[6. CITIZENS’ INPUT]

THE MICROPHONE TOWARDS YOU? >> SPEAKER: HELLO. IT'S ME AGAIN, DEBORAH SCHINDLER, GOING TO TALK ABOUT LAKEFRONT TRAILS AGAIN. FOLLOWING OUR PRESENTATION AT THE LAST MEETING THE TOPIC HAS BEEN UNDER DISCUSSION AMONG MANY OF ROWLETT CITIZENS BOTH ONLINE AND OFF. THE COUNCIL HAS PROBABLY HEARD OR WILL HEAR FROM PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT THE CITY SHOULD PROCEED WITH PUTTING TRAILS THROUGH THE BACKYARDS REACHING THE SPIRIT OF THE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE HOMEOWNERS IN THE CITY FOR NEARLY 2 DECADES. SOME WILL EVEN SAY THAT THOSE OF US WHO WANT THE CITY TO HONOR THE AGREEMENT ARE SELFISH AND THEY CLAIM WE WANT TO PREVENT THEM FROM ACCESSING THE LAKE OR DENY THEM THE RIGHT TO ENJOY NATURE. THAT IS NEITHER TRUE OR LOGICAL. THERE'S NUMEROUS PUBLIC ACCESS POINT AREAS TO THE LAKE IN MANY WAYS TO ENJOY NATURE IN ROWLETT THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE TRAIPSING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS IN WHICH THEY HAVE HEAVILY INVESTED AND DISTURBING THEIR PRIVACY.

THOSE WHO OWN PROPERTY ON THE LAKEFRONT ARE IN THE MINORITY SO THE VOICES OF THE OTHER SIDE BE GREATER IN NUMBER BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE RIGHT. THE TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY IS A PHRASE THAT WAS TREATED TO JOHN ADAMS ONE OF OUR COUNTRY'S FOUNDING FATHERS AND SECOND PRESIDENT. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WORKED AND PAID FOR JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT IT. THAT IS WRONG. EVEN IF THEY WANT TO OUTNUMBER THOSE WHO WORKED AND PAID FOR IT. AS A COUNCIL YOU HAVE EXPRESSED A DESIRE ON MANY LOCATIONS TO PROTECT THOSE IN THE MINORITY AND OTHER SITUATIONS. WE ASK THAT YOU PROTECT OUR MINORITY EFFORTS IN THIS ONE. THE HEROES BRIDGE MEMORIAL PARK THAT WE HEARD THE PRESENTATION ABOUT IN THE WORK SESSION WHICH IS BEHIND THE HIGH DENSITY HOUSING IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GIVE PEOPLE WALKING TRAILS AND ACCESS TO THE LAKE THE CITIZENS WHO DON'T LIVE ON THE LAKE. I HEARTILY APPROVE OF THAT AND URGE THE

[00:25:01]

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU. LINDA GARBER FOLLOWED BY REGINA OH

MARTINEZ. >> SPEAKER: WE ARE HERE - I AM

SORRY. >> MAYOR: NAME AND ADDRESS FOR

THE RECORD. >> SPEAKER: LINDA GARBER, WHICH IS ALSO IN WILEY BUT THERE WAS A LETTER RECEIVED IN REGARDS TO THE EXPANSION OF THE SEWER SYSTEM ACROSS THE PROPERTY FOR IN EASEMENTS. SO, I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS BEEN GIVEN THE STAMP OF APPROVAL FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT. FOR, I BELIEVE TRAILS CREEK SUBDIVISION? WE CAN SHOW A LETTER THAT WAS RECEIVED SHOWING THIS WAS THE CITY OF ROWLETT WAS LOOKING TO EXPAND THEIR SEWER SYSTEM ACROSS THESE

PROPERTES. >> MAYOR: WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN DURING CITIZENINPUT. DO YOU HAVE

OTHER COMMENT? >> SPEAKER: WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY BECAUSE THE SEWER EXPANSION IS REALLY CLOSE TO THE COTTONWOOD CREEK GOES ACROSS TO THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS A LARGE PRIVATE POND. WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THEY DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY BEFORE THEY PUT A SEAL OF APPROVAL ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.

I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS TO CLOSE THE GATE BEHIND THEM BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT OUR ENVIRONMENT WILL SUSTAIN WITH THE GROWTH THAT HAPPENS WITH THE COTTONWOOD CREEK WHEN THEY HAVE DONE THE FURTHER SUBDIVISION AND THEY HAVE CLEARED TREES, COME UP THE CREEK DAMMING THE CREEK AND CAUSING FLOODING. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WILL IMPACT THESE HOUSES THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ON COTTONWOOD CREEK. I WANT THEM TO DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY FOR THEY DO IT AND A FEASIBILITY STUDY AS WELL BEFORE THEY CONSIDER GRANTING THIS ADDITIONAL SUBDIVISION AND RUNNING THE SEWER SYSTEM ACROSS THESE PROPERTIES RENDERING THEM IN BUILDABLE. SO, THAT IS ALL. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PART WAS BECAUSE THERE ARE BLUE HEARINGS, CRANES, HAWKS, BARN OWLS AND RETURNING DUCKS IN THESE PONDS AND THE CREEK.

THAT IS WHY I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER IT BEFORE YOU APPROVE THIS EXPANSION. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: IS THERE SOMEONE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PUT HER IN TOUCH WITH? GARY WHO IS HOLDING HIS HANDS UP WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU IN THE HALLWAY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO HIM NO. ALL RIGHT. REGINA MARTIN IS FOLLOWED BY BILL RIGHT?

>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK ARID I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC THAT LINDA TALKED

ABOUT. >> MAYOR: WAIT TO TALK TO HER

UNTIL REGINA COMES. >> SPEAKER: MY CONCERN IS THAT MAYBE IT IS JUST ME BUT WARNER GROUP ADVISORS THEY ARE KIND

OF. >> MAYOR: CAN YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? I AM SORRY.

>> SPEAKER: REGINA MARTINEZ, UNDER THE IMPRESSION AND MAYBE IT IS JUST ME THAT WARNER LAND ADVISORS, I'M SURE THEY ARE A BIG PROJECT AND I'M SURE YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND WHEN THEY SEND OUT THESE LETTERS WERE THESE CONTRACTS, THE CITY OF ROWLETT SEWER EXTENSION, IT MAKES US THINK THAT YOU GUYS ARE INVOLVED. MAYBE YOU ARE NOT. I BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT. WHEN YOU GET THESE LETTERS IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE. THIS COMPANY BEING POWERFUL, THEY HAVE DONE 21 OF THESE, I AM AGC A SMALL COMPANY AND I UNDERSTAND THE WAY IT WORKS. AND, I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS APPROVED AND OF COURSE YOU CAN'T SAY THAT BUT ARE YOU CONSIDERING IT? THE WAY THAT THE PAPERWORK AND WE TALK TO THESE FELLOWS IT IS LIKE THE SEWER IS ON BOARD AND I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT IS NOT TRUE.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK THAT GARY CAN ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM TOGETHER.

[00:30:01]

>> SPEAKER: BILL RIGHT, COORDINATOR FOR HARBORSIDE CRIME WATCH PROGRAM. ON JULY 6 I ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL ON THE SUBJECT OF SAFETY AND CRIME BETWEEN THE TRAILS OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND LAKE RAY HUBBARD. ALL OF THE CONCERNS MENTIONED IN THAT ADDRESS APPLIED TO THE NEW CAMBRIDGE HOMES DEVELOPMENT AT LAKE PARK ADJACENT TO HARBORSIDE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY OF ROWLETT IS REQUIRING THE LAKE PARK DEVELOPER TO DESIGNATE ITS LAKEFRONT PROPERTY AS TRAIL LANDS. IF THAT IS INCORRECT PLEASE ADVISE. IF IT IS CORRECT THEN WE WILL BE FACED WITH ALL THE POTENTIAL CRIME AND SAFETY ISSUES AS CONCERNED HARBORSIDE, JUST MORE OF THE SAME. CONSTRUCTION PREPARATION HAS NOW BEGUN IN THE LATE PART DEVELOPENT SO TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO RETHINK THE PARK TRAIL PLAN AT LAKE PARK TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON THAT ONE AND THEY'VE ALREADY RESHAPED YOUR HELP. YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU MR. RIGHT, DAVE HOLT FOLLOWED BY BETSY

RIGHT. >> SPEAKER: DAVE WHOLE, ADDRESS]. I AM OPPOSED TO THE BUILDING OF PUBLIC TRAILS BEHIND SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. I RECOMMEND A MORATORIUM ON ALL CAPITAL PARK PROJECT UNTIL WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT IS DEVELOPED BY THE RESIDENTS AND NOT STAFF. WITH MY PROGRAMS AT THE PARK AND AROUND NORTH TEXAS AND THE NATION I AM IN DAILY CONTACT WITH CUSTOMERS WHO ARE SOME OF THE BEST ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS AND MANAGERS OF OUR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES THAT WILLINGLY OFFER THEIR OPINIONS ON PADDLE POINT PARK AND PROJECTS MANAGED BY ROWLETT STAFF AND COUNSEL. WE POINT OUT LOST OPPORTUNITIES AND POORLY DESIGNED PROJECTS.

THIS SUNDAY I HAD A CUSTOMER THAT LIVES NEAR THE LAKEFRONT IN ROWLETT AND I ASKED HIM IF HE KNEW ABOUT THE LAKE TRAIL CONTROVERSY AND HE SAID YES. HE WAS SORRY THAT HIS NEIGHBORS WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THE TRAILS BUT HE WAS IN SUPPORT OF THE LAKE TRAILS GOING THROUGH RESIDENTS BACKYARDS BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD PLACE TO WALK HIS DOG. THERE WERE NO SIDEWALKS BY HIS HOUSE OR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO WALK HIS DOG HE HAD TO WALK AROUND IN SMALL CIRCLES. WITH THE LAKE TRAIL HE COULD WALK THROUGH ANOTHER BACKYARD AND WALK HIS DOGS THROUGH HIS NEIGHBORS BACKYARDS. COUNSEL, YOU NEED TO LEAD AND FIND A PLAN THAT BENEFITS ALL RESIDENTS. NOW YOU ARE INTRODUCING ANOTHER CONFLICT BETWEEN RESIDENTS. A 12 FOOT SLAB OF CONCRETE IN NEIGHBORS BACKYARDS IS NOT THE SOLUTION. YOU NEED TO APPROVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT BENEFITS ALL RESIDENTS. THIS PLAN NEEDS TO INCLUDE CONCRETE TRAILS, GRAVEL TRAILS, DIRT TRAILS, WALKING TRAILS, WATER TRAILS, BIKE TRAILS, OVERLOOKS, EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS, AND ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF ALL PROPERTY OWNERS. IF YOU CANNOT BUILD A PROJECT THAT INCREASES PROPERTY VALUES DO NOT BUILD THAT PROJECT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ROWLETT CITY DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BUILD THESE PROJECTS. THIS WILL GIVE THE RESIDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP TRAIL PLAN WHICH BENEFITS ALL. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU MR. HALL, BETSY WRIGHT?

>> SPEAKER: HELLO. BETSY WHITE,

HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE TRAILS. >> MAYOR: JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE PULLED THAT ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. IT WILL NOT BE ON THE AGENDA. WE PULLED THIS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AND IT WILL NOT BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

>> SPEAKER: WELL, THANKS. I WAS JUST HERE TO SAY AS A

[00:35:01]

THEY ARE AWESOME. FROM ENTERTAINING LITTLE KIDS TO THE FIRE TRUCKS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, EVERYBODY IN BETWEEN, I THINK WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AS BEST AS WE CAN. THAT'S ALL. IT'S NOT ABOUT TRAILS OR ANY OF

THAT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

>> SPEAKER: SAID YOU PULLED IT OUT?

>> MAYOR: WE PULLED IT OUT SO THAT THE RESIDENT COULD HEAR

ABOUT IT AND LEARN IT. >> SPEAKER: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M LEARNING ABOUT CITY COUNCIL .

>> MAYOR: THIS IS THE LADY WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, JUST SO YOU KNOW. [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT. I HAVE ONE EMAIL I WILL READ FROM DOCTOR STEVEN HORWITZ. THE LAKE HUBBARD TAKE AREA FAQ DOCUMENT PROVIDED BY THE CITY WHEN AN OWNER HAS US STATES SUBLEASING ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE AN AREA TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO COVER YOUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT. THIS STATEMENT SHOULD BE LAID TO REST AND

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

ITEMS INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE? >> SPEAKER: SEVEN A CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES, 7B. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 22 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.ONSIDER AND TAKE, 7C. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE FOR APPROVAL OF A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT APPLICATION. 7E. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN EXPENDITURE FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FUNDING.

AND 7F. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION REAPPOINTING BOARD MEMBERS.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILMEMBER MATT GRUBISICH?

>> COUNCILMEMBER: I MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CONSENT

AGENDA AS READ. >> MAYOR: COUNCILMEMBER MARTHA

BROWN SECOND. >> MAYOR: CALL THE VOTE. THOSE ITEMS PASSED 7-0. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO SEVEN D. CONSIDER A

[7D. Consider a resolution approving the purchase of a laser 3D scanner.]

CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO EXECUTE A PURCHASE ORDER WITH FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $103,852.66 FOR THE PURCHASE OF FARO LASER 3D SCANNER FOR THE ROWLETT POLICE DEPARTMENT. CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A

PAYMENT. >> SPEAKER: I THINK THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND I THINK THE CITIZENS NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING FOR THEIR DOLLAR. WE GIVE A PRESENTATION AND MOST OF IT IS PVIDEOS. IT'S ENTERTAINING AND THERE'S A LITTLE SOUND MOST OF THEM ARE CLIPS AND OF COURSE THERE WAS A STAFF REPORT DONE AND I CAN READ FROM THAT THAT IT IS BORING. PRESENTATION ITSELF WILL HELP. I DID BRING IN THE LIEUTENANT IN WITH ME TONIGHT AND HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE, TRAFFIC UNIT AND CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION UNIT. HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THIS ITEM BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE WILL BE USING THE EQUIVALENT AND HE IS HERE TO HELP IN CASE YOU NEED TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS ON.

TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION, THE FARO LASER SCANNER. THIS IS A SHORT VIDEO WHAT LASER SCANNING IS AND THIS IS A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THE MACHINE ITSELF AND THIS IS ESSENTIALLY SHOOTING A LASER IN EVERY DIRECTION 360 DEGREES TO COMPLETELY MAP AND RECONSTRUCT A SCENE AS A RESULT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH, AND ACCIDENT, A CRIME SCENE OR A FIRE SCENE.

AND THAT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DOES. NICE AND SIMPLE. ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE. 3D SCANNING CAPABILITIES. THIS IS A SHORT VIDEO AS WELL THAT WILL ALLOW YOU A BETTER BIRDSEYE VIEW AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT 3D ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT THIS EQUIPMENT IS CAPABLE OF DOING. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LIKE THIS BEFORE IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR FIRE DEPARTMENT SO THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WILL COME IN HANDY IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. WE CURRENTLY USE WHAT IS CALLED A TOTAL STATION WHICH ONLY

[00:40:03]

BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE BEFORE. >> MAYOR: YOU JUST TAKE IT TO THE SCENE AND START SHOOTING? SORRY IT SOUNDS STUPID.

>> SPEAKER: YES MA'AM, THAT'S EXACTLY IT. ONE PERSON, ONE STAFF CAN SET THE MACHINE UP, SET THE PARAMETERS AND LOCATION AND IT JUST SIMPLY TAKES A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING. UP, DOWN, LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS WHO CAN BENEFIT. THIS PURCHASE IS THROUGH FUNDS GENERATED BY THE COMMERCIAL DRIVER UNIT WHICH IS SELF SUSTAINABLE THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT WE DO NEED TO USE SO OUR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE UNIT CAN USE THIS TO RECONSTRUCT ACCIDENTS INVOLVING COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES, HEAVY TRUCKS AND ANYTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE BUT WE CAN ALSO USE IN OUR TRAFFIC DIVISION, PATROL DIVISION, TOTALITY TYPE ACCIDENTS THAT WE HAVE OCCASIONALLY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND USE IT FOR ANY TYPE OF INVESTIGATION REGARDING ARSON SCENES, IT TAKES A 3D PICKED HER SO GIVES A MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE FIRE AND DOES A WHOLE LOT FASTER THAN ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE PAST. WE CAN FIND OTHER USES IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS BUT IT WILL REALLY HELP IN REDESIGNING OR RECONSTRUCTING AN AREA. WHAT CAN THE 3D MODEL BE USED FOR? THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A COUPLE. IT PROVIDES A PICTURE OF AN OFFICER, SUSPECT OR WITNESS. IT IS A 3D PICTURE AS I SAID BEFORE. THERE'S NO GREAT AREA, IT PAINTS A PICTURE LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND THIS WILL ALLOW A JURY TO FLY THROUGH THE CRIME SCENE WITHOUT LEAVING THE COURTROOM. THERE ARE A LOT OF CRIME SCENE CASES WHERE THE PROSECUTION WILL HAVE TO SET UP A MOCK CRIME SCENE OR THEY WILL HAVE TO GO WALK THROUGH A ROOM AND SET UP DIORAMAS AND GO THROUGH THE EXTENT OF EVEN BUILDING THINGS AT TIME AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THE 3D MODEL IS THERE IN THE SOFTWARE CAN PRESERVE THE SCENE AS IT WAS ON THAT DAY. THIS MACHINE AND THIS EQUIPMENT IS PRETTY EASY TO USE ONCE YOU ARE TRAINED AND IT WORKS SO EFFICIENTLY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK MUCH LIKE WE DO NOW.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SHUT DOWN A ROADWAY OR A STREET OR SECURE A HOME OR A BUSINESS FOUR DAYS WHILE WE GET WHAT WE REALLY NEED FROM THE SCENE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE.

THESE ARE THE NUMBER OF FARO USERS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

WE HAVE OFTEN CALLED ON THE GARLAND DEPARTMENT TO BORROW THEIR LASER SCANNER BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MEANS AND THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SO FAR AHEAD IN ADVANCE OF WHAT WE CURRENTL USE AND GARLAND HAS PROVIDED US WITH ALL THE PICTURES, VIDEO AND EQUIPMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION THAT WE NEED.

IT IS IN WIDE USE ACROSS TEXAS AND THERE'S A WIDE SUPPORT ACROSS OTHER AGENCIES AND THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE IT OR CAN DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO HELP US OUT. MEASURING, AN AVERAGE SCENE CAN BE DONE IN ONE MINUTE 40 SECONDS. THESE ARE SCENES THAT WOULD TAKE US HOURS IN THE PAST. A FEW BENEFITS WOULD INCLUDE, WE ARE ABLE TO REDUCE A LITTLE RISK, WE ONLY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN TRAFFIC FOR A NUMBER OF MINUTE MAYBE HOURS AND DAYS. WE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON I 30 AND ALL THAT TRAFFIC IS PUSHED ONTO I 36 IN ROWLETT AND IT CAUSES TRAFFIC FOR HOURS IF NOT DAYS AND IT WOULD HELP US CLEAR THE SCENE AND IT IS EXTREMELY EFFICIENT. IT'S ACCURACY, THERE IS NO COMPARISON. IT ONLY TAKES ONE INDIVIDUAL TO MANAGE THIS AND TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT. WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE AN OFFICER SHUT DOWN THE SCENE AND THE ROAD TO MAKE IT SAFE THAT WE WON'T HAVE HAVE DOESN'T INDIVIDUALS CHANGING THE SHOTS, MOVING THINGS OVER AND TAKING ANOTHER SHOT AND OF COURSE PRESERVATION OF THE SCENE. WE DON'T MISS THIS. WE DON'T FORGET A PICTURE OR MISS A PIECE OF EVIDENCE HAVE TO GO BACK LATER AND TRIED TO CATCH IT. WE ARE ABLE TO DO IT IN

[00:45:02]

ANGLES? >> IT IS USEFUL TO USE 3D

[00:50:04]

ABOUT TRAJECTORIES AND ANGLES. >> IS LIKE RINGING A KILLING TO

LIFE? >> BRINGING IT INTO THE COURTROOM AND ALLOWING THE JURORS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT LOWER PART OF THE T-SHIRT AND THE LEFT SIDE IS WHERE THE FAMOUS AREA 30 IS WHERE ALL OF THE TINY BLOOD DROPS WERE. BOTTOM LINE, WHO DO YOU BELIEVE

SHOT THESE THREE PEOPLE? >> THE BOTTOM LINE IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS TRAJECTORY AND YOU PUT THE SHOOTER BACK INTO THE MOST LOGICAL POSITION THAT LINES UP WITH THIS EVIDENCE, IT YOU CANNOT GET THIS SPATTER ON AREA 30. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO AND IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT THE BLOOD ON AREA 30 WAS FROM TRANSFER AND NOT FROM A SHOT BY DAVID KEN.

>> THAT IS NOT WHAT POLICE SAY THE POLICE SAY HE WAS STANDING HERE LIKE THIS. AND HE SHOOTS JILL AND IF HE IS STANDING SLIGHTLY FORWARD HE DOES EXPOSE THAT SIDE OF HIS SHIRT.

>> WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS GET YOUR LEFT SIDE IN AN EXPOSED AND WHEN YOU DO THAT IF YOU TRIED TO GET YOUR HAND TO DO THE TRAJECTORY IS A VERY AWKWARD POSITION IS NOT A NATURAL SHOOTING POSITION AND CERTAINLY NOT LOGICAL. THE EXAMPLE I USE IS IF YOU WANT TO GET SOME MILK OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR AND YOU ARE RIGHT-HANDED YOU COULD REACH IN WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SHOULDER YOU CAN REACH IN AND PULL IT OUT YOU WOULDN'T REACH IN SIDEWAYS TO THE REFRIGERATOR, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

>> FROM THIS CASE YOU THINK THIS BULLET WAS FIRED ON A 30 DEGREE ANGLE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF WHERE THE

SHOOTER WOULD HAVE TO BE? >> IT MEANS THAT THERE WAS ONLY A PRACTICAL SHOOTING DISTANCE OF TWO FEET. AND BECAUSE THIS WAS A SHOT THAT WAS FIRED RELATIVELY CLOSE THE HAND HAS TO BE DOWN CLOSER THIS WAY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DO IT IF YOU ARE TRYING O STAND YOUR LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH YOUR HAND OVER AND TRYING TO CROSS OVER YOUR BODY, IT IS

DIFFICULT. >> DO YOU BELIEVE THAT DAVID CAMP SHOT HIS WIFE AND TWO KIDS?

>> NO, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT DAVID CAMP SHOT THEM.

>> NEXT UP, THESE ARE A FEW PICTURES FROM THE STATE DAVID CAMP INCIDENT. THEY WERE ABLE TO PROVE HIM NOT GUILTY. THIS IS THE LAST SLIDE IN THE DECK AND IT IS ABOUT A FIVE MINUTE OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE EQUIPMENT CAN DO. AFTER THAT WE ARE READY FOR QUESTIONS. I GUESS WE ARE ALL READY TO PURCHASE THIS? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT IS IT THAT THE LIEUTENANT

CAN ANSWER FOR YOU? >> MAYOR: I THINK YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PROFESSION. YOUR LEVEL OF DETAIL OR MAYBE IT IS

THE RIGHT PROFESSION? >> SPEAKER: IS NOT MY STME, IT'

MY STAFF. >> MAYOR: SO DIFFERENT FROM YOUR PREDECESSOR. COUNSEL ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE WE DOING A MOTION? GO AHEAD, COUNCILMEMBER BROWNIE SHERRILL?

>> COUNCILMEMBER: THE PICTURES THAT YOU SHOWED MAINLY OF THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP, THEY, YOU COUD LOOK THROUGH THE CAR AND SEE THROUGH THE CAR AND EVERYTHING. YOUR PICTURES COME OUT THAT WAY ON THIS CAMERA? IT TAKES EVERYTHING IN?

>> SPEAKER: I DO BELIEVE SO BECAUSE THEY ARE IN 3D

EVERYTHING IS SCANNED IN 3D. >> SPEAKER: YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE CAR AND THE TIRE IN THE SEATS, EVERYTHING.

[INDISCERNABLE] >> MAYOR: CAN YOU GO TO THE

MICROPHONE? [LAUGHTER] >> SPEAKER: WHEN TO COMPLETE THE SCAN YOU DO IT INTO THE SOFTWARE AND ONCE IT IS IN THE SOFTWARE YOU CAN PUT IN LAYERS AND YOU CAN TAKE LAYERS AWAY.

IT ALSO MEANS THAT YOU CAN TURN THE WHOLE CAR OR TURN THE BUILDING AND SO IF YOU WANT TO SAY THAT SOMEONE SHOT INTO THE BUILDING IT CAN ACTUALLY GO FROM A DRONE AND SEE IF THAT PROJECTILE ACTUALLY DID THAT. YOU ARE ABLE TO CUT THE LAYERS OUT AND TAKE EACH LAYER AND PLACE IT BACK ON TOP AT ANY TIME. YOU CAN DO THAT AND ONCE IT'S IN THE SOFTWARE IT'S NOT AN ACTUAL FINISHED PRODUCTS BUT ONCE YOU CAN PUT INTO EVIDENCE YOU CAN REMOVE THE LAYERS TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT. WHAT THAT MEANS IS WHEN ROOMS CONNECT AND YOU WANT TO SEE HOW PEOPLE GOT THERE OR WALK THERE CAN ACTUALLY CONNECT ROOMS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY

ANSWER. >> COUNCILMEMBER: THANK YOU,

THAT IS COOL. >> MAYOR: COUNCILMEMBER MARTHA

BROWN? >> COUNCILMEMBER: I WANT TO SAY THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL. IT IS THE BEST OF TECHNOLOGY AND WHAT IS EVEN BETTER ABOUT IT IS THAT IT IS FUNDED THROUGH YOUR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE FUNDS AND SO WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR AND I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO DO THE PRESENTATION. I WAS SOLD ON IT JUST IN LOOKING AT THE PACKET AND THE INFORMATION AND APPRECIATED ALL OF THE DETAIL THAT WAS IN THERE AND ACTUALLY ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD PERTAINING TO IT. THIS PRESENTATION REALLY BRINGS IT TO LIFE. AND, I AM EXCITED FOR OUR CITY TO HAVE THIS TOOL TO BE ABLE TO USE. I THINK THAT IT IS GOING TO PROVIDE DETAIL AND ACCURACY THAT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE HAD ACCESS TO BEFORE WITHOUT HELP. I THINK IT IS A GREAT INVESTMENT.

>> MAYOR: DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> COUNCILMEMBER: I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS ITEM.

>> MAYOR: COUNCILMEMBER BROWNIE SHERRILL?

>> COUNCILMEMBER: I WOULD LIKE TO SET. ANY OTHER FURTHER CONVERSATION? IT'S CALL THE VOTE AND THAT ITEM PASSES 7-0.

TAKE YOU GENTLEMEN FOR BEING HERE.

[8A. Conduct the first of two public hearings to consider administrative amendments to the City of Rowlett Home Rule Charter.]

>> SPEAKER: I APPRECIATE IT. >> MAYOR: LET'S MOVE TO ITEM CONDUCT THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC EIGHT HEARINGS TO CONSIDER ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENTS TO A THE CITY OF ROWLETT HOME RULE CHARTER. MISSED HOMEWORK?

>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU COUNSEL, I AM LAURA HALLMARK CITY SECRETARY AND I'M HERE IN THE BASTILLE AS CITY SECRETARY AND KEEPER OF THE CHARTER AS WELL AS THE STAFF LIAISON FOR THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION WHICH WAS APPOINTED BY CITY COUNCIL IN 2020 AND SUBSEQUENT CONSIDERATIONS WERE VOTED ON IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. THERE WERE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS THAT DID NOT REQUIRE A VOTE OF THE RESIDENCE AND ARE BEING PRESENTED HERE TODAY FOR CONSIDERATION. SO, THE CHARTER ALLOWS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT TO KEEP IN LINE STATE LAW OR FOR ANY NON- SUBSTITUTE CHANGES TO THIS AMENDMENT PROCEDURE WAS APPROVED BY 83 PERCENT OF THE VOTERS AS PROPOSITION THREE IN THE 2013 CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTION.

THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING UP DATE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION. THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION WAS TO CHANGE THE DATE REFERENCE FOR FILING TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL. 75TH DAY REFERENCE WAS OUTDATED AND RECOMMENDED TO BE CHANGED TO THE 78TH DAY. HOWEVER, THE 78TH DAY IS THE ACTUAL DEADLINE FOR FILING. SINCE STATE LAW PROVIDES A 30 DAY WINDOW FOR FILING APPLICATIONS THE 108TH DAY IS THE BEGINNING OF THE FILING TIME FOR GENERAL ELECTION AND THE EARLIEST DAY A NOMINATING POSITION CAN BE FILED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CHANGING IT TO THE 108 DAY IS A SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE AND CANNOT BE DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY. THE CANDIDATES VALID APPLICATION MUST BE FILED WITHIN THE TIME SET BY STATE LAW AND STATE LAW ITSELF WOULD SUPERSEDE THE CHARTER PROVISIONS INACCURATE DEADLINE. ADDITIONALLY THE CITY SECRETARY OFFICE PROVIDES THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION FOR EACH ELECTION CYCLE. THIS CHANGE WILL BE KEPT ON FILE FOR THE NEXT CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION TO CONSIDER AND THIS ITEM TONIGHT IS TO CONSIDER THE OTHER TWO RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMMISSION. THIS ITEM REMOVES SPECIFICITY OF DAYS AND BRINGS IT MORE IN LINE WITH STATE LAW. WE REMOVE THE PHRASE NO LONGER WITHIN 15 DAYS OF THE VOTE AND SO THEIR ASCENDANCE WOULD READ SUCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW. THE NEXT RECOMMENDATION IS TO REMOVE AN EXTRA WORD IN THE SENTENCE TO CORRECT THE FLOW OF THE SENTENCE. AND AGAIN, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED THIS EVENING FOR THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING WITH ACTION IS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON

AUGUST 3. >> MAYOR: THIS IS A PUBLIC
