PRESENTATION OF THE NATIONAL NIGHT OWL PROCLAMATION. >> WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE EVERYONE OUT ON OCTOBER 4. I'M SORRY THE THIRD. EVERYWHERE WE ARE VERY ACTIVE IN THE PROGRAM AND EVERY YEAR WE GROW AND BECOME A COMMUNITY THAT BUILDS GREAT THINGS ABOUT THAT ORGANIZATION. WE BUILD INTO OUR SUPPORT MECHANISM IN COMMUNITIES THAT KNOW OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND EACH OTHER. THAT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY THAT WE ARE GETTING TO KNOW THE NEIGHBORS. IT'S A VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO REDUCE THE CRIME RATE IN ADDITION JUST KNOWING HER OPTIONS.

WE BOTH GET OUT AND DO A LOT OF ACTIVITIES. IT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW NOT ONLY THOSE OFFICERS BUT THE ADMINISTRATION. THE OFFICIALS COME OUT SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GET TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

THEY TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN CONTINUE WITH A LOW CRIME RATE. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY WE LOOK FORWARD TO.> WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE ANYBODY IN THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN TO PLUG-IN AND GET TOKNOW THEIR NEIGHBORS BETTER . FIGHTING CRIME STARTS WITH US.

IT'S MY HONOR TO PRESENT THIS PROCLAMATION TO THE PRESENT POLICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION SPONSORS A UNIQUE PROGRAM FROM OCTOBER 3, 2023 TITLED NATIONAL NIGHT OUT WHERE IS THE ANNUAL NATIONAL HIDEOUT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN FORCES IT WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND PROMOTE COOPERATIVE POLICE COMMUNITY CRIME PREVENTION EFFORTS AND WHEREAS IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN BE AWARE OF THE CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND THE IMPACT THAT PRECIPITATION CAN HELP IN REDUCING CRIME IN THE CITY. WHERE IS THE CRIME AND SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION OF LOCAL ANTI-CRIME EFFORTS STRENGTHENING NEIGHBORHOOD SPIRITS AND POLICE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH SENDING A MESSAGE TO CRIMINALS THAT NEIGHBORS ARE ORGANIZED AND FIGHTING BACK. THESE ARE IMPORTANT FEEDS OF THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT PROGRAM AND WHEREAS PARTICIPATION MAY BE AS SIMPLE AS TURNING ON THE FRONT PORCH LIGHT ARE PLANNING A NEIGHBORHOOD EVENT FOR OCTOBER 3 2023. THEREFORE I MAYOR OF THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN TEXAS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL DO HEREBY PROCLAIM ON OCTOBER 30, 2023 AS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2023 AND MIDLOTHIAN TEXAS AND I CALL UPON OUR CITIZENS TO SUPPORT

[00:05:02]

[APPLAUSE] >> OPENING ITEM IN 2023 ? 366 TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM

[2023-366]

QUICK SETTING MOST OF THE ITEMS FROM THE MEETING THAT WE ADDRESSED LAST COUNCIL MEETING

SO I DON'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR UPDATES.>> WE DO HAVE TWO NEW COMMISSIONERS.

DAN ALTMAN AND ROSS WEAVER. THE PND HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH STAFF AND THE CITY GROWTH. IF THEY EVER HAVE QUESTIONS IT IS ONGOING AND OF COURSE YOU

CAN CALL ME ANYTIME FOR INFORMATION ON THOSE MEETINGS. >> THOSE MEETINGS ARE LIVE

STREAMED AS WELL. >> I SERVE AS THE LIAISON TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

THEY HAVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS I HAD SOME SHIFTING WITH DAVID GOING INTO THE APPRAISAL. THEIR PROJECTS THE THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON WITH MAKING THE FIRST PAYMENT OR HAVE MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE FOUNDERS ROW AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON ANDERSON. THEY ARE WORKING ON A LATE GROW TRAIL IN THE REBRAND THAT WE SEEN. THE MOUNT ZION PROPERTY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE CLOSING ON THAT AND DISCUSS THAT IN OCTOBER.

THEY HAD THE STREET STREET GRANTS AND THE INCENTIVE FOR THE SECOND.

THEY HAVE SIX PROJECTS AND APPLICATIONS. ON THE PROMOTIONAL SIDE THEY HAVE THE MAYORS BACK TO SCHOOL BASH, 4 JULY FIREWORKS, HERITAGE DAYS THE WINE WALK THROUGH THE CHAMBER AND IN THE SUMMER AND AUTUMN BEATS THAT COMMENCE.

THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. >> THANK YOU TO MELISSA FOR

REPORTING. >> THAT IS STRAIGHT FROM ALYSSA SHE'S GREAT.

>> I STARTED AS ALIAISON TO THE DEVELOPMENT . WHAT'S MOST OF THE THINGS DEVELOPED COME TO THE COUNCIL VERY RAPIDLY SO THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITING TIMES ECONOMICALLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. I DO APPRECIATE THAT BOARD. THERE HAS BEEN TURNED OVER ON THE BOARD AS WELL ONE OF WHICH I'D LIKE TO MENTION IS GISELLE WHO SERVED FOR A LONG TIME.

HE RECENTLY MOVED TO BE CLOSER TO HIS CHILDREN SO WE WISH HIM WELL PUBLICLY AND THANK YOU.

>> I THINK EVERYBODY'S PRETTY UP-TO-DATE WITH THESE AGREEMENTS BUT I WILL SAY THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT THE AIRPORT AND WE DID ASSESS THAT. IT'S NOT AS EFFICBUT AS IT ORIGINALLY LOOKED. OTHER THAN THAT WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS LATER TONIGHT WHEMORE

AIRPORT STUFF.>> I AM THE UAB LIAISON. WE DO HAVE PRETTY MUCH HEARD MOST OF THE UPDATES FOR THE PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO SEEK FUNDING FOR DREDGING FOR THE LAKE. THAT IS THE PRIMARY CONCERNED GOING UP AS WELL AS SOME

[00:10:07]

[2023-367]

>> THANK YOU COUNSEL FOR THE UPDATES. >> MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 2023 ? 367. CITY COUNCIL ADDRESSES THE CITIZENS TO ADDRESS ANY CTHE CO ON ANY TOPIC NOT ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK SHOULD COMPLETE A CITIZENS PARTICIPATION FORM AND PRESENTED TO THE CITY SECRETARY PRIOR TO THE ITEBEING OPEN FO DISCUSSION. PLEASE COME AND I'M ON UP.

>> I AM LISA HEALY AND I LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. MY COMMENT IS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING. IT WAS REGARDING THE AIRPORT AND WANTING TO BRING IT UNDER CITY RULE. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT THE CITY WOULD WANT TO TAKE THAT ACTION AND HAVE A BUDGET AND PUT IMPLICATION.

WHEN IT WAS NOT EVER DISCUSSED. DURING THE PROJECT PLANNING. I'M FEELING VERY MUCH FROM A CITIZENS PERSPECTIVE THAT IT IS A MONEY GRAB. IN THE CITY TRYING TO BUILD OUR GOVERNMENT. CITY HAS ITS HANDS FULL FAT RIGHT NOW TRYING TO DEAL WITH ISSUES WE HAVE. YOU DON'T NEED TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO YOUR PLATE.

I WOULD ALSO PLEASE CONSIDER NOT SUSPENDING AIRPORT BOARD. IT SETS A VERY BAD PRECEDENT FOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES TO SUSPEND BOARDS AT THE CITY 11 OH.

THAT MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IF THE BE BOARD SUDDENLY IS DOING SOMETHING AND THE CITY DOESN'T LIKE IT. AND THERE IS A LOT MORE MONEY COMING WHO'S TO SAY YOU WON'T JUST DO A RESOLUTION AND GET RID OF THAT BOARD.

I REALLY WANT YOU TO THINK HARD ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THESE RESOLUTIONS AND WHEN YOU'RE DOING THINGS THAT ARE IMPACTING A BUDGET THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO PLACE.

WE ALREADY GO OVER OUR BUDGET EVERY YEAR. PLEASE, SLOW DOWN.

LET THE BOARD DO THEIR BUSINES . YOU DIDN'T STOP THE BASKETBALL LEAGUE WHEN THEY FORMED A COMMITTEE TO FIGURE OUT THEIR PATH FORWARD.THEY UPDATED THEIR RULES. BULLY ACTING AND CONDUCTING BUSINESS.

I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO DO IT HERE FOR THE AIRPORT. >> THANK YOU.

>> MY NAME IS LINDY BAILEY I LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOUR COMMUNITY. I AM RUNNING IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN MARCH. I HAVE OVER 20 YEARS OF CRIMINAL TRIAL EXPERIENCE.

I HAVE OVER 18 YEARS OF CRIMINAL TRIAL PROSECUTION EXPERIENCE AND 15 YEARS IN ELLIS COUNTY. . I BELIEVE THAT YOUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHOULD BE THERE, EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT. AS YOU KNOW THE COUNTY IS GROWING TREMENDOUSLY. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE MAINTAIN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE. RELIGION IS ABOUT THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES AS WELL.

THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE DONE EFFICIENTLY TO SAVE MONEY AND KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE.

I'VE BEEN IN THE COUNTY SINCE 2004. I APPRECIATE ANYBODY'S SUPPORT IN MARCH THAT I WAS THE GROUND JUST ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS PEOPLE HAVE AFTER THE MEETING.

[00:15:05]

>> PLEASURE TO MEET YOU MISS BAILEY. >> DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER

[CONSENT AGENDA]

SPEAKERS? >> MOVING ON TO CONSENT AGENDA.

THE MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA AGENDA ARE ROUTINE BY THE COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED IN ONE VOTE WITHOUT SIMPLE DISCUSSION. IF THERE IS ONSEPARATE ITEMS TO BE REMOVED THEY WILL BE DISCUSSED SEPARATELY. THIS COUNSEL WAS TO REMOVE ANY?

HEARING ON I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> MOVED TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND PLEASE VOTE. >> THE ITEM DOES PAST SEVEN AND ZERO.

[2023-375]

THE TOTAL PREMIUM AMOUNT IS $832,186 AND $0.82. >> FOR THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE CITY'S PROPERTY AND CASUALTY BY THE BROKER WE ARE PROPOSING TO LET THIS BE.

THIS PROVIDES BENEFIT FOR COVERAGE WITHIN THE CITY GOING FROM A $1 BILLION-$2 MILLION CIPHER COVERAGE AND A DEDUCTIBLE FOR MAXIMUM LOSS OF A LITTLE OVER $170,000.

TRAVELERS PROVIDED A SUBMISSION THAT WAS MOST COMPARABLE. THE CITY WOULD ALSO RECEIVE

RISK AND SUPPORT SPECIFICALLY GREATER FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES. >> ANYBODY SENT TO SPEAK ON

THIS? >> COUNSELED YOU HAVE A QUESTION?

HEARING ON ISLAND AND EMOTION. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> PLEASE VOTE. >> IT DOES PAST SEVEN AND ZERO.

[2023-376]

>> THIS IS TO MAINTAIN LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF THE BUSINESS PARK. THEY HAVE PUT IRRIGATION IN THOSE ROADS AND SO THE SIDES OF THE ROADS ARE BEING ADJUSTED WHICH WILL MAKE THE GRASS GO FASTER SO IT NEEDS ADDITIONAL MOWING. SOMETIMES THERE NEED TO BE MAINTENANCE FOR THE LANDSCAPIN

. >> DID ANYBODY SIGN UP FOR THIS CASE?

>> DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM STAFF? HEARING ON I WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION.> I MOVED. >> SECOND. >> PLEASE VOTE.

>> THE ITEM DOES PAST SEVEN AND ZERO. MOVING ON TO ITEM 2023 ? 377.

[2023-377]

ESTIMATES FOR THE UPDATE OF RIDGEVIEW PARK. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM WAS APPROVED ALREADY TO ALLOCATE FUNDING FROM AN CDC FOR $19,000 FOR US TO COME UP WITH A NEW CONCEPT PLAN FOR JC PARKER.

WE THEN PUT THAT ON HOLD DURING THE MASTER PLAN TO ALLOW US TO PULL EVERYTHING OUT.

DURING THAT TIME WE HAVE SEEN THE DOWNFALL OF RIDGEVIEW PARK. THE PLAYGROUND IS ALMOST IN DISREPAIR. WE CAN'T GET THE PARTS IT SOLD. EITHER WE GO ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SHUT THE PLAY GROUND DOWN AND SHUT THAT DOWN WHICH TAKES AWAY ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR

[00:20:05]

IT WOULD BE TO REDO RIDGEVIEW PARK. THIS AREA WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE PRESSURE ON COMMUNITY PARK.

THERE'S LAND ON THE PROPERTY THAT WE ARE NOT UTILIZING THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GREAT COMMUNITY PARK SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GO IN AND MOVE OUR VERDICT THAT I LOOK AT IDEAS OF WHAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE THAT PARK AND MAKE IT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CITIZENS TO USE.

>> WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS. COUNSEL DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?>> I HAVE A QUESTION. THE DESIGN IS SOMETHING FOR THE ENTIRE PARK.

>> THEY ARE JUST COMING UP WITH THE CONCEPT AND THEN WE WILL WORK ON ENGINEERING FROM THERE. ONCE WE REALLY IDENTIFY WHAT WE WANT AND THAT PARK THEN WE CAN GO OUT AND ENGINEER EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN IS DISCUSSED AND FROM THERE WE WILL MOVE FORWARD TO DECIDE IF WE HAVE PHASE 1 AND TWO. THIS IS NOT A COMMUNITY TYPE.

WE ARE NOT TALKING $19 MILLION ON THIS PROJECT. IT WILL BE A MUST SMALLER SCAL

. >> THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION. TO HAVE THE PARAMETERS OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TO STICK WITHIN A CERTAIN BUDGET WHAT KIND OF PARAMETERS DO THEY HAV ? DO THEY KEEP IT UNDER MILLION DOLLARS QUESTIONER.> WE ARE DISCUSSING AND KEEPING IT UNDER A CERTAIN BUDGET. WE ARE LOOKING AT AMENITIES.

THIS PROPERTY HAS 65 ACRES WITH 40 FEET OF TOPOGRAPHY THAT WE SPENT $1 MILLION ON.

THIS IS NOT THAT TYPE AND IT WILL NOT BE THAT INVASIVE WITH CHANGES TO THE LAND.

WE WERE LOOKING AT A TRAIL OUT THERE TO MAKE IT CONCRETE AND EXTENDED OVER TO THE CREEK TO GET PEOPLE IN THE SHADE. LET'S ADD A NEW PLAYGROUND AND A SMALL RESTROOM LIKE A TWO-PERSON RESTROOM THAT WE CAN UTILIZE THE PARKING LOT THAT WE NEED TO UPDATE TO MEET ORDINANCE IF WE ARE GOING TO REVIEW THAT AND UPDATE THE PAVILION.

THERE IS THOUGHT OF POSSIBLY A PICKLE BALL COURT OUT OF THERE. WE JUST WANT TO LOOK AT OUR OPPORTUNITIES AND FROM THERE WE WILL IDENTIFY WHAT WE CAN LEGITIMATELY DO.

I WILL SAY WITH THE BUDGET THEY ARE LOOKING TO ALLOCATE $1 MILLION TOWARDS PARKS AND WHERE USING THAT TOWARDS OUR SPECIAL EVENTS. THE OTHER PART IS ALLOCATED AND SETTING ASIDE FOR US TO UPDATE THE SPARK. I'M NOT SAYING WE WILL GET IT DONE IN ONE PHASE. WE JUST HAVE TO SEE WHAT WE COME UP WITH AND WHAT BEST

SUITS THE LANDSCAPE THERE. >> WE ARE NOT EVEN TALKING 10 MILLION.ERE NOT TALKING 8 MILLION. WE WILL KEEP THIS BECAUSE IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK ABSOLUTELY.

>> HOW FAST IS THE TURNAROUND TIME? >> IT JUST DEPENDS ON ONCE WE ACTUALLY GET INTO A CONTRACT ON ENGINEERING. THIS IS A SMALL PARK SO SIX MONTHS OF ENGINEERING IN THE CONSTRUCTION WITH THE WAY THAT IT IS.

>> THE CONCEPT IS WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT THREE MONTHS TO DO THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT COMES INTO PLAY AND HOW MANY TIMES WE ALTER THAT. IT WILL BE A QUICK TURNAROUND.

>> JUST TO CONFIRM FOR THE HISTORICAL NATURE OF THIS. THE REASON YOU'RE IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE OF THI . WAS THIS A BRAND-NEW REQUEST #.

>> FOR THIS AMOUNT KNOW THAT IT'S $20,000 WE CAME TO YOU AND IT WAS 10,000.

AND SO SINCE WE CAME TO YOU THE FIRST TIME WE JUST WANTED TO COME BACK AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS GOOD AND WE WERE LETTING EVERYONE KNOW UP FRONT. WE JUST WANTED TO SWITCH THE SAME AMOUNT OF FUNDING TO DO THE SAME CONCEPT JUST SWITCH PROPERTIES.

[00:25:07]

>> I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO TALK TO PARKS. >> WE HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH

THE PARKS BOARD AND EVERYONE WAS GOOD WITH THAT MOVE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A

MOTION. >> I JUST WANT TO DETERMINE. I'VE HAD SOME TALKS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN YOURSELF ABOUT FUNDING. I'M LOOKING TO GET INTO THOSE DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR THE PERCENTAGES THAT WE REFER TO. ARE THESE MONIES PART OF THAT PERCENTAGE OR IS THIS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THEY WILL START PROVIDING?

>> AT THIS POINT WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING IS UTILIZING THE FUNDING THAT THEY ARALREADY PUT INTO FY 24'S BUDGET. THAT IS THE MONEY THAT WE ARE UTILIZING TO START THIS PROJEC

. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR COUNSEL?

>> JUST TO CLARIFY THAT TERM CONCEPT. JUST FOR CLARITY SAKE, WHAT

EXACTLY IS THAT? >> WHEN WE COME IN TO DO A CONCEPT PLAN WE LOOK AT THE ACREAGE, THE PROPERTY, THE SPACE WE HAVE, WHAT AMENITIES WE HAVE AVAILABLE LIKE WATER, SEWER, POWER AND ACCESS. WE CAN COME IN TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS EXPRESSED OVER THE PAST YEAR IS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT WE NEED MORE OF.

WE WILL SIT DOWN AND COME UP WITH THE ACTUAL SPACING IT CAN BE USER-FRIENDLY AND BE VALUE ENGINEERED AS WELL QUICK SO BASED ON THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE AND THE

SPACE. >> YES, IT ALLOWS US TO SAY LIKE WE DID ON SPORTS.

WE CAN FIT SIX SOFTBALL FIELDS IN HERE BECAUSE WE LOOK AT THE SPACING.

THIS ONE IS LOOKING AT WE CAN FIT A TRAIL, WE CAN PUT IT THROUGH HERE AND OUT HERE WITH THE PARKING LOT. IT'S COMING UP WITH NOT JUST A GUESS BUT A VERY EDUCATED GUESS ON WHAT WILL FIT IN THE PARK AND FROM THERE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND ENGINEER TO LOOK AT WHAT WE NEED TO ADD ACTUALLY MAKE THOSE AMENITIES WORK OUT BEST.

>> AT THAT POINT ONCE WE GET THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN BACK THE TAKE THAT PLAN TO THE PARKS

BOARD? >> YOU YES SIR. WE WILL GO TO THE PARK AND COME UP WITH THE IDEAS. WILL PROBABLY HAVE A WORKSHOP. I KNOW YOU HAVE ABOUT 52 WORKSHOPS COMING UP. I DON'T WANT TO ADD TO IT BUT IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A DISCUSSION WITH EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S COMFORTABLE WITH ITAND GO TO THE PARK BOARD . WE WOULD GO BACK TO DISCUSS AND DURING THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN THEY WILL GIVE US A COST ESTIMATE. THEY WILL, LOOK OUT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON NOW IN MARKET AND SAY THIS IS HOW MUCH WE THINK THIS WOULD COST. GIVE US A BALLPARK AND OF COURSE IF WE GO HIGHER ON THE AMENITIES AND LOWER ON THE SCALE TO RAIL THAT PRICE AND WE

COME BACK TO COUNSEL AND REQUEST APPROVAL FOR FUNDING. >> WHAT IS THE ACTUAL DELIVERABLE? IT SOUNDS VERY VAGUE. IT'S A CONCEPT AND BEST GUESS.

ARE THEY GONNA PROVIDE SITE PLANS AND ELEVATION? WHAT WE RECEIVED FOR $19,000?

>> THEY ARE ON-SITE AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE UPS AND DOWNS OF THE PROPERTY.

THEY COME IN AND SIZE EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TO ACTUALLY PUT THE SIZE THAT WE CAN TO LOOK AT THE AMENITIES THAT WILL GO WITH THE WATER LINES.

THEY WILL COME UP WITH THAT WHOLE PLAN WHICH FROM THERE IT SPEEDS UP THAT ENGINEERING

PROCESS IT IS MOVING IT AROUND. >> IT'S AN ACTUAL LAYOUT. IT'S NOT ENGINEERING IT SHOWS

[00:30:22]

STUFF. >> DO WE NOT ALREADY HAVE THAT DOCUMENTED?

WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN PLACE? >> IS CREATING THE NEW AMENITIES AND PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN PLACE WOULD BE OF BLUEPRINT FROM 1972 OUT

THERE BUT THAT DOESN'T SHOW AN . >> BUT WE NEVER DONE IT FOR

THIS PARTICULAR. >> HOOKS WHAT WAS DESIGNED WITH THE CONCEPT THAT WE GIVE US? IT'S A PRICING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE SCOPE WILL BE

BUDGET WISE. >> YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS PLAY THIS GAME.

GET YOUR TRUE PLAPRICES WHEN TH BITS GO OUT. THEY'VE GONE OUT TO PARKS THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY BEEN BILLED AND THE TYPE OF AMENITIES WE WANT TO USE THE PRODUCTS WE WANT. IT'S THE PRICES THAT HAVE JUST OCCURRED THAT THEY CAN FIND AND THEY GIVE US AN IDEA AND SAY OKAY THIS IS YOUR BALLPARK. THEY ARE GOING TO BE NOT DEAD ON BECAUSE IT'S NOT A TRUE BED. THEY GO OUT AND HAVE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> . >> IT'S THE IDEA OF COMMENTS OR QUICKSAND LIKE TO MAKE A

MOTION IS APPROVED AS PRESENTE . >> WITH EMOTION IN A SECOND.

[2023-378]

>> OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 378. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH MARTIN MARIETTA NORTH TEXAS CEMENT LLC FOR THE PLACEMENT OF

AN ELEVATED STORAGE TANK LOCATED OFF OF WARD ROAD. >> .

>> THIS ITEM IS COMING BEFORE YOU. >> IS AN ELEVATED STORAGE TANK AT THE BOARD OF IT HAS AGREED TO FUND.I KNOW WITHIN YOUR AGENDA WE HAVE THESE BULLETED ITEMS I WILL JUST REVIEW THE HIGHLIGHTS. THE TERM IS A LONG-TERM LEASE.

THERE IS AN ABILITY TO HAVE FIVE OR 10 YEAR EXTENSIONS. WE ARE LOOKING AT AN APPROXIMATE 7/10 OF AN ACRE. THE LEASE ITSELF IS $5000 PER YEAR.

IT'S NOT CHANGING OVER THE TIME. WE PAY EACH YEAR A BUDGET FOR EACH EACH YEAR. IT'S THE FUND PROCESS. THEY HAVE THOSE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE USAGE. WE CAN'T USE IT FOR THE THIRD PARTY WITH THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. THAT WAS PART OF THE AGREEMENT AS WELL. UPON INSPIRATION IF WE HAVE A TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT WE WOULD HAVE ONE YEAR OF DETERMINATION FOR THE AGREEMEN .

THAT GIVES US TIME TO PLAN. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THEM TO MAKE THAT DOWN HERE.

THIS JUST SHOWS THE ACTUAL AREA IN THE BLUE AND THE OVERALL AREA IS SHOWING ON THE OUTSIDE.

>> ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE DO HAVE IS ACTUALLY BASED ON THE TML INSURANCE.

WE ORIGINALLY HAD THE SET UP AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS INFORMATION FROM TML THAT'S THE

[00:35:01]

>> IS A GOING TO BE LIT UP LIKE THE TOWER USED TO BE THAT APPEAR?

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE WILL HAVE SOME LIGHTING BUT IT WILL NOT BE SO FAR BACK.

>> HE DID SAY MDA SPENDING THAT? >> THAT'S CORRECT SIR.>> I

THOUGHT THEY HAD IT MORE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE LOOKING AT WAS WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND ONE THAT WE REALLY WANTED PUT US ON TOP OF THE HILL. WE WOULD NOT BE IN AGREEMENT. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO PULL IT OUT SO THAT WE COULD LOWER IT BUT YES THIS IS THE AREA THAT WAS BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT

THAT WAS DONE. >> KNOWING THAT THIS IS PART OF THE LONG-TERM PLAN THROUGH OUR LONG-TERM PLANNING DOES ANY OF THIS CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE? HAVE WE LEARNED ANYTHING

THROUGH THIS PROCESS? >> IT IS GONE PRETTY WELL FOR THE LINES OF HOW WE WORK ON THIS. WRAPPING UP AND IT'S GOING IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT A WHILE AGO BUT WE PUSH THESE FORWARD TO DO A LOT OF THE FUNDING RECENTLY. RIGHT NOW THE ESTIMATES ARE SOMEWHERE FROM $13-$14 MILLION. THIS WAS $3.3 MILLION. THEY SECURE THE AREA WITH A LOT

OF IMPROVEMENTS. >> MIKE I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS BETTER FOR YOU OR FOR CHRIST. WHEN WE POTENTIALLY LOOK AT THIS MONEY OUR PROJECT HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHERE IT SAYS LEASE AGREEMENT. WHAT NOT BEHOOVE US TO PUT THAT ON CITY PROPERTY? WHERE WE HAVE TO LEASE IT FROM THEM?DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE

WAY TO NOT LEASE BETWEEN US? >> THIS IS FOR THE WATER TOWER SITE SO AS LONG AS WE DO IT IS A WATER TOWER SITE WHERE 50 YEARS AND THEN WE HAVE THE FIVE OR 10 YEAR EXTENSIONS.

WE ALSO STILL HAVE THE ABILITY FOR COUNSEL TO MAKE A DECISION IF THEY WANT TO ACQUIRE THAT.

HAVING THE ABILITY TO BUILD THAT PROCESS WAS NOT TAKEN BY EASE.

THEY WERE AND WERE AMENABLE TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT AND INVOLVES THE OVERALL POPULATION BETWEEN WHAT THEY HAD. A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CITY WATER TOWER BECAUSE THEY

MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY. >> THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY VERSUS HOW IT IS.

>> JOE DID YOU REVIEW THIS? >> MY QUESTION IS ON CLAUSES FOR TERMINATION WHAT RIGHTS DO THEY HAVE TO TERMINATE THIS AND IF SO IS THERE AN INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE

AGREEMENT AS FAR AS PAYBACK TO THE CITY FOR COST? >> THE CITY CAN USE SOME OF

[00:40:17]

THAT DOMAIN. >> ARE NOT PREPARED TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE LEASE

AGREEMENT. >> YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT IT DOESN'T PUT THE CITY AT

RISK? >> WE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ALMOST A YEAR.THAT

LEGAL COUNSEL IS COMFORTABLE WITH IT. >> IT MAKES ME A LITTLE CONCERNED. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW THESE PROPERTIES.

>> IT'S A VERY SMALL PIECE OF LAND. >> I DO MAINTAIN IT AND THAT WOULD FIT IN. I THINK WE ARE GOING CLOSE TO 40 YEARS NOW AND WE KEEP REHABBING AND AS WE GO. IT'S BEEN REPEATED AND IT WILL BE REPAINTED AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IT'S NOT KNOWING THE LIFE OF THE ACTUAL TIME.

BUT KNOWING IT'S GONNA OUTLAST THE TIME. WE WANT TO KNOW IF THE COUNCIL GO AHEAD AND DECIDE WHETHER THE EASEMENT OR HOW THEY WANT TO PROCEED WITH THE PROCESS.

>> 'SCOUNSEL HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HEARING THAT I WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION.> I WILL MAKE A MOTION. >> A SECOND.

>> PLEASE VOTE. >> THE ITEM PASSES SEVEN AND ZERO.

[2023-379]

>> MIKE DON'T GO FAR AWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE BACKUP. ITEM 2023 ? 379.

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT WITH TARRANT REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT FOR THE TEMPORARY USE OF CITY PROPERTY AT THE AUGER WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND ADJACENT AREAS AS PART OF THE PIPELINE

REHABILITATION PROJECT. >> WITH THE PLAN IT SUPPLIED BY THE WATER DISTRICT AND HAS

72 INCH PIPES THAT CUT THROUGH THE PLANT SITE. >> THE PLAN AGREES AT THE END OF 2024 TO REPLACE THE SEGMENT OF THE 72 INCH PIPELINE COMING THROUGH TO BE PROACTIVE IN CHANGING SEGMENTS OF THE PIPELINE. WHAT THEY'VE ASKED REALLY IS WITHIN OUR PLANT SITE AND PROPERTY THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE PLANT.

THEY COULD DO SOME STAGING AND SOME STORING. WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS THAT WERE BENEFIT FROM US AT THE PLANT. AND SO AGAIN THEY JUST LOOK TO WORK WITH US AND HAVE AREAS ON OUR PROPERTY TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH THEM ON THAT.

THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE ON AUGUST 17. AT THAT TIME IT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE AS A TEMPORARY WORKSPACE EASEMENT. THEY WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED

[00:45:01]

IT PROVIDES FOR THE ABILITIES TO REVERSE AS WELL.ORMALLY THE IMPACT FEES ARE PAID FOR AT THE TIME OF THE BUILDING PERMIT. THE CITY COLLECTS THE FEES AND THEN WE HOLD THEM AND REIMBURSE THEM BACK TO THE DEVELOPER. NORMALLY WE ARE CREDITED BACK TO THE BUILDING AND FOR WHAT'S LOOKING FOR THE IMPACT FEE REIMBURSEMENT. WE ARE JUST ADDING THE REIMBURSEMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THIS AMENDMENT. WITH THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO

THE ITEM DOES PAST SEVEN AND ZERO. >> AND I WILL OPEN ITEM 2023 ?

[2023-381]

JURISDICTIONS. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

BEFORE YOU AS THE PROPOSED WHEN YOUR CONTRACT FOR SERVICE IN THE ESD.

IT BASICALLY ENCOMPASSES THE BOUNDARY OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRIC .

THE PROPOSAL FOR SERVICE IS A ONE MILLION-DOLLAR DIRECT REVENUE LAID OUT IN TWO DIFFERENT PAYMENTS. WE HAVE A FISCAL YEAR FOR 2024 AND IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE AN AUTHORIZED PAYMENT FOR AFTER $2000 FOR VARIOUS ITEMS AND EQUIPMENT WITH ENHANCEMENTS, PORTABLE RADIOS, WORKOUT EQUIPMENT AND SOME ADVANCE RESCUE EQUIPMENT.

THE EXTERIOR STAIRWELL AT OUR FIRE FACILITY AND A NEW LIGHT PACK MONITOR THAT WILL PUT ON ONE FOURTH LICENSE FOR LICENSED MEDICS. THEY AGREED TO PAY $40,000 FOR

A STRIP OF LAND. >> IN ADDITION TO THAT THAT'S 10$1,262,000.

WE ANTICIPATE $192,000 FOR THE REVENUE BILLING. THEY HAVE ALSO AUTHORIZED A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD BASICALLY HAVE BEEN PAID FOR THE AUXILIARY TO BE FELT BEHIND

[00:50:04]

WITH THAT I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED

UP TO SPEAK?>> THIS ITEM IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR.

THERE IS A WORKSHOP SCHEDULED TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES ON OCTOBER 3 AT 4:00 P.M.. DO WE HAVE

QUESTIONS FROM STAFF? >> CHIEF CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN THE INVESTMENT IN THE VARIOUS EQUIPMENTS IS THE 1.262 MILLION DOLLARS? WHAT WAS THE REVENUE FROM THE .0995? WE HAVE A CONTRACT PAYMENT OF $1 MILLION WHICH COMES TO US IN A CHECK IN TWO SEPARATE PAYMENTS THAT MAKE $500,000 PAYMENTS.

>> THE $0.8 MILLION FOR THE OTHER $800,000 IS THAT WHAT THEY ARE INVESTING IN? WE HAVE ANTICIPATED REVENUE FROM OUR EMS BUILDING. BASICALLY BRENNAN ABOUT $1.4 BILLION WITH THE BILLING AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE BOUGHT IT FOR.

>> FOR THE TOTAL REVENUE OF THE CITY IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR THAT WE LOOKED AT WE ARE RIGHT AROUND $1.4 MILLION IN REVENUE. I JUST APPLIED A 13% FACTOR

WITH OUR RUNS? >> DO WE KNOW WHAT HAVE WE DONE AT PRODUCTION OFF OF WHAT THE TOTAL POPULATION IS WITHIN A CORPORATION? WE HAVE THE PURVIEW AND THERE'S MORE TO COME. DO WE KNOW WHAT THE PROJECTIONIST DOWN THE ROAD?

>> I DON'T HAVE AN EDUCATED ANSWER FOR YOU. THE TWO THAT ARE MOST FAMILIAR WITH OUR HIGHLAND LAKES. I HAVE NOT SEEN A CONCEPTUAL PLAN THAT SHOWS THE PLAT AND THE HOUSING LAYOUT IN THAT ONE. I'VE ONLY SEEN LAND WITH ACREAGE FOR POTENTIAL ZONING IN THE AREA. THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR ONLY 16% ARE IN THE ESD.

THE REST ARE EITHER IN THE CITY LIMITS SO HIGHLAND LAKES TO ME IS NOT A LARGE CONCERN.

I BELIEVE IT IS CIRCLE EIGHT. I HAVE SEEN A CONCEPTUAL PLAT THAT ESTIMATES OVER SEVEN DOLLARS PER LOT. EVERETT FOR HOUSEHOLD IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IS $2.8 MILLION

PER HOUSEHOLD. >> YOU KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND THAT INFORMATION?

[00:55:18]

I>> THEY APPROVE THEIR PORTION SO THERE SHOULD BE A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT.

>> YOU ASKED ABOUT THE CONSENSUAL LOT LAYOUT. >> I'M JUST WAS CURIOUS I

DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS A NEAR PROGRESSION LONG-TERM OR NOT. >> CAN I CHIME IN REALLY QUICK. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

TONIGHT WE DO KNOW THE NUMBERS WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE AFTER. LET'S TRY TO KEEP IT TO TONIGHT'S ISSUE AT HAND. WE WILL DIVE DEEPER INTO THAT TUESDAY AT 4:00 P.M..

>> WAS ABOUT 13 TO 15,000. >> I WOULD AGREE. >> HAS THIS CONTRACT GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS?THE POPULATION HAS INCREASED OR HAS THE FUNDING

BEEN SOMEWHAT STABLE? >> IT HAS BEEN A GROWING RESOURCE AND THEY'VE BEEN FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS AS FAR AS A FUNDING SOURCE. PRIOR TO THAT WE DIDN'T THE FUNDING. WE STARTED THE COMMUNITY AROUND 1985 WITH THE FIRE DISTRICT BEING CREATED WHICH THEN ALLOWED FOR CITIZENS WHO DO NOT LIVE IN THE CITY.

THERE WAS NO TAXING AUTHORITY THEN TO PROVIDE TAX AND IT STARTED OUT AT A MAX OF 10.

IT IS INCREASED ANNUALLY AND THE ONLY TIME WE SEE WHERE IT HAS INCREASED IS THROUGH THE ANNEXATION BECAUSE WE WOULD BE ON AN INCREASE PLANE AND GO FOR AN ANNEXATION WHERE THEY WOULD LOSE PROPERTY VALUE AND SEE LITTLE BIT OF A DIP THERE. WE ARE WELL BEYOND THOSE DAYS.

I COULD REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST BECAME CHIEF I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT $600,000 PAYMENTS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THAT'S THE MAIN CONTRACT TYPE AND THEN ADDITIONAL TIMES WHERE THEY WANT TO STEP IN AND HELP. WE NEED EQUIPMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT HELPS US OFFSET SOME OF THE EXPENSES TO THE CITIZENS TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND BUY SOME OF

THAT EQUIPMENT. >> MY SECOND QUESTION REVOLVES AROUND COST.

WE HAVE AN ANNUAL COST AND WE ARE NEUTRAL ON THOSE SERVICES. WE SUBSIDIZE IT.

HOW DOES THAT LOOK? >> IF A $13 MILLION BUDGET THIS YEAR.

THERE'S A LITTLE OVER 13% THAT COMES INTO THE ESD WITH A RUN VOLUME FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. THE LITTLE OVER 13% AND I BELIEVE I FILL UP WITH ABOUT $1.8 MILLION. THIS YEAR WE STAND AS WE AGREE TO ACCEPT AND RECEIVE ABOUT

$1.8 MILLION IN EITHER DIRECT REVENUE OR ADVANCEMENT. >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> CHIEF I DO HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

[01:00:04]

>> SECOND. >> PLEASE VOTE. >> PASA 70.

IT PASSES SEVEN AND ZERO. >> OPENING ITEM 322023 ? 382. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON UTILIZING

[2023-382]

$95,057.26. >> A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THE COUNTY EXPRESSED INTEREST TO ASSIST US WITH EXPANDING THAT SYSTEM. WE WILL SPEND APPROXIMATELY $850,000 AT THE SECOND SITE WHICH GIVES US CONSISTENT READ TO IF WE LOSE WE CAN STILL RUN OUT OF CHAMBERS CREEKSIDE. PART OF THE COST INVOLVE SETTING UP THE SECOND SHELTER AT FIRE STATION THREE TO HOUSE THE EQUIPMENT. WE COULD NOT COVER WITH A $50,000. WITH LIKE TO USE THE FUND BALANCE WITH THE PAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS TO COVER THOSE COST . THAT'S WHAT WE DESIGNED THE FUND BALANCE FOUR. WE CHARGE THAT MANY AS PART OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES THAT WE PAID OUR USERS WITH ABOUT $20,000 PER YEAR TO BUILD THAT FUND BALANCE.

THIS WOULD JUST COVER THE COST OF WHAT THE COUNTY IS SPENDING TO UPGRADE THE SYSTEM.

>> WE HAVE ANYONE TO SEND TO SPEAK ON THIS? >> SINCE WE HAVE NONE I WILL

ENTERTAIN A MOTION.> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> PLEASE VOTE. IT DOES PASS SEVEN AND ZERO. >> OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 383.

AND ZERO. >> OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 384. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON

[2023-384]

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. THIS ITEM IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR AND MORE OFTEN IF THERE IS MAJOR CHANGES. THE INTENT OF THE SCHEDULE TO GIVE A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THE FEAST OF THE CITY CHARGES. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE PENALTIES OR FINES. IT JUST GIVES YOU YOUR FEES. DOES NOT INCLUDE FINES.

THERE IS A DISTINCTION THERE. THIS LIST HAS AND SUPERSEDES ANY APPROVALS.

IT JUST KIND OF RUNS THROUGH SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE MADE.

THOSE CHANGES WERE MADE BECAUSE THEY DID A COMPARISON WITH THE NUMBER OF CITIES AND THEY WALK AHEAD THROUGH AND LOOKED AT THOSE AND CAME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY COMPARABLE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FOOD SERVICE THOSE CHANGES ARE SOMEWHAT

[01:05:03]

WHEN YOU THE GOOD THE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE INSPECTION FEE.

THAT ONE HAS CHANGED AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION. IT CAN NO LONGER BE 3.5% OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS.IT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE CALCULATED WITH THE FOOT BASIS.

THAT'S WHY THAT ONE WAS CHANGE . EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR EXAMPLE

THE ANNUAL ALARM SYSTEM. >> IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN I HAVE A COPY BUT THOSE WERE LITERALLY COMING OFF OF THAT SCHEDULE. WATHEY WANT A DOLLAR 90 ON THE SECURITY FEE. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE PARKS AND RECREATION.

THERE ARE A FEW CHANGES TO THAT. ON THE FIELD REYNOLDS THOSE USED TO HAVE SEPARATE CHARGES FOR LIGHTING. THOSE HAVE BEEN COMBINED WITH THE PANEL FEES SO IT'S ONE FEE. DETERMDETERMFETOURNAMENT FEES A ALSO THERE.

I WILL SAY WE ARE NOT THE HIGHEST ON THAT LIST. AND THEN WE ALSO ADDED THE STRIPING FEES. THE FOOTBALL AND SOCCER. IN UTILITIES IF YOU LOOK AT THE METERS THAT WAS ACTUALLY BASED ON COST FOR SERVICES. UTILITY BILLING WITH THE WATER RATES. THE WATER RATES DIDN'T CHANGE. IT CAME FROM ABOUT THE FIVE-YEAR UTILITY RATE AND THAT WAS DONE IN 2021 AS WELL. THOSE ARE FIVE YEARS SO THOSE WILL BE DUE UP AGAIN VERY VIEW. FINALLY ONE THING THAT WAS ADDED THAT WE DID NOT HAVE BEFORE THAT YOU APPROVED AS A COUNSEL RECENTLY WAS THE HAZARDOUS WASTE VOUCHERS FOR CITY AND NON-CITY RESIDENTS. THOSE ARE ALSO CHARGED. WITH THAT I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE TYPE OF FEES AND

ANNOUNCE WHAT MIGHT'VE BEEN. >> ARE THOSE NEW OR DO THEY APPLY DIRECTLY?

>> WE WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT TAKES THE GUYS THE WHOLE DAY TO FIGURE OUT THAT FILM SO WE ADDED IN HERE AND EVERYONE AROUND TO CHARGE THE STRIKING FEE FOR THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION WE ARE NOT CHARGING WHEN WE GO OUT. IF WE HAVE A TOURNAMENT THAT WANTS TO CHANGE THE LAYOUT IT TAKES DAYS FOR US TO GET THAT DONE.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ON HOW WE CAME TO SOME OF THE PARTICULAR NUMBERS.I THINK YOU MENTIONED IT. ON THE UTILITY SIDE YOU SAID WE REALLY TOOK WHAT IT COSTS US TO DO THOSE RELOCATIONS. IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT I UNDERSTOOD IS ON SOME OF THE COMMUNITY

[01:10:06]

>> A LOT OF THESE SMALLER FEES GO FROM 5 TO 10 OR 10 TO 20 AND IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT BUT WHEN YOU'RE DOUBLING THEM AND SOME OF THEM ARE 60%, A LOT OF THE SMALLER NUMBERS.

EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SMALL AMOUNTS THE PERCENTAGE IS PRETTY HIGH.

I'VE GOT SOME CONCERNS THERE. NOW THEY'RE GOING TO PAY 10. DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO COME UP WITH WHAT IT COST ISSUE THAT PERMIT.

I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT DRASTICALLY INCREASING THOSE.

IT'S WITH THE PARKS IN THE. ONE OF THE CONCERNS AS I GOT ON COUNSEL WAS WHEN I FELT NOT CHARGING ENOUGH WITH A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT. IN THIS PROPOSAL ARE RESIDENT FEES ARE GOING UP ALONG WITH OUR NONRESIDENT. SPEAKING AS ONE PERSON ON COUNSEL I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE NONRESIDENT REYNOLDS. THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO OFFSET THE RESIDENCE SO I DON'T LIKE INCREASING RUN OF HIS RESIDENCE RATES OUTSIDE OF SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT RELATED RATES. CRACKS WOULD YOU PLEASE COME UP

TO THE MIC. >> IT'S FIVE DOLLARS TO AT THE LIGHTS IN THEIR BUT IF YOU NOTICE ON THE TOURNAMENT FEES THEY SHOW THE NONRESIDENT FEES CAME SIGNIFICANTLY.

NONRESIDENT ARE 500. MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN ARE PAYING TO UTILIZE THESE AREAS. MOST OF THESE ARE CLEANUP BECAUSE WE HAD LIGHTS, NO LIGHTS AND IT SEEMED TO BE A BIG ISSUE. NOW WE JUST SET UP AS ONE.

THAT WAY IT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF QUICKLY. >> ON THE PRIMARY ONE IN THE PARKS AND IT CHANGED BOTH TOURNAMENTS BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S PROPORTIONATE TO THE

[01:15:04]

NESTRESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT BECAUSE THEY BOTH WENT UP. >>.

AYES, SIR. Q.THE RESIDENT WENT UP HUNDRED DOLLARS AND THE NONRESIDENT ONE OF $200.

AS HE WENT THERE LOOKING EVERYONE AROUND US IT'S $150 PER TEAM.YOU HAVE TWO TEAMS ON A FIELD SO THAT'S $300 JUST TO GET ON THE AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE 10 TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A TOURNAMENT. WE TRIED TO STAY AND WE DIDN'T GO ABOVE BUT WE HAD THE SAME WITH RESIDENT FEES AND EVEN WHEN WE HAVE A RESIDENT DO A TOURNAMENT THERE'S A LOT OF

NONRESIDENT IN THEIR SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. >> IN THOSE SITUATIONS IT'S

PRIMARILY USED BY NONRESIDENTS. >> WE HAVE BOTH. A LOT OF THE OTHERS DON'T HAVE RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT. WE GIVE OUR RESIDENTS A BREAK AND NONRESIDENT OF THE PAY

PERIOD. >> I STILL FEEL LIKE THAT NONRESIDENT AGAIN.

>> I WOULD ALMOST LIKE TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR NONRESIDENTS TO USE THE $40 MILLION LINE.

>> WE GO OFF WITH THE TRUE COST IS TO ADMINISTER THESE AREAS.

>> IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A PENALTY BUT I THINK WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS WE SHOULDN'T BE SUBSIDIZING SOMEBODY FROM OUTSIDE OUR COMMUNITY UTILIZING THE PARK.THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS. I'VE GOT CLARITY ON EVERYTHING ELSE.

>> WITH LOTS OF QUESTIONS SO LET'S START THIS WAY. >> MY REAL CONCERN IS THE WAY THIS IS HAPPENING. I TRY TO TAKE EXCEPTION AS YOU ASKED WITH THESE FEES WITHOUT SHOWING THE PREVIOUS FEE. I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION OF WHY THEY CHANGE BUT I WASN'T A STUDIOUS AS COUNCILMAN MOORMAN WITH PULLING THE ENTIRE FEE SCHEDULE.

>> I WILL NOTE THAT. I'D LIKE FOR THAT TO BE A REDLINE VERSION.

>> YOU ARE ASKING ME TO APPROVE INCREASES TO OUR CITIZENS ON THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE ARE INCREASING IN. BECAUSE OF THAT I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE WAY IT'S PRESENTED. WE SHOULD DEFINITELY CORRECT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE . I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS COME BACK WHERE I CAN ACTUALLY READ THROUGH IT. THAT'S MY ISSUE. X THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. ON ONE HAND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO SOME OF THE WEEDS BUT I TRUST STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WILL GO SO ARE COMING OUT OF BUDGET SEASON AND I SAID THAT THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT WE WOULD HAVE.IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ADDRESSING THIS BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WERE NOT LOSING WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD. I DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT ENTIRE CONVERSATION. NEXT I WILL SAY THAT YES IT WILL BE ONCE A YEAR A WEEK ON

[01:20:11]

ONE. >> I KNOW I DO I WANT TO SIT IN A WORKSHOP AND TALK ABOUT THIS BUT WITH THE IMPACT FEES AND THINK IT'S MY TIME TO BRING IT UP.

>> IT'S A SPECIAL POINT FOR SURE. >> WE DID A FIVE-YEAR STUDY IN 2021 WITH THE WASTEWATER STUDY. IF WE THINK THAT THOSE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED WE CAN ALWAYS GO OUT AND DO ANOTHER STUDY OR HAVE IT UPDATED.X THESE ARE PRESENTED ARE JUST FINAL

THOUGHTS. >> I KINDA MISSED IT. DID WE TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT WITH WHAT THEY INCLUDE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE? IT'S AN INCOMING DEVELOPMENT OF HER PARTNER SPEED. WE HAVE A WORKSHOP ON THAT. DO WE HAVE AN INCOMING

DEVELOPMENT PARK TODAY? AND IF SO IS IT SPECIFIC? >> NOT THAT SPECIFIC.>> AS

PART OF THE WORKSHOP I WAS GONNA SAY IS THE PART THAT WE NEED TO BRING BACK.>> THESE ARE MY CONCERNS. THIS IS FIXING TO GET REALLY WASH SHE REALLY QUICK.

WE HAVE BEEN SINCE I HAVE BEEN ASKING THESE QUESTIONS HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT IT COSTS? I BELIEVE IT'S IN SMALL TO WHAT WE JUST PAY FOR. GOING BACK TO HER USE TO WHICH CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THAT WE DON'T START TODAY. ON ANY SURFACE IT'S IN THE POPULATION THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS.MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF YOU LIKE WE HAVE TO REALLY START GRASPING WHAT KIND OF USAGE WE HAVE. I DON'T HOW TO HANDLE THAT BUT

IT MIGHT MAKE ME NERVOUS ON THE COMMENT. >> HE IS CORRECT.

YOU CAN ALWAYS CHARGE LESS. WE BECOME A CITY OF 85,000 AND OF COURSE SERVING 250,000.

SOMETHING HAS TO BALANCE. BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO BE A PART EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY WELL

[01:25:02]

PRIVATELY WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES SO THAT'S WHAT CONCERNS ME. >> THIS IS THE SECOND CITY THAT I'VE WORKED IN THAT WE'VE HAD DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH YEAR FROM HERE.

IT DOES GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHANGE BUT I WILL TELL YOU YOU HAVE TO BE

ABLE TO MAKE THE COST. >> ACTUALLY WENT BACK TO THE SERVICE REVIEW.

>> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. ONE THING THAT HAS TO GET APPROVED TONIGHT IS ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 2 ON EXHIBIT A. BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES IN THE STATE LAW WILL NEED TO GET

UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT CODE WITH A LINEAR FOOT. >> I HAVE A QUESTION IF WE

PASS THIS AS IT IS DESIGNED WE CAN HAVE A WORKSHOP IN 30 DAYS. >> IT'S NOT AS IF WE HAVE TO

MAKE A DECISION. >> MY MOTION IS GOING TO BE TO TABLE THIS SO I NEED TO KNOW THE VERBIAGE THAT I NEED TO REPLACE IN ORDER TO FULFILL THAT OBLIGATION.

THE TABLE THAT I WANT IS UNTIL THE WORKSHOPS TAKE PLACE AND UNTIL A REDLINE VERSION CAN BE

PRODUCED AND PRESENTED. >> MOTION TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT

CODE AND TABLING THE REMAINDER TO COME BACK QUICK . >> SECOND.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS FOR EXHIBIT A AND TABLE THE REMAINDER UNTIL THE

WORKSHOP MEETING. >> HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ONLY THE PROVISIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE IN EXHIBIT A AND TO TABLE THE REMAINDER UNTIL WE HAVE HAD A WORKSHOP ON THE ISSUES THAT WE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED AND THE REDLINE VERSION CAN BE PRESENTED QUICK

SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

PLEASECOMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE COMMENT ON THE MOTION.

THE PART ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS ARE WE GOING TO HAVE HER BRING US A REDLINE VERSION?

OR IS THE WHOLE THING ON HOLD UNTIL WE HAVE THE WORKSHOPS? >> PLEASE PLACE YOUR VOTE.

THE ITEM DOES PASS. >> COUNSEL I'M GOING TO CALL THE QUICK AUDIBLE.

[2023-387]

[01:30:09]

WE WILL COME BACK TO 385 AND 386. OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 387.

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION OF CANDIDATE NOMINATIONS FOR THE ELLIS APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR 2024 AND 2025 AREA.

>> THIS IS AN ANNUAL NOMINATIONS. THIS IS NOT AS CASTING VOTES.

IT IS FOR THE COUNCIL TO MAKE A NOMINATION OR NOMINATIONS TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

WE DO WANT TO SEEK REAPPOINTMENT AND IT'S OPEN FOR THE COUNCIL.

ONCE THE NOMINATIONS ARE RECEIVED WE WILL COME BACK AT A LATER COUNSEL AGENDA AND ALLOCATE OUR VOTES TO ONE PERSON OR SPLITTING THEM UP AMONGST MULTIPLE CANDIDATES.

YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY VOTES THAT EACH OF THE VARIOUS TAXING ENTITIES HAVE.

THERE ARE SOME TAXING ENTITIES THAT CAME SOLELY BY THEMSELVES. THEIR OTHER ENTITY SUCH AS OURSELVES AND FOR SOME REASON WE NEED TO COMBINE BOTH. AGAIN THAT'S IN THE FUTURE.

TONIGHT IS JUST A NOMINATION. >> THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE TABLE ARE FOR CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS SERVING ON THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT. THOSE ARE TO BE CONSIDERED ADDITIONALLY IF WE HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE FOR CONSIDERATION THERE IS A PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE NOT PASSED. HAS ANYONE FROM THE COMMUNITY SUBMITTED NAMES TO THESE? NO AND HAS SUBMITTED SO WITH THAT I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR

DISCUSSION. >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION. DAVID HURST IS CURRENTLY APPOINTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. BUT THEN WE RECEIVED SOME INFORMATION THIS WEEK THE THESE HAVE BEEN A WAVE FROM ANOTHER BOARD HAVE BEEN REAPPOINTED.

>> ACCORDING TO THE POLICY THAT WE RECENTLY ADOPTED AND READY THAT'S APPOINTED OR ELECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL ARE ONE OF THE BOARDS CANNOT BE REFLECTED TO SERVE IN OTHER

BOARDS. >> ON AN OUTSIDE BOARD THEY ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO SERVE. BECAUSE HE WAS ALREADY ON THIS BOARD PRIOR TO THAT BEING IN

PLACE. >> IS HAVING TO RESRESIGN FOR THIS NEXT TERM.

>> WE CAN ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS PIECE. >> A MOTION TO APPROVE AND RECOMMEND THE CURRENT SITTING BOARD MEMBERS FOR RECONSIDERATION.

>> I WILL SECOND THAT. >> DO WE VOCALIZE THAT CORRECTLY?

[2023-388 ]

IT DOES PASS SEVEN AND ZERO. >> OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 388. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON NOMINATIONS FOR APPOINTMENTS TO THE POPARK BOARD, ZONING BOARD ADJUSTMENT, MIDLOTHIAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND MIDLOTHIAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

THE BOARDS MET AND DISCUSSED THE POSITIONS. HAVE THE APPLICATIONS OR RESUMES FOR THE CANDIDATES AND THE BOARD TONIGHT. TONIGHT WE WILL SUBMIT THESE

[01:35:02]

>> THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT THE COMMITTEE IS PUTTING FORWARD.

>> THAT IS CRACKED. >> IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I WILL

TAKE A MOTION. >> MOTION. >> SECOND.

>> PLEASE VOTE. ADAM PA THE ITEM PASSES SEVEN AND ZERO.

[2023-385]

>> OPENING ITEM 2023 ? 385. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION APPROVING A SUSPENSION OF THE ACTIVITIES AND AUTHORITY OF THE JOINT AIRPORT BOARD UNTIL A REVISED JOINT AIRPORT AGREEMENT IS COMPLETED AND ADOPT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ME

MIDLOTHIAN. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL AND MAYOR.

THIS IS A RESOLUTION THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY LAST MONDAY NIGHT.

BASICALLY THE RESOLUTION GOES THROUGH THE HISTORY THAT WAS ADOPTED AND 87.

THEY NOW DESIRE TO FURTHER REFINE THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY AND BOARD OF OPERATION MAINTENANCE OF THE AIRPORT ALREADY COMMENCED IN THE CITIES. IT'S PURSUANT TO THE DISAGREEMENT.

WHEREAS THEY AGREE THAT THE ACTIVITIES AND THE BOARD NEED TO BE SUSPENDED UNTIL A NEW REVISED AGREEMENT IS COMPLETED. THE AGREEMENT IS SUSPENDED IN EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

THE ACTIVITIES OF THE JOINT AIRPORT BOARD WILL BE TEMPORARILY TRANSFERRED TO THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN. THE MATTERS RELATED TO THAT PROGRESSION IN ACTIVITIES WILL BE HANDLED BY THE AIRPORT PERSON UNDER THE SUPERVISION AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE RESOLUTION WILL TAKE PLACE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY ON ITS PASSAGE.

>> FOR THE RECORD I WOULD LIKE TO READ THE COMMENTS AND THE I HAVE TWO NON-SPEAKER FORMS THAT WERE TURNED IN. BOTH IN OPPOSITION IN THE CITY LIMITS.DO WE HAVE ANYONE SENT TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE? MR. WILLIAMS YOU WANT TO COME UP?

TELL US WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE IN THE CITY LIMITS. >> AND DOCTOR WILLIAMS I LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW MY POSITION ON THIS.

THE FIRST SPEAKER DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. SHE REALLY LAID IT OUT REALLY WELL. IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS ABOUT WHERE WHY CITY HAS REASON TO SUSPEND THIS BOARD.THE BOARD IS BASICALLY BEING GUTTED UNTIL BOARD MEMBERS RESIGN BECAUSE OF THESE ACTIONS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS ESCALATED. MOST OF THE PEOPLE YOU WILL FIND VOLUNTEER IN THE SPORT ARE VERY POSITIVE ABOUT THE AIRPORT AND ARE TRYING DESPERATELY. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE SCENES. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. >> DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER

COMMENTS? >> WILL YOU PLEASE PREPARE FOR QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL?

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF BRIEF LEGAL QUESTIONS. >> CAN WE COME BACK TO THAT IN

[01:40:03]

CASE DOES OTHER QUESTIONS? >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OPENING

SESSION? >> I HAVE COMMENTS. AS I SAID IN OUR LAST MEETING WHAT I SEE IS AN OUTRIGHT ATTACK FOR WHAT I CANNOT SEE IS A JUSTIFIABLE REASON.

IT'S REALLY CONCERNING TO ME. WE HAVE BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE PUT IN THAT POSITION BECAUSE WE VALUE THEIR INPUT AND THEIR EXPERTISE. WE LOOK TO THEM TO GUIDE US AND PROTECT THAT AIRPORT. ESSENTIALLY THIS RESOLUTION TO SUSPEND THE BOARD IS A SLAP ON THE WRIST. IT'S AN INSULT TO THOSE BOARD MEMBERS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO HOLD A QUORUM TO CONDUCT BUSINESS UNLESS WE CHOOSE TO APPOINT MORE LAWYERS. TO DO THIS IT SERVES NO PURPOSE WHATSOEVER OF IT THAN TO INSULT THOSE PEOPLE THAT WE PLACED ALONG THOSE BOARDS. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING TALKING ABOUT THE REPRESENTATIVES HERE DOESN'T HAVE LEGAL AUTHORITY. THIS IS MERELY A SUGGESTION ABOUT OUR PARTS AND WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. THIS IS MERELY A POSTURE AND I THINK IT'S DESPICABLE. I THINK IT'S WRONG AND I'M VERY FRUSTRATED BY IT.

THEY DESERVE TO BE TREATED BETTER THAN THIS. I DON'T CARE IF THEY TRY TO SLAP THEIR BOARD MEMBERS BUT I'M APPALLED BY THE FACT THAT WE ARE DOING THE TOWERS.

IT SHOULDN'T BE ON THE AGENDA TO BE CONSIDERED. LISA WAS EXTREMELY RIGHT AND IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE. WE JUST SAY HEY SORRY FOLKS WORKING TO SUSPEND YOU.

THIS IS WRONG. :-) COMMENTS BACK TO THAT IS I WAS HERE.

WE PUSH LIMITS WITH COUNSEL AND WE DEFINITELY LET DOWN THAT PATH OF SUPPORT TO MEMBER THE BOARD AND THE PRESSURE OF COUNSEL. ANY DECISIONS THEY DO ON ANY REPORTS COMES BACK TO US. ONE GOES FORTH AND SAYS I'M REALLY MAD THAT THE BOARD MEMBER CHOSE TO DO THIS AND I WANTED IT. THEY COME BACK TO US AND SAY THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL SET OF PUT ON THE REELECTED BOARD TO ANSWER TO US AND IT'S NOT THE BOARD MEMBERS. WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING THAT WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO DO.

>> WHAT REASON ARE WE DOING THIS? WHAT EFFECT OF THESE BOARD MEMBERS TAKE AGAINST THE CITY THAT MERITS THIS? WHAT IS THE ACTUAL REASON? NO AND IS PRESENT AT THIS. I HEARD THAT WE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT AND IT'S GOOD FAITH. I'VE HEARD THAT WE ARE FRUSTRATED AND I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEM APPROVING SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH.WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED TONIGHT THAT MERITS THE SUSPENSION OF THE SPORT?

>> I HAD SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS BUT COUNSELOR GARDNER HAS TOUCHED EVERY POINT I HAD. QUICK CITIZEN SOMETIMES DON'T SEE BEHIND THE CURTAIN OR THE COUNCIL. LIKE COUNCILMAN GARDNER SAYS WHAT ARE THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS HE HAS? THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW.

[01:45:04]

IN MY OPINION WE DO NOT. >> EVERYONE MAKES US ABOUT THEMSELVES.

THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG. >> WERE TRYING TO BASICALLY SAY LET'S TAKE A STEP BACK AND WORK OUT THE AGREEMENT WITH OUR FINANCIAL PARTNER THAT WE ARE IN THIS AIRPORT WITH. WE CONTINUOUSLY DO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE SAME TIME

BEING CAUSE ISSUES.>> I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. I DON'T LOOK AT THIS AS A SLAP IN THE WRIST. THERE'S BEEN NOTHING BUT CHAOS WITH THIS BOARD.

THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITIES AND WE KNOW VERY WELL WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

WE CAN'T SIT HERE AND PLAY POLITICS CL. >> CAN YOU STATE WE ARE

REFERRING TO? >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN SAY BECAUSE A LOT OF IT IS AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. THERE IS A LOT MORE BEHIND-THE-SCENES.

>>IT IS BEEN CONSTANT CHAOS. I'M JUST SAYING TO PAUSE. PUT POLITICS ASIDE FOR A SECOND. PAUSE AND GET ANYBODY ON THE SAME PAGE.

WE ARE NOT DISAGREEING WITH THE BOARD WERE TAKING AWAY THEIR RIGHT TO SERVE.

I'M JUST SAYING PAUSE THE ACTIVITY WITH THE BOARD. SO THAT WE CAN GET OUR DUCKS IN A ROW AND MOVE FORWARD. JUST PAUSE FOR A SECOND. WE ARE ALLOWING EMOTION AND

POLITICS TO GET IN THE WAY. >> IF ANYONE OF US APPEAR ON THE COUNCIL BELIEVES IT'S NOT OFFENSIVE TO THE BOARD, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK THEM. AS THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT YOU WANT TO SUSPEND IF IT'S DEFENSIVE TO THEM. I HAVE A FEELING THEY WILL

AGREE. >> MY POINT IS YOU WANT TO PAUSE.

THE BOARD DOES NOT HAVE A QUORUM. THEY CANNOT CALL A MEETING.

THIS SERVES NOTHING OTHER THAN A SLAP. >> I DO HAVE A QUORUM.

>> KNOW THEY HAVE SUSPENDED THEIR MEMBERS. >> WHAT IS THIS KEEP OUR BOARD

MEMBERS FROM ACTING? >> I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. I'M LOOKING AT A MAN BACK THERE THAT'S BEEN THROUGH SOME OF THIS. IT'S FROM 2014 2017 AND WE'VE HAD QUITE A LOT GOING ON. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN BETTERED BY THAT.

IT INVOLVED A LOT OF STAFF GETTING RID OF A LOT ACROSS MANY FACETS OF OUR CITY.

NONE OF THEM THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD. I CAN TELL YOU THAT WERE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO TALK ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS AND AIR OUT DIRTY LAUNDRY'S. IN MY 21 YEARS OF SERVICE AND CITY MUNICIPALITY I HAVE NEVER

[01:50:01]

WHAT I DO KNOW IS BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND IT TOOK US THREE YEARS TO CLEAN UP THE MESS. THIS HAS TO BE CLEANED UP. IF BOARD MEMBERS HAVE THEIR FEELINGS ARE AND I'M SORRY. I WILL TELL YOU THAT I DO BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S NEW BUSINESS AT HAND FOR EVERYTHING TO STOP.

IT'S TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN EFFORT QUICKLY I MIGHT ADD.

THERE IS NO REVISION HERE TO CANCEL THE BOARD OR GET RID OF THE BOARD.

THIS WILL HAVE A QUICK ISSUE SO AND THEN WE WILL LIVE IN HARMONY AND YET THE CITY WILL NEED TO KINDA GET ON THE SAME PAGE ESPECIALLY FOR PARTNERS. THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT.

WE DO HAVE THE RIGHT OF A CITY TO DO IT. I THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE GOOD

ONCE WE DECIDE. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY I DO AGREE WITH SOME OF THE SENTIMENTS THAT WERE SHARED. THIS IS A VERY POLITICAL ISSUE WHEN I FIRST GOT A CALL ABOUT IT FIRST TIME. I THINK AT THIS POINT I HAVE A MOTION READY.

>> I STILL WANT TO GO TO EXECUTIVE. >> WE HAVE A REQUEST TO GO BACK TO EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THIS ISSUE ANDI'M GOING TO OWN AND THAT REQUEST .

AND ACCORDING TO SECTION 551 071 LEGAL CONSULTATION WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY WITH ANY AGENDA ISSUED HEREIN AND THAT IS ITEM NUMBER 2023 ? 385. AT 7:52 PM WE AR IT IS EIGHT 20 8:28 PM WE'RE BA EXECUTIVE SESSION. COUNSEL DO WE HAVE ANY

DISCUSSIONS? >> CURRENTLY WE HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD WITH FOUR

SEATS. WHEN DO WE GET THAT MUCH? >> I THINK AUGUST OF THIS YEA.

>> . >> I'M JUST GOING TO REACH PETE WHAT I SAID EARLIER.

JUST HAD A BUSINESS PROJECT WITH OUR PARTNERS. IF YOU ARE A BOARD MEMBER THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. WE HAVE DONE GREAT JOBS AND IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO WORK OUT WITH OUR SUPPORTERS. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY OFFICIALLY ON THE RECORD. THIS IS NOT ABOUT A SINGULAR INSTANCE.

IT'S ABOUT MULTIPLE INCIDENCES. I THINK IT'S GOOD TO JUST TAKE A BREATH AND HUNG AND THAT'S WHAT I RECOMMEND WE DO. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S COMING DOWN TO FOR ME.

>> AND REITERATE WHAT I SAID EARLIER. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE WRONG DIRECTION TO TAKE BUT I SEE NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS WILL ASSIST IN ANY WAY TO PROVIDE ANY

[01:55:03]

>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO DENY. >> I SECOND THAT.

>> I HAVE ABOA MOTION TO DENY A SECOND. PLEASE NOTE.

>> THE MOTION TO DENY FAILS FOR AND THREE. IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE MOTION?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> PLEASE VOTE.

THAT MOTION IS APPROVED FOR AND THREE. MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 2023 ?

[2023-386]

COUNSEL, IF YOU WOULD RECALL AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING THERE WAS A MOTION THAT WAS MADE AND APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY TO HAVE A JOINT WORK SETUP. AND WITH THE JOINT AIRPORT BOARD. JUST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT BEGINS A STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL. THE REASON I BRING THIS BACK TO TONIGHT IS WITH THE ACTION THAT WAS JUST TAKEN I WANT TO CONFIRM WHAT THE COUNCIL THE BEST DIRECTION YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE MOVING FORWARD OR IF THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE IDEA TO MOVE FORWARD.

>> I SAY WE GO FORWARD WITH IT. DON'T SEE A REASON NOT TO ME OUR JOINT BOARD. I THINK IT'S MUCH NEEDED. I WOULD ASK JUST FOR CLARIFICATION WITH THE DEFINED STAKEHOLDERS. WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN AND WHAT

IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. >> WHEN I PUT THE MOTION FORWARD IT WAS IN CONSIDERATION OF THOSE BUSINESSES AT MIDWAY REGIONAL AIRPORT THAT DRIVES INCOME FROM THE AIRPORT.

>> MY ONLY CONCERN WITH THAT IS THE LIST COULD GET EXTREMELY LONG VERY FAST.

THIS COULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO MANAGE A MEETING AS SUCH AND DIFFICULT TO FILL CONSENSUS AROUND IDEAS WITH 50 OR 60 PEOPLE AT THE TABLE. IT'S CAN BE DIFFICULT AS IT IS

ALREADY BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR 7+ AND THOSE FIVE. >> LET ME REPHRASE THAT AND

SAY THOSE THAT RECEIVE 100% OF THEIR INCOME FROM THE AIRPORT. >> DO WE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF

WHAT THAT NUMBER MIGHT LOOK LIKE? >> IN MY UNDERSTANDING I THINK THERE ARE EIGHT PARTIES AT THE AIRPORT THAT RECEIVED 100% OF THE INCOME.

>> I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT AND RESPECT THAT BECAUSE WE NEED THE INPUT AND THEY SEE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON THAT WE DON'T. ARE WE ALLOWING THEM TO BE A

PART OF THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT THAT WE ARE MAKING? >> IT'S HOW THE AIRPORT AGREEMENT AFFECTS THEIR BUSINESS AND WHAT CHANGES ARE BEING PROPOSED THAT WILL AFFECT

THEIR BUSINESS. >> TO THE JUSTICE POINT WE HAVE THEM AT THE MEETING WITH THAT CONVERSATION AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE A PUBLIC HEARING THAT'S CLOSE BECAUSE AT THIS POINT WE ONLY HAVE FIVE. THAT MANY PEOPLE NEGOTIATING AND TALKING ABOUT THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT. ON THAT SAY NOT TO INVITE HIM. WE HEAR FROM THEM AND ASK

QUESTIONS. >> I THINK THAT WHEN WE FINALLY GET DOWN ON WHATEVER THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT AS IS THAT IT WILL GO DOWN TO THOSE VOTING MEMBERS WITH THE

COUNCIL. >> THE 17 INVITED HAVE A QUOTE ON QUOTE SEAT AT THE TABLE FOR THESE WORKSHOPS. I BELIEVE YOUR INTENT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HEAR FROM

[02:00:04]

>> UPSET THERE A LOT OF WORKSHOPS WHERE THEY GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES TO TALK AND SOMEONE COMES UP THERE AND YOU CAN'T TAKE AIRBORNE IMAGING OVER THIS MULTIMILLION DOLLAR OPERATIONAL. IT DRIVES HUNDRED PERCENT OF THAT OPERATION OUT OF THE MIDWAY AIRPORT AND EXPECT THEM TO SUM UP THEIR OPERATION AT HOW THIS IMPACTS THEM IN THREE

MINUTES. >> THE BOARD THAT WE JUST SUSPENDED.

>> THE BOARD OF ACTIVITIES. QUICK SOMETHING NOT JUST AIRBORNE.

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS. >> IT'S WHATEVER ISSUE WE VOTE ON TO MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE DIRECTION AND COUNSEL'S VISION.

THOSE THINGS IMPACT OTHERS WITH LIFE SIZE AS WELL. >> THIS IS A FAR DEEPER AND MORE REGULATED DISCUSSION. WE HAVE THE FAA INVOLVED. WE HAVE BOTH CITIES WITH OUR CONSIDERATION FOR WHAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE. WE NEED TO TAKE THE ABSOLUTE EXPERTS AT THE TABLE TO BE ABLE TO CREATE AN AGREEMENT THAT WE CAN GROW WITH OVER THE NEXT 20 OR 30 YEARS. WE CAN'T JUST SIT DOWN A BUNCH OF US THAT DON'T HAVE THE EXPERTISE AND SAY WE THINK IT'S GREAT TO DO THIS. WITHOUT HAVING THAT INPUT.

IT'S THE ULTIMATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES. >> THE PREVIOUS OR CURRENT AGREEMENT. IT HAS REAL PROBLEMS IN THE SENSE OF HOW WE APPOINT BOARD MEMBERS. HOW THOSE MEMBERS ARE SHOWING A BALANCE OF POWER THAT EXISTS.

I THINK PART OF THE MAIN REACTION GOING ON IS THAT THEY SEE WAXAHACHIE IN CHARGE OF THE AIRPORT FOR THE NEXT SIX YEARS. THEY'VE HAD IT FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.IT'S MAJORITY MEMBERS ON THE BOARD AND THEY ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE AIRPORT MANAGER.

AND I CAN'T TELL YOU THE LAST TIME I SAW THE AIRPORT MANAGER PRESENTING TO THE COUNCIL.

IT HAD CONTROL OVER THIS AIRPORT FOR YEARS. >> WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DOCUMENT THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AMENDING THE TOPIC OF MATERIAL IS VERY MINUTE AND NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED. X THIS IS REALLY DOWN TO MICROSCOPIC ISSUES.

>> I'M GONNA TELL YOU THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THAT'S CAN END UP.

>> WHEN YOU SAY MAKING THE BOARD GO FROM AN ACTUAL REGULATORY AGENCY TO AN ADVISORY AGENCY IT'S MICROSCOPIC. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH YOU.

>> THEY HAVE DECISION-MAKING POWERS THAT ARE IN THAT AGREEMENT.

>> FERNE. >> I WILL PRESENT THAT COMMENT.

THE OVERALL POWER THAT AIRPORT BOARD VESTS PRIMARILY IS IN CHOOSING AND ADVANTAGING THE

[02:05:04]

>> HERE'S THE PROBLEM ON THIS. WE DON'T KNOW. >> WE DO KNOW WHAT WAS PRESENTED AT THE LAST MEETING. KEEP IN MIND THEIR AUTHORITY EXTENDS FROM THE COUNCIL.

>> THERE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE VIEWPORT. >> I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THEY DERIVE THEIR POWER FROM THE COUNCIL. HERE'S A MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE. THE AIRPORT BOARD MANAGES A JOINT ENTITY.

A DUAL OWN ENTITY. IT ALSO MANAGES ONE THAT HAS EXTREME SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PARKS BOARD OR GRANTING MONEY.

WERE TALKING ABOUT LIVES AND REGULATIONS THAT HAVE TO BE UNDERSTOOD IN ORDER TO BE ENFORCED. WE'VE DONE A TERRIBLE JOB OF MAN MANAGING THIS AIRPORT.

. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THEIR AIRPORT AGREEMENT WOULD GREATLY

BE SERVED. >> WHY WOULD YOU SAY WE'VE DONE A BETTER JOB?

>> YOU LOOK AT EVERYWHERE THEIR AIRPORT. YOU LOOK AT THE GROWTH THAT THEY'VE HAD. NEXT I HEAR YOU AND AGAIN I KNOW THE MORE OPINIONS THAT YOU GET AT THE TABLE THE MORE AND MORE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE AND SOLVE THE ISSUES AT HAND.

>> MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE I WOULD LOVE TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THESE VALUES.

BUT ALSO HAVE TIME AND SPACE FOR THE COUNCIL THEMSELVES ALONG WITH THE ADVICE FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD. THAT WAY THEY CAN MAKE A FINAL DECISION.

WE HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THERE UNLESS YOU NARROW THE SCOPE DOWN.

>> WOULD ALSO HAVE TO INCLUDE A MECHANISM FOR BEING ABLE TO ALLOW THEM TO COMMENT AFTER THE WORKSHOP. THERE IS NO TURN OF THE PROCESS WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO

INCORPORATE THESE IDEAS BACK INTO THE SYSTEM. >> FOR CLARIFICATION ARE THESE

BOARD MEMBERS COMING? >> WE WANT TO BOARD MEMBERS TO REPRESENT US.

JUST A QUESTION IF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE SO EXPERT WHY DO WE NOT LEAN ON THEM FOR THE CHANGES WE LOOK AT? THEY'VE DONE WITH EVERYTHING UP TO THE LARGE FAXES.

THEY'VE DEALT WITH THE GLIDER OPERATIONS AND TRAINING OPERATIONS.

WE CAN'T LEAVE THEM OUT OF THIS DISCUSSION. THEY DON'T HAVE A SEAT AT THE BOARD SO THAT IS WHY WE PUT FORWARD THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE AGREED ON.

[02:10:07]

>> WITH A DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN WOULDN'T SIT DOWN OF EVERY PERSON INTENDED .

>> AT 63 STEP PROCESS. >> IF I HEAR HIS COMMENT THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I STILL HEARD THE COMMENT. I PROCESSED IT PRETTY FAST. I UNDERSTOOD AND I'M READY TO

GO. >> WE HAVE A MEETING AND WE TRUST OUR BOARD TO BE THE

REPRESENTATIVE SO WE CAN MAKE DECISIONS AT THAT POINT. >> ARE WE GOING TO APPOINT GATHER TO TTHE OTHER TWO BOARD MEMBERS? I BELIEVE WE HAVE AN APPLICATION RIGHT NOW THAT PETE SAID HE APPLIED. HE IS FROM AVIATION AND WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT APPOINTEE TO THE BOARD AND THEREFORE WE WOULD HAVE HIS EXPERTISE.

>> THIS MEETING IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE RUN IN AN OPEN MEETING FORMAT.

THESE PROVIDE ORDER AND IF WE DON'T THIS IS GOING TO GET OUT OF HAND.

I THINK IT'S FINE TO HAVE CERTAIN PRE-SUBMITTALS AND INFORMATION OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.AT THE END OF THE DAY I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

I FIND THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT TO BE VERY CLOSE TO WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR FOR THAT 8%.

THERE ARE COUPLE OF TWEAKS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. I THINK WHAT'S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN IS WE NEED PROPOSALS. I'M TO BE ABLE TO LOOK REALLY QUICK AND SAY THAT'S NOT CAN HAPPEN. WE MET WITH THE CITY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH OURSELVES ON THE

BOARD. >> . >> I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE IF WE ARE RUNNING THIS IS AN OPEN MEETING FORMAT. TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CALL WITNESSES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. WE CALL SPEAKERS UP IF WE HAVE A QUESTION AND ASKED THEM FOR

THEIR EXPERTISE ON THE TOPICS. >> I THINK THAT'S FAIR. OBVIOUSLY I WOULD HAVE TO GET WITH THE MAYOR ON HOW THIS WORKS. I THINK THAT'S FAIR AS LONG AS IT STAYS IN ORDER. WE WILL PROBABLY PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE COMMENTS.

THAT WAY NOT ONE OR TWO ARE DOMINATING THE CONVERSATIONS. IF THIS GOES THROUGH AND IF IT TAKES PLACE WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFICS AND I WILL ADVOCATE FOR THAT IDEA.

AT SOME POINT I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE HERE. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YEARS AND WE HAVEN'T HAD A JOINT MEETING ABOUT THIS.THESE ARE OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS AND COUNSEL. TO ME THAT'S AN ISSUE. AT LEAST SOMETHING WITH SOMEBODY I WANT TO TALK TO IS HERE. AT SOME POINT I WOULD LIKE IT IF WE COULD JUST TALK AND NOT HAVE THESE. THEY CAN HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS

MEETING GOING FORWARD IN YOUR OPINION. >> A QUICK QUESTION FROM THE LEGALITY SIDE WITH THE POTENTIAL AWESOME BUT THE FORMAT THEY DO HAVE TWO SETS OF QUORUMS AND THEY ARE ASKING TO GO BACK RELATING TO DISCUSS THE APPLICATIONS.

>> HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GET THOSE ANSWERS. I CAN ANSWER THEIR LEGAL

QUESTIONS. >> DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THIS OR DO YOU JUST NEED DAFT

DIRECTION? DO WE NEED TO PUT OUT A SURVEY? >> WE ARE ASKING CHARLOTTE TO PUT OUT A SURVEY TO THE BOARD. NEXT WE DISCUSSED SHOULD HEAR OF PEOPLE AREN'T TOO HAPPY WITH

WHAT COMES OUT. >> I THINK MAYBE THE SURVEY CAN BE GENERAL AND MAYBE IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THE TENANTS BUT IT'S JUST THE TEXT BOX TO GIVE ACOMMENT .

BUT THE GENERAL CALL FOR COMMENTS. THIS IS WHAT THE DEADLINE AS

RAPID AS POSSIBLE. >> COUNSEL I APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION ON THESE ISSUES AND KEEPING IT PROFESSIONAL. WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO

WORKING WITH THE CITY TO GET THESE ISSUES. >> FRANKLY AND RETARDED TALKIN
