[00:00:02]
ALL RIGHT. WELL, GOOD EVENING. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
[CALL TO ORDER]
THE TIME IS 6:32 P.M..THIS WILL BEGIN THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON.
WE WILL BEGIN BY TAKING ROLL CALL.
MYSELF BRIANNA CHACON IS PRESENT.
WE WILL START WITH OUR INVOCATION TONIGHT.
WE HAVE MR. STAN [INAUDIBLE] WITH US.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR MANY BLESSINGS.
LORD WE THANK YOU FOR THE RAIN WE GOT TODAY.
AND IT'S JUST A REMINDER THAT YOU SEND THE RAIN.
AND WE THANK FOR THE PROTECTION YOU'VE PUT UPON US.
WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
WE PRAY FOR THE CITY, FOR THE WELFARE OF THE CITY.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO.
AND WE JUST PRAY YOUR BLESSINGS ON THEM THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL AND OUR GOVERNORS WILL WILL HAVE GREAT EARS TO LISTEN AND HUMBLE HEARTS TO EXPRESS WITH WISDOM WHAT SHOULD BE DONE FOR THIS CITIZENSHIP OF PRINCETON, TEXAS.
LORD, DO WE THANK YOU FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, FOR OUR EMTS AND FIREFIGHTERS AND OUR POLICE, AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT WILL BE HONORED TONIGHT WHO HAVE HELPED SAVE LIVES. WE THANK YOU FOR THEIR ACTIVITY.
AND WE THANK YOU THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CARE.
AND IT'S IN JESUS NAME, I PRAY.
THAT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO OUR PUBLIC APPEARANCE.
[PUBLIC APPEARANCE]
SPEAKERS ARE ALLOWED 3 MINUTES TO SPEAK.THE COUNCIL IS UNABLE TO RESPOND TO OR DISCUSS ANY ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT UP DURING THE SESSION THAT ARE NOT ON THE AGENDA OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A SPEAKER'S INQUIRY OR TO RECITE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY.
TONIGHT I HAVE MR. CLINTON LARANCE, IF YOU'LL PLEASE COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.
I COME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL TO ASK THIS GOVERNING BODY TO START HOLDING THESE DEVELOPERS ACCOUNTABLE.
LGI BUILT A RETAINING WALL ABOUT A FOOT ONTO MY PROPERTY.
MR. FORT MADE THEM MOVE THE WALL.
BUT PARTS OF THE FOOTING THAT SUPPORTS THE WALL IS STILL ON MY PROPERTY.
LGI INSTALLED A HYDRANT FLUSH ON MY PROPERTY AND DIRECTED THE DISCHARGE ONTO MY PROPERTY.
LGI ALSO INSTALLED AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM ON MY PROPERTY.
LGI ASSOCIATES DEFECATED ON MY PROPERTY.
IT FAILED IN THE FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION.
THIS CAUSED THE DISCHARGE ONTO MY PROPERTY OF RAW SEWERAGE.
THE SYSTEM WAS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED SO IF THE LIFT STATION FAILED, THE DISCHARGE WOULD HAVE LESS IMPACT ON CITY'S PROPERTY AND HAVE MORE OF A BURDEN ON MY PROPERTY AND MY FAMILY'S PROPERTY IN THE AREA.
I'M MEETING WITH LGI REPRESENTATIVES THIS THURSDAY AT 9 A.M.
AT THE DEAD END OF [INAUDIBLE] STREET.
IF MR. FORT AND MR. BORG CARE TO ATTEND.
COUNCIL, PLEASE START HOLDING THESE DEVELOPERS ACCOUNTABLE.
BE MORE PROACTIVE AND LESS REACTIVE.
PLEASE GET CONTROL OF THESE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR COMMUNITY RESIDENTS.

[00:30:02]
WE WILL MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 2022-288 RECREATION CENTER MASTERPLAN UPDATE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE PARKS AND TRAILS MASTERPLAN UPDATE FOR A RECREATION CENTER PRESENTED BY KIMLEY-HORN.GOOD EVENING, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL BRITTANY ROUSE WITH KIMLEY-HORN.
JUST A SECOND TO GET PLUGGED IN HERE.
I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION FOR YOU.
THIS IS AN UPDATE TO YOUR EXISTING PARKS AND TRAILS MASTERPLAN.
AND WE DID THIS UPDATE STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO FOR A STUDY ON A PROPOSED RECREATION CENTER.
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE THIS PROPOSED PROJECT SITE IS, IT'S AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH BEAUCHAMP AND MONTE CARLO. AND THIS PORTION WAS THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.
IT'S ABOUT SIX ACRES AND IT WAS COORDINATED WITH WHITEWING TRAILS DEVELOPMENT TO BE A CITY PROPERTY.
THE PIECE OF PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS NORTH BEAUCHAMP IS RESERVED FOR THE FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO.
AND THAT PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN AS WE SPEAK.
SO THE VERY FIRST MEETING THAT WE HAD WAS DURING COVID.
SO WE DID A VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING TO TRY AND GATHER SOME INPUT.
SO WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO IS HAVE AN IN-PERSON MEETING A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT.
AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO CONDUCTED AN ONLINE SURVEY.
SO THAT IN-PERSON MEETING, THERE WAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF ATTENDEES, THERE WAS PROBABLY 10 TO 15.
SO WHAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE IS ONE OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS THAT WE ASKED IS WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN THE PROPOSED RECREATION CENTER? WHAT PROPOSED AMENITIES? SO YOU'LL SEE THINGS LIKE FITNESS ROOM, INDOOR SPORTS FIELDS, RESERVATION SPACE, CHILD CARE, WALKING TRAILS, A GYMNASIUM.
SO THEN THE SECOND THE RESULTS OF THE ONLINE SURVEY, WE HAD 838 RESPONSES TO THAT SURVEY.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ON THE SCREEN, QUESTION 5 ASKS WOULD YOUR HOUSEHOLD UTILIZE A RECREATION CENTER? AND OVER 94% DID RESPOND YES.
ON THE LEFT SIDE, SAME QUESTION WHAT AMENITIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN THAT PROPOSED RECREATION CENTER? AND YOU'LL SEE THAT A LOT OF THEM ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE RESPONSES THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE IN-PERSON MEETING.
THE ONE DIFFERENCE IS RACQUETBALL CAME UP ON THE ONLINE SURVEY.
REAL QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU. SURE.
ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE IS THIS AN ORDER OF RESPONSES? IT IS. THANK YOU. IT IS.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE REPORT IN YOUR PACKET, BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND IT ACTUALLY INCLUDES ALL THE RAW DATA FROM BOTH OF THOSE MEETINGS IN THE BACK, IN THE APPENDICES.
SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND I'M HAPPY TO FLIP TO THOSE AS WELL.
SO AFTER WE GATHERED THAT PUBLIC INPUT, WHAT WE DID WAS DEVELOP TWO CONCEPTUAL BUILDING FLOOR PLANS AND SOME ASSOCIATED VERY HIGH LEVEL COST ESTIMATES.
SO I'M GOING TO FLIP TO OPTION B IN A SECOND.
BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE HERE IS SIZE AND COST.
SO THE FIRST ONE WE LOOKED AT WAS A 25,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
THE REASON WE PICKED 25,000 SQUARE FOOT WAS BECAUSE IT'S A SIMILAR SIZE TO THE SACHSE COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH WE USED AS A BENCHMARK PROJECT. THAT ONE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WAS ABOUT $7 MILLION DOLLARS IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
SO IT WAS A STARTING POINT FOR US.
THERE'S A GYMNASIUM, THERE'S RACQUETBALL INCLUDED, CHILD CARE, GROUP EXERCISE, DESK LOBBY, AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF MEETING ROOM SPACE IN THIS OPTION . OPTION B, 5000 SQUARE FOOT LESS.
SO IT'S 20,000 SQUARE FOOT TOTAL.
AND THAT COST ESTIMATE COMES IN AT ABOUT 13 AND A HALF MILLION.
[00:35:07]
RECTANGLE. EVENTUALLY YOU WOULD HAVE A MORE DETAILED FLOOR PLAN AND WE TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT PARKING WOULD BE REQUIRED.YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM ON THAT SITE FOR ADDITIONAL AMENITIES IN THE FUTURE.
AND THAT IS REALLY ALL I HAVE.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE.
NEXT STEPS WOULD BE TO HIRE AN ARCHITECT.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. I DO THINK WE WOULD BE DOING OUR CITY A DISSERVICE BY GOING SMALLER VERSUS BIGGER.
OUR COMMUNITY IS ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW.
AND IF WE'VE GOT THE LAND AVAILABLE, I THINK WE DO NEED TO MAX OUT THE SPACE AVAILABLE.
GENTLEMEN, ANY THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS THIS EVENING? YOUR HONOR, I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO START CONSIDERING AS A CITY TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT.
I KNOW IT'S ON THE CDC PROJECT LIST TO HELP WITH HOWEVER MUCH THEY CAN.
BUT THIS PROGRAM HAS TO BE ONE OF THESE PROJECTS THAT PROBABLY WILL REQUIRE A BOND.
AND I THINK IT'D BE A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR COMMUNITY.
AND GENTLEMEN, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON UTILIZING THE FULL 25,000 SQUARE FEET AND MAKING THAT LARGER VERSUS SCALING IT DOWN? I THINK THE 25,000 FEET MAY BE A LITTLE BIT TOO SMALL.
YEAH, HONESTLY, I THOUGHT THAT AS WELL WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT ANOTHER 5 OR 10,000 FEET.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD DO INCLUDE AS PART OF THEIR SCOPE AS A FINAL SITE PLAN.
SO WE DID THE PUBLIC INPUT PIECE OF THAT AND THEY COULD TAKE THAT FINE TUNE IT.
TAKE YOUR INPUT AS COUNCIL AND PROCEED WITH THE DESIGN.
PERFECT. YEAH, I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT LARGER.
IF WE ARE GOING OUT FOR A BOND.
WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NO. NO.
WELL, I MEAN, IS THIS WHAT WE'RE GOING AFTER THE DESIGNS THAT YOU GAVE US OR DO WE HAVE MORE OPTIONS TO ADD MORE AMENITIES? BECAUSE I LOVE IT.
I LOVE THE IDEA. I DO FEEL THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, USE MORE SPACE.
I THINK WE OUTGROW THE 25,000 SQUARE FEET VERY QUICKLY ON HOW QUICKLY WE'RE GROWING.
BUT IS THERE A LACK OF CONCEPT THAT WE MAY CAN ADD, LIKE A POOL OR SOMETHING FOR WATER AEROBICS OR SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT'S I DON'T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE HERE IN PRINCETON, WHERE OUR SENIOR CITIZENS WHO HAVE KNEE REPLACEMENTS OR EVEN ARE, YOU KNOW, MIDDLE AGE, WHO HAVE A HIP REPLACEMENT OR SOMETHING MAY NEED WATER AEROBICS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN ADVANTAGEOUS PLACE TO ADD LIKE A POOL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR US FOR AN ACTIVITY LIKE THAT IN THE CITY.
YEAH, FOR SURE. IF YOU COULD CONVEY THAT OVER TO THE ARCHITECT, BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD THAT COUNTLESS TIMES OVER AND OVER FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND ESPECIALLY FROM OUR SENIORS, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE WATER AEROBICS.
SURE. IF WE COULD GO VERTICAL.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE ALSO THIS IS AN ACTUAL UPDATE TO THE PARKS AND TRAILS MASTERPLAN.
SO WE DO NEED A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS REGARDLESS OF THE SQUARE FOOT.
IT'S A PLACEHOLDER TO GO IN THE MASTERPLAN.
SO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE MOTION TO BE TO UPDATE THE MASTERPLAN? [INAUDIBLE] MAKING A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MASTERPLAN AS GIVEN AND TO APPROVE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OR THE PLAN.
WELL WE'RE NOT APPROVING YEAH.
FOR A REC CENTER, JUST KIND OF VISIT AS IT STATES RIGHT THERE.
A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRINCETON PARKS TRAILS MASTERPLAN, ADDING THE RECREATION CENTER.
OKAY, SO I MAKE THAT MOTION FOR ITEM 2022-288 TO APPROVE THE PRINCETON TRAILS MASTERPLAN.
[00:40:04]
OKAY DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.
MR. OBERA? YES, MR. WASHINGTON? YES. MR. UNDERWOOD? YES. OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MS. SHAKE. NO NOT MS. SHAKE. EITHER OR.
IT'S MY MIDDLE NAME STILL THERE WE GO. THERE WE GO.
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 2022-289 FOR IPO NUMBER 156 GEORGIA, TEXAS LAND AND CATTLE MASTERPLAN DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PARKS AND FIELD UPDATE, INCLUDING IPO NUMBER 156 GEORGIA, TEXAS LAND AND CATTLE MASTERPLAN AS REQUESTED BY MAYOR CHACON AND COUNCIL MEMBER WASHINGTON.
MAYOR, IF WE COULD OPEN THE ITEM THAT WE JUST VOTED ON, THERE IS ACTUALLY MORE PRESENTATION TO THAT.
THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP 2022-288 FOR REC CENTER MASTERPLAN UPDATE AND WE WILL KEEP THAT OPEN WHILE YOU DISCUSS 2022-289 FOR IPO NUMBER 156. IS THAT GOOD? IS THAT WHAT YOU NEEDED? SO THE RECREATION CENTER WAS THE FIRST PORTION I KNOW FIELD SPACE AND AVAILABILITY WAS MENTIONED.
SO THAT WOULD KIND OF FALL INTO THE SECOND PORTION OF THIS.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THIS FIRST PAGE IS JUST KIND OF THE STEADY GROWTH THAT WE'RE SEEING.
WE'RE STARTING TO SEE A PLATEAU.
SO THAT IS NICE TO SEE FROM OUR SIDE.
BUT HOWEVER, WE STILL ARE RISING.
BUT LAST YEAR WE GREW AT OVER A RATE OF 33%, SO THAT'S FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
SO THAT'S A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF PARTICIPATION FROM 2021.
WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN, SOME OF THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING.
WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN IS WHERE WE SHOULD BE BY NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR RECREATION AMENITIES.
WHAT WE HAVE IN GRAY IS OUR CURRENT SITUATION.
SO AS WE'RE CONTINUING TO GROW, THAT DEFICIT WILL CONTINUE TO RISE FOR THE INDIFFERENCE.
BASED ON OUR CURRENT POPULATION OUR MOST IMMINENT NEEDS ARE ACTUALLY MULTI-USE SOCCER FIELDS AND MORE BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELDS AND BASKETBALL COURTS. BASKETBALL COURTS ARE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT FALL INTO THE REC CENTER, ALONG WITH JUST OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
BUT THOSE ARE AS FAR AS THE NEED GOES.
THAT'S WIDELY USED UP AT THE PARK THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
SO HOW DO WE DO IT? THAT'S THE QUESTION, RIGHT? ULTIMATELY, I'VE SAT DOWN WITH OUR ENGINEERING TEAM AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO ITEMIZE THESE LISTS AND IDENTIFY THE MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS.
AND WE HAVE TWO MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS, AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY FILLED SPACE.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS FINISH OUT CALDWELL PARK NUMBER ONE.
THAT'S A HIGH PRIORITY WE HAVE IF YOU LOOK AT HERE AND YOU SEE THIS IS THE COMPLETE BUILDOUT FOR THAT PARK THAT ALLOWS US TO GET SIX MULTI USE TOTAL SOCCER BASEBALL OR MULTI USE SOCCER FOOTBALL FIELDS ON THE FACILITY WITH PARKING AND ADDITIONAL AMENITIES, BASKETBALL COURTS AND SO FORTH.
SO THAT KIND OF FALLS HAND IN HAND WITH THE NEXT SLIDE, WHICH WOULD BE A BASEBALL SOFTBALL COMPLEX DIRECTLY. THESE TWO ARE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR ME.
LIKE I SAID, THEY DO GO HAND IN HAND.
BUT CALDWELL PARK DOESN'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR A SPORTS COMPLEX.
IN OUR MASTERPLAN, WE HAVE AN OFF SITE.
I KNOW 90 ACRES WAS JUST PURCHASED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT ON THE NEXT ONE.
BUT AN OFF SITE SPECIFIC SPORTS LOCATION WAS WHAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT FOR THIS.
[00:45:06]
THIS IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THE CITY DOES CURRENTLY OWN.I KNOW IN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING THERE WAS DIRECTION GIVEN TO MR. BORG IN A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM CALDWELL PARK.
HOWEVER, THAT IS LOCATED IN THE FLOODPLAIN, WHICH IS GREAT FOR ADDITIONAL MULTIUSE FIELDS.
SO THAT IS AN AREA THAT WOULD PICK UP SOME OF OUR NEEDS FOR RIGHT OF WAY EASEMENTS AND ADDITIONAL FIELD SPACES OF AVAILABLE JUST ON THAT SITE.
BUT THIS IS A SITE THAT WE WOULD HAVE THIS IS JUST, LIKE I SAID, JUST A FOOTPRINT SHOWING THAT ROUGHLY HOW MANY FIELDS WE COULD FIT ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY ALONG WITH ADEQUATE PARKING, SUFFICIENT FOR THOSE FIELDS AND THOSE NEEDS.
THE NEXT ONE IS JJ BOOK WILSON PARK.
SO THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR PHASE ONE.
MY THOUGHTS ARE FINISH THESE PARKS, PICK ALL THESE LOW HANGING FRUITS, AND THEN WE FOCUS ALL ON THE NEXT PARKS TO COME, WHICH WOULD BE THAT 90 ACRES.
FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO WITH THAT PROPERTY IS MASTERPLAN IT.
GIVE US WELL, FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO WITH THAT WOULD BE MASTERPLAN IT.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN SLOW TO START AND FINISH.
SO ULTIMATELY, IF WE WERE GOING TO, AS YOU SAID, MADAME MAYOR, IF WE WERE GOING TO DO IT, LET'S GET THESE THINGS DONE NOW, BECAUSE THESE ARE THE AMENITIES THAT THE CITY DOES NEED FOR RECREATION.
AND THEN WHAT YOU SEE ON THIS NEXT PIECE IS THIS IS THE GEORGIA, TEXAS LAND AND CATTLE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT WAS CLOSED ON, I GUESS, JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
SO IT IS NEWLY OWNED BY THE CITY.
THIS IS A GREAT PARK FOR TRAIL CONNECTIVITY.
IT'S LOCATED OFF 982 AND MYRICK OR 400.
SO TRAIL CONNECTIVITY FROM PARK TO PARK.
THERE'S AREAS UP ON THE HIGH SIDE FOR SPORTS AND RECREATION FIELDS.
NOW, WE DIDN'T PUT ANY LAYOUT ON IT BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WE NEED TO MASTERPLAN THIS PARK.
WE DON'T WANT TO JUST RUSH INTO ANYTHING AND JUST START THROWING SOMETHING TOGETHER.
THIS IS THE PRIORITY LIST THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
THIS DOES INCLUDE THE REC CENTER WITHIN THIS PRIORITY LIST.
THERE IS ONE A COUPLE PROJECTS ON HERE, TRAILS WITH PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES.
SO WE'VE DONE A GAP ANALYSIS PLAN THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WHICH TRAIL CONNECTIVITY TO GO FROM SUBDIVISION TO PARK TO SCHOOL AND SO FORTH. AND THIS KIND OF FILLS IN SOME OF THOSE VOIDS, SMALL PIECES OF SIDEWALK.
SO THAT WAY YOU CAN CONNECT FROM WHETHER IT'S BROOKSIDE TO 380 OR THE PARK DOWN TO 380 AND SO FORTH.
SO WE PUT IN A COUPLE OF MILLION DOLLARS IN THERE FOR TRAIL CONNECTIVITY.
SOME OF THOSE HAVE TO GO ACROSS THE CREEKS, SO BRIDGES WOULD BE A PART OF THAT.
AND THEN WHAT YOU ALSO SEE IS THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK AND WOODY DRIVE.
SO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECOND STREET AND YORKSHIRE, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET IS DOWNTOWN VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK IS THAT WHOLE AREA IS GOING TO BE RECONSTRUCTED FOR PARKING DOWNTOWN.
AND THE PLANS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST.
SO WE KIND OF PUT THIS ON THERE, TOO.
[00:50:03]
AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.THANK YOU. CAN WE BACK UP TO SLIDE EIGHT, YOUR PREVIOUS SLIDE.
FOR THE DALE HEARD LAMBERT PARK.
THAT'S THE PARK THAT WE ANTICIPATE PUTTING OUR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL COMPLEX ON, CORRECT? CORRECT. AND FOR THAT ONE, I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT NOT JUST LEAVING IT LIKE OUR EXISTING FIELDS, BUT ACTUALLY GOING ALL OUT AND DOING THE TURF AND MAKING THAT MORE OF A COMPLEX SUCH AS MELISSA.
AND ONE OF THE REASONS IS, IS THAT ALLEVIATES A LOT OF THE STAFF MAINTENANCE STRESS AS WELL, SOMETHING THAT IS 100% ASTROTURF IS MAINTENANCE FREE AND REALISTICALLY.
SO, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF MOWING AND MAINTENANCE COST ANNUAL FEES THAT WE HAVE FOR OPERATIONAL EXPENSES LIKE WE DO AT CALDWELL PARK, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS THERE.
AND ACTUALLY SO STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT YOU ACTUALLY AFTER ROUGHLY SEVEN YEARS, THE TURF HAS ACTUALLY IS NOW PROFITING FOR YOUR OPERATIONAL EXPENSES.
SO AFTER SEVEN YEARS, YOU START YOU START PROFITING FROM THE INITIAL UPFRONT EXPENSE JUST FROM OPERATIONS, NOT INCLUDING THE TOURNAMENTS AND SO FORTH THAT CAN BE HELD.
THEY ALWAYS FILL UP 100% OF THE TIME.
AND THE REASON IS, IS BECAUSE ALMOST GUARANTEED TO PLAY.
I'LL USE THIS WEEKEND AS AN EXAMPLE.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME RAIN ON FRIDAY, POSSIBLY EVEN INTO SATURDAY.
WELL WE DO HAVE A LARGE TOURNAMENT UP IN PRINCETON UP AT CALDWELL PARK.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE IF IT'S GOING TO PLAY OR NOT.
I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE WEATHER IS, WHERE IT'S RAINING TODAY.
SO WE'RE CANCELED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
WITH TURF SOON AS IT STOPS, YOU GO RIGHT TO PLAYING.
SO TEAMS THAT PAY AND TRAVEL, THEY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS, WHICH ALSO HELPS IN BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY, AS WELL AS HOTELS AND OTHER EXPENSES YOU KNOW EXPENDITURES THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING IN, SPENDING THEIR MONEY HERE WITHIN THE CITY, STAYING AT THE RESTAURANTS, SHOPPING AT WALMART AND GOODS BECAUSE THEY'RE HERE ALL DAY, SO THAT SALES TAX AND THAT REVENUE STAYS WITHIN THE CITY ITSELF.
SO WHERE IS THIS? I'M PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH EVERYTHING ON HERE EXCEPT DALE HEARD.
WHERE IS THAT GOING TO BE LOCATED AT? THAT IS ACTUALLY A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM PRINCETON LAKES.
THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THIS TO US.
AND AS I SAID ON THE PREVIOUS ITEM, TO ME, WE NEED TO MAKE THIS BIG.
THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO FULFILL A LOT OF NEEDS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR YOUTH, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THESE PARKS AND OFFER ALL OF THESE AMENITIES TO OUR RESIDENTS.
I'M GOING TO ECHO WHAT YOU SAID. I THINK OUR RESIDENTS WOULD DEFINITELY APPROVE OF THIS BOND.
LET'S MAKE IT NICE. THANK YOU.
YES, SIR. BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY DISCUSSED THAT DALE HEARD LAMBERT MASTERPLAN.
ARE WE STILL GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT OR WAS THAT IT? BECAUSE THIS IS THE NEXT ITEM DOWN.
IT IS COMING UP ON THE WE CAN GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT SO.
WELL, IT'S THE IPO, SO YES, SIR.

Y'ALL THROW ME OFF TALKING ABOUT IT.
[00:55:01]
WE'RE NOT EVEN ON IT. OKAY.NOW FOR THE MASTERPLAN FOR DALE HEARD LAMBERT.
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT, OR WE'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE A MOTION ON IT? NO. SO THIS IS THE.
THIS WOULD GIVE US MORE OF A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN, MORE IN DEPTH THROUGH CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE THROUGH THIS IPO IS UTILIZING THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WE CURRENTLY DO HAVE.
AND LIKE I SAID, THESE PIECES OF PROPERTY ARE FOR THE MASTERPLAN TO IDENTIFY CERTAIN LAYOUTS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, IT IS JUST FIELDS ON A MAP.
WITH THAT YOUR HONOR, I MAKE MOTION ON 2022-290 IPO 157 DALE HEARD LAMBERT MASTERPLAN TO APPROVE.
OKAY AND DO I HAVE A SECOND?. I'LL SECOND.
OKAY WITH THAT WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, MR. KLEIBER DID VOTE YES ON THAT.
HIS MICROPHONE WAS OFF. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT IN THERE.
YOU NEED TO DO ANYTHING WITH 289.
WE VOTED ON SO YOU MADE A MOTION ON IT, BUT GO AHEAD.
WE MADE A MOTION BUT CAN WE DO WE NEED TO REOPEN THAT? WE NEED TO TIE UP 289 I BELIEVE.
I BELIEVE THEY MADE THE MOTION AND APPROVED THAT.
YEAH I DID. YOU DID. WE MADE A MOTION ALL OKAY. MY APOLOGIES.
OKAY, WELL, THEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO 2022-291 FOR TEXAS ARBOR DAY, TICKEY CREEK, TREE PLANTING, PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING TEXAS ARBOR DAY, TICKEY CREEK TREE PLANTING EVENT PRESENTED BY PARKS DIRECTOR CHASE BRYANT.
[LAUGHTER] DO YOU NEED ANOTHER MOTION? SO WE DON'T NEED ANY MOTIONS OR THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION.
SO CITY OF PRINCETON, MYSELF WITHIN OUR TEAM, I'VE BEEN CONTACTED AND WAS APPROVED FOR A GRANT THROUGH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SPONSORS.
SO WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS IDENTIFIED LOCATIONS AND PARKS THROUGH OUR CREEKS AND TRIBUTARIES THAT WOULD BE GOOD, GREAT SITES TO HOST THE TEXAS ARBOR DAY TREE PLANTING EVENT.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT ON, IT'S POSTED ALL OVER OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
AND I CAN SAY THIS, THAT OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB AND A BIG ROLE IN HELPING WITH THE DESIGN AND REALLY PUSHING THIS OUT THERE. AND THESE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THIS WOULD BE NEXT FRIDAY LOCATED AT CALDWELL PARK FROM 9 TO NOON.
SO THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB BY PUSHING THIS OUT AND A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON IT.
SO WHAT IS TEXAS ARBOR DAY AND HOW DOES THIS PROJECT REALLY BENEFIT US? SO THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PROVIDES HIGH QUALITY DRINKING TO OVER 2 MILLION NORTH TEXAS INDIVIDUALS.
WELL, THEY'RE ALL COMING OUT OF MAINLY LAKE LAVON FOR THE MOST PART.
TICKEY CREEK IS ONE OF THE MAIN TRIBUTARIES THAT FEEDS THE LAKE.
CALDWELL PARK ACTUALLY HAS A PORTION OF TICKEY CREEK RUNNING DIRECTLY THROUGH IT.
SO WHAT THIS DOES IS WE PLAN TO PLANT 1200 TREES ON THAT DAY.
WHAT THIS HELPS IS SLOWS THE WATER AND SLOWS THE WATER INTO THE TRIBUTARY ALSO, EROSION. IT WILL HELP WITH THE EROSION OF TICKEY CREEK ITSELF.
[01:00:03]
SO OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S MORE IMPERVIOUS SERVICES.AND THIS ACTUALLY HELPS ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT.
WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE IS SOME MORE BENEFITS TO THE PROJECT.
IT IMPROVES THE WATER QUALITY.
AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE AIR QUALITY.
THE REMOVAL OF CARBON DIOXIDE THROUGH YOU KNOW IN THE AIR SHADE COOLS THE ENVIRONMENT.
YOU KNOW, TREES ARE BEAUTIFUL IN PARKS.
AND THIS IS WHAT THIS WILL EVENTUALLY GET TO.
THE TREES THAT WE ARE PLANNING ARE 3 TO 5 GALLONS.
SO THEY ARE SAPLINGS AND THEY ARE SMALL.
BUT IN 20 YEARS, YOU KNOW, YOU TAKE 1200 TREES.
YOU HOPE THAT EVEN AT 50% SURVIVAL RATE, STILL 600 TREES THAT, YOU KNOW, EVEN AT A 50% SURVIVAL.
SO THIS KIND OF A LITTLE PICTURE JUST SHOWING, YOU KNOW, PERVIOUS SURFACE VERSUS IMPERVIOUS SURFACE, IT KEEPS SOME OF THE RUNOFF CHEMICALS IN THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACES OUT OF THE CREEKS, OILS, CHEMICALS ON THE SURFACE, ANYTHING FROM YOUR CAR, YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
SO LAST YEAR, WILSON CREEK AND MCKINNEY WAS ACTUALLY THE HOSTED SITE.
THEY WERE APPROVED FOR THE GRANT LAST YEAR.
AND THIS IS JUST A PICTURE FROM LAST YEAR OF WHAT TO EXPECT.
SO WHAT WE'LL DO ALSO IS THE RIGHT TREE FOR THE RIGHT LOCATION.
WELL, WE HAVE NATIVE TREES BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO IMPROVE THE SURVIVAL RATE.
RIGHT. WE DON'T WANT ANY TREES THAT ARE GOING TO BE MORE OR LESS DROUGHT RESISTANT AND SO FORTH.
WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE OUR TEXAS HEAT.
BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THROUGH THE PICTURES WHAT TO EXPECT.
NOW, SOME OF THOSE TREES ARE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN WHAT WE WILL HAVE.
BUT THIS IS THEY'LL BE OFFLOADING AND WE'LL BE UNLOADING THEM NEXT WEEK.
SO WE ALSO OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS DEPARTMENT.
WE GOT I WANTED THIS TO BE A CITYWIDE EVENT, SO I WANTED OUR SCHOOL TO BE PARTICIPATING.
SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE ASKED OUR SCHOOL ART DEPARTMENT TO PUT OUT THERE AND HAVE WHAT DOES TEXAS ARBOR DAY MEAN TO YOU? AND WE DIDN'T GIVE THEM TOO MUCH.
LET THEM OPEN UP AND DRAW WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM.
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY'VE TURNED IN TO US.
WE HAD 30 OR SO PIECES THAT WERE TURNED IN THAT WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
BUT WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE TOOK OUT THE TOP FIVE AND PUT THEM ONLINE FOR A SURVEY.
AND AT THE EVENT WE ARE TAKING THE WINNING PHOTO AND HAVING IT PLACED ON THE VOLUNTEER SHIRTS.
SO THAT WAY IT KIND OF OPENS IT UP.
IT'S EXCITING FOR THE KIDS AND KIND OF BRINGING EVERYBODY TOGETHER.
BUT RIGHT NOW WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT WAS ON THE SURVEY.
I WON'T ANNOUNCE IT, BUT A WINNER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.
AND THEN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER.
THIS IS FOR ANYBODY, ANY CITIZENS OUT THERE.
IF YOU CLICK ON THE QR CODE, THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE WAIVER AND ALL THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.
[01:05:05]
DAVID COWAN WITH NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.MAC MARTIN WITH TEXAS A&M FOREST SERVICE.
SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS.
WELL, THANK YOU. I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
I LOVE THAT WE'VE INCORPORATED SO MANY ELEMENTS INTO THIS.
AND IN THE END, I MEAN, IT HELPS OUR EARTH.
BUT I LOVE THAT WE'VE INVOLVED OUR SCHOOLS AND WE HAVE THIS ART PROJECT GOING WITH THEM.
SO, GUYS, JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOU ALL WILL GET A T-SHIRT AS WELL.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, PLEASE VOLUNTEER, BE OUT THERE, GET THIS DONE.
CHASE, I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THIS.
MS. TURNER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUSHING THAT COMMUNICATION OUT THERE.
I'VE SEEN IT AS WELL AND IT'S BEEN GREAT.
I KNOW MS. O'BRIEN'S WORKED REALLY HARD AS WELL ON THIS, AND THEN MALLORY AND MARY, TOO.
WE KNOW THIS IS A JOINT EFFORT AND IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME.
THANK YOU. YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? NO. OKAY.
WELL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM 2022-292 FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE STUDY UPDATE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN UPDATE TO THE WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE STUDY PRESENTED BY KIMLEY-HORN.
THESE AGENDA ITEMS ARE RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN, WHICH IS THE PLAN THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE BY STATE LAW, WHICH GOES INTO WITH OUR IMPACT FEES AND HELPS US SET THOSE IMPACT FEE AMOUNTS AND THINGS FOR ALL OF OUR NEW DEVELOPMENT.
THESE ARE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE TYPICALLY UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS.
BUT WITH OUR AGGRESSIVE GROWTH, I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD TO DO ONE.
SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO STUART WILLIAMS WITH KIMLEY-HORN.
HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS AND WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.
SO TONIGHT, I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A QUICK PRESENTATION ON WHAT WAS DONE.
AS SHAWN MENTIONED, THE 2022 UPDATE WAS INCLUDED TO DO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
THE FIRST ONE WAS TO INCLUDE THE SPECIFICALLY THE WINCHESTER CROSSING AND WINDMORE DEVELOPMENTS AND THE IMPACT FEE CIP PLANS WAS ALSO TO REASSESS THE COST ESTIMATES SINCE, AS YOU KNOW, COSTS HAVE BEEN RISING RAPIDLY IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.
SO THIS UPDATE TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THOSE UPDATES.
WE ALSO UPDATED EACH OF YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.
WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THOSE VARIOUS VARIOUS RATES.
AND THEN ULTIMATELY WHAT KIMLEY-HORN WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR YOU IS WE'VE SET THE THROUGH THIS STUDY, THE PROJECTED MAXIMUM ASSESSABLE RATES FOR BOTH FOR THE WATER, WASTEWATER, AND ROADWAY ASSESSMENTS.
AND ON THE 19TH OF OF LAST MONTH, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
SO BASICALLY YOUR P&Z HAS LISTED THIS SAME PRESENTATION AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO ADOPT THE MAXIMUM RATES FOR ALL THREE ROADWAY WATER AND WASTEWATER.
SO WITH THAT SAID, AGAIN, THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE ROADWAY FIRST.
SO THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS UPDATE THE ACTUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN.
SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS IS JUST A SNIP OF THE UPDATE OF THAT PLAN.
SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS SLIDE IS YOUR CURRENT MAXIMUM ASSESSABLE RATE.
SO THIS GOES BY THE PER VEHICLE MILE.
YOUR CURRENT MAXIMUM RATE IS $794 AND THE LAST COUNCIL VOTED TO COLLECT $595 PER VEHICLE MILE OR 75% OF THOSE MAXIMUM RATES.
[01:10:08]
SO FOR 2022, THAT MAXIMUM AMOUNT PER VEHICLE MILE IS $946 PER VEHICLE MILE.NEXT. SIMILARLY, WE DID THAT WITH THE SAME GENERAL PROCESS WITH THE WATER IMPACT FEES.
SO THIS IS JUST A LOOK AT YOUR YOUR WATER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN THAT WE THAT WE TOOK AN UPDATED FROM THE 2020 VERSION SO WATER IS ASSESSED BY THE METER SIZE SO THE 5/8 BY THREE QUARTERS INCH METER IS YOUR TYPICAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL METER SIZE.
SO IN 2020, THE MAXIMUM COLLECTED RATE WAS $2,886.
AND THEN WITH THIS UPDATE THAT GOES UP TO AROUND $3,000 OR $3,026 PER SERVICE UNIT, MAXIMUM COLLECTED . AND AGAIN, SAME PROCESS WITH THE WASTEWATER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN.
SO WE UPDATED THIS PLAN WITH ALL THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN, UPDATED THE COST ESTIMATES.
SO YOU'RE CURRENTLY ASSESSING $1,725 PER SINGLE FAMILY METER FOR THE WASTEWATER, WHICH AGAIN WAS THE MAXIMUM RATE. AND THEN OUR PROJECTED MAXIMUM RATE WENT UP TO $1,963.
SO THE FINAL SLIDE I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH TONIGHT IS A COMPARISON.
SO AS AGAIN AS WE DID THIS, THEY ALL THREE KIND OF ADD UP AND WE WE PUT THIS TOGETHER TO SHOW YOU KIND OF WHERE THE CITY OF PRINCETON SITS CURRENTLY. SO THAT'S YOUR CURRENT AMOUNT AND THEN WE COMPARED THAT TO VARIOUS CITIES IN THE STUDY AREA.
SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU THE CITY FITS CURRENTLY AND THEN WHERE DEPENDING UPON WHAT YOU ADOPT TONIGHT WOULD STAND IF YOU ADOPTED THE MAXIMUM.
YES SIR. I'M GOING TO ADD ONE THING TO STUART'S PRESENTATION.
WHEN WHEN STUART'S TALKING TELLING YOU ABOUT THE MAXIMUM RATE.
UNDERSTAND THAT THE MAXIMUM RATE IS ALREADY ONLY 50% OF WHAT THE PROJECTS COST.
SO, THERE'S ALREADY A DELTA THERE, THE 50% THAT STILL HAS TO BE FUNDED FOR THESE PROJECTS.
SO THAT'S WHY WE GENERALLY, STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THE MAXIMUM RATE.
I'M SORRY. SO WITH THAT, THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION TONIGHT.
NO. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
I HIGHLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER MOVING AWAY FROM 75% MOVING TO THE FULL 100% THAT WE CAN.
DEVELOPERS ARE GOING TO DEVELOP ANYWAY.
SO WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT? GENTLEMEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NO QUESTIONS, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM 2022-292 FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE.
HOLD ON. COUNCIL MEMBER WE'LL NEED TO GO TO THE OR DO THEY NEED MOTIONS ON THE OKAY, SO NO ACTION TAKEN ON THOSE.
THAT WAS JUST AN UPDATE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE UPDATE.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN AGENDA ITEM 2022-294.
ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10-24 FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS UPDATING AND AMENDING CHAPTER 78 ARTICLE 4 IMPACT FEES AND WE WILL OPEN AGENDA ITEM 2022-295 FOR ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10-24-014 ROADWAY IMPACT FEES, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS.
REPEALING AND REPLACING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2021-03-22-01 FOR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES PER SERVICE UNIT.
ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP BOTH OF THOSE OPEN AND MAKE ONE MOTION ON BOTH OF THOSE? OR DO WE NEED TO MAKE TWO DIFFERENT MOTIONS? MAKE TWO DIFFERENT MOTIONS.
AGAIN, IT'S MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE MOVE TO 100% VERSUS THE 75%.
[01:15:02]
IF NO QUESTIONS. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO FOR AGENDA ITEM 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022 -10-24, WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES TO INCREASE THEM TO 100% MAXIMUM FEE.AND DO I HAVE A SECOND. I'LL SECOND THAT YOUR HONOR.
OKAY WITH THAT WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE, MR. DEFFIBAUGH? YES, MR. KLEIBER? YES.
WE WILL GO TO 2022-295 FOR ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10-24-01 FOR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE GO TO 100%.
I'LL MAKE ANOTHER MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM 2022-295 ORDINANCE NUMBER 2022-10-24-01 FOR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES TO UPDATE THE ORDINANCE FOR 100% OF THE MAXIMUM FEE.
THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT. THANK YOU.
WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. MR. DEFFIBAUGH? YES. MR. KLEIBER? YES.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO 2022-296 FOR HUMAN RESOURCES, RENAMING, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION FOR THE RENAMING OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON TO EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE.
SO, GENTLEMEN, THIS WAS ACTUALLY MY IDEA TO DO THIS.
AND I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT OF MY REASONING BEHIND THIS.
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THAT AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE RETAINING OUR EMPLOYEES HERE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO HAVE A CULTURE HERE THAT'S CONDUCIVE OF THEM WANTING TO STAY AND TO BE HERE.
AND TO ME, THAT STARTS IN THE VERY BEGINNING.
WE WANT TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY COME INTO HUMAN RESOURCES, WHICH WE COULD RENAME TO THIS EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE WITH AN OPINION THAT THIS IS A DEPARTMENT THAT'S THERE TO HELP THEM, THAT'S A DEPARTMENT TO EDUCATE THEM ON THEIR BENEFITS, THAT'S A DEPARTMENT TO EDUCATE THEM ON FUTURE TRAININGS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS A STIGMA BEHIND I'M SORRY, WITH THE WORD HUMAN RESOURCES.
YOU GET A MEMO AND IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, PLEASE SEE HUMAN RESOURCES.
INSTANTLY YOU THINK YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
MANY, MANY TOP CORPORATIONS HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS AND THEY'VE SWITCHED OVER.
THEY'VE BEEN CHANGED TO THEIR NAMES.
THEY'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM HUMAN RESOURCES.
I KNOW SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS ONE OF THE FIRST MAJOR COMPANIES TO DO THAT.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HERE.
I DID SPEAK ABOUT THIS WITH OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.
YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST WE'VE ONLY HAD MS. GRONEMEIER. WE DID GROW THAT DEPARTMENT AND WE NOW HAVE FALLON, WHO'S HELPING, AND SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB.
AND THEN WE APPROVED IN THIS LAST BUDGET TO ACTUALLY ADD SOMEONE ELSE.
SO THAT DEPARTMENT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE CHANGING AND GROWING IN OUR FUTURE.
AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GROW IT IN A POSITIVE WAY.
SO WE SENT A POLL OUT TO ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.
AND OUT OF THAT, THE NUMBER ONE NAME THAT THEY CHOSE WAS EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE.
SO WE WANTED TO KIND OF LET THEM GUIDE THAT AND LET THEM NAME THEIR OWN DEPARTMENT, WHICH AGAIN, JUST KIND OF HELPS HARNESS THAT CULTURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE, THAT WE DO WANT THEIR INVOLVEMENT, WE DO WANT THEIR INPUT.
SO THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD CHOSE WAS EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE.
SO IF WE COULD HAVE YOUR BLESSING TONIGHT TO RENAME HUMAN RESOURCES TO EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR, I SECOND THAT MOTION.
YES, SIR. SO I DO APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION.
I THINK THE IDEA IS GREAT, BUT I GUESS I WOULD NEED TO ASK YOU WITH A CHANGE OF NAME LIKE THIS, WOULD IT INVOLVE ANY EXPENSE TO CHANGE OVER ANYTHING WITH THE CITY? PROBABLY. YEAH. THERE PROBABLY IS GOING TO BE A MINIMAL MONETARY EXPENSE TO THAT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE JUMPING INTO.
SO INITIALLY WE WILL SEE THOSE CHANGES ONLINE.
WE'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING JUST THE VERBIAGE ONLINE FROM HUMAN RESOURCES TO NAMING THAT DEPARTMENT.
OTHER THINGS SUCH AS SIGNAGE, THAT'S A MINIMAL COST TO HAVE SIGNAGE DOWNSTAIRS.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'LL HAVE TO ORDER NEW CARDS FOR THEM.
WE'RE NOT ORDERING CARDS IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN YOUR CARDS ARE OUT, WE'RE GOING TO ORDER NEW CARDS TO HAVE THE CORRECT NAMING ON THEM.
WE HAVE OUR EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS.
[01:20:01]
AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEXT YEAR WE CAN REPRINT AND HAVE THE CORRECT NAME AND THAT.SO WE'LL KEEP THIS AS MINIMAL COST AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I'M GOOD. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE WILL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL.
MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO FOR THE APPROVAL OF AGENDA ITEM 2022-296 FOR HUMAN RESOURCES RENAMING.
THIS WILL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 2022-297 FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE REQUEST FOR ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA AND NOT FOR DISCUSSION OF THESE REQUESTS.
GENTLEMEN, ANYTHING TONIGHT THAT YOU NEED TO ADD TO A FUTURE AGENDA? I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING, MR. BORG, IF POSSIBLE COULD I GET SOME CRIME STATISTICS FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE? POSSIBLY DETAILED CRIME SPECIFICS, BREAKING THEM DOWN FROM VIOLENT CRIMES AND VIOLENT CRIMES MENTAL HEALTH CALLS.
AND IF SO, CAN WE GET NEIGHBORHOOD OR AREA SPECIFIC ON THOSE? YES, I'LL HAVE INTERIM CHIEF WATERS PREPARE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU, AND WE'LL HAVE IT AT THE NEXT MEETING.
GENTLEMEN ANYTHING ELSE? I DO HAVE ONE? EARLIER WE HAD A CITIZEN SPEAK OF SOME OF THE WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW.
TURN YOUR MICROPHONE ON. THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN REGULATE THESE DEVELOPERS OR? YES. SOMETHING IT IS.
MR. OVERCASH YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST TOUCH ON THAT FOR A SECOND, BUT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS YES.
WE CAN HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT.
I KNOW MR. OVERCASH HAS A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION THAT HE CAN LEND TO THAT.
WHAT'S THE QUESTION? TO ME, THE QUESTION IS ABOUT OUR IN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
MR. LARRANCE MENTIONED THAT HE WAS HAVING SOME TROUBLES WITH ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS, AND I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THE SITUATION.
AND MR. KLEIBER IS ASKING AT WHAT POINT CAN WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT? DO YOU WANT TO JUST TOUCH ON THAT FOR A MINUTE? SURE. I CAN'T COMMENT ON THOSE SPECIFIC SITUATIONS, IN PART BECAUSE THERE IS A PENDING LAWSUIT THAT HAS NOW NAMED THE CITY OF PRINCETON IS A PARTY THAT INVOLVES THAT DEVELOPER AND THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION WITH THE PROPERTY HE WAS COMMENTING ON.
AS A GENERAL RULE OF THE CITY'S BEST MECHANISMS FOR CONTROLLING THE ACTIVITIES OF DEVELOPERS ARE THROUGH ITS ORDINANCES AND THEN THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE AS PROJECTS COME UP.
WHEN A PROJECT HAS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT COMPONENTS TO IT WHERE THERE ARE SERVICES THAT THEY HAVE TO PERFORM IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, WE CAN USE THE LEVERAGE AND THE POWER PROVIDED TO US BY THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ENFORCE THOSE OBLIGATIONS THAT THEY ASSUME UNDER THEM.
THE SITUATION THAT WAS BEING COMMENTED ON EARLIER WAS ONE WHERE IT DOESN'T INVOLVE CITY PARTICIPATION IN ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES THAT HE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT. SO THE CITY'S ABILITY TO INTERVENE IN THOSE SITUATIONS IS MUCH, MUCH MORE LIMITED.
IF THERE'S NOT A VIOLATION OF ONE OF OUR ORDINANCES INVOLVED, THERE MAY NOT BE ANY ACTION FOR THE CITY TO TAKE TO INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF A PRIVATE LANDOWNER.
BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY COME BACK AND TRY TO PUT TOGETHER AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY TO TRY TO EXERT LEVERAGE ON SOME OF THESE PROBLEMATIC DEVELOPERS AT A FUTURE MEETING.
YES, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT REALLY THE ONE I'M SPECIFICALLY.
I DIDN'T BRING IT UP BECAUSE HE SPOKE TONIGHT.
BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE THAT HAPPENED OVER LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE IT WAS, AND THE DEVELOPER WAS IN MY OPINION, THEY WASN'T DOING WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE FOR THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS, I GUESS SO TO SPEAK.
THEY WOULDN'T GIVE THEM. THE ROAD WAS NOT COMPLETED LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
WE DID HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WAY THAT THE CONTRACTOR, BUT THAT WAS A DIFFERENT SITUATION.
AND WE HAD PLENTY OF LEVERAGE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.
IN THAT CASE. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SITUATION.
YES, SIR. BUT HOW WE GO ABOUT MAYBE BEING MORE PROACTIVE ABOUT THAT?
[01:25:01]
I MEAN, WE CAN IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.I THINK THAT'S WHAT MR. OVERCASH IS ALLUDING TO, THAT THERE'S CERTAIN TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN TOOLS THAT ARE NOT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY BRIEF YOU ON THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING.
ANYTHING ELSE TONIGHT, GENTLEMEN? OKAY. NOW THAT WILL TAKE US TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
