINANT START.

WE ALSO HAVE EVERYTHING RANGING FROM TOWN HOME TO AN ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITY THAT HAS ITS OWN PRIVATE AMENITIES AND THEN VERY TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

THAT IS THE ONE I GET ASKED ABOUT ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY WHEN WE'RE WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PROGRESS AND WHEN PEOPLE CAN MOVE OUT THERE.

BUT THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT.

THE STAFF HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK TO GET US TO THIS POINT.

I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD ZONING CASE AND WE JUST ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AS WE GO FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU. I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THESE ITEMS EIGHT A THROUGH EIGHT B? I HAVE NONE MAYOR. SO IF YOU CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE.

CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:04.

THANK YOU. AND IF COUNCIL IS READY, WE CAN TAKE UP EACH ITEM FOR VOTING.

Development, Ltd., pursuant to an existing Chapter 380 and Economic Development and Performance Agreement in an amount not to exceed $17,980,956.61, including contingency. (Staff Presenter: Eric Oscarson, Public Works Director)]

[02:05:02]

SO TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION WILL BE ERIC, OSCARSON PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

[INAUDIBLE] SORRY.

NO, NO WORRIES.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TONIGHT, I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO YOU ON CONSTRUCTION OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE AS IT RELATES TO CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I AM GOING TO DO THE AWARD SHOW THING.

I DO WANT TO. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

EVER SINCE I STARTED HERE IN JANUARY AND YEARS AGO, WE STARTED THIS PROJECT.

SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO COUNCIL FOR BEING SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROJECT AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO RA DEVELOPMENT.

JUSTIN AND AND EVERYBODY OVER THERE.

ROCKY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND WORK ON THIS.

TRULY APPRECIATE IT.

TOO KIND OF BRIAN AND TOMMY AND MATT AND TO THE MANAGER'S OFFICE FOR SUPPORT ON THIS AND THEN ESPECIALLY THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

SO ERIC AND MICHELLE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FOR GETTING THIS TO THE FINISH LINE.

SO WE'RE GETTING THERE.

SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A QUICK HISTORY OF KIND OF SOME OF THE STUFF THAT TONY TALKED ABOUT.

SO IN JULY OF 2020, COUNCIL ADOPTED A MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES POLICY AND ESTABLISH THE GUIDELINES FOR CRITERIA FOR CITY PARTICIPATION AND INCENTIVES.

AND THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS.

MAY 3RD AND 21 YOU WERE PRESENTED AN ANALYSIS OF THE NET POSITIVE IMPACT FOR THE CHISOLM SUMMIT DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN IN JUNE OF THAT SAME YEAR, A THREE A AGREEMENT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AND CONTRACT WAS APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE THE ACREAGE FOR THE FUTURE BUSINESS PARK.

IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND A REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION RA DEVELOPMENT FOR DESIGN AND PAVING OF SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS WAS APPROVED, AS WELL AS A CONTRACT FOR DESIGN REVIEW BY KIMLEY-HORN.

IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, THERE WAS APPROVAL OF A DESIGN FOR THE PHASE ONE GRAVITY SEWER, WHICH IS FINISHING UP CONSTRUCTION NOW, AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE FINISHING OF THAT PROJECT IN THE NEXT, HOPEFULLY A FEW WEEKS.

WE'RE DOING FINAL ONE. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME KEY ELEMENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AS TONY MENTIONED, THE DEVELOPMENT'S APPROXIMATELY 1,000 ACRES WITH APPROXIMATELY 3,000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THIS WILL INCLUDE OVER TEN MILES OF INTERCONNECTED TRAILS, AS WELL AS 102 ACRES OF DEDICATED PARKLAND.

AT THE BUSINESS PARK, WHICH IS AGAIN IS ABOUT 106 ACRES.

WE'LL HAVE POTENTIAL OFFICE AND MEDICAL USE AND WE'LL HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE CHISHOLM TRAIL PARKWAY.

SO AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT, THE DEVELOPER HAD OBLIGATIONS TO ANNEX, WHICH WAS JUST COMPLETED TO DEDICATE A TRACT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AT A FUTURE DATE.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH US TO COORDINATE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEY'LL DEDICATE THE ROADWAY, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO COORDINATE WITH THE PID AT A FUTURE MEETING, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT HERE A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY TO FOLLOW LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES.

ON THE CITY SIDE, WE HAD SOME MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS TO PARTICIPATE ON WITH THE SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.

LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE COMPLETED PHASE ONE AND WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING FINAL WALK THROUGH PHASE ONE AND THEN NEXT WEEK, PHASES TWO AND THREE WILL BE COMING FORWARD AT A LATER DATE.

THAT INCLUDES A LIFT STATION LOCATED ON THE BUSINESS PARK PROPERTY, AS WELL AS TWO FORCE MAINS AND GRAVITY SEWERS TO THOSE LIFT STATIONS AND A TOTAL CONTRIBUTION OF $8 MILLION IN DEVELOPER REIMBURSEMENT THAT WILL BE PAID FOR BY THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

AS PART OF THIS, AS WELL AS THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY.

PHASES ONE, TWO AND THREE ARE ALL PART OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE.

THOSE WILL BE COMING FORWARD TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION THIS EVENING.

AND THE TOTAL CONTRIBUTION WAS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY $35 MILLION IN 4A FUNDS.

TONIGHT YOU HAVE ITEMS F AND G TO CONSIDER.

ITEM E HAS MULTIPLE PARTS TO IT, SO I'LL GO THROUGH IT REAL QUICKLY.

THE FIRST PART IS THE APPROVAL OF THE ROADWAY DESIGN.

SO AS PART OF THE THREE A AGREEMENT, COUNCIL MUST APPROVE THE ROADWAY DESIGN FOR THE ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE.

THE SECOND PART OF E IS THE REIMBURSEMENT OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE DEVELOPER FOR CONSTRUCTION.

TOTAL COST IS JUST SHY OF $18 MILLION, WHICH IS FOR THE 8,800 LINEAR FEET OF ROADWAY.

THAT $18 MILLION DOES INCLUDE ABOUT $3 MILLION IN CONTINGENCY, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE LANDSCAPING AND OR STREET LIGHTING, WHICH WILL COME BACK AT A LATER DATE.

THE FINAL PART OF E IS LIMITED AUTHORIZATION BECAUSE WE ARE SOME OF THE SEWER IMPROVEMENTS WILL GO UNDERNEATH THE ROADWAY.

WE NEED TO FINALIZE THE SEWER DESIGNS.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TO GET THE PROJECT STARTED.

WE'RE GIVING LIMITED AUTHORIZATION FOR GRADING SOME STORM SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOME OTHER PAVING THAT DOES NOT IS NOT TIED TO THAT SEWER IMPROVEMENT.

EIGHT F IS THE CFC PART OF THE AGREEMENT.

SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE CONTRACTS, THE RESOLUTION WILL AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CFC WITH THE DEVELOPER AND WE'LL GUARANTEE CONSTRUCTION

[02:10:10]

AND ITEM EIGHT G IS A KIND OF A FORMALITY ITEM.

THE FUNDING FOR THE SEWER PROJECT AND FOR PHASE TWO AND THREE HAS NEVER REALLY COME TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THAT FUNDING.

THAT FUNDING WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH SAVINGS OF OTHER PROJECTS.

SO THIS RESOLUTION WILL AUTHORIZE US, THE CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF, TO USE THOSE FUNDS FOR THE FUNDING OF THAT SEWER PROJECT.

SO MOVING FORWARD, IF EVERYTHING IS PASSED THIS EVENING, WE'LL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROADWAY.

THE HOPE IS BACK IN NOVEMBER, WE'LL BRING FORWARD A STREET LIGHTING AGREEMENT FOR THE STREETLIGHTS ON LAKEWOOD.

IN DECEMBER, WE'LL BRING FORWARD THE FINAL ENGINEERING AND AWARD, THE CONSTRUCTION PHASES TWO AND THREE OF THE SEWER.

WE ANTICIPATE TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR.

IN MARCH, WE WOULD BRING FORWARD THE PID DOCUMENTS.

IN JULY, WE WOULD BRING FORWARD FINAL COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL FOR THE LANDSCAPING CONTRACT AND THEN HOPEFULLY SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE IN DECEMBER, IN MARCH OF NEXT YEAR WITH THE ROADWAY AND THOSE LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS.

AS YOU RECALL, THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT WAS ANTICIPATED AT $35 MILLION.

BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE $18 MILLION ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

WE ANTICIPATE AT THE HIGH END TWO AND ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR ESTIMATED LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN STREETLIGHT AND OVERHEAD ELECTRIC UNDERGROUNDING, AS WELL AS $1,000,000 BUSINESS PARK DETENTION POND WITH AN ESTIMATED PROJECT COST OF $25 MILLION, WHICH IS WELL UNDER BUDGET.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL RECOMMEND THE FIRST ITEM, WHICH IS THE RESOLUTION FOR APPROVAL OF DESIGN, THE REIMBURSEMENT TO RA AND LIMITED AUTHORIZATION.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE DESIGN.

AS FAR AS I RECALL, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME COUNCIL HAS HAD A LOOK AT THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR LAKEWOOD DRIVE.

SO I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO NOTE AN ITEM THAT I'D LIKE TO CONSIDER REVISING.

LOOKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, WE SEE THAT WE HAVE A VERY SIMILAR DESIGN TO A ROADWAY.

WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY.

THE CONSIST OF A DIVIDED BOULEVARD WITH 11 FOOT LANES, TWO OF THEM GOING IN EACH DIRECTION.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T DO RIGHT WHEN WE DID HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY, WHICH WAS SOME YEARS AGO, WAS PROVIDE FOR BICYCLE TRAFFIC.

WE HAVE A VERY GREAT THOROUGHFARE GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH BURLESON THAT YOU CAN'T RIDE ON A BICYCLE AT ALL.

THE SIDEWALKS AREN'T WIDE ENOUGH.

SO I SEE ON THIS ON THIS DESIGN, WE'VE INCLUDED TEN FOOT TRAILS ON BOTH SIDES.

WE CALL THEM SIDEWALKS ON THE PLANS.

TO MY THOUGHT, AS A AVID CYCLIST, I DON'T LIKE TO SEE MEANDERING SIDEWALKS ON A STREET.

I THINK THAT SIDEWALKS THAT CONTINUALLY SWERVE BACK AND FORTH MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR SERIOUS USE BY BICYCLISTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO ACTUALLY USING THEM AS AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

WHEN WE GO FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE, WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE MORE AND MORE E-BIKES.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE SERIOUS USE OF OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS FOR NOT JUST CASUAL RECREATION OF BICYCLES, BUT BUT ALSO FOR GETTING ACROSS TOWN AND GETTING TO AND FROM DESTINATIONS.

AND I THINK THERE'S A SAFETY ASPECT AS WELL TO MEANDERING TRAILS BECAUSE WE RIDE THE TRAILS I DO ALL THE TIME, THE TRAILS THAT WE HAVE NOW. A BIKE RIDER IS GOING QUITE A BIT FASTER THAN PEDESTRIANS AND THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO ANTICIPATE CONFLICT IN ORDER TO CALL OUT.

MAKE ADEQUATE MEANS.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE WHEN THE TRAIL IN FRONT OF YOU IS CONTINUALLY SWERVING BACK AND FORTH.

SO I THINK THERE'S A SAFETY ASPECT TO BE CONSIDERED.

I'VE GOT OTHER REASONS.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THE COUNCIL HAS ANY PARTICULAR OBJECTION.

I SPOKE EARLIER WITH JUSTIN.

I BELIEVE THE DEVELOPER IS NOT TO SPEAK FOR HIM, BUT I BELIEVE HE'LL CONSIDER THE CHANGE THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST BASICALLY BUILD THE SIDEWALKS AS WE BUILT THEM ON THE FIRST ORDINARY BOULEVARD SECTION WHERE WE JUST SIMPLY FOLLOW THE LINE OF THE ROADWAY AND MAKE THE SIDEWALKS THE ROADWAYS ALREADY CURVILINEAR.

SO WE HAVE THE ASPECT OF OF APPEARANCE, I THINK PRETTY MUCH ALREADY BUILT INTO THE BASIC DESIGN.

SO I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WE APPROVE IT.

BUT WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT BICYCLE USAGE AND JUST STRAIGHTEN OUT THE TRAILS AND MAKE THEM EASIER TO RIDE.

[02:15:01]

SO YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH, WE WOULD. WE WOULD DEFER TO THE CITY'S POSITION.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY A ROADWAY THAT'S PART OF THE CITY DESIGN.

AND SO THAT'S AN ELEMENT WE TALKED ABOUT.

NO OBJECTION OBVIOUSLY, FROM US.

WE'RE READY FOR A VOTE.

SO IF YOU'LL JUST ALLOW ME TO ANNOUNCE THE VOTE, PLEASE.

SO THIS IS ITEM EIGHT E CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL DESIGN OF A ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT FOR LAKEWOOD DRIVE, AUTHORIZING THE REIMBURSEMENT OF RA DEVELOPMENT LIMITED FOR ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION COST AND FOR THE LIMITED AUTHORIZATION FOR GRADING, STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION FOR RA DEVELOPMENT LIMITED PURSUANT TO AN EXISTING CHAPTER 380, AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $17,980,956.61 THIS INCLUDING CONTINGENCIES.

I GOT IT IN THERE ATTORNEY.

IS THERE A MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT MEANDERING SIDEWALKS BE REPLACED BY SIDEWALKS THAT FOLLOW THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CURVED LINES OF THE ROADWAY.

IS THERE A SECOND. SECOND.

HAVE A MOTION BY DAN SECOND VICTORIA, PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO EIGHT F.

[8F. Consider approval of a resolution authorizing a community facilities contract with RA Development, LTD, for the construction of approximately 8,800 linear feet of Lakewood Drive, authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City, and authorizing the City Attorney to make any necessary]

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACTS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY FURTHER CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT.

[INAUDIBLE] IS THERE A MOTION? I KNOW SOME OF THESE CONTRACTORS I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE CHOSEN WELL.

I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE.

MOTION BY DAN SECOND BY RICK, PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THAT MOVES US ON TO EIGHT G.

[8G. Consider approval of a resolution identifying funds associated with Phase 2 and 3 sewer infrastructure design and construction improvements pursuant to the Chapter 380 Economic Development and Performance Agreement for the Chisholm Summit development. (Staff Presenter: Eric Oscarson, Public Works Director)]

IS THERE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE.

HAVE A MOTION BY DAN SECOND BY RICK.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS.

BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT ITEM, AMANDA, I JUST WANTED TO SAY ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE GROUP FOR JUSTIN [INAUDIBLE].

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT PARTNERS FOR US.

ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS.

AND ERIC, ENTIRE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM HAS BEEN GREAT AS WELL AS TOMMY MATT.

IT'S TRULY BEEN A TEAM EFFORT TO GET THIS DONE.

AND AS YOU LOOK AT THESE MAPS, I KNOW ALL OF US HAVE BEEN VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROJECT AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH IT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAPS, THE ENORMITY AND THE SIZE OF THE PROJECT DOESN'T REALLY JUMP OUT AT YOU.

BUT AS A REMINDER, THIS IS MORE THAN 25% OF TODAY'S POPULATION WILL HAVE IN CHISHOLM SUMMIT WHEN IT'S CONSTRUCTED, MORE THAN 25% OF OUR TAXABLE VALUE WILL BE IN THIS PROJECT WHEN IT'S CONSTRUCTED.

SO IT'S A HUGE PROJECT, A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THIS CITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO GET THIS DONE.

AND MORE THAN MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN THAT, IT'LL ALSO OPEN UP ALL THE TRANSPORTATION TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO GET THIS DONE.

WE APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE OF COUNCIL AS WE WENT THROUGH.

I DON'T KNOW, I LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY ITEMS IT WAS TONIGHT BETWEEN 4A AND THE COUNCIL MEETING, BUT WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

I KNOW WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE STEPS, BUT THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED AND REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, MR. MCILWAIN, ARE WE READY TO REVISIT ITEM SEVEN A? AT THIS TIME, I WILL BRING FORWARD ITEM SEVEN A, WHICH IS 4139 SOUTH BURLESON BOULEVARD CASE 22-122.

MAYOR, IF YOU WILL REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE AND STATE THE TIME.

OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:22.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND VISIT WITH YOU SOME MORE.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE SOB RESTRICTION IS IS THE ONE THAT KIND OF GOT BROUGHT UP

[02:20:10]

AND THIS ONE AND I'M JUST I DON'T MAYBE FOR THE ATTORNEY, IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAY OR TO CONTINUE WITH A STRAIGHT ZONING CHANGE OF INDUSTRIAL BUT HAVE A RESTRICTION SPECIFICALLY ON THE SOB WITHOUT.

NOT WITHOUT AMENDING THE MASTER CITY ZONING ORDINANCE.

THE BEST WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS TO GRANT A PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT THAT PERMITS ALL USES AUTHORIZED IN THE I INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT EXCEPT SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES, WHICH WOULD GIVE THE PROPERTY OWNER EVERYTHING THAT AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT HAS EXCEPT THE SOBS. BUT WE WOULD STILL GO THROUGH THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

WE'RE AT A POSITION NOW.

THE COUNCIL CAN SIMPLY MAKE THE MOTION TONIGHT.

SURE. AND IT'S DONE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT DISTRICT.

BUT WE WOULD STILL BE IN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING PLAN? DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

IF YOU LOOKED AT THE ZONING MAP, IT WOULD SAY PD DISTRICT WITH NUMBER.

AND WHEN YOU LOOKED AT WHAT WAS PERMITTED IN THAT DISTRICT, IT WOULD SAY ANY USE AUTHORIZED IN THE I INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT SAVE AND EXCEPT AND IT WOULD ACCEPT OUT.

JUST THE SOB.

ANY OTHERS THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT PUT ON THERE.

BUT IF THAT'S JUST SOBS IS WHAT THEY WANT, THAT'S ALL IT WOULD SAY.

OKAY, WE WOULD BE OPEN TO JUST HAVING THE RESTRICTION PLACED ON THE SOB, IF THAT IS THE ONE THAT IS CAUSING THE MOST ISSUE WITH, WITH THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING, I BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO I KNOW I'M KIND OF GOING BOTH WAYS ON THIS, BUT AS LONG AS THE RESTRICTIONS ARE JUST FOR THE SOB, THEN I THINK THAT WE COULD WE CAN WORK WITH THAT. BUT I GUESS MY ONLY OTHER MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION FOR US HAVING TO MAKE THAT CHANGE IS THAT I THINK THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN PULL THIS UP OR NOT, BUT CASE 22-039 WAS PASSED ON JUNE 2ND OF THIS YEAR, WHICH WAS A STRAIGHT CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURAL TO INDUSTRIAL, AND I BELIEVE IT'S ONLY MAYBE BARELY A HALF A MILE AWAY FROM OUR CURRENT PROPERTY.

AND SO, I MEAN, JUST JUST WITH RESPECT TO EACH OF YOU GUYS, IF YOU COULD HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY IS AND OURS.

AND IT'S IN THE CITY.

YES, SIR. YEAH, IT'S 3808 SOUTH BURLESON BOULEVARD.

IT'S ONLY AND IT'S ALSO IN THE EMPLOYMENT GROWTH AREA RIGHT THERE ON HIGHWAY 35.

3808 SOUTH BURLESON BOULEVARD.

MR. MAYOR, IT'S CASE 22-039.

MR. MAYOR, THAT WAS THE ZONING CASE [INAUDIBLE].

IT WAS MR. POOLE'S ZONING CASE THAT CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

AND SO WITH REGARD TO THE DIFFERENCE, YOU KNOW, ZONING STANDS ON ITS OWN AND IT'S A SITE BY SITE CONSIDERATION.

WHEN WE LOOK AT EACH ZONING CASE, WE LOOK AT IT FROM A CONTEXT OF WHAT'S SURROUNDING THE AREA WITH WITHOUT GETTING OFF OF THE AGENDA ITEM.

BUT THERE WERE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE LOOKED AT REGARDING THE LONGEVITY OF THE USE ON THE SITE AND THE FACT THAT IT HAD BEEN SUBJECT TO A SERIES OF ESSENTIALLY CONDITIONAL USES OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS.

YOUR SITUATION IS UNIQUE AND THAT THIS IS THE APPLICATION OF THE FIRST PERMANENT ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY.

AND I THINK SOME OF WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING, WHAT THE COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING TONIGHT IS THE TOTALITY OF THOSE USES IN RELATION TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.

SO AT THE COUNCIL'S DISCRETION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL APPROVE STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING, DISAPPROVE YOUR REQUEST ON ITS PHASE OR APPROVE A MIDDLE GROUND, WHICH IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WHICH WOULD ALLOW SOME USES TO COME OFF THE TABLE.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC USE IN MIND.

AND SO I THINK PART OF THAT IS CAUSING SOME CONSTERNATION BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME USES THERE THAT ARE NOT IN LINE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS SEEN ON THE I35 CORRIDOR.

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, I'M GOING TO ADD TO THAT ARGUMENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER ONE OF THE OBJECTIONS, ONE OF THE POSSIBLE USES OF OBJECT TO THIS AUTO SALVAGE YARD, I DON'T THINK AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD IS ANYTHING THAT ANY CITY WOULD WANT TO HAVE ON THEIR MAIN CORRIDOR COMING INTO THE CITY.

YET THIS COUNCIL HAS IN THE PAST APPROVED AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD.

LKQ CAME IN FOR I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY GOT ZONING OR GOT A PD, BUT IN ANY CASE THEY ARE OPERATING AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD TECHNICALLY ON INTERSTATE

[02:25:08]

THEY SHOWED US HOW THEY SCREEN, HOW THEY ROTATE THE STOCK SO THAT IT DOESN'T STAY.

HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY CONVINCED US THAT THIS WOULD BE A VIABLE, GOOD BUSINESS THAT WE WOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE HERE.

AND IN THE FIVE OR SO YEARS SINCE THEY'VE OPERATED THERE, IT'S BEEN WHAT THEY SAID IT WOULD BE.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO DEFEND A PAST ACTION OR CRITICIZE A PAST ACTION FROM THIS COUNCIL ON A DIFFERENT PIECE OF PROPERTY BESIDES YOURS.

I DON'T LIKE SOME OF THE USES THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING.

AND AS FAR AS I MEAN, WE CAN GO DOWN ITEM BY ITEM IF YOU WANT TO.

I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD.

I DON'T LIKE CONCRETE OR ASPHALT [INAUDIBLE] PLANT, EVEN THOUGH I'M IN THE DARN BUSINESS.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WORTH I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE ON THE MAIN CORRIDOR OF BURLESON.

WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE THIS TONIGHT BASED ON ANY PAST ACTION THAT WE'VE DONE ON ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AND I'M STILL GOING TO OBJECT TO IT.

SAND AND GRAVEL MINING.

NO, THANKS. SO, I MEAN, JUST TO THROW IT OUT THERE AND SAY TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, WE HAVE NO REASON TO TAKE IT.

WELL, I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE I SAID TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

I WAS I WAS ASKING FOR AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS PROPERTY, WHICH SHE EXPLAINED.

AND I THINK THAT THAT'S FINE.

I DON'T MEAN TO BE CONFRONTATIONAL, BUT I THINK YOUR EXPLANATION IS WE DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN.

AND I'M NOT DON'T PLAN TO.

IT'S A DIFFERENT PIECE OF PROPERTY WITH A DIFFERENT IDEA, DIFFERENT BUILDINGS ON IT AND SO FORTH.

I WANT TO CONSIDER YOUR CASE TONIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RESTRICTION OF THE USES THAT STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE EXCLUDE AND GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR PD ZONING, THEN YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF USES ON THERE THAT ARE LIGHT TO MEDIUM AND SOME EVEN HEAVY USES THAT COUNCIL SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AGAIN I'M ONLY ONE OF SEVEN DOESN'T OBJECT TO THEN YOU'RE GOOD.

SO I MEAN, IT'S YOUR CALL, BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A STRAIGHT UP VOTE ON WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.

AND THE COUNCIL CAN DECIDE.

OKAY, YOUR CALL WITH WITH RESPECT, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CONTINUE WITH THE VOTE FOR STRAIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND LET YOU ALL DECIDE.

IS THAT WITH OR WITHOUT SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESS OR WHAT? [INAUDIBLE] WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT TO PURSUE THE [INAUDIBLE] UNDER THE PD UMBRELLA.

OKAY. SO YOU'RE GOING TO JUST FOR THE INDUSTRIAL.

YES, SIR. YES.

WITH NO RESTRICTION. ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE THAT MOTION.

SO SO THE PUBLIC HEARING IS STILL OPEN.

SO IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? MAYOR, IF YOU WOULD CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE.

THANK YOU. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING [INAUDIBLE].

AND WE'RE ASKING YOU EVERYTHING TONIGHT.

IS THERE AN A MOTIONAL ON THIS? I MOVE TO DENY THE MOTION.

IT'S THEIR SECOND. SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION TO DENY BY MCCLENDON AND THE SECOND BY VICTORIA.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NINE B.

[9B. Consider approval of a resolution declaring intention to reimburse an amount not to exceed $65,100,000 for capital projects related to Chisholm Summit roadway infrastructure, industrial business park, various parks and trail improvements, improvements in Old Town and Ellison Street project within the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2, improvements and extensions to water and sewer systems, public safety improvements, streets, drainage and public mobility infrastructure improvements including traffic signal improvement, median improvements, and the acquisition of right-of-way throughout the City. The resolution will allow the ability to begin incurring capital expenditure cost on these project with the intent of reimbursing the cost incurred with proceeds from bond debt to be issued at a future date, and placing time restrictions on the issuance of tax-exempt obligations. (Staff Presenter: Martin Avila, Finance Director)]

NUMBER TWO IMPROVEMENTS AND EXTENSIONS TO WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS, PUBLIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, STREETS, DRAINAGE AND PUBLIC MOBILITY, INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS, MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS AND THE ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH THE CITY.

THE RESOLUTION WILL ALLOW WILL ALLOW THE ABILITY TO BEGIN INCURRING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COST ON THESE PROJECTS WITH THE INTENT OF REIMBURSING THE COST INCURRED WITH PROCEEDS FROM BOND DEBT TO BE ISSUED AT A FUTURE DATE AND PLACING TIME RESTRICTIONS ON THE ISSUANCE OF TAX EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS.

MY GOODNESS, MARTIN.

YEAH. YEAH.

IT WAS ALL ONE SENTENCE, TOO.

THANK YOU. YEAH, IT WAS.

STAFF PRESENTER TONIGHT IS MARTIN AVILA, OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, WHO CONTINUES TO INCREASE THE WORDS IN HIS SUBJECT LINES.

THANK YOU, AMANDA. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[02:30:03]

JUST LET YOU KNOW IT'S ON MY CALENDAR, REALLY EXCITED.

JUST JUST WANT TO SAY THAT.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN YOU THIS ENTHUSIASTIC.

YEAH, I ASK.

I ASKED MY WIFE. OKAY, YOU GOT TWO CHOICES.

YOU COULD DO DATE NIGHT OR FAMILY NIGHT FOR THAT NIGHT.

SO SHE HASN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME JUST YET.

BUT I'M EXCITED. I REALLY AM EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

CAN YOU BRING IT UP, JAMES? I GOT YOU, JAMES [INAUDIBLE].

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION, WHAT IT IS, IS THAT IT IT ALLOWS THE ABILITY FOR STAFF TO BEGIN FUNDING PROJECTS THAT IN ESSENCE, HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS PART OF A BOND ISSUE PROGRAM.

AND AGAIN, THE CITY ANTICIPATES TO ISSUE BONDS IN JULY 2023.

ONE OF THE CRITERIA'S WE TALK ABOUT IS THAT IT HAS NORMALLY HAVE 18 MONTHS TO ISSUE BONDS TO COVER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

WHEN BONDS ARE ISSUED, BONDS WILL IN ESSENCE, REIMBURSE FOR THE AMOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN SPENT UP TO THAT POINT.

AND AVAILABLE PROCEEDS GOING FORWARD WILL BE USED TO TO COVER THE REMAINING PROJECTS THAT ARE THERE.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS IMPORTANT RESOLUTION.

THIS PARTICULAR REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION IS NOT AN AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE BONDS.

IT'S JUST THE ABILITY FOR STAFF TO BEGIN WORKING ON ANY OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WERE LISTED AND ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD IN REGARDS TO THAT.

AS A SUMMARY ON JULY 5TH.

AND AGAIN, IT'S PART OF THE WHOLE ENTIRE BUDGET PROCESS.

WE STAFF HAS COME IN AND PRESENTED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR PARKS AND RECREATIONS UNDER THE 4B, 4A AS IT RELATES TO AGAIN, A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION TODAY FOR CHISHOLM SUMMIT AND AND INDUSTRIAL PARKS IMPROVEMENTS.

WE ALSO PROVIDED THE CIP PLAN FOR THE THE VOTER APPROVED BOND ELECTION PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE WATER AND SEWER FIVE YEAR CIP PROGRAM AS WELL.

SO ON JULY 5TH, STAFF PRESENTED A REPORT THAT TALKED ABOUT ALL THOSE DIFFERENT FIVE YEAR CIP PLANS, KIND OF BRINGING THEM TOGETHER AND THEN AGAIN IN AUGUST, ON AUGUST 4TH, WHEN THE CITY MANAGER PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AS PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET AT THAT POINT, ALSO INCLUDED THAT FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN.

AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 12, COUNCIL APPROVED THE FINAL READING OF THE BUDGET AND AGAIN INCORPORATING THAT FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN.

THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU A RECAP OF WHAT THE SUMMARIES OF EACH OF THE CATEGORIES THAT WE HAD AS PART OF THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROGRAM.

AND AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT ABOUT $9.3 MILLION.

THAT IS IN ESSENCE WHAT IS TIED TO THE VOTER APPROVAL BOND PROGRAM.

THE OTHER ONES, THE 4B THE FOYER, THE WATER AND SEWER.

THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL CIP PLANS AND THOSE ARE ALL SELF SUPPORTED DEBT PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN LISTED.

AND THEN AGAIN, AS PART OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO PROVIDED, WE BROUGHT IN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF THAT FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN.

SOME OF THAT WAS ADDITIONAL DEBT CAPACITY, SOME OF THAT WAS AS PART OF THE TIRZ NUMBER THREE, THE TOD THAT WE IN ESSENCE DISSOLVED.

WE HAD SOME DEBT CAPACITY IN THERE AS WELL.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THAT COMBINED THE THE THE ACTUAL REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION AND TOTAL OF THE WHOLE BOND PROGRAM JUST FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 IS IN ESSENCE APPROXIMATELY $65.1 MILLION.

SO YOU GOT THE $9.3 AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM FOR THE VOTER APPROVAL.

YOU GOT THE $14.9 FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATIONS THAT WE SUPPORTED BY 4B, WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE 4B BOARD AS WELL, AND THEY ALSO APPROVED RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT.

PART OF THAT, WE HAD THE 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR [INAUDIBLE] $30 MILLION.

AND AGAIN, IT TALKED ABOUT THIS CHISHOLM SUMMIT, WE TALKED ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL PARKS AND THERE WAS A LOT OF ITEMS TODAY THAT WERE KIND OF IN ESSENCE, PART OF THAT THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE.

WATER AND SEWER IS ANOTHER $9 MILLION IN REGARDS TO THOSE PROJECTS, ADDITIONAL CAPITAL PROJECTS OF ABOUT $400,000.

AND THEN WE ALSO ADDED A TIF TO PORTION OF THE ELLISON ST PROJECT.

ERIC OSCARSON HAD BROUGHT AN ITEM BACK IN JUNE THAT TALKED ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL PROJECT, THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT THAT WE WANTED TO PUT INTO THE ELLISON STREET PROJECT, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE INCLUDED THAT AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM THAT WILL BE SELF SUPPORTED BY THE TIF ZONE, SPECIFICALLY IN THE OLD TOWN DISTRICT.

AND SO, AGAIN, INDIVIDUALLY, EACH PROGRAM IS THIS THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WERE PART OF THE THE WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS AS TO HOW WE WERE GOING TO GO ABOUT GOING

[02:35:04]

SO THERE IS A $9.3 MILLION.

AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE WATER AND SEWER FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN AND WE HAVE ABOUT $9 MILLION THERE THAT WE IDENTIFIED PROJECTS TO ISSUE BONDS SPECIFICALLY UNDER THE WATER AND SEWER SELF-SUPPORTING DEBT PROGRAM.

AND THEN AGAIN, PARKS.

IF YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE PROJECTS THEY ARE, AGAIN, IT IS IT IS ABOUT $14.9 MILLION THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE DEBT.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE 4A.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT, NEW INDUSTRIAL PARKS.

WE HAVE $30 BILLION THAT WE HAVE IN ESSENCE PROJECTED THAT WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE BONDS FOR THIS YEAR.

AND THESE ARE THE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO COUNCIL AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS.

AND THE TWO THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN ESSENCE IS THE $407,000 THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED FOR THIS YEAR AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM TO ISSUE DEBT.

AND AGAIN, THE THE REQUEST THAT WE'RE ASKING IS FOR COUNCIL TO PASS THIS INTENT TO REIMBURSE RESOLUTION IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $65.1 MILLION TO FUND TO BEGIN FUNDING THE 2023 CIP PROGRAM.

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A A DISCUSSION ABOUT WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE DEBT.

WE'RE APPROVING THAT. IT IS JUST GIVING US THE STAFF THE ABILITY TO BEGIN STARTING THESE PROJECTS GOING FORWARD.

ALL THESE PROJECTS, WE CONTINUE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

AND SO EACH TIME AT THAT POINT, THOSE DISCUSSIONS CAN BE DONE.

AND IF PROJECTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE DONE AT THAT POINT, THEN WE DON'T ISSUE DEBT FOR THOSE AND WE DON'T START THOSE PROJECTS GOING FORWARD.

SO THIS IS MORE SO IT IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN WHAT THE CIP PLAN THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND WHAT WE PLAN TO ANTICIPATE ISSUING DEBT AT THE END.

BUT THOSE NUMBERS CAN CHANGE OVER TIME.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

ANY QUESTIONS? ARE WE READY? YEP. YES, SIR. IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? SECOND. VICTORIA.

[INAUDIBLE] WERE YOU MAKING THE MOTION?[INAUDIBLE] SECOND BY VICTORIA, PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU, MARTIN. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[10. CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS AND FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AND REPORTS]

[INAUDIBLE] YES.

I WOULD LIKE TO BRING FORWARD THE POSSIBILITY AND TAKING A LOOK AT GETTING 2 TO 3 PARKING SIGNS FOR THE BURLESON HERITAGE FOUNDATION LOCATION.

I VISITED WITH THEM RECENTLY AND IT'S A CHALLENGE THAT THEY'RE HAVING WITH SO MANY RESTAURANTS COMING INTO THE AREA WHERE EVEN THE RESTAURANTS HAVE THEIR OWN TO GO PARKING. BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY PARKING SPOTS NEAR THERE THAT SAY DURING THEIR BUSINESS HOURS, WHICH IS LIKE WEDNESDAY.

IT'S LIMITED.

BUT I WANT TO ALSO CONSIDER THAT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE ARE ARE OLDER.

AND SO I WOULD THINK THREE SPOTS RIGHT THERE NEAR THE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING WOULD BE NICE TO WHERE IT JUST SAYS PLEASE NOTE NO PARKING DURING THESE PARTICULAR HOURS OR PARKING FOR THE BURLESON VISITOR CENTER DURING THESE PARTICULAR HOURS.

OKAY, THANKS.

GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. WE'RE GOOD.

WE DO HAVE A NEED TO CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[11.RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION]

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS.

WE'RE GOING EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 7:42.
