[1. CALL TO ORDER]
          [00:00:07]
          GOOD EVENING. WELCOME TO THE MARCH 13TH TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. ALL COUNCILORS ARE PRESENT EXCEPT FOR PK. WE EXPECT HIM TO BE HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. WITH THAT, WE WILL START WITH OUR INVOCATION. DREW, WHO DO WE HAVE TONIGHT? OH, HI, PEN. HOW ARE YOU? GREAT. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. 
          WONDERFUL. JUST WANT TO SHARE THE PSALM OF THE DAY BEFORE WE PRAY. THIS IS FROM PSALM 138, VERSES ONE AND TWO. I GIVE YOU THANKS, O LORD, WITH MY WHOLE HEART. BEFORE THE ANGELS I SING YOUR PRAISE. I BOW DOWN TOWARD YOUR HOLY TEMPLE AND GIVE THANKS TO YOUR NAME FOR YOUR STEADFAST LOVE AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS. FOR YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE EVERYTHING YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD. LET'S PRAY. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT YOU HAVE BLESSED US WITH. WE THANK YOU FOR ALL WHO ARE GATHERED HERE. LORD, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD BLESS OUR MAYOR, THE TOWN COUNCIL, THE TOWN STAFF, THE FIRST RESPONDERS, ALL THAT ARE PRESENT HERE IN THIS ROOM AND THOSE THAT MIGHT BE WATCHING ONLINE. WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD WATCH OVER THIS COMMUNITY AND BLESS IT. LORD, I PRAY FOR YOUR WISDOM AND STRENGTH AND DISCERNMENT TO BE UPON THOSE WHO ARE MAKING DECISIONS TONIGHT. I PRAY FOR YOUR BOLDNESS AND CONFIDENCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE SPEAKING THIS EVENING. I PRAY THAT ALL THAT IS SAID AND DONE WOULD BE PLEASING TO YOU, AND BENEFICIAL FOR THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY OF NORTH LAKE. AND PRAY THIS IN YOUR SON'S NAME, JESUS. AMEN. AMEN. THANK YOU. STAND FOR THE PLEDGE, PLEASE. 
          PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. TO REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

          [Additional Item]
MUCH. JUST AS A ANNOUNCEMENT HERE, REAL QUICK ON MY PART, I WILL BE HEADING DOWN TO AUSTIN THIS WEEK TO TALK WITH OUR REPRESENTATIVES REGARDING SOME OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF ZONING CHANGE, RULES TO ZONING, AND THINGS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. WE HAVE SPENT VERY A NUMBER OF YEARS TRYING TO PLAN OUT THE TOWN AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THINGS WHERE WE WANT THEM, WHERE WE NEED THEM, WITHOUT OFFSETTING VARIOUS HOUSING PLANS AND WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT THEIR CONTRACT WITH THE TOWN AND OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE STATE HOUSE IS SEEMS TO BE HELL BENT ON TAKING AWAY LOCAL CONTROL, WHICH IS NOT A PLATFORM THAT I'M VERY COMFORTABLE WITH. MOST DECISIONS ARE BEST MADE LOCALLY UNLESS SOMEBODY IS DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL. SO WE'RE GOING DOWN THERE TO FIGHT FOR THAT CONTROL. THERE'S BEEN UNIFYING LETTERS FROM OTHER TOWNS AROUND US CIRCULATING ONLINE SOUTH LAKE, WESTLAKE, ETCETERA. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A GOOD SESSION DOWN THERE. SECONDARILY, A LITTLE QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY. I JUST GOT A COPY OF A CONGRESSIONAL BILL THAT SHOULD BE SUBMITTED. AND I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT WE ARE FIGHTING TO GET NORTH LAKE ITS OWN DEDICATED ZIP CODE. VERY SMALL THING, BUT IT HELPS US IDENTIFY AS A TOWN. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE COUNCIL'S MISSION IS TO CREATE AN IDENTITY HERE. SO THAT WILL TAKE THE FOUR ZIP CODES AROUND US ARGYLE, JUSTIN AND OTHERS AND COMBINE THEM INTO A NEW UNIQUE ZIP CODE FOR NORTH LAKE. IF THAT DOES PASS 
          [2.A. Presentation - Recognition of Town Hall 101 Graduates]
CONGRESSIONAL. SO THANK YOU, CONGRESSMAN BRANDON GILL, FOR TAKING THAT UP FOR US. WITH THAT, I WILL GET THINGS GOING HERE. DREW, PRESENTATION. SO I ONE OF THE FUN THINGS TO DO IS TO HONOR OUR TOWN HALL 101 GRADUATES. THIS IS OUR THIRD CLASS. WE PASTOR BEN WAS WAS IN ONE OF OUR CLASSES. ALEX AARON WERE IN SOME OF OUR. YOU WERE IN THE CLASS TOO? YES. OKAY. SO EXCITING TIME. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THEM HERE. THIS WAS ONE OF MY BEST ATTENDED CLASSES. SO A GREAT GROUP. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE FIRST CLASS. WE TALKED ABOUT NORTH LAKE SEARCHING FOR AN IDENTITY AND BEING SPLIT BY ZIP CODES AND BEING SPLIT BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND STRIVING TO FOLLOW THE COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC GOAL. SO VERY EXCITING NEWS, WHICH I THINK I REMEMBER THAT YOU SAID I WAS THE VALEDICTORIAN OF OUR CLASS, I BELIEVE. YES, I THINK YOU WERE THE MOST MODEST OF THE STUDENTS. YES. SO THE PURPOSE IS TO EDUCATE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS, TO BUILD POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS, TO INCREASE COMMUNICATION, INSPIRE FUTURE GOVERNMENT LEADERS, AND 
          [00:05:05]
SOMETIMES LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS PRETTY COMPLEX AND HELP HELP THOSE INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING THAT. AND WHAT TOWN FUNCTIONS THE TOWN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. SO THE CLASSES START OUT WITH THE HISTORY OF NORTH LAKE. MOST OF THAT IS I GIVE TO SHIRLEY ROGERS. THE PREVIOUS TOWN SECRETARY WAS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT. TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE AND THE FIRST THE FIRST CLASS, ACTUALLY, WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHARTER. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE GO THROUGH OUR DEPARTMENTS AND WE KIND OF END WITH A GRAB BAG OF TOPICS. WE TALK ABOUT DISTRICTS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS. WE TALK ABOUT OUR UTILITIES. AND SO PRETTY PRETTY AS YOU CAN SEE PRETTY DIVERSE GROUP. AND WE BRING ALL OUR DIRECTORS IN AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR DEPARTMENTS AND MEET THESE LEADERS. AND SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE ATTENDEES. AND THERE'S BEEN RIGHT THERE. BUT WE'RE HERE TO HONOR THE CLASS NUMBER THREE. 
          AND SO I THINK WE HAVE WILL, BETH DALE, DARREN, HOWARD, VICKI AND PETE PETER. SO WE HAVE MUCH LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN ALL CLASS, THEY THEY SHOW UP. SO WE WANT TO THANK THEM AND HOPE THAT THEY CONTINUE TO BE AMBASSADORS FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND IF WE HAVE TIME, WE GET A MONEY SHOT WITH WITH THE CLASS HERE AND WE HAVE SOME CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION. IT'S NOT A FULL BLOWN DIPLOMA, BUT TO SHOW AND I APPRECIATE THIS CLASS AND THE QUESTIONS THEY ASK AND THE TIME THEY DEDICATED. I KNOW THIS TAKES OUT TWO NIGHTS A MONTH AND SO REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU ALL HAVE SPENT EDUCATING YOURSELF ABOUT NORTH LAKE. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ON THIS PROGRAM. IT WAS A GREAT IDEA. YOU HAD TO BRING THIS TO THE COMMUNITY. THE PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED HAS HAD EXCELLENT FEEDBACK FROM THE CLASSES THAT YOU PROVIDED AND THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE. AND IT'S GREAT WHEN PEOPLE START TO REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW THE TOWN FUNCTIONS AND WORKS. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK, HEY, WHY CAN'T YOU FIX THE INTERSTATE? WELL, BECAUSE THE INTERSTATE IS NOT US. IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS, YOU KNOW, LITTLE TINY DETAILS THAT REALLY HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THINGS. SO APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED THIS. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AND MAKING YOURSELVES AVAILABLE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE GOVERNMENT. IT HELPS ALL OF US AND IT HELPS THE REST OF OUR COMMUNITY. AS YOU GUYS GET OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS AND HELP PEOPLE OUT, BUT JUST APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT TO THAT. THANK YOU. SO LET'S DO SOME QUICK PICTURES WITH THE MAYOR. AND THEN WE'LL DO A GROUP SHOT. DOES THAT SOUND GOOD. THE PICTURES WITH THE MAYOR. IF YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY TO TAKE THE PICTURE WITH YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. PETER KRUSZEWSKI. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

          [00:10:04]

THERE WE GO. WE GOT SOME. GREAT. NOT. GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. WHAT I'M REALLY PROUD TO SEE IS HOW MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT PICTURE ARE NOW SERVING IN SOME CAPACITY IN THE TOWN OR INTERESTED IN DOING SO. AND THAT'S THAT'S REALLY COOL THING TO SEE. THANK 
          [2.B. Briefing - StarCenter Status]
YOU AGAIN, DREW FOR THAT. ALRIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE A BRIEFING ON THE STAR CENTER. YES. YES, YES. A LITTLE REPRESENTATIVE FROM LEE LEWIS. HI. YES. RICKY DONOVAN, LEE LEWIS CONSTRUCTION. 
          I'M THE PROJECT SUPERINTENDENT ON THE NORTH LAKE STAR CENTER. SO I PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE PHOTO SLIDESHOW FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE. AND THEN I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON LATELY AND WHAT OUR STATUS IS. MAJOR IN MY ADVANCING THIS DOWN ARROW FOR YOU. WE ACTUALLY MIXED THEM UP SO WE'RE OKAY. PROGRESS. AND THEN THE PICTURES. I'LL GO I'LL GO THROUGH THE UPDATE AND THEN WE'LL WALK THROUGH THE PICTURES THERE. SO CONSTRUCTION UPDATE WAS AT THE END OF THE DAY ON MONDAY. WE HAD SUBCONTRACTORS ON SITE FROM ATLANTIC UTILITIES, JDS CONCRETE, OMEGA EARTHWORKS, BRAUN INTERTEK TESTING LABORATORY AND MAXON DRILLING. 
          WE AVERAGE ROUGHLY 48 MEN PER DAY, AND WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON MOISTURE CONDITIONING THE SOIL. WE'RE WORKING ON DEEP DRILLED PIER FOUNDATIONS. WE'RE WORKING ON SITE UTILITIES, AND WE'RE WORKING ON PARKING LOT PAVING, GRADING, GETTING THAT READY FOR PAVING. THE ON SITE UTILITIES HAS BEEN STORM DRAINAGE AND WATER PIPING OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO. THE OFF SITE WATER MAIN HAS BEEN COMPLETED, AND A PORTION OF THE SANITARY SEWER THAT RUNS ALONG CHADWICK DOWN TO CLEVELAND GIBBS, THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THAT'S IN LIMBO RIGHT NOW DUE TO AN ELEVATION CONFLICT WITH A GAS LINE THAT RUNS ALONG THE ROAD. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT WORKED OUT SO WE CAN CONTINUE ON WITH THAT ISSUE. SO IF YOU SEE SOME STAGNANT AREAS OVER THERE, THAT'S BECAUSE OF THAT. THE DRILLED PIER FOUNDATION IS UNDERWAY. AS OF MONDAY, WE HAD COMPLETED 100 PIERS OF ABOUT 300. TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE AT ABOUT 127 AT THE END OF THE DAY. 
          SO THAT'S MOVING ON. AND WE'VE POURED ABOUT 1780 YARDS OF CONCRETE. AND THOSE DEEP FOUNDATION PIERS. UP NEXT WE'LL START THE CONCRETE PAVING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SITE. WE'LL DO GROUND GRADE BEAM FOUNDATIONS AND PIER CAPS. THEN WE'VE STARTED THE UNDERGROUND PLUMBING FOR THE GYMNASIUM. AND WE'LL ALSO BEGIN INSTALLING SITE LIGHTING CONDUITS AND IRRIGATION SLEEVES FOR THE ISLANDS. OUR CURRENT WORKING SCHEDULE SHOWS US, WITH A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF 625, BUT WE'RE WORKING HARD TO PULL THAT BACK TO AT LEAST MARCH 6TH 26. I HAVE SIX TWO ON MINE. THE YEAR 20, 26, 25, 26. I'M SORRY. YEAH, THAT DOES MAKE MORE SENSE, DOESN'T IT? SO ANYWAY, THERE'S BEEN 35 CLAIMED RAIN DAYS. WEATHER DAYS. WE'VE HAD A LOT MORE THAN THAT. BUT THOSE ARE THE ALLOWED DAYS THAT WE CAN CLAIM. SO THIS IS A DRONE SHOT THAT WAS TAKEN ON MONDAY IN THE FOREGROUND TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE. AT THE BOTTOM YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY'RE PROCESSING THE SELECT FIELD, WHICH WOULD BE THE WESTERN GYMNASIUM. I'M SORRY, THE EASTERN GYM. THERE WE GO. THAT'S COOL. IT'S THE SAME SCREEN THERE. OKAY. DOWN ON THIS LITTLE AREA RIGHT HERE, WE HAVE A ONE OF THE EXCAVATIONS. THAT'S THE TEN FOOT DEEP MOISTURE CONDITIONING. SO THEY'LL EXCAVATE ALL THAT SOIL OUT AND THEN START PROCESSING, PUTTING IT BACK EIGHT INCHES AT A TIME, GETTING THE MOISTURE CORRECT AND THEN GETTING THOSE DENSITIES TESTED. SO THE ENTIRE BUILDING FOOTPRINT HAS BEEN DUG OUT TO THAT TEN FOOT AND THEN PUT BACK. 
          AND THEN IT GETS CAPPED WITH IT'S ONE FOOT OF SELECT FILL ON TOP OF IT. THE AREAS HERE THAT IS THE ONE OF THE GYMNASIUMS. THOSE PIERS HAVE BEEN DRILLED THROUGH THAT AREA RIGHT THERE AND OVER HERE TO THE RIGHT. THIS IS A HOCKEY AREA. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE DEPRESSION OF THE FIRST RINK RIGHT THERE. THAT'S TWO DRILLING RIGS AND A CRANE THAT THEY'RE USING. AND EACH OF THOSE PIERS, THEY'RE HAVING TO CASE THOSE BECAUSE THERE'S GROUNDWATER SEEPING INTO THOSE. 
          SO THEY'LL DRILL THAT PIER DOWN, THEY'LL SET A CASING, THEN THEY'LL GO BACK AND SEAL IT AT THE BOTTOM, AND THEY'LL PUT A DRILL BIT INSIDE AND CONTINUE DRILLING THROUGH THAT SO THEY CAN KEEP THE WATER OUT. THEN WHEN THEY PUT THE REINFORCING STEEL IN THERE, THEN THEY PULL THE CASING OUT WITH THE CONCRETE AND KEEPS EVERYTHING NICE AND NEAT. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A VIEW 
          [00:15:05]
FROM KIND OF THE LOOKING NORTHWEST OFF OF CHADWICK. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STOCKPILED SOILS HERE. THIS IS THE CREEK THAT RUNS DOWN TO THE BACK SIDE TO THE LITTLE LAKE. AND THEN OVER HERE IS THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. YOU CAN SEE THE PAVING AREA THAT WE'RE WORKING ON ON THE WESTERN SIDE RIGHT THERE. GETTING THAT READY. WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A SECTION OF THAT POURED NEXT WEEK. THIS WHOLE AREA WAS THE BOTTOM OF THE AREA BEHIND THE WATER TOWER. THAT WAS THE DELETED PARKING AREA. THAT'S NOW JUST GOING TO BE EXTRA PARKING IF NEEDED. GO ALL THE WAY. A VIEW FROM NEAR 114 LOOKING SOUTHEAST, YOU CAN KIND OF GET A GOOD VIEW OF THE SITE. 
          I THINK THE SITE'S LIKE 18 ACRES OVERALL. WE'VE GOT ACTIVITY ALL OVER THE PLACE. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE UTILITY MATERIAL STORED THROUGH HERE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN INSTALLING THOSE. LIKE WE SAID, A LOT OF THE AREAS WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOME OF THESE PILES OF DIRT GET TRANSPORTED OUT OF THERE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT. THAT SAME THING, THIS IS ALL OF OUR MATERIAL DOWN FRONT. 
          THIS IS ALL STORM DRAINAGE PIPING. THAT'S ABOUT IT. AND ONE FUN NOTE WHEN WE WERE TAKING THOSE PICTURES, OSHA SHOWED UP OUT THERE ON A DRIVE BY AND THEY DID A CRANE INSPECTION FOR US, AND WE PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. SO THAT WAS GOOD. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES CLOSELY, THERE'S NOT MUCH GOING ON BECAUSE WE WERE ALL UP AT THE TRAILER HAVING A LITTLE POWWOW. 
          SO ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE THE UPDATES. 
          IN TANDEM WITH THIS. MET WITH THE STARS THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE WORKING ON MARKETING PLAN TO MAKE SURE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OPENING A LITTLE LATER THAN WE ALL EXPECTED, TO GET PEOPLE EXCITED FOR IT AND BASICALLY READY TO STRAP ON SKATES, GET VOLLEYBALLS BASKETBALLS READY TO GO AS SOON AS THIS DOOR IS OPEN. WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE A. WE BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A DEAL FOR A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT IN THERE. WELL, HOW WAS IT CLASSIFIED? MID. UPPER? YEAH, I THINK THEY USE DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY THAN THAN I'M AWARE OF. BUT YEAH IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE HIGH END BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO BE PRICEY SPORTS BAR. IT'S GOING TO BE BETWEEN A SPORTS BAR AND A NICE RESTAURANT IF ANYBODY WANTS TO CHECK IT OUT. THE CONCEPT IS CALLED SHARK CLUB, AND THERE'S ONE IN PLANO AND ONE IN LAS COLINAS. POSSIBLY THAT'S A DIFFERENT BRAND. MOST OF THEM ARE IN CANADA, YES, BUT THERE IS ONE IN PLANO, I BELIEVE. SO ANYWAYS, THAT'S ALL GOOD POSITIVE PROGRESS BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE THAT LOCKED IN THAT WILL HELP WESTERN SECURITY SECURE TENANTS FOR THE OTHER RETAIL SITES. AND IT'S JUST A LOT, OF LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE HERE. SO VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THOSE UPDATES AND WORKING WITH THE STARS ON THAT PROJECT. THANK YOU RICKY FOR THE UPDATES THERE. HOPEFULLY THE MUD WILL NOT CONTINUE TO PERSIST AND DRIVE YOU GUYS CRAZY. SO APPRECIATE THE UPDATE. 
          [3. PUBLIC INPUT]
ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE WILL OPEN UP PUBLIC INPUT. IT IS 648 AND I HAVE ONE CARD. MR. MCGREGOR. SURPRISE. JOEL MCGREGOR 8921 EAST FAMILY LANE. I HAD SOME COMMENTS FROM LAST TIME BECAUSE I GOT UP HERE AND TALKED ABOUT THE TOURS AND THE DEBT AND ALL THAT STUFF, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THAT, A SMALL PORTION OF THAT DEBT WAS BACKED BY THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX, SO THE TAXPAYERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY THAT. BUT THE REST OF IT WAS BACKED BY PROPERTY TAXES. 
          AND I KNOW THE PLAN IS TO NOT HAVE PROPERTY TAXES PAY IT, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S BACKING IT. SO IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL, WE THE PROPERTY TAXPAYERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. AND ON THE ON THE TOURS, YOU KNOW, A COMMENT WAS MADE SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF PART OF NOTHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. WELL, THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE WAY THAT WORKS. YOU KNOW, WE HAD WHEN THAT COMES IN, WHEN A NEW AREA COMES INTO THE CITY, WE HAVE TO PROVIDE CITY SERVICES FOR IT. AND WE'RE TOLD THOSE CITY SERVICES COST 29.5 CENTS PER 100,000 VALUE. SO THEY EITHER COST THAT OR THEY DON'T. 
          YOU KNOW, IF YOU CAN GIVE A BIG DISCOUNT BECAUSE THEY'RE COMING IN, EITHER IT DOESN'T COST 29.5 CENTS, IT COSTS WHATEVER MINUS THE DISCOUNT YOU COME UP WITH, OR EVERYBODY ELSE IS SUBSIDIZING IT ONE OR THE OTHER. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T REALLY HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. SO. I THINK PLEASE 
          [00:20:04]
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THAT WHEN YOU'RE HANDING OUT TOURS FOR PEOPLE, BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE SUBSIDIZING OTHER PEOPLE'S PROJECTS. YOU KNOW, IF IT COSTS US $0.20 AND WE CAN GIVE AWAY NINE AND A HALF FOR SOME PROJECT, I WANT MY TAXES TO BE $0.20, NOT 29.5. SO I THINK WE IF WE DIDN'T DO ALL THESE TOURS, WE COULD LOWER OUR PROPERTY TAX. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK THIS EVENING? WELL, THE ROOM REALLY CLEARED OUT. JOEL, WHAT'D YOU DO? I DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING. ALL RIGHT. WITH HEARING NONE, WE 
          [4. CONSENT ITEMS]
WILL MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT ITEMS TODAY. WE HAVE THREE ITEMS ON CONSENT MINUTES. CANCELLATION OF THE NEXT MEETING FOR MARCH 27TH, AND A CONTRACT FOR THE FORT WORTH 24 INCH WATER MAIN. 
          ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I WILL TAKE MOTIONS TO PULL OR ANY PULL REQUESTS OR MOTIONS. I'D LIKE OUR MOTION TO PULL ITEM C JUST TO. EVEN THOUGH WE'VE DISCUSSED IT BEFORE. TO REITERATE WHAT IT IS SO THAT WHEN WE WHEN WE ADDRESS IT, PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT. OKAY. REMOVING ITEM C, DO I HAVE A MOTION ON A AND B MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND. MOTION BY COUNCILOR SESSIONS SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM LORENZ. 
          TO SET YOUR SCREEN RECORDING. THE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO UNANIMOUS. ALL RIGHT, ITEM C, I 
          [4.C. Consider approval of a Resolution of the Town of Northlake, Texas, awarding Bid No. 25-01 and authorizing the Town Manager to execute an agreement/contract with Conatser Construction, L.P. for construction of Fort Worth Additional Capacity 24" Water Main Phase 1a, in an amount not to exceed $2,377,088]
GUESS WE'D LIKE TO. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS? YES. JUST BECAUSE ANYTIME WE'RE GOING TO SAY YES TO THE MONEY, EVEN IF WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, I WANT TO REITERATE OR HAVE THE STAFF REITERATE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. BECAUSE IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME CLUEING IN OR SEEING WHAT WE'RE DOING, I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM, WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO PHASE ONE A IS THE FIRST PART OF PHASE ONE. PHASE ONE WAS TO TAKE US FROM A 42 INCH WATER LINE, BASICALLY AT INTERNATIONAL PARKWAY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AT ALLIANCE, UP TO 156. BUT THERE WAS DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THAT. SO TO GET THAT LINE IN THERE BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT OCCURRED, WE KIND OF FAST FORWARDED THIS PROJECT WENT REALLY FAST BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FORT WORTH CITY OF FORT WORTH REVIEW PROCEDURE. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF DELIVERING THIS. THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE WAS 2.2 MILLION. SO A LITTLE HIGHER THAN WE WOULD HAVE LIKED. IT IS WITHIN BUDGET. WE DO HAVE CONTINGENCIES. I THINK THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR PHASE ONE IS OVER 8 MILLION. SO WE DO HAVE PLENTY OF CAPACITY AND WE STILL NEED TO DO THAT. THAT PHASE ONE B AND YOU'LL BE SEEING AN AWARD ON THAT COMING PRETTY SOON. AND THEN I'LL BE GLAD TO REPEAT WHAT I SAID. ALEX. GOOD. ALL RIGHT I 
          [4.C. VOTE]
MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM C ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. I'LL SECOND IT. I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS HOLMES AND SECOND BY MR. KELLY. THAT MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUS SEVEN ZERO. ALL RIGHT. FIRST 
          [5.A. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, providing for the issuance of Town of Northlake, Texas, Combination Tax and Limited Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2025 in the estimated principal amount of $14,910,000; levying a tax in payment thereof; prescribing the form of said certificates and awarding the sale thereof; authorizing the execution and delivery of a paying agent/registrar agreement; approving the official statement; and enacting provisions incident and relating to the subject and purposes of this ordinance]
ACTION ITEM OF THIS EVENING IS THE ISSUANCE OF. YEAH. ISSUANCE OF THE REVENUE OBLIGATION. SORRY FOR 14.9 MIL. DREW. YES JOHN THOMPSON WILL. AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR CONSULTANTS HERE. SO JOHN WELCOME. SORRY I WAS HIDING BACK IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM. SO OKAY. SO THIS IS JUST THE C CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION ISSUANCE. WE DID THE GEO AND THE HOTEL REVENUE BOND A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. BUT WITH THIS ONE 16.1 MILLION WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR PROJECT FUNDING AS PART OF THE BUDGET BACK IN ON SEPTEMBER 12TH FOR THE 25 BUDGET. AND ON JANUARY 9TH, WE BRIEFED COUNCIL AGAIN, JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE UPCOMING PROJECTS WERE, WHAT THAT DEBT ISSUANCE WOULD LOOK LIKE, AND THIS ON THE THIRD, ON THE 13TH, WE'RE CONSIDERING 
          [00:25:08]
GOING AHEAD AND APPROVING 15.455 MILLION IN PRINCIPAL AMOUNT FOR THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. 
          YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT 16.1 AND THAT 15.455. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT THIS IS JUST A LIST OF THE PROJECTS THAT THAT OBLIGATION, THAT CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION IS GOING TO BE COVERING. YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF WATER, SEWER AND ROAD PROJECTS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO TOTAL 16.1 MILLION. ONCE ALL IS SAID AND DONE. AS FAR AS THE ISSUANCE DETAIL DETAILS GO, BOND PRICING OCCURRED TODAY. COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING PASSING THAT ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF THOSE BONDS. AND THEN WE'RE EXPECTING TO GET THOSE FUNDS ON APRIL 10TH. NOW, THE TOTAL ISSUANCE IS THAT 15.455 MILLION. AND IT'S GOING TO BE COVERED BY PROPERTY TAX, PROPERTY TAX FROM TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONES AND ALSO UTILITY REVENUES. AND THEN WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THE PREMIUM IS GOING TO COVER THE COST OF ISSUANCE, AS WELL AS MAKING UP THAT GAP BETWEEN THE 15.455 THAT YOU SEE IN THE 16.1 MILLION NEEDED. SO THE PREMIUM WILL COVER THE REMAINING AMOUNT THAT WE NEED TO REACH THAT 16.1 MILLION FOR THE PROJECT FUNDING. AND WITH THAT PLUS, PLUS ALL OUR CLOSING COSTS, PLUS ALL OUR CLOSING COSTS. SO BUT WITH THAT, OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS ARE HERE AND ALSO OUR BOND COUNCIL, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM OR FOR ME, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE AT THIS TIME. I'LL THE PRICING COME OUT GOOD. MARTIN, DO YOU WANT TO DISCUSS. SHE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THAT THAN I DO. SO I'M GOING TO PASS OUT. JUST SOME PRICING BOOKS SO YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION. OKAY. SO THE. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE OVERKILL THAT I JUST HAD. DREW DO I'M NOT GOING TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL OVER HERE. I'M JUST EXPLAINING. SO I KNOW BEFORE I EVER PAID MUCH ATTENTION, IF IT WAS GOING TO BE MY FIRST COUNCIL MEETING TO WATCH TODAY AS A NEIGHBOR THAT PAYS TAXES, THAT I WOULD SEE THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA AND SEE A DOLLAR AMOUNT AND GO, OH MY GOSH, THEY'RE ABOUT TO JUST SKIP OVER THAT. THAT THE THING THAT HE JUST WENT OVER WHERE THIS IS PART OF OUR BUDGET THAT WE ALREADY APPROVED, THAT THE TOWN STAFF AND COUNCIL WENT BACK AND FORTH OVER, AND THAT THIS IS ONE STEP IN A NUMBER OF STEPS. AND THIS IS A FINAL PHASE. SO THIS ISN'T A NEW THING THAT JOHN CAME UP WITH THIS MORNING THAT WE'RE APPROVING FROM SCRATCH. THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN WORKED ON FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. AND I JUST FELT LIKE CLARIFYING THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO, LIKE ME, DIDN'T KNOW THAT BEFORE. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARTY HSU WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES. WE REPRESENT THE TOWN AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR. IT NOT ONLY DOES IT TAKE A WHILE IN TERMS OF YOUR PLANNING AND PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS, BUT JUST TO GET A BOND ISSUANCE TO MARKET. IT TAKES ABOUT 90 DAYS FROM START TO FINISH TO PREPARE AN OFFERING DOCUMENT TO GO THROUGH THE RATING PROCESS. SO JUST TO ECHO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, YES, IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOKE UP TODAY AND SAID, WE'RE GOING TO SELL $16 MILLION WORTH OF BONDS, BUT WE DID SELL $16 MILLION WORTH OF BONDS TODAY. YOUR CDS WERE SOLD THROUGH A COMPETITIVE SALE, AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY WERE PUT OUT ON THE OPEN MARKET, AND ANY AND ALL UNDERWRITERS WERE INVITED TO SUBMIT A BID FOR THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE AND SELL YOUR BONDS TO THE PUBLIC. BEHIND TAB A, WE HAVE THE BID RESULTS FOR YOU. YOU RECEIVED TWO BIDS AND YOUR WINNING PROPOSAL WITH THE LOWEST PROPOSED TRUE INTEREST COST CAME IN FROM FIDELITY CAPITAL MARKETS, WITH THE PROPOSED TRUE INTEREST COST OF 4.19%, WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN MORE BIDS. NORMALLY WE LIKE TO SEE A MINIMUM OF THREE, BUT THAT IS NOT A REFLECTION OF YOU. THAT IS A REFLECTION OF THE MARKET RIGHT NOW. IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE HEADLINES, YOU KNOW IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY TUMULTUOUS WEEK FOR THE MARKETS ALL AROUND. WE'VE SEEN YIELDS GO UP. AND SO IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT SOME PARTICIPANTS WHO WOULD HAVE NORMALLY OTHERWISE PROBABLY BID ON YOUR BONDS ARE CHOOSING TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES. THAT BEING SAID, IT ONLY TAKES ONE BUYER TO GET THE TRANSACTION DONE, AND WE CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU ARE GETTING THE BEST POSSIBLE RATE WHEN YOU DO ACCESS THE MARKET BECAUSE OF THE UNDERLYING CREDIT STRENGTH OF THE TOWN. SO AS I MENTIONED, AS PART OF THE NORMAL BOND ISSUANCE PROCESS, YOU DO HAVE TO APPLY FOR AND PURCHASE A BOND RATING. CITY AND TOWN STAFF HAS TO SIT DOWN WITH THE TWO RATING AGENCIES, IN THIS CASE, BOTH S&P GLOBAL AND FITCH RATINGS. THEY HAVE TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS, PROVIDE A LOT OF INFORMATION SO THAT THEY CAN CONDUCT A FULL CREDIT ASSESSMENT ON THE TOWN, AND THEY DO RELEASE A REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH THAT, WHICH WE'VE INCLUDED THE FULL FOR YOUR REVIEW. AND BOTH FIRMS DID 
          [00:30:01]
AFFIRM THE AA CREDIT RATING OF THE TOWN. AND I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, AND I WAS JUST HERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO SAYING THIS. SO YOU'LL IN BROKEN RECORD TIME, BUT YOU SHOULD FEEL VERY PROUD. 
          IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT WHERE YOU ARE AT WITH YOUR RATING, BECAUSE YOU ARE ONLY TWO NOTCHES AWAY FROM A PERFECT SCORE. THAT'S SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THE CREDIT RATING IS JUST LIKE YOU OR I, OUR OWN PERSONAL CREDIT RATING. THE HIGHER YOUR CREDIT RATING, THE LOWER THE COST OF BORROWING. 
          WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A LOAN FOR A CAR OR A MORTGAGE, SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR THE TOWN. SO WHEN YOU GO TO SELL BONDS, THE HIGHER YOUR CREDIT RATING, YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU'RE GETTING THE BEST POSSIBLE RATE THAT YOU CAN FOR THAT DAY IN THE MARKET. SO AGAIN, I DO RECOMMEND YOU READ THOSE REPORTS. THEY'RE THE SAME ONES THAT YOU HAD TWO WEEKS AGO, THOUGH THAT RATING PROCESS DID COVER ALL THREE OF YOUR ISSUES. THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY CHANGES THERE, BUT THEY DO FOCUS IN ON THE STRENGTH OF THE FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY OF THE CITY AND THE MANAGEMENT. SO ALL IN ALL, WE THINK VERY POSITIVE RESULTS. AND ALSO BEHIND THE BID RESULTS, WE HAVE INCLUDED A FULL SET OF THE NUMBERS FOR YOU. SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT INTEREST RATE TRANSLATES TO IN DOLLARS OVER THE LIFE OF THE ISSUE. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. THREE HUNDREDTHS OF A POINT. YEAH, WE'RE GETTING THERE. WE'RE GETTING THERE. VERY GOOD QUESTIONS. WELL JUST AND THIS IS MORE FOR THE CITIZENS BUT ALSO FOR ME AS WELL. BUT JUST IN COMPARISON TO IN YOUR EXPERIENCE IN TOWNS OF THE SIZE OF NORTH LAKE, FOR INSTANCE, HOW DOES THIS COMPARE? TYPICALLY, I KNOW THE MARKET IS CRAZY DEALING IN THAT, BUT LIKE GENERALLY SPEAKING, IS THIS A IS THIS GOOD? YES, YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE RANGE OF RATES THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SO WE'VE SEEN LOTS OF FLUCTUATION. BUT JUST TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF REFERENCE WHERE YOU WERE ON YOUR RATES A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. KEEP IN MIND IT'S NOT AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON BECAUSE THAT WAS TAXABLE DEBT. AND IT WAS ALSO YOUR GEO BONDS WERE 30 YEARS. THIS IS 20 YEARS BEING AMORTIZED OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD. 
          SO IT'S GOT A LOWER RATE. BUT IF YOU'LL RECALL YOUR HOT BONDS WERE AT A 581. YOUR GEO BONDS WERE AT A 546. SO 420 IS RIGHT IN LINE WITH TAX EXEMPT RATES THAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE FOR A 20 YEAR AMORTIZATION. WE'VE SEEN FLUCTUATIONS DOWNWARD, PROBABLY, I WOULD SAY THE LOWER RANGE FOR SIMILARLY CREDIT RATED ENTITIES WOULD BE LIKE A 370, MOST RECENTLY UP TO, YOU KNOW, THE FOUR EVEN FOUR 3440 RANGE FOR TAX EXEMPT DEBT. GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU. MARTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU COMING TONIGHT. SURE. THANK YOU. PLEASURE TO BE HERE. ALL RIGHT. 
          FIRST WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TO HOLD. SO IT IS 6:03 P.M. CALLING. NOT THAT'S AN EXCELLENT. OH, MAN. I SKIPPED AHEAD. LOOK AT THAT. SO THERE'S SOME SPECIAL LANGUAGE. IF YOU ADVANCE THE SLIDE. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT I WILL TAKE MOTIONS. IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE A MOTION 
          [5.A. VOTE]
YOU USE THIS LANGUAGE THAT'S ON THE SCREEN. NOW I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF TOWN OF NORTH LAKE COMBINATION TAX AND LIMITED SURPLUS REVENUE. CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION SERIES 2025, AND THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF 15,455,000 AS PRESENTED. I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT. MOTION FOR MR. FOWLER AND SECOND, FOR MR. KELLY. THANK YOU. 
          FIRE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY SEVEN ZERO. MOVING ON. ON THE NEXT 
          [5.B. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, designating a certain area as a reinvestment zone for commercial/industrial tax abatement in the Town of Northlake, to be known as Reinvestment Zone No. 05, Town of Northlake, Texas; establishing the boundaries thereof; providing a savings clause; and providing an effective date]
ITEM, WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, I PROMISE. I KNOW EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE CREATION OF A TERM FOR THE NORTH LAKE BUSINESS PARK ON 407. THIS IS ONE THAT WE'VE HAD BRIEFING ON LAST WEEK, AND WE DISCUSSED I SEE NATHAN'S UP HERE, SO I WON'T STEAL HIS THUNDER. SIR, THIS IS NOT A NOT EXACTLY A TERSE THIS IS A IS A REINVESTMENT ZONE STILL A REINVESTMENT ZONE I KNOW, BUT IT'S NOT A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE FOR OUR AUDIENCE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS. SO THE DFW NORTH LAKE BUSINESS PARK OWNS A 68 ACRES WEST OF HERE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 407. THEY PROPOSE A 
          [00:35:03]
COMMERCIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED FOR IT A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND INCLUDED SEVERAL PROVISIONS, INCLUDING ANNEXATION, WHICH HAS SINCE OCCURRED, AND A PROVISION TO ALLOW FOR A TAX ABATEMENT, AND FOR A PERIOD OF INITIAL PERIOD OF SIX YEARS WITH A SLIDING SCALE. SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT NUMEROUS MEETINGS RECENTLY. THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF STEPS THAT HAD TO BE TAKEN. ONE WAS UPDATING OUR INCENTIVES POLICY, WHICH WAS DONE BACK ON FEBRUARY 13TH, THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, YOU APPROVED A NOTICE OF INTENT TO CREATE THIS REINVESTMENT ZONE AND SCHEDULED A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD TONIGHT. AND NOTICE THAT PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROVIDED PER STATE LAW. AND SO THIS NEXT STEP IS CREATING THE REINVESTMENT ZONE. SO YOU HAVE AN ORDINANCE TONIGHT TO CREATE THE REINVESTMENT ZONE. AND THAT JUST ALLOWS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE TAX ABATEMENTS WITHIN THAT ZONE. AND BEFORE ACTING ON THE ORDINANCE TO CREATE THE REINVESTMENT ZONE, YOU'LL NEED TO HOLD THAT PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. NATHAN, ALL THIS TALK OF ATTORNEYS HAD ME OFF BASE TONIGHT. THANKS, JOEL. LET ME OPEN THAT PUBLIC HEARING FOR YOU AT 606. ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS? YEAH. PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN, MR. GREGORY, 89, 21 EAST SAM LEE LANE. YEAH. AND I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOURS AND THIS, BUT TOURS IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN THIS SEEMS LIKE BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY GET SOMETHING FOR IT. THIS IS JUST GIVING AWAY MONEY. 
          BUT THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT ANYWAY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I INTENDED TO SAY LAST WEEK AND I'D LIKE TO SAY ON THIS IN IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DEAL WITH IS WHEN WE BORROW MONEY, WE'RE YOU GUYS ALL KNOW ABOUT DEBT TO INCOME RATIO THAT THEY LOOK AT WHEN YOU'RE BORROWING MONEY. 
          MORE MONEY WE BORROW, THE WORSE THAT RATIO GETS. SO AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO END UP PAYING MORE INTEREST OR WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A LOAN BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TOO MUCH DEBT FOR OUR INCOME, PROPERTY TAX OR HOT OR WHATEVER IS PAYING FOR IT. AND THIS IS GIVING AWAY SOME OF THE MONEY THAT WE COULD HAVE USED TOWARDS PAYING OFF SOME OF THESE DEBTS. 
          AND THE TIME THAT'S GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. LIKE RIGHT NOW WE'RE DOING GREAT. YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMY IS BOOMING, HOUSE PRICES ARE GOING UP. SO THAT MEANS OUR INCOME GOES UP. BUT YOU KNOW 2008 HAPPENED COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. YOU KNOW, IF OUR PROPERTY VALUES TANK, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE A BUNCH OF INCOME. AND THAT MIGHT BE A POINT WHERE WE ACTUALLY NEED THE CREDIT TO BORROW TO COVER SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR. SO JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. THANKS. THANK YOU, MR. MCGREGOR. ANYBODY ELSE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. IT IS 6:08 P.M. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, OR WE WILL TAKE MOTIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES. WHAT ARE WE GETTING OUT OF THIS? WE'RE WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. WE'RE GETTING PROPERTY THAT WAS IN THE ETJ ANNEXED INTO THE TOWN. WE'RE GETTING. A KIND OF A SEGMENT OF THE ECONOMY THAT'S NOT REALLY COVERED. WE HAVE VERY LARGE WAREHOUSES AND WE HAVE RETAIL, BUT WE DON'T HAVE KIND OF THAT SMALLER 5 TO 10,000 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL FLEX SPACE. THIS WOULD BE MAYBE A POOL COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO STORE THEIR MATERIALS. IT IT'S EVEN SOME ATHLETIC COACHES. IT CAN BE, YOU KNOW, A PLUMBER SHOP WHERE THEY KEEP SOME OF THEIR MATERIALS AND THEY, THEY DISPATCH OUT OF. SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, PROVIDES A GAP KIND OF IN IN SOME OF OUR OFFERINGS. IT GETS PROPERTY IN TO THE TOWN LIMITS AND IT'S GOING TO DEVELOP AND IT'S, IT'S INCENTIVIZED SUCH THAT THE, THE THAT AS THEY DEVELOP THEY GET THAT ABATEMENT. BUT IT IT WEARS OFF PRETTY QUICK NATHAN. THIS WAS SIX YEARS. THAT GOES DOWN 20% EACH YEAR. SO IT COMES IT IT COMES ON THE TAX ROLL 100% PRETTY PRETTY QUICKLY FOR MOST OF THESE. SO AND YOU GUYS REMEMBER THIS WAS A LONG NEGOTIATION BACK AND FORTH. AND IT'S STILL TAKING A LONG TIME TO GET ALL THESE STEPS DONE. AND THAT Y'ALL WERE FOLLOWING COUNCIL DIRECTIVE DURING EVERYTHING THAT WE ALWAYS YES MA'AM WE ALWAYS DO BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO BRING IT ON IN. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. YES, 
          [00:40:01]
MA'AM. SO I, I HAVE A NOT REALLY WELL I GUESS IT IS A QUESTION, BUT JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW OVER THE, OVER THE LIFE AND AS THAT DEVELOPS, HOW MANY SMALLER OFFICES OR WAREHOUSE SPACE THAT FLEX SPACE, HOW MANY ARE GOING TO BE IN THAT. THAT'S 100 ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET. THAT'S AT LEAST 500, 500 COLLECTIVELY AGGREGATE 500,000FT■!S OF OFFIC. AND RIGHT. SO AT 10,000, THERE'S POTENTIALLY 50 OTHER BUSINESSES THAT CAN COME INTO THE TOWN. YEAH. INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES. 
          YES, SIR. OKAY. SO THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR A LOT OF TAX REVENUE OUT OF THIS IN THE LONG TERM. THAT'S EVEN POTENTIALLY SALES TAX REVENUE. RIGHT. YOU SEE AN ARGYLE YOU'RE SEEING SOME OTHER NEIGHBORING TOWNS. THIS KIND OF STUFF USUALLY PROSPERS PRETTY WELL. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF LANDSCAPING COMPANIES COME IN THAT'S NOT SO MUCH REVENUE. BUT THE T SHIRT PRINTING COMPANIES, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND LOCAL SCHOOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE USUALLY PRETTY SUCCESSFUL IN THOSE TYPES OF SPACES. IN MY IN MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN A SPACE LIKE THIS BEFORE, THE ONE IN ARGYLE AND OTHERS IN NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES HAVE HAVE SOLD OUT OR LEASED ALL OF THEIR SPACE PRIOR TO EVEN COMPLETING THE BUILDS. SO IT'S FOR A GROWING COMMUNITY. THIS IS GOOD. 
          [5.B. VOTE]
ANYTHING ELSE? COUNCILORS. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE WILL TAKE MOTIONS. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. THANK YOU, MR. KELLY. I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND FROM MISS HOLMES. 
          THE MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 1. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. ITEM C IS TO CONSIDER CALLING A PUBLIC 
          [5.C. Consider calling and authorizing a public hearing to be held on April 10, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., at Northlake Town Hall, 1500 Commons Circle, Suite 300, Northlake, Texas 76226, regarding the proposed renaming of Cleveland-Gibbs Road]
HEARING FOR A FUTURE DATE HERE, MR. REDDICK. YES. TO TONIGHT. THAT CONSIDERATION IS TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING CHANGING THE NAME OF CLEVELAND ROAD AND KIND OF THREE DIFFERENT AREAS. SO IF YOU REMEMBER, A FEW MONTHS BACK, YOU WERE BRIEFED ON THE NEED FOR SEVERAL FUTURE STREET NAME CHANGES IN THE TOWN FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. AND FIRST, AS A REMINDER, MANY OF OUR EXISTING STREET NAMES ARE TYPICALLY HONORING FOUNDING OR HISTORIC FAMILIES. CLEVELAND AND GIBBS ARE TWO OF THOSE. THOSE FAMILIES FROM THE AREA, AND THERE'S ALSO SEVERAL REPEATED STREET NAMES THAT CREATE CONFUSION FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS THAT AREN'T FULLY CONNECTED. THERE'S MANY STAIR STEPPED ROADS THAT WENT ALONG PROPERTY LINES THAT ARE NOW BECOMING A PART OF A GRID LAYOUT. SO FOR TO MAKE MORE SENSE, IT REQUIRES SOME CHANGES TO NAMES. AND THEN FINALLY, ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TALKING ABOUT THIS IS CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD WILL BE DISCONNECTED AT 35 W DUE TO THE NEW BRIDGE ALIGNMENT OVER 35 W, WHERE THE CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD BRIDGE WILL ULTIMATELY GO AWAY. 
          IT'LL BE REPLACED WITH WHAT WILL BE MULTI LANE CROSSING IT. SO THE RENAMING OF CLEVELAND GIBBS IS RECOMMENDED TO DO NOW AS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL NEW SECTIONS THAT HAVE OPENED OR WILL BE OPENING SOON. A FINAL SECTION IN THE RIDGE IS VERY NEAR COMPLETION. I ACTUALLY HAVE A FINAL WALKTHROUGH ON THAT TOMORROW, SO IT COULD BE VERY SOON THAT IT'S OPENING. THEY STILL NEED TO PUT STREET SIGNS UP, AND WE'VE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE GIBBS ROAD NAME. SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY ORDERING SIGNS FOR GIBBS ROAD IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS HAPPENING. A NEW ALIGNMENT ALONG PECAN SQUARE IS NEAR COMPLETION, AND IT WILL BE FULLY OPENED AND CONNECTED IN NEXT SUMMER. AS THE PLAN, THE NEW ALIGNMENT OF CLEVELAND GIBBS AROUND THE NORTHWEST REGIONAL AIRPORT HAS HAS BEEN OPEN NOW FOR A WHILE, AND THERE'S AN IMPROVED, IMPROVED INTERSECTION AND LANE EXPANSIONS AT 114 AND DALE EARNHARDT WAY. AND AS THAT 114 WORK IS BEING COMPLETED, THEY'LL BE PUTTING UP NICE NEW SIGNS. WE FEEL LIKE IT'S A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE THE NAME DOWN THERE SO YOU CAN GET THE NEW NAME ON THE SIGN. SO NOW JUST 
          [00:45:03]
TAKE A LOOK AT A MAP TO SEE WHAT THE PROPOSAL IS. SO FIRST IS ALL OF CLEVELAND GIBBS EXISTING CLEVELAND GIBBS. THAT IS TO REMAIN ON THE WEST SIDE OF 35 W TO CHANGE TO GIBBS ROAD. THAT WAY YOU'RE STILL KEEPING THAT HISTORIC NAME. THE GIBBS HOMESTEAD WAS ACTUALLY ON THIS SIDE OF 35. YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S A LITTLE. THERE'S A LITTLE LEAVE OUT HERE ACTUALLY TODAY CLEVELAND GIBBS CONTINUES DOWN, CROSSES OVER 35 AND COMES IN HERE. THAT PORTION OF CLEVELAND GIBBS WILL REMAIN FOR NOW. WE WON'T RENAME THAT BECAUSE THAT'LL ULTIMATELY BE GOING AWAY. AND IT'LL BE THE CONNECTOR. IN THE MEANTIME CONNECTING GIBBS AND CLEVELAND. 
          SO APPROPRIATE TO KEEP THAT CLEVELAND GIBBS NAME. AND THIS I TALKED ABOUT THE NEW ALIGNMENT ALONG PECAN SQUARE THAT IS JUST ABOUT COMPLETE IS RIGHT HERE. AND THEY'RE ALREADY BY PLAT NAMING IT GIBBS ROAD. AND AS THIS CONTINUES DOWN THAT'LL BE GIBBS ROAD. NEXT. MOST OF CLEVELAND GIBBS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 35 W CHANGE THAT TO CLEVELAND ROAD AGAIN. KEEP THAT HISTORIC NAME CLEVELAND. THE CLEVELAND HOMESTEAD WAS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 35 W. SO. SO YOU SEE THE HIGHLIGHTED SECTION THAT WOULD THAT WOULD CHANGE. THEN FINALLY THIS SECTION SOUTH OF 114 DOWN TO CHADWICK PARKWAY. THE PROPOSAL IS TO RENAME THAT TO DALE EARNHARDT. SO IT LINES UP WITH WHAT IS NORTH OF 114. AND THAT'LL BE A CONTINUOUS, CONTINUOUS ROAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH THE SAME NAME. WON'T CAUSE AS MUCH CONFUSION. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE BOTH CLEVELAND GIBBS AND DALE EARNHARDT ON THE EXIT SIGN. SO THE NOW IN THE STREET NAME CHANGE PROCESS, TOWN COUNCIL HAS THE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY ON RENAMING STREETS IN THE TOWN LIMITS. WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS TO DO THAT. THE PROPOSED PROCESS IS TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING. WE'LL POST NOTICE ON OUR WEBSITE. WE'LL ALSO MAIL NOTICES TO ALL AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS. 
          ANYBODY THAT HAS AN ADDRESS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED, AND WE'LL PROPOSE TO HAVE THAT PUBLIC HEARING AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON APRIL 10TH. AND AFTER THAT, YOU MAY CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THESE NAME CHANGES. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL PORTIONS OF CLEVELAND GIBBS THAT RUN THROUGH THE COUNTY, AND THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY FOR THE STREET NAMES IN THOSE AREAS. SO WE'LL NEED TO COORDINATE WITH DENTON COUNTY TO CHANGE THOSE NAMES SO THAT THESE STREET NAMES MATCH UP. BUT AS AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED TONIGHT IS JUST TO CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TO BEGIN THE PROCESS ABOUT HOW MANY HOMES DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT THOSE MAILERS GO TO? DO YOU HAVE A ROUGH COUNT? HOMES AREN'T GOING TO BE VERY MANY. YEAH, THERE'S JUST A FEW HOMES AROUND THE AIRPORT AREA. MOST OF IT'S GOING TO BE BUSINESSES, BUT IT'S A PRETTY RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER PROBABLY, I'D SAY MAYBE 30 TO 40. YEAH. THIS IS ACTUALLY BEEN KIND OF A HOT TOPIC. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT GOT SO HOT, BUT THEY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES SO THEY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING. AND WHEN YOU HAVE TWO DISCONNECTED ROADS LIKE I HATE GOING OUT 407 TO JUSTIN, IT DISCONNECTS. IT TURNS INTO 156 THEN BOOM. OH YOU'RE BACK ON 407. IF YOU TAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND DON'T MISS IT. 
          RIGHT. SO FOR A NEW RESIDENT OF THIS TOWN, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. AND EVERYBODY'S ALL THIS HULLABALOO ABOUT THE ROAD. I DON'T GET IT. JUST NOT THAT MANY YEARS AGO IS A GRAVEL ROAD THAT NOBODY USED. I MEAN, EXCEPT FOR A FARMER OR TWO. SO THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES, NAVIGATION SYSTEMS. I MEAN, IT'S THIS WILL ALL GET UPDATED IN GOOGLE AND ALL THESE MAP SYSTEMS. SO IT'S I THINK IT'S ABOUT THE RIGHT TIME. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT WE'D HOLD OFF UNTIL THE ROADS WERE REALIGNED. BUT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE. HAVE A TRANSITIONAL ROAD NAME AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ACROSS THE HIGHWAY BASICALLY. SO AND, AND WE'LL WE DO HAVE SOME MORE BUSINESSES PLANNED THAT WILL BE COMING ON WHAT'S CURRENTLY CLEVELAND GIBBS. SO WE WANT TO GET OUT AHEAD OF THAT TOO. YES. I JUST I WANT TO ECHO THE SAME I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS ESPECIALLY. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. AND THE TIMING SEEMS PERFECT FOR IT. AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S AFFECTING TOO MANY, TOO MANY PEOPLE. SO THANK YOU AGAIN. ARE WE MARRIED TO THE NAME OR DID IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO START FRESH WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT SO THAT 
          [00:50:07]
THERE IS LESS CONFUSION THAN FOR. THE. THE NAMING IS UP TO COUNCIL? THE THOUGHT WAS IT'S STILL KIND OF KEEPS THOSE HISTORIC NAMES AND IT WOULD BE AN EASIER TRANSITION SO PEOPLE COULD KEEP THEIR SAME ADDRESS NUMBER. AND YOU'RE JUST DROPPING PART OF THE NAME BECAUSE THERE WILL BE SOME TRANSITION PERIOD. AND POST OFFICE WILL STILL UNDERSTAND IF IT JUST SAYS IF IT SAYS CLEVELAND'S THIS IS WHAT WAS CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD OR IF IT STILL SAYS CLEVELAND GIBBS, THIS IS GIBBS OR CLEVELAND VICE VERSA. AND THERE IS NO OTHER CLEVELAND OR GIBBS IN THE NEAR AREA ANYWHERE. OKAY, I HAVE A COUPLE PART. QUESTION. ONE IS MAYBE FOR CHIEF BOND IF HE WANTS TO ANSWER. BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT IMPACT DOES APPROXIMATELY WHAT IMPACT DOES STREET NAME CONFUSION? I'M ASSUMING IT HAS AN IMPACT ON CALL RESPONSE TIME. NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE IT DOES CREATE CONFUSION. COME ON DOWN. ON FIRE, CHIEF. IT DOES. ANYTIME YOU TAKE A ROAD AND YOU HAVE THE CONTINUITY OF BROKEN UP AND SAY IT ENDS HERE AND STARTS BACK OVER HERE, THAT CREATES CONFUSION, NOT JUST FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, BUT THE PEOPLE CALLING IN 911. SO A LOT OF TIMES WE KNOW IT, BUT THE CALLERS GET CONFUSED. SO ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO KIND OF MINIMIZE THAT CONFUSION FROM THE CITIZENS PERSPECTIVE, IT REALLY HELPS US BECAUSE IT DOES. IF THEY'RE CONFUSED, THE DISPATCHER IS CONFUSED AND THE DISPATCHER IS CONFUSED, IT GETS DISPATCH WRONG AND THEN WE GET THE WRONG PLACE. SO IN A WEIRD WAY, IT DOES WHEN ANYTIME YOU BREAK THOSE ROADS UP, IT DOES CREATE CONFUSION. NO DOUBT. THANK YOU. THIS WOULD PARTICULARLY HELP YOU WITH YOUR NEW FIRE STATION LOCATION, WOULD IT NOT? OH, SO THIS IS A TOWN. THIS IS THE SECOND, SECOND PART. IN WHAT WAY DOES RENAMING THIS ROAD IMPACT THE TOWN STAFF'S ABILITY TO WORK ON ANY OTHER PROJECT? DOES RENAMING THIS ROAD IN ANY WAY TAKE AWAY YOUR TIME AND ABILITY TO WORK ON ANY OTHER EXISTING PROJECT IN THE TOWN? MAYBE MARGINALLY, BUT MOST OF THESE SIGNS ARE GOING TO BE PUT UP. BY THE WAY, WE'VE TIMED THEM, AND NATHAN DESCRIBED THAT THEY'LL BE PUT UP BY THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME. SO IT'S BEING DONE BY THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR CONTRACTOR. 
          SO THAT'S COVERED. THERE'LL BE SOME REPLACEMENT SIGNS, BUT WE HAVE A NEW SIGN CREW AND THIS WILL BE GREAT TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SAVE BECAUSE OUR STREET SIGNS AREN'T HAVE TO BE AS LONG BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SUPER LONG. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SAVINGS ON THE BACK END. WE'RE SAVING SOME DOLLARS, BUT WE'RE WE AND WE HAVE A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR OUR STRIPING AND SIGN CREW. BUT THIS WILL BE ONE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF SIGNS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED HAVE BEEN BLOWN OVER OR FADING. SO THIS WILL BE JUST PART OF OUR NORMAL WORKFLOW. AND THAT WHETHER WE CHANGE THE NAME OR NOT, WE ARE UPDATING THE SIGNAGE ALREADY AND WE HAVE TO UPDATE THE STRIPING AND ALL OF THAT. IS THAT RIGHT? SO WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO BE TAKING THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AND WORKLOAD FOR THE THINGS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE TO DO FOR THIS ROAD. WE'RE JUST CHANGING A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. YES. SO WE'RE NOT STEALING FROM ANY OTHER PROJECT OR PART OF THE TOWN BY DOING THIS, RIGHT? CORRECT. OKAY. SO THE OTHER THING IS, SINCE THIS IS A PROPOSED PROCESS FOR HOW WE RENAME THE TOWN, I MEAN, WE RENAME THE ROADS, BUT THAT THIS ISN'T THE PROCESS THAT. DOES THIS MEAN THAT. BECAUSE I'M NOT MARRIED TO CLEVELAND OR GIBBS EITHER. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IT MAKES MORE SENSE BECAUSE I WON'T REMEMBER A NEW A BRAND NEW, FRESH ROAD NAME? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT STOPS US FROM PROPOSING OR, YOU KNOW, PROPOSING THAT WE GO AHEAD AND START THE PROCESS FOR CHANGING THIS NAME NOW WITHOUT HAVING TO DO THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ALL THAT? BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE INVITING I'M I'M OPEN FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON ALL SORTS OF STUFF. THIS IS A LOGISTICS DECISION THAT WE HAVE THE SOLE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ON BEHALF OF THE TOWN. CAN WE NOT JUST DO IT IF WE WANT? WE COULD, BUT WE'D HAVE TO GO TO THE NEXT MEETING BECAUSE IT'S NOT NOTICED IN THAT WAY. SO IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR APPROVAL TONIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH PUBLIC TALK ABOUT ON THIS TOPIC THAT I'M OKAY HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING. LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES. AND THEN WE CAN SET PROCEDURE FOR THIS. THIS DOES NOT SET THE PROCEDURE IN STONE. WELL YES, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE'VE DONE IT. AND WE'RE FOLLOWING WHAT WHAT WE DID THE FIRST TIME. WHAT STREET WAS THAT NATHAN THAT WE RENAMED. THAT WAS CLEVELAND GIBBS TO DALE EARNHARDT ON THE NORTH SIDE. YEAH, WE CHANGED CLEVELAND GIBBS TO DALE EARNHARDT. SO WE'VE DONE THIS ONCE BEFORE. WE WE'RE LIKE, CAN I SAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TO RENAME IT TO CLEVELAND AND GIBBS AS PROPOSED? WELL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. ENSHRINING A PROCESS, A POLICY FOR YOU TO APPROVE. BUT BECAUSE OF THESE KIND OF KEY OPENING DATES, WE WANTED TO MOVE 
          [00:55:05]
FORWARD. WE THOUGHT THE TIMING WAS APPROPRIATE. BUT AS THAT FIRST BULLET POINT SAID, IT IS TOTALLY UNDER YOUR AUTHORITY. YOU CAN CHANGE IT TO WHATEVER NAME YOU WANT TO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE. IS THERE ANYTHING STOPPING ME FROM RIGHT NOW SAYING I MOTION TO GO AHEAD WITH THE CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED SO THAT WE CAN JUST START THE PROCESS? IS THERE ANYTHING STOPPING ME FROM DOING THAT? YES. THE AGENDA ITEM DOESN'T HAVE THE PUBLIC. HE WAS RIGHT. I MESS UP OCCASIONALLY, BUT NOT ON THINGS. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE I JUST DON'T. WE HAVE TONS OF COMPLICATED STUFF THAT WE GET TO DO ALL THE TIME. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO OVERCOMPLICATE THINGS IF WE DON'T HAVE TO. THE OTHER REASON TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THIS IS THERE ARE AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS. SO THAT IS A GOOD REASON TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THOSE. GIVE THEM A CHANCE. AND WE'RE AS WITH EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH IN THE MUNICIPAL SPHERE, WE'RE COPYING WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES DO. AND SO THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON WAY OF DOING THIS. 
          OKAY, I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT ABOUT THE RESIDENTS THAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED. BUT YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET A CONSENSUS ON NAMES IF YOU OPEN IT UP TO. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. YOU SEVEN DECIDE YOU YOU GET YOU GET INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC. BUT IT'S ULTIMATELY YOUR DECISION. AND WHATEVER NAME YOU CHOOSE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S JUST IT'S JUST, WELL, YOU DO NOW BECAUSE WE'VE CALLED IT. BUT ARE WE CONSIDERING CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING? YES, MA'AM. INSTEAD OF INSTEAD OF CALLING IT A PUBLIC HEARING, WE COULD JUST CALL IT UP ON THE NEXT AGENDA. SO VOTE FOR IT. WE? YEAH. NATHAN, IS A PORTION OF THIS COUNTY ROAD OR IS THIS ALL WITHIN THE TOWN? SOME OF IT'S IN THE COUNTY. SO THERE IS A SEPARATE PROCESS FOR COUNTY ROADS AND I BELIEVE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO DO WHAT WHICH WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ABIDE BY WHICHEVER WAY. YEAH, YEAH. AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS TO AVOID, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU HAVE A PROCESS ON THE MUNICIPAL SIDE THAT DOESN'T MEET THE COUNTY SIDE REQUIREMENTS. THAT'S WHY WE'VE KIND OF CREATED THE PROCESS TO IT'S A IT'S A BELT AND SUSPENDERS IN CASE THE WE NEED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE COUNTY AND THEN SUBMIT IT TO THEM. SO WE DO THE SAME THING ON THIS SIDE SO THAT WE DON'T MISS A STEP. GREAT. MAY I MAKE A COMMENT? ABSOLUTELY, SIR. WHY DID WE LET DALE EARNHARDT TAKE OVER THE NAME OF THAT ROAD RUNNING INTO 114? THAT OUGHT TO BE GIBBS. NO, THAT OUGHT TO BE CLEVELAND. ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAT INTERSTATE, THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION. DALE EARNHARDT HAS NEVER DONE A THING FOR NORTHLAKE THAT I KNOW OF. THE GIBBS AND CLEVELAND FAMILIES DID WELL. SO IT GOES BACK QUITE A WAYS. BEFORE I STARTED HERE, THAT PORTION WAS BUILT BY THE COUNTY. 
          THE PORTION THAT WE BUILT WAS ACTUALLY PARTIALLY MAINLY FUNDED BY THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY, AS WELL AS THE CITY OF FORT WORTH AND ACTUALLY, SECONDARILY, THE TOWN WAS BASED ON OUR BOUNDARY CHANGES, WAS INVOLVED IN GETTING THE TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY HERE. AND SO THEY'RE KIND OF ALL THESE MOVING PIECES. BUT, YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT WAS ACCOUNTING FUNDING. AND TO GET TO GET THAT ROAD THROUGH. SO THIS WAS DALE EARNHARDT WAS MORE A REQUEST ON THE COUNTY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY AND REQUEST THAT WE GET THE NAME OF THE STREET, NAME THE WAY WE WANT IT. AND WE KIND OF FOLLOWED ALONG WITH THE NAME THAT THEY WANTED. SO THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE ENDED UP WITH DALE EARNHARDT WAY AS PART OF A LARGER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH SHORTER ALIGNMENT, THOUGH, IF WE HAD KEPT JUST CLEVELAND DOWN THERE. WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE MILES FOR CLEVELAND FAMILY, SO IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION HERE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CALL UP. WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY REAL QUICK, LIKE IF YOU GO TO ANY REALLY OLD TOWN DALLAS, GO DOWN TO FORT WORTH OR GO TO ESPECIALLY CITIES AND TOWNS IN THE NORTHEAST. NORTHEAST. IF YOU GO UP THERE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME OR THE PROCESS TO MAKE PROPER NAME CHANGES. AND IT IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING WEATHER. AND I'M A FORMER FIRST RESPONDER, AND I WORKED IN AN OLD TOWN AND IT DOES. IT GETS CONFUSING BECAUSE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, WHETHER IT'S THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR THE POLICE OR ANYBODY, THEY ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE INFORMATION THEY'RE PROVIDED. I MEAN, PERIOD, THAT THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS. AND ULTIMATELY THAT'S GOING TO DICTATE A LOT OF THAT PERSON'S ENTIRE INTERACTION BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO START TO JUDGE BASED ON THAT RESPONSE TIME OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE. AND 
          [01:00:02]
IT DOES. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. SO LIKE HAVING A PROCESS WHERE THIS IS DONE AHEAD OF TIME, LIKE WE'RE DOING NOW WITH THIS MAKES THINGS DOWN THE ROAD WAY, WAY EASIER FOR THE CITIZENS AND THE TOWN AS A WHOLE. ALL RIGHT. SO I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR COUNCIL AND CONSENSUS KIND OF REQUEST. HERE IS THE PROCEDURE LAID OUT FOR YOU ACCEPTABLE? NO. MOVING FORWARD I HAVE A KNOW IT IS FOR ME. I'LL SAY YES BECAUSE AGAIN, YES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. BUT THERE ARE CERTAINLY PROBABLY SOME, SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO WANT SOME SORT OF INPUT TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. THANK YOU, MISS HOLMES. REAL BRIEFLY. WHAT YOUR OBJECTION TO THIS PROCESS? I DON'T HAVE AN AN OBJECTION NORMALLY ON PUBLIC INPUT, BECAUSE I DEFINITELY THINK THAT I WANT AS MUCH PUBLIC INPUT ON ALMOST EVERYTHING EVER. BUT THIS IS JUST A PROCEDURAL STEP THAT WE HAVE. WE ALREADY EXIST. WE'RE IN HAVING THE AUTHORITY TO DO IT, AND THAT IF WE OVERCOMPLICATE EVERY STEP OF ALL OF OUR PROCESSES, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE SPENDING EXTRA TIME, EXTRA MEETINGS, ALL THIS STUFF OR ANYTHING. SO I THINK EVEN THOUGH THIS IS JUST ONE THING, THAT FOR THE RENAMING OF THE STREETS, UNLESS WE COME TO ONE DOWN IN THE FUTURE, THAT IS SPECIFICALLY COMPLICATED AND SPECIFICALLY IMPACTS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND, YOU KNOW, IS CONTROVERSIAL OR WHATEVER, THAT WE DON'T NEED TO OVERCOMPLICATE IT. WE JUST NEED TO PUT IT ON TO VOTE AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AT THE NEXT MEETING. ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. SO WHAT IS OUR CONSENSUS HERE? I HAVE A YAY ROGER. YAY YAY OKAY. 
          MR. GAINES. ALL RIGHT. FIVE TWO. SO IT'S NOT A TOTAL CONSENSUS, BUT I'M I'M COMFORTABLE MOVING AHEAD WITH THE PROCESS AND HAVING THAT. IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO COUNCIL, I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. JUST BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES ON 114 COULD HAVE A REAL ISSUE WITH THIS. NOT THAT I'M EXPECTING IT, BUT IT COULD. AND YOU WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE'S VOICES HEARD ON THAT. THEY COULD ALWAYS COME PUBLIC INPUT. BUT THAT PUBLIC HEARING IS IMPORTANT TO CALL. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. IT'S WELL RESPECTED. UNDERSTAND. ALL RIGHT. WITH THIS 
          [5.C. VOTE]
I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO CALL THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS ITEM. 
          I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. 
          MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO MOTION PASSES. WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING NEXT MEETING. SIX ONE. 
          DID I SAY UNANIMOUS? YOU SAID 6061. MY APOLOGIES. ALL RIGHT. ITEM D WHO DO WE HAVE UP FOR 
          [5.D. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, waiving water and sewer impact fees for development of the Denton County Emergency Services District No. 1 and No. 2 Fire Station 512 at 3850 Dale Earnhardt Way; authorizing the Town Manager to execute any documents necessary to facilitate the waiver of water and sewer impact fees]
THIS ONE DREW. YES I TAKE THE TOUGH ONES HERE. SO. JUST AS A BACKGROUND WE DO NOW HAVE TWO EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICTS. NUMBER ONE IS FIRE AND RESCUE AND TWO IS EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES. THEY HAVE AS WE'VE GONE WE'VE GONE TO THE GROUNDBREAKING THERE ON DALE EARNHARDT WAY. THEY WON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS OF THIS ONE. THEY WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS OF THE ONE ON CLEVELAND GIBBS SO THAT BUT THIS IS THE FIRST FIRE STATION IN NORTH LAKE TOWN LIMITS. AND BECAUSE THE FIRST FIRE STATION WAS IN THE ETJ, IT WASN'T SUBJECT TO IMPACT FEES. PLANS ARE APPROVED. THEY'RE PERMITS READY. WE JUST NEED THEM TO PAY THEIR FEES. SO SOME OF OUR LARGER FEES FOR DEVELOPMENT ARE OUR WATER IMPACT FEES, WATER AND SEWER IMPACT FEES. THE FIRE STATION CALLS FOR A TWO INCH DOMESTIC WATER METER AND A ONE INCH DOMESTIC WATER METER. THOSE ASSESSMENTS ARE ALMOST $182,000. THERE IS ALSO OUR WHOLESALE WATER PROVIDER, FORT WORTH, CHARGES A PASS THROUGH IMPACT FEE OF ALMOST 21,000. WE DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE THAT FEE. THE TOWN COULD PAY FOR THAT FEE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE THAT FEE. WE'RE ON THE HOOK FOR THAT. SO, YOU KNOW, OUR ESD'S ARE FULLY FUNDED BY PROPERTY TAX AS WELL AS A LARGE PORTION OF OUR OPERATIONS HERE FOR THE TOWN. SO WE'RE REALLY KIND OF TAXING THEM TWICE. AND THIS FIRE STATION IS DEFINITELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE TOWN. IT'S GOING TO COVER OUR SOUTHERN PORTION. AND THIS IS KIND OF AT THE BOTTOM CORNER 
          [01:05:01]
OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT. SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY GO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO THEY'LL BE MUTUAL AID OF COURSE. BUT THIS THEY'LL BE THIS WILL BE OUR SERVICE AREA. AND THE COUNCIL CAN WAIVE IMPACT FEES IF, IF, IF WE PROVE OR SHOW THAT THERE IS A BENEFIT TO THE TOWN OR TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO WAIVE THE WATER AND SEWER IMPACT FEES FOR THIS FIRE STATION. I I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS BECAUSE WE WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY DOUBLE TAXING AND OUR ESD DISTRICT IS ALREADY RECOVERING FROM MAJOR FINANCIAL STRESSES. 
          VERY WELL, BY THE WAY. BUT I DON'T THINK YOU NEED A $200,000 HIT FROM THE TOWN. SO I THINK THAT IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. WE ALWAYS SAY WE SUPPORT OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND STUFF, AND THIS IMPACT FEE, I DON'T BELIEVE, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE SOME DRILLS. RICKY, HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU GUYS GO THROUGH AS STATION? NO, NOT VERY MUCH. JUST LIKE A HOUSE. OKAY. SO YOU'RE NOT OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, RUNNING THE FIRES AND PRACTICING DRILLS AND STUFF. SO THIS IS THIS IS PRETTY LOW IMPACT AT THE END OF THE DAY. BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE CAPACITY AT THOSE WATER METER RATES IF AN EMERGENCY DOES OCCUR. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL'S SUPPORT IN THIS I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. SO WE DON'T DOUBLE TAX OUR CITIZENS. I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT IN A VERY SHORT TIME. WE'RE IN SOME VERY DARK PHASES IN THE DEPARTMENT, AND IN SUCH A SHORT TIME WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR CHIEF ON AND SHELDON GILBERT AND WORKING WITH THE UNION, SAM JOHNSON, I IT'S INCREDIBLE THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AND THE WAY YOU ALL HAVE SHOWN SUCH LEADERSHIP AND HAVE SAVED OUR SERVICES, AND WE ARE SO FORTUNATE IN NORTH LAKE TO HAVE SUCH OUTSTANDING SERVICES. AND JUST LISTENING TO THE FIRE STATION THAT'S GOING TO BE READY TO OPEN OR BE BUILT BY JULY, THEY ARE INNOVATIVE AND THEY CONTINUE TO ADD AMBULANCE SERVICE AND PARAMEDICS, AND IT'S INCREDIBLE THE GROWTH. AND I'M JUST SO VERY PROUD AND ABSOLUTELY 100% BACK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR I'LL TAKE MOTIONS. I HAVE A COMMENT AND THEN A MOTION. I'LL SAY THAT IN ADDITION TO WANTING TO JUST SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES, IT ALSO SEEMS SILLY TO CHARGE OURSELVES A BILL THAT OUR PROPERTY TAX PAYERS HAVE TO HAVE TO PAY, ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE WE'RE JUST SAYING, HERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY 
          [5.D. VOTE]
WITH OUR PROPERTY TAXES ALSO. SO WE'RE JUST DOING A LITTLE CIRCLE THING. SO MY MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. I'LL SECOND. ROGER, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT BEFORE WE TAKE THE VOTE? NO ONE TAKES A VOTE. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          [5.E. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, waiving roadway impact fees for development of the property located at 7471 Evelyn Lane; authorizing the Town Manager to execute any documents necessary to facilitate the waiver of roadway impact fees]
MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. SEVEN ZERO. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. AND FINALLY, ITEM E, ROADWAY IMPACT FEES. PAY ATTENTION. COUNCIL. THIS ONE'S INTERESTING. SO IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE TOWN, THE ROAD IMPACT IMPACT FEES ARE ARE THE HIGHEST. YOU HAVE THE LEAST DENSITY. AND YOU STILL HAVE A ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE THE IMPACT FEE IS 14,680 AND $28. SO SIMPSON PROPERTIES OWNS 57 ACRES. THEY'RE BUILDING A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON THAT PROPERTY. AND IN WORKING WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNER, THIS PROPERTY OWNER IS ACTUALLY IN THE ROAD BUSINESS. AND SINCE SINCE BUILDING OR AS THEY'RE PREPARING THAT HOUSE, THEY HAVE PROVIDED TWO LOADS OF BLADED GRAVEL, WHICH HAS A MARKET VALUE OF 11,000. THEY'VE. REPAIRED THE DRAINAGE DITCH AT A, AT A MARKET VALUE OF 3500. I GOT A TEXT FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER. THEY'VE CLEARED BACK THE TREES ALONG THIS, SO FULLY ANTICIPATE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE BASIC MAINTENANCE ON THIS ROADWAY. WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON THIS IS THIS IS EVELYN. IT IS THE NORTH SOUTH SECTION. IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE STAIRSTEP ROADS. THIS IS THE NORTH SOUTH SECTION. THE SECTION THAT COMES OFF OF FLORENCE THAT WILL TIE INTO OLD JUSTIN ROAD, THAT WILL BE PAVED AS PART OF THE FORT ROAD PROJECT. AND THEN THERE'S 
          [01:10:03]
ANOTHER EAST WEST PORTION OVER TOWARD FLORENCE. BUT SO THE RULE, REMEMBER, IS IT A DOES IT BENEFIT THE PUBLIC? DOES IT BENEFIT THE TOWN? LOOK. AND SO THE WAY THAT THE, THE APPLICANT OR THE INDIVIDUAL, DANIEL SIMPSON, IS THE VALUE THAT HE'S GIVEN IS ROUGHLY EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THAT IMPACT FEE. SO TRYING TO PROVE UP THAT AND WE'RE GETTING VALUE FOR THAT. SO THIS IS BASICALLY A WASH THEN. CORRECT. YES SIR. YES SIR. IT PROBABLY ACTUALLY IN OUR OUR 
          [5.E. VOTE]
FAVOR AS HE CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THIS ROAD I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY YOU VOTE YES ON THIS. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND VERY QUICKLY ON THIS ONE. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. SEVEN ZERO. WITH THAT, WE WILL BE HEADED TO
