          [2A. Presentation - Anniversary recognition to Robert Crawford for ten years of service to the Town of Northlake]
TO GET EVERYBODY EFFICIENTLY. THROUGH AND HEARD TONIGHT WE WOULD LIKE TO START, THOUGH, WITH A RECOGNITION OF OUR POLICE CHIEF ROBERT CRAWFORD. HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 10 YEARS NOW AND SINCE THE OPPORTUNITY AVAILS ITSELF TO CELEBRATE HIM A LITTLE BIT. WE WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HIS SERVICE TONIGHT, SO WE'LL HAVE HIM COME UP IN A SECOND. BUT ALSO SINCE YOU KNOW, WE NEVER KNOW IF WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER 10 YEARS WITH YOU, AND I IMAGINE YOU MAY HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT. 
          MAYBE MAYBE WE WILL THEN BUT WE DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND FOR THE ORGANIZATION THAT YOU'VE BEEN BUILDING. IT'S JUST AS WE GROW, AND AS WE COME INTO A LARGER CITY, THE CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE GROW EVERY DAY. AS WE WERE REMINDED THIS WEEK AND WE JUST WE'RE THANKFUL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO STEP IN AND STAYING IN THE GAP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. AND WE APPRECIATE THE ORGANIZATION THE VALUES THAT YOU BROUGHT TO YOUR ROLE. AND SO WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SIR. APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE. DO WE HAVE? PRESIDENT PLAQUE HERE TONIGHT. I THOUGHT SO. ALL RIGHT. LET'S LET'S HAVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR PEOPLE, PLEASE . NO. 
          MM HMM. ALRIGHT SO WE'VE GOT TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR PRESENTATIONS THIS EVENING. 
          [2B. Briefing - Property Tax Exemption for elderly and disabled residents]
WE'LL HAVE OUR STAFF COME UP AND GIVE US A LITTLE BIT INFORMATION ON BOTH OF THESE FIRST ONE IS ON A POSSIBLE WE'LL DISCUSS THIS LATER IN THE EVENING WITH THE COUNCIL. BUT A OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A HIGHER PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR THE OVER 65 DISABLED RESIDENTS. SO JOHN, TELL US TELL US ABOUT THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE. Q YOU WHENEVER YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE SLIDES, SO, JOHN SUBMIT YOUR MOUTH ON THE MIC. ALL RIGHT. SO THE TOWN CURRENTLY OFFERS AN 
          [00:05:09]
OVER 65 DISABLED PERSON EXEMPTION OF ROUGHLY $15,000. IT WAS LAST INCREASED IN 2017 ARE PROPOSED INCREASE IS TO INCREASE THAT $15,000 EXEMPTION TO $50,000. THIS REPRESENTS ROUGHLY A 10% INCREASE OR A DISRUPT THE $35,000 INCREASES ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 10% IN THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE NORTHLAKE HOME THIS BENEFITS, MOSTLY THOSE ON FIXED INCOMES OVER 65 ARE THE HIGHEST SUSCEPTIBLE TO NO INCOME GROWTH. THERE IS USUALLY CP ADJUSTMENTS, BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF INCOME GROWTH, USUALLY IN THIS AGE BRACKET, AND SO THIS PROVIDES SOME RELIEF WHEN WE'RE SEEING APPRAISALS GO THAT HIGHER THAN 10% SO TO QUALIFY FOR THIS, THEY HAVE TO BE HOMESTEADED RESIDENTS AS WELL. AND SO THEY ARE CAPPED AT 10% GROWTH, SO THIS SHOULD IF THEY ARE AT THE AVERAGE VALUE OF THE TAXABLE HOUSE, THIS SHOULD COMPLETELY OFFSET THE MAXIMUM INCREASE THAT THEY COULD EXPERIENCE THIS YEAR . NOW THEIR HOME VALUE IS GREATER THAN THAT. THEN THEY WON'T EXPERIENCE THE FULL 10% BUT IT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY DECREASE THAT, AT LEAST ON THEIR TOWARD NORTHLAKE PORTION. CURRENTLY WE HAVE 263 HOUSEHOLDS THAT QUALIFY THE AVERAGE SAVINGS PER RESIDENT PER YEAR IS ABOUT $103. AND OUR ESTIMATED REVENUE LOSSES AROUND 25,000 ALMOST $26,000. AND SO EXEMPTIONS ARE ALSO RETROACTIVE. THEY GET IF SOMEONE QUALIFIED IN THE PAST YEAR THAT THEY ALREADY LIVED HERE, UM HOW THE EXEMPTIONS APPLIED. IT WILL GO BACK AND THEY WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT ON THEIR NEXT YEAR SO THIS NUMBER COULD INCREASE THE TAX IMPACT COULD INCREASE BASED ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE MOVED IN OR JUST NOW RECEIVING THE EXEMPTIONS. AND SO THIS IS A GOOD GRAPH. THAT SHOWS WHAT THE EXEMPTION DOES AND HOW MUCH IT SAVES PEOPLE ON PROPERTY TAXES, AND THIS IS JUST THE EFFECT OF THE $50,000 RESIDENTIAL EXEMPTION. AND SERIES. YOU CAN SEE THAT MORE HOME VALUE HAVE THE LEAST IMPACTFUL. IT IS. BECAUSE IT'S NOT BASED ON THE PROPORTION NEXT SLIDE THERE, MISTY. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS COMPARING WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. A LOT OF OTHER CITIES ARE GONE FLOWER AMOUNT OR HIGHER CITY OF DENTON IS RIGHT ON POINT WITH THIS. SAME WITH HAZLETT IN ROANOKE. SOME OF THEM VERY AND DEFER. THIS LAW HAS CHANGED OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS WHERE YOU CAN SET EACH OF THEM SEPARATELY, WHEREAS THEY USED TO BE DONE TOGETHER. THIS IS OUR FIRST INCREASE. IN YOU KNOW, OVER FIVE YEARS, AND SO THIS IS GETTING US CLOSER TO THAT, BUT THE IDEA WAS TO OFFSET THE INCREASES THEIR FEELING BECAUSE OF THE APPRAISAL CREEP THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING, AND TO REALLY HELP THOSE WHO ARE MOST IMPACTED. I'VE HAD A RESTRICTED INCOME. MARY COUNCIL. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FORMING OVER THIS EXEMPTION? LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT IT. ALRIGHT, MR CORN. AND TALK A 
          [2C. Briefing - Northlake Representation on Regional Boards and Committees]
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DIFFERENT BOARDS THAT ARE PRIMARILY OUR STAFFS THAT ON BUT SOME OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMUNITY MYSELF, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE THINGS BEYOND JUST THE TOWN AND OUR TOWN GETS OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE ON THINGS LIKE THE WATER BOARD AND DIFFERENT BOARDS IN THE AREA OF TAX DISTRICTS. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW ABOUT THAT AND UNDERSTAND THE INFLUENCE WE HAVE THROUGH ELECTED AND STAFF REPRESENTATIVES HERE IN THE TOWN. SO MR CORN WALK US THROUGH. WHAT? WHAT YOU HAVE FOR US THIS EVENING. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED THIS HITS A NUMBER OF THE STRATEGIC GOALS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS AND WE'LL GO OVER. KIND OF THESE ARE ALL INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED ROADS, WATER AND SEWER. WE DO HAVE. SOME TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION . I KNOW IT'S FRUSTRATING AT TIMES, A LOT OF OUR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES ARE CONTROLLED BY TEXT DOT BUT WE TRY TO KEEP YOU UP TO DATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE MAYOR PROTEIN WAS TALKING ABOUT THE COUNTIES IN OUR, UM, CONSULTANTS THAT PROVIDES THOSE UPDATES. AND SO THAT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF OUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE MAYOR AND I SAID ON THE METRO PORTS CITIES PARTNERSHIP, WHICH IS ALSO FOCUSED ON TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE A ■NUMBR OF WE HAVE TO MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS, ONE IN PECAN SQUARE AND ONE OF THE RIDGE. UM, THAT THAT I SIT ON. 
          THIS WAS NEGOTIATED AS PART OF THE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. UM I'M ABLE TO REPRESENT THE TOWN'S INTERESTS AND ALSO AWARE OF THINGS, AND PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE COORDINATION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH MMD NUMBER TWO IS TO POSSIBLY FAST TRACK THE CLEVELAND GIBBS PROJECTS SO WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT AT A PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETINGS, SO THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME 
          [00:10:02]
OF THAT COORDINATION. UH HUH. OUR WHOLESALE PROVIDERS. AND IN THE SOUTH AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM RIGHT NOW, AND WE'VE BEEN BRIEFED ON, UH GETTING ADDITIONAL CAPACITY FROM FORT WORTH, ERIC'S THE VOTING MEMBER , AND I'M THE ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATE MEMBER. AND AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE WE'RE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. IN FACT, JUST TALK TO THEM. WE AND THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO PHASING THAT PROJECT. SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS WERE PRETTY BIG, SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S VERY HELPFUL THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WORK WITH US. TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY IS OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROVIDER. THE PLANT THAT THAT WE GO TO HIS IN ROANOKE AND ERIC AND I FLIPPED THE MEMBERSHIP THERE. BUT WE'RE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH HIM RIGHT NOW OR MORE COORDINATION WITH THEM ON OUR OUR LARGE TRUNK LINE PROJECT THAT YOU JUST AWARDED THE DESIGN CONTRACT TO IT. THE LAST MEETING AND THEN FINALLY, KIND OF THE REASON WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT. THIS IS OUR PROVIDER IN THE NORTH. IT GETS ALL OUR MAJOR NEIGHBORHOODS. CANYON FALLS BACK ON SQUARE, THE RIDGE ALL OUR LARGE ESTATE LOT. NEIGHBORHOODS. MM. AND LYLE IS OUR CURRENT BOARD MEMBER. HE'S ATTENDED EVERY MEETING. I THINK HE'S NOW TREASURER, SO HE'S WORKING HIS WAY UP THE LEADERSHIP. UM ON THE BOARD. AND HE IS ACCEPTING. BUT I DIDNT COUNTY SEAT SO THIS WILL CREATE A VACANCY. FOR AS OUR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD. NOW THE BOARD OVER THE YEARS HAS SOME INTERESTING QUALIFICATIONS . YOU HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT. YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED VOTER. YOU CAN'T BE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. AND YOU CAN'T BE AN EMPLOYEE OF ANOTHER ENTITY. SO UM, YOU KNOW, ERIC COULDN'T REPRESENT PONDER. AND SO. AND THEN THE CURRENT BOARD IS YOU KNOW AND EMPLOYEES, FORMER OFFICIALS. SOMETIMES IT'S EVEN CONSULTANTS, BUT THEY HAVE TO MEET THOSE QUALIFICATIONS. 
          AND HERE IS THE CURRENT MAKEUP. IT'S VERY LARGE BOARD. UH BUT THINGS ARE ALL THE MEMBER CITIES SO AT A FUTURE MEETING. BRING TO YOU. OR ASK THE COUNCIL TO NOMINATE SOMEONE TO SIT ON THAT BOARD. AND AGAIN OPPORTUNITIES VERY CRUCIAL IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. WE HAVE A CURRENT. SUBSCRIPTION IS 3.8 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. LOOKS LIKE IN JUNE. WE'RE GOING TO RAISE IT TO 5.8 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE CRUCIAL TO WATER PROVISION IN THIS AREA. SO. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR REGIONAL REPRESENTATION. COUNCILORS WHO HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR MR CORN. FOR IT. ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH. LOWRY WILL WILL THAT BE A MEETING IN JUNE? SO AUGUST IS THE FIRST MEETING THAT WE POTENTIALLY COULD NOT HAVE REPRESENTATION. ON THE BOARD SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE NOMINEE PLACED BY THEN IT'S JUST IS IT JUST OUR VOTE HAS TO PASS. JUST A RESOLUTION BY COUNCIL. OKAY WORK ON THAT FOR THE SUMMER. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, MR CORN. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ONE MORE BRIEFING TONIGHT. THE 
          [2D. Briefing - Harvest Public Improvement District (PID) Dissolution]
HARVEST PIT DISSOLUTION. SO WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES HERE TO SHARE WITH US THEIR REQUEST FROM THE BOARD OR FROM THE PYD RATHER INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND TELL US WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS RICK ROSENBERG. I'M THE MANAGING PRINCIPAL FOR D P F G. 
          WE PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES TO HILLWOOD IN THE FORMATION. AND POTENTIALLY THE DISSOLUTION OF NORTH LAKE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ONE. THE PIT WAS ORIGINALLY UP. LET ME JUST FIRST SHOW WHERE THE PIT BOUNDARIES ARE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE HARVEST PROJECT, AS THE PROJECT HAS EXPANDED BEYOND THE ORIGINAL SCOPE INTO NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS. NOT EVERYONE. WITHIN. HARVEST IS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PIT. THEREFORE THERE ARE SOME UNEQUAL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS OF DIFFERENT PARTIES. SO CURRENTLY THERE ARE 2000 AND 64 RESIDENTS IS WITHIN THE PYD AND 620. VIED WITH OUTSIDE OF THE PIT UPON BUILD OUT, IT'LL BE STILL ABOUT 2600 AND 84 RESIDENCES WITHIN THE PIT AND 1266 RESIDENTS OUTSIDE THE 
          [00:15:07]
PIT. OUR GOAL. OKAY. GOAL IS TO DISSOLVE. NORTHLAKE PID NUMBER ONE HAVE THAT COMPLETED DURING THIS THIS SUMMER, SO THAT BY OCTOBER 1ST, IT COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE DENTON COUNTY. 
          ASSESSORS TAX ROLLS THERE BE NO PAYMENTS DUE. WITH THIS YEAR'S PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS. THE OBJECTIVE IS. MULTIPLE VIED THE HOMEOWNERS WITHIN HARVEST MULTIPLE BENEFITS. EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A FLAT H O A PAYMENT AS OPPOSED TO RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS A MIXTURE OF A ADVIL ARM TAX FOR THE PID. AND A PAYMENT. SEPARATE AND APART. TO ALLOW INCREASED COMMUNICATION AMONG THE HOMEOWNERS AND COST SAVINGS AS WELL. TALK ABOUT. RIGHT NOW. THE CURRENT DIP IT IN THIS CASE, THIS PIT IS SET UP. TO PROVIDE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES. IT IS SET UP TO PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE HARVEST COMMUNITY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PIT. WHEREAS THE A IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVATE AMENITIES AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS. IT IS FUNDED THROUGH A 21 CENT AT PER $100 ADVIL ARM TAX RATE. AND AS HAS BEEN OCCURRING HOME VALUES CONTINUE TO INCREASE. THE PAYMENTS OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PIT ARE INCREASING AS WELL. THOSE RESIDENCES THAT HAVE OUTSIDE THE PIT BOUNDARIES THAT LIVE WITHIN HARVEST PAYING FULL FLAT H O A PAYMENT. THEY'RE ALL GETTING THE SAME SERVICES. THE GOAL IS DISSOLVED THE 21 CENT TAX RATE PAYMENT. HAVE ALL THE RESIDENCES WITHIN THE PYD PAY THE SAME FLAT H O A PAYMENT AS RESIDENCES OUTSIDE THE PIT. 
          THEREFORE. ANY QUESTIONS, ANY ISSUES THAT COME UP? PEOPLE CAN JUST CALL THE O A EASY ONE STOP SHOP AS OPPOSED TO IS THIS A PIT ISSUE, OR IS THIS AN ISSUE? THE PIT WAS CREATED WITH GOOD REASON AND GOOD INTENTIONS, BUT GIVEN THE HOW THE PROJECT IS DEVELOPED , IT MAKES MORE SENSE AT THIS POINT TO MOVE FORWARD. CURRENTLN THE PIT BOUNDARIES WILL HAVE AN IMMEDIATE COST SAVINGS FROM THIS ACTIVITY. DEPENDING ON THE HOME VALUE. WE CAN SHOW A RANGE OF POTENTIAL SAVINGS. UM MOST IMPORTANTLY, GIVEN THE CONTINUED INCREASE IN VALUES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. WITHIN. 3 TO 43 YEARS. ALL THE HOMEOWNERS EXISTING WITHIN THE PIT WILL START HAVING COST SAVINGS. HE STARTED 69% WITHIN THREE YEARS. WE SHOULD BE AT 100. AND SO THEREFORE THEY WILL ONLY HAVE FLAT PAYMENTS GOING FORWARD. YOU CAN SEE THAT. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S ABOUT 600 HOMES THAT ARE BELOW THE VALUE NEEDED TO PROVIDE COST SAVINGS NEXT YEAR ABOUT 300 THE YEAR AFTER 49 AFTER THAT WOULD BE ZERO. SO THE GOAL IS TO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. GET TO THE POINT WHERE EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM THE DISSOLUTION OF THE PIT. THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH. WE WANTED TO INTRODUCE THIS CONCEPT TO THE COUNCIL THIS EVENING. BECAUSE IF WE HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE RESIDENTS FOR THIS, WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE COUNCIL THIS SUMMER TO GO THROUGH THE LEGAL PROCESS TO RESOLVE THE PIT, WHICH IS A VERY SIMILAR PROCESS TO THE WHAT WE WENT THROUGH TO CREATE THE PIT. OR BE A PETITION . IN THIS CASE, WE WILL BE MEETING WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ON JUNE 7TH. ASKING THEM IF THEY ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS TO SIGN THE PETITION NEEDED TO REQUEST THIS TOWN OF NORTH LAKE TO DISSOLVE THE PIT. WE NEED TO GET BASICALLY 50% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS. 50% OF THE AREA WITHIN THE PIT AND 50% OF THE VALUE WITH INDEPENDENT ALL TO SIGN THE PETITION. ONCE WE HAVE THOSE SIGNATURES, WE WILL COME BACK AND REQUESTED THE COUNCIL SET A PUBLIC HEARING. WE'RE AT THAT PUBLIC HEARING, THERE COULD BE A RESOLUTION OR AN ORDINANCE AT THAT TIME TO DISSOLVE THE PYD. IT'LL BE DONE IN CONCERT WITH YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL, AND WINSTEAD IS REPRESENTING HILLWOOD IN THIS PROCESS. OUR GOAL, LIKE I SAID, IS TO HAVE THE PYD DISSOLVED, UM IN TIME TO GET IT OFF THE TAX ROLLS AND OFF THE TAX BILLS THAT GO OUT STARTING OCTOBER, 1ST. 
          AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. UM AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL TO GET THIS DONE. IS THERE A DEADLINE TO GET THIS DONE? WE HAVE DEADLINES FOR PASSING 
          [00:20:01]
CERTAIN THINGS TO APPLY TO THIS TAX YEAR. NO NO, THERE'S NOT A DEADLINE FOR THAT. SO IF YOU PASS THIS ON DECEMBER, 31ST BE RETROACTIVE OCTOBER 1ST DEADLINE THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE TIMELINE AND HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING HAVE THAT ACTION BEFORE OCTOBER 5TH BEFORE OCTOBER 1ST. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A TIMELINE TO BEAT THE TAX BILL, BUT AS FAR AS ANY DEADLINE FOR THE COUNCIL. DO IT. WHENEVER YOU KNOW, I FOLLOW. I'M TRYING TO ASCERTAIN WHAT DEADLINE THERE IS FOR US TO TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS. IF THEY CHOOSE TO SUPPORT IT ARE GOAL IS TO BRING BACK THE PETITION. NO LATER THAN AUGUST BECAUSE YOU NEED 16 DAYS NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO MISS A MEETING AND GO TO THE BASICALLY A MONTH LATER. WE WANT TO HAVE THE MEETING. THE PUBLIC HEARING AND HOPEFULLY THE APPROVAL THE LATER THAN SEPTEMBER COUNCIL MEETINGS HOPEFULLY, EARLY IN SEPTEMBER, SO THAT WE CAN WORK WITH THAT COUNTY TO GET ALL THE PAPERWORK DONE. THE COUNTY HAS TOLD US THEY NEED TO KNOW BY OCTOBER 1ST. ALL RIGHT. AND THIS IS NOT A DEBT SUPPORTED PIT IS THAT CORRECT? THIS IS PURELY AN OPERATIONS AND AVALON SUPPORT, SO THERE'S NOTHING HAS TO BE PAID OFF IN THIS CASE, ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF AS A COUNCIL? NO. 
          JUST TO FURTHER ANSWER YOUR QUESTION FROM BEFORE. THEIR GOAL IS THE OCTOBER DEADLINE, BUT YOU KNOW YOU COULD DO IT AFTER AND IT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE NEXT TAX YEAR, BUT THEIR GOAL TO GET IT DONE BY TREVOR WON THE TIMELINE OUTLINED MHM. ALRIGHT, WELL. ASK YOUR RESIDENTS FORWARD TO THAT OPPORTUNITY. WILL THERE BE ANY SHORTFALL? IN FUNDING BY MOVING TO A FLAT, RIGHT VERSUS WHAT IS COMING IN NOW. I MIGHT ASK HILL WOULD REPRESENT THE TIM AND THEM TO CONFIRM BUT IT IS NOT EXPECTED. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY WILL CREATE ANY LONG TERM IMPACT. 
          THERE MAY BE A SHORT TERM THAT WOULD BE FUNDED BY RESERVES OR THERE. THIS IS MEANT TO BE BENEFICIAL AND NOT COST ANYONE AND CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE MAINTENANCE. OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. UM OF A LITTLE BIT ALONG THE SAME LINES. OBVIOUSLY THE MAINTENANCE OF THEIR REQUIRES THE COLLECTION OF THESE FEES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THE ATTACK THE TAXES BEING COLLECTED BY DENTON COUNTY OR HIGHLY ENFORCEABLE. WHAT'S THE RATE OF NON PAYMENT ON O A FEES? I'D HAVE TO ASK TIM WHAT THE COLLECTION RATE IS HERE IN HARVEST. THERE IS ONE OF THE REASONS QUITE FRANKLY, WE CREATED THE PIT IN THE FIRST PLACE IS TYPICALLY AS A HIGHER COLLECTION RATE. THERE IS VERY CLEAR AND FORCE MINT PROVISIONS WITH THE PITS. UM BUT I THINK THE EXPECTED BASED ON THE HISTORY OF COLLECTIONS THAT WE DON'T EXPECT. ANY ISSUE HERE. 
          IT'S A DECISION THAT IS COMFORTABLE WITH. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TIM MILLS ON THE GENERAL MANAGER OF HARVEST. CURRENTLY HARVEST HAS A 93 POINT. BETWEEN 93 93.5% COLLECTIONS, SO WE'RE WELL, WE HAVE A VERY HIGH COLLECTION RATE ON R. H O S. SO THERE'S VERY FEW DELINQUENCY IF YOU WILL. THANK YOU. FOR THAT ALSO NOTICED IN SLIDE DECK THAT LOOKS LIKE SOME PROPERTY OWNERS IN SMALLER HOMES OR HOMES OF LESS VALUE WOULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY PAYING MORE ULTIMATELY, INITIALLY. HOPEFULLY AS THEIR VALUES INCREASE, THEY WILL GET THAT BENEFIT IT AS YOU LOOK AT THE TAX ROLL. IT WAS CLEAR THAT SOME OF THE VALUES PROBABLY WE'RE NOT SHOWING A FULLY CONSTRUCTED HOME YET, SO IT'S WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS INITIALLY LAST YEAR, THE TARGET NUMBER WAS HIRING THE BENEFITS KICKING BETTER NOW. THE BIGGEST REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW ON WANT PEOPLE FROM HARVEST PILING IN THIS COUNCIL CHAMBER GOING OUR ROAD SOCCER OR, YOU KNOW THINGS ARE BROKEN, AND THE REASON IS THERE'S NOT THE FUNDS , SO THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE THOSE THINGS WERE THOUGHT. 
          THANK YOU. CERTAINLY ENOUGH LEFT TO DEVELOP. THAT IS THE GOAL THAT DEVELOPED TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T OCCUR. AND I WOULD SAY IF IT'S THE COLLECTION RATE IS OVER 93% THAT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN MOST KOALAS THAT I'M AWARE OF IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WHICH IS USUALLY AROUND 85. THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF MONEY THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT ROADS, DOES IT? WORDS ARE PUBLIC ROAD. THIS IS THIS IS THE OPERATIONS OF THE CRIPS AMENITIES, PUBLIC PARKS, THE LANDSCAPING ENTRYWAY MONUMENT. OKAY THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL. PETITION TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE. I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME. AND WHAT IS WHO HAS 
          [00:25:05]
CONTROL AT THIS POINT OF THE BOARD RESIDENTS DEVELOPER AT THIS STILL AT THIS STAGE. OKAY. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RESIDENTS ON THE BOARD. NOT THE H ONE MORNING, AND WHEN WOULD THEY GET ACCESS TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD. OKAY SO THEY WOULD HAVE AT LEAST REPRESENTATIVE NEXT YEAR IF THEY WANTED TO, UM , YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME SAY IN A WAY DO SETTING WHICH CAN BE CHANGED. FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE FUNDED CORRECTLY. OKAY? WHAT'S THE CURRENT BUDGET OF THE PIT? I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. AND THEN. 
          OBVIOUSLY NOW YOU'RE NOT RECEIVING THAT MORE MONEY, SO WE NEED TO GO UP BY THAT VALUE. 
          RIGHT RIGHT NOW THE WAY DUES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH INDEPENDENCE APPROXIMATELY $770 AND THEY WILL GO UP TO $1800. AND THAT THAT IS , THE INCREASE IN NATURE AWAY WILL MAKE UP FOR THE DECREASE OF NOT HAVING A TAX PAYMENT. SO THIS WHOLE PRESENTATION SAVE SAVE. SAVE THAT LITTLE PIECE OF INFORMATION WAS IT'S TRUE. NOT IN THERE. AND THEY DON'T HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THEIR OWN TO A BOARD SO THEY CAN'T CONTROL THAT THIS NUMBER IS FIXED, AND THAT NUMBER IS UP TO HILLWOOD TO DECIDE SO THE TAX RATES ACTUALLY. SURE, BUT IT'S STILL FIXED. TAX RATE IS FIXED. YES. H U N DUES OR NOT. OKAY? AND THIS WON'T COST ANY OTHER CITIZENS IN NORTHLAKE. ANY MONEY? IS THAT A CORRECT STATEMENT? ONLY PEOPLE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PITTER. YOU'RE GONNA BE IMPACTED BY THIS DECISION. ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF APPEARED IT ONLY IMPACTS PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE PIT. WELL, YOU GUYS HAVE A WHEN YOU COME TO COUNCIL FOR LOOKING AT THIS PRESIDENT. 
          DISSOLUTION WILL YOU HAVE FEEDBACK FOR US ON HOW MANY RESIDENTS SUPPORT DON'T SUPPORT AND DIDN'T ANSWER. OKAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE NEED WE CAN'T COME TO YOU WITHOUT THEIR SIGNATURES. OKAY? AND WE'LL KNOW HOW MANY WE HAVE, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE WE HAVE TO HAVE 50% OR MORE WHAT WE HAD HOPED TO SEE. RIGHT I MEAN, ANYBODY MAKING A DECISION LIKE THIS WOULD HOPE TO SEE IS THAT YOU HAVE A GROUNDSWELL OF SUPPORT FOR THIS RIGHT. SO THAT'S 80. 
          HOPEFULLY 80 PLUS PERCENT. SO IT'S NOT THIS REALLY TIGHT, YOU KNOW, 50. 52 48 KIND OF BALANCE BECAUSE THAT MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT AS WELL. SO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN MAIN REACH THOSE TYPES OF GOALS TO SHOW VERY STRONG SUPPORT FOR US, THEN IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER FOR COUNCIL AS WELL. AND I GUESS MAY GO TO MR BOYER'S QUESTION THE PRESENTATION THAT WILL BE MAKING TO THE HOMEOWNERS IS MUCH MORE DETAILED THAN THIS LOT MORE INFORMATION. JUST WE WANTED TO I'M THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO BE GIVING IT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET A GOOD RESPONSE BECAUSE THAT'S WHY I WAS HIRED TO DO THAT. THERE'S ONE OTHER COMPONENT HERE THAT I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. AND I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE GLOSSING OVER IT. BUT JUST WHEN WE SWITCH FROM TAXES TO PAY FEES, YOU LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECT THOSE ON YOUR ON YOUR INCOME TAXES, SO ANYBODY UNDER THE 10,000 LIMITS IS GOING TO LOSE 25% OF THAT $700 VALUE IN TERMS OF THEIR SO THERE'S ANOTHER LITTLE COMPONENT THERE SO IT MIGHT MAKE THE BREAK EVEN A LITTLE HIGHER MIGHT TAKE THE BREAK EVEN POINT AS FAR AS GETTING EVERYBODY BEYOND THAT POINT, MAYBE ANOTHER YEAR, BUT I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING, AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE RESIDENTS ARE OVERWHELMING AND SUPPORT I THINK YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA WANT TO DO WHAT THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO DO, BUT I JUST MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ALL ALL THE MATH HERE TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERS IT. BUT I TRUST YOU TO DO THAT, AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE PETITION WHEN IT COMES IN. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS GOOD OKAY? TO MEDIA FOR THE OTHER 19 VERSIONS. BEFORE YOU HAVE YOUR MEETING. UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALRIGHT I HAVE THREE CARDS TO

BUT YOU GAVE THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AT THE TIME. 20,000 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IN THE RESIDENTS WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. I TALKED TO QUITE A FEW OF THEM. AND I THINK WE SHOULD GO TO THE NEW 40,000 THIS YEAR.

          [5H. Consider Resolution 22-29, electing a Mayor Pro Tem for the Town of Northlake, to serve for a period of one year]
IS ELECTING A MAYOR PRO 10. IT IS OUR REQUIREMENT TO ELECT A MAYOR PRO TEM EACH YEAR, WHICH IS THE, UH THERE. THERE AREN'T ANY DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE MAYOR PRO TEM OTHER THAN IF THE MAYOR IS ABSENT. IN WHICH CASE THE MAYOR PRETENDING HAS TO STEP IN LEGALLY TO CONDUCT THE BUSINESS OF THE TOWN. UM ALSO, UH, MAYOR PRO TEM HAS THE POWER TO PUT THINGS ON THE AGENDA. 
          WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT MORE RESPONSIBILITY THAN THAN A COUNCIL MEMBER, WHICH WE REQUIRE TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA.

          [00:40:02]
HAVE TO DO THIS TONIGHT COUNCIL SINCE YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT THIS IN THE BRIEFING, BUT YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND ACT WE DO HAVE. I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE A STRICTER DEADLINE ON THIS TO GET DONE. 
          WHAT IS THE DEADLINE ON THIS ONE? JOY OKAY, WE HAVE JULY 1ST . THAT WAS THE DATE I WAS THINKING OF FOR THE LAST CONVERSATION. OKAY SO WE HAVE A DEADLINE TO GET THIS DONE BY JULY. 1ST UM AND WE NEED TO YOU NEED TO. IF WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS, WE NEED TO DEFINE THE AMOUNT BY WHICH YOU'D LIKE TO INCREASE IT. I KNOW THERE'S A PROPOSAL THERE FROM STAFF THAT THEY HAVE MODELED. BUT WE'LL NEED TO DISCUSS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. STAFF. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? I MEAN, WE HAD THE PRESENTATION. SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU BRING UP THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT WOULD LIKE IT AS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GET A PROGRAM DONE, AND SO THAT SO IT CAN GO INTO PEOPLE'S TEXAS IMMEDIATELY AND I BELIEVE THEY'LL HAVE TO SEND OUT CORRECTIONS FOR THOSE THAT ARE AFFECTED. BY THIS, SO THE SOONER THE BETTER IS OUR ONE COMMENT. 
          AND A STAFF. I BELIEVE THEY'RE PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR WHY THIS AMOUNT WAS CHOSEN AS BECAUSE IT MODELS WITH THE CAP IS ON APPRAISAL INCREASES, WHICH IS ABOUT 10% A YEAR BEING ABLE TO RAISE THIS WOULD EFFECTIVELY NEGATE AS THE INCREASE. EXACTING IS OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR WAS 49,000. I SAID, LET'S LET'S JUST ROUND IT TO 50,000. BUT YES, THAT'S THAT WAS THAT WAS A RATIONALE. YES, SIR. WHAT I KNOW YOU MENTIONED HERE THAT THE PRESENTATION THAT THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE IS AROUND 3 50. NOW THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE TOWN AT LARGE. IS THAT JUST THE 2 63. 
          THAT YOU MODELED OUT. DID YOU GO TO THAT? THAT'S THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE OF HOMESTEADED RESIDENTS HOMESTEADED RESIDENTS . OKAY SO WE DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC OVER 65 POPULATION OF WHAT THEIR HOMES ARE WORTH. NO OKAY, BUT IF THEY ARE HOMESTEAD RESIDENTS THAN THEY'RE LIKELY CAPPING EACH YEAR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND SO OTHER VALUES PROBABLY BE TRAINING LOWER THAN A NEW BUILD AT THIS TIME. OKAY? ALRIGHT. GOOD MATH. THANK YOU, AS USUAL. ALRIGHT COUNSEL. YOU CAN DISCUSS WHAT I WEIGH IN ON THIS. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? I THINK COUNCIL NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT INTENTIONS LOOKING FORWARD, RIGHT IF WE WANT TO KEEP ADDRESSING INCREASES YOUR OVER YEAR AND BUMPING THIS AS AS NECESSARY OR IF YOU WANT TO. TAKE A BIG JUMP. 
          I MEAN, THERE'S TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT THAT, BUT THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO AS MUCH IN FUTURE YEARS. IT'S ALL CUMULATIVE. SO YOU PAY LESS. THIS YEAR. YOU PAY LESS FOR FUTURE YEARS AS WELL. 
          BUT JUST SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS A GOOD DISCUSSION TO HAVE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT A HUGE BUDGET IMPACT. SO. YEAH, THERE IS NO CONCERN WHATSOEVER ON THE COST OF THIS TO TOWN RESOURCES. WE ARE GROWING AT A PACE THAT ALLOWS US TO PAY OUR BILLS. SO THIS WILL BE THIS IS PERFECTLY FINE FROM THAT STANDPOINT FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT. OTHERS WENT AWAY IN FROM A AGAIN FROM T LOOK LIKE? IF IT WERE MATCHING 100,000? I MEAN, SO IT DOUBLE A DOUBLE DOUBLE IN, UM, IN THE COST TO US FOR YEARS, SO THE OTHER WE'RE GOING 35 SO WE'D GO WE GO 80 85 SO IT MM. PROBABLY DOUBLE DOUBLE 1.5. YEAH OVER TIME. THE OTHER RISK OF DOING THIS IS A THE OTHER OPTION THAT YOU'VE SEEN CITIES DO YOU IS THEY DO IN OVER 65 FREEZE AND THE PROBLEM WITH AN OVER 65 FREEZES, IT CAPTURED REVENUES AT SUCH A RATE, AND IT DISPROPORTIONATELY PUTS COSTS ON THOSE UNDER 65. BUT IT ALSO DOES IS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WHO ARE OVER 65 IS TO MOVE INTO YOUR COMMUNITY. THEY'RE NOT USING ANY LESS SERVICES, SO THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES ARE BORN THOSE WHO ARE UNDER 65, SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING THE MORE YOU INCREASE THIS, THE MORE YOU'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT PEOPLE OVER 65 MOVING INTO YOUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE YOU'RE OFFERING TAX ADVANTAGES FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANALYSIS TAX. FOR THE CHILDREN OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT 65 CORRECT, SIR. AND WASHES THE OTHER. ANYONE ELSE WANNA WEIGH IN? SOMEBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE US MATCH ON THE ISLAND AMOUNT. SO I MAKE A MOTION EVERY BUMP IT UP TO 100,000 FOR THE OVER 65 DISABLED. ALL RIGHT. USE YOUR COMPUTER, PLEASE. RIGHT? ANYONE WANT TO SECOND THAT? I GOT THERE. I AM IN FAVOR OF THAT 100,000 IS NOT TOO MUCH IN A YEAR AND WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE KIND INCREASES WE'RE SEEING. SO WHAT WE CAN DO FOR OUR SENIORS, I THINK IS IMPORTANT, SO I'M SATISFIED. THAT'S A GOOD THING. 
          [00:45:06]
THIS WILL BE A THIS WILL BE A SIZEABLE HIT ONE THAT WILL WILL IMPACT THESE FOLKS, AND SO IT WILL BE NOTICEABLE. SO I THINK IT'S GOOD. I'M REALLY NOT 39 SO MY VOTE WILL REFLECT AND ABSTAIN. ALRIGHT ANYONE ELSE WANT TO WEIGH IN NOW THAT THE MOTION OF SECONDS WHEN PLACED OKAY, SO THE MOTIONS FOR 100,000 TO INCREASE BY 85,000 TO 100,000 THE OVER 65 DISABLED WHICH DISABLED IS ALSO IN THIS AS WELL. FOR THE 263 ROUGHLY. AT THIS TIME. JUST JUST CONFIRM BOTH OVER 65 IN DISABLED BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE COUPLED THAT YOU WANT THEM. WAS THAT YOUR INTENTION TO DO OVER 65 DISABLED? YES, THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, SO IT'S THERE. WE'LL OPEN THE VOTING. GO AHEAD, COUNSELORS. ARE WE MISSING? SOMEBODY? HAVE ANY NUMBERS SHOWING UP? IT DOESN'T MATTER IN UNDERSTANDING ANYWAY. OKAY? ALRIGHT VERY GOOD. 
          WE HAVE SIX AND ONE ABSTAINED. ALRIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. ALL RIGHT, UM I'D LIKE TO MOVE. ADAM J. L. J K L LET'S LET'S MOVE ON DOWN TO LET'S GET TO ITEM M TONIGHT. WE'VE GOT A

WE HAVE A STRONG, VERY STRONG CUSTOMER MAGS AND I HOPE TO HAVE THAT AS WELL HERE. IS IT? DO WE HAVE? IF THEY'RE SHIPPED OUT OF HERE. DO WE GET THE TAX BASE? IS THAT THE WAY IT WORKS RIGHT NOW? AT A STATE IT'S NOT CORRECT. I BELIEVE YES. IF IT STAYS IN THE STATE, AND SHE SELECTS THE CYPRESS IN THE ALL CELLS WITHIN THE STATE NOW THEY'RE MADE THEIR OUT OF STATE . THEY MAY NOT BE TEXT, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE TAXABLE BY ANYONE SO OKAY? ALRIGHT. SO GOOD. GOOD QUESTION. THANK YOU. COUNSELORS FURTHER QUESTIONS. WHERE'S YOUR OTHER STORE?

PURCHASING FROM HER STORE WHEN SHE BUILT IT HERE, SO SHE ALREADY HAS SOME CUSTOMERS THAT YOU KNOW, IT ALREADY HAS A BASE HERE PRETTY MUCH SO, UM, AND SHE DIDN'T MENTION THAT.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE OWNER, AND WE AGREED AT THAT BOARD MEETING FOR 15,000. SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT TONIGHT? MM FOR MY OPINION IS THAT I LIKE TO, I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN EGREGIOUS AMOUNT BASED ON THE REVENUE YIELD. AND I PREFER AS A PRINCIPAL TO LET THE WARDS MAKE THEIR DETERMINATIONS AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT WILDLY OUT OF LINE OR SET SOME DIFFICULT PRECEDENT . AND I'M OKAY WITH WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS, SO MY THOUGHT IS TO APPROVE, AS IS THROUGH WHICH. PORTION OF THE PIONEER GRANT. THIS IS ACTUALLY FALL UNDER BECAUSE WE HAD, YOU KNOW, GROCERY STORES, RESTAURANTS AND I BELIEVE SOME CATEGORY RIGHT? IT'S A. SMALL RETAIL STORE. YEAH. WAS THAT ONE STRUCTURE LOOTING AT ALL? I'M SORRY. THE ONLY CLOTHING STORE WE HAVE. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF WE HAD A PROVISION FOR THE TEARS OF THOSE OR IF IT WAS JUST KIND OF EMBER. THAT WAS PER THE SCHEDULE.

WE ARE BACK TO IN ORDER, J. K AND L. SO UM, WE NEED TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ITEM J TONIGHT. 
          SO IS THE CHIEF'S GONNA COME GIVE US A PRESENTATION. RIGHT? MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM WAE HAD AN OFFICER THAT LEFT NOT TOO LONG AGO, OFFICER CODY LONG HE HAD SERVED HERE FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS, BUT HE HAD A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ANOTHER POSITION. UM IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, NOT WORKING AS A POLICE OFFICER, BUT HIS DESIRES TO STILL REMAIN A POLICE OFFICER, AND WE HAD A RESERVE PROGRAM. EARLY ON. BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS NEVER RATIFIED BY COUNSEL. 
          SO IN 2012. WHEN I CAME HERE, THIS SLOWLY LEFT SO WE HAVEN'T HAD RESERVES FOR PROBABLY NINE YEARS. BUT NOW SINCE OFFICER LONG HE'S GOT SOME SPECIAL SKILLS. HE'S AT ONE OF OUR TRAFFIC OFFICERS AT THE TIME ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR UM LOTS OF TRAINING, HE WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK AND DO 16 HOURS A MONTH. ON HIS OWN TIME. IT'S NOT NOT FOR COMPENSATION, AND I'VE ALSO HAD OTHER OFFICERS AND EVERYONE THAT WE HIRE AS A RESERVE OFFICER WILL BE A FULLY LICENSED POLICE OFFICER. THEY WON'T BE, YOU KNOW, JUST AN EMERGENCY. SITUATION. SO WE'VE HAD PEOPLE FROM HOMELAND SECURITY THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH BEFORE, IN CASES THAT HAVE SPECIAL SKILLS IN FORENSICS. OTHER FORENSICS OPERATORS HAVE COME AND ASKED TO BE RESERVED, BUT THEY WERE PICKED UP BY ANOTHER AGENCY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A RESERVE PROGRAM. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE WHY WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS JUST SO WE CAN HAVE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WITH CERTAIN SKILLS THAT COME BACK, AND ESPECIALLY LIKE ONES THAT WE KNOW ALREADY THAT WORKED FOR US. HAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE BUT ALSO BE SUPPLEMENTARY TO OUR OFFICERS. OKAY THANK YOU, CHIEF . APPRECIATE THAT, UM, WHEN CLERICAL CORRECTION ON THE ON THE RESOLUTION, OR IS IT AN ORDINANCE? WE LEFT A BLANK AND WE GOT VERSION CONTROL MIXED UP BETWEEN ROBERT AND HAD BEEN. 
          IT'S FIVE WILL BE THE NUMBER AND NOT TO GO OVER AND AS WE GROW, WE MAY COME BACK TO YOU TO GROW THE NUMBER OF RESERVES BUT NO MORE THAN FIVE RESERVED OFFICERS AT A TIME, OKAY? SO CHIEF THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED REALLY CAREFULLY. SO I APPRECIATE YOU COMING, BUT I THINK THE CAUTION . I JUST WANT TO BE SURE OF IS THAT WE'RE INTRODUCING OFFICERS FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS. UM OBVIOUSLY TRUST YOUR ABILITY TO VET THEM. BUT ARE THEY GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH A SIGNIFICANT VETTING PROCESS WITH YOU? AND I UNDERSTAND THAT OFFICER WHO'S PARTY BEEN HERE. I MEAN, THAT SEEMS LIKE A TERRIFIC OPPORTUNITY. I MEAN, OFFERING FREE LABOR. THAT'S GREAT. DO THEY OPERATE IN THE SAME LEGAL JURISDICTION AS THEY WOULD WHILE THEY'RE SERVING FULL TIME HERE? THEY'RE JUST NOT BEING PAID. AND ALSO, UM YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO KNOW HOW HOW WILL THEY BE DISTINGUISHED? SOME OF THE LANGUAGE HERE SAYS THAT PROVIDE THEIR OWN UNIFORM. THEY ARE THEY GOING TO BE PLAIN CLOTHES ARE GOING TO BE IN A DIFFERENT UNIFORM. JUST HOW DOES THIS WORK ON THE STREET? IF IT'S NOT SOMEBODY THAT'S KNOWN TO OUR PUBLIC, THEY WOULD LOOK EXACTLY LIKE US. THERE'LL BE NOTHING PROVIDE THEIR OWN UNIFORM, MAYBE A SPECIFIC MODEL THAT WE WERE SPECIFIC SHIRTS, PANTS, SAME PATCHES, EVERYTHING ELSE. EVERYTHING WILL BE THERE. STILL LICENSED POLICE OFFICER WILL BE A LICENSE POLICE OFFICER FOR THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE JUST IN THE RESERVE STATUS INSTEAD OF FULL TIME STATUS, OKAY, AND WHAT'S UM, ON A REGULAR BASIS? FOR WHAT PURPOSE WOULD YOU CALL ON THEM? WELL LIKE AFTER LONG. HE WANTS TO COME BACK AND KEEP HIS LICENSE VALID SO HE WILL COME OUT WORK, YOU KNOW WEEKENDS ON TRAFFIC CONTROL OR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT OR THINGS LIKE THAT. WE HAVE THE NASCAR RACES. WE HAVE THE FIVE K 10-K. THEN COME 
          [01:10:04]
OUT AND HELP OUT WITH TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR THINGS LIKE THAT, AS WELL. OKAY IN EMERGENCIES, EMERGENCIES AS WELL. CORRECT SPECIFIC THINGS WITH OFFICER LONG SPECIFICALLY AS WE HAVE A FATALITY ACCIDENT. HE'S TRAINED TO WORK THOSE AND WITH A CRASH TEAM. SO THAT'S ANOTHER BENEFIT THAT WE HAVE WITH HIS EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA. RIGHT HERE. HIM. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF ALL THE OTHER ONES. IF WE DO DECIDE TO HIRE ANYMORE, BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO DO UP TO FIVE, THEY'LL BE FULLY VETTED WILL BE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHO WE HIRE AND WHAT THEIR SKILL SET IS. 
          OKAY SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SPECIALIZED SKILL SETS HERE. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR JUST LOOKING FOR OFFICERS WHO LIVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE FROM JURORS OF THE JURISDICTIONS LIKE TO HAVE MORE SPECIALIZED. ESPECIALLY WITH THE FORENSIC AND TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUNDS, ALL RIGHT, AND IF THERE, LET'S SAY IT'S IF THERE'S AN ACTIVE OFFICER FROM ANOTHER JURISDICTION THAT'S NEARBY, AND THEN WE'RE USING THEM. AT OTHER TIMES. I UNDERSTAND IT'S THEIR DISCRETION WHAT THEY DO ON THEIR FREE TIME BUT USING AN OFFICER FROM ANOTHER JURISDICTION. I DON'T WANT TO GET IN A POLITICAL BATTLE BECAUSE SOMEONE GETS HURT ON OUR WATCH OR WERE USING HIM TOO MUCH WON'T HIRE SOMEBODY THAT'S WORKING FOR ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THEY HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. OKAY BEFORE THEY COME AND BE RESERVED WITH US, ALL RIGHT? AND YOU'RE GONNA CHECK THE REASONS WHY THEY'RE AT A LOT OF ENFORCEMENT. OKAY? DEFINITELY OKAY. I APPRECIATE YOUR CANDOR. I JUST WITH THIS TYPE OF THING, I YOU KNOW, WE'RE PUTTING PEOPLE IN THE FIELD WITH AUTHORITY AND I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A SHORTCUT AROUND. THE CARE. WE PUT INTO MAKING SURE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE DOING THE RIGHT JOB AND THEY'RE PROPERLY SUPERVISED OUR REPUTATION AND OUR WORK ETHIC IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND MAKE SURE WE HIRED THE RIGHT PEOPLE. I BELIEVE YOU. OKAY COUNSELORS. I'LL BE QUIET FROM THAT. LET YOU GUYS THERE A MINIMUM TOUCH POINT . YOU KNOW, THEY MUST MUST COME IN FIVE HOURS A MONTH. JUST 16 HOURS. 16 HOURS. OKAY, SO THEY'LL BE DOING SOMETHING WITH US. BASICALLY VOLUNTEER STANDARDS THAT COULD BE TRAINING THAT COULD BE WORKING THE STREETS WITH ANOTHER OFFICER, OR , YOU KNOW, WORKING TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT THINGS LIKE THAT. RUNNINFOR GUYS WHO'S OUT IN YOUR SHORT THAT DAY . I REALLY WANT TO USE THEM THAT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GONNA GET CALLED OUT FOR THEIR REGULAR JOB TO DO THINGS AS WELL. WELL THAT'S THAT'S VERY GOOD DISTINCTION TO MAKE, THEN THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THEM THAT WAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHIEF. ANYTHING ELSE IF THEY'RE COVERED BY INSURANCE BY BEING THIS KIND OF THE POINT OF THE ORDINANCES, THEY WILL BE COVERED BY TML INSURANCE THROUGH THE TOWN. SO THEN, THEN WE HAVE PROTECTION IF THEY'RE INJURED, OR MAKE A BAD CHOICE OR SOMETHING CORRECT. ANY OTHERS TONIGHT. WAITING ON THIS. OTHER JURISDICTIONS. HOW MANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS AROUND US USE THIS MODEL? THERE ARE SOME AGENCIES THAT ARE SMALLER, THEY USE RESERVES. SOME OF THE LARGER AGENCIES ARE GETTING AWAY FROM EXCEPT FOR LIKE A DALLAS OR FORT WORTH. THEY HAVE THEY HAVE OTHERS. OR GALLIPOLI HAS A FEW RESERVES. JUSTIN I BELIEVE, HAVE SOME FIRE MOUND DENTON, THE COLONY. THEY USUALLY DON'T USE RESERVES. THE ONES THAT I'VE TALKED TO SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE. 
          BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO GET PEOPLE TO COME IN BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET THEIR MANDATED 40 HOURS OF TRAINING, AND SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO GET THOSE OFFICERS TO COME IN AND GET THEIR TRAINING. 
          IN THE PAST A LOT OF AGENCIES THAT USED TO JUST AS A WANT TO KEEP MY LICENSE CAN CAN YOU HOLD MY COMMISSION, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M GONNA DO. I'M GONNA MAKE IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE AN OFFICER FOR THE TOWN OF NORTH, LIKE, EVEN AS A RESERVES THAT HAS COME OUT OF WORK. MM. THAT'S GOOD. YOU GOTTA STAY IN SHAPE AND KEEP SHARP AND ALL THAT I MEAN, 16 HOURS A MONTH. FROM WORK STANDPOINT. I MEAN, I'M SURE YOU CAN GO SEVERAL YEARS AND STAY FAIRLY FRESH. BUT IF YOU'RE NOT DOING THE JOB ALL THE TIME AND KEEPING UP WITH ALL THE RIGOR OF IT, WE DON'T WANT A SITUATION THAT SOMEONE WHO CAN'T DO THE JOB WHEN THEY'RE IN THE MOMENT. PUTTING THEMSELVES OR THE PUBLIC IN DANGER. WHAT WILL ENSURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. OKAY? RIGHT? ANYTHING ELSE? NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF AT THE MOMENT. APPRECIATE. LISTENING TO MY QUESTIONS, BUT GET THIS RIGHT? OKAY? COUNCILOR SESSIONS IS. OUT THERE WITH THE MOTION. MONTINI'S GOT A SECOND. WHAT IS YOUR MOTION? BY THE WAY THAT WE ARE STANDING MY MOTION IS THAT WE ESTABLISHED THE RESERVE POLICE FORCES DESCRIBED BY CHIEF CRAWFORD WITH LIMITATIONS ON THE SIZE AS PROPOSED BY STAFF. TIME. 
          IS THERE ANY OTHER DISTINCTIONS IN THIS CREATION THAT WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING. OKAY. SO, AS IS UNDOCUMENTED. RIGHT? MOTION AND SECOND HAVEN'T BEEN PRESENTED. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. OPEN THE VOTING. ALRIGHT UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. WELCOME BACK OFFICER LONG. THANK 
          [01:15:13]
YOU. ALRIGHT, ITEM K 22-30. AUTHORIZED TOWN MANAGER AND INTO A CONTRACT FOR DESIGN SERVICES 
          [5K. Consider Resolution 22-30, approving and authorizing the Town Manager to enter into an agreement for consulting and design services for entryway monumentation with Halff Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $100,000]
FOR ENTRY MONUMENT ATION WITH HALF ASSOCIATES IN THE MOUNTAINS TO EXCEED $100,000. SO MR COREN TELL US ABOUT THIS AND WHAT WE THINK WE CAN GET FOR 100,000. YES SIR. AND WE HAVE THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS. FOR THIS ENDEAVOR. THIS WAS PART OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN UM AND PART OF BEING AN ICONIC TOWN, SO WE PUT OUT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. WE RECEIVE FOUR AND WE HAD A COMMITTEE OF TOWN STAFF REVIEW AND THE CLEAR CUT IN TERMS OF EXPERIENCES, REFERENCES THE APPROACH OF THE PROJECT. THE TEAM THEY PUT TOGETHER IN THE SUBCONTRACTORS WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND. HALF ASSOCIATES WERE . OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH HALF THERE ARE CONSULTING ENGINEER THIS WAS AN OPEN COMPETITION, AND THEY SHOWED THEMSELVES UM. TO TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AND THEY GAVE US A GREAT PROPOSAL, AND THEY HAVE SOME GREAT EXAMPLES OF WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE, SO WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS RECOMMENDATION. OKAY UM, SO IT'S ON THE BASIS OF STRENGTH OF THEIR APPLICATION NOT BASED ON THE LOWEST COST, OR WAS IT ALWAYS THE SAME COST FOR ALL OF THEM? BUT HOW DID THEY GO OUT? AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE LOBBY THAT THEY HAVE, YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE COSTS. OKAY THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS WOULD BE TO NEGOTIATE. I HAVE RECOMMENDED NOT TO EXCEED ABOUT OF 100,000 BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION. WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN AND SEE HOW FAR WE CAN GO. MY GOAL IS TO GET US UP TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN TAKE THIS TO THE PUBLIC AND GET SOME INPUT. HAVE A STRONG COMMITTEE. FOCUS GROUP. RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS AND GO THROUGH A NUMBER OF DESIGN SHREDS. SO WE COME UP WITH A DESIGN AND THEN IT THAT POINT WE COULD COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND SEE HIM. HOW DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS FURTHER? DO YOU WANT MORE PUBLIC INPUT? DO YOU WANT TO GET TO ENGINEERING AND BID THE ITEMS, BUT THIS IS THIS IS THE CONCEPT. WE'VE GOT SIX ENTRY LOCATIONS. THIS WILL BE MUCH ROOM. WE NEED THE RELATIVE SIZE AND WE'LL LOOK AT THE RIGHT OF WAY WILL COME UP WITH SOME CONCEPT PLANS FOR DESIGNS. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. OKAY SO THIS ONE IS A LITTLE ODD IN THE SENSE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF WHAT WE'RE BUYING OR BUYING SOME CONSULTING AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'LL BE BACK TO TALK TO US ABOUT WHERE WE GO WITH THIS, BUT I DON'T NOT HAVE A LOT TO LOOK AT HERE OTHER THAN JUST THE CREDIT CARD A LITTLE BIT SO CAN WE HAVE? WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY HERE THAT CAN SHARE US WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DO FOR US FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. OKAY? BE GOOD. HELLO. MY NAME IS KIRK WILSON WITH HALF ASSOCIATES. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. I'LL BE SERVING AS THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AS WELL AS THE PROJECT MANAGER ON CONTACT. UM. WORKING WITH DENNIS HART AS WELL, UM, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS REALLY ? YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW, WITH THE NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES AROUND DFW. AND WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO DO IS TO HELP AS YOU KNOW. IN THE DFW AREA COMMUNITIES ARE GROWING MORE AND MORE TIGHTER TO EACH OTHER. FOR A WHILE COMMUNITIES ALWAYS HAD LANDSCAPE. THEY'VE HAD A PRAIRIE . THEY'VE HAD A STREAM. THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING THAT DESIGNATED IN THAT SEPARATED THEM FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES. THAT IS NOW STARTING TO CLOSE IN AS HOMES. NEW RESIDENTS COME IN NEW BUSINESSES, AND SO NOW COMMUNITIES ARE REALLY TRYING TO LOOK FOR WAYS. TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. NEITHER IDENTIFY A PAST. PRESENT OR FUTURE WHO YOU WANT TO BE WHO YOU'VE BEEN, AND THIS TYPE OF EFFORT REALLY STARTS TO BRING THAT COMMUNITY IN AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS OUR LEGACY. THIS IS WE WANTED TO FIND OURSELVES AS AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. AT THE END OF THE DAY IS TO BRING WHAT YOU ARE WHAT YOU WANT 
          [01:20:01]
TO BE INTO THE PRESENT AND REALLY HELP THE COMMUNITY. UM JOIN US ONE IN YOUR KIND OF, UH AH, ICONIX ICONIC. MONUMENT ATION THINGS LIKE THAT. HOW FAR CAN WE GET? THAT HAS TO BE WORKED OUT HAS TO BE WORKED OUT. IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO GET INVOLVED. WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO? WE HAVE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE JUST AS SIMPLE AS STONE MONUMENT ATION ALL THE WAY INTO WORKING WITH ARTISTS AND SCULPTORS. SO YOU YOU'VE GOT THAT THAT BROAD SPECTRUM OF SWIMMING AND HOW YOU WANT TO GO, AND THAT'S WHERE YOUR COMMITTEE'S ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO TALK TO BRING ALL THAT TOGETHER SO THAT WE CAN NARROW THAT DOWN. JUST TRYING TO GET YOU KNOW ENOUGH INFORMATION HERE ON THIS. AND DESIGN PIECE TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA SEE WHAT WE'RE BUYING. OBVIOUSLY THIS DOESN'T THIS DOESN'T CONSTRUCT ANYTHING CORRECT. THAT'S GOING TO BE LOT MORE THAN THIS, SO POTENTIALLY, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING THOUGHTFUL ON THIS IN THIS PLAN. UM MR CORN. WHAT'S WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR USING THESE FUNDS ONE OF THE STAGE GATES. WE MIGHT EXPECT TIMING. 
          GIVE US LITTLE YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA GO AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, HERE'S SOME SKETCHES. HOW DEEP INTO THE PROCESS YOU'RE GOING TO GO BEFORE WE GET A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON THIS. IT'S UP TO YOU. WE CAN. WE CAN BRING THIS BACK MULTIPLE POINTS. WE CAN HAVE COUNCIL REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD. UM I'D LIKE YOUR. YOUR INPUT. WHAT WHAT YOU WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THIS PROCESS TO GO? LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THE LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED. BUT WE COULD BRING THOSE BACK AND CHECK WITH YOU GUYS AND MAKE SURE THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU KNOW WHAT BESIDES THE STRATEGIC PLAN , IT WAS THE DEVELOPMENT AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 407 IN CLEVELAND GIVES IT REALLY KIND OF FAST FORWARDED THIS NOW THAT IS SIMPLE THAT HAS SINCE SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. BUT AS THESE OPPORTUNITIES COME UP, WE WANTED TO HAVE KIND OF A GUIDELINE OF WHAT WE WANTED TO LOOK LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS WILL BE AN ITERATIVE PROCESS AND WE CAN MAKE THIS AS INVOLVED AS YOU WANT TO, I THINK WITH $100,000 WHAT I WANTED TO GET TO WAS, UM YOU KNOW? IDENTIFY THE LOCATIONS. IDENTIFY THE LOOK. COME BACK TO YOU WITH THIS CONCEPT, AND THEN UM, FIGURE OUT WHERE WE GO FROM THERE INVOLVED DO YOU WANT TO GET THE PUBLIC. UH HOW EXTENSIVE . DO YOU WANT THESE DESIGNS? YOU WANT THEM LIT? DO YOU WANT THEM STATIC? DO YOU WANT THEM? HOW COLORFUL UM, YOU KNOW HOW HOW BIG THOSE THOSE TYPE OF QUESTIONS AND THEN, UM, AT THE END OF THE DAY, UH, YOU KNOW, DESIGN LOCATION SO THAT WE CAN THEN GO TO. IF WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH A DEVELOPER AND HAVE ONE PLACED AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, OR IF WE WANT TO BE PROACTIVE AND GET THE EASEMENTS AND PUT THEM ALL UP AT ONCE. THAT WILL BE THE THAT'LL BE THE NEXT STEP THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU COUNSELORS, I I'M NOT NECESSARILY WANTING TO MICROMANAGE THIS. HOWEVER I DO WANT IT TO BE INCREMENTAL, SO I DON'T I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO AWAY AND COME BACK AT THE END OF SPENDING $100,000 AND THEN SHOW US WHAT YOU DID. I REALLY WANT TO SEE SOME INCREMENTS HERE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY, UM LIKE I SAID , MICROMANAGE IT. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND AT EACH POINT, SO WE HAVE A DECISION I WANT US TO MAKE AS A COUNCIL IS DO WE WANT TO GO FURTHER? IT IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION. DO WE WANT TO GO FURTHER AS WE AS WE SPEND THROUGH THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT IT EACH STEP. WE KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS AND POSSIBLE COST FOR THAT NEXT PIECE, SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT US TO GET TO THE END OF THIS AND THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING. WE HAVE NOTHING TO BUILD RIGHT? SO, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW. DEFINITELY USE THE GROUP THAT YOU'RE PUTTING TOGETHER TO, UM TO GUIDE THIS, BUT I WANT US TO HAVE A FREQUENT LOOK IN OKAY, BOTH ON THE SPENDING AND ON THE PRODUCT, OKAY? THRESHOLDS LIKE YOU KNOW, BUT EACH 25,000 COME BACK TO US OR EACH 33,000 OR I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO BE DON'T WANT TO BE PRECISE ABOUT IT. BUT, UM AT LEAST WITH THE STAGE GATE THAT MAKES SENSE. WELL WE'LL SIT DOWN AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THE BUDGET AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK WITH WITH PHASES AND, UH, BRING THOSE TO YOU AND YEAH. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW QUICKLY YOU WANT TO MOVE. MOVE ON THIS WE CAN COME BACK WITH ANOTHER PRESENTATION, OR I 
          [01:25:03]
COULD JUST SEND A MEMO TO COUNSEL. SO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THIS BUT THE. AND WE CAN BREAK THIS UP INTO MANY AS MANY PHASES. BUT YOU KNOW, NATURALLY, ARE THERE 34 PHASES OR 23, OR. NATURALLY WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES, AS WE HAVE THE INITIAL SIT DOWN WITH STAKEHOLDERS OR COUNCIL JUST TO GET THE INITIAL THOUGHTS PUT TOGETHER. THE SKETCH OR A NUMBER OF SKETCHES. THAT GETS LOOKED AT THAT GETS VOTED ON AND WE START TO NARROW THAT DOWN. WE START TO DEVELOP COST ESTIMATES AS WE GO. SO YOU CAN START TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AS FAR AS WHAT THOSE MONUMENTS WOULD TURN INTO. SO UM, YEAH, THERE ARE PHASES. 
          WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU WANT TO BREAK IT UP IF IT'S OR WHAT ALL THOSE COMPONENTS ARE THE COMMITTEE IS HOW MANY IT'S A COUNCIL MEMBER REPRESENTS THE COUNCIL THAT WE'RE JUST TALKING TO, OR WE'RE COMING TO, YOU KNOW, AND THAT PERSON THEN SPEAKS TO YOU. ALSO, WE JUST HAVE TO PICK UP THOSE VARIOUS COMPOUNDS. BUT THERE ARE NUMBERS WAYS TO GETTING IT DONE. ALL RIGHT. JUST JUST BRING IT BACK TO US AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH THROUGH AND YOU CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON. DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO DRAG THEM OUT TO EVERY COUNCIL MEETING AND PAY FOR THE TNT THERE MIGHT BE COUNCIL MEETINGS WHERE WE NEED SIGNIFICANT INPUT. YES OKAY, AND THAT'S FINE. BUT I DON'T WANT TO DRAG HIM OUT JUST FOR A STATUS UPDATE EVERY EVERY OTHER WEEK. 
          BUT YOU YOU CAN GIVE US A FAIRLY FREQUENT UPDATE. THAT'S BRIEF AND JUST WHERE WE AT WHAT'S GOING ON. OKAY. COUNCIL S ALMOST ALL THE QUESTIONS SO SAID. THERE ARE SIX ENTRYWAYS DREW YES, SIR. 
          HAS A PLAN TO KEEP EVERYONE FREEWAY IDENTICAL. NO IT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE THOROUGHFARE AND THE SPEED. UH AND IT WOULD ALSO, UM, THERE MIGHT BE SOME ABILITY. UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE WESTERN SIDE OF TOWN, IT'S OUR RURAL CHARACTER AREA, SO WE MAY HAVE SOME CENTRAL THEME, BUT WE MAY DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT BACKLIT OR MAYBE LOWER PROFILE. SO YES, AND THAT WILL BE PART OF THE PROCESS WE GO THROUGH, BUT NOT NECESSARILY EXACTLY THE SAME . AND NOT EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE AS THAT. WHAT YOU'VE SEEN. THAT'S CORRECT. YES. YEAH, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE VARIOUS CONDITIONS. YOU KNOW, THE. MM INTRINSIC VALUE, I GUESS. ONE WOULD SAY A OR THE ICONIC LOOK OF EACH ONE OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS AND THEN ALSO LOOK AT IT AND LIGHTLY, HE SAID. 
          SPEED. UH, SAFETY. VISION TRIANGLES, THOSE TYPES OF EASEMENTS. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE WE WERE LOOKING AT BEFORE. WE WOULD JUST GIVE YOU THAT. WE DON'T WANT TO. CREATE A HAZARD FOR ANYBODY. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT COUNSELORS. SO UH, COUPLE THINGS HERE. WE DO NOT HAVE TO EXCEPT THIS AMOUNT. YOU CAN INCREASE IT. YOU CAN DECREASE IT AND YOU CAN REJECT IT OUTRIGHT. YOU CAN ACCEPT IT OUTRIGHT. UM YOU KNOW, WE OBVIOUSLY LEAN ON STAFF TO GET AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT MIGHT GET US TO WHERE WE WANT TO GO. AND SO, TAKING THE VISION THAT YOU'VE HEARD AND THE WORK PRODUCT THAT YOU'VE HEARD. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? SO FAR? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT? I MEAN, THIS WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY THE COUNCIL AT THE RETREAT. I MEAN, IT'S WAS APPARENTLY IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO COUNSEL TO MAKE THESE ALL THIS INITIAL RESEARCH TAKE PLACE. I TRUST HER TO BRING US UPDATES AS NEEDED. AND KEEP US WELL INFORMED SO I'M READY TO GO WITH IT. OKAY? UM I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. UM, I'M STARTING TO STARTING TO THINK ABOUT COSTS BEYOND THE DESIGN AND STARTING TO THINK, UM ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT ENTAIL. 
          BUT I DO KNOW THAT IN CREATING A TOWN THAT HAS AN IDENTITY AND HAS ONE THAT'S PRESENT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT COMMUNICATES SOMETHING THAT CREATES OUR SENSE OF PLACE. UM EVERY CITY ATTEMPTS TO DO THIS, AND AFTER THE FACT THAT IT CAN IT CAN GET TACKY. IF YOU DO IT WHILE YOU'RE GROWING AND YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOUR IT'S A REMINDER OF WHERE WE'RE GOING ALONG THE WAY AND KIND OF LETS US LETS US GUIDED THAT A LITTLE BIT, SO I DO THINK WE'RE AT THE RIGHT POINT TO BE CONSIDERING THIS BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DECIDE IF THIS IS WHERE WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'VE BEEN A VERY I WOULD SAY, ECONOMICAL TOWN IN THE SENSE THAT WE REALLY KIND OF DO THE BASICS. AND WE CAN. WE CAN STAY TRUE TO THAT AND STILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS . UM BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO THINK BEYOND THIS PRICE POINT. 
          UM WE'RE GETTING DESIGN SERVICES HERE AND CONSULTING. WE'RE GETTING AN IDEA OF WHAT WE CAN DO. AFTER THAT, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT CONSTRUCTING THIS STUFF IS GOING TO BE COMMITMENT 
          [01:30:01]
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH LATER. SO I WOULD. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT AT THE MOMENT I'M I WOULD PREFER IF WE SAID NO, NOT NOW OR ACCEPTED, AS IS I THINK THE NUMBER IS PROBABLY RIGHT BASED ON THE ASSESSMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE. IF WE WANT TO DO IT, LET'S SAY LET'S DO IT AS IS, IF WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT, THEN LET'S LET'S LET'S POSITIVE. STOP IT NOW, SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU. I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD ON THAT ISSUE THAT AND WE'VE HAD SIMILAR DISCUSSIONS ON OTHER ISSUES THAT DREW HAD EXTRACTED DIRECTION OUT OF, AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE ORDINANCE AND I WOULD MAKE THAT MOTION. IT'S OPEN FOR EMOTION. ALRIGHT. USE YOUR COMPUTER BILL. ALRIGHT, WE GOTTA MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? ALL RIGHT, MAYOR PRO TEM SECONDS ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IN YOUR MOTION IS FOR AS WRITTEN. OKAY CLARIFYING. ALRIGHT, LET'S VOTE. ALRIGHT, UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, LET'S GET TO WORK. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT ITEM. L 22-31 LET'S RATIFY THE ACTIONS TAKEN 
          [5L. Consider Resolution 22-31, ratifying the actions taken by the Northlake Economic Development Corporation and Northlake Community Development Corporation Board of Directors, approving a feasibility study for a sports venue with CSL, in an amount not to exceed $50,000]
BY THE EC AND CDC APPROVING A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A SPORTS VENUE WITH CSL AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,000. SO BRING US UP TO SPEED, MR POINT, MUCH LIKE THE OTHER ITEM. YOU CAN RATIFY THIS OR REJECTED AND SENT BACK INSTRUCTIONS TO THE BOARDS. THE CDC BOTH AT 25,000. RECOMMEND THIS. WE ARE LOOKING AT A SPORTS VENUE. IN ORDER TO DO THAT. WE NEED A VISIBILITY STUDY AND WE HAD, UM TWO. WOULD ONE I WOULD CALL KIND OF THE HOCKEY FIRST BASKETBALL. SECOND THE OTHER ONE BASKETBALL FIRST HOCKEY SECOND AND THE BOARDS RECOMMENDED THE HOCKEY FIRST. WE ARE UM SO. WHO YOU PICK AS YOUR CONSULTANT KIND OF SETS THE PATTERN FOR ARE IN RESULT AND SO. THE BOARDS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE HOCKEY FIRST CONCEPT. ALTHOUGH THIS STUDY COULD BE USED BY ANY ENTITY. THIS MODEL WOULD HAVE IN BOTH MODELS. THE TOWN WILL FINANCE THE FACILITY. IN THIS MODEL, AT LEAST IN THIS ITERATION OF THE HOCKEY FIRST, THE THERE WOULD BE A GROUP THAT WOULD RENT THE ENTIRE FACILITY AND THEN OR LEASED THE ENTIRE FACILITY AND THEN RENT IT OUT. 
          AND SO IT THE COMMENTS AMONG THE BOARDS WHERE IT'S KIND OF THE SAFER ROUTE. IT'S THE MORE UH, THE OTHER THE OTHER ROUTE WOULD BE THEY, THE COMPANY WOULD JUST MANAGE IT AND WE WOULD GET THE RENTS AND PAY THE BILLS THROUGH THE TOWN FINANCES AND THINGS WENT REALLY WELL. WE COULD DO REALLY WELL, THINGS WENT REALLY BAD. WE COULD DO REALLY BAD WITH THIS WITH THE ONE THAT'S PROPOSED BY THE BOARDS. THIS IS THE MORE THE SAFER ROUTE IT WILL BE A GUARANTEED. AH LEASE PAYMENT 25 TO 30 YEARS AND SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT YET, BUT WHO YOU PICK? SO THE HOCKEY FIRST RECOMMEND CSL BASKETBALL FOR FIRST RECOMMENDED THE OTHER GROUP, AND THE BOARDS WANTS TO BRING FORWARD CSL. THIS WILL GIVE US THE INFORMATION. THEN TO MOVE FORWARD WILL UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIALS WILL UNDERSTAND THE COST OF THE BUILDING WILL ALSO LOOK AT OUR REVENUE STREAMS AND AS WE GET DOWN THE ROAD. THE. THE PERSON THAT'S OF THE GROUP THAT'S LEASING THIS. THEY DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT'S ON THE OUTSIDE, TALKED TO CITY, MANSFIELD TALKED TO ANOTHER NUMBER OF ENTITIES, YOU KNOW THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT HOCKEY AND BASKETBALL OPERATIONS. SO THE COUNCIL WILL DECIDE ON WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE. AND SO THAT LEASE PAYMENT COULD BE MAYBE 100% OF THE DEBT SERVICE TO BUILD THAT BUILDING. IT COULD BE 75% DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO OUTSIDE TO LOOK LIKE. AND I'M JUST MAKING UP THOSE NUMBERS. IT MAY NOT BE 100% IT MIGHT BE 60 AND 90. BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT. THAT FOUR WARNING WE AND I GAVE YOU A BRIEFING A FEW MONTHS BACK ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBLE REVENUE SOURCES FOR THIS, BUT THE VAST MAJORITY IN THIS MODEL WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE GROUP. AND THEY AT LEAST THEY LISTEN TO OUR FACILITY AND THEN SUBLEASING. WAS THERE A. UM WAS THIS UNANIMOUS THROUGH THE 
          [01:35:06]
BOARDS? YES. EXCELLENT. YES. ANH COUNCILOR KICKER ABOUT SOME OF THE DETAILS IN THE CONTRACT AND THERE IS THERE IS A PROVISION THAT THEY CAN CHARGE FOR HOTEL STAYS. I THINK IN IN IN MY RESEARCH ON THIS THIS IS FOR THERE ARE THIS GROUP IS OUT OF FRISCO. AND SO THERE'LL BE LOCAL . SO WE WON'T SEE ANY OF THAT. BUT THEN THEY MAY WORK FOR TACOMA AND HAVE TO DO A PRESENTATION TO THE COMMERCE CITY COUNCIL. WELL, THAT STUDY IS STILL 50,000. BUT THAT TRAVEL WOULD BE EXTRA OR IF THEY'RE IN KENNEBUNKPORT OR WHEREVER THEY ARE SO AND WE'LL KEEP IT WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THOSE EXPENSES AND I DON'T I DON'T ENVISION AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS CONTRACT WILL MAKE SURE WE WOULD DRILL DOWN ON THAT. I AM INCLINED TO LET THE BOARD SPEND THEIR MONEY. UM AND THIS IS PRETTY EXCITING PROJECT FOR THE TOWN, AND IT IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY A DCC DCC SALES TAX. THANK YOU. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO MY INCLINATION IS THAT THIS THIS HAS WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO KNOW. IF THIS IS A DIRECTION FOR OUR TOWN OR NOT, WE NEED TO EXPLORE . IT IS BASICALLY MY THOUGHT. AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE BOARDS HAVE DONE. LISTEN TO A LITTLE BIT OF IT IN IN PUBLIC WHEN THEY MET, UM IT IT CERTAINLY HAS A WAY OF PUTTING US ON THE MAP. UM AND SO I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY ARE AND WHAT THAT LEADS US TO. AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT BY THE CDC TO EXPLORE THIS BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE TREMENDOUS SALES TAX POTENTIAL. FOR THE TOWN AND FOR AMENITIES THAT IN OUR MODEL OF NOT NOT FINANCING AMENITIES THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND. THIS IS A PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT BE PAID FOR DIRECTLY BY THE CITIZENS INSTEAD FINANCED THROUGH A DIFFERENT ENTITY, AND THAT'S THAT'S A VERY THAT'S VERY INTERESTING MODEL ONE THAT I THINK OF FITS OUR MODEL OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT THIS WHAT THIS YIELDS IN TERMS OF A STUDY. IT DOES NOT COMMIT US TO A FUTURE OF PURSUING THIS, BUT IT DOES EXPLORE THE OPTIONS. SO WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF POINTS ALONG THE WAY TO DECIDE IF THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE TOWN. BUT UNTIL WE GET TO THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT DECISION, I THINK IT'S WISE TO CONTINUE TO STUDY IT. SO MY I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS SO FAR. WHAT DO YOU THINK COUNCIL? I THINK IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY AND CONSIDERING THE REVENUE THAT IT COULD GENERATE AND WE JUST SPENT 100 GRAND TO LOOK PRETTY. IT'S BEEN 50 GRAND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY. 
          DREW ON THAT. EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED THE 5 TO 10 THAT WE DISCUSSED IS THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD TAKE OUT OF IT OR SET THE LIMIT OF ITS EITHER FIVE OR 10. RIGHT ARBITRARY. YOU KNOW, WE'LL DRILL DOWN ON THAT. AND, UM. I'LL CONFIRM AND I'LL COMMUNICATE BACK TO THE ENTIRE COUNCIL, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S ALL LOCAL AND SO WELL. WE WON'T SEE THOSE TRAVEL COSTS. BUT IF WE DO WE'LL WE'LL GET A SCHEDULE AND SET THEM OUT. SO THERE CAN'T BE ANY, YOU KNOW, OVERRUNS OR WILD PARTIES OR WHAT HAVE YOU. I THINK HE'S ASKING IF WE CAN JUST SET IT RIGHT NOW AT FIVE OR 10. 
          YOU CAN DO THAT AS WELL. YEAH OKAY, BECAUSE IT DOES, SAY 5 TO 10. AND THAT'S KIND OF WEIRD FOR, YOU KNOW, TO SAY THE LIMIT ON TNT IS BETWEEN FIVE AND 10 AND CYCLE, WHICH IS IT FIVE OR 10? WHICH ONE WHICH ONE WOULD BE NEEDED. DO YOU THINK DOING WELL GO THE LOWER AMOUNT. ALRIGHT ALRIGHT. SO MR MONTANA, YOU MADE THE MOTION. CAN YOU CLARIFY YOUR MOTION MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS PROPOSAL WHILE LIMITING TNEGATIVE $5000. I SECOND THAT. WE'RE LOOKING AT 5% 10% OF 50 SO 2500 AND 5000. ALRIGHT, 2500. OKAY. GOT THAT? THAT'S 5. ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. SO THE MOTION BY ME AND PRETEND MONTINI . WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MOTION IN THE GCC, DC THEY DIDN'T BRING THAT FORWARD SO YOU'LL NEED TO REJECT THIS WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO INCLUDE THAT AND WE'LL GET A SPECIAL MEETING TOGETHER LIKE TO SAY ABOUT THIS WITH MY MOTION. AS I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE ANY T ANY IN THIS. I DON'T THINK THEY WILL INCUR, HOWEVER, IF THEY HAD BRING IN A SPECIALIST FROM SAN FRANCISCO OR GOD KNOWS WHERE. I THINK. EVEN IF IT WAS A 10% IT 
          [01:40:08]
WOULD STILL BE REASONABLE, BUT I WOULD NOT EXPECT TO INCUR ANY EXPENSES. YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF YOUR MOTION. SO AS YOUR MOTION TO APPROVE AS MY MOTION IS APPROVED, AS IS BECAUSE OF THOSE REASONS, OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR POINT COUNSELOR KICKER. I SAW THAT AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND COUNSELOR. BOYER DO YOU DO YOU SECOND ONE SECOND. I WANT THIS TO MOVE FORWARD. OKAY ALRIGHT, SO IT'S ON THE TABLE. ANYONE ELSE ON THE WAY IN ALL RIGHT. OPEN THE VOTING, PLEASE. ALRIGHT. SIX AND ONE. THANK YOU. 
          [6. EXECUTIVE SESSION]
