          OH, ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A COUPLE PROCLAMATIONS THIS EVENING. SO FIRST OF ALL, I WILL MAKE A 
          [2.A. Proclamation - Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, May 15th, and National Police Week, May 15-21, 2022 ]
PROCLAMATION ABOUT PEACE OFFICERS, MEMORIAL DAY AND NATIONAL POLICE WEEK, WHICH IS THIS WEEK. THOSE ARE ESTABLISHED BY, UM BY CONGRESS. AND SO IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND SO WE WILL RECOGNIZE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TONIGHT IN CALLING FOR RECOGNITION ON THESE TO THE MEMORIAL DAY AND THE NATIONAL POLICE WEEK. SO IN 2021 ARE NORTHLAKE POLICE OFFICERS RESPONDED OVER 4200 CALLS FOR SERVICE ROUGHLY 11 OR 12 A DAY ARRESTED 230 SUSPECTS MADE OVER 5000 TRAFFIC STOPS AND REMOVED 31 IMPAIRED DRIVERS FROM OUR ROADWAYS. AND PROVIDED NEEDED SECURITY AND PARTICIPATE IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY EVENTS. AND SO IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO RECOGNIZE OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO. IT'S BEEN A DIFFICULT COUPLE OF YEARS. THEY'VE BEEN A LITTLE SHORT STAFFED. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF INJURED IN THE LINE OF DUTY, AND THANKFULLY THEY'RE BOTH RECOVERING WELL, BUT IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO RECOGNIZE THEM AT THIS TIME. SO WE WANTED TO DO SO WITH AN OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THEM THIS WEEK. IN PARTICULAR, ANY WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S ALSO CUSTOMARY FOR US TO RECOGNIZE WHEN THERE'S A CHANGE IN OUR COUNCIL. AND SO WE HAVE HERE PRESIDENT THIS EVENING, MISS HARDIMAN, WHO HAS SERVED US FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ELECT ROBERT KICKER WHO IS TAKING OFFICE. WE WANT TO FIRST RECOGNIZE MS HARDMAN FOR HER FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE, AND WE HAVE PROVIDED A PLAQUE FOR HER AND RECOGNITION OF THAT SERVICE AND ALSO WANT TO THANK HER FOR FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE AND ALSO FOR MR KICKER FOR STEPPING UP, SO I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO JUST GET A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO BOTH THESE PUBLIC SERVICE AND THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF 
          [2.B. Briefing - Cleveland Gibbs Extension ]
BRIEFINGS THIS EVENING TO GET TO GET GOING. SO OUR STAFF HAS JUST 233 THREE. OKAY, ALRIGHT. SO MR CORN, YOU'RE GONNA START US OFF WITH A BRIEFING ON THE CLEVELAND GIBBS EXTENSION AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE OF STAFF UPDATES FROM OUR DEPARTMENTAL UPDATES SERIES. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. 
          THIS WILL. THIS WILL BE PRETTY QUICK. UM THIS IS THE RIDGE AND PHASE THREE WILL BUILD THE YELLOW LINE AND I APOLOGIZE. THAT'S THAT'S ME USING THE HIGHLIGHTING FUNCTION OF POWER POINT, BUT YOU GET YOU GET THE MESSAGE THERE. SO THE EASTERN LANES. THE FUTURE NORTHBOUND LANES WILL BE BUILT AS PART OF PHASE THREE. HOWEVER THAT WILL NOT CONNECT TO HARVEST WHICH HAS 
          [00:05:07]
ALREADY COMPLETED THE EASTERN LANES OF CLEVELAND GIBBS THROUGH THERE TO THE END OF THEIR PROPERTY, SO WE HAVE A GAP, WHICH WE CALL ORANGE OR IS ORANGE AND IN BLUE IS THE WESTERN LANES ARE THE FUTURE SOUTHERN LANES OR SOUTH BEND LANES. SO KIND OF GET A LAY OF THE LAND ROBES AND RANCH ON THE TOP OF THE MAP HARVEST BELOW AND THIS WOULD TIE IN CLEVELAND GIBBS FROM ITS CURRENT ALIGNMENT AND HARVEST UP TO THE ENTRANCE OF GROUPS AND RANCH COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO. PRETTY MUCH AS I'VE DESCRIBED, UM. BASICALLY WE'RE GETTING A QUARTER OF THE ROADWAY . WE'D LIKE IT TO CONNECT. WE'D LIKE FOR THE ORANGE TO COME THROUGH. IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE BUILDING. PUT OUR MASTER PLAN IN CLEVELAND. GIBBS IS ON OUR MASTER PLAN. THEY ARE TO BE REIMBURSED UP TO 75% OF THE ROPE IMPACT FEES. WE KEEP 25% FOR OTHER ROADS. UH AND WE RE EMBARRASSED BURST THEM UP TO 100. WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY THEM MORE THAN THE ROAD COST. YOU KNOW, LIKELIHOOD, WE WILL NOT COMPLETELY REIMBURSED THEM BECAUSE OUR ROAD IMPACT FEES WERE SET A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND OBVIOUSLY, PRICES HAVE INCREASED. UM, BUT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. TO BUILD THAT SECTION TO CONNECT, AND I WOULD WOULD WE WOULD TO DO THIS. WE BRING BACK AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO INSTEAD OF COLLECTING ROAD IMPACT FEES FROM ALL THE HOUSES THAT ARE BUILT IN THE RIDGE AND THEN REIMBURSING THEM FOR BUILDING THAT WHEN THEY BUILD IT IN THESE FOUR WE HAVE THEM CONTINUE THAT PROJECT AND CONTINUE THAT ORANGE SECTION ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WE PAY THE CONTRACTOR DIRECTLY WITH THOSE ROAD IMPACT FEES. SO WE KIND OF CUT THE CORNER. THERE. WE BYPASS THE BILL DIRECTLY THE CONTRACTOR. WE NEED OUR ATTORNEYS. LOOK AT THIS. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS TO LOOK AT THIS, BUT IS THIS SOMETHING OF A PRIORITY? IT'S REALLY, UM IT'S REALLY JUST. SENDING THE FINES IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. SO INSTEAD OF SENDING THEM TO THE DEVELOPER TO REIMBURSE THEM FOR THE ROAD THEY BUILT, IT WOULD BE US HAVING IT BUILT DIRECTLY. NOW I'D BE NETTED OUT OF THEIR ULTIMATE AMOUNT THAT THEY'D BE PAID REIMBURSED FOR THIS ROADWAY THERE. THERE TO BUILD THIS ROADWAY ANYWAY. WE'RE TO REIMBURSE THEM WITH ROAD IMPACT FEES. SO GET ANY QUESTIONS? UM THIS IS WHAT. ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS. I THOUGHT I THERE'S AN INTEREST BY OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT BY THE COUNTY BY THE RESIDENTS, THEREBY KIND OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS TO GET THIS ROAD CUT THROUGH. I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THROUGHPUT. AND HELP, ESPECIALLY AS WE DO. THE BREAKOUT FOR 407 PROVIDES SOME NEEDED RELIEF. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SO YOU'RE TELLING US IT'S NOT GOING TO COST US MORE. AND IT MIGHT EVEN COST US LESS BECAUSE IF WE GO AHEAD AND DO IT NOW, WE'D GET IT. TODAY'S PRICES INSTEAD OF PRICE INFLATED PRICES LATER. GO UP. YES. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE YELLOW AND THE ORANGE IS THE BLUE TO HAPPEN WITH THE PHASE FIVE OR IN PHASE FOUR WHEN YES. 
          SO THE. PHASE FOUR WOULD COMPLETE THE BLUE. SEE HOW THAT DOTTED LINE KIND OF CUTS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE THROUGH THERE, SO THAT'S HOW THEY DECIDED TO PHASE IT AND FUND IT. UM SO YEAH , FACE FOUR WOULD FINISH EVERYTHING IN PHASE FOUR IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. BUT IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WHILE THEY'RE BUILDING YELLOW IN PHASE THREE, JUST JUST COME ON DOWN AND GET IT CONNECTED. ABSOLUTELY AND IT WOULD FOLLOW THE SAME STRUCTURES . WHAT CLEVELAND GIBBS IS TODAY . FOUR LANE DIVIDED SAME GENERAL DIMENSIONS, SO IT JUST BE COMPLETE THE ONE SIDE NOW AND COMPLETE THE ONE SIDE. HALF A YEAR A YEAR FROM NOW, IN PHASE FORWARD, CORRECT, AND SO THIS SECTION, THE YELLOW AND ORANGE SECTION WOULD BE TO LANE TWO WAY. IN AN INTERIM BASIS. THANK YOU. ALL THAT RIGHT AWAY IS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RIDGE. CORRECT, CORRECT, AND THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING ALL FOUR LANES AND THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. WE'RE USING 75% OF THOSE RODENT PACKED FEES TO REIMBURSE THEM FOR BUILDING TO OUR MASTER PLAN. SO WE GET THE ROAD FOR CHEAPER AND DO IT SOONER. WE GET IT SOONER KIND OF TIME. VALUE OF MONEY. 
          CHEAPER. YEAH. THERE'S NO NEGATIVE. NO IT'S JUST IT'S JUST KIND OF INSTEAD OF THE MORE EFFICIENT AND NOW THE MONEY WILL COME OUT SOONER BECAUSE WE WOULD NORMALLY WE WAIT UNTIL THEY 
          [00:10:04]
BUILD IT. ACCEPTED AND THEN REIMBURSE THEM. SO THIS IS, UH AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR FUND BALANCES IN OUR ROAD IMPACT FEE . I THINK WE'VE ALREADY COLLECTED AROUND 700,000 FOR THIS SO WE'VE GOT TO PRETTY GOOD. PRETTY GOOD START ON THAT. AND IT WOULD DEFINITELY REPLENISHED BY THE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT. SO THE NET AMOUNT THAT'S PAID WOULD STILL BE IN PROPORTION TO THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. JUST PULLING IT IN EARLIER. YES, OKAY. WHAT'S THE TIMING ON PHASE FOUR AT THIS POINT PROJECTIONS I THINK 18 TO 24 MONTHS. OKAY? BUT DEMAND FOR LOTS IS HIGH, SO THE ONE THING THE ONE CAVEAT. IF THIS IF THIS ORANGE THING MESSES UP. PHASE THREE. YOU KNOW IF IT CAUSES ANY, UM, DO THE TIMING OR CONTRACTING THAT I WOULD I WOULD WE WOULD BACK OFF OF THIS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANY WAY TO SLOW DOWN YELLOW. THIS WAS THIS WOULD ONLY BE IF WE COULD EXPEDITE. THE ORANGE SECTION. AND I FOUND THAT IN MY YEARS OF DOING THIS, SOMETIMES YOU YOU WANT TO ADD ONTO SOMETHING, AND IT SLOWS DOWN. WHAT YOU WHAT THE ORIGINAL WAS BEYOND WHAT SHOULD WHAT? YOU'D HOPE SO ANYWAY. ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT? UM. IF THE ATTORNEYS CAN FIND A WAY TO DO THIS AND STAY WITH CONTRACTING LAWS, THIS IS A MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THEY HAVE TO MEET ALL THE BID LAWS TO SEE IF THERE'S. REALLY THAT'S THAT'S THE KEY TO THIS IS , IF THEY CAN, IF IT'S AN AMOUNT THAT CAN DO A CHANGE ORDER WITH A CONTRACTOR AND STAY UNDER THE LEGAL CHANGE ORDER AMOUNT IS 25% OR A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT. OR IF THERE'S SOME WAY WE CAN CRAFT THIS AS A SOLE SOURCE, BUT WILL WE NEED TO GO THROUGH? WE NEED TO VENT THAT THROUGH THE THROUGH OUR LEGAL AND OUR LEGAL AND THE DISTRICT'S LEGAL AS WELL. SO IT'S NOT. NOT NECESSARILY DONE DEAL. WE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE WE PAPER IT UP PROPERLY. AND WE WOULD COME BACK TO YOU WITH AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT TO SHOW THAT DIRECT PAY VERSUS THE REIMBURSEMENT. AND SO THE DEVELOPER OF THE RIDGES OBVIOUSLY I WOULD PRESUME AT THIS POINT, AND IN SUPPORT OF THIS, HE'S OPEN TO THE IDEA. 
          THEY ARE. THEY ARE OPEN TO THIS. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR AUTHORIZATION TO DO THE LEGAL STUDY. YEAH, I'M JUST IF THIS IS THE THIS IS THE PROPOSAL OF THIS IS THE DIRECTION YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE. I WILL FOLLOW THIS AND JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP THAT HOPEFULLY, WE'LL BRING SOMETHING TO YOU. THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OKAY, COUNCILORS. YOU CAN CARE. I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION ON THE MESH THOROUGHFARE PLAN. IS THIS ULTIMATELY A FOUR LANE DIVIDED OR IS IT A SIX? 0.4 NEVER GO TO SIX, RIGHT? NOT ON THE WILL NEVER SEEN NEVER SEEN EVER CURRENT MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN HAS THIS AS A FOUR LANE DIVIDED. YES, MA'AM, PRETTY BUSY ROAD. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. I THINK IT MAY BE FOREVER BECAUSE WE'D HAVE TO GET YEAH. LANES FROM WHERE WE COULD EAT THE MEDIAN. IT'S PRETTY THICK MEDIAN. SO THERE'S A POSSIBILITY. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT PLAYING THIS AS SUCH THERE. THERE IS A ONE OTHER THING. CONSIDER ITS RELATED TO THIS. WE SHOULD START TALKING COUNTY ABOUT TURN LANES. AT THE INTERSECTION, CLEVELAND GIBBS ROBES AND RANCH BECAUSE THAT INTERSECTION THERE PEOPLE THERE'S ALREADY BEEN PROBLEMS THAT THE OTHER ENTRANCES LIKE A BRIAR WOOD. INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT WHERE PEOPLE WERE STOPPING. PEOPLE DON'T SEE IT THERE SLAMMING ON BRAKES AND WE WERE OUTSIDE OF THIS FOR SURE WILL WE WOULD NEED TO COORDINATE WITH THE CITY OF DENTON. WE ONLY CONTROL UP TO THE SOUTHERN RIGHT AWAY. FULLY UNDERSTOOD, BUT DEFINITELY I THINK IF WE PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER. WE CAN. WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT. THAT'S GOOD. GOOD POINT THERE IS. NO UH THERE'S NO LEFT TURNS PROTECTED LEFT TURN LANE THERE, AND THERE'S NO LIGHT THERE, AND PROBABLY EVENTUALLY, THERE MIGHT NEED TO BE ONE. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO OUR DEPARTMENTAL UPDATES. WE HAVE UPDATE FROM OUR 
          [2.C. Briefing - Municipal Court Update ]
MUNICIPAL COURT. WELCOME BACK. I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE COURT RIGHT NOW. 
          BASICALLY WE HAVE TO RE EMPLOYEES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR CITATION PROCESSING INCLUDES 
          [00:15:03]
ANYTHING FROM PAYMENTS TO DISMISSALS, COMPLIANCE, VERIFICATION AND ALSO DARKENING, WHICH IS A BIG PART. AND THIS IS OUR THESE ARE OUR WORKLOAD MEASURES, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, TICKETS HAVE INCREASED SOME, WHICH IS WHAT WE WERE AFTER. SIGN. THEY'VE INCREASED SOME SO THEY'RE UP QUITE A BIT. WE ALSO HAVE CAUGHT UP ON ALL THE WARRANTS SO THAT NUMBER IS INCREASED AND YOU'LL SEE THAT BUT OTHER THAN THAT THEY'RE ABOUT STAYING EVEN BUT WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO WHERE WE WERE AT ONE POINT, SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS. IN OUR PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS. THE THING I'M EXCITED ABOUT IS WE'RE FIXING AND GO TO THE CLOUD WITH CORINNE COTE SOFTWARE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE GREAT. THAT GIVES US 24 7 ACCESS. AFTER THE ENCODE ANYWHERE REMOTELY. SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS LIKE THE PANDEMIC AGAIN, WHICH HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BUT ESPECIALLY BAD WEATHER DAYS OR JUST IF SOMEBODY DISCUSS SOMETHING GOING ON AND ONE OF US CAN'T COME IN OR SOMETHING. YOU CAN WORK FROM HOME. WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING FROM HOME JUST PURELY BECAUSE OF OUR TYPE OF WORK. WE HAVE TO BE HERE FOR THE CITIZENS DOCKETS, OF COURSE, OR IN PERSON, BUT A BIG MAJORITY OF OUR WORK CAN BE DONE AT HOME. THIS ALSO GIVES US ON THE NEXT SLIDE. THINK IT IS. YOU'LL SEE THAT BASICALLY IT HAS A PERSONA APPROACH. SO BASICALLY YOU CHECK IN AND WHEN WE SIGN IN , WE CAN SIGN IN UNDER DIFFERENT PERSONAS SO THAT WE AND EACH ONE OF THOSE HAS DIFFERENT RIGHTS AND ABILITIES. WHICH MEANS THE JUDGE, FOR INSTANCE, CAN ACTUALLY SIGN IN REMOTELY. AND AT SOME POINT IN TIME WILL BE ABLE TO SET IT UP TO WHERE RIGHT NOW, WHEN I DO WARRANTS, I HAVE TO PRINT THEM OUT IN THEIR HARD COPY. HE LOOKS YOU KNOW, HE GOES THROUGH AND SIGNS EACH ONE. WE CAN ACTUALLY CREATE A QUEUE FOR THE WARRANTS TO GO INTO. HE CAN SIGN THEM. AUTOMATICALLY ON THE COMPUTER, AND HE CAN HAVE A SIGNATURE ATTACHED BECAUSE THEY HAVE SIGNATURES ON THERE. DO ALL THAT AND THEN SEND THEM BACK TO US, AND HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO COME IN HERE. IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO. WE CAN ALSO LOAD A QUEUE UP TO WHERE LETTERS WE GET FOR TIME SERVED REQUEST. REQUESTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE NORMAL FOR WHAT WE NORMALLY ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAN HE HAS TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. AND SO THOSE LETTERS CAN ALSO BE LOADED INTO A QUEUE. 
          WE CAN SCAN THEM IN LOAD HIM IN, AND HE CAN DO SOME OF THAT WORK. SEPARATE FROM HIM TO BECOME BECAUSE RIGHT NOW HE COMES UP HERE. USUALLY AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH, SOMETIMES MORE JUST ASSIGN WARRANTS. AND SO YOU KNOW, TO LOOK OVER THE LETTERS AND THE REQUESTS THAT WE GET. 
          NEXT SLIDE. THIS BASICALLY JUST GOES OVER A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT HAS THE COLLECTION INTERFACE THAT WE NOW HAVE, BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE THAT REMOTELY. SO IF I HAD TO BE AT HOME AND ISSUE WARRANTS I CAN GO ON THERE AND DO ALL OF IT REMOTELY. CRIMINAL CASE MANAGEMENT CASH COLLECTIONS. THE SECURITY SIGNATURES THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT HER UNLIMITED, SO WE CAN ALL HAVE OUR SIGNATURES ON THERE. UM AND THEN THE WARRANT INTERFACE RIGHT NOW. WE PROBABLY WON'T USE THAT A LOT BECAUSE WE DON'T. HOW'S OUR WARRANTS ANYWHERE? BUT IF WE EVER GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE DO HOUSE THEM THEN THIS WILL HELP US TREMENDOUSLY AS AUTOMATIC. WHERE TO EITHER ENTER THEM WARRANTS INTO TWO REGIONS OR TO GET THEM OUT SO THAT ONCE THE TICKETS PAID, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY TAKEN OUT OF REGION, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL. 
          PLUS AGAIN, WE WON'T BE RELYING ON THE SERVERS HERE WILL BE RELYING ON THE COAT THE CLOUD, SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S GOING TO SPEED UP SOME OF OUR TRANSACTIONS, TOO. SO AND THIS IS QUARTER RECORD REQUIREMENTS. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY TIME WE START LOOKING AT THIS. BASICALLY IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO A DECISION CHOICE FOR YOU GUYS WHICH WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND HOW YOU WANT TO GO THE DIRECTION BUT WE'VE GOT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE. WE HAVE THE JUDGES AN ATTORNEY NOW , SO WE'VE GOT THAT, AND THAT WAS A BIG PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. 
          WE ALSO HAVE FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC OFFICE FOR THE JUDGE OR A SPECIFIC THING. WE CAN USE MULTI ROOMS FOR MULTIPURPOSE. WE CAN USE MULTIPURPOSE ROOMS, BASICALLY. SO THE JUDGE, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN HE'S HERE, HE CAN USE MY OFFICE. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE A PRIVATE OFFICE OFFICE OF HIS OWN AS LONG AS HE'S GOT ONE HE CAN USE AND PROSECUTORS. 
          SAME THING. AS FAR AS THE LAW LIBRARY. WE CAN TRY ONE OR TWO THINGS WE CAN EITHER GO ONLINE, WHICH MEANS WE COULD HAVE A COMPUTER SET UP IN THE COURTROOM FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ONLINE AND GO INTO THE LAW LIBRARY THAT WAY. OR WE CAN HAVE JUST A BOOK CASE THAT'S BASICALLY ON WHEELS. THAT YOU CAN ROLL IN, AND WE CAN ROLL IT IN COURT AND THEN TAKE IT BACK TO OUR OFFICES AND STORES. SO IT'S NOT IN THE WAY SO EITHER ONE OF THOSE TWO ARE PRETTY PRACTICAL THINGS THAT WE COULD DO AND CUT DOWN ON HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC PLACE TO PUT THE LIBRARY. SO THOSE WERE SOME OF THE BIG THINGS TO ME THAT WE'RE KIND OF IMPEDING IT. AT THIS POINT TO THE NEXT. AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IT'S GOING TO GENERATE A TON OF 
          [00:20:05]
REVENUE FOR THIS IS THE TOWN. IT'S JUST PROBABLY NOT AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER EVENTUALLY WHEN THE TICKETS DO GET UP HIGHER, AND AS WE GET BIGGER, IT WILL BE A BIG IT WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE MORE EVERYTHING IS CITATION DRIVEN. THE MORE TICKETS YOU HAVE, OR CITATIONS THAT ARE ISSUED. THE MORE APPEALS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE PAYMENTS, MORE WARRANTS AND SO ON. SO AS WE GROW, AND AS OUR CITATIONS GO UP , THEN WE WILL SEE A BIGGER DIFFERENCE. MONETARILY FOR GOING TO COURT RECORD. AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THE EXPENSES WOULD WOULD WE WOULD INCUR. MOST OF THEM WERE YEARLY, BE ONGOING EXPENSES. 
          SOME OF THEM WE ALREADY PAY FOR, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE PROSECUTOR, THE JUDGE, SO IT'S LIKE I SAID SOME OF THEM WERE ALREADY PAYING FOR EVERY YEAR. THAT'S THE LAST ONE IS IT? MHM. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THOSE NUMBERS STILL SEEM PRETTY HIGH FOR HIS EXPENSES. SO YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO PAYING FOR IT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S STILL A WAYS OUT. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE NET NET ON THIS? 15,000 YEAH, I THINK IT WAS SO I MEAN, IT'S TRUE AT THIS POINT. 
          IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IS NOT GOING TO. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO GO TO COURT OF RECORD FINANCIALLY, BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL HAS LOOKED AT BEFORE, AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM FOR US TO BECOME COURT OF RECORD. SO RIGHT NOW, YOU KIND OF WAY IT OUT, AND IT'S A CHOICE THAT YOU MAKE WHETHER YOU WANT TO SPEND THAT EXTRA MONEY TO BECOME QUARTER OF RECORD AND ALREADY HAVE IT IN PLACE AND HAVE IT HERE. LATER ON. I THINK IT WILL BALANCE OUT AND IT WILL BECOME BETTER FOR US. BUT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE AN EXPENSE THAN A SO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, THEN IS UM, YOU KNOW, FROM FISCAL SENSE, WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. BUT ULTIMATELY, THE COURT IS A IS A PUBLIC SERVICE. SO WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES THIS HELP OR HURT THE EXPERIENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO EFFICIENTLY GET ACCESS TO JUSTICE. IS NOT REALLY GOING TO CHANGE IT FOR THEM. IT CHANGES IT ON OUR END BECAUSE IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE DO APPEALS. IF THEY WANT TO APPEAL THEIR CASE, THEY HAVE TO PEEL IT UP BASED ON THE RECORD, NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HERE OR THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE DECISION OR RIGHT NOW, IF THEY DON'T WANT TO COME TO THIS COURT, THEY CAN JUST APPEAL IT STRAIGHT OUT OF OUR COURT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH US. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH US. WHICH RIGHT NOW MOST OF OUR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES DO THAT BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CDL. SO WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY CAN'T TAKE DEFENSIVE DRIVING. THEY CAN'T GET DEFERRED. SO THAT LIMITS THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO PLEA BARGAIN WITH THEM, SO THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO DEAL WITH US. SO THEY APPEAL IT UP TO THE COUNTY COURT. SO THEN, AT THAT POINT THEY CAN DEAL WITH THEM, AND THERE'S A GLITCH IN THE LAW AND THEY CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THERE THAN WE CAN DO AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL. SO THAT'S THE BIGGEST REASON WHY THEY APPEAL IT. YOU BECOME A QUARTER OF RECORD THAT TAKES THAT OUT OF THE EQUATION, AND THEY CAN NO LONGER DO THAT. THEY HAVE TO COME HERE FIRST. AND THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY CAN APPEAL THEIR CASE OR PERFECT THEIR APPEAL. THEY CAN APPEAL IT, BUT THEY WON'T PERFECT IT IF THEY CAN'T SHOW THAT WE DID SOMETHING ON SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH OUR RECORD, SOMETHING THAT WE DID WRONG LIKE. FOR INSTANCE, THE JUDGE SOMEBODY YOU KNOW, OVERRULED SOMETHING AND HE SUSTAINED IT OR SHOULD HAVE NOT, YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO JUDICIAL PROCEDURAL ERROR DID THEY HAVE TO PROVE ERROR, ENTRY PROOF JUDICIAL ERROR? NOT EVEN A PROCEDURAL ERROR. REALLY? PERFECT. SO IF THAT MAKES SENSE , BUT AS FAR AS A CITIZEN, HAVING MORE ACCESS TO US, WE ALREADY DO THAT WITH ALL THE ONLINE STUFF THAT WE OFFER ALL THE ESPECIALLY FOR ONE OF THE CLOUDS AND DOING SOME OF THAT A LOT OF THAT THAT'S GIVEN PEOPLE MORE ACCESS TO US. THIS REALLY IS NOT GIVEN THEM ANY MORE ACCESS. IT'S KIND OF MAKING THEM STAY HERE AND NOT GO SOMEPLACE ELSE. BUT IS THAT GOOD? IS IT MORE EFFICIENT FOR THEM? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET IF THEY IF THEY FEEL THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SIGHTED. IT'S IF THEY'RE COMING FROM A LONG WAYS AWAY. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A DIFFICULT THING. IS IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO USE THE COUNTY TO APPEAL? OR IS IT IT'S MORE CONVENIENT FOR ATTORNEYS. I CAN TELL YOU NOT NECESSARILY FOR CITIZENS. 
          ATTORNEYS IS DEFINITELY MORE CONVENIENT AND I'VE SEEN IT OVER THE YEARS THAT ATTORNEYS WILL PURPOSELY APPEAL THEIR CASES, ESPECIALLY AS THEY TAKE ON MORE BECAUSE THEY CAN HANDLE EVERYTHING IN THAT ONE COURT. OTHERWISE THEY MAY HAVE TO SHOW UP IN ROANOKE, JUSTIN NORTH LAKE , SEVERAL COURTS TO WHERE IF THEY APPEAL THEIR CASES AND DON'T COME TO THOSE SMALLER COURTS OR COURTS THAT ARE NOT COURT OF RECORD, THEY APPEAL THEM STRAIGHT UP TO THE COUNTY. 
          THEN THEY CAN MAKE THAT ONE APPEARANCE AND THEY CAN HANDLE ALL THEIR CASES, AND IT SAVES 
          [00:25:01]
THEM TIME. AS FAR AS A CITIZEN. IT REALLY DOESN'T I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD EVER BE SOMETHING THAT A CITIZEN WOULD APPRECIATE . IT MAKES IT GIVES THE COURT MORE POWER, BASICALLY, IS WHAT IT DOES. OKAY ALL RIGHT. INTERESTING INSIGHT, OKAY? I'LL JUST HOLLER REAL LOUD. HOW MUCH DO WE LOSE BY PEOPLE GOING TO DENTON TO BEGIN WITH ONE OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDES? IT'S ABOUT 15. 
          OF THE CASES, BUT WITH IS THERE ANY WAY THEY CAN STILL GO TO DENTON. IN OTHER WORDS, DO WE STILL LOSE THAT 15? I MEAN, DO WE STILL LOSE SOME OF THAT PERCENT ANYWAY? BECAUSE THEY CAN FIND SOME EXCUSE TO GO TO DENTON. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND AN EXCUSE TO GO TO DENTON. 
          UNLESS THEY SHOW UP HERE FIRST. IT HAS TO BE A JUDICIAL ERROR. IT DOESN'T GO TO DINNER AT ALL. 
          AND EVEN WHEN IT DOES GO TO DENTON ONCE YOU BECOME QUARTER OF RECORD AND SAY WE DID MESS UP, SAY THE JUDGE DID DO SOMETHING WRONG OR THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF JUDICIAL ERROR. IT COMES BACK TO US, AND WE TRY IT AGAIN. THAT'S ALL THAT HAPPENS. IT DOESN'T IT NEVER GOES TO THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY NEVER GETS THE MONEY ON A QUARTER OF RECORD CASE EVER. IS THAT THIS WILL MAKE US BUSIER AND REQUIRE SOME ADDITIONAL STAFF AND A FEW MORE RESOURCES. BUT LEE ANN'S INVESTIGATED LIKE THE LAW LIBRARY IN THE OFFICE, AND THERE'S SOME WAYS THAT WE CAN DO THAT EFFICIENTLY. BUT REALLY, THAT'S IT'S BUSIER AND MORE STAFF AND NOT LOSING SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW SOME OF THOSE, UH SOME OF THAT REVENUE AND IT IT IS, IN SOME WAYS MORE PRESTIGIOUS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THE THOUGHT OF GOING QUARTER OF RECORD AND IT BUT IT'S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU GUYS. I'VE DONE IT BOTH WAYS. SO I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADDITION OF STAFF BECAUSE OF THE SPACE. UM, WE'RE TOUGH ON SPACE THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. TRUE. 
          WE'VE BEEN USING THE EXTRA. THERE IS AN EXTRA SPOT IN THE COURT AREA, BUT WE'VE BEEN USING IS THAT KIND OF A OVERFLOW SPACE NOW THAT WE'VE KICKED DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DOWN THE ROAD. WE'VE GOT. WE'VE GOT 12 EXTRA SPOTS, NOW ONE IN COURT AND ONE IN IN THE ADMINISTRATION WILL ACTUALLY THREE EXTRA SPOTS ONE IMPORTANT TO AN ADMINISTRATION. SO WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY, BUT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. THAT MAY ALL BE NEEDED AS WELL. AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS YEAR. I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, I WANTED TO PRESENT IT TO YOU AND LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS THAT. AND IT MAY EVEN BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO IN STEPS. WE MAY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND GET THE LAW LIBRARY OR DO A FEW OTHER THINGS. HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, DO IT LITTLE BY LITTLE SO THAT THE IMPACT ISN'T SO BAD ALL AT ONCE. AND LOOK AT DOING IT IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THAT THAT'S ENTIRELY IT. I JUST WANTED TO PRESENT TO YOU AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. I APPRECIATE IT. ONE OTHER QUESTION THAT LOL AT LIBRARY BE ONLINE. YES SIR. BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO EXACTLY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A COMPUTER OR LAPTOP HERE IN THE COURTROOM. AND HAVE IT UP AND HOOKED UP TO THE INTERNET SO THAT THEY COULD ACCESS THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM EVERYTHING I'VE RESEARCHED THAT THAT'S THE WAY IT CAN BE DONE IN IN. OUR JUDGES ACTUALLY TOLD US THAT THAT'S HOW IT CAN BE DONE TO SO REAL QUICK QUESTION. UM THERE'S ABOUT $8000 JUMP FROM CURRENT ON GOING TO COURT OF RECORD ON OUR JUDGE. WHAT'S THE $25,000 JUMP ON THE PROSECUTOR? IS THAT JUST MORE TIME? MORE TIME, MORE TIME , MORE THINGS THAT HE HAS TO FILL OUT MORE INVOLVEMENT BY HIM . HE HAS TO BE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE APPEALS PROCESS. AND SO THOSE ARE ESTIMATES. IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL UNTIL WE SEE HOW MANY APPEALS WILL HAVE HOW IT WILL WORK BECAUSE I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT. THIS IS BETTER FOR Y'ALL FOR OUR STAFF. NOT NECESSARILY BETTER FOR OUR CITIZENS. I MEAN, IT DOESN'T ADD ANYTHING TO OUR CITIZENS, BUT IT IS BETTER FOR YOU ALL RIGHT. AND FOR OUR INCOME, BASICALLY, EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE BETTER FOR OUR IT COULD BE, AND IT'S NOT ITS STAFF IS INDIFFERENT TO THIS , OKAY? YEAH I CAN HONESTLY SAY I'VE WORKED IN A NON COURT OF RECORD. THEN WE BECAME QUARTER OF RECORD. I WAS THERE WHEN WE TRANSITIONED, AND THEN I WORKED. HERE'S IN A NON COURT OF RECORD. 
          FOR ME. IT NO DIFF. MY JOB. DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE THAT MUCH. IT'S REALLY IRRELEVANT TO US, BUTS IMPORTANT TO THE TENT TO YOU GUYS INTO THE TOWN BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCE. AND SOME PEOPLE ALSO THINK LIKE I SAID THAT IT GIVES THE COURT MORE RECOGNITION THAT IT MAKES US YOU KNOW, MORE IMPORTANT. SO IF SOMEONE GETS A TICKET IN NORTH LAKE AND SAY, YOU SAID A COMMERCIAL DRIVER APPEALS THAT UP TO DENTON COUNTY, THEN DO THE FUNDS COME BACK TO NORTH LIKE NO MATTER DIDN'T COUNTY. THANK YOU . EVEN THOUGH THE TICKET WAS WRITTEN HERE, CORRECT 15% LOSS THAT SHE PROJECTION? YEAH. YEAH, WE NEVER SEE IT SO WHICH SAID THAT'S ABOUT 50,000 RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? OKAY BUT THE COST OF ITS 162 OVER THE 50 ROUGHLY THAT WE , UH SO THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW 
          [00:30:07]
IS WOULD BE A NET LOSS. A LOT OF THAT'S ALREADY PROGRAMMED IN. WE ALREADY HAVE AH! UM, WE HAVE COURT WILL NEED A NEW COURT CLERK. SO UM, THERE'S SOME THAT'S ALREADY SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY IN THERE SOME EXPENSES THAT ARE THERE, BUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS WHAT WE HAVE TO RECOVER. AND THEN THE 50 COVERS PART OF IT. BUT WE'RE WE'RE STILL SHY BY GRAND AT THIS POINT, SO THIS IS A DURING OKAY? COUNSELORS AT THE SAME PLACE UNTIL IT CAN BREAK EVEN, AND SELF SUPPORT. I APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS YOU SHARED WITH US THEIR BUT IT'S I THINK ONCE IT'S AT A BREAK, EVEN THEN IT STARTS TO MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE. AND PROBABLY BY THAT TIME, I WOULD ASSUME DIFFERENT FACILITY WITH PROBABLY MORE OF A DEDICATED COURTROOM OR AND WE ALSO MAY NEED A NEW EMPLOYEE ALONG THAT WAY, BECAUSE IT'S CITATIONS GO UP AND SO THAT THAT WILL HELP THERE TOO. SO, LIKE I SAID MY VISION IS SAYING THAT WE GET SOME OF THESE THINGS LITTLE BY LITTLE AS WE'RE GOING AND JUST START WORKING TOWARD THAT POINT, AND THEN WHEN WE GET CLOSER THAN DO THE OTHER. ANY OTHER MAIN MESSAGES WERE PREPARING FOR IT. WE'RE WORKING TOWARD IT, AND WE'RE AT AT YOUR DECISION ON WHEN YOU WANT TO TURN THE SWITCH. YEAH THANK YOU.

OKAY YOU YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ONE MORE DEPARTMENTAL UPDATE AND THIS IS THE TOWN SECRETARY'S OFFICE. SO, MISS PARKER. LITTLE SHORTER, SOME MOVING THIS BACK JUST A BIT. GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL Z. PARKER, TOWN SECRETARY. I JUST HAVE A FEW UPDATES FOR YOU THIS EVENING. FIRST WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER A LITTLE BIT. THE GENERAL ELECTION ON MAY 7TH.

WE WILL HAVE OUR CANVAS AND THE OATH OF OFFICE FOR NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS HERE AT TOWN HALL AT 5 30. PM THE NEXT BIT OF OUR UPDATE THIS EVENING IS GOING TO BE ABOUT OUR WORKLOAD METRICS, AND THERE ISN'T MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT WAS DONE THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCREASE IN OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION. REQUESTS. ABOUT WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A REQUEST TRACKER, WHICH ALLOWS US TO RECEIVE PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS ONLINE THROUGH CIVIC. PLUS, IT'S A MODULE THAT WAS EXISTENT WITHIN THE SYSTEM. WE'VE JUST ACTUALLY GOT IT GOING AND WE HAD A LIVE AND PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS ARE COMING IN. WITH NO NO, NO EASE. SO OUR EMAIL IS ALSO GOING TO BE EXPANDED TO OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS. YOU ALL HAVE. CURRENT EMAILS ARE APPOINTED OFFICIALS WILL ALSO HAVE EMAILS ISSUED. WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT READY FOR EVERYONE BY THE FIRST WEEK IN JUNE. ONCE WE HAVE RE APPOINTMENTS SCHEDULED. WE HAVE AN AGENDA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT IT JUST TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE UPON WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. WE'RE LOOKING AT ASSESS. AND TRYING HAVE THE EQUIP. THAT YOU CURRENTLY UTILIZE. FOR YOUR. THAT'S ON THE DIET. TO HAVE SURE IT HAS A GOOD INTERFACE. WITH WHAT LOOKING. 
          AT. UNTO YOU. WE LOOK AT HOPEFULLY HAVING SOME TIME, BUT SOME TYPE OF A TARGET IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. AND OF COURSE, WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING. ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY ASPECT IS GOING TO BE A RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT FOR THE TOWN AS A WHOLE. WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE THAT TOOL, AND I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR INFORMATION THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR CITIZENS AS WELL AS THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES IN ONE LOCATION, SO WE'RE TALKING WITH THE VENDORS AND DISCUSSING HOW WE CAN GO ABOUT THAT AND IMPLEMENT THIS. HOPEFULLY BY OCTOBER OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR AS WELL. AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST WE DO HAVE AN APPRECIATION BANQUET THAT WAS SLATED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 22 BUDGET TO OCCUR. WE HAVE A PROPOSED DATE OF DECEMBER 10TH WITH THE TIME BEING BETWEEN 5:37:30 P.M. AT THE NORTHWEST OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER. WE 
          [00:35:01]
WOULD HAVE IT CATERED BY A LOCAL EATING ESTABLISHMENT, AND WE WOULD INVITE ALL OF OUR CURRENT BOARD CORPORATION AND COMMISSION MEMBERS AS WELL AS COUNCIL AND STUFF STAFF DIRECTORS AS WELL AS ONE ADDITIONAL, UM UH, PERSON PER INDIVIDUAL THAT GETS TO A TENSILE ONE GUEST ESSENTIALLY THAT'S IT FOR THIS EVENING. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. QUICK QUESTION. WHAT'S YOUR REQUIREMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS? MANAGEMENT IN TERMS OF HOW LONG YOU KEEP ALL THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND THINGS OF THE TOWN? SO THERE IS ACTUALLY ABOUT A 700 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH? SO THERE'S SOMETHING THERE EVERYWHERE FROM SOMETHING THAT'S ADMINISTRATIVELY VALUABLE . THAT'S 30 DAYS TO PERMANENT RETENTION, SO THERE'S A WHOLE GAMUT OF INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW AND RESEARCH BEFORE WE DO THAT, WHICH IS WHY RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE TO LET US BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE INFORMATION, DIGITIZED THE INFORMATION AND GET RID OF STUFF AS WE AS WE OUTLIVES ITS USE. I NOTICED ON THE WORKLOAD METRICS . THERE'S ONE NEW CATEGORY THAN I THINK IT'S A NOTARIAL SERVICES . YES IS THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE MOTORING? YES, SIR. I AM SERVICE , OKAY? YES, SIR. AND WE'VE SINCE I STARTED IN DECEMBER OF, YOU KNOW, NOTARIZED QUITE A BIT. IT'S A GOOD TOOL. IT'S A GOOD SERVICE THAT WE OFFER TOURS CITIZEN. WEREN'T COMING IN IN PERSON AS MUCH EARLY AND EVEN MARRY WERE NOTARIES. AND THEN WE HAVE A NOTARY IN COURT AS WELL. SO THAT MAY BE PART OF IT. BUT, YES, DEFINITELY Z AS A AS A NOTARY, AND SHE'S AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS THAT NEEDS SOMETHING. NOTARIZED. THANK YOU. MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. UM THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S REALLY GREAT. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU KNOW HOW THAT ALL WORKS FOR EVERYBODY, AND HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY IS ABLE TO SEE SOME BENEFIT FROM THAT FROM BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT. ABSOLUTELY, YES. THE INTENT IS TO ABLE TO THAT OUT. 
          TO THE PUBLIC ONCE WE HAVE IT SET UP IN. INDIVIDUAL CAN REVIEW AND RESEARCH ORDINANCES. AGENDA. 
          IN A VERY SOON. AND EASY TO USE. PLATFORM. GOOD ONE. ALRIGHT I HAVE IS 67 P 
          [3. PUBLIC INPUT ]
M. I HAVE TO PUBLIC INPUT FORMS TO START HERE THIS EVENING. THE FIRST ONE THAT I GOT FIRST IS MR MCGREGOR. FLOOR IS YOURS, SIR. THREE MINUTES. JOE MCGREGOR 89 21 EAST FAMILY LINE. FIRST THING I JUST WANT TO BRING EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION IS THE CALENDAR ON THE MOBILE SITE HAS PROBLEMS AND ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOMEBODY TO FIX THAT. TONIGHT'S MEETING WAS NOT ON THE MAIN CALENDAR, SO PEOPLE HAD WENT THERE AND LOOKED FOR IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE. 
          YOU CAN'T DIG DOWN AND FIND IT. BUT WHEN YOU PULL UP THE MAIN CALENDAR ON YOUR PHONE, IT DOESN'T SHOW UP. UM, IN THE TEXT AT THE TOP SAYS THAT THE DEFAULT IS TO SHOW EVERYTHING BUT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO IN WHEN YOU GO INTO OPTIONS AND LOOK AT IT, IT DOESN'T DEFAULT TO SHOWING EVERYTHING. AND EVEN WHEN YOU DO, YOU STILL HAVE TO SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FIND IT. UM THE QUARTER RECORD THING. I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT YOU PUT THAT OFF UNTIL WE I WOULD SAY MORE THAN BREAK EVEN I'D SAY UNTIL IT'S ACTUALLY WE SEE THAT IT'S COSTING US SOMETHING. AND I USED TO GET A LOT OF TRAFFIC TICKETS. NOT ANYMORE. BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE REMANDED BACK TO THE LOCAL COURT ON COURTS OF RECORD WHEN I HAVE APPEALED THEM. AND I'VE ALSO NEVER HAD AN APPEAL TURNED DOWN, SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO GO TO THE COUNTY. AND THAT'S BEEN PROBABLY 18 TIMES. 
          YEAH. UM, NOT RECENTLY. BUT ANYWAY JUST PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND ALSO I WASN'T CLEAR ON THE SAID THAT OUR COURT CAN'T NEGOTIATE ON CDL TICKETS AND THE COUNTY CAN I DIDN'T HEAR WHETHER OF RECORD IF IT WOULD GIVE US THE ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM OR NOT. I THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT. I'D REALLY HATE TO SEE UM, I THINK THAT'S NOT REALLY FAIR THAT THE HAVE TO YOU'RE NOT YOUR HANDS ARE TIED ON TRUCK DRIVER TICKETS. YOU KNOW YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO SO IF WE STILL COULDN'T DO IT, EVEN IF WE RECORDED RECORD REALLY BE AGAINST THAT. THANKS. SORRY ASHLEY. IS THERE A QUICK ANSWER TO THAT? DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION? 
          [00:40:12]
YOUR SPECIAL DAY. THIS WILL. THE POLICY IS THEY DON'T WANT THEN WENT TO HIDE. PROBLEMS LIKE BUDGET. THAT WOULDN'T ALLOW MORE FREE. STICKS THOSE TICKETS. THAT'S THE WRONG WORD. BUT THAT THANK YOU APPRECIATE THE EXTRA COLOR. ALRIGHT SECOND FORM. I HAVE THIS EVENING'S FOR MR STEVE LEECH. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. APOLOGIZE FOR MY CASUAL APPEARANCE ON I WILL START WITH THIS DEFINITION FROM THE WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, THE OBLIGATION OR WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE'S ACTIONS. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE STATEMENT DEFINES IT'S ACCOUNTABILITY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WORD SEEMS TO HAVE LESS AND LESS IMPACT AND MEANING AS TIME IN OUR WORLD PROGRESSES. RESPONSIBILITY THE QUALITY OR STATE OF BEING RESPONSIBLE, SUCH AS MORAL, LEGAL OR MENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY. INTEGRITY. THE FIRM ADHERENCE TO A CODE, ESPECIALLY MORAL OR ARTISTIC VALUES, AND IT'S SYNONYMOUS WITH INCORRUPTIBILITY. THE HOMEOWNERS THE A OF PRAIRIE VIEW FARMS HAVE ATTEMPTED OVER AND OVER TO WORK WITH TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. AND MOST OF ALL, BE AN IN DEALING WITH THE HILL DEVELOPERS AND THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAM. I USED TO BE ON THE SHOW A SO I'M ACUTELY AWARE OF THE AWARE OF THE SPECIFICS AND THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH, SAID LEADERSHIP. WE HAVE BATTLED STORMWATER RUNOFF FROM HILLWOOD FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE SUFFERED. WE HAVE HEARD FOR YEARS. THE EMPTY PROMISES FROM BOTH JENNA TERRIL AND THE HILLWOOD COMMUNITY TO DO RIGHT BY PRAIRIE VIEW FARMS, ONLY TO BE DISAPPOINTED TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WE HAVE ASKED FOR A SIMPLISTIC SOLUTIONS TO HELP WITH THE ISSUES SUCH AS DIGGING A TEMPORARY TRENCH FROM THE PUMP STATION LOCATED ON THE OLD JUSTIN ROAD IN A NORTH AND. DIRECTION TO CATCH RAIN. RUNOFF. 
          DIVERT THE WATER TOO. OUR CREEK. POND. RIGHT. THEY DID DIG THE TRENCH. ON OCTOBER 3RD 2019 IN AN EMAIL FROM JENA TERREL OF HILLWOOD SUMMARIZING THEIR OFFER TO R H O. A. THEY WERE GOING TO RE GRADE THE CHANNEL THAT RUNS EAST AND WEST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM HARVEST ALONG PRAIRIE MOUNT COURT. THAT EMPTIES INTO OUR SOUTHERN POND. THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE THE ROCK CHECK DAM. THEY WERE GOING TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL ROCK CHECK DAMS IF NECESSARY, THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL SEED ON THE SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN SLOPE STARTED THIS WORK. AND AS WE AS A COMMUNITY, WE FELT THERE WAS FINALLY SOME LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THAT WORK WAS HALTED DUE TO THE HOMEOWNERS NEEDING TO SIGN A RELEASE FORM IN WHICH WE DID. ILLEGAL AGREEMENT WAS THEN PRESENTED TO OUR BOARD TO SIGN BEFORE WORK WOULD THEN COMMENCE , WHICH HAD INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSES AND STATEMENTS TO INCLUDE, AND I QUOTE. UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE WORK, FUTURE AND CURRENT STORM RUNOFF FLOODING DISRUPTION TO THE SATURDAY AREAS AROUND THE HEAD WALL WITH THE LICENSE TRACKED AND OR FLOODING DRAINAGE, INCLUDING PAST AND FUTURE STORM RUNOFF. FLOODING DRAINAGE ETCETERA FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR DEVELOPED BY LICENSEE ON OR ABOUT THE REAL PROPERTY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE WORK AND THE FINAL PLAN. THIS SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION THIS AGREEMENT. AFTER LEGAL REVIEW. THE STATEMENT IN THIS AGREEMENT WAS NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR HOMEOWNERS OR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND IN LAYMAN'S TERMS WOULD RELEASE HILLWOOD OF ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY, MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS APPALLING. AND YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE BIG CORPORATION FLEXING THEIR MUSCLE ON THE PROVERBIAL LITTLE GUY. THIS PAST SEPTEMBER, TWO YEARS AFTER MISS TERRELL'S ORIGINAL EMAIL COMPLAINTS WERE FILED WITH THE CE QUE THOSE COMPLAINTS WERE ANSWERED IN NOVEMBER OF 2021. A COPY OF THAT REPORT, AND ITS FINDINGS WERE SENT TO MISS TERRILL ON NOVEMBER 23RD 2021 RECOMMENDATIONS OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WERE PROVIDED TO INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF EFFECTIVE STABILIZATION MEASURES. SUCH AS VEGGIE. GEO. MATTING TO ACHIEVE FINAL. IN ADDITION RECOMMENDATION OF MAINTENANCE OF RIPPER AND ROCK CHECK DAMS AND DRAINAGE CANAL TO RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY. AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NONE OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE NOW MOVE TO THE NORTH SIDE WILL JUSTIN ROAD WHERE LAND HAS BEEN TURNED OVER SO IT FENCES HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED AND NOW AFTER HEAVY RAINS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, MORE AND MORE SILT ENTERS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, OUR YARDS AND OUR PONDS. YET HILLWOOD MISSED CAROL OR ANYONE ELSE HAS BEEN ABLE ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF A LOPSIDED AGREEMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED TO OUR BOARD THAT IN FINALITY WOULD ONLY SERVE HILLWOOD AND THEIR INTERESTS LEAVING ARE VERY SMALL, 56 HOME NEIGHBORHOOD TO FEND FOR ITSELF. THE UNEQUIVOCAL BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT HILLWOOD AND GINA TERREL HAVE NOT ACTED RESPONSIBLY. THEY HAVE NOT ACTED WITH INTEGRITY AND THEY SURE HAVE NOT BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY OF THE DAMAGE THAT THEY HAVE CAUSED. I WOULD ANY OF THIS. COUNCIL ANY OTHER. COMMITTEE. IN LAKE. TENDED OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY 
          [00:45:06]
REQUEST THAT ANY PERMITS AND ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT BE DENIED UNTIL A COMPLETE EVALUATION PROPOSAL AND CLEANUP OF OUR PONDS, CREEK BEDS AND YARDS IS AGREED TO THIS. STATEMENT THAT I READ TO YOU HAS BEEN SIGNED OFF BY 45 NEIGHBORS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SOON TO BE 47. 
          LASTLY I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SITE 470.46 POINT, 47 ON THE PHASE PAGE THREE OF PHASE 14 CONSTRUCTION PLANS THAT CLEARLY READ THE CONTRACTOR SHALL ASSUME LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO A PROP.

SPECIFICALLY THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROTECT ALL PUBLIC STREETS. ALLEYS STREAMS, STORM DRAIN SYSTEMS AND INLETS FROM EROSION DEPOSITS. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. AND IF WE DON'T HAVE THE GUIDELINES IN PLACE TO HOLD HILLWOOD AND ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPERS ACCOUNTABLE, THEN WE'RE MAKING A VERY, VERY BIG MISTAKE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE IT. UM STAFF. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE SEND US A NOTE IN RESPONSE TO A COUPLE OF THOSE POINTS. REFRESH OUR MEMORIES ON TIMELINE ON OUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. IN OUR LEGAL OPTIONS AS AN ENTITY IN SUPPORT OF WHATEVER THEY NEED. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR LEITCH, WOULD YOU WANT SENDING THAT INFORMATION TO THE COUNCIL VISITED YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND I'VE SEEN THE THINGS THAT HAVE GONE ON AND IF YOU COULD PROVIDE THAT TO A SECRETARY HELP THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILOR APPRECIATE YOU, ME A LITTLE ATTITUDE THERE. I LET THAT RUN A LITTLE LONG, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF KIND OF CONCLUDING. SO ALL RIGHT. OKAY IS THERE ANY OTHERS THAT WISH TO SPEAK TONIGHT? I HAVE TWO CARDS . IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK THIS EVENING? THIS WAY THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE HARD LATER. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS 6 17 PM, UM, AND WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY WE ARE LIMITED. IN WHAT WE CAN TO HERE AND NOW, BUT WE ARE ALLOWED TO STATE OR 
          [4. CONSENT ITEMS ]
ASK. FOLLOW UP. OUR STAFF. AND IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT. DENTON COUNTY. FOR THE USE OF OUR RADIOS. ARE PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY PRESENT. TO ALL THE CITY. AROUND HERE.

THANK YOU. UNANIMOUS. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR ACTION ITEMS. ITEM G IS A COUNCIL CONSIDER RESOLUTION 22-23 APPROVING THE TOWN OF MANAGEMENT TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE HOTEL CONFERENCE CENTER MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH LODGING HOST HOTEL CORPORATION. TO INCREASE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION. FOUR POINT MILLION THAT IS NOT FOR MILLION. POINT. MILLION. TO FIVE. AS THERE OF CONSTRUCTION. COSTS SINCE THIS PROJECT INITIALLY PUT. 18, OKAY? ALRIGHT SO THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN BRIEFED ON THIS ITEM IS TO THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS AND OPEN. THIS IS THE CAMBRIA. 14. BEHIND. 
          THE SEVEN. NOT CONSTRUCTED YET. TWO OPTIONS THAT WE COULD CONSIDER. ONE WAS TOO TO CUT COSTS BY USING INFERIOR CONSTRUCTION METHODS USING LUMBER INSTEAD OF STEEL. 
          CONSTRUCTION AND THE PROPOSAL HERE IN FRONT OF YOU IS TO CONTINUE WITH THE INITIAL DESIGN WITH THE ADDITIONAL COSTS. SO COUNCILORS WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO WITH THE SIDE OF THIS 
          [00:50:04]
EVENING. DID YOU EVER? I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION STATEMENT ABOUT THIS IS ALL COMING FROM THE HOTEL TEXT CORRECT. YES, MA'AM. CORRECT. BUT IT IT'S GOING TO COMPETE WITH OUR EXISTING HOTELS. IT'S THE IT'S BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE COUNCIL BEFORE. THIRD ON, BUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE WILL COMPETE WITH. OUR EXISTING HOTELS, AND WE'RE PAYING FOR THAT OUT OF THE HOTEL TEXT. THIS IS CONFERENCE CENTER. THERE'S NO OTHER CONFERENCE. CENTER IN NEW LAKE. HOTEL WILL COMPETE WITH OTHER. YES, MA'AM, BUT THIS PORTION OF IT IS THE POOR. THE HOTEL CENTER. 
          SEPARATE, WHICH IS OWNED BY WOOD. BE OWNED BY THE TOWN. YES GOOD. THIS CONVERSATION WILL BE MANAGED BY NORTHLAKE INNKEEPERS WHO ALSO MANAGED THE CAMBRIA. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THAT TO THIS PARTICULAR POINT AND IN OTHER SITUATIONS, UM THAT THAT THEY MANAGED BUT IN THE MAJORITY OF THEM IF THERE IS A CONFERENCE THAT REQUIRES MORE ROOMS, THEY RUN A BUS SERVICE TO TRY TO BRING THOSE. INVENTION NEAR THE CONFERENCE ATTENDEES THAT CAN'T STAY IN THE CAMBRIA THE OVERFLOW . THEY'LL DO A BUS SERVICE TO BRING THOSE TO THE CONFERENCE CENTER. UM WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANY PUSHBACK OR ANY INPUT FROM OUR EXISTING HOTELS. THEY ARE LIMITED STAY. CAMBRIA IS A FULL SERVICE HOTEL WITH ROOM SERVICE, SO IT'S A DIFFERENT CLIENTELE BASE AND SO THERE WILL BE SOME COMPETITION, BUT WE DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A GREAT AMOUNT OF COMPETITION AND THE CONFERENCE CENTER WILL PROVIDE EVEN MORE. AT NIGHT. AT ALL OUR HOTELS NOW AND SO WE'RE SEEING THE CONFERENCE CENTER JUST TO ADD TO THAT USE OF ROOMS IN BOOKING OF ROOMS. SO, UM IT WILL COMPETE. 
          BUT JUST A SMALL CROSSOVER OF CUSTOMER TYPE AND THE CONFERENCE CENTER WILL ADD ADDITIONAL HOTEL STAYS TO ALL OF OUR HOTELS. SO IN NET, IT'LL BE IT'LL BE A NET ADD TO OUR EXISTING HOTELS. SOME TIME AGO WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED , UM I SEEM TO RECALL BEFORE WE EVEN AGREED TO A CONFERENCE CENTER. UM I SEEM TO RECALL THAT THE HOTELS HAD TO AGREE TO PARTICIPATE IN ADDING THE HOT TAX. AND THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT THEY WANTED WAS A CONFERENCE CENTER IN THE AREA. HAVE THEY COME BACK SINCE THAT TIME AT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE HOT TAX WITH ANY FEEDBACK ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT LOCATION? HAVE THEY GIVEN FEEDBACK AS TO WHETHER THEY THINK THIS IS IN THEIR BENEFIT OR NOT? UM. THAT WAS THE HOTEL TAX WAS ESTABLISHED, POSSIBLY 2020 YEARS AGO. I'M NOT AWARE OF THEIR INPUT AT THAT TIME, THE LAST, UH FOUR OR FIVE YEARS SINCE WE'VE BEEN TO. ACTUALLY WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A CONFERENCE CENTER FOR 15 YEARS. BUT DURING ALL OF THAT TIME WHEN WE TELL THEM THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, IN FACT, WE TALKED TO EVERY HOTELIER, WOULD YOU BE PARTNERED WITH US ON A CONFERENCE CENTER? THEY ALL SAID NO. WE JUST WANT TO DO OUR LIMITED STAY. SO IN A SENSE, THEY ALL KNEW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL DESIRED. AND IT WAS A LONG TERM GOAL OF OURS WHEN WE WHEN WE MET WITH A CAMBRIA, THEY HAD THE MODEL THAT WORKED. WITH OUR WITH IT. HOTEL TAX FUNDED CONFERENCE CENTER, SO AND WE'VE BEEN. WE'VE BEEN OPEN ABOUT THIS AND WE'VE NOT. WE'VE WE HAVEN'T SPECIFICALLY COMMUNICATED TO EVERY HOTEL. YOU'RE IN TOWN IN AND TOLD HIM. ASK HIM POINT BLANK. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE CONFERENCE CENTER, BUT IT. IT IS OUT THERE AND WE CAN DO THAT. WE HAVE A NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR. WE CAN GO IN AND HAVE THEM DO THAT. UM, BUT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF IT. WE HAVE COMMUNICATED IT. WE HAVE NOT ASKED THEM SPECIFICALLY THAT QUESTION. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE IF SOMEBODY'S IN THE HOTEL MOTEL INDUSTRY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT THAT WELL IN THEIR HOTEL COMES IN A GIRL, FOR INSTANCE, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN INDUSTRY. THEY'RE AWARE OF IT. AND BECAUSE INDUSTRY THEY SEE THE BENEFIT OF THAT IT'S NOT REALLY GERMAN TO THIS, BUT WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY USE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX, AND ALL OF THOSE HOTELS WERE EXCITED ABOUT THAT OTHER PROJECT AS WELL. SO ANY TIME YOU ADD ADDITIONAL STAYS. IT'S THE OLD REAGAN, YOU KNOW, THE RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS CONCEPT. 
          AND THIS WOULD BE FULLY FUNDED BY THE HOTEL TAX. YES, SIR, THAT WE HAVE A BALANCE IN THE HOTEL 
          [00:55:03]
FUND NOW TO PAY DOWN SOME DEBT. WE ALSO HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH CAPACITY. TO FIND THE REMAINING PORTION OF THAT, OR WE COULD FUND THE ENTIRE 5.9 WITH EXISTING REVENUE STREAMS. THIS ISN'T AND WE AS WE DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING. THIS ISN'T COUNTING THE CAMBRIDGE. IT'S JUST THE EXISTING HOTELS, OKAY? WILL THIS BE THE LAST TIME THAT COMES BACK FOR AN INCREASE? WILL THIS GO UNDER CONTRACT? BASICALLY THIS PRICE IS LOCKED IN. THANK YOU. AND THEN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF TIMES AND A NUMBER OF PROJECTS. THESE PRICES KEEP MOVING. SO NOW WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS BID THE PROJECT. COME TO YOU WITH THE PRICES AND TELL YOU WHAT'S CHANGED. AND IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD AND TO LAST MINUTE YOU GAVE YOU GAVE STAFF DIRECTION TO MOVE. IS THERE ANY BUFFER IN THIS PRICE INCREASE THAT I COME BACK TO US IF THINGS MODERATE. UM IT'S GOING TO BE ACTUAL COSTS. SO IF THEY FIND COST SAVINGS WE DO WE PAY ACTUAL COSTS. SO THERE IS A THERE IS A CONTINGENCY IN THERE . SO IF THERE ARE SOME UNFORESEEN COST INCREASES THEIR BUILT IN THEIR WORK. AS WELL GIVEN A CERTAIN CONTINGENCY AMOUNT. OKAY? THAT'S A 31% INCREASE. I DIDN'T KNOW INFLATION WAS THAT HIGH UM WELL , IT DEPENDS ON WHAT BASKET OF GOODS YOU LOOK AT TO DETERMINE INFLATION. CONSTRUCTION COST MAYBE THAT MUCH WAY HIGHER THAN TYPICAL INFLATION. CB? YES, SIR. WHAT ABOUT A DOWNTURN IN THE ECONOMY? WHAT HAPPENS THERE WITH THE CONTINUED HOTEL TAX? IF WE SEE SOMETHING LIKE WE'VE SEEN IN THE COVID AND THE INTENSE DECREASE IN HOTEL STAYS. IN OUR HOTEL HOTEL TAX WOULD GO DOWN. 
          AND THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THIS PROJECT WOULD DO WHAT WE WOULD TAKE A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO THIS AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEVERAGE THE COMPLETE HOTEL TEXT STREAM. SO THEY'RE EVEN WITHIN THAT DEBT SERVICE. THERE'S SOME ROOM THERE FOR A DOWNTURN. MUCH OF IT. HOW MUCH YOU HAVE. IF YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S ROOM. HOW MUCH ROOM ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I'M NOT TRYING TO GET SPECIFIC, BUT I DO KNOW THAT MEASURE SPECIFIC. UM SO WHEN WE WITHDRAW , THINK, UM, WE HAD. THE ABILITY WITH OUR CURRENT REVENUE STREAM TO FINANCE. ALMOST NINE MILLION. AND SO THAT'S $3 MILLION. DELTA. 
          OF ROOM. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT BACKS INTO DEBT SERVICE AND ANNUAL PAYMENTS. BUT ROUGHLY. 
          WE'RE USING ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF OUR EXISTING SO. THAT FLOWS THROUGH ALL THE DEBT SERVICE AND EVERYTHING WERE WE'RE WE GOT ABOUT A THIRD LIFT. SO WE'RE WE COULD WE COULD AND AGAIN, THIS IS A TORTURED MATH. PROJECT HERE, BUT. MAYBE A 33% DOWNTURN IN THE ECONOMY. ROUGHLY QUESTION IS THE ASSUMPTION HERE IS THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. IF THAT'S NO. THIS ASSUMPTION IS THAT WE JUST THE EXISTING HOTELS CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AT THEIR CURRENT TO FINANCE THIS RIGHT, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONFERENCE CENTER AND THE HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTER TOGETHER. THE ASSUMPTION HERE IS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL, RIGHT? VARIES A QUALITATIVE TERM WE'VE SEEN OTHER. PARTNERSHIPS THERE'S ONE CLOSE IN LEWISVILLE THAT HAVE SUCCESS. UM AND THAT THEY FUNCTION WELL, UM, BY HAVING THIS SHARING OF MANAGEMENT AND THAT THEIR BOOKED UP. WE'VE THE STUDY THAT WE DID IN CONJUNCTION WITH NORTHLAKE INNKEEPERS SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR THIS TYPE AND SIZE OF CONFERENCE CENTER IN THE MARKET. 
          SO THERE'S A NEED. THERE'S A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE CENTER AND YES, THE HOPE IS THAT THIS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. HOPE IS BASED ON THE STUDY BASED ON EXAMPLES. YES. 
          OKAY, SO IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION. CAN YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME DREW. WHY IS A PRIVATE PARTNER NOT STEPPING UP AND TAKING THIS ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY ON IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE? DOES I HAVEN'T I HAVE MAYBE THEY THINK EVEN THE GAYLORD USES SOME HOTEL TEXT FOR SOME OF THEIR CONFERENCE CENTER AREA. AH, THIS IS A THIS IS A UM. THIS IS 
          [01:00:02]
ALMOST ALWAYS DEFINITELY AT CITY OF DALLAS CITY OF HEARST. A NUMBER OF THEM THAT I AM AWARE OF ITS PUBLICLY FUNDED THE CONFERENCE CENTER, THE CONVENTION CENTER, LAS VEGAS MCCORMICK CENTER IN CHICAGO HAS ONE. PLANO HAS ONE. MESQUITE HAS ONE LIKE THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL. 
          THERE THEIR PUBLICLY FUNDED THE SUCCESSES THE CAMBRIA, THE CAMBRIA NEEDS TO BE A SUCCESS. 
          THERE IS A DESIRE FOR A FULL SERVICE HOTEL. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ON THE TOWNS YOU KNOW, COUNCILS WISH LIST, AND SO, UM. I CANNOT THINK OF AN EXAMPLE OF PRIVATELY FUNDED CONFERENCE CENTER, AND THIS IS THIS IS THE. BY INVESTMENT GORRITI OF THE MAIN USE OF THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES TO BUILD A CONFERENCE CENTER CONVENTION CENTER. WE HAVING A DISCUSSION OVER WHETHER WE'RE DOING THIS. ARE WE HAVING DISCUSSION ON HOW THIS CHANGE IN PRICES GETTING PAID FOR WE'RE GETTING OFF TRACK. TONIGHT. ALRIGHT MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT IT'S A GERMAN CONVERSATION BECAUSE COST INCREASES. WE HAVE TO DECIDE IF IT'S IN OUR INTERESTS. BUT ARE WE WERE LOCKED INTO THE PROGRAM, ARE WE NOT? YEAH YEAH, YOU'RE OKAY. WE'RE GOOD TO TALK AND, YES, AND WE'RE AND WE'RE IN FOR 4.5 MILLION AND WE CAN DO A. WOOD STRUCTURE WITH MULTIPLE COLUMNS THROUGHOUT THE SPACE. THE DIRECTION COUNCIL GAVE LAST TIME WAS FOR MORE ICONIC COLUMN FREE SPACE. AND TO DO THAT, WITH THE INCREASING CONSTRUCTION PRICES WAS TOO AH! TO INCREASE THE BUDGET, AND THE COUNCIL ASKED THAT THIS BE VERIFIED THAT WE HAVE THE REVENUE STREAM TO COVER THE STEP WE DO. AND EVEN IF THE CAMBRIA SAT THERE EMPTY, IT WOULD STILL GET PAID FOR BY THE EXISTING HOTEL OCCUPANCY. CORRECT THAT THEIR CURRENT CURRENT OCCUPANCY, YES. SO I THINK, UH, THE TOPIC IS GERMANE , MISS HARDIMAN. YOUR POINTS ARE VALID FOR OUR DISCUSSION. BUT ALSO YES, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE INCREASE, BUT. I MEAN, THEY ARE KIND OF FLOW TOGETHER AS FAR AS THE OPINIONS OF THE COUNSELOR, SO I THINK I THINK YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT. IF YOU DON'T MIND MY PLAYING SWITZERLAND HERE. BUT BUT COUNCIL YOU DO HAVE WHAT WE DO HAVE TO DECIDE ON IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 1.4 SO BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO IT, MR CORN SAID, WHICH IS WE REMAIN AT 4.5 MILLION WITH WOOD CONSTRUCTION AND COLUMNS IN THE IN THE CENTER OF THE BALLROOM. WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD STILL COVER IT. OKAY THAT WOULD BE STEP ONE IS TO TRY TO UM COULD COST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IF WE CAN'T GET DOWN TO 4.5, THE ORIGINAL BUDGET WOULD COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN, ALRIGHT AND VERSUS 5.9, WHICH IS LOCKING IN THAT PRICE TO FINISH IT. AND MR CORN YOU'RE GIVING US YOU KNOW THE ASSERTION THAT WE CAN STILL COVER THIS UNDER OUR HOT TAX REVENUE STREAM FROM EXISTING HOTELS? YES, OKAY. ALRIGHT, SO COUNCIL. DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THIS? YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH 4.5 OR YOU WANT TO GO TO 5.9. 
          OVER THE HEART ATTACKS. I HAVE MADE A MOTION TO CONTINUOUS 5.9 IS DISCUSSED IN PREVIOUS SESSIONS. ALL RIGHT. I USE YOUR VOTING, PLEASE. AND WAS THERE ALRIGHT. CAN YOU PUSH THAT AGAIN? BILL. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM MAYOR PRETEND MONTINI TO ACCEPT THE 5.9. WE WERE SECOND FROM COUNCILOR MORE. DID YOU HAVE SOME COMMENTARY YOU WERE GOING TO ONLY TO SAY BASICALLY WHAT I SAID IN A BOARD MEETING WAS EARLIER WAS THAT THERE WAS A HECK OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WOOD STRUCTURE AND THE STEEL STRUCTURE WHOM YOU START TALKING ABOUT EQUALITY STRUCTURE. ALL OF US HAVE STAYED IN LESSER QUALITY MOTEL SIXES AND WE'VE ALL STAYED IN A MARRIOTT, AND WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN PEOPLE TRAVEL TO CONVENTION CENTER, THEY EXPECT TO BE IN A MORE QUALITY ENVIRONMENT, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BUILD THEM QUALITY BUILDING. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE TOPIC? THE MOTION IS IN PLACE. 
          WE CAN VOTE IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION. ALRIGHT, COUNSELORS, PLEASE PLEASE VOTE. AND YEAH. 
          EVERYBODY GET IT. REGISTERING. IS IT ALL DARK? IT'S A MAYOR'S NEEDS TO VOTE. IT DID TURN DARK,
