[PR1. Fire Prevention Week.]
SO I WOULD ASK THAT WHENEVER YOUR ITEM COMES UP AND I CALL YOU FORWARD, IF YOU WILL JOIN ME DOWN FRONT.AND I. KIND OF TURN. SO OUR FIRST RECOGNITION THIS EVENING IS FOR FIRE PREVENTION WEEK. SO WHO ALL IS COMING WITH YOU, CHIEF? A WHOLE LOT OF SMILES IN THE BACK. COME DOWN HERE. WELL, IF YOU'RE HERE FROM THE FIRE SERVICE, IF YOU WILL COME JOIN US, PLEASE. SPECTACULAR. I REMIND PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU SIT IN THE BACK, STAND ON THE END. THE SECOND ONE HERE IN THE BLUE IS THE ONE THAT WANTS TO TALK. I SAW HIM. NO, NO. NOT YOU. SO.
RIGHT THERE. SO, AS MANY KNOW, WILEY. FIRE RESCUE IS AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION. HERE WITHIN WILEY.
THEY ARE SECOND TO NONE. THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THEIR ISO ONE STATUS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CITY HAS GONE THROUGH TREMENDOUS PERIODS OF GROWTH, AS WELL AS THE CHANGES THAT THE OVERSEEING ORGANIZATION LIKES TO PUT IN PLACE FROM TIME TO TIME. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, ISO ONE IS THE HIGHEST RATING THAT A FIRE SERVICE CAN ACHIEVE. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT EVERY CITY HAS. IN FACT, THROUGHOUT DFW, I WOULD SAY THE MAJORITY ARE NOT AN ISO ONE RATED ORGANIZATION.
CHIEFS AFFIRMING FOR ME HERE. AND NOT ONLY DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU GET A DISCOUNT, ESPECIALLY AS A BUSINESS OWNER ON YOUR INSURANCE, WHICH ALL OF US CAN USE ANY HELP WITH OUR INSURANCE COSTS THAT WE CAN, BUT IT MEANS THAT THE LIFE SAVING SKILLS AND THE SPEED OF RESPONSE ARE MEETING VERY, VERY STRINGENT GUIDELINES. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE LOSING A GARAGE OR LOSING A HOME. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY BEING RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR LIFE SAVING CARE, OR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T MAKE IT, AND A FAMILY LOSES A MEMBER. THESE INDIVIDUALS PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE. THESE INDIVIDUALS GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US. AND THIS WEEK, I KNOW, IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM
[00:05:04]
BECAUSE I THINK IF YOU ASK THEM, FIRE PREVENTION IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. MAYBE NOT AS EXCITING FOR THEM, BUT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING TO DEAL WITH AN ACTUAL FIRE. THEY DO SUCH AN AMAZING JOB. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY EMAILS I'VE GOTTEN OVER THE YEARS OF THEM GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH THINGS LIKE I NEEDED HELP WITH MY FIRE ALARMS, THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF OR I CAN'T INSTALL THEM. MAYBE SOMEONE IS A LITTLE OLDER AND CAN'T GET ON A LADDER.MAYBE SOMEONE HAS FINANCE ISSUES AT THAT TIME. THEY TAKE THE TIME TO GO AND ASSIST THOSE PEOPLE WHILE ALSO ON THE OTHER END, GOING TO SCHOOLS AND TEACHING CHILDREN WHAT TO DO. IF GOD FORBID, THEY EVER FIND THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE CAUGHT IN A FIRE. SO, CHIEF, I WANT TO LET YOU ALL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT FIRE PREVENTION WEEK AND WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED. BUT JUST ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND THE CITIZENS, AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU MAYOR. JUST JUST REAL QUICK. I WAS TRYING TO SEE HOW MANY ISO I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL A PREVIEW, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT AT OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. BUT THERE'S NOT A THERE'S NOT A LOT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THE, THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT FOCUS ON FIRE PREVENTION FOR US AS A CITY AND AS OUR IN OUR DEPARTMENT ARE KIND OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES. IT'S CHIEF CLAYBORN AND THE OTHER TWO THAT OBVIOUSLY FOUND THEIR WAY TO THE BACK. THEY'RE BEHIND THE SCENES. THEY START AS SOON AS THE DEVELOPER COMES IN. THEY'RE MEETING WITH THAT DEVELOPER, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BUILDING IS SAFE. AND WE HAVE GOOD ACCESS TO IT, AND IT HAS THE RIGHT SYSTEM INSTALLED. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THEY DO, THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT STUFF AND THEN AFTER THAT, THEY START LOOKING AT ANNUAL INSPECTIONS. AND IF YOU OWN A BUSINESS, YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THEM COME BY AND DO AN ANNUAL INSPECTION JUST TO ENSURE IT'S SAFE. IN 2023, WE LOST ABOUT $1.3 MILLION WORTH OF STUFF EITHER EITHER STRUCTURE OR CONTENTS. AT STRUCTURE FIRES.
BUT WE SAVED ABOUT 20, ALMOST 25 MILLION. AND SO OBVIOUSLY OUR OPERATIONS PEOPLE DO A GREAT JOB. BUT THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT MAKING SURE THAT OUR SYSTEMS ARE IN PLACE. THAT THE CODE THAT ALL OF OUR CODES ARE FOLLOWED AND THAT THEY'RE CONTINUALLY FOLLOWED AND THEY DO THINGS SUCH AS BUSINESS INSPECTIONS ANNUALLY, THEY DO SOLAR PANEL INSPECTIONS. AND IF YOU'VE SEEN AROUND TOWN, WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF THOSE. JUST TO ENSURE ALL OF THAT STUFF IS SAFE. SO OUR OPERATIONS PEOPLE HOPEFULLY DON'T HAVE TO FOCUS ON THAT. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER A FIRE AT YOUR HOUSE. SO THEY DO A TREMENDOUS JOB AT THAT. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE DO IN PREVENTION. THE MAYOR ALLUDED TO SOME OF IT. WE DO SMOKE DETECTORS AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS, AND THOSE ARE ALL GREAT. BUT WE ALSO VISIT EVERY EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVERY YEAR. AND WE HAVE A FIRE PREVENTION TEAM. THAT SOME OF THESE FOLKS PARTICIPATE IN. AND THEY THEY VISIT ALL THE SCHOOLS. THEY CREATE A NEW A NEW SKIT EVERY YEAR THAT THAT PRODUCES AND PUSHES THOSE FIRE. THE POINTS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE, WHETHER IT'S GET OUT, STAY OUT, EDITH, PLAN. SMOKE DETECTORS, STOP, DROP AND ROLL. ALL OF THOSE THINGS. THEY TEACH IT TO THE KIDS, AND WE REPEAT THAT EVERY YEAR. SO WE CAN KIND OF DRIVE THAT MESSAGE HOME. SO THEY DO A LOT OF STUFF BEHIND THE SCENES. WE SEE OUR OPERATIONS PEOPLE OUT DOING STUFF DAY IN AND DAY OUT. BUT ALSO REST ASSURED THAT THAT OUR PREVENTION DIVISION IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED AND TO MAKE SURE THOSE BUILDINGS AND HOMES ARE SAFE. SO WE APPRECIATE THEM VERY MUCH. CHIEF CLAYBURN, YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE? YOU SURE? OH, YES. WILLIE. ONE OTHER THING. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, TOO. THEY'RE TRIPLE CERTIFIED, SO THEY'RE THEY'RE FIREFIGHTERS IN MANY CASES. THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF EMT OR PARAMEDIC CERTIFICATION. AND THEY'RE ALSO POLICE OFFICERS. BECAUSE NOT THAT WE HAVE A LOT, BUT THEY THEY'RE ALSO OUR ENFORCEMENT INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SO SHOULD WE HAVE AN ARSON CASE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT INVESTIGATION AS WELL. SO NOT THAT WE HAVE A LOT, BUT WE DO HAVE THAT IN PLACE IF WE NEED IT. ALRIGHT. LET'S GET EVERYONE'S NAME ROLL AND HOW LONG. OH YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. OH YEA. COREY CLAIBORNE AND I'VE BEEN HERE 20 YEARS. JAMES BROWN, 29 YEARS. BRIAN RITTER. I HAVE NO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN HERE. SO JUST. NO, YOU GO AHEAD. JUSTINE MCGEE, 12 YEARS. WILLIAM SULLIVAN, 19 YEARS. CARLOS PUENTE, TWO YEARS, FOUR DAYS. JOE WETZEL HAVE BEEN WIDELY TEN YEARS. BUT LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 30 YEARS. TOTAL. I'M SHELLEY HENNIG HOFFMAN AND I'VE BEEN HERE FOR EIGHT YEARS. ROBERT NISHIYAMA I'VE BEEN HERE 14 YEARS. SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. BEVERLY GAITHER, ONE YEAR.
GARRETT SCAMPOLI I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SIX YEARS. JORDAN DAVIS I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ONE YEAR. JACOB

TWO YEARS. JACKSON NORTHSHIELD TEN MONTHS. EVAN HAWTHORNE BEEN HERE THREE YEARS.SO CRAIG DID A QUICK BIT OF RESEARCH, AND THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 500 ISO ONE ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE AND 100 OR FEWER IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT LEVEL OF PROFICIENCY THAT THEY DISPLA. SO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR YOU ALL THIS EVENING. WHEREAS THE CITY OF WILEY AND WILEY FIRE RESCUE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ALL WILEY CITIZENS. AND WHEREAS WILEY HOME FIRES ARE A SERIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN WITH MORE THAN 358,000 RESIDENTIAL FIRES REPORTED ANNUALLY, KILLING MORE THAN 2600 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES. WHEREAS WORKING SMOKE ALARMS CUT THE RISK OF DYING IN A HOME FIRE IN HALF. AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF WILEY IS DEDICATED TO REDUCING THE OCCURRENCES OF HOME FIRES AND HOME FIRE INJURIES THROUGH PREVENTION AND PROTECTION EDUCATION, INCLUDING THE FREE INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION OF RESIDENTIAL SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS, AND INTERACTIVE PRESENTATIONS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE WILEY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MATTHEW PORTER, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WILEY, TEXAS, ON THIS, THE EIGHTH DAY OF OCTOBER 2024, AM HONORED TO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE SIXTH DAY OF OCTOBER 2024 THROUGH THE 12TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2024, AS FIRE PREVENTION WEEK IN THE CITY OF WILEY, TEXAS, AND ENCOURAGE WILEY RESIDENTS TO NOT DELAY AND CONTACT WILEY FIRE RESCUE TO SCHEDULE A FREE RESIDENTIAL FIRE SAFETY INSPECTION TO HELP REDUCE THE CHANCE OF A FIRE TRAGEDY IN YOUR HOME. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. PICTURES. FOR THE RECORD, THIS ONE. KELLY DID THAT RESEARCH AND WE PUT IT UP THERE. NO. THERE YOU GO. COME ON UP. THANK YOU. COME ON UP. YEAH, IT'S JUST PERFECT.

OUR SECOND PRESENTATION. THIS EVENING IS FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. AND IF I CAN GET THOSE WHO ARE HERE FOR THAT TO JOIN ME DOWN FRONT.
OF THE. SO THE MONTH OF OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
[PR2. Domestic Violence Awareness Month.]
RECOGNITIONS PRESENTATIONS WE DO THAT I WISH WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NEED FOR IT. NOT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T NEED ATTENTION THAT IT HAPPENS. BUT WE WISH THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ANYONE THAT HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT. BUT WE HAVE SOME AMAZING INDIVIDUALS HERE THIS EVENING WHO HAVE WORKED WITH THOSE VICTIMS, BECAUSE THOSE VICTIMS ARE IN EVERY COMMUNITY. THESE THINGS, UNFORTUNATELY HAPPEN IN WYLIE. THEY HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF WYLIE, WITHIN COLLIN COUNTY AND THE ABILITY TO BRING AWARENESS TO THESE SITUATIONS, TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO NEED HELP AND TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. DO NOT IGNORE ISSUES THAT YOU MAY ENCOUNTER DURING LIFE. OFTEN, PEOPLE WILL REACH OUT TO SOMEONE THAT THEY KNOW TO A FRIEND, AND SOMETIMES IT'S A BYSTANDER WHO WITNESSES SOMETHING. SO I KNOW THEY WILL SPEAK MORE ABOUT THAT, BUT I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MISS KEISHA VOSS, OUR CRIME VICTIMS ADVOCATE, AND LET YOU START. YOU CAN INTRODUCE YOURSELF, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIND OF WHAT YOUR ROLE IS AND HOW WE HELP PEOPLE THROUGH YOUR DEPARTMENT[00:15:06]
AND OTHERS. AND THEN WE CAN LET OUR OTHER GUESTS INTRODUCE THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO HELP. YES, SIR. SO AGAIN, MY NAME IS KEISHA VOSS. I'M ACTUALLY IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND WHAT WE DO, WHAT WE OFFER IS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND INFORMATION TO VICTIMS. AND ALSO RESOURCE REFERRAL. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU ALL A LITTLE GLIMPSE OF, LIKE, RESOURCE REFERRAL COULD BE A THERAPIST THAT THEY BEING REFERRED TO. IT COULD BE A SAFE PLACE THAT THEY NEED TO GO TO. IT COULD BE A PLETHORA OF THINGS, BUT THAT'S LIKE THE BASIC THINGS THAT WE COVER. SAFETY PLANNING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND SO THESE LOVELY LADIES ARE HERE BECAUSE THESE ARE THE LADIES THAT I CONTACT ON A REGULAR BASIS. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO THEM TO SPEAK TO, TO SAY WHAT THEY OFFER AS WELL. THANK. HI. MY NAME IS FRAN FISHER. I'M DIRECTOR OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AT AGAPE RESOURCE AND ASSISTANCE CENTER, SOON TO ALSO BE JERICHO VILLAGE. THANK YOU JESUS AND ANYWAY, KEISHA AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS REFER WOMEN TO US SO THEY CAN COME WINS APPROPRIATE TO LIVE IN OUR TRANSITIONAL LIVING FACILITY, WHICH THEY'RE THERE FOR 12 TO 18 MONTHS. THEY COME TO US MANY TIMES IN THEIR CAR WITH THEIR CHILDREN LIVING IN THEIR CAR, AND WE TAKE THEM. WE WORK WITH THEM TO HELP THEM GET THE TRAINING AND THE SUPPORT SERVICES THAT THEY NEED. OF COURSE, THE HOUSING. SO BY THE TIME THEY LEAVE, WE ARE HOPEFUL TO GET THEM FROM A MINIMUM WAGE TO A LIVING WAGE. SO WE TAKE THEM FROM THE SITUATION WHERE THEY'VE COME FROM. HELPFUL. HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THEM TO A POINT WHERE THEY'RE EMOTIONALLY STABLE AND ABLE TO GET A SELF-SUSTAINING JOB. HELLO, MY NAME IS TOM ALEXANDER AND I'M THE FOUNDER OF WINNERS AND I. WHAT WE DO IS WE PARTNER WITH OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.WE PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR THOSE THAT EXIST THAT ARE EXPERIENCING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
FOR EXAMPLE, RECENTLY WE HAD A FAMILY OF FIVE THAT WAS IN A RENTAL CAR AT A GAS STATION WITH NO PLACE TO GO. WE PROVIDED A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, AND WORKING WITH OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WAS ABLE TO ASSIST THEM IN GETTING A HOME. THE YOUNG LADY GOT A JOB, AND THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDED FURNITUR, CLOTHING, AND ETC. SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO. THANK YOU. I'M JENNIFER LAJOY, I'M WITH AGAPE RESOURCE AND ASSISTANCE CENTER WITH BRIAN. AS SHE MENTIONED, WE SUPPORT FAMILIES WHO ARE FLEEING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SINGLE MOM AND WOMEN TRYING TO FIND ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY. AND AGAIN, WE'RE VERY EXCITED BECAUSE NEXT MONTH WILL BE GROUNDBREAKING FOR JERICHO VILLAGE AND BEING ABLE TO EXPAND THE WOMEN THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING. OH, AND I FORGOT TO SAY THAT MEGAN WOULD BE HERE. SHE ACTUALLY IS A RESIDENT HERE IN WYLIE, BUT SHE'S THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT HOPE'S DOOR. BUT A SITUATION CAME UP. WE ALWAYS GOT TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCY, SO IT IS WHAT IT IS. BUT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE RIGHT NOW AND WE ALWAYS USE THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THAT YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATIONS DO. WE'RE VERY EXCITED AS WELL TO SEE THE GROUNDBREAKING FOR JERICHO VILLAGE COMING UP NEXT MONTH. AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THAT WILL AFFORD SOME SOME VERY, VERY DESERVING. AND WOMEN WHO ARE IN NEED OF THAT ADDITIONAL STEP.
FOR THOUGH EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HOUSING COSTS IN COLLIN COUNTY CONTINUE TO ESCALATE, AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE FACING A SITUATION WHERE THEY MAY NOT BE WORKING OR MAY NOT HAVE HELD A JOB THAT CAN PROVIDE FOR THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT PROVIDES THEM THE SECURITY OF ENSURING THAT THEY DON'T END UP HOMELESS ON THE STREET, WITH SEPARATED FAMILIES, AND INSTEAD IT GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF THEIR LIFE, THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES. AND IT ALSO ENSURES THAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REMAIN A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO WE DEFINITELY ARE ARE GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOU GUYS IN THAT. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION TO READ THIS EVENING. YEAH. IF YOU'LL HOLD IT, HELP ME HOLD IT THERE. WHEREAS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH WAS LAUNCHED NATIONWIDE IN OCTOBER OF 1987 AS A WAY TO CONNECT AND UNITE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ISSUES WHILE RAISING AWARENESS FOR THOSE ISSUES. AND WHEREAS THE PROBLEMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE NOT CONFINED TO ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT CUT ACROSS
[00:20:04]
ALL ECONOMIC, RACIAL, GENDER AND SOCIETAL BARRIERS. AND WHEREAS THE CRIME OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VIOLATES THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS OF SAFETY AND DIGNITY. AND WHEREAS, ALTHOUGH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE TOWARD PREVENTING AND ENDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PROVIDING SUPPORT TO SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES, IMPORTANT WORK REMAINS TO BE DONE. AND WHEREAS LOCAL CHURCHES, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS INCLUDING WYLIE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE KEISHA VOSS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE HOPE STORE NEW BEGINNINGS CENTER, WOMEN IN NEED WINNERS AND AGAPE RESOURCE AND ASSISTANCE CENTER WORK TOGETHER EACH DAY TO HELP PREVENT INCIDENTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND TO SUPPORT THE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. NOW, THEREFORE, I, MATTHEW PORTER, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS, ON THIS THE EIGHTH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2024, AM HONORED TO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN WYLIE, TEXAS, AND URGE ALL CITIZENS TO WORK TOGETHER TO HELP BRING AN END TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TRAGEDY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.[PR3. Breast Cancer Awareness Month.]
SO WE ALSO HAVE TWO RECOGNITIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. IT IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. FOR THOSE WHO ARE OUT THERE WHO ARE SURVIVORS OR CURRENT FIGHTERS, WE JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE STRENGTH AND TELL YOU THAT WE ARE WITH YOU DURING THAT FIGHT. AND FOR ALL OF THOSE OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED IN SOME WAY THROUGH BY BREAST CANCER AFFECTING A FAMILY OR A FRIEND MEMBER, JUST ASK THAT WE ALL REMEMBER THAT FIGHT THIS MONTH. WE ALSO WOULD LIKE[Additional Item]
TO RECOGNIZE WORLD DYSLEXIA DAY. DYSLEXIA IS SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS MANY YOUTH AND HAS BEEN ON THE RISE WITH SOME ESTIMATES AS HIGH. AS CLOSE TO 20% OF STUDENTS NOW EXPERIENCE SOME FORM OF DYSLEXIA. SO AGAIN, JUST WANT TO CALL AWARENESS TO THAT AND TO THE AMAZING EFFORTS THAT ARE PUT FORTH IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THOSE INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED. WITH THAT, THAT DOES COMPLETE OUR PRESENTATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS THIS EVENING. I'LL GIVE THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO STEP OUT JUST A SECOND. WE WILL MOVE NOW TO OUR COMMENTS[COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]
ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISHES TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING AN ITEM NOT LISTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WE ASK MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO FILL OUT A FORM IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING IN ORDER TO SPEAK. WE DO LIMIT COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL, SIX MINUTES IF REPRESENTING A GROUP. IN ADDITION, WE REMIND EVERYONE THAT COUNCIL IS NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERSE, DELIBERATE OR TAKE ACTION ON ANY MATTER PRESENTED DURING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION UNDER THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT. WITH THAT SAID, I BELIEVE WE'VE HAD TWO FORMS TURNED IN THIS EVENING. MISS STORM, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.OKAY, SO FIRST I WILL CALL MISS ALEXANDRA ROLFSEN IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES IN WHICH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL. MY A JOY IF YOU WOULD. I APOLOGIZE IF YOU WILL HIT THE LITTLE. THERE YOU GO. PERFECT. YEAH. I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY HOA TODAY. IT'S ME. OKAY, SO JUST YOU JUST ME. SO YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. THEN I GET IT. MY NAME IS ALEXANDRA ROLFSEN. I LIVE IN 1907, EAST FORK LANE, JUST DOWN THE STREET. I SEND YOU ALL AN EMAIL OF WHAT I'M GOING TO BE SPEAKING TODAY, JUST SO WE CAN KIND OF SEE YOU HAVE IT FOR THE RECORD. FIRST, I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I KNEW MY WATER BILL WAS GOING TO BE HIGH, JUST LIKE IT'S ALWAYS HIGH DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. BUT AND I'M FULLY
[00:25:01]
PREPARED TO PAY MY $400 WATER BILL. BUT FIRST, I WANT TO ADDRESS YOU. I KNOW THAT THESE READINGS FOR MONTH OF AUGUST ARE WRONG. THEY'RE INCORRECT. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. ON AUGUST 20TH, IT WAS RANDOM TUESDAY MORNING. IT'S THE WATER METER. SAID THAT I USED THE 2538 GALLONS WITHIN ONE HOUR BETWEEN 1 A.M. AND 2 A.M. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. THAT'S 42 GALLONS A MINUTE. I WOULD HAVE A LAKE IN MY FRONT YARD. ALL OTHER TUESDAYS. THEY'RE CONSISTENT WITH THROUGHOUT THE JULY AND MONTH. MY IRRIGATION DAYS, THEY ARE THURSDAYS AND SUNDAYS. MY SPRINKLERS WERE NOT GOING ON. WE DID NOT HAVE A LEAK OF ANY ANY SORTS. I ALREADY TALKED TO THE UTILITY BILLING THAT I DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH THEM. I ALSO ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A PHONE AND VIA EMAIL WHO DO I NEED TO CONTACT TO DISPUTE THESE READINGS AND DIDN'T GET ANY ANSWERS? I WORKED FOR A COMPANY THAT BUILT ITRON SMART METERS. I KNOW HOW THEY'RE BUILT. I KNOW THE SOFTWARE. THEY I KNOW WE'RE NOT USING ITRON. WE'RE USING NEPTUNE MAC TEN, WHATEVER. I READ ALL THAT, BUT THEY'RE THE SAME THING. ITRON THEY OUTSOURCE THEIRS TO CHINA. SO THAT'S WHY WE STOPPED BUILDING THEM. THEY ARE NOT PERFECT LITTLE GADGETS. I'M A QUALITY FOR THAT, FOR MY COMPANY. AND I WAS I KNEW WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH. MY QUESTIONS TO YOU. CITY OF WYLIE.UTILITY BILLING DEPARTMENTS ARE WHO DO I CONTACT TO DISPUTE READINGS OF THE WATER METER? I WAS TOLD THAT I CANNOT ACCESS HOURLY USAGE. IT HAS TO BE DONE BY REQUEST. WHY CAN I NOT ACCESS HOURLY USAGE ON THE WEBSITE? HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN THE METERS ARE MANUFACTURED, MALFUNCTIONING AND IF THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED? AND CAN I REQUEST A NEW METER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.
OKAY. OUR SECOND INDIVIDUAL THIS EVENING IS MR. DOUG JONES. AND I HAVE HERE THAT YOU'RE REPRESENTING TRINITY VALLEY RANCH. SO YOU WILL HAVE SIX MINUTES IN WHICH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL. AND IF YOU WOULD AGAIN, IF YOU'LL START WITH YOUR NAME AND IT CAN BE THE ORGANIZATION'S ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU. PICTURES WORTH A FEW WORDS. SO WE BROUGHT A WHOLE BOARD FOR THIS EVENING. HOPEFULLY THE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT I'M GOING TO DISCUSS IS HELPFUL.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DOUG JONES. TONIGHT, MR. MAYOR, I'LL BE SPEAKING AGAIN ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY BUSINESS, TRINITY VALLEY RANCH, LOCATED AT 2300 MCMILLAN ROAD. TBR WE CONDUCT EQUESTRIAN BOARDING TRAINING, BREEDING OPERATIONS. WE'RE ALSO AN EVENT CENTER, WHICH IS CRITICAL AS A COMPONENT OF OUR BUSINESS. IN MARCH, WE PRIVATELY RAISED CONCERNS REGARDING THE MCMILLAN ROAD PROJECT TO THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP, SPECIFICALLY MR. TIM PORTER AND MR. BRANT PARKER. NOTHING I WOULD SAY PRODUCTIVE FOLLOWED THAT DISCUSSION. I REMEMBER VERY CLEARLY IN THE ROOM ADJACENT TO THIS ONE, BEING ACCUSED OF BEING AN AMBULANCE CHASER BY A MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL. AND SO TWO WEEKS AGO, I DECIDED TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS MORE PUBLICLY IN THIS FORUM IN ORDER TO BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THE SITUATION. THAT'S UNFOLDING ON THE ROAD. I FELT THEN, AND I FEEL NOW. THIS IS A UNIQUE ISSUE TO TRINITY VALLEY RANCH AS A BUSINESS, BUT IT'S ALSO AN ISSUE THAT REFLECTS ON THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE OTHERS IN THIS ROOM AND THE CITIZENS OF WYLIE. SO SPEAKING TO THE COUNCIL LAST TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS AGO WAS STRANGE. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I DIDN'T FEEL THAT EVENING LIKE THERE WAS MUCH ENGAGEMENT. NO EYE CONTACT, AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THERE WAS GOING TO BE ANY FOLLOW UP, WHICH THERE WASN'T UNTIL LAST NIGHT AROUND 5 P.M, MR. PARKER POSTED ON THE WYLIE FACEBOOK PAGE AN UPDATE WHICH FELT A LITTLE BIT FORCED, BUT IT WAS BETTER THAN NOTHING. NOW, THIS ATTEMPTS TO BE A BIT OF A SLEIGHT OF HAND, AND IT'S BEING CALLED OUT FOR MANY IN THE COMMENTS BY WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS, AND I BELIEVE IT'S AN ATTEMPT TO COVER UP AND DEFLECT RESPONSIBILITY. AND THIS IS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING. I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT WHY SO FEW CITIZENS, OR I BELIEVE IT, HIGHLIGHTS WHY SO FEW CITIZENS HAVE TRUST IN WHAT HAS BECOME SEEMINGLY A SWAMP OF BUREAUCRACY THAT EVEN HAS COME TO OUR OUR LOCAL TOWN HERE IN WYLIE, TEXAS. SO TONIGHT I'M GOING TO SPEAK MUCH MORE DIRECTLY THAN I DID
[00:30:01]
TWO WEEKS AGO. AND, YOU KNOW, AS A PERSONAL NOTE, I'M A DAD. I'M A WEST POINT GRADUATE. I SERVED IN THE MILITARY AS AN ARMY RANGER. I'VE DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN MULTIPLE TIMES. I'M A BUSINESSMAN. I UNDERSTAND THAT LEADERSHIP IS NOT ALWAYS EASY. TOUGH DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE.PROGRESS MUST CONTINUE. I MENTIONED THAT TWO WEEKS AGO THAT I BELIEVE THE ROAD PROJECT IS GOOD FOR THE CITY, BUT WITH LEADERSHIP COMES RESPONSIBILITY AND I BELIEVE YOU ALL HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING. I'M GOING TO START BY READING FROM THE CITY'S OWN ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS. SECTION 102 94 REGARDING GENERAL RIGHTS OF WAY STATES. WORK IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY SHALL BE DONE IN A MANNER THAT CAUSES THE LEAST INTERFERENCE WITH THE RIGHTS OF PROPERTY OWNERS AND RESIDENTS. IT ALSO GOES ON TO STATE THAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE CONTRACTORS SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE TRAVEL AND USE OF PUBLIC PLACES BY THE PUBLIC DURING CONSTRUCTION, AND SHALL NOT OBSTRUCT OR IMPEDE TRAFFIC.
NOW, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE LAST YEAR THIS COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO CLOSE MCMILLAN ROAD. THIS DECISION DISREGARDED THE OPTION TO LEAVE THE S CURVE OPEN USING FLAGMEN TO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUATION OF TRAFFIC DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, AND THIS DECISION WAS NOTED IN THE CITY'S OWN RECORDS AS A WAY TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY ON THE BACKS OF OUR BUSINESS AND THE CITIZENS OF WYLIE WHO ARE LISTENING TO THIS AND BEHIND ME. IN OTHER WORDS, THE CITY BROKE ITS OWN LAW, AND NOW THE ROAD IS SHUT DOWN. DILAPIDATED, OVERGROWN. THE BULLOCKS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO KEEP THEIR PASTURES UP FRONT CLEAN FOR YEARS, AND YET IT'S OVERGROWN BEHIND SCHEDULE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OVER BUDGET. SO THERE'S FOUR ITEMS I'M GOING TO RESPECTFULLY DEMAND THE COUNCIL ADDRESS PUBLICLY IN THE FORM OF A WRITTEN STATEMENT. ITEM NUMBER ONE IS REGARDING MARCH 20TH, THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS ISSUED A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER. IS THE CITY PREPARED TO MAKE PUBLIC THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS LETTER AND STATE THE TRUE REASON FOR THE STOPPING OF CONSTRUCTION? WHY HAS THIS INFORMATION BEEN WITHHELD FROM THE PUBLIC UNTIL RECENTLY? AND WHY DID THE CITY STATE PUBLICLY THAT CONSTRUCTION WOULD RESUME IN SEPTEMBER? WEATHER DELAYS, ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDINGS, WATERWAYS, ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT AS REASONS, BUT WE'RE OVER 200 DAYS WITH NO PROGRESS ON THE ROAD. ITEM TWO REGARDING POTENTIAL FINES OR OTHER PENALTIES THE CITY HAS INCURRED IN THE FORM OF COST. THE CITY, THE CITY, I BELIEVE, SHOULD IMMEDIATELY MAKE PUBLIC ANY FINES OR PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHUTTING DOWN OF THE ROAD. DETAILS SHOULD INCLUDE THE AMOUNT IF TAXPAYER DOLLARS WILL BE USED TO PAY IT. AND WHY HAS THE BUDGET ON THE WEBSITE FOR THE CITY GONE FROM ROUGHLY $19 MILLION TO OVER $24 MILLION, MR. PARKER IS QUOTED IN A PUBLIC NEWS ARTICLE ON SEPTEMBER 12TH STATING THERE WERE NO ARTIFACTS FOUND TO PRESENT CONSTRUCT TO PREVENT CONSTRUCTION AND YET ON OCTOBER 7TH, HE POSTED, I BELIEVE THIS WAS LAST NIGHT, THAT THE DELAY IS DUE IN PART TO ARTIFACTS. WE'RE JUST CURIOUS WHICH ONE IT IS. IT ALSO SEEMS VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THE CITY HEAD ENGINEER AND HEAD OF CONSTRUCTION HAVE BOTH MOVED ON SINCE THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS SHUT DOWN THE PROJECT WHERE THESE DEPARTURES, THE RESULT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION. OR MAYBE WERE THEY AN ATTEMPT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN S CURVE SCANDAL? ITEM THREE REGARDING DIGITAL WAYFINDING TO OUR PROPERTY, THE CITY'S DECISION TO CLOSE THE ROAD HAS RESULTED IN GPS. GOOGLE MAPS AND OTHER SIMILAR SYSTEMS NO LONGER DIRECTING THE PUBLIC TO OUR PROPERTY. HOW CAN ANY BUSINESS IF ANYONE HERE WAS OPERATING A BUSINESS OR TRYING TO FIND A BUSINESS, HOW WOULD THEY BE EXPECTED TO OPERATE WITHOUT CLEAR AND CONSISTENT ACCESS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS? PHYSICALLY AND DIGITALLY? FOR MONTHS, YOU'VE ESSENTIALLY CONDEMNED OUR PROPERTY AND OUR BUSINESS THROUGH THESE ACTIONS. AND ITEM FOUR REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF CAMERAS ON OUR PROPERTY, I ADDRESSED THIS LAST TIME. I WANT TO STATE AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD, THIS SUMMER, AFTER WE REQUESTED ACTION FROM THE CITY, SOMEONE ON THE COUNCIL OR WITHIN THE CITY APPROVED THE INSTALLATION OF CITY CAMERAS ON OUR PROPERTY. THIS REQUIRED TRESPASSING AFTER BUSINESS HOURS, AND WE HAVE CAMERAS DIRECTLY POINTED AT OUR DRIVEWAY AS SOME SORT OF INTIMIDATION TACTIC. YOU CAN SPY ALL YOU WANT. YOU CAN SAY IT'S FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, BUT MY FAMILY AND I WON'T BE BULLIED AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN THESE CAMERAS MUST BE. THEY SHOULD BE. IF THERE'S ANY COURAGE OR INTEGRITY LEFT REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. MR. JONES, I'LL HAVE TO ASK. I'M GOING TO FINISH THIS, MR. MAYOR. I'M. YOU'VE. I'VE ALREADY LET YOU GO QUITE A BIT BEYOND YOUR SIX MINUTES. OKAY, WELL, THE LAST THING I'LL SAY, MR. MAYOR, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED I GRADUATED FROM WEST POINT AND THERE'S A LOT OF TRADITIONS. ONE IS THE CADET PRAYER. OKAY? AND THERE'S A VERY FAMOUS LINE IN THAT PRAYER THAT ASKS THE ALMIGHTY TO GIVE US THE COURAGE TO HELP US CHOOSE THE HARDER RIGHT INSTEAD OF THE EASIER WRONG, AND TO NEVER BE CONTENT WITH A HALF TRUTH WHEN A WHOLE TRUTH CAN BE ONE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS BODY HAS AN OBLIGATION TO
[00:35:02]
BE THE STANDARD BEARERS FOR TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS FEELS LIKE A BAD DECISION, TRENDING TOWARDS A COVER UP AND IT'S FILLED AT BEST RIGHT NOW WITH HALF TRUTHS TO THE PUBLIC.EACH DAY THAT PASSES WITHOUT RESOLUTION, OUR BUSINESS IS INCURRING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE.
WE EXPECT FORMAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THESE CONCERNS AND A CLEAR TIMELINE FOR RESPONSES TO EACH.
I TRUST TODAY WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF THAT PROCESS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISS STORM, I BELIEVE THOSE WERE THE ONLY TWO ITEMS THAT WERE REQUESTED TO OR ONLY TO NON-AGENDA SPEAKERS THIS EVENING, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
