AT THIS TIME, THE FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS UNDER PRESENTATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS,
[PR1. Scenic City Silver Level Certification.]
AND WE WILL BE RECEIVING OUR SCENIC CITY SILVER LEVEL CERTIFICATION. SO THOSE WHO ARE HERE FOR THAT, IF YOU WILL MEET ME DOWN FRONT.YOU KNEW THEY WERE ALL GOING TO TURN AROUND AND POINT AT YOU AND TRY TO HIDE. SO YOU CAN SEE THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE ASSEMBLED HERE IN FRONT OF ME THIS EVENING. THIS CERTIFICATION IS ONE THAT I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. I BELIEVE IT'S A MULTI-PAGE SCORING SYSTEM IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR IT. THE SILVER SCENIC CITY CERTIFICATION, BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT AS QUICK AS I CAN GO THROUGH. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE AWARDED AS ONE OF, I BELIEVE, 15 NEW CITIES THAT RECEIVED THAT DESIGNATION FOR THE TIME PERIOD FOR 2024, 2024 THROUGH 2029. AND AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT LOOKS AT SEVERAL FACTORS, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS REPRESENTED UP HERE THIS EVENING. IT HIGHLIGHTS A DEDICATION TO PRESERVING NATURAL BEAUTY WHILE ENRICHING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS. THEY REFER TO OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN AREA, OUR WELL-MAINTAINED PARKS, SIDEWALKS, STREETSCAPES, AND SIGNAGE. IN GENERAL, IT IS ABOUT SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AND HAVING EFFORTS OF CREATING WELCOMING OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS FOR OUR CITIZENS AND OUR VISITORS TO THE CITY. AND SO THAT IS WHY YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE UP HERE PARKS AND RECREATION. WE HAVE ENGINEERING PUBLIC WORKS BECAUSE IT'S A COMBINATION OF THEM AND ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES ACROSS THESE DEPARTMENTS WHO WORK SO MUCH AND SO HARD TO MAKE IT SPECIAL FOR EVERYONE THAT LIVES HERE. I THINK PEOPLE SOMETIMES TAKE FOR GRANTED THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT IS COMPLETED WE'VE PUT IN. IS IT MILES OF SIDEWALKS? NOW, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SOME CITIES WILL REPLACE YOUR
[00:05:06]
SIDEWALK AND YOU GET A BILL IN THE MAIL. NOT KIDDING. IT'S A FULL BILL FOR THE FULL COST.OTHER CITIES ARE MORE GENEROUS. THEY SPLIT IT 50 OVER 50 WITH YOU. SO WHATEVER THE CONTRACTOR CHARGES TO REPLACE CONCRETE, WHICH, IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THE MARKET, IS NOT CHEAP THESE DAYS, GET SPLIT WITH THE HOMEOWNER INSTEAD. WILEY HAS BEEN ABLE TO, THROUGH THE GREAT TEAMS THAT WE HAVE AND THE SUPPORT OF THE GENTLEMAN BEHIND ME ON COUNCIL AND OUR STAFF FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WORKED ON PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE AND REPAIR THOSE NOT JUST AT PARKS, BUT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR STREETS. WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE BONDS THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF OUR VOTERS. AND AGAIN, THE HARD WORK THAT WE HAVE OF OUR TEAMS THAT ARE STANDING HERE TO ENSURE THAT THEY REMAIN IN GOOD ORDER TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE REPLACING PANELS WHEN NECESSARY, THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH AND FIXING CURBS AND OTHERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. OUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN UPGRADING OUR SURFACES IN OUR PLAYGROUNDS, THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE PROPER GREENERY. WE HAVE TREES, OUR FIELDS GET UPDATED. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE DONE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. THEY BRING THESE REQUESTS FOR ENHANCEMENTS. AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE WILEY WHAT IT IS AND THE REASON THAT WE CAN WIN A RECOGNITION LIKE THIS. AND THERE ARE UNDER 200 CITIES IN THE STATE THAT HAVE THIS DESIGNATION. SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST GO AND HAND EVERY CITY AND WE ALL SMILE AND TAKE A PICTURE. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO IT AND A VERY, VERY STRICT GRADING SYSTEM. SO I KNOW I'VE SAID A LOT, SO I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU ALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT AS WELL. HI, I'M ANNA SACCO, RECREATION, PARKS AND RECREATION SUPERVISOR. I'M REALLY PROUD THAT WE GOT THIS SILVER CERTIFICATION. IT SHOWS THAT WE HAVE GOT A LOT OF REALLY GOOD ORDINANCES IN PLACE AND THINGS AND RULES AND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT WE HAVE. AND THAT WE FOLLOW THOSE. AND IT JUST SHOWS JUST I'M REALLY PROUD OF OUR CITY AND HOW WELL WE'RE PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE. OH ME TOO. ALL FOUR OF YOU GET A CHANCE. WELL, MY NAME IS BRANT STOWERS, ASSISTANT PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. AND REALLY, MY ROLE IN THIS WAS SUPPORTING ANIKA. SHE. SHE'S ACTUALLY THE ONE THAT CAME TOGETHER WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, GATHERED ALL THE INFORMATION AND SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION. WORKED WITH THE GROUP TO GET US THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS AWARD. SO I JUST WANT TO COMMEND HER. SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB. OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T THINK I DID ANYTHING ELSE, DO I? HELLO, I'M JANINE ALCALA. I'M THE ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE CITY. AGAIN, THANK YOU TO STAFF, SPECIFICALLY ANIKA, FOR ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT IN SUBMITTING FOR THIS. AND IT IS DEFINITELY AN HONOR TO BE ON THE CITY STAFF, TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, TO SERVE MY HOMETOWN. AND FOR US TO BE AWARDED SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS VERY, VERY SPECIAL. SO THANK YOU. I'M TOMMY WARE. I'M THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. LIKE THE MAYOR HAD SAID, YOU KNOW, WE DO A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, SIDEWALK UPGRADES, SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT. OUR MAIN FOCUS NOW IS, IS MOBILITY AROUND THE CITY. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ADA, A LOT OF THE ADA RAMPS AROUND THE CITY. WE HAVE MONEY THAT'S BUILT INTO OUR BUDGET TO TRY TO HELP THAT, TO TRY TO GET A MORE WALKABILITY AROUND THE CITY. BUT WE JUST THANK THAT YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, REALLY TOOK THE LEAD ON THIS PROJECT AND DOING ALL THE SUBMISSIONS FOR US.
THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS.
SO THAT DOES COMPLETE OUR PRESENTATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS THIS EVENING. WE ARE GOING TO
[COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]
[00:10:01]
MOVE TO OUR COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT THIS EVENING AND WISHES TO SPEAK ON AN ITEM THAT IS NOT LISTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WE ASK THAT YOU COMPLETE A FORM IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING. AND THEN IN DOING SO, WE WILL LIMIT COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL SIX IF OFFICIALLY REPRESENTING A GROUP, WE DO REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT UNDER THE LAW OF THE TEXAS OPEN MEETING ACT, THE COUNCIL CANNOT CONVERSE OR DISCUSS ANYTHING THAT IS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA. HOWEVER, WE CAN DIRECT STAFF TO ASSIST WITH QUESTIONS OR ISSUES THAT CITIZENS BRING FORTH. AT THIS TIME, MISS STORM, I BELIEVE WE'VE HAD ONE FORM THAT I RECEIVED THAT WAS TURNED IN. THAT'S CORRECT. MAYOR. OKAY. SO, MISTER BOBBY HEATH, AND IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR. IF YOU'LL HIT THE SPEAKING HEAD THERE FOR US AND THEN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE TIME IN WHICH TO ADDRESS US. OKAY. BOBBY HEATH, 425 NORTH WINDING OAKS, WYLIE, TEXAS. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SILVER CERTIFICATION. I ACTUALLY JUST CAME TO THANK TOMMY WARE. I WAS HERE AT THE LAST MEETING, AND I DON'T KNOW IF TOMMY'S STILL HERE OR NOT, BUT THANK YOU. I WAS AT THE LAST MEETING. THEY WERE DOING SOME WORK ON THE SIDEWALK AND NEXT TO MY HOUSE, AND THEY HAD SPLASHED JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CONCRETE ON A RETAINING WALL. AND SO I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT. VERY NEXT DAY THEY CAME OUT, FIXED THAT, PUT IN NEW GRASS. SO REALLY WHEN THEY WERE DONE, IT WAS BETTER THAN BEFORE THEY HAD GOTTEN THERE. SO AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO THANK PUBLIC WORKS AND ALL THE WORK THAT THEY DID. SO THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. MISS STORM, I DO BELIEVE THAT IS THE ONLY FORM THAT WE HAD FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS THIS EVENING. SO WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE US[CONSENT AGENDA]
FROM COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. COUNCIL, IF WE HAVE ANY ITEMS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PULL FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION, CONSIDERATION, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, DO SO. AT THIS TIME I AM GOING TO PULL A NUMBER OF THEM. NOT GETTING INTO A LOT OF CONVERSATION, BUT O P Q. R AND S THIS EVENING. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION? AND IF THERE ARE NONE, I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE REMAINING ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS A THROUGH N AND ITEM T. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN STRANG? THANK YOU. MAYOR. I WILL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND, AS STATED TO APPROVE THOSE ITEMS. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION[O. Consider, and act upon, the award of contract #W2025-56 to WEBUILDFUN INC. for replacement playground equipment at Riverway Park in the estimated amount of $70,000.00 through a cooperative purchasing contract with Buyboard and authorizing the City Manager to execute any and all necessary documents.]
CARRIES SIX ZERO WITH COUNCILMAN HOOVER ABSENT. WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE INTO OUR REGULAR AGENDA, WHICH WILL START WITH ITEM. OH. SO ITEM O IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE AWARD OF CONTRACT W 20 2556 TO WE BUILD FUND INCORPORATED FOR REPLACEMENT OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AT RIVERWAY PARK IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF $70,000 THROUGH A COOPERATIVE PURCHASING CONTRACT WITH BY BOARD AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. I KNOW SEVERAL OF THESE. MR. STOWERS ARE YOUR DEPARTMENT? YES, SIR. AND I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. PART OF THIS, THOUGH, IS JUST TO ENSURE THAT IT DOES COME TO THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO IMPROVE AND REPLACE THINGS LIKE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. SO IF YOU COULD TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS, IS A REPLACEMENT THERE AT RIVERWAY PARK, CORRECT? YES, SIR. SO THIS SO EVERY YEAR WE'RE TRYING TO REPLACE ANYWHERE BETWEEN TWO, SOMETIMES ONE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE. RIVERWAY. AND I BELIEVE THE NEXT ONE THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT, SAGE CREEK, THEY'RE TWO OF OUR SMALLER NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS OR OUR PLAYGROUNDS. THESE ARE JUST YOUR SMALLER 2 TO 5, 5 TO 12 STRUCTURES, YOU KNOW, TO SERVICE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THESE AREN'T GOING TO HAVE THE PORT IN PLACE. TYPICALLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, WE DON'T DO THE PORT AND PLACE SURFACING. THESE ARE THE ENGINEERED WOOD FIBERS OR WHAT SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY THE WOOD CHIPS. BUT TYPICALLY ON THESE OUR OUR STAFF DOES A LOT OF WORK. WE'LL END UP RIPPING OUT THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE OURSELF. WE'LL EVEN DIG IT DOWN TO THE NINE INCHES THAT IT NEEDS TO BE. AND THIS PRICE THAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE, WE DO THAT SO THAT WE CAN GET MORE EQUIPMENT. AND SO THE COMPANY WILL ACTUALLY COME IN, THEY'LL INSTALL THE EQUIPMENT AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND REDO THE SURFACING. SO THIS IS KIND OF TYPICAL WHAT WE DO. SO MAXIMIZES WHAT WE'RE GETTING FOR THE FOR THE PUBLIC IN SO TO SPEAK WITH THE DOLLARS WE HAVE. YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EXPLAINING THAT, MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU. MAYOR. HEY, BRANT, ON THESE PLAYGROUNDS, AS WE BEGIN TO RENOVATE THE PLAYGROUNDS, ARE WE ALSO AT THE SAME TIME ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE MAXIMUM USABILITY[00:15:01]
ACROSS THE BOARD? SO ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL AGES AND FOR ANY PHYSICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT WOULD BE WITH THE CHILD. SO THEY DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF WE HAVE SWINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.WE HAVE ACCESSIBLE AREAS WHERE THEY CAN ALL PLAY. SO IT'S VERY INCLUSIVE. YES, SIR. SO WE DO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THEM ARE AS MANY INCLUSIVE COMPONENTS THAT WE CAN PUT ON THEM. THEY ALL HAVE ADA TRANSPORT PADS TO WHERE YOU CAN GET FROM A WHEELCHAIR ONTO THE PLAYGROUND. NOW, NOT ALL OF THEM ARE FULLY INCLUSIVE, BUT WE TRY TO ADD AS MANY INCLUSIVE COMPONENTS AS WE CAN, WHETHER THAT'S PLAY STRUCTURES UNDERNEATH THE, YOU KNOW, THE PLAYGROUNDS OR OTHER LITTLE PLAY PANELS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT WE'RE ALWAYS ADDING SOMETHING. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. OKAY. COUNCILMAN MALIK. THANK YOU. ARE WE ADDING MORE? I GUESS ELEMENTS TO THE PLAYGROUND, OR ARE WE JUST KIND OF REPLACING STRAIGHT UP? WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE? HAVE WE GOTTEN ANY INPUT FROM THE AREA AROUND OF. MAYBE THEY'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING ELSE VERSUS WHAT IT WAS. THEY'RE JUST KIND OF A THOUGHT PROCESS OR IT'S JUST WE'RE DOING A STRAIGHT SWAP. SO IT'S MAINLY JUST UPDATING. SO THESE THESE PLAYGROUNDS ARE SPECIFICALLY RIVERWAY AND SAGE CREEK ARE KIND OF THE ONES KIND OF OUR OLDEST ONES THAT WE HAVE.
SO WE'RE UPDATING THEM WITH JUST NEW EQUIPMENT, DIFFERENT CLIMBERS, MORE SLIDES. WE DON'T TYPICALLY GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND GET FEEDBACK ON WHAT THEY WANT. NOW WE HAVE HAD SOME REACH OUT TO US, TELL US ABOUT CERTAIN COMPONENTS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE, AND WE DO MAKE SURE THAT WE IMPLEMENT THOSE, BUT NOT A NOT A PROCESS THAT WE DO. I GUESS IT'S MORE OF JUST A FEEDBACK THAT WE GET. SO DID THAT HELP ANSWER? YEAH. YEAH. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WITH THAT SAID, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I'LL BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM.
COUNCILMAN STRANG. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY. WE MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. CAST YOUR VOTE.
[P. Consider, and act upon, the award of contract #W2025-57 to WEBUILDFUN INC. for replacement playground equipment at Sage Creek Park in the estimated amount of $59,870.00 through a cooperative purchasing contract with Buyboard and authorizing the City Manager to execute any and all necessary documents.]
MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. WITH COUNCILMAN HOOVER ABSENT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM P, WHICH IS THIS SIMILAR TO ITEM O, EXCEPT IN THIS CASE, IT IS FOR SAGE CREEK PARK. SO, MR. STOWERS, I THINK YOU PROBABLY ANSWERED MOST OF OUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ON THE LAST ONE, BUT POINTING OUT AS WELL THAT SAGE CREEK PARK WILL BE IS ALSO GOING TO GET AN UPGRADE AND REFURBISHMENT THERE.SO COUNCIL, UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON ITEM P.
COUNCILMAN DUKE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND IT. WE DO HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
[Q. Consider, and act upon, the award of contract #W2025-58 Founders Park Phase II Soccer Field Renovations to Grand Landscapes and Athletics (GLA) in the amount of $598,392.00 through a cooperative purchasing contract with Buyboard and authorizing the City Manager to execute any and all necessary documents.]
MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM R OR Q, I APOLOGIZE, WHICH IS CONSIDERING AND ACTING UPON THE AWARD OF CONTRACT W 20 2558 FOUNDERS PARK PHASE TWO SOCCER FIELD RENOVATIONS TO GRAND LANDSCAPES AND ATHLETICS GLA IN THE AMOUNT OF $598,392 THROUGH A COOPERATIVE PURCHASING CONTRACT WITH BY BOARD AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. SO I KNOW WE HAD STARTED FIELD RENOVATIONS OVER AT FOUNDERS ON KIND OF THE SOCCER SLASH FOOTBALL FIELDS. I BELIEVE A LOT OF THEM ARE JOINTLY USED. AND THIS IS THE NEXT PHASE IN THAT, CORRECT? YES, SIR. YEP. YES. SO THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY A LOT CHEAPER TO THAN OUR PREVIOUS ONE. SO THE ONE THAT WE DID, THE NORTHERN FIELDS, WHICH WERE PREDOMINANTLY USED BY SOCCER. BUT FOOTBALL DOES USE ONE OF THEM. THAT ONE WAS A RIGHT AT $1 MILLION. WHAT WE DID ON THAT ONE WAS WE DID A LOT OF UPFRONT IRRIGATION, IRRIGATION PUMP POWER FOR THAT ENTIRE AREA. THE REASON WHY WE DID THIS IS FOR FUTURE EXPANSION IF WE DECIDE TO PUT A PARKING LOT. I KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOWN THE ROAD FOR DESIGN WORK, TO TRY TO GET MORE PARKING AT FOUNDERS. BUT WE DID ALL OF THAT UPFRONT, ALL THAT POWER, THE PUMP. I MEAN, THAT WAS A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO THAT'S WHY YOU DO SEE THIS ONE A LITTLE CHEAPER. WE DID ASK FOR $1 MILLION FOR THIS RENOVATION. IT CAME IN 600,000. SO THERE IS SOME SAVINGS THERE. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THOSE SAVINGS BECAUSE WE DID A LOT OF THAT WORK UP FRONT. BUT IT'S AN EXCITING ONE. I KNOW THIS IS PREDOMINANTLY GOING TO BE FOOTBALL, BUT SOCCER WILL BE USING THESE AS WELL. SO IT IS GOING TO SERVE BOTH OF THOSE YOUTH SPORTS GROUPS. OKAY. WELL I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE OFTEN HEAR FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS ON CONTINUING TO PROVIDE IMPROVED PLAYING SURFACES FOR[00:20:05]
ALL OF THE KIDS HERE IN TOWN WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THOSE VARIOUS SPORTS. SO GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'RE NOT ONLY DID WHAT DID IT GET APPROVED DURING BUDGET, BUT THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT. COUNCILMAN MALIKAI. WELL, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS AND STAYING WAY UNDER THE BUDGET ON THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S NECESSARY. FOUNDER'S PLAZA IS ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS, SPECIFICALLY YOUNG LADIES THAT GO AND PLAY BASEBALL AND SOCCER AND A LOT OF THOSE TEAMS. AND THE FIELDS WERE NOT ADEQUATE, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF IRRIGATION AND THE GAPS DURING SUMMERTIME, HOT WEATHER'S THE GAPS ON THE GROUND THAT THEY THE FEET SOMETIMES GET TANGLED AND YOU COULD SPRAIN YOUR ANKLES AND WHATNOT. SO I WANT TO REALLY THANK YOU. AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU WITH THE SAVINGS MAYBE WE LOOK AT SINCE WE HAVE IT UNDER THE BUDGET, WE LOOK AT MAYBE USING WHATEVER WE HAVE LEFT TO DO SOME OF THE OTHER FIELDS THAT WE HAVE AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS, MAYBE THAT WE CAN FIT WITHIN THAT SAVINGS THAT YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO DO SINCE IT'S UNDER THE BUDGET. SO THE MORE THAT WE CAN DO, THE FASTER WE CAN DO ON THE FOUNDER'S PLAZA. I THINK ALL OUR LITTLE ONES WOULD BE VERY HAPPY WITH IT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL. OKAY.THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THEN I'D BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION. COUNCILMAN MALIKAI. MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND IT. MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. WE'LL
[R. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2024-32(R) authorizing the City Manager of the City of Wylie, Texas, to execute an Interlocal Agreement by and between the City of Wylie and the City of Murphy for a shared trail connection – Maxwell Creek Trail Connection.]
MOVE TO ITEM R. THIS IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 2432 R, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS, TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF WYLIE AND THE CITY OF MURPHEY FOR A SHARED TRAIL CONNECTION. MAXWELL CREEK TRAIL CONNECTION. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD. I KNOW MURPHY IS PUTTING IN A LARGE TRAIL SYSTEM THAT'S INTERCONNECTED TO NEARBY CITIES AND WILL THEN CONNECT TO US. IF I'M READING IT CORRECTLY, THIS IS SIMPLY GRANTING THEIR CONTRACTOR THE ABILITY TO FINISH THAT CONNECTION WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. YES, SIR. AND THEN WE JUST TAKE OVER THE LONG TERM MAINTENANCE FOR THE PORTION IN THE CITY. YES, SIR. SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A PORTION THAT IS GOING TO BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY. SO OFF OF MCCREERY, WE'VE GOT TO GET THE CROSSWALK ACROSS MERCURY ROAD. SO THAT IS THAT LITTLE CONNECTION INSIDE THE MEDIAN. AND THEN WE HAVE TO CONNECT TO OUR REGIONAL TRAIL TO. SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF WORK. I DO PLAN ON GETTING PRICING AND BRINGING THAT TO A, YOU KNOW, A FUTURE COUNCIL MEETING. SO OKAY. BUT YES, YOU ARE CORRECT. THERE'S ABOUT 30 FOOT OF THEIR TRAIL SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO BE IN WYLIE. AND THEY'RE ASKING TO BASICALLY JUST USE THEIR CONTRACTOR, PAY FOR IT, GET IT ALL THE WAY TO MERCURY ROAD. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. AND THEN THAT HELPS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR PLAN IS FOR THE CONNECTION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MCCREERY THERE. YES, SIR. AND THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE AN EXCITING ONE. I MEAN, THIS IS HOPEFULLY I DON'T NERD OUT TOO MUCH ON IT, BUT IT'S A IT IS EXCITING CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT WE MADE OUR CONNECTION UP TO MCCREERY ROAD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE DID THE WOODBRIDGE DEVELOPMENT BACK THERE BEHIND TARGET, AND THIS WAS THE ONLY PIECE LEFT WAS, WHICH WAS ABOUT 90% IN THE CITY OF MURPHY, THE ONLY PIECE THAT WAS GOING TO CONNECT WYLIE ALL THE WAY TO BRECKENRIDGE PARK IN RICHARDSON. SO THAT'S PRETTY EXCITING. YEAH, NO, I THINK IT'S GREAT. IT WILL OPEN UP A LOT OF POTENTIAL POSSIBILITIES FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO GO FOR A LONG WALK, JOG, RUN, BIKE RIDE, OR EVEN JUST BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, ON A NICE DAY, WALK THE KIDS DOWN TO THE PARK THERE IN RICHARDSON AND ENJOY THAT AREA. ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR. I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN? DUKE, I APPROVE. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND COUNCIL.PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. SO WITH THAT, WE WILL NOW MOVE TO THE LAST
[S. Consider, and act upon, a Final Plat of Villas at Kreymer creating 67 residential lots and five Homeowners Association lots on 21.91 acres, generally located on Kreymer Lane approximately 1400’ north of E. Stone Road]
ITEM THAT WAS PULLED, WHICH IS ITEM S, AND I KNOW THAT I JUST WANTED TO ASK A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS. MUST BE MISS ALLEY OR MR. HASKINS. MR. HASKINS ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS CONSIDERING AND ACTING UPON A FINAL PLAT OF VILLAS AT KRAMER, CREATING 67 RESIDENTIAL LOTS, FIVE HOA LOTS ON 21.91 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED ON KRAMER LANE, APPROXIMATELY 1400FT NORTH OF EAST STONE ROAD. SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH WHERE THIS IS LOCATED. AND I KNOW FROM READING AND THEN JUST THE SIGNS THAT I'VE SEEN FOR SIX YEARS PLUS THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY SERENE[00:25:06]
VILLAS, I BELIEVE, IS WHAT THEY CALLED IT, BUT IT WAS A SERENE HOUSING PROJECT. YES, SIR.WITHOUT GETTING INTO ANY OF THOSE DETAILS, SO HAS THIS BEEN CHANGED AND BEEN KIND OF MOVED UNDER THE REST OF KRAMER THAT IT BACKS UP TO THE LARGER KRAMER PROJECT? IT'S STILL THE ORIGINAL OWNER. OKAY. SO THEY'RE JUST RENAMING IT. YES, SIR. OKAY. BUT NO CHANGES TO THE ZONING, THOUGH, OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. NO, SIR. IT'S STRAIGHT ZONING. OKAY, SO IT IS A SEPARATE HOA FROM THE KRAMER ASSOCIATION BEHIND IT. YES, SIR. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO CHECK. JUST BECAUSE WHILE THE NAME CHANGED, I WASN'T AWARE THAT IT HAD CHANGED HANDS. SO I AS BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, IT HAS NOT CHANGED HANDS. OKAY. THE OWNERS ARE STILL THE SAME. AND I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE MET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PLAT. YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THAT. SO WITH THAT COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE FOR STAFF ON THIS ONE? IF NOT, I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, I'LL SECOND IT. MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO
[1. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2024-44 to abandon Right-of-Way being a 1.279 acre tract of land in the City of Wylie’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction formerly part of Stone Road/FM 544]
ITEM NUMBER ONE THIS EVENING. AND ITEM NUMBER ONE IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024. DASH 44 TO ABANDON RIGHT OF WAY. BEING A 1.279 ACRE TRACT OF LAND IN THE CITY OF WILEY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. FORMERLY PART OF STONE ROAD. FM 544. THANK YOU.MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR THE CITY TO ABANDON WHAT WAS THE OLD FM 544 STONE ROAD CURVE BEFORE THAT BECAME A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION? THE CITY CURRENTLY OWNS THAT RIGHT OF WAY. IT'S ABOUT 1.3 ACRES AS MENTIONED. THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST. THE APPLICANT OWNS BOTH SIDES. THE APPLICANT OWNS ALL OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY AROUND. WHAT OF THE CURVE? EXCEPT OBVIOUSLY WHERE IT CONNECTS INTO THE EXISTING STONE ROAD AND EXISTING FM 544 AREA.
BECAUSE OF THAT, IF THE CITY WERE TO ABANDON THAT PROPERTY AND SELL IT BACK TO THE APPLICANT, THEN THEY COULD MAKE BETTER USE OF THAT CORNER. THAT PROPERTY IS IN THE ETJ. THE APPLICANT IS ASKING, AS THEY ARE ALLOWED TO, THAT THE CITY WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT OF A APPRAISAL AND THEY'RE OFFERING $100 FOR THE PROPERTY. WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I CAN. AND THE APPLICANT, THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE THIS EVENING. SO I THINK MY FIRST QUESTION ON THAT ONE WOULD BE BECAUSE THIS GREATLY PREDATES MY TIME IN THE CITY, WHEN THAT STRAIGHTENING OCCURRED WAS THE NEW RIGHT OF WAY THAT ACQUIRED FROM THAT SAME PROPERTY. THERE WAS SOME RIGHT OF WAY FOR UTILITIES AND THINGS THAT WERE ACQUIRED FROM THAT PROPERTY.
YES, SIR. OKAY. AND THE REASON I ASK IS JUST I ASSUME THAT THAT WENT THROUGH AN APPRAISAL PROCESS AND AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AT THE TIME IS WHAT WAS PAID. BUT SURE. I, I CAN'T SAY YES WITH I'M ASSUMING IT DID, BUT I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE. OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN MALIKI.
THANK YOU. JASON. WOULD THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY SERVE US TODAY, IN THE FUTURE, ANYTHING THAT WE WOULD NEED SO AROUND THAT AREA. YES, SIR. YOU KNOW THAT IT WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY TO HAVE IT. OR BEING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS BOTH SIDES OF WITH THIS SMALL PIECE OF TRACK THAT IS THERE, AND I'M SURE THEY ARE WANTING TO DEVELOP SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE BETTER THAN WHAT IS TODAY. HOW DO YOU SEE THAT IN TERMS OF THE CITY AND FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT? YES, SIR. SO WHEN THE APPLICANT FIRST BROUGHT THEIR APPLICATION IN, MY DEPARTMENT INFORMED SOME OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, FIRE, YOU KNOW, FOR PUBLIC SAFETY REASONS, PUBLIC WORKS FOR UTILITY REASONS, ENGINEERING FOR, YOU KNOW, FUTURE STREET REASONS. AND I GOT POSITIVE RESPONSES FROM ALL THOSE DEPARTMENTS THAT THE CITY REALLY, AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT DOES NOT HAVE ANY USE FOR THAT PROPERTY. OKAY. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, WHAT WOULD YOU ESTIMATE THE CITY SPENDS IN UPKEEP ON THAT PROPERTY CURRENTLY? I WOULD HAVE TO ASK SOMEBODY LIKE, BUT BUT THE BUT THE CITY DOES UPKEEP IT. ZERO. WE MOW IT. DOUBT IT. SOMEBODY MOWS IT. DO YOU KNOW, MR. STOWERS? WHETHER WE MOW THAT AREA OR NOT? YEAH. WE MOST OF THAT STUFF. OKAY. SO IF WE'VE NOT BEEN MOWING IT, SOMEBODY'S BEEN MOWING IT. POSSIBLY. ESSENTIALLY. SO OWNER THE OWNERS
[00:30:05]
ARE SAYING THAT THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF IT. AND SOME OF THAT I LOOK THAT WAY. LOOKING AT STAFF.SO I'M SORRY I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. SHE'S BEEN PAYING TAXES ON IT FOR YEARS. THAT'S GOOD. SO JUST JUST I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE SITTING BACK THERE JUST SO IT'S ON THE RECORD. SO THEY'VE BEEN MAINTAINING THE RIGHT OF WAY. AND HE POINTED OUT ALSO PAYING PAYING TAXES ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL. OBVIOUSLY IT'S OUTSIDE THE CITY. SO THAT GOES TO THE COUNTY AND OTHERS, BUT STILL RECOGNIZE THAT THEY'RE PAYING TAXES ON LAND THAT THEY CAN'T CURRENTLY UTILIZE BECAUSE IT'S LISTED AS RIGHT OF WAY. YES, SIR. AND I THINK MY MAIN POINT THERE WAS THAT AS FAR AS THE CITY, THAT IT WOULD BE A SAVINGS BECAUSE IT SERVES NO VALUE. AND IT IF WE'RE GOING TO END UP HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF IT, SOMEBODY'S GOT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. SO ESSENTIALLY IT'S A SAVINGS. YES, SIR. FROM A POINT OF VIEW, YES, YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. I'M READY FOR A MOTION.
THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL COME BACK TO YOU. I'VE GOT TWO QUEUED UP. MAYOR PRO TEM, I WAS READY TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU'RE READY. LET ME SEE IF COUNCILMAN MALIKI HAS A COMMENT. OKAY. SO. DID YOU. ALL RIGHT, I WILL. I WILL GO AHEAD AND GO TO YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN MALIKI? I'LL SECOND. OKAY. APOLOGIES. I'M DOUBLE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE NOTHING SPECIFIC IS REQUIRED. NO, I THINK WE CAN DO IT THAT WAY.
MISS STORM, IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY, SO WITH THAT COUNCIL, A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. THE ITEM IS APPROVED AS PRESENTED. THAT DOES CONCLUDE OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS THIS EVENING. SO THAT WILL MOVE US

SO WORK SESSION NUMBER ONE IS DISCUSSING ZONING ORDINANCES REGARDING SMOKE SHOPS AND RETAILERS THAT SELL SMOKE, VAPE AND RELATED PRODUCTS. I KNOW THAT I HAD PUT IN A REQUEST ALONG WITH, I BELIEVE THERE WAS ALREADY SOME WORK BEING DONE ON THIS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I CLARIFY THAT UNDER THIS. I KNOW IT DOESN'T ALL SIT UNDER WHAT IS CURRENTLY LISTED UNDER HERE UNDER DIFFERENT PROVISIONS. BUT ALSO INCLUDING AND I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, BUT YOUR HEMP OR SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA TYPE LOCATIONS AS WELL INCLUDING THAT IN HERE THE CBD WHICH I DON'T KNOW ALL THE ACRONYMS, BUT THOSE SHOPS AS WELL. AND IN PUTTING THIS BACK IN FRONT, I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME RESTRICTIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CREATIVE WAYS TO AVOID DESIGNATIONS AS A SMOKE SHOP IN SOME CASES THAT WE HAVE SEEN. I KNOW WE'VE COUNCIL AS A GROUP RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS TODAY FROM SOME DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS IN PROXIMITY TO THOSE STORES. AND IN INTRODUCING THIS, I THE CONCERN FALLS UNDER HEALTH, SAFETY AS WELL AS IN SOME CASES WITH DOWNTOWN HISTORIC AND OTHER AREAS. THE ESTHETICS THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO PROTECT. AND SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WHAT I AM PUTTING FORTH IS THE IDEA OF CREATING AN SUP FOR THOSE BUSINESSES THAT WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SELLING OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS. AND SO THAT WOULD JUST BE BLANKET UNDER THOSE PROVISIONS.AND OBVIOUSLY, FOR ANYONE WHO MAY BE LISTENING THAT HAS ALREADY HAS A SHOP THAT DOES NOT GO BACK AND CLOSE THEM DOWN, THEY'RE GRANDFATHERED AS A I BELIEVE IT'S EXISTING PREEXISTING NON-CONFORMING USAGE, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE ANYONE WHO WANTED TO OPEN ONE OF THOSE STORES IN THE FUTURE TO COME THROUGH FOR AN SUP TO THE CITY. YES, SIR. I KNOW, I'M SURE I'M GOING TO HAVE SOME COLLEAGUES WHO WANT TO COMMENT. I ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF COMMENT FORMS THAT WERE FILLED OUT TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE. OKAY. COUNCILMAN MALIK. I JUST WANTED TO ADD, ARE YOU. ARE WE INCLUDING. IF A CURRENT OWNERSHIP CHANGES HANDS IN A LOCATION, WILL THAT BE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH SUP AND I JUST SOMETHING THAT I, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS WELL IF THAT'S FEASIBLE LEGAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THOUGHT PROCESS IS. I WILL DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, BUT I AM VERY, VERY SURE THAT WE CAN'T REQUIRE AN SUP AS LONG AS THE BUSINESS STAYS WITH THE SAME USE. WHAT WE CAN FIND OUT IS IF THEY HAVE A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP AND A CHANGE OF NAME, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING. BUT AS LONG AS THE USE STAYS THE SAME, I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN. THAT STAYS A NON-CONFORMING CHANGE OF
[00:35:01]
OWNERSHIP, CHANGE OF RENOVATIONS, TYPE OF SITUATIONS. I KIND OF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ALL THOSE DETAILS OF WHAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO. I'M PRETTY SURE WE CANNOT, BUT I WILL JUST MAKE I WILL DEFER TO THE ATTORNEY ON THAT. THE RULES CHANGE QUITE OFTEN. ABSOLUTELY. ESPECIALLY STUFF LIKE THIS. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG ITEM IN THE COMING UP LEGISLATION LEGISLATIVE SESSION. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT. IT MAY MAKE PART OF IT AND THAT MAY MAKE PART OF WHERE THE CHANGES COME IN. CORRECT. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE SEEN NOT JUST WITH I BELIEVE IT'S SENATE BILL THREE THAT ADDRESSES SOME OF THIS THAT WAS FILED. AGAIN, THIS IS PRE I KNOW THERE'LL BE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS, BUT I'VE SEEN FOR SOME OF THESE REGULATIONS, PLACES LIKE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHO ARE GOING BACK AND LOOKING JUST BECAUSE AGAIN YOU KNOW, THESE ARE PRODUCTS THAT GENERALLY ARE EITHER ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE A LABEL ON THEM TELLING YOU HOW THEY'RE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. AND IT'S SOMETHING, AGAIN, THAT WE'RE SEEING REGULARLY COMING IN ACROSS THE AREA. AND AGAIN, IT'S ABOUT REGULATING THAT. ADDITIONALLY, I KNOW FROM SERVING ON THE CITY SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP COMMITTEE IN TALKS WITH OUR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE ISD VAPES AND ASSOCIATED PARAPHERNALIA IN GENERAL FROM A LOT OF THESE LOCATIONS ARE THE NUMBER ONE, OR AT LEAST THEY'RE ONE OF THE TOP CONTRABAND, SO TO SPEAK. ITEMS THAT STUDENTS ARE CAUGHT WITH. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SEEING PROLIFERATE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, THROUGHOUT YOUNG PEOPLE, A LOT OF DIFFERENT LONG TERM HEALTH EFFECTS, LACK OF TESTING FOR SOME OF THE SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS AS TO WHAT'S ACTUALLY CONTAINED WITHIN. AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ABOUT PREVENTING THE SALE OF BEING BEING OF TAKING PLACE, BUT ENSURING THAT THEY ARE LOCATED IN PLACES. I BELIEVE ONE OF THEM MENTIONED AWAY FROM FAMILY FRIENDLY AREAS, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE LOCATED IN SPECIFIC WELL THOUGHT OUT LOCATIONS. AND TO YOUR POINT, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T THEN WALK IN AND CLOSE SOMEONE DOWN. BUT LOOK FORWARD TO AN UPDATE. YOU KNOW, PENDING COUNCIL'S THOUGHTS AS A WHOLE IF WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. WHAT WOULD CONSTITUTE THE PROVISION? I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WHEN IT GOES OUT FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IF THEY LOSE THEIR. WE DO ALREADY HAVE. YEAH. THERE ARE PROVISIONS THAT WHEN A NON-CONFORMING USE. GENERALLY IT'S SIX MONTHS. YEAH. IF THE IF IT'S NOT USED FOR THAT USE OR THE BUILDING IS YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW THE CITY USES THAT AS BONAFIDE EVIDENCE THAT THAT USE NO LONGER EXISTS. I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TIMETABLE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ABOUT TRYING TO THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO AND SHUT DOWN ANYONE THAT'S INVESTED IN A BUSINESS ALREADY. MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU MAYOR. I THINK AS I READ THROUGH THE CURRENT LISTED USES, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CONCERNS ME IS IN THE DEFINITION OF THIS BUSINESS. IT SAYS IF MORE THAN 25% OF THE FLOOR SPACE, INCLUDING DISPLAYS AND AISLES, IS BASED ON THE RETAIL SALE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PRODUCTS, AND THOSE PRODUCTS INCLUDED EVERYTHING THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU SAID IN YOUR OPENING STATEMENT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN FOLKS WHO HAVE USED CREATIVE WAYS TO GET AROUND SOME OF THE ISSUES WITHIN OUR ORDINANCE TO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS OR OPEN THEIR BUSINESS TO BEGIN WITH IN A WAY THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD CONTRADICT THIS DEFINITION. THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN CURRENTLY. SO I, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME WORK DONE ON THE ON THE VERBIAGE WITHIN THE DEFINITION SECTION OF THIS. IF WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK FOR AN ORDINANCE CHANGE FOR AN SUP. I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING SOME LANGUAGE CHANGE THAT WOULD THAT WOULD NOT ANCHOR IT TO THE FLOOR SPACE BECAUSE FLOOR SPACE I MEAN, IF THEY HANG IT FROM THE WALLS, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A FLOOR SPACE. IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE PUTTING IT ON TOP OF COUNTERS, THAT'S I MEAN, IT INCLUDES THE DISPLAYS AND AISLES, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE WALL SPACE. SO THEY CAN HANG AROUND THREE WALLS IN THAT BUILDING, ALL OF THE PARAPHERNALIA THEY WANTED TO AND THEN NOT PUT IT ON 25% OF THE FLOOR SPACE. AND THEY'D BE ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS ORDINANCE. SO I'D LIKE TO STRENGTHEN THE VERBIAGE IN THIS ORDINANCE TO ENSURE THAT AS WE REQUIRE AN SUP, THERE'S A PERFECT REASON OR THERE'S A VERY DEFINED REASON, THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING AN SUP AND GIVES US A LEG TO STAND ON. AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE. OKAY. SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION.YOU IF I UNDERSTAND THE MAYOR CORRECTLY, ARE YOU SAYING THAT IF ANYBODY SELLS ANY AMOUNT OF THIS, YOU THAT'S YOUR WISH? IS THAT THAT'S AN SUP? YES. SO I WOULDN'T BE DOING MY JOB IF I DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? THAT MEANS THAT IF WALMART COMES IN AND WANTS TO BUILD AND THEY SELL CIGARETTES THERE, THAT WALMART'S GOING TO NEED AN SUP, AND THAT MAY SLOW
[00:40:03]
DOWN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT I JUST WITH THE LIMITED SPACE WE HAVE LEFT, THE NUMBER OF LARGE SCALE RETAILERS THAT I SEE COMING, I MEAN, GAS STATIONS, IF THEY WANT TO PUT ONE IN WHICH ALMOST EVERY BIG, BIG BOX GROCERY STORE DOES, THAT'S ALREADY AN SUP TO GET THE GAS PUMPS, ANY VARIATIONS ON THEIR PARKING, THEIR LANDSCAPING, ANY OF THOSE THINGS ALWAYS REQUIRE AN SUP. SO OR THEY END UP BEING PART OF A PD, TYPICALLY. AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT ANY OF THOSE LARGE DEVELOPMENTS ARE GOING TO WANT, IF IT'S A LARGE ACREAGE THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DRIVE THROUGH, WHICH IS AN SUP. SO THAT'LL BE A PD. AND WE SEE PDS FOR THOSE FREQUENTLY. AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FOR A LARGE RETAILER. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD REQUEST UNDER THE PD PROCESS WITH US. OKAY. AND YOU KNOW, HONESTLY I DON'T SEE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THOSE THROUGH THE ENTIRE CITY POTENTIALLY. WE ALREADY HAVE, YOU KNOW, WALMART AND KROGER AND I UNDERSTAND I WAS I WAS, YOU KNOW, USING HYPERBOLE TO MAKE A POINT. YEAH.AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST I SEE IT AS MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST WANTING TO DO IT AS AN ADD ON PART OF THEIR BUSINESS, LIKE I'LL USE KROGER SINCE THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE GOING TO DO AN SUP TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND PUT GAS PUMPS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT'LL BE A PD WITH THE WAY THEY DEVELOP IT TYPICALLY. AND SO FROM FROM THOSE STANDPOINTS NOW, AND I THINK 99% ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A ZONING CASE ANYWAY WITH THE BIG LOTS OF LAND THAT ARE LEFT, A LOT OF THEM ARE AG OR INDUSTRIAL. THERE'S A FEW COMMERCIAL LOCATIONS, BUT NOT MANY WITH THE DEPTH FOR BIG BOX THAT I'VE SEEN. THE ONLY ONE I CAN THINK OF IS BEHIND 7-ELEVEN, SO ALL THE REST WOULD REQUIRE SOME TYPE OF REZONING BECAUSE THEY HAVE AG AS THE CURRENT ZONING TAG ON MOST OF THEM.
OKAY, OR SINGLE FAMILY. IN THE CASE OF MCMILLAN AND COUNTRY CLUB AREA. OKAY, SO BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT AND I THINK I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME TO GET IT RIGHT WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A SHOP OF THESE TYPES IN EVERY STRIP CENTER THAT COMES IN, WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT. WE SEE BUSINESSES COME AND GO, WE SEE OLD ONES TAKEN DOWN, NEW ONES BUILT. WE'RE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PROBABLY 8 TO 10 OF THE STRIP CENTERS PLANNED. I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T END UP WITH TEN MORE SHOPS LIKE THIS. AT EACH ONE OF THOSE LOCATIONS. AND SO IT'S A TRADE OFF. DOES THAT ALSO THEN, BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THAT CURRENT DEFINITION, WOULD THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE SELL OF CBD AND HEMP PRODUCTS? YES. AS FAR AS THE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, YOU'RE RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU IS TO ASK THE REST OF THE COUNCIL. YES, YOU ALWAYS DO ON OUR SESSION.
I'VE GOT TWO THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. SO I JUST, I JUST WANTED TO ANSWER THAT AND I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO IN ADDITION TO YOUR COMMENTS YOU JUST MADE ABOUT CBD AND HEMP, THERE ARE ALSO LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT GOVERN THE SALES OF HEMP AND CBD. YES, SIR. SO I THINK THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A TAGLINE WITHIN AN ORDINANCE OR INSIDE AN SUV REQUEST THAT WOULD THAT WOULD ANCHOR BACK TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. YES, SIR. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FOLLOW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AS WELL. OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, COUNCILMAN MALIKI. YEAH. I DIDN'T SEE THE CBD AND THC AND ALL THOSE OTHERS THAT I'D LIKE TO BE INCLUDED ON THE ORDINANCE OR SUP THAT WE DO. AND I THINK IT'S MAYOR HAS BEEN TRYING TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR. I THINK THIS IS A BUSINESS. SOMEONE WANTS TO RUN IT. SOMEONE BELIEVES IN IT. IT'S NOT JUST A LOCAL BUSINESS. IT'S A NATIONAL BUSINESS THAT PEOPLE HAVE DEVELOPED, AND THEY'RE USING IT FOR THEIR OWN BUSINESS TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES AND WHATNOT. I DON'T THINK WE'RE PERSONALLY AT LEAST I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. I'M NOT TRYING TO REGULATE THAT AT ALL. FOR ME, WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT IF I HAVE A FAMILY WITH LITTLE KIDS COMING TO THE RESTAURANT AND EATING, BY THE TIME THEY GET OUTSIDE OR WHILE THEY'RE EATING SOMEWHERE, AND THERE'S DIFFERENT FUMES COMING IN FROM DIFFERENT AREAS, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO SET UP THE YOUNGSTERS THAT WERE TRYING TO BUILD A BETTER PLACE FOR. OKAY.
AND AGAIN, TO EACH THEIR OWN. EACH FAMILY HAS THEIR OWN CONCEPTS AND THE WAYS THEY WANT TO DEVELOP THEIR FAMILY. MY PART IS TO PROTECT EVERYONE ELSE AND HOW THEIR FAMILY WORKS. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. SO THERE WILL BE PLACES AND SPOTS THAT THESE ARE USEFUL SPECIFICALLY WITH MEDICATION AND THE WAY THE MEDICINE IS DEVELOPING NOWADAYS, EVERY EVERY ONE OF THESE BUSINESSES WILL HAVE THEIR OWN SPOTS. FOR ME, IT'S JUST BEING ABLE TO SEE WHERE THEY GO AND HOW THEY GO AND HOW THEY AFFECT OTHERS. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. OKAY, OKAY, SO I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE QUEUED UP. AND AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO ASKED TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS GO AHEAD AND GIVE THOSE INDIVIDUALS A CHANCE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK. I'M JUST GOING TO CALL THESE IN THE ORDER I HAVE THEM HERE. I WOULD ASK
[00:45:03]
THAT WHEN YOU COME UP, IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE UP TO THREE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES WITH WHICH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL, UNLESS YOU'RE OFFICIALLY REPRESENTING YOUR GROUP. SO FIRST I HAVE MISS TINA STILINSKI.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. HOLD ON ONE SECOND. I'M SORRY. OH, YES. IF YOU ARE REPRESENTING YOUR GROUP, IF YOU WILL LET US KNOW IF. WHEN YOU STEP FORWARD. IF YOU'RE NOT, THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE. JUST SO THAT WE HAVE THAT ON OUR RECORD. OKAY. SO GO AHEAD. TINA STANICKY, 5801 VISTA GLEN LANE, SAXY, TEXAS. AND I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF A COMPANY HERE IN WYLIE. AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL. I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BRINGING UP A SUBJECT THAT IS VERY PRO-BUSINESS. YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT WHERE NEW BUSINESSES COMING IN UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN DO BUSINESS HERE.
AND YOU'RE ALSO SETTING THE STAGE FOR OUR CURRENT BUSINESSES TO KNOW HOW BUSINESS WILL BE TRANSPIRING. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. AND I THINK IT'S A VERY PRO-BUSINESS CONSIDERATION THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU MA'AM. NEXT I HAVE BOB HEATH. MY NAME IS. BOB HEATH. 304 NORTH JACKSON AVENUE, WYLIE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, FOR ALLOWING US TO SPEAK ON THIS SUBJECT. I MIGHT ADD, I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE LONG BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY STOLE MY THUNDER. AND ALL THE THINGS I WANTED TO SAY. IT'S I THINK IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THOSE WHO WHO VAPE. THERE'S A HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT'S ADDICTIVE.
THERE'S THE OTHER ELEMENT THAT'S THERE'S A CRIME ELEMENT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS. WE PROBABLY ALL SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN ALLEN WITH THE UNDERCOVER WORK THAT THEY DID, AND HOW THE VAPE SHOPS WERE BEING ILLEGAL. IT WAS ALMOST CITY WIDE, AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY NATIONWIDE AS WELL. I CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. THERE. WE HAVE TWO IN DOWNTOWN WYLIE. BOTH OF THEM HAVE HAD BREAK INS, AND ONE OF THEM WAS JUST A COUPLE OF DOORS DOWN FROM MY OFFICE. WE HAD ON CAMERA HOW A YOUNG MAN PICKED UP A BRICK IN THE BACK. WE WATCHED HIM WALK AROUND AND THROW THE BRICK THROUGH THE WINDOW, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE OWNER OF THE STORE ENDED UP PUTTING UP BARS, WHICH HE EVENTUALLY HAD TO TAKE DOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WYLIE.
THERE'S SO THERE'S THAT ELEMENT AS WELL. I TALKED WITH A GENTLEMAN WHO, THE LAST TIME WE HAD A REQUEST FOR A VAPE SHOP DOWNTOWN, AND OUTSIDE THE IN THE LOBBY AREA, AND HE SAID THEY COULDN'T GET INTO STRIP STORES, STRIP CENTERS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED, BECAUSE IT WAS BAD FOR BUSINESS. SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT. IT IS BAD FOR BUSINESS. AND I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR BUSINESSES IN DOWNTOWN ARE ALL SMALL OWNED BUSINESSES, AND THEY IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR THE TIDE TO SHIFT WITH THEM. SO I WOULD ASK THAT YOU VOTE YES ON THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT I HAVE TERRY ALLEN. TERRY ALLEN 301 ORCHARD TRAIL. WYLIE. I DID A QUICK GOOGLE THIS EVENING, AND ON A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH I SHOW THAT WE HAVE 11 SHOPS IN WYLIE THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS SMOKE, VAPE, CBD OR CANNABIS STORES. AND SPEAKING AS A BUSINESS OWNER IN WYLIE, I HAVE ONE NEXT DOOR TO ME. THE LOOK OF THESE STORES IS HORRENDOUS. THE TWO THAT ARE IN DOWNTOWN WYLIE HAVE BEEN ROBBED. THEY BOTH DO HAVE CURRENTLY HAVE BARS ON THEIR WINDOWS. WHETHER IT'S ALLOWED, I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT, BUT THEY BOTH DO HAVE BARS ON THE
[00:50:05]
WINDOWS. THE ONE NEXT DOOR TO ME HAS BEEN ROBBED TWICE IN THE FEW MONTHS THEY WERE. THEY HAVE BEEN OPEN. THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE BROKEN INTO THROUGH THEIR FRONT DOOR AT NIGHT. THE SECOND TIME WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, ABOUT 7:00 IN THE EVENING ON A MONDAY WHEN A LOT OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES ARE OPEN TO INDIVIDUALS, WALKED PAST, THEN WALKED BACK IN, GRABBED SEVERAL THINGS OFF THEIR COUNTER, AND TOOK OFF RUNNING DOWN THE STREET. IF THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK, THEY COULD HAVE RUN THEM OVER. LUCKILY FOR US, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT THE TIME. NEXT DOOR TO ME THEY HAVE. THEY DID DECORATE FOR THE HOLIDAYS. THEY HAVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN THE SHAPE OF A MARIJUANA LEAF IN THEIR WINDOW, AND THAT IS QUITE EMBARRASSING TO HAVE THAT NEXT DOOR TO ME. BESIDES THAT AT BU ON BALLARD, AS WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ON OUR STREET, THEY STAYED OPEN AND EVERY FIVE MINUTES THEY WERE OPENING THEIR DOOR AND THE SMELL OF MARIJUANA WAS COMING OUT ONTO THE STREET. AS I'M HANDING OUT CANDY TO CHILDREN. SO AS A BUSINESS OWNER, IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR ME TO BE NEXT TO THEM. I THINK THERE'S FAR TOO MANY OF THEM IN WYLIE. AND ON A PERSONAL NOTE, MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS WENT TO SCHOOL IN WYLIE. MY STEPDAUGHTER WENT TO SCHOOL IN WYLIE, AND I CURRENTLY HAVE A NEPHEW WHO IS LIKE A SON TO ME, WHO STARTED VAPING WHEN HE WAS 14 YEARS OLD, BECAME ADDICTED, AND I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU THE STRAIN THAT THAT PUT ON HIS BODY AND ON HIS MENTAL WELL-BEING.AND TEN YEARS LATER, WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH THE EFFECTS OF WHAT THAT DID TO HIM. AND HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT AT 14 IN WYLIE. SO I THINK THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE SOME RESTRICTIONS ONTO HOW THESE OPERATE. ANOTHER, FOR INSTANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE SHOPS I WON'T MENTION WHICH ONE WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO ANOTHER BUSINESS AND WAS OFFERING FREE SAMPLES TO THE EMPLOYEES OF THAT BUSINESS. NOT ONCE DID THEY ASK ANY OF THEIR AGES, AND THESE WERE FREE SAMPLES OF GUMMIES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AGE RESTRICTED. SO I AM TOTALLY FOR SOME KIND OF RESTRICTION ON THESE BUSINESSES, AND I THINK WE HAVE TO GET A HANDLE ON WHAT WE WANT WYLIE TO BE. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I HAVE JEREMY MEYER. GOOD EVENING, JEREMY MEYER. 6913 TAYLOR LANE, WYLIE, TEXAS. AS DAD, MR. HEATH SAID PRETTY MUCH STOLE MY THUNDER HERE. BUT A FEW FEW POINTS. NUMBER ONE, I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, A PROPERTY OWNER AND A BUSINESS OWNER IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. HAVING SPENT ALMOST 20 YEARS HELPING TO SEE SMALL BUSINESSES SUCCEED IN A GROWING, THRIVING CITY. I BELIEVE STRONGLY IN PROPERTY RIGHTS AND IN SMALL BUSINESS RIGHTS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE PLACES TO OPEN BUSINESSES AND PLACES NOT TO OPEN BUSINESSES. WE WOULD NOT HAVE AN OIL CHANGE FACILITY RIGHT NEXT TO BALLARD BOUTIQUE AND BAKERY. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN WYLIE THAT THESE BUSINESSES CAN SIT AND DO BUSINESS IN. 11 BUSINESSES THAT SELL CBD IN WYLIE. THAT'S ONE FOR EVERY 3000 PEOPLE. IF I'M DOING THE MATH CORRECTLY, THAT'S THAT'S A LOT. THE TWO BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN WYLIE, ONE THAT'S BEEN DOWNTOWN FOR A WHILE WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, AND THE OTHER ONE THAT JUST OPENED UP.
YEAH, THEY'VE BEEN ROBBED THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. SMASH AND GRAB IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. WE HAD ON BALLARD, AND THEY WERE PASSING OUT CBD LACED CANDY. THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
ABOUT 10,000 PEOPLE IN DOWNTOWN. WE HAD GUMMY BEARS. YOU COULDN'T TELL A GOOD GUMMY BEAR FROM A BAD GUMMY BEAR. REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT, I THINK THERE'S PLACES TO HAVE IT AND PLACES YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE IT. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IS THE PERCENTAGE REQUIREMENT. I THINK JUST REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT, THE PERCENTAGE AT ALL, WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. ANOTHER THING WOULD BE A CLARIFICATION TO BUSINESSES COMING IN. WE DID HAVE A CIGAR LOUNGE THAT WANTED TO OPEN UP IN DOWNTOWN. HAD IT BEEN MORE CLEAR IN THE ORDINANCE, THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE PUT THE EFFORT IN WHAT I HEAR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN UP FRONT.
THEY COULD HAVE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE BETTER. THEY WERE HIT ON THE BACK END WITH, SORRY, THIS ISN'T GOING TO PASS. SO CLARIFICATION TO BUSINESSES I THINK IS REALLY MAKES SENSE. AND I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. YOU KNOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. AND THE PROLIFERATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHEMICALS THAT DON'T FALL WITHIN A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE OR A SEMI CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE IS CONSTANTLY GROWING IN THESE VAPE PENS THAT ARE RUNNING AROUND
[00:55:05]
THESE CARTRIDGES TECHNICALLY ARE CONSIDERED A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. THERE'S A WELL-KNOWN CASE OUT OF DALLAS WHERE A WOMAN WAS PULLED OVER AND ARRESTED, AND THAT CARTRIDGE WAS TESTED.IT WAS 4 OR 5 TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT, AND IT PUT HER IN PRISON AND RUINED HER LIFE. AND SHE'S HAVING TO FIGHT BACK FROM THAT. AND I KNOW I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE STATE WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT IN THE NEXT SESSION. BUT TO THE POINT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE BUYING MIGHT BE ILLEGAL.
AND I THINK IF WE CAN BETTER CONTROL THAT AND BE UP FRONT WITH AN SUP, IT MAKES SENSE.
THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. SO THAT DOES COMPLETE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD REGISTERED TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. SO WITH THAT, I KNOW THAT MR. HASKINS IS LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF DIRECTION. AND FROM MR. MAYOR PRO TEM STATEMENT, I BELIEVE YOU WERE WANTING TO LOOK AT. WOULD IT BE FAIR TO. I WON'T PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH. I WILL SUGGEST THAT WE TAKE AN APPROACH OF AN SUP FOR THE SALE OF ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, AND REMOVE ALTOGETHER ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH PERCENTAGES. ET CETERA. IF THEY WANT TO SELL ANY OF THOSE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN TOBACCO PRODUCTS OR ANY OF THE OTHER HEMP CBD, AND I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU ALL TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST, ALL ENCOMPASSING TERMS THAT IT WILL REQUIRE AN SUP MOVING FORWARD. NOW, THAT'S MY OPINION. THAT IS NOT THE WHOLE COUNCIL. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO PUT FORTH. AND I'M GOING TO ASK MY COLLEAGUES. I'LL START WITH YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM, IF YOU AGREE OR WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANY CHANGES TO THAT. THANK YOU MAYOR. I CERTAINLY AGREE 100% WITH THAT.
AND I AGREE THAT REMOVAL OF ANY KIND OF PERCENTAGE OF SALES IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, SO THAT THE ADDITION OF HEMP, CBD, AND ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THOSE SAME GUIDELINES. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO I'LL START WITH DOWN ON MY RIGHT HERE, COUNCILMAN MALIKAI. I AGREE WITH MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM, AND I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS. YES, SIR. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR. I WOULD AGREE THAT THAT'S A FAIR AND ACCURATE WAY TO APPLY IT TO EVERYBODY IN EVERY SITUATION AND JUST PUT IT IN AN SUP AND NOT GIVE ANY SPECIFICS UP FRONT OTHER THAN ONCE THE SITE PLAN IS PRESENTED. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRANG. YEAH. I SUPPORT WHAT THE MAYOR AND THE MAYOR PRO TEM ARE SUGGESTING. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS, HOW SOON CAN WE GET IT? HOW SOON CAN YOU BRING THE ORDINANCE FOR US TO VOTE ON IT? I KNOW, I KNOW, THEY'LL WORK TO DRAFT IT IN. OF COURSE, THEY ALWAYS GO TO PNC FIRST. SO. YES. AND THIS IS SOMETHING. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I WAS GOING TO MENTION THIS. WELL, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT, I'LL LET MR. DUKE. YEAH. COUNCILMAN. DUKE. YOUR THOUGHTS? I AGREE. OKAY, SO WHAT I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST WAS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF A BETTER WORD, VOLATILE NATURE OF Y'ALL PROBABLY HEARD WHAT HAPPENED IN ALLEN WHERE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY AND THEIR TESTING FACILITIES ARE GETTING SUED. BECAUSE OF AN ORDINANCE VERY SIMILAR. I WILL WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY TO GET US THE BEST THING THAT WE CAN IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF LITIGATION. SO MY ONLY ANSWER TO HOW FAST CAN I DO THAT IS AS FAST AS WE CAN, BUT MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. YES. SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. SO
[WS2. Discuss The Wall That Heals Vietnam Memorial.]
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO OUR SECOND WORK SESSION THIS EVENING, WHICH IS TO DISCUSS THE WALL THAT HEALS VIETNAM MEMORIAL. SO I KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HERE FOR THAT THIS EVENING. CRAIG, ARE YOU GOING TO BE PRESENTING GENERALLY? ALL RIGHT.DEFINITELY. AND WITH ME IS OUR WONDERFUL SPECIAL EVENT COORDINATOR, LILLIAN BAKER. SO WE'LL RUN THROUGH THIS REAL FAST. BUT, MAYOR COUNCIL, WE'RE JUST SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE CITY OF WYLIE WAS SELECTED. AND LET ME PULL THIS UP. OUR PRESENTATION BEFORE I JUMP IN.
OKAY. TO HOST THE WALL THAT HEALS OCTOBER 30TH THROUGH NOVEMBER 2ND OF 2025. AND THIS IS THEIR 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS IMPORTANT TRAVELING MEMORIAL. SO WE'RE VERY HONORED TO HAVE IT. AT THAT POINT. THIS REMARKABLE EXHIBIT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO HONOR THE LEGACY OF THOSE WHO SERVED, AND ALSO TO REFLECT ON THE IMPACT OF THE VIETNAM WAR ON BOTH THE SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. IT'S TRULY A PROFOUND MOMENT FOR WYLIE TO SHOWCASE OUR RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS, AND TO OFFER A SPACE FOR REMEMBRANCE AND HEALING AS WELL. MARY LANG, OUR RECENTLY NAMED CITIZEN OF THE YEAR, IS WITH US TONIGHT, AND
[01:00:09]
SHE BROUGHT THE IDEA FORTH OF HOSTING THIS MEMORIAL, AND SHE GOT WITH OUR GREAT MAYOR PRO TEM, JEFF FORRESTER, AND HE BROUGHT THAT IDEA TO THE CITY. THEN, ALONG WITH OUR WONDERFUL AGAIN EVENTS COORDINATOR, LILLIAN BAKER, WHO WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY AND COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT HER AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB, A GREAT JOB IN PUTTING TOGETHER OUR APPLICATION TO BRING THE WALL TO WYLIE. THE COMMITTEE SAID THAT THEY WERE IMPRESSED AND THAT THE APPLICATION STOOD OUT AMONG ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS. WE ACTUALLY HEARD BACK PRETTY QUICKLY. YES, ONCE THAT WAS SUBMITTED, WE'RE JUST ONE OF 31 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO GET THE WALL OUT OF HUNDREDS OF APPLICATIONS AND ONE OF THREE IN TEXAS. THE OTHER SITES IN TEXAS ARE CORPUS CHRISTI AND LAREDO. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WISH THE IMAGE QUALITY WAS A LITTLE BETTER. BUT THOSE ARE THE IMAGES WE RECEIVED. THE WALL THAT HEALS IS A THREE QUARTER SCALE REPLICA OF THE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IT ALSO MAINTAINS ITS ICONIC CHEVRON SHAPE AFTER IT'S SET UP. THE WALL IS 375FT IN LENGTH, SO IT IS A VERY SUBSTANTIAL MEMORIAL.IT REACHES TO A HEIGHT OF 7.5FT AT ITS TALLEST POINT. AND JUST LIKE IN DC, THE WALL RISES ABOVE VISITORS AS THEY MOVE TOWARDS THE APEX OF THE MEMORIAL. SO BRINGING YOUR BRINGING THAT EXPERIENCE TO WYLIE IS, YOU KNOW, AN INCREDIBLE ABILITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. THE OTHER INTERESTING THING IS THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED WITH THE PANELS THAT THEY DO PUT UP. YOU CAN ALSO DO THE RUBBINGS OF THE NAMES OF THE 58,000 MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE UP. SO JUST LIKE IN DC, WE'LL HAVE THOSE PAPERS AVAILABLE. WE WILL HAVE THOSE PENCILS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE TO DO THAT. THE OTHER THING IS, FOR US, THE WALL IS LIGHTED AND IT'S OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY OVER THE FOUR DAYS THAT IT IS HERE IN WYLIE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE A THING FOR US TO HAVE. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SELECTED SITE AND LOCATION. WE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO IT.
HAD CONVERSATIONS AS A TEAM IN LOOKING AT DIFFERENT AREAS, WORKING WITH THE ORGANIZATION THAT SPONSORS THE WALL THAT HEALS AS WELL, AND IN LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WE HAVE, WE SETTLED UPON THE EAST MEADOW. SO AS YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, SORRY FOR THE BLURRY PICTURE, BUT CITY HALL, THE LIBRARY ON THE LEFT AND THEN THE AREA MARKED IN YELLOW WITH THE CHEVRON SHAPE THAT WOULD BE THE LOCATION OF THE OF THE MEMORIAL. YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN THE FAR EASTERN PARKING LOT BY THE PRAIRIE DOG PARK. THAT WOULD BE THE LOCATION OF THE VISITOR CENTER. THE NEAT THING ABOUT THIS LOCATION, AS VISITORS WALK THROUGH PAST THE DOG PARK FROM OUR BEAUTIFUL LIBRARY, WHICH IS ALSO GOING TO SERVE WITH EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AS WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO WALK THROUGH OVER THAT BRIDGE DOWN THE SIDEWALK, AND THE MEMORIAL IS GOING TO RISE UP IN THE MEADOW THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE TO THE EAST THERE, I THINK IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, SERENE, YET PROMINENT AREA FOR THIS REFLECTIVE MEMORIAL. I THINK IT'D BE REALLY A GREAT LOCATION. VISITORS CAN ALSO ACCESS THE SITE VISITORS AS WELL AS VOLUNTEERS, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A TON OF VOLUNTEERS FROM THE NEW, EXPANDED, LARGER PARKING LOT ON BROWN AS WELL. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THAT EXPANDED PARKING LOT. THE WALL COMES IN THIS LARGE THREE FOOT TRAILER, AND THAT TRAILER ALSO SERVES. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT'S COMING FROM. THERE'S THE WALL ALSO SERVES AS THE EDUCATION CENTER, SO THAT WILL BE SET UP IN THAT FAR PARKING LOT. IT OPENS UP AND SERVES AS THE EDUCATION CENTER THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. SO NEXT STEPS. IT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
LILLIAN HAS SPENT MANY HOURS ON CONFERENCE CALLS THROUGH ZOOM ON DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE EVENT, PULLING ALL OF THAT INFORMATION TOGETHER TO PULL IT TOGETHER. OUR CO-CHAIRS FOR THE EVENT,
[01:05:03]
MARY LANG, MAYOR PRO TEM LILLIAN AND MYSELF. AND AS YOU KNOW, IT'S POPPED UP THERE. THAT WAS THE ISSUE. OKAY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS JUST A QUICK ORG CHART HOW THE ORGANIZATION LAYS IT OUT FOR US AND WHAT THEIR EXPECTATION IS OF THE CITY AND THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH WILL PARTNER IN THE EVENT. SO YOU CAN SEE VERY DETAILED. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THAT TONIGHT, BUT JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT UP TO SHOW THE AMOUNT OF PLANNING, EFFORT AND WORK THAT THE COMMITTEE EXPECTS AND REQUIRES TO BRING THE MEMORIAL TO WYLIE. SO IT'S A VERY SUBSTANTIAL COMMITMENT. EACH OF THOSE SECOND TIER WILL BE FILLED BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON DOWN FROM THERE.SO A LOT OF STEPS IN THAT PLANNING PROCESS. ONE OF THE KEYS, LIKE I SAID TO THAT SUCCESS WILL BE THE VOLUNTEERS, AND WE'LL BEGIN RECRUITING THOSE IN THE COMING MONTH OR TWO. SO HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE NEED? 150, 150 VOLUNTEERS WILL BE NEEDED TO MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL. YEAH. SO 150 ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS TO THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHERS THAT ARE ALREADY INVOLVED. THERE'S MANY ASPECTS TO THE EVENT AGAIN, WHICH WE'LL GET INTO IN THE FUTURE. SO THOSE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS DEFINITELY PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING IN JANUARY. IT'S ALREADY ON THE SCHEDULE, CITY DEPARTMENTS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY A LARGE ROLE IN THIS, INCLUDING OUR DEPARTMENT, FIRE, POLICE, PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS AND RECREATION, THE LIBRARY. WHY DOES THAT KEEP POPPING UP? PARKS AND RECREATION AND THE LIBRARY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FIRST PLANNING LOGISTICS MEETING. SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT PARKING. WE'LL TALK ABOUT SHUTTLING. WE'LL WE'LL JUST TALK ABOUT ANY ASPECT OF OUR CITY FACILITIES OPEN DURING THAT TIME. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE EXPECT TO COME? LILLIAN'S BEEN WORKING WITH FRISCO. THEY'RE THE LAST LOCATION TO HAVE IT IN OUR AREA. JUST TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF THE NUMBERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON SITE. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE WEAKNESSES? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STRENGTHS? WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AND HOW CAN WE, YOU KNOW, BUILD ON THAT? SO VERY BUSY TIME. THE INITIAL COST WAS $12,000 AND THAT WAS FUNDED THROUGH OUR EXISTING EVENT BUDGET. COMING OUT OF THE HOTEL MOTEL FUND, WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL MONEY IN THERE. THERE PROBABLY WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL EXPENSES THAT WILL BRING FORTH HERE IN THE COMING MONTHS IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS PLANNING PROCESS. BUT WE JUST THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR WYLIE TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES TO HONOR THE MORE THAN 3 MILLION AMERICANS WHO SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMED FORCES IN THE VIETNAM WAR, AND THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN VIETNAM AND THE COMMITTEE AS A WHOLE. AS WE'VE TALKED THROUGH IT, WE REALLY WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE VIETNAM GENERATION NEVER FORGETS HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEIR SERVICE. AND IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT. IT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE THING, ACTUALLY. I GET THE CHILLS, YOU KNOW, JUST TALKING ABOUT IT THROUGH THAT. SO THIS IS THE INITIAL PRESENTATION. I KNOW THERE'S OTHER HERE, YOU KNOW, THAT CAN SPEAK PASSIONATELY AS WELL ABOUT IT, BUT JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW AND OUR COMMITMENT TO BRINGING THIS TO WYLIE, A VERY EXCITING TIME. THANK YOU. SIR. I THINK I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE WHOLE COUNCIL WHEN I SAY THAT THIS IS A VERY EXCITING THING TO SEE COMING. I KNOW OUR COMMUNITY IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS, AND I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE AN EXCELLENT THING, NOT JUST FOR OUR VETERANS, BUT ALSO AS A TEACHING POINT TO THE YOUTH WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO REMIND THEM OF THE REASON THAT THEY HAVE THE FREEDOMS THAT THEY ENJOY TODAY AND THE SACRIFICES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I KNOW WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF OTHER CO-CHAIRS HERE THIS EVENING. I DON'T KNOW IF MAYOR PRO TEM OR MISS LANG WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT ALL. YES, YES.
COME ON DOWN. I KNEW YOU WANTED TO. AND IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR OUR RECORD. MY NAME IS MARY LANG, 804 EASTER DRIVE HERE IN WYLIE, TEXAS. I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 93, SO I'M HERE. I SERVED DURING THIS TIME. I SERVED FROM 68 TO 72. BUT THE IDEA OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO SEE THIS IS SO EXCITING, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO JUST SAY THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO. AREN'T HERE ANYMORE. SO SORRY, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH
[01:10:12]
FOR DOING THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH. THANK YOU. SORRY. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM, ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS EVENING? NO, I JUST I WOULD AGREE WITH MRS. LANG WHEN SHE STATES THAT YOU KNOW THIS, THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS EVENT IS NOT ONLY TO ALLOW THE YOUTH TO TAKE PART IN, IN THE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT 58,000 PLUS NAMES LOOK LIKE, BUT ALSO TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MEMORIES. IT'S CALLED THE WALL THAT HEALS FOR A REASON. IT ALLOWS VETERANS WHO LOST FRIENDS OR FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVED ONES A CHANCE TO PUT CLOSURE TO IT, BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO KNOW THAT WE DON'T FORGET. WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN. FOR THOSE OF US WHO WORE A UNIFORM WE'LL NEVER FORGET. SO I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE COLLEAGUES SITTING HERE AND FOR MARY LANG, THE COMMANDER OF THE LOCAL AMERICAN LEGION, FOR COMING TOGETHER, AND SPECIFICALLY LILLIAN AND CRAIG, YOUR WORK TO GET THIS APPLICATION FILLED OUT. I MEAN, THEY TOLD US THAT OUR APPLICATION STOOD HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE OTHERS, AND FOR THAT, I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. LOOK FORWARD TO DOING WHAT WE CAN. I KNOW I SPEAK AGAIN FOR ALL OF US, DOING WHAT WE CAN TO HELP SUPPORT THIS MOVING FORWARD. AND OF COURSE, IF THERE'S ANYTHING NEEDED ALONG THE WAY, I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL LET US KNOW. AND MAYOR PRO TEM, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE'S 150 SLOTS TO BE FILLED. SO SINCE YOU'RE VOLUNTEERING, I THINK MARY WROTE YOUR NAME DOWN. SO WE GOT YOU OUT. EXACTLY. YES. AND WE WILL ALL WE WILL ALL DO WHAT WE CAN, I KNOW, TO ASSIST AND TO GET THE WORD OUT AS WELL. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. YEAH, WELL WE ALL WE ALL KNOW GENO HAS NOTHING GOING ON, SO WE'LL SIGN HIM UP[WS3. Discuss Encampment on City property.]
TO THAT. SO WITH THAT I'LL MOVE US TO WORK. SESSION THREE DISCUSSING ENCAMPMENT ON CITY PROPERTY I, I KNOW MISS ALI IS GOING TO COME DOWN IN FRONT. MAYOR PRO TEM, I KNOW YOU HAD REQUESTED THIS ON THE AGENDA, SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU AND LET YOU KIND OF START THE DISCUSSION THERE. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE HER JUST A SECOND TO GET DOWN THERE. SURE. MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. IT'S COME TO OUR ATTENTION AS NOT ONLY THROUGH EMAIL, THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, THROUGH TELEPHONE CALLS, THROUGH TEXT MESSAGES RECEIVED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS THAT WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE QUITE A BIT MORE ACTIVITY ON CORNERS WHERE PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING ASSISTANCE. AND I. I DON'T ASK FOR THIS TO BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA. TO SOUND CRASS, BE A BULLY, OR TO PICKET ANYONE. OUR CITY IS WELL REPRESENTED, WELL REPRESENTED WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE FOUNDED ON HELPING AND HUMANITARIAN AID. WE'VE SEEN THEM HERE STAND BEFORE THE DAIS TO BE RECOGNIZED, AND THEY STRETCH FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER, AND THEY'RE THREE DEEP. AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE ORGANIZATIONS IN TOWN THAT WE HAVE WHO ARE READY TO HELP PEOPLE. MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY, PUBLIC SAFETY, SAFETY NOT ONLY OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE OUT ON THE ROADWAY, BUT SAFETY OF THE MOTORISTS WHO ARE DRIVING UP AND DOWN THE STREETS OF WILEY. IN ADDITION TO THAT. CAMPING OUT AT A CORNER OR CAMPING OUT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY WITHOUT A PERMIT. IN 90% OF THE CITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IS NOT TOLERATED AT THIS TIME. WE DON'T HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT ENGAGES OR GIVES OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ANY TYPE OF TEETH, SO TO SPEAK, TO HELP MOVE ALONG PEOPLE OR GET THEM OFF OF A CORNER OR OUT OF HARM'S WAY DAY, NIGHT OR ANYTIME. I KNOW THAT THERE'S A SPECIFIC INSTANCE GOING ON CURRENTLY WITHIN THE CITY, AND I KNOW THAT THE CHIEF HAS HAD PERSONNEL OUT TO, TO MAKE CONTACT WITH INDIVIDUALS JUST TO SEE IF WE CAN OFFER HELP AND ASSISTANCE AND HELP AND ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN OFFERED. HOWEVER, ENCAMPMENT CANNOT BE TOLERATED. WE CAN'T TOLERATE HAVING SOMEONE SLEEP NEXT TO A ROADWAY WITHIN THE CITY. SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY COMMENTS THAT[01:15:01]
I HAVE, AND I'VE ASKED STAFF IF THEY WOULD REVIEW ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP CRAFT AN ORDINANCE TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THAT. AND I MISS ALI. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF WORK ON THIS, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. THANK YOU. YES. SO WE DID DO SOME RESEARCH ON SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES. CITY SECRETARY STEPHANIE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF HER COHORTS THAT HAD SOME ACTUALLY HAD ORDINANCES IN PLACE AND SOME DID NOT. SOME ARE PROBABLY FACING SOME OF THE SAME THINGS THAT WE ARE HERE IN OUR CITY. SO WHAT WE DID, WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKAGE IS JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES HAVE IN PLACE. SO WHAT I'VE DONE TAKING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION ALONG WITH WHAT WE CAN REALLY DO PUBLIC SAFETY WISE, JUST REALLY PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS, PROTECTING PEDESTRIANS THAT ARE CROSSING THE STREET OR OR THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WHAT WE WILL PROPOSE AND BEFORE YOU ASK, I WILL TELL YOU WE'LL HAVE AN ORDINANCE BACK TO YOU AT OUR FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY. AND WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS TO AMEND CHAPTER 78 AND THAT CHAPTER. OH, NOT THAT ONE. SO CURRENTLY CHAPTER 78 DEALS WITH OFFENSES AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. SO WHAT WE WILL PROPOSE IS TO ADD A TOTALLY NEW SECTION TO THAT ARTICLE 33. AND WE ARE CALLING IT PROPOSING OFFENSES INVOLVING PUBLIC PEACE AND ORDER. AND IN THAT ORDINANCE, WHAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT IS ENCAMPMENTS SLEEPING ON PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS AND PUBLIC SPACES. IT WILL ALSO LIKE IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR PACKET AT WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE, TAKE THAT EVEN TO THE LEVEL OF PEDESTRIANS AND MEDIANS. I MEAN, IF YOU CROSS IN A MEDIAN, YOU'RE CROSSING A MEDIAN. BUT TO TAKE UP CAMP PEDAL OR DO ANY OF THOSE TYPE THINGS IN A MEDIAN, WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT ALL IN THIS OFFENSIVE INVOLVING PUBLIC PEACE AND ORDER. AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT TO AS MAYOR PRO TEM FORRESTER SAID, WE'RE NOT PICKING ON SOMEONE OR OR BELITTLING ANY CHALLENGES SOMEONE MAY FACE. WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY OF NOT JUST OUR CITIZENS AND THOSE THAT ARE DRIVING, BUT EVEN THAT PERSON THAT MAY CHOOSE TO ENCAMP ON THAT CORNER. IT'S NOT SAFE WEATHER WISE, TRAFFIC WISE, ALL OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS. SO THAT'S WHAT WE WILL BRING FORWARD TO YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND ADDRESSING, ACTUALLY GIVING AN ORDINANCE THAT WE CAN ENFORCE, THAT PUBLIC SAFETY CAN GO OUT AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO HEY, THIS IS WHAT OUR ORDINANCE SAYS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR PEOPLE HERE IN THE CITY OF WILEY. OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM, SO THANK YOU, MAYOR. QUESTION ABOUT PEOPLE BEING OUT THERE JUST FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PUBLIC. IF SOMEONE CALLS IN TO THE EITHER TO THE EMERGENCY NUMBER AND THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER, THERE'S A DISPATCH MADE AND CONTACT BETWEEN AN OFFICER OR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL WITHIN OUR PD TO THAT PERSON TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE MADE KNOWN OR THAT THEY ARE. IT'S MADE KNOWN TO THEM THAT WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU. YES. AND THAT WE HAVE THESE RESOURCES AND A LIST OF RESOURCES PROVIDED. CORRECT? YES. OKAY. THAT WILL BE PART OF THE ORDINANCE. SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE SAYING, OKAY, SOMEONE'S CAMPING OUT OR ON THAT CORNER.POLICE ARE GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND TAKE UP ALL THEIR STUFF AND PUT THEM IN JAIL. NO, WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE. HEY, THESE ARE SOME OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. THIS IS WHAT OUR ORDINANCE SAYS. IS THERE SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE WE CAN TAKE YOU? DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN CALL? ALL THOSE THINGS WILL BE PUT OUT THERE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE IS TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. THE PURPOSE IS NOT JUST TO GO AROUND AND START ARRESTING PEOPLE AND PUT THEM IN JAIL OR IN A HOSPITAL OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. WE WILL REACH OUT AND THE ORDINANCE. THERE WILL BE A SECTION THAT KIND OF SPELLS ALL OF THAT OUT, THAT THESE ARE THE STEPS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE.
WE'RE GOING TO WE ARE HERE TO HELP BASICALLY. SO THAT WILL BE PART OF THE ORDINANCE. SO IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY AND HUMANITARIAN AID. YES OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU.
MAYOR. MISS ALI, I LOVE WHAT YOU ALL HAVE PRESENTED ON THE RESEARCH YOU'VE DONE. I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT PLANO'S ONE THAT YOU HAVE. I'D LIKE A LOT OF WHAT THEY HAVE ON THE MEDIAN. I
[01:20:06]
ACTUALLY CALLED IN A COUPLE TIMES THIS YEAR FOR THAT EXACT REASON, BECAUSE I HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE HOLDING POSTER BOARD IN THE MEDIAN AND YOU LITERALLY COULD NOT SEE I WAS SCARED THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET HURT. SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THAT SAFETY FACTOR IS GOING TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ORDINANCE HAS A REPEAT OFFENDER CLAUSE IN IT, BECAUSE IT IS CITY RESOURCES. AND WHILE WE ARE HERE TO HELP FOR PEOPLE THAT WE OFFER HELP AND THEN THEY DON'T TAKE IT AND COME BACK AND DO THE SAME THING, THAT MEANS THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RECEIVE THAT HELP. AND WE CAN'T JUST KEEP SENDING POLICE RESOURCES AND PULLING IT AWAY FROM OTHER STUFF IF IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE AN EFFECT THERE. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING ON THAT. AND OTHER THAN THAT, I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU COME BACK WITH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS HOLLY. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, THANK YOU, MAYOR. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP, I APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES AND, YOU KNOW, REITERATING THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP AND NOT BULLY ANYBODY OUT OF THE CITY. I THINK WE HAVE THE RESOURCES IN PLACE WITH DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS IN TOWN THAT ARE WILLING TO HELP IF IT COMES TO HEALTH, IF IT COMES TO HOUSING, IF IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, BEING LATE ON BILLS AND WHATNOT, BEING ABLE TO PUT THEM IN A PATH TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND TO BE COMING OFF THE GROUND AND PUTTING THEM ON THE FEET, I THINK WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PUT THEM THROUGH. I ALSO DON'T WANT THEM TO THINK THAT THEY COME TO WILEY, AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT EVERYBODY THROUGH THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO THE BEST WE CAN. AND IF SOMEONE IS NOT WILLING TO USE THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE FOR THEM AND ENDANGERING OUR CITIZENS SAFETY ISSUES AND WHATNOT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE AT LEAST DEALING WITH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL COME AFTER THAT, AFTER ALL THE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MET, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER HERE IN WILEY. AND I THINK THE PREVIOUS WORKSHOP THAT WE DID, I THINK, SHOWS ENOUGH FOR WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME ON THIS AND CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AND EVERYBODY ELSE. AND MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP. OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRANG. YEAH, I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY, I THINK WHAT COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS MENTIONED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE ON A MEDIAN AND THEY DON'T REALIZE THIS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE A BIG SIGN OUT THERE, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY REALIZE WHAT THAT DOES TO THE FIELD OF VISION. RIGHT. AND JUST THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS FOR THE TRAFFIC THEMSELVES AND ALSO THE INDIVIDUALS. THIS WILL I THINK THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY TO HELP ADDRESS THAT. I ALSO APPRECIATE FOLKS BRINGING UP THAT ESSENTIALLY THAT THERE ARE SOME TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE FOLKS THAT DON'T WANT HELP. AND SO I THINK IT IS GOOD THAT WE PUT IN A PROVISION TO HANDLE THAT, OKAY.IN THE EVENT THAT IT HAPPENS. SO THIS IS REALLY NICE. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD IS AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE KIND OF DOING A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK, ENSURING. AND I KNOW THERE WERE SOME PLACES IN HERE KIND OF REFERENCED IT, BUT ALSO AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, BECAUSE I HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS OF PEOPLE AT INTERSECTIONS COMING UP, KNOCKING PHYSICALLY ON WINDOWS.
AND CHIEF IS SAYING IT'S IN THERE. SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT IF WE IF WE REWRITE IT AND EVENTUALLY TRY TO PURGE THE OLD THAT WE DON'T LOSE THAT WITH THE NEW. OKAY. JUST AGAIN, I KNOW IT COMES DOWN TO SAFETY AND IT MAY BE DONE WITH THE BEST OF INTENTIONS, BUT PEOPLE CAN BECOME VERY SCARED IF SOMEONE IS BANGING ON THEIR WINDOW. LAST THING I'D WANT TO DO IS HAVE THAT ESCALATE INTO A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE TOO, AND IT'S JUST NOT CONDUCIVE TO HAVE ESCALATED SITUATIONS AT AN INTERSECTION LIKE THAT. SO I KNOW IT'S IN THERE NOW. I JUST I DON'T KNOW, KIND OF YOUR PLAN. IF IT ALL MOVES INTO A NEW SECTION AND WE REMOVE THE OLD. BUT I JUST I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S MAINTAINED AS WELL.
AGAIN, IT'S NOT JUST THE SAFETY OF THE PERSON IN THE CAR WHO'S BEING SCARED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL, BUT IT'S THEIR POTENTIAL REACTION. RIGHT. AND WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS WHO IS KNOCKING ON THAT WINDOW? AGAIN, THEY MAY BE DOING IT WITH THE BEST OF INTENTION, JUST, YOU KNOW, SAYING HI, TRYING TO GET ATTENTION. AND SOMEONE COULD REACT IN A WAY THAT BECOMES A VERY BAD SITUATION. SO WE APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S WORK ON THIS. AND AGAIN, JUST REITERATING WHAT EVERYONE SAID. IT'S NOT ABOUT PUNISHING SOMEONE THAT NEEDS HELP. IT'S ABOUT ENSURING THAT THERE IS SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE FOR THOSE WHO ARE OUT AND ABOUT IN THE CITY, AND THOSE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES IN THAT SITUATION BOTH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO WITH THAT, THAT DOES
