[6. Consider authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (on behalf of the DeSoto Police Department) with the Cedar Hill ISD Police Department regarding the provision of per-prisoner contract services by the DeSoto Regional Jail]

LET'S STICK WITH E SIX. SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY AT THE PODIUM, CHIEF. YES, YES. COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING E SIX BEFORE WE CALL FOR A MOTION? YEAH. JUST WANTED TO. AND THEN MAYBE THIS IS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY OR THE CITY MANAGER. I REALLY DON'T KNOW. JUST WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT WAS CLEAR ON WHO WAS PAYING FOR THAT. SO IS THERE ANY. YEAH. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE THREE OF THAT PARTICULAR MOU AND MAYBE THAT'S TO THE CITY ATTORNEY. SO ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE ONLY THING I HAD JUST WANTED TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ISD WILL BE PAYING FOR THOSE FACILITIES. AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING NEEDS TO CHANGE, BUT. IF THIS CITY MANAGER IS THIS ONE OF THE. I'M GOING TO DEFER THAT TO CHIEF CHESNIC.

OKAY. SO THE SECTION 11, WHICH OUTLINES THE CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE THE MEDICAL CLEARANCE AND TREATMENT BEFORE THE ARRESTEE CAN BE BOOKED INTO DESOTO DETENTION. SO I JUST WANTED CLARITY, THAT'S ALL. AND SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT LEAVES. COUNCILWOMAN ROCKY, DO YOU MIND RESTATING YOUR QUESTION FOR CLARITY? I WANT TO MAKE SURE I WE IN THE AUDIENCE. HERE'S WHAT YOUR ACTUAL QUESTION IS. SO IT'S RELATED TO MEDICAL CLEARANCE. JUST CLARITY THAT THE ISD WILL BE PAYING FOR THE EMERGENCY SERVICES. THAT WAS IT. JUST WANTED TO GET CLARITY RELATED TO THAT. THAT'S ALL. SO MEDICAL CLEARANCE AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S GOING TO BE

[00:25:02]

A TWO PART QUESTION. I'M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T MEAN TO. ALL I MEANT WAS JUST I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S DOCUMENTED LATER, BUT JUST WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THAT'S CLEAR. YOU KNOW, AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS MOU. THAT WAS ALL. I WASN'T ASKING FOR AN EXPLANATION, BUT JUST WANTED TO GREATER CLARITY. THAT WAS IT. YES, YES. COUNCIL MEMBE. AND I'M SO AS I'M REVIEWING THIS, I'M TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR YOU. WE HAVE WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO THE JAIL FACILITY HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE A PRISONER ON THE BASIS OF, OF A MEDICAL ISSUE. AND AT THAT POINT, CERTAINLY THE RESPONSIBILITY IS, IS THE ISDS. ONCE THAT PRISONER IS TRANSFERRED TO US, WE WOULD THEN TAKE ON THAT RESPONSIBILITY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT INDIVIDUAL WOULD BE WOULD BE BILLED FOR THOSE SERVICES. OKAY, OKAY. IF THAT TRANSPORT TOOK PLACE AFTER IS IT IS IT I THINK THE QUESTION IS THE PRACTICE IS IF THEY SHOW UP AT YOUR FACILITY, THEY GO THROUGH THIS CLEARANCE. IF THEY DON'T PASS THIS CLEARANCE, YOU DON'T ACCEPT THEM INTO THE FACILITY, CORRECT? YES. THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT THE QUESTION IS. THEY DON'T THEY DON'T GET PAST THE FRONT DOOR. IF THEY DON'T MEET THIS AND THEY'RE GIVEN BACK TO THE AGENCY THAT BROUGHT THEM THERE. CORRECT. AND WHAT THEY DO AT THAT POINT IS THEY HAVE TO GO EITHER PROVIDE PROPER MEDICAL CLEARANCE WITH DOCUMENTATION AND THEN RETURN TO US OR TAKE THEM TO ANOTHER FACILITY. OTHERWISE, IF WE ACCEPT THEM, THEN WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. THEN THEY'RE IN OUR CUSTODY, THEN WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR BASICALLY SITTING WITH THEM. THAT'S CORRECT, THAT'S CORRECT. AND THAT DETERMINATION IS MADE BY THE, I GUESS, THE OFFICER WHO IS IN FRONT OF THAT PARTICULAR ATTENDEE. ABSOLUTELY. IT'S MADE BY THE RANKING OFFICER IN OUR FACILITY. SO WE MAKE THAT DECISION ON WHO WE ACCEPT. OKAY, OKAY. THAT'S FINE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT WAS EXPLICITLY CLEAR THAT WAS IT.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU. IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING E SIX, I WILL CALL FOR A MOTION COUNCIL. SO MOVED. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DOCTOR MARK, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL TO APPROVE AS APPROVE E SIX AS PRESENTED COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. SAME SIGN.

[5. Consider accepting the Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report & Single Audit Report]

TO ITEM E FIVE. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN BYRD. I BELIEVE YOU ASKED FOR THAT TO BE PULLED.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. AND I, I WANT THIS ITEM PULLED BECAUSE IT'S AN INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT FOR THOSE WHO WORK BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT WHOSE JOB IS VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF DESOTO. AND THAT IS THE FINANCIAL REPORTS. WE JUST COMPLETED OUR FINANCIAL AUDIT AND WE HAD AN UNMODIFIED OPINION, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL THAT AN INSTITUTION CAN RECEIVE FROM A CPA FIRM. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST YEAR, BUT IT IS ONE OF MANY CONSECUTIVE YEARS THAT MR. CORMIER AND MISS SUTTON HAVE ACHIEVED THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT. AND IT WAS TOO GREAT JUST TO LEAVE ON A CONSENT AGENDA WITHOUT THE CITIZENS UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR AUDIT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE SENIOR SINGLE AUDITS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. AND ONCE AGAIN, OUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF TRACY CORMIER AND MISS SUTTON, HAVE ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST LEVEL THAT A CPA FIRM CAN AWARD TO A GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION, AND THAT IS AN UNMODIFIED, UNMODIFIED OPINION.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, MR. CORMIER. ALSO, IT IS IT IS SUSPECTED THAT FOR THE 28TH YEAR THAT WE WILL RECEIVE THE CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY THROUGH A GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG ITSELF. SO FOR 27 YEARS, WE HAVE GOTTEN EXCELLENCE FROM OUR PEERS WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS, AGAIN THE HIGHEST RATING THAT A CITY CAN GET FROM THE GOVERNMENT, FROM THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, AND ALL OF THOSE SMART GUYS THAT MAKE SURE THAT THE FINANCIAL BOOKS HAPPEN. SO AGAIN, I HOPE I'M NOT OUT OF LINE, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT A HAND CLAP. I YIELD BACK. MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN PULLED FOR A SEPARATE VOTE. COUNCIL, IS THERE A MOTION? SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY MAYOR PRO TEM HUGHES. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BURR TO APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED.

COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. SAME SIGN. THAT MOTION PASSES

[1. Conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan.]

UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. MISS THOMAS WILL HAVE THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, PLEASE. YES, MA'AM. NEXT, WE MOVE INTO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS. ATTENDEES MAY SPEAK ON ANY ITEM LISTED ON THE AGENDA DURING THAT PORTION OF THE AGENDA. HOWEVER, FOR TOPICS NOT SCHEDULED, ATTENDEES WILL SPEAK DURING CITIZEN APPEARANCES. THE STANDARD TIME LIMIT IS THREE MINUTES PER

[00:30:02]

SPEAKER AND MAY BE MODIFIED AT THE MAYOR'S DISCRETION TO MAINTAIN AN EFFICIENT FLOW OF THE MEETING. COMMENT CARDS RELATED TO SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEMS ARE DUE PRIOR TO THE INTRODUCTION OF AN AGENDA ITEM. HOWEVER, COMMENT CARDS RELATED TO THE CITIZEN APPEARANCES PORTION OF THE AGENDA MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE AMBASSADORS TABLE PRIOR TO THE START OF THE MEETING. FIRST, WE HAVE CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, CDBG 2025 THROUGH 2020 2030. CONSOLIDATED PLAN MAKING THAT PRESENTATION IS DOCTOR ESTHER WILLIAMS, COMMUNITY SERVICE AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS DIRECTOR. GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR WILLIAMS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN, JUST THE BEGINNING OF IT. SO THIS PUBLIC HEARING SERVES AS AN INITIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND CITY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON CURRENT CDBG FUNDED PROGRAMS AND TO DISCUSS THE OVERALL DIRECTION FOR THE UPCOMING CONSOLIDATED PLAN. COMMUNITY INPUT IS ESSENTIAL IN SHAPING THE STRATEGIES AND PRIORITIES THAT WILL GUIDE THE CDBG INVESTMENTS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. SO LET'S START BY UNDERSTANDING THE FOUNDATION OF THIS PLAN, WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. THE CDBG PROGRAM. EACH YEAR, THE CITY OF DESOTO RECEIVES A CERTAIN ANNUAL ALLOTMENT FROM THE CDBG FUNDS FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, THE CITY'S ANNUAL CDBG FUNDING IS APPROXIMATELY $273,000, AND THIS IS USED TO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. ACTIVITIES MUST PRIMARILY BENEFIT LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, WHICH IS SHOWN WITH THE LESS THAN 80% OF THE ARMY AREA MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME, AND FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 THIS PAST YEAR, THE 80% AMI LIMIT FOR A FOUR PERSON HOUSEHOLD IS $88,250. SO HOW DO WE DECIDE WHERE THE FUNDING GOES? THAT'S WHERE THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN COMES IN. SO EVERY FIVE YEARS WE HAVE TO TURN IN A CONSOLIDATED PLAN, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO COVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WORTH OF EXPENDITURES. SO THIS CAN GO INTO DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT AREAS, DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO LATER. AND IT ASSESSES. SO THE COMP PLAN ITSELF PROVIDES THE DATA THAT WE USE IN ORDER TO HELP US GUIDE EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO USE. THE FUNDS FOR THE COMP PLAN ASSESSES THE COMMUNITY'S HOUSING, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS, AS WELL AS USE DATA ANALYSIS, STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK, AS WELL AS COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. AND THEN WE PRIORITIZE THE NEEDS BASED ON THE DATA. AND THEN THAT ALSO FEEDS INTO WHAT WE USE THE FUNDS FOR EACH YEAR, WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. OKAY. SO WHAT GOES INTO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN? THIS IS WHAT ME AND MY TEAM WILL BE GATHERING IN THE NEXT FEW FEW WEEKS, FEW MONTHS. IT INCLUDES DATA ANALYSIS FROM ALL OF THOSE AREAS, THE US CENSUS DATA, HUD DATA, HOMELESS RESOURCES DATA AND PUBLIC HOUSING DATA, LOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANS. BUT WHERE WE COME IN AS A COMMUNITY IS IN OUR STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY INPUT.

SO STAKEHOLDER INPUT FROM OUR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO PROVIDE SERVICES TO DESOTO RESIDENTS. AND THEN MY BIGGEST PART ARE WHERE WE GET THE MOST OF OUR INFORMATION IS FROM OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS SURVEY, AS WELL AS OUR OUTREACH AND OUR MEETINGS. OKAY, SO JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND OF WHAT WE CAN USE FUNDS FOR, JUST SO YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU GET THE SURVEY, LIKE WHAT TO WHAT TO THINK ABOUT. SO 15% OF OUR CDBG FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR WHAT WE CALL PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. THESE ARE JUST A SHORT LIST OF WHAT ARE TYPICALLY USED WITHIN THAT CATEGORY. SERVICES FOR SENIORS, CHILDCARE, TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS, SHORT TERM EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE LIKE RENT AND UTILITIES ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS EDUCATION AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS. SO CURRENTLY WE'RE USING THOSE THOSE FUNDS FOR OUR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM, WHICH WHICH PROVIDES $80 PER MONTH FOR OUR SENIORS SO THEY CAN MAKE THEIR TRIPS TO HEALTH, TO THEIR DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS AND GROCERIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN THE OTHER ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE THOSE ITEMS LISTED THERE. THIS YEAR, WE'RE USING OUR CDBG ACTIVITIES AT 65% TOWARDS HOME REPAIR FOR ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS, AS WELL AS REPAIRS TO THE SENIOR CENTER. OKAY, SO NEXT, PRETTY MUCH THE TIME TIMELINE THAT THIS WHOLE PROCESS TAKES TAKES FROM NOW UNTIL EARLY AUGUST OR THE VERY BEGINNING OF AUGUST. STARTING TODAY, WE ARE OPENING OUR PUBLIC HEARING SO

[00:35:04]

THAT WE CAN GET SOME FEEDBACK HERE TONIGHT AS WELL, AS WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE LAUNCHING OUR SURVEY ONLINE TOMORROW, IN WHICH ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS CAN GO AND COMPLETE THE SURVEY, TURN IT IN AND IT WILL BE INCLUDED INTO OUR DATA THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WE ARE ALSO. SO THAT'S WHAT'S STARTING TODAY. SORRY FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WE'RE ALSO HOSTING OR BEING A PART OF DIFFERENT SCHEDULED MEETINGS WHERE WE CAN ALSO CONTINUE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, PROVIDE THE SURVEY THERE IN IN PERSON HARD COPY AS WELL AS ONLINE AS WELL, AND JUST REALLY GIVE YOU AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU CAN SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS ON YOUR SURVEY, WHICH WILL AGAIN CONTINUE TO GUIDE OUR OUR PROJECTED PLAN OR OUR PLAN THAT WE WILL PRESENT TO YOU IN JULY.

SO IN JULY, WE WILL HAVE ALL OF THAT DATA PRESENTED TO YOU, SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT THE COMMUNITY SAYS, WHAT OUR STAKEHOLDERS ARE SAYING ARE THE NEEDS HERE IN THE CITY, AND THEN ALLOW ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO BE PROVIDED THAT AT THAT IN THAT EVENING, AS WE PRESENT TO YOU WHAT WE WOULD HAVE AS OUR FORMAL PROPOSAL FOR NOT ONLY OUR OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN, BUT ALSO OUR ANNUAL PLAN FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR, AND THEN BY THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, WE WILL HAVE WE WILL ASK YOU TO ADOPT THE PLAN AS WELL AS THE THAT THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, AS WELL AS THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. AND I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION WHEN I FIRST STARTED DOING THE CDBG, I JUST THOUGHT THAT THE 270 TO 2 TO $300,000 WAS JUST THAT'S ALL WE COULD SPEND EACH YEAR. BUT I WANTED TO ALSO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN INSIGHT THAT OTHER CITIES ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE FIVE YEARS PUT TOGETHER. SO SOMETIMES THAT KIND OF OPENS UP MORE, MORE THOUGHT PROCESS AS FAR AS WHAT WE COULD USE THIS FOR, INSTEAD OF JUST A $270,000 YEARLY PROJECT. WHAT IF WE DID A, YOU KNOW, A FIVE YEAR PROJECT THAT COULD SPAN ALL OF THE FIVE YEAR SOURCE OF FUNDS? SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AS YOU'RE COMPLETING THE SURVEY. WHERE CAN WHERE CAN THESE FUNDS REALLY BE USEFUL AND WHERE CAN IT REALLY MAKE AN IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY? AND THAT'S IT. I'M HERE TO YIELD AND FIELD ANY QUESTIONS OR NO CARDS. THANK YOU. DOCTOR WILLIAMS. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'M GOING TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED. SECOND IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHISHOLM TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? HEARING THAT WE HAVE NO CARDS, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE OUR PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL. SECOND, IT HAS BEEN MOVED BY MAYOR PRO TEM HUGHES. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BYRD COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OUR PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. I BELIEVE THERE'S NO FURTHER ACTION REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME. CORRECT, DOCTOR WILLIAMS OKAY. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL HAVE THE NEXT ITEM. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. NO.

CAN WE ASK QUESTIONS? OH, YES I APOLOGIZE. YES. COUNCIL CAN ASK QUESTIONS TONIGHT. COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE INDICATE THAT BY TURNING ON YOUR LIGHT. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL, I THINK THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I WANTED TO KNOW, ARE WE GOING TO USE A CONSULTANT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST, RECENT PAST FOR THIS NEXT ITERATION? YES, MA'AM. WE'RE USING GROW AMERICA WITH MISS PATTI SANTA CRUZ. OKAY. AND THEN I WANTED TO ALSO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND JUST AS IT RELATES TO METRICS OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN. DO WE CAN WE GET THAT? JUST METRICS OF, YOU KNOW, OVER THE PAST, I GUESS, REALLY FIVE YEARS, JUST SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAS WORKED WELL, WHICH I HAVE MY SUSPICIONS, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT DATA. SURE. I CAN DO THAT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RAPHAEL. COUNCIL MEMBER CHISHOLM THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. I DO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OUTREACH, AND I KNOW WE'VE WE'VE DONE THAT QUITE A FEW TIMES, AND I'M SURE WE'VE HAD SOME LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT AND JUST HOW WE COMMUNICATED. I KNOW THAT YOU MENTIONED A TIMELINE PLAN TO ATTEND THE MAYOR'S QUARTERLY, THE FAITH LEADERS BREAKFAST, AND THE COMMUNITY CONFERENCE, BUT SPECIFICALLY, ARE WE ALLOCATING DOLLARS IN THE BUDGET FOR LIKE, PHYSICAL OUTREACH TO OUR RESIDENTS, WHETHER IT IS A POSTCARD OR ARE WE JUST SETTLING FOR THE WATER BILL THAT TENDS TO NOT GET READ? I JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW CAN WE GET MORE PEOPLE ENGAGED, OR BUSINESSES FOR THAT MATTER? WE'RE HOME TO SEVERAL SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES TO HELP NAVIGATE THAT MESSAGE CHURCHES, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS ON THAT PLAN. YES, MA'AM. WE DO HAVE WE ARE ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR THE

[00:40:02]

PHYSICAL OUTREACH WITH THE POSTCARDS, DOOR HANGERS. WE NEED IT. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE SENDING THINGS OUT WITH THE QR CODE OR IN IN A LINK THAT THEY CAN GO TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY AND TO GET MORE INFORMATION. WE ARE I THINK, I BELIEVE OUR WEBSITE IS PRETTY UPDATED. SO DESOTO, TEXAS.ORG/CDBG AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO ALL THE DIFFERENT LINKS ON EXACTLY WHAT THE COMP PLAN IS, WHAT IT CAN BE USED FOR, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IT GIVES INFORMATION ON THERE, BUT THAT WILL BE ACCESSIBLE ON THAT POSTCARD. SORORITY AND SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES IS A GREAT IDEA. WE WILL DEFINITELY HIGHLIGHT THAT WE ARE OUR TEAM IS WE ACTUALLY MET TODAY, AND WE HAVE OUR LIST OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE ARE REACHING OUT TO. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK MAYOR PROCTOR AT THE NEXT FAITH LEADERS LUNCH THAT I HOST AN ACTUAL STAKEHOLDERS MEETING RIGHT AFTER, SO THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE THAT WANT TO LEARN MORE, WE DO HAVE A MORE FORMAL PRESENTATION THAT WE WILL SEND. WE WILL BE PRESENTING JUST, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND KIND OF GET THEM ENGAGED IN TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY FEEL IS NEEDED IN THE CITY. AND THEN WE WILL TAKE ALL OF THAT AS DATA TO, TO FUEL OUR, OUR, OUR DATA AS WELL. AND DOES THAT ALSO INCLUDE LIKE OUR YOUR MICROPHONE IS NOT ON. YES. DOES IT INCLUDE OUR UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS LIKE OUR CRAWFISH FESTIVAL, OUR 4TH OF JULY OR JUNETEENTH? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. WE DO PLAN ON HAVING OUR OWN TABLE AND HAVING THE INFORMATION PREPARED FOR THAT. BUT I BELIEVE DOCTOR MARX WAS. THANK YOU. I HAVE A VERY QUICK QUESTION. IT HAS TO DO WITH INFRASTRUCTURE, SIDEWALKS. IF WE WENT WITH SIDEWALKS, WOULD THAT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THAT? 7525 POLICY THAT WE HAVE FOR THE REPAIRS OF SIDEWALKS? AS LONG AS THE PEOPLE MEET THAT 80, CORRECT. AM I SO IT CAN EITHER BE THE SINGLE SINGLE PERSON APPLICANT OR THE AREA ITSELF CAN BE LOOKED AT TO SEE IF THEY ARE WITHIN THAT THE LMI AREA. THEN WE CAN CONSIDER THAT AS A PROJECT AS WELL. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL, ANOTHER QUESTION RELATED. JUST GOING BACK TO THE MARKETING, MY REQUEST WOULD BE THAT WE ALSO INCLUDE TARGETED MARKETING TO THE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME FOR WHICH WE DID RECEIVE THESE FUNDS. SO IF WE CAN TARGET THOSE CENSUS TRACTS THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LARGE CONGREGATION OF PEOPLE IN THAT THAT CATEGORY. OKAY, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND THEN AS IT RELATES TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS, MY INQUIRIES WOULD BE WANTING TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE'S AN APPETITE FOR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMING THROUGH CDBG AND THEN APPETITE FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. AND I THINK THOSE SKEW ON THE YOUNGER SIDE, I KNOW WE'VE SKEWED, YOU KNOW, TO OUR ADULT POPULATION, BUT JUST KIND OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT FIT IN THE YOUTH LANE OR THE YOUNGER FAMILY LANE TO SEE IF THAT'S A OPPORTUNITY THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS WANT TO EXPLORE FOR SURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU COUNCIL. I SEE NO ADDITIONAL LIGHTS FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU, DOCTOR WILLIAMS. AT THIS TIME, MISS

[00:50:02]

TO SPEAK. ROSALIND ALLEN, DESOTO, TEXAS. SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY HERE THAT'S GOING TO BE LOCATED ON HAMPTON, RIGHT JUST ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF GLENN HEIGHTS.

THEIR PROPERTY WAS WISHING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE IT'S GOING TO BE A SINGLE FAMILY IN THAT IT'S GOING TO NOT BE A RENTERS PROPERTY THAT WE DO NOT KNOW OF. AND WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET SOME BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND SOME CLARITY ON WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. AND RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE LOCATED, IT'S NOT A GOOD SITE FOR THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE GOING TO BE BEHIND IT. AND ON THE SIDE OF IT, YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE SEEN IN THEIR BACKYARDS. AND WE JUST NEED SOME MORE CLARIFICATION ON WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS ALLEN. YOU'RE WELCOME. GLORIA JERNIGAN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND TEAM. MY NAME IS GLORIA JERNIGAN, AND I'M FROM DESOTO, TEXAS, AND I ACTUALLY LIVE BEHIND THE SITE THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BUILD. AND ONE OF THE THINGS, ALONG WITH MISS ALLEN, I'M CONCERNED IF IT'S GOING TO BE RENTALS SECTION EIGHT OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE PROPERTY THAT PEOPLE WILL BUY. AND MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TWO LANES NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND ON HAMPTON. THE TRAFFIC IS ALREADY A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE WE HAVE A SMALL ALCOHOL STORE. AND BASED ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS, TRAFFIC SOMETIME CAN LEAD HALFWAY GOING NORTHBOUND. AND SO THERE'S A BIG CONCERN ABOUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET AROUND WITH JUST A SMALL, NARROW STREET. AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT AS WELL. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO GO IN AND OUT OF THEIR PROPERTY AND HOW WILL IT AFFECT HAMPTON MEADOWS. BECAUSE I AM A HOMEOWNER IN HAMPTON MEADOWS, AND SO I'M NOT OPPOSED TO BEAUTIFYING THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I AM OPPOSED IF IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A NEIGHBORHOOD, A LOT OF TRAFFIC, A LOT OF CRIME. SO IF WE CAN JUST GET THE DEVELOPER TO KIND OF ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE POSED THOSE QUESTIONS BEFORE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. SO I'D LIKE TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HIS THOUGHTS AND THEN PROCEED FROM THERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL CARDS FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK. SO AT THIS TIME, COUNCIL, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PARKER, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM HUGHES, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. COUNCIL. I WILL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MADAM MAYOR, I. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REMAND THEM BACK TO P AND Z FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION ON. CASE NUMBER. AND I'M TRYING TO GET THE CASE. HOLD ON JUST A SECOND. CASE Z153424. YOUR YOUR MOTION. I WANT TO CLARIFY. YOUR MOTION IS TO REMAND REMANDED BACK TO P AND Z FOR FURTHER QUESTIONING AND CLARIFICATION.

IS THERE A SECOND SECOND? IT'S BEEN MOVED. AND SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL TO REMAND THIS CASE. BACK TO PLANNING AND ZONING COUNCIL. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. COUNCIL. IS THERE DISCUSSION? YES. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER PARKER AND MY QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY GO TO THE TO THE ACTUAL DEVELOPER. SO CAN WE HAVE THEM COME UP? IF THE APPLICANT CAN PLEASE COME UP.

THANK YOU. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. YES. MY NAME IS JORGE GONZALEZ. I'M WITH SOUTHLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS. MY RESIDENCY IS IN FRISCO, TEXAS. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT. I DID WANT TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS. I DID ASK THESE QUESTIONS PREVIOUS TO TODAY, AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME RESEARCH THAT STILL NEEDED TO BE DONE. ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS WAS, FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU HAVE A DETENTION POND IN THE BACK END OF THE PROPERTY. AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF AN HOA. SO I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE ACTUAL COMMUNITY WOULD BE BEAUTIFIED.

WHO'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT? HOW DOES THAT ALL WORK? ESPECIALLY SITTING WHERE IT SITS. AND THEN THE DETENTION POND IS BEING BUILT ON THE BACK END, ON THE SOUTH END OF IT, WHICH WOULD TOUCH GLENN HEIGHTS OR BE RIGHT NEXT TO GLENN HEIGHTS. HAVE WE ACTUALLY HAD

[00:55:05]

ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH GLENN HEIGHTS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT, WHERE IS THE WATER GOING? BECAUSE THE DETENTION POND IS ON THE BACK END, THERE'S NO OTHER OUTLET. SO I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT WAS ALL GOING TO WORK. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS, WHEN WE'RE TALKING IN TERMS OF WHERE THIS SITS, IT SITS RIGHT NEXT TO POWER LINES. THERE ARE USUALLY RULES AS TO HOW THOSE POWER LINES WORK AND HOW FAR FROM A POWER LINE. NOT ONLY IS A DETENTION POND, BUT ALSO AN ACTUAL RESIDENCE. SO SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED BEFORE, AND I THINK THE AND I'M NOT CERTAIN IF IT WAS THE DEVELOPER THAT WAS PRESENT. AND HE DID SAY THAT HE WAS GOING TO COME BACK AND ASK, GET THAT ANSWERS AND BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. BUT I NEVER GOT THOSE ANSWERS NECESSARILY. THERE ARE SOME THINGS HE DID DO. WE SAID WE WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THERE'S A PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT WASN'T BEING MAINTAINED, THAT NOW IS MAINTAINED. THEY CAME OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS BACK AND DID THAT MAINTENANCE. BUT THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE WE ARE IN AN HOA. AND SO WE LIKE TO KEEP OURS LOOKING A CERTAIN WAY. AND THEN IF WE HAVE THIS PROPERTY WITH NO HOA, HOW IS ALL THAT GOING TO WORK? YES, MA'AM. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE GREAT QUESTIONS. SO THE FIRST THE FIRST THING IS THAT IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE AN HOA. THESE THESE ARE FOR SALE PRODUCT. I KNOW THAT WAS ONE QUESTION FROM THE AUDIENCE. SO WITH THE FOR SALE PRODUCT, EACH PERSON WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY INTO AN HOA FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE HERE, INCLUDING THE DETENTION POND THAT WE'D HAVE AS WELL. THE DETENTION POND IS REALLY A CITY REQUIREMENT. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN FLOWS TO PREDEVELOPMENT FLOWS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE DO. AND SO YEAH, SO WE WOULD BE WE'D BE MAINTAINING THAT AS PART OF THE, AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOA. OKAY. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMEMBER PARKER. DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR QUESTIONS. LET'S SEE. I'M JUST MAKING SURE. AND AS FAR AS THE POWER LINES ARE CONCERNED, DID WE GET THE ANSWER ON THAT? NO, NO SORRY I TALKED TO POWER LINES. YEAH. SO THE POWER LINES RIGHT NOW THAT THE HIGH TENSION LINES, THE WAY THEY'RE SITUATED, WE DEFINITELY MEET THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED FOR A TWO STORY HOME FROM THOSE HIGH TENSION LINES. OKAY. SO THERE'S NO ISSUE WITH WITH PROXIMITY OF WHERE WE HAVE THE HOMES. WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SEPARATION HERE. PRETTY PRETTY NICE SEPARATION. AND IT'S IN A PRETTY PRETTY BIG EASEMENT AS WELL. IT'S A 250 FOOT WIDE EASEMENT. AND THOSE THOSE HIGH TENSION LINES ARE KIND OF NOT NOT ON THE PERIMETER OF IT. THEY'RE THEY'RE MORE IN THE CENTER. AND SO THE PART THAT ACTUALLY BUTTS UP AGAINST HAMPTON MEADOWS, THE PART THAT BUTTS UP AGAINST IT, IS, IS THAT GOING TO BE A PART OF THE MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THAT HOA? SO THE WHICH WHICH PART? I'M SORRY. REMEMBER THERE IS A WELL YOU MAY NOT THE HE MAY UNDERSTAND IT MR. CORREA OR WE HAD A CONVERSATION. WE WERE EXPLAINING THE BACK END OF THE HAMPTON MEADOWS WAS NOT BEING MAINTAINED AT ALL. YEAH. SO WE HAVE ABOUT SIX ACRES OF EASEMENT. YEAH. YES. THAT THAT WOULD BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA. SO IT WILL BE A PART OF THIS SITE PLAN. IT IS PART OF THE SITE PLAN. YES MA'AM. IT IS CURRENTLY PART OF THE SITE PLAN.

WELL, BASED ON THE SUBMITTED EXHIBIT, WE'RE JUST NOT PROPOSING ANYTHING IN THAT EASEMENT BECAUSE IT'S AN EASEMENT. OH, OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. WE. YEAH. WE CAN'T WE CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH IN THERE. I MEAN, RIGHT NOW THERE'S A TRAIL THAT THAT GOES ALONG THE BACK AND PART OF THIS PROCESS. I DON'T EVEN THINK THAT TRAILS IN AN EASEMENT RIGHT NOW. WE WOULD LOOK TO DEDICATE THAT EASEMENT SO THAT THAT THAT TRAILS, YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATELY ON THERE. SO THE FENCING WOULD BE REMOVED, WHICH FENCING? THERE IS A WROUGHT IRON FENCE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND. YES, MA'AM. THAT FENCE HAS TO BE REMOVED. WE ARE LOOKING TO PUT A SCREEN FENCE ALONG THE SOUTH BOUNDARY FOR GLENN HEIGHTS. AND IF I COULD JUST IF I COULD ADDRESS THE QUESTION THAT CAME UP FROM FROM THE FOLKS IN THE SEPARATION. I MEAN, WE HAVE WE HAVE A 15 FOOT ALLEY ALONG THE SOUTH THAT GOES EAST WEST. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S NO THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT.

QUESTIONS. HOW DO I USE IT? PUSH THE GREEN BUTTON. THERE IT IS OKAY. GOTCHA OKAY. SO YEAH SO WE HAVE A 15 FOOT ALLEY RIGHT HERE. RIGHT HERE IS ANOTHER 15 FOOT SETBACK LINE THAT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE. AND THERE'S ANOTHER ALLEY HERE. AND THEN THE HOMES WOULD BE IN HERE. SO THERE'D BE PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST 80FT OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE HOMES, THE BACK OF THESE TOWNHOMES AND THE, AND THE BACKYARD OF, OF THESE RESIDENTS IN GLENN HEIGHTS. I MEAN, THIS IS BEAR BEAR CREEK MEADOWS HERE AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S HAMPTON MEADOWS UP HERE. AND SO YEAH. SO WE'D HAVE WE'D HAVE SOME GREAT SEPARATION THERE WITH WITH WHAT WE HAVE. I MEAN, THE OTHER POINT HERE TOO, IS THAT THE WE ARE LOOKING TO DO THIS IN PHASES. WE ARE LOOKING TO DO THESE FIVE TOWNHOMES HERE INITIALLY WITH WITH WHAT WE'RE WITH, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW WITH, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF WHAT WE HAVE MINIMAL TRAFFIC WITH WITH 16 TOWNHOMES, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A BIG ADDITION. AND THE PLUS IT, YOU KNOW, MEETS THE COMP PLAN. AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN

[01:00:06]

ATTRACTIVE PRODUCT THAT WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING TO PUT THEIR PRICE RANGE 320 TO 370 WHICH IS COMPARABLE TO THE AREA. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THANK YOU. JUST ONE LAST QUESTION ON THE ACTUAL EXHIBIT OR THE DOCUMENT IT SAYS SINGLE FAMILY. IS THIS SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED SFA OR SF. IT'S EASIER. IT SAYS IT'S ATTACHED. SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED. IT SAYS SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED OKAY.

YEAH. BUT ON THIS PRESENTATION I THINK IT SAID JUST SINGLE FAMILY. BUT OKAY. THANK YOU I YIELD BACK. THANK YOU, DOCTOR MARKS. THANK YOU. MADAM MAYOR. THIS IS A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

CAN I HAVE STAFF FOR JUST A SECOND? OKAY. GREAT. THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. AND WITH AGRICULTURAL, IT COMES WITH DETACHED, AM I CORRECT IN AGRICULTURE? IT IS NOT ZONED FOR RESIDENTIAL AT ALL. HE WOULD IN ORDER FOR HIM TO DEVELOP IT, HE WOULD HAVE TO FOR RESIDENTIAL. HE HAS TO CHANGE IT TO RESIDENTIAL. I THINK IN THIS IS IT. IS IT NOT AGRICULTURAL WITH DETACHED DOES THAT AND THE REASON YOU'RE COMING BEFORE US IS BECAUSE YOU WANTED ATTACHED? NO, MA'AM. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURAL WITH NO SINGLE FAMILY DESIGNATION. AND SO THE REASON WHY WE ARE BEFORE THE COUNCIL TONIGHT IS TO REQUEST REZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL TO SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED. OKAY, SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT MEANS THAT IT DOES NOT NEED TO GO BACK TO P AND Z BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY THEY'VE ALREADY COME TO US WITH A RECOMMENDATION. IT'S JUST LEFT UP TO US TO MOVE IT FORWARD. IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. YOU'RE CORRECT. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, THIS IS A WHAT WE CALL A STRAIGHT ZONING CASE. IT'S NOT A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. SO ALL YOU'RE APPROVING TONIGHT IS GOING FROM AGRICULTURAL TO THIS ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO APPROVE IT TONIGHT, THEN THAT YOU'RE MORE OR LESS SAYING THAT WE WANT SOMETHING ELSE IN THAT AREA. WE DON'T WANT WHAT WHAT OUR COMP PLAN SHOWS. SO LOOKING AT THE PRETTY EXHIBITS AND THE SITE PLANS, YOU'RE NOT APPROVING THOSE TONIGHT. YOU'RE SIMPLY JUST APPROVING THE ZONING. THAT'S IT. ALL THE SITE PLANS AND SO FORTH. THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FENCING THAT COMES LATER, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TONIGHT. TONIGHT IS JUST ZONING.

IS THIS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY? DOES IT CONFORM WITH OUR COMP PLAN? YES, SIR.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO MENTION. IT'S JUST WITH THE SFA RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS, THEY HAVE TO GIVE A DETAILED CONCEPT PLAN. BUT NORMALLY AT THIS STAGE YOU WOULDN'T SEE. BUT I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT'S NOT BEING APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL IS JUST APPROVING IS JUST APPROVING THE ZONING TONIGHT. YES. COUNSELOR. THAT ANY. THANK YOU, MISS COLTON AND MISS WILLIAMS COUNCIL. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR HEARING. NONE. THERE IS A COUNCIL MEMBER. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU TO RESTATE THE MOTION. YES. THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER PARKER, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL TO REMAND THIS ITEM BACK TO P AND Z FOR MORE QUESTIONING. SO THAT IS THE MOTION THAT IS ON THE FLOOR. MR. GRIFFIN, DO WE NEED TO READ THE ORDINANCE BEFORE WE CALL FOR A VOTE? NO, BECAUSE IT'S NOT APPROVING THE ORDINANCE VOTE. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, COUNCIL, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. WE WILL VOTE. CAN WE USE OUR VOTING PASS? MR. TO WE CAN DO A ROLL CALL. OKAY. THANK YOU. EXCUSE ME, MADAM MAYOR. YES? THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. SURE. YEAH. I'M SORRY, I WAS JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED BY THE MOTION, BECAUSE WE DID GET APPROVAL AT P AND Z, AND IF THIS DOES PASS, WE'D PROBABLY JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS YOU WOULD LIKE US TO ASK P AND Z, BECAUSE IT DID GET IT DID GET APPROVED AND UNANIMOUSLY. AND I THINK WE HAD ONE ONE DISSENTING VOTE. BUT YEAH, IF THIS MOTION DOES PASS, WE WOULD JUST LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION. NO LEGAL REASON FOR THIS TO BE REMANDED BACK TO THE P AND Z. SORRY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. SO WE CAN THEY CAN AMEND IT OR WE CAN VOTE. AND IF IT PASSES OR FAILS, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD THAT WAY. SO THE PERSON WHO MADE THE MOTION, WOULD YOU LIKE TO AMEND YOUR MOTION? MR. CITY COUNCIL, THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. MISS THOMAS, IF YOU COULD CONDUCT A ROLL CALL, PLEASE. YES, MA'AM.

WHAT DROVE THE DECISION TO INVEST THE MONEY HERE INSTEAD OF OTHER PLACES? SO WITH US BEING AN AN ACCREDITED DEPARTMENT, ONE OF OUR MAIN GOALS IS TO BE ON TOP OF THE TRENDS, ESPECIALLY IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS $2 MILLION OVER OVER BUDGET, SO WE HAD TO GO BACK AND REDESIGN THAT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD THE LANE EXTENSION FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE. FOR THE NOT MUCH POOL, THE OLYMPIC POOL.
