SO UH, I LIKE TO HAVE THE GRADUATES THAT ARE HERE COME UP FOR A QUICK PHOTO OP WITH THE MAYOR, AND, UH, I GUESS WITH ME TOO. SO.

ALL RIGHT.

[2.C. Briefing - Denton County Emergency Services District No. 1 and No. 2 Update]

HEY, LOOK, IS THERE ANY GRANTS OR ANY OPPORTUNITIES TO KIND OF HELP US GET OF OUR OF OUR DEFICIT AND THROUGH JUST TO COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS, ALL THE COMMUNITY WE WERE ABLE TO GET THOSE TYPES OF GRANTS? UM AND WE'RE ABLE TO OVERCOME OUR DEFICIT FOR THE YEAR IN MAY, THE FORMER CHIEF DID PLEAD GUILTY, AND HE IS SCHEDULED TO BE SENT THIS MONTH. AND SO WE'RE HOPING WE DO EXPECT THERE WILL BE SOME RESTITUTION PAID BACK TO THE ORGANIZATION, UM, AND INCLUDING SOME INSURANCE, TOO. WE DO THINK WE WILL GET SOME INSURANCE OUT OF THIS AS WELL. UM, IN JULY, UM, WE THAT WAS WE KIND OF RESOLVED OUR SHORT TERM PROBLEMS WITH SOME OF THE GRANTS THAT WE GOT, BUT WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT OUR LONG TERM SOLUTIONS BECAUSE THE REALITY WAS PROVIDING MORE SERVICES THAN WE CAN AFFORD. WE WERE BUYING A FIRE BASE EMS SYSTEM GOODY MODEL WAS BASICALLY WE PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION AND AMBULANCE SERVICES AND WE WERE DOING THAT WITH EIGHT CENTS. UH UH, AT THE WAR TAXES, SO THE REALITY IS, IT'S JUST NOT ONE OF SUSTAINED

[00:10:04]

LET THEM DECIDE WHAT LEVEL SERVERS UH, THEY WANTED AND, OF COURSE, UH, THEY CAME BACK OVERWHELMINGLY 90% SAYING YES. THEY WANTED THE ESG ONE TO CONTINUE THAT, AND SO WE ESD, UH, NUMBER TWO FOR THE EMS DISTRICT AND ESC. ONE WOULD CONTINUE TO BE THE FIRE DISTRICT . SO THAT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL THING THAT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER. UM IT IN JANUARY THIS YEAR, WE HAD A VERY, UH WE GOT TO WELCOME FIVE NEW BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. UH, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT DID WANT THERE TO BE SOME CONTINUITY, SO THEY THEY DIRECTED THAT BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND THE TREASURER OF BOTH BOARDS , UH, BE THE SAME, SO THEY BASICALLY WOULD HAVE SOME CONTINUITY THERE, SO THAT'S WHAT WAS KIND OF DIRECTED. SO THEY DID DO THEIR, UM, TOOK SOME BABY STEPS IN CREATING AN ORGANIZATION. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD TO LET WHO THEIR POSITIONS ARE, BUT THEY ALSO HAD TO DO SIMPLE THINGS LIKE SELECTING THEIR BANK. THE ATTORNEY AND DO ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS TO CREATE THE ORGANIZATION. UM, THEY OBVIOUSLY SWORE IN. THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME TRAINING. I PUT THEM THROUGH A, UH, A KIND OF AN ESG 101 CLASS, MUCH LIKE THE ONE ON ONE TOWN HALL CLASS. YOU HAD IT KIND OF TALKS ABOUT HOW WE OPERATE BECAUSE SOME OF THE MEMBERS HAVE GOVERNMENTAL, UH, BACKGROUND AND SOME DON'T AND SO WE WANT TO GET THEM ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. IN TERMS OF TERMINOLOGY AND UNDERSTANDING SO THAT WE COME TO THE TO IN FUTURE WITH A POLICY DECISION. THEY HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY'RE MAKING DECISIONS ON. UM SO WHEN, UH, IN APRIL, WE LOOKED, UH, WE'RE GONNA AS WE'RE FORMING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO CREATE, UH, A CONTRACT BETWEEN ESG ONE AND ESD TWO. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT LOOKING AT THE DEBT.

WHAT THE DEBT RATE. WHO OWNS WHAT DEBTS TO? WE'RE KIND OF IN THAT BEGINNING PART OF TRYING TO FORMULATE THE BUDGET. EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THE TAX RATE IS GONNA BE WHERE YOU GET A FORM LIKE YOUR BUDGET. FIRST WE GOT A WORKSHOP COMING UP ON THAT. AND SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING BEFORE THEY CAN ESTABLISH THE BUDGET AND ALSO DETERMINE THE RATE. UM WE ARE ALSO IN THE WE AS YOU ARE AWARE, OR YOU'VE BEEN BRIEFED PREVIOUSLY THAT THERE WERE FOUR DIFFERENT AUDITS. WE DID. AN ISSUE. WE DID AN AUDIT FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS RETIREMENT. IT ALSO FOR THE 401, BUT WE ALSO DID SOME INTERNAL HOW DID THIS ALL HAPPEN? AND WHAT ARE SOME BEST PRACTICES ON HOW WE CAN KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN? WHAT WE'RE JUST NOW STARTING TO GET THOSE POLICIES AND FLOW CHARTS, EVERYTHING FROM PURCHASING PAYROLL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ALL THOSE THINGS THOSE CHECKS AND BALANCES. THOSE TYPE OF THINGS WERE KIND OF STARTING GETTING THOSE BRIEFINGS. NOW WE'LL BE IMPLEMENTING THOSE YOU GO THROUGH THE SUMMER? WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME, UH, SOME COMPLICATION. SOME COMPENSATION CLASSIFICATION STUDY BECAUSE ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM BT O HAS BEEN OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS WEREN'T RIGHT. SO THEY'RE GIVING US A REVIEW OF OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND MAKING SURE WHO'S DOING WHAT AND IS THAT PERSON? HOW WHEN ALL THOSE PROCESS FOR THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT BEING DONE CORRECTLY, SO THAT'S KIND OF BEING LOOKED AT. SO REDEFINING WHAT ROLES EACH OF OUR KEY STAFF , UH, PLAY AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE, UM UM UH, LOOKING AT OBVIOUSLY HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING. FOR OUR BUDGET, AND OBVIOUSLY, THAT WILL BE LATER THIS SUMMER AS WE GET READY TO CAN IMPLEMENT. THE OPERATIONS OF ESD TWO. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND SINCE THE ELECTION. WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH THE COUNTY. UM ON STRATEGIC PLAN. LOOK AT OUR MASTER PLAN. HOW DO WE, YOU KNOW WHAT ARE WHO ARE WE? WHAT ARE WE GONNA BE WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE IN THE FUTURE? AND SO WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THAT, SO A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON DEFINING THAT, UH, ONE. I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE 2045 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT YOU GUYS JUST, UH, THE DRAFT THAT'S OUT THERE. THAT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE IT HELPS US YOU BASICALLY PROVIDE THE RESEARCH FOR ME TO KIND OF LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS. YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND YOUR THOROUGHFARE PLANS AND ALL THAT STUFF FOR THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, 15 YEARS AND SO THAT HELPS US AS WE BUILD A MODEL FOR THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. SO WE'RE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT WITH THAT WILL CONTINUE. THAT'LL BE A LONG, UH, KIND OF MORE OF A LONG TERM PROJECT. WE HOPE TO GET THAT DONE AS PART OF THE BUDGETARY PROCESS. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL TAKE A LITTLE BREAK. I'M GONNA LET THE, UH SAM JOHNSON, PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION. HE'S JUST GOING UP JUST A QUICK SPILL. I FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE INCLUDE OUR MEMBERS. THEY'VE ENDURED THE MOST SACRIFICES. I THINK OUT OF THIS WHOLE THIS WHOLE LAST YEAR, AND SO LIKE SAM KILLER J COUNCIL MAYOR, HOW ARE YOU ALL GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN? UM SO I'LL MAKE IT SHORT. BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU HAVE A LOT TO DO TONIGHT. UM BUT WE'VE HAD A GREAT YEAR. WE DID FINALLY GET EVERYTHING RESOLVED.

THAT WAS, UH, LINGERING BEHIND US. WE ACTUALLY DID FINALLY SETTLE ALL OF THE RETIREMENT.

THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR SIGNED OFF ON THAT AS WELL. AUDITS ARE DONE. BEEN PAID BACK, AND WE'RE ALL WHOLE. SO YOU GOT A LOT OF HAPPY FIREMEN LOOKING AT NEW TRUCKS RIGHT NOW, UM SO, UH, BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. UH, SAFETY IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT OVERSEES, UH, E SDS ON THE STATE LEVEL, SO WE WERE ASKED TO PRESENT THERE I PRESENTED ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION ON THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LIKE LABOR AND MANAGEMENT AND HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND HOW THERE'S BENEFITS TO THAT WHERE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ASSIST THE DEPARTMENT. WITH SOME THINGS LIKE GRANT WRITING. WHERE UM, LAST YEAR WE APPLIED FOR A SAFER GRANT. WE WERE AWARDED THAT LATE

[00:15:02]

MUCH LIKE WHAT? UH, Y'ALL DID FOR THE 2045 COMP PLAN. BUT PART OF THAT, ALSO, THERE'S SOME STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLANNING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR BREAKDOWN OF THAT NEXT THREE OR FIVE YEARS, SO FROM AN OPERATIONAL, UH, PERSPECTIVE, UH, LAST YEAR, I CONSIDER WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INSTITUTIONAL CRISIS THIS YEAR. MY FOCUS HAS BEEN MORE ON FILLING OUR OPERATIONAL GAP, SO I'VE DEVELOPED UH, PUT TOGETHER ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.

I PICK SIX BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT ALL I CAN HANDLE, BUT, UH, THEY'RE BASICALLY MOSTLY RELATED TO CAPITAL NEEDS AND PERSONAL NEEDS AND ALSO POLICY NEEDS, WHICH REVOLVE AROUND A LOT OF THE AUDITING. I JUST TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. UM SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, STRATEGIC PLAN. WE'RE ALREADY STARTING TO WORK ON THOSE. WE HAVE KIND OF AGAIN. BEEN WORKING ON THE MATCH PLAN. UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE STAKEHOLDERS. UM MEETING I GUESS THE MAYORS AND THAT CITY. UH, TOWN MANAGERS ARE GONNA BE MEETING LATER THIS MONTH, AND WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS I CAN TELL. YOU I WAS DIRECTED AT THE LAST MEETING, UM TO PUT A, UH, A TEMPORARY OR SOME KIND OF FIRE STATION AT THE DALE EARNHARDT. UH, 35 AREA. UH THOSE PUT A FIRE ENGINE WITH THE STATION AND THEN AND THEN AN AMBULANCE IS SERVICED BY JANUARY OF 2025. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME PROGRESS. WE WORK. WE'RE CONTINUING TO MOVE AT A VERY FAST PACE. BUT THOSE ARE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING WE'RE DOING. UM YOU LOOK AS WE LOOK INTO NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW THE STRATEGIC PLAN. THERE'S THAT OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE DECIDING, YOU KNOW WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO? BUT THERE'S A LOT OF WIND DO YOU NEED TO GO WHEN DO WE DO THAT? AND THAT'S BASED ON BENCHMARKS AND TRIGGER POINTS AND THINGS WE LOOK AT AS YOU AS YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE I SEE IN EACH OF THE TOWN MANAGERS AND THE MAYORS. UH, A MONTHLY REPORT GIVES US DATA. WE LOOK AT THAT DATA. WE LOOK AT COMPARISONS. WE LOOK AT TRENDS. WE LOOK AT THINGS THAT KIND OF GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW WE'RE DOING, UH, HOW WE'RE PERFORMING, AND SO THOSE THINGS ARE OUT THERE. HELP US. GIVE US SOME TARGETS. WE'RE TRYING TO DECIDE. WHEN DO WE DO SOMETHING? YEAH WE CAN BUILD A STAGE. BUT WHEN DO YOU PULL TRIGGER? WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT AND REPORT YOU PROBABLY SEEN IT AS A COTTON. UH, CALLS IT OVERLAP. HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE CALLS THAT OVERLAP? THAT MEANS YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLE CALLS GOING ON AT ONCE. I MEAN, YOU HAVE NO UNITS

[00:20:01]

APPRECIATE YOUR ORGANIZATION APPRECIATE HOW FAR YOU'VE COME, AND IT'S GOOD TO HAVE AN UPDATE.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AGAIN I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, BECAUSE, UH, WE WOULDN'T BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITHOUT YOUR HELP. I MEAN, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, IT'S JUST IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE. AND I BELIEVE THAT AND I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. INDEED. THE BOTTOM OF HEART. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR CORN. NORTH LAKE

[2.D. Briefing - 2024 Northlake Resident Survey Results]

AND PERFORMANCE. GOING INTO THE SURVEY OF HISTORY HERE FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS OR SO. WE'VE BEEN DOING A BIANNUAL SURVEY. AND THE SURVEY WAS ALWAYS FORMED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO ADDRESS WHATEVER CURRENT NEED. WHATEVER THE CURRENT NEED WAS AT THE TIME , SO IN 2013 ASKING ABOUT RETAIL IN 2016 WORKING ON THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL TODAY. AND SO BEGINNING WITH 2024. WE ARE MOVING AWAY FROM HAVING THESE ISSUE MOTIVATED SURVEYS. AND MORE TOWARDS SURVEYS TAILORED TO THE TOWN STRATEGIC PLAN. AND SO RATHER THAN BUY ANNUAL SURVEYS, WE'RE GONNA BE HAVING ANNUAL SURVEYS. AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME, UH BENCHMARKS. SOME BENCHMARK DATA ACCUMULATING AS THE YEARS GO BY. PREVIOUS SURVEYS WERE BUILT USING SIMPLE EMAIL RESPONSES OR THROUGH SURVEY MONKEY. THIS ONE WAS BUILT USING THE PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE USED BY ON POINT TO SOME PRETTY INTERESTING RESULTS. THE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE IS WE HAD OVER 1200 RESPONSES TO THIS YEAR'S SURVEY. ALMOST 1000 OF WHICH WERE WITHIN TOWN LIMITS. THE OTHER WERE FROM E TJ WITHIN THE TOWN LARGELY HARVEST WE DID EXCLUDE THE HARVEST RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN ARGYLE IN THE ARGYLE EY DAY, SO THIS IS ONLY REFLECTING NORTH LIKE E TJ, BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT HAVING ALMOST 1000 RESPONSES FROM THE TOWN LIMITS. IN A TOWN WITH 10,000 RESIDENTS WITHIN ITS LIMITS. IS A 10% RESPONSE RATE.

AND IF WE TAKE THEM AS JUST THE ADULT POPULATION. WE CAN SAY THAT WE WERE APPROACHING A 20% RESPONSE RATE OF THE ADULT POPULATION OF THE TOWN. WHICH IS PRETTY REMARKABLE. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A COUPLE SLIDES ON SOME OVERALL RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY. OVERALL RE RESIDENTS WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE SENSE OF SAFETY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN NORTH LAKE. AND I THINK IT'S GREAT. ON THE THIRD LINE. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE WITH TOWN LEADERS. NEARLY 90% OF THE TOWN'S POPULATIONS ARE SATISFIED OR VERY HAPPY. THE OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE HAD TO INTERACT WITH THE TOWN LEADERS. GOING DOWN TO GOOD ACCESS TO THE OUTDOORS AND RECREATION. WE'LL DELVE INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. THERE WAS SOME INTEREST EXPRESSED IN TRAIL SYSTEMS AND OUTDOOR SPACES. AND VALUE OF SERVICES IN RELATION TO PROPERTY TAXES IS WHERE WE START GETTING INTO.

SOME DISSATISFACTION. OBVIOUSLY NO ONE ENJOYS PAYING TAXES. WE WILL CONTINUE TO EDUCATE OUR

[00:25:02]

DALLAS FORT WORTH. I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE 40 MUNICIPALITIES WITHIN AN HOUR'S DRIVE, AND IT'S A PRETTY STRONG STATEMENT OF SUPPORT. AND SO WITH ALL THAT STATEMENT OF SUPPORT WHEN WE GET INTO THE QUALITY OF LIFE THERE ARE A FEW POSITIVES AND A FEW, UH, NEGATIVES TO THIS SLIDE HERE. THE FOLKS ON THE POSITIVE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE TOWN. FEEL THAT THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE HERE IS GOOD OR EXCELLENT. 20% IS OK WITH WHAT THEY'VE GOT. 4% WANTS TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT. AND SO YOU SAY. THERE'S A NOTICEABLE DIP.

UH, AND THE EXCELLENT COLUMN, AND THERE'S A NOTICEABLE RISE IN THE FARE COLUMN. BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS SURVEYS IN THIS SURVEY. WHAT GIVES? WELL, THERE ARE A FEW WAYS THAT CAN BE EXPLAINED THE FIRST ONE BEING PREVIOUSLY WHEN THE EMAILS WERE SENT OUT WITH HOMEMADE SURVEYS OR WHEN WE WERE USING SURVEYMONKEY. IT WAS JUST A DIFFERENT STYLE OF PRESENTATION. AND WITH THE MORE POLISHED UH, FORM OF PRESENTATION THAT WAS USED IN THIS SURVEY. PERHAPS THAT HAD A SUBCONSCIOUS EFFECT ON THE WAY PEOPLE DECIDED TO VOTE. OR UH, IF YOU PLAY WITH THE DATA, YOU CAN TRY TO ADDRESS DEMOGRAPHICS TO SEE HOW THINGS CHANGE WHEN CERTAIN GROUPS ARE PUT IN AND TAKEN OUT. IF WE TAKE OUT THE J DWELLERS AND, UH, THE NORTH LAKE E TJ DWELLERS ARE EXCELLENT RATING DOES RISE SLIGHTLY. IF WE TAKE OUT UM MEMBERS WITH KIDS. THERE'S A THERE'S AN INFLUENCE ON WHETHER OR NOT A FAMILY HAS CHILDREN. UM FAMILIES WITHOUT CHILDREN TENDED TO RATE A SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN EXCELLENCE. UM. AND, UH, THE LENGTH OF TIME SPENT IN THE TOWN. UM A RELATIVELY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE OF THE RESPONDENTS TO THIS SURVEY HAVE BEEN IN THE TOWN MORE THAN FOUR YEARS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED TO THIS SURVEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOUR YEARS OR FEWER. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOUR YEARS OR FEWER RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE EXCELLENT GIVERS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HERE A BIT LONGER. WHO HAVE SEEN THE TOWN CHANGE, MAYBE IN A DIRECTION THAT THEY DIDN'T EXPECT. UM, SEEM TO HAVE INFLUENCED THE DIRECTION THIS IS GOING THERE ARE ALSO ARE A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT WERE VERY COMMON. COMMONLY EXPRESSED COMMON CONCERNS BY THE RESPONDENTS TO THE SURVEY. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH THIS SLIDE. THIS IS A LIST OF THE TOP 20 ISSUES AS RANKED BY THE RESPONDENTS TO THE SURVEY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. I'M ONLY GONNA FOCUS ON THE TOP FIVE. AND SO YOU CAN SEE RESPONDENTS, UH, NORTH LAKE RESIDENTS FEEL THAT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO RAISE CHILDREN. AND IT'S GOT A GOOD COST OF LIVING. WHAT IS IT THAT THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT? TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC CAME UP AGAIN AND AGAIN AND INFLUENCED, UH, RESPONDENTS, BEHAVIOR AND OTHER QUESTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT UH, ROAD MAINTENANCE, WIDENING SLASH POTHOLES SLASH MAIN STRIPING. WELL. UH THE RESPONDENTS. THE RESPONSES TO THAT QUESTION WERE FAIRLY NEGATIVE, NOT BECAUSE RESIDENTS ARE UNHAPPY WITH OUR POTHOLE FILLING OR OUR STRIPING. IN FACT, PUBLIC WORKS GOT THE HIGHEST RATING OF SATISFACTION OF INTERACTIONS OUT OF ALL OF THE TOWN. WHAT ARE THEY UNHAPPY WITH? TRAFFIC. AGAIN THAT'S A KIND OF A VICIOUS PROBLEM FOR US BECAUSE WE ALL UNDERSTAND. WE DON'T HAVE OWNERSHIP OF ALL THE ROADS OR EVEN MOST OF THE ROADS WITHIN THE TOWN. IT'S A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. EXCUSE ME, A DIFFICULT PRO PROBLEM COORDINATING BETWEEN THE TOWN THE COUNTY AND THE STATE. THE TOWN IS SPENDING MILLIONS, THE COUNTY IS SPENDING TENS OF MILLIONS, THE STATE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO GET THE ROADS IN A STATE WHERE NORFOLK RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEBEEN HAVING TO DEAL WITD WE'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH COUNCILS WITH THE RESIDENTS AND WITH CONSULTANTS SUCH AS JOHN POLLSTER WITH ITS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET AS FAR AHEAD OF THESE REAL PROBLEMS AS WE CAN. BUT IT IS A RESIDENT CONCERN. AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS INFLUENCING THEIR PERCEPTIONS. GETTING DOWN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE. WE CAN SEE SOME MODERATE DISSATISFACTION WITH QUALITY SHOPPING AND QUALITY RESTAURANTS. PEOPLE FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S NOT THEIR TOP PRIORITY. AND, YOU KNOW, WE WORK WITH OUR EDC AND

[00:30:01]

[2.E. Briefing - Proposed Master Thoroughfare Plan Amendment ]

[00:35:02]

[00:40:05]

UM BUT IT SEEMED LIKE A REASONABLE REQUEST, AND I DID AFTER TALKING TO STAFF AND GOING THROUGH THAT I DID EMAIL THE BOARD AND TOLD THEM THAT YOU KNOW, EVEN IF WE CUT THIS OFF WE CAN NEVER PREVENT A CONNECTION. PER SE. BUT IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO BE BUILT AS IT'S AN UNNECESSARY EXPENSE. THE DEVELOPER WAS NOT VERY UM HAPPY ABOUT NEEDING TO BUILD THAT ROAD. TO MEET OUR PLAN. AND THEN STAFF ALSO TOLD ME THERE THERE WAS ANOTHER AREA THEY'D BE LOOKING AT. AND THIS IS THE FIRST I'M SEEING THAT TONIGHT DOWN AT THE AIRPORT. AND WE DISCUSSED THE AIRPORT ONE SOME SOME MONTHS AGO RELATED TO SOME DEVELOPMENT ALONG 1171. SO SINCE WE'RE GOING THROUGH A AMENDMENT PROCESS. IF THAT'S STILL OF INTEREST TO THE COUNCIL, WE MIGHT AS WELL KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. JUST A QUESTION FOR YOU WHEN WE'RE IF WE'RE LOOKING AT MAKING THESE CHANGES, UM DOES IT STILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO THESE AREAS CHANGING THE ROADS? UH YES, WE BELIEVE IT WILL. ONE THING THAT WILL HAPPEN IS THIS UH, DEAD END AND, UH, CREEK MEADOWS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN WE WOULD TYPICALLY ALLOW. BUT THERE IS OPPORTUNITY IN BUT BUT IT IS A SMALL NUMBER OF LOTS BEING THE LARGER ONE ACRE LOTS. BUT UH, THERE IS OPPORTUNITY THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF CARPENTER ROAD COULD CONNECT AND PROVIDE MORE CONNECTIVITY BACK INTO THOUGHTS AND THE SECOND POINT OF ACCESS. THANK YOU. BUT BUT OTHERWISE WE FEEL LIKE THIS PROVIDES GOOD CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESS TO THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT. ANYTHING ELSE COUNCIL I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE ON THE AIRPORT. THAT'S ONE THAT WAS LEFT A HOLDOVER FROM GOING BACK ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. NOW THAT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED THAT, UM, MY COMMUNITY WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO, SO I'M GLAD WE'RE FINALLY GETTING THEM GETTING THAT DONE OR GETTING THAT PROCESS STARTED. UM I LIKE WHERE WE'RE GOING. WE DO NEED TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC. WE'LL HAVE OUR REGULAR PUBLIC INPUT IS WHAT WE'LL DO. AND TO THE MAYOR. PRO TEM POINT WE CAN, UH WE CAN COME BACK TO ITEM E TO GIVE DIRECTION TO THE STAFF AFTER NUMBER THREE PUBLIC INPUT ON OUR AGENDA. AND THEN WE'LL CARRY ON WITH CONSENT FROM THERE WITH THE REST OF OUR AGENDA. SO THAT'S WHAT WE CAN DO ANYTHING FURTHER. FOR NATHAN.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. IT IS 6:14 P.M. WE'RE

[3. PUBLIC INPUT]

IT WOULD TOUCH HAWTHORNE AS AS WAS ON THE DIAGRAM AND PRAIRIE VIEW AS WELL. AND WE JUST THINK

[00:45:01]

THANK YOU. BOARD. THANK YOU TO BRIAN FOR PRESENTING AT OUR HOA MEETING. UM, I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF VISUALS. SORRY I DON'T HAVE IT ON THE COMPUTER. I PRINTED THEM OUT. UM MY, UM, SUBJECT IS WORDING IN ON SAFETY IN OUR COMMUNITY. I LIVE ON ROBSON RANCH ROAD AND PART OF, UM UH, JUST, UH JUST AT THE CITY LIMIT. FROM ARGYLE. UM THERE IS A PICTURE OF TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.

HERE'S A PICTURE OF WHEN THE TRUCK CAME THROUGH. THOSE TWO LITTLE GIRLS BEEN WAITING ON THE SCHOOL BUS. THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. WAS DURING THE SCHOOL BUS PICKUP TIMES. UM I. I WANT TO GO IN ON SAFETY. UM THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS ALONG THIS STRETCH OF ROAD. AND NOT ASKING I. I AM ASKING FOR A STOP SIGN AT GRASSLAND. AND ROBINSON RANCH R. THERE ARE TWO CONTROL SPEED TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY SAFER. THERE ARE NO STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON ROBSON RANCH ROAD, STRADER FROM 35 TO 156. OUR COMMUNITY IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. THERE ARE STOP SIGNS THREE ON CLEVELAND GIVES BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVEN AND OLD ROAD THIS. THE ONE AT NINTH STREET IS GIVEN DUE TO THE SCHOOL. NOW STOP SIGNS AT HOMESTEAD AND SIX THEY ARE THE ONES WITH THE FLASHING RED LIGHTS AROUND THEM. WERE THOSE THERE TO CONTROL SPEED? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THEY'RE THERE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THERE IS NO CROSSWALK TO GET FROM SOUTH SIDE OF ROBSON RANCH. THERE IS NO SIDE SIDEWALK ON THAT SIDE TO GET ACROSS THE ROAD FOR OUR CHILDREN. OR ANYBODY ELSE? UM. ANOTHER HAZARD OF THAT AREA IS ALSO TRYING TO MOW OUR YARDS WITH THEM. GOING DOWN THE ROAD. AND DUE TO THE INCREASED TRAFFIC, UTILIZING ROBSON RANCH AS A PREFERRED ROUTE FROM 35 TO 156. I'M SURE THE INCREASED TRAFFIC IS MOST LIKELY DUE. TO 407 THE NUMEROUS STOPLIGHTS. IN THAT VERY SHORT DISTANCE FROM 35 TO CLEVELAND GIVES WAS THAT TO SLOW TRAFFIC OR TO INCREASE SAFETY THROUGH OUR GROWING TOWN.

LET'S REALIZE THAT ROBINSON RANCH HAS BECOME OUR TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY STRAIGHT AWAY. IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE TRYING TO PULL ON TO ROB SOME RANCH FROM FAULT ROAD ROBSON BOULEVARD BRIARWOOD IS GETTING TO BE A NIGHTMARE. THAT AREA IS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION. MAYBE IT'S BETWEEN ARGYLE DENTON AND NORTH LAKE. SO I'M NOT ASKING FOR SPEED CONTROL, BUT FOR SAFETY FOR OUR COMMUNITY. BY ADDING A STOP SIGN AND POSSIBLY A CROSSWALK AT GRASSLAND AND ROBSON RANCH ROAD. I WANT US TO BE PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. WE CAN'T STOP THE GROWTH OF OUR TOWN. BUT LET'S KEEP IT COMMUNITY FRIENDLY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND GIVING THAT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. JOEL MCGREGOR. JOEL MCGREGOR, 8921 EAST SAM LEE LANE, AND I WANT TO THANK UH ALL THE CITIZENS OF NORTH LAKE IN MY PRECINCT FOR REELECTING ME AGAIN. UM I'M GONNA HOLD MY COMMENTS ON THE TOURS FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT. THE, UH THE TRADE ZONE. THAT IS THE OTHER ACTION ITEM. A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE BORROWED MONEY FOR. TO HELP THAT AREA. PART OF THE THING

[00:50:02]

ALL RIGHT. 6:22 P.M. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC INPUT SECTION. WE DO HAVE, UH, AS WAS MENTIONED A PUBLIC HEARING ON ACTION ITEM FIVE. A BUT THE ONLY THING YOU CAN SPEAK ON AT THAT TIME IS FIVE. A ALL RIGHT. AS I SAID 622 , AND THEN WE'LL MOVE NOW TO BACK TO, UH, ITEM. E MAY MAYOR PRETEND YES, AND THAT I. I JUST WONDERED IF ANYBODY AND KIND OF WENT THROUGH PUBLIC HEARING. SO NOW WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC AND WE SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE REGARDING THIS ISSUE TONIGHT. I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE'D RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS, UH, FURTHER ON THE REMOVING IT FROM MASS TO THOROUGHFARE PLAN VERSUS YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANY OTHER OPTIONS, I DID EXPLORE ALL THE OPTIONS WITH STAFF THAT WE COULD LOOK AT, INCLUDING ASKING JUST BLUNT QUESTIONS. I THOUGHT I KNEW THE ANSWER TO BUT WAS CONFIRMING, LIKE, CAN WE PREVENT THE COUNTY FROM EVER CONNECTING TO THAT ROAD? CAN WE PREVENT SOMEBODY FROM CONNECTING TO THAT? AND THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH LEGALLY. NO PUBLIC ROAD IS A PUBLIC ROAD, BUT, UH I DO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL HAVE A GOOD RESULT WITH THIS BECAUSE, AS I SAID, BEFORE, WHO WANTS TO BUILD A ROAD AND PAY MONEY FOR A ROAD THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUILD OR NOT BE REQUIRED TO BUILD, SO I BELIEVE THAT WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, UM BY SOME THOROUGHFARE PLAYER, AND IF THAT'S WHAT COUNCIL CHOOSES TO DO, SO, UH, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP TONIGHT. I APPRECIATE MY COMMUNITY SHOWS UP IN SUPPORT OF SOMETHING. APPRECIATE THE BOARD WORKING WITH US AS WELL AND BRINGING THIS MEETINGS TOGETHER. SO WITH THAT, ME TURN BACK TO YOU FOR OK, SO YOUR ASK OF STAFF IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSAL AS WAS IDENTIFIED. UM YES, BUT I THINK NOT SURE IF WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE AIRPORT PLAN AS WELL AND GIVE THEM DIRECTION AS A WHOLE. BUT YES, MY ASK WOULD BE MY DIRECTIONS STAFF WOULD BE LET'S MOVE AHEAD WITH THAT FOR CREEK MEADOWS, AND THEN WE'LL GET THE TEMPERATURE ON THE AIRPORT PLAN FOR COUNCIL AS WELL. OK GOOD. UM, I WOULD ASK, SINCE YOU'RE ALL HERE. PLEASE DO COME BACK WHEN THE HEARINGS ARE HELD. IT IS A PROCESS, BUT DURING THAT PROCESS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET YOUR COMMENTS ON THE RECORD THAT YOU DO SUPPORT THIS. SO I APPRECIATE AT THAT TIME IF YOU'D COME BACK AND AT LEAST PUT, YOU KNOW, COME DOWN FOR 10. SECONDS.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND JUST STATE THAT YOU ARE EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THE PROPOSAL THAT HELPS US, YOU KNOW, PROVE THE CASE IF THERE IS OPPOSITION TO IT, BECAUSE FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT, CIRCULATION IS IMPORTANT, SO THIS WOULD REDUCE SOME CIRCULATION AND ACCESS POINT. BUT IF YOU PUT YOUR COMMENTS ON THE RECORD, WHICH YOU YOU KNOW WHETHER I'VE

[00:55:03]

GIBBS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE A LIFT TO TAKE THAT DETOUR. HOW FAR IS THAT FROM 1171. AND WILL THAT MAKE TRAFFIC THAT'S GONNA TAKE A LEFT BACK THE ROAD UP. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT 1000 FT.

2000. 1000 FT. WE THINK IT HAS ENOUGH STACKING PROBABLY USED TO ANSWER MCCOY. ALL RIGHT. THEN, AS PROPOSED, PLEASE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE HEARINGS ON THOSE TWO. SURE. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE

[4. CONSENT ITEMS]

[5.A. Consider an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, designating a geographic area with the Town as a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone pursuant to Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code, to be known as Reinvestment Zone Number Three, Town of Northlake, Texas]

AND UH, REIMBURSEMENT TO THE DEVELOPER, WHICH WOULD BE THE LAST OF THE PAYMENTS OF THE INITIAL $1 MILLION. THEY'RE PUTTING UP FRONT. UM THE PROPOSED, UH, TOURS. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ONE IN THE TOWN TOURS. NUMBER THREE IS ABOUT 480 ACRES, AND IT COVERS ALL THAT CHADWICK FARMS PROPERTY, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT IT ALSO ADDS IN OTHER COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS AND THAT 35 W 114 QUARTER, WHICH IS KIND OF BECOMING A SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT CORRIDOR. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALREADY SUBJECT TO EXISTING TAX INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS OR A FEW INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES IN THAT AREA THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ABATEMENTS OR PROPERTY TAX REIMBURSEMENTS. THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED. AND UH, PRIOR TO CREATING THE, UH, TERRORS YOU HAVE TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT, AND AS A REMINDER IT'S ESTIMATED TO GENERATE, UM, ABOUT $7.5

[01:00:06]

THE REASON WE'RE DOING THE INFRASTRUCTURE PORTION OF THIS IS IN RETURN FOR THE LAND BEING DONATED TO US. SO INSTEAD OF US WRITING A CHECK OUT OF THE COFFERS FOR THE 12.12, PLUS ACRES OF LAND, THIS WAS A WAY TO FINANCE THAT COST OUT OVER TIME. SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY TOURS IN THE DEVELOPER GETS THIS IS REALLY INVESTMENT IN NORTH LAKE IN ITSELF, AND WE'RE PAYING OURSELVES BACK FOR OUR OWN WORK, AND THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT THAN MOST OF THE TERRORS THAT WE SEE.

THE 16 ACRES IS THE FOOTPRINT. 16. THANK YOU, SIR. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR NATHAN BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OK, THANK YOU, NATHAN. 6:33 P.M. WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS TURNED AHEAD OF TIME YOU HAD MENTIONED FIRST ABOUT IT THAT YOU WANTED TO SPEAK. YOU WANT TO COME DOWN? JOEL MCGREGOR 8921 A FAMILY LANE. UM YOU KNOW, I'M DEAD SET AGAINST HERS IN ANY FORM TO BEGIN WITH. I DON'T. I DON'T LIKE SUBSIDIZING THINGS. WITH MY TAX MONEY, WHICH IF THE TOURS IF THERE'S EXTRA MONEY IN THE AREA. THEN OUR TAXES ARE TOO HIGH. AND I'M PAYING THE EXTRA WHY DON'T YOU KNOW WHY DON'T I GET THE 50% DISCOUNT? UM, BUT ON TOP OF ALL THAT THE WAY THIS TOURS CAME ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE VOTED FOR THE STARS THING. AND THEY WERE NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS TERROR AND PEOPLE ARE MAD. I TALKED A LOT OF VOTERS ON VOTING DAY I GREETED VOTERS OUTSIDE THE SOUTHWEST COURTHOUSE. AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. I TALKED TO ABOUT THIS WAS REALLY UPSET. THAT THEY WERE NOT GIVEN THE INFORMATION. THAT THEY NEEDED TO VOTE ON THIS THING. YOU KNOW, NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THAT COS UNTIL AFTER THE VOTE. THEY ALL FEEL DECEIVED BECAUSE THEY WERE UM YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST BAD NEWS, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW, TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE THAT BENEFIT FROM IT HERE IN THIS AREA? WELL IF YOU LOOK AT THAT MAP, AN AWFUL LOT OF THAT AREA IS JUST WAREHOUSES. THOSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE HURT BY THE STAR CENTER.

THEY DON'T BENEFIT FROM IT AT ALL. ALL IT DOES FOR THEM IS ADD TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION AND THINGS FOR THEM TO GET AROUND. YOU KNOW, UH, AN AIRPLANE PARTS WAREHOUSE AND A FORKLIFT WAREHOUSE AND THE, UH, STANLEY BLACK AND DECKER, YOU KNOW NONE. NONE OF THOSE BENEFIT FROM THE

[01:05:07]

THANKS. LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. SO YOU'RE POINTING OUT. THIS IS AN ALLOCATION OF FUTURE TAXES THAT ARE GENERATED IN THE ZONE. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ADDITIONAL TAXES. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SPENDING TAX DOLLARS THAT ARE YOURS AND MINE. THAT'S THE WHOLE PREMISE OF THE STAR CENTER. IT DOES NOT TAKE FROM OUR POCKETS TO BUILD. THAT WAS THE PROMISE. SO I'M HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING YOUR YOUR POINT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T JIVE WITH WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS ALLOCATING. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY BUDGETING DOLLARS TO BE COLLECTED IN THIS ZONE. TO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. IT'S PAYING FOR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED BY THE STAR CENTER IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE STAR CENTER AS DIRECTED BY THE VOTERS, SO WHAT PART OF THIS DOESN'T COME FROM OUR POCKETS? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS BILLED AS I'M SUBSIDIZING IT BECAUSE YES, THINK ABOUT IT. IF IT COSTS THE CITY 29.5 CENTS. PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE. AND SOMEBODY GETS A DISCOUNT ON THAT. WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS. THERE'S NO DISCOUNT HERE. THIS IS SAYING THAT DOLLARS COLLECTED IN THE FUTURE WILL BE ALLOCATED TO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S REQUIRED TO BE BUILT BY THE TOWN. THIS IS BUDGETING TAX DOLLARS IN THE FUTURE. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IF YOU CAN USE THAT MONEY IN THAT WAY. THAT'S EXTRA MONEY THAT'S BEING COLLECTED. THAT'S NOT THAT MEANS YOU DON'T NEED THE 29.5 CENTS FROM ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE.

YOU'RE CHARGING THEM TOO MUCH IF THERE'S PADDING IN THERE TO PAY FOR OTHER THINGS. THERE IS AN EXPENSE HERE RELATED TO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. ABSOLUTELY. AND JUST LIKE ON THE, UM UH, THE FREE TRADE THING. YOU KNOW A LOT OF THIS AREA. HANG ON, HANG ON. SO WE'RE IN A PUBLIC HEARING ON FIVE. A YEAH, I KNOW THIS. THIS STILL APPLIES TO THIS. IT'S THE SAME THING, THOUGH. A LOT OF THIS AREA. WE WERE PROMISED THAT THE TAXES FROM THOSE WAREHOUSES WE'RE GONNA GO TOWARDS PAYING OFF THIS MASSIVE LOAN. WE GOT TO BUILD THE WATER TOWERS. BUT NOW THE TAXES ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS INSTEAD. SO RIGHT. I AGAIN. THIS IS FIVE A THAT'S RELATED TO FREE TRADE ZONE, WHICH IS A SEPARATE ITEM AND IT'S NOT IN THIS AREA. NO, NO, NO. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M SAYING THESE TAXES ON THESE WAREHOUSES. THEY ARE IN THE AREA THAT FIVE A WERE TALKING ABOUT WERE PROMISED TO PAY FOR THE WATER TOWER DEBT. NOW. 50% OF THAT WATERTOWN DEBT. THE SOUTHERN THAT SOUTHERN QUADRANT WHEN WE BORROWED WHAT WAS THAT $12 MILLION TO BUILD THE WATER TOWERS DOWN THERE.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING FOR THAT, AND NOW IT'S GONNA BE PAYING FOR THE STAR CENTER SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WATER TOWERS GET PAID FOR BY WATER CUSTOMERS. THE IN AND GRANTED. I YOU DID A GOOD JOB ON THAT BY RAISING THE TAXES, BUT I MEAN, I I'M SORRY, RAISING THE WATER TO PAY FOR THAT. BUT IF THAT CONTINUES, THEN YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. AND THAT'S GOOD. ALL RIGHT . I DRAGGED YOU BACK UP HERE, BUT I THINK I TALKED ABOUT AS MUCH AS THE OVERAGES HERE. SO I, I HAVE TO STOP HERE AT THREE. BUT, UH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.

OTHERS. YEAH. I DO. I AM MARINA HARDIMAN. SOMEWHAT SERENDIPITOUSLY TODAY.

CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST DAN BONGINO SPOKE, UM, ON HIS SHOW ABOUT HOW GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT IN BUSINESS IS BASICALLY STEALING YOUR MONEY, MEANING THE TAXPAYER AND GIVING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE IS A CLEVER TOOL OF DEVELOPERS TO GIVE THEMSELVES SOME PERCENTAGE IN THIS CASE 50% OF THEIR PROPERTY TAXES BACK TO THEM SO THAT THEY CAN INVEST IT. HOWEVER THEY WANT IN TALKING ABOUT THIS. WE'VE GOT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WELL, WHOSE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ARE THOSE? AND WHO'S HIRING THOSE PEOPLE AND WHO'S PAYING THEIR THEIR, UM , THEIR SALARIES. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SAY IN ANY OF THAT. YOU CAN CALL A TOURS, A SUBSIDY, A REBATE AND ABATEMENT OR A REIMBURSEMENT. THE EFFECT OF IT IS THAT THE DEVELOPER GETS 50% OF THE MONEY THAT IT THAT WOULD GO INTO OUR GENERAL FUND. THIS IS GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZING AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUE AND OTHER BUSINESSES INCLUDED. INCLUDING 900 NEW APARTMENTS. IN A BLANKET

[01:10:01]

YOU'RE TAKING $16 MILLION OUT OF THE PRODUCTION, SO TO SPEAK OF PROPERTY TAXES AND ALSO LEGALLY MUNICIPALITY HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THAT PROPERTY. SO NOT ONLY ARE WE LOSING THE AMOUNT OF ACREAGE IN PROPERTY TAXES, BUT WE'RE ALSO HAVING TO MAINTAIN IT BY LAW. UM BECAUSE NORTHLAKE WON'T PAY THOSE OUR TOWN ADMINISTRATOR HAS OFTEN REFERRED TO UNDEVELOPED LAND IN NORTH LAKE AS A NET LOSS TO OUR, UM, PROPERTY TAXES, SO THE TOWN OWNING THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE A NET LOSS FOR PROPERTY TAXES. AND WE HEARD FROM NORTH LAKE STAFF TONIGHT ABOUT ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH ROADS TAKING MONEY FROM OUR GENERAL FUND, WHILE ADDING MORE PEOPLE ONLY EXACERBATES THESE ISSUES. AND IF YOU ONLY NEED 20 YEARS, THEN WHY THE 40 YEAR TERM? I KNOW THAT HE ADDRESSED THAT, BUT REALLY, ARE WE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT BEING TWICE? OFF DOUBLY OFF. I MEAN, 20 YEARS IS HALF OF 40. WE THINK WE'LL GET IT PAID FOR IN 20, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE 40.

COULD WE BE WRONG THAT BADLY. I MEAN, IF WE'RE GONNA BE WRONG THAT BADLY WE NEED TO ROOK. THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I SUGGEST. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES FOR BUSINESSES, IF THE BUSINESS ISN'T DEMANDED BY THE CITIZENS OF THE RESIDENTS, THEN, UM I DON'T THINK I ACTUALLY DON'T THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SUBSIDIZE BUSINESSES LIKE THIS. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TURN THIS DOWN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SO IN PRINCIPLE, UM YOUR STATEMENTS OR YOUR OPINION, AND I CAN'T REALLY WEIGH IN ON THE PRINCIPLES IN GENERAL. I SUPPORT WHAT YOU JUST SAID. IN THIS CASE, THE DEVELOPER GETS NO DOLLARS. THIS T IS CREATED SOLELY TO FUND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MUST BE BUILT BY THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE, SO IT'S TO PAY FOR OUR PROJECTS AND OUR PROJECTS ALONE. I IT'S NOT A QUESTION. I'M JUST MAKING A STATEMENT. I READ IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDS ARE GONNA BE PAID. COSTS THAT ARE BORNE BY THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE. OR NORTH LAKE PROJECTS. AS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NORTH LAKE MUST PAY FOR.

OK? SO IT'S FUNDING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE DON'T DIP INTO PROPERTY TAXES. BUT IT'S INFRASTRUCTURE THAT A DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. IF THEY DECIDED TO BUILD.

THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO BUILD A PARK AND TRAIL SYSTEM. I KNOW, BUT WHAT YOU'RE ALSO DOING IS YOU'RE ALSO BURDENING THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH 900 NEW APARTMENTS. I'M I'M GONNA RESPOND TO THESE, BUT WE'RE NOT HAVING DISCUSSION. OK SO I WANNA I WANNA FINISH THE RESPONSE, OK? SO I APPRECIATE IT. TAKE A SEAT. THE TERRORS IS NOT AN ABATEMENT ABATEMENT IS WHERE THE MONEY FROM A TOURS GOES BACK INTO THE DEVELOPER POCKETS. IT DOES NOT.

THIS IS A FUND BEING CREATED BY THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE FOR TOWN OF NORTH LAKE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT WE CHOOSE. SOME OF WHICH IS NOT YET DEFINED. SO THIS IS A IT'S OPEN ENDED TO 40 YEARS BECAUSE THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS IN THE AREA THAT NEED TO BE FUNDED THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT. AND IF THOSE COME ALONG , WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS A MECHANISM TO PAY FOR THEM WITHOUT TAKING FROM PROPERTY TAXES. T IS NOT THIS T IS NOT AN ABATEMENT. IT IS NOT A SUBSIDY FOR DEVELOPERS ALL THE WAY TOURS CAN BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE DEVELOPERS. THIS ONE IS NOT IT DOES NOT REDUCE PROPERTY TAXES BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING A $30 MILLION ASSET BY INVESTING 30% OF THE MONEY REQUIRED TO BUILD THE STAR CENTER WERE ACTUALLY ADDING $30 MILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENT FROM A DEVELOPER THAT'S BEING GIVEN TO NORTHLAKE.

THAT'S THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT WE'RE GETTING IS TRIPLING OUR INVESTMENTS. AND CAPITAL TERMS, SO IT'S NOT A NET LOSS. WE'RE ADDING SOMETHING THAT THAT'S DEMONSTRATED IN ITS IN THE ASSESSMENT THAT WAS DONE THE STUDY THAT WAS DONE. THIS IS A SUBSTANTIALLY GENERATING ENTITY THAT WILL DELIVER TONS OF REVENUE FOR THE TOWN. FROM A SALES TAX AND A PROPERTY TAX STANDPOINT. SO JUST RESPONDING TO YOUR STATEMENTS. THOSE ARE THE FACTS. ALL RIGHT, OTHERS TONIGHT. ALRIGHT, 6:44 P.M, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBERS. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER FOR NATHAN FURTHER QUESTIONS OR CONSIDERATION? I JUST LIKE TO

[01:15:03]

THERE WAS ONE MORE COMMENT YOU MADE ABOUT NOT BENEFITING THE OTHER. THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE WITHIN THE TOURS. IN FACT, IT DOES BECAUSE THE NUMBER ONE THING ASKED OF US BY THE APARTMENT DWELLERS BY THE WAREHOUSE OWNERS AND BY THE, UM THE FOLKS THAT ARE USING THAT AREA IS RESTAURANTS. THEY WANT MORE RESTAURANTS TO SERVE THE WORKERS AT THE WAREHOUSES. THEY WANT MORE FOR PEOPLE TRAVELING IN THE HOTELS WANT MORE RESTAURANTS. WE SAW IT IN OUR SURVEY THAT THEY WANT MORE RESTAURANTS. THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE ASK DOWN HERE. THE STAR CENTER BRINGS A TON OF RESTAURANTS WITH IT. THIS IS HOW WE DEVELOP THE CORRIDOR SO THAT EVERYBODY DOWN THERE CAN GET SOMETHING OUT OF THIS PROJECT WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. BECAUSE THIS IS AN ALLOCATION. OF THE NET. GENERATION FROM THIS POINT ON THAT'S HOW WE HONOR THE PROMISE WE MADE. OTHERS. MAYOR. THIS IS A FEW FACTUAL COMMENTS, UH, IN CORA AND SAND BACK AND DECKER ARE ARE OUT OF THIS. THEY'RE NOT PART OF THIS. UH THERE'S TWO WAREHOUSES THAT ARE, BUT THEY'RE SOME OF OUR OLDEST NE. UH, WAREHOUSE. THEY'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT 20 YEARS. THERE'S NO UH PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENTS OR AND REIMBURSEMENTS ON THOSE FARMER BROTHERS, WHICH IS NOW TREE HOUSE FOODS AND ALL THE ONE ALL THE STREAM REALTY DEVELOPMENT. THE HILLWOOD DEVELOPMENT IS OUT OF THIS. UM THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ARE THE COSTS FOR US TO MANAGE THE TOURS . THERE'S SOME AUDITING COST. UH, THERE'S SOME SOME STAFF COST . WE HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FOR OUR P FOR, UH, FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER DISTRICTS. UM THOSE ARE GENERALLY 25 TO 50,000 A YEAR. THEY'RE RELATIVELY MINOR. THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE ALWAYS COME FIRST TO ENSURE THAT ANY OF OUR COSTS OF OUR STAFF OR FOR OUR AUDITORS OR COVERED FIRST UM THIS IS AN UNUSUAL T IN THAT IT DOES HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL BASE SO ALL THAT EXISTING TAX BASE WILL BE TAXED AT THE FULL 29.5 CENTS.

IT WILL NOT BE PART OF THE T, SO THERE'S ALREADY A LARGE REVENUE STREAM COMING FROM THAT AREA THAT'S ALREADY PART OF THE BASE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO FUND TOWN SERVICES SUCH AS POLICE. AND THEN FINALLY, AS YOU SAID, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ADD. THIS IS FUTURE TAXES, PAYING FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO AGAIN, THAT BASE IS ALREADY THERE ALL THOSE SERVICES THEY ARE ALREADY COVERED SO THAT IN ESSENCE THE IT'S JUST WHAT'S AFTER THIS? WHAT'S DEVELOPED AFTER THIS? THANK YOU. COUNCIL. FURTHER THOUGHTS. OK, IT'S OPEN FOR CONSIDERATION. I'LL MAKE A

[5.A. VOTE]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ACTION ITEM B RESOLUTION OF TOWN IN NORTH LAKE, PROVIDING

[5.B. Consider a Resolution of the Town of Northlake, Texas, providing notification to U.S. Department of Commerce of support for Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designation as applied for by Alliance Corridor Inc. to include approximately 231 acres in the Foreign Trade Zone #196; and providing an effective date]

[01:20:03]

NONE OF IT HAS BEEN UTILIZED OR ACTIVATED. I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY, UH, AND THE OTHER IMPACT ON THE TOWN. IT DOES EXEMPT INVENTORY IN ANY OF THOSE FACILITIES THAT COULD COME AND BE ACTIVATED FROM FROM THE LOCAL, UH, OUR BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX. SO THIS FOREIGN TRADE ZONE NUMBER 196. IT COVERS MUCH OF THE ALLIANCE CORRIDOR. AND THEN I ALREADY INCLUDE SOME PORTIONS OF NORTH LAKE AND INCLUDES THE PETRAS TRACKS THAT ARE RECENTLY ANNEXED IN THIS IS ADDING, UH, A COUPLE OF TRACKS THAT WERE ADDED TO THOSE PETRIS TRACKS. UH BY HILLWOOD. UM ALLIANCE QUARTER INC IS THE GRANTEE THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE AND THEIR BOUNDARIES, ACTUALLY HAVE THE DIRECTOR OF, UH ALLIANCE COURT INC FOR THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE. 196 HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR HIM UM BUT THEY AS THE GRANTEE APPROACHED THE TOWN TO ADD THIS PROPERTY TO THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE. THEIR REQUEST IS FOR THIS RESOLUTION AND LETTER OF NO OBJECTION TO SUPPORT THE REQUEST OF ADDING THIS DESIGNATION. I JUST WANT TO GO TO THIS IS A MAP. ALL THESE COLORED AREAS ARE WITHIN THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE. IT INCLUDES SOME AREAS IN NORTH LAKE, UH, JUST NORTH OF THE SPEEDWAY, AND ALSO HILL WAS ALLIANCE NORTHPORT DEVELOPMENT IN BLUE ON THE EAST SIDE OF 35 IS WITHIN IT, BUT AS I SAID NONE OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED AS PART OF THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE, SO NOTHING IN THERE IS NONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES HAVE THE INVENTORY EXEMPTIONS. UH, BECAUSE OF THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE STATUS. IT'S NOT AUTOMATIC. IT HAS TO BE, UH THERE HAS TO BE A PROCESS TO GO THROUGH TO ACTIVATE IT AND THE NEED FOR IT. SO WHAT THIS COMES DOWN TO IS ADDING THESE PROPERTIES SHOWN IN PURPLE. IT'S ABOUT 231 ACRES. AND UH, LIKE I SAID THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS BASICALLY CONSENT TO THIS APPROVAL THAT THE GRANTEE CAN PROVIDE IN SUPPORT OF EXPANDING THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE BOUNDARIES TO COVER THESE PROPERTIES. ME BACK UP TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. SO TALK US TALK TO US ABOUT THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE USAGE DRIVEN SITES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ASKING FOR US TO ADD. WE BRING OUR FOREIGN TRADE ZONE EXPERT UP HERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE ADDING THIS TO THE BLUE SECTOR CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT. MAYOR COUNSEL GOOD TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT, CHAIR HOLCOMB HERE WITH HILLWOOD AND YOU'RE CORRECT BACK WHEN THIS FOREIGN TRADE ZONE WAS SET UP ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, WE WORKED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY IN WASHINGTON TO ESTABLISH A HOLISTIC MAGNET SIDE THAT, UM, AUTOMATICALLY SAW JURISDICTIONAL APPROVAL FOR THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE. AND SO THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN AND SO AS THAT HAS EXPANDED OVER THE YEARS WE'VE ADDED THE BLUE, WHICH MEANS WE'RE COMING BACK AND EXPANDING UPON THE MAGNET SITE, BUT THIS REQUIRE US TO COME TO ALL THE JURISDICTIONS AND SEEK THAT LO. NO LETTER OF NO OBJECTION APPROVAL AGAIN. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR. THAT IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR AS WELL. AND I MIGHT ADD THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED, UM RECENT SUPPORT FROM DENTON COUNTY, AS WELL AS NORTHWEST ISD FOR THE SAME SORT OF LETTER OF NO OBJECTION BECAUSE THEY ARE WITHIN THIS JURISDICTION AS WELL. OK, SO TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S THIS GOING TO BRING? IN TERMS OF ADDED VALUE TO THE SITE, BECAUSE THAT'S OF COURSE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS TO DRIVE VALUE AND SPEED TO VALUE. SO TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEAVING IT, AS IS OR ACTIVATING.

RIGHT THE FTZ RIGHT WELL SIMILAR TO HOW MR REDDING DESCRIBED THE FOREIGN TRADE ZONE PROGRAM AND HOW IT WAS CREATED BY CONGRESS. IT'S A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DRIVER, RIGHT? IT'S CREATED TO ALLOW UNITED STATES COMPANIES TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE WITH THEIR FOREIGN ADVERSARIES TO KEEP, UM,

[01:25:05]

MEMBERSHIP RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT . NO EITHER EXPORTED OR THEY'LL ENTER IT INTO THE US MARKET.T? , YOU WOULD HAVE LESS INVENTORY TAX, POTENTIALLY, BUT PROBABLY CAN YOU SAY PROBABLY MORE BUSINESS, PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX FOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT. THINGS LIKE THAT. CORRECT THOSE ARE THE TRENDS THAT WE CERTAINLY SEE WITHIN THE PROGRAM. HAVE YOU HAD ANY ENTITIES SAY NO TO THIS.

WE HAVE NOT NO OK, WE HAVE NOT. THERE ARE RARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A GROUP A COMPANY THAT

[01:30:05]

[5.B. VOTE]

IN SESSION IN LAWS. PUT IN. OK? ALL RIGHT, CATCH YOU UP. ALL RIGHT MEASURE PASSES SIX AND

[6. EXECUTIVE SESSION]

[7. RECONVENE INTO OPEN SESSION]

[01:35:05]

UNFORTUNATELY THE LEGISLATURE HAS SEEN FIT TO SIGNIFICANTLY COMPLICATE OUR ABILITY TO BOTH, UM, CONTROL DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO TO NOT BE HELD HOSTAGE WHEN IT COMES TO WATER AND SEWER, CCN.

SO WE HAVE QUITE A FEW STEPS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR OUR TOWN OVERALL RELATED TO WATER AND SEWER. CCN S THE ONE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON TONIGHT IS SPECIFIC TO A COUPLE OF PROPERTIES ACROSS 156. AND SO WE'VE COME TO TERMS WITH JUSTIN IN ORDER TO BETTER MANAGE THE SITUATION ON BOTH SIDES WITH DIFFERENT ENTITIES TO MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WATER AND SEWER CCN S AS WELL AS TO THE RESOLUTION BETWEEN US, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO ACQUIRE A COUPLE OF PROPERTIES. SOME OF WHICH ARE NOT INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF THE NORTH PART OF NORTH LAKE AND NOW HAVE THE RIGHTS TO OPT OUT OF NORTH LAKEY TJ ANYWAY. AND SO IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE AND CLEAN UP SOME LINES, WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER TWO ACTIONS TONIGHT THAT REDRAW SOME OF THOSE BORDERS. SO THAT'S THE DID I COVER THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS COUNCIL THAT YOU WANT TO COVER.

OKAY? ALRIGHT SO I HAVE A SUGGESTED MOTION TO READ HERE FOR BOTH THESE ITEMS. FOR ITEMS. SEVEN A, WHICH IS READ THIS. FOR THE RECORD. IT'S A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF NORTH LIKE, UM, AUTHORIZING TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN NORTH LAKE AND JUST AND ALLOCATING DJ AND WATER, RETAIL, WATER AND SEWER SERVICE AREAS.

AND HAD THE FULLER DESCRIPTIONS DEPICTIONS OF THE APPLICABLE TRACKS OF SUPPLEMENTS. EXHIBITS TO THE AGREEMENT WHEN COMPLETED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND RIGHT. I HAVE A SECOND TO THAT. I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF LEGALESE, BUT I GAVE YOU THE OVERVIEW. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS COUNCIL? ALRIGHT, LET'S VOTE.
