>> ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? >> WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO

[5. CITIZENS’ INPUT]

CITIZENS INPUT. COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ANY TOPIC. NO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL DURING

CITIZENS' INPUT. >> WE HAVE ONE, SHIRLEY MERRILL. COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE

MINUTES TO SPEAK. >> STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF

RESIDENCE.. >> I AM SHIRLEY ARROW. I LIVE AT 3101 MARKIN LANE HERE IN ROWLETT AND I AM A MEMBER AT THE RECREATIONAL CENTER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE RECREATIONAL CENTER AND OTHER EMPLOYEES. I AM HERE DUE TO THE FACT THAT ROWLETT IS CONSIDERED AN AARP FRIENDLY SOCIETY. IT MEANS THAT THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO THEIR SENIOR CITIZENS. MANY OF THE SENIOR CITIZENS THAT ARE PART OF THE RECREATIONAL CENTER ARE ON A LIMITED BUDGET WHICH MEANS THAT SOME OF THE FEES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AT THE REC CENTER ARE A LITTLE BIT MUCH. IF YOU WILL NOTICE, THERE ARE CLASSES THAT HAVE MONTHLY FEES OF $16 OR $20. THESE CLASSES ARE CLASSES THAT ARE NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO BE ATTENDED FOR WHATEVER PERSONAL REASONS.

IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, THEY ARE LOSING MONEY. ALSO THE FACT THAT IF THEY WANTED TO GO TO TWO CLASSES BY THE END OF THE YEAR, BY THE MONTHLY FEES, THEY WOULD BE PAYING OUT $432 A YEAR FOR SOMEBODY THAT IS ON A FIXED INCOME. I AM STILL WORKING WHICH, I AM STILL ELIGIBLE FOR THE SENIOR DISCOUNTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT BUT I AM THINKING OF THE WOMEN AND THE MEN THAT GO TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT RECREATIONAL CENTER THAT ARE DEPENDENT ON THE ACTIVITIES. THERE WAS YOGA.

THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN YOGA THAT HAVE PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND DEPEND ON THE ACTIVITIES AND THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT THEY DEVELOP, THAT THESE FEES ARE A HARDSHIP. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL FIND A BETTER WAY OF ACCRUING -- I KNOW THEY WANT A MONTHLY INCOME AND YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM. THE WORLD IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE BUT THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY OF ALLOWING TO BUDGET THE MONIES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THE RECREATIONAL CENTER. THEY COULD RAISE THE PRICE OF THE YEARLY FEE. THAT WAY YOU COULD BUDGET $35, $40. IT IS FAIRLY LOW RIGHT NOW. OR, THEY COULD USE THE PUNCHCARDS THAT WE ARE USED USING WHICH MEANS IT IS AS YOU NEED, AS YOU GO. JUST RAISED THE PRICE ON THAT AND THAT WAY THEY'RE NOT LOSING MONEY WITH THE PUNCHCARDS. THEY ARE STILL USING THE MONEY BUT THEY'RE USING IT WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO. I AM JUST ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP THEM LOOK AT A MONTHLY BUDGET THAT IS NOT SUCH A HARDSHIP FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON A FIXED INCOME. THAT IS THE GIST OF THE REASON WHY I AM HERE.

[00:10:04]

>> THANK YOU . WE WILL TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER?

>> ONE ADDITIONAL SPEAKER. MISSY SHELDON. STATE YOUR NAME

AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. >> CIRCLE. I CAME TO SUPPORT HER IN WHAT SHE IS SAYING. THE MAIN THING IS ELIMINATING THE PUNCHCARDS AT THE RECREATION CENTER. I DON'T FEEL THAT THE SENIORS WERE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE SURVEYED ON THEIR OPINION ON THAT. THE GREATEST THING, I THINK IT ELIMINATES WHEN YOU PULL PUNCHCARDS, IS THE FLEXIBILITY OF SCHEDULING THAT SENIORS NEED. THEY HAVE DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS. THEY MAY NEED TO GO VISIT THEIR GRANDCHILDREN. IT IS MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THAT THEY NEED FOR FLEXIBILITY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BUDGETING IS AN ISSUE AND THERE ARE RESOURCES THAT ARE USED. THERE IS A SWEET LADY THAT HAS BEEN TEACHING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS BUT THERE ARE OTHER ACTIVITIES AT THE REC CENTER THAT ALSO REQUIRE RESOURCES, BE IT GLOBAL BALLS OR THIS ADDITIONAL CUSTODIAL SERVICES. THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXPENSES. WHILE IT IS EASY TO JUDGE THE COST OF THE TEACHER IS THIS MUCH, ALL OF THE OTHER RESOURCES AT THE OTHER ACTIVITIES -- I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A PROPER ACCOUNTING TO SEE THAT THERE IS SOME LEVEL HERE AND THE REMOVAL OF THE PUNCHCARD IS REALLY -- IT JUST PULLS AWAY SO MUCH OF THE SENIORS' ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS. I THINK IT IS JUST -- WHY NOT CHARGE ALL THE ACTIVITIES BY PUNCHCARDS? BY HAVING A DAILY FEE, WHICH THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T DO THE MONTHLY FEE FOR THE ACTIVITY, THEY CAN CHARGE YOU A DAILY FEE FOR THAT ACTIVITY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH TO SCHEDULE THAT MONTH AND YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THAT MONTH IS. THE OTHER ACTIVITIES DON'T HAVE THAT. IF YOU ARE DOING IT FOR THIS ONE PARTICULAR, THE YOGA, THEN DO IT FOR ALL THE ACTIVITIES MAKE -- ACTIVITIES. MAKE ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES EQUITABLE. THAT IS IT.

>> THANK YOU. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER

[6. CONSENT AGENDA]

SPEAKERS? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. THE FOLLOWING MAY BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION. A CITY COUNCILMEMBER MAY REQUEST ITEMS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. DID YOU WANT TO PULL ANYTHING FOR INDIVIDUAL? DOES ANYBODY FROM THE AUDIENCE WISH TO PULL ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL? ALREADY. PLEASE READ THE ITEMS INTO THE RECORD.

[7A. Consider action to approve a resolution calling for a public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2025 proposed budget and tax rate for Tuesday September 17, 2024, and to consider approval of a proposed tax rate of $0.778612 for Fiscal Year 2025.]

UNANIMOUSLY. WE ARE NOW GOING INTO INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.

7 A , CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FISCAL YEAR 25 PROPOSED BUDGET AND TAX RATE FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 AND TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A PROPOSED TAX RATE OF $0.778612 FOR

FISCAL YEAR 2025. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. I AM HERE TONIGHT WITH A PRESENTATION FOR YOU TO CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE FISCAL YEAR 25 PROPOSED TAX RATE AND CALLING FOR AND SCHEDULING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET AND TAX RATE FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 OF THIS YEAR, 24. TRUTH IN TAXATION IS A CONCEPT THAT IS EMBODIED IN THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION AND THE TEXAS TAX CODE THAT REQUIRES LOCAL TAXING UNITS TO MAKE TAXPAYERS AWARE OF TAX RATE

[00:15:03]

POZO'S. THIS PROCESS STARTS BY THE DALLAS COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR'S OFFICE, CALCULATING AND CERTIFYING OUR NO NEW REVENUE AND VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATES . USING THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER TAX RATE CALCULATION WORKSHEET AND THE JULY 24 CERTIFIED VALUES THAT ARE PROVIDED, THE FISCAL YEAR 25 RATES ARE CALCULATED BY DALLAS COUNTY THIS YEAR ON JULY 30 AND SUBMITTED TO CITY STAFF. TONIGHT, WITH THOSE RATES IN MIND, COUNCIL WILL VOTE TO SET THE PROPOSED RATE TO PUBLISH FOR THE TAX RATE HEARING PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSED TAX RATE IS TO PROVIDE A CEILING, OR THE MAXIMUM RATE THAT THE COUNCIL WILL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. COUNCIL IS NOT ADOPTING THE ACTUAL TAX RATE TONIGHT AND IS NOT REQUIRED TO EVEN ADOPT THIS TAX RATE THAT YOU ARE SETTING AS THE PROPOSED RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025. THIS IS ONLY FOR PUBLICATION AND FOR A LIMITATION PURPOSE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS FROM NOW UNTIL WE ADOPT THE BUDGET LATER ON IN SEPTEMBER. LEE, WE WILL END THE PROCESS WITH A TAX RATE HEARING, A REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 AND THEN ADOPT FISCAL YEAR 2025 TAX RATE AT A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. HERE ARE SOME OPTIONS FOR THE PROPOSED TAX RATE AS SHOWN IN THE SECOND COLUMN. FISCAL YEAR 25 CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET TO BE PRESENTED NEXT WEDNESDAY HAS BEEN PREPARED WITH A TAX RATE OF 76.9691. AS A COMBINATION OF COUNCIL BUDGET DISCUSSIONS ON JUNE 17 AND JULY 15 AND SUBSEQUENT CERTIFIED VALUES THAT WERE RELEASED BY THE CENTRAL DISTRICT'S. THIS RATE MAINTAINS THE CURRENT RATE OF 53.134 AND IT INCREASES THE RATE TO 2023.850 WHICH WAS APPROVED BY VOTERS IN THE 2023 ELECTION. THEN NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE SHOWN IN THE THIRD COLUMN IS A CALCULATED RATE THAT WOULD PROVIDE THE CITY WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE IT RECEIVES IN THE YEAR BEFORE ON THE SAME PROPERTIES THAT WERE TAXED ON BOTH YEARS. IF PRETTY VALUES ARISE, THEN THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE WILL GO DOWN AND VICE VERSA. THIS RATE IS CALCULATED BY DALLAS COUNTY AT A TOTAL OF 69.2442. THEN, FINALLY, THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE SHOWN IN THE LAST COLUMN PROVIDES A TAXING UNIT WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAX REVENUE IT SPENT THE PREVIOUS YEAR PER DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS PLUS A 3.5% INCREASE FOR THOSE OPERATIONS IN ADDITION TO THE UNUSED INCREMENT RATE AND SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO PAY DEBT SERVICE IN THE COMING YEAR. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE ALSO REPRESENTS THE MAXIMUM RATE THAT THE COUNCIL CAN ADOPT WITHOUT BEING SUBJECT TO AN AUTOMATIC ELECTION IN NOVEMBER AT THE UNIFORM ELECTION DATE. THIS RATE IS CALCULATED BY DALLAS COUNTY AT A TOTAL OF 77.7. TONIGHT, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVING AND PUBLISHING THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE OF .778612 AS THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WHICH IS COMPRISED OF AN OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE TAX RATE OF .50262 AND A DEBT SERVICE OR AN INS TAX SERVICE RATE OF .238350 PER $100 OF TAXABLE VALUE. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW COUNCIL THE OPTION TO ADOPT UP TO THAT RATE ON A SEPTEMBER 18 IF DESIRED . AT THIS TIME, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN OPEN THE FLOOR FOR COUNCIL ACTION TO VOTE ON A PROPOSED TAX RATE OR TO PUBLISH AND THEN CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS ON FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET AND TAX RATES TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER

17, 2024 AT 7:00 P.M. >> THANK YOU. AS YOU STATED, THIS IS A STANDARD FORM FOR US EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS WHERE WE VOTE TO SET THE RATE CEILING TO BE PUBLISHED. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WILL HAPPEN, WON'T HAPPEN. JUST NORMAL PRACTICE FOR ALMOST EVERY CITY IN TEXAS. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY COMMENTS? SHINDER?

>> THANK YOU FOR SCHEDULING THAT PUBLIC HEARING ON MY BIRTHDAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE OUT THERE UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE JUST SAID , WHICH IS THAT WE ARE VOTING ONLY ON A RESOLUTION TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. WE ARE NOT VOTING ON THE TAX RATE. WE HAVE TO, UNDER STATE LAW, PUBLISH

[00:20:03]

THAT MAXIMUM TAX RATE . IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I OR ANYONE ELSE WILL VOTE FOR THAT MAXIMUM TAX RATE.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THIS WILL NOW OPEN THE HEARING.

SORRY. THAT IS FOR LATER. JUST TRYING TO BE VERY CAREFUL. ALL RIGHT. THEN, I WILL INITIATE A MOTION. SHINDER?

>> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET AND TAX RATE FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A PROPOSED MAXIMUM TAX RATE OF $0.778612 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025.

>> BRITTON? >> I SECOND THAT.

>> ANY DISCUSSION? CALLED THE BOAT MAC. -- VOTE

[7B. Consider and take action on a request by Scott Caruthers, on behalf property owner Melvin Bullitt for an amendment to the Bullitt Multisport Complex Regulating Plan, including warrants to allow for athletic fields and associated amenities. The site is located south of Old Princeton Road and North of Liberty Road and is addressed as 8700 Princeton Road in the James M. Hamilton Abstract Number 0544 in the City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.]

>> THE ITEM CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU.

>> WE ARE NOW GOING TO MOVE ON TO 7 B, CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON A REQUEST BY SCOTT CARRUTHERS ON BEHALF OF PROPERTY OWNER MELVIN BULLET FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE BULLITT MULTISPORT COMPLEX REGULATING PLAN INCLUDING WARRANTS TO ALLOW FOR ATHLETIC FIELDS AND ASSOCIATED AMENITIES. THE SITE IS LOCATED SOUTH OF OLD PRINCETON ROAD AND NORTH OF LIBERTY GROVE AND IS ADDRESSED AS 8700 PRINCETON ROAD IN THE JAMES M. HAMILTON ABSTRACT NUMBER 0544 IN THE CITY OF

ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS >> GOOD EVENING. I WILL BE PRESENTING TODAY THIS REGULATING PLANNED AMENDMENT FOR THE BULLITT MULTISPORT FACILITY. JUST TO PROVIDE YOU BACKGROUND ON THIS ITEM, THE PROPERTY IS 10 ACRES. IT IS LOCATED NORTH OF LIBERTY GROVE ROAD AND THE ADDRESS IS 8700 PRINCETON ROAD AND IT IS ZONED . JUST TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT OF WHAT IT IS SURROUNDED BY, IT IS SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST END TO THE NORTH AND THEY ARE BOTH ZONED FOR URBAN VILLAGE. EXCUSE ME, NEW NEIGHBORHOOD. TO THE WEST, YOU WILL FIND RESIDENTIAL ZONING AGAIN AS NEIGHBORHOOD. TO THE SOUTH, COMMERCIAL USE ZONED URBAN VILLAGE . ADDITIONALLY, THIS REGULATING PLAN WAS SUBMITTED IN 2024 AND APPROVED FOR THREE-PHASE DEVELOPMENT ENCOMPASSING A MULTISPORT COMPLEX WHICH INCLUDES MIXED-USE BUILDINGS AND A RECREATIONAL AMENITIES. IN 2020, THE APPLICANT DECIDED TO AMEND THE PLAN TO INCLUDE BATTING CAGES. THERE WAS STILL THAT FREE -- THREE PHASING PROGRAM THAT WAS INCORPORATED BUT IN THE THREE PHASES, PHASE 1 INCLUDED A 21,000 SQUARE FOOT MULTISPORT COMPLEX. 40,640 SQUARE FEET OF OPEN SPACE, 3500 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR TRAINING FACILITIES, A BATTING CAGE THAT NEVER CAME TO FRUITION. IN PHASE 2, THEY INCORPORATED 20 THREE STORY TOWNHOMES, FOUR TWO STORY MIXED-USE BUILDINGS, 13,000 SQUARE FEET OF OPEN SPACE AND A 60 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY THAT WOULD INCLUDE A BIKING PATH THAT EXTENDED FROM LIBERTY GROVE. IN PHASE THREE, THEY INCORPORATED ALSO THREE TWO STORY MIXED-USE BUILDINGS . THAT IS CURRENTLY ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW, THE CURRENT REGULATING PLAN THAT PROVIDED THAT PROGRAMMING THAT I JUST WENT THROUGH A DIFFERENT MIXED USES THAT WERE INCORPORATED IN THE OPEN SPACE. I WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

>> TODAY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO AMEND THE EXISTING REGULATING PLAN. THIS WOULD REMOVE THOSE PROPOSED PROGRAMS AND INCLUDE A TURF ATHLETIC FIELD, AN EIGHT-FOOT CHAIN-LINK FENCE TO CHANGE THE BLOCK SIZE, LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING AND THEN ALSO ADD 59 PARKING SPACES TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TURF FIELD. HERE IS THE PROPOSED AMENDING REGULATING PLAN THAT THEY ARE INCORPORATING. THE TURF FIELD WOULD BE ABOUT 160,000 SQUARE FEET THAT WOULD BE INCORPORATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WHAT WILL REMAIN IS

[00:25:09]

STILL THE MULTIUSE COMPLEX AND THE SAND COURTS IN THE OPEN SPACE. FOR THIS ITEM, THERE ARE WARRANTS REQUIRED. THE FIRST WARRANT THEY WILL BE REQUIRING IS THE ATHLETIC FIELD, PARKING FOR THE 59 PARKING SPACES WHICH IS REQUIRED IN THE FORM-BASED CODE TO HAVE THE MINOR WARRANT FOR PARKING FOR OTHER TYPES OF USES. THE BLOCK SIDE CONFIGURATION, THEY PLAN TO EXCEED THE 400 FEET REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A BLOCK SIZE AT 508 FEET IN LENGTH. THEY ALSO ARE PROPOSING TO INSTALL LIGHTING THAT MAY REACH UP TO 40 FEET TALL. IN CODE, LIGHTING IS RECOMMENDED FOR BOWLERS BECAUSE IT SPEAKS TO THE PEDESTRIAN.

FENCING, BLACK CHAIN-LINK FENCE. WITH THE CHAIN-LINK FENCE, IT WOULD REQUIRE LANDSCAPING. THEY ARE PROPOSING NOT TO PROVIDE LANDSCAPING WITH THAT EIGHT-FOOT CHAIN-LINK FENCE . THEN, WITH LANDSCAPING, THEY ARE NOT PROPOSING LANDSCAPING THAT WOULD BE ALONG PRINCETON ROAD AND A SIDEWALK THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE PRINCETON ROAD AREA, ADJACENT TO THE NEW PROPOSED PARKING LOT THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING.

HOWEVER, IN THE CENTER, THEY WILL PROVIDE LANDSCAPING THAT WILL MIMIC THE OTHER SIDE BY THE MULTISPORT COMPLEX. WITH THAT LIST OF MINOR WARRANTS THAT WE HAVE, IT IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THOSE FOR THE FIELD, PARKING AND ASSOCIATED AMENDMENTS PROVIDING THE CHANGES. IT WILL ELIMINATE THE PROPOSED USE FOR THE TOWNHOMES AND THE MIXED USES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY IN THE REGULATING PLAN AND WILL ONLY DEVELOP IN TWO PHASES. PHASE 1 IS ALREADY COMPLETED AND THEN PHASE 2 WOULD BE THIS LAST REMAINING PORTION OF THE FIELD AND THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE WARRANT OF THE FOLLOWING FOR THE USE OF LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING, FENCING BLOCK SIZE AND CONFIGURATION AND PARKING. ONE ITEM FOR THE PARKING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS IS THAT THERE WERE 400 PARKING SPACES THAT WERE BEING REQUESTED FOR THIS. ON THE REGULAR EATING PLAN, IT IS 152 PARKING SPACES THAT ARE BEING REQUIRED TO BE PROPOSED. THE APPLICANT, BECAUSE IT IS THEIR DOCUMENT THAT THEY CREATED, IT IS NOT AMENDED UNLESS THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO AMEND IT. IN TOTAL, THERE WOULD BE 152 PARKING SPACES OVERALL FOR THIS PROGRAM. P NZ DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL AT THEIR JULY 23 MEETING AND IT WAS UNANIMOUS. APPROVAL OF THE REGULATING PLAN FOR THE RECOMMENDATION, WE DO REQUEST THAT IT IS APPROVED AS PRESENTED WITH ALL REQUESTED WARRANTS INCLUDED IN THERE. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I AM AVAILABLE. ALSO, THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO ANY ITEMS WITH THIS REQUEST.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. IF YOU WILL CLEAR UP FOR ME A LITTLE BIT, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THE FENCE, THE CHAIN-LINK FENCE. IS THERE A REASON OR -- WHAT IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND NOT LANDSCAPING IT?

>> I WILL ASK THE APPLICANT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE PROPOSING THE EIGHT-FOOT CHAIN-LINK FENCE AND NOT PUTTING IN THE LANDSCAPING EVEN THOUGH IT IS REQUIRED BY OUR CODE. I WILL ASK FOR THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK TO THAT.

>> OKAY. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS MELVIN BULLITT . I SAW EVERYONE ELSE GIVE THEIR ADDRESS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME. WITH TURF, YOU HAVE TO KEEP A FEW THINGS AWAY FROM IT AT ALL TIMES. UNMONITORED ADULTS, ANIMALS, AND ANY TYPE OF GRASS, LEAVES , ANY TYPE OF PLANT LIFE BECAUSE ONCE IT GETS TO THAT TURF AND GROWS UNDERNEATH IT, YOU HAVE TO TEAR UP TOO MUCH AND THE COST IS REALLY BAD.

>> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WHERE EXACTLY -- WE SEE THE TWO FIELDS LAID OUT. IS THAT SPECIFICALLY WHERE THE FENCE IS

GOING? >> IT WILL GO DIRECTLY AROUND

[00:30:04]

THE FIELD. >> THAT IS THE ONLY PLACE IT

WILL GO? >> YES, SIR.

>> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER REAVES?

>> I MIGHT HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I LOVE THE CONCEPT . THANK YOU FOR INVESTING IN ROWLETT. I HAVE A QUESTION AROUND THE LIGHTING AND THE CONCERN FOR THE NEIGHBORS. I WENT AND DROVE OVER THERE AFTER DARK AND IT IS REALLY DARK . I SAW IN THE PACKET YOU HAVE SOME SPECIFIC LIGHTING TO REALLY ANGULATE THE LIGHTING AND ALL OF THAT. MUCH GLARE AND SPILLOVER WOULD THERE BE AND WOULD THAT BE A LOT OF EXTRA AROUND THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE TO THE NORTH AND WEST THERE?

>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. THE NUMBER ONE THING I DID WAS I MADE SURE TO GET THE BEST. THE PERSON THAT WE HAVE THAT IS UTILIZING THAT IS PROVIDE SOLUTIONS. THEY SPECIALIZE IN SPORTING FIELDS. THERE IS LESS THAN 2 FEET CANDLES OF SPILLAGE OUTSIDE OF IT. IT WILL BE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WALKING ALONG THE STREET AND GETTING TO VIEW IT, IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL BUT IT WILL NEVER GET OUTSIDE OF THAT.

>> FOR THE PARKING LOT, WILL THAT HAVE LIGHTING AS WELL?

>> YES. I WOULD ASSUME WE HAVE TO PUT LIGHTING AND ONCE WE

TURN THESE PLANS AND. >> WITH THE PARKING LOT -- I WILL STRIKE THAT QUESTION. AS FAR AS THE LIGHTS, WITH A REMAIN ON ALL NIGHTER WITH THEY ONLY BE ON DURING HOURS OF

OPERATION? >> HOURS OF OPERATION UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPLIT THAT BILL WITH ME.

>> GOOD ANSWER. >> YOU HAD MENTIONED THE 40 FOOT LIGHTING BUT THE PACKET SAID 50 FOOT. WILLOUGHBY 50

FOOT OR 40 FOOT? >> 50.

>> THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

>> SHINDER? >> THIS QUESTION IS FOR STAFF .

THIS SEEMS LIKE A REALLY BIG CHANGE. WE ARE ELIMINATING THE TOWNHOMES. WE ARE ELIMINATING THE MIXED-USE BUILDING. HAS ANYONE LOOKED AT WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR PROPERTY TAX

REVENUES BETWEEN THAT AND THIS? >> UNFORTUNATELY, NO. WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THESE ZONING PROJECTS, WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS. THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN CONSIDER IN OUR DECISION-MAKING BUT WE HAVE NOT TRIED TO PROJECT THOSE NUMBERS. IT IS NOT LIKE WE HAVE SOMETHING EXISTING THAT WE CAN COMPARE AGAINST. IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO LOOK AT WHAT THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MIGHT YIELD WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE FOR WHEN I MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

>> GOTCHA. >> WILL THE ATHLETIC FIELDS -- IS THERE ANY PLAN IN THE FUTURE TO BRING BACK ANY OF THESE

OTHER USES? >> THIS WOULD BE THE PROPOSED ULTIMATE DEVELOPMENT. THEY WOULD BE REMOVING THE THIRD PHASE ENTIRELY AND THIS REALLY TAKES UP THE ENTIRETY OF THE OPEN SPACE THAT IS LEFT FOR THIS PROJECT BETWEEN THE FIELDS AND THE PARKING. THERE IS A LITTLE SLIVER LEFT BUT IT IS

NOT DEVELOPABLE LAND. >> THANK YOU.

>> BRITTON? >> THANK YOU. REAVES BEAT ME TO THE QUESTION ON THE LIGHTING. YOU MENTIONED IT WOULD ONLY BE ON DURING OPERATION. WHAT IS THE LATEST THAT THE LIGHTS

WOULD BE ON EACH NIGHT? >> WELL, THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD MAKE SURE TO DO IS -- I LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY RIGHT NEXT DOOR. THE FIRST THING I WILL DO IS LET EVERYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. SECONDLY, I WILL LET OUR TEAMS KNOW THAT WE STOP AT THIS TIME. WOULD SAY IT IS SUMMERTIME WHERE IT IS LIGHT UNTIL 9:00. TYPICALLY, 10:00 PNAS A GOOD HOUR. DURING WINTERTIME WHEN IT IS DARK AT 5:00, 9:30 IS A GOOD HOUR BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE FIT IN WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

>> WHAT TYPE OF LIGHTING ARE YOU CONSIDERING?

>> L.E.D. SPORTS LIGHTING. THIS IS TOP-OF-THE-LINE.

>> THANK YOU. >> THE MAYOR HAD TO STEP OUT FOR JUST A MOMENT BUT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. I HAVE BEEN OVER TO YOUR PROPERTY AND I HAVE WALKED YOUR FACILITY AND WE HAVE TAKEN A WALK OUTSIDE. THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE THERE IS ALREADY DIRT THAT HAS BEEN MOVED ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. I AM HOPING THAT YOU CAN TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRIEFLY WALK COUNCIL THROUGH HOW YOU GOT TO THIS POINT AND WHY WE ARE IN THIS POSITION TODAY.

>> UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS A LACK FROM MULTIPLE SIDES. I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH MYSELF, JUST FOR A LACK OF

[00:35:02]

INTELLIGENCE AND UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS OF WHAT IT TAKES TO GO THROUGH THIS TYPE OF PROJECT. WHEN I FIRST WENT THROUGH MY FACILITY, I WAS EXTREMELY NEW TO REAL ESTATE, PROJECT DEVELOPMENT BUT THEN GOING OVER TO BUILDING OUR FIELDS, HAVING GONE THROUGH THE WHOLE THING KNOWING THAT I AM NOT GOING VERTICAL, SO ME DIFFERENT THINGS, JUST CHANGES ON THE SURFACE, THERE IS A LOT OF MISCOMMUNICATION AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED WITH MYSELF AND SOME OF THE CURRENT CITY MEMBERS THAT WERE IN AND OUT AT THE TIME AND IT COST US A LOT OF REVENUE TO THE POINT WHERE WE POSSIBLY WERE AT THE POINT OF SHUTTING DOWN. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T WANT.

OUR FIELDS, BEFORE THEY WERE TURF, WAS THE LIFELINE OF OUR FACILITIES. AS WE HAVE LOST THEM OVER THESE PAST MONTHS, WE HAVE LOST ABOUT 70% OF OUR REVENUE. FOR US TO BE ABLE TO STAY OPEN DURING THIS TIME PERIOD HAS BEEN VERY TOUGH.

WITH THE BLESSING OF YOU GUYS, US BEING ABLE TO HAVE TURF FIELDS, NOT ONLY WILL IT BENEFIT OUR FAMILY AND OUR BUSINESS BUT IT WILL ALSO BENEFIT THE CITY. THE ROWLETT SOCCER ASSOCIATION , IF THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS IN THE BACKYARD, WE COULD HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST SOCCER ASSOCIATIONS IN THE METROPLEX. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE WE CAN DO AS FAR AS FESTIVALS AND ACTIVITIES WITH THE CITY. EVEN WITH THE ROWLETT RECREATION CENTER, THERE IS ÚMORE THAN WHAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO OFFER. WE NEED RESOURCES AND WE NEED SOMETHING THAT MATCHES THE AREA. THE PREVIOUS REGULATING PLAN, I NEVER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT. DID NOT KNOW THAT HAVING A BILL REGULATING PLAN. WHEN I FIRST BUILT THIS FACILITY, I MADE A VIDEO ABOUT US ONE DAY HAVING THE TURF FIELDS. WHEN WE STARTED DOING IT, THEY SAID WE CAN DO IT. I AM NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING HOMES OR REAL ESTATE, I AM IN THE BUSINESS OF BUILDING KIDS UP WITH SPORTS. WITH MY STAKES AND MY PROPERTY, I BELIEVE THAT GOD PUT ME IN THE SPACE TO DO THIS AND THAT IS WHAT WE WILL TRY TO DO.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK. WOULD YOU WALK US THROUGH HOW LONG YOU'VE HAD THE VISION TO HAVE THE FIELD THERE? HAS THIS

BEEN A LONG-TERM THING? >> YOU TALK ABOUT OVERALL, THIS IS A LIFETIME PLAN WITH MY DAD FROM OVER 10 YEARS AGO BUT MOST RECENTLY, THIS IS ABOUT A FIVE YEAR PROJECT. WE HAVE GOTTEN RIGHT TO THE LAST 100 METERS AND A 400 METER RACE AND WE ARE

TRYING TO FINISH. >> IS THERE A PLAN TO HAVE BLEACHERS OR ANYTHING AROUND THE FIELD AREA?

>> NO. WE DO NOT PLAN TO HAVE BLEACHERS AROUND. SAFETY IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON. NUMBER TWO, SPACE. IS EVERYONE CAN SEE ON HERE, IT IS PRETTY TIGHT. THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT I HAD FOR THE USAGE OF THE AREA. DURING THE DAYTIME WHEN KIDS ARE AT SCHOOL, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF. I LIKE TO TRY TO SPRINT BUT THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR ME TO SPRINT THAT IS EVEN GRASS, SOMEWHERE I CAN GO RUN AND MAYBE TAKE MY SHOES OFF. WITH A TURF FIELD, YOU CAN DO THAT. I WANT TO OFFER THAT TO THE COMMUNITY AT A MUCH LOWER RATE. OUR DOLTS AND STAY-AT-HOME MOMS AND STAY-AT-HOME DADS OR RETIRED WORKERS CAN GO IN AND USE THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE, OUR

FIELD. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS? SHINDER? >> I JUST WANTED TO ASK. YOU SAY YOU LIVE THERE BY THE PROPERTY.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> I KNOW THIS IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE NOTIFIED BUT HAVE YOU TALKED TO ANY OF YOUR

NEIGHBORS? >> I DO FREQUENTLY. THEY ASK ME WHAT IS GOING ON. I AM VERY TRANSPARENT AND TELL THEM I AM WORKING AS HARD AS I CAN TO GET THE TURF FIELDS DONE AND I AM GETTING VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. THANK YOU.

>> A QUESTION FOR STAFF, IF I MAY. IS THERE CURRENTLY A FENCE AROUND THE PROPERTY SINCE THERE IS SOIL THAT HAS BEEN MOVED? WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION GOES, SHOULD

THIS BE APPROVED? >> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, WE DO NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION PERMIT OUT SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.

>> GOT IT. THANK YOU. >> WE WOULD REQUIRE THAT WITH

CONSTRUCTION WHEN IT OCCURS. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING SO I BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE POSITION TO ENTERTAIN A MOTIO.

>> REAVES? >> MOTION TO APPROVE -- DO I HAVE TO READ THIS WHOLE THING? I WILL JUST READ IT. MAKE A

[00:40:02]

MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY SCOTT CARRUTHERS ON BEHALF OF'S PROPERTY OWNER MELVIN BULLITT FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE BULLITT MULTISPORT COMPLEX REGULATING PLAN PLAN INCLUDING WARRANTS TO ALLOW PROPHETIC FIELDS AND ASSOCIATED AMENITIES . THE SITE IS LOCATED SOUTH OF OLD PRINCETON ROAD AND NORTH OF LIBERTY ROAD AND IS ADDRESSED AT 8700 PRINCETON ROAD IN THE JAMES M. HAMILTON ABSTRACT NUMBER 0544 IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS .

>> DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> MARGOLIS?

>> I SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. DISCUSSION? NO DISCUSSION? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF BECAUSE THERE WAS MADE MENTION OF A POTENTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE RELATING PLAN WITH REGARDS TO PARKING SPACES. DOES NOT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR MOTION

LANGUAGE TO AMEND THAT? >> ALL OF THESE WARRANTS FOR YOU TONIGHT WERE MINOR WARRANTS THAT COULD BE APPROVED ADMINISTRATIVELY BUT WE BROUGHT THEM BEFORE YOU TO GET YOUR BLESSING. I BELIEVE WE HAVE ENOUGH DIRECTION WITH ALL OF THE AMENITIES INCLUDED TO CONSIDER THAT APPROVED.

>> THE LANGUAGE IN THE RELATING PLAN THAT SAYS 450 P■ARKING SPACES WILL NOT HAMSTRING THE PROCESS FROM THIS POINT?

>> WE WILL CORRECT THAT. THANK YOU.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? LET'S CALL THE VOTE. AND, CAN WE MARK MAYOR MARGOLIS AS ABSENT? WE WILL SAY THAT THAT VOTE PAST, 6-0 WITH ONE ABSTENTION AS THE MAYOR -- WITH ONE ABSENCE, EXCUSE ME. THE MAYOR HAS STEPPED OUT OF

THE MEETING. THANK YOU. >> PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. WE WILL

[7C. Consider action to approve an ordinance amending Section 10 Article 4 of the Code of Ordinances regarding temporary batching plants.]

NOW MOVE TO ITEM 7 C, CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 10 ARTICLE 4 REGARDING TEMPORARY BATCHING PLANTS. WHO WILL BE MAKING THAT PRESENTATION?

>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TONIGHT. I HOPE THAT THIS MEETS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN EXPECTING. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT AN UPDATE TO THE ORDINANCE REGARDING TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS IN THE CITY. THIS BEGAN AT A WORK SESSION IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR WHERE THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT AMENDING THE PROCESS IN A WAY THAT COULD GRANT A LITTLE MORE SCRUTINY OR DISCRETION, WHETHER THAT BE STAFF OR COUNCIL LEVEL. THE DIRECTION FROM THAT MEETING WAS TO MAKE SOME AMENDMENTS TO THE ORDINANCE TO THE TEMPORARY USE PERMIT PROCESS. I AM GOING TO TALK THROUGH THOSE CHANGES AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE ORDINANCE AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD YOUR DIRECTION SO WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL CHANGES. THE CURRENT REGULATIONS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW ALLOW FOR -- REQUIRE STAFF APPROVAL FOR ANY TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS THAT ARE APPLIED FOR THAT HER OVER 300 FEET FROM ANY OCCUPIED RESIDENCE. THAT IS WHAT IS ON THE BOOKS NOW. GOES FOR STAFF FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL AND THERE IS NO TRIGGER FOR ANY MECHANISM BY WHICH THEY WOULD COME TO COUNCIL AT ANY DISTANCE FROM HER RESIDENCE. THE PROPOSED CHANGES INCLUDE ONLY ALLOWING STAFF APPROVAL FOR THOSE WHICH ARE 2000 FEET OR MORE FROM AN OCCUPIED RESIDENCE. IF IT IS OVER 2000 FEET, THEN STAFF WOULD GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS TODAY AND REVIEWING THE APPLICATION AND APPROVING IT IF THEY BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS MET.

WE DO HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL CHANGE THAT WE ADDED IN BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT I HEARD AT THE MEETING IN OCTOBER WHICH WAS RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO THE DUST MITIGATION AND SOME ADDITIONAL STORMWATER PREVENTION PRACTICES. IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS CONCERN THAT ANYTHING UNDER ONE ACRE WOULD NOT BE REQUIRING THAT. THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR US TO REQUIRE THAT WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE SITE AND WE WOULD GO THROUGH A FULL INTERNAL REVIEW ON THESE TO MAKE SURE EVERY THING IS COMPLIANT. FOR THOSE THAT ARE APPLIED FOR THAT ARE UNDER 2000 FEET BUT OVER 500 FEET, THOSE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE REVIEWED BY STAFF AND PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE WE HEARD FROM THAT OCTOBER MEETING THAT YOU WANT PERMIT APPLICATIONS TO COME BEFORE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC, NOTIFY THOSE WITHIN THE AREA AND MAKE SURE YOU HAD ALL OF THE FACTS ON THE TABLE BEFORE MAKING DECISIONS. THERE MAY BE SOME

[00:45:05]

DISCUSSIONS ON WHICH SITE MIGHT BE THE BEST LOCATION AND ANY OTHER SPECIFIC THINGS OR REGULATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU APPROVE IT. IT GIVES YOU MORE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY. IF YOU NOTICE HERE, THIS ALSO SAYS OVER 500 FEET. UNDER 500 FEET IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT ORDINANCE. RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T ALLOW THEM WITHIN 300 FEET. THIS WOULD RAISE IT TO 500. THAT WAS A PRETTY CLEAR DIRECTION IN THE MEETING THAT YOU WANTED TO RAISE THAT INITIAL BUFFER AREA TO TRY TO LIMIT THOSE THAT ARE PROPOSED WITHIN THE 500TH THE DISTANCE OF RESIDENCES. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT INTERNALLY A LITTLE BIT AND WE FEEL THERE MAY BE SOME INSTANCES WHERE IT MIGHT BE THE BEST OPTION WITHIN 500 FEET. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS AN ABILITY TO CONSIDER THAT AND YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN YOURSELF OUT OF THE ABILITY TO GRANT THAT. WHILE THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN NOT TO ALLOW THE TEMPORARY BATCH IS WITHIN 500 FEET OF ANY OCCUPIED RESIDENCE, THE PROCESS WOULD STILL ALLOW FOR SOMEBODY TO APPLY FOR THAT BATCH PLANT.

STAFF WOULD DENY IT AS WE ARE REQUIRED TO BUY ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT IS NEAR 500 FEET BUT THEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE PROCESS OF BEING ABLE TO APPEAL IT AND THE APPEAL WOULD COME DIRECTLY TO YOU. THE APPEAL WOULD STILL GIVE YOU THAT ABILITY TO MAKE THAT DECISION. IT WOULD DISCOURAGE THEM WITHIN 500 FEET, WHICH IS THE INTENT BUT IT WOULD ALLOW YOU THE ROOM FOR DISCRETION TO ALLOW THEM UNDER HUNDRED FEET. LET ME GO BACK A SLIDE HERE. ANY OF THEM THAT ARE UNDER 2000 FEET, WE WOULD FOLLOW THE ZONING NOTICES FOR PUBLIC HEARING. THE NOTICES WOULD GO TO THOSE WITHIN THE 200 BUT COURTESY AREA JUST LIKE WE DO FOR ALL OF OUR OTHER ZONING NOTICES. FOR THOSE THAT ARE OVER 500 FEET FROM A RESIDENCE, I DON'T ANTICIPATE YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME OUT TO THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS. WE SEE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR SENDING NOTICES BECAUSE THEY ARE RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT. WE WILL FOLLOW THAT PROCESS AND NOTIFY EVERYBODY, WHETHER IT IS A BUSINESS AREA OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE BUT I DON'T ANTICIPATE A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THOSE. ARE THOSE THAT ARE UNDER 500 FEET FROM A RESIDENCE, WE KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE RESIDENTS WHO WILL BE IMPACTED BY DISPATCH PLANT IN THE AREA THAT WILL RECEIVE THE NOTICE. IN THOSE INSTANCES, WE ANTICIPATE WE WILL HAVE MORE PUBLIC FEEDBACK WHICH IS YOUR INTENT OF WANTING US TO GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. THIS IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A GRAPHIC. WE ARE SAYING WITHIN 500 FEET OF ANY OCCUPIED RESIDENCES WOULD REQUIRE A DENIAL BY STAFF AND THEN CONSIDERATION BY COUNCIL. OUTSIDE OF 500 FEET, IT WOULD COME DIRECTLY TO YOU FOR REVIEW AFTER WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR REVIEW AND PROVIDING A REPORT. OUTSIDE OF 2000 FEET FOR MANY RESIDENCES WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE APPROVED BY STAFF INTERNALLY. WE MAY STILL DENY THEM OVER 2000 FEET FROM A RESIDENCE IF IT DOES NOT MEET ALL OF THE OTHER ASPECTS. IN WHICH CASE, IT MAY BE APPEALED TO YOU JUST LIKE THOSE THAT ARE UNDER 500 FEET FROM A RESIDENCE. THIS HAS A COMPANION ITEM WHICH IS THE FEE SCHEDULE AMENDMENT RELATED TO TEMPORARY BATCH PLANTS. THIS IS JUST EXPLAINING THE PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW FEE STRUCTURE. ALL OF THEM ARE CURRENTLY $350 AND IT WOULD GIVE IT SOMEONE OF A GRADUATED APPROACH. THOSE THAT ARE APPROVED BY STAFF WOULD BE $350 AND WE WOULD RAISE IT UP TO $1000 FOR THOSE THAT ARE APPROVED BY COUNCIL DIRECTLY.

THAT IS JUST DUE TO THE ADDITIONAL WORK AND NOTICING REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE AND THEN, A LITTLE BIT HIGHER FOR THOSE THAT ARE UNDER 500 FEET THAT MIGHT APPEAL TO YOU. THAT IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THE TIME IT TAKES TO DEAL WITH THE RESIDENTS AND EXPLAINING TO THEM THE STEPS OF THE PROCESS AND HOW THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEY COMMUNICATE TO YOU. THAT IS OUR PROPOSED FEE STRUCTURE CHANGE AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE AND THE RESOLUTION.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. QUESTIONS?

SHINDER? >> QUESTION ABOUT SECTION 10-105B. IT SAYS THE MAXIMUM TIME PERIOD FOR PERMITS WITH TEMPORARY BATCH PLANT IS SIX MONTHS. THEN IT SAYS A SIX-MONTH EXTENSION MAY BE GRANTED. DOES THAT APPLY TO THOSE THAT COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AS WELL? IF SO, WOULD THAT BE GRANTED BY THE COUNCIL OR THE STAFF?

>> ANY OF THE EXTENSION WOULD BE GRANTED BY THE BODY THAT GIVES THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL. STAFF APPROVAL STOP AND COUNCIL APPROVAL WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THE

[00:50:10]

PRESENTATION. WHERE WAS I GOING WITH THIS? EARLY ON IN THE PRESENTATION, YOU TALKED ABOUT FUGITIVE DUST AND STORMWATER ISSUES. HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM A STANDARD PLAN? I AM NOT FOLLOWING WHY THAT IS A SPECIAL THING.

>> THERE WAS A COMMENT IN THE WORK SESSION THAT YOU HAD ABOUT REQUIRING A PLAN TO BE SUBMITTED FOR THOSE OVER ONE ACRE . WHILE I DON'T THINK IT IS LIKELY THAT YOU MIGHT SEE A LOT UNDER ONE ACRE, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE EXTRA LAYERS FOR PROTECTION. IT WOULD BE AS REQUIRING THAT AS PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS RATHER THAN BEFORE IT IS

APPROVED. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. WHEN I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT THIS FORWARD -- I AM GLAD IT TOOK THIS LONG BECAUSE IT GOD INTO YOUR HANDS AND YOU WERE ABLE TO DELIVER ON THE VISION. THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM. I AM GLAD WE ARE WHERE WE ARE TODAY BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD ENVISIONED. COUNCILMEMBER BOWERS?

>> I NEED TO WAIT FOR THE COMMENT PERIOD, NOT THE

QUESTION PERIOD. >> IN THAT CASE, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, WE CAN ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 10, ARTICLE 4 REGARDING TEMPORARY BATCHING PLANTS.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER SCHUPP. YOUR BUTTON IS FLASHING BUT YOU ARE NOT -- CAN YOU PUSH

IT AGAIN? >> I SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY SHINDER AND A SECOND BY SCHUPP TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. ANY DISCUSSION?

>> THESE BUTTONS. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AFTER WE HAD A BATCH PLANT OVER IN MY AREA. I REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHY YOU BROUGHT THIS FORWARD AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU AND STAFF FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. I CAN'T TAKE FULL CREDIT. IT HAS BEEN A CONCERN OF PAST COUNCILMEMBERS AND RESIDENTS THAT HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT MILLER AND ROWLETT ROAD AND THAT WAS A MAJOR HEADACHE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AND TRAFFIC FLOW WAS A REAL PROBLEM. IT WAS MORE ABOUT ADDRESSING A NEED, NOT ANYTHING BEYOND THAT. IT WAS JUST A NEED THAT WE CERTAINLY HAVE AND I LOOK TO THE CITY OF DALLAS BECAUSE THEY HAD A POLICY LIKE THIS IN PLACE AND I APPRECIATE THAT THEY HAD SET THE PRECEDENT FOR HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT WORK. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? LET'S CALL THE VOTE. THAT CARRIES BY A VOTE OF 6-0 WITH ONE ABSENCE.

[7D. Consider action to approve a resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule to clarify costs for Temporary Use Permits associated with temporary batching plants of varying proximity to occupied dwellings.]

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE NOW TO ITEM 6 D, CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO CLARIFY COSTS FOR TEMPORARY PERMITS ASSOCIATED WITH TEMPORARY PLANS OF BURYING CAPACITY TO OCCUPY DWELLINGS. WE JUST HAD A PRESENTATION ON THIS. DO WE WANT TO MAKE A FOLLOW-UP COMMENT OF ANY SORT BY STAFF?

>> I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE RELATED TO

THE FEE STRUCTURE. >> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE IN THE PACKET? SEEING NONE, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM

COUNCILMEMBER SCHUPP. >> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ACTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO CLARIFY COSTS FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMITS ASSOCIATED WITH TEMPORARY BATCHING IN BURYING PROXIMITY

TO OCCUPY DWELLINGS. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER REAVES.

>> I SECOND THE MOTION. >> THANK YOU.

[7E. Consider appointment to Animal Shelter Advisory Board for the Animal Welfare Representative seat until December 31, 2024.]

[00:55:14]

PASSES BY A VOTE0 WITH ONE ABSENCE. NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 7 E, CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE ANIMAL WELFARE REPRESENTATIVE SEAT UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2024. COREY IS AGAIN PRESENTING THIS

ITEM. >> THE REASON FOR MY BEING HERE TODAY TO REQUEST THAT YOU APPOINT SOMEBODY FOR THE ANIMAL WELFARE SPOT ON THE ANIMAL SHELTER ADVISORY BOARD IS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ABSENCE IN THAT POSITION CURRENTLY AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS MANDATED BY STATE LAW THAT WE HAVE THIS POSITION FILLED. WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE SOME MEMBER FROM THE ANIMAL WELFARE GROUP ON THE BOARD. THE WAY THIS ITEM IS WRITTEN IS SO THAT YOU HAVE THE DISCRETION TO APPOINT ANYBODY THAT YOU MAY SEE FIT INTO THAT ROLE. WE ARE NOT GOING TO RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO THE POSITION. WE DO HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE YOU THAT WE HAD IN THE PACKET FOR A MEMBER THAT IS CURRENTLY SERVING AS ONE OF THE ALTERNATE MEMBERS. THAT RECOMMENDATION CAME FROM THE BOARD CHAIR AS WELL AS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL ANIMAL WELFARE GROUP . YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION TO CONSIDER AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

>> THANK YOU. WHAT QUESTIONS DO WE HAVE? NO QUESTIONS.
