[2.C. Briefing - Emergency Services District #1 Grant Request]

[00:10:01]

BUT I THINK IT'S FAIR TO ASK AROUND. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO ASK FOR A PROPORTIONAL SHARE, BUT TO ASK EACH COMMUNITY TO DO SOMETHING IN PROPORTION OF THE CITIZENS THAT ARE WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION, AND OF COURSE, THEN IT COMES DOWN TO A MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN. WE CAN AFFORD TO DO THAT. BUT WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GO WITHOUT FIRE SERVICE. IT IS A TYPICAL SERVICE PROVIDED BY MUNICIPALITIES. AND THEY ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE KEPT FROM ACQUIRING ANY MORE FUNDS FROM THE TAX BASIS. SO WE WOULD JUST SUBMIT TO YOU THAT I HAVE HAD A DEEPER CONVERSATION ON THIS ISSUE HAVE SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF OR SO HE SPENT DIGGING INTO NUMBERS.

AND JUST DIGGING IN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR THEIR BUDGETARY DEFICIT WAS JUSTIFIED THAT THEY WEREN'T REACHING THAT THEY WERE DOING WHAT WAS NECESSARY AND REALLY RIGHTING THE SHIP AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE MORE SURPRISES DOWN THE LINE. SO JUST SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE SOME ADDITIONAL WORK AS WELL TO SORT OF SHOW UP AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE STORY. SO THAT WAS A GOOD VIEW. I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME THAT EXTRA STEP. BUT YOU DON'T HAVEN'T NECESSARILY AN ACTION ITEM HERE TONIGHT, COUNSELORS. IT'S FOR A FUTURE MEETING. I WOULD PRESUME WE WOULD TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT AT THIS POINT, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE CHIEF WAS HERE TO TALK TO ALL OF YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING A GRANT OF SOME KIND. AND THEN WE CAN PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK TO STAFF ON WHERE AND HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS, BUT DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE FINANCE? IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER? YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO BRING THAT FORWARD. AND THIS IS BASICALLY $2 MILLION DEFICIT AS A RESULT OF ILLEGAL ACTIONS OF A CERTAIN PERSON THAT'S NOW IN CUSTODY. CORRECT RIGHT SO THEORETICALLY. AND THEN FUTURE IF THIS DEFICIT CAN BE MADE UP THIS YEAR, THEN WE'RE THE SHIP IS RIGHTED THE NEXT YEAR'S DEFICIT IN NEXT YEAR THAT WE WERE MAKING PLANS TO MAKE SURE FOR THE REFINANCING. WE'RE LOOKING TO DO 2025 WE THINK WILL BE RIGHT SIDE UP BACK UP, SO

[00:15:06]

EVERYBODY EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT INFLATION THAT WAS NOT BUILT INTO IT, SO WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT WHAT HAS BEEN LAST YEAR. MADE THE BUDGET TO MATCH WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY MEETING MORE OF A COMBINATION OF ILLEGAL ACTIONS AND JUST PURE BAD MANAGEMENT OF THE FINANCES.

I WON'T BE HERE TO VOTE ON THAT . BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOU AND TO THE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT IS HERE. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT YOU ALL MADE ALL OF THE FIRE. WORKERS HOLE IN ALL OF THEIR PENSIONS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S INVOLVED TOO OFTEN. WHEN WE SEE COMPANIES GO UNDER, THAT'S THE WORKERS THAT SUFFER AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT YOU ALL DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THAT AND YOU'RE PROBABLY BETTER OFF. IT'S GOING TO BE HERE TO VOTE. THANKS SURE. YES IT'S BEEN A IT'S BEEN TEAMWORK JUST TAKING HOLD. IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD. THE SAME APPROACH HERE.

HE TAKES ALL OF US TO WORK TOGETHER AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE DEFINITELY WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THE ASSOCIATION AND ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMING HERE THIS EVENING. SO YES, IT'S BEEN A DEFINITELY TEAMWORK, WHOLE COMMUNITY APPROACH IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, CHIEF FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO GIVE US DIRECTION OR THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW OR IF THEY WANT TO GIVE IT TO US LATER THAT, LIKE THE MAYOR SAID THAT THERE'S NO SCRIPT FOR THIS. THERE'S NO FORMULA FOR THIS. UM, WE CAN, UM WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUNDS DEDICATED FOR THIS. THIS WOULD THIS WOULD WE HAVE AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE? WE HAVE PLENTY OF RESERVES. SO WE CAN DO THIS IMMEDIATELY. WE CAN DO IT AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS AND HAVE IT RANK ORDERED AMONG YOUR PRIORITIES. THIS IS YOUR MONEY. THIS IS THE PEOPLE'S MONEY. THIS IS YOUR BUDGET, SO DIRECT US ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO APPROACH THIS AND IF YOU HAVE A BALLPARK ON WATER, AND YOU KNOW ONE THING THAT WE WILL ASK THE DISTRICT IS WHO ALL THEY'VE APPROACHED AND THEY'VE GOT THEIR GOOD. WE'VE GOT TWO DATA POINTS , BUT OBVIOUSLY WE NEED MORE. THEY SERVE MUCH MORE THAN JUST LANTANA GARGLE THE MARTINSVILLE PARTS OF ROADS AND RANCH, OF COURSE, NORTH LAKE. THAT WAS PART OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK IS WHO ELSE IS GOING TO HELP? BUT I ALSO WONDER HOW MUCH DO THEY NEED? THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT TELLS US THAT AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. OKAY THANK YOU. THEY NEED TWO MILLION. SO IN MY CONVERSATIONS ON THIS, I HAD SORT OF STARTED WITH WHERE OUR GUIDE STARTED WITH THINGS. UM AND I SUGGESTED THAT THEY TARGET ASKING THE OTHER SENATE CITIES AND ENTITIES. AND THAT'S INCLUSIVE OF BELMONT, FOR INSTANCE, AND ALSO ROPES AND RANCH, WHICH ARE NOT NECESSARILY ENTITIES THAT ARE PARTICIPATORY IN SD, BUT THEY PARTICIPATE BY VIRTUE OF CONTRACT AND ROBSON, BUT THAT THE BUT THAT'S SOMETHING BE ASKED FROM EVERYBODY AND WITHOUT NECESSARILY PUTTING A NUMBER ON IT. I HAD SUGGESTED THAT WHATEVER SORT OF WE BALLPARK AND WE GET CLOSE TO WOULD BE PROPORTIONAL TO POPULATION. AND SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT WHAT OUR GUY WAS DOING, AND IT'S THE KIND OF LAST CONVERSATION WE HAD ON THIS, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE LEANING TOWARDS THE HIGHER END OF THIS WITH THEIR GRANTS, POTENTIALLY I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT WILL END UP. BUT ROUGHLY SPEAKING, THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT $10, A HEAD ON THE HIGH END. AND SO I HAD BALL PARKED AND SUGGESTED THAT IT COMES FORWARD TONIGHT AND SUGGEST THAT MAYBE $10 PER PERSON WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT TO SUGGEST TO THE COUNCIL. I THINK THAT'S SOMEWHERE FOR CITIZENS OF NORTH LAKE THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 100,000 MARK AT THE HIGH END. UM BUT I THOUGHT THAT PROPORTION IN THAT SOME OF THE SMALLER CITIES WOULD HAVE A SMALLER ALLOCATION. BUT I SUGGESTED THAT TO A COUPLE OF THE ENTITIES AT THIS POINT THAT THEY CONSIDER SOMETHING PROPORTIONAL LIKE THAT THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. BUT THE KEY BEING THAT THIS IS A AND I SHOULD ALSO ADD. THIS IS KIND OF A LEADER. WE'RE NOT GOING TO COVER THE $2 MILLION. THAT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THAT HERE. BUT THE BACKSTOP AND THIS ISN'T A COMMITMENT YET, BUT IT'S UNDERSTOOD THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP. UH FINISH THIS, BUT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR US TO BE THE FIRST TO STEP FORWARD BECAUSE IT IS RSD BEFORE THEY ASKED THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY TO HELP CLOSE THIS GAP. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

AND THERE'S NO COMMITMENT THERE YET, BUT THESE ARE THESE ARE ALL CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE AND SORT OF HOW WE STEP FORWARD WILL GIVE . YOU KNOW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS TO STEP FORWARD. BUT WE

[00:20:01]

AND I THOUGHT THAT BRIEFING THIS YEAR FIRST WOULD BE GOOD. AND THEN WE CAN SEE HOW THINGS START TO MATERIALIZE WILL HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH THOSE ENTITIES AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO AND ABLE TO DO AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ONCE WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION. AND ONCE ALL THOSE ENTITIES HAVE BEEN APPROACHED. SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE APPROACH. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY RECOMMENDATION, YET IT'S JUST PUTTING A STAKE IN THE GROUND TO SEE WHERE WHERE WILL WE BE IN TWO WEEKS WHEN WE HAVE OUR NEXT MEETING? WELL AND KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE SUPPORT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS THAT COME IN FRONT OF THE FAMILY. IT'S VERY COMMON FOR ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY AS WELL. SO I THINK SOME SORT OF NUMBER PER HOUSEHOLD THANKS SO HECK OF A LOT OF SENSE AS LONG AS THEIR COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO PARTICIPATE. I BELIEVE WE ARE THEIR LARGEST CUSTOMER BY POPULATION. BUT THIS IS ON. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO RISK SAFETY AND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS OR RISK LOSING FIREFIGHTERS OVER IT SO I AGREE WITH THE ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY AND I DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE IF IT'S PART OF THE BUDGET OR PART OF THE UM, RESERVES. ANY OTHERS TONIGHT. THE OTHER THOUGHTS I MEAN, DOES THAT GIVE YOU ENOUGH ? OKAY IF YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE AS IF THIS WAS OUR OWN FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT SOMEHOW FOUND A DEFICIT WE WOULD FIND IT SO LIKE HOW DO WE FUND THAT IS THE QUESTION IN MY MONEY. I SEE THAT IT SAYS WE HAVE A $2 MILLION DEFICIT. BUT IS THAT $2 MILLION? IT'S ALREADY BEEN SPENT OR PROMISED OR IS THAT $2 MILLION THAT WE'D LIKE TO HAVE? CAN WE TRIM THAT NUMBER BACK. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY TO GET THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FISCAL YEAR, SO WE'RE PAYING OUR BILLS WERE GETTING, BUT IF WE DON'T FEEL THAT SHORTFALL IN THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, THEN WE WOULD DIRECTLY RYAN MONEY. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. IT IS A SHORTFALL THAT WE HAVE FOUND FOR VARIOUS REASONS. SO WHICH IS WE'VE INCURRED ADDITIONAL COSTS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WITH ALL THE CRIMINAL CASE HAS BEEN GOING ON THAT WE'RE EVEN SUED ABOUT $200,000 WORTH OF ATTORNEY AND ACCOUNTING FEES THAT WE DON'T KNOW WE HAVE BUDGETED, SO THERE'S A LOT OF EXPENSES WHILE THAT'S THERE. THAT WON'T BE THERE NEXT YEAR, RIGHT? WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF FEES NEXT YEAR, SO IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER NEXT YEAR. FOR ADDITIONAL. YES WE HAVE. WE HAVE A DEBT THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE FILLED, MORE WORKING. DIFFERENT ANGLES. THIS IS JUST ONE APPROACH THAT WE'RE TAKING. WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY ANGLE WE CAN GET, INCLUDING THE REFINANCE OF ONE OF OUR STATIONS TO HELP FILL THAT GAP, BUT I'M DETERMINED WE'RE GOING TO FIND A WAY TO FILL THAT GAP. THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE TO REACH OUT TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND SAY, LOOK, WE'RE IN A SITUATION. IS THERE ANY GRAND OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE CAN SEEK? AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. CHIEF WHEN DOES YOUR FISCAL YEAR END? THE OCTOBER OCTOBER ONE BEGAN JUST LIKE MUNICIPALITIES, SO CHIEF. SO THIS NUMBER WE HAD BROKEN THIS DOWN WHEN WE HAD DISCUSSIONS A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. UM IS A PORTION OF THIS. THE OPPORTUNITY

[00:25:02]

WE DID TALK ABOUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT METHODS, AND WE WENT THROUGH A BUNCH OF GRANTS AND DIFFERENT DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET LOANS AND WE DID HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ALL THOSE. SO JUST SEEING ALL THAT THOSE OF ALL TAKEN PLACE FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME WE DID PROBE ALL THOSE AREAS AND MONEY COMING BACK AND RESTITUTION IN CIVIL SUITS AND THE TIMING OF WHEN THOSE THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN AND WHAT AMOUNTS ARE OUT THERE, AND I WAS VERY PLEASED BY ALL OF THEM ARE ON THE TABLE, AND THAT'S IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'RE TURNING THE COUCH CUSHIONS OVER TO FIGURE THIS OUT. BUT THERE. YOU KNOW, I MADE THIS COMMITMENT THAT WE WOULD FIND A WAY WITH THE ENTITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS SERVICE SURVIVES. AND WE CANNOT DO WITHOUT THE SERVICE, SO IT HAS TO SURVIVE. BUT HOW WE DO SO THIS IS A START. OBVIOUSLY, THE NUMBERS DON'T ADD UP TO $2 MILLION. BUT STARTING WITH AN INCREMENT HERE AND AS WE GET INTO THE SUMMER IF THE GAP ISN'T CLOSED, AND WE DON'T SEE ENOUGH OF IT COMING IN, THEN YES, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE TABLE AND FIGURE THIS OUT. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SOLVE ON OUR OWN. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING UNILATERAL HERE. IT'S NOT ON JUST US TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

THERE'S MULTIPLE ENTITIES HERE, BESIDES JUST CITIES AND THEN THE COUNTY AND THEN ROPES HIM AND THEN LANSANA WHO ARE BY CONTRACT AND THEN CROWD CITIES IN THIS, TOO. AND IN BELMONT, UM, SO THERE'S MULTIPLE ENTITIES HERE THAT HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. BECAUSE WE WILL NOT GO WITHOUT THE SERVICE. WE CANNOT GO WITHOUT THE SERVICE. AND SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO SIT ON THE CASH THAT THEY NEED TO PAY FIREFIGHTERS. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET IT DONE AND GET THROUGH THE YEAR, BUT WE HAVE TO FIND IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT DOESN'T HEMORRHAGE FROM ALL THE ENTITIES FOOTING THE BILL ON OUR OWN, SO WE GOTTA MAKE SURE WE DO THIS CAREFULLY. BUT THIS IS THE RIGHT APPROACH TO COME AND LET'S HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS. BUT THIS IN THE OPEN AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S COMING TO THE TABLE. SO THIS IS THIS IS THE START AND WE'LL SEE HOW FAR THIS TAKES US. THANK YOU. RIGHT? APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, CHIEF MHM. ALL RIGHT.

[2.D. Briefing - Trammell Crow Company Development Project]

[00:30:05]

OKAY OKAY. SO ONCE AGAIN, JAKE MARKS WITH TRAMMELL CROW. FIRST OF ALL, APPRECIATE YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU BEFORE I JUMP INTO IT. ONE THING I WANT TO SAY SO. WE WORK WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. UM I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU THAT DREW CORN AND NATHAN REDDEN AND REALLY THE ENTIRE STAFF AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM FOR ABOUT NINE MONTHS NOW, AND WE HAVEN'T. WE HAVEN'T DEALT WITH ANYBODY IN OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE RESPONSIVE, SOLUTION ORIENTED AND JUST AS AVAILABLE AND SO I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM. UM GOT A GREAT STAFF, SO OKAY, SO LET'S GO TO FIRST LINE, SO I THOUGHT, RIGHT THE FRONT OF THIS . I SHOULD. I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN THERE'S ALWAYS A CONFUSION ABOUT WHO TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY IS AND WHO CROW HOLDINGS IS A LOT OF PEOPLE GET CONFUSED. ARE THEY THE SAME? UM WE'RE ACTUALLY TWO TOTALLY SEPARATE COMPANIES. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT A CONFUSION ABOUT THAT. SO WE ARE OWNED BY CB RICHARD ELLIS OR CBR. THEY'RE THE LARGEST REAL ESTATE COMPANY IN THE WORLD OF PUBLICLY TRADED WERE SUBSIDIARY OF C B R E AND THEN WE HAVE A MULTIFAMILY SUBSIDIARY OF US NAMED HIGH STREET RESIDENTIAL. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INTENTIONS OF DOING ANY MULTI FAMILY. ON THIS PROJECT, BUT I WANTED TO NOTE IT BECAUSE WHERE THEY'RE REALLY GETS TO BE CONFUSION IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT CROW FAMILY CROW FAMILY ONCE AGAIN IS ACTUALLY A COMPETITOR OF OURS, AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ IT UP THERE. THE CROW FAMILY OPERATES A SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY CROW HOLDINGS, ALONG WITH A MULTI FAMILY SUBSIDIARY, TRAMMELL CROW. RESIDENTIAL T. C. R. PCR DEVELOPS MULTI FAMILY PROJECT, WHICH IS OFTEN IDENTIFIED USING THE PRODUCT NAME ELECTION. AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT REALLY GETS CONFUSING IS THAT THEIR MULTI FAMILY NAME IS TRAMMELL CROW RESIDENTIAL AND WE ACTUALLY DON'T AND CAN'T USE THAT NAME. SO VERY SIMPLY CBR. TRAMMELL CROW HIGH STREET IS WHO WE ARE, AND WE'RE TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER ENTITIES JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR. ALL RIGHT, SO WE GO INTO OUR PROJECT . TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY IS THE NUMBER ONE RANKED DEVELOPER BY SQUARE FOOTAGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WE HAVE 18.5 BILLION IN PROCESS RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 9.3 BILLION IN THE PIPELINE. THE LIST OF THE MAP IN FRONT OF YOU ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DONE WITH INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, APPROXIMATELY 30 MILLION SQUARE FEET. UH AS YOU CAN SEE, THE RED DOTS ARE WHERE MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENT MINTS ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S REALLY KIND OF UP IN THIS REGION IS ABOUT FOUR MILES TO THE SOUTH. OF THIS PROJECT WE CALL 35 EAGLE. IT IS AT THE NORTH WEST CORNER OF I 35 EAGLE, JUST NORTH OF, UM, ALLIANCE AIRPORT. IN ALL THOSE DEVELOPMENTS. THESE ARE OUR TENANTS THAT WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WORK WITH. UM MOST OF THE TIME WE'RE BUILDING SPEC DEVELOPMENTS. OCCASIONALLY WE'LL DO BUILDING SUITS. BUT OFTEN THESE COMPANIES COME THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO A BUILDING QUICKLY. UM AND WHILE IT'S TECHNICALLY MORE

[00:35:02]

THE SITE PLANNED AND THIS IS PART OF. I THINK THE FEEDBACK OF WHY WE'VE YOU KNOW, ASKED TO TABLE ARE ITEM AND TO LOOK AT A LITTLE BIT MORE IS THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO SITE PLANS AND THE INTENT OF US SUBMITTING TO CITE PLANES AS IF WE WERE TO GO UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON THIS IMMEDIATELY , WHICH, TYPICALLY WE DO TYPICALLY, WE BUY LAND. WE START CONSTRUCTION AND WE GET GOING.

WE WOULD WE WOULD. IT WOULD BE DEFINITIVE WHAT OUR PLAN WOULD BE, BUT AS WE GO THROUGH SOME OF THE SLIDES SOME OF THE UTILITIES IN PARTICULAR THE ONE THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST CRITICAL PATH FOR US IS THE SANITARY SEWER. IT WILL NOT GET SERVED LIKELY UNTIL ABOUT 2026. SO WHEN WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO SIDE PLANES, THIS WAS ONE OF THEM. 1.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET COULD BE EXPANDED TO ABOUT 1.25 THIS PLAN TODAY, ACTUALLY FINANCIALLY DOESN'T WORK FOR US, BUT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS IF MARKET CONDITIONS CHANGE, UM WE WERE ASKING FOR THE ABILITY TO ALSO BE ABLE TO DO THIS PLAN IN ADDITION TO OUR SECOND PLAN. THIS IS OUR SECOND PLAN. THE BUILDING THREE IS EXACTLY AS THE BUILDING THAT WE HAVE IN THE PREVIOUS PLAN. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT WE HAVE THE TWO SMALLER BUILDINGS OF 770,000 SQUARE FOOT IN A 425,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.

IT'S PART OF OUR CPC MEETING. IT WAS. IT WAS DEFINITELY BROUGHT TO US. CONCERN ABOUT TRAFFIC ON CROSS TIMBERS AND SO FROM A PRELIMINARY INGRESS EGRESS INTO OUR SITE. THIS SHOWS HOW IT WOULD WORK. AND SO IF YOU WERE GOING NORTH BONG ON 35, YOU WOULD EXIT CROSS TIMBERS. YOU WOULD GO EASTBOUND ON CROSS TIMBERS WOULD THEN HIT THE LIGHT THAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED. I BELIEVE NEXT. BY NEXT SPRING, WHEN CLEVELAND GIVES ROAD SHOULD BE COMPLETED. AS I THINK YOU'RE ALL AWARE IT'S JUST STARTED TO BE RECONSTRUCTED AND REROUTED. AT THAT POINT, YOU WOULD GO SOUTH ON CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD, YOU WOULD HIT WHITE AND YOU WOULD TAKE A RIGHT OR GO BACK WESTBOUND ON WHITE THAT WOULD NEED TO BE EXTENDED AS THAT WOULD HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTING OUR OTHER TWO BUILDINGS. SO UM, SO WITH THAT FEEDBACK FROM THE CPC MEETING, WE REALLY WANTED TO STEP BACK AND TRY TO BREAK THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT FOR THE COUNCIL AND THIS SLIDE. THAT'S UP THERE. I REALLY THERE'S A LOT OF NUMBERS UP THERE. THAT'S NOT THE INTENT OF THE SLIDE. THE INTENT OF THE SLIDE IS THAT AS PART OF PUTTING TOGETHER OUR TRAFFIC STUDY, THERE ARE TWO UM ACCEPTED WAYS TO GENERALLY ACCEPTED WAYS TO PROPOSE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT COULD COME UP THERE VIA THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS. AND ONE IS THE HIGH CASE AND ONE OF THE LOW CASE SO MANY MUNICIPALITIES, THE DEVELOPER MIGHT SUBMIT THE LOW CASE SAYING , YOU KNOW, TRYING TO MAYBE PAID A PICTURE THAT LOOK THIS THIS IS WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE IT WILL BE PLUS AND MINUS. WE TAKE THE POSITION. TYPICALLY WHEN WE DO THIS, THAT WE DO NOT WANT THERE TO BE SURPRISES, AND SO WE ALWAYS WOULD DEFAULT TO THE HIGH CASE AND BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GET SOMETHING PASSED UP BASED ON SOME NUMBERS, AND THEN WE

[00:40:02]

COMPARED TO WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE AND THEN WHAT THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS. GOING WESTBOUND. I WON'T GO INTO IT VISUALLY, YOU CAN SEE IT'S VERY SIMILAR GOING WESTBOUND AS WELL. ONCE AGAIN.

WE HOPE THAT THAT WOULD BE A SHORT TERM. UM WAY TO ACCESS THE SITE, AND IT'S POSSIBLE THAT YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY EVEN THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCELERATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SERVICE ROAD, WHICH JOHN I THINK WE'LL TOUCH ON HERE A LITTLE BIT OF POSSIBLY DREW, BUT THIS IS WHAT ACCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE ONCE THE FRONTAGE ROAD IS IN THERE. I BELIEVE THE MAJORITY OF THE TRAFFIC WOULD COME OFF OF THEY WOULD EITHER GOING NORTH BONG WOULD EXIT DALE EARNHARDT. DALE EARNHARDT GO THROUGH DALE EARNHARDT AND THEN COME UP TO OUR SITE AND TAKE A RIGHT THEY COULD POSSIBLY. IF THEY DIDN'T EXIT THERE, THEY WOULD EXIT CROSS TIMBERS. CURRENTLY WHERE THE RAMP IS, YOU WOULD GO UP TO CROSS TIMBERS WOULD COME OUT. WE COME INTO OUR SITE. WE THINK ALMOST ALL OF OUR TRAFFIC WILL GO IMMEDIATELY OUT ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD AND EITHER GO NORTH A AND GET IMMEDIATELY ONTO THE HIGHWAY. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GO UP TO CROSS TIMBERS OR DO A TEXAS YOU TURN INCOME SOUTH PBOND, SO WE BELIEVE THAT WOULD , YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF ANY ISSUES IN THE FUTURE, AND OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD BE A PROPONENT OF TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS ROUNDED ROADS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AS WELL. WITH THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A GOOD TIME IS DREW ALLUDED TO THAT. MAYBE I'LL STEP BACK AND I DON'T KNOW DREW OR JONATHAN. MAYBE I'D HAND IT OVER TO YOU ALL TO TOUCH A LITTLE BIT ON THAT SEGMENT AND WHAT POSSIBLY COULD BE DONE. THEY'RE TRUE. WE'LL JUST CONTEXT THIS FOR A MINUTE, SO I ASKED JOHN TO COME IN THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING THIS PROJECT. UM, IT'S WE'VE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT WE NEEDED TO BE CHASING THE I 35 MONEY THAT DID COME IN LAST YEAR, AND SO YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE FUNDING FOR THIS. FOR CERTAIN SECTIONS OF 35 W AND I'LL LET JOHN EXPLAINED HOW HE GETS THE MONEY TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO, OR AT LEAST IS GONNA HELP US TO GET IT TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. BUT WE PUT IN REQUESTS WITH JOHN TO HELP US THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE SECTIONS AND THE INCREMENTS, THE BRIDGES THE FRONTAGE ROAD COMPONENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THE CHANGES THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE I 35 CORRIDOR WITH A SPECIFIC EMPHASIS ON THE R NEEDS BOTH UP IT UP AT HARVEST AND THEN ALSO DOWN IN THIS AREA. AND THERE'S MORE MORE FUNDING. HE'S THAT'S BEING PURSUED AS PART OF THIS YEAR'S U. T P AS WAS AWARDED LAST YEAR IN THE U. T P UM THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS CRITICAL. IT'S CRITICAL TO NOT JUST THIS PROJECT BUT TO MULTIPLE PROJECTS. AND SO BEFORE I GET INTO ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS ARE CONCERNED WITH THIS PROJECT. I THOUGHT WE JUST TAKE A TAKE A MINUTE HERE AND THEN HAVE JOHN COME AND TALK TO US ABOUT HOW THIS MONEY GETS ALLOCATED. AND WHAT WHAT KIND OF TIMEFRAMES WE CAN EXPECT AND HOW HOW THIS PROCESS GO. SO JOHN, IF YOU CAN COME ON DOWN AND TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW AT THIS POINT ON HOW TO USE THIS MONEY HAS BEEN ALLOCATED. JOHN POLLSTER, INNOVATIVE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS, AND I WORK FOR DREW AND Y'ALL. MOSTLY TRUE. AND THE MAYOR. OKAY SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS SECTION OF 35 W FRIEND ROADS. AH WE INITIALLY WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THAT 35 W. AND THEY'RE RIGHT. PART OF THE REASON WHY WE STARTED MOVING ON THIS FURNITURE ROADS WAS EARLY IN THE DAY, TRAMMELL CROW CAME TO US AND SAID, HEY, WE'RE FIXING TO PUT WHOLE LOT OF

[00:45:01]

INITIALLY WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT THE SECTION OF 35 W FROM BASICALLY JUST SOUTH OF 407 NORTH. THE DEVELOPMENT WAS GOING ON. BUT THE COUNTY THOUGHT THAT WAS, ALTHOUGH WE AGREED TO START ON THAT PORTION WE THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS STILL A LITTLE BIT SHORTSIGHTED WHAT WAS NEEDED IN THE AREA AND SO IN THE COUNTY'S BOND PROGRAM, WE PUT AN ADDITIONAL $10 MILLION IN THE ROAD BOND PROGRAM FOR CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW BOTH THIS SECTION FROM FROM 407 SOUTH TO DYLAN HART BEFORE OH, SEVEN NORTH TO THE MERGE. HAVE BEEN ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEARED SINCE ESSENTIALLY 2020. SO LET MEANS WE ONLY HAVE TO GO INTO DESIGN.

IDENTIFY UTILITIES AND RIGHT ALWAYS THAT NEED TO BE RELOCATED AND THEN GO TO CONSTRUCTION. AND THE OTHER POINT I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT WHEN WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THE FRONTAGE ROADS IN ANY SEGMENT WE CAN DO ANY PORTION OF THOSE FRONT OF DRUGS . WHAT BOUND SOUTHBOUND AND BREAKOUT PROJECTS BECAUSE SINCE THE PROJECTS ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEAR NOW WE CAN BUILD ANY PORTION WHERE YOU WANT AND WHEN WE SAY FRONT OF DRUGS IF WE HIT ACROSS STREET CLEVELAND GIBBS OR 11 71. THE FURNITURE ROAD PROJECT INCLUDES. RECONSTRUCTING THE CROSSOVER OR THAT GREAT CROSSING DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS IN THE SCHEMATIC. AND IT'S FULLY FUTURE DESIGN CONCEPT. SO IF WE'RE OUT HERE AND WE'RE IMPACTING 11 71 WITH PART OF OUR FURNITURE ROAD PROJECT, WE THAT COST THAT YOU SEE OF $190 MILLION ISN'T TO PUT FRIENDS ROADS. SOLELY ON THE GROUND IS TO PUT THE FURNITURE, ROADS AND ALL YOUR CROSS STREETS. ACROSS 35 IN THEIR ULTIMATE CONFIGURATION. SO. UH WE HAVE STARTED WHEN WE GOT STAND TACK ON CONTRACT. WE BEING TEXTED. WE PUSHED THEM TO DO THAT. THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING THE UTILITIES THAT ARE AT IN THE CORRIDOR. AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT A READY LETTER OF JUNE 2025. BUT THAT IS A GUEST. RIGHT AND EVERYTHING IN DENTON COUNTY WHERE YOU ALWAYS PUSH TO THE MAX. SO THIS IS A STANDARD SCHEDULE. THAT WE USE THE TEXT OUR USERS AND THEN WE COME BEHIND THEM. AND TELL THEM THAT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GONNA WANT TO EXPEDITE THAT IN OUR MONEY FOR PROJECTS. DOES THAT? SO WE'VE GOT 100 AND $88 MILLION. EARMARKED FOR THIS CORRIDOR ALREADY FROM TEXT ON THE NEW UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT WILL BE A ADOPTED IN AUGUST. ISSUE OR MAYBE SEPTEMBER. WILL INCLUDE ADDITIONAL, ROUGHLY $100 MILLION IN CATEGORY. 12 FUNDS FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FRONT OF DRUGS AND WHAT WE HAVE COMMUNICATED TO TECH START. IS THE WORD THE LAST PART THAT'LL PROBABLY BUILT. RIGHT IS THAT SECTION ACROSS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FLOOD PLAINS SO AS YOU SAW THE ON THE GRAPHIC WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT COMES OUT TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD AT WHITE AND GOES NORTH. THAT'S THAT THAT PART OF THE FRIENDS ROAD IS WHAT'S NEEDED RIGHT NOW, AND THAT'S THE PART WE WOULD BUILD AND WE WAIT FOR THE PART ACROSS THE FLOODPLAIN LATER WHEN YOU KNOW? MORE CRITICAL AREAS ARE DONE SO ALTHOUGH WE'RE SAYING THAT THE PROJECT IS OUR GOT £2025 FRAME.

THE COUNTY HAS BOND MONEY READY TO GO FOR CONSTRUCTION IF WE WANT TO DO A BREAKOUT WE HAVE REGIONAL TOTAL REVENUE FUNDS STILL AVAILABLE TO US. AND TECH STARTERS. MADE THIS A PRIORITY BY HIRING STAND TACT. TO BEGIN THE DESIGN, SO I SAID THAT ALREADY. WE NEED TO DO IS WORK TOGETHER AS A GROUP, DECIDE WHAT THE TIMEFRAME IS. WE NEED TO HIT AND THEN WE'LL GO TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT AND THE AREA OFFICE TO HIT THAT DAY. BECAUSE THE MONEY IS THERE. THANK YOU, JOHN.

SO TALK TO ME ABOUT FEASIBILITY HERE, SO THE PORTION SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THIS PROJECT AND YOU KNOW, LEAVING ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ASIDE. IN THE CORRIDOR JUST FROM WHITE WAY TO 11 71 AND 11 71 BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION. WHAT WOULD A BREAKOUT PROJECT THAT INCLUDES THOSE TWO ELEMENTS LOOK LIKE ON A SCHEDULE? UH HUH. WHAT'S WHAT'S THE BALLPARK IF WE GOT EVERYTHING ALIGNED AND GOT GOING TODAY, SO YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE A

[00:50:03]

I'VE NEVER GIVEN THE FLEXIBILITY TO LET ONE ISSUE IMPACT ANOTHER. THERE WAS A TIME WHERE WE HAD 24 99 FROM 407 SOUTH UNDER CONSTRUCTION. BUT THE DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR 407 NORTH ACROSS THE LAKE WITH ANOTHER CONTRACTOR AND THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS. AND THEN 407 ITSELF WAS THE THIRD PROJECT AND THEN HOLLAND VILLAGE WAS PUTTING THAT MILLION FIVE SQUARE FOOT OF RETAIL ALL IN THAT

[00:55:03]

MAKING A DECISION THIS FAR OUT GIVES ME A LITTLE A LITTLE DISCOMFORT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT REALLY THE WAY WE DO THINGS. UM BUT BEFORE WE, UM WE LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE IN TEXTILE. FEW MORE SLIDES DRILLING DOWN TO NORTH LAKE AND OUR MASTER PLAN AND HOW THIS POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIP CAN FINISH OUT SOME OF OUR MASTER PLAN. SO J J GOT HAS A FEW MORE SLIDES TO GO TO THROUGH. YES. SO AS. PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT ONCE AGAIN, CLEVELAND GIBBS. THIS IS REALLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE ROADS. CLEVELAND GIVES ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW, I THINK THEY'RE CLEARING AND GRUBBING. AND THEN RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN GO DOWN TO THE RV. UM LOCATION RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER, AND THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE PORTION OF WHITE, UM, WAY THAT HAS BEEN EXTENDED AS PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE EXTENDED ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD OR BEING CALLED A SACK AT THE FRONTAGE ROAD WASN'T IN AT THE TIME, BUT THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT WOULD BE GOING ON THE SAME TIME AS WE DELIVERED. OUR PROJECT SOMETHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FROM UTILITY STANDPOINT OR THE WATER LINES. AND SO THESE ARE 12 INCH WATER LINES THAT WOULD GO PARALLEL TO CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD AND THEN ALSO GO PARALLEL TO WHITE WAY. UH ONCE THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED, WE'RE DESIGNING THOSE TO BE OVERSIZED SO OTHER DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK OUT ON THOSE AS WELL OR BE ABLE TO TAP INTO THOSE IN THE FUTURE. AND THEN FINALLY IN THIS REALLY IS TO WRAP UP. UM IS WHAT REALLY WAS. THE CRITICAL PATH FOR US IS, UM YOU KNOW THESE DEVELOPMENTS. 100 $150 MILLION DEVELOPMENTS. YOU REALLY, REALLY DO NOT WANT SEPTIC SYSTEMS ON IT. YOU KNOW, AMAZON, OUR HOME DEPOT OR WHATEVER THEY REALLY YOU NEED TO HAVE CITY SERVICES.

AND SO I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH JUSTIN AND THE TRAINING RIVER AUTHORITY FOR A LONG TIME. NOW IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING YOU ALL ARE. CLOSE TO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR SO, MAYBE SIGNING A TRI PARTY AGREEMENT THAT WOULD ENABLE BOTH THE MAIN LINE THE RED LINES YOU SEE UP THERE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG WITH THE LINE THAT WOULD GO PARALLEL TO THE HIGHWAY AND THEN UP TOWARDS JUSTIN. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT'S NOT GOING TO LIKELY GET DELIVERED RIGHT NOW UNTIL AROUND 2026. WHICH THAT LIMITS US ON US REALLY WANTING TO GO FORWARD BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO DELIVER A BUILDING WITHOUT THAT. AND SO, UM, SO WE HOPE THAT THAT COULD BE ACCELERATED. BUT FOR US , THAT'S THE BIGGEST CRITICAL PATH AND WHY IT WOULD BE A COUPLE OF YEARS AND THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE TWO SIDES PLANS, BUT WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN. SO AND WITH THAT I'D WRAP IT UP AND I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASK ANY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYBODY HAS OR ADDRESS ANYTHING YOU NEED. SO THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS OR NOT, WHAT'S KEEPING YOU FROM STARTING THE CONSTRUCTION? IT'S THE SEWER CONCERNED, TRAFFIC. WE REALLY

[01:00:05]

WE WILL FOLLOW THE LAW TO ITS LETTER. BUT IN A PROJECT WHERE WE HAVE AN AIRPORT THAT DECIDEDLY DOES NOT WANT TO SEE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN. AH AND OTHERS IN THE AREA THAT DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN. I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THE LINE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REQUIRE YOU TO DO EVERYTHING THAT'S WITHIN WITHIN OUR RIGHTS TO HOLD YOU TO AND OF COURSE, THAT'S PART OF OUR DISCUSSION TODAY. THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO, PROBABLY FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT REQUIRE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REST OF THE COUNSELORS WILL WANT TO DO ABOUT THIS TONIGHT AND THEN TWO WEEKS, BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE. FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT, I'M AWARE A SIX LANE ROAD ABSOLUTELY DESIGNED FOR A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC.

BUT THE CHOKE POINTS ARE THE THINGS THAT WE JUST CANNOT DEAL WITH RIGHT NOW. AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT THIS IN A RACE WITH INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE WE ALWAYS GET BURNED. UM AND SO I DON'T WANT TO COMMIT TO A PROJECT THAT LEADS US DOWN A PATH WHERE WE'RE DEPENDENT ON INFRASTRUCTURE BEING DELIVERED THAT WE CAN'T GET THE SIGNAL LIGHT. TAKING TWO YEARS TO GET INSTALLED THERE.

CLOSE TO IT IS JUST TWO YEARS TO GET THE ONE UP HERE AND THEN TWO YEARS NEARLY TO GET THE ONE DOWN IN 11 71 FROM THE TIME I REQUESTED IT, IT'S JUST IT'S A TERRIBLE BURDEN ON EVERYBODY AND THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS PROJECT ANYWHERE NEAR OFF THE GROUND UNTIL THAT INFRASTRUCTURE LOOP IS COMPLETELY COMPLETED. AND SO I WANT TO SEE WHEN THIS STARTS TO GET BUILT. IF THIS GOES FORWARD AND WHITE WAYS BEING CONSTRUCTED, I WANT TO SEE THAT FRONT OF DROUGHT ALREADY IN PLACE, COUPLED WITH THE NEW BRIDGE, AND I JUST, YOU KNOW THAT'S VERY OPTIMISTIC WITH JOHN JUST GAVE US BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS ON HOW QUICKLY THESE

[01:05:03]

WHAT'S REMAINS TO BE DONE, MR CORN. AH WHAT RIGHTS DO WE HAVE TO RESPOND TO THIS? WHAT APPLICATION? WHAT STEP ARE THEY ON? JUST GIVE US THE FULL PICTURE OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS. AND WHAT IS THE ZONING UNDER THIS LAND AT THIS TIME? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? JUST GIVE ME THE FULL PICTURE FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR ALL OF US DO IT, OKAY. UM SO YOU HAVE AN ACTION ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT TO, UM TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AMENDMENT ICON. IT SHOULD BE. YES. IS IT? SORRY. SPEAK UP. UM THE ACTION ITEM TONIGHT IS TO AMEND THE CURRENT P D TO, UM UH CONSIDER APPROVING THE SITE PLAN OR THE OPTIONS THAT THEY PUT FORTH NOW, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND AS HE MENTIONED IN THE IN THE BRIEFING , THEY'VE ASKED TO TABLE THE ACTION ITEM. WE'VE NOTICED THE PUBLIC HEARING, THOUGH, SO I RECOMMEND THAT YOU AT LEAST OPEN IT AND EITHER HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN TABLE IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, OR OPEN AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND UNTIL YOU, UM UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO ACT ON IT. EITHER OF THOSE OPTIONS WORK FROM A PROCEDURE STANDPOINT FOR TONIGHT, UM, BUT THE THIS PROPERTY IS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE AS IT RELATES TO ZONING. UM THE IT'S NOT. IT'S UNUSUAL TO HAVE A ZONING.

AMENDMENT FOR APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN THAT'S USUALLY SEPARATE. BUT THIS PD INCLUDES THAT. ANY APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE YOUR PUBLIC HEARING JUST LIKE IT WOULD FOR A ZONING AMENDMENT. SO THAT IS UNIQUE STEP IN THE PROCESS, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT AND WHY IT WAS NOTICED, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD NOTICE ANY OTHER AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING, SO THEY HAVE THEIR ENTITLEMENTS AS FAR AS USES GO UM, ALREADY. THIS IS JUST THE SITE PLAN PORTION TO ADD TO THE PD THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE. UM SO AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THEY ARE ASKING FOR TWO. I THINK MR MARKS MENTIONED THAT. THEY WERE WITHDRAWING ONE OF THOSE. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR HIM, BUT UM AND ASKING THE TABLE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. SO YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN DO THAT. LIKE I SAID THAT THE ONLY DECISION POINT AT THIS, UH POINT WHEN YOU GET TO THE ACTION ITEM IS WHETHER TO OPEN AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING OR OPEN AND CLOSE IT AND THEN TABLE UH, THE ACTION UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THAT. SO HE SAID.

THEY HAVE SOME ENTITLEMENTS. ENTITLEMENTS DO THEY HAVE SPECIFICALLY AND WHERE DID THEY GET THOSE ENTITLEMENTS? THERE IS AN UNDERLYING PD THAT IS IN PLACE. UM, ON THIS. PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY. NATHAN WILL HAVE TO HELP ME ON WHEN THAT WAS ADOPTED. I DON'T RECALL. FROM 2014. SO THEY GOT THEIR ENTITLEMENTS TO DO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO DO. WHAT THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO DO TONIGHT IS TO IS TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN OR A CYCLONE OPTIONS THAT THEY ARE

[01:10:01]

YES AND AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM. BUT THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS WHAT WHAT OTHER EXCEPTION ARE THEY ASKING FOR ANOTHER ONE. NO I THINK THEY JUST ASKED TO TABLE THE ACTION.

OKAY THERE IS A CONDITION ON TO HAVE ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDINGS AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN. WE HAD PUT A THROUGH P AND Z. WE HAD PUT A CAVEAT IN THERE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THOSE AND THEY HAVE TO MATCH ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME. BUT TECHNICALLY THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO THE ELEVATIONS. SO, UM, YOU KNOW? THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DEVELOP FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, SO THEY WANTED A COUPLE OF OPTIONS ON THE BUILDING, AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE STATE OF THE ART WOULD BE FOR WHAT BUILDINGS WOULD LOOK LIKE IN TWO YEARS, SO THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. COUNCIL WANTS TO MORE DEFINITIVE. I THINK MANY OF YOU HAVE REMINDED THEY SHOWED ME THIS PICTURE. WHERE IS THAT PICTURE? AND SO WE GET THAT SO IN TALKING WITH THEM? GIVE COUNSEL ONE OPTION ON THE BUILDING AND IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT LATER. CHANGE IT LATER AND SHOW US THE ELEVATIONS. LEAD COUNSEL KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO THAT TO GET TO THAT POINT, UM IN THAT, SO THERE'S REALLY THE THEY MAY COME BACK. THEY'VE ASKED TO TABLE IT, THEY MAY COME BACK. UM OUR UNDERSTANDING AND I CAN SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES AS THEY COME BACK WITH ONE OPTION AND WILL PREPARE THE ELEVATIONS WHEN THEY COME BACK TO YOU ON THE 25TH. OKAY SO THEY'RE SATISFYING BOTH. THE OPEN ENDED. QUESTIONS. THAT FULLY SATISFIES WHAT THEY REQUIRED TO SUBMIT. AND AT THAT POINT, THEY'LL BE FULLY WITHIN THE THEIR ZONING ENTITLEMENTS. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE HAVE.

SO I SUPPOSE THE FLEXIBILITY AND THE CONTROL WE HAVE IS IN THE TIMING OF THE SEWER LINE.

EFFECTIVELY. UM, AND IF YOU COMMENTS ON THAT MAYOR, UM THE OVER SIZING IS A COST, BUT IT'S A SMALL PROPORTION BECAUSE WE ONLY PAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL DIAMETER OF THE PIPE. ALL THE MOBILIZATION OF THE TRENCHING IS ALL CONSIDERED AS PART OF THEIR INITIAL COST, SO IT IS A IT IS A BENEFIT. AND AS YOU MENTIONED, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE CAPACITY FOR THIS AREA IN THE FUTURE. THE SEWER LINE IS IN OUR C I P PROGRAM. AND IT IS, UH, IT IS THIS NECESSARY. THAT RED LINE THAT THEY SHOWED IS NECESSARY TO GET OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN, WHICH IS WHERE RAMPING UP AS QUICK AS WE CAN TO SERVE CATHERINE BRANCH, BUT THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOAL. AND NOW THAT WE'RE PARTNERING WITH JUSTIN WILL ACTUALLY UM, SAVE A LITTLE SAVE A LITTLE FUNDS ON THAT WILL PROBABLY REUSE OR REDEDICATE THOSE TWO THAT YELLOW LINE BECAUSE WILL WANT SOME CAPACITY IN THAT LINE, BUT OVERALL BY PARTNERING AND HAVING THEM CONTRIBUTE WILL STILL STAY WITHIN OUR R C I P BUDGET SO THAT THAT'S YOUR LINE. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. IT IT IS A IT IS A COST. IT IS AFFECTING OUR DEBT SERVICE. BUT IT IS AN IS AN ASSESS ITTY FOR OTHER REASONS FOR ALL OUR CATHERINE BRAND BRANCH PROJECT TO GET THAT PACKAGE THAT TEMPORARY OR INTERIM WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OFFLINE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO REACH CAPACITY AND PROBABLY A COUPLE OF YEARS ON THAT PLAN, SO WE NEED TO GET THAT RED LINE BUILT.

ALL RIGHT, SO I KNOW I HAVE TO USE A LOT OF AIR TIME HERE. SO, COUNSEL YOU JUMP IN AND HAVE YOUR SAY, DON'T USE SOME. I'LL USE SOME MORE AIR TANK. IS THE YELLOW SEWER LINE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BUILT. IS THAT SOMETHING? THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ASSISTANT CITY OR IS THAT EXTRA? IT'S A NECESSITY FOR THE CITY OF JUSTIN. UM IT'S PART OF THEIR IT'S PART OF THEIR MASTER PLAN TO OTHERWISE THEY'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE THE THEIR CURRENT SUPER PLANT THERE. JUST OFF 1 56 AND SO THAT WILL BE A PARTNERSHIP WILL, UH, RIGHT NOW. PECAN SQUARE HAS IT. ITS OWN WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. THE GOAL WAS TO TAKE THAT OFF LINE WITH THIS REGIONAL LINE WITH

[01:15:07]

ALL RIGHT. I SPOKE ALL THE POINTS THAT I WANTED TO ON THIS. I APPRECIATE THE ADVICE, ASHLEY.

UM THIS ONE IS ONE WHERE. NOT REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AS I MENTIONED, BUT WE'LL FOLLOW THE LAW AND HOW WE APPROACH THIS, BUT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THIS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S IN LINE. HAVE SOME MORE CONVERSATIONS WHEN WE WHEN WE GET TO THAT STEP ALL RIGHT. UNLESS THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO TALK ON THIS, I THINK, PUT EVERYTHING OUT. BUT I WANTED TO SAY EVERYBODY ELSE GOT YOU'RE SAYING THANK YOU FOR COMING. APPRECIATE YOUR FRANKNESS. APPRECIATE YOUR CONVERSATION TODAY AND BEING WILLING TO WORK WITH OUR OUR INTERESTS. ALL RIGHT. LET'S WATCH SOME PAINT DRY, JOHN. THE ONLY HURT THE ONES YOU LOVE.

YEAH REVIEWS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER FOR MY FINANCIAL REPORTS. AH IT'S A GOOD THING DAYS. AREN'T THAT INTERESTING? JUST START BY SAYING THAT IF I GET UP HERE AND

[2.E. Briefing - Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Investment Report (Jan - Mar 2023)]

[2.F. Briefing - Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Financial Report (Jan - Mar 2023)]

WE'RE 50% THROUGH THE YEAR RIGHT NOW. 47% OF TOTAL REVENUES HAVE BEEN BOOKED. 94% OF TOTAL PROPERTY TAXES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FOR THIS YEAR DUE TO THE AREAS AND DIDN'T COUNTY THIS WILL LIKELY NOT INCREASED MUCH MORE. WE WILL GET SOME DELINQUENT TAXES IN, BUT THIS WILL PROBABLY BE ARE TOLD TO RECEIVE PROPERTY TAXES FOR THE YEAR. 20% OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES HAVE BEEN SPENT. THIS IS LARGELY BECAUSE CAPITAL PROJECTS, UM THERE WERE BUDGET FOR THEM ALL AT ONCE, AND THEN THEY'RE SPENT OUT OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS. AND SO YOU HAVE A LARGER BUDGET AUTHORITY ON FRONT. OVERALL 40% OF THE OPERATING BUDGET HAS BEEN SPENT IN THE LARGEST PORTION OF THAT IS WHOLESALE PURCHASING FOR WATER AND SEWER, AND THAT DOESN'T REALLY HIT TILL SUMMERTIME LAST THREE MONTHS ACTUALLY IS ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF YOUR ENTIRE BUDGET AND LIKE OF YOUR TOLD UTILITY BUDGET, BUT OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENDITURES THAT ACTUALLY TAKES UP ABOUT 30% AND SO WHEN THOSE THINGS HIT, THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL START SEEING EXPENDITURES GO REALLY, REALLY QUICKLY AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME VACANCIES IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WITH PUBLIC WORKS, AND SO OVERALL WE'RE TRACKING VERY WELL ONE EXPENSES. COUNSELORS. ANY QUESTIONS? I SHOULD SUPPOSE I SHOULD CLARIFY HERE LISTENING TO YOU IS NOT WATCHING PAINT DRY. THE MATERIAL IS, BUT YOU ALWAYS COME WITH YOU DON'T BRING US PROBLEMS BRINGING US A SOLUTION. SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT. IT'S A PLEASURE TO HEAR FROM YOU, JOHN. SO I'LL CLARIFY THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAN. MOST EXCITING TOPIC. UH HUH . BUT I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'RE GAINING SOME INTEREST, BUT OBVIOUSLY, IT'S IN TERMS OF OVERALL NUMBERS. IT'S SURROUNDING HER. MHM. YES SIR.

BUT IT'S CASH. SO THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT. ALRIGHT. ONE FINANCE PERSON, THE OTHER.

[01:20:03]

[3. PUBLIC INPUT]

AM D V P OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALONG WITH SOME OF MY MEMBERS. THERE ARE HERE ALSO FROM THE H O A BOARD. UM THE REASON I'M HERE IS TO ASK FOR YOU TO SUPPORT THE L P. R S IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SIMPLY BECAUSE WE PUT OUT THE VOTE THERE, WE ASKED FOR A COMMUNITY INPUT. YES, THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT FOR IT, BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE WAS I'M SORRY. LET ME REPEAT THAT THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANTED, BUT THERE WAS A MAJORITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WANTED THE L. P. R S. MM. SOME OF THE CONCERNS WAS THE COST. WE CLARIFIED THAT WE GOT WITH THE MAYOR. WE GOT THE CHIEF CLARIFIED EVERYTHING PROVIDED THIS CLARIFICATIONS TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND THE MAIN REASON WE WANT THIS IS TO SUPPORT OUR POLICE OFFICERS. I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT THEY NEED HELP. WE ARE HERE TO HELP THEM TO SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN NOT ONLY THAT WE JUST WANT TO HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT PROVIDES SAFETY AND WE KNOW HAVING THE L. P. R S WILL DO THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THOSE ARE THE THREE CARDS I HAVE TURNED IN SO FAR. YOU JUST WAVE AT ME. IMPORTANT. HI, MARINA HARDIMAN. I LIVE IN NORTH LIKE I WANT TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF ATOMS. IF YOU DON'T MIND, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE $22 MILLION SHORTFALL. FALL ON. THE SD WONDERING IS THAT SPECIFIC TO THE ALLEGED ILLEGAL

[01:25:01]

AND THE THIRD THING IS THE IDEA OF PUBLIC WORKS AND WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

I WANT TO THANK ROGER ISAAC AND BILL FOR MOWING THE DITCHES IN NORTHLAKE, BECAUSE I THINK IT ELEVATES THE ENTIRE LOOK OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SPECIFICALLY FLORENCE ROAD FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR URBAN. AND THAT $2 MILLION SHORTFALL. I CAN RESPOND TO THAT IN BRIEF. I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DATA. SO THE. WHILE THERE WAS THEFT, THE THEFT IN LARGE PART OH, YOU'RE STILL HERE, CHIEF. SORRY. SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I APOLOGIZE. I DIDN'T SEE BACK THERE. UM THE THERE IS THEFT FROM THE FIREFIGHTERS PENSION FUND, WHICH THE COURT CASE WILL RESULT IN RESTITUTION. IF IT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS, AND THAT'S SORT OF A SEPARATE ITEM. THIS IS OPERATIONAL DEFICIT. THE BUDGETS THAT WERE PREPARED BY THE PERSON PREPARING THEM, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON INVOLVED WITH THE COURT CASE. UM DID NOT PROPERLY BUDGET AND IT DID APPEAR TO BE DELIBERATE, IN THE SENSE THAT THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE BUDGETS THAT WERE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO GET TO A BALANCED BUDGET. UH WE'RE WILDLY DIFFERENT THAN THE YEAR BEFORE. THERE WAS JUST NO EXPLANATION FOR HOW MUCH THEY WERE NOT ACCOUNTING FOR. SO IT SEEMED AS IF IT WAS BACKING INTO A BUDGET. RATHER THAN ACTUALLY PLANNING FOR WHAT EXPENDITURES WERE LIKELY TO BE. SO THIS IS A TRUE OPERATIONAL DEFICIT. AM I STATING THAT CORRECTLY. ALL RIGHT. DECEMBER FOUR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TONIGHT? JUST WAY THAT MEANS YOU CAN TURN INTO CARD LATER. YES. COME ON DOWN. MY NAME IS PAUL HERBERT AND LIVE AT 78 80 VISTA RIDGE IN NORTH LAKE, AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO SUPPORT THE LICENSE PLATE READERS FOR THE VERY REASON THAT I KNOW THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ALREADY HAVE THOSE LICENSE PLATE READERS AND, OF COURSE, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. NOT ONLY DID WE SURVEY AND THROUGH ALL THAT, BUT . WE FEEL THAT IF WE ARE NOT GRANTED THE LICENSE PLATE READERS THAT YOU KNOW. AS UNDESIRABLES TOUR OF THE CITY AND SEE THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON'T HAVE LICENSE PLATE READERS . WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA BE TARGETED IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WE'D LIKE TO AVOID THAT AND GET THOSE LICENSE PLATE READERS INSTALLED SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON DOWN. GOOD EVENING, CONNY THOMAS 77 20 VALLEY RIDGE AND I'M HERE WITH MY NEIGHBORS TO SUPPORT THE LICENSE PLATE READERS AND I AGREE WITH PAUL. NOT ONLY, UM, ARE WE WANTING TO SUPPORT OUR POLICE OFFICERS, BUT WE FEEL LIKE IT WOULD ALSO BE A DETERRENT. SO WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE HELP US. MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ITEM D IS ACCEPTING, UH, SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT FROM WEB TECH AND ITEM E IS ACCEPTING A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT FROM CONTINENTAL U. S MANAGEMENT. BOTH OF THESE ARE ON THE CATHERINE BRANCH LINE , WHICH IS IN RIGHT ABOVE TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY AND PART OF THAT RED LINE WE SAW EARLIER FURTHER WEST, SO THOSE ARE THE FIVE

[01:30:02]

[5.A. Consider a Resolution of the Town of Northlake, Texas, approving and authorizing the Town Manager to execute an contract with Flock Safety for two stationary license plate readers in North Ridge Estates, in an amount not to exceed $5700 annually]

THERE'S TWO ENTRANCES TO NORTHERN STATES WERE GLAD TO GO THROUGH THOSE SLIDES.

WUNDERKINDS UM COLEMAN WILL WILL BRING THAT TO US. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. CAPTAIN ON THAT NOTE. I THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING. BUT YOU CAN WE HAVE SEEN THIS MATERIAL SO I DO HAVE A MOTION. OKAY, WE'LL RECOGNIZE THE MOTION. MOTION MADE BY COUNCILOR SESSIONS, THE SECOND BY COUNCILOR GANZ. WE'LL GET BACK TO DISCUSSION HERE IN JUST A SECOND. ALRIGHT, CAPTAIN COLON. THANK YOU, UH, I'LL BE SWEATY. DO I NEED THE CLICKER RIGHT BELOW IF YOU WANT, OR YOU CAN CLICK TRAINED OBSERVERS. SORRY. THANK YOU, SIR. SO. LET'S GO OVER OUR COUNCIL GOALS PROTECT THE PUBLIC. PROVIDE CREATIVE POLICING WITH HIGH COMMUNITY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO ENSURE PUBLIC TRUST, MAINTAIN SAFE COMMUNITY WITH THE SUPPORT OF DILIGENT AND AWARE RESIDENTS.

THE PROGRAM STARTED NOVEMBER 2021 WHEN OPERATIONAL WITH 10 CAMERAS. THEY WERE LOCATED IN ENTRANCES OF HIGH VOLUME AREAS IN THE SOUTH OF THE TOWN LIMITS. WE HAVE OVER 300,000 REPEAT INCLUDED. LICENSE PLATE READS EVERY 30 DAYS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT EVEN ANY OF THEM THAT ARE DUPLICATED WITHIN THOSE 30 DAYS WOULD BE COUNTED IN THAT 300,000 OVER 400 HITS SINCE THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATION RECOVERY OF 13 STOLEN VEHICLES AND PLATES ASSISTED IN TWO MURDER SUSPECTS BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. GATHERED INFORMATION REGARDING MISSING PERSONS AND IDENTIFIED SUSPECTS FROM OTHER CRIMES SUCH AS BURGLARY, AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH WARRANTS. IT ALSO CAN HAS DETECTED PROTECTIVE ORDERS PERSONS THAT ARE IN THE AREAS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE. SO HOW DO WE EXPAND NEIGHBORHOOD INTERESTS FOR L P. R S THE NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS THE HIGHLANDS PRAIRIE VIEW FARMS CREEK MEADOWS. UM AND THE RIDGE HAVE ALL HAD THEIR LPR IS INSTALLED. SO NOW WE'RE DISCUSSING THE INQUIRY FOR NORTHRIDGE ESTATES, WHICH IS REQUESTED TO CAMERAS. THEY TOOK A SURVEY AND, UM, DISTRIBUTED THE SURVEY 266 HOUSEHOLDS OF THAT 166 109 RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY. 55 OF THOSE RESIDENTS WERE IN FAVOR. AND 45 WERE POST 60 HOUSEHOLDS VERSUS 49. THEY'RE THE O. A BOARD WAS ALSO IN FAVOR BY, UH A VOTE OF 4 TO 1. SO THE MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS UH, I ASKED HER TO HAVE THIS TECHNOLOGY. SO WHAT'S THE COST? THE INITIAL COST IS $2500 PER UNIT FOR EACH YEAR. IT'S LIKE ONE TIME $350 INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE COST FOR TWO CAMERAS IS $5700.

NOW THE ADDITIONAL COSTS PER UNIT IS A RELOCATION COSTS OF $250. THAT IS AN EXTRA COST, AND THAT ONLY COMES INTO PLAY. IF A CAMERA NEEDS TO BE MOVED, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE HAD THE CAMERAS INSTALLED DOWN IN THE AREA WHERE THE TWIN PEAKS NOW IS PRIOR TO THAT BUILDING BEING THERE IT WAS . IT WAS A GREAT LOCATION. ONCE THE BUILDING WAS PUT IN, IT WAS SAYING THAT IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVEWAY SO THAT CAMERA AT OUR EXPENSE NEEDED TO BE MOVED. CONVERSELY AFTER THE BUILDING WAS BUILT, THEY DECIDED TO PUT IN A SIDEWALK. WHERE THE CAMERA WAS MOVED WAS IN THEIR VIEW IN THE WAY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN $250 COST FOR THEM, SO THEY ELECTED TO PUT THE SIDEWALK AROUND IT. NOW THE REPLACEMENT THE SAME. SO THE REPLACEMENT COST YOU SEE BELOW THAT IS FOR ANY SORT OF CAMERAS THAT ARE DAMAGED FOR THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE INSTALLATION OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR. SO THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE THE CAMERAS WILL BE INSTALLED. THE RED ARROW AND LINE INDICATES IT'S GOING TO BE HILL RICH DRIVE IN FLORENCE ROAD. AND THE YELLOW INDICATOR IS CANYON RIDGE ROAD AND FM 407. CAPTAIN BEFORE YOU LEAVE THAT JUST TO PRECISELY IDENTIFY THE LOCATION. HILL RIDGE IN FLORENCE THAT TRIANGLES

[01:35:05]

SO ANY TIME THAT YOU INQUIRED AND WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE FORGOT TO PUT THAT INFORMATION IN THERE. AND TO REMIND THEM THEY WERE NO. THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE SYSTEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. BECAUSE IT IS MONITORED REGULARLY AND ANY TIME THERE'S ANY INTERACT IRREGULARITIES MYSELF AND THE CHIEF BECOME AWARE OF THAT. CAN ANY OFFICER ACCESS THEY HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM AT LEAST A SERGEANT OR NO. SOMEBODY WITH THE RANKS. YES, THERE IS. THERE ARE THERE ARE LEVELS OF ACCESS. AND THE ULTIMATE APPROVAL OF PEOPLE HAVING ACCESS COMES THROUGH THE CHIEF AND MYSELF. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING I CAN CLARIFY. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. ALRIGHT, GENTLEMEN, YOU ALREADY PUT A MOTION ON THE TABLE. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALRIGHT, AND YOUR
