NEXT COMMENT? >> THIS IS RICHARD PALKO@'S. >> .

>> GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS RICHARD PALO IT'S. I AM A CITIZEN AND RESIDENT OF ROWLETT. WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS UPDATE PEOPLE AS FAR AS WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAVE HANDED OUT TO YOU SOME PICTURES THAT I HAVE.

THE ONLY THING I WILL REALLY GO THROUGH IS THE HISTORY. REALLY WHAT IMPACTED THE SHORELINE WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF HERITAGE ON THE LAKE PHASE 1. PHASE 1 WAS PLATTED IN 1993 SO THAT WAS SEVEN YEARS AFTER WATERFRONT CARRIAGE HOMES WERE BUILT.

SEVERAL THINGS HAPPEN. ONE THING THEY INSTALLED WERE STORM DRAINS.

THEY DRAIN THROUGH AN EASEMENT ON OUR PROPERTY IN THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

WHAT THEY FOUND WAS THE INCREASE IN WATER FLOW AND VOLUME DUE TO DEVELOPMENT AND THE LOSS OF OPEN AREAS WHERE WATER COULD PERCOLATE TO THE GROUND.

AS DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSED WE WERE GETTING MORE AND MORE RUNOFF.

THE FIRST HOME WAS BUILT IN 95 AND IT CONTINUED UNTIL EARLY 2000.

THE INCREASE VOLUME OF RUNOFF FROM PHASE 1 WAS INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY.

ONE THING THAT WAS NOTED BY THE CITY OF ROWLETT OR THE DEVELOPER IS THERE WAS EXTENSIVE EROSION AT THE END OF THAT SHORELINE. THEY PUT THEM IN AND THEY PUT ROCKS. WE STILL SEE EXTENSIVE ACCELERATED EROSION.

ONE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE THE LAST TIME I TALKED AND I SENT YOU AN EMAIL ABOUT IT YOU COULD

[00:40:09]

LEASE THE PROPERTY. IT'S NOT ONLY IMPACTING OUR PROPERTY IT'S IMPACTING TUMOR PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH OF OUR PROPERTY. YOU'LL SEE A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE AREAS SO IT'S NOT A SMALL PROBLEM. IT'S A PROBLEM THAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE LAKE. IT'S A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS T BE ADDRESSED.

I TALKED TO DALE JACKSON WHEN HE WAS HERE AND HE SET UP A MEETING FOR NOVEMBER 1 WHAT THE

DALLAS WATER UTILITIES. >> THE NEXT COMMENT. >> CATHERINE PRO.

>> PLEASE COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> FORGIVE ME I FORGOT TO PRINT IT OFF SO AFTER READ IT FROM MY PHONE. EXHIBIT 24 IS SELF-EXPLANATORY I'M TALKING ABOUT THE 88 DOCK AT THE PARK. EXIT 25 IS THE NONEXISTENT PERIMETER. AS IT STANDS THE ABSENCE OF BOUNDARIES IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITHOUT A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE DOCK AND THE WATER WITH INDIVIDUALS IN WHEELCHAIRS AND MOBILITY ISSUES ARE AT RISK OF ROLLING OR FALLING INTO THE WATER.

THIS IS NOT JUST A POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT IS A REALITY THAT HAS LED TO NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS. THERE IS NO CLEAR BOUNDARIES AND IT BECOMES A CHALLENGING RISK OFTEN REQUIRING UP TO FOUR PEOPLE. THIS IS UNNECESSARY BURDEN THAT CAN AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED. THERE IS DIFFICULTY IN TRANSITION.

IT IS EASIER TO LAUNCH FROM THE ORIGINAL LAUNCH SITE ON THE SHORELINE .

THE VERY STRUCTURE INTENDED TO IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY HAS BECOME AN HINDRANCE.

THE FACT THAT IT OFTEN REQUIRES TO PEOPLE TO HELP PEOPLE INTO A BOAT IS A TESTAMENT TO THIS.

THE DIFFICULTY NOT ONLY DISCOURAGES MANY BUT CREATES A SENSE OF EXCLUSION.

THIS STARTS BY MAKING A TRANSITION FROM THE DOCK TO THE BOAT AND AN EFFORTLESS TASK RATHER THAN A CHORE. VETERANS HAVE FOUGHT HARD ENOUGH AND THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT TO ENJOY A DAY ON THE WATER. THIS SHOULD BE A GATEWAY TO RELAXATION ENJOYMENT AND NOT A BARRIER. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS NEEDS A REVAMP. OUR VETERANS ALONG WITH OTHERS WITH MOBILITY ISSUES DESERVE A DOG THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR SERVICE AND NEEDS. THE SOLUTION STARTS WITH THE PERIMETER AND THE SIMPLE ADDITION CAN IMPROVE SAFETY AND EASE OF USE.

IT GIVES A CLEAR BOUNDARY REDUCING THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS AND ALSO MAKES IT EASIER FOR THOSE ASSISTINGINDIVIDUALS TO VOTE . WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE DOCK IS DESIGNED FOR EFFORTLESS TRANSITION WHICH CAN INCLUDE INSTALLING SYSTEMS TO AID THE TRANSITION OR RECONFIGURING THE DOCK TO MAKE IT MORE WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY.

IT IS A SMALL GESTURE BUT ONE THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. ALSO THE NEXT THING I TALK ABOUT ARE THE EXHIBITS ON THERE. WE RAN INTO TWO YOUNG TEENAGERS LAST WEEK AT PADDLE POINT PARK. THEY WERE FRIGHTENED BY THE OFFICERS AND WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE DID A TEAM CLEANUP AND WE PICKED UP FIVE TRAILER FOLDS

AND YOU SEE THEPICTURES ON THE EXHIBITS PASSED AROUND . >> NEXT SPEAKER?

[00:45:19]

>> DAVE HALL. KAREN NUNEZ AND KIM SMITH. >> DAVE HALL AND ROWLETT.

TO CONTINUE WITH THE STOCKPILE PERMIT ISSUED THREE YEARS AGO BY THE LUXURY LAKESIDE DEVELOPMENT EXHIBIT 1. FIRST THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIX AND ONE SLOPE ON A ONE TO ONE SLOPE. SECOND THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE WITH 3 TO 5 INCHES TO PREVENT DIRT FROM EXITING WITH THE TRUCKS INTO THE BALLOT STREET. THIRD THERE WAS SUPPOSED BE A BOND TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AND THE VIOLATIONS LEFT BEHIND BY THE DEVELOPER. FOR, HOW LONG DOES A TEMPORARY STOCKPILE PERMIT EXTEND FOR THREE YEARS. I RECEIVED WRITTEN ASSURANCES FROM ROWLETT THAT THERE WERE NO SUCH OUTSTANDING VIOLATIONS WITH THIS PROPERTY.

STAFF EXPLAINS THIS WITH MISLEADING STATEMENTS ON THE HEAD AND RELEVANT INFORMATION FROM COUNSEL. MISLEADING STATEMENTS WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU UNTIL YOU

CORRECT THOSE STATEMENTS. THEY REPRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD WITH BROKEN ANKLES.>> EXHIBITS 15 AND 16 DOCUMENT COMMERCIAL OPERATIONSCONDUCTING BUSINESS .

IT'S NEXT TO THE $3000 ENGLISH SIGN.OT ONE PERSON IS WEARING THE US COAST GUARD APPROVED LIFEJACKET IN THE LUNCH AREA IS BEING BLOCKED BY NON-PANEL SPORTS ACTIVITIES.

EXHIBIT 22 DOCUMENTS THE ONLY EFFECTIVE USE OF THE LOADING STEPS ON THE ROW THAT PANEL PARK ADA. IT'S A PREEMINENT ORGANIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND KNOWN FOR TREATING DISABILITIES AND INJURIES. THANK YOU NEXT SPEAKER?

>> GOOD EVENING I AM A RELATIVE CITIZEN. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US COME AND BRING TO YOU SOME CHAIRS AND SOME CONCERNS. FIRST I WILL START WITH THE CHEERS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING THIS A START.

[00:50:12]

IT IS REALLY SAFE AND SECURE FOR THEM. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE PLACES WHERE THE TURF WAS TORN, PULLED UP, DOES TYPES OF THINGS THEY WILL GO AND DO A WHOLE INSPECTION ON THAT. THEY TAKE THAT DOWN TO FIX AND RECOVER THAT AREA.

THE SOONER THEY COME THE BETTER AND IF THE DOG SEES A WEAK SPOT IT TAKES TWO MINUTES TO HAVE IT DESTROYED. THE SOONER WE CANNOT DO BETTER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE KENNEL COVERS ARE COMING AND THERE'S A LITTLE CONFUSION WHETHER IT'S JUST THE NEW ONES OR ALL OF THE KENNELS.AYBE SOMEONE CAN TOUCH BASE WITH THE SHELTER THIS WEEK AND LET THEM KNOW.

ARE THEY EXPECTING THREE OR 25? THEY ARE NOT QUITE SURE ABOUT THAT.

THANK YOU FOR STEPPING ON IT. I THINK THE THOUGHT OF YOU HAVING TO GO AND REPAIR THAT FENCE LIKE YOU SAID MIGHT BE LITTLE MOTIVATIONAL I DON'T KNOW.

WE DO APPRECIATE YOU GETTING ON THE AND TAKING CARE OF THIS. YOU WILL STILL SEE GATES HELD TOGETHER WITH COLORS BECAUSE WHAT IT IS IS OLD GATES AND DOORS AND THE FENCING IS SO LOOSE THAT THE DOG PUSHES AND PUSHES UNTIL THEY CAN PUSH THAT GATE THE SLIDE.

THEY DO THEIR SHOULDERS AND BEFORE YOU KNOWTHEY ARE OUT . THAT'S ONE OF THE AREAS THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I'M GONNA ASK YOU A QUESTION. DID ANYBODY STOP BY OR EMAIL THEM? IF HE SAID WE APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK YOU'RE DOING THIS

WEEK AND DURING THIS TRANSITION BECAUSE IT'S HARD? >> NEXT SPEAKER?

>> AND KEVIN SMITH 617 HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OVER 30 YEARS. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ANIMAL SHELTER MANAGER MORE. I ALSO WANT TO PLUG MY CANCER DEAL.

GET YOUR HEALTH SCREENING IF I CAN HELP SAVE LIVES IT'S WORTH IT.

DID YOU KNOW THAT AROUND 75% OF EMPLOYEES OF SHELTERS LAST AROUND TWO YEARS? DID YOU NEED THE JOB TODAY TAKES THE TOP SPOT FOR SUICIDE? DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A CRISIS IN AMERICA AND SHELTERS TODAY YOU JUST HAVE TO GOOGLE AT 2023.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? TROUBLE FILLING THE POSITION IS NUMBER ONE.

NOW WE FIRED A GREAT MANAGER WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET IT FILLED? WE ARE SHORT STAFFED AND WE ARE IN THE MOST STRESSFUL POSITION OF THE CITY.

TOO MUCH STRESS FOR THE EMPLOYEES, THE VET BILLS ARE RUNNING TOO HIGH THAT'S ACROSS AMERICA FRIENDS. SEE WHAT ELSE WE HAVE HERE. DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO TERMS USED FOR SHELTER EMPLOYEES? THINGS LIKE COMPASSION FATIGUE.

AS WE SAID A TALK ABOUT THE STRESS THAT THEY GO THROUGH NOW WE ADD THE STRESS OF A MAN WHO'S BEEN WITH US EIGHT YEARS WHO EVERYBODY LOVES. HE DID A GREAT JOB FOR US AND WE CONTINUE TO ASK MR. HOW BEING THE NEW CITY MANAGER TO JUST SIT WITH ASHER AND VISIT.

WORK WITH HIM AND MAKE THIS CITY GREAT BY WORKING TOGETHER. I KNOW HE DOES A MILLION THING RIGHT BUT NO AND IS PERFECT. MAYBE HE DOES A COUPLE THINGS THAT YOU WEREN'T HAPPY WITH .

[00:55:03]

HE HAS CHANGED SO MANY LIVES IN THE CITY. ONE THING ABOUT ROWLETT AND THE THIRTYSOMETHING YEARS HAVE BEEN HERE AS I'VE ALWAYS SAID THANK GOD WE HAVE A GREAT SHELTER STAFF. THEY JUST HAVE RAVING REVIEWS AND COME UP ITH THIS IS BEYOND ANYTHING.WHETHER HE AND HIS FAMILY DECIDE TO PURSUE A CITY THAT'S UP TO THEM.

WHAT REPRESENTATION ARE WE GIVING THE CITY AROUND THAT IF WE GIVE AN EIGHT YEAR EMPLOYEE WITH GREAT REVIEWS AND WALK-IN AND FIRE THEM? PUT THEM ON A PRELIMINARY THING

FOR 90 DAYS. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS?

[5. CONSENT AGENDA]

>> NO AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ONLINE. >> WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. THE FOLLOWING WILL BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

WE MAY REQUEST ITEMS BE REMOVED FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR CONSIDERATION.

WOULD YOU PLEASE READ THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS INTO THE RECORD? DOES ANYBODY WISH TO PULL AN ITEM FROM ME CONSENT AGENDA? ASK ITEM 5 A CONSIDER ACTION APPROVING THE MINUTES. 5B IS CONSIDERING ACTION APPROVING ANINTERLOCAL AGREEMENT . THIS IS TO COOPERATE LEE PURCHASE GOODS AND SERVICES.

5C IS TO CONSIDER ACTION AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR THE COUNTRY AIR STATE

RECONSTRUCTION OF PHASE 1 PROJECT. >> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE

CONSENT AGENDA AS SUBMITTED. >> I SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE BOAT. THE ITEM CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

[Items 6A - 6C]

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. ITEM 6 A IS CONSIDERING AN ORDINANCE REVIEWING AND APPROVING THE ANNUAL BAYSIDE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN UPDATING THE ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR THE NORTH IMPROVEMENT AREA PURSUANT TO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE BAYSIDE PID.

>> I WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH SIX A, 6B AND 6C AND APPROVE EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.

>> I WILL GO AHEAD AND READ THE OTHERS IN AND WE CAN VOTE ON THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

ITEM 6B IS A CONSIDER ACTION TO PROVE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CHANGES TO THE BAYSIDE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN INCLUDING THE ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE ASSESSMENT ROLE AND LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS ON PROPERTY O THE PID PURSUANT TO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE BAYSIDE PID SOUTH IMPROVEMENT. ITEM 6 HE IS THE CONSIDER THE ACTION TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CHANGES TO THE TRAILS AT THE COTTONWOOD CREEK PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT PID SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN INCLUDING THE ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE ASSESSMENT ROLE AND LEVY ASSESSMENTS ON PROPERTY IN THE PID.

NOW YOU CAN PRESENT TO. >> THIS IS FOR THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS ASSESSMENT PLANS AND UPDATES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 COVERING THE BASE ITEM IN THE AREA. ANNUAL UPDATES ARE REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT COD . THIS REAFFIRMS THE CITY PLANS. TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION COMBINES THE ROLES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 FOR THE DISTRICTS HOWEVER A SEPARATE MOTION IS REQUIRED FOR EACH DISTRICT. AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR MASTER TRASH TO

PRODUCE TODAY'S INFORMATION. >>> EVENING COUNSEL. AS MIKE MENTIONED EACH OF THESE REPORTS IS AN ANNUAL REQUIREMENT FOR CHAPTER 372 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

I JUST ANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW ITEMS WITHIN EACH OF THOSE REPORTS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO BE

[01:00:03]

REVIEWED BY COUNSEL EACH YEAR. THIS IS THE NORTH IMPROVEMENT AREA IN BAYSIDE.

THIS IS FOR WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT ADDED TO THE TABLE. THIS WAS ADDED BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WITHIN THE SOUTH AREA ON THE NORTH AREA THERE WAS ADDITIONAL BENEFIT FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS THAT BENEFITED THOSE AREAS. IT ALSO SETS A PATH IF THERE WERE EVER EXCESS PITS THEY COULD REIMBURSE THE CONSTRUCTION.

>> WITH EACH OF THESE ANNUAL UPDATES IS TO SET THE ANNUAL BUDGET WHICH INCLUDES DEBT SERVICE FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER QUICK COMPARISON BLASTERS ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AREA WAS APPROXIMATELY $661,000.

THIS BUDGET IS SLIGHTLY DOWN FROM LAST YEAR WHICH IN LOOKING AT THE TABLE THE RIGHT HAND SIDE FOR A 30 FOOT OR 50 FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY UNIT AND FOR TOWNHOMES AT THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE AREA AND IT'S ABOUT A 20% DECREASE FROM LAST YEAR TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE CURRENT OUTSTANDING ASSESSMENT AND INDEBTEDNESS FOR THE NORTH IMPROVEMENT AREA. THERE HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE PREPAYMENTS THAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SLIDE, THERE HAVE BEEN FIVE BOND REDEMPTIONS.

THESE ARE KEY SO THAT WHEN THE ASSESSMENT IS PREPAID THE INTEREST CAN STOP ACCRUING ON THAT IS REPAID BACK TO THE BONDHOLDERS THE LAST ITEM IS A TABLE AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE SUBDIVISION. IN THE NORTH IMPROVEMENT AREA WE DID HAVE A PLAT FILED AND RECOGNIZED FOR 109 ADDITIONAL SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNIT .

LAST YEAR THAT ACCOUNT ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE TABLE WAS BUILT.

>> MOVING TO THE SOUTH IMPROVEMENT AREA THERE ARE SIMILAR ITEMS TO REVIEW AND UPDATE AS FAR AS THE BUDGET TABLE. MANY OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMPLETED HOWEVER WE DO HAVE IN THIS TABLE ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY DOWN THE SAME ADDITIONAL WATER IMPROVEMENTS AND THE BENEFIT RECEIVED BY THE SOUTH IMPROVEMENT AREA.

ONE ITEM THAT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT MAY HAVE BEEN A POTENTIAL QUESTION WHICH IS IN LAST YEAR'S REPORT. IT IS A COLUMN THAT IS LABELED A BUDGET ANNUAL SERVICE FOR 22 AND 23. LAST YEAR WAS THE STAFF UPDATE WITH 2021.

THAT WAS TO REFLECT THE LAST TIME AND MATERIAL CHANGE. AT THAT TIME WE INCORPORATED SOME OF THE COST ITEMS THAT WERE NOT ORIGINALLY INCORPORATED IN THERE.

WE UPDATED IT IN THIS FASHION BECAUSE OF THE ADDITION OF THE ADDITIONAL OFF-SITE WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS INCORPORATED INTO THE STABLE. THIS IS NOT REPRESENT ANY ADDITIONAL INCREASES IN ASSESSMENTS TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE SOUTH.

>> REGARDING THE TABLE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SLIDE I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS OVERSIGHT. THE DEVELOPMENT AND UNIT COUNT FOR 23 AND 24 SHOULD ALSO BE REFLECTED IN THE COLUMNS AS THERE ARE NO CHANGES CONFIRMED BY THE DEVELOPER THAT DOES NOT IMPACT ANY OF THE CALCULATIONS OR OUTPATIENTS FOR THE ASSESSMENTS.

[01:05:02]

WE CAN AMEND THAT TABLE. THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGE FROM THE UNIT ACCOUNT APPROVED IN LUSTROUS REPORT. AGAIN FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT AREA WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL BUDGET WHICH INCLUDES THE BOND DEBT SERVICE, ADMINISTERED OF EXPENSES FOR THE UPCOMIN YEAR.

LAST YEAR THIS AMOUNT WAS APPROXIMATELY $2,921,000 WHICH WAS A DECREASE IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET DUE TO THE AVAILABLE RESERVE FUND INCOME GENERATED HELD BY THE RESERVE FUND WHICH IS HELD BY THE TRUSTEE. THERE'S ABOUT $100 DECREASE VERSUS THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CURRENT ASSESSMENTS OF THE PROPERTIES IN THE SOUTH IMPROVEMENT AREAS ARE APPROXIMATELY $32,461,000. WE HAVE HAD ONE BOND PREPAYMENT RELATED TO THE REDEMPTION WHICH DOES TIE TO THE PREPAYMENT FOR PREPAYMENTS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

NOTHING WAS SUBDIVIDED AT THAT TIME. THIS YEAR'S ASSESSMENT ROLE DOES HAVE SUBDIVISIONS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH IMPROVEMENT AREA WITH APPROXIMATELY 80 OR SO ACCOUNTS TIED TO THE VARIOUS POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT.

THE FIRST TIME IS TO REVIEW THE BUDGET TABLES. I DO KNOW THAT IT'S ANTICIPATED BASED ON THE LAST QUARTERLY PDISCLOSURE FOR THE PROJECT. I KNOW THEY ARE CLOSE TO COMPLETION. YOU CAN SEE HERE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF BONDS.

THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT BONDS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT BOND THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR COTTONWOOD CREEK. THEY HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL BUDGET TABLE SUBMITTED FOR THE APPROVAL. I WILL NOTE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT ACTUAL DOLLARS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE BUILT WITH PROPERTY OWNERS. THE TRANSITIONS WELL WITH THE ANTICIPATION THAT THEY SHOULD BE COMPLETED SOON AND THE FINAL PLAT IS NOT TOO LONG AFTER

THAT. >> THE CURRENT INDEBTEDNESS THAT YOU COULD SEE HERE WITH OUTSTANDING BONDS WITH THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREA ONE THERE HAVE BEEN NO PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS MADE TODAY. PENDING ANY QUESTIONS WE ARE JUST REQUESTING APPROVAL OF EACH ORDINANCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> I HAVE A SERIES OF QUESTIONS THANK YOU MAYOR. >> FIRST WITH REGARD TO THE OFF-SITE WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS. WHICH PROJECT WAS THAT?

DO WE KNOW? WAS IT THE PROJECT HERE? >> IT WAS THE WEST SIDE OF THE

PENINSULA THAT RAN FROM THE SOUTH.>> AND WONDERING WHAT ADDITIONAL OFF-SITE PROJECTS

THERE ARE. >> IN AUGUST OF 2019 WE SIGNED A MASTER DEVELOP AN AGREEMENT AND WE HAD A LIST OF PROJECTS YEAR. THE RELEVANT ROAD 18 INCH WITH

[01:10:07]

A 60 INCH WATER ASSESSMENT. >> I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT SOME OF THOSE COSTS WERE INCURRED AND PAID FOR AS PART OF THESE PROJECTS AND ADDED AS PART OF THESE PROJECTS. IT'S A BENEFIT TO THE CITY AS A WHOLE BY THAT IMPROVEMENT. THE SECOND QUESTION IS AM I TO UNDERSTAND FROM THE NORTH SIDE PIT THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT COULD REIMBURSE THAT COST AT THIS TIME?

>> THAT'S CORRECT.T THIS TIME THERE IS NO ACCESS MONEY AVAILABLE.

>> ON THE SOUTH SIDE NOT EVERYTHING IS BEEN SPENT BUT ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE TOTAL COST WAS REIMBURSED TO THE CITY FROM THE PID. IS THAT WHAT WE WILL EXPECT

THAT THIS TIME? >> AT THIS TIME THERE IS A SMALL AVAILABLE AMOUNT FOR

FUNDING. >> IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THERE COULD BE MORE LATER ON?

>> IN THE EVENT THAT PARENTS HAVE PAID THEIR ASSESSMENTS WERE LATE ON THEIR PAYMENTS THEY CAN ACCRUE PENALTY AND THAT PENALTY CAN BE IN THE FUTURE CAPTURED BY THIS

MECHANISM. >> ALLOWS QUESTION AND I WANT TO BOTH THINK AND APOLOGIZE TO STAFF BECAUSE I EMAILED YOU SO LATE TO ASK THE QUESTION. THERE ARE TWO ? C ? ONE OF THE TOP OF PAGE WHICHEVER THIS PAGE IS IN THE PACKET. ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT HAS THAT CONCERN IS THAT SHOWED GOING FROM 1027 MULTIFAMILY FOR HAVING THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

THE CHANGE WAS MADE LAST YEAR TO ENCOURAGE THE NUMBER OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN THIS YEAR THERE IS A NET ZERO CHANGE. THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

MY QUESTION FOR DAVID IS THIS TABLE IS REFLECTED THIS WAY IN THE SERVICE PLAN UPDATE.

CAN WE MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE SERVICE PLAN UPDATE? THE MOTION IS CLEAR BUT SURE YOU CAN MAKE THE AMENDMENT AND TRASH CAN FIX THE TABLE AND IT CAN BE PUBLISHED TOMORROW.

>> THAT IS CORRECT. I WOULD ALSO APLOGIZE FOR THAT OVERSIGHT.

>> I WOULD DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE EMOTION FOR ITEM 6B TO CLARIFY THAT THAT TABLE AND THAT DOES NEED TO BE AMENDED BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO REFLECT LAST YEAR'S NUMBER AS BEING CORRECT. MATHEMATICALLY THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE ESTIMATED BUILDOUT VALUE BETWEEN THE TWO COLUMN AND IT SHOWS A ZERO VARIANCE WHICH IS INCORRECT.

WHOEVER DOES MAKE THAT MOTION I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT WE GO THAT ROUTE.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> SIX AI WILL READ IT AGAIN. IT'S CONSIDERING AN ORDINANCE FOR THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SERVICE AND PLAN UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR NORTH IMPROVEMENT AREA PURSUANT TO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE BAYSIDE PID.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> FOR ITEM 6 AI MOVE THAT WE APPROVE AS PRESENTED.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> OF EMOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

QUICKSET ITEM CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM B IS TO CONSIDER THE

[01:15:05]

ACTION AND APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING CHANGES TO THE BAYSIDE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND ASSESSMENT PLAN INCLUDING THE ANNUAL UPDATE OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLE IN THE LEVEE AND ASSESSMENTS ON THE PROPERTY IN THE PID PURSUANT TO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE

BAYSIDE PID. >> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ITEM IS PRESENTED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TABLE 2 ? C ? ONE OR IS IT ? TWO? IT'S ONE.

THIS SHOULD REFLECT THE SAME ESTIMATED BUILDOUT VALUE AND NUMBER OF UNITS FOR 2022 TO 2023. BOXES ARE SECOND TO THAT MOTION?

>> I WILL SECOND. >> EMOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. THAT ITEM CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM 6C. CONSIDER AN ACTION TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CHANGES TO THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEKPUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN INCLUDING THE ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE ASSESSMENT ROLE AND LEVEE OF ASSESSMENTS ON THE PROPERTY IN THE PID PURSUANT TO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE

DISTRICT . >> I MOVE THAT WE PRIVY ITEM IS PRESENTED.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

PLEASE CALL THE BOAT THE ITEM CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. WHAT'S HE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO

[6D. Consider action to approve a resolution accepting the proposal of and awarding a contract to Olsson Studio in the amount of $ 75,000 for the Downtown Rowlett Strategic Plan.]

ITEM 60 WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO ACT APPROVE A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE PROPOSAL OF AND AWARDING A CONTRACT TO OLSON STUDIO THE AMOUNT OF $75,000 FOR THE DOWNTOWN RHYOLITE STRATEGIC PLAN. PRESENTING THIS ITEM ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE IT LOOKS LIKE.

STARTING THIS OFF IS MELINDA OUR DOWNTOWN MANAGER. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. IN NOVEMBER 2022 THE TEXAS DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION DELETED AN ASSESSMENT OF DOWNTOWN ROWLETT. A DISTRICT COMPRISED OF 300 ACRES LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ASSESSMENT INCLUDES PROPOSED DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, LOGO AND BRANDING FOR DOWNTOWN, PROVIDING BETTER CONNECTIVITY WITH SIGNAGE AND COMPLETING THE STRATEGIC PLAN.A PLACE FOR AN AUDIT WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE 2023 BY CIVIC BRAND. IN JULY 2023 A PUBLIC SURVEY REACHING OVER 1300 PEOPLE CONFIRMED MUCH OF WHAT WE LEARNED THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT AND AUDIT AND LEFT MORE TO BE DISCOVERED. THE NEXT STEP IS A DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN THAT PROVIDES THE CITY OF RHYOLITE WITH THE DIRECTION AND VISION TO MOVE FORWARD AND REDEVELOP THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT KNOWN AS DOWNTOWN ROWLETT. YOU'RE TO TALK ABOUT THE PLANNING EFFORT WE WANT TO START OFF WITH THE DOWNTOWN ROWLETT STRATEGIC PLAN.

THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT WITH BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION, TOURISM, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC SPACE,

PUBLIC ART AND OTHER KEY TOPICS. >> GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS

[01:20:19]

VIVIAN WE REPRESENT THE STUDIO AND WE ARE EXCITED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. I AM A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY PLANNER.

>> MY NAME IS KEN AND I WAS IN CHARGE FOR THE STUDIO AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE STUDIO AS I WILL BE INVOLVED FROM START TO FINISH. WE USE THIS GRAY HAIR AND EVERYTHING THAT I'VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY. WE SORT OF DRIED OUT WITH ASPIRATION AND VISION IS FOR DOWNTOWN. WE PUT IT TO THE TEST ABOUT HOW WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW WHO OLSON STUDIO IS. WE ARE A COMMUNITY PLANNING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO. IT'S A NATIONAL MULTI-EXPERIENCE.

WE HAVE THE STUDIO ITSELF WITH OVER 100 YEAR LEGACIES. IT'S NOT JUST VIVIAN AND I. WE HAVE A WHOLE ENTIRE COMPANY THAT WE GET TO LEERAGE IT'S A MARKETING AND ECONOMICS SITE WITH CANYON RESEARCH SOUTHWEST. ERIC AND I HAVE DONE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PLANS TOGETHER.

WE HAVE OUR TRANSPORTATION GROUP THAT WE LEVERAGE WITH THE ARCHITECTURE GROUP IN THE STUDIO AND WE TALK ABOUT PLACE MAKING WE TALK ABOUT CREATING IT THERE OR THERE.

THOSE OF FOLKS THAT HELP US DO THAT. A COUPLE OF BLESSINGS ABOUT THE STUDIO REALLY WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN THIS IDEA OF CREATING A CLEAR CONCISE PLAN.

IT CAPTURES A VISITING ALONG THE WAY AND THAT'S HOW WE BUILD PEOPLE AND CHAMPIONS WHO WANT TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AS WE CREATE THOSE NEXT STEPS FOR COMMUNITIES TO TAKE. ONE OF THE MESSAGES WE DO IS WE DO THEIDENTIFICATION OF CATALYST PROJECT COMMUNITIES . WE CAN CREATE THEM AND MAKE THEM HAPPEN.

THE MOMENTUM IS WHAT CREATES SUCCESS DOWNTOWN. WANT TO MAKE SUREWE CAN DO THAT . AND THEN AGAIN THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HELPING US BUILD CONSENSUS ALONG THE WAY TO MAKE SURE NOBODY WANTS TO BE A CHAMPION AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

>> FOR ME I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE DO THIS A LOT.

IF I PULL MY PLANNING GROUP AND ASK WHAT THEY FAVOR PROJECTS WERE TO A PERSON THEY WOULD SAY DOWNTOWN PROJECTS. WE SEEK THEM OUT WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THEM BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVE THEIR DOWNTOWNS. THEY ARE ENGAGED HAVING PEOPLE THAT AREENGAGED IN THE PROCESS . THIS IS JUST A SNIPPET OF SOME OF THE PLANS WE ARE CURRENTLY

[01:25:02]

WORKING ON. IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER IS DOWNTOWN PLANO.

WORKING WITH THEM WITH THE STATION PLANS RIGHT NOW. WE HELP THEM RUN THEIR PROCESS AS THEY UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THOSE NEW STATIONS ON THE FUTURE OF THEIR DOWNTOWN AND

HOW THEIR DOWNTOWN MIGHT GROW. >> HE WANTED TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF OUR APPROACH TO

ENGAGING YOUR COMMUNITY IN DEVELOPING THE PLAN ITSELF. >> THIS IS THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS THAT WE UTILIZE TO CONDUCT THE PLANNING EFFORT.

AS YOU CAN SEE IT HAS FIVE PHASES ONE OF WHICH GOES THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROCESS. IT'S A LINEAR SYSTEM HERE SO WE START WITH DISCOVER WITH UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY AND EXISTING COMMUTE CONDITIONS. AT THE BOTTOM EC ENGAGEMENT.

WE ARE ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS FROM DAY ONE UNTIL ADOPTION.THAT YOU CAN SEE IS GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROCESS. WE PLAN SECOND SO WE HAVE THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIES WITH RECOMMENDATION .

WE HAVE THE REFINEMENT OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN WE HAVE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF THIS IS OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS I WOULD GO INTO A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS

LIKE. >> THE BASIS OF OUR PLANNING APPROACH REALLY COMES DOWN TO THREE THINGS. BEING AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EXISTS TODAY.

SECOND BEING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ECONOMICS AND THE MARKET FORCES AND DOWNTOWN AND THIRD BEING THE VOICE OF YOUR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THESE THREE ELEMENTS COME TOGETHER INTO STRATEGIES THAT SHAPE DOWNTOWN.

WE GOT REACH OF THEM BRIEFLY SO FIRST I SAID EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS.

WE GO THROUGH INTENTIONAL AND MULTIFACETED STEPS TO UNDERSTAND THE EXISTING STATE OF DOWNTOWN. THIS INCLUDES SITE VISITS, A PHOTOGRAPHIC INVENTORY WHERE WE GO THROUGH BLOCK BY BLOCK AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT EXISTS TODAY.

IT'S A REVIEW OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS. IN UNDERSTANDS THE EXISTING LAND USES WITH ELEMENTS AND DEMOGRAPHIC UNDERSTANDING SO WE GO THROUGH THESE STEPS TO DO

EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS AND UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THERE TODAY.>> TO BRIEFLY TOUCH ON THE ECONOMIC MARKET PIECE IT'S A CRITICAL LEG OF THE STOOL. THESE ARE IN THE RFP AND ARE THINGS THAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE WHEN WE DO A MARKET STUDY OR ANALYSIS FOR DOWNTOWN.

I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS.HE FIRST IS THE IDENTIFICATION OF A MARKET NICHE. THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT THING AND IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT OUR IDENTITY IS IN THE MARKETPLACE AND WHY PEOPLE WOULD COME HERE.

HOW CAN WE LEAVE THEM HERE AND WHY ARE PEOPLE GOING TO OTHER PLACES? THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT LEADS TO WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO ADD TO THE MIX TO START TO CREATE THAT CRITICAL MASS SO THAT WE ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THAT.

I CALL IT REPEATABILITY. A REASON TO COME AND THEN GO TELL SOMEONE AND THEN COME BACK AGAIN. IT'S REALLY ABOUT HOW WE IDENTIFY WHAT THAT IS WHAT PART OF THIS VISIONING PIECE WE TALK ABOUT WHICH IS EXACTLY THAT. WE GO THROUGH A WHOLE BUNCH OF DEMAND STAFF AND YOU'VE SEEN IT AND A LOT OF REPORTS. THIS JUST MAKES TIMING AND INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND INCENTIVES. AS WE THINK ABOUT THIS IT COMES BACK TO HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO WANT TO COME AND STAY AND BE A PART OF OUR DOWNTOWN.

WE WILL DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR THESE THINGS IN HERE FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TRENDS WITH MEDICATION OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY EXIST. UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS RETENTION WHICH IS CRITICAL TO DOWNTOWN. IT'S NOT JUST HOUSING OR COMMERCIAL. IT ALSO INCLUDES EMPLOYMENT AS A MIXER FOR HEALTHY DOWNTOWN.

IF WE DRAW PEOPLE IN AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME AND WE WANT THEM TO BRING OUR CASH REGISTRIES WE NEED THEM TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT FIRST IMPRESSION THAT THEY GET IS TRANLATABLE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE TO COME BACK AND THEN

[01:30:03]

FOR THEM TO COME BACK. AND THEN FINALLY AS WE HAVE LEARNED QUITE A BIT IN OUR DOWNTOWNS. THE SMALL PIECE OF THIS IS CRITICAL TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS SO WE NEED TO HAVE AN AVENUE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROTECTING THOSE LOCAL BUSINESS RESOURCES. THAT'S WHAT BILL THIS A NICHE AND UNIQUE IDEA.

VIVIAN MENTIONED THIS IDEA BUILDING ON STRATEGIES. IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT THESE OTHER THINGS DONE LEADING UP TO THIS. WE EMBRACE THOSE AND MOVE THEM FORWARD AND ADD TO THEM. NEXT WE SPOKE ABOUT THE DATA ANALYSIS AND EXISTING CONDITIONS AS WELL AS THE MARKET AND ECONOMICS. THIS THIRD PIECE IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. CRITICAL TO THE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN IS ENGAGING THE RELEVANT COMMUNITY. WE KNOW THAT, WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. WE WORK TO DEVELOP A PLANNING ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THAT IS MEANINGFUL AND IMPACTFUL AND THAT IS REALLY ENJOYABLE. WE TAKE A MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO THE COMMUNITY WITH MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN THE PROCESS INCLUDING BOTH DIGITAL AND IN-PERSON OPPORTUNITIES. WE HAVE A PLAN LAID OUT FOR THAT AND THE PROCESS REALLY WORKS TO BUILD EXCITEMENT, MOMENTUM AND A LOT OF ENERGY SURROUNDING THE PROSPECT OF DOWNTOWN ITSELF. HERE WE HAVE THIS NOTE THAT THE VIOLET COMMUNITY WILL BE INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN.

OUR PROCESS IS BUILT AROUND THE LAKE I SHOWED AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE PROCESS DOCUMENT ENGAGEMENT GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROCESS SO THE PUBLIC IS INVOLVED.WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S KNOWN THAT WE WILL ESTABLISH AND ENGAGE BOTH THE STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY AND A STEERING COMMUNITY WHICH HAS DIFFERENT PURPOSES AND WE WILL ALSO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN THE PROCESS OF SHAPING, GUIDING AND REFINING THE ACTUAL PLAN ITSELF.HERE WE HAVE OUR TOOLS FOR ENGAGEMENT TO BE UTILIZED IN THE DOWNTOWN PLAN.

WE USE DIVERSE TOOLS LIKE I MENTIONED BOTH IN PERSON AND DIGITAL MEANS TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY TO CREATE MULTIPLE TOUCH POINTS AND TO BUILD MOMENTUM AROUND THE PLANNING EFFORTS. WE MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE UTILIZED IN A WAY THAT FITS INTO THE CITY SCHEDULE AND WE ARE USING YOUR EXPERTISE TO DEVELOP THAT PLAN.

ECHO DID THE DATA ANALYSIS OF THE MARKET PORTIONS. THOSE PIECES LIKE I MENTIONED WILL WEAVE TOGETHER TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN AND WE GO REALLY FROM DISCOVERY TO THE PLANNING PROCESS TO THE CREATION OF THE PLAN. HERE I HAVE A QUICK OVERVIEW.

WE ARE PARTNERS WITH YOU ON THIS PROCESS SO WE HAVE OUR OVERARCHING ROLES AND REALLY THE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED IS THAT WE WILL BE CONDUCTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND UTILIZING THE INSIGHTS THROUGHOUT. WE USE THE INTEL TO REALLY DEVELOP THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY TO BUILD AROUND THE PLANNING PROCESS AND USING EXISTING COMMUNICATION TO PROMOTE THE EFFORTS AND ULTIMATELY TO REVIEW AND ADOPT THE PLAN

ITSELF. >> WE HAVE A TIMELINE HERE SO THIS IS KIND OF A QUICK BURN IT'S A SIX-MONTH PLANNING PROCESS. THESE FIVE PHASES THAT I MENTIONED WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS. WE ARE DOING ENGAGEMENT THROUGHOUT LIKE I MENTIONED AND WE ARE DOING THE DISCOVERY PROCESS IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN REFINING AND IMPLEMENTING TOWARDS THE END. EXCITED TO INTEGRATE YOUR INSIGHTS AND EXCITEMENT FOR THE PLAN ITSELF IN BUILDING THE PLAN.

WITH THAT I WILL HAND IT BACK. >> THE NEXT STEP IN INCLUDES AN APPROVAL TONIGHT TAKING THE REINS AND BEING A PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF ROWLETT THE PROCESS OF DOING A STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE ARE PLEASED TO BE PARTNERS AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY AT THIS TIME.

[01:35:13]

SPECIFICALLY WHAT OF THOSE STRATEGIC PLANS INCLUDED DOWNTOWNS?YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BE TOO SPECIFIC JUST GENERAL. >> FOR NO CITIES AROUND RAIL THAT WE HAVE DONE STRATEGIC PLANS IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS AND ARE WORKING ON THEM IN ARIZONA RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU'VE SEEN OUR DOWNTOWN. I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT YOU PTHINK?

I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT. >> PEOPLE. >> WE HAVE GONE THROUGH LIKE I SAID A LITTLE BIT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC CENTAURI. I THINK THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL HERE TRULY IN THE EXISTING BUILDING STYLES ON THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE .

BOTH SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY WITH THE TRANSITION.

ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT I MENTIONED IN THE DISCUSSION WITH STAFF IS THE DART STATION BEING A HUGE ASSET IN THE WAY PTHAT IT CONNECTS PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX BUT ALSO IS KIND OF THE END OF THE LINE LITERALLY IN A SENSE. THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL IN THE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE THAT EXISTS. THERE IS HUGE POTENTIAL IN THE OPEN SPACE THAT YOU HAVE LOCATED JUST DOWNTOWN AND THE ABILITY TO BUILD AND COMPOUND UPON THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND REALLY PULL INTO THAT BUILT-IN CUSTOMER BASE OF THE RESIDENTIAL FOLKS THAT YOU HAVE NEXT DOOR. IT'S EVIDENT JUST DRIVING THROUGH. I THINK THAT THERE IS JUST WE SET A GENERIC PRESENTATION TO

STAFF RECEIVE MOMENTUM AND POTENTIAL. >> JUST CURIOUS.

>> YOU'VE DONE THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN. IS THERE ANYONE THAT TENDS TO WORK THE MOST IN TERMS OF MAKING DOWNTOWN?IS THERE ONE THING OR IS IT JUST TOO COMPLEX

FOR IT TO BE JUST ONE THING? >> I WOULD SAY PARTNERSHIPS. THERE HAS TO BE A WILLINGNESS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. TO WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH THE TERRITORIALITY THAT PEOPLE HAV . THAT COULD BE THAT WE OFTEN RUN INTO DOWNTOWNS THAT HAVE HISTORIC PROPERTY OWNERSHIP THAT NEVER RECEIVES ANY SORT OF AN ONGOING SORTS OF RIGHTS AND THEY DON'T WANT A PARTNER. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF THE FUTURE OF WHAT IT IS.

WITH THE OPPORTUNITY COULD BE IN THE DOWNTOWN. GETTING EVERYBODY TO PULL THE SAME WAY ON THE ROAD MEANS HAVING A VISION. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VISION AND A STRATEGY TO EXECUTE THAT VISIO . IF YOU DON'T GET EVERYBODY.

>> MY LAST QUESTION. ELEVATOR SPEECH. WHY IS HAVING A DOWNTOWN

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPORTANT? >> BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SET YOUR OWN COURSE.

YOU DON'T WANT THE MARKET TO TELL YOU WHERE IT WANTS TO GO. YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE REACTIVE.

YOU WANT TO BE ACTIVE IN THAT MARKET AS THEY PUSH DOWNTOWN. WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO YOU AND SAYS THAT THEY HAVE AN IDEA THE COMMUNITY HAS SAID WHAT THEIR IDEA IS.

[01:40:01]

HOW DO THOSE WORK TOGETHER? THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THIS IS A PLAN THAT WILL DEVELOP AND IS SET IN STONE. WHAT IT DOES MEAN IS IT CAPTURES THE PATIENT OF WHAT THAT SUPPOSED TO BE. MANY OF THE PLACE THAT BOTH PARTIES CAN OPERATE FROM THAT SEEMS AT LEAST MORE OPEN AND UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT THE GOALS ARE EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY

BE DIFFERENT. >> OKAY THANK YOU. QUESTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM?

>> I HAVE THIS LONG LIST OF QUESTIONS AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS AND AS EACH OF YOU TAG TEAMED AND SPOKE YOU ANSWERED MOST OF THOSE EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE ONE THAT THE MAYOR ASKS ABOUT WHAT CITIES YOU HAVE ACTUALLY DONE DOWNTOWN AND HE MENTIONED SOME STATES.

COULD WE HAVE THE NAMES OF ONE OR TWO SPECIFICS? >> IT'S REALLY TRANSFORMATIONAL AND I ACTUALLY WAS ASKED TO GO BACK WITH THE PLAN AND HOW THEY EXECUTED TO MOVE FORWARD. BUCKEYE ARIZONA IS WHEN THAT WAS JUST PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

BUCKEYE IS THE FOURTH LARGEST COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES BY AREA.

IT'S THE STRANGEST THING IN THE WORLD AND IT'S JUST THE SYNONYMOUS THING WITH A REALLY GREAT HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PIECE THAT'S VERY LOW AND THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE GROWTH BECAUSE THEY GET 3 TO 400,000 PEOPLE MOVING INTO THEIR COMMUNITY.

THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT TO THE HIGHWAY. >> I JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO

GO AND CHECK OUT A FEW OF THOS . >> I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE ARE FINALLY FOCUSING ON DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR OUR DOWNTOWN.

IT SEEMS LIKE IN THE PAST IT'S JUST BEEN ONE OF THOSE IT JUST GREW LIKE THAT SITUATION.

AS YOU POINTED OUT AN ANSWER TO THE MAYOR'S QUESTION HAVING A PLAN IS SO VITAL BECAUSE OTHERWISE HE DOES HAVE CHAOS. 'M GLAD THAT WE ARE DOING THAT.

I WAS REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR YOU USE THE WORD TRANSFORMATIONAL.

I USE THAT WORD A LOT LATELY TO SAY THAT WE ARE NOT JUST IN A TRANSITIONAL TIME IN ROULAC.

WE ARE IN A TRANSFORMATIONAL TIME AND I THINK IT'S TIME TO MAKE THAT BIG LEAP FROM SMALL TOWN TO WHAT WE NOW ARE WHICH IS A MIDSIZED CITY AND STILL MAINTAIN THAT SMALL TOWN INTIMACY AND THAT SMALL-TOWN FRIENDLINESS AND FEELING. I THINK THAT'S WHAT MOST OF OUR CITIZENS WANT TO SEE IN OUR DOWNTOWN. I'M EXCITED ABOUT WORKING WITH YOU GUYS. YOU BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 1910 MY GOODNESS YOU DON'T LOOK THAT OLD. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WAS CAN ASK ABOUT THE TIMEFRAME I'M AMAZED THAT THIS IS A SIX-MONTH PROCESS. I WOULD'VE THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE LONGER THAN THAT BUT I GUESS YOU ARE QUITE GOOD. HAT'S A GOOD THING.

I AM EXCITED TO SEE ESPECIALLY HOW TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND HOW YOU BRING TOGETHER MAYBE SOME OF THE CONFLICTING VISIONS THAT WE SEE AMONG CITIZENS. MAYBE EVEN AMONG COUNCILMEMBER . TO DEVELOP SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH.

I HOPE YOU WILL ALSO INCLUDE A WINERY FOR ME. >> THANK YOU.

>> FIRST THE QUESTION FROM LINDA IF I MAY. >> WHAT SETS THIS FIRM APART

FROM THE OTHER FOUR RFPS? >> I THINK THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS VERY WISE.

THEY CHANGED THIS UNANIMOUSLY. SOME OF THE THINGS THEY LIKED ABOUT THE CITY WAS THAT THEY WERE LOCAL AND THEY HAD A LOT OF DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE. THEY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE THE VALUE-ADDED ASPECT AND THE FACT THAT THEY WILL DO A PHOTOGRAPHIC INVENTORY OF THE

[01:45:04]

ENTIRE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE THE INVENTORY AFTER THE PROCESS IS THROUGH.THERE IS A LOT MORE COMING TO THE TABLE WITH THIS FIRM THAN WITH THE OTHER FIRM.

WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE WE HAD FIVE PROPOSALS THAT WE RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THE RFP.

AGAIN OLSON STUDIO WAS DEFINITELY A UNANIMOUS DECISION BY THE COMMITTEE.

I WAS A FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LOOK LOCATED IN KANSAS AND THAT WAS BACK IN 2000 TO 2002. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE DOWNTOWN THERE SINCE I WAS THE DIRECTOR HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED IN MANY WAYS.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. JUST SEEING THE PICTURES AND HEARING THE STORIES WITH THE

DEVELOPMENT IS DOWNTOWN HAS REALLY IMPRESSED ME IF YOU JUST WANT A PERSONAL TESTIMONY.>>

QUESTION FOR OLSON? >> HE MENTIONED THE NUMBER OF DOWNTOWN ASSESSMENTS HE DONE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THE MAYOR RELATED TO THIS WITH THE NUMBER THAT YOU HAVE DONE THE TYPE CITIES YOU'VE DONE BUT WHAT HAS CHANGED IN THE POST-PANDEMIC WORLD ABOUT DOWNTOWN ASSESSMENTS AND STRATEGIC PLAN? HOW HAVE THE STRATEGIC PLANS THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST 12 TO 18 MONTHS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE, HOW DOES THAT GO WITH THE CITIES THAT HAVE DONE THAT IN THAT TIME PERIOD?

>> FROM A PROCESS STANDPOINT ONE OF THE BIG THINGS IT CHANGES IS THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW TO USE DIGITAL TOOLS TO ENGAGE WHICH THEY ABSOLUTELY DID IT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

THEY HAD NO IDEA. IT'S OPENED UP BESIDE THAT WE WERE ALREADY USING AND IT'S WAY EASIER TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE TO GET MORE TOUCHES FOR PEOPLE TO ENGAGE IN THE PROCESS AND THE PROJECT TO CREATE CONSENSUS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SIMPLY CANNOT OR WILL NOT PUT A PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE WORKSHOPS. THAT COMFORTABILITY HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT.

IT'S ADDED TO THE DISCOURSE IN A MEANINGFUL WAY FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT JUST DON'T WANT TO

PARTICIPATE. >> DOWNTOWNS ARE STILL ABSOLUTELY VIABLE POST-PANDEMI

. >> ABSOLUTELY. AS A MATTER FACT THEY ARE STRONGER AND AS WE THINK ABOUT THE CHANGE IN NATURE OF RETAIL AND WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 5 TO 10 YEARS WHAT THE CHANGE IN THE STANDARD MODEL SCRIPT WITH A BIG BOX SORT OF EXPERIENCE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BASING THEIR DECISIONS ON EXPERIENCE.

I WANT TO GO AND SPEND MONEY TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I CAN BUY ANYTHING ONLINE.

WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS FOR US TO CAPTURE THAT IDEA OF CURATING AN EXPERIENCE IN CREATING SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE THAT'S AUTHENTIC TO US AS A COMMUNITY AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO AND PROTECT THE REST OF THE WORLD.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT CREATING A SORT OF FUN LAND OR CARNIVAL. WE GET THAT GRAND SKATE.

IT'S A GREAT PROJECT BUILT ON EXPERIENCE. IT'S ABOUT COMING AND ENJOYING THE EXPERIENCE AND CURATING THE EXPERIENCES YOU GO THROUGH. OUR DOWNTOWN SHOULD FEEL LIKE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HAV . LOTS OF AIRSTRIPS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT DON'T GIVE US ANY OF THAT SO THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY THAT ARE DOWNTOWNS ARE REPRESENTING RIGHT NOW.

>> JUST A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE WAS LIKE THE LAST HALF OF THE LAST MONTH SO TELL ME HOW THAT TURNS INTO HANDING THAT OFF TO THE STAFF HERE AND THEY RUN WITH THAT? HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> SEEMS LIMITATION PHASE IS LARGELY PREPARING THE FINAL PLAN FOR ADOPTION OF THE STAFF TO TURN OVER.IN THAT PLANNING PROCESS THAT'S WHERE WE DEVELOP THE PLAN RECOMMENDATION.

THE PLANNING PROCESS SETS THE STAFF UP TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN. THE PLANNING PROCESS REALLY IS THE PROCESS OF PREPARING STAFF FOR IMPLEMENTATION THE WAY THAT WE DEVELOP OUR PLANS IS AS A

[01:50:04]

DAY-TO-DAY TOOL AND A CLEAR AND READABLE DOCUMENT THOSE KIND OF PRINCIPLES THAT WE MENTIONED IN THE IMPLEMENT PHASE IS MORE JUST PREPARING THE PLAN TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

WE KNOW THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY THE GOAL IS TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE A PHASE HERE CALLED IMPLEMENT WITH AN ARROW. THAT'S REALLY THE ULTIMATE GOAL HERE WHICH IS WHERE THE IMPLEMENTATION TAKES PLACE AND IT'S EASY TO TAKE DUE BECAUSE

WE PREPARE THE STAFF TO DO THAT. >> MICHAEL IS A PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WHICH IS ON THE COMMITTEE AND OUR CHAMBER HAS BEEN WORKING HARD ON BECOMING A CONVENTION CENTER TYPE THING. TELL ME HOW THE DOWNTOWN PLAYS INTO THAT TYPE OF ENTITY AND HOW THOSE CAN BENEFIT ONE ANOTHER? I MENTIONED TERRITORIES EARLIER. THEY CAN OFTEN BE OBSTACLES MOVING FORWARD. I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THE TERRITORIES RIGHT NOW.

PEOPLE HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THINGS THAT NEED TO HAVE OWNERSHIPS OF THOSE THINGS AND THOSE ARE THEIR JOBS. THE IDEA THAT THERE IS SOMEONE OR SOME ENTITY WHOSE DAILY JOB WHEN THEY WOKE UP IN THE MORNING IS TO ENSURE SUCCESS IN DOWNTOWN, THAT'S THEIR JOB.

IT'S NOT THIS AND THAT AND THI . THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PLANS THAT WE'VE EVER DONE THAT HAD SOMEONE WHO'S SOLE JOB IS TO FOCUS ON SUCCESS IN DOWNTOWN AND THAT MEANS REAL ESTATE AND PICKING UP TRASH. THERE IS SOMEONE THAT PEOPLE CAN GO TO AND KNOW THAT THEY ARE LEADING THE CHARGE WHICH CAN BE FUNDED AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT WAYS. THE EXISTING GROUPS AND PEOPLE AND TEAMS THAT WORK IN DOWNTOWN AND ARE PART OF IT CAN BE A PART OF THAT. WE HAVE SEEN THE MOST SUCCESS WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT THE SUCCESS IN DOWNTOWN. WE SENT IS OFTEN TIMES WE CREATE GROUPS AND ARE DOWNTOWNS THAT ARE SERVING A PURPOSE BY NOT SERVING THESE PURPOSES.

WE NEED IS SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO SERVE EVERY PURPOSE TOGETHER AND FOCUS ON DOWNTOWN.

>> WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT A BRIEF INVENTORY OF YOUR DOWNTOWN ALREADY THERE ARE SO MANY ASSETS WITH THE LIBRARY BEING A HUGE ONE. IT'S KIND OF THAT HAVE OF ACTIVITY LIKE A VISITOR HERE AND THAT CAN ONLY COMPOUND TO THAT.

WHAT THE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN SEEKS TO DO IS DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO CREATE A WELL ROUNDED DOWNTOWN. WHEN WE GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL DOWNTOWN AND WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE HERE OR BACK.

THAT'S ACTUALLY A PART OF THAT EQUATION. >> AM GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

I'M A BIG COMPONENT OF PLANS PARTICULAR. WE SEE THESE GREAT PICTURES AND TRIBES AND WE GET EXCITED.'M EXCITED FOR HER DOWNTOWN. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

I'M REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. WE ARE ON A SHORT TIMELINE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT QUICK WINS.

AND THAT SORT OF SHORT TIMELINE WHAT ARE QUICK WINS? WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU

CAN REALISTICALLY EXPECT? >> THE IDEA THAT WE CAN CREATE MOMENTUM WITH, I DON'T LIKE THE

[01:55:09]

TERM LOW HANGING PEOPLE GROUP BECAUSE THAT SEEMS SIMPLE AND THE.

, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. WE ARE LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT SHOWINVESTMENT . IT SHOWS CHANGE, CHARACTER. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IONED WA.

WE HAVE DONE INCREDIBLE THINGS WITH DEALING WITH LATE AND TURNING THOSE PROPERTIES BACK INTO VALUABLE PROPERTIES. YOU LOOK AT A BLOCK AND YOU PICK THE WORST ONE TO TAKE CARE OF AND THEN YOU ROLL FROM THERE. I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF STRATEGIES WITH HOW WE CREATE EARLY VISIBLE WHEN SO PEOPLE CAN SEE CHANGE AND INVESTMENT HAPPENING BECAUSE THIS IS BASED ON HOW WE GET PEOPLE TO SEE INVESTMENT AND PROVIDE MORE INVESTMENT. THAT LEADS TO THOSE EARLY VISIBLE WINDS.

IF WE START WITH THINGS LIKE INFRASTRUCTURE IT TAKES MANY WAYS HOW WE FUND THIS AND THEN THE TIMELINES ARE VERY LONG. IT'S NOT THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WHAT IT MEANS IS YOU GET TO THE END OF THIS PROCESS WHEN YOU HAVE A TWO YEAR TIME SPAN WE ARE DOING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THAT MOMENTUM DROPS. YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR THOSE THINGS THAT YOU COULD KEEP THE

NOISE GOING TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY LOVED ABOUT THE PRESENTATION AS THEY DID NOT MENTION LOW HANGING FRUIT.

THEY ACTUALLY REFER TO THESE SHORT-TERM BIG WINS AS CATALYST PROJECTS.

I LOVE THAT TERM A CATALYST PROJECT BECAUSE IT GIVES A SENSE THAT THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING EASY BUT IT'S SOMETHING VISIBLE AND SOMETHING IMPACTFUL THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION EFFORT. WHETHER THAT'S PUBLIC ART OR CREATIVE LAND USE. THESE ARE THINGS THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THESE CATALYST

PROJECTS IN THE VISION FOR DOWNTOWN AS A WHOLE. >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER QUESTIONS BUT SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT'S AN EYESORE OR ASSET.

>> ANECDOTALLY THE PLAN I MENTIONED HAD A VERY LARGE AREA AND A YEAR AGO RIGHT BEFORE WE START AT THE PLAN THEY DISASSEMBLED IT AND THE PIECES WENT AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S AT. THEY MAKE IT UNIQUE SO SHOULD ALWAYS BE PART OF THE PLAN IF

WE CAN MAKE THEM WORK. >> THEY HAVE TO BE SAFE AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS EXITS ON THE PARK FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MASTER PLAN TO WORK WITH THAT.

ONE OF YOUR SITES HAD A DIVIDER ON WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN THE CITY WAS SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS ON THE GROUND PART OF IT. WHAT IS YOUR PART IN THAT?

IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROCESS. >> WHICH IS TAKE TURNS.

>> COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS IS A WAY THAT WE CONDUCTED.

IT IS NOT A ROOM FULL OF CHERRIES WITH THE PERSON IN A MIKE.

WE FOUND THAT TO BE VERY INEFFECTIVE, VERY BORING AND IT DOESN'T ACHIEVE THE GOALS.

[02:00:02]

THE WAY THAT WE CONDUCT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

WE ARE TAKING VERY INTENTIONAL STRIDES TO INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS.

>> THE WAY THAT WE UTILIZE THESE TOOLS AND CHOOSE VARIETY APPEALS TO DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS AND PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT AVAILABILITY OF TIME WITH THOSE ELEMENTS THAT RESULTS IN A MORE WELL-ROUNDED SNAPSHOT OF THE COMMUNITY. THE WAY THAT WE DO IT IS VERY INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO SO OUR SURVEYS ARE DESIGNED TO BE VERY ACCESSIBLE AND REASONABLE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. OUR IN-PERSON EVENTS, RIGHT HERE WE HAVE A PLANNING CHARRETTE. IT'S A DAY OVER DAY PROCESS WITH SS AND THE PUBLIC.

WE BRING THEM IN FOR A FEW HOURS, ASKED HIM TO LEAVE AND DROP RENDERINGS AND DESIGN WITH VISION STATEMENTS. OUR TEAMS WILL PUT THEIR HEADS DOWN AND GET TO WORK AND THEN WEASKED THE PUBLIC ARE STAKEHOLDERS TO COME BACK AND . OUR PROCESS IS REALLY MEANT TO BE QUICK SO THAT THE END RESULT IS MORE THAN JUST HAVE THEY BEEN HEARD? CHECK THE BOX IT'S HAVE THEY HELPED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND SHAPING OF PLAN.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE TWO BOXES ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S IMPORTANT IS TO MANAGE A SIX MONTH TIMELINE. AND TO MANAGE THE SCOPE OF PROJECTS.

IT'S WITH CLIENT SO THAT THEY KNOW THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE WITH THE PROJECT.

THEY ALREADY KNOW WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE. IN THE END THAT'S REALLY OUR CLIENTS HELP US. WE CAN TELL THEM WHO WE THINK NEEDS TO BE IN THE ROOM.

WE HELP THEM WITH THOSE THINGS AND WE HAD A DIALOGUE AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT.

WE GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE RIGHT PLACE THROUGH THE PROJECT.

WE DO HAVE VISUAL TOOLS TO TELL IN OUR SURVEYS IF WE GET RESPONSES FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COMMUNIT AND HOW WE HAVE WAYS OF PUSHING A RESPONSE WITH REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK.

WE HAVE DIGITAL TOOLS BUT REALLY NOTHING BEATS A FACE-TO-FACE CONVERSATION.

>> ECHOES WITH THE LAST QUESTION. WHEN WE DO GET TO IMPLEMENT.

HOW ACTIONABLE IS THE PLAN AND VISION? WE NEED TYPICALLY PRESENT THAT PLAN HOW ACTIONABLE IS IT AT THAT POINT? IT'S A GREAT PICTURE THAT WE

CAN HANG UP IN CITY HALL HOW ACTIONABLE IS IT? >> .ACTIONABLE.

THE WAY THAT WE DESIGN PLANS IS ONE OF OUR LEARNING PRINCIPLES. IT'S NOT JUST AN EXERCISE IN OUR PLANNING MIND. IT IS A TOOL FOR YOU AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S NOT A TOOL THAT IS CLEAR, CONCISE AND UNDERSTANDABLE BY THE COMMUNITY.

WE WORKED VERY HARD TO DEVELOP THE PLANS THAT WE IMPLEMENT. THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE

EXERCISE. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING

WHAT HAPPENS IN DOWNTOWN THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> I HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS.

ONE HERE IT'S A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN WHAT IS THAT LOOK LIKE?

>> WE HAVE GOT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN.

>> THIS CAMPAIGN CAN BE AS ROBUST AS IT LOOKS. WE HAVE DONE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS THAT HAVE HAD GREAT FEEDBACK WITH PROJECT WEBSITES IN THE PAST.

IT CASTS WHEREVER WE CAN AND THOSE CHALLENGE WITH THE INVOLVEMENT IN THE PLANS.

>> . >> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.

[02:05:09]

I REALLY THINK IF PROPERLY DEVELOPED I DON'T JUST SEE IT AS A MASK IT'S A GOAL LINE.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE BUT IF WE IMPROVE THIS THING WILL YOU BE YOUR FIRST TEXAS TO DO?

>> WE HAVE WORKED IN PLANO. I PERSONALLY BEFORE THIS WORKED IN ANOTHER CITY DOING TRANSIT

PLANNING WORKING WITH DARK. >> WE ARE LOCAL AND WE INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE I HEARD SOME OUT-OF-STATE CLIENTS.

THERE'S A TON OF DOWNTOWNS IN TEXAS PARTICULARLY CHALLENGED WITH THE MARKET.

>> IT HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS SINCE THE CITY HAD WORKED AND WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OFFICE

HERE. >> IT'S A MAJOR PROJECT IN THE METRO WITH LEGACY FOR US.ONCE WE FINISH THE PROJECT WE WANTED TO BE BACK IN TEXAS. IT HAD BEEN TOO LONG.

IN 2016 WE STARTED PLANTING OUR ROOTS HERE SLOWLY. WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THAT IN THE STUDIO WASN'T PART OF THE SCALE. WE ARE PEOPLE IN OUR STUDIO IN

PLANO. >> WE ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING.

>> I WILL TELL YOU THIS. AS A VICE PRESIDENT AND A PRINCIPAL IN CHARGE OF THE COMPANY. YOUR PROJECT IS IMPORTANT TO U .

>> THAT'S WHY EVERY DAY WE ARE OUT HERE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN CONNECT WITH COMMUNITIES AND THEY WANT US TO DO THE WORK. WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

>> THANK YOU. >> I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION I JUST HAVE A COMMENT

IF THAT'S OKAY. >> YOU CAN SAY IT NOW HOW DO WE ENGAGE OR IS THERE A WAY TO ENGAGE IN NON-ROW THAT RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO COME HERE.

>> TO ADD ONTO THAT OUR DOWNTOWN HAS THINGS IN THEIR SHOTS WITH THOSE THAT ARE VISITING US. WE FIND OUT AND PUT IT ON THE MENU.

WE CAN DO THAT STUFF TO GET PEOPLE ENGAGED IN THOSE PIECES. WHY ARE YOU COMING? THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION WE SHOULD BE ASKING. WHERE YOU COME IN?

>> I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> A MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE

ITEMS PRESENTED. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> DISCUSSION AFTER THE SECOND

THAT'S WHEN I OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION. >> I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT YOU.

[02:10:13]

>> SECOND. >> THERE IS A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? I SEE A COUNCILMEMBER BOWERS. >> SORRY ABOUT THAT I STILL

HAVE TO LEARN MY WAY AROUND. >> I THINK THIS SOUNDS WONDERFUL.

I AM GOING TO BE IN NUMBER I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

IN THE FUTURE THAT WE NEED TO SAVE OUR MONEY FOR IT. >> I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THE $75,000 COULD BE USED FOR WITH SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN OUR DIRECTOR AND AND MELINDA AND I THINK THAT OUR STAFF CAN DO THIS VERY WELL. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I OFTEN TALK ABOUT WITH OTHERS IS THAT I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE I KNOW WHO WE ARE AS A CITY OR WHO WE WANT TO BE. IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WE'VE GROWN UP YET.

I'VE ALSO HEARD THE SAYING THAT UNLESS THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN. UNLESS IT'S DOWNTOWN NEITHER WILL THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT TOO. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT DOWNTOWN

IS THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. >> I REALLY BELIEVE THAT GOING TO THIS PROCESS WILL HOPEFULLY HELP US TO FIND OUT WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY. NOT JUST IN OUR DOWNTOWN.

OUR CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE SERVES THE DOWNTOWN TODAY AND THAT'S ALSO BECAUSE IT STATED. WHAT CAME OUT OF THE CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN IN MY OPINION AGAIN WAS A STRATEGIC FAILURE. THE VILLAGE OF ALL THAT IS TAKING UP SOME REAL ESTATE AND UTILIZING ALMOST EVERY INVESTMENT LEAVING MOSTLY NOTHING ELSE RATHER DOWNTOWN PROJECTS TO DEVELOP. WE CAN DO BETTER AND I FEEL LIKE THIS PROCESS WILL IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS WHERE WE CAN ENHANCE OUR DOWNTOWN NOT JUST FOR THE SHORT QUICK WINS BUT ALSO FOR THE LONG TERM STRATEGIC VISION FOR WHAT WE

WANT TO BE NOT JUST IN OUR DOWNTOWN BUT AS A COMMUNITY. >> I WANT TO SAY THAT I UNDERSTAND COUNCILMEMBER BOWERS AND THE CONCERNS IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET.

WE DEFINITELY HAVE MANY NEEDS THAT ARE HIGH PRIORITIES. I ALSO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT.THEY ARE NOT EXPERTS OR FOCUSED SPECIALIZING IN DEVELOPING DOWNTOWN.

I THINK AS THE MAYOR SAID STAFF HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS BEFORE.

EVEN IF STAFF IS ABLE TO DO THIS I DON'T THINK STAFF HAS THE TIME AND THE RESOURCES TO DO THIS PLANNING PROCESS. STAFF WILL BE VERY MUCH INVOLVED AND WILL CERTAINLY BE TASKED WITH IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN. I THINK THAT WE NEED THIS BECAUSE DOWNTOWN IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF OUR WHOLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.

DOWNTOWN IS THE HEART OF A CIT . YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT PART. MY ONLY CONCERN ABOUT APPROVING THIS TONIGHT IS THAT WE DO HAVE A BRAND-NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DIRECTOR WHO HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO REALLY BE INVOLVED IN THIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW FROM THE CITY

MANAGER MAY BE WHETHER THAT WILL PLAN. >> THANK YOU.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH OUR NEW DIRECTOR IS ACTUALLY VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS TERM.

TO SOME DEGREE HE HAS ENDORSED THE SELECTION. THANK YOU FOR THAT

[02:15:04]

CONSIDERATION. >> COUNCILMEMBER BOWERS I WANT TO CLARIFY A COUPLE POINTS THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT THE PUBLIC. AXA COMES DIRECTLY FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND WHICH IS A SEPARATE FUND FROM HER GENERAL FUND WHICH WE USE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. THAT BEING SAID I THINK REGARDLESS OF THAT THIS IS AN INVESTMENT DOWNTOWN. I THINK IT WILL BENEFIT THE TRICK WILL BE ENSURING THAT WE FOLLOW-UP AND WE ENGAGE THE PLAN AND WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF IT AS THE COUNCIL AND LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY. IT'S GOING TO TAKE DRIVE AND COMMITMENT.

THAT'S WHY I MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS. THIS TAKES A HUGE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION THAT THE MAYOR SUGGESTED WHICH IS THAT WE HAVE TO INVEST IN OUR DOWNTOWN BECAUSE IT'S A KEY PART OF OUR CITY. I AM NOT TRYING TO SWAY YOUR

BOAT OR PUT YOU IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> SEEING NONE THEN WE WILL CALL THE BO THE VOTE.

>> THAT ITEM CARRY 71. >> ITEM 7 IS MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY REQUEST TOPICS

[7. MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY REQUEST TOPICS TO BE PLACED ON AN AGENDA FOR A SUBSEQUENT MEETING. ANY DELIBERATION OR DECISION SHALL BE LIMITED TO A PROPOSAL TO PLACE TOPIC ON THE AGENDA FOR A SUBSEQUENT MEETING. ]
