[J2. 2026-002 Sponsorship of Building Strong Futures at Community Center Hear the presentation, consider, discuss, and act on sponsoring the use of the Steve and Judy Deffibaugh Community Center by "Building Strong Futures" to provide food security, education, and support for the Princeton children and families. ]

USE OF THE STEVE AND JUDY DEFFIBAUGH COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING STRONG FUTURES TO PROVIDE FOOD SECURITY, EDUCATION, AND SUPPORT OF THE PRINCETON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU WITH TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BUILDING STRONG FUTURES PROGRAM.

[00:15:03]

MY NAME IS AMY LAWRENCE, AND I'M THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS AT THE TURNING POINT RAPE CRISIS CENTER.

WE SERVE SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND COLLIN COUNTY AND ALL OF COLLIN COUNTY, IN PART OF DALLAS COUNTY.

PART OF OUR CORE MISSION IS TO WORK TO PREVENT VIOLENCE.

AND AS PART OF THAT, THIS PAST YEAR, WE WERE AWARDED THE COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANT FROM TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CITY OF, WELL, THE ZIP CODE OF PRINCETON. SO PRINCETON RESIDENTS AND THOSE LIVING IN THE ZIP CODE FOR OUR PROGRAM TO HELP PREVENT VIOLENCE AND PROVIDE SUPPORT TO FAMILIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING, MAYBE ECONOMICALLY WITH FOOD SUPPORT AND GENERAL ALL AROUND KIND OF RESILIENCE FOR CHILDREN AS WELL AS FOR PARENTS.

IS THERE IS? THIS THE? OKAY, SO AS I MENTIONED, THIS WAS AWARDED BY TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES AS PART OF THEIR COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANT.

OUR PARTNERS ON THIS PROJECT ARE THE SAMARITAN INN IT.

THEY WERE ABSORBED OR THEY ABSORBED COMMUNITY LIFELINE CENTER OF MCKINNEY, WHICH WAS A FOOD THEY PROVIDED OUR FOOD SECURITY FOR OUR FAMILIES.

AND OUR OTHER PARTNER ON THIS PROJECT IS DESTINY'S LEADERS, WHICH IS A MENTORSHIP PROGRAM FOR YOUNG.

I WOULD SAY. PROBABLY MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL AGE YOUTH.

AND SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS FOR TO ENHANCE WELL-BEING, RESILIENCE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN PRINCETON ADDRESSING, YOU KNOW, FOOD SECURITY SUPPORT, RESILIENCE TRAINING AND HEALTH EDUCATION, ULTIMATELY TO INCREASE OVERALL HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DECREASE COMMUNITY VIOLENCE.

SO OUR PROGRAM INVOLVES A SIX-WEEK WORKSHOP SERIES FOR BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

WITH THAT, WE PROVIDE A WEEKLY FOOD DISTRIBUTION TO FAMILIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM.

IN ADDITION, WE HOST TWO ANNUAL OR TWO HEALTH FAIRS EACH YEAR.

COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS, BRINGING IN A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND INFORMATION.

REGISTERING PEOPLE FOR HELPING TO REGISTER FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS MEDICARE OR MEDICAID AND JUST TRYING TO HELP IMPROVE THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE DO PROVIDE SOME OUTREACH. ONE OF THE RESILIENCE FACTORS THAT FOR PREVENTING VIOLENCE INCLUDES COMMUNITY CONNECTEDNESS.

SO THAT'S PART OF OUR GOAL IS TO HELP FOSTER COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND CONNECTEDNESS AMONG FAMILIES HERE.

AND THEN AFTER FAMILIES HAVE COMPLETED THE SIX-WEEK WORKSHOP SERIES, WE'LL HAVE MONTHLY ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES ONCE A MONTH FOR THOSE CHILDREN WHO'VE WHO'VE GONE THROUGH AS WELL AS PEER SUPPORT GROUPS FOR ADULTS.

SO OUR PROGRAM, ANYONE IS ELIGIBLE SO LONG AS THEY LIVE IN THE ZIP CODE 75407.

A PARENT AND CHILD MUST ENROLL TOGETHER AND THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING.

SO THEY CAN QUALIFY EITHER BECAUSE OF SNAP, FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH, MEDICAID OR BE IN FAMILY CRISIS, OR IF THEY DON'T MEET ANY OF THOSE CRITERIAS, IF THEY HAVE SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY WHO HAS EXPERIENCED FAMILY OR INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE, THAT THOSE ARE THE TWO QUALIFYING FACTORS. SO HERE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR WORKSHOP CURRICULUM.

SO AS I MENTIONED THE TURNING POINT IS THE LEAD AGENCY ON THIS.

WE PROVIDE FREE TRAUMA COUNSELING FOR SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ACROSS THE COUNTY.

AND SO ONE OF OUR, OUR THERAPISTS ACTUALLY LEADS THE ADULT SECTION, PARTICULARLY ON TRAUMA AND RESILIENCE AND HELPING INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND KIND OF THE IMPACT OF MAYBE ADVERSE EXPERIENCES THAT THEY HAVE HAD EITHER AS A CHILD OR AS AN ADULT, AND HOW THAT. HOW THEY CAN COPE AND BUILD RESILIENCE WITH THAT TO HELP STRENGTHEN THEIR FAMILY OVERALL.

OUR PARTNER, DESTINY'S LEADERS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THAT ORGANIZATION IS A NURSE, AND SO SHE PROVIDES HEALTH LITERACY.

WE TALK A LOT ABOUT FAMILY DYNAMICS, ABOUT COMMUNICATION, ABOUT HOW TO STRENGTHEN THOSE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN ON IN COMMUNICATION ON AN AGE APPROPRIATE LEVEL. WE HAVE A SESSION ON FINANCIAL LITERACY, ON GOAL SETTING, BECAUSE THE PREMISE OF OUR CURRICULUM IS LARGELY BASED ON HOPE THEORY, WHICH IS BASICALLY INDIVIDUAL'S BELIEF THAT TOMORROW IS

[00:20:04]

GOING TO BE BETTER THAN TODAY AND THAT THEY HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE IT SO.

AND SO WE DO A LOT WITH GOAL SETTING BECAUSE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT BACKS THIS APPROACH IN TERMS OF POSITIVE IMPACT AND THEN RESILIENCE PLANNING, KNOWING HOW TO GET SUPPORT, HOW TO REACH OUT, HOW TO CREATE A COMMUNITY PLAN THAT CARRIES PARENTS THROUGH, ESPECIALLY DURING A TIME WHEN YOU KNOW THERE MAY BE ECONOMIC CHALLENGES, JOB CHALLENGES, ETC.

SO OUR YOUTH PROGRAM KIND OF MIRRORS THE PARENT PROGRAM AT AN AGE APPROPRIATE LEVEL.

A LOT ABOUT HEALTHY COMMUNICATION, ABOUT BEING A GOOD FRIEND, HEALTHY BOUNDARIES A LITTLE BIT OF FINANCIAL LITERACY AND GOAL SETTING AND, YOU KNOW, BRINGING FAMILIES TOGETHER TO STRENGTHEN THEM AS A MEANS TO HELP JUST INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY AND BUFFER AGAINST VIOLENCE THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY OR THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN THE FUTURE TO GIVE THEM THE SKILLS TO TO BE RESILIENT, TO OVERCOME THAT. SO, SO FAR WE AND THIS WAS AT THE END OF THIS PAST YEAR.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER NOW. WE'VE DISTRIBUTED 108 FOOD BOXES TO FAMILIES.

WE HAVE ENGAGED 41 CHILDREN AND 18 PARENTS, AND WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING UP UNTIL THIS POINT, PRIMARILY IN THE LIBRARY. IT IS NOT IT HAS BEEN SUCH A GENEROUS SPACE AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE IT, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN IDEAL FOR THE KIND OF WORK WE'RE DOING.

IT'S VERY SMALL. THERE IS NOT SPACE TO SEPARATE REALLY PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

AND WHILE THE PARENTS AREN'T NECESSARILY TALKING ABOUT EXTREMELY SENSITIVE THINGS, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR STRUGGLES OR WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO.

AND A LOT OF THEM AREN'T COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SHARING WHEN THEY'VE GOT THEIR KIDDOS KIND OF RIGHT NEXT TO THEM OR RUNNING AROUND.

AND SO BECAUSE OF THIS AND IT'S ONLY OPEN ON UP TILL ABOUT 6:45.

SO THE TIME ISN'T ISN'T IDEAL FOR A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES WHO MAY BE GETTING OFF OF WORK AND TRYING TO GET THERE LATE.

SO OUR PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE BUILT A STRONG FOUNDATION, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAT WE COULD DO TO HELP SUPPORT THE FAMILIES OF PRINCETON. THIS IS A COMPLETELY FREE PROGRAM.

IF WE HAD A BETTER VENUE SPACE. AND SO THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE COME FORWARD TO SEE IF WE COULD ARRANGE SOMETHING TO REGULARLY USE THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER SPACE.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS ONE EVENING A WEEK, AROUND TWO HOURS IT WOULD HOST APPROXIMATELY 12 FAMILIES IF POSSIBLE, BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE VENUE SPACE HAS BEEN CHALLENGING.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY IS NOT OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS.

WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR MONTHLY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM.

AND SO ONE SATURDAY A MONTH FROM 10:00 TO 1:00.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A HEALTH FAIR SCHEDULED IN OCTOBER THAT WE HAD TO CANCEL BECAUSE OF RAIN.

SO WE HAD A SPACE AT THE, AT THE COMMUNITY PARK.

SO JUST AS AN INDOOR OPTION IN THE EVENT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER TWO TIMES A YEAR.

SO ULTIMATELY, WE'RE HOPING TO TO PARTNER WITH YOU TO COLLABORATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A SPACE TO NURTURE THIS PROGRAM AND BRING AWARENESS TO THE FAMILIES ABOUT THIS FREE RESOURCE.

AND THESE ARE JUST A COUPLE PICTURES. AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE BEEN LARGELY IN THE LIBRARY, SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF PICTURES FROM THERE OF SOME OF THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED.

AND THIS IS ONE OF OUR AUGUST COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR, WHICH ACTUALLY WAS LOVELY.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PARK HAD JUST GONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION THE WEEK BEFORE, AND SO THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH.

THERE WAS PROBABLY A LOT MORE TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HAD IF IT WASN'T UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

BUT IT WAS LOVELY WEATHER AND WE HAD HAD A NICE TURNOUT.

AND SO WE ARE HOPING TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS NEXT YEAR AS, AS EVEN STRONGER.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL FOR ME, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. THIS I THINK IT'S AWESOME BY THE WAY.

SO I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND I LOVE THE PROGRAM.

YOU WON EVEN A WEEK. HOW? IT'S A SIX-WEEK WORKSHOP SESSION.

BUT IS THIS ALL YEAR LONG? OKAY. YES. SO IT'S ON A ROLLING BASIS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALIZED AFTER DOING THIS IS THAT FAMILIES ARE MANAGING SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.

[00:25:02]

IF YOU'VE GOT CHILDREN YOURSELVES, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN SICKNESS AND DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT SOMETIMES IT IS IS CHALLENGING FOR PARENTS TO COME CONSECUTIVE SIX-WEEKS. AND SO WE STARTED OPERATING ON A ROLLING BASIS.

AND BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO START THE MONTHLY ENRICHMENT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME FAMILIES THAT HAVE ATTENDED 14, 16 SESSIONS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE CRAVING THAT COMMUNITY AND THEY'VE KIND OF BUILT IT THERE.

SO THAT DOES GO KIND OF THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON A ROLLING BASIS.

OKAY NOW, THE SATURDAYS, IT'S ONLY ONE SATURDAY A MONTH.

IS THE MEALS ON WHEELS FOR THE ELDERLY. RIGHT NOW, ISN'T THAT BEING AT THE AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR? IT HAS NOT MOVED BACK YET TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER OKAY. JUST ONE QUESTION. I MEAN, JUST ONE COMMENT BEFORE WE GO FORWARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE NOTE THAT MR. THORNTON DID ARRIVE AT 6:54 P.M.

SO HE IS PRESENT AT 6:54 P.M. OKAY. GO AHEAD.

OBVIOUSLY THE COMMUNITY CENTER HAS JUST BEEN REOPENED, SO IT'S NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SUPER BOOKED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT MY I'M TRYING TO THINK IF WE DID MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, THEN, THEN SHE WOULD WORK WITH PARKS TO GET EVERYTHING SCHEDULED ALL THE TIME? WELL, YEAH, WHAT THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO DO IS IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AND YOU LIKE IT, YOU WANT TO SPONSOR THEIR USE OF THE CENTER, THEN I WOULD ASK YOU TO GET A MORE PRECISE SCHEDULE, AND THEN WE'D HAVE TO GO WITH OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT AND GET IT RESERVED IN ADVANCE SO WE CAN BLOCK OUT THOSE TIMES. PREFERABLY AVOIDING FRIDAYS AND AS MANY WEEKENDS AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE REVENUE DATES, QUITE HONESTLY. AND WE JUST SPENT OVER A HALF $1 MILLION RENOVATING IT.

AND SO WE TRY TO BRING A LITTLE SOMETHING IN BUT A WEEK EVENING FOR A COUPLE HOURS I DON'T THINK WOULD INTERFERE.

YEAH, THAT WAS GOING TO BE. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND PRESENTING.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS STUFF WAS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. SO Y'ALL ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB SO.

NED THAT THE ONLY THING, THE ONLY CONFLICT THAT I SEE IS SATURDAY'S THE 10 TO 1, JUST BECAUSE THAT IS GOING TO BE A PRIME TIME FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES BABY SHOWERS, I MEAN, ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

SO MY ONLY RESERVATION WOULD BE THE SATURDAY FROM 10:00 TO 1:00.

AND THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT BEHIND IT THE WEEKDAYS.

I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL. THE 6:00 TO, YOU KNOW WHATEVER TIME YOU ALL NEED IT TO, IT IS JUST THE ONLY CONCERN. I KNOW WEEKENDS ARE GOING TO BE A HUGE BOOKING DAY JUST FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS.

SO THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY PAUSE FOR THE SATURDAYS FROM 10:00 TO 1:00.

AND GRANT JUST REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING IN THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.

THE CITY IS. THE CITIES. THE PARKS DEPARTMENT'S MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION IS BASICALLY MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, SO THERE WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADDITIONAL COST TO US.

WE HAD TO CLEAN UP. WE MAY VERY WELL NOT NEED TO CLEAN UP ANYTHING.

SO THERE MAY NOT BE AN EXPENSE. BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK IF.

IF WE GET IT SCHEDULED IN ADVANCE, PARTICULARLY THE WEEKDAYS EVEN YOU SAID ONE SATURDAY A MONTH? AND IT'S IN THE MORNING? I MEAN WE'RE VERY FLEXIBLE.

SO IT REALLY ESPECIALLY ON THOSE WEEKEND DAYS, THERE'S JUST NOT.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES WHENEVER AFTER THAT I THINK IT'S MANAGEABLE.

YEAH SO 9:00 TO 11:00 WOULD DEFINITELY BE WORKABLE.

AND IT IS FOR FAMILIES AND YOUTH. AND I KNOW SOMETIMES STRUGGLING TO GET OUT THE DOOR BY 08:00 IT'S HARD FOR ME TO GET OUT THE DOOR. [LAUGHTER] SO I HEAR YOU, AMY, CAN YOU GIVE THE FACTS THAT YOU GAVE ME ABOUT WHY PRINCETON WAS CHOSEN? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES, THEY DO AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY HEALTH. A CHNA COMMUNITY HEALTH.

I'M FORGETTING WHAT THE TWO OTHER ACRONYMS STAND FOR.

BUT THEY DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE COUNTY TO LOOK AT THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS OF THE COUNTY THAT HAVE FACED.

COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. NEEDS ASSESSMENT [LAUGHTER]. AND SO BASED ON WHAT THEY WOULD CALL ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, ACCESS TO FOOD WHAT THEY CONSIDER KIND OF THOSE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITIES.

[00:30:01]

AND SO FOR CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THAT FACE CHALLENGES, MAYBE IT'S ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE OR CERTAIN LEVELS OF CHRONIC DISEASE THEY SELECTED.

AND SO THEY PROVIDE THESE COMMUNITY GRANTS TO HELP IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THOSE OF THOSE AREAS.

AND SO THEY PUT THAT OUT IN. IN A GRANT REPORT.

AND SO, OR IN A GRANT THAT THEY, THEY PUT OUT THAT AGENCIES CAN, CAN BID ON, ON PROGRAMS. AND SO THEY SELECTED THIS PAST YEAR THEY HAD LIKE AN EAST MCKINNEY AND EAST PLANO, AND THEN THEY ADDED PRINCETON AS ONE OF THOSE AREAS, LARGELY BECAUSE I THINK FOOD SECURITY, HEALTH ACCESS WERE TWO BIG ONES.

OBVIOUSLY WITH THE, THE CHALLENGE OF TRANSPORTATION AND ACCESS FOR THAT.

SO PRINCETON WAS SELECTED AND THEN FARMERSVILLE.

AND SO FOR US AT THE TURNING POINT, I LOVE TO DIG INTO THE DATA.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY SURPRISED ME WHEN I STARTED ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO WAS THE HIGHER RATES THAT OBVIOUSLY WORKING AT A RAPE CRISIS CENTER AT THE HIGHER RATES THAT PRINCETON HAD RELATIVE TO SOME OF THE OTHER SIZE CITIES.

AND SO NOT KNOWING THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO INTO THAT, IT JUST MADE A LOT OF SENSE WHEN THIS CAME OUT IN PRINCETON THAT THERE WAS WORK TO BE DONE TO HELP SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY AND LOOKING KIND OF LONG TERM WITH THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS AND WITH SO MANY RESIDENTS MOVING IN, KIND OF CREATING THAT, THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY NONPROFIT INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT JUST THAT PRESENCE HERE.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE WE'VE FOUND IS THAT THERE THAT KIND OF SOCIAL SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS HAS BEEN MORE LIMITED HERE.

AND SO THOSE WERE A COUPLE OF THE REASONS WHY PRINCETON WAS SELECTED.

DO PEOPLE. FORGIVE ME IF YOU SAID, DO THEY GRADUATE FROM THIS PROGRAM? BUT THEN YOU SAID THEY CAN KEEP COMING BACK ON A MONTHLY BASIS, SO THEY GRADUATE FROM THE SIX-WEEK COURSE AND THEN THEY DO THE MONTHLY ENRICHMENT? THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT WAS DESIGNED. THE REALITY HAS BEEN THAT WE HAVEN'T STARTED THE MONTHLY ENRICHMENT, IN LARGE PART BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD A VENUE SPACE.

OKAY. AND SO TO KIND OF MAINTAIN THAT, WE'VE BEEN FINE WITH THEM JUST SO MUCH AS THEY HAVE WANTED, WE'RE KIND OF TRYING TO MEET FAMILIES WHERE THEY'RE AT, AND IF THEY WANT TO KEEP PARTICIPATING ALL THE MORE, IT ENABLES THEM TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T HURT TO KEEP REVIEWING SOME OF THE TOPICS AND THE WORK WITH OUR FAMILIES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH. LIKE I. SO IS THIS SOMETHING? MY ONLY CONCERN IS LIKE. AND IS THE SATURDAY MONTHLY.

I AGREE WITH JIM. I THINK IF WE CAN BUMP THE TIME UP A LITTLE BIT, I THINK WE COULD ACCOMMODATE THAT.

I DO WANT TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE FOR, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY AND LARGE TO BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF VENUES IN PRINCETON, AS YOU CAN SEE. SO ONCE THAT ONE IS OPEN, IT'S GOING TO BE A HOT TOPIC TO GRAB AND USE AND RENT AND ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS.

SO I DO WANT TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE, BUT I DO ALSO WANT TO HELP THE COMMUNITY OUT IN THE HOLE IN THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU ALL ARE OFFERING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK IF THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF ADJUSTMENT ON TIME ON SATURDAY WHAT TIME WERE YOU REQUESTING INITIALLY ON YOUR SLIDE? I'M SORRY, I HAD 10:00 TO 1:00 INITIALLY. 10:00 TO 1:00.

SO YOU NEED THREE HOURS? THAT'S IDEAL. YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO PROVIDE LUNCH.

YOU WANT TO HELP. YEAH. BUILD KIND OF THAT SENSE OF CAMARADERIE WAS THE IDEA.

IS THERE WAS THAT BECAUSE SHE TRIED. AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE, LIKE $10,000.

THIS IS A NONPROFIT. THEY DON'T HAVE THAT TYPE OF MONEY.

SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED HER TO COME TO Y'ALL TO SPEAK SO WE COULD USE IT.

I UNDERSTAND THIS HORARY THING, SO IF IT CAN COME EARLY UP, BUT MAYBE WE COULD ALSO MAYBE STILL ALTERNATE WITH THE LIBRARY.

YEAH. AND THEN ON SATURDAYS THAT'S RIGHT SO. YEAH. WE CAN FIND SOME OTHER SPOTS, BUT AT LEAST WE CAN GET THEM STARTED ON THEIR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AND THEN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE BEST OPTION FOR SATURDAYS IF WE DO GET A PAYING THING.

SO RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT EVEN OFFICIALLY OPEN, BUT MAYBE WE CAN FIND ANOTHER SPOT IF WE GET A PAYING GIG ON THOSE SATURDAYS.

AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT. I MEAN, WHAT YOU COULD DO IS, IF THE BOARD PLEASES, IS VOTE TO SPONSOR, ALLOWING THEM TO USE THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND JUST DIRECT STAFF TO WORK OUT AN APPROPRIATE SCHEDULE WITH THEM AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK IF WE COULD LOOK AT I KNOW 8:00 IS NOT IDEAL, BUT I THINK IF WE CAN LOOK TO SCHEDULE THAT 8:00 TO 11:00,

[00:35:08]

I THINK THAT COULD GIVE YOU ALL SOME CONSISTENT TIME.

I KNOW IT'S NOT IDEAL, BUT IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING.

AND, JIM, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY IF THERE ISN'T ANY BOOKING, WE CAN LET HER KNOW AND SAY, HEY, THERE'S NOTHING. YOU CAN DO 10:00 TO 1:00.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH AND WE TRY TO GET SOMETHING CONSISTENT SINCE IT'S GOING TO BE LONG TERM.

I'M JUST TRYING TO WORK OUT A SITUATION WHERE YOU ALL HAVE ACCESS TO IT, BUT WE ALSO LEAVE ACCESS FOR THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY WHO MAY NEED TO USE IT AS WELL.

SO I'M FINE WITH THE ONCE A MONTH. JUST IF WE BUMP THE TIME UP.

AND I THINK THAT THAT'S A GOOD MEETING POINT FOR EVERYBODY WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN SAY WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL SIDES.

SO ONE THING I WANTED TO BRING OUT TOO IS THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR IT'S USED AS A WARMING SHELTER AS WELL.

SO THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH LIKE ANY IMMEDIATE.

YEAH, IT WILL BE A WARMING SHELTER THIS WEEKEND.

BUT I ASSUME YOU DON'T PLAN ON USING IT THAT QUICKLY ON A WEEKEND, BUT THERE COULD BE OTHERS.

IT IS AN EMERGENCY. WE HAVE A HARD PLUMBED GAS GENERATOR ON THAT BUILDING.

SO IT'S ONE BUILDING THAT WE KNOW WILL HAVE HEAT TOO.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL JUST HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK OUT IF WE'RE SEEING ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SNAPS COME IN.

WE MAY HAVE TO SCHEDULE SOMETHING. NO AND WE'RE COMPLETELY FLEXIBLE AND OPEN.

WE'RE JUST THRILLED AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SPACE TO REALLY GET THE WORD OUT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONSIDERING AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE.

I'M MORE THAN HAPPY. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND PRESENTING.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FROM US? MOTION SECOND AND A VOTE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS PROGRAM AND HAVE IT TO BE IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

[J3. 2026-003 Amended Community Center Agreement Consider, discuss, and act on approving the amendment to the Community Center Management Agreement. ]

CONSIDER, DISCUSS AND ACT ON APPROVING THE AMENDMENT.

THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.

OKAY, MR. CHAIR AND BOARD YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THIS DOCUMENT.

IT WENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THERE WERE SOME CHANGES REQUESTED, WHICH I'M GOING TO HAND OVER TO GRANT TO EXPLAIN TO YOU.

AND SO IT HAS TO COME BACK TO YOU FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION.

OKAY. YEP. GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

SO, YEAH, AS JIM STATED, YOU GUYS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THIS. THE ONLY MATERIAL CHANGE THAT COUNCIL RECOMMENDED WHEN IT WENT TO THEM BACK IN NOVEMBER IS IT'S GOING TO BE THE SECTION 6.10 AND IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN YOUR PACKET.

IT JUST CALLS COUNCIL DESIRED A MORE ROBUST CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROVISION.

PREVIOUSLY IT JUST HAD KIND OF VERY SIMPLE MEDIATION AND LITIGATION.

IN THE INSTANCE, THERE'S ANY DISPUTE OVER USE OF THE CENTER, FEES, ETC.

ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THE AGREEMENT. BUT NOW IT REQUIRES KIND OF GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS THEN MEDIATION, THEN LITIGATION, JUST TO HELP THE PARTIES COOPERATE AND WORK THROUGH ANY CONFLICT OR DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY MATERIAL EDIT AND JUST NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE.

THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT MY IDEA. JUST LET ME RESOLVE ALL CONFLICT.

SO I. YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS.

[LAUGHTER]. GOTCHA. CAN WE GET A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.

SWAT VEHICLE. HEAR PRESENTATION, CONSIDER, DISCUSS AND ACT ON A REQUEST FROM THE PRINCETON POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE FUNDING OF A SPECIALIZED SWAT VEHICLE.

TELL YOU WHAT. AFTER GETTING TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT IT, TALK ABOUT BURYING THE LEAD. [LAUGHTER].

OKAY. NEWLY ELECTED CHAIR. VICE CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS.

MR. WEHMEIER, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME OUT AGAIN.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO TALK IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FOLLOW UP BECAUSE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN BETWEEN THE SLIDESHOW. SO YOU GUYS GOT TO EAT THE CAKE FIRST.

SO WE'LL TRY AND MAKE IT THROUGH THIS. THE BECAUSE THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A RECAP, PLUS GOING OVER HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE WERE OUTSIDE LOOKING AT THE TERRADYNE, WHICH THAT WAS A SURPRISE.

WHY WE PICKED THE TERRADYNE. SO KIND OF A RECAP FROM THE LAST MEETING IS WE TALKED ABOUT THE MRAP, THE CURRENT MRAP, WHICH YOU SAW OUTSIDE. IT'S CUMBERSOME, IT'S LARGE.

IT'S YOU CAN'T GET IT DOWN THE STREETS. GREENVILLE PD IS JUST LIKE US FOR THE MOST PART.

THEY HAVE OLDER STREETS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE, I WOULD SAY A COPY AND PASTE VERSION OF PRINCETON JUST IN GREENVILLE.

SO THEY HAD SOME OF THE SAME STRUGGLES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY HAVING NOW BEFORE THEY GOT THEIR TERRADYNE.

YOU CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD. IT'S GOING TO TEAR UP ROADS.

AND IT'S A VERY MILITARIZED VEHICLE. RIGHT? SO IT DOESN'T INVITE PEOPLE TO COME IN AND TALK TO YOU.

AND AS YOU GUYS SAW, IT'S PRETTY TALL OFF THE GROUND.

SO TRYING TO GET KIDS IN THERE TO, TO TRY AND BREAK SOMETHING TO HAVE FUN IS, IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

SO WHAT THE TERRADYNE BRINGS IS BETTER MANEUVER, MANEUVERABILITY, SAFETY, AND RAPID RESPONSE.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER SOME OF THESE OTHER HIGHLIGHTS. SOME OF THE ROLES THAT IT CAN PLAY WITH RESCUES, EVACUATIONS, MEDICAL STAGING, ACTIVE THREATS.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY COMMUNITY POLICING, WHICH IS KIND OF MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS.

SO THE COMMUNITY POLICING ASPECT. SO THIS IS JUST A SMALL LIST.

IT'S NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. BECAUSE REALLY THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.

SOME OF THE STUFF WE DON'T CURRENTLY DO OR THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, I KNOW WE'VE HAD PARADES FOR CHRISTMAS IN THE PAST.

[00:45:07]

SO THIS IS THE GREENVILLE TERRADYNE THAT YOU GUYS SAW OUTSIDE.

IT'S A BLUE SANTA. WE'RE TRYING TO START A BLUE SANTA THIS YEAR.

OR THIS COMING YEAR. PUT THAT IN A PARADE. ANY OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS OUT, WHETHER IT'S HOA EVENTS PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. IF WE HAD IT NOW FOR WHEN THE COMMUNITY CENTER OPENS UP AND A GRAND OPENING.

ANYTIME WE CAN GET IT OUT INTO THE PUBLIC. LET KIDS, YOU KNOW, CLIMB THROUGH IT, TRY AND BREAK THINGS, HAND OUT STICKERS. SO IN THE BAGS I GAVE YOU, THERE'S A THERE'S A LITTLE IT'S AN ARMADILLO.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE OUR MASCOT. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE STICKERS OUT OF THAT TO HAND OUT FOR KIDS.

PROBABLY GET ABOUT 2 OR 3000 OF THOSE. JUST JUST SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THE JUNIOR POLICE BADGES.

SO ANYTIME WE CAN GET THIS IN, IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT IS REALLY THE GOAL HERE BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE, IF YOU GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT, KIND OF THE STATS.

SO FROM JULY OF 24 TO NOW, SO ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF INTO HAVING AN SRT OR SWAT TEAM, WE'VE RUN 12 OPERATIONS. SO OF THOSE 12 OPERATIONS I THINK WE'VE USED THE MRAP TWICE.

EVERY OTHER TIME IT'S WE'RE TAKING A BUNCH OF SQUAD CARS, OR WE'RE GOING TO REPURPOSE PARKS OR NOT PARKS.

OH, WHAT'S IT CALLED? TO GO OFF AND DO SOMETHING. IN THAT TIME SO WE HAVE 13 OR WE JUST ADDED TWO.

SO THERE'S 15 TOTAL OF US ON THE SRT OR SWAT TEAM.

TWO OF THOSE ARE MEDICS. ONE IS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEN ONE IS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR WITH SRT OUTSIDE OF THE OPERATIONS IS WE'RE PARTICIPATING AS EVERYONE AWARE, FIFA 2026 IS GOING TO BE HERE IN DFW. THERE'S GOING TO BE A BUNCH OF GAMES PLAYED.

SO WE ARE PARTNERING WITH OTHER AGENCIES THROUGH THE NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS TO HELP PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR A LOT OF THE FIFA EVENTS. AND SO THEY'VE HAD WHAT WE CALLED METROX, WHERE WE WENT OUT AND DID TRAINING.

SO THE SWAT TEAM HAS PARTICIPATED IN THAT. WE ALSO HAVE ILA OR THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS WITH ANNA, CELINA AND MELISSA. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN.

THE ANNA IS PROVIDING THEIR MOBILE COMMAND POST.

SALINA HAS A VAN. AND MELISSA HAS DRONES THAT THEY'VE HAD FOR A WHILE.

WITH SOME OF THE MOVES THAT THE PD IS, IS MAKING AND PROJECTING HAVING THIS AND BE ABLE TO USE THE TERRADYNE BECAUSE AT SOME POINT THE GOAL IS TO HAVE ANNA AND MELISSA BRING ON THEIR OWN OPERATORS.

SO WE HAVE A MUCH LARGER TEAM AS WELL NATURAL DISASTERS.

SO THIS WILL PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN NATURAL DISASTERS.

AND WORKING WITH OUR EOC ON DIFFERENT STUFF. SO A GREAT EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE WEATHER COMING UP.

OR IF YOU LIVED IN PRINCETON DURING SNOWMAGEDDON, LIKE WHAT WAS THAT, FEBRUARY 2020.

THIS GIVES US A LITTLE BIT MORE CAPABILITIES THAN DRIVING A TAHOE DOWN THE STREET.

IT IS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. IT CAN DRIVE ON. OR WE WILL FIND OUT HOW WELL IT HANDLES ICE OVER THE WEEKEND.

I'LL GET WITH LIEUTENANT REEVES. BUT THIS IS A WAY WE CAN PUT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN IT AND TRANSPORT THEM SOMEWHERE.

WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE OF THE COLD, THEY CAN GO GET WARM WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.

AND THEN THE, THE ULTIMATE GOAL WITH THIS VEHICLE IS SUSTAINABILITY.

RIGHT? THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE. IT'S NOT LIKE A REGULAR TAHOES THAT WE HAVE WHERE THEY HAVE ABOUT A 3 TO 5 YEAR LIFE CYCLE, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THEY'RE DRIVEN. THEY'VE HAD THEIRS WHEN LIEUTENANT REEVES CAME OUT EARLIER BEFORE WE HAD OUR MEETING, THERE'S ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON IT, AND HE DRIVES IT A LOT BECAUSE HE GOES OUT TO AGENCIES LIKE WHAT HE DID TONIGHT.

SO OURS WOULD HAVE EVEN LESS THAN THAT. AND THEY'VE HAD IT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR THIS IS 15 TO 20 YEARS.

THIS IS AN INVESTMENT FOR US. WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT DALLAS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO BUY SOMETHING LIKE THIS EVERY COUPLE YEARS.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A BIG PURCHASE, OBVIOUSLY.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE IT LAST. THE ALONG WITH THAT, COMPARED TO THE MRAP, I THINK A FEW OF YOU THAT I SPOKE TO OUTSIDE IS A VERY CUSTOMIZED VEHICLE. SO YOU NEED A NEW HOSE FOR SOMETHING.

OUR POOR FLEET GUYS ARE HAVING TO FIGURE IT OUT, RIGHT? YOU CAN'T JUST GO TO O'REILLY'S OR AUTOZONE AND GET SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, PART FOR AN MRAP.

THAT'S JUST NOT A THING. THIS IS ON AN F-550 CHASSIS, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO IN JUST A SECOND.

SO THOSE PARTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE. OUR FLEET GUYS ARE VERY WELL VERSED IN HANDLING FOR CHASSIS AND A CLASS C.

[00:50:07]

SO SOMETHING THAT I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IS HAVING THIS CAN BE DRIVEN WITH A CLASS C, SO THE MRAP CURRENTLY IS A CLASS B.

SO IF WE WANT TO TAKE IT TO ANY TYPE OF EVENT, WE ALMOST HAVE TO BEG THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO DRIVE US AROUND THERE.

THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WITH CLASS B'S. WE HAVE A FEW GUYS THAT HAVE A CLASS B LICENSE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THEM LIKE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO WE DID GO THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS TO NARROW DOWN THE TERRADYNE TO THE TERRADYNE.

SO WHEN I ORIGINALLY PRESENTED THIS TO YOU GUYS, YOU WANTED THREE I GUESS THREE QUOTES BACK.

I ONLY HAD TWO SUBMISSIONS. SO THE ALPINE AND THE TERRADYNE WERE THE ONLY TWO THAT SUBMITTED BUT OUT OF DUE DILIGENCE AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS FOR A WHILE.

AND I THINK YOU GUYS HEARD LIEUTENANT REEVES OUTSIDE TALK ABOUT THE LENCO BEARCAT.

WE LOOKED AT THAT AS WELL. THE TWO BIG CRITERIA THAT WE HAD FOR FOR THIS WAS SIZE AND COST.

SO WE WANTED IT TO BE UNDER 400,000, AND WE WANTED THE SIZE TO BE F-550 OR SMALLER, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE THE MRAP. IT'S BIG ENOUGH JUST SITTING OUT THERE.

WE DIDN'T WANT SOMETHING TO THAT SIZE BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTIMIDATING WALKING UP TO IT.

OR IF IT'S RUNNING YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYONE TALK TO YOU WHATSOEVER IF YOU'RE STANDING CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE.

SO KIND OF LENCO, Y'ALL ALSO ASKED FOR COMPARATIVE CITIES AROUND US THAT HAVE THESE DIFFERENT VEHICLES.

LENCO UNTIL RECENTLY KIND OF CORNERED THE MARKET FOR THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES.

TERRADYNE STARTING TO PREVAIL ON THAT. TERRADYNE IS VERY BIG OUT IN FLORIDA.

BUT SO MCKINNEY AND ALLEN HAVE A BEARCAT. THEY DID NOT SUBMIT THEIR PRICES SOMEWHAT COMPARABLE TO TERRADYNE.

IT'S GOING TO BE IN THAT SAME BALLPARK. THE DOWNSIDE IS THEY TAKE 12 TO 18 MONTHS TO GET ONE OUT IF NOT LONGER.

AND THE OTHER PART THAT WE IT'S NOT A BAD VEHICLE.

THE OTHER PART WE JUST DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT WAS IT IS VERY BOXY.

WE FELT THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE. AND THEY ALSO CUT THEIR CHASSIS.

I'M NOT GOING TO STAND UP HERE AND TELL YOU THAT I'M A MECHANIC OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

HOWEVER FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, CUTTING A CHASSIS, THEY CUT ABOUT 12IN OUT OF THE MIDDLE AND THEN THEY WELD IT ONTO THE BACK TO MAKE THE BACKSIDE LONGER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AVOID ANY FORWARD WARRANTIES.

AND IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND, YOU KNOW, $350,000 PLUS ON A VEHICLE, I DON'T WANT THE WARRANTY TO BE VOIDED.

I THINK THAT'S NOT FINANCIALLY SMART. SO ALPINE, THEY DID SUBMIT THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS.

THEY WERE JUST OUTSIDE OF THE GUIDELINES. SO THEY HAVE AN F-600 CHASSIS WHICH IS BIGGER THAN WHAT WE WANTED, WHICH IS F-550. AND THEIR PRICE POINT, THEIR STARTING PRICE POINT IS $424,977 FOR WHAT WE REQUESTED THEIR RESPONSE OR THEIR GETTING THEIR VEHICLE OUT IS ABOUT 5 TO 6 MONTHS.

THEY JUST FELL OUTSIDE OF THAT. THE GUIDELINES WE HAVE FOR THE RFP.

TERRADYNE FELL WITHIN THOSE GUIDELINES. THEY COMPLETED A SUBMISSION.

I HAVE EVERYTHING IN MY OFFICE. AND AS YOU GUYS SAW, IT'S GOT ROUNDED EDGES.

IT CAN BE INTIMIDATING IF, I THINK IT'S HOW YOU APPROACH IT BECAUSE IT IS A BIG ARMORED VEHICLE.

BUT WHEN YOU YOU GUYS HEARD LIEUTENANT REEVES TALK ABOUT THE HOW INVOLVED THEY ARE WITH THEIR COMMUNITY AND HOW MUCH EVERYONE LOVES IT, THAT'S REALLY THE GOAL FOR US. THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, ONLY HAVING 12 OPERATIONS THAT WE COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY USED THIS THE MAJORITY OF THE USE FOR THIS IS GOING TO BE COMMUNITY POLICING. TAKING IT TO DID YOU GUYS GO I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ASK QUESTIONS, BUT DO YOU GUYS GO TO THE HOMECOMING GAME? THE STANDS WERE PACKED.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PARK THAT IN THE FRONT.

IT PROVIDES SECURITY, AND WE CAN ALSO LET ALL THE LITTLE KIDS RUN THROUGH IT AND HAND OUT STICKERS.

RIGHT. SO YOU'RE PROVIDING SECURITY WHILE COMMUNITY POLICING, WHICH IS A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY.

SO THAT'S REALLY THE GOAL WITH THESE ANYTIME THE TERRADYNE WOULD GO OUT, IT WOULD HAVE A DRIVER AND AN OPERATOR, A SWAT OPERATOR WITH IT. SO YOU'D HAVE THE SECURITY ON THAT, THAT SIDE OF IT.

PLUS MOST OF OUR MOST OF OUR GUYS HAVE KIDS, RIGHT? I HAVE THREE MINE ARE GETTING OLDER. SO GETTING TO HANG OUT WITH THE LITTLE KIDS THAT DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME IS ALWAYS A PLUS, RIGHT? MY 17 YEAR OLD IS RUTHLESS. SO THE TERRADYNE, IT'S IT TAKES ABOUT, IT'S A SEVEN MONTH PROCESS FROM THE DAY THAT YOU PUT THE ORDER IN.

IT'S ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS. THEY SAY 30 TO 32 WEEKS, DEPENDING ON HOW BUSY THEY ARE.

THEY CAN GET IN WITHIN 5 TO 6. IT'S JUST REALLY DEPENDENT ON WHAT THEY WHAT THEY HAVE GOING ON.

ANY. WELL, WE'LL HAVE QUESTIONS. SO WHAT THE TERRADYNE PROVIDES.

[00:55:06]

SO IT'S THE ONLY PROPOSAL MEETING ALL MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS.

SO IT'S AN NIJ LEVEL FOUR PLUS I'M NOT A BALLISTICS EXPERT BUT THE NIJ LEVEL FOUR IS A .30-06, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN A 7.62 PLUS TECHNICALLY IT DOESN'T FALL IN THE NIJ CATEGORY.

THE REASON THEY ADD PLUS IS BECAUSE THEY THROW GRENADES AND C-4 AT IT, AND IT STILL WITHSTANDS UP TO UP TO PAR.

THE BIG, THE THE BIG IMPORTANT PART FOR US IS THE F-550 CHASSIS.

AND I WISH WE COULD HAVE TAKEN YOU GUYS OUT ON A RIDE.

AND IF WE GET ONE, WE WILL. WE TOOK IT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND US, AND WE WERE ABLE TO ALMOST DO A COMPLETE U-TURN JUST IN AN INTERSECTION.

SO IT IT HANDLES VERY WELL. IT HANDLES PROBABLY BETTER THAN THE CHEVY TRUCKS THAT WE HAVE, WHICH YOU CAN HARDLY MAKE A U-TURN ON 380. AND IT HAS A CLASS C DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING TO TAKE IT OUT TO EVENTS SUPERIOR MANEUVERABILITY. AND IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS MISSION READY.

THE DOWNSIDE TO THE MRAP IS, WE DON'T KNOW, DAY TO DAY IF IT'S GOING TO HAVE A FLAT TIRE, IF THE BATTERIES AREN'T GOING TO BE WORKING.

WE HAD AN OPERATION IN MCKINNEY THAT WAS KIND OF SPUR OF THE MOMENT.

AND THAT'S ONE WHERE WE HAD TO GO BEG, BORROW AND STEAL VANS TO USE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW IF MRAP COULD MAKE IT TO MCKINNEY AND BACK OR GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON 380. SO AND THEN THE WARRANTY ASPECT OF IT. SO THE ARMORED COMPONENTS ARE WARRANTED BY TERRADYNE.

IT'S THREE YEARS. SAME WITH THE BALLISTIC GLASS.

THAT IS THREE YEARS. POWERTRAIN AND THE DIESEL ENGINE IS FROM FORD.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE FIVE YEARS, 60,000 MILES, FIVE YEARS, 100,000 MILES.

THOSE THAT COME FROM FORD. AND THEN THE TOTAL INVESTMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE.

OUT THE DOOR IS $355,066. IT'S A 30 TO 32 WEEK TURNAROUND.

I WENT THROUGH THAT REALLY QUICK. SO I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I KNOW WE KIND OF STARTED LATE. WE WE GOT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE.

AND I DID WANT YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO ASK WHATEVER QUESTIONS THAT YOU, YOU NEEDED.

AND IF I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER, I WILL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.

AND THAT'S A PERFECT SEGUE, BECAUSE I TOLD MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS FOR THE MEETING, AND I HATE THE FACT THAT I'VE GOT TO SAY THIS ON TAPE, BUT BECAUSE YOUR CEO MISSED SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA, WE CAN'T TAKE ACTION TONIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

AND I DID NOT GET IT POSTED. MY APOLOGIES. BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS ASK ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS, GET A CONSENSUS OF HOW THE BOARD FEELS ABOUT THE PROJECT.

WE WILL IMMEDIATELY POST IT FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AND THEN TAKE THE OFFICIAL ACTION THEN AND AGAIN.

MY APOLOGIES. I WAS OUT WITH THE FLU THAT WEEK AND I MISSED IT WHEN I WAS PROOFING THE AGENDA.

GOTCHA. I JUST WANT TO SAY, SERGEANT TRIM, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

YOU'VE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB. ME AND YOU HAVE COMMUNICATED BACK AND FORTH ON SOME THINGS, AND I KNOW IN THE BEGINNING I THINK THIS WAS PRESENTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS, BUT AND I'VE ACTUALLY DONE SOME RESEARCH AND GOT SOME INFORMATION, BUT YOU'VE GIVEN A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION AND YOU'VE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO PRESENTING THIS.

SO I REALLY JUST APPRECIATE YOU FROM THAT STANDPOINT AND ALL THE WORK AND EFFORT THAT YOU PUT IN.

MY, MY STANCE ON THIS IS IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR THE CITY.

YOU TALK ABOUT $355,000 PURCHASE WITH A LIFE SPAN OF 20 YEARS, THAT THAT COST BREAKS DOWN TO ABOUT $17,000 A YEAR.

A LOT WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP AT ONCE. BUT I THINK WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN OVER HOW LONG THIS VEHICLE WILL BE SERVING THE PRINCETON COMMUNITY, I THINK IN MY OPINION IT'S A GOOD IDEA. SO THANK YOU.

I KNOW WE CAN'T TAKE ACTION ON IT, BUT JUST MY OPINION AND I'LL GIVE EVERYBODY ELSE A CHANCE TO SPEAK OR ASK ANY QUESTION. BUT JUST IN MY OPINION, I THINK IT'S A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE CITY CAN'T CONTINUE TO GROW IF WE DON'T KEEP IT SAFE.

AND WE GOT TO KEEP OUR OFFICERS SAFE IN THAT FORM OR FASHION.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO DO OUR PART. AND ALSO I LOVE THE COMMUNITY POLICING AS A PART OF IT AS WELL, LETTING OUR YOUTH KNOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED OF THE POLICE.

THERE ARE THINGS THAT THEY CAN COME AND APPROACH AND DO, AND I THINK THIS WILL BE A BIG GAP.

WE CAN USE THIS VEHICLE AS A GAP TO HELP BRIDGE THAT AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THE CURRENT ONE THAT WE HAVE? IS THAT A PLAN FOR THAT? I THINK YOU MENTIONED THE LAST TIME.

I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER. SO THE. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE MRAP? THE BIG. OKAY. SO THAT ONE IS LOANED ESSENTIALLY TO US THROUGH THE 10-33 PROGRAM, WHICH IS I DON'T KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF IT.

[01:00:08]

SO BUT BASICALLY IT'S ON LOAN TO US FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

AND SO ONCE WE GET A NEW ONE, HOWEVER THAT HAPPENS THAT WILL THEN GET TURNED AROUND AND BE GIVEN BACK TO THE 10-33 PROGRAM OR ANOTHER AGENCY WILL PICK IT UP. SO THAT ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE BECAUSE IT WAS DARK. THAT CAME FROM WILEY.

SO WE HAD TO SCRATCH WILEY OFF. AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE OUTLINE OF WILEY ON TOP.

AND SO IT'LL JUST KEEP GETTING PUSHED DOWN THE LINE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN ONE MORE QUESTION FOR THE NEW VEHICLE.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH ANY MAINTENANCE OR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.

I KNOW IT'S UNDER WARRANTY FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT ANYTHING THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP ON THEIR OWN? YES. SO PART OF THE PACKAGE FOR THIS, THIS MONEY IS FOR TERRADYNE TO SEND TWO PEOPLE OUT TO ONE TRAIN OFFICERS.

JUST THERE'S A MILLION BUTTONS IN THERE. MAKE SURE THEY'RE OPERATING IT CORRECTLY.

BUT I ALSO I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN OUR FLEET MAINTENANCE INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT MONTHS AGO TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND SO SOME OF THE LIKE THE LIGHTING PACKAGE IS WHAT THEY PICKED.

THEY PICKED A CERTAIN COMPANY FOR THE LIGHTING PACKAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT COMPANY, BECAUSE ALL OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES ARE WITH THEM.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE CHASSIS AND LIKE THE MECHANICAL, MECHANICAL ASPECT, IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER F-550 THEY DON'T MAKE ANY CHANGES.

AND IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT, WE CAN ALWAYS SEND IT TO THE FORD HOUSE, WHICH IS CRAZY, BECAUSE THAT GOING TO THE FORD HOUSE IS KIND OF WEIRD TO THINK ABOUT.

THE FORD HOUSE, ANY FORD HOUSE THAT WE KIND OF PARTNER WITH CAN TAKE THAT AND FIX ANY MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT WE NEED.

YOU'RE WELCOME. I THINK IT'S AWESOME AND IT'S A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR THE CITY AND A GREAT ASSET.

AND I MEAN, THERE'S PLENTY OF TIMES WHERE YOU GUYS COULD USE THIS ALREADY FOR YOUR GUYS.

AND SO IF IT'S GOING TO KEEP YOU GUYS SAFER AND OUR COMMUNITY SAFER, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S A WIN WIN ALL AROUND.

AND SHANITA ASKED THE QUESTION I WAS GOING TO ASK.

SO WE'RE ALL GOOD THERE. AND ANOTHER THING I WANT TO SAY AFTER MEETING WITH SERGEANT TRIM, ME AND JIM, WE MET WITH SERGEANT TRIM AND CHIEF, AND I WILL SAY THE PPOLICE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF AND HIS TEAM, THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF STRETCHING THE RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE.

I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE WEAPONS THAT THEY GOT WHEN OTHER DEPARTMENTS LIKE HE HAD ON HERE.

MCKINNEY AND ALLEN, HAVE THIS WHERE THEY HAVEN'T RISKED QUALITY, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE A STEP DOWN AND STRETCH THE DOLLARS THAT THEY HAVE.

SO I, I'VE SEEN IN PERSON WHERE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE STRETCHED EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR AND HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY CONSERVATIVE ON THE FUNDS THAT ARE GIVEN TO THEM.

THEY'RE NOT JUST TAKING THEM AND RUNNING AND JUST DOING ALL THESE THINGS WITH THEM. THEY ARE A PART OF A GROWING CITY THAT NEEDS THE SUPPORT.

SO HATS OFF TO Y'ALL AND THE TEAM FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

JIM, ONE QUESTION THAT I DO HAVE ON THIS WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS.

THIS IS ALL GOOD AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF ON OUR END.

CERTAINLY WE'VE GOT RIGHT AT 5 MILLION IN THE BANK.

OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN ONLY SPEND THE SAME DOLLAR ONCE, SO THAT WILL LOWER THAT A LITTLE BIT.

BUT IF THE BOARD AGREES THAT THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT AND MY INPUT, LIKE I MENTIONED LAST MEETING IS THIS IS A LEGAL EXPENDITURE.

IT IS A SPECIFIC ALLOTMENT IN THE LAW. AND THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I WOULD MENTION, AND I'M SURE A COUPLE OF YOU ARE THINKING THIS, MELISSA KIND OF ALLUDED TO IT. IF YOU'RE IN A SITUATION THAT REQUIRES A SWAT TEAM, THE THOUGHT OF THEM SHOWING UP IN A VEHICLE THAT ISN'T ARMORED MAKES ME VERY UNEASY.

YEAH, AND I'M NOT PROBABLY AS UNEASY. IT MAKES THEM.

BUT I'M THINKING, WOW, SHOWING UP IN A VAN? YEAH.

NO, NO. SO I, I MEAN, I KNOW WE CAN'T TAKE ACTION ON IT.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW WE CAN'T TAKE ANY ACTION ON IT TONIGHT, BUT I THINK THE CONSENSUS IS, YOU KNOW, ONCE JIM GETS ALL THE DUCKS IN A ROW, WE'LL BE GOOD TO GO.

QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THE NEXT MEETING WILL WORK.

DO YOU WANT ME TO BRING BACK ANOTHER PRESENTATION AND PRESENT IT, OR IS THIS JUST GOING TO BE A VOTE? NO, IT'LL JUST BE A VOTE. OKAY. AWESOME. YEP.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW YOU GUYS. YOU WANT HIM TO MAKE HIM BRING THE CHIEF AND ABOUT THREE SERGEANTS AND DO ANOTHER PRESENTATION? WHAT? NO, NO, HE'S DONE A LOT OF WORK PUTTING INTO IT. WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS, SERGEANT. APPRECIATE IT. MAN. THANK YOU.

ALRIGHTY. MOVING RIGHT ALONG. J.5 2026-005 OFFICER NANCY DOMINGUEZ SCHOLARSHIP FUND.

[J5. 2026-005 Officer Nancy Dominguez Scholarship Fund Consider, discuss, and act on the final grant guidelines for the Officer Nancy Dominguez Scholarship Fund with Collin College.]

CONSIDER DISCUSS AND ACT ON THE FINAL GRANT GUIDELINES FOR THE OFFICER NANCY DOMINGUEZ SCHOLARSHIP FUND WITH COLLIN COLLEGE.

OKAY, MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS. THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY HAD AUTHORIZED ME TO WORK WITH THE FOUNDATION.

[01:05:01]

WE'VE ALREADY RESERVED THE FUNDS. BUT YOU WANTED ME TO FINALIZE WITH THE FOUNDATION THE ACTUAL GUIDELINES OF THE SCHOLARSHIP.

I DID RECEIVE AN UP DATED SCHOLARSHIP AGREEMENT FROM THEM THAT HAS THE CRITERIA THAT THEY AND I TALKED ABOUT, AND I WANTED TO GET THE BOARD TO OFFICIALLY ADOPT THIS AND SAY, YES, WE AGREE WITH THESE GUIDELINES.

ONE THING THAT SHE EXPLAINED TO ME IS THE WAY THEIR SYSTEM WORKS IS THAT THEY'RE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE THE ONLY REQUIRED CRITERIA. THOSE ARE ACTUALLY COLLIN COLLEGE'S MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP LIKE THIS.

THE DONOR PREFERENCE CRITERIA, ALTHOUGH IT JUST SAYS PREFERENCE.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REQUIRING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THE THE MINIMUM IS.

AND IT IS IT DOES HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN IT, BUT THESE ARE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO GO BY.

THE MINIMUM IS 2.5 GPA. WE PUT 2.75 GPA. THEY CAN GO DOWN TO THEIR MINIMUM.

BUT THAT'S, THAT'S OUR PREFERENCE WHEN THEY'RE SORTING THROUGH THESE.

AGAIN, THIS IS A BIG ONE. GRADUATE FROM PRINCETON ISD AND RESIDENT OF COLLIN COUNTY OR A CURRENT RESIDENT OF PRINCETON.

SO IF SOMEBODY MOVED HERE AFTER THEY GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THEY'RE STILL A RESIDENT, THEY WOULD QUALIFY. AND THEN THE CHAIR AND I HAD HAD THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT A DIFFERENT PROGRAM PREVIOUSLY, AND I'VE ALWAYS REMEMBERED IT, AND IT WAS ABOUT OUR, OUR SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM THAT WE'VE DONE IS THAT IT.

WE WANT THIS TO BE AN HONOR. WE WANT THIS TO BE SOMETHING THAT MANY ARE GOING TO SEEK, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT JUST A LAYUP, AN AUTOMATIC FOR KIDS. AND SO ONE OF THE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT I PUT IN THERE IS UP TO TWO OPTIONAL LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION, PREFERABLY ONE FROM A TEACHER OR COUNSELOR AND CERTAINLY ONE FROM SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT RELATED TO THEM, BECAUSE I, I WANT THEM TO KIND OF GO THROUGH A PROCESS IF, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

AND THEN THAT, THAT IS ESSENTIALLY IT. ONCE THIS IS ADOPTED WITHIN THE NEXT 60 DAYS, WE'LL CUT A CHECK TO THE FOUNDATION FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT, SEED THE ACCOUNT, AND THEN WE'LL JUST BE CORRESPONDING BACK AND FORTH WITH COLLIN COLLEGE WILL BE MOSTLY OUT OF IT.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS FORM.

IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR PULLING ALL THIS TOGETHER, JIM.

WORKING WITH THE COLLEGE, COLLIN COLLEGE FOUNDATION ON GETTING THIS SET UP AND FINALIZED.

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. I KNOW WE TALKED TO SERGEANT TRIM ABOUT THIS A WHILE AGO, AND WE WE FINALLY GOT ALL THE PIECES PUT TOGETHER.

SO JUST THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT WAS PUT INTO IT, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, IF ANY OF YOU ALL I KNOW, IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORK DAY, BUT IF ANYBODY CAN BE AT THE RIBBON CUTTING ON FEBRUARY, IS IT THIRD OR 10TH? SUNDAY 10TH, FEBRUARY 10TH? I WOULD SAY PLEASE TRY TO BE THERE. THIS IS A SPECIAL MOMENT FOR OFFICER THAT SERVED OUR COMMUNITY.

SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU CAN BE THERE.

IF YOU CAN. WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. BUT I WILL TRY TO.

DEFINITELY. I WILL BE THERE. AND KUDOS FOR THE TO THE BOARD FOR DOING THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AT TURNING INTO A NAMING OF A ROOM AFTER.

I THINK THAT'S ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT ANYBODY HAD EVER EXPECTED.

AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY SPECIAL. SERGEANT TRIM JUST MENTIONED THAT HE'S GOING TO BE WORKING WITH LAURA, SETTING UP THE NAMING CEREMONY. SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO SEE DURING THAT, PLEASE LET HIM KNOW. AND HE'LL MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT PROVIDED IT WON'T BE A PUBLIC EVENT, BUT IT'LL BE IN THE ATRIUM. IT'LL BE, THERE'S ROOM FOR 60-70.

SO WE ARE INVITING THE CITY COUNCIL, BOTH BOARDS, ALL DEPARTMENT HEADS.

AND THERE'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE A BIG CONTINGENT FROM POLICE AND HER FAMILY.

BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT IDEAS THAT YOU HAD THAT YOU'D LIKE TO BE INCORPORATED, PLEASE GET WITH CODY AND LET HIM KNOW AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT GETS COVERED.

IS THAT GOOD? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO, JIM, DO I JUST DO WE TAKE ACTION ON THIS OR JUST MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE GUIDELINES AS PRESENTED? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE GUIDELINES AS PRESENTED.

I'D LIKE TO SECOND THAT MOTION. MOTION MADE BY MR. THORNTON, SECOND BY MS. NED. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE.

MOTION PASSES 5-0. ALRIGHTY. EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[01:10:07]

EXECUTIVE SESSION. UNDER TERMS OF CHAPTER. MR. CHAIR, REAL QUICK, YOU HAVE ITEM J.6 BEFORE YOU GET EXECUTIVE.

OH. I'M SORRY. TRYING TO SKIP AROUND. OKAY. J.6 2026-006 UPDATE OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE AGREEMENT.

[J6. 2026-006 Update of Administrative Services Agreement Consider, discuss, and act to approve an updated administrative services agreement between the PCDC and the city of Princeton. ]

CONSIDER, DISCUSS AND ACT TO APPROVE AND UPDATE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PCDC AND THE CITY OF PRINCETON.

THIS IS THE SAME SITUATION AS THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER, AND I WILL HAND IT OVER TO GRANT TO TELL YOU WHAT HAS BEEN CHANGED ON IT FOR YOUR APPROVAL. PERFECT. YEP. THIS IS THE SAME AGREEMENT THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED BACK, I BELIEVE, IN OCTOBER. COUNCIL APPROVED IT IN NOVEMBER WITH SOME CHANGES.

THE TWO CHANGES ARE TO SECTION 1.G. COUNCIL DESIRED FOR IT TO BE CLEAR THAT ANY OTHER SERVICES NOT ONLY ARE THEY MUTUALLY AGREED UPON IN WRITING, BUT ALSO REQUIRES APPROVAL BY EACH GOVERNING BODY.

AND THEN ALSO SECTION FOUR, THE TERM, SO RIGHT NOW AND HOW IT WAS PREVIOUSLY IS THERE'S AN INITIAL TERM BETWEEN THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2026, WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE THE CITY'S FISCAL YEAR.

AND THEN THEREAFTER IT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS ON ONE YEAR INCREMENTS THEREAFTER.

THE COUNCIL DESIRED TO HAVE A REQUIREMENT THAT BOTH BOTH PARTIES, THE CDC AND THE CITY REVIEW THE AGREEMENT AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR, KIND OF CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH THE ANNUAL BUDGET REVIEW AND BUDGET ADOPTION PROCESS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH PARTIES ARE STILL MUTUALLY AGREEABLE AND BENEFICIAL TO BOTH PARTIES, THAT THE CITY'S RECEIVING ENOUGH IN IN FEE REVENUE, AND ALSO THAT THE CDC IS RECEIVING ENOUGH SERVICES IN EXCHANGE.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY TWO CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION YOU YOU SAW BACK IN OCTOBER.

ALL THE DOLLARS ARE THE SAME. SO. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, SIR. ALL RIGHT. I'LL TAKE A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THESE CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT.

I SECOND THAT MOTION. MOTION MADE BY MS. NED, SECOND BY MR. THORNTON. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. MOTION PASSES 5-0.

ALRIGHTY NOW. EXECUTIVE SESSION. EXECUTIVE SESSION.
