          CHRISTOPHER, SO, UH, . 
          MR. AK SPELL JACK? YES, IF YOU'LL, UH, START OFF WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. 
          YES. 
          MY NAME IS CHRIS AK. 
          MY ADDRESS IS 1 0 4 1 2 CHINA SPRING ROAD, SUITE F NUMBER 10 41, WACO, TEXAS 7 6 7 0 8. 
          I'M HERE OUT OF, UH, EXTREME DISGUSTED DISMAY. 
          I MUST SAY IT FIRST BEFORE I START ANYTHING AND YOU'LL SEE WHY. 
          YOU'LL SEE WHY I'M SAYING THIS AND WHY I'M FROM WACO COMING HERE TODAY. 
          I, FIRST OF ALL MY NAME'S CHRIS. 
          I AM A, UM, A PREACHER OF OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. 
          I DO THIS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 
          I DO IT ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS. 
          I DO IT AT UNIVERSITIES 
          [00:05:01]
MANY DIFFERENT PLACES. 
          HOWEVER, TODAY I WANT US TO TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT A DISTURBING PATTERN OF RELIGIOUS AND INTOLERANCE AND BIAS IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS. 
          UM, IT'S CENTERED AROUND NONE OTHER THAN THE IANT MOSQUE OR OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ISLAMIC ASSOCIATION OF NORTH TEXAS. 
          NOW, THIS YEAR IN OCTOBER 25TH, 2025, MOSQUE LEADERSHIP AND RICHARDSON POLICE INTERVENED TO BAN A MUSLIM MAN FROM SPEAKING TO A CHRISTIAN, ME ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK. 
          NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, NOT THREE TIMES, BUT FOUR TIMES. 
          MOSQUE LEADERSHIP OF SOME PEOPLE TODAY THAT ARE IN THIS ROOM ATTEND AND EVEN OUR LEADERS IN MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEKEND. 
          I'LL GET TO THAT LATER. 
          HOWEVER, SADDENING TO ME IS I, I WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK AND THE POLICE AND THE MOSQUES LEADERSHIP HAD INVESTIGATIONS AND TRIED TO FORCE ME TO STOP TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE FOR OVER AN HOUR. 
          IT WAS THE MOST RIDICULOUS DISPLAY OF FIRST AMENDMENT BIAS. 
          IT'S DISGUSTING. 
          YOU, Y'ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. 
          IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS AND SAID NOTHING OR DONE NOTHING, I'M SICKENED BY IT. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. 
          THAT'S NOT THE WORST THING I HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU TODAY. 
          YOU, IT SOUNDS PRETTY BAD, RIGHT? BUT IT GETS WORSE SOON AFTER THIS. 
          A MUSLIM MAN THAT WAS TALKING TO ME WAS ACTUALLY BANNED BY MOSQUE, LEADERSHIP FROM THE MOSQUE FOR TALKING TO ME ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK. 
          AND GUESS WHO HELPED RICHARDSON POLICE THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE, THEY HELPED INVESTIGATE AND BAN A MUSLIM FROM THE MOSQUE, TRESPASSING FROM THE PREMISES. 
          HOW DISGUSTING IS THAT? THEY TOOK TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY, MULTIPLE TIME, AND FOR INVESTIGATIONS OVER TWO PEOPLE SPEAKING ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK. 
          THIS IS ALL HEAVILY DOCUMENTED ON VIRAL MEDIA, WHICH SIR, I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE TODAY OF THAT EVENT HAPPENING. 
          IT'S EASY TO SEARCH. 
          THIS EQUATES TO AN OBVIOUS, OBVIOUS DISPLAY OF THE PROHIBITION OF FREE SPEECH UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS. 
          THE NEXT THING I'M GONNA GET TO IS EVEN MORE EGREGIOUS, OKAY? OTHER CHRISTIAN FRIENDS OF MINE CAME SOON AFTER THIS TO, TO PROTEST THEIR FREE SPEECH ON THIS SAME SIDEWALK. 
          GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? THERE WAS MUSLIM MEN THAT CAME FROM THE MOSQUE ENCOURAGING THEM TO LEAVE FIRST. 
          AND THEN WHENEVER THEY SAID, NO, I'M GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE AND, AND EXERCISE MY FREE SPEECH VERY CALMLY, A YOUNG MUSLIM MAN FROM THE MOSQUE SAID, UH, LET ME GO AND RUN AND GET MY GUN REAL QUICK. 
          THIS IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW. 
          YOU CAN SEE IT. 
          IT'S BEEN TURNED INTO THESE POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. 
          AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? SHORTLY AFTER THAT, A CAR PULLED UP WITH A GUN PULLED ON THESE YOUNG MEN, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. 
          GUESS WAS, WAS INVESTIGATED. 
          GUESS WHAT WAS INVESTIGATED A WEEK BEFORE? FREE SPEECH VIOLATIONS ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK FOR OVER AN HOUR. 
          GUESS WHAT? INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED UP WITH AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON ON OTHER CHRISTIAN MEN ON THE SAME SIDEWALK, NOTHING SICK. 
          YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR BEING PART OF THIS. 
          AND I KNOW MANY OF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS IN THIS ROOM. 
          I'M NOT STUPID. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF MANY OF YOU ARE NEITHER. 
          SO, IN WHAT WORLD IS FREE SPEECH NOT ALLOWED ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK, BUT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPONS? OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IT IS A CORRUPT ONE. 
          LEMME GET TO THIS QUICKLY. 
          THIS MOSQUE HAS PREVIOUSLY HOUSED FUNDRAISING EVENTS FOR TERRORISTS. 
          THE HOLY LAND FOUNDATION WAS OPENED AT THE SAME EXACT LOCATION IN THIS HISTORY OF THIS, IN, IN THIS CITY. 
          WE ALL KNOW THIS. 
          SOME OF YOU PROBABLY LIVED HERE BACK THEN. 
          NOW, MR. MOHAMMAD OMAR SITTING RIGHT HERE, YOUR MAYOR HAS ATTENDED THIS MOSQUE MULTIPLE TIMES. 
          IT MUST BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED FOR HIS TIES TO THIS POLICE CORRUPTION. 
          WHY DO YOU ASK? BECAUSE HE GRADUATED FROM THE RICHARDSON POLICE ACADEMY. 
          WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT THIS GUY HAS TIES TO THE SAME POLICE TRYING TO PREVENT CHRISTIANS FROM TALKING TO OTHER MUSLIMS, BUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON DON'T GET INVESTIGATED. 
          I WONDER WHY. 
          I WONDER WHY. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN GREG ABBOTT. 
          KEN PAXTON, AND PROBABLY AS HIGH AS CASH PATEL TO INVESTIGATE YOU AND YOU WHO ARE SPEAKING AT THE SAME MOSQUE THIS WEEKEND, WHO FUNDED TERRORISM FROM THE HOLY LAND FOUNDATION. 
          THERE WAS ALSO A FUNDRAISING EVENT, MR. IN 
          [00:10:01]
2000. 
          SORRY SIR. 
          YOUR TIME IS THAT SAME FUNDRAISING EVENT. 
          SIR, YOUR TIME IS, TIME IS OVER FOR THE TERRORIST THAT GOT CAUGHT BY THE HOLY LAND FOUNDATION. 
          MR. SAME ON YOU. 
          SAME ON YOU. 
          MR. WOJAK, PLEASE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER. 
          NO FURTHER CARDS, MAYOR. 
          ALRIGHT, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT'S LOOKING TO SPEAK TODAY? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE, WE 
          [5. REVIEW AND DISCUSS FACILITIES NEEDS FOR CONSIDERATION IN A 2026 BOND PROGRAM]
WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE. 
          REVIEW AND DISCUSS FACILITIES NEEDS AND FOR CONSIDERATION IN A 2026 BOND PROGRAM. 
          MR. MAGNER, UH, THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          UH, OUR DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES IN, UH, FLEET WAYNE CORRUM IS HERE TO LEAD THIS BRIEFING FOR US. 
          AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK ROBERT YOUNG, OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF OF, UH, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR BEING HERE AS WELL. 
          UH, THIS IS OUR FINAL DEEP DIVE. 
          UH, IT'LL BE OVER OUR FACILITY NEEDS. 
          UH, UH, NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE, UM, BRINGING BACK A OUR INITIAL RECOMMENDATION TO YOU FOR, UH, FIVE OR PERHAPS EVEN SIX DIFFERENT PROPOSITIONS. 
          UH, YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH, UH, THE PRE PRIOR DEEP DIVES, UH, EACH OF THE PAST THREE TO FOUR WEEKS. 
          AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO CONCLUDE, UH, THIS, UH, THIS INITIAL BRIEFING TONIGHT AND TO REALLY START THE PROPOSITION, UH, REFINEMENT PROCESS NEXT WEEK WITH FOR YOU. 
          UM, I WILL SAY, UH, AS, AS WAYNE GOES THROUGH THIS LIST, YOU'RE GONNA SEE, UH, LIKE YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY QUITE A BIT OF DEMAND. 
          UH, AND AS YOU KNOW, AS WE'VE, UH, BEEN THROUGH THESE PRIOR PROPOSITIONS, UH, THE AMOUNT OF THE $200 MILLION THAT'S, UH, POTENTIALLY REMAINING, UH, IS REALLY STARTING TO DWINDLE. 
          SO, UM, WHAT WE'LL ALSO BRING BACK, UH, FOR YOU NEXT WEEK IS, UM, SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR ALTERNATE FUNDING STRATEGIES FOR SOME OF THE FACILITY, UH, PROJECTS THAT MIGHT, UH, QUOTE BE LEFT ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR. 
          UM, UM, AND SO JUST KNOW THAT AS YOU SEE THIS FULL LIST TONIGHT, UH, THERE'LL BE SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, FUNDING SOLUTIONS THAT'LL BE PROPOSED, UH, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE, UH, THE, THE $200 MILLION BOND PROGRAM FUNDING STRATEGY THAT WE'LL OUTLINE FOR YOU. 
          UH, WAYNE, UH, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, ROBERT. 
          THANKS FOR BEING HERE, AND I'LL TURN IT TO YOU FOR FURTHER BRIEFING. 
          THANK YOU DON. 
          UH, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. 
          MY NAME'S WAYNE CORRUM, DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES OF FLEET. 
          I'M HERE TO PRESENT ON THE 2026 BOND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. 
          UH, WE'RE GONNA TALK, LOOK HISTORICALLY ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN DONE AND CITY FACILITIES OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES. 
          UH, THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT PROJECT UPDATES OF CURRENT PROJECTS FROM THE 2021 BOND PROGRAM. 
          AND THEN WE WILL GET INTO THE PROPOSED PROJECTS FOR 2026 AND THEN FINALIZE THAT WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION AND THEN, UH, GET YOUR NEXT STEPS AND FEEDBACK AT THAT POINT IN TIME. 
          SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS, UH, KIND OF A TIMELINE OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS OR SO OF VARIOUS CITY FACILITIES AND WHEN THEY WERE TOUCHED WITH A CAPITAL BOND PROJECT. 
          UH, I WANT TO CALL OUT A FEW IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA ADDRESS THOSE FACILITIES IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          YOU'LL SEE KIND OF IN THE CENTER BOTTOM PORTION, BOTH FIRE STATION FIVE AND THE SERVICE CENTER THAT WERE BOTH TOUCHED IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS. 
          UH, THOSE ARE TWO FACILITIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO MORE DETAIL ON. 
          UH, YOU'LL ALSO SEE, UH, THE MUNICIPAL COURT BUILDING IN THE UPPER, UH, SECTION THAT'S BEEN TOUCHED TWICE IN 9 19 91 AND 2002. 
          AND THEN THERE'LL BE VARIOUS RECREATION FACILITIES THAT ARE SPATTERED THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, UH, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE DETENTION CENTER AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS, WHICH, UM, IS NOT LISTED HERE, AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT SLIDE. 
          SO THIS IS THE EXISTING BOND PROGRAMS FROM 2021 AND 2023. 
          UH, AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE, LAST MONTH, THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONIES FOR BOTH THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND FIRE STATION FIVE, THOSE PROJECTS ARE COMPLETE AND FULLY OPERATIONAL. 
          UH, IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER, YOU SEE THE PROGRESS BEING DONE AND THE LIBRARY PROJECT THAT'S DUE TO OPEN NEXT YEAR. 
          AND THEN FINALLY ON FRIDAY, YOU WERE THERE FOR THE TOPPING CEREMONY FOR THE, UH, NEW CITY HALL THAT'S DUE TO OPEN ON SCHEDULE IN 2027. 
          SO AS WE LOOKED AT THE 2026 BOND PROGRAM, WE DID RESEARCH AND SOME ANALYSIS ON A MULTIPLE, UH, DIFFERENT ITEMS. AND SO I WANT TO KIND OF OUTLINE SOME OF THAT. 
          UH, ONE OF THOSE IS LOOKING AT VARIOUS FACILITY MASTER PLANS, UH, LIKE THE FIRE MASTER PLAN THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU PREVIOUSLY, AND YOU'LL HEAR THAT REFERENCED IN THIS PRESENTATION. 
          UH, ALSO THE FACILITIES DIVISION DID A, UH, FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSMENT OF ALL CITY BUILDINGS AND THEN RANKED THOSE BASICALLY WITH A GRADE OF A, B, C OR DD, MEANING IT NEEDS WORK DONE IMMEDIATELY. 
          WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE PRESENTATION IN OUR RECOMMENDATIONS IS ALL THE ITEMS THAT SCORE D ON THAT ASSESSMENT. 
          SO, UM, ALSO WE LOOK BACK AT OUR WORK ORDER HISTORY 
          [00:15:01]
INSIDE OF OUR, UH, SERVICE REQUEST SYSTEM AND JUST SOME COMMON THREADS THAT WE SAW THERE. 
          ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANT TO TAKE PRIDE IN WHERE THEY WORK. 
          AND SO WE THOUGHT ABOUT WAYS FOR EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND, UH, AND RECRUITMENT AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO KIND OF ENHANCE THAT THROUGH OUR FACILITIES. 
          AND THEN THE LAST TWO THERE, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY. 
          THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT OF HOW WE COULD RECONFIGURE THINGS TO MAKE THEM MORE FUNCTIONAL OR HOW WE CAN MAKE THEM MORE SAFE. 
          SO THAT'S THE THINGS THAT WE CONSIDERED AS WE BRING THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          SO WE'LL START OFF WITH, UH, THE FIRST CANDIDATE PROJECT, WHICH IS THE FIRE APPARATUS BUILDING. 
          THIS IS, UH, A BUILDING THAT WOULD BE LOCATED BEHIND FIRE STATION FIVE. 
          UH, IT WOULD HAVE THREE LARGE DRIVE THROUGH BAYS THAT EACH BAY COULD HOLD TWO FIRE APPARATUS, UH, IN IT. 
          UM, THIS IS MAINLY TO MOVE RESERVE UNITS OUTTA THE FIRE STATIONS. 
          CURRENTLY, FIRE STATIONS ARE BUILT TO BE DRIVEN THROUGH, NOT BACKED INTO, AND BECAUSE OF THE RESERVE UNITS THAT WE STORE THERE, THEY, THEY'RE HAVING TO BACKEND FIRE APPARATUS INTO THE STATION WHEN THEY RETURN. 
          SO THIS WOULD RELIEVE SOME OF THAT. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, UH, WE HAVE LIMITED SPACE AT THE SERVICE CENTER TO MAINTAIN ALL THE FLEET. 
          AND SO SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO GO TO THE FIRE STATION TO DO THE MAINTENANCE ON THE FIRE APPARATUS. 
          THIS WOULD GIVE US SOME BAYS IN THIS RESERVE BUILDING TO DO THAT MAINTENANCE, THUS FREEING UP THE FIRE STATION FOR WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO. 
          UM, THE SITE WHERE IT'S LOCATED, THERE'S CURRENTLY WHERE PUBLIC SERVICES HAS THEIR DUMPSTER, DUMPSTER STORAGE. 
          THERE IS AN ANOTHER CITY, UH, LOCATION THAT WE CAN MOVE THAT TO. 
          SO, AND THEN THE COST OF THIS PROJECT, $8.5 MILLION. 
          THE SECOND FIRE PROJECT, IT DEALS WITH THE RENOVATION OF FIRE STATION SIX, WHICH HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED SINCE THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS. 
          IT WOULD DO THREE PRIMARY THINGS. 
          IT'D BE IN ADDITION FOR MORE PHYSICAL FITNESS SPACE, AN ADDITION FOR MORE DAY ROOM SPACE FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS. 
          AND THEN THIRD WOULD REPLACE ONE OF THE OLDEST GENERATORS WE HAVE IN THE CITY AND A COST ON THAT 2.1 MILLION. 
          NEXT IS THE FINAL FIRE PROJECT THAT'S, UH, BEING RECOMMENDED. 
          THIS IS, AS YOU ALL WELL AWARE FROM THE FIRE MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION IS THE CREATION OF FIRE STATION SEVEN, UH, JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM HERE. 
          UM, AND, UH, IT WOULD HOUSE THE HAZMAT UNIT, THE BLOCKER UNIT AT THAT LOCATION, AND THEN ALSO KIND OF HELP FILL IN A HOLE IN THE CITY AND IMPROVE RESPONSE TIMES. 
          SO THE FULL ESTIMATED COST FOR THAT IS 25.8 MILLION. 
          UM, AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THAT'S GONNA BE DIVVIED UP HERE IN A, IN A FUTURE SLIDE. 
          AND THEN IN THE OTHER CITY FACILITIES, UH, PRIMARY ONE AT THE SERVICE CENTER, ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES AT THE SERVICE CENTER IS THAT WE'RE LANDLOCKED. 
          WE'RE, UH, ON THREE SIDES OF THE FACILITY. 
          WE'RE ON CITY ROADWAYS, AND IN ONE SIDE TO THE SOUTH, THERE'S A MAJOR BUSINESS THAT'S THERE. 
          SO WE HAVE VERY LIMITED SPACE IN THE YARD. 
          AND SO WE'VE LOOKED AT WAYS TO TRY TO FREE THAT UP. 
          UH, ONE OF THOSE ALSO DEALS WITH OUR FUEL ISLAND, WHICH HAS A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH IT. 
          ONE, THE LOCATION IS NOT VERY OPERATIONAL EFFICIENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YARD. 
          SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING MOVING OF THAT TO BETWEEN THE GATES SO THAT IT ALLOWS EASIER ACCESS FOR POLICE TO COME IN AND FUEL, AND ALSO KIND OF GETS OUTTA THE WAY. 
          RIGHT NOW. 
          IT IS A TRAFFIC JAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SERVICE CENTER MOST OF THE DAY. 
          UM, UH, IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE FUEL TANKS THAT ARE UNDERGROUND, UH, WE'RE HAVING SOME CONCERNS THERE FOR REGULATORY COMPLIANCE WITH TCEQ. 
          SO WE'RE WANTING TO REMOVE THOSE AND THEN PUT IN ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANKS TO MINIMIZE OUR IMPACT, UH, ON THAT. 
          SO, SO THAT'S THE FOCUS THERE WITH THE TANKS AND THE ISLAND RELOCATION. 
          UH, THE ROOF ON THE MAIN BUILDING, THE OFFICE PART AND THE WAREHOUSE IS ONE OF THE WORST IN THE CITY, AND SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF THAT ROOF. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, AS I TALKED ABOUT THE YARD SPACE ISSUE, UH, PART OF THE YARD IS USED UP WITH TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY, POLE YARD, AND THERE IS A SPACE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, UH, BEHIND WHAT WE KNOW CALLS THE MUSTANG BUILDING, WHICH IS A GRASSY SPACE THAT WE COULD FENCE AND PAVE AND MOVE THE POLE YARD THERE, WHICH WOULD THEN FREE UP SPACE FOR US IN THE MAIN YARD FOR EXCESS AND, AND, UH, STORAGE. 
          SO THAT 2.64 MILLION. 
          THEN, UH, AT MUNICIPAL COURT, AS YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ME IN JULY, WE HAD JUST FINISHED A ROOF REPLACEMENT THERE. 
          SO THE ROOF'S GOOD, BUT, UH, THE HVAC SYSTEMS ARE IN TOTAL A NEED FOR REPAIR. 
          UH, WE NEEDED A BOILER NEW CHILLER, A NEW AIR HANDLER. 
          WE NEED NEW, UH, FAN COILS. 
          UH, BASICALLY A WHOLE OVERHAUL OF THE HVAC SYSTEM. 
          SO THAT'S 1.28 MILLION FOR THAT. 
          [00:20:02]
AND THEN AT THE REC CENTERS, WE'VE GOT, UH, A VARIETY OF ITEMS THERE AT THE GYMNASTICS CENTER. 
          UH, WE NEED TO SECURE THE BUILDING ENVELOPE THERE. 
          THE ROOF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 
          THERE'S SOME SEALANT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO THE WALLS, UH, ON THAT FACILITY. 
          UH, THERE'S ALSO, UH, ONE OR TWO ROOFTOP UNITS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED, UH, ON THAT FOR THE HVAC SYSTEM AT THE TENNIS CENTER, WE'VE GOT A DA IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE DONE FROM THAT, UH, OLDER FACILITY. 
          AND THEN A PLUMBING ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IN THE BATHROOMS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. 
          SO 2.6 MILLION ON THAT FACILITY OR THOSE FACILITIES. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, THE DETENTION CENTER. 
          SO THIS WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN, UH, THE, THE SEVENTIES WAS RENOVATED ONCE IN 97. 
          IT WAS NOT A PART OF THE CAPITAL PROGRAM IN 2015. 
          BASICALLY, A SHELL WAS KIND OF BUILT AROUND THE EXISTING FACILITY. 
          SO, UM, YOU'LL SEE IN THE PICTURE HERE, THIS IS THE CONDITION OF THE, OF THE CELLS. 
          SO, AND THE KEY POINT HERE IS NOT JUST THAT THEY'RE, THEY'VE DETERIORATED. 
          WE HAVE IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS GONE IN, UH, SANDED THEM DOWN, REP, PRIMED THEM, REPAINTED THEM. 
          NOW THE CONDITION OF THE SUBSTRUCTURE WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT MOVING FORWARD. 
          SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING RENOVATION OF THE CELLS. 
          SO THE ROOF THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 
          THERE'S ONE HVAC UNIT THAT NEEDS A REPLACEMENT, AND THE SALLY PORT, WHICH IS THE ENTRY TO THE JAIL, HAS A MAJOR PLUMBING ISSUE. 
          AND THERE'S FLOODING THAT OCCURS THERE. 
          SO WE NEED TO CORRECT THAT. 
          ALL THAT TOTAL IS $2.25 MILLION. 
          SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, HERE'S THE SUMMARY OF ALL THE PROJECTS. 
          36.4 MILLION FOR THE THREE FIRE FACILITIES, UH, AND THEN THE FOUR OTHER BUILDINGS, THOSE TOTAL EIGHT POINT, UH, SEVEN, $7 MILLION FOR A TOTAL FACILITY NEED OF $45.17 MILLION CITYWIDE. 
          UM, THE CHART ON THE RIGHT IS FROM YOUR OCTOBER 6TH BLOCKING EXERCISE THAT KINDA SHOWS THERE WAS A DISCUSSIONS OF ALLOCATING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 40 MILLION. 
          SO HERE'S OUR RECOMMENDATION, UH, TO Y'ALL TODAY. 
          UH, FIRST OF ALL, TO FUND 13 POINT $13 MILLION FOR THE FUNDING OF THE THREE FIRE FACILITIES. 
          UH, THE APPARATUS BUILDING THE, UH, RENOVATIONS AT FIRE SIX, AND THEN JUST THE DESIGN PHASE OF FIRE STATION SEVEN TO MAKE SURE IT'S SHOVEL READY. 
          SO THAT YEAR SIX, WE COULD COME BACK FOR, UH, THE OTHER MONEY TO CONSTRUCT THAT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT DUE TO COME ONLINE TILL EARLY 2030S. 
          SO, UH, WITH THAT SAID, DON ALLUDED TO THE UNFUNDED ITEMS, WHICH IS IN THE OTHER FOUR FACILITIES OF $8.77 MILLION. 
          AND AS HE MENTIONED, WE'LL COME BACK WITH A LATER PRESENTATION RELATED TO HOW WE CAN FUND THOSE. 
          SO NEXT STEPS IS, I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR FEEDBACK AND ANY QUESTION AND TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS ON THOSE YOU SAW, THOSE FACILITIES RECOMMENDATIONS BASED UPON FACILITY, WE CAN RANK THOSE HOWEVER WE NEED TO, EITHER BY TYPE OF REPAIR OR BY JUST PRIORITY NEED. 
          UH, BUT WE CAN, UH, REDIRECT THAT PRIORITY LIST BASED UPON YOUR RECOMMENDATION. 
          DON ALLUDED TO THE NEXT STEPS. 
          THIS IS THE LAST OF THE BOND, SEPARATE BOND PRESENTATIONS. 
          UH, NEXT WEEK ON THE 15TH, COME BACK FOR, UH, KIND OF A LOOK AT THE WHOLE GROUP ON A REFINEMENT. 
          THEN ON JANUARY 5TH, A SECONDARY OPPORTUNITY IN A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, TO LOOK AT THE PROJECTS. 
          AND THEN ON JANUARY 12TH, A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN A CONFIRMATION OF GOING TO THE BOND PROGRAM, WHICH THEN LEADS US TO THE BOND PROJECT ELECTION, WHICH YOU WOULD NEED TO CALL ON FEBRUARY 9TH FOR A MAY 2ND ELECTION DATE. 
          AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU, WAYNE MAYOR, PRO TIME HUTCH ANDRAD. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          I, THIS MAY NOT BE A RELEVANT QUESTION ONLY BECAUSE YOU SAID DON HAS, HE'S GONNA BRING THIS BACK LATER. 
          I GUESS MY CONCERNS WERE JUST PURELY, YOU KNOW, DEFERRING THE ROOF REPLACEMENTS. 
          IF WE WERE GONNA DEFER THEM FOR ANOTHER BOND PROGRAM, THAT'S A REALLY LONG TIME TO ALLOW LEAKY ROOFS TO, TO STICK AROUND. 
          SO IF, IF, IF THERE'S ANOTHER PLAN DOWN THE ROAD, WE DON'T NEED TO GET INTO IT TONIGHT. 
          I JUST, I HAD THAT CONCERN IN THE FUEL TANKS, GIVEN THE, UM, TCQ, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF, OF LENIENCY IF, IF WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE TWO, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT POPPED OUT TO ME THAT I KNOW ARE NOT BEING PROPOSED TO BE FUNDED. 
          UM, BUT IF YOU'VE, IF THERE'S A PLAN DOWN THE ROAD, THEN I'LL JUST HOLD THAT FOR NOW. 
          IF, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          EVERY ONE OF THOSE POINTS ARE, ARE EXTREMELY VALID. 
          AND WE WILL, UH, NEXT WEEK WE'LL HAVE A PLAN THAT'S RESPONSIVE. 
          UH, REALLY LOOKING AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES THAT MAY, UM, EITHER WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR OR MAYBE TAKING A TWO OR POSSIBLY A THREE YEAR VIEW, BUT USING DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES TO GET AT SOME OF THE FACILITY PROJECTS THAT LIKELY 
          [00:25:01]
WOULDN'T BE, UH, YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY, UM, TO GET AT THOSE A DIFFERENT WAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBER PER BARRIOS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS. 
          WHAT IS WALL SEALING? WHAT, HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS. 
          SO IF THERE'S ANY CRACKS IN A WALL OKAY. 
          OR IF THERE'S A SEAL WHERE STRUCTURALLY AROUND A WINDOW THAT'S STRUCTURALLY WE HAVE SOME LEAKAGE PROBLEMS AT THE GYMNASTIC CENTER THAT WE'RE REGULARLY HAVING TO KIND OF PATCH. 
          HAVE THOSE BEEN PAST THE BEFORE? HOW LONG HAVE THOSE BEEN WAITING ON? 'CAUSE IT, IT SEEMS ALONG WITH MAYOR PER TOM'S COMMENT, LIKE THE THINGS LIKE ROOFS AND STUFF LIKE THAT SEEMS KIND OF IMPORTANT TO BE PUTTING THOSE OFF. 
          YEAH, I MEAN THEY DETERIORATE OVER TIME AND WE HAVE THOSE, IT, SO TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE DEAL WITH SOME OF THAT, CURRENTLY, UH, EVERY YEAR IN THE BUDGET THERE'S THE FACILITIES MAINTENANCE FUND THAT'S MONEY IS ALLOCATED FOR THAT. 
          LIKE THIS YEAR, UH, THE IQ IS HAVING THEIR ROOF REPLACED. 
          SO WE USUALLY CAN DO ONE, UH, A YEAR WITH THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE THERE. 
          ONE MAJOR. 
          BUT THIS, THERE'S A NUMBER THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. 
          AND SO IT'S NOT THAT THEY WOULD BE PUT OFF TO THE NEXT BOND PROGRAM, IT JUST MEANS THEY'RE DOWN ON THE LIST. 
          THE IQ IS HIGHER ON THE LIST THAN THE SERVICE CENTER, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S CURRENTLY BEING DONE. 
          AND THE SERVICE CENTER'S ON THE LIST, ARE THESE PART OF THE, I GUESS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE, I KNOW FOR EXAMPLE, CAR, WE MAY HAVE IT THREE OR FOUR YEARS RIGHT? IN THE CITY THAT WE KIND OF REPLACE IT THERE. 
          IS IT, ARE THEY ON A REGULAR ROTATING, I GUESS, SCHEDULE? OR IS THIS, LOOK, WE HAVE WATER COMING IN EVERY TIME IT RAINS TYPE SITUATION. 
          SO, UH, NO, I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE WATER COMING IN. 
          SOMETIMES WE MAY HAVE, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS CONDITION ASSESSMENTS OF THE, OF THE ROOF ITSELF, AND THEN WE MAY HAVE A LEAK IN A SMALL PORTION. 
          AND SO WE'VE LOOKED AT LIKE OUR SERVICE REQUEST AND WHERE WE'VE HAD TO CALL OUT A VENDOR TO DO A PATCH AND THEN WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE WATER LEAKING IN. 
          WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT WAY, BUT WE KNOW WE CAN'T JUST KEEP KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. 
          WE'VE GOTTA GO FIX IT HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER FIN. 
          THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          WELL THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ALL THIS, UH, PRESENTATION, UH, INFORMATION. 
          IT'S DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND LOTS OF THINGS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE EVEN WE CAN SAY SOMETHING THAT, YES, I SUPPORT THIS LEAK. 
          UH, I JUST HAVE, LISTEN YOUR RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THE TYPE OF ROOF, WHAT KIND OF LEAK, UH, WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE YOU NEED. 
          BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CIENT THOSE THING AFTER A CERTAIN TIME, YOU DO HAVE TO TAKE OUT THOSE CEILING FROM THE WINDOWS AREA, SOME OF THE, UH, GLASS AREA, RE RESEAL THOSE THINGS SO THAT THAT WILL STAY ANOTHER 20 YEARS. 
          SO, BUT YOU COULD PROBABLY MAINTAIN THOSE THING EVERY YEAR DOING LITTLE, LITTLE THINGS. 
          BUT IF IT BECOMES MAINTENANCE COST GOES REALLY, REALLY HIGH EVERY YEAR. 
          SO SOMETIMES IT MAKES SENSE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. 
          RIGHT. 
          UH, I, I'M, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT'S THE PROCESS YOU GO THROUGH MAINTENANCE VERSUS REPLACEMENT COST, UH, RECOMMENDATION. 
          I THINK THAT'S HOW IT'S COMING ON THE LIST. 
          UH, SO WHAT, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          WHAT TYPE OF ROOF BASICALLY YOU ARE GOING WITH, YOU KNOW, RECENTLY, LIKE, SO THERE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROOFS ON DIFFERENT BUILDINGS IN THE CITY. 
          UM, SOME OF THEM ARE KIND A A, A FLAT ROOF WITH A KIND OF A STONE MAT THAT HOLDS IT DOWN. 
          SOME ARE ARE SOLID STRUCTURES ON THAT THAT ARE COATED. 
          UM, AND THEN WITH VARIOUS DRAIN POINTS ALONG THE EDGE AT, AT THE SURFACE CENTER, IT'S THAT WAY, IT'S A SOLID SURFACE WITH, UH, DRAIN POINTS IN VARIOUS, UH, LOCATIONS. 
          ONE OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE IS THAT THERE'S AREAS WHERE IT'S SLIGHTLY SAGGED AT THE DRAIN POINT. 
          AND SO YOU GET WATER THAT COLLECTS AND WHEN WATER COLLECTS, THAT HELPS DETERIORATE MORE ROOF FAILURES. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO THAT'S SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING. 
          SO, AND, AND AGAIN, ON THE FACILITIES CONDITION ASSESSMENT, WE LOOKED AT EVERY ROOF. 
          WE HAVE SOME ROOFS THAT ARE A, BUT THESE ARE ALL THE ONES THAT ARE D THAT WE NEED TO, YEAH, SOMETIMES IDENTIFYING THE LOCATION OF LAKE ALSO IS CHALLENGE BECAUSE YOU MIGHT SEE WATER COMING FROM ONE SIDE, BUT LAKE MIGHT BE IN TO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLACE, UH, WATER TRAVELS. 
          NOW I'M GLAD THAT MOST OF THE TIME THAT YOU ARE PUTTING RECOMMENDATION, UH, THE HVSE SAME TIME THAT YOU'RE DOING THE ROOF BECAUSE ROOF CAN GET DAMAGE AFTER YOU FIX IT AND YOU PUT THE NEW HVSC MM-HMM  AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TTPO, LIKE THOSE, UH, FINAL THINGS THAT THEY PUT RIGHT, UH, THOSE HVAC UNIT CAN DAMAGE THOSE TPO, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT EVEN KNOW THAT SOMEBODY MADE THAT DAMAGE. 
          AND THOSE PINPOINT LEAK IS SUPER DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY THOSE, SO MM-HMM . 
          YEAH, 
          [00:30:01]
I THINK JUST, WE'LL WAIT FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION INFORMATION. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU. 
          NOW THAT LIKE WE'RE REPLACING THE ROOF AT THE IQ BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN PENETRATIONS IN THAT ROOF MAINLY TO PUT ANTENNA SYSTEMS THROUGH THERE, BUT IT'S CREATES SOME WEAKNESSES AND SO WE'VE GOT IT. 
          THAT'S WHY WE'RE ADDRESSING IT. 
          YEAH, NO, THAT'S GREAT. 
          I THINK, I DON'T KNOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE TYPE OF ROOF IT'S PROBABLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE JUST DON'T WALK OVER THE ROOF BAREFOOT, NOT BAREFOOT WITH THE PINHOLE FOOD AND JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          EXACTLY. 
          THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER DOYEN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, WAYNE, THANK YOU, UH, FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I'VE NOTICED ON THE DETENTION CENTER, UM, THERE'S A SALLY PORT DRAIN REPAIR MM-HMM . 
          AND YOU'VE SHOWN SOME IMAGES HERE. 
          THE, IS THAT, IS THAT BUILDUP CAUSED FROM THE ROOF? 'CAUSE YOU HAVE ROOF REPAIR ON HERE AS WELL. 
          IS THAT CAUSED FROM NO, IT'S NOT. 
          SO THIS IS MORE OF AN UNDERGROUND PLUMBING ISSUE OF DRAINAGE OFF THE SITE. 
          THERE'S SOME OF THE, OF THE DRAIN THAT'S, UH, DETERIORATED AND IS FAILING AND SO IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT'S NOT COMING OFF THE BUILDING, IT'S COMING, UH, FROM LIKE RUNOFF OFF THE PARKING LOT AND STUFF. 
          YEAH. 
          ARE YOU LOOKING AT PUTTING A FRENCH DRAIN THERE OR SOME, SOME SORT? UH, I DON'T THINK WE'VE TALKED TO THE ENGINEERS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE FINAL SOLUTION AT, AT THIS TIME. 
          AND I'M, I'M ASSUMING THOSE REPAIRS CAN WAIT TILL THE BOND ELECTION. 
          POTENTIALLY THEY COULD. 
          OKAY. 
          I MEAN WE, WE, WE CLEAN IT OUT NOW, SO WE'RE PATCHING TOGETHER AS WE GO. 
          YEAH, THOSE ARE KIND OF IMPORTANT IDEAS. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL I JUST, THAT WAS MY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, WE CAN MOVE ON.

          MR. MAGNA, THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          UH, OUR SENIOR PLANNER, DEREK PETERS, IS GONNA LEAD THIS BRIEFING, BUT I WANNA, UH, THANK, UH, TINA FERGUS AND ANDREW BOGAR, DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BEING HERE AS WELL. 
          UH, SUBSEQUENT TO DEREK, HIS, UH, BRIEFING THE APPLICANT, UH, IS HERE AND DOES ALSO HAVE A PRESENTATION. 
          SO, UM, WE CAN, UH, WORK THROUGH BOTH OF THOSE AND THEN, UH, MAYBE ASK ANY QUESTIONS SUBSEQUENT TO THAT. 
          UH, E UH, ERICA, UH, DEREK WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, UH, AFTER HER BRIEFING IMMEDIATELY FILE ON HER BRIEFINGS. 
          DEREK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ZONING FILE 25 17. 
          IT'S A REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 1820 NORTH FLOYD ROAD. 
          THIS IS THE RICHARDSON NORTH JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. 
          THE PROPERTY IS PRIMARILY FRONTED BY FLOYD ROAD TO ITS WEST. 
          THE PROPERTY ALSO HAS FRONTAGE TO ITS NORTHEAST ON NANTUCKET DRIVE. 
          TODAY THE PROPERTY IS R 1100 M RESIDENTIAL. 
          THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE R 1100 M RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. 
          IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXPANSIONS NEEDED TO, UH, ADD THE ADDITION OF THE SIXTH GRADE LEVEL STUDENTS TO THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AS THE JUNIOR HIGH WILL BE TRANSITIONING TO A MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          UH, THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES THERE SOUTH OF CAMPBELL ROAD. 
          AND THEN SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY TO ITS EAST, SOUTH, AND WEST ARE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS. 
          THE PROPERTY IS, UM, THE, THERE IS A ROW OF HOMES THAT BACK UP TO THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE. 
          THOSE ARE SEPARATED BY THE NANTUCKET CREEK BRANCH. 
          THERE'S A ROW OF HOMES THAT BACK UP TO THE CAMPUS TO ITS SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE, AND THOSE ARE SEPARATED BY A UTILITY EASEMENT. 
          HERE ARE PHOTOS OF THE SCHOOL TODAY. 
          THIS IS FIRST SEEN AT THE WEST ELEVATION AS SEEN FROM FLOYD ROAD. 
          THEN THE EAST ELEVATION SHOWS THE UNDEVELOPED AREA OF THAT PROPERTY WHERE THE PRI UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE EXPANSION WILL TAKE PLACE. 
          THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, THE, UM, THEN THERE'S THE NORTH ELEVATION. 
          SO THE SCHOOL WAS FIRST CONSTRUCTED IN 1970. 
          TODAY IT SITS ON 15 ACRES AND IS, UH, 94,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          TODAY THE BUILDING SERVES SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS, BUT THEY WILL INCORPORATE SIXTH GRADERS IN THE 2028 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          IN ORDER TO INC. 
          IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE AN ADDITIONAL GRADE LEVEL, THEY WILL BE PERFORMING A FULL RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND EXPANDING THE BUILDING FROM 94,000 SQUARE FEET TO 228,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          TODAY THE FOOTPRINT YOU CAN SEE AT THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT OF 
          [00:35:01]
THE BUILDING IS SHOWN IN RED. 
          AND THE PROPOSED FOOTPRINT IS SHOWN IN YELLOW. 
          A MAJORITY OF THAT EXP EXPANSION TO THE NORTHEAST WILL BE A NEW GYMNASIUM AS WELL AS A GYMNASIUM THAT ALSO SERVES AS A STORM SHELTER. 
          SO SCHOOL BUILDING IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN ANY ZONING DISTRICT. 
          HOWEVER, UH, THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS DO NOT FULLY COMPLY WITH THE EXISTING ZONING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          THEREFORE, THERE IS A REQUEST FOR THE PD DISTRICT. 
          UM, SOME OF THOSE AREAS ARE PRIMARILY RELATED TO THE BUILDING HEIGHT. 
          SO THE BUILDING IS PROPOSED TO BE 52 FEET TO THE TOP OF THE PARAPET. 
          AND THIS IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING THAT ARE TWO STORIES. 
          SOME PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING, UH, WILL BE SINGLE STORY AND THERE WILL ALSO BE THE GYMNASIUM. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THE CURRENT ZONING LIMITS BUILDINGS THAT ARE ONLY SINGLE STORY TO 25 FEET TALL. 
          SO THERE ARE PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING THAT I MENTIONED THAT WILL BE SINGLE STORY. 
          HOWEVER, THEY WILL LIKELY BE MORE THAN 25 FEET TALL IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROGRAMMING FOR THEIR STUDENTS. 
          UM, ADDITIONALLY, THE CODE LIMITS BUILDINGS THAT ARE NON-RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE TO ONLY 25 FEET IF THEY ARE WITHIN 150 FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. 
          SO THEY ARE SEEKING AN EXCEPTION HERE. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THE SCHOOL MAY BE 52 FEET TO THE TOP OF THE PARAPET. 
          THERE IS NO PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 
          HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS SUGGESTED A CONDITION THAT 170 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED AT MINIMUM. 
          IN ADDITION, THEY'RE SEEKING EXCEPTION TO THE FENCING RESTRICTIONS. 
          UH, THEY WILL BE PLACING A VINYL COATED CHAIN LINK FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD ALONG ALONG FLOYD ROAD TO PROVIDE PERIMETERS, UH, SECURITY FOR THIS CAMPUS. 
          AND THEY'RE ALSO SEEKING AN EXCEPTION TO THE EIGHT FOOT LIMITATION FOR FENCING, AS THEY DO HAVE ATHLETIC FACILITIES ON SITE THAT MAY NEED A HIGHER FENCING FOR THOSE TRACK AND FIELD ACTIVITIES. 
          THE ZONING CODE REQUIRES FOR A NON-RESIDENTIAL USE TO BE SCREENED FROM RESIDENTIAL WITH THE MASONRY SCREENING WALL. 
          BUT THE APPLICANT, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, HAS REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTINUE WITH THE EXISTING CONDITIONS. 
          TODAY, THERE IS NO SCREENING WALL AND MOST OF THE HOMES THAT BACK UP TO THE SCHOOL DO HAVE A WOOD FENCE IN THEIR BACKYARD. 
          AND FOR LANDSCAPING, THE SCHOOL HAS ALSO SUGGESTED A CONDITION THAT THEY MEET THE NON-RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS. 
          SINCE THEY'RE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT, THEY TYPICALLY WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING, BUT THEY ARE PROPOSING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING. 
          AND THAT'S SHOWN HERE IN THE CONS. 
          THE CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE PLAN WHERE YOU SEE STREET TREES WILL BE ADDED AND TREES INTERNAL TO THE SITE. 
          AND HERE THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS, THIS TOP ELEVATION IS THE WEST ELEVATION IS, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'LL SEE FROM FLOYD ROAD. 
          AND THESE INDICATE THAT THE TALLEST POINT OF THE PARAPET IS 52 FEET IN HEIGHT. 
          AND, UH, LATER IN THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION, THEY HAVE SOME GREAT PHOTOS OF THEIR MASSING OF THEIR BUILDINGS AS WELL. 
          OKAY, THE SCHOOL WILL BE OPERATING FROM 8 15 3 40. 
          THEY'LL BE GOING FROM SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS TO ALSO INCLUDE SIXTH GRADERS. 
          THEY WILL BE GOING FROM A STU STUDENT ENROLLMENT OF 592 STUDENTS TODAY TO AN INITIAL ENROLLMENT OF 700 STUDENTS WHEN THEY OPEN IN FALL OF 2028. 
          THEY EXPECT THAT TO RISE TO 1000 STUDENTS MAXIMUM AT MAXIMUM BUILD OUT, WHICH WOULD OCCUR FIVE TO 10 YEARS FROM THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NEW STUDENTS, THE SCHOOL, UH, SAW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECONFIGURE THE ONSITE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION. 
          SO I WILL SHOW HERE ON THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PLAN THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. 
          UH, THIS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PLAN WAS PART OF A LARGER TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC ENGINEERS PRODUCED AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY TEAM TO BEST DESIGN, UM, THE MOST OPTIMIZED CIR CIRCULATION PLAN FOR THIS CAMPUS. 
          SO THERE WILL BE A NEW ADDITION TO THE SITE THAT IS CALLED DRIVE D OFF OF NANTUCKET DRIVE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, THE NORTH NORTHEAST OF THE SITE. 
          A NEW DRIVE WILL BE ADDED HERE THAT WILL FOLLOW ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE SCHOOL ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH THAT WILL BE DESIGNATED FOR SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS. 
          SO PARENTS WILL PICK UP AND DROP OFF THEIR STUDENTS FROM THIS LOCATION WHERE THEY'LL ENTER FROM NANTUCKET DROP OFF AT THE SOUTHERN MOST ENTRANCE ENTRANCE OF THE SCHOOL AND THEN EXIT TO THE WEST ONTO FLOYD ROAD. 
          THEN SIXTH GRADERS WILL BE INSTEAD DESIGNATED TO DROP OFF OFF OF FLOYD ROAD DRIVE C WHERE THERE'S A LOOP ABOVE THE SCHOOL. 
          UH, AND THAT LOOP WILL ACCOMMODATE THE SIXTH GRADERS AND CAN ALSO ACCOMMODATE NOT ONLY SINGLE Q STACKING, BUT DOUBLE STACKING CAN BE ACCOMMODATED THERE. 
          AND THEN BUSES WILL BE DIRECTED TO COME OFF OF FLOYD ROAD AND ENTER 
          [00:40:01]
ONTO THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THE WESTERN ENTRANCE. 
          AND THAT IS LABELED AS DRIVE A HERE. 
          SO, UH, AS PART OF THEIR PLAN AND LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE, IF ANY OF THESE QUEUES DO SPILL OUT ONTO THE PUBLIC STREETS, THE SCHOOL SHOULD CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE ASSIGNMENTS OF THE CIRCULATION PATH. 
          UM, ALSO THE CITY RETAINS THE RIGHT TO REQUEST AN UPDATE OF THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN IF QUEUING DOES EXTEND ONTO PUBLIC STREETS. 
          UH, OVERALL THIS PLAN, WE DO BELIEVE TO BE SUFFICIENT TO ACCOMMODATE ALL STACKING ONSITE DURING DROP OFF AND PICKUP HOURS. 
          WE UNDERSTAND TODAY THAT THAT IS ALL OCCURRING OFF OF FLOYD ROAD AND THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT QUEUING AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS TODAY. 
          SO A LOT OF SPILLOVER TRAFFIC AND QUEUING TRAFFIC AND CARS IDLING ON FLOYD ROAD AND THE SIDE STREETS OF FLOYD ROAD, UH, OCCURRING, ARE OCCURRING TODAY. 
          BUT WE EXPECT THIS DISTRIBUTION AND DISPERSION OF THE TRAFFIC TO ALLEVIATE THAT. 
          AND FINALLY, THERE'S ONE ADDITIONAL UPDATE TO THE PD STANDARDS THAT WEREN'T INCLUDED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT OR THE PACKET, BUT I INCLUDED IN THE ORDINANCE TONIGHT. 
          UH, THAT'S ON PAGE THREE OF THE ORDINANCE IN RED. 
          THAT WAS AN ADDITION THAT WE INCLUDED AS WE REALIZED THEY, AS THE SCHOOL IS UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION, THEY WILL NEED TEMPORARY PORTABLE BUILDINGS TO HOUSE THE STUDENTS. 
          THE ZONING LIMITS THEM TO THREE BUILDINGS. 
          HOWEVER, THEY ARE SEEKING AN EXCEPTION TO ALLOW UP TO 10 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS AS THEY UNDERGO THEIR CONSTRUCTION. 
          THE CITY RECEIVED ONE WRITTEN STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION OF THE REQUEST. 
          THE CITY PLAN COMMISSION VOTED SEVEN OH TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AS PRESENTED. 
          UH, SHOULD THE C CITY COUNCIL ACCEPT THE REQUEST AS PRESENTED, THE MOTION WOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS. 
          THE SITE SHALL BE ZONED PD WITH THE BASE DISTRICT OF R 1100 M AND SHALL BE DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PD STANDARDS, WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN AND WITH THE ELEVATIONS I SHOWED. 
          AND TONIGHT, THE CITY COUNCIL MAY APPROVE THE ZONING FILE AS PRESENTED, AS WELL AS THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED WITH THAT SMALL CHANGE I MENTIONED TO THE PORTABLE BUILDINGS, UH, WITH THE CONDITIONS OF AMENDED, AMENDED TO CONDITIONS OR DENY THE REQUEST. 
          AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? WE CAN LISTEN TO THE APPLICANT AND WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS AT THAT POINT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IS THE APPLICANT HERE? GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS JAMES WATSON, UH, ADDRESS, 400 SOUTH GREENVILLE AVENUE, UM, RICHARDSON, TEXAS 7 5 0 8 1. 
          I AM THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR RICHARDSON, ISD. 
          AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS CASE TONIGHT. 
          I'M GONNA SET A LITTLE BACKGROUND FOR YOU, BUT FIRST I JUST WANNA RECOGNIZE, UH, SOME OTHER FOLKS THAT WERE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO COME OUT HERE AND SUPPORT US. 
          MR. MIKE, ALSO OUR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF OPERATIONS, UH, FOR RICHARDSON, ISD IS HERE AS WELL AS STANTEC ARCHITECTS WHOM CREATED THIS PRESENTATION AND WILL HELP ME, UH, PRESENT THAT TO YOU. 
          TONIGHT IS HERE ALONG WITH OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND CIVIL ENGINEER. 
          SO I WANNA THANK THEM FOR JUST COMING OUT TO SUPPORT US, UH, AS YOU CONSIDER THIS CASE. 
          ALL THAT SAID, A LITTLE BACKGROUND. 
          YOU MAY OR MAY NOT, UH, RECALL BACK IN BEFORE 2021, UH, THE DISTRICT PUT TOGETHER A STRATEGIC PLANNING SUBCOMMITTEE TO TALK GRADE CONFIGURATION, UH, FOR THE FUTURE OF RISD. 
          THE OUTCOME ESSENTIALLY OF THAT SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO MOVE FROM A SEVEN EIGHT MODEL TO A 6 7 8 MODEL, UH, HERE IN RICHARDSON, ISD, WHICH IS, UM, THE, THE, THE MODEL THAT'S LARGELY USED ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS BY FAR. 
          UM, THAT SAID IN JANUARY OF 2021, THE RICHARDSON ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED A RESOLUTION, UH, TO ADOPT THAT, UH, GREAT CONFIGURATION MODEL. 
          AND SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE US IS REALLY THE EXTENSION. 
          IT STARTED IN THE LAKE HIGHLANDS COMMUNITY WITH FOREST MEADOW MIDDLE SCHOOL AND LAKE HIGHLANDS MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          UM, AND NOW WITH THE RECENT PASSAGE OF THE 2025 BOND PROGRAM BY THE VOTERS, UH, WE HAVE SIX MORE, UH, TRANSFORMATIONS, WE CALL THEM ON, ON OUR SIDE, UH, TO DO THREE OF WHICH ARE IN THE CITY OF RICHARDSON. 
          THREE MORE IN THE CITY OF DALLAS. 
          SO THIS, UH, IS THE FIRST ONE IN THE CITY OF RICHARDSON, YOU'LL SEE. 
          AND, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL, WE'LL BRING IN VERY SOON TWO MORE, UH, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. 
          SO ALL THAT SAID, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE, UH, WE STATED THAT UP FRONT. 
          THIS IS NOT ABOUT CAPACITY OR, UH, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          THIS IS LITERALLY A TRANSFORMATION TO, UH, MEET THAT BOARD RESOLUTION TO, UH, CHANGE OUR GRADE CONFIGURATION FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL MODEL. 
          [00:45:01]
UH, SO ALL THAT SAID, WE WOULD, WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THIS, UH, THIS PRESENTATION FOR YOU QUICKLY, UH, AND THEN HAVE ROOM, UH, OR TIME RATHER AT THE END FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR US.

          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, JAMES. 
          HE SAYS QUICKLY, 'CAUSE I CAN MAKE THIS STRETCH OUT AS LONG AS I WANT TO, BUT ON THE B ON FOR YOU GUYS, I'LL KEEP THIS GOING. 
          UH, MY NAME IS BRETT HOLLEY. 
          MY ADDRESS IS 2 7 1 7 PRAIRIE CREEK COURT IN PLANO. 
          MADE A JOKE AT, AT UH, CPC. 
          I LIVE ON JUST THE WRONG SIDE OF GEORGE BUSH. 
          I DID USED TO LIVE IN RICHARDSON AND I REGRET SELLING MY HOUSE ON THE HEIGHTS SO MANY YEARS AGO, BUT HERE WE ARE. 
          UM, IT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS AND PEOPLE WANNA STAY WITH YOU NOW. 
          UM, SO I'M WITH STANTEC ARCHITECTS DESIGN FIRM FOR RICHARDSON, ISD. 
          SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR LISTENING TODAY. 
          THIS IS A PRESENTATION THAT WE RAN THROUGH WITH STAFF COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          SO THERE'S GONNA BE SOME REDUNDANT SLIDES IN HERE, BUT AGAIN, TRYING TO GET THROUGH THINGS QUICKLY FOR Y'ALL. 
          UH, SO WE KIND OF HAD SOME WELCOMES. 
          SO GUIDING PRINCIPLES. 
          SO WHEN WE START DESIGN, AND THIS IS PROBABLY UNIVERSALLY TRUE FOR ARCHITECTS, BUT WE LIKE TO START WITH GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE AND GETTING TO KNOW THE PLACE IN WHICH WE'RE DESIGNING FOR. 
          NICE THING ABOUT EXISTING CAMPUSES IS THAT THEY OFFER A WEALTH OF CONTEXT AND HISTORY FOR US TO DRAW ON. 
          UM, AND GATHERING PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          COACHES SITTING DOWN THERE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER. 
          SHOW OF HANDS, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY OR WENT TO, UH, NORTH BY CHANCE? NO. 
          NO. 
          MAYBE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, IT IS A, IT IS A SCHOOL WITH A LOT OF RICH HISTORY AND SOME INTERESTING TIES, LONG-TERM TIES TO THE CITY OF RICHARDSON. 
          UM, AND SO THESE ARE, I WON'T READ THESE, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT GOT, THAT WE HEARD OUT OF THOSE, THOSE USER GROUP MEETINGS. 
          SIDE OVERVIEW. 
          SO I THINK DEREK HAD COVERED THIS REALLY, REALLY WELL. 
          SO I WON'T BE LABORED TOO MUCH ON THIS, BUT THE BIG BLOCK THAT YOU SEE, UM, AT THE BOTTOM AND THEN WATCH UP ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER. 
          SO AS WE DO THIS, UM, KIDS REMAIN ON CAMPUS AS WE DO THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE TO DESIGN THE BUILDING IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THE STUDENTS AND STAFF TO STAY ON CAMPUS AND HAVE LOGICAL BREAKS IN WHERE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS AND WHERE THE KIDS ARE LEARNING AND WHERE STAFF ARE SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THEM SAFE. 
          SO A LOT OF THE DESIGN HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THAT CONSTRUCTION PHASING TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAMPUS CAN REMAIN OPEN. 
          BUT AGAIN, CREATING THOSE NEW TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PATTERNS THAT DEREK BROUGHT, UH, BROUGHT UP AND MENTIONED THAT MAKE THE CAMPUS FUNCTION A LITTLE BIT BETTER FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ADDING CAPACITY TO THE SITE. 
          UM, AND SO A LOT OF THAT CONSTRUCTION IS FOCUSED ON THE NORTH SIDE. 
          I DO WANNA POINT OUT THIS GREEN BUBBLE. 
          SO THE NEW MAIN ENTRY, IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CAMPUS, THAT MAIN ENTRY IS ACTUALLY ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS VERY STRANGE BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST PLACE YOU STOP AT WHEN YOU PULL ONTO THE SITE, WHICH REALLY LIMITS THAT QUEUING ON THAT FRONT LANE. 
          SO WE WANNA DRAW PEOPLE INTO THE SITE. 
          UM, WHERE THAT BOX IS NOW IS WHERE THE LIBRARY BUILDING KIND OF STICKS OUT TOWARDS FLOYD. 
          SO REALLY CUTTING OFF THAT PORTION OF THE BUILDING AND STEPPING IT BACK, GIVING US A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIEF FROM FLOYD, THAT GIVES THAT BUILDING A LOT MORE SETBACK AND JUST ALLOWS IT TO BE APPRECIATED BETTER FROM FLOYD INSTEAD OF KIND OF HITTING THESE CHUNKY MASSES. 
          UM, AND THEN SECONDARY ENTRANCES, BOTH FOR THE CAFETERIA AND THEN FOR AFTER HOURS USE. 
          I'LL ALSO USE SOME PRETTY PICTURES AND A LITTLE BIT THAT'LL MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE WHEN I DO. 
          HERE'S THAT MASSING. 
          SO AGAIN, UM, THAT OLD PORTION OF THE BUILDING, THAT CENTRAL COURTYARD, BEAUTIFUL LIVE OAKS IN THAT COURTYARD, AND THEN MOST OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTION, THE DEMOLITION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION AND HAPPENING TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT, ALL OF THAT EXISTING BUILDING DOES GET RENOVATED SO THAT IT ALL LOOK AND FEELS LIKE ONE NEW BUILDING TOGETHER AND NOT KIND OF OLD VERSUS NEW, BUT YOU CAN START, YOU CAN START TO SEE THAT STEPPING BACK OF THE MASS FROM FLOYD WITH THE, UH, ADDITIONS RENOVATIONS. 
          SO FLOOR PLANS, UM, SO I'LL KEEP THIS REAL TIGHT, BUT THE BLUE AREAS, UH, ON THE BOTTOM SIDE, THERE'S MOSTLY THE ACADEMIC AREAS. 
          UM, IT'S DESIGNED FOR CLASSROOMS TODAY SO IT MAKES SENSE FOR IT TO STAY CLASSROOMS IN THE FUTURE. 
          UM, THERE'S JUST A LOT LESS REWORK IN TERMS OF MECHANICAL AND STRUCTURAL SUPPORT TO MAKE IT DO SERVE THAT PURPOSE THAT IT SERVED FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS. 
          RED IS YOUR NEW MAIN ADMIN. 
          SO AGAIN, THAT FRONT OF THE BUILDING, STEPPING BACK, PULLING THAT ADMIN FURTHER TO THE NORTH SO THAT WE GET MORE QUEUING AND STACKING ON SITE. 
          THAT YELLOW BOX IN THE MIDDLE IS THE LIBRARY. 
          FIRST THING YOU SEE AS YOU WALK IN LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER. 
          UM, VERY INTERESTING BIG OPEN SPACE. 
          UH, AND THEN AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY BACK INTO THE GREEN AREA, THAT'S NEW FOOD SERVICE, NEW KITCHEN, THOSE ARE ALL STAYING IN THE SAME AREAS THAT THEY'RE AT NOW. 
          SO THERE'S REALLY NOT RELOCATION OF KIND OF THE DIRTY SIDE OF HOUSE TO THE, SO THERE'S NONE OF, THERE'S NONE OF THAT NEGOTIATING OF KIND OF THE, THE INTRICACIES OF THAT. 
          AND THEN AS YOU GO NORTH, THE ORANGE IS ALL, IS ALL ATHLETIC. 
          SO YOU'VE GOT THE MAIN COMPETITION GYM AND THEN THE SMALLER GYM, WHICH DOES SERVE AS A STORM SHELTER THAT DEREK HAD MENTIONED. 
          AND THEN ALL OF THE PURPLE THAT YOU SEE IS REALLY THE FINE ARTS OR BAND, CHOIR, ORCHESTRA, DANCE, BLACK BOX, ALL THESE THINGS THAT BECOME BIG, UH, VOLUME SPACES THAT WE WANNA KIND OF KEEP AWAY FROM THE ACADEMIC SPACES AND QUIET VERSUS LOUD AND KIND OF BUFFER THOSE THINGS WITH LIBRARY AND KITCHEN IN THE MIDDLE. 
          UH, AND THEN SECOND FLOOR, AGAIN, MOST OF THAT EXISTING AREA IN BLUE ON KIND OF ON THE SOUTH SIDE WHERE THE COURTYARD IS, UM, STAYS NOT THE SAME BUT IS SERVING THE SAME. 
          PURPOSE IS STILL ACADEMICS OVER THE NEW MAIN ENTRY. 
          WE'VE GOT NEW CTE CAREER AND TECHNICAL 
          [00:50:01]
EXPLORATION SPACES OR EDUCATION, UM, SPACES THAT KINDA LOOK OUT OVER THE MAIN BUILDING ENTRY THAT CREATE A NICE OPPORTUNITY. 
          BIG GLASSY LOOK INTO SPACES. 
          UH, AND THEN ON THE, THE PURPLE THAT YOU SEE THERE IS REALLY THE, THE ART SPACES. 
          SO 2D 3D ART CLASSROOMS. NICE OVERLOOK INTO A BEAUTIFUL COURTYARD AREA. 
          SO PRETTY, SO NEW FRONT DOOR OFF OF, UM, OFF OF FLOYD. 
          SO YOU'RE STILL STANDING, YOU'RE NOT, I'M NOT IN FLOYD. 
          I'M IN ONE OF THE PARKING SPACES OFF OF THAT MAIN DRIVE. 
          UM, SO STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE LANGUAGE THAT REFLECTS, I HAVE A WHOLE PRESENTATION WHERE I COULD TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHY THINGS ARE, WHY THEY LOOK ON THIS BUILDING. 
          UM, BUT STARTING TO PULL IN SOME OF THAT VIKING HERITAGE. 
          JUST SOME OF THE ICONOGRAPHY THAT REALLY GOES ALONG WITH THAT. 
          THE WARM WOOD TONES, THE VERY VERTICAL NATURE OF THINGS. 
          THAT BIG WINDOW ABOVE IS THE, UH, THOSE ARE THE CT SPACES YOU LOOK, YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOOKING INTO. 
          AND THEN THE ENTRANCE TO THE SECURE MAIN VESTIBULE. 
          UM, DOWN BELOW THIS IS THAT NEW SORT OF PUBLIC PRIVATE COURTYARD. 
          SO THE INTERNAL COURTYARD, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO INVITE THE COMMUNITY INTO THAT COURTYARD 'CAUSE YOU GOTTA WALK 'EM THROUGH THE BUILDING. 
          SO THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES THIS CAMPUS DOES THAT ARE REALLY GREAT. 
          SO TO CELEBRATE THEM, PULLING THEM INTO THIS COURTYARD THAT'S SECURE DURING THE DAY WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE, BUT OPEN AND AFTER HOURS WHEN IT WANTS TO BE, UM, TO ALLOW THOSE ACTIVITIES TO HAPPEN SAFELY. 
          UH, AND THEN JUST SHOWING THIS CONNECTION TO THE, UH, CAFETERIA. 
          UM, AND THEN THE AFTER HOURS ATHLETICS ENTRY, THERE'S LONG PROTECTED CANOPY. 
          SO DURING RAIN THERE'S LOTS OF GREAT COVER FOR KIDS TO WAIT OUTSIDE, UH, FROM GOING BACK TO THE MAIN ENTRY. 
          SO YOUR BACK IS LOOKING IS, IS, IS BACK TO THE MAIN ENTRY, FLOYD. 
          UM, SO LOOKING INTO THAT LIBRARY SPACE, UH, THE CONNECTION TO THE OLD BUILDING ON THE RIGHT, YOU CAN TELL, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO KNOW THAT'S THE OLD BUILDING UNLESS, YOU KNOW. 
          AND THEN WALKING DOWN THAT HALL TO THE, TO THE CAFETERIA. 
          SO INSIDE THE MEDIA CENTER SPACE, THAT BLACK AREA, THOSE WINDOWS, THAT'S ACTUALLY THE OLD EXISTING FACADE THAT YOU CAN'T SEE RIGHT NOW 'CAUSE IT'S HIDDEN BY THIS REALLY TINY NARROW COURTYARD THAT NOBODY GOES IN. 
          UM, AND THEN CONTINUING TO, UH, THE CAFETERIA. 
          SO BEAUTIFUL PLATFORM FOR THOSE FINE ARTS EVENTS TO OCCUR ON THE CAMPUS WHEN THEY DON'T GO TO PLACES LIKE J JJ PIERCE THAT HAVE A NICE BEAUTIFUL AUDITORIUM SPACE. 
          UH, AND THEN INSIDE THAT EXISTING BUILDING, WE'RE TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CARVE OUT SOME SPACE FOR RELIEF. 
          YOU KNOW, AS YOU WALK THROUGH THOSE WALLS, YOU DON'T GET A NATURAL SENSE OF DAYLIGHT OR A DIRECT VIEW TO DAYLIGHT AS YOU WALK AROUND. 
          WHAT WE'VE KIND OF AFFECTIONATELY STARTED CALLING THE DONUT, THE OLD PART OF THE BUILDING. 
          UM, SO OPENING THOSE AREAS UP TO LOOK OUT INTO THAT AMAZING COURTYARD WITH THE AMAZING TREES TO GET THAT SO THE KIDS CAN HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THESE THINGS AS THEY WORK AROUND THE BUILDING. 
          UH, AND OPENING THOSE UP FOR BI-LEVEL COMMUNICATION SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE SMALL GROUP LEARNING, LARGER GROUP LEARNING DOWN BELOW, ALL WITH THOSE GROUP VIEWS TO THE COURTYARD. 
          AND WELL, THIS IS NOT SO IMPORTANT ANYMORE, BUT THIS IS WHERE I WOULD TELL YOU AS A NON, AS A NON-SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE TO GO VOTE FOR THE BOND. 
          UM, BUT THAT BOND IS THANKFULLY PASSED. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, GREAT GROUP IN THE CITY OF RICHESON THAT VOTES WELL FOR BONDS AS YOU GUYS WELL KNOW. 
          SO HERE WE ARE REALLY HOPING TO START THAT CONSTRUCTION MAY OF 26TH. 
          WE ACTUALLY JUST HAD, UM, SOME OF OUR PHASING MEETINGS WITH THE PRINCIPAL TODAY TO REALLY GO OVER THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF HOW WE'RE GONNA MOVE KIDS AROUND THE CAMPUS. 
          UM, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT AND I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, AND I, DEREK HAS SLIGHTLY ADDRESSED IT, WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE, THE TRAFFIC FLOW AND THE ABILITY FOR US TO COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, LET'S, LET'S TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF IT DOESN'T WORK WELL. 
          UM, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THE THOUGHT WAS FOR THE DISTRICT TO PUT SEVENTH AND EIGHTH ON A STREET THAT CURRENTLY DOESN'T HAVE AN ENTRANCE, UM, VERSUS HAVING THEM USE THE TRADITIONAL ENTRANCE AND THEN PERHAPS PUTTING A THIRD OF THE STUDENTS ONTO A NEW STREET. 
          CAN YOU TALK AT ALL ABOUT WHY THAT DESIGN CHOICE WAS MADE? I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. 
          THERE'S A SHARP CURVE RIGHT THERE, AND I THINK THE IDEA IS TO GET 'EM ONTO CAMPUS AND STACKING ON CAMPUS VERSUS ON NANTUCKET. 
          UM, BUT WHY THE CHOICE TO PUT SEVENTH AND EIGHTH BASICALLY TAKING TWO THIRDS OF THE STUDENTS INTO A NEW BRAND NEW ENTRANCE? YEAH, I, I THINK THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE. 
          IT'S THE TWO THIRDS, ONE THIRD, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE AND THE LENGTH OF THOSE DRIVES, ONE IS JUST SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER THAN THE OTHER AND REPRESENTS THE GREATER OPPORTUNITY TO STACK MORE MM-HMM . 
          AND SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT DROVE THE LOGIC FOR WHY IS IT SEVENTH AND EIGHTH VERSUS SIXTH AND SEVENTH OR EIGHTH AND SIXTH. 
          I, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S NECESSARILY IMPORTANT SO MUCH AS TWO THIRDS OF THE POPULATION. 
          AND IT'S JUST HOW YOU CAN, HOW THE, HOW A SCHOOL CAN COMMUNICATE THAT TO ITS PARENTS THAT THEY'RE, THAT THEY'RE GONNA LISTEN OR UNDERSTAND. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'S ONE WAY TO DO IT IS TO GO, IF YOU'RE A SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADER MOM, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO DROP THEM OFF UP THERE. 
          CLEARLY IF YOU'VE GOT A SIXTH GRADER WITH AN EIGHTH GRADER IN THE CAR, YOU'RE GONNA LET THEM OUT WITH THEIR, WITH THEIR BROTHER OR SISTER OR WHATEVER. 
          UM, BUT IT'S JUST ABOUT GETTING THAT STACKING THAT STACKING LENGTH ALONG THAT ENTRANCE. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE BIGGEST STACKING LENGTH IS TO GET IT OFF THE STREET. 
          YEAH, I GET THAT. 
          I THINK MY CONCERN IS WE'RE TAKING A LOT MORE TRAFFIC OFF OF FLOYD AND PUTTING IT ONTO A STREET THAT WE'VE NOT PRESSURE TESTED IN THIS MANNER. 
          AND SO THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THAT OUR TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT AND RISD WILL COMMUNICATE WELL AND WE CAN HANDLE THAT. 
          UM, BUT THAT, WHEN I LOOKED AT THIS OVER THE WEEKEND, THAT WAS REALLY CONCERNING FOR ME. 
          THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE HOA RIGHT THERE AND STRAIGHT INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND I GET EVERYTHING ELSE IS, BUT IT'S, IT'S SORT OF USED TO IT, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN. 
          AND SO, 
          [00:55:01]
YOU KNOW, I WOULD JUST SORT OF CAUTION, I GUESS, THE RISD FOLKS TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THIS AND COMMUNICATE WELL. 
          UM, I KNOW YOU ALL WILL AND WORK WITH OUR TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT, BUT THAT WAS, THAT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNING TO ME, UM, LOOKING AT IT OVER THE WEEKEND. 
          UM, BUT I, BUT I, I DO APPRECIATE THAT IT'S DESIGNED TO TRY AND STACK ON CAMPUS VERSUS ON TO NANTUCKET. 
          UM, AND SO PERHAPS THAT'LL HELP. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, DWAYNE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          UH, GREAT SCHEMATIC BY THE WAY. 
          IT'S, UH, DEFINITELY A, A, A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT TO THE SPACE. 
          SO I DO LIKE THE DESIGN. 
          I JUST HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT WERE MENTIONED EARLIER, JUST SO I CAN UNDERSTAND IT A LITTLE MORE. 
          SO, UM, YOU MENTIONED THEY'RE PUTTING IN LIKE A SCREENING WALL. 
          UH, IT, I, I HEARD CONCRETE, UH, A CMU WALL AND ALSO, UH, LIKE A VINYL SECTION WALL. 
          WHERE, WHERE ARE THOSE GOING AGAIN? SURE. 
          LEMME BACK UP TO THE, THE SITE PLAN HERE. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          I THINK THIS WILL WORK. 
          SO ONE OF THE ITEMS IN THE PD WAS THE EIGHT FOOT CHAIN LINK. 
          UM, SO CLEARLY WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UH, DISCUS AND SHOT PUT WHERE YOU NATURALLY WANT A CAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE HIGHER THAN SIX FOOT IN ORDER TO BE SAFE. 
          BUT AS FAR AS CREATING A SECURE BOUNDARY ON FLOYD FROM THE TRACK AND FIELD AREA, WE WILL BE PUTTING THAT VINYL COATED CHAIN LINK FENCE ALONG THAT, THAT SECTION OF THE SITE. 
          IT DOES NOT CONTINUE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SITE. 
          WE WANT, WE WANT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE BUILDING TO LOOK WHITE, WELCOMING AND INVITING MM-HMM . 
          BUT WE DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE STAY OFF THE FIELD WHEN THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE FIELD. 
          SO THAT'S ONE COMPONENT TO THAT. 
          AND I'M, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION THAT YOU WERE ANSWERING SPECIFIC OR ASKING SPECIFICALLY. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT WELL, YES. 
          UH, SO QUESTION A, SO RIGHT THERE ON FLOYD, WHERE, WHERE TRAFFIC PICKS UP FOR, UH, THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH GRADERS, GET THAT CHAIN LINK FENCE THAT'S GONNA RUN AROUND THE CORNER THERE, UH, ALONG THE SIDE OF THE, UH, TRACK FIELD. 
          LET'S SEE IF THIS, YEAH. 
          SO IT, IT KIND OF CONNECTS BACK UP HERE. 
          IT COMES DOWN AND THEN TURNS. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THAT JUST GONNA BE A TRADITIONAL CHAIN LINK FENCE, OR IS IT GONNA BE BLACK? BLACK OR IT'S GONNA BE BLACK. 
          OKAY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          I THINK THAT BE, AESTHETICALLY, THAT WOULD LOOK REALLY NICE. 
          WHERE DOES IT TRANSITION OVER TO THE CMU BLOCK? UH, SO THERE IS NO CMU, UM, SCREENING WALL PER SE. 
          UH, BUT WE DO HAVE DUMPSTER SCREENING WALLS THAT ARE CLAD AND BRICK KIND OF ON THE BACKSIDE HERE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          WHERE THE SERVICES AR SERVICE AREAS ARE. 
          UH, I THINK WHAT DEREK WAS MENTIONING BEFORE, AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THERE ARE SOME REQUIREMENTS IN THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT FOR MASONRY SCREENING MM-HMM . 
          BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. 
          SO THERE IS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE AREA BACK HERE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SCREENING TODAY. 
          AND SO IT WASN'T PLANNED TO HAVE ANY SCREENING AND IT'S, IT'S MOSTLY SCREENED BY THE CREEK AREA. 
          UH, AND THEN DOWN AS YOU GO DOWN HERE, MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVE WOOD FENCES AND THE, THE, THE, UM, ALLEYWAY DRIVE IS JUST OPEN TO THE SCHOOL PROPERTY. 
          YEAH. 
          I SAW SOME PEOPLE WALKING DOGS, LIKE DOWN THE ALLEY AND THEN ONTO THE SCHOOL AND THEN KIND OF DOWN DEPLOYED. 
          YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          I MEAN, BASICALLY THAT IS AN ALLEY. 
          YEAH. 
          . 
          YEAH. 
          UM, AND OVER TO THE LANDSCAPING, AGAIN, UH, IT'S ARE, ARE, BY THE WAY, I LOVE THE COURTYARD AREA WHERE THE, UH, YOU'RE KEEPING ALL THE TREES. 
          I THINK THAT'S, UH, UH, INVALUABLE. 
          UH, WHAT ABOUT THE FRONTAGE PORTION OF THE LANDSCAPING? IS IT GOING TO, HOW ENHANCED IS IT GOING TO BE? SO THAT'S, AND IS IT GONNA BE SUSTAINABLE? THOSE ARE TWO QUESTIONS. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          SO I'LL ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION FIRST. 
          'CAUSE THAT ONE'S EASY. 
          YES. 
          IT'LL BE SUSTAINABLE BECAUSE THESE GUYS HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WITH EVERY DOLLAR THEY GET. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND THOSE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DO IN TERMS OF PLANTING HAS TO BE ULTIMATELY SUSTAINABLE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO MANAGE THAT, UM, WITH FORCES AND, AND, AND A LOT OF WATER. 
          SO THEY WILL BE SUSTAINABLE, THEY WILL BE ZERO SCAPE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY. 
          UM, AND SO PART OF THE PD, I THINK THERE WAS NO REQUIREMENT FOR LANDSCAPING. 
          UM, AND WE WANTED TO FOLLOW THE CITY STANDARDS FOR WHAT THAT WOULD'VE BEEN IN DIFFERENT AREAS. 
          AND SO WE'RE MATCHING THAT. 
          SO, SO TREEING ALL THE WAY DOWN, FLOYD, THERE ARE SOME SETBACK AREAS FOR SIDEWALK FROM THE BACK OF CURB, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WHERE WE CAN, WE WILL, UM, AND I THINK THOSE ARE ENUMERATED IN THE PD AS WELL, BUT IT, IT'LL BE SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED FROM WHAT IT IS TODAY. 
          SHELBY IS A COMBINATION OF SOFT SCAPING AND, AND HARDSCAPING. 
          MM-HMM. 
          I MEAN, MORE ON, I MEAN, LOOKING AT THE BUILDING, IT, IT REALLY DRIVES MORE OF AN ARCHITECTURAL LANDSCAPING EFFECT, UH, AT LEAST FOR THE DRIVE BY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO I JUST WAS WONDERING HOW I, IT'S NOT, I KNOW IT'S NOT SHOWN HERE, AND WE'RE NOT GOING INTO DESIGN TONIGHT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE, ARE KEY POINTS, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GONNA DESIGN SOMETHING THIS NICE, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THE DRIVE-BY BILL, IT'S THE PLIGHT OF THE ARCHITECT IS, AND THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT IS THAT WE WANNA SHOW PEOPLE THE BUILDING, BUT THEY WANNA SHOW PEOPLE WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE AT 30 YEARS WHEN THE BUILDING IS GONE. 
          EXACTLY. 
          AND IS OVER GROW MUCH. 
          IT'S A, IT'S, IT'S A PROBLEM. 
          IT, EXACTLY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          I I WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO SOME OF THE MATERIALS. 
          I'M WASTING OUR TIME ON THAT TONIGHT, SO, BUT GOOD SELECTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER BAREZ. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE SIMILAR TO, UM, FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          COUNCILWOMAN JUSTICE BROUGHT UP THE, UH, TRAFFIC. 
          UM, THAT IS A CONCERN OF MINE. 
          I GUESS, WHAT ARE WE, HOW ARE WE 
          [01:00:01]
CHANGING? AND DEREK, I DON'T KNOW, UM, WHAT, ARE WE CHANGING TRAFFIC FLOW WISE, OR WHAT'S THE PLAN ON SIGNING? BECAUSE I, I SEEM TO BE HEARING TRAP ABOUT TRAFFIC IN, AROUND OTHER SCHOOLS, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT LATELY. 
          AND HERE WE ARE AGAIN, LIKE COUNCILMAN JUSTICE HAD PUTTING EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HA HASN'T HAD THAT BEFORE. 
          YEAH. 
          OUR PLAN, OH, THERE WE GO. 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          SO OUR PLAN WAS PRIMARILY TO FOCUS ON TAKING TRACK OF TRAFFIC OFF OF THE PUBLIC STREETS. 
          CURRENTLY, OUR EXISTING SCHOOLS HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC STREETS BEING USED FOR STACKING, FOR PARENTS TO COME IN AND STACK AND WAIT TO DROP OFF KIDS AND PICK UP KIDS. 
          SO THAT WAS THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF GETTING THEM OFF OUR PUBLIC, UH, RIGHT OF WAY AND INTO THE CAMPUS OR ON SITE. 
          AND THEY HAVE ENOUGH STACK. 
          SO PART OF THE PLAN WAS TO PROVIDE ENOUGH STACKING TO HAVE THE VEHICLES LINED UP WITHIN THE SCHOOL PROPERTY WHILE THEY'RE THERE TO PICK KIDS UP OR EVEN DROP THEM OFF. 
          AND THAT, AND THAT IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS HERE, THAT ONCE WE GET THEM OFF THE STREET, THEN ANYTHING, ANY INTERACTION HAVING ON PUBLIC STREETS IS MINIMIZED AND REDUCED SO THAT WE HAVE, UH, BETTER FLOW AND ACCESS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHAT I HEARD IS WE'RE TAKING OFF PUBLIC STREETS, WHICH I HAD HEARD PRIOR, BUT AS FAR AS CHANGING ANYTHING, SIGNING, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS TO DEAL WITH THAT AND IN ANY ADDITIONAL WAY THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW. 
          IS THAT ACCURATE? SO, SO CURRENTLY, UH, THE WAY THE TRAFFIC IS FLOWING IS IN THE EXISTING DROP OFF AREA OF THE PARKING LOT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN PULL UP THE AERIAL CURRENT. 
          SO THE EXISTING STACKING THAT'S AVAILABLE TODAY, UM, ALLOWS PEOPLE TO NOT ONLY STACK WITHIN THE SCHOOL DROP OFF AREA, BUT THEN IT STACKS ALL THE WAY ON FLOYD. 
          SO THAT STACKING IS NOW WILL BE REMOVED AND IT'LL BE OFF, OFF OF FLOYD. 
          SO CURRENTLY THERE IS NO SIGNAGE THERE THAT REALLY, UH, THERE IS NO EXTRA SIGNAGE ALONG FLOYD, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF STACKING THAT HAPPENS ON FLOYD ALL THE WAY BACKS UP CLOSER TO CAMPBELL, SO THAT, THAT BACK UP. 
          AND THEN PEOPLE STACK AND WAIT, UH, ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS BY WHILE PICKING KIDS UP. 
          AND IN ORDER TO AVOID AND REMOVE ALL OF THAT IMPACT, WE'VE MOVED EVERYTHING ON SITE AS FAR AS, I, I'M THINKING MORE THAT NORTHEAST CORNER, THE OLD CAMPBELL AND THAT NORTHERN SIDE OF NANTUCKET, BECAUSE CURRENTLY THERE'S NO ADDED PRESSURE UP THERE. 
          BUT WE WILL AS WE ADD AN EXTRA ENTRANCE OVER THERE. 
          SO THAT IS LIKE ADDING AN EXTRA ACCESS POINT. 
          YES, THERE IS AN ADDED EXTRA ACCESS POINT, BUT THAT IS ONLY AN INBOUND TRAFFIC. 
          SO VEHICLES, WHEN PARENTS COME IN, THEY'RE ONLY RANDOMLY ARRIVING. 
          THEY'RE NOT ARRIVING ALL AT THE SAME MINUTE. 
          AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMING IN ARE TWO THIRDS, BUT THEY WILL BE ARRIVING AT RANDOM, UH, TIMING. 
          SO IT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PRESSURE. 
          ALSO, THERE'S NO PARKING ALL ALONG THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF OLD CAMPBELL AS WELL AS NANTUCKET ON THE CURB, ON THE CURB ITSELF. 
          AND THEN, UH, A SECTION OF OLD CAMPBELL IS ALSO NO PARKING AS WELL AS EVEN NORTH ON NANTUCKET, THERE IS NO PARKING. 
          SO PEOPLE, UH, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STAND THERE AND PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WAIT THERE TO DROP KIDS OFF. 
          CURRENTLY THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN ACCESS THERE FOR THE CURRENT SCHOOL. 
          SO BECAUSE PARENTS WERE DOING THAT IN THE PAST, THAT WHOLE AREA ISN'T, SO PEOPLE CANNOT STOP AND DROP KIDS OFF AND, UM, ACTUALLY PROVIDE THAT AS A DROPPING ACCESS. 
          SO THAT MECHANISM IS ALREADY IN PLACE. 
          WE'RE NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO STAND THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, NEXT QUESTION, DEREK, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FOR YOU OR FOR THE APPLICANT, UM, BUT IT'S AROUND THE, THE SCREENING WALL THAT COUNCILMAN DORIAN KIND OF QUESTION. 
          WE REQUIRE SIX FOOT MASONRY, BUT THERE WILL BE NO SCREENING WALL AS WE BUILD CLOSER TO THAT AGAIN IN THIS NORTHEAST CORNER IN NANTUCKET AND CAMPBELL. 
          UM, WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING CLOSER TO HOMES ONTO SOUTH END. 
          WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOMES WHEN, WHEN IT COMES TO TRAFFIC. 
          UM, YET WE'RE ALSO, WE'RE IN, WE'RE WE'RE ASKING FOR TO ALLOW THEM TO BUILD CLOSER. 
          AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL SUPPORT THE WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
          OBVIOUSLY OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN A BIG SUPPORTER OF RSD SCHOOLS OVER THE YEARS. 
          AND WE LOOK FORWARD, I KNOW A LOT OF US ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE CHANGES TO CATCH UP WITH OTHER DISTRICTS. 
          UM, BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE ALLOWING 'EM TO BUILD CLOSER AND AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE MOVING A MASONRY WALL. 
          UH, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SOUND BLEED AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT MENTIONED WELL THEY HAVE FENCES, BUT YES. 
          BUT IT'S 
          [01:05:01]
KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WHERE'S THAT BALANCES RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN, UH, YOU KNOW, A A SIX FOOT WOODEN FENCE, LIKE WHAT I HAVE IN MY BACKYARD WON'T COME CLOSE TO BLOCKING OUT. 
          HECK, IF IT DOESN'T EVEN BLOCK OUT MY NEIGHBOR'S DOG, MUCH LESS 600 JUNIOR HIGH KIDS RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING. 
          AS A FORMER TEACHER, I THINK THAT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS. 
          SO, DEREK, POINT OF CLARIFICATION, WE'RE NOT REMOVING A MASONRY WALL, RIGHT? WE'RE JUST, BUT WE'RE THE, WE'RE ASKING FOR, FOR IT NOT TO BE ALLOWED 'CAUSE IT'S CURRENTLY ALLOWED, BUT IN THE PD IT'S, WE'RE REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT. 
          AM I WRONG ON THAT? IT'S CURRENTLY REQUIRED. 
          WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PROVIDING A WAIVER SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO CONSTRUCT IT BECAUSE THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THE CREEK AND THE WOODED AREA THAT SEPARATES THE NEW DRIVE-BY FROM NANTUCKET. 
          AND THEN THE HOMES THAT ARE, UM, ESSENTIALLY FROM THE SOUTH, THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OVER TO FLOYD, UH, THOSE HOMES ALREADY HAVE, UH, WOOD FENCES AND WOOD FENCES, UH, THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. 
          WE'RE WITH. 
          UM, AND THIS IT, I MEAN, THIS DOESN'T WHAT, I GUESS WHAT'S THE THINKING BEHIND THE REMOVAL? OR WE DON'T, NOT TO CLARIFY, WE DON'T HAVE A WALL THERE. 
          IT'S NOT, WE'RE RE MOVING, REMOVING OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS. 
          UM, PART OF THAT WAS THE SCHOOL WAS SEEKING TO CONTINUE THOSE EXISTING, UH, CONDITIONS. 
          UH, THE EXPANSION WILL POSSIBLY IMPACT SOME OF THE NORTHERN MOST HOMES ON THAT ROW OF HOUSES ON NANTUCKET. 
          AND THE, THEY WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW FROM THEIR BACKYARD, UM, WITH THE BUILDING GOING THERE AS FAR AS NOISE, THE TRAFFIC MAY CREATE ADDITIONAL NOISE DURING THOSE PICKUP AND DROP OFF TIMES THOSE SMALL WINDOWS OF TIME. 
          I THINK THE, UH, IF I COULD ADD THE, I THINK THE OTHER THOUGHT PROCESS IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS THAT CREEK OR DRAINAGE DITCH THAT SERVES AS, AS AN ADDITIONAL BUFFER ALONG THE EAST, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THERE'S AN ALLEY TO THE SOUTH THAT SERVES AN AS AN ADDITIONAL BUFFER BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY GET TO THOSE RESIDENTIAL HOMES. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, WELL WHY DON'T RSD OR THE APPLICANT, WHY DON'T YOU ADDRESS THAT? SURE. 
          IT'S YOUR REQUEST. 
          UH, SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S, I THINK RIGHT HERE WE HAVE CONCERNS. 
          UM, BUT, BUT I GUESS RIGHT NOW I'M NOT SURE THAT BASED ON THE, THE EXPLANATIONS GIVEN, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THE CONCERN IS JUST SIMPLY NOTED OR IS THE CONCERN YOU THINK IT'D BE BETTER WITH THE SCREEN WALLS, THEREFORE YOU WANNA EXCLUDE THAT EXCEPTION WE'RE ASKING FOR. 
          THAT'S THE ONLY PART OF THIS. 
          I, I PERSONALLY STRUGGLE WITH, UM, THE, THE TRAFFIC. 
          IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE SEE AN ISSUE, WE'LL ADDRESS IT. 
          I KNOW WE'RE WORKING WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS WITH SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, AS SOME OF THESE CAMPUSES HAVE CLOSED AND POPULATION HAS GONE UP, WE'VE SEEN ISSUES OCCUR WITH TRAFFIC AND, UH, UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH RSD TO, TO FIX THAT AROUND SOME OF THE SCHOOLS. 
          BUT, SO I, I HAVE NO DOUBT MY QUESTION ABOUT THE TRAFFIC WILL BE ADDRESSED EITHER NOW OR AT SOME POINT IF IT BECOMES AN ISSUE. 
          AND I HAVE NO REASON NOT TO BELIEVE OUR STAFF AND SAME, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA DEAL WITH IT AND IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. 
          UM, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THE INCREASE OF POPULATION OF STUDENTS WITH US ALLOWING TRAFFIC FLOW CLOSER TO RESIDENTIAL, AND BY ALSO REMOVING THAT, THAT, UH, WHAT IS IT, EIGHT FOOT MASONRY OR SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL, IT'LL ADD TO INCREASED DAYTIME NOISE POLLUTION INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, WITH SO MANY RESIDENTS WORKING FROM HOME THESE DAYS, I, I JUST, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. 
          LIKE I PERSONALLY WOULD PREFER A MASONRY WALL THERE. 
          IS THERE, IS THERE AMPLE SPACE TO CREATE A LIVING SCREEN WALL? SO THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION TO ANSWER . 
          UM, BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE CREEK AND THE WATERSHED FOR THE CREEK FROM THE PROPERTY ONTO THE CREEK AND THE HOUSES TO THE CREEK TOO. 
          IT'S REALLY TIGHT BACK THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          LET, LET ME ASK COUNCILMAN BARRIOS FOR CLARIFICATION, COUNCILMAN, I THINK YOU'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT FROM THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY TO FLOYD, THE DRIVE AISLE IS GONNA BE SEPARATED FROM THE HOMES FOR THE MAJORITY OF NANTUCKET BY A TENNIS COURT OR TWO TENNIS COURTS. 
          TRUE, TRUE. 
          SO I THINK, I THINK THE COUNCILMAN IS REFERRING MORE TO THE HOMES THAT WOULD BE ON CAMBRIDGE. 
          I AM CORRECT. 
          I'M DEFINITELY THAT STRETCH FROM KIND OF THE NORTH, THE SOUTHWEST CORNER WHERE THE TENNIS COURTS ARE RIGHT TO FLOYD, KIND OF THOSE HOMES. 
          AND THEN THE NORTHEAST CORNER, ALTHOUGH THERE AREN'T MANY HOMES, THERE'S KIND OF WHERE THE DARKER BOLD ARROW IS ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER, WHICH IS WHAT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GYM. 
          ALTHOUGH THERE'S, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NO HOME ON THAT LITTLE TRIANGULAR PIECE OF LAND. 
          BUT IF THAT KIND OF AREA'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CONCERN, UH, BUT THAT SOUTHERN CORNER IS DEFINITELY THE BIGGEST OF MY CONCERN. 
          SO, SO SOMETHING TO CONSIDER THERE IS THE PROXIMITY OF THE ALLEY TO OUR SITE. 
          I, AND THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION OF US AS FAR AS CIVIL INJURY. 
          DO, IS THE ALLEY ACTUALLY EXIST ON RSD 
          [01:10:01]
PROPERTY OR DOES THE FIRE LINE? THERE'S, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S PHYSICALLY A WAY TO PUT SCREEN WALL THERE WITHOUT GETTING, MOVING THAT FIRE LANE, MAYBE IMPOSSIBLY CLOSE TO THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THEN REMOVING PARKING ALONG THAT SOUTH SIDE, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY IT IS THE WAY THAT IT IS TODAY. 
          IF I HAD TO BET, YOU KNOW, THERE WANTED TO BE AN ACCESS EASEMENT BETWEEN THE HOUSES AND THE PROPERTY FOR RI RICHARDSON CITY STAFF TO GET BACK THERE TO THE CREEK. 
          I, I BELIEVE THAT'S PROBABLY WHY IT EXISTED TODAY. 
          AND SO TRYING TO CHOP THAT UP WITH SCREEN WALLS THERE MAKES THE ACCESS BOTH FOR THE CITY STAFF AND ONSITE FOR THAT LOOP THAT COMES DOWN TOWARDS FLOYD. 
          IT, IT GETS REALLY COMPLICATED. 
          I'M NOT SAYING THAT ANYTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT AND I THINK IT MIGHT END UP LIMITING ACCESS SIGHT LINES TO AN AREA THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF A QUAGMIRE ANYWAY. 
          'CAUSE IT TURNS AND COMES UP AND THERE'S A WAY OUT. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER BARRIO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? NO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER INE. 
          THANK YOU MR. TAMARA. 
          WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          UH, TRAFFIC WISE DEFINITELY IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT. 
          THE TRAFFIC WILL FLOW MUCH SMOOTHER. 
          UH, WOULD THAT STOP STACKING ALONG THE NORTH FLUID? PROBABLY NOT. 
          UH, THERE WOULD BE STILL PROBABLY SOME STACKING BY PARENTS, BUT, BUT ABSOLUTELY THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE THAT TRAFFIC WILL FLOW MUCH SMOOTHER. 
          BUT OF COURSE THE SAME TIME IT'LL DEFINITELY INCREASE SOME NOISE ISSUE FOR SOME OF THE HOMEOWNERS. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT'S A MISSIONARY WALL OR THAT COULD BE SOME KIND OF A SCREENING, LIVE SCREENING WALL, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD PROBABLY, UH, HELP. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE SOME ACTIVITY JUST BEHIND THE FENCE, YOU'RE GONNA HEAR IT. 
          UH, RIGHT NOW I HAVE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON IN MY HOUSE, NOT ME, IN MY HOUSE, BEHIND MY HOUSE. 
          I'M ENJOYING THOSE NOISE. 
          UH, THOSE ARE COMFORTING BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE STREET WILL BE MUCH BETTER END OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND THEY'LL BE GONE AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION. 
          BUT DROPPING OFF, DROPPING, YOU KNOW, PICKING UP GATES FROM THAT SIDE IS DEFINITELY, I THINK IT'S, IT NEED TO LOOK AT THAT MORE CLOSELY. 
          HOW, NOT JUST ALL THE HOUSES, BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK PROBABLY ONE HOUSE AT A TIME ALONG THE WAY AND SEE HOW WE CAN MITIGATE THOSE ISSUE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE. 
          OTHERWISE, I THINK THIS IS, UM, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAVE. 
          I MEAN, NOTHING MUCH REALLY WE CAN DO BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS THERE AND WE NEED THE 7, 8, 9, 6, 7 8 GRADE TOGETHER. 
          THAT'S THE PLAN THAT WAS DECIDED FEW YEARS AGO. 
          AND I SUPPORT THAT IDEA. 
          UH, IT'S A GOOD IDEA AND I'M ALSO GLAD THAT YOU ARE SEPARATING THOSE, YOU KNOW, ONE THIRD, ONE SIDE, TWO THIRD, OTHER SIDE. 
          THIS WOULD HELP THE TRAFFIC AND ALSO THE NOISE. 
          UM, IT'S, UH, MUCH SAFER. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GONNA ADDRESS THAT, UH, NOISE OR ACTIVITY ON THE BACK. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING IS A CONCERN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? IF NOT, IT'S AN OPEN PUBLIC HEARING, UM, SO LOVE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          MS. EMER? I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS FOR THIS ONE, MAYOR. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          IS THERE ANYONE THAT WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM? ALRIGHT, HEARING NONE. 
          UH, YES. 
          MAYOR PRO, TIMM, HUTCHIN RIDER. 
          MAYOR, IF THERE'S NO CARDS OR ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK, I'D MAKE A MOTION. 
          CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          ALRIGHT, WE GOT A MOTION. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, DORIAN. 
          SECOND. 
          I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM HUTCHIN RIDER. 
          SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER DORIAN, ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. 
          YES. 
          MAYOR PRO TEM HUTCHIN RIDER. 
          MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO, BEFORE WE HEAR THE MOTION, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION AT ALL THAT ANYONE ELSE HAS? UH, JUST, JUST A COMMENT THAT WE HAD DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SCREENING WHILE LIVE SCREENING VERSUS, UH, MISSIONARY WALL, SOME OTHER THINGS, THOSE SORT OF THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN, IT'S NOT A MAJOR ISSUE, BUT IT'S AN ISSUE. 
          I THINK THAT'S FAIRLY EASY TO MANAGE. 
          UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO AT THIS POINT. 
          UM, I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF ISD, SO I WOULD NOT HOLD MY VOTE, UH, JUST BECAUSE OF THAT. 
          BUT HOW, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I MEAN, I, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF WE CAN SOMEHOW ADDRESS THAT ISSUE. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER VAR. 
          YEAH. 
          TO, UH, COUNCILMAN CHAEL'S POINT. 
          I AM STRUGGLING WITH THE MASONRY WALL, UM, AND, AND THE NOISE THERE A LOT. 
          AND THAT MAY, UM, THAT MAY VERY WELL AFFECT MY VOTE. 
          I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR THE OTHERS' THOUGHTS. 
          YEAH, FAIR ENOUGH. 
          UH, JUST I'LL, I'LL WEIGH IN ON THE WALL. 
          I, I APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS. 
          I DON'T SEE THEM TODAY. 
          UH, AND I KNOW 
          [01:15:01]
THAT THE BUILDINGS BEING EXPANDED WILL POTENTIALLY ADD MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR NOISE, BUT, UH, WE ALSO KNOW WHAT THESE BUDGETS LOOK LIKE, AND I THINK ASKING TO THROW UP A MASONRY WALL THAT PROBABLY WASN'T PLANNED IN ANY KIND OF WAY MIGHT REALLY THROW OFF THE ENTIRE, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO UPGRADE THE SCHOOL IN A PRETTY AMAZING WAY. 
          SO THAT'S MY 2 CENTS ON THAT PARTICULAR THING. 
          THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION. 
          YES. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE, JUST, I, I I THOUGHT DAWN'S IDEA WAS A GOOD ONE AND THAT COULD SATISFY COUNCILMAN PARTIES IS THE LIFE TREAT? YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW, CAN WE NOT, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S ENOUGH SPACE TO PLANT EVEN JUST ORNAMENTAL TREATS OR SOMETHING. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD REQUIRE THAT, THAT WOULD BE AN ECONOMICAL WAY TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN. 
          UH, IS, UH, YOU KNOW, NOW AS I, AS I LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THAT'S ACTUALLY AVAILABLE, I MEAN, IT'S POSSIBLE, UM, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS, UM, COMES WITH IF, IF, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE STRATEGY MIGHT BE, UH, TO ENCOURAGE US TO WORK WITH RSD. 
          I THINK RSDI LOOKOUT AT MIKE, AND I KNOW IF WE, WE, WE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A, IF THERE'S A PATH FORWARD THAT WE COULD FIGURE OUT SOMETHING THAT WOULD, UM, HELP WITH, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY SOME NOISE MITIGATION. 
          AS I LOOK AT THIS THOUGH, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, I REALLY, I I I THINK LARGER TREES ARE GONNA BE, ARE GONNA BE DIFFICULT, UM, AND COULD EVEN POTENTIALLY AFFECT OUR ALLEY PAVEMENT. 
          UM, AND WHICH I, WHICH I WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. 
          UM, AND SO I THINK THE SPIRIT OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I, I SEE MIKE SHAKING HIS HEAD YES. 
          UM, WE COULD DEFINITELY WORK WITH THE DISTRICT, INCLUDING IT IN THE ORDINANCE WOULD WORRY ME ONLY BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE KIND OF BACKING US INTO A, A REQUIREMENT THAT MAY OR NOT WORK OUT. 
          I THINK NOISE MITIGATION, WE, WE, WE DEFINITELY COULD LOOK AT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE COULD APPROACH THAT. 
          UM, AND I KNOW OUR RSD WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT WITH US. 
          YEP. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER MORRIS, UH, THAT BEING SAID, I, I DON'T SEE MIKE, BUT I BELIEVE DON MIKE WE'RE GOOD. 
          COOL. 
          IT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK TOWARDS. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, UH THAT'S OKAY. 
          WE CAN'T HAVE THE APPROACH. 
          LET'S, LET'S JUST LEAVE IT, LET'S LEAVE IT. 
          WE GOT A HEAD NOD ALREADY, BUT WE GOT A HEAD NOD, SO I'M GONNA TAKE THAT ON GOOD FAITH AND, UH, I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD NOT COME THROUGH OR AT LEAST WORK TOWARDS SOMETHING THERE. 
          PERFECT. 
          I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING WHERE LATER THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAYS, LOOK, WE DIDN'T ATTEMPT TO CREATE A BARRIER BETWEEN HUNDREDS OF VERY ACTIVE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, WHICH ARE THE MOST INSANE AGE TO GO THROUGH PRECIOUS, THAT'S THE WORD, PRECIOUS AGE TO WORK WITH, UM, THAT YEAH. 
          AND, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, 30% OR WHATEVER THAT GROWTH IS, IS A LOT. 
          AND IT'S GOING TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GET THERE. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE DISTRICT'S WILLINGNESS TO AT LEAST WORK WITH US AND TALK WITH US. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH WITHOUT ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. 
          MAYOR PER TIME, HU WRITER MAYOR.

          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          MAYOR AND COUNSEL, UH, DEREK IS GONNA GO AHEAD AND LEAVE THIS BRIEFING FOR US. 
          AGAIN, THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND HAS A SHORT PRESENTATION AND WE'LL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL, DEREK. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          THE SUBJECT SIDE IS AT 5 0 8 TWILIGHT TRAIL. 
          THIS IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TWILIGHT TRAIL IN WEST OF CUSTER ROAD AND SOUTH OF ARAPAHOE ROAD. 
          IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED OM OFFICE AND THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL USES. 
          THE SITE IS 2.3 ACRES AND HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH TWO SINGLE STORY OFFICE BUILDINGS THAT TOTAL 26,500 SQUARE FEET. 
          THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND EAST HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES. 
          THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH AN OFFICE BUILDING AND TO THE SOUTH CROSS. 
          TWILIGHT TRAIL IS THE YMCA OF RICHARDSON. 
          HERE 
          [01:20:01]
ARE PHOTOS OF THE SITE. 
          FIRST YOU SEE THE ENTRANCE, THEN YOU SEE A PICTURE OF THE INTERIOR COURTYARD WHERE THERE ARE AMENITIES SUCH AS SEATING, SHADE STRUCTURES, AND THERE'S ALSO PARKING IN THAT INTERIOR COURTYARD. 
          THESE ARE THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING. 
          AND THEN THE NORTH ELEVATION, WHICH IS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY, WHERE YOU SEE THERE'S A PEDESTRIAN ACCESS GATE THAT, THAT CONNECTS THOSE TWO BUILDINGS. 
          SO WITH THIS PROPOSAL, THERE ARE NO PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SITE. 
          UM, INSTEAD THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING AN A PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE OFFICE DISTRICT TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL USES. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THE SITE CONTAINS A BUILDING TWO BUILDINGS BEING 26,500 SQUARE FEET, AND THERE ARE 116 PARKING SPACES PROVIDED ON SITE AND ON THE, AT THE REAR OF THE SITE. 
          AND THESE TWO NOTCHES ARE THE, WHERE THE DUMPSTERS ARE LOCATED. 
          THE BUILDING IS FLANKED BY PARKING ON ALL SIDES. 
          AND THEN THERE'S ALSO PARKING IN THE INTERIOR. 
          SO THE APPLICANT FIRST ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY IN 2019, AND SINCE 2020, THEY HAVE HAVE HAD LIMITED INTEREST IN THIS TRADITIONAL OFFICE SPACE OFFERED AT THIS LOCATION AND OFFICE SPACE IN GENERAL, AND NO NEW TENANTS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED. 
          INSTEAD, THEY HAVE FOUND THROUGH MARKETING TO POTENTIAL TENANTS. 
          THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF INTERESTS FROM BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT PERMITTED IN THE OFFICE DISTRICT. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO THE ALLOWED USES IN THE OFFICE DISTRICT, THE APPLICANT HAS, HAS RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED THE ADDITIONAL 10 USES LISTED HERE. 
          AND THESE ARE PRIMARILY RETAIL AND PERSONAL SERVICE ORIENTED TYPES OF USES. 
          IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A MORE FLEXIBLE PARKING RATIO. 
          SO EACH OF THOSE USES I LISTED HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL PARKING MINIMUM THAT MAY RANGE FROM ONE SPACE PER 100 SQUARE FEET TO ONE SPACE PER 333 SQUARE FEET OF BUILDING AREA. 
          INSTEAD, THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED A BLANKET PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR THE SITE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE 116 PARKING SPACES AT MINIMUM. 
          AND THEY SAID THIS WOULD HELP IN RETENANTING THOSE VACANT OFFICE SPACES. 
          UM, ADDITIONALLY, THEY'RE SEEKING A EXCEPTION TO THE CURRENT ZONING, THE CURRENT DUMPSTER SCREENING REQUIREMENT FOR A SIX FOOT MASONRY SCREENING WALL. 
          THEY HAVE PROPOSED TO CONTINUE WITH THE EXISTING CONDITION TODAY. 
          THOSE DUMPSTERS ARE SCREENED BY A WOODEN FENCE, BUT THEY WILL BE ADDING OPAQUE GATE GATES TO THE FRONT OF THOSE DUMPSTERS. 
          THE ENVISION RICHARDSON FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATED THIS AS PART OF THE WEST ARAPAHO AND ENHANCEMENT AREA. 
          THIS AREA WAS ENVISIONED AS, UH, AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS WITH A MIX OF LOW INTENSITY USES. 
          UH, THE PARTICULAR PLACE TYPES THAT WERE ENVISIONED FOR THIS AREA INCLUDE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE, AND NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL. 
          AND THE REQUESTED USES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THOSE ENVISIONED PLACE TYPES. 
          THE CITY DID RECEIVE ONE COMMENT IN OPPOSITION OF REQUEST FROM A NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNER THAT OWNS AN OFFICE BUILDING. 
          WE ADDITIONALLY RECEIVED ONE STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION FROM A NEIGHBORING RESIDENT, AND THEN WE RECEIVED TWO WRITTEN STATEMENTS IN SUPPORT. 
          AND THOSE ARE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. 
          THE CITY PLAN COMMISSION VOTED SIX TO ONE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, AND THE CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT MAY APPROVE THE ZONING FILE 25 19 AS PRESENTED ALONG WITH THE ORDINANCE, WITH THE CONDITIONS, AMENDED CONDITIONS OR DENIED THE REQUEST. 
          AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT WITH A SHORT PRESENTATION AS WELL. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? THE STAFF? GREAT JOB. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE APPLICANT'S HERE. 
          PLEASE COME FORWARD AND LET'S HEAR WHAT YOU GOT. 
          HI, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. 
          UH, MY NAME IS TAYLOR PARDUE. 
          I LIVE AT 9 0 7 BEACHWOOD DRIVE IN RICHARDSON, 7 5 0 8 0. 
          AND I REPRESENT THE OWNERSHIP AND OUR REQUEST TO REZONE OUR PROPERTY AT 5 0 8 TWILIGHT TRAIL, KNOWN AS TWILIGHT PLAZA. 
          TWILIGHT PLAZA IS THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS OF OUR FAMILY'S 50 PLUS YEAR PROPERTY, OLD, UH, 50 PLUS YEAR OLD PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BUSINESS. 
          I WORK WITH MY TWO BROTHERS AND OUR FATHER, MY BROTHERS AND I SPENT ALL 13 YEARS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL IN RISD GOING THROUGH, UH, SPRING VALLEY ELEMENTARY, WESTWOOD JUNIOR HIGH. 
          AND WE ALL GRADUATED FROM RICHARDSON HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE'RE ALL FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO LIVE ABOUT A MILE FROM OUR OFFICE, AND ALL OUR KIDS ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN RISD SCHOOLS, WHERE WE'RE ALL INVOLVED IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES. 
          UH, PTA SPORTS THEATER AND BAND. 
          WE EVEN HAVE A FEW FORMER BERGNER RAM TEACHERS IN OUR FAMILY. 
          THIS CITY, THIS PROPERTY AND THEIR COMBINED FUTURE ARE VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO US, AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY IN HEARING OUR REQUEST. 
          I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE, UH, HEIGHTS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WHO ARE HERE IN SUPPORT TONIGHT, AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH US OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, UM, COMMUNICATING WHAT, UM, UH, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO. 
          [01:25:03]
OOPS, THERE WE GO. 
          UH, JUST A QUICK HISTORY ABOUT OUR BUILDING. 
          UM, IT WAS BUILT ORIGINALLY IN 1997 BY THREE BROTHERS AS THEIR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS AND THE SYM, THE SYMMETRY OF THAT IS, UH, KIND OF COOL. 
          UH, THEY BUILT A VERY SPECIAL PROPERTY MODELED AFTER THE MEXICAN HACIENDA. 
          THEY FREQUENTED WITH IMPORTED CANERA STONE, MAHOGANY DOORS, AND WINDOWS AND SALTILLO TILE FLOORS AS THEY AGED OUT OF THEIR BUSINESS. 
          ASPECTS OF THE PROPERTY FELL INTO DISREPAIR AND IT ONLY HAD TWO TENANTS. 
          WHEN WE ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY IN 2019, WHEN WE MOVED OUR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FROM DALLAS TO RICHARDSON AFTER PURCHASING, WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN RESTORATIONS AND CONTINUED TO DO SO AS NEEDED SINCE 2019. 
          WE PUT IN A NEW ROOF, REPAIRED AND PAINTED THE STUCCO FACADE, REFINISHED DOORS AND WINDOWS REPLACED, FAILING STONE STONEWORK, UPDATED THE LIGHTING, REFRESHED THE LANDSCAPING, AND MADE THE COURTYARD FOUNTAIN AREA A RETREAT THAT WE CAN ENJOY. 
          IN ADDITION TO OUR CORPORATE OFFICE, WE HAVE TWO AWARD-WINNING AD AGENCIES AND A LOCAL INSURANCE COMPANY, AND WE'RE CURRENTLY 48% OCCUPIED. 
          WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO GET THOSE FIRST TWO MOVE-INS, UM, AND THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TENANTS AT, AND THAT WAS AT THE START OF 2020, RIGHT AS COVID BECAME NATIONAL NEWS. 
          HOWEVER, SINCE THEN, WE'VE SEEN VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN TRADITIONAL OFFICE SPACE AND HAVE NOT ACQUIRED A NEW TENANT IN NEARLY SIX YEARS. 
          OVER THE COURSE OF THOSE SIX YEARS, WHILE MARKETING TO POTENTIAL TENANTS, WE SAW INTEREST FROM A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESSES, INCLUDING MULTIPLE LOCAL THEATER GROUPS, A CHURCH WITH A CAFE, A RESTAURANT, COFFEE SHOP, CHIROPRACTOR, PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICES, PSYCHIATRIC OFFICE, PRIVATE TRAINING, AND MOST NOTABLY, A WELLNESS CENTER OWNED BY A RICHARDSON NATIVE WITH KIDS IN OUR ISD SCHOOLS, LOOKING TO MOVE HER SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS FROM DALLAS TO RICHARDSON WITH A LONG-TERM LEASE. 
          WE ALSO HAVE INTEREST FROM AN EXISTING TENANT TO EXPAND THEIR BUSINESS TO INCLUDE A PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING, NONE OF THESE BUSINESSES COULD MAKE THEIR HOME OR EXPAND A TWILIGHT PLAZA. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HERE, THE HIGHLIGHTED, UM, UH, SPACES. 
          THOSE ARE OUR CURRENT, UH, VACANT SPACES. 
          THE, THE WHITE AREAS ARE OCCUPIED. 
          AND THESE ARE, UH, UH, CURRENT PICTURES OF SOME OF THE WORK WE'VE DONE. 
          JUST A, UH, LITTLE BACKGROUND ON, ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE. 
          THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO REQUEST ADDITIONAL USES CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND WE BELIEVE THIS TARGETED APPROACH WILL ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF THE AREA WHILE PROVIDING NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING AND WALKABLE RETAIL OFFICE AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES. 
          WE ARE NOT SEEKING ANY ALTERATIONS TO BUILDING HEIGHTS, SETBACKS, OR PARKING TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY WITH ORIGINAL ZONING AND TO AVOID NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. 
          AND WE DO NOT FEEL THE REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE WILL HINDER FUTURE AREA DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, WE BELIEVE THE PROPOSED USES, UM, THAT DEREK HAD MENTIONED, UH, ENCOMPASSED PREVIOUS AND CURRENT INTEREST AND THE DESIRES CONVEYED DURING SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE HEIGHTS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE USES THAT COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY, WHICH A STANDARD OFFICE PARK DOES NOT. 
          UM, AS ALSO MENTIONED, UH, SOME OF THE ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE, UH, ARE PROPOSING AS PART OF THIS IS ALONG THE WEST, NORTH AND EAST PERIMETERS WHERE THE PARKING IS. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA PUT LANDSCAPE, UH, UH, SCREENING TO COVER, UM, UH, HEADLIGHTS, UH, AND THEN AT THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES, UH, WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE A REALLY NICE FENCE AND, UH, CONCRETE AND METAL BOLLARDS. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA DO A OPAQUE GATE TO FURTHER SCREEN THE FRONT OF THE, UM, OF THE DUMPSTERS. 
          AND SHOULD THIS, UH, PROPOSED REZONE GO THROUGH, I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT A POTENTIAL LI TENANT COULD DO WITH THE SPACE. 
          THE OWNER THAT I MENTIONED OF THE POTENTIAL WELLNESS CENTER, UM, HAS PROVIDED THESE RENDERINGS, WHICH HIGHLIGHT A WELL-DESIGNED SPACE THAT REFERENCES THE EXTERIOR DESIGN WITH A MODERN AESTHETIC. 
          THIS WOULD BE A PREMIER SPACE WITH YOGA WELLNESS CLASSES, MASSAGE, A SMALL BAR AREA WITH TEA SERVICE JUICE AND HEALTHY SNACKS, AND A SMALL RETAIL COMPONENT. 
          UH, HERE ON THE FAR RIGHT WOULD BE, UH, HER RETAIL COMPONENT. 
          THERE'S JUST A LITTLE SMALL SEATING AREA, UM, TO SERVE TEA. 
          AND, UM, THERE'S A, A, A PICTURE OF THE YOGA AREA, NOT PICTURED WOULD BE SOME OFFICES THAT SHE DOES SOME, SOME, UM, UH, WELLNESS AND HEALTH CONSULTING AS WELL. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE DO THAT IN PERSON PERSONALLY. 
          . 
          UM, AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, I MENTIONED, UM, COMMUNITY OUTREACH. 
          WE FOCUS PRIMARILY ON THE 1000 PLUS MEMBER HEIGHTS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THE YMCA AND THE COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL OWNERS DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH, NORTHEAST, AND EAST OF OUR PROPERTY. 
          THAT IMMEDIATELY ABUT OUR PROPERTY. 
          BEGINNING IN JULY, WE MET WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE HPNA. 
          JEFF DAVIS A NUMBER OF TIMES, CONVEY OUR HOPES FOR THE PROPERTY, AND LISTENED TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY MAY OR MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN. 
          WE ALSO MET WITH DAN WASHBURN, AN HPNA MEMBER 
          [01:30:01]
AND REALTOR WHO SPECIALIZES IN OUR AREA. 
          ADDITIONALLY, THE HPNA CIRCULATED AN EMAIL TO THEIR MEMBERS DESCRIBING OUR PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE A NEW DESTINATION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT. 
          AND THEY TOLD US THEY RECEIVED POSITIVE FEEDBACK. 
          WE ALSO SPOKE WITH THE DIRECTOR OF THE YMCA, SAMANTHA BUELLER AND THE OWNERS OF RICHARDSON DISCOUNT TIRE DILO AND ASH IBRAHIM. 
          SAMANTHA DID NOT FORESEE ANY CONCERNS, AND DILO AND ASH EXPRESSED ENTHUSIASM OVER THE PROPOSAL. 
          WE ATTEMPTED, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM, UH, THE NORTH RICH PLAZA TO THE NORTH AND THE RETAIL PROPERTY TO THE EAST. 
          UM, JUST TO MENTION SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN THE CPC MEETING, MOST OF THOSE WERE FOCUSED ON, UH, TRAFFIC AND POTENTIAL, UH, WASTE THAT'S GENERATED FROM RESTAURANT USAGE. 
          UM, FOR THE TRAFFIC, WE'RE NOT, SINCE WE'RE NOT ADDING PARKING SPACES OR INCREASING SQUARE FOOTAGE, UM, AND ALL THE PROPOSED USES ARE IN KEEPING WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND POTENTIAL FUTURE AREA ENHANCEMENTS, WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE A SIG SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO TRAFFIC. 
          HOWEVER, WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS THAT THEY RAISED AROUND TRAFFIC AND SAFETY, PARTICULARLY ON YMCA GAME DAYS. 
          THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US AS WELL. 
          WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE YMCA IN THE PAST TO ALLOW OVERFLOW PARKING IN OUR PERIMETER PARKING LOT, AND WE THINK THIS HAS HELPED A LOT. 
          WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE A CHANGE IN THIS PLAN. 
          UM, HOWEVER, YMCA GAME DAY TRAFFIC COULD FURTHER BE ALLEVIATED IN THE FUTURE IF OTHER SURROUNDING BUSINESSES COULD DO THE SAME. 
          ADDITIONALLY, WE ANTICIPATE MOST TRAFFIC TO OUR PROPERTY TO COME FROM CUSTER AND NOT CUT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND WE HOPE THAT HAVING A WALKABLE DESTINATION WILL FURTHER LIMIT TRAFFIC FOR THE RESTAURANT WASTE CONCERN. 
          UM, THE OFFICE TO OUR WEST EXPRESSED THIS CONCERN, UM, WITH POTENTIAL TRASH AND SMELLS PRODUCED BY A RESTAURANT. 
          UM, PARTICULARLY WITH THE EXISTING, UH, RESTAURANTS TO THE NORTH. 
          UM, WE ALREADY MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTY TO A HIGH STANDARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO REGARDLESS OF THE TENANT, BUT ESPECIALLY WITH A RESTAURANT OR CA CAFE, GIVEN THE TRASH GENERATED, NOT ONLY WOULD WE NOT WANT TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORS, BUT WE HAVE A LARGE BUSINESS OURSELVES WITH EXISTING TENANTS THAT WE WOULD NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT EITHER. 
          AS A SMALL EXAMPLE OF HOW WE MAINTAIN OUR DUMPSTERS, WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE CITY TO KEEP OUR DUMPSTERS PUSHED BACK AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, UM, TO KEEP IT PROPERLY SCREENED AND TO LIMIT, UH, POTENTIAL UNHOUSED ENCAMPMENTS, UH, FROM BEHIND THE DUMPSTER. 
          UM, AS WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS IN THE PAST, WE'VE WORKED WITH OUR CALLING TO FIND SERVICES FOR THE UNHOUSED. 
          AND SINCE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY, WE HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE. 
          AND THE ENHANCED SCREENING WE WILL PROVIDE WILL ALSO HELP LIMIT THIS IN THE FUTURE. 
          UM, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HEARING OUR REQUEST. 
          UM, WE ARE TARGETING A MODEST LIST OF ADDED USES THAT WE HOPE DRIVE NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT, INCREASE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, AND PROVIDE A BUFFER ZONE TO THE MORE INTENSIVE SURROUNDING, UH, RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. 
          WHILE OUR PRIMARY BUSINESS IS STILL TO MANAGE A LEADING OFFICE PARK, OUR REQUEST FOR A PD WOULD ONLY ENHANCE OUR PROPERTY AND PROVIDE USES THE COMMUNITY CAN PARTAKE BEYOND STANDARD OFFICE SPACE. 
          I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. 
          YES. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER DORIAN. 
          THANK YOU TYLER. 
          UH, GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE BUILDING. 
          I THINK IT'S, UH, JUST A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING AND THANK Y'ALL FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF IT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I I DO SUPPORT, UH, DIVERSIFYING THE BUSINESSES IN THIS FACILITY. 
          ONE, ONE, YOU CAN ACTIVATE THE CENTER COURTYARD AREA, WHICH DOESN'T REALLY GET ANY USE. 
          IT'S JUST THERE TO LOOK PRETTY, UH, WITH A WATER FEATURE. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE CONCERN WAS ON THE TRAFFIC. 
          WELL, WHETHER IT BE ENOUGH PARKING SPACES IF YOU DO ADD A RESTAURANT OR A COFFEE SHOP OR, AND HOW EXTENSIVE IS THAT? BUT I MEAN, I, I DO, I DO FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE, IT CAN BE A WALKABLE SITUATION, UH, FOR MOST PEOPLE THAT ARE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW CITY HALL GOING IN AND MM-HMM . 
          AND WE'RE ACTIVATING THAT ENTIRE AREA. 
          UM, I THINK WE'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF CHANGE THERE. 
          SO I THINK THIS ADDS, UH, OPPORTUNITY, UH, TO CREATE SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY NICE, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS PARTICULAR ARCHITECTURE. 
          SO I'M, I'M IN SUPPORT FOR THIS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER BARRIOS. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, IN MY OPINION, PROBABLY ONE OF THE TOP, IF NOT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN RICHARDSON. 
          I'VE PARKED THERE MANY TIMES AS A FORMER YMCA PARENT MYSELF. 
          GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS BUILDING. 
          UH, I WISH WE HAD MORE LIKE IT. 
          UM, AND YEAH, YOU DO A GREAT JOB AT KEEPING IT UP. 
          MY QUESTION, UM, STAFF, UM, IKA IF IS ABOUT THE RESTAURANT PIECE. 
          UM, I MEAN THERE'S ALL KINDS OF RESTAURANTS. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY PUT IN, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE A A A SAE BOWL PLACE OR A SALAD PLACE WHERE, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY CAN GO DO YOGA AND THEN HAVE A SALAD AND CHIT CHAT WITH FRIENDS WHILE THEY DO THAT, THAT'S ONE TYPE OF DEMAND, THAT'S ONE KIND OF TRASH. 
          OR SHOULD THEY PUT IN, LET'S SAY A, A CHINESE RESTAURANT THAT HAS MAYBE A LOT 
          [01:35:01]
MORE TRASH, A LOT MORE VOLUME 'CAUSE OF THE LOWER MARGINS, IT HAS TO HAVE A HIGHER VOLUME. 
          ARE THEY ABLE TO GO, UH, WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR AND JUST PUT ALL RESTAURANTS IN THERE? ARE THEY LIMITED TO SAYING 50% OF THE BUILDING CAN BE RESTAURANTS? WHAT, WHAT ARE THERE, AND IF IT BECOMES AN ISSUE APPROVING THIS, ARE THERE ANY, WHAT ARE ABILITIES FOR, THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS PROPOSED RIGHT NOW FROM WHAT THE APPLICANT HAS TOLD US. 
          THEY DON'T ANTICIPATE GETTING THE TYPE OF RESTAURANT LIKE THAT. 
          UM, THEY DON'T EX THEY DON'T EXPECT TO GET THAT TYPE OF, UH, INTEREST FROM THOSE TYPES OF RESTAURANTS. 
          AND THEY DON'T THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT SPOT FOR A RESTAURANT THAT'S SEEKING MAYBE MORE DRIVE BY TRAFFIC. 
          UM, BUT THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT FURTHER TOO. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          IN SHORT . 
          YEAH. 
          UH, HAVING A MORE INTENSIVE RESTAURANT IS, WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE WORK. 
          UM, NOT TO MENTION INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE. 
          AND, UM, IT WOULD NOT ONLY WOULD IT HAVE TO BE THE PERFECT PARTNER TO DO THAT WITH, FRANKLY, I JUST DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THE SPACE OR PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE IT. 
          WHAT, WHAT WE'VE, WHAT IDEALLY WOULD BE MORE OF A CAFE STYLE ACAI BOWL, YOU KNOW, A SMALL SANDWICH, YOU KNOW, OR COFFEE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          UM, SO YEAH, THAT, THAT, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE TARGETING. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          BEAUTIFUL BILL. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORKIN. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          SO, JUST TO CLARIFY, WITH THE YMCA, UM, YOU KNOW, I LOVE, I LOVE ALTRUISTIC PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T. 
          SO WHEN THEY'RE THE ONE YOU OFFERED YOUR PARKING LOT TO THEM, SORT OF FOR FREE FOR OVERFLOW, JUST KIND OF HELP THEM OUT FOR VARIOUS EVENTS. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER INE. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. 
          A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. 
          UH, THIS IS NOT TYPICAL BUILDING THAT I SEE SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE BY OR EVEN I, I WENT THERE A COUPLE TIMES, UH, AND I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TRAFFIC THERE. 
          FOOT TRAFFIC, BUSINESS, BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANNA SEE THAT BUSINESS ABANDONED, SO THAT DOESN'T REALLY GO WITH THE CITY STYLE THING THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, HAVING MORE TRAFFIC, HAVING BUSINESS ACTIVATED THERE, THIS IS THE THING THAT'S THE GOAL. 
          UH, BUT, UH, SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, LIKE IF YOU COULD, I DON'T KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WAS ALWAYS WISHING THAT MAYBE PUT SOME GLASSES ON THE OUTSIDE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE NOT JUST A WALL, UH, SOME STORE THAT COULD BE SEEN RETAIL, MAYBE SEPHORA, SOME OTHER TYPE OF SMALL BUSINESS COULD BE MOVING HERE. 
          UH, THIS IS A NICE PLACE. 
          PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO COME AND WALK. 
          FAMILY WOULD LOVE TO COME AND WALK IF YOU LET THEM DO IT. 
          UH, RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO REASON TO GO THERE. 
          UH, SO, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE PROBABLY WIDER WALKAWAY ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING. 
          I MEAN, THAT WOULD GIVE YOU OPTION TO OPEN UP SOME OUTSIDE AREA. 
          BUT OF COURSE, I MEAN, I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS THING FOR MULTIPURPOSE USE FOR RETAIL, YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL, UH, IT'S NOT GONNA BE ALL RESTAURANT. 
          UH, I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH CHINESE. 
          I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH, UH, MEXICAN FOOD. 
          I LOVE ALL THIS. 
          SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE MIXED KIND OF FOOD, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ALL RESTAURANTS, ALL RETAIL, MIXED USE, DIFFERENT KIND OF BUSINESS, I THINK IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO BE THERE. 
          UH, I WOULD BE SUPPORTING THESE THINGS. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU COUNCILMAN MORPHINE. 
          IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, SEE IF THERE ARE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          MS. EMER, I HAVE TWO SPEAKERS. 
          MAYOR JEFF DAVIS AND DAN WASHBURN MY GLASSES. 
          I'VE LOST MY GLASSES. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          FINE. 
          UH, JEFF DAVIS, 1 0 1 NORTH GENERAL DRIVE, UH, 7 5 0 8 OH. 
          UH, MIRAMAR CITY COUNCIL, UM, DON MAGNER AND THE WHOLE CITY STAFF. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO IN THE CITY AND, AND HOW GOOD YOU, YOU CARE FOR OUR, UH, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. 
          I WON'T BE VERY LONG HERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS, UH, REZONING. 
          UM, I'M THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF, UH, HEIST PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. 
          I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT FOR 10 YEARS, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          AND, UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BORDER IS ARAPAHOE ROAD IN CUSTER, WHICH INCLUDES THIS DEVELOPMENT AND IS KNOWN AS TWILIGHT PLAZA. 
          SOME OF YOU, AS WELL AS MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVE BY, HAVE DRIVEN 
          [01:40:01]
BY THIS, THIS, UH, UH, BUSINESS PARK MANY, MANY TIMES. 
          UH, BUT FEW, IF NOT MOST OF US HAVE NEVER BEEN INSIDE. 
          WE JUST HAD A, UH, THE HEIGHTS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAD A FOOD DRIVE THAT WE HELD INSIDE THIS PLAZA, UH, SAME DAY AS THE, AS THE CHRISTMAS PARADE. 
          AND WE HAD A NICE TURNOUT AND TO A PERSON, EVERYBODY THAT CAME AND DRIVE THROUGH THERE HAD NEVER BEEN THROUGH THOSE GATES. 
          I, I HESITATE TO SAY, BUT SOME OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ON HEIGHTS PARK HAD NEVER BEEN INSIDE THOSE GATES. 
          AND SOME HAVE LIVED THERE FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS. 
          SO IT'S, UM, UH, ANYWAYS, THIS, I'M SORRY, I LOST MY PLACE. 
          I GOT RAMBLING. 
          UM, SO I HOPE SOME OF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME, IF NOT ALL OF YOU, TO EXPLORE THAT AREA AND DRIVE THROUGH AND, AND SEE WHAT THAT THAT PLACE LOOKS LIKE. 
          'CAUSE IT REALLY IS A HIDDEN JEWEL IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          HEIGHTS PARK IS WELL, AS ALL OF OUR RICHARDS NEIGHBORHOODS PLACE, A VERY HIGH VALUE TO THE VIBRANCY AND CONNECTIVITY OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESS PARK TRANSFORM INTO A WALKABLE PLAZA WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR COFFEE SHOP, RESTAURANT, FINE ARTS, RETAIL MEETING PLACES IS EXCITING AND REALLY GOOD FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE OWNERS IN PARTICULAR TAYLOR PURDUE, UH, ABOUT THEIR PLANS AND VISION FOR THE PROPERTY AND COULD NOT BE MORE ENTHUSIASTIC. 
          THEY WERE VERY RECEPTIVE TO MY COMMENTS AND EXPRESSED A REAL DESIRE TO BECOME A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          I INCLUDED SOME OF OUR, OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS REZONING EFFORT IN A RECENT NEIGHBORHOOD EMAIL BLAST, WHICH EVOKED NO NEGATIVE IMPACT, UH, COMMENTS. 
          AND I DID GET SOME, SOME POSITIVE COMMENTS. 
          I HAD ONE NEIGHBOR REACH OUT VIA FACEBOOK TO MENTION THE TRAFFIC, WHICH WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, UM, AND PARKING CONCERNS ON TWILIGHT TRAIL. 
          BUT I'M SURE THOSE CAN BE ADDRESSED. 
          AND THIS ZONING WOULD NOT, UH, THIS ZONING CHANGE WOULD NOT REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT AT ALL. 
          UM, I'M SORRY. 
          I BELIEVE TWILIGHT PLAZA WILL BE AN ASSET TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY IN THE CITY WILL VALUE IT IN, IN COMING YEARS. 
          AND ALTHOUGH I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH I LIVE AND EVERY RESIDENT, I BELIEVE THAT THE APPROVAL OF THIS ZONING REQUEST WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND TURN A MOSTLY UNKNOWN ENTITY INTO A REALLY VALUABLE ASSET IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS. 
          HI, MY NAME IS DAN WASHBURN AND I RESIDE AT 6 0 9 PARKVIEW LANE IN RICHARDSON, 7 5 0 8 OH.

          AND IN 2016 I STARTED WASHBURN REALTY GROUP, UM, WITH THE, UH, PERSPECTIVE THAT, UH, WE WANTED TO MAKE RICHARDSON KNOWN AS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA. 
          SO OUR FOCUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN RICHARDSON. 
          AND IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, UH, OUR COMPANY HAS SOLD, UH, PROBABLY 120 HOMES IN RICHARDSON ALONE. 
          UH, APPROXIMATELY 50 OF THOSE IN THE HEIGHTS PARK AREA. 
          UH, THAT'S BORDERS HERE WHERE TWILIGHT PLAZA IS. 
          UM, THE THE LARGEST HOME BUYER DEMOGRAPHIC THAT WE'RE SEEING NOWADAYS, UH, IS THE YOUNG COUPLES AND YOUNG FAMILIES. 
          UH, AND WHAT WE HEAR FROM THEM, WHETHER IT'S IN OUR OPEN HOUSES THAT THEY ATTEND OR THEIR CLIENTS THAT WE'RE SHOWING HOMES, IS THAT THEY WANT WALKABLE BIKEABLE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          UH, IT'S KIND OF GOING BACK OLD SCHOOL TO WHERE THEY CAN WALK TO, UH, A COMMUNITY, UH, WALK TO A COMMUNION AND COFFEE. 
          UH, SO WE OR ALAMO DRAFT HOUSE RIDE THEIR BIKE OVER. 
          UH, WE'RE HEARING A LOT OF THAT FROM, UH, TODAY'S HOME BUYERS. 
          SO WHEN WE MARKET A HOME FOR SALE, UH, WE ALWAYS STRESS, HEY, UH, WALK DOWN TO COMMUNION COFFEE, WALK DOWN TO THE LOCKWOOD DISTRICT AND, UH, HAVE A MEAL OR HAVE A COFFEE, RIDE YOUR BIKE OVER TO ALAMO DRAFT HOUSE OR INDUSTRIAL PIZZA. 
          UH, PEOPLE WANT LOCAL PLACES TO GO TO THAT ARE LOCAL, UM, THAT ARE WALKABLE, THAT ARE BIKEABLE. 
          AND 
          [01:45:01]
SO WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT ON THE TWILIGHT PLAZA PROJECT IS WE WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER GO-TO PLACE FOR, UH, HOMEOWNERS RESIDENTS TO GO TO, WHETHER IT'S A WALK TO OR A BIKE TO, UH, THAT WILL REALLY MAKE OUR AREA MORE APPEALING TO HOME BUYERS, UH, HOME BUYERS THAT ARE LOOKING IN RICHARDSON, IN PLANO, IN DALLAS, WHEREVER. 
          UH, THE MORE THESE LITTLE PROJECTS THAT WE GET THAT THEY CAN WALK TO THE, THE COFFEE HOUSE, WALK TO THE RESTAURANT, WALK TO THE WELLNESS CENTER, I THINK IT'S GONNA DRIVE UP THE APPEAL FOR, UH, BUYING A HOME IN OUR AREA FOR RENTING A HOME IN OUR AREA. 
          AND ULTIMATELY, I THINK IT WOULD, UH, DRIVE UP THE HOME VALUES AS WELL. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHARE WITH YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. WASHBURN. 
          IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT CARE TO SPEAK? ALRIGHT, UH, MAYOR PROTIME, HUTCHIN WRITER MAYOR, MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          I HAVE A MOTION. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER AINE SECONDED. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER AINE? UH, NO, I JUST, UH, WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, SHARES, YOU KNOW, MY THOUGHT A LITTLE MORE ON THIS BEFORE MAKING MOTION. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          UH, THE NIGHT IS YOUNG. 
          YEAH. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, GREAT, YOU KNOW, PROPOSAL AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS BEFORE, INSTEAD OF OFFICE BUILDING HIDDEN AND NOT OPEN TO THE RESIDENCE. 
          I THINK THIS WILL INCREASE THE FOOD TRAFFIC THERE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY WOULD ENJOY. 
          I WILL ENJOY , I'LL GO THERE. 
          UH, I THINK THIS IS WHAT WE NEED MORE, UH, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY MUCH STRONGER, VIBRANT. 
          SO I SEE POSITIVE THINGS AND THERE IS, UH, MORE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THIS THING THEN MUCH BETTER. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THE OWNER WILL SEE THOSE OPTION. 
          AND I THINK NEVER WOULD LOVE THIS. 
          YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH BIG ZONING CHANGE, BRINGING ANOTHER DEVELOPER OR INVESTOR TO DO THIS KIND OF THINGS, WHICH IS VERY COMPLICATED. 
          THIS IS ALREADY, WE HAVE IT. 
          I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER BAR. 
          YEAH, I AGREE. 
          GREAT PROJECT.

          UM, SO I ENCOURAGE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR, FOR THINKING IN THIS WAY. 
          UM, AND I, I HOPE WE SEE MORE OF THESE KIND OF THINGS, NOT JUST PERHAPS FROM Y'ALL BUT FROM OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AS WE CREATE THESE NEW SPACES IN OUR CITY AND RE RETHINK THE WAY, UH, WE USE SOME OF THAT OFFICE SPACE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS A CITY. 
          SO GREAT JOB ON THAT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING IT. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORKER, THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO ADD WAS, UM, JUST 'CAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES OTHER DEVELOPERS WATCH THESE MEETINGS TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT WE LIKE AND DON'T LIKE IS THAT THE OWNERS CAME IN AND THEY SAID, WE HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE WE TRIED TO LEASE IT TO, BUT WE CAN'T. 
          AND THEY PROVED THAT THEY DID THE LEGWORK AND THAT THE CURRENT MODEL DOESN'T WORK. 
          AND I LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. 
          YEAH. 
          MAYOR PROTIME, HUTCHIN RADER, READY FOR A MOTION? I SURE AM.

          IT'S A HUGE MILESTONE, VERY EXCITING AND AN INCREDIBLE HONOR FOR ME, AND I'M SURE THE REST OF THE COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO LITERALLY MAKE OUR MARK AND BE ABLE TO SIGN THAT BEAM AND BE A PART OF THAT BUILDING FOREVER. 
          IT WAS REALLY, REALLY A SPECIAL MOMENT. 
          UH, AND THEN AN EXPRESSION OF CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONS, TEXAS TECH.

          THE MARGARITA WAS THAT GOOD? HUH? THE MARGARITA WAS THAT GOOD. 
          I KNOW. 
           WAIT FOR BRUNCH .

          I JUST KNOW YOU ENJOYED ONE, SO I DID. 
          YEAH. 
          NO, IT WAS REALLY GOOD. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO, UH, I HAD THE CHANCE TO POP INTO UTD FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES ON FRIDAY AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE CAPSTONE PROJECTS THERE. 
          AND THAT WAS, UM, THAT WAS REALLY NEAT JUST TO SEE, YOU KNOW, EVEN JUST WHAT, WHAT STUDENTS CAN DO AND HOW, MAN, IT'S LIKE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF I THINK WHAT, WHAT MOST PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN IN THE WORKFORCE FOR A LONG TIME ARE REALLY, REALLY CAPABLE OF. 
          AND THEN, UM, FINALLY, UH, I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING REALLY COOL FOR, UM, MY COMPANY, THE COMPANY I WORK FOR, THEY HAVE, EVERY QUARTER WE HAVE A BUNCH OF EXECUTIVES COME IN AND DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PRESENTATIONS. 
          AND AS IT TURNS OUT, A LOT OF THOSE EXECUTIVES TOOK THE SILVER LINE THIS TIME, UH, FROM THE AIRPORT TO, UH, THE CITY LINE CAMPUS. 
          AND THAT WAS JUST REALLY COOL TO SEE LOTS OF REALLY RAY REVIEWS ABOUT JUST THE LUGGAGE SECURITY AND BEING ABLE TO WORK AND PLUG THINGS IN AND HOW CLEAN IT IS. 
          SO, AND THEY ALL GOT TO THEIR MEETINGS ON TIME, WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. 
          VERY COOL. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER INE. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          [01:55:01]
WELL, WE HEARD BIG THANKS TO DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE BIG, BIG, BIG THANKS TO OUR RPD, OUR FIRE, OUR CITY STAFF PARK STAFFS, OUR CITY MANAGER FOR THIS, ANOTHER WONDERFUL SUCCESSFUL, UH, CHRISTMAS PAR THAT WE HAD SATURDAY. 
          SO, AND OF COURSE THOSE KIDS, LITTLE KIDS THAT CAME OUT, UH, THEY, YOU KNOW, WAVE AND SMILE. 
          SO THOSE ARE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN JUST GIVE ENOUGH. 
          THANKS. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT WAS WONDERFUL. 
          AND ALSO REGARDING THAT TOPPING OFF THAT WE HAD, THE LAST BEAM WENT UP FOR THE CITY HALL, UH, BUILDING. 
          YOU KNOW, WE DID PUT SOME SIGNATURE ON THE BEAM, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S GONNA SEE IT UNLESS THERE'S ISSUE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY NOBODY WILL FIND IT NEXT A HUNDRED YEARS TO A HUNDRED YEARS BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE UP IN THE WALL SOMEWHERE, LIKE 36, 40 FEET ABOVE AND NOBODY HAVE TO OPEN UP THOSE AREA. 
          THAT MEANS NO PROBLEM. 
          SO, CONGRATULATIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          UM, AND I DID, I DON'T KNOW IF I HEARD IT MENTIONED, BUT, UH, ANYONE TALK ABOUT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS? WE DID HAVE OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, UH, UH, DINNER THIS, THIS LAST WEEK. 
          AND IT WAS, UH, REALLY JUST FANTASTIC. 
          IT'S KIND OF AN HONOR TO BE, UH, ABLE TO DO THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, UH, IN, IN, IN MY CURRENT ROLE. 
          AND, UH, IT WAS JUST A MASSIVE HONOR, UH, TO BE ABLE TO, TO THANK ALL OF THOSE FOLKS, UH, AS WELL AS, UH, TO GIVE CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS TO, UH, THE RETIRED BOARD MEMBERS, UH, AS WELL AS, UM, UH, HANDING MAYOR DUBY HIS, UH, SERVICE RING. 
          I THOUGHT THAT WAS A, A COOL OPPORTUNITY AND A COOL MOMENT FOR, FOR ALL OF HIS YEARS OF SERVICE. 
          UM, ALSO THERE WAS, UM, SOMETHING THAT WASN'T REALLY ADVERTISED VERY MUCH AND I, I JUST HEARD ABOUT IT LAST MINUTE AND WAS ASKED IF I COULD RUN OVER THERE AT, AT RICHARDSON HIGH SCHOOL. 
          I THINK THEY DIDN'T ADVERTISE IT 'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT JUST A FLOOD OF PEOPLE. 
          BUT, UM, THERE WAS A, A REALLY UNIQUE TOY GIVEAWAY THAT WAS DONE, UH, ON, ON SATURDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, UH, SOMETHING LIKE A THOUSAND KIDS THAT WERE IN NEED GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK THE, UM, UH, THE FOOTBALL FIELD AT, AT RICHARDSON HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND THE FOOTBALL FIELD WAS LINED WITH TOYS OF EVERY KIND AND, UH, THE KIDS COULD PICK UP A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SMALL TOYS PLUS ONE BIG TOY FOR CHRISTMAS. 
          AND, UH, THEY HAD DONE IT IN YEARS PAST AND APPARENTLY THEY HAD TOPPED OUT AT ABOUT 300, UH, STUDENTS OR KIDS. 
          BUT, UH, THIS YEAR THEY DID A THOUSAND, WHICH WAS REALLY COOL. 
          UH, WHILE I WAS THERE, THERE WAS A SURPRISE DONATION OF ANOTHER $10,000 WORTH OF BIKES. 
          AND SO THOSE ALL GOT UNLOADED AND A BUNCH OF KIDS GOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          SO JUST A, A REALLY COOL, UH, EXTRA EVENT. 
          AND THEN, UH, AS WAS MENTIONED, UH, I THINK I'D GET IN TROUBLE IF I DIDN'T MENTION IT. 
          AND, UH, AS A PROUD DAD, IT WAS AN, AN AMAZING, UM, EXPERIENCE, UH, WATCHING MY DAUGHTER GET MARRIED. 
          SO, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER BARRIOS, YOU HAD ANOTHER ITEM VISIT ON, UM, HATS OFF TO THE ART, UH, RICH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND THE FUMC ART CHOIR FOR AN INCREDIBLE, UM, CONCERT SATURDAY NIGHT. 
          IT REALLY WAS. 
          IT WAS, IT WAS A FANTASTIC CONCERT AS WELL. 
          ALRIGHT, IF THERE IS NO OTHER DISCUSSION WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 8:48 PM HEY, DON.
