[00:00:04]
TIME IS NOW 6:39 PM.[CALL TO ORDER]
THIS WILL CALL TO ORDER THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON.WE WILL BEGIN WITH THE ROLL CALL.
MYSELF, BRIANNA CHACON IS PRESENT. MR. DEFFIBAUGH.
>> MR. UNDERWOOD WILL BE HERE SHORTLY.
THAT WILL MOVE US TO OUR INVOCATION.
TONIGHT WE HAVE MR. KELLY CARR WITH US.
>> LET'S PRAY TOGETHER. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME TO YOU TONIGHT THANKING YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU GIVE US IN A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY WHERE WE LIVE, WHERE WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE URGED US TO COME TOGETHER AND WITH OUR PRAYERS AND ENTREATIES AND REQUEST AND THANKSGIVINGS FOR ALL PEOPLE AND FOR KINGS AND ALL WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY, AND SO TONIGHT WE COME TO YOU KNOWING THAT YOU SEEK THESE THINGS FROM US.
LORD, WE DO COME TO YOU THANKING YOU FOR THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE.
WE THANK YOU FOR THE CITY COUNCIL WHO HAS BEEN WILLING TO PUT THEMSELVES IN A POSITION HERE WHERE THEY CAN DEAL WITH OUR DAILY BUSINESS, MAKING OUR COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE.
WE THANK YOU FOR THE POLICE, FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, FOR OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS.

>> IT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO OUR PUBLIC APPEARANCE.
[PUBLIC APPEARANCE]
SPEAKERS ARE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.THE COUNCIL IS UNABLE TO RESPOND TO OR DISCUSS ANY ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT UP DURING THIS SECTION 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.
YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.
>> MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] PLEASE CALL ME ELAM.
I WANT TO THANK THE CITY OF PRINCETON, EVERYBODY IN CITY WHO CAME TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.
THANK YOU, HONORABLE MAYOR, THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER, [INAUDIBLE], THANKS, SECRETARY.
WE HAVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATION, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF CHANGES TO FACILITIES.
WE DID THE SAME THING TWO YEARS BACK.
I AM ONE OF THE VICTIM OF IT BECAUSE WE HAD A POTLUCK PLAN FOR MAY 31ST.
WE THOUGHT THAT UP TO 250 PEOPLE, WE DON'T NEED POLICE PROTECTION.
THE RULE WAS CHANGED AND IT WAS NOT EVEN CHANGED PROPERLY.
IT WAS CHANGED IN ONE PLACE, NOT IN OTHER PLACE.
MANY OF US WERE MEETING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A MECHANISM BY WHICH WE CAN COLLECT MONEY FOR PAYING FOR IT, AND WE WERE IMPACTED.
BY CITY CHANGING IT, I BELIEVE ALL OF YOU WERE IN THE COUNCIL WHEN THE CHANGE HAPPENED, AND I BELIEVE MANY OF THE CITY STAFF, OR THE SAME SET OF PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE, I THINK WE HAVE LOST OUR MORAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GO AND QUESTION ANOTHER ELECTED SET OF BODIES.
IN FACT, THEIR BUDGET IS BIGGER THAN OURS, THEIR COVERAGE IS BIGGER THAN OURS, SO I THINK WE DON'T HAVE THE MORAL RESPONSIBILITY.
IF YOU WANT TO REALLY TAKE OWNERSHIP, PLEASE REVERT IT.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO ASSEMBLE 250 PEOPLE WITHOUT THE NEED TO PAY FOR THE POLICE.
ON THE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023, NUMBER 17.
THIS IS ABOUT THE BY-LAWS AND RULES OF ORDER.
THERE IS AT LEAST 14 MENTION OF CITIZEN AND NOT A SINGLE INSTANCE OF THE MENTION OF CITIZEN I BELIEVE IS REQUIRED IN THAT PARTICULAR DOCUMENT.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A NEED FOR SOMEBODY TO BE UNITED STATES, WHATEVER, IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SURVEYS OR BY BIRTH A US CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENT.
[00:05:02]
THIS IS JUST PUBLIC, ANYBODY COULD ASK.I DON'T THINK THERE IS A NEED FOR THAT PARTICULAR WORD IF ANY IS REQUIRED.
YOU MAY NEED A WORD LIKE WHAT IS THIS? REGISTERED VOTER, BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE REGISTERED VOTERS IN THE CITY, SO YOU NEED TO BE THERE AND THAT PARTICULAR WORD CAN BE IN THAT PARTICULAR DOCUMENT I RECITED.
THIS WAS CALLED OUT AT LEAST 8, 9 MONTHS BACK, AND THERE WERE CORRECTIONS MADE IN THE DOCUMENT, SO WHOEVER IS PREPARING THE DOCUMENT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT REVIEW IT PROPERLY, SO I DON'T WANT TO REVIEW IT AGAIN.
I THINK IN SECTION 3.2, YOU HAVE REMOVED INVOCATION AND I DON'T ATTEND ANY.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL.
AS YOU KNOW, I'M A BAPTIST PASTOR HERE IN THIS AREA, AND USUALLY, WHENEVER A PASTOR GETS UP TO SPEAK, WE'RE EITHER GOING TO READ A SCRIPTURE OR TAKE UP AN OFFERING.
YOU CAN RELAX, WE'RE NOT TAKING UP AN OFFERING.
I AM GOING TO READ A SCRIPTURE THOUGH FROM MARK CHAPTER 10, AND JESUS WAS BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT DIVORCE.
IN THE COURSE OF ANSWERING THIS QUESTION, HE HAD SOME REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS TO SAY, SOME FACTS THAT I THINK ARE GERMANE TO A LOT OF THINGS IN OUR CONTEMPORARY ISSUES, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST READ THIS PASSAGE AND MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.
JESUS SAID, "BUT FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, GOD MADE THE MALE AND FEMALE AND FOR THIS REASON, A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH, AND SO THEY ARE NO LONGER TWO BUT ONE FLESH.
WHAT THEREFORE GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NO MAN SEPARATE." IF YOU'VE BEEN TO A WEDDING, YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THAT MANY TIMES.
IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE VERY FAMILIAR PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE.
BUT IN THIS PASSAGE, JESUS DOES QUOTE MOSES, WHO'S ACTUALLY QUOTING GOD, AND GIVES US SOME AUTHORITY HERE FOR THIS.
JUST A FEW THINGS. I'D LIKE TO JUST PULLING OUT THREE OBVIOUS THINGS.
BUT ONE IS THAT HE SAYS IT'S MALE AND FEMALE.
THAT GOD CREATED TWO GENDERS, TWO SEXES, NOT SEVERAL.
THAT MARRIAGE INVOLVES TWO PEOPLE, NOT SEVERAL, AND THAT MARRIAGE INVOLVES TWO SEXES OR TWO GENDERS, NOT SEVERAL, JUST MALE AND FEMALE.
I REALIZED THAT THESE FACTS ARE NOT REAL POPULAR TODAY TO TALK ABOUT, BUT I ALSO REALIZED THAT THERE'S A SILENT MAJORITY OUT THERE THAT REALLY UNDERSTANDS THAT QUITE WELL.
MOST OF US ARE PEACE-LOVING PEOPLE.
WE DON'T LIKE TO REALLY TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING OR BE CONFRONTATIONAL ABOUT ANYTHING.
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE TODAY, SILENCE IS AGREEMENT.
OCCASIONALLY YOU DO HAVE TO STAND UP AND JUST SAY SOMETHING SO THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHERE MOST OF US STAND.
WE DON'T WANT TO JUST SIT BACK AND BE QUIET WHILE PIED PIPERS TAKE OUR YOUTH DOWN A WRONG PATH THAT THEY'RE NOT REALLY AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF.
ANYWAY, I'M THANKFUL FOR THE PEOPLE WE HAVE HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR CITY COUNCIL AND OUR SCHOOL BOARD, ADMINISTRATORS, AND MANY PEOPLE WHO STOOD IN THE GAP FOR TRADITIONAL AND CHRISTIAN VALUES FOR A LONG TIME, EVEN WHEN FACED WITH THREATS AND OPPOSITION, AND ACCUSATIONS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE TO WALK A TALL, TIGHTROPE ALL THE TIME.
ANYWAY, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CARR. CLINT LAWRENCE.
>> CLINTON LAWRENCE, 1304 EAST COLLEGE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST TO THIS COUNCIL TO CONSIDER GIVING MORE PRIORITY TO THE FUNDING AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY.
WHILE I ATTENDED AND SPOKE AT A RECENT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, IT BECAME APPARENT THERE'S A NEED FOR SUCH FACILITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.
BY MAKING PARKS AND REC FACILITIES A PRIORITY, THIS WILL LESSEN THE DEPENDENCE ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR SUCH FACILITIES.
IT WAS INDICATED BY THE PARKS DIRECTOR AT THIS BOARD MEETING THAT THE CITY LEANS HEAVILY ON SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR SUCH FACILITIES.
[00:10:04]
I KNOW COUNCILMAN WASHINGTON SUPPORTS SUCH AN INITIATIVE.HE HAS MADE MENTION OF THIS ISSUE AT PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING AND ON A LOCAL PODCAST.
I KNOW THE MAYOR SHOULD SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE SHE SPOKE IN FAVOR OF KEEPING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RENTAL POLICY IN PLACE WITH SOME ADDITIONAL RULES AND GUIDELINES WHICH I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THEIR OWN THIS ISSUE.
AS THEY SAY, STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY AND MOVE THE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAM FORWARD SO IT CAN MEET OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS AND GROWTH. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, BOARD MAYOR FOR LISTENING TO ME TONIGHT.
I EMAILED ALL OF YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY TONIGHT.
I JUST WANTED TO READ REITERATE WHAT I HAD EMAILED YOU ABOUT, SO I'M GOING TO READ THAT TO YOU.
I'M HERE TONIGHT WITH DISTRESS CONCERN ABOUT THE UPCOMING DRAG QUEEN EVENT HELD AT THE DEFFENBAUGH COMMUNITY CENTER ON JANUARY 28TH.
IT MAY BE DISGUISED AS A BINGO, BUT REALLY THE AGENDA IS TO PROMOTE A SEXUALLY ORIENTED EVENT, A DRAG QUEEN EVENT.
I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO POLICIES IN PLACE TO PREVENT ANYONE FROM RENTING THE BUILDING.
IN OTHER WORDS, IMMORAL ACTIVITIES IN PRINCETON OR NOT IN CHECK.
NOTHING CHANGES WHEN NOTHING IS CHANGED.
I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE AND MORAL VALUES OF OUR GROWING PRINCETON COMMUNITY.
THE CHILDREN ARE ULTIMATELY THE VULNERABLE TARGETS.
EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MAN DO NOTHING.
MY PLEASE IS TO SEE BETTER POLICIES IN PLACE TO REFLECT THE MORAL CONSENSUS OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THIS IS NOT A TIME TO BE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.
WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
>> WAS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TONIGHT FOR PUBLIC APPEARANCE THAT DID NOT FILL ANYTHING OUT IN THE BACK? IF NOT, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD.
MAYOR'S COMMENTS DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TONIGHT,
[CONSENT AGENDA]
THEREFORE, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.ALL CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS LISTED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE RETAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED BY ONE MOTION.
THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSIONS OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SO REQUEST, AND WHICH EVENT THAT ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED IN ITS NORMAL SEQUENCE ON THE AGENDA.
TONIGHT UNDER CONSENT, WE HAVE OUR MINUTES.
FP20212159 FINAL PLAT FOR LAKE MEADOW PHASE 2, PL20230019 PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR KALTURA PRINCETON, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-01-23-R03 FOR KHIPO NUMBER 16, AND RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-01-23-R02 FOR ELECTRONIC BEDS.
IF THERE IS NOTHING, GENTLEMEN, IF YOU FEEL NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.
IF I CAN HAVE A MOTION, PLEASE?
>> YOUR HONOR, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
>> WITH THAT I WILL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.
>> MOTION CARRIES 5 0 FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.
ALSO, MS. ANDERSON, IF YOU DON'T MIND MARKING IN OUR NOTES THAT MR. ANDREW WOULDN'T SHOW UP? THANK YOU.
THAT WILL TAKE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.
[REGULAR AGENDA]
WE WILL START WITH AGENDA ITEM 2023-012 FOR AN AWARD OF APPRECIATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE MAYORAL RED KETTLE CHALLENGE PRESENTED BY MARY FREEMAN WITH THE SALVATION ARMY OF NORTH TEXAS.LADIES, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING.
IF YOU'LL JUST TURN YOUR MICROPHONE ON, THERE'S A LITTLE BUTTON TO THE SIDE.
>> MY NAME IS LIEUTENANT CHRISTINA [INAUDIBLE] WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MY ADDRESS? [LAUGHTER] NO. THIS IS MY COLLEAGUE, MARY FREEMAN. WHAT IS YOUR TITLE?
>> COMMUNITY RELATIONS DIRECTOR FOR COLLIN AND DENTON COUNTIES.
>> WE ARE HERE TO THANK THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN OUR MAYORAL CHALLENGE FOR THE SALVATION ARMY, YOU GUYS HELPED US RAISE $1,288.
THAT IS BOTH VIRTUAL KETTLE AND THE ACTUAL RED KETTLE AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR SO MUCH FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM FROM THE MOMENT YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT REQUEST,
[00:15:06]
YOU HAD IMMEDIATE IDEAS WHERE WE COULD INCORPORATE THIS AND IT JUST BLESSED MY HEART SO MUCH.WE'RE HERE TO GIVE THIS BELL TO YOU [INAUDIBLE]
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. [APPLAUSE]
>> FOR EVERYONE'S INFORMATION, THE MAYOR COMPETED WITH MAYOR OF MCKINNEY, OF FRISCO, AND PROSPER AND IT WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE'VE TRIED THIS.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO PARTNERSHIP IN THE FUTURE WITH YOU.
>> I DID WANT TO SAY, LET ME PUT MY GLASSES ON SO I CAN SEE EVERYBODY. SHE IS CORRECT.
I WAS SO EXCITED FROM THE GET-GO FOR THIS BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU KNOW MY HEART, IT'S COMMUNITY-DRIVEN.
I LOVE DOING THINGS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WAS SO FUN TO DO.
BUT WE HAD SANTA CLAUS THERE AND HE SHOWED UP ON HIS MOTORCYCLE.
WE HAD OUR CITY MANAGER THERE, WE HAD PD THERE, WE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE THERE AND IT ENDED UP BEING SO MUCH FUN JUST FOR THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAD FACEBOOK POST ABOUT IT AND JUST SEEING RANDOM PEOPLE SHOW UP THAT WERE EXCITED.
IT BLESSED MY HEART, THANK YOU FOR INVITING US TO DO IT WITH YOU.
ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I GOT ON THAT.
I'M OUT OF BREATH GOING UP AND DOWN THOSE STAIRS. LET'S SEE.
THAT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 2023-013 FOR CPR CLASSES DISCUSSION AND UPDATE FROM THE PRINCETON FIRE DEPARTMENT ON HOW THE CPR CLASSES ARE GOING.
REQUESTED BY MAYOR [INAUDIBLE].
>> THANK YOU MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
I PROVIDED YOU WITH A SHEET WITH SOME BASIC INFORMATION ON HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN TRAINED SO FAR, WHAT WE'RE DOING TO PROMOTE THOSE CLASSES, HOW THE MY CIVIC PROGRAM IS WORKING, AND WHAT WE INTEND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE NOT GETTING QUITE THE PARTICIPATION THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY HOPED FOR.
SOME OF IT HAS TO DO WITH INDIVIDUAL SCHEDULES, NOT REALIZING THAT IT'S A THREE-HOUR COURSE, THEY THINK THAT THEY GET TO COME IN WITHIN THAT WINDOW BUT HAVING TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE THREE HOURS IS A CONFLICT FOR SOME OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND SOME, OF COURSE, ARE SIGNING UP BELIEVING IT'S A CERTIFICATION COURSE WHEN IT'S ONLY THE HANDS-ON.
I GIVE YOU THE SCHEDULE HERE WHICH SHOWS WHERE WE'RE AT THROUGH JANUARY.
THEN OF COURSE, FROM FEBRUARY UNTIL THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR AS TO WHAT'S ON TARGET.
THERE IS ONE OR TWO MORE CERTIFICATION CLASSES THAT WILL BE HELD BUT THEY'RE NOT LISTED.
THERE'S THE THURSDAY PROGRAM THAT WE HAD SET UP.
OUR GOAL WITH THIS ENTIRE PROGRAM IS TO MOVE THE CITY TOWARDS WHAT THEY CALL A HEART-SAFE COMMUNITY.
WHAT I PROVIDED YOU IN ADDITION TO THIS COVER SHEET TONIGHT WAS A BRIEF ON WHAT A HEART-SAFE COMMUNITY IS, AND THEN THE HEART SAFE COMMUNITY SURVEY.
YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S SOME X'S OUT TO THE SIDE OF EACH OF THE THINGS THAT'S REQUIRED OF OUR COMMUNITY TO GAIN THAT HEART-SAFE COMMUNITY CERTIFICATION.
I HAVE IDENTIFIED WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND WHICH WE DON'T HAVE.
FIFTEEN PERCENT OF OUR POPULATION WOULD HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED IN CPR FOR THE CITY TO EVEN QUALIFY TO BEGIN WITH.
IF WE CONSIDER THE FACT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW
[00:20:03]
THROUGH NEXT YEAR AND WE USE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF 30,000.THAT MEANS 4,500 INDIVIDUALS IN THIS CITY WOULD HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED IN CPR.
YOU ALSO NOTICE THAT AT THE VERY BOTTOM, IT GIVES YOU THE OTHER COMMUNITIES WITHIN COLLIN COUNTY THAT ARE HEARTS SAFE COMMUNITIES AT THIS TIME.
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 600 THROUGHOUT THE NATION.
IT'S NOT EASY TO OBTAIN, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO OBTAIN.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER ELEMENT OF THE CITY THAT WE CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF OUR CITIZENS, AND YOU CAN FEEL SAFER ABOUT COMING HERE AND LIVING AND REALIZING THAT WE'RE DOING MORE THAN JUST TALKING ABOUT IT, WE'RE TRAINING PEOPLE IN OUR CITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
>> WELL, I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR DOING THIS FOR OUR CITIZENS.
AGAIN, JUST HAVING MORE CITIZENS FILL IN THE GAPS WHERE WE CAN'T ALWAYS HAVE FIRST RESPONDERS THERE QUICKLY, THAT MAYBE YOUR NEIGHBOR CAN HELP, ASSIST, OR JUST HELPING.
AS YOU KNOW MY HUSBAND DID IT OVER THE WEEKEND.
HE WENT TO ONE OF THE CPR CLASSES, LOVED IT.
HAD A LITTLE INSIDER VIEW ON HOW IT WENT, HE'S VERY SORE AFTER THOSE TWO MINUTES OF COMPRESSIONS.
HE'S GOT SOME GEM GOALS NOW THAT HE NEEDS TO WORK THROUGH.
BUT, I WILL SAY JUST A LITTLE FEEDBACK ON THAT AND NOT FROM HIM, BUT JUST FROM THE PUBLIC.
IT DOES SEEM THERE MIGHT BE SOME CONFUSION ON THE CLASSES, THAT SOME ARE CERTIFIED AND SOME ARE NOT.
I THINK YOU SPOKE TO THAT A LITTLE BIT, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT NEEDS TO BE A DIFFERENT MARKETING CAMPAIGN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT THERE DIFFERENTLY, BUT THERE IS SOME CONFUSION OVER WHAT CLASSES WILL AND WILL NOT GET THAT CERTIFICATION.
>> SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HANDS ONLY MEANS AND WE MIGHT JUST HAVE TO CLARIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAT IT DOESN'T COME WITH A CERTIFICATION.
>> OTHER THAN THAT, IT WAS A WONDERFUL PROGRAM.
AGAIN, I LOVE THAT WE HAVE THAT FOR OUR COMMUNITIES, SO GET TO THAT 15 PERCENT, WE CAN DO IT.
>> WE'LL CONTINUE ON, WE HOPE TO ENGAGE ALL THE CITY DEPARTMENTS, SET THE EXAMPLE AS THE CITY AND TRY TO CERTIFY EVERY CITY EMPLOYEE FIRST, OR AT LEAST IN THE PROCESS.
>> SURE AS COUNSELORS TOO, WE NEED TO MAKE FOR SURE WE DO THAT AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
>> THAT 15 PERCENT AND I KNOW THAT YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU-ALL CERTIFIED AND IF HE SERVED VOWEL THE CITY EMPLOYEES, BUT HOW ABOUT ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE PROBABLY ALREADY CERTIFIED THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT.
>> THAT'S GOOD QUESTION AND THAT WOULD HAVE TO TAKE SOME RESEARCH AND FIND OUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT WOULD QUALIFY UNDER THE STIPULATIONS THAT THE PROGRAM RUNS UNDER, WHETHER WE CAN USE PAST CPR PARTICIPANTS OR WHETHER THEY HAVE TO BE COLLIN COUNTY PARTICIPANTS TO QUALIFY WITHOUT GOING THROUGH A PROGRAM THAT WE MANAGE.
>> BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL EMTS AND PARAMEDICS FROM DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS THAT LIVE HERE IN TOWN?
>> I'M SURE THEIR CAR IS GOOD.
>> I THINK PROBABLY THROW A FEW MORE HUNDRED IN THERE.
>> PROBABLY. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> WELL, GENTLEMEN, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOU.
THAT'LL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 2023-014 FOR WINCHESTER CROSSING DISCUSSION IN THAT DATE FROM THE PRINCETON POLICE DEPARTMENT REGARDING DATA ON CITATIONS ISSUED FOR SPEED IN WINCHESTER CROSSING SUBDIVISION, AND WOULD LIKE TO STOP TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR SPEED BUMPS OR SPEED REDUCTION IN THAT AREA REQUESTED BY MAYOR [INAUDIBLE].
>> MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS [NOISE] OUR COUNCIL MEETING, WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT THREE DIFFERENT SPOTS WITHIN THE CITY.
ONE WAS GOING TO BE TEAK WOOD AND THE OTHER ONE WAS GOING TO BE WINCHESTER CROSSING.
AS YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE ORDINANCE, ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES WITHIN OUR ORDINANCE STATES THAT A TRAFFIC SURVEY HAS TO BE DONE.
APPROXIMATE ABOUT A YEAR, YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO, THE CITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS, WE PURCHASED A SPEED SURVEY TRAILER WHICH ALSO READS [NOISE] TRAFFIC COUNTS AS FAR AS WHAT DIRECTIONS ARE GONE, SPEED, EVERYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
WE SET THAT SURVEY TRAILER UP AT TEAK WOOD THIS LAST WEEK, WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND CURRENTLY IT IS IN PROCESS OF GETTING THE BATTERIES REPLACED.
WE TOOK IT DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND.
THIS NEXT WEEK WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING END UP AT WINCHESTER.
I KNOW MYSELF ALONG WITH TOM AND MATT WITH PUBLIC WORKS, MR. BORDEN, MR. FORK, WE SAT DOWN AND WE FOUND SOME AREAS OF CONCERN WITHIN WINCHESTER CROSSING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT.
[00:25:02]
I KNOW MR. MATT WILL COME UP WITH A PLAN BETWEEN EVERYBODY AS FAR AS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO POSSIBLY INSTALL UNTIL THE SURVEY ACTUALLY COMES BACK.TOM, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP.
>> MAYOR COUNCIL, SO WERE ACTUALLY WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME AREAS THAT ARE NEAR SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, SPECIFICALLY WHERE WE'LL BE INSTALLING CROSSWALKS.
THE SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS FOR THAT ARE ON ORDER CURRENTLY.
THERE'S SOME PRETTY STRINGENT REGULATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO SIGNAGE FOR CROSSWALKS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
IT'LL BE ABLE TO GRAB THE DRIVERS OF TENSIONS IN THE AREA TO SLOW THEM DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE'S CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE AREA.
>> WHEN YOU SAY CROSSWALKS, IS IT A FLASHING LED TYPE CROSSWALK OR JUST SIGNAGE? WHAT IS IT LOOK LIKE?
>> NO, MA'AM, IT'LL BE ROADWAY MARKINGS, PAVEMENT MARKINGS, AND SIGNAGE CURRENTLY.
BUT WITH THAT IN PLACE AND WITH THE PD IN AREAS WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT THAT WILL HELP DETER SPEEDERS IN THE AREA.
>> CURRENTLY THE CROSSWALKS ARE GOING TO END UP GOING ON SMOKEY DRAFT, A QUARTER TRAIL AND SPUR JOB AS WELL.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A COMMUNITY PARK THAT'S GOING TO BE RIGHT THERE AT THOSE INTERSECTIONS.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'D LIKE TO PUT THE CROSSWALKS IN THERE.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO THIS NEXT WEEK IMPLEMENT THE SPEECH RIGHT OVER THERE AS WELL.
ON TEAK WOOD, I BELIEVE TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY THE NEW SPEED LIMIT SIGNS ARE GOING TO BE GOING UP TO TEAK WOOD.
WE HAVE REDUCED THE SPEED LIMIT FROM 30 MILES AN HOUR TO 25 MILES AN HOUR.
WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THE SPEECH RATHER BACK OUT ON TEAK WOOD FOR THE NEXT WEEK JUST TO GET ANALYSIS OF WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE AND THEN WE'LL END UP MOVING IT OVER INTO SMOKY DRIVE.
>> THANK YOU. JUST FOR MY KNOWLEDGE AND I'M SURE THERE'S SOME TYPE OF STATISTIC MAYBE YOU MIGHT KNOW ON THIS.
WHEN YOU REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT, SAY ABOUT FIVE MILES AN HOUR OR WHATEVER, YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH.
WHAT TYPE OF DETERRENT DOES THAT ACTUALLY CREATE? DO YOU SEE THAT ACTUALLY DOES? HOW EFFICIENT IS THAT? I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT.
>> PEOPLE USUALLY DRIVE, THEY'RE CREATURES OF HABIT.
CORRECT. THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE SAME WAY.
WE USUALLY TRY TO USE EITHER A LITTLE BIT MORE HEAVIER LAW ENFORCEMENT AREA JUST TO TRY TO DRAW AWARENESS, WE'LL PUT OUT SOME SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS.
I KNOW TANISH IS OUT THERE IN THE BACK HERE IN THE BACK, SO SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT OUT SOME MEDIA POSTS TO HELP BROADCAST OUT THERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE REDUCING SPEEDING AREAS.
IT USED TO BE BEFORE WE ARE HOME RULE, WE HAD TO ADOPT EVERY SINGLE STREET THAT WAS GOING TO BE BROUGHT BELOW PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT, WHICH IS 30 MILES AN HOUR IN A STATE OF TEXAS.
INSTEAD OF PUTTING EVERYTHING FORTH WITHIN A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THE CITY CAN GO IN AND DO A SPEED SURVEY ANALYSIS AND THEN WE JUST MOVE FORWARD WITH DROPPING SPEED LIMITS.
IF WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE GETTING THE PUBLIC INFORMED OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
IT'S EITHER GOING TO BE HEAVIER POLICE PRESENCE, SOCIAL MEDIA AWARENESS, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
THAT WAY THE PUBLIC AT LARGE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> FANTASTIC. GENTLEMEN, ANY QUESTIONS?
>> WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR DILIGENCE IN THIS.
I KNOW THAT WE HAD SEVERAL CITIZENS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY AFTER THE INCIDENT THEY HAD ABOUT THAT CHILD, SO I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT AND MR. MATTHEW AS WELL. THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET A TAKE TO AGENDA ITEM 2023-015, PUBLIC HEARING FOR WHITEWING TRAILS PID NUMBER TWO, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE LEVEE OF ASSESSMENTS FOR PHASE TWO OF RIGHT-WING TROLLS PID NUMBER TWO, THE PUBLIC HEARING SHOULD BE OPEN TO AND CONTINUE TO THE FEBRUARY 13TH, 2023 COUNCIL MEETING.
THE TIME IS 7:08 PM, THIS WILL BEGIN OUR PUBLIC HEARING.
MR. SURBONUS, ARE YOU HERE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING?
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
THIS EVENING, WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO TAKE FORMAL ACTION TO POSTPONE THIS TO YOUR FEBRUARY 13TH MEETING.
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARING THE OFFERING MEMORANDUM AND MARKETING THE BONDS, BUT THEY'RE NOT READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH LEVING ASSESSMENT TILL WE PRICE THOSE BONDS.
I'M HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT PROCESS WILL BE.
PREVIOUSLY EARLY ON WHEN HE FIRST GOT INVOLVED IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS, WE WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF PROCESSES ABOUT OFFERING DOCUMENTS IN MANY DOCUMENTS UPFRONT, ESPECIALLY ON NEW PROJECTS.
BUT THE THOUGHT PROCESS HAS BEEN THAT THIS IS THE SECOND PHASE OF A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT AND THE GOAL WORKING WITH CITY MANAGER AND SENIOR STAFF IS A STREAMLINE AS TO MAKE THE PROCESS SMOOTHER FROM ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS.
[00:30:03]
ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, THERE'LL BE A SALE OF BONDS AND ALL THE ITEMS WILL BE RELATED, INCLUDING THIS PUBLIC HEARING.THE PROJECT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.
PHASE ONE, WHICH BONDS WERE FUNDED 366 SLOTS, ALL BEEN CLOSED TO BUILDERS, 352 HOMES ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETED, 337 OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THIRD-PARTY OWNED BY HOMEOWNERS.
THE PHASE TWO THAT WILL BE THE LEVEE OF THIS ASSESSMENTS WILL BE 572 LOTS, 566 HAD BEEN SOLD TO BUILDERS.
THE AVERAGE PRICE POINT PROJECTED IS ABOUT $436,000 PER HOME AND IT'LL BE ABOUT 250 MILLION IN VALLEY FOR THE CITY AT OUR CURRENT TAX RATE WE'LL BE GENERATING ABOUT $1.3 MILLION IN AD VALOREM TAXES FROM THIS PROJECT.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL REVIEW AND AFTER HIS APPROVAL, WE ANTICIPATE CLOSING ON MARCH 7TH.
AT THAT TIME, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING A $1,495,000 PAID FEE TO THE CITY.
IN SUMMARY, IT'S BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.
THERE'S A NATURAL A PROCESS WHERE THE FIRST PHASE HAS BEEN BUILT OUT AND FULLY ABSORBED, WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH PHASE TWO AS EXPECTED, AND THINGS ARE GOING VERY WELL.
THIS BOND ISSUE, WE EXPECT THE PRICE EFFICIENTLY AT THAT TIME, SO WHEN THE TIME COME SO THERE WOULD BE NO SURPRISES ON THE 13TH WHEN WE HAVE ALL THE ITEMS. BUT WE'LL BE HERE AND WE'LL EXPLAIN THOSE ITEMS IN DETAIL INDIVIDUALLY.
I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
>> FOR THE 566 HOMES, IS THAT STILL GOING TO BE HORTON AND PULTE?
>> THIS CAN BE A VARIETY OF BUILDERS.
THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT BUILDERS I AM UNDERSTANDING WILL BE ABSORBING IN THAT AREA.
I APOLOGIZE, THERE'S 572 TOTAL LOTS 566 HAVE BEEN SOLD, SIX LEFT TO GO IN CASE ANYBODY'S INTERESTED.
>> [LAUGHTER] HOP ON THAT. GENTLEMEN. DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. SURBONUS?
>> YEAH. ACTUALLY JUST POSTPONE TO.
>> TO POSTPONE, DO WE NEED A MOTION TO DO THAT?
>> WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP IT OPEN UNTIL THE FEBRUARY 13TH.
CORRECT. WE DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT.
SINCE WE'RE STILL IN PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT ALSO NEEDS TO SPEAK FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING? THANK YOU, MR. SURBONUS.
PLEASE CALL ME ILA, NO PRONOUNS, PLEASE, 903 GRAND STREET.
ARE THERE OTHER PUBLIC HEARING SPEAKER, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SUCCESSFUL MEANS, TO ME AS A RESIDENT IT IS UNSUCCESSFUL PROJECT.
WE WERE PROMISED AMENITY CENTER, NOT DELIVERED.
THE EXPECTATION IS FOUR YEARS FROM NOW.
THE SPEAKER WAS MENTIONING ABOUT ALL HOMES ARE SOLD.
ASK THE SAME QUESTION TO PULTE.
THEY HAD TO PUT ADDITIONAL PEOPLE ON SITE TO SELL MORE HOMES.
THEY ARE IN A QUICK MOVING STATE.
THERE ARE MANY LOTS THAT ARE STILL EMPTY AND THE SIDEWALKS ARE NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS THAT ARE STILL EMPTY.
THE SAME DEVELOPER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING BEACHAM.
I BELIEVE THE BEACHAM IS NOT LEGALLY OFFICIALLY OPENED.
THIS MORNING IT WAS VERY COLD.
I WAS TRYING TO WALK ON THE SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE TOWARDS 380.
YES I KNOW THAT MOST OF YOUR CARE ONLY FOR THE CARS, BUT THERE ARE HUMANS MOVING ON THE SIDEWALKS AS WELL.
TO ME, THE DEVELOPER HAS DONE NOT GOOD JOB.
IT IS SAD FOR ME TO NOTE THAT THE COUNCIL OR THE STAFF BELIEVES THAT THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.
EXAMPLE OF THAT LAST P&Z MEETING, THE DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENTED, FINAL PLAT WAS PRESENTED.
BOTH PHASE B, PHASE C WAS NUMBERED THE SAME.
IF THEY ARE APPROVING IT, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL BE CONSIDERED AS APPROVAL.
UNIQUE NUMBER WAS NOT BOTH WERE IDENTICALLY LISTED THERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THE STAFF WOULD COME AND SAY THAT IT IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AND THEN IT WAS PUBLISHED AND THEN THEY COME TO THE MEETING AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT READY AND WE RECOMMEND FOR IT TO BE NOT APPROVED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY WE SHOULD WASTE OUR TIME.
I DON'T KNOW WHY WE CANNOT TELL THE DEVELOPER THAT IS NOT OKAY AND LET THEM KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY KNOW THAT IT IS NOT OKAY TO DO.
[00:35:03]
I TRIED TO READ THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE ON ORDINANCE.APPARENTLY, THAT MAY BE OKAY AND STILL WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM PLANNING AND ZONING, APPARENTLY CAN COME TO THE COUNCIL AND COUNCIL CAN PROBABLY APPROVE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS AND HOW THAT IS GOING TO OPERATE. I DON'T KNOW.
TO ME, IT FEELS LIKE THE CITY STAFF AND CITY COUNCIL IS BEING VERY LENIENT ON THIS DEVELOPER.
HENCE, WE ARE NOT GETTING THE RESOURCES THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING ON TIME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PRICING OF, I BELIEVE IT DOES 18 MILLION DOLLAR.
I DO NOT KNOW HOW THE NUMBER CAME DOWN TO 16.
I DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS OF IT.
I THINK I HAVE SPOKEN IN THE MEETING THAT MAPS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
THE MAPS WERE AVAILABLE FOR PHASE B AND C. I STILL DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO FACE A MAP.
THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE NUMBER OF THE SQUARE FEET AND THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT ARE TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS OF JANUARY 2022.
THE DOCUMENT THAT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON THE CITY WEBSITE DOES NOT MATCH WHAT WAS GIVEN IN THE DOCUMENT.
THERE IS A MASTER PLAN THAT WAS NOT MENTIONED IN P&Z, SO I FEEL THAT THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWED EITHER I DON'T UNDERSTAND OR THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THAT IS HAPPENING.
I WISH YOU AND WHY SHOULD WE EXTEND BEYOND FEBRUARY 13TH? THIS WAS KNOWN FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS BACK.
THANKS TO THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT.
I BELIEVE HE WAS THE REASON FOR HOLDING IT LAST TIME BECAUSE THE STREETS ARE NOT DONE AND THEY WANT TO CLAIM THAT IT IS DONE THE WAY DEVELOPED CROSS-SELLING.
IT IS ALL DONE EXCEPT FOR SEAN DOESN'T LIKE IT.
I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T WANT TO USE NAMES. DIDN'T LIKE IT.
TO ME IT WAS A SHOCKING TO ME BECAUSE PROBABLY THE DEVELOPER EXPECTED THE CITY TO ACCEPT WHATEVER THEY THREW AT US.
ANOTHER THING IS IF YOU ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO KEEP ON CHANGING, IT'S GOING TO CHANGE OUR BASELINES, HENCE, WE WILL LOSE WHAT WE ORIGINALLY WANTED.
BY DELAYING, IT IS ANOTHER TACTICS TO POTENTIALLY DO NOT WRITE THINGS FOR THE CITY.
I WOULD LIKE TO TIGHTEN UP THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT ARE REQUIRED ON THIS DEVELOPER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> ANYONE ELSE HERE TONIGHT FOR PUBLIC APPEARANCE? OKAY, IF NOT, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THAT OPEN, BUT WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM.
IT'S ITEM 2023-016, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-01- 23-R FOR TICKEY CREEK CO, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE TICKEY CREEK BANK STABILIZATION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.
>> MAYOR COUNCIL, THIS PROJECT IS NEARING COMPLETION.
THAT'S TICKEY CREEK BANK STABILIZATION PROJECT.
FOR A LITTLE CLARIFICATION ON WHAT THE PROJECT IS.
IT'S A BANK STABILIZATION OF THE CREEK THERE AND IT'S PROTECTING A LARGE SANITARY SEWER LINE NOW THAT WE HAVE TRAVELS DOWN SOUTH TO THE NORTH TEXAS LIFT STATION.
DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS LINE, WE SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT STORM EVENT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION, WHICH WAS DURING A VULNERABLE TIME OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND IT CAUSED SOME DAMAGE THAT WE HAD TO RECOVER FROM.
THIS IS THE CHANGE ORDER THAT RESULTED FROM US GETTING THAT WORK PUT BACK IN PLACE.
BEYOND THAT, I CAN PROBABLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
BUT THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, IS TRYING TO FIXING THAT DAMAGE AND CLOSING THIS PROJECT OUT.
>> GENTLEMEN, ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. IF I COULD GO AHEAD AND GET A MOTION, PLEASE.
>> I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM [NOISE] EXCUSE ME, 2023-016, RESOLUTION NUMBER 20230123, TIKI CREEK.
>> I'LL SECOND THAT, YOUR HONOR.
>> WITH THAT WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE, MR. DUFFABA.
>> MOTION CARRIES 50 FOR THE APPROVAL OF AGENDA ITEM 2023-016 FOR RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-01-23 FOR TIKI CREEK CEO.
THAT WILL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 2023-017, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-01-23-R01 FOR BYLAWS AND RULES OF ORDER DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON RESOLUTION 2023-01-23-R01 ADOPTING A REVISED COUNCIL RELATIONS POLICY RULES OF ORDER ENCODED THE ETHICS FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON, THE COUNCIL AND ITS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. BEFORE YOU TODAY ON THIS RESOLUTION IS JUST AN AMENDMENT TO DO A BUNCH OF CLEANUP AND HOUSE-CLEANING TO
[00:40:03]
YOUR BYLAWS AND RULES OF ORDER [NOISE] THAT APPLY TO THIS BODY, AND ALSO BY EXTENSION, WILL BE APPLIED TO IN SLIGHTLY MODIFIED FORM TO ALL THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING ESSENTIALLY THE SAME FRAMEWORK THAT APPLIES TO YOU ALL.MOST OF THESE CHANGES ARE WARRANTED BY OR NECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE ADOPTION OF THE HOME RULE CHARTER, WE HAD TO TAKE OUT SOME OUTDATED REFERENCES TO STATE LAWS THAT DON'T APPLY TO US AS A HOME RULE CHARTER MUNICIPALITY, AND THEN SOME JUST CLEAN UP AND CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC COMMENTS OR AREAS TO [NOISE] HIGHLIGHT TO YOU.
I THINK IT'S PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY WHAT'S BEING DONE.
THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MARKET CHANGES TO THE OPERATIONS OF THIS BODY OR THE CONDUCT OF MEETINGS MOVING FORWARD.
WITH RESPECT THERE WAS A PUBLIC COMMENT THOUGH WE HAD DURING OUR PUBLIC APPEARANCE PERIOD TODAY FROM ELAM REGARDING THE INCLUSION OF THE WORD CITIZEN, IF YOU RECALL, SEVERAL MONTHS BACK OR CLOSE TO A YEAR BACK, HE MADE A COMMENT ABOUT TRYING TO OR TAKING THAT WORD OUT OF OUR AGENDA LISTINGS WHERE IT WAS UNNECESSARILY USED IN THE SENSE THAT IT COULD CREATE CONFUSION FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT HAVE LEGAL CITIZENSHIP STATUS FROM TERMS OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT POINT OF VIEW.
FOR PURPOSES OF THE BYLAWS, THE WORD IS BEING USED IN A VERY INFORMAL SENSE.
IT'S JUST USING THE GENERAL COLLOQUIAL THING, JUST MEAN AN INHABITANT OF YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY.
HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT BE ANY REAL SIGNIFICANT BURDEN OR CONSEQUENCES OTHER THAN IT WOULD TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF JUST EDITING AND WORD SUBSTITUTION TO CLARIFY THAT AND TO MAKE IT SO THAT THE BYLAWS OF THE CITY COUNCIL DID NOT INCLUDE ANY USES OF THAT WORD IF THAT WAS SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO YOU ALL, THAT CAN CERTAINLY BE DONE BEFORE IT'S FINALIZED AND EXECUTED.
YOU WOULD JUST INDICATE THAT IN THE MOTION TO APPROVE.
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ADDRESS THEM HERE.
>> DID HAVE ONE QUESTION, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THIS IS SECTION 7-1.
SPECIFICALLY, SECTION A, LETTERS ADDRESSED TO MAYOR AND/OR CITY COUNCIL, ALL LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL REQUIRING A RESPONSE FROM STAFF.
THAT SECTION, IS THIS ONLY LIKE PAPER MAIL, OR ARE WE INCLUDING DIGITAL IN THIS AS WELL?
>> THE INTENT OF THAT CLAUSE IS TO BE WITH RESPECT TO THE PAPER MAIL.
IT'S TRYING TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHEN THERE'S AN OFFICIAL WRITTEN COMMUNICATION OFTEN WHICH CAN BE A CERTIFIED MAIL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, MIGHT BE SIGNED FOR BY A STAFF MEMBER OR BE ADDRESSED TO THE ENTIRE COUNCIL IN SOME WAY IN SIGN FOR BY JUST ONE MEMBER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S WHAT THAT SECTION IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS.
WE CAN CERTAINLY EXPAND IT TO INCLUDE ELECTRONIC MAIL MESSAGES AS WELL.
BUT THIS POLICY WAS NOT INTENDED TO SERVE THAT FUNCTION.
>> I'M HAPPY WITH IT THE WAY IT IS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE FOR SURE BEFORE I ASSUMED.
THEN ALSO MR. BORG MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS ONE FOR THE MASTER CALENDAR.
MASTER CALENDAR CITY COUNCIL EVENTS FUNCTIONS WILL BE PREPARED BY THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE.
WHERE'S THE MASTER CALENDAR GOING TO BE STORED AT? HOW DO WE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT OR IS THAT GOING TO BE THROUGH OUR THE DRIVE ONLINE THROUGH OUR E-MAIL THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE?
>> IT CAN BE. CURRENTLY, IT WILL BE THE CITY SECRETARY WHO WILL STORE THAT MASTER CALENDAR.
AS WE DISCUSSED BEFORE, IT CAN BE PART OF THE ONE DRIVE OR WHATEVER.
>> ALL RIGHT. I GUESS IF WE COULD JUST MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT DISCUSSION THEN MAKE FOR SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS ON THE ONE DRIVE.
I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT BEFORE MAKING FOR SURE JUST SO THAT WE CAN ALL BE HERE ATTENDANCE-WISE AND WE HAVE A QUORUM.
MAKING SURE THAT MASTER CALENDAR IS ACCESSIBLE QUICKLY.
>> ABSOLUTELY, AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S CLEAR COMMUNICATION THAT WE'RE NOT CREATING A QUORUM AND HAVING DISCUSSIONS LIKE THAT.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THOSE COMPONENTS ARE IN PLACE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AND IF NOT, WE CAN GO AND GET A MOTION FOR THIS, PLEASE?
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 2023-017, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-01-23-R01 BYLAWS AND RULES OF ORDER.
>> THAT WILL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE, MR. DUFFABA?
>> MOTION CARRIES 5-0 FOR THE APPROVAL OF AGENDA ITEM 2023-017 FOR RESOLUTION NUMBER
[00:45:04]

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT AND OR REAPPOINTMENT TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR PLACE SIX.
I DID HAVE SOMEBODY THAT I WOULD LIKE TO APPOINT TO THAT POSITION.
GENTLEMEN, IF WE COULD MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION TONIGHT, IT WOULD BE MR. JODY SUTHERLAND.
HE DID SUBMIT HIS APPLICATION WHICH MS. ANDERSON DOES HAVE IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THAT.
MR. SUTHERLAND IS A FORMER PRACTICING ATTORNEY.
HE HAS SAT ON MANY DIFFERENT POLITICAL COMMITTEES ACROSS THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.
HE CURRENTLY SITS ON OUR NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER STREET BOARD AS ONE OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES HERE FROM THE CITY OF PRINCETON.
HE WAS ALSO THE CHAIR ON THE HUMERAL CHARTER COMMITTEE.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A GREAT ASSET TO THAT BOARD.
ONE, YOU NOTICE FOR HIS LEGAL ADVICE AND EXPERTISE.
NOT GIVING ADVICE, BUT JUST THAT MINDSET THERE, AS WELL AS HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHARTER AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND THINGS ARE STILL A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THAT REGARD AND HE'S JUST GOT A GREAT DRIVE TO WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN OUR CITY.
>> YOUR HONOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE JODY SUTHERLAND TO FILL THAT PLACES SIX FOR THE COMMUNITY COOPERATION.
>> THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND?
>> WITH THAT WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE, MR. DUFFABA?
>> MOTION CARRIES 5-0 FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF JODY SUTHERLAND TO PLACE SIX.
AGENDA ITEM 2023-018 FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
THAT WILL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 2023-019, ORDINANCE NUMBER 2023-01-23 FOR FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE ENTIRETY OF THIS.
WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING THIS TONIGHT.
GENTLEMEN, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THIS TO OUR NEXT MEETING, SO NO ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THIS TONIGHT.
THAT'LL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM 2023-020 FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE REQUESTS FOR ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA, AND NOT FOR DISCUSSION OF THESE REQUESTS.
ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TONIGHT WE NEED TO ADD TO A FUTURE AGENDA?
>> YES, I DO. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET JUST THE PARKS UPDATE, AS WELL AS DISCUSS SOME POSSIBILITIES ON WHAT WE CAN DO TO EXPAND OUR FACILITIES AS WELL.
>> ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
EXECUTIVE SESSION IN ORDINANCE WITH CHAPTER 551 AND THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
THE CITY COUNCIL MAY ANSWER INTO A CLOSE SESSION OR EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING.
THERE IS NOTHING TO DISCUSS TONIGHT.
