YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. YOUR SHORT TIME HERE ON COUNCIL HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING. I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE. I'M SURE COUNCIL DOES AS WELL. TAKES A LOT TO SACRIFICE TIME AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY TO BE HERE AND HELP MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AFFECTING YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. SO FROM MY HEART, THANK YOU FOR SERVING. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE IT. YOU KNOW, REALLY, AS AS MY TIME ON TOWN COUNCIL COMES TO A CLOSE, I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE AND SHARE A FEW THOUGHTS. ONE OF THE MARKS OF STRONG LEADERSHIP, IN MY VIEW, IS THE ABILITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE MISTAKES AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY WHEN WE FALL SHORT. NONE OF US ARE PERFECT, BUT HONESTLY, HUMILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE CORNERSTONES OF GOOD GOVERNANCE, AND I'VE DONE MY BEST TO LEAD WITH THOSE PRINCIPLES. I WANT TO THANK MY WIFE FOR HER UNWAVERING SUPPORT, HER BELIEF IN ME, AND THE GRACE SHE'S SHOWED IN ALLOWING ME TO DEDICATE THE TIME THIS ROLE REQUIRED. I COULDN'T HAVE SERVED WITHOUT HER. AND IF I COULD LEAVE THE CITIZENS OF NORTH LAKE IN OUR DEDICATED STAFF IN THE FUTURE LEADERSHIP OF TOWN COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR WITH ONE THOUGHT IT'S THIS EVERYTHING IS BUILT ON THE QUALITY OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS. DON'T LET A JOB, A TITLE, AMBITION OR EVEN A NOBLE CAUSE COME AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER MOST. NURTURE YOUR FAMILY, TREASURE YOUR FRIENDS, AND UPLIFT YOUR NEIGHBORS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ALL CALL NORTH LAKE HOME. WE ARE AMERICANS. WE PERSEVERE, WE ADAPT, AND WE MOVE FORWARD. WHEN LIFE GETS HARD. 
          [00:10:04]
IT'S THE STRENGTH OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WILL HELP YOU KEEP GOING. THANK YOU FOR THE HONOR OF SERVING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU, BLACK FRAME. ARE YOU GOING TO GET A PROSCIUTTO YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP. AND, MAYOR, WOULD YOU GET A QUICK PICTURE WITH HIS APPRECIATION PLAQUE? YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR. THANK YOU. CHAIR. MY PLEASURE. SERVING. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU SIR. I APPRECIATE YOUR. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO THANK JOSH FOR STEPPING UP TO RUN FOR COUNCIL HERE AS WELL AS HIS. AS WELL AS MR. FLORES FOR STEPPING UP TO RUN. APPRECIATE THE CLEAN RACE THAT YOU GUYS RAN, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION TO COME SERVE THE TOWN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU COUNCIL. ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER WORDS. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE WILL START WITH PRESENTATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. I THINK I ALREADY DID SOME OF THIS. I ALREADY DID ALL THAT DIDN'T WE. ALL RIGHT. WE GOT IT. WE DIDN'T EVEN NEED ANY AGENDA FOR THAT. WE GOT A GAME TO GET 
          [4.C. Briefing - Town Manager Updates]
TO. RIGHT? RIGHT. YES. MR. CORN, DO YOU HAVE ANY BRIEFINGS FOR US? I JUST WANT TO WELCOME THIS. 
          THIS IS THE NEW COUNCIL AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU GUYS. JOSH HAS BEEN ON PNC SO HE KNOWS A LOT OF OUR STAFF. BUT HERE'S OUR STAFF. MANY OF THEM ARE HERE WITH US TONIGHT. NATHAN IS OUR DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. ERIC IS PUBLIC WORKS JOHN FINANCE DIRECTOR. CHIEF CRAWFORD LEANNE COURT ADMINISTRATOR, Z TOWN SECRETARY AND MAJOR IS OUR DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. LAST FEW MONTHS WE'VE CONTINUED TO HIRE. WE HAVE A CADET IN THE ACADEMY, HAVE A NEW AD REPLACEMENT EMPLOYEE LEFT US, LEFT FOR ANOTHER CITY. BUT WE REPLACED HER WITH KAMERON NEAL AND SOME MAINTENANCE WORKERS THAT WE RECENTLY HIRED. IMPORTANT DATES. WE HAVE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS FOR YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE SOME. AGAIN. NO. NO PHOTOS PLEASE. YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING TO? WE WOULD LIKE WE HOPE TO HAVE YOUR APPOINTMENTS MAY 22ND AT THAT MEETING. SO THEY'LL BE ALL ABLE, IF THEY NEED A REFRESH OR IF IT'S A NEW BOARD MEMBER, TAKE IT THERE. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR OLD ONE, YOU CAN DO THAT TOO. WAY AHEAD IS OCTOBER 18TH. WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION. WE HOPE TO HAVE IT OUR NEW CONFERENCE CENTER. BRINGING SOMEONE IN. AMERICAN AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE LUNCH WITH HIM AND KIND OF TALK BIG PICTURE. LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT HTML CONFERENCE. AND THEN OUR BOARD APPRECIATION DINNER IN DECEMBER. 
          I WANT TO ONE OF YOUR FIRST ACTIONS IS ON THE 22ND IS THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. AND MANY OF YOU SERVED ON BOARDS BEFORE. THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT POSITIONS. I REALLY LIKE YOU TO IMPRESS UPON YOU TO TAKE THE TIME. I KNOW A LOT OF Y'ALL DO CONTACT THOSE. WE HAD OPENED IT MAY 5TH. IT STILL HAS A DEADLINE TILL MAY 15TH, BUT YOU'RE THE COUNCIL, SO IF YOU WANT TO BRING SOMEBODY AT THE LAST MINUTE, YOU CAN DO THAT TOO. BUT IN ORDER TO GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO VERIFY THAT THEY'RE VOTING MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS OF NORTHLAKE, THAT'S A CHARTER CONDITION. GIVE HER ENOUGH TIME TO DO THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE SOME EXPIRED TERMS, WHICH YOU TYPICALLY YOU APPOINT, BUT EXCEPT FOR THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPOINT OR REMOVE AT ANY TIME YOU WANT. BUT TRADITIONALLY IT'S WHEN THEIR TERMS ARE UP ON ON LIKE A MULTI-TERM LIKE ON THE EDC AND CDC. SO HERE IS SOME AND WE'VE ALREADY LEARNED THAT SOME ARE NOT SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT. 
          THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT IS A TWO YEAR TERM AND YOU CANNOT REMOVE THEM. SO I'M JUST THIS IS AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE DIRECTION OR IF YOU WANT TO REAFFIRM THE EXISTING MEMBERS ON THE BOARD, WE WE'RE WAITING TO RECEIVE EMAILS FROM EXISTING BOARD MEMBERS IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO SERVE. BUT WE DO KNOW IN HIS WILL IS MOVING. AND SO HE WILL HE HE WILL NOT BE ON NOT BE AVAILABLE. AND THEN ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANY IS ALSO MOVING SO HE'LL NOT BE SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT. SO WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING 
          [00:15:02]
TO BE SOME VACANCIES AND PLANNING AND ZONING. YOU APPOINT EVERY TIME. SO ALL OF THESE ARE COMING UP. JOSH OF COURSE HAS MOVED UP TO COUNCIL. JENNA IS NOT SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT, SO THERE'S ALREADY SOME VACANCIES THERE. WE'VE DONE THIS SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. YOU CAN TAKE EACH PLACE AT A TIME. YOU CAN COME WITH A, A, A SLATE OF CANDIDATES. YOU CAN WE CAN DO A STRAW POLL. REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME AFTER THE CHARTER, WE CREATED ALL THE BOARDS. WE HAD SO MANY POSITIONS, YOU COULD EVEN HAVE A NON QUORUM NOMINATING COMMITTEE IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THAT. BUT THOSE ARE YOUR OPTIONS. WORK WITH THE MAYOR. YOU LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WANT US. STAFF WANTS YOU TO HELP YOU DO THAT. I WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU DO YOUR BEST TO CONTACT THE APPLICANTS PRIOR TO THE MEETING. YOU KNOW, AND BE PREPARED FOR THAT. IT IS KIND OF CRAZY, AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE AND THE TIME YOU WORK, YOU KNOW, THE HOMEWORK YOU DO AHEAD OF TIME PAYS OFF IN THAT MEETING. AND HOPEFULLY WE GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION AND ALLOW YOU TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR THE TOWN. AND THEN JUST BRIEFLY, AND JOSH AND I WENT THROUGH THE ORIENTATION. BUT YOU GUYS ARE THE BIG PICTURE. YOUR VISIONARY. I AM THE IMPARTIAL ARBITER. I'M THE ONE THAT MAKES SURE POLICIES, I PUT THEM INTO PLACE. I TRY TO BE EFFICIENT, TRY TO BE PRACTICAL. EVERYBODY ON STAFF REPORTS. TO ME IT'S WE HAVE A CHAIN OF COMMAND CONCEPT. IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY WITH MY STAFF, YOU ALLOW ME A CHANCE TO TAKE CARE OF IT. 
          AND IF I DON'T FIX IT, THEN YOU GET RID OF ME AND GET SOMEONE THAT CAN DO THAT. BUT YOU GUYS ARE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. YOU'RE THE BIG PICTURE. I WAS TALKING TO ROGER RECENTLY ABOUT THIS. I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE PAST. PARKINSON'S LAW OF TRIVIALITY. WE HAVE A TENDENCY AS HUMANS TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON, AGAIN, A SMALLER STUFF BECAUSE WE CAN UNDERSTAND IT. WE CAN. WE KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE A STREET NAME, RIGHT? SO WE IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S PERSONAL OR IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ATTAINABLE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. 
          MAYBE A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IS NOT SO MUCH SO. SO IT'S HARD TO DO. WE YOU KNOW, WE ALL DO IT. 
          BUT I JUST YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF THE TOUGH THINGS OF YOUR POSITION IS TO HOW TO DO YOUR TIME. I KNOW ROGER TOLD ME WE HADN'T SPENT ENOUGH TIME ON THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING. IT WAS IN THERE. BUT OTHER THINGS TOOK UP YOUR TIME AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GO OVER THAT. SO WE'LL DO OUR BEST AS STAFF TO HELP WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS, BRING THINGS TO YOU THAT WE THINK ARE IMPORTANT. BUT OF COURSE, YOU GUYS ARE THE FINAL ARBITER. SO YOU TELL US WHAT'S IMPORTANT. I GOT A NEW GOT A NEW QUOTE THERE, AND I WISH THE STATE LEGISLATURE WOULD WOULD READ THESE QUOTES. OF COURSE, WE KNOW THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS. THERE ARE ONLY TRADE OFFS. 
          THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE GIVE AND TAKE. AND BUT THE NEW ONE AND ANOTHER GREAT, ANOTHER GREAT ECONOMIST. THE CRUCIAL QUESTION FOR ANY POLICY IS NOT WHAT ARE ITS INTENTIONS, BUT WHAT ARE ITS EFFECTS. AND SO ONE OF MY JOBS IS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS. WE CAN'T KNOW EVERYTHING, BUT TO MY BEST OF MY ABILITY, I WILL TRY TO COMMUNICATE WHAT THOSE EFFECTS ARE TO HELP YOU MAKE BETTER DECISIONS. SO AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS! LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER YEAR WORKING WITH A NEW COUNCIL BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION. SO IT CHANGES THE DYNAMIC OF THAT. SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE. MAYOR, THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. THANK YOU DREW I 
          [4.A. Announcement - Mayor Brian Montini Welcome]
APPRECIATE THAT. AND FOR COUNCIL, AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO A NEW SESSION HERE WITH NEW COUNCIL ON BOARD, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE TIME TO GO THROUGH YOUR PACKETS AHEAD OF TIME. SPEAK TO STAFF, SPEAK TO DREW NOT AT 430 ON THE MEETING NIGHT. I'LL TAKE IT. HE'LL DO IT, BUT I'LL TAKE IT. LET'S MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRST. RIGHT. WE. 
          WE PUBLISH THE ENTIRE PACKETS ONLINE FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE. SO EVERYBODY SEES SAME INFORMATION GOING IN. BUT YOU DO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH STAFF AND UNDERSTAND THE GIVES AND TAKES. AND BECAUSE WE CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT THAT. SO DO THAT WITH STAFF. AS FAR AS THE BOARDS ARE CONCERNED, LAST YEAR WE HAD SOME VARIOUS DISCUSSIONS. 
          PLEASE COME PREPARED. IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE PHONE CALLS AND STUFF, THEN, YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY LIMIT, LIMIT YOUR SAY IN WHAT'S GOING ON. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE TIME AND INVEST THAT INTO THE CANDIDATES. FURTHERMORE, I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER UP HERE. GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. EVEN IF I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING OFF THE RAILS, IT IS YOUR TIME. YOU'RE ELECTED TO SPEAK AND REPRESENT THE CITIZENS. SO JUST TRY TO KEEP EVERYTHING ORDERLY AND CIVIL. I THINK WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF THAT IN THE PAST. AND WELCOME TO COUNCIL, JOSH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WITH THAT, IF THERE'S NO
