SO THIS EVENING, WE ARE HERE TO HONOR THE YOUNG MEN SERVICE LEAGUE, THE WILEY CHAPTER. SO THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 2001, NOT FAR FROM HERE IN PLANO, TEXAS. AND IT IS A GROUP THAT IS BASED UPON MOTHERS WORKING WITH THEIR SONS IN ORDER TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS IN WILEY AND WHAT MAKES IT SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE IS THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE IT SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE. THIS IS A GREAT RECOGNITION BECAUSE THIS IS TRAINING THAT NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS, BECAUSE THEY'RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL, AND MOVE INTO ADULTHOOD. YES, FOR ALL OF THEM THAT NOW LOOKED AT ME WHEN I SAID THAT WORD. BUT YOU ARE, YOU WILL BE ENTERING AND BECOMING A YOUNG ADULT, AND THE TIME THAT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO THE COMMUNITY NOW, AND THE CHARACTER TRAITS THAT YOU ARE ESTABLISHING WILL LEAD YOU FAR IN LIFE. AND THOSE ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WE LOVE TO SEE IN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN WILEY, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF TEACHERS, OF BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS, COUNCIL MEMBERS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU SEEK TO ACHIEVE THOSE, YOU ARE THE ONES WHO WILL DO THAT HERE IN WILEY AND ABROAD. AND SO TO THE MOMS WHO ARE PUTTING IN THIS TIME, I REMEMBER WHAT I WAS LIKE AS A TEENAGER. SO I'M SURE IT'S DEFINITELY ENJOYABLE BECAUSE I 
          [00:05:05]
WOULD BE WILLING TO BET WITH EXTRACURRICULARS. IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM IN A QUALITY WAY, BUT I ALSO AM SURE THAT IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO MOLD THEM AS THEY GO THROUGH THOSE LAST STAGES BEFORE THEY LEAVE HOME. WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE MICROPHONE OVER, LET YOU ALL TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU DO HERE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AND ANY MORE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION.

CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ACCEPTANCE OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 2324. FOLLOWING A PRESENTATION BY THE AUDIT FIRM WEAVER LLP. MISS BROWN. THANK 
          [00:15:02]
YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS YOU KNOW, OUR CHARTER REQUIRES US TO HAVE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REVIEW THE CITY, ALL OF THE CITY'S ACCOUNTS EACH YEAR AFTER THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AND WE HAVE COMPLETED THAT AUDIT. AND JOHN, DEBORAH AND LAUREN ARE BOTH HERE FROM WEAVER TO PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE ACT FOR AND TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OF THEM. AND RON AND I ARE ALSO HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THIS IS THE FIFTH YEAR FOR THE AUDIT TO BE FORMED BY WEAVER. AFTER WE SELECTED THEM IN WITH AN RFP PROCESS IN 2020. THIS ALSO IS THE YEAR THAT WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER RFP. WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT TO GET THAT OUT IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JOHN DE BURGH. 
          THANKS. THANK YOU MELISSA, AND THANK YOU, RON. MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO MEET WITH YOU THIS EVENING TO PRESENT TO YOU THE RESULTS OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 AUDIT. AS MELISSA MENTIONED, MY NAME IS JOHN NAVARRO. I'M THE AUDIT PARTNER. 
          AND WITH ME IS LAUREN FUTCH, WHO IS THE AUDIT MANAGER ON THIS YEAR'S AUDIT AND HAVE A PRESENTATION SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH IN PREVIOUS YEARS. AND IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH MY PRESENTATION. I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. I'LL TRY NOT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF IT, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE AUDIT CYCLE, WE STARTED PLANNING THE AUDIT LAST SUMMER AND PERFORMED INTERIM FIELD WORK, WHICH I'LL ELABORATE ON. BACK IN AUGUST. WE PERFORMED OUR FIELD WORK DURING THE MONTHS OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, AND ISSUED OUR OPINION ON THE CITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LAST WEEK. WE CONDUCT OUR AUDIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS, AND WE USE A RISK BASED APPROACH BECAUSE WE CAN'T LOOK AT EVERY TRANSACTION OF THE CITY. SO WE LOOK AT AREAS OF HIGHER RISK AND WAY OUR RESOURCES MORE HEAVILY IN THOSE AREAS. SOME OF THOSE I'VE LISTED OUT HERE, SUCH AS REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED RECEIVABLES, CAPITAL PROJECTS, PURCHASING AND COMPLIANCE WITH BIDDING PROCEDURES, VARIOUS LIABILITIES LIKE PAYABLES AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES, LONG TERM DEBT. AND AS I MENTIONED, WE CAME OUT TO PERFORM INTERIM FIELD WORK. AND UNLIKE LAST YEAR, THERE WAS NO FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT REQUIRED OF THE CITY. THE FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY WERE UNDER THE THRESHOLD FOR REQUIRING A SINGLE AUDIT. SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT THIS YEAR. SO WE CONCENTRATED OUR EFFORTS IN INTERIM FIELD WORK ON LOOKING AT THE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER THE SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION CYCLES LIKE PAYROLL, CASH DISBURSEMENTS, CASH RECEIPTS AND SUCH. AND WE GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS, WE IDENTIFY THE CONTROLS, AND THEN WE WALK THROUGH TRANSACTIONS. WE TESTED COMPLIANCE WITH THE PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT AND PERFORMED CONTROL TESTING OVER THINGS SUCH AS CASH DISBURSEMENTS AND PAYROLL TRANSACTIONS. AND WHEN WE CAME BACK IN NOVEMBER, WE USED A VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES TO TEST THE ACCOUNT BALANCES AND THE ACTIVITY FOR THE YEAR. THINGS SUCH AS VOUCHING TRANSACTIONS TO SOURCE DOCUMENTATION, PERFORMING SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND ANALYTICS. AND WE ALSO ASSISTED WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE CITY'S ACT FOR. AND THIS IS THE NEWS THAT YOU REALLY WANTED TO HEAR WAS TELL ME, JOHN, ABOUT THE AUDIT REPORT. WE'VE ISSUED TWO REPORTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS YEAR'S AUDIT. THE FIRST IS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE'VE ISSUED AN UNMODIFIED OR CLEAN OPINION. SO WE FEEL THAT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE FAIRLY PRESENTED IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS. AND WE ALSO ISSUED A REPORT ON OUR CONSIDERATION OF THE CITY'S INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE. AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THERE WERE NO FINDINGS, NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES OR SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO MELISSA, RON AND THE REST OF THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, WHO, BY THE WAY, PROVIDED ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION THAT WE NEEDED IN A TIMELY FASHION. THE NEXT SESSION GOES THROUGH AUDITORS COMMUNICATION. THESE ARE REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE WITH YOU UNDER THE AUDIT STANDARDS. AND I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM. YOU HAVE THEM HERE FOR YOUR REFERENCE, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'LL JUST 
          [00:20:02]
HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THEM. WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS, WHICH ARE TO PERFORM AN AUDIT IN ORDER TO EXPRESS AN OPINION ON YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AND I MENTIONED THAT WE ISSUED A CLEAN OPINION. THEN WE ALSO HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER GENERALLY ACCEPTED GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS, WHICH ARE TO ISSUE A WRITTEN REPORT ON A CONSIDERATION OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE. AND WE ISSUED A CLEAN OPINION THERE. THERE WERE NO FINDINGS IN THAT REPORT. SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU, IF THERE WAS A NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD THAT HAD A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WE WOULD LET YOU KNOW. BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT HAD A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THIS YEAR. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY FRAUD OR IRREGULARITIES. THERE WERE SEVERAL ESTIMATES THAT ARE EMBODIED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AND WE LOOKED AT THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS THAT MAKE UP THOSE ESTIMATES AND FELT THAT THEY WERE ALL REASONABLE IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AND WE'RE ALSO REQUIRED TO COMMUNICATE TO IF THERE ARE ANY SIGNIFICANT AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE HAD TO MAKE TO ARRIVE AT THE NUMBERS AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THERE WERE NONE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE IMMATERIAL PAST ADJUSTMENT AS A RESULT OF OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES. 
          AND FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH SOME FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS WITH YOU. THESE ARE NUMBERS THAT COME DIRECTLY FROM YOUR ACT FOR BOTH THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR. AND I'D LIKE TO START WITH REVENUES AND THE GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES FOR THE CITY OF WILEY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 TOTALED $78.7 MILLION. THAT WAS A $2 MILLION INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND IT WAS REALLY THE NET EFFECT OF THREE THINGS THE AD VALOREM TAX TAXES INCREASED BY $3.5 MILLION THIS PAST YEAR. SALES TAXES WENT UP ABOUT $800,000, AND THERE WAS A $2.3 MILLION REDUCTION IN INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES. AND THAT WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE ARPA MONEY THAT HAD BEEN SPENT IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND THIS SLIDE JUST SHOWS YOU KIND OF A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF EACH OF THE REVENUE SOURCES OF THE CITY AS FAR AS THE GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES. AND YOU CAN SEE THE AD VALOREM TAXES, FOR INSTANCE, INCREASING FROM 37.9 TO 41.4 MILLION. THE SALES TAXES SIMILARLY INCREASED SIMILARLY INCREASING, AND THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES GOING DOWN FROM 8.8 TO 6.5 THIS YEAR. SIMILARLY, THE EXPENDITURES ARE PRESENTED ON THE NEXT TWO SLIDES. THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS EXPENDITURES TOTALED $97.8 MILLION THIS YEAR. THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR, $29.9 MILLION INCREASE. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THAT WAS RELATED TO THE CAPITAL OUTLAY AND JUST THE TIMING OF THE CAPITAL PROJECTS GOING ON IN THE CITY. SO CAPITAL OUTLAY EXPENDITURES INCREASED $17 MILLION THIS PAST YEAR. THERE WERE MUCH SMALLER INCREASES IN PUBLIC SAFETY, GENERAL GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. AND AGAIN, THERE'S A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF EACH OF THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF EXPENDITURES HERE. AND YOU CAN SEE THE ONE THAT REALLY STUCK OUT WAS THE CAPITAL OUTLA, INCREASING FROM 2.8 MILLION TO 19.8 THIS YEAR IS THE PROJECTS WERE UP AND RUNNING. THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS FUND BALANCE TOTALED $78.9 MILLION AS OF SEPTEMBER 30TH, AND THAT WAS A DECREASE OF $16.1 MILLION FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND AGAIN, IT'S FOR THE SAME REASON, BECAUSE THE TIMING OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY EXPENDITURES ON THE PROJECTS DECREASED. THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BALANCE BY $13.3 MILLION. SO THAT COMPRISED MOST OF THAT CHANGE. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH WAS $26.2 MILLION, REPRESENTS 43.8% OF THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES, WHICH IS A HEALTHY AMOUNT AND MEETS THE CRITERIA THAT THE TOWN SETS FOR ITS FUND BALANCE. ON THE GENERAL FUND. THE GENERAL FUND IS THE MAIN OPERATING FUND OF THE CITY, AND EACH YEAR THE PART OF THE ACT HAS A BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE THAT LOOKS AT THE ORIGINAL BUDGET, THE FINAL BUDGET, AND THE ACTUAL REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES, AND THE CITY EXPERIENCED A POSITIVE BUDGETARY VARIANCE OF $5 MILLION THIS PAST YEAR. AND THE BIGGEST COMPONENTS OF THAT ARE THE FACT THAT ACTUAL REVENUES EXCEEDED THE BUDGET BY $1.4 MILLION. MUCH OF THAT POSITIVE VARIANCE WAS IN NON PROPERTY TAXES LIKE SALES TAXES AND SERVICES REVENUE. ACTUAL EXPENDITURES WERE $3.2 MILLION UNDER BUDGET DUE TO INTENTIONAL 
          [00:25:02]
SAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND FINALLY, JUST TAKING A QUICK LOOK AT THE WATER AND SEWER FUND OR THE ENTERPRISE FUND OF THE CITY. NET POSITION IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND INCREASED BY $7 MILLION OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. IN LOOKING AT THE COMPONENTS, OPERATING REVENUES INCREASED BY $1.7 MILLION DUE TO BOTH RATE INCREASES AS WELL AS INCREASED CONSUMPTION OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. OPERATING EXPENSES INCREASED AS WELL $1.9 MILLION DUE TO INCREASED WATER COSTS AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT COSTS. NONOPERATING REVENUES INCREASED TO HALF $1 MILLION DUE TO INCREASED IN I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW, INCREASED INTEREST INCOME AND TRANSFERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS DECREASED $1.7 MILLION DUE TO A REDUCTION IN CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS IMPACT FEES OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. IN A NUTSHELL, THAT'S MY PRESENTATION AGAIN, THE AUDIT WENT VERY WELL AND IT'S A TRIBUTE TO EVERYBODY IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, SIR, AND FOR THE WORK THAT YOUR FIRM DOES TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS A THIRD PARTY WHO IS LOOKING TO ENSURE THAT THEIR TAX MONEY IS BEING SPENT APPROPRIATELY IN THE WAY THAT IT IS BEING PUBLICLY STATED THAT IT IS. MISS BROWN AND YOUR TEAM. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON ANOTHER YEAR OF HAVING A CLEAN AUDIT RESULT AND CONTINUING THAT TRANSPARENCY TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF HOW ALL OF THESE FUNDS ARE UTILIZED. I'LL OPEN IT UP TO MY COLLEAGUES. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. DE BURGH OR FOR MISS BROWN? WELL DONE. OKAY. 
          DOESN'T APPEAR THAT WE DO. OKAY. SO ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD, SIR? NO. MR. BROWN, ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD? ALL RIGHT. WELL, AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING AND PRESENTING THIS. AND I WILL REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DIGGING INTO THE DETAILS OF ANY OF THIS INFORMATION, THE PACKET TONIGHT HAS THE ACFR IN THERE WHICH DELINEATES ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT THAT THEY WERE AUDITING ALL THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THERE. SO IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN GETTING IN THERE AND LOOKING AT ANYTHING IN DETAIL, ALL OF THAT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. AND IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS AT ANOTHER TIME, JUST FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO MYSELF. LAUREN. OKAY, SO WITH THAT, I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION. 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 AS PRESENTED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? THANK YOU. MAYOR. I SECOND, WE DO HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. 
          [2. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2025-08 amending Wylie's Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 2021- 17, as amended, Appendix A (Comprehensive Fee Schedule), Section II (Garbage, Trash and Brush Fees), Section VI (Planning and Zoning), Section VII (Police Department), Section VIII (Public Library), and Section XII (Municipal Court Fees).]
THANK YOU. SO WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025. DASH ZERO EIGHT AMENDING WILEY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE NUMBER 2021 DASH 17 IS AMENDED. APPENDIX A COMPREHENSIVE FEE. SCHEDULE. SECTION TWO GARBAGE, TRASH, AND BRUSH FEES. SECTION SIX PLANNING AND ZONING. SECTION SEVEN POLICE DEPARTMENT.

DO YOU WANT ME TO GO DOWN FRONT? OKAY. WITH PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE AGENDA REPORT, WE OUTLINE THE FIVE SECTIONS THAT ARE CHANGING AND WHY THE CHANGES ARE THERE. WE ALSO PROVIDED A STRIKE THROUGH AND READ OF THE CURRENT FEES. AND WITH THE CHANGES BEING MADE AND THE PACKET FOR YOUR REVIEW, IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION, SIR? I SAW YOU REACH FORWARD. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, MISS STORM. SO ON OUR TRASH FEES, ARE ARE THOSE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR CONTRACT WITH C.W.D? DID THEY SEEM TO LINE UP PRETTY WELL. SO IT LOOKS WE DID SOME RESEARCH ON THAT ONE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE CONTRACT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL IN AUGUST ON AUGUST 8TH, 2023, AND IT WAS FOR TWO YEARS OF FEES. BUT AN ORDINANCE WASN'T BROUGHT BEFORE COUNCIL OF THIS PAST YEAR IN 2024 TO CHANGE THE FEES, BUT THOSE FEES ARE ALREADY BEING CHARGED THAT WERE IN THE IN THE CONTRACT. SO THIS IS JUST CLEANING UP THE COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE TO MATCH THE ACTUAL FEES BEING CHARGED AND THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE CONTRACT IN 23. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WOULD END UP HELPING TIE THEM TOGETHER RATHER THAN CREATE MORE SEPARATION. YES. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. 
          THERE ARE NONE. I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM. COUNCILMAN MALIK. MAYOR, I MAKE A MOTION TO 
          [00:30:05]

MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE MUNICIPAL WALKING TRAILS. PHASE THREE ARTISTS TO SIGN BY SUNNY BAYERN AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $59,190, INCLUDING A CONTRACT TO COMMISSION THE ART AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. AS ERLICH MAYOR AND COUNCIL. TONIGHT, THE PUBLIC ART ADVISORY BOARD IS PRESENTING TWO ART SITES ON THE WALKING TRAILS BEHIND THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX AND THE REC CENTER. THE FIRST ONE IS ECHOES OF THE PRAIRIE, AND IT IS DONE BY ARTIST SUNNY BEAN. AND HE WAS UNABLE TO COME TONIGHT, BUT HE HAS SENT AN AUDIO AND VIDEO TO SHOW YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. HI EVERYONE! FOR THOSE I HAVEN'T MET BEFORE, MY NAME IS SUNNY BEAN AND I'M AN ARTIST BASED OUT OF MIAMI IN CAPE TOWN AND I SPECIALIZE IN PAINTING AND SCULPTURE, MOSTLY WILDLIFE AND ABSTRACT. AND TODAY I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH MY PROPOSAL. IT'S CALLED ECHOES OF THE PRAIRIE, AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO APOLOGIZE THAT I'M NOT THERE IN PERSON. I'M IN SOUTH AFRICA AT THE MOMENT, BUT I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE TAKING THE TIME AND ATTENTION JUST TO GO THROUGH THIS PROPOSAL AND JUST TO GET A GOOD IDEA ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. AND YEAH, I'M PERSONALLY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE SCULPTURE. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY COOL AND A GREAT ODE TO THE HISTORY OF WILEY'S. SO YEAH, I LOOK FORWARD TO COLLABORATING ON IT. AND YEAH, LET ME TAKE YOU THROUGH THE PROPOSAL. MY PROPOSED SCULPTURE IS TITLED ECHOES OF THE PRAIRIE. IT'S A LARGE SCALE BRONZE SCULPTURE OF A REARING WHITE TAILED STAG, SYMBOLIZING THE NATURAL HERITAGE OF WILEY AND HONORING THE NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTORS WHO ONCE ROAMED THESE LANDS. THE CLAY MAQUETTES I'VE CREATED REPRESENTS THE FINAL VISION OF THE SCULPTURE, SCALED TO A LIFE SIZE, PROPORTION AND READY FOR PRODUCTION. I WANTED THE SCULPTURE TO CAPTURE THIS OTHERWORLDLY MOMENT OF A DEER CAUGHT BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, WITH THESE FRAGMENTED FORMS THAT CONVEY BOTH MOTION AND EMOTION. I THINK THE DYNAMIC FRAGMENTATION IS A POWERFUL VISUALIZATION OF THE DEER'S IMPORTANCE TO THE LANDS. BUT THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, I THINK IT'S TIMELESS. IT'S SURREAL. QUALITY HIGHLIGHTS THE WORK'S NARRATIVE AND EMOTIONAL DEPTH. 
          THIS PIECE IS MEANT TO SPARK REFLECTION ON THE LAND'S HISTOR, WHILE EMBODYING THE SPIRIT OF SURVIVAL AND STRENGTH INHERENT TO THE NATURAL WORLD AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. I HOPE THAT IT WILL SERVE AS A TIMELESS TRIBUTE TO WILEY'S CULTURAL HERITAGE, CONNECTING RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO THEIR LAND HISTORY WHILE ENHANCING THE ESTHETIC VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          THESE ARE JUST SOME OTHER ANGLES OF THE MAQUETTE. FROM THE MAQUETTE. THE SCULPTURE HAS BEEN 3D SCANNED AND SCALED TO THE REQUIRED SIZE, ALL ENSURING THAT THERE'S ACCURATE PROPORTIONS. 
          THE FINAL DESIGN JUST HAS ONE CHANGE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE, WHICH IS THE REMOVAL OF THE ARROWS. AFTER SOME DISCUSSIONS. THIS CHANGE, I THINK, REFLECTS THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE AMERICAN TRIBES A BIT BETTER, INCLUDING THE CADDO PEOPLE. THEY HELD A PROFOUND RESPECT FOR WILDLIFE, SO THEIR PRACTICES IN HUNTING WERE HUMANE. AND I THINK THEIR ADJUSTMENTS TAKING THESE ARROWS OUT, SO MANY OF THE ARROWS ALIGNS A BIT BETTER WITH THE VALUES. AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, ALSO 
          [00:35:06]
EMPHASIZING THE REVERENCE FOR THE NATURAL WORLD. AND THE SCULPTURE IS GOING TO BE CREATED USING THE LOST TRADITIONAL LOST WAX METHOD, WHICH IS A VERY TRIED AND TESTED METHOD FOR GETTING THE DETAIL AND ACCURACY. AND IT'S BEEN USED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, HUNDREDS OF YEARS. SO WE WILL GET THE INTRICATE DETAIL THAT I THAT I NOT ONLY THAT I'VE PUT IN THE MAQUETTE, BUT THE LARGE ONE THAT I'LL, THAT I'LL SCULPT, WHICH IS LIFE SIZE. SO ANY MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE CASTING PROCESS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A LOOK AT? I'VE INCLUDED IN THE BROCHURE SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE A LOOK IN YOUR OWN TIME. OKAY, NOW WE'LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY FEATURES. I PUT THIS VIDEO TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU A GOOD VISUAL JOURNEY OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SO THE SCULPTURE WILL BE CAST IN BRONZE, WHICH IS A DURABLE MATERIAL WHICH IS KNOWN FOR BEING TIMELESS AND ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE HARSH OUTDOOR CONDITIONS. SURFACE WILL HAVE THIS WHITE PATINA THAT YOU SEE WHICH IS CREATED USING BISMUTH. 
          I REALLY LOVE IT BECAUSE IT GIVES IT THIS VERY GHOSTLY FEELING AND ALMOST LIKE A GODLY, GODLY LOOK. WHICH IS A GOOD NOTE TO THE PAST AND ALSO JUST HONORS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LAND AND THE WILDLIFE AND THE PEOPLE OF THAT TIME, YOU KNOW. THE VIDEO MOVES TO THE ANTLERS. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ANTLERS ARE GOLD. WE'RE GOING TO CREATE THIS BY POLISHING THE BRONZE WHICH CREATES THIS GOLD LOOK. AND THEN THAT WILL BE CLEAR COATED. THE POINT OF THIS IS TO SYMBOLIZE THE VALUE OF THESE ANIMALS TO THE PLANET. AND PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY THE CADDO TRIBES. 
          SO. YEAH, THESE THESE ANTLERS, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, SERVE AS A REMINDER OF THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS THAT OF HUMANS AND NATURE. I DO IT IN MOST WITH ALL MY ANIMALS, WHETHER IT'S TEETH OR THE ANTLERS. THE BASE. WHEN WE COME BACK AROUND, YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THAT IT'S. COLORED. THIS IS AN ABSTRACT PATTERN THAT I PUT IN ALL MY WORK. THE COLORS THAT I USE IN MY WORK FOR OUTDOOR MURALS ARE VERY IT'S MUTED, BUT IT'S STILL BRIGHT. AND THEY BLEND VERY EASILY IN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO HOW A SKY IS VERY BRIGHT AND COLORFUL, BUT IT'S NOT VERY JARRING. IT'S VERY SOFT. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT PATTERN ON THE BASE. THE BASE IS MADE FROM IRON AND IRON STRUCTURE, AND THEN IT'S CLADDED WITH THREE MIL STAINLESS STEEL. I WILL BE CLEAR CUTTING THIS WITH AUTOMOTIVE CLEAR, WHICH WILL GIVE IT THE UV STABILITY. AND YEAH, IT WILL LAST OUTDOORS VERY WELL. IN TERMS OF THE CASTING, IT'S GOING TO BE PERFORMED BY SCULPTOR CASTING SERVICES IN CAPE TOWN. I'VE USED THEM FOR MY SCULPTURES IN THE PAST. THEY SPECIALIZE IN ANIMAL SCULPTURES. THEY ARE AFRICA'S MAIN ANIMAL SCULPTURE, SCULPTING, SCULPTURE, CASTING, FOUNDRY. SO WHEN IT COMES TO ANIMALS, THEY ARE I CAN RELY ON THEM. I'VE LEFT. I'VE. I USED THEM FOR MY MONUMENTAL TIGER THAT I USE THAT I PUT IN THE UN, AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. SO I CHOSE TO GET IT MADE BY THEM INSTEAD OF THE US, JUST BECAUSE IT'S TRIED AND TESTED FOR ME WITHOUT STARTING WITH SOMEBODY NEW FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          YEAH. ANY MORE DETAILS ABOUT THEM? IT'S IN THE BROCHURE. IN TERMS OF THE MAINTENANCE FOR THIS, IT IS A BRONZE SCULPTURE AND IT WILL BE OUTDOORS. THERE IS SOME MAINTENANCE INVOLVED, CLEANING AND WAXING EVERY SIX MONTHS, BASICALLY JUST TO PRESERVE THAT PATINA. I'VE PUT A 
          [00:40:06]
DETAILED PLAN IN THE BROCHURE THAT YOU CAN HAVE A LOOK AT. BUT YEAH, I HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT IT'S LOOKING LIKE. THE SCULPTURE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATE WITH THE WALKING TRAILS IN WILEY, ACTING AS A FOCAL POINT. I WANTED TO RESONATE WITH THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL NARRATIVE OF THE AREA. THE SCULPTURE WE'RE GOING TO PLACE ON A CONCRETE PAD, THIS IS GOING TO BE OUTSOURCED BY A LOCAL CONTRACTOR. THIS WILL GIVE IT THE STABILITY AND, AND, AND FOUNDATION TO, TO SECURE IT TO. THE SITE WILL ALSO BE ILLUMINATED. WE'RE GOING TO USE A LOCAL SUPPLIER TO ADD LIGHTS WHICH WILL AT NIGHTTIME GIVE IT THAT VERY DRAMATIC APPEARANCE. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE COOL TO SEE IN THE DAYTIME THE LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE HOLLOW PARTS, AND AT NIGHT TIME IT WILL ILLUMINATE FROM THE INSIDE AND MOVE AROUND ALMOST LIKE THE SUN OR THE LEAVES. SO YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY COOL. THE LIGHTING IS. I'M QUITE EXCITED TO SEE WHAT IT DOES. ALSO, THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT WILL ALSO MAKE THE GOLD JUST GLOW IN THE DARK. 
          ALMOST THE BASE. WE HAVE RAISED IT UP QUITE A BIT. THIS GIVES IT THAT VERY DRAMATIC FEEL. AND ALSO IT'S GOING TO ADDRESS ANY OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH PEOPLE INTERACTING WITH IT AND SHOULD HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, DETER PEOPLE FROM CLIMBING ON I. 
          WHEN WE INSTALL IT, WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL IT, KEEPING IN MIND HOW IT'S GOING TO CONNECT WITH THE LANDSCAPE AND THE INTERPLAY WITH THE OTHER SCULPTURE. SO THE POSITION AND THE ANGLE OF IT, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO REALLY NAIL. ANY DETAILS THAT YOU NEED FOR THE LOCAL CONTRACTORS THAT I'M USING, I'VE INCLUDED. BUT YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO REALLY BE A STANDOUT PIECE ONCE IT'S ONCE IT'S IN ITS ENVIRONMENT. LIKE I SAID, IT'S ALMOST JUST FROZEN IN TIME. LIKE THIS GOES. SO YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY COOL, VERY EXCITED. THIS IS THE TIMELINE THAT WE PUT TOGETHER. IT. I JUST OUTLINED OUTLINES THE KEY MILESTONES FOR THE PROJECT. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS, JUST LET ME KNOW. YOU CAN HAVE A LOOK OVER IT. THE BUDGET BREAKDOWN HASN'T CHANGED SINCE THE BEGINNING, SO IF YOU NEED TO GO OVER THAT, I'VE ADDED IT BACK IN HERE AGAIN. AND YEAH, THAT'S MY PRESENTATION. YOU CAN GO BACK ON THIS AND PLAY ANY OF THESE VIDEOS JUST TO WATCH AGAIN. I'LL ALSO INCLUDE THEM IN THE FOLDER THAT I, THAT I SEND OVER IF YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A LOOK AT IT OR SHARE IT. AND YEAH, I'M EXCITED TO COLLABORATE ON THIS AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO LOOK AMAZING. THANKS, GUYS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LONG, BUT YEAH, AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING IN PERSON. AND YEAH. HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH. TAKE IT EASY. OKAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. SO NOT A QUESTION, BUT JUST WANT TO REMIND THOSE WHO MAY BE WATCHING OR PRESENT THIS EVENING THAT THE FUNDS FOR THE ARTWORK COME FROM THE EVENTS THAT THE ARTS BOARD WORKS TO PUT ON. SO THIS IS NOT USING YOUR PROPERTY TAXES OR THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE ARTWORK. THIS IS THE ARTS FESTIVAL AND OTHER FESTIVALS THAT ARE PUT ON. 
          VOLUNTEERS WORK THAT AND THEN THE YOU KNOW, THE REVENUES FROM THAT GO TOWARDS THE PUBLIC ART THAT'S PUT FORWARD. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ALWAYS HAVE NEW PEOPLE IN THE CITY JUST TO ENSURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT FUNDING COMES FROM. FOR THE ARTWORK THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH HERE, AND THEN TO COUNCIL. IN CASE ANYONE MISSED IT, THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO THE FINAL DESIGN, MISS STORM. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN PUT UP 
          [00:45:01]
QUICKLY, OR IF NOT, THAT'S OKAY. IT WAS IN THE BROCHURE THAT WAS SENT TO YOU AND IT IS BLUE AND SAYS FINAL DESIGN ON IT. AND THAT IS THE CHANGE IN THE ANTLERS. YEAH. AND THAT JUST FOR THE PUBLIC IF WE DON'T. THERE IT IS. YEP. SO IT'S JUST AN UPDATE TO THE ANTLERS FOR ACCURACY WITH THE WHITETAIL POPULATION. SO I KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COMMENTED ON. AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP AROUND A LOT OF WHITETAIL DEER AS WELL AS MULE DEER, THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC, OR ONE OF THEM FOR A MULE DEER, FORKED ANTLERS. WHEREAS THE GENETICS FOR WHITETAIL DO NOT CREATE FORKED ANTLERS UNLESS IT IS A MUTATION. SO I WAS VERY PLEASED THAT HE WANTED TO KEEP THAT ANATOMICALLY CORRECT AND TRY TO PRESENT THE SPECIES AS A HEALTHY REPRESENTATION IN THAT IN THAT REGARD. SO APPRECIATE YOU ALL WORKING WITH HIM ON THAT. AND THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK. SORRY. IT'S BEEN AROUND LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF THEM OVER THE YEARS. SO BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT PIECE. COUNCIL DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE ITEM. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK. THAT LOOKS REALLY NEAT. I DID A COUPLE SEARCHES JUST LOOKING AT THE MATERIALS HE'S GOING TO USE, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SAY HOW LONG. THIS NUMBER SAYS HOW LONG IT'LL LAST. IT'S LIKE MILLION, BILLION, TRILLION. AND THEN IT'S ANOTHER SEVERAL ROUNDS OF ZEROS. SO IT'LL BE HERE FOR A WHILE. 
          REALLY EXCITED TO SEE IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DUKE, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. AND IT LOOKS INCREDIBLY NICE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY, MISS STORM, FOR THIS. THERE IS THE FINAL DESIGN. DO WE NEED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO STATE THAT OR ARE WE FINE AS IS IN THE MOTION. IF YOU CAN JUST INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE AS AMENDED. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ACCEPTING. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. SO WITH THAT I WOULD BE IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM. COUNCILMAN MALIK, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM WITH THE FINAL DESIGN AS PRESENTED. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND IT. MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE, INCLUDING THE FINAL DESIGN AS AMENDED AND PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES 
          [4. Consider, and act upon, the approval of the Municipal Walking Trails, Phase 3 (2) artist design by Seth Vandable at a cost not to exceed $60,000, the approval of a contract to commission the art, and authorizing the City Manager to execute any and all documents.]
SEVEN ZERO. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM FOUR THIS EVENING, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE MUNICIPAL WALKING TRAILS. PHASE THREE. TWO ARTISTS DESIGNED BY SETH VANDERBILT AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $60,000. THE APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT TO COMMISSION THE ART AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          THE SECOND PIECE, AND THE LAST PIECE BEHIND THE MUNICIPAL WALKING TRAILS, WILL BE PRAIRIE HUNTER, AND IT IS A REPLICA OF A CADDO NATIVE AMERICAN HUNTER, AND IT WILL BE SET IN THE SAME AREA AS OUR DEER. I ASSUME HE'LL BE HUNTING THE DEER, POTENTIALLY. WHEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT ALIGNING. YES. OKAY. AND AS SETH VANDERBILT, THE ARTIST, IS HERE TONIGHT WITH HIS WIFE MISSY, TO PRESENT HIS PIECE, MR. SPACE, I THINK THE DOWN ARROW, THE DOWN ARROW. THE DOWN ARROW. 
          DOWN ARROW. THE DOWN ARROW. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING, MR. MAYOR. AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS SETH VANDERBILT. I'M A LOCAL SCULPTOR. I LIVE IN THE CEDAR HILL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE METROPLEX. AND GO BACK A BIT. SO MY PROPOSAL, MY PRESENTATION IS ACTUALLY BASED ON THE CALL FOR ARTIST AND THE REQUEST BY THE ARTS DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY TO HAVE A NATIVE AMERICAN REPRESENTATION OF A PRAIRIE HUNTER. THAT WOULD BE A COMPANION PIECE TO THAT DEER. MY PROPOSAL IS A LIFE SIZE BRONZE AS WELL. THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING. I'M KNOWN FOR LIFE SIZE AND LARGER MONUMENTAL SCULPTURES. SOME OF THEM ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST IN THE COUNTRY. THIS IS THE ENTRYWAY PIECE TO CASPER, WYOMING, 40FT TALL, THIS IS THE HOUSTON ASTROS MINOR LEAGUE TEAM, THE CORPUS CHRISTI HOOKS. I THINK THAT'S THE LARGEST BRONZE BASEBALL PLAYER IN EXISTENCE. AND SO I DO THESE KINDS OF PIECES. I'VE BEEN A FULL TIME SCULPTOR FOR 35 YEARS. THIS IS A PARTICULAR HONOR. I PIECES WILL SCROLL THROUGH SOME. I HAVE PIECES ALL OVER THE METROPLEX. SOUTH LAKE, 
          [00:50:01]
4 OR 5 PIECES IN ARLINGTON, AND I INSTALLED PIECES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AGAIN, CARROLL SHELBY I THINK, IS COMING UP. SHELBY OF AMERICA MUSEUM IN BOULDER. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU GUYS ARE CAR FANS, BUT THAT WAS A FUN PIECE. THIS IS ONE OF MY RECENT PIECES IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, WHICH KIND OF DEMONSTRATES THE RANGE OF PATINAS THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. I BELIEVE THIS PIECE OF THE PRAIRIE HUNTER WILL BE MORE OF A TRADITIONAL BRONZE PATINA, BUT AGAIN, THIS PRESENTATION IS BASED ON THE CALL FOR ARTISTS THAT THE CITY PUT FORWARD. AND SO THIS IS TRULY YOUR IDEA. COME TO LIFE TO THE BEST THAT I CAN PRESENT IT. THE CADDO PEOPLE WERE PROLIFIC IN THIS AREA. IT WAS VERY POPULOUS PEOPLE. BUT INTERESTINGLY, THEY'RE VERY KIND OF UNDERREPRESENTED IN ART. SO IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SPECIFICALLY A CADDO HUNTER. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS IS, CAN I STOP FROM SCROLLING ON ITS OWN OR IS THIS GOING TO GO THROUGH? I'LL JUST I'LL TRY TO CATCH. SO IS THERE A WAY TO STOP IT OR. I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW. THIS PROGRAM. HOME OF THIS PROGRAM IS. AWESOME. WHAT IS IT, BOSS? OKAY, OKAY. JUST. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I CAN GO BACK A BIT. IS IT STILL SNOWING? WELL, I'VE LOST IT. SO. AND THEN. OKAY. VERY GOOD. WELL. DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE PRESENTATION? THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT. THAT'S QUITE. IF YOU WANT, MISS STORM CAN WALK THROUGH IT ONE SLIDE AT A TIME FOR YOU. IT'S FINE. IT'S FINE JUST LIKE THIS. IT'S FINE. DID YOU GET A LITTLE HANDOUTS AS WELL? YEAH. OKAY. BASICALLY THE IDEA IS TO MAKE THE PIECE AS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF A CADDO HUNTER AS POSSIBLE. EVERYTHING FROM THE HAIRSTYLE, THE FEATHERS, THE JEWELRY, THE HANDMADE JEWELRY OF THE PEOPLE. EVERYTHING IS ACCURATE AND HISTORICALLY PERFECT AS POSSIBLE. I'M A BIG FIELD MUSEUM FAN. I'VE. THE IDEA IS TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE PUT OUT IN FRONT OF THE FIELD MUSEUM AS KIND OF THE DEFINITIVE CADDO REPRESENTATION. I'VE NEVER SEEN A LIFE SIZE CADDO NATIVE AMERICAN IN IN ART, AND SO THIS MAY BE THE FIRST OF ITS KIND AND KIND OF A NEAT, A NEAT THING FOR THE AREA. BUT HAVING IT LIFE SIZE, THE DETAIL WILL BE EVEN MUCH GREATER THAN ON THE MAQUETTE. THE JEWELRY VERY SPECIFIC TO THE PEOPLE, THE WAY THEY WERE MADE. A LOT OF TIMES YOU THINK THESE ARE BEAR CLAWS NECKLACES. MOST OF THE TIME THEY WERE SHARPENED ANTLERS AND ACTUAL FRESHWATER CLAM SHELLS THAT WERE MADE OF THE JEWELRY. SO ON A LIFE SIZE PIECE, WE CAN CREATE VERY FINE DETAIL WHERE THE IDEA IS THE VIEWERS CAN WALK UP TO THE PIECE AND ACTUALLY LEARN A LITTLE BIT HOW ARROWHEADS ARE SLID INTO SHAFT AND HOW THEY'RE CONNECTED, THINGS LIKE THIS. THE BOW ITSELF, VERY PARTICULAR TO THE TIME AN INDIAN LONGBOW, MUCH DIFFERENT THAN A RECURVE OR SOMETHING THAT A MODERN HUNTER MIGHT USE. BUT EVERYTHING BEING VERY SPECIFIC TO THE TIME, THE CLOTHING, THE MOCCASINS. WE CAN EVEN GET THE BEADWORK. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A CLOSE UP OF THE MOCCASINS, BUT THE VERY FINE BEADWORK AND THE FRINGE THAT WAS THAT IS RELATED TO THE TIME WE CAN GET THAT 100% ACCURATE ON A LIFE SIZE PIECE. AND SO THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE CAN BE OUT ON THE WALKING TRAILS AND ACTUALLY THINK, WELL, WHO, WHO ARE THE EARLIEST RESIDENTS OF WYLIE AND WHO STOOD HERE 500 YEARS AGO OR A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, I THINK IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO HONOR THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE BEFORE US, AND KIND OF AS A REMINDER TO THOSE WALKING AND ENJOYING THE SPACE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STEWARDS OF THE AREA AND OF NATURE NOW, AND TO LOOK BACK AND HONOR THE PEOPLE AGAIN THAT WERE HERE BEFORE US. SOME OF THE ASPECTS OF IT THAT ARE I, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW FAR ALONG Y'ALL WOULD BE WITH WITH THE WHITETAIL PROJECT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE RUNNING CONCURRENTLY. MY THOUGHT IS TO ADAPT A PIECE AS ONCE WE SEE THE EXACT LOCATION OF EACH 
          [00:55:07]
AND TO ADAPT ACTUALLY THE TRAJECTORY OF THE BOW AND EVERYTHING SO THAT IT MATCHES AND IT LINES UP WITH THE PIECE. IT'S INTERESTING THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT. YOU'VE GOT MORE OF A CONCEPTUAL WHITETAIL, WHICH I THINK MAKES IT AN INTERESTING COUNTERPOINT TO THE VERY TRADITIONAL REPRESENTATION OF THE HUNTER IN INTERESTING TO THE VIEWER AS WELL. I WAS VERY PLEASED THAT Y'ALL WERE WILLING TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT TO NOT HAVE THE ARROWS IN THE GROUND. I THINK THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THAT HE WOULDN'T TAKE A SHOT UNLESS IT WAS A HUMANE SHOT. AND SO I THINK THAT'S THAT'S A VERY NICE TOUCH THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT. BUT I'M VERY HAPPY TO WORK ALONG WITH THE OTHER ARTISTS. I LOVE THIS PROPOSAL. ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE TO HELP MAKE THEM MORE COMPATIBLE? I CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. AS FAR AS THE CASTING ITSELF, I'VE BEEN USING THE SAME FOUNDRY IN ARLINGTON FOR 30 YEARS. SCHAEFER ART BRONZE. THEY'RE EXCELLENT. WE'VE NEVER BLOWN A BUDGET. WE'RE ALWAYS FINISHED ON TIME AND IN BUDGET. I BELIEVE OUR TIME SCHEDULE IS VERY SIMILAR TO MR. BEAN'S PROJECT. SO TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT YEAR FOR FINAL AND COMPLETION INSTALLATION, VERY SIMILARLY, IT'LL BE PUT ON A CONCRETE PAD. EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED TO BE AS VISITOR AND KID FRIENDLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          NORMALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT SHARP PIECES, YOU WANT TO MAKE THEM AS AGAIN, IT MIGHT GET CLIMBED ON AS A HIDING LITTLE SHARP POINTS LIKE THE ARROW POINT WITHIN THE HAND, THINGS LIKE THAT. THESE DETAILS ARE DESIGNED TO BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE FOR THE VIEWER TO ENJOY, AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS. SIMILARLY LOST WAX BRONZE I THINK MR. BEAN ARTICULATED IT WELL. THIS IS A DURABLE MATERIAL. IT'S GOING TO LAST FOREVER. I DO MY OWN PATINAS AND THE IDEA IS TO CREATE SOME CONTRAST WITHIN IT. WE'LL DO A TRADITIONAL PATINA, BUT SOME CONTRAST THAT WILL MAKE LITTLE DETAILS STAND OUT AND SIMILARLY FINISHED WITH A CLEAR COAT SEALANT. IT'S LASTS FOR DECADES AND VERY LITTLE, VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE AT ALL. WE HAVE LIGHTING PLANNED AS WELL, AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING WILL BE HANDLED ON TIME AND IN BUDGET FOR SURE. OKAY, THANK YOU SIR. 
          COUNCIL, I WANT TO OPEN IT UP IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. AGAIN, THANK YOU, SIR, FOR COMING THIS EVENING AND FOR OBVIOUSLY THE WORK AND RESEARCH THAT WENT INTO THIS PIECE, AS WELL AS TO OUR STAFF AND TO OUR ART BOARD. I KNOW A LOT OF THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO IT AND DEFINITELY ENJOYING SEEING THE TRAIL AREA COME TOGETHER. WE HAVE SEVERAL. WE'LL HAVE POTENTIALLY SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIONS FROM THE CADDO WHO WERE IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS THE WILDLIFE THAT HAS THAT THE AREA IS KNOWN FOR. MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU, MAYOR CARROLL. 
          IS THERE ANY THOUGHT TO REACHING OUT TO THE CADDO NATION AND HAVING THEM COME TO THE UNVEILING OF THESE TWO STATUES? YES, WE HAD ONE OF THE SELECTION PANEL MEMBERS, JEREMY ZORN, WHO IS TUNNACK AND CHOCTAW, AND HE STATED THAT THIS WAS A VERY GOOD REPLICA, BUT HE HAS REACHED OUT TO THE CADDO MOUND MUSEUM IN ALTO, TEXAS, AND THE LANGUAGE SPECIALIST THERE IS SUPPOSED TO RESPOND BACK AND LET US KNOW FOR SURE THAT EVERYTHING ON HERE IS AUTHENTIC. HAVE WE INVITED THEM TO COME TO THE UNVEILING SO THAT THEY COULD BE PRESENT WHEN YOSHI DID HIS PIECES, HE WENT OUT TO ALTO, TEXAS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME FOR THE DEDICATION AND TO DO SOME OF THEIR TRADITIONAL DANCES. OUTSTANDING. I THINK AS WE HONOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE US, THAT THAT'S A GREAT TRIBUTE TO THEM AND ALLOWING THEM TO COME AND TAKE PART IN THE CEREMONY WILL ONLY BRING IT TO LIFE MORE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE CITY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A PLAQUE THAT JUST HAS. FUN THINGS ABOUT THE CADDO TRIBES AND THEIR RELIGION AND DIFFERENT THINGS OF THAT NATURE, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, SCHOOLS THAT WANT TO BRING THEIR THEIR STUDENTS OUT CAN REALLY LEARN A LOT ABOUT THE CADDO NATION. 
          OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR, I HAD A QUICK QUESTION FOR THE ARTIST. MR. VANDERBILT, FIRST, INCREDIBLE WORK. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT. IT'S REALLY EXCITING. THE TWO QUESTIONS I HAD, THE BASE SEEMS TO BE ROUND ON THE STATUE AND IN HERE AND SQUARE ON ONE OF 
          [01:00:02]
THE DEPICTIONS. IS IT GOING TO BE ROUND OR SQUARE? THIS WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED NOT KNOWING WHAT THE OTHER ARTISTS HAD IN MIND, BUT SINCE THE OTHER ARTIST IS PUTTING IT ON A RECTANGLE BASE, I THINK THE THOUGHT WAS TO DO IT ON A RECTANGLE AS WELL. AND THAT'S WHY WE DID THAT. JUST CURIOUS. THE MAIN QUESTION I HAD WAS ALONG THE LINES OF THE STAINED CONCRETE FOR THE BASE. 
          ARE YOU USING THAT ON YOUR OTHER STATUES WHICH YOUR LIFE SPAN BEEN WITH THAT MAINTENANCE COMPARED TO THE BRONZE AND THE, YOU KNOW, STAINLESS STEEL AND STUFF LIKE THAT? WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH, WITH THE STAINED CONCRETE. THERE'S A HUGE PIECE THAT WE DID IN ARLINGTON, MEADOWBROOK PARK ON ABRAMS THERE. THAT'S THAT WAS INSTALLED IN 2005, AND IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY REPORTED. IF THE IF THE STAINED CONCRETE EVER NEED TO BE TOUCHED UP, WE CAN HANDLE THAT AS WELL. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY. AND I KNOW IT WAS MENTIONED THAT YOU ALL HAD REACHED OUT TO HEAR BACK. AND SO COUNCIL THAT WILL BE UP TO US. IF WE WANT WE CAN EITHER OFFER APPROVAL OR APPROVAL CONTINGENT UPON HEARING BACK FROM THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CADDO THERE AT THE MUSEUM. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. IN A CONTINGENCY, WE WOULD WAIT UNTIL WE HEARD BACK FROM THEM TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS ACCURATE BEFORE STARTING ON THE PROJECT, AND THE ARTIST IS AWARE OF THAT AS WELL. OKAY, SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE ITEM. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU MAYOR. I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. OKAY, SO NO, NO CONTINGENCY. 
          CORRECT? NO, I'LL APPROVE IT AS PRESENTED. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. 
          DO WE HAVE A SECOND? OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRANG, I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH A SECOND AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WAS BEEN PUT INTO IT. AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THESE TWO NEW PIECES. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. LOOKING FORWARD TO. I HAVE AN OFFICE THAT WOULD LOOK LOOK NICE UP IN OR MAYBE OUT IN THE HALL FOR ALL TO SEE WITH THAT. THAT DOES COMPLETE OUR REGULAR AGENDA THIS EVENING. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO OUR WORK SESSIONS. I AM GOING TO TAKE A BRIEF RECESS FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE WE 
          [WS1. Discuss partnering with the Corps of Engineers on a lease agreement for East Fork and Avalon Park.]
SO WITH THAT, I WILL CALL US BACK INTO SESSION. WE'RE IN OUR WORK SESSION PORTION OF THE EVENING WORK SESSION ONE TO DISCUSS PARTNERING WITH THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS ON A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR EAST FORK AND AVALON PARK. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE MET WITH THE COURT. WELL, LET ME STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT. THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS IS DOING A STUDY ON PARK FEASIBILITY. I GUESS IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO PUT THAT. AND WE HAD A MEETING WITH THEM, I GUESS, BACK IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER. IT WAS BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS TO KIND OF SEE WHAT THEIR PLANS WERE. AND SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE HAD ANOTHER MEETING WITH THEM AND THEY HAVE INTEREST IN ENTERING INTO A LONG TERM LEASE FOR EAST FORK PARK AND AVALON PARK, WHICH, AS YOU'LL RECALL, A FEW YEARS AGO, WE DID A STUDY ON WHAT COULD BE DONE OUT THERE IF WE WERE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN THOSE LEASES AT THAT TIME, THE CORPS WAS NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN DOING WHAT WE NEEDED IN ORDER TO ISSUE ANY DEBT OR ANYTHING TO UPGRADE THOSE PARKS. WE DID IN THIS LAST MEETING MET WITH MR. KINARD, WHO'S HERE FROM THE CORPS THIS EVENING TO DISCUSS WHAT THOSE LONG TERM LEASES WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND THEY ARE NOW LOOKING AT MORE LIKE A 50 YEAR LEASE. 
          IT'S PROBABLY LONGER THAN THAT, BUT BUT 50 YEARS IS WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT NOW. SO THEY ARE NEEDING IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DO, THEY'RE JUST NEEDING A LETTER OF 
          [01:05:06]
INTENT TO KIND OF START THAT PROCESS. THEY'RE GOING TO FINISH THEIR STUDY UP BY THE END OF JULY. IS THAT CORRECT? AND THEN IT'LL WORK ITS WAY UP THEIR CHAIN TO WASHINGTON. SO LOCAL GOVERNMENT I'VE ALWAYS SAID LOCAL GOVERNMENT MOVES SLOW. THE HIGHER YOU MOVE UP THE SLOWER IT MOVES. SO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MOVES EXTREMELY SLOW. SO WE MAY KNOW THE RESULTS IN A YEAR. BUT NONETHELESS WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. IF THAT'S THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE. TO DO SO. SO THAT'S ALL WE NEED TONIGHT IS DIRECTION. IF THIS ISN'T A COMMITMENT, THIS ISN'T ANYTHING OTHER THAN US PROVIDING HIM A LETTER OF INTENT THAT WE WOULD ENTERTAIN A LEASE AGREEMENT. SO IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER, THE MAYOR WAS IN THOSE MEETINGS AS WELL. MR. CONNOR IS HERE AS WELL. IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I DID HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU. I KNOW IN OUR MEETING I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME. THERE'S A POTENTIAL TRAILHEAD. THIRD PARK THAT THEY DISCUSSED WITH US. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE POTENTIALLY INTERESTED IN? I HAD A I HAD AN INITIAL BRIEF CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNTY JUDGE ABOUT MAYBE POTENTIALLY WORKING WITH THE CORPS, OTHERS FOR A LONGER TRAIL, AND THAT WOULD JUST BE A TRAILHEAD. IF THAT'S Y'ALL'S DESIRE, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S REALLY MUCH OF A AMENITY. IT'S JUST A VERY SMALL STRIP OF IT'S ON SKYVIEW BEFORE THE RAILROAD TRESTLE. YEAH, IT'S LOCKED NOW, BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S A FEW PICNIC TABLES AT THE PAVILION, BUT THERE'S NO LAKE ACCESS. OR NOW, IN OUR CONVERSATIONS, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING OBVIOUSLY DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH MONEY WE PUT IN IT, THERE'S AN OPTION TO DO SOME PRETTY COOL STUFF. WE WOULD HAVE TO PROBABLY GET WORK WITH THE RAILROAD TO GET SOME PERMISSION FROM THEM TO USE SOME OF THEIR EASEMENTS ALONG THERE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS AN OPTION. WE JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS. IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY. 
          OBVIOUSLY AVALON AND EAST FORK WAS OUR STAFF'S PRIORITY, OKAY. AND I JUST BROUGHT IT UP SO THAT EVERYONE WAS AWARE, BUT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US TO POTENTIALLY RECOMMEND OR REACH OUT TO THE COUNTY REGARDING IF THEY WANT TO POTENTIALLY LOOK AT IT AS A TRAILHEAD FOR A BIKE SYSTEM, AS THEY LOOK AT COUNTY WIDE IMPROVEMENTS AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING WE WOULD TAKE ON. SO, MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU, MAYOR, SINCE THIS IS NOT A PLANNING SESSION FOR THE PURPOSE OF FIGURING OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, I THINK THAT MOVING AHEAD WITH A LETTER OF INTENT TO THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS IS THE RIGHT MOVE TO MAKE. WE'VE INVESTED QUITE A BIT OF TIME AND MONEY IN DISCUSSING THE AGREEMENTS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING, AND I THINK THAT MOVING FORWARD IN THAT DIRECTION WOULD WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU SIR. COUNCILMAN MALIK, THANK YOU MAYOR. AND I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH MAYOR PRO TEM. THE ONLY THING THAT I'D ASK IS THAT CORPS OF ENGINEERS DISCUSSES A LONGER TERM THAN 50 YEARS. IF WE'RE GOING TO INVEST THE MONEY THAT WE WANT, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF SEEING WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THAT. THAT'S THE ONLY THING. OKAY. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR, I'D ECHO MAYOR PRO TEM SENTIMENT ON THE INTENT AND LOOK AT WORKING OUT SOME OF THOSE DETAILS FOR A RENEWAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OKAY, COUNCILMAN STRONG, I AGREE WITH MY FRIENDS. EXCUSE ME, I AGREE WITH MY FELLOW COUNCILMAN SO FAR. OKAY. COUNCILMAN. DUKE, I AGREE A LETTER OF INTENT IS NEEDED. AND I WOULD ALSO ASK THAT WE WOULD, FOR THE LONG TERM, ASSIGN A LIKE A 50 YEAR LEASE TO IT. IF WE'RE GOING TO INVEST MONEY IN PROPERTY. OKAY. 
          COUNCILMAN HOOVER, I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COUNCILMAN. AND JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW, TALKING TO MR. CONNER, THERE'S BEEN NO THE CORPS HAS NOT TAKEN BACK A PARK THAT HAS BEEN LEASED TO THE CITY BECAUSE ONCE THEY OR TO WHOEVER THEY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH, BECAUSE ONCE THEY DO THAT, THE CORPS LOSES THEIR FUNDING FOR THAT PARTICULAR PARK, AND TO TRY TO GET THAT BACK IS PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE. SO AND THEN JUST REAL QUICK, DURING OUR LAST MEETING WITH MR. CONNER, WE KIND OF WALKED THROUGH THAT PREVIOUS CONCEPT AND A MAJORITY OF THOSE ITEMS THAT HAD BEEN PRESENTED IN THE PAST WORK SESSIONS, HE SAID. A LOT OF THOSE WERE OKAY TO DO OUT THERE. SO I THINK THERE'S A 
          [01:10:07]
LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES. I KNOW OUR RESIDENTS HAVE WANTED TO DO THIS FOR A WHILE, AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN FOLKS FROM, FROM OUTSIDE WILEY TO SHOP HERE AND ENJOY OUR LAKE. 
          SO WE'LL GET THAT LETTER OF INTENT AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'LL BE MORE TO FOLLOW. AND I JUST WANTED TO STATE THE DISCLAIMER THAT HE GAVE US IN THE MEETING AS WELL, US PROVIDING THE LETTER OF INTENT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL BE PROVIDED THESE PARKS. ULTIMATELY, THEY TAKE THE ENTIRE STUDY. AND THEN IT ALSO, AS YOU MENTIONED, HAS TO GO THROUGH MULTIPLE LEVELS OF APPROVAL. BUT THIS IS THE STEP OF US SAYING WE WOULD LIKE THOSE THAT THEY CAN THEN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION. SO I JUST JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR MY COLLEAGUES AND THE PUBLIC, IT DOESN'T GUARANTEE THE PARKS, BUT IT IS. BUT WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PARTNERSHIP. SO DO WHAT? WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET HIM LEAVE WITHOUT YOU. SO THANK YOU, SIR. 
          [WS2. Discuss the proposed Vecina manufactured home development generally located at the northeast corner of E. FM 544 and Alanis Drive.]
YES, SIR. AND SO THAT COMPLETES WORK SESSION ONE SO WE CAN MOVE TO WORK SESSION NUMBER TWO TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED VACINA MANUFACTURED HOME DEVELOPMENT, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF EAST FM 544 AND ALLEN EAST DRIVE. MR. HASKINS. OR MR. PARKER, WHOMEVER. NO, NO NO, NOT. I'M GOING TO LET HIM KNOW THAT HE'S ON A ROLL. LET HIM GO. YEAH, HE'S ON A ROLL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING. I WAS JUST PULLING UP THE PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU. YEAH. I'M HERE TO HELP. SO, AS I SAID, FIRST STEP HOMES IS HERE TO ASK FOR A LITTLE BIT OF COUNCIL DIRECTION ON A PROPOSED MANUFACTURED HOME SITE. THEY'VE GOT ALL THE DETAILS IN THEIR PRESENTATION, SO I'M NOT GOING TO HIT ON THOSE. BUT SOME OF THE BIG PICTURE KIND OF ITEMS THAT I WANT, I'D ASK COUNCIL TO THINK ABOUT AS THEY'RE LISTENING TO THIS PRESENTATION IS THIS IS CURRENTLY THIS PROPERTY IS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR ANNEXATION. IT'S OUTSIDE THE CCN FOR SEWER. SO WE'D HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM ON GETTING THAT TAKEN CARE OF. THEY ARE ALSO ASKING FOR PROPOSAL TO EXTEND ATLANTIS BOULEVARD, WHICH WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. SO AS YOU'RE LOOKING, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? IF YOU WOULD CLARIFY FOR ME, SO WHERE THE PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY TO EXTEND IT OR FOR THEM TO EXTEND IT, THEY'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT IN DETAIL. THEY'VE THEY'VE GOT THAT. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WANT THE COUNCIL TO BE AWARE OF AS THEY'RE MOVING THROUGH THEIR PRESENTATION. BUT THEY'LL COVER THE DETAILS OF THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. MAYOR OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IT'S ALREADY UP THERE. RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTION. THERE YOU GO. WE'LL JUST USE THIS. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR PROPOSAL FOR A MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITY. I'M KYLE VARELA WITH FIRST STEP HOMES. AND WE BUILD MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE ATTAINABLE HOME OWNERSHIP, NOT JUST TO THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER, BUT TO THE RETIREE OR TO THE WORKFORCE THAT NEEDS ATTAINABLE HOUSING WITHIN THE CITY, WHERE PRICING LATELY ON HOMES IS PRICING PEOPLE OUT. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD OR THE MEDIAN HOUSING PRICE IN WILEY IS BETWEEN 380 AND $400,000. WE COME IN AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE POINT THAN THAT AND ALSO PROVIDE A WIDE ARRAY OF AMENITIES WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT, SO I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH WHO WE ARE. DAVID ZULEIKA IS OUR FOUNDER AND OWNER. HE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF THREE AND A HALF DECADES OF DOING MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES, AND WE SPECIALIZE IN THE TOP TIER MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES. WE'RE BUILDING THE NICEST ONES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, IF NOT THE UNITED STATES. HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENTS. I'D LOVE TO SHOW YOU GUYS SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'VE BUILT LATELY. I THINK IT'S A ONCE YOU SEE IT, YOU REALIZE, OH, THIS IS REAL. AND IT IS NOT WHAT I HAD IN MY MIND. WE LIKE TO BRING PREMIUM LIVING, BUT ACCESSIBLE LIVING. SO YOU'LL SEE AS THE REST OF OUR PRESENTATION HOW WE HOW WE ACHIEVE THAT. AS I MENTIONED, DAVE IS DONE FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND HE'S DONE OVER 30 MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES. AND WE HAVE A TEAM OF ABOUT 80 PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN AND DEVELOP OUR COMMUNITIES. THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXISTING PROPERTIES WE HAVE IN THE METROPLEX. ACTUALLY, THESE ARE THE EXISTING PROPERTIES WE HAVE IN THE METROPLEX. THE ONES HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ARE GROUND UP NEW BUILDS THAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS THAT ARE CURRENTLY FILLING. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU WOULD SEE WITH OUR WILEY PROPOSAL. AGAIN, I WOULD LOVE TO BRING YOU OUT TO THESE. WE DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS IN THIS PRESENTATION. I CAN GET YOU 
          [01:15:04]
MORE PHOTOS AND MORE INFORMATION ON THE DETAILS, BUT ESTANCIA TORO ROSSO IS IN OAK POINT. IT'S ONE OF THE NICEST ONES IN THE COUNTRY. MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITY LOS CABOS IS IN THE CITY OF GREENVILLE, AND LAS LOMAS IS IN TYLER. THE OTHER THE OTHER PROPERTIES ARE ALL OPERATING COMMUNITIES THAT ARE FULL, AND WE'VE UPGRADED AMENITIES, STREETS, ROADWAYS, ALL THAT TO MAKE THEM AS NICE AS WE CAN FOR OUR RESIDENTS. THIS MAP IS A LIST OF ALL THE PROPERTIES WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THAT WE OWN AND ARE ENTITLING OR ENTITLED. WE HAVE GOTTEN ZONING APPROVED IN CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE TWICE. THE CITY OF DALLAS, CITY OF SHERMAN, AND CITY OF FORT WORTH TWICE. I'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION AND DETAILS OF THOSE ZONINGS. AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNED THROUGH OUR PROCESS IS WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY ASKING FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING, ZONING. WE'RE ASKING FOR A PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT PUTS THE REQUIREMENTS IN TO BUILD IT TO THE QUALITY THAT WE BUILD IT. WE SEE A LOT OF DEVELOPERS TRY TO DO IT AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE. AND YOU THAT'S WHAT YOU GET. AND SO WITH OUR PRODUCT WE PUT THE EXTRA REQUIREMENTS IN FOR THE AMENITIES. WE PUT THE REQUIREMENTS IN FOR ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS THAT USUALLY ARE FORGOTTEN ABOUT. AND SO THAT'S OUR PROPOSAL. WE'D BE SUBMITTING FOR ANNEXATION WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PD STANDARDS. WE'VE WORKED WITH STAFF AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROCESS. IF WE CAN INCLUDE THE ZONING WITH THE ANNEXATION, IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WOULD BE A SEPARATE SUBMITTAL. BUT EITHER WAY, OUR OUR FIRST PROPOSAL WOULD BE ANNEXATION WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH OUR PD STANDARDS, WHICH WE HAVE PREPARED ALREADY, AND WE'VE CREATED THOSE BASED ON OUR OTHER CASES THAT WE'VE GOTTEN APPROVED IN OTHER CITIES THROUGH FEEDBACK WE'VE HAD AND WHAT WE'VE DONE, WHAT RESIDENTS LIKE, WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE. SO OUR HOUSE IS IF I COULD NOT USE THE WORD MANUFACTURED HOUSING, I WOULD NOT USE THE WORD THAT'S THAT IS THE DEFINITION FROM HUD. AND SO WE STICK WITH THAT. BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE THAT IS BUILT OFF SITE. THEY'RE BUILT IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. MOST OF OUR HOUSES COME FROM A PLANT IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, WHERE IT'S CONTROLLED. 
          THEY'RE NOT EXPOSED TO WEATHER. THERE'S GREEN TECHNIQUES, EXTREMELY LOW WASTE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE HOMES, AND IT'S CONSISTENT, REPEATABLE FABRICATION. TWO BY FOUR WALLS, SHEETROCK WALLS, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES. IT WHEN YOU WALK INSIDE OF ONE, YOU THINK YOU'RE IN A NICE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE. THIS LEADS TO HOME OWNERSHIP FOR RESIDENTS. WE'RE VERY COMMUNITY ORIENTED. LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE LUXURY AMENITIES. WE PROVIDE GATED COMMUNITIES. THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE FOR A GATED COMMUNITY. WE'RE LIFESTYLE CENTRIC. OUR DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES ALL YOUR LAWN MAINTENANCE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. SO IT'S A NICE, NICE PERK FOR SOMEBODY THAT IS MAYBE RETIRING AND GOING INTO THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T WANT TO MOW THE YARD EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK. SO THAT'S INCLUDED WHEN YOU LIVE IN OUR DEVELOPMENTS. AND AGAIN, WE DO PROVIDE IN HOUSE FINANCING JUST FOR THAT ATTAINABILITY THE RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGES AND EASY TO QUALIFY 80 TO 90% QUALIFY LIKE 3% DOWN. BUT THE 23 YEAR AM. SO HOW CAN THIS PROJECT BENEFIT THE CITY WIDELY? FIRST OFF, WHEN WE STARTED THE NAME FIRST STEP HOMES, IT WAS A FIRST STEP INTO HOMEOWNERSHIP. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE CAME FROM. BUT WHAT WE'RE LEARNING WITH THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IS IT'S NOT JUST THE FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER, IT'S A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DOWNSIZING, AND IT'S A BUNCH OF THE WORKFORCE, TOO. SO THERE ARE FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. 
          ABSOLUTELY. DON'T GET ME WRONG. BUT THERE'S ALSO A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF DOWNSIZING AND WORKFORCE THAT FIRST RESPONDERS AND WHATNOT, TEACHERS THAT ARE LIVING IN OUR COMMUNITIES. SO DOING THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY ENCOURAGES THAT TYPE OF PERSON TO STAY IN THE CITY AND NOT MOVE OUT WHEN THEY GET PRICED OUT OR TAXED OUT OF A HOUSE, PROMOTES HOMEOWNERSHIP, LIKE I SAID, AND HELPS FAMILIES BUILD EQUITY, INCREASES THE LOCAL TAX BASE. AND WHAT I HAVEN'T MENTIONED YET, OUR DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY IS A RV PARK, HIDDEN VALLEY RV PARK, WHERE THERE ARE 90 RVS. SO WE WOULD BE REPLACING THOSE RVS. WE ARE NOT AN RV PARK DEVELOPER. WE PURCHASED THAT THAT PROPERTY FROM SOMEONE ELSE. WE DON'T LIKE THE RVS. IT GIVES A LOOK THAT WE'RE NOT GOING FOR. SO WE WOULD REPLACE THOSE RVS WITH MANUFACTURED HOUSING, AND THEN A FEW OF THEM WOULD BE REPLACED WITH TINY HOMES, WHICH IS LEGALLY CLASSIFIED AS AN RV, BUT IT'S MUCH MORE PERMANENT. AND IT HAS THE LOOK OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME. SO WE CAN GET INTO MORE DETAILS THERE. HERE'S OUR PROPERTY LIMITS WITH THEM. 544 ON THE LEFT SIDE THERE AND 
          [01:20:03]
ALANIZ BOULEVARD OR ALANIZ DRIVE, A TEASE IN AT 544. AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, ALANIZ IS ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. AND SO FOR THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE OWN IN OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WE WOULD PROPOSE TO EXTEND ALANIZ, PER THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, TO THE LIMITS OF OUR THAT ARE ON OUR PROPERTY, MAINLY BECAUSE IN WORKING WITH STAFF AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF 544 IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING. DRIVEWAY IMMEDIATELY OFF OF 544 WOULD BE DIFFICULT. AND SO WE ARE WORKING ON AN ENTRANCE OFF OF ALANIZ. SO LOOKING AT OUR SITE PLAN, IT'S A THE SHAPE OF THE SITE IS A LITTLE FUNNY. WE WORK TO ACQUIRE THAT CENTERPIECE FROM THE BATES AND WE'RE UNSUCCESSFUL. WE WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE THAT IN OUR DEVELOPMENT. IT'S JUST NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME, BUT WE ARE GOING FROM 90 RVS TO A PROPOSED 239 UNITS OVERALL, 28, I THINK, WILL BE THE TINY HOMES OF THAT. 239 WE HAVE AN AMENITY CLUBHOUSE UP AT THE FRONT OF THE SITE. AT THE ENTRANCE, WE'LL HAVE A MAILBOX, PAVILION, PICKLEBALL COURTS, BASKETBALL COURTS, RESORT STYLE POOL. WE'LL HAVE A FULL GYM AND AN AMENITY BUILDING. THE GYM IS COMES WITH YOUR. WHEN YOU LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY, YOU GET ACCESS TO ALL THESE AMENITIES. AND WE ALSO PROVIDE CLASSES TO OUR RESIDENTS FOR ZUMBA CLASSES, EXERCISE CLASSES, YOGA CLASSES. SO WHILE IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A PERSONAL TRAINER, EVERY DAY FOR YOU, THERE ARE SCHEDULED PROGRAMING CLASSES IN OUR DEVELOPMENT TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS ACTIVE AND ENJOYING THEIR COMMUNITY. THESE ARE PHOTOS FROM THREE DIFFERENT CLUBHOUSES THAT WE'VE THAT WE'VE BUILT ON THE PROPERTIES. I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT. ACTUALLY, FOR THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE IS FROM A SITE IN IRVING. WE DID EVEN A FEW YEARS AGO. SO THIS IS THE LEVEL OF DETAIL WE'RE PROVIDING. THE CLUBHOUSE. THIS PROPERTY HAS AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE ON IT, A REALLY NICE TWO STORY HOUSE. WE WOULD PROPOSE TO RENOVATE THAT HOUSE INTO A CLUBHOUSE AND USE SIMILAR ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO GET TO HOLD OUR STANDARD LOOK AND OUR FINISHES AND WHATNOT. HERE'S A PICTURE OF OUR TYPICAL GYMS WITH REALLY HIGH QUALITY EQUIPMENT, SUPER NICE EQUIPMENT, RESORT POOLS THAT WE OFFER TOP OF THE LINE PLAYGROUNDS AND THEN GATED ACCESS. WE USE, SIMILAR TO A TOLL TAG SYSTEM. IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT, YOU JUST DRIVE IN AND IT OPENS OPERATIONS LIKE THAT. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE HOMES IN OUR PROPERTY AND OUR PROPERTIES, AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THESE IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AS WELL, SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE MANUFACTURED HOUSE EVERYBODY HAS IN THEIR MIND. THIS HAS A 612 ROOF PITCH, A HIP ROOF ON THE FRONT, THE BUILT IN PORCH, AND THEN WE PROVIDE STONE SKIRTING THAT'S ACTUALLY A STONE RETAINING WALL AROUND THE HOUSE WITH CINDERBLOCK BEHIND IT ON A FOOTER. IT'S NOT. YOU'LL SEE IN OUR PD LANGUAGE WE DON'T ALLOW THE TYPICAL SKIRTING MATERIALS. 
          WE DON'T WANT THAT LOOK. WE WANT TO BE AS FAR FROM IT AS POSSIBLE. AGAIN, THIS PROVIDES LONGEVITY, QUALITY. AND YOU DON'T THINK YOU KNOW MOBILE HOME WHEN YOU SEE THIS. ANOTHER STREET VIEW OF THESE HOUSES. THESE ARE ACTUALLY SIX, SIX, 12 ROOF PITCH HOUSES. THEY'RE IT'S AN INCREDIBLE WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW WITH MANUFACTURED HOUSING AND HOW THEY GET THESE TO THE SITE. AND PRETTY MUCH FINISH CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOUSE ON ON THE PROPERTY. HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SOME DOUBLE WIDE HOMES. THEY'RE CALLED DOUBLE WIDE. AGAIN IF I COULD AVOID THAT NAME I WOULD. THAT'S THE LEGAL NAME. AND THEN JUST DIFFERENT MODELS THAT WE DO SOME TYPICAL FLOOR PLANS. AND HERE'S A ANOTHER NICE HOME THAT HAS CLEAR STORY WINDOWS ON THE SIDE. 
          THIS IS A SMART BOARD SKIRT THAT WE DO. THAT IS A LONG LASTING MATERIAL THAT THE HOUSE IS ACTUALLY MADE OUT OF. WE USE THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE SKIRTING IN THIS EXAMPLE. THESE ARE ACTUAL PHOTOS OF INSIDE THE HOUSES. THESE AREN'T JUST RENDERINGS OR PRETTY PICTURES. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE QUALITY OF THE INSIDE OF THE HOMES. AND THAT IS OUR PROPOSAL. I'D LOVE TO HEAR ANY FEEDBACK IF THAT'S POSSIBLE IN THIS WORK SESSION, AND ASK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. WE HAVE A FEW OF OUR TEAM HERE. IF I CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION, WE CAN GET SOMEBODY THAT CAN. SO I'LL ASK YOU, SINCE I KNOW YOU GUYS KIND OF MADE EYE CONTACT ABOUT ALANIZ. SO YOU ALL ARE PROPOSING EXTENDING IT. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THAT, THAT DOES NOT RUN THROUGH YOUR PROPERTY. 
          THE ACTUAL INTERSECTION WOULD BE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU HAVE 
          [01:25:04]
DISCUSSED WITH THEM? YES. THERE'S 6000FT■!S THAT WE WOULD NEED TO COMPLETE THAT INTERSECTION, AND WE'RE EITHER SEEKING ACQUIRING THAT. WE'VE TALKED WITH THEM PREVIOUSLY. 
          THEY'RE WANTING TO SELL THE WHOLE CORNER AS A COMMERCIAL TRACT. ANYWAYS, WE NEED THERE'S 6000FT■!S OF NEEDED. I'M GOING O SUGGEST EASEMENT AT THIS POINT. I'M SUGGESTING EASEMENT OR PURCHASE IT. ULTIMATELY, I THINK WE ALL KNOW IN THIS ROOM IF THAT'S DEVELOPED, IT WOULD HAVE TO GET BUILT AS A ROAD. BUT YES, WE ARE IN THE WORKS OF ACQUIRING THAT AS WELL FOR THE PURPOSE OF DRIVING. OKAY. SORRY I FAILED TO MENTION. SO WHEN WE DID THE THOROUGHFARE OF THAT, IT LEFT A TINY PARCEL ON THE VERY BOTTOM. WE'RE PROPOSING A SMALL COMMERCIAL OUT PARCEL AT THE. IF YOU SEE THE VERY BOTTOM OF OUR SITE, IT'S ONE OF LIKE A SMALL COFFEE SHOP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE WOULD NOT BE THE DEVELOPERS OF THAT. WE WOULD JUST PROPOSE THE ZONING OF A COMMERCIAL PARCEL THERE. IN OUR PD LANGUAGE, WE STATE IT HAS TO FOLLOW COMMERCIAL ZONING. IT'S JUST CREATING THAT COMMERCIAL OUT PARCEL THAT IT WAS UNUSABLE TO US. SO WE WOULD THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY USABLE DEVELOPMENT WE COULD FIT ON THAT PROPERTY. OKAY. AND NOW IF I'M READING THE UNIT DISBURSEMENT THAT'S ON THIS SLIDE CORRECTLY, IT SHOWS 90 OF THE DUPLEX STYLE AND THE REST WILL BE 28 TINY HOME AND THE REST WILL BE SINGLE. IS THAT CORRECT? THERE ARE SOME DOUBLES AS WELL. SOME DOUBLES. THERE ARE NONE LISTED. THEY'RE ALL LISTED AS SINGLE, WIDE OR DUPLEX. OKAY. 
          THAT'S THAT'S RIGHT. THOSE GO ON THE SAME LOT. YEAH. SO THE DUPLEX LET ME SHOW I CAN SHOW YOU MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. THAT'S ANOTHER I WAS JUST MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH THAT IS CORRECT. BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT YOU TALKED ABOUT DOUBLE WIDES, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT ANY ARE LISTED IN THIS PLAN. THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT POINT. WE'VE WE'VE HAD A FEW ITERATIONS OF THIS. AND SO YOU'RE CORRECT. THOSE ARE DUPLEX MODELS. ABSOLUTELY. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, I THINK I SAW YOU YOU HAD LIT UP THERE. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THAT COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DEDICATED FOR THE COMMERCIAL SPACE AREA THERE? WHAT KIND OF. YEAH, STRUCTURE WILL GO INTO IT? I MEAN, IT WOULD BE A SMALL LIKE ONE OF THE TINY COFFEE SHOP DRIVE THRUS THAT'S PROBABLY A COUPLE THOUSAND 3000FT■!S. OKAY. WE WORKED WITH OUR ENGINEERS AND THE SITE STILL MEETS THE REQUIRED SETBACKS AND WHATNOT ALONG THE FRONTAGES OF THOSE ROADS AND LEAVES DEVELOPMENT OF THAT SITE USABLE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR, JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS. ONE, AM I SEEING, RIGHT, THAT THE INTERIOR LOT IS LANDLOCKED? IT HAS ACCESS TO IS IT ON THE IS IT ON THAT RIGHT SIDE WHERE A ROAD GOES IN. IS THAT WHERE IT'S ACCESS WOULD BE. 
          IT HAS ACCESS TO WILLIS ROAD. WILLIS ROAD IS A PUBLIC ROAD. AND SO WE ACTUALLY THERE'S A THE LIMITS OF THE SKETCH AREN'T EXACTLY CORRECT OF THAT. THE BOUNDARY IS A LITTLE FUNNY. I THINK IT WAS COPIED FROM OKAY. DCAD. I COULDN'T SEE WHERE I COULD SEE IF, IF THAT WHEELER'S ROAD CONNECTS INTO THAT LOT, MAYBE IN THAT CORNER IS HOW THEY. SO THE WILLIS ROAD IS ACTUALLY ALL DEDICATED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEIR LOT. YOU CAN SEE THE DASHED LINES THAT WE TIE INTO IT AGAIN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT. OH, SO THERE'S SOME DASHED LINES. THAT WILLIS ROAD RIGHT AWAY ACTUALLY GOES THROUGH THAT PROPERTY. OKAY. SO THEY THEY TECHNICALLY HAVE THE ACCESS. IT'S A UNIQUE PROPERTY THAT. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THAT THAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE. YEAH. 
          THE DEAD END HERE ON THE IF YOU CAN SEE MY MOUSE FROM THIS INTERSECTION HERE, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TYING INTO THAT RIGHT OF WAY FOR A FUTURE CONNECTION. AND ONE OTHER QUESTION. SO IN THE PD ARE YOU LOOKING TO SUBDIVIDE. NO. SO THIS WOULD BE A ONE LOT DEVELOPMENT. AND THESE ARE THEY'RE NOT LOTS THEY'RE SPACES IS HOW OUR DEVELOPMENTS WORK. SO WHO WHO WILL END UP HANDLING THE YOU KNOW DRIVEWAY DRIVES SEWER THAT SORT OF STUFF. YEAH. THAT'S OUR OUR DEVELOPMENT. AND WE WOULD DO THE MAINTENANCE. THAT'S THAT'S HOW WE OPERATE OUR PROJECTS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. OR WOULD THERE BE A SEPARATE YOU KNOW, I WANT TO SAY AN HOA BECAUSE I'M SURE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN HOA, BUT I ASSUME IT'S RENTING THE LOT. YEAH, THEY RENT THE LOT AND THEY OWN THE HOUSE. CORRECT. AND SO THAT'S PART OF I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A YEAH, IT'S A PRIVATE 
          [01:30:04]
DEVELOPMENT. SO PRIVATE STREETS, GATED COMMUNITY, PRIVATE UTILITIES WILL HAVE A MASTER METER, THINGS LIKE THAT. NO, NO PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY WITHIN OUR DEVELOPMENT OTHER THAN WHAT GOES THROUGH WILLIS ROAD. WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTRUCTION, THE ROADS, MAINTENANCE, THE ROADS. AND I KNOW YOU'RE IN THE BEGINNING. I'M NOT SUGGESTING YOU SHOULD BE HERE ALREADY, BUT HAS FIRE LOOKED AT THIS YET? WE'VE HAD OUR, YOU KNOW, EARLY DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS, AND I THINK THEY HAVE WE'VE TALKED WITH A FEW DIFFERENT GROUPS. SO MR. HASKINS CAN ANSWER THAT. 
          YEAH. FIRE DID A VERY PRELIMINARY, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT THAT IT'S YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT THEIR TWO POINTS OF ACCESS. WILLIS IS NOT THE GREATEST ROAD TO DRIVE A QUINT DOWN, BUT IT'LL WORK IN AN EMERGENCY. IF THE SECTION FOR ALANIS. THAT BEING SAID, OUR MAIN GOAL THIS EVENING, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE FOR THIS TO GO THROUGH ANNEXATION WITH A SERVICE PLAN AND A AND A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND THEY'D HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK ON THEIR SIDE. SO OUR GOAL THIS EVENING WOULD BE TO SEE WHETHER COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN STAFF TIME AND THE DEVELOPER'S TIME AND EFFORT IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU. MAYOR. IT'S A GREAT LOOKING PROJECT. 
          THE ONE THING I AM CONCERNED WITH IS THE 90 DUPLEX MODELS. I THINK I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME DOUBLE WIDES, BECAUSE I THINK IN A DUPLEX MODEL, FROM THE DEPICTION IN THE DRAFT, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ONE UNIT THAT'S DIVIDED SOMEHOW INTO TWO. AND THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE A HARD TIME WRAPPING MY HEAD AROUND IS IF I OWN HALF OF IT AND DECIDE TO LEAVE, WHAT HAPPENS? YEP. BECAUSE I OWN HALF OF THAT HOUSE. AND I'M GOING TO SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M LEAVING. SO ONE NIGHT THEY PULL UP, GRABBED MY HALF OF THE HOUSE, HAUL IT OFF, AND BOB AND SUE WAKE UP NEXT DOOR AND THERE'S NO WALL. SO I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. I CAN DEFINITELY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. HERE'S HERE IS A THE FLOOR PLAN OF THE DUPLEX. ACTUALLY, IT'S REALLY TWO SINGLE WIDE HOMES WITH SLOPED ROOFS THAT ARE PARKED THREE INCHES FROM EACH OTHER, AND THE SIDING IS TIED TOGETHER AND THE ROOF CAP IS PUT ON THERE, SKIRTED INDIVIDUALLY. SO IF ONE HOUSE DID LEAVE, YOU WOULD WANT TO MAKE THE SKIRTING NICER UNDERNEATH. BUT IN ALL ALL THAT TO SAY, IT'S SO YOU CAN'T GET UNDER YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOME. THERE'S A PROTECTION. THEY ARE TWO SINGLE SINGLE WIDES RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. OKAY. THERE'S NOTHING FANCY. IT'S JUST WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT IN OUR PD BECAUSE THERE'S TYPICALLY SETBACKS FROM HOMES. AND SO IN THIS MODEL THE SETBACK BETWEEN THESE WOULD BE ULTIMATELY ZERO. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE IDENTIFY THIS AS A AS A DUPLEX UNIT. AND WE HAVE THESE ON THE GROUND AT A DEVELOPMENT IN DENTON AND CERRITO IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME SEE THEM. AND THE PARK IS SOLD OUT. WE BUILT IT LAST YEAR. 
          THEY'RE ALL SOLD. IT'S A FANTASTIC PRODUCT. AND THEN THE COMMENT ABOUT HAVING DOUBLE WIDES, A PORTION OF THOSE DUPLEXES RENAMED AND UTILIZES DOUBLE WIDES TO ALLOW FOR MORE SPACIOUS FACILITY. THAN THE DOUBLE WIDE. YEAH, IT'S ALL ONE UNIT INSTEAD OF TWO. SO YOU HAVE ON YOUR ON YOUR PLAN. THAT DOESN'T SHOW TO BE ANY. IT SHOWS 90 DOUBLE WIDE. I MEAN 90 DUPLEXES AND NO DOUBLE WIDE. NO. YOU'RE RIGHT THAT THAT WAS A MISTAKE ON OUR END TO HAVE THE DOUBLE WIDE IN THIS PICTURE HERE. WE DID HAVE IT IN OUR SITE. AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH TO TRY TO GET THE NUMBERS. BUT ANYWAYS, YEAH, WE CAN ACTUALLY ABSOLUTELY REVISE THAT AND PUT SOME DOUBLE WIDES BACK INTO OUR, OUR MODEL. YEAH I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK THAT WOULD PROBABLY ALLOW FOR FOLKS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT LARGER PLACE. YEAH, BUT I LIKE THE IDEA. I THINK IT'S A GOOD USE OF THE LAND. I, I'M KIND OF THE ONE THING THAT BOTHERS ME IS THE, THE BATES PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, ONLY BECAUSE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE, I MEAN, THERE IS SOME CONCERN AS TO WHAT THE CURRENT PROPERTY'S UTILIZATION IS AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT HOMEOWNERS. SO BEING WITH THE CURRENT PROPERTY IS AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE HOMEOWNERS. YOU'RE SAYING. YEAH, I MEAN, I, I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT GIVEN THAT IT IS AN EXISTING RV PARK, THE TOP, THE NORTHERN 12 ACRES. YEP. THAT WE ARE IMPROVING THAT DEVELOPMENT, IMPROVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE. IT'S CURRENTLY SEPTIC. WE WOULD WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY GO ON TO CITY SEWER IS THE REASON FOR ANNEXATION. SO WE'D CLEAN UP THAT AND WE'D CLEAN UP THE SEPTIC THAT YOU MIGHT BE DEALING WITH THE NEIGHBORS, IF THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THAT AS THEIR BACKDROP. NOW WE'RE IMPROVING IT. WE'RE GETTING RID OF THE RVS. IT'S NO LONGER A TRANSIENT COMMUNITY. IT BECOMES A COMMUNITY THAT LIVES THERE. THAT'S ALWAYS A BENEFIT TO NOT HAVE NEIGHBORS COME AND GO. YOU GOT PEOPLE THAT STAY OR TURNOVER IN OUR DEVELOPMENTS IS EXTREMELY 
          [01:35:02]
LOW, MAYBE 1% A YEAR, MAYBE. AND I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION WOULD BE ON THE EXPANSION OR EXTENSION OF ALANIS TO WHERE IT DEAD ENDS INTO THE EDGE OF THE ORANGE AND BLACK DOTTED LINE. WHO ARE YOU PROPOSING? BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CONSTRUCTION FOR THE EXTENSION OF ALANIS. WE WERE PROPOSING TO TAKE IT ON AS ON BEING ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. OKAY BUILDING, AND THAT WOULD BE PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. I THINK WE WORK THROUGH AT LEAST ONE SIDE OF IT WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT, THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. WE GOT TO FIGURE TIMING, REALLY. 
          ULTIMATELY, WE'D LIKE TO BUILD IT. WE NEED IT FOR OUR ENTRY. WE NEED THAT SECOND POINT OF ACCESS, AND IT'S ON THE CITY'S PLAN AND IT'S A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY. SO. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWERS. THANK YOU. YEAH. AND REGARDING THE PIECE OF LAND THAT WE NEED, IT'S OWNED BY VERITAS CHURCH. WE'VE TALKED WITH THEM AND THEIR PLAN IS TO BUILD A FACILITY THERE. 
          AND SO I THINK THIS ACCESS BENEFITS THEM. ULTIMATELY IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THEM GETTING ON BOARD WITH THAT AND GETTING THE EASEMENT WE NEED. SO OKAY, COUNCILMAN, REAL QUICK, I'M GOING TO JUMP IN AND JUST SHARE MY THOUGHTS HERE, AND THEN I'LL COME RIGHT TO YOU. I APPRECIATE THE PRODUCT THAT'S DISPLAYED HERE. MY BIGGEST ISSUE WITH IT IS IT GOES BACK TO WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE LAND PLAN. IT UTILIZES OUR ETJ. THIS AREA IS LISTED AS NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES FOR THE AREAS DIRECTLY ALONG THE ROAD. AND THEN IT'S FOR I BELIEVE MEDIUM DENSITY IS WHAT IT'S CLASSIFIED AS. WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE. THE MANUFACTURED HOME PARK, WHETHER IT'S A PD OR NOT, THAT IS CONSIDERED HIGH DENSITY FOR US WITH THE DUPLEXES, THE TINY HOMES, THE NUMBER OF THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS IS EVEN BEYOND WHAT OUR MANUFACTURED HOME ORDINANCE ALLOWS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT LOT SIZES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME PUTTING THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TOGETHER. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S AN RV PARK, BUT IF IT'S IN THE COUNTY, I DON'T HAVE ANY SAY OVER THAT. 
          THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT OPERATES UNDER THE STATE. BUT WHEN I AGREE TO BRING SOMETHING IN, I WOULD EXPECT IT TO CONFORM WITH OUR LAND PLAN THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE CITIZENS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT AND WHO LIVE BOTH IN NEIGHBORHOODS NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WHO ANTICIPATE THAT IF THAT BECOMES SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL BE A SMALL AMOUNT OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, POTENTIALLY WITH A MEDIUM DENSITY, WHICH IS OUR 1024, WHICH IS A 2400 SQUARE FOOT LOT WITH A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. AND FOR ME, I WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THIS AT THIS LOCATION AGAIN. I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S A THEY'RE THEY'RE NICE AS FAR AS THE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE SET UP FOR THE FUTURE WITH THE COMP PLAN. SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU THAT FEEDBACK FOR ME, AND I'LL MOVE ON TO COUNCILMAN MALIK. THANK YOU MAYOR. APPRECIATE IT. JUST A FEW THINGS. HAVE YOU GUYS MET WITH THE SCHOOL AND HOW THIS WILL IMPACT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT? YES WE HAVE. DOUG MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT BETTER OR WILL MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL. YEAH. I CAN'T HEAR HIM. I DIDN'T PERSONALLY MEET THESE OTHER GUYS, I THINK. ANYWAY, THE I BELIEVE WE DID MEET WITH THE WE'VE HAD SOME CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE, WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HE'S FAVORABLE. SO WE'VE AS FAR AS IMPACT ON YOU KNOW HOW THE IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THAT HE DOESN'T SEEM CONCERNED. I MEAN I, I THINK OUR MEETINGS HAVE GONE FAVORABLY SO FAR OKAY. HOW I GUESS, MR. HASKINS, HOW DOES THIS IMPACT AND WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE SEWER FROM AND HOW THIS WILL IMPACT BASED ON THE COMP PLAN THAT WE HAVE FOR FUTURE USE OF THIS PARTICULAR AREA, HOW THIS WILL IMPACT THE ZONING OF IT? HOW WILL THIS IMPACT THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE SEWER PORTION OF IT? THE ALLEN EAST I DIDN'T GET A REAL ANSWER. WHO'S TAKING THAT ON? IS THE DEVELOPER TAKING IT ON, DEVELOPING IT PRIOR TO THE LOTS BEING PUT ON OR NOT? IS THAT THEIR COST? YEAH. CAN WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE'RE GETTING TO THAT AND WE DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE IN THAT. SO OKAY. MY UNDERSTANDING I APOLOGIZE. GIVE US THE STANDARDS ON THE LOT SIZES THAT A NORMAL HOUSE WILL GO INTO COMPARED TO WHAT WE'RE 
          [01:40:03]
BEING ASKED FOR. OKAY, SO I HAVE THREE QUESTIONS. THE FIRST ONE, THE EASY ONE, IS A MANUFACTURED HOME PARK IN WILEY NORMALLY IS REQUIRED TO HAVE 7200FT■!S, MINIMUM LOT SIZE AND NORMAL HOUSE. IF WE WERE TO DO A NORMAL ONE 10,000FT■!S, 10,000 FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. OKAY, IF I UNDERSTOOD THE DEVELOPER CORRECTLY, HE WAS PROPOSING TO BUILD AT LEAST ONE HALF OF ALANIS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET TO THEIR DRIVE. SIMILAR TO HOW WE HAVE PARK UP HERE, WE HAVE HALF OF IT BUILT. IT'S DIVIDED IT'S TWO WAY RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE OTHER HALF GETS BUILT IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, THEN YOU'VE GOT TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. SO THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD AT LEAST HALF OF IT AS MY UNDERSTANDING. AND AS FAR AS THE SEWER GOES, THEY ARE NOT IN OUR CCN RIGHT NOW. CORRECT. AND SO WHAT WE WOULD REQUIRE IS THAT SOME KIND OF STUDY BE DONE IN ORDER TO SHOW THAT IF WE WERE TO BRING THEM INTO OUR CCN, THAT ALL OF THE DOWNSTREAM SEWER COULD HANDLE THE CAPACITY THAT THEY WOULD BE ADDING, OR THAT THERE IS CAPACITY TO HANDLE WHAT THEY'RE WHAT THEY WOULD BE ADDING TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE WE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO JOIN OUR CCN. OKAY. AND IF, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS NO IF THE STUDY GETS DONE AND THERE IS NO WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BANDWIDTH, I GUESS, TO TAKE THEM ON, ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO UPGRADE THE SYSTEM, WHICH WOULD BE THROUGH THE DEVELOPER. YES SIR. THAT WOULD NOT BE THE CITY. OKAY. AND HAS THE DEVELOPER EVEN LOOKED AT IT, THOUGHT ABOUT IT, DONE ANY RESEARCH ON IT? YEAH, WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED AT THE EXISTING LINES. WE KNOW THERE'S A 36 INCH LINE IN THE FLOODPLAIN IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST, AND THERE'S AN 18 INCH FORCE MAIN ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SITE. CAPACITY WISE, WE DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER YET. OKAY. AND THEN A COUPLE OF MORE QUESTIONS. THERE'S NO FENCING ANYWHERE AROUND THESE THESE DOUBLE WIDE NOT DOUBLE WIDES BUT I GUESS DUPLEXES OR WHATEVER. CORRECT. NOT NOT ON EACH LOT BUT AROUND THE COMMUNITY. IT WOULD BE A GATED COMMUNITY. OKAY. AND THE TWO MAYORS PRO TEM'S QUESTION ON THE IN THE DUPLEX, TWO DIFFERENT OWNERS OF THE DUPLEXES ARE ON EACH SIDE TO MY UNDERSTANDING, ON THESE PROPERTIES, YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU OWN HALF OF THE PROPERTY, YOU REALLY CANNOT CUT IT WITH A SAW AND A HALF AND TAKE IT AND HAUL IT OUT. IS THAT CORRECT? BASED ON THE NORMS AND THE FACTS THAT YOU GUYS KNOW ON THE DUPLEX, IT'S TWO, TWO SEPARATE HOUSES. THERE'S TWO EXTERIOR WALLS WITH AN AIR GAP BETWEEN THEM. IT JUST HAS NO WINDOWS ON ONE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, AND THE OTHER ONE HAS NO WINDOWS. AND THEY'RE PUT TOGETHER. TWO MONO SLOPES COME TOGETHER. YOU CAN MOVE ONE. THEY'LL COME IN AT SEPARATE TIMES. ONE MIGHT COME IN AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE OTHER SIDE MIGHT COME IN TOTALLY LIVABLE, SEPARATE. NOW WE DON'T WE DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF THAT. WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. BUT AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS YOU GUYS ARE OBVIOUSLY TALKING ABOUT KEEPING THE WORKFORCE IN WYLIE. AND PRICES ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE THAN A NORMAL HOUSE. IF YOU WERE TO BUY ONE. NO, I DON'T WANT FIGURES. I WANT PERCENTAGES WITH THE RENTAL OF THE LOT, MAINTENANCE OF THE LOT, AND THE PURCHASE OF THE ACTUAL UNIT PERCENTAGE WISE, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT COMPARED TO A NORMAL 1500 SQUARE FOOT TO 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE THAT WE HAVE IN WYLIE. YEAH. NO. I'LL BE OPEN OUR OUR LOT RENT. IT VARIES ON THE COMMUNITY. I THINK THIS IS A 7 TO $800 LOT RENT. THAT'S MAINTENANCE INCLUDED OR NOT. MAINTENANCE INCLUDED GYM, ALL THE AMENITIES. YEAH. YARD. YOU GET A STORAGE SHED ON YOUR PROPERTY TO STORE YOUR STUFF. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS SIDE NOTE WE POLLED OUR RESIDENTS IN ABOUT 80% USED TO HAVE STORAGE OUTSIDE OF OUR DEVELOPMENT. SO WE BRING THAT INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT. WE GIVE THEM A PLACE TO, YOU KNOW, STORE THEIR STUFF. SO THEY'RE NOT PAYING THAT OUTSIDE RENT THAT'S INCLUDED. AND THEN YOUR HOME MORTGAGE, THE HOME IS, YOU KNOW, THEY RANGE FROM 65,000 TO THE NICEST, BIGGEST DOUBLE WIDE WITH ALL THE AMENITIES IS 165. YOU GET A 23 YEAR MORTGAGE ON THAT. YOUR PAYMENT IS LESS THAN $2,000 FOR THE FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE. OKAY. AND IT GOES DOWN FROM THERE. SO OUR WHAT WE FIND IS THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN A TWO BED, TWO BATH APARTMENT MOVE INTO OUR DEVELOPMENTS AND ARE PAYING LESS MONEY THAN RENTING A TWO BED, TWO BATH. AND THEY GET A THREE BED, TWO BATH SHEETROCK INTERIOR, THEIR OWN DRIVEWAY, THEIR OWN SHED. SO THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY, COUNCILMAN DUKE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. SO I HAVE SOME COMMENTS. I THINK IT'S A REALLY NICE PROJECT. I APPRECIATE THE PROJECT, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M CONCERNED, ALONG WITH MAYOR PORTER, ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING PLAN. IT DOES NOT GO ALONG WITH THAT. I'M 
          [01:45:05]
ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE 20 OR 40 RESIDENTS IN BOZEMAN FARMS, THAT THEIR PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING TO GO DOWN IF THIS DEVELOPMENT GOES IN. BECAUSE BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THE SAME VALUE AS, AS THEIR HOUSE. SO THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO LOOK AT A PROPERTY LOSS VALUE LOSS THERE. AND THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY BAD FOR THEM. I SEE A LOT OF HOUSES AND WITH A LOT OF HOUSES I SEE PEOPLE AND WITH MORE PEOPLE OF THAT SIZE, I SEE A LOT MORE TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS. ONE OF OUR TOP CONCERNS COMPLAINTS I GET IS THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN WYLIE AND THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND I MEAN, WE'RE WE'RE DOING THAT NOW. BUT IT'S LIKE, GOSH, THAT'S THAT'S A I SEE A LOT OF CARS THERE TOO. TWO CARS PER HOUSE AND THAT'S A LOT OF CARS. AND IF THEY HAVE A KID, WELL, THAT MEANS THAT KIDS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO WYLIE SCHOOL. AND THAT MEANS THAT THE WALLACE SCHOOL IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO EXPAND, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FLOAT INTO THE BOND, WHICH MEANS MORE TAXES ON THE CITIZENS OF WYLIE, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. BUT THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO, MR. HASKINS, I DO HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE BOUNDARIES OF THIS PROPOSAL. YES, SIR. THESE BOUNDARIES ALL FALL WITHIN THE ETJ AND NOT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF WYLIE. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. 
          SO AT ANY POINT IN TIME, THIS DEVELOPER COULD WALK INTO THE COUNTY OFFICE AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY COUNCIL. AND WYLIE SAYS THEY WANT IT OR NOT. THE ONLY RESTRICTION THEN WOULD BE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SERVICE ALL OF THESE UNITS WITH SOME TYPE OF SEPTIC SERVICE. IS THAT CORRECT? WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS? THAT IS CORRECT. THE ONE THING THAT WE CAN CONTROL BECAUSE IT'S A ETJ IS THE PLATTING, WHICH MEANS THAT FIRE. AND, YOU KNOW, I'D HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR ZONING REGULATIONS. RIGHT. SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE FIRE ACCESS. YES, THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW SECURITY ACCESS. HOWEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY COULD CONCEPTUALLY COME IN HERE AND PUT THIS RIGHT WHERE THEY'RE SUGGESTING, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CONNECTING TO THE CCN. BUT GENERALLY. YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS ON THE SINGLE WIDES THAT ARE BEING PUT TOGETHER AT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT. DO THEY CREATE THEIR, YOU KNOW, FIREWALLS BEFORE THEY GET HERE? IS THAT IS THAT WHAT THEY DO AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO PUT THEM TOGETHER WITH THAT AIR GAP? SO IF THAT'S A REQUIREMENT IN THIS COUNTY, IN THIS I GUESS IN THE CITY, THEN YES, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE INCORPORATED. SO JUST CURIOUS MORE THAN ANYTHING, I WAS TRYING TO FACTOR THROUGH IN THE CONSTRUCTION MIND OF HOW DO YOU GET THEM TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, CLOSER THAN THREE FEET. YEAH. 
          I'M WITH MAYOR PRO TEM IN THE SENSE THAT. IT'S A GREAT LOOKING PROJECT. I'M WITH THE MAYOR IN THE SENSE THAT THE DENSITY IS HIGHER THAN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. AND WHAT I THINK OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS, WHAT THAT HAPPY MEDIUM IS. I'M NOT 100% SURE, COMBINED WITH THE OTHER ISSUES THAT FLOW AROUND IT. ONE OF THOSE BEING, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO RUN INTO AN ISSUE ON THAT SEWER AT THE END OF THE DA, FROM THE ONES THAT THE PUMP STATIONS THAT JUST GOT APPROVED DOWN FROM THERE, HAVING TO PUMP EVERYTHING BACK UP, I THINK THAT'S A LOT BIGGER THING THAN IT'S PROBABLY. BUT THAT'S JUST JUST ME AND MY THOUGHT. SO ASIDE FROM THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PRODUCT. I FEEL LIKE THE PICTURES THAT REPRESENT UNITS ARE NOT FACTUAL IN WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING A BECAUSE YOU'RE RENTING LOTS AND THEY IF THEY GET A LOT THEY CAN BRING THEIR OWN IN OR THEY COULD THEY COULD BUY ONE OF Y'ALL'S. RIGHT. SO YEAH THAT WE DON'T ALLOW OUTSIDE HOMES. WE, WE PURCHASE THEM AND WE SET THEM AND THEN WE SELL THEM TO A RESIDENT. WE HAVE A RETAILERS LICENSE FOR THAT EXACT REASON. WE WANT TO CONTROL THE QUALITY. WE DON'T WANT SOME OLD TIN SHED. 
          SOME OF THAT IS PROBABLY WHAT THREW ME A BIT, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT SOME THAT HAVE 312 PITCHES, SOME WITH 612. THE FLOOR PLANS THAT YOU PROVIDED AREN'T MATCHED IN ANY OF THE PHOTOS THAT ARE THERE. SO THE PHOTOS THAT ARE THERE OF UNITS DON'T MATCH ANY OF THE FLOOR PLANS THAT WERE THERE. SO I DON'T BLAME YOU. I MEAN, I PRESENT IT IN THE BEST LIGHT POSSIBLE AS WELL IF I WAS DOING A PRESENTATION, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT CONSISTENT, WE WERE ASKED TO KEEP IT. THIS IS THE PRODUCT TEN SLIDES HERE. SO WE TOOK A BUNCH OUT THE WE KEPT THE DUPLEX FLOOR PLAN BECAUSE THAT ALWAYS HAS THE MOST QUESTIONS. PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. SO THAT'S THE FLOOR PLAN OF THE DUPLEX. IT'S ALSO A FLOOR PLAN OF A SINGLE WIDE. IF YOU LOOK AT IT YOU KNOW JUST HALF OF IT. WELL, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE PICTURES OF THE PITCH, LIKE THE VAULT ON THAT OF THE CEILING. YEAH, THAT ONE IS NOT A 612. SOME ARE, SOME ARE FOUR, SOME ARE SIX. WE'LL HAVE A VARIETY, A FEW DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. SO WHICH BUT WE KIND 
          [01:50:05]
OF BRINGS TO MY CONCERN OF, I THINK THAT THE UNIT WOULD END UP WITH THAT. NOT A CONSISTENT, HEY, WE'VE JUST PUT IN THIS WHOLE DEVELOPMENT THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS. YOU'RE GOING TO END UP WITH THIS AND THAT AND THAT AND THIS, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS OKAY. IT'S JUST GOOD TO KNOW AND DEAL WITH IT UP FRONT RATHER THAN, YEAH, HEY, I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS. WELL, AND THAT WOULD BE PART OF OUR PD STANDARDS OF, OKAY, THE LOOK THAT'S REQUIRED. 
          I KNOW THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL. I'M NOT HOLDING YOU TO EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. YEP. THANK YOU. MR. HASKINS. I HAD A QUESTION. I MENTIONED MY CONCERN WITH THE DENSITY. COUNCILMAN MALIKI ASKED, I BELIEVE 7200FT■!S, YOU SAID, IS THE STANDARD LOT SIZE UNDER THE STANDARD ZONING FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES. THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. SO WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, SOME OF THESE ARE UNDER 2000. THE FIRST SIX, THERE'S ZERO OF THEM THAT ACTUALLY GET THERE. THE DUPLEXES GET TO 7150. 
          BUT THAT'S TWO SINGLE WIDES PUT ONTO ONE LOT. YES SIR. SO ESSENTIALLY THESE ARE EXTREMELY DENSE COMPARED TO OUR ZONING STANDARDS. WHAT'S WHAT WOULD BE REQUESTED IN THIS PD. YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS FIGURING THAT CORRECTLY. AND I'LL BE HONEST, THAT GIVES ME EVEN MORE PAUSE BECAUSE YOUR DENSEST AREAS ARE RIGHT UP AGAINST THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD. COULD I CLARIFY THAT? SURE. SO THOSE FIRST THOSE FIRST FEW LOTS ARE ALL THE EXISTING PARK. IF YOU LOOK AT THE COLORS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, THE TAN WHERE THE TINY HOMES ARE, THE LIGHT BLUE, THE SKINNY GREEN, THAT YELLOW, THOSE ARE ALL THE EXISTING RV SPACES THAT EXIST. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY INCREASING THE SIZE OF THAT CURRENTLY SITS THERE. THAT IS NEXT TO THOSE NEIGHBORS. AND THERE WILL BE FEWER HOMES NEXT TO THOSE NEIGHBORS THAN CURRENTLY EXIST NOW. AND I AND I APPRECIATE THAT. SO THAT THE LOTS DO LOOK SMALL ON PAPER. 
          ABSOLUTELY. THEY'RE SMALLER AS THEY SIT TODAY WE WOULD BE IMPROVING WHAT'S ADJACENT TO THEM. YES. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AGAIN, THAT'S COUNTY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SAY IN THAT. WE HAD A DEVELOPMENT COME IN NORTH OF THIS AREA THAT IS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AND THEY WERE LEFT IN THE COUNTY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO ADHERE TO THE ZONING STANDARDS THAT WE PUT IN PLACE OFF OF WHAT IS THE ROAD? WE'RE IN STONE. SO JUST NORTH OF THERE IT WAS THE SAME THING. COUNTY PROPERTY. THEY DID NOT HAVE TO ADHERE TO OUR LOT SIZES AND STANDARDS. THEY DECIDED TO BUILD IT IN THE COUNTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUILD IN THE COUNTY IN THAT IN THAT MANNER, I DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OR SAY OVER HOW THE COUNTY LAND IS DEVELOPED, BUT WHEN YOU'RE WANTING TO COME INTO THE CITY, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE COMP PLAN AND THE ZONING STANDARDS, AND I GET THAT IT MAY BE DIFFERENT OR AN UPGRADE OVER OR RV, BUT I'M STILL APPROVING YOU ALL TO PERMANENTLY MAKE THAT PROPERTY INTO SOMETHING THAT GOES AGAINST. AND IT'S NOT A SMALL VARIANCE. AND THE REST OF THE LOTS ARE STILL UNDERSIZED AS WELL. YEAH. YOUR DUPLEX, IF IT'S 7150, IT'S SMALLER. IT'S TWO HOUSES, ESSENTIALLY 3600FT■!S EACH. WHEN YOU DIVIDE THAT INTO THE FACT THAT THEY CAN COME AND GO AND THEY'RE SEPARATE. SO I'M LOOKING AT IT AS THEY ARE ALL THOUSANDS OF FEET SMALLER THAN OUR STANDARD. SO THIS MAKES IT EVEN AN EVEN HIGHER DENSITY THAN WHAT WE ALREADY CLASSIFY AS HIGH DENSITY. SO I APPRECIATE THAT IT REPLACES THE RV PARK. BUT AGAIN, I HAVE TO LOOK AT IT FROM WHAT I CONTROL AND HOLDING PEOPLE TO THE STANDARDS THE SAME WAY THAT ON OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE ETJ PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TOLD THESE ARE OUR ZONING STANDARDS. IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN THE CITY, THIS IS WHAT WE REQUIRE. SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IT'S TRYING TO ALSO BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT. COUNCILMAN STRING. THANK EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU MAYOR TRYING OUT. 
          WELL, FORTUNATELY, COUNCILMAN DUKE TOOK A LOT OF MY CONCERNS AND ALREADY ARTICULATED THEM. 
          BUT AS I SIT HERE, ON THE ONE HAND, YEAH, I LIKE A LOT OF WHAT IT'S DOING, BUT THE LOCATION, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NONE OF US WERE THINKING WHEN WE WERE DOING THE LAND PLAN THAT, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE. WE'RE NOT PLANNING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIKE IT'S ALREADY BEEN HINTED AT. WE'RE NOT PLANNING FOR THE POTENTIAL SEWAGE, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS A RATHER SIGNIFICANT VARIANCE ON THE DENSITY. I MEAN, THAT ALONE, TO THIS DEGREE, GIVES ME PAUSE, NOT INCLINED TO IMPROVE THAT FOR SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY LIMITS IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND WHILE I RESPECT THE RIGHT OF THE OWNER TO BUILD WHATEVER THEY WANT OUT ON KENNY COUNTY LAND, IF THEY WERE TO DO SO, I DON'T KNOW THAT I'D BE INCLINED TO BRING SOMETHING INTO THE CITY AFTER THE FACT EITHER. I THINK IT'S A NICE IDEA. I THINK THIS LOCATION, THOUGH, MAKES THESE UNIQUE CHALLENGES ACCESS WATER AND SEWAGE AS WELL AS TRAFFIC 
          [01:55:10]
DENSITY. AND THEN CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, TECHNICALLY, WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE DUPLEX ONE, THAT'S THAT'S A LOT OF SMASHING INTO THE WAY BELOW THE, WHAT, 7200 SQUARE FOOT THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY REQUIRE IF IT WERE IN THE CITY. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I SIT ON IT AT THE MOMENT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO THE DUPLEX LOT OR DOUBLE WIDE IF IT'S ON IT, IT'S A 65 FOOT FRONTAGE LOT WHICH, WHICH IS LARGER THAN YOUR TYPICAL I GUESS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TEN ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FOOT. BUT TYPICAL DEVELOPMENTS. YOU'LL SEE SINGLE FAMILY 40 FOOT LOTS, 50 FOOT LOTS. SO THAT'S THAT'S PROPOSED AS A 65 FOOT LOT JUST FOR COMPARISON. WELL, GENTLEMEN, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS AND I KNOW THEY'RE LOOKING TO TRY TO GET SOME, I THINK, DIRECT FEEDBACK ON IF YOU GUYS SHOULD PROCEED. WOULD THAT BE FAIR. SO I'M JUST GOING TO ASK EVERYONE TO GENERALLY WEIGH IN ON AND TRY TO PROVIDE SOME DIRECT FEEDBACK. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS, SO I DON'T SEE ANY LIGHTS. SO I'LL I'LL START. COUNCILMAN STRANG, SINCE YOU LAST SPOKE, I'LL LET YOU GO AHEAD. AND I THINK I UNDERSTAND, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE AND I'LL ASK YOU TO TRY TO EVERYONE KEEP IT CONCISE. BUT. YOU KNOW, I'M LOATHE TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING WITH THEIR PROPERTY, BUT IF YOU ASK. 
          SOMETHING THAT CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REALLY THE LOT SIZES JUST NEED TO INCREASE IN SOME WAY. I THINK THE MANUFACTURED HOMES LOOK, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A TRAILER LIKE WE'RE EXPECTING. I RESPECT THE FACT THAT YOU USED A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SKIRTING. IT DOESN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE SKIRTING, RIGHT? TO KIND OF LESSEN THE AMOUNT OF DENSITY THAT'S GOING INTO HERE. AND HOPEFULLY THAT CAN ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC AND THE SEWAGE REQUIREMENTS. IN MY MIND. I MEAN, YOU ALREADY HAVE THE RVS GOING ON AND. LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, IF THIS WAS A BARE PIECE OF DIRT, WE'D BE LOOKING FOR SOME. I MEAN, I WOULD PROBABLY BE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S MORE ON A HALF ACRE SIZE LOT TYPE OF THING. BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS IS. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE INTO THAT. SO IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT, MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO I WOULD AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN STRANG. I BELIEVE THAT IF WE CAN GET CLOSER TO THE LOT SIZE, BEING WITHIN TOLERANCE AND LESS DENSE AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF UNITS ON THE PROPERTY THAT I THINK THE PROJECT LOOKS GREAT. I LIKE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE HOMES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DOUBLE WIDES IN PLACE OF DUPLEXES, AND THEN A BETTER UTILIZATION OF THE PROPERTY THAT BUTTS UP AGAINST JUST THE NORTHERN AREA WHERE THE HIGHEST DENSITY IS. THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONCERN WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS. AND THE ONE THING THAT WE'RE NOT HERE TO DO IS CREATE ANGST AND ANXIETY WITH NEIGHBORS. SO THAT WOULD BE MY COMMENTS. OKAY, COUNCILMAN DUKE, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I AGREE WITH MY COHORTS. I THINK THE LOT SIZE IS TOO DENSE AND THERE'S WAY, WAY TOO MUCH GOING ON THERE. AND I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH OF THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN MALIKI. THANK YOU MAYOR. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO THANK YOU AND THE DEVELOPER FOR WANTING TO INVEST IN WILEY. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROJECT THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO, AND IT JUST SHOWS THAT YOU GUYS ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO BE A GOOD PARTNER FOR WILEY AND PUT THE PRODUCT THAT WILL BENEFIT FOLKS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, IN A THRESHOLD THAT HOUSES ARE UNTOUCHABLE NOWADAYS. SO I THINK THAT'S VERY COMMENDABLE. AND I WANT TO APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK REVISITING THE SITE PLAN AND MAKING SURE THAT THE LOT SIZES ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE SUITABLE TO WHAT WILEY'S ORDINANCES ARE AND, YOU KNOW, WORKING ON THROUGH THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THAT. I AGREE WITH MAYOR PRO TEM ON ON THE DOUBLE WIDES, LOOKING AT THAT AND SEEING HOW THAT FEASIBLE IS FOR YOU GUYS TO DEVELOP THAT AREA, THAT WOULD BE MY COMMENTS. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCILMAN HOOVER. I WOULD AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES UP HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE DOUBLE WIDES AND THE LOT SIZES CLOSER TO OUR STANDARDS. I THINK 
          [02:00:08]
THAT THE DENSITY THAT IS CREATED THERE ADDS A WHOLE LOT TO WHAT WE'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH. AS FAR AS FIRE AND ALL THE AMENITIES. I APPRECIATE YOU, YOU COMING AND BRINGING IT TO US. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, BUT THAT'S NOT RIGHT NOW. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU ALL. I MEAN, I KNOW THIS IS A HARD CHALLENGE FOR ALL BUILDERS AND ALL AREAS WITH, YOU KNOW, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND, YOU KNOW, LAND BEING WHAT IT IS. 
          SO I CAN APPRECIATE THE SOLUTION YOU'RE TRYING TO BRING WITH MY COLLEAGUES. I WOULD ECHO THE, YOU KNOW, SAME THING WE'VE SAID ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DENSITY. I CAN SAY THAT YOU'RE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT HAVE BROUGHT A PLAN THAT ACTUALLY HAS PARKS, AMENITY CENTER, DOG PARKS, PICKLEBALL. 
          SO THERE'S BEEN SOME FORETHOUGHT. AND THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT THAT MATTERS. 
          AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT MATTERS TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING THERE. SO IN ADDITION TO THAT SIZE AND THEN STILL TRYING TO TRY TO LINE UP WITH THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I WOULD SAY LOOK AT AS ALAN GOES THROUGH, WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WOULD END UP LINING UP? I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO END UP SEEING SOMETHING WRITTEN IN THE PD ON THE STANDARDS, ON THE UNITS THEMSELVES. AS FAR AS THE DESIGN, THE FACADE, THE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING TO CREATE SOME UNIFORMITY WITHIN IT THAT WOULD CREATE SOMETHING. IF YOU'VE GONE TO THE EXTENT OF THE CLUBHOUSE AND ALL OF THE OTHER STUFF THAT YOU'VE CREATED, THAT DEVELOPMENT LOOK AND FEEL, INSTEAD OF THAT HODGEPODGE, DIFFERENT SIZE, ROOF PITCHES, DIFFERENT SIZE, THIS DIFFERENT SIZE, THAT. OKAY, IF THAT HELPS. THANK YOU. GREAT. THANK YOU OKAY. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. HOPEFULLY THAT PROVIDES YOU SOME FEEDBACK. GREAT FEEDBACK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND INPUT TONIGHT. THANKS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE TO WORK. SESSION 
          [WS3. Discuss moving the regularly scheduled June 10, 2025 City Council meeting date.]

          SO CURRENTLY THERE'S NOTHING ON THE CALENDAR FOR WEDNESDAY. SO STAFF, IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE DIRECTION, WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO THAT WEDNESDAY EVENING.

THE 11TH. SO YOU CAN'T MAKE IT IF IT MOVES? I BELIEVE SO I CAN. JUST. I'M CONFUSED. GO AHEAD. WE HAVE. 
          WELL, I WAS ALREADY GOING TO MISS THE 10TH, IF THAT HELPS. OH, YOU WERE OUT THAT 10TH PERIOD ANYWAY. OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRANG. YEAH. IT'S GOOD. SO.
