[6. CITIZENS’ INPUT]

WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 6 WHICH IS THE CITIZENS AND PUT A TIME DURING THE MEETING WHERE RESIDENTS OR ANYONE CAN GIVE UP TO THREE MINUTES OF COMMENT ON ANY TOPIC AND NO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN I COUNSEL DURING CITIZEN INPUT. WE HAVE TWO CITIZEN INPUT REQUEST TONIGHT FIRST ONE IS STEPHEN HOROWITZ APPEARED WOULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD

AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> SPEAKER: STEVE HORWITZ.THERE'S NO BETTER DAY THAN TODAY TO PROVIDE COVID CARE INFORMATION TO OUR ROWLETT COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT NOT ONE MAYOR SPOTLIGHT NOR FRIDAY AT FIVE HAS DONE SO.

BUT THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS EARLY TREATMENT GUIDE NDF LCC COVID GUIDE HAVE BEEN EMAILED TO THE MAYOR AND ALL COUNCILMEMBERS. LINKS TO THESE GUIDES CAN BE PLACED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL IF EVERYBODY KNEW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VITAMIN D, ITEM AND SEE, ZINC, WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF EVERY DOCTOR IN ROWLETT TESTED FOR VITAMIND LEVELS WHICH ARE DIRECTLY TIED TO HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH RATE. ONLY VACCINE INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROMOTED BY THE CITY FOR THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE STATED MANY TIMES THAT ROWLETT IS FOR THE VACCINE. CITY EMPLOYEES ARE FINANCIALLY INCENTIVIZED TO GET THE VACCINE WHICH IS A FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF PROPER MEDICAL INFORMED INTENTS. OUR CITIZENS RECEIVING INFORMED INTENT? THE INFORMED PROCESS FOR ONGOING COVID-19 VACCINE TRIALS DOES NOT APPEAR TO MEET THE STANDARD FOR THE VACCINE DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMUNITY AND IS LESS EFFECTIVE THAN NATURAL IMMUNITY THOSE WHO HAVE HAD COVID. THERE ARE 102 STUDIES AFFIRMING THE FACT AND IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE WON'T GET IT AND IT DOES NOT STOP YOU FROM PASSING IT ON TO OTHERS AND THE VIRAL LOAD IS AT LEAST AS HIGH IN VACCINATED PERSONS AS THOSE UNVACCINATED. IT DOES NOT PREVENT HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH AS PER WHISTLEBLOWER DATA. A SEPTEMBER 2021 PAPER AND TOXICOLOGY REPORT STATES THERE ARE FIVE TIMES THE NUMBER OF DEATHS WHICH ARE ROUTABLE TO EACH INOCULATION VERSUS THOSE ATTRIBUTABLE FOR COVID-19 AND THE VULNERABLE 65+ DEMOGRAPHIC AND ONE OF THE SCARIEST COMMENTS WAS MADE LAST WEEK AT THE FDA HEARING FOR VACCINE FOR CHILDREN FROM DOCTOR ERIC RUBEN THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE AIRED WE WILL NEVER LEARN HOW SAFE THE VACCINE IS UNTIL WE START GIVING IT. WHAT HAPPENED TO FIRST DO NO HARM: A MEDICAL

[00:25:02]

CONSORTIUM HAS FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FDA BECAUSE OF THEIR REFUSAL TO USE THE DATA USED TO LICENSE THE VACCINE. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? TODAY IT WHISTLEBLOWER A TRAINED CLINICAL TRIAL AUDITOR DOCUMENTED THAT DURING CRIMINAL TRIAL THE FALSIFIED DATA IN A IN A UNTRAINED VACCINATED IN THE MAYOR SUGGESTED THAT MASKS BE WORN AND IN AN AUGUST ISHED INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH FOUND NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MASS MANDATE OR USE AND REDUCED COVID-19 SPREAD IN THE UNITED STATES. PLEASE STOP MISINFORMING ROWLETT CITIZENS.

REFERENCES FOR ALL THESE STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: OUR SECOND SPEAKER IS DEBORAH SCHINDLER.

>> SPEAKER: DEBORAH'S GENDER.KNOW YOU MISSED ME LAST TIME .[LAUGHTER] I WANTED TO SAY IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL SITTING CLOSE TOGETHER AGAIN AND OUT FROM BEHIND YOUR PLEXIGLAS CAGES WHICH MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS VISITING YOU IN PRISON OR SOME THING. I LIKE SEEING YOUR SMILEY FACES WITHOUT THE BARRIERS. I WANTED TO TALK TODAY ABOUT WHAT TODAY IS, ELECTION DAY. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NO CITY ISSUES OR CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT IN ROWLETT OR THE DALLAS COUNTY PORTION OF ROWLETT TODAY I WANT TO THANK OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR THE PART YOU PLAY IN THE ELECTION PROCESS. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE BOND ELECTIONS GOING ON IN OTHER CITIES BUT HERE IN THE DALLAS COUNTY PART OF ROWLETT IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. THE EIGHT PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION THAT WE WERE VOTING FOR OR AGAINST TODAY. I WONDER HOW MANY OF THE VOTERS KNOW THAT TEXAS HAS THE LONGEST STATE CONSTITUTION IN THE COUNTRY. IT'S NO SURPRISE I GUESS BECAUSE WE DO EVERYTHING BIGGER HERE. I FIND IT FASCINATING THAT OUR CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN AMENDED MORE THAN 500 TIMES IN ONE OF 76 YEARS TO STATEHOOD CONTRAST THAT WITH 27 AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, TUNA 45 YEARS.

NO ONE CAN ACCUSE US TEXANS OF BEING AFRAID OF CHANGE AT LEAST IN THAT REGARD. OF COURSE THE PROCESSES ARE DIFFERENT FOUNDING FATHERS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MODIFY OUR NATIONAL CONSTITUTION AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. ON THE OTHER THINGHAND CHANGING THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION REQUIRES IT BE PUT TO A VOTE OF WE THE PEOPLE ANYTHING THAT IS ALSO A GOOD THING FOR THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS STATE CONSTITUTIONS AND DATE THE CHARTERS PROVIDE THE FRAMEWORK ON WHICH OUR GOVERNMENTS OPERATE IN THE CONTENT OF THOSE DOCUMENTS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT. IT SEEMS THAT NOT ONLY ONE RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THOSE DOCUMENTS THAT DEFINE THE RULES TO WHICH THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES ARE OBLIGATED TO ADHERE. I HEARD THIS REFERRED TO TODAY AS ONLY A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ELECTION WITH APPARENT DISAPPOINTMENT THAT NOBODY IS RUNNING. WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THE FINAL NUMBERS ON HOW MANY ROWLETT RESIDENTS ACTUALLY VOTED IN THIS ELECTION. IT SEEMS THAT FOLKS GET EXCITED ABOUT VOTING FOR OR AGAINST CANDIDATE AS OPPOSED TO EFFETE PROPOSITIONS AND MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE DECIDING MERIT AN ISSUE IS HARDER THAN TAKING A PERSON TO VOTE FOR. TOO OFTEN VOTERS CHOOSE THE LATTER BASED ON LOOKS OR PERSONALITY OR PARTISAN AFFILIATIONS. IT REQUIRES RESEARCHING AND UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX ISSUES. I VOTED TODAY IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED MINUTES IN OPPOSITION TO OTHERS. I WISH MORE CITIZENS WOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, CHARTER CHANGES AND BOND ISSUES AS THEY DO FOR THE PEOPLE RUNNING FOR OFFICE. ELECTED OFFICIALS SUCH AS

OURSELVES ARE ?. >> MAYOR: SORRY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME

>>> A BACKGROUND ON THE SITE THE BUILDING IS APPROXIMATELY 22,000 SQUARE FEET. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 5300 IN CHANGE SQUARE FEET OF ACCESSORY BUILDINGS WHICH ARE ALL BEING USED FOR THE RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATED USES THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT. SO THE APPLICANT WOULD BE USING A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY WHICH DOES HAVE A PLAYGROUND ON THE OUTSIDE WHICH HAS BEEN INCORPORATING INTO THIS PROPOSED SEP. AND THEN ALSO THERE WOULD BE TWO CLASSROOMS UTILIZED WITHIN THE CHURCH FOR APPROXIMATELY NO MORE THAN 30 STUDENTS DURING THE HOURS OF 9 AM TO 2 PM DURING THE WEEK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS SITE WOULD NOT BE ALTERED IN THE WAY OF PARKING OR CIRCULATION AS WHAT IT CURRENTLY IS. THE DISTINCT PARKING LAYOUT, BUILDING LAYOUT WOULD BE WHAT WOULD BE USED TO OPERATE FOR CHILD CARE. A BIT MORE ON THE DETAILS OF WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED, THIS SLIDE DOES REFLECT THE PROPOSED INTERIOR CONFIGURATION AS THE APPLICANT INITIALLY BROUGHT IT FORWARD TO US. THERE WOULD BE TWO CLASSROOMS OF APPROXIMATELY 280 SQUARE FEET. 30 STUDENTS MAXIMUM THERE WOULD BE TWO POINTS OF ACCESS FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR PARENT PICKUP, DROP OFF UP THERE AND THEN THE SECOND ACCESS THAT WOULD BE USED BY THE PRESCHOOL WOULD BE FOR THE PLAYGROUND EXIT ON THE REAR OF THE BUILDING. AGAIN, YOU CAN ALSO SEE THERE IS INTERNAL CIRCULATION BETWEEN THOSE CLASSROOMS. THE PORTION OF THE SITE PLAN OVERALL PLAN SHOWS 42 PARKING STALLS WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY FITTING THE BUILDING AND THERE ARE RESCUE FACILITIES AND THE PLAYGROUND WHICH IS OVER AND THAT PART OF THE SITE. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THEIR OCTOBER 12 2021 MEETING COMMITTED THE APPROVAL OF THE SEP WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS PAID THE APPLICANT HAD ROCKED FORWARD IN THE COMMISSION HAD ASKED AS WELL IF THERE WERE PLANS TO EXPAND THIS USE SHOULD IT BE PROVED AND SUCCESSFUL IN THE CONVERSATION RESULTED IN CONDITION RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING AND
