CONGRATULATIONS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A SPECIAL THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE RED CROSS TO LISA PEREA, A COLLEAGUE OF SERGEANT HARMON AND OFFICER KIRKWOOD, FOR HER THOUGHTFUL NOMINATION THAT MADE THIS RECOGNITION POSSIBLE. SO.

HE'S TALL.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CALL CHIEF RICKY VAUGHN UP HERE TO SAY A FEW WORDS. AND THEN IF THE COUNCIL WOULDN'T MIND, WE CAN GO INTO THE BACK AND TAKE SOME PHOTOS REAL QUICK. SO, CHIEF VAUGHN, EVENING, MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'LL BE BRIEF, BUT I DO WANT TO JUST. ON BEHALF OF DENTON COUNTY ESD ONE, I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THESE TWO OFFICERS AND PRESENT THEM ONE OF OUR CHALLENGE POINTS. YOU KNOW, THEIR THEIR QUICK ACTIONS, YOU KNOW, THEIR COMPASSION AND THEIR PROFESSIONALISM REALLY EXEMPLIFIES THE OUTSTANDING TRAINING AND TEAMWORK AND DEDICATION OF NORTHLAKE POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. WE TRAIN WITH THEM. WE WERE JUST DOING CPR TRAINING WITH THEM THIS WEEK WITH THE NEW EMPLOYEES. AND SO IT'S JUST I SAY THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT IT TRULY TAKES A VILLAGE TO KEEP A COMMUNITY SAFE. AND I MEAN THAT AND I MEAN THAT BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS, DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS, WE CAN'T GET THERE FAST ENOUGH. WE JUST CAN'T. AND I GIVE YOU THE PERFECT EXAMPLE. JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO, ON OCTOBER 1ST, THERE WAS AN INCIDENT ACCIDENT THERE AT 407 AND I-35 AT AROUND 6:15 P.M. NOW THINK ABOUT THAT 615 AT 407 I-35. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? YES, EXACTLY. THIS GENTLEMAN HAD SLUMPED OVER.

BYSTANDER HAD SAID SOME OLDER MAN HAD SLUMPED OVER THE STEERING WHEEL, AND IT CAME IN AS A CARDIAC ARREST. WELL, POLICE OFFICERS GOT ON SCENE. THEY PERFORMED CPR, APPLIED THE AED, ADMINISTERED A SHOT BEFORE WE COULD EVEN GET THERE. AND WE DID GET A PULSE BACK ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. AND THAT'S JUST A WEEK AGO. AND I COULD TELL YOU NUMEROUS STORIES THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, AND EVEN SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS OF THE SAME STORIES, AND IT'S REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN HOW IT TAKES ALL OF US TO WORK TOGETHER. SO I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH TO OUR CITIZENS TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE A MOMENT TO LEARN CPR AND USE IT BECAUSE YOU TRULY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS TRAGIC EVENT, WHERE A LOSS OF ONE SINGLE LIFE SAVED MANY LIVES. AND THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO YOUR YOUR ACTIONS AND YOUR COURAGE. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IN THIS INCIDENT AND I KNOW THE DETAILS OF THIS INCIDENT, YOU PROBABLY ASSUMED THAT THIS PERSON WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. BUT YET YOUR DEDICATION AND YOUR HARD WORK AND COURAGE AND THE OUTCOME IS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. SO THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY. THANK YOU. CHIEF. THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING NEW OFFICERS DOING THE PINNING FOR US. SO WE GET TO MEET THEM AND SEE THEM. TESTAMENT TO YOUR RECRUITING AND BRINGING PEOPLE INTO THIS DEPARTMENT OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, WE'RE GOING TO STEP OUTSIDE FOR A QUICK PHOTO AND THEN WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. I'M A I'LL LET Y'ALL GO IN FRONT OF ME SO I DON'T SLOW YOU DOWN.

[00:16:14]

AND ON THE WAY BACK, CHIEF IS ON THE WAY. HERE HE COMES. FOR THE CHIEF. IT'S A BUSY EVENING.

IT IS. ALRIGHT, SO THIS. THE NEXT PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE AN UPDATE OF OUR FISCAL YEAR

[2.C. Briefing - Northake Police Department Annual Update]

WE WE HAVE COMPLETED SOME OF THOSE SUBMITTALS. WE HAVE OVER 50% OF OUR POLICIES SUBMITTED ALREADY, PROBABLY MORE LIKE 75% AT THE CURRENT TIME. LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET, WE HAD A DRONE VEHICLE PUT INTO PLACE, AND WE'VE USED IT SEVERAL TIMES, NOT ONLY IN NORTHLAKE, BUT IN EXISTING SURROUNDING AGENCIES HELPED TRACK MISSING CHILDREN, FUGITIVES THAT RAN FROM THE POLICE ON CERTAIN SITUATIONS. I THINK WE'RE IN PONDER LAST WEEK ON A FUGITIVE THAT RAN FROM DPS, AND THEY CALLED US BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE HAVE DRONES. THEN ALSO OUR CITIZENS ON PATROL PROGRAM THAT CAME THROUGH THE CPA AND THEY STARTED THEIR OWN THEIR OWN PROGRAM USED PATROL IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND THAT FOOTPRINT A LITTLE BIT NEXT YEAR. WE'RE HOPING TO GET TWO VEHICLES THAT THEY CAN DO THAT IN. THEY'VE REALLY KICKED IT OFF AND DONE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS SO FAR. SO THE GOALS FOR 2026, WE ARE PARTICIPATING REGIONALLY IN THE SWAT TEAM. WE HAVE WE'RE APPROVED FOR TWO OFFICERS FOR THAT. I WAS A FORMER COMMANDER OF IT. IT'S IT'S A GREAT TOOL TO HAVE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY SITUATION. THERE'S ABOUT SIX OTHER CITIES THAT ARE IN THAT THAT TEAM. AND THEN ALSO WE'RE GOING TO LEVERAGE OUR TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE SOME MORE TECHNOLOGY COMING WITH OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION. THEY HAVE SOME FORENSIC SOFTWARE THAT THEY CAN DOWNLOAD COMPUTERS AND OTHER PDAS AND TELEPHONES WITH. THAT'S A BIG PLUS FOR US. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE WE HAVEN'T COMPLETED ANYTHING YET ON IT, BUT WE'VE GOT A PARTNERSHIP WITH AREA AGENCIES. FORT WORTH IS THE LEADING AGENCY ON A REAL TIME CRIME CENTER, WHERE THEY'VE ASKED 40 AGENCIES SURROUNDING FORT WORTH TO HAVE ACCESS TO OUR LPRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND 30 OF US HAVE ALREADY AGREED TO BE A PART OF IT IN THE BEGINNING. WE'LL SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST LATER ON. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT IS HUNTING FUGITIVES THAT COME THROUGH HERE. IF IT HITS ON OURS, THEN ALL OF US KNOW THE AREA. ANOTHER ONE IS HIRING TOP QUALITY STAFF. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE WE'VE BEEN APPROVED FOR TWO ADDITIONAL POSITIONS, TWO CORPORALS. THAT'S GOING TO HELP US SUPERVISION ON SHIFTS. SO WHEN A SERGEANT'S OFF, YOU STILL HAVE ANOTHER SUPERVISOR ON THE SHIFT. SO WE SHOULD HAVE A SERGEANT, A CORPORAL AND THREE OFFICERS ON ON SHIFT AT A TIME. AND THEN WITH OUR NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING IN PECAN SQUARE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FULL TIME SRO, A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER THERE. SOME OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS WITH RECRUITING. IN 2013, WE HAD NINE OFFICERS. WE ARE IN 2026. WE SHOULD BE UP TO 32 OFFICERS BY THEN. SO IT'S A TWO AND A HALF TIMES INCREASE IN SWORN PERSONNEL SINCE THEN. AND THREE AND A HALF OVERALL PERSONNEL, INCLUDING OUR PART TIME. SO WE HAVE 40 MEMBERS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING PART TIME PERSONNEL

[00:20:01]

THEN OUR PRESENT LOCATION. WE HAVE 5000FT■!S WITH 35 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND FIVE PART TIME PLUS SID HAS AN ADDITIONAL 12,000FT■!S OVER BEHIND BELLA. SOME OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN WITH THE NEW BUILDING IS OUR TRAINING ROOM. WE HAVE A VERY SMALL TRAINING ROOM. WE CAN FIT LIKE 12 PEOPLE IN IT. WE NEED A PLACE WHERE WE CAN DO DEFENSIVE TACTICS, HOLD A LARGER DEPARTMENT, MEETINGS, THINGS LIKE THAT. STORAGE. WE HAVE ONE ROOM OF 70FT■!S THAT HOLDS ALL E EQUIPMENT THAT WE NEED, PLUS THE STORAGE FACILITY THAT WE'RE RENTING. WE HAVE NO MEETING SPACE OTHER THAN THE TRAINING ROOM, WHICH SOMETIMES IS UTILIZED BY THE PUBLIC, SOMETIMES UTILIZED BY TOWN STAFF. OTHER THAN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. OUR PROPERTY ROOM IS SMALLER, IT'S ALMOST AT CAPACITY. AND THE PARKING ISSUE, OF COURSE, WE HAVE MORE BUSINESSES OPENING UP, SO IT DEPLETES OUR PARKING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL. AND AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO HAVE CAPTAIN COLEMAN COME UP AND HE'S GOING TO GO OVER THE SUPPORT DIVISION. CHIEF. WELL, GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL CITIZENS. THANK YOU ALL FOR FOR JOINING US ON THIS. SO SUPPORT DIVISION, I KNOW THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED WHAT IS IT. LET ME MAKE SURE I GO THE RIGHT WAY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DRIVING THESE THINGS. THIS LOOKS LIKE CAPTAIN THORNTON'S. SHOULD HE BE FIRST? I THINK I THINK I'LL JUMP UP THERE. OKAY.

WE'LL SWAP. SWITCH OUT. SWITCH OUT. AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCILORS. SO NOW I'M HERE WITH YOU. I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF AND QUICK ON THIS. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT ON THE AGENDA, SO SOME OF THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES THAT WE LOOK AT IN THE OPERATIONS SECTIONS ARE HIGHLIGHTED HERE FOR POLICE INVOLVEMENT. WE'VE DONE OVER 10,000 CLOSE PATROLS, MEANING TARGETED AREAS, WHETHER THEY'RE NEIGHBORHOODS OR VACATION WATCHES. WE'VE DONE OVER 30 COMMUNITY EVENTS. THAT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM BICYCLE SAFETY RALLIES TO GOLF CART SAFETY RALLIES. WE'VE HAD FIVE CPA CLASSES FROM INCEPTION WITH OVER 53 GRADUATES, AND THIS YEAR WE'VE HAD OVER 5000 POLICE TRAINING HOURS COMBINED. SOME OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COORDINATION THAT WE'VE DONE THIS YEAR, PLANNING MORE ACTIVE THREAT COURSES WITH THE ESD, COORDINATING LOCKDOWN DRILLS WITH THE AREA SCHOOLS AND BECOMING BETTER MEMBERS OF THE ISD. IN NORTHEAST ISD SAFETY TEAMS. WE COORDINATE WITH THEM QUITE A BIT. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, SOME OF OUR RESPONSE TIMES THIS YEAR, PRIORITY ONE CALLS, WHICH ARE LIGHTS AND SIRENS, ANYTHING FROM MAJOR ACCIDENTS WITH INJURIES TO IN-PROGRESS CALLS.

THE PRIORITY ONE CALLS WERE SIX MINUTES AND 41 SECONDS TO GET TO A CALL. PRIORITY TWO IS SIX MINUTES AND 48 SECONDS, AND PRIORITY THREE, WHICH IS ROUTINE CALLS OR EIGHT MINUTES AND SIX SECONDS. WE'RE ON THE WAY. ALL RIGHT. ANOTHER AREA OF ANALYSIS IS THAT WE LOOK AT

[00:25:01]

ANOTHER AREAS USE OF FORCE. WE IN USE OF FORCE. WE'VE HAD THREE USES OF FORCE THE ENTIRE YEAR. TWO WERE ON A DISTURBANCE CALL. THE OTHER WAS ON A TRAFFIC STOP. OF THOSE THREE, WE HAD ONE FIREARM POINTED AT AN INDIVIDUAL FOR COMPLIANCE, ONE TASER DEPLOYMENT FOR COMPLIANCE, AND ONE PHYSICAL FORCE FOR COMPLIANCE. THE LAST IN THIS CATEGORY IS ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. OVER THE YEAR, WE'VE HAD A TOTAL OF THREE POLICE ACCIDENTS. THEY WERE ALL MINOR ACCIDENTS WITH OUR POLICE VEHICLES AND FOUR OFFICER INJURIES, THREE OF THEM JUST BEING MINOR SPRAINS AND MUSCLE PULLS AND THE LAST ONE WITH THE SUSPECT SPITTING ON ONE OF OUR OFFICERS. THESE ARE SOME OF THE TYPES OF CALLS THAT WE GO TO, WHETHER IT'S SELF-INITIATED OR DISPATCHED ALARMS, SUSPICIOUS VEHICLES, THEFTS, CLOSE PATROLS, ANIMAL COMPLAINTS, NOISE COMPLAINTS, TRAFFIC CRASHES OR DISTURBANCE. SO ACROSS THE BOARD, I'LL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON THESE ITEMS. SO OVER THE ENTIRE YEAR, THANKS TO YOU GUYS ADDING MORE TRAFFIC UNITS, WE'VE HAD 12,526 TRAFFIC STOPS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. OF THOSE TRAFFIC STOPS, IT RESULTED IN 5221 CITATIONS, AND 7274 WARNINGS WERE ISSUED. WE WERE DISPATCHED TO OVER 600 CALLS FOR ACCIDENTS, WITH 280 CRASH REPORTS ACTUALLY ISSUED, MEANING THE. AMOUNT OF DAMAGE WAS OVER $1,000 FOR A CRASH REPORT TO BE ISSUED. THE NEXT WAS CALLS FOR SERVICE. THIS WAS NOT SELF-INITIATED CALL. THIS WAS 911 DISPATCH CALLS FOR SERVICE. SO WE HAD 5643 PEOPLE CALL 911 REQUESTED ARMS. THE NEXT WE HAD 728 ACTIVE CASES OPENED, AND THEN WE HAD 284 ARRESTS OVER THE YEAR. OUR TOP THREE CATEGORIES AND OFFENSES WERE THEFT BEING THE NUMBER ONE ASSAULTS AND DWI BEING THE THIRD. AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS COMBINED, INCLUDING DISPATCH CALLS, TRAFFIC STOPS AND CLOSE PATROLS. OUR DISPATCH TOOK 24,633 CALLS JUST FOR US. SO THAT'S QUITE A BIT. AND THE NEXT ONES, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME COMPARISONS ON THOSE YEARS OVER YEARS. SO COMPARISONS FOR DATA HERE AS FAR AS CALLS FOR SERVICE. AND AGAIN THIS IS ALL COMBINED INCLUDING SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY. WE HAD ARGYLE WHICH IS OUR NEIGHBOR. THEY HAD A TOTAL OF 10,253 JUSTIN, 9928 TROPHY CLUB 13 078. AND WE'RE AT 24,633. PRIORITY CALLS. AGAIN, THOSE ARE LIGHTS AND SIRENS, EMERGENCY CALLS IN PROGRESS AND OR ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES. ARGYLE HAD 31. JUSTIN HAD 16, TROPHY CLUB 23 AND US WITH 54. THIS IS AN ALL CALLS COMPARISON FROM 2021. I HAD TO GO BACK AND GET SOME DATA SINCE WE'RE IN A NEW DISPATCH SYSTEM. SOME OF THESE WERE COVID ERROR YEARS, BUTEASED JUST IN THE LASR ALONE BECAUSE OF THE NEW POSITIONS ADDED. WE WENT FROM 2024 AT 20,699 TO 2025 AT 24, 633. AND AGAIN BACK TO DISPATCH CALLS. THOSE HAVEN'T INCREASED A WHOLE LOT, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE NUMBERS ARE SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY HAS GREATLY INCREASED. AND THEN I DID A COMPARISON ON TRAFFIC STOPS FROM 2024 AT 6580 TO 2025 AT 12,526. SO HUGE NUMBER DIFFERENCE. NOW IT WAS CAPTAIN COLEMAN'S TURN. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? THANK YOU. THAT'S A LOT OF THAT'S 100 SOME CALLS A DAY ROUGHLY. YEP. IS THAT IS IT BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE COVERAGE WITH THE MORE THE MORE OFFICERS AS WELL AS THE TRAFFIC GUYS.

THEY DO MOST OF THE SELF-INITIATED ACTIVITY ON TRAFFIC STOPS. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A BIG INCREASE IN THOSE NUMBERS, THE INCREASE IN THE SELF-INITIATED STOPS. THAT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE. SO THANK YOU. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU KEVIN. APPRECIATE YOU.

WELL HELLO AGAIN. SO AS I STARTED TO SAY LET'S WHAT EXACTLY IS OUR SUPPORT DIVISION.

IT STARTS OUT WITH OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. AS YOU HEARD THE NUMBERS THAT CAPTAIN THORNTON GAVE YOU, THOSE ARRESTS AND CALLS HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED UP ON. SO WE'LL START WITH THEM. YOU HAVE A SERGEANT AND THREE DETECTIVES. CURRENTLY, SERGEANT ARNOLD IS OUR

[00:30:04]

SAVING SAVING OUR CITIZENS MONEY. AND THEN OUR NEXT POSITION WOULD BE THE RECORDS CLERK. VERY IMPORTANT AS SHE IS THE FACE THAT OUR CITIZENS SEE WHEN THEY ENTER OUR BUILDING, AS WELL AS CALL THE FRONT DESK. SHE ACTS AS KIND OF A QUARTERBACK IN TERMS OF DETERMINING WHAT ARE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN, ARE AND WHERE TO BEST NAVIGATE THEM TO GO TO, AS YOU KNOW, PUBLIC RECORDS ARE VERY IMPORTANT, AND WE HAVE A VERY TIGHT WINDOW THAT WE NEED TO COMPLY WITH THOSE. SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT STAYS ON TOP OF THAT. AND THEN OF COURSE, OUR NEXT AREA THAT WE COVER IS OUR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS, WHICH IN THE FUTURE IS, AS CHIEF CRAWFORD MENTIONED, WE'LL BE GETTING OUR SROS. THEY WOULD BE UNDER THIS POSITION HERE, WHICH WOULD BE OUR SCHOOL LIAISON. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE SUPPORT CAPTAIN IS TASKED WITH DOING IS MEETING WITH OUR OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BOTH OUR ARGYLE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WELL AS NORTHWEST, COORDINATING OUR TRAINING, COORDINATING OUR LOCKDOWN DRILLS, COORDINATING IN THE CASE OF JOHNNY DANIEL, OUR THREE CROSSING GUARDS THERE, AS WELL AS LANCE THOMPSON, WHO HAS TWO CROSSING GUARDS CURRENTLY.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, ONCE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COMES, WE'LL BE EXPANDING THOSE DUTIES.

BASICALLY, THAT'S THAT'S SUPPORT DIVISION AND THAT'S WHAT THAT DOES. SO WHAT CASES DO WE COMMONLY INVESTIGATE IN OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION DRUG POSSESSION. THAT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM A TRAFFIC STOP WHERE OFFICERS FIND SOMEONE THAT HAS DRUGS ON THEM. IT COULD BE FROM INVESTIGATING A DIFFERENT OFFENSE. YOU MIGHT THEY MIGHT BE RESPONDING TO A CALL FOR SERVICE AT SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND FIND DRUGS THERE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, I COUPLE THAT WITH OUR DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED, WHICH OUR OFFICERS HAVE BEEN VERY ADEPT AT, AT FINDING AND AND AND TESTING AND ARRESTING THOSE INDIVIDUALS. ONCE THAT IS TAKEN PLACE, THAT EVIDENCE AS WELL AS THE DRUG EVIDENCE HAS TO BE SENT OFF TO A LAB TO TEST, WELL, SOMEONE. THAT'S WHERE OUR JOEY GOES AND GETS THOSE THOSE DRUGS DROPS THEM OFF. AND THEN ONCE THEY'VE BEEN TESTED, HE WILL PICK THEM BACK UP AND THEN THAT WILL GET THEM READY FOR THE CASE THAT THE DETECTIVES WILL INVESTIGATE AND PUT FORWARD TO THE D.A. NEXT IS OUR IDENTITY THEFT. THOSE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF OF OFFENSES HERE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO INVESTIGATE THOSE BECAUSE OF THE CYBER ASPECT OF THEM. IT COULD BE ANYWHERE IN

[00:35:02]

FOR EXAMPLE, IN SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES LEFT UNLOCKED THAT WAS CAUSING A HIGH NUMBER OF OFFENSES. SO THAT CAN THAT CAN CAUSE THAT TREND. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE, OBVIOUSLY, IS FOR THE LESSER NUMBERS, SO THAT OUR DETECTIVES CAN CONCENTRATE MORE ON THOSE OFFENSES BECAUSE THEY HAVE LESS THAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

AND THE QUICKER THAT YOU CAN GET ON THOSE LEADS, THE MORE YOU CAN IDENTIFY THEM, IDENTIFY THE SOURCES WITH THEM AND GET TO THEM BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR. YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S A SHOW OUT CALLED THE FIRST 48, FOR EXAMPLE, AND THEY'RE MOSTLY ON VIOLENT CRIME. WELL, THERE'S SOME TRUTH IN THAT. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU CAN GET ON THOSE LEADS QUICKLY, THEN YOU CAN DEVELOP MORE LEADS AND YOU CAN USUALLY GET THE PERPETRATORS FROM THERE. SO THE CASELOAD IS THE BLUE ON THE BLUE LINES ON THE GRAPH. AND AGAIN LIKE YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND OF TRENDING DOWN. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON TO THEM IN TERMS OF WE DON'T REALLY CONTROL THAT. WE ONLY CONTROL THE OUTCOME. THE OUTCOME IS THE NEXT PORTION OR THE ORANGE GRAPH PART OF THE GRAPH, THE ORANGE BAR. THAT'S THE CLEARANCE RATE. AND THE CLEARANCE RATE FOR FOR NORTHLAKE, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S A PERCENTAGE. AND FROM OCTOBER TO SEPTEMBER IT'S BEEN UP AND DOWN THE AVERAGE FOR THE NORTHLAKE POLICE DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW OVERALL IS 64%. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THIS WITH AN ADDENDUM. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 50%, BUT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU IS FOR VIOLENT CRIME. AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE VIOLENT CRIME IS IS MORE STANDARDIZED. A LOT OF AGENCIES REPORT THOSE THE SAME WAY. BUT WHEN YOU START REPORTING NONVIOLENT CRIME AND PROPERTY CRIMES, THEY MAY COMBINE SOME THINGS. THEY MAY COMBINE, FOR EXAMPLE, BURGLARIES AND THEFTS. ANOTHER DEPARTMENT MAY MAY REPORT THOSE SEPARATELY. SO SOMETIMES THOSE NUMBERS DON'T ALWAYS ADD UP. OR SHOULD I SAY ADD MATCH UP VERY WELL, BUT THAT THE NUMBERS ARE ANYWHERE FROM 53 TO 55% FOR FOR AGENCIES NATIONWIDE. SO NORTHLAKE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING DOING A VERY GOOD JOB OF MAINTAINING THAT, THAT CLEARANCE RATE. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CLEARANCE TYPES. CLEARANCE TYPES ARE WHERE WHEN YOU GET TO AGAIN THIS PREVIOUS SLIDE SHOWED THAT THERE WERE CLEARANCES. THIS IS HOW THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY END UP BEING CLEARED. WE'LL TAKE THE BIGGEST NUMBER FIRST. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE YOUR 188 KIND OF A TEAL COLORED SLIDE. THAT IS WHERE CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE FILED WITH THE DA'S OFFICE OKAY. THERE'S 188 OF THOSE. YOUR NEXT LARGEST NUMBER IS KIND OF THE ORANGE NUMBER WHICH IS YOUR INACTIVE.

NOW THE INACTIVE MEANS THAT THAT THE DETECTIVE INVESTIGATING HAS RUN OUT OF LEADS. AND SO THEY WILL PUT THAT IN THE INACTIVE CATEGORY UNTIL MORE LEADS ARE DEVELOPED.

[00:40:05]

MEANING WHEN THE INVESTIGATION WHEN OUR DETECTIVES INVESTIGATED IT, THAT PARTICULAR OFFENSE WAS FOUND THAT DID NOT OCCUR OR IT DIDN'T MEET THE ELEMENTS OF THE OFFENSE OF SOMETHING, THAT WOULD BE THAT THAT CRIME, OR IT COULD MEAN THAT IT DIDN'T OCCUR IN THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE OR IN OUR ANY OF OUR, OUR ANY OF OUR JURISDICTIONS. AND IN THAT RESPECT, THEN IT WOULD BE REFERRED TO WHATEVER AGENCY WOULD BE INVESTIGATING THAT.

AND THEN OUR FOURTH CATEGORY, WHICH IS OUR GREEN ONE, THAT'S THERE'S 49 OF THOSE, THAT'S AN THAT'S CLEARED BY EXCEPTION. THIS ONE IS PROBABLY THE MOST I WON'T SAY COMPLICATED, BUT IT DOES HAVE A LOT OF OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO IT THAT CAUSE IT TO GO INTO THIS CATEGORY. WE HAD, FOR EXAMPLE, AN OFFENSE WHERE WE FILED ON A PERSON AND THAT PERSON CHOSE TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIFE. THAT WOULD BE GOING TO THE EXCEPTION CATEGORY. YOU WOULD CLEAR UP BY EXCEPTION BECAUSE YOU'RE NO LONGER GOING TO PROSECUTE THAT PERSON. YOU HAVE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE VICTIMS REFUSE TO COOPERATE, AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY TOUGH TO MAKE A CASE. AND FOR THE D.A. TO GO FORWARD WITH CASES WHEN PEOPLE AREN'T COOPERATING, YOU MAY HAVE A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE IT OCCURRED IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION. FOR EXAMPLE, THE EXAMPLE YOU HAD THAT CAPTAIN THORNTON GAVE WITH THE BURGLARY SUSPECTS THAT CAME HERE TO NORTH LAKE AND WRECKED OUT. WE HAVE CHARGES ON THEM, BUT THE INITIAL CHARGE OCCURRED IN ANOTHER TOWN, IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION. NOW, IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE, WE CAN STILL GO FORWARD WITH OUR CHARGES, BUT THERE'S AN OPTION THERE FOR THAT TO BE CLEARED BY EXCEPTION. IF THE D.A. DECIDES JUST TO TRY THE CHARGES FROM THE OTHER CITY, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU HAVE A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE YOU HAVE AN OFFENSE THAT'S GOT STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, YOU ARE OUT OF YOU REACH THAT STATUTE OF LIMITATION, THEN THAT ONE YOU WOULD NOT BE YOU WOULD CLEAR THAT BY EXCEPTION. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WOULD BE THAT THE PROSECUTOR OF WHATEVER AGENCY IS DOING THE PROSECUTION HAS DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE THAT AND NOT NOT TO PROSECUTE. SO THOSE ARE THOSE CATEGORIES. THAT IS ALL OF THOSE CLEARANCES.

AND HOPEFULLY THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER KIND OF SOME OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDES. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME ON THE SUPPORT SIDE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE FROM ALL THREE OF YOU, IT WAS A MUCH BETTER PRESENTATION THAN A CHART OF LISTED OFFENSES AND, YOU KNOW, REPORTS LIKE THAT. SO IT WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING. AND THE UPTICK IN THE CASELOAD IS A LITTLE CONCERNING. AND THAT'S WHY WE KEEP FUNDING YOU GUYS AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO GET EVERY OFFICER. YOU GUYS NEED TO HAVE FULL COVERAGE IN NORTH LAKE COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS? YEP. YOU'VE WORKED IN LARGE CITY I THINK. ACTUALLY I KNOW, BUT DO YOU SEE ANY EXCEPTIONS TO HOW THINGS HAPPEN OUT HERE OR ANYTHING THAT WE OUGHT TO DO TO TRY TO PREVENT SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE? I THINK WE ARE TAKING VERY, VERY GOOD STEPS BY LEVERAGING OUR, OUR, OUR FLOCK CAMERAS. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR TRAFFIC, OUR OUR TRAFFIC. STOP, TRAFFIC STOPS, THE VISIBILITY ASPECT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT BEING A POLICE OFFICER IS THAT WE ALL TALK TO EACH OTHER. ALL OF OUR AGENCIES TALK TO EACH OTHER. SAME WITH THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT. AND NORTH LAKE HAS A REPUTATION BECAUSE THE FACT THAT WE ARE PROACTIVE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND IN THE OTHER PLACES THAT I'VE WORKED, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE SEEN US ALL TRY TO DO IN OUR CITIES.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT I AM I AM VERY, VERY FORTUNATE TO BE HERE AND TO SEE HOW WE'RE STAYING AHEAD OF IT AND OUR HIRING, AND ESPECIALLY IN OUR TECHNOLOGY. SO I THINK, IN ALL HONESTY, IN MY TIME OF BEING A POLICE OFFICER, I THINK WE'RE BEING AS PROACTIVE AS WE CAN AND STILL MAINTAIN OUR FINANCIAL, YOU KNOW, STEWARDSHIP TO OUR CITIZENS.

THANKS. I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU. WE ALL SLEEP VERY WELL AT NIGHT KNOWING YOU'RE OUT THERE AND WE APPRECIATE IT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE EFFORTS. YOU'RE WELCOME. IT'S A TEAM EFFORT. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO SAY. BASICALLY THE SAME THING. I'M SO PROUD OF OUR POLICE LEADERSHIP AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THAT WHEN I GET QUESTIONS OUT AND ABOUT, IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE AND TRUST IN HOW YOU GUYS ARE RUNNING THINGS AND THE

[00:45:06]

[2.D. Briefing - Northlake Police Association ]

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RECENT USES OF FORCE, WHERE THEY'RE OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS ON LIGHT DUTY, WE'VE PROVIDED DINNER TO THEIR FAMILIES AS A THANK YOU FOR WHAT THEY DO. I KNOW WITH MY OWN ON THE JOB INJURY BACK IN 2022, I WAS OUT OF WORK FOR FIVE MONTHS AND I OWE EVERYTHING TO THE CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION THEY WERE ABLE TO RAISE. I THINK IT WAS LIKE $10,000 IN A WEEKEND. AND BECAUSE I WAS ON WORKER'S COMP AND NOT GETTING MY FULL PAY, THEY WERE ABLE TO KEEP ME AFLOAT. AND I'M I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL TO THEM. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE THAT TYPE OF A CUSHION TO OUR MEMBERS IN CASE SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENS TO THEM. SO IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO SEND MONEY OR GIVE CONDOLENCES IN THE FORM OF FLOWERS OR FOOD DONATION IN THE EVENT OF A FALLEN POLICE OFFICER OR FALLEN FIREFIGHTER. THERE ARE THREE CHARITIES THAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH US ON THE WEBSITE. THE CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN OF NORTH TEXAS. THEY PROVIDE FORENSIC INTERVIEW SERVICES FOR FOR NORTH LAKE AND THEN COUNSELING TO THE FAMILIES AFTERWARDS. WE PARTNER WITH DENTON AND LEWISVILLE AT THE KC LOCATIONS THERE. IN ADDITION TO THEM, DENTON COUNTY FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY. THEY SEND OUT VICTIMS ADVOCATES. IF WE HAVE A SEXUAL ASSAULT OR IF WE HAVE INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE, THAT IS JUST SIMPLY A PERSON THAT ACCOMPANIES THE VICTIM WHILE THEY'RE SPEAKING WITH THE POLICE TO TO HELP THEM BE MORE AT EASE IN THAT TIME THAT THEY NEED THAT. AND THEN LASTLY, WITH THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS.

AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT HERE TONIGHT FOR THE PURPOSE OF OF REQUESTING A DONATION FOR THE ASSOCIATION. PART OF OUR MISSION AS AN ASSOCIATION IS TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH THE PUBLIC AND WITH THE COUNCIL. WE JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WEBSITE, AND ALSO THAT THE MAILER WILL BE ARRIVING THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

IT'S NOT GUARANTEED THAT IT'S GOING TO GO TO EVERYONE'S HOUSE. THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF A PROPRIETARY FORMULA THAT THEY THEY DECIDE WHERE THE MAILERS GO, BUT IT WILL HAVE THE WORDS NORTH LAKE AND POLICE ON IT. SO WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER TONIGHT, OR ANY OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS ASK YOU ANY QUESTIONS. ALSO, YOU YOU ALL WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE THE LETTER THAT'S GOING TO GO OUT BY THE END OF BUSINESS TOMORROW VIA EMAIL. YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW YOU ALREADY ANSWERED OUR FAVORITE QUESTION BECAUSE YOU TOLD US WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT WE DON'T SOUND DOWN WHEN PEOPLE ASK US. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. I'VE LOVED SEEING YOUR ASSOCIATION GROW FROM THE START. ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WAS IT A YEAR AND A HALF? YES. AND IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU GUYS SUPPORTING YOUR OWN AND THE COLLABORATION, THE CPA HELPING YOU GUYS PREVIOUSLY.

AND I, I'M SURE THAT COLLABORATION IS GOING TO CONTINUE, BUT I'M GLAD YOU GUYS HAVE HAVE A WAY OF HELPING PROTECT YOUR OWN AS WELL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH US. SO WE DON'T YOU KNOW, WHEN THAT DOES COME OUT WITH THE WORD NORTH LAKE ON IT. WE KNOW WHAT TO DIDN'T WANT YOU TO BE BLINDSIDED. YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD I MEAN THERE'S THERE WON'T BE ANY TOWN TO BE CLEAR. THERE WON'T BE ANY TOWN LOGOS

[00:50:05]

[2.E. Briefing - Court of Record]

ALL RIGHT. I WAS GOING TO I WANT TO TALK TO Y'ALL SOME ABOUT COURT OF RECORD.

BASICALLY THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A COURT OF RECORD COURT AND A COURT OF RECORD IS THE APPEALS AND THE PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH RIGHT NOW. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO APPEAL A CASE OUT OF OUR COURT, BASICALLY ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS FILE AN APPEAL BOND AND THAT'S IT. AND IT GOES STRAIGHT UP TO THE COUNTY. THE ONLY WAY IT COMES BACK DOWN TO US IS IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP, AND THEN WE DO GET IT BACK. AND IT'S BASICALLY A BRAND NEW TRIAL AS WELL. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE MERITS HERE. IF WE GO TO COURT OF RECORD, THEN IT IS BASED ON THE COURTS AND WHAT'S DONE HERE.

THEY WILL HAVE TO FILE THEIR APPEAL BASED ON THE RECORD. THEY'LL HAVE TO GET A TRANSCRIPT OF THAT RECORD. IF I DO IT THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THEY ALSO HAVE TO ARGUE THE ACTUAL THAT THERE WAS A JUDICIAL ERROR THAT OCCURRED. IT CAN'T BE JUST THAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE DECISION OR WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. RIGHT NOW, MOSTLY WE HAVE COMMERCIAL DRIVERS THAT ACTUALLY APPEAL THEIR CASES OUT. THEY HAVE ATTORNEYS, THEY HIRE THEM, AND THEN THEY APPEAL THEM STRAIGHT TO THE COUNTY. AND WE NEVER SEE THEM HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLIDE, OUR TICKETS HAVE INCREASED. WE HAVEN'T. WE ARE PAST WHERE WE USED TO BE, BUT THEY'RE STILL PICKING UP PRETTY PRETTY DRASTICALLY TO ME. ANYWAY, WE CAN SEE A HUGE DIFFERENCE OVER THERE. OUR DOCKETS HAVE GOTTEN MUCH HEAVIER AND SO IN IN WITH THAT OUR APPEALS HAVE TO. SO THAT BASICALLY SINCE 2021, WE'VE HAD 664 PILLS. THAT BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO ABOUT $132,000 THAT WE ONLY KEEP ABOUT 60%. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 79,000 THAT WE'VE LOST TO THE COUNTY. ON APPEALS FOR NOT BEING COURT OF RECORD. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN THE PERFECT SPOT TO GO TO COURT OF RECORD, BECAUSE THE ONLY THING WE'RE LACKING ARE TWO THINGS WE'RE LACKING ARE THE RECORDING EQUIPMENT, WHICH LUCKILY, WE ALREADY HAVE IT HERE. WE JUST HAVE TO PAY 3000 A YEAR ANNUALLY TO GET THAT RECORDED. WE ALSO NEED AN ORDINANCE FROM THE COUNCIL SO THAT WE CAN BECOME COURT OF RECORD. WE WERE LUCKY. WE'VE ALREADY GOT A LICENSED ATTORNEY, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT RIGHT NOW. HE HAS TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE, WHICH IS WHAT WE NEEDED. THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS. SO WE'RE READY. I FEEL LIKE WE ALSO THESE ARE ALL THE SURROUNDING CITIES THAT ARE ACTUALLY ALREADY COURT OF RECORD. SO. AND RIGHT NOW SAME THING I JUST SAID BEFORE. WE ARE ALREADY THERE. WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN ALL THE THINGS IN PLACE. WE'VE BEEN PLANNING IT FOR A WHILE AND TRYING TO GET THINGS IN PLACE. AND ONCE WE GOT OUR JUDGE, THAT WAS OUR LAST PIECE REALLY THAT WE NEEDED. SO. I REMEMBER THIS BEING TALKED ABOUT WHEN I WAS A NEW RESIDENT HERE ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO AFTER I GOT HERE AROUND 2014, 2015. AND IT WAS ALWAYS THE TALK ABOUT WE NEED ALL THESE THINGS TO FALL INTO PLACE, AND THEY'RE THERE TODAY. AND BASED ON OUR POPULATION SIZE, IT'S REALLY PROBABLY IS THE RIGHT TIME TO DO THAT. UNLESS COUNCIL HAS ANY OBJECTION, I WOULD DIRECT STAFF TO BRING US A ORDINANCE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME.

BUT DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? I KNOW YOU, YOU, ROGER WERE HERE AND MIKE, YOU WERE HERE. YEAH. I'VE BEEN PUSHING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME. I'M GLAD TO SEE IT COME TO FRUITION. I DON'T KNOW IF WHO TO ASK THIS TO, BUT HOW MUCH? HOW MANY DOLLARS THAT WERE NOW ABOUT. WELL, YOU HAD 79,000 SINCE 2021, BUT THAT'S IN THE PAST. AND SO KIND OF EXTRAPOLATE I MEAN IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ON SOME OUT YEARS IT'LL RAMP UP. THAT'S THAT'S 80,000 OVER FOUR YEARS. SO MAYBE 20,000. BUT 2530, WE MAY BE GETTING UP TO 50,000 HERE IN A FEW YEARS. BUT AGAIN, ALL THIS ALL THE COSTS ARE SUNK NOW. AND SO AND THERE'S IT'S NOT A LOT BUT IT'S ENOUGH AND IT COVERS THE COST. AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE

[00:55:01]

BECAUSE THAT WAS ALWAYS THE THING BEFORE IS IT WAS GOING TO COST US MORE THAN WE WOULD SAVE.

AND WE'RE NOT AT THAT POINT ANYMORE. AT THIS POINT, IT'S ONLY GOING TO GO UP. I MEAN, WHAT I'M SAYING FOR THE 79,000 THAT'S BACK WHEN TICKETS WERE DOWN, LIKE ON THAT ONE SLIDE, WHEN YOU SAW TICKETS WERE DOWN DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME. I MEAN, I, I'VE NOT EVEN FEEL SAFE GIVING AN ESTIMATE ON EXACTLY HOW MUCH, BUT I KNOW IT'LL BE MORE THAN THAT. SO SUBSTANTIAL. WE'LL SAY SUBSTANTIAL. YEAH, I AGREE I THINK IT'S A DEFINITELY A GET OR DONE TIME. ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU GOT CLEAR, CONCISE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE ORDINANCE WRITTEN. SO IT'LL BE IT'LL BE THE NEXT MEETING. YES, SIR.

[3. PUBLIC INPUT]

IT'LL BE THAT MUCH BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO EXPECT. IT'S, I GUESS 60 MILLION OR MAYBE 30, BUT RIGHT, RIGHT NOW IT'S OKAY. SO PICK A NUMBER. I'LL TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST. THAT WAS BASED ON 6%, WHICH SEEMS PRETTY CLOSE NOWADAYS. PROBABLY MIGHT BE. MIGHT BE MORE THAN THAT. I KIND OF DOUBT IT'LL BE LESS, BUT IF YOU PAY IT OFF, WHEN DOES THAT EVER HAPPEN? OKAY, WELL, SPEAK YOUR PIECE ON ON THE. OKAY. I KNOW YOU SAID YOU DON'T LIKE IT, BUT. YEAH. YEAH, WELL, I'M JUST WONDERING. THERE'S A HUGE DISCREPANCY. YOU KNOW, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHAT THIS IS GOING TO COST DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR, YOU KNOW? AND MAYBE THE PROJECTS JUST WON'T HAPPEN. AND ONLY 6.9 MILLION OF PROJECTS WILL HAPPEN.

SO THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT. THE MAYOR, I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE PRESENTATION. IF YOU'RE NOT AVAILABLE STILL, THEN WE CAN EMAIL YOU THE SLIDES AFTERWARDS. THE I'M REALLY IT'S THE COURT OF RECORD THING. DO YOU KNOW THE THE 20 YOU KNOW THAT THAT 79,000 WAS SINCE 2021. THAT'S WHAT 20 GRAND A YEAR. AND THAT WOULD BE ASSUMING THAT THAT ELIMINATES ALL APPEALS. IT'S NOT GOING TO YOU KNOW. AND IT IT JUST MAKES THINGS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT FOR A PERSON IF THAT'S GETTING MESSED WITH TO ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS, YOU KNOW, GOING TO HAVE TO START GOING TO HAVE TO PAY, YOU KNOW, IF I IF I GET A TICKET THAT IS NOT LEGITIMATE AND I WANT TO APPEAL IT, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A TRANSCRIPT TO APPEAL IT.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT EVEN LEGAL, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND THAT'S JUST THAT'S NOT RIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN IN COURT IN THIS TOWN AND I KNOW IT'S NOT THE SAME JUDGE, BUT I HAD A JUDGE TELL ME WHEN THEY CHARGED ME WITH A FAKE LAW COMPLETELY MADE UP, I SHOWED IT TO HIM AND ASKED FOR THEM TO DISMISS IT, AND HE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID, SO WHAT? HE DIDN'T CARE THAT THEY WERE CHARGING ME WITH A FAKE. I'M NOT SAYING THE JUDGE IS GOING TO DO THAT, BUT THE PREVIOUS JUDGE THAT EVERYBODY LOVED AND WAS HERE FOR DECADES OR LONG TIME, I DON'T KNOW, WAS DOING THAT ONE GUY UP ON TIME HERE. YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. ANYONE ELSE THIS EVENING, MISS HARTMAN? HI, I'M MARINA HARTMAN. I WANT TO TELL

[01:00:10]

[4. CONSENT ITEMS]

I DON'T LIKE IT. IT'S OUR ONLY OPTION. THANK YOU. AND MOTION TO PASS THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PROPOSED. I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND FOR MR. GANS? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUS. AND AT THIS TIME IT IS 6:33 P.M. I WILL RECESS THE REGULAR MEETING AND CONVENE A MEETING FOR A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT NUMBER TWO BOARD TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. FIRST WILL BE PUBLIC INPUT FOR THE TOURS. NUMBER TWO AT 633. ANYONE? SEEING NONE? MOVING ON

[5.C. Consider approval of an amendment to the Final Project and Financing Plan (the "Plan") for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Two, Town of Northlake, Texas (the "Zone"); enlarging the boundaries of the zone; and recommending adoption of an ordinance by the Town Council to approve the same ]

IT EXPANDS THOSE ZONE BOUNDARIES TO INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL APPROXIMATELY 156 ACRE PROPERTY, THAT IS PLANNED TO BE DEVELOPED BY PROVIDENT INDUSTRIAL. IT ALSO SETS THE DURATION OF THIS PORTION OF THE TOURS FOR A MAXIMUM OF 30 YEARS, AND ADDS NEW PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT ARE TIED TO THIS SPECIFIC 156 ACRE PROPERTY. THOSE PROJECTS INCLUDE WATER, SEWER, DRAINAGE AND ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE ESTIMATED COST OF THOSE IS APPROXIMATELY $21.4 MILLION. SO, NATHAN, WHAT HAPPENS IF NOT EVERYTHING IS REIMBURSED AT 30 YEARS? YEAH, THE TOURS ONLY PAYS WHATEVER IT GETS. SO WE'RE ONLY PAY WHAT IT PRODUCES. AND IF THEY'RE STILL OUTSTANDING REIMBURSEMENTS AFTER 30 YEARS, THEY THEY WILL NOT BE MADE.

THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY BE ADDED. THAT TRACT ONE, TWO AND THREE IS THE ORIGINAL TOURS DISTRICT. THESE ARE THREE DIFFERENT LEGAL DESCRIPTION

[01:05:05]

THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WHICH WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE TOWN. NO TOURS, BONDS OR TOWN BACK.

PUBLIC DEBT IS IS PLANNED WITH THIS. THE ESTIMATED TAXABLE VALUE OF THE ADDED PROPERTY AFTER THESE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IS ANTICIPATED TO BE $150 MILLION BY TAX YEAR 29, AND THEN BY THE END OF THE TOUR IS EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT $250 MILLION. SO OVER THE LIFE OF THE TERM, IT'S ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL GENERATE APPROXIMATELY $7.6 MILLION TOWARDS THOSE OVERALL, 21 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS OF PROJECT COSTS. SO THE TOURS IS JUST FUNDING, PAYING FOR PART OF THAT. SO TONIGHT IS THE TOURS BOARD. YOU CAN ACT ON THIS AMENDED PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN. AND THEN IF YOU PROVE IT, YOU'LL GET TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN AS TOWN COUNCIL. AND WHENEVER YOU MEET AS TOWN COUNCIL. AND CONSIDER THIS, YOU'LL NEED TO TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. NATHAN. ALL RIGHT. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONSIDER

[5.C. VOTE]

[5.D. Consider approval of an agreement between the Town of Northlake, Texas, and Northlake Fresh Water Supply District No. 1 of Denton County, to manage and implement the amended plan for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Two, Town of Northlake, Texas ]

NATHAN. ALL RIGHT. SO YEAH, THIS IS AN AGREEMENT TO MANAGE THIS ADDED PROPERTY FOR THE TOURS, AND IT'S FOR THAT FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICT TO MANAGE THE TOURIST PROJECTS, FINANCING AND REIMBURSEMENTS WITH THE PROPERTY, BECAUSE IT'S THAT FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICT AND THE TOURS FUNDS REALLY WORKING TOGETHER TO FUND THESE, THIS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. THE TOURS REVENUES FROM THE PROPERTY WILL GO TOWARDS THE FOLLOWING PRIORITIES. FIRST, THE DISTRICT BOND DEBT, THE FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICT AND THEN TO PROJECT REIMBURSEMENTS.

AND THEN ANY REMAINDER WOULD GO TO THE TOWN. THE THE DUTIES OF THE THE DISTRICT WOULD INCLUDE DESIGN, BUILDING AND SUPERVISING OF THESE PROJECTS WOULD ENTER INTO REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH DEVELOPERS AND ISSUE REVENUE BONDS TO BE PAID WITH TOURIST FUNDS. WHATEVER FUNDS LIMITED TO THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. AND THEN AND OF COURSE, MAINTAIN RECORDS, AUDITS AND BUDGETS. SO THE TOWN'S DUTIES WOULD BE TO COLLECT AND REMIT THE TOURIST REVENUES AND THE THE TOWN'S THE TOWN WOULD HAVE A LIMITED LIABILITY BECAUSE IT'S ONLY WE'RE ONLY OBLIGATED TO TRANSFER WHAT'S COLLECTED IN THAT TOURIST INCREMENT AND THEN CONTINUE THOSE PAYMENTS UNTIL ALL BONDS ARE REPAID OR THE TOURS EXPIRES. THOSE FUNDS AND

[01:10:01]

AND AND AGAIN THIS ONE'S ANOTHER TWO. STEP ONE YOU'LL GET TO ACT ON IT NOW AS A TOURIST BOARD AND THEN AGAIN AS TOWN COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, WE'VE BEEN PRESENTED

[5.D. VOTE]

SO DO I HAVE ANY MOTIONS. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE BY MAYOR PRO TEM LORENZ. SECOND AND A SECOND FOR MISS HOLMES. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY AND WITH NO FURTHER ITEMS OR TOURS. NUMBER TWO BOARD MEETING. WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AND RECONVENE TO

[6.A. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, amending the Final Project and Financing Plan (the "Plan") for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Two, Town of Northlake, Texas (the "Zone"); enlarging the boundaries of the zone; providing a severability clause; and providing an effective date]

AND YOU'VE ESTABLISHED THAT NUMBER AS WHAT I BELIEVE IT'S PRESENTED AS 150,000,150 MILLION. NO, I'M SORRY. 150 IT WAS AFTER WITH THE WITH THE BUILDINGS. I'M SORRY, IT'S 67,000, I BELIEVE. OKAY. IT'S IN THE IT'S IN THE PLAN. GOT IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC HEARING? ALRIGHT. SEEING NONE. IT WILL. 6:43 P.M. WE'LL

[6.A. VOTE]

[6.B. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, providing for the annexation of approximately 155.783 acres of land generally located east of FM 156, contiguous to the current town limits of Northlake, Texas, at the southern extent of the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the Town. Case # ANX-25-003]

AND AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, YOU CALLED AND AUTHORIZED A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD AT THIS MEETING, AND ALL REQUIRED NOTICE HAS BEEN PROVIDED. SO YOU'LL NEED TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ACT ON THIS ANNEXATION ORDINANCE. AND THEN THE NEXT STEP WILL BE ZONING THE NEXT ITEM HERE. THANK YOU NATHAN. IT IS 6:45 P.M. WE WILL CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER. IF WE HAVE ANYBODY ON THE ANNEXATION FOR THIS PROPERTY. LAST CHANCE.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AT 6:45 P.M. AND CONSIDER APPROVAL

[6.B. VOTE]

[6.C. Consider approval of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, amending Chapter 9A, "Unified Development Code," of the Code of Ordinances of the Town of Northlake, Texas, as amended, by changing the zoning classification of a 155.783-acre tract of land in the W. Garfield Survey, Abstract No. 448, in the Town of Northlake from "AG" Agricultural to "I-PD" Industrial Planned Development and revising the official zoning map in accordance therewith; providing for the adoption of development standards; providing for the adoption of a concept plan; providing a penalty for violation; providing for severability; providing that this ordinance is cumulative; providing a savings clause; providing for publication; and providing an effective date - Case # 25 PDA00003]

[01:15:10]

THAT'S RIGHT. TO TO DEVELOP IT. INDUSTRIAL ZONING CHANGES IS REQUIRED. AND THIS ALIGNS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED. IT ALSO ALIGNS WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN APPROVED AS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS TO ESTABLISH THE ZONING FOLLOWING ANNEXATION PER THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ALLOW FOR INDUSTRIAL ZONING STANDARDS, BUT ALSO HAVE A FEW MODIFICATIONS WHICH MATCH UP WITH ADJACENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS TO THE EAST, INCLUDING WHAT COVERS THE REST OF THAT TERMS, AND HILLWOOD'S INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO THIS JUST MATCHES IT UP, PUTS IT ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND WITHIN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THIS CONCEPT PLAN IS WITHIN THAT THEY'RE PLANNING TO BUILD ABOUT ONE POINT 5,000,000FT■!S F WAREHOUSE SPACE AND THREE BUILDINGS. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. HELD A PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN THERE WERE NO SPEAKERS THERE, NO WRITTEN RESPONSES. THEY RECOMMENDED THE ZONING CHANGE UNANIMOUSLY. AND NOW YOU CAN CONSIDER THE ZONING CHANGE AFTER YOU HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU. NATHAN. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. IT'S 6:47 P.M. WE'LL CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING.
