THE STAFF CONTACT THIS EVENING IS TONY MCLLWAIN, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS THE CITY SECRETARY MENTIONED, THIS IS A ETJ RELEASE PETITION SUBMITTED BY MR. ANTHONY MEEKER. THIS IS FOR RELEASE OF APPROXIMATELY TEN ACRES OF LAND AT 3005 WEST FM 917.

THERE'S NO FORMAL PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM. HOWEVER, YOUR OPTIONS ARE TO EITHER APPROVE THE PETITION OR TAKE NO ACTION.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS, TONY. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[7.A. 6885 County Road 518 (ZC26-003): Hold a public hearing and consider and take possible action on a zoning ordinance change request on approximately 56.362 acres of land from A, Agriculture to PD, Planned Development. (First and Final Reading) (Staff Contact: Tony McIlwain, Development Services Director) (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial 7-1)]

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 7, DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.

6.A IS 6885 COUNTY ROAD 518. THIS IS ZC26-003.

TONIGHT IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE REQUEST FROM APPROXIMATELY 56.362 ACRES OF LAND FROM A AGRICULTURAL TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON FIRST AND FINAL READING.

THE STAFF PRESENTER IS TONY MCLLWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

MR. MCLLWAIN. THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS YOUR FIRST ZONING ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

IT IS FOR ZONING REQUESTS FROM AGRICULTURAL TO PLANT DEVELOPMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS PETE FLOWERS AND ALSO JBT BURLESON.

LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IS 6885 COUNTY ROAD 518.

AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL.

ON THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN YOU SEE ALL THE OTHER ADJACENT AGRICULTURAL ZONING USES.

TOWARD THE FURNITURE ALONG I-35 WE DO HAVE COMMERCIAL ZONING THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

HOWEVER, THE PROPERTY SITS WITHIN THE CITY'S EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER, LANES DESIGNATION.

WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED TONIGHT IS TO ALLOW A BASELINE ZONING OF INDUSTRIAL.

WITH SOME USES THAT ARE ALLOWED AND SOME NOT, BUT AN OVERLAY PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO INCORPORATE THE BUSINESS PARK DESIGN STANDARDS.

SO WHAT WE HAVE ON THE LEFT ARE THE USES ALLOWED BY RIGHT.

YOU'LL SEE DATA PROCESSING, HOSTING AND RELATED SERVICES, LOGISTICS FACILITIES.

THAT IS CURRENTLY USED, THAT'S ALLOWED WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICT.

I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION EARLIER THIS EVENING ON THAT. I'LL JUST REMIND THE COUNCIL THIS IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

AND SHOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE DIALOG ABOUT SOME OF THE PERMITTED USES OR REMOVE SOME OF THE PERMITTED USES, YOU'RE AUTHORIZED WITHIN YOUR ABILITY TO DO SO.

TO THE RIGHT WE HAVE PROPOSED PLANT DEVELOPMENT USES THAT REQUIRE AN SUP.

THESE WOULD BE ANTENNA FACILITIES. I'LL PAUSE THERE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL HAS OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK THROUGH THE USES AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I ADVANCE TO THE NEXT SLIDE. TONY, THE THINGS THAT YOU HAD LISTED FOR THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN SUP.

THOSE ARE JUST YOU JUST THREW THOSE OUT AS EXAMPLES ARE THOSE THINGS THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE ORDINANCE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED TONIGHT.

NOW, THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN DISCUSSED BY THE APPLICANT.

THERE'S NO INTENTION FOR THEM TO DO THAT. OKAY. THANKS.

[00:25:02]

I WOULD SAY THAT WITH THAT QUESTION WITH SUPS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL.

ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY OF THE USES? OKAY.

THESE ARE THE LIST OF PROHIBITED USES. SO THE PD THAT'S BEING CONTEMPLATED DOESN'T ALLOW ANY OF THESE USES THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT, BUT THESE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

THOSE ARE SOME OF YOUR HEAVIER INTENSE USES WITH THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT.

THE APPLICANT FEELS THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE THAT.

AS FAR HAVE THOSE USES AS FAR AS BEING THINGS THAT ARE CONTEMPLATED AND STAFF WOULD NOT SUPPORT THOSE TYPES OF USES IN THE AREA.

ESSENTIALLY, YEAH. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAW IS LIKE AN ADDITION.

IT'S A NEW BUSINESS PARK, ESSENTIALLY. IT LOOKED VERY SIMILAR, JUST ON A SMALLER SCALE TO WHAT WE HAVE AT HIGHPOINT.

YES. AND TONY IT'S, THE, IS IT, IT WILL HAVE A BASE ZONING OF INDUSTRIAL.

AND THEN WE'LL STRIP OUT THESE USES AND THEN ADD IN THESE OTHER USES.

RIGHT, SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS THE PREVIOUS SCREEN WOULD BE THE USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT UNLESS YOU WANT TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS.

NONE OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE CONTEMPLATED AND INCORPORATED IN THE PD AT ALL.

OKAY. SO THIS IS THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT STAFF LOOKED AT AND REVIEWED WITH THE APPLICANT. WHAT WE HAVE ARE TWO LARGE BUILDINGS WITH TWO ACCESS POINTS FROM THE FEEDER ROAD.

THERE ARE NO PROPOSED ACCESS POINTS RIGHT NOW TO BE TAKEN FROM THE, FROM THE COUNTY ROAD.

WHAT YOU HAVE IS THE PARKING ORIENTED TO THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE BUILDINGS IN BOTH INSTANCES.

DURING OUR DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THERE WERE QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT THE SCALE OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILDINGS TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES. SO WITH THIS BEING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THIS CONCEPT SITE PLAN IS PART OF YOUR CONSIDERATION. SO IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT THE LAYOUT, THE SCOPE AND SIZE OF THE BUILDINGS, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO ENGAGE IN THOSE QUESTIONS WITH THE APPLICANT WHO IS IN ATTENDANCE, AND I CAN TRY MY BEST TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

WITH THIS USE, ANYTIME YOU HAVE A INDUSTRIAL USE AND IT'S UP AGAINST A RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY OR PROPERTY, THAT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, SOME OF THE ADJACENT USES ARE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, BUT THEY'RE USED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES.

THERE'S TRANSITIONAL SCREENING THAT'S REQUIRED.

SO OUR CODE REQUIRES AN EIGHT FOOT TALL WALL TO BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE FULL LENGTH OF THE PROPERTY, AS IT ABUTS ANY RESIDENTIAL USE, ANY ADJACENT PROPERTY.

SO THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ARTICULATED IN THE CODE, WHENEVER WE HAVE AN INSTANCE OF SOMETHING BEING NOT MENTIONED IN THE CODE, WE DEFAULT TO THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.

COUNTY WHAT'S THE REQUIREMENTS ON THE WALL? I MEAN, I DON'T WANT A PIECE OF JUNK AROUND SOMEBODY'S PROPERTY.

YES, SIR, SO OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE SOLID MASONRY OR REINFORCED CONCRETE.

NOW, WITH THIS BEING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO CONTEMPLATE OTHER THINGS IN ADDITION TO THAT, AS FAR AS ANY ENHANCED STANDARDS, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT IF YOU THINK THAT'S NECESSARY TO MITIGATE WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.

YOU ALSO CAN LOOK AT THE POSITIONING OF THE BUILDINGS ON THE SITE.

BUT I WOULD TELL YOU, FOR THOSE TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS, WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT THAT WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION FOLLOWING MINE THAT MAY ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS AS WELL. DO YOU WANT DO WE WANT HIS PRESENTATION BEFORE WE OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING? THAT'S UP TO YOU. COUNCIL. I HAVE IT LOADED. I MEAN, THEY ARE THE APPLICANT.

SO I THINK IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THEIR PRESENTATION.

OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, I'LL DEFER TO YOU. ANY OPINION? YOU WANT TO HEAR? YES. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR PRESENTATION, PLEASE.

I'M GOING TO EXIT OUT OF THIS AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD.

MAYOR, CAN WE LET TONY FINISH HIS APPLICATION OR FINISH HIS PRESENTATION AND THE APPLICANT DO IT? ABSOLUTELY. SORRY, TONY. NO, NO WORRIES. I WAS.

SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT JUMPING AROUND. SO THIS NEXT SLIDE BASICALLY DETAILS THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WERE NOTIFIED.

[00:30:02]

I WILL SAY THAT DURING THE COURSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WE DID HAVE FOUR INDIVIDUALS THAT SPOKE.

THREE OF THEM WERE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS THAT SPOKE IN OPPOSITION OR HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT.

AND THEN ALSO WE HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE DEVELOPER THAT WAS IN ATTENDANCE.

THERE WERE CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT THE SCALE OF THE BUILDING, THE CONSISTENCY OF THE USE WITH SOME OF THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL HOME SITES.

THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE HOURS OF OPERATION, PARKING, NOISE, PRIVACY, TRAFFIC.

THOSE CONCERNS WERE RAISED DURING THE ZONING COMMISSION MEETING. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS FOR APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE CITY'S MID-POINT UPDATE PLAN.

THIS IS AN EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER AND IT IS PUT IN PLACE TO PROMOTE COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY USES.

THAT'S DIRECTLY FROM OUR CODE. I WILL TELL YOU THAT DURING THE COURSE OF CONVERSATION, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO YOU IS TO NOT SUPPORT THE PROJECT BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 1. THERE WERE AGAIN, FOUR SPEAKERS, THREE IN OPPOSITION, ONE SUPPORT.

THE COMMISSIONERS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ROADWAY IMPACTS, THE ETJ LOCATION OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

STAFF, OF COURSE, TOOK A CONTRARY OPINION AND SAID THAT THE PROPERTY IS CONSISTENT AND ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OF ME, AND THEN HAND THE CONVERSATION OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? YEAH. GO AHEAD. ALL RIGHT.

AWESOME. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS TOPPER SHEEHY WITH DOLLAR-FLOWERS REALTY PARTNERS.

AS MENTIONED, WE ARE HERE TO REQUEST A ZONING APPROVAL OF 56 ACRES ON I-35 INTO A PD THAT'S BASED ON THE BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY.

THIS SORT OF OUTLINES, AGAIN, WHAT MR. TONY TALKED ABOUT IN THE EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER.

AS WE SORT OF LOOK THROUGH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS FIRMLY IN THE PURPLE AREA THAT HAS BEEN NOTED AS THE EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER.

IMAGINE BURLESON HAS GUIDED THE CORRIDOR SINCE 2010.

IN THE 2020 MIDPOINT UPDATE REAFFIRMED THIS AREA AS THAT GROWTH CENTER.

AND REALLY, TWO THINGS MATTER RELATIVE TO OUR APPLICATION.

FIRST, THE MIDPOINT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS HIGHPOINT AS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THIS CORRIDOR.

AND WE'RE FOLLOWING THAT STANDARD. SECOND, THE LAND USE, WHICH IS THE SECOND QUOTE, SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT THE TYPE OF PRODUCT THAT WE INTEND TO BUILD. AND AGAIN, OUR PD IS MODELED AGAINST HIGHPOINT, AND WE PULLED A LOT OF THOSE USES DIRECTLY FROM THE HIGHPOINT PD.

ANOTHER QUOTE FROM IMAGINE BURLESON. WE ARE ORIENTING THIS PRODUCT TYPE AND TALKING TO USERS THAT ARE GOING TO REFLECT THE TYPE OF EMPLOYEE THAT THE MIDPOINT UPDATE CALLS OUT.

SO REALLY, MOBILITY OF SKILLED WORKERS SUCH AS LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING.

AS WE SORT OF LOOK AT THE MAP AND WHY THIS MAKES SENSE.

OUR 56-ACRE PARCEL FRONTS I-35 WEST, WHICH IS ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT FREIGHT CORRIDOR IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CONNECTING MEXICO TO CANADA. WE ARE ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM HIGHPOINT BUSINESS PARK.

THIS IS GOING TO MATTER IN A FEW SLIDES, BUT BEYOND THAT, IT MAKES SENSE FOR OUR PROPERTY TO BE IN A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REALLY FOR THREE KEY REASONS. FIRST, AS WE MENTIONED, IT'S PART OF THE OVERALL PLAN.

SECOND, IT'S MID-BLOCK. IT'S BOUNDED BY AN LKQ, WHICH IS AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD TO THE SOUTH, AN AEROSPACE TESTING FACILITY TO THE WEST. AND THERE'S A PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANT THAT SERVES AN RV PARK AND A MOTEL TO THE NORTH.

WE JUST CAN'T BUILD MULTIFAMILY, RETAIL OR OFFICE IN THIS LOCATION, IT'S JUST FRANKLY NOT VIABLE FOR THAT.

AND THEN IT'S ALSO A PERFECT CONTINUATION OF THE LOGISTICS CORRIDOR.

YOUR CITY AND EDC HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB OF, OF ATTRACTING GLOBAL USERS SUCH AS CHICKEN EXPRESS, GOLDEN STATE FOOD, PARIS BAGUETTE, AND WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE THAT VISION.

THIS IS REALLY WHAT IS CURRENTLY ON THE EAST SIDE OF I-35.

YOU CAN SEE THAT TREAT AREA ON THE, IT'S MY LEFT.

I THINK IT'S YOUR LEFT AS WELL OF THE SCREEN.

AND I JUST WANT TO CONTRAST THAT QUICKLY TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING AT HIGHPOINT ON THE OTHER SIDE.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE VERY WELL LANDSCAPED, LARGE BOULEVARDS, PROMINENT SIGNAGE.

AS YOU SORT OF LOOK INTO THE USERS THESE ARE LARGE SCALED GLOBAL FOOTPRINT COMPANIES THAT HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO REALLY

[00:35:03]

KEEP MAINTAIN THIS TYPE OF PARK SETTING, WHICH WE WANT TO BUILD ON.

AND THAT REALLY BRINGS US TO THE ELEMENT THAT WE'RE REALLY MOST EXCITED ABOUT, WHICH IS SORT OF OUR VISION OF WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE.

WE DO WANT TO KEEP THIS CONSISTENT WITH HIGHPOINT.

WE DO PULL IN DESIGN ELEMENTS IN THIS RENDERING.

WE'RE PULLING SOME OF THE STONE FEATURES FROM THE SIGNAGE.

WE'RE KIND OF KEEPING THAT TEXAS LANDSCAPING THAT I HOPE WE'RE ALL PROUD OF FROM THE, YOU KNOW, THE CHICKEN EXPRESS SITE. THESE USERS ALSO ARE THE TYPE, THEY ALSO ARE IN A WAR FOR TALENT.

AND THEY DO ATTRACT THE TYPE OF EMPLOYEES THAT I BELIEVE THAT BURLESON WANTS.

AGAIN, UPWARD MOBILITY FOR SKILLED LABOR, AS MENTIONED IN THE PLAN.

BEYOND THAT, THEY ALSO BRING A HIGHER DEGREE EMPLOYEE BECAUSE THESE FACILITIES REQUIRE SALES TECHNICIANS, SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYSTS, AND REALLY OTHER JOBS THAT SUPPORT WAREHOUSE LABOR.

AS WE MOVE ON AGAIN, THERE'S ADDED BENEFITS AS WELL THROUGH TAX BASE.

CURRENTLY THIS LAND IS EITHER IN AG OR IN THE COUNTY, AND THE CITY RECEIVES VERY LITTLE TAX BASE FROM IT.

THIS WILL CHANGE THAT JOBS AND THEN ALSO SCALED INVESTMENT FROM SOME OF THESE LARGE USERS.

SO AS NOT TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE, WE REALLY THINK THERE'S FIVE KEY REASONS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS CASE.

FIRST IS BECAUSE IT'S IN THE PLAN. SECOND, WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF WAREHOUSING IN HIGHPOINT, WHICH IS A HIGHER SPEC THAN AN AVERAGE INDUSTRIAL PARK.

THIS CITY, IT WILL BRING JOBS TO THE CITY THAT IMAGINE BURLESON CALLS FOR THE LOCATION AND SURROUNDING AREAS REALLY MAKE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS UNFEASIBLE.

AND FIFTH, IT WILL CREATE CONSISTENCY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

ANYBODY? OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. I APPRECIATE IT.

AND THEN QUICKLY ON THE RECORD, IF DATA CENTER IS A IS A IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT.

WE ARE HAPPY TO INCLUDE THAT AS A AS A PROHIBITED USE.

THAT IS NOT AT ALL WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD OR GET APPROVAL FOR. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

THANK YOU. CAN WE GO BACK TO THE P&Z AND THEY EXPLAIN WHY THEY DENIED IT? YES, MR. MAYOR. DURING THE COURSE OF THE CONVERSATION, QUESTIONS WERE RAISED REGARDING TRAFFIC IMPACTS.

QUESTIONS WERE RAISED REGARDING THE ADJACENCY OF THE HOMESTEAD PROPERTIES OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, AND THE IMPACT OF THIS OPERATION ON THEIR ABILITY TO ENJOY THEIR PROPERTY.

THERE WERE CONCERNS THAT THE COMMISSIONERS HAD REGARDING THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILDING TO THE LOT LINES OF SOME OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

COMMISSIONERS? PLAN AND ZONNING COMMISSIONERS.

OKAY. OKAY. AND ALSO HOURS OF OPERATION. POSSIBLE NOISE FROM DELIVERY.

TRUCK TRAFFIC. THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WERE DISCUSSED AS WELL DURING THE COURSE OF THAT MEETING.

WILL THERE BE A TRAFFIC STUDY ON THIS BEFORE WE IMPLEMENT? WILL THERE BE. A TRAFFIC STUDY ON THIS? ANYBODY? COUNCIL? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY, SO I GUESS I'M CONFUSED ON WHY IF IT MEETS OUR OVERLAYS.

I'M NOT UNDERSTAND IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE WAS A WHILE THEY WERE AGAINST IT.

LIKE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A VALID REASON SINCE IT DOES GO WITH OUR PLANS.

AND WHERE THIS IS LOCATED. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

I MEAN, THAT IS ALREADY SUPPOSED, WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT THAT AS INDUSTRIAL AREA, CORRECT? IT IS SET ASIDE. IT IS DESIGNATED FOR EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER, WHICH DOES INCLUDE INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS PARK OVERLAY. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I BELIEVE THAT THE SPEAKERS WERE PERSUASIVE AND COMPELLING IN THEIR CONCERNS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS. AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT CONCERN AND THAT ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION PROBABLY FACTORED INTO THEIR VOTING POSTURE.

WE TOTALLY RESPECT THE CONVERSATION THAT WAS HAD, BUT I THINK THAT WAS SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE VOICED.

AND I THINK THAT CARRIES SOME WEIGHT WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

OKAY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. TONY, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MASONRY WALL, AND THERE CAN BE ALSO ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE PUT INTO THE PD OR THEY'RE ALREADY THERE.

[00:40:02]

SO THEY'RE NOT EXPLICITLY CALLED OUT IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

WE JUST DEFAULT TO THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS IN OUR CODE.

OKAY. TONY, JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM IT, WE HAVE AN AUTO SALVAGE.

AND RIGHT PAST THAT WE HAVE THE TROPHY TRACTOR, THE MCLEAN CLASSIC FOODS, AND SEVERAL OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES.

AND NEXT TO THEM IS FORGOTTEN LANE, WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL ON ONE SIDE.

WERE THESE BUSINESSES REQUIRED TO PUT UP THOSE WALLS? TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE CODE HAS NOT CHANGED AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT I HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT THE CONVERSATIONS WERE WITH TRANSITIONAL SCREENING FOR THOSE PROPERTIES. COUNCIL. COUNCILMAN SCOTT.

BUT OUR CODE CURRENTLY REQUIRES THAT. I KNOW THAT I HAD TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT THE COMMENTS WERE, SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT DEFINITIVELY WITHOUT GOING TO LOOK AT THE STAFF COMMENTS.

OKAY. WELL, I'M LOOKING AT IT HERE ON THE MAP AND I DON'T SEE ANY TRANSITIONAL SCREENING.

LARRY, I RECALL FROM THE LKQ ISSUE YEARS AGO THAT THERE WAS CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO THE TO THE TERRAIN ALONG THE ROADWAY, THAT THE LKQ PROPERTY WAS QUITE A BIT HIGHER.

AND AT THE TIME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW, BUT AT THE TIME THERE WAS A MORE OR LESS NATURAL BELT OF TREES AND VEGETATION THAT ACCOMPLISHED THE PURPOSE OF A WALL. AND I DON'T HONESTLY REMEMBER.

I'M NOT GOING TO PRETEND TO REMEMBER THAT LONG BACK. WHAT THE WHAT THE RESOLUTION OF IT WAS.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT WAS ADDRESSED AND A DECISION WAS MADE TO THE EFFECT THAT IT WAS EFFECTIVELY MET THE RULES.

AND I REMEMBER ON P&Z, BEING ON P&Z, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH LKQ BECAUSE THE TREES ALL DIED AND THERE WASN'T A WALL BUILT, AND THE NEIGHBORS GOT THE DUST STORM EVERY TIME THE SOUTH WIND BLEW.

BUT, AND SO I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE SHOULD CONSIDER TONIGHT IS PUTTING IN SOME SAFEGUARDS ON THAT.

AND THAT'S WHY WE RESPECT OUR LONG-TERM TENURE ON THE COUNCIL, BOTH OF THEM.

YOU DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO LIVE SCREENING.

AND SO IN SOME INSTANCES WHERE COUNCILS HAVE PREVIOUSLY OPTED TO DO THAT AS OPPOSED TO HAVING A FENCE OR TRANSITIONAL HARDSCAPING, THEY'VE OPTED TO PUT IN LIVE SCREENING.

THAT WAS A PARTICULAR CASE WITH LKQ. I THINK IF THEY'RE ALREADY PLANNING ON PUTTING IN THE DEMO THAT WE JUST SAW, IT LOOKED LIKE THE WALL WAS ALREADY IN THERE SERVING AS A BUFFER, IF YOU WILL.

I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. SO WILL THE BUFFER GO OR THE WALL, IT'LL GO BACK TO WHERE THE RED LINES ARE? SO, WELL, THE SCREENING SHALL RUN THE ENTIRETY.

GET TO MY NOTES HERE. SHALL BE LOCATED WITHIN AND ALONG THE OUTER PERIMETER OF A LOT OR BOUNDARY LINE, AND ENTIRELY ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. NO PART OF ANY SCREENING DEVICE SHALL BE LOCATED IN PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY OR ENCROACH WITHIN THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A MICRO SCALE OF A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN, YOU MAY TURN IN A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN THAT'S LESS ACREAGE THAN YOU OWN IN THIS IN, IN ITS ENTIRETY. SO THE PROJECT SCOPE IS JUST FOR CERTAIN AREAS, AND THE STAFF WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE SCREENING IS FOR THAT AREA.

THE PROJECT EXPANDS, SO THE NEED TO HAVE ADDITIONAL TRANSITIONAL SCREENING.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SCREENING IN THE POND? I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS TO DO THAT. I'LL HAVE TO DEFER TO THE APPLICANT ON THAT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT COUNCILMAN SCOTT.

I THINK. WE'RE HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW, DO RIGHT BY ALL STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED AND PUT A WALL WHERE, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS A RESIDENT WOULD LIKE IT.

IF THEY WANT TO SEE THE POND WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS CONCEPTUAL IN NATURE.

WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH YOUR EDC ON SEVERAL USERS, AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.

THIS ISN'T SET IN STONE, BUT WE WILL RESPECT ALL TYPES OF CODE AND WE DON'T FIGHT CITIES ON WHAT THEY WANT.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO BE A TEAM PLAYER THERE. ANYBODY ELSE? I THINK IF WE DO MAKE SOME SORT OF A MOVE ON THE DATA PROCESSING ISSUE, I PERSONALLY THINK THAT WHAT WE

[00:45:08]

SHOULD DO IS MOVE THAT OVER TO THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REQUIREMENT, BUT NOT TAKE IT COMPLETELY OUT.

MY RATIONALE THERE IS THAT A DATA CENTER IS A VERY BROAD TERM.

IT CAN BE THESE TERRIBLE, YOU KNOW, BITCOIN MINING PLACES THAT ARE JUST HORRIBLE OR IT CAN BE A PROCESSING.

WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE A PROCESSING FACILITY ON THE GROUND, ON CENTER DRIVE THAT NEVER BOTHERS ANYBODY.

SO RATHER THAN JUST OUTLAW IT OR INCLUDE IT, I'D RATHER HAVE THE DISCRETION LATER ON TO DECIDE WHETHER ANY PROPOSED DATA PROCESSING BUSINESS MEETS THE THRESHOLD OF BEING A NUISANCE OR NOT, AND POSTPONE THAT DECISION UNTIL IT'S NECESSARY, BUT NOT RULE IT OUT BY DEFINITION. MAYOR PRO TEM, JUST TO KIND OF ECHO, WE'LL KIND OF GO ON THAT.

TONY, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE USES AGAIN THE ALLOWED USES.

MY SUGGESTION WAS GOING TO BE TO PUT DATA CENTERS, DATA PROCESSING, HOSTING AND RELATED SERVICES AS A PROHIBITED USE, BUT LEAVE LOGISTICS FACILITIES AS A BY RIGHT.

BUT I UNDERSTAND MOVING IT TO SUP. BUT IF WE MAKE IT A PROHIBITED USE, YOU CAN ALWAYS AMEND THE P D LATER TO PUT SOMETHING BACK IN THAT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S RIGHT WITHOUT HAVING TO DO THE SUP, I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT TO WHERE WE HAVE TO APPROVE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT CHECKS THE BOXES. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE GET THE PUBLIC HEARING FEEDBACK, AND THEN SEE IF WE CAN HAVE A MORE TARGETED CONVERSATION ON SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE SPEAKERS MAY HAVE ABOUT THE USES. OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS UP HERE FOR OUR CALL, THE PUBLIC HEARING? THEN I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:16.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE OFFICE IN THE GALLERY THAT LIKE TO SPEAK? SPEAKER CARDS, SIR. HOW MANY YOU GOT? FOUR. THREE FOR CERTAIN.

ONE POSSIBLE. CAN YOU SWITCH OVER, PLEASE? THANK YOU.

FIRST SPEAKER I HAVE IS CHRIS REED.

HELLO. MY NAME IS CHRIS REED. BEAR WITH ME, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS UP HERE, BUT GOING OFF WHAT TONY WAS TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT THE ZONING COMMITTEE AND HOW THEY DENIED IT.

HE SAID WE WERE PERSUASIVE, I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY.

WELL, HE TOOK THE PICTURE DOWN AND I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF PICTURES, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL SAW, BUT THAT'S MY HOME. I'M SURROUNDED BY THIS FACILITY THAT THEY'RE BUILDING.

THIS FACILITY IS BUTTING UP RIGHT UP TO MY FENCE.

Y'ALL SENT A NOTICE OUT SAYING 300-FOOT BUFFER TO NOTIFY PEOPLE.

I LIVE AT GROUND ZERO. MY FENCE IS THAT ZERO.

AND MY SWIMMING POOL, MY HOUSE AND EVERYTHING IS 50-FOOT, 100-FOOT FROM THIS FENCE.

THEY'RE PROPOSING A DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSE, TWO DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE MY BACK DOOR AND EVERYTHING LINES UP WITH THEIR LOADING DOCKS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE 18 WHEELERS RUNNING ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT, 24/7 COMING TO THIS FACILITY.

WHEN THEY COME TO THIS FACILITY THERE'S MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO BE CAUSED BY THIS.

NOISE ISSUES THAT 18-WHEELER WITH AIR HORNS THAT.

AND I BROUGHT THIS UP IN THE ZONING COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THAT AN 18-WHEELER IS NOT GOING TO SIT THERE AND BUMP HIS AIR HORN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TELLING HIS BUDDY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OR A TRUCK'S IN THE WAY. WELL, MY HOUSE IS THERE. I'VE GOT TO LIVE THERE.

I GOT TO SLEEP. I GOT A FAMILY THAT LIVES THERE.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THE LIGHTS THAT ARE ON THIS FACILITY ARE NOT GOING TO SHINE ON MY PROPERTY AT NIGHT.

THAT IS A NUISANCE. YOU CANNOT CREATE A NUISANCE ON SOMEONE'S HOME THAT IS ESTABLISHED.

THE, WHEN THEY'RE, WHEN THEY'RE RELEASING THEIR AIR OUT OF THEIR AIR TANKS ON THESE 18 WHEELERS ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT WHEN, WHEN THEY'RE BACKING UP TO THESE LOADING DOCKS WITH BACKUP BEEPERS ON THEIR VEHICLES, THESE TRUCKS, BY FEDERAL LAW, HAVE TO HAVE BACKUP BEEPERS. THEY BACK UP TO THESE LOADING DOCKS TO UNLOAD AND TO PICK UP THEIR BACKUP.

BEEPERS ARE GOING. SO HOW CAN THAT NOT BE A NUISANCE ON SOMEONE'S HOME THAT LIVES AT GROUND ZERO ON THIS PLACE? I MEAN, IT'S CRAZY TO ME THAT THAT, THE, THAT BURLESON WOULD EVEN CONSIDER THIS GOING NEXT TO SOMEONE'S HOME WHERE THEY LIVED.

I'VE BEEN A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR 30 YEARS.

I COACHED BASEBALL FOR 17 YEARS TO THE YOUTH OF THESE KIDS THAT GREW UP HERE IN BURLESON.

17 YEARS OF BASEBALL, OKAY, MY KIDS WENT TO WENT TO BURLESON HIGH SCHOOLS.

THEY PLAYED VARSITY LEVEL BALL FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

I'M A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY. I WORK FOR THE ELECTRIC COMPANY.

WHEN IF Y'ALL LIVE IN THE CITY OF BURLESON AND YOUR POWER GOES OUT, I'M GETTING IT ON AT 2 A.M.

[00:50:02]

IN THE MORNING. THEN I GO HOME. WHEN YOUR POWER'S BACK ON, I GO HOME AND GO TO SLEEP.

HOW AM I GOING TO SLEEP WHEN THERE'S 18 WHEELERS HITTING THEIR AIR HORNS? LIKE IT'S CRAZY TO ME THAT THERE'S, THAT THAT TONY SELLS IT LIKE IT'S A GOOD THING.

HE SOLD IT LIKE IT WAS A GOOD THING. IT'S NOT A GOOD THING FOR SOMEONE WHO LIVES HERE.

AND YOU HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF. IF TONY LIVED WHERE I LIVED, HE WOULDN'T BE UP HERE ACTING LIKE IT WAS SUCH A GREAT THING.

AND NEITHER WOULD THAT GUY RIGHT THERE, BECAUSE THAT GUY DOESN'T LIVE HERE. AND I'M NOT BE COMING OFF THE WRONG WAY.

BUT MAN, IT'S, HE BROUGHT UP LKQ A WHILE AGO.

I'M THE GUY THAT DEALT WITH IT FOR NINE YEARS AND HAD TO GO TO FEDERAL COURT BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED JUST A MINUTE AGO ABOUT AMENDING STUFF.

Y'ALL WROTE UP A SUP. YEAH, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TALK, BUT Y'ALL WROTE UP AN SUP FOR THE LKQ AND Y'ALL WENT BACK AND Y'ALL AMENDED IT AND TOOK MY PROTECTION OFF OF ME, AND I HAD TO GO GET A FEDERAL JUDGE TO COME OUT TO MY HOUSE TO SHOW THAT THEY CREATED THIS NUISANCE.

I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES HERE. I'D LIKE TO, SINCE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM ON THE SCREEN. I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU SOME PICTURES THAT SHOW MY FENCE LINE AND WHERE THIS BUILDING IS GOING TO BE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT CLOSE, YOU CAN YOU CAN SURELY SEE WHERE MY FENCE LINE AND THESE BUILDINGS BOTH.

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO GIVE IT TO. I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SAID NO, I REALLY DO.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM. I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

IT TAKES A LOT OF NERVE TO COME UP HERE AND TALK, AND IT'S GUT WRENCHING TO TO KNOW THAT THE CITY IT'S Y'ALL'S VOTE DECIDES THE NUISANCE IT'S GOING TO CREATE ON MY PROPERTY. HOW MANY ACRES YOU GOT, SIR? HOW MANY ACRES DO YOU HAVE? I HAVE FIVE. 5.56 ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL LAND THAT I CUT HAY ON.

AND THEY MENTIONED. HE MENTIONED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY.

I HAVE A SLIVER OF LAND THAT I'M A CITIZEN OF THIS CITY.

I PAY CITY TAXES. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER IS NATALIE REED.

ARE YOU OKAY? THIS IS HARD. IT'S JUST ANOTHER FIGHT THAT WE HAVE LANDED OURSELVES HERE TODAY.

WE DON'T HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD OR ANYONE ELSE BACKING US.

IT IS SIMPLY MY HUSBAND AND I AND WHAT WE HAVE BUILT WHEN WE WERE 30 YEARS OLD, PREPARED FOR OUR RETIREMENT, TWO YEARS AWAY FOR HIM. WHAT I ASK OF YOU ALL THAT Y'ALL ARE SITTING HERE LISTENING AND UNDERSTAND THE GROWTH OF A CITY, ALL THIS OR WHATEVER. ACROSS THE WAY IS FINE, Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THAT THERE'S STILL THERE'S STILL ROOM OVER THERE.

I'VE ASKED HIM GO. I MEAN, YOU'RE ON MY BACK FENCE LINE OF MY MY OASIS, MY SANCTUARY.

IF Y'ALL COULD PASS THE PICTURES AROUND. MY POOL IS IN PULLIAM POOLS MAGAZINE.

THE BACK FENCE LINE IS OUR BASEBALL FIELD FOR MY GRANDSON.

ARE YOU OKAY? FAMILY REUNIONS. PLAY VOLLEYBALL ON THAT BACK SECTION.

HOW ARE WE DOING THIS? WITH PROTECTION OF JUST VIOLATION OF SECURITY. I MEAN, YOU'RE JUST STARED UPON TRUCKERS COMING IN AND OUT.

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND I CAN'T SAY IT. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THESE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO SIT OVERNIGHT.

IT MAKES ME NERVOUS. MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR ELECTRIC COMPANY. IS AT HOME ALL THE TIME.

I MEAN, I'M A HOME ALONE. I MEAN, THERE'S JUST SO MANY QUESTIONS I HAVE.

WOULDN'T Y'ALL OKAY, THIS. THEY DECIDE, I'M JUST KIDDING.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN KIND OF PEOPLE WORKING HERE OR WHATEVER. WE'RE GOING TO DO A DATA CENTER OR LOGISTICS.

SAME DIFFERENCE. IT IS JUST I DON'T SEE HOW I CAN HAVE ONE OUNCE OF PEACE.

IT'S LITERALLY I WISH I COULD TAKE A FIELD TRIP BECAUSE Y'ALL CAN SIT BEHIND THESE MICROPHONES AND ACT REAL KEEN TO MAKE A DECISION FOR ME IN MY HOME AND MY FAMILY.

Y'ALL JUST WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK AND A PERCEPTION IF Y'ALL TOOK A LITTLE FIELD TRIP OUT THERE, WHICH I THINK Y'ALL SHOULD ALL DO AND SEE IN PERSPECTIVE, STANDING ON MY BEACH DECK AND THE BEACH ENTRY OF MY POOL, LOOKING INTO AN OFFICE BUILDING AND PEOPLE LOOKING AT ME.

IS NOT, I WAS THERE FIRST. I'M NOT GOING TO BE FORCED OUT OF MY HOME.

YOU CAN'T GO PURCHASE ANYWHERE OF MY HOME. IT'S MY SANCTUARY.

THIS WAS OUR FOREVER AND NOW IT'S JUST TARNISHED.

AND I JUST HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR Y'ALL THAT I'VE ASKED.

I. MEAN, IF I CAN JUST ONE QUICK SECOND. IF I CAN JUST CALM DOWN.

I'M SORRY. BUT THIS REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME.

[00:55:07]

BUT ALEXA SMALL, THIS IS A QUOTE, THIS SMALL ROLE OF REPRESENTING THE VOICES OF FELLOW CITIZENS AND HELPING TO SHAPE AND PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF OUR CITY. MY GOAL IS TO HELP ENSURE THAT BURLESON REMAINS WELCOMING AND THRIVING PLACE FOR ALL RESIDENTS.

I'M A RESIDENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ANYBODY ELSE? MADAM. SIR, NEXT SPEAKER IS BEN ERIC.

HELLO, MAYOR, COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.

I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF. I GREW UP HERE IN BURLESON MY ENTIRE LIFE.

WENT TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH, HIGH SCHOOL.

I STILL LIVE HERE WITH MY FAMILY. I'M A CURRENT BUSINESS OWNER, TOO.

SO JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE PARCEL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I HAVE AN RV LOT THERE. BEING IN THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION HAS ITS DISADVANTAGES IN THAT PARTICULAR SPACE. JUST BECAUSE OF THE CORRIDOR AREA AND WHAT WE CAN PUT THERE AND WHAT ITS USES ARE FOR.

I'M CURRENTLY ACTIVELY TRYING TO SELL THE RV LOT IN THE 20 ACRES JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THAT WHICH ATTACHES TO THE 56 ACRES.

THE HOTEL IS ALSO IN THE MIDST OF SELLING TO.

AND I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE GAS STATION OF VALERO NEXT TO THE UNITED CO-OP, AND THEY ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN SELLING.

SO NOT ONLY IS THESE 56 ACRES GOING TO BE A POTENTIAL LAND USE OR BUILDING USED FOR INDUSTRIAL AND CREATING JOBS AND TAX REVENUE, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE. THERE COULD BE MORE ADDED TO IT TO CREATE MORE POTENTIAL TAX REVENUE AND JOBS FOR THE CITY GROWTH.

I DO, I EMPATHIZE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST UP HERE.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE DEAL GOING ON SINCE 2010.

SO IT HAS IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S BEEN IT'S KIND OF AN OVERNIGHT DEAL.

IT'S BEEN PROPOSED SINCE 2010. AND I FEEL LIKE WITH THE BUSINESS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY SUITABLE FOR THE NEXT 10, 20, 30 YEARS FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON. SO THANK YOU GUYS.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. ANYONE ELSE? I DO HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER CARD.

DAVID, DID YOU WANT TO COME SPEAK. HURRY UP. ALL RIGHT.

SO I'M IN THE 30 ACRES RIGHT NEXT DOOR. IT'S ALSO MY OASIS.

BUT WITH THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

I DO THINK THAT. BUT WHO'S GOING TO BE WORKING THERE? LIKE WHO'S GOING TO ENSURE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY? I HAVE TWO, TWO KIDS THAT ARE TEN AND 11.

I'VE SPENT THE LAST 12 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT PLACE OUT.

GUY IN THE RED SHIRT USED TO BE IN CHARGE OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OR SOMETHING.

YOU ALL TOLD ME I'M IN THE ETJ, I CAN'T DO THIS.

CAN'T DO THAT. THAT'S 12 YEARS IN THE MAKING.

WHEN'S BURLESON GOING TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS? FOR ME? FOR EVERYBODY ELSE? JOIN UP WITH THIS GENTLEMAN THAT WANTS TO DEVELOP THIS LAND.

TAKE CARE OF ALL THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO SPEND $3.5 MILLION ON POTHOLES FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

LIKE SOMEBODY'S GOT TO TAKE CHARGE OF SOMETHING HERE.

AND IF NOT, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE STAY AS WE ARE.

BUT AN EIGHT-FOOT WALL IS NOT GOING TO FIX THIS. 20-FOOT WALL IS NOT GOING TO FIX THIS.

Y'ALL GOT THE TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP RIGHT THERE. SO BURLESON REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS.

SO THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL DURING A PUBLIC HEARING SESSION? I GOT A SPEAKER CARD. THEY MENTIONED THE 18 WHEELERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I KNOW ALL OF Y'ALL HAVE NEIGHBORS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER LIVED NEXT DOOR TO SOMEBODY WITH A DIESEL PICKUP, WHERE THEY'VE GONE OUT THERE AT 330 IN THE MORNING DRINKING THEIR COFFEE. LEAVE THEIR DIESEL RUNNING WHERE THE NOISE REVERBERATES BACK THROUGH YOUR HOUSE.

IT DOES. IT SETTLES THROUGH YOUR BONES, THROUGH YOUR MIND. IT REALLY TICKS YOU OFF. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S LEGAL.

THE BAR THAT'S NEXT TO PREMIER MOVIE THEATER.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE HAD NOISE COMPLAINTS.

THERE WERE A MILE, A MILE AND A HALF AWAY THAT COULD HEAR THE MUSIC REVERBERATING OFF THE WALL, AND THEY TOOK EVERY PRECAUTION THEY COULD TO TRY. THEY EVEN DID AN OVERHEAD SKIRT TRYING TO CUT DOWN THE NOISE.

IS A GOOD BUFFER. THEY EVEN LINED THE WALLS. THE NOISE IS STILL GOING TO REVERBERATE.

THE FACILITY NO MATTER HOW NICE THEY BUILD IT, NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF WALLS THEY PUT UP, THE NOISE IS GOING TO BOUNCE OFF THROUGH THESE PEOPLE'S MINDS AND IT'S GOING TO BOTHER THEM.

[01:00:04]

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE DRIVERS OF THESE TRUCKS THAT WILL PULL IN AT 1:00 OR MIDNIGHT OR 10:00 AT NIGHT, SIT IN HER CAB AND LET THEIR DIESEL IDLE ALL NIGHT LONG.

I'VE GOT FRIENDS WHO ARE TRUCK DRIVERS. SOMETIMES THEY'LL PULL UP TO UNLOAD. THEY MAY GET THERE TEN HOURS EARLY.

SOMETHING'S RUNNING BEHIND. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOISE UPON NOISE, UPON NOISE OF HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES.

HERE'S THE DEAL. AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU.

IT REALLY DOES. BUT YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR ROADS? AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PROPERTY TAX THIS WOULD BRING INTO THE CITY.

WE HAVE TO WEIGH THAT OUT. I UNDERSTAND. I DON'T WANT TO BE COLD HEARTED ABOUT THIS, I REALLY DON'T.

I HATE THIS SITUATION. BUT I GOT 30, 40, 50,000 PEOPLE.

THAT'S BELLYACHING EVERY DAY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE ROADS MADE.

I UNDERSTAND, AND JUST LIKE THE POLICE AND THE FIRE, WE.

THERE'S A LOT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THTA'S EXACTLY RIGHT. RIGHT, RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT. BUT LIKE I SAID, THE LKQ THING, WHEN THEY DID THAT, THERE WAS A GUY THAT LIVES RIGHT BEHIND HIS HORSES, HAD BREATHING ISSUES.

AFTER THAT, HE HAD TO GET RID OF HIS HORSES. IT'S BECAUSE THEY CHOKE.

I CAN SEE THAT. THEY CHOKED ON THE DUST. IT KILLED THEIR CROPS.

AND THEY HAD DUST THROUGHOUT THEIR HOUSE. THEIR CARS WERE FULL OF DUST. BRAND NEW CARS.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT YOU CAN'T DO, BUT. OKAY.

DO SOMETHING FOR THESE PEOPLE. I MEAN, WHETHER YOU DO AN ORDINANCE OR NOISE OR SOMETHING OR MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO LET YOUR VEHICLE IDLE.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP.

I UNDERSTAND, AND I APPRECIATE IT. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE OUT. YOU DIDN'T HELP. THANK YOU.

BILL. ANYBODY ELSE? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? THEN I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:31.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? TONY? TONY, I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.

AND IT MAY ROLL OVER TO THE DEVELOPER BEFORE IT'S OVER WITH.

BUT WITH THE RESTRICTION, I MEAN WITH THE PD, CAN WE PUT RESTRICTIONS IN THERE THAT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDINGS.

FACE THE CITIZENS PROPERTY AND ALL TRUCKS BE ON THE SIDE WITH THE AUTO SALVAGE AND NOT ACCESS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

CERTAINLY THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE DEVELOPER.

BUT YES, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS WITHIN YOUR AUTHORITY WITH THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. COULD WE HAVE, COULD WE TABLE THIS AND HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION? YOU BRING IT BACK? WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? I DON'T THINK WE LEGALLY CAN DENY IT, BUT WE CAN PUT RESTRICTIONS IN ON IT.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TALK TO THE DEVELOPER ABOUT AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO.

TONY, I DO HAVE A, ON THE COLD STORAGE ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS THE FREEWAY THAT HAS HOURS OF DELIVERIES, I BELIEVE IS THE, THE EARLIEST IS 5 A.M. OR I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT SO WHAT THOSE DELIVERY HOURS WERE.

I CAN, I CAN TELL YOU AND IT DEPENDS ON THE ZONING OF THE PROPERTY.

I THINK ALEX IS GOING TO COME UP. YEAH. OKAY. GOOD, GOOD.

THAT WAS MY QUESTION ESSENTIALLY. DO WE HAVE HOURS OF OPERATIONS AND THINGS IN OUR CURRENT BUSINESS PARK? NO, THERE'S NOT CURRENT OPERATIONS, BUT LIKE THE COLD STORAGE ANY LOGISTICS.

I MEAN, THEIR DISTRIBUTION CENTER, THEY DON'T HAVE DELIVERIES BEFORE 5 A.M.

AND THEY TYPICALLY RUN OUT ABOUT 10 P.M. BECAUSE THIRD SHIFT IS EITHER THEY'RE RUNNING THE LINES OR THEY'RE CLEANING CREWS THAT ARE COMING IN.

AND IF IT'S MANUFACTURING, LIKE FOOD MANUFACTURING.

TYPICALLY LIKE GOLDEN STATE FOODS, THEY DON'T HAVE DELIVERIES OR PICKUPS BEFORE SIX.

SO 5 A.M. IS THE EARLIEST THAT LIKE ARCADIA AND VERTICAL COLD START SEEING DELIVERIES COME IN AND PEOPLE DROPPING OFF OR PICKING UP.

THERE COULD BE SOME DROP TRAILERS. WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH COLD STORAGE, LIKE THEY'RE JUST COMING IN, DROPPING A TRAILER AND THEY LEAVE KIND OF THING BEFORE OR AFTER THAT TIME, BUT NO ACTIVE DELIVERIES BECAUSE THEY NEED OFFICE PERSONNEL IN THERE AND THEY TYPICALLY JUST WORK 8 TO 5. RIGHT, OKAY. YEAH.

THANKS, ALEX. COULD THE DEVELOPER COME BACK UP? YOU GOT IT. HI, I'M DEAN FLOWERS, AND TOPPER SHEEHY WORKS WITH ME.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION. SURE. WHEN WE SAY WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE CITIZENS AND DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE, WOULD IT BE A DEAL BREAKER IF WE TURN THE BUILDINGS SO THAT THE TRACTOR TRAILER SIDE IS FACING SOUTH? I'M NOT SURE RIGHT NOW. THAT'D BE AN ENGINEERING QUESTION.

RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE HAVE ARE JUST CONCEPTUAL. THAT'S RIGHT.

[01:05:02]

AND UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEONE THAT THEY'RE I MEAN, AND THEY'RE TALKING, I'M SURE YOU'RE TALKING TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T BE PURSUING THIS IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SOME FEELERS OUT OF POTENTIAL PEOPLE THAT YOU COULD BRING IN.

BUT UNTIL WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT ANY OF THOSE WILL BE, WE DON'T.

BUT WE COULD SAY SOMETHING IN THE PD, LIKE TONY WAS SAYING OF, WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS RIGHTS THE BEST WE CAN, AND IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO THAT. ABSOLUTELY.

AND WE'VE TALKED I'VE BEEN IN BOTH OF THESE GUYS HOMES.

I'VE GONE TO SEE THEM. WE'RE AS WE CREATE THIS DEAL, WE ARE TRYING TO EXPAND.

AND WE'VE MET WITH HIM AND TALKED, LOOKED AT HIS LAND.

WE'VE HAD OUR ENGINEER BACK THERE THAT HAS ALREADY GONE AHEAD AND DONE A PRELIMINARY PLAN TO SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO FIX HIS PONDS.

AND SO WE'RE PLANNING ON TRYING TO APPROACH BOTH OF THEM AS SOON AS WE GET OUR ZONING WHERE WE KNOW WE'RE NOT WASTING OUR TIME.

AND THEN WE'VE TALKED WITH THE REEDS, WE'VE MADE AN OFFER TO THEM TO BUY THEIR STUFF.

IT HADN'T BEEN ACCEPTED BY THEM. THEY'VE RESPONDED TO US.

WE HAVEN'T ACCEPTED THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANYBODY'S TIME IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT ZONED.

WE DO THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND WE WOULD LOVE TO BUILD A PROJECT HERE.

BUT IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT FOR YOUR MEMBERS AND WE'RE TRYING TO, WE WOULD LOVE TO BUY EVERYBODY UP AND MAKE IT ONE NICE BIG HUNDRED ACRE INDUSTRIAL PARK, AND THAT'S WHAT OUR GOAL IS. SO AND WHEN I MET WITH MR. REED, I TOLD THEM, I UNDERSTAND IT TOO. I FEEL HORRIBLE ABOUT THEIR SITUATION, BUT THEY'VE GOT AN LLDC IN FRONT OF THEM AND A GAS WELL ON ONE SIDE AND A METAL BUILDING ON THE OTHER SIDE. WE'VE, TIME, YOU KNOW, TIMES CHANGES ON PEOPLE'S REAL ESTATE.

IT'S DONE IT TO ME AND IT'S DONE IT TO PROBABLY ALL OF Y'ALL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE STAND. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO MESS WITH ANYBODY.

IF THE CITY, IF WE CAN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY, I'LL WALK AWAY FROM THIS REAL QUICK MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN.

ONE OF THE THINGS THE COUNCIL CAN CONSIDER IS YOU CAN APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT WITH A REQUIREMENT THAT A CONCEPT PLAN THAT ADDRESSES ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED USE BE A CONDITION BEFORE ANY BUILDING PERMITS CAN BE.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK. YOU COULD YOU CAN GIVE THEM THE ZONING THAT WOULD GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO MARKET IT AND TO DO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.

BUT BEFORE THEY CAN BUILD, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME FORWARD WITH A CONCEPT PLAN ON THE SITE THAT ADDRESSES THE NOISE ISSUES, THE LIGHT ISSUES, THE PARKING ISSUES, THE ACCESS ISSUES, THE WASTE DISPOSAL ISSUES ON THE SITE IN A MANNER THAT THE CITY DEEMS IS MOST REASONABLE THERE. THEREFORE, YOU'VE PROTECTED THE PROPERTY VALUE INTERESTS OF THE LANDOWNERS ON THE 56 ACRES, AND YOU'VE DONE THE BEST YOU CAN TO ADDRESS THE ADJOINING LANDOWNERS CONCERNED ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.

THAT WAS GOING TO EXACTLY BE MY PLAN TO REQUEST A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

MORE THAN LIKELY, ANY COMPANY THAT WE LAND OR THEY BRING FORWARD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE A PART OF IT AND PROBABLY AN INCENTIVE PACKAGE.

AND THAT WILL BE PART OF THE 380 OR PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, TALKING ABOUT LAYOUT AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ALAN MENTIONED.

SO THOSE WOULD BE LOOKED AT WITH ANY DEAL THAT COMES THROUGH.

AND ONE OTHER THING, GUYS, THIS IS A BIG MONEY INVESTMENT.

IT'S NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'M BUILDING SOME METAL WAREHOUSES OUT HERE ON THE CORNER.

THESE ARE $150 A SQUARE FOOT PLUS BUILDINGS TO BUILD.

AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT, 500,000FT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THERE FOR 50 SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

MAN, YOU'RE TALKING 60, $70 MILLION. I CAN'T GO OUT AND BUILD A BUILDING THAT HURTS PEOPLE AND BE SUCCESSFUL.

AND WE DON'T WE WON'T DO THAT. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE STAND.

AND WE AGREE LET'S WE CAN PUT IT INTO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S THE RIGHT THING FOR THE REEDS, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING WORKED OUT AND HAVE THEM ALL BOUGHT AND THEN THEY AND GET THEM A BETTER LIFESTYLE THAN WHAT THEY'VE GOT.

THANK YOU, MR. FLOWERS. APPRECIATE IT. TONY, TONY, IS THIS JUST TO APPROVE THE ZONING TONIGHT? OKAY. TONY, I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO THE PROPOSED USES.

WE CAN HAMMER THAT OUT. AND REALLY, IT'S JUST THE HEARTBURN ON THE DATA PROCESSING, BECAUSE ALL YOU NEED SOME HOTSHOT LAWYER FROM NEW YORK TO COME IN HERE AND TELL ME THAT. WELL, THAT'S ACTUALLY MEANS A DATA CENTER.

BUT JUST TO ADDRESS MAYOR PRO TEM QUESTION TOO, ABOUT PUTTING IT IN THE SUP, WE HAVE THAT HEAVY ZONING DISTRICT THAT'S FOR DATA CENTERS SPECIFICALLY. SO I MEAN, I DON'T WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TAKE OUT AND PUT AS A PROHIBITED USE DATA CENTER, DATA PROCESSING, HOSTING AND RELATED SERVICES AND LEAVE THAT THERE, AND THEN LEAVE LOGISTICS FACILITIES AS A BY RIGHT PROPOSED USE.

BECAUSE YOU COULD ARGUE EVERYTHING ACROSS THE FREEWAY IS A LOGISTICS FACILITY, SO NOT TO HAND TIE THAT.

CAN THAT MODIFY THE MOTION TO DO THAT. YES, SIR.

[01:10:04]

YOU WANT TO DO IT? IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH THAT? ARE WE READY FOR MOTION? OKAY. HANG ON. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A.

HANG ON. CAN I OPEN UP. THANK YOU. IN THREE MINUTES AT THIS POINT.

YES. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A SMALL BREAK. I THINK I CAN HOLD IT.

I WANT TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE AUDIENCE.

SO I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING BACK UP AT 7:40.

DO YOU WANT. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO TALK ON THIS AGAIN? COME ON UP. SO I'LL JUST PRESS THAT BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM.

SORRY. THERE YOU GO. I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MOVING THESE BUILDINGS AROUND TO WHERE THEY FACE THE, TO THE SOUTH. WELL, THE PICTURES I SENT, EVIDENTLY I DIDN'T LOOK, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE THAT MY HOUSE IS.

LIKE IT'S DIRECTLY BEHIND THAT. LIKE I'M TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROPERTY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF BRING THAT TO THE POINT THAT I DON'T NEED A WHOLE BACKYARD OF LOADING DOCKS.

I MEAN, THAT'S MY HOUSE RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN SEE MY SWIMMING POOL AND YOU CAN SEE THE LOADING DOCKS.

AND IF THEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING. AND SO I WAS JUST GOING TO BRING THAT TO THE ATTENTION OF.

AND I GUESS ONE MORE THING THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP IS.

YOU KNOW, LKQ WAS BROUGHT UP A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THIS SCENARIO AND, AND I ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS BACK IN 2013.

I'VE BEEN UP HERE MULTIPLE TIMES AND I ADDRESSED ALL THAT.

AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS SUP AND HOW THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE THIS DOCUMENTATION AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CONTRACT OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT OF HOW THIS STUFF'S GOING TO BE BUILT. I BELIEVED BACK THEN IN 2013 THAT THE CITY WAS LITERALLY PROTECTING ME AND I BELIEVED IT.

AND THEN THE CITY WENT AND HAD ANOTHER MEETING BEHIND THAT I WASN'T INVITED TO.

AND THEY AMENDED, THAT SUP, AND LITERALLY TOOK OUT A PARAGRAPH THIS BIG OUT OF THE SUP THAT PROTECTED ME.

AND SO THEN IT ALLOWED A LKQ TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED.

AND THEN WHEN I WOULD CALL THE CITY TO COME OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THE NUISANCE THEY WERE CREATING, THEY WOULD SAY, WELL, THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE. AND I'D SAY HOW IT'S WRITTEN RIGHT HERE IN Y'ALL'S SUP. AND THEY'D SAY, NO, IT GOT REMOVED.

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THEM.

WE NEED THIS PROJECT. WE REALLY DO. AND WE WANT TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY WE CAN.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GET A DESIGN AND YOU NEED TO COME TO THE MEETING.

YOU NEED YOUR INPUT. OKAY. YES, I WOULD LOVE TO.

THEY HAD A JUSTIFICATION A LONG TIME AGO IN THAT OTHER PROJECT, AND IT WAS THERE WASN'T ANYTHING NEFARIOUS ABOUT THIS COUNCIL IT JUST SCREWED UP AND I'M SORRY. SO LET'S WE NEED THIS PROJECT, BUT WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

I AM A CITIZEN AND I HOPE YOU WOULD. I HOPE THAT Y'ALL WILL TAKE CARE OF ME AND MY FAMILY.

YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE SOME INPUT ON THIS, OKAY? I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? HERE HE COMES. I JUST WONDERED ABOUT TIME FRAME ON ALL THIS.

WHEN IS THE CITY GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT? IF WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO APPROVE A ZONING CHANGE, WHEN'S EVERYBODY WHO LIVES RIGHT THERE GOING TO GET TAKEN CARE OF? WELL, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN REALLY WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS.

WHAT, ONE'S GOING TO HELP EVERYBODY, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE, IF THE ZONING IS APPROVED TONIGHT, IS A ZONING APPROVAL THAT SAYS THAT TYPE OF LAND USE IS APPROVABLE ON THE SITE. THEY WILL HAVE NO ABILITY TO GO FORWARD UNTIL THEY COME BACK WITH A CONCEPT PLAN, IDENTIFYING SPECIFIC BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS AND SHOWING WHAT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, BARRIERS, LANDSCAPING THEY'RE GOING TO PUT ON SITE THAT WILL BE SUBJECT TO PUBLIC HEARING WHEN THE PUBLIC WILL BE INVOLVED IN IT.

IT COULD HAPPEN IN TWO MONTHS, IT COULD HAPPEN IN FIVE YEARS.

BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY COME THROUGH THAT STEP.

AND WE'LL BE NOTIFIED, JUST LIKE WE WERE ON THIS, CORRECT? JUST LIKE THIS. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? I HAVE A QUESTION.

I PROMISE I'M CALM. ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE GOING TO.

LEAST YOU'RE SMILING NOW. I'M REALLY SORRY. DON'T MAKE ME CRY AGAIN.

OKAY. BUT THAT WAS ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS.

WE, I FORGOT TO ASK MISS MR. FLOWERS OF THE TIME FRAME OF LIKE THE START TO FINISH, LIKE WHEN HE'S THE GROUNDBREAKING OF WHAT IT WOULD BE BECAUSE I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE HOW IT WOULD BE FEASIBLE FOR US TO EVEN LIVE THERE.

TRASH. DEBRIS. BREAKING GROUND. THERE'S NO AMOUNT OF SHRUBS OR WALLS THAT'S GOING TO BUFFER THAT.

AND EVEN IF AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION, THE, AFTER THE MONSTROSITY IS BUILT, STILL THERE'S NOT A RETAINING WALL OR A BUFFER OF A TREE THAT IS

[01:15:06]

GOING TO PROTECT US. SO LET'S SEE, LET'S SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO.

AS LONG AS YOU SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE INVOLVED.

I MIGHT, YOU KNOW, FEEL A LITTLE BITTER ABOUT THAT.

I JUST DIDN'T YEAH. LET'S SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO.

WE'RE HOLDING ON TO A PRETTY HIGH STANDARD HERE. SO OKAY.

COME BACK TO THE MEETING WHEN THEY WANT TO SHOW US SOMETHING. OKAY.

I APPRECIATE YOUR THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANYBODY ELSE? I WANT TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:45. MAYOR I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALAN FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE.

HAVE YOU PASSED THE ZONING AND THE SITE PLAN COMES? IT CHECKS ALL THE BOXES. IT'S GOOD TO GO, BUT THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

NOW, IF WE DO THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN. IT COMES BEFORE COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING.

IT COULD GET DENIED FOR WHATEVER REASON, OR AS LONG AS WE WOULD NOT DENY IT FOR THE PROPOSED USES, WE WOULD DENY IT FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGN ON THE SITE.

WHAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE SPECIFIC SITE PROPOSAL ARE.

IF THEY'RE UNACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY, THEN THE COUNCIL CAN SAY NO TO THIS DESIGN.

RIGHT. GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN. AND HOPEFULLY WE WOULD POINT OUT TO THE DEVELOPER WHAT WE SPECIFICALLY DON'T LIKE, WHY WE DON'T LIKE IT, AND THEY COULD THEN ADDRESS IT.

OKAY. I'M READY. ANYTHING ELSE TONY? NO, SIR.

OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION? YEAH. RIGHT, MAYOR I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.

NUMBER ONE, A CONCEPT PLAN MUST BE SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL PRIOR TO ANY BUILDING PERMITS BEING ISSUED.

NUMBER TWO, ON THE ALLOWABLE BY RIGHT USES A LOGISTICS FACILITY AND NUMBER THREE ON THE PROHIBITED USES DATA CENTER, DATA PROCESSING, HOSTING AND RELATED SERVICES.

EXCELLENT. IS THERE A SECOND? I GOT A MOTION BY ADAM, SECOND BY LARRY.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO 7.B. 9028 COUNTY ROAD 1019 AND 2100 LAKEWOOD DRIVE,

[7.B. 9028 CR 1019 and 2100 Lakewood Drive (ZC26-005): Hold a public hearing and consider and take possible action on a zoning ordinance change request on approximately 32.297 acres of land from A, Agricultural and PD, Planned Development to MF2, Multiple-family dwelling district, generally located at 9028 CR 1019. (First and Final Reading) (Staff Contact: Tony McIlwain, Development Services Director) (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 8-0)]

ZC26-005. THIS IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE REQUEST ON APPROXIMATELY 32.297 ACRES OF LAND FROM A, AGRICULTURAL TO PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO MF2, MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 9028 COUNTY ROAD 1019.

FIRST AND FINAL READING BEFORE COUNCIL. THE STAFF PRESENTER IS TONY MCLLWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS. MAYOR COUNCIL. THIS IS YOUR SECOND ZONING CASE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

IT DOES INVOLVE TAKING PROPERTY FROM A CURRENT AGRICULTURAL AND PLANT DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICTS TO MF2, WHICH IS OUR CITY'S MULTIFAMILY ZONING DISTRICT.

THE PROPERTY IS HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

IT DOES INCLUDE PROPERTY OWNED BY BURLESON DEVELOPMENT, INC., AS WELL AS OUR EDC, MPC18, LLC, THE INVOLVED PROPERTY HOLDERS. JUST BY WAY OF THE ZONING, WE'VE GOT AGRICULTURAL ZONING AND THEN THE PD ZONING IS THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK ZONING.

THIS IS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SECTION OF THE CITY, SO IT ALLOWS A MULTIPLE VARIETY OF HOUSING CHOICES.

THERE'S THE APPROVED 380 AGREEMENT ALLOWS THE BURLESON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO DEVELOP AND MARKET A NATIONAL REGIONAL OFFICE PARK.

HOOPER BUSINESS PARK WILL TARGET NATIONAL AND REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS FOR INDUSTRIES SUCH AS OFFICE, PROFESSIONAL HEALTH CARE, MEDICAL, IT AND OTHER RELATED BUSINESS SECTORS.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MF2 MULTIFAMILY ADJACENT TO THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPTIONS TO ACHIEVE THE ECONOMIC GOALS OF THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK.

WE NOTIFIED A TOTAL OF FIVE DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER AND POSTED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY.

WE RECEIVED NO FEEDBACK. P&Z IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE MF2 ZONING BY A VOTE OF 8 TO 0.

THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE MULTIFAMILY NEED STUDY FOR THE CITY, BUT STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE REQUESTED ZONING DISTRICT OF MF2 IS APPROPRIATE AT THIS LOCATION AND WOULD ALIGN WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

JUST BY WAY OF WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ALLOWABLE USES OF PERMITTED USES UNDER THE 2020 MIDPOINT UPDATE, YOU'VE GOT SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING OF VARIOUS SIZES ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY, WHICH WOULD INCORPORATE THE MULTIFAMILY AND ALSO SOME NONRESIDENTIAL USES AS WELL.

[01:20:06]

I'D LIKE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYBODY? I SEE NO ONE. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:50.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? I SEE NOBODY, SO I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:50. IS THERE A MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION BY VICTORIA. SECOND BY LARRY.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND

[7.C. Spillers-Houston Companies, TnT Builders and Raining Red at 201 W Bufford St., STE 103 & 105 (VAR26-012): Consider and take possible action on a resolution for a variance to Chapter 63, Sign Regulations, relating to number of sign cabinet signs per elevation, allowing for the addition of one (1) cabinet sign for a total of two (2) cabinet signs on the east building elevation. (Staff Contact: Tony McIlwain, Development Services Director) (No Planning and Zoning Commission action was required for this item.)]

COUNCIL, THAT BRINGS US TO 7.C. SPILLERS-HOUSTON COMPANY, TNT BUILDERS AND RAINING RED AT 201 WEST BUFORD STREET, SUITE 103 AND 105. THIS IS VAR26-012.

THIS IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION FOR A VARIANCE TO CHAPTER 63.

SIGN REGULATIONS RELATED TO NUMBER OF SIGN CABINETS SIGNED PER ELEVATION, ALLOWING FOR ADDITION OF ONE CABINET SIGN FOR A TOTAL OF TWO CABINET SIGNS IN THE EAST BUILDING ELEVATION.

THE STAFF PRESENTER IS TONY MCLLWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

THANK YOU, MADAM. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MR. DAVID SHIPMAN AND HUNTER GRAPHICS ARE PETITIONING FOR YOUR APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR ONE ADDITIONAL SIGN CABINET.

JUST BY WAY OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH THEM, SUITES 103 AND 105 HAVE BEEN COMBINED IN THE BUILDING THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.

WHEN THAT COMBINATION HAPPENS, IT LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF SIGNS YOU CAN HAVE.

WE LIMIT ONE SIGN PER ELEVATION PER C OF O, BUT THEY'RE LOOKING AT UTILIZING THIS AS A GROUP SPACE.

SO IT'S A VERY SIMPLE VARIANCE REQUEST. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ONE ADDITIONAL CABINET SIGN TO PLACE DEMARCATING THE LOCATION OF THE BUSINESS. THAT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED BY CODE, WHICH IS A CHANNEL LETTER SIGN, ANOTHER CABINET SIGN.

THE SECTION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO VARY FROM IS SECTION 63-38(C).

STAFF HAS NO OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ANYBODY? IS THERE A MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION BY DAN. A SECOND BY LARRY. PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[7.D. Hold a public hearing and consider and take possible action on an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan 2020 Midpoint Update. (First Reading) (Staff Contact: Tony D. McIlwain, Development Services Director) (Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval by a vote of 8 to 0)]

THAT BRINGS US TO 7.D. THIS IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2020 MID-POINT UPDATE. THIS IS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON FIRST READING.

THE STAFF PRESENTER IS TONY MCLLWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

MR. MCLLWAIN, YOU'RE ON AGAIN. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS VERY FAMILIAR ITEM FOR YOU.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2020 MID-POINT UPDATE.

STAFF HAS PRESENTED THESE AMENDMENTS OVER MULTIPLE PUBLIC MEETINGS.

THIS IS A LIST OF THE PRESENTATION HISTORY THAT WE'VE CONDUCTED WITH EITHER THE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, OR A COMBINATION THEREOF.

BUT WE STARTED OUR EFFORTS BACK IN FEBRUARY AND CONTINUED THEM MOST RECENTLY THROUGH JULY 28TH WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

SOME OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS REGIONAL OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY TO EXPLICITLY ALLOW APARTMENT COMPLEXES WITH ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONNECTIVITY EXISTS.

THE CHISHOLM TRAIL CORRIDOR FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY TO INCLUDE MEDIUM TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE AS PART OF A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT SCHEME.

AND THE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WE'RE LOOKING AT RE DESIGNATING THAT AS A COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE AREA, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO CAPITALIZE THE NODES ALONG ALSBURY AND SOUTHWEST HOUSTON FOR THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL USES.

EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER, WHICH WE'VE JUST DISCUSSED IN A PREVIOUS ZONING CASE, TO INCLUDE INCLUSION OF HEAVY AND HIGH ENERGY INDUSTRIAL USES.

AND THEN AN ADDENDUM TO OUR CURRENT CATALOG, WHICH WILL ALLOW THE STAFF TO UPDATE TEXT AND MAP CHANGES AS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, AND ALSO PLAN GOALS AND ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED OR NEED TO BE REVISED.

WE HAVE A NOTATION FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOULD NOT CONSTITUTE ZONING REGULATIONS OR ESTABLISHED ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

THAT'S ALREADY ON OUR PLAN, BUT THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF STATE LAW.

THESE MAPS, THE MAPS RATHER, AND THE TEXT SHOWS YOU WHAT STAFF IS PROPOSING TO TAKE OUT AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE IT WITH.

[01:25:10]

AND THEN THE CORRESPONDING ZONING DISTRICTS DOWN IN THE BOTTOM DIALOG BOX.

AND AGAIN, CHISHOLM TRAIL CORRIDOR. INCLUSION OF NEW TEXT TO SPEAK TO A VARIETY OF DENSITY CHOICES FOR HOUSING.

THIS IS THE TOD AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO WITH THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, AND THEN YOU TRANSITION TO A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD TYPICALLY INCLUDE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING REQUESTS. AND THIS WOULD ACCOMPANY THE TEXT FOR THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY OR THE REDESIGNATION THEREOF, EXCUSE ME. YOUR EMPLOYMENT GROWTH CENTER, WHICH WE'VE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH TONIGHT, WOULD BE THE AREA WE'RE PROPOSING TO PUT IN THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES, AND ANY DATA CENTERS PER CITY COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF AN SUP.

AND THEN THE ADDENDUM THAT I SPOKE TO. SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE THAT WAS PRESENTED DURING YOUR LAST MEETING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WE'RE GOING TO BORROW HEAVILY FROM FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, TO USE THAT AS A TEMPLATE FOR GOING FORWARD WITH SOME OF THE UPDATES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE IN THE PLAN. SO THERE ARE ZONING CODES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MIDPOINT UPDATE.

STAFF ANTICIPATES TAKING THOSE ZONING CHANGES FORWARD TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON AUGUST 25TH.

AND THEN SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, BRING IT TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON SEPTEMBER 21ST.

THAT'S TO ALIGN THE MIDPOINT PLAN IN OUR CITY ZONING DISTRICTS.

PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION IS IN FULL SUPPORT OF THESE AMENDMENTS, AS IS STAFF.

AND CERTAINLY ANY ENTERTAINING QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

QUESTIONS? AND I'M OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING UP AT 7:56.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:57.

IS THERE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I HAVE A MOTION BY LARRY, AND A SECOND BY PHIL.

[7.E. Chisholm Summit Community Park located approximately at 9325 County Road 1016/ Lakewood Drive (CSP26-011): Consider and take possible action on a resolution for a Commercial Site Plan with a variance to the number of park amenities required by the Planned Development Ordinance (CSO#5464-0524).

COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO 7.E. CHISHOLM SUMMIT COMMUNITY PARK, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY AT 9325 COUNTY ROAD, 1016 LAKEWOOD DRIVE, CSP26-011. CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION FOR COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN WITH THE VARIANCE TO THE NUMBER OF PARK AMENITIES REQUIRED BY THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.

CSO5464-05-2024. THIS IS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON FIRST AND FINAL READING.

THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN INVOLVING CHISHOLM SUMMIT COMMUNITY.

IS PART OF, CHISHOLM SUMMIT, AS YOU KNOW, IS ZONED AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC CRITERIA AND REGULATIONS IN THAT PLAN DEVELOPMENT AS IT AFFECTS PARKS. WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE IN THE PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR THE PARK, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF AMENITIES THAT WERE BEING PROPOSED. AS WE GET CLOSER TO CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE AMENITIES.

THERE'S A LARGE LAKE FEATURE THAT WAS MAYBE MORE THAN WE ANTICIPATED, AND IT EATS UP A LOT OF THE USABLE AREA THERE IS AVAILABLE TO PLACE THINGS SUCH AS PICNIC TABLES AND BENCHES AND THINGS OF THE LIKE.

IN OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH MR. BOND, WE ENCOURAGED HIM TO SUBMIT A SITE PLAN THAT WOULD GIVE THE COUNCIL THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AND TO GET YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THOSE ITEMS BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.

THIS IS THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED WITH THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT PARK FEATURES.

A NUMBER OF AMENITIES BEING SHOWN TO INCLUDE THE POND, WHICH IS MUCH LARGER IN SCOPE THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED SPLASH PADS, RETENTION AREAS, PERGOLAS AND THINGS OF THE LIKE.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PARK THAT SHOWS THE BARN PAVILION, A THEMED PLAYGROUND AND NEIGHBORHOOD POND. SO THIS IS WHAT THE STAFF RECEIVED IN THE HOUSE.

THE PROPOSED PARK PLAN. AND YOU'LL SEE THE LAKE OFF TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN.

EXCUSE ME. AND YOUR CLUSTERING OF THE AMENITIES TOWARD THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN.

[01:30:06]

THE PAVILION AND RESTROOMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS THE SCHEMATICS FOR THOSE. THESE ARE IN-HOUSE PLANS THAT WE ARE REVIEWING.

JUST MORE ELEVATIONS OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING.

AND THESE NEXT FEW PICTURES ILLUSTRATE THE CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND AREA AND THEIR OPTIONS THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED WITH THE DEVELOPER OF CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

SPLASH PAD. SO THIS IS THE CONFORMANCE SITE TABLE.

I'M SORRY. THE SITE CONFORMANCE TABLE, EXCUSE ME.

WHAT WAS REQUIRED PER THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS TO THE LEFT.

WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS FAR AS WHAT THE DEVELOPER SUBMITTED TO CITY STAFF IS TO THE RIGHT.

YOU'LL SEE THAT IN MOST CASES, THERE'S A DRAW DOWN IN THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS BEING PROPOSED.

PART OF THAT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE LAKE, BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S RESULTING IS NOT CLUTTERED.

MR. BOND KNOWS HE COULD CONTINUE AND PUT IN THE NUMBER OF AMENITIES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.

WE DON'T THINK THAT'S PRACTICAL BECAUSE IT REDUCES THE UTILITY OF THE PARK IF YOU GO IN AND YOU TRY TO PUT IN ALL THOSE TRASH RECEPTACLES, PARK BENCHES. HE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH OUR PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF TO SELL IT ON WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A GOOD NUMBER BASED ON WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED. AND SO WE HAVE THAT HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREEN TO THE RIGHT.

AND I'LL LET YOU JUST FOCUS ON THAT FOR A LITTLE BIT IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING THE ELEMENTS OF THE OF THE PARK.

MOVING ALONG. WE TOOK THIS ITEM TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL SHORT CYCLE, IS TO GET THIS TO YOU AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. AT THE TIME, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE P&Z RECOMMENDATION, BUT FOLLOWING DISCUSSION STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN WITH THE VARIANCE, THE NUMBER OF PARK AMENITIES, AND FOLLOWING THAT DISCUSSION, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WERE IN SUPPORT, UNANIMOUS SUPPORT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, OF THE REDUCTION, BASED ON THE PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO STAFF AND DISCUSSED WITH THEM.

SO YOUR ITEMS TONIGHT, YOUR OPTIONS TONIGHT CITY COUNCIL ARE TO APPROVE THE DENY THE COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN WITH ASSOCIATED WAIVERS.

MR. BOND IS IN ATTENDANCE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF HIM.

ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE A MOTION? JUST REAL QUICK BEFORE.

SORRY, MR. BOND. YOU CAN NOD YOUR HEAD. BUT YOU KNOW, THE BIG DEAL WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS ACCESSIBILITY ON THE PLAYGROUNDS, SO I'M ASSUMING THAT'LL BE INCORPORATED IN THERE.

OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE. I GOT A MOTION BY ADAM, SECOND BY ALEXA.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 8, GENERAL.

[8.A. Consider and take possible action on a resolution approving the Chisholm Summit Community Park and Trail Plan (Phase One) in accordance with Article 9, Section 9.2 of the Chapter 380 and economic development and performance agreement with the Burleson 4A Economic Development Corporation, RA Development Ltd., Burleson Development Inc., B&G South Metro LP, Rocky and Angela Bransom, Alta Burl LP, Janice Yvonne Jackson, and the Jackson family Trust for Chisholm Summit (CSO#1775-06-2021). (Staff contact: Tony D. McIlwain, Development Services Director) ]

8.A. IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT COMMUNITY PARK AND TRAIL PLAN PHASE I IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE NINE, SECTION 9.2 OF CHAPTER 380 IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE BURLESON FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, RA DEVELOPMENT LIMITED. BURLESON DEVELOPMENT, INC.

B&G SOUTH METRO LP, ROCKY AND ANGELA BRANSON, ALTA BURL LP.

JANICE YVONNE JACKSON, AND THE JACKSON FAMILY TRUST FOR CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

CSO1775-06-2021. THE STAFF PRESENTER IS TONY MCLLWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

LAST ITEM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AT LEAST FOR ME, SO.

THIS IS THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT COMMUNITY PARK AND TRAIL PLAN CONSIDERATION AS PART OF THE 380 AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BETWEEN THE OWNERS AND THE CITY.

SECTION 9.2 OF THE PARK AND TRAIL PLAN REQUIRES A DETAILED FINAL PARKS AND TRAILS PLAN SUBJECT TO YOUR APPROVAL.

THE ITEM TONIGHT INVOLVES ONLY THE COMMUNITY PARK AND TRAILS PLAN FOR PHASE I OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE 380 AGREEMENT REQUIRES A MINIMUM TEN-ACRE COMMUNITY PARK AND A COMMUNITY BUILDING.

THE COMMUNITY PARK IS REQUIRED TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE FIRST PHASE OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER.

SUBMITTED TO STAFF IS A 15-ACRE COMMUNITY PARK AND STAFF HAS ALSO RECEIVED THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR THE COMMUNITY BUILDING,

[01:35:04]

WHICH WERE SHOWN IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM. THE COMMUNITY BUILDING IS A PRIVATE FEATURE.

THE COMMUNITY PARK PLAN SATISFIES THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OPTIONAL PARK AMENITIES AS IDENTIFIED IN THE 380 AGREEMENT.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS THE PLAN SET THAT WE JUST SAW THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE DEVELOPER OF CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

WHAT I DID ALONG WITH MR. SANCHEZ, IS GO IN AND COUNT EVERY INDIVIDUAL AMENITY, COMPARE IT TO THE 380 AND COMPARE IT TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

THE DEVELOPER HAS SUBMITTED AN OVERALL TRAIL PLAN DEPICTING 8 TO 10FT WIDE TRAILS AND 4-TO-8-FOOT-WIDE SIDEWALKS WITHIN PHASE I.

AND ALSO SHALL CONSTRUCT 2924 LINEAR FEET OF TEN-FOOT-WIDE CONCRETE TRAILS.

HOME BUILDERS WILL CONSTRUCT 8-TO10-FOOT-WIDE SIDEWALK TRAILS ALONG FRANKEL AND PORTER COURTS.

THE DEVELOPER SHALL COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKLAND IMPROVEMENTS BY FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE ROADWAY AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS OF EACH PHASE.

THIS IS THE TRAIL PLAN THAT'S ON THE SCREEN, AND I'LL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION DOWN TOWARD THE BOTTOM.

YOU SEE THE LINEAR TRAIL RUNNING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, THAT IS PART OF PHASE II.

AND THEN YOU SEE THE ADDITIONAL TRAILS. IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR DIFFERENTIATION, BUT THAT RUNS THROUGH PHASE ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE MIDDLE PART AND NORTH OF THIS OF THE SCREEN.

STAFF IN SUPPORT AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CHISHOLM TRAIL COMMUNITY PARK AND TRAIL PLAN.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST FOR PHASE ONE. MR. BOND WILL BRING IN ADDITIONAL PARK PLANS FOR YOUR APPROVAL WITH SUBSEQUENT PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT COMMUNITY PARK TRAIL PLAN.

HAD A MOTION BY ALEXA, SECOND BY VICTORIA. PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT WILL BRING US TO OUR NEXT ITEMS WHICH WILL BE CALLED TOGETHER WITH ONE PRESENTATION.

[8.B - 8.D.]

ALTHOUGH WE'LL NEED THREE SEPARATE MOTIONS, THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR 8.B, 8.C AND 8.D.

8.B IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION APPROVING A RESOLUTION.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BURLESON 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF THE CORPORATION'S SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS.

8.C IS CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CITY OF BURLESON, TEXAS COMBINATION TAX AND LIMITED SURPLUS REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION SERIES 2026.

AND 8.D CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CITY OR BURLESON TEXAS GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING AND IMPROVING BONDS SERIES 2026. ALL THREE WILL BE PRESENTED BY HARLAN JEFFERSON, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

HARLAN, YOU READY? I'M READY. THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. BEFORE I PROCEED, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE GROUP HERE THAT'S HERE TO HELP ME WITH QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE MARTY HAUGHT WITH HILLTOP. THEY'RE OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

WE ALSO HAVE COOPER ANDERSON WITH MCCALL, DARRYL BOND, COUNCIL, AND WE HAVE KEVIN HENNESSEY, OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, PRESENT. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU FIRE AWAY WITH QUESTIONS.

I HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT HERE TO ASSIST. THIS IS TO DISCUSS THE DEBT PARAMETER ORDINANCES AS WELL AS A RESOLUTION THAT ONE OF THE AGENDA ITEMS. IN TERMS OF SUMMARY, WE'RE ASKING TO DO A PARAMETER ORDINANCE REGARDING $34.4 MILLION IN CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS. IT COVERS $5 MILLION FOR GENERAL GOVERNMENT PURPOSES, 23.3 FOR WATER AND SEWER PURPOSES.

$5 MILLION FOR THE 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND THE 4B $990,000, AND NOTHING FOR THE TIF.

THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IS $17.2 MILLION AND THE 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAS A REVENUE BOND FOR $6 MILLION. AND WE'RE ASKING TO DO A REFUNDING OF WATER AND SEWER BONDS OF $1.6 MILLION.

THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS WERE THE BONDS THAT WERE APPROVED ON MAY IN MAY OF 2022.

WE'RE ASKING THAT ALL THE BONDS BE ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST $5,000.

AND THEN TURNS WITH THE WATER AND SEWER BONDS WE DISCUSSED THOSE LAST FALL WITH THE COUNCIL, BUT WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AND THE FULL COUNCIL IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR AS WELL.

[01:40:01]

THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE DEBT SCHEDULE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS TO SUPPORT THE FIVE YEAR CIP.

THE YEAR IN PARTICULAR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS 2026, AND YOU SEE A TOTAL GENERAL OBLIGATION COMMITMENT OF $22.2 MILLION AS 17.2 OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, AND THEN THE $5 MILLION OF COS.

THE WATER AND SEWER TOTAL IS 23.3 MILLION. THAT'S LISTED HERE.

AND YOU SEE THE BREAKOUT BETWEEN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND AND THEN SPECIAL REVENUE BONDS, OR COS REALLY TO $12 MILLION OF 5 MILLION FOR THE 6 MILLION I MENTIONED FOR REVENUE BONDS AND THE 990,000, FOR A TOTAL OF $57.6 MILLION.

AND THEN THE BREAKOUT AGAIN BY THE THREE CATEGORIES BELOW.

THIS IS THE CIP FOR THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE ISSUING THE BONDS FOR.

AND I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT I KNOW THE COUNCIL HAS AN INTEREST IN EXPEDITING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

ONE OF THE TOOLS YOU USE TO DO THAT IS REIMBURSEMENT.

RESOLUTION SO YOU APPROVE THOSE EARLY ON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

THIS YEAR, WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE YOU CONSIDER ONE ALONG WITH THE BUDGET ORDINANCES AND SO FORTH.

BUT BY DOING SO, WE WERE ABLE TO REALLY EITHER START CONSTRUCTION, COMPLETE ACQUISITION OF EQUIPMENT ON THIS LIST, OR AT LEAST START THE DESIGN ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE ELK HILLSIDE PHASE II PROJECT, THE FM 1902 PROJECT, THE HULEN STREET AND THE RAILROAD GRADE SEPARATION, AND THE CITY HALL EV.

ALTHOUGH THE PROJECTS ARE AT SOME STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION.

IN TERMS OF THE DEBT SERVICE FUND TO SUPPORT THE DEBT ISSUANCE ON THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT SIDE.

THIS SHOWS THEIR FUND BALANCE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THROUGH THE FIVE-YEAR FORECAST.

THE COUNCIL APPROVED A DEBT POLICY THAT HAD THE THRESHOLD OF $1 MILLION AS THE GOAL FOR THE BALANCE.

SO YOU CAN SEE WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY DOWN FROM THE 4.9 MILLION END OF THIS YEAR.

WE SHOULD BE AT 2.8 MILLION IN END OF NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

BE A LITTLE BIT OVER $1 MILLION. SO WE'LL COME UP WITH A STRATEGY TO MOVE US BACK TOWARD THE MILLION DOLLAR NUMBER.

THIS IS THE CIP FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

ALL OF THESE PROJECTS, EXCEPT THE 8-INCH VILLAGE CREEK AND 8-INCH COUNTY ROAD, 715 WATER LINE LOOPING PROJECT OR SOME PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION. I REMIND THE COUNCIL ALSO, WHEN WE DO REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND, WE SKIP A YEAR BEFORE WE ISSUE THE DEBT FOR THOSE.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE RATE BALANCING MINIMIZING STRATEGIES YOU IMPLEMENTED.

SO THESE PROJECTS ARE WELL ON THE WAY. THIS SHOWS THE FUND BALANCE OF THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

WE STARTED AT A PEAK OF $15.3 MILLION LAST YEAR.

WE SHOULD BE AT 14.4 MILLION THIS YEAR, AND IT WILL MODERATE DOWN SLIGHTLY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

THIS IS THE DEBT SERVICE OF CIP SCHEDULE, RATHER FOR THE FOR A CORPORATION.

AND BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR SOME PHASE OF BEING INITIATED.

AND THE WATER, EXCUSE ME, THE LAND BANK FOR A HIDDEN CREEK PARKWAY AND I-35 THAT WAS COMPLETED THE ACQUISITION, THAT PROJECT LAST FALL. AND THAT'S THE SUBJECT OF THE REVENUE BONDS.

THIS SHOWS THE FUND BALANCE OF THE 4A CORPORATION.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE HIT OUR PEAK ON THIS LIST OF THE $8.7 MILLION AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

AND IT WILL MODERATE DOWN SLIGHTLY, BUT IT IS STILL A VERY HEALTHY FUND BALANCE.

AND THIS IS THE CFP FOR THE 4A CORPORATION. ALL OF THESE PROJECTS ARE UNDERWAY OR ARE BEING COMPLETED.

ONE OF THE OTHERS. SO WE'RE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THESE PROJECTS.

AND THIS IS THE FUND BALANCE FOR THE, 4B CORPORATION AS WELL.

THE TIF FUND DOESN'T HAVE ANY CAPITAL PROJECTS THIS YEAR OR IN THE FIVE-YEAR FORECAST, BUT IT SHOWS THE FUND BALANCE.

AND AS PART OF THE REASON WHY YOU SEE THE FUND BALANCE CLIMBED OVER THE FIVE-YEAR HORIZON.

THEN UNDER THE REFUNDING OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS REFERENCED WE DO DEBT REFUNDING THAT ALLOWS THE CITY TO REFINANCE EXISTING DEBT WHENEVER WE, THE MARKET CONDITIONS DROP OR WE HAVE A STRATEGY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ALIGN WITH IN TERMS OF OUR LONG-TERM FINANCING OBJECTIVES.

SO A LOT OF TIMES WE CAN REDUCE OUR OVERALL INTEREST RATE THAT WE PAY.

WE CAN PRODUCE BUDGETARY SAVINGS BY DOING REFUNDING OR IMPROVE CLASS CASH FLOW FLEXIBILITY AS WELL.

AND WE ALWAYS MONITOR REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT DEMONSTRATES GOOD FISCAL STEWARDSHIP.

[01:45:05]

IT ALLOWS US TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY COME AWAY THAT WE CAN COME AWAY WITH.

WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT, AT LEAST FOR DEBT TO EXIST FOR TEN YEARS BEFORE WE CAN EXECUTE ANY OF THE STRATEGIES.

AND THE REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ALSO CAN PRODUCE EITHER SAVINGS OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OVERALL MARKET CONDITIONS.

THIS REFUNDING OPPORTUNITY TRACKS BACK TO WHEN S&P DID A REVIEW OF OUR REVENUE BONDS THIS PAST FALL.

IN DOING SO THEY GAVE US, THEY SHIFTED OUR OUTLOOK FOR OUR BONDS FROM A STABLE POSITION TO A NEGATIVE POSITION.

AND EVEN THOSE AA RATED. THAT MEANT THAT IT WAS A 1 IN 3 CHANCE.

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WE COULD EXPERIENCE A DOWNGRADE.

SO IN RESPONSE TO THAT, WE DECIDED TO REALLY AVOID THOSE ODDS AND PURSUE REFUNDING.

SO THE CITY'S LONG TERM REVENUE BONDS ARE REALLY MINOR.

WE, THE BONDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR 14 YEARS.

SO WE DON'T HAVE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME TO GO FORWARD WITH.

SO IT'S NOT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF REFUNDING THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING.

WE CURRENTLY ISSUE A COS FOR WATER AND SEWER BONDS.

THEY HAVE A DUAL BACKING OF THE REVENUE FROM THE WATER AND SEWER FUND AS WELL AS TAX.

THAT WAY WE'RE LEANING INTO THE STRONG RATING THAT WE GET ON THE TAX SUPPORTED DEBT SIDE AND GET A MORE COMPETITIVE INTEREST RATE ON THOSE AND SAVE MORE FUNDING. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THAT AND THAT'S WHAT THIS DELIVERS FOR US.

IN TERMS OF A RECOMMENDATION, WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE TRANSITION REALLY FROM THE REVENUE BONDS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE INTO GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BOND.

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE STRENGTH THAT I MENTIONED OF THE AA RATING THAT THE WATER AND SEWER RATINGS HAS, AND IT AVOIDS POTENTIAL FOR A DOWNGRADE. ON THE PARAMETER SIDE WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE CONSIDER THAT WE HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY UNDER CHAPTER, CHAPTERS 1371, AS WELL AS 1207 OF TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.

IT APPLIES TO NEW MONEY ISSUANCE AS WELL AS REFUNDING, AND IT ALLOWS YOU TO DELEGATE THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THE DEBT ISSUANCE OVER A 12 YEAR PERIOD OR, EXCUSE ME, 12 MONTH PERIOD. REASONS FOR LOOKING AT A PARAMETERS ORDINANCE DEALS WITH MARKET RESPONSIVENESS EFFICIENCY CONTROL. AND YOU GET TO DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO MORE RELATIVE EXPERTISE INDIVIDUALS.

THE PERSON WHO FINALLY MAKES THE DECISION IN TERMS OF WHEN TO ISSUE THE DEBT UNDER THE PERIMETER ORDINANCE IS THE CITY MANAGER.

THE CITY HAS USED A PERIMETER ORDINANCE BEFORE.

WE USED ONE LAST YEAR WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE IMPACT THAT TARIFFS COULD HAVE ON THE MARKET SINCE THEN, THE FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED THE COUNCIL ADOPTED AMENDMENTS TO YOUR DEBT POLICY TO TO SPECIFICALLY SPELL OUT THE USE OF PERIMETER ORDINANCES AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS. THIS YEAR TARIFFS STILL CAN HAVE AN IMPACT, ALTHOUGH NOT TO THE DEGREE LAST YEAR, BUT THE. THE WAR WITH IRAN IS THE REASON THAT WE'RE WE'RE RECOMMENDING IT THIS YEAR IN CASE THEY MAKE SOME SUDDEN CHANGE THAT CAN IMPACT THE THE MARKET.

AND THE BOND MARKET HAS BEEN RESPONDING TO TO THE THE WAR IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

THE WAY THE THE ACTUAL PERIMETER ORDINANCE WORK.

WE JUST HAVE AN EXAMPLE HERE AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO SPECIFICS ON THIS ISSUANCE.

IF YOU APPROVE THE PERIMETER ORDINANCE AS WELL AS SUPPORTIVE RESOLUTION FOR THE REVENUE BONDS, IN THIS CASE, YOU WOULD LOOK AT A $10 MILLION BOND.

YOU WOULD SET A LIMIT ON THE HIGH SIDE OF THE INTEREST RATE.

HERE'S 5% IS AN EXAMPLE. YOU SET A LIMIT ON HOW LONG THE THE DEBT COULD BE ISSUED FOR.

SO YOU HAVE 20 YEARS HERE. AND THEN THE TIME FRAME IN WHICH THE CITY MANAGER HAS TO ACTUALLY EXECUTE THE ORDINANCE AND ISSUE THE DEBT LISTED HERE IS A 180 DAYS. SO YOU SPELL OUT A TIME FRAME FOR THAT TO OCCUR.

SO THE PERIMETER ORDINANCE OFFERS A FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT SACRIFICING OVERSIGHT.

IS USED FOR NEW MONEY AS WELL AS REFUNDING AND EMPOWERS THE CITY TO STRATEGICALLY ACT IN A MORE DYNAMIC MARKET CONDITIONS.

THIS SUMMARIZES WHAT THE PERMANENT ORDINANCE WILL IMPACT.

REALLY IMPACTS THE $34.4 MILLION IN COS. WE SET A LIMIT OF $19 MILLION FOR THE GOS, AND THAT IS SPECIFIC ON THE TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE NEED, BUT IT GIVES US ENOUGH ROOM TO RESPOND TO MARKET CONDITIONS.

[01:50:03]

THE 7,000,000 600, EXCUSE ME, 7,760,000 FOR REVENUE BONDS.

THE TRUE INTEREST COST ON THE DEBT NOT TO EXCEED $5 MILLION FOR THE COS OR GOS, OR $6.5 MILLION FOR THE REVENUE BONDS. EARLIER DURING THE 4A BOARD MEETING, WE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS OF WHERE THE RATES WOULD COME IN AT.

AND I HAD MENTIONED THIS IS THE UPPER LIMIT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

SINCE THEN, I CONSULTED THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

SHE SAID FOR THE GOS, COS, SHE WAS, SHE PRICED THE MARKET THIS MORNING AND CAME IN MORE LIKE A 4.35 TO 4.4% FOR THE GOS, COS, AND FOR THE REVENUE BONDS, 5.78%.

SHE ALSO WANTED ME TO MENTION TO YOU THAT THEY ARE HIGHER REVENUE BONDS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

ONE, BECAUSE OF THE GOS HAVE A STRONGER BACKING OF THE TAX SUPPORTED SIDE PLUS THE REVENUE BONDS TO BE TAXABLE.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE LOOKING AT MORE THE HIGHER LIMIT ON THOSE SIDES.

THE ORDINANCE ALSO LAYS OUT THE NET PRESENT VALUE SAVINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THE REFUNDING OF 0.5%.

THEN IT SETS OUT REALLY A 30-YEAR MATURITY SCHEDULE OUT TO MARCH 1ST OF 2020, EXCUSE ME, MARCH 1ST OF 2046.

AND IT GIVES THE PRICING OFFICER THAT BEING THE CITY MANAGER 90 DAYS.

SO THAT'S UNIFORM FOR THE REVENUE BONDS AND GOS AND COS.

HARLAN. YES. JUST AS A CLARIFICATION, THE 5% IS FOR THE GO, CO MAX LIMIT AND THE SIX AND A HALF IS REVENUE.

YES, SIR. OKAY. THIS IS THE DEBT SCHEDULE OR DEBT CALENDAR THAT WE USE THIS YEAR, STARTING BACK IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. YOU HAVE THE COUNCIL MEETINGS AND ACTIONS IN BOLD AS WELL AS THE NOTICES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE POSTED.

MANY OF THE OTHER ITEMS ARE ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE.

THEN IT BRINGS US TO TODAY'S DATE WITH CITY COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING THE PARAMETER ORDINANCES AS WELL AS RESOLUTION.

THE OTHER DATE OF INTEREST IS THE POTENTIAL PRICING DATE.

THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD ISSUE THE DEBT. THIS SCHEDULE HAS AUGUST 26TH.

I SPOKE TO OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR. WE'RE ON SCHEDULE TO RECEIVE OUR BOND RATING THIS WEDNESDAY, AND WE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MOODY'S. AND THEN BY FRIDAY, WE ANTICIPATE ISSUING THE PRELIMINARY STATEMENT.

SO SHE SAID SHE WOULD LIKE FOR THAT TO BE ON THE MARKET AND HAVE POTENTIAL INVESTORS TO CONSIDER THAT FOR WEEKS.

SO THAT TAKES US TO AUGUST THE 28TH A WEEK FOR THAT.

SO SHE'S UPDATING THE TARGET PRICING DATE TO SEPTEMBER 1ST.

SO THAT'S MOVED SLIGHTLY. AND WE'RE SCHEDULED TO COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 14TH AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE SALE OF THE BOND.

SO ASSUMING WE DO PRICE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO YOU AND REPORT OUT ON THOSE AND PRETTY MUCH CLOSE THE LOOP ON THE STATUS OF, OF HOW WELL WE DID AND COMPARE IT TO THE PARAMETERS THAT, THAT YOU LAID OUT, OR YOU CONSIDERING IN THESE BONDS AND EXCUSE ME, IN THESE ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS, SO THE ACTION IS THAT WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE OR DENY A PARAMETER ORDINANCE FOR THE GOS, COS AND RESOLUTIONS FOR THE 4A CORPORATION STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTION.

I'D BE HAPPY TO RESPOND. ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? SO WE GOT THREE ITEMS TO VOTE ON. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR 8.B.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I HAVE A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND A SECOND BY PHIL.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS. 8.C, IS THERE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE 8.C. MOTION BY ADAM, SECOND BY LARRY. PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS. IS THERE A MOTION ON 8.D? MOVE TO APPROVE 8D. I HAVE A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND A SECOND BY ADAM. PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, IF I CAN REMIND YOU TO TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONES.

I'M HAVING A VERY HARD TIME HEARING. WHETHER YOU'RE APPROVING OR MAKING THE MOTIONS THAT YOU GUYS ARE MAKING, PLEASE. OKAY. I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK, AND WE'LL GET BACK PRETTY QUICK.

[01:55:04]

I COULD READ THROUGH THEM. HE SAID, GO AHEAD.

I WOULD HAVE REVIEWED THEM. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS BRINGS US TO 8.E. CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A CONTRACT WITH MILLIS DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION DALLAS, LLC FOR THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ON BURLESON LEGACY PARK PHASE I.

RFCSP 2026-022. FOR THE BID BASE. I'M SORRY, FOR THE BASE BID, PLUS ALL AD ALTERNATIVES IN THE AMOUNT OF $9,317,172.22.

WE GOT THAT $0.20 IN THERE, RANDY. WITH A PROJECT CONTINGENCY OF $937,017.22, FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $10,307,189.42. THIS IS PROJECT PAY, PK2311. STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS RANDY MORRISON, DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL ENGINEERING.

RANDY. THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS RANDY MORRISON, DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL ENGINEERING. EXCITED TO PRESENT THIS THIS ITEM THIS EVENING.

THIS ITEM IS FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE BURLESON LEGACY PARK PHASE I PROJECT.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT DESIGN KICKED OFF IN EARLY 2025.

INITIALLY LED BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, BUT AS DESIGN PROGRESSED, THE PROJECT EVENTUALLY TRANSITIONED OVER TO THE CAPITAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

AS WE PREPARED TO ADVERTISE THE PROJECT. YOU CAN SEE THERE A LIST OF SCOPE ITEMS. AND I THINK EVERYONE'S FAMILIAR THAT THE FIRST PHASE INCLUDES THREE SOFTBALL FIELDS, PARKING LOTS, THE NEW ROADWAY, MANY OTHER SITE AMENITIES TO REALLY SET THE FOUNDATION FOR THE BURLESON LEGACY PARK.

THE PROJECT THIS EVENING INCLUDES ALL THE, THE BASE AMENITIES IN THIS PHASE I.

AND I'LL GET INTO MORE DETAILS ON THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN JUST A MOMENT.

BUT BEFORE THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DEPUTY CITY MANAGER ERIC OSCARSON TO TALK THROUGH THE FUTURE MAINTENANCE OF THE BURLESON LEGACY PARK.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS WE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, AS WE LOOK AT CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE WANT TO CONSISTENTLY BE LOOKING AT WHAT THE OPERATIONAL COSTS ARE GOING TO BE WHEN IT COMES TO BRINGING NEW PARKS ONLINE. AND SO PREPARING FOR THE LONG-TERM OPERATION WE WANT TO PREPARE COUNCIL. CITY MANAGER HAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IN THE 4B FUND THAT THEIR OPERATIONAL COSTS THAT ARE PROGRAMED INTO THE FIVE-YEAR FORECAST. SOME OF THAT IS TIED TO THE MAINTENANCE AND FUTURE MAINTENANCE OF THIS NEW LEGACY PARK.

AND SO LONG TERM THERE WILL BE SOME NEEDS FOR PARK OPERATIONS, STAFF, MAINTENANCE VEHICLES, UTVS, OBVIOUSLY ON-SITE STORAGE AS THIS PARK GROWS, AND AS WE LOOK AT THAT, WE'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP COUNCIL INFORMED OF THE NEEDS AND LOOK AT BUDGETING THAT THOSE ITEMS ARE COVERED IN THE FUTURE.

JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW FOR THIS AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, THE FIRST TWO YEARS WILL HAVE SOME PLAN ESTABLISHMENT PERIODS.

SO THAT INCLUDES MAINTENANCE OF THE LANDSCAPING. IN THE SHORT TERM STAFF WILL HAVE TO STILL GO OUT THERE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BEING MAINTAINED.

THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE TURF AND EMPTY THE TRASH AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO STAFF WILL BE UTILIZED IN THE SHORT TERM FOR THAT.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY NEXT YEAR YOU'LL SEE A REQUEST TO START FILLING SOME OF THOSE MAINTENANCE POSITIONS.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD, AS WE ADD THE PLAYGROUND AND ADD ADDITIONAL FEATURES STAFF WILL BE RECOMMENDING ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT.

AND SO WE PLAN ON OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS YOU'LL SEE ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE STAFF BEING ADDED.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE AS WE LOOK AT CONSTRUCTING THIS PARK, THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE OPERATIONAL IMPACTS IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NOW I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH DETAILS OF THE PROCUREMENT.

SO WE DID ADVERTISE THIS PROJECT AS A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE, SEALED PROPOSALS THAT WAS ISSUED IN MAY OF 2026.

STAFF EVALUATED THE PROPOSALS BASED ON THE CRITERIA YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, WHICH INCLUDED LOOKING AT THE FIRM'S PROFILE, KEY STAFF, ALL THEIR QUALIFICATIONS AND HOW THEY APPROACH THE PROJECT.

SO LOOKING AT THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT COVERED 50 POINTS OUT OF 100 IN THE INITIAL SCORING CRITERIA, AND THEN WE THE PROPOSAL PRICE WAS THE OTHER 50 POINTS.

AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE CALLED IN THE TOP FIRMS FOR INTERVIEWS.

SO THAT MADE IT OUT OF 115 TOTAL POINTS. SO PROPOSALS WERE OPENED JULY 9TH OF 2026, AND STAFF COMPLETED THEIR

[02:00:04]

EVALUATIONS BY THE END OF JULY. AND NOW WE'RE RECOMMENDING AN AWARD.

THIS IS A QUICK BREAKDOWN OF THE FOUR SUBMISSIONS FOR PROPOSALS AND THE SCORING CRITERIA OF THAT EVALUATION.

SO WE ARE THIS EVENING RECOMMENDING AN AWARD OF THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT COSTS THERE AT $10,307,189.

THAT INCLUDES A 10% CONTINGENCY, WHICH IS MENTIONED AS PART OF THE AWARD.

OUR BUDGETED RESOURCES ARE JUST OVER 11.5 MILLION ON THIS PROJECT, BUT THAT DOES ACCOUNT FOR OTHER COSTS RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION, WHICH I'LL COVER NOW ON THIS SLIDE. SO AT THE TOP THERE YOU HAVE MILLIS DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION.

THAT CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AMOUNT THAT I MENTIONED A MOMENT AGO.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE A FEW OTHER COSTS RELATED TO PERMITTING AND COORDINATION WITH BNSF RAILROAD, WHICH RUNS ADJACENT TO THE PROJECT SITE. WE'RE COORDINATING WITH UCS ON THE NEW STREETLIGHTS AND ROADWAY LIGHTING ALONG THE NEW ROAD THAT'S BEING BUILT AS WELL AS SOME PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING.

SO WE DO ANTICIPATE BRINGING FORWARD A CONTRACT TO COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR THE LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS.

AND THEN WE ALSO PLAN ON BRINGING FORWARD A CONTRACT WITH A COMPANY TO DO MATERIAL TESTING, QA TESTING DURING CONSTRUCTION. SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT SOMEWHERE AROUND 200,000, AND THAT ALL WOULD MAKE UP OR FIT WITHIN OUR TOTAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE THERE, OUR TOTAL ESTIMATED RIGHT NOW IS AT 10.7, WHICH IS UNDER THE 11.5 THAT WE HAVE BUDGETED.

SO IF COUNCIL AWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT THIS EVENING WE ANTICIPATE STARTING CONSTRUCTION SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT AFTER THAT AFTER WE GET THROUGH PRE-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES, SUBMITTALS, THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE STARTING THE PROJECT FAIRLY SOON.

THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IS 365 CALENDAR DAYS.

SO WE WOULD ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION BEING COMPLETE NEXT FALL.

AND OPENING UP THIS FIRST PHASE FOR PUBLIC USE.

AS ERIC MENTIONED, THE CONTRACT DOES INCLUDE A TWO YEAR PLANT ESTABLISHMENT PERIOD, SO THE CONTRACTOR WOULD STAY ENGAGED AND UNDER CONTRACT FOR TWO YEARS FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION AND OPENING OF THE PARK. AND WITH THAT REQUESTING REQUESTING THE COUNCIL CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A CONTRACT WITH MILLIS DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES OF THE BURLESON LEGACY PARK.

PHASE ONE FOR A TOTAL BASE BID, PLUS ALL ADD ALTERNATES IN THE AMOUNT OF $9,370,172.20 WITH THE PROJECT CONSENT CONTINGENCY. BRINGING THAT TOTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT COST TO 10.3 MILLION.

SO I'LL BE AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY? HEY, RANDY. THE ONE OF THE ADULTS IS TURF ON THE IN THE INFIELD.

NO, WE ACTUALLY INCLUDED THAT IN THE BASE BID WAS IN THE BASE BID.

OKAY, BUT TURF IS WILL BE THERE. OKAY. CORRECT.

AND THEN WAS THIS ALSO THE AREA WHERE WE WERE APPLYING FOR THAT GOOGLE GRANT? BUT WE. CORRECT. NOPE. OKAY. AND WE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, UNFORTUNATELY.

OKAY. THAT'S ALL. BUT I LIKE THE TURF. THAT'S GOOD.

ANYBODY ELSE? ARE THESE FIELDS LIGHTED? I KNOW WE'VE GOT THE THING WITH UCS, BUT THAT'S ROADWAY AND PEDESTRIAN.

SO WE DO HAVE PLANS FOR FOR FIELD LIGHTING. WITHIN THE ALTERNATES WE HAVE FENCING AND OTHER SHADE AMENITIES.

BUT THE BASE BID INCLUDED THE TURF AND PLANS FOR LIGHTING.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE WE PREPPING THE WIRING. I MEAN, ARE WE DOING THAT AHEAD OR ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT WHEN WE GET THE LIGHTS? I BELIEVE THE THE BASE BID INCLUDES THE LIGHTING.

THE BASE BID INCLUDES THE LIGHTING, RIGHT. YEAH.

OKAY. YEAH. THE BASE BID INCLUDES THE LIGHTING.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. ANYBODY ELSE? ONE MORE LITTLE QUESTION ON THE THE AERIAL VIEW.

I KNOW IT'S A AI GENERATED VIEW. PROBABLY, BUT IT'S A FEW PAGES BACK.

YOUR FIRST PAGE OF THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OVERVIEW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGE NUMBER IT IS IN YOUR PRESENTATION, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE AN AERIAL PHOTO.

BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT RIGHT. IS THE NEAR FOREGROUND HERE THE ROUNDABOUT AT HULEN AND ALSBURY OR IS. NO, THE ROUNDABOUT WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT FROM THIS.

IT WOULD BE OFF TO THE LEFT. IN THIS PHOTO THIS WOULD BE LOOKING FROM FROM HULEN TOWARDS ALSBURY.

NOW I AM LOST. THIS IS A NEW ROAD. SO IT'S A NEW ROAD.

[02:05:04]

SO THE IMAGE YOU'RE SEEING IS FROM THIS ANGLE RIGHT HERE. SO THE BOTTOM ROAD IN THAT PICTURE IS IS HULEN.

THIS IS HULEN. HERE'S THE ROUNDABOUT. THIS IS THE BRAND NEW ROAD THAT IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT IMAGES FROM THIS NEW ROAD WITH THIS PARKING LOT.

SO THIS, THIS IS THE NEW ROAD ARC THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE.

AND TO THE LEFT WOULD BE ALSBURY AND BELOW WOULD BE HULIN, RIGHT? YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? IS THERE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I HAVE A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND A SECOND BY ALEXA.

THANK YOU. THAT.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO EIGHT F. CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN AMENDMENT TO A GMP CONTRACT

[8.F. Consider and take possible action on an amendment to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract (CSO#6127-05-2026) with Byrne Construction Services for the Police Headquarters Expansion and Remodel in the amount of $1,073,829. (FA2301) (Staff Contact: Eric Oscarson, Deputy City Manager)]

C06127-05-2026 WITH BRANT CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

EXPANSION AND REMODEL IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,000,073 080 SORRY $1,073,829.

FA2301 STAFF PRESENTER IS ERIC OSCARSON, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

ERIC. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS PROMISED, I AM BACK TO DISCUSS THE ROOF OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AS WELL AS THE TWO UNITS ON THAT ON THAT FACILITY. I WON'T GO THROUGH TOO MUCH OF THIS BACKGROUND.

THIS IS THE BACKGROUND SLIDES YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE. MOST RECENTLY, IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND A CHANGE ORDER RECONCILING SOME OF THE ACCOUNTS AND APPROVING AN AMENDMENT.

AT THAT TIME, I MENTIONED I WOULD COME BACK TO ALL OF YOU AND DISCUSS WHAT WE FOUND WHEN WE STARTED RESEARCHING THE ROOF OF THE EXISTING BUILDING CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE NEW RTU'S. AND SO BACK TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THAT, I DID WANT TO SHOW SOME PHOTOS.

WE ARE MOVING QUICKLY ON THAT BUILDING. IF THESE THESE EVEN LOOK OLD COMPARED TO IF YOU DRIVE BY TODAY WE HAVE THE SECOND STORY COMPLETED, THE ROOF DECKING IS GOING ON AND SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY STARTING FRAMING OF INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR WALLS.

THIS IS A VISUAL OF THE STORM SHELTER. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE GETTING READY TO POUR THE LID ON THAT FACILITY.

AND SO THAT WILL BE THE STORM SHELTER THAT WILL ALSO BE THERE HAND TO HAND COMBAT, DEFENSIVE TRAINING TACTICS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THAT SPACE.

FROM THIS VIEW, YOU CAN SEE THE SALLY PORT, THE SALLY PORT IS ACTUALLY COMPLETE NOW WITH IT ALL FRAMED OUT.

AND SO WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO HAVING EXTERNAL FRAMING, PUTTING THE PARAPET WALLS UP AND START GETTING A ROOF ON.

HOPEFULLY THE INTENT IS BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER WE WILL HAVE THE ENTIRE BUILDING BE DRIED IN, WHICH MEANS WE REALLY START CRUISING. ON GETTING A LOT OF THE INTERIOR WORK DONE.

AGAIN, THESE PHOTOS AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS OLD FROM WHEN WE POSTED THESE ARE BUILDING C AND D, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR BEAMS POURED.

ALL THE UNDERGROUND WORK IS BEING COMPLETED, AND WE'RE GOING TO START POURING THE FOUNDATION FOR THEM. SO WE'RE GOING TO START PUTTING FRAMING UP TO GO VERTICAL ON THOSE BUILDINGS C AND D AS WELL.

SO AGAIN, PLAN IS BY OCTOBER TO HAVE ALL THREE BUILDINGS DRIED IN.

AND WE'LL START MOVING ON THE INTERIOR. SO AGAIN PROJECT ALLOCATIONS IS CURRENTLY $50 MILLION.

WE HAVE $50 MILLION AVAILABLE IN FUNDING THANKS TO COUNCIL'S APPROVAL AT THE LAST IN MAY.

CURRENT ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION. WE CURRENTLY.

IN THE LAST FUNDING ALLOCATION, YOU ALLOCATED $882,359 FOR THE ROOF AND THE HVAC REPLACEMENT.

WE DIDN'T MENTION THAT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ROOF WAS GOING TO HOLD.

LITERALLY WHAT THE ROOF WAS GOING TO HOLD. WE DID FIND OUT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE MINOR.

TO THE TUNE OF LESS THAN $200,000 IN IMPROVEMENTS.

SO WE WILL BE HAVING TO CUT OPEN THAT THE CEILING THROUGH THERE.

WE WILL HAVE TO BE PUTTING SUPPORT SUPPORT STRUCTURES.

WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE THAT DEMO. SO THERE'S ADDITIONAL DEMO COSTS PLUS ADDITIONAL REHAB COSTS WHEN WE RIP THE ROOF OUT.

BUT IT WAS NOT TO THE TUNE OF $1 MILLION AS WE HAD FIRST ANTICIPATED.

SO THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN WE THOUGHT. FUNDING AVAILABILITY TO FUND THIS CHANGE ORDER IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET THAT YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT AND APPROVING IN THE FUTURE DOES INCLUDE $207,000 IN ACCOUNT RECONCILIATION AND INTEREST INCOME FROM PUBLIC SAFETY BONDS THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING APPROPRIATED

[02:10:01]

IN FY 27 CIP THAT RANDY HAS PRESENTED. AND SO WE'LL BE UTILIZING THOSE FUNDS.

SO NO ADDITIONAL DEBT ISSUANCE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS CHANGE ORDER.

AND SO WITH NEXT STEPS AFTER IF APPROVED THIS EVENING, WE WILL COMPLETE THE CHANGE ORDER AND WE'LL ORDER THE RTU'S.

PROBABLY THE SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, IF NOT THE FIRST.

I'LL BE BRINGING FORWARD THE FURNITURE PURCHASE.

SO THAT IS THE FURNITURE FOR DISPATCH IN THE NEW BUILDING.

AND THEN SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OR EARLIER WE'RE DISCUSSING IT NOW.

WE'LL BE BRINGING FORWARD THE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE. AND THOSE WILL BE KIND OF THE LAST ITEMS FOR THE PD BUILDING AT THIS TIME.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE AMENDMENT IN THE LITTLE OVER $1 MILLION FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANYBODY? MOTION.

IS THERE A MOTION? GO AHEAD. DAN. WELL, BY THE TIME I GOT IT OUT, MOTION AND SECOND WERE GONE.

SORRY, DAN GOT A MOTION BY VICTORIA AND SECOND BY ALEXA.

I MOVE TO APPROVE. JUST SO WE HAVE THAT ON THE RECORD.

OKAY. EXCELLENT. SNOOZE YOU LOSE. DAN. EVERYBODY VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION NINE REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS.

[9.A. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding results from the 2026 City of Burleson Resident Satisfaction Survey. (Staff Contact: Kevin Hennessey, Director of Finance)]

NINE A IS TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING RESULTS FROM THE 2026 CITY OF BURLESON RESIDENT SATISFACTION SURVEY.

THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS KEVIN HENNESSEY, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.

KEVIN. THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS. AS MENTIONED, WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS THE RESIDENTIAL SATISFACTION SURVEY.

SO HAS BEEN OUR PRACTICE. WE DO THIS EVERY OTHER YEAR.

WE ENGAGE WITH ETC. INSTITUTE AGAIN THIS YEAR, WHICH THEY PERFORM THE SURVEY IN 2224 AND AGAIN THIS YEAR IN 26.

AND SO TO DISCUSS AND WALK THROUGH THE RESULTS OF THAT SURVEY, WE HAVE.

DEREK HARVEY WAS A PROJECT MANAGER WITH THE ETC.

INSTITUTE AND BEFORE I. STEAL ANY OF HIS THUNDER, I WILL STEP ASIDE.

THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL. THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.

AS MENTIONED, I'M DEREK HARVEY, A PROJECT MANAGER.

I'M FILLING IN FOR MY COLLEAGUE RYAN MURRAY, WHO HAS MANAGED THE PROJECT IN THE PAST, BUT HE HAD A SCHEDULING CONFLICT.

FOR TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE 26 CITY OF BURLESON RESIDENT SATISFACTION SURVEY FINDINGS.

SINCE WE'VE DONE YOUR SURVEY THE LAST THREE TIMES, I'M GOING TO SKIP PAST ETC.

INSTITUTE AND WHO WE ARE. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA ALREADY.

FOR THE AGENDA TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PERCEPTIONS AND RATINGS OF BURLESON.

LOOK AT TRENDS COMPARED TO THE 24 AND 22 SURVEYS.

LOOK AT BENCHMARKING TO THE TEXAS AND NATIONAL AVERAGES.

LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT. WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL FINDINGS FROM OTHER QUESTIONS WE ASKED ON THE SURVEY, AND THEN WE'LL GO OVER THE SUMMARY AND HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END.

THE PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY WAS WE WANT TO OBJECTIVELY ASSESS RESIDENT SATISFACTION WITH THE DELIVERY OF CITY SERVICES.

GATHER INPUT FROM RESIDENTS TO HELP CITY LEADERS SET PRIORITIES.

WE ALSO WANTED TO TRACK THE CITY'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST ITSELF.

LOOK AT THOSE TRENDS AND AGAINST OTHER COMMUNITIES OVER TIME.

THAT'S WHERE WE LOOK AT THE BENCHMARKING FOR THIS METHODOLOGY.

WE DID THE METHODOLOGY THE SAME AS WE'D DONE IN THE PAST TWO SURVEYS AND 24 AND 22.

THE SURVEYS ADMINISTERED BY MAIL, PHONE AND ONLINE, WITH FOLLOW UPS BY TEXT, EMAIL AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

THE SAMPLES DESIGNED TO ENSURE RESULTS ARE STATISTICALLY VALID OF THE CITY'S POPULATION.

THE WAY WE DO THAT IS WE TAKE THE SHAPEFILES OF YOUR CITY, PURCHASE ALL THE RESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES WITHIN THE SHAPEFILE, AND THAT'S WHAT THE RANDOM SAMPLE IS SELECTED FROM.

MAKE SURE WE HEAR FROM ALL AREAS OF THE CITY, AND EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME PERCENTAGE CHANCE OF BEING SELECTED FOR THE SURVEY.

FOR THE SURVEY THIS YEAR WE GOT 475 COMPLETED SURVEYS.

THAT GAVE US A MARGIN OF ERROR OF PLUS MINUS 4.5% AT THE 95% LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE WITH THAT 95% LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE.

MEANS IS IF WE DID THIS SURVEY 100 TIMES, WE WOULD EXPECT 95 OF THOSE TIMES TO COME BACK WITHIN OUR MARGIN OF ERROR PLUS -4.5%.

WHEN LOOKING AT THE LOCATION OF SURVEY RESPONDENTS, THAT'S THE GIS MAP THAT WE USED FOR BURLESON AND THE SURVEY.

THAT'S WHAT WE SELECT. THE RANDOM SAMPLE FROM THIS MAP IS SHOWING THE COMPLETIONS FROM THIS SURVEY.

THESE DOTS ARE CODED TO THE NEAREST BLOCK LEVEL TO KEEP RESPONDENTS ANONYMOUS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE DID A GOOD JOB HEARING FROM ALL AREAS OF THE CITY.

IN ADDITION TO GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION, WE'RE ALSO MONITORING ETHNICITY, RACE, AGE, AND GENDER BREAKDOWN AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY WITH OUR RESULTS. WHAT TO KNOW ON THE SURVEY ON THE RIGHT THERE ARE 475 COMPLETED SURVEYS.

THAT WAS AN UPTICK FROM 24. WE HAD 433 COMPLETED SURVEYS IN 2024.

[02:15:01]

MARGIN OF ERROR 4.5%. AND THE BIG ONE, 93% OF YOUR RESPONDENTS PROVIDED AN EXCELLENT OR GOOD RATING WHEN ASKED ABOUT BURLESON AS A PLACE TO LIVE.

THAT WAS CONSISTENT WITH 24 AND 22 RATINGS, WHICH WERE ALSO AT 93%.

THE CITY IS CONTINUING TO SET THE STANDARD FOR SERVICES, MENTIONING THAT 93% RATED THE CITY AS A PLACE TO LIVE IS EXCELLENT OR GOOD.

THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 55% AND THE TEXAS AVERAGE IS 50% FOR AS A PLACE TO LIVE.

SO BURLESON IS RATING ALMOST 40 POINTS ABOVE BOTH OF THOSE COMPARISONS WHEN IT COMES TO AS A PLACE TO LIVE.

PERCEPTIONS OF THE CITY ARE REMAINING HIGH. OF THE SIX QUALITY OF LIFE ITEMS THAT WERE COMPARED FROM 2024 TO 2026, THE CITY SAW CONSISTENT LEVELS OF EXCELLENT AND GOOD RATINGS.

NONE OF THE AREAS SAW SIGNIFICANT CHANGES BETWEEN 24 AND 26, AND WE WANTED TO DESIGN THE SURVEY FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT.

THERE WERE THREE ITEMS THAT CAME UP ACROSS THE SURVEY.

THAT WAS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION ON TEXAS DOT ROADWAYS, MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND SIDEWALKS, AND FLOW TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON CITY ROADWAYS AS WELL.

WHEN LOOKING AT THE PERCEPTIONS, YOUR HIGHEST RATED ITEM I ALREADY MENTIONED WAS AS A PLACE TO LIVE AT 93%.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S VERY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR 24 AND 22 SURVEYS AS A PLACE TO RAISE CHILDREN.

85% AS A PLACE YOU WERE PROUD TO CALL HOME, AND OVERALL QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED WITH THE CITY ALL STAYED FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS SURVEYS.

AS A PLACE TO RETIRE AND AS A PLACE TO WORK WERE THE LOWER RATED ONES, BUT THEY ARE STAYING CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE SEEN OVER 22 AND 24.

I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT NATIONAL RATINGS AND SOME OF THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN DROPPING IN OTHER COMMUNITIES WE HAVE SURVEYED, SO FOR BURLESON TO STAY CONSISTENT IS DEFINITELY AN OUTLIER COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES WE'RE SURVEYING AT THE MOMENT.

WHEN LOOKING AT OUR GIS MAPS, WE CAN USE THE MAPS TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY AND HOW THEIR AVERAGE ANSWER IS TO A QUESTION.

SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE OVERALL QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF BURLESON, IT ALREADY HAD A HIGH SATISFACTION SCORE.

SO I WOULD EXPECT MOST OF THE CITY TO BE FEELING SATISFIED.

BUT AS WE CAN SEE HERE, THERE'S AREAS THAT ARE SATISFIED.

THAT'S THE LIGHT BLUE. AND THEN THERE'S AREAS THAT ARE FEELING VERY SATISFIED AS WELL.

AS WE GET INTO LATER ISSUES, WE'LL SEE THAT SOME OF THESE COLORS WILL CHANGE AS WE GO ON FOR FEELINGS OF SAFETY.

AND HOW SAFE DO YOU FEEL IN DIFFERENT AREAS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DURING THE DAY? WAS THE TOP RATED ONE AT 96% OF RESPONDENTS FEELING VERY SAFE OR SAFE IN THE CITY OF BURLESON OVERALL, AT 88% IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AT NIGHT SAW A JUMP FROM 79 TO 84%, AND CITY PARKS AND TRAILS SAW A SLIGHT JUMP FROM 71 TO 74%.

AND COMMERCIAL RETAIL AND IN COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL AREAS ALSO SAW A JUMP AS WELL FROM THE PREVIOUS SURVEYS.

WHEN LOOKING AT OVERALL RATINGS, YOUR QUALITY OF SOLID WASTE SERVICES, QUALITY OF PUBLIC SAFETY, WASTEWATER, SEWER, WATER UTILITY, THE QUALITY OF PARKS AND REC, CITY COMMUNICATION, AND THE QUALITY OF CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED BY EMPLOYEES WHERE ALL YOUR HIGHEST RATED ITEMS. A LOT OF CORE CITY SERVICES THAT YOU PROVIDE TO YOUR RESIDENTS WERE HIGHLY RATED, AS YOU CAN SEE AS WELL, YOU STAYED FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR NUMBERS FROM 24 IN THESE ITEMS AS WELL.

THERE WERE SOME DROPS, BUT THEY WEREN'T STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.

THEY WERE WITHIN OUR MARGIN OF ERROR OF THAT PLUS -4.5%.

IF WE GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO YOUR BOTTOM FOUR, IS THE VALUE YOU RECEIVED FOR YOUR CITY TAX DOLLARS AND FEES, 45% OF THE COMMUNITY BEING SATISFIED WITH THAT MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND SIDEWALKS SAW A SLIGHT UPTICK.

SINCE 24, FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION WAS FAIRLY CONSISTENT.

FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON TEXAS ROADWAYS WAS ALSO FAIRLY CONSISTENT, THOUGH IT DID SEE A 1% JUMP.

WHEN LOOKING AT THE TRENDS OVERALL, WE'VE TOUCHED ON SOME OF THIS. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 112 AREAS THAT COULD BE COMPARED FROM 26 TO THE 24 SURVEYS.

OF THOSE, 77 OF THEM SAW AN INCREASE FROM 24.

SO THAT WAS 69% OF YOUR ITEMS SAW AN INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS SURVEY TO THIS SURVEY SURVEY OF THE AREAS THAT SAW INCREASES, 31 OF THEM SAW SIGNIFICANT INCREASES. SO THAT'S INCREASES THAT WERE ABOVE OUR 4.5% 95% LEVEL CONFIDENCE.

SO THAT'S 28% OF YOUR SURVEY ITEMS SAW SIGNIFICANT INCREASE.

LIKE I SAID EARLIER, THIS TYPE OF SUCCESS HAS BEEN UNCOMMON SINCE 2020.

WE'RE NOT SEEING THESE IMPROVEMENTS IN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES.

SO BURLESON IS DOING VERY WELL WHEN IT COMES TO THESE RESPONDENTS AND SOME OF THESE AREAS.

YOUR HIGHEST RATED INCREASES THE QUALITY OF THE CITY SENIOR CITIZEN PROGRAM SAW 22 POINT BUMP FROM THE LAST SURVEY, NUMBER OF CONNECTIVITY OF WALKING AND BIKING TRAILS, 10% QUALITY OF CITY ADULT ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. A LOT OF PARKS AND REC SYSTEMS SAW BIG JUMPS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO YOUR NUMBER OF PARKS, AND THE TIMELINESS OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CITY SAW 8% BUMP AS WELL.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE NEGATIVE TRENDS, THERE WERE ITEMS THAT DID DECREASE FROM 2024.

[02:20:03]

HOWEVER, NONE OF THEM WERE SIGNIFICANT DECREASES.

THEY WERE ALL WITHIN OUR MARGIN OF ERROR 4.5%.

SO SOME OF THESE ITEMS ARE ITEMS WE DO WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON FOR OUR NEXT SURVEY.

THEY MAY BECOME SIGNIFICANT THEN, BUT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE DECREASES.

THEY'RE WORTH MONITORING, BUT THEY AREN'T SIGNIFICANT. THE TOP ONE BEING THE VALUE RECEIVED FOR YOUR CITY TAX DOLLARS.

AND WE SAW 4% DECREASE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHERE WE'RE JUST SEEING 2% DECREASES WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON CITY ROADWAYS, AND HOW EASY IT IS TO RECEIVE INFORMATION WHEN CALLING THE CITY.

WITH THE BENCH MARKINGS, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE TEXAS AND NATIONAL AVERAGES, ETC., INSTITUTE MAINTAINS OUR OWN BENCHMARKING.

EVERY SUMMER, WE DO A NATIONAL SURVEY OF 5000 RESIDENTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

THAT'S WHERE OUR NATIONAL AVERAGE COMES FROM.

AND WE DO A REGIONAL SURVEY AS WELL FOR SEVERAL REGIONS IN THE AREA.

WE DO ONE JUST FOR TEXAS OF ABOUT 800 TO 900 RESIDENTS IN TEXAS AS WELL.

FOR YOUR SURVEY, THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 58 ITEMS THAT WERE DIRECTLY COMPARABLE TO THIS REGIONAL AND NATIONAL AVERAGE.

BURLESON RATED ABOVE BOTH THE NATIONAL AND TEXAS AVERAGE, AND 55 OF THOSE 58 AREAS ASSESSED.

SO 95% OF THE ITEMS ON YOUR SURVEY THAT COULD BE COMPARED WERE HIGHER, AND 49 ITEMS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER.

SO THAT'S ABOVE OUR 4.5% MARGIN OF ERROR. WHEN WE LOOK AT YOUR OVERALL SATISFACTION WITH MAJOR CITY SERVICES, YOUR HIGHLY RATED ITEMS AND QUALITY SERVICES, SOLID WASTE SERVICES, PUBLIC SAFETY, WASTEWATER, SEWER BURLESON IS LEADING THE WAY IN ALL THESE AREAS.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BENCHMARKING, THE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL AVERAGES, IT ISN'T UNTIL WE GET DOWN TO THE VALUE YOU RECEIVED FROM YOUR CITY, TAX DOLLARS AND FEE THAT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS HIGHER, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT ON PAR WITH THE TEXAS AVERAGE.

YOUR MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND SIDEWALKS SIDEWALKS IS HIGHER THAN THE TEXAS AVERAGE, AND RIGHT ON PAR WITH THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION ON CITY ROADWAYS IS RIGHT, WITH THE TEXAS AVERAGE A LITTLE BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AND THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON STATE ROADWAYS IS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW BOTH OF THOSE.

WHEN WE MOVE ON, WE'LL SEE THAT WITH THE NATIONAL BENCHMARKING.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER ITEMS, NO SURPRISES WITH THE QUALITY OF CITY BULK TRASH, LEAF AND BRUSH COLLECTION ALMOST 44 POINTS HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE EFFECTIVENESS OF CITY COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC.

THAT'S A BIG ONE. AT 43%. YOUR SOLID WASTE SERVICES, CURBSIDE, OVERALL QUALITY OF SERVICES.

ALL OF THESE ITEMS, DOWN TO QUALITY OF CURBSIDE, TRASH AND GARBAGE COLLECTION, ARE ALMOST 33 POINTS HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

THERE ARE ONLY THREE ITEMS THAT WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. THAT WAS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON CITY ROADWAYS AT 7.2%, AND THE VALUE RECEIVED FROM YOUR CITY TAX DOLLARS AND FEES, AND THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON THOSE ROADWAYS.

WHEN LOOKING AT THE TEXAS BENCHMARKING, ONCE AGAIN, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CITY COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC. ALMOST 55 POINTS.

QUALITY OF WATER UTILITY SERVICES. SOLID WASTE CITY BULK ITEMS AS A PLACE TO LIVE.

THAT ONE WE MENTIONED EARLIER 43 POINTS HIGHER THAN THE TEXAS AVERAGE.

ONLY ONE ITEM WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE TEXAS AVERAGE, AND THAT WAS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON THE STATE ROADWAYS, WHICH AT ABOUT 20 POINTS. WHEN WE LOOKED AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT, WE ASKED RESIDENTS.

AFTER WE ASKED ABOUT OVERALL SATISFACTION WITH ALL OF THESE ITEMS, WE THEN ASKED THEM WHICH OF THESE SERVICES SHOULD RECEIVE THE MOST EMPHASIS OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. THERE WERE CLEAR TOP THREE. IT WAS THAT FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON TEXAS DOT ROADWAYS, MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND SIDEWALKS, AND THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON CITY ROADWAYS, FOLLOWED BY THE VALUE RECEIVED FOR CITY TAX DOLLARS AND FEES.

THESE SHOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE. THESE WERE ALSO THE FOUR ITEMS THAT WERE OF LEAST SATISFACTION TO RESIDENTS AS WELL.

SO FOR THEM, BEING THE HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR THEM IS NOT A SURPRISE WHEN LOOKING AT THESE RESULTS.

WHAT THIS ALLOWS US TO DO IS IT RUNS IT THROUGH OUR IMPORTANT SATISFACTION ANALYSIS.

IT RATES THE IMPORTANT PERCENTAGE THAT RESIDENTS PLACE ON AN ITEM AGAINST THE OVERALL SATISFACTION PERCENTAGE.

AN ITEM WITH HIGHER IMPORTANCE, LOWER SATISFACTION IS GOING TO COME TO THE TOP AND VICE VERSA.

LOWER SATISFACTION HIGH OR LOWER IMPORTANCE. HIGHER SATISFACTION IS GOING TO GO TO THE BOTTOM.

SO WITH THE SATISFACTION SCORES OF THE THREE ITEMS THAT ARE OF VERY HIGH PRIORITY, THEY WERE ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS. IT'S NOT A SURPRISE TO SEE THOSE ITEMS BE AT THE TOP.

THAT'S YOUR FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND THE MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND SIDEWALKS. YOUR VALUE RECEIVED FOR CITY TAX DOLLARS AND FEE WAS THE FOURTH MOST IMPORTANT.

IT WAS ALSO THE FOURTH LEAST SATISFIED. SO IT'S ALSO NOT A SURPRISE TO SEE THAT JUMP UP UP THERE.

AND WE HIGHLIGHTED ENFORCEMENT OF LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONE ITEM OF THE OTHERS THAT'S CLOSEST TO JUMPING INTO A HIGH PRIORITY.

IF SATISFACTION DIPS THERE OR IMPORTANCE GOES UP, IT COULD JUMP UP INTO THAT CATEGORY.

THE REST OF THE ITEMS YOU'RE ALREADY PROVIDING AT THE EXPECTED LEVEL THAT RESIDENTS WANT.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE GIS MAPS FOR THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION WITH THIS, THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 15% OF YOUR POPULATION THAT SAID THEY WERE SATISFIED.

[02:25:09]

SO THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT A MAP TO LOOK LIKE.

BUT AS WE CAN SEE, THERE ARE TWO AREAS THAT ARE MORE DISSATISFIED THAN THE REST.

WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THOUGH. MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.

I THINK THIS IS A MUCH MORE HELPFUL MAP WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, IS WE CAN IDENTIFY ONE AREA THAT'S MORE SATISFIED.

THERE'S AREAS OF THE CITY THAT ARE FEELING NEUTRAL ABOUT THE QUESTION.

BUT THERE'S ALSO THREE AREAS THAT ARE MORE DISSATISFIED THAN OTHERS AS WELL.

AND THEN THE SAME THING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON CITY STREETS.

MOST OF THE CITY IS FEELING NEUTRAL, WITH TWO AREAS FEELING MORE DISSATISFIED.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT ADDITIONAL FINDINGS, WE ALSO ASKED ABOUT SOME CUSTOMER SERVICE RATINGS.

43% OF THE RESPONDENTS TO THE SURVEY INDICATED THEY HAD CONTACTED THE CITY IN THE PAST YEAR.

NO SURPRISES. THEY'RE SAYING THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALWAYS OR USUALLY DOING ALL OF THESE ITEMS OR ALWAYS ARE USUALLY COURTEOUS OR POLITE.

THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF SERVICE IS GOOD. THEY DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO.

AND THEN THE BIG THING IS ONLY 9%. THEY HELP ME SOLVE THE ISSUE.

MY SATISFACTION WAS THE HIGHEST DISSATISFIED OR THEY NEVER DID THAT ONE ON HERE.

SO VERY IMPRESSIVE. AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION ON THE SURVEY WAS WE ASKED RESIDENTS TO RATE THEIR IMPORTANCE TO ITEMS THAT SHOULD FUND WITH CITY TAX DOLLARS. THE RESPONDENTS DOUBLED DOWN AND SELECTED INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OR VERY IMPORTANT ITEM TO THEM. WITH ONLY 96 OR OVER 96% OF RESPONDENTS SAYING THAT THAT WAS THEIR MOST IMPORTANT ITEM, FOLLOWED BY PUBLIC SAFETY, FINANCIAL PLANNING, PARKS AND RECS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, ONLY 6% OF YOUR POPULATION SAID ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS NOT AT ALL IMPORTANT.

SO IT IS STILL IMPORTANT TO SOME RESIDENTS JUST WHEN IT'S RATED AGAINST OTHER THINGS, IT'S NOT AS.

IN SUMMARY, OVERALL PERCEPTIONS OF BURLESON REMAIN POSITIVE.

93% OF YOUR RESIDENTS RATED THE CITY AS AN EXCELLENT OR GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.

THAT'S NEARLY 40 PERCENTAGE POINTS ABOVE THE TEXAS AND NATIONAL AVERAGES.

RESIDENT SATISFACTION GENERALLY IMPROVED FROM 2024, SOMETHING WE'RE NOT SEEING IN ALL COMMUNITIES.

POSITIVE RATINGS INCREASED IN 77 OUT OF 112 AREAS.

31 OF THOSE INCREASES WERE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, WHILE NONE OF THE DECREASES WERE SIGNIFICANT.

BURLESON CONTINUES TO OUTPERFORM OUTPERFORM OTHER COMMUNITIES.

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT NATIONAL AND TEXAS AVERAGE, YOU'RE ABOVE AND 55 OF THE 58 COMPARABLE AREAS.

TRAFFIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE REPRESENT THE CLEAREST OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT, AS WE'VE SEEN PARTICULARLY CONGESTION ON TEXAS DOT ROADWAYS, MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS AND CONGESTION ON CITY STREETS.

AND THEN RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE, PRIORITIZE INVESTMENT IN THE CORE COMMUNITY NEEDS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY BEING THOSE TOP ITEMS THEY IDENTIFIED ON SURVEY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TAKE THEM NOW.

BUT IF THERE'S QUESTIONS I CAN'T ANSWER BECAUSE I DIDN'T HANDLE THE PROJECT ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

I'LL PASS THEM ALONG TO MY COLLEAGUE AND HE CAN GET A WRITTEN ANSWER BACK TO YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? YOU DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO 9B RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE PURSUIT OF TEXAS COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS TRANSPARENCY

[9.B. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the pursuit of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Transparency Stars program, which recognizes local governments for going above and beyond in their transparency efforts. (Staff Contact: Michael Franklin, Deputy Director of Finance)]

STARS PROGRAM, WHICH RECOGNIZES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND IN THEIR TRANSPARENCY EFFORTS.

THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS MICHAEL FRANKLIN, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.

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

I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A OVERVIEW AND AN UPDATE ON THE TRANSPARENCY STAR PROGRAM THAT THE CITY IS PURSUING.

AS A REMINDER, THIS IS A PROGRAM SET UP BY THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER THAT AWARDS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THEIR EFFORTS OF TRANSPARENCY.

THIS ALLOWS US TO OPEN OUR BOOKS AND TRADITIONAL FINANCE AREAS, AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS SUCH AS OPEN GOVERNMENT PURCHASING, COMPLIANCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER ITEMS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO PROVIDE CLEAR AND MEANINGFUL FINANCIAL INFORMATION WITH VISUALIZATIONS, DOWNLOADABLE DATA SETS AND OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION IN THESE AREAS.

AS A REMINDER, YOU FIRST MUST APPLY FOR THE TRADITIONAL FINANCES STAR, AND AFTER THAT THERE IS FIVE ADDITIONAL STARS WE ARE ABLE TO APPLY FOR FOR CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC PENSIONS, DEBT OBLIGATIONS, AND OPEN GOVERNMENT AND COMPLIANCE.

LAST TIME YOU HEARD FROM ME ABOUT THE TRANSPARENCY STARS WAS ROUGHLY A YEAR AGO.

THAT WAS RIGHT WHEN THE CITY WAS FIRST AWARDED THAT FIRST STAR FOR TRADITIONAL FINANCES.

IT WAS A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT, BUT OF COURSE HIGHLIGHTED JUST THE START OF OUR TRANSPARENCY STAR JOURNEY AND KIND OF SETTING THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR FUTURE APPLICATIONS.

YOU MAY ALSO REMEMBER IN DECEMBER, THE ACTING TEXAS COMPTROLLER HAD COME TO PRESENT A THIRD TRANSPARENCY STAR AT THAT POINT FOR DEBT OBLIGATIONS.

[02:30:06]

SO IN DECEMBER, THAT WAS OUR THIRD STAR WHEN HE CAME AND AWARDED THAT.

SO WHERE WE ARE NOW, CURRENT PROGRESS. YOU CAN SEE A SCREENSHOT OF THE WEBSITE LANDING PAGE FOR TRANSPARENCY STARS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

WE'VE ADDITIONALLY BEEN AWARDED SINCE THE COMPTROLLER'S VISIT THE TWO ADDITIONAL STARS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND OPEN GOVERNMENT, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO FIVE OF THE SIX TRANSPARENCY STARS.

AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS THAT SIXTH AND FINAL TRANSPARENCY STAR FOR CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT.

AS AN UPDATE TO THAT, SINCE PUTTING THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER, WE'VE ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR THAT LAST TRANSPARENCY STAR.

SO THAT IS UNDER REVIEW BY THE COMPTROLLER. WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM ON THE RESULTS OF THAT.

WE DID HAVE TO USE SOME ESTIMATED DATA IN THAT APPLICATION DUE TO OUR TRANSITION TO A NEW ERP THREE YEARS AGO, AS IT REQUIRES FIVE YEARS OF DATA. SO THE DATA FROM 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO WE HAVE.

BUT IT WAS DEEMED NOT PROHIBITIVE COST WISE TO PULL THAT INFORMATION FOR THE SIX STAR.

SO WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK ON THE CONTROLLER ON THE REVIEW OF THAT WEB PAGE FOR THE LAST STAR THERE AS AN UPDATE.

JUST THE TRANSPARENCY STAR PROGRAM OVERALL WITH THE CONTROLLER.

YOU CAN SEE HERE ENTITIES, AND I'LL POINT OUT THIS IS NOT JUST CITIES, THIS IS COUNTIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, ALL ENTITIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THIS TRANSPARENCY PROGRAM.

ONLY 19 OF THEM HAVE ALL SIX STARS, AND ONLY NINE OF THEM HAVE FIVE STARS.

SO JUST WITH THE FIVE STARS WE HAVE NOW, CITY OF BURLESON IS ONE OF 28 GOVERNMENT ENTITIES IN THE ENTIRE STATE THAT HAS THAT TRANSPARENT INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO VIEW AND HAVE THOSE AWARDS TO SHOW FOR IT.

KIND OF A RECOMMENDATION HERE TO APPLY FOR THAT LAST STAR, WHICH I MENTIONED WE HAVE DONE SINCE PUTTING THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER. BUT I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT LAST APPLICATION OR THE FIVE STARS WE'VE BEEN AWARDED, OR TAKE ANY COMMENTS OR DIRECTION GOING FORWARD ON OUR QUEST TO GET THOSE SIX STARS.

ANYBODY? I THINK IT'S PRETTY AWESOME. GREAT WORK TEAM.

REALLY TAKE IT ALL THE WAY. LET'S GET IT. YEAH, LET'S GET IT.

I'LL POINT OUT IT'S BEEN A BIG TEAM EFFORT AMONGST THE CITY WITH THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S NOT JUST A FINANCE AWARD FOR THOSE STARS.

IT TRULY IS A CITY WIDE EFFORT AND WORKING TOGETHER BETWEEN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS. SO THANK EVERYONE FOR THAT.

TYPICALLY A TIME FRAME ON THIS. WHEN DO YOU EXPECT A RESPONSE ON THIS OR IS IT SUBMITTED.

ITS DEPENDENT ON JUST WHEN THE CONTROLLER GETS BACK TO US WITH THE PREVIOUS FIVE STARS, IT WAS 1 OR 2 MONTHS.

THEY DO HAVE SOME TRANSITION RIGHT NOW WITH THE NEW CONTROLLER TAKING OVER IN AUGUST, SO I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WILL CHANGE THEIR TIME FRAME IN GETTING BACK TO US, BUT WE ARE WAITING ON THEM RIGHT NOW IN TERMS OF THAT LAST APPLICATION.

EXCELLENT. YOU DID GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO NINE C. THIS IS TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 2027

[9.C. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the FY 2026-2027 Strategic Plan. (Staff Contact: Janalea Hembree, Director of Strategy and Innovation)]

STRATEGIC PLAN. THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS JANALEA HEMBREE, DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND INNOVATION.

JANALEA. THANK YOU AMANDA. GOOD EVENING. SO GOOD NEWS.

I AM THE LAST ONE UP HERE. BAD NEWS. I HAVE THE LONGEST PRESENTATION, SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO THROUGH IT VERY QUICKLY.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STOP ME. FEEL FREE TO STOP ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE SLIDES, AS I AM GOING TO TRY TO GO THROUGH IT PRETTY QUICKLY. SO AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, THE STRATEGIC PLAN, HOW WE COME UP WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN THROUGH OUR VISION, MISSION VALUES, AND THEN FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WE CREATE WORK TASKS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BUILDING THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR.

WE USE THE CITY ADOPTED VISION AND MISSIONS, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OUR MASTER PLANS.

OF COURSE, YOU GUYS REMEMBER YOU HAD A COUNCIL RETREAT IN JANUARY OF 26, SO I'LL BRING UP SOME OF THOSE TOP PRIORITIES.

AND THEN WE LOOKED AT LAST YEAR'S STRATEGIC PLAN TO BRING THEM OVER.

THE KEY FOCUS AREAS REMAIN THE SAME FROM LAST YEAR OR THIS YEAR TO NEXT YEAR.

AND YOU'LL SEE THOSE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. WITHIN THOSE, WE HAVE GOALS. AND THEN WITHIN EACH OF THOSE GOALS WE'LL HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL TASKS.

FOCUS AREA ONE IS HIGH PERFORMING CITY AND ORGANIZATION WITH FOUR GOALS.

FOCUS AREA TWO DYNAMIC AND PREFERRED CITY WITH FIVE GOALS.

FOCUS AREA THREE BEAUTIFUL, SAFE AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY WITH FIVE GOALS THERE AND FOCUS AREA FOUR IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE WITH THREE GOALS.
