Sep 23, 2024 City Council

[00:00:03]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING.

[A. CALL TO ORDER]

THIS WILL CALL TO ORDER OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON.

TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2024.

WE WILL BEGIN WITH A ROLL CALL.

THIS IS GOING TO TAKE US TO OUR WORKSHOP, OUR WORK SESSION AGENDA.

[B. WORK SESSION AGENDA]

GOOD EVENING, MR. LAND COUNCIL, GENTLEMEN.

THERE YOU GO. INTERIM DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS.

SO WORK SESSION IS DESIGNED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CONVERSATIONAL.

SO THE GOAL OF A WORK SESSION IS TO BRING AN ITEM FORWARD TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION BEFORE IT COMES FORWARD FOR, SAY, A VOTE.

AND SO AS WE GET TO THE BOTTOM.

FIRST SLIDE.

ON THE SOUTH. SO THERE'S THIS ONE COMING UP. SO DRONE DELIVERIES ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE PREVALENT.

IN FACT, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THOSE IN PLANO AND RECENTLY NORTH RICHLAND HILLS APPROVED TWO DRONE TAKEOFF FACILITIES.

WALMART HAS ANNOUNCED THEY'RE INTENDING TO HAVE DRONE DELIVERIES FOR ALL OF THE 30 CITIES THAT THEY OPERATE IN IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA.

WITH THAT COMES SOME CONCERNS.

YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN WE DO? WHAT CAN'T WE DO? WE HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY THE PRINCETON WALMART ABOUT THEIR INTENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DRONE DELIVERIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

BEFORE THAT COMES FORWARD, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T REGULATE.

AND WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING OUR ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY WHO'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS.

AND THEN WE WANT TO HAVE MORE OF A CONVERSATION WITH YOU ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO BE PROACTIVE.

GRANT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALRIGHTY. GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

SO, AS JOHN MENTIONED IN HIS LITTLE INTRODUCTION, THERE ARE THERE'S AN EMERGENCE OF DRONE DELIVERIES ACROSS NORTH TEXAS.

YOU KNOW, MANY RETAILERS SUCH AS WALMART, AMAZON, ETC., ARE DESIRING TO UTILIZE DRONES.

OR ALSO REFERRED TO AS UNMANNED, UNCREWED ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT.

SO A LOT OF WORDS THERE TO DELIVER PRODUCTS TO CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY TYPICALLY DO.

NOW AMAZON IS MAYBE LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT MODEL, BUT THEY TYPICALLY PARTNER WITH OTHER COMMERCIAL DRONE DELIVERY COMPANIES, SUCH AS SOME OF THE BIG ONES BEING WING, FLYTREX AND ZIPLINE. DRONE UP SOME OF THOSE MENTIONED ON THE SLIDE.

TYPICALLY THESE RETAILERS ARE LOOKING AT DOING DRONE DELIVERIES FOR THE LAST MILE DELIVERY.

SO THINK LIKE FROM THE WALMART STOREFRONT TO SOMEONE'S FRONT DOOR OR FROM A WAREHOUSE TO THEIR FRONT DOOR.

SO IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT GOING A HUGE STRETCH FROM THE DELIVERY POINT TO THE HOUSE.

JUST, YOU KNOW, THAT LAST MILE OR TWO FOR EFFICIENCIES AND FEASIBILITY.

SO SOME OF THE CONCERNS YOU KNOW, AS JOHN MENTIONED, OTHER CITIES, PLANO, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, ETC.

HAVE ADOPTED SIMILAR REGULATIONS.

SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT RESIDENTS RAISED AT THOSE CITIES ARE COMING IN THE FORM OF NOISE AND PRIVACY CONCERNS.

SO I'LL KIND OF ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE IN THE NEXT SLIDES AND SHOW YOU WHAT THE CITY CAN AND CANNOT REGULATE SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A DRONE DELIVERY ORDINANCE.

SO THANK YOU. AMBER.

SO THE FIRST PART IS WHAT MUNICIPALITIES CAN REGULATE.

SO THINK ABOUT LAND USE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CAN REGULATE.

SO THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF THE DRONE DELIVERY HUB.

YOU CAN LIMIT THE SIZE OF THE HUB TO A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL LOT OR SQUARE FOOTAGE.

YOU CAN ALSO HAVE CERTAIN SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, WHETHER IT BE, YOU KNOW, 300FT, 500FT FROM A QUIET ZONE OR FROM A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU CAN ALSO ENFORCE SOME OF YOUR SCREENING REQUIREMENTS.

I KNOW THE CITY HAS SOME SCREENING REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY REQUIRE SOLID MASONRY, REINFORCED CONCRETE OR VINYL MATERIAL SCREENING TO MAKE IT YOU KNOW, MORE ATTRACTIVE TO LOOK AT.

YOU CAN ALSO, TO SOME EXTENT REGULATE THE NOISE SO WE CAN ENFORCE OUR NOISE ORDINANCE.

YOU CAN ALSO BY IMPLEMENTING THAT THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS AND THE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS WILL HELP CUT BACK ON THE NOISE A LITTLE BIT.

SO JUST AS A LITTLE EXAMPLE, TYPICALLY DRONES OPERATE AT BETWEEN 150 AND 200FT IN THE AIR.

THEY CAN'T GO ABOVE 400FT PER FAA REQUIREMENT.

SO THEY'RE USUALLY WITHIN THAT AREA.

SO WHEN A DRONE TAKES OFF AT ZERO FEET, SO FROM THE GROUND GOING UP, THE NOISE IS OBVIOUSLY THE LOUDEST BECAUSE THEY'RE CLOSEST TO THE GROUND.

[00:05:08]

SO THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF A LIKE A GARBAGE DISPOSAL.

SO I'M JUST KIND OF GIVING YOU SOME OF THESE EXAMPLES BECAUSE SOME OF THESE CONCERNS MAY BE RAISED.

AT TAKEOFF AT APPROXIMATELY 50FT IN THE AIR IS AROUND 75DB.

SO THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF MAYBE AN ALARM CLOCK.

AND THEN TAKING OFF 150FT AWAY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF TRAFFIC NOISE OR A VACUUM CLEANER DRONE, WHEN THEY'RE IN THE AIR AT THAT AVERAGE HEIGHT OF ABOUT 200FT.

IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF JUST LIKE NORMAL TALKING, NORMAL, NORMAL SPEECH.

AND THAT'S ABOUT 60 TO 65DB.

AND THEN DRONE TAKE OFF AT 500FT AWAY.

SO IF YOU HAVE A 500 FOOT SETBACK, IT'D BE THE EQUIVALENT OF A DISHWASHER OR NORMAL CONVERSATION.

SO I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME OF THOSE POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND.

SO MOVING ON TO WHAT MUNICIPALITIES CANNOT REGULATE, WE CANNOT REGULATE THE OPERATION OF DRONES.

SO THAT'S ACTUALLY EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED UNDER CHAPTER 423 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

EXCUSE ME, THE GOVERNMENT CODE UNLESS WE'RE USING DRONES FOR A CITY EVENT OR FOR SOME MUNICIPAL PURPOSE, WE CANNOT REGULATE THE OPERATION OF DRONES.

ONCE THEY'RE IN THE AIR, THAT BECOMES A FEDERAL REGULATION UNDER THE FAA.

SO WE CAN'T LIKE I MENTIONED, WE CAN'T IF IT'S OPERATIONAL REGULATIONS, WE CAN'T ENFORCE IT.

SO THE NUMBER OF FLIGHTS, THE FLIGHT PATHS, THE FLIGHT ALTITUDE, FLIGHT SPEED, WE CANNOT REGULATE THAT.

SO IN TERMS OF THE PRIVACY CONCERNS, THERE ARE STATE LAW OFFENSES FOR INVASIVE VIDEO RECORDING THAT'S PUNISHABLE UNDER THE PENAL CODE.

AND THERE'S ALSO CERTAIN MISDEMEANORS FOR INVASIVE VIDEO RECORDING.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. AND THAT'S LIKE I SAID THAT'S FROM THE STATE LEVEL.

SO THERE ARE PENALTIES IF PEOPLE ARE IF, YOU KNOW, IF DRONES ARE BEING USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE DRONES IS THAT USED FOR THIS TYPE OF DELIVERY IS THAT THEY HAVE THEY DO HAVE CAMERAS.

SO THAT QUESTION WILL BE ASKED. THEY DO HAVE CAMERAS, BUT THE CAMERAS ARE USUALLY THEIR NAVIGATIONAL AND FOCUS.

RIGHT. SO THEY DON'T THEY'RE NOT THEY DON'T ZOOM IN AND THEY'RE USUALLY LOW RESOLUTION.

THEY'RE USUALLY USED JUST TO NAVIGATE.

BUT ONCE AGAIN WE CAN'T REGULATE THE OPERATION OF THE DRONE JUST WHERE THEY LAND AND TAKE OFF.

YOU KNOW, ALSO OBVIOUSLY SAFETY AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS AND THE CONTENTS OF DELIVERIES, WE CAN'T, CAN'T REGULATE THAT.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON TO NEXT STEPS? OKAY. AWESOME.

ALRIGHT, SO NEXT STEPS YOU KNOW, SHOULD COUNCIL LIKE TO PURSUE THIS AND THE REASON WHY AND JOHN TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT IS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS COMING FORWARD.

RIGHT. WALMART'S WANTING TO PUSH IT TO ALL THEIR 30 LOCATIONS.

SO THE THOUGHT IS THIS IS KIND OF A NEWER IDEA, A NEW, NEWER PROCESS, NEWER TECHNOLOGY.

THE THOUGHT IS TO KIND OF BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE AND PUT CERTAIN REGULATIONS IN PLACE.

SO THAT WAY WHEN A CURRENT RETAILER OR A FUTURE RETAILER COMES KNOCKING AND ASKING, WE ALREADY HAVE THE REGULATIONS IN PLACE.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THE NOISE AND THE PRIVACY CONCERNS THAT THE RESIDENTS MAY HAVE.

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF MUNICIPALITIES ARE SLOWLY STARTING TO REGULATE WHAT THEY CAN BECAUSE OF THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY.

SO LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEST TO BE PROACTIVE IN MY OPINION AND NOT REACTIVE AND KIND OF YOU KNOW, I KNOW PRINCETON WANTS TO BE A LEADER, AND THIS IS ANOTHER AREA WHERE WE CAN BE A LEADER AND KIND OF SET THE PRECEDENT.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE THIS WOULD REQUIRE A ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE TEXT.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE NOTICE AND PUBLIC HEARING REQUIREMENTS GO BEFORE THE P AND Z AND COUNCIL.

AND DISCUSSING THIS WITH STAFF, THE RECOMMENDATION, YOU KNOW, SHOULD WE KIND OF OBTAIN YOUR, YOUR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BRINGING SOMETHING BACK FOR POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION WOULD BE TO ALLOW COMMERCIAL DRONE DELIVERY HUBS, AND THAT WOULD BE DEFINED WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN THE CITY'S NON RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS ONLY, SO NOT IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS AND ALSO REQUIRE AN SUP.

SOME CITIES ALLOW IT AS A RIGHT.

BUT I THINK YOU KNOW AS THIS IS A NEWER PROCESS HAVING AN SUP TO WHERE THEY HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, EVERY, EVERY RETAILER THAT WANTS TO COME IN AND HAVE A DRONE DELIVERY HUB WOULD HAVE TO REQUEST AN SUP AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

BY DOING THAT, WE WOULD UPDATE THE ZONING USE CHART TO ALLOW COMMERCIAL DELIVERY HUBS AS AN AUTHORIZED ZONING USE CLASSIFICATION, AND ALSO MAKE SURE WE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN UNMANNED OR DRONES AND MANNED OR HELICOPTERS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR HELI

[00:10:07]

SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO THE HELI STOPS ARE PERMITTED OR PERMITTED USE IN YOUR M1 AND M2 DISTRICTS AND VIA SGP IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

CONVENIENCE. LIGHT COMMERCIAL AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL.

AND THEN HELIPORTS ARE ALLOWED VIA SGP AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL, LIGHT MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRIAL.

SO JUST DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE TWO AND MAKING SURE IT'S CLEAR BECAUSE THE QUESTION MAY COME UP IF WE DON'T PASS THIS, YOU KNOW, A DRONE ORDINANCE, CAN THESE RETAILERS PUT IN A DRONE DELIVERY HUB? THE QUESTION THAT, FROM MY OPINION, IS NO, BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN AUTHORIZED USE.

HOWEVER, BECAUSE DRONES ARE STARTING TO BECOME A NEWER TECHNOLOGY, AND EVEN THE FAA, THEY'RE BATTLING WITH SOME OF THEIR REGULATIONS ON DRONES.

THERE COULD BE AN ARGUMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, IT COULD FALL UNDER A HELICOPTER OR HELISTOP.

SO I THINK MAKING SURE OUR ZONING ORDINANCE IS VERY, VERY CLEAR.

AND THAT WAY WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE CERTAIN REGULATIONS FOR THE DRONES WOULD BE IDEAL.

LIKE I SAID, TO TRY TO GET AHEAD OF IT AND NOT BE REACTIVE, BE PROACTIVE.

SO ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

AND I'LL JOHN, I'LL KICK IT BACK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO YOU'RE SAYING THEY WANT TO MOVE TO 30 CITIES? HAVE THEY HAD ANY TEST CITIES, OR ARE THESE THE TEST CITIES? I BELIEVE THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN OPERATION.

THE WAY IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US IS THEY STARTED IN THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS, AND TRIED THAT SUCCESSFULLY WITH, YOU KNOW, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DELIVERIES TO KIND OF PAINT A PICTURE FOR WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE.

BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO IMAGINE HOW THIS WORKS IS, LET'S SAY THE PRINCETON WALMART, AND THEY WOULD HAVE AN AREA X AMOUNT OF FEET, 500FT AWAY FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF COMPANY OVER AND YOU REALIZE I'M OUT OF TORTILLA CHIPS, SOMETHING LIGHT, AND THEY WOULD HAVE A WAY FOR THE DRONE TO PICK THAT UP INTO A CONTAINER AND FLY IT, AND IT DOESN'T LAND.

IT DROPS DOWN AND LETS IT OUT.

SO IT'S A MATTER OF POUNDS.

IT'S NOT A LOT OF WEIGHT.

AND THEN IT WOULD GO AND IT'S LIKE ROUGHLY A MILE ISH RADIUS, SO IT'S FAIRLY LIMITED.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'VE STARTED THAT IN SEVERAL NORTH TEXAS CITIES.

SOME ARE REALLY SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT EMBRACING IT, AND OTHERS ARE A LITTLE MORE CAUTIOUS.

WE WANTED TO GET THIS TOPIC BEFORE YOU BECAUSE WE'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE OF BOTH, RIGHT? IS IT SOMETHING THAT'S NEW AND IT'S DIFFERENT? THERE'S GOING TO BE NOISE INVOLVED, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A VIOLATION OF OUR NOISE ORDINANCE, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT NOISE.

SO IT'S GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO BE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD A DRONE FLY BEFORE, BUT IT KIND OF GETS YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT USED TO HEARING THAT.

IT'S DIFFERENT THAN, SAY, A DISHWASHER.

YOU'RE USED TO THAT. YOU KIND OF DROWN IT OUT.

PROBABLY NOT LOUDER THAN THAT, BUT YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HEAR IT.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'VE KIND OF TALKED TO Y'ALL ABOUT IT'S COMING.

AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO KIND OF GET AHEAD OF THIS A LITTLE BIT.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD FOR GRANT, TOO, AND ACTUALLY A QUESTION WE HAD FROM THE AUDIENCE, WAS ABOUT HOURS OF OPERATION.

CAN WE REGULATE HOW LATE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS DELIVERED? AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN, BUT I THINK THERE'S MAYBE AN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH AN SUP SO WE CAN REGULATE THE HOURS OF OPERATION.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CONDITIONS WITH AN SUP YOU CAN PUT CONDITIONS ON IT.

SO THAT'S ONE THING WE COULD DO JUST SO THERE'S NOT, YOU KNOW, LATE NIGHT DELIVERIES.

WE COULD EVEN LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WEEKEND DELIVERIES, YOU KNOW, ADJUSTING THOSE HOURS FOR WEEKENDS.

BUT THAT IS ONE THING WE CAN CONSIDER BECAUSE I KNOW, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLY, YOU KNOW, NOISE AND PRIVACY, THOSE WOULD BE THE TWO MAIN CONCERNS FROM THE RESIDENTS.

SO EVERYTHING WE CAN DO TO ALLEVIATE THOSE CONCERNS IS WHAT WE WOULD LOOK AT, LOOK TO DO.

SO YEAH. WELL THANK YOU.

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS AND PUSHING THIS TO GET AHEAD OF IT.

RIGHT. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO LEAD THE WAY, THEN LEAD THE WAY IN THE ORDINANCE AS WELL.

COUNCIL, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, WE HAVE STATE HIGHWAY RUNNING THROUGH OUR TOWN.

IS THERE ANY ISSUES WITH HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS NEAR STATE HIGHWAY? I DON'T BELIEVE SO BECAUSE IT'S AERIAL AND AGAIN, IT'S REGULATED BY THE FAA.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONCERN.

AND I ASSUME I MEAN, PLANO HAS VERY SIMILAR ISSUES IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO HIGHWAYS.

YES, SIR. I THINK SOME OF THE CONCERN THAT COULD COME UP, POSSIBLY WITH THE STATE HIGHWAY COMING THROUGH HERE IS, I MEAN, IT IS A NEWER TECHNOLOGY, SOMETHING THAT THIS COMPANY AND JUST SOCIETY AS A WHOLE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET USED TO.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THESE DRONES CARRYING GOODS.

TECHNOLOGY TENDS TO FAIL AT TIMES AND IT CAN TURN VERY DANGEROUS VERY QUICK.

[00:15:06]

AND NOW WE'VE GOT HOWEVER MANY CAR PILE UP.

SO, I THINK THAT'S A MAJOR CONCERN.

AND MAYBE WHERE MR. LONG WAS LEADING WITH THIS QUESTION, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I MEAN, THAT WAS ONE CONCERN.

AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD AND I DON'T KNOW THAT Y'ALL HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT IT'S THIS COULD BE WAY OUT OF LEFT FIELD.

BUT IS THERE DATA THAT SHOWS IS THERE AN UPTICK IN ILLEGAL USE OF FIREARMS WITHIN THE CITY OF THESE THINGS, FLYING OVER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY AND THEM DISCHARGING FIREARMS AT THESE BECAUSE.

RIGHT. I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING AGAIN, THAT'S OUT OF LEFT FIELD.

BUT IT'S THESE ARE, THESE ARE, THIS IS THESE ARE ALL GREAT.

I MEAN, THE FIRST THING THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT, I WOULDN'T SAY WOULDN'T HAPPEN, RIGHT? I MEAN, IF YOU IF THIS THING HAS A FLIGHT PATH GOING OVER SOMETHING WHICH WE CAN'T CONTROL, THE FLIGHT PATH.

RIGHT. BUT CONSIDERING THESE ARE ALL REAL CONCERNS.

RIGHT. AND I WAS THINKING, YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS FIRST CAME UP AND THEY WERE KIND OF EXPLAINING AND I WAS THINKING, WHAT WOULD A YOUNG BRIAN WASHINGTON DO IF THERE WAS A DRONE DELIVERY COMING AND WHAT WERE ALL THE THINGS HE WOULD DO TO TRY TO DOWN THAT DRONE? AND I DIDN'T COME UP WITH A PISTOL, BUT I DID COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS TO TRY TO DO THAT.

THESE ARE THINGS ALL COMMUNITIES ARE KIND OF FACING RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT? AND ANYTIME THERE'S A NEW TECHNOLOGY, THERE'S ALWAYS THIS WHAT HAPPENS IF WHAT HAPPENS IF I THINK THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH TESTS WHERE THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN MITIGATED.

DRONES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE.

THERE'S DRONES IN FIREWORK SHOWS.

WE MAY HAVE ONE IN OUR TOWN ONE DAY, AND AT THIS POINT, THERE REALLY HASN'T BEEN THOSE TYPES OF ISSUES.

DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T HAPPEN.

AS THEY BECOME MORE PREVALENT, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIGURE OUT OTHER WAYS OF BEING DISRUPTIVE.

THAT'S CERTAINLY AN OPTION.

YOU KNOW, AN OBSERVATION THAT'S WORTH LOOKING AT.

I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY OF THAT.

AT SOME POINT THERE'S GOING TO BE A GROUP STANDING BEFORE YOU NEEDING PERMISSION.

AND THOSE AND I WOULD SUSPECT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE ZIP LINE.

I THINK THAT'S THE CONTRACTOR OUR WALMART IS LOOKING AT.

AND WE'VE ASKED VERY SIMILAR QUESTIONS.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY VALID TO TALK TO THEM, TOO, ABOUT THE KIND OF DATA THAT THEY'VE HAD.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE JUST GOING TO WILLY NILLY GO OUT AND START DOING SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN PROVEN, THAT HAS A PROVEN MARKET CONCEPT, AND I'M CERTAINLY CERTAIN THAT THE FAA IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS LIGHTLY.

BUT AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE ALLOWING THOSE USES AND IT'S STARTING WITH WALMART.

PROBABLY AMAZON IS NOT FAR BEHIND.

I WOULD SUSPECT SOME LEVEL OF FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A MEAL DELIVERED IS PROBABLY NOT FAR BEHIND IT, AND THERE MAY BE OTHER USES WE HAVEN'T EVEN CONTEMPLATED, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE I MEAN, WE'RE EXCITED THAT IT'S HAPPENING.

I MEAN, IT'S YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT EFFICIENCY AND SPEED.

IT'S GOING TO BE A MISSION FRIENDLY.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE COST EFFECTIVE.

SO THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS THAT COME WITH IT.

BUT THERE'S ALSO THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING OUR JOB AS STEWARDS OF THIS COMMUNITY, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF OUR PART.

WE'VE KIND OF GONE TO SCHOOL A LITTLE BIT ON SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES.

WE HAVE THE DRONE ORDINANCE FROM, FROM PLANO AS AN EXAMPLE AND KIND OF LOOK THROUGH THAT.

GRANT'S TEAM HAS LOOKED THROUGH THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE IMPROVE ON THIS? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THEY'VE PASSED IT THAT THEY WISH THEY HAD DONE DIFFERENTLY OR INCLUDED? BUT WE DO FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO IT'S STARTING TO RAMP UP A LITTLE BIT.

THE CONVERSATIONS ARE STARTING TO BE A LITTLE MORE PREVALENT.

WE'VE HAD A RECENT REQUEST FROM ZIPLINE TO MEET.

SO WE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GETTING CLOSER TO COMING FORWARD.

AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE HEARD OF THIS, AND YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT, BUT YOU NEED TO HEAR ABOUT IT HERE.

YOU KNOW, IT SAID DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH WING IS THE COMPANY I THINK DOES MOSTLY FOR WALMART.

AND THEY'VE DONE OVER INDICATED OVER 300,000 SUCCESSFUL DELIVERIES.

BUT ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAY BE JUST THE NOVELTY OF IT PEOPLE GETTING SOMETHING DELIVERED.

IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF WALMART, IT'S AROUND $13 PER DELIVERY.

IF YOU'RE A NON MEMBER, IT'S AROUND $20 PER DELIVERY.

I DON'T KNOW IF I JUST WANT MY MEDICATION.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'D BE EASIER TO DRIVE OVER THERE THAN IT WOULD TO HAVE IT DELIVERED.

THOSE ARE THE KIND OF VALUE DECISIONS CONSUMERS ARE GOING TO MAKE ARE GOING TO USE IT.

YEAH. JUST TO SAY THEY'VE USED IT.

AND COUNCILMAN GERFERS, I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN TERMS OF IF A, IF A ENGINE GOES OUT OR A MOTOR GOES OUT, I BELIEVE THAT THOSE, THOSE DRONES HAVE MAYBE EIGHT INDEPENDENTLY OPERATING MOTORS, THEY ONLY NEED TWO TO GET BACK.

SO I DID ASK THAT QUESTION WHEN WE MET WITH THEM.

I'M ALSO VERY CURIOUS.

SO WHEN THE LINE COMES DOWN, I ASKED, WHAT HAPPENS IF I PULL IT? IT DOES DETACH, AND SO THEY MAKE IT AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.

THIS HAS BEEN TESTED IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE MUCH MORE RURAL THAT REQUIRE LIFE SAVING DEVICES.

[00:20:04]

AS JOHN MENTIONED, WE CAN'T CONTROL IT.

IT'S COMING. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'VE THOUGHT THROUGH A LOT OF THIS AND HAVE TESTED IT QUITE A BIT.

ALSO, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD A GREAT IDEA, YOU KNOW, IF THIS WAS DEVELOPED TO, TO AID IN MEDICINE DELIVERY TO PLACES THAT DON'T HAVE ROADS, WHAT COULD WE USE IT FOR? WELL, WE ALL KNOW 380 IS DIFFICULT.

AND SO WHEN YOU HAVE A WRECK AND SOMETHING NEEDS AN AED, FOR INSTANCE, NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED TO THE SCENE WITHIN MINUTES, WE CAN DO THAT.

SO WE'RE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM TO USE THEM IN TERMS OF DELIVERING DEVICES TO PLACES WE CAN'T GET TO IMMEDIATELY.

AND YOU'D BE SHOCKED WE PULLED THE DATA.

IT'S SURPRISINGLY MORE PER MONTH THAN I WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT WE COULD ACTUALLY USE IT.

SO THERE'S A GOOD BENEFIT THAT THAT OUR TEAM WAS VERY PROACTIVE IN IDENTIFYING.

AND WALMART IS INDICATED IN LOCATIONS WHERE THEY HAVE DRONE DELIVERIES, THAT THEIR SALES HAVE GONE UP 20%.

SO THAT'S ALSO KIND OF A POSITIVE IN TERMS OF KEEPING AN ANCHOR IN A COMMUNITY.

AS TO MAKING THEM MORE COMPETITIVE.

WELL, I THINK IT'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT, AND I THINK WE'RE JUST IN A PLACE IN OUR WORLD AND IN OUR SOCIETY.

AND AS TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED THAT WE HAVE TO START ADDRESSING THESE THINGS.

IT'S TECHNOLOGY THAT I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D EVER HAVE.

SO IT KIND OF MAKES ME FEEL OLD ABOUT TECHNOLOGY CREEPING UP ON US.

BUT YOU KNOW, AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN OUR PREVIOUS MEETING.

I THINK WE AS A CITY AND COUNCIL, WE WANT TO BE THE CITY THAT IS CONSTANTLY LEADING THE WAY AND CONSTANTLY HAVING THE BEST IN CLASS.

SO WHILE WE'LL HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE NUANCES OF THIS, AND I APPRECIATE AGAIN YOU GUYS LOOKING THROUGH THE ORDINANCES TO SEE HOW WE CAN BEST KIND OF HONE THAT IN AND PROTECT US AS A MOM. I THINK ABOUT IT AT HOME, AND MAYBE MY LITTLE KIDS SPIKED A FEVER REALLY QUICK, AND WE NEED TYLENOL IMMEDIATELY.

TO HAVE THAT CAPABILITY, TO HAVE SOMETHING DROPPED OFF OR, YOU KNOW, HEAVEN FORBID THERE'S A WRECK ON 380, AND WE NEED THAT AED SERVICE.

I CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF BENEFITS TO THIS.

SO THIS IS EXCITING TO EMBRACE.

VERY GOOD. WELL, AGAIN, THIS WAS DESIGNED TO BE CONVERSATIONAL, NOT MARKED FOR ACTION.

BUT YOU WILL SEE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE'VE HAD A REQUEST FOR ANOTHER MEETING HERE SHORTLY.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND INTEREST.

ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO DISCUSS AND REVIEW AGENDA ITEMS. COUNCIL WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS NEEDED TO DISCUSS TONIGHT? OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIT UNTIL THE REGULAR MEETING? OKAY, IF NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, THAT WILL TAKE US TO EXECUTIVE SESSION UNDER THE TERMS OF CHAPTER FIVE, ONE OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, THE CITY COUNCIL MAY ENTER A CLOSED

TONIGHT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING MORATORIUM ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.

THE TIME IS 5:59 P.M..

THIS WILL PUT US INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

ALL RIGHT. THAT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO OUR PUBLIC APPEARANCE.

[E. PUBLIC APPEARANCE]

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.

IT'S NICE TO HAVE CHRISTINA TODD.

AND IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

KIND OF SHORT. SORRY CHRISTINA TODD, 703 PRAIRIE CREEK DRIVE, PRINCETON, TEXAS.

SO I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE CLERICAL ERROR OR THE TYPO THAT WAS IN LAST WEEK'S MORATORIUM PAPERWORK. WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PEOPLE IN THE AGENDA, WHAT WAS PRESENTED ON THE SLIDES AND WHAT WAS READ FROM HAD A TYPO, AND WHEN I ASKED ABOUT IT TO THE CITY, THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WOULD JUST GET UPDATED, WHICH SETS A PRECEDENT THAT WE THE PEOPLE CAN SEE ONE DOCUMENT, YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER DOCUMENT, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU CAN JUST CHANGE WHAT WE LOOKED AT.

AND THIS WEEK IT WAS JUST A WORD.

BUT NEXT WEEK IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE.

AND THAT IS A POWER THAT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE.

AND GOING FORWARD, I'M ASKING THIS COUNCIL TO ENSURE THAT WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS BROUGHT BEFORE THE PEOPLE AND OWNED IT IS A MISTAKE, BUT YOU CANNOT GO CHANGING DOCUMENTS THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US, EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR A SINGLE WORD.

SO THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DORINDA POWELL.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

DORINDA RANDY POWELL, 11 PRINCETON, TEXAS.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

COUNCIL, FOR THIS TIME TO SPEAK.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE SMART MOVE BY THE CITY TO SET A MORATORIUM ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT. I FEEL I SPEAK FOR THE PRINCETON ISD AS WELL, BEING A RETIRED TEACHER MYSELF.

THIS GIVES THE SCHOOL DISTRICT A CHANCE TO TRY TO CATCH UP AND ON THE SCHOOLS, THE TEACHERS, THE STAFF, BUSSES, EVEN INFRASTRUCTURE. I HOPE THIS HAPPENS SOON.

I IMAGINE IT WILL BE CALM IN THE MEETINGS WHEN YOU'RE NOT SO BUSY APPROVING DEVELOPERS DEVOURING OUR COMMUNITY LAND.

AND THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THE RESIDENTS THAT ALREADY LIVE HERE LIKE MYSELF FOR SO LONG.

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE HAPPENED YEARS AGO, BUT I AM GRATEFUL THAT THE CHANGE IS HAPPENING NOW.

ALSO, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE BUSINESSES RATHER THAN THE ABANDONED APARTMENTS ON 380.

THANK YOU. CLINTON LAWRENCE.

CLINTON LAWRENCE, 1304 EAST COLLEGE.

I WANTED TO ADDRESS MISS GRAVES TONIGHT.

SHE'S NOT HERE, BUT SHE CAN WATCH US LATER.

I COME HERE TONIGHT TO ADDRESS COUNCIL MEMBER MISS GRAVES.

THOSE OF US THAT LIVE IN THE ETJ ARE NOT DEADBEATS LIKE YOU HAVE MADE US OUT TO BE.

[00:30:05]

WHEN WE PURCHASE A WATER METER FROM THE CITY, WE GET CHARGED MORE THAN CITY RESIDENTS, AND SOME OF US DO NOT EVEN REQUIRE WATER OR SEWER SERVICES FROM THE CITY, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE WITHIN ANOTHER WATER DISTRICT AND SOME HAVE THEIR OWN SEPTIC SYSTEMS. ALSO, OUR FIRE SERVICE NEEDS ARE SUBSIDIZED THROUGH THE COUNTY, AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE RESPONDS TO OUR 911 CALLS.

ALSO, THE COUNTY MAINTAINS THE ROADS IN FRONT OF OUR HOMES.

MOST OF US IN THE ETJ SHOP RIGHT HERE IN PRINCETON, WHICH IN RETURN THE CITY RECEIVES OUR SALES TAX DOLLARS.

MANY OF US VOLUNTEER AND SERVE RIGHT HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

MANY OF US HAVE VOLUNTEERED OUR TIME AND SUPPORT TO HELP MOST OF THIS COUNCIL GET ELECTED.

THIS ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION FEE THAT YOU SUGGESTED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE A TAX.

WE WOULD BE CHARGED AS TAX BUT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY VOTING RIGHTS.

THIS IS CALLED TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION AND IT IS HIGHLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

WE ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, LIKE IT OR NOT.

SO MAY I SUGGEST INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PENALIZE US, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY EMBRACING US AND LET US WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A BETTER PRINCETON.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TONIGHT FOR PUBLIC APPEARANCE? OKAY, IF NOT, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.

[F. ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST]

NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN ON ANY ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.

TONIGHT, WE WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THE PRINCETON FIRE DEPARTMENT IS GEARING UP FOR FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, THE SECOND WEEK OF OCTOBER.

THIS YEAR'S THEME IS SMOKE ALARMS MAKE THEM WORK FOR YOU.

ALSO, GET READY FOR A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT FILLED WITH COMMUNITY SPIRIT, FUN AND EXCITEMENT AT OUR STATE OF THE CITY FAIR.

JOIN US HERE AT THE MUNICIPAL CENTER ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER THE 16TH FROM AS WE CELEBRATE OUR VIBRANT CITY WITH FREE FAIR FOOD, FUN GAMES, AND ENGAGING UPDATES, THE FIRST 100 ATTENDEES WILL RECEIVE A FREE CLEAR BAG.

COUNCIL, DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD FOR COMMUNITY INTEREST? OKAY, IF NOT, THEN THAT WILL TAKE US TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[G. CONSENT AGENDA]

THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSIONS OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS A COUNCIL MEMBER, SO REQUESTS IN WHICH EVENT THE ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED ON ITS NORMAL SEQUENCE ON THE AGENDA.

TONIGHT WE'VE GOT G1 ALL THE WAY THROUGH G 18.

THERE ARE NO FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THIS.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME.

YOUR HONOR, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS GIVEN.

OKAY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

CONSENT AGENDA.

THAT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO OUR CEREMONIAL ITEMS TONIGHT.

WE WILL BEGIN WITH H1 2024 200 PROCLAMATION REGARDING SEPTEMBER AS CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF PRINCETON.

[H. CEREMONIAL ITEMS]

WHEREAS CHILDHOOD CANCER IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH BY DISEASE IN CHILDREN, AND WHEREAS 1 IN 285 CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES WILL BE DIAGNOSED BY THEIR 20TH BIRTHDAY.

AND WHEREAS HUNDREDS OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AT THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL, INCLUDING THE AMERICAN CHILDHOOD CANCER ORGANIZATION, ARE HELPING CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND THEIR FAMILIES COPE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL, EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

AND WHEREAS THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 40,000 CHILDREN ON ACTIVE TREATMENT AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AND WHEREAS IN THE LAST 30 YEARS ONLY SIX NEW DRUGS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE FDA TO SPECIFICALLY TREAT CHILDHOOD CANCER.

AND NOW, THEREFORE, I, BRIANA CHACON, MAYOR FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM SEPTEMBER 24TH AS CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.

SO TONIGHT WE DID SOMETHING THIS SEPTEMBER TO RECOGNIZE THIS SO YOU CAN SEE ALL OF US HAVE OUR T SHIRT ON IF ANYBODY WANTS TO STAND UP AND SHOW IT.

[00:35:08]

EVERYBODY CAN NOW.

ALL RIGHT. WE PUT A POST OUT THERE.

SO WE PARTNERED WITH OUR LIBRARY AND WE HAD OUR CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY DRAW WHAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE A GOOD T SHIRT DESIGN OUT OF THOSE DESIGNS.

WE PUT IT OUT THERE AND WE ACTUALLY VOTED AS A COMMUNITY, AND WE HAVE THE WINNER HERE WITH US TONIGHT.

SO WE HAVE ASHLEY T AUGIE, DID I SAY IT CORRECT? YES. AWESOME.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE THEM HERE TONIGHT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THEM.

BECAUSE HOW AWESOME IS IT THAT WE'VE GOT A CHILD WHO THEY THEMSELVES ARE HELPING TO PROMOTE THIS? BECAUSE THESE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL WITH THESE CHILDREN.

RIGHT. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE'LL BE EXPOSED TO.

AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WANT TO GIVE THEM THE CREDIT FOR DOING THIS TONIGHT.

ALSO THE TOUGH LIKE JACK FOUNDATION IS ACTUALLY WHO SPONSORED OUR T SHIRTS TONIGHT.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR DOING THAT.

DID YOUR WIFE MAKE IT? SHE IS NOT HERE. OKAY.

THEY'RE NOT HERE WITH US TONIGHT, BUT WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SAY THANK YOU FOR THEM.

SO, COUNCIL, AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN HERE AND FIST BUMP THIS KIDDO.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN ALSO I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT.

WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE WE HAVE OUR OWN LITTLE HERO HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

HIS NAME IS BECKETT BERG.

HE WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT HERE TONIGHT, BUT HE HAD A THREE AND A HALF YEAR BATTLE WITH CANCER AND HE IS NOW IN REMISSION.

SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED FOR HIM.

IF HE'S WATCHING AT HOME, Y'ALL GO AHEAD AND GIVE HIM A BIG CLAP.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THIS EVENING.

COUNCIL. DID ANYONE NEED TO GO BACK IN OR ARE WE GOOD TO MOVE FORWARD? OKAY, THEN WE WILL SKIP THAT TONIGHT.

SO THERE'S NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN THAT WILL OPEN IT UP FOR OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS.

WE WILL BEGIN WITH K1 ORDINANCE 2024 0923 PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION, SECOND READING AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024

[K. PUBLIC HEARINGS]

ENACTING AND IMPOSING A MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE, AUTHORIZATION AND APPROVALS NECESSARY FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT, CONSISTING OF THE SUBDIVISION PLANNING, CONSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION AND OTHER ALTERATION OR IMPROVEMENT THEREOF FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY'S CORPORATE LIMITS AND EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

[00:40:02]

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL GRANT LOWRY, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON.

SO THIS BEFORE YOU, I'M GOING TO KIND OF ROLL THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, BUT A LOT OF IT IS THE SAME INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED AT LAST MEETINGS, FIRST READING BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

SO LIKE I SAID, I'M GONNA KIND OF ROLL THROUGH IT PRETTY, PRETTY QUICK.

AND PLEASE STOP ME AT ANY TIME IF YOU EVER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

SO NEXT SLIDE.

ALL RIGHT. SO A MORATORIUM IS AUTHORIZED UNDER CHAPTER 212, SUBCHAPTER E OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

ESSENTIALLY, A MORATORIUM STOPS ALL PERMITTING RELATED TO PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.

IT CAN BE COMMERCIAL AND OR RESIDENTIAL FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME.

A MORATORIUM IS LEGALLY JUSTIFIED BY DEMONSTRATING ONE OR BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING ONE A NEED TO PREVENT A SHORTAGE OF ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES.

SO THINK YOUR WATER, WASTEWATER, ROADWAY OR STORM DRAINAGE AND OR A SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR OTHER PUBLIC FACILITIES SUCH AS POLICE OR FIRE.

ONCE AGAIN, THE MORATORIUM ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU IS BEING IS JUSTIFIED BASED ON BOTH THE SHORTAGE OF ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES AND A SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR OTHER PUBLIC FACILITIES.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE CITY, MR. TOMMY MAPP, AND THEN THEREAFTER, THE CHIEF OF POLICE OF THE CITY CHIEF WATERS.

GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL.

TOMMY MAPP, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

SO IN LOOKING AT THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FROM VARIOUS DIFFERENT ANGLES IT BECAME CLEAR THAT WE'RE GROWING MUCH FASTER THAN WAS ANTICIPATED OR PLANNED FOR.

AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND THE IMPACT FEE PLANS THAT WE USE TO BASE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRESSION ON, WERE DESIGNED FOR A MUCH LESS DENSE POPULATION THAN WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW.

AND WHILE THE AREAS OF CULLEOKA DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE SERVICE POPULATION WITHIN THE CITY OF PRINCETON, THEY ARE PUTTING A STRAIN ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE ARE FEELING THAT STRAIN. WE ARE ALSO HAVE A LARGE PUMP STATION PROJECT THAT'S UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED OUR PUMPING CAPACITIES.

WE DO HAVE THE PUMPING CAPACITY TO MEET CURRENT DEMANDS, BUT AS THE AS IT PROGRESSES, THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO BECOME TIGHTER AND TIGHTER.

SO WITH THE MORATORIUM, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BREATHING ROOM, SOME TIME TO REEVALUATE HOW WE'RE GROWING, WHERE WE'RE GROWING, AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW INTO THE FUTURE.

SO BASED ON CURRENT POPULATION COUNTS, WE'RE ESTIMATED TO HIT THAT POPULATION THRESHOLD IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS.

AND SO WHAT WOULD THE MORATORIUM IS GOING TO DELAY SOME OF THE GROWTH, JUST ENOUGH FOR US TO GET THE DESIGN AND, AND EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED FOR OUR STORAGE TANK PROJECTS TO PUSH THOSE OUT SO THAT WE CAN MEET THE FUTURE DEMANDS.

AND IT'S ALSO GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF BREATHING ROOM TO GET A STEP FORWARD ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND OUR IMPACT FEE PROJECTS, WHICH WE'RE ALSO DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW. THE ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALSO FEELING THE STRAIN, AS ANYBODY THAT PASSES THROUGH TOWN CAN TELL YOU 380 AND ALL OF THE ROADWAYS THROUGHOUT THE CITY ARE VERY CONGESTED.

SO WE ARE ALSO LOOKING WITH OUR ENGINEERING TEAM TO REEVALUATE OUR ROADWAY SYSTEM.

WE'RE GOING TO PERFORM A FULL ANALYSIS OF OUR ROADWAYS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR SIDEWALK AND TRAIL GAP.

ANALYSIS OF SAFETY AND MOBILITY IS KEY AND HOW WE GET PEOPLE THROUGH THE TOWN.

AND SO AS WE'RE DEVELOPING THESE PLANS, IF THE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES AT THE RATE THAT IT IS CURRENTLY WE'RE GOING TO BE CONSTANTLY DESIGNING FOR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CHASING.

SO IF WE CAN KIND OF PUSH THAT OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT, IT WILL ALLOW US TO GET AHEAD OF IT.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL PASS IT OFF TO POLICE CHIEF WALTERS.

MADAM. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS.

JAMES WATERS, CHIEF OF POLICE FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THE PURPOSE FOR US, FOR THE MORATORIUM IS TO KIND OF THE SAME THING THAT MR. MAPP STATED WAS ALLOWING US TO BE ABLE TO CATCH UP AND TRY TO GET AHEAD OF IT.

I KNOW WITHIN THIS NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, WE ARE PLANNING ON DOING A FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN OF RESEARCH TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHERE WE NEED TO BE, FIGURE OUT THE GROWTH OF THE

[00:45:01]

SO RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY THESE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WE DO NEED A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN ONE CATCH OUR BREATH.

AND TWO, WITH THE RECENT APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET, HIRING THESE NEW OFFICERS AND ALLOW US TO GET THEM TRAINED AND GET THEM THROUGH A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER TRAINING AND GET THEM OUT ON THE STREETS TO AS WELL.

ALRIGHTY. NEXT SLIDE.

SO, IN ORDER TO LEGALLY ADOPT A MORATORIUM UNDER CHAPTER 212, SUBCHAPTER E, THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

THERE ARE CERTAIN PROCEDURES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED.

SO UP TO THIS POINT WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE FIRST STEP, WHICH IS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH HAS TO BE THE FOURTH DAY BEFORE THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THAT WAS POSTED SEPTEMBER 12TH IN THE PRINCETON HERALD, THE CITY'S OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.

THEREAFTER, ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, THE CITY HELD A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE P AND Z, AND THE P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE MORATORIUM ORDINANCE TO CITY COUNCIL, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL THEREAFTER HAD A PUBLIC HEARING AND FIRST READING ON SEPTEMBER 16TH, WHERE THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE MORATORIUM ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING, SO A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM OCCURS THE FIFTH BUSINESS DAY POST HEARING NOTICE, AND THIS DEADLINE IS IMPOSED BY UNDER STATE LAW. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY CAN SET.

IT IS IT OCCURS AS AN OPERATION OF LAW.

AND IT'S TRIGGERED FROM THAT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE ON SEPTEMBER 12TH.

SO THERE, AS A RESIDENT DID MENTION THERE WAS A A TYPO IN THE PRESENTATION PREVIOUSLY, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THE CITY DOES NOT SET WHEN THE TEMPORARY MORATORIUM BEGINS. AND ALSO THE PRESENTATION ITSELF IS NOT THE LEGAL DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU TO APPROVE TONIGHT.

SO AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, A LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE MORATORIUM HAS NO IMPACT.

SO THE TEMPORARY MORATORIUM, LIKE I SAID, BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, WHICH IS THE FIFTH BUSINESS DAY POST HEARING NOTICE.

AND AT THAT POINT, THE CITY WAS AUTHORIZED TO STOP ACCEPTING PERMITS, AUTHORIZATION AND OTHER APPROVALS.

AND THEN HERE WE ARE AT THE LAST STEP TONIGHT, WHICH IS PUBLIC HEARING, SECOND READING AND POSSIBLE ACTION BEFORE CITY COUNCIL.

AND ALL OF THIS OCCURRED WITHIN 12 DAYS OF THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THE TWO READINGS WERE SEPARATED BY AT LEAST FOUR DAYS, ONCE AGAIN, ALL REQUIRED UNDER STATE LAW.

NEXT SLIDE. SO WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF THE MORATORIUM? ONCE AGAIN THIS IS ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT ONLY.

SO NOT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND WITHIN THE CITY'S CORPORATE LIMITS AND ETJ.

AND THE PURPOSE, AS WAS KIND OF ELABORATED LAST WEEK AND THEN ALSO BY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TOMMY MAPP AND POLICE CHIEF WATERS AS TO KIND OF PLAN, PREPARE AND PROVIDE FOR ORDERLY GROWTH IN THE CITY.

THE CITY HAS BEEN WAS THE THIRD FASTEST GROWING CITY BY THE US CENSUS.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH.

SO I THINK BEING ABLE TO PRESS PAUSE ON THE GROWTH IN ORDER TO ALLOW OUR INFRASTRUCTURE TO CATCH UP WILL HELP THE CITY IN THE SHORT TERM AND ALSO IN THE LONG, LONG, LONG TERM.

SO HOW DO WE DO THAT? WE LOOK AT REVISING OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ZONING ORDINANCES, SUB SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES, AND ALSO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

NEXT SLIDE. SO THE DURATION OF THE MORATORIUM IS 120 DAYS POST ADOPTION.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME FRAME IS SET UNDER STATE LAW AND IT CAN BE EXTENDED THEREAFTER AS LONG AS YOU FALL ONCE AGAIN THE NOTICE AND PUBLIC HEARING REQUIREMENTS AND IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM WHICH YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM WOULD STILL NEED TO EXIST, AND KIND OF DETAIL SOME OF THE PROGRESS THAT THE CITY HAS MADE, AND YOU CAN EXTEND IT THEREAFTER FOR DEFINITE PERIODS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED.

SO THERE ARE TWO THERE'S EXCEPTIONS AND WAIVERS FROM THE MORATORIUM.

THE EXCEPTIONS FALL UNDER THREE CATEGORIES, THE FIRST BEING ONGOING PROJECTS OR PROJECTS IN PROGRESS, WHICH WOULD APPLY TO VALID ACTIVE PERMITS THAT WERE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO WHEN THE TEMPORARY MORATORIUM WENT INTO EFFECT ON THE 19TH OF SEPTEMBER.

ALSO, GRANDFATHERED PROJECTS WITH VESTED RIGHTS OR ENTITLEMENTS UNDER CHAPTER 245 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND EXECUTED AND APPROVED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.

EXCEPTIONS CAN BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED OR DENIED, AND IF THEY ARE DENIED, THEY CAN BE APPEALED TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE CITY HAS PUT THEY HAVE A PAGE ON THEIR WEBSITE.

THAT KIND OF EXPLAINS THE THE MORATORIUM OR ORDERLY GROWTH ORDINANCE, AND ALSO HAS THE LINKS TO THE EXCEPTION FORM AND ALSO THE WAIVER FORM ON THERE AS WELL. SO THERE'S ALSO WAIVERS FROM THE MORATORIUM IF A VALID EXCEPTION DOES NOT APPLY.

AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY CAN REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A WAIVER FROM THE MORATORIUM FOR THEIR CERTAIN PROJECT, BUT THAT PROJECT CANNOT NEGATIVELY

[00:50:02]

AND UNDER STATE LAW, THE COUNCIL MUST VOTE ON THE REQUEST WITHIN TEN DAYS FROM THE DATE THE REQUEST IS RECEIVED.

SO IN SUM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A MORATORIUM TO ALLOW THE CITY TO PLAN, PREPARE AND PROVIDE FOR THE ORDERLY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY AND TO ALLOW ITS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO CATCH UP TO THE UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH THAT THE CITY HAS SEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE, AND THEN THEREAFTER, MADAM MAYOR WILL NEED TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO ALLOW RESIDENTS AND AFFECTED PARTIES AN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WERE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TONIGHT FROM MR. LOWRY? OKAY.

IF NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, AND WE WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE TIME IS 7:04 P.M..

IF YOU ARE HERE TONIGHT FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE MORATORIUM, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND COME UP.

AND SINCE THERE ARE NO PUBLIC, NO ONE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE AT THE TIME IS STILL 7:04 P.M..

COUNCIL, IF THERE IS ANY ACTION TO BE TAKEN ON THIS TONIGHT, I WILL GO AHEAD AND ENTERTAIN THAT MOTION AT THIS TIME.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM K ONE, ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024, DASH ZERO NINE, DASH 23 AND ACTING AND IMPOSING MORATORIUM ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY'S CORPORATE LIMITS AND ETJ.

ON SECOND AND FINAL READING.

THANK YOU. AND DO I HAVE A SECOND ON THAT? I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

APPROVAL OF THE MORATORIUM ORDINANCE 2024 0923.

I'M VERY EXCITED.

YES. STAFF, AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS.

I KNOW THAT THAT WAS NOT AN EASY UNDERTAKING, SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

MR. LOWRY, THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

WE KNOW WE DID NOT MAKE THIS EASY FOR YOU.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND LET'S GIVE THEM A HAND AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. NOW I'M PUMPED UP.

Y'ALL EXCITED.

MOVE ON THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AGENDA.

THAT'LL TAKE US TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEM.

WE WILL GO WITH L1 2024 201 DISCUSSION AND PRESENTATION BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REGARDING RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS.

[L. REGULAR AGENDA]

OKAY. TONIGHT WE HAVE A DISCUSSION.

AND THIS IS JUST MEANT TO BE A DISCUSSION ABOUT NEW GUIDELINES THAT WE WILL START TO DO RESEARCH AND WRITING ON AFTER WE HEAR BACK FROM COUNCIL ON NEW GUIDELINES FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

AND WHY ARE WE HERE? WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WELL, IT IS ONE OF THE STRATEGIC GOALS.

I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY NUMBER FOUR.

AND IT SAYS ENHANCE BUILDING STANDARDS IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF CURRENT STANDARDS AND IMPLEMENT BEST PRACTICES TO ENSURE HIGH QUALITY AND DESIRABLE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THE QUESTION IS WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN? AND SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT INTO A POLICY.

AND SO DURING THE 120 DAYS WE HAVE SOME TIME TO DEVELOP THE POLICY WITH SOME GUIDELINES THAT WE CAN POINT TO FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THIS WILL BE USED AS A TOOL TO COMMUNICATE WITH DEVELOPERS.

IT COULD BE A TOOL THAT THE COUNCIL AND STAFF CAN ALL UNDERSTAND OF.

THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY WE WANT HIGHER QUALITY DEVELOPMENT.

HERE ARE SOME HOUSING TYPES THAT ARE EXISTING.

SO THE DESIGN GUIDELINE OVERVIEW.

THERE'S BASICALLY THREE AREAS OF FOCUS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO NOTE.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE LOT AND THEN THE HOME ITSELF.

SO THIS POLICY CAN ADDRESS ALL THREE.

AND THIS IS FOR WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO COME IN AND THEY HAVE WHAT WOULD BE CALLED AGRICULTURE LAND.

SO WE HAVE AN ENTITLEMENTS MAP ON OUR WEBSITE IF YOU HAVEN'T GONE TO SEE IT, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITING.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT, YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE LAND THAT HAS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS AND ANYTHING IN THE GREEN IS AG ZONING.

SO IF YOU HAVE AN AG ZONING WHERE YOU SEE BALES OF HAY ON PROPERTY AND YOU WANT TO COME IN AND YOU WANT TO DEVELOP THAT LAND, THAT WOULD BE A REZONING.

AND THAT'S WHEN THIS WOULD KICK IN AS SOMETHING TO POINT TO.

WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, WHAT IS THE COUNCIL LOOKING FOR? WE WANT TO REZONE OUR LAND, THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE.

SO WE'VE GOT THESE THREE BUCKETS, SO TO SPEAK.

[00:55:05]

SO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE WALKABILITY, GOOD ACCESS TO AMENITIES.

WE WANT THE LOT SIZES TO BE DIFFERENT SIZES.

WE DON'T WANT A COOKIE CUTTER NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE DON'T WANT A NEIGHBORHOOD OF A LOT OF SMALL HOMES OR A LOT OF SMALL LOTS.

WE WANT A DIVERSIFICATION OF OUR HOUSING STOCK.

ALSO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, OF COURSE, IS PLANNED OPEN SPACE BECAUSE WE KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE PLANNED GREEN OPEN SPACE, IT MAKES A PLACE MORE EXCITING.

SO SOME OF THE AMENITIES ARE NOT ALWAYS A GAZEBO, AN AMENITY CENTER OR SIMPLY A PLAYGROUND.

IT CAN BE WALKING PATHS AND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU DO THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND NOT ALWAYS IN ONE SMALL AREA.

AND THEN WE GET TO THE LOT WHEN WE GET TO THE LOT.

THERE ARE TOOLS THAT WE CAN USE WHEN WE SAY WE WANT HIGHER DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE LOT? WELL, WE CAN LOOK INTO ALLEY DESIGN.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ALLEY DESIGN HERE.

IT CAN BE.

IT'S NOT A GOOD THING. IT'S NOT A BAD THING.

IT'S KIND OF A NEUTRAL THING.

BUT WHEN YOU WANT A GOOD FACADE, WHEN YOU ROLL DOWN THE STREET.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN ACHIEVE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE ALLEYS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FRONT FACADE AND THE GRASS AND THE SIDEWALKS, AND YOU CAN DO DEEP SETBACKS, YOU CAN DO LARGER LOTS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO HAVE DIVERSIFICATION OF HOMES, LOT COVERAGE.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT LOT COVERAGE.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT LOT SIZES AND WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.

LANDSCAPING. WE DO HAVE A LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE AS PART OF A SEPARATE DOCUMENT WE WANT TO BRING FORWARD.

DURING THE 120 DAYS, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR LANDSCAPE POLICY AND TAKE ANOTHER, DEEPER REVIEW.

IT WON'T BE HERE, BUT WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OKAY.

WHEN IT COMES THEN TO THE HOME ITSELF.

SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE LOT.

SO NOW WHEN YOU GET TO THE HOME ITSELF, WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN DO THAT WE CAN WRITE INTO A POLICY THAT SAYS THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN.

THE ARTICULATION AND THE FENESTRATION.

FENESTRATION IS KIND OF A FANCY WORD FOR HOW THE WINDOWS ARE SET INTO THE STRUCTURE.

THE ARTICULATION IS THE FACADE WHERE YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT PEAKS AND THE DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS AS THEY COME AND GO IN THE HOME, WHETHER IT'S SET BACK OR NOT.

OF COURSE, THE REPETITION, YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK ONE BLOCK AND SEE THE HOUSE THAT YOU JUST BOUGHT FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES.

AND OF COURSE, BUILDING MATERIALS.

WE ALL KNOW BY STATE LAW WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DICTATE EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS.

HOWEVER, WE CAN HAVE A POLICY SAYING WHAT WE LIKE, AND WHEN WE WRITE A DEVELOPER AGREEMENT, WE MOST CERTAINLY CAN INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT MATERIALS THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITHIN THE POLICY DOCUMENT.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE CAN USE A WORD MASONRY.

WE CAN GET VERY SPECIFIC ON WHAT MASONRY IS TO US.

SO THE NEXT STEPS THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE COMPLETION OF THIS DRAFT.

AND AGAIN, WHAT I'M BRINGING YOU TONIGHT IS BUZZWORDS AND PICTURES AND IDEAS.

AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT ARE WE ARE WE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE LOT AND THE HOME AND THE DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT WE CAN USE FOR A POLICY. THIS WILL END IN A RESOLUTION.

THIS WILL NOT BE AN ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT WON'T BE LAW, BECAUSE WE CAN'T DICTATE EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS, BUT WE CAN HAVE A POLICY AND WE CAN POINT TO THE POLICY WHEN YOU WANT TO REZONE YOUR LOT.

AND SO IT MAKES IT REALLY CLEAR FOR SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO COME IN AND GET A REZONING HEARING.

SO THE NEXT STEPS P AND Z OF COURSE CONSIDERATION AND THEN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GUIDELINES.

SO WHAT I'D HOPE TO DO TONIGHT IS TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT THE THREE BUCKETS THAT WE DISCUSSED TONIGHT.

I HAVE CRAIG FISHER HERE, OUR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

IF YOU ALL HAVE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CURRENT STATUS AND WHAT WE HAVE.

SO I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU AGAIN.

I LOVE THIS BECAUSE FOR SO LONG WE'VE HEARD THIS FROM OUR RESIDENTS THAT THEY WANT LARGER LOTS.

THEY WANT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HOME HERE, A DIFFERENT HOUSING STOCK.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN PUSHING FOR THIS FOR YEARS.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AND PUTTING THESE IN PLACE THAT WE CAN START THESE CONVERSATIONS.

I'M VERY EXCITED.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

WE HEAR YOU WE FEEL YOU AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH I WILL OPEN IT UP TO YOU GUYS.

ANYTHING TO ADD OR SUGGEST AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE DISCUSSIONS.

WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPMENT INSPECTIONS AND HOW WE PERFORM OUR INSPECTIONS ON HOMES, ARE WE DURING

[01:00:10]

WE MOST CERTAINLY CAN LOOK AT HOW WE ENHANCE OUR INSPECTIONS, AND BASICALLY ALL OF THE CODES CAN GET A LOOK FROM FOUNDATION TO OTHER THINGS THAT ARE INSPECTED.

SO WE WANT TO TAKE A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT ALL OF THE ASPECTS WITHIN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL THAT WE HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS OR JUST COMMENTS ABOUT.

AND THEN I'D ALSO LIKE TO HOPE THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN IT COMES TO THE.

I HEAR SO MANY FOUNDATION PROBLEMS HERE IN PRINCETON.

I MYSELF AM DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT BUILDERS CAN DO TO HELP PROTECT FOUNDATIONS IN THE LONG TERM THAT A LOT OF HOMES ARE BUILT WITHOUT THOSE PROTECTIONS.

SO I WOULD HOPE THAT WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT ENHANCING THOSE.

YES, WE ARE ALREADY IN THE STAGES OF RESEARCH FOR THAT PARTICULAR ITEM.

GREAT. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE WE HEAR ABOUT THAT WAY TOO FREQUENTLY OF THE FOUNDATION ISSUES ON HOMES THAT ARE JUST A FEW YEARS OLD.

IT'S EXTREMELY CONCERNING, SO I'M EAGER TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN COME BACK WITH ON THAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THAT? I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANT.

WE WANT LARGER HOUSES, LARGER LOT LINES.

OKAY. YEAH.

GREATER DIVERSIFICATION OF HOUSING STOCK.

LARGER. LESS DENSITY WITHIN AN ACRE.

I THINK ALL OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BODE WELL IN THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE HAVE VARIETY OF HOUSING OPTIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LIVE HERE.

ANOTHER NOTE I TOOK WAS ALSO FOR THE FINAL LOT GRADING AND DRAINAGE.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO ENHANCE THE STANDARD THE STANDARDIZE HOW MANY INCHES PER FOOT AWAY FROM THE HOME.

THE LOT HAS TO GRADE TO HELP AVOID SOME OF THESE LOTS BEING TOO FLAT.

COLLECTING WATER.

I'M HAPPY TO LOOK INTO ANYTHING THAT WE DISCUSSED TONIGHT.

AND PERHAPS, MAYBE, MR. FISHER, YOU CAN EXPAND ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I KNOW AS A HOMEOWNER, FOR US SPECIFICALLY, IF I'M THINKING ABOUT JUST THE GRADING OF THE LOT IN PREPARATION FOR THE GRADING AND THEN ULTIMATELY PUTTING THE SOD DOWN AS A CITY, DO WE DO ANYTHING TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY CLEANING THOSE LOTS BEFORE THEY'RE PUTTING ANYTHING DOWN? BECAUSE OUR YARD IS NOTHING BUT CONCRETE AND WE CAN'T GROW ANYTHING.

SO IF WE CAN PUT SOME TYPE OF MEASURE IN PLACE THAT WE'RE ENSURING AS THEY'RE GRADING AND THAT THEY'RE ALSO CLEANING THOSE LIGHTS SO THAT HOMEOWNERS ACTUALLY HAVE SOIL UNDERNEATH THEIR SOD THAT'LL GROW.

OKAY. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT UPPING OUR REQUIREMENTS BEFORE SOD IS LAID DOWN.

OUR FINAL INSPECTION DOES LOOK AT THE GRADE OF THE LOT AND TO ENSURE THAT IT'S DESIGNED TO DEGRADE AND THE SOIL MOVES A LOT HERE.

SO THERE ARE CHANGES THAT HAPPEN.

BUT WE I'LL BE HAPPY TO RESEARCH TECHNIQUES THAT CAN BE BETTER, THAT WILL LAST LONGER, AND ENSURING THAT THE GROUND IS CLEAN AND IS ACTUALLY DIRT BEFORE SOD IS PLACED, I THINK IS A FANTASTIC IDEA.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

AND THEN ONE LAST THING.

WE'VE GOT ONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES IN WINCHESTER CROSSING, AND I'M SURE IT'S NOT COMMON, BUT I'VE SEEN IT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES JUST WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, IS THAT THEIR FENCES ARE ACTUALLY BEING BUILT DIRECTLY ON THE PROPERTY LINE, AND THE HOUSES ARE SITTING SO CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE THAT THE FENCES ARE ACTUALLY HAVING TO COME UP TO THE PATIO, ONTO THE BACK PATIO, AND ARE NOW BUTTING UP TO THE HOME FROM THE PATIO.

SO IF WE COULD MAYBE KIND OF LOOK AT THAT IN THE FUTURE AS WELL.

IT'S A HUGE EYESORE FOR DRIVING THROUGH A BRAND NEW NEIGHBORHOOD TO SEE THE FENCES NOW ELEVATED UP ONTO THE BACK PATIO.

IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK INTO.

OKAY. NOTED. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. IF NOT, THEN I GUESS.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE DISCUSSION.

WELL YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO I'LL BRING BACK THIS DISCUSSION, AND I WILL BRING BACK POLICY THAT WE WILL RESEARCH AND WE WILL PUT SOME TEETH BEHIND THIS, AND THEN WE WILL JUST KEEP GOING. AND THEN YOU CAN LET ME KNOW WHEN WE'RE DONE AND THEN WE'LL CODIFY IT.

WE'LL START THE EVOLUTION OF CHANGING THIS.

THERE WE GO. YOU KNOW, THIS CAN ALSO START THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT REGULATORY THINGS THAT WE CAN CHANGE THAT CAN GET SOME TEETH INTO THE POLICY.

SO THIS IS REALLY THE BEGINNING OF KIND OF TURNING THE TIDE.

THAT'S EXCITING. YEAH IT IS EXCITING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THAT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO L TWO ORDINANCE 2024 092302.

[01:05:05]

GOOD EVENING, MR. SABONIS.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS ON YOUR BEHALF TODAY HILLTOP AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, RECEIVED BIDS, COMPETITIVE BIDS FOR THE SALE OF THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

I'VE GOT A SHORT PRESENTATION ON THE RESULTS AND I WANT TO SAY UP FRONT, IT'S AN OUTSTANDING RESULTS.

WE STARTED THIS IN JULY 22ND WHEN I PRESENTED THE PLAN OF FINANCE, WHICH WAS APPROVED.

YOU APPROVED A NOTICE OF INTENT.

AND SINCE THAT TIME, MAYOR, YOU YOUR SENIOR STAFF AT THE CITY, MIKE CHARLES, THEY'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND THE RESULTS ARE TANGIBLE SAVINGS, SIGNIFICANT TAX DOLLARS FOR THE CITIZENS.

SO. WHAT WE HAVE IS THE GOAL WAS TO FUND $20 MILLION OF PROJECTS, STREET AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTING, EQUIPPING A POLICE STATION LIBRARY AND PAY THE COST INVOLVED.

TODAY WE PRICE THE TRANSACTION.

JEFF GOLDBLUM, YOUR BOND COUNCIL IS HERE.

AND IF YOU APPROVE IT TONIGHT, HE'LL SUBMIT IT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT THAT'S JUST AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS.

WE CLOSE IN. THE CITY WILL HAVE ITS FUNDS ON OCTOBER 16TH.

THIS IS A 20 YEAR TRANSACTION, A MATURITY OF FEBRUARY 15TH, 2024.

THESE WILL BE CALLABLE IN ABOUT TEN YEARS, AT WHICH TIME THE INTEREST RATES ARE CONVENIENT.

WILL REFUND THEM FOR SAVINGS.

THIS IS A PLEDGE OF A COMBINATION PLEDGE OF THE AD VALOREM TAX AND A LIMITED PLEDGE OF SURPLUS.

WATER AND SEWER REVENUE SYSTEM.

BUT THE PLAN IS TO PAY THIS BACK WITH AD VALOREM TAXES WITHOUT INCREASING OUR TAX RATE.

AND THE REAL KEY POINT ABOUT THIS IS I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE BIDS RECEIVED AND THE SIGNIFICANT PRICE IMPROVEMENT, SAVING $1.4 MILLION FROM THE PLAN OF FINANCE. AND IT WAS DUE TO TWO REASONS.

THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON WAS THAT THAT THE CITY GOT UPGRADED BY BOTH RATING AGENCIES.

AND DURING THE PROCESS, THERE WAS A STRATEGIC PLANNING DISCUSSION, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS CITY HAS CHANGED SO MUCH.

IT'S IMPROVED IN EVERY ASPECT, BOTH EFFICIENCY TO PRODUCE AND OPERATE AND THE NEW STAFF THAT THEY EMBODIED.

THE RATING AGENCIES FITCH CAME VISITED THE CITY.

I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND AND LISTEN.

AND I TELL YOU, IT WAS STUNNING.

EVEN AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WHO BELIEVES I KNOW YOUR CITY VERY WELL, IT WAS AMAZING TO ME TO SEE THE STRATEGIC PLANS AND GOALS THAT THE CITY HAS AND THEN PUT IN PLACE AND IMPRESSED FITCH BECAUSE WE WERE A AA MINUS CREDIT.

AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH AN ENTIRE REVIEW BASED ON NEW HIGHER CRITERIA.

AND BE HONEST, I'VE TOLD OUR STAFF TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

THIS IS A CHALLENGING TIME.

AND YOU RECEIVED A DOUBLE UPGRADE.

THEY CONFIRMED THAT YOU HAD A DOUBLE A PLUS RATING, AND THAT DOUBLE A+ RATING IS ONLY A SMALL NOTCH FROM A TRIPLE A, AND IT'S VERY POSITIVE.

AND I'LL MENTION A COUPLE POINTS OF IT.

THEN SECONDLY, WE WENT TO S&P AND WE WANTED IT BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE AND THE UPCOMING ISSUES THAT THE CITY HAS.

WE TALKED TO S&P AND AGAIN, SAME STRATEGY AFTER THE SUCCESS OF WORKING WITH FITCH.

WE INVITED S&P AND AGAIN, THE MAYOR LED A PRESENTATION WITH MICHAEL AND CHARLES TO THEM VERY SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVED.

AND WE WERE UPGRADED TO AA.

THAT AA IS AN IMPORTANT RATING BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY WELL RECEIVED IN THE RATINGS.

SO AS A RESULT, WE MOVED UP A RATING CATEGORIES ON BOTH OUR RATING AGENCIES.

AND SO TODAY WE RECEIVED THE COMPETITIVE BIDS.

WE RECEIVED EIGHT BIDS.

AND THE BEST BID WAS PROVIDED BY BOC FINANCIAL SERVICES AT 3.63%.

AND I'M GOING TO HAVE SOME NUMBERS LATER TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH CHEAPER THAT WAS THAN WHAT WE HAD ANTICIPATED.

AND IT SAVES SIGNIFICANT MONEY FOR THE CITY.

THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE REPORT FROM FITCH RATINGS.

AND IN A COUPLE OF POINTS HERE, I COULDN'T HAVE WRITTEN A BETTER RATING REPORT OR MORE POSITIVE IF I DID IT MYSELF.

THE CITY RECEIVED TRIPLE A, STRONG OR STRONGEST ON EVERY INDIVIDUAL CRITERIA WE HAVE HERE.

IN FACT, YOU KNOW, TALKING TO THE RATING ANALYST AFTER THE MEETING, AS THEY DISCUSSED THE PROCESS, THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THE CITY COULD DO.

THIS IS A VERY HIGH RATING FOR THIS SIZE CITY AND AMONG THE HIGHEST HERE IN COLLIN COUNTY.

[01:10:02]

THE NEXT PAGE WE HAVE THE SUMMARY OF THE A RATING.

DOUBLE A RATING FROM S&P.

AND AGAIN ACROSS THE BOARD.

POSITIVE. AND VERY WELL RECEIVED INFORMATION.

YOU KNOW THIS AGAIN. SO WHEN WE HAVE A RATING, IT'S NOT JUST WHAT YOU'RE RATED BUT THE NATURE OF THE RATING REPORT.

WHEN YOU'RE BUYING BONDS INVESTORS LOOK AT THOSE RATING REPORTS AND THERE'S, YOU KNOW, STRONG RATING REPORTS IN THE AA PLUS CATEGORY, YOU KNOW NEUTRAL OR WEAKER.

AND THESE WERE AGAIN VERY POSITIVE.

AND AND AS A RESULT ON THE NEXT PAGE YOU'LL SEE THAT WE RECEIVED EIGHT BIDS.

AND THESE EIGHT BIDS REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF BIDDERS THAT WORK IN THE MUNICIPAL BOND UNDERWRITING FOR OUR TYPES OF ISSUE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

YOU KNOW, IF I WAS LOOKING AT THE USUAL SUSPECTS WHO I'D WANT TO BID ON OUR BONDS, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT DID BID ON THEM.

AND TO GIVE YOU A FEEL THAT WE'RE VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS, BECAUSE WHEN IT CAME TOGETHER, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FINAL TRANSACTION NUMBERS THAT JEFF GOLDBLUM, O'BRIEN COUNCIL HAS PUT IN THE ORDINANCE, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY ISSUING $18,775,000 OF BONDS, WILL ACTUALLY FUND $20 MILLION OF PROJECT FUNDS AND PAY ALL OUR COST OF ISSUANCE BECAUSE THEY'RE PAYING A PREMIUM.

SO THE INTEREST RATES WE PAY ACTUALLY ARE ABOVE MARKET RATE IN ISSUING THAT, WE PAY LESS PRINCIPAL TO DO THAT.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE RATES OUR TRUE INTEREST COST WAS 3.63%.

ON JULY 22ND, I DID A PRESENTATION AND WE WERE ABOUT 59 BASIS POINTS HIGHER IN THAT INTEREST RATE.

YOUR FINANCIAL OFFICER, AFTER THE FED MOVED, ASKED ME TO RUN AN ANALYSIS.

WE DID A DETAILED ANALYSIS TODAY.

AND IN GENERAL, THE FED HAD ANTICIPATED AND, I MEAN, THE MARKET HAD ANTICIPATED RATES WERE MOVING.

AND OUR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE RESULT OF THE FED RATE CUT ONLY ACTUALLY HAD A 24 BASIS POINT IMPROVEMENT IN THE RATES.

THEY CUT 50. BUT AGAIN, IT ONLY AFFECTS THE SHORT SIDE OF THE YIELD CURVE.

AND THE DAY AFTER THE RATE CUT IT STARTED TRADING BACK.

SO WHEN WE BENEFITED BY 50 PLUS BASIS POINTS, IT WAS EASY FOR US TO SAY WHAT IS THE BENEFIT YOU RECEIVE FROM THE UPGRADE VERSUS THE RATING DROP. AND IN GENERAL, IN DOING SOME ANALYSIS AND WITH MY TEAM OF THE $1.4 MILLION LOWER PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST COST, WE WOULD BELIEVE THAT ABOUT 500,000 OF IT WAS BECAUSE OF RATE DECREASES, 900,000 IS BECAUSE YOU WENT TO THE HIGHER RATING CALL RATE CATEGORY, RESULTING IN LOWER RATES. SO, YOU KNOW, THE TREMENDOUS VISION STRATEGY AND HOW YOU'RE OPERATING THE CITY SAVES THE CITIZENS MONEY.

THIS FINAL PAGE I HAVE HERE IS ACTUALLY THE DEBT SERVICE THAT THE CITY HAS OUTSTANDING AND WE'RE ADDING IN THE NEW DEBT SERVICE.

AND I WANT TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF POINTS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

ONE IS THAT IN 2025 IS WHAT OUR CURRENT BUDGET IS BEING PROPOSED.

OUR TAX RATE AT THE CURRENT TAX RATE WILL BE ABLE TO GENERATE THE 7,000,531.

AND IN FACT, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH YOUR FINANCE OFFICER TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE EXACT PAYMENTS THAT WE PROPOSED.

BUT THE KEY PART IS THAT YOU'VE LOOKED FROM THAT YEAR TO THE THIRD ROW DOWN, YOU CAN SEE OUR DEBTS ARE, YOU KNOW, FALLS OVER 2 MILLION.

AND AS OF STRATEGY THAT YOUR FINANCE TEAM HAS PUT IN PLACE.

SO WHEN YOU COME FORWARD THIS COMING YEAR, IF YOU'RE READY TO ISSUE THE BONDS FOR YOUR PARK, THERE WILL BE NO TAX INCREASE.

WE HAVE THE CAPACITY ALREADY BUILT INTO THIS, THIS THIS PLAN.

FINALLY, TONIGHT, THE ORDINANCE TO APPROVE IS ON THE AGENDA.

AFTER YOUR CONSIDERATION, THEY'LL BE SUBMITTED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND WE'LL CLOSE IN OCTOBER 16TH.

AND IN SUMMARY, I CONGRATULATE YOU, MAYOR.

I CONGRATULATE MICHAEL CHARLES AND YOUR ENTIRE MANAGEMENT TEAM.

I'VE WORKED ON A COUPLE THOUSAND BOND ISSUES, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE THAT WAS MORE WELL THOUGHT OF AND PRESENTED BETTER.

I WAS STUNNED. I REMEMBER TELLING MY TEAM THAT THEY HAD TO COME TO THE SECOND ONE TO SEE THE PROFESSIONALS YOU HAVE.

IT RESULTED IN TANGIBLE SAVINGS, AND THE SAVINGS WOULD NOT JUST BE FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY'LL BE FOR THE UPCOMING ISSUES FOR THE PARK BONDS.

AND IN THE FUTURE, WE'LL REFUND OUR EXISTING BONDS FOR LOWER SAVINGS.

SO AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, I CONGRATULATE YOU AND I RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY OR THE COUNCIL HAVE.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR OUR TEAM. I THINK THAT THIS TRULY HIGHLIGHTS THE LEVEL OF EXPERTISE THAT WE HAVE HERE NOW.

AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.

JUST FOR EVERYONE'S JUST KNOWLEDGE IN HOW THIS WORKS, I KNOW WE'VE RECEIVED A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT THE DELAY IN US MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PARKS BONDS AND ISSUING THAT SEO FOR THAT. HOWEVER, THAT WAS ALSO STRATEGIC, RIGHT? SO WAITING FOR THE FEDS TO CUT THOSE RATES, BUT ALSO TO FOR US TO GET THIS BOND UPGRADE.

AND THE RESULT OF THAT IS THAT ACTUALLY SAVED TAXPAYERS ABOUT $1.4 MILLION.

[01:15:02]

SO SOMETIMES IT'S BENEFICIAL TO WAIT FOR THINGS.

SO THIS IS A HUGE WIN.

I'M EXCITED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON IT.

WAS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? YOUR HONOR, THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2020 409 2302, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALES OF COMBINATION TAX AND SURPLUS REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2024.

THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

ORDINANCE 2024 092302.

LET'S GO GET SOME PARKS.

THANK YOU.

DETERMINING COST AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE.

LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE ONE MORE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

AREA NUMBER ONE DIRECTING THE PUBLICATION AND MAILING OF NOTICE OF SUCH PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL JEFF GOLDBLUM WITH MCCALL PARKHURST.

WHERE THE CITY'S BOND COUNCIL.

I APOLOGIZE, MY FOOT FELL ASLEEP WHILE I WAS WALKING UP HERE.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF THESE IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER DISTRICTS.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS.

THIS INVOLVES THE WYNDMOOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

WYNDMOOR WAS CREATED MAY 23RD, 2022.

THIS IS A 427 RESIDENTIAL.

427 ACRE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY BONDS, NOR HAVE WE LEVIED ASSESSMENTS ON WIND MORE.

WE ARE SCHEDULED, ASSUMING EVERYTHING STAYS ON TRACK TO BE BACK BEFORE YOU ON THE 28TH.

TWO LEVY ASSESSMENTS AND SELL BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT IN WYNDMOOR.

LIKE I SAID, THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION BEGINS THE PROCESS TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS.

THEY ARE DESCRIBED IN THE ATTACHED PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT'S PREPARED BY 3360.

THAT'S THE CITY'S ADMINISTRATOR, REPRESENTED TONIGHT BY MITCH MOSESMANN.

THE PRELIMINARY SAP DESCRIBES EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT IN IMPROVEMENT AREA ONE, INCLUDING BUDGETED COSTS AND THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS FOR EACH LOT SIZE.

LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE BACK ON THE 28TH WITH A PUBLIC HEARING AND FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS ASSUMING IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES THIS, WE WILL WORK WITH THE CITY SECRETARY TO GET THE REQUIRED NOTICES PUBLISHED.

ALSO MAILED TO THE LANDOWNERS WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

THIS IS A QUICK SNAPSHOT.

THE SAPS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.

IT'S A VERY COMPLETE DOCUMENT, ALL ABOUT THE ALL ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

AGAIN, WE'RE DEALING WITH ONLY IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE.

THIS IS AN OVERVIEW.

ALL THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BY THE DEVELOPERS BY THE WAY.

THIS IMPROVEMENT AREA WILL HAVE 142 60 FOOT LOTS 28 50 FOOT LOTS.

THIS TABLE ALSO SHOWS THE BUDGETED IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS THE ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT PER LOT, WHICH IS SHOWN THERE IN THE THIRD TO LAST, SORRY, FOURTH TO LAST COLUMN AND THEN AVERAGE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT PER LOT UPON COMPLETION.

AND THE ESTIMATED TAX RATE BASED ON THE FINISHED LOT AND THEN TOTAL BUILD OUT WITH HOMES, ALL UTILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED.

WE ALWAYS LOOK THE GOAL IN THE STATE AND REALLY NATIONWIDE IS AT LEAST A THREE 3 TO 1 VALUE TO LEAN RATIO.

THIS DOES SHOW ALL THOSE WE THE INVESTORS DON'T LOOK REAL FAVORABLY WHEN WE DROP BELOW THREE BASED ON PRELIMINARY NUMBERS.

WE'RE SHOWING THAT WE'VE HIT THAT.

AND THIS SHOWS AGAIN, TOTAL ESTIMATED BUILD OUT AND IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE OF APPROXIMATELY 73.4 MILLION.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THIS EVENING.

COUNCIL. OKAY.

NO QUESTIONS. LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MOTION, PLEASE.

YOUR HONOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 2020 409 20 301.

THAT RESOLUTION THAT IS DETERMINING COST AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE LIVING ASSESSMENTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE WYNDMOOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE.

THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

[01:20:03]

RO2. CONSIDER APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024 0923.

RO TWO. DETERMINING COST AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE.

LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTHRIDGE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

AREA NUMBER TWO.

DIRECTING THE PUBLICATION AND MAILING OF NOTICE OF SUCH HEARINGS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. EXTREMELY.

ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE PRIOR ITEM EXCEPT DEALING.

MOVING ON TO SOUTH RIDGE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AGAIN.

ALL THESE INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DEVELOPERS OF SOUTH RIDGE.

SOUTH RIDGE WAS CREATED 2022.

THIS IS 245 ACRE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE ISSUED BONDS FOR PHASE ONE.

THOSE WERE COMPLETED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, OCTOBER 21ST, 2023.

THIS RESOLUTION MOVES FORWARD WITH LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS MOVING FORWARD WITH THE FINANCING FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO IN SOUTH RIDGE.

AGAIN, LIKE BEFORE, THE PRELIMINARY SAP WHICH IS ATTACHED HAS BEEN PREPARED BY MITCH WITH 3360 THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR.

AGAIN, LIKE WINMORE WILL BE BACK BEFORE THE COUNCIL ON THE 28TH.

WE'LL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE LEVYING OF THE ASSESSMENTS AND CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE FOR COUNCIL'S APPROVAL, SHOULD YOU SO WISH TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS ON IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO, SOUTH RIDGE.

IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO INCLUDES 109 50 FOOT LOTS, 147 40 FOOT LOTS.

THE 50 FOOT LOTS AVERAGE FINISH.

LOT VALUE OF 81,220.

WHILE THE 40 FOOT LOTS HAVE AN AVERAGE COMPLETED HOME VALUE OF 406,000.

40 FOOT LOTS HAVE AN ESTIMATED LOT VALUE OF ALMOST 70,000, WITH COMPLETED ESTIMATED AVERAGE HOME VALUE OF 348,000.

THE TOTAL BUILD OUT OF IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO IS ESTIMATED TO BE A LITTLE OVER 95 MILLION.

AGAIN, THIS TABLE HERE SUMMARIZES THE LOT SIZES.

THE LOT TYPES, COMPLETED HOME VALUES AND ESTIMATED BUILD OUT VALUES.

AGAIN, ON THIS ONE WE SHOW BUILD OUT VALUE TO ASSESSMENT RATIO OF ABOUT NINE.

THE FINISHED LOT VALUE TO ASSESSMENT RATIO IS LESS THAN THE THREE.

I BELIEVE THAT IS GOING TO BE DISCUSSED ON THE 28TH BASED ON NUMBERS WE'RE GETTING FROM DEVELOPERS.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THE DIRECTION IN WHICH WE ARE GOING.

THE PREVIOUS ITEM THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT WAS SOMETHING THAT OUR TEAM WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT RECENTLY, AND ADJUST THOSE LOT SIZES TO BE SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE DIGESTIBLE.

AND WE'VE GOT 50 AND 60 IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW.

STILL HAS A COMBINATION OF 40S, BUT AGAIN, THAT JUST SHOWS OUR TEAM IS WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE NEW SUBDIVISIONS COMING IN ARE WHAT WE WANT.

SO IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS, IF WE COULD GO AHEAD AND GET A MOTION, PLEASE.

YOUR HONOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 202409 230R2, DETERMINING COST AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE.

NORDIC LIVING ASSESSMENTS AND PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTH RIDGE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

2024092302. THAT WILL TAKE US TO 2024092303.

CONSIDER APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 20240923.

RO3. PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE PROJECT PLAN AND FINANCING PLAN FOR REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER SIX, CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS.

CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM RELATES ALSO TO SOUTHRIDGE IN CONNECTION WITH IMPROVEMENT AREA TWO FINANCING.

LIKE SEVERAL OTHER DISTRICTS WITHIN THE CITY.

SOUTHRIDGE DOES CONTAIN A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE THAT OVERLAYS THE DISTRICT, AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE.

LIKE OTHER DISTRICTS, THE PURPOSE OF THE INCREMENTAL TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE IS TO USE THE INCREMENTAL VALUE THAT OCCURS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT TO BUY DOWN THE ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE PAID WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

AGAIN, PURPOSE HERE IS TRYING TO KEEP THE ASSESSMENTS THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE CITY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TIME THEY WERE ISSUED INTEREST RATES AT THE TIME

[01:25:06]

SO MANY OF THESE HAVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THAT WERE ENTERED INTO MANY YEARS AGO.

SOUTHRIDGE. IN THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, CITY HAS AGREED TO USE 45% OF THE INCREMENT GENERATED WITHIN SOUTHRIDGE TO BUY DOWN THOSE ASSESSMENTS. SO IN CONNECTION WITH THE UPCOMING BOND FINANCING, WE DO HAVE TO UPDATE THE TERM PLANS TO REFLECT THE FINANCING THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING.

SO AGAIN THIS IS A PRELIMINARY STEP IN THAT PROCESS.

WE'LL BE BACK IN OCTOBER, BOTH BEFORE THE TOURIST BOARD AS WELL AS THE COUNCIL, WITH THOSE FINAL PLANS REFLECTING THE ACTUAL PRICING.

SOUTHRIDGE, LIKE OTHERS, ALSO INCLUDE SUBZONES TO DEAL WITH EACH PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, REALLY FOR RECORD KEEPING AND PAPERWORK TO MAKE IT EASIER ON THE CITY. SO AGAIN, THIS DEALS ONLY WITH SUBZONE 6.2, WHICH TIES TO IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO.

IN THIS CASE, WE'RE DEALING WITH 256 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

APPROXIMATELY 92.5 MILLION IN INCREMENTAL VALUE IS GOING TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO.

AGAIN, ALL THESE FACTS AND FIGURES ARE COMING FROM THE DEVELOPER'S TEAM, NOT MY OWN.

THE ESTIMATED ANNUAL INCREMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE GENERATED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ABOUT 407,000 ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

LIKE I SAID OF THIS 45%, IT'S ABOUT 183,000 PER YEAR.

IT CAN BE USED TO BUY DOWN THOSE ASSESSMENTS, KEEP THOSE ASSESSMENTS WITHIN LINE OF OTHER LIKE QUALITY DEVELOPMENTS.

AS OF THE LATEST DOCUMENT THAT'S IN YOUR IN YOUR COUNCIL PACKETS.

SO THIS WOULD GENERATE A CREDIT OF ABOUT $614 PER YEAR ON THE 40 FOOT LOTS AND APPROXIMATELY $723 PER YEAR ON THE 50 FOOT LOTS. AGAIN, THIS TABLE SHOWS AVERAGE ESTIMATED COMPLETED HOME VALUE.

THE LOT SIZES AND NUMBERS WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA.

NUMBER TWO.

TOTAL ESTIMATED TAXABLE VALUE WITHIN THIS IMPROVEMENT AREA OF 95.4 MILLION.

AND AGAIN SHOWING THE ANNUAL TURNER INCREMENT THAT'S EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO THE CITY, WHICH AFTER THAT 45% PARTICIPATION IS APPROXIMATELY 224,000 PER YEAR TO THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND.

AGAIN. WE WILL BE BACK BEFORE YOU ON OCTOBER THE 28TH.

LAST SLIDE SHOWS THAT ON THE LIFE OF THESE TWO ZONES, WHICH ARE 30 YEARS, THIS ONE IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE APPROXIMATELY 11.5 MILLION IN TAX INCREMENT REVENUE TO THE CITY. AGAIN, OF THAT, 5.2 MILLION REPRESENTS WHAT IS COMMITTED TO THE BUY DOWNS AS WELL AS PROJECT COSTS FOR THAT.

SO. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. NOTHING FURTHER.

LET'S GET A MOTION GOING.

NOT ALL AT ONCE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2020 409 23.

ALL THREE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE PROJECT PLAN AND FINANCING PLAN FOR REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER SIX, CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS, CALLED FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

OF 20240923R03.

THANK YOU.

IT WILL TAKE US TO L SIX 2024205.

CONSIDER APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE NONSTANDARD WASTEWATER SERVICE AGREEMENT BY BETWEEN THE CITY OF PRINCETON, TEXAS AND S2 LAND DEVELOPMENTS, LLC FOR ARBOR SOUTH AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. SO ITEM L6 IS A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE NONSTANDARD WASTEWATER SERVICE AGREEMENT, OR NSSA, FOR THE ARBOR SOUTH DEVELOPMENT. AS A REMINDER, THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL NSSA WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2023.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WHICH IS ON THAT MAP, I APOLOGIZE.

IT'S KIND OF KIND OF SMALL, BUT IT'S THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE LIME GREEN SECTION.

FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS AND ETJ, BUT WITHIN THE CITY'S WASTEWATER CCN THE ORIGINAL TRACT UNDER THE NSSA THAT WAS APPROVED LAST OCTOBER HAD APPROXIMATELY 29 ACRES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AND IS PART OF THAT NSSA IT HAD IT CALLED FOR A MAXIMUM OF 500 EQUIVALENT SINGLE FAMILY CONNECTIONS.

[01:30:02]

SO THE NEW TRACT IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF THE KIND OF THE ORANGE COLORED LINE.

AND SO ONCE AGAIN, IT'S WITHIN OUR WASTEWATER, CCN SO WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SERVE.

AND ALSO BY ADDING THE ADDITIONAL 44 ACRES, IT DOES NOT INCREASE THE EQUIVALENT SINGLE FAMILY CONNECTIONS THAT WAS ALREADY ALLOCATED AND ACCOUNTED FOR UNDER THE ORIGINAL NSSA.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS FOR ME.

COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT.

IF NO QUESTIONS, LET'S MOVE FORWARD TO THE MOTION, PLEASE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM L6 2024-205.

THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO ROLL CALL VOTE.

APPROVAL OF L6 2024205.

THAT WILL TAKE US TO L7 2024202.

CONSIDER APPROVING A REQUEST FOR ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA AND NOT FOR DISCUSSION OF THESE REQUESTS.

COUNCIL DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TONIGHT TO BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA? ALL RIGHT. IF NOTHING FURTHER, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR REPORT AGENDA.

[M. REPORT AGENDA]

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15TH, 2024 AT 6:30 P.M.

AND THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS FOR WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16TH, 2024 AT 6 P.M..

BEFORE WE ADJOURN COUNCIL, I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND FOR SERVING.

TONIGHT WAS A HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR OUR CITY.

AGAIN, COUNCIL, OUR STAFF.

THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR BEING A PART OF THIS.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR SHOWING UP.

IT'S A GOOD NIGHT. SO THANK YOU.

WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO ADJOURN.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

THANK YOU.
